Latest / Solomonster Sounds Off / WWE NXT & AEW Dynamite 10/7/25 Review | TNA INVADES THE PC As AEW Returns To Daily's Place!
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Well, that was a busy night. Busy busy night. Another year,
- 0:04Speaker 1: another Tuesday night head to head. What is this the
- 0:07Speaker 1: third year in a row? And I vowed two years ago,
- 0:10Speaker 1: I said, man, you know, watching bull shows simultaneously at
- 0:13Speaker 1: the same time. Not a fan. Not a fan. Last
- 0:16Speaker 1: year there was a one hour overlap between the two shows.
- 0:19Speaker 1: But this has become a regular thing now. You could
- 0:21Speaker 1: thank baseball for that, where aw Dynamite gets bumped up
- 0:25Speaker 1: by a day to Tuesday, so we get the Tuesday
- 0:28Speaker 1: night war. Oh the war. First time that we've had
- 0:31Speaker 1: a head to head since last year. And this time
- 0:35Speaker 1: NXT opted to go the invasion route, showdown, invasion, whatever
- 0:41Speaker 1: you want to call it between NXT and TNA. So
- 0:44Speaker 1: they chose to do what effectively was its own little
- 0:47Speaker 1: standalone event that didn't really move a whole lot forward
- 0:51Speaker 1: in the way of stories, right, There was a little
- 0:53Speaker 1: bit in there, but not a whole lot. It was really,
- 0:56Speaker 1: you know, in many ways, a self contained event that
- 1:00Speaker 1: you know, if anything, helped promote and push some of
- 1:03Speaker 1: the matches at Bound for Glory this weekend because TNA
- 1:06Speaker 1: has a big pay per view coming up, arguably the
- 1:08Speaker 1: biggest of the year. In Lowell, Massachusetts coming up on
- 1:11Speaker 1: Sunday nights, So not a lot of story progression, at
- 1:14Speaker 1: least on the NXT side. But what this show did
- 1:18Speaker 1: have me wishing I've been saying this for a while.
- 1:22Speaker 1: I do wish that Triple H had not completely abandoned
- 1:24Speaker 1: the traditional Survivor Series elimination style match at Survivor Series. Yeah,
- 1:30Speaker 1: you want to do war games, that's fine. I always thought,
- 1:33Speaker 1: you know, to retain one Survivor Series style match would
- 1:37Speaker 1: be kind of cool. I didn't really see the need
- 1:39Speaker 1: to completely abandon the concept. But we got two of
- 1:42Speaker 1: them tonight, two Survivor Series style elimination matches, and it
- 1:47Speaker 1: was way more even tonight than it's been recently in
- 1:50Speaker 1: terms of the war back and forth between T and
- 1:53Speaker 1: A and NXT. In fact, when this night was over,
- 1:57Speaker 1: even Stephen, we're both brands, had two wins apiece. They
- 2:02Speaker 1: split the baby in the elimination matches, and then the
- 2:06Speaker 1: two championship matches. We had the title for title NXT
- 2:10Speaker 1: Tag Team titles and TNA Tag Team titles, and then
- 2:13Speaker 1: we had a North American Championship match, same thing. We
- 2:17Speaker 1: had one win for the NXT side, and we have
- 2:20Speaker 1: one win for the TNA side, So even Steven when
- 2:24Speaker 1: this night was over, which for TNA is actually very
- 2:27Speaker 1: good because you've had the NXT talents running around with
- 2:30Speaker 1: their top championships now for a few months. It was
- 2:34Speaker 1: about time that TNA got a little bit of shine
- 2:37Speaker 1: on their side. And maybe they didn't win the night,
- 2:40Speaker 1: but I thought that they did. They did well for themselves.
- 2:44Speaker 1: And you know now that they've gotten this head to
- 2:46Speaker 1: head out of the way, you know, in the head
- 2:48Speaker 1: to head with Dynamite, and they did this special and
- 2:51Speaker 1: it's over. Now we see where things go from here.
- 2:55Speaker 1: In terms of for example, Ricky Saints, who just beat
- 2:58Speaker 1: Oba Femi to win the NXE Championship, I couldn't tell
- 3:02Speaker 1: you who really would be next in the line for
- 3:04Speaker 1: a shot at the title other than maybe Trick Williams.
- 3:07Speaker 1: Trick Williams is going to lose his TNA World Heavyweight
- 3:10Speaker 1: Championship to Mike Santana this Sunday. They did some stuff
- 3:13Speaker 1: in the Survivor Series match tonight that made you think
- 3:17Speaker 1: that Ricky and Trick would be the obvious direction. They
- 3:20Speaker 1: have Halloween Havoc, which is coming up in a few weeks,
- 3:23Speaker 1: and that may well be the first challenger for Ricky
- 3:25Speaker 1: Saints because otherwise I don't know. I mean, there's no
- 3:28Speaker 1: obvious other challenger for him. And where Obafemi disappeared to
- 3:32Speaker 1: I don't know. I said it was kind of strange
- 3:34Speaker 1: when he was putting his team together that he wouldn't
- 3:36Speaker 1: want Oba on his team. But maybe that's a sign
- 3:40Speaker 1: that Oba is main roster bounds sooner rather than later.
- 3:43Speaker 1: So he was not on the show tonight. I enjoyed
- 3:45Speaker 1: the NXT show. I thought that the matches, for the
- 3:50Speaker 1: most part, were all good. There were some sloppiness in
- 3:53Speaker 1: the Women's Survivor Series match, the match of the night
- 3:57Speaker 1: on either show. Best match of the entire night. North
- 4:01Speaker 1: American Championship match, Ethan Page must have Ali fucking great
- 4:07Speaker 1: match and Ali, you know, when he was let go
- 4:10Speaker 1: a couple of years ago by WWE, it was a
- 4:13Speaker 1: head scratcher because of the timing of it. You know,
- 4:15Speaker 1: he was in the middle of a North American Championship
- 4:18Speaker 1: feud with Dominic Mysterio. He was going to win the
- 4:20Speaker 1: North American Championship before they cut him. It was just bizarre,
- 4:25Speaker 1: you know, the timing of it. Even Sean Michaels was
- 4:28Speaker 1: very frustrated by that because he had big plans for Ali.
- 4:31Speaker 1: So we knew back then that Ali was a talented guy.
- 4:34Speaker 1: And since he left, you know, when he sort of
- 4:37Speaker 1: constructed this character, which was something he wanted to do
- 4:40Speaker 1: in NXT, they just never allowed him to do so,
- 4:43Speaker 1: actually he wanted to do it on the main roster
- 4:45Speaker 1: and Vince wouldn't let him. But this time away from WWE,
- 4:50Speaker 1: you know, has done him well. You know, he's gone
- 4:52Speaker 1: out there and he just hasn't just had killer matches,
- 4:55Speaker 1: but he's been able to really flesh out this persona
- 4:59Speaker 1: that he has. So the time away from WWE, I
- 5:01Speaker 1: think has done him good. But if there was one
- 5:04Speaker 1: takeaway from me watching him in the ring tonight, and
- 5:07Speaker 1: I see it all the time, you know, whenever I
- 5:09Speaker 1: see him in the ring, but WWE needs to bring
- 5:14Speaker 1: him back at the earliest opportunity that they have. You know,
- 5:17Speaker 1: we hear about Joe Hendry is WWE bound, and I'm
- 5:21Speaker 1: sure he is, and as well he should be. And
- 5:23Speaker 1: I think there's money to be made with Joe Hendry.
- 5:26Speaker 1: But if you're going to say someone like Joe Hendry
- 5:28Speaker 1: is WWE band, you can't tell me that someone like Ali,
- 5:32Speaker 1: you know, would not fit like a glove in terms
- 5:35Speaker 1: of either the main roster or NXT and working with
- 5:38Speaker 1: a lot of the talents that they have. So he
- 5:41Speaker 1: went out there tonight and bumped his ass off. You
- 5:43Speaker 1: worked his ass off, so did Ethan Page. I love
- 5:46Speaker 1: that match, Like I said, best match on either show
- 5:50Speaker 1: of the entire night. So I enjoyed the NXT show.
- 5:53Speaker 1: The AW show I thought was good as well. If
- 5:57Speaker 1: I had to choose between which one I enjoyed, I
- 6:01Speaker 1: would go with the NXT show. The AAW show was
- 6:04Speaker 1: a little bit longer. It was two and a half
- 6:05Speaker 1: hours also tonight, but I thought that, you know, there
- 6:08Speaker 1: were three good matches on the AW show, including we
- 6:13Speaker 1: had a TNT Championship match between the two Kyles, not
- 6:16Speaker 1: that there was any drama whatsoever. I mean from the
- 6:20Speaker 1: moment the match was announced, there was no doubt about
- 6:23Speaker 1: how this was gonna go. We had Kyle Fletcher against
- 6:25Speaker 1: Kyle O'Reilly the main event with Orange Cassidy and pack Right,
- 6:30Speaker 1: two familiar rivals. We've seen them in the ring many
- 6:33Speaker 1: times way back in the past, so they kind of
- 6:35Speaker 1: picked up where they left off. I thought up until
- 6:38Speaker 1: the well the stuff. It was really postmatch, the goofy
- 6:42Speaker 1: stuff with Darby. But they had a good match, you know,
- 6:45Speaker 1: in the main event, so I enjoyed that. And the
- 6:47Speaker 1: tag team match between Brodido and Takeshta and Okada. It
- 6:53Speaker 1: was actually a double Jeopardy eliminator match, so the aw
- 6:57Speaker 1: tag team titles weren't out on the line, and Bandido,
- 7:01Speaker 1: you know, I don't know, I don't know if it's
- 7:03Speaker 1: a legitimate injury or not. I'm not sure if this
- 7:06Speaker 1: supposed injury that he sustained at Arena Mexico is an
- 7:09Speaker 1: injury or just something they manufactured to kind of work
- 7:13Speaker 1: into the story of the match. I'll assume it's legit
- 7:17Speaker 1: unless I read otherwise. But he went out there, you know,
- 7:21Speaker 1: his shoulder was all taped up or wrapped up, and
- 7:24Speaker 1: they still had a really good match. But it was
- 7:26Speaker 1: really just a kind of an appetizer for what these
- 7:29Speaker 1: four men are going to be able to do at
- 7:30Speaker 1: Wrestle Dream. Heel's got the win. They're gonna get a
- 7:33Speaker 1: tag team championship match in a few weeks. So that
- 7:36Speaker 1: was the best match on the Dynamite Show. Everything else
- 7:39Speaker 1: to me was you know, it was fine, it was okay,
- 7:41Speaker 1: it was just kind of there. But I thought overall,
- 7:44Speaker 1: it was a good night of wrestling. I enjoyed myself
- 7:47Speaker 1: for the most part, a little a little too much
- 7:50Speaker 1: watching both shows at the same time and trying to
- 7:52Speaker 1: tune into this what's being said in this promo while
- 7:55Speaker 1: this match is going on, and I have Booker t
- 7:57Speaker 1: on commentary going on. Yeah, you know, I'm listening to
- 8:01Speaker 1: Booker as I'm trying to see what's going on over here.
- 8:04Speaker 1: But I thought overall, it was you know, for the
- 8:06Speaker 1: most part, and enjoyable. Not a wrestling and we'll talk
- 8:08Speaker 1: about it all. This is your Super Tuesday review. We're
- 8:11Speaker 1: talking aw Dynamite, We're talking NXTTNA Showdown. I am the
- 8:16Speaker 1: Solemn Monster. It is Tuesday, October seventh, twenty twenty five.
- 8:21Speaker 1: So here's what we're gonna do. Because I am reviewing
- 8:23Speaker 1: both shows here. Normally it would just be Dynamite. Normally
- 8:27Speaker 1: I wouldn't be live on this channel on Tuesday night,
- 8:29Speaker 1: so everything's sort of turned upside down. So what we're
- 8:32Speaker 1: gonna do here is we're gonna start with that. As
- 8:34Speaker 1: you can see, we're gonna start with NXT and I'm
- 8:36Speaker 1: gonna talk about this NXTTNA show and then at the
- 8:40Speaker 1: conclusion of that, we will switch over to aw Dynamite
- 8:44Speaker 1: and we will run through that show. So NXT won
- 8:47Speaker 1: the coin Toss, So that is what we are going
- 8:49Speaker 1: to begin with here now. They opened the show a
- 8:53Speaker 1: little video package showing some old highlights from the early
- 8:56Speaker 1: days of NXT, the early days of it was NWATNA.
- 9:02Speaker 1: They had some old school footage in there, and they
- 9:05Speaker 1: kick things off with the title for title match, it
- 9:09Speaker 1: was Matt and Jeff Hardy, the reigning TNA Tag Team Champions,
- 9:13Speaker 1: taking on the raginning NXT Tag Team Champions Dark State
- 9:18Speaker 1: and again both titles on the line. So who would
- 9:21Speaker 1: walk out as double champion or would we get some
- 9:24Speaker 1: sort of bullshit draw finish and they all get to
- 9:27Speaker 1: keep their belts. See, that would have been a very
- 9:30Speaker 1: lame way to open the show. I already figured the
- 9:32Speaker 1: Hardys were winning. There were my pick to win. Once
- 9:35Speaker 1: I saw they were opening the show with this, like
- 9:38Speaker 1: I knew. I just knew, because you want to open
- 9:41Speaker 1: the show in a hot way, you know, especially on
- 9:44Speaker 1: a night where you're you know you're head to head
- 9:47Speaker 1: with another show, and you're going to open the show
- 9:49Speaker 1: with this. You want to get things started on the
- 9:51Speaker 1: right foot, and the way to do that is not
- 9:54Speaker 1: to have fucking Dark State beating the Hardys to win
- 9:57Speaker 1: the you know, TNA tag team titles, which was just
- 10:00Speaker 1: it's never going to happen. So they showed TNA President
- 10:04Speaker 1: Carlos Silva, he was in the crowd that new TV
- 10:07Speaker 1: deal announcement could come any week now and they could
- 10:12Speaker 1: very well end up on this network that NXT is
- 10:14Speaker 1: airing on right now. In fact, if you were to
- 10:17Speaker 1: ask me who do I think is the favorite, CW
- 10:20Speaker 1: would probably be the favorite. I mean, that's what the
- 10:23Speaker 1: rumors were a few months ago, CWA and E. I
- 10:26Speaker 1: could absolutely see WWE assisting providing the assist in helping
- 10:32Speaker 1: TNA get a new TV deal with the CW, and
- 10:35Speaker 1: I could see them moving impact from Thursdays to Wednesdays,
- 10:40Speaker 1: just to drive the knife in just a little bit
- 10:44Speaker 1: right in the side. That's what I'm expecting. But we'll
- 10:49Speaker 1: know soon enough, because Carlos Silva has said that whatever
- 10:52Speaker 1: this deal is going to be, he wants it to
- 10:53Speaker 1: kick off the beginning of twenty twenty six. So we're
- 10:56Speaker 1: going to find out very soon. But that would be
- 10:58Speaker 1: a nice little fuck you, wouldn't it. Don't think they
- 11:01Speaker 1: wouldn't do it if they have any influence over these
- 11:04Speaker 1: negotiations whatsoever. Don't think they wouldn't love that. So all
- 11:09Speaker 1: the members of Dark State, they pounced before the match
- 11:12Speaker 1: even began, and the Hardy's just dumped them all, and
- 11:16Speaker 1: then the referee ejected all of the Dark State members
- 11:19Speaker 1: that were not a part of this match. They showed
- 11:21Speaker 1: the Dudley boys. They were watching in the crowd. The
- 11:24Speaker 1: Dudleys and the Hardys are having a tables match at
- 11:27Speaker 1: Bound for Glory this Sunday, the final ever match between
- 11:30Speaker 1: the Hardys and the Dudleys, because Devon Dudley has said
- 11:32Speaker 1: that this is going to be his final match, that's
- 11:35Speaker 1: what he claims. So they were watching on very intently
- 11:38Speaker 1: in the crowd. Dark State had the advantage going into
- 11:42Speaker 1: the first break. They were working over Jeff. Coming out
- 11:45Speaker 1: of that break, Jeff fended off both members hit him
- 11:48Speaker 1: with a whisper in the wind. Matt caught the hot tag.
- 11:50Speaker 1: He hit Dion Lennox with a side effect Osiris Griffin.
- 11:54Speaker 1: He blocked a twist of Fate Matt, though, adjusted into
- 11:57Speaker 1: a DDT, so Matt and Jeff they hit Dion with
- 12:01Speaker 1: the plot twist and Griffin broke up Matt's pin attempt.
- 12:05Speaker 1: Griffin then dumped Jeff out to the floor, put Matt
- 12:08Speaker 1: up in an electric chair position. Matt was able to
- 12:11Speaker 1: fight out of it, and he hit Griffin with a
- 12:13Speaker 1: twist of Fate. Then he hit Dion with a twist
- 12:16Speaker 1: of Fate, and then Jeff tagged in. He hit Dion
- 12:19Speaker 1: with the Swantan Bomb to win the NXT Tag Team
- 12:24Speaker 1: Championship first time in their career that the Hardys can
- 12:29Speaker 1: say that. And I thought the match. It was fun enough.
- 12:32Speaker 1: You know, the crowd was obviously excited to be able
- 12:35Speaker 1: to see the Hardies, and they were even more excited
- 12:37Speaker 1: to see the Hardies actually win the titles, so they
- 12:41Speaker 1: popped huge for the finish. Yeah, the match itself was
- 12:43Speaker 1: a very basic match, solid stuff, nothing blowaway or anything
- 12:48Speaker 1: like that. You pretty much know what you're gonna get
- 12:50Speaker 1: at this stage of the game. You know, the Hardies
- 12:52Speaker 1: are smart. They do what they need to do because
- 12:55Speaker 1: the crowd pops for all of the greatest hits. Whisper
- 12:59Speaker 1: in the win or the poetry in Motion or the
- 13:02Speaker 1: side Effect or Swan tom Bomb, and you know, Dark State,
- 13:07Speaker 1: they're still very young, you know they do. They have
- 13:10Speaker 1: a bright future. Time will tell, maybe individually, not collectively
- 13:15Speaker 1: as a group. Individually, they've got some talented guys in
- 13:19Speaker 1: that in that crew, but there was no way they
- 13:22Speaker 1: were beating the Hardy's here. They just weren't. So, I mean,
- 13:28Speaker 1: the match was fine, big moment there at the finish,
- 13:30Speaker 1: and look, TNA, this was long overdue. TNA needed to
- 13:35Speaker 1: get one over on NXT. TNA lost their World Championship
- 13:40Speaker 1: to NXT. TNA lost their Knockouts Championship to NXT twice,
- 13:50Speaker 1: first to j C. Jane and now kill Annie Jordan.
- 13:54Speaker 1: At what point does TNA get something out of this? Right?
- 13:57Speaker 1: They had to. You had two championship on the line tonight,
- 14:01Speaker 1: and it didn't feel like the North American title was
- 14:04Speaker 1: going to be changing hands. You got the Hardy's who basically,
- 14:08Speaker 1: I mean, look, most people hear the Hardys, who do
- 14:10Speaker 1: they associate the Hardys with? Right, WWE, It's the safest
- 14:15Speaker 1: choice if you go to put your NXT Tag Team
- 14:18Speaker 1: Championships or any NXT championship on anybody. The Hardy's pretty
- 14:23Speaker 1: safe bet. So now it's very interesting because the Hardys
- 14:28Speaker 1: now have the TNA Tag Team Championships, they have the
- 14:32Speaker 1: NXT Tag Team Championships, and I will not be streaming
- 14:36Speaker 1: on Friday night. I will not be here for SmackDown
- 14:38Speaker 1: on Friday because I will be at the House of
- 14:40Speaker 1: Glory show. And it just so happens that one of
- 14:42Speaker 1: the big matches in the House of Glory Show this
- 14:44Speaker 1: Friday is Title for title. This will be the Hardy's
- 14:48Speaker 1: second title for title match in the same week. They're
- 14:51Speaker 1: putting their TNA Tag Team titles on the line against
- 14:55Speaker 1: main event, the eighth Shog Tag Team Champions Jay Lion
- 15:00Speaker 1: Midas Black. They are walking into the NYC Arena as
- 15:04Speaker 1: the TNA and NXT Tag Team champions. They may very
- 15:07Speaker 1: well leave New York on Friday night with three sets
- 15:12Speaker 1: of tag team titles. It'd be very interesting see what
- 15:16Speaker 1: happens here the New Belt Collectors. It looks like it
- 15:20Speaker 1: could happen. It could very well happen. It certainly makes
- 15:23Speaker 1: things a little more interesting. Now come Friday night, can
- 15:26Speaker 1: they repeat what they did tonight? We'll see. So Jordan
- 15:31Speaker 1: Grace was in the ring to officiate the next match
- 15:35Speaker 1: because she was the special guest referee for our first
- 15:39Speaker 1: of two Survivor Series style elimination matches here on this show.
- 15:44Speaker 1: Vick Joseph's wife, Mackenzie Mitchell, who has worked for TNA
- 15:48Speaker 1: for a while now, she handled the ring announcing here
- 15:51Speaker 1: for this match. It was Team TNA captained by the
- 15:55Speaker 1: Knockouts champion Kalanie Jordan with the Inspiration the former Iconics
- 16:02Speaker 1: and Mara Shade, the former Jakara Jackson all for WWE
- 16:09Speaker 1: or NXT Talents or current Klonie Jordan is currently an
- 16:13Speaker 1: NXT Talent, but she's leading Team TNA. They took on
- 16:17Speaker 1: Team NXT, captain by j C Jane, the NXT Women's Champion,
- 16:22Speaker 1: along with Lola Wece, Jada Parker, and Sol Ruka. Now
- 16:27Speaker 1: all eight women entered the ring. They traded hands. The
- 16:31Speaker 1: Inspiration hit Lola and Jada with crossbodies. Shahday hit JC
- 16:37Speaker 1: Jane with a suicide dive. Klonie Jordan hit the pile
- 16:40Speaker 1: of wrestlers outside with a big moonsal. This was Tiffany
- 16:43Speaker 1: Stratton esque. She over rotated on this moonsaal and looked
- 16:47Speaker 1: like she smacked the back of her head on the floor,
- 16:50Speaker 1: just like Tiffany did. Unsmacked that a few weeks ago,
- 16:52Speaker 1: and it was the same move that had Tiffany in
- 16:55Speaker 1: concussion protocol for about a week. So we had soul
- 17:01Speaker 1: Ruka hit the pile of wrestlers immediately after that with
- 17:05Speaker 1: a front flip into a Fosberry flop out over the
- 17:08Speaker 1: top row lands on her feet. Very impressive and that
- 17:12Speaker 1: takes us into a break. So TEAMTNA they cut the
- 17:15Speaker 1: ring in half on soul Ruka reversed a double suplex
- 17:19Speaker 1: from the Inspiration into a double DDT. Shah Day and Parker.
- 17:23Speaker 1: They tagged in, with Parker dominating here. She tackled both
- 17:27Speaker 1: Inspiration members in the corner and then stacked them on
- 17:30Speaker 1: the middle turn buckle, and Jada then hit both of
- 17:33Speaker 1: them with the draping bonzey drop. And at this point
- 17:37Speaker 1: in the match here mars shah Day. She went up
- 17:40Speaker 1: for a moonsalt to Jada Parker. That was the idea.
- 17:45Speaker 1: She hit the moon salt. Unfortunately for her, what she
- 17:50Speaker 1: hit was not Jada Parker. What she hit was the canvas.
- 17:55Speaker 1: She went just a little past her and got nothing
- 17:59Speaker 1: but just the match. She ate the mat completely missed
- 18:03Speaker 1: on the Moon Salt. So then Jada hit shod Day.
- 18:08Speaker 1: And now I will say though, at least shah Day
- 18:10Speaker 1: she sold it right. She realized, Okay, I fucked up,
- 18:14Speaker 1: but I just hit this moon Salt. Nobody was home,
- 18:17Speaker 1: so let me at least sell it right. Unlike what
- 18:19Speaker 1: Klonie Jordan did when she was in that match. Who
- 18:21Speaker 1: she wrestled? Who the hell did she wrestle and victory Road? Lee?
- 18:26Speaker 1: Was it Lee? You know it was h Yeah, it
- 18:28Speaker 1: was the former Zylie Lee ying Lee. They had a
- 18:33Speaker 1: botch move during the match. She was doing a rana
- 18:36Speaker 1: off the apron. She got power bomb instead hard on
- 18:40Speaker 1: the floor outside pops right back up like nothing ever
- 18:42Speaker 1: happened because it wasn't meant to happen. So I say,
- 18:46Speaker 1: fucking sell it. So at least she sold it. Jada
- 18:49Speaker 1: hit shod Day with a sup plex, Klanie broke up
- 18:51Speaker 1: the pin with a splash. Jada dumped Cassie Lee of
- 18:55Speaker 1: the inspiration to ringside. Mara then rolled up Jada for
- 18:58Speaker 1: the first elimination of the man, and while shad Day
- 19:02Speaker 1: was celebrating, she took her eye off the ball and
- 19:04Speaker 1: soul Ruka comes into the ring and she drops her
- 19:08Speaker 1: with a soul snatcher picks up the second elimination of
- 19:12Speaker 1: the match, Marashad Day, thanks for coming. Team TNA was
- 19:16Speaker 1: cutting the ring in half on j C. Jane. When
- 19:18Speaker 1: they came back from the commercial, Lolavice caught the hot tag.
- 19:22Speaker 1: She took down the TNA team with some taekwondo kicks.
- 19:26Speaker 1: Lola hit Jordan and Jesse McKay with her ass smashes.
- 19:29Speaker 1: I don't know how else to say it. She smashes
- 19:31Speaker 1: people with her ass. I mean, I'm not complaining, but
- 19:37Speaker 1: I mean that's that's what she did. So Vice hit
- 19:41Speaker 1: Jordan with a sayudo suplex and then Lola hit Lee
- 19:44Speaker 1: with a spinning backfist to eliminate her. So then McKay
- 19:48Speaker 1: she tapped out to Lola's rear naked choke and now
- 19:52Speaker 1: Team TNA was in a bad spot. Team TNA was
- 19:56Speaker 1: down three to one. The only person remaining for her
- 20:00Speaker 1: Team TNA was the NXT Star. It was the TNA
- 20:05Speaker 1: Knockouts Champion who happens to be a member of the
- 20:08Speaker 1: NXT Roster, and that was Kilanie Jordan. So Jordan hit
- 20:12Speaker 1: Jane with her one of a kind split legged moonsal
- 20:17Speaker 1: problem is Jordan Grace was occupied. She was distracted by
- 20:20Speaker 1: all of the brawling that was taking place at ringside
- 20:24Speaker 1: involving the Inspiration who had been eliminated. So Jordan ended
- 20:29Speaker 1: up getting a two count only once Grace returned to
- 20:32Speaker 1: the ring to make the count. She wasn't very happy
- 20:34Speaker 1: about that. Lola tagged herself in while she was arguing
- 20:38Speaker 1: with Jacy Jane, and Jordan shoved Wece into Jane. Jordan
- 20:43Speaker 1: then hit Vice with an angle slam for the elimination.
- 20:46Speaker 1: This was about twenty minutes into the match. Sol Ruka
- 20:50Speaker 1: hit Jordan with a backpack stunner for a near fall.
- 20:53Speaker 1: Soul and Kilanie they brawled to the top. Jordan hit
- 20:56Speaker 1: Soeul with a super Spanish fly. Sol Ruka then use
- 21:00Speaker 1: the knees to block a four fifty splash and Soul
- 21:03Speaker 1: hit Jordan with a soul snatcher, but j C. Jane
- 21:07Speaker 1: tagged herself in and she stole Soul's pin. She stole
- 21:10Speaker 1: the soul, She stole her pin over Jordan to win
- 21:13Speaker 1: it for Team NXT. A few sloppy moments here in
- 21:19Speaker 1: this match, and Jordan Grace honestly ended up being not
- 21:23Speaker 1: much of a factor. Outside of that one spot, she
- 21:27Speaker 1: pretty much played it straight, you know, the entire time. Otherwise,
- 21:31Speaker 1: a pretty solid showcase I think for a lot of
- 21:34Speaker 1: the women here in this match, and they gave them time.
- 21:37Speaker 1: They gave them over twenty minutes, which they should. You know,
- 21:39Speaker 1: for a Survivor Series style match. You don't give a
- 21:42Speaker 1: match like that twelve minutes. So I felt like they
- 21:45Speaker 1: gave it the time that it needed. They didn't rush
- 21:48Speaker 1: through it, and so it was, you know, solid for
- 21:51Speaker 1: what it was meant to be. I don't think it
- 21:52Speaker 1: was the stronger of the two elimination matches they did,
- 21:56Speaker 1: but it was fine. Now, the NXT team wins. Let's
- 22:00Speaker 1: be honest here, Okay, they had this thing one before
- 22:03Speaker 1: the bell even ray, they had this thing one from
- 22:05Speaker 1: the moment that it was announced. Because there wasn't a
- 22:08Speaker 1: single TNA original representing Team TNA. I mean, it's just
- 22:14Speaker 1: it's sad. It's sad, you know, Like the NXT team
- 22:21Speaker 1: or rather the NXT champion JC Jane makes sense right
- 22:25Speaker 1: leading her team. Kelanie Jordan is an NXT star who's
- 22:28Speaker 1: the TNA Knockouts champion. Okay, fine, but to not have
- 22:32Speaker 1: even that one person on that team. The problem is
- 22:35Speaker 1: that I mentioned this the other day when I look
- 22:37Speaker 1: through the roster on the TNA roster page, if you're
- 22:41Speaker 1: looking for someone who has a name of some description,
- 22:46Speaker 1: because there are a few people on the roster who
- 22:48Speaker 1: are you know, TNA originals that have not been in
- 22:51Speaker 1: WWE that you could have gone with, but nobody would
- 22:54Speaker 1: really care. Right in a situation like this, You're supposed
- 22:57Speaker 1: to be picking the best of the best. That's what
- 23:00Speaker 1: I said with the men, like, why wouldn't Ricky Saints
- 23:02Speaker 1: want Oba Femi on his team? Right? So I'm looking
- 23:05Speaker 1: at the roster though, and the only people that would
- 23:07Speaker 1: really fit the bill who would make sense to have
- 23:09Speaker 1: been on Team TNA in this match are two people
- 23:11Speaker 1: who were never going to be on Team TNA, Tessa
- 23:15Speaker 1: Blanchard and Masha Slamovich. I mean, almost everybody else with
- 23:21Speaker 1: any sort of name has spent most of their time
- 23:24Speaker 1: previously in NXT or the WWE main roster. But it's
- 23:28Speaker 1: just sad, you know that they didn't have at least
- 23:30Speaker 1: that one TNA original, Like on the men's side, Frankie Kazarian,
- 23:35Speaker 1: you know, was on Team TNA. He's been there forever. Yeah,
- 23:38Speaker 1: obviously he laughed and he was in aaw But he
- 23:41Speaker 1: goes back in TNA to like the mid two thousands, right,
- 23:45Speaker 1: So it kind of makes sense that you would want
- 23:46Speaker 1: somebody like that to be on that team. They didn't
- 23:48Speaker 1: have that here, which is kind of crazy if you
- 23:52Speaker 1: think about it. Because TNA is known also for the
- 23:54Speaker 1: knockouts division. I think they could find one in the
- 24:00Speaker 1: Matt Cardona was chatting with the NXT general manager, Ava
- 24:06Speaker 1: Ava berated him for interfering in the Josh Briggs Miles
- 24:09Speaker 1: Bourne match last week, and Cardona said that he only
- 24:12Speaker 1: wanted to help out TNA even though he couldn't be
- 24:14Speaker 1: on the team. He wasn't chosen to be on the team.
- 24:18Speaker 1: He said that he's always ready. So Briggs barged into
- 24:22Speaker 1: the room and Cardona before he came in, quickly hid
- 24:26Speaker 1: behind the door. So Briggs had no idea that Cardona
- 24:30Speaker 1: was in the room, and he actually was there to
- 24:32Speaker 1: ask for the same thing that Cardona had just asked for,
- 24:34Speaker 1: because Cardona was interested in the match with Josh Briggs. Well,
- 24:39Speaker 1: Briggs barges in and he sees Ava and he demands
- 24:42Speaker 1: a match with Matt Cardona and Avas says, well, I
- 24:46Speaker 1: think we can make that happen next week. Briggs says great,
- 24:50Speaker 1: and he exits, never knowing that Cardona was right behind
- 24:54Speaker 1: him in the room and Cardonah thanked Ava and said
- 24:57Speaker 1: that he likes how they do things in nx TI.
- 25:02Speaker 1: He's always ready. He better be ready. On Friday, we
- 25:06Speaker 1: got Cardona and House of Glory against Killer Cross. He
- 25:11Speaker 1: better be ready. He may not make it to the
- 25:13Speaker 1: match with Josh Briggs next week, depending on how this
- 25:16Speaker 1: match goes with Cross. On Friday night, then we had
- 25:21Speaker 1: the match of the night. We had Ethan Page defending
- 25:24Speaker 1: the NXT North American Championship against the man who should
- 25:29Speaker 1: have been and would have been the North American Champion
- 25:31Speaker 1: had things gone a little bit differently two years ago.
- 25:35Speaker 1: Most of Ali representing tna I talked about this on
- 25:40Speaker 1: the podcast this weekend. I really really liked the promo
- 25:43Speaker 1: last week that Ali cut on Page and specifically the
- 25:48Speaker 1: fact that they had him bring up that very real
- 25:51Speaker 1: fact that two years ago he had a match that
- 25:54Speaker 1: was due to him. He was owed a North American
- 25:58Speaker 1: Championship match. He was supposed to rest, so dirty Dom
- 26:02Speaker 1: in the match never happened. So now he's back, here's
- 26:06Speaker 1: his opportunity to cash in on the match that he
- 26:08Speaker 1: was supposed to get that he never did. Makes sense.
- 26:12Speaker 1: I like the fact that they went with that callback
- 26:14Speaker 1: and they had him in the ring, and just some
- 26:16Speaker 1: of the other things he was saying. Also, I just
- 26:18Speaker 1: thought it was a really good promo and this match here.
- 26:24Speaker 1: I was not expecting a title change. But I don't
- 26:27Speaker 1: think you could look at this match and say, well,
- 26:30Speaker 1: the finish was preordained. I already knew coming in for
- 26:33Speaker 1: sure who was going to win this match, right. Believe me,
- 26:36Speaker 1: we saw some championship matches tonight on either show where
- 26:41Speaker 1: the outcome was never in debt, especially on Dynamite. Let's
- 26:43Speaker 1: be honest. The two title matches on a title Tuesday
- 26:46Speaker 1: show where as predictable as fuck. Okay, nobody in their
- 26:50Speaker 1: right mind thought that those matches were going to end
- 26:53Speaker 1: any differently than they did. I don't think you could
- 26:55Speaker 1: say that about this match. And to the credit of
- 26:58Speaker 1: both these men, the deeper into the match they went
- 27:00Speaker 1: in some of the near falls. There's some great near
- 27:03Speaker 1: falls here. They even had me biting on them, believing
- 27:06Speaker 1: them maybe maybe they would pull off a title change here.
- 27:10Speaker 1: So midway through they ended up on the top turn
- 27:12Speaker 1: buckle and Page tried a superplex. Ali knocked him off,
- 27:16Speaker 1: and when Page tried it again, he hit a sunset
- 27:18Speaker 1: power bomb from the top rope. He went up top again.
- 27:22Speaker 1: Page though, hit the ropes which knocked Ali onto the
- 27:25Speaker 1: turn buckle and Page at that point he went for
- 27:28Speaker 1: a backbreaker over the turn buckle, but Ali blocked it,
- 27:32Speaker 1: so Page settled for a snake eyes on the top.
- 27:36Speaker 1: I mean he just dropped him down on that top
- 27:39Speaker 1: turn buckle for snake Eyes hit a super kick for two.
- 27:42Speaker 1: Ali collapsed after he kicked out of the pin and
- 27:45Speaker 1: Page started talking some shit. Now he's starting to feel
- 27:48Speaker 1: himself here, He's getting all cocky. Page went for the
- 27:52Speaker 1: Ego's edge, Ali wormed out of it, clapped his ears.
- 27:57Speaker 1: Ali hit a tornado ddt out of the corner, dragged
- 28:00Speaker 1: Page to the corner. He went up top for a
- 28:02Speaker 1: four to fifty splash. Page got out of the way though,
- 28:05Speaker 1: and then he delivered a kick to Ali's head on
- 28:09Speaker 1: the way down. Page tried for the Ego's edge again,
- 28:13Speaker 1: but Ali countered with a hurricane Rana. Ali duck two
- 28:17Speaker 1: clotheslines and he went for a springboard. Page, though, caught him,
- 28:20Speaker 1: and he tried for his twisted grin finish. Ali worked
- 28:24Speaker 1: out of it, and Ali sent Page outside with a
- 28:28Speaker 1: head scissor and then hit a wild dive. This was
- 28:32Speaker 1: a very wild dive. He came flying through the ropes.
- 28:36Speaker 1: He collided with Page, and the momentum sent both of
- 28:40Speaker 1: them just hurtling over the announced desk. Just this wild
- 28:43Speaker 1: sequence here. Ali then pulled Page back into the ring.
- 28:47Speaker 1: He went up top. His foot though, was caught up.
- 28:52Speaker 1: I don't know if it was the microphone cable or
- 28:54Speaker 1: probably a camera cable, but some sort of long wire
- 28:59Speaker 1: was wrapped around his foot, And at first I was like,
- 29:01Speaker 1: does he not realize that there's a fucking wire around
- 29:04Speaker 1: his foot? But then I realized that, you know, it
- 29:07Speaker 1: was part of what they were going for here. So
- 29:09Speaker 1: as he was trying to free himself from the camera cord,
- 29:14Speaker 1: he got shoved backwards. Page got up and he gave
- 29:17Speaker 1: him a hard shove, and Ali took this hillatious bump
- 29:21Speaker 1: off the top row, flying backwards and he hit the
- 29:25Speaker 1: barricade on the way down. Just a hillatious bump. It
- 29:29Speaker 1: looked great. I wouldn't want to take it, but it
- 29:33Speaker 1: looked devastating here, and Page tossed Ali back into the
- 29:36Speaker 1: ring and he hit twisted grin to get the pin
- 29:38Speaker 1: and retain the championship. Ali worked the match as the
- 29:43Speaker 1: de facto babyface here, which he was always against Ethan Page,
- 29:48Speaker 1: he was always going to be, But he also worked
- 29:51Speaker 1: his fucking ass off. And I don't say that as
- 29:54Speaker 1: if you know he doesn't work his ass off normally,
- 29:58Speaker 1: because of course he does, but it just highlights what
- 30:02Speaker 1: a dumb move it was to cut this guy. It
- 30:05Speaker 1: was dumb enough to cut him in the middle of
- 30:07Speaker 1: a storyline and not at least wrap that up first.
- 30:11Speaker 1: But he's immensely talented and I think he has shown
- 30:15Speaker 1: that he absolutely could have been a much bigger part
- 30:18Speaker 1: of the show than he was, not just an NXT
- 30:20Speaker 1: but on the main roster, and the fact that they
- 30:22Speaker 1: cut him and they let him go was just very dumb.
- 30:26Speaker 1: He's very talented. I think he is one of the
- 30:28Speaker 1: best sellers and bump takers in all of wrestling right now.
- 30:34Speaker 1: Just everything he does when that bell rings, everything he does,
- 30:36Speaker 1: it's so smooth, It just it looks great, and he
- 30:40Speaker 1: just has a knack especially on those nearer falls, for
- 30:43Speaker 1: really convincing the people, you know, and he could do babyface,
- 30:47Speaker 1: he could do heal either way. Again here he was
- 30:51Speaker 1: sort of the de facto babyface, and I don't say
- 30:54Speaker 1: that also to take anything away from Ethan Page. Ethan
- 30:56Speaker 1: Page has had some really great matches himself this year.
- 31:00Speaker 1: This is why he left AEW. He felt like he
- 31:03Speaker 1: wasn't getting anywhere. He didn't see any upper mobility for himself,
- 31:07Speaker 1: and he bet on himself. He had a guaranteed gig there,
- 31:10Speaker 1: I'm sure, and he's like, you know what, I'm not
- 31:11Speaker 1: happy here. I need to leave. And look at the
- 31:15Speaker 1: position that he's in right now. Sean Michaels clearly thinks
- 31:18Speaker 1: the world of him, puts a lot of trust in him,
- 31:21Speaker 1: and I think he will do well on the main roster.
- 31:24Speaker 1: I think that in a way that I didn't when
- 31:26Speaker 1: he first came to WWA. But I think this run
- 31:30Speaker 1: that he has had in NXT has done wonders for
- 31:33Speaker 1: elevating and raising his stock. So credit to him too.
- 31:36Speaker 1: You know, it takes two to tango. He went out there,
- 31:39Speaker 1: Ali went out there. This was excellent stuff, and they
- 31:42Speaker 1: got me to buy into some of those nearer falls
- 31:44Speaker 1: there near the end, even though in my mind I
- 31:46Speaker 1: knew I knew that Ali wasn't gonna win the championship.
- 31:49Speaker 1: But then I'm like, oh, wait a minute. You know,
- 31:51Speaker 1: that's when you could tell, like these guys are really
- 31:54Speaker 1: doing their job. So they had even me convinced, you know,
- 31:58Speaker 1: a couple times there late in that match, great stuff.
- 32:03Speaker 1: The NXT women's team was celebrating backstage. Zaria showed up.
- 32:08Speaker 1: She wanted to talk with her tag team partner Soul Ruka,
- 32:13Speaker 1: who said that they're going to be the women's tag
- 32:15Speaker 1: team champions soon. Zaria was acting as if she was
- 32:18Speaker 1: still bothered, you know, like, oh, I see you're celebrating
- 32:20Speaker 1: with your new friends. Seul was like, I thought we
- 32:23Speaker 1: talked about this. I thought everything was cool. So then
- 32:27Speaker 1: Blake Monroe shows up and she said that Soul is
- 32:30Speaker 1: greedy like Jordan Grace for wanting three championships, because right
- 32:35Speaker 1: now she has two. That's right, she does. She has
- 32:40Speaker 1: the Speed title, she has the women the women's North
- 32:44Speaker 1: American Championship. You gotta spread some of that love around.
- 32:49Speaker 1: I mean, you can't hog up all the championships. I mean,
- 32:51Speaker 1: what does she think she is here the belt collector.
- 32:55Speaker 1: Who does she think she is? We already have one
- 32:58Speaker 1: of those. So anyway, Zari has said that she's not
- 33:04Speaker 1: falling for her stirring the pot, and Blake said that
- 33:07Speaker 1: she's just going after championships, and she smirked. She said
- 33:11Speaker 1: she wonders how long Zaria and Soul's friendship will last.
- 33:16Speaker 1: Elsewhere in the back, we heard from L. E. H.
- 33:18Speaker 1: O Day Doctor Wagner Junior. He was interviewed about his
- 33:22Speaker 1: issues with Ethan Page, which is really the main reason
- 33:25Speaker 1: I figured Ethan was not losing that championship tonight. So
- 33:29Speaker 1: they were interrupted by Lexus King, who accused him of
- 33:33Speaker 1: being Tavian Heights because Tavian Heights had been under a
- 33:38Speaker 1: I think he was under a Doctor Wagner mask last
- 33:40Speaker 1: week or the week before, so Lexus was convinced up
- 33:45Speaker 1: it's Tavian Heights, even though it looked nothing like him.
- 33:48Speaker 1: So then of course Tavion Heights appeared behind him. King
- 33:51Speaker 1: turned around, thought that he was playing some voodoo here. Whatever.
- 33:58Speaker 1: This is one of those little n XT story line
- 34:00Speaker 1: here that I'm not tuned into this show tonight for this,
- 34:06Speaker 1: So we'll move on. They closed the show. This is
- 34:10Speaker 1: it right here? Main event easy two hours here. The
- 34:14Speaker 1: main event was the other Survivor Series style elimination match
- 34:17Speaker 1: with Team NXT captained by Ricky Saints, the NXT champion,
- 34:22Speaker 1: with Trick Williams, the TNA World Heavyweight Champion who they
- 34:26Speaker 1: did not want on Team TNA because they do not
- 34:29Speaker 1: trust this man, and they were right. You watch what
- 34:32Speaker 1: happened here in this match Trick Williams, Miles Bourne and
- 34:36Speaker 1: Javon Evans. They took on Team TNA captain by Mike
- 34:41Speaker 1: Santana with Frankie Kazarian, the reigning TNA International Champion, Moose
- 34:48Speaker 1: and Leon Slater, the reigning X Division champion. Joe Hendry
- 34:52Speaker 1: was the special guest referee for this match, and boy
- 34:55Speaker 1: was he a non factor on this show, but he was.
- 34:59Speaker 1: Hey got to get him on the show in some way.
- 35:01Speaker 1: So this was their idea to get him on the show.
- 35:04Speaker 1: VIC Joseph noted that Kazarian had teamed with his broadcast
- 35:07Speaker 1: partner Booker t when Booker was in TNA, and Booker
- 35:12Speaker 1: noted that Kazarian was just a kid back then. See
- 35:15Speaker 1: that's a polite way of saying he's old. All eight
- 35:20Speaker 1: men stormed the ring to trade hands. Bourne dumped Kazarian
- 35:24Speaker 1: to ringside at the very end and then hit the
- 35:27Speaker 1: pile of wrestlers outside with a flip dive back inside,
- 35:31Speaker 1: Bourne hit a flipping neckbreaker, but he walked into a
- 35:34Speaker 1: slingshot cutter to give Kazarian the first elimination of the match.
- 35:38Speaker 1: We were two minutes into this. We talk about non
- 35:42Speaker 1: factors and thanks for coming Miles Bourne. I don't feel
- 35:47Speaker 1: too badly though for Miles Bourn. Miles Bourne gets to
- 35:50Speaker 1: go home to Stephanie Vicaire every night, so I can't
- 35:54Speaker 1: have too much sympathy for this man. So Kazarian worked
- 35:58Speaker 1: over Javon Evans and he was getting mad at Joe
- 36:01Speaker 1: Hendry's count. We got a brief face off between Santana
- 36:05Speaker 1: and Trick Williams, who tagged in as the legal men.
- 36:07Speaker 1: They're going to be in the main event of Bound
- 36:08Speaker 1: for Glory this Sunday. Trick, though, tagged Evans instead. He
- 36:14Speaker 1: was not interested in going toe to toe just yet
- 36:17Speaker 1: with Mike Santan, so Evans is up with the flip
- 36:21Speaker 1: dive moose, though pulled him out of the air. There
- 36:25Speaker 1: was a hurri and Rona that sent moose flying, but
- 36:28Speaker 1: Slater rolled Evans up for the surprise pin. So that
- 36:32Speaker 1: was the second elimination of this match, and Javon Evans
- 36:35Speaker 1: was stunned that he got beat by Leon Slater. Which
- 36:40Speaker 1: is another match that's coming up soon as well, I
- 36:43Speaker 1: believe on Sunday, and that match is going to be ridiculous.
- 36:48Speaker 1: That match is going to be ridiculous. Of course, Leon
- 36:51Speaker 1: Slater first has to get past the Amazing Red this Friday.
- 36:56Speaker 1: He gets past him, then he's got to deal with
- 36:59Speaker 1: Javon Evans. You know, Amazing Red knows a thing or
- 37:02Speaker 1: two about the X Division. He's kind of been there,
- 37:05Speaker 1: done that before. You know, when Slater won the X
- 37:08Speaker 1: Division Championship at Slammiversary and aj Styles came out put
- 37:13Speaker 1: him over right in that major way on the mic,
- 37:18Speaker 1: the person that he replaced as the youngest X Division
- 37:20Speaker 1: champion of all time was the Amazing Red. So there
- 37:25Speaker 1: was that connection there between the two of them. So
- 37:28Speaker 1: Evans was gone, and that meant that Team NXT was
- 37:31Speaker 1: now down to two Ricky Saints and Trick Williams. So
- 37:36Speaker 1: Slater and Kazarian they double team Williams. He started fighting back. Kazarian, though,
- 37:41Speaker 1: put him back down with a high kick. He began
- 37:44Speaker 1: stomping on Williams and hanging him upside down in the ropes.
- 37:47Speaker 1: Moose tagged in and he charged Williams, though was able
- 37:50Speaker 1: to dodge it, and he went for a tag to
- 37:53Speaker 1: Ricky Saints. Kazarian, though he ran over and he pulled
- 37:57Speaker 1: Saints off the apron, So when Trick got to his corner,
- 38:01Speaker 1: there was no Ricky Saints. There was nobody to tag.
- 38:06Speaker 1: Some Moose took advantage. Williams though hit a backcutter. Saints
- 38:12Speaker 1: got back up on the apron. He tagged himself in
- 38:14Speaker 1: to take on Leon Slater. Saints hit a falcon arrow,
- 38:17Speaker 1: Slater kicked out it. Two Saints went to the ropes.
- 38:20Speaker 1: Kazarian hit him in the back, though, giving Slater a
- 38:23Speaker 1: chance to hit his utopia slam. Saints went to go
- 38:27Speaker 1: tagging Trick right. He needed the assist. He's crawling towards
- 38:31Speaker 1: his corner, and what does Trick Williams do. The TNA
- 38:36Speaker 1: World Heavyweight Champion drops down from the apron, He pulls
- 38:41Speaker 1: a sid and he jumps down, refuses the tag, and
- 38:47Speaker 1: Williams left his partner all alone to fend for himself
- 38:51Speaker 1: against all four members of Team TNA. He pulled the
- 38:56Speaker 1: bad News Brown. He deserted his partner. He said, fuck this,
- 39:01Speaker 1: I'm out of here. See this is why Santina Morellas
- 39:05Speaker 1: said that he can't be trusted. So Kazarian put on
- 39:09Speaker 1: a rear naked choke. He tried to transition into a
- 39:11Speaker 1: cross face, saying they'll rolled it over, and he pinned
- 39:15Speaker 1: him to get the first elimination for Team TNAH or
- 39:19Speaker 1: of a member of Team TNA. So Slater then dove
- 39:23Speaker 1: in to try to finish off Ricky SATs. Saints, though
- 39:25Speaker 1: kicked out. Slater went up top for a swanton. Saints
- 39:29Speaker 1: though got his knees up and he turned Slater over
- 39:32Speaker 1: for a quick pin and the second elimination of a
- 39:35Speaker 1: member of Team TNA. This man is he's doing it
- 39:38Speaker 1: all by himself. So now he has narrowed the gap.
- 39:43Speaker 1: Now it's two on one. Before it was four on one,
- 39:46Speaker 1: now it's two on one. Moose was in next. He
- 39:50Speaker 1: went for a power bomb. Saints though reversed it into
- 39:52Speaker 1: a DDT. He went for the pin. Santana broke it
- 39:55Speaker 1: up and Santana started throwing some hands at Ricky sent
- 39:59Speaker 1: him Downaggering into the corner. Santana went for a power bomb,
- 40:03Speaker 1: but Saints flipped out of it. He delivered a superkick.
- 40:06Speaker 1: Moose went for a spear. Saints, though, dodged it and
- 40:09Speaker 1: hit Santana instead. Santana then shoved Saints into Moose. After
- 40:14Speaker 1: he recovered, Moose hit a power bomb, and then Santana
- 40:18Speaker 1: finished him off with the Spin the Block Discus lariat
- 40:22Speaker 1: to win it for Team TNA and give himself some
- 40:25Speaker 1: momentum going into the main event of Bound for Glory
- 40:28Speaker 1: this weekend. It had to happen. It had to happen.
- 40:32Speaker 1: You could not well go into this show and have
- 40:34Speaker 1: two elimination matches and have the NXT team win in
- 40:39Speaker 1: both of those matches. I mean, you may as well
- 40:41Speaker 1: just shovel the fucking dirt on the grave. Okay, you
- 40:44Speaker 1: couldn't do that. You either had to give both of
- 40:47Speaker 1: them to TNA and shock the world because you know
- 40:50Speaker 1: NX he could afford it, or like I said, split
- 40:54Speaker 1: the baby. And that's what they did tonight. You know,
- 40:56Speaker 1: they gave Team NXT to win on the women's side,
- 40:58Speaker 1: they gave Team TNA the win, and on the men's side,
- 41:01Speaker 1: right nice and clean, even Steven. It had to happen
- 41:04Speaker 1: once the women won at the beginning of the show.
- 41:06Speaker 1: It had to happen this way. And as far as
- 41:10Speaker 1: what they did with Trick, you know what they did
- 41:12Speaker 1: here was they used that as a way to protect
- 41:14Speaker 1: Ricky Saints. Ricky just beat Obafemi, the most dominant champion
- 41:18Speaker 1: that they've had in NXT in a very long time,
- 41:22Speaker 1: and hasn't even defended his title on a ple yet,
- 41:25Speaker 1: and so this was their way of protecting him if
- 41:27Speaker 1: he was going to take the loss to the T
- 41:29Speaker 1: and A Crew. You know, why did he lose because
- 41:32Speaker 1: his partner deserted him. His partner deserted him, and still
- 41:35Speaker 1: he was able to manage two eliminations by himself, but
- 41:39Speaker 1: that was all he could muster. He valiantly fought back.
- 41:42Speaker 1: It just wasn't enough, you know. So they did what
- 41:45Speaker 1: they could to protect their champion. But like with Jordan
- 41:48Speaker 1: Grace and the Women's Magic, Joe Henry ended up being
- 41:50Speaker 1: virtually a nonfactor here outside of a little minor you know,
- 41:54Speaker 1: spat here and there. It was just a way to
- 41:57Speaker 1: get the two of them on the show. I thought
- 41:59Speaker 1: there would be more of a storyline, you know reason
- 42:01Speaker 1: for them to be there, and it didn't really turn
- 42:04Speaker 1: out that way. So Santana now goes into this main
- 42:07Speaker 1: event on Sunday a bound for glory. He is wrestling
- 42:10Speaker 1: Trick Williams. They're gonna be in Lowell, Massachusetts. When they
- 42:14Speaker 1: were in New York, Santana's backyard in July, they had
- 42:17Speaker 1: the chance to put the championship on him. They did
- 42:19Speaker 1: not do it. My only hope is that when he wins,
- 42:24Speaker 1: and he must win that championship on Sunday. Of course,
- 42:29Speaker 1: we all said this about Joe Hendry last year. Not
- 42:33Speaker 1: only did he lose it Slam Aversary, he lost it
- 42:35Speaker 1: bound for Glory. Remember, they waited until Genesis to put
- 42:40Speaker 1: the title on Joe Hendry. So it's not a slam
- 42:44Speaker 1: dunk guarantee that Santana is winning on Sunday. But I'm
- 42:48Speaker 1: pretty sure he's winning on Sunday. My only hope is
- 42:51Speaker 1: that when he does, the reaction in Lowell is as
- 42:56Speaker 1: loud and as positive and energetic and happy as it
- 43:02Speaker 1: would have been in New York, because it would have
- 43:04Speaker 1: been a great, you know moment in front of that
- 43:08Speaker 1: crowd and his friends and his family and his own
- 43:10Speaker 1: you know Backyard Lowell's a little bit different, but again,
- 43:14Speaker 1: as long as you know the fans react to it,
- 43:18Speaker 1: the fans want it, that's really at the end of
- 43:20Speaker 1: the day, all that matters. So that's what I hope for.
- 43:24Speaker 1: I hope the crowd can match the moment on Sunday
- 43:27Speaker 1: when it finally happens. Now, the show did not end
- 43:31Speaker 1: there because they went to the back. Santino and Ava,
- 43:37Speaker 1: the two respective authority figures, are in Ava's office and
- 43:42Speaker 1: they're congratulating each other and Ava asks Santino to bring
- 43:47Speaker 1: the Knockouts Division to NXT next week because she's hosting
- 43:50Speaker 1: a Battle Royal to determine the number one contender for
- 43:54Speaker 1: the NXT Women's Championship, and Santino says that sounds great,
- 44:00Speaker 1: and that's it. That's how they went off the air,
- 44:03Speaker 1: a very anti climactic way to end this show, although
- 44:09Speaker 1: I guess they did it because they would just wanted
- 44:11Speaker 1: to let people know that, Hey, if you're into this,
- 44:14Speaker 1: we're gonna have more TNA people on the show next week,
- 44:17Speaker 1: so tune in. Otherwise, it's kind of a lame fucking
- 44:21Speaker 1: way for this show to go off the air, not
- 44:24Speaker 1: that you couldn't make some kind of announcement, but that's it.
- 44:29Speaker 1: That's the big announcement for next week. So anyway, that's
- 44:32Speaker 1: how the Showdown Special ended. On the whole, I thought
- 44:36Speaker 1: it was a fun two hours. I enjoyed it again.
- 44:39Speaker 1: It was sort of this self contained show that did
- 44:42Speaker 1: more to sort of promote Bound for Glory than anything
- 44:46Speaker 1: NXT is really doing outside of that Battle Royal next week.
- 44:49Speaker 1: I have no idea if it's not trick Williams, I
- 44:52Speaker 1: have no idea who's next in line for Ricky Saints.
- 44:56Speaker 1: And as far as who's next for JC Jane, I
- 44:58Speaker 1: guess we'll find out next week. I mean, if with
- 45:00Speaker 1: somebody from the Knockouts division, I don't know, you know,
- 45:05Speaker 1: who would that person be. Is there a leading candidate
- 45:10Speaker 1: that we think would make sense from the TNA side
- 45:14Speaker 1: to wrestle JC Jane. I think they ought to be
- 45:16Speaker 1: keeping it in NXT, whether it's a Jordan Grace or
- 45:20Speaker 1: you know, someone on their own roster. It should be
- 45:23Speaker 1: somebody from the NXT side. But it does make me wonder,
- 45:27Speaker 1: you know they did that segment if they are inviting
- 45:30Speaker 1: Knockouts to be a part of this and the Knockouts
- 45:33Speaker 1: title is on an NXT talent, then they may want
- 45:36Speaker 1: to swing the other way and potentially have a Knockouts
- 45:40Speaker 1: talent holding the NXT Women's Championship. I just don't know
- 45:43Speaker 1: who that person would be. You know, we're obviously ruling
- 45:47Speaker 1: out a couple of names who are not on the
- 45:50Speaker 1: show tonight. I don't know. I don't know who that
- 45:55Speaker 1: person would be. They do have Indie Hartwell. Andy Hartwell
- 46:00Speaker 1: has a win over Tessa Blanchard. She's already got our championship.
- 46:06Speaker 1: Maybe she could collected other belts. Everyone's collecting belts lately.
- 46:11Speaker 1: Everyone's trying to kind of, you know, pad their stats,
- 46:15Speaker 1: run up the score. Austin says, I want Soul to
- 46:19Speaker 1: take the NXT title. Brother. She's got two belts already,
- 46:23Speaker 1: possibly three. She's going after the tag team titles. She
- 46:27Speaker 1: doesn't need to go after the NXT Women's Championship. I
- 46:31Speaker 1: actually don't want to see Soul Rugal win the NXT
- 46:33Speaker 1: Women's Championship because that means it's gonna prevent her from
- 46:36Speaker 1: being called up sooner. I would like to see her
- 46:38Speaker 1: on the main roster sooner rather than later. But she's
- 46:43Speaker 1: got enough belts. Right now. I think she's doing okay
- 46:46Speaker 1: without worrying about this one. So with NXT out of
- 46:50Speaker 1: the way, you know what that means, it's like that,
- 46:53Speaker 1: It's like magic, It's unbelievable. It's time to talk AW
- 46:58Speaker 1: Dynamite title. Tuesday, they were back home in Jacksonville, so
- 47:04Speaker 1: the big homecoming show and they were a Daily's place.
- 47:08Speaker 1: They opened this show with Tony Shavani. He was in
- 47:11Speaker 1: the ring to introduce the AW World Heavyweight Champion, Hangman
- 47:17Speaker 1: Adam Page out to the ring as well as his
- 47:19Speaker 1: challenger for Wrestle Dream for the AW World title, Samoa Joe,
- 47:24Speaker 1: who is one third of the AW trios titles. Because
- 47:28Speaker 1: everybody has a fucking belt. Joe came out on stage.
- 47:33Speaker 1: He was all decked out in his suit. He was
- 47:35Speaker 1: flanked by the other members of the ops, but he
- 47:38Speaker 1: did not have Powerhouse Hobbs or a Katyori Shabbata come
- 47:41Speaker 1: down to the ring with him. He came down by
- 47:43Speaker 1: himself and they agreed no physicality, so we weren't going
- 47:47Speaker 1: to get a big pull apart brawl or anything like that.
- 47:51Speaker 1: Hangman took the mic first and he said that there's
- 47:54Speaker 1: been six years of AW Dynamite and he's won, he's lost,
- 48:01Speaker 1: He's committed Arson. He even dressed up one year as
- 48:05Speaker 1: the Staypuff marshmallow Man. Last week, he agreed the team
- 48:09Speaker 1: with the Ops, but after he won the match for
- 48:11Speaker 1: the team, Joe lost it and Sucker punched him, and
- 48:15Speaker 1: he's confused. But when Joe yet or he was confused
- 48:18Speaker 1: by this, But when Joe yelled that Page had never
- 48:20Speaker 1: beaten him before, that's what it all became about the
- 48:24Speaker 1: aw World title, and Joe saw Paige with the title
- 48:28Speaker 1: and he wanted it. He said, Joe has been angry
- 48:31Speaker 1: with himself, but Hangman didn't ask for Joe to have
- 48:33Speaker 1: this opportunity due to any kicking and screaming, but rather
- 48:38Speaker 1: because Page feels he owes Joe at all. In the
- 48:42Speaker 1: Ops were some of the ones that made sure the
- 48:44Speaker 1: fight between him and Moxley was a fair fight, which
- 48:47Speaker 1: is something that he respects. So he understood without help
- 48:50Speaker 1: like that, he never would have been able to win
- 48:52Speaker 1: the championship. But that's where his respect stops. He will
- 48:56Speaker 1: not let Joe take that title from him. And then
- 49:00Speaker 1: it was Joe's turn, and Joe said that everything Page
- 49:03Speaker 1: said was absolutely true, but allow him to share some
- 49:06Speaker 1: uncomfortable truths of his own. When Joe looks at Hangman,
- 49:10Speaker 1: he doesn't see the pinnacle of pro wrestling, but instead
- 49:12Speaker 1: he sees a pretender. Page wouldn't be the champion without
- 49:16Speaker 1: the ops, as nobody else had his back more consistently
- 49:19Speaker 1: than they did. Joe was so distracted going after the
- 49:23Speaker 1: death Riders, he took his eye off the world champion.
- 49:26Speaker 1: Page has this fake gratitude, which Joe provided the opportunity
- 49:31Speaker 1: just coming out to collect what he's owed. The most
- 49:34Speaker 1: uncomfortable truth of all is what's standing in front of
- 49:36Speaker 1: him is a fraud, and he's here to check Page.
- 49:41Speaker 1: And he said that he will beat, break and torture him.
- 49:44Speaker 1: He said Hangman would get his licks in at Wrestle Dream,
- 49:48Speaker 1: but he would choke him out and take the title
- 49:49Speaker 1: from him. And at that point Hangman piped up and
- 49:53Speaker 1: he questioned why he always has to defend himself as
- 49:55Speaker 1: a champion to guys like Joe, because he's proved it.
- 49:58Speaker 1: When the bell rings, he accepts that with a bad neck,
- 50:03Speaker 1: Joe will kick his ass for a good bit at
- 50:05Speaker 1: Wrestle Dream. But when the match is over and Joe
- 50:08Speaker 1: is flat on his back beaten as fairly as possible.
- 50:11Speaker 1: Page hopes that Joe brings the same energy for the
- 50:14Speaker 1: sport and for the championship, stands up, looks Page in
- 50:18Speaker 1: the eye and accepts him as the champion of the World.
- 50:24Speaker 1: A fine little verbal joust here between these two men,
- 50:27Speaker 1: just to add some intensity to a World Championship match
- 50:30Speaker 1: that feels very, very random on this Wrestle Dream Show.
- 50:35Speaker 1: Joe always shines in these types of segments. You know,
- 50:38Speaker 1: this was no different. It really was just reiterating a
- 50:42Speaker 1: lot of what we heard Joe say last week. You
- 50:45Speaker 1: know backstage. Wasn't really any new ground broken here, but
- 50:50Speaker 1: they got to hype up a match between two babyfaces,
- 50:53Speaker 1: so this is the way that they've chosen to do
- 50:54Speaker 1: it again. I don't mind Joe being in a position
- 50:57Speaker 1: to challenge for the Championship, it's just the whole way
- 51:00Speaker 1: that this came about. It just reeks of we really
- 51:05Speaker 1: don't have anything rock solid for him to be doing
- 51:08Speaker 1: right now. Until MJF is ready to come back and
- 51:11Speaker 1: announce that he's going to be cashing in his contract,
- 51:15Speaker 1: I'm still thinking World's end. But we do have full gear,
- 51:19Speaker 1: so full gear is not MJF. Who the hell does
- 51:23Speaker 1: hangman wrestle? On that show, we had John Moxley against
- 51:29Speaker 1: Tomohiro Ishi ex caliber talked about Moxley being two and
- 51:33Speaker 1: zero against Yes she and their previous singles matches together e.
- 51:38Speaker 1: She was absorbing some shots and ended up bleeding from
- 51:42Speaker 1: the nose. Moxley floated over a brainbuster attempt, hit a
- 51:46Speaker 1: few big boots until both men started popping up and
- 51:48Speaker 1: no selling until Moxley caught Es She with a bussaku knee.
- 51:53Speaker 1: Both men were down. Moxley was up first. He met
- 51:56Speaker 1: him with a cutter for two and then Moxley signaled
- 51:59Speaker 1: for the end. He can necked on a pile driver,
- 52:01Speaker 1: but is she has no neck? How are you going
- 52:05Speaker 1: to pile drive a man with no neck? So, of
- 52:08Speaker 1: course that didn't work. I was never gonna work. Moxley
- 52:12Speaker 1: instead hit a curb stomp. Is she kicked out again?
- 52:16Speaker 1: So is she hit a forearm shot sliding lariot. He
- 52:19Speaker 1: applied a submission hold. Moxley, though escaped. Both men were
- 52:23Speaker 1: back up. Moxley hit the paradigm shift and Ishi kicked out,
- 52:28Speaker 1: so Moxley applied a rear naked choke until she passed
- 52:32Speaker 1: out and that was the end of that. So they
- 52:34Speaker 1: worked a twelve minute match. It felt like double I mean,
- 52:38Speaker 1: they worked a very deliberate pace for a good chunk
- 52:41Speaker 1: of this, and I don't say that in a great way.
- 52:47Speaker 1: I was not a huge fan of this match here.
- 52:51Speaker 1: It was okay, but it was just like, can we
- 52:54Speaker 1: please kind of get to the finish here? And really
- 52:57Speaker 1: what it was it was just the momentum building win
- 53:00Speaker 1: from Moxley. They're heading into the I Quit match of
- 53:02Speaker 1: Wrestle Dream. You know, they want to show Moxley in there, right,
- 53:05Speaker 1: He just never takes a backstep. He'll take it to you.
- 53:08Speaker 1: And this is what Darby can expect when they get
- 53:10Speaker 1: in there at Wrestle Dream. And that's really all that
- 53:13Speaker 1: this was intended to do. If I had one positive
- 53:17Speaker 1: thing to say about it beyond that, it would be
- 53:18Speaker 1: that normally, in these Death Riders and John Moxley matches,
- 53:22Speaker 1: not all the time, but a lot of the time,
- 53:24Speaker 1: you got the expected Death Riders interference and all the bullshit,
- 53:28Speaker 1: and they kept that to a minimum here. I think
- 53:30Speaker 1: there was one brief spot before the commercial where Marina
- 53:33Speaker 1: Shafir I think she might have gotten briefly involved for
- 53:36Speaker 1: a distraction, but that was it. So you know, they
- 53:39Speaker 1: kept like the Death Rider Shenanigan's to a minimum here.
- 53:43Speaker 1: But I mean, look, if Moxley can't go in there
- 53:45Speaker 1: and BD she, then what are we doing here? Rene
- 53:51Speaker 1: was backstage with the young Bucks who were knocking on
- 53:53Speaker 1: Tony Kahan's office door begging for another money match after
- 53:57Speaker 1: going broke last week. They spent all their money. They
- 54:01Speaker 1: would have fit in well back in the old territory days. See,
- 54:04Speaker 1: nobody taught anything about financial planning back then. Now I
- 54:09Speaker 1: think they teach it to you at the performance center.
- 54:11Speaker 1: I think that's actually something they teach them, which is
- 54:13Speaker 1: very smart. Back then, you didn't have any sort of
- 54:17Speaker 1: financial planning. Financial planning back then was how much money
- 54:20Speaker 1: are we going to spend this week? When we go
- 54:23Speaker 1: to the bar, when we go to the strip club?
- 54:28Speaker 1: Do we have enough cash? So the Bucks that you know,
- 54:32Speaker 1: I think it was Nick Jackson, blew all their money
- 54:34Speaker 1: at the casino, so of course they want Tony kN
- 54:36Speaker 1: to make a money match now. And she asked them
- 54:40Speaker 1: about Jurassic Express. Matt Jackson said they'll have seats tonight
- 54:44Speaker 1: to watch their match. Said they had to give up
- 54:46Speaker 1: some of their sneakers to get them. Nick kept banging
- 54:49Speaker 1: on the door. Tony never did come out after this.
- 54:54Speaker 1: It was Ricochet and the Gates of Agony against the
- 54:57Speaker 1: Hurt Syndicate in a street fight. Uh, Ricochet in the
- 55:01Speaker 1: Gates of Agony. They are They are the Demand, That's
- 55:05Speaker 1: what they call themselves, So the Demand. They threw a
- 55:08Speaker 1: bunch of weapons into the ring before the Hurt Syndicate
- 55:11Speaker 1: even walked out. And they walked out in suits, which
- 55:15Speaker 1: of course is great attire for a street fight, and
- 55:18Speaker 1: dress shirt and tie and fucking jacket. Sure why not?
- 55:23Speaker 1: I mean, irs wrestled in a fucking tie in suspenders,
- 55:25Speaker 1: so why not. So they went at it right from
- 55:29Speaker 1: the bell. The Demand swarmed MVP until Lashley made the
- 55:34Speaker 1: save brawled with toa leone ringside. Ricochet was hiding underneath
- 55:39Speaker 1: the set up table and he was ratted out by
- 55:43Speaker 1: the fans as MVP dragged him out up the ramp
- 55:47Speaker 1: with a snapsuplex lastly cracked Leona with a crutch. In
- 55:52Speaker 1: the ring, Shelton Benjamin slammed Bishop Kahn onto a chair
- 55:56Speaker 1: and everybody fought into a pile, which allowed Ricochet sprint
- 56:00Speaker 1: down the stage and hit a somersault dive onto everybody
- 56:03Speaker 1: that took us into a commercial break back in the ring,
- 56:08Speaker 1: Bishop hit shotgun drop kicks on everybody in his path,
- 56:12Speaker 1: laid out Lashly with a slingshot cross body and Benjamin
- 56:15Speaker 1: with a simone drop and Total Leona tried to put
- 56:18Speaker 1: Lashly through a table, but he slipped free. He charged
- 56:21Speaker 1: for a spear only Bishop chucked the chair at Lashley's
- 56:25Speaker 1: face that kind of stopped him in his tracks. Toto
- 56:28Speaker 1: Leona bealed Lashly through the table until Ricochet and Leona
- 56:32Speaker 1: placed him on another one and Bishop did a cactus
- 56:35Speaker 1: elbow through that table. Total Leona and MVP they smashed
- 56:39Speaker 1: through the barricade ga. They opened the gates on Shelton
- 56:45Speaker 1: Benjamin only for a two count. There was the third
- 56:48Speaker 1: table that got set up at the ring and they
- 56:50Speaker 1: placed Benjamin on top of it. Ricochet hit a shooting
- 56:53Speaker 1: star press off the top. The table didn't break. He
- 56:57Speaker 1: hit a shooting star off the top and the table
- 57:01Speaker 1: did not break. It like sort of started to break
- 57:04Speaker 1: and bend a little bit. It could started to sink,
- 57:07Speaker 1: but the table didn't break, and you could see in
- 57:09Speaker 1: the background I think it might have been Bishop was
- 57:12Speaker 1: basically telling Rikoschhet to go back up, you know, to
- 57:15Speaker 1: redo the spot, and I guess they just didn't hear
- 57:19Speaker 1: him or whatever, because they basically just piled on to
- 57:22Speaker 1: Benjamin to break the table that way, and then the
- 57:24Speaker 1: table finally broke. So this was a very awkward spot here.
- 57:30Speaker 1: So anyway, Benjamin came back, he low Bridge, Total Leona
- 57:34Speaker 1: hit a pumpkne that took out Bishop, leaving Ricochet to
- 57:38Speaker 1: go at it all by himself, and a fourth table
- 57:41Speaker 1: was placed in the corner. As Benjamin went to go
- 57:42Speaker 1: take out Bishop, but Rikoshet took the bullet for him instead.
- 57:47Speaker 1: As Benjamin tried to power bomb, Bishop handed Ricochet a
- 57:50Speaker 1: chair and he hit Benjamin with it. Con went to
- 57:54Speaker 1: charge at Shelton. Lash Lydough flew in with a spear.
- 57:57Speaker 1: He gave one to Ricochet and to Total Leona as well.
- 58:00Speaker 1: Outside the ring, Lashly spiked Total Leona, threw a table
- 58:04Speaker 1: with a spinebuster. Ricochet is all by himself. Three on one.
- 58:09Speaker 1: Benjamin hit this wild released German suplex. He just let
- 58:13Speaker 1: him go and he went flying onto the or through
- 58:17Speaker 1: a table actually, and then he pinned Ricochet to win
- 58:21Speaker 1: the match for the Hurt Syndicate, which honestly is what
- 58:24Speaker 1: I expected. We saw what happened it all out. The
- 58:27Speaker 1: only reason the Hurt Syndicate lost is because MVP took
- 58:30Speaker 1: the losing fall. Kas Shelton Benjamin wasn't going to, and
- 58:34Speaker 1: Bobby Lashley wasn't going to, and Tony Kahan didn't want
- 58:36Speaker 1: to beat them. So we'll beat MVP, right. He barely
- 58:40Speaker 1: wrestles anyway, but it'll still be a win for the Demand,
- 58:45Speaker 1: So they run it back street fight rules. They get
- 58:48Speaker 1: their win back fifty to fifty, even Stevens. So now
- 58:51Speaker 1: they're all not a up a one win apiece. We
- 58:53Speaker 1: have wrestled Dream coming up. I suspect we're gonna get
- 58:56Speaker 1: one more match here the tie breaker, I don't know.
- 58:59Speaker 1: I mean, I already did the street fight, so what
- 59:01Speaker 1: kind of stipulation could that match have? I don't know,
- 59:05Speaker 1: but it sure feels like that's where we're headed. Otherwise,
- 59:08Speaker 1: this was It was what you would expect. It was
- 59:09Speaker 1: a street fight. We got plenty of tables. If you
- 59:13Speaker 1: love tables, this was the match for you. But it's
- 59:16Speaker 1: just a bunch of you know, big guys, just beating
- 59:18Speaker 1: the a bunch of big guys in ricochet, beating the
- 59:21Speaker 1: crap out of each other. It's exactly what it was
- 59:25Speaker 1: advertised to be. Renee was backstage. She was with the
- 59:31Speaker 1: don Kallis family, or I should say maybe about half
- 59:34Speaker 1: the don Kallis family. This was definitely not the entire
- 59:38Speaker 1: don Kallis family. And yet you should I should have
- 59:41Speaker 1: taken a picture of this. Still, the entire screen was
- 59:44Speaker 1: taken up by members of all the people though that
- 59:46Speaker 1: were there. You know who wasn't there? Andrade, the man
- 59:51Speaker 1: who just debuted last week, he wasn't even there. But
- 59:57Speaker 1: you saw Kyle Fletcher, Rocky Romero and Lanzard. You're in Okata?
- 1:00:01Speaker 1: And who else was there? We had Takeshta at Caceo.
- 1:00:07Speaker 1: I mean, I don't remember all the different members who
- 1:00:09Speaker 1: were there. Trumperetta was not there. I know that Mark
- 1:00:13Speaker 1: Davis was not there. Wardlow was not there, but Androte
- 1:00:17Speaker 1: was not there either. Josh Alexander was there, and Don
- 1:00:21Speaker 1: Callus said that Alexander is going to dismantle coota Ibushi
- 1:00:25Speaker 1: on Collision tonight. Kyle O'Reilly is such a mark that
- 1:00:29Speaker 1: he named himself after Kyle Fletcher. Rocky Romero said that
- 1:00:33Speaker 1: Hetceeso Bandido's shoulder out of his socket last week Arena
- 1:00:37Speaker 1: Mexico and that he is the rightful Ring of Honor
- 1:00:40Speaker 1: World champion. Well. Don Callus said that tonight Takeushta and
- 1:00:44Speaker 1: Okada are going to win their match, and then they're
- 1:00:46Speaker 1: going to go on to get a tag team title match,
- 1:00:48Speaker 1: a wrestle dream, and they're going to become the new
- 1:00:52Speaker 1: aw Tag Team Champions. I was talking about the Callus family.
- 1:00:57Speaker 1: I was gonna mention Santo's Ascobar So Santos Esca, as
- 1:01:00Speaker 1: of midnight, is a free agent. He was presented with
- 1:01:04Speaker 1: an offer contract offer by WWE, apparently for more money.
- 1:01:08Speaker 1: But it's not just about money. He wanted some assurances
- 1:01:11Speaker 1: of what they were going to do with him, and
- 1:01:12Speaker 1: evidently they didn't give that to him. So he's a
- 1:01:14Speaker 1: free agent now. And it's sad that My first thought is, well,
- 1:01:19Speaker 1: I guess don Kallis just got a new family member.
- 1:01:24Speaker 1: And you know why I say that only half jokingly,
- 1:01:26Speaker 1: because he very well may end up as a new
- 1:01:28Speaker 1: member of the Don Kallis family. You know, it's a
- 1:01:33Speaker 1: very distinct possibility. We'll see where he ends up. Actually,
- 1:01:40Speaker 1: we should try to grab him. He'd be a great
- 1:01:42Speaker 1: get on the Hog Show. We would love to get
- 1:01:44Speaker 1: him on Hog. I've been a fan of his since
- 1:01:48Speaker 1: the King Querno days in Luca Underground. So after this,
- 1:01:54Speaker 1: it was the reunited Jurassic Express. It was a jungle
- 1:01:57Speaker 1: Boy and Lucasaurus against two jobs. I think one of
- 1:02:00Speaker 1: them was named orian I. I mean, I've I don't know,
- 1:02:06Speaker 1: I think of Orian I think of Orion's belt around
- 1:02:09Speaker 1: the dog's neck from Men in Black. By the way,
- 1:02:13Speaker 1: we also still have not heard from Jack Perry. We
- 1:02:16Speaker 1: have not heard from Jack Perry on this show since
- 1:02:19Speaker 1: Jurassic Express reunited. It all out right. They broke up
- 1:02:23Speaker 1: a few years ago, they went their separate ways. There
- 1:02:26Speaker 1: was some bad blood there, and then we saw they reunited,
- 1:02:30Speaker 1: and we saw the vignettes with him resuscitating Lucasaurus and everything.
- 1:02:34Speaker 1: We still have not heard a fucking word from Jack Perry.
- 1:02:37Speaker 1: I don't expect to hear anything from Lucasaurus. You know,
- 1:02:40Speaker 1: he grunts, he doesn't really speak. It's kind of like
- 1:02:43Speaker 1: the Beast Morte's, you know, so, But Jack Perry, I
- 1:02:47Speaker 1: know he's got you know, he's got the verbal skills
- 1:02:49Speaker 1: to communicate here, and we still have not heard anything. See,
- 1:02:53Speaker 1: I'm just going to assume until they tell us on
- 1:02:55Speaker 1: TV that the reason they reunited is because they turned
- 1:02:58Speaker 1: him heel and he had a failed heel run and
- 1:03:02Speaker 1: so they decided, well, we'll just put them back together.
- 1:03:06Speaker 1: Didn't work out. We were doing this heel stuff with him,
- 1:03:08Speaker 1: it didn't work out, and so we just were just
- 1:03:10Speaker 1: gonna go back to the well. And that's what I
- 1:03:13Speaker 1: will go with until I hear otherwise from Jack Perry
- 1:03:16Speaker 1: on TV. So they showed the young Bucks sitting in
- 1:03:19Speaker 1: the nosebleeds with a bunch of kids. Yes, the Galaxy
- 1:03:24Speaker 1: is on Orion's belt. That's right, the Galaxy. See that
- 1:03:29Speaker 1: could be a new faction name now in aw you
- 1:03:33Speaker 1: know what, I like that better than the Swirl. We'll
- 1:03:38Speaker 1: go with the Galaxy. Lucasaurus does speak from time to time. Yeah,
- 1:03:45Speaker 1: but when was the last time we heard him speak?
- 1:03:47Speaker 1: I mean from time to time. It's been a long
- 1:03:50Speaker 1: time since we've heard him say anything on this show.
- 1:03:54Speaker 1: But then again, he was gone for like a year.
- 1:03:58Speaker 1: So anyway, Lucasaurus slammed O'Ryan down and they hit the
- 1:04:04Speaker 1: assisted flipping power bomb and they got the win. That
- 1:04:08Speaker 1: was it. It was a very quick squash win here
- 1:04:11Speaker 1: for Jurassic Express. After the match was over, the Bucks
- 1:04:14Speaker 1: ran in. They attacked Perry. They threw him into the
- 1:04:17Speaker 1: barricade until Lucasaurus tried for a double choke slam, but
- 1:04:21Speaker 1: he got kicked low. The Bucks had a BTE trigger
- 1:04:25Speaker 1: on Lucasaurus and then they laid out Perry with a superkick.
- 1:04:29Speaker 1: So they took the microphone. They told Perry this is
- 1:04:31Speaker 1: what they in the wrestling business call a callback, and
- 1:04:36Speaker 1: they smashed the microphone into his ribs, which you will
- 1:04:40Speaker 1: recall is the same thing that Jack Perry in this
- 1:04:44Speaker 1: very building at Daly's Place last year, the same thing
- 1:04:48Speaker 1: that Jack Perry did to Tony Khan before they spiked
- 1:04:52Speaker 1: Tony Khan on his head with the Meltzer Driver. So
- 1:04:57Speaker 1: the Bucks then officially challenged Jurassic Express to him match
- 1:05:00Speaker 1: at Wressel Dream before spiking Perry with the TK driver.
- 1:05:05Speaker 1: And I shall tell you because we got the graphic
- 1:05:09Speaker 1: for it later on in the show. Not only is
- 1:05:12Speaker 1: the match official, but Tony Kahan has given the Bucks
- 1:05:16Speaker 1: what they wanted. They wanted this to be a money
- 1:05:18Speaker 1: match because they lost all their money. So this match
- 1:05:21Speaker 1: at Wressel Dream is a five hundred thousand dollars tag
- 1:05:26Speaker 1: team match. Hey, you know what, at least they're finally
- 1:05:30Speaker 1: incorporating the money aspect of it, like they're looping it
- 1:05:33Speaker 1: in in like a storyline way. That actually kind of
- 1:05:36Speaker 1: makes sense. That's a plus. It's not just a random
- 1:05:40Speaker 1: five hundred thousand dollars match in this case, it actually
- 1:05:43Speaker 1: makes sense. They showed the Death Riders out back in
- 1:05:48Speaker 1: the parking lot. Pack called out tangerine balls Orange Cassidy,
- 1:05:54Speaker 1: calling him a pipsqueak. He was gonna wet his appetite
- 1:05:58Speaker 1: and do to him he always does, which is make
- 1:06:01Speaker 1: him suffer. Speaking of suffering, we heard from Wheeler Udah
- 1:06:06Speaker 1: up next. He said that tonight it's gonna hurt him
- 1:06:09Speaker 1: almost as much as it hurts Orange Cassidy, because tonight
- 1:06:12Speaker 1: it's time to trim the fat no losers, which is rich.
- 1:06:18Speaker 1: I mean, that's very rich coming from Wheeler da Speaking
- 1:06:24Speaker 1: of which, we heard from Daniel Garcia next, and Daniel
- 1:06:26Speaker 1: Garcia said that they're going to keep winning as that's
- 1:06:30Speaker 1: what winners do. Yes, that's what winners do. Everybody says
- 1:06:34Speaker 1: the man who had to be within the last couple
- 1:06:37Speaker 1: of months, came out on Dynamite and cut a promo
- 1:06:40Speaker 1: that said, who hasn't beaten Daniel Garcia? I have that
- 1:06:45Speaker 1: as one of the sound bites in my intro to
- 1:06:47Speaker 1: the sound off every week, and this guy's coming out
- 1:06:50Speaker 1: here talking about winners. Yeah, break'd be like having one
- 1:06:56Speaker 1: of the Mets go do an interview on ESPN talking
- 1:06:59Speaker 1: about winners. Go to Cancun, enjoy your vacation. We had
- 1:07:06Speaker 1: the Battle of the Kyles Kyle Fletcher defending his TNT
- 1:07:10Speaker 1: championship against Kyle O'Reilly. You got two good wrestlers out there.
- 1:07:16Speaker 1: They went out there and they had a good wrestling match.
- 1:07:19Speaker 1: No surprise there, no drama either. The action spilled outside
- 1:07:25Speaker 1: pretty quickly. O'Reilly sent Fletcher into a chair that was
- 1:07:29Speaker 1: set up near the barricade. He then delivered a shotgun
- 1:07:32Speaker 1: drop kick from the apron. O'Reilly missed a knee drop
- 1:07:36Speaker 1: from the second rope back inside. Fletcher then sent O'Reilly
- 1:07:40Speaker 1: headfirst into the turnbuckle like a lawn dart. After some reversals,
- 1:07:44Speaker 1: O'Reilly picked the ankle of Fletcher, he tripped him. He
- 1:07:47Speaker 1: delivered a need of the back of the head for
- 1:07:49Speaker 1: a near fall. He applied an ankle lot Fletcher, though,
- 1:07:52Speaker 1: quickly reversed out and landed a brainbuster. Then he followed
- 1:07:55Speaker 1: up with a running kick and a second brainbuster for
- 1:07:58Speaker 1: the wind. That's your condensed version here. So Kyle Fletcher
- 1:08:04Speaker 1: retains the TNT Championship to the surprise of absolutely nobody.
- 1:08:10Speaker 1: And after the match was over, Lance Archer attacked O'Reilly.
- 1:08:14Speaker 1: Mark Briscoe ran out to make the save and at
- 1:08:17Speaker 1: that point Fletcher retreated. The only bad thing to say
- 1:08:21Speaker 1: about this is that O'Reilly obviously had no chance of
- 1:08:24Speaker 1: winning this, so it killed any sort of drama here.
- 1:08:27Speaker 1: So you know, you got some good wrestling from these two.
- 1:08:30Speaker 1: It's like a or whatever. I've seen Kyle Fletcher have
- 1:08:34Speaker 1: better matches. We get great matches on these shows every week.
- 1:08:38Speaker 1: There was really nothing compelling to this. You know, this
- 1:08:41Speaker 1: was a collision match, only it was on Dynamite. Where
- 1:08:45Speaker 1: do you see Kyle O'Reilly most of the time collision?
- 1:08:49Speaker 1: You know what was really said, We had one woman's
- 1:08:52Speaker 1: match on this show tonight. On the poster for Dynamite,
- 1:08:57Speaker 1: they had all these different people right the homecoming Jacksonville
- 1:09:01Speaker 1: all of these different people. One woman on the entire
- 1:09:06Speaker 1: poster Mercedes Monette, which made sense because she was the
- 1:09:11Speaker 1: only match on the show. And then there's the Collision
- 1:09:16Speaker 1: homecoming poster and like all the women are like relegated
- 1:09:19Speaker 1: to is Collision where all the women go? Now? Is
- 1:09:22Speaker 1: that just like the de facto women show? Now? I
- 1:09:26Speaker 1: was amazed, Like, Dynamite is supposed to be your a
- 1:09:28Speaker 1: show and this is your big homecoming and they literally
- 1:09:31Speaker 1: the advertised one woman for the entire show. So after
- 1:09:36Speaker 1: a break, Renee informed Fletcher and Callous in the back
- 1:09:39Speaker 1: that have wrestled Dream it's going to be Mark Briscoe
- 1:09:42Speaker 1: challenging for the TNT championship. So now we know what
- 1:09:45Speaker 1: Mark Briscoe is going to be doing next. He is
- 1:09:47Speaker 1: indeed going for the TNT title. Mercedes Monette, speaking of
- 1:09:53Speaker 1: which she put her TBS championship on the line in
- 1:09:56Speaker 1: an open challenge. The only thing we knew is that
- 1:09:59Speaker 1: she was going to defend her title against someone from
- 1:10:01Speaker 1: the state of Florida that you know, didn't really narrow
- 1:10:05Speaker 1: it down very well. But there was somebody, remember on
- 1:10:09Speaker 1: the stream last week, I said there was somebody who
- 1:10:11Speaker 1: made mention of Lacey Lane, the former Caden Carter, and
- 1:10:17Speaker 1: she had just wrestled recently. I think for Ring of Honor?
- 1:10:21Speaker 1: Might it be her? Well, guess what it turned out
- 1:10:25Speaker 1: to be Lacey Lane, who is from Florida. I think
- 1:10:28Speaker 1: she's from winter Park and it turned out to be her.
- 1:10:31Speaker 1: And they even aired a very quick vignette with her
- 1:10:34Speaker 1: with comments from her before the match started, where she
- 1:10:37Speaker 1: said that her and Mercedes had a chance to cross
- 1:10:40Speaker 1: paths in the past, but they never did. Tonight that
- 1:10:43Speaker 1: changes in her hometown, so there were some early pen
- 1:10:47Speaker 1: attempts from Lacey. Monette floated over in the corner but
- 1:10:50Speaker 1: missed a crossbody. There was a rolling cradle by Lane
- 1:10:54Speaker 1: for another two count until a springing dropkick sent Monette outside.
- 1:10:58Speaker 1: Lane met her with a baseball slide and Monette went
- 1:11:03Speaker 1: to the Apron tried to suit plex to the floor,
- 1:11:04Speaker 1: but she got hung up by Lacey, so Monette gained
- 1:11:08Speaker 1: the advantage. During the commercial break, she planted Lacey with
- 1:11:12Speaker 1: the three amigos before going up top trying a frog splash.
- 1:11:15Speaker 1: Lacey got the knees up Money missed double knees in
- 1:11:19Speaker 1: the corner, which allowed Lacey to hit a running thrust kick,
- 1:11:22Speaker 1: and Monette answered with a lung blower and a sunset
- 1:11:25Speaker 1: bomb for two or a sunset bomb into the buckles.
- 1:11:29Speaker 1: Then she went for the double She loves those double knees.
- 1:11:33Speaker 1: Mercedes loves those meteors, but this one did not pay off.
- 1:11:37Speaker 1: Lacey answered with a springboard leg drop and a hammer
- 1:11:40Speaker 1: locked flatliner for a near fault. Lane wanted the hammer
- 1:11:43Speaker 1: lock again and that was to her downfall because Mercedes scrambled.
- 1:11:48Speaker 1: She traded pen attempts with her, and then she managed
- 1:11:51Speaker 1: a monet maker and she got the wind. You know, look,
- 1:11:54Speaker 1: I thought Lacey looked fine here in this match. I'd
- 1:11:56Speaker 1: like to see her get more opportunities. I think she's
- 1:12:00Speaker 1: certainly a competent wrestler who deserves a shot. I'd like
- 1:12:03Speaker 1: to see what she could do. She could be a
- 1:12:04Speaker 1: solid addition here to the women's division. But I mean again,
- 1:12:07Speaker 1: we do. We knew what this was going to be,
- 1:12:11Speaker 1: and that's what it was. And I can't, for the
- 1:12:14Speaker 1: life of me tell you who I think is going
- 1:12:16Speaker 1: to be lined up next, you know, for Mercedes. But
- 1:12:20Speaker 1: what I can tell you is I believe Friday. I
- 1:12:22Speaker 1: believe we're only a couple days away from her tying
- 1:12:26Speaker 1: and breaking Jade Cargill's record as the longest reigning TBS
- 1:12:30Speaker 1: champion of all time. I think it happens at the
- 1:12:32Speaker 1: end of this week. So we had the aw Tag
- 1:12:36Speaker 1: Team champions Brodie King and Bandido, who had his shoulder
- 1:12:40Speaker 1: all wrapped up because supposedly his shoulder had popped out
- 1:12:45Speaker 1: during a match with Hetchesero in CMLL on Friday night,
- 1:12:51Speaker 1: and inexplicably, Tony Kahan said that he checked with Bendido,
- 1:12:54Speaker 1: and Bendido really wanted a wrestle, so he was going
- 1:12:56Speaker 1: to let him wrestle. Apparently that's all it takes. The
- 1:13:00Speaker 1: wrestler wants to wrestle. It's like, well, gee, golli okay,
- 1:13:02Speaker 1: I guess we'll let him wrestle. So it's like, okay,
- 1:13:06Speaker 1: doesn't seem like a wise move if he really did
- 1:13:08Speaker 1: hurt his shoulder, But all right, I guess the match
- 1:13:11Speaker 1: is still on. So this match here was not for
- 1:13:15Speaker 1: the aw Tag Team titles, but they wrestled Kazuska Okada
- 1:13:18Speaker 1: and Kenoski Takeshta, and this was a double jeopardy eliminator.
- 1:13:23Speaker 1: If Bandido and Brody won the match, the winner of
- 1:13:27Speaker 1: the match. Whoever got the winning fall would challenge Okada
- 1:13:31Speaker 1: for the Unified Championship at Wressel Dream. If Okada and
- 1:13:34Speaker 1: Takeshta won the match, they will get a tag team
- 1:13:37Speaker 1: I swear to God, I'm gonna kill you. They would
- 1:13:39Speaker 1: get a tag team Championship match at Wrestle Dream against Broddo.
- 1:13:44Speaker 1: So those were the rules here, Okay, those were the
- 1:13:46Speaker 1: rules for this match. Takeshta is posing on stage. He
- 1:13:50Speaker 1: got cut off by Okada, who walked out and just
- 1:13:53Speaker 1: blew right past him, already stealing his thunder here in
- 1:13:56Speaker 1: this match, Takesha went right after Bandido's bad arm. King tagged,
- 1:14:01Speaker 1: then he laid out Okada with a running sent on
- 1:14:04Speaker 1: before I lightened him up with chops. We got a
- 1:14:06Speaker 1: huge splash in the corner that led to Okada dodging
- 1:14:10Speaker 1: a second one and Takeshta deck Brody with a big
- 1:14:13Speaker 1: boot and a DDT on the apron, and for good measure,
- 1:14:16Speaker 1: Okada hit a DDT of his own, and they went
- 1:14:19Speaker 1: to a break. Okada and Takeshta were nose to nose. Okay,
- 1:14:22Speaker 1: they were going face to face these two. King was
- 1:14:26Speaker 1: worn down the entire break. They come back though, with
- 1:14:29Speaker 1: King firing off some desperation back suplexes on both heels
- 1:14:33Speaker 1: mowed them both down with a lariat. Bandida recovered enough
- 1:14:37Speaker 1: to make the hot tag. We got a springboard cross
- 1:14:40Speaker 1: body to Okada that led to a series of pin attempts.
- 1:14:44Speaker 1: Okada slowed the momentum a little bit. Bandido, though still
- 1:14:47Speaker 1: planted him with a stalling suplex, and King sent Ta
- 1:14:50Speaker 1: Keshta packing. Okada was spiked by a running pk into
- 1:14:53Speaker 1: Dante's inferno. Takeshta, though narrowly made the save and takesh
- 1:15:00Speaker 1: got ping pong with some four arm strikes until Brody
- 1:15:03Speaker 1: laid him out with a black hole slam. So Brodido
- 1:15:06Speaker 1: was signaling for their monkey flip four fifty, Okada put
- 1:15:09Speaker 1: a stop to that. Bandido counted a raging fire into
- 1:15:12Speaker 1: an inside cradle. Takesha was up and he went for
- 1:15:17Speaker 1: another charging knee, but he caught Okada on the apron instead,
- 1:15:22Speaker 1: and Bandido, he with one arm, still hit the X
- 1:15:27Speaker 1: knee and then went for the twenty one plex. He
- 1:15:30Speaker 1: couldn't hit it properly though, just with the one arm,
- 1:15:33Speaker 1: and that day gave Takesha a chance to hit a
- 1:15:36Speaker 1: poison Rana and as Takeshta wanted the power drive knee,
- 1:15:40Speaker 1: Okada stole the tag and he turned Bandido inside out
- 1:15:45Speaker 1: with one rain Makers all it took and he got
- 1:15:48Speaker 1: the pin to win the match for the Kallis Family,
- 1:15:51Speaker 1: which means that at Wrestle Dream it will be Okada
- 1:15:54Speaker 1: and Takeshta challenging for the aw Tag Team Championships against
- 1:16:00Speaker 1: Brody King and Bandido. So the tension continues to build
- 1:16:04Speaker 1: between Okada and Takeshta. They're doing the slow burn, and
- 1:16:07Speaker 1: I hope the reason for that is that they're waiting
- 1:16:09Speaker 1: and they're waiting, and they're waiting for the Continental Classic,
- 1:16:14Speaker 1: which is not that far away. I mean normally the
- 1:16:16Speaker 1: Continental Classic will start in about five or six weeks,
- 1:16:20Speaker 1: right right th like mid November, maybe like right after
- 1:16:24Speaker 1: Full Gear, And it just makes all the sense in
- 1:16:27Speaker 1: the world to me to have, as predictable as it
- 1:16:29Speaker 1: may be, it makes all the sense in the world
- 1:16:31Speaker 1: story wise to build to that tournament. And you have
- 1:16:35Speaker 1: the two of them butt heads in the finals, and
- 1:16:38Speaker 1: that's where Takesha gets that win over Okada, So you
- 1:16:42Speaker 1: might even be able to give them a quick tag
- 1:16:44Speaker 1: team title run here. I mean it would have to
- 1:16:47Speaker 1: be awfully quick if the idea would be to get
- 1:16:49Speaker 1: the belts off then before then, So I don't know
- 1:16:52Speaker 1: if that's something they want to do. I wouldn't mind
- 1:16:55Speaker 1: seeing Okada and Takesha have even a short run as
- 1:16:58Speaker 1: the tag team champions. And if Bandido really is legitimately injured,
- 1:17:04Speaker 1: and I mean, he certainly didn't look like outside of
- 1:17:07Speaker 1: what he was selling. He didn't look like somebody who
- 1:17:08Speaker 1: was too terribly injured here in this match. I mean,
- 1:17:10Speaker 1: he looked fine. But if let's say it's a legitimate
- 1:17:13Speaker 1: injury and they did want to give him a little
- 1:17:15Speaker 1: bit of time off, all the more reason to do
- 1:17:17Speaker 1: a title change, you know, on that show, I'm not
- 1:17:21Speaker 1: necessarily convinced though, that the injury is legit now. Renee
- 1:17:24Speaker 1: was in the back a little bit later on with
- 1:17:26Speaker 1: the tag Jams, and Bendido was very dejected. He didn't
- 1:17:30Speaker 1: want to make any excuses for what happened. He blamed himself,
- 1:17:34Speaker 1: and King said he's always told him to never stop
- 1:17:36Speaker 1: fighting and come wrestling. Dream It doesn't matter if they
- 1:17:40Speaker 1: have two of the best wrestlers in the business in
- 1:17:42Speaker 1: the ring with them. Bandido, he'dn't name him. He said,
- 1:17:46Speaker 1: Brodido has the best wrestler, implying Bandido obviously he's the
- 1:17:50Speaker 1: best wrestler, and they will stand tall at the pay
- 1:17:54Speaker 1: per view. So again, I don't know if the injury
- 1:17:57Speaker 1: is legit. I feel like it is, but I was
- 1:18:00Speaker 1: watching this and it fit well enough into the story
- 1:18:03Speaker 1: of the match, or I started to wonder if maybe
- 1:18:06Speaker 1: the whole shoulder popping out thing was legit. Whether it
- 1:18:11Speaker 1: is or not, evidently he's not going to miss any time.
- 1:18:15Speaker 1: You know. He did the match tonight and they're going
- 1:18:18Speaker 1: to defend the titles a wrestle dream, and what we
- 1:18:20Speaker 1: got tonight was just a taste of what these guys
- 1:18:22Speaker 1: can do. So I enjoyed this match. This was, you know,
- 1:18:26Speaker 1: a very good match, but it's not the match we're
- 1:18:29Speaker 1: going to see a wrestle dream. You know. This was
- 1:18:32Speaker 1: a small percentage of what they're going to go out
- 1:18:34Speaker 1: there and do a wrestle dream. So I'm looking forward
- 1:18:36Speaker 1: to that. This week's episode is sponsored by Express VPN.
- 1:18:41Speaker 1: You probably browsed an incognito mode before most of us have,
- 1:18:45Speaker 1: but incognito may not be entirely true. In fact, Google
- 1:18:50Speaker 1: recently settled a five to a billion with a b
- 1:18:53Speaker 1: dollar lawsuit after being accused of secretly tracking users in
- 1:18:56Speaker 1: incognito mode, and what was Google's defense. Incognito does not
- 1:19:01Speaker 1: mean invisible. All of your online activity is still one
- 1:19:04Speaker 1: hundred percent visible to a ton of third parties. That is,
- 1:19:08Speaker 1: unless you use ExpressVPN. So here's the deal. Without ExpressVPN,
- 1:19:13Speaker 1: these third parties can still see every website you visit
- 1:19:16Speaker 1: even in incognito mode. That includes your Internet service provider,
- 1:19:19Speaker 1: your mobile network provider, even your employer potentially if you're
- 1:19:23Speaker 1: browsing your work on their Wi Fi network. ExpressVPN reroutes
- 1:19:26Speaker 1: one hundred percent of your traffic through secure, encrypted servers,
- 1:19:30Speaker 1: so third parties can't see your browsing history. ExpressVPN is
- 1:19:34Speaker 1: the best VPN because it hides your IP address, making
- 1:19:37Speaker 1: it extremely difficult for third parties to track your online activity.

- 1:20:03Speaker 1: different in your hotel room or at the airport. There's

- 1:20:59Speaker 1: first mat since April was pack against Orange Cassidy, his
- 1:21:03Speaker 1: old rival. They've had many matches back in the day
- 1:21:07Speaker 1: that Pack comes out here and I said it was
- 1:21:09Speaker 1: weird enough seeing Pack with the shorter hair and wearing
- 1:21:14Speaker 1: a shirt, because that's very unlike him. Well now he's
- 1:21:19Speaker 1: coming out and he's got the shorter haircut, but he's
- 1:21:22Speaker 1: wearing a singlet and he's in phenomenal shape. I mean,
- 1:21:26Speaker 1: it's not like he's trying to cover up his body
- 1:21:28Speaker 1: because he's not in great physical condition, you know, like
- 1:21:32Speaker 1: fucking macho man. When he started wearing the tops back
- 1:21:35Speaker 1: in the day, he wasn't you know, he wasn't doing
- 1:21:37Speaker 1: what he used to be doing, so his physique took
- 1:21:39Speaker 1: a hit, so he had to dress up differently. Pack
- 1:21:42Speaker 1: is in phenomenal shape, but now he's elected to wears
- 1:21:45Speaker 1: like Christopher Daniels. He's wearing this singlet now, so he
- 1:21:49Speaker 1: looks like a totally different person. But Pack slowly took
- 1:21:54Speaker 1: his time. He was rag dolling Cassidy, who tried the
- 1:21:57Speaker 1: little kicks, the weak kicks. Pack that wasn't having any
- 1:22:01Speaker 1: of that. So they ended up outside where Pack caught
- 1:22:03Speaker 1: Cassidy mid dive into a falcon arrow on the floor.
- 1:22:08Speaker 1: So they went to a commercial break and Pack connected
- 1:22:12Speaker 1: with a huge drop kick out of the corner, started
- 1:22:15Speaker 1: toying with Cassidy, who started to slowly fire up and
- 1:22:19Speaker 1: he was absorbing some shots. Cassidy tried beach break Pack
- 1:22:24Speaker 1: escaped Cassidy, though connected with a PK, sending pack outside again.
- 1:22:29Speaker 1: Cassidy tried his toepay ddt pack though caught him. Only
- 1:22:33Speaker 1: this time Cassidy countered into a stundug millionaire third times
- 1:22:37Speaker 1: a charm. He goes for his toepay ddt and he
- 1:22:40Speaker 1: spikes pack on the floor, so he plays pack on
- 1:22:46Speaker 1: the timekeeper's table. Cassidy goes back to the ring. He
- 1:22:50Speaker 1: climbs up to the top rope. He puts his hands
- 1:22:52Speaker 1: in his pockets and he goes diving off, hands in pockets,
- 1:22:56Speaker 1: and he crashes through the table, which was a hell
- 1:23:00Speaker 1: of a spot there. I mean, that's got to be
- 1:23:03Speaker 1: unnerving though, you know, like just naturally you want your
- 1:23:06Speaker 1: hands out to brace your fall. Now, imagine you're standing
- 1:23:10Speaker 1: up there and you put your hands in your pockets
- 1:23:13Speaker 1: and then you just dive off, and you're hoping that
- 1:23:16Speaker 1: you can position your body in such a way where
- 1:23:19Speaker 1: you don't have your hands to brace your fall. So
- 1:23:21Speaker 1: you're basically relying on your shoulder and the person you're
- 1:23:25Speaker 1: landing on to break your fall and not break your
- 1:23:28Speaker 1: fucking shoulder. It's a little bit scary, but he put
- 1:23:33Speaker 1: them to the table. So back inside a spinning DDT
- 1:23:35Speaker 1: planted Pack, Cassidy kipped up and then he waffled him
- 1:23:39Speaker 1: with the orange punch. Packed thou got his foot on
- 1:23:42Speaker 1: the rope. Before the referee could count three, Cassidy went
- 1:23:45Speaker 1: up top. Packed though, took a page out of Cassidy's
- 1:23:47Speaker 1: playbook and he slow rolled to the other side of
- 1:23:50Speaker 1: the ring to avoid the move. He rolled out onto
- 1:23:52Speaker 1: the stage. Cassidy went after Pack into the crowd. Packed
- 1:23:57Speaker 1: those suckered him in and gave him a tombstone poeile driver.
- 1:24:01Speaker 1: And they're in the crowd right, you know, if you
- 1:24:03Speaker 1: know Daly's place, it's like that little crowd. It's not
- 1:24:07Speaker 1: like a lot of people, but game a tombstone pile
- 1:24:09Speaker 1: driver over there. The Bryce Remsburg rushed out to go
- 1:24:13Speaker 1: check on Cassidy and Pack ordered him back to the
- 1:24:16Speaker 1: ring to go put the count on him. I don't
- 1:24:19Speaker 1: know why Bryce's voice at this point when he spoke,
- 1:24:23Speaker 1: it made him sound like a muppet. I don't know why.
- 1:24:27Speaker 1: I mean, maybe that's how he always sounds. So anyway,
- 1:24:32Speaker 1: his attention is diverted and Pack is standing there, and
- 1:24:36Speaker 1: Pack finds that his ankle is suddenly cuffed to the
- 1:24:42Speaker 1: railing over there. And then if you look down below
- 1:24:47Speaker 1: is Darby Allen. You can see the face paint. So
- 1:24:51Speaker 1: Darby Allen has handcuffed I mean, I guess a footcuffed
- 1:24:57Speaker 1: Pack here to this railing. So he's trying to free
- 1:24:59Speaker 1: him so that he can get back into the ring
- 1:25:01Speaker 1: before the referee, you know, hits the ten count, and
- 1:25:05Speaker 1: the referee gets up to account of about seven or so,
- 1:25:09Speaker 1: and he frees himself. Yes, he broke free from the
- 1:25:12Speaker 1: cuffs like he's Jacob Fatu at SummerSlam. And that was
- 1:25:16Speaker 1: pretty dumb too, the way that whole thing played out.
- 1:25:19Speaker 1: But he dove back into the ring at the count
- 1:25:21Speaker 1: of nine, barely made it back in. But when he
- 1:25:23Speaker 1: rolled in, he rolled right into a cazadora pinning combination
- 1:25:28Speaker 1: by Orange Cassidy who got the three and he beats Pack.
- 1:25:34Speaker 1: So after the match is over, Darby Allen is now
- 1:25:36Speaker 1: he's staring Pack down. He's on the stage and he's
- 1:25:40Speaker 1: staring this man down, and Pack obviously is not happy
- 1:25:44Speaker 1: about Darby costing him the match, so he goes out
- 1:25:48Speaker 1: after he sprints towards Darby, and Darby is ready, and
- 1:25:53Speaker 1: Darby has pepper spray, so he blinds Pack with the
- 1:25:59Speaker 1: pepper spray, and then Wheeler Das shows up, and so
- 1:26:04Speaker 1: what does Darby do? He pulls out a taser. So
- 1:26:08Speaker 1: now we have pepper spray, we have a taser. John Moxley,
- 1:26:12Speaker 1: Claudio Daniel Garcia, Marina Shaffir. They hit ringside, they're trying
- 1:26:17Speaker 1: to chase after Darby, but Darby is ready. Darby has
- 1:26:23Speaker 1: a bottle and a little towel or rag or whatever
- 1:26:27Speaker 1: the hell was in it, and he's got a lighter
- 1:26:31Speaker 1: and he is about to light this thing up and
- 1:26:34Speaker 1: create a Molotov cocktail. Pepper spray, right, pepper spray, taser,
- 1:26:44Speaker 1: Molotov cocktail. I feel like I'm playing a video game here.
- 1:26:48Speaker 1: This is completely ridiculous. I mean, it's Darby Allen, so
- 1:26:52Speaker 1: of course it's going to be ridiculous. But he is
- 1:26:55Speaker 1: about to set this thing ablaze, and all of a sudden,
- 1:26:59Speaker 1: right this security I'm not even gonna call them a
- 1:27:03Speaker 1: security geek. I will never call them security geeks again
- 1:27:06Speaker 1: if they act like this guy. This security guard comes
- 1:27:11Speaker 1: diving in out of nowhere and he tackles Darby to
- 1:27:15Speaker 1: the ground before he could set fire to this thing
- 1:27:17Speaker 1: and light it up the Molotov cocktail, like he actually
- 1:27:21Speaker 1: did his job. It's like fucking secret Service agent diving
- 1:27:26Speaker 1: and taking this man down to the ground. And then
- 1:27:28Speaker 1: the other security guards are holding back the members of
- 1:27:31Speaker 1: the Death Riders, and the show ended with Darby laughing
- 1:27:34Speaker 1: maniacally as he was being detained. The main event itself
- 1:27:41Speaker 1: was good. It was a good match that they had.
- 1:27:43Speaker 1: The stuff that came after was very goofy, you know again,
- 1:27:47Speaker 1: the pepper spray and taser and the Molotov cocktail, and
- 1:27:50Speaker 1: you could just I could just imagine what this I
- 1:27:53Speaker 1: Quit match is going to look like at Wrestler Dream.
- 1:27:56Speaker 1: We saw the match, they had it all out. What
- 1:28:00Speaker 1: the fuck do you think they're gonna do it Wrestle Dream.
- 1:28:04Speaker 1: If he's already bringing out weapons like this here on
- 1:28:07Speaker 1: this show, I mean, that match is going to be ridiculous,
- 1:28:11Speaker 1: but it's gonna be ridiculous in the worst possible way.
- 1:28:15Speaker 1: So this was all very silly here at the end,
- 1:28:18Speaker 1: But you know, again, we got three pretty you know,
- 1:28:21Speaker 1: pretty good matches here on this show, and the opening segment.
- 1:28:26Speaker 1: I thought the opening segment was good, but again, you know,
- 1:28:28Speaker 1: pretty basic stuff as far as how we got here
- 1:28:32Speaker 1: with Hangman and Joe, you know, that being the main event,
- 1:28:35Speaker 1: that being the big title match coming up, a wrestle dream,
- 1:28:38Speaker 1: and then there was a bunch of stuff on the
- 1:28:40Speaker 1: show that was it was okay, but I didn't really
- 1:28:42Speaker 1: care much about it, So a bit of a mixed bag,
- 1:28:45Speaker 1: but on the whole, it was a good show. Bull
- 1:28:47Speaker 1: shows tonight were good. Again, I prefer the NXT show
- 1:28:49Speaker 1: a little bit more, but I thought both shows were good.
- 1:28:52Speaker 1: I got polls up for both shows. So let's take
- 1:28:56Speaker 1: a look at the NXT one first, what did you
- 1:28:59Speaker 1: think of NXT showdown with TNA Seventy four point three
- 1:29:06Speaker 1: percent thumbs up, twenty five point seven percent thumbs down,
- 1:29:11Speaker 1: So seventy four to twenty five that is the score
- 1:29:15Speaker 1: for the NXT show. Let's take a look now at
- 1:29:17Speaker 1: the AW poll. What did you think of Dynamite Title Tuesday?
- 1:29:22Speaker 1: Forty five percent thumbs up, fifty five percent thumbs down,
- 1:29:28Speaker 1: so a very different score. Obviously, the NXTTNA show wins
- 1:29:34Speaker 1: the night here at least as far as these polls
- 1:29:36Speaker 1: are concerned. But that's X. Those are the X poles,
- 1:29:47Speaker 1: you know how that goes? All right, let's get to
- 1:29:51Speaker 1: your superchats. We are at three hundred and where are
- 1:29:57Speaker 1: we at three hundred and seventy three likes? We got
- 1:30:01Speaker 1: to get to a minimum four hundred. Here someone is
- 1:30:09Speaker 1: quitting while on fire. Yeah, there have been plenty of
- 1:30:13Speaker 1: teases about fire, so I think it's the same. That's
- 1:30:18Speaker 1: why I thought they were gonna have like an inferno
- 1:30:19Speaker 1: match or something. So I think it's a safe bet
- 1:30:23Speaker 1: that somebody is going to be set on fire, or
- 1:30:27Speaker 1: at least that's gonna be the threat. All right, let's
- 1:30:34Speaker 1: go through these superchats here. We're starting out with death Scythe.
- 1:30:40Speaker 1: Look that death Scythe actually beat Joseph to the punch
- 1:30:43Speaker 1: tonight as the first superchatter. It's got a bunch of
- 1:30:45Speaker 1: messages here said, I liked your jealousy idea for a
- 1:30:52Speaker 1: Roman Jacob match, and I was thinking at the Royal
- 1:30:56Speaker 1: Rumble fought two eliminates Roman and then Roman is livid.
- 1:31:00Speaker 1: He pulls a hogan, He grabspot too and then Jacob
- 1:31:03Speaker 1: is dumped out by the winner of the Royal Rumble,
- 1:31:07Speaker 1: so Roman reigns ends up being a big whiny baby.
- 1:31:13Speaker 1: I mean if he allows his emotions to get the
- 1:31:16Speaker 1: better of him, sure, he says. Then at the elimination chamber,
- 1:31:20Speaker 1: Jacob is about to win the chamber, but Roman pulls
- 1:31:22Speaker 1: a Shawn Michaels and costs him the match. Then Jacob
- 1:31:26Speaker 1: challenges Roman to a match of WrestleMania. Roman refuses and says,
- 1:31:31Speaker 1: as you say, Jacob, let's keep it a hundred. Actually
- 1:31:36Speaker 1: that he says it a little bit differently, Let's keep
- 1:31:40Speaker 1: it a hundred. Your le mama ululi ole Aiga, the
- 1:31:52Speaker 1: black sheep of the family. How do you know that
- 1:31:57Speaker 1: the stain on our dynasty, the heart wrought on our
- 1:32:00Speaker 1: family tree, and Sammy's aye is more Anawaii than you
- 1:32:04Speaker 1: will ever be. So fa tu has to be random
- 1:32:09Speaker 1: bloodline members? Oh God, as if we haven't done this before?
- 1:32:12Speaker 1: And once Roman agrees, and he then gives fat to
- 1:32:15Speaker 1: his own version of the look at You Now segments
- 1:32:19Speaker 1: to get heat. H it's not a bad idea. I mean,
- 1:32:24Speaker 1: the way you've set it up here, it's not bad.
- 1:32:27Speaker 1: That's why I said, like, if I had to construct
- 1:32:30Speaker 1: a story of how do we get there? How do
- 1:32:32Speaker 1: we get these two men in a WrestleMania match? I think,
- 1:32:36Speaker 1: you know, it should stem from some sort of jealousy
- 1:32:41Speaker 1: on the part of Roman Reigns. And you know, if
- 1:32:45Speaker 1: anybody is going to be a heel or more heelish
- 1:32:47Speaker 1: going into that match, that should be Roman, not Jacob.
- 1:32:51Speaker 1: So I mean that idea could work. Joseph Stewart, I
- 1:32:59Speaker 1: really hope I'll be able to start a Batman podcast
- 1:33:02Speaker 1: one day. What are the I think would be great
- 1:33:04Speaker 1: at it? Joseph, You've already got the number one thing
- 1:33:07Speaker 1: is having a passion for something you obviously already have that.
- 1:33:13Speaker 1: I really hope I'll be able to start a Batman
- 1:33:16Speaker 1: podcast one day. What are the steps to start a
- 1:33:18Speaker 1: podcast and any advice on how to do a podcast? Well,
- 1:33:23Speaker 1: like I said, you need to have a passion for
- 1:33:25Speaker 1: what you're talking about, and not just one time, but
- 1:33:30Speaker 1: you know, if you're gonna do it on a weekly
- 1:33:31Speaker 1: basis or multiple times a week, you have to be
- 1:33:35Speaker 1: able to throw yourself into it. You know, it's hard
- 1:33:40Speaker 1: to do that if you're talking about something that you
- 1:33:42Speaker 1: don't really care about. So you've already got that down.
- 1:33:46Speaker 1: Consistency is very important, though. It has to be something
- 1:33:49Speaker 1: that you know you're gonna do on a regular basis
- 1:33:51Speaker 1: if you really want to build an audience. It's the
- 1:33:53Speaker 1: only way. It's the only way. If you're very you know,
- 1:33:56Speaker 1: off and on hit or miss. You do one, you
- 1:33:59Speaker 1: miss two weeks, you're gonna fail. It's not gonna work.
- 1:34:02Speaker 1: So that's a very important aspect that some people don't
- 1:34:06Speaker 1: think about. It's a time commitment, you know, and if
- 1:34:10Speaker 1: you're not willing to put the time into it, then
- 1:34:12Speaker 1: you shouldn't be doing it. But you don't really have
- 1:34:16Speaker 1: to break the bank on equipment. I mean, you could
- 1:34:18Speaker 1: start out, you know, with like a basic USB microphone.
- 1:34:21Speaker 1: You don't even have to be on camera. It's very
- 1:34:25Speaker 1: easy to start, you know. It's harder to build an
- 1:34:29Speaker 1: audience and find your voice and be successful at it.
- 1:34:39Speaker 1: Have you seen the unreleased Fantastic Four movie from nineteen
- 1:34:42Speaker 1: ninety four, directed by Roger Korman? No, No, I have
- 1:34:49Speaker 1: not buy or sell the Fantastic Four or The X Men.
- 1:34:55Speaker 1: The x Men thinking about making a comic book series
- 1:34:59Speaker 1: of domin Mysterio as the hero and uncle Howdy as
- 1:35:02Speaker 1: the villain and Live Morgan as Dom's love interest. I
- 1:35:08Speaker 1: think that sounds like an interesting idea. Have you done
- 1:35:13Speaker 1: comics before? Do you think we will get a Dominic
- 1:35:17Speaker 1: mysterio versus Uncle Howdy match down the road? I don't.
- 1:35:22Speaker 1: I don't. I mean, they're not even on the same
- 1:35:26Speaker 1: brand right now. If you were asked to cast Harley
- 1:35:31Speaker 1: Quinn in a brand new Tim Burton Batman movie in
- 1:35:36Speaker 1: the nineties, who would you cast as Harley Quinn at
- 1:35:39Speaker 1: the time? Brother, I don't even remember who all of
- 1:35:42Speaker 1: the famous actresses were back in the nineties outside of
- 1:35:45Speaker 1: a handful. I thought you were gonna say, now, I
- 1:35:49Speaker 1: would say Live. I think Live Morgan could play a
- 1:35:51Speaker 1: good Harley Quinn. But back then, Live Morgan was was
- 1:35:55Speaker 1: Liv Morgan alive? Back then? My god? Was liv Morgan
- 1:35:59Speaker 1: even alive back in the nineties? Yeah? She was right?
- 1:36:04Speaker 1: But when would she have been born? She was probably
- 1:36:05Speaker 1: born in the late nineties. What is she twenty eight,
- 1:36:11Speaker 1: twenty eight, twenty nine. Yeah, he's probably born around ninety six,
- 1:36:16Speaker 1: ninety seven. Harley Cameron as Harley Quinn now, Pamela Anderson,
- 1:36:30Speaker 1: I don't think that's a good I don't think that's
- 1:36:31Speaker 1: good casting for that role. Yeah, I would say Alexibliss,
- 1:36:39Speaker 1: but I'm pretty sure Alexa Bliss was probably like six
- 1:36:41Speaker 1: years old back then. So you want to have a
- 1:36:45Speaker 1: young Harley Quinn. I guess that could work. Have you
- 1:36:49Speaker 1: seen the Sylvester Stallone movie Judge Dredd? No? Never saw it,
- 1:36:55Speaker 1: Believe it or not. I never saw Judge Dredd, never
- 1:36:57Speaker 1: saw Demolition Man. Do you remember Batman villain Killer Croc? Yes?
- 1:37:02Speaker 1: I do. I think they could have swapped out Baine
- 1:37:08Speaker 1: in Batman and Robin for Killer Croc if they wanted to.
- 1:37:14Speaker 1: Do you think Jacob fought Too will have a career
- 1:37:16Speaker 1: as an actor in Hollywood? I don't. I think some
- 1:37:22Speaker 1: people are sort of destined to do that. I don't know.
- 1:37:26Speaker 1: I don't see that in his future. Do you remember
- 1:37:32Speaker 1: Batman villain the Mad Hatter? I do remember him, Yes,
- 1:37:38Speaker 1: I do. Kind of reminded me of that guy from
- 1:37:42Speaker 1: Willy Wonka. Are you going to see the Rocks new movie?
- 1:37:47Speaker 1: I am not, Victor. Do you consider mister Backland's Heel
- 1:37:54Speaker 1: Run underrated? I don't. I don't think underrated is the
- 1:38:02Speaker 1: right word for it. I think not enough people know
- 1:38:06Speaker 1: about it, But I think the people who watched it
- 1:38:10Speaker 1: and lived through it, I think they rate it pretty highly,
- 1:38:15Speaker 1: So I don't know if underrated is really the right
- 1:38:17Speaker 1: word for it. Victor says, buy or sell Rick Flair
- 1:38:28Speaker 1: eighties or Shawn Michael's nineties, Rick Flair eighties and top
- 1:38:40Speaker 1: five best and worst years of the WWE product. I
- 1:38:44Speaker 1: don't know about top five, but nineteen ninety five is
- 1:38:49Speaker 1: if it's not the worst, it's definitely in the bottom tier.
- 1:38:55Speaker 1: There was some good stuff, but not nearly enough good stuff.
- 1:38:59Speaker 1: And then also I love like twenty eighteen. I mean,
- 1:39:03Speaker 1: there were some years in that late twenty tens period
- 1:39:06Speaker 1: where it got it got pretty bad in terms of
- 1:39:15Speaker 1: best though. I mean to me, honestly, you know, obviously
- 1:39:19Speaker 1: the golden era, right you think of the golden era,
- 1:39:21Speaker 1: you think of the late eighties, nineteen ninety seven is
- 1:39:26Speaker 1: probably it's ninety seven and two thousand, I think, or
- 1:39:28Speaker 1: two of the top years in the history of the company.
- 1:39:31Speaker 1: Ninety seven was a very pivotal, like turning point year,
- 1:39:38Speaker 1: and if you go back and watch the product from
- 1:39:40Speaker 1: ninety seven, especially what was going on at the top
- 1:39:43Speaker 1: of the card, I don't think anything right now compares
- 1:39:48Speaker 1: to what was going on back then, like, I'm sorry,
- 1:39:55Speaker 1: nothing compares to it. Death Side says also, I was
- 1:40:02Speaker 1: thinking at either Raw in Boston or MSG, John Cena
- 1:40:06Speaker 1: could call out Jacob Fatu at the start of the show,
- 1:40:10Speaker 1: after all, he name dropped him during his program with
- 1:40:13Speaker 1: Logan Paul. Yeah, but I don't see why John Cena
- 1:40:17Speaker 1: would call anybody out. Johnsen has made it very clear
- 1:40:19Speaker 1: he doesn't lobby for opponents, and he's never lobbied for
- 1:40:22Speaker 1: one in character on TV either, So he's just gonna
- 1:40:26Speaker 1: randomly come out and say, Jacob Fatu, I want you.
- 1:40:31Speaker 1: It just doesn't make sense, Like the setup to that
- 1:40:33Speaker 1: doesn't really make sense, he says, as someone who wants
- 1:40:37Speaker 1: as someone he wanted to wrestle. Jacob accepts, and in
- 1:40:40Speaker 1: the main event of the show, towards the end of
- 1:40:41Speaker 1: the match, there's a referee bump fat two has seen
- 1:40:44Speaker 1: it down for the three count. Then Drew lays out
- 1:40:46Speaker 1: fa two and drags Seena's unconscious body on top of
- 1:40:51Speaker 1: Jacob for the referee to count the three on Jacob.
- 1:40:56Speaker 1: I see what you're trying to do there, but I
- 1:40:58Speaker 1: just I'm not a fan of that's set up. I
- 1:41:01Speaker 1: just don't think it works. I think it just I
- 1:41:02Speaker 1: wouldn't loop Scena into that. I wouldn't loop scene into
- 1:41:08Speaker 1: that Super Mario, Galaxy, Sonic Four, Avengers, Secret Wars, and
- 1:41:15Speaker 1: the Legend of Zelda movies are all coming out in
- 1:41:18Speaker 1: twenty twenty seven. Can we just skip twenty twenty six, please,
- 1:41:30Speaker 1: so you could tell that you grew up in an
- 1:41:32Speaker 1: era with like the best video games, because how many
- 1:41:37Speaker 1: years has it been since those first games came out?
- 1:41:40Speaker 1: And they're still they're making movies about them. They're making
- 1:41:44Speaker 1: a Legend of Zelda movie GMB with the four ninety
- 1:41:55Speaker 1: nine solo. I know you've been wanting a Bianca heel run. However,
- 1:41:59Speaker 1: I get the vibe that she is against it. Lastly,
- 1:42:02Speaker 1: even noted this on a podcast last year. What are
- 1:42:06Speaker 1: your thoughts. She may well be against it. You know,
- 1:42:10Speaker 1: it may be something that she doesn't want to do.
- 1:42:11Speaker 1: I have never heard her explicitly say that, though, but
- 1:42:17Speaker 1: it's it's possible. I still feel like she's got a
- 1:42:22Speaker 1: really good heel run in here. She doesn't want to
- 1:42:24Speaker 1: do it. She doesn't want to do it, but I
- 1:42:29Speaker 1: hope she does at some point. Bobert reviews with the
- 1:42:36Speaker 1: sixty nine dollars. Thank you, Bobert. I appreciate that. Terrence
- 1:42:44Speaker 1: Thompson shout out from Akron, love the show. Shout out
- 1:42:48Speaker 1: to Terrence, shout out to Akron. Got an email from
- 1:42:54Speaker 1: somebody in Akron a few months ago, so you're not
- 1:42:57Speaker 1: the only SoundOff fan in Akron. Brandon Proctor with the
- 1:43:04Speaker 1: Fifteen Brothers solo Oscar is not happy. Yeah, I don't
- 1:43:09Speaker 1: know why. Maybe the old school elimination match is happening
- 1:43:12Speaker 1: in NXT is a sign that we might get more
- 1:43:14Speaker 1: eventually on the main roster. Now, I think it's just sewn.
- 1:43:18Speaker 1: Michael's doing his own thing. But you know, maybe maybe
- 1:43:23Speaker 1: Triple H sees it. Maybe you know, he'll he'll resurrect it.
- 1:43:28Speaker 1: You know, he can have one for the men and
- 1:43:29Speaker 1: one for the women. It's always possible. We got super
- 1:43:39Speaker 1: hot vector men. If AW and TNA do compete, who
- 1:43:43Speaker 1: would win in the end? Ae W and TNA AW
- 1:43:50Speaker 1: their roster their bench is much deeper than TNA's got
- 1:43:56Speaker 1: some of the best wrestlers in the world in that company.
- 1:43:59Speaker 1: Mister Rod that the five had a friend of mine
- 1:44:01Speaker 1: say last week. The don Kallis family has become the
- 1:44:04Speaker 1: AW version of the nWo. I strongly agree, well, except
- 1:44:10Speaker 1: the nWo made money, so it's big difference there. The
- 1:44:17Speaker 1: Mount Vernon kid Christopher Bennett. If you guys doubted the Hardys,
- 1:44:23Speaker 1: you're a fool. I said coming into the show they
- 1:44:25Speaker 1: were going to win those belts. I never doubted they
- 1:44:27Speaker 1: were going to win. Mister Rod says, First off, happy
- 1:44:35Speaker 1: belated birthday, hope, it was great. Second page against Ali
- 1:44:39Speaker 1: was what they call cinema amazing match. It was the
- 1:44:45Speaker 1: match of the night, match of the night on either show.
- 1:44:49Speaker 1: Right there, we got Boots with the ten. WWE's YouTube
- 1:44:54Speaker 1: channel uploaded a five minute, thirty second video of nothing
- 1:44:58Speaker 1: but Stephanie Vicaire's Devil's Kiss. Took me twenty two minutes
- 1:45:03Speaker 1: to watch it because I was watching it in zero
- 1:45:05Speaker 1: point two five speed for research purposes. I see Boots
- 1:45:15Speaker 1: really had himself a free day today. I wish I
- 1:45:19Speaker 1: had a free day like that, not this week, I
- 1:45:22Speaker 1: don't Sidrow. Sidrow says, why was the putting sad and
- 1:45:33Speaker 1: half his old self because his parents divorced and got split?
- 1:45:38Speaker 1: Custard d Now, what do you call a woman that
- 1:45:47Speaker 1: sets her taxes on fire? Bernadette heard that one on
- 1:45:54Speaker 1: TNT a couple of weeks ago. Very clever. It is
- 1:45:57Speaker 1: a clever one, but I have heard that one for
- 1:46:04Speaker 1: Sedro says, you would think finding your lost luggage in
- 1:46:09Speaker 1: an airport would be easy. That's not the case. And
- 1:46:16Speaker 1: the doctor said I need to replace my spine. I
- 1:46:19Speaker 1: was set to get one, but later the doctor found
- 1:46:21Speaker 1: that all spines are on permanent back order. Cedro says,
- 1:46:31Speaker 1: what do you get if you cross a tree and
- 1:46:33Speaker 1: a dog? God? Lots of bark? And did you hear
- 1:46:43Speaker 1: about the testicular cancer survivor who won the lottery When
- 1:46:48Speaker 1: he found out, he went nuts? He went nuts. He said,
- 1:46:54Speaker 1: I like the bark one. The bark the bark one
- 1:46:57Speaker 1: is is kind of clever, although I think the lost
- 1:47:03Speaker 1: luggage one is my favorite. Ragnarok. Once upon a time,
- 1:47:07Speaker 1: a Knockouts team would have Taylor Wilde, the Beautiful People,
- 1:47:11Speaker 1: Tara Tara or Tara Tara, Daphne, Awesome Kong or ODB.
- 1:47:20Speaker 1: This was NXT versus NXT and brother. The majority of
- 1:47:24Speaker 1: it was NXT against NXT. I said, the entire women's
- 1:47:27Speaker 1: team is made up of people that really are not
- 1:47:30Speaker 1: They're more associated with WWE or NXT than they are
- 1:47:33Speaker 1: with TNA. That's sad that they couldn't find one person.
- 1:47:44Speaker 1: Tuxedo t Servo belated Happy birthday, A year older, a
- 1:47:47Speaker 1: year wiser. I like to think, so thank you, Tuxedo.
- 1:47:56Speaker 1: I saw your email before, part of it before or
- 1:48:00Speaker 1: I started working tonight. I hope you're doing well wrestling, Russ.
- 1:48:10Speaker 1: Sorry late tonight, got that bug, I am continued, got
- 1:48:14Speaker 1: that bug? You have a bug. I have my own
- 1:48:18Speaker 1: bug I'm dealing with here, but it might be different
- 1:48:21Speaker 1: from your bug. I hope you're not sick. I am
- 1:48:24Speaker 1: continuing to pray for you and your family. I wish
- 1:48:26Speaker 1: you well, brother Russ. I appreciate that very much. Thank

- 1:48:36Speaker 1: MGM Ballin with the nine ninety nine, Aaron Judge finally
- 1:48:40Speaker 1: had his signature playoff moment. Yeah, I saw that. I
- 1:48:43Speaker 1: saw that he tied that game up and then they
- 1:48:46Speaker 1: went up seven to six, and I didn't see what
- 1:48:47Speaker 1: happened after that. So I hope they won, because if
- 1:48:51Speaker 1: they lost, that's going to be pretty bad. I'm assuming
- 1:48:56Speaker 1: they won. What would Powerhouse Hobbs call it if he did?
- 1:48:59Speaker 1: Mercedes do Neme move Meaty meaty Aura. Sorry, Solo, here's
- 1:49:07Speaker 1: to be the booker, the meaty Aura. It's not bad.
- 1:49:15Speaker 1: It's not bad. That's something Sidro would say. Barry MK
- 1:49:24Speaker 1: four hundred really hope or really had hope that it
- 1:49:28Speaker 1: was going to be Izzy Moreno facing Mercedes. I've seen
- 1:49:31Speaker 1: a lot of her matches. She's done good so far.
- 1:49:35Speaker 1: Could have been huge for her. That would have been interesting.
- 1:49:41Speaker 1: I didn't find out until the other day. Apparently I'm blocked.
- 1:49:46Speaker 1: No idea why you'd be surprised how long that list is.
- 1:49:50Speaker 1: Thank you, Barry. We got mactub as a Dean Ambrose
- 1:49:55Speaker 1: fan who never watched him in aw feuds segments or matches.
- 1:50:02Speaker 1: Would you recommend buy or sell W W E. Dean
- 1:50:05Speaker 1: or AE W. Moxley. You know, I've really not been
- 1:50:11Speaker 1: much of a fan of a lot of what Moxley
- 1:50:13Speaker 1: has done this year prior to this though, and I
- 1:50:18Speaker 1: was it last year. It was two years ago, maybe
- 1:50:20Speaker 1: two or three years ago. Uh, he was he was
- 1:50:24Speaker 1: the MVP, you know, I mean they Tony Kahn always
- 1:50:28Speaker 1: fell back on him when there was controversy, when there
- 1:50:31Speaker 1: was an injury. You know, he Moxley in many ways
- 1:50:36Speaker 1: was his security blanket. You know. He was that old,
- 1:50:40Speaker 1: reliable hand who had a name that he could fall
- 1:50:44Speaker 1: back on and put his world title on if he
- 1:50:45Speaker 1: had to. And he has had some really good matches,
- 1:50:49Speaker 1: you know, with Brian Danielson and Lance Archer many years ago,
- 1:50:52Speaker 1: and Kenny Omega. I don't know if I have you know,
- 1:50:58Speaker 1: it's funny. I don't know if I have like one
- 1:51:00Speaker 1: John Moxley match that's my personal, like all time aw favorite,
- 1:51:07Speaker 1: but definitely you know, I would say, check out that
- 1:51:09Speaker 1: match he had with Danielson. God was a revolution. Might
- 1:51:12Speaker 1: have been a revolution a few years ago. So anyway
- 1:51:17Speaker 1: between you know, WWE Ambrose and AW Moxley. Having said
- 1:51:23Speaker 1: what I said about his stuff this year, which I'm
- 1:51:26Speaker 1: not really a big fan of, I still gotta go
- 1:51:29Speaker 1: aw Moxley because he's been so much more important to
- 1:51:32Speaker 1: this company and he's come across as a bigger star,
- 1:51:37Speaker 1: you know than he did in the Ambrose role. Any
- 1:51:44Speaker 1: angle or match that made you cry for me, it
- 1:51:48Speaker 1: was Cody and Dustin h Yeah, I was the Reunion
- 1:51:52Speaker 1: of the Macho Man and Elizabeth Wrestle Minnie seven brings
- 1:51:59Speaker 1: a tear to my eye every time. And then there
- 1:52:04Speaker 1: are other angles and matches that made me cry for
- 1:52:07Speaker 1: very different reasons too many to name. Yeah, Moxley in Japan.
- 1:52:17Speaker 1: Moxie went through that period where he was in Japan.
- 1:52:19Speaker 1: He had some matches there. Yeah, I mean I gotta
- 1:52:24Speaker 1: go Moxley over Ambrose on the whole, it'd be money.
- 1:52:33Speaker 1: What's going on? Plus Ultra Adrian is happy belated birthday, Sola,
- 1:52:37Speaker 1: Thank you Adrian. Adrian joining in on the party here,
- 1:52:42Speaker 1: Bass Beers says Wednesday Night Titans. Yes, we're flipping the
- 1:52:47Speaker 1: two days. Also, Yankees went from one one six to
- 1:52:52Speaker 1: nine six. Okay, so I guess they won. And Sidra,
- 1:52:57Speaker 1: why do zombies love eating human skin? Oh my god,
- 1:53:05Speaker 1: it's refleshing? He said, Oh fuck, you're so away. That
- 1:53:13Speaker 1: wasn't what I meant to hit. I was gonna hit this.
- 1:53:21Speaker 1: Oh man, we got really we got really harsh there
- 1:53:23Speaker 1: with with Sidrow. I hit the wrong button. It wasn't
- 1:53:29Speaker 1: that bad anyway. Uh, four hundred and fourteen likes. So
- 1:53:36Speaker 1: there you go. We hit we hit both goals. We
- 1:53:41Speaker 1: hit both goals, so that means we're doing double b
- 1:53:44Speaker 1: the booker here, dive into it here before I fuck
- 1:53:47Speaker 1: up again. Ladies and gentlemen, it is now time to
- 1:53:52Speaker 1: be the booker. Oh, I've heard worst jokes that would
- 1:53:58Speaker 1: deserve that. That's not one of them, he says, No,
- 1:54:06Speaker 1: that was the appropriate reaction. All right, Tag Team boy,
- 1:54:18Speaker 1: we had a harsh chat here, he says, Now that
- 1:54:20Speaker 1: was you had it right. Boomerang says, you had it right.
- 1:54:25Speaker 1: I'm crying here. All right, we have alpha academies kicking
- 1:54:29Speaker 1: us off here. Tag Team be the booker. Chad Gable
- 1:54:32Speaker 1: and Otis. I do miss Chad Gable on TV. Chad
- 1:54:43Speaker 1: Gable and Otis against the Shield, Roman Reigns and Seth Brawlin.
- 1:54:52Speaker 1: I have a feeling this right here. Maybe you're wrestlemaning
- 1:54:54Speaker 1: a forty two main event. Get ready? Tell me those
- 1:55:01Speaker 1: belts are not far superior to any of the tag
- 1:55:03Speaker 1: team titles that they've used in the last twenty five years.
- 1:55:07Speaker 1: Why did they just update this design? These belts are
- 1:55:12Speaker 1: so much better. Women's be the booker. We have Natalia,
- 1:55:25Speaker 1: Natalia taking on Mercedes money. It's too bad she didn't
- 1:55:35Speaker 1: answer the open challenge today. I think she's residing in
- 1:55:38Speaker 1: Florida these days. She could have been the Florida woman
- 1:55:40Speaker 1: that Mercedes was looking for in the Open Challenge. You know,
- 1:55:46Speaker 1: Triple H has let Natty work blood Sport GCW I
- 1:55:50Speaker 1: think and Nwa man I guess, I guess he turned
- 1:55:58Speaker 1: down the quest for her to work. Aw I'm shocked.
- 1:56:06Speaker 1: And our main event be the Booker is over. Oh no,
- 1:56:12Speaker 1: after the Wyat six massacred the roster. Oh no, oh no,
- 1:56:29Speaker 1: blame the Wyatts, Blame the Wyatts, everybody. They massacred the
- 1:56:35Speaker 1: entire roster. We have lost our b the Booker main event.
- 1:56:46Speaker 1: That's the bad news. The good news is that that
- 1:56:51Speaker 1: does not affect the bonus round that was unlocked, which
- 1:56:55Speaker 1: means we're not done yet. We lost our main event.
- 1:57:01Speaker 1: We can't get that back. There's nothing we can do there,
- 1:57:03Speaker 1: but we are still doing our bonus round. We do
- 1:57:06Speaker 1: not lose the bonus round. All right, We're gonna kick
- 1:57:11Speaker 1: things off here with an I quit match. John Moxley
- 1:57:16Speaker 1: and Darby Allen gonna be having one of these here
- 1:57:17Speaker 1: in a few weeks. I quit, not me. That's the stipulation. Yeah,
- 1:57:27Speaker 1: I quit tag team match. If I tell you what,
- 1:57:30Speaker 1: if I land on the Wyats again, then that's gonna
- 1:57:32Speaker 1: be it. Those are the rules, so you better hope
- 1:57:34Speaker 1: we don't land on them. We got pretty deadly Kit
- 1:57:38Speaker 1: Wilson and Elton Prince in an I quit tag team
- 1:57:45Speaker 1: match against the British Bulldog. I hat look at that.
- 1:57:48Speaker 1: Two British teams, two British teams in an I quit match.
- 1:57:57Speaker 1: Can you do tag team? Of course you can. If
- 1:57:59Speaker 1: one member of the team quits, that's it. The match
- 1:58:01Speaker 1: is over. Oh it's our friend Vince Russo. Bro. We
- 1:58:10Speaker 1: have an on a pole match. Bro. I got a
- 1:58:13Speaker 1: great idea. BRO. We're gonna put something on a pole.
- 1:58:19Speaker 1: It doesn't matter what it is. BRO. You can have
- 1:58:23Speaker 1: a pinata on a pole filled with Viagara. Bro. The
- 1:58:28Speaker 1: women's match is going to be a poll match, not
- 1:58:33Speaker 1: the best stipulation, and we have to decide what are
- 1:58:36Speaker 1: we putting on this pole. We have Victoria. Somebody mentioned
- 1:58:41Speaker 1: Tara from TNA. I believe she's gonna be inducting Mickey
- 1:58:45Speaker 1: James into the TNA Hall of Fame this weekend. I
- 1:58:50Speaker 1: don't know how Victoria is not in the WWE Hall
- 1:58:52Speaker 1: of Fame. That's another issue. We got Victoria gonna go
- 1:58:56Speaker 1: one on one with Tiffany Stratton, another era Tiffany Stratton
- 1:59:03Speaker 1: now against Victoria from her peak run. There would have
- 1:59:08Speaker 1: been a very good match. Oh but this is on
- 1:59:11Speaker 1: a poll. What are we putting on the pole? I
- 1:59:13Speaker 1: don't know. I think they could still make it work.
- 1:59:19Speaker 1: I think they could still make it work. All right,
- 1:59:22Speaker 1: we lost our first main event. We cannot lose back
- 1:59:26Speaker 1: to back main events. That cannot happen. Oh my god,
- 1:59:31Speaker 1: I wish we would lose this main event a Punjabi
- 1:59:34Speaker 1: prison match. You know, I booked myself in a Punjabi
- 1:59:38Speaker 1: prison match once. Here. What is with these stipulations tonight?
- 1:59:47Speaker 1: I'm kind of begging for the wyots Now we lost addresses,
- 1:59:53Speaker 1: we lost. It's already a lost cause. We have the
- 2:00:01Speaker 1: t today World champion Trick Williams is going to be
- 2:00:06Speaker 1: I bet they didn't train him for that at the PC.
- 2:00:09Speaker 1: Trick Williams is going to be in this Punjabi prison match.
- 2:00:15Speaker 1: God help us, and he will be defending I guess
- 2:00:24Speaker 1: that championship against Kofi Kingston. Kofi Kingston and Trick Williams
- 2:00:29Speaker 1: in a Punjabi prison match. That is a very unsatisfying
- 2:00:39Speaker 1: conclusion to be the booker here day after my birthday.
- 2:00:47Speaker 1: I was hoping for a better outcome here. We'll have
- 2:00:52Speaker 1: to try again next time. Stipulation ruined ITHI man, just
- 2:00:57Speaker 1: they just they've ruined it. What can I say? Sidra says,
- 2:01:02Speaker 1: bringing this gold joke back for you, solo Fyi. Gonerrhea
- 2:01:07Speaker 1: would have been a good name for diarrhea medicine. I
- 2:01:11Speaker 1: think that's my favorite. The first time I heard that,
- 2:01:15Speaker 1: I lost it because it's just it. It actually makes all
- 2:01:18Speaker 1: the sense in the world. I could see why they.
- 2:01:20Speaker 1: You know, a company would not want to name their
- 2:01:21Speaker 1: product gone a rhea. I understand why, but if you
- 2:01:26Speaker 1: think about it, it kind of makes sense. B money
- 2:01:31Speaker 1: oh four. Have you seen the AI videos going around
- 2:01:34Speaker 1: the past few days of Tupac Biggie and Eddie Guerrero
- 2:01:37Speaker 1: just to name it? Yeah, you know, I saw the
- 2:01:38Speaker 1: Benoa one. I hate them all. I really don't like them.
- 2:01:43Speaker 1: It's just very unsettling, and I do wonder, you know,
- 2:01:48Speaker 1: in some of these cases. There was one that I
- 2:01:49Speaker 1: saw with Kobe and it looks I mean, it looks
- 2:01:54Speaker 1: just like him, and it sounds just like him, and
- 2:01:57Speaker 1: it just makes me wonder, you know, like if you're
- 2:01:59Speaker 1: a family man and you see this shit going around,
- 2:02:02Speaker 1: like I don't know, like it just doesn't sit well
- 2:02:06Speaker 1: with me, just a very you know, it's it's it's
- 2:02:10Speaker 1: a weird thing too, because I could see where, you know,
- 2:02:14Speaker 1: a technology like that for some people, like who maybe
- 2:02:18Speaker 1: lost a loved one. I could see some people actually
- 2:02:22Speaker 1: wanting to like embrace that. It's like you're resurrecting them
- 2:02:28Speaker 1: and bringing them back to life. Like on a personal level,
- 2:02:31Speaker 1: I could see where maybe that could be something some
- 2:02:33Speaker 1: people would like welcome. But like, imagine you're one of
- 2:02:37Speaker 1: their family members and like, all over your fucking social
- 2:02:40Speaker 1: media feed, is this like AI video of your father
- 2:02:44Speaker 1: who was you know, killed ten years ago, you know,
- 2:02:48Speaker 1: and it's like plastered right there on your script. It's like,
- 2:02:50Speaker 1: I don't know, it's just it's just very strange. So yeah,
- 2:02:56Speaker 1: I saw all those videos and I don't like them.
- 2:03:01Speaker 1: Sidra says, who named the planet Uranus an astronomer, death
- 2:03:08Speaker 1: sithe scariest movie of all time would be what goes
- 2:03:12Speaker 1: on in Vince McMahon's head. How much alcohol would we
- 2:03:16Speaker 1: need to get through it? Forget alcohol, I think we
- 2:03:20Speaker 1: would need multiple therapy sessions to get through it. And
- 2:03:25Speaker 1: Arabian Night two thousand Moose has done everything in TNA.
- 2:03:29Speaker 1: He would be a good addition to WWE, maybe as
- 2:03:32Speaker 1: an enforcer for Melo to start. I would have replaced
- 2:03:35Speaker 1: Mara with an og in Rosemary. Yeah, Rosemary. Rosemary would
- 2:03:42Speaker 1: have been a good fit for that team. But yeah, Moose,
- 2:03:46Speaker 1: I think Moose will end up in WWE. I think
- 2:03:48Speaker 1: Moose when he had that match with Oba back in
- 2:03:51Speaker 1: March at Roadblock, I think that that match, probably more
- 2:03:54Speaker 1: than any other, really elevated his stock in the eyes
- 2:03:59Speaker 1: of people in WA. And I don't know what his
- 2:04:02Speaker 1: contract situation is. You know, Joe Hendry's contract is going
- 2:04:05Speaker 1: to be up soon. He's got a deal waiting for
- 2:04:08Speaker 1: him in WWE. If Moose's deal is up sometime next year,
- 2:04:14Speaker 1: I would guess that he's WWE bound. Yeah, because like
- 2:04:18Speaker 1: you said, he has spent a very long time in TNA.
- 2:04:21Speaker 1: It feels like he's done all that he can do.
- 2:04:25Speaker 1: They are about to very likely get a new television deal,
- 2:04:28Speaker 1: so they're going to really need as many stars as
- 2:04:31Speaker 1: they can muster. Maybe Moose would be one of those
- 2:04:36Speaker 1: stars they would want to build around. But it does
- 2:04:39Speaker 1: feel like he's done all he can do and it's
- 2:04:40Speaker 1: time for him to, you know, move up to that
- 2:04:42Speaker 1: next level. MGM ball and I don't know if my
- 2:04:49Speaker 1: member chat came through. Oh you know, I haven't gone
- 2:04:51Speaker 1: through them yet because they come up in a different windows,
- 2:04:54Speaker 1: so I have to look at them separately. So I'll
- 2:04:58Speaker 1: bring those up. But he says, happy belated birthday, Solo.
- 2:05:03Speaker 1: See you on Friday for hog I will see you there.
- 2:05:06Speaker 1: There's gonna be a lot of people in the building
- 2:05:08Speaker 1: on Friday. We're six rows deep and there's still some
- 2:05:13Speaker 1: limited tickets on sale. We opened up some new stage
- 2:05:15Speaker 1: seating general admission. It's gonna be a big night. MGM Balling, Yep,
- 2:05:23Speaker 1: I see it right here. Fifteen months of membership, Thank you,
- 2:05:28Speaker 1: MGM Balling. Can we expect a TNA and TRIPAA invasion
- 2:05:36Speaker 1: on the next WWE game? I wonder how that would
- 2:05:40Speaker 1: work in terms of do these wrestlers even get royalties
- 2:05:44Speaker 1: anymore from these games? I used to hear about how
- 2:05:46Speaker 1: lucrative the royalties were for the video games. I didn't
- 2:05:49Speaker 1: hear about that anymore under TKO, everything is so different.
- 2:05:53Speaker 1: I don't even know how any of that works. You know,
- 2:05:56Speaker 1: you got Kevin Nash on his podcast talking about you know,
- 2:06:01Speaker 1: his royalty checks are like half of what they used
- 2:06:03Speaker 1: to be, and you know Waltman. He was talking to Waltman.
- 2:06:07Speaker 1: Waltman was saying the same thing. I don't know how
- 2:06:11Speaker 1: that would work if you had wrestlers from other companies
- 2:06:14Speaker 1: in your video game. I don't know. Will you go
- 2:06:19Speaker 1: to the NXT show in November at the theater at
- 2:06:21Speaker 1: Madison Square Garden? Probably not. What day is that November?
- 2:06:26Speaker 1: Is that November eighteenth? Is that the day after the
- 2:06:31Speaker 1: raw show at the Garden? Probably not. I can only
- 2:06:33Speaker 1: imagine what those tickets will be worth. I will be
- 2:06:37Speaker 1: working that night. That is what I will be doing.
- 2:06:39Speaker 1: I will be working a lot later this week as well.
- 2:06:42Speaker 1: Friday night a little programming note, I will not be here.
- 2:06:46Speaker 1: I will be at the House of Glory show. Saturday
- 2:06:49Speaker 1: is Crown Jewel, eight o'clock in the morning. I am
- 2:06:53Speaker 1: thinking about going live mid afternoon, maybe about three o'clock.
- 2:06:57Speaker 1: I'll let you guys know. It will not be right after,
- 2:07:00Speaker 1: will not be immediately after the show is over, but
- 2:07:03Speaker 1: it definitely will not be a late stream that night.
- 2:07:07Speaker 1: But I will be live on Saturday afternoon for that.
- 2:07:09Speaker 1: We have the podcast on Sunday. I'm probably gonna be
- 2:07:12Speaker 1: live after bound for Glory. On Sunday night, I covered Slammiversary.
- 2:07:16Speaker 1: I think I'll do the same for Bound for Glory.
- 2:07:19Speaker 1: So that is what's coming up. I believe, I do believe.
- 2:07:23Speaker 1: We are doing TNT in our normal time tomorrow. We're
- 2:07:27Speaker 1: just flipping Tuesday for Wednesday this week only. So there's
- 2:07:31Speaker 1: that and some good stuff. So if you missed the
- 2:07:35Speaker 1: raw post show, we have fun last night three hours worth,
- 2:07:38Speaker 1: go back and check that out as well as episode

- 2:07:51Speaker 1: for Crown Jewel. They're up on the channel as well.
