AEW Dynamite 1/28/26 Review | Tommaso Ciampa SURPRISE DEBUT After WWE Contract Expires! · Solomonster Sounds Off

  Speaker 1: AW Dynamite Tonight was an interesting show. There was actually
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: quite a bit going on, and we now know how
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: they intend to decide on mjf's challenger for Revolution. Now.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: AAW does not have any pay per views until March fifteenth,
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: so we have a waste to go. But they are
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: essentially doing a small tournament to decide on who the
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: Revolution opponent is going to be. And it all kicked
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: off tonight in the main event because we had a
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: main event of Swerve Strickland one on one with Andrade
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: l Edelo in what ended up being Andrede's biggest win
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: in his entire AAW career. We had an excellent main
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: event between these two men with a finish that surprised
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: me a little bit. It surprised me a little bit.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: I say only a little bit, because if you think
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: about it, the winner of this match, we were told,
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: is going to be wrestling Kenny Omega in Las Vegas
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: next week on Dynamite, And obviously there are unresolved issues
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: between Kenny Omega and Androde because of what happened with
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: the whole contract situation. Kenny Omega was laid out by
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: Andrade months ago and then nothing ever came of it.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: It was never spoken of. Again, it's kind of a
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: big loose end that really needed to be tied up,
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: and I thought maybe they would use this as an
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: opportunity to tie up that loose en, but I couldn't
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: be sure because it is Swerve and generally he's pretty
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: well protected. I was very happy to see Androdi get
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: the win tonight. I think that was the right call.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: We now know that it's going to be Kenny Omegaan
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: Andrade next week on Dynamite. The winner of that match
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: is going to go on to wrestle Hangman Adam Page
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: next month, and the winner of that match will then
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: take on MJF. And there is a certain name that
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: maybe you may notice is missing from this conversation, and
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: we'll talk about why that is so. At least now
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: we have some clarity on how all of this is
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: going to be sorted out. Meanwhile, MJF has his own
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: issues with one Brody King, which we've known about, but
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: they were once again cropped up on him here this week,
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: and we had a big match that was made for
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: the show next week. So the world championship picture here
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: in this company continues to be the most interesting part
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: of the show, and I wish there was more going
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: on that interested me as much as what has been
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: going on with MJF and his kind of merry go
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: round of challengers. But that is really the most interesting
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: thing on the show at the moment. Now, beyond that,
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: there was something a few other things that happened here tonight.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: We had a new debut. Now this seems like a
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: weekly occurrence here in AW that that in and of
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: itself is not really a big surprise. What was the
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: surprise was the swiftness with which this person made his debut,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: because we only just learned that his contract with WWE
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: was expiring. Wait, I'm not aware of there being a
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: specific date that was floated. I didn't know what the
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: day was that this man was going to officially become
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: a free agent. But evidently it already happened because Tamaso
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: Champa is officially all elite. And I know this because
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: he got the graphic. Here it is and everything here
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: it is AW Tomaso Champa is all elite. It's never
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: really official until you get a graphic. He's already got
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: his Psycho Killer T shirt. I don't know what's going
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: on with this jacket with the collar and all that.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: But he came out tonight and looks as debuts go,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: in terms of the presentation, I don't think they could
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: have done a better job, especially on the music. Whether
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: or not AW ends up being the best landing spot
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: for him is going to be in the eye of
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: the beholder, right. Obviously he wanted to go to AAW
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: and so he ended up in AW, and in AW
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: he's going to have the freedom to work other places
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: as well, possibly even New Japan, and that is something
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: that we had heard about recently. I think it was
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: Meltzer who reported that Champa really had an interest in
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: pursuing New Japan, right, not necessarily full time, but just
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: wanting to work there, which is a little questionable just
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: given the fact, I mean, he is forty with a
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: bad neck, and obviously they work, you know, a very
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: rough style over there in New Japan. So I would
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: imagine that whatever he does over there, if he does
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: end up doing some stuff with them, would probably be limited.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: But if that was something that he wanted to do,
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: then this was a no brainer for him because AW
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: has the partnership with New Japan, whereas TNA does not,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: and I thought TNA would be a great landing spot
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: for him because they just got television on AMC and
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: he's the kind of person who I could see being
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: vaulted into that World Championship picture, you know, wrestling people
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: like Mike Santana, and I think that would have been
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: a good spot for him to be in. And then
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: he also of course could have worked you know, independence
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: and whatever he wants to do. My fear with him
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: going to AW is the fear that I have with
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: anybody at this point going to AW unless they're a big,
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: big name, which is that there are so many people
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: that are under contract to this company, even in just
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: the last month. Look at all of the people that
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: they have signed that they have brought in, and I
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: don't I'm sure he's not done yet. I'm sure there
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: will be more. Where is Champa a month from now,
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: two months from now going to land in the pecking order?
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: That was my concern, where if he were to go
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: to a TNA, he would be in a much better position,
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: I think, to be featured in a meaningful way. The
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: jury is out of whether or not that's going to
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: happen in AW, because in AW he is one of many, many, many,
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: many many people on that roster, but for one night,
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: him coming out tonight felt like a big deal, and
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: I thought they treated, as far as presentation wise, treated
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: his debut like it was a big deal. He's going
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: to be challenging for the Tntchchampionship this weekend, so we'll
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: talk more about how that all came about. And I
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: got some more thoughts on Champa as well. But we
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: don't got a wonder anymore where he's gonna end up,
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: because now we have our answer. We also have three
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: championship matches on this show, no title changes. Went zero
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: for three in terms of title changes. Unfortunately, in the
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: Tag Team Championship match, it appeared that there was an injury,
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: which really fucking sucks and I'm hoping it's not as
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: serious as this person seemed to think it was. Well,
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: we'll talk about that and the rest of the show.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: I thought that it was very similar to last week's
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: show in that the n ring is really what carried
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: the show. Had a lot of good matches on the show.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: My big gripe with the show last week was it
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: was very light on story. Right, we already know there's
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: a lot of people coming after mjf Right. We saw
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: it again this week, and that's great. I think they
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: should keep that up. But we already knew that there
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: really wasn't a whole lot of story progression on the
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: show Last Wednesday tonight. They did a little bit of
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: a better job, mainly with the Kallus family stuff. There
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: were some backstage segments where they sort of forwarded things
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: with Okata and Fletcher and Takeshta really for the first
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: time since World's End, which was a month ago. I
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: don't know what took them so long, So it was
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: a little bit better in that regard. They still need
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: to do a better job, though, I think as far
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: as beyond just Ian ring coming up with some really focused,
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: really compelling, interesting story related segments that aren't just quick
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: backstage hits. They still have some work to do on that.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: But as far as the matches on the show, it
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: carried the day, especially that main event, and we had
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: a Women's championship match on this show as well that
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: I thought was very good. So we'll talk about all
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: of it. This is your Wednesday Night Dynamite review. It
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: is January twenty eighth, twenty twenty six. I am the
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: solo monster thing. Thank you guys for hanging out with
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: me here on a Wednesday night. You guys know the
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: drill ninety thousand strong. If you are not a subscriber,
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: please go ahead and hit that sub button. Hit the
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: like button as well. We're gonna find out right now
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: what the likes goal is to do be the booker,
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: because we're gonna bust out the wheel if you will,
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: to find out right now what the number that we
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: need is to do be the booker. Quick spin four
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: thirty two. So we need a minimum four hundred and
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: thirty two likes in order to do be the Booker.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: You guys know what to do. It's all gonna be
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: on you guys. I know sometimes on Wednesday. Wednesday tends
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: to be one of the slower days of the week.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: But anyway, four thirty two is the goal, So go
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: ahead and let's see if we can make that happen.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: And also this weekend there's a big show coming up
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: in case you didn't know, I wouldn't fault you if
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: you didn't know, because the promote for it up until
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: this week has pretty much been fucking dog shit. But
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: the Royal Rumble is this weekend and I am going
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: to be live on Saturday night, probably around nine o'clock
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: or so for the Royal Rumble review. It's an early
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: start time for that show two pm Eastern, but we'll
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: have some fun with that. The Royal Rumble is always
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: my favorite event of the year. It doesn't really feel
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: like Royal Rumble right now, but usually once the show hits,
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: generally speaking, they tend to be fun. So that's what
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: I'm hoping for. Hopefully you'll be with me. All right,
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: let's get into this here. We'll start from the top
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: and we'll zip on through this. Because they opened the
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: show tonight with Kenny Omega coming out for his match.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: You see Kenny Omega, he was scheduled for a match
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: on tonight's show. He had some stiff competition. Let me
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: tell you, I wasn't sure if Kenny Omega was going
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: to be able to overcome the odds here. I really
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: I I wasn't sure because we had Kenny Omega one
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: on one with Rocky Romero, yes of the Don Kallis family,
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: the same Rocky Romero. I should point out to you
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: who has not won a match, a singles match, in
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: an aw ring or a ring of Honor ring since
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: October of twoenty twenty four, and that was in Ring
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: of Honor. I couldn't even tell you the last time,
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: if ever, that he won a singles match in an
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: aw ring, but if it happened, it pre dates October
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: of twenty twenty four. So this is the competition they
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: found here for Kenny Omega. Omega quickly hit a slingshot
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: dive out to the floor, and then back inside. We
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: got the Kataro Crusher, which led to Rocky briefly taking
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: a powder outside the ring, got a cheap shot in,
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: he escaped a snap Dragon, He ended up eating a
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: V trigger, a Snapdragon, an V trigger, and then finally
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: just put this thing away, the one Winged Angel, and
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: Kenny Omega picks up the win. You know, for a
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: guy who cut that promo a few weeks ago and
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: told the entire world, you know, I don't want to
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: just be handed a shot of the world championship. I'm
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: going to earn my way back into the world title scene,
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: right I'm going to earn my way to be the
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: number one contender. You would think that they would be
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: able to find, uh, you know, competition that is a
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: little bit better than Rocky Romero because you look at
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: Rocky Romero's win loss record, it ain't great, it's not
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: so you would think he would want competition a little
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: bit of a higher level. I don't see how this
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: really accomplishes that, but it was a quick three minute
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: win for Kenny Omega. So Tony Schiavanni climbs into the
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: ring after this. He is rocking a Neon yellow tie
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: and he's got Nikes to match. He was radioactive as
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: he climbed into the ring and he's talking to Kenny
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: Omega about all the possible challengers for mjf's championship, and
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: Shravanni said that the two top contenders are going to
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: face off a Grand Slam Australia, which I believe it's
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: going to be a collision, specially it's a Saturday. I
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: think it's Valentine's Day, so I think that's going to
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: be a taped collision special, which is what it may
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: have been last year as well. The winner of that
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: match is going to then challenge MJF for the championship
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: in Los Angeles on March fifteenth at Revolution, which just
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: be aware that is a Sunday pay per view A
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: lot of their pay per views are on Saturdays. This
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: one is on Sunday, which, honestly for me is probably
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: better in many ways because sometimes these Saturday shows can
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: really fuck up my weekend schedule as far as the
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: podcast goes, so I don't necessarily mind it. But the
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: winner of the main event Tonite between Androde and Swerve
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: Strickland will face Kenny Omega in Las Vegas next week
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: to determine one of those spots in Australia. Omega said
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: that he hates to repeat himself, but aw is supposed
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: to be worth the best wrestle, so Omega said that
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: whether it's someone that he really hates, like someone from
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: the Don Kallis family, or someone that he loves, he
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: will become the world champion once again. And at that
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: point that brought out his old friend, the cowboy hangman,
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: Adam Page, down to the ring and Page said that Omega,
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: you know he looks good, but truth be told, after
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: all these years, he'd rather be fighting beside him than
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: fighting against him. But with the world title at stake,
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: so be it. So he made the mistake of looking
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: past Samoa, Joe and the ops and hoping that he
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: would get to defend the title against Kenny one day,
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: but because of a kick to the balls by hook,
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: things are a little bit different now. So as much
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: fire and passion as Omega has, he will not be
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: the next world champion. It will not be Andrade, it
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: will not be Swerve, it will be him. It will
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: be Hangman. So of course Swerve is not going to
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: allow that to go without getting a word in here.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: So Swerve Strickland makes his way out to the ring,
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: and he excused himself for sounding like a broken record,
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: but he came back to aw for a world championship
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: and he has not been pinned since returning. Says his
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: mission remains the same. He is getting back his world title.
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: He doesn't care who he has to stomp out to
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: get it. Omega said that he fancies himself at being
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: pretty astute at reading the room, and he feels the
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: animosity between them, and he's looking for a fight, And
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: Strickland laughed and says, more than you will ever know.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: So then we hear don Callus's voice like nails on
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: a chalkboard instant heat. As he makes his way out
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: onto the stage, a tells Swerve to enjoy being undefeated.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: It ends tonight when Andrade pins him and he goes
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: little Kenny Daddy is here to tell him when Androde
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: beats Swerve, he's coming for Kenny Omega and Callous that
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: he hasn't forgotten about Hangman. He has something special in
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: mind for of ooh, maybe a new member of the
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: Callus family. We don't have enough of those. I think
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: we need a new member. I'm surprised I didn't debut
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: Champa as a new member tonight. That might have been
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: the most shocking part of the entire show. I was
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: fully expecting. That's one of the reasons I didn't want
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: him coming here in the first place. I was convinced
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: that if he showed up, he was going to be
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: the newest member of the Don Kallis family. So all
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: three of them, he says, are going to understand that
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: the Callous family runs this show. And Omega sprinted down
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: the aisle and chased him to the back. So it
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: is going to be Kenny Omega against and I already
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: mentioned the outcome. It's going to be Kenny Omega against
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: Andrade in Las Vegas next week. The winner is going
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: to wrestle Hangman in Australia. Now, why does Hangman not
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: have to qualify for this? Well, my guess they didn't
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: outright say this, but my assumption is that it was
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: going to be Hangman Page one more time against Samoa Joe.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: Samoa Jo has said he wants his rematch, he wants
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: to come after the World Championship. He just beat Speedball
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: right last week, ex Caliber mentioned earlier in the show
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: on commentary that Samoa Jo sustained a non contact injury.
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: He sustained an injury in training this week and they
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: wished him well. They didn't give any other details about
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: how serious the injury is, what the injury is, Is
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: it a cover because he has to go film something like,
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: we don't know. I'm taking it at face value that
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: he suffered some kind of training injury. But that sucks,
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: and I assume that's why Hangman has no opponent and
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: he's just going to Grand Slam and he's going to
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: meet the winner of the Omega the Androde match next week.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: So for the time being at least, Simojoe is out
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: of the world title picture. Again. I've been loving what
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: they're doing, you know, where everything is just so hyper
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: focused on the world Championship and somebody in the chap
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: might have been quazed before I went live. Who made
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: the comba. It's actually it's very true. Think of how
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: long the world title was locked in a briefcase, almost
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: a year. We did not see the physical belt, right,
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: it was locked away in a briefcase by the death Riders.
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: And so now the World Championship, right, we see it
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: and it's it shines brightly. It's one of the best
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: looking belts at all of wrestlings. It was number one
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: now it's number two behind the IWGP. But it's nice
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: that we have all of these people that are you know,
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: they have one common goal in mind. Everything is just
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: revolving around the championship, and it's something that we are
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: seeing right now in Mjf's reign. He hasn't been champion
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: for very long, but it's a nice change, you know,
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: from what we had previously. And he's the champion. He's
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: not wrestling every week, but he's appearing on the show
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: every week. He had the match with Bandido right last
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: or two weeks ago. He's going to be wrestling non
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: title on the show next week, and then you know,
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: we'll see if he ends up wrestling in Australia as well,
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: but I like it. I like him. The more the merrier.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: As far as competition for that title, that's what it
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: should be about. He needs to have eyes in the
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: back of his head. Right, They're coming from everywhere. Right,
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: he's a sleep with one eye open. The sharks are circling.
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: That's the way it should be. Now, we had John
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: Moxley against Ace Austen. This was a Continental title qualifier
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: or qualifier eliminator. They love their eliminator. Tony loves his
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: eliminator matches, so we got an eliminator match here outside
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: of the Dynamite Diamond Battle Royal that we had on
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: this show last month. This was Ace Austin's first match
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: on Dynamite. Now. He was supposed to be in a
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: tag team match I think on Collision this past weekend,
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: and there were some travel issues with the weather. He
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: wasn't able to make it. My guess is the reason
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: this match is happening is because it was to make
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: good for him. Yeah, he couldn't be there on Saturday,
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: so he ended up getting a match on Dynamite. We
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: may not see him have another match on Dynamite for
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: nine months. I don't know, but there he was tonight,
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: and he was controlling most of the commercial break. Moxley, though,
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: turned the tables as soon as things came back, took
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: Austin up in the corner with a superplex. Later on,
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: both men were trading strikes until Austin avoided a corner
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: charge and he hit a springboard kick for a two count.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: Austin took too long capitalizing though, that allowed Moxlay to
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: fire off a cutter out of nowhere, followed by a
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: death rider, and he picked up the win. Now After
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: the match was over, Kenoski Takesha's music hits, and Takeshta
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: power walks down to the ring and he climbs inside
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: and he confronts Moxley and pointing at the the Continental Championship,
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: and Moxley said that he remembered how takesh to beat
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: him in the Continental Classic, and again he pointed at
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: the title again, and then Takesha left. So then Jake
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: Doyle and Mark Davis they ambush Moxley from behind and
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: they stood tall and we were told that their tag
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: team title match, which they were scheduled for tonight, was
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: not next, which was very weird because you would think
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: that's what was about to happen here, but he's like, no,
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: then the match is not next, that's coming up later
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: on in the show. Instead, we're getting a TNT title
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: match next. So that was a little bizarre. But them
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: attacking Moxley here would play a very big role in
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: the tag team title match later on in the show.
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: Well obviously not two of the brightest members of the
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: roster that they would go and you know, fuck up
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: Moxley when they have their own championship match later on
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: on the show. Gee, I wonder, I wonder if that.
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: I wonder how that's going to end for them. We'll
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: see because we're not there yet. But at least now
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: we know which member of the Callus family Moxley was
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: referring to when he put Callous unnoticed last week. Remember
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: I made the comment, I go, you're going to have
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: to narrow it down as far as which member you're
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: talking about. Takeshta is that member? That's my guess. Probably
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: going to be the match in Australia at Grand Slam.
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: Far as the Ace Austin match again his first match
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: on Dynamite Singles match, This Ace Austin guy it's pretty good.
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: I mean, he probably didn't need me to tell you that,
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: but he's pretty good. It would be kind of nice
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: if we got to see him a little more often.
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: On this show, we saw Mark Brite, Let's go. He
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: was next against L Clone for the TNT Championship. Now,
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: this match was originally supposed to happen on Collision. If
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: you remember, the Collision taping was canceled because of all
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: the storms in Texas. So they taped Collision after Dynamite
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: last week and they held off on this match, and
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: instead they got a slot here on the live show tonight.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: A sauce that is going back to Collision. Yeah, it
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: was his maiden voyage here to Dynamite in singles action,
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: and he's going back home, boys, He's going back home,
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: back to Collision. He goes. But we had Mark Briscow
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: and L Clone, so they had a slug fest late
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: in the match until Briscoe fired off an exploder and
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: a Fisherman's bomb. Briscoe went up top, he hit Froggy bow.
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: Clone kicked out Brisco's signal for a Jade Driller. Now
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: it looked to me like he hit the Ja driller. Okay,
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: he hit the jay driller L Clone pops right back
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: up to his feet like he bounced out of it
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: and landed on his feet and no sold it, which
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: I hated. And then he fired off a pellet kick.
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: There was a one leg at ASII moon salt outside.
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: Clone then quickly took Briscoe back in, went up top
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: hit a double foot stomp. Brisco ended up fighting off
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: a portal bomb and then hit a or got a
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: high stack and got the flash pin. So he no
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: sold a J driller and he kicked up out of it.
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: Now I don't know of the idea because I know
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: some people might be like, oh, well, he didn't know
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: sell it. He just he avoided the move. If you
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: watched the sequence, it looked like he fucking dropped him
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: on his head with the J driller and he just
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: bounced right back up to his feet. So I don't
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: care what the intent was. I'm telling you what it
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: looked like. And I hated that. To me, that is
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: a move that should just be protected from here on out.
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: And if he's not going to win with it, or
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: if you're going to do something like this with the
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: other person, is going to no sell something, no sell
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: the froggy bow. There's any number of moves that you
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: can just sort of no sell like it's not a
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: big deal. The Jade Driller, in my opinion, should not
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: be one of those moves. I'm sorry, not from L Clone,
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: but the fact that they had L Clone kick out
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: of that and then it took a high stack at
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: a flash pin for Mark Briscoe to beat this guy
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: so hardly a decisive win tells you how strongly they
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: put over El Clone here in this match. Even though
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: he didn't win. They put him over about as strong
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: as you could put somebody over without them actually winning
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: the match. And look Ares, he's the one who portrays
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: L Clone. Ares is very good, right, he's a very
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: good rest. But again, I just I hated that j
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: Driller spot. So after the Magic Briscoe took the mic
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: and he said that he's not doing any ducking or
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: dodging and he's going to be right back in action
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: on Saturday night, and he loves the concept of the
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: TNT Title Open Challenge, but one asterisk no one from
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: the don Kallis family, because he's sick and tired of them.
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: So step up, who's it going to be and the
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: lights go out, and all of a sudden, on the
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: big screen we see and hear a beating heart and
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: then the words psycho Killer on the screens on either side.
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: Because they don't have tunnels anymore, if you feel notice,
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: they have kind of a main screen in the middle
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: from the entrance where you walk out, and then two
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: more vertical screens on the side. So we had Psycho Killer,
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: and it sounded like the crowd still didn't pick up
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: and I knew instantly, I'm like, oh shit, but it
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: didn't sound like everybody picked up on it right away.
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: But then the music kicked in the name popped up,
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: and then this got a big reaction, and it was
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: Tomasso Champa Psycho Killer himself. He just trade filed the
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: trademark applications right in the last few weeks and just
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: got his not release. Really, but he gained his freedom,
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: I guess you would say, because his WWE contract expired
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: and he made the announcement that he was not renewing,
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: and he made it sound like that was his decision
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: and at the company's decision. I'm not sure which, but
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: again it sounds like it was his call, like if
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: he wanted to stay. He probably could have stayed, but
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: he opted to leave. Why did he opt to leave?
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: I don't know. You'd have to ask Tomaso Champa. You
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: could look at what he was doing in WWE, and
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: you could surmise from that that maybe he realizes, look,
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: I'm not getting any younger and I'm on borrowed time
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: at this neck. He mentioned in the letter that he
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: posted on social media. You know, my first decade and
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: then my second decade in wrestling, I spent in WWE
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: after being like on the indies in the first decade,
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: and now in my third decade, my final decade. You know,
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: he's kind of venturing out on his own and doesn't
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: know what the future holds. So maybe he just wanted
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: to try new things before all a said and done.
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: Maybe he was unhappy with the position that he was
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: in because, let's be honest, guys like him and Johnny Gargano,
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: the spot that they were in on SmackDown that was
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: as good as it was going to get. He was
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: a big deal in the Black and Gold NXT days, right,
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: he was a main eventor he was like a Hall
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: of Famer in NXT. He was never that on the
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: main roster, and at this point he was never going
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: to be that. So if he was unhappy with his position,
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: that would be reason enough for him to go. You
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: know what, I'm going to bounce. I'm going to bounce
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: and I'm going to go somewhere else, or I'm going
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: to wrestle in a whole bunch of different places, because
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: I just get the impression this guy just really loves wrestling,
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: and maybe he just wants to work, and he wants
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: to wrestle as many new people and maybe some old
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: faces as he possibly can. And you can't fault the
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: guy for not wanting to be stuck on SmackDown Wrestling,
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: you know, AXIOM and wrestling the same fucking people over
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: and over and over again. And as they call up
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: new people from NXT, who do you think, Who do
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: you think of the guys that are going to be
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: there doing jobs for Obafemi or Ethan Page or Royce
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: Keys or whoever they call up from from NXT. It's
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: going to be people like Matt Cardona and Kit Wilson
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: and Johnny Gargano and Tomaso Champa. So I can't get
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: in the man's head and tell you exactly what the
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: reason was maybe it was monetary, it was financial, who knows,
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: But I really thought that TNA would be a good
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: landing spot for him, and he felt otherwise. Either that
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: or AW came in with a better offer. Where he'll
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: land up, you know, in a few weeks, let alone
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: a few months. I think we all know where he's
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: gonna end up. But for now, he debuts, and he
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: comes out and he confronts the TNT champions, someone that
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: he has history with from their days together in Ring
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: of Honor, so there is some history there. But he
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: gets into the ring and he stares at the TNT
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: title and he's telling Briscoe he's coming for it. And
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: then he gave Briscoe a kiss on the cheek, and
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: then he left the ring and he went over to someone.
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: It might have been his family. I think his daughter
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: maybe was in the front row. I couldn't see. It
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: was a little kid who had headphones on to protect
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: her ears. So my guess is his family was there
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: at ringside. But again, he got a great response here
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: from the crowd, and I thought, as far as the
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: presentation is concerned, fucking awesome theme song and again the
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: beating heart and everything else I thought production wise, presentation wise,
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: this was great. That song is a definite home run
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: from My ruckus. Uh. It's apparently it's called My Shadow Knows.
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: It's not on Spotify yet, but hopefully soon it will
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: pop up on Spotify. So yeah, Night one was a success.
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: I just I worry about, you know, where where is
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: he going to end up going for and not not
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: like he'll be competing in wrestling MJF. You know, for
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: the World Championship. If it were me, and I know
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: Mark Briscoe hasn't had it for very long, but if
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: it were me, I put the title on him. Like
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: they're doing this title match on Collision this weekend. I
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: put the fucking title on him. That's what I would do.
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: Because let's say he goes in there and he loses, right,
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: he loses to Mark Briscoe. Realistically, where does Tamaso. I'm
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: grateful he's not in the Callous family, but realistically, where
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: does Champa Land? What role does he end up in?
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: Because it would be kind of said if he ends
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: up in exactly the same position he was in on
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: Friday Nights Now, he may be okay with that because
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: the big difference is with aw he will have the
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: freedom to work independent dates. He will have the freedom
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: if he wishes to to work New Japan. I mentioned
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: the New Japan angle. Maybe that was the deciding factor
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: for him. Maybe he really wants to do something with
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: New Japan. In AW he will have the chance to
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: do that. Maybe he cares less about Okay, where where
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: in the pecking order am I going to land on
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: Dynamite or on Collision. I just there's so many people
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: on this roster. I just want to be able to
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: work with all of them and then you know, kind
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: of book my own shots and work a whole bunch
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: of other places too. Maybe that's what makes him happy,
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: I hope. So. Clearly he made this choice for a reason,
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: just like Josh Alexander, right, he chose AW over WWE.
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: One of the reasons he did that was because of
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: the roster. There were people on that roster, including Kenny Omega.
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: Omega was one of the big reasons why Josh Alexander
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: chose AW over WWE. He really wanted to work with
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: Kenny Omega and he got the chance to do so
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: last week. Everyone has their reasons for it. I really
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: don't think that the money these guys are being offered
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: in some cases between the two companies is radically different. Like,
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: I don't think it's I don't think there's a life
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: changing difference between the money that's being offered. I think
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: it has more to do with, Okay, who am I
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: going to be working with and what am I able
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: to do outside you know of what I'm doing for
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: this company, because I really want to work in all
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: these different places. And also, don't forget they have the
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: relationship with CMLL. Right who knows, maybe there could be
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: opportunities there. He got Claudio running around as the CMLL
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: World Heavyweight Champion. Me to tell me, you can't see Shampa,
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: you know, doing some stuff maybe over there working at
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: Arena Mexico. I hope it all works out. Champa is
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: a great talent, and I hope that it all works out,
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: and I think we're going to be seeing a lot
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: of him in a lot of different places. Backstage, Renee
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: welcomed Kyle Fletcher, and at his request, Kauzzuchka Okada was
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: there and Kazuca Ocada is talking about using the screwdriver
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: at World's End, and I'm like, World's End. January twenty
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: eighth World's End I think was December twenty six. It's
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: been a month and now we're finally following up on
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: the screwdriver stuff. It took a little while, it took
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: too long, but Okada said, look, I took the screwdriver
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: because I wanted to win. Wanted to win, and I
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: didn't really even think. I didn't really give any consideration
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: to the fact that I used it, and then you
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: couldn't in your match. I wanted it to be you
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: and me in the finals of the Continental Classic. And
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: he apologized, he said I'm sorry. So Fletcher said, look,
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: it takes a big man to admit his faults, and
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: I accept your apology, and they shook hands and Fletcher
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: walked off, and Ocata just sort of stared at him
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: as he walked off. And I thought for sure that
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: when Fletcher was no longer within listening distance, Okada was
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: just going to go bitch, but he didn't. Maybe in
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: his mind he did, but he did not call him
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: a bitch. So all seems to be well for now
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: with Fletcher and Okada. This will play into another backstage
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: segment later in the show. MJF walked to the ring
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: the aw World champion was out. Next first thing he
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: did was look over at Taz, who has replaced Brian
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: Danielson on commentary. Danielson had mentioned that all the traveling
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: apparently was really wreaking havoc on his neck. So I
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: guess he's just not traveling anymore, which is too bad
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: because I was enjoying him on commentary. But I mean,
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: you know, it's Taz. So Taz is very good to
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: what he does. It's good to have Taz back. So
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: the first thing he does is look over at Taz
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: over on commentary and he goes, I can't believe they're
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: making us work in a dump like this. I think
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: they were in Where were they tonight's Cedar Park, Texas?
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: They were somewhere in Texas and Taz. They zoom in
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: on Taz, and Taz is like, I don't know what
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: to tell you. I ain't got no answers for you, Champ.
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: So before MJF could even get another word out, brody
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: King's music hits. He walks to the ring and MJF asks,
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: if can we speak like men? He told bark Boy
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: that last week, he told him he needs to beat
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: someone who matters. If you want a shot at the champion.
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: But yet here you are still following me around like
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: a lost puppy. He goes, it's the same thing that
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: you did with Malachi black ooh, and he goes, you know,
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: he used to terrify me. How you guys used to
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: turn the lights on and off. So then you also
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: follow that other guy around. Buddy Matthews, he said, a
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: name that strikes fear into the hearts of everyone. And
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: then he asked, how's his ankle doing? Actually, his ankle
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: is is not doing well. You know, next month, it's
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: going to be a full year since he's been out.
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: It's one of those fluky things, man like he was
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: was it Okada? Was he wrestling Okada? I want to
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: say maybe Ocada. Whatever the match was, it was a
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: Grand Slam, and he came out for his match. Remember
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: what happened? He came out for his match and either
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: he jumped over the top rope into the ring and
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: it happened, or he was in the ring on the
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: ropes and then he kind of jumped down. It was
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: one of those like fluky things, and he just bent
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: like his his ankle just bent the wrong way. And
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: he proceeded to wrestle, like a fifteen minute match on
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: an ankle that he had no business wrestling on. So
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: I'm sure it made it that much worse, but that's
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: what it was. It didn't happen during the match. It
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: did its total fluke occurrence. It's kind of like the
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: Bianca bell Air thing where yeah, she's wrestling this match
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: and she breaks her finger or a couple fingers. It
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: ended up being more of like a broken knuckle. But
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: like in terms of like wrestler injuries, you're like, oh,
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: all right, well this person broke a finger, they broke
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: a knuckle. He'll be back soon enough. It's gonna be
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: a year. Yeah, Like I'm hoping we see her on Saturday,
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: but if we don't, I have no fucking idea when
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: we're gonna see her again. It's just sometimes the smallest,
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: stupidest things are the ones that really do the most
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: damage and keep you out for the longest time. So yeah,
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: to answer his question, his ankle is not doing very well.
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: I don't know when we're gonna see him again. So
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: now Brody, says Ora. MJF says, Brody follows a loser
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: like Bandido, so maybe he should follow MJF. He goes,
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: he'll pay him to follow him around, but first we
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: have to fix your esthetic. And then he had this
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: great line. This was actually this is a great line
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: about how I never met a liberal man that looks
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: more like a Nazi than Brody King. And even he
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: couldn't help but laugh at that. He goes, but it's okay. MJF.
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: Will get him in a nice suit. He'll get a
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: nice scarf like I have. Because the pipe dream of
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: you becoming the champion is just that, it is a dream.
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: The reality is, in order to be the champion of
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: the world, you need to be a leader, and just
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: like these schmuck fans, you are nothing more than a follower.
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: So then it was Brody's chance to speak, and promos
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: are I wouldn't say promos are his strong suit, not
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: that he's terrible at them, but I don't know for
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: a guy who is you know, bang on when he
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: comes out As far as projecting intimidation, I mean, you
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: get a guy like Brody King walking towards you and barking,
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: you know that's gonna be intimidating, right, So he's got
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: that down pat When he cuts his promos, though, I
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: wouldn't say he cuts an intimidating promo, like that's not
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: really his strong suit. But you gotta cut promos, right,
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: You got to be able to speak and communicate. And
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: so here was his chance to retort to MJF. He goes, look,
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: I don't need to follow anybody around. And what you described,
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: it's called friends, which is clearly something you never had.
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: But he said MJF was right about him needing to
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: beat somebody who matters. So what he did was he
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: sat down with Tony Kahan and they thought about who
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: Brody could face to potentially earn himself a shot at
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: the AW World Championship, and they figured it out someone
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: worthy enough MJF. And this is not what MJF wanted
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: to hear, based on the look on his expression. Set
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: it all. So next week they're going to have an eliminator.
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: Now there's that word again. The eliminator match's coming up
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: next week, and when Brody wins, the two of them
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: will then square off of the AW World Championship in
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: Australia at Grand Slam, and he will become the leader
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: that AW needs. And then he barked at him, and
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: that was the end of the promo, so it all
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: blew up in mjf's face. I like this, I actually,
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: And for all the shit that I give them about
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: these stupid eliminator matches, this I actually liked. And I'll
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: tell you why, because I really, I generally do not
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: like when they do this stuff. I just I wish
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: they wouldn't do it, just the idea you got to
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: beat the champion twice basically to become the champion, you
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: you gotta beat them first time, then you got to
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: come back and beat them a second time. In this case, though,
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: story wise, right, it makes sense and there's a reason
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: for it, as opposed to how these eliminator matches usually happen,
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: like the one with John Moxley and Ace Austin tonight,
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: or the one with him and Shelton or anybody else, right,
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: take your pick. They're just randomly assigned. Most of the time.
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: They fall from the sky at random and you never
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: know what you're gonna get. It's like putting a bunch
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: of names in a hat and just randomly picking them out,
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: and that's how we get these eliminator matches more often
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: than not. In this case, they've been building this now
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: for a few weeks where brody king the stuff with
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: Bendido is what led to what we now see with
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: MJF and with Brody King, and so MJF has been
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: trying to avoid this man right at all costs. Literally
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: ran away from him last week, ran for his life.
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: And so if he wants Brody to find somebody worthy
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: enough to be well, who better than MJF himself. So
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: again his plan backfired. It blew up in his face.
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: And at least here it's like, okay, you know what,
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: that actually makes sense. At least there's a reason for it.
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: At least there's a story for it. Just don't make
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: a habit out of it. But in this case I'll
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: allow it. I'm okay with it. Any other circumstance probably not.
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: But here I think it works. They aired a video
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: package for the Young Bucks with them talking about how
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: a little bit of humility is what they needed and
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: they're going to be back to their roots. They're challenging
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: any team to face them in Las Vegas next week
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: for a super kick party. We're going to get another
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: new signing? Are we getting another new tag team added
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: to the roster? Who was facing the Young Bucks next
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: week we had Chris Statlander. She will not be wrestling
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: the Young Bucks next weekend or a next week rather,
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: but she did defend her AW Women's World championship here
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: on this show against Tecla. I feel like they've been
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: building to this match now for a few months. So
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: the Sisters of Sin, they came out with Tecla for
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: her entrance, but they left soon after, and because we
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: were reminded that if they want a shot at the
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: AW Women's Tag team titles, which were offered to them
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: by the Babes of Wrath, then they have to keep
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: their distance from this match. So Tekla offered a handshake.
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: At the very beginning, she slapped Statlander before taking to
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: powder outside. So to the outside, Statlander picked her up.
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: She held her up for a while, very impressive delayed
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: vertical suplex. Follow that up with a sling shot into
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: the ring steps Sternham first, so Tecla worked over Statlander.
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: During a commercial, Statlander tried a death valley driver. Techa
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: escaped to the apron and guillotined her, and then she
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: rolled through a top rope dodge. Statlander though charge and
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: motored down with a lariat. Champion then took two long
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: going up top, so that allowed Techla to slap her
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: and join her on the rope. She delivered a spider suplex.
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: Statlander rolled outside, tried to create some distance, and Tecla
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: met her with a crossbody block and the crowd was
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: I mean to me. To my ear, sounded like the
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: crowd was pretty solidly behind Tecla. Here, Statlander kicked out
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: at two back inside. Statlander fired off an uppercut, turned
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: her back though to charge, and that gave Tecla enough
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: time to hit a spear. We got a little bit
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: of a reset here. Both women started swinging from their knees.
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: They rose to their feet. Statlander was screaming at Tecla,
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: beat me, go ahead, beat me instead, though Techla spat
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: in her face, so the black widow was briefly applied. Tecla, though,
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: wrenched at the arm and followed with a curb stomp
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: for close to count. We got a spider pose from
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: the challenger, and as she charged in, she ran right
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: into a thrust kick. Tecla rolled out of a Saturday
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: night fever into a roll up. Then she matrixed out
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: of a charge, tried another spear. Statlander caught her with
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: a doctor bomb and then the Saturday Night Fever to
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: retain the title. After the match Willow Nightingale Harley Cameron,
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: they came down to the ring to celebrate with Statlander
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: and then out on stage comes Megan Bain and Penelope
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: Ford and they stand there and they stare from Afar,
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: and that is how this came to an end. My
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: only criticism here is that they only got about eleven
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: minutes for a match that felt like they took at
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: the very least many many weeks, if not a few
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: months building. They took their time really building to to this,
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: you know, Tecla getting this World Championship match, and I
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: just felt like it was about ready to kind of
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: go into that next gear and then it ended because
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: I thought what we got here was excellent stuff from
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: these two. I just wish they had a few more
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: minutes to really, you know again, take it to that
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: next gear. And I also would not have minded a
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: title change here. I like Statlander as the champion. I
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: do worry though, now she beat Techla clean in the
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: middle of the ring. So unless Techla's going to get
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: another rematch for some reason, Tecla had her shot and
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: she goes to the back of the line. Now, and
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure who's next. You know, you had Megan
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: Bain come out, She's another one. I wouldn't mind her,
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: you know, ending up in a program with Statlander. But
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: I assume her and Penelope Ford coming out. You know,
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: they were eyeballing Harley Cameron and Willow. So they're going
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: after the women's tag team titles, which I mean, I
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: guess that didn't stop a Willow from going after the
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: the TBS title, so people love holding multiple championships. I
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: don't get the sense that they're going in to Megan
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: Bane and Chris Statlander. I think Megan Bain and Penelope
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: four they're eyeing the tag belts. What does that mean
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: for stat Who is the next obvious one in line?
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: For Statlander? I feel like her just beating Tekla. Now
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: it's like, Okay, we've kind of exhausted all of the
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: obvious options. I don't know who's next. I kind of
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: feel like we've hit a wall now as far as
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: what's next for her, because again Mercedes is taking time off.
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: I don't think she's going to be coming back. I
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: mean not now. She could be back. I suppose for
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: a revolution, but she's going to be out of the
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: picture for a while. I'm not expecting her back in
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: the next few weeks. And if they want to tell
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: that story with her actually winning the championships, that's a
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: later story. You're not doing that now. So I don't
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: think they're going to her. I don't know. I don't
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: know who's next. As far as credible challengers, I feel
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: like we've exhausted all the all the main ones. Thunder
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: Rosa who's said thunder Rose isn't thunder Rose out? Yeah, no,
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: we're not. We're not looking at thunder Rose. And next
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: in line stat has been lame as Champ, says Bash.
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I think she does a great job
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: as far as the matches that she's been having. I
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: just think she needs a really good opponent and a
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: really good story. She doesn't have that right now. They
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: exhausted the Jamie Hater match Tekla now has come and gone.
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: If they don't go to Bain, I I don't know.
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: I'm just struggling to see who that next obvious challenger
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: would be. I don't know. Don Kallis was backstage with
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: Kyle Fletcher and Kenoski Ta Keshta, but he's gonna bring
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: home the gold. Androde has already made his intentions known
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: about challenging for the aw World title, and Callus told
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: Tekeshta take Kyle's lead for earlier and forgive Okada because
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: if you look up Fletcher's name in the dictionary, you'll
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: find TNT and he'll be bringing home the title to
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: the family, whether it's from Mark Brisco or whether it's
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: from Tamaso Shampo. So Callus said that he's going to
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: go enjoy a Martini while Davison Doyle take home the
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: tag team titles. And then he walked off, and then
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: Takeshta looks at Kyle Fletcher and he asked him, he goes,
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: you forgave Okada, and Fletcher tried to explain, and Takeshta
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: just walked off disappointed. He was very upset about this.
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: You know, I gotta say, I know, I understand how
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: crowded it is in the world title scene. Right now.
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: This is what we've been talking about, right MJF. Looking
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: over his shoulder, you got Hangman and Omega and Swerve
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: and possibly Andrade and Brody King and he just defended
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: against Bandido and Samoa Joe and eventually will Osprey. Right well,
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: these different names, it's very crowded. However, the idea of
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: Kyle Fletcher just being slotted back in the TNT title picture,
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: it's a step down. It feels like we're going backwards
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: with Fletcher when we should be going full steam ahead.
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: We're kind of taking a couple of back steps here,
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: and that bothers me, even though I understand right now
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: there's really no obvious spot for him, and again, it
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: would be Heal against Heel if you had him at
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: MJF and that doesn't really make a lot of sense.
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: I get that. I just don't like how it feels
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: like we're going backwards with him. Yeah, we gotta we
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: gotta figure out something else for Kyle Fletcher. He him
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: just going back after the TNT title. It just doesn't
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: I don't know, doesn't see it well with me. We
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: had FTR against Jake Doyle and Mark Davis, but the
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: aw Tag Team titles, we got a series of shoulder
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: tackles here from Doyle to Cash Wheeler, who tried to
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: leap frog Doyle though hit a chest bump in mid air,
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: so Davis tagged in. Harwood suffered the same fate as
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: Davis started a chop exchange, hit a standing sent on
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: as he hit the ropes, though Wheeler low bridged him.
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: Doyle got sent outside as well. Wheeler attempted to die,
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: he got caught, and then he got Lawn darted into
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: his partner, and the fans were cheering for Davis and Doyle.
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: They were cheering for the Callus family going, which is
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: a hard thing to do because these people do not
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: like Don Callous, but there are members of his family
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: that people like, like Takeshta. So they haven't been partners
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: for very long, but in the last few weeks it
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: has felt like the fans have you taken in a
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: more positive way than not to this new pairing. I
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: like this new team, actually, I just I think that
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: they add something to the Tag team Division that maybe
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: the Tag team Division had taken away from them with
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: the Lucasaurus injury. Right lost that team, and it's cooled
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: down a little bit now, and we were talking about
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: how okay the aw tag Team Division. It feels like
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: it's got a new lease on life, and look at
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: all these teams, and now I feel like in the
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: last few weeks things have really cooled off. I almost
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: feel like they're just sort of in a holding pattern
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: until Cope and Christian come back. Whenever the hell that is,
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: I don't know, but FTR is not dropping those belts
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: until they do. And then they lost Jurassic Express. So
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: it was like, Okay, these guys work well together and
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: if they get a reasonable push, then you know that
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: could be something fun for the division. But but unfortunately
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: we don't know if we're going to be getting Davis
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: and Doyle for a while because they come back from
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: the break. Now Harwood looks like his chest is a
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: little bloodied up from all the chops from Mark Davis.
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: Wheeler made the same. He plants Doyle with a power slam,
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: It got no sold, and Doyle mowed him down with
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: a body block. Hartwood got placed in the corner for
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: a superplex. Wheeler made the save and out on the apron,
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: Wheeler spikes Doyle with a DDT And it was at
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: that moment that Jake Doyle immediately like he he's on
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: the apron and he's up on his knees and he's
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: grabbing his right arm. And if you go back and
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: you watch it. He looks up at Wheeler, who's also
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: on the apron. He looks up at cash Wheeler and
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: he audibly told him, I just tore my tricep. I'm sorry,
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: I just tore my bicep. Not tricep. I just tore
• 53:43
  Speaker 1: my bicep. And we didn't see him again for the
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: rest of the match. That was the end of Jake Doyle. Now,
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: basically what happened is when he took the DDT with
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: his right arm, he held onto the top row and
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: it looked like it was maybe hyper extended. And I'm
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: kind of hoping that's all it is now. I mean,
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: he knows his body better than any of us do.
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: But you know, sometimes you think it's one thing, it
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: ends up being another. You think it's really bad and
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: it's not as bad. That's kind of what I'm hoping here.
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: Maybe he just hyper extended it. Maybe he does have
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: to take a few weeks off. But hopefully he didn't
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: tear anything. But he seemed in that moment pretty sure
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: that he tore his bicep. If he did, man that
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: it's just it fucking sucks. I Mean, they literally just
• 54:31
  Speaker 1: got paired up together like Jake's something just debuted like
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago, two three weeks ago, Max,
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: and they were really just starting to get these guys
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: going here and then like this could be a total
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: fluke occurrence where just by and I don't know why
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: he was holding the rope, but look, shit happens, right
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: he's holding the rope. Maybe you know, you take moves
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: on the apron, you're trying to just brace yourself whatever
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: it is, and then something stupid happens. So we have
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: to just wait and see how serious it is. But
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: he seemed to think it was pretty serious. So that, uh, yeah,
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: that sucks. So Davis is on his own now. He
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: took out Wheeler. He went up with Harwood, who slid
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: out and he crotched Davis. He hit an avalanche backsuplex
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: Wheeler flew in off the top with a splash for
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: a two count. Davis sent Wheeler outside before they could
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: try a shatter machine, and he sank in a sleeper
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: hole on Dax, who was flailing around. All of a sudden,
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: the Death Riders show up. John Moxley is back out here.
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: He has not forgotten what happened to him earlier in
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: the show, and this is where the uh I mentioned
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: these two guys aren't too bright. This is why what
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: did you think was going to happen? Did you think
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: this was going to go unpunished? So the Death Riders
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: come out, Daniel Garcia takes the referee right, he takes
• 55:51
  Speaker 1: Paul Turner, which allowed Moxley to blast Davis in the
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: head with the continental title. Davis is sent backwards right
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: into a shatter machine and FTR pins him to retain
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: the tag team titles. So kind of a predictable finish there,
• 56:08
  Speaker 1: I mean, you had to know the Death Riders would
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: take their revenge for what happened earlier in the show,
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: and the Death Riders in the Callus family they are
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: feuding with each other, so it makes sense. It was
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: a very like WWE raw style finish. We get so
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: many of these finished, so many more of these finishes
• 56:30
  Speaker 1: on any given episode of Raw Smack SmackDown that when
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: they happen on an aw show it's more noticeable because
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: it doesn't happen in this way very often. But that's
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: that's how I describe it. It's like a WWE finish here.
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: And so although the referees in both companies, they're all
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: made to look like just fucking morons, So it was
• 56:50
  Speaker 1: a cheap win. The match itself I thought was solid.
• 56:53
  Speaker 1: The injury, though, that kind of cast a dark cloud
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: over things. And again, all I can say is hopefully
• 56:59
  Speaker 1: he's he's not going to be out for too long,
• 57:01
  Speaker 1: because yeah, before it was Mark Davis who got hurt.
• 57:04
  Speaker 1: He only not that long ago came back from an injury, right,
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: I think it was a foot injury. So now Doyle
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: is hurt, Davis is back on his own, which is
• 57:15
  Speaker 1: just going to be death for him. Yeah, it's the
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: simplest of spots. Well, I mean, look, I mean when
• 57:22
  Speaker 1: you're taking a DDT on the apron, I wouldn't call
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: that the uh. I wouldn't call that the simplest of spots.
• 57:29
  Speaker 1: But yeah, it wasn't like he was doing anything too crazy.
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: I mean, he was taking he was taking to DDT.
• 57:36
  Speaker 1: You know, he just had his arm holding onto the
• 57:38
  Speaker 1: rope and whatever happened happened. You know, maybe he felt
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: something pop. I don't know. Renee was backstage with Orange Cassidy,
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: who was talking about his feud with Wheeler. Dah said
• 57:51
  Speaker 1: that Ydah is unrecognizable from the man that he knew
• 57:54
  Speaker 1: five years ago with his dumb, bushy beard, so you'da
• 57:57
  Speaker 1: walked in. Marina Shafir also walked in, and she grabbed
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: Cassidy by his hair, and as she did this, timeless
• 58:04
  Speaker 1: Tony Storm showed up and told her to unhand him,
• 58:10
  Speaker 1: as a Shafir is like a bad dose of the clap, said,
• 58:14
  Speaker 1: you don't know how you got there, but she's she's
• 58:18
  Speaker 1: going to need her to get out of here. Really,
• 58:22
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't know. So Marina asked if Tony wants more
• 58:27
  Speaker 1: milk or does her girlfriend want more flowers? So Storm
• 58:33
  Speaker 1: told her to piss off and when her and Citrus
• 58:37
  Speaker 1: Boy meet them, they'll be in some deep shit and
• 58:40
  Speaker 1: security separated all of them and I so, I guess
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: we're getting a mixedtag match. We're getting a mixtag match
• 58:45
  Speaker 1: very soon apparently when I don't know, but we're getting
• 58:48
  Speaker 1: a mixed tag match. And then the main event, it
• 58:56
  Speaker 1: was Swerved Strickland one on one against Andre Rode l Idelo,
• 59:02
  Speaker 1: with the winner meeting Kenny Omega on Dynamite next week
• 59:06
  Speaker 1: in Las Vegas. Before the final commercial break. Here, androde
• 59:11
  Speaker 1: this was early in the match, is a lovely female
• 59:15
  Speaker 1: fan in the front row, very strategically placed, and Androde
• 59:20
  Speaker 1: goes over to this clearly planted fan in the front row,
• 59:25
  Speaker 1: takes her phone and snaps a selfie of the two
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: of them together, and then as he goes to walk away,
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: she grabs him by the arm and she passes a lot.
• 59:34
  Speaker 1: I thought she was passing along like her snotty tissue
• 59:38
  Speaker 1: or something, but apparently it's a I don't know, paper
• 59:40
  Speaker 1: or napkin or something. She wrote her phone number and
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: then she kissed it, and then Androte takes it and
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: he shows like her lipsticks on there, like with the
• 59:48
  Speaker 1: lips and everything. So yeah, I quite the lady's been here.
• 59:54
  Speaker 1: I mean he is a single man now, I guess right,
• 59:55
  Speaker 1: So he's quite the lithario. I will say, you know,
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 1: Androde is in the best shape that I've ever seen
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 1: him in. So good on him. I think they did
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 1: something like this odd collision as well. Citrus Boy is
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 1: so funny. No, that's Orange, it's Orange, Cassidy. He is
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 1: Citrus Boy. So coming out of that break, Androde is,
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 1: I mean he's on fire man. He had a torneo
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 1: dive out to the floor back inside. He hit the
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 1: moon salt where he lands on his feet and then
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 1: immediately does a second moon salt standing moon salt. He
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: nailed that, and he was getting chance. I mean, the
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 1: crowd was chanting and he's in there wrestling Swerve, who's
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 1: pretty popular himself and he's part of the Callus family
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 1: all that, and he's got people chanting Elidelo, so they
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 1: were into it. But then Swerve dropped him on the
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 1: apron with the death Valley driver. They ended up on
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 1: the outside and on top of the barricade where Swerve
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 1: tempted a pile driver on the top part of the barricade,
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 1: exactly what he did last week in his main event
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 1: against Kevin Knight. So instead this time Androde back dropped
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 1: him and Swerve landed spine furs right on the top
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 1: part of the barricades. So now both men are down
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 1: on the floor and Aubrey Edwards is administering the count.
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 1: They both dove back in at the nine count. We
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 1: got a slugfest with four arm shots. Androde tried for
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 1: his message finish, which ex Caliber says he is now
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 1: calling the DM sliding into your dms like that girl
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 1: with the snotty tissue. So he went for the DM.
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 1: Swerve avoided it, and he came off the ropes and
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 1: Androte put his boot up, but then like he was
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 1: gonna boot him in the face, but then he quickly
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 1: dropped the boot and just as quickly as possible, he
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 1: turned and man, he absolutely wrecked Swerve with that spinning
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 1: back elbow that he does. Swerve ended up down in
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 1: the corner. Androde goes to the opposite corner. He comes
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 1: charging out, but he charges right into a house call
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 1: kick and Swerve covered him. Androde kicks out, Swerve went
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 1: up top. Androde, though latched onto his leg, he climbs
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 1: up with him. He hits well. He takes Swerve down
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 1: with an avalanche poison rana off the top. So then
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 1: the mediora knees in the corner connect and then he
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 1: plants him with the hammer lock DDT. That was very
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 1: similar to the hammer lock DDT that he beat Johnny
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 1: Gargano with in one of the great matches of the
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 1: Black and Gold era of NXT NXT takeover Philadelphia. I
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 1: saw that. I think in that case it was I
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 1: want to say that was inelevated hammer lock DDT. I
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 1: think Gargano was kind of draped over the ropes, but
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 1: he definitely beat him with a hammer locked DDT. I
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 1: remember that because as soon as he pined Gargano, the
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 1: air went out of the building. The air went out
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 1: of me too. I'm like, oh my god. If ever
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 1: there was a match that was set up for a
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 1: story book nd finish, it was that one, and then
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 1: Androte just beat him. But it's still one of my
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 1: favorite matches in the last twenty years. But here, unlike
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 1: Johnny Gargano, Swerve kicked out, so Swerve ended up getting
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 1: him in a position for big pressure. Androte rolled through
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 1: though into a pinning combination only for a two. Swerve
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 1: caught him with the house call kick, and again he
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 1: tried for big pressure. Androde though reached out and he
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 1: grabbed a hold of Aubrey Edward. I think he grabbed
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 1: it by the wrist. He grabs Aubrey by the wrist
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 1: and as she pulls herself away, that momentary distraction allows
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 1: Androte to lift his leg for the low blow, and
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 1: then at that point he hit him with the DM
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 1: which is his finish, and he pinned Swerve with his finish.
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 1: I love it. I love it. This is how low
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 1: the bar has been set, by the way, because everybody
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 1: kicks out of everybody else's finish so many times that
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 1: when you have a competitive back and forth match like
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 1: this and one guy hits his finish and he wins
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 1: with it, it's amazing. I'm very impressed. But I was more
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 1: impressed that they actually had Andrede go over on Swerve. Now,
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 1: it took a low blow to do it, he had
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 1: a cheat. That's okay, this was the right outcome and
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 1: he just picked up the biggest win so far of
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 1: his aw career. And that means that next week we
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 1: are getting Kenny Omega one on one against Andrede l Eedlone.
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 1: I love it for a few different reasons. The main
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 1: reason I really like, well, there's two reasons. Number One,
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 1: I liked that it wasn't just so obvious that Swerve
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 1: was going to go in there and win. You know,
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 1: they gave him the win last week over Kevin Knight.
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 1: He comes back this week back to back Great Maine
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 1: events by the way for Swerve Strickland. But he did
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 1: didn't have to win this match. He didn't have to
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 1: win this match because I think you also don't want
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 1: to just give away Kenny Omega against Swerve of Strickland
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 1: on Dynamite next week, like that could be a pay
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 1: per view match. You don't have to give it away.
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 1: And one of the reasons that you don't have to
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 1: give it away next week is because you've already established
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 1: an issue a few months ago between Kenny Omega Androde
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 1: that went unresolved for reasons that were out of your control. Well,
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 1: guess what, Androtte now is officially all Elite, he's under contract.
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 1: He got him back, and you cannot allow Kenny Omega
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 1: to at some point not circle back to the fact
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 1: that this guy showed up and fucked him up and
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 1: then disappeared and then we never spoke of it again.
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 1: It's stupid. It doesn't make any sense. So it's not
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 1: like Omega called him out. But okay, now they're going
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 1: to wrestle and you at least have a recent history
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 1: between them to draw from where Kenny never did get
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 1: his revenge on Androde for doing what he did, and
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 1: now he will next week because Kenny Omega is going
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 1: to beat Androde. So you at least gave Androde a
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 1: big win this week before he loses next week. This
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 1: was the right outcome. This was an excellent made event,
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 1: fantastic match again, Androte had the fans cheering for him
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 1: at different points during the match because he was on
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 1: his a game here, you know. I mean, if you can,
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 1: if they could keep this up and keep him in
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 1: the mix like this, he'll do very well for himself.
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 1: I don't have a lot of faith in them doing that,
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 1: but you know, the guy was on fire out there.
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 1: He had a great match, and Swerve usually always has
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 1: great matches, So these two work very well together. And
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 1: I do wonder for Swerve what that means for his
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 1: immediate future, Like are they potentially building to maybe a
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 1: Swerve heel turn. You know, is Swerve getting a little
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 1: stale maybe in the current role that he's in. Does
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 1: he need to go back to having that harder edge,
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 1: because really he was at his most interesting when he
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 1: was feuding with him And I do feel like he
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 1: he walks around with a chain every week looking all
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 1: tough and bad ass, but he's lost some of that edge.
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 1: And I don't know if he's not going to be
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 1: in the immediate world title pictures, so like now we
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 1: know he's not wrestling for the title at Revolution, maybe
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 1: they're going to have him wrestling forward a Dynasty because
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 1: Dynasty is the event where he won the championship for
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 1: the first time. Maybe Dynasty is kind of swerves swerve show.
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 1: But in the meantime, like where do you go with him?
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 1: I feel like there's got to be maybe a shift
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 1: in direction as far as his character goes. We weren't
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 1: done yet though. They went backstage after the match, Renee
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 1: was with MJF asking for his thoughts on the match
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 1: next week that he's having with Brody King. He said
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 1: that if that oversized bag of milk with sharpie written
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 1: all over him thinks he has a shot, he's got
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 1: another thing coming. Kenny Omega shows up and he says,
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 1: one more week, one more win, and I'll be seeing
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 1: you at Revolution for the Championship. So he puts his
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 1: hand out. MJF just walks away. As he's walking away,
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 1: he bumps into Andrade, and Androde says, I want to
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 1: slap you right now, because they've been beefing on social
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 1: media and the other d might have been yesterday, but
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 1: the other day Andrade said to him, when I see
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 1: you like, I'm gonna find you when I get to Dynamite,
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 1: when I get to TV and like, I'm gonna punch
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 1: in the face a right, playing off the fact that
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 1: he has literally punched someone in the face backstage in
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 1: the past and it got him into some hot water.
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 1: So they've been beefing on social media. He goes but
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 1: and he looked down at the title around mjf's waist,
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 1: and he just pointed to it and says, I want that.
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 1: So MJF just keeps on walking. He walks right out
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 1: of the building. There's a waiting suv outside. He puts
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 1: his hand on the door. He goes to open the door,
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 1: and someone we can't see who pushes the door shut,
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 1: and then we see that it is Hangman Adam Page,
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 1: and so the two of them share a very brief
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 1: little stare down. MJF quickly gets into the car. He
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 1: yells at the driver to drive off they go, and
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 1: that leaves Hangman with a smirk on his face to
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 1: close the show. So, yet again, as was the case
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 1: last week, the in ring really carried the day. The
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 1: main event was fantastic. I thought the women's match was
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 1: also very good, and really there were a lot of
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 1: matches on this show that were at least good. Those
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 1: are the two standouts for me. The TNT title match
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 1: was good as well, you know, the world title scene. Look,
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 1: I don't really have much else to say about it
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 1: that I haven't already said. It's the most interesting part
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 1: of the show. We got a little bit of progression
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 1: on the Kallus family stuff with those backstage segments Fletcher
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 1: to Keshta. Okay, it's still moving at a glacial pace.
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying give it all away now. I would
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 1: hope and assume this is building to a more proper
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 1: singles match, right, not worried about the Continental Classic or anything,
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 1: but doing it a proper Ocata takeshta match that hopefully
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 1: will be better than what we got last month, and
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 1: doing that in Los Angeles in March, so you know,
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 1: we still have a little bit of time left to go.
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 1: But I don't know, man, this is it's been moving
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 1: at a glacial pace, kind of like punk in the
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 1: main event on Raw Monday Night. That's the last I'll
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 1: say about that. But the other thing I also like.
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 1: I like how they've already set up two big matches
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 1: for the show next week, so we know we're getting
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 1: Kenny Omega and Andrede and a non title We're getting MJF
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 1: and Brodie King and then whoever the young bucks are
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 1: teasing that they're going to be wrestling, but those are
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 1: two big matches right right away that we already know
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 1: for now next week. So I liked it. I like
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 1: the show this week. Take a look at the pole.
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 1: What did you think of Dynamite from Texas? Fifty seven
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 1: percent thumbs up for tonight's show, eighteen point eight percent
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 1: thumbs in the middle, and twenty four percent thumbs down
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 1: at Solo Monster on x is where you guys can
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 1: go to vote in the poll. But you already knew that.
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 1: You already knew that. Let's get to your super chats
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 1: right now. Cmsloth, Yeah, it was. It was not great.
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 1: What are you gonna do? We're three hundred and eighty likes.
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 1: Remember the goal is four thirty two, So Saith the
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 1: wheel Bender mc simpsons is great. Main event. Tony com
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 1: better have some big plans for Andrade if he is
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 1: going to have him beat Swerve, well, I mean the
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 1: big plan is to have him lose to Kenny Omega.
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 1: The key is what happens after that. He was super
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 1: over on the show tonight so like if that were
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 1: to continue, Yeah, he definitely needs to be featured in
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 1: a more prominent way. He can't just be, you know,
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 1: another background player in the Callus family. You know, number
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 1: number six or number four in the Callous family. Well, now,
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 1: fifteen dollars super Chat, Shampa and aw will be absolutely
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 1: sick awesome debut. Side note, it's time for me to
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 1: simp for stardom again. Next week February seventh, Supreme Fight
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 1: on pay per view. Love you Solo, still the best
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 1: of what you do? Thank you brother. Yes, Stardom startom.
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 1: I didn't get to check out too much of Stardom
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 1: last year, but last year they had a very good
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 1: year business wise. I think they actually might have They
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 1: might have generated more money than New Japan did for
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 1: Bushy road Right, they had that big show in was
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 1: it April where they had like seven thousand plus people.
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 1: Linklex says, what is Rocky Romero's finishing move? Fuck you
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 1: asking me for the How am I supposed to know?
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 1: He never wins his matches, he never has a chance
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 1: to hit one. I don't think he has a finishing move.
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 1: You know, when you lose all your I think losing
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 1: I think is his finishing move. He hit it again tonight.
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 1: Phil says, Hi solo. Did you know that the original
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 1: title for john Wick was called Scorn, but Keanu kept
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 1: accidentally calling it john Wick during interviews to the studio
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 1: renamed it. Is that true? It's actually funny if that's true.
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 1: I didn't know that. Roscoe P. Coltrane, thank you for
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 1: the two ninety nine Australian Arabian Night says damn, how
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 1: much was Jericho making all these signings? I'm telling you man,
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 1: how much money came off the books from that one
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 1: fucking contract. Tony Kahan must have loved Black and Gold.
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 1: He signed like eighty five percent of that man's division.
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 1: Is Gargano next, well, depending on what his contract is up,
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 1: he may well be that the rate things are going.
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 1: Devin from NJ says, buy er sell big head signs
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 1: at wrestling shows. Uh, yeah, we gotta we gotta burn those.
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 1: We gotta burn the big heads unless I see my
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 1: big head. If someone wants to bring a big solo
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 1: monster head, I'll accept that. But yeah, these these these
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 1: big heads it shows, they have to be burned. Andre
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 1: Jefferson ten dollars super chat. It's great to see Shampa
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 1: sign with a W and not the don Kallis family.
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 1: A great debut and hope Tony Kahan does great with him.
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 1: I'm really starting to think Sean Michaels was the brains
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 1: behind NXT and not Triple H. Well look at me,
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 1: Seawan Michaels. If you're talking about Black and Gold, Shawn
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 1: Michaels had no creatively anyway. He had no connection, no
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 1: role within that Triple H had you know, people writing
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 1: it wasn't like everything was his idea, but no, it
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 1: was him who oversaw that period. He was trying to
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 1: build his own super indie and b Needler. I haven't
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 1: seen you before, but your insight changes wrestling. I think
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 1: that's a compliment. I'll take it as one. I think,
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 1: thank you, brother, I appreciate it. We just refresh this
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 1: and make sure I got everybody here so I don't
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 1: leave nobody out. We got a few more, Alex says
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 1: brother solo. Buy rent cell on your favorite RVD match
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 1: against Jericho at Unforgiven, oh one? Seen a One Night Stand?
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 1: Oh six? Or against Angle and Austin at No Mercy,
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 1: Oh one? Much love? Man? You know I haven't seen
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 1: that No Mercy match in a long time. I kind
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 1: of want to go with that one, but I don't.
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 1: Oh Man, I did Jericho one also at Unforgiven, I don't.
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 1: I remember that being really good, but i'd have to
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 1: go back and rewatch it. I'll go with the One
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 1: night Stand. I don't think the actual match a one
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 1: night Stand was anything special, but just for the you know,
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 1: the atmosphere and the building that night and everything, it
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 1: was a special match. I'll buy on that one. I'll
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 1: rent on the match with Angle and Austin, and I'll
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 1: sell on the Jericho one Chicago for MBK. Champa has
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 1: a great entrance and that's all for tonight. His song
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 1: is quite great. And Carl Winslow, yes, the Carl Winslow
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 1: apparently is with us, says, be the booker hell Miss
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 1: versus Evil, Oh my god in a Punjabi prison match. Yeah,
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 1: you know that's right. I have to add Evil now.
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 1: I guess he once he debuts in WWE, I'll have
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 1: to add him to be the booker. But I have
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 1: to wait to see what his name is if they
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 1: if they change his gimmick, I'm telling you we're gonna
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 1: we're gonna have good is going to be debuting. I
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 1: did see something where WWE I think trademarked the name sinister.
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 1: I don't know if that's a legitimate trade mark filing
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 1: that they made. That might give us some insight into
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 1: what his new name will be. Super pony Our, Kevin Owens,
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 1: sammy's Ain, and Finn Valley are going to be the
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 1: only Black and Gold talents that never signed with AW
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 1: or will one of them one day sign there. I
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 1: don't think any of them will sign with AW. That
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 1: is that is just my my belief. I don't think
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 1: it's gonna happen. And Side of the Ham for twenty
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 1: says I went to AW in Orlando on January twenty first,
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 1: and somebody had a Solo Monster sign. I didn't ask
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 1: him about it since I had to pee, but it
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 1: was cool to see. Well, yeah, that probably was that
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 1: was last week. I was, yeah, that was last week's show.
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 1: That was probably Rekinson. Yeah, Recanson had the it wasn't
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 1: the solo Monster Baybay sign? Yeah? He always he tries
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 1: to bring it to the shows in Orlando. He used
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 1: to bring it to like Daily's place. I think Daily's
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 1: place is. Do I have this right? I think I
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 1: read somewhere that Daily's Place is being renovated, so it's closed.
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 1: They're not going to be able to run it for
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 1: a few years. I thought I had read that somewhere. Yeah,
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 1: I mean again, I saw some somebody posted an image
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 1: of a trademark filing for Sinister, which I think is legit,
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 1: And you would assume that if it just so happens
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 1: that the rumors are that they're going to sign some
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 1: guy named Evil, so you just put two and two together,
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 1: that may end up being his new name. Anyway, we
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 1: did hit the special goal tonight, which was four hundred
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 1: and thirty two likes. We are currently four thirty seven.
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 1: See the wheel tried to defeat you all, but as
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 1: you can and see, the wheel did not win you
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 1: guys did. So let's go ahead and be the booker.
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen. It is now time to be the booker.
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 1: Dailies is down for a while. Yeah, see, I thought
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 1: I had heard that. I guess there'll be no Dailies
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 1: place shows for a few years. That's all right, all right,
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 1: here we go. We get one shot at this. We
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 1: got to make it a good one. Did you not
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 1: hear what I said? I said, we have to make
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 1: it a good one. We land on miss and our Truth.
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 1: Oh god, this is when this is when they uh
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 1: de unify the tag Belts. I think, what a terrible
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 1: decision that was, What an awful decision that was. And
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 1: I said it at the time, I said, this is
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 1: this is probably not going to end well. And look
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 1: at the state of the tag team divisions right now
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 1: on Raw and SmackDown Garbage, Absolute Garbagems and Our Truth.
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 1: They're going to defend those titles. Well now business has
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 1: picked up. If there's any justice in this wrestling world,
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 1: these two men will be part of the Hall of
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 1: Fame class of twenty twenty six. Because I don't see
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 1: them flying out to Saudi Arabia next year. You gotta
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 1: get it done this year. Acts and Smash Demolition put
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 1: them in the Hall. Do with the writers did not
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 1: have the or the voters or whoever votes in the
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 1: NFL one did not have the balls to do with
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 1: Bill Belichick put Demolition in the Hall of Fame. Women's
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 1: be the booker. We have Deanna Parrazzo, who I believe
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 1: is a What title does she have? Is she the
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 1: pure Champion? The Ring of Honor? Women's Pure Champion. Here
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 1: in this image she was the Impact Knockouts Champion, A
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 1: fine choice. Deanna Piazza will be defending that title against Naomi,
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 1: also a former champion. This is not the best version
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 1: of Naomi. Though best version of Naomi was the version
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 1: that we got before she had to leave. She had
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 1: more important things to tend to. She is the pure Champion, Okay,
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 1: that's what I thought, the inaugural Ring of Honor Women's
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 1: Pure Champion. So basically, Tony created a belt to give
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 1: her something to do because he was doing nothing with her.
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 1: Very good, all right, it's main event and guess who
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 1: it is everybody. He has sent morse code to let
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 1: us know that he was going to be and be
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 1: the booker tonight. So this was not unannounced. Actually I
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 1: opened my fortune cookie the other night and there was
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 1: a message from him in the fortune cookie that said,
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 1: I will be appearing and be the booker. It is
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 1: the OTC. Roman Reigns has graced us with his presence.
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 1: He will be defending his championship there in that image
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 1: against mankind, Roman Reigns and Mankind. That'd be a fine Matt.
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 1: I think that she would be a very good match.
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 1: Where is Lisa that she go crazy? Asa is probably
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 1: just sitting outside of his house right now. She's got
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 1: binoculars on the seat next to her. She's waiting to
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 1: get a glimpse Roman reigns in Mankind. I like that. Well,
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 1: I'm glad I was able to give you guys a
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 1: clean sweep. Since we only have the one round tonight,
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 1: at least we made it a good one. Didn't Naomi
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 1: defeat Diana Piazzo with a knockouts title? You're asking the
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 1: wrong person. Somebody in the chat will have to answer
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 1: that for me, because my answer is, I don't know.
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 1: Mankind elevates literally anyone he is in the ring with. Well,
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 1: he was in the ring with Al Snow, and I
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 1: wouldn't say that there was a lot of elevation going
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 1: on there. He was in the ring with Al s
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 1: though he was in the ring with Valvenus. I wouldn't
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 1: say everybody, but yes, most of the people that he
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 1: worked with, most of the people that they intentionally had
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 1: him work with who they wanted to push to a
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 1: level higher than him, so they put them in the
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 1: ring with Mick. He did his job. He helped elevate
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 1: them and for Undertaker, I still maintain he is Undertaker's
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 1: greatest rival. I've answered that question a couple of times before.
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 1: People think, oh, it's Kaine, it's Shawn Michaels. No it's not.
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 1: It's Mankind. Mankind was the first like he was the
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 1: first one truly to come along where it felt like
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 1: he was the Undertaker's equal and the Undertaker could not
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 1: figure this man out multiple matches, over multiple pay per views.
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 1: His greatest rival is Mankind. Anyway, thank you guys for
• 1:25:38

• 1:25:56
