AEW Dynamite 9/3/25 Review | Tony Khan MOVES ALL OUT And OMG They Killed Kenny Again! · Solomonster Sounds Off

0:01
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness. The don Kallis family all over the
0:04
Speaker 1: show tonight, which is what happens when you have most
0:07
Speaker 1: of the roster under your tutelage. They of course were
0:11
Speaker 1: in the final segment on the show, but they were
0:13
Speaker 1: in multiple segments here on this episode of Dynamite. You
0:16
Speaker 1: know who was not on this episode of Dynamite, That
0:19
Speaker 1: guy right there. Two weeks now, it's been two weeks
0:23
Speaker 1: since we saw the return of Wardlow at Forbidden Door.
0:29
Speaker 1: He didn't really do much on the show last week,
0:32
Speaker 1: not much of a follow up to his big return
0:34
Speaker 1: after a year and a half. So tonight he wasn't
0:38
Speaker 1: there at all. He wasn't even in the background. He
0:41
Speaker 1: went from being the background noise to no noise at all.
0:45
Speaker 1: So if you happen to see this man walking down
0:48
Speaker 1: the street, if you happen to see him walking down
0:50
Speaker 1: the side of the road, please call your local authorities
0:54
Speaker 1: and alert them. They would really very much like to
0:57
Speaker 1: know where this man is. Where is Wardlow? No one knows.
1:03
Speaker 1: We'll leave that there in case somebody recognizes him. Maybe
1:06
Speaker 1: they'll chime in. It also looks like they have written
1:11
Speaker 1: Kenny Omega off of television based on the angle they
1:14
Speaker 1: did at the end of Dynamite Here tonight. Kenny Omega,
1:19
Speaker 1: you know, there's been some talk about him maybe being
1:21
Speaker 1: a little beaten up. Dave Melter made it out to
1:24
Speaker 1: sound like he was very beaten up, and I think
1:26
Speaker 1: Kenny chimed in on social media and said, well, you know,
1:29
Speaker 1: everybody is beaten up to some extent. He tried, he
1:33
Speaker 1: kind of tried to play it down a little bit.
1:35
Speaker 1: So I don't know if there's any particular injury that
1:37
Speaker 1: this man is dealing with or not, but he certainly
1:41
Speaker 1: didn't show any signs of an injury in the eight
1:43
Speaker 1: man tag team made event tonite. But when the match
1:45
Speaker 1: was over, Kenny Omega had a neck brace around his neck.
1:49
Speaker 1: He was all laid out outside the ring after one
1:52
Speaker 1: Kyle Fletcher put him, planted him, threw a table outside
1:56
Speaker 1: the ring with a souplex, and it certainly, I mean,
2:00
Speaker 1: the impression that I got, you know, watching the end
2:02
Speaker 1: of the show tonight, was that we are not going
2:05
Speaker 1: to be seeing Kenny Omega for quite a while potentially,
2:09
Speaker 1: So he disappeared after his loss to Okada at all.
2:15
Speaker 1: In we didn't see him again until Forbidden Door, when
2:18
Speaker 1: he showed up to be a part of the big
2:20
Speaker 1: lights out steel cage match, and now it looks like
2:23
Speaker 1: he's gone again. The Roman reigns of AAW. He shows up,
2:30
Speaker 1: there's an inevitable injury angle, he gets the shit kicked
2:34
Speaker 1: out of him, and then we don't see him for
2:35
Speaker 1: a while. That seems to be the story of Kenny
2:38
Speaker 1: Omega here in AAW. But you know, last week we
2:40
Speaker 1: were wondering which member of the Don Kallis family are
2:44
Speaker 1: they setting up for a championship match with Hangman Page
2:47
Speaker 1: in Toronto at all out, because that was the direction
2:50
Speaker 1: that they went in, and realistically it could really only
2:53
Speaker 1: be one of three names. Either Kyle Fletcher, who's the
2:56
Speaker 1: TNT champion, Kazuska Okata who's the unified champion that seems
3:02
Speaker 1: very unlikely, or the one member who does not have
3:05
Speaker 1: a championship, which is Kenoski Takeshta, And I was thinking, well,
3:10
Speaker 1: takesha is the one that would seem to make the
3:12
Speaker 1: most sense in this equation. After tonight, it appears that
3:17
Speaker 1: we got our answer. It looks like Kyle Fletcher is
3:21
Speaker 1: certainly for Toronto. It looks like being set up for
3:25
Speaker 1: a championship match against Hangman Adam Page based on the
3:28
Speaker 1: angle they did with Fletcher and Omega at the end there,
3:32
Speaker 1: and then he was talking some smack to Hangman. That's
3:34
Speaker 1: how the show went off the air. So it appears
3:37
Speaker 1: that Fletcher is going to be the chosen one again.
3:39
Speaker 1: Just based on what we saw tonight, it looks like
3:42
Speaker 1: he's going to be the chosen one for that spot.
3:44
Speaker 1: You know. My thought on this, I mentioned this actually
3:48
Speaker 1: on TNT last night, but maya idea was, I don't
3:52
Speaker 1: know that there needs to be an aw World Championship
3:56
Speaker 1: match at all Out if they don't have a real
3:59
Speaker 1: suitable anger in mind for Hangman. Clearly they want to
4:02
Speaker 1: get away from the MJF stuff for a little bit
4:04
Speaker 1: and then they'll circle back around to it. Kyle Fletcher
4:08
Speaker 1: is the TNT champion, you know, Kyle Fletcher has been
4:10
Speaker 1: the TNT champion now for somewhere around maybe a month, right,
4:15
Speaker 1: not that long. And it's just a weird thing to
4:18
Speaker 1: me now that you're gonna slot him in a potential
4:21
Speaker 1: World Championship match here at all Out. It just doesn't
4:24
Speaker 1: seem necessary to me. Why not do a tag team match?
4:28
Speaker 1: Why not save Kenny Omega? If he is all beat up,
4:31
Speaker 1: save him for Toronto, because you know in Canada they
4:33
Speaker 1: would love to see Kenny Omega. And I mean, I
4:37
Speaker 1: suppose it's possible he can make his grand return on
4:39
Speaker 1: TV before then and actually have a match on that show.
4:43
Speaker 1: But I'm just saying, you know, based on the angle
4:44
Speaker 1: that we saw here, this this felt to me like
4:47
Speaker 1: their way of writing him off to where he may
4:50
Speaker 1: not even be on the All Out show. Maybe I'm wrong.
4:52
Speaker 1: Maybe he'll be back in two weeks and then they'll
4:54
Speaker 1: set up Fletcher and Omega one on one in Toronto.
4:57
Speaker 1: But let's assume that's not gonna happen. Why not do
5:00
Speaker 1: Omega and Hangman in a tag team match? Been so
5:03
Speaker 1: long since we've seen them as tag team partners against
5:06
Speaker 1: the Kallus family, but against Kazuchka Okada and Kenoski Takeshta
5:12
Speaker 1: because they have been teasing dissension. They've been teasing issues
5:15
Speaker 1: between Okada and Takesha. First of all, you get a
5:18
Speaker 1: great tag team match out of it. That's number one.
5:21
Speaker 1: Number two, you could potentially then set up for a
5:23
Speaker 1: World Championship match at wrestl Dream between Hangman and Takesha.
5:28
Speaker 1: The following month, but you continue to play into these
5:31
Speaker 1: issues between Okada, who obviously has history with Omegas, so
5:35
Speaker 1: putting them in the ring together makes sense. But the
5:38
Speaker 1: issues with Okada and Takesha can be furthered. So you know,
5:42
Speaker 1: in my mind, I'm like, man, you know what I
5:44
Speaker 1: could buy into that that would be a great attraction
5:46
Speaker 1: for that show. They obviously felt differently. They wanted to
5:49
Speaker 1: go a different way with it. And look, if this
5:52
Speaker 1: is what we are going to get, if we are
5:55
Speaker 1: in fact going to get Kyle Fletcher and Hang Page
6:01
Speaker 1: and not Kyle Fletcher and Kenny Omeg at all Out,
6:04
Speaker 1: It's even if he does wrestle Kenny Omega at all Out,
6:07
Speaker 1: it's a great spot right for Kyle Fletcher to be in.
6:10
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that. If you're Kyle Fletcher, you're fucking
6:12
Speaker 1: loving this because you either get to work with Kenny
6:14
Speaker 1: Omega or Hangman Page for the world championship. So it's
6:18
Speaker 1: a great spot for him to be in, you know,
6:20
Speaker 1: as the TNT champion going in there and challenging for
6:23
Speaker 1: the world title. I will not object to them wanting
6:27
Speaker 1: to throw a spotlight on Kyle Fletcher because he is
6:30
Speaker 1: one of their you know, obviously their their marquee rising
6:34
Speaker 1: young stars in the company that they've created here. So
6:37
Speaker 1: that was how Dynamite went off the air tonight with
6:40
Speaker 1: that angle at the end of their eight man tag
6:42
Speaker 1: team match. Another all Star eight man tag team match.
6:44
Speaker 1: We're getting an all Star women's tag team match on
6:47
Speaker 1: Collision this weekend. We get them every week. Darby Allen
6:50
Speaker 1: continues to make life a living hell for the Death Riders,
6:54
Speaker 1: as the Death Riders have made life a living hell
6:56
Speaker 1: for all of us for almost a year, so he
6:59
Speaker 1: can continues to be a thorn in the side of
7:01
Speaker 1: John Moxley. Is he still is trying to get that
7:03
Speaker 1: match with Moxley. You know, they are obviously going to
7:09
Speaker 1: be building to this in Toronto, but Moxley still has
7:12
Speaker 1: not said yes to the challenge that Darby is laid out.
7:15
Speaker 1: So everywhere Moxley goes, Darby is not far behind. So
7:18
Speaker 1: they furthered that story, and actually he helped cost the
7:21
Speaker 1: Death Riders possibly the aw tag team titles that they
7:25
Speaker 1: challenge for tonight. Mercedes Monette, she has a challenger for
7:30
Speaker 1: all Out Wait until you find out who it is,
7:33
Speaker 1: you'll never guess, but she has a challenger for All Out,
7:37
Speaker 1: the Women's World Champion, Tony Storm as of yet does not.
7:41
Speaker 1: In fact, the only bit of Tony Storm that we
7:43
Speaker 1: had on the show tonight was her basically begging somebody
7:47
Speaker 1: to step up and challenge her for the championships. So
7:50
Speaker 1: it's still an open question as far as who that
7:53
Speaker 1: person is going to be. But Mercedes does in fact
7:56
Speaker 1: have an opponent now for that show. What we got
7:59
Speaker 1: on doneah tonight. We had three good matches on this show.
8:03
Speaker 1: We had a TBS title match between Mercedes, Monet and
8:07
Speaker 1: and Alex Windsor that was very good. We had a
8:11
Speaker 1: tag team title match first defense for Brody King and
8:15
Speaker 1: Bendido against Claudio and Wheeler You. And we had the
8:19
Speaker 1: all star eight man tag team main event, the big
8:21
Speaker 1: party match of the night. So those are your three
8:25
Speaker 1: good matches here on this card, and lots of chaos
8:27
Speaker 1: between what happened in the opening segment. There was chaos
8:31
Speaker 1: in the segment involving Cope and Christian and FTR we
8:34
Speaker 1: already know their matches official for the pay per view,
8:37
Speaker 1: and then the insanity that we had their postmatch here
8:40
Speaker 1: at the end of the show. Far as All Out
8:43
Speaker 1: is concerned. We had two more matches made official for
8:46
Speaker 1: that show, one of which is a TBS title match.
8:48
Speaker 1: The other is Ricochet in the Gates of Agony. They
8:50
Speaker 1: threw down the gauntlet to the Hurt Syndicate and MVP accepted.
8:55
Speaker 1: So that's going to be a trios match that we
8:57
Speaker 1: now know is happening in Toronto. And we don't know
9:00
Speaker 1: about the world title match, but it seems likely that
9:04
Speaker 1: we know who the challenger now is going to be,
9:07
Speaker 1: so as far as the pay per view is concerned,
9:09
Speaker 1: those were the key developments coming out of the show tonight,
9:13
Speaker 1: but as far as the pay per view goes, that
9:16
Speaker 1: was hardly the only development. We had some big news
9:19
Speaker 1: today and before I even get into all the different
9:23
Speaker 1: goings on here from the show itself, and I'll expand
9:28
Speaker 1: more on this on the sound Off this weekend, but
9:31
Speaker 1: I have to mention this because it broke today and
9:33
Speaker 1: it was major news on the aw front. It is official.
9:38
Speaker 1: Tony Khan blinked. Tony Khan has made the only move
9:41
Speaker 1: that Tony Khan could possibly make in this situation. If
9:44
Speaker 1: he was going to do something, it was the only
9:47
Speaker 1: move that made sense. I'm actually kind of surprised that
9:49
Speaker 1: he did it now that we're a few weeks out.
9:53
Speaker 1: But Tony Khan went and has moved the start time
9:56
Speaker 1: for All Out, one of his signature annual shows that
10:00
Speaker 1: he is already locked in eight pm Eastern in Toronto
10:03
Speaker 1: at the Scotia Bank Arena, he has moved the start
10:06
Speaker 1: time of the show up by five hours. Instead of
10:09
Speaker 1: eight pm Eastern time, the main card will now begin
10:12
Speaker 1: at three pm Eastern time. You would assume then that
10:15
Speaker 1: means that the pre show is starting either at one
10:18
Speaker 1: or one thirty in the afternoon. It's going to be
10:22
Speaker 1: a long day of wrestling, especially if you want to
10:25
Speaker 1: try to catch all of it. It's going to be
10:27
Speaker 1: a very long day of wrestling. So that was made
10:32
Speaker 1: official today and obviously the reason for that, no matter
10:35
Speaker 1: what anybody tries to tell you, I did see a
10:37
Speaker 1: note from Fightful Select that said that people within AAW
10:42
Speaker 1: Let me see if I can find the quote here.
10:43
Speaker 1: It was a matter of people in AW sources saying
10:47
Speaker 1: that the success of Forbidden Door being in the afternoon
10:51
Speaker 1: helped contribute to the decision to move the All Out
10:54
Speaker 1: car Well, I may have contributed in some small way,
10:58
Speaker 1: but we know why the show was the show was
11:01
Speaker 1: moved so that it is no longer in direct head
11:03
Speaker 1: to head competition with WWE Wrestled Paloozo because WWE is
11:08
Speaker 1: starting the ESPN Era, They're going to make a big splash,
11:11
Speaker 1: and they are trying to drown out AW on one
11:14
Speaker 1: of their signature weekends of the year. And Tony Kahn
11:18
Speaker 1: really did not have any other move to make here
11:20
Speaker 1: other than to move his show to a different time
11:23
Speaker 1: so there would be very little overlap between the two
11:26
Speaker 1: shows that he could have left it alone if he
11:28
Speaker 1: wanted to and said, you know what, fuck you, I
11:30
Speaker 1: was there first, and I'm not moving my show because
11:33
Speaker 1: it sets a bad precedent now for the future, where
11:36
Speaker 1: what's he gonna do. Is he gonna move future shows
11:38
Speaker 1: as well? Is this going to be a regular recurring
11:41
Speaker 1: thing where Tony is going to be forced to announce
11:43
Speaker 1: something and then move his show. He's not going to
11:45
Speaker 1: want to do that. So I could see where people
11:48
Speaker 1: would think that it's a bad precedent to set. But
11:52
Speaker 1: in this case, if I were in his shoes, I
11:56
Speaker 1: might have done it a little sooner, but I would
11:58
Speaker 1: have made the same move because as much as the
12:01
Speaker 1: AW diehard fans are are very loyal to AW and
12:05
Speaker 1: they will be watching All Out no matter what. There
12:09
Speaker 1: is a lot of overlap between the two audiences. You
12:11
Speaker 1: do have a lot of fans who are going to
12:13
Speaker 1: be forced to choose if they want to watch one
12:15
Speaker 1: show live over the other, and then they try to
12:18
Speaker 1: avoid spoilers so nothing gets spoiled. So you know, for
12:21
Speaker 1: some people it's an important decision to make. I can
12:24
Speaker 1: only watch one live and I want to just focus
12:27
Speaker 1: my attention on one. Which one do I choose? And
12:30
Speaker 1: there are going to be people who were going to
12:32
Speaker 1: choose the WWE show. In this case, he is taking
12:35
Speaker 1: away the head to head competition and saying, you know what,
12:38
Speaker 1: we'll get an early start. We'll jump out first, and
12:41
Speaker 1: what we'll try to do is put on a show
12:44
Speaker 1: that makes you not want to flip the channel because
12:47
Speaker 1: by the time they get to the latter portion of
12:50
Speaker 1: the All Out Show, WWE is already going to be starting.
12:53
Speaker 1: There's no way, there's no way the AW show is
12:57
Speaker 1: going to be over when the WWE show. The WA
13:00
Speaker 1: show starts at seven o'clock Eastern, not eight to seven
13:03
Speaker 1: pm start. This is an AW pay per view. You
13:07
Speaker 1: honestly believe that that show is going to be over
13:09
Speaker 1: at seven o'clock. Of course not, but if they're in
13:13
Speaker 1: the middle of a major match, if they could time
13:15
Speaker 1: it just right, maybe the main event is on and
13:18
Speaker 1: they're and they're putting together a kick ass show. Maybe
13:21
Speaker 1: there are some people who will not want to flip
13:23
Speaker 1: away from that, right, So that's that's the only real
13:26
Speaker 1: competition that we'll have between those two shows that night.
13:30
Speaker 1: In my opinion, AW afternoon shows are much better. I
13:35
Speaker 1: prefer the AW afternoon shows. Tony Kahn loves putting on
13:39
Speaker 1: these marathon shows. He loves just stockpiling these shows with
13:44
Speaker 1: as many matches as he can possibly give you. Every
13:47
Speaker 1: time that he puts on a pay per view, he
13:51
Speaker 1: wants to give you the best pay per view that
13:53
Speaker 1: you've ever seen in your entire life. And that's that's
13:56
Speaker 1: a noble goal to have. But what we end up
13:59
Speaker 1: with these marathon shows, and you know what, if you're
14:03
Speaker 1: gonna have a marathon show four hours, five hours. They
14:07
Speaker 1: had a show a few months ago that was five
14:09
Speaker 1: and a half hours. If you are going to do that,
14:13
Speaker 1: it is much better to do it at three o'clock
14:15
Speaker 1: in the afternoon or one o'clock in the afternoon than
14:19
Speaker 1: it is to first start that show at eight o'clock
14:21
Speaker 1: at night, because whether I was doing this show or
14:24
Speaker 1: I'm just watching as a fan and nothing more, that's
14:27
Speaker 1: too long. I'm sorry, it's too long to first start
14:31
Speaker 1: a show like that at eight o'clock and then at
14:33
Speaker 1: twelve thirty in the morning it's still going. And I
14:36
Speaker 1: know it's happened before because I've had to push reviews
14:39
Speaker 1: back until almost one o'clock in the morning because of
14:41
Speaker 1: this shit. So on a personal level, I favor the
14:45
Speaker 1: afternoon shows. I find them to be more tolerable that way.
14:49
Speaker 1: For me as a fan and as a content creator,
14:52
Speaker 1: what it means now is that I will be able
14:54
Speaker 1: to watch aw wall Out live for the most part.
14:58
Speaker 1: I'll be able to watch that show live and get
15:00
Speaker 1: most of that done and then switch over to the
15:03
Speaker 1: WWE show, and then go live that night to cover
15:06
Speaker 1: the WWE show, and then the next day I have
15:09
Speaker 1: the sound off that I record and I can cover
15:12
Speaker 1: all out on the podcast. So for me personally, it
15:15
Speaker 1: makes my life a little bit easier than it would
15:17
Speaker 1: have been if we had the head to head competition.
15:19
Speaker 1: It's just the nature of when the podcast drops. You know,
15:22
Speaker 1: my show drops on Sundays every week, so fuck me.
15:26
Speaker 1: If we had to do this head to head shit
15:29
Speaker 1: on a Saturday night, yeah, it's going to be a problem.
15:32
Speaker 1: So I love it. I'm glad that he made this move.
15:36
Speaker 1: A little surprised that he did. I thought he was
15:37
Speaker 1: going to stay the course, But I think it was
15:40
Speaker 1: the right move to make. It's the right move to
15:42
Speaker 1: make if you're someone like me. Maybe it's the right
15:45
Speaker 1: move to make if you're in the same boat with
15:47
Speaker 1: me and you prefer the afternoon shows. However, that is
15:51
Speaker 1: not necessarily true for everybody who is going to either
15:53
Speaker 1: be watching the show or more importantly, be in attendance
15:56
Speaker 1: at the show, because there are some people who are
15:59
Speaker 1: going to be fucked by this move. Tony kh had
16:03
Speaker 1: already moved in excess. I think of ten or eleven
16:05
Speaker 1: thousand tickets for this pay per view, Like the advance
16:11
Speaker 1: on that show is very strong. There are people who
16:14
Speaker 1: were planning to be at all out. Maybe they were
16:18
Speaker 1: gonna go with friends or whatever the case may be,
16:22
Speaker 1: and they were going to an eight o'clock show. All
16:24
Speaker 1: of a sudden, Tony Kah says, you know what, we're
16:27
Speaker 1: gonna move that up five hours. Not everybody who bought
16:30
Speaker 1: a ticket is going to be able to go to
16:31
Speaker 1: the show, or maybe now they're going to have to
16:33
Speaker 1: cancel this. They're going to have to rearrange that. Now.
16:35
Speaker 1: Imagine if you don't live in Toronto, if you're elsewhere
16:39
Speaker 1: in Canada, if you're not even in Canada, you're in
16:41
Speaker 1: the US, you're flying to Canada for the show, You've
16:44
Speaker 1: already booked your airfare, You've already booked your hotel. Like,
16:47
Speaker 1: you're fucked. You're fucked. You've got to figure something out now.
16:50
Speaker 1: And I sympathize with those people. Those people have every
16:53
Speaker 1: right to be upset by this move. You were never
16:56
Speaker 1: going to be able to please everyone by moving the show.
17:00
Speaker 1: For me, I love it. For those people, it sucks
17:03
Speaker 1: to be you, and you have every right to be
17:05
Speaker 1: upset about that. But Tony Kahan made what he felt
17:08
Speaker 1: was going to be the best decision he could make
17:11
Speaker 1: for business, and for business, he did not want to
17:15
Speaker 1: go head to head with not just the WWE show,
17:17
Speaker 1: but they're loading that show up, you know, intentionally loading
17:21
Speaker 1: that show up. And because it's the first ESPN show.
17:25
Speaker 1: That's what all the stories are going to be about,
17:27
Speaker 1: and the whole weekend is going to be about that.
17:30
Speaker 1: So he just felt, you know what's it's in our
17:32
Speaker 1: best interest to move this show, and in the best
17:34
Speaker 1: interest of some of our fans to move the show,
17:37
Speaker 1: but not all of his fans. So it cuts both ways,
17:40
Speaker 1: and I totally understand why some of those people would
17:42
Speaker 1: be upset. Now, the other element here is that not
17:47
Speaker 1: only is this show being bumped up to three o'clock
17:49
Speaker 1: Eastern Time, but it will be the first AW pay
17:52
Speaker 1: per view. Finally, after all the months of talk and
17:55
Speaker 1: waiting and waiting and waiting for some kind of update
17:58
Speaker 1: on HBO Max, going all the way back to last fall,
18:02
Speaker 1: the first AW pay per view that will be streaming
18:05
Speaker 1: live on HBO Max will be all out. You will
18:08
Speaker 1: have the ability via Max to buy the pay per view.
18:12
Speaker 1: Keyword there is by This is not a peacock situation
18:15
Speaker 1: where you just open the app and boom, it's there
18:17
Speaker 1: and that's it. You will have to pay for the show. Now,
18:21
Speaker 1: that was always going to be the case. That's not
18:23
Speaker 1: a shock. It might be a disappointment to some people,
18:25
Speaker 1: but you can't say if you've been paying attention. You
18:28
Speaker 1: can't say, oh, I was surprised by this, Like we
18:31
Speaker 1: already knew you were gonna have to pay for the show.
18:33
Speaker 1: AW is not out of the pay per view business.
18:36
Speaker 1: Pay per view is still the lifeblood of this company. Clearly,
18:40
Speaker 1: you know, domestically week to week it's not their attendance,
18:44
Speaker 1: but as far as pay per views, they still rely
18:46
Speaker 1: on that pay per view income. Tony Kan just had
18:48
Speaker 1: a ring of honor pay per view last week where
18:50
Speaker 1: shit went sideways with the stream and he opted to
18:52
Speaker 1: put the second half of the show up on YouTube
18:55
Speaker 1: and stream it for free on YouTube, which was a
18:58
Speaker 1: very cool move on his part. By his own admission,
19:01
Speaker 1: he claims he did that even though he was going
19:04
Speaker 1: to lose hundreds of thousands of dollars. That's what he claims.
19:08
Speaker 1: That's that's for a ring of honor pay per view.
19:11
Speaker 1: The AW pay per views are the ones that really
19:12
Speaker 1: make money. There's still a pay per view business. I know,
19:17
Speaker 1: pay per view is kind of an antiquated model at
19:19
Speaker 1: this point. We just had Mark Shapiro of TKO talking
19:22
Speaker 1: about how pay per view is dead. We made this
19:24
Speaker 1: deal to move UFC over to Paramount plause pay per
19:27
Speaker 1: views a thing of the past. Then Dana White came
19:30
Speaker 1: out and basically contradicted it and said that we might
19:32
Speaker 1: still do some pay per views, but it is it
19:35
Speaker 1: is an antiquated model, right. Pay per view is not
19:38
Speaker 1: what it was thirty years ago. But they rely on that,
19:42
Speaker 1: and I understand that it may be a necessary evil
19:45
Speaker 1: for them. What I was waiting to find out is
19:48
Speaker 1: what would be the discounted price, because there has to
19:50
Speaker 1: be some sort of you know, appeal when it comes
19:54
Speaker 1: to HBO Max that would make you want to watch
19:57
Speaker 1: the show there as opposed to wherever else you normally
20:00
Speaker 1: only would watch these shows. Now, for me, it's YouTube.
20:03
Speaker 1: They've been offering the pay per views through YouTube. I've
20:06
Speaker 1: opted to just buy them through there. Some people watch
20:08
Speaker 1: them on Triller, some people watch them on Amazon Prime.
20:13
Speaker 1: I know PPV dot com. You can still watch it there,
20:16
Speaker 1: and there's a few other ways that you can watch
20:18
Speaker 1: these shows. So and by the way, the shows will
20:21
Speaker 1: still be available on all of those platforms. They're not
20:23
Speaker 1: going away, but you will have to pay fifty bucks
20:26
Speaker 1: at least in this country. I don't know how it
20:28
Speaker 1: is elsewhere, but you will have to pay fifty bucks,
20:32
Speaker 1: So what are they going to charge to watch it
20:33
Speaker 1: through HBO Max. To me, the sweet spot was around
20:38
Speaker 1: thirty bucks. You would save twenty dollars per pay per view.
20:42
Speaker 1: Obviously I wish it was lower than that, but I thought,
20:45
Speaker 1: you know, thirty thirty is reasonable. Thirty would be like
20:48
Speaker 1: a real discount. Although for this first show we just
20:51
Speaker 1: got we just had a whole discussion about this, and
20:53
Speaker 1: I brought this up on TNT last night. For this
20:55
Speaker 1: first show, I would have thrown like as a fuck
20:58
Speaker 1: you to WWE, Like I didn't even know that Tony
21:02
Speaker 1: was going to move the showtime. My thought was, you
21:05
Speaker 1: throw that pay per view on there for free, just
21:08
Speaker 1: the first one, just to try to reel in as
21:11
Speaker 1: many people as possible. Hey, look, guys, celebrate with us.
21:15
Speaker 1: It's a big party. We're finally bringing these pay per
21:17
Speaker 1: views to HBO Max. And because we love you guys
21:21
Speaker 1: so much, guess what you can be all in for
21:23
Speaker 1: all out and not pay anything whatsoever, right or something
21:27
Speaker 1: like that, just to bring people in. And then going forward,
21:30
Speaker 1: you can price these things out at twenty bucks, thirty bucks,
21:33
Speaker 1: whatever it is. The price point is going to be
21:36
Speaker 1: forty dollars. We found that out. I've been waiting months
21:40
Speaker 1: to find out what this so called discounted price is
21:42
Speaker 1: going to be. Instead of paying fifty bucks if you
21:46
Speaker 1: have MAX or if you get MAX, you will only
21:49
Speaker 1: only only pay forty dollars for these pay per views.
21:54
Speaker 1: That's a misfire. Now, I don't know if Tony. I
21:58
Speaker 1: don't know how much sway Tony himself has in that
22:04
Speaker 1: decision on what to charge for these pay per views
22:07
Speaker 1: through Max. I truly don't because when people ask Tony
22:11
Speaker 1: Kin about the Max numbers in terms of viewership, he
22:15
Speaker 1: always claims, honestly, I don't know, which blows my mind,
22:20
Speaker 1: by the way, unless he's full of shit, it blows
22:23
Speaker 1: my mind that he would have no insight, especially a
22:25
Speaker 1: guy like him who's into metrics and all kinds of stuff.
22:28
Speaker 1: The numbers right, But he has claimed before that I
22:32
Speaker 1: don't know, but I'm told we're doing really well. So
22:34
Speaker 1: if you take him at his word, even Tony himself
22:38
Speaker 1: isn't aware of how his weekly shows are performing numbers
22:42
Speaker 1: wise on HBO Max. Who's to say that he would
22:46
Speaker 1: have had any input into how much they're charging for
22:49
Speaker 1: these pay per views. That may well have been a
22:51
Speaker 1: Warner Bros. Warner Brothers Discovery call. But whoever made that call,
22:56
Speaker 1: I think it's a mistake because if you really want
23:00
Speaker 1: wanted to offer a discount and get people to shed
23:03
Speaker 1: whatever platforms are that they usually watch these shows on
23:07
Speaker 1: and make HBO max their exclusive home for these pay
23:10
Speaker 1: per views, I think you got to do a little
23:11
Speaker 1: bit better than forty bucks because you have a few
23:14
Speaker 1: different tiers on HBO Max. Right, you have three tiers.
23:18
Speaker 1: I mean all these streaming services, they all have different tiers. Right,
23:22
Speaker 1: they have one with ads, they have one without ads,
23:25
Speaker 1: they have one with some ads. So with HBO Max,
23:28
Speaker 1: which I think is one of the more expensive streaming services,
23:32
Speaker 1: they do have a basic level with ADS for nine
23:35
Speaker 1: to ninety nine a month. So think about it if
23:39
Speaker 1: you don't subscribe to HBO Max, and it would be
23:42
Speaker 1: totally understandable if you didn't, because there's so many streaming
23:46
Speaker 1: services and now you got the ESPN streaming service ten
23:50
Speaker 1: dollars a month for the most basic level of HBO
23:54
Speaker 1: Max with ads. If you are forced to pay the
23:58
Speaker 1: ten dollars a month that you were were not paying
24:00
Speaker 1: before just to get these pay per views and you're
24:04
Speaker 1: getting a discounted rate of forty dollars. You're still paying
24:07
Speaker 1: fifty bucks a month if that's all you watch on Max. Now,
24:10
Speaker 1: there's a lot of people who watch other shit on
24:12
Speaker 1: HBO Max. Some people don't. There are a lot of
24:16
Speaker 1: wrestling fans out there. They just watch wrestling, you know.
24:19
Speaker 1: I mean if all those years like Raw would be on.
24:22
Speaker 1: I lost count after a while of how many shows
24:24
Speaker 1: USA Network would put on or Spike TV would put
24:28
Speaker 1: on after Monday Night Raw to try to use the
24:30
Speaker 1: wrestling audience as elite in for whatever bullshit show they
24:33
Speaker 1: were putting on after wrestling, and they cycled through so
24:36
Speaker 1: many different shows over the years. The wrestling audience wanted
24:39
Speaker 1: to watch wrestling. I think the only show that ever
24:41
Speaker 1: had any real success in that spot was The Ultimate Fighter,
24:45
Speaker 1: and boy did that blow up into something. The wrestling
24:48
Speaker 1: fans are very loyal to wrestling. They don't necessarily give
24:51
Speaker 1: a shit about anything else. Not everybody is a big
24:54
Speaker 1: sports fan and they watch you know, basketball and football
24:56
Speaker 1: and all this other stuff. So you have people out
24:59
Speaker 1: there who don't need MAX, but for aaw you get
25:03
Speaker 1: no discount. If you fall into that category, you get
25:07
Speaker 1: no discount, you're still paying fifty bucks even worse if
25:13
Speaker 1: you pay for one of the higher tiers, because the
25:14
Speaker 1: middle tier is the standard one that's seventeen dollars a month,
25:18
Speaker 1: and then the premium one is twenty one dollars a month.
25:22
Speaker 1: So if you had even the standard one, you're paying
25:25
Speaker 1: seventeen dollars a month plus forty for each aw show.
25:30
Speaker 1: You actually end up paying more than you would for
25:33
Speaker 1: just buying the pay per view on YouTube or Amazon Prime.
25:37
Speaker 1: You may as well just buy it on there. So
25:39
Speaker 1: I just think that price point is a misfire. They
25:43
Speaker 1: could have done a lot better on that front. Whoever
25:45
Speaker 1: made that call, whoever is responsible for that. But at
25:50
Speaker 1: least now it is on Max. Finally, it's just another
25:55
Speaker 1: platform of many that you can purchase these pay per views.
25:59
Speaker 1: Moving the all out card to three o'clock, though, I
26:01
Speaker 1: think was the right move. Some people are going to
26:03
Speaker 1: be upset about it. They're going to say, oh, Tony,
26:05
Speaker 1: you know, he's running away from WWE. He's making a
26:09
Speaker 1: business decision, that's it. That's all it is. He's making
26:14
Speaker 1: a decision that he feels is going to help his
26:16
Speaker 1: show and help his company. At the end, of the
26:18
Speaker 1: day because there's nothing he can do. WWE is going
26:22
Speaker 1: to stack that wrestle Paloza show up. I mean, look
26:25
Speaker 1: at some of the matches that they're already teasing for
26:27
Speaker 1: that show. They're stacking this thing up like it's a WrestleMania.
26:32
Speaker 1: There's nothing he could do other than move the show.
26:36
Speaker 1: There was nothing he could do, but I think he
26:39
Speaker 1: made the right call. Today's episode is sponsored by Betterhelp.

Speaker 1: You can find advice for everything these days, my god.
26:47
Speaker 1: I mean, good advice is one thing that's great, but

26:52

26:55

Speaker 1: about what went into the decision making on this. But
28:40
Speaker 1: this is your aw Dynamite review. It is Wednesday, September third,
28:44
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five. I am the Solemn Monster. Thank you
28:47
Speaker 1: for being with me here on a Wednesday night. We
28:50
Speaker 1: already had one Nick Wayne's mom super chat job. They're
28:54
Speaker 1: interrupting my intro, but that's okay. It's the best kind
28:58
Speaker 1: of interruption. I'm okay with that. Like and subscribe. We
29:03
Speaker 1: will be reading the super chats or the lifeblood here
29:05
Speaker 1: of these streams. I appreciate the support very much. I
29:08
Speaker 1: will be reading all of your messages. Duff's FIDS is
29:10
Speaker 1: here with us. Get them on in and I will
29:13
Speaker 1: be reading them here in just a little bit. I
29:15
Speaker 1: do want to extend a thank you to our boy
29:18
Speaker 1: death Site, who I believe is with us, and the
29:20
Speaker 1: Chad Death Site dropped five gifted memberships before we even
29:24
Speaker 1: went live, so thank you for that. Ex caliber. He
29:30
Speaker 1: checked in on commentary at the beginning of the show
29:33
Speaker 1: here and was interrupted by Gabe Kidd, who walked out
29:36
Speaker 1: with a microphone and said, everybody is on his time.
29:39
Speaker 1: And he got into the ring and he asked where
29:41
Speaker 1: Darby Allen was, asking ye shall receive Darby. Allen entered
29:46
Speaker 1: from behind. He attacked Gabe Kid. I think he emerged
29:50
Speaker 1: from underneath the ring. Kid removed the turnbuckle pad. Darby
29:56
Speaker 1: pulled him into the exposed buckle. Kid came back and
29:59
Speaker 1: dumped Darby on the exposed steel and then worked him
30:02
Speaker 1: over at ringside. Darby shoved him into the barricade. Kid
30:06
Speaker 1: though turned around and just walloped him with a clothesline. Darby, though,
30:12
Speaker 1: ended up going up top while Kid was busy arguing
30:14
Speaker 1: with fans in the front row, and he hit a
30:17
Speaker 1: top rope coffin drop onto a standing Gabe Kid on
30:20
Speaker 1: the floor. They got back in the ring. Wheeler you'd
30:23
Speaker 1: to enter it, Oh, Joy, Wheeler you to came out
30:26
Speaker 1: and Darby quickly sent him back out of the ring.
30:29
Speaker 1: Darby pulled out a skateboard that had thumbtacks in the
30:32
Speaker 1: bottom of it and you to return. He was fighting
30:35
Speaker 1: with Darby, who quickly got the better of him. Darby
30:38
Speaker 1: went up and he used his feet to drive the
30:41
Speaker 1: skateboard down into Judah's back. He had thumbtack sticking out
30:45
Speaker 1: of his back. He's like a human pincushion. Darby then
30:49
Speaker 1: turned his attention to Gabe Kid, who was down in
30:51
Speaker 1: the corner. Here comes John Moxley, Here comes Claudia, Here
30:55
Speaker 1: comes Marina Shaffir. They stroll out to ringside. The lights
30:59
Speaker 1: go out up and the H signal hits the ceiling,
31:05
Speaker 1: and then there was a second H. Then there was
31:08
Speaker 1: a third AH. Triple H like triple H Mania. It
31:16
Speaker 1: was a I promise you it was just a unintentional
31:19
Speaker 1: slip of the tongue. When I was talking about triple
31:21
Speaker 1: MANI called it a triple H MANI you imagine they
31:26
Speaker 1: like hacked into the production system. Here we have three hs.
31:30
Speaker 1: Fucking fucking Lemmy starts playing we had the one H,
31:36
Speaker 1: only one H, and Hook his his krooner music plays.
31:41
Speaker 1: I continue to maintain this music is a very poor choice.
31:45
Speaker 1: It's his choice, apparently, but it's a poor one. He
31:49
Speaker 1: comes walking out and before he even gets to the ring,
31:54
Speaker 1: the music stops and it switches over to the ops.
31:57
Speaker 1: Music and Samoa Joe comes running out. He blows past Hook.
32:01
Speaker 1: Powerhouse Hobbs comes out, he blows past Hook. There was
32:05
Speaker 1: no Shebata, and so there's just a giant brawl at ringside.
32:09
Speaker 1: Willow Nightingale all of a sudden, I know where she
32:11
Speaker 1: came from. Willow Nightingale is at ringside. She's fighting with
32:14
Speaker 1: Marina Shafir, the Opster, fighting with the Death Riders. Hook
32:17
Speaker 1: looked annoid by all this, and so it was just
32:20
Speaker 1: an all out brawl with all the men and women
32:24
Speaker 1: at ringside. Gave Kid and Darby. They fought backstage and
32:30
Speaker 1: Kid was choking him. He was screaming that he wanted
32:32
Speaker 1: to see him go unconscious. He swung a hammer wildly
32:38
Speaker 1: like a madman, and he missed. Darby threw some powder
32:41
Speaker 1: in his eyes, choked him out with I believe it
32:44
Speaker 1: was a rag filled with ether, and then he put
32:47
Speaker 1: him in a body bag. It was tied to the
32:49
Speaker 1: back of a pickup truck. Taz referred to him as
32:53
Speaker 1: a body bag Jones and body bag Jones got driven
32:57
Speaker 1: off by Darby Allen as he drag the body bag
33:01
Speaker 1: behind him. So it was a pretty chaotic start to
33:04
Speaker 1: the show. If Gabe Kid is going to be sticking
33:06
Speaker 1: around on a regular basis, and it looks like he
33:08
Speaker 1: might be. Then it makes even more sense for Eddie
33:11
Speaker 1: Kingston when he does come back, to make his return
33:13
Speaker 1: as part of this death Rider's angle, and he can
33:16
Speaker 1: go after Gabe Kid first because Gabe Kid obviously was
33:19
Speaker 1: the one he was in the ring with when he
33:21
Speaker 1: got injured over a year ago. But then it would
33:24
Speaker 1: lead very nicely into the Eddie and Mock story and
33:27
Speaker 1: just pursuing that further, and aw seems to be intent
33:32
Speaker 1: on potentially adding new members and expanding the death Riders.
33:37
Speaker 1: My goal here as I'm watching this show is to
33:40
Speaker 1: go the exact opposite way. It's like coming to a
33:43
Speaker 1: fork in the road. You can go left or you
33:45
Speaker 1: can go right. Tony Kahn wants to go left. I
33:47
Speaker 1: want to go right. I want all of you to
33:49
Speaker 1: join me. Let's go this way, not that way. I
33:52
Speaker 1: want this group to get smaller and then disintegrate into nothing.
33:55
Speaker 1: I don't want to add more people to it. So
33:57
Speaker 1: the quicker we get Eddie Kingston back, maybe he can
34:00
Speaker 1: help facilitate that. But I do think that's the right
34:03
Speaker 1: spot for him to be in. We had Mercedes Monette
34:07
Speaker 1: defending her TBS championship here against Alex Windsor. Windsor was
34:12
Speaker 1: in control until Mercedes power bombed her on the apron
34:15
Speaker 1: outside That took us into a picture and picture break.
34:19
Speaker 1: Later on, Windsor was looking for a sharpshooter. Monet, though
34:23
Speaker 1: kicked out of it. She around the ropes, runs right
34:27
Speaker 1: into a blue thunderbomb, though for a near fall. Then
34:30
Speaker 1: she got the sharpshooter, replied Mercedes grabs the hair though
34:34
Speaker 1: to escape and applies the statement maker. Windsor picks up
34:38
Speaker 1: Monette and carries her money, though got a crucifix pin
34:40
Speaker 1: for a two count. There was a backstabber here by Mercedes.
34:44
Speaker 1: Windsor counter though with a power bomb Justin. Roberts then
34:48
Speaker 1: gave us a time call that there were ten minutes
34:50
Speaker 1: left in the match. Windsor is looking for the sharpshooter again.
34:55
Speaker 1: Then both women end up rolling out to the floor.
34:57
Speaker 1: Windsor does not let go of the she's got this
35:00
Speaker 1: submission hole applied on her on the floor. Eventually, Mercedes,
35:06
Speaker 1: though was able to get back in the ring by
35:07
Speaker 1: the nine count. Windsor was waiting for her from the
35:11
Speaker 1: top Mercedes, though countered with the bank statement. Windsor rolled through.
35:16
Speaker 1: Mercedes though hit a backstabber which Alex no sold, and
35:21
Speaker 1: then she blasted Money with a lariat. So both women
35:24
Speaker 1: now are back to their feet. They're trading forearms. Windsor
35:27
Speaker 1: hits a made in Japan to count only. Monette hits
35:31
Speaker 1: Windsor on the top rope, grabs both arms and throws
35:34
Speaker 1: her from the top. Statement maker is applied again. Windsor
35:39
Speaker 1: thinks she has the rope brake. Money though, rolls her
35:42
Speaker 1: back to the center of the ring. There's another try here,
35:45
Speaker 1: Money though, kicks off the bottom rope, but it allows
35:49
Speaker 1: Windsor to roll her up for a near fall. There's
35:51
Speaker 1: another sharpshooter attempt. Money though countered into a roll up
35:55
Speaker 1: and she got the pin to retain the championship. Big shock,
36:00
Speaker 1: I know. After the match was over, Monette's talking shit
36:04
Speaker 1: to Windsor. Windsor's trying to be the bigger person here.
36:07
Speaker 1: She puts her hand out for a handshake. Mercedes walks
36:10
Speaker 1: over as if she might shake the hand, but instead
36:12
Speaker 1: she just flips her the bird and she turns around
36:15
Speaker 1: to go walk away, and Alex Windsor is like, I
36:17
Speaker 1: don't fucking think so, So she double legs her, takes
36:21
Speaker 1: her down to the match. She's gonna put her in
36:22
Speaker 1: another sharpshooter. Mercedes there reaches up because she had the
36:26
Speaker 1: belt in her hands, and she just whacks her right
36:28
Speaker 1: in the head with the belt. So Monette now gets
36:31
Speaker 1: the statement maker applied, and all of a sudden we
36:35
Speaker 1: hear music and even I know this music. I know
36:39
Speaker 1: exactly who this music is for. It is the music
36:43
Speaker 1: for ReHO. Now Mercedes has the hole applied in a
36:49
Speaker 1: way where she can look at the aisle and she
36:52
Speaker 1: is waiting for ReHO to come out. Riho, though, emerges
36:56
Speaker 1: from the crowd behind her. Mercedes doesn't know. And by
37:00
Speaker 1: the way, when they hit Riho's music, and Rijo came
37:03
Speaker 1: out big pop here from the nine hundred people that
37:07
Speaker 1: were packed into the twenty three hundred arena because this
37:10
Speaker 1: was the second week in a row that they were
37:11
Speaker 1: at the old DCW arena. So they pop for Rio.
37:17
Speaker 1: Rio goes up top and she comes off with a
37:20
Speaker 1: double stomp that breaks up the statement maker, and then
37:23
Speaker 1: she sent Monette packing with a hard basement drop kick
37:27
Speaker 1: that sent her out of the ring. As hard as
37:30
Speaker 1: one can deliver such a dropkick at ninety eight pounds,
37:34
Speaker 1: but that's what she did, and she knocked Mercedes outside.
37:38
Speaker 1: She helped Windsor back to her feet. She grabbed Mercedes
37:42
Speaker 1: TBS title, she was admiring it and she held it
37:46
Speaker 1: up and that is how things came to an end.
37:49
Speaker 1: So that answers the question as far as who's next
37:52
Speaker 1: from Verseill, because last week I'm looking at both women's
37:55
Speaker 1: champions and I have no idea. It seemed pretty obvious
37:59
Speaker 1: that Alex Windsor was going to get another shot, and
38:02
Speaker 1: then they just went and announced the match for Dynamite tonight.
38:06
Speaker 1: I thought they were going to save it for All Out.
38:09
Speaker 1: At that point, I'm like, I don't know who's next,
38:12
Speaker 1: and I don't know who's next for Tony Storm either.
38:14
Speaker 1: There was no real clarity last week on the Women's
38:16
Speaker 1: championship picture. Now we know, and Tony Khan has made
38:20
Speaker 1: it official. At All Out it will be Mercedes Monette
38:25
Speaker 1: defending her TBS championship against ReHO. Riho has been out
38:33
Speaker 1: since July of twenty twenty four. She broke her wrist.
38:38
Speaker 1: That was in her collision debut against Lady Frost. Remember
38:41
Speaker 1: she came off the top rope. It's like a diving
38:44
Speaker 1: elbow to the floor outside. She broke her wrist. She
38:48
Speaker 1: finished the match. She wrestled a few more minutes with
38:52
Speaker 1: a broken wrist and won. She won the match. That
38:58
Speaker 1: don't work for ReHO, brother, I'm going over, and then
39:02
Speaker 1: we never saw her again. So it's been well over
39:05
Speaker 1: a year. She comes back and she's automatically in a
39:10
Speaker 1: TVs Championship match against Mercedes, just like that. Didn't even
39:17
Speaker 1: have to win a match. That's how cool Riho is.
39:19
Speaker 1: She just shows up and Tony Kahan or just puts
39:22
Speaker 1: the graphic up. Within five minutes, there it is. It's official.
39:27
Speaker 1: So that is the TVs Championship match for all Out.
39:31
Speaker 1: I certainly was not expecting Riho to be in this spot. Look,
39:39
Speaker 1: Riho is. The fans love Rio every time she comes out,
39:43
Speaker 1: even before she got hurt, like they do cheer for her.
39:47
Speaker 1: They like her, and they find her. I guess they
39:50
Speaker 1: find her fun to watch, or they just think, oh
39:52
Speaker 1: she's so sweet, she's so tiny. They like Riho. Okay,
39:56
Speaker 1: so I acknowledge that the fans are big porters of hers.
40:01
Speaker 1: What ReHO is in this situation, is a warm body
40:06
Speaker 1: to put in there to lose to Mercedes because we
40:08
Speaker 1: are oh so close to her becoming the longest reigning
40:12
Speaker 1: TBS champion of all time. ReHO is not going to
40:16
Speaker 1: interrupt that. I don't know why they couldn't just extend
40:20
Speaker 1: the Alex Windsor thing until all out, because Alex Windsor,
40:23
Speaker 1: she's still relatively new. They've put some shine on her.
40:28
Speaker 1: She was in the four way at Forbidden Door, she
40:31
Speaker 1: didn't take the losing fall, and then they tease that
40:35
Speaker 1: they were going to continue with this this feud between
40:37
Speaker 1: her and Mercedes. I'm like, okay, well, that seems like
40:39
Speaker 1: it's going to be the all out match that'll bridge
40:42
Speaker 1: the gap between now and October, because we still have
40:46
Speaker 1: some time between now and then. And then Justin Roberts
40:51
Speaker 1: gave the ten minute time call, and I'm like, okay,
40:54
Speaker 1: I see what they're doing here. They're going to go
40:56
Speaker 1: to a time limit draw, no winner. You run it
40:59
Speaker 1: back at all maybe it all out. It's no time limit, right,
41:03
Speaker 1: but you run the match back. But then Mercedes rolled
41:06
Speaker 1: her up and beat her, and it was actually more
41:08
Speaker 1: like she survived Windsor. It wasn't like a dominant win.
41:12
Speaker 1: That's how Mercedes has won most of her matches. Though,
41:14
Speaker 1: that's how she won it Forbidden Door. It was on
41:16
Speaker 1: some kind of roll up or wacky pinning combination. She
41:20
Speaker 1: just gets by, you know, by the skin of her teeth.
41:23
Speaker 1: But that's how she's been retaining her championship for the
41:25
Speaker 1: most part. I don't understand why they couldn't have just
41:28
Speaker 1: extended the Alex windsor stuff. At least there was a
41:30
Speaker 1: story there and extend that into the pay per view. Instead,
41:35
Speaker 1: it's like we blew it off on TV for really
41:37
Speaker 1: no good reason to bring back Riho, who hasn't been
41:41
Speaker 1: around in fifteen months or fourteen months, whatever it's been,
41:46
Speaker 1: and just like that, like boom, she's in a TBS
41:48
Speaker 1: title match. Not what I would have done, but that's
41:54
Speaker 1: how Tony Kahn wanted to reintroduce Rijo. So good. She'll
41:58
Speaker 1: go in there, she'll lose, She'll be the next one
41:59
Speaker 1: to lose Mercedes, and then the question becomes who's next.
42:03
Speaker 1: After that, it'll be on to the next loser. And
42:06
Speaker 1: I guess that's how this is gonna work. Riho is
42:10
Speaker 1: like a mini EO Sky. She is very tiny. She's
42:14
Speaker 1: about ninety eight pounds. But she's been there since day one.
42:19
Speaker 1: Think about that, right, wasn't she the first champion? I
42:22
Speaker 1: believe she was. I believe Rejo was the first AW
42:25
Speaker 1: women's champion, So she's been there since day one. She's
42:29
Speaker 1: an AW original. But you know, silly me, I thought
42:34
Speaker 1: that whether you were an AW original or not. You know,
42:37
Speaker 1: for a guy who used to run rankings on his
42:39
Speaker 1: shows and doesn't anymore, but you would think that he
42:41
Speaker 1: would at least be sensitive to bringing her back and
42:45
Speaker 1: maybe letting her rack up some wins before she challenges
42:49
Speaker 1: for the TBS title. But evidently he feels differently now.
42:54
Speaker 1: Renee was backstage with Samoa, Joe and Powerhouse Hobbs asking
42:59
Speaker 1: them where Hooks stay with the ops, and Joe said,
43:02
Speaker 1: you know, I'd like to know that too, and Hook
43:04
Speaker 1: walked in at that moment said that he didn't need
43:07
Speaker 1: either one of them fighting for him. He'll fight his
43:10
Speaker 1: own battles. Hook said that you replaced me before my
43:14
Speaker 1: body was even cold, and Hobbs took exception to this
43:18
Speaker 1: and said, look, I've always had your back, and so
43:21
Speaker 1: Joe calms him down and interjects said, you know what
43:25
Speaker 1: Hook is right. We didn't wait for the body to
43:29
Speaker 1: be cold because we saw an opportunity. That's why we're
43:32
Speaker 1: the ops, ops being the key word. We saw an opportunity,
43:39
Speaker 1: we took it, and we won the trios titles. He said, look,
43:43
Speaker 1: we didn't come out here tonight to save you. I
43:46
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't even know what that meant. It's
43:48
Speaker 1: not like Hook needed saving. Hook literally just walked out.
43:50
Speaker 1: The fuck doesn't need saving from. But Joe said, we
43:53
Speaker 1: didn't come out to save you. We have business of
43:55
Speaker 1: our own to handle. Hook has every right to be upset.
44:00
Speaker 1: Joe says he made the call, and Hook needs to
44:03
Speaker 1: realize that at some point he's going to need their help,
44:06
Speaker 1: whether he wants it or not. He's going to need
44:08
Speaker 1: their help and they will still have his back whether
44:12
Speaker 1: he wants to accept it or not. And Hook looked
44:16
Speaker 1: very frustrated by what he was just told and he
44:18
Speaker 1: walked off. I'm glad they addressed this. It was very
44:22
Speaker 1: weird the way that they brought him back last week,
44:24
Speaker 1: and they just brought him back to attack Wheeler Yudah
44:27
Speaker 1: and then leave because he came back at anarchy in
44:31
Speaker 1: the arena. Very briefly, remember he actually assisted the ops
44:35
Speaker 1: and all the babyfaces, but it looked like he wasn't
44:38
Speaker 1: really happy with them. And then he turned and he
44:40
Speaker 1: left because Joe was like all excited to see him,
44:42
Speaker 1: welcome back. And then Hook just turned around and left.
44:45
Speaker 1: And it's like, Okay, where's this story going to go?
44:47
Speaker 1: That was in May. That was in May, So here
44:52
Speaker 1: we are in September. Now, maybe now we can pick
44:56
Speaker 1: up with this story. And so at the very least
44:59
Speaker 1: you have to I have a segment, which is what
45:03
Speaker 1: we had here, although this looks like it's gonna go
45:05
Speaker 1: beyond just this one segment, but if nothing else, you
45:08
Speaker 1: needed to do a segment like this to at least
45:11
Speaker 1: explain in very basic terms what the issues are there
45:16
Speaker 1: or what his standing is with this group, even if
45:20
Speaker 1: it's just Hook going you know what, guys, I get it.
45:23
Speaker 1: You did what you had to do. But I got
45:25
Speaker 1: to fight my own battles and stand on my own
45:27
Speaker 1: two feet. And Joe is like, I respect that, and
45:30
Speaker 1: they fist bump and they go their separate ways. It
45:32
Speaker 1: could have been as simple as that, but just don't
45:33
Speaker 1: ignore the story, right, it has to be addressed. So
45:36
Speaker 1: I was happy that they addressed it here, and it
45:39
Speaker 1: was a very basic explanation, but what they said was
45:43
Speaker 1: perfectly sensible that Hook would be upset, like I got
45:48
Speaker 1: hurt and before the body was cold, you guys went
45:52
Speaker 1: and replaced me with somebody else and won the titles
45:54
Speaker 1: that I should have been holding with you. So, yeah,
45:57
Speaker 1: that's gonna bother him. It's understandable, and we'll see how
46:02
Speaker 1: Hook reacts to the situation when eventually he needs their
46:05
Speaker 1: help and they come out to help them. Is he
46:07
Speaker 1: going to attack them? Is he going to accept their help?
46:11
Speaker 1: I don't know. But at least they're telling that story
46:13
Speaker 1: and they're not just dropping it and moving on, which
46:16
Speaker 1: they have done with stories before. At least they're not
46:19
Speaker 1: doing that here. Ricochet was backstage with the Gates of Agony.
46:26
Speaker 1: He said that his problems with the Hurt Syndicate predate
46:28
Speaker 1: well before aw His issue is for them, it's just
46:33
Speaker 1: business for the Hurt Syndicate, that is for them, it's personal.
46:38
Speaker 1: The Hurt Syndicate have relied on their past accomplishments. And
46:41
Speaker 1: as soon as he said that total Leona just exploded him, like,
46:44
Speaker 1: oh my god, he speaks. He exploded, saying that that's
46:49
Speaker 1: all they have left. Referring to their past accomplishments, he
46:53
Speaker 1: said Brodido may have won the tag team titles, but
46:55
Speaker 1: they were the ones who ended the Hurt Syndicate's rain
46:59
Speaker 1: and their legacies. Next, Ricochet said that unlike the Hurt Syndicate,
47:02
Speaker 1: they're not washed up. Their future is ahead of them,
47:06
Speaker 1: and he wasn't challenging them to a match. He was
47:08
Speaker 1: demanding a match with them in Toronto at all Out.
47:14
Speaker 1: At this point, Mark Briscoe made his way out to
47:16
Speaker 1: the ring. He spoke about how he and his brother
47:20
Speaker 1: fell in love with pro wrestling. Inside this arena, brisco
47:25
Speaker 1: turned his attention to Don Callus and he remembered Callous
47:28
Speaker 1: saying that Briscoe had to beat one of the members
47:30
Speaker 1: of his family in order to get a shot at
47:32
Speaker 1: the TNT Championship and Kyle Fletcher. So he called for
47:36
Speaker 1: Callous to come out and reveal his opponent. Who am
47:38
Speaker 1: I going to have to beat up? Don Callus walks out,
47:42
Speaker 1: He's got Rocky Romero with him, He's got Lance Archer
47:46
Speaker 1: with him. I guess that's supposed to be Those are
47:51
Speaker 1: his heavies. Those are the guys that are going to
47:53
Speaker 1: watch his back and make sure nobody puts their hands
47:56
Speaker 1: on him. Have you seen this man, by the way,
47:59
Speaker 1: I didn't see Loow out there. I don't know. Maybe
48:02
Speaker 1: he was in the back, Maybe he had food poisoning,
48:04
Speaker 1: maybe he was in the back taking a shit. He
48:08
Speaker 1: certainly wasn't on this show tonight we had Rocky Romero though,
48:13
Speaker 1: and Lance Archer. So brisco is very impatient to get
48:20
Speaker 1: his answer, Callus said, but he's a little busy getting
48:24
Speaker 1: Kyle Fletcher and Josh Alexander ready for the main event tonight.
48:28
Speaker 1: Callous said, Briscoe's natur will take place this Saturday on
48:32
Speaker 1: Collision and it will be against the Alpha Kenoski. Takeshta.
48:37
Speaker 1: Takeshta came out, had a very brief stare down. He
48:41
Speaker 1: got into the ring and had a brief stare down
48:42
Speaker 1: in the ring with Mark brisco No physicality there. The
48:47
Speaker 1: best line in this was Tony Schavanni. Tony Shavanni was
48:50
Speaker 1: commenting on how lean he looks. My goodness, look at
48:53
Speaker 1: how Lean Takeshta looks. And then Taz is like, dude,
48:56
Speaker 1: he's he's wearing a shirt, He's wearing a dress shirt.
48:59
Speaker 1: He's like all dressed up and Tony's like, yeah, but
49:02
Speaker 1: you know he uh, he just totally busted his balls.
49:06
Speaker 1: I thought the same thing. I'm like, what are you
49:08
Speaker 1: talking about? Man? So I fucking dressed up. So Callous
49:13
Speaker 1: went to go leave with the family. Brisco said he'll
49:16
Speaker 1: see Takashta on Saturday on Collision, but he wants to
49:19
Speaker 1: fight right now, and Rocky Romero started to take his
49:24
Speaker 1: jacket off, and Callous said that he would rather go
49:29
Speaker 1: with Lance Archer instead, so he went. He went with
49:32
Speaker 1: Lance Archer. Now, imagine for a moment, just to magic,
49:38
Speaker 1: if Tony Kahan had even made a modest attempt at
49:42
Speaker 1: feeding some wins to Lance Archer against some credible opponents.
49:47
Speaker 1: I'm not even counting the Ring of Honor matches because
49:50
Speaker 1: he just gets fed jobber after jobber and Ring of
49:52
Speaker 1: Honor and nobody's watching really or paying attention to it,
49:56
Speaker 1: So I don't count that. If he's going to be
49:58
Speaker 1: on this show, then this is the roster that we're
50:00
Speaker 1: focusing on here, not Ring of Honor. And if he
50:02
Speaker 1: had even taken a little bit of time to try
50:05
Speaker 1: to give this man a shred of credibility outside of
50:08
Speaker 1: the fact that he's a big scary looking guy that
50:10
Speaker 1: will only take you so far. Yeah, we talk about
50:13
Speaker 1: aw originals and people that have been there for years
50:15
Speaker 1: and years. I don't remember if Lance Archer was there
50:18
Speaker 1: from day one, but if not, he was pretty close.
50:21
Speaker 1: He was there day two. He's been there for a
50:23
Speaker 1: long time and there over the years were some start
50:26
Speaker 1: and stop pushes with him, but for the most part,
50:29
Speaker 1: Tony con has never pushed him in any serious, meaningful way.
50:33
Speaker 1: So when he comes out there, and as soon as
50:35
Speaker 1: they made the match, Mark Briscoe against Lance Archer like
50:39
Speaker 1: automatic l like you know, before the bell even rings,
50:43
Speaker 1: you know exactly how this match is going to go.
50:46
Speaker 1: And that is due in large part to the way
50:49
Speaker 1: that this man has been booked over the years. So,
50:51
Speaker 1: I mean, he's supposed to be this scary dude. Oh
50:54
Speaker 1: my god, this is gonna be a tough challenge for
50:57
Speaker 1: Mark Briscoe. It's like, well, yeah, it might be for
50:59
Speaker 1: two seconds, but we all know how this is going
51:01
Speaker 1: to end. So brisco immediately fought free from a choke
51:05
Speaker 1: slam sent Archer to the outside. He hit a baseball slide.
51:08
Speaker 1: Brisco charged again, but he jumped right into the clutches
51:12
Speaker 1: of Archer, who hit a choke slam on the apron
51:15
Speaker 1: Rocky Romero distracted the referee. His Archer turned the ring
51:19
Speaker 1: steps on their side and then he choked slamb brisco
51:22
Speaker 1: onto the steps as things went to commercial. Back from
51:28
Speaker 1: the break, Briscoe caught Archer with a clothes line over
51:30
Speaker 1: the top and a sumrsault Suiceeda followed back inside. Archer
51:34
Speaker 1: backdropped out of a jade driller before flattening brisco with
51:38
Speaker 1: another choke slam, only for two. Archer wanted to blackout
51:42
Speaker 1: brisco though fought free into a shotgun dropkick. Both men
51:46
Speaker 1: were down. Briscoe went up top only to get cut
51:49
Speaker 1: off by Archer, who wanted an avalanche choke slam. Brisco
51:53
Speaker 1: though bit his way free and this I don't know
51:59
Speaker 1: what happened here. It was very awkward. He hit a
52:02
Speaker 1: very awkward, nasty looking sunset bomb where Archer looked like
52:08
Speaker 1: he landed hard on his shoulder. It it looked weird,
52:12
Speaker 1: and then the froggy bow followed and Briscoe picked up
52:15
Speaker 1: the wind. So, I mean, look, the match for what
52:17
Speaker 1: it was supposed to be. The match was solid enough,
52:21
Speaker 1: but it was a momentum win for Briscoe because he
52:25
Speaker 1: just made the match with Takeshta for Saturday. He wasn't
52:28
Speaker 1: losing to Lance Archer. It was the callous family way
52:31
Speaker 1: of trying to soften this man up, and it didn't work.
52:36
Speaker 1: So now Mark Briscoe has a win under his belt
52:38
Speaker 1: and he gets to go in there with the Alpha
52:40
Speaker 1: on Saturday. And here's the question. Now they have been
52:46
Speaker 1: building this up to a potential TNT championship match between
52:50
Speaker 1: Mark Briscoe and Kyle Fletcher, and now Don Kallis is
52:54
Speaker 1: throwing these roadblocks in his way. Well, you have to
52:56
Speaker 1: beat this guy. You have to beat that guy if
52:58
Speaker 1: you want to get a shot at the title. So
53:01
Speaker 1: he beat Lance Archer right as most people did. He's
53:05
Speaker 1: going in there against Takeshna on Saturday. And does he
53:09
Speaker 1: beat Takeshta and then get a TNT title match, Because
53:12
Speaker 1: that's not how this feels to me. This feels like
53:15
Speaker 1: they're just trying to throw us off here because mjf
53:19
Speaker 1: is going to get involved, not in an eventual championship match,
53:23
Speaker 1: but he is likely going to get involved in this
53:26
Speaker 1: match on Saturday where it's brisco against Takeshta, and he
53:31
Speaker 1: will never even get the TNT title match against Kyle Fletcher.
53:35
Speaker 1: It feels to me like it was never even designed
53:38
Speaker 1: to get him to a championship match. MJF will fuck
53:42
Speaker 1: him over this weekend, and then that will take us
53:45
Speaker 1: into MJF and Mark Briscoe, with brisco never even getting
53:49
Speaker 1: a hold of Kyle Fletcher. Because you watch the end
53:52
Speaker 1: of that show tonight, Kyle Fletcher's got bigger fish to
53:55
Speaker 1: fry here. He's got more important names to be working
53:58
Speaker 1: with than Mark Briscoe. So I don't even think we're
54:01
Speaker 1: getting a TNT title match at all. I also don't
54:04
Speaker 1: really want to see Takesha losing to Mark Briscoe. I'm
54:08
Speaker 1: hoping that MJF is there on Saturday and screws Briscoe
54:12
Speaker 1: out of a win and then we can move on
54:15
Speaker 1: from this. Earlier today, timeless Tony Storm was there in
54:20
Speaker 1: an empty twenty three hundred arena, saying she wants the
54:25
Speaker 1: attention of the Philadelphia Freaks. Insanity is relative, so she
54:29
Speaker 1: promises to be the most batshit bitch to piss in
54:34
Speaker 1: this sink. What a visual Storm is a woman in
54:38
Speaker 1: search of her murder, a character in search of a plot.
54:43
Speaker 1: No belt collector or Forever Champion could take the AW
54:46
Speaker 1: Women's title from her. So she is begging for any
54:49
Speaker 1: woman to play the role in the greatest show on Earth.
54:52
Speaker 1: Not to worry. God doesn't judge. That's my job. I
54:57
Speaker 1: have no idea who this person is going to be.
55:01
Speaker 1: They've thrown it open. It could be anybody. You know.
55:03
Speaker 1: When I think of the AW Women's roster, all the
55:05
Speaker 1: key players are already accounted for, or she's already beaten them.
55:10
Speaker 1: Athena had her shot right, didn't work. Athena just got
55:16
Speaker 1: bounced at forbidden Door. They're not going back to that.
55:19
Speaker 1: I wouldn't think. Yeah, you think about the triangle of Madness,
55:24
Speaker 1: and you know Tekla, and then you've got Megan Bain,
55:27
Speaker 1: been there, done that. She already beat Megan Bain twice,
55:32
Speaker 1: wasn't it twice or maybe once? I don't remember now,
55:34
Speaker 1: but so that's been done. Chris Statlander's got her thing
55:38
Speaker 1: going on Willow. No indication of Willow Nightingale. Jamie Hayter
55:45
Speaker 1: just came back. She's involved with Tecla. Mercedes is doing
55:48
Speaker 1: her thing with Riho. So I shift my attention now
55:54
Speaker 1: to potential new signings, and I do wonder because it's
55:57
Speaker 1: about that time that they should be available. There are
56:00
Speaker 1: two women in particular who were let go by WWE
56:04
Speaker 1: earlier this year. One of them is Dakota Kai. Could
56:08
Speaker 1: we be seeing a Dakota Kai debut in AW where
56:12
Speaker 1: she steps up and challenges Tony Storm for the championship.
56:16
Speaker 1: You could say the same thing for Shana Basler. Shana
56:20
Speaker 1: Basler has a friend already working in AW and Marina
56:23
Speaker 1: Shaffir is she on her way in? I don't think,
56:26
Speaker 1: by the way, either one of these women or the answer.
56:28
Speaker 1: I'm just throwing these names out there because I think
56:30
Speaker 1: it's a possibility. I think this, I think would be
56:34
Speaker 1: very stupid. This is your Women's World champion. You have
56:38
Speaker 1: set up a TBS title match already for this pay
56:42
Speaker 1: per view with a woman who just came back, has
56:47
Speaker 1: not wrestled a match since July of twenty twenty four.
56:50
Speaker 1: She's already vaulted into a TBS championship match. I think
56:54
Speaker 1: the person who should be challenging Tony Storm should at
56:56
Speaker 1: least have some you know, as far as get a
57:00
Speaker 1: championship match, should have some legitimate reason for doing so.
57:05
Speaker 1: If they just turn it into an open challenge where
57:07
Speaker 1: anybody can step up. Well, that just tells me that
57:10
Speaker 1: they're just shit out of ideas and they have no
57:12
Speaker 1: idea who to put in the ring with this woman,
57:15
Speaker 1: or maybe they should have had somebody else beat her
57:17
Speaker 1: for the belt before now, And now they're kind of like, well,
57:21
Speaker 1: we don't really have any other great ideas for Toronto,
57:25
Speaker 1: so we'll kind of throw it open because I don't
57:27
Speaker 1: know who else it would be. Maybe there's somebody I'm
57:29
Speaker 1: not thinking of. Don't know who that person would be,
57:34
Speaker 1: but I feel like now we're at that point with
57:36
Speaker 1: Tony is as great as she is, She's beaten all
57:40
Speaker 1: the big names. She beat Mercedes, only woman to beat Mercedes,
57:46
Speaker 1: she beat Athena. Who's left. Jamie's not ready. I'm looking
57:53
Speaker 1: longer term, if she's still the champion. I'd love for
57:55
Speaker 1: it to be Jamie. Jamie's not ready. What are you
57:59
Speaker 1: kidding me? Jamie is only marginally being treated better than
58:03
Speaker 1: Wardlow is right now. At least she was going back
58:06
Speaker 1: and forth I think on collision with Techla. At least
58:08
Speaker 1: she's doing something. Wardlow's not doing anything. He's sitting in
58:11
Speaker 1: the corner room my fucking screen right now, there just
58:15
Speaker 1: doesn't seem to be a great option. Today's episode is
58:18
Speaker 1: sponsored by Hymns. It's an experience a lot of men
58:21
Speaker 1: are terrified of. They look in the mirror one day
58:24
Speaker 1: and they notice their hair is starting to thin. It
58:27
Speaker 1: doesn't happen at the same age for everyone. For some
58:29
Speaker 1: it happens earlier than others. But maybe it runs in
58:31
Speaker 1: your family. Maybe it's a hereditary thing. There are lots
58:34
Speaker 1: of reasons that it happens. But you see it and
58:37
Speaker 1: you think, well, that's it. My life is over. It's
58:40
Speaker 1: baseball hats for me from now on. Seriously, do you
58:44
Speaker 1: know how many men are walking around right now with
58:46
Speaker 1: a Mets hat on their head who probably couldn't even
58:48
Speaker 1: name three players on the entire team. They just need
58:50
Speaker 1: an excuse to cover up on top. But guys, you
58:53
Speaker 1: don't need to live your life that way. It happens
58:56
Speaker 1: way more than you think, and there is a way
58:58
Speaker 1: to reverse the problem. It really works with Hymns. You
59:01
Speaker 1: can start regrowing your hair and as little as three
59:04
Speaker 1: to six months so you can see a fuller head
59:06
Speaker 1: of hair in time for the holidays. Hymns offers convenient
59:09
Speaker 1: access to a range of prescription hair loss treatments with

Speaker 1: Doctor trusted, clinically proven ingredients like finasteride and monoxidil can
59:21
Speaker 1: stop hair loss and regrow hair in as little as
59:24

Speaker 1: Prescription required. See website for full details, restrictions and important
1:00:21
Speaker 1: safety information. Rene interviewed Harley Cameron. It's not going to
1:00:26
Speaker 1: be her either. Harley Cameron and Chris Statlander in the back.
1:00:30
Speaker 1: Cameron said that she and Statlander are undefeated as a team.
1:00:34
Speaker 1: She said that they are headed straight to the top.
1:00:36
Speaker 1: They're coming for Brodido. So Statlander calmed her down, talked
1:00:42
Speaker 1: about facing the Triangle of Madness, not to Brodido. Wheeler
1:00:47
Speaker 1: you to showed up. He's getting way too many segments
1:00:50
Speaker 1: on these shows. Wheeler you to showed up. You to
1:00:52
Speaker 1: told Statlander that the Death Writers have her back because
1:00:56
Speaker 1: Moxley in the past has tried, you know, giving her
1:00:59
Speaker 1: some advice. It's almost like he's trying to maybe recruit
1:01:01
Speaker 1: her into the Death Riders. So then Marina Shaffir entered
1:01:06
Speaker 1: the picture and she stared at Statlander intently. Statlander stared
1:01:13
Speaker 1: back at her, and Statlander said that she and you
1:01:17
Speaker 1: could tell their friend that they got his message. You
1:01:21
Speaker 1: could tell how tense the stare down was getting with
1:01:25
Speaker 1: Shaffir at Statlander, and so he said, I'm gonna go
1:01:28
Speaker 1: wrestle now, and he pulled Shaffir away with him. So
1:01:31
Speaker 1: that makes two people that the Death Riders appear to
1:01:35
Speaker 1: be trying to recruit John Boxley, by the way, is
1:01:38
Speaker 1: wrestling Daniel Garcia again on Collision this weekend, so we'll
1:01:42
Speaker 1: get more of that story then. But it looks like
1:01:44
Speaker 1: they're trying to recruit these two people. This is a terrible,
1:01:48
Speaker 1: terrible thing. No new members, less members, no new members.
1:01:55
Speaker 1: We're going the wrong way here. We had Brodie King
1:01:59
Speaker 1: and Ben in their first defense of the aw tag
1:02:03
Speaker 1: team titles against of course, the Death Riders. It was
1:02:07
Speaker 1: Claudio Casignoli and Wheeler Dah another Wheeler Udah set. This
1:02:12
Speaker 1: was the third Wheeler Uda segment on this show. Early
1:02:17
Speaker 1: in the match, Bandido started doing the macarena. I don't
1:02:22
Speaker 1: know where that came from, but he was doing the macarena.
1:02:26
Speaker 1: Brody King politely declined to do it, which is too
1:02:28
Speaker 1: bad because that would have been amazing. Bandido connected with
1:02:32
Speaker 1: an impressive stalling vertical supplex on Claudio before going up
1:02:36
Speaker 1: top for a dive, only to be caught with a
1:02:39
Speaker 1: tilta world backbreaker. Claudio launched Bandido to the floor and
1:02:43
Speaker 1: then Da pounced on him. As things went to commercial,
1:02:47
Speaker 1: Shaffir grabbed Bandido's leg from the floor, which led to
1:02:51
Speaker 1: the challengers taking control. Shaffir stood on the apron distracted
1:02:54
Speaker 1: the referee while John Moxley came out and he ran
1:02:57
Speaker 1: Brody King into the ring post. Claud toss Youdah onto Bandido,
1:03:02
Speaker 1: which led to a good near fall. Claudio performed the
1:03:06
Speaker 1: giant swing on Bandido, who was still swinging when dah
1:03:09
Speaker 1: drop kicked him. Moxley approached Brody while the referee was
1:03:14
Speaker 1: distracted by Claudio, and Darby Allen showed up. Darby Allen
1:03:19
Speaker 1: attacked Moxley. Claudio went to ringside, he got taken out
1:03:22
Speaker 1: by Brody King with a roundhouse forearm. Youdah ate one
1:03:25
Speaker 1: as well, and he's in the ring and he's in
1:03:28
Speaker 1: perfect position for Bandido to hit the twenty one plex,
1:03:32
Speaker 1: and he takes down Wheeleryda and he covers him and
1:03:34
Speaker 1: he gets the pin to retain the titles for his team.
1:03:38
Speaker 1: A lot of outside interference in this match. It did
1:03:42
Speaker 1: not mar the match from being good. It was a
1:03:45
Speaker 1: good match. Bandido is awesome. And I don't know how
1:03:49
Speaker 1: many of you, probably very few of you, so understandable,
1:03:53
Speaker 1: but I don't know how many of you had the
1:03:55
Speaker 1: chance to watch part of that ring of Honor pay
1:03:57
Speaker 1: per view last Friday. I wrapped up my SmackDown review
1:04:00
Speaker 1: early because I was able to watch SmackDown earlier and
1:04:06
Speaker 1: it just, I mean, SmackDown sucks. At least it has
1:04:09
Speaker 1: it has up until this point. I'm actually looking forward
1:04:12
Speaker 1: to SmackDown this week, but for the most part, SmackDown sucks.
1:04:15
Speaker 1: So I wrapped that up pretty quickly. And I also
1:04:18
Speaker 1: realized that there were some streaming issues with the Ring
1:04:21
Speaker 1: of Honor pay per view, and Tony Kah made the
1:04:23
Speaker 1: decision that he was going to put the remainder of
1:04:25
Speaker 1: the show for free up on YouTube, and I said, oh,
1:04:27
Speaker 1: you know what's that's kind of cool and it's smart.
1:04:30
Speaker 1: It's a smart thing to do. You may reel in
1:04:33
Speaker 1: some new fans, and I was one of them because
1:04:37
Speaker 1: I'm tuning into the show and I'm watching Paul Walter
1:04:40
Speaker 1: Hauser and QT Marshall in a twenty minute hardcore match,
1:04:47
Speaker 1: which was quite something, and I'm like, well, am I
1:04:51
Speaker 1: regretting my decision now? And honestly, for the stipulation those
1:04:55
Speaker 1: two were given, they made the most of it. It
1:04:57
Speaker 1: was fun for what it was. In the old ECW arena,
1:05:01
Speaker 1: you gotta have at least one garbage match on that show, right,
1:05:04
Speaker 1: But then that led right into Bendido and Hetchisaro for
1:05:07
Speaker 1: the Ring of Honor World Championship, and I watched that
1:05:09
Speaker 1: entire match. Now, they did not need to go thirty
1:05:13
Speaker 1: six minutes, especially when they weren't even the main event.
1:05:16
Speaker 1: They saved Athena for the main event. They were second
1:05:19
Speaker 1: to last. They won almost forty minutes. That's ridiculous, but
1:05:23
Speaker 1: had an excellent match. Like those two guys, they threw
1:05:26
Speaker 1: everything at each other. So if you just want a
1:05:29
Speaker 1: balls to the wall fucking wrestling match in front of
1:05:32
Speaker 1: a hot crowd, that ate up every single thing these
1:05:34
Speaker 1: guys did. And you want to see Bendido at his
1:05:37
Speaker 1: best because he's a lot of fun to watch, and
1:05:41
Speaker 1: not taking anything away from Hetcha Saro in that match,
1:05:43
Speaker 1: but I'm just saying it was an excellent match that
1:05:46
Speaker 1: those two had. Darby Allen, he continues to terrorize the
1:05:51
Speaker 1: Death Riders as he attempts to get that match with
1:05:53
Speaker 1: John Moxley, which he's still waiting for, but he's going
1:05:57
Speaker 1: to keep being a thorn in their side until he
1:05:59
Speaker 1: gets what he wants. Renee spoke with the aw Unified
1:06:03
Speaker 1: Champion Kazuchka Okada in the parking garage. I don't know why,
1:06:07
Speaker 1: but that's where they were. She mentioned the recent tension
1:06:11
Speaker 1: between Okada and Takeshta. Okata said, Takeshta calls himself the alpha,
1:06:16
Speaker 1: but everyone knows Okada is the top dog in the
1:06:19
Speaker 1: don Kallis family. Bitch. I mean, it's not really an
1:06:25
Speaker 1: Okada promo, I guess unless he throws that in there
1:06:27
Speaker 1: in the end. You can't really get any more direct
1:06:29
Speaker 1: than that. It was simple, it was quick, and that
1:06:34
Speaker 1: was the end of that. After a break, Renee was
1:06:37
Speaker 1: with Bobby Lashley's Shelton Benjamin and MVP. They were outside
1:06:41
Speaker 1: the venue. Asked if they accepted Ricoshet's challenge to a
1:06:45
Speaker 1: trios match it all out. MVP said that Ricochet has
1:06:48
Speaker 1: become a whiny joke. He wants to know what happened
1:06:51
Speaker 1: to Ricky. He used to be fantastic wrestler, but now
1:06:54
Speaker 1: he's nothing but a punchline. And speaking of punchline, he
1:06:57
Speaker 1: saw Ricky saying that they should respect them wherever they go.
1:07:02
Speaker 1: They are given a wide berth, they command respect. They
1:07:06
Speaker 1: accept Ricochet's challenge, and MVP says that he looks forward
1:07:09
Speaker 1: to lacing up his boots and punching Ricochet in his disrespectful,
1:07:13
Speaker 1: bitch made mouth. So that match is now official for
1:07:17
Speaker 1: the pay per view, it will be a trio's match.
1:07:23
Speaker 1: Adam Copeland made his way out to the ring for
1:07:25
Speaker 1: what was supposed to be a promo segment with him
1:07:28
Speaker 1: and Christian Cage, but he got attacked by FTR in
1:07:32
Speaker 1: the ring before Christian could even make his entrance. They
1:07:35
Speaker 1: put the boots to Copeland. As Cage finally hit the
1:07:37
Speaker 1: ring to even the playing field, security rushed out to
1:07:42
Speaker 1: separate all four men, but they got beat up as
1:07:44
Speaker 1: a result. Dax Horwood he got busted open by Christian
1:07:48
Speaker 1: during the brawl. It's there was a huge group of
1:07:51
Speaker 1: what we were told were Ring of Honor wrestlers that
1:07:54
Speaker 1: got sent out by Tony Kahn to try to finally
1:07:57
Speaker 1: get these guys separated. I noticed Jordan Olive was out there.
1:08:00
Speaker 1: He was the one who ate the spike pileot driver
1:08:04
Speaker 1: from FTR. Adam Priest was another one and he got
1:08:09
Speaker 1: pie faced by Dax. So Priest started firing shots right
1:08:12
Speaker 1: back at him and the crowd was chanting his name.
1:08:15
Speaker 1: Ex Caliber brought up the fact that FTR just wrestled
1:08:18
Speaker 1: Priest and JD. Drake on Collision last week. After a
1:08:22
Speaker 1: commercial break, FTR was backstage with Stokely. Hathaway, who did
1:08:27
Speaker 1: the talking for them, said that next time Copeland or
1:08:30
Speaker 1: Cage put their hands on Stokely, it'll be a reckoning.
1:08:34
Speaker 1: Harwood starts screaming at Adam Priest off screen, so he
1:08:38
Speaker 1: walks over and apologizes, Oh, you know, I'm sorry, I
1:08:41
Speaker 1: got all fired up out there. Cash Wheeler wasn't having
1:08:45
Speaker 1: any of it. He bad mouthed him and said, who
1:08:47
Speaker 1: are you. You're a nobody. You had one match on
1:08:49
Speaker 1: TV and you think you were somebody. Wheeler told Priest
1:08:54
Speaker 1: to get his gear and find a partner, and this
1:08:56
Speaker 1: Saturday on Collision they will make him somebody. A little
1:09:01
Speaker 1: odd shifting the focus here to someone that has absolutely
1:09:05
Speaker 1: nothing to do with this feud against Cope and Christian.
1:09:08
Speaker 1: In fact, that someone who, to my knowledge, not only
1:09:11
Speaker 1: has he only had one match on AW television, I
1:09:14
Speaker 1: don't believe he signed to a contract like this kid
1:09:17
Speaker 1: came out of nowhere. So like they're shifting the story
1:09:21
Speaker 1: over to him when the focus should be squarely on
1:09:25
Speaker 1: FTR and Copeland and Christian. Now we have Adam Priest.
1:09:28
Speaker 1: They're trying to give him some rub. It's like the
1:09:30
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, they've done this before where they'll
1:09:32
Speaker 1: they'll take somebody young or new and then they'll give
1:09:34
Speaker 1: him a push for a few weeks and then you know,
1:09:36
Speaker 1: they kind of blend in with everybody else. But I'm
1:09:40
Speaker 1: not even sure he has a contract with them, so
1:09:42
Speaker 1: I don't know. I find that to be a little
1:09:44
Speaker 1: strange here. Otherwise a pretty standard pull apart segment. We
1:09:47
Speaker 1: had chaos at the beginning of the show, so I mean,
1:09:51
Speaker 1: there really wasn't anything terribly different about what they did
1:09:53
Speaker 1: here outside of DA's, you know, getting some blood on
1:09:56
Speaker 1: his head. The main event of the show was a
1:10:01
Speaker 1: Tony Kahan special, his favorite match. It was an all
1:10:07
Speaker 1: star eight man tag team match the aw World Champion
1:10:13
Speaker 1: Hangman Adam Page teaming with Kenny Omega and Jet Speed Speedball,
1:10:19
Speaker 1: Mike Bailey and Kevin Knight to take on the TNT
1:10:23
Speaker 1: champion Kyle Fletcher, Josh Alexander and the Young Bucks. For
1:10:30
Speaker 1: the Bucks entrance, they had their regular music the lower third, though,
1:10:34
Speaker 1: where their name usually would be just said these guys again.
1:10:40
Speaker 1: Then they showed footage from earlier today of them selling
1:10:42
Speaker 1: signed eight y tens for fans for twenty bucks. It's terrible.
1:10:48
Speaker 1: How how you get to treat these guys like that.
1:10:51
Speaker 1: It's terrible. So the Babyfaces cleared the ring early and
1:10:54
Speaker 1: then they dove out onto the heels. Later in the match,
1:10:57
Speaker 1: Alexander set up for a move while he and Speedball
1:11:00
Speaker 1: were on the barricade. Kevin Knight, though, took out Alexander
1:11:03
Speaker 1: with a dive from the top rope. Nick Jackson and
1:11:06
Speaker 1: Fletcher they teamed up for a tk driver on Kevin
1:11:08
Speaker 1: Knight in the ring, and then Nick immediately hit the
1:11:11
Speaker 1: same move with his brother on the apron or from
1:11:14
Speaker 1: the apron to the floor on Speedball, and that took
1:11:17
Speaker 1: us into one final commercial break. Late in the match,
1:11:20
Speaker 1: the Bucks ended up in the ring with Omega and
1:11:23
Speaker 1: Hangman held his hand out. Then Omega tagged him in
1:11:28
Speaker 1: and we got flashbacks here of Revolution twenty twenty, still
1:11:32
Speaker 1: one of the greatest matches in AW history. So the
1:11:37
Speaker 1: former Elite members all traded shots. We were in overtime
1:11:41
Speaker 1: here Alexander held Knight up in the pile driver position.
1:11:45
Speaker 1: Nick spiked Kevin Knight. Fletcher followed up with a brainbuster
1:11:48
Speaker 1: and then pinned Kevin Knight to win it for the Heels.
1:11:52
Speaker 1: After the match was over, Lance Archer and Rocky Romero
1:11:56
Speaker 1: they helped the Heels. Fletcher hit Omega with a chair
1:11:59
Speaker 1: to the gut, which the production crew mostly missed. Fletcher
1:12:03
Speaker 1: rolled Omega to the apron and then supplexed him through.
1:12:06
Speaker 1: I thought maybe it was a brainbuster, but you know,
1:12:08
Speaker 1: I watched it back. It was a supplex off. The
1:12:11
Speaker 1: apron threw a table that was set up on the floor.
1:12:14
Speaker 1: Fletcher came up bleeding from the back of his shoulder,
1:12:17
Speaker 1: so he sliced himself up pretty good. There. As one
1:12:20
Speaker 1: of the EMTs tended to Omega, Fletcher grabbed the EMT
1:12:24
Speaker 1: had like a headset mike, and he grabbed the EMT's
1:12:28
Speaker 1: mic and he said, oh, he's dead. He's dead, and
1:12:30
Speaker 1: the EMT placed a neck brace on Omega. Fletcher was
1:12:33
Speaker 1: talking shit to Hangman who was down laying in the ring.
1:12:36
Speaker 1: He was over by the apron and that is how
1:12:39
Speaker 1: they went off the air. Oh my god, they killed
1:12:43
Speaker 1: Kenny again. Yes, Kenny Omega has once again, at least
1:12:47
Speaker 1: for a few weeks. Been killed off here on this show.
1:12:51
Speaker 1: You know, I said it before. Kenny Omega is in
1:12:54
Speaker 1: that respect, he is very much like the Roman Reigns
1:12:58
Speaker 1: here for them. He will come back, he'll do some
1:13:02
Speaker 1: stuff for a little bit, and then they'll write him
1:13:04
Speaker 1: off pretty quickly thereafter with some sort of injury angle.
1:13:09
Speaker 1: They just did it with Roman Reigns actually the other week,
1:13:13
Speaker 1: and here we go again with Kenny Omega being written
1:13:16
Speaker 1: off in an injury angle here on TV. I remember
1:13:18
Speaker 1: when the Elite were with Okada and Jack Perry and
1:13:23
Speaker 1: Kenny Omega came back on TV, right. He was all
1:13:26
Speaker 1: dressed up and they beat him up and they put
1:13:29
Speaker 1: him on a stretcher and they bloodied him up. Like
1:13:31
Speaker 1: we've seen this song and dance before. Lots of action
1:13:35
Speaker 1: in the match. I mean, it's impossible to go through
1:13:38
Speaker 1: all of it, but you know the usual party match
1:13:41
Speaker 1: that you get here with these all star ape Man
1:13:44
Speaker 1: tag matches. It's just one big spot after another after
1:13:47
Speaker 1: another after another. As those types of matches go, which
1:13:52
Speaker 1: again we get them every single week, but as those
1:13:55
Speaker 1: types of matches go, this one was good. They put
1:13:58
Speaker 1: a ton of heat on Kyle Fletcher there at the
1:14:01
Speaker 1: very end, and they set up not one but two
1:14:03
Speaker 1: future opponents for him and put them in whatever order
1:14:07
Speaker 1: you want to put them in. I'm of the belief
1:14:09
Speaker 1: in watching this that they're setting up for Hangman and
1:14:12
Speaker 1: Fletcher in Toronto. It's also possible they're setting up for
1:14:16
Speaker 1: Fletcher and Omega and Kenny will be back in the
1:14:18
Speaker 1: next few weeks and they do that match. But then
1:14:20
Speaker 1: who does Hangman wrestle? Right, I would guess Okata or Takesha,
1:14:26
Speaker 1: But again I would have done a tag match. I
1:14:28
Speaker 1: just I like the idea of doing that tag match.
1:14:30
Speaker 1: I know you want to have a world championship match
1:14:32
Speaker 1: on the show. I get it. There's been talking rumors
1:14:36
Speaker 1: going around that they might main event the show with
1:14:38
Speaker 1: Copin Christian against FTR, which I actually think is kind
1:14:42
Speaker 1: of ridiculous if you don't have the tag team titles
1:14:44
Speaker 1: on the line in that match, that you would close
1:14:46
Speaker 1: the show with that, But especially if there's any chance
1:14:49
Speaker 1: of that, you can get away with not doing a
1:14:51
Speaker 1: World championship match on that show. They have so many
1:14:53
Speaker 1: other fucking titles it almost doesn't even matter Hangman Omega
1:14:58
Speaker 1: against Okata and Takesha. That's an attraction. Tag team match there,
1:15:02
Speaker 1: but it also ties into you know, this this story
1:15:06
Speaker 1: that they're telling with the two members of the Kallis family,
1:15:10
Speaker 1: so I'm kind of bummed they're not going in that direction.
1:15:14
Speaker 1: Hangman defending the championship against Kyle Fletcher. If that ends
1:15:17
Speaker 1: up being the match, it'll be a great match. I'm
1:15:21
Speaker 1: under no illusion of you know, getting a new champion
1:15:24
Speaker 1: crowned or anything like that, and it would be champion
1:15:26
Speaker 1: against champion, which I mean, it's not really ideal, but
1:15:31
Speaker 1: it's a great spot for Kyle Fletcher to be in
1:15:34
Speaker 1: if that's where he ends up. If each challenging for
1:15:36
Speaker 1: the world title on that pay per view, good for him.
1:15:41
Speaker 1: MJF and Mark brisco it seems pretty sensible to expect
1:15:46
Speaker 1: that their rematch will take place on that show, which
1:15:48
Speaker 1: is why I think we may see MJF screwing him
1:15:50
Speaker 1: over against the Keshtra this weekend. I don't know that
1:15:53
Speaker 1: we ever even get to Briscoe and Kyle Fletcher, so
1:15:58
Speaker 1: we'll see how that goes. But I thought it was
1:16:00
Speaker 1: a solid show on the whole, you know, especially, there
1:16:02
Speaker 1: were enough good matches here amidst all the chaos. I
1:16:06
Speaker 1: mentioned the women's match I mentioned the TAC team title
1:16:11
Speaker 1: match and then the main event, so that was all
1:16:14
Speaker 1: good stuff. But I will I will reiterate, you know,
1:16:18
Speaker 1: don't bring people back if you don't have something good
1:16:22
Speaker 1: for them to do. Don't do it like the Wardlow thing.
1:16:27
Speaker 1: I will continue to make fun of them for that,
1:16:28
Speaker 1: because it is just so like, there's no excuse for
1:16:31
Speaker 1: how comically absurd it is that they would bring back
1:16:35
Speaker 1: somebody like that. You know, he's not just a random schmo.
1:16:40
Speaker 1: You know, he's not Kenny Omega, but he's also not
1:16:43
Speaker 1: some random jabrone, even though they kind of book him
1:16:46
Speaker 1: that way, and they should have made a bigger deal
1:16:49
Speaker 1: about him being back, and we should have heard from
1:16:51
Speaker 1: him and we didn't, and now he's not even on
1:16:53
Speaker 1: the fucking show. Like, there's no excuse for that. It's
1:16:57
Speaker 1: just it's preposterous to me. Why even bring him back?
1:17:00
Speaker 1: If he disappeared and we didn't see him again, and
1:17:03
Speaker 1: Don Callas came out there next week and the week
1:17:05
Speaker 1: after and the week after with his family, if Wardlow
1:17:08
Speaker 1: wasn't there and they had eight people instead of nine,
1:17:11
Speaker 1: would anybody notice If people like me didn't bring it up,
1:17:15
Speaker 1: probably not nobody would notice and maybe nobody would care.
1:17:20
Speaker 1: But that's sad and very, very stupid. Here's a Twitter poll.
1:17:29
Speaker 1: How would you grade Dynamite from the twenty three hundred arena.
1:17:35
Speaker 1: Thirty percent give the show an A. Nineteen percent give
1:17:38
Speaker 1: the show a B. About seventeen percent roughly give the
1:17:42
Speaker 1: show a C. Thirty four point three percent give this
1:17:48
Speaker 1: show a D. That is with over eleven hundred votes
1:17:53
Speaker 1: in and counting. Sarah says, missing one week of TV
1:17:59
Speaker 1: is not a concern to me. However, if he does
1:18:02
Speaker 1: not show up for a month, I will agree. Well, Sarah,
1:18:05
Speaker 1: you're also you know, not realizing or just not mentioning
1:18:11
Speaker 1: the fact that even though he was technically on the
1:18:14
Speaker 1: show last week, he did nothing. So the way I
1:18:18
Speaker 1: look at it is that's two weeks in a row
1:18:20
Speaker 1: of no follow up. After bringing him back at the
1:18:23
Speaker 1: pay per view, you thought enough to do the angle
1:18:25
Speaker 1: with Swerve where he beat up Swerve and he beat
1:18:28
Speaker 1: up Prince Nana. And when they're ready to come back,
1:18:31
Speaker 1: I mean, if he's not back, you know next week,
1:18:34
Speaker 1: I'm sure Wardlow will be back just in time to
1:18:36
Speaker 1: be uh, you know, wrestling Swerve when Swerve comes back,
1:18:39
Speaker 1: and Swerve will beat him, but the follow up is
1:18:43
Speaker 1: so important. It's just there's there's just no logical explanation
1:18:47
Speaker 1: for it anyway. At Solomn Monsters, where you can go
1:18:51
Speaker 1: vote in the poll. At least we got some good matches, right,
1:19:01
Speaker 1: You take what you can get. We are currently at
1:19:06
Speaker 1: three fourteen on the likes. Not looking good for be
1:19:10
Speaker 1: the Booker. I don't think we're gonna have any issue
1:19:14
Speaker 1: getting to be the Booker on Friday, but as far
1:19:16
Speaker 1: as Wednesday, it's not looking good. Death scythe again, thank
1:19:23
Speaker 1: you for those gifted memberships. He also sent it to
1:19:25
Speaker 1: a couple of superchats, said not saying that Punk should
1:19:30
Speaker 1: have slapped Becky, he's so interested in Dynamite. His first
1:19:35
Speaker 1: superchat is about raw not saying that Punk should have
1:19:41
Speaker 1: slapped Becky, but he should have done what Roman Ones
1:19:43
Speaker 1: did with Stephanie in twenty sixteen when she tried to
1:19:48
Speaker 1: slap him and he grabbed her hand to prevent it. Yeah,
1:19:54
Speaker 1: but if nobody was going to run down to the
1:19:56
Speaker 1: ring to then attack Punk from behind, she would have
1:19:59
Speaker 1: just swung at him with the other hand, and so
1:20:03
Speaker 1: Punk grabs her other hand. Now we're at a stalemate.
1:20:06
Speaker 1: What happens, then if I'm Becky, I'm just kneeing him
1:20:09
Speaker 1: in the fucking balls. Can't stop that. We all know
1:20:13
Speaker 1: these people in WWE, they don't wear any protection down there.
1:20:17
Speaker 1: I think that's been well established. Also, how much of
1:20:21
Speaker 1: a big deal would it be if Mayui Watani left
1:20:23
Speaker 1: stardom and went to either WWE or AW It would
1:20:27
Speaker 1: be a very big deal. Maybe not to the people
1:20:31
Speaker 1: who don't follow Japanese wrestling, but anybody who knows Mayui Watani,
1:20:34
Speaker 1: that would be a very big deal. Dry Chickens says,
1:20:39
Speaker 1: Happy early thirty year anniversary to WCW Monday. Nitro for
1:20:44
Speaker 1: tomorrow when the Eagles and Cowboys play tomorrow night, I
1:20:47
Speaker 1: will be playing the Nitro theme. Nitro theme was awesome.
1:20:53
Speaker 1: The Nitro theme was bitchin Man. I love that theme. Carrie,
1:20:59
Speaker 1: have you watched the new season of Peacemaker? I didn't
1:21:03
Speaker 1: watch the first season of Peacemaker. I probably should though,
1:21:06
Speaker 1: because it was pretty well reviewed. Joseph Stewart Buyer Sell,
1:21:11
Speaker 1: John Williams Superman theme or Danny Elfman Batman theme. Danny
1:21:15
Speaker 1: Elfman Man, Danny Elfman for the win. Danny Elfman had
1:21:18
Speaker 1: some great music for the first, The Beatlejuice movie too,
1:21:24
Speaker 1: Danny Elfman is awesome. Were you a fan of the
1:21:30
Speaker 1: Men in Black movies? The first one? Yes, I didn't
1:21:33
Speaker 1: see the other ones. If he had stayed in e CW,
1:21:37
Speaker 1: do you think Sid would have become ECW champion and
1:21:40
Speaker 1: the face of e CW. I mean, if you would
1:21:43
Speaker 1: have stayed there and had a longer run, Yes, he
1:21:46
Speaker 1: would have been the champion, but no, he was not
1:21:48
Speaker 1: gonna be the face of ECW. Will you do a
1:21:51
Speaker 1: special review on Raven's documentary? No? If he did not
1:21:56
Speaker 1: get injured. Do you think Ahmed Johnson would have been
1:21:58
Speaker 1: a big star in WWE? They were certainly pushing him
1:22:03
Speaker 1: in that direction, so yes, I think he would have been.
1:22:07
Speaker 1: I didn't understand what he was saying eighty five percent
1:22:09
Speaker 1: of the time, I mean subtitles on my television screen.
1:22:12
Speaker 1: But had he not gotten injured as much and didn't
1:22:16
Speaker 1: hurt other people, then yes, he could have gone far. Uh.
1:22:22
Speaker 1: What do you think Ahmed Johnson's role would have been
1:22:25
Speaker 1: in the Attitude era if he had not left WWI
1:22:29
Speaker 1: I don't think he would have had much of a
1:22:31
Speaker 1: role in the Attitude era. Do you think Ahmed boy,
1:22:36
Speaker 1: you got a lot of Ahmed Johnson questions. Hey, do
1:22:38
Speaker 1: you think Ahmed Johnson will go into the WWE Hall
1:22:40
Speaker 1: of Fame? No? I do not. Have you seen the
1:22:44
Speaker 1: movie Cool World with Brad Pitt and Kim Basinger. No?
1:22:49
Speaker 1: Did you know Robert Pattinson? Not? Do I know him?
1:22:55
Speaker 1: Did you know Robert Pattinson's performance as Bruce Wayne was
1:22:59
Speaker 1: an inspiration of Kurt Cobain and River Phoenix. No? I
1:23:05
Speaker 1: did not. Actually, I'm amazed that you do. Though by
1:23:11
Speaker 1: or sale the Death Riders or the don Kallis family,
1:23:17
Speaker 1: I will still buy on the don Kallis family. You
1:23:20
Speaker 1: have a family that has Kazuchka Okata, Kenoski, Takeshta and
1:23:25
Speaker 1: Kyle Fletcher. I can't bet against that. That automatically makes
1:23:32
Speaker 1: it the better of the two options. Dry Chicken says,
1:23:39
Speaker 1: it's Lloyd Christmas, and he has a scale question for you,
1:23:41
Speaker 1: a scale question from zero to a million. What are
1:23:45
Speaker 1: the chances of brock Lesnar winning gold again in WWE?
1:23:55
Speaker 1: I can't put it at zero, but I'll put it
1:23:57
Speaker 1: as low as I can go without being zero, So
1:24:00
Speaker 1: I'll go one. I think his championship days are done
1:24:04
Speaker 1: Joseph says, buy or sell Raven's run in WCW or
1:24:08
Speaker 1: Raven's run in e CW, Raven's run in ECW. Did
1:24:13
Speaker 1: you watch the show Mama's Family and who is your
1:24:16
Speaker 1: favorite character from Mama's Family? I mean Thelma, of course,
1:24:26
Speaker 1: Vicky Lawrence. I watched some episodes of Mama's Family. I
1:24:30
Speaker 1: didn't watch it religiously, but you know, I was aware
1:24:35
Speaker 1: of the show. I saw some of the episodes, so
1:24:38
Speaker 1: I gotta go Thelma. Do you remember the Goldberg and
1:24:41
Speaker 1: Sid feud in WCW and were you a fan of
1:24:43
Speaker 1: the feud. I was not a fan of the feud,
1:24:45
Speaker 1: but I certainly remember Sid walking out to his car
1:24:48
Speaker 1: in the parking lot and finding that it was smashed
1:24:53
Speaker 1: into a pancake, standing on top of it and screaming
1:24:57
Speaker 1: Goldberg at the top of his lungs like a cartoon character.
1:25:03
Speaker 1: I certainly remember that. I mean, that's a classic late
1:25:10
Speaker 1: stage WCW. Dry Chickens says Tony Kahn was helping out
1:25:19
Speaker 1: pro wrestling fans today. Sure, unless you were one of
1:25:23
Speaker 1: the fans who had bought tickets to the show and
1:25:25
Speaker 1: now you can't go. But everybody else, Yes, I agree
1:25:31
Speaker 1: Joseph Stewart. How different would Seth Rollins's career be in
1:25:36
Speaker 1: WWE right now if they had gone with Roman against
1:25:39
Speaker 1: Dean Ambrose at WrestleMania thirty. I think Seth's career would
1:25:44
Speaker 1: be exactly where it is now. He would still be
1:25:48
Speaker 1: a top star for them. I will say, though, that
1:25:51
Speaker 1: would have been a very dumb idea, and I can
1:25:53
Speaker 1: understand why Seth would have been upset about that. The
1:25:56
Speaker 1: original plan for WrestleMania thirty was Roman Rain against Dean Ambrose,
1:26:01
Speaker 1: like they were gonna split the shield in December or
1:26:04
Speaker 1: January heading into WrestleMania thirty, and it was gonna be
1:26:08
Speaker 1: Roman and Dean one on one and Seth, he figures
1:26:13
Speaker 1: he may he maybe would have ended up as the
1:26:15
Speaker 1: guest referee for the met Like it's just awful, awful idea.
1:26:21
Speaker 1: It's a good thing that didn't happen. Death Sith at
1:26:31
Speaker 1: twenty nine dollars super Chat Punk wins the Royal Rumble.
1:26:35
Speaker 1: Instead of challenging Seth where he may or may not
1:26:39
Speaker 1: headline night one, He's gonna challenge Cody where he will
1:26:43
Speaker 1: definitely headline night two, and Punkin say, Seth, you're not
1:26:46
Speaker 1: worth it. You never were so fuck you. I would
1:26:52
Speaker 1: be down for punkin Cody. I would that, I would,
1:26:56
Speaker 1: I would be down for that. I feel like we
1:27:00
Speaker 1: would get some quality promos leading up to it. Linclex.
1:27:10
Speaker 1: ReHO in the Bank is cashed in credit to Riho.
1:27:15
Speaker 1: She only cut one promo in her entire time in aw,
1:27:18
Speaker 1: which was translated by Michael Nakazawa. And still over with
1:27:22
Speaker 1: the crowd, they Hey, they love ReHO. She always gets
1:27:25
Speaker 1: a reaction when she comes out. ReHO in the Bank.
1:27:33
Speaker 1: Duff's VIDs What do duck hunters like to eat with
1:27:37
Speaker 1: their cheese? Quackers? Quackers death side? What did the priest
1:27:45
Speaker 1: say to the altar boy who sneezed, bless you my child?
1:27:56
Speaker 1: Like quackers better? Not bad? But I I think I
1:28:00
Speaker 1: got I gotta go with Quackers over that gold standard
1:28:03
Speaker 1: with the five dollars super chut Aw is just flat
1:28:07
Speaker 1: out embarrassing. I know you like to see the good
1:28:10
Speaker 1: in a company, but Punk was right. Tony Kahan is
1:28:13
Speaker 1: not a boss? Why is that? Why is he not
1:28:19
Speaker 1: a boss? You didn't explain what you mean by that?
1:28:26
Speaker 1: I mean, I think again, I think he made a
1:28:28
Speaker 1: pretty wise business decision. Myself today by moving the show
1:28:34
Speaker 1: from eight pm to three pm. I don't know if
1:28:40
Speaker 1: that's what you're referring to, but Emperor Comment Dynamite gets
1:28:47
Speaker 1: an S plus plus plus just for Riho Enjoy Enjoy.
1:28:55
Speaker 1: She will be beaten and thrown into the scrap heap
1:28:58
Speaker 1: with the rest of them until the next Mercedes Challenger
1:29:01
Speaker 1: is named duffs VID's what's another name for an Asian assassin?
1:29:09
Speaker 1: Chinese Takeout? Chinese Takeout Getting Heat AW South Park edition.
1:29:21
Speaker 1: Oh my god, they killed Kenny, you bastards. Yeah again,
1:29:27
Speaker 1: they killed him again? Leott Paul, Though, do we know
1:29:34
Speaker 1: Wardlow's contract status? I wonder what WWE could do with
1:29:37
Speaker 1: him and force her gimmick to start, hopefully a good
1:29:41
Speaker 1: name and memorable song. You have right, Yeah, he'll get
1:29:45
Speaker 1: the Deaf Rebel Special just like everybody else. Not that
1:29:49
Speaker 1: his music is much better in AW, but I think
1:29:53
Speaker 1: WWE would absolutely take him. They put him in n
1:29:55
Speaker 1: XT and just try to get something out of him.
1:30:00
Speaker 1: How far he would go, it really depends on him.
1:30:03
Speaker 1: I think he could do well. I don't know what
1:30:05
Speaker 1: that looks like, though, It depends, you know, how they
1:30:10
Speaker 1: use him really and how he acclimates to that system.
1:30:12
Speaker 1: I don't know what his contract status is. If his
1:30:15
Speaker 1: contract was on the verge of expiring, Tony KHM would
1:30:18
Speaker 1: not have brought him back at Forbidden Door. So my
1:30:20
Speaker 1: guess is whatever he had left on his contract, he
1:30:23
Speaker 1: missed so much time because of injuries, Tony is just
1:30:28
Speaker 1: going to attack that time on. So even if his
1:30:31
Speaker 1: contract was up in a matter of months, Tony could
1:30:34
Speaker 1: probably hold on to him for a lot longer than that,
1:30:37
Speaker 1: So he ain't going nowhere anytime soon. Duff's viz I
1:30:41
Speaker 1: went to a really emotional wedding last week. Even the
1:30:44
Speaker 1: cake was in tears. But Juliet, whoever in WWE WWE
1:30:55
Speaker 1: Shop spoiled aj Lee's return on X is probably out
1:30:59
Speaker 1: of a job today. Yeah, it's not a big deal.
1:31:04
Speaker 1: Who cares? I mean, really, it looked like an AI
1:31:08
Speaker 1: generated tweet and it was immediately deleted. But of course
1:31:13
Speaker 1: people on the internet, they immediately take snapshots, screenshots, and
1:31:18
Speaker 1: then they blow it up into something bigger. Honestly, the
1:31:21
Speaker 1: people who screenshotted it and shared that really, if you
1:31:27
Speaker 1: think about it, they If you want to blame anybody
1:31:30
Speaker 1: for spoiling aj Lee's return, blame those people. Because they
1:31:37
Speaker 1: didn't seem to have a problem blowing it up into
1:31:39
Speaker 1: a big story where now everybody knows. Uh, Griga, hey Solo,
1:31:45
Speaker 1: how you doing, Bud doing okay? I enjoy your replays. Question,
1:31:51
Speaker 1: do you think Punk and Rollins have made up after
1:31:55
Speaker 1: their beef? Thanks again, well, thank you, Griga. I don't
1:32:01
Speaker 1: think there ever was a beef. I think they did
1:32:04
Speaker 1: a very good job of convincing you that there was
1:32:06
Speaker 1: a beef, and they continue to do a very good
1:32:09
Speaker 1: job of convincing people that they really don't like each other.
1:32:13
Speaker 1: But I don't think there ever was any real beef.
1:32:18
Speaker 1: And I think Seth Rollins is very happy to be
1:32:20
Speaker 1: working with Cmpunk, who is somebody who trained him for
1:32:24
Speaker 1: free very early in his career, and I don't think
1:32:28
Speaker 1: he ever forgot that. Anyway, I am going to be
1:32:34
Speaker 1: heading out tomorrow hitting the road. I'm headed to Philadelphia, Philadelphia.
1:32:42
Speaker 1: I will soon be inside you because I will be
1:32:45
Speaker 1: going to House of Glory, our return show in Philadelphia
1:32:49
Speaker 1: tomorrow night, eight pm, airing live on Triiller TV Plus.

1:32:57
Speaker 1: are going to be at the venue, I hope I
1:32:58
Speaker 1: get to see you there. Say hello, but we got
1:33:01
Speaker 1: some big matches on the car. We're gonna have champion
1:33:03
Speaker 1: against champion, title for title, the House of Glory World
1:33:08
Speaker 1: Champion Charles Mason defending against the Progress the New Progress
1:33:13
Speaker 1: World Champion Derese Bully Ray puts the Crown Jewel title
1:33:19
Speaker 1: on the line. Big rematch against Zillafa two. Bully has
1:33:22
Speaker 1: some history in that city. By the way, Shatzi and
1:33:26
Speaker 1: Priscilla Kelly go one on one and our tag team
1:33:28
Speaker 1: Champion's main event, Jay Lyon and miight As Black defend
1:33:32
Speaker 1: the titles against Leo Rush and Action Andretti. So I
1:33:38
Speaker 1: will be on the call. I will be there in
1:33:40
Speaker 1: Philadelphia tomorrow. Hopefully you can be as well. But if not, right,
1:33:46
Speaker 1: no major wrestling shows, no pay per views otherwise on
1:33:50
Speaker 1: Thursday night, go check out hog I think you'll enjoy it.
1:33:55
Speaker 1: The Yatagaratsu with a five dollars super chat. I somehow
1:34:01
Speaker 1: feel like Jay Usso missed an opportunity to call his
1:34:04
Speaker 1: super kick yeat Chin music. I'm very happy he didn't
1:34:11
Speaker 1: do that. I'm glad he didn't as if enough people
1:34:19
Speaker 1: haven't stolen that move and bastardized it over the years. Now,
1:34:24
Speaker 1: they're going to steal the name of the move too.
1:34:29
Speaker 1: Will I be visiting the Rocky Steps. I don't think
1:34:32
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be able to have time to visit the
1:34:35
Speaker 1: Rocky Steps. I'm gonna have just enough time to check
1:34:40
Speaker 1: into my hotel, put my shit down and leave and
1:34:42
Speaker 1: go right to the venue. Do the show, go back
1:34:46
Speaker 1: to my hotel, wake up the next morning, have breakfast,
1:34:48
Speaker 1: and hit the road so I can get home in
1:34:49
Speaker 1: time to do SmackDown. It's a big SmackDown. I don't
1:34:52
Speaker 1: want to miss that show on Friday night, so I'm
1:34:57
Speaker 1: I'm gonna hit it and quit it in Philadelphia. But
1:34:59

1:35:14
Speaker 1: and no brack lesnar on the show. But obviously we
1:35:18
Speaker 1: will find out. I'm sure Brock's name will be invoked
1:35:22
Speaker 1: because he is supposed to be on SmackDown the following
1:35:24
Speaker 1: week and then CM Punk He's going to be there
1:35:29
