Latest / Bradders Grappers / BRADDERS GRAPPERS Epi 28.5: INFINITE - ATOMIC!!
Transcript
- 0:28So a lot of the, some of the matches I've seen where they got
- 0:34announced immediately my head was thinking, right, we're going
- 0:37to get this happened and that happened.
- 0:40So we'll we'll see when we when we come to it.
- 0:45However, despite this being a future shock heavy edition, we
- 0:53have seen a lot taking place down the M62O, the M 60s.
- 1:02Sorry, is it M62? Is it M60M60?
- 1:08Yeah, the 62. I've I've been down the M 60s so
- 1:13much I'm confusing myself down towards Liverpool because our
- 1:24very own roving reporter in mild Smith has been attending shows
- 1:31Liverpool side as we have infinite and atomic and at this
- 1:38point I will hand the microphone to you run wild and run free
- 1:44while I also on a Doctor Pepper. I'm going to try blitz through
- 1:50these shows, like I'm going to try to do speedy reviews on
- 1:53these because I don't know how long we're on the recording.
- 1:56So yeah, we'll try blitz through what I remember.
- 2:03So on the we had infinite promotions bashing Bootle at the
- 2:10wonderful Bootle Cricket Club. I love this venue.
- 2:13This venue is fantastic. Yeah, so the first match, which
- 2:19surprisingly this was the first match of the show.
- 2:22And if any Brit Rest fans saw this as an opening match.
- 2:28Do you like how is that an opening match?
- 2:31So we had the new Infinite tag team champions defending against
- 2:37Act 2. So Young Guns against Act 2 was
- 2:40your opening match. Yeah.
- 2:43And this delivered as two of the best tag teams in the UK scene
- 2:47at the minute. What what more could you expect
- 2:50from Young Guns versus active? Just phenomenal tag team
- 2:54wrestling between two of the very best.
- 2:59Majority of the match saw the young guns dominate Active.
- 3:05We saw a lot of rate teamwork between the Young Guns where
- 3:13they were isolating Benjamin Harland for quite a lot of the
- 3:18match. Jack Knudson had to get the
- 3:23crowd behind Ben to make the hot tag and when the hot tag finally
- 3:27come into Ben Harland, Ben and Jack were cooking on gas.
- 3:34Like I enjoyed this match. Great opener.
- 3:42Young Guns won with a doomsday device to Jack Knudson and my
- 3:46God, it looked like Jack Knudson broke his neck.
- 3:50The way he fell from that doomsday device was scary, man.
- 3:55But yeah, good title defence for Young Guns.
- 4:04Second match we saw the Savage Gen himself, Infinite GM manager
- 4:12PL Dotson, everybody's favourite with his protege the big Scouse
- 4:20lad Hannibal Hector where he went one-on-one with the
- 4:26Liverpool ace Matt Tucker. Solid match between 2:00 as seen
- 4:34this match the week before in Warrington when it was the
- 4:37Infinite show in Warrington. In this match I thought Matt
- 4:42Tucker was going to get some revenge and pick up a like
- 4:44pinfall victory because Datsun beat him in Warrington.
- 4:48So I thought OK, if they're going off the Warrington show,
- 4:53Tucker's going to pick up the win and tie it up and go 1 on.
- 4:57Now Big Suede. So the majority of this match
- 5:01was Datsun being an absolute coward using the big scouselawed
- 5:09Hector as his bodyguard to like distract Tucker quite a lot
- 5:14throughout the match cause a lot of distractions to Tucker.
- 5:17So Tucker was like on the back foot quite a lot due to
- 5:23interactions from Hector. It was a good technical match
- 5:30between these two with Tucker hitting quite a few power moves
- 5:34on Dachshund where you'd think Tucker nearly had the free
- 5:38count, but once again Dots and Sheets picking up the pinfall
- 5:47victory was some brat and Knuckles as expected.
- 5:52Got it for Tucker because I really thought he deserved the
- 5:56winner, but Dachshund wants to give him himself the wins.
- 6:00The absolute carani. I know Dalton's not watching
- 6:09this, so I can say what I want about you, you absolute Karani.
- 6:15I'll just clip it. It just DM Dalton.
- 6:25So after that match ended, Dalton decided to do his GM
- 6:30duties and then we got the contract signing for Mickey
- 6:37Barnes versus Isaac N at the next show, the Azvec show.
- 6:44So with with this contract signing, it was so weird, right?
- 6:49So the ring crew set up the table all right.
- 6:53Dodson told him to take the tables down because he doesn't
- 6:56want any hardcore things happening within an infinite
- 7:00ring. Though the way they did this
- 7:05contract signing was so basically eyes that had the
- 7:11clipboard, he's just nonchalantly like signed the
- 7:18clipboard. I don't know if I've sent you
- 7:21the clip of how he did the signature.
- 7:23It was just so like when you, when you look at the footage,
- 7:31it's just brilliant. So Isaac shoves the clipboard
- 7:36and Mickey Barnes and just like, slams it to his chest.
- 7:41So weird thing with this. So Dachshund said to Isaac he
- 7:47should have read the fine print. So apparently Isaac couldn't lay
- 7:51the first hand on Mickey Barnes before the match.
- 7:57But yeah, Isaac did not go ahead with the fine print.
- 8:02He laid the first hands on Mickey Barnes and then it led to
- 8:05a three on one beat down on Isaac North.
- 8:10So yeah. To be fair, Mickey Barnes and
- 8:13Isaac N seems like an absolutely cracking match.
- 8:17It's going to be a good one. This one's been brewing for a
- 8:20while, so yeah, I might have to persuade you to come to an
- 8:26infinite show one day. I mean, is that the Aspects
- 8:30brewery? Is that the aspects?
- 8:31You know that venue so. They aren't they meant to be
- 8:36doing one in Manchester sometime this year.
- 8:39Summertime. Yeah, it's supposed to be
- 8:41summertime for Manchester. Well.
- 8:45I'm interested to see what venue they they go for on that.
- 8:49Yeah, I'm interested to see what venue they go for.
- 8:51And Will Young Guns still be tag team champions?
- 8:54Because if they go into Manchester, Young Guns, the
- 8:58faces in Manchester. So it'll be interesting to see
- 9:01if the young guns are healing Manchester.
- 9:04Depends how the how they go it, because I have known the young
- 9:09guns to come to Manchester and be heals.
- 9:12I think it, well, that's a that's a weird choice to go
- 9:16down, but. Yeah.
- 9:19So after the contract signing, we've got Dan Evans is open
- 9:26challenge match. I predicted who the open
- 9:32challenge taker was going to be before the match even started
- 9:36because I said to Neil, I was like I said to Neil outside
- 9:40before the show, I said we've figured out who it is.
- 9:43I said it's it's that Gibson and he was like, no, it's not.
- 9:47I was like, why lie to me? I know it's not a Gibson.
- 9:52He's here, he's in Liverpool. Even though I knew it was Zach
- 9:56Gibson, I still popped. It was, yeah.
- 10:02That's what we call you melt sick as we know you know.
- 10:05I know, I know. Yeah, I lost my marbles.
- 10:10And my God, what a match this was between two infinite
- 10:13originals. Jesus Christ, if if you were
- 10:19there watching this between these two, Oh my God, you could
- 10:24tell they've been in the game for a long time.
- 10:28Like it. It was just great.
- 10:32British wrestling between 2 legends, 2 legends just beating
- 10:40the living crap out of each other move for move.
- 10:44Just absolute yeah. Wow, I just watching the match.
- 10:52I just watching clips back of how good this match was.
- 10:57It was brilliant. I I enjoyed it.
- 11:01I know quite a few of others enjoyed the match as well.
- 11:06I'm happy with who won the pit, who got the pinfall.
- 11:10Dan Evans beat Zach Gibson, which I'm so happy for.
- 11:14Dan picking up the huge win over Zach.
- 11:19Yeah, I want to see that match again just one more time,
- 11:23because if you run that one more time, I will be very happy.
- 11:30Please run it one more time. You've heard him.
- 11:35Yeah, just one more time. So next we had a surprise #1
- 11:47contendership match for Scott Olbermann's title in which we
- 11:53saw a triple threat match between Tom McCall, Ricky Regan,
- 12:00and Tom Felwell. Solid, solid triple threat
- 12:07match. So coming into this match,
- 12:10right, I thought Tom Felwell was going to come out as a heel
- 12:15because previous Infinite shows we've been calling him a donkey
- 12:19because he's he's been a heel. He come out as a face, which
- 12:23threw me completely off. I was like, why?
- 12:28He's Foulwell coming out as a face in Liverpool and he's not
- 12:33even like running us down. Like, yeah.
- 12:38So the story of this match was it was basically both just the
- 12:45fans cheering for both. Toms, anyone but Ricky.
- 12:52It was a nice mixture of talent. Ricky Regan, it's the second
- 13:01time I've seen him now, the second time in Infinite
- 13:04Promotions. I like this guy.
- 13:07He's got something about him. He's he's a bit different his
- 13:13his ring gear, like his entrance gear.
- 13:16He comes down to the ring with his like little cowboy jacket
- 13:19and cowboy flares that he takes off.
- 13:23I dig it. It's somewhat different than
- 13:26this gimmick name. The whole shebang.
- 13:28Yeah, I rate it. I rate it Monk Stallion.
- 13:33Always great seeing the Monk Stallion face on him.
- 13:37I love Fell. Fell.
- 13:39Well, Fell's a great guy. The winner of this match I'm I'm
- 13:51happy with who won the match because I've seen this match
- 13:54before an infinite promotions and my God, it was a banger.
- 13:59So the winner of this match was Tom McCall.
- 14:04And so after the match ended, the lights went out, Tom
- 14:09Mccall's in the ring and the mysterious Scott Auberman comes
- 14:14out. Tom McCall has got his straps
- 14:17down at this point looking like Kurt Angle perk McCall.
- 14:28Scott raises the lineage title up to McCall and it looks like
- 14:33was setting up for Auberman versus McCall, which I've seen
- 14:37this match before and I know it's a banger.
- 14:39So titles on the line. So you know it's going to be
- 14:43bigger of a match. Looking forward to it.
- 14:47I was going to say, just putting them two together, having never
- 14:54seen them face like one-on-one, it is one of those matches that
- 14:57wouldn't make me want to actually come and see it.
- 15:01It's a great match. I've seen it last year.
- 15:09I think it might have been, no, it was last year at some point
- 15:15when they ran it in the Neverton venue and they had no business
- 15:19being that good. It was a crazy match.
- 15:25I will do some checking. Yeah, it was 20.
- 15:32It was a Neverton chill. It was early 2024.
- 15:43Yeah, early 2024 from what I remember.
- 15:50How about I look at the messages I sent to Tom McCall, October
- 16:022024. Yeah, they ran this match before
- 16:09and I'm glad to go in with it again.
- 16:13Yes, 19th of the 10th 2024 in your scouts final stop at the
- 16:21Seat Bennett Social Club in Netterton.
- 16:24Yeah, so with the title being on the line, my God, this is going
- 16:29to be another banger between these two.
- 16:33So the penultimate match we saw Lewis Johnson against Krichy, so
- 16:42we saw Critchie come to the ring.
- 16:44Have you seen the footage of Critchie come into the ring with
- 16:48Isaac Kearney? No, I have just found your your
- 16:55videos from the show so I will give them a look afterwards.
- 17:00I didn't get footage of Critchie's entrance, but if you
- 17:03go on Isaac Kearney's, like, Facebook page, what a moment
- 17:08that was. I seen Critchie come to the ring
- 17:12with Isaac Gurney, like, wow, good lad, Critch, nice lad.
- 17:17So to give him that moment was, yeah, it was.
- 17:21It was nice. The match itself, I can't
- 17:25remember too much from this match.
- 17:27I know. I think from what I recall, it
- 17:30was pretty much Lewis dominating this match.
- 17:34I don't know if they were short for time or if they were wanting
- 17:39to get to the main event quite quick.
- 17:42The only thing I'd say about this match, the finish was
- 17:46weird. It was an odd finish.
- 17:48So basically Critchy has like gone from like a move in the
- 17:57corner or like I think Lewis dropped him head first into the
- 18:04middle comp like turnbuckle and it looked like Critchie knocked
- 18:10himself out and then Lewis picked up a free count.
- 18:13It was a very, very bizarre finish.
- 18:17I don't think it was the intended finish.
- 18:19It was a good match, but yeah, the the finish was a bit BS.
- 18:25It just looked like Critchie knocked himself out.
- 18:28I don't know what the intended finish was, but a few of us in
- 18:37the crowd said it was a bit of a crappy finish.
- 18:42Great match, but the finish was just a bit.
- 18:45Yeah, unsure if it was intended or not, but it happens.
- 18:51It doesn't take away from the show.
- 18:52It's still a good match. And then the final match was for
- 18:57the infinite World title scene. Trent 7 defend against Kid Lycos
- 19:032 in a instant classic. Just yeah, Brent at the minute,
- 19:16it's always good seeing Trent like and the fact that he's
- 19:22champion of infinite now. I'm so happy that we're getting
- 19:25to see a lot of Trent 7 in Liverpool because you can tell
- 19:32he's been in NXT, you can tell he's been in TNA, you can tell
- 19:35he's been in aw. The guy is phenomenal.
- 19:39And going up against Kid Lycos too.
- 19:41Yeah, instant banger. The I'll tell you what got
- 19:49cracked me up during the show. Guess what?
- 19:52They were chanting to Kid Lycos too throughout the match.
- 19:58Go on. They were calling him a badger.
- 20:03The kids in the crowd, for some reason, decided to call him a
- 20:06badger. Any Mashed potato around or?
- 20:12No, and Lycos is like, I am not a badger, I'm a wolf.
- 20:23And another thing, Oh my God, I lost count of how many chops did
- 20:29Trent did to Lycos in this match.
- 20:31I think he did about 30 plus chops to Lycos in this match.
- 20:37If you saw Lycos his chest after the match, he looked like he had
- 20:43his chest painted red. It looked like he got a tattoo
- 20:48of Trent's handprint. It was a crazy main event.
- 20:55Trent retained with the Birmingham run, Birmingham and a
- 20:59Lycos too and it's sealed off a superb show.
- 21:09Badger. Yeah, instead of being kid
- 21:13Lycos, how about would be Badger?
- 21:17Just drop the whole Lycos thing and just go badger.
- 21:21To be fair, it's it's fiend. Shoot, if he if he came out,
- 21:24we'll be like the old meme from like.
- 21:27Badger, badger. Mushroom Badger.
- 21:30Badger, badger. Mushroom Badger.
- 21:32Badger. Dave, more than Nomad ever comes
- 21:36back as your idea, like yours come out as Badger.
- 21:44Just come out with like animals of Farthing wood.
- 21:49He'll make you money, just run with it.
- 21:52You definitely make money. Yeah, great show all around.
- 21:58And then the following day we saw the crossover show between
- 22:02Atomic and Burning Heart. Yeah, this, this show was a
- 22:10banger. I I'd say you were unlucky for
- 22:17missing that show, but you're Eve's and I've heard good thing
- 22:20about Eve. So you were split for Choice.
- 22:24Wrestling on that Sunday was crazy and we saw a lot of
- 22:29fantastic raps. This was no exception.
- 22:33This was phenomenal and the the starting match was the Atomic
- 22:39title match and it started off between Teddy and Chris.
- 22:44Was it as? Was it as brutal as I can
- 22:49imagine it being? That animal my God what a match
- 22:55is weird. It was weird seeing him like
- 22:57clash because the northwest strung so this was the first
- 23:02time I've seen him clash before. I know.
- 23:04When he. Was 2 bit.
- 23:08I I I think it was the 2023 in December.
- 23:16It was, it was a late birthday present for me and it was 2 bit
- 23:21against Chris Ridgway because earlier that that afternoon 2
- 23:28bit and Joe Kessler had lost the tag.
- 23:32No, he didn't lose the tag titles.
- 23:34They lost to grizzled young veterans who'd come back over.
- 23:39So I think it was their first tour back.
- 23:43And then in the evening we had two bit in Ridgeway and Jesus
- 23:49Christ. The the Hicks.
- 23:53It was effectively, I'm just going to beat the shit out of
- 23:56you. Yeah, and you're going to do the
- 23:58same to me? Story of this match exactly how
- 24:01you played it just wow I loved with this match as well there
- 24:05was a lot of kissing going on we're just kissing each of us at
- 24:09the start of the match and we got a chant of one more time he.
- 24:16Didn't come out with his creator character then.
- 24:23I can't remember what the what the character's name was, but it
- 24:27was a play on Chris Rich. Chris Brewing.
- 24:33That's the one. Yeah, phenomenal match.
- 24:41The kicks Chris did to Teddy in this match, it actually looked
- 24:45like it winded him and there was a series.
- 24:49There was a series of slaps and chops to Teddy.
- 24:54That doesn't surprise me. Teddy was getting battered.
- 24:59He eventually picked up the win with his.
- 25:02I'm trying to think how he ended the match.
- 25:06I think it was his top row. Was it the one where he runs in
- 25:12the corner and does like a cross body?
- 25:17Cross body, yeah, yeah. But I think he like a few of
- 25:21them moves in a sequence before hitting the finisher to like,
- 25:25take it out of Chris. So it wasn't like it actually
- 25:29looked like it finished him off because you know how Teddy's
- 25:33done it before in the past, hit that finisher and it's looked
- 25:36like it shouldn't have finished him off.
- 25:39Yeah, this time he's actually hit a sequence of moves before
- 25:42finishing it. So it looked like it actually
- 25:45was a finishing move. So yeah, great opener.
- 25:52Second match we saw Kid Lycos 2's open challenge match and it
- 25:59was taken on by everyone's favourite Sam Bailey.
- 26:04I'm. I'm just looking at the matches
- 26:07now. Yeah, Sam Bailey took on Kid
- 26:10Lycos 2. This match was it was so funny,
- 26:18like Bailey just been an absolute coward and just like
- 26:25trying to get away from Lycos. I think another pod.
- 26:29Oh yeah, I've watched a review of I'm going to shout him out.
- 26:36Ewan from the top rope on YouTube.
- 26:40I reviewed, I've watched his review of him.
- 26:43He said the exact same thing. He said he enjoyed how Bailey
- 26:48was being like an absolute coward.
- 26:50There was a spot during the match where like Bailey's on
- 26:53the, you know, the stage in bit, like the entry bit, Lycos is in
- 26:57the ring and he's telling Sandy beaches to get him back when
- 27:01he's like a whole 6 foot back. If it was brilliant, Bailey just
- 27:09being like such an absolute coward in this match, Lycos
- 27:18being Lycos just hitting like speedy move after speedy move,
- 27:24just absolutely playing with Sam Bailey.
- 27:28The amount of times as well he tried the brain Buster, I think
- 27:34he went for the brain Buster like 4 times.
- 27:37It was brilliant. I'm trying to think of which
- 27:43show it was or went to. It could have been mystery or if
- 27:50it wasn't mystery it was attack and I think he must have said
- 27:56brain Buster at least 5 or 6 times.
- 27:59Yeah, I think it. Was a mystery show on the Sunday
- 28:01actually when I was watching. Yeah he did this against Bailey.
- 28:04I think he attempted the brain Buster like 5 times.
- 28:08And people in in the chat, we're getting so annoyed.
- 28:13Why are you shouting out what you're going to do?
- 28:16It's not a surprise. And everyone explaining to this
- 28:21like Canadian or or American just going, no, this is what he
- 28:25does. But then I think after like the
- 28:30fourth attempt, he then started typing brain Buster.
- 28:34Oh, it's, it's funny. Yeah, Just Bailey picks up the
- 28:44surprise pinfall victory by grabbing them the ropes.
- 28:51Same Old Bailey. It ends Bailey's losing streak
- 28:55and Atomic. The losing streak's over.
- 29:01Funny thing was, Bailey said. He made me crack up.
- 29:09He said 2025 is the year of Bailey.
- 29:19So it looks like he's running with that gagging atomic now how
- 29:23we say in 2025 is the year of Bailey.
- 29:30Yeah, he's moving on. I don't think Sam's ever
- 29:36recovered after, yeah, losing 10 AJ.
- 29:42I think it's just completely knocked him.
- 29:45Yeah, the lost 10. AJ sent him back.
- 29:50Then he got sent to the shadow realm when he went over the top
- 29:53route during that rumble. Taking a squash match.
- 29:55Yeah, yeah. Rob Drake versus Joe Blazer.
- 30:04This this was good, man. So Blazer comes down to the
- 30:09ring. Oh no.
- 30:13So Rob Drake's come to the ring, caught a promo saying how he
- 30:17wants Joe Kessler, but Joe Kessler's got a match further on
- 30:21in the night. So we did get a job, but we got
- 30:24another job. Joe Blazer, everyone's
- 30:29favourite. So Blazer comes down to the
- 30:32ring, cutting a promo saying oh how he loves Manchester and the
- 30:36City of Manchester is wonderful. It's greeting all the
- 30:39Liverpoolians as he was in Manchester.
- 30:44Pop in the confetti. It was it was the thing of
- 30:54Friday night seeing Blazer Bridge Pro when I was when I was
- 30:59filming, he got knocked to the outside, ended up being on the
- 31:05table I was sat at and just knocked the phone out me.
- 31:10That sounds like a blazer. I think he told me to F off.
- 31:15I need to go back and see what he actually said.
- 31:18I did. Really, well, catching my phone.
- 31:22It sounds like a blazer. So the bell rings right, Blazers
- 31:27taking off his shiny coat and then he gets drilled by a spear
- 31:33by Rob trade and then Drake picks him up and then I think he
- 31:42I don't know what he hit him with.
- 31:43I think he hit him with like a Drake driver or he's like he's
- 31:47finishing move. He's absolutely dropped him on
- 31:51his head. He picked up the freak out.
- 31:54I think the match was like 10 seconds long.
- 31:57Blazer took longer, taking off his jacket.
- 32:03Just yeah, crazy. I was just seeing if they had a
- 32:09time thing on a cage much but they haven't.
- 32:11They've just got the results. I think it was like 10 seconds.
- 32:18If you're going to do a squash match, that's how you do it.
- 32:27So then we got Mark Haskins promo next saying that he's
- 32:32having to vacate his title because he's got broken leg.
- 32:36I think he did his ACL. So Haskins vacates his title,
- 32:41announces the vacant title match.
- 32:47He announced all the talents of the ring.
- 32:49So for the Burning Heart title, we had Joe Kessler versus Troy
- 32:54Ryan versus Kenny Williams Davis, and I said Kid Lycos,
- 33:04don't I? You didn't, but you have no.
- 33:09Kid Lycos, this match was yeah, again, another brilliant match.
- 33:22So the story of this match was it was effectively everyone at
- 33:29the start going against Kenny Williams and basically wanted to
- 33:35get Kenny Williams out of the match because he's the Claire
- 33:40Hill in the match and there's three faces in Kessler, Troy and
- 33:46Lycos. So effectively the start of the
- 33:50match was all three of them guys focusing on Kenny Williams up
- 33:56until Kenny Williams is entourage.
- 34:01Colton Davis started interfering within the match quite a few
- 34:05times going from like the burning heart story, like angle
- 34:11Colton Colton was focusing on Kid Lycos in this match.
- 34:15He didn't really interfere with Tesla and Troy.
- 34:18He was after Kid Lycos, so quite a few times he grabbed him off
- 34:23from like the top, top turnbuckle, grabbed his leg, and
- 34:28then during the match he's absolutely drilled him into the
- 34:33car in a turnbuckle on the outside.
- 34:35Lycos gets taken out of the match for a little bit, so then
- 34:39it's basically just Troy, Kenny and Kessler basically turned
- 34:44into a triple threat. Lycos comes back into the ring,
- 34:50I'll say a good 3-4 minutes later with a shoulder brace on.
- 34:55So Lycos clearly banged up. I thought the match was going to
- 35:03go to Troy because I felt through majority of this match
- 35:09Troy was dominating and Troy was once again on fine form.
- 35:16But who won the match? Makes sense because he's one of
- 35:21the Burning Hearts main guys. The title eventually ended up
- 35:26going to kick Lycos, which makes sense.
- 35:30I'm happy, happy for Lycos. I would have loved to see it on
- 35:34Troy though. Yeah, overall great title match,
- 35:39right winner. There was a moment in this
- 35:42match, so I think the fans were giving Kenny Williams some stick
- 35:50and he accidentally told him to fuck off, Yeah, despite being
- 35:56APG show. And he went, oh.
- 35:59To be fair I think that happened when it was at the Academy in
- 36:03Manchester. I seem to recall everyone having
- 36:07a go with him and him just completely forgetting.
- 36:13But Even so, the crowd that that day was not really APG crowd
- 36:18either. And Kenny, Kenny's reaction, he
- 36:20was like, Oh well. It's all, it's always funny when
- 36:29you have supposedly like a PG crowd, I'm sorry, PG show and
- 36:35someone will just drop an F bomb or something like that and the
- 36:40face suddenly changes because it's like Rhino at Future Shock
- 36:46a couple years ago when you had ACP Riley basically being like a
- 36:52Dick and you had Rhino grabbing them, grabbing the microphone in
- 36:58like the first show. I know this is I know this is a
- 37:02family friendly show or APG show.
- 37:05It says, but sometimes you've just got to call things as as
- 37:09they are. And he's an asshole and you
- 37:14could just see everyone like upstairs in like the the gal
- 37:17gallery bit just all put in like face palming, just going, Oh no,
- 37:22what you're doing Rhino, God bless him.
- 37:31So yeah, new champion with Kid Lycos so be interesting to see
- 37:36how the title of defence goes through.
- 37:40Moving on to. I take it Lycos was a fan
- 37:43favourite then? Yeah, Lycos was a fan favourite
- 37:46in this. Moving on to the scramble match,
- 37:53we had FTM Krichie and Tom Mcgull going on going against
- 38:00the seminar winner in Judas Grey, Keenan Krishna, Leon, Grey
- 38:07Lily, Winter and Pele. Fun little scramble match, no
- 38:13complaints, everyone getting their bits in, everyone looking
- 38:18on fine form. I feel like the stand out
- 38:21performer in this match. It was a tough one because
- 38:26everyone was getting their bit in but I felt like the match.
- 38:34Judas Grace stood out in this match.
- 38:35I felt like Judas was getting a lot of his signature moves and I
- 38:39feel like that we're using this match to spotlight Judas and
- 38:44show how good he is because we we all know how good the talent
- 38:48is, but I felt like the match was focusing more towards Judas.
- 38:56Shall I say I do enjoy watching Judas?
- 38:59Yeah, Judas is great. I'm.
- 39:01Fairly new to seeing him on shows but every time I see him
- 39:05it's it's always an absolute joy to see.
- 39:11Despite it being 8 persons like all man for themselves, there
- 39:16was a little angle in this where Pele was teaming with Lily
- 39:20Winter because their new found friends.
- 39:23So they were teaming up for a little bit and obviously FTM
- 39:26were working together as a team. So we saw a lot of like tag team
- 39:30moves, like the usual tag team moves from FTM.
- 39:34So yeah, FCM were working well as a unit.
- 39:39So you had Tom hit is like top row bulldog at the assistant
- 39:43bulldog. You had Tom hit is rebound
- 39:50lariat, which that is one of my favourite moves to watch.
- 39:54Tom's rebound lariat is a finger beauty.
- 39:57Yes. It is one of the best moves to
- 40:02watch. It's one of the best lyrics I've
- 40:05seen on the British scene. Yeah, it's fantastic.
- 40:09Because it actually looks devastating when he hits it.
- 40:16The finish was it was different for a scramble match, so we saw
- 40:22a double pin and it saw the winners being FTM.
- 40:29So one of the yeah, it was a double pin.
- 40:33I'm just, I'm just looking now at like the result, I'm thinking
- 40:37I'm going eight way. How, how on earth do you have
- 40:40FTM as winners if it's not A tag team thing?
- 40:44But now you've said that, it makes a bit more sense.
- 40:47I think it was Judas great. It took one of the pins I think,
- 40:51No, I think did pin. No, they pin 2 separate people I
- 40:56think. Or did they just it was
- 40:59confusing to watch. I know Judas Great took one of
- 41:02the pinfalls. I can't remember who took the
- 41:05other pinfall. Think it was maybe Max Brooker.
- 41:12I can't remember. But yeah, interesting outcome to
- 41:18the match, having A tag team win a scramble match.
- 41:20But hey, it's different and it opens up more opportunities for
- 41:26FTM now in Atomic. Do they what do they get for
- 41:31that? Do they get a title shot or
- 41:33where we where we go in with this because effectively it's a
- 41:37singles match, but our tag teams won it.
- 41:39So did they get A tag team title shot?
- 41:42Did they get, what do they get? Do they have to face each other?
- 41:47Like. Where are we going?
- 41:50Where are we going with this? I think they'll get A tag team
- 41:55title shot for it. I think because I think Rich,
- 41:57you will demand creature with the man, the title shot and say,
- 42:01look, we've just beat six of our wrestlers, give us a title shot.
- 42:07I was going to say what FTM fan favourites or rule Breakers on
- 42:13this one. There were faces in this, yeah,
- 42:15They'll find favourites. I.
- 42:17Was going to say because I think the last time.
- 42:20They were healed. They were healed.
- 42:22Yeah, but then they faced Lizzie.
- 42:24Hearing Forum. Yeah, it's when they faced
- 42:26Lizzie in real, wasn't it? No, it's a different one.
- 42:32Dean and Bailey. It was.
- 42:35Yeah, it was. Jean and Bailey is.
- 42:39It yeah, it's. I never.
- 42:42It's the thing with FTM. What, when I see him on
- 42:44Liverpool shows other than TNT, Yeah.
- 42:49I never know fully if they're kind of like for or against,
- 42:59because I'll go to a Liverpool show and they'll be Boot Bantle,
- 43:03Boo, and then the next show they'll be cheering him.
- 43:06I'm thinking pick a side deciding what you're doing.
- 43:11Unless they're just like in. Betweeners or just like, yeah,
- 43:13well, depends how we feel on the day so.
- 43:18After FTMS when we had London Riley who was originally folks
- 43:23supposed to be facing Declan McCarthy but Big Deck was ruled
- 43:27out due to concussion. So this opened the door for
- 43:31Chase Alcala and we got London Riley versus Chase Alcala again,
- 43:38no complaints and of a solid showcase for new talent.
- 43:45London Riley's debut in Atomic put on a great match, hopefully
- 43:50opens the door to him to come back into Atomic because he put
- 43:56up quite a good performance against one of Atomic's very
- 44:01own, Chase Alcala. Quite a lot of high offensive
- 44:07moves from London, a lot of top rope moves which it's always
- 44:14impressive to see someone, somebody with that move set
- 44:17against more of like a grappler and technical wrestler in Chase
- 44:25Alcala, majority of the match it saw I'd say, I'd say 8022 in
- 44:38favour towards Chase. I felt Chase dominated quite a
- 44:43lot of the match doing usual heel stuff where he's just
- 44:49absolutely just working down the face and just get in the crowd
- 44:56to absolutely despise him. I got a good chance going
- 45:04towards chasing this match. I told him to shave his Tash.
- 45:11So a few of us were chanting shave the Tash and then IA
- 45:15couple of fans towards the left will like keep the Tash.
- 45:19Keep the Tash Chase got a little smile out of it.
- 45:25He he he enjoyed it. I.
- 45:27Can imagine that as well. Yeah, finishing the match off.
- 45:34So the corner spot, Sandy Beaches is in the corner chase
- 45:43and like London sort of in the corner.
- 45:48London nearly hits like Sandy Beach ref like looks away.
- 45:54Yeah. Refs attentions looked away and
- 45:57then chase absolutely boots landing in the balls and then he
- 46:02hits him with a finisher. I think his finisher was it.
- 46:06I think it was like a pile driver and then free count from
- 46:11there. Solid solid match.
- 46:17Not what I thought would get, but first time match up and
- 46:23delivered quite a solid match. And then we're moving on to the
- 46:29main event, the double tag title match.
- 46:34I'm interested to hear about this.
- 46:36Holy crap, what? Oh my God, this match was crazy
- 46:41good. So the story of this match was
- 46:45everybody hates Act 2. Everybody wants Act 2 to drop
- 46:48their belts, so a lot of the match it was every team focusing
- 46:54on Act 2 working on Act 2. There's a few spots in this
- 47:01match which I loved. So you know, Act two spot where
- 47:05they do make a wish. Yeah.
- 47:08Yeah, Danny Hope and Isla Dawn hit it on Ben Harland and we got
- 47:15it twice and Ben's just there clutching his balls.
- 47:22Did he? Did he get it?
- 47:23Done twice to him. Yeah, yeah.
- 47:30Don't rub him some counting. Yeah.
- 47:32So the first pinfall was for the Burning Heart title, which we
- 47:41saw the models pin up to. So after the pinfall, it
- 47:47happened on Jack Knudson, the bell rang again for the atomic
- 47:52title and then the models try to get a pinfall on Jack like dead
- 47:58quick and then everybody just rushes into the ring and like
- 48:01snatches the models off the pinfall and start like
- 48:05scrapping. There was a lot of like outside
- 48:09brawls as well in this match. I'm just looking at my footage.
- 48:17So Pod Quinlan hit some crazy corkscreen moonsault.
- 48:23It was phenomenal. So I Gibson and I Ladonna like
- 48:31fighting outside with Act 2. And then you've got the models
- 48:36as well on the outside. Pod Quinlan goes up to the top
- 48:42rope and then hits a massive corkscreen moonsault which was a
- 48:48finger beauty and I was like up really close to it as well.
- 48:54Did you catch him? No, wasn't that close.
- 49:00Not a good worker then. Yeah, the whole match was just
- 49:05fantastic. So Isla Dong come down to the
- 49:10ring billeders, Grizzled Jungle Veterans with Zach Gibson.
- 49:17So yeah, I was. Just thinking where Drake was.
- 49:22Yeah, Drake. Drake was still in America.
- 49:27So Isla come down to she was dressed up in a grizzled young
- 49:32veterans themed gear. So like a red gear, shiny red
- 49:37gear. Throughout the match, we had a
- 49:45little confrontation between. So the lights went out.
- 49:53Oh, like dimmed. Yeah, yeah, the lights fully
- 49:57went out. So we saw this guy rush into the
- 49:59ring, jumped over the bar like guardrail, run into the ring and
- 50:05went face to face with Zach Gibson, Scott Oberman, Lady
- 50:10Mark. Oh yes, I think I've heard about
- 50:16this. Yeah, man, if this match ever
- 50:21goes ahead, I need to get my tickets for it because it's got
- 50:28open versus that Gibson. Well, I think he has stated he'd
- 50:32like to face him so. It's going to be good.
- 50:40Quintessential ended up winning the match with a Death Valley
- 50:47driver to a elbow drop on a Benjamin Holland to pick up the
- 50:53free count. I've got to say.
- 50:58So they ended up losing both titles then?
- 51:01Yeah, they got pinned for both of them.
- 51:04Yeah, Knudsen took the burning heart pin and then Holland took
- 51:09the atomic pin and then after the match up we had a little
- 51:17celebration with the models and quintessential.
- 51:20And then as they were celebrating, Gibson cuts a promo
- 51:23on Auberman saying I don't know when I'll be back, but when I'm
- 51:28back in Liverpool I want a fight with you.
- 51:32So I think if they hold the measure.
- 51:34Ticket. Yeah, next time Gibson's in
- 51:37Atomic. Yeah.
- 51:39Well, looks like we're getting Auberman versus Gibson, which
- 51:44is? It's April I believe.
- 51:48Yeah, they got the birthday show, but I don't know if Gibson
- 51:50will turn up for that. Because it's a thing of I am
- 51:56unsure yet I only found out that because it's the same day as
- 52:01GPW. Yeah, they got the birthday
- 52:05show. Yeah, 26th of April.
- 52:11And then after Gibson's promo, we got to see them all do the
- 52:18model strip and we even got to see Zach Gibson do it, Donny
- 52:22Hope said to her. Zach Gibson, come on, give up.
- 52:24We've all got a bit of like, we've all got a reputation.
- 52:28It doesn't matter. So like Zach Gibson, it's a
- 52:35strip with a eyelid on a model and quintessential.
- 52:42Of all, the one person I cannot see doing a strut is Gibson.
- 52:49And he did. It very well can you do.
- 52:51It. And he didn't turn around.
- 52:55He even did the pose. He did the turn around and pose.
- 53:01To be fair, I can and I can't see him doing it.
- 53:06I can see it because he is a bit goofy himself, but when you see
- 53:12him on pretty much any wrestling show, you think, no, he
- 53:16wouldn't, he wouldn't do that. Yeah, overall, both Liverpool
- 53:24shows absolutely delivered, so no complaints.
- 53:36Well, I, I think one thing I definitely will be doing, I
- 53:40think I will definitely be cutting this into two separate
- 53:43shows. I think I've decided this will,
- 53:50this will be Part 2. So that was an additional
- 53:58episode. Thanks to Mr Miles Smith, the
- 54:02Warrington Meltzer for the little, he says little review of
- 54:08both Infinite and Atomic. Thank you very much to him.
- 54:15Our next episode will be looking back at briefly what happened at
- 54:22North in Leeds and also what happened at Bridge Pro Wrestling
- 54:29Brand New Level 3 which took place last week, while people
- 54:36message me because no one does it when I'm not recording.
- 54:41However, I hope you enjoyed that little extra show.
- 54:47We will be back soon Socials. I'll literally just put them
- 54:55down below. But yeah, thank you for watching
- 55:00or listening, and we will see you on the next episode.
