'The Best Boot since Das' - Futureshock: REBOOT - Epi 12 · Bradders Grappers

• 0:06
  Welcome to another exciting episode of Braggers Rappers.
• 0:14
  As of this moment in time, I do not know which episode this is
• 0:20
  going to be. It's even going to be episode 11
• 0:25
  or episode 12 because I still have to record another show and
• 0:30
  I haven't decided which one will go where.
• 0:34
  That said, I am once again not on my own, which proves I have
• 0:41
  mates loosely as I have my beautiful stunning assistant
• 0:49
  from Future Shock and other wrestling shows that you'll
• 0:54
  probably see either on front row or in the the seats because he
• 1:00
  doesn't like to stand with us mortals.
• 1:04
  We bid a good evening to good old Jack.
• 1:10
  Bonjour and we're we're professional associates at best.
• 1:15
  Yes, that's that's one way to call it associates.
• 1:18
  We'll go with that. So this is obviously looking
• 1:25
  back at Future Shock reboot. I think I crapped on that name
• 1:33
  the last time we we recorded this show.
• 1:36
  I mean, didn't everyone? It seemed like a terrible idea
• 1:39
  to call it a reboot immediately after a Declan's attack, but
• 1:43
  they they smashed it out the park.
• 1:46
  Quite frankly, it's. Beforehand, I think we all went
• 1:50
  into it thinking this is such a stupid name.
• 1:54
  It's, I mean, we'll, we'll touch on poor show names later on,
• 2:01
  which I will do. However, once you actually got
• 2:08
  to the venue and they did the massive unveiling of having
• 2:15
  everything covered in kind of black clothing with anything
• 2:22
  that was Future Shock related, you know, it reminded me of it.
• 2:28
  It reminded me of if the future Shock did like the traitors
• 2:33
  because everything was just in like cloaks and everything, I
• 2:38
  guess. So yeah, if the.
• 2:40
  Cloaks were the only thing the traitors did then.
• 2:42
  Yeah, and on the money. That's that's that's a show
• 2:46
  we'll probably get in a in a few months time.
• 2:48
  The trait bucket, cowards bucket.
• 2:57
  But yeah, so they removed all the kind of items that were
• 3:02
  covering up the turnbuckle pads, the big screen we have at the
• 3:08
  back of the room. So Feature shop now has a brand
• 3:13
  new logo. You can't see it, listeners, but
• 3:17
  I can. Jack is modelling the brand new
• 3:21
  shirt that he won in the raffle. I am waiting and I'm bitterly
• 3:29
  disappointed. I have to say that no one has
• 3:35
  took a picture of the logo and said is this is this promotion
• 3:42
  called Future Hawk? Because the S when you first
• 3:47
  look at it does not. Really look like an.
• 3:51
  S on first few it takes a couple of seconds before it becomes
• 3:57
  clear, but that's. If that's the only minor thing I
• 4:01
  have with it, then that's a good thing.
• 4:06
  They're saying that I own a Droylsden football top and it
• 4:10
  has the same pretty much design as the new Feature Shock logo
• 4:17
  which. I will very.
• 4:18
  Quickly show even though people cannot see this but.
• 4:30
  Somewhere. Oh yeah, they have actually
• 4:34
  modelled after that it would appear not.
• 4:38
  Not that we're saying they've they've copied designs, but.
• 4:41
  I am I'm accusing future now as at this moment copying the
• 4:46
  design. Was it?
• 4:51
  The assist clause will be coming soon.
• 4:56
  That all said though, this was actually a really good double
• 5:01
  show. I have to say this was the.
• 5:04
  First double header where I thought I actually got my money
• 5:07
  money's worth within both halves.
• 5:09
  Usually it feels like the load one show too much.
• 5:12
  Yes. Yeah, I'll, I'll go with that.
• 5:17
  I'm still morally opposed to double headed shows in the fact
• 5:21
  that they cover a similar amount of time and you get you have to
• 5:26
  pay double the price for one show.
• 5:27
  If you're going out for a show it feels like 1 show even if
• 5:30
  there's a large break in the middle.
• 5:31
  I'm still forever opposed to them.
• 5:33
  I will say this though, for show 1 you had your money's worth and
• 5:38
  you can't afford. Show 2 was going to struggle,
• 5:42
  but cramming everyone as they did on show too with all the new
• 5:49
  debutantes. I I really didn't enjoy kind of
• 5:56
  like what they did it. It made a lot of it made a lot
• 6:01
  of sense, I have to say. But before we get into the show,
• 6:11
  can we just send our best wishes to Anderson Daniels of the Meat
• 6:19
  Waggon, who sustained what seems a very nasty leg injury on
• 6:29
  Friday night. So speedy recovery Anderson,
• 6:36
  look after yourself and we will hopefully see see you sooner
• 6:43
  than later. But yeah, not it's, it's never
• 6:48
  great when someone gets injured. So speedy recovery, mate.
• 6:53
  And we're we're all sending healing thoughts your way.
• 6:59
  Yeah, obviously prioritise your well-being over coming back,
• 7:06
  brushing back kind of thing. Here, here, right.
• 7:13
  Let's get into this show, which was a I'll say this for for
• 7:21
  double header shows, the the first show is normally the
• 7:27
  lowest attended and it's normally the ones that has more
• 7:33
  of the kind of more of the families I feel.
• 7:39
  But again, there was a lot happening on Saturday.
• 7:44
  You had police at the university about three blocks away because
• 7:52
  there was protests. As I did not know this I'm I'm
• 7:57
  blissfully unaware of my surroundings it would seem.
• 7:59
  Yeah, so walking up Grosvenor St onto Oxford Road, there was
• 8:05
  about four police vans and I I imagine it was Palestine kind of
• 8:19
  protests because everything round there just seems to be
• 8:23
  kind of like pro Palestine and political things.
• 8:29
  We'll we'll say I. Didn't know we're getting
• 8:31
  political on the Peter Brown I was.
• 8:33
  Trying. I was trying not to get
• 8:34
  political, but that's effectively I think, what it was
• 8:37
  because I saw a few of the flags.
• 8:40
  We also had the Manchester Derby for the women's side of things.
• 8:47
  I had a friend that went. He had no interest in the game.
• 8:52
  Why he went I have no idea, but he was happy with the result.
• 8:57
  Ended up three nil to say, didn't it?
• 8:59
  Not a great result for for United.
• 9:03
  I mean being not so much a blue these days because I truth be
• 9:11
  taught I cook shit anymore. I could have about 10 years ago
• 9:16
  and now I can give little to no toss at all.
• 9:24
  And then we had on the, oh, I was freezing my ass off as well
• 9:29
  outside that venue because it was quite cold on Saturday.
• 9:34
  I rocked up 10 minutes before bell time and never, never bite
• 9:38
  an eyelid. You're like insulated, lovely
• 9:43
  and. Me and my mate John were
• 9:45
  freezing on the outside because I think literally they opened up
• 9:51
  like 15 minutes before the bell. Well, that's how well that's how
• 9:56
  it felt at least. And then we saw about 20, like
• 10:00
  little kids all coming, and we all thought, Oh no.
• 10:06
  They were about the show, were they?
• 10:10
  They posed about 6 or 7 disturbances.
• 10:14
  To to be fair to them beforehand, normally when you
• 10:19
  see kind of like a collection of kids, you just go on.
• 10:23
  I'm going to get a headache from screaming and everything.
• 10:26
  Their play to them. They were amazing during this
• 10:29
  first half. I will say that forum more on
• 10:35
  that in a bit. My friend Lindsay had an
• 10:40
  absolute shocker because we recently had bad weather here in
• 10:46
  the UK which affected trains and saw her going from arriving 45
• 10:55
  minutes before the bell. Literally arrived 5 minutes
• 11:00
  before start time because there was all train hold ups and a lot
• 11:07
  of things were going on which wasn't the best but I I got to
• 11:13
  laugh out of it because I'm a sick bastard.
• 11:16
  As long as you've got a laugh, who cares about everyone else
• 11:20
  being a selfish? Yes, selfish.
• 11:23
  I can't say what I'd like to say for legal reasons.
• 11:29
  Yeah, it's not. That sounds like I was going to
• 11:31
  say much worse than prick. You know, I'll take prick, to be
• 11:36
  fair, lovable prick, but I die. I digress.
• 11:44
  So we went into show one with the opening match.
• 11:51
  No, he did inform us that the meat waggon were not going to be
• 11:55
  taking part obviously due to injury to Anderson Daniels.
• 12:01
  So they said we had a brand new opener which was the O5IN Dec
• 12:09
  Henry and Harvey Dukes against Jensen Vesper or Jason Scooter
• 12:16
  in many parts and Peter Sidor. The greatest wrestler to walk
• 12:21
  planet Earth. The best there is, the best
• 12:23
  there one, and the best there ever will be.
• 12:25
  What a man. Sidor spent more time chatting
• 12:29
  with us on the apron that I think he did actually wrestling
• 12:36
  or just cracking jokes and flirting.
• 12:40
  That is why he's the best there is, the best there ever will be.
• 12:46
  Work smart, not hard, I think is what we can say for Sador, who I
• 12:52
  have to say is one of my favourite wrestlers at Future
• 12:55
  Shock. He shouldn't be, but he is.
• 12:59
  I mean, I think if you don't like Sidor, quite frankly, there
• 13:02
  might be something wrong with you.
• 13:04
  I think I usually, again, I mean, I hate to say it guys, and
• 13:07
  he is the best there is, the best there wasn't the best there
• 13:10
  ever will be, you know? It's it's one of those where
• 13:14
  you're thinking I am meant to slight severely dislike you, but
• 13:19
  I can't. I don't think you are.
• 13:22
  That's the foot of it. That's the foot of it.
• 13:24
  It's like Vespa takes the hate and Sidor's kind of the not the
• 13:31
  the comedy element, though he does have the the immediate
• 13:34
  gift. But I mean the the IT is
• 13:42
  weirdly. If you have like strange
• 13:45
  crushes, this tag team is the equivalent of a strange crush.
• 13:52
  I feel you're looking at me in a mad way, Jack, and I don't like.
• 13:58
  It first I thought you were going to say you have a strange
• 14:02
  crush on Peter's, on Peter's side.
• 14:04
  Oh, and I was a bit a bit taken aback for a second.
• 14:07
  You know, he is a very handsome young man, but I wasn't so sure
• 14:11
  you were swung that way. I I couldn't care last, but
• 14:19
  yeah. How would you assess this match?
• 14:23
  From from your. From your memory.
• 14:26
  I have a very clear memory of 05 becoming my least favourite tag
• 14:31
  team in the world when they hit the 0567, and repeatedly.
• 14:38
  And, and if you listen very closely, you can, you can hear
• 14:42
  the sounds of Jack scooting, me scooting 5678 as we all know.
• 14:55
  Yeah, but you see the issue is they they removed the five and
• 14:58
  the 8 the the the 05 did and just started hitting random 6-7
• 15:03
  related moves. I think there was a 6-7 super
• 15:06
  kick from Jens and Vesper though, that was a a great bit
• 15:10
  of offence. And and being someone of a
• 15:13
  certain age, I don't get the difference.
• 15:16
  Neither does Peter say, or neither do I, and I'm one of the
• 15:21
  youngest people I'm going to say.
• 15:22
  You're you're literally the how can we you're keeping the age
• 15:28
  average like there for us all. You're you're our go to for like
• 15:37
  culture of modern times. And if you don't know we're
• 15:41
  we're we're, don't vote. Well, you see the humour behind
• 15:44
  6-7 is it has no humour. It's just a it's just two
• 15:47
  numbers that people randomly decided to throw together.
• 15:50
  And five year olds love it. So do six and seven-year olds,
• 15:53
  quite frankly. Well, they need to get out more,
• 15:57
  obviously. Yeah.
• 16:01
  The match itself though, Jack, how would how would you any
• 16:08
  takes on this much? I mean, I think you said
• 16:12
  obviously. Now we know that you hate the
• 16:13
  05. Well I only hate the 05:00
• 16:17
  because it started the chain reaction of events where the
• 16:21
  2025 kids on the outside started chatting 6-7 all night.
• 16:26
  But I thought, you know, it was your basic basic opener fun for
• 16:31
  everyone Sidor. Like you said, Sidor had fun
• 16:35
  with the crowd. James Investment got beat up and
• 16:38
  then said on top of the pin. It's your basic formula for
• 16:41
  whatever their tag team name is the.
• 16:44
  The I don't think they have A tag team name at the moment.
• 16:49
  They drop him, then there's no reason to say.
• 16:52
  I was going. Down out there.
• 16:54
  I had Canadian scooter as a suggestion, but you know.
• 17:00
  Not so sure we'll set that one up.
• 17:02
  No. Well, I know one person
• 17:04
  definitely won't take that up, but it was a assisted Cutter on
• 17:10
  Sidor which gave the 05 a win which defensively was a warm up
• 17:17
  match if you prefer to use that term ahead of second match later
• 17:24
  on. More on that later.
• 17:29
  We then had match #2 Danny Hope taking on Jack McCarthy.
• 17:40
  I think we both had a big problem with this one.
• 17:45
  OK, so we will talk about the match 1st and then we'll do our
• 17:51
  fantasy bookings. Jack, as a guest, how would you
• 18:00
  describe or what were your takeaways from this match?
• 18:04
  Well, my main takeaway was I'm a bit disappointed Declan McCarthy
• 18:08
  for making such a big song and dance about how Danny Hope
• 18:11
  wasn't a warm up match and then walking out of a match that he
• 18:14
  said was against a worthy competitor for a reason that
• 18:18
  seemed to be that he wasn't worthy.
• 18:23
  It didn't. I like the logic and there was a
• 18:27
  there was a big break in logic, but the match itself was about
• 18:33
  how long did it go for? 3-4 minutes?
• 18:36
  Five. Oh, I'd I'd say it went about
• 18:39
  6-7 minutes. Yeah, yeah, It meant about 6 or
• 18:43
  7 minutes too long then, in that opinion.
• 18:47
  I'll be honest, I didn't mind this much at all.
• 18:51
  You you knew Dec wasn't going to go mad because he had his second
• 18:56
  match which and he didn't want to kind of wear himself out.
• 19:04
  It was 2 good wrestlers putting on putting on a solid show.
• 19:12
  Nothing, nothing bad. If anything, I actually enjoyed
• 19:17
  this match. Yeah, I did too.
• 19:20
  But it should have been a 32nd battering of an old man who's
• 19:26
  retired already once ahead of a massive match against his tag
• 19:31
  partner. It didn't need to be a loss on
• 19:34
  his record. It's there were a couple of ways
• 19:39
  you can go with it because Deck I would say currently is the
• 19:43
  biggest heel in Future Shock because of everything that's
• 19:49
  going on storyline wise. Yeah.
• 19:52
  So to have this match, I would I would have had deck effectively
• 20:00
  just beat up Danny Hope to which we kind of now we move into our
• 20:06
  fantasy booking. If you wish to bypass the
• 20:09
  fantasy booking, then please run it on to 24 minutes and 52
• 20:14
  seconds. Also, can we just quickly take
• 20:18
  the time to thank you for your ongoing support of this podcast?
• 20:22
  OK, I don't think PETA or Jack are here listening to this.
• 20:27
  What a couple of wallies They are moaning about this, moaning
• 20:32
  about that. Listen, I don't get paid for
• 20:36
  this and you don't hear me complaining.
• 20:39
  Anyway, back to our regular programming.
• 20:44
  So Deck really should have just I mean, you could still have had
• 20:49
  the match that we got, but also after the match, you could
• 20:57
  easily have just had the the MCMCPC beating him up or beating
• 21:07
  Hope up after and have McCarthy being involved as well.
• 21:13
  Because Hope, as we all know, is the tag team partner with Joey
• 21:19
  Hayes, to which Joey Hayes defends the future Shock title
• 21:26
  in December against Deb McCarthy.
• 21:31
  It felt a great opportunity to carry on this feud that they
• 21:39
  have tried to build from the Fairfield where we got the match
• 21:44
  made. And considering Joey beat up all
• 21:49
  of the kind of the McCarthy Performance Centre crew and Deck
• 21:55
  himself to a degree, this would have made more sense and been
• 22:01
  very kind of heal healish to have had Deck take out Danny.
• 22:09
  Leave Danny a complete shambles and add more bad blood to it and
• 22:17
  just make that title match even have more stakes to it.
• 22:23
  Yeah. But we didn't get that.
• 22:27
  We had Deck effectively walking out on the contest.
• 22:33
  Hope wins by count out. That was the only thing in this
• 22:39
  match I did not like. Yeah, I mean, but that was the
• 22:46
  match though. That was the the main takeaway
• 22:49
  of the match. Yeah, it's it was a good match
• 22:53
  and just the end. No, I just no.
• 23:00
  I I will say there's a lot on this entire two shows that I do
• 23:06
  like, but there's just little parts for out where just no, and
• 23:15
  this was kind of no, no. I mean, I'd like, I'd like to
• 23:22
  see him try and explain his logic.
• 23:24
  I'm sure he'll, I'm sure he'll explain his logic at some point
• 23:28
  before the December 7th show. To be fair, wink nudge nudge,
• 23:34
  totally not tread. The plugs have been secretly
• 23:36
  there. I mean, I don't mind that.
• 23:42
  It makes sense for McAfee not to have carried on because he had
• 23:45
  that big massive last man standing encounter later on.
• 23:50
  So that bit makes sense. But you could have had like the
• 23:56
  MCPM, just MCPM, no MCPC. I'll get it right.
• 24:04
  One day. I've I've I've already had grief
• 24:07
  off a couple of getting it wrong.
• 24:09
  So I'm my I'm getting my head through them eventually.
• 24:15
  Hopefully we can all hope and pray for that day to come.
• 24:19
  You, yeah, MCPC, there you go. I've made a reference if we all
• 24:29
  move on from this point. But yeah, I would have just had
• 24:33
  like the MCPC just basically just beat up Hope.
• 24:38
  Yeah, I mean it's. Not deck.
• 24:41
  Deck can just watch on and smile and enjoy his opponent's best
• 24:47
  mate getting taken out. Yeah, and then you killed my
• 24:54
  hope. And it could have been a whole
• 24:56
  thing that could have watched hope die.
• 24:58
  It would it would have been a great, great bit of great
• 25:01
  tagline for the title match. And also the fact that Declan to
• 25:04
  the great Samuel J Doherty said I will work two matches in one
• 25:08
  night just to spite you and then walked out of a match that was
• 25:13
  diabolical shit housery from the man they call the greatest
• 25:18
  leader of the MCPC of all time. Bless Sam.
• 25:25
  Bless Sam. So yeah, we move on to match #3
• 25:34
  which was the main event of Part 1.
• 25:38
  Well, the first half, I should say.
• 25:42
  Brian Strong versus Bentley in a chairs match Cinema is the best
• 25:53
  way I can describe. It cinema they got, they got
• 25:57
  more chairs and then there were chairs where they hit the people
• 26:00
  with the chairs and brake brought a chair out.
• 26:03
  It was there was chairs galore. It was beautiful.
• 26:06
  We, we were making reference to the fact that you had, I think
• 26:11
  it was 3/3 or 4 black chairs and three and three to four yellow
• 26:16
  chairs. And we kept saying if you got
• 26:19
  the combination right, it would have added more kind of like
• 26:23
  damage. So when they were stacking and
• 26:26
  what we, we said you had to have it red, black, yellow, I'm
• 26:29
  sorry, black, yellow, black. But they didn't.
• 26:34
  And it was slightly annoying me how they'd have two colours the
• 26:38
  same together when they would setting him up.
• 26:41
  But that's us. That's for absolutely little for
• 26:46
  this much because this was an absolute banger.
• 26:50
  And arguably I will go as far as saying this much of the year in
• 26:56
  future shock. Now you you've made my next
• 27:00
  point. I'm the thing that I've been
• 27:01
  saying up right we're even now we're after shock, you bastard
• 27:05
  right I'll. Tell you that Cheeky.
• 27:07
  Bugger, right? But yeah, it was, it was, it was
• 27:10
  the match of the year. I'm not hearing any slander of
• 27:12
  this match. It was pure brutality and
• 27:14
  probably probably the best weapons match you've seen in
• 27:19
  quite a while. Yeah, the the only match I can
• 27:24
  think of where where this is actually not the the last decent
• 27:33
  weapons match I can think of that was on the men's side at
• 27:38
  least was strong against Tony Wright.
• 27:43
  And that's very close to my heart.
• 27:44
  And I will say right here, right now that it is.
• 27:47
  It was better than Strong V Wright.
• 27:51
  I I wasn't there for that, but I've seen the.
• 27:54
  The. Encounter a few times, but this
• 27:58
  had no right to be as good as it was.
• 28:02
  It really it didn't I, I'll be the first person to say I, I, I
• 28:07
  was so well, I, I won't say it fully, but I may have been wrong
• 28:11
  about Bentley. I've, I've been a critic of
• 28:14
  Bentley publicly, but this was either his coming out party or
• 28:18
  him proving me wrong. Well, after the how it follows
• 28:20
  it up well. I've seen Bentley a few times at
• 28:25
  Salford City Wrestling and he's always been one of the the
• 28:30
  standout performers there. And yes, Bentley, I do always
• 28:36
  think of you smashing your head off the ceiling on your first
• 28:39
  entrance on the first show. But.
• 28:41
  That was him. Wow.
• 28:42
  Yes, I. Think I saw that but.
• 28:47
  Ever since then he's put on some absolute beauty of matches,
• 28:52
  especially at the last Salford City show.
• 28:56
  I think he went almost like 1015 minutes with Jack Johnson in a
• 29:02
  scramble match when they were supposedly the last two in the
• 29:08
  match and it turned out not to be Bentley.
• 29:12
  I could. Bentley has grown on me because
• 29:16
  I hadn't seen much of him before Salford and now I've seen a lot
• 29:21
  of him there and now moving to like Future Shock.
• 29:28
  As you said, this was his future shop coming out party for me and
• 29:33
  strong was an absolute beast. I we're both here beaming like
• 29:43
  Cheshire cats at the moment, talking about this much.
• 29:47
  There's there's so much we could we could talk about, just like
• 29:53
  as you said, the brutality, especially for like a family
• 30:01
  friendly show and the fact you had 20 kids screaming, wanting
• 30:09
  violence, which made it even more better.
• 30:13
  It was so good because we some of the the flashpoints from this
• 30:24
  was was it Bentley got dropped on his shoulder on when he got
• 30:32
  picked up. That was a totally legitimate
• 30:35
  brain Buster. He didn't take it on his
• 30:36
  shoulder. I don't know what you mean.
• 30:38
  Yeah, it well, Even so, it was still devastating.
• 30:43
  I. Mean it did look like it really
• 30:45
  hurt. I have analysed the video and it
• 30:47
  looked like it was very, very much, you know, reeling from it.
• 30:52
  Yeah, I, well, I, I would have liked to have seen it, but
• 30:57
  having shown you the the footage I had.
• 31:03
  Yeah, well, I'll come to that in a minute.
• 31:07
  Jack knows what I'm going to come out with, as do a few
• 31:12
  others who have seen footage. Just wait for.
• 31:15
  Some of the other matches I'll be much worse, don't you worry,
• 31:18
  but. What was it?
• 31:20
  We had strong, I think. I think it was a spine Buster to
• 31:25
  Bentley through the chairs. Yep, it was him through the
• 31:29
  chairs with a Death Valley driver.
• 31:31
  Then brake strong, reset them up and hit him with a spine still
• 31:35
  later on. I honestly this was match, not
• 31:41
  just match of show one. It was the match of the day by
• 31:48
  far. By far it was the best match on
• 31:52
  the entire show. We even got a stage dive from
• 31:56
  from Bentley, which isn't it's been over.
• 31:59
  In my little highlight package I put together.
• 32:01
  It got overlooked because of how many highlight were the moments
• 32:05
  we have. And I'll be honest, I went into
• 32:08
  this match thinking it'll be like a typical kind of like
• 32:14
  weapons match where they'll probably use about two chairs
• 32:17
  and that's it. And I think about 6 minutes in
• 32:22
  and it already smashed the ceiling I had for this match and
• 32:27
  it just kept getting better and better and better.
• 32:34
  That finished with the chair in the corner looked devastating.
• 32:38
  I know you didn't quite catch it all, but from even from the
• 32:41
  angle where different. Reasons.
• 32:45
  Even from the angle where I was at where it'd look if if there
• 32:49
  was any shenanigans about it, I'd probably say I couldn't find
• 32:52
  a thing. It looked devastating.
• 32:56
  Chair head ring post got put on a sandwich of pain.
• 33:02
  So strong was on the outside or on the apron.
• 33:05
  On the outside a chair had been set up in the corner, which I
• 33:10
  think it was strong. That did it earlier in.
• 33:12
  The no no, that was Bentley special decal chair that he'd
• 33:15
  put in the corner after he'd got it out.
• 33:18
  I thought Strong put it there. It had a Bentley decal on our I.
• 33:23
  I think it's not the chair that. Might be right, but I feel like
• 33:26
  I remember him putting it in the corner himself.
• 33:28
  But you know, that's not the, that's not the point of
• 33:31
  contention, the. Details that no one's that
• 33:34
  foster what happened with. The chair who put it in the
• 33:39
  corner? Real.
• 33:39
  Quick but from the angle we had it looked devastating and the
• 33:47
  sound it made as well was bloody devastating as well, to which
• 33:54
  we've put drop kit to the head of strong into the chair.
• 34:01
  Bentley gets the victory five out of five.
• 34:06
  Yeah. I mean, it was a.
• 34:07
  It was. Just to.
• 34:09
  Get into the little gritty. It was a dropkick into the
• 34:11
  chair, into the head, into the ring post.
• 34:14
  Not a dropkick into the head into the chair.
• 34:15
  That makes it sound less brutal. It's killed him.
• 34:18
  Yeah. But can we just make the point
• 34:20
  that I didn't see for large passages in the first half?
• 34:26
  And it was still a fiver. Wow.
• 34:28
  Yeah. That's how good the the brake
• 34:32
  strong rub is. I'm putting it all on brake.
• 34:34
  No, I'm joking. Until we had to move seats
• 34:41
  because we could not see due to the cameraman who nearly well he
• 34:45
  did tread on my mate's foot despite the fact that we had
• 34:49
  about a 10 foot effectively 10 feet from the ring and he spent
• 34:56
  more time sitting on our laps than actually being round the
• 35:00
  ring. Jesus Christ.
• 35:05
  The first show you were in hell and I was just loving life.
• 35:09
  I'm just that with all the leg room, no cameramen around me.
• 35:12
  You seem like you've gone through the the barrels of hell.
• 35:16
  We I've made the point of you don't need that much room.
• 35:22
  There's a thing on it called Zoom and Unzoom and you don't
• 35:28
  have to come that close to us. That's what we couldn't because
• 35:31
  we missed a lot of the action as well.
• 35:35
  To which I I know it's been said before where people say, oh,
• 35:39
  don't complain about camera guys filming because it's their job
• 35:44
  to film the action. Yes, yes it is.
• 35:48
  I take that on point on board, but I don't expect them to stand
• 35:53
  literally a foot in in front of me blocking.
• 36:01
  No, that's, that's a very fairpoint, I mean.
• 36:03
  And and I've shown you the. Picture.
• 36:06
  Yeah, it was. I can, I can vouch.
• 36:09
  And even you who kind of gave the had the look of oh, you,
• 36:15
  you, you just kind of you're blowing they saw out of all
• 36:19
  proportion and then. Promotion sometimes need to just
• 36:24
  learn that 4 cameramen there's there's a certain hierarchy and
• 36:30
  the the pain fans should go above streaming online.
• 36:34
  If you if your cameraman have to block your the pain fans view,
• 36:40
  then you probably don't need to have a cameraman there.
• 36:43
  Serious. But the thing was, the cameraman
• 36:46
  on the other side had it perfect.
• 36:49
  He, he kept moving from like one end to the other to get
• 36:52
  different shots and then he'd even duck and kind of zoom up.
• 37:00
  He had that perfectly. And on our side.
• 37:05
  I, I mean, if it's, if it's their first attempt, then fair
• 37:10
  enough, but you don't need to come into the crowd.
• 37:17
  It was effectively a stage dive for what it felt like for us.
• 37:25
  And that's my biggest, actually, it's not my biggest run of the
• 37:27
  show. Oh gosh.
• 37:29
  Jesus, God. I mean, it reflects poorly on
• 37:32
  the promotion when there's too many cameraman because one of
• 37:36
  the greatest matches of the year has devolved into a rant about
• 37:39
  cameraman. It's, you know, I, I went into
• 37:44
  this thinking this was a really good show.
• 37:46
  And I feel like I'm just laying now on a kind of like a couch
• 37:51
  just going this happened and that bad thing happened.
• 37:54
  It was a it was a really good show.
• 37:56
  There's just little niggly things and that's that's it.
• 38:00
  I'm not bad mouthing the promotion at all.
• 38:05
  Just, you know, just iron out the kinks.
• 38:08
  That's all I ask. Oh, I've just Yeah.
• 38:15
  So. Terrible timing to say that.
• 38:19
  Yeah, let's say you review the next match, Peter.
• 38:22
  Hey up. I need to give context to what
• 38:27
  I'm about to say. So we start the second-half with
• 38:34
  Romy Kendrick against Solomon. Now I have nothing fully bad to
• 38:47
  say about the match. Stop it Jack.
• 38:53
  However a few people have said this, I think Solomon needs to
• 39:01
  get a proper mask. There was far too many times
• 39:07
  where he was obstructed with his view and times it looked like he
• 39:17
  was falling over himself and did not know where the ropes were or
• 39:23
  where he was meant to be. And Romy for me carried this
• 39:28
  match massively, got a pin in this in terms of Solomon because
• 39:39
  in the two matches he had on this show, this was bad Solomon.
• 39:49
  Now I've seen him have good matches, but there wasn't much I
• 39:55
  could say positive on this one, which is a shame.
• 40:01
  But I if I'm having to be honest on these shows and where I will
• 40:09
  give praise and unlimited credit.
• 40:15
  This was horrible. That's all I have to say on
• 40:19
  that. Yeah, I mean, I don't feel you
• 40:26
  sentiments was correct. I don't have much to add to it
• 40:30
  because I genuinely have no recollection of this match.
• 40:33
  I throw it threw it straight out my mind.
• 40:35
  It wasn't anyone's best performance, wasn't one person's
• 40:44
  worst performance of the night, though, and we'll get to that in
• 40:53
  a bit. Oh.
• 40:56
  God. I'm going to be I.
• 41:00
  Know, I know, I know, I know. Roll me one with a 5 star frog
• 41:06
  splash. We'll we'll funny name for a for
• 41:12
  a movie. Considering the star rating, I'd
• 41:15
  give that match. Yeah, we'll, we'll move on from
• 41:18
  from that match. Unfortunately, However, on an
• 41:24
  upbeat note, we had Connor Riley come out and have an open
• 41:31
  challenge to which, I'll be honest, I hate open challenges
• 41:39
  because I've seen it feels like we see open challenges almost
• 41:43
  every show with Future Shock currently.
• 41:45
  I feel like we can give this one a bit of a pass slightly.
• 41:49
  Massively a pass a goal, however they.
• 41:51
  Could have just got, they could have just ran it one-on-one or
• 41:55
  there was, there was a lot of creative booking ideas they
• 41:58
  could have done that. They didn't.
• 41:59
  Yeah, again, I'm a straight shooter band.
• 42:05
  Yeah, we're we're getting banned from shows.
• 42:09
  I've thrown away 50 reviews with salad already banged straight in
• 42:13
  the bin. It's it's like I've done 11
• 42:16
  shows and I've pleased everyone and this show I just feel like,
• 42:20
  yeah, I'm getting. Banned.
• 42:23
  Well you know if if it banners from a promotion for criticising
• 42:28
  a match featuring 2 not so great performances.
• 42:36
  I'll be on this show overall show one.
• 42:41
  I would give it a good 3 1/2, maybe 4 out of five.
• 42:51
  I was going to say I'd give it a three, 3.5 out of five.
• 42:55
  I'd give it. But we've we've still got to
• 42:58
  come to a couple of things. Yeah.
• 43:03
  So the penultimate match saw Connor Patrick Riley, if you use
• 43:09
  these Patrick still going up against a debutant in future
• 43:15
  shock fresh meat if you like from the performance centre in
• 43:22
  Joe Easy Josh, come on, you can't get the.
• 43:26
  Name wrong Josh Easy, One of the greatest names in professional
• 43:30
  wrestling, quite frankly. To be fair, all the notes I've
• 43:37
  got say Josh, Josh, Josh and autocorrect has done it again,
• 43:45
  Say I actually put Josh and this keeps coming up Joe.
• 43:49
  So that's their fault. Screw you, Google Maker blames
• 43:54
  the tools or whatever it is the saying is.
• 43:56
  I'm too young to know the saying.
• 43:59
  To be fair, the way this show was so one is kind of keeping
• 44:04
  the script kind of Patrick Riley versus Josh Easy.
• 44:12
  I think when he came out everyone thought, oh, this isn't
• 44:16
  going to last long. And I will say this a future
• 44:20
  shock. They have done great at having
• 44:26
  people kind of his debutantes coming in where they're where
• 44:33
  you do not have too much to go off.
• 44:36
  Every single one has hit and this entire well, the show too,
• 44:42
  especially all of them hit and especially this one because this
• 44:48
  this was if we take Strong and Bentley out of the equation,
• 44:53
  this would have been much of the day or much of show one at
• 44:58
  least. Yeah.
• 45:02
  I I kind of agree with you on that, except for the fact that
• 45:06
  we, we, they're in the equation. Yes.
• 45:12
  Out of the out of the equation on a 16 match card, then they'd
• 45:15
  be there'd be a guaranteed match of the night.
• 45:18
  But we're not here to do maths. It was the I'm, I'm, I'm not
• 45:23
  Carol Boardman and I'm not Rachel Riley.
• 45:26
  I don't have the legs for the for the thing.
• 45:33
  I mean, anyone named anyone named Josh Eazy is an instant
• 45:38
  win with a British crown. Oh, I wasn't even around for it,
• 45:43
  but even I know the world of sports.
• 45:44
  Easy easy claps and Channel I. Was going to say your side for
• 45:49
  show 1 was easily kind of the vocal section of show 1.
• 45:56
  I'd say for show 2 as well, but no, it was all the huge trainees
• 46:03
  sat together. They were all having a great
• 46:04
  time. Yeah, to be fair, Show 2 was
• 46:07
  more our side, but I'll we'll go.
• 46:11
  We'll call it one all but show 1 was yours.
• 46:15
  Show 2 is mine. No.
• 46:17
  We'll leave, but yeah, this this match with Riley and easy,
• 46:23
  brilliant Riley did great. I thought to kind of like,
• 46:30
  pardon the pun, ease easy through the match.
• 46:34
  You're really trying fun man. I'll be honest, I wasn't trying
• 46:39
  to do a pun and I am someone that loves to put puns in and
• 46:43
  that unfortunately was not a pun.
• 46:48
  I really love this match. I really, and I think by the end
• 46:53
  of it, everyone wanted to see more of Josh and we did get more
• 46:59
  of Josh later on. Thank God, because this was so
• 47:03
  much. It's I'm trying to think how to
• 47:09
  put this. Riley was really good at trying
• 47:13
  to make out like Josh wasn't anything, but at the same time
• 47:19
  he made him look even better than perhaps he thought he was
• 47:27
  going to be. Yeah.
• 47:30
  There was this is just great all around For me, this this is
• 47:34
  easily the second best match on show 1 without without question,
• 47:42
  I mean. No lies told there.
• 47:44
  No, I agree. Hold on.
• 47:47
  But unfortunately, Connor Riley wins by cheating because he only
• 47:53
  knows one way. It was a great finish though,
• 47:57
  the the the role, the reversal of the roll up but also chucking
• 48:02
  your hand on the rope. Bit cheeky.
• 48:04
  I think he had him anyway. I don't think he needed the hand
• 48:06
  on the rope. Creep.
• 48:11
  But that was how am I a creep exclaimed.
• 48:15
  Riley, I see you there. Yeah, Riley grabs the rope
• 48:27
  during the pin. I mean, he probably did need to
• 48:30
  do it, but he did because that's that's the type of person that
• 48:36
  Riley is. Evil, evil man.
• 48:39
  Evil. And this all led to the main
• 48:45
  event for the Adrenaline title, Scott Oberman versus Tony
• 48:52
  Wright, with the stipulation of if Olbermann loses, he cannot
• 48:59
  challenge for the Adrenaline title while Tony Wright is the
• 49:04
  holder. I'm going to grab some popcorn
• 49:09
  and I'm going to introduce Jack, who's now going to tell us what
• 49:14
  he thought. I believe Jose Mourinho said it
• 49:17
  best when he said if I speak I am in trouble.
• 49:21
  And before I say anything, I would like to distance myself
• 49:27
  from the comments about to be made by Mister Jack Benno.
• 49:32
  I actually thought this was quite a good match, to be
• 49:34
  honest. There was a minor, minor slip
• 49:36
  up, but it happens, you know? Yeah, it's as as much as we've
• 49:40
  kind of joked about it. If anything, I'll say this for
• 49:47
  it. Oh, we'll, we'll, I'll chat
• 49:50
  about the match 1st and then obviously we'll talk about what
• 49:54
  happened in the end. Overman and Wright just always
• 50:00
  put on great matches. I think they're just conditioned
• 50:04
  to have like really good storytelling matches.
• 50:09
  I mean, you set aside the fact that every, right?
• 50:12
  The open match is a banger by those standards, by the
• 50:17
  standards they had. I was quite disappointed with
• 50:19
  the end of the feud, that being the end of the right the Oberman
• 50:23
  feud for a little while. I know you say, I know you gave
• 50:26
  me my platform before, but I decided to try and subvert
• 50:30
  everyone by being kind about the match.
• 50:32
  But I can't, I can't be kind. I thought it was a good match,
• 50:36
  but it was it was. It wasn't a right the Oberman
• 50:39
  good match It was. AI will say this for if you line
• 50:45
  up all the Oberman right matches that we've seen, it is probably
• 50:52
  very low down the order, but it was still a serviceable match.
• 50:58
  Yeah, again, you've got expectations leading into these
• 51:02
  things in the big blow off finale.
• 51:05
  Yeah, it wasn't. It wasn't to the normal
• 51:10
  standards, which I think Scott, I think both Scott and Tony will
• 51:16
  probably agree that it wasn't how they would have wanted
• 51:21
  things to end the feud. Liam, who is reffing, takes a
• 51:31
  bump in the corner. So Liam is down.
• 51:38
  Olbermann grabs the title. Brings the title into the belt.
• 51:45
  Sorry. Brings the title into the ring.
• 51:48
  Hits Tony Rivet though, I think. Does he hit the spirit of the
• 51:55
  Blues on the belt? Yeah, yeah, I've got I, I
• 51:59
  haven't wrote notes. Hits the Spirit of the Blues on
• 52:04
  the belt then shouts Liam over to Mitt pinfall.
• 52:12
  Liam is still groggy at this point.
• 52:15
  We get a 2 count. We then have Tony hitting a
• 52:21
  super kick and lands on Olbermann and we get a 12 and a
• 52:35
  three seem to catch people out and there seemed to be a bit of
• 52:45
  confusion in the ring it looked like.
• 52:49
  And then Tony very quickly grabbed the microphone and said
• 52:55
  I don't want to win it that way, I want to win it properly.
• 53:01
  And then he asked for five more minutes, which we got and said I
• 53:05
  want to beat you properly Scott, we'll restart this match, which
• 53:10
  they did and Tony hit 4 super kicks to win the match.
• 53:22
  Now I will say this, despite it being a bit of a mess the
• 53:36
  original ending, I will say this for it.
• 53:42
  Both Scott and Tony did extremely well to try and get
• 53:50
  something from the wreckage. So again, this no one is
• 53:59
  perfect, but they made the best out of a a bad situation.
• 54:10
  But then again, future shock since have also done really well
• 54:14
  to try and work something along the lines of this to which Scott
• 54:19
  is claiming that he's been screwed.
• 54:24
  And I think there's something they can add to this down the
• 54:29
  road. So I will say this about it
• 54:33
  though, was it a, was it a bad way to end the feud?
• 54:39
  Yes. And they make something from
• 54:44
  this. Oh hell yes, because we all make
• 54:49
  mistakes. This particular thing was just
• 54:54
  more highlighted because it was a title match.
• 54:57
  And the main event. And the main event that said it
• 55:03
  happens. If I'm being completely honest,
• 55:06
  I think they they ended up actually falling into success
• 55:10
  with the fact that right ended up giving open a throat chop,
• 55:14
  which means he kind of cheated after the bell, after the match
• 55:18
  originally ended. It sort of added an extra layer
• 55:20
  that right cheated in a small way, a minor telling off from
• 55:25
  the ref kind of way. Not a DQ low blow or anything,
• 55:29
  but you know that that's even more to work with.
• 55:31
  I think it was an instinctual thing to just put open on the
• 55:35
  floor with a cheeky throat shot, but it did have it.
• 55:38
  It has added the thing of right will cheat to win so somewhat if
• 55:44
  they wanted to go that route. But to to put to put a bow on
• 55:50
  this bit, I think future shock in recent times have done well
• 55:58
  to make bad situations come good and the way it is.
• 56:07
  I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt here.
• 56:11
  Oh absolutely. And let it play out.
• 56:15
  Oh nothing against Liam but a sacked in the morning champ
• 56:17
  slash Zack la ref champ. You've got to join in when they
• 56:20
  make a minor blunder again. We're all human though, but
• 56:26
  we'll be. It'll be very interesting to see
• 56:28
  if I was correct that there was only A2 accidentally counted
• 56:35
  because I'm doubting myself now. I might have made a minor human
• 56:39
  error and then Liam would get to shout sacked in the morning to
• 56:42
  be. I mean, it wouldn't make any
• 56:44
  sense, but he could still do it. There's got.
• 56:48
  To be so much editing in this. Making you work.
• 56:53
  If you were to be the coward to let me diss a major mistake,
• 56:59
  then you can edit whatever the hell you want out.
• 57:02
  But I will be suing you for any, any any additional context
• 57:08
  added. I'll be having my legal team
• 57:10
  review. This is going to be so much
• 57:13
  this. The editing on this is going to
• 57:14
  be so great. I'm just going to leave all your
• 57:17
  stuff in and take mine out. And I'll stand by it because I'm
• 57:21
  not a coward. Video.
• 57:28
  But yes, Olbermann loses and so cannot now challenge for the
• 57:34
  Adrenaline title. But as we said, we're going to
• 57:38
  see how it plays out, so. Dog walk the future Dock trophy
• 57:43
  tournament. Just walk in and then just leave
• 57:47
  for the next 8 months. Just leave with a guaranteed
• 57:50
  title shot anytime he said he wants to leave.
• 57:55
  Which would be an interesting way to go.
• 57:58
  Next up for Tony is a Adrenaline title.
• 58:04
  Second. Yeah, second defence, isn't it?
• 58:08
  There'll be his third defence. Sam Bailey was the 1st.
• 58:11
  Oh yes, of course he was completely forgot.
• 58:15
  Sorry, is. Counting Fairfield title matches
• 58:17
  as no Holly Barlow counted her title her matches the title
• 58:24
  defence. Yes, but she actually wrestled
• 58:28
  as herself. But if Joey.
• 58:30
  Travolta can hand out a title match on Joey Hated behalf.
• 58:34
  That was not a title match. That was not a title match.
• 58:38
  No. Who?
• 58:40
  No, but that's the thing. Who?
• 58:44
  Who gave Joey Travolta the authority to give away a title
• 58:47
  shot to Declan McCarthy for a future show?
• 58:50
  At that show, it wasn't Joey Hayes who did it.
• 58:54
  I'd like continuity. I love continuity and quite
• 58:57
  frankly I am disgusted with. God.
• 59:03
  This is an awful, awful performance for me, quite
• 59:06
  frankly. I I thought.
• 59:09
  We'd in the morning. I thought we'd get through this
• 59:12
  show really quick and we're only on show 1 still.
• 59:17
  Well, show 2 is going to have to be rapid fire, then I'll sit
• 59:20
  back and take the lead. Yeah.
• 59:25
  But yeah, that was show 1. I'm going to say 3 out of five
• 59:34
  stars. I don't think you've had
• 59:36
  ratings, not after someone called me the Dave Meltzer of
• 59:41
  Brit Rez. I've been trying to shake that
• 59:43
  nickname ever since. Who came up with Samuel, I
• 59:48
  think, or somebody? It was somebody I, I, I thought,
• 59:52
  thought was a, a fan of me, a big, a big, a good friend.
• 59:56
  And then they call me the Dave Melter of Brit Rest, and I've
• 59:58
  secretly hated him since. I can't remember who it is
• 1:00:00
  though. Wasn't me because we're not
• 1:00:03
  friends. Yeah, show 2 This.
• 1:00:11
  Out of the two shows, this was the by far the better of the two
• 1:00:18
  shows. I think we can agree on that.
• 1:00:21
  Yeah. So we start show 2 with tag team
• 1:00:29
  action as Gen 1 Prince Pele and James Grayson took on the
• 1:00:37
  debuting tag team in a future shot ring, at least in the
• 1:00:42
  Tevlins, that being Aidan Tevlin and hey Jay Tevlin.
• 1:00:49
  What were your thoughts on this match?
• 1:00:52
  I thought it was a good performance from a good showing
• 1:00:55
  by the Tevlins. Gen 1 still hate each other.
• 1:01:00
  Well, they don't hate each other, but they're, they're,
• 1:01:03
  they're still, they're not fine. Nobody's going to convince me
• 1:01:06
  they're fine. Secretly, they may not have
• 1:01:09
  broken up yet, but it's, it's brewing.
• 1:01:11
  There's tension boiling. I I should also add with the
• 1:01:17
  Tevlins was their very stern looking associate of the group
• 1:01:26
  in Kong who interjected himself a couple of times in this match
• 1:01:35
  and is an absolute beast. I must say the ref had an
• 1:01:39
  absolute man not throwing him out.
• 1:01:40
  I can't remember who refed it, but whoever it was who didn't
• 1:01:44
  throw him out for the multiple interferences, I I reckon that
• 1:01:47
  he'll probably be on the chopping block.
• 1:01:51
  It was Liam, it was Liam. I'm just, I'm just being mean to
• 1:01:56
  be mean now. You know, I'll say this, I
• 1:02:02
  really enjoyed this much. It was very it was future.
• 1:02:07
  Jacques rarely stepped up this year.
• 1:02:11
  In the last couple of months, it is massively stepped up, I feel.
• 1:02:19
  And I mean, this is the first that we got on the on the show
• 1:02:24
  at least of seeing people making debuts.
• 1:02:29
  So we've we've seen Aiden before in a in a match.
• 1:02:34
  KJ we haven't seen in an actual match.
• 1:02:39
  We didn't get involved, but not actually in physically in a
• 1:02:44
  wrestling match, but I I really enjoyed this.
• 1:02:52
  We saw Pele basically getting beat up, being isolated in this
• 1:02:59
  encounter. Grayson spent more time on the
• 1:03:02
  floor outside and then when he did come in he was on fire when
• 1:03:09
  he was tagged in. The Tevlin's really strong
• 1:03:14
  performance for a for their first time as A tag team and
• 1:03:22
  just literally just being involved in this match.
• 1:03:27
  Really enjoyed watching them. The Tevlin's won with A Lesson
• 1:03:33
  in Pain which is a suplex powerbomb combo.
• 1:03:41
  Pele putting up a bit of a fight when they tried to put the move
• 1:03:46
  on 1st but after they managed to just beat Pele down a bit more
• 1:03:52
  ended up hitting the move successfully.
• 1:03:57
  And after the match we saw we saw Pele and Grayson having a
• 1:04:04
  little. We call it a love lover's tiff
• 1:04:09
  argument. All is fully not well in Gen 1
• 1:04:14
  despite their assurance reassurances.
• 1:04:20
  Whatever the often they're fine is is what Gen one are at this
• 1:04:23
  moment in time. They are effectively that meme
• 1:04:27
  of the bloke in Venice pouring water back into the Venice water
• 1:04:36
  while it's flooded. That was a great reference to
• 1:04:38
  that. I have no clue what you're on
• 1:04:39
  about. That might be a big thing.
• 1:04:43
  That's effectively how to describe this.
• 1:04:48
  Pele walks off. I suppose we'll have to wait and
• 1:04:53
  see what is what the Gen 1 looks like moving forward.
• 1:05:00
  I think it's going to boil over very, very soon.
• 1:05:03
  It's been building for months now.
• 1:05:05
  Something's going to happen. I don't know if it'll be the
• 1:05:08
  traditional tag team breakup. I I think they might just agree
• 1:05:13
  to leave each other separate. I don't think they, I don't
• 1:05:17
  think I can. I can't imagine James Grayson or
• 1:05:19
  Prince Pele being mean. There's no such thing as mean.
• 1:05:23
  Prince Pele, even though all the promotions have done it.
• 1:05:26
  I've never seen him being mean and I refuse to.
• 1:05:31
  I'm buying couples counselling. If they break up, they're not
• 1:05:34
  breaking up. Nobody's turning me on, nobody's
• 1:05:36
  getting mean. You got the money, Jesus. 50P
• 1:05:42
  Have you sold? Have you saw the cost to them?
• 1:05:46
  I'll do it myself then. Budget budget couples therapy.
• 1:05:53
  You really are splitting up if you're doing it match #2 was Sam
• 1:06:01
  Bailey taking on the returning to future shock the rat king
• 1:06:08
  himself Teddy Ray stole. Good to see Teddy back in future
• 1:06:17
  Shock Ring because we. Oh, you weren't there for
• 1:06:22
  Atomic, was you? I wasn't, no.
• 1:06:24
  But that wasn't Teddy Ray. That was Shrek.
• 1:06:25
  I don't know what? I don't know.
• 1:06:26
  I don't no what happened but I know he was Shrek for some
• 1:06:30
  reason. So we Teddy made his
• 1:06:34
  long-awaited return, having wrestled down under and even in
• 1:06:40
  Vietnam. I think it was on one of the the
• 1:06:43
  stories I saw. So he's.
• 1:06:46
  He's. He's been doing the rounds down
• 1:06:49
  there as good old Terry, Teddy Terry.
• 1:06:52
  Raven, long-awaited cousin, his his brother.
• 1:06:59
  This was just a really good wrestling, technically sound
• 1:07:03
  match. It it was almost more just to
• 1:07:06
  kind of showcase Teddy Ray. I thought like a welcome back
• 1:07:12
  and who better to have that with someone that's equally as
• 1:07:17
  efficient as Sam Bailey? Nobody, nobody's better than Sam
• 1:07:25
  Bailey to welcome and back. It it was a fun contest.
• 1:07:30
  Ray picks up the victory. I could have watched this.
• 1:07:36
  This could have gone a few a few more minutes and I still would
• 1:07:40
  have been happy. There was one move in
• 1:07:42
  particular, though, that I may I wanted it to end immediately
• 1:07:46
  because I thought Terry Ray might have died.
• 1:07:49
  Oh, yeah, Bailey flipped him upside down.
• 1:07:51
  He almost broke his neck, I feared.
• 1:07:54
  Immensely for the rapping, but he kept going.
• 1:07:58
  The more I see that and how it's supposed to look, it looks more
• 1:08:04
  scary and dangerous. He's hit that before.
• 1:08:09
  Yeah, it hits it on Saturday, or I think it was on Saturday.
• 1:08:17
  They did a little TNT show at Comic Con in Liverpool.
• 1:08:26
  But yeah, it's it obviously didn't go to plan.
• 1:08:31
  I think it would be fair to say, very fair.
• 1:08:36
  But it was, it was something. It was definitely something.
• 1:08:43
  I mean, the fact that it it, it ended up everybody being safe,
• 1:08:47
  it just looked like an incredibly, yes, effective move.
• 1:08:51
  You know, as long as, as long as nobody gets hurt.
• 1:08:53
  I think that that's the Teddy Ray formula.
• 1:08:57
  Take about 15 moves that'll kill a lesser man and then bite
• 1:09:01
  someone's arm and whatever the thing you Bob, Bob's your uncle.
• 1:09:07
  But it is the thing of I will say I love Bailey being the.
• 1:09:11
  Bad guy, I think kind of be more Bailey he.
• 1:09:15
  Is be more Bailey be more of a bad guy because he is the best
• 1:09:24
  at it. I love him as a good guy, but
• 1:09:27
  when he's like just a bastard, he's great.
• 1:09:33
  He's so much fun to watch. We then move to match #3 and I
• 1:09:40
  will have to refer to cage match for this because I have not
• 1:09:44
  wrote this down. I have somewhere but I can not
• 1:09:48
  find why. I saw we had the Last Chance
• 1:09:51
  Battle Royal for a place in the future Shock tournament and the
• 1:09:58
  following participants were in no particular order.
• 1:10:06
  Stalloman, Troy. Ryan.
• 1:10:11
  Gorgon. CP Riley, Dynamite, Lee Dawson
• 1:10:17
  and then from the MCPC, Aziz Kong.
• 1:10:26
  And away from that bunch, we had Luke Quaid who was making his
• 1:10:35
  debut, Josh Easy who had already made his debut earlier on and we
• 1:10:43
  had, as far as I know, and I stand to be corrected, we had
• 1:10:50
  Hayley Cooling making their debut.
• 1:10:55
  They have been involved, but I don't think they've actually
• 1:10:58
  wrestled on a show. Again, I could be wrong, but I
• 1:11:06
  don't think they've wrestled in Future Shock.
• 1:11:11
  Was that the person from the Horde?
• 1:11:14
  Yes. Yeah, I'm pretty sure I haven't
• 1:11:17
  seen him wrestle, no. I've definitely seen him on
• 1:11:20
  other shows, but not wrestling. I mean, I really enjoyed this
• 1:11:28
  battle Royale though. It's the.
• 1:11:30
  Greatest formula in the world? It's I actually think a battle
• 1:11:36
  Royale can be better than a rumble when done properly.
• 1:11:42
  With the Rumble, you've got expectations of that #30 if the
• 1:11:45
  number or the last entrant isn't a big name, the Rumble just goes
• 1:11:49
  completely to shit. Whereas with a battle royal, you
• 1:11:52
  can put whoever you want in there and build it up from
• 1:11:55
  everybody gets the same amount of time to build up, build up
• 1:11:58
  their anticipation for the match.
• 1:12:02
  So we, we started out with Aziz and Kong effectively running
• 1:12:09
  through everyone. I will, I, I say Aziz and Kong.
• 1:12:15
  It was Kong, but Aziz was basically doing all the talking
• 1:12:20
  and then had everyone just effectively beating them both up
• 1:12:24
  to begin with because everyone just said I'll them both.
• 1:12:32
  I mean, good luck trying to to kill Kong because I think he
• 1:12:35
  would equally kill you back. There was a.
• 1:12:40
  Few. A few good fun little storylines
• 1:12:45
  within this as well because you had CP Riley winding up Troy
• 1:12:50
  Ryan, obviously because of Daniels breaking his leg, Riley
• 1:12:59
  mocking Daniels by kind of holding his leg and being unable
• 1:13:05
  to walk, which drew the ire of Troy Ryan.
• 1:13:10
  Josh Easy and CP Riley from earlier on kind of kept that
• 1:13:15
  running theme going. And Gorgon, who just kind of
• 1:13:19
  everyone hates this is the horde is just one of those people that
• 1:13:27
  the fans hate. And I will say we touched on
• 1:13:34
  this last time about Dynamite Lee Dawson of we don't know,
• 1:13:39
  kind of like what's going on with him.
• 1:13:43
  It's like you rarely see him and he kind of looked a bit lost in
• 1:13:48
  the shuffle and having him in this match.
• 1:13:55
  Also, little side note, the new tag team name that people want
• 1:14:01
  to see, and I actually hope they do go along with this of the
• 1:14:08
  team of Dynamite, that being Dynamite Lee Dawson and Troy
• 1:14:13
  Ryan. That was I think that caught
• 1:14:18
  them both off guard when that chant was being made behind us.
• 1:14:26
  But yeah, seeing Dynamite Lee Dawson doing well warms my heart
• 1:14:34
  because he he really should be doing more.
• 1:14:38
  But for some reason I said could be injury or along the lines of
• 1:14:43
  that. But this just showed like how
• 1:14:48
  how good he is and how talented he is.
• 1:14:51
  He ended up winning this battle royal, eliminating Solomon last.
• 1:14:58
  And if I can unpin that Solomon thing that I said earlier,
• 1:15:05
  Solomon put in a hell of an effort in this match.
• 1:15:08
  I thought he was, he was one of the best in this contest, was
• 1:15:16
  all over the shop doing kind of like storytelling with Gorgon.
• 1:15:23
  Gorgon, who effectively just relies on Solomon to beat
• 1:15:27
  everyone up. Really.
• 1:15:30
  Solomon eliminated Gorgon, knocking him off.
• 1:15:35
  Gorgon did not appreciate that and kind of left Solomon on his
• 1:15:40
  own. But I think we do have to talk
• 1:15:44
  about one particular bit in this match, and I'm already
• 1:15:51
  salivating over this. And it was when we saw Troy,
• 1:15:56
  Troy, Ryan and Kong in the middle of the ring.
• 1:16:02
  Sterling bastards. It's rare that you have meat.
• 1:16:15
  Actually, no, it's a light. It's future shock.
• 1:16:17
  I was going to say it's rare. You hear the word meat being
• 1:16:19
  thrown kind of out there, but again, it's future shock and
• 1:16:24
  meat will always get used. Did I mean that?
• 1:16:29
  No, ignore. Rosa Beer.
• 1:16:33
  It's, it's, it's late on. We're both tired men.
• 1:16:38
  But yeah, Kong and Ryan, I, I, I hope to God this is a feud we
• 1:16:43
  get moving forward because I want to see these two go out
• 1:16:47
  again. I'm faithful.
• 1:16:49
  They're going to use Congress, just sort of an outside man for
• 1:16:52
  the most part. The scary, scary man.
• 1:16:56
  If they're not, December 7th. We need to manifest this.
• 1:17:04
  We technically done it for Dawson and he won.
• 1:17:07
  I'm saying it now, we we helped Dawson win.
• 1:17:10
  So I'm manifesting Kong and Ryan.
• 1:17:16
  I was shocked Lee Dawson won, quite frankly, because it
• 1:17:20
  doesn't feel like he needs to. The the thing of the last chance
• 1:17:24
  battle royal is that it's someone's last chance and I feel
• 1:17:28
  like he hasn't had a particularly loss filled year in
• 1:17:32
  wrestling that he'd need a last chance, but it's it's it's a
• 1:17:37
  good way to get him into the tournament, get a win on his
• 1:17:40
  belt. I guess I was a bit shocked try
• 1:17:43
  Ryan didn't when considering we've seen him do single stuff
• 1:17:46
  and he's obviously not going to be able to partake in meat
• 1:17:49
  waggon related activities for a little while but.
• 1:17:54
  I, you know, I never even thought of that about Last
• 1:17:57
  Chance in Dawson because it does feel like he has dropped off the
• 1:18:02
  radar and this being the last chance in Dawson getting
• 1:18:06
  involved in winning. I think we're going to see a
• 1:18:11
  different Dawson moving forward and him being in the, the, the
• 1:18:17
  future shop tournament. I was going to add something
• 1:18:22
  else and I thought, no, it's just called the Future Shot
• 1:18:23
  Tournament, Future trophy. Tournament.
• 1:18:27
  That's the word. Well, it's technically time.
• 1:18:32
  Yeah, I'm, I'm happy with the winner.
• 1:18:34
  I thought it makes a lot of sense.
• 1:18:39
  Also, when it got down between Solomon and Dawson, I I leaned
• 1:18:44
  over to Lindsay and I said, I think Dawson's winning this
• 1:18:47
  because he'll have to do the photos.
• 1:18:49
  And I don't think it's going to be Solomon that hasn't.
• 1:18:52
  Every everyone, everyone in that moment realised it was.
• 1:18:55
  I think that's that's the sad thing with the photos.
• 1:18:58
  It's great for getting a photo with with the the big winner of
• 1:19:01
  the day, but it does spoil the match result of the first half
• 1:19:05
  main event every single time. To be fair though, there have
• 1:19:09
  been a couple of times where where you expect a winner to be
• 1:19:16
  a kind of like the good guy or the the good female wrestler.
• 1:19:23
  It does not always work out that way.
• 1:19:29
  We have had the heel do photos. The one that springs to mind was
• 1:19:36
  when I think it should have been Melissa Fierce one against Lana.
• 1:19:42
  I think she did get concussion though, in fairness to her and
• 1:19:45
  they basically sent Lana out to do the photos.
• 1:19:51
  So it's it works either way for me.
• 1:19:55
  Yeah, I must say I'm surprised 1 of Declan McCarthy's group
• 1:20:01
  didn't win it because under the rules of the Future Shock Trophy
• 1:20:05
  tournament, they now don't really have a claim to stick a
• 1:20:08
  Future Shock PC guy in there. I thought he could have tried to
• 1:20:13
  hijack the ring and throw everyone else out and have him
• 1:20:16
  win. I mean, now, now there's going
• 1:20:19
  to be no way for them to do my master plan of them.
• 1:20:23
  Having a few shot PC member win the trophy tournament and then
• 1:20:28
  the second Declan loses the title because let's be honest,
• 1:20:31
  if Hayes wins I'll be flabbergasted.
• 1:20:34
  Having him just able to be walk right back in and win the title
• 1:20:37
  back well. You still have the Teflon's.
• 1:20:43
  Have they won enough to be one of the top ranked eight singles
• 1:20:47
  competitors? Have they mentioned that it's
• 1:20:50
  got to be ranked? It's it for the fact that the
• 1:20:55
  Last Chance Battle Royale features people who were having
• 1:20:58
  a tough year and it happened they.
• 1:21:01
  May not include. I mean, if we're doing that, you
• 1:21:05
  add Luke Quaid in it, who hasn't wrestled Aziz?
• 1:21:08
  Who hasn't wrestled? Actually, Aziz quickly wrestled,
• 1:21:12
  hasn't he? Fairfield.
• 1:21:16
  No, he faced at McCarthy. Then that's that's a sanction
• 1:21:22
  match I guess. I am just checking to see if he
• 1:21:27
  won. I've always, I've always thought
• 1:21:31
  that they should put the graphic for who the seven other
• 1:21:34
  competitors are out before they do the Last Chance battle Royal
• 1:21:38
  and then it's a free for all. Anyone who hasn't qualified
• 1:21:41
  should be allowed to partake because the fact we still don't
• 1:21:45
  have a graphic like a couple of weeks out, it's not just
• 1:21:49
  annoying for me who wants to do a bracket prediction?
• 1:21:53
  It's annoying for the fact that you know in in storyline what if
• 1:21:58
  you've what if you're the 8th best ranked wrestler but you
• 1:22:01
  think you've already got a spot and then you haven't entered the
• 1:22:06
  battle royal. Pick Just pick names out and
• 1:22:09
  throw them into a hat. That's how you work it out.
• 1:22:14
  That's devastating, though. I want, I want real consequences
• 1:22:18
  and real stories in wrestling. I don't want a bunch of new
• 1:22:24
  wrestlers chucked in with three big names.
• 1:22:28
  I will say this, the way they've gone the last couple of months
• 1:22:31
  with this whole reboot, in a sense I'm letting it play out.
• 1:22:36
  I have faith in them. I have faith in them too, but it
• 1:22:40
  is, it is one of them where as much as I dish a lot of
• 1:22:43
  criticism, I, I do hope that I dish enough positivity as well
• 1:22:47
  to come back. But that is it is something that
• 1:22:49
  has made me quite sad because they've been on such a tear.
• 1:22:52
  And it seems the Declan McCarthy story's been so well, it's been
• 1:22:56
  well put together in the, the PC aspects of it.
• 1:22:59
  Perhaps having Joey Travolta being the one to issue the
• 1:23:03
  challenge was, you know, there's there's, there's a bit there,
• 1:23:06
  but I just feel like I don't know.
• 1:23:09
  I would have liked them to have it a bit more professionally
• 1:23:12
  laid out. Like when we'd get there, they
• 1:23:14
  could have done a whole bit during intermission where they
• 1:23:18
  if it is drawing names out the hat, they draw the names at that
• 1:23:21
  or they reveal the brackets at the end of the show or
• 1:23:24
  something. I don't know.
• 1:23:27
  We'll. We'll see.
• 1:23:29
  I I was. The thing is though, when they
• 1:23:31
  do these tournaments, you try and guess who's who hasn't been
• 1:23:38
  kind of who's wrestled that will actually be not available but
• 1:23:48
  would qualify to be in this because the ones we can think of
• 1:23:55
  as we stand. Dawson.
• 1:23:59
  Yeah, he's autistic. We think Olbermann.
• 1:24:04
  I'd assume he'd be in there if if it is off Rangan's, yeah,
• 1:24:07
  he's had the best year and then. If they do go down that thing,
• 1:24:12
  you can have Tevlin or the two Tevlin's.
• 1:24:17
  But they've not won a singles match though.
• 1:24:19
  Is that is the issue that I'm perhaps finding with the
• 1:24:25
  rankings? Obviously they will, but I want
• 1:24:30
  to know the the I'd like to have a look at the board who are
• 1:24:33
  picking these choices and investigate their qualification
• 1:24:39
  judgements. I will throw a name into the the
• 1:24:44
  mix. Hit me.
• 1:24:46
  Teddy Ray. See he's he's won and out in
• 1:24:52
  matches since his return, so 100% win rate should get him in
• 1:24:56
  the tournament. Because I'm just seeing when he
• 1:25:02
  last wrestled. It will have been 25 against
• 1:25:06
  Ridgeway I think in Fairfield. No, it was.
• 1:25:11
  It was last December. I thought he'd wrestled this
• 1:25:17
  year and it wasn't. What he's telling me here is
• 1:25:20
  he's got 100% win record in 2025 and he's competing match he's
• 1:25:25
  in. He's in.
• 1:25:28
  I thought he'd wrestled a couple of times this year and he
• 1:25:30
  hasn't. The names I can see being in
• 1:25:35
  there for definite are I think Brake Strong and Bentley will
• 1:25:38
  run it back in the four way. They won't face each other in
• 1:25:40
  the qualifiers, but the four way final, I think they'll both be
• 1:25:43
  in that. So just from the poster, it
• 1:25:47
  looks like Brake Strong is in the tournament and you wouldn't
• 1:25:50
  have Bentley not in the tournament if Brake's won it.
• 1:25:54
  If it breaks in it I mean. Double count out.
• 1:25:57
  Oh. That'd just be.
• 1:26:01
  That you have a triple threat. Lovely, I'd love a double count
• 1:26:05
  out. So you don't get double count
• 1:26:08
  outs in tournaments. No.
• 1:26:12
  Oh well, we then had for the women's championship Holly
• 1:26:19
  Barlow defending against Lucy Sky and Lily Windsor.
• 1:26:28
  I, I, I enjoyed this much, I know I say I enjoy most matches
• 1:26:32
  but I didn't enjoy this. This was it was a whole lot of
• 1:26:36
  fun, especially with those that were sat behind us chanting to
• 1:26:42
  see Sky towards Lucy who I don't think she appreciated it.
• 1:26:49
  No, she doesn't seem to be a fan of To the suit to see Sky Chance
• 1:26:53
  or anyone inquiring what the wig Bam Bam actually is.
• 1:26:57
  And I will fight until every every last day on Earth, I will
• 1:27:00
  fight to find out what the Wigwam Bam is if it's the last
• 1:27:04
  thing I do. The one that, Oh no, it wasn't
• 1:27:08
  this much, it was a different one.
• 1:27:10
  But I, I have an MVP on the night and it was not a wrestler,
• 1:27:20
  but I, I will come back to that. But it was one person that was
• 1:27:25
  in the crowd who was unofficially my MVP of Show 2.
• 1:27:30
  Oh wow. And you know.
• 1:27:33
  Him You can't keep saying me. You can't keep saying me.
• 1:27:37
  You know, I know I'm, I know I'm, I'm great, but I can't be
• 1:27:41
  whenever winning everything. You're right, because it's not
• 1:27:44
  you. I'm trying to pick pieces out of
• 1:27:52
  this much. The one that springs to mind the
• 1:27:56
  most was Holly attacking or I can't remember if she hits a
• 1:28:04
  forearm or if she kicks Lucy who falls back onto Lily Winter and
• 1:28:12
  almost gets a free count and Holly has to like knock Lucy off
• 1:28:18
  to avoid losing the title. Oh yeah, I remember that.
• 1:28:22
  But that was good, yeah. That that was.
• 1:28:24
  Remembering the Lily summer match from Fairfield for a
• 1:28:27
  second then. But no, that also had a knock
• 1:28:29
  down accidental pinfall. Yes, I was almost a call back to
• 1:28:35
  that in a sense. Was it Lucy was just being her
• 1:28:42
  brutal self and especially after her match she had against Willow
• 1:28:46
  Nightingale Eve which if anyone has not seen it I highly
• 1:28:52
  recommend trying to watch that bout because it was brutal
• 1:28:57
  between them two. It was it was brutal watching at
• 1:29:02
  ringside and I can't, I genuinely cannot explain how
• 1:29:11
  punishing a lot of those moves were to each other, but it was
• 1:29:16
  easily one of the best matches I've seen this year.
• 1:29:21
  Without question, it is up there for one of the matches of the
• 1:29:25
  year. This however saw Holly retaining
• 1:29:32
  her title with a Barlow stunner. Thank you PPW for posting the
• 1:29:38
  video of her doing the move so I knew what it was called.
• 1:29:45
  Hitting it on Lily for the 123. Holly retains and it's just now
• 1:29:53
  a case of what next for the women's champion.
• 1:29:58
  We need to inject some life into the women's division.
• 1:30:01
  I can't lie, it's the same people every time.
• 1:30:04
  But if they're always good. But I'd like to see I know some
• 1:30:08
  some new names in 2026. Because we have seen some new
• 1:30:12
  blood added kind of in the the first half of the year or even
• 1:30:19
  kind of even the back end. Because we had Violet Knight,
• 1:30:23
  who I am a massive fan of, especially seeing her at Bridge
• 1:30:29
  Pro and she had a cracker of a match against Lily Winter, which
• 1:30:36
  I believe I want to say was last December as I Scroll down and I
• 1:30:43
  was correct. She lost to Lily Winter at I'm a
• 1:30:49
  Wrestler Get Me Out of Here Part 2.
• 1:30:52
  But we've also had Leonie Rose. The thing that Future Shock have
• 1:30:59
  done well is well is when they bring in new female talent,
• 1:31:04
  they've all knocked out the park.
• 1:31:08
  And also Knight did say that she would come back, so fingers
• 1:31:13
  crossed. I would like to see Knight.
• 1:31:19
  However, I have a name that I would like to include in the
• 1:31:25
  chat for a women's title match. And you may know who I'm going
• 1:31:32
  to say on this. Someone that did not lose the
• 1:31:38
  title. That's a good point.
• 1:31:42
  I haven't heard much about Leah Raven.
• 1:31:46
  It would, but if they bring her back I would have her as a heel.
• 1:31:54
  I think she's she's a heel in most places, isn't she?
• 1:31:56
  If you have been able to say yeah, she's got a very justified
• 1:32:01
  reaction. They haven't given her a title
• 1:32:02
  shot even though she's been back and thriving for a while now.
• 1:32:07
  Because she she's been saying she's wanting to come back and
• 1:32:12
  kind of, if we haven't seen her and she has a good claim to say
• 1:32:18
  that she never lost the title. Just putting that out.
• 1:32:23
  There, let's have let's have two whole women's feuds running in
• 1:32:27
  feud shocker at one time. Let's give Polly Rolo someone
• 1:32:30
  else for a bit. Give Leah Raymond a feud with
• 1:32:33
  who was it? Who she was feuding with an
• 1:32:35
  attack was it Lily winter? I feel feel like Lily Winter was
• 1:32:38
  involved in recently but. She was feuding as far as I
• 1:32:45
  remember. She just beat Lana Austin for
• 1:32:50
  the. Retained against Lana.
• 1:32:53
  Austin at the 20th anniversary. And then kind of we, we know
• 1:33:01
  what happened. She kind of vacated the title.
• 1:33:06
  And then we had this awkward little period with the women's
• 1:33:10
  title where there didn't seem to be any real people in the mix.
• 1:33:19
  But in recent months at least, it feels like it's been one of
• 1:33:23
  the more important titles at the company.
• 1:33:28
  Definitely top. Guarantee it.
• 1:33:35
  I compared to the men's, it's been the, it's been more
• 1:33:40
  important in my view. I'd say so, yeah.
• 1:33:44
  But has anyone earned a shot at the title within the last six
• 1:33:47
  months? Or have they been given one just
• 1:33:48
  like the men's? I don't think I've seen many #1
• 1:33:55
  contender matches for either of the main title.
• 1:33:58
  The future. The last #1 contendership for
• 1:34:01
  the women's title was Holly beating Lizzie Evo.
• 1:34:08
  That far back, Wow. Which, if we scroll, thanks to
• 1:34:14
  our good friends at Page Match, was back in G back in May at
• 1:34:26
  Everyone deserves a second shot. Yeah, I remember.
• 1:34:31
  Good show, good promotional material for that show.
• 1:34:33
  They just got a bunch of childhood photos and young promo
• 1:34:39
  pics. I remember it now.
• 1:34:41
  I I wasn't, I wasn't there for for that much.
• 1:34:45
  Oh, for that show even I don't know where I was.
• 1:34:49
  That's a question. And I can't scroll back to see
• 1:34:54
  where I was. I could have been in
• 1:34:55
  Southampton, but I as Tacita, I digress.
• 1:35:01
  But yeah, what's what's the the future for Holly and the women's
• 1:35:07
  title remains to see watch this space.
• 1:35:12
  Our penultimate match of the night.
• 1:35:15
  We're slowly getting there folks.
• 1:35:17
  Bear with us. FTM versus the O 5 in a 10
• 1:35:22
  minute limit match where the stipulation was if the O 5
• 1:35:28
  lasted 10 minutes or picked up a win, they would earn a title
• 1:35:34
  shot at For the Love of Wrestling event in February.
• 1:35:44
  So Jack, how would you describe this?
• 1:35:49
  Well, I believe they've they retro actively changed it
• 1:35:54
  because on the night it was announced that they had to beat
• 1:35:56
  them in 10 minutes. But I do remember it being have
• 1:35:59
  to survive 10 minutes, which was a bit of a bit of a different
• 1:36:05
  approach that I would have taken.
• 1:36:08
  But yeah, I liked, I like this one.
• 1:36:10
  It's I like the fact that it gave us a bit of a taster.
• 1:36:13
  We've not got a definitive finish, but now we're getting
• 1:36:16
  the real match next time. This was this was only to set
• 1:36:20
  up. Surprised they didn't
• 1:36:22
  immediately after the match promote For the Love of
• 1:36:25
  Wrestling 15 times and there was a lack of promotional stuff
• 1:36:30
  surrounding For the Love of Wrestling.
• 1:36:33
  Considering that was pretty much just a promo match for For the
• 1:36:37
  Love of Wrestling I. Mean we've we've seen these two
• 1:36:44
  face off quite often I feel now and Jack is disappeared but we
• 1:36:53
  will add him back into the chat. Jack still looks slightly
• 1:37:00
  confused. Are you there, Jack?
• 1:37:09
  Technical difficulties. My laptop died but I'm on my
• 1:37:13
  phone now. You, you look so shocked to the
• 1:37:17
  left of me right now because I have you on Liz.
• 1:37:23
  I have free screens right now. Can you kick the other Jack out?
• 1:37:30
  Is he? Is he kickable?
• 1:37:32
  No, I can't. I'm.
• 1:37:39
  That is a shame. There you go.
• 1:37:41
  I have took that for you've. You've ruined it.
• 1:37:47
  But yeah, I was just saying that we've kind of seen FTM and the
• 1:37:50
  O5 wrestle quite a lot this year against each other, which from
• 1:37:57
  the start of the year we had loads of tag teams and it almost
• 1:38:02
  feels like we've dried up a wee bit.
• 1:38:06
  A. Little bit still yet to Oh no,
• 1:38:10
  they've had a tight on that show.
• 1:38:11
  I wasn't that I forgot. Yeah.
• 1:38:14
  So I mean, I'm trying to think of over tag, tag teams we've
• 1:38:19
  had. So Forbidden Planet have kind of
• 1:38:25
  disappeared for a little bit at this point.
• 1:38:30
  I. Mean.
• 1:38:32
  You've got me like and who? Obviously we're not going to see
• 1:38:36
  them anytime soon. FTMNRG if they come back, mind
• 1:38:47
  the grade, yeah. Oh, that's.
• 1:38:51
  I imagine they're going to wrestle in December.
• 1:38:54
  Well, that's what you would think.
• 1:38:56
  With with the with the match for February being announced, it's
• 1:39:02
  ruined Mind the glazes, sort of the suspense of the Mind the
• 1:39:06
  Glaze match, which is a shame. Yeah.
• 1:39:12
  Because the match is FTMV. Like it's it's a heel team with
• 1:39:17
  a heel manager. The the legends involved aren't
• 1:39:20
  really interchangeable either. Because it's.
• 1:39:25
  It has, yeah. It feels like they've slightly
• 1:39:31
  messed themselves up on the the tag team side.
• 1:39:36
  The the way they should have gone about it was just saying if
• 1:39:41
  if the O5 won the match then they would get a title shot
• 1:39:44
  against whoever the Champions would be come February.
• 1:39:51
  But the fact they've said we will see you in February to
• 1:39:54
  defend the titles, if that's all it means, we ain't going to see
• 1:39:59
  him for about two shows then. Yeah, and the other thing is
• 1:40:04
  that the For the Love of Wrestling shows usually aren't
• 1:40:08
  nothing too crazy happens. Because.
• 1:40:10
  It's not a few shocks, core audience that attend that event.
• 1:40:15
  Obviously we could see a title shot, the title change, but I
• 1:40:20
  feel like it's just sort of, it's put us on pause for three
• 1:40:24
  months now. It's it's, yeah, they do have
• 1:40:32
  this tendency to build a title up really well and then
• 1:40:37
  completely bypass one of the title.
• 1:40:41
  It's it's almost the the old round on whose line is it
• 1:40:45
  anyway? One lies down, 1 bends over and
• 1:40:50
  one stands where one title will be standing, one title kind of
• 1:40:58
  be leaning and one will just be well laced flat strip layout.
• 1:41:07
  They don't seem to build them all at the same time, which is
• 1:41:11
  quite frustrating. I feel the only time I can think
• 1:41:17
  we're all titles really meant a whole lot.
• 1:41:22
  All they're all kind of set up really well was probably that
• 1:41:25
  20th anniversary show because I keep harping back to that show,
• 1:41:32
  but it really was for me the the best build I've seen future shot
• 1:41:37
  put on because there was a a storyline for everything in that
• 1:41:42
  show. And then since then they kind of
• 1:41:46
  fell away and it's only been the last couple of months.
• 1:41:49
  They've kind of got their act together in a way.
• 1:41:53
  So. Yeah, I think it's so easily
• 1:41:57
  fixable as well. That's what's frustrating.
• 1:42:00
  There's so many easy fixes. They could just apply that,
• 1:42:03
  improve the title landscape or tenfold, hundredfold.
• 1:42:09
  You know, you've got 15 tag teams, you've got tag teams
• 1:42:12
  literally being made in every match like Dynamite you.
• 1:42:16
  You've got new tag teams coming through every 5 minutes.
• 1:42:18
  Yet they seem to always want to sort of hark back to the same 7
• 1:42:24
  tag teams. But hey ho, the all five win
• 1:42:31
  this anyway with a roll up from Henry on McCall.
• 1:42:38
  The the thing that made me laugh the most was after the match
• 1:42:42
  where Harvey Dukes basically dashes up the stage area to get
• 1:42:48
  away from FTM and Henry just stays in the ring and I'm
• 1:42:54
  waiting for McCall and Critchey to just like attack him and
• 1:42:59
  nothing happens. They were just shocked over the
• 1:43:02
  result. I'm thinking Deck, I think you
• 1:43:05
  need to get out the ring and get your meet up with your partner.
• 1:43:10
  It was almost like they were they had a plan and it I think
• 1:43:14
  they just completely forgot Oh no, we should both escape the
• 1:43:17
  ring and head up the stage and they didn't.
• 1:43:21
  So that was a bit fun. But now we come to the
• 1:43:27
  Thankfully, after this marathon we have the main event of the
• 1:43:32
  evening, a Last Man Standing match between Gary McGuinness
• 1:43:38
  and Dec McCarthy. This was a banger.
• 1:43:51
  Maybe future shock of the next ECW?
• 1:43:53
  I'm finding out that the weapons matches seem to be the best.
• 1:43:57
  That's part of that from Joe. Miss it was brutal but I loved
• 1:44:06
  it well. Yeah, it was.
• 1:44:10
  It was exactly what you want. It's.
• 1:44:14
  Aborted. There whoops.
• 1:44:16
  There has been occasions where you have weapons matches or the
• 1:44:23
  kind of build it up as a bad blood match and you don't.
• 1:44:29
  It doesn't come across as a bad blood feud at all.
• 1:44:32
  It just comes across like a normal match where a chair gets
• 1:44:35
  used and that's it. This however is literally just
• 1:44:42
  beating the shit out of each other and it was great.
• 1:44:50
  I did feel sorry massively though for the bin in this
• 1:44:54
  contest. I think we need the 10 belt blue
• 1:44:57
  at the start of the next show. It was destroyed.
• 1:45:01
  The smashed over Mcguinness's head.
• 1:45:04
  I can still watch it. I could still picture the binge
• 1:45:10
  just disintegrating, especially as we had pictures took with it
• 1:45:16
  after the show as well. For me that was a bit dry.
• 1:45:24
  But yeah, McGuinness took it to McCarthy, McCarthy took it to
• 1:45:28
  McGuinness. It was what you wanted from this
• 1:45:32
  feud. You knew it was coming.
• 1:45:37
  And I will say the good thing about it, there was no
• 1:45:40
  interference. It was just letting these two
• 1:45:43
  get on with it. That Glynn needed a match where
• 1:45:47
  there was no shenanigans, no nonsense.
• 1:45:51
  Because it proves that once he if he wants to switch on, then
• 1:45:53
  he can. He can be a monster.
• 1:45:57
  Because it's the thing with with Deck of while this whole McAfee
• 1:46:03
  Performance Centre has been going on, we've not really seen
• 1:46:08
  him being like an evil bastard, so to speak.
• 1:46:14
  We've seen him being just kind of like villainous without like
• 1:46:21
  the Venom. And on this match, this is what
• 1:46:25
  he needed to like build up that title match next next month.
• 1:46:33
  Just those shots that he gave McGinnis when he was upside down
• 1:46:39
  in the corner with like the kendo stick or the bamboo stick,
• 1:46:45
  whatever the hell you want to call.
• 1:46:47
  Already to watch? They they were, they were hard
• 1:46:53
  to watch, but as a sicko like myself, I appreciated them.
• 1:47:04
  I just met getting told that the the kendo stick that they were
• 1:47:07
  using was the performance centre issued kendo stick that they
• 1:47:12
  used for the classes where they're teaching them how to use
• 1:47:14
  a weapon. Which makes it even worse than
• 1:47:16
  McCarthy using performance centre property.
• 1:47:19
  He's nicked the performance centre and now he's using the
• 1:47:22
  weapons that are provided. Inside job, inside job.
• 1:47:29
  But yeah, they worked equally as good inside as outside, I
• 1:47:37
  thought in this match. The powerbomb by McCarthy on
• 1:47:41
  McGuinness up on the stage looks bloody brutal.
• 1:47:50
  It did feel like Gary took most of the the bigger bumps in this,
• 1:47:55
  yeah. I mean, it rendered him
• 1:47:58
  physically incapable to, to, to wrestle the next day, to train
• 1:48:02
  the next day. My inside sources have told me
• 1:48:06
  he had to cancel his training session the next day because of
• 1:48:08
  how? Because of how beaten he was.
• 1:48:11
  Yeah. But the thing was, Gary kept
• 1:48:15
  getting up during all these counts when he thought, oh,
• 1:48:19
  that's probably going to be the end of the match, kept going.
• 1:48:26
  And then things ended with MacArthur hitting a lariat, and
• 1:48:32
  it was a big old lariat at that that kept him down.
• 1:48:41
  I would probably put this as my second favourite match of the
• 1:48:45
  day with Riley and easy inferred I.
• 1:48:52
  Mean that's a decent top three. Yeah, for for kind of like a
• 1:49:00
  smaller promotion to have three matches of that quality over the
• 1:49:05
  day. I mean, you definitely got value
• 1:49:11
  for money over the entire day. There were some bad matches,
• 1:49:17
  there were some good matches and there were some banger matches.
• 1:49:24
  We're probably doing it a disservice, not talking much
• 1:49:27
  about it, but there isn't really too much you could say.
• 1:49:33
  But it was just brutal. I think the best way we can
• 1:49:38
  really kind of you say is just get it on demand, just watch the
• 1:49:44
  match yourself and just see how violent and brutal it was
• 1:49:50
  because it was violent. Any of the photos that have been
• 1:49:55
  posted by by Gary McGuinness, you'll see how horrifying looked
• 1:50:00
  after the match. The the state of Gary's body
• 1:50:05
  afterwards was. It was I walked past him and it
• 1:50:11
  was I winced just seeing some of those marks he had on his body
• 1:50:16
  through which he I was put. I got shown a photo that he that
• 1:50:30
  he actually posted on his social page.
• 1:50:35
  If I can find it, I don't think I can you're.
• 1:50:42
  Referring to though with the the scar.
• 1:50:45
  Yes where I think it was his Oh huh so so he posted that he had
• 1:50:55
  the the bruises and his post was my kids mate was telling him how
• 1:51:02
  his dad fell off his bike and hurt his knee.
• 1:51:06
  My wee fella goes well. My dad got hung upside down and
• 1:51:11
  hit with a kendo stick. Powerbombed on a stage, slammed
• 1:51:15
  for a bin. Dad.
• 1:51:18
  Show him your bruises. To which he then posts.
• 1:51:24
  I was worried I'd traumatise him by letting him watch that but
• 1:51:30
  now I'm I'm the cool dad, all I had to do was better.
• 1:51:35
  You know a match is good when they have to say that they went,
• 1:51:40
  they almost traumatised their children with it.
• 1:51:42
  Yeah, so I kept looking behind to see like what the reactions
• 1:51:49
  were. It wasn't quite Foley, Royal
• 1:51:56
  Rumble 99 levels, but it was still brutal enough.
• 1:52:03
  But yeah, I, I enjoyed this match thoroughly, thoroughly.
• 1:52:10
  Overall, I OK out of 10. How would you rate it not using
• 1:52:16
  Meltzer styles? Well, I thought it was.
• 1:52:21
  The show was a solid 7.5 overall.
• 1:52:27
  The whole day, the whole day I'm giving 7.5.
• 1:52:30
  I mean it could easily be an 8. Yeah, there's again.
• 1:52:36
  There was bangers. Good.
• 1:52:45
  And some not so good, but then again, you, I mean, if if you
• 1:52:51
  wanted to see bangers, then you would be paying about quarter of
• 1:52:55
  a million for either WWE tickets or affordable ones if it was AW.
• 1:53:03
  I was going to say, don't you kiss my glorious AW affordable
• 1:53:06
  family pricing. To which you, you know what
• 1:53:12
  you're getting. And the, the Isaiah Quinn
• 1:53:16
  brought this up earlier of how everyone that was debuting last
• 1:53:20
  weekend hit out the park and he is so accurate with that
• 1:53:26
  assessment. Everyone that was involved that
• 1:53:29
  was making their debuts, two thumbs up, round of applause.
• 1:53:36
  You all did great. But it does now make it
• 1:53:44
  interesting for the next show, which is December 7th at the
• 1:53:49
  Stockport Guildhall for future Shock of the Lightning.
• 1:53:58
  It's a It's a great name for the show, as I believe you'll be
• 1:54:04
  telling goes soon. Yeah, I'll just, I'll, I'll,
• 1:54:12
  I'll, no, I'm going to use the thumper kind of.
• 1:54:16
  If you haven't got anything nice to say, don't say anything at
• 1:54:21
  all. I'm going to use that because I
• 1:54:24
  haven't got anything nice to say about that name.
• 1:54:29
  As long as the action ring's good, I don't care if it was
• 1:54:33
  called. Absolutely.
• 1:54:34
  Yeah, we've got lots of fun. Absolutely the the, the action
• 1:54:39
  in the ring should be fun because future shock I feel as I
• 1:54:43
  said, the last couple of months have gone up, have gone up a
• 1:54:48
  level. And if they continue, then we as
• 1:54:54
  as the kids say, we are eating. You've broken menu.
• 1:55:04
  I'm absolutely 7 for the man I've been.
• 1:55:10
  As the kids say, I'm creasing. We'll kind of leave on that
• 1:55:18
  note. Have you?
• 1:55:23
  I, I could just be, I'm just guessing here, but have you got
• 1:55:27
  anything you'd like to plug? No, not particularly.
• 1:55:34
  Right. So we will move very quickly on
• 1:55:36
  this. Are you sure you haven't got
• 1:55:40
  anything you'd like to plug? I mean if you've got to push me
• 1:55:44
  rambling about wrestling, check out their socials.
• 1:55:48
  I believe it's the believe it is just rambling rats on most
• 1:55:52
  social medias. It's it's, it's going to be a
• 1:55:57
  lot of fun. We've got an announcement coming
• 1:55:58
  up in just a couple of days that will shock the world.
• 1:56:04
  We'll, we'll see. You're a fan of obscure British
• 1:56:09
  independent wrestling and a man named Samuel booking random
• 1:56:14
  events to happen in 2026. You'll love it.
• 1:56:19
  And also some games. We've got games.
• 1:56:22
  I do feel like Samuel at this point is almost like the cow
• 1:56:26
  Pilkington of British wrestling. I think I've broke him a second
• 1:56:33
  time here. Yes, the some of the things he
• 1:56:41
  will post. I'm thinking it is pure
• 1:56:43
  Pilkington. Yeah.
• 1:56:47
  If it had been 10 years like Briar, it would have been like
• 1:56:53
  an Alan Partridge. But it's a Pilkington now, so I
• 1:57:00
  will. Jack has no idea who Alan
• 1:57:03
  Partridge is because he's. I know who Alan Partridge is.
• 1:57:07
  He's great banter. That's about all I know.
• 1:57:10
  But he's he did Alan. I'm Alan Partridge.
• 1:57:14
  Is everything OK or whatever it's called recently?
• 1:57:16
  That was good. Your Partridge?
• 1:57:23
  Yeah, that's all. That's his socials.
• 1:57:27
  I might as well do, man. I'm Brad's Grappas on Instagram.
• 1:57:34
  I'm giving thought into creating a XR Twitter account for Brad's
• 1:57:43
  Grappas. I'm debating it so keep tuned
• 1:57:49
  for that. Otherwise, if you want to send
• 1:57:51
  me hate mail because I think after this episode I will
• 1:57:55
  probably get a lot of hate hate mail.
• 1:57:58
  My way, it's me. I will stand my ground.
• 1:58:01
  I'll tell you where you messed up if you want to send hate
• 1:58:04
  mail. So if you want to send it to
• 1:58:09
  PETA Bradders, Capital P, Capital B, I'm tired.
• 1:58:17
  We've been talking for over nearly nearly three hours, just
• 1:58:25
  just too much. And what was the last thing I
• 1:58:28
  said to you before we started this?
• 1:58:30
  I. Don't remember what the last
• 1:58:32
  thing you said to me full stop was.
• 1:58:35
  I wanted to keep this to within under an hour.
• 1:58:41
  Haven't. I haven't accomplished that,
• 1:58:43
  ladies and gentlemen, and I still have a progress with you
• 1:58:49
  to do. And the notes I've wrote for
• 1:58:53
  that were ridiculous, so you have been warned.
• 1:58:59
  That is a shake. Yeah, for you, but that's it for
• 1:59:08
  now. Thank you for listening, if
• 1:59:14
  anyone wants to send any kind of ONS or any kind of like painting
• 1:59:22
  my way send it courtesy to Jack and he will back mum.
• 1:59:29
  I love reading. I hate that.
• 1:59:31
  Yeah, it's. Been great, thank you for your
• 1:59:33
  forever. He has been Jack, I have been
• 1:59:40
  better. Thank you for listening and good
• 1:59:46
  night.
