Latest / Solomonster Sounds Off / AEW Dynamite 5/27/26 Review | MJF Gets TWO NEW CHALLENGERS, Kevin Knight's First Heel Promo
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: What is going on, guys? It is a Wednesday night.
- 0:03Speaker 1: I am the Solemn Monster. Thank you for tuning in
- 0:05Speaker 1: to the weekly Dynamite review. See, it was a very
- 0:09Speaker 1: busy weekend and I knew it was going to catch
- 0:12Speaker 1: up to me. I had a lot going on on
- 0:15Speaker 1: Friday at the House of Glory show, and I had
- 0:17Speaker 1: something to do on Saturday, and then we had the
- 0:19Speaker 1: podcast on Sunday, and we had the pay per view
- 0:22Speaker 1: and went to bed at four am on Monday. And
- 0:26Speaker 1: so now I am sick. I knew this was going
- 0:29Speaker 1: to happen. I knew this was going to happen. And
- 0:32Speaker 1: tonight we had three hours of AW, but I wasn't
- 0:35Speaker 1: sticking around until the end of hour three. But this
- 0:39Speaker 1: was the post pay per view episode of Dynamite, and
- 0:42Speaker 1: in the past AW tends to drop the ball when
- 0:46Speaker 1: it comes to these post pay per view shows. They
- 0:47Speaker 1: just end up not being very exciting. And so what
- 0:51Speaker 1: Tony sometimes does is he'll, you know, love them up
- 0:54Speaker 1: maybe with some big matches, and it looks very wrestling
- 0:58Speaker 1: heavy and you can get some really good matches out
- 1:00Speaker 1: of it, but you want to have a good mix.
- 1:02Speaker 1: You want to have some good matches you want to
- 1:04Speaker 1: have some exciting television, you want to have some storyline developments,
- 1:08Speaker 1: and they just don't always do a good job of
- 1:09Speaker 1: that coming out of these pay per views. This was
- 1:12Speaker 1: not a bad episode. This was not like an offensively
- 1:16Speaker 1: bad episode. It just wasn't very exciting. It wasn't the best,
- 1:22Speaker 1: most exciting follow up to what I thought was the
- 1:24Speaker 1: best pro wrestling pay per view or event period that
- 1:27Speaker 1: I've seen of the entire year, and it was, to
- 1:32Speaker 1: me anyway, pretty average fare. As far as Dynamite goes,
- 1:37Speaker 1: we had Mark Davis and Jack Perry in the main event. Now, look,
- 1:41Speaker 1: I like Mark Davis. I'm a Mark Davis fan, and
- 1:45Speaker 1: so it's cool to see him getting all of this
- 1:47Speaker 1: television time. Should he be wrestling Jack Perry in the
- 1:50Speaker 1: main event of aw Dynamite. No, but that was our
- 1:54Speaker 1: main event. Now, technically again, there was another hour of
- 1:57Speaker 1: the show, but as far as Dynamite goes, that was
- 1:59Speaker 1: the main event, and they ended up having what I
- 2:01Speaker 1: thought was actually a really strong match. I mean, I
- 2:04Speaker 1: enjoyed the match from a wrestling perspective. And Mark Davis
- 2:08Speaker 1: is moving on to the next round. He's going to
- 2:10Speaker 1: be stepping into the Ring with will Osprey, and then
- 2:15Speaker 1: we had in the other men's owen Hart tournament match,
- 2:19Speaker 1: we had Claudio Castagnoli against Brody King, which is a
- 2:22Speaker 1: match that we've seen twice before in the C two.
- 2:27Speaker 1: So this was effectively the rubber match here between these
- 2:29Speaker 1: two men, and Brody King is moving on, which I
- 2:33Speaker 1: think a lot of people probably figured he's moving on
- 2:35Speaker 1: to wrestle Swer of Strickland that'll be taking place in
- 2:38Speaker 1: the next round. I was more interested in two things.
- 2:43Speaker 1: What would the follow up be with Kevin Knight coming
- 2:46Speaker 1: out of what we saw at the end of the
- 2:47Speaker 1: pay per view where he did a UFO splash to
- 2:51Speaker 1: Darby Allen and were what would the follow up be
- 2:53Speaker 1: with MJF who just won back the aw World Championship,
- 2:58Speaker 1: And I was he's pretty unimpressed with what they did.
- 3:02Speaker 1: In both cases here, we did get a Kevin Knight promo.
- 3:06Speaker 1: We at least got an explanation for why he did
- 3:08Speaker 1: what he did. It wasn't any sort of blowaway, big
- 3:11Speaker 1: heel promo or anything like that, but we did get
- 3:14Speaker 1: an explanation from him. With MJF, they actually lined up
- 3:18Speaker 1: two challengers for him, and we already know what his
- 3:21Speaker 1: first title defense is going to be. It's going to
- 3:23Speaker 1: be taking place on Dynamite next week. And I may
- 3:26Speaker 1: have a difference of opinion with people who think that,
- 3:29Speaker 1: you know, he shouldn't be defending the championship. That doesn't
- 3:31Speaker 1: bother me so much, just because if he's not on
- 3:35Speaker 1: the show defending the championship, it makes it more likely that,
- 3:37Speaker 1: you know, people will you know, complain about how nothing
- 3:40Speaker 1: important ever happens on these shows or where's the excitement. Well,
- 3:44Speaker 1: you're gonna have MJF defending the world championship and I
- 3:46Speaker 1: can't argue with that. So he's going to be defending
- 3:49Speaker 1: the title next week against Rouche, and Mark Briscoe showed
- 3:55Speaker 1: up and he wants a piece of MJF as well. Now,
- 3:58Speaker 1: storyline wise, it makes sense that you have somebody in
- 4:01Speaker 1: Mark Briscoe who actually got a win on pay per
- 4:03Speaker 1: view last year over MJF, and now MJF is once
- 4:08Speaker 1: again the world champion. Mark Briscoe says, you know what,
- 4:11Speaker 1: I have a win over you, and so I want
- 4:14Speaker 1: a title match, right, Okay? Sure? Not the most exciting
- 4:19Speaker 1: challengers to line up immediately coming out of this pay
- 4:21Speaker 1: per view because they just haven't been built up enough,
- 4:25Speaker 1: frankly for me to get terribly excited about it. Rush
- 4:28Speaker 1: is a great wrestler, of course, he's a great wrestler.
- 4:30Speaker 1: Mark Briscoe, Hey, I don't got anything against Mark Briscoe,
- 4:34Speaker 1: but I can't sit here and tell you that these
- 4:35Speaker 1: are the most exciting challengers that they have come up
- 4:39Speaker 1: with for MJF. But look, I guess in their mind,
- 4:42Speaker 1: they've got time to kill before they get to whoever
- 4:45Speaker 1: that next big challenger is gonna be, Whether it's Forbidden
- 4:48Speaker 1: Door or whenever that's going to be, I don't know
- 4:52Speaker 1: what they're doing it Forbidden Door. I don't know if
- 4:53Speaker 1: it's going to be the AW champion against the IWGP champion.
- 4:57Speaker 1: I don't fucking know what they're gonna do. And they
- 5:00Speaker 1: didn't give any indication to Night of what they're going
- 5:02Speaker 1: to do either, But Forbidden Door still a month away.
- 5:07Speaker 1: So that was the gist of Dynamite, A show that
- 5:09Speaker 1: was kind of there. It wasn't any great shakes, but
- 5:14Speaker 1: I wouldn't sit here and call it a terrible show,
- 5:17Speaker 1: believe me. I mean, there have been episodes of Dynamite
- 5:18Speaker 1: that were so boring. I just can't get into anything
- 5:20Speaker 1: that's going on. I wouldn't put this in that category,
- 5:24Speaker 1: but you know, coming off the high of double or nothing,
- 5:29Speaker 1: this sort of brought things down back to earth in
- 5:32Speaker 1: a way that I wish there was a little more
- 5:34Speaker 1: excitement on this show. But this is your aw dynamite review.
- 5:37Speaker 1: It is May twenty seventh, twenty twenty six. And do
- 5:41Speaker 1: you realize the significance of May twenty seventh, May twenty seventh,
- 5:48Speaker 1: nineteen ninety six on this very day? How many years
- 5:53Speaker 1: ago is that? Thirty years ago Scott Hall walked out
- 5:57Speaker 1: on WCW Monday Night tro for the first time and
- 5:59Speaker 1: say you want a war, you got it? And the
- 6:04Speaker 1: nWo storyline kicked off thirty fucking years ago. This was
- 6:11Speaker 1: no This was no nWo era episode of Nitro tonight.
- 6:15Speaker 1: But that is a historical fact that I feel like
- 6:20Speaker 1: I would have been out of place not mentioning that
- 6:25Speaker 1: here thirty years I remember watching that live actually and
- 6:31Speaker 1: just wondering to myself, what the fuck is going on here?
- 6:35Speaker 1: But I guess that was the point, right to get
- 6:36Speaker 1: people asking that very question, what the fuck is going
- 6:39Speaker 1: on here? Is this real? Is this not real? Anyway?
- 6:43Speaker 1: This is your Dynamite review. Thank you guys, those of
- 6:45Speaker 1: you who are with me for hanging out again. We
- 6:51Speaker 1: tend to look at Wednesdays as sort of the dead
- 6:53Speaker 1: night because that's just the way it is, sadly, but
- 6:59Speaker 1: those of you who are with me, you guys are
- 7:00Speaker 1: the ogs and I appreciate it. So if you got
- 7:03Speaker 1: a super chat to send in, by all means, go
- 7:05Speaker 1: ahead and do so. It certainly helps me out, it
- 7:07Speaker 1: helps the channel out. You got a question or a comment,
- 7:10Speaker 1: I'll be reading them a little bit later on. Hit
- 7:13Speaker 1: the like button as well. We're going to bring up
- 7:15Speaker 1: the wheel. I don't know if we're going to be
- 7:17Speaker 1: doing this tonight, but we spin the wheel here to
- 7:20Speaker 1: see if we can do our be the Booker segment
- 7:24Speaker 1: later on. You know, many of you are big, big
- 7:28Speaker 1: fans of so let's find out here what the goal is.
- 7:34Speaker 1: Huh oh, good luck with that. We need five hundred
- 7:40Speaker 1: and fifteen likes to do be the Booker. We are
- 7:44Speaker 1: at one seventy. Good luck. That's all I have to say.
- 7:51Speaker 1: We look to SmackDown on Friday. Don't let me forget.
- 7:54Speaker 1: By the way, I have to give you an update
- 7:55Speaker 1: on Smackdan and when I'm going to be going live
- 7:57Speaker 1: on Friday because they're in Barcelona, so we're heading into
- 8:00Speaker 1: this international period where some of the streams are not
- 8:04Speaker 1: going to be airing in their usual times. But they
- 8:09Speaker 1: opened the show tonight with a segment backstage that was
- 8:14Speaker 1: filmed at Double or Nothing on Sunday, and Rene caught
- 8:18Speaker 1: up with will Ospray after his win over Samoa Joe.
- 8:20Speaker 1: I got news on Samoa Jo by the way a
- 8:22Speaker 1: little bit later on, but after his win over Samoa Joe,
- 8:26Speaker 1: saying he was over the moon about moving on in
- 8:29Speaker 1: the Owen Heart Tournament, and so on his way walking
- 8:32Speaker 1: into the trainer's room, he walks into the room and
- 8:36Speaker 1: who does he run into? He runs into Kenny Omega.
- 8:40Speaker 1: Kenny Omega is in there. He's sitting there, He's got
- 8:42Speaker 1: an ice pack on his neck. And this is the
- 8:44Speaker 1: second time now that we have had a backstage segment
- 8:48Speaker 1: a meeting of the minds here between Omega and Osprey.
- 8:53Speaker 1: Hmm makes me wonder. So Omega wanted to address the
- 8:58Speaker 1: elephant in the room, that being the death. He said,
- 9:01Speaker 1: his worry is that Osprey can't trust them because they've
- 9:04Speaker 1: hurt them both before, and he questions, why didn't you
- 9:07Speaker 1: just come to me? Why'd you have to go to
- 9:10Speaker 1: them for If you would have just come to me,
- 9:11Speaker 1: I could have helped you out. And Osbury said, well,
- 9:16Speaker 1: you're never around. Even though you say you feel better
- 9:19Speaker 1: now than you felt in a long time, You're just
- 9:21Speaker 1: never around. And Omega said, look, I can't be there
- 9:24Speaker 1: every week, and Osbury said why. Kenny told him, you know,
- 9:29Speaker 1: he doesn't recover the same way as he used to.
- 9:30Speaker 1: He's not the same guy he used to be. Neither
- 9:32Speaker 1: was Will and Omega also, he mentioned he had his
- 9:36Speaker 1: shot at the World Championship previously and didn't work out.
- 9:40Speaker 1: Omega said, look, I'm not telling you not to trust
- 9:42Speaker 1: the death Riders. I'm just telling you to be careful,
- 9:45Speaker 1: even though that sure sounds like he's telling him exactly
- 9:48Speaker 1: that he's telling him not to trust these people. So
- 9:51Speaker 1: John Moxley walks in and he says, that's good advice, said,
- 9:56Speaker 1: we all have our skeletons, don't we, And he hands
- 9:58Speaker 1: Osbury and ice pack. He tells him the truck is outside,
- 10:02Speaker 1: and then he leaves. So Omega said, look, I'll always
- 10:06Speaker 1: be there for you. And then Osprey told Omega don't
- 10:10Speaker 1: give up on that world title and Omega said, you two.
- 10:15Speaker 1: There is something about seeing Omega, Osprey and Moxley all
- 10:20Speaker 1: together in like a backstage segment like this that I like,
- 10:24Speaker 1: and I think we need to see more of these
- 10:26Speaker 1: types of segments here with some of the bigger names.
- 10:29Speaker 1: This was another good segment with these two, and it's
- 10:32Speaker 1: the first time where I really I sat here as
- 10:34Speaker 1: I'm watching them sitting next to each other and they're
- 10:37Speaker 1: conversing and they're talking about the world title, and I'm thinking,
- 10:41Speaker 1: holy shit, they're actually going to take the title off
- 10:45Speaker 1: MJF before we even get to Wembley, and they may
- 10:50Speaker 1: well go with Kenny Omega against Well Ospray. That may
- 10:53Speaker 1: be our main event this year at all. In that's
- 10:56Speaker 1: the impression I got from this. I didn't even feel
- 10:59Speaker 1: that way after the first time they chatted backstage all
- 11:02Speaker 1: those weeks ago, even though I guess that was the
- 11:04Speaker 1: first seed that was being planted. I just don't see
- 11:08Speaker 1: how anybody could watch this and come away from it
- 11:10Speaker 1: thinking anything else that it feels like they're going to
- 11:15Speaker 1: do another title change and instead of doing MJF Osprey
- 11:20Speaker 1: again at Wembley, because we have seen it once before
- 11:23Speaker 1: at Wembley. It wasn't for the world title that Tony
- 11:26Speaker 1: really wants to do Omega and Osprey, which would still
- 11:29Speaker 1: be a huge match, totally different dynamic because then it's
- 11:33Speaker 1: two baby faces, two of the most popular babyfaces, if
- 11:36Speaker 1: not the two most popular babyfaces in the entire company.
- 11:41Speaker 1: But still a very different dynamic there. But you also
- 11:48Speaker 1: have to think about this. They just announced a brand
- 11:51Speaker 1: new pay per view and this was rumored for a while.
- 11:54Speaker 1: They made it official the other day. I believe it's
- 11:57Speaker 1: a Sunday, July twenty sixth there doing the first ever
- 12:01Speaker 1: aw Redemption pay per view, and they're holding that pay
- 12:05Speaker 1: per view I believe at the Bell Center in Montreal.
- 12:08Speaker 1: So they're going to be in Canada. And now, remember
- 12:11Speaker 1: when Kenny Omega had his title match a few months
- 12:14Speaker 1: ago against MJF that was in Vancouver at Dynasty and
- 12:18Speaker 1: he lost on that show, he failed to win the championship.
- 12:22Speaker 1: And so now it just feels like the pieces are
- 12:24Speaker 1: falling into place for Redemption to be the time that
- 12:31Speaker 1: Kenny Omega finds his redemption in Canada, because they're back
- 12:34Speaker 1: in Canada again and this time he wins the title.
- 12:37Speaker 1: I just can't see them running that match back again
- 12:39Speaker 1: if that's what they end up doing and having Kenny
- 12:41Speaker 1: drop too straight to MJF. I just don't see that happening.
- 12:46Speaker 1: And then you think about the name of the pay
- 12:48Speaker 1: per view, the location of the pay per view, unless
- 12:53Speaker 1: the idea is that they're going to do an Omega
- 12:54Speaker 1: Osbury match on that show, but I don't see what
- 12:56Speaker 1: the point of that would even be. What would the
- 12:58Speaker 1: point of that be be nothing on the line in
- 13:01Speaker 1: that match if you know, Osprey's gonna win the owen
- 13:05Speaker 1: and so he's gonna end up in this sort of
- 13:07Speaker 1: weird lame duck period. I mean to me, if it
- 13:10Speaker 1: just makes far more sense on that Redemption show to
- 13:14Speaker 1: build to an Osprey Moxley match, because that's where the
- 13:17Speaker 1: story is, and if MJF is going to defend that
- 13:20Speaker 1: title against anybody, it sure feels like it's gonna be
- 13:23Speaker 1: Kenny Omega to me, I don't know. I still I
- 13:27Speaker 1: think that's a mistake. I think MJF and Osprey is
- 13:30Speaker 1: the way to go for London. The newly heeled TNT
- 13:37Speaker 1: champion Kevin Knight, he was out to the ring first
- 13:41Speaker 1: up here on this show to address why he did
- 13:44Speaker 1: what he did to Darby Allen on Sunday. And they
- 13:47Speaker 1: were in Philadelphia tonight and the Philly fans, always very respectful,
- 13:52Speaker 1: they were serenading him with chance of fuck you Kevin.
- 13:57Speaker 1: Since Sunday, he says that he's heard one word and
- 14:00Speaker 1: one word only, over and over again. Why why Kevin? Why?
- 14:07Speaker 1: And he said, Listen, I told Darby Allen not to
- 14:08Speaker 1: let the jet down. I love how he talks about
- 14:11Speaker 1: himself in the third person, just like the rock. The
- 14:15Speaker 1: rock says, the jet says he let the jet down.
- 14:20Speaker 1: And not only did he let the jet down, and
- 14:22Speaker 1: he told him not to in that promo on Dynamite
- 14:25Speaker 1: last week or two weeks ago, whenever it was. He goes,
- 14:28Speaker 1: don't let the jet down, don't let all these people down,
- 14:30Speaker 1: and don't let the jet down. And that's exactly what
- 14:32Speaker 1: Darby did. He blew it, he said, just like the
- 14:35Speaker 1: Sixers did against the Knicks, and that got him some megaheat.
- 14:40Speaker 1: Here he says he's not trusting the process anymore. He says,
- 14:45Speaker 1: who's the last man that MJF found himself looking up
- 14:49Speaker 1: at was him? It was Kevin Knight. So he took
- 14:54Speaker 1: matters into his own hands. It should have been him
- 14:56Speaker 1: in the main event on Sunday, but instead he watched
- 14:58Speaker 1: from the bench. She was on the Sidees, does he
- 15:01Speaker 1: look like a bench player to you? He says, is
- 15:04Speaker 1: he not a human highlight? When he's in the ring,
- 15:07Speaker 1: he isn't here to take part in aw He's here
- 15:09Speaker 1: to take over the whole damn company. And he trusted
- 15:12Speaker 1: Darby And when he got there, Darby told him, don't
- 15:15Speaker 1: waste time, don't waste any time. So when he saw
- 15:18Speaker 1: that Darby didn't get the job done, he wasted no
- 15:20Speaker 1: time and he left Darby in a pool of his
- 15:22Speaker 1: own blood. So this brought out his tag team partner, Speedball,
- 15:27Speaker 1: Mike Bailey. So Speedball, I don't even know what he
- 15:34Speaker 1: was wearing. He was wearing some sort of jacket that
- 15:37Speaker 1: he looked like a character out of a Star Wars movie.
- 15:41Speaker 1: He walks to the ring and he hears what Knight
- 15:44Speaker 1: is saying, but he knows him. They work so well
- 15:48Speaker 1: as a team because they want to be the best.
- 15:50Speaker 1: But he says, Knight is impatient. He gets ahead of
- 15:53Speaker 1: himself and he makes mistakes. And what he did to
- 15:55Speaker 1: Darby was a mistake, but we can fix this. He says,
- 15:59Speaker 1: if he apologized eyes and owns up to what he did,
- 16:01Speaker 1: they can make things right. And he offers his hand
- 16:05Speaker 1: and Knight thinks about what he just heard. The crowd
- 16:09Speaker 1: starts chanting, say you're sorry, and Night kind of goes
- 16:13Speaker 1: in for the handshake, but he brushes him his shoulder,
- 16:17Speaker 1: shoulder tackles him, but he he shoulder checks. Said that'd
- 16:20Speaker 1: be kind of funny. He shoulder checked him, and he
- 16:23Speaker 1: made like he was leaving, and then he immediately turned
- 16:26Speaker 1: back around and he blasted Bailey in the head with
- 16:28Speaker 1: the microphone, and he acted like he was going to leave,
- 16:33Speaker 1: but then he came back and then he dropped Bailey
- 16:35Speaker 1: with a rock bottom to close the segment. As far
- 16:40Speaker 1: as his promo goes, there wasn't a whole lot to it.
- 16:43Speaker 1: I think at least we got the explanation. The explanation
- 16:46Speaker 1: at least it goes back to that promo from television
- 16:49Speaker 1: last week. And I've been saying this. I said, you know,
- 16:53Speaker 1: he's giving off very heelish tendencies. And if you are
- 16:57Speaker 1: going to turn any member of jetsby to hear you
- 17:00Speaker 1: turn Kevin Knight, you don't turn Mike Bailey because Speedball's
- 17:03Speaker 1: not a heel. It's not gonna work. So if you
- 17:07Speaker 1: were going to turn one of them, they turn the
- 17:08Speaker 1: right guy. And I think it's a role that he
- 17:11Speaker 1: can grow into. I mean, he's he's not what I
- 17:14Speaker 1: would call like a great promo where he's going out
- 17:16Speaker 1: there and it's like, oh my god, this guy's a
- 17:18Speaker 1: revelation with a live mic in his hand. He's not.
- 17:21Speaker 1: But this wasn't terrible, you know. I think he got
- 17:23Speaker 1: his point across. I think he has a certain confidence
- 17:26Speaker 1: and a certain swagger to him. It's just going to
- 17:28Speaker 1: be a case where you got to just get him
- 17:31Speaker 1: out there in front of a live crab more and more,
- 17:33Speaker 1: and as time goes on and you give him that
- 17:35Speaker 1: exposure on the microphone, you put that mic in his hand,
- 17:38Speaker 1: as long as he has something interesting to talk about.
- 17:41Speaker 1: I think he'll get better and better the more he does.
- 17:43Speaker 1: You just got you got to put him in those situations.
- 17:46Speaker 1: But as far as like this promo itself, it wasn't anything,
- 17:49Speaker 1: you know, blowaway, but a match with Speedball is where
- 17:53Speaker 1: I figure they were going first. You kind of have
- 17:55Speaker 1: to because Darby's taking a break. I think Darby's getting
- 17:59Speaker 1: married in the next few weeks, I believe, so he's
- 18:02Speaker 1: gonna be gone for a while, and to me, that's
- 18:05Speaker 1: that's your London match. I don't know how long Darby
- 18:07Speaker 1: will be out for. You can keep him out for
- 18:09Speaker 1: a little while. He doesn't have to rush back, because
- 18:12Speaker 1: when you think about, you know, London in a couple
- 18:14Speaker 1: of months, and well, what's Darby gonna do on that show. Well,
- 18:17Speaker 1: you've already set up a challenger for him, You've set
- 18:19Speaker 1: up a grudge match between him and Kevin Knight. There's
- 18:22Speaker 1: really no need to do that match before then. So
- 18:26Speaker 1: his Kevin Knight's direction seems pretty clear to me. Anyway,
- 18:30Speaker 1: for the next I would say two or three months,
- 18:34Speaker 1: I think in your mind you can pretty much map
- 18:35Speaker 1: out where they're going with him. Now we have Chris
- 18:39Speaker 1: Jericho against Ricochet, and in this match, everybody is banned
- 18:44Speaker 1: from ringside, so Jericho he later in the match, escaped
- 18:49Speaker 1: the Fireman's carry in the apron, he dropped Ricochet with
- 18:51Speaker 1: a death valley driver. Later on he got the walls
- 18:54Speaker 1: of Jericho applied, Ricochet fought out of it, and he
- 18:57Speaker 1: got Aubrey Edwards distracted at one and without her seeing it,
- 19:03Speaker 1: he gave Jericho a low blow and then he delivered
- 19:07Speaker 1: a Rico Salt and he covered him and he got
- 19:09Speaker 1: a close near fall out of it. So Ricochet went
- 19:12Speaker 1: for a six thirty splash or a six thirty cent
- 19:15Speaker 1: on off the top, crashed and burned. Jericho delivered a
- 19:19Speaker 1: code breaker, Ricochet kicked out. Then came the Judas effect,
- 19:24Speaker 1: and then Jericho hit the Lion Salt and he got
- 19:27Speaker 1: the win. I like how they've really they focused so
- 19:32Speaker 1: heavily on the Lion Salt that they were able to
- 19:34Speaker 1: use it as a believable finish here, so I'll give
- 19:38Speaker 1: him credit for that. When the match was over, Tomaso
- 19:41Speaker 1: Champa ran and he blindsided Jericho and he choked him
- 19:45Speaker 1: with his T shirt. He lowered the knee pad and
- 19:48Speaker 1: he blasted Jericho with a running knee strike. I thought
- 19:52Speaker 1: that Jericho and Ricochet, they had a solid match here.
- 19:54Speaker 1: You know, Ricochet has to slow it down for Jericho.
- 19:57Speaker 1: Jericho can't keep up with somebody like him if he's
- 20:00Speaker 1: working at his normal speed. But it was nice to
- 20:04Speaker 1: have no interference, you know, from the Gates of Agony,
- 20:06Speaker 1: there wasn't too much bullshit. I mean, outside of the
- 20:08Speaker 1: low blow spot, I guess there real there really wasn't
- 20:10Speaker 1: any bullshit in this match, so it was solid. And
- 20:13Speaker 1: now Jericho moves on, I guess from one bald guy
- 20:16Speaker 1: to another. Because now he's moving on to Champa. I
- 20:20Speaker 1: think that could be a fun one. Yeah, I like Champa.
- 20:23Speaker 1: So don't really have a whole lot else to say
- 20:26Speaker 1: about this. Thankfully we have blown this off. The Jericho
- 20:30Speaker 1: Ricochet stuff is now finished. I thought it seemed pretty
- 20:34Speaker 1: finished to me as of Stadium stampede, but now it
- 20:38Speaker 1: is officially done and Jericho can move on. And we
- 20:42Speaker 1: go backstage to androde l Edelo, who was by himself
- 20:48Speaker 1: said that now that the stupid stadium stampede is over,
- 20:53Speaker 1: he can focus on winning the aw World title and
- 20:56Speaker 1: beating MJF. Does does MJF think he's better than a
- 21:00Speaker 1: real Latino man? How? You know? How? You know? Really
- 21:07Speaker 1: leaning into that. But I saw this and I said,
- 21:10Speaker 1: there it is. There's your Arena Mexico match. I've been
- 21:14Speaker 1: saying it for months. I mean you've heard me say
- 21:16Speaker 1: this over and over again. It's the perfect place and
- 21:19Speaker 1: the perfect time to do this match. Grand Slam Mexico. Now,
- 21:23Speaker 1: last year they did Grand Slam Mexico in June, so
- 21:27Speaker 1: this is the only thing that might work against it,
- 21:30Speaker 1: because apparently the Spanish announced team during Dynamite Tonight announced
- 21:36Speaker 1: that Grand Slam Mexico is coming back, but it's coming
- 21:39Speaker 1: back in August. And let's just say that Kenny Omega
- 21:45Speaker 1: does beat MJF to win the aw World title at Redemption,
- 21:49Speaker 1: that would mean MJF wouldn't be the champion come Arena Mexico.
- 21:53Speaker 1: Assuming it will be in Arena Mexico. I can't imagine
- 21:56Speaker 1: they would have it anywhere else. So that's the only
- 21:59Speaker 1: thing actually working against it. Hopefully they don't take the
- 22:02Speaker 1: title off MJF and they can do MJF and Androtti
- 22:06Speaker 1: and I just think in that venue on that show,
- 22:09Speaker 1: and they've been teasing it and kind of hinting at
- 22:11Speaker 1: it now for a few months, it's the perfect place
- 22:13Speaker 1: to do it. Hopefully we get to see it. They
- 22:19Speaker 1: had what they called a Superstation Showcase four Way with
- 22:24Speaker 1: Orange Cassidy, Brian Cage, Leo Rush, and Rush. I don't
- 22:30Speaker 1: care when anybody says, I really don't. I'm glad they're
- 22:35Speaker 1: giving more time to the Leo Rush Blackheart character. It's different.
- 22:40Speaker 1: He's obviously very committed to it. It's very wacky. We
- 22:45Speaker 1: don't have too much stuff like this on this show,
- 22:50Speaker 1: which is probably why it stands out more. And frankly,
- 22:53Speaker 1: I don't need anything more than this. If we had
- 22:55Speaker 1: an army of people like Leo Rush doing this type
- 22:57Speaker 1: of character, it would fucking suck. And if you don't
- 23:00Speaker 1: like it, that's cool. But when he was on Dynamite
- 23:04Speaker 1: initially several weeks ago, I said, well, this is cool
- 23:09Speaker 1: that they're putting I think it was when he wrestled
- 23:10Speaker 1: Brodie King and I said, well, this is cool that
- 23:13Speaker 1: he's actually getting time on Dynamite here, but it's going
- 23:16Speaker 1: to take more than just one appearance. And I do
- 23:18Speaker 1: think it's a character or a gimmick that can get
- 23:19Speaker 1: over in like a baby face way, but you gotta
- 23:24Speaker 1: commit to it, which means you got to give him
- 23:25Speaker 1: television time and not just on Collision every now and
- 23:28Speaker 1: then are in Ring of Honor, but you got to
- 23:30Speaker 1: have him on Dynamite. So he even got a little
- 23:33Speaker 1: cameo during Stadium Stampede at the pay per view, and
- 23:36Speaker 1: then they had him on Dynamite tonight, so I like
- 23:39Speaker 1: what he's doing. I want to see where it goes,
- 23:42Speaker 1: Probably nowhere, but I do think it can get over.
- 23:45Speaker 1: I mean, the fans even tonight, the way they were
- 23:47Speaker 1: reacting to it, were kind of into it. Late in
- 23:50Speaker 1: the match, with Cassidy outside, Rocky Romero and Lance Archer appeared.
- 23:54Speaker 1: Archer ate an orange punch, and then Jake Doyle showed
- 23:57Speaker 1: up totally randomly. Jake Doyle shows up for the first
- 24:00Speaker 1: time in months since what January I believe is when
- 24:03Speaker 1: he tore his bicep and he blindsided Cassidy. Roderick Strong
- 24:08Speaker 1: showed up. He fought off with Doyle, and then Archer
- 24:11Speaker 1: carried Cassidy out with them. So now, all of a sudden,
- 24:14Speaker 1: this four way is now down to a singles match,
- 24:20Speaker 1: and it is down to, of all people, Rushe and Rush.
- 24:26Speaker 1: We got Leo Rush in there, and Rushe doesn't know
- 24:29Speaker 1: quite what to make of this character. So Leo he
- 24:33Speaker 1: managed a springboard stunner and a mister X spear for
- 24:36Speaker 1: an ear fall, and that's all he would get because
- 24:39Speaker 1: Rushe came back with the bulls horns for the wind
- 24:42Speaker 1: not long after this, Ivy, Let's be honest, here. Okay,
- 24:46Speaker 1: once it came down to these two men, you kind
- 24:49Speaker 1: of knew who was going over here, so we would
- 24:54Speaker 1: find out later in the show. Though, as far as
- 24:56Speaker 1: you may look at this match and go, well, why
- 24:58Speaker 1: why did we get this match? What is this superstation showcase?
- 25:02Speaker 1: What was the purpose? What was the point of it? Well,
- 25:05Speaker 1: the point of it was based on what we saw
- 25:07Speaker 1: later in the show. They wanted to set up Rouge
- 25:11Speaker 1: for a World Championship match on the show next week,
- 25:14Speaker 1: so they wanted to give him a big win. That
- 25:16Speaker 1: was the purpose. That was literally the only purpose of
- 25:19Speaker 1: this match here. Meanwhile, you know, you got Jake Doyle
- 25:23Speaker 1: running out there making his return, and it was a
- 25:27Speaker 1: complete afterthought. He just shows up and like immediately fights
- 25:32Speaker 1: off to the back. No fanfare, you know, no, no, nothing.
- 25:36Speaker 1: It's good to see him back. I wasn't even really
- 25:39Speaker 1: thinking about him, I guess I just sort of assumed
- 25:41Speaker 1: he would be out for a little bit longer. But
- 25:43Speaker 1: now he's back. I think that pretty much, outside of Wardlow,
- 25:49Speaker 1: means that all of the injured members of the Kallis
- 25:53Speaker 1: family I believe are back. I believe right, because there
- 25:57Speaker 1: were a bunch of them that were injured, and I
- 25:59Speaker 1: think I think they're all pretty much back except Wardlow,
- 26:03Speaker 1: and even Wardlow supposedly was spotted backstage visiting at Double
- 26:07Speaker 1: or nothing. So I don't know if he's cleared and
- 26:09Speaker 1: waiting for creative or if he's not clear yet. I
- 26:12Speaker 1: don't know. He's been gone a while, though I have
- 26:15Speaker 1: to think he's probably physically ready to come back. Maybe
- 26:19Speaker 1: they just haven't figured out. Oh Josh Alexander. See this
- 26:21Speaker 1: whole fucking family is so big. I missed one, all right,
- 26:28Speaker 1: So Josh Alexander forgot about Josh Alexander. You can't blame
- 26:32Speaker 1: me though there's like twenty seven different members of his family. Well,
- 26:38Speaker 1: maybe Josh Alexandra will be back soon too. When did
- 26:41Speaker 1: he get hurt. It was only a few months ago,
- 26:45Speaker 1: I think. But look, I mean, as far as Jake
- 26:49Speaker 1: Doyle is concerned, I don't know what you do with him.
- 26:51Speaker 1: Because I was starting to dig the tag team, you know,
- 26:54Speaker 1: Davis and Doyle. I said, Okay, that's a solid addition
- 26:58Speaker 1: to the tag team scene. And then Davis or Doyle
- 27:01Speaker 1: rather got hurt, and Davis has actually gotten a singles push,
- 27:05Speaker 1: and now he's the national champion. He's in the O
- 27:08Speaker 1: in he's actually doing stuff, so I wouldn't just throw
- 27:12Speaker 1: him back into a tag team just yet. But if
- 27:16Speaker 1: you can't find something meaningful for someone like Jake Doyle
- 27:19Speaker 1: to do, which I mean I said that about TNA,
- 27:24Speaker 1: you can't find something for a guy like that to do,
- 27:27Speaker 1: and you're doing something wrong. I'm sure they could find
- 27:30Speaker 1: something for him to do, and then eventually if they
- 27:32Speaker 1: want to put Davis and Doyle back together, that's fine,
- 27:34Speaker 1: But Davis has his own thing going on right now.
- 27:37Speaker 1: I wouldn't fuck with that. Renee was standing by backstage
- 27:42Speaker 1: waiting for a word with MJF who walked in. Was
- 27:46Speaker 1: literally dragging the aw World title across the floor and
- 27:51Speaker 1: then he just dropped it on the floor because he
- 27:55Speaker 1: has his triple B back over his shoulder. Kevin Knight
- 27:59Speaker 1: walked in and thanked him for what he did on Sunday.
- 28:01Speaker 1: He knows, he knows why he did it because he
- 28:05Speaker 1: wanted to show respect to the biggest star in the
- 28:07Speaker 1: entire company. He goes that meant a lot to him
- 28:10Speaker 1: and he thinks he's got a bright future ahead of him.
- 28:14Speaker 1: So Knight told him, look, I didn't do it for you.
- 28:16Speaker 1: I did it because Darby blew an opportunity that belonged
- 28:19Speaker 1: to me, and one day I will beat you for
- 28:22Speaker 1: that world title. And MJF told him, goals are good,
- 28:28Speaker 1: said see you around. So MJF exited and then Knight
- 28:33Speaker 1: turned around. He ran into Kyle o'ri Kyler Riley. He
- 28:36Speaker 1: ran into Kyle Fletcher. I thought, I'm hallucinating here. It's
- 28:41Speaker 1: the one hundred and three degree fever. So he turns around.
- 28:44Speaker 1: Then he runs into Kyle Fletcher, who told him nice
- 28:47Speaker 1: Belchie got there. keV don Callus walked in. He asked him,
- 28:51Speaker 1: what's that nickname that you've got for yourself? And Knight says,
- 28:56Speaker 1: Jet two Belts, and Kallus told him Jet two Belts,
- 29:00Speaker 1: if you ever want to get serious about that, you
- 29:02Speaker 1: know who to talk to. Me and Kyler are around,
- 29:05Speaker 1: and off they went. Now Renee, after a break, was
- 29:09Speaker 1: backstage with the brawling Birds Jamie Hayter and Alex Windsor.
- 29:14Speaker 1: Hayter says that she's got to take Techla's She had
- 29:17Speaker 1: the chance to take Techla's head off on Sunday, Saturday, Sunday, Sunday,
- 29:26Speaker 1: I don't know what day of the week it is.
- 29:28Speaker 1: So she's happy about that. She's not happy that she
- 29:30Speaker 1: didn't win the world title, but she at least got
- 29:31Speaker 1: to take Techla's head off, and in due time she
- 29:34Speaker 1: will get her shot again. So Alex Windsor then piped up.
- 29:38Speaker 1: She said that her heart goes out to Willow Nightingale,
- 29:40Speaker 1: who was forced to pull out of the Owen with
- 29:42Speaker 1: an injury, and she had a forfeit her TBS championship
- 29:45Speaker 1: and she was really looking forward to wrestling her. She
- 29:49Speaker 1: says that the next time, when you're healthy, you and
- 29:53Speaker 1: me will throw down and we'll have a match. Now,
- 29:57Speaker 1: Renee asked her, you know you're going to be facing
- 29:58Speaker 1: off with a wild card in the tournament instead. How
- 30:02Speaker 1: do you prepare for something like that? And Windsor says
- 30:06Speaker 1: that she grew up getting the piss beaten out of
- 30:08Speaker 1: her on a daily basis, which sounds horrible. So she's
- 30:11Speaker 1: prepared herself for everything, and she isn't walking this path
- 30:14Speaker 1: alone because her Billie, her Billy, is also going for
- 30:19Speaker 1: the world title in the Owen, so the both of
- 30:23Speaker 1: them are gonna win, and the two of them are
- 30:24Speaker 1: both gonna go to Wembley in August and win the
- 30:27Speaker 1: world Championship. I hope not. I hope that's not the plan.
- 30:33Speaker 1: She hopes the wild card has skin in the game, though,
- 30:36Speaker 1: and then Hater pipes up again and says, one way
- 30:39Speaker 1: or another, the Birds will end up on top. Fuck
- 30:44Speaker 1: the birds. I hate the birds. I don't hate these two,
- 30:46Speaker 1: but I hate the Birds, especially on the van Wick.
- 30:50Speaker 1: Fuck them. So that wildcard match in the Owen is
- 30:55Speaker 1: going to be taking place on Dynamite next week, in
- 30:58Speaker 1: case you were wondering, and go when that match is
- 31:01Speaker 1: going to be happening. MJF was up next, the brand
- 31:06Speaker 1: new AW World Champion for a third time, by the way.
- 31:12Speaker 1: So he comes out like fucking King Mabel or the
- 31:16Speaker 1: macho King Randy Savage. He's on his throne. He's got
- 31:19Speaker 1: four ja brons who are carrying the throne underneath him,
- 31:23Speaker 1: and they carry him to the ramp. They have the
- 31:26Speaker 1: steps there, so he steps off and he is literally
- 31:31Speaker 1: dragging the It's really it's Darby's world title. It's the
- 31:35Speaker 1: regular AW World title with the black strap, and he
- 31:39Speaker 1: is dragging it down to the ring. He goes up
- 31:41Speaker 1: on the apron. There's a garbage can down below, and
- 31:45Speaker 1: he drops the title into the garbage can. So this
- 31:48Speaker 1: really does feel like Nitro from nineteen ninety six, although
- 31:52Speaker 1: I think that happened in ninety five. Or we're going
- 31:57Speaker 1: old school here. So MJF says that if you're looking
- 32:02Speaker 1: for Darby Allen, he's hanging his head in shame after
- 32:05Speaker 1: being beaten for the dreaded you know, the world Championship
- 32:10Speaker 1: by the dreaded headlocked takeover. He's a three time champion
- 32:14Speaker 1: professional wrestling. He says, it has been around since the
- 32:16Speaker 1: eighteen hundreds, and since then only three men have been
- 32:19Speaker 1: world champion three times before the age of thirty. And
- 32:23Speaker 1: he hoped that these stupid schmucks appreciate just how great
- 32:26Speaker 1: he is. Here in real time, Mark Briscoe walks down
- 32:31Speaker 1: to the ring and he gets inside. He goes Friedman says,
- 32:38Speaker 1: looking at Jews standing in this city, or a stranger
- 32:40Speaker 1: in a strange place says, See, they're in Philly, and
- 32:45Speaker 1: the people here, they're hard nosed, they're grinders. Some of
- 32:48Speaker 1: the toughest people in the world live here, and you
- 32:50Speaker 1: stick out like a sore thumb. Said, you're so self absorbed.
- 32:54Speaker 1: You tell us that we aren't on your level and
- 32:56Speaker 1: that you're better than us and you believe it. Well, well,
- 33:00Speaker 1: he says that it wasn't that long ago that I
- 33:02Speaker 1: pind your ass in the middle of this ring. Therefore,
- 33:06Speaker 1: he didn't want to beat around the bush. He wants
- 33:08Speaker 1: a shot at the AW World Championship, and that is true.
- 33:11Speaker 1: By the way tables and tacks. Last year he did
- 33:14Speaker 1: beat him. MJF says no. He says AAW is not
- 33:18Speaker 1: just the sport. He says, it's business, and logistically speaking,
- 33:23Speaker 1: it was bad enough that an emo freak like Darby
- 33:26Speaker 1: held this belt. You think that somebody like you should
- 33:29Speaker 1: be sniffing this title. He's doing Mark a favor because
- 33:32Speaker 1: there are levels to this shit, and unfortunately for you, you
- 33:35Speaker 1: aren't on the level of the devil. So he goes
- 33:38Speaker 1: to leave the ring and he's heading up the ramp.
- 33:41Speaker 1: He's backing up the ramp. So I'm waiting for somebody
- 33:43Speaker 1: to come out, and sure enough, here comes Rouche. So
- 33:49Speaker 1: he comes out and he gets up in mjf's face
- 33:52Speaker 1: and he goes, you wanted to be a fighting champion.
- 33:55Speaker 1: He goes, it's too funny. He's the chicken farmer, and
- 33:58Speaker 1: he's pointing at Brisco in the ring. You're a chicken
- 34:01Speaker 1: shit because I faced you before and I almost beat you,
- 34:07Speaker 1: and now I want your title because when you mess
- 34:09Speaker 1: with the bull, you get the herns. So MJF says
- 34:15Speaker 1: that Ruche thinks he's funny because he cracks jokes and
- 34:17Speaker 1: he's bilingual. So listen up, Senor. You have good hair,
- 34:21Speaker 1: you have a good body, you're on a wind streak,
- 34:23Speaker 1: and you have a marketable catchphrase. Do you want a
- 34:27Speaker 1: shot tonight? He's teasing that he's gonna give him a
- 34:29Speaker 1: title shot tonight, and he's ready for it. He's all
- 34:34Speaker 1: psyched up, and MJF goes, psych goes, he'll face him
- 34:39Speaker 1: next week for the World Championship. He not here in
- 34:42Speaker 1: Philly and that was the gist of the promo there,
- 34:45Speaker 1: and so they have set up a championship match now
- 34:48Speaker 1: for next week. He'll be defending against Ruge. We know
- 34:51Speaker 1: that we are and we know that he's gonna be
- 34:53Speaker 1: defending against Brisco right, it's only a matter of when.
- 34:57Speaker 1: So that match is coming up. And while they're very talented,
- 35:02Speaker 1: and it's nice to see Rush, I've said this about
- 35:04Speaker 1: Leah Rush. It's nice to see Rush getting more FaceTime
- 35:07Speaker 1: on Dynamite or in the past, some of these guys
- 35:09Speaker 1: they couldn't buy airtime on this show. I don't have
- 35:12Speaker 1: an issue with that. I don't have an issue with
- 35:14Speaker 1: cycling in people who we wouldn't ordinarily see on Dynamite.
- 35:17Speaker 1: But they just haven't built them up well enough for
- 35:19Speaker 1: me to sit here and get all excited about the
- 35:21Speaker 1: fact that they're wrestling for a world championship. I can't.
- 35:25Speaker 1: They're not the most attractive opponents to be throwing in
- 35:29Speaker 1: there with themjf right, But if they want to do
- 35:32Speaker 1: these matches, I'm sure the matches themselves will be very good,
- 35:36Speaker 1: and I'm looking forward to seeing that at least, But
- 35:41Speaker 1: it just feels like, you know, we're clearly buying time
- 35:43Speaker 1: until we find out who that next big challenger is
- 35:46Speaker 1: going to be, and who knows, maybe it is Kenny
- 35:48Speaker 1: Ome get Redemption at the end of July, and we're
- 35:50Speaker 1: just going to be doing this between now and then
- 35:53Speaker 1: where we got roush next week, and then Mark Briscow
- 35:56Speaker 1: will come after that, and then somebody else will step
- 35:58Speaker 1: up and say that they want to crack at the title.
- 36:01Speaker 1: And I talked about this at the beginning of the year,
- 36:03Speaker 1: how refreshing it was that we had all of these
- 36:06Speaker 1: potential challengers lined up for MJF at the time, Right,
- 36:10Speaker 1: we had Swerved, and you had Hangman, you had Kenny,
- 36:12Speaker 1: and you had brody King, and you had Andrade was
- 36:15Speaker 1: starting to poke his head above ground and talk about
- 36:18Speaker 1: wanting a shot at the world title. And it's like
- 36:21Speaker 1: the world title scene felt invigorated in this company. So
- 36:26Speaker 1: I don't have an issue with people wanting to go
- 36:28Speaker 1: after the champion. They should every fucking person on that
- 36:30Speaker 1: roster should want a shot at the aw world title.
- 36:34Speaker 1: But coming out of the pay per view, you know,
- 36:39Speaker 1: what do you have MJF doing. He's having a celebration. Okay, well, okay,
- 36:43Speaker 1: sure we've seen this before, and you set up potentially
- 36:47Speaker 1: Mark Brisco and Rouche as title challengers for MJF. Eh,
- 36:53Speaker 1: all right, not the most exciting thing in the world now,
- 36:59Speaker 1: as far as him defending his championship, just kind of
- 37:02Speaker 1: the more broad idea that, oh, we have MJF wrestling
- 37:05Speaker 1: on TV and defending his title. Yeah. It's funny to
- 37:08Speaker 1: me when I hear people, you know, bitching about this,
- 37:11Speaker 1: because it wasn't all that long ago that at least
- 37:17Speaker 1: some of these same people might be found bitching about
- 37:20Speaker 1: the fact that we never get to see MJF wrestle
- 37:23Speaker 1: on TV. It was actually very rare, and it's still
- 37:25Speaker 1: somewhat rare, but it was even rareer back then that
- 37:29Speaker 1: you would see MJF even wrestling on television, and that
- 37:33Speaker 1: was by design, you know, they wanted to keep him
- 37:36Speaker 1: as almost like a special attraction. But if you look
- 37:39Speaker 1: at the number of matches that he was having back then,
- 37:41Speaker 1: wasn't very many of them. It would be the equivalent
- 37:44Speaker 1: of like one of these part time big names that
- 37:46Speaker 1: kind of come in for a cup of coffee in
- 37:48Speaker 1: WWE and then go away and come back months later.
- 37:51Speaker 1: It's the closest thing probably that you know, aw had
- 37:54Speaker 1: to to something like that at the time. So being
- 37:58Speaker 1: able to watch mja I've wrestled more often on television
- 38:01Speaker 1: isn't something that I'm against. I'm all for it. It
- 38:04Speaker 1: just so happens that he's the world champion. So yes,
- 38:06Speaker 1: he's going to be defending the world title. I don't
- 38:08Speaker 1: think he's going to be defending it every week. He's
- 38:11Speaker 1: not Darby Allen that it wouldn't even make sense. Why
- 38:14Speaker 1: would he want to defend the world title every week.
- 38:17Speaker 1: But if they're going to have him defend it next
- 38:19Speaker 1: week and then two or three weeks later he's going
- 38:21Speaker 1: to have another title defense, great, what's so bad about that?
- 38:26Speaker 1: As long as they're reasonably credible challengers. This is not
- 38:31Speaker 1: an open challenge where fucking Ace Austen is going to
- 38:34Speaker 1: come out and challenge for the aw World Championship or
- 38:38Speaker 1: Leo Rush. And again I like the gimmick, but Leo
- 38:41Speaker 1: Rush is not going to do a fucking creature crawl
- 38:44Speaker 1: down to the ring and challenge for the World Championship.
- 38:46Speaker 1: That's not what we're talking about here. If they want
- 38:49Speaker 1: to do MJF and Mark Briscoe, Mark brisco at least
- 38:52Speaker 1: has a case to be made because he beat him
- 38:54Speaker 1: in a pay per view match last year. I think
- 38:57Speaker 1: that was probably the last time the two of them
- 38:58Speaker 1: wrestled was Tables in tact and brisco beat him. You
- 39:01Speaker 1: want to get an MJF Mark Briscow title match out
- 39:03Speaker 1: of it, that's fine. Briscoe has credibility that certain other
- 39:07Speaker 1: people on the roster may not have, so that's the
- 39:09Speaker 1: only thing. You want to make sure that you're putting
- 39:10Speaker 1: him in there with reasonably big names and credible challengers,
- 39:16Speaker 1: and then I don't have an issue with it because
- 39:19Speaker 1: it helps make the shows a little more interesting and
- 39:21Speaker 1: exciting when you know you got a world title match
- 39:23Speaker 1: lined up CM Punk. Look at cmpunk Earlier this year
- 39:28Speaker 1: we had something similar with Punk Were Punk. And this
- 39:31Speaker 1: is why Raw really feels like it took a bit
- 39:33Speaker 1: of a nose dive after WrestleMania because Punk hasn't been around.
- 39:37Speaker 1: Punk was the world champion. We have Punk on television
- 39:40Speaker 1: in the span. I think of a month, four or
- 39:43Speaker 1: five weeks defending the championship on television against bron Breaker,
- 39:49Speaker 1: against aj Styles, against Finn Balor, and it was exciting
- 39:54Speaker 1: and they had really good matches, but it added a
- 39:57Speaker 1: certain excitement that the show would not have otherwise had.
- 40:01Speaker 1: So I don't object to it here. Yeah, it's a
- 40:04Speaker 1: little bit different than when Darby was doing because he
- 40:06Speaker 1: was defending that every fucking week, and I don't think
- 40:09Speaker 1: that's what we're gonna get here. So I don't mind
- 40:12Speaker 1: seeing MJ have defend the title on these shows. And
- 40:15Speaker 1: if he was in some of these same people would
- 40:17Speaker 1: be bitching about the fact that oh we, oh, we
- 40:18Speaker 1: don't get any matches that have meaning or value or
- 40:21Speaker 1: big matches on these shows. Yeah, well you're gonna get
- 40:24Speaker 1: the fucking world champion defending his title. I don't get
- 40:26Speaker 1: no bigger than that, Believe me. I'm looking on some
- 40:29Speaker 1: of these shows for some real excitement too, and I'll
- 40:32Speaker 1: take it where I can get it, So I don't
- 40:34Speaker 1: object to any of that. Now, after Rushan Androde or
- 40:39Speaker 1: Rushan de Briscoe, I think it should be Androde. It's
- 40:43Speaker 1: just a matter of when they want to do that match,
- 40:46Speaker 1: and then from there we'll find out if Kenny is
- 40:48Speaker 1: the direction. It sure felt that way from the opening
- 40:52Speaker 1: segment on the show that Kenny is going to get
- 40:54Speaker 1: a rematch. He gets that rematch, we're gonna have a
- 40:56Speaker 1: new champion, and then the bigger question becomes, what the
- 40:59Speaker 1: hell is in JM do in London if he's not
- 41:02Speaker 1: in the main event. I don't know. They had a
- 41:08Speaker 1: vignette here where they showed the Jurassic Express bus, which,
- 41:13Speaker 1: by the way, somebody in Philly posted a photo on
- 41:16Speaker 1: their social media. They were driving down whatever the highway
- 41:20Speaker 1: or whatever road it was, and I guess they were
- 41:24Speaker 1: going to the show and the bus was on the
- 41:28Speaker 1: road like he took a picture of the bus. He
- 41:31Speaker 1: just so happened to be in the same location as
- 41:33Speaker 1: the bus, which I just thought was kind of funny,
- 41:34Speaker 1: says fucking Jurassic Express on the front of it. So
- 41:37Speaker 1: they had a vignette here where Jack Perry was cutting
- 41:41Speaker 1: a promo on Mark Davis for his main event match
- 41:43Speaker 1: tonight and Lucasaurus was driving the bus. So then he
- 41:50Speaker 1: stops the bus and he opens the door and Lucasaurus
- 41:53Speaker 1: points to something and Perry looks outside and he goes, oh, no, no, no, don't.
- 41:58Speaker 1: He goes, I got a match tonight, and lucas Stars
- 42:01Speaker 1: is like nope. And so what it was is he
- 42:03Speaker 1: wanted him to run the steps to the Rocky Statue.
- 42:07Speaker 1: So we had a training vignette and he was running
- 42:10Speaker 1: the steps to the Rocky Statue. He's jogging around the
- 42:15Speaker 1: streets of Philadelphia with the bus driving very slowly behind
- 42:19Speaker 1: him and honking him. He's drinking raw eggs. It's like
- 42:25Speaker 1: a training vignette. It's supposed to be funny. We had
- 42:28Speaker 1: another quarterfinal match in the owen Hart Tournament, the men's
- 42:31Speaker 1: owen Heart Tournament, and this one was with Brodie King
- 42:36Speaker 1: and Claudio Castignoli. The winner would advance to wrestle swer
- 42:40Speaker 1: of Strickland in the next round because he beat Bendido
- 42:43Speaker 1: on Sunday. Renee was ringside before the match, and she
- 42:46Speaker 1: mentioned that both men had split wins with each other
- 42:49Speaker 1: in the Continental Classic in twenty twenty three in twenty
- 42:53Speaker 1: twenty four, so this was effectively the rubber match here.
- 42:57Speaker 1: And the majority of this it was really just like
- 42:59Speaker 1: forearms and strikes and uppercuts. They were just kind of
- 43:03Speaker 1: beating the hell out of each other, and they seemed
- 43:04Speaker 1: to be losing steam as we got closer to the
- 43:08Speaker 1: end of the match here. But what we got I
- 43:09Speaker 1: thought was solid. Brody wanted a Gonzel bomb. Claudio slid out,
- 43:14Speaker 1: he tried a springboard, he got forearmed out of mid air,
- 43:18Speaker 1: and Brody charged into a pop up uppercut, stayed vertical
- 43:22Speaker 1: and then landed a huge lariat and he collapsed on
- 43:25Speaker 1: top of Claudio and he got the win. So we
- 43:28Speaker 1: are getting Brody King and Swerve Strickland in a rematch
- 43:32Speaker 1: from Revolution which Swerve won, and he's going to win
- 43:36Speaker 1: again because we're getting it in the semi finals. The
- 43:39Speaker 1: winner of that match would then go on to the
- 43:41Speaker 1: finals of the Owen, although they I don't believe they
- 43:43Speaker 1: announced when that match is taking place, so it might
- 43:46Speaker 1: not be next week. But after this, we had the
- 43:50Speaker 1: arrival of the brand new aw Tag Team Champions, Adam
- 43:54Speaker 1: Copeland and Christian Cage. After an excellent match with FTR,
- 43:58Speaker 1: a excellent opener on that double or Nothing card, and
- 44:04Speaker 1: Cage told the crowd to sit down and shut up.
- 44:09Speaker 1: So Cope jumped in and goes, who whoa whoa wha
- 44:11Speaker 1: who No, no, no, you can't say that you listening
- 44:16Speaker 1: to yourself, and Christians said, what it wasn't like I
- 44:20Speaker 1: banged their mothers. They thought about it, goes, well, actually,
- 44:24Speaker 1: maybe maybe I did, and Copeland said, well, you know,
- 44:27Speaker 1: the nineties were pretty crazy time. So Cage then called
- 44:33Speaker 1: FTR the toughest tag team they've ever shared the ring with,
- 44:36Speaker 1: as Bubba Ray Dudley wept from his office or wherever
- 44:42Speaker 1: he watches these shows. So he basically put over FTR
- 44:47Speaker 1: and said you're top guys, but you're not tippy top guys,
- 44:50Speaker 1: and he held up the tag team title. So Copeland
- 44:53Speaker 1: said that they would do something that they haven't done
- 44:55Speaker 1: in twenty five years, and then offered to do a
- 44:58Speaker 1: five second pose and Christian initially said, now now I'm
- 45:03Speaker 1: not doing it, and he said, they don't even do
- 45:07Speaker 1: flash photography anymore, which made me, and in that moment,
- 45:10Speaker 1: it made me feel very sad because it's true, the
- 45:13Speaker 1: passage of time. It's amazing how like that used to
- 45:16Speaker 1: be a thing and now it's not a thing anymore.
- 45:19Speaker 1: It's actually one of the things that I do miss
- 45:21Speaker 1: when I go back and I watch even stuff from
- 45:23Speaker 1: like the Ruthless Aggression era, the Attitude era. You don't
- 45:25Speaker 1: even have to go back to the Golden era, the
- 45:27Speaker 1: nWo era, the flash bulbs, like when there was a
- 45:31Speaker 1: big moment or a big finish in a wrestling match,
- 45:34Speaker 1: or a big return or something, all the flash bulbs
- 45:37Speaker 1: going off right, all the flashes from all the cameras,
- 45:41Speaker 1: and you don't have that anymore because who the fuck
- 45:43Speaker 1: uses flash photography. Everyone's got their fucking phone and you
- 45:47Speaker 1: don't need your flash on. But it made me think, like, man,
- 45:50Speaker 1: you know what that is something that is missing. It
- 45:53Speaker 1: just made those moments feel that much more epic. So
- 45:57Speaker 1: Cope goes, well, as a matter of fact, he goes,
- 46:02Speaker 1: that's not entirely true. So he rolls outside the ring,
- 46:06Speaker 1: and he goes under and he pulls out a sack
- 46:08Speaker 1: of some kind and he said, twenty years ago, I
- 46:11Speaker 1: went to the store and I bought these just for
- 46:13Speaker 1: this very scenario. And he emptied it out and it
- 46:16Speaker 1: was a bag full of disposable cameras. Another relic from
- 46:21Speaker 1: the past. I purchased many a disposable camera, many many
- 46:27Speaker 1: wrestling events. In fact, I took my disposable camera. And
- 46:32Speaker 1: he starts handing them out to people in the crowd,
- 46:34Speaker 1: and he's looking specifically for people under the age of
- 46:36Speaker 1: twenty five, trying to explain to them how it works.
- 46:39Speaker 1: You gotta do this, You got the knob over here,
- 46:42Speaker 1: got to turn the flash on. And he's running around,
- 46:45Speaker 1: he's gassing himself out, handing out disposable cameras. So eventually
- 46:49Speaker 1: he gets back in the ring and before they could
- 46:51Speaker 1: take the five second pose, they get attacked from behind.
- 46:54Speaker 1: And who is it who attacks them from behind? It
- 46:58Speaker 1: is the Dogs Wolf Wolf Bow Wow, David Finley and
- 47:04Speaker 1: Clark Connors. See if you remember when they debuted in
- 47:10Speaker 1: this company, the horrific way that they debuted the Dogs,
- 47:13Speaker 1: Is it any wonder how I can't bring myself to
- 47:16Speaker 1: really give much of a shit about this because they've
- 47:18Speaker 1: just been booked so fucking weak. Who really cares? But
- 47:24Speaker 1: I guess it's a first team for them to beat,
- 47:26Speaker 1: so what the fuck, right? So they get attacked from
- 47:28Speaker 1: behind by the dogs and Copeland gets knocked out with
- 47:31Speaker 1: a Shaley shot. They take Christian outside and now Christian
- 47:35Speaker 1: still has the cast I guess or some sort of
- 47:39Speaker 1: brace from the injury that they were selling to his wrist.
- 47:43Speaker 1: He still has that on, and Connors is holding the
- 47:48Speaker 1: arm down with the brace on it. He's holding it,
- 47:49Speaker 1: I think against the ring steps, and David Finley has
- 47:53Speaker 1: the shillalely and he swings it at the arm and
- 47:57Speaker 1: he misses on purpose. He hit the a instead of
- 48:00Speaker 1: hitting the art because he didn't want to hurt the guy.
- 48:02Speaker 1: But it looked fucking It looked fucking horrendous. It was
- 48:05Speaker 1: every bit as bad as the one man Concerto that
- 48:08Speaker 1: Austin Theory gave to Angelo Dawkins on Raw this past Monday.
- 48:13Speaker 1: As if the camera angle wasn't bad enough on that one,
- 48:17Speaker 1: this was just as bad. And so then they put
- 48:21Speaker 1: Cage's arm underneath the ring steps and Clark Connors from
- 48:25Speaker 1: the apron, dove off the apron, onto the steps. Christian
- 48:29Speaker 1: is selling the shit out of this. He's writhing around,
- 48:31Speaker 1: just an agony, he's screaming. Connors puts him back in
- 48:34Speaker 1: the ring, Finley blasts Christian in the head with the
- 48:37Speaker 1: chilly and then they pick up Copeland one last time
- 48:41Speaker 1: to take a spear, and so the Tag Team champions
- 48:46Speaker 1: are left laying and then Finley and Connors do the
- 48:50Speaker 1: five second pos and you saw some of the flashes
- 48:53Speaker 1: from the crowd. If you wanted to see flash photography,
- 48:56Speaker 1: this is your segment here because you actually got to
- 48:58Speaker 1: see it here at the very end. Look, I mean
- 49:03Speaker 1: the Dogs is the first Challengers whatever I guess. I mean, eh,
- 49:10Speaker 1: they haven't exactly been booked strong, so you'll have to
- 49:12Speaker 1: excuse me if I'm not terribly excited about this. I
- 49:16Speaker 1: think maybe the weirder part of the whole thing is
- 49:20Speaker 1: that this just felt like a write off, like they
- 49:23Speaker 1: wrote Christian off television. There's no way they didn't just
- 49:25Speaker 1: write Christian off television for at least a few weeks,
- 49:29Speaker 1: and they had just put the tag Team titles on
- 49:31Speaker 1: these guys, So if they're writing them off, I'm not
- 49:35Speaker 1: really sure what that means as far as when we
- 49:37Speaker 1: are going to see them next here on the show,
- 49:40Speaker 1: I have no idea. I don't know. Maybe they're going
- 49:44Speaker 1: to take a break for a few weeks and because
- 49:46Speaker 1: Cope and Christians should not be depending those titles weekly
- 49:49Speaker 1: on television or I'm not advocating for that, but this
- 49:52Speaker 1: just felt like a write off to me. And they
- 49:55Speaker 1: just won the belts, so that was a little strange.
- 50:00Speaker 1: Prince Naa was backstage with Swerve Strickland saying that he's
- 50:04Speaker 1: taking the Owen and then he is heading back to
- 50:06Speaker 1: the main event at Wembley Stadium to win back the
- 50:09Speaker 1: AW World Championship. Hey heavy, thank you. Yeah, I heard
- 50:17Speaker 1: part of Ariel Show today, the Ariel Hilwane Show, and
- 50:22Speaker 1: always appreciate the love that those guys send my way.
- 50:26Speaker 1: They were talking about AW as a matter of fact,
- 50:29Speaker 1: So yes, I did hear that. Thank you. I appreciate it. It
- 50:32Speaker 1: is appointment listening every single week The Uncrowned Wrestling Show,
- 50:35Speaker 1: brand new episode up right now. But anyway, so Swerve
- 50:40Speaker 1: is talking about how you know he's going back to
- 50:42Speaker 1: the main event at Wembley Stadium and he's going to
- 50:45Speaker 1: get back his aw world title, and he took credit
- 50:48Speaker 1: for brody King, who he will now be facing in
- 50:51Speaker 1: the next round. He took credit for him even breaking
- 50:53Speaker 1: into the business and said he was going to do
- 50:55Speaker 1: him worse than he did Bandido. On Sunday, he said conflict,
- 51:00Speaker 1: he ates cash and war makes money, and he plans
- 51:02Speaker 1: on making a lot of money with brody King. There
- 51:08Speaker 1: was also a I don't think this aired anywhere, but
- 51:11Speaker 1: I saw it on social media, and it was a
- 51:14Speaker 1: very brief video of Kevin Knight walking back might might
- 51:20Speaker 1: have been filmed earlier tonight, just walking backstage, and he
- 51:24Speaker 1: walks right past Swerve. Swerve is leaned up against the wall,
- 51:28Speaker 1: and Swerve looks at him, and he looks at Swerve.
- 51:31Speaker 1: Swerve almost flashes like a like a grin at him,
- 51:35Speaker 1: and Night keeps walking. Because there's been something between those two.
- 51:39Speaker 1: I don't know if that's going to manifest into something
- 51:41Speaker 1: with them on television where they're going to, you know,
- 51:43Speaker 1: form some sort of alliance or not. But it was
- 51:46Speaker 1: almost like, Okay, now you're doing what needs to be done,
- 51:51Speaker 1: like that's sort of not of respect from Swerve, So
- 51:54Speaker 1: there could be something there. I'm just saying there could
- 51:56Speaker 1: be something there with those two had now this right here.
- 52:01Speaker 1: I don't know why this was on Dynamite. This should
- 52:03Speaker 1: have been on the third hour. This should have been
- 52:05Speaker 1: on Collision tonight. This had no business being on this show.
- 52:09Speaker 1: We had TJ and a Jay in Tykanti. They came
- 52:13Speaker 1: out for a match against Ava Everett and Ali Catch
- 52:16Speaker 1: And I will say this, it was nice to see
- 52:18Speaker 1: Ali getting some FaceTime on aw television. I mean, she's
- 52:23Speaker 1: been a veteran on the independent scene for I mean,
- 52:26Speaker 1: my god, a long time, and so to see her
- 52:30Speaker 1: on TV was pretty cool. Even though she didn't really
- 52:32Speaker 1: do much of anything here. She didn't have a chance
- 52:34Speaker 1: because this thing went. If it went a minute, I
- 52:37Speaker 1: would be pretty much you know, like, yeah, that sounds
- 52:41Speaker 1: about right. Sixty seconds, sixty five seconds, somewhere in that range.
- 52:45Speaker 1: Just sounds about right. Ali and Ava they were finished
- 52:48Speaker 1: off in short order. They're trying to establish TJ as
- 52:53Speaker 1: contenders for Meghan Bain and for Lena Cross. They did
- 52:58Speaker 1: have something on the third hour of Collision that I
- 53:01Speaker 1: noticed before I went live here where they were off camera.
- 53:05Speaker 1: They were attacked in the back by the women's tag
- 53:08Speaker 1: team champions, Riveting stuff. I don't know why this had
- 53:11Speaker 1: to be on Dynamite, this Dynamite Show, because I'm about
- 53:15Speaker 1: to get into the main event here in a second.
- 53:17Speaker 1: This Dynamite Show went like almost fifteen minutes overtime, to
- 53:21Speaker 1: the point where as soon as the match was over,
- 53:23Speaker 1: they literally they just like within five seconds, they rushed
- 53:26Speaker 1: off the air. Did this really need to be on
- 53:29Speaker 1: this show? We go backstage Speedball. Mike Bailey is very angry.
- 53:38Speaker 1: He's very angry because he offered his hand to Kevin
- 53:41Speaker 1: Knight and he attacked him instead. He tried to reason
- 53:44Speaker 1: with him, but now the time for reasoning is over,
- 53:48Speaker 1: says he wants him in the ring one on one.
- 53:51Speaker 1: We were never told when that match would be taking place,
- 53:53Speaker 1: and that's the natural outgrowth of him doing what he
- 53:57Speaker 1: did at the pay per view, right, I mean, Speedball's
- 53:59Speaker 1: got to be about it. He turns on Speedball, we
- 54:02Speaker 1: get a match between the two former members of Jet Speed.
- 54:05Speaker 1: I mean this is just booking one oh one, so
- 54:07Speaker 1: that's not a shock. But we just don't know when
- 54:09Speaker 1: the match is going to be taking place. I don't know, like,
- 54:12Speaker 1: for example, like Forbidden Doors on June twenty eighth, I
- 54:16Speaker 1: don't think you can wait that long. We'll probably get
- 54:19Speaker 1: some sort of themed episode of Dynamite in the next
- 54:21Speaker 1: few weeks. I mean, I know they're doing Beach break
- 54:24Speaker 1: In that's in July, though, but maybe there's going to
- 54:27Speaker 1: be some other sort of themed special episode of Dynamite
- 54:32Speaker 1: and I could see that match happening on there. This
- 54:34Speaker 1: week's episode is sponsored by Wicks. Have you ever heard
- 54:38Speaker 1: of vibe coding before, because I hadn't until recently. But
- 54:41Speaker 1: it's exactly as it sounds. You're looking for a certain
- 54:44Speaker 1: vibe and you code your website to fit that vibe.
- 54:47Speaker 1: You can picture it in your head exactly what you
- 54:50Speaker 1: want it to look like, and then make it a reality.
- 54:52Speaker 1: And the way you do that is with Wicks's new
- 54:55Speaker 1: Harmony editor. It's pretty amazing. All you do is type
- 54:58Speaker 1: in what it is that you want, and through the
- 55:00Speaker 1: power of AI, you'll get a website that mirrors exactly
- 55:03Speaker 1: what you're looking for and works right out of the gate.
- 55:07Speaker 1: But wis Harmony doesn't force you to use AI for everything.
- 55:10Speaker 1: You can still click and change whatever you want all
- 55:13Speaker 1: on your own, or click on something and then ask Aria,
- 55:16Speaker 1: your own personal AI agent, to change it. For you.
- 55:20Speaker 1: It also solves the very annoying problem of having to
- 55:23Speaker 1: prompt AI over and over again, even for the smallest changes.
- 55:26Speaker 1: This is much more efficient and it saves you a
- 55:29Speaker 1: lot of time and aggravation. So do yourself a favor,
- 55:32Speaker 1: save yourself the stress and join the millions of businesses
- 55:36Speaker 1: that already use Wix for their website needs. Try wix

- 55:48Speaker 1: National champion in the main event, Mark Davis sporting an
- 55:51Speaker 1: ipatch after what happened to this poor bastard during stadium
- 55:54Speaker 1: stampede one on one with jungle Jack Perry. This was
- 55:58Speaker 1: the men's Owen hart Toornament quarterfinal. The eyepatch did not
- 56:03Speaker 1: stay on his eye for very long out on the apron.
- 56:08Speaker 1: Davis dropped Perry with a suplex late late in the
- 56:11Speaker 1: match that caused Perry's shoes to go flying off his
- 56:15Speaker 1: feet because on the way down as he was being dropped,
- 56:19Speaker 1: his legs hit the ropes and his shoes went flying,
- 56:22Speaker 1: and then he tumbled down to the floor outside then
- 56:24Speaker 1: back in the ring. The socks came off and Perry
- 56:27Speaker 1: was forced to wrestle Barefoot. And then so we got
- 56:29Speaker 1: some commentary from TAZ talking about, well, you know, I know,
- 56:35Speaker 1: I know that feeling because early in my career I
- 56:37Speaker 1: used to wrestle Barefoot and that's true. When he was
- 56:39Speaker 1: the Tasmaniac, he used to wrestle Barefoot. That's the early
- 56:43Speaker 1: days of TAZ. That was a very different Taz. So
- 56:48Speaker 1: they made the match for next week. All right, so
- 56:50Speaker 1: I guess it's happening next week. There you go, we're
- 56:52Speaker 1: getting a I presume that's for the TNT. Well, they
- 56:55Speaker 1: didn't say it was for the TNT Championship, so I
- 56:58Speaker 1: can't say that for sure. I would assume it would
- 57:01Speaker 1: be for the TNT title. Okay, so we know Speedball
- 57:04Speaker 1: and Kevin Knight is next week. N MJF is defending
- 57:08Speaker 1: the world title against Ruche Good Good. That sounds like
- 57:12Speaker 1: an exciting start to putting a show together for next week.
- 57:16Speaker 1: I will I will never argue or hate on them
- 57:18Speaker 1: booking actual like big matches for these shows. You want
- 57:22Speaker 1: excitement on these shows, that you gotta this is where
- 57:25Speaker 1: you start. You got to make the matches to get
- 57:26Speaker 1: people excited. So anyway, here the UH match continue. Both
- 57:34Speaker 1: men fought up into the corner. Perry hit an avalanche
- 57:37Speaker 1: DDT spiked Davis with it. Then he got a pile driver.
- 57:40Speaker 1: Perry did, but he only got two, so the snare
- 57:43Speaker 1: trap got applied. Davis, though, got the rope break. Perry
- 57:47Speaker 1: tried for the sacrifice knee, but he got swatted out
- 57:50Speaker 1: of mid air. They ended up back on the ropes again.
- 57:53Speaker 1: Perry wanted a superplex. He lost his balance though it
- 57:56Speaker 1: looked like he was setting up for maybe a Spanish
- 57:59Speaker 1: fly because he stood up on like Davis is seated
- 58:02Speaker 1: on the top rowe and then Perry instead of planting
- 58:05Speaker 1: one foot on one side of him and one foot
- 58:08Speaker 1: on the other side of him, he put both feet
- 58:10Speaker 1: on the right side of Davis. So that's why I
- 58:13Speaker 1: was thinking, okay, Spanish fly. But he kind of lost
- 58:17Speaker 1: his footing there, and Davis took advantage. He got him
- 58:21Speaker 1: in a pile driver position and he gave him a
- 58:23Speaker 1: spinning avalanche pile driver off the top rope down to
- 58:29Speaker 1: the mat. And I saw that and I said, this
- 58:31Speaker 1: better be the fucking finish and it was, And so
- 58:35Speaker 1: Mark Davis is moving on to the next round of
- 58:38Speaker 1: the owen now I said, they went way past the
- 58:41Speaker 1: top of the hour with this match, so much so
- 58:43Speaker 1: that as soon as the bell rang and Davis was
- 58:45Speaker 1: announced as the winner, we didn't even hear from the announcers.
- 58:48Speaker 1: Ex Caliber did not even have a chance to do
- 58:50Speaker 1: some sort of final hard sell. They laid out no commentary,
- 58:56Speaker 1: they kept the camera on Davis, they put the copyright
- 58:58Speaker 1: on the screen, and they were out of there because
- 59:01Speaker 1: they were, as Tony Shavanni would say, once upon a time,
- 59:03Speaker 1: we are desperately out of time. So they clearly went
- 59:07Speaker 1: a little over what they're allotted time was supposed to be. Well,
- 59:11Speaker 1: that's what happens to me. You put a pointless TJ
- 59:14Speaker 1: match on the show. I mean, I still don't I
- 59:17Speaker 1: don't understand that placement. That's just very weird to me.
- 59:22Speaker 1: But then they picked up with Collision, so you got
- 59:25Speaker 1: to back out of Dynamite on HBO Max and the
- 59:28Speaker 1: you got to reopen Collision is a separate show, and
- 59:30Speaker 1: then Boot and Collision is on before I talk about
- 59:34Speaker 1: Before I talk about that of the three matches that
- 59:37Speaker 1: Jack Perry and Mark Davis have now had, this was easily,
- 59:39Speaker 1: in my opinion, the best of the bunch. This is
- 59:42Speaker 1: the strongest match that the two of them have had.
- 59:45Speaker 1: It was hardly a marquee main event though, you know,
- 59:48Speaker 1: to follow up such a big pay per view that
- 59:50Speaker 1: they just had on Sunday. But they had a really
- 59:54Speaker 1: strong match. You know. I think I went through two
- 59:55Speaker 1: commercial breaks. When they took that second commercial break, I
- 59:59Speaker 1: was surprised because they were already over the top of
- 1:00:01Speaker 1: the hour. Now look, I know that they had a
- 1:00:05Speaker 1: third hour, so you're like, well, so what then go
- 1:00:07Speaker 1: over over their allotted time? Because who gives a shit? No,
- 1:00:13Speaker 1: I don't think that's necessarily how it works, though, you know,
- 1:00:16Speaker 1: they still have to get off at a certain time
- 1:00:18Speaker 1: with Dynamite, so they can kind of convert everything over
- 1:00:21Speaker 1: to Collision. And somebody will tell me, did Collision tonight
- 1:00:25Speaker 1: air also on TBS? I assumed it all must have
- 1:00:27Speaker 1: aired on TBS, right, they didn't force people. I assumed
- 1:00:30Speaker 1: to switch over to TNT because I know TNT is
- 1:00:34Speaker 1: normally where Collision would air, but on HBO Max. I
- 1:00:38Speaker 1: have no ideas, so maybe somebody can clue me in there. Hey,
- 1:00:46Speaker 1: Brandon Proctor, thank you for forty eight months of membership.
- 1:00:52Speaker 1: He said four years and we're getting close to one
- 1:00:57Speaker 1: hundred k subs, slowly but surely because of people like you.
- 1:01:03Speaker 1: Thank you all TBS. All right, that's what I figured
- 1:01:09Speaker 1: all TBA because normally Collision is a TNT show, so
- 1:01:11Speaker 1: I wasn't sure if they switched it over there, but
- 1:01:15Speaker 1: this ended up being a really strong match. It was
- 1:01:18Speaker 1: not a Marquee main event, but it was a very
- 1:01:21Speaker 1: strong match. Davis made more sense for the winner here.
- 1:01:26Speaker 1: It just made more sense, not just for the babyface
- 1:01:29Speaker 1: versus heel dynamic. In the next round you also have
- 1:01:31Speaker 1: the death Rider dynamic against a member of the don
- 1:01:35Speaker 1: Kallus family. But Mark Davis has a ref stoppage win
- 1:01:40Speaker 1: over Will Osprey just recently, like five or six weeks ago,
- 1:01:45Speaker 1: he beat him on Dynamite, So this next match is
- 1:01:49Speaker 1: going to be Osprey's revenge. He gets to come right
- 1:01:52Speaker 1: back and get one over on Mark Davis. It just
- 1:01:55Speaker 1: made all the sense in the world. So the semiser
- 1:01:58Speaker 1: set in the owen on the men's side. Tony Kahan,
- 1:02:01Speaker 1: he did previously say that Persephone and Series matches their
- 1:02:06Speaker 1: respective matches in the Oh, and He's gonna hold off
- 1:02:09Speaker 1: on them a little bit until we get into June
- 1:02:12Speaker 1: to give them enough time to heal up from the
- 1:02:15Speaker 1: from the injuries that they've been dealing with, and then
- 1:02:19Speaker 1: next week Alex Windsor is going to be wrestling the
- 1:02:22Speaker 1: wild card, who I do not believe is going to
- 1:02:25Speaker 1: be Mercedes Monet. I still maintained that if it was
- 1:02:28Speaker 1: going to be Mercedes, they would have kept the match
- 1:02:30Speaker 1: on the pay per view and had Mercedes come back
- 1:02:33Speaker 1: at double or nothing. So I don't think it's going
- 1:02:35Speaker 1: to be her. I don't know who it's going to be,
- 1:02:37Speaker 1: unless you know, if they debut somebody like a like
- 1:02:41Speaker 1: like Dakota Kai. But outside of that, I don't know.
- 1:02:45Speaker 1: I don't know who it would be. I know Camille
- 1:02:47Speaker 1: came back recently and then she just vanished again. Maybe
- 1:02:52Speaker 1: it's her. I don't know. So I'll tell you what
- 1:02:56Speaker 1: I told you at the beginning here. This was not
- 1:02:58Speaker 1: a bad episode of Dynamite. It just was not the
- 1:03:03Speaker 1: most exciting follow up to what I thought was the
- 1:03:06Speaker 1: best wrestling show that I've seen all year. It's gonna
- 1:03:11Speaker 1: be tough to follow up on what we saw on Sunday,
- 1:03:14Speaker 1: but I was hoping for a little bit a little
- 1:03:16Speaker 1: bit more, and it ended up being pretty average fare
- 1:03:18Speaker 1: as far as Dynamite goes. Now, I did check out
- 1:03:21Speaker 1: the opening Yes, I did check out the opening minutes
- 1:03:25Speaker 1: of Collision. As I was finishing my notes on the
- 1:03:28Speaker 1: main event, we got a Kyle Fletcher return promo calling
- 1:03:33Speaker 1: out Kenoski Takeshta, and Kenoski Takeshta came out the brand
- 1:03:38Speaker 1: new International Champion after his match of the Year with
- 1:03:43Speaker 1: Okata at Double or Nothing. Yes, that is my match
- 1:03:46Speaker 1: of the year so far, even more than it has
- 1:03:48Speaker 1: usurped Roman Reigns and Cmpunk and a couple of other
- 1:03:52Speaker 1: ones that I had. So he comes out there and
- 1:03:55Speaker 1: he is flanked by the Conglomeration. I don't know if
- 1:03:59Speaker 1: he's officially a new member of the conglomeration or you know,
- 1:04:04Speaker 1: they're just sort of loosely aligned now. But he's got
- 1:04:07Speaker 1: some backup, and he came down to the ring and
- 1:04:09Speaker 1: the Kallis family cleared out, and Takeshta got on the
- 1:04:12Speaker 1: mic and he called out Fletcher and said he want Fletcher.
- 1:04:16Speaker 1: So we're obviously going to be getting that match very soon.
- 1:04:19Speaker 1: Will Osprey wrestled on the show. See Tony is wising
- 1:04:23Speaker 1: up when they do these three hour blocks he got
- 1:04:25Speaker 1: to you gotta save some of the big names for
- 1:04:27Speaker 1: that third hour. So it pisses me off because I'm
- 1:04:31Speaker 1: getting ready to go live, but like it's smart, you
- 1:04:33Speaker 1: want to keep people tuned in. So you know, he
- 1:04:36Speaker 1: did the follow up to Takeshta and Fletcher. Here we
- 1:04:40Speaker 1: got a trios match where will Osprey, Tagg, John Moxley
- 1:04:45Speaker 1: and Pack to take on the rascals. That happened. I
- 1:04:48Speaker 1: know later on in the show there was a lights
- 1:04:50Speaker 1: out Philly street fight between Chris stat Lander and Hikarushida.
- 1:04:55Speaker 1: I did not see that, but I know they I'm
- 1:04:57Speaker 1: sure they closed the show with that. But the other
- 1:05:00Speaker 1: the thing that they had here on a collision, we
- 1:05:04Speaker 1: got an OPS promo in the back. Samoa, Joe Hook,
- 1:05:09Speaker 1: Katyuri Shabata, Anthony Bowens were all there, and Joe said
- 1:05:13Speaker 1: that Hollywood was calling, and so he's going to be
- 1:05:16Speaker 1: stepping away for a few months to go take care
- 1:05:18Speaker 1: of business, and so he is leaving the Ops in
- 1:05:21Speaker 1: their hands. He's leaving it in Hook's hands, and off
- 1:05:25Speaker 1: he went. So Samoa Joe, who came back not that
- 1:05:29Speaker 1: long ago. He walked into Flushing, Queens the other night
- 1:05:35Speaker 1: had a kick ass match with Will Osprey, and now
- 1:05:38Speaker 1: he's leaving yet again, at least this time it's not
- 1:05:42Speaker 1: because of an injury, but he's right back out the door.
- 1:05:45Speaker 1: I would imagine he's probably filming the next season of
- 1:05:48Speaker 1: Twisted Metal, I would think, So, yes, we're not going
- 1:05:51Speaker 1: to be seeing Samoa Joe for a few months, but
- 1:05:54Speaker 1: I'm sure hook will hold down the fort with Bowens
- 1:05:57Speaker 1: and the rest of them as far as the the
- 1:05:59Speaker 1: opos is concerned. And that's what that's what I got,
- 1:06:04Speaker 1: That's what I got for you. Again, I didn't see
- 1:06:06Speaker 1: the main event of Collision. I'm sure I'll check it
- 1:06:09Speaker 1: out at some point, but again, I'm dying over here.
- 1:06:12Speaker 1: So I was like, I can't wait any longer because
- 1:06:15Speaker 1: I know exactly what I guarantee you. Collision tonight had
- 1:06:18Speaker 1: an overrun as well. And I always say this is
- 1:06:22Speaker 1: even about three hour WWE shows, Like you have a
- 1:06:25Speaker 1: three hour block of television, you don't need a fucking overrun, Okay,
- 1:06:29Speaker 1: I mean that's just obnoxious. Why does the three hour
- 1:06:33Speaker 1: show need an overrun? So somebody will let me know
- 1:06:35Speaker 1: if Collision had an overrun tonight, how is Joe on
- 1:06:41Speaker 1: that Twisted Metal show, by the way for good things
- 1:06:46Speaker 1: about him. It's just too bad they don't use his voice.
- 1:06:50Speaker 1: Was it to Will Arnett? I think is the voice
- 1:06:53Speaker 1: of sweet Tooth? A twenty minute over No, not twenty minutes.
- 1:07:04Speaker 1: Did they have a twenty minute overrun on Collision? Oh
- 1:07:07Speaker 1: my god, it's fucking ridiculous. Seventeen minutes. It's ridiculous. Hopefully
- 1:07:18Speaker 1: the match at least was worth it. I don't know
- 1:07:21Speaker 1: why the fuck you need a twenty minute over run
- 1:07:23Speaker 1: in a three hour show. It's just ridiculous. Joe is awesome.
- 1:07:31Speaker 1: Well good, Maybe he'll get more roles in Hollywood. Yeah,
- 1:07:36Speaker 1: Twisted Metal was one of those games that I just
- 1:07:38Speaker 1: I never played. I never got into the franchise, and
- 1:07:41Speaker 1: I don't think I've ever played a single Twisted Metal game.
- 1:07:44Speaker 1: I know nothing. I don't even know anything about it.
- 1:07:47Speaker 1: I know it has to do with cars. It's about
- 1:07:50Speaker 1: all I know. Take a look at your messages, and
- 1:08:03Speaker 1: then I am going to attempt to get some sleep.
- 1:08:06Speaker 1: You know, I gotta go to the mechanic in the morning.
- 1:08:12Speaker 1: I need a new fuel pump eight hundred and fifty dollars.
- 1:08:22Speaker 1: I don't even know if we did fifty dollars tonight
- 1:08:24Speaker 1: if we did. Most of it came from this guy
- 1:08:26Speaker 1: right here, Joseph Stewart, who has assaulted me here with
- 1:08:32Speaker 1: super chats, which I very much appreciate. We're going to
- 1:08:34Speaker 1: run through these here, so thank you all for hanging
- 1:08:37Speaker 1: out with me on a Wednesday night. We wanted to
- 1:08:44Speaker 1: know if I liked Santino Morella's Sell of the Stone
- 1:08:48Speaker 1: Cold Stunner. I don't remember Santino's Cell of the Stunner,
- 1:08:52Speaker 1: so I guess the answer is no, is if I
- 1:08:56Speaker 1: really liked it, I would probably still remember it. Lee
- 1:09:05Speaker 1: Merriweather played Catwoman in the Batman sixty sixth movie. It's
- 1:09:09Speaker 1: her birthday today. Happy thirty second anniversary to the Flintstones
- 1:09:15Speaker 1: movies or a movie with John Goodman and Fred Flintstone.
- 1:09:22Speaker 1: Well you can't forget the vivacious halle Berry Come on now.
- 1:09:29Speaker 1: Used to take my Flintstones vitamins when I was younger.
- 1:09:33Speaker 1: I always love the red Ones. Those are my favorite.
- 1:09:41Speaker 1: It says a lot of good movies came out in
- 1:09:43Speaker 1: the year nineteen ninety four. Uh yeah, actually I think
- 1:09:48Speaker 1: The Shawshank Redemption came out that year. Far As Gump, God,
- 1:09:54Speaker 1: what else came out in ninety four. There was a
- 1:09:56Speaker 1: lot of good stuff that came out in ninety four.
- 1:10:05Speaker 1: Maybe I should have taken them. Yeah, fuck you, I
- 1:10:09Speaker 1: should have taken my Flinslons vitamins tonight. I could use
- 1:10:14Speaker 1: some pills right about now. Hey, super Pony, thank you,
- 1:10:22Speaker 1: says Masters of the Universe. Movie movie donuts are available
- 1:10:27Speaker 1: to buy a krispy Kreme had some today and they
- 1:10:29Speaker 1: are really good. Yeah, I don't eat Krispy Creme. I
- 1:10:34Speaker 1: don't do Dunkin Donuts anymore. I've never done Krispy Kreme
- 1:10:39Speaker 1: because we never had one near me. It was always
- 1:10:41Speaker 1: Dunkin Donuts. It's the last thing I need to be
- 1:10:46Speaker 1: eating right now. I am looking forward to the back
- 1:10:53Speaker 1: rooms tomorrow. I have my ticket. I just hope I'm
- 1:10:56Speaker 1: feeling okay. But I have a ticket for an afternoon
- 1:11:00Speaker 1: Nune showing tomorrow, and I'm very much looking for It's funny,
- 1:11:04Speaker 1: like I think it's like a mid afternoon showing. And
- 1:11:10Speaker 1: when I bought the tickets the theater, I mean there
- 1:11:14Speaker 1: were there were there were some blocks of seats that
- 1:11:17Speaker 1: were blocked off, but it wasn't too terrible. And I
- 1:11:20Speaker 1: just went back today to check out the seating map
- 1:11:23Speaker 1: and it's like almost completely sold out, which I guess
- 1:11:26Speaker 1: is a good sign for the movie, but I'm like, fuck,
- 1:11:31Speaker 1: I kind of like it when it's mostly empty and
- 1:11:33Speaker 1: now it's almost sold out. What is your favorite quote
- 1:11:43Speaker 1: from The Sopranos quote Phillyotado twenty fucking years. That man
- 1:11:58Speaker 1: did twenty fucking years. Two of the cast members of
- 1:12:03Speaker 1: The Sopranos, Christopher and Bobby, were at the Knicks game
- 1:12:07Speaker 1: last week. That's very cool. What are your thoughts on
- 1:12:16Speaker 1: dominic mysterios comments on his recent booking. I did not
- 1:12:21Speaker 1: hear any comments from Dominic about his recent booking, so
- 1:12:23Speaker 1: I have no idea what that's in reference to. You'll
- 1:12:27Speaker 1: have to fill me in. Is it true that Vince
- 1:12:33Speaker 1: McMahon used Dominic to sign with w W to tollure
- 1:12:39Speaker 1: rayback to the company instead of joining AEW. I've never
- 1:12:44Speaker 1: heard that before. I've never heard that before. I would
- 1:12:47Speaker 1: have to like know what the timeline was on that,
- 1:12:51Speaker 1: Like when when did dom get signed? Do you remember
- 1:12:59Speaker 1: Dominic appearing on UCA Underground? I don't, I know Ray
- 1:13:05Speaker 1: was there. I remember that. What is your favorite Tony
- 1:13:14Speaker 1: soprano moment? It's when he did some dental work on

- 1:16:56Speaker 1: know if you mean people that have played mobsters or
- 1:16:58Speaker 1: actual mobsters, because I'm going to give you one answer,
- 1:17:01Speaker 1: and I'm going to give you the only answer I know,
- 1:17:03Speaker 1: which is Tony si Rico, Polly Walnuts on the Sopranos.

- 1:17:15Speaker 1: He was mobbed up back in the seventies, and I

- 1:18:16Speaker 1: I guess that's better than Crystal meth. I could use
- 1:18:18Speaker 1: some of that right now, because I'm fucking dying here
- 1:18:23Speaker 1: Chicago for MBK feel better. Yeah, thank you. I just
- 1:18:28Speaker 1: I fucking hate this trying to do shows and do
- 1:18:32Speaker 1: streams like this when your head feels like it's going
- 1:18:34Speaker 1: to explode and you're all stuffed up and you're leaking
- 1:18:36Speaker 1: like a fucking faucet. It's not fun. It's not fun.
- 1:18:44Speaker 1: Misfit wrestling podcasts New Japan have announced that all AW
- 1:18:48Speaker 1: content will be leaving NJPW World at the end of June.
- 1:18:52Speaker 1: I didn't even know there was AW content on there.
- 1:18:54Speaker 1: What AW content? Did they have? A New Japan World?
- 1:19:01Speaker 1: Leopard toose Okada pressed the wrong button on Solo Bender,
- 1:19:11Speaker 1: mc simpson, Dynamite and Collision were great tonight. Love the
- 1:19:13Speaker 1: setup for Osprey and Omega, and it was cool to
- 1:19:18Speaker 1: see flashbulbs in the crowd again. That might have been
- 1:19:20Speaker 1: the best part of the entire show seeing the flashbulbs
- 1:19:24Speaker 1: Ryan Awesome. How's this name for the New Day? The
- 1:19:27Speaker 1: New Way? I said, the New Dawn. I mean, I
- 1:19:35Speaker 1: guess the New Way could work unless WWE wanted to
- 1:19:38Speaker 1: be petty assholes about it say that it's too similar
- 1:19:43Speaker 1: dry chicken with a couple of super chats. My shower
- 1:19:48Speaker 1: was very cold after watching TJ in Action, You're going
- 1:19:56Speaker 1: to be getting a visit soon from some detect tims.
- 1:20:01Speaker 1: Blackheart Leo Rush is creepy and awesome. I hope he
- 1:20:04Speaker 1: gets the character going into Halloween season or keeps the
- 1:20:07Speaker 1: character going into Halloween season. Misfit Wrestling Podcast. I'm surprised
- 1:20:14Speaker 1: the bizarre nWo story did not get covered on TNT.
- 1:20:17Speaker 1: That's what the sound off is for. We'll be talking
- 1:20:19Speaker 1: about that on Sunday Super Pony. As a KO fan,
- 1:20:22Speaker 1: I'm getting worried that we have not heard anything about
- 1:20:24Speaker 1: his recovery or potential return losing hope. Should I be worried? No? No,
- 1:20:33Speaker 1: And everybody also say hello to Jesse the Shytown smart
- 1:20:38Speaker 1: in the chat. Hi guys, Hi Jesse, I'm sick. I
- 1:20:43Speaker 1: hope you're feeling better than I am. Wow, I just
- 1:21:04Speaker 1: I was just kind of speechless at that moment. I
- 1:21:09Speaker 1: didn't quite know what to say. I'm still kind of speechless.
- 1:21:14Speaker 1: Holy shit. Wow, that was that was k be good
- 1:21:30Speaker 1: fifty seven thirty five with a five hundred dollars super
- 1:21:39Speaker 1: chat bomb. I'm gonna go every fucking holy shit, every
- 1:21:44Speaker 1: fucking sound effect that you can imagine. Oh my God,
- 1:21:51Speaker 1: says I've been wanting to send you some lute. This
- 1:21:54Speaker 1: super chat has been brought to you by DraftKings. You
- 1:21:58Speaker 1: deserve it is that what happens is you win some
- 1:22:02Speaker 1: money through DraftKings. That would be kind of funny if
- 1:22:06Speaker 1: that's where it all came from. Brother. I don't even
- 1:22:08Speaker 1: know what to say other than holy shit and thank
- 1:22:11Speaker 1: you that wow wow, Yeah, it's funny. There's been some
- 1:22:18Speaker 1: five some five hundo bombs over the years. They're rare.
- 1:22:22Speaker 1: It's kind of like a unicorn, like you don't believe
- 1:22:25Speaker 1: it's real, but then every now and then you kind
- 1:22:27Speaker 1: of see one. Or maybe you're sick like I am tonight.
- 1:22:29Speaker 1: Maybe you're just hallucinating. I think for a moment there,
- 1:22:32Speaker 1: I thought I was hallucinating because maybe it was the
- 1:22:34Speaker 1: cold medication that is that is in me, that is
- 1:22:37Speaker 1: coursing through my veins right now. KB. Brother, man, shit,
- 1:22:44Speaker 1: I appreciate that very much. You are the you are
- 1:22:49Speaker 1: the king of the streams this week. Now you can
- 1:22:54Speaker 1: get that extra special tumps. Yes, well, I mentioned earlier.
- 1:22:59Speaker 1: I have to go to the mechanic in the morning
- 1:23:01Speaker 1: because I need a new fuel pump because my check
- 1:23:04Speaker 1: engine light went on the other day. And this was
- 1:23:09Speaker 1: after the low oil pressure light came on like a
- 1:23:13Speaker 1: month ago, even though I just got an oil change
- 1:23:15Speaker 1: like two months ago, and so that that was Thankfully,
- 1:23:20Speaker 1: that ended up just being a faulty switch. They changed
- 1:23:22Speaker 1: the switch for like one hundred bucks or whatever it was,
- 1:23:25Speaker 1: and it's been fine. So I see the check engine
- 1:23:28Speaker 1: light and I'm like, fuck, So I guess, you know whatever.
- 1:23:32Speaker 1: They check the codes for whatever is, whatever it means,
- 1:23:35Speaker 1: and they're like, yeah, the fuel pump. They go, when's
- 1:23:39Speaker 1: your inspection. I said, oh, it's about a month away.
- 1:23:42Speaker 1: They go, well, if that check engine light is on,
- 1:23:44Speaker 1: you're not going to pass inspection. I said, well that's
- 1:23:46Speaker 1: a problem. I said, well, maybe we should get this
- 1:23:49Speaker 1: taken care of eight hundred and fifty bucks or a
- 1:23:53Speaker 1: fucking fuel pump tomorrow. KB thank you, brother man, Thank
- 1:24:03Speaker 1: you for your podcast for twenty It's almost yeah, believe
- 1:24:06Speaker 1: it or not, it's almost twenty years. Yeah. Endgames says
- 1:24:11Speaker 1: now who single handedly carried the show. See, Joseph thought
- 1:24:15Speaker 1: he was wearing the crown tonight man. He thought he
- 1:24:17Speaker 1: was the king of the ring. And then in comes
- 1:24:21Speaker 1: our brother KB, who's like, not so fast. He swiped
- 1:24:24Speaker 1: that crown right off his head so fast, man, he
- 1:24:27Speaker 1: got rugburn. It is funny how that works. Well, let
- 1:24:33Speaker 1: me see where I left off with these super chats
- 1:24:35Speaker 1: here before we had the bomb dropped on us? Here,
- 1:24:40Speaker 1: Where did I leave off? Here we go? I think
- 1:24:44Speaker 1: I was about to answer Super Ponies question about Kevin Owens.
- 1:24:49Speaker 1: I would not be concerned. I know he's one of
- 1:24:53Speaker 1: the judges on the new season of LFG. The fact
- 1:24:56Speaker 1: that you haven't heard any updates on him is not
- 1:24:58Speaker 1: really indicative of anything, because I would imagine when the
- 1:25:02Speaker 1: time comes for him to come back, they may well
- 1:25:04Speaker 1: want it under wraps. You know, they may want him
- 1:25:07Speaker 1: to come back in secret fashion. But you got to
- 1:25:10Speaker 1: keep in mind, like the surgery he had, you're gonna
- 1:25:12Speaker 1: be out for a while. You're gonna be out for
- 1:25:14Speaker 1: at least a year. And I don't even know if
- 1:25:16Speaker 1: it's been a full year yet. I'm pretty sure he
- 1:25:19Speaker 1: didn't actually have the surgery until July of last year,
- 1:25:23Speaker 1: because remember there was a period of time that went
- 1:25:25Speaker 1: by where I think there was some swelling and they
- 1:25:27Speaker 1: had away for the swelling to go down, and then
- 1:25:30Speaker 1: they went in and did the surgery, and I'm almost
- 1:25:33Speaker 1: positive it was last summer, so I don't even think
- 1:25:35Speaker 1: it's been a full year yet since he had surgery,
- 1:25:37Speaker 1: so I wouldn't worry too much about it. I think
- 1:25:41Speaker 1: he'll be back. He shouldn't rush back, and he's definitely
- 1:25:47Speaker 1: missed on SmackDown, that's for sure, but it doesn't mean
- 1:25:50Speaker 1: he's not coming back. Iron Guidgin, thank you for the
- 1:25:56Speaker 1: two bucks to go towards the fuel pump. Thank you,
- 1:25:58Speaker 1: Iron Guigen. Dried Chicken says can't wait for the back
- 1:26:01Speaker 1: room scary movie and Obsession. You haven't seen Obsession yet?
- 1:26:05Speaker 1: What are you waiting for? Before they take it out
- 1:26:08Speaker 1: of theaters. You got to go see it in like
- 1:26:10Speaker 1: a pack theater. See that's a movie where you should
- 1:26:13Speaker 1: see it in like a pack theater. The reactions from
- 1:26:17Speaker 1: the people, I almost want to go see it again.
- 1:26:19Speaker 1: The reactions from the people in the theater during some
- 1:26:21Speaker 1: of the scenes was almost as good as the scene itself.
- 1:26:27Speaker 1: I think it's coming out on digital in like a week.
- 1:26:29Speaker 1: I hope they change that. I really hope they push
- 1:26:32Speaker 1: the digital release back. I want to see how much
- 1:26:36Speaker 1: money this movie can make once you release it on digital.
- 1:26:40Speaker 1: You just kill all of the theater business for it.
- 1:26:43Speaker 1: This movie is making more money each passing week than
- 1:26:45Speaker 1: it made the week before, which is like unheard of. Says,
- 1:26:52Speaker 1: it's the good Sun's scenario. Save one, let the other
- 1:26:55Speaker 1: one go gold dust or hardcore Holly, you know, hardcore Holly.
- 1:27:05Speaker 1: I think if I let him go, I think he'd
- 1:27:07Speaker 1: find a way to kind of cling to the side
- 1:27:08Speaker 1: of the mountain, and he would find a way to survive.
- 1:27:12Speaker 1: He's a tough guy. I interviewed him on the SoundOff
- 1:27:16Speaker 1: many years ago. He was he was a great interview.
- 1:27:21Speaker 1: He was a great interview And I think I've mentioned
- 1:27:23Speaker 1: this too, Like I don't remember what year it was
- 1:27:26Speaker 1: that I interviewed him. It might have been it might
- 1:27:28Speaker 1: have been about ten years ago, ten or eleven years ago,
- 1:27:31Speaker 1: but I'll never forget, like it was totally unexpected. But
- 1:27:36Speaker 1: after my mom died, he was one of the people
- 1:27:39Speaker 1: I got a text message from, like an actual like
- 1:27:41Speaker 1: a text message. It was like a long message too,
- 1:27:44Speaker 1: from like him and his wife, very very nice message.
- 1:27:48Speaker 1: So I've never forgotten that We've got Rick s Rick
- 1:27:58Speaker 1: s X in your opinion, was the lead character and
- 1:28:01Speaker 1: obsession the villain of the movie. Well, I don't want
- 1:28:05Speaker 1: to get into spoilers. I mean I could have a
- 1:28:07Speaker 1: whole discussion with you about the about this. I don't
- 1:28:13Speaker 1: want to get into any spoilers here. I'll just say this,
- 1:28:20Speaker 1: what you what you believe, is probably what I believe,
- 1:28:28Speaker 1: and we'll leave it at that. Brian Finelli just wanted
- 1:28:31Speaker 1: to give you some money for Flintstone vitamins and keep
- 1:28:34Speaker 1: you here a few moments longer. Thank you, Brian. I
- 1:28:39Speaker 1: appreciate the support telling even those vitamins are really good.
- 1:28:47Speaker 1: They're a hell of a lot more interesting than just
- 1:28:50Speaker 1: plain old cent frum vitamins. Barry MK, do you think
- 1:28:56Speaker 1: WWE still needs gms? Both of them act the same
- 1:29:00Speaker 1: and the shows don't fight with each other. I think
- 1:29:03Speaker 1: the gms are are useful. Put it this way, I think,
- 1:29:10Speaker 1: okb did they cap you, well, not cap you? You
- 1:29:16Speaker 1: know what I mean? He says they captive at five hundred. Yeah,
- 1:29:19Speaker 1: you know. I think the max single super chat that
- 1:29:22Speaker 1: you can send is five hundred. See. I don't know though,
- 1:29:24Speaker 1: if that means the cap the single super chat amount
- 1:29:31Speaker 1: of five hundred, and you can't donate any more for
- 1:29:33Speaker 1: the rest of the stream or just the one donation
- 1:29:37Speaker 1: is capped at five hundred, and then you can drop
- 1:29:39Speaker 1: like more. I'm not saying you drop another five hundred.
- 1:29:42Speaker 1: I'm just saying I don't know if five hundred is
- 1:29:44Speaker 1: the cap for like all super chats for one person
- 1:29:47Speaker 1: for one stream, I'm not sure. I'm not sure how
- 1:29:52Speaker 1: that works. But anyway, on the GM stuff, like if
- 1:29:57Speaker 1: they actually made more use of the GMS in terms
- 1:29:59Speaker 1: of like trades and things of that nature, then they
- 1:30:03Speaker 1: would I think in that case they would be a
- 1:30:06Speaker 1: lot more useful. You know what, I think they're missing.
- 1:30:12Speaker 1: I think they're missing a good commissioner. There's just certain
- 1:30:16Speaker 1: commissioners in wrestling who know how to get things done.
- 1:30:19Speaker 1: I'm just saying, where did we end up on the likes?
- 1:30:24Speaker 1: I'm just curious, And you know what, we didn't hit
- 1:30:28Speaker 1: the goal, but we came a lot closer than I
- 1:30:29Speaker 1: thought we did. I'll tell you what though. You know what,
- 1:30:32Speaker 1: I know the goal tonight was five fifteen. But I
- 1:30:35Speaker 1: gotta tell you I think KB. I think KB just
- 1:30:41Speaker 1: earned us around to be the booker. I think that
- 1:30:47Speaker 1: it's the least that we can do here. I think
- 1:30:49Speaker 1: we need to absolutely have one round of be the
- 1:30:53Speaker 1: Booker tonight on KB, I guess courtesy of DraftKings. Let's
- 1:30:58Speaker 1: do it, gentlemen. It is now time to be the Booker.
- 1:31:05Speaker 1: Oh it's time, all right, it is time. I bet
- 1:31:08Speaker 1: you didn't think we would be doing this tonight. It
- 1:31:11Speaker 1: is time for be the Booker, which does not always
- 1:31:15Speaker 1: happen here on these Dynamite streams, because the Dynamite streams,
- 1:31:19Speaker 1: as compared to Ron's SmackDown, tend to be pretty fucking dead.
- 1:31:22Speaker 1: But we're doing it tonight. That's right, KB for the win. KB,
- 1:31:29Speaker 1: by the way, used to be my favorite toy store.
- 1:31:32Speaker 1: And now you have people that are gonna watch and
- 1:31:34Speaker 1: listen to this and go, what the hell's KB? And
- 1:31:36Speaker 1: it's gonna make me very sad that they never knew
- 1:31:39Speaker 1: the joy of KB toy and hobby. Do they have
- 1:31:44Speaker 1: any toy stores anymore? Because oh god, that was not
- 1:31:50Speaker 1: my intention? Are you not a B the Booker fan? KB?
- 1:31:53Speaker 1: We can cancel it. We can cancel it right now
- 1:31:57Speaker 1: here we go. We got Matt Hardy and he got MVP,
- 1:32:02Speaker 1: the former SmackDown Tag Team Champions. We haven't landed on
- 1:32:08Speaker 1: them in a while here and be the Booker. They
- 1:32:10Speaker 1: had a good story going on SmackDown for a while there,
- 1:32:13Speaker 1: many years ago. Toys are of course, yeah, I used
- 1:32:17Speaker 1: to shop at Toys r US as well, but KB.
- 1:32:20Speaker 1: There were things that sometimes Toys r US wouldn't have,
- 1:32:22Speaker 1: and then KB would. I forced my mother to take
- 1:32:25Speaker 1: me to KB because it was too far away to walk.
- 1:32:29Speaker 1: Was it the mall? Ah? Those were the days, the
- 1:32:35Speaker 1: pure unadulterated joy of just walking through the automatic doors
- 1:32:42Speaker 1: at Toys r US. I knew exactly what isle I
- 1:32:44Speaker 1: had to go to, and just running and making a
- 1:32:47Speaker 1: bline for the isle with the wrestling figures. Oh, those
- 1:32:52Speaker 1: were the days. Hulk Hogan and Brutus the Barber Beefcake
- 1:32:58Speaker 1: against Matt Hardy an MVP. I feel like MVP would
- 1:33:06Speaker 1: probably do a double leg and shoot on Hogan in
- 1:33:09Speaker 1: this match. It's just a hunch that I have. I
- 1:33:15Speaker 1: take it he's probably not a Hulk Hogan fan. Women's
- 1:33:22Speaker 1: be the Booker. I take it MVP may not be
- 1:33:29Speaker 1: a fan of hers either. We have Tessa Blanchard. Tessa
- 1:33:32Speaker 1: Blanchard is in Be the Booker boy. Tessa Blanchard At
- 1:33:35Speaker 1: one time, I would have had her within two or
- 1:33:41Speaker 1: three years headlining one of the Knights of WrestleMania. Boy,
- 1:33:47Speaker 1: that fall is going to have to be studied. But
- 1:33:50Speaker 1: she is going to be stepping into the ring with
- 1:33:52Speaker 1: Teagan Knocks and I think just as a as a
- 1:33:57Speaker 1: wrestling match, I have to give that the bell. I
- 1:34:02Speaker 1: have to give that the bell. I think that would
- 1:34:07Speaker 1: be a good match. And in our main event we
- 1:34:11Speaker 1: have are you fucking kidding me? H? Wasn't he in
- 1:34:22Speaker 1: the main event? When was he in the main event
- 1:34:25Speaker 1: two weeks ago? Yeah, he wrestled Seth Rollins in the
- 1:34:27Speaker 1: main event. Now he's in the main event of be
- 1:34:28Speaker 1: the Booker. We have Austin Theory. Why is he here?
- 1:34:33Speaker 1: Why is he on my screen? Austin Theory and our
- 1:34:42Speaker 1: main event we have legends in here. We have a
- 1:34:47Speaker 1: legend right here, Hiroshi Tanahashi against Austin Theory, and I'm
- 1:34:51Speaker 1: gonna give it the bell because it's fucking tana Hashi.
- 1:34:57Speaker 1: But if it was anybody else except Brett, this would
- 1:35:02Speaker 1: have gone a very different way. I don't know, are
- 1:35:07Speaker 1: we feeling this main event Tanahashi against Austin Theory as
- 1:35:14Speaker 1: a main event. I'm not so sure. I'm not so
- 1:35:18Speaker 1: sure about that. That was not a clean sweet? But
- 1:35:21Speaker 1: why was it a clean sweet? Oh? Was it clean sweet? Oh?
- 1:35:26Speaker 1: I'm sorry I told you. I'm kind of out to
- 1:35:31Speaker 1: lunch here tonight. All right, I guess I owe you
- 1:35:36Speaker 1: a I owe you a sweep, then don't I There
- 1:35:45Speaker 1: you go. See now you can't say I cheated you
- 1:35:48Speaker 1: out of your clean sweep sound effect, and Alex says
- 1:35:53Speaker 1: brother Sola one of my pals, Hirsh is a huge
- 1:35:56Speaker 1: fan and always misses your streams. Mind giving him a
- 1:36:00Speaker 1: shout out much love. Shout out to hersh. Why does
- 1:36:03Speaker 1: he miss my streams? If you're a huge fan, you
- 1:36:07Speaker 1: make time for the streams. You tell hersh I better.
- 1:36:10Speaker 1: I expect him in the chat one of these days,
- 1:36:15Speaker 1: but send him my best. Tell him I appreciate all
- 1:36:18Speaker 1: of the support, and I appreciate him being a fan.
- 1:36:24Speaker 1: This is all a fever dream solo. I feel like
- 1:36:29Speaker 1: I'm dreaming. I feel like I'm seeing things. I'm hoping
- 1:36:34Speaker 1: on Friday, I see a good wrestling show, because that
- 1:36:38Speaker 1: is the next time I'm going to be live with
- 1:36:40Speaker 1: you here on this channel. It will be for smack
- 1:36:41Speaker 1: Oh good, I reminded myself. So on Friday, SmackDown is
- 1:36:47Speaker 1: airing from Barcelona, Spain, and as far as I know,
- 1:36:51Speaker 1: I believe on Netflix internationally it will be airing at
- 1:36:56Speaker 1: two pm Eastern Time. So if that's the case, yes,
- 1:37:01Speaker 1: I will watch the show earlier. I'm not going to
- 1:37:05Speaker 1: go live immediately after. Probably going to go live rent
- 1:37:09Speaker 1: eight or eight thirty on Friday night because if I
- 1:37:12Speaker 1: don't have to go live at eleven thirty, I'd rather not,
- 1:37:15Speaker 1: especially the way I feel, So just be aware of that.
- 1:37:19Speaker 1: Probably going to go live a few hours earlier than
- 1:37:21Speaker 1: usual for the SmackDown recap on Friday, and then on
- 1:37:25Speaker 1: Sunday we have this show right here, actually, we have
- 1:37:30Speaker 1: Clash in Italy and this is coming up on Sunday
- 1:37:38Speaker 1: two pm Eastern time. Same thing. I'll probably go live
- 1:37:42Speaker 1: aront eight. I don't think I'm going to go live
- 1:37:44Speaker 1: immediately after. I'd rather eat first, So that will be
- 1:37:49Speaker 1: the plan for Sunday. Plus, of course, because the Clash
- 1:37:53Speaker 1: in Italy show is taking place on a Sunday at
- 1:37:56Speaker 1: two o'clock in the afternoon, that kind of fucks me
- 1:37:59Speaker 1: because that's usually my drop time for the SoundOff. So
- 1:38:03Speaker 1: the plan is for the SoundOff to go up on
- 1:38:08Speaker 1: Saturday at some point, So the podcast is probably going
- 1:38:12Speaker 1: to go up a day early this weekend. So everything,
- 1:38:14Speaker 1: you know, when they have these international shows and these
- 1:38:16Speaker 1: international tours, everything just sort of gets upended. So just
- 1:38:20Speaker 1: be aware of that. Make sure your notification bells are
- 1:38:23Speaker 1: on that way. If you're not around, then you don't know.
- 1:38:25Speaker 1: You'll get an alert and you'll know when I'm live.
- 1:38:29Speaker 1: Justin g says super check cap five hundred a day,
- 1:38:37Speaker 1: two thousand a week per user. Oh okay, so it
- 1:38:43Speaker 1: is okay, Well there you go. Now you know five
- 1:38:48Speaker 1: hundred is the capper per day per person. EJ. Slim.
- 1:38:55Speaker 1: Would you agree that, besides Steamboat and Bruno, Kobashi was
- 1:38:59Speaker 1: one of the only lifelong babyfaces in wrestling? I guess he.
- 1:39:04Speaker 1: I guess he would have been right, and and Speedball
- 1:39:10Speaker 1: because I don't see Speedball going hell anytime soon. There's
- 1:39:14Speaker 1: very few people that can claim that Steamboat is one
- 1:39:17Speaker 1: of the only ones. I guess he would be. I
- 1:39:19Speaker 1: guess Kobashi would be. Dry Chicken says all wrestlers and
- 1:39:22Speaker 1: be the booker have been transferred to the back room. Yeah,
- 1:39:29Speaker 1: you don't want You don't want to get trapped in
- 1:39:30Speaker 1: the back rooms. That is not what you want to
- 1:39:35Speaker 1: be doing. Get some sleep and make some hot green tea.
- 1:39:42Speaker 1: Hot green tea, I don't have green tea. Sleep doesn't
- 1:39:47Speaker 1: sound too bad, though, I'll try that. What about Tito Santana.
- 1:39:59Speaker 1: I don't know Tito every heel in his career, like
- 1:40:01Speaker 1: even in other territories. I mean, I guess in WWE
- 1:40:07Speaker 1: he was always a babyface, So yeah, Tito might be
- 1:40:11Speaker 1: on there. Tito is great. Tito's actually underrated, I think,
- 1:40:16Speaker 1: for as great as he was. Anyway, thank you guys
- 1:40:20Speaker 1: for keeping me company and hanging out with me here
- 1:40:23Speaker 1: on a Wednesday night, and for all of the support
- 1:40:26Speaker 1: from Joseph and KB and everybody in between. All you guys,
- 1:40:31Speaker 1: I appreciate it. We can take even a typically slow
- 1:40:35Speaker 1: night and turn it into a fun night, so that's
- 1:40:37Speaker 1: what it's all about. I will hopefully see many of
- 1:40:41Speaker 1: you back here on Friday night again, probably around eight
- 1:40:46Speaker 1: or eight thirty Eastern time. We'll talk SmackDown because I
- 1:40:49Speaker 1: plan on watching it early. So maybe if you want to,
- 1:40:53Speaker 1: you should try to as well, so that way you'll
- 1:40:55Speaker 1: be all caught up on things when I talk about it.
- 1:40:58Speaker 1: And then we got a busy weekend coming up with
- 1:41:00Speaker 1: the podcast, and then clash in Italy, and then we
- 1:41:03Speaker 1: start all over again. We start with Monday Night Resy.
- 1:41:06Speaker 1: The cycle never stops, the cycle never ends, it just continues.
- 1:41:10Speaker 1: It just goes on and on and on. And we
- 1:41:12Speaker 1: got a whole new week coming up next week, so
- 1:41:14Speaker 1: be well, stay safe. Yep KB, he swiped the crown
- 1:41:19Speaker 1: from Joseph. Who's gonna get it next time? I don't know,
- 1:41:22Speaker 1: but for tonight we know who it belongs to. Have
- 1:41:26Speaker 1: yourselves a good night. I will see you guys back
- 1:41:28Speaker 1: here for more sounds off real soon. Till then, take care, guys.
- 1:41:31Speaker 1: I'm off to the back rooms.
