<v Speaker 1>Aew was back at the Andrew J. Brady Music Center
<v Speaker 1>in Cincinnati. It was another one of these intimate venues.
<v Speaker 1>It's a music hall and it has been a popular
<v Speaker 1>venue for them this year because they actually had a
<v Speaker 1>dynamite there earlier in the year. You remember it was
<v Speaker 1>the episode where John Moxley and that's his hometown, John
<v Speaker 1>Moxley defended the aw World Championship on that show against
<v Speaker 1>Powerhouse Hobbs. And what a main event that was on
<v Speaker 1>that show. That was at the beginning of the year.
<v Speaker 1>And actually WWE ran there as well. They ran an
<v Speaker 1>NXT show in that venue the following month. So tonight
<v Speaker 1>they were back and there was a lot going on
<v Speaker 1>on this show, a little too much going on on
<v Speaker 1>this show because they realized that Forbidden Door is less
<v Speaker 1>than two weeks away. We have ten days to go
<v Speaker 1>until Forbidden Door. And one of the issues that they
<v Speaker 1>have run into this year is the fact that the
<v Speaker 1>g One Climax is currently in progress. Normally, Forbidden Door
<v Speaker 1>does not take place in August, but it did this
<v Speaker 1>year because all Ingub moved up a little bit, so
<v Speaker 1>the schedule sort of shifted a little bit. We haven't
<v Speaker 1>seen that many New Japan Stars popping up on TV.
<v Speaker 1>We had one tonight, and I would guess that once
<v Speaker 1>the g One wraps up, which I believe is this weekend,
<v Speaker 1>we may see them on the show next week. Next
<v Speaker 1>week is the final Dynamite before Forbidden Door. That did
<v Speaker 1>not stop them though, from making a whole bunch of
<v Speaker 1>different announcements. But before we even get into any of that,
<v Speaker 1>the key angle on the show involved the AW World
<v Speaker 1>Championship Hangman Page and MJF. MJF got a win last
<v Speaker 1>week in the main event if you remember over Mark Briscoe.
<v Speaker 1>Mark Briscoe was not on the show tonight. We had
<v Speaker 1>a face off, and we'll talk about the opening segment here,
<v Speaker 1>but what came out of it was Hangman goating MJF,
<v Speaker 1>getting under his skin and goading him into putting his
<v Speaker 1>contract up the contract up meeting. He's going to use
<v Speaker 1>the contract that he won in the Casino Gaullet match,
<v Speaker 1>not that he's going to put the contract on the
<v Speaker 1>line and he's gonna get his World Championship match at
<v Speaker 1>Forbidden Door, but he's gonna get it by cashing in
<v Speaker 1>the contract that he won. So they're going right to
<v Speaker 1>that match it is official. We have a World Championship
<v Speaker 1>match now for a pay per view. We also had
<v Speaker 1>on this show the return of Will Osprey, the same
<v Speaker 1>Will Osprey who only a few weeks ago showed up
<v Speaker 1>on TV looking very downtrodden and down on his luck
<v Speaker 1>because he was given some terrible news that he had
<v Speaker 1>a very serious injury, two herniated discs in his neck,
<v Speaker 1>and he made a very odd statement that you know,
<v Speaker 1>Bruv Bruv, I hope to be back in time for
<v Speaker 1>Forbidden Door. And I'm just like, what, two herniated discs
<v Speaker 1>in his neck and he hopes to be back in
<v Speaker 1>a matter of weeks, and that seemed very unwise, it
<v Speaker 1>seemed very optimistic. Well, there he was tonight. He was there,
<v Speaker 1>he was physical, and they made the announcement that will
<v Speaker 1>Osprey is going to be wrestling on the Forbidden Door card.
<v Speaker 1>Not only is he going to be wrestling on the
<v Speaker 1>Forbidden Door card, but he is going to be involved
<v Speaker 1>in a ten men lights out steel cage match. So
<v Speaker 1>one of these matches that there's just going to be
<v Speaker 1>mass carnage and chaos and big moves and a lot
<v Speaker 1>of it's going to be coming from will Osper doesn't
<v Speaker 1>sound very smart to me, but I'm sure he desperately
<v Speaker 1>wanted to be on that show, and so he is.
<v Speaker 1>Now I'm just trying to visualize how this is going
<v Speaker 1>to work. You know, when you have this is not
<v Speaker 1>blooding guts where you have two rings and you can
<v Speaker 1>spread people out. You got ten guys that are going
<v Speaker 1>to be in this match in one ring, in one cage.
<v Speaker 1>That's a lot of guys. It's a lot of bodies
<v Speaker 1>and not a lot of room to maneuver around. So
<v Speaker 1>that just sounds like a complete shit show waiting to
<v Speaker 1>happen here. But you look at the names in this match,
<v Speaker 1>and it will be Darby Allen, it will be Will
<v Speaker 1>Osprey obviously, Hiroshi Tanahashi, and we'll get into who the
<v Speaker 1>other members of the match are going to be, because
<v Speaker 1>it was quite a shock seeing them just thrown up
<v Speaker 1>in a graphic with no way to build them up
<v Speaker 1>to the moment or anything like that. Two other really
<v Speaker 1>big names if you're at aw finger looking at this
<v Speaker 1>going man he's are two really big names that also
<v Speaker 1>are tossed in there on the baby face side out
<v Speaker 1>of nowhere. We've not seen them on television recently, but
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna be there at Forbidden Door in a few weeks.
<v Speaker 1>They and I'll just tell you right now, one of
<v Speaker 1>those names is Kenny Omega, and they threw his return
<v Speaker 1>out there like nothing, just a total throwaway. Oh, by
<v Speaker 1>the way, Kenny Omega is going to be back in
<v Speaker 1>that match of Forbidden Door. Okay, okay, all right. You
<v Speaker 1>know for a company, I mean Tony Kumas talking. He
<v Speaker 1>did an interview with Z one hundred here in New
<v Speaker 1>York and he was just talking about all the stories
<v Speaker 1>that they tell. People say, we're not a storytelling company, though,
<v Speaker 1>we don't tell stories, and that's not true. And he's right.
<v Speaker 1>People do make comments like that and it's not true.
<v Speaker 1>You may not like the stories they tell, but they
<v Speaker 1>do tell stories. But this is one of those examples
<v Speaker 1>of no story to be told here. As far as
<v Speaker 1>their inclusion in the match, it's just like we got
<v Speaker 1>we gotta put a card together here and find a
<v Speaker 1>way to get these people on the show. And this
<v Speaker 1>is what we're coming up with. So that match is official.
<v Speaker 1>We have And then really when you look at it too,
<v Speaker 1>like we have. Man, I haven't even mentioned the cop
<v Speaker 1>and Christian stuff. My God, like I said, there was
<v Speaker 1>a lot of stuff that was thrown out there tonight
<v Speaker 1>to set matches up for the pay per view, coping
<v Speaker 1>Christian being one of them. They're back together. I didn't
<v Speaker 1>think tonight was going to be the night. But they're
<v Speaker 1>back together, and they're wrestling at Forbidden Door. They're not
<v Speaker 1>waiting until all out, They're not waiting for Toronto. We
<v Speaker 1>are getting the Adam Copeland Christian Cage reunion, the first
<v Speaker 1>time since twenty eleven that these men have teamed together,
<v Speaker 1>and we are getting that at Forbidden Door as well.
<v Speaker 1>But this is what happens again when you are in
<v Speaker 1>crunch time and you have a card that has to
<v Speaker 1>be put together and not a whole lot announced, you
<v Speaker 1>get all these announcements at once, because look, if they waited,
<v Speaker 1>next week is the go home show, and then you'd
<v Speaker 1>have people complaining, oh, why are you putting half the
<v Speaker 1>card together four days before the pay per view. So
<v Speaker 1>they felt like they had to make these announcements. And honestly,
<v Speaker 1>if you look at the cards so far for Forbidden Door,
<v Speaker 1>it's a very strong card on paper. I'm sure it's
<v Speaker 1>going to be a kick ass show, but it was
<v Speaker 1>just a lot to throw at the viewer on this
<v Speaker 1>show tonight. So we'll go through the entire thing. This
<v Speaker 1>is your aw Dynamite review. It is Wednesday, August thirteenth
<v Speaker 1>to twenty twenty five. I am the Solemn Monster. Thank
<v Speaker 1>you for hanging out with me here on another Wednesday night.
<v Speaker 1>Do me a favor. Because we are less than ten
<v Speaker 1>subscribers away from eighty eight thousand, it's possible we could
<v Speaker 1>hit it tonight, So if you are not subscribed to
<v Speaker 1>the channel, please go ahead and do so. Hit that
<v Speaker 1>like button as well. I don't know if we'll hit
<v Speaker 1>the goal tonight minimum four hundred likes. If we don't,
<v Speaker 1>we don't. If we do, you know the drill we'll
<v Speaker 1>be doing our be the Booker segment later. Super chats
<v Speaker 1>are open as well. If you have questions, comments, you
<v Speaker 1>want to support the channel, get them on in. You'll
<v Speaker 1>see them popping up on your screen. There's King Kong
<v Speaker 1>Bundy wave hello. So get them on in right now
<v Speaker 1>and I will read them a little later on. So
<v Speaker 1>the show kicked off with MJF Hangman Page. He comes
<v Speaker 1>down to the ring because they were advertised for a
<v Speaker 1>face to face on tonight's show. We were also told
<v Speaker 1>by the announcers that if there was physicality between these
<v Speaker 1>two men, massive fines would be levied against them, so
<v Speaker 1>they could not touch. Otherwise, I guess Tony Kahan would
<v Speaker 1>find them and take some of that money to put
<v Speaker 1>towards these three hundred thousand dollars four hundred thousand dollars
<v Speaker 1>five hundred thousand dollars Multiman matches that he does see
<v Speaker 1>now we know how he's funding these matches. He's just
<v Speaker 1>finding people. So MJF he called Hangman the main character, right,
<v Speaker 1>you're the main character in aw If you're the main character,
<v Speaker 1>that I'm the main antagonist. He told Page that he
<v Speaker 1>knows he's at his most vulnerable when he's angry. MJF
<v Speaker 1>promised to make Page very, very angry. So Hangman took
<v Speaker 1>the bait, and he started screaming and hollering like a madman.
<v Speaker 1>He just erupted on MJF, saying that you know, you
<v Speaker 1>keep calling me Seabiscuit, but you're as because in the
<v Speaker 1>movie Steve Biscuit was a winner. So he said, MJF
<v Speaker 1>is not going to goad him into a title shot.
<v Speaker 1>You're gonna have to earn it or you're gonna have
<v Speaker 1>to cash in that Casino Gauntlet contract now. MJF pen
<v Speaker 1>Mark Brisco last week on the show. They never said
<v Speaker 1>that it was a number one contenders match, but you
<v Speaker 1>kind of assume that, Okay, whoever wins that match is
<v Speaker 1>probably going to be next to the line to challenge
<v Speaker 1>for the title. Evidently not. Evidently Hangman has the power
<v Speaker 1>to say no, no, no, you don't get a shot.
<v Speaker 1>I dictate who gets a title shot around here. So
<v Speaker 1>he said, the only way you're gonna get a shot
<v Speaker 1>is earn it. He didn't explain how MJF was supposed
<v Speaker 1>to earn it. How do you earn it? If winning
<v Speaker 1>matches doesn't earn you a title shot, how exactly do
<v Speaker 1>you earn the right to challenge this man for the championship?
<v Speaker 1>He didn't explain that. Or you're gonna have to cash
<v Speaker 1>in your contract, it's gotta be one of the other.
<v Speaker 1>MJF said that Hangman wants to talk about moral character,
<v Speaker 1>and the fans say that Hangman did nothing wrong and
<v Speaker 1>they treat him like a god. He said, screw their god.
<v Speaker 1>MJF will expose Hangman as a fraud and a weak minded, alcoholic,
<v Speaker 1>little boy said that he would break the spell that
<v Speaker 1>Page has cast on these fans in at Forbidden Door.
<v Speaker 1>He would defeat their god and crucify him. So Hangman
<v Speaker 1>told them JF that he talks as if he's already
<v Speaker 1>got the title shot. He goes, you don't because I
<v Speaker 1>refuse to take this championship and give you a shot
<v Speaker 1>at it. Hangman pressed MJF and said that he won't
<v Speaker 1>because he wants him to take a shot. Take a shot.
<v Speaker 1>He says, you won't because you want an insurance policy.
<v Speaker 1>You want to hold onto that contract because you know
<v Speaker 1>that you can't beat me. Claim that MJF prides himself
<v Speaker 1>on being an aw Day one guy, and he knows
<v Speaker 1>that aw was about being all in, and he goaded
<v Speaker 1>him into taking his shot, called him an insincere or
<v Speaker 1>insecure I should say insecure, gutlass coward. MJF is just
<v Speaker 1>fuming at this point, so he is just reeling this
<v Speaker 1>guy in and finally MJF he gets so pissed off
<v Speaker 1>that he said he just shouts at Hangman and they
<v Speaker 1>censored what he said, but he basically said, I'm cashing
<v Speaker 1>in the contract at Forbidden Door, and you could see
<v Speaker 1>the demeanor change on his face almost instantly when he
<v Speaker 1>realizes what he just did. Right, He didn't come into
<v Speaker 1>this segment with the intent to do that, but he
<v Speaker 1>realized instantly what he had done, and he could back out.
<v Speaker 1>I mean again, the way it works in aw is
<v Speaker 1>until you sign the contract, it's not valid and you
<v Speaker 1>don't cash in, it doesn't work. But he just accepted
<v Speaker 1>the challenge. He just said, this is what I'm gonna do.
<v Speaker 1>He can't back out. Now he's gonna look like a puss.
<v Speaker 1>So he realizes now the pickle that he is himself into,
<v Speaker 1>and Hangman told him he would see him at Forbidden
<v Speaker 1>Door and called him a dumbass before leaving the ring.
<v Speaker 1>You know, of all the people to call their shot
<v Speaker 1>with their money in the bank contract, which is what
<v Speaker 1>this is, just a copy of money in the bank,
<v Speaker 1>MJF is not one that I would have expected to
<v Speaker 1>call their shot in advance. His character, I mean, it's
<v Speaker 1>just he is the kind of character that you would
<v Speaker 1>expect would sneak in after a match is over. So
<v Speaker 1>the fact that they found a way to get him
<v Speaker 1>to call his shot in advance was kind of clever.
<v Speaker 1>But I like what they did here again, if you
<v Speaker 1>think about it, we had Hangman at the very beginning
<v Speaker 1>of the promo saying that MJF is not going to
<v Speaker 1>goad him right into a title match of Forbidden Door.
<v Speaker 1>I know what you're trying to do. You're trying to
<v Speaker 1>insult me, you're trying to piss me off, you're trying
<v Speaker 1>to get under my skin. So I go, okay, you're on,
<v Speaker 1>and he gets a championship match and still gets to
<v Speaker 1>hold onto the contract. So that's how the segment started
<v Speaker 1>with Hangman saying, you're not going to go me into
<v Speaker 1>a title match. By the time we got to the
<v Speaker 1>end of the segment, here he go died MJF into
<v Speaker 1>using his contract to get a title match. So he
<v Speaker 1>completely turned the tables on him here and so now
<v Speaker 1>that the match is official, and it was the match
<v Speaker 1>that made the most sense to do. But okay, now
<v Speaker 1>it's really happening, how do you do this finish? I mean,
<v Speaker 1>you can't just beat MJF and it's a one and
<v Speaker 1>done and that's it. You've got to do it in
<v Speaker 1>such a way that you can keep the issue alive.
<v Speaker 1>Maybe run the match back in Toronto next month. But
<v Speaker 1>it's too early for Hangman to be dropping the championship.
<v Speaker 1>So that's going to be a very interesting finish to
<v Speaker 1>that main event in terms of what they do, who wins,
<v Speaker 1>and how they win, and how it all goes down,
<v Speaker 1>and can you milk it for another main event next month,
<v Speaker 1>which is what I would want to do, and I
<v Speaker 1>would even consider doing a title change on that show.
<v Speaker 1>But to do want of forbidden door to me. I mean,
<v Speaker 1>I know they're in London, They're gonna have a hot crowd,
<v Speaker 1>probably a sold out crowd. That just doesn't make any
<v Speaker 1>sense to me. Now, we had John Moxley, the former
<v Speaker 1>aw World Champion, the hometown Boy, tonight one on one
<v Speaker 1>against Kevin Knight. Now, if you remember last week's show,
<v Speaker 1>Knight stepped in to help his tag team partner Speedball
<v Speaker 1>Mike Bailey after his match with Moxley, so that's set
<v Speaker 1>up tonight's match. Moxley dodged a dropkick, he tried for
<v Speaker 1>a Texas clover releaf, Night pushed him out of the ring.
<v Speaker 1>They battled on the elevated ramp in stage that they
<v Speaker 1>had at the venue. Knight dumped Moxley back to ringside
<v Speaker 1>and then he attempted a flying a flying something off
<v Speaker 1>the ramp. Moxley side stepped him and Knight went crashing
<v Speaker 1>into the barricade. That took us into the commercial break.
<v Speaker 1>Speedball tried to get involved. Marina Shaffir Wheeler you do
<v Speaker 1>they cut him off. That allowed Moxley to have his
<v Speaker 1>way with Knight. Moxley pulled him back into the ring.
<v Speaker 1>He locked in a stretch. Later on, they both climbed
<v Speaker 1>to the top rope and Moxley poked him in the
<v Speaker 1>eye knocked him off the ropes. Spring or King King,
<v Speaker 1>thinking of brody King here Night, we got Knights, we
<v Speaker 1>got kings, we got the whole fucking royal cord here.
<v Speaker 1>Knight sprang back up. He nailed the top rope superplex
<v Speaker 1>for a two count. Brody King was on this show.
<v Speaker 1>That was later, That's a later segment. Here on this show,
<v Speaker 1>Moxley hit a cutter out of nowhere. He went for
<v Speaker 1>a pile driver. Knight, though reversed it, sent Moxley into
<v Speaker 1>the ropes for a power bomb, only got a two count.
<v Speaker 1>Moxley bailed out of the ring. Night though, dove over
<v Speaker 1>the turnbuckles and out onto Moxley. You to try to
<v Speaker 1>get involved, Night kicked him away a little mule kick
<v Speaker 1>from the apron. Knight hit a DDT. He hit the
<v Speaker 1>UFO splash. Moxley, though, got the knees up and then
<v Speaker 1>he got a sleeper locked in. Knight tried his best
<v Speaker 1>to wiggle his way out of it. He was rolling
<v Speaker 1>around on the mat. They had this great overhead camera
<v Speaker 1>shot and he's rolling back and forth and Moxley just
<v Speaker 1>won't let go, and so finally Knight has no choice
<v Speaker 1>and he taps out. So it was a good match.
<v Speaker 1>Moxley initially refused to release the hold. He just kept
<v Speaker 1>it on and speedballs outside, going what are you doing? Right?
<v Speaker 1>So he gets into the ring and he pulls Moxley
<v Speaker 1>off of his partner. He gets attacked very quickly by
<v Speaker 1>Wheeler Yuda and Marina Shaffir. Now we hear the music
<v Speaker 1>and Darby Allen is here, and Darby Allen makes an
<v Speaker 1>appearance on the stage. He's got a skateboard with him,
<v Speaker 1>so Darby he gets involved here, delivers a shot to
<v Speaker 1>Utah with the skateboard. Marina clears the ringing Darby plays
<v Speaker 1>you inside of a body bag, so he climbed up top.
<v Speaker 1>He was going to do a Coffin drop to him.
<v Speaker 1>Here comes Claudiu. He comes out, intercepts Darby, pummels him.
<v Speaker 1>He gets you out of the body bag first of all,
<v Speaker 1>and then he plays Darby inside the body bag, picked
<v Speaker 1>him up on his shoulders, gave him an airplane spin,
<v Speaker 1>and then dumped him down to the mat. See. I
<v Speaker 1>never saw the Undertaker do that. Back in the day,
<v Speaker 1>Undertaker used to stuff his opponents inside of a body bag,
<v Speaker 1>and then his big move was once they were sealed
<v Speaker 1>up tight in the bag, he would hit the ropes.
<v Speaker 1>He would come off the ropes and jump up in
<v Speaker 1>the air and just stomp on them. Basically the seth
<v Speaker 1>Rolins stomp. That's what he would do. I didn't see
<v Speaker 1>the Undertaker picking the guy up and give him a
<v Speaker 1>fucking airplane spin. You to return to the ring with
<v Speaker 1>a chair. They took Darby out of the body bag.
<v Speaker 1>They wrapped the chair around his neck before Claudio could
<v Speaker 1>stomp on it. This is when a while Will Osprey appeared.
<v Speaker 1>He took out Claudio, he threw him over the barricade.
<v Speaker 1>Then he delivered a hidden blade to Wheeler Yuda. Then
<v Speaker 1>he got a microphone and Osprey is on the ropes,
<v Speaker 1>he's got the mic. He's looking at at the Death
<v Speaker 1>Riders in the crowd, and he tells Moxley, you don't
<v Speaker 1>want to accept Darby's challenge for Forbidden Door. Fine, Instead,
<v Speaker 1>he proposed that the Death Riders meet him and his
<v Speaker 1>friends in a lights out cage match in London at
<v Speaker 1>Forbidden Door. And the fans like that announcement, Moxley and
<v Speaker 1>the Death Riders not so much. If we are to
<v Speaker 1>take will Osprey seriously and take what he told us
<v Speaker 1>on television a few weeks ago at face value, that
<v Speaker 1>he is really hurt and he has two herniated discs
<v Speaker 1>in his neck. Got what he said it was C
<v Speaker 1>two and C six, whatever it was. If we are
<v Speaker 1>supposed to believe that, in fact, that is a legitimate
<v Speaker 1>injury that he has, which I believe it is. Now,
<v Speaker 1>it just seems very unwise to allow this man to
<v Speaker 1>not only be wrestling Forbidden Door, but to be wrestling
<v Speaker 1>in a lights out steel cage match. Now. I know
<v Speaker 1>him being in the ring with nine other people will
<v Speaker 1>take some of the weight off of his own shoulders,
<v Speaker 1>so it's not like a big singles match, but it
<v Speaker 1>still seems like a really bad idea, and I know,
<v Speaker 1>I assume I'm not the only one who feels this way. Evidently,
<v Speaker 1>Tony Khan is not concerned. He gotta find medical report
<v Speaker 1>and he thinks he'll be a Okay this man, come
<v Speaker 1>hell or high water, He's gonna make sure he gets
<v Speaker 1>in that ring in London if he has to drag
<v Speaker 1>his body down to the ring. He wants to be
<v Speaker 1>on that Forbidden Door show. Yeah, I feel bad for
<v Speaker 1>Eddie Kingston because Eddie Kingston has said recently that he
<v Speaker 1>was really hoping to be on the Forbidden Door card
<v Speaker 1>because he missed it last year and that's like a
<v Speaker 1>really big deal to him. And so the fact that
<v Speaker 1>he wasn't included in this match tells me that he
<v Speaker 1>has no shot at being on that show unless he
<v Speaker 1>just makes an appearance. So I kind of feel bad
<v Speaker 1>for him because I know he really wanted to be
<v Speaker 1>back in time for this, but you know he's going
<v Speaker 1>to be back in ten days wrestling. I'm not sure
<v Speaker 1>what the point was in him coming out a few
<v Speaker 1>weeks ago and making a big deal about this big
<v Speaker 1>neck injury that he has. If he was just going
<v Speaker 1>to come back in two weeks, what was the point
<v Speaker 1>of that, why you even have him go out there
<v Speaker 1>and make that kind of announcement. I don't really understand that.
<v Speaker 1>I didn't understand it the night that he came out
<v Speaker 1>and made the announcement, and he said, Tony Kahan gave
<v Speaker 1>me the floor to come out here and tell all
<v Speaker 1>you guys what I've been going through. I've been hiding
<v Speaker 1>a neck injury for ten months, Like, why would you
<v Speaker 1>even admit that? But here we are. He's going to
<v Speaker 1>be back in ten days. We'll see what goes on there.
<v Speaker 1>We'll see. I don't know. I just don't know, man,
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. But in the back later with Renee,
<v Speaker 1>Osprey announced that he got on the phone with his
<v Speaker 1>former boss. He asked him to be part of this
<v Speaker 1>match and he agreed, and so at Forbidden Door, it'll
<v Speaker 1>be Osprey teaming with Darby Allen and the Ace, Hiroshi Tanahashi,
<v Speaker 1>the former IWGP champion, the current president not only the ACE,
<v Speaker 1>but the president of New Japan Pro Wrestler, and two
<v Speaker 1>other partners. He said, to be determined. Actually it was determined.
<v Speaker 1>It was determined later in the show. They just threw
<v Speaker 1>it all out there tonight. But we'll get to that.
<v Speaker 1>He also told Renee, hey, tell your husband that I
<v Speaker 1>want to have a chat with him on next week's
<v Speaker 1>show in Scotland. They're going to be in Glasgow next week,
<v Speaker 1>so I guess we're going to get some kind of
<v Speaker 1>a face to face with him in Moxley. That's what
<v Speaker 1>Tanahashi's final UK match is gonna be. It was announced
<v Speaker 1>months ago that his final match in the UK would
<v Speaker 1>be on this show. We just didn't know who it
<v Speaker 1>would be against because remember, like John Cena, he's in
<v Speaker 1>the middle of his retirement tour. Only his his ends
<v Speaker 1>a little bit later than seen is because Tanahashi's not
<v Speaker 1>having his retirement match until the Tokyo Dome in January.
<v Speaker 1>So this is gonna be it for him in the
<v Speaker 1>UK and it's gonna be a lights out steel cage
<v Speaker 1>ten man match five on five. Again, it's a good
<v Speaker 1>way to kind of hide Tanahashi, who just I mean,
<v Speaker 1>he just can't go the way he used to. But man, uh,
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what that's gonna look like. You know,
<v Speaker 1>ten guys stuffed into one cage and one ring like
<v Speaker 1>that is It's gonna be a lot. There's gonna be
<v Speaker 1>a lot going on there, But we weren't done with
<v Speaker 1>the announcements about this match. We'll pick up with this
<v Speaker 1>again later. We had the TVs Champion merce Monet teaming
<v Speaker 1>with Tecla and Sky Blue to take on Alex Windsa
<v Speaker 1>Willow Nightingale and Queen Amanada. Tecla and Blue of the
<v Speaker 1>Triangle of Madness, that's what they call themselves, Teklas, Sky
<v Speaker 1>Blue and Julia Hart. They're the Triangle of Madness. So
<v Speaker 1>they've been making life difficult in recent weeks for Willow
<v Speaker 1>and am Nada. Alex Windsor obviously is going to be
<v Speaker 1>part of the four way match of Forbidden Door. Mercedes
<v Speaker 1>is defending the TBS title at Forbidden Door, but she's
<v Speaker 1>one of three challengers on that show. We don't yet
<v Speaker 1>know who the CMLL person is going to be, and
<v Speaker 1>we don't yet know who the challenger from Stardom is
<v Speaker 1>going to be. So just to give you a sense
<v Speaker 1>of how this match came together, this is why these
<v Speaker 1>women were involved in this match. So Timeless Tony Storm
<v Speaker 1>she also appeared. She was up in one of the balconies,
<v Speaker 1>and then Athena, who's wrestling Tony at Forbidden Door, appeared
<v Speaker 1>in another balcony. She had her contract with her that
<v Speaker 1>she's cashing in. So both people interesting, very interesting. Both
<v Speaker 1>people who won the Casino Gauntlet contracts this year are
<v Speaker 1>calling their shots in advance. Very interesting. So anyway, they
<v Speaker 1>were up in sort of opposing balconies watching this match.
<v Speaker 1>Ami Nada isolated Monette in her team's corner and Windsor
<v Speaker 1>attacked or tagged in for some side slams. Julia Hart
<v Speaker 1>tried to grab Windsor from the outside, and Monette used
<v Speaker 1>that distraction to deliver a jawbreaker from Robin Reins. Is
<v Speaker 1>all elite, says the Arizona Zombie. Can you imagine? I can't,
<v Speaker 1>Joe ANNAWAYI is all elite. I'll be all ill you'll
<v Speaker 1>be all elites. I'll be in that lights out cage
<v Speaker 1>match in ten days before Roman reigns ever sets foot
<v Speaker 1>in an aw ring. So we had just just the
<v Speaker 1>thought of it. Just the thought of it is just
<v Speaker 1>ridiculous to me. You got guys who are letting they're
<v Speaker 1>letting their contracts expire, or they're they're hitting them up
<v Speaker 1>like four days before their contract expires with an offer Roman, Like,
<v Speaker 1>I don't know when Roman's contract expires. But you have
<v Speaker 1>to imagine that probably like two years before it expires,
<v Speaker 1>they'll be in full deliberations with them over a new deal.
<v Speaker 1>Just interesting how they treat different people. Julia Hart, like
<v Speaker 1>I said, she tried to grab Windsor from the outside,
<v Speaker 1>and Monette used that as a distraction to hit a jawbreaker.
<v Speaker 1>They went to a break and they came back. Willow
<v Speaker 1>flatt and Tecla and sky Blue jumped in to get
<v Speaker 1>some revenge. Willow caught her with a death valley, though Tecla,
<v Speaker 1>Blue and Monette they got stacked up in the corner
<v Speaker 1>to take some punishment from all three opponents, ending with
<v Speaker 1>a cannon ball from Willow. Julia Hard tried to get
<v Speaker 1>involved again, but Tekla took advantage and hit Ami Nada
<v Speaker 1>from behind. Hunger up in the ropes, Windsor locked in
<v Speaker 1>a sharpshooter on Monet, who escaped, tagged in sky Blue,
<v Speaker 1>and then all hell broke loose at this point, and
<v Speaker 1>this really was a theme for a lot of the
<v Speaker 1>matches on the show tonight. There were multiple multi person
<v Speaker 1>matches that ultimately just broke broke down. Everyone brawled, it
<v Speaker 1>left only sky Blue and Windsor standing Sky put the
<v Speaker 1>sharpshooter on Or Windsor, I should say, put the sharpshooter
<v Speaker 1>on sky Blue, who was forced to tap out. So
<v Speaker 1>when the match was over, Athena and Tony storm they
<v Speaker 1>brawled up in the balcony area all the way down
<v Speaker 1>to ringside. Meanwhile, Mercedes attacked Alex Windsor. After the bell,
<v Speaker 1>Storm and Windsor they fired back. They sent the heels
<v Speaker 1>out to the floor. Tony took the microphone and made
<v Speaker 1>a challenge for a tag team match on next week's show.
<v Speaker 1>She told Athena and Mercedes they better wear something under
<v Speaker 1>their kilts, otherwise they would bear back them all over Scotland. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>that's what she said. Eddie says, the Braves are up
<v Speaker 1>eleven to six. Yess, the Mets fucking suck. The Mets
<v Speaker 1>are awful. The Mets are an absolutely atrocious, awful baseball team.
<v Speaker 1>I think I want to say they were up six
<v Speaker 1>nothing in this game. I was trying to keep tabs
<v Speaker 1>on what was going on before I went live. I
<v Speaker 1>believe they were. I want to say they were up
<v Speaker 1>six nothing, and then I think the Braves went up
<v Speaker 1>nine to six off a Grand Slam. Now apparently it's
<v Speaker 1>eleven to six. So yes, the Mets are fucking terrible.
<v Speaker 1>The less said about them the better. Absolutely, just an
<v Speaker 1>absolutely embarrassing franchise. So anyway, that's your tag team match
<v Speaker 1>now for next week's show. As far as the women
<v Speaker 1>in the match here, they did a lot with what
<v Speaker 1>little time they had. They gave them less than ten minutes.
<v Speaker 1>Much of the match took place during a commercial break,
<v Speaker 1>but the action was good. The tag team match next week,
<v Speaker 1>I think in front of that crowd in Glasgow, and
<v Speaker 1>you look at the talent in that match, and we
<v Speaker 1>have Mercedes and Athena as tag team partners for the
<v Speaker 1>first time. That's gonna be a good match. That's a
<v Speaker 1>match I'm looking forward to. Then we had Adam Copeland
<v Speaker 1>one on one with Stokely Hathaway and the rule is
<v Speaker 1>that if FTR interferes in this match and they try
<v Speaker 1>to help out Stokely, then their order of protection that
<v Speaker 1>they took out their restraining order on Adam Copeland is
<v Speaker 1>declared null and void. Now I'm no lawyer. I've watched
<v Speaker 1>a lot of legal dramas. I love me some law
<v Speaker 1>and order, especially the class law and order and law
<v Speaker 1>and Order SVU and Law and Order criminal intent. I've
<v Speaker 1>watched them all. I don't know that this is necessarily
<v Speaker 1>something that is what I would call legitimate. I need
<v Speaker 1>my lawyers to check in here, let me know, because
<v Speaker 1>this sounds very suspect to me. So a very reluctant
<v Speaker 1>Stokely Hathaway was dragged out to the ring by aw security.
<v Speaker 1>He clearly wanted no part of this. Stokely tried to
<v Speaker 1>spear Cope right from the start. Copeland just no sold it.
<v Speaker 1>He offered Stokely a free shot and then very casually
<v Speaker 1>stepped aside, which drew a very sarcastic holy shit chant
<v Speaker 1>from the crowd. Stokely then tried to be friends with Cope.
<v Speaker 1>He offered him a fist bump, and so Copeland punched
<v Speaker 1>him in the face. So he went outside, and they're
<v Speaker 1>in the crowd now, and Copeland grabs a microphone and
<v Speaker 1>he asked one fan in the crowd what they thought
<v Speaker 1>of Stokely, and the fans said, he's short, he's bald,
<v Speaker 1>and he gets no hose. Stokely, that is, it's possible.
<v Speaker 1>The fan doesn't either, but he was referring to Stokely.
<v Speaker 1>So then Copeland walked over to a woman in the crowd. Yes,
<v Speaker 1>they do have those at these wrestling shows, believe it
<v Speaker 1>or not. He walked over, he found a lady in
<v Speaker 1>the crowd, and he asked her if Stokely actually had
<v Speaker 1>a shot with her. Did Stokely have a chance to
<v Speaker 1>sleep with her? Basically? And she said hell no, he doesn't.
<v Speaker 1>Copeland kept on walking and he grabbed Stokely, and apparently
<v Speaker 1>the stand up comedy portion of this match here was
<v Speaker 1>now over, and Copeland brought Stokely back to ringside with
<v Speaker 1>him put him back in the ring. Copeland speared Stokely,
<v Speaker 1>and this is when FTR came out. So FTR comes
<v Speaker 1>out on the on the entrance ramp and they're begging
<v Speaker 1>Copeland to not murder this man. They're begging him to stop,
<v Speaker 1>so instead he speared Stokely again. FTR couldn't take it anymore.
<v Speaker 1>They ran to the ring, thus invalidating their restraining vorder.
<v Speaker 1>Copeland took out Dax, he took out Cash, went for
<v Speaker 1>a third spear on Stokely, but when he did, Stokely
<v Speaker 1>threw powder in his face, and that was a cause
<v Speaker 1>for what I assume was a disqualification. FTR laid a
<v Speaker 1>beat down on Copeland. They were about to spike him
<v Speaker 1>when Christian cage. Last time we saw Christian was what
<v Speaker 1>was it two weeks ago? Wasn't last week? Was? I
<v Speaker 1>think it was two weeks ago when Nick Wayne and
<v Speaker 1>Kip Sabian delivered that awful looking concerto to and I
<v Speaker 1>just assumed you do an angle like that, and that's
<v Speaker 1>a way to keep Christian off the show for at
<v Speaker 1>least a few weeks, and that way you can kind
<v Speaker 1>of kill the build to Forbidden Door and then bring
<v Speaker 1>him back post Forbidden Door and begin the build to
<v Speaker 1>a Cope and Christian reunion in time for Toronto. Silly me, No,
<v Speaker 1>he was back tonight. And not only was he back,
<v Speaker 1>but Christian came out with spike the wooden board with
<v Speaker 1>the nails in it that belongs to Adam Copeland. So
<v Speaker 1>he runs out to the ring with the board. He
<v Speaker 1>swings at FTR. They bail out to the floor, but
<v Speaker 1>Nick Wayne shows up with a chair. Kip Sabian showed
<v Speaker 1>up as well. I did see Mother Wayne. I saw
<v Speaker 1>it very brief, very brief. She didn't say anything, she
<v Speaker 1>didn't do anything, but Mother Wayne was there as well.
<v Speaker 1>Christian knocked the chair out of Nick's hands because he
<v Speaker 1>had a chair. He had the board. The board beats
<v Speaker 1>the chair, so he knocked the chair out of Nick
<v Speaker 1>Wayne's hands. And we also had Copeland deliver a spear
<v Speaker 1>to Kip Sabean and the heels backed off, leaving Christian
<v Speaker 1>and Copeland alone in the ring. They did the old
<v Speaker 1>deal where their backs are turned and they don't realize
<v Speaker 1>that the other guy is behind them, and they bump
<v Speaker 1>backs and unlike Tony Storm earlier she's talking about bear back,
<v Speaker 1>that they were not bear Thank god they had their
<v Speaker 1>clothing on, but or at least Christian did. But they
<v Speaker 1>bump and they turn around and they see each other. Right,
<v Speaker 1>and now what's gonna happen? What is going to happen
<v Speaker 1>now with Copeland and Christian, that's the question. Christian went. Actually,
<v Speaker 1>the first thing he did before he went to go
<v Speaker 1>leave was he handed spike to Copeland, who took the board,
<v Speaker 1>and then Christian went to go leave. Before he could
<v Speaker 1>do so, Copeland grabbed him, turned him around and gave
<v Speaker 1>him a hug, and Christian did hug him back, but
<v Speaker 1>it was Copeland who initiated it but we got the
<v Speaker 1>hug because the fans were chanting, hug it out, and
<v Speaker 1>they got the hug, and everybody popped. Christian had a
<v Speaker 1>very conflicted, confused look on his face like he still
<v Speaker 1>wasn't sold on this idea. He did not look thrilled.
<v Speaker 1>And this, I mean, look, this was inevitable. We knew
<v Speaker 1>that this was the destination. We knew the payoff was
<v Speaker 1>getting these two guys back together, but it just felt
<v Speaker 1>to me like, even though it's been teased for a while,
<v Speaker 1>it still felt rushed. It felt like this is something
<v Speaker 1>that we should have waited a few more weeks to get,
<v Speaker 1>even a couple more weeks, like coming out of Forbidden Door,
<v Speaker 1>and instead they opted to do it tonight. And we
<v Speaker 1>found out very quickly why that is because they made
<v Speaker 1>the announcement that Adam Copeland and Christian Cage, Oh they're
<v Speaker 1>back together, all right. They're back together enough that Tony
<v Speaker 1>Kahan sought fit to immediately make a tag team match
<v Speaker 1>for the pay per view, and it's going to be
<v Speaker 1>Cope and Christian against Nick Wayne and Kip Saban. That
<v Speaker 1>is official. In ten days, they will wrestle their first
<v Speaker 1>tag team match together in fourteen years. That's awfully quick
<v Speaker 1>the way they put that together. I will say this though,
<v Speaker 1>I get the vision that Tody Khan is going for here.
<v Speaker 1>I get it, and it does make sense in this respect.
<v Speaker 1>They're clearly going to move on to Cope and Christian
<v Speaker 1>and FTR titles are no titles. That's got to be
<v Speaker 1>the direction and it's coming up very soon. You got
<v Speaker 1>to wrap up this stuff first though, with Christian and
<v Speaker 1>the Patriarchy, Like, you can't just leave it, hangy, you
<v Speaker 1>gotta do Christian against Nick Wayne. You gotta do some
<v Speaker 1>sort of match to wrap up that story before Christian
<v Speaker 1>moves on to something completely different. That's what they're doing here,
<v Speaker 1>and it serves a couple of different purposes. Number One,
<v Speaker 1>it allows them to wrap up the Christian patriarchy story
<v Speaker 1>once and for all, and it also allows them to
<v Speaker 1>give Cope and Christian a win heading into what I
<v Speaker 1>presume now is going to be a championship match at
<v Speaker 1>all out because on the flip side of this, the
<v Speaker 1>finals are taking place next week where it's going to
<v Speaker 1>be FTR against Brody Kingham Bandido, and the winners of
<v Speaker 1>that match are going to challenge the Hurt Syndicate who
<v Speaker 1>are not on the show tonight. No, no Hurt Syndicate
<v Speaker 1>members at all tonight, But the Hurt Syndicate are defending
<v Speaker 1>their tag team titles against the winner of this tournament.
<v Speaker 1>You can make an argument for either team, but after
<v Speaker 1>what they did tonight, to me, there is no argument
<v Speaker 1>that team needs to be FTR. The team that goes
<v Speaker 1>on to beat the Hurt Syndicate to win the titles
<v Speaker 1>is going to be FTR. And the only question is
<v Speaker 1>do they do some sort of a draw or a
<v Speaker 1>no contest next week to allow Brody Kingham Bandido to
<v Speaker 1>get a spot in a big match on the Forbidden
<v Speaker 1>Door card where they could make it a triple threat
<v Speaker 1>match for the tag team titles. And again, Hurt Syndicate
<v Speaker 1>can drop the belts in that situation without having to
<v Speaker 1>be pinned. It's a cop out. But if there's a
<v Speaker 1>concern on their parts that hey, we don't want to
<v Speaker 1>just go in there and lose to FTR, that could
<v Speaker 1>be a workaround to that. But FTR should come out
<v Speaker 1>of Forbidden Door as the Tag Team champions and Copeland
<v Speaker 1>and Christian challenging for those titles. That now becomes the
<v Speaker 1>attraction Before the attraction was Copeland and Christian just reuniting
<v Speaker 1>and having a match at all But you've taken that away. Now,
<v Speaker 1>you're giving that to the crowd in London. You're giving
<v Speaker 1>it away a month earlier than I thought they would,
<v Speaker 1>So that alone is no longer the attraction for All Out.
<v Speaker 1>The attraction has to be Okay, they're back together and
<v Speaker 1>they're going after gold. It's been a long time since
<v Speaker 1>they've been tag team champions. That's the attraction now for
<v Speaker 1>All Out on September twentieth, so they made the finals
<v Speaker 1>here a lot more predictable than maybe it would have
<v Speaker 1>been before. It predictable as it still was. This just
<v Speaker 1>seals the deal. As far as FTR and I already
<v Speaker 1>talked about all the MVP stuff and the rumors going
<v Speaker 1>around about him rejecting pitches for FTR to win at
<v Speaker 1>All In and then to win at Forbidden Door, it's
<v Speaker 1>not his call to make again, it's not his call,
<v Speaker 1>it's not his match, it's not his company. If Tony
<v Speaker 1>Khan wants the belts on FTR, that is where the
<v Speaker 1>belt should go, regardless of what MVP or anybody else thinks.
<v Speaker 1>That is the destination period end of story. Now we
<v Speaker 1>had the Young Bucks Josh Alexander and Kyle Fletcher taking
<v Speaker 1>on Brody King, Hologram, tomohiro Esh and a mystery partner
<v Speaker 1>in a Tony Khan special. Oh yes, the only thing
<v Speaker 1>missing was the dollar amount that was up for grabs
<v Speaker 1>here in this match. There was no dollar amount, but
<v Speaker 1>it was an all star eight man tag team match.
<v Speaker 1>I've lost track of how many of these we've gotten
<v Speaker 1>in the last month. Today's episode is sponsored by Betterhelp.
<v Speaker 1>These days, it feels like there's advice for everything. Eat this,

<v Speaker 1>So a bunch of pyro shot off as someone announced
<v Speaker 1>over the PA that they had no music for the
<v Speaker 1>Young Bucks tonight, so they just came out to booze
<v Speaker 1>and laughs from the crowd. But they had video on
<v Speaker 1>the big screens, one that mentioned Slick Nick and the
<v Speaker 1>other one mentioned mister Instant Replay, which sounds like a
<v Speaker 1>character you would create in two K twenty five, But
<v Speaker 1>we were told that that was actually their original names
<v Speaker 1>and they first started wrestling on the independen scene. So
<v Speaker 1>the Mystery Man, who was the mystery Man on the
<v Speaker 1>baby face side, the Mystery Man was going to be
<v Speaker 1>the person we were told challenging Kyle Fletcher for the
<v Speaker 1>TNT Championship at Forbidden Door. It turned out to be
<v Speaker 1>Hiromu Takahashi from New Japan Pro Wrestling, and I like Horomo.
<v Speaker 1>You know, he's a great wrestler. Fans gave him a
<v Speaker 1>respectful reaction in the building tonight. It wasn't some sort
<v Speaker 1>of big blowaway announcement or anything like that. But finally
<v Speaker 1>we're getting an actual like forbidden Door aspect to this card,
<v Speaker 1>because I've been talking about how the majority of the
<v Speaker 1>card like where is the actual forbidden door influence? And
<v Speaker 1>so now we have a new japan talent challenging for
<v Speaker 1>an AW championship. So the Bucks took out Brody King
<v Speaker 1>early on. They sent him to the outside, and then
<v Speaker 1>outside they started bullying Justin Roberts for not giving them,
<v Speaker 1>I guess the introductions that they felt they deserved, and
<v Speaker 1>then they delivered a double super kick to him and
<v Speaker 1>they took out poor Justin Roberts. So meanwhile, Hologram flies
<v Speaker 1>out over the top rope. He takes out all the
<v Speaker 1>heels on the floor and they go to commercial, just
<v Speaker 1>as Doc Samson. You can see the doctor going over
<v Speaker 1>to check on Justin. When they came back, Tony Shavani
<v Speaker 1>announced that Tony Khan had fined each of the Young
<v Speaker 1>Bucks ten thousand dollars for what they had done to
<v Speaker 1>Justin Roberts. And he also said that he would be
<v Speaker 1>taking over the ring announcing for the rest of the show,
<v Speaker 1>and he said that this is the first time. So
<v Speaker 1>this is something he hasn't done on TBS since nineteen
<v Speaker 1>eighty nine. It's a long time. Nineteen eighty nine is
<v Speaker 1>actually the year he left Crockett to go work for
<v Speaker 1>the WWF. He was only there for a year, so
<v Speaker 1>I mean he must have been doing ring announcing. I
<v Speaker 1>guess maybe in January of that year. I think he
<v Speaker 1>actually went over to the WWF in February. I enjoyed
<v Speaker 1>his work there. I know Vince McMahon did not. Vince
<v Speaker 1>McMahon thought he was too southern. He hasn't liked people
<v Speaker 1>who were too southern. Somehow Jim Ross though, stood the
<v Speaker 1>test of time. But yeah, Tony said that's what he
<v Speaker 1>was told. I think Bruce Pritchard has said the same thing.
<v Speaker 1>Vince dident like he had a Southern accent. He sounded
<v Speaker 1>fine to me. Kyle Fletcher took a shot at Heromu,
<v Speaker 1>which opened him up for a shot from Brody King,
<v Speaker 1>who in Ishi. Fletcher got the knees up after Ishi
<v Speaker 1>set him up for a move, the Bucks ran in.
<v Speaker 1>They started spamming Super kicks, Alexander grabbed Takahashi and slammed
<v Speaker 1>him on the apron. Everyone was brawling. I'm not even
<v Speaker 1>going to bother recapping this because there's just no point.
<v Speaker 1>Fletcher got King up for a Young Buck assisted spike
<v Speaker 1>pile driver on the apron. Back inside, all four heels
<v Speaker 1>took turns hitting big moves on Hologram. He reversed the
<v Speaker 1>Nick Jackson her Karna and got a hot tag to Takahashi,
<v Speaker 1>who stacked up Fletcher and Alexander for a lariat in
<v Speaker 1>the corner. He went up top, but he wasn't fast enough.
<v Speaker 1>He caught Kyle Fletcher kicked to the head and the
<v Speaker 1>Bucks jumped in. They laid him out with kicks, and
<v Speaker 1>Fletcher hit a leaping tombstone and Takahashi still kicked out.
<v Speaker 1>At two, Alexander tagged in Takahashi, though reversed his attack
<v Speaker 1>into a flatliner. King rejoined the match, took out Fletcher.
<v Speaker 1>Hologram jumped on a bunch of people, Alexander and Takahashi.
<v Speaker 1>They were the only ones left standing, and Hiromu planted
<v Speaker 1>Alexander with a time bomb and got the win for
<v Speaker 1>his team, which is you know, it makes sense he's
<v Speaker 1>challenging for the title at Forbidden Door. This was their
<v Speaker 1>way of giving him a win, give him some momentum
<v Speaker 1>here going into the pay per view. But again, there
<v Speaker 1>was just a lot of craziness here during the match,
<v Speaker 1>where it just was you know, boom boom, boom, boom
<v Speaker 1>boom and NonStop actions. So there's no point in recapping
<v Speaker 1>every single aspect of it. All you need to know
<v Speaker 1>is that there's a lot of action here and Heromu
<v Speaker 1>got the win, and Hiromu ain't winning the TNT Championship
<v Speaker 1>at Forbidden Door, So the least we can do for
<v Speaker 1>this man is give him a win on this show,
<v Speaker 1>and that's what they did. Now. Renee was out on
<v Speaker 1>stage to introduce Swerve, Strickland and Prince Nana, but her
<v Speaker 1>microphone and wasn't working, so nobody heard her as she's
<v Speaker 1>standing there talking, so they quickly cut to the announcers
<v Speaker 1>who were not prepared for this, and they started to
<v Speaker 1>bs a little bit and talk about random nonsense just
<v Speaker 1>to kind of stall for time so they could get
<v Speaker 1>her mic working again. Task could barely contain his laughter
<v Speaker 1>over this whole situation. Then they cut back to Renee,
<v Speaker 1>who had to do her intro all over again, but
<v Speaker 1>at least her mic worked this time. So she asked
<v Speaker 1>if Swerve would be medically cleared for Forbidden Door, and
<v Speaker 1>I said, medically cleared? What when did this happen? We
<v Speaker 1>got will Osbury coming out of here and talking about
<v Speaker 1>how he has two herd he eight to discs and
<v Speaker 1>now we're basically getting the same story here. And in
<v Speaker 1>this case, I'm not sure if this is a worked injury.
<v Speaker 1>Maybe it's a real injury. I don't know, but now
<v Speaker 1>we're getting the same story with Swerve. So Swerve said
<v Speaker 1>he doesn't care if he is or he isn't cleared.
<v Speaker 1>His only priority is the unified champion kazuchko O Kada,
<v Speaker 1>which honestly is not much of an answer. He didn't
<v Speaker 1>really answer the question. Okada took that as a good
<v Speaker 1>time to mosey on out to his new entrance music
<v Speaker 1>and he had a stare down with Swerve. Okada said
<v Speaker 1>that Swerve has no chance thanks to his knee injury.
<v Speaker 1>Okada said he might as well give up now, but
<v Speaker 1>Swerve still question whose house it might be. That was
<v Speaker 1>just to get the crowd to start chanting you know
<v Speaker 1>whose house over and over and over again. Okata called
<v Speaker 1>him a bitch, Swerve gave him a shove, and security
<v Speaker 1>came out to keep them apart. This sucked. This segment sucked.
<v Speaker 1>A complete throwaway segment. I mean basically, Swerve comes out right,
<v Speaker 1>and the point was to tell people that he's got
<v Speaker 1>a bum knee, so they bring up the knee injury.
<v Speaker 1>Okada comes out, he calls them a bitch, they break
<v Speaker 1>them up. End of segment. Waste of time. And that's
<v Speaker 1>what this segment was. This is what they came up
<v Speaker 1>with for these two guys to do, just to get
<v Speaker 1>them on, just to get them on the show. I
<v Speaker 1>guess right. It doesn't really get any lazier than that,
<v Speaker 1>But that was the brilliant idea they came up with
<v Speaker 1>for these two men. Swerve hurt his knee, says Big Ben.
<v Speaker 1>Another legitimate injury, huh, and he's going to be wrestling great. Well,
<v Speaker 1>Look whether it's legitimate or not, it gives him an
<v Speaker 1>out when he loses, Right, If he goes in there
<v Speaker 1>and he loses to Okada, they'll just chalk it up
<v Speaker 1>to the knee injury, and then he will obviously become
<v Speaker 1>a focal point of that match. Now that will be
<v Speaker 1>the story of the match, and he'll put up a
<v Speaker 1>valiant effort and then fall short in the end, and
<v Speaker 1>they could just blame it on the knee injury. But
<v Speaker 1>whether it's a swerve or whether it's legit, I guess
<v Speaker 1>that was what they wanted to bring up here. I
<v Speaker 1>just thought the segment itself though, in Okata just coming
<v Speaker 1>out and saying, you know, just to get him to
<v Speaker 1>say bitch. I mean, it's just such a lazy fallback line.
<v Speaker 1>It's it's kind of funny sometimes. But like, I don't know,
<v Speaker 1>when this segment was over, I said, what was what
<v Speaker 1>was the point of even doing this? You could have
<v Speaker 1>had a video package where Swerve talked about his knee.
<v Speaker 1>It would have been even more effective than what we
<v Speaker 1>had here. Backstage, Alicia Attute grabbed John Moxley and the
<v Speaker 1>Death Riders as they were walking and asked if he
<v Speaker 1>had chosen his teammates for a forbidden door against will Osprey,
<v Speaker 1>Darby and Tanahashi. And by the way, like this literally
<v Speaker 1>just happened a few segments earlier, Like the challenge was
<v Speaker 1>just issued on this very show, and this man is
<v Speaker 1>being hunted down backstage. Have you come up with partners
<v Speaker 1>for your match yet? Why don't you give him a
<v Speaker 1>little bit of time to come up with it. No,
<v Speaker 1>but again they have to rush everything. We got to
<v Speaker 1>make the announcements now because we have the pay per
<v Speaker 1>view in ten days. We can't wait. We can't let
<v Speaker 1>this breathe until next week, we get We gotta get
<v Speaker 1>it all out there now. So of course he didn't
<v Speaker 1>have all of his partners lined up yet, but he
<v Speaker 1>heard tana Hashi. He didn't know about tana Hashi, and
<v Speaker 1>he made her repeat Tanahashi's name like four or five times,
<v Speaker 1>like you mean the Tanahashi, the Ace Tanahashi, that Tanahashi,
<v Speaker 1>And she said yeah, and he was like shit. So
<v Speaker 1>then he walked into the extra's locker room, where Marina
<v Speaker 1>Shafir kicked all the jobbers out before the camera panned
<v Speaker 1>over to show the Young Bucks sitting there after the
<v Speaker 1>match from earlier. Yes, the Young Bucks have been relegated
<v Speaker 1>to the extra's locker room. This bit will never not
<v Speaker 1>be amusing. I hope they continue on with this indefinitely.
<v Speaker 1>So Moxley shut the door behind them as the segment
<v Speaker 1>and the main event on this show was a trios
<v Speaker 1>match with the Ops finally back at full strength, and
<v Speaker 1>I should mention that earlier in the show as they
<v Speaker 1>were going into a commercial. I thought it was a
<v Speaker 1>commercial at first. It was a shot of whatever the city,
<v Speaker 1>like the city sky. You see the buildings and everything,
<v Speaker 1>and then there's like a spotlight and it has an
<v Speaker 1>h like send for Hook, and that's all it was.
<v Speaker 1>This just played for like fifteen seconds and then they
<v Speaker 1>went to commercial. So we're getting little vignettes now for
<v Speaker 1>the return of Hook. How he's going to factor into
<v Speaker 1>things with the Ops, we don't know, but Hook aside
<v Speaker 1>the Ops. Now the Trios champions are back at full strength.
<v Speaker 1>We had Samoa Joe back. He was teaming with Powerhouse
<v Speaker 1>Hobbs in Katiori Schabada to take on La faxion Ingo,
<v Speaker 1>Bernable Rouche, Droalistiko and the Beast Mortos. I did not
<v Speaker 1>know before today that Samoa Joe fractured his ankle while
<v Speaker 1>he was filming season two of Twisted Metal for Peacock,
<v Speaker 1>and I think season two is about to premiere, so
<v Speaker 1>it must have been months ago. I don't know when
<v Speaker 1>filming for season two ended, but apparently he fractured his ankle.
<v Speaker 1>He taped it up and he limped around for the
<v Speaker 1>rest of the season, and he continued filming because when
<v Speaker 1>you're a wrestler, that's what you do. So I don't
<v Speaker 1>know what the point was of doing the injury angle
<v Speaker 1>with him at Technic at all In Texas the way
<v Speaker 1>they did, because we haven't seen him since then. I
<v Speaker 1>don't know if he suffered another injury. I don't know
<v Speaker 1>if there was some lingering issues with his ankle, because
<v Speaker 1>up until you know, all In he was wrestling pretty regularly.
<v Speaker 1>I mean, he was around, so the ankle fracture must
<v Speaker 1>have happened many months ago, but I did not know that. Apparently,
<v Speaker 1>like for all the stunts and shit that they were
<v Speaker 1>doing on the show, the way it happened was, I
<v Speaker 1>think he got out of a car and he planted
<v Speaker 1>his foot or he took a step and it was
<v Speaker 1>like uneven terrain, and just the way he turned his
<v Speaker 1>ankle just like that fractured. It wasn't any kind of
<v Speaker 1>big stunt or bump he took or anything like that.
<v Speaker 1>But it's good to have Joe back. Technicians says. Season
<v Speaker 1>two has been out for a few weeks. Oh, it's
<v Speaker 1>already out, okay, so then they must have finished filming
<v Speaker 1>beginning of the year. It would be my guess, is
<v Speaker 1>that show any good? I didn't watch season one. I
<v Speaker 1>never really played the Twisted Metal games, so I don't
<v Speaker 1>really know from any of the characters, so I didn't
<v Speaker 1>watch the first season. It kind of annoys me that
<v Speaker 1>Joe was in the show and they don't use his voice.
<v Speaker 1>It's just very weird. I know they wanted like a
<v Speaker 1>name actor to use his voice. I forgot the name
<v Speaker 1>of the actor. But Joe is the one who was
<v Speaker 1>actually like he's playing the character. He's got the mask on,
<v Speaker 1>his mannerisms and everything, and apparently he's really good in
<v Speaker 1>doing whatever it is that he does in the show.
<v Speaker 1>But I don't know. That just kind of annoys me.
<v Speaker 1>Like Siboa, Joe's got a great voice, like I feel
<v Speaker 1>like he's got a he's like low key, he's got
<v Speaker 1>a great voice to do voiceover work or like cartoon
<v Speaker 1>character work if you wanted to do something like an
<v Speaker 1>animated series or a fucking anime or something, and they
<v Speaker 1>don't even use the guy's voice, Like what a waste.
<v Speaker 1>But anyway, so here in this match, Rush was taunting
<v Speaker 1>Joe picking up with this like midway through, Ruche was
<v Speaker 1>taunting Joe, trying to drag him into the match, but
<v Speaker 1>Joe was cut off by the referee while Rush had
<v Speaker 1>Shabata in a chinlock. Eventually, he got the hot tag
<v Speaker 1>to Hobbs, who took out the Beast Morteos and Drollistick,
<v Speaker 1>stacking them up in the corner and hitting a big
<v Speaker 1>spinebuster on Morto's. Yeah, Will Arnett, that's who it was. Yes, Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>they use Will Arnett's voice for the sweet Tooth character,
<v Speaker 1>but Joe was the one that you actually see on
<v Speaker 1>the show. Oh, Joe uses his voice in season two
<v Speaker 1>he does huh interesting? What is it like just one scene?
<v Speaker 1>Is it the entire season or is it just like
<v Speaker 1>one scene where he gets to use his actual voice.
<v Speaker 1>Roush broke up the pen attempt after Hobbs hit that
<v Speaker 1>spinebuster on Morto's. Joe Tagg didnt to take on Dralistiko,
<v Speaker 1>who tried a springboard, but he got caught in the
<v Speaker 1>coquina clutch. Hobbs kept the other team at the other
<v Speaker 1>team members at bay, and Dalistiko was forced to tap out.
<v Speaker 1>That was it. That was the main event. This did
<v Speaker 1>not feel like a Dynamite main event. It was very odd.
<v Speaker 1>I was waiting for there to be some kind of
<v Speaker 1>big angle and then there was nothing, and the baby
<v Speaker 1>Face is won. It was like seven or eight minutes.
<v Speaker 1>They got an overrun, and then they went around ringside
<v Speaker 1>and they just were celebrating and they headed to the back,
<v Speaker 1>and I'm watching this going, this can't be how the
<v Speaker 1>show ends. This might be how Collision ends. But ten
<v Speaker 1>days before the pay per view, the ops doesn't even
<v Speaker 1>have a fucking match on the show. The hell are
<v Speaker 1>they doing in the main event. It's got to be
<v Speaker 1>something more here. And then sure enough, they cut to
<v Speaker 1>the back where we see Hangman leaving through the parking
<v Speaker 1>garage when Renee cuts him off and asks about the
<v Speaker 1>title match at Forbidden Door before he gets speak. Before
<v Speaker 1>he can answer her question, he gets ambushed by MJF.
<v Speaker 1>Slams him into the hood of a car nearby, and
<v Speaker 1>he's throwing repeated punches at him on the ground. He
<v Speaker 1>tells Hangman to remember what you said about breaking me,
<v Speaker 1>or maybe it was MJF who said he was going
<v Speaker 1>to break Hangman, and I don't know it goes back
<v Speaker 1>to what they were saying in the opening segment, but
<v Speaker 1>he goes, you ain't seen nothing yet, And the show
<v Speaker 1>actually ended with a shot of the World Champion laid
<v Speaker 1>out on the ground backstage. So there was a lot
<v Speaker 1>going on here on the show tonight because there is
<v Speaker 1>a time crunch right now, right, I mean, it's not
<v Speaker 1>uptime with this forbidden door card and trying to flesh
<v Speaker 1>out all the key matches. So MJF and Hangman is official.
<v Speaker 1>We have our aw World Championship match for the pay
<v Speaker 1>per view. Cope and Christian reunited a lot earlier than
<v Speaker 1>I thought they would be. They're wrestling on the fucking
<v Speaker 1>pay per view, which I was not expecting that to
<v Speaker 1>happen this quickly, But like I said, it does make
<v Speaker 1>sense to at least wrap up the patriarchy angle of
<v Speaker 1>all this before moving on to FTR or whatever comes next.
<v Speaker 1>The Will Osprey announcement also kind of came out of
<v Speaker 1>left field, even though he said he was going to
<v Speaker 1>try to be back on that show, that it's going
<v Speaker 1>to be a big match, and so the other members
<v Speaker 1>of the match that were announced that I didn't mention
<v Speaker 1>it's going to be Will Osprey, Darby, Allen, Hiroshi, Tanahashi,
<v Speaker 1>Kenny Omega, and Kota Ibushi taking on the Death Riders
<v Speaker 1>and the Young Bucks in a lights out ten man
<v Speaker 1>steel cage match. So this is how Kenny Omega, who
<v Speaker 1>has not wrestled since he lost to Okata in Texas
<v Speaker 1>and we haven't seen Ibushi, had to be in the
<v Speaker 1>Golman match. I think he was, well, we haven't seen
<v Speaker 1>him since. Then all of a sudden we get the
<v Speaker 1>Golden Lovers are being reunited, which really wasn't even focused
<v Speaker 1>on here. It's been a while since we've seen the
<v Speaker 1>two of them as a team, and their big return
<v Speaker 1>together in Kenny Omega's Big Return is just a throwaway
<v Speaker 1>graphic on the screen. Okay, we know all the participants
<v Speaker 1>now in this match. You know you had Will Osprey
<v Speaker 1>on the show tonight when he first threw this challenge out.
<v Speaker 1>He said that it's going to be me and my
<v Speaker 1>friends and I'm we have to make some phone calls
<v Speaker 1>and whatever, and it's like before the show's even over,
<v Speaker 1>they're already announcing all the members of the match. There's
<v Speaker 1>no there's no drama, there's no nothing. So that aspect
<v Speaker 1>of it was just very thrown together. There ain't much
<v Speaker 1>of a story there as far as the addition of
<v Speaker 1>those guys to this match. I mean, honestly, but that's
<v Speaker 1>a big match, right, There's a lot of names in
<v Speaker 1>that match, a lot of name talent there. We know
<v Speaker 1>that Heromu is going to be challenging Kyle Fletcher for
<v Speaker 1>the TNT Championship this Saturday. They also they announced this previously,
<v Speaker 1>but this Saturday on Collision, there is a four way
<v Speaker 1>match to decide who challenges Zach Saber Junior for the
<v Speaker 1>IWGP World Title. It will be Nigel McGuinness at Cicero,
<v Speaker 1>Daniel Garcia, and Lee Moriarty. Hmmm, I wonder, I wonder
<v Speaker 1>who it'll be wrestling Zach Saber for the IWGP title.
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I can't figure it out. Guys, I'm
<v Speaker 1>gonna have to leave it to you. Is it. It's
<v Speaker 1>gonna it's gonna be Lee Moriarty, isn't it. Yeah? That's
<v Speaker 1>I have a feeling about that guy. So anyway, we'll
<v Speaker 1>get Zach Saber Junior against Nigel McGinnis on that show
<v Speaker 1>for the IWGP title. And next week is the finals
<v Speaker 1>of the Tag Team Tournament. FTR against Brody King and Bandido.
<v Speaker 1>The winners will challenge the Hurt Syndicate for the AW
<v Speaker 1>Tag Team titles, and Mercedes on next week's show is
<v Speaker 1>tagging with Athena to take on Timeless, Tony Storm and
<v Speaker 1>Alex Winsa. I love that name, Alex Winsa. There you go,
<v Speaker 1>and that should be a fun show next week. I
<v Speaker 1>have a feeling I don't know how many tickets they
<v Speaker 1>have sold. I haven't checked, but to be their first
<v Speaker 1>time doing TV in Scotland, I think that crowd's going
<v Speaker 1>to be all amped up for that show Forbidden Door.
<v Speaker 1>I mean anytime they go to London, whether it's Wembley
<v Speaker 1>or a smaller venue like this, the crowds there are
<v Speaker 1>fantastic and they have a lot of AW fans over there.
<v Speaker 1>You know, they've sold over fifteen thousand tickets for this
<v Speaker 1>show already, so we're heading into a period now. I
<v Speaker 1>know not everybody is into the Forbidden Door stuff. There
<v Speaker 1>are people who just like check out of AW programming
<v Speaker 1>around this time because they just don't like the concept
<v Speaker 1>or they don't follow these other promotions so they don't
<v Speaker 1>really care. Some of the stories in AW maybe have
<v Speaker 1>to go on hold while they do all this other stuff.
<v Speaker 1>But we're heading into this period now where they're doing
<v Speaker 1>TV and they're doing Forbidden Door internationally. Those shows should
<v Speaker 1>be fun. It's going to look a lot different and
<v Speaker 1>sound a lot different than some of these really small
<v Speaker 1>venues that they've been running. So I'm hoping we get
<v Speaker 1>it a couple of weeks of fun TV out of it.
<v Speaker 1>But many did. They did a rush job on some
<v Speaker 1>things tonight that they did. We do a rush job
<v Speaker 1>here on this poll? How would you grade Dynamite from
<v Speaker 1>Cincinnati A, B, C or D. Let's check out the
<v Speaker 1>report card here. Twenty one point six percent give this
<v Speaker 1>show an A, twenty two point eight percent to give
<v Speaker 1>this show a B, twenty one point seven percent give
<v Speaker 1>this show AC, and the winner with thirty through almost
<v Speaker 1>thirty four percent of the vote give this show a D.
<v Speaker 1>Why does that say from Cincinnati CV? What the fuck?
<v Speaker 1>I didn't even realize I misspelled? But where'd the CV
<v Speaker 1>come from? I give the spelling in this tweet a
<v Speaker 1>D at Solomon so you can go to vote. Now
<v Speaker 1>take a look at this. I was playing around with
<v Speaker 1>this and I got my old view back here for
<v Speaker 1>the Superchats very excited about this. Don't tell them they
<v Speaker 1>told me that it was impossible. Oh yeah, fuck you
<v Speaker 1>and always find a way. But we got to start
<v Speaker 1>with the early superchats first, So that's what we're gonna
<v Speaker 1>do and get them on in before we get out
<v Speaker 1>of here. We are currently sitting by the way at
<v Speaker 1>three hundred and twenty five likes, so that that just
<v Speaker 1>ain't gonna cut it for be the booker tonight. Unfortunately. Well,
<v Speaker 1>let's go through your messages here and we'll start with
<v Speaker 1>our good friend, terrible dried Chicken without flavor, Cincinnati Cardinal
<v Speaker 1>violence or Carnival violin. That's the best you can come
<v Speaker 1>up with, Carnival violence. He He hates to say this,
<v Speaker 1>but WWE is taking this counterprogramming against AW too far.
<v Speaker 1>John Seen, his last match could potentially go head to
<v Speaker 1>head against AW World's End. Yeah, I'm still thinking that
<v Speaker 1>the Saturday Night's main event show in December will be
<v Speaker 1>on the thirteenth, not the twenty seventh. We'll see, but yeah,
<v Speaker 1>it's possible if they run the twenty seventh, that's the
<v Speaker 1>same night as World's End. John Seen his final match,
<v Speaker 1>he says, deserves a standalone show. They should have gone
<v Speaker 1>with my idea that I proposed at the very beginning
<v Speaker 1>of the year. But what the hell do I know?
<v Speaker 1>He says, I'll tell you who can comfort Stokely Hathaway
<v Speaker 1>tonight who I have no idea. I'll tell you how
<v Speaker 1>Drew McIntyre can get more heat on himself. Here's the pitch.
<v Speaker 1>Drew attacks Cody backstage and steals the Rolex watch. We
<v Speaker 1>already saw Drew stealing a bracelet. I have no interest
<v Speaker 1>in seeing him steal a Rolex watch. James Gunn should
<v Speaker 1>cast Harley Cameron as Harley Quinn in the DC universe.
<v Speaker 1>I'd be okay with that. I think Harley. I think
<v Speaker 1>Harley could have a career for herself doing certain types
<v Speaker 1>of certain ty. I was gonna say she could have
<v Speaker 1>a career doing certain types of movies. I mean, legitimate movies.
<v Speaker 1>Didn't come out the way that I wanted it to,
<v Speaker 1>but she's very talented. Joseph Brooks says, do you think that,
<v Speaker 1>just like Matt Hardy did what was unexpected by I
<v Speaker 1>don't know what that word is suppose to be overtaking
<v Speaker 1>maybe Jeff Hardy in popularity in a way. Christian has
<v Speaker 1>done the same with Edge. Oh you mean like how
<v Speaker 1>Matt Hardy with the broken stuff at one point was yeah, yeah,
<v Speaker 1>I mean Christian. Though Christian is off the peak from
<v Speaker 1>where like when he reached his peak as a heel
<v Speaker 1>and Aw, we're not there anymore. He hasn't really had
<v Speaker 1>that same level of momentum that his character had for
<v Speaker 1>a while now. Joseph says, cherish, keep borrow and sell.
<v Speaker 1>Let me just see if we are. We're not caught
<v Speaker 1>up yet, Cherish, keep borrow sell on the best number
<v Speaker 1>two promotions that came after the death of wcw AWT
<v Speaker 1>and A Luca Underground Ring of Honor, I mean you
<v Speaker 1>gotta go, I gotta go AW for me. It's Luca
<v Speaker 1>Underground honestly, then Ring of Hoondor then TNA. Ryan Hood says,
<v Speaker 1>A good God, mother, Wayne. You know there's a mother, Wayne,
<v Speaker 1>super Chat, you didn't trigger it. It makes me very sad.
<v Speaker 1>Joseph brooks buyer sella which promotional partner Slash Ownerships have
<v Speaker 1>done the best using the luchadors WW and Triple A
<v Speaker 1>or AW and CML I mean AW and CMLL. Today's
<v Speaker 1>episode is sponsored by Hymns coming out of SummerSlam. Last week,

<v Speaker 1>You know, it's a cosmetic business that they're in. This

<v Speaker 1>same thing who are not public figures, they are not
<v Speaker 1>on television in front of millions of people, but they
<v Speaker 1>can still feel that same shame, and they shouldn't because
<v Speaker 1>there's nothing to be ashamed of. Thinning hair is a

<v Speaker 1>Seal Kiss from a Rose from Batman Forever? And did
<v Speaker 1>you own the Batman Forever soundtrack? I did not own
<v Speaker 1>the Batman Forever soundtrack, but I like the song. It
<v Speaker 1>was very popular on the radio at one point, and
<v Speaker 1>I was singing along. You know, Also, who is your
<v Speaker 1>favorite character from Batman Forever? I don't know who was
<v Speaker 1>in Batman Forever. I get them all mixed up. Batman
<v Speaker 1>Forever was that the one with the Riddler? Jim Carrey
<v Speaker 1>was that Batman Forever. I'll go with him. I can't
<v Speaker 1>keep track of all these movies. There's so many fucking movies.
<v Speaker 1>There's so many Batman movies with different Batman's and every
<v Speaker 1>single one of them. I don't fucking know. If you
<v Speaker 1>owned a wrestling company, would Psycho, Sid Vicious and Raven
<v Speaker 1>be your top two stars that you would build your
<v Speaker 1>wrestling company around. That's very oddly specific. Sid would be
<v Speaker 1>Sid would be the guy sure Raven know Sid? Possibly? Yes?
<v Speaker 1>What an odd combination though? Also, do you know, oh,
<v Speaker 1>he's got a bunch of them? Holy shit, look at
<v Speaker 1>Joseph Man. He is just on a tear tonight. Man.
<v Speaker 1>Do you remember when Vanpiro shaved all of Raven's hair
<v Speaker 1>off in TNA? I don't. Also, do you know why
<v Speaker 1>Stone Cold Steve Austin was dressed up as Hull Cogan
<v Speaker 1>cutting a promo in ECW. Yeah, because Hogan didn't want
<v Speaker 1>to work with him in WCW. All those ECW promos
<v Speaker 1>were just him venting all of his frustrations from his
<v Speaker 1>WCW run. A terrible dried chicken without flavor with a
<v Speaker 1>twelve dollars super chat by herself for a slap in
<v Speaker 1>pro wrestling that looks very personal. Nunzio slapping brock Less
<v Speaker 1>D're in the back of the head in twenty twenty
<v Speaker 1>oh three, or Travis Scott busting Cody Roads in the
<v Speaker 1>ear drum in twenty twenty five. I don't remember the
<v Speaker 1>Nunzio one. Travis Scott was just not trained, not smartened up,
<v Speaker 1>and just fucking slapped the shit at a Cody and
<v Speaker 1>ruptured his ear drum, which was completely reckless and unnecessary
<v Speaker 1>for him to do. So I'll go with the Travis
<v Speaker 1>Scott one kind of by Defaultier Joseph says, buy or
<v Speaker 1>sell Don West or Joey styles Don West. If WCW
<v Speaker 1>was still around today, do you think Dominic Mysterio would
<v Speaker 1>be in WCW instead of WWE. It's impossible to know.
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna say no, he would be in ww A.
<v Speaker 1>That's where his father would want him, and that is
<v Speaker 1>where his father would be, and that is where he
<v Speaker 1>would be. Also, did you play any ECW video games?
<v Speaker 1>I think they only had the one right from Acclaim
<v Speaker 1>and no, I didn't play it. Here we got to see.
<v Speaker 1>Now we're caught up. Look at that. If Raven was
<v Speaker 1>still in WCW when Vince Russo joined, do you think
<v Speaker 1>Raven would have become WCW champion under Vince Russo? I
<v Speaker 1>can tell you're a very big Raven fan. I don't know.
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what Russo's opinion was of Raven. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>don't I don't know. I'm gonna say no on that.
<v Speaker 1>Ed Swaggle with thirty one months of channel membership a
<v Speaker 1>sound of gamer idea. Take the best, be the booker
<v Speaker 1>matches that you can possibly do in two K twenty five.
<v Speaker 1>Do CPU versus CPU and commentate over them better than
<v Speaker 1>doing the Tavish bs. Don't remind me of Tavish. That's
<v Speaker 1>a potential idea that could be something what about me?
<v Speaker 1>What about or what about one of them? Jack Cheng,
<v Speaker 1>Bata Bing, Joseph Stewart, Buyer sell Hollywood Hogan or mister McMahon.
<v Speaker 1>I'll assume you're talking top heels of all time and
<v Speaker 1>not upstanding citizens. Top heel of all time is mister McMahon.
<v Speaker 1>Dry Chicken says, brother Bro Brother Oose brov Bro. Wrestling
<v Speaker 1>is a brotherhood. It is a very brotherly fraternity in
<v Speaker 1>pro wrestling. When Zilla called me Oose the last time,
<v Speaker 1>when I saw Zilla at the last Hog Show and
<v Speaker 1>he was on a rampage after losing to Bully and
<v Speaker 1>he called me Oose, I felt like I was officially
<v Speaker 1>inducted into the uh. I'm now part of the family tree. Now.
<v Speaker 1>I don't know where I fit in the family tree,
<v Speaker 1>but I am officially an Oose. I'm honored. Doctor Scorpio says,
<v Speaker 1>I honestly thought Tanahashi already retired. I didn't know he
<v Speaker 1>was still wrestling. Doctor Scorpio is out to lunch. Apparently
<v Speaker 1>his last match here, his last match there, last match
<v Speaker 1>in the US I think was back in April. Has
<v Speaker 1>been doing that all year. Come on, man, where have
<v Speaker 1>you been? Joseph Stewart, in your opinion, do you think
<v Speaker 1>Hulk Hogan is the greatest baby face or heel of
<v Speaker 1>all time or his stone Cold the greatest baby face
<v Speaker 1>of all time. I don't know who the greatest baby
<v Speaker 1>face of all time is. Honestly, I just told you
<v Speaker 1>who the greatest heel of all time is, so I've
<v Speaker 1>already answered that one. Hogan to me, and I didn't
<v Speaker 1>realize it as a kid, but it became more obvious
<v Speaker 1>to me as the years went on that Hogan was
<v Speaker 1>always a heel, but he was masquerading as a baby
<v Speaker 1>face because even when he was a top babyface, he
<v Speaker 1>was doing heel stuff all the time. Yeah, I don't
<v Speaker 1>know who the greatest baby face of all time is.
<v Speaker 1>I don't think it's not Hulk Hogan. I know it's
<v Speaker 1>not Huole Cogan. Stone Cold is in the running. It's
<v Speaker 1>so weird because Stone Cold never actually did anything to
<v Speaker 1>be a babyface. Like, how do you define the greatest babyface?
<v Speaker 1>What does that mean? Do they have to act like
<v Speaker 1>a babyface where they don't take a short cut, they
<v Speaker 1>don't cheat right, they're very honorable, do things the right way?
<v Speaker 1>Or is it just based on whoever gets the loudest
<v Speaker 1>reactions from the crowd. I don't even know what that means.
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what the criteria is for that. There
<v Speaker 1>have been a lot of great babyfaces. Ricky Steamboat. Ricky
<v Speaker 1>Steamboat is one of the few top maybe the only
<v Speaker 1>top name I could think of off the top of
<v Speaker 1>my head. Who was never a heel? How many people
<v Speaker 1>would really fall into that category. At one point he
<v Speaker 1>wanted to go heal. He was such a great baby
<v Speaker 1>face that Pat Patterson said, they'll never buy into it.
<v Speaker 1>You can't go heal. It's not possible. You're too good
<v Speaker 1>of a babyface. What about Steamboat? There you go? So
<v Speaker 1>no one mentioned Ricky Steamboat. Can't you can't. You can't
<v Speaker 1>ignore it. You can't ignore it. Joseph Stewart says, have
<v Speaker 1>you seen the movie Small Soldiers? No? I have not.
<v Speaker 1>Terrible Dried Chicken. Imagine MJF misses his flight on purpose
<v Speaker 1>for forbidden door. He just no shows. I have to
<v Speaker 1>send a ton of Hashi back out there. We need you,
<v Speaker 1>We need you, a ton of hashi or Mash Terrible
<v Speaker 1>Tried Chicken says, it's the good Son's scenario. Save one
<v Speaker 1>and let the other one go. Mother Wayne or ash
<v Speaker 1>by elegance, goodbye Ash. It was nice knowing you, Stephen.
<v Speaker 1>Did you hear about the guy who dipped, who dipped
<v Speaker 1>balls and glitter? Pretty nuts. That's something you did, didn't you.
<v Speaker 1>It's okay, you can admit it. This sounds like something
<v Speaker 1>Stephen may have tried. Brandon Proctor with the twenty one
<v Speaker 1>congrats on eighty eight K. Did we hit eighty eight?
<v Speaker 1>We were only a few away, but I have not
<v Speaker 1>checked since I went live. Yes, we did, very cool.
<v Speaker 1>Thank you for the update. Eighty eight thousand subscribers. Now
<v Speaker 1>on to eighty nine, He says, here's to eighty nine K,
<v Speaker 1>and the journey to one hundred continues. Either Osprey is
<v Speaker 1>actually hurting, Tony Khan is going to let him wrestle,
<v Speaker 1>or it's a bait and switch, which Tony Khan doesn't
<v Speaker 1>normally do. Ospray, It's not an angle. Osprey's hurt. Osprey's hurt.
<v Speaker 1>It is as serious as he said it was. That
<v Speaker 1>is not a work. That is not a swerve, That
<v Speaker 1>is not an angle. I don't know about the swerve injury,
<v Speaker 1>but no, Osprey's hurt and they were allowing him to wrestle.
<v Speaker 1>Joseph says, have you seen the Inspector Gadget movie with
<v Speaker 1>Matthew Broderick as Inspector Gadget No. I was a big
<v Speaker 1>fan of the cartoon when I was younger, so big
<v Speaker 1>Inspector Gadget Guy loved the theme song for the show.
<v Speaker 1>Had all the Toys? Never saw the movie? Also, have
<v Speaker 1>you seen the movie Cruel Intentions with Sarah Michelle Gaeller
<v Speaker 1>and Ryan Philippe and Reese Witherspoon and Selma Blair. Yes,
<v Speaker 1>I did. I also saw Wild Thing wild Thing or
<v Speaker 1>Wild Things with Nev Campbell Denise Richards. You know we
<v Speaker 1>were talking about movie soundtracks before. The soundtrack to that
<v Speaker 1>movie is a vibe. I like that soundtrack. Dry Chicken
<v Speaker 1>says in an alternate universe the Rock instead of talking
<v Speaker 1>about Mama Rhodes, he got his eyes on Mama Wayne. Well,
<v Speaker 1>I don't think that Mother Wayne would be able to
<v Speaker 1>resist the final boss. The Hurt Syndicate should invade New
<v Speaker 1>Japan for gold. Well, they're going to lose their titles
<v Speaker 1>at Forbidden Door, so then I guess after that, if
<v Speaker 1>they want to, they can go after the IWGP Tag
<v Speaker 1>Team titles. Emperor Comic sixth century BCE King created the
<v Speaker 1>earliest known breakup letter. In short, he wasn't happy about
<v Speaker 1>this lady visiting his friend a lot. The lady had
<v Speaker 1>till the end of the month pick up her stuff. Okay,
<v Speaker 1>thank you, Emperor. Comic sixth century BC BCE Joseph Stewart says,
<v Speaker 1>what is your favorite scene in Batman Forever? Oh? My god, again,
<v Speaker 1>I I let me see which one this was. It's
<v Speaker 1>the one thinking of with mister Freeze. Uh yeah, I
<v Speaker 1>think it was. Yeah, what Schwarzenegger is mister Freeze in
<v Speaker 1>that movie with with with Jim Carrey. I don't have
<v Speaker 1>a favorite scene from that movie. It's definitely not my
<v Speaker 1>favorite Batman movie. Emperor comment, I'll hold the l I
<v Speaker 1>went to articles to fact check my previous comment, but
<v Speaker 1>a friend of mine said it wasn't true. My apologies,
<v Speaker 1>so it was just like a random factoid. That's what
<v Speaker 1>happens sometimes. It's the Internet, all good. Mactub. Do you
<v Speaker 1>think Austin would have continued to draw as a megastar level,
<v Speaker 1>at a megastar level like Rock if not for the
<v Speaker 1>neck injury? And who would you like to see him
<v Speaker 1>feud within the attitude era? Well, he's from the attitude era,
<v Speaker 1>he says, ruthless aggression era. I think Austin and Randy
<v Speaker 1>Orton would have been, but see Randy Orton when he
<v Speaker 1>was a little more seasoned. Not two thousand and two
<v Speaker 1>Randy Orton, but like two thousand and four. You know,
<v Speaker 1>Orton worked that match with Mick Foley that was huge
<v Speaker 1>for his career. I think him working with Austin would
<v Speaker 1>have helped elevate his games. So, you know, Austin and
<v Speaker 1>Randy Orton, Austin and brock lesnar Man. I would have
<v Speaker 1>loved to see more matches with Austin and Kurt Angle.
<v Speaker 1>Obviously Kurt was a machine like two thousand and two,
<v Speaker 1>two thousand and three Kurt very different than two thousand
<v Speaker 1>and one Kurt, which is when Austin worked with him.
<v Speaker 1>So all of those match or matches I would have
<v Speaker 1>loved to have seen. As far as would he have
<v Speaker 1>continued to draw as a megastar. The heel turn. The
<v Speaker 1>heel turn hurt him in two thousand and one. You know,
<v Speaker 1>when he came back in two thousand and two, he
<v Speaker 1>was still very popular, but it was not like the
<v Speaker 1>he was off the peak. He was not going to
<v Speaker 1>be at the level that he was previously. He still
<v Speaker 1>would have been the top babyface in the company. Right
<v Speaker 1>next to Rock. Rock went on to do movies, and
<v Speaker 1>so that's why Rock came off as this big megastar.
<v Speaker 1>I didn't see Austin going on to do movies like Rock.
<v Speaker 1>Austin was doing these like B and C level movies.
<v Speaker 1>And I'm not knocking him because I saw some of
<v Speaker 1>those movies. I enjoyed some of those movies. But you
<v Speaker 1>say megastar, Rock was a megastar because he started branching
<v Speaker 1>out into Hollywood. That's not anything Austin would have been doing.
<v Speaker 1>But there was definitely value in keeping Austin around. Had
<v Speaker 1>he been able to stay healthy, he would have been
<v Speaker 1>able to work with all those guys. Same thing with Brett.
<v Speaker 1>If Brett didn't get hurt. If Brett didn't have the stroke,
<v Speaker 1>Brett would have been back in w WE a lot
<v Speaker 1>sooner than he was, and Brett would have been in
<v Speaker 1>there working with Kurt Angle and brock Lesnar and Eddie
<v Speaker 1>Guerrero and Chris Jericho and Randy Orton and John Cena
<v Speaker 1>and Sean Michaels. They would have had another WrestleMania match.
<v Speaker 1>We were deprived of all of these matches that Brett still,
<v Speaker 1>you know, would have been able to have. Yeah, he
<v Speaker 1>was older, but if he was healthy, think of all
<v Speaker 1>the matches that we got we got screwed out of.
<v Speaker 1>But I think Rock would have you know, as as
<v Speaker 1>those years went on O two oh three, It's it's tough.
<v Speaker 1>Rock wasn't full time. It's it just depends on if
<v Speaker 1>Austin was full time or not. I think Rock's status
<v Speaker 1>is his star status would have outshined Austin, so he
<v Speaker 1>would have been a bigger star than him. Uh rank
<v Speaker 1>the following WrestleMania main events three, seventeen and forty. I
<v Speaker 1>mean in terms of like personal enjoyment, I would go
<v Speaker 1>forty seventeen and three in terms of my own personal enjoyment,
<v Speaker 1>obviously not anybody else's personal enjoyment, because I don't give
<v Speaker 1>a shit, give a shit about my personal enjoyment. Terrible
<v Speaker 1>dry Chicken, Mother, Wayne will Comfort, Chocolate, Stokely tonight you Joseph,
<v Speaker 1>Joseph is a beast tonight. I don't know what's gotten
<v Speaker 1>into Joseph, but I love it. Do you remember Seal's
<v Speaker 1>Kiss from a Rose music video with Steal singing in
<v Speaker 1>front of the bat signal and Batman Forever Seeing showed
<v Speaker 1>in the music I do remember this you. I gotta say, man,
<v Speaker 1>you are a huge fan of Batman forever. I think
<v Speaker 1>like half a dozen different super chats from you tonight
<v Speaker 1>have been about Batman forever. I could tell that it's
<v Speaker 1>your favorite movie. That is not my favorite song, thank you, Eminem,
<v Speaker 1>But I could tell I know exactly what your favorite
<v Speaker 1>movie is. I do remember the music video. I do
<v Speaker 1>you know I mentioned the other night? Was it last week?
<v Speaker 1>Maybe we had that whole music discussion and I mentioned
<v Speaker 1>Iris by the Google Dolls. I'm almost positive that there
<v Speaker 1>was a music video. Maybe it was for the song,
<v Speaker 1>but from that movie Fuck City of Angels was a
<v Speaker 1>City of Angel with Meg Ryan. I don't know if
<v Speaker 1>it was the official music video for the song or
<v Speaker 1>something connected to the movie specifically, but I remember I
<v Speaker 1>always associate that song with that movie. Eminem. Did someone
<v Speaker 1>say Nick Wayne's Mom? Based on tonight's show, I think
<v Speaker 1>Tony Kahan might need that head writer back, or at
<v Speaker 1>least get someone that has more knowledge than him. Ronald
<v Speaker 1>McDonald can run a better show than Tony Khan. Well,
<v Speaker 1>what was your overarching issue with the show? He didn't
<v Speaker 1>say what the issue was with the show. Drew Mackincock
<v Speaker 1>with thirty months of membership, Buy or sell Demeter Bullian
<v Speaker 1>or the guy who sent the Bukhaki forgot his name
<v Speaker 1>the BUKACKI goes, that's Abusika. Of course, I'm gonna go
<v Speaker 1>with my even though he hasn't popped up recently. I
<v Speaker 1>gotta show love for our boy Abusika. Of course to
<v Speaker 1>meet her. Bullying is on the other channel, eminem Encore.
<v Speaker 1>Now that carrying, I mean Killer Across and Scarlet are
<v Speaker 1>free agents. Could we see them at h og If
<v Speaker 1>Scarlett starts back up her only fans, then there's a chance.
<v Speaker 1>Wwe did not want to re sign them. All I'll
<v Speaker 1>say is stay tuned. You never know what conversations are
<v Speaker 1>happening taking place. I'm not really at liberty to discuss.
<v Speaker 1>I would love to get them in. We'll see Joseph Stewart.
<v Speaker 1>Did you know if Tim Burton had directed bah My God?
<v Speaker 1>Did you know if Tim Burton had directed Batman Forever?
<v Speaker 1>Michael Keaton would have played Batman, Billy D. Williams would
<v Speaker 1>have played two Face, and Robin Williams would have played
<v Speaker 1>the Riddler. Robin Williams as the Riddler sounds awesome, well,
<v Speaker 1>now I wish Tim Burton had directed Batman forever. I
<v Speaker 1>think Joseph has the deluxe edition of the DVD. All
<v Speaker 1>the Bonus features Arabian Night, Great Cross interview with Ariel.
<v Speaker 1>It's not a work AW Warts and All is the
<v Speaker 1>best landing spot for him in my opinion, just in
<v Speaker 1>terms of money and overall TV exposure, I disagree. I
<v Speaker 1>don't think he would be good fit for AW. I mean, look,
<v Speaker 1>if they're interested in him and he wants to go there,
<v Speaker 1>I hope it works out. But in terms of like
<v Speaker 1>Tony Kahn actually booking Killer Cross, I don't see it.
<v Speaker 1>I don't see it. Doctor Scorpio barely been watching or
<v Speaker 1>listening about any wrestling at all the past year or so,
<v Speaker 1>so I did not know. My bad. Well, you got
<v Speaker 1>to pay more attention to these streams. You don't have
<v Speaker 1>to watch. I watch, so you don't have to. Just
<v Speaker 1>got to keep up with the streams. Man, and of
<v Speaker 1>course the main podcast, Terrible Dry Chicken will Osbury pulling
<v Speaker 1>a Cody Rhodes during this lights out steel cage match, yeah,
<v Speaker 1>I mean he's gonna do something insane. He's gonna do
<v Speaker 1>something very, very stupid, and no one is going to
<v Speaker 1>stop him there, that's the problems. Viz went to a
<v Speaker 1>costume party dressed as a screwdriver. Turned a few heads.
<v Speaker 1>Your driver, you get it, you turn yourn whatever, Thank
<v Speaker 1>you deaths. That was a good one, turned a few heads.
<v Speaker 1>Brandon Proctor by bait and switch, I mean him wrestling.
<v Speaker 1>I ain't gonna make me go back and remind myself
<v Speaker 1>what was said in the original super chat. So I
<v Speaker 1>know what you're talking about. I see Ospry. Yeah, it's
<v Speaker 1>not a bait and switch. That is something that Tony
<v Speaker 1>Kahan does not do. He does not bait and switch
<v Speaker 1>when he announces a match, unless somebody gets hurt and
<v Speaker 1>he has to cancel the match, or there's travel problems
<v Speaker 1>or something like. He doesn't bait and switch the audience.
<v Speaker 1>So if he says will Ospreys wrestling at forbidden Door,
<v Speaker 1>it's not a swerve. It's not an angle. You know.
<v Speaker 1>They may do something to like try to limit what
<v Speaker 1>he does in the match, But is he really gonna
<v Speaker 1>limit himself to what he's gonna do in this match?
<v Speaker 1>Of course not. He's gonna do something very stupid and
<v Speaker 1>probably hurt himself even worse. Joseph Stewart Batman and Robin
<v Speaker 1>was with Arnold Schwarzenegger as mister Freeze and Uma Thurman
<v Speaker 1>as Poison Ivy okay, So that was the one I
<v Speaker 1>was thinking of. Eminem with the twenty five, says Brian
<v Speaker 1>Danielson's wife against Nick Wayne's mom. My Bookie should book
<v Speaker 1>this fight. With rumors of Naomi possibly pregnant, does vacant
<v Speaker 1>get the Women's World Championship? And do we see a
<v Speaker 1>multi women's match at Clash in Paris? Let's wait until
<v Speaker 1>tomorrow and see what the situation is instead of spreading
<v Speaker 1>rumors about whether she is or isn't if not, Eo
<v Speaker 1>Sky against Stephanie Vicaire is just right there. It's right there.
<v Speaker 1>You don't need to do anything else right there. You
<v Speaker 1>don't need some multi person fucking gauntlet, fucking you know,
<v Speaker 1>overbook match. It's as simple as simple could be. But
<v Speaker 1>Naomi and Jimmy usso recorded a podcast interview with Stephanie
<v Speaker 1>McMahon that is dropping tomorrow, so I suspect we will
<v Speaker 1>know more about this tomorrow. Gives goo, says damn. Did
<v Speaker 1>Jimmy get jealous of Naomi? Maybe that's what happened Jimmy's like, man,
<v Speaker 1>she's more over than I am. I'll fix this. They
<v Speaker 1>don't call me Big Jim for nothing. Mactub, What did
<v Speaker 1>Triple H lack to be the guy like Sina and Roman?
<v Speaker 1>He's boring, there's nothing interesting about him. His promos were boring.
<v Speaker 1>It's a fine wrestler, but there are guys that have it.
<v Speaker 1>You cannot define what it is. You either have it
<v Speaker 1>or you do not have it. He did not have
<v Speaker 1>it in the same way that the Rock had it.
<v Speaker 1>He did not have it in the same way that
<v Speaker 1>Hogan had it. He didn't have charisma the way that
<v Speaker 1>Hogan and Rock had. Charisma is a very big part
<v Speaker 1>of it. Triple H had charisma in his own way.
<v Speaker 1>There's different forms of charisma. But I always said, for years,
<v Speaker 1>I've always said he was the guy who worked with
<v Speaker 1>the guy. Even when they positioned him on top as
<v Speaker 1>the guy, he was the guy who worked with the guy.
<v Speaker 1>And that's not a bad spot to be in. Not
<v Speaker 1>everybody can be you know, a number one, Not everybody
<v Speaker 1>can be the guy. Whatever it is that they had,
<v Speaker 1>he didn't have. No matter how hard Wwe tries to
<v Speaker 1>convince you that he had it. He did not. Joseph Steward,
<v Speaker 1>did you know ed beg Is it Bigley or Begley?
<v Speaker 1>It was Begley Junior was in Batman Forever. He played
<v Speaker 1>the Riddler's boss. Yeah, I'm pretty sure I did know
<v Speaker 1>that he was in that movie. I mean I saw
<v Speaker 1>the movie. I just I don't remember who was in
<v Speaker 1>some of these minor roles in the movie. But yeah,
<v Speaker 1>that's right he was. Was he a scientist or something
<v Speaker 1>like at the beginning, He's not the one that Jim
<v Speaker 1>Carrey rolled out out the window of the skyscraper? Is
<v Speaker 1>he doctor Scorpio was gonna make another clock pun? But
<v Speaker 1>I didn't want to waste your time. Sorry, I hate
<v Speaker 1>to I hate to nitpick. But he spelled it w
<v Speaker 1>A I s t w A ST. I'm just saying
<v Speaker 1>Joseph with A five. Uh. Let's see here. Uh we
<v Speaker 1>have Frost better off without w w A, at least
<v Speaker 1>promo wise. If he goes back, he's going to be
<v Speaker 1>jobbed into oblivion. If not, sorry, if this was covered already. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>but he wants to go back to w W. He
<v Speaker 1>didn't want to leave like he wants to go back.
<v Speaker 1>He's holding out hope that they'll be able to have
<v Speaker 1>a conversation and he'll go back and Scarlett will go back.
<v Speaker 1>So I mean that's what that's what he wants. Do
<v Speaker 1>I see things being different for him if he goes back. No,
<v Speaker 1>because again, if Triple H was was interested in doing
<v Speaker 1>something more with him than he would have I mean,
<v Speaker 1>look at look at our truth. He was fired, they
<v Speaker 1>weren't going to use him anymore. They brought him back,
<v Speaker 1>And what has he done since he came back? Right?
<v Speaker 1>I mean, he's pretty much right back to where he was.
<v Speaker 1>It's not going to be any different with Cross. And
<v Speaker 1>if he's okay with that, then hey, you know, if
<v Speaker 1>he's happy being in WWE and that's where he wants
<v Speaker 1>to be, then good for him. But if he was
<v Speaker 1>to suddenly get an offer and he took it and
<v Speaker 1>he went back, I mean, anybody who thinks he's going
<v Speaker 1>to be in a really different position than the one
<v Speaker 1>he was in before, you're fooling yourself. Boots. Who would
<v Speaker 1>win in a TLC match between George Washington, Thomas Jefferson,
<v Speaker 1>and John Adams. I'll hang up and listen, and that
<v Speaker 1>John Adams, you know, he's a nasty piece of business.
<v Speaker 1>I've heard stories about that guy. I'm gonna go with.
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna go with John Adams, Duffs VIDs. I like
<v Speaker 1>to give a shout out to all the sidewalks out
<v Speaker 1>there for keeping off the streets. That's the one you
<v Speaker 1>end with. Duffs. Come on, man, come on, mane you
<v Speaker 1>could do better than that. Well, we are currently at four,

<v Speaker 1>who's going to be defending his title this Saturday at
<v Speaker 1>triple Mania, in fact, against all ww E stars. He's
<v Speaker 1>the only Triple A talent in the match. But before
<v Speaker 1>he gets to Triple Mania, Vi Kingo is in the
<v Speaker 1>main event here and be the book. I just hope
<v Speaker 1>he doesn't get hurt. He's going to hurt his knee tonight.
<v Speaker 1>His name, He's going to be out of Triple Mania,
<v Speaker 1>Let's hope. Not The Kingo against Demon Ballor. That's clean
<v Speaker 1>sweep right there, Demon Balor, look at him before he
<v Speaker 1>got killed off by Roman Reigns. Demon Balor and the Kingo.
<v Speaker 1>How about that? Not bad? Not bad? Hell fucking yes,
<v Speaker 1>says GTA. How's this for a random trivia effect for you.
<v Speaker 1>It's kind of crazy for me to think that I
<v Speaker 1>actually had to make the save. I had to make
<v Speaker 1>the save on a hog show once for Vi Kingo.
<v Speaker 1>Believe it or not. Yeah, how's that for wacky? The
<v Speaker 1>King goes okay in my book? Yes, Valor is also
<v Speaker 1>on the Triple A Show. He is not in that
<v Speaker 1>main event though, but he is teaming with the other
<v Speaker 1>members of the Judgment Day to take on Who are
<v Speaker 1>they taking on? Is it Psycho clown, mister Iguana? And
<v Speaker 1>I forgot the other? Oh yeah, I don't remember. I
<v Speaker 1>don't remember who the other members, but yeah, they're on
<v Speaker 1>the show. No, I did not know. I did not
<v Speaker 1>kick anyone's ass. He was getting his ass kicked and
<v Speaker 1>I came out to put a stop to it. So
<v Speaker 1>you're welcome, VI Kingo, Joseph Stewart. Were you a fan
<v Speaker 1>of the Caesar Romero version of the Joker? Was that
<v Speaker 1>from the Adam West Batman Show? Right? Yes? I was
<v Speaker 1>actually Duff's VIDs. Was gonna try to redeem himself here.
<v Speaker 1>What does a burnt pizza, frozen beer, and a pregnant
<v Speaker 1>woman have in common? Someone forgot to pull it out.
<v Speaker 1>Rosen beer, burnt pizza and a pregnant woman. Wow, doctor Scorpio.
<v Speaker 1>We used to get be the booker on Wednesdays easily.
<v Speaker 1>Now it's a struggle to barely get one round. But
<v Speaker 1>everything is great. Thanks TK Lol. Well such is the
<v Speaker 1>case with Dynamite these days. But what the hell are
<v Speaker 1>you gonna do? Joseph Stewart. Did you know if Tim
<v Speaker 1>Burton directed Batman Forever, Michelle Pfeiffer would have returned as Catwoman.
<v Speaker 1>Well it's too bad she didn't, because I loved Michelle
<v Speaker 1>Pfiffer as Catwoman. Michelle Pfeiffer in that tight leather they
<v Speaker 1>knew what they were doing. They knew what they were
<v Speaker 1>doing when they cast her in that role. I loved
<v Speaker 1>her as Catwoman and terrible dried Chicken. The Rock and
<v Speaker 1>Roll Express against Sting and Darby, but the winning team
<v Speaker 1>gets to stay at the Playboy Mansion. I wouldn't be
<v Speaker 1>surprised if the Rock and Roll Express made a trip
<v Speaker 1>or two to the Playboy Mansion back in the day.
<v Speaker 1>They would have been a big hit. I don't know
<v Speaker 1>that Hugh would have appreciated it, though, Thank you, my friend,
<v Speaker 1>and Joseph as well. Joseph my god. I mean, he
<v Speaker 1>dropped so many Batman related messages and trivia notes tonight.
<v Speaker 1>You know he's he's probably very disappointed that the next
<v Speaker 1>Batman movie is not coming out until twenty twenty seven.
<v Speaker 1>I still have not seen The Batman with Robert Pattinson,
<v Speaker 1>so I've got plenty of time, I guess, to catch
<v Speaker 1>up on it before the next one comes out. The
<v Speaker 1>new Jason Vorhees short, Sweet Revenge is live. Oh you
<v Speaker 1>know what I forgot about that? Yeah? Yeah, I gotta
<v Speaker 1>make a note, make a note to check that out.
<v Speaker 1>I'm a big fan of some of the fan made films.
<v Speaker 1>They're several years old at this point, but there's there's
<v Speaker 1>one in particular that I really really enjoyed. And the
<v Speaker 1>name escapes me, but they have and it's very well
<v Speaker 1>produced too. It looks like very professionally done. But they're
<v Speaker 1>like short films that are fan made, and there's some
<v Speaker 1>good Friday the third teenth ones. If you search around
<v Speaker 1>on YouTube Sweet Revenge. I will check that out, in
<v Speaker 1>fact that I might do that when we're done here.
<v Speaker 1>Did I see the cross interview on Ariel today? I
<v Speaker 1>saw clips from me. Yes, we'll talk about that on
<v Speaker 1>the sound of I've still not seen the one before
<v Speaker 1>Dark Knight. Oh that was Batman begins. Yeah, The Dark
<v Speaker 1>Knight is my favorite movie of all time. The way
<v Speaker 1>that Joseph feels about Batman Forever, that's how I feel
<v Speaker 1>about The Dark Knight. And here he is again. I
<v Speaker 1>forgot this, Joseph says. Marlon Ways was supposed to play
<v Speaker 1>Robin and Batman Forever if Tim Burton had directed Batman Forever. Boy,
<v Speaker 1>Tim Burton had a very different vision for this film,
<v Speaker 1>didn't he Never Hike in the Snow? That might have
<v Speaker 1>been the one I was thinking of. That might have
<v Speaker 1>been the Friday the thirteenth movie the fan made one.
<v Speaker 1>I was thinking of, never Hike in the Snow. That
<v Speaker 1>sounds familiar. Thank you for helping me get to eighty
<v Speaker 1>eight thousand subscribers. Tonight. We will be back live here
<v Speaker 1>on Friday night for the SmackDown post show, and then
<v Speaker 1>of course on Sunday for episode nine twenty five. I
<v Speaker 1>believe we're up to of the sound off. Nine to
