<v Speaker 1>Oh my goodness. The don Kallis family all over the

<v Speaker 1>show tonight, which is what happens when you have most

<v Speaker 1>of the roster under your tutelage. They of course were

<v Speaker 1>in the final segment on the show, but they were

<v Speaker 1>in multiple segments here on this episode of Dynamite. You

<v Speaker 1>know who was not on this episode of Dynamite, That

<v Speaker 1>guy right there. Two weeks now, it's been two weeks

<v Speaker 1>since we saw the return of Wardlow at Forbidden Door.

<v Speaker 1>He didn't really do much on the show last week,

<v Speaker 1>not much of a follow up to his big return

<v Speaker 1>after a year and a half. So tonight he wasn't

<v Speaker 1>there at all. He wasn't even in the background. He

<v Speaker 1>went from being the background noise to no noise at all.

<v Speaker 1>So if you happen to see this man walking down

<v Speaker 1>the street, if you happen to see him walking down

<v Speaker 1>the side of the road, please call your local authorities

<v Speaker 1>and alert them. They would really very much like to

<v Speaker 1>know where this man is. Where is Wardlow? No one knows.

<v Speaker 1>We'll leave that there in case somebody recognizes him. Maybe

<v Speaker 1>they'll chime in. It also looks like they have written

<v Speaker 1>Kenny Omega off of television based on the angle they

<v Speaker 1>did at the end of Dynamite Here tonight. Kenny Omega,

<v Speaker 1>you know, there's been some talk about him maybe being

<v Speaker 1>a little beaten up. Dave Melter made it out to

<v Speaker 1>sound like he was very beaten up, and I think

<v Speaker 1>Kenny chimed in on social media and said, well, you know,

<v Speaker 1>everybody is beaten up to some extent. He tried, he

<v Speaker 1>kind of tried to play it down a little bit.

<v Speaker 1>So I don't know if there's any particular injury that

<v Speaker 1>this man is dealing with or not, but he certainly

<v Speaker 1>didn't show any signs of an injury in the eight

<v Speaker 1>man tag team made event tonite. But when the match

<v Speaker 1>was over, Kenny Omega had a neck brace around his neck.

<v Speaker 1>He was all laid out outside the ring after one

<v Speaker 1>Kyle Fletcher put him, planted him, threw a table outside

<v Speaker 1>the ring with a souplex, and it certainly, I mean,

<v Speaker 1>the impression that I got, you know, watching the end

<v Speaker 1>of the show tonight, was that we are not going

<v Speaker 1>to be seeing Kenny Omega for quite a while potentially,

<v Speaker 1>So he disappeared after his loss to Okada at all.

<v Speaker 1>In we didn't see him again until Forbidden Door, when

<v Speaker 1>he showed up to be a part of the big

<v Speaker 1>lights out steel cage match, and now it looks like

<v Speaker 1>he's gone again. The Roman reigns of AAW. He shows up,

<v Speaker 1>there's an inevitable injury angle, he gets the shit kicked

<v Speaker 1>out of him, and then we don't see him for

<v Speaker 1>a while. That seems to be the story of Kenny

<v Speaker 1>Omega here in AAW. But you know, last week we

<v Speaker 1>were wondering which member of the Don Kallis family are

<v Speaker 1>they setting up for a championship match with Hangman Page

<v Speaker 1>in Toronto at all out, because that was the direction

<v Speaker 1>that they went in, and realistically it could really only

<v Speaker 1>be one of three names. Either Kyle Fletcher, who's the

<v Speaker 1>TNT champion, Kazuska Okata who's the unified champion that seems

<v Speaker 1>very unlikely, or the one member who does not have

<v Speaker 1>a championship, which is Kenoski Takeshta, And I was thinking, well,

<v Speaker 1>takesha is the one that would seem to make the

<v Speaker 1>most sense in this equation. After tonight, it appears that

<v Speaker 1>we got our answer. It looks like Kyle Fletcher is

<v Speaker 1>certainly for Toronto. It looks like being set up for

<v Speaker 1>a championship match against Hangman Adam Page based on the

<v Speaker 1>angle they did with Fletcher and Omega at the end there,

<v Speaker 1>and then he was talking some smack to Hangman. That's

<v Speaker 1>how the show went off the air. So it appears

<v Speaker 1>that Fletcher is going to be the chosen one again.

<v Speaker 1>Just based on what we saw tonight, it looks like

<v Speaker 1>he's going to be the chosen one for that spot.

<v Speaker 1>You know. My thought on this, I mentioned this actually

<v Speaker 1>on TNT last night, but maya idea was, I don't

<v Speaker 1>know that there needs to be an aw World Championship

<v Speaker 1>match at all Out if they don't have a real

<v Speaker 1>suitable anger in mind for Hangman. Clearly they want to

<v Speaker 1>get away from the MJF stuff for a little bit

<v Speaker 1>and then they'll circle back around to it. Kyle Fletcher

<v Speaker 1>is the TNT champion, you know, Kyle Fletcher has been

<v Speaker 1>the TNT champion now for somewhere around maybe a month, right,

<v Speaker 1>not that long. And it's just a weird thing to

<v Speaker 1>me now that you're gonna slot him in a potential

<v Speaker 1>World Championship match here at all Out. It just doesn't

<v Speaker 1>seem necessary to me. Why not do a tag team match?

<v Speaker 1>Why not save Kenny Omega? If he is all beat up,

<v Speaker 1>save him for Toronto, because you know in Canada they

<v Speaker 1>would love to see Kenny Omega. And I mean, I

<v Speaker 1>suppose it's possible he can make his grand return on

<v Speaker 1>TV before then and actually have a match on that show.

<v Speaker 1>But I'm just saying, you know, based on the angle

<v Speaker 1>that we saw here, this this felt to me like

<v Speaker 1>their way of writing him off to where he may

<v Speaker 1>not even be on the All Out show. Maybe I'm wrong.

<v Speaker 1>Maybe he'll be back in two weeks and then they'll

<v Speaker 1>set up Fletcher and Omega one on one in Toronto.

<v Speaker 1>But let's assume that's not gonna happen. Why not do

<v Speaker 1>Omega and Hangman in a tag team match? Been so

<v Speaker 1>long since we've seen them as tag team partners against

<v Speaker 1>the Kallus family, but against Kazuchka Okada and Kenoski Takeshta

<v Speaker 1>because they have been teasing dissension. They've been teasing issues

<v Speaker 1>between Okada and Takesha. First of all, you get a

<v Speaker 1>great tag team match out of it. That's number one.

<v Speaker 1>Number two, you could potentially then set up for a

<v Speaker 1>World Championship match at wrestl Dream between Hangman and Takesha.

<v Speaker 1>The following month, but you continue to play into these

<v Speaker 1>issues between Okada, who obviously has history with Omegas, so

<v Speaker 1>putting them in the ring together makes sense. But the

<v Speaker 1>issues with Okada and Takesha can be furthered. So you know,

<v Speaker 1>in my mind, I'm like, man, you know what I

<v Speaker 1>could buy into that that would be a great attraction

<v Speaker 1>for that show. They obviously felt differently. They wanted to

<v Speaker 1>go a different way with it. And look, if this

<v Speaker 1>is what we are going to get, if we are

<v Speaker 1>in fact going to get Kyle Fletcher and Hang Page

<v Speaker 1>and not Kyle Fletcher and Kenny Omeg at all Out,

<v Speaker 1>It's even if he does wrestle Kenny Omega at all Out,

<v Speaker 1>it's a great spot right for Kyle Fletcher to be in.

<v Speaker 1>I'm not saying that. If you're Kyle Fletcher, you're fucking

<v Speaker 1>loving this because you either get to work with Kenny

<v Speaker 1>Omega or Hangman Page for the world championship. So it's

<v Speaker 1>a great spot for him to be in, you know,

<v Speaker 1>as the TNT champion going in there and challenging for

<v Speaker 1>the world title. I will not object to them wanting

<v Speaker 1>to throw a spotlight on Kyle Fletcher because he is

<v Speaker 1>one of their you know, obviously their their marquee rising

<v Speaker 1>young stars in the company that they've created here. So

<v Speaker 1>that was how Dynamite went off the air tonight with

<v Speaker 1>that angle at the end of their eight man tag

<v Speaker 1>team match. Another all Star eight man tag team match.

<v Speaker 1>We're getting an all Star women's tag team match on

<v Speaker 1>Collision this weekend. We get them every week. Darby Allen

<v Speaker 1>continues to make life a living hell for the Death Riders,

<v Speaker 1>as the Death Riders have made life a living hell

<v Speaker 1>for all of us for almost a year, so he

<v Speaker 1>can continues to be a thorn in the side of

<v Speaker 1>John Moxley. Is he still is trying to get that

<v Speaker 1>match with Moxley. You know, they are obviously going to

<v Speaker 1>be building to this in Toronto, but Moxley still has

<v Speaker 1>not said yes to the challenge that Darby is laid out.

<v Speaker 1>So everywhere Moxley goes, Darby is not far behind. So

<v Speaker 1>they furthered that story, and actually he helped cost the

<v Speaker 1>Death Riders possibly the aw tag team titles that they

<v Speaker 1>challenge for tonight. Mercedes Monette, she has a challenger for

<v Speaker 1>all Out Wait until you find out who it is,

<v Speaker 1>you'll never guess, but she has a challenger for All Out,

<v Speaker 1>the Women's World Champion, Tony Storm as of yet does not.

<v Speaker 1>In fact, the only bit of Tony Storm that we

<v Speaker 1>had on the show tonight was her basically begging somebody

<v Speaker 1>to step up and challenge her for the championships. So

<v Speaker 1>it's still an open question as far as who that

<v Speaker 1>person is going to be. But Mercedes does in fact

<v Speaker 1>have an opponent now for that show. What we got

<v Speaker 1>on doneah tonight. We had three good matches on this show.

<v Speaker 1>We had a TBS title match between Mercedes, Monet and

<v Speaker 1>and Alex Windsor that was very good. We had a

<v Speaker 1>tag team title match first defense for Brody King and

<v Speaker 1>Bendido against Claudio and Wheeler You. And we had the

<v Speaker 1>all star eight man tag team main event, the big

<v Speaker 1>party match of the night. So those are your three

<v Speaker 1>good matches here on this card, and lots of chaos

<v Speaker 1>between what happened in the opening segment. There was chaos

<v Speaker 1>in the segment involving Cope and Christian and FTR we

<v Speaker 1>already know their matches official for the pay per view,

<v Speaker 1>and then the insanity that we had their postmatch here

<v Speaker 1>at the end of the show. Far as All Out

<v Speaker 1>is concerned. We had two more matches made official for

<v Speaker 1>that show, one of which is a TBS title match.

<v Speaker 1>The other is Ricochet in the Gates of Agony. They

<v Speaker 1>threw down the gauntlet to the Hurt Syndicate and MVP accepted.

<v Speaker 1>So that's going to be a trios match that we

<v Speaker 1>now know is happening in Toronto. And we don't know

<v Speaker 1>about the world title match, but it seems likely that

<v Speaker 1>we know who the challenger now is going to be,

<v Speaker 1>so as far as the pay per view is concerned,

<v Speaker 1>those were the key developments coming out of the show tonight,

<v Speaker 1>but as far as the pay per view goes, that

<v Speaker 1>was hardly the only development. We had some big news

<v Speaker 1>today and before I even get into all the different

<v Speaker 1>goings on here from the show itself, and I'll expand

<v Speaker 1>more on this on the sound Off this weekend, but

<v Speaker 1>I have to mention this because it broke today and

<v Speaker 1>it was major news on the aw front. It is official.

<v Speaker 1>Tony Khan blinked. Tony Khan has made the only move

<v Speaker 1>that Tony Khan could possibly make in this situation. If

<v Speaker 1>he was going to do something, it was the only

<v Speaker 1>move that made sense. I'm actually kind of surprised that

<v Speaker 1>he did it now that we're a few weeks out.

<v Speaker 1>But Tony Khan went and has moved the start time

<v Speaker 1>for All Out, one of his signature annual shows that

<v Speaker 1>he is already locked in eight pm Eastern in Toronto

<v Speaker 1>at the Scotia Bank Arena, he has moved the start

<v Speaker 1>time of the show up by five hours. Instead of

<v Speaker 1>eight pm Eastern time, the main card will now begin

<v Speaker 1>at three pm Eastern time. You would assume then that

<v Speaker 1>means that the pre show is starting either at one

<v Speaker 1>or one thirty in the afternoon. It's going to be

<v Speaker 1>a long day of wrestling, especially if you want to

<v Speaker 1>try to catch all of it. It's going to be

<v Speaker 1>a very long day of wrestling. So that was made

<v Speaker 1>official today and obviously the reason for that, no matter

<v Speaker 1>what anybody tries to tell you, I did see a

<v Speaker 1>note from Fightful Select that said that people within AAW

<v Speaker 1>Let me see if I can find the quote here.

<v Speaker 1>It was a matter of people in AW sources saying

<v Speaker 1>that the success of Forbidden Door being in the afternoon

<v Speaker 1>helped contribute to the decision to move the All Out

<v Speaker 1>car Well, I may have contributed in some small way,

<v Speaker 1>but we know why the show was the show was

<v Speaker 1>moved so that it is no longer in direct head

<v Speaker 1>to head competition with WWE Wrestled Paloozo because WWE is

<v Speaker 1>starting the ESPN Era, They're going to make a big splash,

<v Speaker 1>and they are trying to drown out AW on one

<v Speaker 1>of their signature weekends of the year. And Tony Kahn

<v Speaker 1>really did not have any other move to make here

<v Speaker 1>other than to move his show to a different time

<v Speaker 1>so there would be very little overlap between the two

<v Speaker 1>shows that he could have left it alone if he

<v Speaker 1>wanted to and said, you know what, fuck you, I

<v Speaker 1>was there first, and I'm not moving my show because

<v Speaker 1>it sets a bad precedent now for the future, where

<v Speaker 1>what's he gonna do. Is he gonna move future shows

<v Speaker 1>as well? Is this going to be a regular recurring

<v Speaker 1>thing where Tony is going to be forced to announce

<v Speaker 1>something and then move his show. He's not going to

<v Speaker 1>want to do that. So I could see where people

<v Speaker 1>would think that it's a bad precedent to set. But

<v Speaker 1>in this case, if I were in his shoes, I

<v Speaker 1>might have done it a little sooner, but I would

<v Speaker 1>have made the same move because as much as the

<v Speaker 1>AW diehard fans are are very loyal to AW and

<v Speaker 1>they will be watching All Out no matter what. There

<v Speaker 1>is a lot of overlap between the two audiences. You

<v Speaker 1>do have a lot of fans who are going to

<v Speaker 1>be forced to choose if they want to watch one

<v Speaker 1>show live over the other, and then they try to

<v Speaker 1>avoid spoilers so nothing gets spoiled. So you know, for

<v Speaker 1>some people it's an important decision to make. I can

<v Speaker 1>only watch one live and I want to just focus

<v Speaker 1>my attention on one. Which one do I choose? And

<v Speaker 1>there are going to be people who were going to

<v Speaker 1>choose the WWE show. In this case, he is taking

<v Speaker 1>away the head to head competition and saying, you know what,

<v Speaker 1>we'll get an early start. We'll jump out first, and

<v Speaker 1>what we'll try to do is put on a show

<v Speaker 1>that makes you not want to flip the channel because

<v Speaker 1>by the time they get to the latter portion of

<v Speaker 1>the All Out Show, WWE is already going to be starting.

<v Speaker 1>There's no way, there's no way the AW show is

<v Speaker 1>going to be over when the WWE show. The WA

<v Speaker 1>show starts at seven o'clock Eastern, not eight to seven

<v Speaker 1>pm start. This is an AW pay per view. You

<v Speaker 1>honestly believe that that show is going to be over

<v Speaker 1>at seven o'clock. Of course not, but if they're in

<v Speaker 1>the middle of a major match, if they could time

<v Speaker 1>it just right, maybe the main event is on and

<v Speaker 1>they're and they're putting together a kick ass show. Maybe

<v Speaker 1>there are some people who will not want to flip

<v Speaker 1>away from that, right, So that's that's the only real

<v Speaker 1>competition that we'll have between those two shows that night.

<v Speaker 1>In my opinion, AW afternoon shows are much better. I

<v Speaker 1>prefer the AW afternoon shows. Tony Kahn loves putting on

<v Speaker 1>these marathon shows. He loves just stockpiling these shows with

<v Speaker 1>as many matches as he can possibly give you. Every

<v Speaker 1>time that he puts on a pay per view, he

<v Speaker 1>wants to give you the best pay per view that

<v Speaker 1>you've ever seen in your entire life. And that's that's

<v Speaker 1>a noble goal to have. But what we end up

<v Speaker 1>with these marathon shows, and you know what, if you're

<v Speaker 1>gonna have a marathon show four hours, five hours. They

<v Speaker 1>had a show a few months ago that was five

<v Speaker 1>and a half hours. If you are going to do that,

<v Speaker 1>it is much better to do it at three o'clock

<v Speaker 1>in the afternoon or one o'clock in the afternoon than

<v Speaker 1>it is to first start that show at eight o'clock

<v Speaker 1>at night, because whether I was doing this show or

<v Speaker 1>I'm just watching as a fan and nothing more, that's

<v Speaker 1>too long. I'm sorry, it's too long to first start

<v Speaker 1>a show like that at eight o'clock and then at

<v Speaker 1>twelve thirty in the morning it's still going. And I

<v Speaker 1>know it's happened before because I've had to push reviews

<v Speaker 1>back until almost one o'clock in the morning because of

<v Speaker 1>this shit. So on a personal level, I favor the

<v Speaker 1>afternoon shows. I find them to be more tolerable that way.

<v Speaker 1>For me as a fan and as a content creator,

<v Speaker 1>what it means now is that I will be able

<v Speaker 1>to watch aw wall Out live for the most part.

<v Speaker 1>I'll be able to watch that show live and get

<v Speaker 1>most of that done and then switch over to the

<v Speaker 1>WWE show, and then go live that night to cover

<v Speaker 1>the WWE show, and then the next day I have

<v Speaker 1>the sound off that I record and I can cover

<v Speaker 1>all out on the podcast. So for me personally, it

<v Speaker 1>makes my life a little bit easier than it would

<v Speaker 1>have been if we had the head to head competition.

<v Speaker 1>It's just the nature of when the podcast drops. You know,

<v Speaker 1>my show drops on Sundays every week, so fuck me.

<v Speaker 1>If we had to do this head to head shit

<v Speaker 1>on a Saturday night, yeah, it's going to be a problem.

<v Speaker 1>So I love it. I'm glad that he made this move.

<v Speaker 1>A little surprised that he did. I thought he was

<v Speaker 1>going to stay the course, But I think it was

<v Speaker 1>the right move to make. It's the right move to

<v Speaker 1>make if you're someone like me. Maybe it's the right

<v Speaker 1>move to make if you're in the same boat with

<v Speaker 1>me and you prefer the afternoon shows. However, that is

<v Speaker 1>not necessarily true for everybody who is going to either

<v Speaker 1>be watching the show or more importantly, be in attendance

<v Speaker 1>at the show, because there are some people who are

<v Speaker 1>going to be fucked by this move. Tony kh had

<v Speaker 1>already moved in excess. I think of ten or eleven

<v Speaker 1>thousand tickets for this pay per view, Like the advance

<v Speaker 1>on that show is very strong. There are people who

<v Speaker 1>were planning to be at all out. Maybe they were

<v Speaker 1>gonna go with friends or whatever the case may be,

<v Speaker 1>and they were going to an eight o'clock show. All

<v Speaker 1>of a sudden, Tony Kah says, you know what, we're

<v Speaker 1>gonna move that up five hours. Not everybody who bought

<v Speaker 1>a ticket is going to be able to go to

<v Speaker 1>the show, or maybe now they're going to have to

<v Speaker 1>cancel this. They're going to have to rearrange that. Now.

<v Speaker 1>Imagine if you don't live in Toronto, if you're elsewhere

<v Speaker 1>in Canada, if you're not even in Canada, you're in

<v Speaker 1>the US, you're flying to Canada for the show, You've

<v Speaker 1>already booked your airfare, You've already booked your hotel. Like,

<v Speaker 1>you're fucked. You're fucked. You've got to figure something out now.

<v Speaker 1>And I sympathize with those people. Those people have every

<v Speaker 1>right to be upset by this move. You were never

<v Speaker 1>going to be able to please everyone by moving the show.

<v Speaker 1>For me, I love it. For those people, it sucks

<v Speaker 1>to be you, and you have every right to be

<v Speaker 1>upset about that. But Tony Kahan made what he felt

<v Speaker 1>was going to be the best decision he could make

<v Speaker 1>for business, and for business, he did not want to

<v Speaker 1>go head to head with not just the WWE show,

<v Speaker 1>but they're loading that show up, you know, intentionally loading

<v Speaker 1>that show up. And because it's the first ESPN show.

<v Speaker 1>That's what all the stories are going to be about,

<v Speaker 1>and the whole weekend is going to be about that.

<v Speaker 1>So he just felt, you know what's it's in our

<v Speaker 1>best interest to move this show, and in the best

<v Speaker 1>interest of some of our fans to move the show,

<v Speaker 1>but not all of his fans. So it cuts both ways,

<v Speaker 1>and I totally understand why some of those people would

<v Speaker 1>be upset. Now, the other element here is that not

<v Speaker 1>only is this show being bumped up to three o'clock

<v Speaker 1>Eastern Time, but it will be the first AW pay

<v Speaker 1>per view. Finally, after all the months of talk and

<v Speaker 1>waiting and waiting and waiting for some kind of update

<v Speaker 1>on HBO Max, going all the way back to last fall,

<v Speaker 1>the first AW pay per view that will be streaming

<v Speaker 1>live on HBO Max will be all out. You will

<v Speaker 1>have the ability via Max to buy the pay per view.

<v Speaker 1>Keyword there is by This is not a peacock situation

<v Speaker 1>where you just open the app and boom, it's there

<v Speaker 1>and that's it. You will have to pay for the show. Now,

<v Speaker 1>that was always going to be the case. That's not

<v Speaker 1>a shock. It might be a disappointment to some people,

<v Speaker 1>but you can't say if you've been paying attention. You

<v Speaker 1>can't say, oh, I was surprised by this, Like we

<v Speaker 1>already knew you were gonna have to pay for the show.

<v Speaker 1>AW is not out of the pay per view business.

<v Speaker 1>Pay per view is still the lifeblood of this company. Clearly,

<v Speaker 1>you know, domestically week to week it's not their attendance,

<v Speaker 1>but as far as pay per views, they still rely

<v Speaker 1>on that pay per view income. Tony Kan just had

<v Speaker 1>a ring of honor pay per view last week where

<v Speaker 1>shit went sideways with the stream and he opted to

<v Speaker 1>put the second half of the show up on YouTube

<v Speaker 1>and stream it for free on YouTube, which was a

<v Speaker 1>very cool move on his part. By his own admission,

<v Speaker 1>he claims he did that even though he was going

<v Speaker 1>to lose hundreds of thousands of dollars. That's what he claims.

<v Speaker 1>That's that's for a ring of honor pay per view.

<v Speaker 1>The AW pay per views are the ones that really

<v Speaker 1>make money. There's still a pay per view business. I know,

<v Speaker 1>pay per view is kind of an antiquated model at

<v Speaker 1>this point. We just had Mark Shapiro of TKO talking

<v Speaker 1>about how pay per view is dead. We made this

<v Speaker 1>deal to move UFC over to Paramount plause pay per

<v Speaker 1>views a thing of the past. Then Dana White came

<v Speaker 1>out and basically contradicted it and said that we might

<v Speaker 1>still do some pay per views, but it is it

<v Speaker 1>is an antiquated model, right. Pay per view is not

<v Speaker 1>what it was thirty years ago. But they rely on that,

<v Speaker 1>and I understand that it may be a necessary evil

<v Speaker 1>for them. What I was waiting to find out is

<v Speaker 1>what would be the discounted price, because there has to

<v Speaker 1>be some sort of you know, appeal when it comes

<v Speaker 1>to HBO Max that would make you want to watch

<v Speaker 1>the show there as opposed to wherever else you normally

<v Speaker 1>only would watch these shows. Now, for me, it's YouTube.

<v Speaker 1>They've been offering the pay per views through YouTube. I've

<v Speaker 1>opted to just buy them through there. Some people watch

<v Speaker 1>them on Triller, some people watch them on Amazon Prime.

<v Speaker 1>I know PPV dot com. You can still watch it there,

<v Speaker 1>and there's a few other ways that you can watch

<v Speaker 1>these shows. So and by the way, the shows will

<v Speaker 1>still be available on all of those platforms. They're not

<v Speaker 1>going away, but you will have to pay fifty bucks

<v Speaker 1>at least in this country. I don't know how it

<v Speaker 1>is elsewhere, but you will have to pay fifty bucks,

<v Speaker 1>So what are they going to charge to watch it

<v Speaker 1>through HBO Max. To me, the sweet spot was around

<v Speaker 1>thirty bucks. You would save twenty dollars per pay per view.

<v Speaker 1>Obviously I wish it was lower than that, but I thought,

<v Speaker 1>you know, thirty thirty is reasonable. Thirty would be like

<v Speaker 1>a real discount. Although for this first show we just

<v Speaker 1>got we just had a whole discussion about this, and

<v Speaker 1>I brought this up on TNT last night. For this

<v Speaker 1>first show, I would have thrown like as a fuck

<v Speaker 1>you to WWE, Like I didn't even know that Tony

<v Speaker 1>was going to move the showtime. My thought was, you

<v Speaker 1>throw that pay per view on there for free, just

<v Speaker 1>the first one, just to try to reel in as

<v Speaker 1>many people as possible. Hey, look, guys, celebrate with us.

<v Speaker 1>It's a big party. We're finally bringing these pay per

<v Speaker 1>views to HBO Max. And because we love you guys

<v Speaker 1>so much, guess what you can be all in for

<v Speaker 1>all out and not pay anything whatsoever, right or something

<v Speaker 1>like that, just to bring people in. And then going forward,

<v Speaker 1>you can price these things out at twenty bucks, thirty bucks,

<v Speaker 1>whatever it is. The price point is going to be

<v Speaker 1>forty dollars. We found that out. I've been waiting months

<v Speaker 1>to find out what this so called discounted price is

<v Speaker 1>going to be. Instead of paying fifty bucks if you

<v Speaker 1>have MAX or if you get MAX, you will only

<v Speaker 1>only only pay forty dollars for these pay per views.

<v Speaker 1>That's a misfire. Now, I don't know if Tony. I

<v Speaker 1>don't know how much sway Tony himself has in that

<v Speaker 1>decision on what to charge for these pay per views

<v Speaker 1>through Max. I truly don't because when people ask Tony

<v Speaker 1>Kin about the Max numbers in terms of viewership, he

<v Speaker 1>always claims, honestly, I don't know, which blows my mind,

<v Speaker 1>by the way, unless he's full of shit, it blows

<v Speaker 1>my mind that he would have no insight, especially a

<v Speaker 1>guy like him who's into metrics and all kinds of stuff.

<v Speaker 1>The numbers right, But he has claimed before that I

<v Speaker 1>don't know, but I'm told we're doing really well. So

<v Speaker 1>if you take him at his word, even Tony himself

<v Speaker 1>isn't aware of how his weekly shows are performing numbers

<v Speaker 1>wise on HBO Max. Who's to say that he would

<v Speaker 1>have had any input into how much they're charging for

<v Speaker 1>these pay per views. That may well have been a

<v Speaker 1>Warner Bros. Warner Brothers Discovery call. But whoever made that call,

<v Speaker 1>I think it's a mistake because if you really want

<v Speaker 1>wanted to offer a discount and get people to shed

<v Speaker 1>whatever platforms are that they usually watch these shows on

<v Speaker 1>and make HBO max their exclusive home for these pay

<v Speaker 1>per views, I think you got to do a little

<v Speaker 1>bit better than forty bucks because you have a few

<v Speaker 1>different tiers on HBO Max. Right, you have three tiers.

<v Speaker 1>I mean all these streaming services, they all have different tiers. Right,

<v Speaker 1>they have one with ads, they have one without ads,

<v Speaker 1>they have one with some ads. So with HBO Max,

<v Speaker 1>which I think is one of the more expensive streaming services,

<v Speaker 1>they do have a basic level with ADS for nine

<v Speaker 1>to ninety nine a month. So think about it if

<v Speaker 1>you don't subscribe to HBO Max, and it would be

<v Speaker 1>totally understandable if you didn't, because there's so many streaming

<v Speaker 1>services and now you got the ESPN streaming service ten

<v Speaker 1>dollars a month for the most basic level of HBO

<v Speaker 1>Max with ads. If you are forced to pay the

<v Speaker 1>ten dollars a month that you were were not paying

<v Speaker 1>before just to get these pay per views and you're

<v Speaker 1>getting a discounted rate of forty dollars. You're still paying

<v Speaker 1>fifty bucks a month if that's all you watch on Max. Now,

<v Speaker 1>there's a lot of people who watch other shit on

<v Speaker 1>HBO Max. Some people don't. There are a lot of

<v Speaker 1>wrestling fans out there. They just watch wrestling, you know.

<v Speaker 1>I mean if all those years like Raw would be on.

<v Speaker 1>I lost count after a while of how many shows

<v Speaker 1>USA Network would put on or Spike TV would put

<v Speaker 1>on after Monday Night Raw to try to use the

<v Speaker 1>wrestling audience as elite in for whatever bullshit show they

<v Speaker 1>were putting on after wrestling, and they cycled through so

<v Speaker 1>many different shows over the years. The wrestling audience wanted

<v Speaker 1>to watch wrestling. I think the only show that ever

<v Speaker 1>had any real success in that spot was The Ultimate Fighter,

<v Speaker 1>and boy did that blow up into something. The wrestling

<v Speaker 1>fans are very loyal to wrestling. They don't necessarily give

<v Speaker 1>a shit about anything else. Not everybody is a big

<v Speaker 1>sports fan and they watch you know, basketball and football

<v Speaker 1>and all this other stuff. So you have people out

<v Speaker 1>there who don't need MAX, but for aaw you get

<v Speaker 1>no discount. If you fall into that category, you get

<v Speaker 1>no discount, you're still paying fifty bucks even worse if

<v Speaker 1>you pay for one of the higher tiers, because the

<v Speaker 1>middle tier is the standard one that's seventeen dollars a month,

<v Speaker 1>and then the premium one is twenty one dollars a month.

<v Speaker 1>So if you had even the standard one, you're paying

<v Speaker 1>seventeen dollars a month plus forty for each aw show.

<v Speaker 1>You actually end up paying more than you would for

<v Speaker 1>just buying the pay per view on YouTube or Amazon Prime.

<v Speaker 1>You may as well just buy it on there. So

<v Speaker 1>I just think that price point is a misfire. They

<v Speaker 1>could have done a lot better on that front. Whoever

<v Speaker 1>made that call, whoever is responsible for that. But at

<v Speaker 1>least now it is on Max. Finally, it's just another

<v Speaker 1>platform of many that you can purchase these pay per views.

<v Speaker 1>Moving the all out card to three o'clock, though, I

<v Speaker 1>think was the right move. Some people are going to

<v Speaker 1>be upset about it. They're going to say, oh, Tony,

<v Speaker 1>you know, he's running away from WWE. He's making a

<v Speaker 1>business decision, that's it. That's all it is. He's making

<v Speaker 1>a decision that he feels is going to help his

<v Speaker 1>show and help his company. At the end, of the

<v Speaker 1>day because there's nothing he can do. WWE is going

<v Speaker 1>to stack that wrestle Paloza show up. I mean, look

<v Speaker 1>at some of the matches that they're already teasing for

<v Speaker 1>that show. They're stacking this thing up like it's a WrestleMania.

<v Speaker 1>There's nothing he could do other than move the show.

<v Speaker 1>There was nothing he could do, but I think he

<v Speaker 1>made the right call. Today's episode is sponsored by Betterhelp.

<v Speaker 1>about what went into the decision making on this. But

<v Speaker 1>this is your aw Dynamite review. It is Wednesday, September third,

<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty five. I am the Solemn Monster. Thank you

<v Speaker 1>for being with me here on a Wednesday night. We

<v Speaker 1>already had one Nick Wayne's mom super chat job. They're

<v Speaker 1>interrupting my intro, but that's okay. It's the best kind

<v Speaker 1>of interruption. I'm okay with that. Like and subscribe. We

<v Speaker 1>will be reading the super chats or the lifeblood here

<v Speaker 1>of these streams. I appreciate the support very much. I

<v Speaker 1>will be reading all of your messages. Duff's FIDS is

<v Speaker 1>here with us. Get them on in and I will

<v Speaker 1>be reading them here in just a little bit. I

<v Speaker 1>do want to extend a thank you to our boy

<v Speaker 1>death Site, who I believe is with us, and the

<v Speaker 1>Chad Death Site dropped five gifted memberships before we even

<v Speaker 1>went live, so thank you for that. Ex caliber. He

<v Speaker 1>checked in on commentary at the beginning of the show

<v Speaker 1>here and was interrupted by Gabe Kidd, who walked out

<v Speaker 1>with a microphone and said, everybody is on his time.

<v Speaker 1>And he got into the ring and he asked where

<v Speaker 1>Darby Allen was, asking ye shall receive Darby. Allen entered

<v Speaker 1>from behind. He attacked Gabe Kid. I think he emerged

<v Speaker 1>from underneath the ring. Kid removed the turnbuckle pad. Darby

<v Speaker 1>pulled him into the exposed buckle. Kid came back and

<v Speaker 1>dumped Darby on the exposed steel and then worked him

<v Speaker 1>over at ringside. Darby shoved him into the barricade. Kid

<v Speaker 1>though turned around and just walloped him with a clothesline. Darby, though,

<v Speaker 1>ended up going up top while Kid was busy arguing

<v Speaker 1>with fans in the front row, and he hit a

<v Speaker 1>top rope coffin drop onto a standing Gabe Kid on

<v Speaker 1>the floor. They got back in the ring. Wheeler you'd

<v Speaker 1>to enter it, Oh, Joy, Wheeler you to came out

<v Speaker 1>and Darby quickly sent him back out of the ring.

<v Speaker 1>Darby pulled out a skateboard that had thumbtacks in the

<v Speaker 1>bottom of it and you to return. He was fighting

<v Speaker 1>with Darby, who quickly got the better of him. Darby

<v Speaker 1>went up and he used his feet to drive the

<v Speaker 1>skateboard down into Judah's back. He had thumbtack sticking out

<v Speaker 1>of his back. He's like a human pincushion. Darby then

<v Speaker 1>turned his attention to Gabe Kid, who was down in

<v Speaker 1>the corner. Here comes John Moxley, Here comes Claudia, Here

<v Speaker 1>comes Marina Shaffir. They stroll out to ringside. The lights

<v Speaker 1>go out up and the H signal hits the ceiling,

<v Speaker 1>and then there was a second H. Then there was

<v Speaker 1>a third AH. Triple H like triple H Mania. It

<v Speaker 1>was a I promise you it was just a unintentional

<v Speaker 1>slip of the tongue. When I was talking about triple

<v Speaker 1>MANI called it a triple H MANI you imagine they

<v Speaker 1>like hacked into the production system. Here we have three hs.

<v Speaker 1>Fucking fucking Lemmy starts playing we had the one H,

<v Speaker 1>only one H, and Hook his his krooner music plays.

<v Speaker 1>I continue to maintain this music is a very poor choice.

<v Speaker 1>It's his choice, apparently, but it's a poor one. He

<v Speaker 1>comes walking out and before he even gets to the ring,

<v Speaker 1>the music stops and it switches over to the ops.

<v Speaker 1>Music and Samoa Joe comes running out. He blows past Hook.

<v Speaker 1>Powerhouse Hobbs comes out, he blows past Hook. There was

<v Speaker 1>no Shebata, and so there's just a giant brawl at ringside.

<v Speaker 1>Willow Nightingale all of a sudden, I know where she

<v Speaker 1>came from. Willow Nightingale is at ringside. She's fighting with

<v Speaker 1>Marina Shafir, the Opster, fighting with the Death Riders. Hook

<v Speaker 1>looked annoid by all this, and so it was just

<v Speaker 1>an all out brawl with all the men and women

<v Speaker 1>at ringside. Gave Kid and Darby. They fought backstage and

<v Speaker 1>Kid was choking him. He was screaming that he wanted

<v Speaker 1>to see him go unconscious. He swung a hammer wildly

<v Speaker 1>like a madman, and he missed. Darby threw some powder

<v Speaker 1>in his eyes, choked him out with I believe it

<v Speaker 1>was a rag filled with ether, and then he put

<v Speaker 1>him in a body bag. It was tied to the

<v Speaker 1>back of a pickup truck. Taz referred to him as

<v Speaker 1>a body bag Jones and body bag Jones got driven

<v Speaker 1>off by Darby Allen as he drag the body bag

<v Speaker 1>behind him. So it was a pretty chaotic start to

<v Speaker 1>the show. If Gabe Kid is going to be sticking

<v Speaker 1>around on a regular basis, and it looks like he

<v Speaker 1>might be. Then it makes even more sense for Eddie

<v Speaker 1>Kingston when he does come back, to make his return

<v Speaker 1>as part of this death Rider's angle, and he can

<v Speaker 1>go after Gabe Kid first because Gabe Kid obviously was

<v Speaker 1>the one he was in the ring with when he

<v Speaker 1>got injured over a year ago. But then it would

<v Speaker 1>lead very nicely into the Eddie and Mock story and

<v Speaker 1>just pursuing that further, and aw seems to be intent

<v Speaker 1>on potentially adding new members and expanding the death Riders.

<v Speaker 1>My goal here as I'm watching this show is to

<v Speaker 1>go the exact opposite way. It's like coming to a

<v Speaker 1>fork in the road. You can go left or you

<v Speaker 1>can go right. Tony Kahn wants to go left. I

<v Speaker 1>want to go right. I want all of you to

<v Speaker 1>join me. Let's go this way, not that way. I

<v Speaker 1>want this group to get smaller and then disintegrate into nothing.

<v Speaker 1>I don't want to add more people to it. So

<v Speaker 1>the quicker we get Eddie Kingston back, maybe he can

<v Speaker 1>help facilitate that. But I do think that's the right

<v Speaker 1>spot for him to be in. We had Mercedes Monette

<v Speaker 1>defending her TBS championship here against Alex Windsor. Windsor was

<v Speaker 1>in control until Mercedes power bombed her on the apron

<v Speaker 1>outside That took us into a picture and picture break.

<v Speaker 1>Later on, Windsor was looking for a sharpshooter. Monet, though

<v Speaker 1>kicked out of it. She around the ropes, runs right

<v Speaker 1>into a blue thunderbomb, though for a near fall. Then

<v Speaker 1>she got the sharpshooter, replied Mercedes grabs the hair though

<v Speaker 1>to escape and applies the statement maker. Windsor picks up

<v Speaker 1>Monette and carries her money, though got a crucifix pin

<v Speaker 1>for a two count. There was a backstabber here by Mercedes.

<v Speaker 1>Windsor counter though with a power bomb Justin. Roberts then

<v Speaker 1>gave us a time call that there were ten minutes

<v Speaker 1>left in the match. Windsor is looking for the sharpshooter again.

<v Speaker 1>Then both women end up rolling out to the floor.

<v Speaker 1>Windsor does not let go of the she's got this

<v Speaker 1>submission hole applied on her on the floor. Eventually, Mercedes,

<v Speaker 1>though was able to get back in the ring by

<v Speaker 1>the nine count. Windsor was waiting for her from the

<v Speaker 1>top Mercedes, though countered with the bank statement. Windsor rolled through.

<v Speaker 1>Mercedes though hit a backstabber which Alex no sold, and

<v Speaker 1>then she blasted Money with a lariat. So both women

<v Speaker 1>now are back to their feet. They're trading forearms. Windsor

<v Speaker 1>hits a made in Japan to count only. Monette hits

<v Speaker 1>Windsor on the top rope, grabs both arms and throws

<v Speaker 1>her from the top. Statement maker is applied again. Windsor

<v Speaker 1>thinks she has the rope brake. Money though, rolls her

<v Speaker 1>back to the center of the ring. There's another try here,

<v Speaker 1>Money though, kicks off the bottom rope, but it allows

<v Speaker 1>Windsor to roll her up for a near fall. There's

<v Speaker 1>another sharpshooter attempt. Money though countered into a roll up

<v Speaker 1>and she got the pin to retain the championship. Big shock,

<v Speaker 1>I know. After the match was over, Monette's talking shit

<v Speaker 1>to Windsor. Windsor's trying to be the bigger person here.

<v Speaker 1>She puts her hand out for a handshake. Mercedes walks

<v Speaker 1>over as if she might shake the hand, but instead

<v Speaker 1>she just flips her the bird and she turns around

<v Speaker 1>to go walk away, and Alex Windsor is like, I

<v Speaker 1>don't fucking think so, So she double legs her, takes

<v Speaker 1>her down to the match. She's gonna put her in

<v Speaker 1>another sharpshooter. Mercedes there reaches up because she had the

<v Speaker 1>belt in her hands, and she just whacks her right

<v Speaker 1>in the head with the belt. So Monette now gets

<v Speaker 1>the statement maker applied, and all of a sudden we

<v Speaker 1>hear music and even I know this music. I know

<v Speaker 1>exactly who this music is for. It is the music

<v Speaker 1>for ReHO. Now Mercedes has the hole applied in a

<v Speaker 1>way where she can look at the aisle and she

<v Speaker 1>is waiting for ReHO to come out. Riho, though, emerges

<v Speaker 1>from the crowd behind her. Mercedes doesn't know. And by

<v Speaker 1>the way, when they hit Riho's music, and Rijo came

<v Speaker 1>out big pop here from the nine hundred people that

<v Speaker 1>were packed into the twenty three hundred arena because this

<v Speaker 1>was the second week in a row that they were

<v Speaker 1>at the old DCW arena. So they pop for Rio.

<v Speaker 1>Rio goes up top and she comes off with a

<v Speaker 1>double stomp that breaks up the statement maker, and then

<v Speaker 1>she sent Monette packing with a hard basement drop kick

<v Speaker 1>that sent her out of the ring. As hard as

<v Speaker 1>one can deliver such a dropkick at ninety eight pounds,

<v Speaker 1>but that's what she did, and she knocked Mercedes outside.

<v Speaker 1>She helped Windsor back to her feet. She grabbed Mercedes

<v Speaker 1>TBS title, she was admiring it and she held it

<v Speaker 1>up and that is how things came to an end.

<v Speaker 1>So that answers the question as far as who's next

<v Speaker 1>from Verseill, because last week I'm looking at both women's

<v Speaker 1>champions and I have no idea. It seemed pretty obvious

<v Speaker 1>that Alex Windsor was going to get another shot, and

<v Speaker 1>then they just went and announced the match for Dynamite tonight.

<v Speaker 1>I thought they were going to save it for All Out.

<v Speaker 1>At that point, I'm like, I don't know who's next,

<v Speaker 1>and I don't know who's next for Tony Storm either.

<v Speaker 1>There was no real clarity last week on the Women's

<v Speaker 1>championship picture. Now we know, and Tony Khan has made

<v Speaker 1>it official. At All Out it will be Mercedes Monette

<v Speaker 1>defending her TBS championship against ReHO. Riho has been out

<v Speaker 1>since July of twenty twenty four. She broke her wrist.

<v Speaker 1>That was in her collision debut against Lady Frost. Remember

<v Speaker 1>she came off the top rope. It's like a diving

<v Speaker 1>elbow to the floor outside. She broke her wrist. She

<v Speaker 1>finished the match. She wrestled a few more minutes with

<v Speaker 1>a broken wrist and won. She won the match. That

<v Speaker 1>don't work for ReHO, brother, I'm going over, and then

<v Speaker 1>we never saw her again. So it's been well over

<v Speaker 1>a year. She comes back and she's automatically in a

<v Speaker 1>TVs Championship match against Mercedes, just like that. Didn't even

<v Speaker 1>have to win a match. That's how cool Riho is.

<v Speaker 1>She just shows up and Tony Kahan or just puts

<v Speaker 1>the graphic up. Within five minutes, there it is. It's official.

<v Speaker 1>So that is the TVs Championship match for all Out.

<v Speaker 1>I certainly was not expecting Riho to be in this spot. Look,

<v Speaker 1>Riho is. The fans love Rio every time she comes out,

<v Speaker 1>even before she got hurt, like they do cheer for her.

<v Speaker 1>They like her, and they find her. I guess they

<v Speaker 1>find her fun to watch, or they just think, oh

<v Speaker 1>she's so sweet, she's so tiny. They like Riho. Okay,

<v Speaker 1>so I acknowledge that the fans are big porters of hers.

<v Speaker 1>What ReHO is in this situation, is a warm body

<v Speaker 1>to put in there to lose to Mercedes because we

<v Speaker 1>are oh so close to her becoming the longest reigning

<v Speaker 1>TBS champion of all time. ReHO is not going to

<v Speaker 1>interrupt that. I don't know why they couldn't just extend

<v Speaker 1>the Alex Windsor thing until all out, because Alex Windsor,

<v Speaker 1>she's still relatively new. They've put some shine on her.

<v Speaker 1>She was in the four way at Forbidden Door, she

<v Speaker 1>didn't take the losing fall, and then they tease that

<v Speaker 1>they were going to continue with this this feud between

<v Speaker 1>her and Mercedes. I'm like, okay, well, that seems like

<v Speaker 1>it's going to be the all out match that'll bridge

<v Speaker 1>the gap between now and October, because we still have

<v Speaker 1>some time between now and then. And then Justin Roberts

<v Speaker 1>gave the ten minute time call, and I'm like, okay,

<v Speaker 1>I see what they're doing here. They're going to go

<v Speaker 1>to a time limit draw, no winner. You run it

<v Speaker 1>back at all maybe it all out. It's no time limit, right,

<v Speaker 1>but you run the match back. But then Mercedes rolled

<v Speaker 1>her up and beat her, and it was actually more

<v Speaker 1>like she survived Windsor. It wasn't like a dominant win.

<v Speaker 1>That's how Mercedes has won most of her matches. Though,

<v Speaker 1>that's how she won it Forbidden Door. It was on

<v Speaker 1>some kind of roll up or wacky pinning combination. She

<v Speaker 1>just gets by, you know, by the skin of her teeth.

<v Speaker 1>But that's how she's been retaining her championship for the

<v Speaker 1>most part. I don't understand why they couldn't have just

<v Speaker 1>extended the Alex windsor stuff. At least there was a

<v Speaker 1>story there and extend that into the pay per view. Instead,

<v Speaker 1>it's like we blew it off on TV for really

<v Speaker 1>no good reason to bring back Riho, who hasn't been

<v Speaker 1>around in fifteen months or fourteen months, whatever it's been,

<v Speaker 1>and just like that, like boom, she's in a TBS

<v Speaker 1>title match. Not what I would have done, but that's

<v Speaker 1>how Tony Kahn wanted to reintroduce Rijo. So good. She'll

<v Speaker 1>go in there, she'll lose, She'll be the next one

<v Speaker 1>to lose Mercedes, and then the question becomes who's next.

<v Speaker 1>After that, it'll be on to the next loser. And

<v Speaker 1>I guess that's how this is gonna work. Riho is

<v Speaker 1>like a mini EO Sky. She is very tiny. She's

<v Speaker 1>about ninety eight pounds. But she's been there since day one.

<v Speaker 1>Think about that, right, wasn't she the first champion? I

<v Speaker 1>believe she was. I believe Rejo was the first AW

<v Speaker 1>women's champion, So she's been there since day one. She's

<v Speaker 1>an AW original. But you know, silly me, I thought

<v Speaker 1>that whether you were an AW original or not. You know,

<v Speaker 1>for a guy who used to run rankings on his

<v Speaker 1>shows and doesn't anymore, but you would think that he

<v Speaker 1>would at least be sensitive to bringing her back and

<v Speaker 1>maybe letting her rack up some wins before she challenges

<v Speaker 1>for the TBS title. But evidently he feels differently now.

<v Speaker 1>Renee was backstage with Samoa, Joe and Powerhouse Hobbs asking

<v Speaker 1>them where Hooks stay with the ops, and Joe said,

<v Speaker 1>you know, I'd like to know that too, and Hook

<v Speaker 1>walked in at that moment said that he didn't need

<v Speaker 1>either one of them fighting for him. He'll fight his

<v Speaker 1>own battles. Hook said that you replaced me before my

<v Speaker 1>body was even cold, and Hobbs took exception to this

<v Speaker 1>and said, look, I've always had your back, and so

<v Speaker 1>Joe calms him down and interjects said, you know what

<v Speaker 1>Hook is right. We didn't wait for the body to

<v Speaker 1>be cold because we saw an opportunity. That's why we're

<v Speaker 1>the ops, ops being the key word. We saw an opportunity,

<v Speaker 1>we took it, and we won the trios titles. He said, look,

<v Speaker 1>we didn't come out here tonight to save you. I

<v Speaker 1>don't know. I don't even know what that meant. It's

<v Speaker 1>not like Hook needed saving. Hook literally just walked out.

<v Speaker 1>The fuck doesn't need saving from. But Joe said, we

<v Speaker 1>didn't come out to save you. We have business of

<v Speaker 1>our own to handle. Hook has every right to be upset.

<v Speaker 1>Joe says he made the call, and Hook needs to

<v Speaker 1>realize that at some point he's going to need their help,

<v Speaker 1>whether he wants it or not. He's going to need

<v Speaker 1>their help and they will still have his back whether

<v Speaker 1>he wants to accept it or not. And Hook looked

<v Speaker 1>very frustrated by what he was just told and he

<v Speaker 1>walked off. I'm glad they addressed this. It was very

<v Speaker 1>weird the way that they brought him back last week,

<v Speaker 1>and they just brought him back to attack Wheeler Yudah

<v Speaker 1>and then leave because he came back at anarchy in

<v Speaker 1>the arena. Very briefly, remember he actually assisted the ops

<v Speaker 1>and all the babyfaces, but it looked like he wasn't

<v Speaker 1>really happy with them. And then he turned and he

<v Speaker 1>left because Joe was like all excited to see him,

<v Speaker 1>welcome back. And then Hook just turned around and left.

<v Speaker 1>And it's like, Okay, where's this story going to go?

<v Speaker 1>That was in May. That was in May, So here

<v Speaker 1>we are in September. Now, maybe now we can pick

<v Speaker 1>up with this story. And so at the very least

<v Speaker 1>you have to I have a segment, which is what

<v Speaker 1>we had here, although this looks like it's gonna go

<v Speaker 1>beyond just this one segment, but if nothing else, you

<v Speaker 1>needed to do a segment like this to at least

<v Speaker 1>explain in very basic terms what the issues are there

<v Speaker 1>or what his standing is with this group, even if

<v Speaker 1>it's just Hook going you know what, guys, I get it.

<v Speaker 1>You did what you had to do. But I got

<v Speaker 1>to fight my own battles and stand on my own

<v Speaker 1>two feet. And Joe is like, I respect that, and

<v Speaker 1>they fist bump and they go their separate ways. It

<v Speaker 1>could have been as simple as that, but just don't

<v Speaker 1>ignore the story, right, it has to be addressed. So

<v Speaker 1>I was happy that they addressed it here, and it

<v Speaker 1>was a very basic explanation, but what they said was

<v Speaker 1>perfectly sensible that Hook would be upset, like I got

<v Speaker 1>hurt and before the body was cold, you guys went

<v Speaker 1>and replaced me with somebody else and won the titles

<v Speaker 1>that I should have been holding with you. So, yeah,

<v Speaker 1>that's gonna bother him. It's understandable, and we'll see how

<v Speaker 1>Hook reacts to the situation when eventually he needs their

<v Speaker 1>help and they come out to help them. Is he

<v Speaker 1>going to attack them? Is he going to accept their help?

<v Speaker 1>I don't know. But at least they're telling that story

<v Speaker 1>and they're not just dropping it and moving on, which

<v Speaker 1>they have done with stories before. At least they're not

<v Speaker 1>doing that here. Ricochet was backstage with the Gates of Agony.

<v Speaker 1>He said that his problems with the Hurt Syndicate predate

<v Speaker 1>well before aw His issue is for them, it's just

<v Speaker 1>business for the Hurt Syndicate, that is for them, it's personal.

<v Speaker 1>The Hurt Syndicate have relied on their past accomplishments. And

<v Speaker 1>as soon as he said that total Leona just exploded him, like,

<v Speaker 1>oh my god, he speaks. He exploded, saying that that's

<v Speaker 1>all they have left. Referring to their past accomplishments, he

<v Speaker 1>said Brodido may have won the tag team titles, but

<v Speaker 1>they were the ones who ended the Hurt Syndicate's rain

<v Speaker 1>and their legacies. Next, Ricochet said that unlike the Hurt Syndicate,

<v Speaker 1>they're not washed up. Their future is ahead of them,

<v Speaker 1>and he wasn't challenging them to a match. He was

<v Speaker 1>demanding a match with them in Toronto at all Out.

<v Speaker 1>At this point, Mark Briscoe made his way out to

<v Speaker 1>the ring. He spoke about how he and his brother

<v Speaker 1>fell in love with pro wrestling. Inside this arena, brisco

<v Speaker 1>turned his attention to Don Callus and he remembered Callous

<v Speaker 1>saying that Briscoe had to beat one of the members

<v Speaker 1>of his family in order to get a shot at

<v Speaker 1>the TNT Championship and Kyle Fletcher. So he called for

<v Speaker 1>Callous to come out and reveal his opponent. Who am

<v Speaker 1>I going to have to beat up? Don Callus walks out,

<v Speaker 1>He's got Rocky Romero with him, He's got Lance Archer

<v Speaker 1>with him. I guess that's supposed to be Those are

<v Speaker 1>his heavies. Those are the guys that are going to

<v Speaker 1>watch his back and make sure nobody puts their hands

<v Speaker 1>on him. Have you seen this man, by the way,

<v Speaker 1>I didn't see Loow out there. I don't know. Maybe

<v Speaker 1>he was in the back, Maybe he had food poisoning,

<v Speaker 1>maybe he was in the back taking a shit. He

<v Speaker 1>certainly wasn't on this show tonight we had Rocky Romero though,

<v Speaker 1>and Lance Archer. So brisco is very impatient to get

<v Speaker 1>his answer, Callus said, but he's a little busy getting

<v Speaker 1>Kyle Fletcher and Josh Alexander ready for the main event tonight.

<v Speaker 1>Callous said, Briscoe's natur will take place this Saturday on

<v Speaker 1>Collision and it will be against the Alpha Kenoski. Takeshta.

<v Speaker 1>Takeshta came out, had a very brief stare down. He

<v Speaker 1>got into the ring and had a brief stare down

<v Speaker 1>in the ring with Mark brisco No physicality there. The

<v Speaker 1>best line in this was Tony Schavanni. Tony Shavanni was

<v Speaker 1>commenting on how lean he looks. My goodness, look at

<v Speaker 1>how Lean Takeshta looks. And then Taz is like, dude,

<v Speaker 1>he's he's wearing a shirt, He's wearing a dress shirt.

<v Speaker 1>He's like all dressed up and Tony's like, yeah, but

<v Speaker 1>you know he uh, he just totally busted his balls.

<v Speaker 1>I thought the same thing. I'm like, what are you

<v Speaker 1>talking about? Man? So I fucking dressed up. So Callous

<v Speaker 1>went to go leave with the family. Brisco said he'll

<v Speaker 1>see Takashta on Saturday on Collision, but he wants to

<v Speaker 1>fight right now, and Rocky Romero started to take his

<v Speaker 1>jacket off, and Callous said that he would rather go

<v Speaker 1>with Lance Archer instead, so he went. He went with

<v Speaker 1>Lance Archer. Now, imagine for a moment, just to magic,

<v Speaker 1>if Tony Kahan had even made a modest attempt at

<v Speaker 1>feeding some wins to Lance Archer against some credible opponents.

<v Speaker 1>I'm not even counting the Ring of Honor matches because

<v Speaker 1>he just gets fed jobber after jobber and Ring of

<v Speaker 1>Honor and nobody's watching really or paying attention to it,

<v Speaker 1>So I don't count that. If he's going to be

<v Speaker 1>on this show, then this is the roster that we're

<v Speaker 1>focusing on here, not Ring of Honor. And if he

<v Speaker 1>had even taken a little bit of time to try

<v Speaker 1>to give this man a shred of credibility outside of

<v Speaker 1>the fact that he's a big scary looking guy that

<v Speaker 1>will only take you so far. Yeah, we talk about

<v Speaker 1>aw originals and people that have been there for years

<v Speaker 1>and years. I don't remember if Lance Archer was there

<v Speaker 1>from day one, but if not, he was pretty close.

<v Speaker 1>He was there day two. He's been there for a

<v Speaker 1>long time and there over the years were some start

<v Speaker 1>and stop pushes with him, but for the most part,

<v Speaker 1>Tony con has never pushed him in any serious, meaningful way.

<v Speaker 1>So when he comes out there, and as soon as

<v Speaker 1>they made the match, Mark Briscoe against Lance Archer like

<v Speaker 1>automatic l like you know, before the bell even rings,

<v Speaker 1>you know exactly how this match is going to go.

<v Speaker 1>And that is due in large part to the way

<v Speaker 1>that this man has been booked over the years. So,

<v Speaker 1>I mean, he's supposed to be this scary dude. Oh

<v Speaker 1>my god, this is gonna be a tough challenge for

<v Speaker 1>Mark Briscoe. It's like, well, yeah, it might be for

<v Speaker 1>two seconds, but we all know how this is going

<v Speaker 1>to end. So brisco immediately fought free from a choke

<v Speaker 1>slam sent Archer to the outside. He hit a baseball slide.

<v Speaker 1>Brisco charged again, but he jumped right into the clutches

<v Speaker 1>of Archer, who hit a choke slam on the apron

<v Speaker 1>Rocky Romero distracted the referee. His Archer turned the ring

<v Speaker 1>steps on their side and then he choked slamb brisco

<v Speaker 1>onto the steps as things went to commercial. Back from

<v Speaker 1>the break, Briscoe caught Archer with a clothes line over

<v Speaker 1>the top and a sumrsault Suiceeda followed back inside. Archer

<v Speaker 1>backdropped out of a jade driller before flattening brisco with

<v Speaker 1>another choke slam, only for two. Archer wanted to blackout

<v Speaker 1>brisco though fought free into a shotgun dropkick. Both men

<v Speaker 1>were down. Briscoe went up top only to get cut

<v Speaker 1>off by Archer, who wanted an avalanche choke slam. Brisco

<v Speaker 1>though bit his way free and this I don't know

<v Speaker 1>what happened here. It was very awkward. He hit a

<v Speaker 1>very awkward, nasty looking sunset bomb where Archer looked like

<v Speaker 1>he landed hard on his shoulder. It it looked weird,

<v Speaker 1>and then the froggy bow followed and Briscoe picked up

<v Speaker 1>the wind. So, I mean, look, the match for what

<v Speaker 1>it was supposed to be. The match was solid enough,

<v Speaker 1>but it was a momentum win for Briscoe because he

<v Speaker 1>just made the match with Takeshta for Saturday. He wasn't

<v Speaker 1>losing to Lance Archer. It was the callous family way

<v Speaker 1>of trying to soften this man up, and it didn't work.

<v Speaker 1>So now Mark Briscoe has a win under his belt

<v Speaker 1>and he gets to go in there with the Alpha

<v Speaker 1>on Saturday. And here's the question. Now they have been

<v Speaker 1>building this up to a potential TNT championship match between

<v Speaker 1>Mark Briscoe and Kyle Fletcher, and now Don Kallis is

<v Speaker 1>throwing these roadblocks in his way. Well, you have to

<v Speaker 1>beat this guy. You have to beat that guy if

<v Speaker 1>you want to get a shot at the title. So

<v Speaker 1>he beat Lance Archer right as most people did. He's

<v Speaker 1>going in there against Takeshna on Saturday. And does he

<v Speaker 1>beat Takeshta and then get a TNT title match, Because

<v Speaker 1>that's not how this feels to me. This feels like

<v Speaker 1>they're just trying to throw us off here because mjf

<v Speaker 1>is going to get involved, not in an eventual championship match,

<v Speaker 1>but he is likely going to get involved in this

<v Speaker 1>match on Saturday where it's brisco against Takeshta, and he

<v Speaker 1>will never even get the TNT title match against Kyle Fletcher.

<v Speaker 1>It feels to me like it was never even designed

<v Speaker 1>to get him to a championship match. MJF will fuck

<v Speaker 1>him over this weekend, and then that will take us

<v Speaker 1>into MJF and Mark Briscoe, with brisco never even getting

<v Speaker 1>a hold of Kyle Fletcher. Because you watch the end

<v Speaker 1>of that show tonight, Kyle Fletcher's got bigger fish to

<v Speaker 1>fry here. He's got more important names to be working

<v Speaker 1>with than Mark Briscoe. So I don't even think we're

<v Speaker 1>getting a TNT title match at all. I also don't

<v Speaker 1>really want to see Takesha losing to Mark Briscoe. I'm

<v Speaker 1>hoping that MJF is there on Saturday and screws Briscoe

<v Speaker 1>out of a win and then we can move on

<v Speaker 1>from this. Earlier today, timeless Tony Storm was there in

<v Speaker 1>an empty twenty three hundred arena, saying she wants the

<v Speaker 1>attention of the Philadelphia Freaks. Insanity is relative, so she

<v Speaker 1>promises to be the most batshit bitch to piss in

<v Speaker 1>this sink. What a visual Storm is a woman in

<v Speaker 1>search of her murder, a character in search of a plot.

<v Speaker 1>No belt collector or Forever Champion could take the AW

<v Speaker 1>Women's title from her. So she is begging for any

<v Speaker 1>woman to play the role in the greatest show on Earth.

<v Speaker 1>Not to worry. God doesn't judge. That's my job. I

<v Speaker 1>have no idea who this person is going to be.

<v Speaker 1>They've thrown it open. It could be anybody. You know.

<v Speaker 1>When I think of the AW Women's roster, all the

<v Speaker 1>key players are already accounted for, or she's already beaten them.

<v Speaker 1>Athena had her shot right, didn't work. Athena just got

<v Speaker 1>bounced at forbidden Door. They're not going back to that.

<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't think. Yeah, you think about the triangle of Madness,

<v Speaker 1>and you know Tekla, and then you've got Megan Bain,

<v Speaker 1>been there, done that. She already beat Megan Bain twice,

<v Speaker 1>wasn't it twice or maybe once? I don't remember now,

<v Speaker 1>but so that's been done. Chris Statlander's got her thing

<v Speaker 1>going on Willow. No indication of Willow Nightingale. Jamie Hayter

<v Speaker 1>just came back. She's involved with Tecla. Mercedes is doing

<v Speaker 1>her thing with Riho. So I shift my attention now

<v Speaker 1>to potential new signings, and I do wonder because it's

<v Speaker 1>about that time that they should be available. There are

<v Speaker 1>two women in particular who were let go by WWE

<v Speaker 1>earlier this year. One of them is Dakota Kai. Could

<v Speaker 1>we be seeing a Dakota Kai debut in AW where

<v Speaker 1>she steps up and challenges Tony Storm for the championship.

<v Speaker 1>You could say the same thing for Shana Basler. Shana

<v Speaker 1>Basler has a friend already working in AW and Marina

<v Speaker 1>Shaffir is she on her way in? I don't think,

<v Speaker 1>by the way, either one of these women or the answer.

<v Speaker 1>I'm just throwing these names out there because I think

<v Speaker 1>it's a possibility. I think this, I think would be

<v Speaker 1>very stupid. This is your Women's World champion. You have

<v Speaker 1>set up a TBS title match already for this pay

<v Speaker 1>per view with a woman who just came back, has

<v Speaker 1>not wrestled a match since July of twenty twenty four.

<v Speaker 1>She's already vaulted into a TBS championship match. I think

<v Speaker 1>the person who should be challenging Tony Storm should at

<v Speaker 1>least have some you know, as far as get a

<v Speaker 1>championship match, should have some legitimate reason for doing so.

<v Speaker 1>If they just turn it into an open challenge where

<v Speaker 1>anybody can step up. Well, that just tells me that

<v Speaker 1>they're just shit out of ideas and they have no

<v Speaker 1>idea who to put in the ring with this woman,

<v Speaker 1>or maybe they should have had somebody else beat her

<v Speaker 1>for the belt before now, And now they're kind of like, well,

<v Speaker 1>we don't really have any other great ideas for Toronto,

<v Speaker 1>so we'll kind of throw it open because I don't

<v Speaker 1>know who else it would be. Maybe there's somebody I'm

<v Speaker 1>not thinking of. Don't know who that person would be,

<v Speaker 1>but I feel like now we're at that point with

<v Speaker 1>Tony is as great as she is, She's beaten all

<v Speaker 1>the big names. She beat Mercedes, only woman to beat Mercedes,

<v Speaker 1>she beat Athena. Who's left. Jamie's not ready. I'm looking

<v Speaker 1>longer term, if she's still the champion. I'd love for

<v Speaker 1>it to be Jamie. Jamie's not ready. What are you

<v Speaker 1>kidding me? Jamie is only marginally being treated better than

<v Speaker 1>Wardlow is right now. At least she was going back

<v Speaker 1>and forth I think on collision with Techla. At least

<v Speaker 1>she's doing something. Wardlow's not doing anything. He's sitting in

<v Speaker 1>the corner room my fucking screen right now, there just

<v Speaker 1>doesn't seem to be a great option. Today's episode is

<v Speaker 1>sponsored by Hymns. It's an experience a lot of men

<v Speaker 1>are terrified of. They look in the mirror one day

<v Speaker 1>and they notice their hair is starting to thin. It

<v Speaker 1>doesn't happen at the same age for everyone. For some

<v Speaker 1>it happens earlier than others. But maybe it runs in

<v Speaker 1>your family. Maybe it's a hereditary thing. There are lots

<v Speaker 1>of reasons that it happens. But you see it and

<v Speaker 1>you think, well, that's it. My life is over. It's

<v Speaker 1>baseball hats for me from now on. Seriously, do you

<v Speaker 1>know how many men are walking around right now with

<v Speaker 1>a Mets hat on their head who probably couldn't even

<v Speaker 1>name three players on the entire team. They just need

<v Speaker 1>an excuse to cover up on top. But guys, you

<v Speaker 1>don't need to live your life that way. It happens

<v Speaker 1>way more than you think, and there is a way

<v Speaker 1>be her either. Harley Cameron and Chris Statlander in the back.

<v Speaker 1>Cameron said that she and Statlander are undefeated as a team.

<v Speaker 1>She said that they are headed straight to the top.

<v Speaker 1>They're coming for Brodido. So Statlander calmed her down, talked

<v Speaker 1>about facing the Triangle of Madness, not to Brodido. Wheeler

<v Speaker 1>you to showed up. He's getting way too many segments

<v Speaker 1>on these shows. Wheeler you to showed up. You to

<v Speaker 1>told Statlander that the Death Writers have her back because

<v Speaker 1>Moxley in the past has tried, you know, giving her

<v Speaker 1>some advice. It's almost like he's trying to maybe recruit

<v Speaker 1>her into the Death Riders. So then Marina Shaffir entered

<v Speaker 1>the picture and she stared at Statlander intently. Statlander stared

<v Speaker 1>back at her, and Statlander said that she and you

<v Speaker 1>could tell their friend that they got his message. You

<v Speaker 1>could tell how tense the stare down was getting with

<v Speaker 1>Shaffir at Statlander, and so he said, I'm gonna go

<v Speaker 1>wrestle now, and he pulled Shaffir away with him. So

<v Speaker 1>that makes two people that the Death Riders appear to

<v Speaker 1>be trying to recruit John Boxley, by the way, is

<v Speaker 1>wrestling Daniel Garcia again on Collision this weekend, so we'll

<v Speaker 1>get more of that story then. But it looks like

<v Speaker 1>they're trying to recruit these two people. This is a terrible,

<v Speaker 1>terrible thing. No new members, less members, no new members.

<v Speaker 1>We're going the wrong way here. We had Brodie King

<v Speaker 1>and Ben in their first defense of the aw tag

<v Speaker 1>team titles against of course, the Death Riders. It was

<v Speaker 1>Claudio Casignoli and Wheeler Dah another Wheeler Udah set. This

<v Speaker 1>was the third Wheeler Uda segment on this show. Early

<v Speaker 1>in the match, Bandido started doing the macarena. I don't

<v Speaker 1>know where that came from, but he was doing the macarena.

<v Speaker 1>Brody King politely declined to do it, which is too

<v Speaker 1>bad because that would have been amazing. Bandido connected with

<v Speaker 1>an impressive stalling vertical supplex on Claudio before going up

<v Speaker 1>top for a dive, only to be caught with a

<v Speaker 1>tilta world backbreaker. Claudio launched Bandido to the floor and

<v Speaker 1>then Da pounced on him. As things went to commercial,

<v Speaker 1>Shaffir grabbed Bandido's leg from the floor, which led to

<v Speaker 1>the challengers taking control. Shaffir stood on the apron distracted

<v Speaker 1>the referee while John Moxley came out and he ran

<v Speaker 1>Brody King into the ring post. Claud toss Youdah onto Bandido,

<v Speaker 1>which led to a good near fall. Claudio performed the

<v Speaker 1>giant swing on Bandido, who was still swinging when dah

<v Speaker 1>drop kicked him. Moxley approached Brody while the referee was

<v Speaker 1>distracted by Claudio, and Darby Allen showed up. Darby Allen

<v Speaker 1>attacked Moxley. Claudio went to ringside, he got taken out

<v Speaker 1>by Brody King with a roundhouse forearm. Youdah ate one

<v Speaker 1>as well, and he's in the ring and he's in

<v Speaker 1>perfect position for Bandido to hit the twenty one plex,

<v Speaker 1>and he takes down Wheeleryda and he covers him and

<v Speaker 1>he gets the pin to retain the titles for his team.

<v Speaker 1>A lot of outside interference in this match. It did

<v Speaker 1>not mar the match from being good. It was a

<v Speaker 1>good match. Bandido is awesome. And I don't know how

<v Speaker 1>many of you, probably very few of you, so understandable,

<v Speaker 1>but I don't know how many of you had the

<v Speaker 1>chance to watch part of that ring of Honor pay

<v Speaker 1>per view last Friday. I wrapped up my SmackDown review

<v Speaker 1>early because I was able to watch SmackDown earlier and

<v Speaker 1>it just, I mean, SmackDown sucks. At least it has

<v Speaker 1>it has up until this point. I'm actually looking forward

<v Speaker 1>to SmackDown this week, but for the most part, SmackDown sucks.

<v Speaker 1>So I wrapped that up pretty quickly. And I also

<v Speaker 1>realized that there were some streaming issues with the Ring

<v Speaker 1>of Honor pay per view, and Tony Kah made the

<v Speaker 1>decision that he was going to put the remainder of

<v Speaker 1>the show for free up on YouTube, and I said, oh,

<v Speaker 1>you know what's that's kind of cool and it's smart.

<v Speaker 1>It's a smart thing to do. You may reel in

<v Speaker 1>some new fans, and I was one of them because

<v Speaker 1>I'm tuning into the show and I'm watching Paul Walter

<v Speaker 1>Hauser and QT Marshall in a twenty minute hardcore match,

<v Speaker 1>which was quite something, and I'm like, well, am I

<v Speaker 1>regretting my decision now? And honestly, for the stipulation those

<v Speaker 1>two were given, they made the most of it. It

<v Speaker 1>was fun for what it was. In the old ECW arena,

<v Speaker 1>you gotta have at least one garbage match on that show, right,

<v Speaker 1>But then that led right into Bendido and Hetchisaro for

<v Speaker 1>the Ring of Honor World Championship, and I watched that

<v Speaker 1>entire match. Now, they did not need to go thirty

<v Speaker 1>six minutes, especially when they weren't even the main event.

<v Speaker 1>They saved Athena for the main event. They were second

<v Speaker 1>to last. They won almost forty minutes. That's ridiculous, but

<v Speaker 1>had an excellent match. Like those two guys, they threw

<v Speaker 1>everything at each other. So if you just want a

<v Speaker 1>balls to the wall fucking wrestling match in front of

<v Speaker 1>a hot crowd, that ate up every single thing these

<v Speaker 1>guys did. And you want to see Bendido at his

<v Speaker 1>best because he's a lot of fun to watch, and

<v Speaker 1>not taking anything away from Hetcha Saro in that match,

<v Speaker 1>but I'm just saying it was an excellent match that

<v Speaker 1>those two had. Darby Allen, he continues to terrorize the

<v Speaker 1>Death Riders as he attempts to get that match with

<v Speaker 1>John Moxley, which he's still waiting for, but he's going

<v Speaker 1>to keep being a thorn in their side until he

<v Speaker 1>gets what he wants. Renee spoke with the aw Unified

<v Speaker 1>Champion Kazuchka Okada in the parking garage. I don't know why,

<v Speaker 1>but that's where they were. She mentioned the recent tension

<v Speaker 1>between Okada and Takeshta. Okata said, Takeshta calls himself the alpha,

<v Speaker 1>but everyone knows Okada is the top dog in the

<v Speaker 1>don Kallis family. Bitch. I mean, it's not really an

<v Speaker 1>Okada promo, I guess unless he throws that in there

<v Speaker 1>in the end. You can't really get any more direct

<v Speaker 1>than that. It was simple, it was quick, and that

<v Speaker 1>was the end of that. After a break, Renee was

<v Speaker 1>with Bobby Lashley's Shelton Benjamin and MVP. They were outside

<v Speaker 1>the venue. Asked if they accepted Ricoshet's challenge to a

<v Speaker 1>trios match it all out. MVP said that Ricochet has

<v Speaker 1>become a whiny joke. He wants to know what happened

<v Speaker 1>to Ricky. He used to be fantastic wrestler, but now

<v Speaker 1>he's nothing but a punchline. And speaking of punchline, he

<v Speaker 1>saw Ricky saying that they should respect them wherever they go.

<v Speaker 1>They are given a wide berth, they command respect. They

<v Speaker 1>accept Ricochet's challenge, and MVP says that he looks forward

<v Speaker 1>to lacing up his boots and punching Ricochet in his disrespectful,

<v Speaker 1>bitch made mouth. So that match is now official for

<v Speaker 1>the pay per view, it will be a trio's match.

<v Speaker 1>Adam Copeland made his way out to the ring for

<v Speaker 1>what was supposed to be a promo segment with him

<v Speaker 1>and Christian Cage, but he got attacked by FTR in

<v Speaker 1>the ring before Christian could even make his entrance. They

<v Speaker 1>put the boots to Copeland. As Cage finally hit the

<v Speaker 1>ring to even the playing field, security rushed out to

<v Speaker 1>separate all four men, but they got beat up as

<v Speaker 1>a result. Dax Horwood he got busted open by Christian

<v Speaker 1>during the brawl. It's there was a huge group of

<v Speaker 1>what we were told were Ring of Honor wrestlers that

<v Speaker 1>got sent out by Tony Kahn to try to finally

<v Speaker 1>get these guys separated. I noticed Jordan Olive was out there.

<v Speaker 1>He was the one who ate the spike pileot driver

<v Speaker 1>from FTR. Adam Priest was another one and he got

<v Speaker 1>pie faced by Dax. So Priest started firing shots right

<v Speaker 1>back at him and the crowd was chanting his name.

<v Speaker 1>Ex Caliber brought up the fact that FTR just wrestled

<v Speaker 1>Priest and JD. Drake on Collision last week. After a

<v Speaker 1>commercial break, FTR was backstage with Stokely. Hathaway, who did

<v Speaker 1>the talking for them, said that next time Copeland or

<v Speaker 1>Cage put their hands on Stokely, it'll be a reckoning.

<v Speaker 1>Harwood starts screaming at Adam Priest off screen, so he

<v Speaker 1>walks over and apologizes, Oh, you know, I'm sorry, I

<v Speaker 1>got all fired up out there. Cash Wheeler wasn't having

<v Speaker 1>any of it. He bad mouthed him and said, who

<v Speaker 1>are you. You're a nobody. You had one match on

<v Speaker 1>TV and you think you were somebody. Wheeler told Priest

<v Speaker 1>to get his gear and find a partner, and this

<v Speaker 1>Saturday on Collision they will make him somebody. A little

<v Speaker 1>odd shifting the focus here to someone that has absolutely

<v Speaker 1>nothing to do with this feud against Cope and Christian.

<v Speaker 1>In fact, that someone who, to my knowledge, not only

<v Speaker 1>has he only had one match on AW television, I

<v Speaker 1>don't believe he signed to a contract like this kid

<v Speaker 1>came out of nowhere. So like they're shifting the story

<v Speaker 1>over to him when the focus should be squarely on

<v Speaker 1>FTR and Copeland and Christian. Now we have Adam Priest.

<v Speaker 1>They're trying to give him some rub. It's like the

<v Speaker 1>you know, I mean, they've done this before where they'll

<v Speaker 1>they'll take somebody young or new and then they'll give

<v Speaker 1>him a push for a few weeks and then you know,

<v Speaker 1>they kind of blend in with everybody else. But I'm

<v Speaker 1>not even sure he has a contract with them, so

<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I find that to be a little

<v Speaker 1>strange here. Otherwise a pretty standard pull apart segment. We

<v Speaker 1>had chaos at the beginning of the show, so I mean,

<v Speaker 1>there really wasn't anything terribly different about what they did

<v Speaker 1>here outside of DA's, you know, getting some blood on

<v Speaker 1>his head. The main event of the show was a

<v Speaker 1>Tony Kahan special, his favorite match. It was an all

<v Speaker 1>star eight man tag team match the aw World Champion

<v Speaker 1>Hangman Adam Page teaming with Kenny Omega and Jet Speed Speedball,

<v Speaker 1>Mike Bailey and Kevin Knight to take on the TNT

<v Speaker 1>champion Kyle Fletcher, Josh Alexander and the Young Bucks. For

<v Speaker 1>the Bucks entrance, they had their regular music the lower third, though,

<v Speaker 1>where their name usually would be just said these guys again.

<v Speaker 1>Then they showed footage from earlier today of them selling

<v Speaker 1>signed eight y tens for fans for twenty bucks. It's terrible.

<v Speaker 1>How how you get to treat these guys like that.

<v Speaker 1>It's terrible. So the Babyfaces cleared the ring early and

<v Speaker 1>then they dove out onto the heels. Later in the match,

<v Speaker 1>Alexander set up for a move while he and Speedball

<v Speaker 1>were on the barricade. Kevin Knight, though, took out Alexander

<v Speaker 1>with a dive from the top rope. Nick Jackson and

<v Speaker 1>Fletcher they teamed up for a tk driver on Kevin

<v Speaker 1>Knight in the ring, and then Nick immediately hit the

<v Speaker 1>same move with his brother on the apron or from

<v Speaker 1>the apron to the floor on Speedball, and that took

<v Speaker 1>us into one final commercial break. Late in the match,

<v Speaker 1>the Bucks ended up in the ring with Omega and

<v Speaker 1>Hangman held his hand out. Then Omega tagged him in

<v Speaker 1>and we got flashbacks here of Revolution twenty twenty, still

<v Speaker 1>one of the greatest matches in AW history. So the

<v Speaker 1>former Elite members all traded shots. We were in overtime

<v Speaker 1>here Alexander held Knight up in the pile driver position.

<v Speaker 1>Nick spiked Kevin Knight. Fletcher followed up with a brainbuster

<v Speaker 1>and then pinned Kevin Knight to win it for the Heels.

<v Speaker 1>After the match was over, Lance Archer and Rocky Romero

<v Speaker 1>they helped the Heels. Fletcher hit Omega with a chair

<v Speaker 1>to the gut, which the production crew mostly missed. Fletcher

<v Speaker 1>rolled Omega to the apron and then supplexed him through.

<v Speaker 1>I thought maybe it was a brainbuster, but you know,

<v Speaker 1>I watched it back. It was a supplex off. The

<v Speaker 1>apron threw a table that was set up on the floor.

<v Speaker 1>Fletcher came up bleeding from the back of his shoulder,

<v Speaker 1>so he sliced himself up pretty good. There. As one

<v Speaker 1>of the EMTs tended to Omega, Fletcher grabbed the EMT

<v Speaker 1>had like a headset mike, and he grabbed the EMT's

<v Speaker 1>mic and he said, oh, he's dead. He's dead, and

<v Speaker 1>the EMT placed a neck brace on Omega. Fletcher was

<v Speaker 1>talking shit to Hangman who was down laying in the ring.

<v Speaker 1>He was over by the apron and that is how

<v Speaker 1>they went off the air. Oh my god, they killed

<v Speaker 1>Kenny again. Yes, Kenny Omega has once again, at least

<v Speaker 1>for a few weeks. Been killed off here on this show.

<v Speaker 1>You know, I said it before. Kenny Omega is in

<v Speaker 1>that respect, he is very much like the Roman Reigns

<v Speaker 1>here for them. He will come back, he'll do some

<v Speaker 1>stuff for a little bit, and then they'll write him

<v Speaker 1>off pretty quickly thereafter with some sort of injury angle.

<v Speaker 1>They just did it with Roman Reigns actually the other week,

<v Speaker 1>and here we go again with Kenny Omega being written

<v Speaker 1>off in an injury angle here on TV. I remember

<v Speaker 1>when the Elite were with Okada and Jack Perry and

<v Speaker 1>Kenny Omega came back on TV, right. He was all

<v Speaker 1>dressed up and they beat him up and they put

<v Speaker 1>him on a stretcher and they bloodied him up. Like

<v Speaker 1>we've seen this song and dance before. Lots of action

<v Speaker 1>in the match. I mean, it's impossible to go through

<v Speaker 1>all of it, but you know the usual party match

<v Speaker 1>that you get here with these all star ape Man

<v Speaker 1>tag matches. It's just one big spot after another after

<v Speaker 1>another after another. As those types of matches go, which

<v Speaker 1>again we get them every single week, but as those

<v Speaker 1>types of matches go, this one was good. They put

<v Speaker 1>a ton of heat on Kyle Fletcher there at the

<v Speaker 1>very end, and they set up not one but two

<v Speaker 1>future opponents for him and put them in whatever order

<v Speaker 1>you want to put them in. I'm of the belief

<v Speaker 1>in watching this that they're setting up for Hangman and

<v Speaker 1>Fletcher in Toronto. It's also possible they're setting up for

<v Speaker 1>Fletcher and Omega and Kenny will be back in the

<v Speaker 1>next few weeks and they do that match. But then

<v Speaker 1>who does Hangman wrestle? Right, I would guess Okata or Takesha,

<v Speaker 1>But again I would have done a tag match. I

<v Speaker 1>just I like the idea of doing that tag match.

<v Speaker 1>I know you want to have a world championship match

<v Speaker 1>on the show. I get it. There's been talking rumors

<v Speaker 1>going around that they might main event the show with

<v Speaker 1>Copin Christian against FTR, which I actually think is kind

<v Speaker 1>of ridiculous if you don't have the tag team titles

<v Speaker 1>on the line in that match, that you would close

<v Speaker 1>the show with that, But especially if there's any chance

<v Speaker 1>of that, you can get away with not doing a

<v Speaker 1>World championship match on that show. They have so many

<v Speaker 1>other fucking titles it almost doesn't even matter Hangman Omega

<v Speaker 1>against Okata and Takesha. That's an attraction. Tag team match there,

<v Speaker 1>but it also ties into you know, this this story

<v Speaker 1>that they're telling with the two members of the Kallis family,

<v Speaker 1>so I'm kind of bummed they're not going in that direction.

<v Speaker 1>Hangman defending the championship against Kyle Fletcher. If that ends

<v Speaker 1>up being the match, it'll be a great match. I'm

<v Speaker 1>under no illusion of you know, getting a new champion

<v Speaker 1>crowned or anything like that, and it would be champion

<v Speaker 1>against champion, which I mean, it's not really ideal, but

<v Speaker 1>it's a great spot for Kyle Fletcher to be in

<v Speaker 1>if that's where he ends up. If each challenging for

<v Speaker 1>the world title on that pay per view, good for him.

<v Speaker 1>MJF and Mark brisco it seems pretty sensible to expect

<v Speaker 1>that their rematch will take place on that show, which

<v Speaker 1>is why I think we may see MJF screwing him

<v Speaker 1>over against the Keshtra this weekend. I don't know that

<v Speaker 1>we ever even get to Briscoe and Kyle Fletcher, so

<v Speaker 1>we'll see how that goes. But I thought it was

<v Speaker 1>a solid show on the whole, you know, especially, there

<v Speaker 1>were enough good matches here amidst all the chaos. I

<v Speaker 1>mentioned the women's match I mentioned the TAC team title

<v Speaker 1>match and then the main event, so that was all

<v Speaker 1>good stuff. But I will I will reiterate, you know,

<v Speaker 1>don't bring people back if you don't have something good

<v Speaker 1>for them to do. Don't do it like the Wardlow thing.

<v Speaker 1>I will continue to make fun of them for that,

<v Speaker 1>because it is just so like, there's no excuse for

<v Speaker 1>how comically absurd it is that they would bring back

<v Speaker 1>somebody like that. You know, he's not just a random schmo.

<v Speaker 1>You know, he's not Kenny Omega, but he's also not

<v Speaker 1>some random jabrone, even though they kind of book him

<v Speaker 1>that way, and they should have made a bigger deal

<v Speaker 1>about him being back, and we should have heard from

<v Speaker 1>him and we didn't, and now he's not even on

<v Speaker 1>the fucking show. Like, there's no excuse for that. It's

<v Speaker 1>just it's preposterous to me. Why even bring him back?

<v Speaker 1>If he disappeared and we didn't see him again, and

<v Speaker 1>Don Callas came out there next week and the week

<v Speaker 1>after and the week after with his family, if Wardlow

<v Speaker 1>wasn't there and they had eight people instead of nine,

<v Speaker 1>would anybody notice If people like me didn't bring it up,

<v Speaker 1>probably not nobody would notice and maybe nobody would care.

<v Speaker 1>But that's sad and very, very stupid. Here's a Twitter poll.

<v Speaker 1>How would you grade Dynamite from the twenty three hundred arena.

<v Speaker 1>Thirty percent give the show an A. Nineteen percent give

<v Speaker 1>the show a B. About seventeen percent roughly give the

<v Speaker 1>show a C. Thirty four point three percent give this

<v Speaker 1>show a D. That is with over eleven hundred votes

<v Speaker 1>in and counting. Sarah says, missing one week of TV

<v Speaker 1>is not a concern to me. However, if he does

<v Speaker 1>not show up for a month, I will agree. Well, Sarah,

<v Speaker 1>you're also you know, not realizing or just not mentioning

<v Speaker 1>the fact that even though he was technically on the

<v Speaker 1>show last week, he did nothing. So the way I

<v Speaker 1>look at it is that's two weeks in a row

<v Speaker 1>of no follow up. After bringing him back at the

<v Speaker 1>pay per view, you thought enough to do the angle

<v Speaker 1>with Swerve where he beat up Swerve and he beat

<v Speaker 1>up Prince Nana. And when they're ready to come back,

<v Speaker 1>I mean, if he's not back, you know next week,

<v Speaker 1>I'm sure Wardlow will be back just in time to

<v Speaker 1>be uh, you know, wrestling Swerve when Swerve comes back,

<v Speaker 1>and Swerve will beat him, but the follow up is

<v Speaker 1>so important. It's just there's there's just no logical explanation

<v Speaker 1>for it anyway. At Solomn Monsters, where you can go

<v Speaker 1>vote in the poll. At least we got some good matches, right,

<v Speaker 1>You take what you can get. We are currently at

<v Speaker 1>three fourteen on the likes. Not looking good for be

<v Speaker 1>the Booker. I don't think we're gonna have any issue

<v Speaker 1>getting to be the Booker on Friday, but as far

<v Speaker 1>as Wednesday, it's not looking good. Death scythe again, thank

<v Speaker 1>you for those gifted memberships. He also sent it to

<v Speaker 1>a couple of superchats, said not saying that Punk should

<v Speaker 1>have slapped Becky, he's so interested in Dynamite. His first

<v Speaker 1>superchat is about raw not saying that Punk should have

<v Speaker 1>slapped Becky, but he should have done what Roman Ones

<v Speaker 1>did with Stephanie in twenty sixteen when she tried to

<v Speaker 1>slap him and he grabbed her hand to prevent it. Yeah,

<v Speaker 1>but if nobody was going to run down to the

<v Speaker 1>ring to then attack Punk from behind, she would have

<v Speaker 1>just swung at him with the other hand, and so

<v Speaker 1>Punk grabs her other hand. Now we're at a stalemate.

<v Speaker 1>What happens, then if I'm Becky, I'm just kneeing him

<v Speaker 1>in the fucking balls. Can't stop that. We all know

<v Speaker 1>these people in WWE, they don't wear any protection down there.

<v Speaker 1>I think that's been well established. Also, how much of

<v Speaker 1>a big deal would it be if Mayui Watani left

<v Speaker 1>stardom and went to either WWE or AW It would

<v Speaker 1>be a very big deal. Maybe not to the people

<v Speaker 1>who don't follow Japanese wrestling, but anybody who knows Mayui Watani,

<v Speaker 1>that would be a very big deal. Dry Chickens says,

<v Speaker 1>Happy early thirty year anniversary to WCW Monday. Nitro for

<v Speaker 1>tomorrow when the Eagles and Cowboys play tomorrow night, I

<v Speaker 1>will be playing the Nitro theme. Nitro theme was awesome.

<v Speaker 1>The Nitro theme was bitchin Man. I love that theme. Carrie,

<v Speaker 1>have you watched the new season of Peacemaker? I didn't

<v Speaker 1>watch the first season of Peacemaker. I probably should though,

<v Speaker 1>because it was pretty well reviewed. Joseph Stewart Buyer Sell,

<v Speaker 1>John Williams Superman theme or Danny Elfman Batman theme. Danny

<v Speaker 1>Elfman Man, Danny Elfman for the win. Danny Elfman had

<v Speaker 1>some great music for the first, The Beatlejuice movie too,

<v Speaker 1>Danny Elfman is awesome. Were you a fan of the

<v Speaker 1>Men in Black movies? The first one? Yes, I didn't

<v Speaker 1>see the other ones. If he had stayed in e CW,

<v Speaker 1>do you think Sid would have become ECW champion and

<v Speaker 1>the face of e CW. I mean, if you would

<v Speaker 1>have stayed there and had a longer run, Yes, he

<v Speaker 1>would have been the champion, but no, he was not

<v Speaker 1>gonna be the face of ECW. Will you do a

<v Speaker 1>special review on Raven's documentary? No? If he did not

<v Speaker 1>get injured. Do you think Ahmed Johnson would have been

<v Speaker 1>a big star in WWE? They were certainly pushing him

<v Speaker 1>in that direction, so yes, I think he would have been.

<v Speaker 1>I didn't understand what he was saying eighty five percent

<v Speaker 1>of the time, I mean subtitles on my television screen.

<v Speaker 1>But had he not gotten injured as much and didn't

<v Speaker 1>hurt other people, then yes, he could have gone far. Uh.

<v Speaker 1>What do you think Ahmed Johnson's role would have been

<v Speaker 1>in the Attitude era if he had not left WWI

<v Speaker 1>I don't think he would have had much of a

<v Speaker 1>role in the Attitude era. Do you think Ahmed boy,

<v Speaker 1>you got a lot of Ahmed Johnson questions. Hey, do

<v Speaker 1>you think Ahmed Johnson will go into the WWE Hall

<v Speaker 1>of Fame? No? I do not. Have you seen the

<v Speaker 1>movie Cool World with Brad Pitt and Kim Basinger. No?

<v Speaker 1>Did you know Robert Pattinson? Not? Do I know him?

<v Speaker 1>Did you know Robert Pattinson's performance as Bruce Wayne was

<v Speaker 1>an inspiration of Kurt Cobain and River Phoenix. No? I

<v Speaker 1>did not. Actually, I'm amazed that you do. Though by

<v Speaker 1>or sale the Death Riders or the don Kallis family,

<v Speaker 1>I will still buy on the don Kallis family. You

<v Speaker 1>have a family that has Kazuchka Okata, Kenoski, Takeshta and

<v Speaker 1>Kyle Fletcher. I can't bet against that. That automatically makes

<v Speaker 1>it the better of the two options. Dry Chicken says,

<v Speaker 1>it's Lloyd Christmas, and he has a scale question for you,

<v Speaker 1>a scale question from zero to a million. What are

<v Speaker 1>the chances of brock Lesnar winning gold again in WWE?

<v Speaker 1>I can't put it at zero, but I'll put it

<v Speaker 1>as low as I can go without being zero, So

<v Speaker 1>I'll go one. I think his championship days are done

<v Speaker 1>Joseph says, buy or sell Raven's run in WCW or

<v Speaker 1>Raven's run in e CW, Raven's run in ECW. Did

<v Speaker 1>you watch the show Mama's Family and who is your

<v Speaker 1>favorite character from Mama's Family? I mean Thelma, of course,

<v Speaker 1>Vicky Lawrence. I watched some episodes of Mama's Family. I

<v Speaker 1>didn't watch it religiously, but you know, I was aware

<v Speaker 1>of the show. I saw some of the episodes, so

<v Speaker 1>I gotta go Thelma. Do you remember the Goldberg and

<v Speaker 1>Sid feud in WCW and were you a fan of

<v Speaker 1>the feud. I was not a fan of the feud,

<v Speaker 1>but I certainly remember Sid walking out to his car

<v Speaker 1>in the parking lot and finding that it was smashed

<v Speaker 1>into a pancake, standing on top of it and screaming

<v Speaker 1>Goldberg at the top of his lungs like a cartoon character.

<v Speaker 1>I certainly remember that. I mean, that's a classic late

<v Speaker 1>stage WCW. Dry Chickens says Tony Kahn was helping out

<v Speaker 1>pro wrestling fans today. Sure, unless you were one of

<v Speaker 1>the fans who had bought tickets to the show and

<v Speaker 1>now you can't go. But everybody else, Yes, I agree

<v Speaker 1>Joseph Stewart. How different would Seth Rollins's career be in

<v Speaker 1>WWE right now if they had gone with Roman against

<v Speaker 1>Dean Ambrose at WrestleMania thirty. I think Seth's career would

<v Speaker 1>be exactly where it is now. He would still be

<v Speaker 1>a top star for them. I will say, though, that

<v Speaker 1>would have been a very dumb idea, and I can

<v Speaker 1>understand why Seth would have been upset about that. The

<v Speaker 1>original plan for WrestleMania thirty was Roman Rain against Dean Ambrose,

<v Speaker 1>like they were gonna split the shield in December or

<v Speaker 1>January heading into WrestleMania thirty, and it was gonna be

<v Speaker 1>Roman and Dean one on one and Seth, he figures

<v Speaker 1>he may he maybe would have ended up as the

<v Speaker 1>guest referee for the met Like it's just awful, awful idea.

<v Speaker 1>It's a good thing that didn't happen. Death Sith at

<v Speaker 1>twenty nine dollars super Chat Punk wins the Royal Rumble.

<v Speaker 1>Instead of challenging Seth where he may or may not

<v Speaker 1>headline night one, He's gonna challenge Cody where he will

<v Speaker 1>definitely headline night two, and Punkin say, Seth, you're not

<v Speaker 1>worth it. You never were so fuck you. I would

<v Speaker 1>be down for punkin Cody. I would that, I would,

<v Speaker 1>I would be down for that. I feel like we

<v Speaker 1>would get some quality promos leading up to it. Linclex.

<v Speaker 1>ReHO in the Bank is cashed in credit to Riho.

<v Speaker 1>She only cut one promo in her entire time in aw,

<v Speaker 1>which was translated by Michael Nakazawa. And still over with

<v Speaker 1>the crowd, they Hey, they love ReHO. She always gets

<v Speaker 1>a reaction when she comes out. ReHO in the Bank.

<v Speaker 1>Duff's VIDs What do duck hunters like to eat with

<v Speaker 1>their cheese? Quackers? Quackers death side? What did the priest

<v Speaker 1>say to the altar boy who sneezed, bless you my child?

<v Speaker 1>Like quackers better? Not bad? But I I think I

<v Speaker 1>got I gotta go with Quackers over that gold standard

<v Speaker 1>with the five dollars super chut Aw is just flat

<v Speaker 1>out embarrassing. I know you like to see the good

<v Speaker 1>in a company, but Punk was right. Tony Kahan is

<v Speaker 1>not a boss? Why is that? Why is he not

<v Speaker 1>a boss? You didn't explain what you mean by that?

<v Speaker 1>I mean, I think again, I think he made a

<v Speaker 1>pretty wise business decision. Myself today by moving the show

<v Speaker 1>from eight pm to three pm. I don't know if

<v Speaker 1>that's what you're referring to, but Emperor Comment Dynamite gets

<v Speaker 1>an S plus plus plus just for Riho Enjoy Enjoy.

<v Speaker 1>She will be beaten and thrown into the scrap heap

<v Speaker 1>with the rest of them until the next Mercedes Challenger

<v Speaker 1>is named duffs VID's what's another name for an Asian assassin?

<v Speaker 1>Chinese Takeout? Chinese Takeout Getting Heat AW South Park edition.

<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, they killed Kenny, you bastards. Yeah again,

<v Speaker 1>they killed him again? Leott Paul, Though, do we know

<v Speaker 1>Wardlow's contract status? I wonder what WWE could do with

<v Speaker 1>him and force her gimmick to start, hopefully a good

<v Speaker 1>name and memorable song. You have right, Yeah, he'll get

<v Speaker 1>the Deaf Rebel Special just like everybody else. Not that

<v Speaker 1>his music is much better in AW, but I think

<v Speaker 1>WWE would absolutely take him. They put him in n

<v Speaker 1>XT and just try to get something out of him.

<v Speaker 1>How far he would go, it really depends on him.

<v Speaker 1>I think he could do well. I don't know what

<v Speaker 1>that looks like, though, It depends, you know, how they

<v Speaker 1>use him really and how he acclimates to that system.

<v Speaker 1>I don't know what his contract status is. If his

<v Speaker 1>contract was on the verge of expiring, Tony KHM would

<v Speaker 1>not have brought him back at Forbidden Door. So my

<v Speaker 1>guess is whatever he had left on his contract, he

<v Speaker 1>missed so much time because of injuries, Tony is just

<v Speaker 1>going to attack that time on. So even if his

<v Speaker 1>contract was up in a matter of months, Tony could

<v Speaker 1>probably hold on to him for a lot longer than that,

<v Speaker 1>So he ain't going nowhere anytime soon. Duff's viz I

<v Speaker 1>went to a really emotional wedding last week. Even the

<v Speaker 1>cake was in tears. But Juliet, whoever in WWE WWE

<v Speaker 1>Shop spoiled aj Lee's return on X is probably out

<v Speaker 1>of a job today. Yeah, it's not a big deal.

<v Speaker 1>Who cares? I mean, really, it looked like an AI

<v Speaker 1>generated tweet and it was immediately deleted. But of course

<v Speaker 1>people on the internet, they immediately take snapshots, screenshots, and

<v Speaker 1>then they blow it up into something bigger. Honestly, the

<v Speaker 1>people who screenshotted it and shared that really, if you

<v Speaker 1>think about it, they If you want to blame anybody

<v Speaker 1>for spoiling aj Lee's return, blame those people. Because they

<v Speaker 1>didn't seem to have a problem blowing it up into

<v Speaker 1>a big story where now everybody knows. Uh, Griga, hey Solo,

<v Speaker 1>how you doing, Bud doing okay? I enjoy your replays. Question,

<v Speaker 1>do you think Punk and Rollins have made up after

<v Speaker 1>their beef? Thanks again, well, thank you, Griga. I don't

<v Speaker 1>think there ever was a beef. I think they did

<v Speaker 1>a very good job of convincing you that there was

<v Speaker 1>a beef, and they continue to do a very good

<v Speaker 1>job of convincing people that they really don't like each other.

<v Speaker 1>But I don't think there ever was any real beef.

<v Speaker 1>And I think Seth Rollins is very happy to be

<v Speaker 1>working with Cmpunk, who is somebody who trained him for

<v Speaker 1>free very early in his career, and I don't think

<v Speaker 1>he ever forgot that. Anyway, I am going to be

<v Speaker 1>heading out tomorrow hitting the road. I'm headed to Philadelphia, Philadelphia.

<v Speaker 1>I will soon be inside you because I will be

<v Speaker 1>going to House of Glory, our return show in Philadelphia

<v Speaker 1>tomorrow night, eight pm, airing live on Triiller TV Plus.

<v Speaker 1>If you can't be at the venue, and if you

<v Speaker 1>are going to be at the venue, I hope I

<v Speaker 1>get to see you there. Say hello, but we got

<v Speaker 1>some big matches on the car. We're gonna have champion

<v Speaker 1>against champion, title for title, the House of Glory World

<v Speaker 1>Champion Charles Mason defending against the Progress the New Progress

<v Speaker 1>World Champion Derese Bully Ray puts the Crown Jewel title

<v Speaker 1>on the line. Big rematch against Zillafa two. Bully has

<v Speaker 1>some history in that city. By the way, Shatzi and

<v Speaker 1>Priscilla Kelly go one on one and our tag team

<v Speaker 1>Champion's main event, Jay Lyon and miight As Black defend

<v Speaker 1>the titles against Leo Rush and Action Andretti. So I

<v Speaker 1>will be on the call. I will be there in

<v Speaker 1>Philadelphia tomorrow. Hopefully you can be as well. But if not, right,

<v Speaker 1>no major wrestling shows, no pay per views otherwise on

<v Speaker 1>Thursday night, go check out hog I think you'll enjoy it.

<v Speaker 1>The Yatagaratsu with a five dollars super chat. I somehow

<v Speaker 1>feel like Jay Usso missed an opportunity to call his

<v Speaker 1>super kick yeat Chin music. I'm very happy he didn't

<v Speaker 1>do that. I'm glad he didn't as if enough people

<v Speaker 1>haven't stolen that move and bastardized it over the years. Now,

<v Speaker 1>they're going to steal the name of the move too.

<v Speaker 1>Will I be visiting the Rocky Steps. I don't think

<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna be able to have time to visit the

<v Speaker 1>Rocky Steps. I'm gonna have just enough time to check

<v Speaker 1>into my hotel, put my shit down and leave and

<v Speaker 1>go right to the venue. Do the show, go back

<v Speaker 1>to my hotel, wake up the next morning, have breakfast,

<v Speaker 1>and hit the road so I can get home in

<v Speaker 1>time to do SmackDown. It's a big SmackDown. I don't

<v Speaker 1>want to miss that show on Friday night, so I'm

<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna hit it and quit it in Philadelphia. But

<v Speaker 1>it's gonna be good Night tomorrow and Adam looking forward

<v Speaker 1>to it. And yes, the next time I Am Live

<v Speaker 1>with You will be SmackDown on Friday Night. That will

<v Speaker 1>be around ten thirty. It's a big show. John Cena

<v Speaker 1>making his final appearance in Chicago, the city where he debuted,

<v Speaker 1>and no brack lesnar on the show. But obviously we

<v Speaker 1>will find out. I'm sure Brock's name will be invoked

<v Speaker 1>because he is supposed to be on SmackDown the following

<v Speaker 1>week and then CM Punk He's going to be there

<v Speaker 1>and it sounds like somebody else is going to be

<v Speaker 1>there too, so we shall see the Winston Slit Channel

<v Speaker 1>member for twenty six months, says a great show as always,

<v Speaker 1>mister Monster, Thanks for all the hard work. What is

<v Speaker 1>your favorite pay per view ever? King of the Ring

<v Speaker 1>nineteen ninety three. Something about that pay per view I

<v Speaker 1>love so much. Not even everything on the show is great,

<v Speaker 1>but there's enough great stuff on the show that it's

<v Speaker 1>my personal favorite. I also love that first ECW one

<v Speaker 1>night Stand in two thousand and five. That might be

<v Speaker 1>my number two. Be well, stay safe. I will see

<v Speaker 1>some of you tomorrow, perhaps see you guys Friday.
