<v Speaker 1>Well, what's going on, guys. It is another Wednesday night.

<v Speaker 1>This is your AW Dynamite review. It is March eleventh,

<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty six. I'm the solo monster. You know. This

<v Speaker 1>Sunday rare Sunday pay per view AW Revolution in Los Angeles.

<v Speaker 1>Tonight was the final edition of Dynamite's Final Chance to

<v Speaker 1>sell you on Revolution, and I thought it was a

<v Speaker 1>little curious when they were advertising a press conference. That

<v Speaker 1>was the big thing that they were advertising for this show.

<v Speaker 1>So I thought, well, maybe they're gonna do something in

<v Speaker 1>the ring. They're gonna have a podium and chairs set

<v Speaker 1>up in the ring in front of all the fans, Like,

<v Speaker 1>what does that mean, You're gonna have a press conference

<v Speaker 1>on the show. Well, we found out what they meant,

<v Speaker 1>because that's what they closed the show with tonight. MJF

<v Speaker 1>and Hangman Page. They have their Texas Deathmatch coming up

<v Speaker 1>on Sunday for the AW World Championship. But tonight they

<v Speaker 1>had a press conference that was not in front of

<v Speaker 1>the fans in the arena, which did not seem to

<v Speaker 1>please the fans very much if you were listening keeping

<v Speaker 1>an ear out. Look. I do not want to fault

<v Speaker 1>them for trying something different. I'm all for trying different things,

<v Speaker 1>whether it's WWEE or a W I feel like so

<v Speaker 1>often we get a lot of the same shit, So

<v Speaker 1>I don't want to fault them for trying something different.

<v Speaker 1>They did something different, it didn't work. Don't ever do

<v Speaker 1>it again. Consider it a lesson learned. This did not work.

<v Speaker 1>I know what they were going for as your your

<v Speaker 1>closing go home segment here on this show. I thought

<v Speaker 1>it was a fail. I think there were other ways

<v Speaker 1>that you could have gotten to the big pull apart

<v Speaker 1>brawl that we got there at the end between Hangman

<v Speaker 1>and MJF. So we'll get into what was involved here

<v Speaker 1>in this segment. Again, I could hear the fans, some

<v Speaker 1>some contingent of fans anyway they were they were getting

<v Speaker 1>very restless and they were either booing or they were

<v Speaker 1>chanting boring, maybe both, I don't know, at different points

<v Speaker 1>during the press conference. I'm gonna put that in quotes

<v Speaker 1>press conference. Yeah, I means as closing segments go I

<v Speaker 1>thought this one was pretty lame. But again, we got

<v Speaker 1>to the same point in the end where Hangman tried

<v Speaker 1>to kill MJF by giving him a dead eye on

<v Speaker 1>a barbed wire board. So if you're wondering what kind

<v Speaker 1>of match we're gonna get on Sunday, let me already

<v Speaker 1>know Texas Death Right. You've seen one Texas Death Match

<v Speaker 1>in this company, then you know exactly what to expect.

<v Speaker 1>It's gonna be violent, it's gonna be bloody, it's gonna

<v Speaker 1>be gory. There's gonna be lots of weapons in barbed

<v Speaker 1>wire and staple guns and god knows what else. But

<v Speaker 1>MJF was able to scurry away and live to fight

<v Speaker 1>another day and Hangman again, if he loses on Sunday,

<v Speaker 1>he can never again challenge for the AW World Championship.

<v Speaker 1>Even though I have pointed out a very I think

<v Speaker 1>simple way around the stipulation for when Hangman does lose

<v Speaker 1>on Sunday, which is that he could always win the

<v Speaker 1>Casino Gauntlet at all in and that way he will

<v Speaker 1>guarantee himself a future shot at the AW World Championships.

<v Speaker 1>He's a simple workaround. It didn't exist when Cody Rhoades

<v Speaker 1>did this back in twenty nineteen, but now they have

<v Speaker 1>the benefit of the briefcase the contract. But no, I

<v Speaker 1>do not think that Hangman Adam Page is leaving Los

<v Speaker 1>Angeles as the aw World Champion. No matter how hard

<v Speaker 1>they try to convince me, until I see it with

<v Speaker 1>my own two two eyes, I will not believe it.

<v Speaker 1>And frankly, if it did happen, I think it would

<v Speaker 1>be a mistake. I think it would be a big

<v Speaker 1>mistake to take that title off of MJF Right now.

<v Speaker 1>We also on this show had potentially the TV match

<v Speaker 1>of the year, which is kind of funny because these

<v Speaker 1>two men went out there at the end of last

<v Speaker 1>year and had what may have been the television match

<v Speaker 1>of the year. This time, though it was for the

<v Speaker 1>TNT Championship. It was Kyle Fletcher defending his title against

<v Speaker 1>Speedball Mike Bailey, and they went out and they had

<v Speaker 1>an excellent match, even though it was marred by a

<v Speaker 1>lame finish. Finish wasn't very good. Actually, we had a

<v Speaker 1>couple of lame finishes on this show. This was not

<v Speaker 1>the only one. There were at least two TAKESHTA slowly

<v Speaker 1>seems to be moving away a little bit more from

<v Speaker 1>the Don Kallis family, which is good. This is like

<v Speaker 1>a slow moving glacier that we've seen for a while.

<v Speaker 1>Now you can see where it's going but it's taking

<v Speaker 1>a while to get there. But they moved. I think

<v Speaker 1>they moved the ball maybe another yard down the field

<v Speaker 1>towards the eventual split between Takeshta and the don Kallis family.

<v Speaker 1>And we got a handful of matches added to the

<v Speaker 1>card on Sunday, not only to the main pay per view,

<v Speaker 1>but to the zero hour pre show as well. And

<v Speaker 1>so what we'll do at the end of the review

<v Speaker 1>here I will run down the entire updated Revolution card,

<v Speaker 1>go through the entire thing, give my updated predictions. We'll

<v Speaker 1>save that for the end. You know, as far as

<v Speaker 1>the show tonight, it didn't feel like there was a

<v Speaker 1>whole lot that happened that was terribly important. You got

<v Speaker 1>some good wrestling on the show. You had the press

<v Speaker 1>conference thing at the end, which I just thought was

<v Speaker 1>a dud and didn't really work. But we had a

<v Speaker 1>couple of matches at least on this show that I

<v Speaker 1>thought were fun and that I enjoy not just Fletcher

<v Speaker 1>and Speedball. There was a women's match on this show

<v Speaker 1>with Willow Nightingale and Persephone, which I thought was good.

<v Speaker 1>I enjoyed it. I would not mind seeing these two

<v Speaker 1>women working again in the future. I think this was

<v Speaker 1>the first time they've ever been in the ring together

<v Speaker 1>one on one in a singles match. And remember, Persephone

<v Speaker 1>has a contract with them. She's got one of those

<v Speaker 1>dual contracts, so she's technically under contract to AW. I'd

<v Speaker 1>like to see her more often. She just beat Mercedes

<v Speaker 1>the other day to win the CMLL Women's Championship, although

<v Speaker 1>her title was not on the line tonight. It was

<v Speaker 1>only Willow's title, and actually both of Willow's titles will

<v Speaker 1>be on the line this Sunday. She's going to be

<v Speaker 1>pulling double duty on that Revolution card. We'll talk about

<v Speaker 1>all of it. This is your AW Dynamite review. Thank

<v Speaker 1>you for joining me here on yet another Wednesday night.

<v Speaker 1>shout out for those of you who may have missed it.

<v Speaker 1>The latest episode of The Uncrowned Wrestling Show, episode number five,

<v Speaker 1>is up right now. It went up yesterday, actually early

<v Speaker 1>than usual yesterday on the Ariel hell Wani Show podcast feed.

<v Speaker 1>Thank you for all of the great feedback, so if

<v Speaker 1>you missed it, that will be on your docket tomorrow

<v Speaker 1>of stuff to listen to on your Thursday. But thank

<v Speaker 1>you for all of the great feedback so far. We're

<v Speaker 1>five episodes deep. We got number six on the way.

<v Speaker 1>It's been good fun time. Let's bring up the wheel,

<v Speaker 1>see how many likes we need to do be the

<v Speaker 1>Booker tonight. We know how things go on Wednesdays sometimes,

<v Speaker 1>but we're gonna we're gonna shoot for the heavens here

<v Speaker 1>and see what we land on. Is this going to

<v Speaker 1>be a be the Booker night or not? Eh? I

<v Speaker 1>don't know. We'll see if you want it bad enough.

<v Speaker 1>If you want it bad enough, you're gonna have to

<v Speaker 1>work for it. Five hundred and thirty likes on a Wednesday, hmm,

<v Speaker 1>stranger things have happened. Got some work to do on that,

<v Speaker 1>but that's the goal. Five hundred and thirty likes minimum

<v Speaker 1>if we are to do be the Booker. I don't

<v Speaker 1>know where ex Caliber was. I can't say I was

<v Speaker 1>terribly disappointed. I think Ian Riccabani is great. So hey,

<v Speaker 1>if ex Caliber wants to take a week off here

<v Speaker 1>and there, he's got my permission. He was not on

<v Speaker 1>the show tonight. Tony Schavanni was on play by play.

<v Speaker 1>He was joined by Ian Ravani and Brian Danielson because

<v Speaker 1>they were in San Jose. And I think at this

<v Speaker 1>point Danielson is only appearing typically on the shows that

<v Speaker 1>are out west because he lives that way, and I

<v Speaker 1>know he's talked about when he travels, it really wreaks

<v Speaker 1>havoc on his neck and his neck pain and discomfort

<v Speaker 1>flares up. So they were out on the West coast.

<v Speaker 1>He was on the show tonight, but he was also

<v Speaker 1>the guest of honor, guest of Honor mc whatever you

<v Speaker 1>want to call him, the master of Ceremonies for the

<v Speaker 1>press conference at the end of the show later. So

<v Speaker 1>that was your commentary team. And since they were out west,

<v Speaker 1>since they were in San Jose, guests who showed up?

<v Speaker 1>He popped up on the show tonight. A wild Dave

<v Speaker 1>Meltzer appears. We got an Uncle Dave jump scare there

<v Speaker 1>he is. Look at this, Look at this, Look at

<v Speaker 1>the great one that we have on screen here plus

<v Speaker 1>plus Okata as well. Okata is there too. Yes, Dave

<v Speaker 1>Meltzer was on the show, which I'm sure had a

<v Speaker 1>lot of people talking about everything but the show because

<v Speaker 1>they have Meltzer derangement syndrome here. They can't stop talking

<v Speaker 1>about the guy. But there he is enjoying his aw dynamite.

<v Speaker 1>Tonight say goodbye. So they opened the show with John

<v Speaker 1>Moxley and Claudio Castignoli against Knowski, Takesha and Hetcha Sero.

<v Speaker 1>Yet another battle between members of the Death Riders and

<v Speaker 1>members of the Don Kallis family in this ongoing feud

<v Speaker 1>here with these two factions. Takesha was sporting a black

<v Speaker 1>eye from the match he had on collision with Claudio

<v Speaker 1>and we got a preview here of revolution. As Moxley

<v Speaker 1>and Takesha they went at it. Moxley wanted a Gotch

<v Speaker 1>style pile driver. Takesha, though, escaped into a power drive knee.

<v Speaker 1>Both men were down. This was late in the match

<v Speaker 1>Claudio and Hetchisera. They were going at it when Hetchiesera

<v Speaker 1>almost collided with the referee Mike Posey in the corner,

<v Speaker 1>but he stopped short. He put on the brakes, but

<v Speaker 1>then when he turned around, Claudio poked him in the

<v Speaker 1>eye and then he uppercutted him and then he cradled

<v Speaker 1>him for the wind and the fans booed that finish.

<v Speaker 1>They did not like that finish. This was a weird

<v Speaker 1>one because this whole fucking thing is weird. But it

<v Speaker 1>was weird because the fans they clearly like Moxley and

<v Speaker 1>they clearly like Takeshta, even though they are both part

<v Speaker 1>of what is still a heel faction. Death Riders are

<v Speaker 1>a heel faction. Don Callus Family is a heel faction,

<v Speaker 1>but they love Takeshta and they love Moxley, and typically

<v Speaker 1>they will boo all of the other members, and there

<v Speaker 1>are exceptions to that, but by and large the rest

<v Speaker 1>of them Wheeler, Yuda and Garcia and then they get booed.

<v Speaker 1>So it's been weird since day one when they started

<v Speaker 1>sharing Moxley and they didn't split him away from the

<v Speaker 1>Death Riders. It's still weird, but yes, the finish was

<v Speaker 1>not one that the fans were happy with. Now, when

<v Speaker 1>it was over, the remaining members of the Callous Family,

<v Speaker 1>the ones who were there anyway, they hit the ring

<v Speaker 1>to put a beat down on the Death Riders. Lance

<v Speaker 1>Archer showed up. He even took down Marina Shaffir with

<v Speaker 1>the shoulder tackle. They tried to get Takesha to take

<v Speaker 1>Moxley's head off with a steel chair. They were holding

<v Speaker 1>Moxley and they gave him the chair and Takeshta wouldn't

<v Speaker 1>do it. He was thinking about it, but he just

<v Speaker 1>couldn't bring himself to do it, and he threw the

<v Speaker 1>chair out of the ring. And so the other members

<v Speaker 1>of the Callus family here, they were very upset about this.

<v Speaker 1>What are you doing? And Takesha was trying to explain

<v Speaker 1>to them, I'm going to do this on my own.

<v Speaker 1>I don't need this. So don Callous can see things

<v Speaker 1>are breaking down here. He comes over and he's trying

<v Speaker 1>to calm the situation down and he's saying, leave, leave,

<v Speaker 1>let's go to the back. Go to the back. The

<v Speaker 1>match was okay. I gotta tell you, I am tired

<v Speaker 1>of all of these revolving combinations of the Death Riders

<v Speaker 1>against the Callous family. We've seen a lot of different

<v Speaker 1>combinations of this now for many, many weeks, and at

<v Speaker 1>this point it's time to wrap it up. It's time

<v Speaker 1>to wrap things up and hopefully that will happen now

<v Speaker 1>coming out of Sunday, when we get Moxley and Takeshta

<v Speaker 1>no time limit one on one for the Continental title,

<v Speaker 1>I will say I do like that we are getting closer.

<v Speaker 1>I think I hope to Takeshta breaking away from the

<v Speaker 1>Kallus family. Now, there have been teases of this before.

<v Speaker 1>Obviously he doesn't get along with Okada. Ocada doesn't like him,

<v Speaker 1>so it's been building for a while, but the baby

<v Speaker 1>face turn is on the horizon now. I don't know

<v Speaker 1>if it's going to happen before he has the match

<v Speaker 1>with Okada, or if it's going to happen coming out

<v Speaker 1>of the match with Okada. I think it should happen before,

<v Speaker 1>but I also don't see the match happening until we

<v Speaker 1>get to Wembley. I think that's what this is all

<v Speaker 1>building to. I think this is building to again Champion

<v Speaker 1>against Champion Takeshta and Okada, and that would be the

<v Speaker 1>end of August, which is still quite a ways off

<v Speaker 1>if I'm right. If I'm right, and they're holding off

<v Speaker 1>until then to do the match, but I think the

<v Speaker 1>split should happen before then, so at least we took

<v Speaker 1>another little small step in that direction. Tonight. Now, we

<v Speaker 1>had Renee Piquette backstage with the TBS champion Willow Nightingale

<v Speaker 1>and the new CMLL Women's World Champion, Persephone. Oh my,

<v Speaker 1>as Nightingale said, this is a match that she's been

<v Speaker 1>waiting for for a while, and both of them were

<v Speaker 1>congratulating the other for beating Mercedes Monette. Persephanie said that

<v Speaker 1>she hit Mercedes harder than Willow did, and Willow said, well,

<v Speaker 1>I hope you hit me even harder tonight. I think

<v Speaker 1>I can take it elsewhere. Don Kallis was backstage hyping

<v Speaker 1>up Kyle Fletcher before his upcoming TNT title defense. Mjf

<v Speaker 1>interrupts and he tells Fletcher, I want you to beat

<v Speaker 1>the shit out of that Dollar Store karate kid for

<v Speaker 1>kicking me in the face last week talking about Mike Bailey.

<v Speaker 1>Fletcher got up in his face. He wasn't happy about

<v Speaker 1>being spoken to like that, and he said, I don't

<v Speaker 1>know who you think you are. Maxwell, I don't know

<v Speaker 1>who you think you're talking to, but I don't take

<v Speaker 1>orders from you. I'm gonna go out there and I'm

<v Speaker 1>gonna do it, but I'm gonna do it for myself.

<v Speaker 1>So then mjf just ignores him, looks over at Callous

<v Speaker 1>and says, hey, you got to tell your boys how

<v Speaker 1>to talk to the world champion, and then he walks off,

<v Speaker 1>and Fletcher tells Callus, we'd better not be working for

<v Speaker 1>that guy, and Callus just laughed it off. But that

<v Speaker 1>led into the TNT Championship match with Kyle Fletcher putting

<v Speaker 1>his title on the line against Speedball Mike Bailey, one

<v Speaker 1>third of the now former Trios Champions, as they will

<v Speaker 1>be going for the belts again on Sunday of Revolution.

<v Speaker 1>There was no Kevin Knight on the show, by the way,

<v Speaker 1>which is very interesting because I just got done talking

<v Speaker 1>about all the television time they've devoted to Kevin Knight,

<v Speaker 1>and he's had multiple matches on these shows now for

<v Speaker 1>several weeks, and he was nowhere to be found on

<v Speaker 1>the show tonight. But this was the rematch Fletcher Speedball,

<v Speaker 1>the rematch from the Continental Classic where these two guys

<v Speaker 1>went out there on a random episode of Dynamite in

<v Speaker 1>December and they tore the house down and they had

<v Speaker 1>one of the best television matches of the entire year.

<v Speaker 1>Now they're running it back, only this time there's a

<v Speaker 1>championship on the line, and having seen the match so far,

<v Speaker 1>it's in the running for Television Match of the Year

<v Speaker 1>in twenty twenty six as well. I'm not going to

<v Speaker 1>run through everything they did here because there's no point

<v Speaker 1>in doing so. You should all go out of your

<v Speaker 1>way to watch this match. If I had one thing

<v Speaker 1>to recommend on this show, this would be it. But

<v Speaker 1>here's the cliff notes version. Ahead of a commercial break,

<v Speaker 1>they were actually out on the apron. Fletcher was looking

<v Speaker 1>for a snake eyes into the corner. Bailey, though countered

<v Speaker 1>into a poison run on the apron. Both men were down.

<v Speaker 1>Fans were going nuts as they cut to a break.

<v Speaker 1>Shout out to that crowd, by the way in San Jose,

<v Speaker 1>a very spirited crowd tonight. Always good to hear a

<v Speaker 1>crowd that's loud and invested. I don't care how big

<v Speaker 1>or small it is. You want to hear them make

<v Speaker 1>a lot of noise. We haven't been getting a lot

<v Speaker 1>of that lately uncertain shows, so it's nice when we

<v Speaker 1>actually get it. Later on, Fletcher went for a brainbuster

<v Speaker 1>Bailey Thull slipped out and he applied a sleeper hole

<v Speaker 1>and he attempted to transition into an arm bar. Fletcher

<v Speaker 1>escaped Bailey he at that point was able to or

<v Speaker 1>Fletcher was able to power him up drop him with

<v Speaker 1>a power bomb to escape. They fought over near the

<v Speaker 1>corner and Bailey delivered a poison rona from the top

<v Speaker 1>rope and followed that up with a roundhouse kick very

<v Speaker 1>close near fall. Bailey lined up for another kick. Fletcher

<v Speaker 1>delivered a Mitchioku driver, also very close near fall. So

<v Speaker 1>we got the three minute time call right three minutes

<v Speaker 1>left here in this TNT title match, Bailey missed the

<v Speaker 1>ultimate weapon from the middle. Ocatta showed up at this

<v Speaker 1>point and he had a screwdriver. You know when I

<v Speaker 1>showed you that shop before you saw Kyle put it

<v Speaker 1>back up here on the screen. You see there's Okata

<v Speaker 1>and there's of course Dave Meltzer, and you see the screwdriver.

<v Speaker 1>You see the screwdriver there in Ocada's hand. It looks

<v Speaker 1>look at this picture, it looks like Dave for a

<v Speaker 1>moment thought about swiping the screwdriver out of Ocatta's hand.

<v Speaker 1>He's staring at the screwdriver. I think Dave's his evil

<v Speaker 1>thoughts were intruding on his mind here, and he was

<v Speaker 1>thinking about maybe reaching over and trying to make the save,

<v Speaker 1>but he was able to restrain himself. But as you

<v Speaker 1>could see, Ocada showed up with a screwdriver and he

<v Speaker 1>distracted the referee. Mark Davis then showed up. He fed

<v Speaker 1>the TNT title belt to Fletcher, who blasted Bailey in

<v Speaker 1>the head with it, and then he quickly picked him

<v Speaker 1>up and delivered a brainbuster for the wind to retain

<v Speaker 1>the championship. Brian Danielson said that you wanted Bailey to

<v Speaker 1>get a rematch so that he can get a fair shot.

<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't mind them running it back again, so you

<v Speaker 1>can count me in. You know, they work a million

<v Speaker 1>miles an hour, and I know that may not be

<v Speaker 1>everyone's thing. It's not always my thing either. These two

<v Speaker 1>though they work really well together. They just they know

<v Speaker 1>how to go in there and have a fast paced,

<v Speaker 1>exciting wrestling match and some very convincing near falls in

<v Speaker 1>the process. And in this case, when you have the

<v Speaker 1>time limit, which I guess they had in their first

<v Speaker 1>match too, and you hear that there's you know, three

<v Speaker 1>minutes left, two minutes left, the minute left, it adds

<v Speaker 1>to the drama down the stretch. You know, when you

<v Speaker 1>know you have a you're constrained by a time limit,

<v Speaker 1>and again second time. Now the fans always go nuts

<v Speaker 1>for it. So I thought this was an excellent match

<v Speaker 1>with a shitty finish. That's the best way to describe it.

<v Speaker 1>An excellent match with a shit finish. I mean, it

<v Speaker 1>made sense for what they were trying to do, but again,

<v Speaker 1>just it's a lame finish. It might have been necessary,

<v Speaker 1>but it's a lame finish. Kyle was not losing. We

<v Speaker 1>knew Kyle wasn't losing. And look, Speedball's in the trios

<v Speaker 1>match on Sunday, so they were trying to put more

<v Speaker 1>heat on the Heels and now Speedball is gonna want

<v Speaker 1>to get revenge, you know when they show up on Sunday.

<v Speaker 1>He was this close from winning the championship. In fact, backstage,

<v Speaker 1>a little bit later, Speedball was interviewed backstage. He was

<v Speaker 1>very upset. Then he says that he can make excuses,

<v Speaker 1>but that's not who he is, so he needs to

<v Speaker 1>look forward and not back. Revolution he said, the don

<v Speaker 1>Kallis family will get exactly what they deserve. We got

<v Speaker 1>another standby match in the middle of the show, another

<v Speaker 1>stand by match with Brody King. This is his gimmick now,

<v Speaker 1>and he was in street clothes because he wasn't even

<v Speaker 1>ready to wrestle tonight. He had been searching high and

<v Speaker 1>low all day for Swerve Strickland and couldn't find him,

<v Speaker 1>and then he was hey, you got a match. So

<v Speaker 1>Brody King came out against some poor job guy. The

<v Speaker 1>bell sounded. Poor job guy got wrecked with a lariat

<v Speaker 1>and then a gonzo bomb and that was it. So

<v Speaker 1>you're gonna need to trot another standby match out because

<v Speaker 1>this one didn't go very long. So when it was over,

<v Speaker 1>Brody is outside. He's high fiving fans as he's leaving,

<v Speaker 1>and one of them in a hoodie, wraps a chain

<v Speaker 1>around his neck, and of course it ended up being

<v Speaker 1>Swerve Strickland, and he continued choking him with the chain

<v Speaker 1>in the ring until Brody snapped the chain in half

<v Speaker 1>with his bare hands, and the look on Swerve's face,

<v Speaker 1>it was a look of a man who knew that

<v Speaker 1>he was fucked. He knew that his luck had turned,

<v Speaker 1>and he went to go bail. He got dropped with

<v Speaker 1>the back sup plex big cannon ball in the corner,

<v Speaker 1>Brody grabbed the chain, he started choking Swerve out on

<v Speaker 1>the apron with it. Prince Nana comes up from behind

<v Speaker 1>Brody and he's throwing these weak shots, and Brody is

<v Speaker 1>more just annoyed by this than anything else. But it

<v Speaker 1>just provided enough of a distraction for Swerve to snap

<v Speaker 1>his arm, really his wrist over his shoulder, and then

<v Speaker 1>he was able to scamper off. And it was the

<v Speaker 1>same wrist Brian Danielson told us that has been broken

<v Speaker 1>in the past, so perhaps setting up a story point

<v Speaker 1>for their match on Sunday. I guess we'll see if

<v Speaker 1>the arm and the wrist is going to be a focus.

<v Speaker 1>Very basic angle. Otherwise, I mean, again, nothing that we

<v Speaker 1>haven't seen from these two before. I'm already interested in

<v Speaker 1>seeing it. I'm excited to see the match. I'm excited

<v Speaker 1>mostly probably to see a match that wasn't even promoted

<v Speaker 1>on the show today, which is Androte Elitelo and Bandido.

<v Speaker 1>But those are two matches I'm looking forward to on Sunday.

<v Speaker 1>What they did here, I mean, it didn't really do

<v Speaker 1>much to change that. You know, Swerve cannot well go

<v Speaker 1>in there and lose to Brody. Really I mean, if

<v Speaker 1>he's going to be next in line, which I presume

<v Speaker 1>he is, to challenge for the World Championship, possibly a dynasty,

<v Speaker 1>then he shouldn't be losing. But he shouldn't be losing anyway,

<v Speaker 1>whether he's challenging for the title next month or not.

<v Speaker 1>If nothing else, he shouldn't be losing until Kenny Omega

<v Speaker 1>comes back and gets his revenge for what Swerve did

<v Speaker 1>to him. So, I mean, I hate to beat Brody

<v Speaker 1>because he already lost one big match to MJF. But

<v Speaker 1>it's just not the right outcome here. You know, Swerve

<v Speaker 1>is the one that they're building up as a heel

<v Speaker 1>to eventually challenge for the championship. So you kind of

<v Speaker 1>see where it's going on Sunday, and when the segment

<v Speaker 1>was over here, it kind of felt like that's the

<v Speaker 1>direction that they're leaning towards. So after this, we had

<v Speaker 1>Darby Allen and Orange Cassidy against the dogs David Finley

<v Speaker 1>and Gabe Kidd. They are the dogs now. David Finley,

<v Speaker 1>of course, made his debut on the show last week.

<v Speaker 1>He made his choice. No longer a free agent, he

<v Speaker 1>is now all Elite for multiple years. Danielson said, Finley

<v Speaker 1>despises his father for never winning a world championship. Well,

<v Speaker 1>now we know. I guess why he didn't show up

<v Speaker 1>on NXT this week side by side with his dad.

<v Speaker 1>I guess that explains everything. So Cassidy made a hot

<v Speaker 1>tag to Darby, who hit some coffin splashes. He Lowbridge,

<v Speaker 1>gave Kid to the floor, then he caught Finley with

<v Speaker 1>a springboard coffin splash. Kid returned, he got trapped in

<v Speaker 1>a scorpion deathlock. Finley was able to break that up

<v Speaker 1>code read by Darby, though got blocked. And so as

<v Speaker 1>he's sitting on Finley's back right and this code red

<v Speaker 1>has just been blocked, here comes Gabe Kid with this

<v Speaker 1>fucking great lariat just takes his head off, just fucking

<v Speaker 1>wrecked him with it. S As Finley was posing in

<v Speaker 1>the corner, Cassidy was able to hit a stun dog.

<v Speaker 1>Darby followed with the code red. Finally, Darby and Orange

<v Speaker 1>they hit double dives outside on both dogs. As Darby

<v Speaker 1>place gave Kid on a chair, he connected with a

<v Speaker 1>missile drop kick off the top rope. Cassidy signaled for

<v Speaker 1>an orange punch. He got blasted though from behind by

<v Speaker 1>Clark Conners who came from the crowd with a tire iron.

<v Speaker 1>He hit him with a tire iron. Darby rolled Kid

<v Speaker 1>back inside, but he missed the coffin drop. Finley was

<v Speaker 1>in with a backbreaker across the knee, followed by a dominator,

<v Speaker 1>and then Kid came over for a leaping pile driver

<v Speaker 1>to win it for the Dogs. I still want to

<v Speaker 1>call them war Dogs, but I guess now they're officially

<v Speaker 1>the dogs. See, this is what I'm talking about when

<v Speaker 1>I'm talking about a bunch of lame finishes on the show. Yeah,

<v Speaker 1>in the opening match, we had Claudio with an ipoke, okay,

<v Speaker 1>and then a fucking cradle a roller up. And then

<v Speaker 1>in the TNT title match we had Ocatta coming out

<v Speaker 1>with a screwdriver and Mark Davis with a belt shot

<v Speaker 1>or to hand the belt to Fletcher for a belt shot.

<v Speaker 1>And then here in this match we had you know

<v Speaker 1>what went down here. So this kind of came one

<v Speaker 1>right after the other after the other, and I just

<v Speaker 1>thought that, uh, I don't know, pretty fucking lame. We

<v Speaker 1>go from all that to a tire iron, eh am.

<v Speaker 1>I supposed to be excited by this, but the Dogs win,

<v Speaker 1>which is good because they had to win. Here they're

<v Speaker 1>brand new. You can't be beating them. You just put

<v Speaker 1>them together as a trio. You can't be beating them.

<v Speaker 1>When the match was over, Darby got tossed outside Clark

<v Speaker 1>Connors through Cassidy in the ring where he planted him

<v Speaker 1>with a spear. But here comes Roderick Straw. Now, if

<v Speaker 1>you remember, Roddy walked out on Orange Cassidy a number

<v Speaker 1>of weeks ago. He didn't want to have anything to

<v Speaker 1>do with him. He didn't want to, he didn't want

<v Speaker 1>him in the conglomeration. He just doesn't like him. So

<v Speaker 1>what's gonna happen? Now? Roddy walks out and he teased

<v Speaker 1>taking out Cassidy instead. He threw Cassidy headfirst into Findley

<v Speaker 1>and he took out the rest of the dog, so

<v Speaker 1>it was a swerve. Darby recovered. He threw his skateboard

<v Speaker 1>a Gabe kid. Clark Conner's got dropped with an end

<v Speaker 1>of heartache. Strong stared down. Cassidy offered his hand, he

<v Speaker 1>pulled him up and they high fived each other, so seemingly,

<v Speaker 1>seemingly for the time being, all as well. We'll see

<v Speaker 1>if that lasts far. As Finley's debut. I mean this

<v Speaker 1>was really nothing special. You know, he looked fine, to

<v Speaker 1>be honest with you, you know, week two and he

<v Speaker 1>kind of just blended in as just another guy, which

<v Speaker 1>is likely the kind of role that he's going to

<v Speaker 1>have for a while on the show until they decide

<v Speaker 1>to sort of rotate people out of that upper part

<v Speaker 1>of the card and maybe they'll focus on him at

<v Speaker 1>some point. They'll have him challenging for a championship of

<v Speaker 1>some kind. There's plenty of them to choose from. There's

<v Speaker 1>plenty of belts for him to challenge for. But I

<v Speaker 1>don't know, you for someone who just got introduced, I

<v Speaker 1>don't want to say that falling completely flat, but again

<v Speaker 1>just felt like another guy. And it's week two, first match,

<v Speaker 1>but at least they won, they had to win, and

<v Speaker 1>they have added a new match to Revolution. It will

<v Speaker 1>be Orange Cassidy Darby, Allen and Roderick Strong against all

<v Speaker 1>three members of the Dogs. So that is now on

<v Speaker 1>the card for Sunday. After this, we went to a

<v Speaker 1>Willow Nightingale defending her TBS championship against the CMLL Women's

<v Speaker 1>World Champion Persephone. This was only for the TBS title.

<v Speaker 1>This was Persephone's Dynamite debut. Persephone is a strong gal.

<v Speaker 1>She is very strong. She muscled Willow up at one point,

<v Speaker 1>hit a fallaway slam, and then kipped up to a

<v Speaker 1>big reaction as they went to a commercial break. Later on,

<v Speaker 1>Willow wanted a moon salt. She got it, but there

<v Speaker 1>was nobody home, so she splatted and that allowed Persephone

<v Speaker 1>to hit a release German. Willow, though blocked a charge,

<v Speaker 1>she ended up doling out one of her own. Persephone

<v Speaker 1>hit a lion salt for a close near fall as

<v Speaker 1>the ring announcer announced a ten minute call. Is it

<v Speaker 1>the same thing with the TBS title? I would imagine

<v Speaker 1>it's the same thing. Twenty minute time limit. Pretty sure

<v Speaker 1>it's twenty. So Willow missed a corner charge. She ate

<v Speaker 1>a shotgun drop kick. Persephone went up top and Willow

<v Speaker 1>met her up there. The two of them were jockeying

<v Speaker 1>for position. Persephonie tried a sunset bomb. Willow held on.

<v Speaker 1>She did not want to go, so Persephanie she ended

<v Speaker 1>up getting her. She grabbed her under the armpits as

<v Speaker 1>if she was going to give her a razor's edge,

<v Speaker 1>either that or a crucifix bomb. Instead, Willow was able

<v Speaker 1>to escape and she got a back slot and she

<v Speaker 1>pinned her. She got a flash pin off of a

<v Speaker 1>backslide to retain her championship. Persephonie couldn't believe it. She

<v Speaker 1>was upset, So was I fucking backslide. I'd be upset too,

<v Speaker 1>But Willow Nightingale is still your TVs champion. This was fun.

<v Speaker 1>This was fun. I would love to see them run

<v Speaker 1>this back again at some point. I think the backslide finish,

<v Speaker 1>if nothing else, you know, it leaves it open for that,

<v Speaker 1>because it was hardly a decisive finish, right. She didn't

<v Speaker 1>beat her decisively. She left the door open for a

<v Speaker 1>rematch down the road. But I thought Persephonie looked impressive

<v Speaker 1>out there. And again, she's got the dual contract, so

<v Speaker 1>it's not just well, they have the working relationship with CMLL,

<v Speaker 1>and so every now and then we have a CMLL

<v Speaker 1>talent on the show. She's got a CMLL deal and

<v Speaker 1>she's got an aw deal. Hopefully that means we get

<v Speaker 1>to see more of her on these shows. Obviously we're

<v Speaker 1>gonna see the most that you will see of her.

<v Speaker 1>We'll be in CMLL. But Hopefully we get to see

<v Speaker 1>more of her on these shows going forward, because she

<v Speaker 1>look as fun as this match was. There's any number

<v Speaker 1>of women on that roster right now. I can name

<v Speaker 1>five of them off the top of my head. If

<v Speaker 1>you want to throw Statlander in there, or a Jamie Hayter,

<v Speaker 1>or a Tecler or a Tony Storm up and down

<v Speaker 1>the list that Persephanie could work with and that would

<v Speaker 1>be a lot of fun. Megan Bain, hopefully we get

<v Speaker 1>the chance to see it. We had the Young Bucks

<v Speaker 1>and Mark Brisco against FTR and Tamaso Champa. This was

<v Speaker 1>our main event of the evening, the in ring main event.

<v Speaker 1>This did not close the show, but it was technically

<v Speaker 1>the main event of the evening. I would call it

<v Speaker 1>the party match of the night. But let's be fucking

<v Speaker 1>honest here. Okay, most matches on these shows you could

<v Speaker 1>call them party matches. Okay, they're basically I mean, it's

<v Speaker 1>kind of redundant to say, oh, this is the party

<v Speaker 1>match of the night. They're all they're all mostly like this.

<v Speaker 1>Brisco knocked Champa off the apron before the opening bell,

<v Speaker 1>The Bucks hit double dives out onto FTR, and it

<v Speaker 1>was just mass chaos all over rings Before the bell

<v Speaker 1>even rang, Somersalt cutter off the apron by matt On

<v Speaker 1>cash Wheeler. Briscoe jumped from the barricade onto Champa. He

<v Speaker 1>was setting a table up. Finally the bell rings. Okay,

<v Speaker 1>so now we're officially underway after all this insanity. Now

<v Speaker 1>the match is officially begun. FTR hit the first part

<v Speaker 1>of the power plex. This actually just made me shake

<v Speaker 1>my head. Right, So they have the old power and

<v Speaker 1>Glory powerplex spy, right, they've been doing it for years.

<v Speaker 1>So they hit the first part of it, which is

<v Speaker 1>the big superplex. Down goes Mark Brisco and so here

<v Speaker 1>comes cash Wheeler for the splash. Brisco gets the knees up,

<v Speaker 1>which is fine, okay, he cut off the second part

<v Speaker 1>of it. But as soon as he gets the knees up,

<v Speaker 1>like he's right back up, nothing happened, Like, dude, you

<v Speaker 1>just got superplexed off the top rope. But he's right

<v Speaker 1>back up and just onto the next It's like, gotta

<v Speaker 1>keep things moving, gotta keep things moving. I guess right,

<v Speaker 1>there's no time for that silly selling stuff. We just

<v Speaker 1>got to keep things rolling along. It broke down into

<v Speaker 1>a spot fest from here. FTR wanted a spike pile driver.

<v Speaker 1>Later on, Matt Jackson off the barricade outside. I think

<v Speaker 1>Wheeler was on the barricade and he was gonna jump off.

<v Speaker 1>They were gonnave him a spike pile driver. Wheeler, though

<v Speaker 1>got knocked off. Matt threw Dax onto the announced desk,

<v Speaker 1>so Harwood blasted Matt with one of the monitors that

<v Speaker 1>he picked up, and Wheeler ended up jumping off the

<v Speaker 1>guardrail with a spike pile driver onto the table, which

<v Speaker 1>did not break. Champa caught Briscoe with a running knee

<v Speaker 1>strike for a two count. He went for another one. Briscoe,

<v Speaker 1>though blocked it and he wanted a jay driller. Wheeler

<v Speaker 1>hit him from behind, but he hit the air raid

<v Speaker 1>crash and then another running knee and Tomaso Champa pins

<v Speaker 1>Mark Briscoe to win this match, and when it was over,

<v Speaker 1>Champa set up a bunch of chairs in the ring

<v Speaker 1>and he hit brisco in the back with one of them.

<v Speaker 1>He placed him up on top and he came off

<v Speaker 1>with an avalanche air raid crash through two tables that

<v Speaker 1>were seated right next to each other, and Tomaso Champa,

<v Speaker 1>along with FTR, but Tomaso Champa was left standing tall

<v Speaker 1>here in the main event of the evening, which was

<v Speaker 1>nice to see. I questioned what he lost that championship

<v Speaker 1>to Kyle Fletcher. My concern was that, Okay, he's again

<v Speaker 1>one of many that Tony has signed recently, and I'm

<v Speaker 1>sure we'll see him on Collision, but Dynamite is still

<v Speaker 1>there a show. Is he just gonna vanish from the show?

<v Speaker 1>He did there for like a couple of weeks, but

<v Speaker 1>it was nice to see him because now he's heel. Right,

<v Speaker 1>there was a heel turn, which is another reason why

<v Speaker 1>I like the fact that he got the win here

<v Speaker 1>in this match. They had to follow up in some

<v Speaker 1>kind of strong way because they turned him heel on Saturday,

<v Speaker 1>and the way they turned him heal, I wouldn't even

<v Speaker 1>be surprised if this was his idea. It was like

<v Speaker 1>a playoff of the old memorable NXT angle with Johnny Gargano.

<v Speaker 1>They just replayed the angle that you know they did

<v Speaker 1>with DIY years ago, and it's like it was never

<v Speaker 1>going to be as good as the original. I don't

<v Speaker 1>know why you would have just tried to recreate it,

<v Speaker 1>but I was at least happy that they turned him

<v Speaker 1>heal because you know, he calls himself the Psycho Killer.

<v Speaker 1>I think Champa is better off as a heel anyway,

<v Speaker 1>So I was happy to see that, and you had,

<v Speaker 1>you know, you want to follow it up in a

<v Speaker 1>strong way. There's no better way to follow it up

<v Speaker 1>than with a win. So they did what they had

<v Speaker 1>to do here, and I'm sure that we're probably gonna

<v Speaker 1>end up getting another Champ of Briscoe match. Right, he

<v Speaker 1>did turn on Briscoe on Saturday, so and then he

<v Speaker 1>pinned him here. So it seems to me like a

<v Speaker 1>match is being up. Although nothing was announced for Sunday,

<v Speaker 1>I think they have enough matches for Sunday. And then

<v Speaker 1>as far as FTR in the Bucks, you know, they

<v Speaker 1>gave you a little preview of what to expect at Revolution.

<v Speaker 1>I do still think we are getting a title change

<v Speaker 1>in that match. So they said, we're all out of

<v Speaker 1>commercial breaks. We can't go to commercials. So here's what

<v Speaker 1>we're gonna do. We're gonna pitch it to a video package,

<v Speaker 1>probably the one that they will air on Sunday. Do

<v Speaker 1>they typically air sometimes? They do? Right, They air the

<v Speaker 1>video packages on the pay per views. I know WWE does,

<v Speaker 1>but I don't know. Sometimes AW they just they go

<v Speaker 1>from one match to the next and they don't have

<v Speaker 1>time for all the videos. This will probably be the

<v Speaker 1>one that they air on Sunday, though, at least on

<v Speaker 1>the pre show. So we got a whole preview for

<v Speaker 1>MJF and Hangman and all of the events that have

<v Speaker 1>led up to the championship match of Revolution. So when

<v Speaker 1>they came back live, they had an areas set up

<v Speaker 1>that was not in the ring, who's in the back

<v Speaker 1>somewhere for a press conference, and Danielson was there as

<v Speaker 1>the host, and he introduced us first to the challenger, Hangman,

<v Speaker 1>Adam Page, and then he welcomed in the AW World

<v Speaker 1>Champion MJF. And he was at a podium and they

<v Speaker 1>had a table on either side, and you know, Hangman's

<v Speaker 1>over here and MJF sits down over here, and I'm like, well,

<v Speaker 1>how's this gonna go? And you could see in the

<v Speaker 1>front right. They never cut to like a wide shot

<v Speaker 1>of like everyone who was sitting there the press corps,

<v Speaker 1>but you saw some people sitting up front. I mean

<v Speaker 1>this was I mean, this was about as legit as

<v Speaker 1>the the WrestleMania eight press conference when they had the

<v Speaker 1>room full of reporters to announce who was challenging Rick

<v Speaker 1>Flair at WrestleMania eight right for the championship, but they

<v Speaker 1>pitched it to actual you know, actual people. So the

<v Speaker 1>first person first question. I don't know who asked the question,

<v Speaker 1>but is this just about the world time or is

<v Speaker 1>this about pure revenge? Okay, this was for Hangman. Hangman

<v Speaker 1>made it very clear, this is about the championship, even

<v Speaker 1>though MJF fucked him out of the trios titles previously.

<v Speaker 1>It's not about revenge more than anything, It's about the

<v Speaker 1>AW World Championship said And then there was another question

<v Speaker 1>for someone watching AAW for the first time and they're

<v Speaker 1>watching your match a Texas death match. Now, I want

<v Speaker 1>you to think about that. If you're someone who's never

<v Speaker 1>watched wrestling before and your first exposure to wrestling is

<v Speaker 1>going to be a Texas death match in AEW and

<v Speaker 1>you know how they do Texas death matches, You're either

<v Speaker 1>going to fall in love with wrestling because you are

<v Speaker 1>the most bloodthirsty son of a bitch in the world,

<v Speaker 1>or you are going to be fucking mortified and you

<v Speaker 1>will never watch another second of wrestling for the rest

<v Speaker 1>of your life. There really is no in between. You

<v Speaker 1>go from one extreme to the other. If that's going

<v Speaker 1>to be your first match, it's not something I would recommend.

<v Speaker 1>But that was the question for someone watching for the

<v Speaker 1>first time. What do you want them to leave with?

<v Speaker 1>MJF said he wants them to leave with the fact

<v Speaker 1>that he's a real professional wrestler and that he is

<v Speaker 1>leaving with the AW World Championship, and Hangman said that

<v Speaker 1>Max is going to be leaving in an ambulance. So

<v Speaker 1>the next question came from Baby Huey with the bone

<v Speaker 1>It's a radio station, say I know that, Baby Huey,

<v Speaker 1>And he asked MJF about losing both of his matches

<v Speaker 1>last year to Hangman. MJF called him a tub of goo.

<v Speaker 1>He said that those wins were flukes. Hangman is out

<v Speaker 1>of bullets and he will never be able to challenge

<v Speaker 1>for the AW World title ever again. So then it

<v Speaker 1>was someone from the ringer I think it was. His

<v Speaker 1>name was Chris. I believe what lessons is Hangman taking

<v Speaker 1>away from his pre is Texas death matches And Hangman

<v Speaker 1>said that he now again in the midst of all

<v Speaker 1>of this. I could hear the crowd. They were either

<v Speaker 1>booing or chanting, boring. They were clearly getting very restless

<v Speaker 1>because again, this was happening backstage, so they were watching

<v Speaker 1>on a video wall. But Hangman said that he has

<v Speaker 1>ended careers in Texas Death. Has he has he ended? Well?

<v Speaker 1>I guess he has. Actually he had the match with

<v Speaker 1>Christopher Daniels. I guess that would be the one career

<v Speaker 1>that he ended in Texas Death. But he said he's

<v Speaker 1>bringing every lesson that he has ever learned in those

<v Speaker 1>matches to teach MJF. And he's going to do it

<v Speaker 1>one drop of blood at a time. So Brian pitched

<v Speaker 1>it to another question, this one from Denise Salcedo. This

<v Speaker 1>one was for Hangman. She brought up his past Texas

<v Speaker 1>Death matches and his wins. So her question is is

<v Speaker 1>this the convergence of all of his story here in California?

<v Speaker 1>Just yeah, the last match he had with MJF. Was

<v Speaker 1>it the last match? They had two matches last year, now,

<v Speaker 1>I guess the last one would have been at Forbidden Door.

<v Speaker 1>I think the first one they had last year was

<v Speaker 1>in La at Revolution, if I'm not mistaken. Although that

<v Speaker 1>wasn't a Texas deathmatch, but anyway, he said, it is

<v Speaker 1>to convergence of everything. People have compared him in Max

<v Speaker 1>for six years now and finally they get to finish

<v Speaker 1>it once and for all. This year will be a

<v Speaker 1>replay of Revolution last year, just a lot more bloody.

<v Speaker 1>So that we had one more question from Christopher from

<v Speaker 1>Self Made for Hangman. If you do not win the

<v Speaker 1>World Championship, who are you in aew and Hangman just

<v Speaker 1>said that, well, that's not happening because I'm winning the championship.

<v Speaker 1>But when he said it, you could hear it in

<v Speaker 1>his voice, you could see it on his face. He

<v Speaker 1>was almost stammering over his words, like he was nervous,

<v Speaker 1>like he didn't fully believe what he was saying. The

<v Speaker 1>words were coming out of his mouth, but maybe he's

<v Speaker 1>not fully believing them. And MJF picked up on this

<v Speaker 1>and he kind of smirked, and you know, MJF said that, well,

<v Speaker 1>it's obvious that you're not winning and you're never going

<v Speaker 1>to be able to challenge for the title ever again.

<v Speaker 1>So here's what we're gonna do. We're gonna celebrate. And

<v Speaker 1>he called somebody over and this person hands him two

<v Speaker 1>beers and two red solo cups, and he gets up

<v Speaker 1>and he goes, heng Man, we're going to toast to

<v Speaker 1>you never again, challenging for the aw World title. And

<v Speaker 1>as he walks over towards Hangman, he smacks one of

<v Speaker 1>the beers out of his hand one of the cups.

<v Speaker 1>MJF takes the other cup and he splashes it in

<v Speaker 1>his face, and so here we go, here we go,

<v Speaker 1>and they start fighting. Danielson just backs as far away

<v Speaker 1>from this as he possibly can, and they brawl off

<v Speaker 1>somewhere and again this was clearly staged in like the

<v Speaker 1>area behind the screens in the stage and the curtain.

<v Speaker 1>It might have been in the lobby like right behind that, uh,

<v Speaker 1>because they soon brawled out into the arena, more specifically

<v Speaker 1>into the crowd, and they're fighting through the fans and

<v Speaker 1>one of the security guys gets pulled in by MJF

<v Speaker 1>as Hangman is about to throw a punch, and he

<v Speaker 1>decks the security guy by accident, so down he goes.

<v Speaker 1>So they wound up in the ring. Hangman mounts him

<v Speaker 1>with punches, but security pours out all these security goofs

<v Speaker 1>they hit the ring to break them up. Hangman punches

<v Speaker 1>each one of them out. While this is happening, MJF

<v Speaker 1>is down in the corner. You could see him putting

<v Speaker 1>the dynamite diamond ring on his finger. And after Hangman

<v Speaker 1>has knocked down all of the security goofs. MJF gets up.

<v Speaker 1>He charges at him like he's gonna hit him with

<v Speaker 1>the ring, but he gets scooped up and Hangman drops

<v Speaker 1>him on his head with a dead eye. So Hangman

<v Speaker 1>goes under the ring. He pulls out a barbed wire board,

<v Speaker 1>just to give you a little taste of what we

<v Speaker 1>can expect on Sunday, and he leaves the board lying

<v Speaker 1>on the ground outside. He goes in the ring. He

<v Speaker 1>brings MJF out onto the apron and he picks him

<v Speaker 1>up like he's gonna give him a dead eye. He's

<v Speaker 1>gonna give this guy a dead eye. Off the apron,

<v Speaker 1>down onto the barbed wire board. MJF realizes this and says,

<v Speaker 1>you ain't gonna do that to me, and so he's

<v Speaker 1>able to escape and he scampers off through the crowd,

<v Speaker 1>and that is how they went off the air. That

<v Speaker 1>was their final tease for the World Championship match. Their

<v Speaker 1>final hot like big cell to the audience was a

<v Speaker 1>press conference. By the way, how are you going to

<v Speaker 1>have a press conference on this show and Dave Meltzer

<v Speaker 1>is in the building and you don't have Dave Meltzer

<v Speaker 1>asking a question during the press conference? How are you

<v Speaker 1>gonna do that? This didn't work. This didn't work. I

<v Speaker 1>appreciate them trying something different for a change instead of

<v Speaker 1>just having you know, just I guess, a regular face

<v Speaker 1>to face. Honestly, compared to what they did here, it

<v Speaker 1>would have been no better and no worse, and it

<v Speaker 1>would have resulted in exactly the same pull up art brawl,

<v Speaker 1>but at least it would have been in front of

<v Speaker 1>the fans and you wouldn't have had people chanting, boring.

<v Speaker 1>They tried something different. It didn't work. Don't do this again.

<v Speaker 1>You want to do a press conference, that's fine, but

<v Speaker 1>you don't do it in the you know, kind of

<v Speaker 1>the go home segment here on the final dynamite before

<v Speaker 1>your big pay per view. There are other ways to

<v Speaker 1>go about doing stuff like this, and this ain't it.

<v Speaker 1>This ain't it. This was. This was a swing and

<v Speaker 1>a miss is what this was. As far as the

<v Speaker 1>rest of the show goes again, you got some good wrestling.

<v Speaker 1>Excellent match again between Kyle Fletcher and Mike Bailey. Those

<v Speaker 1>guys bring it every single time. They just, I don't know,

<v Speaker 1>they bring out the best at each other. I enjoyed

<v Speaker 1>the women's match. To me, those are the two best

<v Speaker 1>parts of the show for me, and the rest of it.

<v Speaker 1>The rest of it was just kind of there. They

<v Speaker 1>didn't do a whole hell of a lot that was

<v Speaker 1>any different than probably they've done over the last week

<v Speaker 1>or two. It was a lot of similarities and some

<v Speaker 1>of the stuff that they did, so they didn't really

<v Speaker 1>move the needle too much for me. On Revolution, there's

<v Speaker 1>some really strong matches on paper that are on that card.

<v Speaker 1>I think it's going to be a really good pay

<v Speaker 1>per view. I just can't say that tonight's show is

<v Speaker 1>any great shakes. This week's episode is sponsored by Wicks.

<v Speaker 1>We got to talk about Wicks's new Harmony editor. This

<v Speaker 1>thing makes it incredibly easy to create a website from scratch,

<v Speaker 1>right down to the way that you always pictured it

<v Speaker 1>in your head. It's insane. I only wish this existed

<v Speaker 1>years ago and I created my first website. Would have

<v Speaker 1>saved me a lot of grief. It is the new

<v Speaker 1>way to create websites. You just type in a prompt

<v Speaker 1>and you can get yourself set up with a professional

<v Speaker 1>website in no time. And my favorite part is the

<v Speaker 1>way that it allows you to jump back and forth

<v Speaker 1>between AI and hands on editing whenever you want, so

<v Speaker 1>you get the speed and efficiency of AI and your

<v Speaker 1>own personal AI agent named Aria, along with the precision

<v Speaker 1>of your own hands so you stay in control of

<v Speaker 1>every little detail to help you build your site and

<v Speaker 1>manage your business, whatever that may be. It could be

<v Speaker 1>for your podcast like this one that you're listening to

<v Speaker 1>right now, it could be a product, a service, anything,

<v Speaker 1>literally anything, and enjoy easy domain registration with web hosting included.

<v Speaker 1>It's the new way to create websites. Trust Wix with

<v Speaker 1>yours and see what they can do for you. Visit

<v Speaker 1>wix dot com slash harmony. That's wix dot com slash harmony.

<v Speaker 1>But speaking of that pay per view, let's talk about

<v Speaker 1>this updated card here. Because we now have what I

<v Speaker 1>assume I shouldn't. I shouldn't even say that, because I

<v Speaker 1>know the way Tony operates, He'll probably add something else.

<v Speaker 1>We'll probably get one or two more things added to

<v Speaker 1>the fucking Zero Hour. But for the time being, this

<v Speaker 1>is the up to date complete card here for Revolution.

<v Speaker 1>Ricochet not on the show tonight, but he will be

<v Speaker 1>and he will not be on the Revolution main card either.

<v Speaker 1>He's on the pre show. Ricochet is defending the National

<v Speaker 1>Championship against nineteen or twenty twenty twenty other men. It's

<v Speaker 1>a twenty one man blackjack Battle Royal. We have not

<v Speaker 1>had one of these in about three years, I believe,

<v Speaker 1>since Double or Nothing twenty twenty three. The only other

<v Speaker 1>person we know in this Battle Royal is Tamaso Champa.

<v Speaker 1>We do not know the names of anyone else. Maybe

<v Speaker 1>Big Boom Aj of the Costco guys will end up

<v Speaker 1>in there. We don't know anybody else in the Battle Royal,

<v Speaker 1>so it's kind of hard to make a prediction here.

<v Speaker 1>But I'm gonna say Ricochet retains. I don't see him

<v Speaker 1>losing the title. Now. Also added to the Zero Hour,

<v Speaker 1>Willa Nightingale is going to be putting her TVs championship

<v Speaker 1>on the line against Lena Cross, who just debuted. I

<v Speaker 1>don't know that she has has she does she wrestle

<v Speaker 1>on collision, Maybe she did. If she's had a match

<v Speaker 1>she's had one, But then again, Persephone got a tv

<v Speaker 1>S title match, so it kind of doesn't matter. You know,

<v Speaker 1>Mark Briscoe lost the TNT Championship to Tamaso Champa in

<v Speaker 1>Champa's first match in aw They don't have rankings anymore,

<v Speaker 1>so anybody can get a title shot at any given time.

<v Speaker 1>It don't matter. So Lena Cross is going to go

<v Speaker 1>in there and get a TBS title match against Willow,

<v Speaker 1>and I hear this and I'm like, would they do

<v Speaker 1>a title change here? I don't think they should. I

<v Speaker 1>think she should lose the tag belts before she loses

<v Speaker 1>the TBS title. Now, if she was wrestling Megan Bain,

<v Speaker 1>I would feel different because then I would do a

<v Speaker 1>title change with Lean Across. I wouldn't do it yet.

<v Speaker 1>So I was picking Willow to win this match, and

<v Speaker 1>I'm sticking with that. But then we got the announcement

<v Speaker 1>that that will not be the only time we see

<v Speaker 1>Willow and Lena wrestling on Sunday, because not only are

<v Speaker 1>they having a singles match on the pre show, they

<v Speaker 1>have been added to the main card as well, and

<v Speaker 1>Willow and Harley Cameron are going to be defending their

<v Speaker 1>tag team titles against Leana Cross and Megan Bain. So

<v Speaker 1>these two women are going to be pulling double duty

<v Speaker 1>on Sunday, and in that case, we need a title change.

<v Speaker 1>We need those tag team titles to come over to

<v Speaker 1>Megan Bane and Lenacross. And I fully believe one hundred

<v Speaker 1>and ten percent that had Penelope Ford not gotten hurt

<v Speaker 1>a few weeks ago, the tag belts would already be

<v Speaker 1>on Megan Baine and Penelope Ford instead. Penelope is going

<v Speaker 1>to be out for a while. Tony Kahn had an

<v Speaker 1>update the other day and her injury is worse than

<v Speaker 1>they expected, so it's going to be many weeks, if

<v Speaker 1>not months, he said, before we see her back in

<v Speaker 1>the ring again. So thankfully for them, they had associated

<v Speaker 1>Lean Across with the two of them. You just sub

<v Speaker 1>her in there for Penelope. Put the belts on the

<v Speaker 1>two of them. There's no reason. There's no reason not to.

<v Speaker 1>I still don't know why Willow has two belts. So

<v Speaker 1>we're gonna get new tag team champions on Sunday. We

<v Speaker 1>have Darby Allen Orange Cass City in Roderick Strong against

<v Speaker 1>David Finley, Gabe Kid and Clark Conners. This should be

<v Speaker 1>a win for the dogs again. They're just trying to

<v Speaker 1>get this crew established. There's no reason for them to

<v Speaker 1>lose this match. They won tonight, they should win on

<v Speaker 1>Sunday as well. Timeless Tony Storm won on one with

<v Speaker 1>Marina Shaffir. Everyone is banned from ringside, the Conglomeration, the

<v Speaker 1>death Riders, no one is allowed at ringside. This will

<v Speaker 1>be a win for Timeless Tony Storm. Kenoski Takeshta, John

<v Speaker 1>Moxley aw Continental Championship, no time limit. When they had

<v Speaker 1>their first match in Australia, they went to a time

<v Speaker 1>limit draw. I was hoping for a title change there.

<v Speaker 1>We didn't get it, but it felt like they're going

<v Speaker 1>to have to run this back. Well, here we are

<v Speaker 1>now we have to get a winner, right, there's no

<v Speaker 1>bullshit here. Someone's winning and someone's losing, and the person

<v Speaker 1>who wins should be Knoski Takashta. So he gets his

<v Speaker 1>hands on that continental title and you use that to

<v Speaker 1>further the issues with him and Okado Okada, sus he

<v Speaker 1>wins a championship because he's been mocking Takeshta like I

<v Speaker 1>have a belt, Kyle has a belt. Even fucking Mark

<v Speaker 1>Davis has a belt. You know who doesn't have a belt, Takeshta. Well,

<v Speaker 1>now Takeshta will have a belt, and that's not gonna

<v Speaker 1>sit well with Okada, and so you could just kind

<v Speaker 1>of go from there. Takeshta should win that title. Takesha

<v Speaker 1>needs to win this match. John Moxley's been going out

<v Speaker 1>there every week on television. He's wrestling everybody. He's been

<v Speaker 1>going down the line, every member of this fucking family,

<v Speaker 1>even El Clone, Mark Davis, up and down the line.

<v Speaker 1>Josh Alexander, it's time. It's time. It's time to take

<v Speaker 1>this title, this useless title. Useless though it may be.

<v Speaker 1>At least they could further the story here with these

<v Speaker 1>other two and put it on Kenoski Takeshta. We have

<v Speaker 1>Kazuska Okada, speaking of which, who not only is the

<v Speaker 1>International Champion, he's one third of the Trios Champions, tagging

<v Speaker 1>with Kyle Fletcher and Mark Davis to defend those Trios

<v Speaker 1>titles against Kevin Knight, Mike Bailey and Mystico. Why because

<v Speaker 1>it's Mystico and Tony Kahn says, Hey, if I can

<v Speaker 1>get mystic Goo on my show, I want him on

<v Speaker 1>my show. Okay. It literally the only the only real

<v Speaker 1>uh thing to say about Mystico's involvement in this match.

<v Speaker 1>At least there is story and bad blood with Jet

<v Speaker 1>Speed and the Callous Family. But again, Mystico being thrown

<v Speaker 1>in there. He's literally just being thrown into the match.

<v Speaker 1>You know, Hangman was their partner. Hangman's a little busy

<v Speaker 1>on Sunday. We need it, We need a replacement. Hey,

<v Speaker 1>let's call Mystico. Okay, they're not winning. Callous Family is

<v Speaker 1>holding onto these titles. They just won them. They just

<v Speaker 1>won these titles. It would be uh, it would be

<v Speaker 1>I would be sad for Mark Davis as quickly as

<v Speaker 1>he got a belt if they took it away from him.

<v Speaker 1>So for Mark Davis's sake, let's give him a little

<v Speaker 1>more time with the belt. So then we have Tecla

<v Speaker 1>defending her aw Women's World Championship against the former champion,

<v Speaker 1>Chris Statlander. This will be two out of three falls.

<v Speaker 1>I'm going with Tecla to retain Brodie King and Swerve Strickland.

<v Speaker 1>One on one has got to be a win for Swerve.

<v Speaker 1>Swerve is the one who's being built up either for

<v Speaker 1>the rematch with Kenny Omega World Championship match with MJF

<v Speaker 1>or Hangmen. I suppose it's possible either way. You got

<v Speaker 1>to give him the win here. Androde Liedlo one on

<v Speaker 1>one with Bandido. There's no story here. There's no story here,

<v Speaker 1>but it's going to be a kick ass match, and

<v Speaker 1>I think Androti is going to pick up the win.

<v Speaker 1>FTR puts the AW World Tag Team titles on the

<v Speaker 1>line against the Young Bucks. I still feel like we're

<v Speaker 1>gonna get a title change here. I'm going with the

<v Speaker 1>Bucks for the win, and perhaps we will get the

<v Speaker 1>return of Copeland and Christian and they will play some

<v Speaker 1>sort of role here and we'll circle back around to

<v Speaker 1>them in FTR, only without the belts on the line.

<v Speaker 1>And then in the main event, MJF puts the AW

<v Speaker 1>World Championship on the line Texas Death against Hangman Adam Page.

<v Speaker 1>If Hangman loses, he can never again challenge for the

<v Speaker 1>AW World title, at least not until he wins the

<v Speaker 1>Casino Golman. MJF is not losing this title. I know

<v Speaker 1>they want you to believe that Hangman is going to win.

<v Speaker 1>He's not gonna win. I think MJF is retaining and

<v Speaker 1>I believe the very good chance that Swerve Strickland is

<v Speaker 1>going to factor into the finish here. I think he

<v Speaker 1>is looking for clear road to get back to the championship.

<v Speaker 1>He already took out Kenny Omega. Now he has the

<v Speaker 1>chance to take out Hangman for good and he will

<v Speaker 1>have a clear path to MJF in that world title.

<v Speaker 1>This alliance with him and Hangman is going to be

<v Speaker 1>short lived. I think he plays a role in this

<v Speaker 1>in some way. I do, But either way, MJF is

<v Speaker 1>going to win. So that's the card. We'll see if

<v Speaker 1>they add one more, two more. I think they're taping

<v Speaker 1>Collision tonight to air on Saturday, so we'll find out.

<v Speaker 1>And I am planning on being live so when this

<v Speaker 1>pay per view is over on Sunday night, at god

<v Speaker 1>knows what hour, I'll be live with you on YouTube

<v Speaker 1>and we'll talk about Revolution. So that's coming up on Sunday.

<v Speaker 1>You get to podcasts on Sunday, get episode nine fifty

<v Speaker 1>five of the SoundOff earlier in the day, and then

<v Speaker 1>you get your Revolution review at night. See look at that.

<v Speaker 1>Aren't you excited? Just take a look at the Twitter

<v Speaker 1>pol What did you think of Dynamite in San jose

<v Speaker 1>sixty percent thumbs up for tonight's show and roughly thumbs

<v Speaker 1>down sixty forty split for Dynamite Tonight. Get those votes

<v Speaker 1>in on x at Solabonsters the place to go. Let's

<v Speaker 1>take a look at your super chats here. I thank

<v Speaker 1>those of you who have dropped one. I do appreciate it.

<v Speaker 1>It's a very slow night. We are not hitting the

<v Speaker 1>goal for be the Booker. I believe the goal was

<v Speaker 1>five twenty right, five twenty five thirty. I think it

<v Speaker 1>was five thirty. Yeah, we're about two hundred likes off,

<v Speaker 1>so it doesn't look like that's gonna happen. So I'll

<v Speaker 1>try to get you out of here. Joseph Stewart, Happy

<v Speaker 1>Wednesday to you, my friend. As you know, I'm a

<v Speaker 1>big Motu fan, so of course I'm gonna buy on

<v Speaker 1>that and the Sopranos over the Godfather. Kate Winslet has

<v Speaker 1>been cast as the female lead in The Lord of

<v Speaker 1>the Rings The Hunt for a Gollum. I can't wait

<v Speaker 1>to not watch it. I didn't make it. I didn't

<v Speaker 1>make it to the end of the first one. I

<v Speaker 1>fell asleep, so I never watched the other two or

<v Speaker 1>the Hobbit or any of the other spinoffs that there

<v Speaker 1>may have been, so I can't say I have any

<v Speaker 1>interest in it. If you do, I hope it's at

<v Speaker 1>least a quality film, but I will not be seeing it.

<v Speaker 1>I got at least five movies I'm interested in seeing

<v Speaker 1>this year, and that ain't one of them. Although I

<v Speaker 1>guess if she was just cast, I guess it's not

<v Speaker 1>coming out this year. Daniel Craig reportedly turned down the

<v Speaker 1>role of Christopher Dent, Harvey Den's father in The Batman

<v Speaker 1>Part two. You mean James Bond turned down the role

<v Speaker 1>of Christopher Dent. He was in a good movie many

<v Speaker 1>years ago called Layer Cake. I should check that out.

<v Speaker 1>Have you seen the movie Practical Magic, Nicole Kidman and

<v Speaker 1>Sandra Bullock? I have not. Have you seen the Sandra

<v Speaker 1>Bullock movie Miss Congeniality? Yes? I have. The movie Soap Dish.

<v Speaker 1>Never heard of it. A Bugs Life? I never saw

<v Speaker 1>Bugs Life. Never did Joseph. Thank you. I hope you

<v Speaker 1>have a great rest of your week. Hey, Oscar, I

<v Speaker 1>did get your message before, I guess. Thank you for

<v Speaker 1>the heads up. And as far as I know, that

<v Speaker 1>account is not following me, but it has been blocked,

<v Speaker 1>So thank you the shoulder Demon. There's too many bald

<v Speaker 1>wrestlers in AW. Any more of this and I may

<v Speaker 1>have to show up next week break shoulders and make

<v Speaker 1>them humble. Well, if there's one thing that AW certainly

<v Speaker 1>does not need more of, it is injuries. So please,

<v Speaker 1>shoulder Demon, do not do that. Chicago for MBK, Fletcher

<v Speaker 1>and Speedball had Mello had a mellow dragonov vibe. Hey,

<v Speaker 1>some guys just they just click, you know, they just

<v Speaker 1>click in the ring. Cory Blake, Hey, Corey, thank you

<v Speaker 1>for the twenty I appreciate that. Hey solo, Today is

<v Speaker 1>my fortieth birthday. I wanted to ask you, besides John Cena,

<v Speaker 1>who had the best back to back years in the

<v Speaker 1>Ruthless Aggression era? My choice is Randy Orton in two

<v Speaker 1>thousand and four and two thousand and five. Would you agree?

<v Speaker 1>I would not agree. I would not agree. My choice

<v Speaker 1>would be brock Lesner two thousand and two and two

<v Speaker 1>thousand and three. That is the correct answer. Randy Orton.

<v Speaker 1>He had a good back to back, but he didn't

<v Speaker 1>have a brock Lesner back to back. Thank you, Corey,

<v Speaker 1>we got dev to dust. I showed you to one

<v Speaker 1>of my friends. He says, you sound like the baseball

<v Speaker 1>slash football commentator Joe Buck. Well, I think I'm more

<v Speaker 1>generally interesting and exciting than Joe Buck. Joe Buck's been

<v Speaker 1>doing this for a very long time. I appreciate the comparison,

<v Speaker 1>but I don't know. I think I'm a little more

<v Speaker 1>exciting than Joe Buck. An Arabian Night, solid episode match wise,

<v Speaker 1>but zero in ring promo segments, hyping pay per view matches. Also,

<v Speaker 1>why twelve matches on Sunday, especially with Mox and Takeshta

<v Speaker 1>going long one am finish? Well, if that happens, We're

<v Speaker 1>just gonna shut this shit down and I ain't going

<v Speaker 1>live even I have my limits. Why twelve matches? Because

<v Speaker 1>that's it's aw dude, like they can't help themselves. Of course,

<v Speaker 1>it's it's you know, every now and then or a

<v Speaker 1>big show like all In or something. Okay, fine, but

<v Speaker 1>I mean they do this shit all the time. No

<v Speaker 1>nobody should be surprised by this. But yeah, again, like

<v Speaker 1>they tried that with a press conference as far as

<v Speaker 1>a promo segment, and it just it didn't hit, you know,

<v Speaker 1>it just didn't work. And then you had all these

<v Speaker 1>you know, you had these matches up and down the

<v Speaker 1>car that were very fast paced and everything. But you know,

<v Speaker 1>it would have it would have benefited by having, like

<v Speaker 1>you said, some some more promo related stuff to really

<v Speaker 1>drive home, you know, some of the stories or or

<v Speaker 1>some of the issues between some of the parties involved,

<v Speaker 1>and that just really wasn't there. And David Wilson Layer

<v Speaker 1>Cake is in fact very underrated. Good film, good soundtrack too. Yeah,

<v Speaker 1>go check that out. I don't remember what year that

<v Speaker 1>came out. I want to say that was actually right

<v Speaker 1>before he became Bond. I don't know if that's the

<v Speaker 1>film that got him noticed, but I think it might

<v Speaker 1>have come right before he was cast to be James Bond.

<v Speaker 1>Oh Man the angelic voice of Solo Monster, a voice

<v Speaker 1>from above. You know, you hey never know you get

<v Speaker 1>to the pearly gates, I might be the voice that

<v Speaker 1>you hear. Hopefully you won't find out for a while. Anyway,

<v Speaker 1>next time I'm gonna be live with you will be

<v Speaker 1>on Friday. We'll be talking SmackDown. Wow, it's another Friday,

<v Speaker 1>the thirteenth, back to back months. That doesn't happen very often,

<v Speaker 1>but that's when I'll see you live for the SmackDown again.
