<v Speaker 1>Well, it is another week and it is another title

<v Speaker 1>defense for Darby Allen closing out another edition of Dynamite,

<v Speaker 1>his fifth title defense in three weeks. And the match

<v Speaker 1>tonight was supposed to come against Kazuchika Okada because if

<v Speaker 1>you tuned into Dynamite last week or I guess Collision

<v Speaker 1>since it technically I guess it was mentioned on Dynamite.

<v Speaker 1>But then Okata came out during the third hour we

<v Speaker 1>had three hour block last week. We were supposed to

<v Speaker 1>get a World Championship match tonight with Darby and Okada,

<v Speaker 1>and that did not happen. We were told on Collision

<v Speaker 1>by Don Kallis that Okatta had to fly back to Japan,

<v Speaker 1>and I thought he might make a cameo tonight. I

<v Speaker 1>thought maybe he was part of an angle. Turns out

<v Speaker 1>I guess it wasn't. So hopefully whatever he went back

<v Speaker 1>there for on such short notice wasn't anything too serious.

<v Speaker 1>But we got a pretty suitable replacement because instead we

<v Speaker 1>had Darby Allen defending the World Championship tonight against Okata's

<v Speaker 1>opponent at double or Nothing, Kenoski Takeshta and these two

<v Speaker 1>guys went out there and they had a hell of

<v Speaker 1>a main event, and I have to say this, it's

<v Speaker 1>going to be over in a few weeks. This Darby

<v Speaker 1>miracle run will be over in a few weeks. But

<v Speaker 1>I have to say that, you know, Darby is making

<v Speaker 1>the most of the time that he has with that championship,

<v Speaker 1>and he wrestles and works his matches as somebody who

<v Speaker 1>realizes he's on a short you know, he's kind of

<v Speaker 1>got a short leash here that they're keeping him on.

<v Speaker 1>He's not going to be in this position for an

<v Speaker 1>extended period of time. So every time he goes out there,

<v Speaker 1>I mean, this is just the way that he wrestles

<v Speaker 1>all of his matches anyway, but every time he goes

<v Speaker 1>out there, it's basically a car crash every single week

<v Speaker 1>with this guy, where he is taking these unbelievably ridiculous

<v Speaker 1>bumps and just they're throwing so much stuff at you.

<v Speaker 1>He's taking so much abuse here in these matches. It

<v Speaker 1>does make for some dramatic near falls, as we saw tonight.

<v Speaker 1>The fans, you know, we're biting on some of the

<v Speaker 1>new falls in their match, But again, tonight was no

<v Speaker 1>different than what we've seen out of him on this

<v Speaker 1>show over the last few weeks and then we found

<v Speaker 1>out when the match was over, and of course Darby one,

<v Speaker 1>that we had a contract signing and it was made

<v Speaker 1>official that at Double or Nothing coming up on May

<v Speaker 1>twenty fourth, it will be title versus hair. It will

<v Speaker 1>be Darby Allen putting his championship on the line. MJF

<v Speaker 1>will be putting his hair, his follicles on the line.

<v Speaker 1>That is our main event, the worst kept secret because

<v Speaker 1>we could tell from a mile away what that main

<v Speaker 1>event in New York was going to because they made

<v Speaker 1>it official tonight. And also tonight we found out what

<v Speaker 1>the teams, the full teams are going to be for

<v Speaker 1>the first Stadium Stampede match in many years. It will

<v Speaker 1>be seven on seven. You talk about a cluster fuck

<v Speaker 1>of a match, that is what Stadium Stampede is going

<v Speaker 1>to be. I will tell you what those teams look like.

<v Speaker 1>We had another Open Challenge tonight. Oh yes, It's been

<v Speaker 1>a while since I've had one of those. So we

<v Speaker 1>had the Open Challenge with Kevin Knight and the TNT Championship.

<v Speaker 1>We had the return in that match of an aw

<v Speaker 1>star that we have not seen in the ring in

<v Speaker 1>over a year and actually had a pretty good match.

<v Speaker 1>I would say between those two matches, the TNT title

<v Speaker 1>match the main event, and I'll throw in the will

<v Speaker 1>Ospury match with Ace Austin, who's very good and does

<v Speaker 1>not nearly get enough screen time on these shows. I'm

<v Speaker 1>talking about the main show on Wednesdays. They had a

<v Speaker 1>very good match as well, and they had a hot

<v Speaker 1>crowd too, which always helps. It was a very good

<v Speaker 1>night for in ring action on this show. Very good

<v Speaker 1>night as far as the matches go. It was a

<v Speaker 1>lot easier to sit through than last week's show. Last

<v Speaker 1>week's show, to me, was very dull. Not that there

<v Speaker 1>wasn't any good wrestling on the show, but just sometimes

<v Speaker 1>you feel it and sometimes you don't. Last week, to me,

<v Speaker 1>that was a tough show to sit through. And we

<v Speaker 1>wrapped up the review in an hour and we were

<v Speaker 1>in and out. This week was an improvement on last week.

<v Speaker 1>I enjoyed this week's show more than I did last week.

<v Speaker 1>But we got something else tonight. We found out what

<v Speaker 1>the brackets are going to be for the owen Hart Tournament.

<v Speaker 1>I've been wondering when are we going to get the

<v Speaker 1>announcement about these brackets? All in this year is a

<v Speaker 1>month later than it was last year it was mid July.

<v Speaker 1>This year it's late August. So I was thinking that

<v Speaker 1>maybe a round double or nothing this thing would kick off.

<v Speaker 1>And sure enough we got the men's bracket, and we

<v Speaker 1>got the women's bracket, which I'm going to show you

<v Speaker 1>right now. We'll talk about this here may as well.

<v Speaker 1>Why wait this right here was the men's bracket for

<v Speaker 1>the twenty twenty six Owen Hart Foundation Tournament. You take

<v Speaker 1>a look at the left side of the bracket. We

<v Speaker 1>have Samoa Joe one on one with will Osprey and

<v Speaker 1>that match will be taking place at double or nothing.

<v Speaker 1>Samoa Joe has been trying to recruit will Osprey into

<v Speaker 1>the ops and he hasn't gotten an answer. Very unhappy

<v Speaker 1>about this, so now he's going to beat it out

<v Speaker 1>of him at the So that's one match. And then

<v Speaker 1>on the same side of the bracket, we have the

<v Speaker 1>brand new aw National champion, Mark Davis. Shout out Mark Davis.

<v Speaker 1>He's actually got some singles gold. I'm a Mark for

<v Speaker 1>Mark Davis. What can I say? He's in this tournament.

<v Speaker 1>I have to say, as much as I am a

<v Speaker 1>fan of his work, how he ended up in this

<v Speaker 1>tournament over any number of people who are not in

<v Speaker 1>this tournament is beyond me. But he is in this tournament.

<v Speaker 1>He will be wrestling the former national champion, jungle Jack Perry.

<v Speaker 1>So that's on one side and the other side of

<v Speaker 1>the bracket. Swerve Strickland and Bandido. Now we knew that

<v Speaker 1>they were heading towards a match on the pay per view,

<v Speaker 1>but now it's a match that has actual stakes because

<v Speaker 1>it is going to be part of the Owenhart Tournament

<v Speaker 1>and the winner of that match will move on to

<v Speaker 1>meet the winner of the match between Brody King and

<v Speaker 1>Claudio Castignoli. And the first thing is I look at

<v Speaker 1>this bracket. That really jumps out of me because you've

<v Speaker 1>heard me talking about this. Now for many weeks, I

<v Speaker 1>thought the final was going to be no John Moxley

<v Speaker 1>in this tournament. My question would be, why is Claudio

<v Speaker 1>in this tournament over Moxley, given that Moxley is a

<v Speaker 1>former AW World champion, In fact, he was the one

<v Speaker 1>defending the championship in the main event at all in

<v Speaker 1>last year and he's not even in the tournament. But

<v Speaker 1>Claudio is who's never been AW World champion before. But

<v Speaker 1>that tells me is that they really want to do

<v Speaker 1>will Ospury and Swerve Strickland in the finals of this tournament,

<v Speaker 1>which as you can see, are going to be taking

<v Speaker 1>place at Forbidden Door in San Jose on June twenty eighth.

<v Speaker 1>And that's really the only thing that makes sense to

<v Speaker 1>me is that mox is not in here because they

<v Speaker 1>don't want him to lose to any of these other people,

<v Speaker 1>and that's not the final they want to do. This

<v Speaker 1>is clearly setting up for a Swerve in Ospbury final, which,

<v Speaker 1>funny enough, if it happens, would be at Forbidden Door,

<v Speaker 1>which is where they had their first match two years

<v Speaker 1>ago for the aw World title, and taking nothing away

<v Speaker 1>from that match, believe me. I mean, if we're gonna

<v Speaker 1>get Osprey and Swerve in the finals, that's fine with me.

<v Speaker 1>But to me, that was the biggest surprise here of

<v Speaker 1>this men's bracket, not even seeing Jean Moxley's name in there.

<v Speaker 1>But I mean, look then, does anybody you look at

<v Speaker 1>that bracket? Does anybody believe that anybody else is going

<v Speaker 1>over in this thing except for will Ospray? It can

<v Speaker 1>go no other way. The winner puts his stamp on it,

<v Speaker 1>he punches his ticket to Wembley Stadium. They're telling this

<v Speaker 1>story with will Osprey his neck. He's trying to find

<v Speaker 1>the inner soldier from within, the beast within. He's trying

<v Speaker 1>to make this big comeback. It's the only thing that

<v Speaker 1>makes sense. Anything else would be ridiculous other than Osprey

<v Speaker 1>winning this tournament. But that's not the only tournament. Of course,

<v Speaker 1>we have two of them. We have one for the men,

<v Speaker 1>we have to have one for the women, and so

<v Speaker 1>on the women's side, which I have to say is

<v Speaker 1>I put this graphic up here, this bracket is more

<v Speaker 1>unpredictable than the men's. On the left hand side, we

<v Speaker 1>have Persephone her and her dual contract that she now

<v Speaker 1>has going one on one with Hazuki, who had a

<v Speaker 1>hell of a match a couple of years ago with

<v Speaker 1>Mercedes Monette that I still remember watching. Will o' Nightingale

<v Speaker 1>is going to go one on one with Alex Windsor.

<v Speaker 1>Can you imagine if Tony con says, hey, I have

<v Speaker 1>a great idea, Why don't we have Will Osprey and

<v Speaker 1>Alex Windsor both going to Wembley Stadium to win their

<v Speaker 1>respective championships this year? That would be a fucking terrible idea.

<v Speaker 1>That is not what I want to say. I think

<v Speaker 1>Alex Windsor actually is the very good chance Alex Windsor

<v Speaker 1>is going to win championship gold at Wembley Stadium. But

<v Speaker 1>it will not be the aw Women's World title. It

<v Speaker 1>will be the women's tag team titles. The Brawling Birds

<v Speaker 1>beating Divine Dominion is my prediction for all In but

<v Speaker 1>Willow and Alex Windsor. That match will take place at

<v Speaker 1>double or nothing. Now, on the other side of the bracket,

<v Speaker 1>we have Mina Shirakawa, who loses most of her matches

<v Speaker 1>going one on one against the Ring of Honor Forever

<v Speaker 1>Women's Champion Athena. I love how they dust her off

<v Speaker 1>every now and then when they have an opening for her,

<v Speaker 1>they remember that she's actually employed. As if Athena is

<v Speaker 1>going in there to lose to Mina Shirakau, I mean,

<v Speaker 1>come on now, So Athena will then meet the winner

<v Speaker 1>of Sky Blue and Siree, Yes, Siree is in this tournament. Now,

<v Speaker 1>I will point out that if you remember last year's tournament,

<v Speaker 1>we had Jamie Hayter was in there, Chris Statlander was

<v Speaker 1>in there, Mercedes Monette was in there, Athena was in there. Well,

<v Speaker 1>so Athena is back, but no Hater, no stat Lander,

<v Speaker 1>and no Mercedes. If Moxley not being in the men's

<v Speaker 1>is the biggest surprise on the men's side, I would

<v Speaker 1>have to say that Mercedes not returning and being in

<v Speaker 1>this tournament is the biggest surprise of this one. Now,

<v Speaker 1>the thing is, I know some people are gonna look

<v Speaker 1>at some of the names here, like Hazuki, like well,

<v Speaker 1>who is that? Who is this? And why is she

<v Speaker 1>in the tournament? I understand her being in there actually

<v Speaker 1>because as you can see in the middle there, see

<v Speaker 1>that little Forbidden door logo. Look just above it, you

<v Speaker 1>see an AW logo, you see a CMLL, you see stardom,

<v Speaker 1>you see New Japan. Right, Stardom is a part of that.

<v Speaker 1>It's a joint production, so they wanted some stardom representation

<v Speaker 1>in there, right. I mean, I know Persephone has a

<v Speaker 1>dual contract, but that's also why she's in the tournament,

<v Speaker 1>and not for nothing. If you're not familiar with Hazuki,

<v Speaker 1>she is very good. Siri is a weird one because

<v Speaker 1>she just announced a few days ago that she was

<v Speaker 1>taking a month off to seek treatment on her neck.

<v Speaker 1>She's been having neck issues. She's taken a month off now,

<v Speaker 1>I guess by the time this thing really kicks off,

<v Speaker 1>and then they could always then delay her opening match

<v Speaker 1>as long as possible. I mean, obviously she's going to

<v Speaker 1>be wrestling. It's just the timing is very weird with

<v Speaker 1>her taking time off for an injury. Here, you know,

<v Speaker 1>Willow Nightingale. I can't see Willow winning. She already won before.

<v Speaker 1>But also she already has the TVs championship now. Mercedes

<v Speaker 1>already won as well, and if she was in this tournament,

<v Speaker 1>she would have been my pick to win. But the

<v Speaker 1>difference is just for the story of her losing all

<v Speaker 1>those other belts. Right now she's going after the main one.

<v Speaker 1>The story would have been there for it. But I

<v Speaker 1>think I'll tell you who I think as I look

<v Speaker 1>at this bracket here. Ask me, who do I think

<v Speaker 1>is the favorite to win this thing? I think, Persephone.

<v Speaker 1>I think as I sit here right now, if I

<v Speaker 1>had to pick, if I had to pick a favorite

<v Speaker 1>to win on the women's side, and frankly the one

<v Speaker 1>who I feel like I would probably want to see

<v Speaker 1>of these options that we've been given here and again,

<v Speaker 1>I love love Willow and I love Athena, but I

<v Speaker 1>gotta go Persephone on this, and then I realize something else.

<v Speaker 1>Just now, Persephone is injured, so she's also in this tournament.

<v Speaker 1>Now I know they're crediting her injury on television to

<v Speaker 1>her being missed. It in the face a few weeks

<v Speaker 1>ago by Julia Hart. I believe it's a legitimate injury

<v Speaker 1>that she has. I mean, supposedly she was seen in

<v Speaker 1>a walking boot, you know, walking around in a walking boot.

<v Speaker 1>She was pulled, I know from the Ring of Honor

<v Speaker 1>Supercard of Honor show, the pay per view this Friday.

<v Speaker 1>So if she is, if she does have a legitimate injury,

<v Speaker 1>I mean, I would imagine that it's obvious, not too

<v Speaker 1>serious if she's been booked to be a part of

<v Speaker 1>this tournament here. But again, if I had to pick

<v Speaker 1>an early favorite, I would go with her. Nothing wrong

<v Speaker 1>with you know, Willow going over even Athena. I just

<v Speaker 1>Athena in Techla is not a match I see them doing.

<v Speaker 1>Unless we're looking at this wrong and Tecla is not

<v Speaker 1>walking into Wembley, which is still a few months away.

<v Speaker 1>If Tecla is not walking in as the champion, then

<v Speaker 1>who would be walking in his champion in that case, right,

<v Speaker 1>I mean, who have they really set up to potentially

<v Speaker 1>beat her for the title before we get to all in.

<v Speaker 1>I don't know. They haven't really set up anybody for that.

<v Speaker 1>I'm just looking at this to the prism of this

<v Speaker 1>woman will still be champion when we get to all in. You.

<v Speaker 1>When I look at these options, the only ones that

<v Speaker 1>really truly makes sense to me would be Willow or Persephone.

<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna go with Persephone. I just I don't see

<v Speaker 1>them giving the O in twice to Willow, and not

<v Speaker 1>when she has the TBS title. So anyway, those are

<v Speaker 1>your brackets for the Owenhart tournaments, and those will be

<v Speaker 1>kicking off in a couple of weeks at double or nothing.

<v Speaker 1>I'm saying Willow or Athena Mina would be a mess.

<v Speaker 1>It's not gonna be Mina. Look I like Mina, Mina.

<v Speaker 1>Mina ain't getting out of the first round, Okay my opinion,

<v Speaker 1>she ain't getting out of that first round, let alone

<v Speaker 1>winning the entire thing. Holy shit, Cheza. It is five

<v Speaker 1>am on a Thursday, where CHESSA is five o'clock in

<v Speaker 1>the morning. CHESSA is having his morning coffee as he

<v Speaker 1>tunes into the stream, we'll welcome good morning. I'm glad

<v Speaker 1>you can join. This is your aw Dynamite review. It

<v Speaker 1>is Wednesday, May thirteenth, twenty twenty six. I am the

<v Speaker 1>solemn monster. Hit that like button, hit that subscribe button,

<v Speaker 1>and super chats are open, and I'm going to be

<v Speaker 1>reading a whole bunch of messages from you guys a

<v Speaker 1>little bit later on, including one Joseph Stewart who bombed me.

<v Speaker 1>It was a bombardment before I went live tonight, and Joseph,

<v Speaker 1>I really appreciate that. Joseph. I have a feeling Joseph.

<v Speaker 1>He mentioned in one of his super chez that he

<v Speaker 1>was away in a family vacation. I was wondering because

<v Speaker 1>he had been absent for a little bit and I

<v Speaker 1>was starting to get worried. But apparently he was on vacation.

<v Speaker 1>I see. I don't know what one of those actually

<v Speaker 1>looks like anymore. It's been a while since I've taken

<v Speaker 1>a proper vacation. But Joseph, thank you. It'd be going

<v Speaker 1>through all your messages a little bit later on, but

<v Speaker 1>before we do all of that, this is always a

<v Speaker 1>dangerous thing here on a Wednesday night. We don't always

<v Speaker 1>hit the likes goal on Wednesdays. I'm hoping tonight will

<v Speaker 1>be a good night if we want to do Be

<v Speaker 1>the Booker to find out what our likes goal is

<v Speaker 1>going to be. Three hundred and fifty. That's actually a

<v Speaker 1>pretty modest goal world were less than one hundred away.

<v Speaker 1>That is doable. I know it's a Wednesday, but that

<v Speaker 1>is attainable. Three hundred and fifty likes and we will

<v Speaker 1>be doing Be the Booker, So go ahead and get

<v Speaker 1>those likes in. I believe in you. I believe in you.

<v Speaker 1>I know you can do it. Earlier today, Renee tried

<v Speaker 1>to get a word backstage with MJF as he arrived

<v Speaker 1>at the arena. Says Darby, Allen is adamant that if

<v Speaker 1>he doesn't put his hair on the line, he will

<v Speaker 1>never challenge him for the aw World Championship, and MJF

<v Speaker 1>just walks away. The camera follows as he continues to

<v Speaker 1>walk through the backstage area, and it just so happens

<v Speaker 1>that every single person that he is walking by is bald.

<v Speaker 1>They're follically challenged. Just a bunch of mister cleans walking around,

<v Speaker 1>and he's got this look on his face. It's like

<v Speaker 1>look on his face, like what was going on? Like

<v Speaker 1>he's in a nightmare of some kind and it's just

<v Speaker 1>very wrestlers. John Silver walked by a bunch of other people, officials, staffers,

<v Speaker 1>Tamaso Champa. Then he bumped into Ricochet, who was there

<v Speaker 1>with the Gates of Agony, who do have hair. Ricochet

<v Speaker 1>does not, and Ricochet told him, look, you'll look good, bald,

<v Speaker 1>just not as good as me, and MJF continued on

<v Speaker 1>his way. Speaking of Champa. He was part of the

<v Speaker 1>opening ten men tag team match, which had Shampa, FTR,

<v Speaker 1>Clark Conners, and David Findley against the Young Bucks Adam Copeland,

<v Speaker 1>Christian Cage and Orange Cassidy. Now, for those who don't know,

<v Speaker 1>Adam Copeland lives in Asheville or in Asheville, North Carolina. Tonight,

<v Speaker 1>he lives in Asheville. I think he's lived there for

<v Speaker 1>a long time too, like fifteen years or something like that.

<v Speaker 1>And I believe FTR or at least Dax, I don't

<v Speaker 1>know about Cash, but they also live in Ashville. So

<v Speaker 1>at one point here during the match, when Copeland got

<v Speaker 1>a hot tag in the people went nuts for him.

<v Speaker 1>And the heels worked over Christian's injured forearm for a

<v Speaker 1>little bit. He still has that cast or that wrap

<v Speaker 1>around his arm. Orange Cassidy put Christian's hands in his

<v Speaker 1>pockets for him. They did a little comedy here. Christians

<v Speaker 1>didn't want to have anything to do with this, but

<v Speaker 1>he took Christian's hands, he put them in Christian's pockets. Anyway,

<v Speaker 1>Christian refused to dive through the rope, so instead he

<v Speaker 1>tossed his partner. He tossed Orange Cassidy out over the

<v Speaker 1>top rope onto Champa and Finley on the floor. Christian

<v Speaker 1>then dove out onto Clark Connors himself. Meanwhile, back inside

<v Speaker 1>FTR caught Copeland into a shatter machine for a near

<v Speaker 1>fall that got broken up. And then we got some

<v Speaker 1>rapid fire offense here that saw Connor's take out Christian

<v Speaker 1>with a spear. Copeland then ducked a spear and Connors

<v Speaker 1>hit hardwood. There was a triple super kick on Clark

<v Speaker 1>Connor's from Copeland and the Bucks. Cassidy hit the orange punch,

<v Speaker 1>and then Copeland finished Connor's off off with a spear

<v Speaker 1>to win the match. Your typical aw party match. I

<v Speaker 1>mean if you've seen one of these ten man tag

<v Speaker 1>team matches on this show, You've seen them all. I

<v Speaker 1>mean they all break down in the same way. It's

<v Speaker 1>just boom boom boom, rapid fire offense, a bunch of moves,

<v Speaker 1>a bunch of super kicks. It's kind of hard to

<v Speaker 1>keep track of who's legal, and it doesn't even fucking matter. Basically,

<v Speaker 1>everyone does what they want to do anyway. But the

<v Speaker 1>fans were hot for it. Again. Part of it was

<v Speaker 1>that Copeland has that hometown connection with Ashville, because we've

<v Speaker 1>seen Copeland and Christian on this show some weeks where

<v Speaker 1>crowds are not nearly as odd as they were here tonight,

<v Speaker 1>but they were definitely into this match. Christian was bleeding

<v Speaker 1>from the eye when this match was over. I mean,

<v Speaker 1>nothing too terrible. It didn't look like anything serious. I

<v Speaker 1>didn't see how it happened. I think it might have

<v Speaker 1>happened when he dove out onto the floor, but he Yeah,

<v Speaker 1>they zoomed in on that, and you know, you look

<v Speaker 1>kind of sinister with the blood trickling down the side

<v Speaker 1>of his face. Now, earlier today we went back to

<v Speaker 1>the will Osprey and death stuff. They were on the

<v Speaker 1>roof they were in the middle of a death rider's

<v Speaker 1>training session and Daniel Garcia is talking to the camera.

<v Speaker 1>He says that Osprey has to show him something, and

<v Speaker 1>the fact that it was Daniel Garcia, of all people

<v Speaker 1>who said this was just hilarious to be considering his

<v Speaker 1>win loss record. So Moxley we see him. He is

<v Speaker 1>on the ground with using wheeler uta basically to show

<v Speaker 1>will Osprey the proper way to apply a crossface while

<v Speaker 1>Osprey is doing neck bridges, so he's upside down basically

<v Speaker 1>on his neck watching Moxley as Moxley is trying to

<v Speaker 1>teach him his ways. So then Moxley gets up and

<v Speaker 1>Osprey gets up and they kind of walk off to

<v Speaker 1>a different part of the roof, and Moxley asked him,

<v Speaker 1>do you remember when you won the Best of the

<v Speaker 1>super Juniors, when life was a lot simpler and you

<v Speaker 1>could fly like a bird. They just grab what they

<v Speaker 1>wanted along the way. Because years go by, life happens,

<v Speaker 1>family responsibilities, bad choices catch up with you. The weight

<v Speaker 1>weighs down your shoulders and it feels like you can't

<v Speaker 1>fly anymore. And Moxley tells Osprey nothing is different now.

<v Speaker 1>All those things will still be there. You can still fly.

<v Speaker 1>It's just that Osprey is more dangerous now he's a

<v Speaker 1>bird of prey tonight. Don't go out there to protect anything.

<v Speaker 1>Don't go out there to protect your neck, protect your image,

<v Speaker 1>to protect your reputation. Go out to give something. And

<v Speaker 1>then Moxley turned that, he started yelling at Wheeler Da

<v Speaker 1>and he walked off as Osprey was left standing there

<v Speaker 1>pondering the advice that he was just given. Now, I know,

<v Speaker 1>there's still a lot about this Death Rider's Osprey stuff

<v Speaker 1>that just doesn't really make a whole lot of sense,

<v Speaker 1>And it is very weird. It's very weird to see

<v Speaker 1>him being so subservient and so attentive to all of

<v Speaker 1>this wonderful advice that they and John Moxley are giving him.

<v Speaker 1>But again, it's still fucking weird when you consider that

<v Speaker 1>it was Moxley and the Death Riders who took six

<v Speaker 1>months of his career away from him, who tried to

<v Speaker 1>take his career away from him period. But they're the

<v Speaker 1>ones responsible for him being on the shelf and going

<v Speaker 1>under the knife and being gone for six months and

<v Speaker 1>not knowing whether or not he would ever be able

<v Speaker 1>to make it back into the ring. They took that

<v Speaker 1>from him, and so now here he is every single week,

<v Speaker 1>and you know, he's listening attentively, and he's turning to

<v Speaker 1>them for advice on how to improve and how to

<v Speaker 1>get himself to the place where he wants to be.

<v Speaker 1>And so yes, it is very goofy in that respect. However,

<v Speaker 1>that being said, I've been digging some of these segments

<v Speaker 1>because the thing with Osprey is when we see him

<v Speaker 1>on tel television usually what do you see will Osprey doing?

<v Speaker 1>What is will Ospray good at. Will Ospray is great

<v Speaker 1>at going out there and having banger matches. Will Ospray

<v Speaker 1>is great at going out there and doing all kinds

<v Speaker 1>of fancy moves and getting the crowd behind him and

<v Speaker 1>hitting a hidden blade or three or four or five

<v Speaker 1>or six or eight, popping the crowd, having these great matches. Hear.

<v Speaker 1>What they're trying to do is they're trying to develop

<v Speaker 1>these characters a little bit and tell some semblance of

<v Speaker 1>a story. Because you and I both know where this

<v Speaker 1>man is headed. He is headed for Wembley Stadium. He

<v Speaker 1>is going to be challenging for the World Championship in

<v Speaker 1>the main event of all in this year coming off

<v Speaker 1>a career threatening neck injury. Right, that's an easy story

<v Speaker 1>to understand, But how do you get there? Do you

<v Speaker 1>just go out there every week and have banger matches

<v Speaker 1>or do you try to tell some kind of story here.

<v Speaker 1>They're trying to tell some kind of story here, even Boxley,

<v Speaker 1>I mean, he's going on and on about this this

<v Speaker 1>kind of random stuff sometimes, but even Moxley, they're trying

<v Speaker 1>to at least develop these characters a little bit deeper

<v Speaker 1>than what we are normally accustomed to see. Now. I

<v Speaker 1>can't say it the same for all the other members

<v Speaker 1>of the fucking Death Riders, and it's still weird when

<v Speaker 1>they come out there one week they're supposed to be heals.

<v Speaker 1>The next week they're supposed to be babyfaces because they're

<v Speaker 1>aligned with someone who's a babyface. I don't fucking know.

<v Speaker 1>All I know is the stuff with Moxley and Osprey.

<v Speaker 1>They're trying to tell a story here, which I can

<v Speaker 1>at least appreciate because it has been a criticism, you know,

<v Speaker 1>of Tony's booking in the past when it comes to

<v Speaker 1>some of these characters. So this segment in particular, like

<v Speaker 1>all right, I did what they're trying to do. I'm

<v Speaker 1>still shocked that Boxley is not in the oh and

<v Speaker 1>and they're not building to the two of them. Having

<v Speaker 1>to go toe to toe is like the final test

<v Speaker 1>for Osprey, although that doesn't mean they can't do that

<v Speaker 1>match on some other pay per view between now and then,

<v Speaker 1>But it would have more meaning if it was in

<v Speaker 1>the finals of the tournament. Maybe Tony just doesn't want

<v Speaker 1>it to be that obvious, even though it seems pretty obvious.

<v Speaker 1>We're just gonna get Swerve an Osprey instead the demand.

<v Speaker 1>They were backstage along with the new national champion, Mark Davis,

<v Speaker 1>a round of applause. But Mark Davis, who won his

<v Speaker 1>first singles title on Collision. On the fair Way to

<v Speaker 1>Hell edition of Collision, he had a match with Jack

<v Speaker 1>Perry and Ricochet, who came out there dressed up as

<v Speaker 1>remember when Chavo was the caddie, what was his character,

<v Speaker 1>Kerwin White. He goes away, he walks out there, He's

<v Speaker 1>got a golf club and he hits Jack Perry in

<v Speaker 1>the back with it for the assist. And so Mark

<v Speaker 1>Davis ends up winning the national title, and I'm happy

<v Speaker 1>for the guy for all intents and purposes. This guy

<v Speaker 1>should be sitting in the back doing nothing. They had

<v Speaker 1>him in a tag team. His tag team partner got hurt.

<v Speaker 1>They have all these other members of the Cali family

<v Speaker 1>that you would rank above him. They have. They're just

<v Speaker 1>stockpiled with talent in this company. And Tony Kahn has

<v Speaker 1>given him television time and every time he goes out there,

<v Speaker 1>he goes out there and has these good matches. He's not,

<v Speaker 1>you know, having these match of the year type, you know,

<v Speaker 1>battles every single week like we've been seeing with Darby

<v Speaker 1>Allen the last few weeks. But he's going out there

<v Speaker 1>and he's putting the work in and it's it's fun

<v Speaker 1>to see. And so this was a nice little reward

<v Speaker 1>for him. So now he's got a championship. Now it's

<v Speaker 1>a championship that doesn't really mean much. It's still very new.

<v Speaker 1>It was just established. But I'd still rather see that

<v Speaker 1>title on Mark Davis than see it on Jack Perry.

<v Speaker 1>So Ricochet in the demander backstage with Mark Davis. And

<v Speaker 1>the reason that Davis is with him is because he

<v Speaker 1>is one of the members of the Kallus family that

<v Speaker 1>Don Kallis is basically loaning out to team with them

<v Speaker 1>as part of this stadium Stampede match at double or nothing,

<v Speaker 1>and he goes, not only does he have Mark Davis

<v Speaker 1>on his team, but he's got another member of the

<v Speaker 1>Kallus family, and in walks Andrade l Idelo, who does

<v Speaker 1>not look very enthusiastic to be there. Of course, now

<v Speaker 1>he's being loaned out. He's being loaned out like a whore.

<v Speaker 1>He's being hoared out by Don Kallas. He doesn't want

<v Speaker 1>to have anything to do with this. He wants to

<v Speaker 1>challenge for the championship, but Andrade is going to be

<v Speaker 1>a part of Stadium Stampede. And then Ricochet says he's

<v Speaker 1>going to fill out the remainder of his team with

<v Speaker 1>two men who have an axe to grind with the

<v Speaker 1>young Bucks and in walk the Dogs, and David Finley

<v Speaker 1>says that they're sick of the Bucks and they're going

<v Speaker 1>to settle this once and for all at double or nothing.

<v Speaker 1>So this is going to be seven on seven, which

<v Speaker 1>sounds about right. I mean, I'm trying to remember the

<v Speaker 1>last time they did one of these. If it was,

<v Speaker 1>was it seven on seven, six on six? It had

<v Speaker 1>to be something like that. How many years has it

<v Speaker 1>been since we've had a stadium stampede. Well, I feel

<v Speaker 1>like technically we have one every year because that's basically

<v Speaker 1>what anarchy in the arena is. So this year, because

<v Speaker 1>they're in a stadium, instead of getting anarchy in the arena,

<v Speaker 1>they're just doing stadium stampede. But when was the last

<v Speaker 1>actual formal stadium stampede. I don't know. All I know

<v Speaker 1>is that it's seven on seven. It's gonna be a

<v Speaker 1>clusterfuck on this pay per view, and they've roped Kenny

<v Speaker 1>Omega into this, so it's gonna be Kenny Omega, the

<v Speaker 1>Young Bucks, Jack Perry, Chris Jericho, I would guess the

<v Speaker 1>Hurt syndicate against all seven men that I just mentioned.

<v Speaker 1>After this, we had speedball Mike Bailey, who was accompanied

<v Speaker 1>by his friend, his tag team partner, the TNT champion

<v Speaker 1>Kevin Knight, to take on Westbrook. Vince McMahon stole his

<v Speaker 1>first name, so now he's just Westbrook. I couldn't tell

<v Speaker 1>you what his first name is, but he was just

<v Speaker 1>Westbrook tonight, and poor Westbrook. He went for some sort

<v Speaker 1>of springboard move in this match, and he got all

<v Speaker 1>tangled up in the ropes in very embarrassing fashion. Yeah,

<v Speaker 1>it was not good. Bailey met him in the corner

<v Speaker 1>though with a big spin kick and then beat him

<v Speaker 1>with the Ultimate Weapon for the quick win. I mean

<v Speaker 1>if this went two minutes, I would be shocked. I

<v Speaker 1>mean maybe ninety seconds. So Justin Roberts gets in the

<v Speaker 1>ring and now he's going right into the intro for

<v Speaker 1>Kevin Knight, who has an open challenge coming up for

<v Speaker 1>the TNT Championship. Yes, I see, I don't think we

<v Speaker 1>have enough of these in wrestling. I was very happy

<v Speaker 1>to see that Tony Kahan gave us something that we

<v Speaker 1>don't get to see on a regular basis. We had

<v Speaker 1>ourselves an open challenge here tonight on Dynamite, and I,

<v Speaker 1>for one, we're very excited about this. If I had

<v Speaker 1>to make a list of the top ten things we

<v Speaker 1>need more of in wrestling, and we simply do not

<v Speaker 1>get enough of them, the open challenge would be at

<v Speaker 1>the top of my list. So I was very happy

<v Speaker 1>to see an open challenge tonight and Speedball was still

<v Speaker 1>in the ring, and so I'm thinking, wait, Speedball is

<v Speaker 1>going to accept this open challenge because they've been building

<v Speaker 1>up there's been some frustration. You could tell that there's

<v Speaker 1>frustration from Speedball with Kevin Knight having the title and

<v Speaker 1>you know, being all he's all full of himself every

<v Speaker 1>week when we hear from him, he's too fly. So

<v Speaker 1>I thought that Speedball was going to accept the open

<v Speaker 1>challenge right there on the spot, and so instead of

<v Speaker 1>getting that, well, there'll be time for that. Those two

<v Speaker 1>were definitely going to wrestle for that championship at some point. Instead,

<v Speaker 1>we had the returning Brian Cage looking as jacked as

<v Speaker 1>I've ever seen him, although he has physically been bigger,

<v Speaker 1>but he was jacked as all I mean, he's still huge,

<v Speaker 1>but he was just jacked as all shit. And he

<v Speaker 1>was joined by Lance Archer and rpg Weis, Rocky Romero

<v Speaker 1>and Trent Peretta. This was Brian Cage's return to the

<v Speaker 1>ring for the first time in fourteen months, and immediately

<v Speaker 1>he was doing curls with Kevin Knight, who flipped over

<v Speaker 1>onto his feet. He tried some shoulder tackles that were

<v Speaker 1>not successful. He basically bounced off this man. Later on

<v Speaker 1>night fought back, fought his way back into things with

<v Speaker 1>a springboard missile drop kick and both men were down.

<v Speaker 1>I hope Speedball doesn't go heal. It kind of feels

<v Speaker 1>like we're trending that way, But he's such a geeky

<v Speaker 1>baby face, it's hard for me to imagine him going heel.

<v Speaker 1>I mean, it's possible that he could just get so

<v Speaker 1>frustrated he accepts the open challenge at some point and

<v Speaker 1>they have a friendly exhibition. I mean, you can still

<v Speaker 1>do Kevin Knight's Speedball without Speedball going heel and you know, viciously.

<v Speaker 1>I can't even imagine what kind of heel he would be,

<v Speaker 1>you know what I mean, Like he's out there, he's

<v Speaker 1>all zen. He's like the biggest nice guy, you know,

<v Speaker 1>like white meat babyface that they have on that roster.

<v Speaker 1>I can't even imagine him going heel. To be perfectly

<v Speaker 1>honest with you, So if they're gonna do it, I

<v Speaker 1>would just rather it end up being some sort of

<v Speaker 1>friendly open challenge type deal and just leave it alone.

<v Speaker 1>Speedball turns heel and finally puts on boots, and that

<v Speaker 1>would be something. You know, Russev used to wrestle barefoot

<v Speaker 1>and then eventually he ended up wearing boots. It's possible,

<v Speaker 1>but as I said, both men were down Night Dove

<v Speaker 1>out onto Cage on the floor. Cage caught him though,

<v Speaker 1>slammed him onto the steps. He pulled Night back into

<v Speaker 1>the ring with a vertical suplex for a near fall.

<v Speaker 1>Bailey and Archer they started brawling out at ringside. There

<v Speaker 1>was an awkward spot or botch in the corner where

<v Speaker 1>Night went. I think he was going for like the

<v Speaker 1>hr kanana. He was going to try to pull Brian

<v Speaker 1>Cage down to the mat, and something went haywire here

<v Speaker 1>and this fucking guy, Okay, just to show you how

<v Speaker 1>strong he really is, Brian Cage. He by the man's feet,

<v Speaker 1>He pulled him up, he muscled him up. He tried

<v Speaker 1>to salvage this and he muscled him up into a

<v Speaker 1>power bomb position by his feet, and so then Kevin

<v Speaker 1>Knight was able to take him over with a Hurri kanana.

<v Speaker 1>Brian Cage goes flying down to the mat and in

<v Speaker 1>the end Night picked up the wind with the UFO splash.

<v Speaker 1>I mentioned that Brian Cage missed fourteen months because I

<v Speaker 1>saw some people in the chatter earlier going, oh, Tony,

<v Speaker 1>I finally remember the man was employed. Now the guy

<v Speaker 1>was hurt. You could say that about a lot of

<v Speaker 1>people on the roster, Brian Cage is not one of him.

<v Speaker 1>Brian Cage was not on television because Brian Cage has

<v Speaker 1>been injured. Brian Cage tore his squad, had surgery on that,

<v Speaker 1>and then had a full knee replacement. Now I hear that,

<v Speaker 1>I hear nee replacement. You hear about that when people

<v Speaker 1>are retired, right, I'm going to retire and then I'm

<v Speaker 1>gonna get this replaced and I'm gonna get this fixed,

<v Speaker 1>and I'm gonna do this and do that. So when

<v Speaker 1>I heard he was having a full knee replacement, I

<v Speaker 1>mean that to me, I hear that. That sounds career

<v Speaker 1>ending right there. This guy had a full knee replacement,

<v Speaker 1>worked his way back, looks the way he does, goes

<v Speaker 1>out there and didn't really look like he was working

<v Speaker 1>any differently than he normally would. He went out there

<v Speaker 1>and had a hell of a match with Kevin Knight.

<v Speaker 1>So look, I'm happy for the guy. I was following

<v Speaker 1>a little bit along the way on his social media

<v Speaker 1>with you know, kind of his rehab and everything, and

<v Speaker 1>I know he was having a bitch of a time

<v Speaker 1>there for a while, uh, trying to get healthy, and

<v Speaker 1>so I'm happy that he is healthy, and does that

<v Speaker 1>mean that Tony Kahan is going to suddenly start doing

<v Speaker 1>stuff with him on a regular basis? Probably not. Probably not.

<v Speaker 1>The best he could probably hope for is just being

<v Speaker 1>part of the Callus family whenever they come out on television.

<v Speaker 1>So I'm not expecting a miracle here, but it's just

<v Speaker 1>good to see him healthy again and hopefully he can

<v Speaker 1>stay that way because I know that was a very

<v Speaker 1>serious injury situation that he was dealing with. Now, after

<v Speaker 1>the match was over, Mike Bailey took the microphone. He

<v Speaker 1>congratulated Kevin Knight on a hell of a win. Knight

<v Speaker 1>did the same to Bailey. They were being very complimentary

<v Speaker 1>of each other, a little too complimentary. I said, where

<v Speaker 1>is this going? Knight said he still can't get over

<v Speaker 1>losing to Darby Allen. Bailey said, look, you're a future

<v Speaker 1>aw World champion and everybody knows it. And Knight said

<v Speaker 1>that Bail has always been in his corner and someday

<v Speaker 1>Bailey will be champion as well. See, this is where

<v Speaker 1>I thought the challenge was coming for double or nothing,

<v Speaker 1>because neither of these men are in the owen Hart Tournament, which, again,

<v Speaker 1>if you think about it, Mark Davis being in there,

<v Speaker 1>Jack Perry being in there, Like, there's a whole list

<v Speaker 1>of names that you would look at and go, how

<v Speaker 1>come this guy's not in there? How come that guy's

<v Speaker 1>not in there? And the easy answer is Tony doesn't

<v Speaker 1>want to beat him. That's why they're not in there.

<v Speaker 1>Otherwise you'd have Kenny Omega in there. Kevin Knight would

<v Speaker 1>be in there, right, I mean, there's a whole Androte

<v Speaker 1>would be in there. There's a very simple answer. Tony

<v Speaker 1>does not want to beat them. That's why they're not

<v Speaker 1>in there. But because of that, I said, well, maybe

<v Speaker 1>the match at double or Nothing is going to be

<v Speaker 1>speedball against Kevin Knight. And I think it still might be.

<v Speaker 1>But that's not what this was. Bailey said, you know what,

<v Speaker 1>you're right about him being champion one day, And on

<v Speaker 1>that note, he decides to go ahead and call out

<v Speaker 1>the winner of tonight's main event between Darby Allen and

<v Speaker 1>Kenoski takesh They said Takeshta was his greatest rival in Japan,

<v Speaker 1>but they have yet to meet one on one in

<v Speaker 1>aaw and Darby, as much as he would like to

<v Speaker 1>see MJF. Bald, he's coming for that AAW World Championship.

<v Speaker 1>So we're not done yet with these Darby title matches.

<v Speaker 1>These title matches are going to continue, and we are

<v Speaker 1>going to get Speedball against Darby Allen. I guess next

<v Speaker 1>week on Dynamite that's where we're headed, and then it'll

<v Speaker 1>be interesting when Speedball loses. Is that what kind of

<v Speaker 1>sends him over the edge? I feel like what we're

<v Speaker 1>going to get at the pay per view is probably

<v Speaker 1>going to be Speedball and Mike Bailey. But to the

<v Speaker 1>point that the other person just made a little while ago,

<v Speaker 1>I don't know that that means Bailey has to go Heal. Honestly,

<v Speaker 1>of the two of them, if anybody was going to

<v Speaker 1>go Heal, the one who's kind of full of himself

<v Speaker 1>and it would make more sense for him to go

<v Speaker 1>Heal would be Kevin Knight. I just feel like of

<v Speaker 1>the two, Kevin Knight would make a better Heal than Speedball.

<v Speaker 1>Would we go to Jack Perry backstage, He's got his knife.

<v Speaker 1>He says that Mark Davis is no champion to him.

<v Speaker 1>It took somebody else hitting him in the back with

<v Speaker 1>a golf club for Davis to win that title from him.

<v Speaker 1>Perry told him though, bring all your friends a double

<v Speaker 1>or nothing. But after the pay per view, two of

<v Speaker 1>us are going to meet in the Owen Heart Tournament

<v Speaker 1>for the right to challenge for the aw World title,

<v Speaker 1>and that man is going to be him. And if

<v Speaker 1>you don't like that, he says, fuck you. Got some

<v Speaker 1>news on Jack Perry David Shoemaker. If you don't know

<v Speaker 1>who David Shoemaker is, I know he's got a podcast

<v Speaker 1>and he pops up in these WWE documentaries all the time.

<v Speaker 1>David Shoemaker is saying that Jack Perry is about to

<v Speaker 1>be a free agent and could possibly be WWE bound.

<v Speaker 1>This is the first I'm hearing of this, so I

<v Speaker 1>was a little taken aback. We've heard a lot about

<v Speaker 1>Anna j. I haven't heard this about Jack Perry and

<v Speaker 1>A Jay. There's been a lot of talk about Anna

<v Speaker 1>Jay's contract being up soon and how she might pursue

<v Speaker 1>a career, maybe in WWE or go to NXT, so

<v Speaker 1>I've heard her name mentioned. This is the first time

<v Speaker 1>I'm hearing the same for Jack Perry, and I mean

<v Speaker 1>it's very hard, not impossible, but it's very hard to

<v Speaker 1>imagine Jack Perry and Cmpunk both being employed yet again

<v Speaker 1>by the same company. But I suppose there's a chance

<v Speaker 1>that it could very well happen. I find it very

<v Speaker 1>hard to believe. I find it very hard to believe

<v Speaker 1>that he would leave. But this is the chatter that's

<v Speaker 1>out there. We'll see. Are we looking at his story

<v Speaker 1>in these next few months where both Jack Perry and

<v Speaker 1>Anna j jump ship and go to WWE. I don't know,

<v Speaker 1>but that's the word on the street. At least according

<v Speaker 1>to mister Shoemaker. He's about to be a free agent

<v Speaker 1>as something changes very soon. Brawl out too, says Indra.

<v Speaker 1>Can you imagine they just happened to be walking down

<v Speaker 1>the hallway backstage one day at the same time. Oh man,

<v Speaker 1>I just I've tried to like visualize this. I'm like, uh,

<v Speaker 1>I don't know. Brawl out too, electric Bugaloo. Yes, put

<v Speaker 1>that on Unreal. I want to see that first face

<v Speaker 1>to face meeting on the next season of Unreal. Will

<v Speaker 1>ospray he went one on one on this show with Steve,

<v Speaker 1>Steve Austin, with Ace. I wish with Ace Austen uh Osprey,

<v Speaker 1>he may have slowed things down a little bit here.

<v Speaker 1>I was watching to see how different his in ring

<v Speaker 1>style would be with all these training vignettes, and I

<v Speaker 1>know Moxley told him on the roof earlier in the

<v Speaker 1>show like you can still fly, but now you're going

<v Speaker 1>to be more dangerous. But still I thought, Okay, well,

<v Speaker 1>maybe maybe they'll they'll show like, oh, this is a

<v Speaker 1>different well Ospray again. Maybe he slowed things down a

<v Speaker 1>little bit, but it's the same well Ospray. He's doing

<v Speaker 1>all of his you know, aerial moves. He did the

<v Speaker 1>fucking sky twister press. All the stuff that you would

<v Speaker 1>expect him to do he was doing here. In this match,

<v Speaker 1>Austin attacked Ospbury's neck. During the commercial break, Ospbury landed

<v Speaker 1>an oscutter for a near fall. Yeah, yes, Manny, Yes.

<v Speaker 1>He went for a hidden blade, but Austin avoided it

<v Speaker 1>and both men were battling on the ropes, which led

<v Speaker 1>to Austin diving into a sitout power bomb for a

<v Speaker 1>near fall. Eventually, Ospbury connected with the hidden blade and

<v Speaker 1>a running kick to the injured arm. He was working

<v Speaker 1>over Austin's injured arm during the match, and then he

<v Speaker 1>got a flying cross arm bar applied and Austin immediately

<v Speaker 1>tapped out. So that I guess would be the big

<v Speaker 1>thing in this match him working over a body part.

<v Speaker 1>He was working over the arm. He won with the

<v Speaker 1>arm bar, so that was something that you ordinarily would

<v Speaker 1>not see. I thought, I mean, silly me. I thought

<v Speaker 1>maybe there was a chance he would tone down some

<v Speaker 1>of the other stuff, save it for like the big matches.

<v Speaker 1>But it's basically will Osbury, but now with some submission

<v Speaker 1>stuff incorporated into his arsenal to go with the training

<v Speaker 1>that he's been receiving from the Death Riders. Because Austin

<v Speaker 1>tapped out right away, he didn't wait, He's like, you know,

<v Speaker 1>fucking my arm up and he immediately tapped out. But

<v Speaker 1>they went fifteen minutes with this, and you know, maybe

<v Speaker 1>they could have shaved a few minutes off of it.

<v Speaker 1>But I thought it was a very good match and

<v Speaker 1>the best showing yet for Ace Austin in an aw ring.

<v Speaker 1>He does not get a lot of airtime on Dynamite.

<v Speaker 1>I'd like to see him get a little bit more,

<v Speaker 1>but there's only so much real estate to go around,

<v Speaker 1>and he's just not someone who's focused on right now,

<v Speaker 1>so you're not going to get to see him on

<v Speaker 1>this show every year. Every now and then in a

<v Speaker 1>match like this where he can go out there and

<v Speaker 1>show what he can do, but just to get beat

<v Speaker 1>by somebody else, that's probably the best he could hope for.

<v Speaker 1>But I thought he made the most of the time

<v Speaker 1>he was given and they had a very good match here.

<v Speaker 1>And when it was over, the two men shook hands.

<v Speaker 1>That outcomes Samoa, Joe and the Ops minus Hook. He

<v Speaker 1>was not there. He was upset that he never heard

<v Speaker 1>back from Osprey all the inquiries about him potentially joining

<v Speaker 1>the Ops. But now fate has put them in the

<v Speaker 1>ring together one on one, and the opener of the

<v Speaker 1>owen Hart Tournament, Joe said, you know, you could have

<v Speaker 1>had a buye in the opening round, because that's what

<v Speaker 1>he does for his friends. But Ospray made his choice.

<v Speaker 1>Now he gets to suffer the consequences of that choice.

<v Speaker 1>Joe said that he had his date with Destiny, so

<v Speaker 1>he would leave him alone for tonight. But his friends,

<v Speaker 1>he doesn't put a leash on them. But the Death

<v Speaker 1>Riders they made their way out, they surrounded the ring.

<v Speaker 1>They basically acted, you might say, as a shield for

<v Speaker 1>will Ospray and the Ops backed off. At that point,

<v Speaker 1>Moxley was looking at Osprey. Osprey was looking at Moxley.

<v Speaker 1>It's quite amazing, isn't it. They went from bitter rivals

<v Speaker 1>and Osprey wanted to murder this man to now they're

<v Speaker 1>like BFFs every week on television. It's quite the transformation.

<v Speaker 1>Rene was backstage with Don Kallis and Knoski Takeshta ahead

<v Speaker 1>of tonight's main event. Callous said that Takesha will be

<v Speaker 1>heading into double or nothing as the AEW world champion.

<v Speaker 1>What's going on? Hired gun So MJF walks in and

<v Speaker 1>he puts over Takeshtay. He's talking him up and he says,

<v Speaker 1>you know, I can't think of a better idea than

<v Speaker 1>Takeshta versus MJF two, and he shakes Takeshta's Hey, yeah,

<v Speaker 1>I forgot they wrestled. When did they wrestle? Though had

<v Speaker 1>to be a few years ago. Takesha says something in

<v Speaker 1>Japanese and then he leaves and Callus says to MJF, oh,

<v Speaker 1>it's a good pep talk, and MJF gussie, I didn't

<v Speaker 1>believe a word of it, or don't believe a word

<v Speaker 1>of it. I didn't mean any of it. He goes,

<v Speaker 1>I'm having a panic attack here. I don't want to

<v Speaker 1>end up looking like some bald freak. No offense to

<v Speaker 1>Don caallus, he says, So he gave Callous a dynamite

<v Speaker 1>diamond ring to use tonight if necessary. Andrade walks in.

<v Speaker 1>MJF leaves and Andrade is telling Don Callas and signaling

<v Speaker 1>that he wants to come after the AW World title.

<v Speaker 1>And so I hear him say this, and I just think,

<v Speaker 1>you know, if only there was a tournament that was

<v Speaker 1>about to start for a shot at the AW World Championship,

<v Speaker 1>wouldn't that be a great play for androde to be

<v Speaker 1>given that he wants to win the championship so badly.

<v Speaker 1>If only there was a tournament about to begin, I

<v Speaker 1>think that would have been the perfect spot for Androtte.

<v Speaker 1>It's too bad, It's too bad. He should be upset

<v Speaker 1>that Don Challis picked Mark Davis to be in this tournament.

<v Speaker 1>You know, Don Challis had some poll with which one

<v Speaker 1>of his guys was going to be in the tournament.

<v Speaker 1>Mark Davis is in there, and Androtti is on the

<v Speaker 1>outside looking. He should be upset about that. So Renee

<v Speaker 1>was backstage after a break with the Conglomeration Kyle O'Reilly

<v Speaker 1>says that Roddy and Orange Cassidy they should be going

<v Speaker 1>after the tag team titles because, if you remember, the

<v Speaker 1>Conglomeration is out of shot at the tag belts. So

<v Speaker 1>Kyle says that he's going to go after singles gold

<v Speaker 1>because John Moxley has the Continental Championship, which I gotta

<v Speaker 1>tell you, I completely forgot about that fucking belt. You know.

<v Speaker 1>Mosley was kind of like in the Darby role where

<v Speaker 1>he was defending that title or not maybe not defending it,

<v Speaker 1>but he was at least having eliminator matches every week,

<v Speaker 1>and that kind of slowed down now and I just

<v Speaker 1>totally forgot. Oh yeah, that's right. He's got that fucking

<v Speaker 1>Continental belt. And Kyle points out that he's tapped out

<v Speaker 1>Moxley before and so he wants a shot at the

<v Speaker 1>Continental championship. Willow Nightingale is with them. She's also part

<v Speaker 1>of the conglomeration, and she says that she too has goals.

<v Speaker 1>She pulls out her TBS Championship. She says she's also

<v Speaker 1>won the owen Hart Tournament before and so she'll do

<v Speaker 1>it again and she'll have all the gold. And then

<v Speaker 1>Mark Briscoe showed up and so he's back and he

<v Speaker 1>challenged Tomaso Champa to a match on Dynamite. Next week

<v Speaker 1>we had the Triangle of Madness Tekla Julia Hart sky

<v Speaker 1>Blue taking on the brawling Birds Jamie Hayter and Alex

<v Speaker 1>Windsor and Hikarushida. The match broke down into a brawl

<v Speaker 1>right out of the gate. Late in the match, Hater

<v Speaker 1>and Windsor they hit a double team thrust kick facebuster

<v Speaker 1>combo on Tecla. They were setting up for their two Birds,

<v Speaker 1>one stone finish. Tecla escaped, sky Blue entered. She went

<v Speaker 1>for a Code Blue. Windsor, though was able to avoid it.

<v Speaker 1>So the Birds were setting up for two Birds one stone. Tecla, though,

<v Speaker 1>grabs the aw Women's World Championship and hits Jamie Hayter

<v Speaker 1>with it for the disqualification. The lame disqualification, and after

<v Speaker 1>the match, Hater and Windsor they were attacked three on

<v Speaker 1>two because she'd have bailed, She's like, I'm out of here,

<v Speaker 1>and as she's leaving, we see Willow and thunder Rosa

<v Speaker 1>and Mina Sirkawa. They all run out to make the save.

<v Speaker 1>Somewhere in this one of the referees got misted by

<v Speaker 1>Julia Hart. I didn't see which referee was. I mean,

<v Speaker 1>this was decent enough stuff. This existed for one reason.

<v Speaker 1>The whole purpose of this was to get to the

<v Speaker 1>end of the match where Tecla could hit Jamie Hayter

<v Speaker 1>with the championship, because Jamie Hayter is one of the

<v Speaker 1>women challenging her for the title. At the pay per view,

<v Speaker 1>there is going to be a four way for the

<v Speaker 1>women's world title. Tecla will be defending against Chris Statlander,

<v Speaker 1>against Jamie Hayter, and against Karashida, and something's gonna happen

<v Speaker 1>there between Statlander and Shida because they've really been teasing

<v Speaker 1>it out and building to it for a while. I

<v Speaker 1>can't imagine Tecla drops the belt in this four way,

<v Speaker 1>but I also I don't I'm trying to think back

<v Speaker 1>what pay per view is that where Statlander won the

<v Speaker 1>world title from Tony Storm. Was that all out? I

<v Speaker 1>think it might have been all out. It was all

<v Speaker 1>out of Wrestle Dream last year, and I don't know

<v Speaker 1>that I was expecting that. So look, you can't rule

<v Speaker 1>it out Shida winning the belt, though I don't know

<v Speaker 1>that I see that hater. Hater's going after the tag belts,

<v Speaker 1>and then you got Statler, who's got her story going

<v Speaker 1>with Shida. I feel like they kind of cancel each

<v Speaker 1>other out. Techla's not losing Techl's not losing that belt.

<v Speaker 1>But they closed the show Darby Allen defending the aw

<v Speaker 1>World Championship again. They said his fifth defense in like

<v Speaker 1>three weeks. It was supposed to be against Okada was unavailable,

<v Speaker 1>so tonight it was Kenoski Takeshta. Now, Renee was at ringside.

<v Speaker 1>They do this gimmick now for some of the matches,

<v Speaker 1>where as the person is making their entrance, Rene is

<v Speaker 1>at ringside, like the roving sideline reporter, which is kind

<v Speaker 1>of cool. It's something different, you know. I will I

<v Speaker 1>will never fault any of these companies for trying something different.

<v Speaker 1>I just hope that when they try something different and

<v Speaker 1>it sucks, they don't do it again, like that dumb

<v Speaker 1>press conference segment with Hangman and MJF a few months ago.

<v Speaker 1>Don't ever do that again, please. But then again, you

<v Speaker 1>also have collision last weekend on a fucking indoor golf course,

<v Speaker 1>which I guess some people thought was stupid or bushel.

<v Speaker 1>I mean I saw some dumb comments. I mean, I

<v Speaker 1>thought it was fine. I thought it was fucking great.

<v Speaker 1>I love it when they try wacky new locations like that.

<v Speaker 1>I don't want them to be dissuaded from it. It's

<v Speaker 1>not something you could do all the time, but it

<v Speaker 1>was something. It was something different, and I thought it

<v Speaker 1>looked cool. So sometimes you try stuff that works, sometimes

<v Speaker 1>you try stuff that doesn't. Anyway, she's at ringside reminding

<v Speaker 1>us that two years ago Ta kesh to beat Darby,

<v Speaker 1>and we also got footage of the title match from

<v Speaker 1>the Fairway to Hell show I just mentioned where Darby

<v Speaker 1>beat Pack. So Darby here a quick dropkick to the outside.

<v Speaker 1>He tried for a toe pay. He got caught though,

<v Speaker 1>and he got sent into the ring. Post By takeshda.

<v Speaker 1>It's a big back body drop that sent Darby back

<v Speaker 1>out to the floor. Callous was showing off that he

<v Speaker 1>was wearing mjf's diamond ring on his finger. So, by

<v Speaker 1>the way, that reminds me. I saw something on Bianca

<v Speaker 1>bel Air's Instagram. She got her I guess, her wedding

<v Speaker 1>band back. She had to have her ring resized because

<v Speaker 1>her finger. Her finger is actually wider now than her thumb.

<v Speaker 1>So she had to have her ring resize from a

<v Speaker 1>size seven and a half to a size ten because

<v Speaker 1>of all the swelling in the finger, which I don't

<v Speaker 1>think is ever going away. I think I think her

<v Speaker 1>finger is healing, but the swelling like as fat as

<v Speaker 1>the finger looks now, that will never go away. But

<v Speaker 1>think about that, she went from a ring size of

<v Speaker 1>seven and a half to ten in that finger with

<v Speaker 1>the with the knuckle the joint that she broke. It's crazy.

<v Speaker 1>So Takesha. He took the ring steps outside and he

<v Speaker 1>was repositioning them and he wanted a power drive knee

<v Speaker 1>into the steps. Darby moved though and takeshta collided knee

<v Speaker 1>two steps, which I'm sure was not fun. Darby launched

<v Speaker 1>off the steps with a shotgun dropkick. Then he got in.

<v Speaker 1>He had a wild tall pay and he even crashed

<v Speaker 1>into the announced table himself on the landing. So both

<v Speaker 1>men fought to the apron. Darby wanted to cough and

<v Speaker 1>splash from the ropes. He got caught though, into a

<v Speaker 1>blue thunderbomb from the apron to the floor. He went

<v Speaker 1>splat on the ground and I'm like, holy fuck man,

<v Speaker 1>what are you doing so. Then later on in the

<v Speaker 1>match l Clone, he walks out and he is a

<v Speaker 1>running distraction with the referee. This allowed Don Callus to

<v Speaker 1>hand to Cash the diamond ring he wanted him to

<v Speaker 1>use it. Takesha's pop undering this and he's debating, you

<v Speaker 1>know what he should do, and he's like, I'm not

<v Speaker 1>using this. He throws the ring away and Callous is

<v Speaker 1>just beside himself. Takesha wanted an Avalanche Blue thunderbomb. Darby

<v Speaker 1>fought out of it though into an Avalanche Code red

<v Speaker 1>and then into the last Supper for a close near fo.

<v Speaker 1>He's won many matches with that, but not this one,

<v Speaker 1>so I Takeshta wanted a brainbuster on the steps. Darby

<v Speaker 1>slipped out into a Scorpion death drop on the steps

<v Speaker 1>and then he went up top for a coffin drop

<v Speaker 1>to the floor Takeshta, though he kicked out back inside.

<v Speaker 1>Darby went for another coffin drop. Takesha got the knees

<v Speaker 1>up power drive knee connects. Takeshta wants a power bomb.

<v Speaker 1>Darby counters out of it though into a Scorpion deathlock

<v Speaker 1>and I'm like, don't fucking tap out to this he's

<v Speaker 1>not even leaning back all the way. He's one hundred

<v Speaker 1>and fifty pounds. Don't tap out to this fucking move. Please,

<v Speaker 1>I just I couldn't stand the thought of it. Please

<v Speaker 1>don't let the match end this way. Be ridiculous. Yeah,

<v Speaker 1>how many things we've seen to cash the kick out

<v Speaker 1>of in big matches over the years. It's gonna tap

<v Speaker 1>out to a fucking half assed scorpion deathlock from this guy.

<v Speaker 1>Give me a break, Tomas says. Tomas says, I think

<v Speaker 1>Darby is mentally insane. You're only now figuring this out.

<v Speaker 1>He's been in this company for seven years. How come

<v Speaker 1>it took you so long. I knew that from the

<v Speaker 1>first time I saw him, and he took that coffin

<v Speaker 1>drop on the apron in that match with Cody Rhodes,

<v Speaker 1>which I think was on the first Dynamite. Actually, no,

<v Speaker 1>it wasn't on the first night. Wasn't the first night

<v Speaker 1>of it. No, it wasn't. No, No, Cody and I

<v Speaker 1>think Cody and Sammy wrestled. No, you know what it was.

<v Speaker 1>I believe it was a month or two after the

<v Speaker 1>first double or nothing, and it was like fight for

<v Speaker 1>the Fallen or some kind of special I think that's

<v Speaker 1>where it was. And Cody was on the apron laying there,

<v Speaker 1>and Darby came off with a coffin drop and Cody

<v Speaker 1>rolled out of the way and he hit the fucking

<v Speaker 1>edge of the ring and fell to the floor, and

<v Speaker 1>I'm like, what the fuck is wrong with this guy?

<v Speaker 1>That was my first exposure to Darby Allen, so I've

<v Speaker 1>known since twenty nineteen this guy was out of his mind.

<v Speaker 1>Fighter Fest, thank you. I thought it was Fight for

<v Speaker 1>the Fallen. It was fighter Fest. Yeah, I get them

<v Speaker 1>mixed up too. Anyway, Thankfully Takeshta. He got to the

<v Speaker 1>ropes for the rope break, but he was in perfect

<v Speaker 1>position for Darby to go up and hit not one

<v Speaker 1>but two coffin drops and he got the pin. I

<v Speaker 1>could accept that if you would have tapped out in

<v Speaker 1>that scorpion depth dry that death luck. I couldn't accept that.

<v Speaker 1>So after the match, Darby demanded that MJF get his

<v Speaker 1>ass out here. This How long was this over? It

<v Speaker 1>was like a fifteen minute overrun tonight. So he demands

<v Speaker 1>that he comes out to the ring to sign the

<v Speaker 1>contract for double or nothing, and they have a bunch

<v Speaker 1>of workers at ringside that are very quickly getting like

<v Speaker 1>a table in the ring and the contract and the

<v Speaker 1>office chair and everything. So mjf's music hits and he

<v Speaker 1>walks out to the ring very reluctantly, and he signs

<v Speaker 1>the contract. Darby does right away. MJFS taking a long

<v Speaker 1>look at the contract and he steps back into the corner.

<v Speaker 1>Ex Caliber on Commentary says it's only hair. It'll grow back,

<v Speaker 1>and Taz says, well, yeah, but it cost him a

<v Speaker 1>lot of money. So MJF took a seat, and Darby said,

<v Speaker 1>he said, Darby looks like he has rabies because there's

<v Speaker 1>a small part of him, kind of like all the

<v Speaker 1>dicks of all the men here in Asheville, just a

<v Speaker 1>small part of him that feels bad for Darby because

<v Speaker 1>you're never gonna hold that championship ever. Again, says Darby

<v Speaker 1>has about as good as a shot at holding onto

<v Speaker 1>that belt as hangman Adam Page does. MJF calls Darby

<v Speaker 1>a diamond dozen stunt men. His legacy is that of

<v Speaker 1>a kid who had fifteen minutes of fame. People will

<v Speaker 1>pretend that he's made an impact when he hasn't. The

<v Speaker 1>fans know deep down that Darby is just a prick

<v Speaker 1>who got lucky, who's too reckless and too stupid to

<v Speaker 1>stay on top. Double or nothing, mjf's legacy will be

<v Speaker 1>the three time world champion at just thirty years of age,

<v Speaker 1>the greatest of all time. Darby likes to brag about

<v Speaker 1>climbing the mountaintop, or to the mountaintop. MJF is the mountain,

<v Speaker 1>so Darby said, only someone who is so vain would

<v Speaker 1>be worried about his legacy. Darby just cares about living

<v Speaker 1>in the moment. So sign the contract and at double

<v Speaker 1>or nothing, I'll make you a bald headed bitch. MJF

<v Speaker 1>signs the contract. He holds up the contract binder and

<v Speaker 1>then he takes Darby down and he starts raining, blows

<v Speaker 1>down upon him. Then he gets up. He blasts Darby

<v Speaker 1>in the head with the dynamite diamond ring and he

<v Speaker 1>holds up the world title. And he was about to leave.

<v Speaker 1>He came back to the ring and he was going

<v Speaker 1>to go for an avalanche. Tombstone got him in positioned

<v Speaker 1>for it. All he had to do was jump. Instead,

<v Speaker 1>he puts him back down and he flees. When he

<v Speaker 1>sees Kevin Knight, who runs out for the save and

<v Speaker 1>that is how things ended. So the match, this was

<v Speaker 1>just an absolute car crash of a match. I mean,

<v Speaker 1>every insane bump that you could think of that Darby

<v Speaker 1>could take, he took none bigger to me anyway than

<v Speaker 1>the blue thunderbomb off the apron. God, that's got to

<v Speaker 1>knock the wind right at you. That has got to

<v Speaker 1>knock the wind at you, Alonge, I've had that happen

<v Speaker 1>to me before too, where you're not ready for it.

<v Speaker 1>In my case, you're not ready for it and then

<v Speaker 1>I can't breathe for like fifteen seconds. So scary at

<v Speaker 1>fucking feeling. But anyway, so I guess that just brought

<v Speaker 1>back bad memories for me. You guys went out there,

<v Speaker 1>and I got to say, they put on a hell

<v Speaker 1>of a show. And you could say whatever you want

<v Speaker 1>about Darby Allen and what you think about him being

<v Speaker 1>the world champion and all that and his reckless style.

<v Speaker 1>He has gone out there each of these last few weeks,

<v Speaker 1>and week in and week out he's putting on exciting

<v Speaker 1>title fights. It is the best short run that anybody

<v Speaker 1>has had in the history of this promotion with that championship,

<v Speaker 1>considering he's only had the belt for what three or

<v Speaker 1>four weeks? What do you He won the belt on

<v Speaker 1>April fifteenth, so he's had the belt for about a month.

<v Speaker 1>Find me another world title run in aw where in

<v Speaker 1>the span of those first four weeks you've had somebody

<v Speaker 1>go out there and defend the title like this every

<v Speaker 1>single week, you know, and again some credible names too,

<v Speaker 1>and go out there and have these banger matches that

<v Speaker 1>he's been having every single week, you know. So the

<v Speaker 1>matches have been a lot of fun, but the keyword

<v Speaker 1>there is short, short title run. So far he can't

<v Speaker 1>keep going on like this. It's not sustainable to believe

<v Speaker 1>that Darby would be going out there for another four, six,

<v Speaker 1>eight weeks, twelve weeks, go to London defend against Ospring

<v Speaker 1>and continue doing this and having matches every week and

<v Speaker 1>putting his body through the stuff that he's putting his

<v Speaker 1>body through week in a week, even storyline wise, it

<v Speaker 1>just doesn't make sense. It's not sustainable. So no matter

<v Speaker 1>how hard they try to convince you that MJF is

<v Speaker 1>going to lose his hair at double or nothing, I

<v Speaker 1>can't buy into it. It's just it's unrealistic to me.

<v Speaker 1>Darby is wrestling these matches like someone who knows he's

<v Speaker 1>on borrowed time because he is. And again MJF, they

<v Speaker 1>always mock him and talk about him going to Turkey

<v Speaker 1>and paying for this hair transplant or whatever it was

<v Speaker 1>that he did. He did pay a lot of money

<v Speaker 1>for it. I wouldn't want to shave my head if

<v Speaker 1>I were him. The fuck would I want to do

<v Speaker 1>that for? I don't give a shit how long it

<v Speaker 1>takes to grow back. I have to tell you, if

<v Speaker 1>it wasn't for if it wasn't for that stipulation, I

<v Speaker 1>could buy into the idea that Darby might just win

<v Speaker 1>and they might have him hold on to it a

<v Speaker 1>little bit longer, maybe even until like Forbidden Door or something.

<v Speaker 1>But once they added the hair stipulation, to me, that

<v Speaker 1>was the giveaway. Yeah, if you weren't already convinced that

<v Speaker 1>MJF was getting the belt back in New York, I

<v Speaker 1>feel like once they added that stipulation, it became pretty

<v Speaker 1>clear about who was going to walk into I presume

<v Speaker 1>walk into Wembley. I mean, I certainly wouldn't have the

<v Speaker 1>belt switch back to MJF just to have him lose

<v Speaker 1>it before Wembley. I mean that would be dumb. So anyway,

<v Speaker 1>that was Dynamite tonight, a more enjoyable show than the

<v Speaker 1>show we had last week. I know, I'm a horrible,

<v Speaker 1>terrible person according to some people, I guess for saying

<v Speaker 1>anything remotely negative last week about that show, because every

<v Speaker 1>Dynamite is the best Dynamite of all time. Like I

<v Speaker 1>know that, I know, But I saw a little bit

<v Speaker 1>of that brain rot last week. But I did not

<v Speaker 1>have fun with that show last week the way that

<v Speaker 1>I did this week. So I wonder if I'll hear

<v Speaker 1>from those people now, now that I've praised this show

<v Speaker 1>more than I did last week. I wonder I wonder

<v Speaker 1>if I'll hear from those people. You want bald solo Monster, Well,

<v Speaker 1>I mean, I don't know. Give it another five or

<v Speaker 1>ten years, you'll probably get bald solo Monster. Happens to

<v Speaker 1>all of us, doesn't it. It's inevitable. Otherwise, No, you

<v Speaker 1>are not getting bald solo Monster. Maybe maybe i'll maybe

<v Speaker 1>I'll dress up for a Halloween. I'll put the bald

<v Speaker 1>cap on. You'll get bald solo Monster, or do rag

<v Speaker 1>solom monster. Maybe we'll do that for Halloween. Anyway, let

<v Speaker 1>me do a quick check. Here. The wheel the Wheel

<v Speaker 1>o Fortune that we spun earlier said three point fifty.

<v Speaker 1>We are currently at four hundred, so give yourselves a

<v Speaker 1>round of applause. We will be doing be the Booker,

<v Speaker 1>but that's for later. Right now, we got other business

<v Speaker 1>to transact here. We got some questions and comments to

<v Speaker 1>go through from all of you. I'm gonna go through

<v Speaker 1>your super chats, so if you've got something to say,

<v Speaker 1>get them on in. Thank you as always for the

<v Speaker 1>support and all the love. I appreciate it. Solo Monster

<v Speaker 1>for Halloween will go as do rag Vince. Thank you, Sarah.

<v Speaker 1>I think I'm fair, but again, some people, if you're

<v Speaker 1>not one extreme where the other you're, you're a hater.

<v Speaker 1>You're on the payroll. It's just I just, I just

<v Speaker 1>I can't have a laugh at it. At this point,

<v Speaker 1>I feel like I'm on so many payrolls. I don't

<v Speaker 1>even have to do these streams anymore. I could just

<v Speaker 1>retire just based off all the payrolls that apparently I'm on. Mysteriously,

<v Speaker 1>Joseph Stewart, Happy Wednesday to you, brother, and he says

<v Speaker 1>happy fortieth birthday to the Batman. Robert Pattinson. It is

<v Speaker 1>is forty fortieth. Huh. The guy from Twilight is forty

<v Speaker 1>years old. It's hard to believe Jack Perry as Tarzan

<v Speaker 1>in NXT. Yeah. Yeah, he'd have to change his name,

<v Speaker 1>wouldn't he. Hmm. He says both The Batman and the

<v Speaker 1>Superman sequel Man of Tomorrow have started filming right now. Well,

<v Speaker 1>I would hope. So. I think The Batman is due

<v Speaker 1>out next year, isn't it. Have you seen Matt Reeves

<v Speaker 1>post where he posted a screen test of the Batmobile? Yes,

<v Speaker 1>I did, driving in the snow? I did see that

<v Speaker 1>because the Batman Part two takes place in the winter.

<v Speaker 1>I gathered that from the snow. Said, also, you confirm

<v Speaker 1>that Robert Pattinson has started filming. What are you looking

<v Speaker 1>forward to the most in the Batman Part two? Well,

<v Speaker 1>I mean, I guess if he's in it the Joker.

<v Speaker 1>What is your favorite color that the Undertaker wore? Black

<v Speaker 1>and gray or black and purple? You know, it's funny.

<v Speaker 1>I haven't affinity for both, but I always go back

<v Speaker 1>to the og black and gray. Why do some people

<v Speaker 1>think Stone Cold Steve Austin was not as popular as

<v Speaker 1>Hulk Hogan was because they're either too young, or they're

<v Speaker 1>just being a naive. I mean, you can quibble over

<v Speaker 1>who you put at number one and who you put

<v Speaker 1>a number two, but to say he wasn't as popular

<v Speaker 1>is just not true. It's just demonstrably false. Where does

<v Speaker 1>Andre the Giant rank as the most recognized wrestler ever,

<v Speaker 1>one of the most recognized wrestlers ever. I don't know

<v Speaker 1>where he ranks, so I'm not going to do a

<v Speaker 1>sudden ranking, but you know, Hogan is number one. You

<v Speaker 1>got the Rock obviously, because the Rock now is a big, worldwide,

<v Speaker 1>globally known Hollywood star. So Hogan, Rock Sena, and then

<v Speaker 1>I would go Andre. Maybe Andre would come after those guys.

<v Speaker 1>His name is still mentioned even people who probably don't

<v Speaker 1>even know who he is. You probably get like an

<v Speaker 1>Andre the Giant mentioned in pop culture every now and then,

<v Speaker 1>and I would say he's still pretty well known. He's

<v Speaker 1>become this like mythical figure over the years, which I

<v Speaker 1>guess is kind of cool. What if Yoko Zuna joined

<v Speaker 1>WCW in the late nineties, then he would have done

<v Speaker 1>the job for Hulk Hogan, and Hogan would have gotten

<v Speaker 1>his win back. There were reports that Hogan was trying

<v Speaker 1>to get him into WCW so that he could get

<v Speaker 1>his win back, but it just didn't work out. This

<v Speaker 1>probably would have been around ninety eight or so after

<v Speaker 1>he left. The reason that he left. He was under

<v Speaker 1>contract with WWE until I think May of ninety eight.

<v Speaker 1>Even though you didn't see him on TV at all

<v Speaker 1>in ninety seven, he was still technically under contract with them,

<v Speaker 1>but he was just so morbidly obese they couldn't do

<v Speaker 1>anything with him. You know, a lot of commissions weren't

<v Speaker 1>going to clear him to wrestle. It's like, well, if

<v Speaker 1>you're not gonna lose the weight, there's not much we

<v Speaker 1>can do with you. I don't think it would have

<v Speaker 1>been any different with WCW. There was no way. There

<v Speaker 1>was no way you might be able to get one

<v Speaker 1>match out of him. What are you going to do

<v Speaker 1>with the guy that big? He legitimately got up to

<v Speaker 1>eight hundred pounds at his peak, Like, what do you

<v Speaker 1>had no idea what vibe coding was. But if you

<v Speaker 1>stop and think about it. It's exactly what it sounds like.

<v Speaker 1>And now, thanks to Wicks Harmony, you can vibe code

<v Speaker 1>an entire website just by typing in what you want

<v Speaker 1>and through the power of AI, you'll get a website

<v Speaker 1>that mirrors what you've pictured in your head and is

<v Speaker 1>functional right out of the gate. But Wick's Harmony doesn't

<v Speaker 1>force you to use AI for everything. Oh no, no,

<v Speaker 1>no no no. If you have options, you can still

<v Speaker 1>click and change whatever you want all on your own,

<v Speaker 1>or you can click on something then ask Aria, your

<v Speaker 1>AI agent, to change it for you. It's actually a

<v Speaker 1>really smart tool. It also solved the very annoying problem

<v Speaker 1>of having to prompt AI over and over again, even

<v Speaker 1>for the smallest changes. This is a lot more efficient

<v Speaker 1>Guerrero did not leave WCW in two thousand, what could

<v Speaker 1>you have seen him doing in WCW under Vince Russo?

<v Speaker 1>Not a whole lot. He would have won maybe some

<v Speaker 1>mid card titles. I really don't think he would have

<v Speaker 1>gone any higher than that. Do you remember WCW hosting

<v Speaker 1>some MTV spring breaks in the late nineties. I remember

<v Speaker 1>Brian Adams having a wrestling match at MTV spring break

<v Speaker 1>that WCA hosted. Yes, I do remember that. I actually remember,

<v Speaker 1>and I don't know what year this would have been,

<v Speaker 1>but I remember a spring break that WCW either hosted

<v Speaker 1>or co hosted or partnered with them on. There was

<v Speaker 1>a Battle Royal Chris Jericho won, and I think while

<v Speaker 1>the Battle Royal was happening, Fear Factory was performing. This

<v Speaker 1>probably was like at their peak, and I don't remember

<v Speaker 1>anything else about it. And then there was a separate

<v Speaker 1>spring break on MTV where Haul and Nash were there

<v Speaker 1>and I actually covered I talked about this story probably

<v Speaker 1>in one of the history segments on the sound off.

<v Speaker 1>Some douchebag in the crowd hit Nash with a rock,

<v Speaker 1>and if you watch the footage back, it's scared because

<v Speaker 1>Nash immediately starts scanning the crowd and I don't know

<v Speaker 1>if he saw the guy or people were pointing at

<v Speaker 1>who the guy was. And Nash is a big guy

<v Speaker 1>and I mean even back then, it wasn't like he

<v Speaker 1>was sprinting around. But he jumped off of that stage

<v Speaker 1>and he chased this guy down. Now, imagine you've got

<v Speaker 1>a seven foot Kevin Nash running after you shit a brick.

<v Speaker 1>But he chased that guy down. And I think that

<v Speaker 1>guy or maybe the guy's father whatever, sued Nash. It

<v Speaker 1>was like a whole fucked up story. They sued Nash.

<v Speaker 1>I think for like assaulting his son or something. It

<v Speaker 1>was something ridiculous like that. Anyway, Yeah, those are my

<v Speaker 1>Those are my WSW was MTV spring break memories. Uh

<v Speaker 1>do you remember when MTV had WWE week. It was

<v Speaker 1>the week of SummerSlam ninety nine. I remember Triple H

<v Speaker 1>and China hosting an MTV show when it was I

<v Speaker 1>don't remember that now. I remember ninety eight they had

<v Speaker 1>a partnership or a relationship with the Home Shopping Network.

<v Speaker 1>I remember Summer Slim in ninety eight Highway to Hell.

<v Speaker 1>The Rock had just lost the title in the ladder

<v Speaker 1>match to Triple H, and I think live on HSN

<v Speaker 1>after the show, I think the Rock showed up like

<v Speaker 1>on set they were hawking merch. I remember that Joseph

<v Speaker 1>with the fifty dollars Magenta Bomb. Look at this guy.

<v Speaker 1>By the way, we have a bonus goal going in

<v Speaker 1>the chat that was dead, but now it's starting to

<v Speaker 1>creep up a little bit. I just noticed. But Joseph says,

<v Speaker 1>is it true that Triple H was going to win

<v Speaker 1>the title at SummerSlam ninety nine with Austin coming back

<v Speaker 1>and winning the Royal Rumble In two thousand and Triple

<v Speaker 1>H would defend the title against Austin in the main

<v Speaker 1>event of WrestleMania Is sixteen, with Austin beating Triple H

<v Speaker 1>and winning the title. I've never heard that before. I'm

<v Speaker 1>gonna say, no, that's the first I'm hearing of that.

<v Speaker 1>I don't believe that was ever the plan. I believe

<v Speaker 1>Triple H was at least at one point planned to

<v Speaker 1>win the match at SummerSlam. It was gonna be him.

<v Speaker 1>It was him, Austin and Foley, and they had mankind win.

<v Speaker 1>And there's been a lot of discussion about why that was.

<v Speaker 1>Austin didn't want a job to him, didn't think he

<v Speaker 1>was ready, you know. I mean, it doesn't really hold

<v Speaker 1>water because Austin lost to him two months later at

<v Speaker 1>No Mercy In a singles match. Yeah, it's like, okay,

<v Speaker 1>he wasn't ready in August, but you're okay with losing

<v Speaker 1>to him in October. It doesn't make any sense. So

<v Speaker 1>I think what's more likely is they had Jesse Ventura

<v Speaker 1>in there as the special referee. He was the governor

<v Speaker 1>of Minnesota at the time, right, big babyface, And I

<v Speaker 1>think they probably just did not want him raising the

<v Speaker 1>arm of the heel at the end of the match, right,

<v Speaker 1>because it would have been very easy for Triple H

<v Speaker 1>to pin mankind and Austin doesn't even have to take

<v Speaker 1>the losing. I think they wanted Jesse to raise the

<v Speaker 1>hand of the babyface at the end, and it's like, well,

<v Speaker 1>we can get the belt off Austin without him losing

<v Speaker 1>to Triple H, and we could save the singles match

<v Speaker 1>for again No Mercy or some other show. So that's

<v Speaker 1>what I suspect is what happened there. And then you

<v Speaker 1>fast forward to two thousand and one, right before WrestleMania,

<v Speaker 1>and Austin lost the Three Stages of Hell match to

<v Speaker 1>Triple H. Joseph, thank you very much. I appreciate that,

<v Speaker 1>super chat, but that's not the only Magenta Bomb Joseph

<v Speaker 1>dropped three of them. This is number two. I met

<v Speaker 1>Jack Perry and Anna j while I was on vacation.

<v Speaker 1>I had the opportunity to hang out with them both

<v Speaker 1>along with my family. They knew some of my family member.

<v Speaker 1>I'm so grateful for that opportunity. They were very nice

<v Speaker 1>to me a day I will never forget. That's very cool.

<v Speaker 1>I wonder where you went for your vacation. But Joseph,

<v Speaker 1>that's awesome. Thank you for sharing that. I'm glad that

<v Speaker 1>you had a memorable experience. That's pretty cool. And you

<v Speaker 1>have a very good week as well. He's not done though,

<v Speaker 1>he may see he does one of these things like

<v Speaker 1>triple h when he puts the copyright box up and

<v Speaker 1>you think the show is over, but then the show's

<v Speaker 1>not over. Joseph pulled the same thing. Because there's another

<v Speaker 1>magenta bomb up here from him. Because I'm back with

<v Speaker 1>late breaking news, Matt Reeves just confirmed that Jeffrey Wright

<v Speaker 1>will return as Commissioner Gordon and Andy Serkis will return

<v Speaker 1>as Alfred in The Batman Part two. There you go,

<v Speaker 1>some breaking news here, some breaking Batman news here on

<v Speaker 1>the stream. I'm glad I find that Joseph, I don't

<v Speaker 1>know if you saw a few weeks ago, when I

<v Speaker 1>was coming back from Los Angeles, I finally watched The Batman.

<v Speaker 1>It only took me four years, but I watched it

<v Speaker 1>on my iPad on the plane on the way back

<v Speaker 1>from LA and I enjoyed it. I enjoyed it. I

<v Speaker 1>enjoyed it more than I did. Batman begins Very Dark,

<v Speaker 1>the Very Dark, depressing Gotham in that movie, Elder Murray

<v Speaker 1>with a four ninety nine. If Chris Benwan never left WCW,

<v Speaker 1>what would his career there have looked like. In WCW

<v Speaker 1>two thousand under Vince Russo, I think he would have

<v Speaker 1>been in the upper mix, but he would not have

<v Speaker 1>been focused on a really super focused on guy. And

<v Speaker 1>the only and they put the belt on him when

<v Speaker 1>they did right before he left, was because they were

<v Speaker 1>trying to keep him. So if they've gotten him to

<v Speaker 1>stay and he signed a contract, believe me, that belt

<v Speaker 1>was not gonna be on him for very long. It's like, Okay,

<v Speaker 1>we got him, we got him, Now let's get that

<v Speaker 1>belt away from him. Joseph is back with more. There's

<v Speaker 1>another breaking news here. Matt Reeves just confirmed Colin Farrell

<v Speaker 1>is returning as the Penguin in The Batman Part two. Yeah,

<v Speaker 1>everybody told me I have to watch the TV series.

<v Speaker 1>I haven't done that yet. That that's on my list

<v Speaker 1>of things to do. And Matt Reeves confirmed that he

<v Speaker 1>will confirm more casting on The Batman tomorrow, which will

<v Speaker 1>be Sebastian's Stan as Harvey Dent, Scarlett Johanson his Harvey

<v Speaker 1>Dent's wife, and Barry Keyogan is it or Cogan, I

<v Speaker 1>don't know, as the Joker. Yeah. I saw that deleted

<v Speaker 1>scene from the first Batman movie. It's like a five

<v Speaker 1>minute deleted scene. Is like the best deleted scene I've

<v Speaker 1>ever seen. I could see why it was taken out

<v Speaker 1>of the movie, though I actually agree. I agree with

<v Speaker 1>him cutting it from the first movie because it just

<v Speaker 1>would have taken all the attention away from the Riddler.

<v Speaker 1>You keep that of the movie. Now it's like everyone's

<v Speaker 1>laser focused on Batman and Joker, and that's not what

<v Speaker 1>the story of the first movie was. So I get it.

<v Speaker 1>But it's a hell of a scene. And happy early

<v Speaker 1>birthday to George Lucas. He says, all right, how old

<v Speaker 1>is he gotta be? What eighty ish by now dry

<v Speaker 1>Chicken says, I'm making a bold prediction for the Owen

<v Speaker 1>Heart Cup Finals winners. Men's will Osprey over Swerved Strickland.

<v Speaker 1>That's is that why you put bold in quotation? Mark

<v Speaker 1>has not a very bold prediction there, Women's Alex Windsor

<v Speaker 1>over Mina. Now that is a bold prediction. It's very

<v Speaker 1>bold of you to think that Mina would make it

<v Speaker 1>to the finals. Yeah, I don't want to see Alex

<v Speaker 1>Windsor win that tournament though. We don't need to do

<v Speaker 1>the whole like husband wife are soon to be husband

<v Speaker 1>wife thing. We don't need to do that. We don't

<v Speaker 1>need to do that one month away until the World

<v Speaker 1>Cup happens. Aw New Japan, CMLL and stardom shows the

<v Speaker 1>right time to do forbidden Door during the soccer event.

<v Speaker 1>That's right, Yeah, that's right. I forgot about the World Cup. Shit.

<v Speaker 1>I wonder what the attendance is going to be for

<v Speaker 1>the World Cup because we've seen it with other events.

<v Speaker 1>You know, there's not a whole there's not a whole

<v Speaker 1>lot of international travel coming here as compared to in

<v Speaker 1>the past. Curious what kind of impact that has in

<v Speaker 1>the World Cup attendance. Also, he says, one of these days,

<v Speaker 1>Tony Khan may be tempted to do all In in

<v Speaker 1>Mexico City or Vancouver, Canada in the future. Yeah, I

<v Speaker 1>mean I could I could see that. I mean, they

<v Speaker 1>have the partnership with CMLL, so I could see that.

<v Speaker 1>Ishmael they got to push. Brian Cage says, I don't

<v Speaker 1>get why Tony is obsessed with pushing a washed up

<v Speaker 1>jungle boy. Maybe he's trying to keep him. He's going

<v Speaker 1>to become a free agent if those rumors are true.

<v Speaker 1>Maybe he's trying to keep him. Bender mc simpson loved

<v Speaker 1>that the Death Riders are tweeterers and I like the

<v Speaker 1>rooftop segment. Them and Osbrey are not friends, but they

<v Speaker 1>have an understanding. Yeah, I mean again, they're trying to

<v Speaker 1>tell a story here. Love the MJF Don Kallis segment,

<v Speaker 1>MJF saying that it's his fifth favorite diamond ring and

<v Speaker 1>Androde coming in flipping his hair. He did have very

<v Speaker 1>majestic hair in the segment. I would probably be doing

<v Speaker 1>the same thing as as him in that segment. If

<v Speaker 1>I had long hair like that, I'd be you know,

<v Speaker 1>brushing it up and it would be flowing, it'd be

<v Speaker 1>all over the place here. MD says, no questions, just

<v Speaker 1>wanted to contribute. Thank you, Thank you, m D Chicago

<v Speaker 1>for MBK more open Challenge or more cow bell. I'll

<v Speaker 1>take some cow bell, please, I'll take some cow bell.

<v Speaker 1>Dried Chicken says Ricochet should call out Jericho by saying, oh, Jericho,

<v Speaker 1>come out to play play ye with glass bottles in

<v Speaker 1>his finger. I have no idea what that's in reference to.

<v Speaker 1>If Kevin Knight turns heel, he needs to have a

<v Speaker 1>lot of hot wrestling girls around him. Again, I think

<v Speaker 1>if anybody goes heel between the two of them, he

<v Speaker 1>would work out a lot better with him as a

<v Speaker 1>heel than speedball. Robert, my sixty one year old dad

<v Speaker 1>has two knee replacements, or had two knee replacements ten

<v Speaker 1>years ago, and still working to this day. Some men

<v Speaker 1>refuse to slow down. Yes, But but does your sixty

<v Speaker 1>one year old father wrestle? That's the question. There were

<v Speaker 1>certain jobs where it's just it's crazier to me to

<v Speaker 1>think that you would be replacing your knees and still

<v Speaker 1>going out there and doing what in this case Brian

<v Speaker 1>Cage does for a living. That's just crazy to me.

<v Speaker 1>I haven't seen No, I haven't seen the Warriors. I

<v Speaker 1>have not seen the Warriors. Is that a bad thing

<v Speaker 1>that I have not seen the Warriors? You're gonna judge

<v Speaker 1>me for not seeing the warriors? Dry Chicken says, imagine

<v Speaker 1>Austin the Rattlesnake taking a tiger driver ninety one from Osprey. Yes,

<v Speaker 1>that would never happen. Austin would lay down some ground

<v Speaker 1>rules beforehand, and that would never ever happen. Devin from NJ.

<v Speaker 1>If Jack Perry never got himself suspended for brawl in,

<v Speaker 1>would you have been a world champion by now? No, Hey, EJ,

<v Speaker 1>thank you. Justin g Baldo Monster, he says, it is

<v Speaker 1>a very bad thing that Solo has not seen the Warriors. Eh,

<v Speaker 1>I don't know. Nobody ever said I had to see

<v Speaker 1>the Warriors before. Maybe they just assumed that I had

<v Speaker 1>seen it. Boomerang, Happy birthday to the Goat Stevie wonder Well.

<v Speaker 1>I hope he gets to see your superchab tuxedo t servo. Hey,

<v Speaker 1>Solo Monster, get all the monies you can carrying the

<v Speaker 1>water for insert promotion name here. Yes, I try, I try.

<v Speaker 1>Maybe next week I'll carry some water for Billy Corgan

<v Speaker 1>in the NWI. We'll change to a different promotion every

<v Speaker 1>single week. Maybe the Juggalos imagine carrying water for JCW.

<v Speaker 1>Dry Chicken says, I watched Mortal Kombat two last week

<v Speaker 1>and it was a banger. It was way better than

<v Speaker 1>Mortal Kombat Annihilation. I don't know. I heard Mortal Kombat

<v Speaker 1>Annihilation was just straight up ass. I haven't seen it,

<v Speaker 1>but everything i've I've heard mentioned about it when it

<v Speaker 1>comes up is not good. I saw Mortal Kombat too

<v Speaker 1>in the theater last week. I had a lot of

<v Speaker 1>fun with it. Justin g Solo clearly paid off by

<v Speaker 1>Soft Ground Wrestling. What a shame, what a disgrace in

<v Speaker 1>the pocket of international indies. Yes, soft Ground Wrestling, you

<v Speaker 1>know I am. I happen to be watching the Steve

<v Speaker 1>Austin Rock main event from Wrestleman. He is seventeen, and

<v Speaker 1>I noticed something very interesting that I don't remember noticing before,

<v Speaker 1>which is that in the crowd and it's on the

<v Speaker 1>hardcam side, but obviously it's in one of the first

<v Speaker 1>several rows because the sign is visible on camera when

<v Speaker 1>the person holds it up. I think it's during the

<v Speaker 1>entrances or right at the beginning of the match, I

<v Speaker 1>believe that somebody is holding up an H O G sign.

<v Speaker 1>They hold up a sign it just says Hog, and

<v Speaker 1>I'm like, man, this guy must be a time traveler.

<v Speaker 1>This is two thousand and one. Like, how have I

<v Speaker 1>not noticed that before? I've worked for Hog for eight years.

<v Speaker 1>I've never noticed this before. E J. Slamp watched Seth

<v Speaker 1>Rollins final ROH match against Roddy today Weird Heel versus

<v Speaker 1>Heel fifteen minute title match with Terry Funk as the

<v Speaker 1>only babyface. Do you remember it? Barely? Barely? I know

<v Speaker 1>I've seen it, but I just I don't have I

<v Speaker 1>don't have much of a memory when it comes to it.

<v Speaker 1>He was a big Henry O. Godwin mark in two

<v Speaker 1>thousand and one. I doubt that Mike ten dollars Super

<v Speaker 1>Chad instead of Title versus Hair. I thought for sure

<v Speaker 1>Darby was going to tell Max that he'll give him

<v Speaker 1>a title shot if he lifts the stipulation that Hangman

<v Speaker 1>can never go for the world time. That's what I thought.

<v Speaker 1>I said, either a career match or he forces him

<v Speaker 1>to lift the Hangman step and then they went the

<v Speaker 1>hair route. I mean, hair matches in wrestling have done

<v Speaker 1>well before, but it's like, eh, okay, Skywalker. Can you

<v Speaker 1>look at the camera and say at Backlash, didn't I

<v Speaker 1>do this the other day? At Backlash? There you go? EJ. Slim.

<v Speaker 1>Would Savio Vega getting inducted by Damian Priest or Bad

<v Speaker 1>Bunny then embraced by the BSk after his speech be

<v Speaker 1>a cool Hall of Fame moment? Sure, Savio. I mean,

<v Speaker 1>Sabio has been in the business decades, very influential figure

<v Speaker 1>even to this day, still very involved in the wrestling business,

<v Speaker 1>and he had that run in WWE in the mid nineties.

<v Speaker 1>So sure, just for that alone, let alone all the

<v Speaker 1>other stuff he's done, you can absolutely argue that he

<v Speaker 1>would be a worthy Hall of Fame in day doctor

<v Speaker 1>or inductee. Definitely make that argument. Mike says, I heard

<v Speaker 1>a rumor today that if Eddie Guerrera would not have

<v Speaker 1>died in November of five, he would have faced Sean

<v Speaker 1>Michaels or WrestleMania twenty two. Yeah. I mean, that's a

<v Speaker 1>rumor that was started many years ago, and people that

<v Speaker 1>were on the writing team back then have come out

<v Speaker 1>and said that that was not ever anything that was

<v Speaker 1>written down as even like a tentative plan. It might

<v Speaker 1>have been something that someone discussed at some point, but

<v Speaker 1>it was never an actual plan. It makes for a

<v Speaker 1>nice story, and it would have been a hell of

<v Speaker 1>a match even if Eddie was already past his physical

<v Speaker 1>prime at that point, just like health wise, but I mean,

<v Speaker 1>it still would have been a hell of a match.

<v Speaker 1>But no, that was never like the plan for WrestleMania.

<v Speaker 1>I could see where people might think that though, because

<v Speaker 1>the match would Vince. It was almost like, you know,

<v Speaker 1>what I can tell you. What I can tell you

<v Speaker 1>is that what they tried to do, they tried to

<v Speaker 1>get Brett Hart to do Brett and Sean at WrestleMania,

<v Speaker 1>and they didn't get Brett to do a match. They

<v Speaker 1>had Brett. They brought Brett back to do the Hall

<v Speaker 1>of Fame in six. They wanted him against Sewn Michaels

<v Speaker 1>of WrestleMania, So him against Vince was like the fallback

<v Speaker 1>to what would have been him and Brett if Brett

<v Speaker 1>wanted to do it or physically felt like he could.

<v Speaker 1>I'm not even sure physically if Brett was in a

<v Speaker 1>position to do a match at that point. It was

<v Speaker 1>a few more years before he got back in the ring.

<v Speaker 1>But that is legit. Isaac says, better finale, breaking bad

<v Speaker 1>or better call Saul? I thought I enjoyed both very much,

<v Speaker 1>and they both had very good endings. But I gotta

<v Speaker 1>go breaking bed. It's got to be breaking bed, EJ slimt. Tonight,

<v Speaker 1>the Mets lost an ABS challenge Brett Baty never called for. Meanwhile,

<v Speaker 1>the White Sox won four straight thanks to Murakami. Hope

<v Speaker 1>you enjoy Robert, but they won tonight? Right? Didn't the

<v Speaker 1>Mets win tonight? That's all that matters, Barry MK. How

<v Speaker 1>was Charlie able to say she's formally known as Dakota Kai?

<v Speaker 1>Doesn't wwe own the Dakota name. Yes, but she wasn't

<v Speaker 1>billed as Dakota Kai. She was advertised as Charlie. You

<v Speaker 1>can say that somebody is formally known as that's fine.

<v Speaker 1>Dried Chicken says, a heel speedball Mike Bailey would be

<v Speaker 1>so cheesy and cartoon Well, I mean, how is that

<v Speaker 1>any different than baby Face speedball Mike Bailey? And Jeremy

<v Speaker 1>Rose says, let's just say MJF loses his hair, does

<v Speaker 1>he wear a mask, I'll see him punk when he

<v Speaker 1>got his head shaved. I would rather he just wears

<v Speaker 1>like headgear and a wig like Kurt Angle did when

<v Speaker 1>he got shaved bald by Edge. But I really don't

<v Speaker 1>see him getting his head shaved spend a lot of

<v Speaker 1>money on that new hair. I would draw the line

<v Speaker 1>if I were him, I would tell Tony, look, I'll

<v Speaker 1>do anything for you, and I know you're paying me

<v Speaker 1>a lot of money here, but there's just certain lines

<v Speaker 1>I won't cross. All right, good Mets beat the Tigers

<v Speaker 1>three to two. We'll take our little victories where we

<v Speaker 1>can get them anyway. The wheel said three point fifty

<v Speaker 1>was the like skull for tonight, and we are currently

<v Speaker 1>sitting at four. We beat it by one hundred. It's

<v Speaker 1>still going up. You guys did that, so thank you.

<v Speaker 1>Let's go ahead and be the booker. Ladies and gentlemen.

<v Speaker 1>It is now time to be the booker. MJF will

<v Speaker 1>wear a to pay. Tell you what, if he loses

<v Speaker 1>that match, it'll be hell to pay anyway. Be the booker. Time.

<v Speaker 1>We got one round coming our way tonight, to try

<v Speaker 1>to make it a good one. Start out with some

<v Speaker 1>tag team Action. We got Johnny Grunge fly Boy rock

<v Speaker 1>O'rock Public Enemy, believe the second time in the last

<v Speaker 1>week or so that we've had Public Enemy in our

<v Speaker 1>tag team match. So they're bringing the table down to

<v Speaker 1>the ring to take on choose two single stars to

<v Speaker 1>form a makeshift team. Anyway, you're already tired of Public Enemy.

<v Speaker 1>Well there's a fickle crowd here. There's only the second

<v Speaker 1>match they've had. People are already sick and tired of

<v Speaker 1>seeing them. But now we get to pick two single stars.

<v Speaker 1>This could be anything. This team could end up being anything.

<v Speaker 1>You have no idea what we can land on here.

<v Speaker 1>That's what makes it so interesting. The Rock, this is

<v Speaker 1>the Rock. This is from the early SmackDown days, that

<v Speaker 1>was his show. And The Rock needs a tag team partner.

<v Speaker 1>Shake the Snake, Roberts and the Rock against Public Enemy

<v Speaker 1>sounds like a barn burner to me. Man, imagine those

<v Speaker 1>like joint promo. Remember like in the early nineties, mid nineties,

<v Speaker 1>late eighties in WWF, they would cut backstage. You had

<v Speaker 1>that one static camera shot and whatever the backdrop was,

<v Speaker 1>and then they would just cut promos in character and

<v Speaker 1>sometimes they would even maybe do like the slow zoom

<v Speaker 1>in on the person. Other times you'd have Mean Jean

<v Speaker 1>or Sean Mooney back there holding a mic. And you

<v Speaker 1>know how those eighties promos could be. Now, imagine the

<v Speaker 1>Rock and Jake the Snake cutting a joint promo together.

<v Speaker 1>Holy shit, now that would be something. Women's be the

<v Speaker 1>booker we have. Well, Tony may not want to make

<v Speaker 1>it happened, but we're gonna make it happen right here,

<v Speaker 1>Mercedes Monete, I'm starting to get the impression that she

<v Speaker 1>may never be back. Mercedes Monette returns here in Sola

<v Speaker 1>Monster Championship Wrestling to take on Bull Nicano. Now you

<v Speaker 1>know for a fact, Mercedes would kill for a match

<v Speaker 1>with Bull Nicano, especially prime Bull Nakano's That's I mean,

<v Speaker 1>that's right in her wheelhouse. That's exactly what Mercedes would

<v Speaker 1>love to get. We made it happen here, Mercedes Monet

<v Speaker 1>and bul Nicana. Who are you going with in that match?

<v Speaker 1>Who are you picking a win in that match? I

<v Speaker 1>like where we're going with this. We got to really

<v Speaker 1>end on a strong note here because we've had a

<v Speaker 1>hell of a card so far. But we're not done yet. Oh,

<v Speaker 1>We're on the right track. Kurt Angle is in our

<v Speaker 1>main event to it. I mean, this can't go wrong.

<v Speaker 1>This is basically bulletproof at this point. Get ready for

<v Speaker 1>the sweep. Kurd Angle can make anything work. Kurt Angle

<v Speaker 1>against Stone Cold Steve Austin, and in fact the two

<v Speaker 1>of them actually had some really good matches together. I'm

<v Speaker 1>sure this one would be no different. If you wanted

<v Speaker 1>to show the Attitude era in one image, there it is.

<v Speaker 1>That's it. Just put this picture up on the screen.

<v Speaker 1>There it is. That's the Attitude era. Got that Scratch

<v Speaker 1>logo in the background, and then you got Stone Cold

<v Speaker 1>with the vest doing the pose. That's it. That's the

<v Speaker 1>Attitude era right there. The Golden Era image is Hogan

<v Speaker 1>ripping the shirt and posing. The Attitude era image is

<v Speaker 1>this right? This? Or him flipping people off? But that's

<v Speaker 1>the Attitude era. What would be the what would be

<v Speaker 1>the defining image for the Ruthless Aggression Era? Would that

<v Speaker 1>be Brock Brock and Hammond with the Undisputed title. If

<v Speaker 1>the WCW invasion was done properly, would you have kept

<v Speaker 1>Undertaker as the biker or would you have reverted him

<v Speaker 1>back to the dead man sooner? Like for a Sting.

<v Speaker 1>I would have reverted him back to the dead Man

<v Speaker 1>for a Sting feud, not necessarily at the beginning of

<v Speaker 1>the invasion, because I wouldn't have given that match away

<v Speaker 1>at the beginning, so I would have kept him as

<v Speaker 1>he was. And then again, if you were able to

<v Speaker 1>get Sting in a lot earlier, I would have built

<v Speaker 1>to that match. And when the time came to do

<v Speaker 1>Sting an undertaker, it had to be dead Man Taker.

<v Speaker 1>Dead Man Taker against Crowsting. But you build to it

<v Speaker 1>and dry Chicken says Curd angle against Stone Cold Steve

<v Speaker 1>Austin with Solo Monster and JD doing commentary with Stone

<v Speaker 1>Cold beer cans on the desk. Yeah, we do have

<v Speaker 1>a House of Glory show coming up back in New

<v Speaker 1>York on not this coming Friday, but the following Friday,

<v Speaker 1>May twenty second. We got the Heartys on the card,
