<v Speaker 1>It is another Wednesday night, it is time to talk
<v Speaker 1>AEW Dynamite. A very different Dynamite show than the one
<v Speaker 1>we had last week. Last week really wasn't so much
<v Speaker 1>about the matches or even a lot of storyline stuff.
<v Speaker 1>And was one of the better shows they've done all year,
<v Speaker 1>very emotional show. This week it was full steam ahead
<v Speaker 1>to All Out, which is coming up next weekend. And
<v Speaker 1>we had at the conclusion of the show tonight, one
<v Speaker 1>of many... multi-man tag team matches on this show. Tony
<v Speaker 1>Khan was back to multi-man madness on this show. We
<v Speaker 1>opened with one. We had another one in the middle.
<v Speaker 1>And then we had the main event to try to
<v Speaker 1>fit as many people on this show as humanly possible.
<v Speaker 1>But we had Will Ospreay on one side. We had
<v Speaker 1>Jon Moxley on the other. And when it was over,
<v Speaker 1>it was Jon Moxley beating up someone who was very
<v Speaker 1>near and dear to Will Ospreay, one of his fellow
<v Speaker 1>United Empire members. Francesco Akira, someone who has not really
<v Speaker 1>been all that established on AEW programming. We've seen him
<v Speaker 1>make appearances, but I wouldn't say he's someone that the
<v Speaker 1>fans are terribly in tune with unless they follow his
<v Speaker 1>work in New Japan Pro Wrestling. So probably would have
<v Speaker 1>worked a little bit better if they were to have
<v Speaker 1>beaten up somebody that the people were more invested in
<v Speaker 1>than they were Francesco Akira. But we know that Akira
<v Speaker 1>is close to Will Ospreay. They tried to break the
<v Speaker 1>man's neck the way the Death Riders did to Ospreay
<v Speaker 1>last year. And Ospreay was able to make the save.
<v Speaker 1>So they tried to put a little personal spin on
<v Speaker 1>things here. Those two were going to be wrestling for
<v Speaker 1>the AEW World Championship in Chicago in the main event.
<v Speaker 1>Not this coming weekend, but the following weekend. And it
<v Speaker 1>punctuated what was, on the whole, a solid episode of Dynamite.
<v Speaker 1>We had some good or solid in-ring action in some cases.
<v Speaker 1>Nothing blow away. There was some weird stuff. So it
<v Speaker 1>was a little bit of a mixed bag, but on
<v Speaker 1>the whole, it was a solid episode. I know one
<v Speaker 1>of our own in the chat right now, Maze, is
<v Speaker 1>with us. Maze, I believe, was at the show tonight.
<v Speaker 1>They were in Virginia. And I think Maze said he
<v Speaker 1>had fun. So when you go to the shows live,
<v Speaker 1>it's always fun. Especially if, and I don't know if
<v Speaker 1>Maze has been there before, but if you've not been
<v Speaker 1>to a show before, it's always going to be a
<v Speaker 1>good time. More so than it will be watching it
<v Speaker 1>at home on TV. We had a match tonight between
<v Speaker 1>Chris Jericho and Nick Wayne. Chris Jericho is 55 years old.
<v Speaker 1>Nick Wayne is 21 years old. It's a pretty big
<v Speaker 1>age gap between the two of them. And I'll give
<v Speaker 1>you one guess as to how that match went tonight.
<v Speaker 1>It's not even so much how the match went, which
<v Speaker 1>I figured it was going to probably go that way,
<v Speaker 1>but it was the goofy way in which the match
<v Speaker 1>ended that we need to talk about. This was so
<v Speaker 1>fucking stupid. This was so silly. What's not silly and
<v Speaker 1>what I actually am very stoked for is there was
<v Speaker 1>a new match added to the All Out card tonight.
<v Speaker 1>And it will be for the AEW International Championship. Kazuchika
<v Speaker 1>Okada will be defending his title on that show against
<v Speaker 1>someone that I don't believe he's ever wrestled before. Tommaso Ciampa.
<v Speaker 1>So we're going to get the Rainmaker and the Psycho
<v Speaker 1>Killer at All Out. That's going to be a good one.
<v Speaker 1>That's a match I'm looking forward to. Unfortunately, someone who
<v Speaker 1>we will not be seeing on the all-out card, it
<v Speaker 1>was confirmed tonight, is the AEW Women's World Champion Mercedes Monet,
<v Speaker 1>who is still nursing a broken nose. She is not
<v Speaker 1>medically cleared, so she will not be wrestling next Saturday.
<v Speaker 1>I almost pulled an Excalibur there and said next Sunday.
<v Speaker 1>She will not be wrestling next Saturday. However, she will
<v Speaker 1>be defending her championship at the next pay-per-view, which is WrestleDream,
<v Speaker 1>which is coming up on October 17th. And the woman
<v Speaker 1>that she will be defending the Women's Championship against, it's
<v Speaker 1>one of two names. It will either be Willow Nightingale
<v Speaker 1>or it will be Tekla. Or it could be both,
<v Speaker 1>maybe if we end up with no winner because the
<v Speaker 1>two of them are going to have a number one
<v Speaker 1>contenders match next weekend at All Out. So that is
<v Speaker 1>how we are going to figure out who the new
<v Speaker 1>number one contender is going to be. Which is too bad.
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I assume that if Mercedes was cleared, we
<v Speaker 1>probably were going to get a three-way. I would assume.
<v Speaker 1>Everything seemed to be gearing towards a three-way match. And
<v Speaker 1>another name on their way back to AEW. Samoa Joe.
<v Speaker 1>Samoa Joe got called out tonight by someone. And I
<v Speaker 1>presume this will be another match added to the all-out card.
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if they actually specified that. But he
<v Speaker 1>is on his way back very soon. Yeah, XO says
<v Speaker 1>it's ironic that Willow is cleared. even though I think
<v Speaker 1>her hand has to still be broken. She probably still
<v Speaker 1>has a broken hand, and she's cleared to wrestle. Mercedes
<v Speaker 1>is not. Maybe not. Maybe it was a minor break,
<v Speaker 1>and maybe Willow's hand is no longer broken the way
<v Speaker 1>it was before. I don't know. But anyway, yeah, Samoa
<v Speaker 1>Joe is on his way back, which probably means, I
<v Speaker 1>assume that means, that twisted metal filming for the new
<v Speaker 1>season is now done. So it'll be good to get
<v Speaker 1>Joe back. I mentioned All Out, right? All Out is
<v Speaker 1>not this coming Saturday, but the following Saturday, All Out
<v Speaker 1>is all out of tickets. They are completely sold out.
<v Speaker 1>And they mentioned that on the television show tonight, which
<v Speaker 1>if they were looking to put more tickets on sale
<v Speaker 1>in the next few days, you would think that they
<v Speaker 1>would have said that. They were very clear and they
<v Speaker 1>put it on screen. It said sold out. They said
<v Speaker 1>the only way that you can participate in the show,
<v Speaker 1>that you can enjoy the show if you don't have
<v Speaker 1>a ticket, is to order it on pay-per-view or HBO Max.
<v Speaker 1>They said nothing about opening up new sections or anything.
<v Speaker 1>May well be that the configuration is legitimately sold out.
<v Speaker 1>They have over 91 tickets out for that show. And
<v Speaker 1>that is going to be running opposite Worlds Collide, which
<v Speaker 1>WWE is hosting also in Chicago. And we know why
<v Speaker 1>they decided to pick that date and pick that city
<v Speaker 1>to run that show. Whatever their plan was, It did
<v Speaker 1>not work. I can't say it backfired because they have
<v Speaker 1>over 10,000 tickets, maybe 11,000 by now, which is no
<v Speaker 1>small number. And come showtime, they may have 11,000 or 12,000
<v Speaker 1>tickets sold. So you're going to have north of 20,000
<v Speaker 1>wrestling fans between those two shows alone within a few
<v Speaker 1>miles of each other enjoying wrestling next weekend, and that's good. However,
<v Speaker 1>their mission, which was to stifle ticket sales for the
<v Speaker 1>AEW show... It did not work. And now we come
<v Speaker 1>to find out that Worlds Collide may not even be
<v Speaker 1>readily accessible for the general public on that night because
<v Speaker 1>it may not actually be airing live anywhere. Now, PW
<v Speaker 1>Insider had a report about this today and Fightful had
<v Speaker 1>a report about this today. And we'll have to just
<v Speaker 1>wait and see if that changes in the days ahead,
<v Speaker 1>whether they end up throwing it on YouTube. But it
<v Speaker 1>sounds like that's not going to be the case. As
<v Speaker 1>of this moment, there are no live broadcast plans for
<v Speaker 1>Worlds Collide. Now, the matches that have been rumored for
<v Speaker 1>Worlds Collide, I think the arena website, I believe the
<v Speaker 1>Allstate arena website, spoiled the lineup, and they put at
<v Speaker 1>least a portion of the matches were listed. Because I'm
<v Speaker 1>very curious what CM Punk, for example, is going to
<v Speaker 1>be doing on that show. It is Chicago. They've advertised
<v Speaker 1>him for the show. And right now on the arena website,
<v Speaker 1>they have him listed for a six-man tag. I believe
<v Speaker 1>it's Punk, Rey Mysterio, and El Grande Americano are going
<v Speaker 1>to be wrestling Dominic Mysterio. What is it? Dominic Mysterio, Omos,
<v Speaker 1>and I forget who the other person is. It's very lame.
<v Speaker 1>It's very lame. Although there is a Dragon Lee match
<v Speaker 1>on there that actually, I think against Jack Cartwell, that
<v Speaker 1>looks pretty cool. but not exactly a blow-away card. Like,
<v Speaker 1>I know what I'll be watching and likely streaming for
<v Speaker 1>that night, and it won't be Worlds Collide. But it
<v Speaker 1>won't be Worlds Collide anyway, because there's also people speculating,
<v Speaker 1>and that's all it is right now, is just speculation
<v Speaker 1>that perhaps the reason that Worlds Collide may not be
<v Speaker 1>airing anywhere is because they're saving it as an exclusive
<v Speaker 1>for Club WWE members. Now, Correct me if I'm wrong.
<v Speaker 1>I believe a Club WWE membership is, what is it,
<v Speaker 1>like $ 100 a year, I think. Something like that. And
<v Speaker 1>if you want to see the full match between Stephanie
<v Speaker 1>Vicar and Liv Morgan for the Women's World Championship that aired,
<v Speaker 1>didn't air, but that took place in Chile this past weekend,
<v Speaker 1>they're putting the full match up there for Club WWE
<v Speaker 1>members as an exclusive. I could totally see them offering
<v Speaker 1>Worlds Collide as a Club WWE exclusive to try to
<v Speaker 1>drum up new subscriptions and new memberships. So if it
<v Speaker 1>does air anywhere, that would likely be the place where
<v Speaker 1>it would air. And you know what? That's fine. It
<v Speaker 1>looks like it's a house show. It's a glorified house show.
<v Speaker 1>And it tells you, again, when they conceived of this event,
<v Speaker 1>because they've done Worlds Collide events before that have aired
<v Speaker 1>as like PLEs. And this one, it appears, is not
<v Speaker 1>going to be the case. They're going to use it
<v Speaker 1>as some sort of crash test dummy, I guess, for
<v Speaker 1>this Club WWE service. it's very clear why this event
<v Speaker 1>is even taking place at all. But that was the
<v Speaker 1>update that we got today. But this is all for, again,
<v Speaker 1>not this coming weekend, but the following weekend, so we
<v Speaker 1>still have some time. There is one more Dynamite yet
<v Speaker 1>to come before we get to All Out, but tonight
<v Speaker 1>we're talking about this one. This is your AEW Dynamite review.
<v Speaker 1>It is Wednesday, September 16th, 2026. I am the Solid Monster.
<v Speaker 1>You are you. And I thank you for being here
<v Speaker 1>with me tonight. Please do me a favor, like and subscribe.
<v Speaker 1>Super Chats are open. We have a little goal going
<v Speaker 1>on in the live chat. and we are going to
<v Speaker 1>spin the wheel as we do each and every week
<v Speaker 1>here on the stream to see what the likes goal
<v Speaker 1>is going to be tonight. I've made a bunch of
<v Speaker 1>updates to Be The Booker. I've refreshed it. I've added.
<v Speaker 1>I've taken away. Stipulations, men, women, tag teams, all of it.
<v Speaker 1>You'll be seeing some new entries in the weeks ahead.
<v Speaker 1>But I don't believe tonight will be one of those nights.
<v Speaker 1>Because we have a very lofty goal. We have a
<v Speaker 1>goal of 600 likes. And at the moment, we don't
<v Speaker 1>even have that many people. We don't even have that
<v Speaker 1>number of people yet here. So it is an impossible
<v Speaker 1>goal to meet. We'll see as the stream wears on
<v Speaker 1>if that changes. But yes, that is not looking good.
<v Speaker 1>Although we do have the bonus goal. So never say never.
<v Speaker 1>But you may have to wait until Friday to see
<v Speaker 1>some of these Be The Booker changes that have been made.
<v Speaker 1>Steep goal, yes. Yes, Boss Toys. Steep goal indeed. At
<v Speaker 1>the moment, it is mathematically impossible. You can Steiner math
<v Speaker 1>that shit all you want to. It is mathematically impossible
<v Speaker 1>at the moment. Rene Paquette. was backstage. It is impossible
<v Speaker 1>to watch an episode of AW Dynamite, mathematically impossible to
<v Speaker 1>watch an episode of Dynamite and not have a minimum
<v Speaker 1>of five or six appearances by Renee. She was in
<v Speaker 1>the back with Darby Allen, Stephen Borden, and Adam Copeland,
<v Speaker 1>who says Darby has had his back since day one
<v Speaker 1>that he came into this company, and he wants Borden
<v Speaker 1>to keep things going because he has impressed him so far.
<v Speaker 1>He impressed him last week. So Christian Cage comes walking in.
<v Speaker 1>He looks at Borden. I'm like, uh-oh. Here it comes.
<v Speaker 1>He says to Borden, I'm sorry for the loss of
<v Speaker 1>your father's in-ring career. Had a little pause there. So
<v Speaker 1>this led to an argument between Darby and Christian over
<v Speaker 1>some unfinished business that they have from the past. Christian
<v Speaker 1>tells him that he wore the TNT championship better than
<v Speaker 1>Darby does. Copeland intervened here. He said, look, are we
<v Speaker 1>all good? Are we on the same page here tonight?
<v Speaker 1>It would appear so. Elsewhere in the back, Stokely Hathaway
<v Speaker 1>was with FTR, Kyle Fletcher, Kevin Knight, and Don Callis.
<v Speaker 1>And he guarantees that FTR is going to walk out
<v Speaker 1>tag team champions in that three-way ladder match at All Out.
<v Speaker 1>Knight and Fletcher, they brought up teaming or beating the
<v Speaker 1>Young Bucks last week, and Don Callis suggested that maybe
<v Speaker 1>they should be in the ladder match. And Stokely said
<v Speaker 1>that we could talk about that later. But that did
<v Speaker 1>lead into the opening contest, which was Cope and Christian
<v Speaker 1>teaming up with Darby Allin and Sting Jr. to take
<v Speaker 1>on FTR, Kyle Fletcher, and Kevin Knight. Stokely Hathaway joined
<v Speaker 1>on commentary for this match. And if you're Excalibur and
<v Speaker 1>Tony Schiavone, I'll bet Don Callis doesn't sound too bad
<v Speaker 1>right about now. The first thing Stokely did was he
<v Speaker 1>started healing on Tony Schiavone as soon as he got
<v Speaker 1>on commentary. So Borden, and this has been the case
<v Speaker 1>the last few weeks with Sting's son. He went on
<v Speaker 1>a nice little run here. He threw some drop kicks.
<v Speaker 1>He had Dax down. He went up to the top.
<v Speaker 1>He got cut off, though, by Cash Wheeler. And they
<v Speaker 1>ended up doing their Power Plex combo. I love that
<v Speaker 1>fucking move. Power and glory, baby. They deserved a better
<v Speaker 1>run in the WWF than the one they got. They
<v Speaker 1>should have been tag team champions at some point. Had
<v Speaker 1>they hung around longer, perhaps they would have gotten at
<v Speaker 1>least a short run, maybe a transitional run as the
<v Speaker 1>tag team champions. But they always had a badass finish.
<v Speaker 1>I love that finish. Didn't work here, though. But they
<v Speaker 1>did hit it on Sting Jr. Fletcher followed up with
<v Speaker 1>a splash off the top. Kevin Knight hit the UFO splash.
<v Speaker 1>So the heels had him beat, and his partners were
<v Speaker 1>able to get in the ring and break up the pins.
<v Speaker 1>So Harwood ended up alone in the ring with Borden,
<v Speaker 1>and he wanted to give him the scorpion death lock.
<v Speaker 1>Borden was able to kick his way free. Christian hit
<v Speaker 1>Harwood in the head with a chair from the floor.
<v Speaker 1>Harwood was in the ropes. The referee didn't see this
<v Speaker 1>because the referee was distracted, as wrestling referees do tend
<v Speaker 1>to be. Darby and Borden, they set up for their
<v Speaker 1>double team finish. Fletcher stopped Darby, though, while he was
<v Speaker 1>on the ropes. Christian took Fletcher out. And then he
<v Speaker 1>took Wheeler out on the floor with a kill switch.
<v Speaker 1>And then Darby got back up. He's on top. He
<v Speaker 1>comes off with the coffin drop. Into the coffin death drop.
<v Speaker 1>It's actually a very cool finish. Didn't hit it quite
<v Speaker 1>as flush as they did last week. But I do
<v Speaker 1>like that tag team finish. And Borden was able to
<v Speaker 1>pick up the win. So they gave these guys about
<v Speaker 1>15 minutes. And... As was the case last week, it
<v Speaker 1>was really a showcase for Sting's son more than anything else.
<v Speaker 1>And so far, they have kept him fairly... I don't
<v Speaker 1>want to make it sound like he tags in, does
<v Speaker 1>two things, and tags out. But what they have done
<v Speaker 1>is put him in a position where it doesn't all
<v Speaker 1>just have to be on him. He's in there with Darby.
<v Speaker 1>Or he's in there with Darby and multiple other people.
<v Speaker 1>There's a bunch of people involved. And it allows him
<v Speaker 1>to go in there and show off his athleticism. And
<v Speaker 1>he gets to sell a little bit, and he gets
<v Speaker 1>to make a comeback. And everything he's done so far
<v Speaker 1>has looked very crisp. It's looked good. Again, you can
<v Speaker 1>tell he's very inexperienced, but it's not like he's tripping
<v Speaker 1>over his feet in there. Or he's botching left and right,
<v Speaker 1>or he looks lost. You know, like he doesn't know
<v Speaker 1>what to do. He looks very comfortable. He looks at
<v Speaker 1>home in the ring. And again, this is somebody who
<v Speaker 1>is coming from, say, a wrestling family. I mean, his
<v Speaker 1>father wrestled. It's not like his mother wrestled and his
<v Speaker 1>grandfather wrestled. But wrestling is in his blood. It's in
<v Speaker 1>his family. And he's getting into it a little bit
<v Speaker 1>later than most people do. He's not that old. But
<v Speaker 1>he certainly looks the part. And he's coming out there
<v Speaker 1>every week. He's in the back in the leather jacket
<v Speaker 1>looking like the fucking Fonz. But he looks the part.
<v Speaker 1>So far, so good. They're keeping him somewhat limited, but
<v Speaker 1>they're giving him television exposure. And I think that they
<v Speaker 1>think that he could really grow into something special. And
<v Speaker 1>they may be right. With him, it's just going to
<v Speaker 1>be a matter of getting continuous reps and getting that experience.
<v Speaker 1>They don't have a developmental system. They have Ring of Honor.
<v Speaker 1>If they wanted to send him there at some point,
<v Speaker 1>he could continue working independent dates. And they don't do
<v Speaker 1>house shows in AEW. So the way that he's going
<v Speaker 1>to get experience is in matches like this. It's going
<v Speaker 1>to be on television because... Outside of the Indies, I mean,
<v Speaker 1>how else is he going to get that experience? So
<v Speaker 1>it's going to take some time, but so far, so good.
<v Speaker 1>So we go backstage, and we got the Death Riders.
<v Speaker 1>And Jon Moxley said, it's a bold and unpredictable move. Unexpected,
<v Speaker 1>I think is the word that he used. That Will
<v Speaker 1>Ospreay challenged him to a match at All Out. It's
<v Speaker 1>incredible what Ospreay has overcome over the past year. No
<v Speaker 1>one understands what road He has traveled and what that
<v Speaker 1>road has been like more than Moxley. Moxley said he's
<v Speaker 1>hard on himself and others because it's a hard job
<v Speaker 1>that they have. He said that after their time together,
<v Speaker 1>he hopes Ospreay has learned that any belt around someone's waist,
<v Speaker 1>that doesn't make them the best. Says what Ospreay did
<v Speaker 1>at Wembley Stadium was amazing. It's going to inspire kids
<v Speaker 1>for years to come. And he said that he never
<v Speaker 1>wanted Ospreay to follow him. He wanted Ospreay to lead.
<v Speaker 1>Said it's heading forward. to where it was always bound
<v Speaker 1>to head between them. Moxley said that when Osprey looks
<v Speaker 1>across the ring and sees him at all out, he
<v Speaker 1>should know that whatever happens, it's on Osprey. It's Osprey's responsibility,
<v Speaker 1>he says. So Moxley said that Pack and Kidd, I mean,
<v Speaker 1>these two guys, they think that we should just tune
<v Speaker 1>you up in the parking lot tonight. And Kidd said,
<v Speaker 1>that's exactly what I'm talking about. Why wait for the pay-per-view?
<v Speaker 1>Because again, Gabe Kidd was there with them and Why
<v Speaker 1>wait for the pay-per-view? He said, Osprey's neck is already weakened.
<v Speaker 1>Let's cut him up into little pieces tonight. So Pack
<v Speaker 1>said that there's a line between the Death Riders and
<v Speaker 1>the United Empire. And then he turned to Moxley. He
<v Speaker 1>looked at Moxley with a glare, like a death stare,
<v Speaker 1>and he said, they won't let Osprey off the hook.
<v Speaker 1>Not the first time in recent weeks that Pack has
<v Speaker 1>looked to Moxley in a way that He believes that
<v Speaker 1>Moxley has made a lot of mistakes. He made a
<v Speaker 1>mistake bringing Osprey into the Death Riders in the first place.
<v Speaker 1>He was not a fan of that, right? And he's
<v Speaker 1>giving him the stink eye, and he's letting him know. Now,
<v Speaker 1>I've long since given up believing that anything like this
<v Speaker 1>is like a seed being planted to an upcoming split
<v Speaker 1>within the Death Riders, or that Moxley is going to
<v Speaker 1>break away or be kicked out of the Death Riders,
<v Speaker 1>because I thought that a year ago, and it didn't happen.
<v Speaker 1>And I think Moxley wants to continue doing the Death Riders.
<v Speaker 1>I think Tony Khan loves the Death Riders. Maybe almost
<v Speaker 1>as much, but not quite, as Paul Levesque loves the Bloodline.
<v Speaker 1>So I'm not expecting anything from this. It's just something
<v Speaker 1>I've noticed, but I'm not making any sort of predictions
<v Speaker 1>about it because at this rate, they may keep these
<v Speaker 1>guys together forever. Who the hell knows? We had Chris Jericho.
<v Speaker 1>Speaking of forever. 55 years old. Chris Jericho. Still out
<v Speaker 1>there doing it. He went one-on-one tonight with 21-year-old prodigy
<v Speaker 1>Nick Wayne. It's a taz on commentary. He... Remember Jericho
<v Speaker 1>mocking Nick's puka shell necklace that he was wearing when
<v Speaker 1>they ran into each other on the show backstage last week.
<v Speaker 1>And then on Collision, there was a promo backstage from
<v Speaker 1>Nick Wayne where he explained what the necklace meant to him.
<v Speaker 1>And the reason it meant something to him is because
<v Speaker 1>he's worn that necklace. He's taken it with him all
<v Speaker 1>over the world. It's like a world-traveled necklace necklace. And
<v Speaker 1>I thought he was going to say that it was
<v Speaker 1>a gift from his late father. There was some sentimental
<v Speaker 1>value to it. But he's like, no, you know, I've
<v Speaker 1>worn this necklace all over the world. And I'm like,
<v Speaker 1>now that I've seen the match and what they did,
<v Speaker 1>that's pretty fucking lame. When you look at what they
<v Speaker 1>did here at the end of this match, that being
<v Speaker 1>the explanation for this was fucking stupid. And it was stupid,
<v Speaker 1>but it was otherwise, I thought, a solid match. I mean,
<v Speaker 1>there were a few things in the first half where
<v Speaker 1>it was like, eh. But I thought it turned into
<v Speaker 1>a solid match here between these two. So Wayne's thing is,
<v Speaker 1>you know, he's a cocky, arrogant little SOB. And coming
<v Speaker 1>into this match, and even at the beginning of the match,
<v Speaker 1>in the ring, you know, he's talking shit to Jericho.
<v Speaker 1>His thing is, show me something, Chris. Show me something.
<v Speaker 1>So then he spat at Jericho early in the match.
<v Speaker 1>Jericho then chopped the shit out of him. Late in
<v Speaker 1>the match, they were fighting from their knees, and as
<v Speaker 1>they were slowly rising up, Jericho ripped off the necklace
<v Speaker 1>from around Nick's neck. And Nick sold this like someone
<v Speaker 1>had just insulted his ancestors. Like, he was so offended
<v Speaker 1>and mortified by this. He picked up the necklace off
<v Speaker 1>the mat. He got very angry. He took a swing
<v Speaker 1>at Jericho, who ducked. And then Nick got behind Jericho,
<v Speaker 1>who rolled him onto his back, and then basically Jericho
<v Speaker 1>just sat down on top of him and had his
<v Speaker 1>legs crossed or hooked or whatever, and Nick couldn't do
<v Speaker 1>anything about it. And he got the flash pin, and
<v Speaker 1>Jericho pins Nick Wayne. And after the match was over, Wayne,
<v Speaker 1>he's sitting there on the mat. He looked like he
<v Speaker 1>was about ready to cry. He was so upset. He
<v Speaker 1>was so distraught over this necklace. He was more broken
<v Speaker 1>up about that necklace than he was the match that
<v Speaker 1>he just lost. So Jericho motioned for his music to stop,
<v Speaker 1>and he's standing over Nick, and he's looking for a handshake,
<v Speaker 1>and Nick wants no part of this. So Jericho goes
<v Speaker 1>to leave. He's halfway out of the ring. Nick quickly
<v Speaker 1>rushes over, kicks the middle rope up into Jericho's balls,
<v Speaker 1>and Jericho falls back into the ring. Wayne then picks
<v Speaker 1>up the necklace. He wraps it around his fist. He
<v Speaker 1>starts punching away at Jericho's head. So then he went outside,
<v Speaker 1>he grabbed a steel chair, brought it back inside with him,
<v Speaker 1>hit Jericho in the back with it, and then Nick
<v Speaker 1>walked out to Chance of, where's your mom? Yeah, that's
<v Speaker 1>a good question. I'm sure Maze was in the crowd
<v Speaker 1>asking that same question. Where is your mom? Where is
<v Speaker 1>his mom? We have not seen Mother Wayne in quite
<v Speaker 1>some time. I have an entire Super Chat dedicated to
<v Speaker 1>Mother Wayne. We have not seen her on this television
<v Speaker 1>show in many, many months. Maybe she still pops up
<v Speaker 1>in Ring of Honor, I don't know. behind a paywall,
<v Speaker 1>I don't watch it, but we have not seen, I
<v Speaker 1>don't give a shit what's going on on Ring of Honor,
<v Speaker 1>I give a shit what's on the show that I'm
<v Speaker 1>talking about, and I have not seen Mother Wayne on
<v Speaker 1>this show in a very long time. The fans in
<v Speaker 1>Virginia need answers, and so do I. But I will
<v Speaker 1>say this, it was very nice to see a veteran
<v Speaker 1>like Nick Wayne, it was, this put a smile on
<v Speaker 1>my face watching this, it was nice to see a
<v Speaker 1>veteran like Nick Wayne putting over the young up-and-coming rookie
<v Speaker 1>like Jericho, right? It was refreshing. It was such a
<v Speaker 1>refreshing thing to see. It was actually a ridiculous thing
<v Speaker 1>to see. Clearly, though, it is the beginning of, you know,
<v Speaker 1>an extended program between these two. And, you know, you
<v Speaker 1>have to imagine that Wayne is probably going to win
<v Speaker 1>the next match. He already got, you know, some of
<v Speaker 1>his heat back with the post-match angle, and that's all
<v Speaker 1>well and good. The necklace stuff is very goofy. They
<v Speaker 1>need to stop with that. I know this is their
<v Speaker 1>way of coming up with something that they can latch
<v Speaker 1>onto and use here in this feud. It is very,
<v Speaker 1>very weak. We need a better explanation as to why
<v Speaker 1>the necklace is meaningful to him other than, oh, well,
<v Speaker 1>I've taken it with me all over the world. Okay, well,
<v Speaker 1>that's cool. And maybe it has some degree of sentimental
<v Speaker 1>value to you because of that. But he's reacting. Again,
<v Speaker 1>he's reacting to this. You would think Like, his father
<v Speaker 1>passed away a number of years ago. And you would think, like,
<v Speaker 1>maybe on the necklace is like a trinket. And inside, like,
<v Speaker 1>it opens up like a locket or something. And maybe, like,
<v Speaker 1>something that belonged to his father is in there. I
<v Speaker 1>don't know. Maybe a little photo of himself when he
<v Speaker 1>was younger with his dad. And then you could look
<v Speaker 1>at that and go, okay, that's meaningful. Right? I can
<v Speaker 1>understand that. As a human being... And as someone who's
<v Speaker 1>lost parents, I could see that. I could buy into that.
<v Speaker 1>The problem with this is that before we heard from
<v Speaker 1>him in that very quick backstage segment on Collision this
<v Speaker 1>past weekend, other than Jericho mocking him for wearing a necklace,
<v Speaker 1>there was never one fucking word said about a necklace
<v Speaker 1>with Nick Wayne. It just sort of came out of
<v Speaker 1>like nothing. And so now the necklace is so important
<v Speaker 1>to him that when it gets ripped off of his
<v Speaker 1>neck in the middle of this match, he has a meltdown.
<v Speaker 1>And then he loses the match, and he's more upset
<v Speaker 1>about the stupid necklace than he is about the fact
<v Speaker 1>that he just lost the match to Chris Jericho. It's
<v Speaker 1>so forced. It's so, so silly. They have to come
<v Speaker 1>up with a better explanation than the one they gave.
<v Speaker 1>And even if they do, at this point, I'm not
<v Speaker 1>sure it would even matter. But I'm like, really? This
<v Speaker 1>is what we're doing here? We're doing the necklace? They're
<v Speaker 1>trying to make the necklace a thing? Excalibur. at this
<v Speaker 1>point in the show. As I mentioned earlier, he let
<v Speaker 1>us know that Mercedes Monet will not be medically cleared
<v Speaker 1>to wrestle at All Out next weekend because of the
<v Speaker 1>broken nose. However, she will be cleared for WrestleDream on
<v Speaker 1>October 17th. And on that pay-per-view, she will be defending
<v Speaker 1>her women's championship against either Willow Nightingale or Tekla, who
<v Speaker 1>we now know will be wrestling each other on the
<v Speaker 1>26th at All Out in a number one contenders match.
<v Speaker 1>And then we heard comments from both women here Tecla
<v Speaker 1>was mocking Willow and actually mocking both of them, Mercedes
<v Speaker 1>and Willow getting injured. And then she asked if she
<v Speaker 1>was the last real bitch around here. And then she
<v Speaker 1>made fun of Willow for shooting confetti out of her titties.
<v Speaker 1>Does anybody have a video of this? I actually, there
<v Speaker 1>actually is a random super chat that will pop up
<v Speaker 1>every now and then here on these streams where, uh,
<v Speaker 1>Curtis Axel has, uh, Confetti that pops out of his nipples.
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure many of you have seen this before. It
<v Speaker 1>doesn't pop up all the time. Every now and then
<v Speaker 1>it'll pop up. And it never fails to not make
<v Speaker 1>me crack a smile. So I don't know if confetti
<v Speaker 1>popping out of Willow's titties is as entertaining. But again,
<v Speaker 1>that's the first I'm hearing of this. Necklace on a pole, bro.
<v Speaker 1>Alvarez is going off tomorrow on that finish. Well, I
<v Speaker 1>know Brian Alvarez has, you know, he had a long
<v Speaker 1>friendship and relationship with Buddy, Buddy Wayne. Who was Nick's dad.
<v Speaker 1>Did Buddy Wayne train Alvarez? He may have trained Brian Alvarez.
<v Speaker 1>So Alvarez was around Nick when Nick was like, yay high.
<v Speaker 1>So I know he's been following Nick's career from the
<v Speaker 1>very beginning. I'm sure he's, you know, I'm sure he'll
<v Speaker 1>love that finish with all the necklace bullshit. Necklace on
<v Speaker 1>a pole. Don't give them any ideas, though. So Renee
<v Speaker 1>was backstage. I can't get over this whole shooting confetti
<v Speaker 1>out of her titties thing. Renee was backstage with Will Ospreay,
<v Speaker 1>Francesco Akira, and Andrade El Idolo, who were teaming up
<v Speaker 1>in the main event tonight. Ospreay said that things were
<v Speaker 1>looking good for the United Empire, and he brought up
<v Speaker 1>his little brother, Callum Newman. Him running things, holding down
<v Speaker 1>the fort in Japan, even adding new members like Andrade
<v Speaker 1>to the United Empire. And he can't help but notice
<v Speaker 1>the contract that Andrade still has with him for that
<v Speaker 1>guaranteed world championship match. So Ospreay said, look, whenever you're
<v Speaker 1>ready for the match, basically just name the time and place.
<v Speaker 1>And they'll get it done. And he goes, I know
<v Speaker 1>you're looking at my title. I know you want it.
<v Speaker 1>I know you want a shot at it. Andrade asked,
<v Speaker 1>how you know? So then Akira got all like psyched
<v Speaker 1>up and he started like ranting in Italian. And then
<v Speaker 1>all of a sudden he, Osprey said, look, you gotta
<v Speaker 1>say it in English. You gotta translate it. So then
<v Speaker 1>Akira yelled, let's kick this shit out of the Death Riders.
<v Speaker 1>and he left and osprey apologized to everybody and said
<v Speaker 1>that he would pay the fine we had hangman adam
<v Speaker 1>page and brodito or hang dito Taking on the conglomeration,
<v Speaker 1>Orange Cassidy, Roderick Strong, and Kyle O'Reilly, with the winners
<v Speaker 1>advancing to All Out to challenge for the AEW Trios titles,
<v Speaker 1>which may or may not still be held by Swerve
<v Speaker 1>Strickland and The New Level. We won't know until next week,
<v Speaker 1>because on the show next week, Swerve and The New
<v Speaker 1>Level will be defending their titles against Ricochet and the
<v Speaker 1>Gates of Agony, which is great. Because I was worried
<v Speaker 1>they were going to tack them on to the Trios
<v Speaker 1>title match at the pay-per-view, which would actually make it worse.
<v Speaker 1>So they're going to do that match next week. Ricochet
<v Speaker 1>and the Gates will get beat, and they'll be out
<v Speaker 1>of the picture. So that's a good thing. Tony Schiavone
<v Speaker 1>on commentary said, Hangman is from Virginia, which is where
<v Speaker 1>they were tonight. And he's pointed out that he has
<v Speaker 1>never lost a match here in his home state. At
<v Speaker 1>least not in AEW. For all the years that he's
<v Speaker 1>been in AEW, and they've been to Virginia plenty of times,
<v Speaker 1>has never lost a match there before. So everybody got
<v Speaker 1>their shit in here at the end. It broke down.
<v Speaker 1>Roddy shoved Cassidy out of the way. He took the
<v Speaker 1>bullet in the form of a buckshot lariat, and that
<v Speaker 1>put it away for Hangman and his crew. Hangdito. That
<v Speaker 1>sounds so wrong. That's what I call them. They're Hangdito.
<v Speaker 1>You got a better name for them? You want to
<v Speaker 1>call them, you know, Broman? I mean, I think Hangdito
<v Speaker 1>sounds better than Broman, if you want. I mean, I
<v Speaker 1>don't know. What was that ridiculous name that Hangman had
<v Speaker 1>when he was with Kevin Knight and Speedball? Horsecock? They
<v Speaker 1>were calling themselves Horsecock. Okay, believe me, there could be
<v Speaker 1>worse names than Hangdito. So anyway, Hangman and Brody King
<v Speaker 1>and Bandito, they pick up the win. And Excalibur, on commentary,
<v Speaker 1>he wondered, you know, well, will they be challenging Swerve
<v Speaker 1>in the new level for the tag belts? Or maybe
<v Speaker 1>it'll be the demand. And this is also where I
<v Speaker 1>learned that Dynamite next week is going to be part
<v Speaker 1>of a three-hour block. Yes, they are doing it again
<v Speaker 1>next week where we're going to have Dynamite and Collision back-to-back.
<v Speaker 1>So if you want to stick around for all three
<v Speaker 1>of those hours, enjoy. Tommaso Ciampa, he went one-on-one with
<v Speaker 1>Miles Hawkins. You might be asking yourself, who's that? It's
<v Speaker 1>a good question. I don't know. I assume he's a
<v Speaker 1>Virginia boy. Before the match, we got a video, though,
<v Speaker 1>from Tommaso Ciampa calling out Kazuchika Okada for an international
<v Speaker 1>title match at All Out. You know how Ciampa does.
<v Speaker 1>He sits on the apron sometimes, and he'll give himself
<v Speaker 1>the pat on the back. It was me. I'm like, okay.
<v Speaker 1>Give myself a pat. I'll give myself a clap. That's
<v Speaker 1>a match I'm looking forward to right there. Okada and Ciampa.
<v Speaker 1>Give me that match. So in the ring, the bell sounds,
<v Speaker 1>and Hawkins wants Ciampa to wait until he takes his
<v Speaker 1>ring jacket off. You gotta wait, bro. You gotta let
<v Speaker 1>me take my ring jacket off before we can get
<v Speaker 1>started here. And I'll give you one guess as to
<v Speaker 1>what happened next. As soon as the jacket came off, Hawkins,
<v Speaker 1>he took his time, too, taking that thing off. And
<v Speaker 1>then he turns and he gets wrecked with a running
<v Speaker 1>knee strike. And Ciampa pins him and that's it. Thanks
<v Speaker 1>for coming. Thanks for coming. Don't let the door hit
<v Speaker 1>you in the ass on the way out. Tony Schiavone
<v Speaker 1>was in the ring after the break to welcome the
<v Speaker 1>Trios champions out here in Virginia. So out comes Swerve Strickland.
<v Speaker 1>He has Prince Nana with him. Out come the new level.
<v Speaker 1>It was nice, the interview that they did. Kofi and Creed,
<v Speaker 1>they sat down with Rene on the AEW YouTube channel.
<v Speaker 1>And they did a sit-down interview. And it was actually
<v Speaker 1>a very good interview. But in the course of it, Kofi,
<v Speaker 1>he was talking about but then he kind of corrected
<v Speaker 1>himself and said superstars. And then Rene is like, you know,
<v Speaker 1>you don't have to call them superstars anymore. You can
<v Speaker 1>call them wrestlers. And it was like Kofi had this epiphany,
<v Speaker 1>like this eureka moment, like, oh, my God. And Creed
<v Speaker 1>is like, yeah. He goes, I even put, like, professional
<v Speaker 1>wrestler in my bio on social media. Like, this blew
<v Speaker 1>Kofi's mind. He goes, we call them wrestlers now? We
<v Speaker 1>call them pro wrestlers? This is amazing. He's not a
<v Speaker 1>superstar anymore. He's just a lowly wrestler now. So they
<v Speaker 1>come out, but they got attacked. Before they even got
<v Speaker 1>to the ring, they got jumped. They got ambushed by
<v Speaker 1>the demand. Swerve got driven into the ring steps. Inside
<v Speaker 1>the ring, Creed started fighting back on Bishop Khan, but
<v Speaker 1>he got chop-blocked by Toa Leona. And then he got
<v Speaker 1>dropped with a Samoan drop. Kofi tried to make the save.
<v Speaker 1>He got turned inside out, though, by Leona on a lariat.
<v Speaker 1>swerve ended up all alone he's gonna go down swinging
<v Speaker 1>though and ricochet hit him with the spirit gun and
<v Speaker 1>then the gates of agony laid him out with their
<v Speaker 1>open the gates finish so the demand ended up standing
<v Speaker 1>tall they were holding the trio's belts as the segment
<v Speaker 1>came to a close good good let them get their
<v Speaker 1>glory tonight let them have their moment and then they'll
<v Speaker 1>get beat next week and the match i want to
<v Speaker 1>see is just straight three on three hangman Brody King
<v Speaker 1>and Bandito against Swerve Strickland and The New Day. You
<v Speaker 1>don't need to add anybody else to the match. Just
<v Speaker 1>those two teams, that's a hell of a match. That's
<v Speaker 1>a hell of an attraction right there for the pay-per-view.
<v Speaker 1>That's another one I'm looking forward to. This card is incomplete.
<v Speaker 1>We don't even know all the matches yet, but, and
<v Speaker 1>I guess I could say the same thing for Worlds Collide,
<v Speaker 1>but based on what's being reported for Worlds Collide. And
<v Speaker 1>I feel like I'm, you know, Fair game to compare
<v Speaker 1>the two since they're running on the same night. Clearly,
<v Speaker 1>they want it to be competition. So, okay, we'll compare
<v Speaker 1>the two. All Out, man. All Out blows that card
<v Speaker 1>out of the water so far. So, it's going to
<v Speaker 1>be good. It's going to be a good lineup. We
<v Speaker 1>got pre-recorded comments from Jack Perry sitting on the floor
<v Speaker 1>against the wall in a tunnel somewhere. I don't know
<v Speaker 1>where the fuck he was. He was outside some corridor
<v Speaker 1>or tunnel somewhere. He said that he's been on a mission.
<v Speaker 1>You might say he's a man on a mission. To
<v Speaker 1>show that he could hold his own against the best
<v Speaker 1>in AEW. And even though he's gotten his ass kicked
<v Speaker 1>so far, I think he's 0 for 2. What was it,
<v Speaker 1>against Moxley, and then I think against Swerve. Despite this, though,
<v Speaker 1>he said he loved it because he learns something each time,
<v Speaker 1>and he inches his way closer to the impossible dream.
<v Speaker 1>To be the best, he has to beat the best,
<v Speaker 1>so he has to call his shot. And then he...
<v Speaker 1>punched himself in the head a few times, and he
<v Speaker 1>mentioned Samoa Joe. And he said that Joe is feared
<v Speaker 1>and loved, but not by him. He said, Joe has
<v Speaker 1>been gone long enough. It's time for you to come
<v Speaker 1>back and make my day. And the camera showed that
<v Speaker 1>Perry had spray painted the words, or whatever, painted the words,
<v Speaker 1>Joe is going to kill you on the wall behind him.
<v Speaker 1>So I don't know, this is a weird story. I
<v Speaker 1>guess his His mission is to go from one former
<v Speaker 1>AEW world champion to the next and just lose to
<v Speaker 1>all of them. That's effectively what's going on here. He
<v Speaker 1>lost to Moxley, right? That was in the Owen, I believe.
<v Speaker 1>He lost to Swerve. They had that random ass main event.
<v Speaker 1>I think on the last Dynamite it was before Wembley.
<v Speaker 1>And if this is going to be Samoa Joe's comeback match,
<v Speaker 1>I don't know why you would beat him. I presume
<v Speaker 1>Joe would win. But I guess for him it's a
<v Speaker 1>learning experience. Okay. With one half of the AEW Women's
<v Speaker 1>Tag Team Champions, we had Jamie Hayter taking on one
<v Speaker 1>half of the former AEW Women's Tag Team Champions, Lena Cross.
<v Speaker 1>When this match was announced, honestly, of all the matches,
<v Speaker 1>and again, we had multi-man madness on this show, and
<v Speaker 1>I'm just like, I don't really give a shit. It's
<v Speaker 1>just a bunch of fucking six-man tags, eight-man tags. After
<v Speaker 1>a while, it's like, who even cares? But this was
<v Speaker 1>the match when I saw Jamie Hayter and Lena Cross.
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, all right, you know what? I'm looking forward
<v Speaker 1>to that. I want to see what those women can do.
<v Speaker 1>You give them some time. You give them 10 minutes
<v Speaker 1>or 12 minutes, whatever it is. And that could be
<v Speaker 1>a fun match. And they had a good match. Late
<v Speaker 1>in that match, Hayter charged into an air raid crash.
<v Speaker 1>Came back, though, with a Death Valley driver. Both women
<v Speaker 1>were downed. Hader spiked her with a hate breaker. After that,
<v Speaker 1>Megan Bain showed up and she got up on the apron.
<v Speaker 1>She distracted Hader and Aubrey Edwards just long enough for
<v Speaker 1>Lena to pull out a pipe from under the ring.
<v Speaker 1>And she hit Hader in the ribs with it and
<v Speaker 1>then delivered a jackhammer and picked up the win. And
<v Speaker 1>then after what felt like minutes had gone by, Alex
<v Speaker 1>Windsor shows up, her tag team championship partner. She shows up,
<v Speaker 1>and I think Tony Schiavone said that she had a
<v Speaker 1>table leg. I don't know where she was. It was
<v Speaker 1>ridiculous because there was enough time here that went by
<v Speaker 1>to where I was like, okay, maybe she's just not there.
<v Speaker 1>But then she showed up. I'm like, where the hell
<v Speaker 1>was she? It's not a big building that they were
<v Speaker 1>in tonight. Why did it take her so long? to
<v Speaker 1>show up and save her partner I would like to
<v Speaker 1>know this otherwise I mean I enjoyed the match it
<v Speaker 1>was the one lone women's match that we got on
<v Speaker 1>the entire show this week but again it took it
<v Speaker 1>took some time for this woman to come out and
<v Speaker 1>save her partner Again, there were multiple times on this
<v Speaker 1>show where Excalibur said that the pay-per-view was a week
<v Speaker 1>from Sunday. It is not a week from Sunday. It
<v Speaker 1>is a week from Saturday, so don't be confused by that.
<v Speaker 1>We got a video package for Andrade Alidolo with lots
<v Speaker 1>of cool family photos talking about growing up with his
<v Speaker 1>grandfather and his father and his six uncles, all being
<v Speaker 1>pro wrestlers. Four generations of pro wrestlers. His destiny is
<v Speaker 1>to become the AEW world champion. Renee was backstage, and
<v Speaker 1>she was with the international champion, Kazuchika Okada, who asked if,
<v Speaker 1>or she asked him, do you have an answer to
<v Speaker 1>the challenge that was issued earlier tonight by Tommaso Ciampa
<v Speaker 1>to a title match at All Out? And Okada, again,
<v Speaker 1>that big cheesy smile on his face. He's always smiling.
<v Speaker 1>He looks into the camera, and he goes, yes. He goes,
<v Speaker 1>Tommaso Ciampa is a bitch. And then wouldn't you know,
<v Speaker 1>Ciampa comes flying in out of nowhere and attacks Okada,
<v Speaker 1>drove him into an equipment case, very much like the
<v Speaker 1>one his former tag team partner has spent the majority
<v Speaker 1>of this year laying on. And then he screams at
<v Speaker 1>Okada that he wants the psycho killer against the Rainmaker, bitch.
<v Speaker 1>Let's do it. Sign me up. I'm looking forward to
<v Speaker 1>that one. She was pooping. You're talking about Alex Windsor. Okay,
<v Speaker 1>it's possible. When you gotta go, you gotta go. Still though,
<v Speaker 1>you know, your tag team partner is being killed out
<v Speaker 1>in the ring. You gotta drop whatever it is that
<v Speaker 1>you're doing. You gotta get your ass out there and
<v Speaker 1>you gotta save them. Today's episode is sponsored by HIMS.

<v Speaker 1>Main event. AEW world champion Will Ospreay along with the
<v Speaker 1>national champion Andrade El Idolo and Francesco Akira against Jon Moxley,
<v Speaker 1>Pac and Gabe Kidd who all had Daniel Garcia and
<v Speaker 1>Wheeler Yuta in their corner they got a little tease
<v Speaker 1>there at the beginning, Ospreay starting and Moxley was going
<v Speaker 1>to start but then Moxley tagged out to Gabe Kidd
<v Speaker 1>so Akira was getting his ass kicked for a while
<v Speaker 1>before making the hot tag to Andrade Akira got a
<v Speaker 1>schoolboy on Moxley late in the match. He got out
<v Speaker 1>of that, mowed him down with a big boot. But
<v Speaker 1>Akira fought back. Yuta got up on the apron. He
<v Speaker 1>was trying to run distraction and did so long enough
<v Speaker 1>for Moxley to blast Akira with a lariat, hit him
<v Speaker 1>with a paradigm shift. Gabe Kidd and Pac, they prevented
<v Speaker 1>Ospreay and Andrade from making the save. dropped them outside
<v Speaker 1>with a pile driver and a poison Rana out on
<v Speaker 1>the floor. So inside Moxley, more paradigm shifts, then a
<v Speaker 1>death rider into a bulldog choke, and he got the
<v Speaker 1>submission for the win. After the match was over, Moxley,
<v Speaker 1>he got the bulldog choke reapplied. And Andrade broke free.
<v Speaker 1>He was able to clear the ring, but here come
<v Speaker 1>Clark Connors and David Finley, and they hit the ring.
<v Speaker 1>They helped Pac take care of Andrade. Gabe Kidnow is
<v Speaker 1>positioning a steel chair. around the neck of Akira, and
<v Speaker 1>they're going to do to him what the Death Riders
<v Speaker 1>did to Will Ospreay last summer. They're going to try
<v Speaker 1>to break this man's neck, and they're going to make
<v Speaker 1>Ospreay watch this, where Ospreay's going to get up and
<v Speaker 1>see that his friend has been, you know, assassinated, basically,
<v Speaker 1>in the middle of this ring. Ospreay, though, manages to
<v Speaker 1>fly in with hidden blades for everyone. And then he
<v Speaker 1>removed the chair from Akira's neck. He's swinging it around
<v Speaker 1>wildly and he tends to his fallen friend. He throws
<v Speaker 1>up the dreaded X. The doctor comes over to check
<v Speaker 1>on Akira and that is how they went off the air.
<v Speaker 1>So I get what they were going for here. Again,
<v Speaker 1>I think it would work better if it was with
<v Speaker 1>somebody on the AEW roster who was more of, you know,
<v Speaker 1>an established baby face or maybe a friend or ally
<v Speaker 1>of Ospreay's. So for me personally, like it just, it,
<v Speaker 1>I got what they were doing. I understood it. But
<v Speaker 1>like it didn't resonate as much because of that, because
<v Speaker 1>we just don't see this guy on A.W. television very often.
<v Speaker 1>He drops in every now and then. But again, we
<v Speaker 1>don't see a whole lot of him. But they wanted
<v Speaker 1>Moxley and the Death Riders to go after someone close
<v Speaker 1>to Osprey. Right. They wanted to make this personal in
<v Speaker 1>these in these final days here before we get to
<v Speaker 1>the pay per view. But, you know, there's really not
<v Speaker 1>a whole lot left for them to do outside of
<v Speaker 1>them delivering whatever remarks that they're going to deliver. We
<v Speaker 1>got an Osprey, or not Osprey, we got a Moxley
<v Speaker 1>promo backstage at the beginning of the show. Very brief.
<v Speaker 1>But we still have to get that sort of go-home,
<v Speaker 1>like drive-it-home promo from Osprey on the show next week.
<v Speaker 1>Maybe they have, you know, dueling comments. Maybe they end
<v Speaker 1>up in the ring together and they cut promos on
<v Speaker 1>each other. At the very least, though, we should get
<v Speaker 1>that sort of fiery... Osprey babyface promo. This has been
<v Speaker 1>building now for a year. All this stuff with him
<v Speaker 1>and Moxley, it all goes back to what happened last summer,
<v Speaker 1>which then led to him having surgery. In storyline, they
<v Speaker 1>credited that as why he needed neck surgery. And he
<v Speaker 1>was gone for about five months. He came back. He
<v Speaker 1>got beat at Dynasty. Moxley's been unbeatable all year. Osprey lost.
<v Speaker 1>He came back and he lost. His mission was to
<v Speaker 1>murder this man and get revenge, and he failed. And
<v Speaker 1>then it's like, well, if you can't beat him, join him.
<v Speaker 1>And they took him under his wing. And we all
<v Speaker 1>know the story that's been playing out now for months
<v Speaker 1>because you've been here with me, many of you, for
<v Speaker 1>these reviews. And we've been talking about this now for
<v Speaker 1>the majority of the year. So everything that they have
<v Speaker 1>done has built up to this moment here. We're now
<v Speaker 1>Will Ospreay will go in there next weekend. He will
<v Speaker 1>finally get that win back. He will get his revenge.
<v Speaker 1>I don't know that it's going to end there, that
<v Speaker 1>they want to drag it out longer. They can. If
<v Speaker 1>you ask me right now, Blood and Guts, by the way,
<v Speaker 1>has been announced for November. November 4th is going to
<v Speaker 1>be Blood and Guts. And as of this moment, we
<v Speaker 1>talk a lot about war games on these streams and
<v Speaker 1>what are they going to do at Survivor Series. That's
<v Speaker 1>at the end of November. And maybe at the Bloodline
<v Speaker 1>and 946 and all this other stuff. This is the
<v Speaker 1>beginning of November, which is less than two months away.
<v Speaker 1>And it would seem like we're probably going to end
<v Speaker 1>up getting Death Riders and United Empire. So even after
<v Speaker 1>Osprey beats Moxley in Chicago, it's not going to be
<v Speaker 1>over there. It just feels like this feud and this
<v Speaker 1>bad blood is going to continue. It's going to carry
<v Speaker 1>over deeper into the fall. And like Joaquin in the
<v Speaker 1>chat says, Pac, new leader of the Death Riders. Like
<v Speaker 1>I said earlier, they have dropped hints of that. They
<v Speaker 1>have dropped hints that Pac has not been approving of
<v Speaker 1>some of the decisions that Moxley has made, in particular
<v Speaker 1>when it comes to welcoming Osprey into the group. and
<v Speaker 1>that we're not going to make these same mistakes anymore.
<v Speaker 1>They could build to a big angle in a Blood
<v Speaker 1>and Guts match, where they actually do pull the trigger,
<v Speaker 1>and the Death Riders sort of come together and say, okay,
<v Speaker 1>Moxley has made mistakes, or he's gone soft or whatever,
<v Speaker 1>and they kick him out of the group. You could
<v Speaker 1>do that. You could shoot some sort of angle there.
<v Speaker 1>It's just that I don't know that they actually are
<v Speaker 1>going to want to break them up. So I've kind
<v Speaker 1>of given up trying to figure, okay, maybe... they're finally
<v Speaker 1>going to do it now. It's like, well, I thought
<v Speaker 1>they were going to do it a year ago, and
<v Speaker 1>they kept it going for another year. But look, they
<v Speaker 1>got some good stuff out of it, at least with
<v Speaker 1>Moxley and Osprey, by keeping it going for this long.
<v Speaker 1>But how much longer can you keep this going for?
<v Speaker 1>I'm talking about the Deathriders stuff with Moxley. That would
<v Speaker 1>be a good place to do it. But as of
<v Speaker 1>this moment, that's, I imagine that's what we're looking at
<v Speaker 1>in Blood and Guts. United Empire and the Deathriders are probably,
<v Speaker 1>you know, Osprey and Andrade and Question is, do we
<v Speaker 1>have current, you know, United Empire members from Japan? Or
<v Speaker 1>is Osprey going to form his own U.S. version, which
<v Speaker 1>is what he teased a couple of weeks ago? And
<v Speaker 1>as I said that night, when I came on here
<v Speaker 1>live to talk to you on the review, the first
<v Speaker 1>two names that came to mind for me, Ilya Dragunov,
<v Speaker 1>and then longer term, Kyle Fletcher. linking back up with Ospreay. Again,
<v Speaker 1>that's maybe next year. That's further down the road. Dragunov,
<v Speaker 1>I believe 100% would be a great fit for something
<v Speaker 1>like this, especially if you want some international flavor in
<v Speaker 1>this group beyond just Ospreay. So I would love it.
<v Speaker 1>It would be a prime spot for him to be in,
<v Speaker 1>and then he could potentially be in a blood and
<v Speaker 1>guts match within a month of making his debut. If
<v Speaker 1>you believe he will debut in the company next month,
<v Speaker 1>what a hell of a spot for him to be in.
<v Speaker 1>We were talking about this, I think, on TNT last night,
<v Speaker 1>the possible and rumored debut date. Because Dragunov is on
<v Speaker 1>his way in. He's coming into AEW. It's only a
<v Speaker 1>matter now of when are they going to actually debut
<v Speaker 1>him and put him on TV. They have an episode
<v Speaker 1>of Dynamite Grand Slam coming up from France for the
<v Speaker 1>first time ever. I think it's on October 6th. It's
<v Speaker 1>on my birthday, October 6th. And I believe Dynamite is
<v Speaker 1>airing live that night. I don't think it's being taped
<v Speaker 1>on Tuesday to air on Wednesday. I think that week
<v Speaker 1>it's going to be a Tuesday Night Dynamite. That would
<v Speaker 1>be a hell of a place to debut someone like him.
<v Speaker 1>Think of those crowds we had in France for the
<v Speaker 1>WWE shows. Right now, AEW is going there for the
<v Speaker 1>first time. You want to load that show up a
<v Speaker 1>little bit or have something special? Some big surprise maybe
<v Speaker 1>on that show? That would fit the bill. But that
<v Speaker 1>was Dynamite. Again, I enjoyed some of the stuff they did,
<v Speaker 1>some of the other stuff. Not so much. It was
<v Speaker 1>kind of like ho-hum for me. The necklace stuff, again, very,
<v Speaker 1>very silly and goofy with Jericho and Nick Wayne. But
<v Speaker 1>they pushed things along a little bit more for Chicago,
<v Speaker 1>and we got one more Dynamite left to go, which
<v Speaker 1>apparently is a three-hour block with Collision next week. So
<v Speaker 1>be aware of it. They're going to be broadcasting from
<v Speaker 1>8 to 11 p.m., which I guess makes sense because
<v Speaker 1>the pay-per-view is on Saturday that weekend. They could have
<v Speaker 1>done Collision that Thursday next week, but Tony Khan probably
<v Speaker 1>doesn't want to go against football. They got the NFL
<v Speaker 1>back on Thursdays, right? I don't think Tony Khan wants
<v Speaker 1>to compete with the NFL. He's technically part of the
<v Speaker 1>ownership of an NFL team. I don't think he wants
<v Speaker 1>to compete against the NFL. Plus, he'll get crushed. He'll
<v Speaker 1>get fucking crushed. You put Collision on a Thursday night
<v Speaker 1>against the NFL? Are you kidding me? It's not even
<v Speaker 1>a fair fight. Get out of here with that nonsense.
<v Speaker 1>All right, let's take a look at your Super Chats.
<v Speaker 1>Let's take a look at the Super Chats. Joseph Stewart
<v Speaker 1>is with us. Look at this. Joseph wasn't even with
<v Speaker 1>us on Monday, but he showed up here on Wednesday.
<v Speaker 1>Totally crushed. Dude, they're going to get demolished. Collision on
<v Speaker 1>a Thursday against the NFL. They're going to be demolished.
<v Speaker 1>But TNA is not afraid to go up against the NFL. Yeah.
<v Speaker 1>How's that working out for them? Happy Wednesday, Joseph. And
<v Speaker 1>thank you for the $ 4. 99. T2 or Predator? T2. Not
<v Speaker 1>even close. Not even close. Did you know that Die
<v Speaker 1>Hard was originally supposed to be a sequel to Schwarzenegger's
<v Speaker 1>movie Commando? I did not know that. Here I thought
<v Speaker 1>I knew everything about Die Hard. It's one of my
<v Speaker 1>all-time favorite movies. Did you know that Stone Cold was
<v Speaker 1>supposed to be in the Universal Soldier movie before Goldberg
<v Speaker 1>was cast? Goldberg was in the sequel, wasn't he? I
<v Speaker 1>think there were multiple Universal Soldier movies. Wasn't he in
<v Speaker 1>the second one, not the first one? Why do some
<v Speaker 1>people think Booker T was a bigger deal in WCW
<v Speaker 1>than Goldberg and DDP were? Well, they must be Booker
<v Speaker 1>T fans. Who are these people you're referring to? I
<v Speaker 1>don't hear these same arguments. There was no bigger, hotter
<v Speaker 1>star in WCW during that time period than Goldberg. You
<v Speaker 1>don't have to like Goldberg. You can think he's a
<v Speaker 1>shit wrestler. It doesn't matter. Unless you lived it, I
<v Speaker 1>don't think you can fully appreciate how white hot he
<v Speaker 1>got during that period. You talk about them making stars.
<v Speaker 1>One of the few actual stars that they made during
<v Speaker 1>that Monday Night War period. It really was Goldberg, DDP, Booker,
<v Speaker 1>I can't even give them credit for Jericho, honestly. Goldberg, DDP,
<v Speaker 1>and Booker, but none bigger than Goldberg. What if Disney
<v Speaker 1>bought WCW in 2001? Well, then they'd still be alive today,
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't they? Thank you, Joseph. Dry Chicken with a 5.
<v Speaker 1>Kyle Fletcher and Kevin Knight are getting along very well.
<v Speaker 1>Sooner or later, we're going to get the tag team
<v Speaker 1>name Proto Jet. Or the Proto Star Knights. Well, I mean,
<v Speaker 1>they're getting along well for now. This is only, this
<v Speaker 1>is a very temporary thing. Is Die Hard a Christmas movie?
<v Speaker 1>The answer is yes. If Christian Cage keeps talking about
<v Speaker 1>everybody's father one time, I'm going to start calling Christian
<v Speaker 1>Cage the stepfather based off the 1987 movie. And I
<v Speaker 1>believe the star of that movie, his name escapes me,
<v Speaker 1>but I know he was on the TV show Lost.
<v Speaker 1>What was his name? Somebody will remind me in the chat.
<v Speaker 1>but he, he, he was the stepfather, right? In the,
<v Speaker 1>in that movie, uh, Francesco Akira backstage segment was funny.
<v Speaker 1>Francesco Akira, uh, Brody with a 10. Hey Brody. Thank you.
<v Speaker 1>It says, uh, can't stay for the stream, but I'll
<v Speaker 1>be listening tomorrow at work. And, uh, you and JD
<v Speaker 1>are the best of the best of the best. Thank
<v Speaker 1>you for the support. We had a, uh, A really
<v Speaker 1>good episode of TNT last night. Many laps were had.
<v Speaker 1>Lots of ground covered. So you should all go check
<v Speaker 1>that out. And we got a pair of super chats
<v Speaker 1>here from Darius. What's funnier, Jericho feuding with Nick Wayne
<v Speaker 1>over a puka shell necklace or feuding with Kane over
<v Speaker 1>spilt coffee? Oh, the feud with Kane over spilt coffee
<v Speaker 1>was far more entertaining. I still remember the segment that
<v Speaker 1>kicked off that entire program. Literally bumped into him, spilled
<v Speaker 1>coffee on him. They got at least one pay-per-view match
<v Speaker 1>out of it. I want to say it was a
<v Speaker 1>Survivor Series match. Terry O'Quinn was the actor, yes. Thank you,
<v Speaker 1>Terry O'Quinn. Terry O'Quinn was the stepfather and the actor
<v Speaker 1>who played Benny on L.A. Law. was The Dentist, right?
<v Speaker 1>Because they have at least one, maybe a couple of
<v Speaker 1>horror movies called The Dentist. And I think the actor
<v Speaker 1>who played Benny on L.A. Law played The Dentist. I
<v Speaker 1>don't know why I remember this, but... And Darius also says,
<v Speaker 1>it's my birthday today. I have made it to 33. Well,
<v Speaker 1>happy birthday, Darius. Well, Maze, it's also your birthday. We
<v Speaker 1>got a couple of birthdays here. Mine is less than
<v Speaker 1>a month away. It's going to be birthday fever. Did
<v Speaker 1>I bid on Francine's implant? It's not Francine's implant. You
<v Speaker 1>have to listen to the Uncrowned Wrestling Show. I explained all.
<v Speaker 1>It's Missy Hyatt. Unless Francine is also putting her implant
<v Speaker 1>up for sale, but it's Missy Hyatt. Yes, if you
<v Speaker 1>would like to own a piece of Missy Hyatt, Now's
<v Speaker 1>your chance because she has a breast implant that was removed,
<v Speaker 1>including a certificate of authenticity from the doctor who removed
<v Speaker 1>all 800 cc's of silicone. It can be yours. She'll
<v Speaker 1>even sign it. All it's going to cost you is
<v Speaker 1>a cool $ 1, 500. But you've got to get those DMs
<v Speaker 1>in to her. by Sunday. No later than Sunday. Let
<v Speaker 1>the bidding begin. Mike from Brooklyn, I love the recaps.
<v Speaker 1>Thank you for what you do. Mike also became a
<v Speaker 1>channel member. So thank you, Mike. I appreciate that. I'm
<v Speaker 1>glad you enjoy the streams. Hope to see you around
<v Speaker 1>here more often. We got... Who we got here? We got...
<v Speaker 1>Brian Garcia. We need your Marvel update. I recommend watching
<v Speaker 1>Civil War before starting Infinity Wars. I just finished watching
<v Speaker 1>most of the Doomsday List. Well, ever since I came
<v Speaker 1>back from LA, I have not I've not watched any
<v Speaker 1>new ones. So on the flight to and from LA,
<v Speaker 1>I knocked out Iron Man, Iron Man 2, Thor, and
<v Speaker 1>Captain America, the first one. And in addition to the
<v Speaker 1>first two X-Men movies. That's all I've done so far.
<v Speaker 1>I think the next one is going to be the
<v Speaker 1>first Avengers movie, and then we'll just kind of go
<v Speaker 1>on from there. But I just haven't had a chance.
<v Speaker 1>Maybe tomorrow night. I am seeing Resident Evil tomorrow. I'm
<v Speaker 1>actually going to go see that. I'm looking forward to that.
<v Speaker 1>It's a cool 90 minutes. It's going to be an
<v Speaker 1>easy watch. It's got good reviews so far. So we're
<v Speaker 1>going to Raccoon City tomorrow night. And then we'll try
<v Speaker 1>to get back to the Marvel stuff. It took me
<v Speaker 1>all of a millisecond. It wasn't very hard. It wasn't
<v Speaker 1>very hard, and Solid Monster wasn't that young. It was
<v Speaker 1>pretty clear who it was. Solo, salute from Milwaukee, says Gibson. Salute.
<v Speaker 1>Salute to all my listeners and viewers in Milwaukee. Resident
<v Speaker 1>Evil got a 98% on Rotten Tomatoes. highest rating of
<v Speaker 1>all time for a video game movie. Well, then that
<v Speaker 1>certainly gives me something to look forward to, doesn't it? Anyway,
<v Speaker 1>thank you guys for hanging out with me here in
<v Speaker 1>and out in a little over an hour, a cool
<v Speaker 1>economical hour. Tell you, no, it's a Wednesday night. Uh,
<v Speaker 1>we did four 12 on the likes, which on some
<v Speaker 1>nights that would get the job done. Tonight's not one
<v Speaker 1>of those nights though. 600 was the goal. All those
<v Speaker 1>Be The Booker updates, I guess they're going to have
<v Speaker 1>to wait. All the updates have been made, and we'll
<v Speaker 1>try again on Friday. That is the next time I
<v Speaker 1>will be live with you for SmackDown and all the
<v Speaker 1>fallout from Sami Zayn regaining the WWE Championship. We ain't
<v Speaker 1>in Mexico City no more. I don't know where SmackDown
<v Speaker 1>is this week. I know Raw is in San Antonio.
<v Speaker 1>I don't know where SmackDown is. But I know where
<v Speaker 1>I'll be I'll be here with all of you. If
<v Speaker 1>you did not check out the latest episode of the
<v Speaker 1>Uncrowned Wrestling Show, please go back and do so. Always
<v Speaker 1>appreciate your support and feedback on that show. Be well.
