00:00:00.320 --> 00:00:20.239
It's still up. Welcome everybody.
Welcome to This week's edition is snow Real
2
00:00:20.280 --> 00:00:25.800
Go Show episode number six hundred ninety
four for June one, twenty twenty three.
3
00:00:26.239 --> 00:00:30.839
Welcome to your Tie United Champions,
an XT Battle, Brownie a w
4
00:00:31.120 --> 00:00:36.880
Double or Nothing recap and review,
EDI Show of ass of to you.
5
00:00:37.840 --> 00:00:41.560
I am one half the show.
I am Jeff Pack joined every single week
6
00:00:41.600 --> 00:00:44.679
to my cost one only. Doctor
Try Franklin, Doctor try, I see
7
00:00:44.679 --> 00:00:48.920
you're wearing. I survived fifteen hours
of wrestling programming my friend. Yeah,
8
00:00:48.920 --> 00:00:53.719
it's it's a quote aligned from the
Hangover, But did you die? Like
9
00:00:53.799 --> 00:01:00.479
that's kind of how I felt coming
into actually Thursday, because literally wrestling Saturday,
10
00:01:00.520 --> 00:01:04.040
wrestling Sunday, wrestling on Monday,
wrestling on Tuesday, wrestling on Wednesday,
11
00:01:04.480 --> 00:01:10.640
And uh yeah I survived this um
and I didn't die. So that's
12
00:01:10.680 --> 00:01:11.359
always about his points. I guess
that. I mean, it'd be hard
13
00:01:11.359 --> 00:01:15.200
to do the pote the podcast with
the ghost of Trey Franklin. No,
14
00:01:15.400 --> 00:01:18.599
that would be that would be very
difficult. I watched Night of Champions,
15
00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:23.400
I watched Anexty, Battleground, AW
Double or Nothing, Raw, n xt
16
00:01:23.079 --> 00:01:27.159
AW, Dynamite, and then just
to spice things up here a little bit,
17
00:01:27.200 --> 00:01:33.159
Doctor Trey. I watched Most Wanted
Treasures, w Most Wanted Treasures on
18
00:01:33.200 --> 00:01:37.439
an E, Sonhold Takes on America
on A and E, and I watched
19
00:01:37.519 --> 00:01:45.439
the season debut of Vice's Dark Side
of the Ring with Tammy Sitch and Chris
20
00:01:45.480 --> 00:01:49.719
Candido. So I was like fully
in through all the Profreshion wrestling programming over
21
00:01:49.719 --> 00:01:53.159
the last week. Highly recommend the
Dark Side of the Ring stuff for those
22
00:01:53.159 --> 00:01:57.400
who have never watched it. But
yeah, I guess we won't recap the
23
00:01:57.439 --> 00:02:00.480
final three, but we definitely have
a lot of stuff to recap in the
24
00:02:01.079 --> 00:02:04.799
first three. Doctor Trey. Lots
of wrestling this past weekend, and of
25
00:02:04.799 --> 00:02:07.599
course it was a Memorial Day.
Also, did you watch You didn't watch
26
00:02:07.639 --> 00:02:12.400
the show that came on after Dynamite, The Hulk Hogan. I didn't.
27
00:02:12.439 --> 00:02:15.599
I did not, So actually it's
funny you say that. So I watched
28
00:02:15.759 --> 00:02:21.280
Dynamite on DVR a little bit of
a delay and it cut into that show
29
00:02:21.639 --> 00:02:25.479
and I was like, crap,
I did not DVR it. I made
30
00:02:25.479 --> 00:02:29.520
it all the way through. Now, mind you, I haven't been sleeping
31
00:02:29.599 --> 00:02:34.400
much. Okay, he is pregnant
for those one ring oh god, I
32
00:02:34.400 --> 00:02:36.759
can only dream. I mean,
I'd make a lot of money off that.
33
00:02:38.159 --> 00:02:39.759
So I made it. It was
almost like do you remember the old
34
00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:44.360
VH one behind the Music Store like
show? Yeah, yeah, yeah,
35
00:02:44.360 --> 00:02:46.400
I'm old. Remember we just had
this discussion off air. We're both old.
36
00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:51.120
I do remember those. So it
was kind of done like that,
37
00:02:52.199 --> 00:02:55.560
like they don't interview Hogan, they're
interviewing Flair. They're interviewing like the writer
38
00:02:55.680 --> 00:03:00.840
of the unauthorized biography. They're they're
interviewing and the Rate characters to Hogan's life.
39
00:03:00.960 --> 00:03:05.840
So I made it all the way
up through where the sex tape came
40
00:03:05.840 --> 00:03:08.080
out, and then I was like, okay, I'm doing I can only
41
00:03:08.080 --> 00:03:12.400
take so much Bubba the Love Sponge
on my TV at one point and I
42
00:03:12.439 --> 00:03:15.400
was like, yeah, I'm done. We're good for now. So would
43
00:03:15.400 --> 00:03:23.280
you recommend me watching it if you
like the sensationalism because they referenced the sex
44
00:03:23.360 --> 00:03:28.240
tape, they referenced the you know
in words stuff like they referenced the Rate
45
00:03:28.280 --> 00:03:30.159
well, the racist rant however you
want to phrase it. They reference all
46
00:03:30.199 --> 00:03:34.000
that stuff, and then I don't
know how it ended, Like the first
47
00:03:34.039 --> 00:03:38.800
half was really good. This shows
some old footage of Hogan from the seventies
48
00:03:38.840 --> 00:03:43.879
and early eighties, and they chronicle
the run of there. But once they
49
00:03:43.919 --> 00:03:47.520
got into the sensationalism of the Hogan
sex tape and the racist rant, I
50
00:03:47.599 --> 00:03:52.159
was like, yeah, it's it's
I'm wrestling doubt so I am going too
51
00:03:52.159 --> 00:03:55.639
bad and dream about wrestling. So
it sounds like, no, I should
52
00:03:55.639 --> 00:03:59.919
not watch it. It's not.
I mean, if you're comparing it to
53
00:04:00.280 --> 00:04:02.199
like, I mean, we love
the Vice stuff the Dark Side, it's
54
00:04:02.199 --> 00:04:06.039
amazing. I don't think there's been
a bad episode of Dark Side of the
55
00:04:06.120 --> 00:04:11.759
Ring yet that I've seen. So
if you're comparing it, it's like watching
56
00:04:11.800 --> 00:04:15.600
if it's watching a documentary that you're
really into, versus the v H one
57
00:04:15.639 --> 00:04:18.680
behind the music stuff. Okay,
all right, good stuff, good stuff,
58
00:04:18.680 --> 00:04:23.879
all right, I'll have to see
and potentially check that out. Highly
59
00:04:23.920 --> 00:04:28.480
recommend The Dark Side of the Ring. By the way, Chris Candino story
60
00:04:28.680 --> 00:04:32.240
incredibly sad, and I forgot how
incredibly it's sad sad it was until I
61
00:04:32.399 --> 00:04:40.240
rewatched it recently and the first episode
of this past Tuesday over on a Vice,
62
00:04:40.279 --> 00:04:43.879
which I guess could be going bankrupt
soon or is bankrupt at this point.
63
00:04:44.560 --> 00:04:46.439
Lots to cover here on this week's
This Show. Let's start chronologically.
64
00:04:46.439 --> 00:04:50.199
We'll go to Saturday, Doctor Trey
nine of Champions recab and review this past
65
00:04:50.240 --> 00:04:55.480
Saturday from Jetta Superdome in Jetta,
Saudi Arabia, and I'll just start it
66
00:04:55.519 --> 00:04:57.839
out. Well, maybe I'll save
it towards the end. Let's get to
67
00:04:57.839 --> 00:05:01.040
the first match. Seth Freaking Roll
Defeast aj Styles in the tournament final to
68
00:05:01.160 --> 00:05:04.720
win the inaugural w World Await Championship. You and I both had Seth Frank
69
00:05:04.759 --> 00:05:08.879
and Rons again the victory. Solid
match that felt like this result was a
70
00:05:08.920 --> 00:05:13.040
foregone conclusion all along. Seth Rons
is a world champion again, and I
71
00:05:13.079 --> 00:05:15.759
am here for it. Doctor Trey. Yeah, like SE's one of our
72
00:05:15.800 --> 00:05:20.560
favorite characters on TV right now.
I don't know if I can say this
73
00:05:20.639 --> 00:05:25.920
match delivered just because of the fact
that, you know, it's a little
74
00:05:25.959 --> 00:05:29.040
bit it wasn't as good like the
foregot the conclusion was there, so to
75
00:05:29.079 --> 00:05:31.560
speak, Yeah, yeah, it
was. It just it just always felt
76
00:05:31.560 --> 00:05:34.160
like it was gonna be Cody or
Seth Frank and Rons. I guess is
77
00:05:34.160 --> 00:05:41.839
where I sit on it? Sorry, they're making me move my vehicle.
78
00:05:42.199 --> 00:05:45.360
Oh, no problem, who who
is making you move to your vehicle?
79
00:05:45.480 --> 00:05:48.519
So apparently, so I stopped at
a target to record the podcast on the
80
00:05:48.519 --> 00:05:55.959
way home, and I guess they're
about to repave the concrete. So the
81
00:05:56.120 --> 00:05:59.240
workers are like, hey, weird
guy on the phone in an suv,
82
00:05:59.399 --> 00:06:00.800
can you please leave your vehicle to
the other park a lot? And it
83
00:06:00.839 --> 00:06:05.000
was a guy who spoke very very
little English, so I had to acquiesce
84
00:06:05.079 --> 00:06:09.319
to his request. That's I'm going
to leave this in this podcast. So
85
00:06:10.720 --> 00:06:13.439
usually we edit stuff like this out, but I think we leave this one
86
00:06:13.439 --> 00:06:15.199
in because it was like, I'm
like, do we lose them? No,
87
00:06:15.319 --> 00:06:17.879
it's not as good. It's not
as good as the policeman. But
88
00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:20.360
now like it's not as good as
say, this might be top four,
89
00:06:20.439 --> 00:06:26.120
but this is not good as Sammy
assaulting me or the police. But when
90
00:06:26.120 --> 00:06:30.079
you have a hispanic what is that
noise? I don't know what that always
91
00:06:30.120 --> 00:06:35.120
is? What is that? Oh? Apparently got an email? Nothing all
92
00:06:35.160 --> 00:06:39.360
day? And then of course I
get this guy and then the emails um
93
00:06:39.720 --> 00:06:42.399
shows going off the rails here,
folks, Oh, I know quickly this
94
00:06:42.439 --> 00:06:45.279
is this is like I survived.
This podcast should be the T shirt.
95
00:06:45.319 --> 00:06:47.680
I'm wearing it all right, let's
get to h Let's get to the next
96
00:06:47.720 --> 00:06:50.560
match here, Doctor Trey tris Stradis
defeats Becky Lynch. You and I bought
97
00:06:50.560 --> 00:06:54.959
that tristradis good match. Really like
the addition of Zoe Start to this feud
98
00:06:54.959 --> 00:06:57.839
and getting involved in the match to
help Trish. Did not see that comment.
99
00:06:57.879 --> 00:06:59.839
I'm a fan of Zoe Stark,
so I liked what I saw.
100
00:07:00.079 --> 00:07:02.199
Good match this past Saturday night.
Yeah, I really enjoyed the match.
101
00:07:02.279 --> 00:07:05.360
I love the Zoe Start pairing because
for a lot of the younger fans,
102
00:07:05.360 --> 00:07:08.319
they don't are the fans, they
don't want to Anstey don't only know her,
103
00:07:08.399 --> 00:07:11.800
but not just that, but she
looks like a version of Trish.
104
00:07:11.839 --> 00:07:15.360
She looks like a little bit younger
Jack Verger or Trish where they staying side
105
00:07:15.360 --> 00:07:17.519
by side, So I loved it. Plus this also they could also bring
106
00:07:17.639 --> 00:07:20.839
Leda back into the picture because we
could get Becky and Leda versus Zoe and
107
00:07:20.839 --> 00:07:26.160
Trish as well. So that makes
my heart happy as well. Next match
108
00:07:26.199 --> 00:07:30.160
here is Gunther defeating Mustafa Ali to
retain the w Intercontinental Championship. We both
109
00:07:30.160 --> 00:07:34.439
had Gunther very entertaining match. Mustafa
Ali looked like a star and I don't
110
00:07:34.480 --> 00:07:38.800
know when the last time we saw
a bad match from Gunther. So great
111
00:07:38.839 --> 00:07:44.000
match Gunther mustaf Ali, who later
showed up on NXE television this past week.
112
00:07:44.279 --> 00:07:47.000
I guess hess I set on the
North American Championship in Wesley. Loved
113
00:07:47.000 --> 00:07:49.800
this match, Doc Tree, it
was a lot of fun. No fantastic
114
00:07:49.800 --> 00:07:54.439
match. Doesn't have a bad match. This also to me, this reminded
115
00:07:54.480 --> 00:07:57.560
me of Rhan Zalina from you know, the previous pay per viewer, like
116
00:07:58.600 --> 00:08:01.600
over with the crowd. They had
to make him look good. You still
117
00:08:01.639 --> 00:08:05.079
got the heel champion winning, but
Mustafa comes out look. The only thing
118
00:08:05.079 --> 00:08:07.560
I question is Mustafa comes out looking
really strong and then he gets sent to
119
00:08:07.680 --> 00:08:13.560
NXT Like that makes kind of question
the thought process behind him, so I
120
00:08:13.680 --> 00:08:18.040
question that as well. And then
he made mention that he's a free agent.
121
00:08:18.160 --> 00:08:20.079
I was like, that's interesting,
and they did play off of his
122
00:08:20.199 --> 00:08:26.360
match with Gunther going for the Intercontinental
Championship that he wants more opportunities at gold.
123
00:08:26.399 --> 00:08:31.600
He's a free agent. We saw
who attacked Carmelo Hayes at the end
124
00:08:31.600 --> 00:08:35.360
of NXC television that we'll talk about
here. Later on, So I thought
125
00:08:35.360 --> 00:08:39.519
from a storyline standpoint and actually made
sense. But I could see your understanding,
126
00:08:39.559 --> 00:08:41.960
like, Okay, he goes from
Icy title to maybe the North American
127
00:08:41.039 --> 00:08:46.919
Championship. But I think it does
help elevate NXC some when you have the
128
00:08:46.960 --> 00:08:52.720
most recent Intercontinental Championship challenger down in
NXT going after one of their championships.
129
00:08:52.159 --> 00:08:54.960
Yeah. I mean, we saw
it with Dolf last year doing that and
130
00:08:56.039 --> 00:08:58.080
helping Guy. We see you with
Apollo, So it's a formula. It's
131
00:08:58.120 --> 00:09:01.519
worked. It was just like you
said, like going from the Intercontal title
132
00:09:01.559 --> 00:09:05.519
to now I guess the NXT version
of the Intercontal title the North American title
133
00:09:05.679 --> 00:09:09.639
is kind of to me a step
backwards. And at this point, I
134
00:09:09.080 --> 00:09:13.039
just I think I think they're trying
to figure out what to do with Mustafa
135
00:09:13.080 --> 00:09:18.039
because the positive Ali gimmick didn't really
work, the retribution gimmick didn't work.
136
00:09:18.200 --> 00:09:20.559
The only one that people really got
behind was the iron man gimmick that he
137
00:09:20.600 --> 00:09:24.039
was kind of doing for a while, you know, during the two oh
138
00:09:24.039 --> 00:09:26.919
five Live days, and he's just
I think he's a star. I'm a
139
00:09:28.000 --> 00:09:31.200
Mustaf Ali fan, and wherever he
ends up, if he gets more television
140
00:09:31.200 --> 00:09:35.840
time and more match time. I'm
here for it, so happy for him.
141
00:09:35.279 --> 00:09:39.399
Oscar defeats Bianca Belair to win the
w W RAW Woman's Championship. I
142
00:09:39.440 --> 00:09:43.000
had Oscar Doctor Trey Bianca Belair.
I liked to finish with Oscar sprain that
143
00:09:43.039 --> 00:09:46.200
miss on our hands to blind Bianca
during the ko D spot. This was
144
00:09:46.240 --> 00:09:48.240
the right call, as Bianca's title
ran was kind of getting a little bit
145
00:09:48.279 --> 00:09:52.720
stale Doctor Trey, what say you? Yeah, You're absolutely right. I
146
00:09:52.799 --> 00:09:54.960
had Bianca winning because it was the
John Cena factor, like until she loses.
147
00:09:56.080 --> 00:09:58.879
I just didn't see her losing.
I love the finish I have.
148
00:10:00.279 --> 00:10:03.080
I've seen I saw the great kabuky
do that in like nineteen eighty three,
149
00:10:03.320 --> 00:10:07.840
so I love that. It's just
a long throwback to the mist on the
150
00:10:07.919 --> 00:10:11.240
hands to help get the win.
So made a ton of sense. Oscar
151
00:10:11.320 --> 00:10:13.840
is a heel, so she has
to cheat to win. And then now
152
00:10:13.840 --> 00:10:16.440
you get to see if Bianca can
rise back with the rank or if they
153
00:10:16.480 --> 00:10:20.320
end up flipping her heel. Perhaps
maybe at some point m SO tuned.
154
00:10:20.000 --> 00:10:24.360
Next match, here's Riha Ripley defeating
Natalia to retain the WI Smack to him
155
00:10:24.360 --> 00:10:28.399
it's championship. We both at Ria
Ripley disappointing match that reflected the bill for
156
00:10:28.399 --> 00:10:31.200
this feud very well. As always
with a result like this, it'll be
157
00:10:31.240 --> 00:10:35.159
interesting if this leads to anything for
Riha and Natty. Did not see anything
158
00:10:35.159 --> 00:10:37.759
on RAW. We'll see if anything
further happens. Just hate to see Nattie
159
00:10:37.759 --> 00:10:41.799
get jobbed out like this unless there's
some sort of storyline behind it. Yeah,
160
00:10:41.840 --> 00:10:46.559
and I hated it because A it
makes Natty look bad because you got
161
00:10:46.559 --> 00:10:50.159
distracted by Dom and then b doesn't
do anything for Rea, Like Ria had
162
00:10:50.159 --> 00:10:54.480
to beat Natty really quickly with the
help from Dodd, So it's like it
163
00:10:54.519 --> 00:11:00.480
doesn't really benefit either person going forward. So just hated it, really really
164
00:11:00.519 --> 00:11:05.000
hated it. Next match here is
brock Lesnar feeding Cody Rhodes. We both
165
00:11:05.039 --> 00:11:09.960
had brock Lessner entertaining match that told
the great story. I like where this
166
00:11:09.039 --> 00:11:13.320
is heading for Cody Rhodes, and
this feud has really been impressive in helping
167
00:11:13.360 --> 00:11:18.480
continue to grow Cody as a character, especially following the night after Russellmany people
168
00:11:18.639 --> 00:11:20.519
did not like it. I'm liking
this, Doctor Trey. Your thoughts,
169
00:11:22.200 --> 00:11:24.200
Yeah, I really enjoyed this match, one of Brock's better matches he's had
170
00:11:24.240 --> 00:11:28.559
in a while. I love the
cast stuff. I love that in the
171
00:11:28.559 --> 00:11:31.639
beginning he was trying to fight alarmed, then he realized he could use the
172
00:11:31.639 --> 00:11:35.000
cast like it all made a ton
of sense and really worked and so great
173
00:11:35.000 --> 00:11:39.679
storytelling. And this is what we
talk about. Cody has to have obstacles
174
00:11:39.679 --> 00:11:43.120
to overcome, and he's got a
big one that he has overcome heading into
175
00:11:43.240 --> 00:11:46.159
SummerSlam season. And then finally the
main event here, Kevin Owens and Sammy
176
00:11:46.240 --> 00:11:52.559
Zane defeat Roman Rains and Solo Sitoa
to retain the undisputed WE Tag Team Championship.
177
00:11:52.600 --> 00:11:54.720
We both had Ko and Sammy get
the victory. The finish of this
178
00:11:54.759 --> 00:12:00.840
match was really good. The USO's
accidentally super kicking Solo the first thing Roman
179
00:12:00.919 --> 00:12:05.799
Rain saw to Roman pushing Jay around
to these superkicks from Jimmy. It was
180
00:12:05.879 --> 00:12:11.000
all very well done, leading to
Sammy and Kevin retaining. I officially think
181
00:12:11.200 --> 00:12:16.120
Jay usso Met may be the most
compelling wrestling character in the entire industry,
182
00:12:16.519 --> 00:12:20.120
as he is once again torn when
it comes to his relationship with a bloodline.
183
00:12:20.000 --> 00:12:26.080
Like Great Match Love, the Finnish
Great clothes, compelling stuff. Can't
184
00:12:26.080 --> 00:12:30.440
wait to see where this heads on
Friday night SmackDown, Doctor Trey. Your
185
00:12:30.480 --> 00:12:33.559
thoughts, my friend, Yeah,
loved it, Love the entrances. I
186
00:12:33.639 --> 00:12:39.000
love Sammy coming out and speaking Arabic. Love the whole match. Loved the
187
00:12:39.080 --> 00:12:41.559
finish, Like, this is just
great storytelling. And you're right, like,
188
00:12:41.639 --> 00:12:48.399
I love that it's Jimmy that turned
on Roman and that Jay is torn
189
00:12:48.600 --> 00:12:52.080
again, like and he does.
He may be one of the top five
190
00:12:52.240 --> 00:12:58.120
wrestlers with facial expressions in the business
a day. Just great storytelling, great
191
00:12:58.519 --> 00:13:01.600
character work. And then you're right. Now, I have to watch SmackDown
192
00:13:01.679 --> 00:13:03.759
to add to my collection of wrestling
this week to see what happens with the
193
00:13:03.799 --> 00:13:07.960
bloodline because of how that match ended. Yeah, it's it's great stuff.
194
00:13:09.200 --> 00:13:13.519
You know, I do question,
Doctor Trey, is it somewhat too much?
195
00:13:13.639 --> 00:13:18.360
Sometimes? Because it was reminiscent of
the Sam Musane stuff from the Royal
196
00:13:18.440 --> 00:13:22.480
Rumble. But this time Jimmy was
siding with Roman, and it wasn't that
197
00:13:22.559 --> 00:13:24.480
long ago where you know, Jimmy
was on the side of Roman and making
198
00:13:24.480 --> 00:13:30.519
them choose, and you know,
Roman basically pushed him and his brother around
199
00:13:30.559 --> 00:13:33.200
following WrestleMania, Like I do question, is it, like is it too
200
00:13:33.320 --> 00:13:37.720
much throwing shit at the wall,
But it's just so damn good. They
201
00:13:37.759 --> 00:13:43.840
execute it so darned well and it's
enjoyable. But I do question, like,
202
00:13:43.840 --> 00:13:46.440
like I said, I do question
is if it's too much sometimes?
203
00:13:46.440 --> 00:13:50.200
And then they still haven't touched on
the solo angle of it, with solo
204
00:13:50.320 --> 00:13:54.600
actually being Jimmy and Jay's brother.
Yeah, yeah, that's another layer to
205
00:13:54.639 --> 00:14:00.440
the story that could still take you. My issue was maybe the turnaround time
206
00:14:00.639 --> 00:14:03.679
was too quick. Maybe we should
have waited another month for this December before
207
00:14:03.799 --> 00:14:07.759
pointing the trick has only it's only
been yeah, a couple of months as
208
00:14:07.759 --> 00:14:11.000
WrestleMania, that's only a couple of
months after you know, Sammy did his
209
00:14:11.039 --> 00:14:15.480
turn because elimination Chamber was in February. So is it too soon for all
210
00:14:15.519 --> 00:14:18.440
of these people's turning against Roman.
But hey, empires have to crumble to
211
00:14:18.519 --> 00:14:22.559
then get rebuilt someday, So maybe
they're like, hey, if we're going
212
00:14:22.600 --> 00:14:24.840
to tear it down, let's just
tear it down to you know, just
213
00:14:24.919 --> 00:14:28.080
the bricks in the mortar. The
beauty of this feud and the beauty of
214
00:14:28.080 --> 00:14:31.720
that moment at the close of Night
of Champions Is it took me back to
215
00:14:31.759 --> 00:14:37.879
Helen a Cell twenty twenty when it
was Jus versus Roman Rains and Jimmy,
216
00:14:37.879 --> 00:14:41.200
who was hurt at the time,
came in the ring and that was like
217
00:14:41.240 --> 00:14:45.080
the beginning of Jay and Jimmy siding
with Roman, and it was like,
218
00:14:45.200 --> 00:14:48.879
this is what you should have done
a long time ago. Like the storylines
219
00:14:48.840 --> 00:14:54.519
has just made sense. And the
callbacks even three years later, whether it
220
00:14:54.759 --> 00:14:58.960
was intentional or not by de Wust
part just it's it's so well written,
221
00:15:00.039 --> 00:15:05.600
and I think it's forgotten because the
head of creative at the time from w
222
00:15:05.919 --> 00:15:09.320
was a different person than it is
now with Triple h at the Helm versus
223
00:15:09.399 --> 00:15:11.639
Vincent the Helm, even though Bruce
Pritchard was someone and you know, heavily
224
00:15:11.639 --> 00:15:16.480
involved as well. I just like
the callbacks. I like how they tie
225
00:15:16.519 --> 00:15:20.200
things up. I like the full
circle stuff. I love the fan theories
226
00:15:20.240 --> 00:15:24.440
about it, like those are always
the cool things about stories that we all
227
00:15:24.480 --> 00:15:26.919
see, whether it's for those that
are you know, fans of Ted Lasso
228
00:15:28.039 --> 00:15:33.799
and that his season just end recently
and people are coming up with theories Mandalorian
229
00:15:33.919 --> 00:15:37.879
anything, Star Wars, whatever,
like fans always make up their own theories,
230
00:15:37.279 --> 00:15:41.720
and that's what w has done with
his feud. And I don't ever
231
00:15:41.799 --> 00:15:46.039
remember a storyline like this where you
have fan theories as to what you're seeing
232
00:15:46.080 --> 00:15:50.919
and what people are thinking. Like
it's it's heavily enjoyable. Yeah, so
233
00:15:50.000 --> 00:15:52.159
in your mind, what what is
the big what's the payoff? I mean,
234
00:15:52.200 --> 00:15:54.279
there's gotta be a one on one
match. There's gotta be a payoff,
235
00:15:54.320 --> 00:16:00.200
is it? I do? I
think the payoff is Jay Usso And
236
00:16:00.919 --> 00:16:03.879
I mean this is this is for
a story for another day and maybe we
237
00:16:03.919 --> 00:16:07.360
talk about it at greater length on
next week sins the show, but the
238
00:16:07.399 --> 00:16:11.159
stories are out there right now that
the plan still is for Cody versus Roman
239
00:16:11.159 --> 00:16:15.639
and Wrestlemanning of forty next year,
Like that's still the plan. And in
240
00:16:15.679 --> 00:16:17.519
my mind, it's like, all
right, well, Cody's not going to
241
00:16:17.600 --> 00:16:19.279
lose two in a row to Roman
and wrestle Maning, Like that's when they
242
00:16:19.360 --> 00:16:22.360
when they pull the trigger and we
have a new champion, I would think.
243
00:16:23.159 --> 00:16:26.679
But um, it's like, you
know, I'm starting to think like
244
00:16:26.960 --> 00:16:33.080
this could beat the breakout for Juso. I never saw the usos as the
245
00:16:33.120 --> 00:16:40.360
Heart Foundation or the Rockers or the
Hardy Boys or Edging Christian where one of
246
00:16:40.399 --> 00:16:42.799
the two members of the you know, one of the members of that team,
247
00:16:44.320 --> 00:16:49.320
legendary team becomes a world champion or
a main event player. And I
248
00:16:49.360 --> 00:16:55.519
think Jay Usso has that capability.
Like the fans, I don't think there's
249
00:16:55.519 --> 00:16:59.320
anybody that's more compelling and captivating right
now and relatable to the fans and Jay
250
00:16:59.399 --> 00:17:04.000
Uso and in any wrestling organization right
now. I think the fans are have
251
00:17:04.200 --> 00:17:10.759
more close sincere feelings with Jay Usso
than any wrestler in the entire company now
252
00:17:11.240 --> 00:17:14.480
into all of wrestling. Yeah,
and I think the crazy part of as
253
00:17:14.519 --> 00:17:18.160
I don't. I think the fans
relate to Jay Usso, but they don't
254
00:17:18.160 --> 00:17:22.720
know how to feel about Jayuso.
Yeah, yeah, ntil will until we
255
00:17:22.799 --> 00:17:25.720
see it, right, I mean, Sammy's done it, Jimmy's done it
256
00:17:25.759 --> 00:17:30.240
is solo next? When does Jay? Maybe? The compelling storyline here is
257
00:17:30.920 --> 00:17:33.960
we were waiting for Sammy to pull
the trigger for all the entire time?
258
00:17:34.160 --> 00:17:37.519
Is it now? Jay? Is
Jay the one that pulls the trigger?
259
00:17:37.559 --> 00:17:41.559
And does Jay side with Roman?
Tomorrow night on SmackDown, Friday Night on
260
00:17:41.640 --> 00:17:45.400
SmackDown and then feuge with his brother
for a little bit, and then he
261
00:17:45.480 --> 00:17:48.359
in three four months from now,
pulls the trigger like what's it going to
262
00:17:48.440 --> 00:17:52.240
take? And I think that's where
everybody's kind of watch right now. The
263
00:17:52.279 --> 00:17:56.079
feeling is very reminiscent of Sammy that
Jay eventually turns on Roman, and that
264
00:17:56.839 --> 00:18:00.519
reaction from the fans may be bigger
than Sammy and Roman from Royal Rumble.
265
00:18:00.640 --> 00:18:06.680
So great show overall. I went
seven out Dot Trey went six and one.
266
00:18:06.759 --> 00:18:08.440
Coming out of the show, I
went forty three and fifteen Doctor Troy
267
00:18:08.440 --> 00:18:15.000
thirty nine and nineteen. Match of
the Night and event rating. I gave
268
00:18:15.200 --> 00:18:18.960
nxc xcuse me w Knight of Champions
four point one out of five, and
269
00:18:19.000 --> 00:18:22.559
I gave Sammy, Sandy, Kevin
Owens taking on Roman, Range and soloticoa
270
00:18:22.720 --> 00:18:26.839
my Match of the night, Doctor
Trey, what say you? I went
271
00:18:26.880 --> 00:18:27.839
a little lower. I was three
point nine. I thought it was a
272
00:18:27.880 --> 00:18:32.759
really solid show. Obviously the finishingly
great. The rest stuff kind of pulled
273
00:18:32.759 --> 00:18:34.599
it down a little bit for me. My match, I know I did.
274
00:18:34.720 --> 00:18:38.880
I went with Gunther and mustaf Ali. I love the crowd for that
275
00:18:38.920 --> 00:18:42.039
match. I mean, I mean
obviously the main event match. The crowd
276
00:18:42.079 --> 00:18:47.279
was really into it. But mustaf
Ali getting a chance to shine and then
277
00:18:47.359 --> 00:18:51.759
having a great match with Gunther.
He power bombed Gunther for crying out loud.
278
00:18:51.799 --> 00:18:55.039
That was incredible. So I gave
it to Gunther and mustaf Ali for
279
00:18:55.039 --> 00:18:56.279
the for match of the night.
And I was going to mention this at
280
00:18:56.319 --> 00:19:00.599
the top, but I'll mention it
now um off until we recap the show.
281
00:19:00.920 --> 00:19:03.880
These Saudi Arabia shows are just like
a regular wrestling, you know,
282
00:19:04.480 --> 00:19:07.200
premium life event. Now, there
was a period of time where it just
283
00:19:07.200 --> 00:19:10.480
felt like a throwaway. It's like, up, here's the Monsoor match,
284
00:19:11.119 --> 00:19:15.920
here's the legend that the Saudi Arabian
officials want to see. It's Goldberg versus
285
00:19:15.000 --> 00:19:21.759
Undertaker, It's Bray Wyatt versus Goldberger, gets Dax reuniting, It's the Brothers
286
00:19:21.759 --> 00:19:25.400
and Destructions. It's a legit show. Now, dout Trey and Propositivity.
287
00:19:25.440 --> 00:19:27.720
We for giving us a legit show
and not something that's just a throwaway.
288
00:19:29.160 --> 00:19:30.960
Not to mention like a couple of
things. I know. It is like,
289
00:19:30.000 --> 00:19:33.400
hey, they've changed the seatings.
Remember early on they had the big
290
00:19:33.440 --> 00:19:37.839
giant like throne looking chair, they
had like couches. Yeah, yeah,
291
00:19:37.880 --> 00:19:41.200
Now, I mean they look like
a wrestling show at a strip club.
292
00:19:41.480 --> 00:19:45.720
Basically early on it was weird.
It looks more like an actual event.
293
00:19:45.759 --> 00:19:48.920
And then also we're at a point
now they had three women's matches on that
294
00:19:48.960 --> 00:19:52.599
show, like how far has this? How far has w become in Saudi
295
00:19:52.640 --> 00:19:57.319
Arabia to have three women's matches when
we could barely get one early on,
296
00:19:57.400 --> 00:20:00.319
we just had three. It was
fantastic, Yeah, it was. It
297
00:20:00.359 --> 00:20:04.880
was a rat show overall, really
enjoyable, and that takes us to Sunday
298
00:20:04.960 --> 00:20:08.839
Night now. NXE Battleground recap review
of this past Sunny from the Songa Center
299
00:20:08.839 --> 00:20:12.799
in Lowe, Massachusetts. First match
was west Lee defeating Tyler Bit and Joe
300
00:20:12.799 --> 00:20:17.119
Gayzy and a triple threat match to
retain the NXCY North American Championship. We
301
00:20:17.240 --> 00:20:21.759
both at Joe Gacy such an enjoyable
triple threat match. Westlee continues to prove
302
00:20:21.799 --> 00:20:25.119
me wrong during the North American Championship
title rain. I don't think I've picked
303
00:20:25.200 --> 00:20:27.720
him once, suck to try,
and I think I should keep it that
304
00:20:27.759 --> 00:20:33.640
way. I think Westlee, it
would be happy if you stop, if
305
00:20:33.640 --> 00:20:37.079
you just kept not picking him to
win. I'm mad because typically I always
306
00:20:37.079 --> 00:20:41.000
picked Wesley and I didn't because I
thought Joe Gayzy really needed to win.
307
00:20:41.319 --> 00:20:45.119
It was a great I really enjoyed
the match. I don't I don't know
308
00:20:45.119 --> 00:20:48.599
about you. I don't know how
I feel about Tyler Bate right now.
309
00:20:48.640 --> 00:20:51.759
You think about Tyler Bate from now
to four years ago when he won the
310
00:20:51.799 --> 00:20:55.480
first UK title to where he's at
now. I just I don't feel like
311
00:20:55.599 --> 00:20:59.400
he's been elevated like. I don't
think he's any better now than he was
312
00:20:59.519 --> 00:21:02.440
four years In fact, he's probably
a stepped down from where he was,
313
00:21:02.519 --> 00:21:06.000
so that's a little discerning. Although
he does have like the Chris Hemsworth hair
314
00:21:06.160 --> 00:21:08.880
and mustatch thing going on right now, he does, he certainly does.
315
00:21:10.400 --> 00:21:12.759
Next match. There's no I'm Dard
fitting Dragon Lee in a British Rounds Rules
316
00:21:12.759 --> 00:21:17.319
match Retaine the NX Heritage Cup.
I had Dragon lead, doubt Trey and
317
00:21:17.359 --> 00:21:19.640
No i'm Dar. It looks like
No I'm Dar has himself a stable now
318
00:21:19.640 --> 00:21:23.079
and I'm not sure if the British
Rounds Rules match played well to a live
319
00:21:23.240 --> 00:21:26.640
US crowd at Battle Brown. I
did enjoy these matches in Axe UK,
320
00:21:26.799 --> 00:21:30.240
but it didn't seem like the crowd
was enjoying it. Doctor Try. I
321
00:21:30.319 --> 00:21:33.960
don't think the crowd really knew the
rules. You know, we're not like,
322
00:21:33.960 --> 00:21:37.200
we're not accustomed to this stuff.
And although they put it on screen
323
00:21:37.240 --> 00:21:40.680
for the at home audience, I
don't really know if they did that for
324
00:21:40.799 --> 00:21:45.960
the in ring crowd. So,
and they didn't do it on the actual
325
00:21:45.960 --> 00:21:48.759
introductions. So I think this is
one of the things that people are going
326
00:21:48.799 --> 00:21:53.279
to have, much like the all
that the Grand Championship they had an impact
327
00:21:53.400 --> 00:21:56.440
years ago. You know, it's
like it's gonna take a little while for
328
00:21:56.519 --> 00:22:00.240
people to really kind of figure it
out, figure out how it works,
329
00:22:00.359 --> 00:22:03.279
all those things. Because I was
still getting kind of lost because I didn't
330
00:22:03.279 --> 00:22:07.200
really follow it in NXT or in
NXTUK. So even I was like,
331
00:22:07.759 --> 00:22:11.640
wait, so if they get two
falls, it's over, like, but
332
00:22:11.000 --> 00:22:14.799
if it's tied, they don't go
to the route like. It was a
333
00:22:14.799 --> 00:22:18.400
little bit kind of confusing at first, and you know, so I'm still
334
00:22:18.400 --> 00:22:19.279
like, okay, give me another
one, give me another one, and
335
00:22:19.319 --> 00:22:22.039
then once I get the hang of
it, I'll be fine with it.
336
00:22:22.400 --> 00:22:25.319
Yeah, it does take a little
bit. I think they should have done
337
00:22:25.400 --> 00:22:29.000
more of those matches on NXEC television
to get fans ready. To be honest,
338
00:22:29.440 --> 00:22:33.640
I think there's only one, so
yeah, they should have done more
339
00:22:33.640 --> 00:22:37.440
heritage cut matches. Elia dragon offf
defeats Daijack in a last man standy match.
340
00:22:37.480 --> 00:22:41.440
I had Elia dot Trey a Dijack, really good compelling match. I
341
00:22:41.480 --> 00:22:42.920
had a great storytelling him. The
only thing is I wish they had a
342
00:22:42.920 --> 00:22:47.599
little bit more time to play it
out. Eli defeats Daijack Doctor Trey.
343
00:22:48.480 --> 00:22:52.359
Yeah, I really enjoyed this match. Elia Dragonof was one of like polarizing
344
00:22:52.400 --> 00:22:56.839
figures for me when it comes to
wrestling because he's so small, but yet
345
00:22:56.920 --> 00:23:00.920
he's so freaking brutal. Sometimes I'm
like, is that believable? Like,
346
00:23:02.400 --> 00:23:06.799
but he's just so entertaining to watch. Um, I don't know about you.
347
00:23:06.960 --> 00:23:08.400
Like, but when Djack came out
and like pointed out his wife and
348
00:23:08.400 --> 00:23:11.519
his kid and told her to like, hey, he doesn't need they don't
349
00:23:11.519 --> 00:23:15.039
even see this, I was kind
of hoping for an interaction with dragging off
350
00:23:15.079 --> 00:23:18.359
with them. But overall, like
the brutality of this match man was just
351
00:23:19.000 --> 00:23:22.319
second to none, Like those Kendos
stick shots in the corner man, it
352
00:23:22.480 --> 00:23:26.599
was killer, so I really enjoyed
it. I you know, five more
353
00:23:26.640 --> 00:23:30.079
minutes of it maybe would have paid
off a little bit more. But overall,
354
00:23:30.119 --> 00:23:33.640
man, it was a really really
fun match to watch and just super
355
00:23:33.640 --> 00:23:37.359
brutal. Next matches Gallasafeed and the
Creed Brothers to retain an exec Tag Team
356
00:23:37.440 --> 00:23:41.079
championship by the Gallast trade the Creed
Brothers solid tag match. I would have
357
00:23:41.119 --> 00:23:45.359
preferred a different finish than av attack
in Ivy Now Nile to distract the Creed
358
00:23:45.400 --> 00:23:49.720
Brothers leading to the loss, but
they did follow it up on NXEC television
359
00:23:51.200 --> 00:23:56.319
the next two nights, Tuesday Night, Gallasafeeds the Creeds out to try.
360
00:23:56.839 --> 00:23:59.759
Yeah, this is this is my
Westley thing. I'm not picking the Creeds
361
00:23:59.759 --> 00:24:03.960
any more. So ye welcome,
welcome to the club. Yeah. Just
362
00:24:03.039 --> 00:24:06.559
when I get on board with them, then they let me down. So
363
00:24:07.319 --> 00:24:08.640
but I do love Gallas. I
mean, Gallas reminds me of some of
364
00:24:08.680 --> 00:24:11.640
these indie tag teams I see out
there, because they don't look like your
365
00:24:11.680 --> 00:24:15.279
prototypical WW wrestlers. They just two
big, strong, tough guys that just
366
00:24:15.319 --> 00:24:19.400
beat the crap out each other.
I mean, watching that match, I
367
00:24:19.400 --> 00:24:23.079
mean those belly of bellies that Julius
was throwing. I'm like, you were
368
00:24:23.079 --> 00:24:26.000
not getting a Suplex City reference here, nothing like that. Like he was
369
00:24:26.039 --> 00:24:30.000
just tossing those boys around. And
that's why I was kind disappointing to finish,
370
00:24:30.039 --> 00:24:33.319
because I was like, man,
you made Julius look like a star.
371
00:24:33.359 --> 00:24:34.759
But then he's the one who took
the pin that took the pinfall loss.
372
00:24:34.839 --> 00:24:38.160
So um wasn't It wasn't a great
fan of the Fish, but the
373
00:24:38.160 --> 00:24:41.680
match itself was fine and really fun
to watch. And um Like, I'm
374
00:24:41.680 --> 00:24:45.119
a huge fan of the Crane,
but I'm just not gonna pick them anytime
375
00:24:45.160 --> 00:24:49.000
soon. Welcome MAT's how I feel
about Wesley. Um, I just completely
376
00:24:49.000 --> 00:24:53.960
whiff on all that. Next matches
Triffany Strat Tiffany Stratton defeating and liar Lyler
377
00:24:55.160 --> 00:25:00.440
Valka VALKILLERI jeez, I can't even
say this one. Tiffany Stratton defeating Lyra
378
00:25:00.640 --> 00:25:03.440
Valkyrie in the tournament final to win
the Vaca Anexy Women's Championship. We both
379
00:25:03.440 --> 00:25:07.640
had Tiffany Stratton. The crowd seemed
really into this match and or Tiffany.
380
00:25:08.240 --> 00:25:11.759
I thought the match was fine and
while the Tiffany Stretton character is definitely there.
381
00:25:12.160 --> 00:25:15.519
The in ring work is still a
step or two behind. If she
382
00:25:15.519 --> 00:25:18.440
could put that all together, she'll
be a force in WWE for some time.
383
00:25:18.839 --> 00:25:22.960
It kind of reminds me of how
Jade Cargill has been in AW where
384
00:25:22.000 --> 00:25:27.039
you can see the potential but the
in ring work is just not there yet,
385
00:25:27.880 --> 00:25:32.519
your thoughts ought to try. Yeah, it's it's one of those things.
386
00:25:32.640 --> 00:25:36.240
So I mean, this is the
w blueprint. Now, it's the
387
00:25:36.359 --> 00:25:40.079
Charlotte Flair, It's the Mandy Roadside
blueprint for Tiffany Stretton. They love their
388
00:25:40.119 --> 00:25:45.000
beautiful blonde bombshells. Like, I
thought the match was okay, but this
389
00:25:45.079 --> 00:25:48.000
goes to show that Tiffany needs a
good dance partner. Like you go back
390
00:25:48.000 --> 00:25:52.519
and watch that match with Rock Samperez
and she looks fantastic, and Lyra's maybe
391
00:25:52.519 --> 00:25:56.759
a step below where Rock sands at
and you can see it in the match.
392
00:25:56.359 --> 00:25:59.599
Plus like a couple those spots.
I just like, I don't think
393
00:25:59.640 --> 00:26:02.640
they're done it before, and it
just looked like they've never done it before.
394
00:26:03.079 --> 00:26:07.039
But I think the choice of putting
the title on Tiffany makes the most
395
00:26:07.079 --> 00:26:10.599
sense because she's the most likely person
to be booed by the fans at some
396
00:26:10.680 --> 00:26:12.920
point. Just you know, they
like if if they could start a new
397
00:26:12.960 --> 00:26:18.519
BFFs, Like, I'd be on
board with it. Yeah. You were
398
00:26:18.559 --> 00:26:22.319
a couple of people with who was
that summer Ray and Sasha Banks? Right
399
00:26:22.720 --> 00:26:27.200
the summer Sasha and then Charlish right
yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
400
00:26:27.200 --> 00:26:32.319
that was a great early NXT on
Dodoy Network group. Um yeah,
401
00:26:32.319 --> 00:26:36.960
they got to do something. And
did you did you watch Tuesday's NXC No?
402
00:26:37.720 --> 00:26:41.400
I had to work, so yeah
that sucks the working thing. You
403
00:26:41.440 --> 00:26:45.400
know, you gotta pay the bills. Tiffany Stratton's promo not good. I
404
00:26:45.799 --> 00:26:51.839
yeah, and in ring live promos
have not been great. Behind the scenes
405
00:26:52.720 --> 00:26:57.640
interviews with Mackenzie Mitchell or Vignette very
good. The in Rings it's almost like
406
00:26:57.680 --> 00:27:02.440
she's lost track of like what she's
supposed to say at times, Like it's
407
00:27:02.440 --> 00:27:07.359
these weird breaks in between. It's
it's the Jade Cargill effect for me.
408
00:27:07.359 --> 00:27:08.799
In doctory, It's like, you
know, this girl could be a star.
409
00:27:10.279 --> 00:27:12.480
It's just she's got to put it
all together here soon. I mean
410
00:27:12.519 --> 00:27:18.839
she's been she's only been in the
business less than what two years? And
411
00:27:18.839 --> 00:27:22.160
and I don't know who teaches promo
class in WW but we don't have a
412
00:27:22.200 --> 00:27:25.720
Dusty Rhodes there anymore, no,
you know, like that was I mean.
413
00:27:25.759 --> 00:27:29.000
And some people are just naturally gifted
and talented and some people they really
414
00:27:29.000 --> 00:27:32.799
have to work at it. And
I think she I think when and I've
415
00:27:32.799 --> 00:27:36.319
knows in her live promos like she
tends to focus on one subject line that
416
00:27:36.359 --> 00:27:37.519
she knows she has a nail,
but she will say it like three or
417
00:27:37.519 --> 00:27:41.440
four times and it just like,
yeah, we get the point, and
418
00:27:41.519 --> 00:27:44.000
Jade does kind of the same thing, you know, and then when once
419
00:27:44.000 --> 00:27:47.359
that point gets out there, they
go all right, now what you know,
420
00:27:47.400 --> 00:27:49.680
it just kind of comes off like
they're like deer in headlights. But
421
00:27:49.680 --> 00:27:52.400
then again, she's she's a blonde, so maybe she just forgets her lines.
422
00:27:52.440 --> 00:27:56.200
I don't know. And finally the
main event, Carmel Hayes defeats Broun
423
00:27:56.240 --> 00:28:00.640
Breaker just retain the NXC Championship.
We both Carmelo Hayes good back and forth
424
00:28:00.680 --> 00:28:04.079
physical match. Carmelo need this win. It continues show he is for real
425
00:28:04.160 --> 00:28:08.000
as the NXC champion. Be interest
to see what's next for braun Breaker Doctor
426
00:28:08.000 --> 00:28:12.720
Trey Carmela defeats Braun. M Yeah, I'm trying to figure out who's the
427
00:28:12.759 --> 00:28:18.119
free agent that they can bring down. I don't know. I mean Braun
428
00:28:18.160 --> 00:28:21.640
and Dragon off. I think that'd
be fun, I'd be interesting. I
429
00:28:21.640 --> 00:28:25.200
don't know. It is is kind
of one of those things where like where
430
00:28:25.200 --> 00:28:26.599
do you go with him? Do
you decide to move him to the main
431
00:28:26.720 --> 00:28:30.759
roster heading in the SummerSlam and they
can be kind of an attraction like debuting,
432
00:28:32.400 --> 00:28:33.759
or do you keep him an exc
longer. I think he's proven that
433
00:28:33.839 --> 00:28:37.599
he can be a heel and a
baby face. It's just where do they
434
00:28:37.599 --> 00:28:41.240
see him as a good fit going
forward? Because you land him on on
435
00:28:41.279 --> 00:28:45.799
Monday, I mean you land him
on SmackDown. You know, now,
436
00:28:45.799 --> 00:28:48.160
this is the guy that can physically
match up with Roman. If you decide
437
00:28:48.200 --> 00:28:51.039
to go that way, you put
him on Raw, he can physically match
438
00:28:51.119 --> 00:28:55.400
up with Gunther for the Innerconhel title. Like, you can go either way
439
00:28:55.440 --> 00:28:57.000
with him, just depends on what's
the best fit. Or you can leave
440
00:28:57.039 --> 00:29:00.839
him an exte for more seasoning as
a heel and then try to, you
441
00:29:00.880 --> 00:29:03.640
know, rebuild him back up to
be another threat. Because now he's owing
442
00:29:03.680 --> 00:29:07.279
two against Carmelo, did we interest
in what happens with Braun next because because
443
00:29:07.279 --> 00:29:11.599
I don't know, because that's always
the weird thing about NXC. These former
444
00:29:11.680 --> 00:29:15.920
champions. They reach a point where
they have the final match for the title,
445
00:29:15.000 --> 00:29:18.920
they lose, and then it's like, well, did they get called
446
00:29:18.000 --> 00:29:22.599
up? Does he go raw or
SmackDown? They just had the draft?
447
00:29:22.599 --> 00:29:23.839
Does he say an NXC? If
he does, what do you do with
448
00:29:23.920 --> 00:29:30.359
him? So interesting times for Braun. Carmelo has somebody that wants to vie
449
00:29:30.480 --> 00:29:33.680
for his NXC championship, Dot Trey. As the close of NXC television.
450
00:29:33.680 --> 00:29:37.119
Since you did not watch, I
will fill you in, and I think
451
00:29:37.319 --> 00:29:42.200
you're sitting down to hear this.
But Baron Corban made his NXC to return
452
00:29:42.319 --> 00:29:47.480
the free agent and he took out
Carmelo Hayes to close out this week's edition
453
00:29:47.480 --> 00:29:51.400
of NXC Television. After Carmelo retained
against no Am Daring the main event,
454
00:29:52.200 --> 00:29:56.519
Baron Corban Carmelo Hayes. I guess
I could get down with that. Now
455
00:29:56.519 --> 00:30:00.599
you're going to fill me in.
Now is this happy urban Baron Corban or
456
00:30:00.599 --> 00:30:06.119
a lone wolf Baron Corbin? It
it looks like it's just Baron Corbin.
457
00:30:07.400 --> 00:30:11.200
I guess, no gimmicks, No
gimmicks, Baron Corbin, no gimmicks.
458
00:30:11.240 --> 00:30:15.039
Yeah, there's your Chris Candido reference. I make it full. Yeah,
459
00:30:15.119 --> 00:30:19.359
you know I I do. I
don't mind the Baron Corbin moved down because
460
00:30:19.359 --> 00:30:23.680
he kind of needs to get out
of the main It's kind of the same
461
00:30:23.680 --> 00:30:27.279
thing with the Lias, Like he's
been buried and beating so much on the
462
00:30:27.279 --> 00:30:30.400
main roster. Like, hey,
maybe get him out of sight, out
463
00:30:30.440 --> 00:30:34.880
of mind for a while, try
something different, whatever it is. Uh,
464
00:30:36.000 --> 00:30:38.359
just don't make Baron have a brother
that we didn't know about. That's
465
00:30:38.400 --> 00:30:41.680
a twin. I'll be fine with
that as well. Um, it's it's
466
00:30:42.359 --> 00:30:45.960
and we've seen it work a little
bit for Apollo. We've seen it work
467
00:30:45.000 --> 00:30:52.759
in the past with you know,
Cesarro and uh t or Tyson kid Like
468
00:30:52.799 --> 00:30:55.480
we've seen these work. You know, we saw with Finn Balor. It
469
00:30:55.599 --> 00:30:57.680
worked with Finn. So it's a
chance to kind of get out of the
470
00:30:57.680 --> 00:31:00.680
eye. Get he said, because
in a lossie, Baron Corbyn's one of
471
00:31:00.720 --> 00:31:06.160
the best heels in professional wrestling.
It's just that right now he's kind of
472
00:31:06.240 --> 00:31:08.839
missed where nobody takes him seriously as
a credible threat. To win a match,
473
00:31:08.920 --> 00:31:12.000
and somehow you have to change that
narrative in order for him to be
474
00:31:12.000 --> 00:31:17.599
successful again. I went four and
two, Doctor went Frame three coming out
475
00:31:17.640 --> 00:31:22.920
of a forty seven and seventeen tray
forty two and twenty two Match of the
476
00:31:22.039 --> 00:31:26.559
Night event rating. I gave NXC
Battleground a three point five. My match
477
00:31:26.559 --> 00:31:30.440
to night was Wesley Tyler, Bate, Joe Gacy, Doctor Trey, What
478
00:31:30.519 --> 00:31:34.079
say you? I was three point
six. My match to night was Gallus
479
00:31:34.079 --> 00:31:38.799
and the Creed Brothers. Because that
Julius Creed, I I'm sold on him
480
00:31:38.799 --> 00:31:41.839
like that Dud's gonna be sorry.
And I told you man, I know,
481
00:31:41.960 --> 00:31:45.480
and I like Bruce. My only
issue Bruce is he needs a facial
482
00:31:45.519 --> 00:31:48.039
hair because he looks like he's an
overgrown thirteen year old bold ring. Sure
483
00:31:48.240 --> 00:31:52.599
he does. He does from like
Ohio or Iowa or something. Maybe they
484
00:31:52.640 --> 00:31:56.799
are from Iowa, I don't know. And then finally, aw dolla or
485
00:31:56.799 --> 00:32:00.920
nothing. Recap and review this past
sign from the T Mobile Arena and Nevada.
486
00:32:00.960 --> 00:32:04.039
I guess before we get into this
dive of Trey lots stuff going on
487
00:32:04.079 --> 00:32:07.119
social media. We mentioned this a
couple of weeks ago when we were talking
488
00:32:07.160 --> 00:32:12.839
about all In in the UK.
I was perplexed because all in the UK
489
00:32:13.039 --> 00:32:17.400
was selling Gangbusters sixty five thousand tickets
have been sold at this point, and
490
00:32:17.440 --> 00:32:22.880
then Doublore Nothing was having a really
tough time with their ticket sales, like
491
00:32:22.039 --> 00:32:27.000
it was like six hundred and sixty
in a three week span that were like
492
00:32:27.119 --> 00:32:32.039
sold by Brandon Thurston of Russell Nomics. And then you saw the pictures online.
493
00:32:32.079 --> 00:32:35.400
I don't know if you saw them
do Trey, but lots of empty
494
00:32:35.440 --> 00:32:40.119
seats just really disappointing to see because
you know, we want aw to thrive,
495
00:32:40.240 --> 00:32:44.400
but that was not a good look
at all, and I do believe
496
00:32:44.440 --> 00:32:46.839
it's reflective of what they've been put
on their television over the last three months.
497
00:32:47.480 --> 00:32:51.960
Well, it's also Vegas. I
mean in Vegas one of the hardest
498
00:32:51.960 --> 00:32:53.960
cities of drawing because you have so
much competition. I mean you got to
499
00:32:53.960 --> 00:33:00.000
think about I mean WW backed out
of the Allegiant Building Stadium. Yeah with
500
00:33:00.160 --> 00:33:05.200
the Raiders play. You know,
to me, I think you can put
501
00:33:05.279 --> 00:33:08.519
Vegas in Miami in the same category
when it comes to professional wrestling, where
502
00:33:08.519 --> 00:33:12.400
it's like, yeah, if it's
the only thing going on in town that
503
00:33:12.519 --> 00:33:14.799
night, it'll do a good crowd, but it's Italy. The crowds just
504
00:33:14.839 --> 00:33:19.519
aren't into it. They're not that
they're just kind of passive, you know,
505
00:33:20.359 --> 00:33:22.720
Los Angeles and we do like the
Staples Centers occasionally. He's kind of
506
00:33:22.720 --> 00:33:30.160
like that too. Some of these
like tourist attraction towns don't really draw well.
507
00:33:30.200 --> 00:33:32.920
You need kind of those blue collar
kind of cities for the crowds to
508
00:33:32.960 --> 00:33:36.720
really get behind him. So I
put I put some the blame, as
509
00:33:36.920 --> 00:33:39.559
you know once again, and the
T Mobile Center they help our mouths.
510
00:33:39.599 --> 00:33:43.000
And you're going to tell me the
T Mobile Center can only draw six and
511
00:33:43.000 --> 00:33:45.039
sixty people, like there's some other
things going on there, But I really
512
00:33:45.039 --> 00:33:50.359
think it's just Vegas on a Memorial
Day weekend more than anything else. Just
513
00:33:50.400 --> 00:33:53.079
to be clear, it wasn't six
hundred and sixty people in attendance oh sold
514
00:33:53.160 --> 00:33:55.440
you know, yeah, over like
a three week span. It was very
515
00:33:55.519 --> 00:34:00.279
very small numbers. First match,
you were somebody buying the hard He's in
516
00:34:00.319 --> 00:34:02.240
Hook defeat Ethan Page and the Guns
in a six man tag team match.
517
00:34:02.759 --> 00:34:07.440
Would the win Matt Hardy owns Ethan
Page's contract. We both had the Hardies
518
00:34:07.480 --> 00:34:09.400
in Hook solid opener and start the
show. They will be forever one of
519
00:34:09.440 --> 00:34:13.719
the best, but you can start
to see that time is catching him to
520
00:34:13.760 --> 00:34:16.760
the hardies. Unfortunately, Doctor try
Yeah, so does this mean that Ethan
521
00:34:16.840 --> 00:34:22.360
Page is in an indentured servants Like, I don't really know what a good
522
00:34:22.360 --> 00:34:24.960
guy owns the bad guy's contract.
I don't really know what they're gonna have
523
00:34:25.000 --> 00:34:27.840
him do. Is he gonna be
like put him in the French made out
524
00:34:27.880 --> 00:34:30.920
but the hardy compound? I don't
know. They didn't follow up it on
525
00:34:30.000 --> 00:34:36.199
Wednesday's Dynamite. I guess maybe Friday's
rampage, which was unfortunate. Yeah,
526
00:34:36.280 --> 00:34:37.559
shocking. They don't follow up on
that, but they'll put Hook in the
527
00:34:37.639 --> 00:34:40.079
rain to get beat up by the
embassy, to have Jungle Boy make the
528
00:34:40.119 --> 00:34:45.119
say, hey, you got to
reunite Junkle hook Man. Next match,
529
00:34:45.239 --> 00:34:50.920
just Orange Cassidy to retain the aw
International Championship and a twenty one man Blackjack
530
00:34:50.960 --> 00:34:54.320
Battle Royal. I had Orange Cassidy
on last week's show. We went back
531
00:34:54.360 --> 00:34:57.320
and forth. I was like,
I think Powerhouse Hobbs is in it.
532
00:34:57.400 --> 00:35:01.719
He wasn't, so I did give
Doctor the field. Nonetheless, Orange Cassidy
533
00:35:01.760 --> 00:35:07.440
did retain. Battle Royals can sometimes
be very formula lake and unoriginal, but
534
00:35:07.480 --> 00:35:09.320
I felt like this Battle Royal was
not that, and I really enjoyed the
535
00:35:09.360 --> 00:35:14.320
finishing minutes with Sweve Strickling and Orange
Cassidy. Orange Cassidy remains one of the
536
00:35:14.360 --> 00:35:16.360
best champions in all of russ In
Right now, Dot, trade your thoughts
537
00:35:16.400 --> 00:35:21.079
on the twenty one man Blackshack Battle
Royal. By the way, I love
538
00:35:21.159 --> 00:35:24.480
swerves look with kind of the cross
of being a rapper and then also being
539
00:35:25.039 --> 00:35:29.639
embassy. Look like it's like he's
a terrorist hip hop star. I love
540
00:35:29.679 --> 00:35:32.280
that look for some reason. Yeah, I mean for a Battle Royal.
541
00:35:32.320 --> 00:35:35.880
I enjoyed it. I love the
finish. The finish, the little half
542
00:35:35.960 --> 00:35:40.400
kick to take Swerve out was great. So it's just to me, I'm
543
00:35:40.440 --> 00:35:45.119
looking at going like we you have
to build like Swerve. Is Swerve really
544
00:35:45.360 --> 00:35:50.159
like the only credible challenger right now
for the international title? Like I love
545
00:35:50.159 --> 00:35:53.559
Orange Cassidy, I love the run, but you've got to learn to build
546
00:35:53.719 --> 00:35:58.159
the next level of challengers. I
don't think they really do that very well.
547
00:35:58.199 --> 00:36:01.159
For the undercards to speak, I
think actually Swerve could be the guy
548
00:36:01.159 --> 00:36:06.400
that stops the rain. Dot try
they're facing off at Wednesday's Dynamite. I'm
549
00:36:06.440 --> 00:36:08.880
a fan of Swerve right now.
I've enjoyed his run as of late.
550
00:36:09.519 --> 00:36:12.880
Yeah, I agree, Like,
if you're going to pull the trigger,
551
00:36:12.920 --> 00:36:15.960
now's the time. Um. Plus, apparently we're just gonna start by the
552
00:36:15.960 --> 00:36:19.760
way, you go back to a
jungle hook. Why we can't do hook
553
00:36:19.800 --> 00:36:24.599
boys, hook boys? Hook hooker
boys? Maybe hooker boys? Yeah?
554
00:36:25.000 --> 00:36:30.559
Tweet Tony con that against the gass
Boys the hooker Boys. Adam Cole defeats
555
00:36:30.599 --> 00:36:35.519
Chris Jericho in an unsanctioned match with
Sabo is the special guest enforcer with both
556
00:36:35.519 --> 00:36:38.239
at Adam Cole, I felt like
this match was a little bit underwhelming and
557
00:36:38.239 --> 00:36:42.239
disappointing at some good moments, but
overall felt like it missed the mark since
558
00:36:42.280 --> 00:36:45.360
there were high helps for the match
and it felt like the crowd lost interest
559
00:36:45.400 --> 00:36:49.519
as the match went on. To
have no idea why Sabo was even announced
560
00:36:49.519 --> 00:36:52.199
for this match, because he was
in it for like less than five minutes
561
00:36:52.239 --> 00:36:55.519
and then wasn't a special guest enforcer. Very strange, but Adam Cole got
562
00:36:55.519 --> 00:37:00.039
the victory Dutch tray, he went
through a table, he did, he
563
00:37:00.119 --> 00:37:02.920
did, God bless him. So
that's all the like Tony Goil everything,
564
00:37:04.000 --> 00:37:05.920
Tony con said, Hey, we'll
pay you some money to go through a
565
00:37:06.000 --> 00:37:09.840
table. I don't know how I
feel about this match because I didn't hate
566
00:37:09.880 --> 00:37:14.360
it, I didn't love it,
and then I don't know. I almost
567
00:37:14.360 --> 00:37:16.800
feel bad for Chris Jericho right now
because it just seems like he's in I'm
568
00:37:16.800 --> 00:37:20.480
gonna help, which is not a
bad thing. We've talked about Jericho being
569
00:37:20.559 --> 00:37:23.639
in women one of the ultimate soldiers
in professional wrestling, Like he's like right
570
00:37:23.679 --> 00:37:29.440
now, he's just trying to help
get everybody else over. But I feel
571
00:37:29.480 --> 00:37:32.039
like he's so far down the food
chains, like a credible world title challenger.
572
00:37:32.400 --> 00:37:37.119
I still think you need him upper
of the card and still stealing wins
573
00:37:37.159 --> 00:37:40.039
to help keep that just in case
you need to pull that trigger again.
574
00:37:40.119 --> 00:37:44.079
So like, I'm happy with the
match, and Adam Cole needs it because
575
00:37:44.079 --> 00:37:45.519
he's just he's back in dude,
I just kind of feel bad for Jericho.
576
00:37:46.679 --> 00:37:49.920
Yeah, Well, I don't know. I don't know how you can
577
00:37:49.960 --> 00:37:52.719
feel bad for Jericho sometimes, man. I mean he's there to put over
578
00:37:52.840 --> 00:37:57.880
guys, right yeah, and that's
he's done that for the last you know,
579
00:37:58.480 --> 00:38:00.960
five years, six years, not
just this AUW time, but even
580
00:38:01.000 --> 00:38:04.239
at the end of his WW run, he was guying there just to help
581
00:38:04.280 --> 00:38:07.440
put guys over, So that's kind
of his job now at this point,
582
00:38:07.480 --> 00:38:08.880
though, I know, I think
he takes pride in it. I think
583
00:38:08.880 --> 00:38:12.440
he takes pride. I do.
I agree. I guess you're right.
584
00:38:12.519 --> 00:38:14.800
I don't know if I feel sorry
for him. I just I love when
585
00:38:14.800 --> 00:38:17.880
the Jericho characters at the top of
the card. Although this was a great
586
00:38:17.920 --> 00:38:22.920
featured match, I like when Jericho's
in the title picture just because he's so
587
00:38:22.000 --> 00:38:27.239
much fun to watch and so much
fun to listen to. FTR defeats Jeff
588
00:38:27.320 --> 00:38:30.000
Jarret and Jay Lethal to retain the
end of a AW World Tag Team Champion,
589
00:38:30.000 --> 00:38:34.480
with Mark Briscoes a specially guest referee. Both at FTR solid match.
590
00:38:34.519 --> 00:38:37.360
I enjoyed the dynamical Mark brisco Is
the referee, and I enjoyed it.
591
00:38:37.440 --> 00:38:39.000
I did enjoy how this feud played
out. It was good stuff. FTR
592
00:38:39.119 --> 00:38:44.320
retains Yeah, and any Like we
said earlier, it's hard to believe that
593
00:38:45.079 --> 00:38:49.000
the two guys challenging for this match
were the two guys fighting Rick Flair his
594
00:38:49.119 --> 00:38:52.039
last match. Yeah, it's just
it's like, Wow, that's really kind
595
00:38:52.039 --> 00:38:55.199
of how we've come through this so
far. But I enjoyed it, and
596
00:38:55.360 --> 00:38:59.239
you know, like we talked about
last week's show, like Jeff Jarret's damn
597
00:38:59.239 --> 00:39:00.920
near national track meleasure to be as
old as he is and still perform at
598
00:39:00.960 --> 00:39:07.239
that lovely was tastic. You know, like, I really don't think with
599
00:39:07.320 --> 00:39:09.440
these four guys and then Adam Mark
Bresco, you can really have a bad
600
00:39:09.440 --> 00:39:15.039
match because there's ultimate professionals when it
comes to they're wrestling. Wardlow defeats Christian
601
00:39:15.079 --> 00:39:19.559
Cage in a ladder match retain AWT
and T Championship with Christian create Cage g
602
00:39:19.639 --> 00:39:22.760
in the victory. Good match,
Swanton bomb table spot was insane. Arn
603
00:39:22.840 --> 00:39:29.400
Anderson biting Luca's source's thumb was bad. Strange trend at this point with outside
604
00:39:29.440 --> 00:39:35.760
interference and influence in several double or
nothing matches. We saw interference in Adam
605
00:39:35.840 --> 00:39:39.119
Cole and Chris Jericho FTR and Jeff
Jarrett, and then they did it again
606
00:39:39.199 --> 00:39:46.000
with Wardlow and Christian Cage doctor Trey
what aw using outside interference and matches No,
607
00:39:46.599 --> 00:39:51.280
Like, look, there are times
I feel like I'm watching WCW at
608
00:39:51.320 --> 00:39:53.440
the end of their run like there's
some stuff going on where my guys,
609
00:39:53.480 --> 00:39:58.639
you just did outside interference three matches
in a row and we haven't even talked
610
00:39:58.679 --> 00:40:01.760
about the main of it yet.
So is It's like, can't we just
611
00:40:01.960 --> 00:40:06.880
like these the fans always talk about
they want clean finishes, they want wrestling,
612
00:40:06.920 --> 00:40:10.239
and they want true victors, and
yet we have all of these outside
613
00:40:10.239 --> 00:40:15.360
interference run in spots to make everybody
still look strong and nobody loses cleanly.
614
00:40:15.480 --> 00:40:20.039
But it's super indie wrestling at times. Speaking of which, Tony Storm defeats
615
00:40:20.119 --> 00:40:23.039
Jamie Hayder to win the AWE Women's
World Championship. We both had Tony Storm
616
00:40:23.079 --> 00:40:28.199
not a great match, lots of
again outside interference and influence. Again,
617
00:40:29.159 --> 00:40:30.920
felt like this was booked to right
Jamie Hayder off due to her injury.
618
00:40:31.000 --> 00:40:35.360
If so, props to Jamie if
you're getting it out despite battling her.
619
00:40:35.800 --> 00:40:38.800
Tony Storm is the new aw Women's
World Champion. Doctor try yeah, and
620
00:40:39.039 --> 00:40:44.639
maybe the least known person in the
outcasts. It's like, really, okay,
621
00:40:45.199 --> 00:40:46.360
I mean, if you ask the
casual, if you put I think
622
00:40:46.360 --> 00:40:50.679
it would be Ruby soho. I
gotta be honest. I think she had
623
00:40:50.719 --> 00:40:53.840
more main time on WWE. So
and if you ask, just if you
624
00:40:53.880 --> 00:40:59.840
put the pictures out of the Stormers
age, that's Ruby Riot, that's Tony's
625
00:41:00.119 --> 00:41:05.119
fair fair fair yep, I would
look h to me this This should have
626
00:41:05.159 --> 00:41:09.119
been a Sorea spot, like if
you're trying to set things up because you
627
00:41:09.199 --> 00:41:13.760
know we'll get into another match later, Like, I like, is she
628
00:41:13.960 --> 00:41:16.039
to the challenger? Is because Baker
looks like she's tied up with Sorea?
629
00:41:16.199 --> 00:41:20.159
Like is she to the next challenger
for Tony Storm? Like? Is that
630
00:41:20.239 --> 00:41:23.320
where we're going? And if so, haven't we kind of already seen Sheta
631
00:41:23.440 --> 00:41:27.920
in this title picture? And is
Rio missing? Do we need to put
632
00:41:27.960 --> 00:41:30.159
out like a milk carton for her? Like? Where at the hell is
633
00:41:30.280 --> 00:41:32.719
Rio? She's been that way since
the pandemic. Yeah, it's like she's
634
00:41:32.800 --> 00:41:37.480
here for a little bit, She's
not. House of Black defeat The Acclaimed
635
00:41:37.480 --> 00:41:40.840
and Billy Gunn in a open house
rules match or retained the aw Trio's championship.
636
00:41:40.840 --> 00:41:44.599
We did not put through this match
as it was not announced when we
637
00:41:44.760 --> 00:41:47.559
recorded. Match started slow but picked
up towards the middle fun match. The
638
00:41:47.639 --> 00:41:52.159
open house rules match presentation is really
simple but great visually. House of Black
639
00:41:52.239 --> 00:41:55.480
retained actor try. Yeah. I
was confused at first when they said House
640
00:41:55.519 --> 00:41:59.199
of Black ants and open house rules, I was like, are they are
641
00:41:59.239 --> 00:42:01.440
they selling? Their house? Is
the House of Black up for sale?
642
00:42:01.559 --> 00:42:05.559
And if you ever been to an
open house, they usually have snacks and
643
00:42:05.599 --> 00:42:09.760
there was no snacks but fun match
and the entire time all I can think
644
00:42:09.760 --> 00:42:14.519
about is Buddy Murphy data Alexa Bliss, and now he's dating Rhea Ripley,
645
00:42:14.639 --> 00:42:17.800
Like apparently that man has no type
because those are total opposite ends of the
646
00:42:17.840 --> 00:42:22.559
spectrum. But kudos to Buddy and
Murphy for his love life as well.
647
00:42:22.920 --> 00:42:28.320
Jade Cargill defeats Tie of Valka retain
the to retain the awtb's Championship. We
648
00:42:28.400 --> 00:42:30.599
both had Jade Cargill matches a bit
of a cluster. If Jay can put
649
00:42:30.679 --> 00:42:35.360
it together, she would be one
of the biggest women wrestling stars in the
650
00:42:35.519 --> 00:42:38.480
game today. It does feel like
she may have plateaued in ring wise though
651
00:42:38.639 --> 00:42:43.440
Dutch trade. Jade Cargill retained in
mismatch. Yeah, Like, if she
652
00:42:43.519 --> 00:42:45.639
can ever put together, she'd be
the African American trailer flair, Like she
653
00:42:45.760 --> 00:42:50.039
has all the athleticism to look at
the charisma everything. If she can ever
654
00:42:50.119 --> 00:42:55.119
just put it together, it'd be
great. Just once again. This kind
655
00:42:55.119 --> 00:43:00.199
of it kind of felt like crappy
for Tia because it's the Athena, it's
656
00:43:00.239 --> 00:43:04.239
the Ruby, soho. It's like, you get these big stars to come
657
00:43:04.280 --> 00:43:06.960
in to help la a j but
then what do you do with him after?
658
00:43:07.119 --> 00:43:09.639
And I don't know about you.
I was totally confused by taias staring
659
00:43:09.639 --> 00:43:13.360
at the TV on Dynamite. It
was totally confused. She's mad at the
660
00:43:13.599 --> 00:43:16.079
person who wins the next match.
I want to get right into it.
661
00:43:16.400 --> 00:43:20.599
Yeah, go right into it.
Chris stat Landard feats Jade Cargill to win
662
00:43:20.800 --> 00:43:23.960
the AWTBS Championship. We did not
predict that. Obviously, nice surprise to
663
00:43:24.000 --> 00:43:28.199
see Chris stat Lander back from injury, but even sweeter to see her defeat
664
00:43:28.280 --> 00:43:32.199
Jade Cargill to win the AWTVS Championship
in a imprompt to match. Stan leanderd
665
00:43:32.199 --> 00:43:36.679
has gone through a lot the last
two years with multiple torn ACL injuries,
666
00:43:37.000 --> 00:43:38.800
and it's nice to see her get
some gold in a return as she deserves
667
00:43:38.840 --> 00:43:43.639
that. This also protects Jade Carter
Giles, she finally lost in an imprompt
668
00:43:43.719 --> 00:43:46.719
two match rather than it was booked
in advance, and I thought the streak
669
00:43:46.800 --> 00:43:50.360
was a little bit stale because I
just felt like fans didn't believe in it.
670
00:43:50.760 --> 00:43:53.800
Chris stat Lanard is the new TBS
champion Dodger Try. Yeah, totally
671
00:43:53.840 --> 00:43:59.639
happy for Chris dat Lander. Like, I thought it was a good move
672
00:43:59.679 --> 00:44:06.480
because that helped elevate another young talent
that is similar to Jade and Tia and
673
00:44:06.840 --> 00:44:10.400
build an athleticism. I do miss
the alien gimmick full disclosure. I like
674
00:44:10.559 --> 00:44:16.440
the booping, but like you said, it's say it spares Jade, it
675
00:44:16.599 --> 00:44:21.639
elevates stat Lander, and then,
like I said, like Tie is mad
676
00:44:21.719 --> 00:44:25.519
because she lost, but the next
person one, Like you're making Tie a
677
00:44:25.800 --> 00:44:30.519
heel out of this, Like that
part of I think the probably the storyline
678
00:44:30.599 --> 00:44:34.159
is that Tie a soft and drop
for Christallander. Right, yeah, but
679
00:44:34.199 --> 00:44:39.920
then you're automatically turning a brand new
person heel because of her losing. Like
680
00:44:40.039 --> 00:44:45.239
it's like you haven't the crowd Like
if if you turn her, the crowd
681
00:44:45.320 --> 00:44:47.280
doesn't care because they haven't had time
to invest in her one lay or the
682
00:44:47.360 --> 00:44:52.000
other. So that's why I don't
like that angle going forward, because you're
683
00:44:52.039 --> 00:44:54.079
going to turn her and you're not
going to get a reaction out of it.
684
00:44:54.800 --> 00:44:58.679
I do you feel like tie is
a much better heel than a much
685
00:44:58.719 --> 00:45:02.320
better heal in a baby face?
Yes? I agree. Next match here
686
00:45:02.519 --> 00:45:07.360
is MJF defeating Sama Cavara, Darby
Allen, and jungle Boy Jack Perry in
687
00:45:07.480 --> 00:45:09.840
a four way match to retain the
AW World Championship with both at MJF.
688
00:45:10.280 --> 00:45:13.960
Really good fatal four away match.
Loved a lot of spots in this match,
689
00:45:14.079 --> 00:45:16.079
from all three guys team up early
on to take out MJF, to
690
00:45:16.199 --> 00:45:20.280
the tribute to the mentors, to
Jungle Boy toying with using the AW World
691
00:45:20.360 --> 00:45:24.159
Championship as a weapon to the finish
that made so much sense with mjf's character
692
00:45:24.800 --> 00:45:30.599
with the belt on top of jungle
Boy, the when Darby was doing the
693
00:45:30.639 --> 00:45:37.039
Cascad drop and then doing the head
lock takeover a nice callback to their feud.
694
00:45:37.440 --> 00:45:40.119
Fun and entertaining match, Doctor Trey, what say you as MJF retains
695
00:45:40.760 --> 00:45:45.239
and best entrance of the weekend.
Like out of all the shows, I
696
00:45:45.280 --> 00:45:47.159
thought MGF had the best entrance.
I love the throne, the mask,
697
00:45:47.320 --> 00:45:51.519
the people, I loved all that
stuff. Match was really really good,
698
00:45:52.360 --> 00:45:55.840
But then you leave the question.
Now, MJF just beat the other three
699
00:45:55.880 --> 00:45:59.679
pillars? What does that mean for
the other three pillars? And we saw
700
00:45:59.719 --> 00:46:02.280
a little little bit with you know, Jungle Boy and Hook, we saw
701
00:46:02.320 --> 00:46:08.400
a little bit with Derby and Staying
and Orne Cassidy. So we just gotta
702
00:46:08.400 --> 00:46:12.079
figure out what they're doing. Is
Sammy next? It's just once again,
703
00:46:12.800 --> 00:46:15.239
have you built anybody up to be
the next challenger? Like you have to
704
00:46:15.360 --> 00:46:19.639
have a plan of succession in line
when it comes to building folks. So
705
00:46:19.719 --> 00:46:22.639
maybe it's Sammy, you know,
maybe they count they circle back to it.
706
00:46:22.760 --> 00:46:25.239
But uh, it's great for MJF. It's great for the MJF character.
707
00:46:25.719 --> 00:46:30.800
Storytelling was fantastic, But once again, who's next in line? You
708
00:46:30.960 --> 00:46:34.360
have to have that kind of thing
in mindset and they didn't pay it off
709
00:46:34.880 --> 00:46:37.159
on Dynamite, their biggest show of
the week. To answer your next in
710
00:46:37.239 --> 00:46:40.679
line question, I think it's Adam
Cole. The reports out that there was
711
00:46:40.760 --> 00:46:47.360
a segment last week on Dynamite between
Britt Breaker and MJF that was pre taped
712
00:46:47.960 --> 00:46:53.400
that was going to lead towards the
seeds being planted for that and they trashed
713
00:46:53.480 --> 00:46:58.519
at that point. Um. I
think Adam Cole's next in line, and
714
00:46:58.599 --> 00:47:02.000
then I think the enter question of
this is or the I guess a statement
715
00:47:02.119 --> 00:47:07.159
more more or less here is.
I felt like Sammy LaVar came out of
716
00:47:07.159 --> 00:47:08.960
a feed as a star doctor Trey, like he became a baby face again,
717
00:47:09.440 --> 00:47:14.320
like and he was very hateable.
Like the baby announcement kind of wrapped
718
00:47:14.400 --> 00:47:16.239
up. I'm like, dude,
Sammy, is Sammy with JS anymore?
719
00:47:16.280 --> 00:47:22.199
Because fans are down with Sammy var
again? Yeah, I think in Sammy's
720
00:47:22.280 --> 00:47:24.559
one of and I don't know if
you agree to Sammy maybe one of the
721
00:47:24.599 --> 00:47:30.599
most polarizing people in professional wrestling.
Like you either love Sammy or you hate
722
00:47:30.599 --> 00:47:36.440
Sammy. There's no middle ground.
But as one who was a reviled heel
723
00:47:37.159 --> 00:47:42.000
that proposed to his girlfriend in the
ring in front of a live audience and
724
00:47:42.119 --> 00:47:45.960
the crowd ate it up and kind
of turned me baby face for about two
725
00:47:46.000 --> 00:47:51.679
weeks. People love happy endings,
people love happy news, and it's kind
726
00:47:51.719 --> 00:47:53.760
of hard to boo the guy where
they come out announced that they're having a
727
00:47:53.800 --> 00:47:58.960
baby together. So just thinking about
this, in eighteen years, you could
728
00:47:58.960 --> 00:48:04.559
have the Tai Conti child battled,
the Alexa Bliss child. Oh, stay
729
00:48:04.639 --> 00:48:07.440
tuned, Stay tuned for more next
match here. This is the main event
730
00:48:07.519 --> 00:48:13.760
in Blackpool. Combat Club defeats the
Elite and the Anarchy in the arena match.
731
00:48:13.840 --> 00:48:16.239
We both at the Elite and victory. Fun match. Love the music
732
00:48:16.320 --> 00:48:21.880
playing throughout. I did like Takeshka
turning down the Elite and then how about
733
00:48:21.920 --> 00:48:24.440
Wheeler you to getting the pin on
Kenny Omega and then he followed it up
734
00:48:24.519 --> 00:48:30.599
on Wednesday's Dynamite as well. But
big for Wheeler Utah to get the pin
735
00:48:30.719 --> 00:48:36.280
on Kenny like that was insane.
Doctor trade your thoughts outside interference? Oh
736
00:48:36.360 --> 00:48:40.400
of course, uh some shenanigans involved. I love. So this reminds me
737
00:48:40.480 --> 00:48:45.519
a little bit of Paul Hayman when
they gave him right back and they gave
738
00:48:45.599 --> 00:48:50.920
him Curtis Curtis Axel back in the
day, Like, Hey, we have
739
00:48:51.039 --> 00:48:52.480
these guys that we think we go. We just know they need a mouthpiece,
740
00:48:53.000 --> 00:49:00.159
you know. And so the pairing
of of Don kalis in Takushida can't
741
00:49:00.159 --> 00:49:05.800
pronounce his name, that's my liar
to Keshka. I love the pairing because
742
00:49:05.840 --> 00:49:10.440
ta Kesha's English isn't fantastic, so
having and I mean seriously, Don Callis's
743
00:49:10.519 --> 00:49:15.159
heat that he got on Wednesday night. It was the most heat I've seen
744
00:49:15.199 --> 00:49:20.800
a manager get since the nineties,
Like I have never seen a manager get
745
00:49:20.880 --> 00:49:24.480
booed that hard and forever. So
I loved it, as you know,
746
00:49:24.599 --> 00:49:29.199
a lifelong fan of wrestling managers.
So and then you too, getting the
747
00:49:29.199 --> 00:49:30.760
winds great for him in his career
because he can always hold that up and
748
00:49:30.840 --> 00:49:34.599
then they can always circle back to
at some point like it's let's say keny
749
00:49:34.639 --> 00:49:37.760
Omega at some point against the world
title, hey Udo can always bring up
750
00:49:37.760 --> 00:49:39.440
the fact he pinned him. He
deserves the title shot. So I love
751
00:49:39.559 --> 00:49:44.880
that it gives that young man some
some ammunition down the road when he needs
752
00:49:44.920 --> 00:49:49.440
to use it. And then pay
per view prediction records I went seven and
753
00:49:49.599 --> 00:49:52.280
two, Dot Tree went six and
three, closing out the entire weekend,
754
00:49:52.639 --> 00:49:57.320
I went fifty four and nineteen.
Doctor Trey went forty eight and twenty five.
755
00:49:57.440 --> 00:50:00.800
For the year, Match of the
Night and event rating, I gave
756
00:50:00.840 --> 00:50:05.760
double or nothing any three point six
and I gave MJF Samon Cavar At,
757
00:50:05.800 --> 00:50:07.159
Darby Allan and Jungle Boy in my
Match of the night doubt to try.
758
00:50:07.880 --> 00:50:12.239
I was at a three point seven
once again, like one of my things
759
00:50:12.280 --> 00:50:15.079
on papers, I need a moment
where it is memorable that I'm going to
760
00:50:15.119 --> 00:50:17.960
remember for five or ten years.
I don't think we got that, really.
761
00:50:19.920 --> 00:50:22.920
But I also went with the four
Pillar match mainly because I loved and
762
00:50:23.079 --> 00:50:27.079
Jf's entrance, and I really thought
that, like you said, they paid
763
00:50:27.119 --> 00:50:30.800
homage to their mentors. You know, you tease a Jungle Boy heel turn
764
00:50:30.880 --> 00:50:34.840
if they go that route. At
some point, if Jungle Boy turns on
765
00:50:34.960 --> 00:50:36.960
hook, I might pop for that, I will say, I will say
766
00:50:37.000 --> 00:50:38.360
that, so that'd be kind of
cool. I thought that was coming.
767
00:50:38.440 --> 00:50:40.760
I really did. And I also
thought the Acclaim was going to turn on
768
00:50:40.880 --> 00:50:47.519
Daddy ass on Dynamite this past week. That was the second worst promo behind
769
00:50:47.519 --> 00:50:52.880
the Tiffany Strand thing, apparently because
that Acclaimed believe it made no sense,
770
00:50:52.480 --> 00:50:54.280
Like what was the point of this? Yeah, it was like, what
771
00:50:55.079 --> 00:50:59.880
is this leading in? Something?
Like? It was bizarre, very bizarre,
772
00:51:00.440 --> 00:51:04.280
all right, doctor. The big
news outside of everything that took place
773
00:51:04.360 --> 00:51:12.800
this past week is America's Professional wrestling
in America's Nightmare is over as aw Tony
774
00:51:12.920 --> 00:51:19.000
Kahn has announced the return of cmpunk
to all Elite wrestling will be taking place
775
00:51:19.119 --> 00:51:22.840
on Saturday Night Collision June seventeenth from
the United c that are in Chicago,
776
00:51:22.920 --> 00:51:28.760
Illinois. The back and forth of
Willie Ever Wrestle again, the issues with
777
00:51:28.840 --> 00:51:37.519
AW buying the scenes, the Instagram
post story, NDA's the brawlout, suspensions,
778
00:51:37.679 --> 00:51:45.400
torn triceps, John Moxley being mad. It's over essentially until he gets
779
00:51:45.440 --> 00:51:50.159
buying the scenes and maybe another brawl
out happens. But we have heard for
780
00:51:50.199 --> 00:51:54.920
the first time since September twenty twenty
two, Cmpunk's name uttered another. There's
781
00:51:54.960 --> 00:52:00.840
been other times, but I guess
for actual stakes in the game. See
782
00:52:00.920 --> 00:52:07.960
him Punk uttered on AW television and
returning to the ring acknowledgement from the announcers,
783
00:52:08.320 --> 00:52:13.000
your thoughts see him Punk is back, by the way, So when
784
00:52:13.000 --> 00:52:15.159
you saw it when they went to
the live announced table after they made the
785
00:52:15.199 --> 00:52:22.000
announcement, I think Tony Shivanni hate
see him Punk, Like he looked disgusted,
786
00:52:22.079 --> 00:52:24.280
almost like he's sold it, like
excuse me, Like he sold it
787
00:52:24.400 --> 00:52:28.079
like he was like, hey,
it's great news. It's the greatest night
788
00:52:28.119 --> 00:52:30.039
in the history of our business.
But you can just see him almost like
789
00:52:30.119 --> 00:52:34.559
rolling his eyes. Well, I
was like, it'll be interesting how he
790
00:52:34.599 --> 00:52:37.119
comes back as he baby face or
heel. I also thought it was very
791
00:52:37.199 --> 00:52:40.239
awkward the way that Tony Conn did
it. Who is just Lord love him,
792
00:52:40.320 --> 00:52:45.239
but he's just very awkward on television. He reminds me of like the
793
00:52:45.400 --> 00:52:47.239
kid who has to give a book
report and does not like standing in front
794
00:52:47.239 --> 00:52:51.880
of the classroom. Oh it's terrible
pretapes like where's the guy that was on
795
00:52:52.000 --> 00:52:54.440
Impact Wrestling in twenty twenty? Oh
yeah, I mean, but then again,
796
00:52:54.519 --> 00:52:57.719
like it's easy to be a heel, it's hard to be likable,
797
00:52:57.880 --> 00:53:01.400
that's true, But then again,
is this not one of the most anti
798
00:53:01.519 --> 00:53:08.679
climactic big news type thing Like I
don't really like to have the big announcement
799
00:53:09.079 --> 00:53:15.039
that we're having collision and then was
it a week later, two weeks later,
800
00:53:15.079 --> 00:53:19.199
I don't know the exact timeline,
but to have a pre taped announcement
801
00:53:19.360 --> 00:53:23.199
during the middle of Dynamites that hey, we're just happy to announce that CM
802
00:53:23.239 --> 00:53:27.559
punk will be a collisions, Like, man, you could have made that
803
00:53:27.840 --> 00:53:34.880
way grander And maybe it's their way
of kind of test and still poking CM
804
00:53:34.920 --> 00:53:37.840
Punk And I don't know about you. That crowd was split. It was
805
00:53:37.960 --> 00:53:40.599
they said it was sixty forty.
I read online that a lot of fans
806
00:53:40.639 --> 00:53:45.800
and attendance were like sixty forty in
favor of Punk, and you gotta figure
807
00:53:45.840 --> 00:53:50.519
that's gonna be that way and unless
it's Chicago, and then like, what
808
00:53:50.719 --> 00:53:53.159
does this do to the Dynamite ratings? I mean, because they still have
809
00:53:53.280 --> 00:53:57.840
not announced if it's a brand split
or we're going to have people on bullshow,
810
00:53:57.960 --> 00:54:01.159
like what we're gonna do? Like
if that CM Punk show, are
811
00:54:01.239 --> 00:54:06.559
the punk fans gonna not watch Dynamite
out of loyalty to punk and vice versa?
812
00:54:07.199 --> 00:54:09.239
Like is that actual? Actually don't
doubt that. I don't think it's
813
00:54:09.280 --> 00:54:13.800
as cultish as it was, like
you know, two three years ago when
814
00:54:13.840 --> 00:54:17.159
he was coming back, and you
know, cultish when he was away from
815
00:54:17.199 --> 00:54:23.039
wrestling all this time. I think
I think the majority of fans don't side
816
00:54:23.079 --> 00:54:29.360
with what he did, right Like
you and I are big sampunk stands,
817
00:54:29.679 --> 00:54:32.400
and I don't agree with what he
did during that press comment. So I
818
00:54:32.519 --> 00:54:37.880
think you don't air that dirty laundry
out following all out like that. Yeah,
819
00:54:38.039 --> 00:54:40.639
no, that I agree with,
But then again, I still like
820
00:54:40.760 --> 00:54:45.119
I still hold to that my blame
for that whole situation is don't be gone
821
00:54:45.320 --> 00:54:51.079
agree agree, But Sony just stood
there like a goof and just making a
822
00:54:51.400 --> 00:54:54.480
happy face and nodding his head in
agreement. So yeah, I don't think
823
00:54:54.519 --> 00:54:58.320
he what he did was the right
thing to do. But like it,
824
00:54:58.519 --> 00:55:00.599
you know, like you just said, if the crowd, if the live
825
00:55:00.719 --> 00:55:05.800
crowd and a neutral city is split, sixty forty, Now Chicago crowd is
826
00:55:05.800 --> 00:55:08.480
gonna be like all about it.
But you know if if a live crowd
827
00:55:08.519 --> 00:55:12.400
in neutral city sixty forty are like, what are the fans at home?
828
00:55:13.119 --> 00:55:15.519
Like are they sixty forty? And
some people may not watch it just because
829
00:55:15.559 --> 00:55:20.599
they dislike everything that happens. So
I don't know they need him back,
830
00:55:21.119 --> 00:55:24.599
like it's clear his day they need
him. But like I hate to say
831
00:55:24.679 --> 00:55:30.239
that, but it's the truth.
Like AW television has not been great like
832
00:55:30.400 --> 00:55:35.199
double or nothing was. It was
a solid show, but it was disappointing
833
00:55:35.360 --> 00:55:38.800
on the AW standards. Yeah,
you expect a lot more excitement, a
834
00:55:38.880 --> 00:55:45.440
lot more buzz, a lot better
in ringwork. The multiple like outside interferences
835
00:55:45.519 --> 00:55:52.159
was laughable throughout the show. It's
just creatively there's been something missing from AW
836
00:55:52.320 --> 00:55:55.159
for a long time, and I
think having seen him punk back. There
837
00:55:55.440 --> 00:56:00.400
is gonna help at least that's my
hope. Yeah. I just look at
838
00:56:00.480 --> 00:56:05.320
like to have that announcement at that
point of the show, and the way
839
00:56:05.360 --> 00:56:07.800
it was done, it was weird. It was and it's so like an
840
00:56:08.000 --> 00:56:12.960
can't do a Yeah, you can't
do a vignette. No. He comes
841
00:56:13.000 --> 00:56:15.800
out to the ring for every other
big news event he does, but he
842
00:56:15.840 --> 00:56:17.920
does a pre tape on this.
He's been doing the pre tapes lately though
843
00:56:19.639 --> 00:56:22.440
he's a busy man. He's trying
to move the job wards. I just
844
00:56:22.599 --> 00:56:24.639
think that they know that it's really
strange when he gets on the screen,
845
00:56:24.760 --> 00:56:29.320
like did you see his announcement about
the owen Hart Cup, like and them
846
00:56:29.400 --> 00:56:31.840
going to Canada? No, I
missed that one, dear God. Like
847
00:56:32.119 --> 00:56:37.159
so when he announced the dates and
I don't know if it was for Collision
848
00:56:37.320 --> 00:56:40.800
or the owen Hart Cup or mixture
of both. I don't remember, but
849
00:56:40.960 --> 00:56:45.960
he said Regina, which is a
city in Canada, and you could hear
850
00:56:45.000 --> 00:56:50.880
the crowd laughing, like I don't
There was just like emphasis on him saying
851
00:56:50.960 --> 00:56:53.960
Regina, Like it was like,
dude, Like I like Tony con I
852
00:56:53.960 --> 00:56:59.800
appreciate everything he's done. With aw
dude talk work like the hugs, his
853
00:57:00.039 --> 00:57:05.960
delivery on stuff. I feel like
he hit like fifteen and then that was
854
00:57:06.000 --> 00:57:07.960
it, Like he stopped at fifteen
in his life, like the age of
855
00:57:08.079 --> 00:57:13.519
fifteen, like over emphasizing red giants
like it's a funny word, you know,
856
00:57:13.679 --> 00:57:16.559
and then just that awkward smile like
I'll tell you right now if if
857
00:57:17.000 --> 00:57:21.679
I opened up my window and that
face was smiling at me I when I'm
858
00:57:21.719 --> 00:57:25.400
calling the cops, Like it's just
kind of a creepy, odd look he
859
00:57:25.760 --> 00:57:30.840
presents. And as much as we
used to hate on Vince, like when
860
00:57:30.960 --> 00:57:35.920
Vince was on TV, it was
compelling television, whether it going back to
861
00:57:36.039 --> 00:57:38.559
his announcing days or the mister McMahon
character or any other iteration of him,
862
00:57:39.000 --> 00:57:43.039
Like I don't know if there's anybody
else that's been in a leadership role.
863
00:57:43.400 --> 00:57:45.559
And this goes back to the beginning. Remember in the beginning, they didn't
864
00:57:45.559 --> 00:57:50.000
want Tony on TV at all.
Oh rightfully so, and Tony's on TV
865
00:57:50.119 --> 00:57:53.000
every week now, so it's kind
of like again that delivery, and it's
866
00:57:53.039 --> 00:57:57.880
like and at the debut episode,
will be see him punk like you almost
867
00:57:57.880 --> 00:58:00.719
if you blink you miss it it's
like, wait, you say punk and
868
00:58:00.760 --> 00:58:05.199
then they cut to the crowd like
you can't even have a bill towards that
869
00:58:05.519 --> 00:58:10.639
and joining us for his return to
the company at AW Collision in his hometown
870
00:58:10.719 --> 00:58:16.199
of Chicago, Illinois, is the
former two time AW World champion c M
871
00:58:16.760 --> 00:58:21.960
Punk. Like, really, you
just like and it's gonna be Cempunk.
872
00:58:22.079 --> 00:58:25.159
Maybe it's a maybe it's a fake
cmpunk. Maybe he's learning from the vince
873
00:58:25.239 --> 00:58:31.239
Rest. Yeah, it could be
see him Hunk, see him monk dunk.
874
00:58:31.360 --> 00:58:35.440
Oh god, if I don't see
an indie show guy, do c
875
00:58:35.880 --> 00:58:39.800
M Monk and he actually comes out
like Friar Tuck with a straight edged with
876
00:58:39.960 --> 00:58:44.760
a straight edge of fist, wrist
tapes and stuff. Oh my god,
877
00:58:44.800 --> 00:58:47.119
that's gonna be. That's if I
can get that somebody to do that gimmick.
878
00:58:47.320 --> 00:58:50.719
I think I could actually retire happy. I mean I did. I
879
00:58:50.800 --> 00:58:54.519
did get a gimmick called the blue
Waffle over at his shows. Stay tuned,
880
00:58:54.519 --> 00:58:57.880
folks, stay tuned. U.
That will do it. For this
881
00:58:57.960 --> 00:59:00.480
week's session, the podcast A lots
to talking about and Punk on the upcoming
882
00:59:00.719 --> 00:59:04.440
editions of the pod. I am
sure. Well that said, let's get
883
00:59:04.440 --> 00:59:06.760
a couple of plugs and sponsors out

happened. By the way, just
want to throw out like best wishes to

few weeks. As he recovers from his
898
00:59:59.679 --> 01:00:02.360
knee. It's upbreak for one of

5
00:00:37.840 --> 00:00:41.560
I am one half the show.
I am Jeff Pack joined every single week
6
00:00:41.600 --> 00:00:44.679
to my cost one only. Doctor
Try Franklin, Doctor try, I see
7
00:00:44.679 --> 00:00:48.920
you're wearing. I survived fifteen hours
of wrestling programming my friend. Yeah,
8
00:00:48.920 --> 00:00:53.719
it's it's a quote aligned from the
Hangover, But did you die? Like
9
00:00:53.799 --> 00:01:00.479
that's kind of how I felt coming
into actually Thursday, because literally wrestling Saturday,
10
00:01:00.520 --> 00:01:04.040
wrestling Sunday, wrestling on Monday,
wrestling on Tuesday, wrestling on Wednesday,
11
00:01:04.480 --> 00:01:10.640
And uh yeah I survived this um
and I didn't die. So that's
12
00:01:10.680 --> 00:01:11.359
always about his points. I guess
that. I mean, it'd be hard
13
00:01:11.359 --> 00:01:15.200
to do the pote the podcast with
the ghost of Trey Franklin. No,
14
00:01:15.400 --> 00:01:18.599
that would be that would be very
difficult. I watched Night of Champions,
15
00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:23.400
I watched Anexty, Battleground, AW
Double or Nothing, Raw, n xt
16
00:01:23.079 --> 00:01:27.159
AW, Dynamite, and then just
to spice things up here a little bit,
17
00:01:27.200 --> 00:01:33.159
Doctor Trey. I watched Most Wanted
Treasures, w Most Wanted Treasures on
18
00:01:33.200 --> 00:01:37.439
an E, Sonhold Takes on America
on A and E, and I watched
19
00:01:37.519 --> 00:01:45.439
the season debut of Vice's Dark Side
of the Ring with Tammy Sitch and Chris
20
00:01:45.480 --> 00:01:49.719
Candido. So I was like fully
in through all the Profreshion wrestling programming over
21
00:01:49.719 --> 00:01:53.159
the last week. Highly recommend the
Dark Side of the Ring stuff for those
22
00:01:53.159 --> 00:01:57.400
who have never watched it. But
yeah, I guess we won't recap the
23
00:01:57.439 --> 00:02:00.480
final three, but we definitely have
a lot of stuff to recap in the
24
00:02:01.079 --> 00:02:04.799
first three. Doctor Trey. Lots
of wrestling this past weekend, and of
25
00:02:04.799 --> 00:02:07.599
course it was a Memorial Day.
Also, did you watch You didn't watch
26
00:02:07.639 --> 00:02:12.400
the show that came on after Dynamite, The Hulk Hogan. I didn't.
27
00:02:12.439 --> 00:02:15.599
I did not, So actually it's
funny you say that. So I watched
28
00:02:15.759 --> 00:02:21.280
Dynamite on DVR a little bit of
a delay and it cut into that show
29
00:02:21.639 --> 00:02:25.479
and I was like, crap,
I did not DVR it. I made
30
00:02:25.479 --> 00:02:29.520
it all the way through. Now, mind you, I haven't been sleeping
31
00:02:29.599 --> 00:02:34.400
much. Okay, he is pregnant
for those one ring oh god, I
32
00:02:34.400 --> 00:02:36.759
can only dream. I mean,
I'd make a lot of money off that.
33
00:02:38.159 --> 00:02:39.759
So I made it. It was
almost like do you remember the old
34
00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:44.360
VH one behind the Music Store like
show? Yeah, yeah, yeah,
35
00:02:44.360 --> 00:02:46.400
I'm old. Remember we just had
this discussion off air. We're both old.
36
00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:51.120
I do remember those. So it
was kind of done like that,
37
00:02:52.199 --> 00:02:55.560
like they don't interview Hogan, they're
interviewing Flair. They're interviewing like the writer
38
00:02:55.680 --> 00:03:00.840
of the unauthorized biography. They're they're
interviewing and the Rate characters to Hogan's life.
39
00:03:00.960 --> 00:03:05.840
So I made it all the way
up through where the sex tape came
40
00:03:05.840 --> 00:03:08.080
out, and then I was like, okay, I'm doing I can only
41
00:03:08.080 --> 00:03:12.400
take so much Bubba the Love Sponge
on my TV at one point and I
42
00:03:12.439 --> 00:03:15.400
was like, yeah, I'm done. We're good for now. So would
43
00:03:15.400 --> 00:03:23.280
you recommend me watching it if you
like the sensationalism because they referenced the sex
44
00:03:23.360 --> 00:03:28.240
tape, they referenced the you know
in words stuff like they referenced the Rate
45
00:03:28.280 --> 00:03:30.159
well, the racist rant however you
want to phrase it. They reference all
46
00:03:30.199 --> 00:03:34.000
that stuff, and then I don't
know how it ended, Like the first
47
00:03:34.039 --> 00:03:38.800
half was really good. This shows
some old footage of Hogan from the seventies
48
00:03:38.840 --> 00:03:43.879
and early eighties, and they chronicle
the run of there. But once they
49
00:03:43.919 --> 00:03:47.520
got into the sensationalism of the Hogan
sex tape and the racist rant, I
50
00:03:47.599 --> 00:03:52.159
was like, yeah, it's it's
I'm wrestling doubt so I am going too
51
00:03:52.159 --> 00:03:55.639
bad and dream about wrestling. So
it sounds like, no, I should
52
00:03:55.639 --> 00:03:59.919
not watch it. It's not.
I mean, if you're comparing it to
53
00:04:00.280 --> 00:04:02.199
like, I mean, we love
the Vice stuff the Dark Side, it's
54
00:04:02.199 --> 00:04:06.039
amazing. I don't think there's been
a bad episode of Dark Side of the
55
00:04:06.120 --> 00:04:11.759
Ring yet that I've seen. So
if you're comparing it, it's like watching
56
00:04:11.800 --> 00:04:15.600
if it's watching a documentary that you're
really into, versus the v H one
57
00:04:15.639 --> 00:04:18.680
behind the music stuff. Okay,
all right, good stuff, good stuff,
58
00:04:18.680 --> 00:04:23.879
all right, I'll have to see
and potentially check that out. Highly
59
00:04:23.920 --> 00:04:28.480
recommend The Dark Side of the Ring. By the way, Chris Candino story
60
00:04:28.680 --> 00:04:32.240
incredibly sad, and I forgot how
incredibly it's sad sad it was until I
61
00:04:32.399 --> 00:04:40.240
rewatched it recently and the first episode
of this past Tuesday over on a Vice,
62
00:04:40.279 --> 00:04:43.879
which I guess could be going bankrupt
soon or is bankrupt at this point.
63
00:04:44.560 --> 00:04:46.439
Lots to cover here on this week's
This Show. Let's start chronologically.
64
00:04:46.439 --> 00:04:50.199
We'll go to Saturday, Doctor Trey
nine of Champions recab and review this past
65
00:04:50.240 --> 00:04:55.480
Saturday from Jetta Superdome in Jetta,
Saudi Arabia, and I'll just start it
66
00:04:55.519 --> 00:04:57.839
out. Well, maybe I'll save
it towards the end. Let's get to
67
00:04:57.839 --> 00:05:01.040
the first match. Seth Freaking Roll
Defeast aj Styles in the tournament final to
68
00:05:01.160 --> 00:05:04.720
win the inaugural w World Await Championship. You and I both had Seth Frank
69
00:05:04.759 --> 00:05:08.879
and Rons again the victory. Solid
match that felt like this result was a
70
00:05:08.920 --> 00:05:13.040
foregone conclusion all along. Seth Rons
is a world champion again, and I
71
00:05:13.079 --> 00:05:15.759
am here for it. Doctor Trey. Yeah, like SE's one of our
72
00:05:15.800 --> 00:05:20.560
favorite characters on TV right now.
I don't know if I can say this
73
00:05:20.639 --> 00:05:25.920
match delivered just because of the fact
that, you know, it's a little
74
00:05:25.959 --> 00:05:29.040
bit it wasn't as good like the
foregot the conclusion was there, so to
75
00:05:29.079 --> 00:05:31.560
speak, Yeah, yeah, it
was. It just it just always felt
76
00:05:31.560 --> 00:05:34.160
like it was gonna be Cody or
Seth Frank and Rons. I guess is
77
00:05:34.160 --> 00:05:41.839
where I sit on it? Sorry, they're making me move my vehicle.
78
00:05:42.199 --> 00:05:45.360
Oh, no problem, who who
is making you move to your vehicle?
79
00:05:45.480 --> 00:05:48.519
So apparently, so I stopped at
a target to record the podcast on the
80
00:05:48.519 --> 00:05:55.959
way home, and I guess they're
about to repave the concrete. So the
81
00:05:56.120 --> 00:05:59.240
workers are like, hey, weird
guy on the phone in an suv,
82
00:05:59.399 --> 00:06:00.800
can you please leave your vehicle to
the other park a lot? And it
83
00:06:00.839 --> 00:06:05.000
was a guy who spoke very very
little English, so I had to acquiesce
84
00:06:05.079 --> 00:06:09.319
to his request. That's I'm going
to leave this in this podcast. So
85
00:06:10.720 --> 00:06:13.439
usually we edit stuff like this out, but I think we leave this one
86
00:06:13.439 --> 00:06:15.199
in because it was like, I'm
like, do we lose them? No,
87
00:06:15.319 --> 00:06:17.879
it's not as good. It's not
as good as the policeman. But
88
00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:20.360
now like it's not as good as
say, this might be top four,
89
00:06:20.439 --> 00:06:26.120
but this is not good as Sammy
assaulting me or the police. But when
90
00:06:26.120 --> 00:06:30.079
you have a hispanic what is that
noise? I don't know what that always
91
00:06:30.120 --> 00:06:35.120
is? What is that? Oh? Apparently got an email? Nothing all
92
00:06:35.160 --> 00:06:39.360
day? And then of course I
get this guy and then the emails um
93
00:06:39.720 --> 00:06:42.399
shows going off the rails here,
folks, Oh, I know quickly this
94
00:06:42.439 --> 00:06:45.279
is this is like I survived.
This podcast should be the T shirt.
95
00:06:45.319 --> 00:06:47.680
I'm wearing it all right, let's
get to h Let's get to the next
96
00:06:47.720 --> 00:06:50.560
match here, Doctor Trey tris Stradis
defeats Becky Lynch. You and I bought
97
00:06:50.560 --> 00:06:54.959
that tristradis good match. Really like
the addition of Zoe Start to this feud
98
00:06:54.959 --> 00:06:57.839
and getting involved in the match to
help Trish. Did not see that comment.
99
00:06:57.879 --> 00:06:59.839
I'm a fan of Zoe Stark,
so I liked what I saw.
100
00:07:00.079 --> 00:07:02.199
Good match this past Saturday night.
Yeah, I really enjoyed the match.
101
00:07:02.279 --> 00:07:05.360
I love the Zoe Start pairing because
for a lot of the younger fans,
102
00:07:05.360 --> 00:07:08.319
they don't are the fans, they
don't want to Anstey don't only know her,
103
00:07:08.399 --> 00:07:11.800
but not just that, but she
looks like a version of Trish.
104
00:07:11.839 --> 00:07:15.360
She looks like a little bit younger
Jack Verger or Trish where they staying side
105
00:07:15.360 --> 00:07:17.519
by side, So I loved it. Plus this also they could also bring
106
00:07:17.639 --> 00:07:20.839
Leda back into the picture because we
could get Becky and Leda versus Zoe and
107
00:07:20.839 --> 00:07:26.160
Trish as well. So that makes
my heart happy as well. Next match
108
00:07:26.199 --> 00:07:30.160
here is Gunther defeating Mustafa Ali to
retain the w Intercontinental Championship. We both
109
00:07:30.160 --> 00:07:34.439
had Gunther very entertaining match. Mustafa
Ali looked like a star and I don't
110
00:07:34.480 --> 00:07:38.800
know when the last time we saw
a bad match from Gunther. So great
111
00:07:38.839 --> 00:07:44.000
match Gunther mustaf Ali, who later
showed up on NXE television this past week.
112
00:07:44.279 --> 00:07:47.000
I guess hess I set on the
North American Championship in Wesley. Loved
113
00:07:47.000 --> 00:07:49.800
this match, Doc Tree, it
was a lot of fun. No fantastic
114
00:07:49.800 --> 00:07:54.439
match. Doesn't have a bad match. This also to me, this reminded
115
00:07:54.480 --> 00:07:57.560
me of Rhan Zalina from you know, the previous pay per viewer, like
116
00:07:58.600 --> 00:08:01.600
over with the crowd. They had
to make him look good. You still
117
00:08:01.639 --> 00:08:05.079
got the heel champion winning, but
Mustafa comes out look. The only thing
118
00:08:05.079 --> 00:08:07.560
I question is Mustafa comes out looking
really strong and then he gets sent to
119
00:08:07.680 --> 00:08:13.560
NXT Like that makes kind of question
the thought process behind him, so I
120
00:08:13.680 --> 00:08:18.040
question that as well. And then
he made mention that he's a free agent.
121
00:08:18.160 --> 00:08:20.079
I was like, that's interesting,
and they did play off of his
122
00:08:20.199 --> 00:08:26.360
match with Gunther going for the Intercontinental
Championship that he wants more opportunities at gold.
123
00:08:26.399 --> 00:08:31.600
He's a free agent. We saw
who attacked Carmelo Hayes at the end
124
00:08:31.600 --> 00:08:35.360
of NXC television that we'll talk about
here. Later on, So I thought
125
00:08:35.360 --> 00:08:39.519
from a storyline standpoint and actually made
sense. But I could see your understanding,
126
00:08:39.559 --> 00:08:41.960
like, Okay, he goes from
Icy title to maybe the North American
127
00:08:41.039 --> 00:08:46.919
Championship. But I think it does
help elevate NXC some when you have the
128
00:08:46.960 --> 00:08:52.720
most recent Intercontinental Championship challenger down in
NXT going after one of their championships.
129
00:08:52.159 --> 00:08:54.960
Yeah. I mean, we saw
it with Dolf last year doing that and
130
00:08:56.039 --> 00:08:58.080
helping Guy. We see you with
Apollo, So it's a formula. It's
131
00:08:58.120 --> 00:09:01.519
worked. It was just like you
said, like going from the Intercontal title
132
00:09:01.559 --> 00:09:05.519
to now I guess the NXT version
of the Intercontal title the North American title
133
00:09:05.679 --> 00:09:09.639
is kind of to me a step
backwards. And at this point, I
134
00:09:09.080 --> 00:09:13.039
just I think I think they're trying
to figure out what to do with Mustafa
135
00:09:13.080 --> 00:09:18.039
because the positive Ali gimmick didn't really
work, the retribution gimmick didn't work.
136
00:09:18.200 --> 00:09:20.559
The only one that people really got
behind was the iron man gimmick that he
137
00:09:20.600 --> 00:09:24.039
was kind of doing for a while, you know, during the two oh
138
00:09:24.039 --> 00:09:26.919
five Live days, and he's just
I think he's a star. I'm a
139
00:09:28.000 --> 00:09:31.200
Mustaf Ali fan, and wherever he
ends up, if he gets more television
140
00:09:31.200 --> 00:09:35.840
time and more match time. I'm
here for it, so happy for him.
141
00:09:35.279 --> 00:09:39.399
Oscar defeats Bianca Belair to win the
w W RAW Woman's Championship. I
142
00:09:39.440 --> 00:09:43.000
had Oscar Doctor Trey Bianca Belair.
I liked to finish with Oscar sprain that
143
00:09:43.039 --> 00:09:46.200
miss on our hands to blind Bianca
during the ko D spot. This was
144
00:09:46.240 --> 00:09:48.240
the right call, as Bianca's title
ran was kind of getting a little bit
145
00:09:48.279 --> 00:09:52.720
stale Doctor Trey, what say you? Yeah, You're absolutely right. I
146
00:09:52.799 --> 00:09:54.960
had Bianca winning because it was the
John Cena factor, like until she loses.
147
00:09:56.080 --> 00:09:58.879
I just didn't see her losing.
I love the finish I have.
148
00:10:00.279 --> 00:10:03.080
I've seen I saw the great kabuky
do that in like nineteen eighty three,
149
00:10:03.320 --> 00:10:07.840
so I love that. It's just
a long throwback to the mist on the
150
00:10:07.919 --> 00:10:11.240
hands to help get the win.
So made a ton of sense. Oscar
151
00:10:11.320 --> 00:10:13.840
is a heel, so she has
to cheat to win. And then now
152
00:10:13.840 --> 00:10:16.440
you get to see if Bianca can
rise back with the rank or if they
153
00:10:16.480 --> 00:10:20.320
end up flipping her heel. Perhaps
maybe at some point m SO tuned.
154
00:10:20.000 --> 00:10:24.360
Next match, here's Riha Ripley defeating
Natalia to retain the WI Smack to him
155
00:10:24.360 --> 00:10:28.399
it's championship. We both at Ria
Ripley disappointing match that reflected the bill for
156
00:10:28.399 --> 00:10:31.200
this feud very well. As always
with a result like this, it'll be
157
00:10:31.240 --> 00:10:35.159
interesting if this leads to anything for
Riha and Natty. Did not see anything
158
00:10:35.159 --> 00:10:37.759
on RAW. We'll see if anything
further happens. Just hate to see Nattie
159
00:10:37.759 --> 00:10:41.799
get jobbed out like this unless there's
some sort of storyline behind it. Yeah,
160
00:10:41.840 --> 00:10:46.559
and I hated it because A it
makes Natty look bad because you got
161
00:10:46.559 --> 00:10:50.159
distracted by Dom and then b doesn't
do anything for Rea, Like Ria had
162
00:10:50.159 --> 00:10:54.480
to beat Natty really quickly with the
help from Dodd, So it's like it
163
00:10:54.519 --> 00:11:00.480
doesn't really benefit either person going forward. So just hated it, really really
164
00:11:00.519 --> 00:11:05.000
hated it. Next match here is
brock Lesnar feeding Cody Rhodes. We both
165
00:11:05.039 --> 00:11:09.960
had brock Lessner entertaining match that told
the great story. I like where this
166
00:11:09.039 --> 00:11:13.320
is heading for Cody Rhodes, and
this feud has really been impressive in helping
167
00:11:13.360 --> 00:11:18.480
continue to grow Cody as a character, especially following the night after Russellmany people
168
00:11:18.639 --> 00:11:20.519
did not like it. I'm liking
this, Doctor Trey. Your thoughts,
169
00:11:22.200 --> 00:11:24.200
Yeah, I really enjoyed this match, one of Brock's better matches he's had
170
00:11:24.240 --> 00:11:28.559
in a while. I love the
cast stuff. I love that in the
171
00:11:28.559 --> 00:11:31.639
beginning he was trying to fight alarmed, then he realized he could use the
172
00:11:31.639 --> 00:11:35.000
cast like it all made a ton
of sense and really worked and so great
173
00:11:35.000 --> 00:11:39.679
storytelling. And this is what we
talk about. Cody has to have obstacles
174
00:11:39.679 --> 00:11:43.120
to overcome, and he's got a
big one that he has overcome heading into
175
00:11:43.240 --> 00:11:46.159
SummerSlam season. And then finally the
main event here, Kevin Owens and Sammy
176
00:11:46.240 --> 00:11:52.559
Zane defeat Roman Rains and Solo Sitoa
to retain the undisputed WE Tag Team Championship.
177
00:11:52.600 --> 00:11:54.720
We both had Ko and Sammy get
the victory. The finish of this
178
00:11:54.759 --> 00:12:00.840
match was really good. The USO's
accidentally super kicking Solo the first thing Roman
179
00:12:00.919 --> 00:12:05.799
Rain saw to Roman pushing Jay around
to these superkicks from Jimmy. It was
180
00:12:05.879 --> 00:12:11.000
all very well done, leading to
Sammy and Kevin retaining. I officially think
181
00:12:11.200 --> 00:12:16.120
Jay usso Met may be the most
compelling wrestling character in the entire industry,
182
00:12:16.519 --> 00:12:20.120
as he is once again torn when
it comes to his relationship with a bloodline.
183
00:12:20.000 --> 00:12:26.080
Like Great Match Love, the Finnish
Great clothes, compelling stuff. Can't
184
00:12:26.080 --> 00:12:30.440
wait to see where this heads on
Friday night SmackDown, Doctor Trey. Your
185
00:12:30.480 --> 00:12:33.559
thoughts, my friend, Yeah,
loved it, Love the entrances. I
186
00:12:33.639 --> 00:12:39.000
love Sammy coming out and speaking Arabic. Love the whole match. Loved the
187
00:12:39.080 --> 00:12:41.559
finish, Like, this is just
great storytelling. And you're right, like,
188
00:12:41.639 --> 00:12:48.399
I love that it's Jimmy that turned
on Roman and that Jay is torn
189
00:12:48.600 --> 00:12:52.080
again, like and he does.
He may be one of the top five
190
00:12:52.240 --> 00:12:58.120
wrestlers with facial expressions in the business
a day. Just great storytelling, great
191
00:12:58.519 --> 00:13:01.600
character work. And then you're right. Now, I have to watch SmackDown
192
00:13:01.679 --> 00:13:03.759
to add to my collection of wrestling
this week to see what happens with the
193
00:13:03.799 --> 00:13:07.960
bloodline because of how that match ended. Yeah, it's it's great stuff.
194
00:13:09.200 --> 00:13:13.519
You know, I do question,
Doctor Trey, is it somewhat too much?
195
00:13:13.639 --> 00:13:18.360
Sometimes? Because it was reminiscent of
the Sam Musane stuff from the Royal
196
00:13:18.440 --> 00:13:22.480
Rumble. But this time Jimmy was
siding with Roman, and it wasn't that
197
00:13:22.559 --> 00:13:24.480
long ago where you know, Jimmy
was on the side of Roman and making
198
00:13:24.480 --> 00:13:30.519
them choose, and you know,
Roman basically pushed him and his brother around
199
00:13:30.559 --> 00:13:33.200
following WrestleMania, Like I do question, is it, like is it too
200
00:13:33.320 --> 00:13:37.720
much throwing shit at the wall,
But it's just so damn good. They
201
00:13:37.759 --> 00:13:43.840
execute it so darned well and it's
enjoyable. But I do question, like,
202
00:13:43.840 --> 00:13:46.440
like I said, I do question
is if it's too much sometimes?
203
00:13:46.440 --> 00:13:50.200
And then they still haven't touched on
the solo angle of it, with solo
204
00:13:50.320 --> 00:13:54.600
actually being Jimmy and Jay's brother.
Yeah, yeah, that's another layer to
205
00:13:54.639 --> 00:14:00.440
the story that could still take you. My issue was maybe the turnaround time
206
00:14:00.639 --> 00:14:03.679
was too quick. Maybe we should
have waited another month for this December before
207
00:14:03.799 --> 00:14:07.759
pointing the trick has only it's only
been yeah, a couple of months as
208
00:14:07.759 --> 00:14:11.000
WrestleMania, that's only a couple of
months after you know, Sammy did his
209
00:14:11.039 --> 00:14:15.480
turn because elimination Chamber was in February. So is it too soon for all
210
00:14:15.519 --> 00:14:18.440
of these people's turning against Roman.
But hey, empires have to crumble to
211
00:14:18.519 --> 00:14:22.559
then get rebuilt someday, So maybe
they're like, hey, if we're going
212
00:14:22.600 --> 00:14:24.840
to tear it down, let's just
tear it down to you know, just
213
00:14:24.919 --> 00:14:28.080
the bricks in the mortar. The
beauty of this feud and the beauty of
214
00:14:28.080 --> 00:14:31.720
that moment at the close of Night
of Champions Is it took me back to
215
00:14:31.759 --> 00:14:37.879
Helen a Cell twenty twenty when it
was Jus versus Roman Rains and Jimmy,
216
00:14:37.879 --> 00:14:41.200
who was hurt at the time,
came in the ring and that was like
217
00:14:41.240 --> 00:14:45.080
the beginning of Jay and Jimmy siding
with Roman, and it was like,
218
00:14:45.200 --> 00:14:48.879
this is what you should have done
a long time ago. Like the storylines
219
00:14:48.840 --> 00:14:54.519
has just made sense. And the
callbacks even three years later, whether it
220
00:14:54.759 --> 00:14:58.960
was intentional or not by de Wust
part just it's it's so well written,
221
00:15:00.039 --> 00:15:05.600
and I think it's forgotten because the
head of creative at the time from w
222
00:15:05.919 --> 00:15:09.320
was a different person than it is
now with Triple h at the Helm versus
223
00:15:09.399 --> 00:15:11.639
Vincent the Helm, even though Bruce
Pritchard was someone and you know, heavily
224
00:15:11.639 --> 00:15:16.480
involved as well. I just like
the callbacks. I like how they tie
225
00:15:16.519 --> 00:15:20.200
things up. I like the full
circle stuff. I love the fan theories
226
00:15:20.240 --> 00:15:24.440
about it, like those are always
the cool things about stories that we all
227
00:15:24.480 --> 00:15:26.919
see, whether it's for those that
are you know, fans of Ted Lasso
228
00:15:28.039 --> 00:15:33.799
and that his season just end recently
and people are coming up with theories Mandalorian
229
00:15:33.919 --> 00:15:37.879
anything, Star Wars, whatever,
like fans always make up their own theories,
230
00:15:37.279 --> 00:15:41.720
and that's what w has done with
his feud. And I don't ever
231
00:15:41.799 --> 00:15:46.039
remember a storyline like this where you
have fan theories as to what you're seeing
232
00:15:46.080 --> 00:15:50.919
and what people are thinking. Like
it's it's heavily enjoyable. Yeah, so
233
00:15:50.000 --> 00:15:52.159
in your mind, what what is
the big what's the payoff? I mean,
234
00:15:52.200 --> 00:15:54.279
there's gotta be a one on one
match. There's gotta be a payoff,
235
00:15:54.320 --> 00:16:00.200
is it? I do? I
think the payoff is Jay Usso And
236
00:16:00.919 --> 00:16:03.879
I mean this is this is for
a story for another day and maybe we
237
00:16:03.919 --> 00:16:07.360
talk about it at greater length on
next week sins the show, but the
238
00:16:07.399 --> 00:16:11.159
stories are out there right now that
the plan still is for Cody versus Roman
239
00:16:11.159 --> 00:16:15.639
and Wrestlemanning of forty next year,
Like that's still the plan. And in
240
00:16:15.679 --> 00:16:17.519
my mind, it's like, all
right, well, Cody's not going to
241
00:16:17.600 --> 00:16:19.279
lose two in a row to Roman
and wrestle Maning, Like that's when they
242
00:16:19.360 --> 00:16:22.360
when they pull the trigger and we
have a new champion, I would think.
243
00:16:23.159 --> 00:16:26.679
But um, it's like, you
know, I'm starting to think like
244
00:16:26.960 --> 00:16:33.080
this could beat the breakout for Juso. I never saw the usos as the
245
00:16:33.120 --> 00:16:40.360
Heart Foundation or the Rockers or the
Hardy Boys or Edging Christian where one of
246
00:16:40.399 --> 00:16:42.799
the two members of the you know, one of the members of that team,
247
00:16:44.320 --> 00:16:49.320
legendary team becomes a world champion or
a main event player. And I
248
00:16:49.360 --> 00:16:55.519
think Jay Usso has that capability.
Like the fans, I don't think there's
249
00:16:55.519 --> 00:16:59.320
anybody that's more compelling and captivating right
now and relatable to the fans and Jay
250
00:16:59.399 --> 00:17:04.000
Uso and in any wrestling organization right
now. I think the fans are have
251
00:17:04.200 --> 00:17:10.759
more close sincere feelings with Jay Usso
than any wrestler in the entire company now
252
00:17:11.240 --> 00:17:14.480
into all of wrestling. Yeah,
and I think the crazy part of as
253
00:17:14.519 --> 00:17:18.160
I don't. I think the fans
relate to Jay Usso, but they don't
254
00:17:18.160 --> 00:17:22.720
know how to feel about Jayuso.
Yeah, yeah, ntil will until we
255
00:17:22.799 --> 00:17:25.720
see it, right, I mean, Sammy's done it, Jimmy's done it
256
00:17:25.759 --> 00:17:30.240
is solo next? When does Jay? Maybe? The compelling storyline here is
257
00:17:30.920 --> 00:17:33.960
we were waiting for Sammy to pull
the trigger for all the entire time?
258
00:17:34.160 --> 00:17:37.519
Is it now? Jay? Is
Jay the one that pulls the trigger?
259
00:17:37.559 --> 00:17:41.559
And does Jay side with Roman?
Tomorrow night on SmackDown, Friday Night on
260
00:17:41.640 --> 00:17:45.400
SmackDown and then feuge with his brother
for a little bit, and then he
261
00:17:45.480 --> 00:17:48.359
in three four months from now,
pulls the trigger like what's it going to
262
00:17:48.440 --> 00:17:52.240
take? And I think that's where
everybody's kind of watch right now. The
263
00:17:52.279 --> 00:17:56.079
feeling is very reminiscent of Sammy that
Jay eventually turns on Roman, and that
264
00:17:56.839 --> 00:18:00.519
reaction from the fans may be bigger
than Sammy and Roman from Royal Rumble.
265
00:18:00.640 --> 00:18:06.680
So great show overall. I went
seven out Dot Trey went six and one.
266
00:18:06.759 --> 00:18:08.440
Coming out of the show, I
went forty three and fifteen Doctor Troy
267
00:18:08.440 --> 00:18:15.000
thirty nine and nineteen. Match of
the Night and event rating. I gave
268
00:18:15.200 --> 00:18:18.960
nxc xcuse me w Knight of Champions
four point one out of five, and
269
00:18:19.000 --> 00:18:22.559
I gave Sammy, Sandy, Kevin
Owens taking on Roman, Range and soloticoa
270
00:18:22.720 --> 00:18:26.839
my Match of the night, Doctor
Trey, what say you? I went
271
00:18:26.880 --> 00:18:27.839
a little lower. I was three
point nine. I thought it was a
272
00:18:27.880 --> 00:18:32.759
really solid show. Obviously the finishingly
great. The rest stuff kind of pulled
273
00:18:32.759 --> 00:18:34.599
it down a little bit for me. My match, I know I did.
274
00:18:34.720 --> 00:18:38.880
I went with Gunther and mustaf Ali. I love the crowd for that
275
00:18:38.920 --> 00:18:42.039
match. I mean, I mean
obviously the main event match. The crowd
276
00:18:42.079 --> 00:18:47.279
was really into it. But mustaf
Ali getting a chance to shine and then
277
00:18:47.359 --> 00:18:51.759
having a great match with Gunther.
He power bombed Gunther for crying out loud.
278
00:18:51.799 --> 00:18:55.039
That was incredible. So I gave
it to Gunther and mustaf Ali for
279
00:18:55.039 --> 00:18:56.279
the for match of the night.
And I was going to mention this at
280
00:18:56.319 --> 00:19:00.599
the top, but I'll mention it
now um off until we recap the show.
281
00:19:00.920 --> 00:19:03.880
These Saudi Arabia shows are just like
a regular wrestling, you know,
282
00:19:04.480 --> 00:19:07.200
premium life event. Now, there
was a period of time where it just
283
00:19:07.200 --> 00:19:10.480
felt like a throwaway. It's like, up, here's the Monsoor match,
284
00:19:11.119 --> 00:19:15.920
here's the legend that the Saudi Arabian
officials want to see. It's Goldberg versus
285
00:19:15.000 --> 00:19:21.759
Undertaker, It's Bray Wyatt versus Goldberger, gets Dax reuniting, It's the Brothers
286
00:19:21.759 --> 00:19:25.400
and Destructions. It's a legit show. Now, dout Trey and Propositivity.
287
00:19:25.440 --> 00:19:27.720
We for giving us a legit show
and not something that's just a throwaway.
288
00:19:29.160 --> 00:19:30.960
Not to mention like a couple of
things. I know. It is like,
289
00:19:30.000 --> 00:19:33.400
hey, they've changed the seatings.
Remember early on they had the big
290
00:19:33.440 --> 00:19:37.839
giant like throne looking chair, they
had like couches. Yeah, yeah,
291
00:19:37.880 --> 00:19:41.200
Now, I mean they look like
a wrestling show at a strip club.
292
00:19:41.480 --> 00:19:45.720
Basically early on it was weird.
It looks more like an actual event.
293
00:19:45.759 --> 00:19:48.920
And then also we're at a point
now they had three women's matches on that
294
00:19:48.960 --> 00:19:52.599
show, like how far has this? How far has w become in Saudi
295
00:19:52.640 --> 00:19:57.319
Arabia to have three women's matches when
we could barely get one early on,
296
00:19:57.400 --> 00:20:00.319
we just had three. It was
fantastic, Yeah, it was. It
297
00:20:00.359 --> 00:20:04.880
was a rat show overall, really
enjoyable, and that takes us to Sunday
298
00:20:04.960 --> 00:20:08.839
Night now. NXE Battleground recap review
of this past Sunny from the Songa Center
299
00:20:08.839 --> 00:20:12.799
in Lowe, Massachusetts. First match
was west Lee defeating Tyler Bit and Joe
300
00:20:12.799 --> 00:20:17.119
Gayzy and a triple threat match to
retain the NXCY North American Championship. We
301
00:20:17.240 --> 00:20:21.759
both at Joe Gacy such an enjoyable
triple threat match. Westlee continues to prove
302
00:20:21.799 --> 00:20:25.119
me wrong during the North American Championship
title rain. I don't think I've picked
303
00:20:25.200 --> 00:20:27.720
him once, suck to try,
and I think I should keep it that
304
00:20:27.759 --> 00:20:33.640
way. I think Westlee, it
would be happy if you stop, if
305
00:20:33.640 --> 00:20:37.079
you just kept not picking him to
win. I'm mad because typically I always
306
00:20:37.079 --> 00:20:41.000
picked Wesley and I didn't because I
thought Joe Gayzy really needed to win.
307
00:20:41.319 --> 00:20:45.119
It was a great I really enjoyed
the match. I don't I don't know
308
00:20:45.119 --> 00:20:48.599
about you. I don't know how
I feel about Tyler Bate right now.
309
00:20:48.640 --> 00:20:51.759
You think about Tyler Bate from now
to four years ago when he won the
310
00:20:51.799 --> 00:20:55.480
first UK title to where he's at
now. I just I don't feel like
311
00:20:55.599 --> 00:20:59.400
he's been elevated like. I don't
think he's any better now than he was
312
00:20:59.519 --> 00:21:02.440
four years In fact, he's probably
a stepped down from where he was,
313
00:21:02.519 --> 00:21:06.000
so that's a little discerning. Although
he does have like the Chris Hemsworth hair
314
00:21:06.160 --> 00:21:08.880
and mustatch thing going on right now, he does, he certainly does.
315
00:21:10.400 --> 00:21:12.759
Next match. There's no I'm Dard
fitting Dragon Lee in a British Rounds Rules
316
00:21:12.759 --> 00:21:17.319
match Retaine the NX Heritage Cup.
I had Dragon lead, doubt Trey and
317
00:21:17.359 --> 00:21:19.640
No i'm Dar. It looks like
No I'm Dar has himself a stable now
318
00:21:19.640 --> 00:21:23.079
and I'm not sure if the British
Rounds Rules match played well to a live
319
00:21:23.240 --> 00:21:26.640
US crowd at Battle Brown. I
did enjoy these matches in Axe UK,
320
00:21:26.799 --> 00:21:30.240
but it didn't seem like the crowd
was enjoying it. Doctor Try. I
321
00:21:30.319 --> 00:21:33.960
don't think the crowd really knew the
rules. You know, we're not like,
322
00:21:33.960 --> 00:21:37.200
we're not accustomed to this stuff.
And although they put it on screen
323
00:21:37.240 --> 00:21:40.680
for the at home audience, I
don't really know if they did that for
324
00:21:40.799 --> 00:21:45.960
the in ring crowd. So,
and they didn't do it on the actual
325
00:21:45.960 --> 00:21:48.759
introductions. So I think this is
one of the things that people are going
326
00:21:48.799 --> 00:21:53.279
to have, much like the all
that the Grand Championship they had an impact
327
00:21:53.400 --> 00:21:56.440
years ago. You know, it's
like it's gonna take a little while for
328
00:21:56.519 --> 00:22:00.240
people to really kind of figure it
out, figure out how it works,
329
00:22:00.359 --> 00:22:03.279
all those things. Because I was
still getting kind of lost because I didn't
330
00:22:03.279 --> 00:22:07.200
really follow it in NXT or in
NXTUK. So even I was like,
331
00:22:07.759 --> 00:22:11.640
wait, so if they get two
falls, it's over, like, but
332
00:22:11.000 --> 00:22:14.799
if it's tied, they don't go
to the route like. It was a
333
00:22:14.799 --> 00:22:18.400
little bit kind of confusing at first, and you know, so I'm still
334
00:22:18.400 --> 00:22:19.279
like, okay, give me another
one, give me another one, and
335
00:22:19.319 --> 00:22:22.039
then once I get the hang of
it, I'll be fine with it.
336
00:22:22.400 --> 00:22:25.319
Yeah, it does take a little
bit. I think they should have done
337
00:22:25.400 --> 00:22:29.000
more of those matches on NXEC television
to get fans ready. To be honest,
338
00:22:29.440 --> 00:22:33.640
I think there's only one, so
yeah, they should have done more
339
00:22:33.640 --> 00:22:37.440
heritage cut matches. Elia dragon offf
defeats Daijack in a last man standy match.
340
00:22:37.480 --> 00:22:41.440
I had Elia dot Trey a Dijack, really good compelling match. I
341
00:22:41.480 --> 00:22:42.920
had a great storytelling him. The
only thing is I wish they had a
342
00:22:42.920 --> 00:22:47.599
little bit more time to play it
out. Eli defeats Daijack Doctor Trey.
343
00:22:48.480 --> 00:22:52.359
Yeah, I really enjoyed this match. Elia Dragonof was one of like polarizing
344
00:22:52.400 --> 00:22:56.839
figures for me when it comes to
wrestling because he's so small, but yet
345
00:22:56.920 --> 00:23:00.920
he's so freaking brutal. Sometimes I'm
like, is that believable? Like,
346
00:23:02.400 --> 00:23:06.799
but he's just so entertaining to watch. Um, I don't know about you.
347
00:23:06.960 --> 00:23:08.400
Like, but when Djack came out
and like pointed out his wife and
348
00:23:08.400 --> 00:23:11.519
his kid and told her to like, hey, he doesn't need they don't
349
00:23:11.519 --> 00:23:15.039
even see this, I was kind
of hoping for an interaction with dragging off
350
00:23:15.079 --> 00:23:18.359
with them. But overall, like
the brutality of this match man was just
351
00:23:19.000 --> 00:23:22.319
second to none, Like those Kendos
stick shots in the corner man, it
352
00:23:22.480 --> 00:23:26.599
was killer, so I really enjoyed
it. I you know, five more
353
00:23:26.640 --> 00:23:30.079
minutes of it maybe would have paid
off a little bit more. But overall,
354
00:23:30.119 --> 00:23:33.640
man, it was a really really
fun match to watch and just super
355
00:23:33.640 --> 00:23:37.359
brutal. Next matches Gallasafeed and the
Creed Brothers to retain an exec Tag Team
356
00:23:37.440 --> 00:23:41.079
championship by the Gallast trade the Creed
Brothers solid tag match. I would have
357
00:23:41.119 --> 00:23:45.359
preferred a different finish than av attack
in Ivy Now Nile to distract the Creed
358
00:23:45.400 --> 00:23:49.720
Brothers leading to the loss, but
they did follow it up on NXEC television
359
00:23:51.200 --> 00:23:56.319
the next two nights, Tuesday Night, Gallasafeeds the Creeds out to try.
360
00:23:56.839 --> 00:23:59.759
Yeah, this is this is my
Westley thing. I'm not picking the Creeds
361
00:23:59.759 --> 00:24:03.960
any more. So ye welcome,
welcome to the club. Yeah. Just
362
00:24:03.039 --> 00:24:06.559
when I get on board with them, then they let me down. So
363
00:24:07.319 --> 00:24:08.640
but I do love Gallas. I
mean, Gallas reminds me of some of
364
00:24:08.680 --> 00:24:11.640
these indie tag teams I see out
there, because they don't look like your
365
00:24:11.680 --> 00:24:15.279
prototypical WW wrestlers. They just two
big, strong, tough guys that just
366
00:24:15.319 --> 00:24:19.400
beat the crap out each other.
I mean, watching that match, I
367
00:24:19.400 --> 00:24:23.079
mean those belly of bellies that Julius
was throwing. I'm like, you were
368
00:24:23.079 --> 00:24:26.000
not getting a Suplex City reference here, nothing like that. Like he was
369
00:24:26.039 --> 00:24:30.000
just tossing those boys around. And
that's why I was kind disappointing to finish,
370
00:24:30.039 --> 00:24:33.319
because I was like, man,
you made Julius look like a star.
371
00:24:33.359 --> 00:24:34.759
But then he's the one who took
the pin that took the pinfall loss.
372
00:24:34.839 --> 00:24:38.160
So um wasn't It wasn't a great
fan of the Fish, but the
373
00:24:38.160 --> 00:24:41.680
match itself was fine and really fun
to watch. And um Like, I'm
374
00:24:41.680 --> 00:24:45.119
a huge fan of the Crane,
but I'm just not gonna pick them anytime
375
00:24:45.160 --> 00:24:49.000
soon. Welcome MAT's how I feel
about Wesley. Um, I just completely
376
00:24:49.000 --> 00:24:53.960
whiff on all that. Next matches
Triffany Strat Tiffany Stratton defeating and liar Lyler
377
00:24:55.160 --> 00:25:00.440
Valka VALKILLERI jeez, I can't even
say this one. Tiffany Stratton defeating Lyra
378
00:25:00.640 --> 00:25:03.440
Valkyrie in the tournament final to win
the Vaca Anexy Women's Championship. We both
379
00:25:03.440 --> 00:25:07.640
had Tiffany Stratton. The crowd seemed
really into this match and or Tiffany.
380
00:25:08.240 --> 00:25:11.759
I thought the match was fine and
while the Tiffany Stretton character is definitely there.
381
00:25:12.160 --> 00:25:15.519
The in ring work is still a
step or two behind. If she
382
00:25:15.519 --> 00:25:18.440
could put that all together, she'll
be a force in WWE for some time.
383
00:25:18.839 --> 00:25:22.960
It kind of reminds me of how
Jade Cargill has been in AW where
384
00:25:22.000 --> 00:25:27.039
you can see the potential but the
in ring work is just not there yet,
385
00:25:27.880 --> 00:25:32.519
your thoughts ought to try. Yeah, it's it's one of those things.
386
00:25:32.640 --> 00:25:36.240
So I mean, this is the
w blueprint. Now, it's the
387
00:25:36.359 --> 00:25:40.079
Charlotte Flair, It's the Mandy Roadside
blueprint for Tiffany Stretton. They love their
388
00:25:40.119 --> 00:25:45.000
beautiful blonde bombshells. Like, I
thought the match was okay, but this
389
00:25:45.079 --> 00:25:48.000
goes to show that Tiffany needs a
good dance partner. Like you go back
390
00:25:48.000 --> 00:25:52.519
and watch that match with Rock Samperez
and she looks fantastic, and Lyra's maybe
391
00:25:52.519 --> 00:25:56.759
a step below where Rock sands at
and you can see it in the match.
392
00:25:56.359 --> 00:25:59.599
Plus like a couple those spots.
I just like, I don't think
393
00:25:59.640 --> 00:26:02.640
they're done it before, and it
just looked like they've never done it before.
394
00:26:03.079 --> 00:26:07.039
But I think the choice of putting
the title on Tiffany makes the most
395
00:26:07.079 --> 00:26:10.599
sense because she's the most likely person
to be booed by the fans at some
396
00:26:10.680 --> 00:26:12.920
point. Just you know, they
like if if they could start a new
397
00:26:12.960 --> 00:26:18.519
BFFs, Like, I'd be on
board with it. Yeah. You were
398
00:26:18.559 --> 00:26:22.319
a couple of people with who was
that summer Ray and Sasha Banks? Right
399
00:26:22.720 --> 00:26:27.200
the summer Sasha and then Charlish right
yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
400
00:26:27.200 --> 00:26:32.319
that was a great early NXT on
Dodoy Network group. Um yeah,
401
00:26:32.319 --> 00:26:36.960
they got to do something. And
did you did you watch Tuesday's NXC No?
402
00:26:37.720 --> 00:26:41.400
I had to work, so yeah
that sucks the working thing. You
403
00:26:41.440 --> 00:26:45.400
know, you gotta pay the bills. Tiffany Stratton's promo not good. I
404
00:26:45.799 --> 00:26:51.839
yeah, and in ring live promos
have not been great. Behind the scenes
405
00:26:52.720 --> 00:26:57.640
interviews with Mackenzie Mitchell or Vignette very
good. The in Rings it's almost like
406
00:26:57.680 --> 00:27:02.440
she's lost track of like what she's
supposed to say at times, Like it's
407
00:27:02.440 --> 00:27:07.359
these weird breaks in between. It's
it's the Jade Cargill effect for me.
408
00:27:07.359 --> 00:27:08.799
In doctory, It's like, you
know, this girl could be a star.
409
00:27:10.279 --> 00:27:12.480
It's just she's got to put it
all together here soon. I mean
410
00:27:12.519 --> 00:27:18.839
she's been she's only been in the
business less than what two years? And
411
00:27:18.839 --> 00:27:22.160
and I don't know who teaches promo
class in WW but we don't have a
412
00:27:22.200 --> 00:27:25.720
Dusty Rhodes there anymore, no,
you know, like that was I mean.
413
00:27:25.759 --> 00:27:29.000
And some people are just naturally gifted
and talented and some people they really
414
00:27:29.000 --> 00:27:32.799
have to work at it. And
I think she I think when and I've
415
00:27:32.799 --> 00:27:36.319
knows in her live promos like she
tends to focus on one subject line that
416
00:27:36.359 --> 00:27:37.519
she knows she has a nail,
but she will say it like three or
417
00:27:37.519 --> 00:27:41.440
four times and it just like,
yeah, we get the point, and
418
00:27:41.519 --> 00:27:44.000
Jade does kind of the same thing, you know, and then when once
419
00:27:44.000 --> 00:27:47.359
that point gets out there, they
go all right, now what you know,
420
00:27:47.400 --> 00:27:49.680
it just kind of comes off like
they're like deer in headlights. But
421
00:27:49.680 --> 00:27:52.400
then again, she's she's a blonde, so maybe she just forgets her lines.
422
00:27:52.440 --> 00:27:56.200
I don't know. And finally the
main event, Carmel Hayes defeats Broun
423
00:27:56.240 --> 00:28:00.640
Breaker just retain the NXC Championship.
We both Carmelo Hayes good back and forth
424
00:28:00.680 --> 00:28:04.079
physical match. Carmelo need this win. It continues show he is for real
425
00:28:04.160 --> 00:28:08.000
as the NXC champion. Be interest
to see what's next for braun Breaker Doctor
426
00:28:08.000 --> 00:28:12.720
Trey Carmela defeats Braun. M Yeah, I'm trying to figure out who's the
427
00:28:12.759 --> 00:28:18.119
free agent that they can bring down. I don't know. I mean Braun
428
00:28:18.160 --> 00:28:21.640
and Dragon off. I think that'd
be fun, I'd be interesting. I
429
00:28:21.640 --> 00:28:25.200
don't know. It is is kind
of one of those things where like where
430
00:28:25.200 --> 00:28:26.599
do you go with him? Do
you decide to move him to the main
431
00:28:26.720 --> 00:28:30.759
roster heading in the SummerSlam and they
can be kind of an attraction like debuting,
432
00:28:32.400 --> 00:28:33.759
or do you keep him an exc
longer. I think he's proven that
433
00:28:33.839 --> 00:28:37.599
he can be a heel and a
baby face. It's just where do they
434
00:28:37.599 --> 00:28:41.240
see him as a good fit going
forward? Because you land him on on
435
00:28:41.279 --> 00:28:45.799
Monday, I mean you land him
on SmackDown. You know, now,
436
00:28:45.799 --> 00:28:48.160
this is the guy that can physically
match up with Roman. If you decide
437
00:28:48.200 --> 00:28:51.039
to go that way, you put
him on Raw, he can physically match
438
00:28:51.119 --> 00:28:55.400
up with Gunther for the Innerconhel title. Like, you can go either way
439
00:28:55.440 --> 00:28:57.000
with him, just depends on what's
the best fit. Or you can leave
440
00:28:57.039 --> 00:29:00.839
him an exte for more seasoning as
a heel and then try to, you
441
00:29:00.880 --> 00:29:03.640
know, rebuild him back up to
be another threat. Because now he's owing
442
00:29:03.680 --> 00:29:07.279
two against Carmelo, did we interest
in what happens with Braun next because because
443
00:29:07.279 --> 00:29:11.599
I don't know, because that's always
the weird thing about NXC. These former
444
00:29:11.680 --> 00:29:15.920
champions. They reach a point where
they have the final match for the title,
445
00:29:15.000 --> 00:29:18.920
they lose, and then it's like, well, did they get called
446
00:29:18.000 --> 00:29:22.599
up? Does he go raw or
SmackDown? They just had the draft?
447
00:29:22.599 --> 00:29:23.839
Does he say an NXC? If
he does, what do you do with
448
00:29:23.920 --> 00:29:30.359
him? So interesting times for Braun. Carmelo has somebody that wants to vie
449
00:29:30.480 --> 00:29:33.680
for his NXC championship, Dot Trey. As the close of NXC television.
450
00:29:33.680 --> 00:29:37.119
Since you did not watch, I
will fill you in, and I think
451
00:29:37.319 --> 00:29:42.200
you're sitting down to hear this.
But Baron Corban made his NXC to return
452
00:29:42.319 --> 00:29:47.480
the free agent and he took out
Carmelo Hayes to close out this week's edition
453
00:29:47.480 --> 00:29:51.400
of NXC Television. After Carmelo retained
against no Am Daring the main event,
454
00:29:52.200 --> 00:29:56.519
Baron Corban Carmelo Hayes. I guess
I could get down with that. Now
455
00:29:56.519 --> 00:30:00.599
you're going to fill me in.
Now is this happy urban Baron Corban or
456
00:30:00.599 --> 00:30:06.119
a lone wolf Baron Corbin? It
it looks like it's just Baron Corbin.
457
00:30:07.400 --> 00:30:11.200
I guess, no gimmicks, No
gimmicks, Baron Corbin, no gimmicks.
458
00:30:11.240 --> 00:30:15.039
Yeah, there's your Chris Candido reference. I make it full. Yeah,
459
00:30:15.119 --> 00:30:19.359
you know I I do. I
don't mind the Baron Corbin moved down because
460
00:30:19.359 --> 00:30:23.680
he kind of needs to get out
of the main It's kind of the same
461
00:30:23.680 --> 00:30:27.279
thing with the Lias, Like he's
been buried and beating so much on the
462
00:30:27.279 --> 00:30:30.400
main roster. Like, hey,
maybe get him out of sight, out
463
00:30:30.440 --> 00:30:34.880
of mind for a while, try
something different, whatever it is. Uh,
464
00:30:36.000 --> 00:30:38.359
just don't make Baron have a brother
that we didn't know about. That's
465
00:30:38.400 --> 00:30:41.680
a twin. I'll be fine with
that as well. Um, it's it's
466
00:30:42.359 --> 00:30:45.960
and we've seen it work a little
bit for Apollo. We've seen it work
467
00:30:45.000 --> 00:30:52.759
in the past with you know,
Cesarro and uh t or Tyson kid Like
468
00:30:52.799 --> 00:30:55.480
we've seen these work. You know, we saw with Finn Balor. It
469
00:30:55.599 --> 00:30:57.680
worked with Finn. So it's a
chance to kind of get out of the
470
00:30:57.680 --> 00:31:00.680
eye. Get he said, because
in a lossie, Baron Corbyn's one of
471
00:31:00.720 --> 00:31:06.160
the best heels in professional wrestling.
It's just that right now he's kind of
472
00:31:06.240 --> 00:31:08.839
missed where nobody takes him seriously as
a credible threat. To win a match,
473
00:31:08.920 --> 00:31:12.000
and somehow you have to change that
narrative in order for him to be
474
00:31:12.000 --> 00:31:17.599
successful again. I went four and
two, Doctor went Frame three coming out
475
00:31:17.640 --> 00:31:22.920
of a forty seven and seventeen tray
forty two and twenty two Match of the
476
00:31:22.039 --> 00:31:26.559
Night event rating. I gave NXC
Battleground a three point five. My match
477
00:31:26.559 --> 00:31:30.440
to night was Wesley Tyler, Bate, Joe Gacy, Doctor Trey, What
478
00:31:30.519 --> 00:31:34.079
say you? I was three point
six. My match to night was Gallus
479
00:31:34.079 --> 00:31:38.799
and the Creed Brothers. Because that
Julius Creed, I I'm sold on him
480
00:31:38.799 --> 00:31:41.839
like that Dud's gonna be sorry.
And I told you man, I know,
481
00:31:41.960 --> 00:31:45.480
and I like Bruce. My only
issue Bruce is he needs a facial
482
00:31:45.519 --> 00:31:48.039
hair because he looks like he's an
overgrown thirteen year old bold ring. Sure
483
00:31:48.240 --> 00:31:52.599
he does. He does from like
Ohio or Iowa or something. Maybe they
484
00:31:52.640 --> 00:31:56.799
are from Iowa, I don't know. And then finally, aw dolla or
485
00:31:56.799 --> 00:32:00.920
nothing. Recap and review this past
sign from the T Mobile Arena and Nevada.
486
00:32:00.960 --> 00:32:04.039
I guess before we get into this
dive of Trey lots stuff going on
487
00:32:04.079 --> 00:32:07.119
social media. We mentioned this a
couple of weeks ago when we were talking
488
00:32:07.160 --> 00:32:12.839
about all In in the UK.
I was perplexed because all in the UK
489
00:32:13.039 --> 00:32:17.400
was selling Gangbusters sixty five thousand tickets
have been sold at this point, and
490
00:32:17.440 --> 00:32:22.880
then Doublore Nothing was having a really
tough time with their ticket sales, like
491
00:32:22.039 --> 00:32:27.000
it was like six hundred and sixty
in a three week span that were like
492
00:32:27.119 --> 00:32:32.039
sold by Brandon Thurston of Russell Nomics. And then you saw the pictures online.
493
00:32:32.079 --> 00:32:35.400
I don't know if you saw them
do Trey, but lots of empty
494
00:32:35.440 --> 00:32:40.119
seats just really disappointing to see because
you know, we want aw to thrive,
495
00:32:40.240 --> 00:32:44.400
but that was not a good look
at all, and I do believe
496
00:32:44.440 --> 00:32:46.839
it's reflective of what they've been put
on their television over the last three months.
497
00:32:47.480 --> 00:32:51.960
Well, it's also Vegas. I
mean in Vegas one of the hardest
498
00:32:51.960 --> 00:32:53.960
cities of drawing because you have so
much competition. I mean you got to
499
00:32:53.960 --> 00:33:00.000
think about I mean WW backed out
of the Allegiant Building Stadium. Yeah with
500
00:33:00.160 --> 00:33:05.200
the Raiders play. You know,
to me, I think you can put
501
00:33:05.279 --> 00:33:08.519
Vegas in Miami in the same category
when it comes to professional wrestling, where
502
00:33:08.519 --> 00:33:12.400
it's like, yeah, if it's
the only thing going on in town that
503
00:33:12.519 --> 00:33:14.799
night, it'll do a good crowd, but it's Italy. The crowds just
504
00:33:14.839 --> 00:33:19.519
aren't into it. They're not that
they're just kind of passive, you know,
505
00:33:20.359 --> 00:33:22.720
Los Angeles and we do like the
Staples Centers occasionally. He's kind of
506
00:33:22.720 --> 00:33:30.160
like that too. Some of these
like tourist attraction towns don't really draw well.
507
00:33:30.200 --> 00:33:32.920
You need kind of those blue collar
kind of cities for the crowds to
508
00:33:32.960 --> 00:33:36.720
really get behind him. So I
put I put some the blame, as
509
00:33:36.920 --> 00:33:39.559
you know once again, and the
T Mobile Center they help our mouths.
510
00:33:39.599 --> 00:33:43.000
And you're going to tell me the
T Mobile Center can only draw six and
511
00:33:43.000 --> 00:33:45.039
sixty people, like there's some other
things going on there, But I really
512
00:33:45.039 --> 00:33:50.359
think it's just Vegas on a Memorial
Day weekend more than anything else. Just
513
00:33:50.400 --> 00:33:53.079
to be clear, it wasn't six
hundred and sixty people in attendance oh sold
514
00:33:53.160 --> 00:33:55.440
you know, yeah, over like
a three week span. It was very
515
00:33:55.519 --> 00:34:00.279
very small numbers. First match,
you were somebody buying the hard He's in
516
00:34:00.319 --> 00:34:02.240
Hook defeat Ethan Page and the Guns
in a six man tag team match.
517
00:34:02.759 --> 00:34:07.440
Would the win Matt Hardy owns Ethan
Page's contract. We both had the Hardies
518
00:34:07.480 --> 00:34:09.400
in Hook solid opener and start the
show. They will be forever one of
519
00:34:09.440 --> 00:34:13.719
the best, but you can start
to see that time is catching him to
520
00:34:13.760 --> 00:34:16.760
the hardies. Unfortunately, Doctor try
Yeah, so does this mean that Ethan
521
00:34:16.840 --> 00:34:22.360
Page is in an indentured servants Like, I don't really know what a good
522
00:34:22.360 --> 00:34:24.960
guy owns the bad guy's contract.
I don't really know what they're gonna have
523
00:34:25.000 --> 00:34:27.840
him do. Is he gonna be
like put him in the French made out
524
00:34:27.880 --> 00:34:30.920
but the hardy compound? I don't
know. They didn't follow up it on
525
00:34:30.000 --> 00:34:36.199
Wednesday's Dynamite. I guess maybe Friday's
rampage, which was unfortunate. Yeah,
526
00:34:36.280 --> 00:34:37.559
shocking. They don't follow up on
that, but they'll put Hook in the
527
00:34:37.639 --> 00:34:40.079
rain to get beat up by the
embassy, to have Jungle Boy make the
528
00:34:40.119 --> 00:34:45.119
say, hey, you got to
reunite Junkle hook Man. Next match,
529
00:34:45.239 --> 00:34:50.920
just Orange Cassidy to retain the aw
International Championship and a twenty one man Blackjack
530
00:34:50.960 --> 00:34:54.320
Battle Royal. I had Orange Cassidy
on last week's show. We went back
531
00:34:54.360 --> 00:34:57.320
and forth. I was like,
I think Powerhouse Hobbs is in it.
532
00:34:57.400 --> 00:35:01.719
He wasn't, so I did give
Doctor the field. Nonetheless, Orange Cassidy
533
00:35:01.760 --> 00:35:07.440
did retain. Battle Royals can sometimes
be very formula lake and unoriginal, but
534
00:35:07.480 --> 00:35:09.320
I felt like this Battle Royal was
not that, and I really enjoyed the
535
00:35:09.360 --> 00:35:14.320
finishing minutes with Sweve Strickling and Orange
Cassidy. Orange Cassidy remains one of the
536
00:35:14.360 --> 00:35:16.360
best champions in all of russ In
Right now, Dot, trade your thoughts
537
00:35:16.400 --> 00:35:21.079
on the twenty one man Blackshack Battle
Royal. By the way, I love
538
00:35:21.159 --> 00:35:24.480
swerves look with kind of the cross
of being a rapper and then also being
539
00:35:25.039 --> 00:35:29.639
embassy. Look like it's like he's
a terrorist hip hop star. I love
540
00:35:29.679 --> 00:35:32.280
that look for some reason. Yeah, I mean for a Battle Royal.
541
00:35:32.320 --> 00:35:35.880
I enjoyed it. I love the
finish. The finish, the little half
542
00:35:35.960 --> 00:35:40.400
kick to take Swerve out was great. So it's just to me, I'm
543
00:35:40.440 --> 00:35:45.119
looking at going like we you have
to build like Swerve. Is Swerve really
544
00:35:45.360 --> 00:35:50.159
like the only credible challenger right now
for the international title? Like I love
545
00:35:50.159 --> 00:35:53.559
Orange Cassidy, I love the run, but you've got to learn to build
546
00:35:53.719 --> 00:35:58.159
the next level of challengers. I
don't think they really do that very well.
547
00:35:58.199 --> 00:36:01.159
For the undercards to speak, I
think actually Swerve could be the guy
548
00:36:01.159 --> 00:36:06.400
that stops the rain. Dot try
they're facing off at Wednesday's Dynamite. I'm
549
00:36:06.440 --> 00:36:08.880
a fan of Swerve right now.
I've enjoyed his run as of late.
550
00:36:09.519 --> 00:36:12.880
Yeah, I agree, Like,
if you're going to pull the trigger,
551
00:36:12.920 --> 00:36:15.960
now's the time. Um. Plus, apparently we're just gonna start by the
552
00:36:15.960 --> 00:36:19.760
way, you go back to a
jungle hook. Why we can't do hook
553
00:36:19.800 --> 00:36:24.599
boys, hook boys? Hook hooker
boys? Maybe hooker boys? Yeah?
554
00:36:25.000 --> 00:36:30.559
Tweet Tony con that against the gass
Boys the hooker Boys. Adam Cole defeats
555
00:36:30.599 --> 00:36:35.519
Chris Jericho in an unsanctioned match with
Sabo is the special guest enforcer with both
556
00:36:35.519 --> 00:36:38.239
at Adam Cole, I felt like
this match was a little bit underwhelming and
557
00:36:38.239 --> 00:36:42.239
disappointing at some good moments, but
overall felt like it missed the mark since
558
00:36:42.280 --> 00:36:45.360
there were high helps for the match
and it felt like the crowd lost interest
559
00:36:45.400 --> 00:36:49.519
as the match went on. To
have no idea why Sabo was even announced
560
00:36:49.519 --> 00:36:52.199
for this match, because he was
in it for like less than five minutes
561
00:36:52.239 --> 00:36:55.519
and then wasn't a special guest enforcer. Very strange, but Adam Cole got
562
00:36:55.519 --> 00:37:00.039
the victory Dutch tray, he went
through a table, he did, he
563
00:37:00.119 --> 00:37:02.920
did, God bless him. So
that's all the like Tony Goil everything,
564
00:37:04.000 --> 00:37:05.920
Tony con said, Hey, we'll
pay you some money to go through a
565
00:37:06.000 --> 00:37:09.840
table. I don't know how I
feel about this match because I didn't hate
566
00:37:09.880 --> 00:37:14.360
it, I didn't love it,
and then I don't know. I almost
567
00:37:14.360 --> 00:37:16.800
feel bad for Chris Jericho right now
because it just seems like he's in I'm
568
00:37:16.800 --> 00:37:20.480
gonna help, which is not a
bad thing. We've talked about Jericho being
569
00:37:20.559 --> 00:37:23.639
in women one of the ultimate soldiers
in professional wrestling, Like he's like right
570
00:37:23.679 --> 00:37:29.440
now, he's just trying to help
get everybody else over. But I feel
571
00:37:29.480 --> 00:37:32.039
like he's so far down the food
chains, like a credible world title challenger.
572
00:37:32.400 --> 00:37:37.119
I still think you need him upper
of the card and still stealing wins
573
00:37:37.159 --> 00:37:40.039
to help keep that just in case
you need to pull that trigger again.
574
00:37:40.119 --> 00:37:44.079
So like, I'm happy with the
match, and Adam Cole needs it because
575
00:37:44.079 --> 00:37:45.519
he's just he's back in dude,
I just kind of feel bad for Jericho.
576
00:37:46.679 --> 00:37:49.920
Yeah, Well, I don't know. I don't know how you can
577
00:37:49.960 --> 00:37:52.719
feel bad for Jericho sometimes, man. I mean he's there to put over
578
00:37:52.840 --> 00:37:57.880
guys, right yeah, and that's
he's done that for the last you know,
579
00:37:58.480 --> 00:38:00.960
five years, six years, not
just this AUW time, but even
580
00:38:01.000 --> 00:38:04.239
at the end of his WW run, he was guying there just to help
581
00:38:04.280 --> 00:38:07.440
put guys over, So that's kind
of his job now at this point,
582
00:38:07.480 --> 00:38:08.880
though, I know, I think
he takes pride in it. I think
583
00:38:08.880 --> 00:38:12.440
he takes pride. I do.
I agree. I guess you're right.
584
00:38:12.519 --> 00:38:14.800
I don't know if I feel sorry
for him. I just I love when
585
00:38:14.800 --> 00:38:17.880
the Jericho characters at the top of
the card. Although this was a great
586
00:38:17.920 --> 00:38:22.920
featured match, I like when Jericho's
in the title picture just because he's so
587
00:38:22.000 --> 00:38:27.239
much fun to watch and so much
fun to listen to. FTR defeats Jeff
588
00:38:27.320 --> 00:38:30.000
Jarret and Jay Lethal to retain the
end of a AW World Tag Team Champion,
589
00:38:30.000 --> 00:38:34.480
with Mark Briscoes a specially guest referee. Both at FTR solid match.
590
00:38:34.519 --> 00:38:37.360
I enjoyed the dynamical Mark brisco Is
the referee, and I enjoyed it.
591
00:38:37.440 --> 00:38:39.000
I did enjoy how this feud played
out. It was good stuff. FTR
592
00:38:39.119 --> 00:38:44.320
retains Yeah, and any Like we
said earlier, it's hard to believe that
593
00:38:45.079 --> 00:38:49.000
the two guys challenging for this match
were the two guys fighting Rick Flair his
594
00:38:49.119 --> 00:38:52.039
last match. Yeah, it's just
it's like, Wow, that's really kind
595
00:38:52.039 --> 00:38:55.199
of how we've come through this so
far. But I enjoyed it, and
596
00:38:55.360 --> 00:38:59.239
you know, like we talked about
last week's show, like Jeff Jarret's damn
597
00:38:59.239 --> 00:39:00.920
near national track meleasure to be as
old as he is and still perform at
598
00:39:00.960 --> 00:39:07.239
that lovely was tastic. You know, like, I really don't think with
599
00:39:07.320 --> 00:39:09.440
these four guys and then Adam Mark
Bresco, you can really have a bad
600
00:39:09.440 --> 00:39:15.039
match because there's ultimate professionals when it
comes to they're wrestling. Wardlow defeats Christian
601
00:39:15.079 --> 00:39:19.559
Cage in a ladder match retain AWT
and T Championship with Christian create Cage g
602
00:39:19.639 --> 00:39:22.760
in the victory. Good match,
Swanton bomb table spot was insane. Arn
603
00:39:22.840 --> 00:39:29.400
Anderson biting Luca's source's thumb was bad. Strange trend at this point with outside
604
00:39:29.440 --> 00:39:35.760
interference and influence in several double or
nothing matches. We saw interference in Adam
605
00:39:35.840 --> 00:39:39.119
Cole and Chris Jericho FTR and Jeff
Jarrett, and then they did it again
606
00:39:39.199 --> 00:39:46.000
with Wardlow and Christian Cage doctor Trey
what aw using outside interference and matches No,
607
00:39:46.599 --> 00:39:51.280
Like, look, there are times
I feel like I'm watching WCW at
608
00:39:51.320 --> 00:39:53.440
the end of their run like there's
some stuff going on where my guys,
609
00:39:53.480 --> 00:39:58.639
you just did outside interference three matches
in a row and we haven't even talked
610
00:39:58.679 --> 00:40:01.760
about the main of it yet.
So is It's like, can't we just
611
00:40:01.960 --> 00:40:06.880
like these the fans always talk about
they want clean finishes, they want wrestling,
612
00:40:06.920 --> 00:40:10.239
and they want true victors, and
yet we have all of these outside
613
00:40:10.239 --> 00:40:15.360
interference run in spots to make everybody
still look strong and nobody loses cleanly.
614
00:40:15.480 --> 00:40:20.039
But it's super indie wrestling at times. Speaking of which, Tony Storm defeats
615
00:40:20.119 --> 00:40:23.039
Jamie Hayder to win the AWE Women's
World Championship. We both had Tony Storm
616
00:40:23.079 --> 00:40:28.199
not a great match, lots of
again outside interference and influence. Again,
617
00:40:29.159 --> 00:40:30.920
felt like this was booked to right
Jamie Hayder off due to her injury.
618
00:40:31.000 --> 00:40:35.360
If so, props to Jamie if
you're getting it out despite battling her.
619
00:40:35.800 --> 00:40:38.800
Tony Storm is the new aw Women's
World Champion. Doctor try yeah, and
620
00:40:39.039 --> 00:40:44.639
maybe the least known person in the
outcasts. It's like, really, okay,
621
00:40:45.199 --> 00:40:46.360
I mean, if you ask the
casual, if you put I think
622
00:40:46.360 --> 00:40:50.679
it would be Ruby soho. I
gotta be honest. I think she had
623
00:40:50.719 --> 00:40:53.840
more main time on WWE. So
and if you ask, just if you
624
00:40:53.880 --> 00:40:59.840
put the pictures out of the Stormers
age, that's Ruby Riot, that's Tony's
625
00:41:00.119 --> 00:41:05.119
fair fair fair yep, I would
look h to me this This should have
626
00:41:05.159 --> 00:41:09.119
been a Sorea spot, like if
you're trying to set things up because you
627
00:41:09.199 --> 00:41:13.760
know we'll get into another match later, Like, I like, is she
628
00:41:13.960 --> 00:41:16.039
to the challenger? Is because Baker
looks like she's tied up with Sorea?
629
00:41:16.199 --> 00:41:20.159
Like is she to the next challenger
for Tony Storm? Like? Is that
630
00:41:20.239 --> 00:41:23.320
where we're going? And if so, haven't we kind of already seen Sheta
631
00:41:23.440 --> 00:41:27.920
in this title picture? And is
Rio missing? Do we need to put
632
00:41:27.960 --> 00:41:30.159
out like a milk carton for her? Like? Where at the hell is
633
00:41:30.280 --> 00:41:32.719
Rio? She's been that way since
the pandemic. Yeah, it's like she's
634
00:41:32.800 --> 00:41:37.480
here for a little bit, She's
not. House of Black defeat The Acclaimed
635
00:41:37.480 --> 00:41:40.840
and Billy Gunn in a open house
rules match or retained the aw Trio's championship.
636
00:41:40.840 --> 00:41:44.599
We did not put through this match
as it was not announced when we
637
00:41:44.760 --> 00:41:47.559
recorded. Match started slow but picked
up towards the middle fun match. The
638
00:41:47.639 --> 00:41:52.159
open house rules match presentation is really
simple but great visually. House of Black
639
00:41:52.239 --> 00:41:55.480
retained actor try. Yeah. I
was confused at first when they said House
640
00:41:55.519 --> 00:41:59.199
of Black ants and open house rules, I was like, are they are
641
00:41:59.239 --> 00:42:01.440
they selling? Their house? Is
the House of Black up for sale?
642
00:42:01.559 --> 00:42:05.559
And if you ever been to an
open house, they usually have snacks and
643
00:42:05.599 --> 00:42:09.760
there was no snacks but fun match
and the entire time all I can think
644
00:42:09.760 --> 00:42:14.519
about is Buddy Murphy data Alexa Bliss, and now he's dating Rhea Ripley,
645
00:42:14.639 --> 00:42:17.800
Like apparently that man has no type
because those are total opposite ends of the
646
00:42:17.840 --> 00:42:22.559
spectrum. But kudos to Buddy and
Murphy for his love life as well.
647
00:42:22.920 --> 00:42:28.320
Jade Cargill defeats Tie of Valka retain
the to retain the awtb's Championship. We
648
00:42:28.400 --> 00:42:30.599
both had Jade Cargill matches a bit
of a cluster. If Jay can put
649
00:42:30.679 --> 00:42:35.360
it together, she would be one
of the biggest women wrestling stars in the
650
00:42:35.519 --> 00:42:38.480
game today. It does feel like
she may have plateaued in ring wise though
651
00:42:38.639 --> 00:42:43.440
Dutch trade. Jade Cargill retained in
mismatch. Yeah, Like, if she
652
00:42:43.519 --> 00:42:45.639
can ever put together, she'd be
the African American trailer flair, Like she
653
00:42:45.760 --> 00:42:50.039
has all the athleticism to look at
the charisma everything. If she can ever
654
00:42:50.119 --> 00:42:55.119
just put it together, it'd be
great. Just once again. This kind
655
00:42:55.119 --> 00:43:00.199
of it kind of felt like crappy
for Tia because it's the Athena, it's
656
00:43:00.239 --> 00:43:04.239
the Ruby, soho. It's like, you get these big stars to come
657
00:43:04.280 --> 00:43:06.960
in to help la a j but
then what do you do with him after?
658
00:43:07.119 --> 00:43:09.639
And I don't know about you.
I was totally confused by taias staring
659
00:43:09.639 --> 00:43:13.360
at the TV on Dynamite. It
was totally confused. She's mad at the
660
00:43:13.599 --> 00:43:16.079
person who wins the next match.
I want to get right into it.
661
00:43:16.400 --> 00:43:20.599
Yeah, go right into it.
Chris stat Landard feats Jade Cargill to win
662
00:43:20.800 --> 00:43:23.960
the AWTBS Championship. We did not
predict that. Obviously, nice surprise to
663
00:43:24.000 --> 00:43:28.199
see Chris stat Lander back from injury, but even sweeter to see her defeat
664
00:43:28.280 --> 00:43:32.199
Jade Cargill to win the AWTVS Championship
in a imprompt to match. Stan leanderd
665
00:43:32.199 --> 00:43:36.679
has gone through a lot the last
two years with multiple torn ACL injuries,
666
00:43:37.000 --> 00:43:38.800
and it's nice to see her get
some gold in a return as she deserves
667
00:43:38.840 --> 00:43:43.639
that. This also protects Jade Carter
Giles, she finally lost in an imprompt
668
00:43:43.719 --> 00:43:46.719
two match rather than it was booked
in advance, and I thought the streak
669
00:43:46.800 --> 00:43:50.360
was a little bit stale because I
just felt like fans didn't believe in it.
670
00:43:50.760 --> 00:43:53.800
Chris stat Lanard is the new TBS
champion Dodger Try. Yeah, totally
671
00:43:53.840 --> 00:43:59.639
happy for Chris dat Lander. Like, I thought it was a good move
672
00:43:59.679 --> 00:44:06.480
because that helped elevate another young talent
that is similar to Jade and Tia and
673
00:44:06.840 --> 00:44:10.400
build an athleticism. I do miss
the alien gimmick full disclosure. I like
674
00:44:10.559 --> 00:44:16.440
the booping, but like you said, it's say it spares Jade, it
675
00:44:16.599 --> 00:44:21.639
elevates stat Lander, and then,
like I said, like Tie is mad
676
00:44:21.719 --> 00:44:25.519
because she lost, but the next
person one, Like you're making Tie a
677
00:44:25.800 --> 00:44:30.519
heel out of this, Like that
part of I think the probably the storyline
678
00:44:30.599 --> 00:44:34.159
is that Tie a soft and drop
for Christallander. Right, yeah, but
679
00:44:34.199 --> 00:44:39.920
then you're automatically turning a brand new
person heel because of her losing. Like
680
00:44:40.039 --> 00:44:45.239
it's like you haven't the crowd Like
if if you turn her, the crowd
681
00:44:45.320 --> 00:44:47.280
doesn't care because they haven't had time
to invest in her one lay or the
682
00:44:47.360 --> 00:44:52.000
other. So that's why I don't
like that angle going forward, because you're
683
00:44:52.039 --> 00:44:54.079
going to turn her and you're not
going to get a reaction out of it.
684
00:44:54.800 --> 00:44:58.679
I do you feel like tie is
a much better heel than a much
685
00:44:58.719 --> 00:45:02.320
better heal in a baby face?
Yes? I agree. Next match here
686
00:45:02.519 --> 00:45:07.360
is MJF defeating Sama Cavara, Darby
Allen, and jungle Boy Jack Perry in
687
00:45:07.480 --> 00:45:09.840
a four way match to retain the
AW World Championship with both at MJF.
688
00:45:10.280 --> 00:45:13.960
Really good fatal four away match.
Loved a lot of spots in this match,
689
00:45:14.079 --> 00:45:16.079
from all three guys team up early
on to take out MJF, to
690
00:45:16.199 --> 00:45:20.280
the tribute to the mentors, to
Jungle Boy toying with using the AW World
691
00:45:20.360 --> 00:45:24.159
Championship as a weapon to the finish
that made so much sense with mjf's character
692
00:45:24.800 --> 00:45:30.599
with the belt on top of jungle
Boy, the when Darby was doing the
693
00:45:30.639 --> 00:45:37.039
Cascad drop and then doing the head
lock takeover a nice callback to their feud.
694
00:45:37.440 --> 00:45:40.119
Fun and entertaining match, Doctor Trey, what say you as MJF retains
695
00:45:40.760 --> 00:45:45.239
and best entrance of the weekend.
Like out of all the shows, I
696
00:45:45.280 --> 00:45:47.159
thought MGF had the best entrance.
I love the throne, the mask,
697
00:45:47.320 --> 00:45:51.519
the people, I loved all that
stuff. Match was really really good,
698
00:45:52.360 --> 00:45:55.840
But then you leave the question.
Now, MJF just beat the other three
699
00:45:55.880 --> 00:45:59.679
pillars? What does that mean for
the other three pillars? And we saw
700
00:45:59.719 --> 00:46:02.280
a little little bit with you know, Jungle Boy and Hook, we saw
701
00:46:02.320 --> 00:46:08.400
a little bit with Derby and Staying
and Orne Cassidy. So we just gotta
702
00:46:08.400 --> 00:46:12.079
figure out what they're doing. Is
Sammy next? It's just once again,
703
00:46:12.800 --> 00:46:15.239
have you built anybody up to be
the next challenger? Like you have to
704
00:46:15.360 --> 00:46:19.639
have a plan of succession in line
when it comes to building folks. So
705
00:46:19.719 --> 00:46:22.639
maybe it's Sammy, you know,
maybe they count they circle back to it.
706
00:46:22.760 --> 00:46:25.239
But uh, it's great for MJF. It's great for the MJF character.
707
00:46:25.719 --> 00:46:30.800
Storytelling was fantastic, But once again, who's next in line? You
708
00:46:30.960 --> 00:46:34.360
have to have that kind of thing
in mindset and they didn't pay it off
709
00:46:34.880 --> 00:46:37.159
on Dynamite, their biggest show of
the week. To answer your next in
710
00:46:37.239 --> 00:46:40.679
line question, I think it's Adam
Cole. The reports out that there was
711
00:46:40.760 --> 00:46:47.360
a segment last week on Dynamite between
Britt Breaker and MJF that was pre taped
712
00:46:47.960 --> 00:46:53.400
that was going to lead towards the
seeds being planted for that and they trashed
713
00:46:53.480 --> 00:46:58.519
at that point. Um. I
think Adam Cole's next in line, and
714
00:46:58.599 --> 00:47:02.000
then I think the enter question of
this is or the I guess a statement
715
00:47:02.119 --> 00:47:07.159
more more or less here is.
I felt like Sammy LaVar came out of
716
00:47:07.159 --> 00:47:08.960
a feed as a star doctor Trey, like he became a baby face again,
717
00:47:09.440 --> 00:47:14.320
like and he was very hateable.
Like the baby announcement kind of wrapped
718
00:47:14.400 --> 00:47:16.239
up. I'm like, dude,
Sammy, is Sammy with JS anymore?
719
00:47:16.280 --> 00:47:22.199
Because fans are down with Sammy var
again? Yeah, I think in Sammy's
720
00:47:22.280 --> 00:47:24.559
one of and I don't know if
you agree to Sammy maybe one of the
721
00:47:24.599 --> 00:47:30.599
most polarizing people in professional wrestling.
Like you either love Sammy or you hate
722
00:47:30.599 --> 00:47:36.440
Sammy. There's no middle ground.
But as one who was a reviled heel
723
00:47:37.159 --> 00:47:42.000
that proposed to his girlfriend in the
ring in front of a live audience and
724
00:47:42.119 --> 00:47:45.960
the crowd ate it up and kind
of turned me baby face for about two
725
00:47:46.000 --> 00:47:51.679
weeks. People love happy endings,
people love happy news, and it's kind
726
00:47:51.719 --> 00:47:53.760
of hard to boo the guy where
they come out announced that they're having a
727
00:47:53.800 --> 00:47:58.960
baby together. So just thinking about
this, in eighteen years, you could
728
00:47:58.960 --> 00:48:04.559
have the Tai Conti child battled,
the Alexa Bliss child. Oh, stay
729
00:48:04.639 --> 00:48:07.440
tuned, Stay tuned for more next
match here. This is the main event
730
00:48:07.519 --> 00:48:13.760
in Blackpool. Combat Club defeats the
Elite and the Anarchy in the arena match.
731
00:48:13.840 --> 00:48:16.239
We both at the Elite and victory. Fun match. Love the music
732
00:48:16.320 --> 00:48:21.880
playing throughout. I did like Takeshka
turning down the Elite and then how about
733
00:48:21.920 --> 00:48:24.440
Wheeler you to getting the pin on
Kenny Omega and then he followed it up
734
00:48:24.519 --> 00:48:30.599
on Wednesday's Dynamite as well. But
big for Wheeler Utah to get the pin
735
00:48:30.719 --> 00:48:36.280
on Kenny like that was insane.
Doctor trade your thoughts outside interference? Oh
736
00:48:36.360 --> 00:48:40.400
of course, uh some shenanigans involved. I love. So this reminds me
737
00:48:40.480 --> 00:48:45.519
a little bit of Paul Hayman when
they gave him right back and they gave
738
00:48:45.599 --> 00:48:50.920
him Curtis Curtis Axel back in the
day, Like, Hey, we have
739
00:48:51.039 --> 00:48:52.480
these guys that we think we go. We just know they need a mouthpiece,
740
00:48:53.000 --> 00:49:00.159
you know. And so the pairing
of of Don kalis in Takushida can't
741
00:49:00.159 --> 00:49:05.800
pronounce his name, that's my liar
to Keshka. I love the pairing because
742
00:49:05.840 --> 00:49:10.440
ta Kesha's English isn't fantastic, so
having and I mean seriously, Don Callis's
743
00:49:10.519 --> 00:49:15.159
heat that he got on Wednesday night. It was the most heat I've seen
744
00:49:15.199 --> 00:49:20.800
a manager get since the nineties,
Like I have never seen a manager get
745
00:49:20.880 --> 00:49:24.480
booed that hard and forever. So
I loved it, as you know,
746
00:49:24.599 --> 00:49:29.199
a lifelong fan of wrestling managers.
So and then you too, getting the
747
00:49:29.199 --> 00:49:30.760
winds great for him in his career
because he can always hold that up and
748
00:49:30.840 --> 00:49:34.599
then they can always circle back to
at some point like it's let's say keny
749
00:49:34.639 --> 00:49:37.760
Omega at some point against the world
title, hey Udo can always bring up
750
00:49:37.760 --> 00:49:39.440
the fact he pinned him. He
deserves the title shot. So I love
751
00:49:39.559 --> 00:49:44.880
that it gives that young man some
some ammunition down the road when he needs
752
00:49:44.920 --> 00:49:49.440
to use it. And then pay
per view prediction records I went seven and
753
00:49:49.599 --> 00:49:52.280
two, Dot Tree went six and
three, closing out the entire weekend,
754
00:49:52.639 --> 00:49:57.320
I went fifty four and nineteen.
Doctor Trey went forty eight and twenty five.
755
00:49:57.440 --> 00:50:00.800
For the year, Match of the
Night and event rating, I gave
756
00:50:00.840 --> 00:50:05.760
double or nothing any three point six
and I gave MJF Samon Cavar At,
757
00:50:05.800 --> 00:50:07.159
Darby Allan and Jungle Boy in my
Match of the night doubt to try.
758
00:50:07.880 --> 00:50:12.239
I was at a three point seven
once again, like one of my things
759
00:50:12.280 --> 00:50:15.079
on papers, I need a moment
where it is memorable that I'm going to
760
00:50:15.119 --> 00:50:17.960
remember for five or ten years.
I don't think we got that, really.
761
00:50:19.920 --> 00:50:22.920
But I also went with the four
Pillar match mainly because I loved and
762
00:50:23.079 --> 00:50:27.079
Jf's entrance, and I really thought
that, like you said, they paid
763
00:50:27.119 --> 00:50:30.800
homage to their mentors. You know, you tease a Jungle Boy heel turn
764
00:50:30.880 --> 00:50:34.840
if they go that route. At
some point, if Jungle Boy turns on
765
00:50:34.960 --> 00:50:36.960
hook, I might pop for that, I will say, I will say
766
00:50:37.000 --> 00:50:38.360
that, so that'd be kind of
cool. I thought that was coming.
767
00:50:38.440 --> 00:50:40.760
I really did. And I also
thought the Acclaim was going to turn on
768
00:50:40.880 --> 00:50:47.519
Daddy ass on Dynamite this past week. That was the second worst promo behind
769
00:50:47.519 --> 00:50:52.880
the Tiffany Strand thing, apparently because
that Acclaimed believe it made no sense,
770
00:50:52.480 --> 00:50:54.280
Like what was the point of this? Yeah, it was like, what
771
00:50:55.079 --> 00:50:59.880
is this leading in? Something?
Like? It was bizarre, very bizarre,
772
00:51:00.440 --> 00:51:04.280
all right, doctor. The big
news outside of everything that took place
773
00:51:04.360 --> 00:51:12.800
this past week is America's Professional wrestling
in America's Nightmare is over as aw Tony
774
00:51:12.920 --> 00:51:19.000
Kahn has announced the return of cmpunk
to all Elite wrestling will be taking place
775
00:51:19.119 --> 00:51:22.840
on Saturday Night Collision June seventeenth from
the United c that are in Chicago,
776
00:51:22.920 --> 00:51:28.760
Illinois. The back and forth of
Willie Ever Wrestle again, the issues with
777
00:51:28.840 --> 00:51:37.519
AW buying the scenes, the Instagram
post story, NDA's the brawlout, suspensions,
778
00:51:37.679 --> 00:51:45.400
torn triceps, John Moxley being mad. It's over essentially until he gets
779
00:51:45.440 --> 00:51:50.159
buying the scenes and maybe another brawl
out happens. But we have heard for
780
00:51:50.199 --> 00:51:54.920
the first time since September twenty twenty
two, Cmpunk's name uttered another. There's
781
00:51:54.960 --> 00:52:00.840
been other times, but I guess
for actual stakes in the game. See
782
00:52:00.920 --> 00:52:07.960
him Punk uttered on AW television and
returning to the ring acknowledgement from the announcers,
783
00:52:08.320 --> 00:52:13.000
your thoughts see him Punk is back, by the way, So when
784
00:52:13.000 --> 00:52:15.159
you saw it when they went to
the live announced table after they made the
785
00:52:15.199 --> 00:52:22.000
announcement, I think Tony Shivanni hate
see him Punk, Like he looked disgusted,
786
00:52:22.079 --> 00:52:24.280
almost like he's sold it, like
excuse me, Like he sold it
787
00:52:24.400 --> 00:52:28.079
like he was like, hey,
it's great news. It's the greatest night
788
00:52:28.119 --> 00:52:30.039
in the history of our business.
But you can just see him almost like
789
00:52:30.119 --> 00:52:34.559
rolling his eyes. Well, I
was like, it'll be interesting how he
790
00:52:34.599 --> 00:52:37.119
comes back as he baby face or
heel. I also thought it was very
791
00:52:37.199 --> 00:52:40.239
awkward the way that Tony Conn did
it. Who is just Lord love him,
792
00:52:40.320 --> 00:52:45.239
but he's just very awkward on television. He reminds me of like the
793
00:52:45.400 --> 00:52:47.239
kid who has to give a book
report and does not like standing in front
794
00:52:47.239 --> 00:52:51.880
of the classroom. Oh it's terrible
pretapes like where's the guy that was on
795
00:52:52.000 --> 00:52:54.440
Impact Wrestling in twenty twenty? Oh
yeah, I mean, but then again,
796
00:52:54.519 --> 00:52:57.719
like it's easy to be a heel, it's hard to be likable,
797
00:52:57.880 --> 00:53:01.400
that's true, But then again,
is this not one of the most anti
798
00:53:01.519 --> 00:53:08.679
climactic big news type thing Like I
don't really like to have the big announcement
799
00:53:09.079 --> 00:53:15.039
that we're having collision and then was
it a week later, two weeks later,
800
00:53:15.079 --> 00:53:19.199
I don't know the exact timeline,
but to have a pre taped announcement
801
00:53:19.360 --> 00:53:23.199
during the middle of Dynamites that hey, we're just happy to announce that CM
802
00:53:23.239 --> 00:53:27.559
punk will be a collisions, Like, man, you could have made that
803
00:53:27.840 --> 00:53:34.880
way grander And maybe it's their way
of kind of test and still poking CM
804
00:53:34.920 --> 00:53:37.840
Punk And I don't know about you. That crowd was split. It was
805
00:53:37.960 --> 00:53:40.599
they said it was sixty forty.
I read online that a lot of fans
806
00:53:40.639 --> 00:53:45.800
and attendance were like sixty forty in
favor of Punk, and you gotta figure
807
00:53:45.840 --> 00:53:50.519
that's gonna be that way and unless
it's Chicago, and then like, what
808
00:53:50.719 --> 00:53:53.159
does this do to the Dynamite ratings? I mean, because they still have
809
00:53:53.280 --> 00:53:57.840
not announced if it's a brand split
or we're going to have people on bullshow,
810
00:53:57.960 --> 00:54:01.159
like what we're gonna do? Like
if that CM Punk show, are
811
00:54:01.239 --> 00:54:06.559
the punk fans gonna not watch Dynamite
out of loyalty to punk and vice versa?
812
00:54:07.199 --> 00:54:09.239
Like is that actual? Actually don't
doubt that. I don't think it's
813
00:54:09.280 --> 00:54:13.800
as cultish as it was, like
you know, two three years ago when
814
00:54:13.840 --> 00:54:17.159
he was coming back, and you
know, cultish when he was away from
815
00:54:17.199 --> 00:54:23.039
wrestling all this time. I think
I think the majority of fans don't side
816
00:54:23.079 --> 00:54:29.360
with what he did, right Like
you and I are big sampunk stands,
817
00:54:29.679 --> 00:54:32.400
and I don't agree with what he
did during that press comment. So I
818
00:54:32.519 --> 00:54:37.880
think you don't air that dirty laundry
out following all out like that. Yeah,
819
00:54:38.039 --> 00:54:40.639
no, that I agree with,
But then again, I still like
820
00:54:40.760 --> 00:54:45.119
I still hold to that my blame
for that whole situation is don't be gone
821
00:54:45.320 --> 00:54:51.079
agree agree, But Sony just stood
there like a goof and just making a
822
00:54:51.400 --> 00:54:54.480
happy face and nodding his head in
agreement. So yeah, I don't think
823
00:54:54.519 --> 00:54:58.320
he what he did was the right
thing to do. But like it,
824
00:54:58.519 --> 00:55:00.599
you know, like you just said, if the crowd, if the live
825
00:55:00.719 --> 00:55:05.800
crowd and a neutral city is split, sixty forty, Now Chicago crowd is
826
00:55:05.800 --> 00:55:08.480
gonna be like all about it.
But you know if if a live crowd
827
00:55:08.519 --> 00:55:12.400
in neutral city sixty forty are like, what are the fans at home?
828
00:55:13.119 --> 00:55:15.519
Like are they sixty forty? And
some people may not watch it just because
829
00:55:15.559 --> 00:55:20.599
they dislike everything that happens. So
I don't know they need him back,
830
00:55:21.119 --> 00:55:24.599
like it's clear his day they need
him. But like I hate to say
831
00:55:24.679 --> 00:55:30.239
that, but it's the truth.
Like AW television has not been great like
832
00:55:30.400 --> 00:55:35.199
double or nothing was. It was
a solid show, but it was disappointing
833
00:55:35.360 --> 00:55:38.800
on the AW standards. Yeah,
you expect a lot more excitement, a
834
00:55:38.880 --> 00:55:45.440
lot more buzz, a lot better
in ringwork. The multiple like outside interferences
835
00:55:45.519 --> 00:55:52.159
was laughable throughout the show. It's
just creatively there's been something missing from AW
836
00:55:52.320 --> 00:55:55.159
for a long time, and I
think having seen him punk back. There
837
00:55:55.440 --> 00:56:00.400
is gonna help at least that's my
hope. Yeah. I just look at
838
00:56:00.480 --> 00:56:05.320
like to have that announcement at that
point of the show, and the way
839
00:56:05.360 --> 00:56:07.800
it was done, it was weird. It was and it's so like an
840
00:56:08.000 --> 00:56:12.960
can't do a Yeah, you can't
do a vignette. No. He comes
841
00:56:13.000 --> 00:56:15.800
out to the ring for every other
big news event he does, but he
842
00:56:15.840 --> 00:56:17.920
does a pre tape on this.
He's been doing the pre tapes lately though
843
00:56:19.639 --> 00:56:22.440
he's a busy man. He's trying
to move the job wards. I just
844
00:56:22.599 --> 00:56:24.639
think that they know that it's really
strange when he gets on the screen,
845
00:56:24.760 --> 00:56:29.320
like did you see his announcement about
the owen Hart Cup, like and them
846
00:56:29.400 --> 00:56:31.840
going to Canada? No, I
missed that one, dear God. Like
847
00:56:32.119 --> 00:56:37.159
so when he announced the dates and
I don't know if it was for Collision
848
00:56:37.320 --> 00:56:40.800
or the owen Hart Cup or mixture
of both. I don't remember, but
849
00:56:40.960 --> 00:56:45.960
he said Regina, which is a
city in Canada, and you could hear
850
00:56:45.000 --> 00:56:50.880
the crowd laughing, like I don't
There was just like emphasis on him saying
851
00:56:50.960 --> 00:56:53.960
Regina, Like it was like,
dude, Like I like Tony con I
852
00:56:53.960 --> 00:56:59.800
appreciate everything he's done. With aw
dude talk work like the hugs, his
853
00:57:00.039 --> 00:57:05.960
delivery on stuff. I feel like
he hit like fifteen and then that was
854
00:57:06.000 --> 00:57:07.960
it, Like he stopped at fifteen
in his life, like the age of
855
00:57:08.079 --> 00:57:13.519
fifteen, like over emphasizing red giants
like it's a funny word, you know,
856
00:57:13.679 --> 00:57:16.559
and then just that awkward smile like
I'll tell you right now if if
857
00:57:17.000 --> 00:57:21.679
I opened up my window and that
face was smiling at me I when I'm
858
00:57:21.719 --> 00:57:25.400
calling the cops, Like it's just
kind of a creepy, odd look he
859
00:57:25.760 --> 00:57:30.840
presents. And as much as we
used to hate on Vince, like when
860
00:57:30.960 --> 00:57:35.920
Vince was on TV, it was
compelling television, whether it going back to
861
00:57:36.039 --> 00:57:38.559
his announcing days or the mister McMahon
character or any other iteration of him,
862
00:57:39.000 --> 00:57:43.039
Like I don't know if there's anybody
else that's been in a leadership role.
863
00:57:43.400 --> 00:57:45.559
And this goes back to the beginning. Remember in the beginning, they didn't
864
00:57:45.559 --> 00:57:50.000
want Tony on TV at all.
Oh rightfully so, and Tony's on TV
865
00:57:50.119 --> 00:57:53.000
every week now, so it's kind
of like again that delivery, and it's
866
00:57:53.039 --> 00:57:57.880
like and at the debut episode,
will be see him punk like you almost
867
00:57:57.880 --> 00:58:00.719

like, wait, you say punk and
868
00:58:00.760 --> 00:58:05.199
then they cut to the crowd like
you can't even have a bill towards that
869
00:58:05.519 --> 00:58:10.639
and joining us for his return to
the company at AW Collision in his hometown

former two time AW World champion c M
871
00:58:16.760 --> 00:58:21.960
Punk. Like, really, you

872
00:58:22.079 --> 00:58:25.159
Maybe it's a maybe it's a fake
cmpunk. Maybe he's learning from the vince
873
00:58:25.239 --> 00:58:31.239
Rest. Yeah, it could be
see him Hunk, see him monk dunk.

00:58:35.880 --> 00:58:39.800

like Friar Tuck with a straight edged with
876
00:58:39.960 --> 00:58:44.760
a straight edge of fist, wrist
tapes and stuff. Oh my god,
877

that's gonna be. That's if I
can get that somebody to do that gimmick.

879
00:58:50.800 --> 00:58:54.519

Waffle over at his shows. Stay tuned,
