Speaker 2 (06:04):
You were listening to Wrestling Observer Live with Brian Alvarez
and Mike simperviv on the Sports Byline Broadcasting Network.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Already back here in the show, Bryan Elverez here Wrestling
Observer Live. Mike made it.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
I'm here.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
What happened?
Speaker 3 (06:18):
Now Comcast?
Speaker 1 (06:21):
I know, but what happened? Obviously there's a problem with Comcast.
Speaker 10 (06:24):
I got home and it's like, nothing is working. Why
is nothing working? The bill is paid, everything should be working.
So I call up hold On, let me put you
on hold. Fifteen minutes later, at three to oh two,
they got back to me and went, everything should be
starting up. Now, here's your ticket number. Okay, great, Why
did this happen? Is anybody coming out nothing?
Speaker 4 (06:46):
Hold on?
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Hey, dumb? Is Comcast day an advertiser?
Speaker 3 (06:50):
No, they're not.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Okay, you know they suck.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
They do. They can kiss my whole rear end.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
Well, you know, I just have a question for everybody, like,
is anybody listening right now? Does anybody who's listening right
now have Comcast and they've never had a problem? Anybody?
Well wait, because you know, believe it or not, believe
it or not. And some people would say that this
was a problem, but it really wasn't because it was
my own fault. You know, when I found out that
(07:15):
I'd been paying one hundred and fifty dollars a month
for a landline for the last six years, and I
ended up, you know, getting that axed off my bill.
I mean it was my fault. I mean I had
the landline. I was using it for the show, and
then one day I found a way to take calls
without a landline, and like I set everything up and
(07:36):
everything like that, and you know, just didn't even think about, Hey,
maybe I should cancel the landline. But the point is,
that's not their fault. That was my fault. I don't
think I have ever had a single problem ever I
got Ziply Fiber. I don't think I've ever had a
single problem with them. It's it's it's crazy.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
I'm so jealous.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
I had Comcasts sucked, I had Frontier sucked, I had
Verizon sucked. I mean they all sucked. But I've never
had a problem with Ziply ever.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
It's crazy they didn't they stopped running fiber. Verizon did.
Speaker 10 (08:13):
Like is somewhere in like Dover, which is way far
away from.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
The home of the Dover Demon.
Speaker 10 (08:19):
That's it, well, the monster mile up there, But down
here in Briscoe County, down here near Sandy Fork, we
are suffering right now. Although believe it or not, Comcast
is better than Mediacom.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
If that tells you anything.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Hey, I know that I travel all over, like we
went to Vegas, and like everywhere we go we like
and like where Dave lives. Oh, what's the internet speeds here?
What's the internet speeds there? God, most of you in
this country, you're an Internet sucks. It's actually it's the
it's the upload. Most of you don't need the upload.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
We do.
Speaker 4 (08:51):
We do this show.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
But like I get, I get a thousand, a thousand here,
I never have any problems, but most places we go
you don't get anywhere near a thousand an upload, which
can cause some problem.
Speaker 10 (09:02):
Mine is supposed to be one point five and one.
That's what I'm paying for with business internet, okay, and
it's like at best, at best it'll be you know,
seventy five up, which is just like, come on, give
me a break, please. Terrible Nah, first world problems.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
I know, Well, it's not a first world problem if
it involves the business you do that goes all over
the world. If you're listening to this anywhere, then I
don't want you to complain about me complaining about internet speed,
because otherwise you wouldn't be listening to this.
Speaker 4 (09:34):
Got it? Now?
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Want a big offer of congratulations to the former Carmela
and Corey Graves. They will be having a second child
and she will be giving birth this fall. Their son, Dimitri,
born in November of twenty twenty three. So she's done
with WWE. Corey Graves obviously still a commentator for NXT,
(10:00):
so best of luck to them.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
Absolutely.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Mayu Ewatani is going to Marygold, the promotion founded in
twenty twenty four by rossi Ogawa formerly of Stardom, held
a press conference overnight announcing she had joined. Makes her
debut at Corkanhall May fourth, three days from now. She
makes her big debut, and she explained she had done
(10:25):
everything she could in Stardom, Goal and Marygold to become
a Grand Slam champion. She wants their world title, their
United National title, their tag team titles, and their Superfly title.
Speaker 10 (10:38):
Super Wait a second, you heard a second. The super
Fly title. Yes, a Flyway title.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
No Superfly Hmmm, that's cool, So there you go.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
Shout out to Curtis Mayfield.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
Live Morgan will be starring in Bad Lieutenant Tokyo, was
reported by Deadline and Uh Takashi Iki is the director
and uh The film will be theatrically released in North America.
(11:14):
International distribution rights go on sale at the con Film
Festival in France next month. So, uh, you know, the
thing with this is she announced that she was going
to be in a in a mad in a in
a big I think she said a holly whatever she
said on n RAW and then you know, they didn't
say what it was, and so everybody got talking, and
(11:37):
you know, the fans all started talking one thing. And
to be fair, you know, the the rumor in Hollywood was,
you know, it's a big deal for her. What that meant,
who knows, but you know, this is a real director
and uh, and this is a really big.
Speaker 4 (11:55):
Deal for her.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
But everybody appears, especially on our board, had talked to
themselves into she's going to she is going to be
in the Once Upon a Time in Hollywood sequel.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
A lot of those people want to sign with Vivid.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Which, by the way, was funny because like the Once
upon a Time? Have you ever seen Once Upon Time
in Hollywood?
Speaker 3 (12:17):
No?
Speaker 1 (12:17):
Okay, well go watch it tonight. This movie is freaking awesome. Okay,
but the sequel is not going to be a Hollywood
blockbuster because it's on Netflix. So I kind of knew
it wasn't going to be that, and I was I
was told that she was filming out of the country,
(12:38):
whatever that meant. And now we know she's gonna be
going to Tokyo and it says it begins production next month.
But I think she's leaving like this week, which is
why they did that angle on raw Monday. I mean,
I guess maybe she won't, but I think she's already
on her way, so good for her and might be
(12:58):
gone for a little while.
Speaker 10 (12:59):
So we still had that deadline article where they really
hyped up the director. And I guess this production company, Neon,
does a lot of good things, and apparently they go
to Japan a lot to do filming. I don't know
for what reason, if it's tax breaks or scenery, exactly
what it is, but apparently the director is very well
(13:19):
respected in Lily James, who was that Kevin von Eric's
wife in the Von Eric movie. I don't I'm not
a big Hollywood person. I think everybody knows that, but
you know, Lily James is in there too as being,
you know, part of this movie. So I just want
to know, is it actually somehow connected to the old
bat lieutenant that had Harvey Kaitel in it.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
That was a dark movie.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
Alrighty, we've got to wrestling, don't taku coming up? Hell,
Fantasmo defend the new Japan TV title, which he just regained,
by the way, against Takeshta, which is interesting Takesha winning
that title. Are they gonna beat Takeshta? No way, I
guess we'll see.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
I'll tell you what if they do El Fantasmo.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
I mean, it was supposed to be Takesha and Rocky
versus Fantasmo and jott on a tag match, but very
recently Fantasmo beat Great o'conn. It was just Tuesday, So
are they really gonna switch the title that quickly?
Speaker 10 (14:22):
Hey, maybe they do some sort of like that and
maybe well I either that or they go to some
sort of no contest where then we're going to see
LP on aw TV at least once.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Well, the one thing that is important is that they
are also wrestling again on May ninth for the never
open weight title that Takeshta has, So it's possible they're
just gonna.
Speaker 4 (14:44):
Split wins and both will leave with their titles.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
So we got the dog pound steel cage match. Losing
team leaves Bullet Club with the war Dogs versus House
of Torture, and then.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
Way LP is being that's crazy.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
That's absolutely he's gonna lose to him twice in a row,
two straight shows. They're wrestling two straight shows.
Speaker 10 (15:07):
I like him, but let's be honest. You signed Takeshta
to a new Japan contract. He's one of aw's biggest stars.
I guess you could you could argue that, but I
mean he's certainly in the top tier mix and he's
almost I don't want him to lose. I mean, if
I'm Tony Kahan, I don't think I want him losing
to El Fantasmo. And again, nothing against El Fantasmo, but
where they are on the pecking order, I mean, that's
(15:28):
kind of crazy to me.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
Well, the fact is he has two contracts, and whatever
each side wants from the other side, it's two contracts.
I mean. Well, anyway, we'll talk more about this after
the breakups of over Live.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
You were listening to Wrestling Observer Live with Brian Alvarez
and Mike semperviv on the Sports Byline Broadcasting Network.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
And the show Brian Elberz here Wrestling Observer Live. Mike
shember v also Wrestling Observer dot Com. So yes, the
first night as that dog pound steel cage match and
Hiroshi Tanahashi and Zach Saber Junior and Shingo and showed
Umino and and Tasmo and Takeshta, and then night two's
got the big go to Callum Newman I w GP
(16:47):
World Heavyweight title match.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
You don't sound enthused about that one.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
That's for the IWGP World Heavyweight Title. Go to versus
Callum Newman.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
Well, there was.
Speaker 10 (16:57):
Gonna be another guy, but he happened to uh not
have a contract.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
And maybe he's in a route to the United States.
I don't know. We have no idea where Jeff Cobb is.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
Then we got Yodasuji and Ui Lui Mura for the
global title and in several other da as well. So yeah, this.
Speaker 10 (17:19):
You have to be two nights. Talk about WrestleMania not
having to be two nights. This show did not have
to be two nights. And Nu Japan does not have
to fall into this trap. If they're going to do
a dude with the Tokyo Dome when you can, but otherwise,
my gosh, don't fall into this.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Habit like a funk monk here goes Goto is winning,
you think I think there's a decent chance he's gonna
be Callum Newman. I mean, I could be wrong, nothing
against the guy or anything like that, but certainly nobody
predicted on the Prediction Show that Goto would face Callum
Newman for the IWGP heavyweight title at a major Nujapan
(17:56):
event in twenty twenty five.
Speaker 4 (17:59):
That didn't happen.
Speaker 10 (18:00):
And let's not sleep on the fact that Tanahashi and
Zach Saber Junior. I guess this is going to be
the last one between these two is as far as
the singles match go, which makes me wonder how long
that match will go too, because if Tanahashi can do
a long match with anybody, you would be Zack Saber Junior.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
But it gonna be interesting to see how much they
pull out.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
So, uh, Valhalla should be back soon? Really is the
husband of Eric wife wife? I'm sorry, the wife of
Eric and uh, well, you know.
Speaker 3 (18:32):
When she was dressed up in that outfit, you couldn't tell.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
And they she she gave birth and should be back soon. Now,
there was a Chris van Vliet interview with Eric the
Viking Raiders, and somebody sent me a clip on Twitter,
and it was amazing because he told the story of
how one day they got called up to the main
(18:55):
roster and they were putting in the videos or whatever
on the screen or whatever before the show, and he
looks up and he sees Viking Experience and he had
the same reaction. It's so he's funny because like, you know,
this happens with AW, it happens with WWE. I've dealt
(19:19):
with this for decades. The company will do something dumb.
You will point out that it's dumb, the fans will
jump to the defense of the company and talk about
how it's actually not dumb, and then like later one
of the wrestlers involved will do an interview and say
(19:39):
it was really dumb. I can't even tell you how
many times this happened. So anyway, he looks up at
the screen, He's.
Speaker 4 (19:46):
Like, oh my god.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
And so he goes to Triple H's at ringside and
he goes, is this a rib or what? And Hunter's
looking at his phone. He just goes, I wish. He says,
if you want to talk to Vince, you gotta go
talk to Vince. So Eric and Ivar they go talk
(20:15):
to Vince and Vince was like, he literally it has
to be explained to him. They go listen the Viking Experience.
What is a Viking experience? It sounds like a ride Disneyland. Hey,
go on the Viking Experience. Like So, as it turns out,
(20:40):
Vince is a fan of Vikings and there was like
a Viking show that Vince really liked. He likes Vikings
and so and so literally it's explained that like he'd
been watching the show about Vikings and uh, and somebody
you'd explained to him, you know, we have a team
that they're Vikings, and he was like, what called up?
(21:03):
Because he likes Vikings, that's how that's how they get
called up.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
I guess.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
But then you know they got to get a name,
so uh, I guess. You know, he explains it like
at the time, Vikings actually were like sort of in
and so one of the things was, you know, they
were trying to trademark something involving Vikings, and like everything
was taken and and Eric goes, a Viking Experience wasn't
(21:28):
taken because nobody wanted it. And so they're explaining to
Vince how stupid this is Viking Experience whatever? And uh
and they like had a list of possible names, and
a whole bunch of them involved raiders, and so they
were like, well, how about the Viking Raiders, And so
Vince said to him, well, too late in the day
to change it, So you can be the Viking Experience tonight,
(21:54):
because we got that one trademarked, and then we'll, uh,
we'll figure out the other one later. And so out
they went, and you know, Vince actually did the old
no Press is Bad press, you know, because that famous
Hell in a Cell where the Fiend and seth Rawlins
had one of the worst matches of all time, and
Vince watched it and the fans turned violently on it,
(22:16):
and meanwhile, you know.
Speaker 4 (22:17):
He fiddled.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
I just thought it was so funny. So they were
the Viking Experience for a while there because Vince, Vince
had to be. It had to be explained to him
how stupid a Viking Experience is as a tag team name.
Speaker 4 (22:38):
There you go.
Speaker 10 (22:40):
So it ended up with Viking Express. Yet that was
the next one, right.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
I think they actually ended up the Viking Raiders, and
then later they ended up being able because you know
the time, you know, we talked about this before, like
people like to talk about how it's exactly the same
now they always do this stuff, but like they're the
war Raiders now. You know why they weren't the war
Raiders before because Vince wouldn't allow the word war.
Speaker 4 (23:07):
It was too violent for it.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
This man who wanted to do a storyline where raymistery
got his eyeball pulled out. That's another great story.
Speaker 10 (23:15):
By the way, I was gonna say, Alistair Black is
still selling that after all these years.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
Well, it's just funny because Vince wanted Vince wanted a match.
There was an eye for an eye, okay, and so
like he came up with the idea that you know,
they would do this complicated thing and a raised eyeball
would actually be pulled out and it would like, you know,
they'd have like some thing where they were like dangle.
Ye had to be dangling. But then like at the
(23:40):
last second, e he got cold feet. It was just
too much and ended up even dumber, ended up being
more stupid. Yeah, that's right. I said I'm gonna start
watching TNA every week. Really, I announced it on Twitter
mostly so I couldn't go back on it. So here's
the deal. Didn't No, I didn't you know, I've been
(24:01):
watching I haven't been watching Impact for a long time years.
Speaker 4 (24:05):
Actually they drove me off.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
But you know, unlike some people, you know, everyone tells
me it's different now, and I'm not going to argue
it's not. So what happened was I I went to
Many a weekend and we got tickets to the The
App Special on Thursday, and and I really enjoyed the show.
You know, I had a couple of criticisms, like, you know,
(24:30):
they should have ended with a hardcore match.
Speaker 4 (24:32):
It was it was very difficult to follow that.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
Plus everybody left and they weren't into the three way
for the new you know, international title or whatever. But
I enjoyed the show. And then the next week we
were gonna be doing SmackDown and Collision on the Sunday
Brynaviny Show, and and Craig said, Hey, what about why
don't we watch that TNA pay per view? And since
(24:56):
we just watched the The App Special, I was like, Oh,
I'm kind of caught up, let's watch the pay per view.
So we watched the pay per view and it wasn't
like the best pay per view I've ever seen, But
there was nothing on the show that was bad. It
wasn't stupid in any way, and I enjoyed myself, and
so I watched that and then you know the other
(25:17):
thing was I was watching I was watching NXT on Tuesday,
and you know, here comes here comes Joe Hendry and
he's feuding with Trick, and Trick was you know, he
ran in at the end of the pay per view,
and you know, they've got other NXT talent that are
(25:39):
working TNA shows. I got TNA talent working NXT shows.
The top NXT angle involves the world champion for Impact,
so I mean, at least for now, I mean, it
seems like this is kind of important.
Speaker 4 (25:52):
So I'm gonna start watching.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
The weekly TV and Fun Friday Lance off and joins
his Fun Friday, so you know we could talk about it.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
There.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
You've got someone who actually works for Impact. So I'm
excited to watch it tonight.
Speaker 3 (26:06):
It's a pretty easy show to watch.
Speaker 10 (26:08):
I mean, the biggest problem with TNA is just unfortunately,
when you are watching all of the other shows, it
is our number what thirteen or fourteen after Rossmackdown, the
two aw shows in NXT. It just I mean, compared
to Roh easier watch than RH because obviously if you're
into more sports entertainment, that's in there. And some people
(26:30):
call it WW like, you know, whatever you want to
call it doesn't really matter. It is a much better
show than the Dying Days of being on what was
it the Discovery Channel?
Speaker 1 (26:42):
Which are they on Destinations, Destinations of America.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
That's it.
Speaker 10 (26:47):
Then they lost the spot that still kills me. They
lost the spot on Destination America. Two of all things,
Ring of Honor that actually took over for them for
a very short period before that all ended as well.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
Hey, you know, the other thing I noticed is that,
like if you if you go to our board or
you you know, look at this or that. It's like
the the subscribers who are AW fans, they're very loud.
They let their voice be heard, they do. And but
comparison wise, you know, you it seems like the majority
of our fan base is AW fans. But the fact
(27:22):
of the matter is they're they're honestly just the loudest.
Because we review WWE pay per views and we get
tons of feedback, even though you know, I guess they're
kind of loud in a different way. But when we
reviewed those those TNA shows. I mean, I got a
ton of positive feedback from people I never heard from
who just quietly watched the show and don't make a
big deal out of it. And uh so I'm gonna
(27:44):
have something for those people as well. So anyway back

Speaker 2 (31:00):
You were listening to Wrestling Observer Live with Brian Alvarez
and Mike Simperbebe on the Sports Byline Broadcasting Network.
Speaker 10 (31:10):
Hey boss, Yes, do you think some of those people
that are really loud online realize that there are a
lot more people who just quietly watch what they like
and don't know and don't bother.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
To Absolutely not all day yesterday people fighting me on
video packages again. Oh come on, and I there's another
funny one. So uh So last night I was I
was doing the review of the Hangman match with Dave
and I'm talking about how it was an unusual match
because Hangman like totally dominated the entire match, and you know,
(31:45):
they gave some spots to Kyle Fletcher, but it wasn't
like it wasn't a back and forth match, and it
wasn't the match where Kyle Fletcher took eighty percent of
the match because he was losing. Hangman beat him and
beat him and beat him, and Dave jumps in. He goes,
remember he did some moves, he had a kick, Dude,
I wrote down everything that happened this match, like what
(32:07):
are we doing? And so we're kind of like arguing
this and I wake up this morning, this guy goes.
You can tell Dynamite was very good with Brian's feeble
attempts to criticize the show. They were immediately thwarted by Dave.
Holy cow, that was a lot of reaching.
Speaker 10 (32:22):
No, Brian, they did an arm bar in the Ocado
Omega match. Everything's fine.
Speaker 4 (32:26):
Well there's a bigger issue.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
I know, Okay, tell them, so listen. I'm not going
to go back and count who had more moves because
I don't care. But for those of you that do
care and are very angry at my criticism of how
that match was put together, could you please just do
me the one favor of instead of rewatching the match,
(32:49):
re listen to the review because I literally said, I
like the way they did it. I like that they
did it that way. I think what they did with
Hangman taking the vast majority of the match, I think
that that was better than what they normally do. But
(33:09):
people heard I don't even know why they thought that
was a criticism that Hangman took like ninety percent of
the match. But they heard that and then maybe I
guess they heard Dave start to argue it, and so
then they decided that I must have said something negative
and Dave was there to defend it. Guys, I like
what they did with that match, because Hangman is now
(33:30):
going to the pay per view to fight in the
finals of the owen Hart Cup. I'm thankful that they
did a match where when it was over it wasn't
fifty to fifty, there was no doubt who the winner was,
who the better man was, and he's now going to
the finals of the pay per view. I didn't criticize
it at all. I said what they did was good,
(33:51):
and I liked it better. But it is a thing
now where if it even seems like I am saying
something negative about AW, there must be a defense AW,
even if the defense doesn't make any sense. And I
don't even know what you're defending right now.
Speaker 10 (34:07):
AW fans don't realize how many other wrestling fans who
are half saying that have been run off by them
who just went okay, we don't When do you want
to deal with this. I had somebody somebody sent this
to me who was in the twitch chats. Somebody actually
sent when I talked for two days one show with Tom,
one show with you about Mariah May and Tony Storm
(34:28):
how much I liked the match, and I had one
off comment I think when you were on of like,
I don't know how great of a wrestling match it was,
but it was a great spectacle and that was all
they took. They took that one line item. Listeners, all
of you who took that one line and then complained
about that, I don't know what to tell you. Listen,
(34:48):
you just want to say that I didn't angry all
the time.
Speaker 1 (34:51):
I don't want to yell at the fans of aw
you because most of them are awesome.
Speaker 3 (34:55):
You're exactly. But for those of you that have a.
Speaker 1 (34:57):
Problem, get a life and listen. Sickest criminal love. Hey,
am I allowed to criticize how lazy Okada is?
Speaker 6 (35:04):
Is?
Speaker 1 (35:04):
That allowed? Because this guy is so lazy. I was
dying last night. So they had a great opener. It
was a It was an eight man party match straight
out of PWG. Kenny Omega, Mark Briscoe, Speedball, Mike Bailey,
Kevin Knight versus the Bucks, Ricochet, Okada, and my god,
this Okada. He's winning the match. By the way he's
(35:25):
gonna win the match. He does his elbow off the top,
and you can always tell if he thinks the match
is important or not, because if he jumps, it's an
important match. If he falls, it's a less important match.
I swear to God this one. He not only just
fell off the top, he landed on his feet and
then dropped the elbow like, oh my god. Now everybody
(35:48):
else worked like very hard, went through two commercial breaks.
I mean this, I'm surprised. I didn't, you know, wake
up today and see all these clips on Twitter about
how horrible the match was. Fans loved it. It may
have gone on a little too long because they they
they did hit a peek and they were less crazy
for it by the end, but ultimately Ocada did get
(36:09):
a win. He pinned your main man, Mark Briscoe. Ah
yeah and uh And it was a very very fun opener.
And I will say I will say this though, I
gotta be fair as lazy as this man was. They
had fifteen seconds near the end where he tagged in
with Kenny Omega, and for fifteen seconds, we did get
(36:32):
the old Okada, but it was fifteen seconds and then
he went right back to the new Okada. I was so,
I think they will have an incredible match. I think
he's gonna, he's gonna, he's gonna he's gonna turn it
up for that match, but not until then and not afterwards.
Speaker 3 (36:46):
Well, he has saved up all of his energy. I
mean he should be able to do it.
Speaker 10 (36:50):
He saw in spurts when they started throwing you know,
four arms and the drop kick and all that stuff,
But you're exactly right. Then he went back to it.
Then it was cartoon Okada again with the kickout two,
and then.
Speaker 3 (37:00):
It's the big ah.
Speaker 10 (37:01):
I can't believe you kicked out face like that was
the most effort he put in outside those spots with Omega,
and they still they did do a good job with
Meo Yamashta in that package.
Speaker 3 (37:12):
But you better drive home.
Speaker 10 (37:13):
You've been hyping up Omega and Ocatta since January.
Speaker 4 (37:16):
That package.
Speaker 10 (37:17):
They've been teasing it, but you have not driven home
the fact of why this guy, why Okado was a legend,
and what they did in Japan, and why you want
to care about this in Texas.
Speaker 1 (37:29):
You know, I couldn't help, but know that they did
have a video package for the for that Yamashta match,
and I didn't hear one person complain about it. I
heard people talk about what a great package it was. Meanwhile,
they're telling me we don't need packages. Brian, it's fine,
people will figure it out. Don't hold our hand.
Speaker 3 (37:47):
Minute by minute says they don't the package.
Speaker 1 (37:49):
Don't even get me started. I'm not doing it today.
Way of the Ops versus Nick Camarado, Red Titus and
Miles Hawkins. The ops obviously one, and then the death
writers jumped them and they killed Shabada with the gut
first drop.
Speaker 4 (38:01):
On the chair.
Speaker 1 (38:02):
And then Joe cut a promo and the Beach Break
match is a steel cage match him and Moxley for
the AW title.
Speaker 4 (38:10):
And I'm sorry, Dave.
Speaker 1 (38:12):
There will be run ins because we got to set
up something for the pay per view, which is a
multi person match, and so I think madness will occur
during this cage match, but it'll be fun.
Speaker 10 (38:23):
Do you think maybe it's time to not do a
anarchy in the arena or a but basically do what
New Japan's doing, having the war game style or some
sort of thing where instead of everybody running around everywhere,
it's actually encased in two rings or one ring with
a gimmick cage.
Speaker 4 (38:42):
I mean you can do that.
Speaker 1 (38:44):
I mean, honestly, I hate to say, because people are
gonna get mad, but the easiest way to do this
is you have a cage with no top, and everybody
climbs in and it's a wild brawl. And then the
pay per view match they announced, well, this will be
in a cage with a roof nobody and nobody out,
and that's your wild wargame style match. We had the
(39:08):
Tony Storm match. I love how I don't think it started,
but they had a spot in this match was preposterous,
which of course nobody they'll get mad at.
Speaker 4 (39:18):
Me for pointing it out.
Speaker 1 (39:21):
Tony Storm does a running hip attack, you know, on
the apron, and she misses, and we're supposed to believe
that her butt was stuck between.
Speaker 4 (39:35):
The middle and bottom rope.
Speaker 1 (39:39):
Oh no, this is absolutely ridiculous. I know you love
Tony Storm. I know you love her gimmick and everything
like that. I know you love the spot they did,
but this is preposterous. She didn't get stuck between the
bottom and middle rope.
Speaker 3 (39:53):
But they did that. Are you saying that spot was cheeks?
Speaker 1 (39:56):
It was ridiculous, preposterous, But she won with the storm
zero and then Mercedes came out and they had this Mercedes,
can we all at least admit I was right that
she's far better as a heal than a baby face.
She comes out on the ramp and she's got her Uh.
She does the spot all the time. It's never not amazing.
(40:17):
She comes out in her heels and then out comes Jamie.
She wants to beat up Mercedes, and so Mercedes has
to run for her life carrying four belts in her
eye heels. Ah, she run, I was dying.
Speaker 3 (40:30):
It's fantastic.
Speaker 1 (40:31):
It was incredible. That was way better than the butt
getting stuck between the middle and bottom rope spot. Then
we had the real best thing on the show. I
will hear no arguments will this is a bannable offense.
Don Challous does a promo and he says that Kyle
will win the aw title at all in that Don
(40:52):
Callous family will be at the top of AW And
then Don said people will say his full name, and
Don Kellis proceeds to say the name Kyle Fletcher with
more enthusiasm than I think I've ever said anything on
this show, and that goes back a long time. He's incredible,
(41:15):
hurt business promo the usual. Bobby Lashley gives him a
thumbs down again. Now MGF has had enough h and
he makes a bald joke Ashley, maybe some roguain. I
can't say the second thing he.
Speaker 3 (41:31):
Said big bald, and then.
Speaker 4 (41:34):
That was a big mistake.
Speaker 1 (41:35):
Brother Bobby bowls him into the corner. He scares the
life out of him, and he says, we hurt people.
If you want to impress me, you need to hurt somebody.
I think I finally figured out where this is going,
but I'm not going to reveal it yet. Had a
(41:57):
recap of FTR turning Heel reuniting with Stokely. I didn't
hear a complaint about this video package either. It was
very good. Nick Wayne beat Jay Lethal and then Christian like,
I don't know what's going on. Well, I mean I
know what's going on, but they're they're going about it
in an interesting way. Christian tells him turn around, he
(42:17):
wraps the belt around his waist, he collapse, and then.
Speaker 4 (42:21):
He's like.
Speaker 1 (42:23):
Rolls his eyes and chuckles and leaves. Nick is now
on his way to Best of the super Juniors.
Speaker 10 (42:29):
I know nobody else wants this, but give me one
Christian Jay lethal match, please. I don't care when it is,
just give it to me at some point.
Speaker 1 (42:36):
Don't think you're getting it, brother, I know so good though,
both of them. Hang Man and Kyle Fletcher on our
tournament match, Hangman beat the stuffing out of the sky
for minutes on and through two commercial breaks. I didn't
(42:56):
count the moves, but I was not the only one
because a bunch of people in the chat agree here.
He beat this guy so bad that after the second
commercial break, I was certain that that Fletcher was winning
the match and going on to double or nothing. And
he kept beating him, and Kyle would hit him move
(43:19):
and it immediately get countered and killed again. He's bleeding
all over because of a bump into the dasherboards. He's dead,
and so finally like Hangman's beat him so vociferously that
he goes for a buck shot. He gets one low blow,
one brain buster. Everybody believes Hangman's lost. Hang Man kicks out.
(43:42):
They went nuts. Kyle hits the running boot tries the
corner brainbuster, but he gets knocked off buck shot off
the top, buck shot out of the off the apron
pins him and excellent main event. Hangman looked like, I mean,
when this match was, it's Hangman and will Ospray at
(44:03):
double or nothing. One of these men, I bet you
dollars of donuts. One of these men is beating John
Moxley for that title at all in. And when this
match ended, I was like, I don't know which one
would be a better choice, because will Ospray is like,
he's so over, he's so great, But man, this Hangman,
(44:28):
he's so over and he's so great, and he's also
an aw original, which when this whole story's first started
with Moxley, it was clear that.
Speaker 4 (44:37):
Was what the ending was supposed to be.
Speaker 1 (44:39):
It's very much shifted now that Darby's climbing the mountain
and everything like that. But we'll see, we will see,
and there's already look fifty to fifty in the chat
of who should win.
Speaker 4 (44:49):
Back in the moment, obs Ever Live.
Speaker 2 (45:16):
You were listening to Wrestling Observer Live with Brian Alvarez
and Mike simper Vivi on the Sports Byline broadcasting network.
Speaker 1 (45:25):

I used to mute them, but h but then I realize,

I don't want to see your tweet and I'm I'm
I'm trying to help you understand that, Like, there's better

like to do. You know, find somebody and you know,
go somewhere, see something, do something, open, expand your horizons.

be living. But instead you jump on YouTube, you jump

Speaker 2 (06:04):
You were listening to Wrestling Observer Live with Brian Alvarez
and Mike simperviv on the Sports Byline Broadcasting Network.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Already back here in the show, Bryan Elverez here Wrestling
Observer Live. Mike made it.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
I'm here.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
What happened?
Speaker 3 (06:18):
Now Comcast?
Speaker 1 (06:21):
I know, but what happened? Obviously there's a problem with Comcast.
Speaker 10 (06:24):
I got home and it's like, nothing is working. Why
is nothing working? The bill is paid, everything should be working.
So I call up hold On, let me put you
on hold. Fifteen minutes later, at three to oh two,
they got back to me and went, everything should be
starting up. Now, here's your ticket number. Okay, great, Why
did this happen? Is anybody coming out nothing?
Speaker 4 (06:46):
Hold on?
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Hey, dumb? Is Comcast day an advertiser?
Speaker 3 (06:50):
No, they're not.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Okay, you know they suck.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
They do. They can kiss my whole rear end.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
Well, you know, I just have a question for everybody, like,
is anybody listening right now? Does anybody who's listening right
now have Comcast and they've never had a problem? Anybody?
Well wait, because you know, believe it or not, believe
it or not. And some people would say that this
was a problem, but it really wasn't because it was
my own fault. You know, when I found out that
(07:15):
I'd been paying one hundred and fifty dollars a month
for a landline for the last six years, and I
ended up, you know, getting that axed off my bill.
I mean it was my fault. I mean I had
the landline. I was using it for the show, and
then one day I found a way to take calls
without a landline, and like I set everything up and
(07:36):
everything like that, and you know, just didn't even think about, Hey,
maybe I should cancel the landline. But the point is,
that's not their fault. That was my fault. I don't
think I have ever had a single problem ever I
got Ziply Fiber. I don't think I've ever had a
single problem with them. It's it's it's crazy.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
I'm so jealous.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
I had Comcasts sucked, I had Frontier sucked, I had
Verizon sucked. I mean they all sucked. But I've never
had a problem with Ziply ever.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
It's crazy they didn't they stopped running fiber. Verizon did.
Speaker 10 (08:13):
Like is somewhere in like Dover, which is way far
away from.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
The home of the Dover Demon.
Speaker 10 (08:19):
That's it, well, the monster mile up there, But down
here in Briscoe County, down here near Sandy Fork, we
are suffering right now. Although believe it or not, Comcast
is better than Mediacom.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
If that tells you anything.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Hey, I know that I travel all over, like we
went to Vegas, and like everywhere we go we like
and like where Dave lives. Oh, what's the internet speeds here?
What's the internet speeds there? God, most of you in
this country, you're an Internet sucks. It's actually it's the
it's the upload. Most of you don't need the upload.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
We do.
Speaker 4 (08:51):
We do this show.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
But like I get, I get a thousand, a thousand here,
I never have any problems, but most places we go
you don't get anywhere near a thousand an upload, which
can cause some problem.
Speaker 10 (09:02):
Mine is supposed to be one point five and one.
That's what I'm paying for with business internet, okay, and
it's like at best, at best it'll be you know,
seventy five up, which is just like, come on, give
me a break, please. Terrible Nah, first world problems.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
I know, Well, it's not a first world problem if
it involves the business you do that goes all over
the world. If you're listening to this anywhere, then I
don't want you to complain about me complaining about internet speed,
because otherwise you wouldn't be listening to this.
Speaker 4 (09:34):
Got it? Now?
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Want a big offer of congratulations to the former Carmela
and Corey Graves. They will be having a second child
and she will be giving birth this fall. Their son, Dimitri,
born in November of twenty twenty three. So she's done
with WWE. Corey Graves obviously still a commentator for NXT,
(10:00):
so best of luck to them.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
Absolutely.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Mayu Ewatani is going to Marygold, the promotion founded in
twenty twenty four by rossi Ogawa formerly of Stardom, held
a press conference overnight announcing she had joined. Makes her
debut at Corkanhall May fourth, three days from now. She
makes her big debut, and she explained she had done
(10:25):
everything she could in Stardom, Goal and Marygold to become
a Grand Slam champion. She wants their world title, their
United National title, their tag team titles, and their Superfly title.
Speaker 10 (10:38):
Super Wait a second, you heard a second. The super
Fly title. Yes, a Flyway title.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
No Superfly Hmmm, that's cool, So there you go.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
Shout out to Curtis Mayfield.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
Live Morgan will be starring in Bad Lieutenant Tokyo, was
reported by Deadline and Uh Takashi Iki is the director
and uh The film will be theatrically released in North America.
(11:14):
International distribution rights go on sale at the con Film
Festival in France next month. So, uh, you know, the
thing with this is she announced that she was going
to be in a in a mad in a in
a big I think she said a holly whatever she
said on n RAW and then you know, they didn't
say what it was, and so everybody got talking, and
(11:37):
you know, the fans all started talking one thing. And
to be fair, you know, the the rumor in Hollywood was,
you know, it's a big deal for her. What that meant,
who knows, but you know, this is a real director
and uh, and this is a really big.
Speaker 4 (11:55):
Deal for her.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
But everybody appears, especially on our board, had talked to
themselves into she's going to she is going to be
in the Once Upon a Time in Hollywood sequel.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
A lot of those people want to sign with Vivid.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Which, by the way, was funny because like the Once
upon a Time? Have you ever seen Once Upon Time
in Hollywood?
Speaker 3 (12:17):
No?
Speaker 1 (12:17):
Okay, well go watch it tonight. This movie is freaking awesome. Okay,
but the sequel is not going to be a Hollywood
blockbuster because it's on Netflix. So I kind of knew
it wasn't going to be that, and I was I
was told that she was filming out of the country,
(12:38):
whatever that meant. And now we know she's gonna be
going to Tokyo and it says it begins production next month.
But I think she's leaving like this week, which is
why they did that angle on raw Monday. I mean,
I guess maybe she won't, but I think she's already
on her way, so good for her and might be
(12:58):
gone for a little while.
Speaker 10 (12:59):
So we still had that deadline article where they really
hyped up the director. And I guess this production company, Neon,
does a lot of good things, and apparently they go
to Japan a lot to do filming. I don't know
for what reason, if it's tax breaks or scenery, exactly
what it is, but apparently the director is very well
(13:19):
respected in Lily James, who was that Kevin von Eric's
wife in the Von Eric movie. I don't I'm not
a big Hollywood person. I think everybody knows that, but
you know, Lily James is in there too as being,
you know, part of this movie. So I just want
to know, is it actually somehow connected to the old
bat lieutenant that had Harvey Kaitel in it.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
That was a dark movie.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
Alrighty, we've got to wrestling, don't taku coming up? Hell,
Fantasmo defend the new Japan TV title, which he just regained,
by the way, against Takeshta, which is interesting Takesha winning
that title. Are they gonna beat Takeshta? No way, I
guess we'll see.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
I'll tell you what if they do El Fantasmo.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
I mean, it was supposed to be Takesha and Rocky
versus Fantasmo and jott on a tag match, but very
recently Fantasmo beat Great o'conn. It was just Tuesday, So
are they really gonna switch the title that quickly?
Speaker 10 (14:22):
Hey, maybe they do some sort of like that and
maybe well I either that or they go to some
sort of no contest where then we're going to see
LP on aw TV at least once.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Well, the one thing that is important is that they
are also wrestling again on May ninth for the never
open weight title that Takeshta has, So it's possible they're
just gonna.
Speaker 4 (14:44):
Split wins and both will leave with their titles.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
So we got the dog pound steel cage match. Losing
team leaves Bullet Club with the war Dogs versus House
of Torture, and then.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
Way LP is being that's crazy.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
That's absolutely he's gonna lose to him twice in a row,
two straight shows. They're wrestling two straight shows.
Speaker 10 (15:07):
I like him, but let's be honest. You signed Takeshta
to a new Japan contract. He's one of aw's biggest stars.
I guess you could you could argue that, but I
mean he's certainly in the top tier mix and he's
almost I don't want him to lose. I mean, if
I'm Tony Kahan, I don't think I want him losing
to El Fantasmo. And again, nothing against El Fantasmo, but
where they are on the pecking order, I mean, that's
(15:28):
kind of crazy to me.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
Well, the fact is he has two contracts, and whatever
each side wants from the other side, it's two contracts.
I mean. Well, anyway, we'll talk more about this after
the breakups of over Live.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
You were listening to Wrestling Observer Live with Brian Alvarez
and Mike semperviv on the Sports Byline Broadcasting Network.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
And the show Brian Elberz here Wrestling Observer Live. Mike
shember v also Wrestling Observer dot Com. So yes, the
first night as that dog pound steel cage match and
Hiroshi Tanahashi and Zach Saber Junior and Shingo and showed
Umino and and Tasmo and Takeshta, and then night two's
got the big go to Callum Newman I w GP
(16:47):
World Heavyweight title match.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
You don't sound enthused about that one.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
That's for the IWGP World Heavyweight Title. Go to versus
Callum Newman.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
Well, there was.
Speaker 10 (16:57):
Gonna be another guy, but he happened to uh not
have a contract.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
And maybe he's in a route to the United States.
I don't know. We have no idea where Jeff Cobb is.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
Then we got Yodasuji and Ui Lui Mura for the
global title and in several other da as well. So yeah, this.
Speaker 10 (17:19):
You have to be two nights. Talk about WrestleMania not
having to be two nights. This show did not have
to be two nights. And Nu Japan does not have
to fall into this trap. If they're going to do
a dude with the Tokyo Dome when you can, but otherwise,
my gosh, don't fall into this.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Habit like a funk monk here goes Goto is winning,
you think I think there's a decent chance he's gonna
be Callum Newman. I mean, I could be wrong, nothing
against the guy or anything like that, but certainly nobody
predicted on the Prediction Show that Goto would face Callum
Newman for the IWGP heavyweight title at a major Nujapan
(17:56):
event in twenty twenty five.
Speaker 4 (17:59):
That didn't happen.
Speaker 10 (18:00):
And let's not sleep on the fact that Tanahashi and
Zach Saber Junior. I guess this is going to be
the last one between these two is as far as
the singles match go, which makes me wonder how long
that match will go too, because if Tanahashi can do
a long match with anybody, you would be Zack Saber Junior.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
But it gonna be interesting to see how much they
pull out.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
So, uh, Valhalla should be back soon? Really is the
husband of Eric wife wife? I'm sorry, the wife of
Eric and uh, well, you know.
Speaker 3 (18:32):
When she was dressed up in that outfit, you couldn't tell.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
And they she she gave birth and should be back soon. Now,
there was a Chris van Vliet interview with Eric the
Viking Raiders, and somebody sent me a clip on Twitter,
and it was amazing because he told the story of
how one day they got called up to the main
(18:55):
roster and they were putting in the videos or whatever
on the screen or whatever before the show, and he
looks up and he sees Viking Experience and he had
the same reaction. It's so he's funny because like, you know,
this happens with AW, it happens with WWE. I've dealt
(19:19):
with this for decades. The company will do something dumb.
You will point out that it's dumb, the fans will
jump to the defense of the company and talk about
how it's actually not dumb, and then like later one
of the wrestlers involved will do an interview and say
(19:39):
it was really dumb. I can't even tell you how
many times this happened. So anyway, he looks up at
the screen, He's.
Speaker 4 (19:46):
Like, oh my god.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
And so he goes to Triple H's at ringside and
he goes, is this a rib or what? And Hunter's
looking at his phone. He just goes, I wish. He says,
if you want to talk to Vince, you gotta go
talk to Vince. So Eric and Ivar they go talk
(20:15):
to Vince and Vince was like, he literally it has
to be explained to him. They go listen the Viking Experience.
What is a Viking experience? It sounds like a ride Disneyland. Hey,
go on the Viking Experience. Like So, as it turns out,
(20:40):
Vince is a fan of Vikings and there was like
a Viking show that Vince really liked. He likes Vikings
and so and so literally it's explained that like he'd
been watching the show about Vikings and uh, and somebody
you'd explained to him, you know, we have a team
that they're Vikings, and he was like, what called up?
(21:03):
Because he likes Vikings, that's how that's how they get
called up.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
I guess.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
But then you know they got to get a name,
so uh, I guess. You know, he explains it like
at the time, Vikings actually were like sort of in
and so one of the things was, you know, they
were trying to trademark something involving Vikings, and like everything
was taken and and Eric goes, a Viking Experience wasn't
(21:28):
taken because nobody wanted it. And so they're explaining to
Vince how stupid this is Viking Experience whatever? And uh
and they like had a list of possible names, and
a whole bunch of them involved raiders, and so they
were like, well, how about the Viking Raiders, And so
Vince said to him, well, too late in the day
to change it, So you can be the Viking Experience tonight,
(21:54):
because we got that one trademarked, and then we'll, uh,
we'll figure out the other one later. And so out
they went, and you know, Vince actually did the old
no Press is Bad press, you know, because that famous
Hell in a Cell where the Fiend and seth Rawlins
had one of the worst matches of all time, and
Vince watched it and the fans turned violently on it,
(22:16):
and meanwhile, you know.
Speaker 4 (22:17):
He fiddled.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
I just thought it was so funny. So they were
the Viking Experience for a while there because Vince, Vince
had to be. It had to be explained to him
how stupid a Viking Experience is as a tag team name.
Speaker 4 (22:38):
There you go.
Speaker 10 (22:40):
So it ended up with Viking Express. Yet that was
the next one, right.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
I think they actually ended up the Viking Raiders, and
then later they ended up being able because you know
the time, you know, we talked about this before, like
people like to talk about how it's exactly the same
now they always do this stuff, but like they're the
war Raiders now. You know why they weren't the war
Raiders before because Vince wouldn't allow the word war.
Speaker 4 (23:07):
It was too violent for it.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
This man who wanted to do a storyline where raymistery
got his eyeball pulled out. That's another great story.
Speaker 10 (23:15):
By the way, I was gonna say, Alistair Black is
still selling that after all these years.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
Well, it's just funny because Vince wanted Vince wanted a match.
There was an eye for an eye, okay, and so
like he came up with the idea that you know,
they would do this complicated thing and a raised eyeball
would actually be pulled out and it would like, you know,
they'd have like some thing where they were like dangle.
Ye had to be dangling. But then like at the
(23:40):
last second, e he got cold feet. It was just
too much and ended up even dumber, ended up being
more stupid. Yeah, that's right. I said I'm gonna start
watching TNA every week. Really, I announced it on Twitter
mostly so I couldn't go back on it. So here's
the deal. Didn't No, I didn't you know, I've been
(24:01):
watching I haven't been watching Impact for a long time years.
Speaker 4 (24:05):
Actually they drove me off.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
But you know, unlike some people, you know, everyone tells
me it's different now, and I'm not going to argue
it's not. So what happened was I I went to
Many a weekend and we got tickets to the The
App Special on Thursday, and and I really enjoyed the show.
You know, I had a couple of criticisms, like, you know,
(24:30):
they should have ended with a hardcore match.
Speaker 4 (24:32):
It was it was very difficult to follow that.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
Plus everybody left and they weren't into the three way
for the new you know, international title or whatever. But
I enjoyed the show. And then the next week we
were gonna be doing SmackDown and Collision on the Sunday
Brynaviny Show, and and Craig said, Hey, what about why
don't we watch that TNA pay per view? And since
(24:56):
we just watched the The App Special, I was like, Oh,
I'm kind of caught up, let's watch the pay per view.
So we watched the pay per view and it wasn't
like the best pay per view I've ever seen, But
there was nothing on the show that was bad. It
wasn't stupid in any way, and I enjoyed myself, and
so I watched that and then you know the other
(25:17):
thing was I was watching I was watching NXT on Tuesday,
and you know, here comes here comes Joe Hendry and
he's feuding with Trick, and Trick was you know, he
ran in at the end of the pay per view,
and you know, they've got other NXT talent that are
(25:39):
working TNA shows. I got TNA talent working NXT shows.
The top NXT angle involves the world champion for Impact,
so I mean, at least for now, I mean, it
seems like this is kind of important.
Speaker 4 (25:52):
So I'm gonna start watching.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
The weekly TV and Fun Friday Lance off and joins
his Fun Friday, so you know we could talk about it.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
There.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
You've got someone who actually works for Impact. So I'm
excited to watch it tonight.
Speaker 3 (26:06):
It's a pretty easy show to watch.
Speaker 10 (26:08):
I mean, the biggest problem with TNA is just unfortunately,
when you are watching all of the other shows, it
is our number what thirteen or fourteen after Rossmackdown, the
two aw shows in NXT. It just I mean, compared
to Roh easier watch than RH because obviously if you're
into more sports entertainment, that's in there. And some people
(26:30):
call it WW like, you know, whatever you want to
call it doesn't really matter. It is a much better
show than the Dying Days of being on what was
it the Discovery Channel?
Speaker 1 (26:42):
Which are they on Destinations, Destinations of America.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
That's it.
Speaker 10 (26:47):
Then they lost the spot that still kills me. They
lost the spot on Destination America. Two of all things,
Ring of Honor that actually took over for them for
a very short period before that all ended as well.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
Hey, you know, the other thing I noticed is that,
like if you if you go to our board or
you you know, look at this or that. It's like
the the subscribers who are AW fans, they're very loud.
They let their voice be heard, they do. And but
comparison wise, you know, you it seems like the majority
of our fan base is AW fans. But the fact
(27:22):
of the matter is they're they're honestly just the loudest.
Because we review WWE pay per views and we get
tons of feedback, even though you know, I guess they're
kind of loud in a different way. But when we
reviewed those those TNA shows. I mean, I got a
ton of positive feedback from people I never heard from
who just quietly watched the show and don't make a
big deal out of it. And uh so I'm gonna
(27:44):
have something for those people as well. So anyway back
in the mouth with a dynamite report Observer Live.

and Mike Simperbebe on the Sports Byline Broadcasting Network.
Speaker 10 (31:10):
Hey boss, Yes, do you think some of those people
that are really loud online realize that there are a
lot more people who just quietly watch what they like
and don't know and don't bother.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
To Absolutely not all day yesterday people fighting me on
video packages again. Oh come on, and I there's another
funny one. So uh So last night I was I
was doing the review of the Hangman match with Dave
and I'm talking about how it was an unusual match
because Hangman like totally dominated the entire match, and you know,
(31:45):
they gave some spots to Kyle Fletcher, but it wasn't
like it wasn't a back and forth match, and it
wasn't the match where Kyle Fletcher took eighty percent of
the match because he was losing. Hangman beat him and
beat him and beat him, and Dave jumps in. He goes,
remember he did some moves, he had a kick, Dude,
I wrote down everything that happened this match, like what
(32:07):
are we doing? And so we're kind of like arguing
this and I wake up this morning, this guy goes.
You can tell Dynamite was very good with Brian's feeble
attempts to criticize the show. They were immediately thwarted by Dave.
Holy cow, that was a lot of reaching.
Speaker 10 (32:22):
No, Brian, they did an arm bar in the Ocado
Omega match. Everything's fine.
Speaker 4 (32:26):
Well there's a bigger issue.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
I know, Okay, tell them, so listen. I'm not going
to go back and count who had more moves because
I don't care. But for those of you that do
care and are very angry at my criticism of how
that match was put together, could you please just do
me the one favor of instead of rewatching the match,
(32:49):
re listen to the review because I literally said, I
like the way they did it. I like that they
did it that way. I think what they did with
Hangman taking the vast majority of the match, I think
that that was better than what they normally do. But
(33:09):
people heard I don't even know why they thought that
was a criticism that Hangman took like ninety percent of
the match. But they heard that and then maybe I
guess they heard Dave start to argue it, and so
then they decided that I must have said something negative
and Dave was there to defend it. Guys, I like
what they did with that match, because Hangman is now
(33:30):
going to the pay per view to fight in the
finals of the owen Hart Cup. I'm thankful that they
did a match where when it was over it wasn't
fifty to fifty, there was no doubt who the winner was,
who the better man was, and he's now going to
the finals of the pay per view. I didn't criticize
it at all. I said what they did was good,
(33:51):
and I liked it better. But it is a thing
now where if it even seems like I am saying
something negative about AW, there must be a defense AW,
even if the defense doesn't make any sense. And I
don't even know what you're defending right now.
Speaker 10 (34:07):
AW fans don't realize how many other wrestling fans who
are half saying that have been run off by them
who just went okay, we don't When do you want
to deal with this. I had somebody somebody sent this
to me who was in the twitch chats. Somebody actually
sent when I talked for two days one show with Tom,
one show with you about Mariah May and Tony Storm
(34:28):
how much I liked the match, and I had one
off comment I think when you were on of like,
I don't know how great of a wrestling match it was,
but it was a great spectacle and that was all
they took. They took that one line item. Listeners, all
of you who took that one line and then complained
about that, I don't know what to tell you. Listen,
(34:48):
you just want to say that I didn't angry all
the time.
Speaker 1 (34:51):
I don't want to yell at the fans of aw
you because most of them are awesome.
Speaker 3 (34:55):
You're exactly. But for those of you that have a.
Speaker 1 (34:57):
Problem, get a life and listen. Sickest criminal love. Hey,
am I allowed to criticize how lazy Okada is?
Speaker 6 (35:04):
Is?
Speaker 1 (35:04):
That allowed? Because this guy is so lazy. I was
dying last night. So they had a great opener. It
was a It was an eight man party match straight
out of PWG. Kenny Omega, Mark Briscoe, Speedball, Mike Bailey,
Kevin Knight versus the Bucks, Ricochet, Okada, and my god,
this Okada. He's winning the match. By the way he's
(35:25):
gonna win the match. He does his elbow off the top,
and you can always tell if he thinks the match
is important or not, because if he jumps, it's an
important match. If he falls, it's a less important match.
I swear to God this one. He not only just
fell off the top, he landed on his feet and
then dropped the elbow like, oh my god. Now everybody
(35:48):
else worked like very hard, went through two commercial breaks.
I mean this, I'm surprised. I didn't, you know, wake
up today and see all these clips on Twitter about
how horrible the match was. Fans loved it. It may
have gone on a little too long because they they
they did hit a peek and they were less crazy
for it by the end, but ultimately Ocada did get
(36:09):
a win. He pinned your main man, Mark Briscoe. Ah
yeah and uh And it was a very very fun opener.
And I will say I will say this though, I
gotta be fair as lazy as this man was. They
had fifteen seconds near the end where he tagged in
with Kenny Omega, and for fifteen seconds, we did get
(36:32):
the old Okada, but it was fifteen seconds and then
he went right back to the new Okada. I was so,
I think they will have an incredible match. I think
he's gonna, he's gonna, he's gonna he's gonna turn it
up for that match, but not until then and not afterwards.
Speaker 3 (36:46):
Well, he has saved up all of his energy. I
mean he should be able to do it.
Speaker 10 (36:50):
He saw in spurts when they started throwing you know,
four arms and the drop kick and all that stuff,
But you're exactly right. Then he went back to it.
Then it was cartoon Okada again with the kickout two,
and then.
Speaker 3 (37:00):
It's the big ah.
Speaker 10 (37:01):
I can't believe you kicked out face like that was
the most effort he put in outside those spots with Omega,
and they still they did do a good job with
Meo Yamashta in that package.
Speaker 3 (37:12):
But you better drive home.
Speaker 10 (37:13):
You've been hyping up Omega and Ocatta since January.
Speaker 4 (37:16):
That package.
Speaker 10 (37:17):
They've been teasing it, but you have not driven home
the fact of why this guy, why Okado was a legend,
and what they did in Japan, and why you want
to care about this in Texas.
Speaker 1 (37:29):
You know, I couldn't help, but know that they did
have a video package for the for that Yamashta match,
and I didn't hear one person complain about it. I
heard people talk about what a great package it was. Meanwhile,
they're telling me we don't need packages. Brian, it's fine,
people will figure it out. Don't hold our hand.
Speaker 3 (37:47):
Minute by minute says they don't the package.
Speaker 1 (37:49):
Don't even get me started. I'm not doing it today.
Way of the Ops versus Nick Camarado, Red Titus and
Miles Hawkins. The ops obviously one, and then the death
writers jumped them and they killed Shabada with the gut
first drop.
Speaker 4 (38:01):
On the chair.
Speaker 1 (38:02):
And then Joe cut a promo and the Beach Break
match is a steel cage match him and Moxley for
the AW title.
Speaker 4 (38:10):
And I'm sorry, Dave.
Speaker 1 (38:12):
There will be run ins because we got to set
up something for the pay per view, which is a
multi person match, and so I think madness will occur
during this cage match, but it'll be fun.
Speaker 10 (38:23):
Do you think maybe it's time to not do a
anarchy in the arena or a but basically do what
New Japan's doing, having the war game style or some
sort of thing where instead of everybody running around everywhere,
it's actually encased in two rings or one ring with
a gimmick cage.
Speaker 4 (38:42):
I mean you can do that.
Speaker 1 (38:44):
I mean, honestly, I hate to say, because people are
gonna get mad, but the easiest way to do this
is you have a cage with no top, and everybody
climbs in and it's a wild brawl. And then the
pay per view match they announced, well, this will be
in a cage with a roof nobody and nobody out,
and that's your wild wargame style match. We had the
(39:08):
Tony Storm match. I love how I don't think it started,
but they had a spot in this match was preposterous,
which of course nobody they'll get mad at.
Speaker 4 (39:18):
Me for pointing it out.
Speaker 1 (39:21):
Tony Storm does a running hip attack, you know, on
the apron, and she misses, and we're supposed to believe
that her butt was stuck between.
Speaker 4 (39:35):
The middle and bottom rope.
Speaker 1 (39:39):
Oh no, this is absolutely ridiculous. I know you love
Tony Storm. I know you love her gimmick and everything
like that. I know you love the spot they did,
but this is preposterous. She didn't get stuck between the
bottom and middle rope.
Speaker 3 (39:53):
But they did that. Are you saying that spot was cheeks?
Speaker 1 (39:56):
It was ridiculous, preposterous, But she won with the storm
zero and then Mercedes came out and they had this Mercedes,
can we all at least admit I was right that
she's far better as a heal than a baby face.
She comes out on the ramp and she's got her Uh.
She does the spot all the time. It's never not amazing.
(40:17):
She comes out in her heels and then out comes Jamie.
She wants to beat up Mercedes, and so Mercedes has
to run for her life carrying four belts in her
eye heels. Ah, she run, I was dying.
Speaker 3 (40:30):
It's fantastic.
Speaker 1 (40:31):
It was incredible. That was way better than the butt
getting stuck between the middle and bottom rope spot. Then
we had the real best thing on the show. I
will hear no arguments will this is a bannable offense.
Don Challous does a promo and he says that Kyle
will win the aw title at all in that Don
(40:52):
Callous family will be at the top of AW And
then Don said people will say his full name, and
Don Kellis proceeds to say the name Kyle Fletcher with
more enthusiasm than I think I've ever said anything on
this show, and that goes back a long time. He's incredible,
(41:15):
hurt business promo the usual. Bobby Lashley gives him a
thumbs down again. Now MGF has had enough h and
he makes a bald joke Ashley, maybe some roguain. I
can't say the second thing he.
Speaker 3 (41:31):
Said big bald, and then.
Speaker 4 (41:34):
That was a big mistake.
Speaker 1 (41:35):
Brother Bobby bowls him into the corner. He scares the
life out of him, and he says, we hurt people.
If you want to impress me, you need to hurt somebody.
I think I finally figured out where this is going,
but I'm not going to reveal it yet. Had a
(41:57):
recap of FTR turning Heel reuniting with Stokely. I didn't
hear a complaint about this video package either. It was
very good. Nick Wayne beat Jay Lethal and then Christian like,
I don't know what's going on. Well, I mean I
know what's going on, but they're they're going about it
in an interesting way. Christian tells him turn around, he
(42:17):
wraps the belt around his waist, he collapse, and then.
Speaker 4 (42:21):
He's like.
Speaker 1 (42:23):
Rolls his eyes and chuckles and leaves. Nick is now
on his way to Best of the super Juniors.
Speaker 10 (42:29):
I know nobody else wants this, but give me one
Christian Jay lethal match, please. I don't care when it is,
just give it to me at some point.
Speaker 1 (42:36):
Don't think you're getting it, brother, I know so good though,
both of them. Hang Man and Kyle Fletcher on our
tournament match, Hangman beat the stuffing out of the sky
for minutes on and through two commercial breaks. I didn't
(42:56):
count the moves, but I was not the only one
because a bunch of people in the chat agree here.
He beat this guy so bad that after the second
commercial break, I was certain that that Fletcher was winning
the match and going on to double or nothing. And
he kept beating him, and Kyle would hit him move
(43:19):
and it immediately get countered and killed again. He's bleeding
all over because of a bump into the dasherboards. He's dead,
and so finally like Hangman's beat him so vociferously that
he goes for a buck shot. He gets one low blow,
one brain buster. Everybody believes Hangman's lost. Hang Man kicks out.
(43:42):
They went nuts. Kyle hits the running boot tries the
corner brainbuster, but he gets knocked off buck shot off
the top, buck shot out of the off the apron
pins him and excellent main event. Hangman looked like, I mean,
when this match was, it's Hangman and will Ospray at
(44:03):
double or nothing. One of these men, I bet you
dollars of donuts. One of these men is beating John
Moxley for that title at all in. And when this
match ended, I was like, I don't know which one
would be a better choice, because will Ospray is like,
he's so over, he's so great, But man, this Hangman,
(44:28):
he's so over and he's so great, and he's also
an aw original, which when this whole story's first started
with Moxley, it was clear that.
Speaker 4 (44:37):
Was what the ending was supposed to be.
Speaker 1 (44:39):
It's very much shifted now that Darby's climbing the mountain
and everything like that. But we'll see, we will see,
and there's already look fifty to fifty in the chat
of who should win.
Speaker 4 (44:49):
Back in the moment, obs Ever Live.
Speaker 2 (45:16):
You were listening to Wrestling Observer Live with Brian Alvarez
and Mike simper Vivi on the Sports Byline broadcasting network.
Speaker 1 (45:25):
Started blocking some folks on Twitter. Oh finally, I just
I used to mute them, but h but then I realize,
you know what, they're not learning their lesson. No exactly,
I don't want to see your tweet and I'm I'm
I'm trying to help you understand that, Like, there's better
(45:47):
things to do with your life then troll people on Twitter.
Speaker 4 (45:51):
So you go troll somebody yet.
Speaker 10 (45:52):
A life, it would be one good thing. Go out
and meet another human being, preferably one of whatever you
like to do. You know, find somebody and you know,
go somewhere, see something, do something, open, expand your horizons.
There's a lot of life out there that you could
be living. But instead you jump on YouTube, you jump
(46:13):
on Twitter and all these other places, and you you're
trolling Brian and why for what about wrestling? Like that
really is what gives you satisfaction in life?
Speaker 3 (46:23):
Is just bitching, moaning.
Speaker 1 (46:24):
Comm No, it doesn't give him any satisfaction. Sorry, Dom,
he did it again.
Speaker 10 (46:28):
I'm sorry, but seriously, I mean honestly that this is
what you do for fun, Like it's what they do
for fun.
Speaker 1 (46:35):
It's it's it's it's it's an illness is what it is.
It's not what they do for fun. They don't have fun.
Speaker 3 (46:41):
That's the problem. You don't have fun.
Speaker 1 (46:42):
Hey know what I'm gonna do right Now'm gonna go

Speaker 3 (46:47):
Hmmm, eggs, yep. I know somebody could make those little
bit of.

Cheese almonds, a little bit of whole milk almonds. Yeah,

gonna go sit in the sun.
Speaker 3 (47:00):
Ah yep, the beach. Baby.
