This is a true sad story for ADT, the leader
in homes security systems. My favorite dog, Oliver, was stolen
from our garage recently. If I had a camera system
installed in my home from ADT, I would have known
exactly what car possibly pulled up in my driveway and
stole my little friend.

If I had a security system.
Speaker 7 (04:16):
From ADT, my dog would still be here. I called
ADT this weekend and they're coming out in a few
days to install a camera and a new security system.

Now tonight's Dynamite and Collision tapings because there is a
live Dynamite and then they're taping two episodes of Collision
for this weekend. It is in Omaha, Nebraska.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
And Omaha somewhere in Middle America.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
This place is a disaster. And that's not even a joke.
Like literally, it's pretty much a disaster culture industry or
would you shut up for one second. It's actually a
serious thing. This is what the weather. This was the
weather report from yesterday. Blizzard warning remains an effect. Blizzard
(08:53):
Warning remains an effect from seven am to ten pm today.
Blizzard conditions expected. Total snow accumulations two to seven inches.
Locally higher amounts were possible, winds gusting as high as
sixty five it's seven am to ten pm today. Impacts
Travel will be very difficult, too impossible. Widespread blowing snow
(09:14):
will significantly reduce the visibility. The hazard's conditions will impact
the Wednesday morning and evening commutes. Now, as of about
an hour ago, ten percent of the people there were
supposed to be a dynamite still are not there yet.
And there were actually there were actually a lot of
people that they found out about this apparently on the
(09:37):
Daily Update yesterday.
Speaker 4 (09:39):
And wait, yes, there.
Speaker 9 (09:42):
Were people get their travel and weather information from the
Daily Updated ft W.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Well, they weren't checking the weather, but they saw the
update and they saw the weather report and they were
like oh, and they drove instead.
Speaker 4 (09:53):
Of trying to fly.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
There's several several individuals that were supposed to fly in
that couldn't and so they drove in. And so if
you find out about this till like this morning, you
ain't getting in, brother, it ain't happening. And so at
this point, at this point, they sent out a tweet
and Tony said that basically all of the people in
(10:18):
the top matches were there, but the graphic only showed
John Moxley versus Adam Copeland for the aw title, and
I believe Moxy is one of the people that drove
like eleven hours to get to the building because they
couldn't fly in the International Title Eliminator four way with
Mike Bailey, Orange Cassidy, Mark Davis and Ricochet and Megan
(10:42):
Vain versus Chris Statlaner, there was no The graphic does
not list Mercedes and Billy Starks, So I don't know
if that match is taking place, and if it is,
I don't know if it's a title match. I've had
people say that it has been removed. I've had other
people say it's back on this person says they got
(11:02):
they just got announced.
Speaker 4 (11:03):
Is that right? Because I was up there like.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
Two minutes ago and it wasn't announced. So I can
check again.
Speaker 9 (11:09):
And this is in This is in Omaha, Nebraska, right?
Is it on a college campus? Is it near a
college campus? Because the other thing is going to be yes,
they are running smaller buildings. But if people can't get
there because of white out conditions, which is what they
are calling for in this eight inches of snow that
they're getting in these wins. You know, it's gonna affect
(11:29):
how many people can actually safely travel to the show.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
So that's gonna be Yes, interesting.
Speaker 4 (11:34):
What I've been talking about. It's a disaster, a disaster.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Yes, Tony did just tweet and retweeted that Mercedes and
Billy is on tonight. The blizzard can't stop this fight.
And it has been announced as a TBS title match,
So now we know the answer to the question. It
(11:59):
is a TBS title match Mercedes.
Speaker 4 (12:01):
And Billy Starks.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
So it looks like the four main matches are are
all good to go. And I haven't heard anything really
about anything else other than that, but I've seen I've
seen people actually have sent me videos oh man, and
it's a it's a blizzard, al right, Can.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
You send those to uh who's doing video today?
Speaker 10 (12:22):
Now?
Speaker 9 (12:22):
Put them up there, because we can start a whole
new segment here, traffic and weather on the Eights.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
You know, someday you're gonna have a horrible weather event
there and I'm gonna quip the entire time, the trees
falling on the hell live bah I Live. Well, there's
a tsunami, a surfboard I live.
Speaker 9 (12:40):
In hurricane fear constantly. I have nothing, but my heart
goes out to these people. But again, it's also eight
inches of snow, for Heaven's sakes, not a typhoon or
a tornado blow you through.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
You know what I thought for the first eighteen minutes.
Much a part is going out for these people. Well,
I've been flooded here. Mike's in rare for Mike, Like, dude,
it's a bad situation there, all people, it's a bad
situation there.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
Come on, I know it is. Jeez, I'm not making it.
Speaker 9 (13:12):
Can we just have if this is supposed to be
an enjoyable hour long break in people, well.
Speaker 4 (13:17):
It's not for the poor people in Omaha.
Speaker 9 (13:19):
This isn't just Christ alive and probably add some levity
to this. I'm sorry, Willard Scott over here, Jesus.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Sustaining seventy mile hour winds for the last fifteen Yeah, goodness, gracious,
let's have some levity about those winds.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
College.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
Gee, you're blowing all the time.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
You're gonna look back on this show, Mike, and you're
gonna go. Man, I was harsh to those poor people
in Omaha.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
You stop.
Speaker 9 (13:47):
Come on, they should look I mean, when else do
they get eight inches out there?
Speaker 4 (13:53):
Are you kidding me?
Speaker 1 (13:55):
They just want to keep just dig that hole, dig
that hole. Jimmy smokes, Holy crime, God just disgusted. Well,
you know what, my heart goes out to all you
and omaha, I hope it gets better.
Speaker 4 (14:10):
I hope you can make it to.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
The show tonight and nobody has any problems.
Speaker 4 (14:15):
What kind of guy I am? I'm the grinch.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
Yes, So anyway, that's the matches for tonight, okay, Yes,
and maybe we'll see Daniel Garcia versus Adam Cole with
everyone banned from ringside for the TT and T title
on Saturday, and Halo Graham and Commander versus l FI
on Sunday.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
What's their new name?
Speaker 4 (14:39):
Now, don't worry about it. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
I didn't write down the Commanders of the Air or
something like that, the Los Titanes del Ira.
Speaker 4 (14:50):
Yes, all right.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
I don't know what's going on with Alexa Bliss, but uh,
I mean, something's definitely up. So she has not appeared
on TV in a long time. I believe her last
appearance was at the Royal Rumble.
Speaker 4 (15:08):
Is that right? When's the last time we saw Lexa
Bliss elimination chamber? Was it chamber?
Speaker 3 (15:13):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (15:13):
All right? So how long ago was that? When was
the elimination chamber?
Speaker 3 (15:18):
A couple of weeks ago?
Speaker 4 (15:19):
It's not that long ago.
Speaker 9 (15:20):
Hey, look and look, without anybody saying anything, people want
to jump to conclusions like this is a new mom
and everything. Maybe like it's just like a schedule change.
It doesn't necessarily mean that, like what she's angry with
the promotion or vice versa. Well and said that, Well,
I know, but people want to jump to that conclusion.
Speaker 4 (15:37):
All right.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
Elimination chamber was March first, so it's been almost three
weeks now. She's just vanished and she was scheduled to
be at the World during WrestleMania weekend in Vegas, and
today they pulled her. She will not be there, so, uh,
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (15:57):
We'll try and find out more. Back in the moment,
Observer Live.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
You are listening to Wrestling Observer Live with Brian Alvarez
and Mike Simperviv on the Sports Byline Broadcasting Network.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
We got more breaking news from Omaha.
Speaker 4 (16:33):
Oh yeah, it's not good here.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
This guy says powers on and off says, if you're
not living in this town you ain't getting in. You
would have to have been here yesterday to get here today.
I think that makes sense. You can't drive anywhere safely.
Nobody going tonight or everybody going tonight needs to be careful.
It is one percent not safe. That's from Titus Jacked Lives.
(16:56):
There have more throughout this show, more updates.
Speaker 9 (17:02):
Yeah, can I congratulate you on what kind of worker
you are talking about because you're jumping on me about, like,
you know, offering bad tidings to the people of Omaha. Yes,
yet right before that, like, let me ask you a question. Sure,
if something wacky happens tonight and like a bunch of
(17:22):
people like our massacre tonight in Omaha, Like, will that
be a future edition of After Dark where you ask
people to like give me some crazy stories from that
night in Omaha.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Hey, if it's really weird, is it weird? I'm not
gonna celebrate his You were just as I go, oh man,
that's an awesome massacre.
Speaker 4 (17:45):
You told me about.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Colleage forty five people died, Holy smokes, But I'll give yeah,
you know it wasn't forty six, but I'll.
Speaker 9 (17:51):
Give you forty five minutes to tell the story if
you're good at telling it during my show.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Just want an email about weird things that happened in
your town. I didn't say we're gonna celebrated. I just
want to know what happened, you know, for journalistic nice
try there.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
Though journalistic purposes, right, sir?
Speaker 1 (18:08):
Of course, Saturday Night's Collision four hundred and eight thousand
viewers and a point one zero, so the actual audience
was up by the eighteen to forty nine was low
second lowest they've done since February first, and I don't
know if we've gotten the quarters yet.
Speaker 4 (18:29):
But the one I'm really curious about is, well.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
Here's the thing.
Speaker 9 (18:35):
It's it may be low, as you're looking for that,
but if the overall number was up, then that means
that the rating that was a one point They got
a point one to zero the last week as well too.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
So when it means less eighteen to forty nine year
olds were watching more older.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
People, they at least had more of them this week.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
All right, So I actually might have been wrong, which
is very rare.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
I'm just.
Speaker 4 (18:59):
It is.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
Yeah, So well, I mean it did lose, but it
didn't lose that much. So I was watching this show,
and they had Hologram in Top Flight versus Shane Taylor
Promotions in a standby match at like nine to fifteen.
Speaker 4 (19:16):
No, it's at nine o'clock.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
They had a standby match at the top of the
hour and I watched this and I thought, man, this this.
Speaker 4 (19:23):
Quarter is gonna die.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
And it only lost twenty thousand viewers, which is which
is better than I expected. Actually, the eighteen and forty
nine lost a lot, but it didn't. I mean it didn't.
I felt I thought it was gonna plunge off a
cliff for that one. But actually the collision the quarters
are very interesting because it is a it is like,
(19:46):
what's weird about the show and I can't explain this
is that it literally did the exact opposite of every
collision over the last ninety days. It every every collision
the ninety day average is starting at approximately three hundred
(20:07):
and sixty thousand and just slowly falling until the end
of the show. And this one started at three sixty
and went up for an entire hour and then kind
of stayed there for the rest of the show. So
you know, that's good. I don't know why, but that's
what happened.
Speaker 7 (20:27):
No.
Speaker 9 (20:28):
Matter how you cut it, that's a good thing. Now,
if that's a trend that continues, we'll have to see.
But it's gonna be all wacky the next couple of
weeks anyway, is because I'm sure they're not just doing
it this week. That NCAA tournament's going to be on
for the next couple of weeks, so I could see
him doing it for you know, this whole split collision
thing for at least two weeks.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
Versus apologize to Harley Graham. First off, I didn't say
that Harley Graham. I didn't mention Harle Graham at all.
I mentioned the h the match, and I got no
problem with Harley Graham. Although they should be doing more
with her. You should apologize to Harley Graham. They should
be doing more with her, then putting her under a
mask and being a fake luchidor.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
And then messing with Frank.
Speaker 9 (21:12):
Why why what is it about Frank Morto's that she
needs to be a distraction in that man's life. She
knows that that man's a little unstable.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
By the way, I don't know if he'll allow me
to post this. Actually maybe he posted it. Let me
go find out, because when we were talking about action
Andretti is kids in the picture, so I don't think
we can post it. But we talked about action Andretti
and Leo Rush and their outfits and how they're they're.
Speaker 4 (21:42):
Shadow the Hedgehog.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
Yeah, and.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
Tom was I don't know where he was yesterday, but
his son won a life size sonic that. I mean,
I shouldn't even say life size because I think I
think Shadow the Hedgehog in real life if on the
movie was like short, this, this, this, this, this Shadow
of the Hedgehog is the same size as this, uh,
this twelve year old kid or maybe he's ten now,
(22:11):
but anyway, like this looks exactly like Leo.
Speaker 4 (22:15):
Russian Action Andretti.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
It's like it's the same size, We're in the same outfit.
Speaker 4 (22:22):
I mean, it's uncanny.
Speaker 9 (22:23):
I was gonna say, is Tom's twelve year old kid
bigger than Leo in.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
I wonder if we could like blur out the child's
head so I could tweet this picture out and show
all of you.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
I think you could do that, but you might just
want to ask Tom.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
Well, no obviously asking you idiot, but I'm just pointing
out how we could do it.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
Well, did he put it on Twitter.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
Well, so I'm looking for I can't even find his
Twitter right now.
Speaker 3 (22:45):
Filthy Tom Lawler at filter Tom la.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
Let's see if he put it up there. No, I
don't see it. I'll have to ask him for Oh
no he did. Okay, go to my Twitter at Brian Alvarez. Okay,
go to my Twitter right now. Actually hold on, I
gotta undo the repost and I gotta write something funny.
Speaker 4 (23:04):
He won.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
The the action Andretti doll.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
Okay, what a life sized version of action Andretti?
Speaker 1 (23:18):
I should add life size? Huh sure, Okay.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
You know what. By the way, just never mind, never mind, because.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
Then people then people will go into my my mentions
and talk about how I'm also short, because that's clever.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
You see, well you mean compared to average?
Speaker 1 (23:39):
No, I may I am average and you're the same heights.
So don't start that again. First of all, No, I'm taller.
And if you were in Singapore, maybe that that would.
Speaker 4 (23:46):
Be all right. I tweeted it out everybody. It's public.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
We're gonna, we're gonna, we're gonna make it. You know
what else I'm gonna tweet out. Maybe I'll tweet this
out just for my uh my ex subscribe. But you

Speaker 4 (32:22):
Why do I plug it?
Speaker 1 (32:23):
Because the Brian and Minie show last night you can
only hear as a subscriber. And we have been reviewing
mid South Wrestling from nineteen eighty four and last night
we reviewed season six, episode seventeen.
Speaker 4 (32:42):
Stupid show.
Speaker 1 (32:45):
Bill Watts, of all people wrote a stupid show, made
no sense whatsoever.
Speaker 4 (32:52):
So they did an angle.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
As Mike furiously clicks away at that mouse to try
to find the exact episode to watch later on tonight.
So they did this angle where Jim Cornett manages the
Midnight Express Heel team and he's all cocky and he says, tonight,
I have three open contracts. My men are going to
(33:17):
defend the tag team titles three times on the show tonight. However,
he said there's some teams that aren't allowed to Nner
and he rattles off this list of teams, and one
of the teams obviously is the Rock and Roll Express.
Speaker 4 (33:33):
They're not allowed.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
So Midnight Express goes out face two job guys, beat
him quick.
Speaker 4 (33:41):
That's the first title match. Go to commercial.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
Comeback, they face another job or team, beat him quick.
Speaker 4 (33:47):
Go to commercial. Actually, before they go to commercial, they.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
Go back to the desk and Bill Watt says, fans,
I have just received news that's the third team that
hassigned this contract is mister Wrestling and mister Wrestling Too,
and we're gonna see that match when we come back
(34:10):
from the break.
Speaker 4 (34:11):
Jim Cornett doesn't know, so they go to commercial.
Speaker 1 (34:15):
I'm like, what, mister Wrestling and mister Wrestling too, they're heels.
They're heels, and they're gonna face the other heels for
the tag team titles.
Speaker 4 (34:25):
What I gotta even know.
Speaker 1 (34:27):
What's going on?
Speaker 4 (34:28):
So they go to break.
Speaker 1 (34:29):
They come back, Midnight expresses in the ring an outcome
Mister Wrestling and mister Wrestling too. They got their robes on,
their masks and everything, and they get in the ring
and they take their robes off, and immediately both announcers
are like that ain't mister Wrestling one and two. That's
a rock and Roll Express who. Of course rock and
(34:50):
Roll Express were not allowed to challenge for the tag
team titles.
Speaker 4 (34:54):
Those were one of the rules.
Speaker 1 (34:56):
Well, they don't just wrestle the match with the mass
they immediately take the masks off and it's the Rock
and Roll Express.
Speaker 4 (35:05):
I'm like, you.
Speaker 1 (35:05):
Guys aren't allowed. That was made clear, you're not allowed
to wrestle. So they wrestled a match anyway, and they
win the tag team titles. The next Prescott completely screwed here.
So then they come back from commercial and guess who
Bill Wats is interviewing. Oh, mister Wrestling one and mister
(35:28):
Wrestling two. You know, they say, they go, what our
names were on the contract for this tag team title match?
We didn't sign our names on the contract.
Speaker 4 (35:38):
And on top of that, mister Wrestling says he's a heel.
Speaker 1 (35:40):
By the way, on top of that, I went to
my car this afternoon and all the tires, all the
tires were flat. Someone let all the air out of
the tires. Someone broke into my trunk, somebody stole my
masks and my robes, and they've impersonated me. And apparently
(36:01):
they've come here and they've won the tag team titles.
I've seen there watching this whole thing going. So you're
telling me the rock and Roll Express, who By the way,
at the beginning of the show, the announcers a contest
win a date with these two, a date with the
Rock and Roll Express. So they vandalized this man's property,
(36:25):
broke into his car, stole apparently like it's grand theft
because these were very expensive robes, said mister Wrestling, stole
his property, forged his name, identity theft. This is so
far five crimes that they've committed. And then they went
(36:46):
in and they stole the tag team titles as the
Rock and Roll Express in a match where the Rock
and Roll Express weren't allowed to compete. And Bill Wats,
the guy in charge, is just he's just like, looks
like that happened. And the point of all of this is,
had it been any other year, I would have said, you,
(37:09):
Bill Watts are the worst GM I have ever seen
in the history of wrestling. You're worse than Jack Tunney,
You're worse than people Power, John Lornidis. You are the
dirt worst. But you know what saved Bill Watts from
that Moniker.
Speaker 3 (37:29):
In fact, it made loads of money.
Speaker 1 (37:30):
The fact that Ava exists. Do you know what happened
on this NXT show?
Speaker 3 (37:38):
Everybody? I do.
Speaker 7 (37:40):
So.
Speaker 1 (37:43):
The women's North American champion was Fallon Henley. Okay, Fallon
Henley lost her championship.
Speaker 4 (37:55):
Okay, she lost the belt.
Speaker 1 (37:58):
She then every week thereafter, first politely, and then she
got more and.
Speaker 4 (38:05):
More irritated, as she should have.
Speaker 1 (38:07):
She went up and she said, Ava, when am I
getting my rematch? I was the champion? I lost my belt?
When am I getting my rematch for the title?
Speaker 4 (38:18):
And you know what?
Speaker 1 (38:19):
Ava said?
Speaker 7 (38:20):
What?
Speaker 4 (38:21):
Well?
Speaker 1 (38:22):
Ava said nothing? Ava said, Fallon, We're not talking about
this right now. Fallon, I'm busy. We're not discussing this
right now. Fallon, I don't have time right now. She
just blew her off, blew her off, blew her off.
Fallon finally invaded a press conference where literally Ava is
(38:42):
there to answer questions about what is going on in NXT.
Speaker 4 (38:47):
She's at a press conference.
Speaker 1 (38:51):
Fallon invades the press conference and she's like, Ava, when
am I going to get my rematch for the Women's
North American title? And Ava said, We're not here to
discuss that right now. I was like, yes, that's the
whole point of a press conference. Blew her off again,
she walked off. Felon's a heel, by the way, it's
(39:12):
just like Mid South. Fallon is a heel getting screwed
by the GM and ignored for no good reason. Felon
didn't do anything to deserve this. She's ignored, She's ignored,
She's ignored. And then on the show I Swear to
God last night, Ava is in the locker room and
(39:33):
she's with Stephanie, who is the double champion, and so, yes, exactly,
it's exactly what happened with Eddie Thorpe, which caused that
guy to snap, and then she got mad about it
because he snapped even though she was responsible. So anyway,
Ava's in the in the in the in the office,
she's with Stephanie, the double champion. Fallon walks in and
(39:53):
she says, Ava, I've asked when am I gonna get
my rematch? And do you know what Ava said?
Speaker 10 (40:01):
What?
Speaker 1 (40:02):
Do you know what she said to Fellon Henley When
Fallon asked when am I gonna get my rematch? Ava said,
and I quote Fellon, we talk about this every week.
Speaker 4 (40:14):
I got so angry.
Speaker 3 (40:16):
They do.
Speaker 1 (40:17):
I got so angry when she said that, because you
know what they don't do every week, they don't talk
about it. She's never talked about it. Fella has tried
to talk about it. Ava has ignored her, ignored or
ignored or ignored or ignored her. And this week she
has the absolute temerity to say that we.
Speaker 4 (40:36):
Talk about this every week, all censor myself.
Speaker 1 (40:43):
That is a.
Speaker 4 (40:48):
Jimminy Christmas.
Speaker 1 (40:52):
So then, of all people, Julia the double champion is
standing right there Stephanie Backer, a seventy backer and Stephanie
Stephanie goes give her the rematch, give it to her,
and Ava responds by rolling her eyes. Oh and and
(41:19):
Fellen says, great, I wont it next week. Ava says, well, no,
you can't have it next week because Stephanie's already got
a match with Jada Parker next week. And Fella goes,
too bad, she's a double champion, and Stephanie goes, I'll
do it. I'll defend the title twice in one night.
(41:40):
Ava's like, clueless, huh, what you have two titles? You're
gonna defend him both in one night?
Speaker 4 (41:47):
Fine, I guess it's on.
Speaker 1 (41:49):
Oh my god, Stephanie can barely speak English, like she
literally in her promo goes, I can barely speak English.
She spoke better English and was a better GM than
Ava on this show, My God. So next week it's
two matches. Next week, Stephanie is gonna defend the Women's title,
(42:10):
I guess against Jada and the North American title against Fallon.
So my guess is that what probably will happen is
she will retain the Women's title against Jada, but then
maybe Fallon might actually win the North American title, or hey,
maybe she'll successfully uh defend both.
Speaker 4 (42:33):
But anyway, they got that.
Speaker 1 (42:35):
And also this is how they set up this match.
Javon Evans is backstage and he and this trick is
an absolute jerk. Trick is just being such a jerk
to poor Javon, and Javon like he's all irritated because
this guy's is a jerk. Trick walks off and Lexis
King goes up and he goes, yeah, it could have
been worse, like you know, he had no teeth for
(42:55):
a while or whatever he's being now he's being a jerk,
and so Jevon goes boom punches, and that's leading to
a Heritage Cup match next week Javon Evans and Lexus King.
And I mean I got two thoughts on this. Number One,
Javon should not be losing to Lexus King next week. However,
(43:17):
I don't see the point in putting the Heritage Cup
on him because the main event angle that they did
it involved Trick, Oba Femi and Javon.
Speaker 4 (43:30):
And I mean I'm.
Speaker 1 (43:33):
Speculating here, but I mean Tricks He's basically half called
up already. Oba could spend some more time in NXT,
my brother, that guy can be called up now for
all I care. I mean, he has good matches with everybody.
He has good matches with other green geeks I shouldn't
(43:53):
say other. He has good matches with green Geeks, and
he has good matches with people on the main roster.
There's no reason this guy I need to spend more
time here unless they just want him to for whatever reason.
So I think they're gonna do a three way at WrestleMania,
and I believe Javon Evans is gonna win the NXT
title at Stand and Deliver.
Speaker 4 (44:15):
Finally, and do you want to know what the other
most annoying thing was this?
Speaker 9 (44:20):
Actually, you know what's the most annoying thing is to me?
Is I called this and you just never mind this?
Speaker 1 (44:26):
This was even more annoying than Ava. Okay, Javan's running
wild at the end and he lays out Oba Femi
and he stands tall and he's going face to face
with Trick and you know this idiot. Vic Joseph said
this idiot? He said, does this young o g have
your attention now?
Speaker 4 (44:48):
I got I gotta go. Wrestlers, al.

(07:49):
weird story from your hometown.
Speaker 4 (07:51):
What is weird?
Speaker 1 (07:51):
If you asked a normal person, what is weird? Mean,
that's all sorts of things. Did it ever rain frogs
in your town? I mean, that's what we're asking for.
My mom went to school with the green River Killer.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
That's weird.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
It wasn't a ghost, not yet, so anyways, send him
to me. Brian at after Dark radio show dot com.
Now tonight's Dynamite and Collision tapings because there is a
live Dynamite and then they're taping two episodes of Collision
for this weekend. It is in Omaha, Nebraska.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
And Omaha somewhere in Middle America.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
This place is a disaster. And that's not even a joke.
Like literally, it's pretty much a disaster culture industry or
would you shut up for one second. It's actually a
serious thing. This is what the weather. This was the
weather report from yesterday. Blizzard warning remains an effect. Blizzard
(08:53):
Warning remains an effect from seven am to ten pm today.
Blizzard conditions expected. Total snow accumulations two to seven inches.
Locally higher amounts were possible, winds gusting as high as
sixty five it's seven am to ten pm today. Impacts
Travel will be very difficult, too impossible. Widespread blowing snow
(09:14):
will significantly reduce the visibility. The hazard's conditions will impact
the Wednesday morning and evening commutes. Now, as of about
an hour ago, ten percent of the people there were
supposed to be a dynamite still are not there yet.
And there were actually there were actually a lot of
people that they found out about this apparently on the
(09:37):
Daily Update yesterday.
Speaker 4 (09:39):
And wait, yes, there.
Speaker 9 (09:42):
Were people get their travel and weather information from the
Daily Updated ft W.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Well, they weren't checking the weather, but they saw the
update and they saw the weather report and they were
like oh, and they drove instead.
Speaker 4 (09:53):
Of trying to fly.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
There's several several individuals that were supposed to fly in
that couldn't and so they drove in. And so if
you find out about this till like this morning, you
ain't getting in, brother, it ain't happening. And so at
this point, at this point, they sent out a tweet
and Tony said that basically all of the people in
(10:18):
the top matches were there, but the graphic only showed
John Moxley versus Adam Copeland for the aw title, and
I believe Moxy is one of the people that drove
like eleven hours to get to the building because they
couldn't fly in the International Title Eliminator four way with
Mike Bailey, Orange Cassidy, Mark Davis and Ricochet and Megan
(10:42):
Vain versus Chris Statlaner, there was no The graphic does
not list Mercedes and Billy Starks, So I don't know
if that match is taking place, and if it is,
I don't know if it's a title match. I've had
people say that it has been removed. I've had other
people say it's back on this person says they got
(11:02):
they just got announced.
Speaker 4 (11:03):
Is that right? Because I was up there like.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
Two minutes ago and it wasn't announced. So I can
check again.
Speaker 9 (11:09):
And this is in This is in Omaha, Nebraska, right?
Is it on a college campus? Is it near a
college campus? Because the other thing is going to be yes,
they are running smaller buildings. But if people can't get
there because of white out conditions, which is what they
are calling for in this eight inches of snow that
they're getting in these wins. You know, it's gonna affect
(11:29):
how many people can actually safely travel to the show.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
So that's gonna be Yes, interesting.
Speaker 4 (11:34):
What I've been talking about. It's a disaster, a disaster.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Yes, Tony did just tweet and retweeted that Mercedes and
Billy is on tonight. The blizzard can't stop this fight.
And it has been announced as a TBS title match,
So now we know the answer to the question. It
(11:59):
is a TBS title match Mercedes.
Speaker 4 (12:01):
And Billy Starks.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
So it looks like the four main matches are are
all good to go. And I haven't heard anything really
about anything else other than that, but I've seen I've
seen people actually have sent me videos oh man, and
it's a it's a blizzard, al right, Can.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
You send those to uh who's doing video today?
Speaker 10 (12:22):
Now?
Speaker 9 (12:22):
Put them up there, because we can start a whole
new segment here, traffic and weather on the Eights.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
You know, someday you're gonna have a horrible weather event
there and I'm gonna quip the entire time, the trees
falling on the hell live bah I Live. Well, there's
a tsunami, a surfboard I live.
Speaker 9 (12:40):
In hurricane fear constantly. I have nothing, but my heart
goes out to these people. But again, it's also eight
inches of snow, for Heaven's sakes, not a typhoon or
a tornado blow you through.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
You know what I thought for the first eighteen minutes.
Much a part is going out for these people. Well,
I've been flooded here. Mike's in rare for Mike, Like, dude,
it's a bad situation there, all people, it's a bad
situation there.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
Come on, I know it is. Jeez, I'm not making it.
Speaker 9 (13:12):
Can we just have if this is supposed to be
an enjoyable hour long break in people, well.
Speaker 4 (13:17):
It's not for the poor people in Omaha.
Speaker 9 (13:19):
This isn't just Christ alive and probably add some levity
to this. I'm sorry, Willard Scott over here, Jesus.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Sustaining seventy mile hour winds for the last fifteen Yeah, goodness, gracious,
let's have some levity about those winds.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
College.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
Gee, you're blowing all the time.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
You're gonna look back on this show, Mike, and you're
gonna go. Man, I was harsh to those poor people
in Omaha.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
You stop.
Speaker 9 (13:47):
Come on, they should look I mean, when else do
they get eight inches out there?
Speaker 4 (13:53):
Are you kidding me?
Speaker 1 (13:55):
They just want to keep just dig that hole, dig
that hole. Jimmy smokes, Holy crime, God just disgusted. Well,
you know what, my heart goes out to all you
and omaha, I hope it gets better.
Speaker 4 (14:10):
I hope you can make it to.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
The show tonight and nobody has any problems.
Speaker 4 (14:15):
What kind of guy I am? I'm the grinch.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
Yes, So anyway, that's the matches for tonight, okay, Yes,
and maybe we'll see Daniel Garcia versus Adam Cole with
everyone banned from ringside for the TT and T title
on Saturday, and Halo Graham and Commander versus l FI
on Sunday.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
What's their new name?
Speaker 4 (14:39):
Now, don't worry about it. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
I didn't write down the Commanders of the Air or
something like that, the Los Titanes del Ira.
Speaker 4 (14:50):
Yes, all right.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
I don't know what's going on with Alexa Bliss, but uh,
I mean, something's definitely up. So she has not appeared
on TV in a long time. I believe her last
appearance was at the Royal Rumble.
Speaker 4 (15:08):
Is that right? When's the last time we saw Lexa
Bliss elimination chamber? Was it chamber?
Speaker 3 (15:13):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (15:13):
All right? So how long ago was that? When was
the elimination chamber?
Speaker 3 (15:18):
A couple of weeks ago?
Speaker 4 (15:19):
It's not that long ago.
Speaker 9 (15:20):
Hey, look and look, without anybody saying anything, people want
to jump to conclusions like this is a new mom
and everything. Maybe like it's just like a schedule change.
It doesn't necessarily mean that, like what she's angry with
the promotion or vice versa. Well and said that, Well,
I know, but people want to jump to that conclusion.
Speaker 4 (15:37):
All right.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
Elimination chamber was March first, so it's been almost three
weeks now. She's just vanished and she was scheduled to
be at the World during WrestleMania weekend in Vegas, and
today they pulled her. She will not be there, so, uh,
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (15:57):
We'll try and find out more. Back in the moment,
Observer Live.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
You are listening to Wrestling Observer Live with Brian Alvarez
and Mike Simperviv on the Sports Byline Broadcasting Network.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
We got more breaking news from Omaha.
Speaker 4 (16:33):
Oh yeah, it's not good here.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
This guy says powers on and off says, if you're
not living in this town you ain't getting in. You
would have to have been here yesterday to get here today.
I think that makes sense. You can't drive anywhere safely.
Nobody going tonight or everybody going tonight needs to be careful.
It is one percent not safe. That's from Titus Jacked Lives.
(16:56):
There have more throughout this show, more updates.
Speaker 9 (17:02):
Yeah, can I congratulate you on what kind of worker
you are talking about because you're jumping on me about, like,
you know, offering bad tidings to the people of Omaha. Yes,
yet right before that, like, let me ask you a question. Sure,
if something wacky happens tonight and like a bunch of
(17:22):
people like our massacre tonight in Omaha, Like, will that
be a future edition of After Dark where you ask
people to like give me some crazy stories from that
night in Omaha.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Hey, if it's really weird, is it weird? I'm not
gonna celebrate his You were just as I go, oh man,
that's an awesome massacre.
Speaker 4 (17:45):
You told me about.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Colleage forty five people died, Holy smokes, But I'll give yeah,
you know it wasn't forty six, but I'll.
Speaker 9 (17:51):
Give you forty five minutes to tell the story if
you're good at telling it during my show.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Just want an email about weird things that happened in
your town. I didn't say we're gonna celebrated. I just
want to know what happened, you know, for journalistic nice
try there.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
Though journalistic purposes, right, sir?
Speaker 1 (18:08):
Of course, Saturday Night's Collision four hundred and eight thousand
viewers and a point one zero, so the actual audience
was up by the eighteen to forty nine was low
second lowest they've done since February first, and I don't
know if we've gotten the quarters yet.
Speaker 4 (18:29):
But the one I'm really curious about is, well.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
Here's the thing.
Speaker 9 (18:35):
It's it may be low, as you're looking for that,
but if the overall number was up, then that means
that the rating that was a one point They got
a point one to zero the last week as well too.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
So when it means less eighteen to forty nine year
olds were watching more older.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
People, they at least had more of them this week.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
All right, So I actually might have been wrong, which
is very rare.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
I'm just.
Speaker 4 (18:59):
It is.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
Yeah, So well, I mean it did lose, but it
didn't lose that much. So I was watching this show,
and they had Hologram in Top Flight versus Shane Taylor
Promotions in a standby match at like nine to fifteen.
Speaker 4 (19:16):
No, it's at nine o'clock.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
They had a standby match at the top of the
hour and I watched this and I thought, man, this this.
Speaker 4 (19:23):
Quarter is gonna die.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
And it only lost twenty thousand viewers, which is which
is better than I expected. Actually, the eighteen and forty
nine lost a lot, but it didn't. I mean it didn't.
I felt I thought it was gonna plunge off a
cliff for that one. But actually the collision the quarters
are very interesting because it is a it is like,
(19:46):
what's weird about the show and I can't explain this
is that it literally did the exact opposite of every
collision over the last ninety days. It every every collision
the ninety day average is starting at approximately three hundred
(20:07):
and sixty thousand and just slowly falling until the end
of the show. And this one started at three sixty
and went up for an entire hour and then kind
of stayed there for the rest of the show. So
you know, that's good. I don't know why, but that's
what happened.
Speaker 7 (20:27):
No.
Speaker 9 (20:28):
Matter how you cut it, that's a good thing. Now,
if that's a trend that continues, we'll have to see.
But it's gonna be all wacky the next couple of
weeks anyway, is because I'm sure they're not just doing
it this week. That NCAA tournament's going to be on
for the next couple of weeks, so I could see
him doing it for you know, this whole split collision
thing for at least two weeks.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
Versus apologize to Harley Graham. First off, I didn't say
that Harley Graham. I didn't mention Harle Graham at all.
I mentioned the h the match, and I got no
problem with Harley Graham. Although they should be doing more
with her. You should apologize to Harley Graham. They should
be doing more with her, then putting her under a
mask and being a fake luchidor.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
And then messing with Frank.
Speaker 9 (21:12):
Why why what is it about Frank Morto's that she
needs to be a distraction in that man's life. She
knows that that man's a little unstable.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
By the way, I don't know if he'll allow me
to post this. Actually maybe he posted it. Let me
go find out, because when we were talking about action
Andretti is kids in the picture, so I don't think
we can post it. But we talked about action Andretti
and Leo Rush and their outfits and how they're they're.
Speaker 4 (21:42):
Shadow the Hedgehog.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
Yeah, and.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
Tom was I don't know where he was yesterday, but
his son won a life size sonic that. I mean,
I shouldn't even say life size because I think I
think Shadow the Hedgehog in real life if on the
movie was like short, this, this, this, this, this Shadow
of the Hedgehog is the same size as this, uh,
this twelve year old kid or maybe he's ten now,
(22:11):
but anyway, like this looks exactly like Leo.
Speaker 4 (22:15):
Russian Action Andretti.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
It's like it's the same size, We're in the same outfit.
Speaker 4 (22:22):
I mean, it's uncanny.
Speaker 9 (22:23):
I was gonna say, is Tom's twelve year old kid
bigger than Leo in.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
I wonder if we could like blur out the child's
head so I could tweet this picture out and show
all of you.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
I think you could do that, but you might just
want to ask Tom.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
Well, no obviously asking you idiot, but I'm just pointing
out how we could do it.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
Well, did he put it on Twitter.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
Well, so I'm looking for I can't even find his
Twitter right now.
Speaker 3 (22:45):
Filthy Tom Lawler at filter Tom la.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
Let's see if he put it up there. No, I
don't see it. I'll have to ask him for Oh
no he did. Okay, go to my Twitter at Brian Alvarez. Okay,
go to my Twitter right now. Actually hold on, I
gotta undo the repost and I gotta write something funny.
Speaker 4 (23:04):
He won.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
The the action Andretti doll.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
Okay, what a life sized version of action Andretti?
Speaker 1 (23:18):
I should add life size? Huh sure, Okay.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
You know what. By the way, just never mind, never mind, because.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
Then people then people will go into my my mentions
and talk about how I'm also short, because that's clever.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
You see, well you mean compared to average?
Speaker 1 (23:39):
No, I may I am average and you're the same heights.
So don't start that again. First of all, No, I'm taller.
And if you were in Singapore, maybe that that would.
Speaker 4 (23:46):
Be all right. I tweeted it out everybody. It's public.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
We're gonna, we're gonna, we're gonna make it. You know
what else I'm gonna tweet out. Maybe I'll tweet this
out just for my uh my ex subscribe. But you
know he's running for governor and in Washington State.
Speaker 3 (24:04):

They'll make a lot of money. Leads England, Leeds United,

we reviewed season six, episode seventeen.
Speaker 4 (32:42):
Stupid show.
Speaker 1 (32:45):
Bill Watts, of all people wrote a stupid show, made
no sense whatsoever.
Speaker 4 (32:52):
So they did an angle.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
As Mike furiously clicks away at that mouse to try
to find the exact episode to watch later on tonight.
So they did this angle where Jim Cornett manages the
Midnight Express Heel team and he's all cocky and he says, tonight,
I have three open contracts. My men are going to
(33:17):
defend the tag team titles three times on the show tonight. However,
he said there's some teams that aren't allowed to Nner
and he rattles off this list of teams, and one
of the teams obviously is the Rock and Roll Express.
Speaker 4 (33:33):
They're not allowed.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
So Midnight Express goes out face two job guys, beat
him quick.
Speaker 4 (33:41):
That's the first title match. Go to commercial.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
Comeback, they face another job or team, beat him quick.
Speaker 4 (33:47):
Go to commercial. Actually, before they go to commercial, they.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
Go back to the desk and Bill Watt says, fans,
I have just received news that's the third team that
hassigned this contract is mister Wrestling and mister Wrestling Too,
and we're gonna see that match when we come back
(34:10):
from the break.
Speaker 4 (34:11):
Jim Cornett doesn't know, so they go to commercial.
Speaker 1 (34:15):
I'm like, what, mister Wrestling and mister Wrestling too, they're heels.
They're heels, and they're gonna face the other heels for
the tag team titles.
Speaker 4 (34:25):
What I gotta even know.
Speaker 1 (34:27):
What's going on?
Speaker 4 (34:28):
So they go to break.
Speaker 1 (34:29):
They come back, Midnight expresses in the ring an outcome
Mister Wrestling and mister Wrestling too. They got their robes on,
their masks and everything, and they get in the ring
and they take their robes off, and immediately both announcers
are like that ain't mister Wrestling one and two. That's
a rock and Roll Express who. Of course rock and
(34:50):
Roll Express were not allowed to challenge for the tag
team titles.
Speaker 4 (34:54):
Those were one of the rules.
Speaker 1 (34:56):
Well, they don't just wrestle the match with the mass
they immediately take the masks off and it's the Rock
and Roll Express.
Speaker 4 (35:05):
I'm like, you.
Speaker 1 (35:05):
Guys aren't allowed. That was made clear, you're not allowed
to wrestle. So they wrestled a match anyway, and they
win the tag team titles. The next Prescott completely screwed here.
So then they come back from commercial and guess who
Bill Wats is interviewing. Oh, mister Wrestling one and mister
(35:28):
Wrestling two. You know, they say, they go, what our
names were on the contract for this tag team title match?
We didn't sign our names on the contract.
Speaker 4 (35:38):
And on top of that, mister Wrestling says he's a heel.
Speaker 1 (35:40):
By the way, on top of that, I went to
my car this afternoon and all the tires, all the
tires were flat. Someone let all the air out of
the tires. Someone broke into my trunk, somebody stole my
masks and my robes, and they've impersonated me. And apparently
(36:01):
they've come here and they've won the tag team titles.
I've seen there watching this whole thing going. So you're
telling me the rock and Roll Express, who By the way,
at the beginning of the show, the announcers a contest
win a date with these two, a date with the
Rock and Roll Express. So they vandalized this man's property,
(36:25):
broke into his car, stole apparently like it's grand theft
because these were very expensive robes, said mister Wrestling, stole
his property, forged his name, identity theft. This is so
far five crimes that they've committed. And then they went
(36:46):
in and they stole the tag team titles as the
Rock and Roll Express in a match where the Rock
and Roll Express weren't allowed to compete. And Bill Wats,
the guy in charge, is just he's just like, looks
like that happened. And the point of all of this is,
had it been any other year, I would have said, you,
(37:09):
Bill Watts are the worst GM I have ever seen
in the history of wrestling. You're worse than Jack Tunney,
You're worse than people Power, John Lornidis. You are the
dirt worst. But you know what saved Bill Watts from
that Moniker.
Speaker 3 (37:29):
In fact, it made loads of money.
Speaker 1 (37:30):
The fact that Ava exists. Do you know what happened
on this NXT show?
Speaker 3 (37:38):
Everybody? I do.
Speaker 7 (37:40):
So.
Speaker 1 (37:43):
The women's North American champion was Fallon Henley. Okay, Fallon
Henley lost her championship.
Speaker 4 (37:55):
Okay, she lost the belt.
Speaker 1 (37:58):
She then every week thereafter, first politely, and then she
got more and.
Speaker 4 (38:05):
More irritated, as she should have.
Speaker 1 (38:07):
She went up and she said, Ava, when am I
getting my rematch? I was the champion? I lost my belt?
When am I getting my rematch for the title?
Speaker 4 (38:18):
And you know what?
Speaker 1 (38:19):
Ava said?
Speaker 7 (38:20):
What?
Speaker 4 (38:21):
Well?
Speaker 1 (38:22):
Ava said nothing? Ava said, Fallon, We're not talking about
this right now. Fallon, I'm busy. We're not discussing this
right now. Fallon, I don't have time right now. She
just blew her off, blew her off, blew her off.
Fallon finally invaded a press conference where literally Ava is
(38:42):
there to answer questions about what is going on in NXT.
Speaker 4 (38:47):
She's at a press conference.
Speaker 1 (38:51):
Fallon invades the press conference and she's like, Ava, when
am I going to get my rematch for the Women's
North American title? And Ava said, We're not here to
discuss that right now. I was like, yes, that's the
whole point of a press conference. Blew her off again,
she walked off. Felon's a heel, by the way, it's
(39:12):
just like Mid South. Fallon is a heel getting screwed
by the GM and ignored for no good reason. Felon
didn't do anything to deserve this. She's ignored, She's ignored,
She's ignored. And then on the show I Swear to
God last night, Ava is in the locker room and
(39:33):
she's with Stephanie, who is the double champion, and so, yes, exactly,
it's exactly what happened with Eddie Thorpe, which caused that
guy to snap, and then she got mad about it
because he snapped even though she was responsible. So anyway,
Ava's in the in the in the in the office,
she's with Stephanie, the double champion. Fallon walks in and
(39:53):
she says, Ava, I've asked when am I gonna get
my rematch? And do you know what Ava said?
Speaker 10 (40:01):
What?
Speaker 1 (40:02):
Do you know what she said to Fellon Henley When
Fallon asked when am I gonna get my rematch? Ava said,
and I quote Fellon, we talk about this every week.
Speaker 4 (40:14):
I got so angry.
Speaker 3 (40:16):
They do.
Speaker 1 (40:17):
I got so angry when she said that, because you
know what they don't do every week, they don't talk
about it. She's never talked about it. Fella has tried
to talk about it. Ava has ignored her, ignored or
ignored or ignored or ignored her. And this week she
has the absolute temerity to say that we.
Speaker 4 (40:36):
Talk about this every week, all censor myself.
Speaker 1 (40:43):
That is a.
Speaker 4 (40:48):
Jimminy Christmas.
Speaker 1 (40:52):
So then, of all people, Julia the double champion is
standing right there Stephanie Backer, a seventy backer and Stephanie
Stephanie goes give her the rematch, give it to her,
and Ava responds by rolling her eyes. Oh and and
(41:19):
Fellen says, great, I wont it next week. Ava says, well, no,
you can't have it next week because Stephanie's already got
a match with Jada Parker next week. And Fella goes,
too bad, she's a double champion, and Stephanie goes, I'll
do it. I'll defend the title twice in one night.
(41:40):
Ava's like, clueless, huh, what you have two titles? You're
gonna defend him both in one night?
Speaker 4 (41:47):
Fine, I guess it's on.
Speaker 1 (41:49):
Oh my god, Stephanie can barely speak English, like she
literally in her promo goes, I can barely speak English.
She spoke better English and was a better GM than
Ava on this show, My God. So next week it's
two matches. Next week, Stephanie is gonna defend the Women's title,
(42:10):
I guess against Jada and the North American title against Fallon.
So my guess is that what probably will happen is
she will retain the Women's title against Jada, but then
maybe Fallon might actually win the North American title, or hey,
maybe she'll successfully uh defend both.
Speaker 4 (42:33):
But anyway, they got that.
Speaker 1 (42:35):
And also this is how they set up this match.
Javon Evans is backstage and he and this trick is
an absolute jerk. Trick is just being such a jerk
to poor Javon, and Javon like he's all irritated because
this guy's is a jerk. Trick walks off and Lexis
King goes up and he goes, yeah, it could have
been worse, like you know, he had no teeth for
(42:55):
a while or whatever he's being now he's being a jerk,
and so Jevon goes boom punches, and that's leading to
a Heritage Cup match next week Javon Evans and Lexus King.
And I mean I got two thoughts on this. Number One,
Javon should not be losing to Lexus King next week. However,
(43:17):
I don't see the point in putting the Heritage Cup
on him because the main event angle that they did
it involved Trick, Oba Femi and Javon.
Speaker 4 (43:30):
And I mean I'm.
Speaker 1 (43:33):
Speculating here, but I mean Tricks He's basically half called
up already. Oba could spend some more time in NXT,
my brother, that guy can be called up now for
all I care. I mean, he has good matches with everybody.
He has good matches with other green geeks I shouldn't
(43:53):
say other. He has good matches with green Geeks, and
he has good matches with people on the main roster.
There's no reason this guy I need to spend more
time here unless they just want him to for whatever reason.
So I think they're gonna do a three way at WrestleMania,
and I believe Javon Evans is gonna win the NXT
title at Stand and Deliver.
Speaker 4 (44:15):
Finally, and do you want to know what the other
most annoying thing was this?
Speaker 9 (44:20):
Actually, you know what's the most annoying thing is to me?
Is I called this and you just never mind this?
Speaker 1 (44:26):
This was even more annoying than Ava. Okay, Javan's running
wild at the end and he lays out Oba Femi
and he stands tall and he's going face to face
with Trick and you know this idiot. Vic Joseph said
this idiot? He said, does this young o g have
your attention now?
Speaker 4 (44:48):
I got I gotta go. Wrestlers, al.
