with our listeners what we've been workingon. So you know we got some
cool stuff. Awesome. You've beenvery busy, Brendan. I know.
(00:54):
It's it's good to have work.I need a holiday now. It's good
to be gainfully employed. We're herewith many, many, many time co
hosts, guest host Gringo Fantastico.How are you? I am great?
(01:15):
How are you guys? I guessI know how you guys are because we
talked before this, But hey,I'm doing well. I'm doing well.
Thank you. That's good. We'reall doing just fine. So we have
this episode of Collision. Now.Aw's been on a hell of a run
a TV programming the last month orso, several great episodes in a row.
So I was like the pressures onCollision and Calgary. I took a
(01:40):
look at the lineup and I waslike, Eh, it's not bad.
It's not what it was last week, but there's some star power in here.
But we're gonna jump right in.Gringo. What did you think looking
at the lineup ahead of time?Where you like overwhelmed, underwhelmed, whelmed?
(02:00):
I was kind of just I don'tknow, it's kind of neutron because
because I mean in the past I'vebeen neutral on and kind of been like,
eh, this doesn't look great,and then it always surprises me.
So I was just like, well, okay, it's neutral and see what
happens. I didn't really think youthink of it. Yeah, this seemed
more like a traditional Collision card.I think last week's was like maybe the
(02:23):
most star power they've had on aCollision over a year. Maybe, Yeah,
that seems about right. Yeah,this one seemed more like a regular
Collision. Let's get into it.Uh So we got Takeshta, We get
right to it. Takeshta, whoI've missed taken on Tommy Billington Dynamite Kid.
(02:49):
Tommy Billington very weird. Yeah,it's uh, you know, it
is a gringo. Maybe you knowwhat is Tommy Billington's exact relation to Tommy
Billington Dynamite Kid. It's his uncle. So that's his uncle. But he
is he is using the Dynamite Kidname. Oh yeah, and he looks
(03:09):
just like him. It's weird.Yeah, it is a trip. Uh,
so takesha versus Tommy Billington. Uh, this is a banger match.
And I thought Billington looked great.Oh yeah, he was awesome. I
was impressed. Yeah he is.You could tell he's a little bit raw.
He's a little bit young, butman does he got it in his
(03:32):
jeans. And I don't mean itway. I'm screaming. Theyways call him
greenhorns when they're yeah yeah he Uh, he's good and a couple of near
falls, Takasha hits the blue thunderbomb, uh, and he only gets a
near fall, and uh, they'rekind of doing the farm shots. Takasha
(03:53):
kind of wins and gets a ttrigger to secure the victory. About fourteen
minutes, a real good it andBillington. He works so old school.
Uh, and it's not like he'snot over people aren't like super into him,
But man, would I keep aneye on him. I think he
could he could be something. Yeah. I hope they I hope they have
(04:15):
him on more. I hope he'slike a regular part of the roster and
doesn't get just like kind of shuffledinto the mix like they do sometimes,
because I would love to see himmore. Yeah, and we kind of
have a fun moment here too.Postmatch, Don Kallas kind of grabs the
microphone and attempts to kind of recruitBillington into the family, and Billington like
(04:38):
shakes Kalous's hands and tells him tokiss his ass and then takesht and Kyle
Fletcher just like any great old schoolfaction immediately just to get to beating on
Billington. But who returns to makethe save my favorite tag team of all
time after you are the best tagteam of Yeah, your favorite tag team.
(04:59):
Let's let's is it? Brandon?You know I love FTR. I
can't any but I mean, Ijust you know, I just I feel
like you've mentioned Okay, continue,I mean, I like, I like
other like of all time. Ilike other tag teams. I love the
Heart Foundation. Oh yeah, Ilove Demolition. I was a big fan
(05:20):
of Power and Glory. Oh God, I love Power and Glory. They
were so sick that finishing moved tothis day is one of the sickest ones
of all time. Dude, AnFDR does it sometimes? Yeah, dude,
we used to do that when wewere kids. One of us would
suplex like a giant body pillow offof the couch and the other one would
take a do a splash off ofthe adjacent love seat. I was always
(05:41):
a big Hercules Hernandez fan. ButPaul Romo that was I always hated Paul
Romo. That was the first timeI liked him was when he was in
Power and Glory. Wow, becausethis was this uh this was coming off
of his young stallions. Oh yeah, with Jim and Jim Powers and yeah
just too. They're like, let'sput these jobbers together and see what happens.
(06:02):
It worked, It worked, Itdid work. A few pay per
views later, they were still goingBrendan's over there, like, who the
hell are you guys talking about?Good Lord? Is this eighties wrestling?
Please? No, I'm screaming.I could just sit here, y'all will
talk for me, and I'll belike, yep, yeah, I bet
(06:23):
that was cool. Great, Brendan, how much of this did you actually
get to catch? I would say, what like a good sixty percent of
it? Okay? Cool? Anyany thoughts on Takeshta and Young Britt Tommy
Billington. I I like Takeshta alot, so, I mean, obviously,
(06:46):
I'm very much of a If I'mfamiliar with you, I will I
will usually root for you, unlessit's you know, I'm Jeff because I
have taste and I prefer quality andthings. So that's just me. That's
just me personally. Like you know, so I was happy to see Takeshta
back. And I don't know verymuch about Tommy Billington, I mean,
(07:09):
but he put on a good show, so you know, I again,
I like Tokeshta. You know,he's been fun to watch over the past
two years. But you know,I'm curious to see where where Tommy goes
you know from this. Yeah,me too. And you know, Takesha
was kind of perfect guy to puthim in there with because so sharp,
(07:32):
so hard hitting, everything looks soreal and obviously Tom Billington coming from you
know those genes, He's gonna workstiff. So it just looked really high
impact the whole match, which Ithought was cool. Oh yeah, he
was. The moves he was doing, they were like it brought took me
back because I kept waiting the wholetime. I'm like, where's the head
butt? Yeah, and I'm like, and where's and don't do it too
(07:55):
often, don't do that exactly.Want stand listening to the race like some
snapsouplexes. It was really cool.Oh, it's very cool. It's good
ship. Next up we got theBang Bang Gang. That's Austin Gun,
Colton Gun and Truce Robinson. Uhmissing, I guess I'm not going to
let him do the free bird freebird rules here, No freebird rule missing
(08:18):
is Jay whyatt We're gonna get tothat in a second. Uh. They're
taking on London Lightning Sean Moore andI'm not kidding. A guy named Michael
Allan Richard Clark. Yeah, that'sthat's a name though. That's going to
stick around. Michael Alan Richard Clark. That motherfucker has foreign how dare you?
(08:39):
Yeah, he's like going to behere for a while he's like a
super hyphen it. Yeah. I'mlike, bro, you just take every
name of every man in your familyand just be like, that's my wrestling
name. I can I can saythat this this trio wasn't exactly a household
name. Maybe maybe locally up there, but yeah, yeah, yeah,
(09:01):
this was this was something they getthe shit kicked out of them. The
Guns and Juice Robinson went in abouttwo minutes. The big story here is
the postmatch. Colton Gun grabs themic and is like, Christian Cage hurt
j White, but it's okay.Juice Robinson is going to take over U.
Christopher Daniels comes out there and he'slike, hey, the injury is
(09:22):
going to make us strip the BangBang Gang of the Trios titles. The
Patriarchy comes out obviously, Christian Cageis like, yo, those are ours,
because you know we heard them.Chrisopher Daniel's like, now you guys
are gonna have a match, souh, they'll see him down the road.
They don't really announce when the matchis going to be, but they're
going to fight for the trios title. Maybe it'll be at all In in
(09:45):
London. We'll see that's what Ithink, yeah, what do you think
of them stripping them of the titles? I don't know. I prefer the
free bird rule, but yeah,that's just me. But it's okay.
I mean, yeah, they're justdoing their own thing. Yeah, okay,
(10:07):
Brendan, any thoughts on this one. I mean I think that it
was a good opener. I knowthat more recently I've been a little harsh
on the opening and how I feellike, you know, sometimes it's kind
of like they have the feelings ofjust like, oh, it's just another
episode, let's just open it.And sometimes it's like, oh, this
(10:30):
is actually like an opener, AndI think this one kind of fell more
in lince with Okay, this isthere was time and effort put into this
and you know all that. Somy thoughts are, I was very pleased
with what it opened up. Goodgood. Yeah, Collision Collisions ran into
the problem post last or pre lastweek of seeming like a B show,
and I think they are doing abetter job of making it feel like maybe
(10:58):
a B plus show. Yeah,you know, maybe not an A show,
but it'll be plus show. Uh. They do recap Jack Perry beating
up his old friend Marco Stunt,who's very short. Uh, A House
of black cuts a promo and they'relike, starting next week. I love
that. They're like, it's likewhen you want to go on a diet,
You're like, starting Monday, we'rereally gonna start heading toy. They're
(11:22):
like, starting next week, we'regonna bring in our journey to Wembley Stadium.
They're like, not this week,but we're next week we're gonna start.
I was like, I've been thereso many times. Man, I'm
gonna start eating better on Monday.A video of Jeff Jair and doctor Martha
Hart is shown as they were backstagthis past Wednesday. Then we get into
(11:46):
Roderck Strong taking on Dalton Castle andI gotta say roder Strong gets the win
here, but Dalton Castle is criminallyunderrated. Oh he's so good. Yeah,
what a great fucking match this was. It was It was. It
was just back and forth. Itwas a lot better than I even I
anticipated, because I kind of thoughtthey were just gonna steamroll over him,
(12:07):
right because he got squashed a coupleof weeks ago. Yeah, but no,
I guess that he was like,hey, guys, that's not cool,
Like, let me. He musthad a conversation with somebody where he's
like, hello, the guy oneof his I can't remember the guys he
comes out with, but one ofthose dudes looks like Kmart Scott Norton completely
(12:33):
completely. I was like, where'sIce ice Train going to come out with
him? Ice Train? Yeah?This was uh, this is this is
good ship. Uh Don Castle,very flamboyant Brendan. He's bringing the Beyonce
(12:54):
vibes that you're always kind of lookingfor. What do you think of that?
I was about to say, I'mlike, I'm mean, his outfits
are definitely something he it's very muchlike you would have reminded me of Do
you guys know Charo? Do youremember her? Like hell? Yeah,
Yeah, it was very much vibes. Yeah, he is like Charo,
(13:18):
which I'm here for personally. Yeah. I mean, I wish they would
push that guy more. I wishI'd like to see him more on like
Dynamite on the MA like because it'salmost like it's a main roster thing,
although it's not, but yeah,I'd like to see him more in the
up on the upfront of everything.You're so right, Gringo, it's a
main roster gimmick. Yeah, forsure, like that kind of gets Uh.
(13:41):
It's so much better than like FANDOWENGGO, you know what I mean.
It's in that same genre and thatsame niche, but it's so much more
fun. And Doncastle is so muchmore charismatic. Oh yeah, Like and
he just he looks like he whenhe goes into the ring he's fighting.
Like when Johnny Kerr to Who's Fandangowhen he would wrestle. I was kind
(14:03):
of like, okay, whatever,But Dalton Castle, man, that guy
just looks like he could tear youup if he wanted to. You know
what I mean. He's a beefydude. Yeah he is. He's not
starting that diet on Monday nights,and god damn it, we don't want
you to. So next up,Mark Brisco cuts a promo from his house.
(14:30):
Uh, he's like, bro,what's up? Uh, Mark Briskow.
I love that they're kind of MarkBrisco is like mister a w now
yeah, which I think is great. And Robert Strong and Mark Brisco are
going to wrestle at Death before dishonorat a ring of honor, which should
be great. Again, it's weirdto have ring of honor stuff being set
(14:54):
up on AW television. But we'rejust gonna we're just gonna tellble that.
See. I always thought that thatMark Brisco should have been on the AW
roster from when he when they firstcame there, like instead of him shuffling
over the Ring of Honor, becauseI mean a Ring of honor, it's
one of those things where it's likeyou have to get a separate subscription stuff
to watch it, right, AndMark Brisco is just so charismatic he should
(15:18):
be in the forefront of everything.So I never really understood why they didn't
just put him on the AW roster, right, Yeah, And he,
like Mark Brisco is the kind ofguy that will make you click over,
Like he's that charismatic where you're like, I need to see what this crazy
(15:39):
fuck is gonna do. You know, He's definitely that guy. I love
that they were shooting in his barnand you could just and I was looking
at I was telling my wife shewas watching it with me, and I'm
like, they're actually shooting that inhis barn. There's like birds flying around
and on the background, land andall all this stuff. Yeah, Yeah,
I love when they do. Secondit's from Mark Brisco's home because it's
(16:02):
always just very strange. He's livinga life that a lot of people aren't
living, you know what I mean. That gives you like a cut into
it where it's just like this guylives a different kind of way than a
lot of us. We get anothervignette for Hologram h and it appears he
(16:22):
will be making his debut next week. Do you know anything about the sky
Gringo? No, I don't knowanything about it. I know nothing about
it. I haven't even seen anythingreally on the dirt sheets or I don't
read the dirt sheets too much,but occasionally I'll hop into him and I
haven't seen anything. Yeah, I'mjust what do you think? I don't
(16:45):
know who the fuck this guy is? I don't know. Yeah, yeah,
I don't know. Well, we'llfind out soon. Somebody knows.
Leave a comment if you know whothis Hologram character is. It's Jim and
the Holograms, Jim and the holDude. I would be so here for
(17:07):
that all day, Jim and theHolograms taking on Tony Storm and well not
Ria May. At this point,we all saw how that went down.
Uh, LEXI, theare is interviewingStokely and Chris Stallander Stokely. Hathaway says,
uh, Will and Iingale, everythingshe got this year was because of
us and the statlanders like this willnever be over you. Like, man,
(17:32):
that's a threat, that's just areal threat. Yeah, that's just
resonating evil. Yeah. Yeah,she just doesn't want to deal with it.
You know, we didn't mention itlast week, but Willan Nightingale did
a great tribute to owen Hart bywearing the danger onesie last week and the
owen Hart Final. And I justwant to acknowledge how bad asked. I
was good, good on you,Will and I gil we forgot. I
(17:55):
forgot to mention it was in mynotes too, and I forgot to mention
it. So if you if youmissed it last week, I'm acknowledging it
now. Did you call it aonesie onesie? Remembering onesie is good too.
That's a little kay, that's ababy children were He's where he came
(18:17):
out with this romper, you know, yeah, yeah, he came out
came out with a gosh onesie.I'm sorry. Nyla Rose takes on Ava
Lawless in this next one. It'sa squash for Nyla Rose. Uh.
While we're talking Nyla Rose isn't gonnaend up. She challenges Mercedes Monnet,
which we're going to get to ina second. But while we're talking about
(18:37):
the women, I do want tosay Stephanie Bakor signed with the WWE and
she was just on for bidden door. She just wrestled on for bid door
and she signed with w W.And it caused quite a stir because I
guess she's bouncing out on a bunchof bookings. Uh. I thought it
would have been nice. I knowa W was interested in her long term.
(19:00):
She chooses w W. Grengo,do you have any thoughts on that?
Uh? Yeah, I think.I mean that's not the way you
do business. Like, you don'tjust bail on your bookings. That's like
that's like wrestling one oh one rightthere. You don't do that. It's
just not cool. But she's alreadyhad her first match with WWE. Yeah,
it already happened. Yeah they did. They were in Mexico, so
(19:22):
it just kind of worked out.But I don't know, like I think
she I think she's gonna fit inwith WWE really well. I don't think
there's any doubt about that, butI just wish that she wouldn't have uh
did business the way that she did. But you know, whatever, she's
gonna she's gonna be a big star, I think, and uh unfortunate that
she did burn quite a few bridgeson the way out. But yeah,
(19:45):
they're they're gonna they're gonna let hercome back easily if she she decides that.
Uh, WWE is kind of gonnashuffle her in, which I mean
historically WWE has they just shuffle peoplein and give him a top billing.
I guess both promotions do that though, so I mean whatever, Yeah,
we'll see what happens with her.I mean the deck is pretty thick over
(20:06):
there, so pretty easy to getlost in it. We do have an
hour two start and we have arecap of Brian Daniels and winning the Men's
owen Hart Cup. He's taken onSwart, Strickland and Wembley. And then
we have a fun one and hthis was top flight h with the action
is ready kind of hanging out andthen taking off Shane Taylor Promotions. It's
(20:30):
Anthony A. Go Goo and LeeMoriarty. Shane Taylor is with them.
Uh this one was super fun.It did as it like they didn't have
the best chemistry. I didn't think, but no, a lot of high
spots, so many high spots,and Lee Moriarty just looks great every week.
(20:52):
I'm so glad he's on TV more. What were you saying, Brendan,
No, he was like they didn'thave the best chemistry, and I'm
like, nope, oh yeah,yeah they did. You could tell that
they probably haven't spent a lot oftime in the ring with each other.
It might have a lot to dowith Anthony or Go Go being not super
(21:14):
polished at this point. Yeah.I mean I think that was a sleeper
match though, as in like Ididn't think it was going to be all
that great. I mean, Dan'teMartin's great, but uh but I wasn't
really expecting it to be anything,and it turned out to be pretty decent.
I usually I'll like get on myphone or I'll text or something,
but I was actually glued to thematch, so it didn't right. And
(21:34):
I thought moriolrety, he's so impressiveto me, like he can really work.
Yeah yeah, all those guys manand he can connect and you know,
I love Dante Martin and Darius lookedgreat. A Go Go is so
raw, good brawler, but soraw still. But yeah, I didn't
think it was bad. I justthink that they looked a little clumsy with
each other, but uh, it'sstill fun. Yeah. I think maybe
(22:00):
that's how they're using collision a littlebit, because they seem to be putting
a lot of the young greenhorn talenton there to let them wrestle some of
the more veteran wrestlers, just tokind of give them time to see what
it would be like to be ona tele you know, televised crowd and
stuff like that. And there Iguess it seems like they're just using collision
to do that more because I'm seeinga lot of people that don't I don't
(22:22):
normally see, right, I agree, Brendan. Any thoughts on uh these
guys other than the fact that itwas pretty noticeable that they probably haven't haven't
been in the ring a lot witheach other. They haven't. But I
also, I mean, like there'sthe shady side of me that's like that
chemistry is more off than maybe Gagaand Christina aguil Air performed together. But
(22:48):
that being sad, that's a tenyear reference right there. Let's see how
many people get that God that thatbeing sad. I'm here used to see
how kind of builds over time,because you know, it just might mean
it might it might just be oneof those you know, like Nate was
saying, they need to get inthe ring more, they need to be
(23:10):
together more, they need to likeknow more about each other. And so
let's put a pin in this andthen we'll come back in about four months
and discuss. Hey, good call, you know, yeah, because it
could be like listen, you knowthat one of them are just not going
to have the chemistry, but thequestion is which one? So you know,
(23:32):
we can reassess, oh you know, what's going to happen. Oh
yeah, I know that's funny,but yeah, you have that's a very
valid points because yeah, I say, I mean remember when Powerhouse Hobbs first
showed up, Yeah, and Iwas like, boy, this guy needs
some work. Man, they needto like put him in some I mean
this was early on, like thiswas isn't like any time recent because he's
(23:55):
pretty good now. I was justlike, this dude needs some work.
He can't he's green as hell.He's gonna hurt somebody, right, and
I, you know, I thoughtthe same about Wardlow to it first and
both those guys after being on TV, after working with several of the talents,
they were able to hone their craftand kind of figure it out.
And yeah, I think Brendan's right. I think that's just what they need.
(24:18):
Yeah, so I tend to agreewith that we should mention Shane Taylor
to jump Top Flight after the match, so setting up some future plans for
the Shane Taylor promotions taken on TopFlight with Action Andretti, who just doesn't
even get used anymore. No,he doesn't. Yeah, he's just completely
(24:41):
like they won't allow him in aring. I guess at this point Jericho
put him over and then they justdid nothing with him. I know.
Yeah, it's kind of weird.Lexi Nair interviews Deanna Fraza. Thunder Rosa
interrupts and she's like, yo,bitch, let's wrestle on a lumberjack match
(25:03):
on Saturday. And she's like allright, And then so they're going to
wrestle in Arlington in a lumberjack match. They do pivot about with Lexi and
she's interviewing Nyla Rose and she's gonnawrestle Mercedes Monday on AW Dynamite on Wednesday.
(25:26):
This is a I like this becauseMercedes Monday works with bigger opponents yeah
so well, and Nyla Rose workswith smaller opponents very well. So I
think this is going to be veryfun. It should be. And the
mention that Dynamites the two hundred andfiftieth episode of Dynamite, so they're bringing
in the first ever women's champ totake on the current women's yesh, I
(25:49):
think is really cool. Yeah,we're very cool. I love that idea.
This is a you know, I'vegot to give AW credit. They
featured the women very prominently in this. In this show, we had three
women's matches in the show, whichnever happens. No. The next one
(26:15):
is sky Blue taking on Harley Cameron. Harley's out there with Sorea. I
gotta say sky Blue gets to win, but I was super impressed with Harley
Cameron. She has next to noexperience, she looks like a million bucks,
and she is getting so much betterin the ring. What did you
all think of this one? Grengo, Let's start with you and then I'd
love to get Brendan's thoughts as well. The one thing I noticed about Harley
(26:38):
Camer. Yeah, she is gettinga lot better. Also, that blood
curdling scream, Oh my god,like she did that. At first,
I was like, what the hellwho did that? Because she was she
was when she screamed, she waschoking, you know, she was choking
Nyla or not Nayla? Yeah,I can't remember anyways, sky Blue sky
(27:00):
Blue, that's right, Yeah,she's choking sky Blue and she screams at
her and I'm like, wait,shouldn't this be like sky Blue screams because
I thought it was sky Blue orsomething they're like, And then I was
like, oh my god, noit wasn't. What the hell's going on?
Yeah, this this is a lotof fun. I loved them putting
sky Blue over, but Harley Cameronlooking good and the loss does a lot
(27:21):
for her, I think, especiallylike it's almost like a reward to give
her kind of this kind of matchso late in the show because she's busting
her ass. You can tell,yeah she is, Brenda. What do
you think of this sky Blue takingon o' Harley Cameron? I liked it.
(27:45):
I mean, like I thought itwas good. I think that the
look for both of them amazing.Props to Hearing makeup department if they have
them, because I know that sometimeswrestling they don't. It's up to the
performers, but props to them.Sky Blue ten like, yeah, she's
(28:07):
so good. I love her too, like like the stage persona like it's
giving. Yes, the best shortsin the business is what a lot of
my friends say about sky Blue.Yeah, that's very true. She's not
not hard to look at. Iwill say this after the match. There
is a Learning Tree recap video.Brendan. I don't know if you saw
(28:32):
this, but Chris Jericho murdered SamoJoe last week. I wouldn't call it
a murder. I'd call it ahomicide. Yeah that it's giving me.
There was a full on homicide rightthere. But so ri Ip Joe.
(28:52):
But yeah, Jericho's character as wetalked about last week, Uh, definitely
divisive, but totally working at thispoint, which is awesome. Sky Blue
cuts a promo she challenges the Karashidato a match that's gonna be fun.
Uh, and it's a it's anotherfeud that does not involve a title of
(29:14):
any any kind, which it's interestingwe have this. Uh, the main
event which I gotta be honest,this doesn't feel like a main event of
a of a of a TV showin twenty twenty four. It's un disputed
(29:36):
Kingdom Matt's Haven and Mike Bennett takingon the Conglomeration Kyle O'Reilly and Orange Cassidy
now Orange casting a singles match maybe, but uh, I think the most
interesting thing about this is that trumpBretta basically focks the Conglomeration over Matt's Haven
and Mike Bennett get to win.It's like the power driver for the penfall,
(30:02):
which was gnarly. Uh. RogerStrong tried to get involved tomorrow here
tell my hero she got involved.Uh. It was very schma fantastic at
the end. And then postmatch,Trimperetta jumps O'Riley and uh Cassidy actually hits
Trimperetta with a monkey wrench, which, ol, you can't write this ship
(30:26):
with a monkey wrench. Babyface teamwas kind of like standing tall afterward.
Uh, this was fun for sure, developed a lot of stories. Uh
what'd you think of this one,gringo? What do you think? The
match was awesome? The back andforth, Yeah, like Orange Cassie's always
(30:47):
awesome, Kyle O'Riley is a lotof fun to watch this because of what
his technical approach to wrestling. Ireally enjoy uh And I think it's really
interesting what they're doing with Kyle O'Reillyand Robert and Roddy, and then those
guys didn't want to fight him,so Orange tagged himself in at the beginning,
(31:07):
which was I thought was hilarious.Yeah, completely, And then I
just I'm trying. I'm want toknow what the hell they're doing with this
Kyle O'Reilly thing with roder I knowit's gonna end up in and I it
should end up with Kyle O'Reilly versusRoddy, it should, right, And
I hope that's where they're going withthat. I hope it's not just Alwa's
just going to join them like thatwould be kind of dumb and anti climactic,
(31:30):
but it could still end up beingthat. Don't you have that feeling
in your stomach where you're like,o'riley's just gonna end up going with Roddy
strong and not just speeded Elite,you know, Yeah, it's sitting in
there. I hope not. Yeah, I hope not either, because it
would be so easy to do itthat way, and I hope they kind
of figure out a better way todo it. And poor Orange, like
(31:52):
you just lost another friend. Iknow he can't leave any more friends.
He needs friends. He's got thebig hit bowl e E. I know
he's got that guy. That guy, that guy looks like a maniac.
Brendan, what what were your thoughtson this one? It was fine,
(32:13):
you know, going back to whatyou said of your just being like,
eh, like yeah, it wasgood, but I mean, like,
you know, this show took placein Canada, and it was very Canada,
(32:34):
you know, you know what Imean, like no shade, but
like you know what I mean,it was very much just like, oh,
yeah, I get you. Itwas like, oh, stand guard
for thee. I thought that's whereyou were going to go with it.
Nice. I agree. This mainevent is one there where I was like,
(32:59):
eh, I like the match,but I could have we could have
done this in the middle of theshow probably Yeah you know what I will
Yeah, go ahead, Brendan,No, no, okay, I was
just oh, okay, well,I was saying that. One thing I
want to point out about this ishow awesome Matt Tavan is getting, like
(33:22):
as a worker, like he wasa guy that kind of just I was
like, Eh, this guy's likereal vanilla, like there's nothing to him.
And now I watch this guy andI actually really like Mike Bennetts still
kind of vanilla a little bit,but Matt Tavan is really starting to stand
out for me, which is weirdbecause I think Mike Bennett's been around a
lot longer. He's got the name, definitely has more name recognized recognition at
(33:45):
this point. But yeah, Iwould agree with you. And you know,
they all can work. All theguys can work, and I guess
they are. I mean, therewas good crowd reactions during the match,
so uh, you know, eventuallythis is going to lead to either O'Reilly
taking on Roddy Strong or or turningon Orange cast say, and I hope
(34:07):
it's not the latter. So well, well we'll see what happens there.
But that was the main event.We made it through aw collision. Listen.
Not every week is going to belike a ten out of ten,
you know, right, And lastweek was so good that I can't find
myself compare to comparing it, youknow. Yeah, so we'll rate it
(34:32):
on its own volition. Also,we're gonna rate it on Monkey Wrenches,
because why wouldn't we, So we'regonna do one to five. I'm gonna
we'll start with Gringo and then Brendan, I'll say, and then I have
my notes from Diana that I willread. Okay, Okay, I'm gonna
(34:55):
give it three and a half monkeyWrenches because fair. Well, because like
because seeing Dynamite, you know,Dynamite Kid Tommy Billington was really cool and
that match was a banger. Andalso I thought the main event was really
really good too. I wasn't like, oh my god, I like this
is the greatest you know, seventeenstar Meltzer match or something like that,
(35:16):
but but I thought it was prettygood. It was entertaining, so and
the matches were in and also thematch with uh you know Top Flight and
and and Shane Uhan Taylor Jane TaylorProductions. Yeah, that was a great
match too. They were just solidmatches and but it wasn't anything to write
home about. So I'll give itthree and a half. I think three
(35:37):
and a half is fair. Brendan, What you got, Nate? Why
are you so nice? I don'tknow. It's probably because I'm I don't
know why I thought it was beingwas trying to be nice. I don't
rest of them. This show wasgiving two and a half. We started
off well, but they lost thefucking momentum. Like I mean, I
don't get it. Like it's likethe same notes I've been giving for months
(36:00):
on it and the years years twoyears now on end. It's like I
get it that Collision used to bemy favorite, but like as Tyra Banks
would say, we were all rootingfor you, and I mean, like
it was giving five. Like Iget it that it's in Canada, but
we don't have This is like ageneric Kylemark movie, Like you need to
(36:21):
be giving, like they filmed Repo, the Genetic Operating Canada. Give me
that energy. Don't give me Hallmarkenergy with this one night. Those are
my thoughts. Hey, yeah,it's so wild, all right. Uh.
I think that's good, really good. I'm gonna go with three and
a half. I found enough redeemingqualities in it. Uh. And I'm
(36:44):
trying not to rate it against lastweek's banger episode of Collision, but I
liked more than I did, andso I think three and a half Mocky
Ranchsel we'll do. Diana gave itfour mocky ranch and uh, she didn't
really she didn't really go on aboutmuch, but she does have some details
(37:07):
for her awards. So let's goahead and go to first things first.
The John Holmes Stick of the Week. Wait, the ghosts gave it four.
Uh loves he still has family upin Calgary. Is it just a
family? I'm a little curious aboutthis. Yeah, I mean it's third
and fourth cousins. Uh, theynever made out or anything. Is this
(37:31):
the ghost from Mike Tyson's mysteries?This might be, it might there might
be one on the same Uh.So we do have the John Holmestick of
the Week. Who who are yougonna go with? Gringo? I'm gonna
go with Trumperetta. Yeah you kindof have to. Uh yeah, he
(37:52):
was a pretty obvious choice for meas far as I'm concerned, and he
is injured for real, but alsolike fuck him for what he did.
Yeah, that's real shitty, dude. If you're listening to this, you're
a dick. You're a dick.Bro Brendan, who I know, I
agree, I agree, Yeah,it's I had a feeling this is gonna
(38:15):
be unanimous against Trent. Diane alsopicked Trent. Uh, and so that's
four for Trent a real dick.It means he's a huge dick. We
we do have the Dewey Riley heroof the week? Uh, who are
who are you gonna go with?Grengo? Oh god, this is a
(38:37):
really tough one. I'm gonna gowith uh, Tommy Billington for for that
fight man keeping up with Takesha.Holy ship, I can tell you I
think that's a That's a great choice. Brendan, who do you got?
I like Takeshta. Stop stealing mychoices. This is why I need to
go first. Well you went withTommy Tommy Billick, so you guys actually
(39:00):
had opposite ends, but I thinkthey're both heroic. I think it makes
sense day to go. Thanks Kesha. Takesha is a hero in his native
land and in our hearts. Butalso his name is just like fun to
say, and like here, I'llgive you the the crazy Madonna reference you
always wanted. There's like a remixof Hung Up with this singer named Toshika.
(39:23):
So every time I say like Takeshta, I'm like, oh my god,
it's like the beginning of the remixsong that that's content you do not
get another podcasts Uh. I actuallyam gonna go with FTR for coming out
and saving Tommy Billington. Nice,Diana will with Dalton Castle for existing.
(39:52):
I think it's great. Honorable mentionto the new Dynamite Kid and FTR uh
and cowboy hat off to the Iand my kid for standing up to Perma
diict Don Callas true true nice.Uh Freddy versus Showdown or or Match of
the Week. Uh, what dowe got for this one? Gringo.
(40:15):
I'm gonna go with Takeshta and TommyBillington because I would match was awesome,
really good. Yeah. I likedit too, Brendan, you got thoughts.
Next question, he's taking the pats, all right, that's cool,
that's fair. I'm gonna go withit. I'm gonna go with I'm gonna
(40:37):
I'm gonna go with the opener aswell. To Keshton. It's actually the
opener. I just wanted to say. Next question. I loved it.
I loved it. I was like, you know, Brandon, don't want
to answer this one. I'm gonnamake him. He's very conflicted so much.
(41:01):
Diana well with the main event,which is fair. It was good.
Yeah, it was good, alot of fun. There's a couple
of bangers and here little mini bangers. In my opinion, yeah nothing.
That was like Dynamite's Hangman versus Danielsonmatch. But you know, you're not
ever going to have that every week. So all right, So we gave
(41:22):
out some awards. At this point, we're going to promote what we got.
We got to promote Brendon. Let'sstart with you. We haven't talked
in a bit. What's going onin Brenda Petrizzo's land. You have anything
you can share, absolutely, So. I am actually in the middle of
producing two different movies back to back. One of them I know one's going
(41:44):
to come out in September. Itis a fantasy film, but it's more
of like fantasy, a little bitof horror in there. We're gonna sprinkle
some stuff in as of right now, we're going to have a little bit
of Italian influence on the zombies init. Nice that can change, but
like you know, we have that. And then there's another film that'll be
out probably December January, which I'llbe producing right after in the Wonderful Country
(42:07):
of Australia and then right after thatI am back in Ireland and England.
So it is a lot of travel. It's been traveling around the world and
I wish the paychecks, you know, reflected that, but they definitely don't.
(42:30):
But I've just been working NonStop,RelA relatable content there, you know
how it is. Nate, how'sthe film you're doing, because I know
you're working on stuff. Oh well, I've got the show. I've got
season three on Troman now that wejust wrapped on about two weeks ago,
and the premieeres on September first,as long as I can get the edit
(42:52):
done on time. I have myother movie, but that's I have a

It's it's good to have work.I need a holiday now. It's good
to be gainfully employed. We're herewith many, many, many time co
hosts, guest host Gringo Fantastico.How are you? I am great?
(01:15):
How are you guys? I guessI know how you guys are because we
talked before this, But hey,I'm doing well. I'm doing well.
Thank you. That's good. We'reall doing just fine. So we have
this episode of Collision. Now.Aw's been on a hell of a run
a TV programming the last month orso, several great episodes in a row.
So I was like the pressures onCollision and Calgary. I took a
(01:40):
look at the lineup and I waslike, Eh, it's not bad.
It's not what it was last week, but there's some star power in here.
But we're gonna jump right in.Gringo. What did you think looking
at the lineup ahead of time?Where you like overwhelmed, underwhelmed, whelmed?
(02:00):
I was kind of just I don'tknow, it's kind of neutron because
because I mean in the past I'vebeen neutral on and kind of been like,
eh, this doesn't look great,and then it always surprises me.
So I was just like, well, okay, it's neutral and see what
happens. I didn't really think youthink of it. Yeah, this seemed
more like a traditional Collision card.I think last week's was like maybe the
(02:23):
most star power they've had on aCollision over a year. Maybe, Yeah,
that seems about right. Yeah,this one seemed more like a regular
Collision. Let's get into it.Uh So we got Takeshta, We get
right to it. Takeshta, whoI've missed taken on Tommy Billington Dynamite Kid.
(02:49):
Tommy Billington very weird. Yeah,it's uh, you know, it
is a gringo. Maybe you knowwhat is Tommy Billington's exact relation to Tommy
Billington Dynamite Kid. It's his uncle. So that's his uncle. But he
is he is using the Dynamite Kidname. Oh yeah, and he looks
(03:09):
just like him. It's weird.Yeah, it is a trip. Uh,
so takesha versus Tommy Billington. Uh, this is a banger match.
And I thought Billington looked great.Oh yeah, he was awesome. I
was impressed. Yeah he is.You could tell he's a little bit raw.
He's a little bit young, butman does he got it in his
(03:32):
jeans. And I don't mean itway. I'm screaming. Theyways call him
greenhorns when they're yeah yeah he Uh, he's good and a couple of near
falls, Takasha hits the blue thunderbomb, uh, and he only gets a
near fall, and uh, they'rekind of doing the farm shots. Takasha
(03:53):
kind of wins and gets a ttrigger to secure the victory. About fourteen
minutes, a real good it andBillington. He works so old school.
Uh, and it's not like he'snot over people aren't like super into him,
But man, would I keep aneye on him. I think he
could he could be something. Yeah. I hope they I hope they have
(04:15):
him on more. I hope he'slike a regular part of the roster and
doesn't get just like kind of shuffledinto the mix like they do sometimes,
because I would love to see himmore. Yeah, and we kind of
have a fun moment here too.Postmatch, Don Kallas kind of grabs the
microphone and attempts to kind of recruitBillington into the family, and Billington like
(04:38):
shakes Kalous's hands and tells him tokiss his ass and then takesht and Kyle
Fletcher just like any great old schoolfaction immediately just to get to beating on
Billington. But who returns to makethe save my favorite tag team of all
time after you are the best tagteam of Yeah, your favorite tag team.
(04:59):
Let's let's is it? Brandon?You know I love FTR. I
can't any but I mean, Ijust you know, I just I feel
like you've mentioned Okay, continue,I mean, I like, I like
other like of all time. Ilike other tag teams. I love the
Heart Foundation. Oh yeah, Ilove Demolition. I was a big fan
(05:20):
of Power and Glory. Oh God, I love Power and Glory. They
were so sick that finishing moved tothis day is one of the sickest ones
of all time. Dude, AnFDR does it sometimes? Yeah, dude,
we used to do that when wewere kids. One of us would
suplex like a giant body pillow offof the couch and the other one would
take a do a splash off ofthe adjacent love seat. I was always
(05:41):
a big Hercules Hernandez fan. ButPaul Romo that was I always hated Paul
Romo. That was the first timeI liked him was when he was in
Power and Glory. Wow, becausethis was this uh this was coming off
of his young stallions. Oh yeah, with Jim and Jim Powers and yeah
just too. They're like, let'sput these jobbers together and see what happens.
(06:02):
It worked, It worked, Itdid work. A few pay per
views later, they were still goingBrendan's over there, like, who the
hell are you guys talking about?Good Lord? Is this eighties wrestling?
Please? No, I'm screaming.I could just sit here, y'all will
talk for me, and I'll belike, yep, yeah, I bet
(06:23):
that was cool. Great, Brendan, how much of this did you actually
get to catch? I would say, what like a good sixty percent of
it? Okay? Cool? Anyany thoughts on Takeshta and Young Britt Tommy
Billington. I I like Takeshta alot, so, I mean, obviously,
(06:46):
I'm very much of a If I'mfamiliar with you, I will I
will usually root for you, unlessit's you know, I'm Jeff because I
have taste and I prefer quality andthings. So that's just me. That's
just me personally. Like you know, so I was happy to see Takeshta
back. And I don't know verymuch about Tommy Billington, I mean,
(07:09):
but he put on a good show, so you know, I again,
I like Tokeshta. You know,he's been fun to watch over the past
two years. But you know,I'm curious to see where where Tommy goes
you know from this. Yeah,me too. And you know, Takesha
was kind of perfect guy to puthim in there with because so sharp,
(07:32):
so hard hitting, everything looks soreal and obviously Tom Billington coming from you
know those genes, He's gonna workstiff. So it just looked really high
impact the whole match, which Ithought was cool. Oh yeah, he
was. The moves he was doing, they were like it brought took me
back because I kept waiting the wholetime. I'm like, where's the head
butt? Yeah, and I'm like, and where's and don't do it too
(07:55):
often, don't do that exactly.Want stand listening to the race like some
snapsouplexes. It was really cool.Oh, it's very cool. It's good
ship. Next up we got theBang Bang Gang. That's Austin Gun,
Colton Gun and Truce Robinson. Uhmissing, I guess I'm not going to
let him do the free bird freebird rules here, No freebird rule missing
(08:18):
is Jay whyatt We're gonna get tothat in a second. Uh. They're
taking on London Lightning Sean Moore andI'm not kidding. A guy named Michael
Allan Richard Clark. Yeah, that'sthat's a name though. That's going to
stick around. Michael Alan Richard Clark. That motherfucker has foreign how dare you?
(08:39):
Yeah, he's like going to behere for a while he's like a
super hyphen it. Yeah. I'mlike, bro, you just take every
name of every man in your familyand just be like, that's my wrestling
name. I can I can saythat this this trio wasn't exactly a household
name. Maybe maybe locally up there, but yeah, yeah, yeah,
(09:01):
this was this was something they getthe shit kicked out of them. The
Guns and Juice Robinson went in abouttwo minutes. The big story here is
the postmatch. Colton Gun grabs themic and is like, Christian Cage hurt
j White, but it's okay.Juice Robinson is going to take over U.
Christopher Daniels comes out there and he'slike, hey, the injury is
(09:22):
going to make us strip the BangBang Gang of the Trios titles. The
Patriarchy comes out obviously, Christian Cageis like, yo, those are ours,
because you know we heard them.Chrisopher Daniel's like, now you guys
are gonna have a match, souh, they'll see him down the road.
They don't really announce when the matchis going to be, but they're
going to fight for the trios title. Maybe it'll be at all In in
(09:45):
London. We'll see that's what Ithink, yeah, what do you think
of them stripping them of the titles? I don't know. I prefer the
free bird rule, but yeah,that's just me. But it's okay.
I mean, yeah, they're justdoing their own thing. Yeah, okay,
(10:07):
Brendan, any thoughts on this one. I mean I think that it
was a good opener. I knowthat more recently I've been a little harsh
on the opening and how I feellike, you know, sometimes it's kind
of like they have the feelings ofjust like, oh, it's just another
episode, let's just open it.And sometimes it's like, oh, this
(10:30):
is actually like an opener, AndI think this one kind of fell more
in lince with Okay, this isthere was time and effort put into this
and you know all that. Somy thoughts are, I was very pleased
with what it opened up. Goodgood. Yeah, Collision Collisions ran into
the problem post last or pre lastweek of seeming like a B show,
and I think they are doing abetter job of making it feel like maybe
(10:58):
a B plus show. Yeah,you know, maybe not an A show,
but it'll be plus show. Uh. They do recap Jack Perry beating
up his old friend Marco Stunt,who's very short. Uh, A House
of black cuts a promo and they'relike, starting next week. I love
that. They're like, it's likewhen you want to go on a diet,
You're like, starting Monday, we'rereally gonna start heading toy. They're
(11:22):
like, starting next week, we'regonna bring in our journey to Wembley Stadium.
They're like, not this week,but we're next week we're gonna start.
I was like, I've been thereso many times. Man, I'm
gonna start eating better on Monday.A video of Jeff Jair and doctor Martha
Hart is shown as they were backstagthis past Wednesday. Then we get into
(11:46):
Roderck Strong taking on Dalton Castle andI gotta say roder Strong gets the win
here, but Dalton Castle is criminallyunderrated. Oh he's so good. Yeah,
what a great fucking match this was. It was It was. It
was just back and forth. Itwas a lot better than I even I
anticipated, because I kind of thoughtthey were just gonna steamroll over him,
(12:07):
right because he got squashed a coupleof weeks ago. Yeah, but no,
I guess that he was like,hey, guys, that's not cool,
Like, let me. He musthad a conversation with somebody where he's
like, hello, the guy oneof his I can't remember the guys he
comes out with, but one ofthose dudes looks like Kmart Scott Norton completely
(12:33):
completely. I was like, where'sIce ice Train going to come out with
him? Ice Train? Yeah?This was uh, this is this is
good ship. Uh Don Castle,very flamboyant Brendan. He's bringing the Beyonce
(12:54):
vibes that you're always kind of lookingfor. What do you think of that?
I was about to say, I'mlike, I'm mean, his outfits
are definitely something he it's very muchlike you would have reminded me of Do
you guys know Charo? Do youremember her? Like hell? Yeah,
Yeah, it was very much vibes. Yeah, he is like Charo,
(13:18):
which I'm here for personally. Yeah. I mean, I wish they would
push that guy more. I wishI'd like to see him more on like
Dynamite on the MA like because it'salmost like it's a main roster thing,
although it's not, but yeah,I'd like to see him more in the
up on the upfront of everything.You're so right, Gringo, it's a
main roster gimmick. Yeah, forsure, like that kind of gets Uh.
(13:41):
It's so much better than like FANDOWENGGO, you know what I mean.
It's in that same genre and thatsame niche, but it's so much more
fun. And Doncastle is so muchmore charismatic. Oh yeah, Like and
he just he looks like he whenhe goes into the ring he's fighting.
Like when Johnny Kerr to Who's Fandangowhen he would wrestle. I was kind
(14:03):
of like, okay, whatever,But Dalton Castle, man, that guy
just looks like he could tear youup if he wanted to. You know
what I mean. He's a beefydude. Yeah he is. He's not
starting that diet on Monday nights,and god damn it, we don't want
you to. So next up,Mark Brisco cuts a promo from his house.
(14:30):
Uh, he's like, bro,what's up? Uh, Mark Briskow.
I love that they're kind of MarkBrisco is like mister a w now
yeah, which I think is great. And Robert Strong and Mark Brisco are
going to wrestle at Death before dishonorat a ring of honor, which should
be great. Again, it's weirdto have ring of honor stuff being set
(14:54):
up on AW television. But we'rejust gonna we're just gonna tellble that.
See. I always thought that thatMark Brisco should have been on the AW
roster from when he when they firstcame there, like instead of him shuffling
over the Ring of Honor, becauseI mean a Ring of honor, it's
one of those things where it's likeyou have to get a separate subscription stuff
to watch it, right, AndMark Brisco is just so charismatic he should
(15:18):
be in the forefront of everything.So I never really understood why they didn't
just put him on the AW roster, right, Yeah, And he,
like Mark Brisco is the kind ofguy that will make you click over,
Like he's that charismatic where you're like, I need to see what this crazy
(15:39):
fuck is gonna do. You know, He's definitely that guy. I love
that they were shooting in his barnand you could just and I was looking
at I was telling my wife shewas watching it with me, and I'm
like, they're actually shooting that inhis barn. There's like birds flying around
and on the background, land andall all this stuff. Yeah, Yeah,
I love when they do. Secondit's from Mark Brisco's home because it's
(16:02):
always just very strange. He's livinga life that a lot of people aren't
living, you know what I mean. That gives you like a cut into
it where it's just like this guylives a different kind of way than a
lot of us. We get anothervignette for Hologram h and it appears he
(16:22):
will be making his debut next week. Do you know anything about the sky
Gringo? No, I don't knowanything about it. I know nothing about
it. I haven't even seen anythingreally on the dirt sheets or I don't
read the dirt sheets too much,but occasionally I'll hop into him and I
haven't seen anything. Yeah, I'mjust what do you think? I don't
(16:45):
know who the fuck this guy is? I don't know. Yeah, yeah,
I don't know. Well, we'llfind out soon. Somebody knows.
Leave a comment if you know whothis Hologram character is. It's Jim and
the Holograms, Jim and the holDude. I would be so here for
(17:07):
that all day, Jim and theHolograms taking on Tony Storm and well not
Ria May. At this point,we all saw how that went down.
Uh, LEXI, theare is interviewingStokely and Chris Stallander Stokely. Hathaway says,
uh, Will and Iingale, everythingshe got this year was because of
us and the statlanders like this willnever be over you. Like, man,
(17:32):
that's a threat, that's just areal threat. Yeah, that's just
resonating evil. Yeah. Yeah,she just doesn't want to deal with it.
You know, we didn't mention itlast week, but Willan Nightingale did
a great tribute to owen Hart bywearing the danger onesie last week and the
owen Hart Final. And I justwant to acknowledge how bad asked. I
was good, good on you,Will and I gil we forgot. I
(17:55):
forgot to mention it was in mynotes too, and I forgot to mention
it. So if you if youmissed it last week, I'm acknowledging it
now. Did you call it aonesie onesie? Remembering onesie is good too.
That's a little kay, that's ababy children were He's where he came
(18:17):
out with this romper, you know, yeah, yeah, he came out
came out with a gosh onesie.I'm sorry. Nyla Rose takes on Ava
Lawless in this next one. It'sa squash for Nyla Rose. Uh.
While we're talking Nyla Rose isn't gonnaend up. She challenges Mercedes Monnet,
which we're going to get to ina second. But while we're talking about
(18:37):
the women, I do want tosay Stephanie Bakor signed with the WWE and
she was just on for bidden door. She just wrestled on for bid door
and she signed with w W.And it caused quite a stir because I
guess she's bouncing out on a bunchof bookings. Uh. I thought it
would have been nice. I knowa W was interested in her long term.
(19:00):
She chooses w W. Grengo,do you have any thoughts on that?
Uh? Yeah, I think.I mean that's not the way you
do business. Like, you don'tjust bail on your bookings. That's like
that's like wrestling one oh one rightthere. You don't do that. It's
just not cool. But she's alreadyhad her first match with WWE. Yeah,
it already happened. Yeah they did. They were in Mexico, so
(19:22):
it just kind of worked out.But I don't know, like I think
she I think she's gonna fit inwith WWE really well. I don't think
there's any doubt about that, butI just wish that she wouldn't have uh
did business the way that she did. But you know, whatever, she's
gonna she's gonna be a big star, I think, and uh unfortunate that
she did burn quite a few bridgeson the way out. But yeah,
(19:45):
they're they're gonna they're gonna let hercome back easily if she she decides that.
Uh, WWE is kind of gonnashuffle her in, which I mean
historically WWE has they just shuffle peoplein and give him a top billing.
I guess both promotions do that though, so I mean whatever, Yeah,
we'll see what happens with her.I mean the deck is pretty thick over
(20:06):
there, so pretty easy to getlost in it. We do have an
hour two start and we have arecap of Brian Daniels and winning the Men's
owen Hart Cup. He's taken onSwart, Strickland and Wembley. And then
we have a fun one and hthis was top flight h with the action
is ready kind of hanging out andthen taking off Shane Taylor Promotions. It's
(20:30):
Anthony A. Go Goo and LeeMoriarty. Shane Taylor is with them.
Uh this one was super fun.It did as it like they didn't have
the best chemistry. I didn't think, but no, a lot of high
spots, so many high spots,and Lee Moriarty just looks great every week.
(20:52):
I'm so glad he's on TV more. What were you saying, Brendan,
No, he was like they didn'thave the best chemistry, and I'm
like, nope, oh yeah,yeah they did. You could tell that
they probably haven't spent a lot oftime in the ring with each other.
It might have a lot to dowith Anthony or Go Go being not super
(21:14):
polished at this point. Yeah.I mean I think that was a sleeper
match though, as in like Ididn't think it was going to be all
that great. I mean, Dan'teMartin's great, but uh but I wasn't
really expecting it to be anything,and it turned out to be pretty decent.
I usually I'll like get on myphone or I'll text or something,
but I was actually glued to thematch, so it didn't right. And
(21:34):
I thought moriolrety, he's so impressiveto me, like he can really work.
Yeah yeah, all those guys manand he can connect and you know,
I love Dante Martin and Darius lookedgreat. A Go Go is so
raw, good brawler, but soraw still. But yeah, I didn't
think it was bad. I justthink that they looked a little clumsy with
each other, but uh, it'sstill fun. Yeah. I think maybe
(22:00):
that's how they're using collision a littlebit, because they seem to be putting
a lot of the young greenhorn talenton there to let them wrestle some of
the more veteran wrestlers, just tokind of give them time to see what
it would be like to be ona tele you know, televised crowd and
stuff like that. And there Iguess it seems like they're just using collision
to do that more because I'm seeinga lot of people that don't I don't
(22:22):
normally see, right, I agree, Brendan. Any thoughts on uh these
guys other than the fact that itwas pretty noticeable that they probably haven't haven't
been in the ring a lot witheach other. They haven't. But I
also, I mean, like there'sthe shady side of me that's like that
chemistry is more off than maybe Gagaand Christina aguil Air performed together. But
(22:48):
that being sad, that's a tenyear reference right there. Let's see how
many people get that God that thatbeing sad. I'm here used to see
how kind of builds over time,because you know, it just might mean
it might it might just be oneof those you know, like Nate was
saying, they need to get inthe ring more, they need to be
(23:10):
together more, they need to likeknow more about each other. And so
let's put a pin in this andthen we'll come back in about four months
and discuss. Hey, good call, you know, yeah, because it
could be like listen, you knowthat one of them are just not going
to have the chemistry, but thequestion is which one? So you know,
(23:32):
we can reassess, oh you know, what's going to happen. Oh
yeah, I know that's funny,but yeah, you have that's a very
valid points because yeah, I say, I mean remember when Powerhouse Hobbs first
showed up, Yeah, and Iwas like, boy, this guy needs
some work. Man, they needto like put him in some I mean
this was early on, like thiswas isn't like any time recent because he's
(23:55):
pretty good now. I was justlike, this dude needs some work.
He can't he's green as hell.He's gonna hurt somebody, right, and
I, you know, I thoughtthe same about Wardlow to it first and
both those guys after being on TV, after working with several of the talents,
they were able to hone their craftand kind of figure it out.
And yeah, I think Brendan's right. I think that's just what they need.
(24:18):
Yeah, so I tend to agreewith that we should mention Shane Taylor
to jump Top Flight after the match, so setting up some future plans for
the Shane Taylor promotions taken on TopFlight with Action Andretti, who just doesn't
even get used anymore. No,he doesn't. Yeah, he's just completely
(24:41):
like they won't allow him in aring. I guess at this point Jericho
put him over and then they justdid nothing with him. I know.
Yeah, it's kind of weird.Lexi Nair interviews Deanna Fraza. Thunder Rosa
interrupts and she's like, yo,bitch, let's wrestle on a lumberjack match
(25:03):
on Saturday. And she's like allright, And then so they're going to
wrestle in Arlington in a lumberjack match. They do pivot about with Lexi and
she's interviewing Nyla Rose and she's gonnawrestle Mercedes Monday on AW Dynamite on Wednesday.
(25:26):
This is a I like this becauseMercedes Monday works with bigger opponents yeah
so well, and Nyla Rose workswith smaller opponents very well. So I
think this is going to be veryfun. It should be. And the
mention that Dynamites the two hundred andfiftieth episode of Dynamite, so they're bringing
in the first ever women's champ totake on the current women's yesh, I
(25:49):
think is really cool. Yeah,we're very cool. I love that idea.
This is a you know, I'vegot to give AW credit. They
featured the women very prominently in this. In this show, we had three
women's matches in the show, whichnever happens. No. The next one
(26:15):
is sky Blue taking on Harley Cameron. Harley's out there with Sorea. I
gotta say sky Blue gets to win, but I was super impressed with Harley
Cameron. She has next to noexperience, she looks like a million bucks,
and she is getting so much betterin the ring. What did you
all think of this one? Grengo, Let's start with you and then I'd
love to get Brendan's thoughts as well. The one thing I noticed about Harley
(26:38):
Camer. Yeah, she is gettinga lot better. Also, that blood
curdling scream, Oh my god,like she did that. At first,
I was like, what the hellwho did that? Because she was she
was when she screamed, she waschoking, you know, she was choking
Nyla or not Nayla? Yeah,I can't remember anyways, sky Blue sky
(27:00):
Blue, that's right, Yeah,she's choking sky Blue and she screams at
her and I'm like, wait,shouldn't this be like sky Blue screams because
I thought it was sky Blue orsomething they're like, And then I was
like, oh my god, noit wasn't. What the hell's going on?
Yeah, this this is a lotof fun. I loved them putting
sky Blue over, but Harley Cameronlooking good and the loss does a lot
(27:21):
for her, I think, especiallylike it's almost like a reward to give
her kind of this kind of matchso late in the show because she's busting
her ass. You can tell,yeah she is, Brenda. What do
you think of this sky Blue takingon o' Harley Cameron? I liked it.
(27:45):
I mean, like I thought itwas good. I think that the
look for both of them amazing.Props to Hearing makeup department if they have
them, because I know that sometimeswrestling they don't. It's up to the
performers, but props to them.Sky Blue ten like, yeah, she's
(28:07):
so good. I love her too, like like the stage persona like it's
giving. Yes, the best shortsin the business is what a lot of
my friends say about sky Blue.Yeah, that's very true. She's not
not hard to look at. Iwill say this after the match. There
is a Learning Tree recap video.Brendan. I don't know if you saw
(28:32):
this, but Chris Jericho murdered SamoJoe last week. I wouldn't call it
a murder. I'd call it ahomicide. Yeah that it's giving me.
There was a full on homicide rightthere. But so ri Ip Joe.
(28:52):
But yeah, Jericho's character as wetalked about last week, Uh, definitely
divisive, but totally working at thispoint, which is awesome. Sky Blue
cuts a promo she challenges the Karashidato a match that's gonna be fun.
Uh, and it's a it's anotherfeud that does not involve a title of
(29:14):
any any kind, which it's interestingwe have this. Uh, the main
event which I gotta be honest,this doesn't feel like a main event of
a of a of a TV showin twenty twenty four. It's un disputed
(29:36):
Kingdom Matt's Haven and Mike Bennett takingon the Conglomeration Kyle O'Reilly and Orange Cassidy
now Orange casting a singles match maybe, but uh, I think the most
interesting thing about this is that trumpBretta basically focks the Conglomeration over Matt's Haven
and Mike Bennett get to win.It's like the power driver for the penfall,
(30:02):
which was gnarly. Uh. RogerStrong tried to get involved tomorrow here
tell my hero she got involved.Uh. It was very schma fantastic at
the end. And then postmatch,Trimperetta jumps O'Riley and uh Cassidy actually hits
Trimperetta with a monkey wrench, which, ol, you can't write this ship
(30:26):
with a monkey wrench. Babyface teamwas kind of like standing tall afterward.
Uh, this was fun for sure, developed a lot of stories. Uh
what'd you think of this one,gringo? What do you think? The
match was awesome? The back andforth, Yeah, like Orange Cassie's always
(30:47):
awesome, Kyle O'Riley is a lotof fun to watch this because of what
his technical approach to wrestling. Ireally enjoy uh And I think it's really
interesting what they're doing with Kyle O'Reillyand Robert and Roddy, and then those
guys didn't want to fight him,so Orange tagged himself in at the beginning,
(31:07):
which was I thought was hilarious.Yeah, completely, And then I
just I'm trying. I'm want toknow what the hell they're doing with this
Kyle O'Reilly thing with roder I knowit's gonna end up in and I it
should end up with Kyle O'Reilly versusRoddy, it should, right, And
I hope that's where they're going withthat. I hope it's not just Alwa's
just going to join them like thatwould be kind of dumb and anti climactic,
(31:30):
but it could still end up beingthat. Don't you have that feeling
in your stomach where you're like,o'riley's just gonna end up going with Roddy
strong and not just speeded Elite,you know, Yeah, it's sitting in
there. I hope not. Yeah, I hope not either, because it
would be so easy to do itthat way, and I hope they kind
of figure out a better way todo it. And poor Orange, like
(31:52):
you just lost another friend. Iknow he can't leave any more friends.
He needs friends. He's got thebig hit bowl e E. I know
he's got that guy. That guy, that guy looks like a maniac.
Brendan, what what were your thoughtson this one? It was fine,
(32:13):
you know, going back to whatyou said of your just being like,
eh, like yeah, it wasgood, but I mean, like,
you know, this show took placein Canada, and it was very Canada,
(32:34):
you know, you know what Imean, like no shade, but
like you know what I mean,it was very much just like, oh,
yeah, I get you. Itwas like, oh, stand guard
for thee. I thought that's whereyou were going to go with it.
Nice. I agree. This mainevent is one there where I was like,
(32:59):
eh, I like the match,but I could have we could have
done this in the middle of theshow probably Yeah you know what I will
Yeah, go ahead, Brendan,No, no, okay, I was
just oh, okay, well,I was saying that. One thing I
want to point out about this ishow awesome Matt Tavan is getting, like
(33:22):
as a worker, like he wasa guy that kind of just I was
like, Eh, this guy's likereal vanilla, like there's nothing to him.
And now I watch this guy andI actually really like Mike Bennetts still
kind of vanilla a little bit,but Matt Tavan is really starting to stand
out for me, which is weirdbecause I think Mike Bennett's been around a
lot longer. He's got the name, definitely has more name recognized recognition at
(33:45):
this point. But yeah, Iwould agree with you. And you know,
they all can work. All theguys can work, and I guess
they are. I mean, therewas good crowd reactions during the match,
so uh, you know, eventuallythis is going to lead to either O'Reilly
taking on Roddy Strong or or turningon Orange cast say, and I hope
(34:07):
it's not the latter. So well, well we'll see what happens there.
But that was the main event.We made it through aw collision. Listen.
Not every week is going to belike a ten out of ten,
you know, right, And lastweek was so good that I can't find
myself compare to comparing it, youknow. Yeah, so we'll rate it
(34:32):
on its own volition. Also,we're gonna rate it on Monkey Wrenches,
because why wouldn't we, So we'regonna do one to five. I'm gonna
we'll start with Gringo and then Brendan, I'll say, and then I have
my notes from Diana that I willread. Okay, Okay, I'm gonna
(34:55):
give it three and a half monkeyWrenches because fair. Well, because like
because seeing Dynamite, you know,Dynamite Kid Tommy Billington was really cool and
that match was a banger. Andalso I thought the main event was really
really good too. I wasn't like, oh my god, I like this
is the greatest you know, seventeenstar Meltzer match or something like that,
(35:16):
but but I thought it was prettygood. It was entertaining, so and
the matches were in and also thematch with uh you know Top Flight and
and and Shane Uhan Taylor Jane TaylorProductions. Yeah, that was a great
match too. They were just solidmatches and but it wasn't anything to write
home about. So I'll give itthree and a half. I think three
(35:37):
and a half is fair. Brendan, What you got, Nate? Why
are you so nice? I don'tknow. It's probably because I'm I don't
know why I thought it was beingwas trying to be nice. I don't
rest of them. This show wasgiving two and a half. We started
off well, but they lost thefucking momentum. Like I mean, I
don't get it. Like it's likethe same notes I've been giving for months
(36:00):
on it and the years years twoyears now on end. It's like I
get it that Collision used to bemy favorite, but like as Tyra Banks
would say, we were all rootingfor you, and I mean, like
it was giving five. Like Iget it that it's in Canada, but
we don't have This is like ageneric Kylemark movie, Like you need to
(36:21):
be giving, like they filmed Repo, the Genetic Operating Canada. Give me
that energy. Don't give me Hallmarkenergy with this one night. Those are
my thoughts. Hey, yeah,it's so wild, all right. Uh.
I think that's good, really good. I'm gonna go with three and
a half. I found enough redeemingqualities in it. Uh. And I'm
(36:44):
trying not to rate it against lastweek's banger episode of Collision, but I
liked more than I did, andso I think three and a half Mocky
Ranchsel we'll do. Diana gave itfour mocky ranch and uh, she didn't
really she didn't really go on aboutmuch, but she does have some details
(37:07):
for her awards. So let's goahead and go to first things first.
The John Holmes Stick of the Week. Wait, the ghosts gave it four.
Uh loves he still has family upin Calgary. Is it just a
family? I'm a little curious aboutthis. Yeah, I mean it's third
and fourth cousins. Uh, theynever made out or anything. Is this
(37:31):
the ghost from Mike Tyson's mysteries?This might be, it might there might
be one on the same Uh.So we do have the John Holmestick of
the Week. Who who are yougonna go with? Gringo? I'm gonna
go with Trumperetta. Yeah you kindof have to. Uh yeah, he
(37:52):
was a pretty obvious choice for meas far as I'm concerned, and he
is injured for real, but alsolike fuck him for what he did.
Yeah, that's real shitty, dude. If you're listening to this, you're
a dick. You're a dick.Bro Brendan, who I know, I
agree, I agree, Yeah,it's I had a feeling this is gonna
(38:15):
be unanimous against Trent. Diane alsopicked Trent. Uh, and so that's
four for Trent a real dick.It means he's a huge dick. We
we do have the Dewey Riley heroof the week? Uh, who are
who are you gonna go with?Grengo? Oh god, this is a
(38:37):
really tough one. I'm gonna gowith uh, Tommy Billington for for that
fight man keeping up with Takesha.Holy ship, I can tell you I
think that's a That's a great choice. Brendan, who do you got?
I like Takeshta. Stop stealing mychoices. This is why I need to
go first. Well you went withTommy Tommy Billick, so you guys actually
(39:00):
had opposite ends, but I thinkthey're both heroic. I think it makes
sense day to go. Thanks Kesha. Takesha is a hero in his native
land and in our hearts. Butalso his name is just like fun to
say, and like here, I'llgive you the the crazy Madonna reference you
always wanted. There's like a remixof Hung Up with this singer named Toshika.
(39:23):
So every time I say like Takeshta, I'm like, oh my god,
it's like the beginning of the remixsong that that's content you do not
get another podcasts Uh. I actuallyam gonna go with FTR for coming out
and saving Tommy Billington. Nice,Diana will with Dalton Castle for existing.
(39:52):
I think it's great. Honorable mentionto the new Dynamite Kid and FTR uh
and cowboy hat off to the Iand my kid for standing up to Perma
diict Don Callas true true nice.Uh Freddy versus Showdown or or Match of
the Week. Uh, what dowe got for this one? Gringo.
(40:15):
I'm gonna go with Takeshta and TommyBillington because I would match was awesome,
really good. Yeah. I likedit too, Brendan, you got thoughts.
Next question, he's taking the pats, all right, that's cool,
that's fair. I'm gonna go withit. I'm gonna go with I'm gonna
(40:37):
I'm gonna go with the opener aswell. To Keshton. It's actually the
opener. I just wanted to say. Next question. I loved it.
I loved it. I was like, you know, Brandon, don't want
to answer this one. I'm gonnamake him. He's very conflicted so much.
(41:01):
Diana well with the main event,which is fair. It was good.
Yeah, it was good, alot of fun. There's a couple
of bangers and here little mini bangers. In my opinion, yeah nothing.
That was like Dynamite's Hangman versus Danielsonmatch. But you know, you're not
ever going to have that every week. So all right, So we gave
(41:22):
out some awards. At this point, we're going to promote what we got.
We got to promote Brendon. Let'sstart with you. We haven't talked
in a bit. What's going onin Brenda Petrizzo's land. You have anything
you can share, absolutely, So. I am actually in the middle of
producing two different movies back to back. One of them I know one's going
(41:44):
to come out in September. Itis a fantasy film, but it's more
of like fantasy, a little bitof horror in there. We're gonna sprinkle
some stuff in as of right now, we're going to have a little bit
of Italian influence on the zombies init. Nice that can change, but
like you know, we have that. And then there's another film that'll be
out probably December January, which I'llbe producing right after in the Wonderful Country
(42:07):
of Australia and then right after thatI am back in Ireland and England.
So it is a lot of travel. It's been traveling around the world and
I wish the paychecks, you know, reflected that, but they definitely don't.
(42:30):
But I've just been working NonStop,RelA relatable content there, you know
how it is. Nate, how'sthe film you're doing, because I know
you're working on stuff. Oh well, I've got the show. I've got

and the premieeres on September first,as long as I can get the edit
(42:52):
done on time. I have myother movie, but that's I have a
script I wrote, but that's thething I'll discuss at a different time.
