Speaker 1 (00:01):
Card for aw Revolution is shaping up very nicely, and
we now know who will be challenging Kenoski Takeshta for
the International Championship. It's gonna be Kenny Omega, of course,
but we didn't know coming into tonight's show who would
be defending the title against Kenny Omega, because you see,
these two men were competing for the right to find

(00:21):
out who would get to meet Kenny at Revolution. And
if that feels asked backwards, it's because it is. But
the card for Revolution, like I said, shaping up very nicely.
And if you came into this show tonight thinking that
Orange Cassidy might just be able to pull it off
and Orange Cassidy might be able to punch his ticket

(00:42):
to Revolution and challenge Kenny Omega, well you're an idiot.
I don't even think Orange Cassidy's own family thought that
he had a shot of walking out of this show
tonight with that championship, and he didn't. But these two
guys went out there and they had a fucking great
main event on this show. You can't hate on this match.

(01:02):
This was one of the best dynamites. I mean, honestly,
it may have been the best dynam main event of
the year so far, and if it wasn't, it was
certainly one of the best NAM main events that we
have had, So that match was incredible. We also on
this show tonight had the official announcement that at Revolution
we're gonna get the match, a rematch between Schwartz, Strickland
and Ricochet. But Prince Nana had a very interesting proposition

(01:25):
for this match, a little stipulation of sorts that was
attached to the match. That makes things a little more
interesting because when this segment was over on this show tonight,
I only had one thought on my mind as far
as where this appears to be headed. So we'll talk
about that segment. And John Moxley, the AW World Champion,

(01:49):
is heading into Revolution all alone. It seems every week
we see this guy come out and he's got Marina Shaffir,
and he's got Claudio Castignoli, and he's got wheel fucking Yuda,
and he's got Pack. When Pack decides to show up,
Pack's been taken out. Marina Shaffir tonight taken out, Claudio
taken out. It looks right now like Moxley is going

(02:12):
to be the underdog going into Revolution, and he may
not have anybody there to watch his back, which would
be a little bit different for a death rider's match
instead of getting the usual bullshit interference that we got.
That would be kind of nice. But they really want
you to believe that Adam Copeland is going to walk
out of LA with the AW World Championship. I don't
necessarily subscribe to that theory, but I tell you one

(02:35):
thing right now. If there is anybody who would be
one hundred percent in favor of whatever finish, whatever it
may be, he could slip on a banana peel, as
long as the AW World title comes off of John Moxley,
I would be in favor of that finish. I'd be
okay with it. I don't necessarily think it's going to happen,

(02:58):
but they're stacking the deck against him now in a
way that they haven't done before going into the pay
per view. I would say as far as this week's show,
you know, while not as good as some of the
other shows they've had recently, I did think that it
was a solid show. We had a fun trios match
on this show. We had a tremendous main event, as
I mentioned, with Orange Cassidy and Takeshta and we had

(03:20):
some new matches made official for the pay per views.
So let's get into it. This is your aw Dynamite review.
It is Wednesday, February twenty six, twenty and twenty five.
I am the Solemn Monster. Like and subscribe. Super chats
are open. We have a goal set in the chat
for a possible bonus round of be the Booker, which

(03:41):
we had our regular goal. We will do at the
end of this stream. So thank you everybody who has
dropped one so far, and again if you want to
do that, we'll be reading those a little bit later
on in the stream. Dynamite came on the air tonight
lots of Pyro and we had ex Caliber on commentary
welcoming us. He is very quickly cut off and we
cut to the back and there it because we hear

(04:02):
the sirens and there is an ambulance in the back
and the doors swing open and inside the ambulance is
Adam Copeland and he says he wanted to give the
Death Riders a preview of their ride tonight. So then
we go back to ringside. It's Tony Schavani, it's ex Caliber,
it's Taz. They're running down the card. We got a
pre recorded video of MJF and he is laying on

(04:26):
a table, not sure at first where he is exactly,
but then it becomes clear he's getting laser tattoo removal.
Remember that tattoo that he supposedly got on his lower
leg bet on yourself with the AW logo. Well he
is getting it lasered off as he is speaking to us.

(04:48):
Said that it was the biggest mistake of his life,
and so he is getting rid of it. Something he
got for the fans, and he watched on as hypocrites
every week they chant cowboys shit when he is literally
given them an arm and a leg, says the fans
witnessed the best to ever do it in real time,
and they choose hangman. So now he's focusing on the

(05:10):
three most important letters, the only letters that matter, he says,
which are MJF. So we have a truck that arrives
at the ors whatever, some kind of vehicle arrives at
the arena, and it's got giant bullhorns on the front
of it. I said, oh boy, JBL has arrived here.
But he's everywhere. This guy, he's in TNA, he's in Mexico.

(05:31):
He's in WWE. Now he's showing up to Dynamite. Thankfully
it was not JBL. It was Hangman Adam Page who
gets out of the car and he power walks through
the backstage area makes his way to the ring for
the opening match against I mean, there's some stiff competition
here that they put him in the ring with on
this show, Aaron Solo, Hangman Page against Aaron Solo. Bell

(05:57):
sounds and Hangman fires off big boot. Solo floated over
into an attack and hit a quarkscrew kick, but he
missed the follow up clothesline that allowed Hangman to catch
him with a lariat and then the buckshot lariat. The
only lariot that matters here. You've caught him with a
buckshot lariot. And that was it sixty seven maybe not

(06:18):
even maybe this one fifty five, I don't know. I
mean it was right around a minute if that that
This match went. So then Hangman grabs a chair, grabs
a microphone, and he sets the chair up in the ring,
takes a seat, and he says that there are three things.
Actually he was standing first, but he said there are
three things that he hates in this world. Number one,

(06:40):
cmpunk number two. He said, running out of biscuits, all right,
so maybe he didn't say number one, but you know
he was thinking. He said running out of biscuits number two.
English Ivy. Now I wasn't even sure exactly what he
was talking about here, but evidently if you follow him
on Blue Sky, because I guess he's active on there,

(07:03):
he's no longer active elsewhere. But he's a big plant connoisseur,
really big into plants. And apparently, and I didn't know this,
but English ivy suffocates plants in trees. It's like it's
a very invasive species. I guess it sounds pretty wild, actually,

(07:23):
So he hates English ivy. And he also hates when
a little bitch with a leaky spray tan spits in
his face, which is what MJF did to him last week.
So he's gonna sit here and wait until somebody finds
MJF and drags him to the ring to suffer the
ass beating of a lifetime. MJF makes his way out,

(07:44):
they play his music. He didn't have to send anybody
to go get him because there he was. And MJF
comes out on stage and he's wiping his hands. His
hands are all bloody, and he's wiping his hands on
this towel, his bloody towel, and he throws it aside,
and he says he's not fighting him right now. He

(08:06):
calls Hangman a heartless maniac and then sarcastically said that
he wasn't even sure he had a prayer against him.
Revolution a week from Sunday, So he's going to go
home to the greatest place on Earth, Long Island, New York,
and he's going to begin training for his match. He
then pretended to go walk to the back, but then
he stopped and he turned back, and he turned back

(08:27):
to tell Hangman, you know, you may want to go
check on your friend, because he was worried about him
and a show on screen. Christopher Daniels. Christopher Daniels is
sitting on the ground up against one of those equipment cases.
In the back, he's covered in blood. Okay, from the forehead,

(08:50):
he is covered in blood. The problem with this is
that as they cut to Christopher Daniels in the back,
he was literally punching himself in the head. Okay, this
this was him, Okay, this was him. He was punching
himself in the head. Okay, believe me, I've watched plenty
of episodes of Dynamite over the last six months, and
that made me want to go like this, So this

(09:12):
was Christopher Danigels and they show him on camera punching himself,
trying to get the wound to gush. Even more so,
I'm assuming they shot this, they shot this live, but
even still, like, how the fuck does something like that
even happen? Like, they cut to the back, and I'm
expecting this guy's gonna be laid out. This guy's he's
gonna be, you know, possibly covered in blood, but he's

(09:33):
gonna be sprawled out or something. They cut to the
back and he's punching himself in the head. They should
put him in a padded room. But yes, he is
covered in blood. Obviously MJF did something to him beforehand.
So hangman grabs the chair and he heads to the
back and he's searching for well, he's searching for MJF,
but also he's searching for Christopher Daniels. And so as

(09:58):
if that wasn't bad enough, Okay, as if as if
the moment that I just described to you wasn't funny enough,
and honestly embarrassing enough. He finds Christopher Daniels, who is
still seating or sitting rather in the same position that
he was in. He's sitting there, covered in blood. Nobody
is around him, and Hangman goes over to him and

(10:20):
kneels down, and then he looks at someone off camera
and says help him, and two medical technicians rush into
like immediately, they rush into camera view with a towel
to assist Christopher Daniels. So we are led to believe
that the entire time that he was sitting back there
punching himself, but sitting there bleeding, possibly to death, nobody

(10:45):
bothered to come over and help this man. You had
two medics standing right there. What were they doing? Were
they just staring at him hoping that the bleeding would
stop on its own. Hey, Hangman's looking up like, would
you fucking help this guy? And here they are. They
rush over and they help Christopher Daniels. I have no words.

(11:07):
I have no words to explain any of this. It
was completely ridiculous, completely ridiculous, But that was how the
segment went. That whole thing was fucking stupid. Okay, the
part that I just described that and him punching himself
in the head. Were I mean, seriously, that was amateur
hour bullshit. As far as the angle itself, you know,

(11:27):
the squash match and then what MJF did to Daniels,
like the idea of what they were going for here,
I thought that was fine. The angle was fine, but
my goodness, I'm looking forward to the match. I mean,
that's probably the match I'm most looking forward to, honestly
on the paper, well that in the cage match. Actually
there's a lot of matches on that card I'm looking

(11:48):
forward to, but this is one of them. But yeah,
that was some of that stuff here was not good.
So in the arena they have the Kallous family. They're
shown up in one of the luxury boxes. Don caallis
he put a bounty on the head of Will Osprey,
who will face the bounty hunter Brian Keith. Here tonight

(12:09):
on this show, we got highlights of Chris Jericho successfully
defending his Ring of Honor World championship against Bandido. I
did not see that match, yet I was told that
apparently it was one of the better Chris Jericho matches
in a very long time, which doesn't surprise me because
it's Bandido, and Bandido is fucking awesome. But Chris Jericho
was successful in retaining his title. I don't know if

(12:31):
that means that that is the end of Bendido's quest
for the ROH title or if they did the finish
in a way to necessitate a rematch. Again, I haven't
seen it yet, but Jericho now is there live backstage.
Renee is right outside of his locker room to interview him,
and she congratulates him on a successful defense. Jericho said
that he knows she's there because of how poorly she

(12:53):
treated him. She's feeling badly, but the way that she
treated him in their segment last week, and she questions
how Erico got involved in this whole will Osprey situation.
So at that point, Don Callus walks out of Jericho's
dressing room as Mark Davis with him, and he calls
Osprey a degenerate piece of garbage, and Callus said that
Jericho assured him that he has a solution to his

(13:16):
will Ospray problem, and Jericho has a bounty hunter at
his disposal, and said that Brian Keith has what it
takes to be a champion in aaw and he has
what it takes to beat will Ospray. Well, we shall see,
because up next it was will Ospray one on one
with the bounty Hunter Brian Keith. Not a lot of

(13:38):
drama to this, but they had a good match, actually
one of the better showings that I've seen so far
with Brian Keith. He's had some good matches, but this
was probably one of the better ones he's had. In
aw Osprey managed his Thundog Millionaire, followed with an oscutter,
only got a near fall out of it. He stared
down Don Callus and Kyle Fletcher. Then they're up in

(13:58):
the box. Okay, they're not at ringside, but he's looking
up at them, and that distraction allowed Keith to hit
a nie strike the Emerald Tiger Driver connects for a
two count. Keith went forward again. Osprey, though, rolled through
into a styles clash and connected with a hidden blade
for the one two combo, and that was enough to
give will Ospray the win here in this match. Now,

(14:20):
when it was over, Callous and Fletcher they dared Osprey
to come meet them upstairs, and Osprey's like, okay, so
he leaves the ring. Everybody starts cheering, gets into the crowd.
Kyle Fletcher comes down, he meets him halfway, so they
meet up on the stairs and the crowd. They start
going at it, and of course they end up getting separated.
The fans are chanting let them fight. The fans were

(14:42):
into this and they wanted them to let this brawl
go on, but they, like I said, separated them. So
Osprey celebrated with the fans and Fletcher stormed off. The
fans were super into it when the two of them brawled,
and this all leads to a cage match. Now at Revolution,
it's all a matter of you know, which which direction

(15:02):
do you think they should go with this? Because will
Ospray is somebody who should be built up for bigger
and better things. Kyle Fletcher is someone who I think
they have largely handled very well so far. I think
they've created a star in Kyle Fletcher. How big his
star can shine remains to be seen. Really, a lot
of it depends on how Tony Kahan continues to book him.

(15:23):
You know, here in twenty twenty five, and you know
ultimately where he ends up in the future. But they've
done well right not perfect, go back to the Continental class.
It can say that maybe he should have gone further
than he did, But I think by and large they've
done well by Kyle Fletcher. And so would he benefit
from beating Will Ospray in a cage match on a

(15:44):
pay per view? Yeah, of course he would. Is it
the right move to make? Though? Right, they're coming into
this one win apiece. Ospray is the bigger star of
the two, so there's an argument to be made Ospray
should go over. Fletcher can go out there and have
the match of a lifetime, but Osprey should win. On
the other hand, this would be the biggest win of

(16:06):
Kyle Fletcher's career. If he goes out there and you
know he's gonna do something. There's gonna be some kind
of crazy stunt, at least one from probably both these guys,
but at least Fletcher. Now he's gonna want to go
out there and leave it all on the line. If
he goes out there and he has the performance of
a lifetime and these two guys tear the house down,
but he loses, you know, I don't think Kyle Fletcher

(16:26):
loses anything in defeat if it's done the right way.
So I don't want to get into predictions. Yeah, that'll
be for next week, but very interesting because you can
make an argument for either of these men honestly coming
out with a win in that cage match. They are
at a Momo Watanabe highlight video showing her time in

(16:47):
stardom as well as her winning the International four Way
back at wrestled Dynasty at the beginning of this year.
By virtue of that win, of course, she earned the
right to challenge for whatever championship she wants to challenge
for in any promotion, and she has made her choice.
Her choice is the Internation or is the TBS title. Hey,

(17:11):
Momo and Takesha would probably be a good match too.
The TVs title is her choice. She's made that very
clear recently. She wants to wrestle Mercedes Monet. So, speaking
of which, we see Mercedes Monet live backstage, coming out
of her locker room, and she has all of her belts,
and she said that Momo made a big mistake choosing her,

(17:32):
and she was asking if Momo would even show up tonight,
when all of a sudden, Billy Starks walks into the
shot from a Ring of Honor. Ring of Honor is
Billy Starks is on dynamite as Atheno weeps, So Mercedes
called her kid, and then she had a drink in
her hand. It might have been water slapped the drink

(17:52):
out of her hand. Starks asks who the hell she
thinks she is, and Mercedes starts to run down all
of her nicknames until Billy says, you forgot one narcissistic bitch.
So she reintroduced herself and said that Mercedes should watch
her back. And she said this because Momo Wadanabe is

(18:12):
all of a sudden behind Mercedes and she has a
baseball bat and Mercedes does not know this. So Mercedes
turns around and she ducks out of the way in
the nick of time from baseball bat shot and Mercedes disappears.
She dropped her TBS title though as she fled, so
Momo picked up the belt and said bye bye money

(18:34):
Train at Revolution. So Billy Starks can appear on aw television,
but Athena remains in witness protection. Seems a little unfair
to me. We had the Outrunners against the Murder Machines
Lance Archer and Brian Cage. Before the match, we saw

(18:56):
some footage This was actually pretty cool of the Outrunners
making sports Center when they made a pregame, Pep talk
to the Omaha men's basketball team and ex Caliber said,
and I believe this is a shoot. He said that
he had a thanked Taz for waking him up at
one o'clock in the morning to let him know, Hey,
the outrunners are on Sports Center, so apparently that was

(19:17):
something that they were all celebrating. So the murder Machines
took control. Heading into the break, they come back, fans
are chanting for truth. Magdum Cage tagged in but missed
a bunch of charges and that allowed Magnum to hit
a jawbreaker and he sidesteps Archer and he makes the
hot tag to Turbo Floyd, who ran wild Archer flat

(19:38):
and Floyd with a boot. Cage dropped Magdum with a DVD.
Cage and Archer they wanted the power bomb choke slam combo,
but Magnum was able to save his partner. Cage and Magnum.
They fought on the outside. Archer wanted a blackout in
the ring, and we hear the Hurt Syndicates theme song,
and of course, instead of completing the blackout as any

(20:00):
typical heel would do in this situation. What did he do?
He waited too long, he was distracted, and so that
allowed Turbo to wiggle out. He got an O'Connor roll,
and he got the flash pin on Lance Archer and
the Outrunners. They celebrated up the ramp. The Hurt Syndicate
walked out on stage. They were all smiles and they
were sarcastically applauding the Outrunners on their big win. And

(20:24):
of course Archer and Cage were absolutely furious. I'll tell
you what I love more than anything else about this.
I love the fact that even in a match where
they take ninety five percent of it, okay, this was
a dominant match here for the most part for the

(20:44):
Murder Machines, and even in a situation like this, And
of course they've been teasing an upcoming tag team title match.
We don't know when, maybe Revolution, they haven't said, but
they've been teasing a match between the Hurt Syndicate and
the Murder Machines. Even in this situation, Lance Archer still lose, then,
now and forever. This man still goes out there and loses.

(21:08):
And for all we know now, the Outrunners may have
just earned themselves a tag team championship match, or maybe
now it'll be a three way match with all three teams.
It's only fair. Why would Archer and Cage get a
tag team title match after this and not the Outrunners.
If they're gonna do a title match of Revolution, you
gotta have at least the Outrunners in there as well.
Make it a three way it's only fair. I don't

(21:30):
know if they will, but I mean that would certainly
make sense. The thing is, though, you know, as over
as they are, and I find the Outrunners very entertaining.
I think their stick is hilarious, but they're not winning
the tag team titles. So I mean, if they get
a straight up, you know, one on one tag team
title match with Benjamin and Lashley, it's not going to
end well for the Outrunners. You want to stick them

(21:53):
in a three way match. You could have Lance Archer
do the job again as a way to protect the Outrunners,
and maybe that's the way to go about doing it, honestly,
Like the timing just doesn't work unfortunately. Like if it were,
if anybody else had those tag team titles right now,
right almost anybody else, I would say, put the belts
on the Outrunners. Man, these guys are fucking awesome, but

(22:13):
they're on Lashly and Benjamin who just won them, and
they're super over right, you could say the outrunners are over.
So was the Hurt Syndicate maybe more so so. The
timing is just not right for them. If they're going
to involve them, I think a three way might be
the best thing. Honestly, the hell doesn't matter at this point.
If Cage or Archer takes the losing fall, they fucking
lose every week anyway, what difference is it gonna make? None.

(22:38):
We had footage of Adam Copeland's quest to take out
John Moxley. Ever since he lost a Grand Slam Australia,
Copeland has made it his mission to take out the
various members of this faction one by one, and he
started with Pack last week on Collision took two concertos.
Moxley here in the video package said that Cope could

(22:59):
have asked, if you wanted a fight, he could appreciate
someone around here who actually wants to play for keeps.
Claudio then charges in. He says, hats off to Cope,
but it's not him hunting them now, it's Claudio hunting him,
and that led into the next segment, which was Swerve
Strickland out to the ring along with Prince Nana. We

(23:23):
take a break here just to thank you guys for
hanging out with me here on a Wednesday night and
hit that like button. If we get enough, we will
shoot for our be the Booker segment a little bit
later on. We're two hundred and thirty ish likes right now.
We need at least four hundred, minimum four hundred. That's
the goal for that, so you guys can try to

(23:43):
make that happen. Swerve comes to the ring, he's got
Prince Nana with him, and Nana had a contract. Strickland said,
three years ago, he looked Tony Shavanni in his eye.
I remember that night. I forgot what pay per view
it was, might have been all out, but remember when
he was introduced and he got a really good reaction

(24:03):
that night, even when he first showed up. So he
brought us back to the night that he walked out
on that stage and he told Tony Schavani that he
would win the aw World Championship. And he said, it's
very fitting that they're wrapping up Black History Month because
he made black history when he fulfilled his Destiny night

(24:25):
in and night out. He showcased the AW World title
to the world none. I was right when he said
two weeks ago that the AW title it hasn't been
his focus for far too long. He said that he's
still the man around here, and he said he needs
gold around his waist, but he has to right some
wrongs first. And he made it very clear to Ricochet,

(24:47):
we're done when I say we're done. So right on
cue Ricochet's music hits, he struts out. He's still wearing
the embassy robe that he stole from Prince Nana, and
he had a backwards ball cap on. So he asked
if Swerve is just dumb or stupid. So apparently he's

(25:09):
been hanging out with Mercedes a lot lately. Ricochet said,
the winners don't chase losers. And he runs down the
padres and he runs down the chargers Siwer in San
Diego in case you couldn't tell, So he ran the
two teams down. He got great heat for that. He
was getting great heat the moment he walked out. I
don't want to make it seem like he was only
getting good heat because he was healing on the sports teams,

(25:31):
which every heel does. But he's been getting really good heat.
You know, whatever he's doing is working. He's getting under
people's skin, he's getting on their nerves. They don't like him.
They think he's a geek, they think he's an asshole.
Whatever it is. You can't say that this character that
he's portraying is not getting heat. Right, He's out there
doing what he's supposed to do. Is he the best

(25:52):
promo in the world. No, that could be part of
the reason why he gets heat. People don't want to
hear from him. Whatever it is he's doing is working.
It's getting the desired reaction, whether he's healing on sports
teams or not. So Ricochet said that he's going to
be something that Strickland will never be again. In aw
He's going to be a champion, and he turns his

(26:14):
ball cap around to show that it is a Philadelphia
Eagles hat, which of course got him even more heat.
Ricochet denies Strickland's challenge. Right, you get no match, there
will be no rematch, he says. He said, the next
time you see me, I'm gonna have gold around my waist.
And I'm not talking about Louis Vatan. So he's about

(26:36):
ready to leave, and Prince Nana says, Ricochet, hold on
a second, says, you might want to reconsider. He talked
to Tony Kahan earlier today and he agreed that the
fans deserve a rematch. All Ricochet has to do is
except the rematch, and whoever wins that match will become

(26:57):
the number one contender for the A World Heavyweight Championship.
And now Ricochet is conflicted, and you could tell like
he's the gears are going now in his head, gives
credit where credit is due to Prince Nana, and he
realizes all I have to do is whoop him one
more time and I become the number one contender for
the world title. So he accepts, but he says not

(27:20):
tonight because everybody in the arena can't afford my fee.
So we're going to do it in the City of
Angels at Revolution. So Ricochet leaves, Swerve goes to leave
the ring, Prince Nana stops him, and Nana says, look, boss,
hold up, we need to talk. It's never a good

(27:42):
thing when somebody stops you and says, uh, we need
to talk, right, especially if it's your girlfriend, your wife.
But it could be a friend, right, we need to talk.
Nothing good ever comes out of those conversations. So Swerve
comes back into the ring and Nana says, look, I'm
proud that you're taking steps to reclaim the AW World Championship,

(28:07):
but I want you to go back to being who
you used to be. I want you to go back
to being the most dangerous man in AW. He said
that he's taken a lot of bullets for him. Okay,
I've taken a lot of shit for you, and he
reminded him about Hangman Page and sting and the hurt
syndicates right down to Ricochet stealing his robe. His robe

(28:31):
is his legacy. His robe is the most important thing
in the world to him. He needs Swerve to get
that robe back in order to fix his legacy, because
if not, he doesn't know if he can do this anymore.
And with that, Nana drops the microphone and he walks off,
and that leaves Swerve in the ring by himself to
ponder what Prince Nana just told to him. So, first

(28:54):
of all, we have a new match that is now
official for Revolution. So we are getting the rematch between
Swarve Strickland and Ricochet with very high stakes. Now, whether
it has another stipulation or not, we don't know. I
don't know that it really needs one. Now, you know,
the only stipulation that matters is the fact that the
winner of this match is going to become the number
one contender for the aw World title coming out of

(29:17):
this show. Okay, so that's number one. The only thing
I was left thinking when this segment was over is
that Prince Nana is turning on Swarp Strickland. I just
that's what it feels like to me. Ricochet has not
really put his hands on Prince Nana, right, I mean
has he had? I mean maybe he shoved him down, right,

(29:38):
he shoved him down, maybe, but he hasn't like beaten
him up like the Hurt Syndicate. I think they put
Nana on the hurt lock and now Nana has taken
bumps before, but Ricochet hasn't really done anything dastardly to him.
He took his robe away from him, so it's not like, well,
you know, Ricochet has beaten this guy up, and it
really wouldn't make a lot of sense. He really hasn't.

(30:00):
And as much as I love the pairing between Swerve
and Nana, I think they're just their gold together. Would
Ricochet not benefit from having someone like Prince Nana as
part of his act, you know, to be there to
back him up and to you know, just be a
part of everything that he does here in this company,

(30:21):
and maybe even frankly do some of the talking for him.
Not all the time, but maybe, you know, some of
the time. I think that he could absolutely help out Ricochet.
It's not like Swerve needs Nana, Right when I look
at these two guys, Does Swerve Strickland need a manager? No,
does Ricochet need someone with him? I think that he

(30:43):
would definitely benefit from having the services of someone like
Prince Nana at his side. So when I look at
it like that, it makes it a lot easier to
envision a scenario where there's going to be a turn
at the pay per view and Ricochet goes on to
become number one contender. That does not mean the issue

(31:04):
between these two is over right. They would still likely
be another match because Ricochet would win the second one
just like he won the first one. But then both
wins would be under you know, do beous circumstances. The
first time it was a low blow. Was it a mistake?
Was it on purpose, We don't know. And then this
time it would be because Prince Nana provided the assist,

(31:24):
so there would still be an unresolved issue between Ricochet
and Swerve. That feud could continue on. I can't shake
the feeling that they're setting us up for no pun intended.
They're shaking us, Roderick. I know they're setting us up
for a Swerve no pun intended at revolution, And again
it would be a shame because I do think that

(31:45):
the two of them are so great together. But you know, look,
Proc Lesner and Paul Hayman were great together, and they
split them up in two thousand and two to put
Hayman with Big Show. And we could argue about whether
or now that was the best move to make. But
it's not like we haven't seen angles like this before
in wrestling, right, I mean, we've seen it a thousand
fucking times. But in this case, I think Ricochet could

(32:08):
benefit from it, So I might even lean towards that
if it were me, If I were Tony Khan and
I was tempted to do something like that, I think
I would go ahead and pull the trigger on that.

trying to figure out what you're eating for dinner every night.
I know that frustration personally. All Right, what do I want?

hours cooking up something good, but I'm tired of the
same old stuff all the time. Well, you don't need

Now I can tell you. Well, look, I got a
bunch of meals recently. They shipped them to my house,

(33:33):
packed them and packed them. Been real good too, with
the dry ice and everything, the whole deal, to make
sure that everything was fresh before I put it in
my fridge. And there was one meal that I had
in particular. Yeah, I stay away from anything cheesy or
creamy because I just can't have it. But they had
chicken ramen in a shaw U style broth on the

(33:54):
menu that week, with mushrooms and crispy onions, and it
was so good, so good. And they sent me the
box with all the ingredients already inside and a giant
card listing everything out step by step. Here's what to do,
here's when to put this in, which is perfect for
an idiot like me, because I'm sure I would screw
something up without it. But it's all right there for you.

(34:14):
And there was enough there for two people, so you
could even share it with someone else. Or maybe there's
maybe there's some leftover even, right, I mean, I certainly
was not left wanting. More like if you're hungry and
you're worried that you'll still be hungry. I certainly wasn't.
And the whole experience was super easy, and it probably
took me around I would say forty minutes or so. Right.

(34:35):
Some meals take less, some meals may take a little
bit more, but for dinner, it wasn't very long at all.

HelloFresh America's number one meal kit. We go backstage. Renee
caught up with Hangman Page, who said that MJF is gone.
He left the building. Well, when he finds him, if

(35:17):
he doesn't run him over, MJF is going to wish
that he had And with that, Hangman gets back in
his truck and he leaves the arena. So that continues
the bad blood here between these two. We got one
more week to go before Revolution. I don't know what
they're going to do next week, but like I said,
this is one of the matches that I am most

(35:37):
looking forward to on that show. Coming up. On March ninth,
we had a trios match up next. It was Adam Cole,
Roderick Strong, and Kyle O'Reilly representing the Undisputed Kingdom taking
on the team of Daniel Garcia, the TNT Champion and FTR.
A lot of fast paced action, some creative spots here

(35:59):
in this match. Six men. They started brawling out on
the floor. At one point they had shotgun drop kicks,
and there were super kicks and backbreakers on barricades and
tornado DDT's off the apron, Everybody's down. Going into the
commercial break. Back from that break, Roderick Strong is dishing
out a series of backbreakers. See you connecting. It all

(36:24):
connects here, And just as I say that, I notice
over here my phone has just popped up. Backbreaker professional
wrestling move where an opponent's back is forced upon a
body part. Backbreaker refers to a kind of professional wrestling
move which sees a wrestler dropping an opponent so that

(36:45):
the opponent's back impacts or is bent backwards against a
part of the wrestler's body, usually the knee. I was
not planning on reading that to you, but my fucking
phone decided I did that. I needed a Wikipedia description
of a backbreaker, even though I didn't ask for it,

(37:08):
So we will have to get ourselves a new phone.
Kyler Riley, he charges off the apron for a diving
knee to Cash Wheeler. Harwood ended up surrounded and he
got blasted with a whole series of knees. Harwood, though
sent Roddy into Cole and sank in the sharpshooter on Kyle,
who got the ropes. Garcia and Wheeler they reappeared. They

(37:30):
tried a triple sharpshooter, but we ended up getting a
triple small package from the Undisputed Kingdom and all six
men before long were wiped out. We got another reset
here Cole and Garcia. They tagged into the match. Garcia
landed a big lariat, Harwood kicked off a whole chain
of submissions that tied up both members of FTR. Meanwhile,

(37:53):
Garcia went for a pile driver Adam Cole got a
jackknife pin on Garcia and he pinned the TNT champion.
So after the match, Garcia offered a handshake, O'Reilly kicked
his hand away. FTR took exception to this. They shoved
them back. Cole and Garcia they had to separate their

(38:13):
partner's strong spat at Dax Harwood. A lot of spitting
going on here. We had two weeks in a row.
Now if somebody's spitting on the other person here on
this show. And then we were told because these decisions,
I mean, you know, these decisions are made very quickly.
Tony Khan doesn't waste any time. Tony Khan, he mean,
he's right there, He's right there at the go position,

(38:36):
and as soon as the decision needs to be made,
he pipes it into Tony Schavani's ear and we find
out that Tony Khan has made it official. This Saturday
on Collision, it will be Adam Cole challenging Daniel Garcia
for the TNT Championship. All I can say about this
is if you get to pin the champion, then the
person who pins the champion, if it's the non title,

(38:58):
should be next in line first shot at the championship.
So at least they did that. That's sensible at least,
right if they're gonna have Daniel Garcia get pinned on TV,
whoever does that should be next in the line for
a shot at the title. And now we have a
title match. Now. Daniel Garcia has not exactly been doing
a whole hell of a lot in the last month.

(39:19):
This will be his first title defense, by the way,
on dry Land, not counting the Jericho Cruise in about
well by next by this weekend, it'll be a little
over a month. Last time he defended his title was
on Collision. It was actually in a three way match.
It was against Kyle O'Reilly and I think it was

(39:40):
Lee Lee Moriarty. I believe it was that was on Collision.
So this will be his first title official title defense since.
Then we go backstage. Claudia is in the back then
he is searching for Adam Copeland, and he doesn't have
to search for very long because as soon as they
cut to him and we see him kind of snooping around,

(40:00):
here comes Copeland into the camera shot and the two
of them brawl into the arena. They brawl down to
ringside Wheeler Dah shows up and he attacks Copeland from behind,
allowing Claudio to send him into the steel steps. We've
seen Marina Shaffir now is here. Marina Shaffer is watching
on Kaisha couldn't figure it out. This is now the
death Rider's portion of tonight's festivities. Claudio grabs a chair

(40:24):
and he starts wailing Copeland with it. They set Copeland
up for a concerto. Jay White makes his entrance to
even the odds. Copeland recovers and he starts swinging the
chair himself, and he then delivers a spear to Claudio.
Marina Shaffir decides, I'm gonna jump on the back of
Adam Copeland and try to subdue this man. And what

(40:45):
ends up happening is he swings her around and he
moves out of harm's way just in time because Wheeler
Uda is coming in with a busaiku knee and he
misses Copeland and he wipes out Marina Shaffir by accident.
Now Marina Shaffir is down. Copeland then hits Claudio with
a chair multiple times, places him face first down for

(41:07):
a concerto. He delivers the concerto to Claudio. Now we
see John Moxley has appeared at ringside and Jay White
kept him at bay with a chair. Copeland now is
setting up Marina Shaffir for a concerto. Before he could
deliver it, we hear Willow Nightingale's music and I'm just
thinking of myself. I figured they were and they've been

(41:31):
doing some backstage stuff in recent weeks where Willow has
been attacked by Marina, so I wasn't really expecting it,
but you never know, right, It's like, here she comes,
and I'm like, please, don't do this. Please do not
turn Willow Knight. Of all people on this roster, do
not turn Willow Nightingale. Heel. She comes down to the
ring she wants to deliver the concerto, and I'm just like, please,

(41:56):
please don't turn around and hit Copeland in the head
with his fucking chair. She doesn't, and she delivers the
concerto herself. Now, they did have one more segment in
the back later in the show. We see Marina Shaffir
and Claudio being loaded into the ambulance that Copeland was
in at the beginning of the night, and they send
them off to some local medical facility. As Copeland and

(42:19):
Willow basically wave goodbye to them, and j White is
there as well. So the Babyfaces, they finally are left
looking strong, as strong as we've ever seen them, because
now multiple members of the Death Riders have been taken out,
not only taken out, but sent away in the back
of an ambulance. So it's nice for a change to

(42:39):
have the Baby Faces put over, you know, this crew
that strongly. And it looks like right now that John
Moxley is going to be heading into Revolution all by himself.
You know, he may have Wheeler Yudah with him. Actually
he's the one I'm worried about because they always have
him doing the run ins in these fucking pay per
view made events. But Moxley is either going to be

(43:01):
down a few people or down his entire group heading
into the show, which would make in theory, it would
make it a fair fight with Copeland, which you know
would be nice. You know, you get mostly a clean
match out of it until whatever bullshit I'm sure they're
going to do at the finish for that match. You know.
The thing of it is, though, like they did that

(43:22):
finish a Grand Slam where Copeland got choked out and
it was very confusing, to me like, I was not
expecting that Adam Copeland would go to the pay per
view and win the championship, and I'm still really not
But you see that finish and it makes you think, well,
are they just going to have him go to Revolution
and lose again or are they really going to pull

(43:43):
the trigger and do a title change here? But ever
since Grand Slam, Copeland has really been put in a
position to look as strong as they can make him look,
you know, and taking out each member one by one.
So I kind of feel like it was a nice
little reset to put us back to where we thought
we were going to be. Where they want you to

(44:05):
think that Copeland is going to win the title and
he's going to be the savior for AW but in
the end he you know, ultimately he won't be. And
Christian Cage is still running around with that contract now
to go back to the ricochet and the swerve stuff.
If that's a number one contenders match, and coming out
of that match, they're going to challenge for the championship.

(44:26):
I don't know if it'll be on TV. I don't
know if it'll be a dynasty, you know, which is
that first weekend? I believe in April, it would make
more sense if let's say Ricochet wins, that he would
challenge a babyface for the title. Ricochet against John Moxley
is not a match that appeals to me, probably doesn't
appeal to a lot of people. So I actually think

(44:49):
that the finish of the swerve in the Ricochet match
is going to possibly be dependent on who the champion is.
You know, coming out of this show, Christian still has
that world title contract. As I sit here now, am
I expecting that we're going to get Adam Copeland aw
world champion? I'm not. I'm not because now they've swung
things the other way where Moxley, even though he's the champion,

(45:12):
is coming into this match as arguably as the underdog,
and so they want you to really believe that, Okay,
now that it's going to be a fair fight Copeland,
you know, the balls in his court. As far as
winning the championship, I think I still think we're either
looking at a straight up Moxley win or Christian is
going to cash in that contract, but not after the match.

(45:34):
It may be a situation like WrestleMania where both men
are down and he comes out and cash is in
his opportunity to make it a three way and then
Moxley ends up winning. But I don't really see. I mean, yes,
they could have Copeland win and have a five minute run.
It's the same fucking thing they did with the TNT

(45:55):
title and then Christian immediately won it back from him,
So it would be like repeating this same angle they've
already done. But I do think that the outcome of
this match is going to potentially dictate who goes over
in that other match at Revolution. And if I'm wrong
and there is no prins non a heel turn, you

(46:16):
could have Swerve go over clean, and you could do
Swerve and Moxley at the next pay per view. He
could be the next opponent for him, you know, if
they're not quite ready yet to take the title of
Moxley again. I can't stomach the thought of him holding
this fucking belt until July, just to get to Revolution,
or just to get to All In. We could be

(46:36):
looking at that. I think that would be horrendous, But
I said it earlier, man, I mean, whatever it takes,
whatever it takes to get that championship off of him
as quickly as possible, I'm all for I'm all for it.
Hey have Harley Cameron run out there and win the
championship from John Moxley in a fluke. If we could

(46:57):
figure out a way to make it work, I'll listen
to that idea. Yeah, I'm just over it. You know,
the whole Death Riders down over it. I'm over it.
So I'm all ears. Speaking of Harley Cameron, she was
up next one on one against Diana Parrazzo. Good to
see Harley in an actual match here on Dynamite. Tya

(47:19):
Valkyrie was shown watching on backstage. Of course, Taya Deanna
part of their little group Vendetta. I'm starting to think
they have a vendetta with Tony Kahan. It's not hard
to see why. So she was watching backstage. Deanna wanted
her Venus de Milo move early on, Cameron rolled out

(47:41):
tilt the world head scissors from Harley, followed with a
neck breaker, only got her in earfall. Parozzo missed a
corner charge that allowed Harley to go up top, but
she got her legs swept out and Deanna decked her
with a pump kick and then a baseball slide out
to the floor, and that took us into the commercial break.
When they came back, Parazzo try Cameron in a tree
of woe. She managed to kick her way out of it.

(48:04):
Cameron mounted a comeback and got the crowd going, and
she hit a shining Wizard and she wanted a bulldog.
Deanna escaped into a pump kick and a high stacked
power bomb for two. The venus de Milo was briefly applied.
Cameron got a roll up, though for two both women
get to their feet. Cameron hit some it was some
form of an inverted neck breaker, and she got the win.

(48:25):
I don't know if she has a name for it
or not. Obviously that's I assume that's her finish, and
she got the win. And as soon as this match
was over, I just thought to myself, I said, you
know those reports that came out a few weeks ago
that Deanna Pirazzo supposedly being very frustrated with her position
in the company, and she wants to it's not even
the fact that she's not really being featured prominently, but

(48:47):
the way in which she's being featured. She's not happy,
and apparently she's been very vocal about this in the
past behind the scenes, whether it's directly to Tony Kahan
or his intermediaries. I don't know, but this match was
over and I just thought, well, you wanted more TV time,
and you got it. You got more TV time Harley

(49:08):
Cameron has. You could count on one hand the number
of wins that Harley Cameron has in her career and
still have fingers left over. Deanna Parrazzo has now fallen
to Harley Cameron. Feel the wrath. I know that there
are Deanna Parrazzo fans out there who are not happy,

(49:28):
but hey, she signed, she wanted to come to AW
and I mean, I'm not surprised, I'm not shocked. It
is kind of shocking though, if you think about how
she was positioned in TNA and how she felt like
a star. She does not feel like a star at

(49:51):
all in AW and there's been no attempt made to
make her feel that way. It really is very it's
stark when you look at Deanna here and Deanna where
she used to be. The difference is very noticeable. So
I'm sure she is frustrated, but you know what, She's
not the one who's over right now. You know who

(50:12):
is over Harley Cameron. And it was not the right
time for Harley Cameron to win the TBS title in Australia.
But what it is the right time for is to
do exactly what they did with her on this show.
Get her in the ring, and get her in the
ring frankly with people like Mercedes and like Deanna who
are better in ring performers than she is, because Harley

(50:35):
is still green. I mean, she's still rough around the edges.
I wouldn't say this was a great match, but the
only way that she'll get better is by working matches
against people who were better than her. And it's not
like AW is running house shows and she's working tons
of matches every single week. So this is exactly the
sort of thing they need to be doing. And at
the same time, let her rack up some wins and

(50:56):
really build credibility again. Up until recently, she had not
won a single match in two or three years in AW,
so she's behind the eight ball. Now let her start
racking up wins. I'm sorry to all the Deanna Piazzo
fans out there that there may be, but can't argue
with the outcome here. And they closed the show with

(51:22):
My Boy Orange Cassidy one on one with Kenoski Takeshda
for the AAW International Championship. Don Kallis joined on commentary
with his personal protector Mark Davis. Takeshta took off Cassidy's
sunglasses as they came face to face in the ring.
He broke them and he tried to eat them. Cassidy

(51:45):
then reached into his pocket and he pulled out a
backup pear, and this infuriated Takeshda. So after a shoulder block,
Takesha took off the sunglasses. He presented them to Don Kallas,
who put them on. Takeshta dared Cassidy to hit him,
and so we got the slow mow strikes and Takesha
fired off a forearm in response. Cassidy hit the little kicks,

(52:08):
the weak kicks in the corner. Takeshta no sold them.
He tried to suit plex from the apron back inside
Bryce Remsburg, though as he was backing Takeshta away from
a choke in the ropes, Cassidy hit a slingshot DDT.
Cassidy kicked up and played to the crowd. That was
a mistake though, because Takeshta rose up and blasted him

(52:30):
with a forearm shot. So Cassidy avoided the blue thunderbomb.
He floated over. He was trying his spinning DDT Takesha
the block Dick. Cassidy tried his thundog Millionaire and Takesha
countered into a wild blue thunderbomb. This whole sequence really
was great. Cassidy collapsed before Takeshta could hit the pump knee,

(52:54):
so he tried a power bomb, which Cassidy countered, and
he tried for beach break, but both men tumbled. To
the callous left commentary, he was going to try to
get some shots in, but Bryce Remsburg put a stop
to that. Takesha hit a forearm shot Cassidy. At this point,
he goes over and he clears off the announced desk
and he lays on top of it. He dares to

(53:15):
Keshta to fight him, and he puts his hands in
his pockets and so Takeshta obliges, and he wanted a
power bomb, but Cassidy connects on a beach break on
top of the table. And this was as close to
an actual table break as we have gotten in aw because,
as you all know, if you watch this show, and
I remind you every single week, because as ex caliber

(53:38):
has told us before this is a solid oak, announced
desk and solid oak. It don't break. This time it
barely broke the table. It did break, but very very little,
and they both rolled off the table to the floor.
So both men barely broke the count back into the
ring before ten, Takeshta rolled right into an orange punch.

(54:00):
Takesha went back outside. Cassidy hit a suicide tornado DDT.
He walked over to don Kallus. He ripped his sunglasses
off of Callus's head. Cassidy went for a diving DDT
back inside, but Takeshta absolutely blasted him out of mid
air with a forearm shot and he wanted a fire
thunder driver. Cassidy countered into a stun dog millionaire. Cassidy

(54:24):
looked for the home run orange punch to put him away.
Ta Keshta, they'll cut him off one last time. This
time hit the raging fire and he pins orange. Cassidy
to retain the International Championship. One of the best dynamite
main events all year, if not the best dynamite main
event that we have seen so far here in twenty
twenty five. And they went off the air with Takeshta

(54:45):
and Don Kallus celebrating in the ring. No Kenny Omega,
they are saving his comments. We were told for collision
and we do have one more dynamite before Revolution. It
was not really necessary for him to be on the
show because what would he have done. It would have
been a pull up. It's going to walk out on
stage and go bang bang. You know, it's smart to
save him for a collision. And for the people who

(55:07):
want to tune in to see Kenny Omega, you have
to watch collision, otherwise you wait until the go home
show next week. So they went off the air with
Takeshta standing tall. But it is now official the International Champion,
Ladies and gentlemen, the International Champion has earned the right
to challenge Kenny Omega at Revolution. Asked backwards, You bet

(55:33):
very much so. But it's the match that ultimately it
doesn't matter because it was all going to end up
in the same place anyway. Even if they made Kenny
fight for it, he was always going to be Omega
and Takeshta, and that is the match that we are
now going to get at Revolution. Is gonna be a
great fucking match. So I'm looking forward to that, and
it does feel to me like we are quickly approaching

(55:56):
the end of Takeshta's reign. Is the international tri Chion.
I think he's done a phenomenal job every single time
we see him in the ring. It doesn't matter who
it's against. It doesn't matter if it's a singles match,
it doesn't matter if it's a tag team match or
a trios match. He is one of the best in
ring performers in the entire business and has been for

(56:18):
a while, but in the entire world right now is
Kenoski Takeshta, And no matter what happens a revolution, I mean,
he's been on a hell of a run. This guy
has like three or four different contracts right now. He's
got contracts with AW, He's got contracts with New Japan,
He's got contracts with DDT. He's defending his never open
weight title in his CMLL debut this Friday down in Mexico.

(56:42):
This guy's all over the place. He truly is an
international champion, whether he has this belt or not, and
I think it's great. I think it's fantastic. Maple Leaf
pro right, he was in the main event both knights
when Scott Demore ran his first show's last October. He's everywhere.

(57:02):
We need to see more of him. That's a good thing,
because he really is. He is one of the best
in the world right now. And I hope that when
he does lose this championship, let's say he loses it
at Revolution, that you know, they have something for him
to do instead of just being in the background with
the Callus family. Offhand, I don't know what that would be.
I don't think he's going to transition immediately into a

(57:22):
TNT title run, although there could be one in his future.
But whatever it is, hopefully that you know, Tony kinn
knows enough what he has in this man and they
will come up with something meaningful for him to do.
The Christopher Daniels stuff that we saw at the beginning
of the show, that was embarrassing. Honestly, there was no

(57:43):
reason for that to play out in the way that
it did, so that was embarrassing. But I thought that
on the whole, this was a solid episode. Like I
said at the beginning, we had a fun trios match,
we had an excellent main event, and we got some
new matches made for the pay per view, So overall,
I enjoyed the show. Let's take a look at the

(58:05):
Twitter poll. There you go, what did you think of
aw Dynamite for February twenty six fifty percent thumbs up,
fifty point three percent thumbs up, forty nine point seven
percent thumbs down. We almost have a dead heat here.

(58:25):
So yeah, this is the worst poll rating that we
have had for Dynamite in several weeks. Still above fifty percent,
although barely so. You can cast your vote on x
at Solo Monster. That is where you can go to
vote if you would like to do so. I'll tell

(58:52):
you what I would like to do. I'd like to
read your super chats right now and welcome our welcome,
our new friend here to the channel. Welcome buddy. I
hope you're doing well. Razor Thin. That's right, Bliss fan,
Razor Thin margins. There in the Twitter poll, you guys

(59:13):
can help tip the scales one way or the other.
You can go vote right now. Let's take a look
at your messages. We are currently, by the way, at
three hundred and thirty likes, so we are short of
the goal for be the Bookers, So at this moment,
it's not looking good. Honey, deep Fried Chicken starting us

(59:39):
out here, says I have a funny idea for elimination chamber.
Roman reigns brutally attack Seth Rollins and it steals his
spot in the chamber. Ah would who would that be
funny for? Who? I don't think that would be funny

(59:59):
for Seve. Yeah, I don't see that happening. I don't
see that happening, rack Hawk, Just like Johnny Cage said

(01:00:20):
to Goro, Orange wanted to say to Takeshta, those were
five hundred dollars sunglasses, asshole. He did he broke him,
and he put the pieces in his mouth and he
tried to swallow it, and he dropped another ten dollars
super chat towards a round to be the booker. Look,

(01:00:42):
I hope we hit it. We're falling short so far,
but thank you, thank you, brother George sekman Omas needs
to leave WWE and join AEW and win all the
best else, just to show Tonga Loa how it's done.

(01:01:08):
Does he? Though? I think you and I we have
a difference of opinion on that. I'm not so sure.
We need to see that dev To Dust has a
buy or sell, which is the better New York Arena

(01:01:30):
Madison Square Garden or the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum Madison
Square Garden. Get a better crowd there too, usually louder
I've been to both many, many times, going back to
when I was a kid. But I'm gonna go with
the Garden. It's the Garden, man, Come on, it's msg

(01:01:58):
oz inglorious with the five dollars super chet. Dear Tony Khan,
I will gladly pay forty nine to ninety nine a
month to not see Daniel Garcia or Wheeler Dah on
my TV ever again. Stop fucking torturing us with your
make a wish kids. Well, you're gonna get Wheeler Dah

(01:02:24):
and you're gonna like Wheeler Dah because Tony Khan loves
Wheeler Yuda. In fact, you're probably gonna see him in
the main event at the next pay per view. I'm
sure he'll be there, So get ready, Eric Deshaan the
twenty dollars super chat. I feel like Kenoski takesha is

(01:02:45):
ready for bigger and better things after dropping the international title.
Maybe a short run with the world title. What say you? Oh,
he's ready for it? Is he gonna get a short
run with the world title. Absolutely not. I don't see
that happening, not any to soon. Jerome Ugenio, in your opinion,

(01:03:08):
who has the best theme music in AW? At the moment,
I really wish that John Moxley honestly would go back
to his original AW theme. I really liked his original
AW music. St bet he doesn't have it anymore. But

(01:03:32):
I mean at the moment, uh, swerve maybe maybe swerve
MGM ball and decent show. But the Outrunners tag match
was a botch fest. That's what they did back in
the eighties. Brother they watched people didn't worry so much

(01:03:53):
about the botches. Dude, Red Skies, what's that tuxedo? T servo?
Forty two months of channel membership, Shida doing almost daily

(01:04:17):
video game videos while the AW women's division is really
only Tony against Mariah. Make it make sense. I don't
know why she is not doing anything at the moment
Tony and Mariah that was going to wrap up a
revolution as it should. That is the right move. But

(01:04:39):
why she is not doing more? I can't say. I
have no idea. Asked that guy he's hugging Mercedes there
in that super chat scumdog favorite Pokemon Pikachu, that's my favorite.

(01:05:04):
Arabian Knight got a feeling with Moxley all alone at
Revolution that he will bring in a new member to
help him retain, and that's someone is the Walking Weapon.
Josh Alexander. Uh, you know what, I actually could see
him and the Death Riders. You could be onto something there,

(01:05:29):
But I still think we're going to get a Christian
cash and attempt, at least an attempt. Arabian Knight said, Oh,
Arabian Night, I just read yours so good, I had
to read it twice. Face bears Bane emoji for the backbreaker,

(01:05:51):
you got the Yeah, you got it. You got him
in the chat. If you're a channel member, you got
all kinds of emo. You got Gulberg. Let me see
some Gulbergs in the chat. You got that emoji too. Javeli,
channel member for twenty one months, said no, what is

(01:06:14):
Solo's favorite stadium Stampede match? Buy sell or rent On?
Who should have won the Tag Team Championships, Crime Time,
Heavy Machinery or Enzo and Casts. Of the three teams
that you mentioned, Enzo and Casts, they were at their peaks,
they were the most over of those three. They should

(01:06:34):
have had a run. They should have been much bigger
than they were. Favorite stadium Stampede match is probably the
first one oz Glorious prick o'she is great. We need
Samantha managing him. That'd be great, But I think it
may be uh Nana could end up being Prince Nana

(01:06:56):
tux E Doo t Servo. I followed Dianna in impact.
I have no idea who this person is in the
the Dianna skin. Yikes, it really does feel like two
totally different people. I think part of it is she
may she may just feel defeated. Honestly, I mean she's,
you know, got no reason to be excited about what

(01:07:16):
they have her doing at the moment. You blame her
if she lost her spark, you lost her smile. Like
Shawn michaels Eminem, I honestly believe that by the end
of the summer, Dianna will be out of aw and
we'll be at the PC to attack Stephanie Vacuer. If

(01:07:40):
Josh Alexander is all elite, who does he wrestle first? Well,
I mean the idea that was a tuxedo just mentioned,
I could see I could see him being brought in
as a new member of the Death Riders that they
want to keep this shit going. Kiddo, Hudson, how do

(01:08:02):
you feel about Ricky Stark's Ricky Saints rather Ricky Saints'
entrance in NXT? I personally love it. I will let
you know on the podcast this weekend once I have
a chance to go back and watch NXT, which I
still have not had a chance to do yet, but
I am gonna go back and watch it. Todd Warner,

(01:08:25):
thank you for the twenty six months of channel membership.
I appreciate you. Oz again says Takesha has awesome Sega
Genesis style of music. You know what, somebody asked me
about the music before put him on the list too.
I actually like Takesha's music also, I know and the
part that you're talking about, I know exactly what part
of the music you're talking about. It does have a
very video gamy feel to it. His music, I think

(01:08:48):
is great. I think Mikey Ruckus does a very good job.
I wish I could say the same for what we
have in WWE, but it's just unbelievable the quality drop
that there has been there over these last few years.
Alex says, currently dealing with a minor cold. Do you
have any last minute Bold predictions for the elimination chamber potential?

(01:09:11):
Randy Orton return. I laid out all my elimination chamber
predictions on the podcast on Sunday, episode nine oh two.
Bold and otherwise. They're all there for you, and we
talked about it on TNT last night. But check out
episode nine oh two. They're all on there. George says,
which winter month do people sleep the least? February. Oh.

(01:09:38):
I know the month of February very well because it's
always the shortest month. So I have certain goals I
try to hit each month, certain benchmarks I try to
hit each month on YouTube, and February is always the hardest.
Not last year though. Last year was my biggest February
ever because of all the insanity that was going on.

(01:10:00):
It would be amazed at the difference that those two
days that you don't get make. It makes a difference.
The Colonel Tony Kahan wanted to get Starks on the program. Finally,
Tony Kahn wanted to get Starks on the program. Finally,

(01:10:23):
Oh Billy, Okay, he got the wrong one. Though he
got Billy, he already lost Ricky, he got the wrong
starks on the show, Alex says, let's get those likes
up people. Yeah, really, where are we right now? We're

(01:10:46):
not high enough. We're at three ninety three. We're close,
but I am not high enough. We got to go higher.
Thank you for the reminder, Alex Toby is the goal
four hundred or five hundred likes? Tonight? It is four
hundred and we hit our goal. So actually, if we

(01:11:10):
get five more likes, we're gonna do two rounds and
be the booker. This is quite the turnaround here, verbal souls.
Everyone's talking about souls this week by Cell Delete, Triple
H's Reign of Terror, slap Nuts, Early tna or Belt
collector of Hot Dog Indie Belts, Mercedes Monette. Well, I'm

(01:11:41):
I was watching the Reign of Terror, the Triple H
Reign of Terror. I wasn't watching the slap Nuts run
week to week, so it didn't bother me as much
as the Triple H one did because I had to
watch that shit every single week if I wanted to
watch the show. He was the main guy on the show.
He was the champion on the show. I'm still gonna
go Triple H. Forget the rest. We just put Triple

(01:12:05):
H right at the top of the list. That's what
we can do. Eric the Shawan, thank you very much
for the ten dollars super chat. The Juliet says Carrying
Cross will be wrestling at the Chris Bay benefit show
on March twenty third. Yes, I believe that is with
Is it in Vegas? I think it's Future Stars of Wrestling.

(01:12:26):
He is wrestling on that indie show, that is true.
M and M says, we want double B the Booker. Well,
we got it, we got it, So congrats to you guy.
I think we got We need some applause here for this.
We have hit both goals. We have hit both goals.

(01:12:49):
So we're going to be doing two rounds tonight of
be the Booker. How exciting. But we also want Athena
against Mercedes. It all in because it's all about the
money and rest in peace to Harriet the Spy. Michelle Trachtenberg.

(01:13:11):
I did see that today. It's kind of eerie. I
watched euro Trip a few months ago. I hadn't seen
that movie in years, and I just so happened to
watch it. Don't remember where I even saw it, but yeah,
it's very sad, very sad, only thirty nine years old.

(01:13:37):
Arabian Nights Swerve in mox At Dynasty, same event that
Swerve won a year ago. It would make sense. It's
alrighty beat Samoa, Joe and b com C. Clearly, should
Speedball win the TNT title from Cole or Garcia, which
one and Josh would breathe the new blood into the

(01:14:00):
death Riders and John turns on Alexander. You know, I
I'm not gonna sit here and say that it's gonna
breathe new life into the Death Riders. It could if
they just continue to do the same thing they've been doing,
and then you just have Josh Alexander running around, you know,

(01:14:21):
suplexing and wrestling people. That to me, doesn't make it
very interesting. It's gonna take a little bit more than that.
But if they want to try something new, I'm all
for trying something new because what they're doing now is just,
you know, boring me. So that's fine with me. As
far as Speedball winning the TNT title, should he win
it from Garcia or Cole? Honestly, you want my honest opinion,

(01:14:45):
I don't really give a shit. I don't care who
it is. Doesn't like I can't bring myself to really
care about the TNT title right now. I just don't
care if Speedball is going to win. It doesn't really
phasee me whether it's from one or the other. They're
both baby faces. So but I mean, you're also proposing

(01:15:11):
what that he wins it right away. He hasn't even
debuted yet. I don't think he needs to rush the
title on d him not yet. Take your time with that.
All right, two rounds. You guys killed it, and therefore

(01:15:32):
we will begin round number one of be the Booker.
Ladies and gentlemen, it is now time to be the booker.
Speaking of former aw talents, there's one right there, Pentagon,
that old Penta, another one that got away from Tony Kahan. Okay,

(01:16:02):
round number one we'll begin with Tag Team. Be the
booker as we usually do. And look at this. Somebody
who left Dynamite tonight in the back of an ambulance
is actually in be the booker here. Claudio and TJ. Wilson,

(01:16:27):
former Tag Team champions on Monday Night Raw. They're kicking
us off here. They're actually a very good team, very
good team, and they are going to be taking on
the team. Well, would you look at who we landed
on here, it's the Outrunners Floyd and Magnum. My god,

(01:16:52):
you get a double dose of be the Booker. You
get a double dose of the Outrunners tonight. What are
the fucking chances of that? And on top of that,
I think the Outrunners against Claudio and TJ would have
been a fucking great match. That's how you start out
be the Booker. Right there, we got the Outrunners on Dynamite,
and we got the Outrunners and Be the Booker all

(01:17:13):
in one night. They're pulling double duty. I love it.
I love it. I love it when it works out
that way. I think that might have been their debut.
I don't remember landing on the Outrunners before. That might
have been there be the Booker debut. Women's Be the
Booker begins with the lovely Oscar, who should be back

(01:17:36):
soon from her injury. Oscar is gonna go one on
one with Rhea. Let me admire this photo for a second. Okay,
Rhea Ripley, who for some reason is licking a skull
here in this image. Rhea Ripley and Osca. There you go.

(01:18:02):
That's how you do it. That's how you book a
women's match and be the booker. I'm just gonna leave
it here for a second. B com see clearly, thank
you for the two bucks, says I want to see
the Outrunners win gold eventually. I do too. If it
was anybody but the hurt Synda kid holding onto those
championships right now, I think they would have a pretty

(01:18:24):
good chance. Firepan is with us, Hey, Firepan, to thank
you for the twenty nine months of membership, says Star
Wars episode three, Revenge of the Sith is coming back
to theaters in April. Solo for Halloween. You should get
frosted tips and go as Michael Cole. Go where where

(01:18:50):
am I going? You should? You should go as Michael
Cole for Halloween, but go where you want me to
leave that house with frosted tips? Which tips? That should
I be frosting? All right? Main event time. Here we
go our first of two main events here on this night,

(01:19:16):
and we begin with the legendary late and great Owenhart
and the two As you can see, they're two times
Slammy Award winning Owen Hart. Owen Hart one on one

(01:19:40):
with Bandido. Oh fuck yes, fuck yes, Owen Heart. And
what a card we just booked t J. Wilson and
Claudio against the outrunners to get us started. Rhear Ripley
against Oscar and Owen Hart against Bandido. If this isn't

(01:20:01):
one of the best, be the booker cards that I've
ever booked. I gotta see the others because that one
was fucking great. We're sold out, man, we got we
got standing room only for this card. We got no
more tickets to sell. I almost don't even want to
do another round because I know, I know it's not
gonna be as good as this, but we must, we must.

(01:20:32):
You guys earned it. You got a clean sweep, you
got a hell of a card, and we're gonna do
stipulations here for round number two because you hit the
super check goal. Round two this will be a tag
team match. Actually, you know what, fuck that, We're gonna
start with the women's match just because so we'll book

(01:20:54):
a women's match. We have the women open the show
here and this is going to be a hardcore match.
So a women's hardcore match is what we are booking here.
Can it be as good as Rial Ripley against Oscar?
Though I don't know. We have GG Dolan Where's she been?

(01:21:26):
What she'd been up to? Gg Dolan is going to
be taking on Camille. I could say the same for Kamil.
Where's she been? What she been doing? We should have
a different stipulation for this match. It should be like
a Missing Mia match, Missing in action Camille against gg

(01:21:51):
Dolan in a hardcore match. Yeah, I knows she's with
NX TAM, but it has she been on NXT recently?
Is my question? All Right, I'll give it the bell.

(01:22:13):
I'll give it the bell. The hardcore stipulation helps because
then they'll have all the smoke and mirrors and shit,
and they can use all the plunder and maybe it'll
be something. I don't feel nearly as confident about this
though as I did rear Ripley against Oscar, though, big
difference there. All Right, tag team match. This tag team

(01:22:39):
match is going to be a Yappa pie strap match.
How are we going to have a tag team Yapa
pie strap match? I don't believe this has ever been
done before. Oh boy, tag team Yappa pie strap match.

(01:23:05):
Starting with Owen Hart for the second time. Tonight we
have landed on Owen Hart, Owen Hart and the British
Bulldog who were a very good team. I've never seen
them in a Yappa pie strap match before, but Owen
and the Bulldog are going to be taken on Cash

(01:23:26):
Wheeler and Dax Harwood, FTR Bald and FTR Hair in
a Yapa pie strap match. They'll make it work. You
know why, because when you have two great teams, they
will find a way to make anything work. They will
find a way to make it work. That's right, double strapation,

(01:23:51):
that's right, That is right. Hey, that's two bells. Guys.
We could be very you know what, I'm not going
to jinx it. I'm not gonna say anything, not gonna
say anything. Main event time this well oh man, wow,

(01:24:13):
all right, main event is gonna be a blindfold match.
It's gonna be a blindfold match. And you know what
that match right there, Jake the Snake, Roberts and Rick
Martel WRESTLEMANI A seven. They took a stipulation that had
no business being as good as it was, and they
actually had a good match. So it is possible. It

(01:24:33):
is possible. I'm just saying, you can't. You can't. Can't
lose faith, can't lose faith. Cain Caine already has a
mask on. Now you're gonna put a You're gonna put
a blindfold over the mask, could be bumping into shit.

(01:24:55):
He's not gonna know where he's going. That's horrible. It's
like to it putting two bags up your head. That's
like the worst stipulation for someone who wears a mask.

Speaker 2 (01:25:09):
O blis fed bliss Fen says, Cane will struggle to breathe.
Cane will struggle to breathe. How is he going to breathe?
He might pass out? How's he going to get oxygen?

(01:25:31):
Caine is going to be taking on the death match
King Matt Cardona in a blindfold match. We were so close.

(01:25:51):
We were so close to a double sweep. I think
it might have been our first one. We were this close.
Oh and we fucked it up. Well, that was disappointing,
so close yet so far away, having twenty twelve nightmares immediately,

(01:26:21):
I just love when bliss Fan pointed out, like he he.

Speaker 1 (01:26:24):
Won't be able to breathe. How are you gonna put
a masked man? Especially with that old man, that original
mask it had like a little slit for his mouth,
a couple of little nose holes. They get to put
a fucking blind, a fucking sack like a burlap sack
over his head. Oh man, I didn't jinx anything. I

(01:26:50):
said nothing, I stopped short, I didn't. You can't blame me,
can't blame me. That's right. It was the curse of Goulberg.
It was all Goulberg's fault. Don't blame anybody else, Blame him.

(01:27:13):
A evil monkey, Mike, Welcome to the Channel. Hat on
a hat on a hat. That's right, doubles Well, you
know what. For the most part, though, like that first
card was pretty pretty badass, So I think on the
whole we did very well tonight. Thank you guys for
hanging out with me. Pretty straightforward episode of Dynamite. Solid episode.

(01:27:34):
Not as good as some of the recent shows they've done,
but like I said before, we got a great main event,
and they set up a couple more matches officially for Revolution.
We made a fun trios match. So it wasn't it
wasn't all a home run this week, but there was
enough good on there to save the show for me.

(01:27:55):
Next time, I'm gonna be with you live here on
the Channel, and maybe, who knows, maybe if we hit
the goals again, we'll get to do another double round here,
but Friday night it is the final SmackDown, the go
home show before Elimination Chamber. They're gonna be live in Toronto.
I will be live here on YouTube. I hope you
will join me, and I'm gonna be live Saturday night
as well. When Elimination Chamber is over, I expect you

(01:28:15):
to be back here on the channel. Set your notifications,
make sure you don't forget because when that show is over,
I'm thinking ten thirty ish eleven Eastern. I'll be here
on YouTube. And then of course episode nine oh three
this Sunday, they'll be Solemn Monster Sounds up. So be well,
stay safe, we'll do it all over again on Friday night.

(01:28:36):
Until then, take care, guys,
