Speaker 1 (00:01):
Aew was back at the Andrew J. Brady Music Center
in Cincinnati. It was another one of these intimate venues.
It's a music hall and it has been a popular
venue for them this year because they actually had a
dynamite there earlier in the year. You remember it was
the episode where John Moxley and that's his hometown, John

(00:21):
Moxley defended the aw World Championship on that show against
Powerhouse Hobbs. And what a main event that was on
that show. That was at the beginning of the year.
And actually WWE ran there as well. They ran an
NXT show in that venue the following month. So tonight
they were back and there was a lot going on
on this show, a little too much going on on

(00:44):
this show because they realized that Forbidden Door is less
than two weeks away. We have ten days to go
until Forbidden Door. And one of the issues that they
have run into this year is the fact that the
g One Climax is currently in progress. Normally, Forbidden Door
does not take place in August, but it did this
year because all Ingub moved up a little bit, so

(01:07):
the schedule sort of shifted a little bit. We haven't
seen that many New Japan Stars popping up on TV.
We had one tonight, and I would guess that once
the g One wraps up, which I believe is this weekend,
we may see them on the show next week. Next
week is the final Dynamite before Forbidden Door. That did
not stop them though, from making a whole bunch of

(01:29):
different announcements. But before we even get into any of that,
the key angle on the show involved the AW World
Championship Hangman Page and MJF. MJF got a win last
week in the main event if you remember over Mark Briscoe.
Mark Briscoe was not on the show tonight. We had
a face off, and we'll talk about the opening segment here,

(01:50):
but what came out of it was Hangman goating MJF,
getting under his skin and goading him into putting his
contract up the contract up meeting. He's going to use
the contract that he won in the Casino Gaullet match,
not that he's going to put the contract on the
line and he's gonna get his World Championship match at

(02:11):
Forbidden Door, but he's gonna get it by cashing in
the contract that he won. So they're going right to
that match it is official. We have a World Championship
match now for a pay per view. We also had
on this show the return of Will Osprey, the same
Will Osprey who only a few weeks ago showed up
on TV looking very downtrodden and down on his luck

(02:32):
because he was given some terrible news that he had
a very serious injury, two herniated discs in his neck,
and he made a very odd statement that you know,
Bruv Bruv, I hope to be back in time for
Forbidden Door. And I'm just like, what, two herniated discs

(02:52):
in his neck and he hopes to be back in
a matter of weeks, and that seemed very unwise, it
seemed very optimistic. Well, there he was tonight. He was there,
he was physical, and they made the announcement that will
Osprey is going to be wrestling on the Forbidden Door card.
Not only is he going to be wrestling on the
Forbidden Door card, but he is going to be involved

(03:15):
in a ten men lights out steel cage match. So
one of these matches that there's just going to be
mass carnage and chaos and big moves and a lot
of it's going to be coming from will Osper doesn't
sound very smart to me, but I'm sure he desperately
wanted to be on that show, and so he is.

(03:37):
Now I'm just trying to visualize how this is going
to work. You know, when you have this is not
blooding guts where you have two rings and you can
spread people out. You got ten guys that are going
to be in this match in one ring, in one cage.
That's a lot of guys. It's a lot of bodies
and not a lot of room to maneuver around. So
that just sounds like a complete shit show waiting to

(04:01):
happen here. But you look at the names in this match,
and it will be Darby Allen, it will be Will
Osprey obviously, Hiroshi Tanahashi, and we'll get into who the
other members of the match are going to be, because
it was quite a shock seeing them just thrown up
in a graphic with no way to build them up

(04:22):
to the moment or anything like that. Two other really
big names if you're at aw finger looking at this
going man he's are two really big names that also
are tossed in there on the baby face side out
of nowhere. We've not seen them on television recently, but
they're gonna be there at Forbidden Door in a few weeks.
They and I'll just tell you right now, one of
those names is Kenny Omega, and they threw his return

(04:45):
out there like nothing, just a total throwaway. Oh, by
the way, Kenny Omega is going to be back in
that match of Forbidden Door. Okay, okay, all right. You
know for a company, I mean Tony Kumas talking. He
did an interview with Z one hundred here in New
York and he was just talking about all the stories
that they tell. People say, we're not a storytelling company, though,

(05:08):
we don't tell stories, and that's not true. And he's right.
People do make comments like that and it's not true.
You may not like the stories they tell, but they
do tell stories. But this is one of those examples
of no story to be told here. As far as
their inclusion in the match, it's just like we got
we gotta put a card together here and find a
way to get these people on the show. And this

(05:30):
is what we're coming up with. So that match is official.
We have And then really when you look at it too,
like we have. Man, I haven't even mentioned the cop
and Christian stuff. My God, like I said, there was
a lot of stuff that was thrown out there tonight
to set matches up for the pay per view, coping

(05:50):
Christian being one of them. They're back together. I didn't
think tonight was going to be the night. But they're
back together, and they're wrestling at Forbidden Door. They're not
waiting until all out, They're not waiting for Toronto. We
are getting the Adam Copeland Christian Cage reunion, the first
time since twenty eleven that these men have teamed together,

(06:14):
and we are getting that at Forbidden Door as well.
But this is what happens again when you are in
crunch time and you have a card that has to
be put together and not a whole lot announced, you
get all these announcements at once, because look, if they waited,
next week is the go home show, and then you'd
have people complaining, oh, why are you putting half the

(06:35):
card together four days before the pay per view. So
they felt like they had to make these announcements. And honestly,
if you look at the cards so far for Forbidden Door,
it's a very strong card on paper. I'm sure it's
going to be a kick ass show, but it was
just a lot to throw at the viewer on this
show tonight. So we'll go through the entire thing. This
is your aw Dynamite review. It is Wednesday, August thirteenth

(06:59):
to twenty twenty five. I am the Solemn Monster. Thank
you for hanging out with me here on another Wednesday night.
Do me a favor. Because we are less than ten
subscribers away from eighty eight thousand, it's possible we could
hit it tonight, So if you are not subscribed to
the channel, please go ahead and do so. Hit that
like button as well. I don't know if we'll hit

(07:21):
the goal tonight minimum four hundred likes. If we don't,
we don't. If we do, you know the drill we'll
be doing our be the Booker segment later. Super chats
are open as well. If you have questions, comments, you
want to support the channel, get them on in. You'll
see them popping up on your screen. There's King Kong
Bundy wave hello. So get them on in right now

(07:42):
and I will read them a little later on. So
the show kicked off with MJF Hangman Page. He comes
down to the ring because they were advertised for a
face to face on tonight's show. We were also told
by the announcers that if there was physicality between these

(08:06):
two men, massive fines would be levied against them, so
they could not touch. Otherwise, I guess Tony Kahan would
find them and take some of that money to put
towards these three hundred thousand dollars four hundred thousand dollars
five hundred thousand dollars Multiman matches that he does see
now we know how he's funding these matches. He's just

(08:28):
finding people. So MJF he called Hangman the main character, right,
you're the main character in aw If you're the main character,
that I'm the main antagonist. He told Page that he
knows he's at his most vulnerable when he's angry. MJF
promised to make Page very, very angry. So Hangman took

(08:50):
the bait, and he started screaming and hollering like a madman.
He just erupted on MJF, saying that you know, you
keep calling me Seabiscuit, but you're as because in the
movie Steve Biscuit was a winner. So he said, MJF
is not going to goad him into a title shot.
You're gonna have to earn it or you're gonna have

(09:10):
to cash in that Casino Gauntlet contract now. MJF pen
Mark Brisco last week on the show. They never said
that it was a number one contenders match, but you
kind of assume that, Okay, whoever wins that match is
probably going to be next to the line to challenge
for the title. Evidently not. Evidently Hangman has the power
to say no, no, no, you don't get a shot.

(09:32):
I dictate who gets a title shot around here. So
he said, the only way you're gonna get a shot
is earn it. He didn't explain how MJF was supposed
to earn it. How do you earn it? If winning
matches doesn't earn you a title shot, how exactly do
you earn the right to challenge this man for the championship?
He didn't explain that. Or you're gonna have to cash

(09:53):
in your contract, it's gotta be one of the other.
MJF said that Hangman wants to talk about moral character,
and the fans say that Hangman did nothing wrong and
they treat him like a god. He said, screw their god.
MJF will expose Hangman as a fraud and a weak minded, alcoholic,
little boy said that he would break the spell that

(10:15):
Page has cast on these fans in at Forbidden Door.
He would defeat their god and crucify him. So Hangman
told them JF that he talks as if he's already
got the title shot. He goes, you don't because I
refuse to take this championship and give you a shot
at it. Hangman pressed MJF and said that he won't

(10:38):
because he wants him to take a shot. Take a shot.
He says, you won't because you want an insurance policy.
You want to hold onto that contract because you know
that you can't beat me. Claim that MJF prides himself
on being an aw Day one guy, and he knows
that aw was about being all in, and he goaded

(11:00):
him into taking his shot, called him an insincere or
insecure I should say insecure, gutlass coward. MJF is just
fuming at this point, so he is just reeling this
guy in and finally MJF he gets so pissed off
that he said he just shouts at Hangman and they

(11:21):
censored what he said, but he basically said, I'm cashing
in the contract at Forbidden Door, and you could see
the demeanor change on his face almost instantly when he
realizes what he just did. Right, He didn't come into
this segment with the intent to do that, but he
realized instantly what he had done, and he could back out.

(11:42):
I mean again, the way it works in aw is
until you sign the contract, it's not valid and you
don't cash in, it doesn't work. But he just accepted
the challenge. He just said, this is what I'm gonna do.
He can't back out. Now he's gonna look like a puss.
So he realizes now the pickle that he is himself into,
and Hangman told him he would see him at Forbidden

(12:05):
Door and called him a dumbass before leaving the ring.
You know, of all the people to call their shot
with their money in the bank contract, which is what
this is, just a copy of money in the bank,
MJF is not one that I would have expected to
call their shot in advance. His character, I mean, it's

(12:25):
just he is the kind of character that you would
expect would sneak in after a match is over. So
the fact that they found a way to get him
to call his shot in advance was kind of clever.
But I like what they did here again, if you
think about it, we had Hangman at the very beginning
of the promo saying that MJF is not going to
goad him right into a title match of Forbidden Door.

(12:48):
I know what you're trying to do. You're trying to
insult me, you're trying to piss me off, you're trying
to get under my skin. So I go, okay, you're on,
and he gets a championship match and still gets to
hold onto the contract. So that's how the segment started
with Hangman saying, you're not going to go me into
a title match. By the time we got to the
end of the segment, here he go died MJF into

(13:10):
using his contract to get a title match. So he
completely turned the tables on him here and so now
that the match is official, and it was the match
that made the most sense to do. But okay, now
it's really happening, how do you do this finish? I mean,
you can't just beat MJF and it's a one and
done and that's it. You've got to do it in

(13:32):
such a way that you can keep the issue alive.
Maybe run the match back in Toronto next month. But
it's too early for Hangman to be dropping the championship.
So that's going to be a very interesting finish to
that main event in terms of what they do, who wins,
and how they win, and how it all goes down,

(13:55):
and can you milk it for another main event next month,
which is what I would want to do, and I
would even consider doing a title change on that show.
But to do want of forbidden door to me. I mean,
I know they're in London, They're gonna have a hot crowd,
probably a sold out crowd. That just doesn't make any
sense to me. Now, we had John Moxley, the former

(14:16):
aw World Champion, the hometown Boy, tonight one on one
against Kevin Knight. Now, if you remember last week's show,
Knight stepped in to help his tag team partner Speedball
Mike Bailey after his match with Moxley, so that's set
up tonight's match. Moxley dodged a dropkick, he tried for

(14:37):
a Texas clover releaf, Night pushed him out of the ring.
They battled on the elevated ramp in stage that they
had at the venue. Knight dumped Moxley back to ringside
and then he attempted a flying a flying something off
the ramp. Moxley side stepped him and Knight went crashing
into the barricade. That took us into the commercial break.

(14:59):
Speedball tried to get involved. Marina Shaffir Wheeler you do
they cut him off. That allowed Moxley to have his
way with Knight. Moxley pulled him back into the ring.
He locked in a stretch. Later on, they both climbed
to the top rope and Moxley poked him in the
eye knocked him off the ropes. Spring or King King,

(15:21):
thinking of brody King here Night, we got Knights, we
got kings, we got the whole fucking royal cord here.
Knight sprang back up. He nailed the top rope superplex
for a two count. Brody King was on this show.
That was later, That's a later segment. Here on this show,
Moxley hit a cutter out of nowhere. He went for

(15:41):
a pile driver. Knight, though reversed it, sent Moxley into
the ropes for a power bomb, only got a two count.
Moxley bailed out of the ring. Night though, dove over
the turnbuckles and out onto Moxley. You to try to
get involved, Night kicked him away a little mule kick
from the apron. Knight hit a DDT. He hit the

(16:03):
UFO splash. Moxley, though, got the knees up and then
he got a sleeper locked in. Knight tried his best
to wiggle his way out of it. He was rolling
around on the mat. They had this great overhead camera
shot and he's rolling back and forth and Moxley just
won't let go, and so finally Knight has no choice
and he taps out. So it was a good match.

(16:25):
Moxley initially refused to release the hold. He just kept
it on and speedballs outside, going what are you doing? Right?
So he gets into the ring and he pulls Moxley
off of his partner. He gets attacked very quickly by
Wheeler Yuda and Marina Shaffir. Now we hear the music
and Darby Allen is here, and Darby Allen makes an

(16:46):
appearance on the stage. He's got a skateboard with him,
so Darby he gets involved here, delivers a shot to
Utah with the skateboard. Marina clears the ringing Darby plays
you inside of a body bag, so he climbed up top.
He was going to do a Coffin drop to him.

(17:07):
Here comes Claudiu. He comes out, intercepts Darby, pummels him.
He gets you out of the body bag first of all,
and then he plays Darby inside the body bag, picked
him up on his shoulders, gave him an airplane spin,
and then dumped him down to the mat. See. I
never saw the Undertaker do that. Back in the day,
Undertaker used to stuff his opponents inside of a body bag,

(17:29):
and then his big move was once they were sealed
up tight in the bag, he would hit the ropes.
He would come off the ropes and jump up in
the air and just stomp on them. Basically the seth
Rolins stomp. That's what he would do. I didn't see
the Undertaker picking the guy up and give him a
fucking airplane spin. You to return to the ring with

(17:50):
a chair. They took Darby out of the body bag.
They wrapped the chair around his neck before Claudio could
stomp on it. This is when a while Will Osprey appeared.
He took out Claudio, he threw him over the barricade.
Then he delivered a hidden blade to Wheeler Yuda. Then
he got a microphone and Osprey is on the ropes,

(18:12):
he's got the mic. He's looking at at the Death
Riders in the crowd, and he tells Moxley, you don't
want to accept Darby's challenge for Forbidden Door. Fine, Instead,
he proposed that the Death Riders meet him and his
friends in a lights out cage match in London at

(18:33):
Forbidden Door. And the fans like that announcement, Moxley and
the Death Riders not so much. If we are to
take will Osprey seriously and take what he told us
on television a few weeks ago at face value, that
he is really hurt and he has two herniated discs

(18:57):
in his neck. Got what he said it was C
two and C six, whatever it was. If we are
supposed to believe that, in fact, that is a legitimate
injury that he has, which I believe it is. Now,
it just seems very unwise to allow this man to
not only be wrestling Forbidden Door, but to be wrestling

(19:21):
in a lights out steel cage match. Now. I know
him being in the ring with nine other people will
take some of the weight off of his own shoulders,
so it's not like a big singles match, but it
still seems like a really bad idea, and I know,
I assume I'm not the only one who feels this way. Evidently,

(19:41):
Tony Khan is not concerned. He gotta find medical report
and he thinks he'll be a Okay this man, come
hell or high water, He's gonna make sure he gets
in that ring in London if he has to drag
his body down to the ring. He wants to be
on that Forbidden Door show. Yeah, I feel bad for
Eddie Kingston because Eddie Kingston has said recently that he

(20:04):
was really hoping to be on the Forbidden Door card
because he missed it last year and that's like a
really big deal to him. And so the fact that
he wasn't included in this match tells me that he
has no shot at being on that show unless he
just makes an appearance. So I kind of feel bad
for him because I know he really wanted to be
back in time for this, but you know he's going

(20:29):
to be back in ten days wrestling. I'm not sure
what the point was in him coming out a few
weeks ago and making a big deal about this big
neck injury that he has. If he was just going
to come back in two weeks, what was the point
of that, why you even have him go out there
and make that kind of announcement. I don't really understand that.
I didn't understand it the night that he came out

(20:49):
and made the announcement, and he said, Tony Kahan gave
me the floor to come out here and tell all
you guys what I've been going through. I've been hiding
a neck injury for ten months, Like, why would you
even admit that? But here we are. He's going to
be back in ten days. We'll see what goes on there.
We'll see. I don't know. I just don't know, man,
I don't know. But in the back later with Renee,

(21:12):
Osprey announced that he got on the phone with his
former boss. He asked him to be part of this
match and he agreed, and so at Forbidden Door, it'll
be Osprey teaming with Darby Allen and the Ace, Hiroshi Tanahashi,
the former IWGP champion, the current president not only the ACE,

(21:33):
but the president of New Japan Pro Wrestler, and two
other partners. He said, to be determined. Actually it was determined.
It was determined later in the show. They just threw
it all out there tonight. But we'll get to that.
He also told Renee, hey, tell your husband that I
want to have a chat with him on next week's
show in Scotland. They're going to be in Glasgow next week,

(21:55):
so I guess we're going to get some kind of
a face to face with him in Moxley. That's what
Tanahashi's final UK match is gonna be. It was announced
months ago that his final match in the UK would
be on this show. We just didn't know who it
would be against because remember, like John Cena, he's in
the middle of his retirement tour. Only his his ends

(22:15):
a little bit later than seen is because Tanahashi's not
having his retirement match until the Tokyo Dome in January.
So this is gonna be it for him in the
UK and it's gonna be a lights out steel cage
ten man match five on five. Again, it's a good
way to kind of hide Tanahashi, who just I mean,

(22:36):
he just can't go the way he used to. But man, uh,
I don't know what that's gonna look like. You know,
ten guys stuffed into one cage and one ring like
that is It's gonna be a lot. There's gonna be
a lot going on there, But we weren't done with
the announcements about this match. We'll pick up with this
again later. We had the TVs Champion merce Monet teaming

(23:03):
with Tecla and Sky Blue to take on Alex Windsa
Willow Nightingale and Queen Amanada. Tecla and Blue of the
Triangle of Madness, that's what they call themselves, Teklas, Sky
Blue and Julia Hart. They're the Triangle of Madness. So

(23:23):
they've been making life difficult in recent weeks for Willow
and am Nada. Alex Windsor obviously is going to be
part of the four way match of Forbidden Door. Mercedes
is defending the TBS title at Forbidden Door, but she's
one of three challengers on that show. We don't yet
know who the CMLL person is going to be, and

(23:44):
we don't yet know who the challenger from Stardom is
going to be. So just to give you a sense
of how this match came together, this is why these
women were involved in this match. So Timeless Tony Storm
she also appeared. She was up in one of the balconies,
and then Athena, who's wrestling Tony at Forbidden Door, appeared

(24:05):
in another balcony. She had her contract with her that
she's cashing in. So both people interesting, very interesting. Both
people who won the Casino Gauntlet contracts this year are
calling their shots in advance. Very interesting. So anyway, they
were up in sort of opposing balconies watching this match.

(24:26):
Ami Nada isolated Monette in her team's corner and Windsor
attacked or tagged in for some side slams. Julia Hart
tried to grab Windsor from the outside, and Monette used
that distraction to deliver a jawbreaker from Robin Reins. Is
all elite, says the Arizona Zombie. Can you imagine? I can't,

(24:53):
Joe ANNAWAYI is all elite. I'll be all ill you'll
be all elites. I'll be in that lights out cage
match in ten days before Roman reigns ever sets foot
in an aw ring. So we had just just the

(25:15):
thought of it. Just the thought of it is just
ridiculous to me. You got guys who are letting they're
letting their contracts expire, or they're they're hitting them up
like four days before their contract expires with an offer Roman, Like,
I don't know when Roman's contract expires. But you have
to imagine that probably like two years before it expires,

(25:36):
they'll be in full deliberations with them over a new deal.
Just interesting how they treat different people. Julia Hart, like
I said, she tried to grab Windsor from the outside,
and Monette used that as a distraction to hit a jawbreaker.
They went to a break and they came back. Willow
flatt and Tecla and sky Blue jumped in to get

(25:56):
some revenge. Willow caught her with a death valley, though Tecla,
Blue and Monette they got stacked up in the corner
to take some punishment from all three opponents, ending with
a cannon ball from Willow. Julia Hard tried to get
involved again, but Tekla took advantage and hit Ami Nada
from behind. Hunger up in the ropes, Windsor locked in

(26:20):
a sharpshooter on Monet, who escaped, tagged in sky Blue,
and then all hell broke loose at this point, and
this really was a theme for a lot of the
matches on the show tonight. There were multiple multi person
matches that ultimately just broke broke down. Everyone brawled, it
left only sky Blue and Windsor standing Sky put the

(26:41):
sharpshooter on Or Windsor, I should say, put the sharpshooter
on sky Blue, who was forced to tap out. So
when the match was over, Athena and Tony storm they
brawled up in the balcony area all the way down
to ringside. Meanwhile, Mercedes attacked Alex Windsor. After the bell,
Storm and Windsor they fired back. They sent the heels

(27:02):
out to the floor. Tony took the microphone and made
a challenge for a tag team match on next week's show.
She told Athena and Mercedes they better wear something under
their kilts, otherwise they would bear back them all over Scotland. Yeah,
that's what she said. Eddie says, the Braves are up

(27:26):
eleven to six. Yess, the Mets fucking suck. The Mets
are awful. The Mets are an absolutely atrocious, awful baseball team.
I think I want to say they were up six
nothing in this game. I was trying to keep tabs
on what was going on before I went live. I
believe they were. I want to say they were up
six nothing, and then I think the Braves went up

(27:47):
nine to six off a Grand Slam. Now apparently it's
eleven to six. So yes, the Mets are fucking terrible.
The less said about them the better. Absolutely, just an
absolutely embarrassing franchise. So anyway, that's your tag team match
now for next week's show. As far as the women
in the match here, they did a lot with what

(28:09):
little time they had. They gave them less than ten minutes.
Much of the match took place during a commercial break,
but the action was good. The tag team match next week,
I think in front of that crowd in Glasgow, and
you look at the talent in that match, and we
have Mercedes and Athena as tag team partners for the
first time. That's gonna be a good match. That's a
match I'm looking forward to. Then we had Adam Copeland

(28:35):
one on one with Stokely Hathaway and the rule is
that if FTR interferes in this match and they try
to help out Stokely, then their order of protection that
they took out their restraining order on Adam Copeland is
declared null and void. Now I'm no lawyer. I've watched
a lot of legal dramas. I love me some law

(28:58):
and order, especially the class law and order and law
and Order SVU and Law and Order criminal intent. I've
watched them all. I don't know that this is necessarily
something that is what I would call legitimate. I need
my lawyers to check in here, let me know, because
this sounds very suspect to me. So a very reluctant

(29:21):
Stokely Hathaway was dragged out to the ring by aw security.
He clearly wanted no part of this. Stokely tried to
spear Cope right from the start. Copeland just no sold it.
He offered Stokely a free shot and then very casually
stepped aside, which drew a very sarcastic holy shit chant

(29:42):
from the crowd. Stokely then tried to be friends with Cope.
He offered him a fist bump, and so Copeland punched
him in the face. So he went outside, and they're
in the crowd now, and Copeland grabs a microphone and
he asked one fan in the crowd what they thought
of Stokely, and the fans said, he's short, he's bald,
and he gets no hose. Stokely, that is, it's possible.

(30:07):
The fan doesn't either, but he was referring to Stokely.
So then Copeland walked over to a woman in the crowd. Yes,
they do have those at these wrestling shows, believe it
or not. He walked over, he found a lady in
the crowd, and he asked her if Stokely actually had
a shot with her. Did Stokely have a chance to

(30:28):
sleep with her? Basically? And she said hell no, he doesn't.
Copeland kept on walking and he grabbed Stokely, and apparently
the stand up comedy portion of this match here was
now over, and Copeland brought Stokely back to ringside with
him put him back in the ring. Copeland speared Stokely,
and this is when FTR came out. So FTR comes

(30:51):
out on the on the entrance ramp and they're begging
Copeland to not murder this man. They're begging him to stop,
so instead he speared Stokely again. FTR couldn't take it anymore.
They ran to the ring, thus invalidating their restraining vorder.

(31:12):
Copeland took out Dax, he took out Cash, went for
a third spear on Stokely, but when he did, Stokely
threw powder in his face, and that was a cause
for what I assume was a disqualification. FTR laid a
beat down on Copeland. They were about to spike him
when Christian cage. Last time we saw Christian was what

(31:33):
was it two weeks ago? Wasn't last week? Was? I
think it was two weeks ago when Nick Wayne and
Kip Sabian delivered that awful looking concerto to and I
just assumed you do an angle like that, and that's
a way to keep Christian off the show for at
least a few weeks, and that way you can kind
of kill the build to Forbidden Door and then bring

(31:54):
him back post Forbidden Door and begin the build to
a Cope and Christian reunion in time for Toronto. Silly me, No,
he was back tonight. And not only was he back,
but Christian came out with spike the wooden board with
the nails in it that belongs to Adam Copeland. So
he runs out to the ring with the board. He

(32:14):
swings at FTR. They bail out to the floor, but
Nick Wayne shows up with a chair. Kip Sabian showed
up as well. I did see Mother Wayne. I saw
it very brief, very brief. She didn't say anything, she
didn't do anything, but Mother Wayne was there as well.
Christian knocked the chair out of Nick's hands because he

(32:36):
had a chair. He had the board. The board beats
the chair, so he knocked the chair out of Nick
Wayne's hands. And we also had Copeland deliver a spear
to Kip Sabean and the heels backed off, leaving Christian
and Copeland alone in the ring. They did the old
deal where their backs are turned and they don't realize
that the other guy is behind them, and they bump

(32:58):
backs and unlike Tony Storm earlier she's talking about bear back,
that they were not bear Thank god they had their
clothing on, but or at least Christian did. But they
bump and they turn around and they see each other. Right,
and now what's gonna happen? What is going to happen
now with Copeland and Christian, that's the question. Christian went. Actually,

(33:21):
the first thing he did before he went to go
leave was he handed spike to Copeland, who took the board,
and then Christian went to go leave. Before he could
do so, Copeland grabbed him, turned him around and gave
him a hug, and Christian did hug him back, but
it was Copeland who initiated it but we got the

(33:42):
hug because the fans were chanting, hug it out, and
they got the hug, and everybody popped. Christian had a
very conflicted, confused look on his face like he still
wasn't sold on this idea. He did not look thrilled.
And this, I mean, look, this was inevitable. We knew

(34:05):
that this was the destination. We knew the payoff was
getting these two guys back together, but it just felt
to me like, even though it's been teased for a while,
it still felt rushed. It felt like this is something
that we should have waited a few more weeks to get,
even a couple more weeks, like coming out of Forbidden Door,
and instead they opted to do it tonight. And we

(34:26):
found out very quickly why that is because they made
the announcement that Adam Copeland and Christian Cage, Oh they're
back together, all right. They're back together enough that Tony
Kahan sought fit to immediately make a tag team match
for the pay per view, and it's going to be
Cope and Christian against Nick Wayne and Kip Saban. That

(34:48):
is official. In ten days, they will wrestle their first
tag team match together in fourteen years. That's awfully quick
the way they put that together. I will say this though,
I get the vision that Tody Khan is going for here.
I get it, and it does make sense in this respect.

(35:10):
They're clearly going to move on to Cope and Christian
and FTR titles are no titles. That's got to be
the direction and it's coming up very soon. You got
to wrap up this stuff first though, with Christian and
the Patriarchy, Like, you can't just leave it, hangy, you
gotta do Christian against Nick Wayne. You gotta do some
sort of match to wrap up that story before Christian

(35:34):
moves on to something completely different. That's what they're doing here,
and it serves a couple of different purposes. Number One,
it allows them to wrap up the Christian patriarchy story
once and for all, and it also allows them to
give Cope and Christian a win heading into what I
presume now is going to be a championship match at
all out because on the flip side of this, the

(35:57):
finals are taking place next week where it's going to
be FTR against Brody Kingham Bandido, and the winners of
that match are going to challenge the Hurt Syndicate who
are not on the show tonight. No, no Hurt Syndicate
members at all tonight, But the Hurt Syndicate are defending
their tag team titles against the winner of this tournament.
You can make an argument for either team, but after

(36:20):
what they did tonight, to me, there is no argument
that team needs to be FTR. The team that goes
on to beat the Hurt Syndicate to win the titles
is going to be FTR. And the only question is
do they do some sort of a draw or a
no contest next week to allow Brody Kingham Bandido to
get a spot in a big match on the Forbidden

(36:43):
Door card where they could make it a triple threat
match for the tag team titles. And again, Hurt Syndicate
can drop the belts in that situation without having to
be pinned. It's a cop out. But if there's a
concern on their parts that hey, we don't want to
just go in there and lose to FTR, that could
be a workaround to that. But FTR should come out

(37:06):
of Forbidden Door as the Tag Team champions and Copeland
and Christian challenging for those titles. That now becomes the
attraction Before the attraction was Copeland and Christian just reuniting
and having a match at all But you've taken that away. Now,
you're giving that to the crowd in London. You're giving
it away a month earlier than I thought they would,

(37:28):
So that alone is no longer the attraction for All Out.
The attraction has to be Okay, they're back together and
they're going after gold. It's been a long time since
they've been tag team champions. That's the attraction now for
All Out on September twentieth, so they made the finals
here a lot more predictable than maybe it would have

(37:50):
been before. It predictable as it still was. This just
seals the deal. As far as FTR and I already
talked about all the MVP stuff and the rumors going
around about him rejecting pitches for FTR to win at
All In and then to win at Forbidden Door, it's
not his call to make again, it's not his call,
it's not his match, it's not his company. If Tony

(38:10):
Khan wants the belts on FTR, that is where the
belt should go, regardless of what MVP or anybody else thinks.
That is the destination period end of story. Now we
had the Young Bucks Josh Alexander and Kyle Fletcher taking
on Brody King, Hologram, tomohiro Esh and a mystery partner

(38:32):
in a Tony Khan special. Oh yes, the only thing
missing was the dollar amount that was up for grabs
here in this match. There was no dollar amount, but
it was an all star eight man tag team match.
I've lost track of how many of these we've gotten
in the last month. Today's episode is sponsored by Betterhelp.

So a bunch of pyro shot off as someone announced

(41:02):
over the PA that they had no music for the
Young Bucks tonight, so they just came out to booze
and laughs from the crowd. But they had video on
the big screens, one that mentioned Slick Nick and the
other one mentioned mister Instant Replay, which sounds like a
character you would create in two K twenty five, But

(41:24):
we were told that that was actually their original names
and they first started wrestling on the independen scene. So
the Mystery Man, who was the mystery Man on the
baby face side, the Mystery Man was going to be
the person we were told challenging Kyle Fletcher for the
TNT Championship at Forbidden Door. It turned out to be
Hiromu Takahashi from New Japan Pro Wrestling, and I like Horomo.

(41:48):
You know, he's a great wrestler. Fans gave him a
respectful reaction in the building tonight. It wasn't some sort
of big blowaway announcement or anything like that. But finally
we're getting an actual like forbidden Door aspect to this card,
because I've been talking about how the majority of the
card like where is the actual forbidden door influence? And

(42:09):
so now we have a new japan talent challenging for
an AW championship. So the Bucks took out Brody King
early on. They sent him to the outside, and then
outside they started bullying Justin Roberts for not giving them,
I guess the introductions that they felt they deserved, and
then they delivered a double super kick to him and

(42:33):
they took out poor Justin Roberts. So meanwhile, Hologram flies
out over the top rope. He takes out all the
heels on the floor and they go to commercial, just
as Doc Samson. You can see the doctor going over
to check on Justin. When they came back, Tony Shavani
announced that Tony Khan had fined each of the Young
Bucks ten thousand dollars for what they had done to

(42:54):
Justin Roberts. And he also said that he would be
taking over the ring announcing for the rest of the show,
and he said that this is the first time. So
this is something he hasn't done on TBS since nineteen
eighty nine. It's a long time. Nineteen eighty nine is
actually the year he left Crockett to go work for
the WWF. He was only there for a year, so

(43:19):
I mean he must have been doing ring announcing. I
guess maybe in January of that year. I think he
actually went over to the WWF in February. I enjoyed
his work there. I know Vince McMahon did not. Vince
McMahon thought he was too southern. He hasn't liked people
who were too southern. Somehow Jim Ross though, stood the

(43:40):
test of time. But yeah, Tony said that's what he
was told. I think Bruce Pritchard has said the same thing.
Vince dident like he had a Southern accent. He sounded
fine to me. Kyle Fletcher took a shot at Heromu,
which opened him up for a shot from Brody King,
who in Ishi. Fletcher got the knees up after Ishi

(44:05):
set him up for a move, the Bucks ran in.
They started spamming Super kicks, Alexander grabbed Takahashi and slammed
him on the apron. Everyone was brawling. I'm not even
going to bother recapping this because there's just no point.
Fletcher got King up for a Young Buck assisted spike
pile driver on the apron. Back inside, all four heels

(44:29):
took turns hitting big moves on Hologram. He reversed the
Nick Jackson her Karna and got a hot tag to Takahashi,
who stacked up Fletcher and Alexander for a lariat in
the corner. He went up top, but he wasn't fast enough.
He caught Kyle Fletcher kicked to the head and the
Bucks jumped in. They laid him out with kicks, and
Fletcher hit a leaping tombstone and Takahashi still kicked out.

(44:51):
At two, Alexander tagged in Takahashi, though reversed his attack
into a flatliner. King rejoined the match, took out Fletcher.
Hologram jumped on a bunch of people, Alexander and Takahashi.
They were the only ones left standing, and Hiromu planted
Alexander with a time bomb and got the win for

(45:11):
his team, which is you know, it makes sense he's
challenging for the title at Forbidden Door. This was their
way of giving him a win, give him some momentum
here going into the pay per view. But again, there
was just a lot of craziness here during the match,
where it just was you know, boom boom, boom, boom

(45:32):
boom and NonStop actions. So there's no point in recapping
every single aspect of it. All you need to know
is that there's a lot of action here and Heromu
got the win, and Hiromu ain't winning the TNT Championship
at Forbidden Door, So the least we can do for
this man is give him a win on this show,
and that's what they did. Now. Renee was out on

(45:55):
stage to introduce Swerve, Strickland and Prince Nana, but her
microphone and wasn't working, so nobody heard her as she's
standing there talking, so they quickly cut to the announcers
who were not prepared for this, and they started to
bs a little bit and talk about random nonsense just
to kind of stall for time so they could get
her mic working again. Task could barely contain his laughter

(46:19):
over this whole situation. Then they cut back to Renee,
who had to do her intro all over again, but
at least her mic worked this time. So she asked
if Swerve would be medically cleared for Forbidden Door, and
I said, medically cleared? What when did this happen? We
got will Osbury coming out of here and talking about
how he has two herd he eight to discs and
now we're basically getting the same story here. And in

(46:41):
this case, I'm not sure if this is a worked injury.
Maybe it's a real injury. I don't know, but now
we're getting the same story with Swerve. So Swerve said
he doesn't care if he is or he isn't cleared.
His only priority is the unified champion kazuchko O Kada,
which honestly is not much of an answer. He didn't
really answer the question. Okada took that as a good

(47:02):
time to mosey on out to his new entrance music
and he had a stare down with Swerve. Okada said
that Swerve has no chance thanks to his knee injury.
Okada said he might as well give up now, but
Swerve still question whose house it might be. That was
just to get the crowd to start chanting you know
whose house over and over and over again. Okata called

(47:25):
him a bitch, Swerve gave him a shove, and security
came out to keep them apart. This sucked. This segment sucked.
A complete throwaway segment. I mean basically, Swerve comes out right,
and the point was to tell people that he's got

(47:45):
a bum knee, so they bring up the knee injury.
Okada comes out, he calls them a bitch, they break
them up. End of segment. Waste of time. And that's
what this segment was. This is what they came up
with for these two guys to do, just to get
them on, just to get them on the show. I
guess right. It doesn't really get any lazier than that,

(48:08):
But that was the brilliant idea they came up with
for these two men. Swerve hurt his knee, says Big Ben.
Another legitimate injury, huh, and he's going to be wrestling great. Well,
Look whether it's legitimate or not, it gives him an

(48:28):
out when he loses, Right, If he goes in there
and he loses to Okada, they'll just chalk it up
to the knee injury, and then he will obviously become
a focal point of that match. Now that will be
the story of the match, and he'll put up a
valiant effort and then fall short in the end, and
they could just blame it on the knee injury. But
whether it's a swerve or whether it's legit, I guess

(48:52):
that was what they wanted to bring up here. I
just thought the segment itself though, in Okata just coming
out and saying, you know, just to get him to
say bitch. I mean, it's just such a lazy fallback line.
It's it's kind of funny sometimes. But like, I don't know,
when this segment was over, I said, what was what
was the point of even doing this? You could have

(49:15):
had a video package where Swerve talked about his knee.
It would have been even more effective than what we
had here. Backstage, Alicia Attute grabbed John Moxley and the
Death Riders as they were walking and asked if he
had chosen his teammates for a forbidden door against will Osprey,

(49:37):
Darby and Tanahashi. And by the way, like this literally
just happened a few segments earlier, Like the challenge was
just issued on this very show, and this man is
being hunted down backstage. Have you come up with partners
for your match yet? Why don't you give him a

(49:59):
little bit of time to come up with it. No,
but again they have to rush everything. We got to
make the announcements now because we have the pay per
view in ten days. We can't wait. We can't let
this breathe until next week, we get We gotta get
it all out there now. So of course he didn't
have all of his partners lined up yet, but he
heard tana Hashi. He didn't know about tana Hashi, and

(50:21):
he made her repeat Tanahashi's name like four or five times,
like you mean the Tanahashi, the Ace Tanahashi, that Tanahashi,
And she said yeah, and he was like shit. So
then he walked into the extra's locker room, where Marina
Shafir kicked all the jobbers out before the camera panned
over to show the Young Bucks sitting there after the

(50:41):
match from earlier. Yes, the Young Bucks have been relegated
to the extra's locker room. This bit will never not
be amusing. I hope they continue on with this indefinitely.
So Moxley shut the door behind them as the segment
and the main event on this show was a trios

(51:05):
match with the Ops finally back at full strength, and
I should mention that earlier in the show as they
were going into a commercial. I thought it was a
commercial at first. It was a shot of whatever the city,
like the city sky. You see the buildings and everything,
and then there's like a spotlight and it has an
h like send for Hook, and that's all it was.

(51:31):
This just played for like fifteen seconds and then they
went to commercial. So we're getting little vignettes now for
the return of Hook. How he's going to factor into
things with the Ops, we don't know, but Hook aside
the Ops. Now the Trios champions are back at full strength.
We had Samoa Joe back. He was teaming with Powerhouse
Hobbs in Katiori Schabada to take on La faxion Ingo,

(51:53):
Bernable Rouche, Droalistiko and the Beast Mortos. I did not
know before today that Samoa Joe fractured his ankle while
he was filming season two of Twisted Metal for Peacock,
and I think season two is about to premiere, so

(52:16):
it must have been months ago. I don't know when
filming for season two ended, but apparently he fractured his ankle.
He taped it up and he limped around for the
rest of the season, and he continued filming because when
you're a wrestler, that's what you do. So I don't
know what the point was of doing the injury angle

(52:37):
with him at Technic at all In Texas the way
they did, because we haven't seen him since then. I
don't know if he suffered another injury. I don't know
if there was some lingering issues with his ankle, because
up until you know, all In he was wrestling pretty regularly.
I mean, he was around, so the ankle fracture must
have happened many months ago, but I did not know that. Apparently,

(52:59):
like for all the stunts and shit that they were
doing on the show, the way it happened was, I
think he got out of a car and he planted
his foot or he took a step and it was
like uneven terrain, and just the way he turned his
ankle just like that fractured. It wasn't any kind of
big stunt or bump he took or anything like that.

(53:21):
But it's good to have Joe back. Technicians says. Season
two has been out for a few weeks. Oh, it's
already out, okay, so then they must have finished filming
beginning of the year. It would be my guess, is
that show any good? I didn't watch season one. I
never really played the Twisted Metal games, so I don't

(53:43):
really know from any of the characters, so I didn't
watch the first season. It kind of annoys me that
Joe was in the show and they don't use his voice.
It's just very weird. I know they wanted like a
name actor to use his voice. I forgot the name
of the actor. But Joe is the one who was

(54:04):
actually like he's playing the character. He's got the mask on,
his mannerisms and everything, and apparently he's really good in
doing whatever it is that he does in the show.
But I don't know. That just kind of annoys me.
Like Siboa, Joe's got a great voice, like I feel
like he's got a he's like low key, he's got
a great voice to do voiceover work or like cartoon
character work if you wanted to do something like an

(54:25):
animated series or a fucking anime or something, and they
don't even use the guy's voice, Like what a waste.
But anyway, so here in this match, Rush was taunting
Joe picking up with this like midway through, Ruche was
taunting Joe, trying to drag him into the match, but
Joe was cut off by the referee while Rush had

(54:48):
Shabata in a chinlock. Eventually, he got the hot tag
to Hobbs, who took out the Beast Morteos and Drollistick,
stacking them up in the corner and hitting a big
spinebuster on Morto's. Yeah, Will Arnett, that's who it was. Yes, Yeah,
they use Will Arnett's voice for the sweet Tooth character,

(55:10):
but Joe was the one that you actually see on
the show. Oh, Joe uses his voice in season two
he does huh interesting? What is it like just one scene?
Is it the entire season or is it just like
one scene where he gets to use his actual voice.

(55:36):
Roush broke up the pen attempt after Hobbs hit that
spinebuster on Morto's. Joe Tagg didnt to take on Dralistiko,
who tried a springboard, but he got caught in the
coquina clutch. Hobbs kept the other team at the other
team members at bay, and Dalistiko was forced to tap out.
That was it. That was the main event. This did
not feel like a Dynamite main event. It was very odd.

(55:58):
I was waiting for there to be some kind of
big angle and then there was nothing, and the baby
Face is won. It was like seven or eight minutes.
They got an overrun, and then they went around ringside
and they just were celebrating and they headed to the back,
and I'm watching this going, this can't be how the
show ends. This might be how Collision ends. But ten

(56:19):
days before the pay per view, the ops doesn't even
have a fucking match on the show. The hell are
they doing in the main event. It's got to be
something more here. And then sure enough, they cut to
the back where we see Hangman leaving through the parking
garage when Renee cuts him off and asks about the
title match at Forbidden Door before he gets speak. Before

(56:40):
he can answer her question, he gets ambushed by MJF.
Slams him into the hood of a car nearby, and
he's throwing repeated punches at him on the ground. He
tells Hangman to remember what you said about breaking me,
or maybe it was MJF who said he was going
to break Hangman, and I don't know it goes back

(57:01):
to what they were saying in the opening segment, but
he goes, you ain't seen nothing yet, And the show
actually ended with a shot of the World Champion laid
out on the ground backstage. So there was a lot
going on here on the show tonight because there is
a time crunch right now, right, I mean, it's not

(57:22):
uptime with this forbidden door card and trying to flesh
out all the key matches. So MJF and Hangman is official.
We have our aw World Championship match for the pay
per view. Cope and Christian reunited a lot earlier than
I thought they would be. They're wrestling on the fucking
pay per view, which I was not expecting that to

(57:42):
happen this quickly, But like I said, it does make
sense to at least wrap up the patriarchy angle of
all this before moving on to FTR or whatever comes next.
The Will Osprey announcement also kind of came out of
left field, even though he said he was going to
try to be back on that show, that it's going
to be a big match, and so the other members

(58:03):
of the match that were announced that I didn't mention
it's going to be Will Osprey, Darby, Allen, Hiroshi, Tanahashi,
Kenny Omega, and Kota Ibushi taking on the Death Riders
and the Young Bucks in a lights out ten man

(58:23):
steel cage match. So this is how Kenny Omega, who
has not wrestled since he lost to Okata in Texas
and we haven't seen Ibushi, had to be in the
Golman match. I think he was, well, we haven't seen
him since. Then all of a sudden we get the
Golden Lovers are being reunited, which really wasn't even focused

(58:46):
on here. It's been a while since we've seen the
two of them as a team, and their big return
together in Kenny Omega's Big Return is just a throwaway
graphic on the screen. Okay, we know all the participants
now in this match. You know you had Will Osprey
on the show tonight when he first threw this challenge out.
He said that it's going to be me and my
friends and I'm we have to make some phone calls

(59:09):
and whatever, and it's like before the show's even over,
they're already announcing all the members of the match. There's
no there's no drama, there's no nothing. So that aspect
of it was just very thrown together. There ain't much
of a story there as far as the addition of
those guys to this match. I mean, honestly, but that's
a big match, right, There's a lot of names in

(59:31):
that match, a lot of name talent there. We know
that Heromu is going to be challenging Kyle Fletcher for
the TNT Championship this Saturday. They also they announced this previously,
but this Saturday on Collision, there is a four way
match to decide who challenges Zach Saber Junior for the
IWGP World Title. It will be Nigel McGuinness at Cicero,

(59:56):
Daniel Garcia, and Lee Moriarty. Hmmm, I wonder, I wonder
who it'll be wrestling Zach Saber for the IWGP title.
I don't know. I can't figure it out. Guys, I'm
gonna have to leave it to you. Is it. It's
gonna it's gonna be Lee Moriarty, isn't it. Yeah? That's

(01:00:19):
I have a feeling about that guy. So anyway, we'll
get Zach Saber Junior against Nigel McGinnis on that show
for the IWGP title. And next week is the finals
of the Tag Team Tournament. FTR against Brody King and Bandido.
The winners will challenge the Hurt Syndicate for the AW
Tag Team titles, and Mercedes on next week's show is

(01:00:40):
tagging with Athena to take on Timeless, Tony Storm and
Alex Winsa. I love that name, Alex Winsa. There you go,
and that should be a fun show next week. I
have a feeling I don't know how many tickets they
have sold. I haven't checked, but to be their first

(01:01:00):
time doing TV in Scotland, I think that crowd's going
to be all amped up for that show Forbidden Door.
I mean anytime they go to London, whether it's Wembley
or a smaller venue like this, the crowds there are
fantastic and they have a lot of AW fans over there.
You know, they've sold over fifteen thousand tickets for this

(01:01:20):
show already, so we're heading into a period now. I
know not everybody is into the Forbidden Door stuff. There
are people who just like check out of AW programming
around this time because they just don't like the concept
or they don't follow these other promotions so they don't
really care. Some of the stories in AW maybe have
to go on hold while they do all this other stuff.

(01:01:42):
But we're heading into this period now where they're doing
TV and they're doing Forbidden Door internationally. Those shows should
be fun. It's going to look a lot different and
sound a lot different than some of these really small
venues that they've been running. So I'm hoping we get
it a couple of weeks of fun TV out of it.
But many did. They did a rush job on some

(01:02:03):
things tonight that they did. We do a rush job
here on this poll? How would you grade Dynamite from
Cincinnati A, B, C or D. Let's check out the
report card here. Twenty one point six percent give this
show an A, twenty two point eight percent to give

(01:02:25):
this show a B, twenty one point seven percent give
this show AC, and the winner with thirty through almost
thirty four percent of the vote give this show a D.
Why does that say from Cincinnati CV? What the fuck?

(01:02:47):
I didn't even realize I misspelled? But where'd the CV
come from? I give the spelling in this tweet a
D at Solomon so you can go to vote. Now
take a look at this. I was playing around with

(01:03:08):
this and I got my old view back here for
the Superchats very excited about this. Don't tell them they
told me that it was impossible. Oh yeah, fuck you
and always find a way. But we got to start

(01:03:32):
with the early superchats first, So that's what we're gonna
do and get them on in before we get out
of here. We are currently sitting by the way at
three hundred and twenty five likes, so that that just
ain't gonna cut it for be the booker tonight. Unfortunately. Well,
let's go through your messages here and we'll start with
our good friend, terrible dried Chicken without flavor, Cincinnati Cardinal

(01:04:03):
violence or Carnival violin. That's the best you can come
up with, Carnival violence. He He hates to say this,
but WWE is taking this counterprogramming against AW too far.
John Seen, his last match could potentially go head to
head against AW World's End. Yeah, I'm still thinking that

(01:04:27):
the Saturday Night's main event show in December will be
on the thirteenth, not the twenty seventh. We'll see, but yeah,
it's possible if they run the twenty seventh, that's the
same night as World's End. John Seen his final match,
he says, deserves a standalone show. They should have gone

(01:04:48):
with my idea that I proposed at the very beginning
of the year. But what the hell do I know?
He says, I'll tell you who can comfort Stokely Hathaway
tonight who I have no idea. I'll tell you how
Drew McIntyre can get more heat on himself. Here's the pitch.
Drew attacks Cody backstage and steals the Rolex watch. We

(01:05:11):
already saw Drew stealing a bracelet. I have no interest
in seeing him steal a Rolex watch. James Gunn should
cast Harley Cameron as Harley Quinn in the DC universe.
I'd be okay with that. I think Harley. I think
Harley could have a career for herself doing certain types

(01:05:34):
of certain ty. I was gonna say she could have
a career doing certain types of movies. I mean, legitimate movies.
Didn't come out the way that I wanted it to,
but she's very talented. Joseph Brooks says, do you think that,
just like Matt Hardy did what was unexpected by I

(01:05:58):
don't know what that word is suppose to be overtaking
maybe Jeff Hardy in popularity in a way. Christian has
done the same with Edge. Oh you mean like how
Matt Hardy with the broken stuff at one point was yeah, yeah,
I mean Christian. Though Christian is off the peak from

(01:06:19):
where like when he reached his peak as a heel
and Aw, we're not there anymore. He hasn't really had
that same level of momentum that his character had for
a while now. Joseph says, cherish, keep borrow and sell.
Let me just see if we are. We're not caught

(01:06:43):
up yet, Cherish, keep borrow sell on the best number
two promotions that came after the death of wcw AWT
and A Luca Underground Ring of Honor, I mean you
gotta go, I gotta go AW for me. It's Luca

(01:07:09):
Underground honestly, then Ring of Hoondor then TNA. Ryan Hood says,
A good God, mother, Wayne. You know there's a mother, Wayne,
super Chat, you didn't trigger it. It makes me very sad.
Joseph brooks buyer sella which promotional partner Slash Ownerships have

(01:07:33):
done the best using the luchadors WW and Triple A
or AW and CML I mean AW and CMLL. Today's
episode is sponsored by Hymns coming out of SummerSlam. Last week,
there was a wrestler in the news. I won't say who,

(01:07:54):
but he was talking about his hair loss and how
much it really affected him and his quality of life,
and how he wished he would have taken steps to
address the issue years ago. And you can understand why.
You know, it's a cosmetic business that they're in. This
person's on TV all the time, very visible, but there
are thousands of men out there going through the exact
same thing who are not public figures, they are not

(01:08:15):
on television in front of millions of people, but they
can still feel that same shame, and they shouldn't because
there's nothing to be ashamed of. Thinning hair is a
problem that affects lots of people, and if you happen
to be one of those people, you need to know that.

Seal Kiss from a Rose from Batman Forever? And did
you own the Batman Forever soundtrack? I did not own

(01:10:03):
the Batman Forever soundtrack, but I like the song. It
was very popular on the radio at one point, and
I was singing along. You know, Also, who is your
favorite character from Batman Forever? I don't know who was
in Batman Forever. I get them all mixed up. Batman
Forever was that the one with the Riddler? Jim Carrey

(01:10:28):
was that Batman Forever. I'll go with him. I can't
keep track of all these movies. There's so many fucking movies.
There's so many Batman movies with different Batman's and every
single one of them. I don't fucking know. If you
owned a wrestling company, would Psycho, Sid Vicious and Raven
be your top two stars that you would build your
wrestling company around. That's very oddly specific. Sid would be

(01:10:53):
Sid would be the guy sure Raven know Sid? Possibly? Yes?
What an odd combination though? Also, do you know, oh,
he's got a bunch of them? Holy shit, look at
Joseph Man. He is just on a tear tonight. Man.

(01:11:16):
Do you remember when Vanpiro shaved all of Raven's hair
off in TNA? I don't. Also, do you know why
Stone Cold Steve Austin was dressed up as Hull Cogan

(01:11:37):
cutting a promo in ECW. Yeah, because Hogan didn't want
to work with him in WCW. All those ECW promos
were just him venting all of his frustrations from his
WCW run. A terrible dried chicken without flavor with a
twelve dollars super chat by herself for a slap in
pro wrestling that looks very personal. Nunzio slapping brock Less

(01:12:00):
D're in the back of the head in twenty twenty
oh three, or Travis Scott busting Cody Roads in the
ear drum in twenty twenty five. I don't remember the
Nunzio one. Travis Scott was just not trained, not smartened up,
and just fucking slapped the shit at a Cody and

(01:12:21):
ruptured his ear drum, which was completely reckless and unnecessary
for him to do. So I'll go with the Travis
Scott one kind of by Defaultier Joseph says, buy or

(01:12:41):
sell Don West or Joey styles Don West. If WCW
was still around today, do you think Dominic Mysterio would
be in WCW instead of WWE. It's impossible to know.
I'm gonna say no, he would be in ww A.

(01:13:03):
That's where his father would want him, and that is
where his father would be, and that is where he
would be. Also, did you play any ECW video games?
I think they only had the one right from Acclaim
and no, I didn't play it. Here we got to see.
Now we're caught up. Look at that. If Raven was

(01:13:25):
still in WCW when Vince Russo joined, do you think
Raven would have become WCW champion under Vince Russo? I
can tell you're a very big Raven fan. I don't know.

(01:13:45):
I don't know what Russo's opinion was of Raven. Yeah,
don't I don't know. I'm gonna say no on that.
Ed Swaggle with thirty one months of channel membership a
sound of gamer idea. Take the best, be the booker
matches that you can possibly do in two K twenty five.

(01:14:09):
Do CPU versus CPU and commentate over them better than
doing the Tavish bs. Don't remind me of Tavish. That's
a potential idea that could be something what about me?

(01:14:33):
What about or what about one of them? Jack Cheng,
Bata Bing, Joseph Stewart, Buyer sell Hollywood Hogan or mister McMahon.
I'll assume you're talking top heels of all time and
not upstanding citizens. Top heel of all time is mister McMahon.

(01:15:00):
Dry Chicken says, brother Bro Brother Oose brov Bro. Wrestling
is a brotherhood. It is a very brotherly fraternity in
pro wrestling. When Zilla called me Oose the last time,

(01:15:21):
when I saw Zilla at the last Hog Show and
he was on a rampage after losing to Bully and
he called me Oose, I felt like I was officially
inducted into the uh. I'm now part of the family tree. Now.
I don't know where I fit in the family tree,
but I am officially an Oose. I'm honored. Doctor Scorpio says,

(01:15:47):
I honestly thought Tanahashi already retired. I didn't know he
was still wrestling. Doctor Scorpio is out to lunch. Apparently
his last match here, his last match there, last match
in the US I think was back in April. Has
been doing that all year. Come on, man, where have

(01:16:10):
you been? Joseph Stewart, in your opinion, do you think
Hulk Hogan is the greatest baby face or heel of
all time or his stone Cold the greatest baby face
of all time. I don't know who the greatest baby
face of all time is. Honestly, I just told you
who the greatest heel of all time is, so I've

(01:16:32):
already answered that one. Hogan to me, and I didn't
realize it as a kid, but it became more obvious
to me as the years went on that Hogan was
always a heel, but he was masquerading as a baby
face because even when he was a top babyface, he
was doing heel stuff all the time. Yeah, I don't

(01:16:54):
know who the greatest baby face of all time is.
I don't think it's not Hulk Hogan. I know it's
not Huole Cogan. Stone Cold is in the running. It's
so weird because Stone Cold never actually did anything to
be a babyface. Like, how do you define the greatest babyface?

(01:17:16):
What does that mean? Do they have to act like
a babyface where they don't take a short cut, they
don't cheat right, they're very honorable, do things the right way?
Or is it just based on whoever gets the loudest
reactions from the crowd. I don't even know what that means.

(01:17:36):
I don't know what the criteria is for that. There
have been a lot of great babyfaces. Ricky Steamboat. Ricky
Steamboat is one of the few top maybe the only
top name I could think of off the top of
my head. Who was never a heel? How many people
would really fall into that category. At one point he
wanted to go heal. He was such a great baby

(01:17:58):
face that Pat Patterson said, they'll never buy into it.
You can't go heal. It's not possible. You're too good
of a babyface. What about Steamboat? There you go? So

(01:18:21):
no one mentioned Ricky Steamboat. Can't you can't. You can't
ignore it. You can't ignore it. Joseph Stewart says, have
you seen the movie Small Soldiers? No? I have not.
Terrible Dried Chicken. Imagine MJF misses his flight on purpose

(01:18:47):
for forbidden door. He just no shows. I have to
send a ton of Hashi back out there. We need you,
We need you, a ton of hashi or Mash Terrible
Tried Chicken says, it's the good Son's scenario. Save one

(01:19:10):
and let the other one go. Mother Wayne or ash
by elegance, goodbye Ash. It was nice knowing you, Stephen.
Did you hear about the guy who dipped, who dipped

(01:19:35):
balls and glitter? Pretty nuts. That's something you did, didn't you.
It's okay, you can admit it. This sounds like something
Stephen may have tried. Brandon Proctor with the twenty one

(01:20:08):
congrats on eighty eight K. Did we hit eighty eight?
We were only a few away, but I have not
checked since I went live. Yes, we did, very cool.
Thank you for the update. Eighty eight thousand subscribers. Now
on to eighty nine, He says, here's to eighty nine K,

(01:20:32):
and the journey to one hundred continues. Either Osprey is
actually hurting, Tony Khan is going to let him wrestle,
or it's a bait and switch, which Tony Khan doesn't
normally do. Ospray, It's not an angle. Osprey's hurt. Osprey's hurt.
It is as serious as he said it was. That
is not a work. That is not a swerve, That

(01:20:53):
is not an angle. I don't know about the swerve injury,
but no, Osprey's hurt and they were allowing him to wrestle.
Joseph says, have you seen the Inspector Gadget movie with
Matthew Broderick as Inspector Gadget No. I was a big

(01:21:15):
fan of the cartoon when I was younger, so big
Inspector Gadget Guy loved the theme song for the show.
Had all the Toys? Never saw the movie? Also, have
you seen the movie Cruel Intentions with Sarah Michelle Gaeller
and Ryan Philippe and Reese Witherspoon and Selma Blair. Yes,

(01:21:40):
I did. I also saw Wild Thing wild Thing or
Wild Things with Nev Campbell Denise Richards. You know we
were talking about movie soundtracks before. The soundtrack to that
movie is a vibe. I like that soundtrack. Dry Chicken

(01:22:03):
says in an alternate universe the Rock instead of talking
about Mama Rhodes, he got his eyes on Mama Wayne. Well,
I don't think that Mother Wayne would be able to
resist the final boss. The Hurt Syndicate should invade New

(01:22:31):
Japan for gold. Well, they're going to lose their titles
at Forbidden Door, so then I guess after that, if
they want to, they can go after the IWGP Tag
Team titles. Emperor Comic sixth century BCE King created the

(01:22:55):
earliest known breakup letter. In short, he wasn't happy about
this lady visiting his friend a lot. The lady had
till the end of the month pick up her stuff. Okay,

(01:23:23):
thank you, Emperor. Comic sixth century BC BCE Joseph Stewart says,

(01:23:47):
what is your favorite scene in Batman Forever? Oh? My god, again,
I I let me see which one this was. It's
the one thinking of with mister Freeze. Uh yeah, I
think it was. Yeah, what Schwarzenegger is mister Freeze in

(01:24:11):
that movie with with with Jim Carrey. I don't have
a favorite scene from that movie. It's definitely not my
favorite Batman movie. Emperor comment, I'll hold the l I

(01:24:33):
went to articles to fact check my previous comment, but
a friend of mine said it wasn't true. My apologies,
so it was just like a random factoid. That's what
happens sometimes. It's the Internet, all good. Mactub. Do you

(01:25:01):
think Austin would have continued to draw as a megastar level,
at a megastar level like Rock if not for the
neck injury? And who would you like to see him
feud within the attitude era? Well, he's from the attitude era,
he says, ruthless aggression era. I think Austin and Randy
Orton would have been, but see Randy Orton when he

(01:25:23):
was a little more seasoned. Not two thousand and two
Randy Orton, but like two thousand and four. You know,
Orton worked that match with Mick Foley that was huge
for his career. I think him working with Austin would
have helped elevate his games. So, you know, Austin and
Randy Orton, Austin and brock lesnar Man. I would have

(01:25:45):
loved to see more matches with Austin and Kurt Angle.
Obviously Kurt was a machine like two thousand and two,
two thousand and three Kurt very different than two thousand
and one Kurt, which is when Austin worked with him.
So all of those match or matches I would have
loved to have seen. As far as would he have
continued to draw as a megastar. The heel turn. The

(01:26:10):
heel turn hurt him in two thousand and one. You know,
when he came back in two thousand and two, he
was still very popular, but it was not like the
he was off the peak. He was not going to
be at the level that he was previously. He still
would have been the top babyface in the company. Right
next to Rock. Rock went on to do movies, and

(01:26:30):
so that's why Rock came off as this big megastar.
I didn't see Austin going on to do movies like Rock.
Austin was doing these like B and C level movies.
And I'm not knocking him because I saw some of
those movies. I enjoyed some of those movies. But you
say megastar, Rock was a megastar because he started branching
out into Hollywood. That's not anything Austin would have been doing.

(01:26:53):
But there was definitely value in keeping Austin around. Had
he been able to stay healthy, he would have been
able to work with all those guys. Same thing with Brett.
If Brett didn't get hurt. If Brett didn't have the stroke,
Brett would have been back in w WE a lot
sooner than he was, and Brett would have been in
there working with Kurt Angle and brock Lesnar and Eddie
Guerrero and Chris Jericho and Randy Orton and John Cena

(01:27:17):
and Sean Michaels. They would have had another WrestleMania match.
We were deprived of all of these matches that Brett still,
you know, would have been able to have. Yeah, he
was older, but if he was healthy, think of all
the matches that we got we got screwed out of.

(01:27:38):
But I think Rock would have you know, as as
those years went on O two oh three, It's it's tough.
Rock wasn't full time. It's it just depends on if
Austin was full time or not. I think Rock's status
is his star status would have outshined Austin, so he
would have been a bigger star than him. Uh rank

(01:28:00):
the following WrestleMania main events three, seventeen and forty. I
mean in terms of like personal enjoyment, I would go
forty seventeen and three in terms of my own personal enjoyment,

(01:28:24):
obviously not anybody else's personal enjoyment, because I don't give
a shit, give a shit about my personal enjoyment. Terrible
dry Chicken, Mother, Wayne will Comfort, Chocolate, Stokely tonight you Joseph,

(01:28:50):
Joseph is a beast tonight. I don't know what's gotten
into Joseph, but I love it. Do you remember Seal's
Kiss from a Rose music video with Steal singing in
front of the bat signal and Batman Forever Seeing showed
in the music I do remember this you. I gotta say, man,
you are a huge fan of Batman forever. I think

(01:29:12):
like half a dozen different super chats from you tonight
have been about Batman forever. I could tell that it's
your favorite movie. That is not my favorite song, thank you, Eminem,
But I could tell I know exactly what your favorite
movie is. I do remember the music video. I do

(01:29:34):
you know I mentioned the other night? Was it last week?
Maybe we had that whole music discussion and I mentioned
Iris by the Google Dolls. I'm almost positive that there
was a music video. Maybe it was for the song,
but from that movie Fuck City of Angels was a

(01:29:59):
City of Angel with Meg Ryan. I don't know if
it was the official music video for the song or
something connected to the movie specifically, but I remember I
always associate that song with that movie. Eminem. Did someone
say Nick Wayne's Mom? Based on tonight's show, I think

(01:30:21):
Tony Kahan might need that head writer back, or at
least get someone that has more knowledge than him. Ronald
McDonald can run a better show than Tony Khan. Well,
what was your overarching issue with the show? He didn't
say what the issue was with the show. Drew Mackincock

(01:30:48):
with thirty months of membership, Buy or sell Demeter Bullian
or the guy who sent the Bukhaki forgot his name
the BUKACKI goes, that's Abusika. Of course, I'm gonna go
with my even though he hasn't popped up recently. I
gotta show love for our boy Abusika. Of course to

(01:31:10):
meet her. Bullying is on the other channel, eminem Encore.
Now that carrying, I mean Killer Across and Scarlet are
free agents. Could we see them at h og If
Scarlett starts back up her only fans, then there's a chance.
Wwe did not want to re sign them. All I'll

(01:31:31):
say is stay tuned. You never know what conversations are
happening taking place. I'm not really at liberty to discuss.
I would love to get them in. We'll see Joseph Stewart.

(01:31:55):
Did you know if Tim Burton had directed bah My God?
Did you know if Tim Burton had directed Batman Forever?
Michael Keaton would have played Batman, Billy D. Williams would
have played two Face, and Robin Williams would have played

(01:32:19):
the Riddler. Robin Williams as the Riddler sounds awesome, well,
now I wish Tim Burton had directed Batman forever. I
think Joseph has the deluxe edition of the DVD. All

(01:32:43):
the Bonus features Arabian Night, Great Cross interview with Ariel.
It's not a work AW Warts and All is the
best landing spot for him in my opinion, just in
terms of money and overall TV exposure, I disagree. I
don't think he would be good fit for AW. I mean, look,
if they're interested in him and he wants to go there,

(01:33:04):
I hope it works out. But in terms of like
Tony Kahn actually booking Killer Cross, I don't see it.
I don't see it. Doctor Scorpio barely been watching or
listening about any wrestling at all the past year or so,
so I did not know. My bad. Well, you got

(01:33:26):
to pay more attention to these streams. You don't have
to watch. I watch, so you don't have to. Just
got to keep up with the streams. Man, and of
course the main podcast, Terrible Dry Chicken will Osbury pulling
a Cody Rhodes during this lights out steel cage match, yeah,

(01:33:47):
I mean he's gonna do something insane. He's gonna do
something very, very stupid, and no one is going to
stop him there, that's the problems. Viz went to a
costume party dressed as a screwdriver. Turned a few heads.

(01:34:08):
Your driver, you get it, you turn yourn whatever, Thank
you deaths. That was a good one, turned a few heads.
Brandon Proctor by bait and switch, I mean him wrestling.

(01:34:32):
I ain't gonna make me go back and remind myself
what was said in the original super chat. So I
know what you're talking about. I see Ospry. Yeah, it's
not a bait and switch. That is something that Tony
Kahan does not do. He does not bait and switch

(01:34:53):
when he announces a match, unless somebody gets hurt and
he has to cancel the match, or there's travel problems
or something like. He doesn't bait and switch the audience.
So if he says will Ospreys wrestling at forbidden Door,
it's not a swerve. It's not an angle. You know.
They may do something to like try to limit what
he does in the match, But is he really gonna
limit himself to what he's gonna do in this match?

(01:35:17):
Of course not. He's gonna do something very stupid and
probably hurt himself even worse. Joseph Stewart Batman and Robin
was with Arnold Schwarzenegger as mister Freeze and Uma Thurman
as Poison Ivy okay, So that was the one I
was thinking of. Eminem with the twenty five, says Brian

(01:35:45):
Danielson's wife against Nick Wayne's mom. My Bookie should book
this fight. With rumors of Naomi possibly pregnant, does vacant
get the Women's World Championship? And do we see a
multi women's match at Clash in Paris? Let's wait until
tomorrow and see what the situation is instead of spreading

(01:36:09):
rumors about whether she is or isn't if not, Eo
Sky against Stephanie Vicaire is just right there. It's right there.
You don't need to do anything else right there. You
don't need some multi person fucking gauntlet, fucking you know,

(01:36:31):
overbook match. It's as simple as simple could be. But
Naomi and Jimmy usso recorded a podcast interview with Stephanie
McMahon that is dropping tomorrow, so I suspect we will
know more about this tomorrow. Gives goo, says damn. Did

(01:36:58):
Jimmy get jealous of Naomi? Maybe that's what happened Jimmy's like, man,
she's more over than I am. I'll fix this. They
don't call me Big Jim for nothing. Mactub, What did
Triple H lack to be the guy like Sina and Roman?

(01:37:22):
He's boring, there's nothing interesting about him. His promos were boring.
It's a fine wrestler, but there are guys that have it.
You cannot define what it is. You either have it
or you do not have it. He did not have
it in the same way that the Rock had it.
He did not have it in the same way that

(01:37:44):
Hogan had it. He didn't have charisma the way that
Hogan and Rock had. Charisma is a very big part
of it. Triple H had charisma in his own way.
There's different forms of charisma. But I always said, for years,
I've always said he was the guy who worked with
the guy. Even when they positioned him on top as
the guy, he was the guy who worked with the guy.

(01:38:07):
And that's not a bad spot to be in. Not
everybody can be you know, a number one, Not everybody
can be the guy. Whatever it is that they had,
he didn't have. No matter how hard Wwe tries to
convince you that he had it. He did not. Joseph Steward,

(01:38:29):
did you know ed beg Is it Bigley or Begley?
It was Begley Junior was in Batman Forever. He played
the Riddler's boss. Yeah, I'm pretty sure I did know
that he was in that movie. I mean I saw
the movie. I just I don't remember who was in
some of these minor roles in the movie. But yeah,

(01:38:51):
that's right he was. Was he a scientist or something
like at the beginning, He's not the one that Jim
Carrey rolled out out the window of the skyscraper? Is
he doctor Scorpio was gonna make another clock pun? But

(01:39:13):
I didn't want to waste your time. Sorry, I hate
to I hate to nitpick. But he spelled it w
A I s t w A ST. I'm just saying

(01:39:34):
Joseph with A five. Uh. Let's see here. Uh we
have Frost better off without w w A, at least
promo wise. If he goes back, he's going to be
jobbed into oblivion. If not, sorry, if this was covered already. Yeah,

(01:39:58):
but he wants to go back to w W. He
didn't want to leave like he wants to go back.
He's holding out hope that they'll be able to have
a conversation and he'll go back and Scarlett will go back.
So I mean that's what that's what he wants. Do
I see things being different for him if he goes back. No,
because again, if Triple H was was interested in doing

(01:40:21):
something more with him than he would have I mean,
look at look at our truth. He was fired, they
weren't going to use him anymore. They brought him back,
And what has he done since he came back? Right?
I mean, he's pretty much right back to where he was.
It's not going to be any different with Cross. And

(01:40:41):
if he's okay with that, then hey, you know, if
he's happy being in WWE and that's where he wants
to be, then good for him. But if he was
to suddenly get an offer and he took it and
he went back, I mean, anybody who thinks he's going
to be in a really different position than the one
he was in before, you're fooling yourself. Boots. Who would

(01:41:06):
win in a TLC match between George Washington, Thomas Jefferson,
and John Adams. I'll hang up and listen, and that
John Adams, you know, he's a nasty piece of business.
I've heard stories about that guy. I'm gonna go with.

(01:41:29):
I'm gonna go with John Adams, Duffs VIDs. I like
to give a shout out to all the sidewalks out
there for keeping off the streets. That's the one you
end with. Duffs. Come on, man, come on, mane you

(01:41:52):
could do better than that. Well, we are currently at four,
so we did hit the be the booker goal. So
give yourselves a round of applause. We get to do
one round tonight, one round for everyone in the bar.

(01:42:12):
Let's do it, and let's see what happens. Ladies and gentlemen.
It is now time to be the booker. Let's see
what happens. Let's see how things go. Let's get things

(01:42:34):
started out on the right foot with these two men
right here, the Rock and Roll Express, Ricky Morton Robert Gibson,
one of the all time great tag teams right here.
Talk about super over. These guys were super over. And
it will be the Rock and Roll Express taking on

(01:42:56):
Sting and Darby Allen, This father and son. That's just
every time I see this image, I just laugh. Sting
and Darby against the Rock and Roll Express. Some some

(01:43:17):
good wrestling. Right there. All right, ladies, time we have
jazz who likes some jazz. I like some jazz myself,

(01:43:39):
and I like this even better jazz against Chris Statlander.
That sounds good to me. That sounds damn good to me.
Let's keep this ball rolling. We're going in the We're
going in the right direction here. This is gonna end

(01:44:00):
really well. I can feel it. In our main event,
we have the Triple A Mega Champion El Ejdel Vi Kingo,
who's going to be defending his title this Saturday at
triple Mania, in fact, against all ww E stars. He's

(01:44:21):
the only Triple A talent in the match. But before
he gets to Triple Mania, Vi Kingo is in the
main event here and be the book. I just hope
he doesn't get hurt. He's going to hurt his knee tonight.
His name, He's going to be out of Triple Mania,
Let's hope. Not The Kingo against Demon Ballor. That's clean

(01:44:49):
sweep right there, Demon Balor, look at him before he
got killed off by Roman Reigns. Demon Balor and the Kingo.
How about that? Not bad? Not bad? Hell fucking yes,

(01:45:12):
says GTA. How's this for a random trivia effect for you.
It's kind of crazy for me to think that I
actually had to make the save. I had to make
the save on a hog show once for Vi Kingo.
Believe it or not. Yeah, how's that for wacky? The

(01:45:35):
King goes okay in my book? Yes, Valor is also
on the Triple A Show. He is not in that
main event though, but he is teaming with the other
members of the Judgment Day to take on Who are
they taking on? Is it Psycho clown, mister Iguana? And

(01:46:02):
I forgot the other? Oh yeah, I don't remember. I
don't remember who the other members, but yeah, they're on
the show. No, I did not know. I did not
kick anyone's ass. He was getting his ass kicked and
I came out to put a stop to it. So

(01:46:24):
you're welcome, VI Kingo, Joseph Stewart. Were you a fan
of the Caesar Romero version of the Joker? Was that
from the Adam West Batman Show? Right? Yes? I was
actually Duff's VIDs. Was gonna try to redeem himself here.

(01:46:56):
What does a burnt pizza, frozen beer, and a pregnant
woman have in common? Someone forgot to pull it out.
Rosen beer, burnt pizza and a pregnant woman. Wow, doctor Scorpio.

(01:47:33):
We used to get be the booker on Wednesdays easily.
Now it's a struggle to barely get one round. But
everything is great. Thanks TK Lol. Well such is the
case with Dynamite these days. But what the hell are
you gonna do? Joseph Stewart. Did you know if Tim

(01:47:55):
Burton directed Batman Forever, Michelle Pfeiffer would have returned as Catwoman.
Well it's too bad she didn't, because I loved Michelle
Pfiffer as Catwoman. Michelle Pfeiffer in that tight leather they
knew what they were doing. They knew what they were
doing when they cast her in that role. I loved
her as Catwoman and terrible dried Chicken. The Rock and

(01:48:22):
Roll Express against Sting and Darby, but the winning team
gets to stay at the Playboy Mansion. I wouldn't be
surprised if the Rock and Roll Express made a trip
or two to the Playboy Mansion back in the day.
They would have been a big hit. I don't know
that Hugh would have appreciated it, though, Thank you, my friend,

(01:48:49):
and Joseph as well. Joseph my god. I mean, he
dropped so many Batman related messages and trivia notes tonight.
You know he's he's probably very disappointed that the next
Batman movie is not coming out until twenty twenty seven.
I still have not seen The Batman with Robert Pattinson,

(01:49:14):
so I've got plenty of time, I guess, to catch
up on it before the next one comes out. The
new Jason Vorhees short, Sweet Revenge is live. Oh you
know what I forgot about that? Yeah? Yeah, I gotta

(01:49:36):
make a note, make a note to check that out.
I'm a big fan of some of the fan made films.
They're several years old at this point, but there's there's
one in particular that I really really enjoyed. And the
name escapes me, but they have and it's very well
produced too. It looks like very professionally done. But they're
like short films that are fan made, and there's some

(01:49:59):
good Friday the third teenth ones. If you search around
on YouTube Sweet Revenge. I will check that out, in
fact that I might do that when we're done here.
Did I see the cross interview on Ariel today? I

(01:50:20):
saw clips from me. Yes, we'll talk about that on
the sound of I've still not seen the one before
Dark Knight. Oh that was Batman begins. Yeah, The Dark
Knight is my favorite movie of all time. The way
that Joseph feels about Batman Forever, that's how I feel

(01:50:41):
about The Dark Knight. And here he is again. I
forgot this, Joseph says. Marlon Ways was supposed to play
Robin and Batman Forever if Tim Burton had directed Batman Forever. Boy,
Tim Burton had a very different vision for this film,
didn't he Never Hike in the Snow? That might have

(01:51:05):
been the one I was thinking of. That might have
been the Friday the thirteenth movie the fan made one.
I was thinking of, never Hike in the Snow. That
sounds familiar. Thank you for helping me get to eighty
eight thousand subscribers. Tonight. We will be back live here

(01:51:28):
on Friday night for the SmackDown post show, and then
of course on Sunday for episode nine twenty five. I
believe we're up to of the sound off. Nine to
twenty four is up if you didn't catch it. There's
a lot of news on that show, so thank you
for all the positive feedback on that. Please go check
that out and support all of our sponsors. A lot

(01:51:52):

ExpressVPN link, especially with these European shows coming up in
the next couple of weeks that WWE is going to
be doing. There may be some earlier reviews for Raw
and Smackdowns, or at least Raw, so just be aware
of that. I'll keep you guys posted if the schedule changes,
which it probably will, and I'll be watching with my

(01:52:14):
