Speaker 1 (00:00):
This was the final Wednesday Night residency here the twenty
three hundred Arena for a while. Actually, I guess Collision
would be, but the final Dynamite at the twenty three
hundred Arena. This this is I think the third week
that they have had this building packed in nine hundred
people whatever it is. And so we end up with
(00:21):
another All Star main event tag team match, but this
time we had money on the line. Oh boy, yeah,
we had five hundred thousand dollars up for grabs in
the All Star eight was eight man? How many people
were in there? Ten man? I don't fucking know. There
(00:44):
were a lot of people in there. You would think
that Tony Kahan might have taken something away from the
fact that last week's show did record low numbers for
Dynamite with another one of these All Star multi person
main event matches, but instead, evidently not, because we got
it again here in the main event, only this time
with five hundred thousand dollars on the line. And when
(01:05):
it was over, it was all to build to Daniel
Garcia joining the Death Riders, the man who tried to
do things the right way and it just didn't work
out for him. He kept losing and losing and losing,
until finally he was corrupted by the evil John Moxley,
(01:27):
who has convinced him to join the Death Riders, which
means the Death Riders have grown by one. We are
now officially adding new members to the Death Riders. When
we submede we should be subtracting from the Death Riders.
We are only growing this group now, which is terrible news.
And also Daniel Garcia proceeds to deliver a curb stomp
(01:51):
that was supposed to be onto a chair. Darby moved,
he moved to the right or the left or whatever
it was. It was bad that they had to redo
the spot. This was supposed to be like the big
impactful spot where he was going to drive this man
face first right down into a steel chair. And then
Darby just goes down into the mat and Garcia is
(02:12):
standing there and he's looking at Moxley like, I think
we need to redo the spot. So they redid the
spot and then they got it done the right way
and then they flet and that is how the show
went off the air tonight. You know, my thoughts on
adding new members to the Death Riders. I am not
a fan of it Daniel Garcia coming out of the
end of the show, pulling his hood down to reveal
(02:33):
himself to you know, the most mild reaction that you
could possibly ask for. I would say it was funny
if it wasn't just kind of deflating honestly. As a
show closing angle does beg the question though, is Chris
Statlander going to follow, because we've had teases of her
(02:53):
being recruited by the Death Riders as well. They got
their one new male member. We might get a new
female member as well to the Riders very soon. We
also have our AW World Championship match now official for
All Out. He's going to be Hangman Adam Page, and
I think we kind of knew this is what I
said last week. Some people thought maybe Kenny Omega would
(03:16):
be back in time. We get Omega and Fletcher. They
did the angle last week to write him off TV.
As we now know, it'll be Hangman Page defending the
AW World Championship in Toronto on September twentieth against the
Proto Star TNT champion Kyle Fletcher. They're putting him in
a position to challenge for the world title that he
(03:36):
will not win obviously, it's a big spot for him
to be in. It's a big opportunity for him to
go out there show what he can do against the
world champion. So that match is now official. Most of
the other matches on the show tonight did what I
would say was a perfectly serviceable, perfectly average job of
(03:59):
building to you know, some of the other matches that
are coming up on the pay per view. Nothing that
had me terribly excited, though for this All Out show
coming up. We get great matches on every AW pay
per view. I can't say that this show that's coming
up as it currently stands. We don't have the final
card yet, of course, but the card as it currently stands,
(04:22):
there's really nothing about it that jumps out at me
that that screams, you know, anything different than I would
get from you know, some of the more recent AW
pay per views, and less so because at least some
of those there were some major stories that they were
building to, especially in Texas at All In, and I'm
not really feeling that right now for All Out. There's
(04:43):
still you know, a little bit of time left and
the card is not yet complete. But again, I can't
say that I'm gonna sit here and say that I'm
as excited as I was, you know, going into all
out in previous years. They're assembling a card. You know,
we've got certain stories playing out, certain feuds playing out,
Ricochet and the Gates of Agony and the Hurt Syndicate. Okay,
(05:05):
MJF and Mark Briscoe, we're not going to know what
the stipulation is for their match until Collision this Saturday.
MJF was not on the show tonight. Copeland and Christian
against FTR. I don't know what we're doing here. There
was no Copra Christian on the show tonight, but there
was a segment with FTR and Stokely Hathaway. I'm still
(05:25):
confused as to exactly what this was supposed to be,
other than FTR and Dax's Harwood going out there and
trying to play tough guy with the with the big
bad fans in the old ECW arena. I have no
fucking idea what the point of that segment was. I mean,
it was just a bizarre segment that did nothing to
further the story with them in Copeland and Christian. So
(05:47):
that was very weird, But what more can they do?
The tag team titles are not on the line in
that match. It's a grudge match, right, Cope and Christian
banding together to take on Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler.
Sure it'll be a great match, but what more can
(06:07):
be done between now and then? It feels like there's
not much left to do at this voice. Then you
end up with segments like the one that we had
on the show tonight. One person who was not on
the show, and I do want to address this. His
name was never mentioned. He was not on the show tonight.
He was not on the show last week, and that
(06:27):
is Wardlow. And I asked the question last week, I said,
have you seen this man? Where is this man? He
made his big return after a year and a half
at Forbidden Door. He joined the don Kallis family. He
showed up on that first Dynamite coming out of Forbidden Door,
but he was fixing his cup links and he was
adjusting his suit jacket and he was standing like the
(06:49):
hired help in the background. What are we doing here?
And then we find out this past week and again
aw and Tony Kann have not made any kind official
announcement generally on this stuff. They don't. They keep it
very close to the vest, but there was a report
from Fightful. Others have confirmed it that there is an
(07:09):
injury with Wardlow. Wardlow has not wrestled the match yet.
He made one that one appearance at Forbidden Door, and
the fear is that he may have torn his pectoral muscle,
which if he did, depending on the severity of the tear,
means we're not going to be seeing Wardlow at least
not in the ring, but we may not be seeing
Wardlow for a while. He may go right back on
(07:33):
the shelf where he was before. If this guy didn't
have bad luck, he would have no luck at all.
I don't even know what to say. Like when I
read the report and I saw the Fightful report about this,
I had to do a double take because I thought
it was a joke. I thought it was like KFE
news or something. I'm like, injured, he just came back.
(07:57):
What has he even done? What do you mean injured?
Evidently he got injured on the first move that he
did when he closedlined Prince Nana at Forbidden Door, after
which he hit an F five on someone, he hit
a power bomb on someone, He did some stuff. No
indication that he was injured in any way, adrenaline is
(08:19):
a hell of a drug until it wears off. But
apparently that's where the injury took place. The specific nature
of it not yet confirmed, but that was the fear.
The fear is that it could be a peck tear.
I guess we'll wait to see what the update on
that is. But evidently we're not going to be seeing
Wardlow for a while. And what that means for, you know,
(08:43):
his future, I don't know. I honestly don't know. Because
before we saw Wardlow at Forbidden Door, I had completely
forgotten about him. He was forgotten. Then he showed up
and I was happy to see him, and I was
happy for him, and I'm sure he was happy to
be back. And then you hear about this and I
(09:04):
feel bad for him, and I wish him well and
you know, happy healing, and hopefully he can come back.
At this point, I think the idea of him eventually
reaching what I thought his potential would be in aw
I don't see it happening. I just don't see it happening.
I My hope for him is that he can come back.
(09:25):
If he wants to wrestle, he can come back, and
he can have a productive career. You know, he can
have a solid, productive career in the ring. But I
think this idea that one day he's going to reach
the pinnacle, you know, no pun intended, or you know,
be a top champion in AW with each passing year
(09:46):
and each injury, and it just seems less and less likely.
Kind of, if it's within reach, it gets farther and
farther away. And I hate that for him, but that's
just that's just the way it is. You know, these
are the circumstances that have befallen him, So hopefully he
could just come back and just produce for them in
(10:07):
some way. I've given up on wondering, you know what
his ceiling is. His ceiling is whatever his ceiling is
going to be. But he's got to be healthy in
order to be able to get back in the ring
and actually do that. So it sucks. But that's why
we don't see him on the show now, and we
(10:27):
will not be seeing him on the show for a while.
This is your AW Dynamite review. It is Wednesday, September tenth,
twenty twenty five. I am the Solemn Monster. Thank you
for being with me. Brian Danielson. He is now a
full time official member of the Dynamite broadcast team. We
found out about this last week. The only question was
were they going to make it a four man team,
(10:49):
which would have been ridiculous, or was he going to
replace someone. If you replace someone, that someone would have
to be Tony Shamani, because you're not going to get
rid of X caliber. If he's your play by play
guy and Taz is great, why are you going to
replace Taz? Tony Shavani is already doing play by play
on Collision. Just keep him on Collision and on Dynamite.
(11:10):
He can do in ring interviews, backstage interviews probably the
odd in ring interview because backstage is pretty much that's
Renee's realm. She's pretty much doing all the backstage stuff
and every now and then Alicia Toot will pop up,
but I think she's on her honeymoon right now. So
Brian Danielson came out. I think this is a great move.
(11:31):
I thought he was very good tonight. You know, he
brings an insight to it as somebody who not only wrestled,
but wrestled at a very high level. It was a
very big name, and it gives him an opportunity since
he's done wrestling forever. No, I mean forever is a
long time, but he's basically when I say he's retired,
I don't mean that we're never going to see him
(11:52):
back in the ring again, but he's basically retired. So
this gives him an opportunity to still be a part
of it in some active way. And I think that,
you know, he's able to contribute certain things on commentary
that you won't get from a Tony Shavanni. So I
like the move, and he did indeed replace Shavanni. So
we only have a three man booth, which is fine,
(12:14):
But as soon as Danielson sat down, what did they do?
They trotted out don Kallis for the opening match, so
we ended up with a four booth anyway here, and
the opening match was Hangman Adam Page, the aw World champion,
opening the show one on one and what they billed
as a grudge match. This was advertised all week as
(12:35):
a grudge match against Josh Alexander. Now it was Hangman,
so I was thinking grudge match. It was Hangman who
beat Alexander when Alexander made his debut back in April
in the owen Hart Tournament. So This man evidently has
been harboring a grudge for about five months now, but
(12:55):
also on the Hangman side after what happened to Kenny
Omega la week, even though it was Kyle Fletcher really
who did it to him, Alexander being a part of
the same crew, they called it a grudge match. Fine
Hangman dodged a running crossbody from Alexander, tried to moon
Salt off the apron into a tombstone, but Alexander slid
(13:17):
out into an ankle lock. Page escaped, clotheslined him over
the barricade into the front row, and Alexander, though he
got in some brief offense after this, got sent back
to the floor. Page hit a slingshot plancha. Alexander created
enough space to recover. He dragged Hangman outside and successfully
connected with a brainbuster to the apron. He did this
(13:39):
while standing on the floor, so it wasn't as devastating
as if he were standing on the apron doing that.
Later in the match, Alexander fought off a dead eye
and a buckshot, countering into rolling Germans until Hangman pulled
them both to the apron. Alexander held on with another
German still maintained the grip. He wanted one more German
(14:03):
in the aisleway. Hangman, though, was able to flip over
lands on his feet and then dropped him with an
exploder into the guardrail. Both men beat the count back
in before ten Alexander ran into a pop up lagerbomb
for a near fall, and then as both men fought
up the ropes, Alexander managed an avalanche rolling fireman's carry
(14:23):
that's a mouthful. Only got two though before sinking in
the ankle. Lock Page got the ropes. Both men went
back to the apron. Alexander wanted to see four spike.
Page though countered into a dead eye and then hit
the Orijara moonsalt out on the floor. So Don Kallas
(14:45):
is running distraction now on the referee Lance Archer and
Rocky Romero. They tried to intervene. They failed too successfully intervene.
Romero got back dropped off the apron onto Archer. Yeah,
they remind me of those cartoon villain henchman. You know,
you tell them like get him, and they can never
(15:05):
do it. It's like the gang that can't shoot straight.
They always fuck up. That's basically their role here in
the callous family. Page connected with the buck shot Lariyot
and he pinned Alexander to put the match away. So
it was a good opener, predictable finish. I mean, we
knew coming into this show that Alexander was not the
one who was getting the championship match in Toronto. They
(15:27):
didn't make it official until actually this next segment, but
I think we knew coming in that he was not
going to be the callous member who was challenging for
the title. It all out. He was somebody that hangman
can beat before he gets to the actual challenger. And
on that note, we had an angle here. When the
match was over, Page took the microphone. He said that
(15:48):
he didn't spill a gallon of his blood to win
the aw World title just to have someone like MJF
change the stipulation to his matches. He didn't give everything
he's had to this title to have someone associated with
the Don Kallis family getting involved. The most important word
in aw IS Wrestling Page is the All Elite Wrestling
(16:12):
Men's World Champion. Kyle Fletcher walked out with Don Kallus
saying that it was a nice sentiment to have, but
it doesn't matter. While Page holds the title the callous
Family runs AW sure feels like it, and he brings
up his challenge on Collision Fletcher he threw down the
gauntlet on Collision for a championship match. It all out,
(16:36):
so Page said, Fletcher is lucky to not have his
ass flighted out of here after what he did to
Omega last week, but he understands it. Fletcher wanted to
make a point, so Page told him to get in
the ring and face him eye to eye, and Fletcher
whispered to don kallis I got this and he got
into the ring. Page said that when he looks at Fletcher,
(16:57):
he sees potential, but he also see someone who can't
put on a pair of socks, and they showed that
he was wearing loafers with no socks. This guy thinks
he's the rock. Page put over Fletcher for being built
like a brick shit house, someone who has all the
tools to be the future, even seeing himself and him
(17:20):
like when he stood across the ring from Chris Jericho
in the early days of AW Chris Jericho nam Drop.
Page said that Fletcher isn't ready though, which Fletcher said, Oh,
I've heard this before. I've heard this my entire life.
He goes, I'm twenty six years old. My prime is
when I say it is, and that's right now. Page said,
if Fletcher truly wants it, he'll give him a shot.
(17:42):
He will give him the shot at all out. But
he needs to do it himself. If he's going to
do it, he needs to earn it without the Callus family.
So Fletcher said, you know what, Hangman might think that
makes a difference, but he doesn't need anybody to beat him.
So he has his word that it all out. It'll
be one on one and he will not fail time
(18:03):
after time like Hangman did before he finally won the championship.
And he said that Hangman will say his full name.
So as we sat, as we saw later on in
the show with Ricochet and the Gates of Agony, a
heel giving their word is completely worthless. It doesn't mean anything.
(18:26):
So the fact that he's saying, you have my word,
I'm not gonna have anybody from the Kallus family at
ringside to help me out, it doesn't mean shit. Okay,
but let's take him at his word. Let's say he's
telling the truth. If anything, I think they actually in
the eyes of some may have made the match less
interesting now because while I could appreciate there being no interference,
(18:46):
it's almost like Continental rules. Nobody believes that Kyle Fletcher
is going to win the championship. Less people believe that
Kyle Fletcher is going to win the championship in a
fair fight. If he was to have any chance of
winning the championship, it would be because somebody would interfere
on his behalf. So I don't know that that's necessarily
(19:09):
going to inspire people to think that maybe we're gonna
have a title change here. If anything, I think it
does the opposite. But for Kyle Fletcher, you know, if
he goes in there, then he has a competitive match,
a great match twenty five minutes, thirty minutes, and fall short, right,
it doesn't do damage to him. Him working with the
(19:30):
world champion, going out there and having a competitive match
is only going to raise his stock that much higher.
It is not the most attractive World Championship match they
could be doing. It really isn't the right time for
Kyle Fletcher to be wrestling for the world title. That's
a shoot, But he is, and so he gets to
go out there now show the world what he can do.
(19:52):
He's not going to win, but hopefully he'll be able
to come out of it in a better position than
he was going into it. It's not what I would do.
I would not be taking my TNT champion in this
situation and putting him up against the world champion in
a match that he has no chance of winning. But
this is the match that they're doing because they're putting
off the MJF stuff in the contract for a little
(20:14):
while longer, so it's an opportunity for him to go
out there and have a great show because throughout the
year they've been taking steps with him, going back to
the cage match with Osprey. When this year is over,
we will look back at it as the year that
Kyle Fletcher really did come into his own as a
single star. This was really the year that launched him
to that next level. Right, he's not yet at the
(20:36):
top level, but if he was down here, now he's here,
and then in twenty twenty six, that'll be a year
for him to go up, you know, climb up to
the next rung of the ladder. Take your time with him,
because they really have created and again I don't mean
this in a derogatory way, but they've created something out
of nothing. Kyle Fletcher was one half of a tag team.
(20:59):
Now he is a legitimate single star in this company.
He never has to go back to being a tag
team wrestler ever again. Now they aired footage of Kenoski
Takeshta defeating I'm gonna talk about him later, but they
aired footage of Takeshta defeating Mark Briscoe on Collision with
the surprise assist from MJF who showed up on the
(21:21):
Saturday show. As I said what I said last week,
I said, I'm guessing that MJF is going to show
up as a surprise on Collision. And this whole thing
about Kyle Fletcher defending the TNT title against Mark Briscoe.
If Briscoe can just beat Takeshta, he already beat Lance Archer.
Now he's just got to beat Takeshta. He was never
getting a shot at the TNT title. This was always
(21:44):
going to be designed to get us to Briscoe and
MJF one more time, and so they shot the angle
on Saturday. Now we come back with footage from MJF
after the show. This is not live, but it was
after the show on Saturday. He's pacing around in the
parking lot. He said his wedding was the day before,
and his wife asked him, where are you going? Because
(22:05):
he was headed out the door, and you know, she's wondering,
where are you going. We're supposed to go on our honeymoon,
and he told her their honeymoon can't start until Mark
Briscoe is dead. His wife said, if you leave right now,
we're done. They just got married, and MJF started laughing
and he told and I quote that silly little bitch
(22:29):
that he was married well before he ever met her,
because he's married to the game and he's ready to
make Mark Briscoe's life a living hell. Whatever stipulation Briscoe
chooses for their match, it all out this Saturday on
Collision is when we're going to find out what that is.
MJF will say exactly what he told his wife on
their wedding day. I do, I do, By God, I do,
(22:54):
And I throw it out to you. What do you
think the stipulation is going to be. I'm sure it'll be.
I'm sure it will be some hardcore Exactly what it is, though,
I don't know we do know Darby Allen and John
Moxley are wrestling it all out in a coffin match,
so that match is now official. Rene was backstage. She
(23:15):
was in catering along with many other aw talents and
catering I should say it was basically it looked just
like a tent in the parking lot. That's how it
is at the old ECW Arena. I guess actually it
looked like if you were going to a wedding reception
for someone. It was kind of set up that way.
(23:35):
But she's with the Young Bucks, who said that when
they win the five hundred thousand dollars tag team match tonight,
they're not going to be eating awful food anymore. They're
going to be traveling first class. They're going to be
eating Caviarenck Jackson said he's going to be hitting the
casino to try to double his money. So they tried
to sit down then at they have like these cafeteria
tables like they're back in high school or prison, and
(24:00):
they're trying to sit down. The Dark Order. The Dark
Order is there. It was the last time we saw
them on Dynamite. They're sitting around. Actually, this is real
life shit. Right here. This is exactly where you would
expect them to be during Dynamite, sitting in catering. So
they try to take a seat next to the dark
order they get rejected. So then they spot their old pal,
Brandon Cutler sitting there and they try to be chummy
(24:24):
with him, and he says, you know, I've been waiting
to say this for a long time. Shut up, young Bucks.
Then he got up and he walked off, so he
doesn't want to have anything to do with him either.
John Moxley then walks in, takes a seat next to them,
puts his feet up on the table. All the extras
in the background, all the enhancement guys. They start scurrying
(24:47):
around and leaving like they're scared shitless that John Moxley
has showed up. And Moxley reminds the Bucks who the
hell they are, and he promised them two hundred and
fifty thousand dollars apiece, so basically giving up the death
Riders share of the of the winnings in the main event.
Because the main event is a five hundred thousand dollars match,
He's willing to give all five hundred thousand to the
(25:10):
two of them. And they just split it if they
show up for the main event and they show up
as the old Young Bucks. So, look, I will say this,
at least here with the Bucks, they were incorporating the
money because it's very look, it's very dumb. Whenever Tony
Kahn advertises these random fucking matches four hundred thousand dollars,
(25:32):
this six hundred thousand dollars that two hundred thousand. Who
gives a shit. It's not like it's ever played up
in any major, meaningful way. But here it does play
into the Young Bucks story because they've been down on
their luck, right, They've they've just been down in the
dumps ever since they got stripped of their EVP titles,
and they're not traveling in the way they use to travel.
(25:53):
They're not living this extravagant lifestyle anymore. And so now
they have hope because oh my god, half a million
dollars is on the line in this main event. This
could be just what we need, you know, to turn
our fortunes around. At least it feeds into their storyline.
Now we had Mercedes Monet and Emmy Soaker teaming up
(26:15):
to take on Alex Windsor and ReHO ReHO returned on
Dynamite last week. We had not seen Riho in about
fourteen months. She returned on Dynamite. Within two minutes, we
had a graphic. Tony Kahn had the graphic ready to
go for all out Riho and Mercedes Mone for the
(26:35):
TBS Championship. Sure doesn't make any sense, no, but sure,
as I've been saying, she's a warm body, she's a
warm body to go in there and lose to Mercedes
the next victim on the list, that you can add
her name to the list and get her that much
(26:57):
closer to being the longest rating TVs champion of all
time because she's already beaten most of the other women
on the roster. So Mercedes and Emmy came out together.
Emmy was carrying and wearing half of mercedes titles because
she cannot carry them. She cannot physically carry all of
them around all the time, so at least here she
(27:18):
had somebody else who could carry half of her belts.
So they came out and Emmy Soccer by the way,
they dusted her off. We have not seen Emmy Soccer
in a long time. But the reason that she was
here and Mercedes wanted her as her partner is because
Emmi Sokra is the one who trained ReHO, hence the
reason why they they blew the dust off and pulled
(27:40):
her down off the toy shelf to use here in
this match. So this was Riho's first match on Dynamite
since March of last year, So that's a trivia question.
What do Wardlow and ReHO have in common? The last
time they both wrestled on Dynamite in March of twenty
(28:01):
twenty four. That's about the only thing that Wardlow and
ReHO have in common. They also mentioned that this was
Emmy Soccer's first match on Dynamite since October, ironically enough,
against Mercedes Monet. Now they're tag team partners, so Soccer
applanted ReHO with a slam early on. Riho was able
(28:22):
to bridge out. She delivered a drop kick and a
Tiger faint kick before tagging in Alex Windsor. She baited
Mercedes in. They doubled up on her for a little bit.
Riho was back in with a half crab on Emmy
Monette pulled her partner to the floor during the commercial break.
Mercedes in Emmy, they isolated Riho, who fought free, she dove.
(28:46):
She made the hot tag Windsor ran wild with a
lariat on the Mercedes, who kicked free from a sharpshooter attempt,
could not avoid a stun gun. With Monette hung up
in the ropes, ReHO delivered a top rope double stomp
and then a sliding drop kick for two. We got
an awkward leg sweep slammed by Riho on soccer Mercedes
(29:09):
done made the save. Soccero wanted her finish. ReHO escaped
sank in a half crab. At the same time, Alex
trapped Mercedes in the ropes with a sharpshooter, and meanwhile
Emmy was trapped in her own submission and she tapped
out to ReHO. So not only is Riho back, Riho
(29:32):
is tapping people out. She's a dangerous woman. I didn't
realize Riho was so dangerous. Ninety eight pounds of fury
here now. At the same time that Emmi Soccero was
tapping out, so was Mercedes. Mercedes was not the legal woman,
but as she was trapped in the ropes and the sharpshooter,
she was tapping out. In case you missed it, this
(29:54):
was what you would expect given the fact that Riho
is the one challenging for the TBS title at the
the pay per views, of course, and made sense for
her to go over here in this match. Once they
announced that Emmy Soccer was randomly returning on Dynamite, It's like, Okay,
you have one job. Your only job in this match
is to show up and do the honors for Rijo
(30:15):
and put her over. And that's what she did. Beyond that,
I have nothing else to say about this now. Renee
was backstage with Ricochet and the Gates of Agony and
he spoke about the Hurt Syndicate, calling them cowards, but
he wanted a gentleman's agreement. They just wanted one on
one match. That's what he wants tonight. He wants it
(30:38):
one on one with Shelton, Benjamin and himself at all out.
When their hands are raised in victory, the Hurt Syndicate
will have no choice but to respect them. And that
is not a choice, that is a demand. And Renee
also delivered a video package on the FTR Christian Cage
Adam Copeland feud. She narrated it stokely half theway then
(31:00):
marches out of the end of the video package. He
marches out. This was the weird segment of the night.
He marches out, Dax is there with him, Cash is
there with him. Stokely said that video package was bullshit.
FTR is the greatest tag team in the world. They're
gonna win it all out and every week, Stokely says
(31:23):
he hears the same thing. Shut up, Stokely, you don't
get any hose despite hearing that everyone in the twenty
three hundred arena looks like extras from Roseanne, so no
one ain't getting no hose, which is probably very true.
Dax Harwood then speaks up and he says, you know,
this could have and it should have been a dream match,
(31:46):
But he said that he's heard enough of the fans
wanting to fight, so let's fight. And he gets up
in the face of one fan in the front row
who's right up in his face, looks like he's ready
to throw down, and you know, basically this was Dax's
Harwood trying very very hard to play the role of
(32:07):
Bubba Ray Dudley in the ECW arena back in nineteen
ninety seven, when Bubba would try to get the fans
all riled up and he would get right up in
their face. It was like he was trying to incite
a riot, right. But you talk about hardcore. The shit
that he was saying, right, I mean, the stuff that
he was saying is a lot worse than anything you'll
(32:28):
hear on this Dynamite show. But this is Dax's trying to,
you know, rile up the fans as much as he
possibly can. For whatever reason, I was assuming that he
was going to go around and they had like a
planted fan, either a wrestler or just a fan that
they were going to beat up. And they never did
(32:48):
anything like that. He just went from one fan to
the next, jawing with them and getting up in their
face and talking shit, acting like, oh go ahead, hit me,
you know, come on, jump over the jump over the garbub, which,
by the way, you know, one of these days somebody
will and it could be bad news, so be careful
what you wish for because there's a lot of crazy
people out there. So he's getting up in front of
(33:10):
you know, people's faces, and the referees come out and
security comes out, and he's in the aisleway now and
he knocks down one of the cameramen and then he
knocks down one of the assistants who's holding the cords
with the TV cameras. So now FTR is just randomly
beating up a couple of the production crew members. And
(33:33):
this is where referees and security come out to try
to intervene and break all this up. Brian Danielson his
first night here on commentary, he's very very astute he's
watching all of this unfold that he says he's not
sure what any of this was about. And I would
agree this was a very odd way to send a
(33:54):
message to Adam Copeland and Christian Cage going into your
match here at all out by beating up members of
the production crew. I don't know what the point of
any of this was. I have no idea why this
segment was even needed. What was the point of this.
I mean, Dax was out there, he was trying so
(34:16):
hard to play tough guy, getting up in front of
the fans' faces, and it went nowhere. And I think
what they were trying to do. They look what they
were doing. I think they thought that they had more
heat than they really did. This was not heat. This
was just them trying to play tough guy, expecting I
(34:37):
think more of a reaction maybe than what they got.
They were trying to also play it off as this
big chaotic thing. It didn't come across that way at all.
I just thought this segment was just bizarre. Whatever they
were going for, at least for me, didn't accomplish it.
This was a waste of time. If you don't have
(34:57):
anything better to do to help promote this tag match
for All Out, better to just keep them off the show.
Try again next week. Next week is going to be
the final dynamite, the go home dynamite before All Out.
I know it's kind of played out to do a
contract signing. You could do a contract signing, you could
do no physicality. Get all four men in the ring
(35:17):
and let them go out there, put a mic in
their hand, and let them give the final hard sell
for the show and talk about why this match is
so important to them, why this is a dream match,
why this match is so special. Let them go out
there and articulate that there was no need for them
to be on the show tonight. This was just dumb.
(35:42):
Now Renee was backstage with the Hurt Syndicate. Benjamin cuts
off MVP and says, if Ricochet keeps gates of agony
in the back. He will keep MVP and Lashly backstage
as well, and he'll put Ricochet's goofy ass on his back.
And that led to rikosh one on one again Shelton
Benjamin attacking right at the bell. Ricochet sent Benjamin outside
(36:06):
with a dropkick, hit a Fosberry flop. It was quickly
back inside with a springboard four fifty. Benjamin, though, returned
fire with a big kick. He goozled Ricochet, chucked him
to the corner, hit a running step up knee, and
then was rag dolling him outside the ring, back and
forth from the apron to the barricade, back and forth
(36:26):
back inside. Benjamin nosol the forearm. He launched Ricochet with
a pump handle drop. After a commercial bred, Benjamin caught
a springing Ricochet with an overhead belly to belly and
then took him to Supplex City. Another step up knee
in the corner that led to a float over snapped
supplex for two by Benjamin. Shelton swung Ricochet's legs through
(36:50):
the ropes. He delivered a pump kick. Took too long
though to follow up, and Ricochet scaled the ropes. He
hit a Spanish fly for a two count. Ricochet pulled
out the golden scissors and Benjamin put a stop to that.
Turned Ricochet inside out with a lariat. Then he grabbed
the scissors, which got chance of e c w from
the crowd. They wanted him to use the scissors, They
(37:11):
wanted him to stab this man with the scissors. Instead,
Benjamin rips the scissors apart and then throws him aside,
and he actually got booed for doing that. Bishop Kahn
showed up, distracted the referee long enough for Total Leona
to appear. He decked Benjamin with a head butt. This
was like one of those Elgrande Americano headbutts, the one
(37:31):
he gave aj Styles last week where he head butted
him in the chest and somehow aj was knocked out
and then pinned. So here he kind of you know,
he head butted him kind of in the chest and
that allowed Ricochet to get the roll up to steal
the wind. Blah leh, cheap finish and what a shock.
(37:54):
The Heels go back on their word. Ricochet says, it's
gonna be one on one. I'll leave the gates of
agony in the back, except I won't. That's what heels do.
That's what they do. They lie. That's why you shouldn't
believe a fucking word out of Kyle Fletcher's mouth when
he tells, hang man, oh, I promised, no members of
the Kylas family will come out to help me. They're heels.
You can't believe a word they say. I was gonna say, actually,
(38:18):
you can't believe the heels. But aren't they both heels?
Are they hurt syndicate like officially babyfaces? I don't even
know anymore. I don't know. I mean that the fans
cheer for them, so we'll call them babyfaces. The action
before the shitty finish was good. Then the finish happened
and it was like eh. But before that it was good.
MVP and Lashly hit rings. They brawled with goa total
(38:41):
Leona and lash Leona was not backing down from Lashly
and they went at it. Security had to separate them all.
You know again, Look, they're building to a mid car
trios match at the pay per view. What they did
here was serviceable. It was fine. We got some good
action from Ricochet and Benjamin before the cheap finish, and
(39:02):
after this we got a vignette. We got a vignette
with Hook was sitting on a rooftop somewhere in the city,
I presume New York City. I've seen some of those
rooftops before. That's what it looked like to me, saying
he's sitting on a couch. And he says that he's
always respected Samoa, Joe and the ops, appreciates that they
(39:28):
have his back. He appreciates them always having his back,
but they replaced him before the body was cold, and
after Joe explained it to him last week. Now he
gets it when one gets hurt, someone will step up.
That being said, maybe it's time for a Hook to
stand on his own. And then he pulled off his shades.
(39:48):
I don't know why he's wearing shades anyway at night,
but he pulls off his shades for dramatic effect and says,
then again, maybe not, and they flashed the Hook logo
on the screen. I do love how they had to.
You know, he had to pull the glasses off for
that little bit of extra dramatic effect. Okay, then, I
(40:13):
don't know what else to say about this. He's sort
of intimating that either he will link up with another
crew or form his own crew, is what I get
out of this. We could be looking for an OPS versus.
I don't know what he's gonna call it. But if
Hook ends up having his own group, Hook's group against
(40:33):
the Ops maybe coming out of this, and then Hook
can win the trios titles. I don't know who the
other two would be. I have no idea, but that
was it. That's what we got here from Hook on
the show. At least we didn't have to hear the music,
no music, just Hook. We had Tony Storm. Oh boy,
(40:56):
we had timeless Tony Storm against Skyblue in what was
billed as a Philly street fight. Because when you do
a show at the twenty three hundred Arena, you have
to pay homage to ECW and have your prototypical I mean,
you're mandated to do at least one hardcore garbage match
on the show. This was your hardcore garbage match of
(41:17):
the night. I don't know what Tony was supposed to
be dressed up as when she came out. I guess
this was her street fight gear. She had her hair
slicked back, all wet. She also had a Kendo stick
that was signed by the Sandman. I saw their video
together backstage earlier today, she was Sandman was a kneeling.
It's actually pretty impressive that he can do that with
(41:39):
his knees. Think of the abuse these ECW guys took
back in the day. But he's down on like one
knee and Tony has this Kendo stick and she's knighting
him like sir Sandman. So I guess he was the
special guest of honor. Wasn't on the show though, but
the kendo stick was signed. It was autographed by the Sandman,
(42:01):
so of course we got some kendostick spots. Tony smacked
sky Blue with a sign. Sky Blue smacked her on
the butt with a baking pan. Then she stapled Tony's
ass with a staple gun. Yes, we got the obligatory
staple gun, which I just whatever. Then she stapled the
(42:23):
champions Nipples and Nether Regions. I'm trying. I'm trying with
the show, I really am. This certainly is for the sickos,
I will say that. Then it was Tony's turn to
use it on sky Blues Nether Regions. Taz told someone
(42:44):
to get Tony a beer. Someone get me a drink,
a stiff jack and coke would be welcome. I could
use one later on. Outside of the ring, Tony flipped over.
There was a cover like like a lid on a table. Outside.
She flipped over the cover to reveal a table covered
in mousetraps. They're all lined up, one right next to it,
(43:05):
probably twenty mousetraps on this table. And she has cheese
in her hand. She has pieces of cheese, and she
is eating a piece of cheese, and then she hands
it to ex Caliber to take a bite, which he did.
You know, if I ate that, I'd shit myself, So
I would kindly say thank you, but no thank you.
(43:27):
Storm places Sky's finger in a mousetrap and it snaps
and she screams in pain. Storm tries to power bomb
her through the table because here on the apron. Now
Sky Blue reverses it power bombs Tony onto the mousetrap
covered table. Sky then grabs a chair. She wedges it
(43:48):
in the corner, but that backfires when Tony, after she recovers,
throws her face first into the chair. Tony takes the
chair and proceeds to channel her inner Ball's mahoney with
it and starts hammering Sky across the back. Well, actually, okay,
in that case, I don't want to sully the good
name of one Ball's mahoney. Now, if this was Ball's mahoney,
(44:11):
he wouldn't be hitting anybody across the back with the chair.
He'd be doling out CTE to anybody within ten feet
of him. So this wasn't quite that. So then after that,
Tony has I don't know where the hell she got
this from, but she had an electric fly swatter. At
least that's what ex Caliber said it was. She has
(44:33):
an electric fly swatter. She smacks Sky Blue on the
ass with it. Tony puts Sky on the top rope.
Storm was thinking about a superplexed Sky though slipped out
and then power bomb Tony onto a trash can. Sky
looked for Code Blue, Tony avoided it, smacked her in
the face with a chair to the siko in row four. Look,
(44:55):
I know you're excited to be a dynamite tonight at
your first show. Still pulling that thing out. Okay, you
gotta put that away. Don't think I didn't see that
sign that you brought that said I came to see
ade W that's sick. Thank you. Will they ever learn.
Will they ever learned their lesson? Bobert reviews with another
(45:15):
forty Thank you, Bobera. That's beer money, all that liquor
I just talked about. I'm gonna go buy some onen.
We're done here. Well, the sickos ever learned? I don't
think so. But they were loving this. I'm sure they
were loving the shit out of this. So Sky went
for code blue, Tony avoided it, smacked her in the
(45:36):
face with a chair hit, a hip attack, and then
a storm zero onto the chair, and Tony wins the match. Now,
after the match was over, Julia Hart and Tecla attacked Tony.
Chris Statlander came out to help Tony, but she was
outnumbered and so Jamie Hayter ran down to the ring
(45:58):
and she helps that land. While Tony was still down,
Hayter wound up for her finish on Julia, but Julia
duckt Guess what happened? Guess what happened next? Yes, Jamie
Hayter took out Chris stat Lander by accident with the clothesline.
So Julia then put Hayter down with an awkward leg
sweep sends her to the floor. Tekla got Storm up
(46:22):
and then did her spider creepy little spider pose that
she does, and then she delivered a spear. Yes, because
that's a move we don't get enough of in wrestling today.
The spear. We need another one, you know. I don't
think enough people do the spear. I think we need
more people doing the spear. In fact, I think when
(46:46):
Tony Shavanni comes out to do the play by play
on Collision, before he comes down and takes his seat,
I think he should spear somebody just to get in
on the fund. Why should he be left out? So
what was this? This was a love letter to the
old ECW, which to them was just violence and just
(47:07):
dumb violence, which is what this was. This was dumb
violence that was not really needed. But based on where
they were in the setting and what those bloodthirsty fans
were looking for and what Tony Kahn loves. This was
his love letter to ECW and Tony Storm. And I
will say the women worked hard here, not a knock
on the women. I love Tony. Tony's great. She tried
(47:30):
to make this entertaining. I thought sky Blue held her own.
It looked good here. I just didn't care for this,
didn't care sorry, I'll tell you what I do care
about that we have a four way coming up. It
all out. It was confirmed on Collision this past weekend
because I wasn't sure who Tony Storm was going to
be defending her championship against, and then we found out
(47:52):
that it's going to be in a four way match,
because why not. But then you look at the lineup
for the match, this would be a hard match to
f You've got Tony Storm, You've got Jamie Hayter, You've
got Chris Statlander, and you've got Tecla hater and Tecla
obviously have had their issues, and then you'd throw in
stat Lander and Tony and I think it would be
(48:13):
impossible for these four to go in there and have
anything less than a really good match. I don't necessarily
like the idea of putting Tony and Jamie in the
ring against each other like out of nowhere, as opposed
to doing a one on one, which they weren't ready
to do anyway. Maybe this will eventually lead to that
down the road, but you know, look, in the absence
(48:37):
of any obvious number one contender, this is a hell
of a match to put together. And I would not
say that it's a guaranteed win for Tony Storm, especially
given what's been going on lately with the Death Riders
stuff and them trying to recruit stat Lander and dropping
little hints if there was going to be a title
(48:57):
change in that match at all out and I think
they're very well could be. But if there was going
to be the one who's gonna win that championship, it's
not Jamie Hayter, it's not Tekla, it's Chris Statlander. If
they do a title change, because I could see her
joining and enjoining she brings with her the aw Women's
(49:18):
World Championship, and maybe that's not a bad idea. You know,
Tony Storm has no obvious challengers left. The only thing
that's obvious at this point is that when Mercedes eventually
loses the TBS title in due time, she will win
the World Championship. I'm sorry the idea that well we
got we can give the title on Tony so that
(49:38):
Mercedes could get her win back. Fuck that. Okay, at
some point soon you're gonna have to make a move
here because people get bored and sometimes the babyface needs
to be back in chase mode to make things interesting again.
So if they wanted to do a title change here. Yeah,
I wish there was a more focused story here for Tony,
(49:58):
but taking the title off for her to put it
on someone like Statlander would not be a terrible idea,
just to shake things up a little bit in that division.
This week's episode is sponsored by Express VPN. Did you
know that there are over eighteen thousand titles on Netflix worldwide?
Yet if you live here where I am in the
United States, you're only seeing about seven thousand of those titles.
(50:22):
That's less than half. If you want to watch the
other eleven thousand, you'll have to find them on another
streaming service, and you pay for enough of those as
it is. It's almost like paying a tariff just because
you want to see a movie. Only difference is you
have a way to get around these tariffs and get
the full experience that you deserve. That is, with ExpressVPN,
Netflix actually hides content from you. Believe this, They hide
(50:45):
content from you based on your location. ExpressVPN allows you
to change your virtual locations so that you control where
you want Netflix to think you're located. They have servers
in over one hundred countries in all fifty states, so
you can gain access to of news, shows and movies
and never run out of stuff to watch. You could
just keep adding to your playlist. And it's not just
(51:06):
Netflix that it works with. You can use it with
other streamers like Disney Plus and BBCi Player and more.
ExpressVPN is the best VPN because it's easy to use.
With the simple tap of a button in the app,
you can change your location if you ever wish that
you could just teleport somewhere. How much easier that would be.
You no longer need to wonder, you can now. It's
(51:27):
also blazing fast with zero buffering when you stream in HD,
and it works across all of your devices, phones, laptops, tablets,
smart TVs, you name it. There's a reason ExpressVPN is
ranked number one by top tech reviewers like c Net
and The Verge. Two of my favorite movies of all
time are The Shawshank Redemption and The Dark Knight. And
(51:48):
a lot of you know about The Dark Knight because
I talk about it a lot. I can't watch either
one of them on Netflix in the US right now,
but with my ExpressVPN, I tap one button to connect
to a server in Australia and I'm watching Shawshank it again.
I mean, I'm running around with the kangaroos and stuff,
and I'm watching Shawshank Redemption on my phone. It worked
like a charm the Dark Night. I can watch that
(52:10):
movie over and over again, never get bored of it.
Not on Netflix here. But when I connected to a
server in Japan, I got me some Batman and Joker.
I always wanted to visit Japan. This may be as
close as I ever get, but at least now I
have access to my favorite movie. And again it's super easy.
I just open the ExpressVPN app, I type in Japan,
the server comes up, I click one button to connect
(52:33):
to it, and in less than three seconds, I'm transported
halfway across the world. Then I just refresh my Netflix
and the movies are there. So be smart. Stop paying
full price for streaming services and only getting access to
a fraction of their content. Get your money's worth at

That Renee interviewed Willow Nightingale backstage, who said that she
stands up for good. She said that when people defy that,
she punches them in the face and then does it
again if they don't get it. She was about to
(53:16):
address Marina Shaffir, who she says she hates and love
to get her hands on Marina Shaffir when she was
interrupted by Harley Cameron wearing her cat makeup and she
had a guitar on her and she was here to
sing a song about Willow. Willow said that Harley is lovely,
(53:37):
but she couldn't be on a team with Chris Statlander,
and she Warren Harley, watch your back around Statlander. After this,
they announced that this talk about coming out of nowhere.
Here on the subject of all out, they announced a tournament,
a small tournament for a universal Unified Championship match. It
(54:05):
all out. We're getting a three way for Okata's title,
It all out if Okada has his title, because this
is what they announced on Collision. We're getting Kazuchka Okada
against Michael Oku, the same Michael Oku who The only
time we've seen Michael Oku recently was on the pre
(54:26):
show at Forbidden Door where he almost died Okay when
he got pounced over the top rope and almost landed
right on the top of his head. Scariest spot of
the entire night. Michael Oku is wrestling Okada and what
I can only assume is going to be a championship match,
because why the fuck would Okada be in a tournament
(54:46):
to crown number one contenders for his championship at the
pay per view. He's in the tournament, so he's wrestling
Michael Oku. It's got to be a title match. The
winner of that will go on on to the championship
match in Toronto. Kenoski Takeshta on Collision will be wrestling
Anthony Bowen's gee. I wonder how that's gonna go. And
(55:09):
then the what is that? Oh, that's a I think
that's Dynamite Next week, right, Oh god, next week? That's right? Yeah,
next week is uh. They've bumped up Collision to a
one hour show, so it's a three hour block next Wednesday.
I don't know that I'm watching all three hours. We
(55:30):
might just do the Dynamite portion, but they're calling it
September to Remember on that show. Next week it'll be
the Beast More Toasts against Mascerri Dorada, So the winner
of all three of those matches will go on to
all Out to wrestle in a triple threat for the
Unified Championship. I don't know why this needs to be
a three way. Why does this need to be a
(55:52):
three way? Why can't you just do Okata and takesh Dave,
that's what you're gonna do. I mean really, not that
it's gonna be a bad match. I mean I'm looking
at this and I'm thinking, Okay, we're getting Okata, Takeshta
and the Beast Mortos, and that's gonna be great, right.
Beast Mortos never wins a fucking thing, but it's gonna
(56:15):
be a great match. I just don't know why this
needs to be three way. And it was a little
weird that Okada was actually in the tournament. So I
guess in theory, if Michael Oku were to beat Okada
he would be the champion, then he would be in
the three way get all out. I don't know this
is what they came up with. I don't know. I
(56:39):
don't know. The main event, we had the tag team
champions Brody King and Bandido teaming up with the Ops Samoa, Joe, Kotsiori,
Shabata and Powerhouse Hobbs to take on John Moxley, Claudio Castignoli,
Wheeler Da and the Young Bucks in a five hundred
thousand dollars all star ten men team main event. Wow
(57:05):
say that five times fast. So the Bucks walked out
to the old Dynamite music. This was like the original
aw Dynamite theme song, and we had them coming out
also with their ID photos on the screen to their
government names, so it said Matthew Ron John Massey and
(57:27):
Nicholas Lee Massey. Brian Danielson was blown away after discovering
Ron John was apparently the legitimate middle name for Matt Jackson.
I didn't know that. Apparently that's apparently that's his legitimate
name there. So there was a Duffel bag that was
(57:48):
filled with half a million dollars in cash just sitting
on top of the announced desk. The ops fought the
death Riders while the Bucks shied away from King and Bandido,
but they eventually got caught. Ban and Adido hit a
moon salt off the top rope onto the Bucks. Moxley,
also at ringside. Bandido went up top frog splash Claudio
for a near fall that took us into the final
(58:09):
picture and picture break Later in the match, Matt broke
up Bandido's attempted at twenty one plex to his brother.
Bandido shoved Matt into Nick, who fell off the apron
and then went for a monkey flip on mat, but
Nick held his brother and Matt covered Bandido and Nick
held Matt's legs down across the middle rope for leverage,
and Matt Jackson got the pin to win the prize
(58:31):
money and to win it here for the Heels, so
the Bucks. When the match was over, they grabbed the
duffel bag full of cash. Brody King though chopped them both.
Some of the money went flying fucking uh Andre and
stud at the first WrestleMania, so Bandido joined Brody in
working over the bucks. They both fought off to the back. Meanwhile,
(58:54):
the Death Riders worked over the ops in and around ringside.
Darby Allen's music hit and Darby went after Moxley while
the ops pulled Claudio and Uda out to the floor.
So Darby was getting the better of Moxley when a
man in a hoodie entered the ring and ambushed him.
Attacked him from behind, and when the man pulled down
the hood he revealed Daniel Garcia and the crowd goes mild.
(59:24):
Then they chanted you sold out at Garcia. You know
I would sell out too if I lost every fucking
match that I was in. So Mariita Shaffir placed a
chair in the ring. Garcia locked Darby in a dragon
tamer and then pulled his arms behind him. He was
going to curb stomp him face first down onto the chair,
(59:44):
and he went to do it, and Darby, I don't know,
he turned away at the last second and he stomped
him on the mat right next to the chair. It
was like, oh, okay, oops. So that he stood there
for a little bit like I gotta do this over
again because this just looked like complete shit. So he
redid the spot and this time he hit it. This
(01:00:06):
time he nailed the spot, and then Garcia started to
beat the hell out of Darby to the point where
Moxley actually motioned for uh Marina Shafir to stop him,
like calm him down and stop him. And then they
fled into the crowd and that was how the show ended.
(01:00:26):
What can I say about the match? I mean, look,
it was identical to every other six men, eight man,
ten man, twelve man, sixteen man, twenty man thirty man,
forty man, fifty man all star tag team match that
we get on this show every single week, except this
time they added five hundred thousand dollars to the match
as prize money, which went to the Young Bucks. Bandido
(01:00:50):
was still awesome. I'll put him over. Bandido's fucking great.
But the rest of the match was just a blur.
It's like every other fucking match they do every single week.
Throw as many people out there as you possibly can,
let them do a bunch of big spots. Everybody will cheer.
This is awesome. Okay, great, I mean, what else is
there to say about it? Again, Bandido's great, but we
(01:01:12):
got the same all Star match we get every single week.
Garcia joining the Death Riders about two years too late.
He would have been a good fit for this shit
two years ago. He's joining them now. Do we really
need to be adding new members to this group? I
don't think so, but it looks like that's where we're headed,
and Chris Statlander is probably going to be next to me.
(01:01:33):
At least that's what they want you to believe. Chris
Statlander very well could be another new addition to the group,
which again is what makes me think if Tony is
going to lose her title it all out, stat Lander
may end up being the beneficiary of that. We shall see.
So again, they did, you know, a fine serviceable job
(01:01:54):
of building up some of the mid card matches that
are coming up it all out. We have our World
Championship match that is now official between Hangman and Kyle Fletcher,
Copeland and Christian FTR. We already knew about that, MJF
and Brisco. We'll find out what the stipulation for that
is on Collision this weekend, and we'll find out some
(01:02:14):
of the members of the three way match for the
unified title that'll be coming up at the pay per
view as well. So the card is filling in. It
is filling in trying to think what championships. Well, the
TNT title obviously is not being defended. We have Mercedes
in Rijo, so that takes care of the TBS title.
(01:02:35):
Brody King and Bendido have no match at this point.
I assume they will at some point, but right now
they don't have an official match. We have Ricochet in
the Gates of Agony against the Hurt Syndicate, and we
have the four way for the women's Championship with Tony
defending in that match. So that's where All Out stands
at this point. We have one more Dynamite left that'll
(01:02:57):
be next week's show and then that directly into All
Out where we also know that one of the app
it might be the final hour of the Zero Hour
pre show for the first time, is going to be
airing live on television as well. They've never done that before,
so I think that'll be at two pm, and then
the pay per view itself kicks off at three on
(01:03:18):
the twentieth. So that was your aw Dynamite for tonight.
Take a look at the Twitter poll, what did you
think of Dynamite here from Philly, we have thirty nine
point two percent thumbs up, sixty point eight percent thumbs down,
and that is the score thumbs up thumbs down. At
(01:03:40):
Solemn Monster, you can go vote. We got a tailgate
brawl out. Yes they're calling it like a Tailgate Saturday.
It's got some weird name. It's basically it's a Zero Hour.
It's the same thing. Let's get to your messages. This
(01:04:03):
is what I like to call the All Star portion.
This is the All Star super Chat portion of the street.
I'm gonna start doing that every single week. You are
now my all stars. Everybody who drops a message, you
are officially a sound off All Star. Yeah. The funny
(01:04:23):
thing is, like we used to get matches on the
like remember when WWE had the Free for All. I
mean that's going back, like that's when they first started
doing pre shows, they had the free for all, and
then it became the kickoff show. And one of my
favorite matches to this day actually was a kickoff match.
One of my favorite kickoff matches, I should say, I'm
(01:04:47):
pretty sure it was at the show that I was
at in Philly, because I went to Money in the
Bank in Philly one year and it was Roman Reigns
and seth Rollins against the usso's. So, I mean, the
more things change, the more they stay the same. This
was like twenty thirteen, but now like today, WWE has
no matches on the pre shows. You know, aw will
try to like flood the pre show with as many
(01:05:08):
matches as they could possibly fit in. They'll throw the
Costco guys in there if they can, and then WWE
doesn't do anything. There's gotta be like a happy medium,
you know, find that like one or two there's one
or two matches that didn't quite fit on the main card,
you know what I mean that you could kind of
fit on the because WWE's pre shows are at least
(01:05:28):
two hours long, you know, and sometimes they'll even stretch
it out to like three. I'm just waiting on the
announcement that the Wrestle Palooza pre show is going to
start at three pm Eastern time. It'll be some kind
of weird like expanded, you know, pre show, but there's
no matches on them. There's just no matches. They're just
going over the same you know, bullshit to promote each
(01:05:51):
match that they always do. And then Wade Barrett makes
a comment that isn't offensive in the least and then
people get their undies in a bunch because they think
he insulted Nikki Bella. Maybe they should just do away
with the pre shows altogether. Oh man, I think I
lost some of the early ones, but we'll pick up
(01:06:13):
from here. I don't think I lost too many of them.
We got a couple here from Terrible Dried Chicken. Every
time I see the prize money on the line at
aaw Tony Khan is actually onto something. I'll give aw
a B grade for imagination. I know it's ridiculous to
some people, but aw can always turn the prize money
match into a story angle we need. Yeah, you can,
(01:06:36):
you can. They generally don't. Somebody might comment on it
in a backstage PROMBA, but when you do it all
the time and it generally doesn't lead anywhere, it's pretty
fucking dumb. At least with the Bucks tonight, and we'll see.
Maybe I'm wrong, but the Bucks won the money right. Actually,
that makes me kind of sad because if that means
(01:06:56):
the Bucks aren't going to get their bum ass entrances anymore,
I'm actually kind of pissed that they did that. That
tended to be one of the more entertaining parts of
the show when they would come out and their music
would be all fucked up and their intro would be
all fucked up. If they just go back now to
being the Bucks of old, that's kind of lame. Bass
(01:07:17):
Beers says, these high profile wrestlers need security. Well, I
mean the women certainly do. I think they do. Some
of them do now. Some of them do have security now.
I saw video at Roxane Perez a couple of weeks ago.
She had security the moldy cheeseburger. Yes, the moldy cheeseburger
(01:07:44):
to go with that piece of cheese that Tony Storm
had on the show tonight. I was listening to episode
nine eight of the sound Off, and you had a
list of venues for AW to run. What if AW
ran an episode of Dynamite or a pay per view
at Madison Square Garden. I am sure the WWE would
(01:08:06):
do everything in their power to block them from doing
so you could try it. I think it's a very
expensive building to run, and I think that I mean
you would have to put together a pay per view
quality card. If it was going to be a Dynamite,
you would have to put together like a Grand Slam
kind of card. It's very ambitious for AW to do that.
(01:08:29):
You know, they run New York, never the Garden, and
it's not like they're packing in the houses in New York.
This is why they're not on the road running bigger
buildings to begin with. You know, running Madison Square Garden
if you are only going to put four thousand people
(01:08:51):
in the building, would be pretty fucking dumb. You would
have to put together a card that you know is
going to draw at least double that. Otherwise, I wouldn't
bother running. It's not even financially worth it to run there.
That's why WW stopped running there because it's too expensive
for them. So they run there now, but they don't
run nearly as often as they used to. They just
(01:09:12):
go to Barclays over in Brooklyn. Joseph Stewart, I will
be going to see Batman Forever next week in theaters
for its thirtieth anniversary. I figured you would be first
in line. That's very cool. Also, who are your two
(01:09:38):
favorite Raven flock members? Mine is Raven and Billy Kidman.
I'm gonna go Horace, Horace Hogan and Ron Reese. How
about Sick Boy? Maybe Sick Boy Terrible Dry Chicken. I
cannot wait to hear Booker T doing commentary for Stephanie
(01:09:59):
Vcaer on NXT next week. Booker T's personality is better
than Corey Graves's personality. I don't think Corey Graves is
even doing commentary anymore on NXT right, I don't think
he's done it in a few weeks. Food Hive ex
Caliber said, Taz carries water for the Bucks reminds me
(01:10:21):
of when you were accused of carrying water for both
AW and WWE at the same time. Hashtag nine days. Yeah,
carrying all this water. It's no wonder I have these guns,
some heavy pails. Thank you, food Hive. What's cooking tonight?
Food Hive? See you all forgot about sick boy? Didn't you?
(01:10:49):
Terrible dried chicken says the street profits talk about we
want the smoke, FTR said, hold our beers. They kick
the hornets and pick a fight with the Philly crowd.
I don't know, man, can you imagine like they piss
off a bunch of the Philly fins and they all
(01:11:09):
just jump jump the uh the barricaded, and FTR is like,
oh shit, they all just start kicking their ass. I
don't know if they have atleas security there still, see,
I wouldn't want to mess with atless security. What's that
guy's named Ronnie? Yeah, I wouldn't be uh, I wouldn't
be jumping the barricade there. He also says, you know
what they say, bald is beautiful. No, I don't know
(01:11:32):
actually sees with the four ninety nine is EO Sky
you're Women's Wrestler of the Year. Yes, do you agree
that from top to bottom. WWE's women's division is significantly
better than AAW's. No, no, it is not significantly better
than aw's. Terrible Dried Chicken Sometimes in life you gotta
(01:11:56):
say fuck it says he enjoyed the Street Fighter Peaches
and Cream match with Tony and Sky. I'll bet you did.
You enjoyed it for everything but the wrestling though. Also
imagine Nikki Bella stealing Ocatta's rain maker. Yeah, I'd love
(01:12:16):
to see that, sees. Did you know that EO. Sky
has not taken a clean loss, meaning no interference since
December thirty, twenty twenty four. Good, she shouldn't keep the
streak going. Terrible Dried Chicken says the Death Riders told everyone,
(01:12:42):
Hey guys, we're adding more members, So fuck you, mister Rod.
Daniel Garcia is now in the Death Riders. Why funny
but unnecessary. I just love it when like he revealed
himself and before they started chanting, you sold out like it.
(01:13:02):
It's like no nobody cared. Who could care? I mean really,
of all the things that combine the Death Riders and
Daniel Garcia, Yeah, that's that'll light it up. Terrible Dried Chicken.
Wardlow needs a new Japan just to reinvent himself. I
(01:13:25):
think Wardlow needs like a shaman or something at this point.
Birthday boy, it's my birthday today. I have a Tony
Kahan cake. Well, happy birthday to the birthday boy. I
hope it's a great one. Terrible Dried Chicken, the Young
Bucks going to buy some McDonald's, Burger King, Wendy's, popeye'es, RB's,
(01:13:49):
and Taco Bell to celebrate their birthday. You forgot Subway,
You forgot Jersey Mike's. You forgot Chipotle, Chipotle? Chipotle? Where
are we on the likes? By the way, it doesn't
look like we're doing be the Booker tonight. I think
we're like eighty five likes away. That ain't gonna happen.
That ain't gonna cut it. Terrible Dried Chicken says I. Hmm.
(01:14:18):
Terrible dried Chicken disappeared on me. Where is he? There?
He is? I double Doug there, Seth Rollins and Becky
Lynch take a picture with Jack Perry. I don't know
where Jack Perry is. Jack Perry is in the Witness
Protection program. He is nowhere to be found. Ray Warfield
Junior Solo the Goat what's your favorite O write AW
(01:14:43):
of all time? My favorite? I have no idea? What
oh what's your favorite AW of all time? There's only
one AW? I so I mean, I'm not sure that
could mean so many different things. Ray, I don't know
what you're trying to ask me, brother, but thank you.
I appreciate it. Bobert, with the other forty men, you
(01:15:07):
are the man. Thank you, Bobert. Dry check and see
I'm punking aj Lee Bad idea number thirty one. They
will steal one of Seth and Becky's expensive clothes and
give it to Larry the dog so you can chew
and piss. You know what's worse than that cat piss.
(01:15:28):
You can't get that shit out. It's like a skunk.
Oz and Glorious acknowledge him. Fifty one months fifty one
months of channel membership. Oz and Glorious is I will
never forgive Danielson for convincing Tony that Garcia and Yuda
were the second Coming. It's been four years and Tony
(01:15:51):
is still trying to convince us every week that these
two are on Fletcher Takeshta and Kids level. You know,
I would be lying if I didn't briefly think of you.
When I saw what happened with Garcia at the end
of the show, I could just picture you throwing furniture around.
I'm sorry, Brother Dried Chicken says, if Chris stat Lander
(01:16:13):
wins the women's world title, we'll use Moxley as a
death rider on Tony or Willer you to interferes and
attacks Tony for more heat. Yeah, that would be fucking terrible.
So let's not involve Wheeler you to please in the
women's match. I don't want to see Wheeler you to
in the men's matches, let alone in the women's match,
So let's not do that. Yuki oh rules. Hey Solom Monster,
(01:16:34):
do you remember when the Undertaker brought up the learning
tree in a promo? I don't that sounds like something
he would have said though when he was Big Evil.
But that's not a promo of his that stands out
to me. Ofman with fifty three months of membership past
(01:16:59):
midnight on the East Coast, it is officially my birthday,
forty four years young. How about that? That deserves a
yes chair, Happy birthday, Uffman. Here's through at least forty
four more. I hope you have a great birthday on
what is officially now Thursday. Uffman always helping hold down
(01:17:24):
the fort around here, much appreciated, and we got more.
Daniel Garcia looked like he was hesitating at first at first.
Spot to me, well, he may have looked like he
was hesitating at first, but then again he stomped Darby
onto a chair, he was kicking his ass, and he
(01:17:45):
left with Shaffir and Moxley. So that tells me that
there wasn't a whole lot of hesitation there in joining
the death Riders there at the end. And more also
says have you ever checked out Don Kallis's tweets? His
(01:18:06):
tweets occasion. I don't follow him, but his tweets occasionally
pop up on my timeline and he types in all caps,
which is very annoying. Not quite as annoying as Rick Flair,
where the first letter of every word is capitalized for
some reason that annoys me more, But as far as
like reading his tweets occasionally if they happen to pop
(01:18:31):
up on my timeline, I might. Yeah, you two can
be part of the Green World Order, the GWO. You
become a member of our little crew here when you
become a channel member, so that's something you should get
in on. Appreciate all my members. You guys are awesome.
(01:18:57):
It was actually for a little little sneak pie you
are on the Legends tier. I was doing some work
today on uploading the next retro classic episode of the SoundOff,
picking up where I left off some time ago, because
the first thirteen episodes of the SoundOff that I ever
(01:19:18):
did two thousand and seven, two thousand and eight, those
have been up there for Legends Heier members. Episode fourteen
is coming your way soon from February of two thousand
and eight. It's it's like a time capsule, so keep
your eyes peeled. I'll let you guys know once that's
up and some of the other stuff I'm working on.
But I appreciate it. If Garcia is joining the Dick Riders,
(01:19:45):
does that mean you to may start winning matches? Well,
I having the better question might be who gives a shit?
I too, I'm more interested when it comes to the
Taqushta's and the Fletchers of the world here in aw Bandido.
(01:20:08):
I can't say that at the moment that those guys
rank pretty high up on my list, not high on
my list of interest. All right, next time I'm with
You is going to be on Friday. We're going to
be talking SmackDown Randy Orton and Drew McIntyre or wrestling
(01:20:30):
on Friday Night. We're going to get the return I
am sure of Cody Rhodes to set up that match
for wrestl Palooza. It'll probably be Cody and Drew for
the championship. Tiffany is going to defend her WWE Women's
title against Jade Cargill and Brock Lesnar will hopefully give
some sort of explanation as to why he's been doing
(01:20:51):
what he's been doing, because John Cena will not be
on that show, but Brock will. What other possible purpose
could there be for him to be there if not
offer some sort of explanation. So that is what we'll
be talking about on Friday night. Dry Chicken says, pick
your poison, Death Riders or House of Torture. Can you
(01:21:15):
imagine if they combined the two, that would be the
worst faction ever, be like the Death Riders of Torture. Yeah,
I mean, I'll just I'll poison myself like I'm not
gonna pick. I'll poison myself without choosing oh Man and
(01:21:40):
the Juliet WrestleMania in Saudi Arabia. Yes, I tweeted if
you follow on Twitter, which you should be doing. I
mentioned that earlier and we will talk about that more
later in the week as well. Nobody should be surprised
by this. Not one person should be shocked. I do
feel bad for all my listeners over there in the UK,
(01:22:04):
boy John Cena, Man, what a cock tase that was? Huh?
A couple of years ago at Money in the Bank,
you got everybody all riled up. Make your voices heard
if you want WrestleMania here in the UK. Man, they
took their dick and they smacked it right across your face,
didn't they? And poor New Orleans too, They were supposed
(01:22:24):
to get WrestleMania next year and then it was literally
they had the Rock announced it on TV, and then
they took it away from them. They said, here, we'll
give you money in the bank next year. So I'm like, well,
maybe they'll make up for it in twenty twenty seven. Nope, Nope.
You want WrestleMania back in New Orleans, which is what
I was looking forward to. You're gonna be waiting a while.
(01:22:48):
Fuck that we got Fox. I wish you were still
doing gaming content. Enjoy those very much. I would like
to to. I just time gets away and there's other
things on the channel and before you know what it's like. Man,
it's been a while since I've been able to do
(01:23:09):
one of those, but we It's on the list of
things I would like to do. For sure. People tended
to enjoy how terrible I generally was at these things.
Have a nice laugh at my expense. Does Jay White
come back? It all out? Next challenger for Hangman? I mean,
(01:23:33):
I'd like to see j White come back. I have
absolutely no idea what his status is. Last I heard,
which was not that long ago, was that we weren't
going to see Jay White for a while. So no,
I don't think we're going to see him there. I
think he's still hurt and he's going to be out
for a while. Yet. Oh we got Oz the Wonderful Wizard.
(01:23:54):
I don't watch the FED, haven't in twenty five years,
but I listened to the streams in the sound off.
Is everything just based on legends and part time or
return pops? Uh? For the most part, Yeah, more so,
I feel like this year than maybe ever there is
a heavy reliance on, you know, getting the moment, the
(01:24:18):
moment the pop. And also you got to keep in
mind now they're booking for that Netflix reality series because
they're bringing back that Unreal reality series, and so some
of the shit that we're seeing is also designed to
get footed for the reality show. So they're booking for
that as well, not just the pop. But it does
(01:24:41):
feel that way. It does feel like this year especially,
they've been very they've been leaning very heavily into that.
I love how he gets all of his FED update.
You could tell he has a watch in twenty five years,
he still calls it the FED. Imagine if you were
in a coma, you only first woke up this year,
(01:25:01):
but you've been in a coma since two thousand and one,
You're like, what is w w ee? What is that?
And you still go around calling it the Fed. Arabia
Knight mentions Adam Cole. Yeah, you know, I said that
on TNT the other night. I said the terrible triad Wardlow,
(01:25:22):
Jay White and Adam Cole. I mean, they've just been
snake bitten when it comes to the injuries and just
the awful streak of luck that they've had Jay White
was another one. He was injured, he came back, he
got injured again. Adam Cole terrible concussion and then what
happened to his ankle. I mean he literally has like
a cadaver bone in his ankle. You know we're heading
(01:25:47):
into Halloween. It's like he's got like a haunted ankle.
And then this latest concussion, which could be career ending
for him. And then the stuff with Wardlow. It's like
it says, the terrible triad, find me three guys with
worse luck. Morris Is. Have you seen Wressell Paluza only
(01:26:10):
moving ten thousand tickets in a seventeen thousand capacity venue.
The greed is getting to them. I don't think it's
getting to them just yet, but the greed will get
to them. It's the greed will be their downfall. The
greed will absolutely be their downfall. This is not sustainable.
This hot streak they've been on at the prices they
(01:26:31):
charge for their tickets is not sustainable. They will they
will crash back down to Earth at some point. And
the thing is like the and I'll talk more about
this on Sunday, but like the thing is the Mark
Shapiros and the Aria manuals of TKO like, they're not
gonna be damaged by it. They're not gonna be the
ones on the hot seat. It's gonna be people like
(01:26:54):
Levek and Nick con Like. They're the ones that are
gonna be on the hot seat when that happens. Because
when heads roll, it ain't gonna be the heads of TKO.
I could promise you that. And I don't think they're
gonna be very patient to wait for the turnaround to come.
So I don't know when that's gonna happen, but you
can bet your ass it's gonna come back to bite
(01:27:15):
them at some point. Oz says, it'll always be the FED,
because fuck the Fed. It's interesting to know everything happening
about dozens of wrestlers I've never seen wrestle even once.
You've never seen rear Ripley wrestle. This fascinates me. West
(01:27:42):
Coast James fifty one months, he's a legend. There he is,
sound up legend. I must have started watching the FED
when Oz stopped watching the Fed year two thousand. Man,
look at this. Wrestling's a weird thing where you never
really you never really get out of it, right. You
might stop watching like week to week. But there are
(01:28:04):
you'd be surprised how many wrestling fans I hear from
over the years who send emails to me in tweets saying,
I don't watch it anymore, I don't watch a WWE,
or I never got into aw but I listen to
every SoundOff, you know, because they want to. They want
to follow with what's going on, like they can't completely
pull themselves away, or maybe they just love the sound
(01:28:26):
off that much that they don't really give a shit
as long as I'm talking about something, but they just
don't watch it anymore. You know, there's a lot of
people who don't watch anymore because it's either there's too
much of it. They feel like they can't keep up
with all the content, or it's too expensive, or it's
fucking boring. But they do want to keep up with
what's going on, you know, who's the big star and
(01:28:47):
what's the big story in wrestling, And maybe they'll check
out some YouTube clips, but like that's the extent of it.
There's a lot of people out there like that. And
I'll tell you what what TKO. We were just talking about,
TKO price people out of these shows. You're gonna have
more fans like that. It's gonna get worse where certain
people are just gonna drop off, or maybe they just
(01:29:08):
find the product to be boring and just not very interesting,
but they'll probably still listen. I would hope many of them,
not all of them, will still listen, and they'll keep
up with wrestling through podcasts, you know, and YouTube channels
like this one. So as long as you stick with me,
I got you covered. Dried Chicken, says Marishka Harktay is
(01:29:30):
a beautiful actress. She's always been beautiful. She's a beautiful woman.
And I says TK will be buying WWE via TKO bankruptcy. Trustee,
Well that's not gonna happen. That won't happen. He says.
(01:29:53):
I've never seen seen a wrestle lesnar Rhea Seth Roman
had never seen a single cm punk move until he
were turned to AW. When Vince McMahon killed WCW, I
was done. Well, I got news for you. WCW killed
WCW more than Vince McMahon killed WCW, but he did.
(01:30:16):
He did kill it once. He once he bought it,
then he killed it off. But like the original ECW,
they did more to kill themselves than anything Vince McMahon did,
calling it WWE completely lost that wrestling aura. Well, the
(01:30:37):
word wrestling is still in it. If it wasn't because
I hang out with my best butt and eat junk
food watching the pay per views and plees, I would
not be watching wrestling sing. Brett Hart agrees Marishka is great,
(01:30:57):
but she's no Jennifer love Hewitt also a beautiful woman.
But there's something about Marishkamn, especially in those early seasons
of SVU, Oh my god, she was just so attractive
and just also like, if you ever like watch interviews
with her, she just seems like a fun person, you know,
(01:31:21):
good sense of humor. Yeah, I've always been a fan
of hers. Blame the panda people for being called WWE. No,
you can blame Vince McMahon for that. They had an
agreement with the World Wildlife Fund, the panda people that
they clearly violated. This is something that people just sort
(01:31:43):
of gloss over. It's like, oh, it's the pandas, those
damn pandas. Like, actually, Vincent WWF at the time clearly
violated the agreement and the understanding that they had, so
not the first time he violated something. Anyway, I will
be back with you on Friday. We fell short of
(01:32:06):
our be the book or goal. This has been. This
has been something that's happened here on Wednesdays a few times.
It's all up to you, guys. I'm sure we won't
