Speaker 1 (00:01):
Oh my goodness. The don Kallis family all over the
show tonight, which is what happens when you have most
of the roster under your tutelage. They of course were
in the final segment on the show, but they were
in multiple segments here on this episode of Dynamite. You
know who was not on this episode of Dynamite, That
guy right there. Two weeks now, it's been two weeks

(00:23):
since we saw the return of Wardlow at Forbidden Door.
He didn't really do much on the show last week,
not much of a follow up to his big return
after a year and a half. So tonight he wasn't
there at all. He wasn't even in the background. He
went from being the background noise to no noise at all.

(00:45):
So if you happen to see this man walking down
the street, if you happen to see him walking down
the side of the road, please call your local authorities
and alert them. They would really very much like to
know where this man is. Where is Wardlow? No one knows.
We'll leave that there in case somebody recognizes him. Maybe

(01:06):
they'll chime in. It also looks like they have written
Kenny Omega off of television based on the angle they
did at the end of Dynamite Here tonight. Kenny Omega,
you know, there's been some talk about him maybe being
a little beaten up. Dave Melter made it out to
sound like he was very beaten up, and I think

(01:26):
Kenny chimed in on social media and said, well, you know,
everybody is beaten up to some extent. He tried, he
kind of tried to play it down a little bit.
So I don't know if there's any particular injury that
this man is dealing with or not, but he certainly
didn't show any signs of an injury in the eight
man tag team made event tonite. But when the match
was over, Kenny Omega had a neck brace around his neck.

(01:49):
He was all laid out outside the ring after one
Kyle Fletcher put him, planted him, threw a table outside
the ring with a souplex, and it certainly, I mean,
the impression that I got, you know, watching the end
of the show tonight, was that we are not going
to be seeing Kenny Omega for quite a while potentially,

(02:09):
So he disappeared after his loss to Okada at all.
In we didn't see him again until Forbidden Door, when
he showed up to be a part of the big
lights out steel cage match, and now it looks like
he's gone again. The Roman reigns of AAW. He shows up,

(02:30):
there's an inevitable injury angle, he gets the shit kicked
out of him, and then we don't see him for
a while. That seems to be the story of Kenny
Omega here in AAW. But you know, last week we
were wondering which member of the Don Kallis family are
they setting up for a championship match with Hangman Page
in Toronto at all out, because that was the direction
that they went in, and realistically it could really only

(02:53):
be one of three names. Either Kyle Fletcher, who's the
TNT champion, Kazuska Okata who's the unified champion that seems
very unlikely, or the one member who does not have
a championship, which is Kenoski Takeshta, And I was thinking, well,
takesha is the one that would seem to make the
most sense in this equation. After tonight, it appears that

(03:17):
we got our answer. It looks like Kyle Fletcher is
certainly for Toronto. It looks like being set up for
a championship match against Hangman Adam Page based on the
angle they did with Fletcher and Omega at the end there,
and then he was talking some smack to Hangman. That's
how the show went off the air. So it appears

(03:37):
that Fletcher is going to be the chosen one again.
Just based on what we saw tonight, it looks like
he's going to be the chosen one for that spot.
You know. My thought on this, I mentioned this actually
on TNT last night, but maya idea was, I don't
know that there needs to be an aw World Championship
match at all Out if they don't have a real

(03:59):
suitable anger in mind for Hangman. Clearly they want to
get away from the MJF stuff for a little bit
and then they'll circle back around to it. Kyle Fletcher
is the TNT champion, you know, Kyle Fletcher has been
the TNT champion now for somewhere around maybe a month, right,
not that long. And it's just a weird thing to
me now that you're gonna slot him in a potential

(04:21):
World Championship match here at all Out. It just doesn't
seem necessary to me. Why not do a tag team match?
Why not save Kenny Omega? If he is all beat up,
save him for Toronto, because you know in Canada they
would love to see Kenny Omega. And I mean, I
suppose it's possible he can make his grand return on
TV before then and actually have a match on that show.

(04:43):
But I'm just saying, you know, based on the angle
that we saw here, this this felt to me like
their way of writing him off to where he may
not even be on the All Out show. Maybe I'm wrong.
Maybe he'll be back in two weeks and then they'll
set up Fletcher and Omega one on one in Toronto.
But let's assume that's not gonna happen. Why not do
Omega and Hangman in a tag team match? Been so

(05:03):
long since we've seen them as tag team partners against
the Kallus family, but against Kazuchka Okada and Kenoski Takeshta
because they have been teasing dissension. They've been teasing issues
between Okada and Takesha. First of all, you get a
great tag team match out of it. That's number one.
Number two, you could potentially then set up for a

(05:23):
World Championship match at wrestl Dream between Hangman and Takesha.
The following month, but you continue to play into these
issues between Okada, who obviously has history with Omegas, so
putting them in the ring together makes sense. But the
issues with Okada and Takesha can be furthered. So you know,
in my mind, I'm like, man, you know what I

(05:44):
could buy into that that would be a great attraction
for that show. They obviously felt differently. They wanted to
go a different way with it. And look, if this
is what we are going to get, if we are
in fact going to get Kyle Fletcher and Hang Page
and not Kyle Fletcher and Kenny Omeg at all Out,
It's even if he does wrestle Kenny Omega at all Out,

(06:07):
it's a great spot right for Kyle Fletcher to be in.
I'm not saying that. If you're Kyle Fletcher, you're fucking
loving this because you either get to work with Kenny
Omega or Hangman Page for the world championship. So it's
a great spot for him to be in, you know,
as the TNT champion going in there and challenging for
the world title. I will not object to them wanting

(06:27):
to throw a spotlight on Kyle Fletcher because he is
one of their you know, obviously their their marquee rising
young stars in the company that they've created here. So
that was how Dynamite went off the air tonight with
that angle at the end of their eight man tag
team match. Another all Star eight man tag team match.
We're getting an all Star women's tag team match on
Collision this weekend. We get them every week. Darby Allen

(06:50):
continues to make life a living hell for the Death Riders,
as the Death Riders have made life a living hell
for all of us for almost a year, so he
can continues to be a thorn in the side of
John Moxley. Is he still is trying to get that
match with Moxley. You know, they are obviously going to
be building to this in Toronto, but Moxley still has

(07:12):
not said yes to the challenge that Darby is laid out.
So everywhere Moxley goes, Darby is not far behind. So
they furthered that story, and actually he helped cost the
Death Riders possibly the aw tag team titles that they
challenge for tonight. Mercedes Monette, she has a challenger for
all Out Wait until you find out who it is,

(07:33):
you'll never guess, but she has a challenger for All Out,
the Women's World Champion, Tony Storm as of yet does not.
In fact, the only bit of Tony Storm that we
had on the show tonight was her basically begging somebody
to step up and challenge her for the championships. So
it's still an open question as far as who that
person is going to be. But Mercedes does in fact

(07:56):
have an opponent now for that show. What we got
on doneah tonight. We had three good matches on this show.
We had a TBS title match between Mercedes, Monet and
and Alex Windsor that was very good. We had a
tag team title match first defense for Brody King and
Bendido against Claudio and Wheeler You. And we had the

(08:19):
all star eight man tag team main event, the big
party match of the night. So those are your three
good matches here on this card, and lots of chaos
between what happened in the opening segment. There was chaos
in the segment involving Cope and Christian and FTR we
already know their matches official for the pay per view,
and then the insanity that we had their postmatch here

(08:40):
at the end of the show. Far as All Out
is concerned. We had two more matches made official for
that show, one of which is a TBS title match.
The other is Ricochet in the Gates of Agony. They
threw down the gauntlet to the Hurt Syndicate and MVP accepted.
So that's going to be a trios match that we
now know is happening in Toronto. And we don't know
about the world title match, but it seems likely that

(09:04):
we know who the challenger now is going to be,
so as far as the pay per view is concerned,
those were the key developments coming out of the show tonight,
but as far as the pay per view goes, that
was hardly the only development. We had some big news
today and before I even get into all the different
goings on here from the show itself, and I'll expand

(09:28):
more on this on the sound Off this weekend, but
I have to mention this because it broke today and
it was major news on the aw front. It is official.
Tony Khan blinked. Tony Khan has made the only move
that Tony Khan could possibly make in this situation. If
he was going to do something, it was the only
move that made sense. I'm actually kind of surprised that

(09:49):
he did it now that we're a few weeks out.
But Tony Khan went and has moved the start time
for All Out, one of his signature annual shows that
he is already locked in eight pm Eastern in Toronto
at the Scotia Bank Arena, he has moved the start
time of the show up by five hours. Instead of
eight pm Eastern time, the main card will now begin

(10:12):
at three pm Eastern time. You would assume then that
means that the pre show is starting either at one
or one thirty in the afternoon. It's going to be
a long day of wrestling, especially if you want to
try to catch all of it. It's going to be
a very long day of wrestling. So that was made
official today and obviously the reason for that, no matter

(10:35):
what anybody tries to tell you, I did see a
note from Fightful Select that said that people within AAW
Let me see if I can find the quote here.
It was a matter of people in AW sources saying
that the success of Forbidden Door being in the afternoon
helped contribute to the decision to move the All Out
car Well, I may have contributed in some small way,

(10:58):
but we know why the show was the show was
moved so that it is no longer in direct head
to head competition with WWE Wrestled Paloozo because WWE is
starting the ESPN Era, They're going to make a big splash,
and they are trying to drown out AW on one
of their signature weekends of the year. And Tony Kahn
really did not have any other move to make here

(11:20):
other than to move his show to a different time
so there would be very little overlap between the two
shows that he could have left it alone if he
wanted to and said, you know what, fuck you, I
was there first, and I'm not moving my show because
it sets a bad precedent now for the future, where
what's he gonna do. Is he gonna move future shows
as well? Is this going to be a regular recurring

(11:41):
thing where Tony is going to be forced to announce
something and then move his show. He's not going to
want to do that. So I could see where people
would think that it's a bad precedent to set. But
in this case, if I were in his shoes, I
might have done it a little sooner, but I would
have made the same move because as much as the

(12:01):
AW diehard fans are are very loyal to AW and
they will be watching All Out no matter what. There
is a lot of overlap between the two audiences. You
do have a lot of fans who are going to
be forced to choose if they want to watch one
show live over the other, and then they try to
avoid spoilers so nothing gets spoiled. So you know, for

(12:21):
some people it's an important decision to make. I can
only watch one live and I want to just focus
my attention on one. Which one do I choose? And
there are going to be people who were going to
choose the WWE show. In this case, he is taking
away the head to head competition and saying, you know what,
we'll get an early start. We'll jump out first, and
what we'll try to do is put on a show

(12:44):
that makes you not want to flip the channel because
by the time they get to the latter portion of
the All Out Show, WWE is already going to be starting.
There's no way, there's no way the AW show is
going to be over when the WWE show. The WA
show starts at seven o'clock Eastern, not eight to seven
pm start. This is an AW pay per view. You

(13:07):
honestly believe that that show is going to be over
at seven o'clock. Of course not, but if they're in
the middle of a major match, if they could time
it just right, maybe the main event is on and
they're and they're putting together a kick ass show. Maybe
there are some people who will not want to flip
away from that, right, So that's that's the only real
competition that we'll have between those two shows that night.

(13:30):
In my opinion, AW afternoon shows are much better. I
prefer the AW afternoon shows. Tony Kahn loves putting on
these marathon shows. He loves just stockpiling these shows with
as many matches as he can possibly give you. Every
time that he puts on a pay per view, he

(13:51):
wants to give you the best pay per view that
you've ever seen in your entire life. And that's that's
a noble goal to have. But what we end up
with these marathon shows, and you know what, if you're
gonna have a marathon show four hours, five hours. They
had a show a few months ago that was five
and a half hours. If you are going to do that,

(14:13):
it is much better to do it at three o'clock
in the afternoon or one o'clock in the afternoon than
it is to first start that show at eight o'clock
at night, because whether I was doing this show or
I'm just watching as a fan and nothing more, that's
too long. I'm sorry, it's too long to first start
a show like that at eight o'clock and then at
twelve thirty in the morning it's still going. And I

(14:36):
know it's happened before because I've had to push reviews
back until almost one o'clock in the morning because of
this shit. So on a personal level, I favor the
afternoon shows. I find them to be more tolerable that way.
For me as a fan and as a content creator,
what it means now is that I will be able
to watch aw wall Out live for the most part.

(14:58):
I'll be able to watch that show live and get
most of that done and then switch over to the
WWE show, and then go live that night to cover
the WWE show, and then the next day I have
the sound off that I record and I can cover
all out on the podcast. So for me personally, it
makes my life a little bit easier than it would
have been if we had the head to head competition.

(15:19):
It's just the nature of when the podcast drops. You know,
my show drops on Sundays every week, so fuck me.
If we had to do this head to head shit
on a Saturday night, yeah, it's going to be a problem.
So I love it. I'm glad that he made this move.
A little surprised that he did. I thought he was
going to stay the course, But I think it was

(15:40):
the right move to make. It's the right move to
make if you're someone like me. Maybe it's the right
move to make if you're in the same boat with
me and you prefer the afternoon shows. However, that is
not necessarily true for everybody who is going to either
be watching the show or more importantly, be in attendance
at the show, because there are some people who are
going to be fucked by this move. Tony kh had

(16:03):
already moved in excess. I think of ten or eleven
thousand tickets for this pay per view, Like the advance
on that show is very strong. There are people who
were planning to be at all out. Maybe they were
gonna go with friends or whatever the case may be,
and they were going to an eight o'clock show. All

(16:24):
of a sudden, Tony Kah says, you know what, we're
gonna move that up five hours. Not everybody who bought
a ticket is going to be able to go to
the show, or maybe now they're going to have to
cancel this. They're going to have to rearrange that. Now.
Imagine if you don't live in Toronto, if you're elsewhere
in Canada, if you're not even in Canada, you're in
the US, you're flying to Canada for the show, You've
already booked your airfare, You've already booked your hotel. Like,

(16:47):
you're fucked. You're fucked. You've got to figure something out now.
And I sympathize with those people. Those people have every
right to be upset by this move. You were never
going to be able to please everyone by moving the show.
For me, I love it. For those people, it sucks
to be you, and you have every right to be
upset about that. But Tony Kahan made what he felt

(17:08):
was going to be the best decision he could make
for business, and for business, he did not want to
go head to head with not just the WWE show,
but they're loading that show up, you know, intentionally loading
that show up. And because it's the first ESPN show.
That's what all the stories are going to be about,
and the whole weekend is going to be about that.

(17:30):
So he just felt, you know what's it's in our
best interest to move this show, and in the best
interest of some of our fans to move the show,
but not all of his fans. So it cuts both ways,
and I totally understand why some of those people would
be upset. Now, the other element here is that not
only is this show being bumped up to three o'clock
Eastern Time, but it will be the first AW pay

(17:52):
per view. Finally, after all the months of talk and
waiting and waiting and waiting for some kind of update
on HBO Max, going all the way back to last fall,
the first AW pay per view that will be streaming
live on HBO Max will be all out. You will
have the ability via Max to buy the pay per view.
Keyword there is by This is not a peacock situation

(18:15):
where you just open the app and boom, it's there
and that's it. You will have to pay for the show. Now,
that was always going to be the case. That's not
a shock. It might be a disappointment to some people,
but you can't say if you've been paying attention. You
can't say, oh, I was surprised by this, Like we
already knew you were gonna have to pay for the show.
AW is not out of the pay per view business.

(18:36):
Pay per view is still the lifeblood of this company. Clearly,
you know, domestically week to week it's not their attendance,
but as far as pay per views, they still rely
on that pay per view income. Tony Kan just had
a ring of honor pay per view last week where
shit went sideways with the stream and he opted to
put the second half of the show up on YouTube
and stream it for free on YouTube, which was a

(18:58):
very cool move on his part. By his own admission,
he claims he did that even though he was going
to lose hundreds of thousands of dollars. That's what he claims.
That's that's for a ring of honor pay per view.
The AW pay per views are the ones that really
make money. There's still a pay per view business. I know,
pay per view is kind of an antiquated model at

(19:19):
this point. We just had Mark Shapiro of TKO talking
about how pay per view is dead. We made this
deal to move UFC over to Paramount plause pay per
views a thing of the past. Then Dana White came
out and basically contradicted it and said that we might
still do some pay per views, but it is it
is an antiquated model, right. Pay per view is not
what it was thirty years ago. But they rely on that,

(19:42):
and I understand that it may be a necessary evil
for them. What I was waiting to find out is
what would be the discounted price, because there has to
be some sort of you know, appeal when it comes
to HBO Max that would make you want to watch
the show there as opposed to wherever else you normally
only would watch these shows. Now, for me, it's YouTube.

(20:03):
They've been offering the pay per views through YouTube. I've
opted to just buy them through there. Some people watch
them on Triller, some people watch them on Amazon Prime.
I know PPV dot com. You can still watch it there,
and there's a few other ways that you can watch
these shows. So and by the way, the shows will
still be available on all of those platforms. They're not

(20:23):
going away, but you will have to pay fifty bucks
at least in this country. I don't know how it
is elsewhere, but you will have to pay fifty bucks,
So what are they going to charge to watch it
through HBO Max. To me, the sweet spot was around
thirty bucks. You would save twenty dollars per pay per view.
Obviously I wish it was lower than that, but I thought,

(20:45):
you know, thirty thirty is reasonable. Thirty would be like
a real discount. Although for this first show we just
got we just had a whole discussion about this, and
I brought this up on TNT last night. For this
first show, I would have thrown like as a fuck
you to WWE, Like I didn't even know that Tony
was going to move the showtime. My thought was, you

(21:05):
throw that pay per view on there for free, just
the first one, just to try to reel in as
many people as possible. Hey, look, guys, celebrate with us.
It's a big party. We're finally bringing these pay per
views to HBO Max. And because we love you guys
so much, guess what you can be all in for
all out and not pay anything whatsoever, right or something

(21:27):
like that, just to bring people in. And then going forward,
you can price these things out at twenty bucks, thirty bucks,
whatever it is. The price point is going to be
forty dollars. We found that out. I've been waiting months
to find out what this so called discounted price is
going to be. Instead of paying fifty bucks if you
have MAX or if you get MAX, you will only

(21:49):
only only pay forty dollars for these pay per views.
That's a misfire. Now, I don't know if Tony. I
don't know how much sway Tony himself has in that
decision on what to charge for these pay per views
through Max. I truly don't because when people ask Tony

(22:11):
Kin about the Max numbers in terms of viewership, he
always claims, honestly, I don't know, which blows my mind,
by the way, unless he's full of shit, it blows
my mind that he would have no insight, especially a
guy like him who's into metrics and all kinds of stuff.
The numbers right, But he has claimed before that I

(22:32):
don't know, but I'm told we're doing really well. So
if you take him at his word, even Tony himself
isn't aware of how his weekly shows are performing numbers
wise on HBO Max. Who's to say that he would
have had any input into how much they're charging for
these pay per views. That may well have been a
Warner Bros. Warner Brothers Discovery call. But whoever made that call,

(22:56):
I think it's a mistake because if you really want
wanted to offer a discount and get people to shed
whatever platforms are that they usually watch these shows on
and make HBO max their exclusive home for these pay
per views, I think you got to do a little
bit better than forty bucks because you have a few
different tiers on HBO Max. Right, you have three tiers.

(23:18):
I mean all these streaming services, they all have different tiers. Right,
they have one with ads, they have one without ads,
they have one with some ads. So with HBO Max,
which I think is one of the more expensive streaming services,
they do have a basic level with ADS for nine
to ninety nine a month. So think about it if

(23:39):
you don't subscribe to HBO Max, and it would be
totally understandable if you didn't, because there's so many streaming
services and now you got the ESPN streaming service ten
dollars a month for the most basic level of HBO
Max with ads. If you are forced to pay the
ten dollars a month that you were were not paying

(24:00):
before just to get these pay per views and you're
getting a discounted rate of forty dollars. You're still paying
fifty bucks a month if that's all you watch on Max. Now,
there's a lot of people who watch other shit on
HBO Max. Some people don't. There are a lot of
wrestling fans out there. They just watch wrestling, you know.
I mean if all those years like Raw would be on.

(24:22):
I lost count after a while of how many shows
USA Network would put on or Spike TV would put
on after Monday Night Raw to try to use the
wrestling audience as elite in for whatever bullshit show they
were putting on after wrestling, and they cycled through so
many different shows over the years. The wrestling audience wanted
to watch wrestling. I think the only show that ever
had any real success in that spot was The Ultimate Fighter,

(24:45):
and boy did that blow up into something. The wrestling
fans are very loyal to wrestling. They don't necessarily give
a shit about anything else. Not everybody is a big
sports fan and they watch you know, basketball and football
and all this other stuff. So you have people out
there who don't need MAX, but for aaw you get
no discount. If you fall into that category, you get

(25:07):
no discount, you're still paying fifty bucks even worse if
you pay for one of the higher tiers, because the
middle tier is the standard one that's seventeen dollars a month,
and then the premium one is twenty one dollars a month.
So if you had even the standard one, you're paying
seventeen dollars a month plus forty for each aw show.

(25:30):
You actually end up paying more than you would for
just buying the pay per view on YouTube or Amazon Prime.
You may as well just buy it on there. So
I just think that price point is a misfire. They
could have done a lot better on that front. Whoever
made that call, whoever is responsible for that. But at
least now it is on Max. Finally, it's just another

(25:55):
platform of many that you can purchase these pay per views.
Moving the all out card to three o'clock, though, I
think was the right move. Some people are going to
be upset about it. They're going to say, oh, Tony,
you know, he's running away from WWE. He's making a
business decision, that's it. That's all it is. He's making
a decision that he feels is going to help his

(26:16):
show and help his company. At the end, of the
day because there's nothing he can do. WWE is going
to stack that wrestle Paloza show up. I mean, look
at some of the matches that they're already teasing for
that show. They're stacking this thing up like it's a WrestleMania.
There's nothing he could do other than move the show.
There was nothing he could do, but I think he

(26:39):
made the right call. Today's episode is sponsored by Betterhelp.
You can find advice for everything these days, my god.
I mean, good advice is one thing that's great, but

that this week, and I'm sure more will come out
about what went into the decision making on this. But
this is your aw Dynamite review. It is Wednesday, September third,
twenty twenty five. I am the Solemn Monster. Thank you

(28:47):
for being with me here on a Wednesday night. We
already had one Nick Wayne's mom super chat job. They're
interrupting my intro, but that's okay. It's the best kind
of interruption. I'm okay with that. Like and subscribe. We
will be reading the super chats or the lifeblood here
of these streams. I appreciate the support very much. I

(29:08):
will be reading all of your messages. Duff's FIDS is
here with us. Get them on in and I will
be reading them here in just a little bit. I
do want to extend a thank you to our boy
death Site, who I believe is with us, and the
Chad Death Site dropped five gifted memberships before we even
went live, so thank you for that. Ex caliber. He

(29:30):
checked in on commentary at the beginning of the show
here and was interrupted by Gabe Kidd, who walked out
with a microphone and said, everybody is on his time.
And he got into the ring and he asked where
Darby Allen was, asking ye shall receive Darby. Allen entered
from behind. He attacked Gabe Kid. I think he emerged
from underneath the ring. Kid removed the turnbuckle pad. Darby

(29:56):
pulled him into the exposed buckle. Kid came back and
dumped Darby on the exposed steel and then worked him
over at ringside. Darby shoved him into the barricade. Kid
though turned around and just walloped him with a clothesline. Darby, though,
ended up going up top while Kid was busy arguing
with fans in the front row, and he hit a

(30:17):
top rope coffin drop onto a standing Gabe Kid on
the floor. They got back in the ring. Wheeler you'd
to enter it, Oh, Joy, Wheeler you to came out
and Darby quickly sent him back out of the ring.
Darby pulled out a skateboard that had thumbtacks in the
bottom of it and you to return. He was fighting
with Darby, who quickly got the better of him. Darby

(30:38):
went up and he used his feet to drive the
skateboard down into Judah's back. He had thumbtack sticking out
of his back. He's like a human pincushion. Darby then
turned his attention to Gabe Kid, who was down in
the corner. Here comes John Moxley, Here comes Claudia, Here
comes Marina Shaffir. They stroll out to ringside. The lights

(30:59):
go out up and the H signal hits the ceiling,
and then there was a second H. Then there was
a third AH. Triple H like triple H Mania. It
was a I promise you it was just a unintentional

(31:19):
slip of the tongue. When I was talking about triple
MANI called it a triple H MANI you imagine they
like hacked into the production system. Here we have three hs.
Fucking fucking Lemmy starts playing we had the one H,
only one H, and Hook his his krooner music plays.

(31:41):
I continue to maintain this music is a very poor choice.
It's his choice, apparently, but it's a poor one. He
comes walking out and before he even gets to the ring,
the music stops and it switches over to the ops.
Music and Samoa Joe comes running out. He blows past Hook.
Powerhouse Hobbs comes out, he blows past Hook. There was

(32:05):
no Shebata, and so there's just a giant brawl at ringside.
Willow Nightingale all of a sudden, I know where she
came from. Willow Nightingale is at ringside. She's fighting with
Marina Shafir, the Opster, fighting with the Death Riders. Hook
looked annoid by all this, and so it was just
an all out brawl with all the men and women
at ringside. Gave Kid and Darby. They fought backstage and

(32:30):
Kid was choking him. He was screaming that he wanted
to see him go unconscious. He swung a hammer wildly
like a madman, and he missed. Darby threw some powder
in his eyes, choked him out with I believe it
was a rag filled with ether, and then he put
him in a body bag. It was tied to the
back of a pickup truck. Taz referred to him as

(32:53):
a body bag Jones and body bag Jones got driven
off by Darby Allen as he drag the body bag
behind him. So it was a pretty chaotic start to
the show. If Gabe Kid is going to be sticking
around on a regular basis, and it looks like he
might be. Then it makes even more sense for Eddie
Kingston when he does come back, to make his return

(33:13):
as part of this death Rider's angle, and he can
go after Gabe Kid first because Gabe Kid obviously was
the one he was in the ring with when he
got injured over a year ago. But then it would
lead very nicely into the Eddie and Mock story and
just pursuing that further, and aw seems to be intent
on potentially adding new members and expanding the death Riders.

(33:37):
My goal here as I'm watching this show is to
go the exact opposite way. It's like coming to a
fork in the road. You can go left or you
can go right. Tony Kahn wants to go left. I
want to go right. I want all of you to
join me. Let's go this way, not that way. I
want this group to get smaller and then disintegrate into nothing.
I don't want to add more people to it. So

(33:57):
the quicker we get Eddie Kingston back, maybe he can
help facilitate that. But I do think that's the right
spot for him to be in. We had Mercedes Monette
defending her TBS championship here against Alex Windsor. Windsor was
in control until Mercedes power bombed her on the apron
outside That took us into a picture and picture break.

(34:19):
Later on, Windsor was looking for a sharpshooter. Monet, though
kicked out of it. She around the ropes, runs right
into a blue thunderbomb, though for a near fall. Then
she got the sharpshooter, replied Mercedes grabs the hair though
to escape and applies the statement maker. Windsor picks up
Monette and carries her money, though got a crucifix pin

(34:40):
for a two count. There was a backstabber here by Mercedes.
Windsor counter though with a power bomb Justin. Roberts then
gave us a time call that there were ten minutes
left in the match. Windsor is looking for the sharpshooter again.
Then both women end up rolling out to the floor.
Windsor does not let go of the she's got this

(35:00):
submission hole applied on her on the floor. Eventually, Mercedes,
though was able to get back in the ring by
the nine count. Windsor was waiting for her from the
top Mercedes, though countered with the bank statement. Windsor rolled through.
Mercedes though hit a backstabber which Alex no sold, and

(35:21):
then she blasted Money with a lariat. So both women
now are back to their feet. They're trading forearms. Windsor
hits a made in Japan to count only. Monette hits
Windsor on the top rope, grabs both arms and throws
her from the top. Statement maker is applied again. Windsor
thinks she has the rope brake. Money though, rolls her

(35:42):
back to the center of the ring. There's another try here,
Money though, kicks off the bottom rope, but it allows
Windsor to roll her up for a near fall. There's
another sharpshooter attempt. Money though countered into a roll up
and she got the pin to retain the championship. Big shock,
I know. After the match was over, Monette's talking shit

(36:04):
to Windsor. Windsor's trying to be the bigger person here.
She puts her hand out for a handshake. Mercedes walks
over as if she might shake the hand, but instead
she just flips her the bird and she turns around
to go walk away, and Alex Windsor is like, I
don't fucking think so, So she double legs her, takes
her down to the match. She's gonna put her in
another sharpshooter. Mercedes there reaches up because she had the

(36:26):
belt in her hands, and she just whacks her right
in the head with the belt. So Monette now gets
the statement maker applied, and all of a sudden we
hear music and even I know this music. I know
exactly who this music is for. It is the music
for ReHO. Now Mercedes has the hole applied in a

(36:49):
way where she can look at the aisle and she
is waiting for ReHO to come out. Riho, though, emerges
from the crowd behind her. Mercedes doesn't know. And by
the way, when they hit Riho's music, and Rijo came
out big pop here from the nine hundred people that
were packed into the twenty three hundred arena because this

(37:10):
was the second week in a row that they were
at the old DCW arena. So they pop for Rio.
Rio goes up top and she comes off with a
double stomp that breaks up the statement maker, and then
she sent Monette packing with a hard basement drop kick
that sent her out of the ring. As hard as

(37:30):
one can deliver such a dropkick at ninety eight pounds,
but that's what she did, and she knocked Mercedes outside.
She helped Windsor back to her feet. She grabbed Mercedes
TBS title, she was admiring it and she held it
up and that is how things came to an end.
So that answers the question as far as who's next

(37:52):
from Verseill, because last week I'm looking at both women's
champions and I have no idea. It seemed pretty obvious
that Alex Windsor was going to get another shot, and
then they just went and announced the match for Dynamite tonight.
I thought they were going to save it for All Out.
At that point, I'm like, I don't know who's next,
and I don't know who's next for Tony Storm either.

(38:14):
There was no real clarity last week on the Women's
championship picture. Now we know, and Tony Khan has made
it official. At All Out it will be Mercedes Monette
defending her TBS championship against ReHO. Riho has been out
since July of twenty twenty four. She broke her wrist.

(38:38):
That was in her collision debut against Lady Frost. Remember
she came off the top rope. It's like a diving
elbow to the floor outside. She broke her wrist. She
finished the match. She wrestled a few more minutes with
a broken wrist and won. She won the match. That
don't work for ReHO, brother, I'm going over, and then

(39:02):
we never saw her again. So it's been well over
a year. She comes back and she's automatically in a
TVs Championship match against Mercedes, just like that. Didn't even
have to win a match. That's how cool Riho is.
She just shows up and Tony Kahan or just puts
the graphic up. Within five minutes, there it is. It's official.

(39:27):
So that is the TVs Championship match for all Out.
I certainly was not expecting Riho to be in this spot. Look,
Riho is. The fans love Rio every time she comes out,
even before she got hurt, like they do cheer for her.
They like her, and they find her. I guess they

(39:50):
find her fun to watch, or they just think, oh
she's so sweet, she's so tiny. They like Riho. Okay,
so I acknowledge that the fans are big porters of hers.
What ReHO is in this situation, is a warm body
to put in there to lose to Mercedes because we
are oh so close to her becoming the longest reigning

(40:12):
TBS champion of all time. ReHO is not going to
interrupt that. I don't know why they couldn't just extend
the Alex Windsor thing until all out, because Alex Windsor,
she's still relatively new. They've put some shine on her.
She was in the four way at Forbidden Door, she
didn't take the losing fall, and then they tease that

(40:35):
they were going to continue with this this feud between
her and Mercedes. I'm like, okay, well, that seems like
it's going to be the all out match that'll bridge
the gap between now and October, because we still have
some time between now and then. And then Justin Roberts
gave the ten minute time call, and I'm like, okay,
I see what they're doing here. They're going to go

(40:56):
to a time limit draw, no winner. You run it
back at all maybe it all out. It's no time limit, right,
but you run the match back. But then Mercedes rolled
her up and beat her, and it was actually more
like she survived Windsor. It wasn't like a dominant win.
That's how Mercedes has won most of her matches. Though,
that's how she won it Forbidden Door. It was on

(41:16):
some kind of roll up or wacky pinning combination. She
just gets by, you know, by the skin of her teeth.
But that's how she's been retaining her championship for the
most part. I don't understand why they couldn't have just
extended the Alex windsor stuff. At least there was a
story there and extend that into the pay per view. Instead,
it's like we blew it off on TV for really

(41:37):
no good reason to bring back Riho, who hasn't been
around in fifteen months or fourteen months, whatever it's been,
and just like that, like boom, she's in a TBS
title match. Not what I would have done, but that's
how Tony Kahn wanted to reintroduce Rijo. So good. She'll

(41:58):
go in there, she'll lose, She'll be the next one
to lose Mercedes, and then the question becomes who's next.
After that, it'll be on to the next loser. And
I guess that's how this is gonna work. Riho is
like a mini EO Sky. She is very tiny. She's
about ninety eight pounds. But she's been there since day one.

(42:19):
Think about that, right, wasn't she the first champion? I
believe she was. I believe Rejo was the first AW
women's champion, So she's been there since day one. She's
an AW original. But you know, silly me, I thought
that whether you were an AW original or not. You know,
for a guy who used to run rankings on his
shows and doesn't anymore, but you would think that he

(42:41):
would at least be sensitive to bringing her back and
maybe letting her rack up some wins before she challenges
for the TBS title. But evidently he feels differently now.
Renee was backstage with Samoa, Joe and Powerhouse Hobbs asking
them where Hooks stay with the ops, and Joe said,

(43:02):
you know, I'd like to know that too, and Hook
walked in at that moment said that he didn't need
either one of them fighting for him. He'll fight his
own battles. Hook said that you replaced me before my
body was even cold, and Hobbs took exception to this
and said, look, I've always had your back, and so
Joe calms him down and interjects said, you know what

(43:25):
Hook is right. We didn't wait for the body to
be cold because we saw an opportunity. That's why we're
the ops, ops being the key word. We saw an opportunity,
we took it, and we won the trios titles. He said, look,
we didn't come out here tonight to save you. I

(43:46):
don't know. I don't even know what that meant. It's
not like Hook needed saving. Hook literally just walked out.
The fuck doesn't need saving from. But Joe said, we
didn't come out to save you. We have business of
our own to handle. Hook has every right to be upset.
Joe says he made the call, and Hook needs to
realize that at some point he's going to need their help,

(44:06):
whether he wants it or not. He's going to need
their help and they will still have his back whether
he wants to accept it or not. And Hook looked
very frustrated by what he was just told and he
walked off. I'm glad they addressed this. It was very
weird the way that they brought him back last week,
and they just brought him back to attack Wheeler Yudah

(44:27):
and then leave because he came back at anarchy in
the arena. Very briefly, remember he actually assisted the ops
and all the babyfaces, but it looked like he wasn't
really happy with them. And then he turned and he
left because Joe was like all excited to see him,
welcome back. And then Hook just turned around and left.
And it's like, Okay, where's this story going to go?

(44:47):
That was in May. That was in May, So here
we are in September. Now, maybe now we can pick
up with this story. And so at the very least
you have to I have a segment, which is what
we had here, although this looks like it's gonna go
beyond just this one segment, but if nothing else, you

(45:08):
needed to do a segment like this to at least
explain in very basic terms what the issues are there
or what his standing is with this group, even if
it's just Hook going you know what, guys, I get it.
You did what you had to do. But I got
to fight my own battles and stand on my own
two feet. And Joe is like, I respect that, and

(45:30):
they fist bump and they go their separate ways. It
could have been as simple as that, but just don't
ignore the story, right, it has to be addressed. So
I was happy that they addressed it here, and it
was a very basic explanation, but what they said was
perfectly sensible that Hook would be upset, like I got
hurt and before the body was cold, you guys went

(45:52):
and replaced me with somebody else and won the titles
that I should have been holding with you. So, yeah,
that's gonna bother him. It's understandable, and we'll see how
Hook reacts to the situation when eventually he needs their
help and they come out to help them. Is he
going to attack them? Is he going to accept their help?
I don't know. But at least they're telling that story

(46:13):
and they're not just dropping it and moving on, which
they have done with stories before. At least they're not
doing that here. Ricochet was backstage with the Gates of Agony.
He said that his problems with the Hurt Syndicate predate
well before aw His issue is for them, it's just
business for the Hurt Syndicate, that is for them, it's personal.

(46:38):
The Hurt Syndicate have relied on their past accomplishments. And
as soon as he said that total Leona just exploded him, like,
oh my god, he speaks. He exploded, saying that that's
all they have left. Referring to their past accomplishments, he
said Brodido may have won the tag team titles, but
they were the ones who ended the Hurt Syndicate's rain

(46:59):
and their legacies. Next, Ricochet said that unlike the Hurt Syndicate,
they're not washed up. Their future is ahead of them,
and he wasn't challenging them to a match. He was
demanding a match with them in Toronto at all Out.
At this point, Mark Briscoe made his way out to
the ring. He spoke about how he and his brother

(47:20):
fell in love with pro wrestling. Inside this arena, brisco
turned his attention to Don Callus and he remembered Callous
saying that Briscoe had to beat one of the members
of his family in order to get a shot at
the TNT Championship and Kyle Fletcher. So he called for
Callous to come out and reveal his opponent. Who am
I going to have to beat up? Don Callus walks out,

(47:42):
He's got Rocky Romero with him, He's got Lance Archer
with him. I guess that's supposed to be Those are
his heavies. Those are the guys that are going to
watch his back and make sure nobody puts their hands
on him. Have you seen this man, by the way,
I didn't see Loow out there. I don't know. Maybe

(48:02):
he was in the back, Maybe he had food poisoning,
maybe he was in the back taking a shit. He
certainly wasn't on this show tonight we had Rocky Romero though,
and Lance Archer. So brisco is very impatient to get
his answer, Callus said, but he's a little busy getting

(48:24):
Kyle Fletcher and Josh Alexander ready for the main event tonight.
Callous said, Briscoe's natur will take place this Saturday on
Collision and it will be against the Alpha Kenoski. Takeshta.
Takeshta came out, had a very brief stare down. He
got into the ring and had a brief stare down
in the ring with Mark brisco No physicality there. The

(48:47):
best line in this was Tony Schavanni. Tony Shavanni was
commenting on how lean he looks. My goodness, look at
how Lean Takeshta looks. And then Taz is like, dude,
he's he's wearing a shirt, He's wearing a dress shirt.
He's like all dressed up and Tony's like, yeah, but
you know he uh, he just totally busted his balls.
I thought the same thing. I'm like, what are you

(49:08):
talking about? Man? So I fucking dressed up. So Callous
went to go leave with the family. Brisco said he'll
see Takashta on Saturday on Collision, but he wants to
fight right now, and Rocky Romero started to take his
jacket off, and Callous said that he would rather go

(49:29):
with Lance Archer instead, so he went. He went with
Lance Archer. Now, imagine for a moment, just to magic,
if Tony Kahan had even made a modest attempt at
feeding some wins to Lance Archer against some credible opponents.
I'm not even counting the Ring of Honor matches because

(49:50):
he just gets fed jobber after jobber and Ring of
Honor and nobody's watching really or paying attention to it,
So I don't count that. If he's going to be
on this show, then this is the roster that we're
focusing on here, not Ring of Honor. And if he
had even taken a little bit of time to try
to give this man a shred of credibility outside of
the fact that he's a big scary looking guy that

(50:10):
will only take you so far. Yeah, we talk about
aw originals and people that have been there for years
and years. I don't remember if Lance Archer was there
from day one, but if not, he was pretty close.
He was there day two. He's been there for a
long time and there over the years were some start
and stop pushes with him, but for the most part,
Tony con has never pushed him in any serious, meaningful way.

(50:33):
So when he comes out there, and as soon as
they made the match, Mark Briscoe against Lance Archer like
automatic l like you know, before the bell even rings,
you know exactly how this match is going to go.
And that is due in large part to the way
that this man has been booked over the years. So,
I mean, he's supposed to be this scary dude. Oh

(50:54):
my god, this is gonna be a tough challenge for
Mark Briscoe. It's like, well, yeah, it might be for
two seconds, but we all know how this is going
to end. So brisco immediately fought free from a choke
slam sent Archer to the outside. He hit a baseball slide.
Brisco charged again, but he jumped right into the clutches
of Archer, who hit a choke slam on the apron

(51:15):
Rocky Romero distracted the referee. His Archer turned the ring
steps on their side and then he choked slamb brisco
onto the steps as things went to commercial. Back from
the break, Briscoe caught Archer with a clothes line over
the top and a sumrsault Suiceeda followed back inside. Archer
backdropped out of a jade driller before flattening brisco with

(51:38):
another choke slam, only for two. Archer wanted to blackout
brisco though fought free into a shotgun dropkick. Both men
were down. Briscoe went up top only to get cut
off by Archer, who wanted an avalanche choke slam. Brisco
though bit his way free and this I don't know

(51:59):
what happened here. It was very awkward. He hit a
very awkward, nasty looking sunset bomb where Archer looked like
he landed hard on his shoulder. It it looked weird,
and then the froggy bow followed and Briscoe picked up
the wind. So, I mean, look, the match for what
it was supposed to be. The match was solid enough,

(52:21):
but it was a momentum win for Briscoe because he
just made the match with Takeshta for Saturday. He wasn't
losing to Lance Archer. It was the callous family way
of trying to soften this man up, and it didn't work.
So now Mark Briscoe has a win under his belt
and he gets to go in there with the Alpha
on Saturday. And here's the question. Now they have been

(52:46):
building this up to a potential TNT championship match between
Mark Briscoe and Kyle Fletcher, and now Don Kallis is
throwing these roadblocks in his way. Well, you have to
beat this guy. You have to beat that guy if
you want to get a shot at the title. So
he beat Lance Archer right as most people did. He's
going in there against Takeshna on Saturday. And does he

(53:09):
beat Takeshta and then get a TNT title match, Because
that's not how this feels to me. This feels like
they're just trying to throw us off here because mjf
is going to get involved, not in an eventual championship match,
but he is likely going to get involved in this
match on Saturday where it's brisco against Takeshta, and he

(53:31):
will never even get the TNT title match against Kyle Fletcher.
It feels to me like it was never even designed
to get him to a championship match. MJF will fuck
him over this weekend, and then that will take us
into MJF and Mark Briscoe, with brisco never even getting
a hold of Kyle Fletcher. Because you watch the end

(53:52):
of that show tonight, Kyle Fletcher's got bigger fish to
fry here. He's got more important names to be working
with than Mark Briscoe. So I don't even think we're
getting a TNT title match at all. I also don't
really want to see Takesha losing to Mark Briscoe. I'm
hoping that MJF is there on Saturday and screws Briscoe
out of a win and then we can move on

(54:15):
from this. Earlier today, timeless Tony Storm was there in
an empty twenty three hundred arena, saying she wants the
attention of the Philadelphia Freaks. Insanity is relative, so she
promises to be the most batshit bitch to piss in
this sink. What a visual Storm is a woman in

(54:38):
search of her murder, a character in search of a plot.
No belt collector or Forever Champion could take the AW
Women's title from her. So she is begging for any
woman to play the role in the greatest show on Earth.
Not to worry. God doesn't judge. That's my job. I
have no idea who this person is going to be.

(55:01):
They've thrown it open. It could be anybody. You know.
When I think of the AW Women's roster, all the
key players are already accounted for, or she's already beaten them.
Athena had her shot right, didn't work. Athena just got
bounced at forbidden Door. They're not going back to that.
I wouldn't think. Yeah, you think about the triangle of Madness,

(55:24):
and you know Tekla, and then you've got Megan Bain,
been there, done that. She already beat Megan Bain twice,
wasn't it twice or maybe once? I don't remember now,
but so that's been done. Chris Statlander's got her thing
going on Willow. No indication of Willow Nightingale. Jamie Hayter

(55:45):
just came back. She's involved with Tecla. Mercedes is doing
her thing with Riho. So I shift my attention now
to potential new signings, and I do wonder because it's
about that time that they should be available. There are
two women in particular who were let go by WWE
earlier this year. One of them is Dakota Kai. Could

(56:08):
we be seeing a Dakota Kai debut in AW where
she steps up and challenges Tony Storm for the championship.
You could say the same thing for Shana Basler. Shana
Basler has a friend already working in AW and Marina
Shaffir is she on her way in? I don't think,
by the way, either one of these women or the answer.

(56:28):
I'm just throwing these names out there because I think
it's a possibility. I think this, I think would be
very stupid. This is your Women's World champion. You have
set up a TBS title match already for this pay
per view with a woman who just came back, has
not wrestled a match since July of twenty twenty four.

(56:50):
She's already vaulted into a TBS championship match. I think
the person who should be challenging Tony Storm should at
least have some you know, as far as get a
championship match, should have some legitimate reason for doing so.
If they just turn it into an open challenge where
anybody can step up. Well, that just tells me that

(57:10):
they're just shit out of ideas and they have no
idea who to put in the ring with this woman,
or maybe they should have had somebody else beat her
for the belt before now, And now they're kind of like, well,
we don't really have any other great ideas for Toronto,
so we'll kind of throw it open because I don't
know who else it would be. Maybe there's somebody I'm
not thinking of. Don't know who that person would be,

(57:34):
but I feel like now we're at that point with
Tony is as great as she is, She's beaten all
the big names. She beat Mercedes, only woman to beat Mercedes,
she beat Athena. Who's left. Jamie's not ready. I'm looking
longer term, if she's still the champion. I'd love for

(57:55):
it to be Jamie. Jamie's not ready. What are you
kidding me? Jamie is only marginally being treated better than
Wardlow is right now. At least she was going back
and forth I think on collision with Techla. At least
she's doing something. Wardlow's not doing anything. He's sitting in
the corner room my fucking screen right now, there just
doesn't seem to be a great option. Today's episode is

(58:18):
sponsored by Hymns. It's an experience a lot of men
are terrified of. They look in the mirror one day
and they notice their hair is starting to thin. It
doesn't happen at the same age for everyone. For some
it happens earlier than others. But maybe it runs in
your family. Maybe it's a hereditary thing. There are lots
of reasons that it happens. But you see it and
you think, well, that's it. My life is over. It's

(58:40):
baseball hats for me from now on. Seriously, do you
know how many men are walking around right now with
a Mets hat on their head who probably couldn't even
name three players on the entire team. They just need
an excuse to cover up on top. But guys, you
don't need to live your life that way. It happens
way more than you think, and there is a way
to reverse the problem. It really works with Hymns. You

Prescription required. See website for full details, restrictions and important
safety information. Rene interviewed Harley Cameron. It's not going to
be her either. Harley Cameron and Chris Statlander in the back.

(01:00:30):
Cameron said that she and Statlander are undefeated as a team.
She said that they are headed straight to the top.
They're coming for Brodido. So Statlander calmed her down, talked
about facing the Triangle of Madness, not to Brodido. Wheeler
you to showed up. He's getting way too many segments
on these shows. Wheeler you to showed up. You to

(01:00:52):
told Statlander that the Death Writers have her back because
Moxley in the past has tried, you know, giving her
some advice. It's almost like he's trying to maybe recruit
her into the Death Riders. So then Marina Shaffir entered
the picture and she stared at Statlander intently. Statlander stared

(01:01:13):
back at her, and Statlander said that she and you
could tell their friend that they got his message. You
could tell how tense the stare down was getting with
Shaffir at Statlander, and so he said, I'm gonna go
wrestle now, and he pulled Shaffir away with him. So
that makes two people that the Death Riders appear to

(01:01:35):
be trying to recruit John Boxley, by the way, is
wrestling Daniel Garcia again on Collision this weekend, so we'll
get more of that story then. But it looks like
they're trying to recruit these two people. This is a terrible,
terrible thing. No new members, less members, no new members.
We're going the wrong way here. We had Brodie King

(01:01:59):
and Ben in their first defense of the aw tag
team titles against of course, the Death Riders. It was
Claudio Casignoli and Wheeler Dah another Wheeler Udah set. This
was the third Wheeler Uda segment on this show. Early
in the match, Bandido started doing the macarena. I don't

(01:02:22):
know where that came from, but he was doing the macarena.
Brody King politely declined to do it, which is too
bad because that would have been amazing. Bandido connected with
an impressive stalling vertical supplex on Claudio before going up
top for a dive, only to be caught with a
tilta world backbreaker. Claudio launched Bandido to the floor and

(01:02:43):
then Da pounced on him. As things went to commercial,
Shaffir grabbed Bandido's leg from the floor, which led to
the challengers taking control. Shaffir stood on the apron distracted
the referee while John Moxley came out and he ran
Brody King into the ring post. Claud toss Youdah onto Bandido,
which led to a good near fall. Claudio performed the

(01:03:06):
giant swing on Bandido, who was still swinging when dah
drop kicked him. Moxley approached Brody while the referee was
distracted by Claudio, and Darby Allen showed up. Darby Allen
attacked Moxley. Claudio went to ringside, he got taken out
by Brody King with a roundhouse forearm. Youdah ate one
as well, and he's in the ring and he's in

(01:03:28):
perfect position for Bandido to hit the twenty one plex,
and he takes down Wheeleryda and he covers him and
he gets the pin to retain the titles for his team.
A lot of outside interference in this match. It did
not mar the match from being good. It was a
good match. Bandido is awesome. And I don't know how

(01:03:49):
many of you, probably very few of you, so understandable,
but I don't know how many of you had the
chance to watch part of that ring of Honor pay
per view last Friday. I wrapped up my SmackDown review
early because I was able to watch SmackDown earlier and
it just, I mean, SmackDown sucks. At least it has
it has up until this point. I'm actually looking forward

(01:04:12):
to SmackDown this week, but for the most part, SmackDown sucks.
So I wrapped that up pretty quickly. And I also
realized that there were some streaming issues with the Ring
of Honor pay per view, and Tony Kah made the
decision that he was going to put the remainder of
the show for free up on YouTube, and I said, oh,
you know what's that's kind of cool and it's smart.
It's a smart thing to do. You may reel in

(01:04:33):
some new fans, and I was one of them because
I'm tuning into the show and I'm watching Paul Walter
Hauser and QT Marshall in a twenty minute hardcore match,
which was quite something, and I'm like, well, am I
regretting my decision now? And honestly, for the stipulation those

(01:04:55):
two were given, they made the most of it. It
was fun for what it was. In the old ECW arena,
you gotta have at least one garbage match on that show, right,
But then that led right into Bendido and Hetchisaro for
the Ring of Honor World Championship, and I watched that
entire match. Now, they did not need to go thirty
six minutes, especially when they weren't even the main event.

(01:05:16):
They saved Athena for the main event. They were second
to last. They won almost forty minutes. That's ridiculous, but
had an excellent match. Like those two guys, they threw
everything at each other. So if you just want a
balls to the wall fucking wrestling match in front of
a hot crowd, that ate up every single thing these
guys did. And you want to see Bendido at his

(01:05:37):
best because he's a lot of fun to watch, and
not taking anything away from Hetcha Saro in that match,
but I'm just saying it was an excellent match that
those two had. Darby Allen, he continues to terrorize the
Death Riders as he attempts to get that match with
John Moxley, which he's still waiting for, but he's going
to keep being a thorn in their side until he

(01:05:59):
gets what he wants. Renee spoke with the aw Unified
Champion Kazuchka Okada in the parking garage. I don't know why,
but that's where they were. She mentioned the recent tension
between Okada and Takeshta. Okata said, Takeshta calls himself the alpha,
but everyone knows Okada is the top dog in the
don Kallis family. Bitch. I mean, it's not really an

(01:06:25):
Okada promo, I guess unless he throws that in there
in the end. You can't really get any more direct
than that. It was simple, it was quick, and that
was the end of that. After a break, Renee was
with Bobby Lashley's Shelton Benjamin and MVP. They were outside
the venue. Asked if they accepted Ricoshet's challenge to a
trios match it all out. MVP said that Ricochet has

(01:06:48):
become a whiny joke. He wants to know what happened
to Ricky. He used to be fantastic wrestler, but now
he's nothing but a punchline. And speaking of punchline, he
saw Ricky saying that they should respect them wherever they go.
They are given a wide berth, they command respect. They
accept Ricochet's challenge, and MVP says that he looks forward

(01:07:09):
to lacing up his boots and punching Ricochet in his disrespectful,
bitch made mouth. So that match is now official for
the pay per view, it will be a trio's match.
Adam Copeland made his way out to the ring for
what was supposed to be a promo segment with him
and Christian Cage, but he got attacked by FTR in

(01:07:32):
the ring before Christian could even make his entrance. They
put the boots to Copeland. As Cage finally hit the
ring to even the playing field, security rushed out to
separate all four men, but they got beat up as
a result. Dax Horwood he got busted open by Christian
during the brawl. It's there was a huge group of
what we were told were Ring of Honor wrestlers that

(01:07:54):
got sent out by Tony Kahn to try to finally
get these guys separated. I noticed Jordan Olive was out there.
He was the one who ate the spike pileot driver
from FTR. Adam Priest was another one and he got
pie faced by Dax. So Priest started firing shots right
back at him and the crowd was chanting his name.

(01:08:15):
Ex Caliber brought up the fact that FTR just wrestled
Priest and JD. Drake on Collision last week. After a
commercial break, FTR was backstage with Stokely. Hathaway, who did
the talking for them, said that next time Copeland or
Cage put their hands on Stokely, it'll be a reckoning.
Harwood starts screaming at Adam Priest off screen, so he

(01:08:38):
walks over and apologizes, Oh, you know, I'm sorry, I
got all fired up out there. Cash Wheeler wasn't having
any of it. He bad mouthed him and said, who
are you. You're a nobody. You had one match on
TV and you think you were somebody. Wheeler told Priest
to get his gear and find a partner, and this
Saturday on Collision they will make him somebody. A little

(01:09:01):
odd shifting the focus here to someone that has absolutely
nothing to do with this feud against Cope and Christian.
In fact, that someone who, to my knowledge, not only
has he only had one match on AW television, I
don't believe he signed to a contract like this kid
came out of nowhere. So like they're shifting the story
over to him when the focus should be squarely on

(01:09:25):
FTR and Copeland and Christian. Now we have Adam Priest.
They're trying to give him some rub. It's like the
you know, I mean, they've done this before where they'll
they'll take somebody young or new and then they'll give
him a push for a few weeks and then you know,
they kind of blend in with everybody else. But I'm
not even sure he has a contract with them, so
I don't know. I find that to be a little
strange here. Otherwise a pretty standard pull apart segment. We

(01:09:47):
had chaos at the beginning of the show, so I mean,
there really wasn't anything terribly different about what they did
here outside of DA's, you know, getting some blood on
his head. The main event of the show was a
Tony Kahan special, his favorite match. It was an all
star eight man tag team match the aw World Champion

(01:10:13):
Hangman Adam Page teaming with Kenny Omega and Jet Speed Speedball,
Mike Bailey and Kevin Knight to take on the TNT
champion Kyle Fletcher, Josh Alexander and the Young Bucks. For
the Bucks entrance, they had their regular music the lower third, though,

(01:10:34):
where their name usually would be just said these guys again.
Then they showed footage from earlier today of them selling
signed eight y tens for fans for twenty bucks. It's terrible.
How how you get to treat these guys like that.
It's terrible. So the Babyfaces cleared the ring early and

(01:10:54):
then they dove out onto the heels. Later in the match,
Alexander set up for a move while he and Speedball
were on the barricade. Kevin Knight, though, took out Alexander
with a dive from the top rope. Nick Jackson and
Fletcher they teamed up for a tk driver on Kevin
Knight in the ring, and then Nick immediately hit the
same move with his brother on the apron or from
the apron to the floor on Speedball, and that took

(01:11:17):
us into one final commercial break. Late in the match,
the Bucks ended up in the ring with Omega and
Hangman held his hand out. Then Omega tagged him in
and we got flashbacks here of Revolution twenty twenty, still
one of the greatest matches in AW history. So the
former Elite members all traded shots. We were in overtime

(01:11:41):
here Alexander held Knight up in the pile driver position.
Nick spiked Kevin Knight. Fletcher followed up with a brainbuster
and then pinned Kevin Knight to win it for the Heels.
After the match was over, Lance Archer and Rocky Romero
they helped the Heels. Fletcher hit Omega with a chair
to the gut, which the production crew mostly missed. Fletcher

(01:12:03):
rolled Omega to the apron and then supplexed him through.
I thought maybe it was a brainbuster, but you know,
I watched it back. It was a supplex off. The
apron threw a table that was set up on the floor.
Fletcher came up bleeding from the back of his shoulder,
so he sliced himself up pretty good. There. As one
of the EMTs tended to Omega, Fletcher grabbed the EMT

(01:12:24):
had like a headset mike, and he grabbed the EMT's
mic and he said, oh, he's dead. He's dead, and
the EMT placed a neck brace on Omega. Fletcher was
talking shit to Hangman who was down laying in the ring.
He was over by the apron and that is how
they went off the air. Oh my god, they killed
Kenny again. Yes, Kenny Omega has once again, at least

(01:12:47):
for a few weeks. Been killed off here on this show.
You know, I said it before. Kenny Omega is in
that respect, he is very much like the Roman Reigns
here for them. He will come back, he'll do some
stuff for a little bit, and then they'll write him
off pretty quickly thereafter with some sort of injury angle.

(01:13:09):
They just did it with Roman Reigns actually the other week,
and here we go again with Kenny Omega being written
off in an injury angle here on TV. I remember
when the Elite were with Okada and Jack Perry and
Kenny Omega came back on TV, right. He was all
dressed up and they beat him up and they put
him on a stretcher and they bloodied him up. Like

(01:13:31):
we've seen this song and dance before. Lots of action
in the match. I mean, it's impossible to go through
all of it, but you know the usual party match
that you get here with these all star ape Man
tag matches. It's just one big spot after another after
another after another. As those types of matches go, which

(01:13:52):
again we get them every single week, but as those
types of matches go, this one was good. They put
a ton of heat on Kyle Fletcher there at the
very end, and they set up not one but two
future opponents for him and put them in whatever order
you want to put them in. I'm of the belief
in watching this that they're setting up for Hangman and
Fletcher in Toronto. It's also possible they're setting up for

(01:14:16):
Fletcher and Omega and Kenny will be back in the
next few weeks and they do that match. But then
who does Hangman wrestle? Right, I would guess Okata or Takesha,
But again I would have done a tag match. I
just I like the idea of doing that tag match.
I know you want to have a world championship match
on the show. I get it. There's been talking rumors

(01:14:36):
going around that they might main event the show with
Copin Christian against FTR, which I actually think is kind
of ridiculous if you don't have the tag team titles
on the line in that match, that you would close
the show with that, But especially if there's any chance
of that, you can get away with not doing a
World championship match on that show. They have so many
other fucking titles it almost doesn't even matter Hangman Omega

(01:14:58):
against Okata and Takesha. That's an attraction. Tag team match there,
but it also ties into you know, this this story
that they're telling with the two members of the Kallis family,
so I'm kind of bummed they're not going in that direction.
Hangman defending the championship against Kyle Fletcher. If that ends
up being the match, it'll be a great match. I'm

(01:15:21):
under no illusion of you know, getting a new champion
crowned or anything like that, and it would be champion
against champion, which I mean, it's not really ideal, but
it's a great spot for Kyle Fletcher to be in
if that's where he ends up. If each challenging for
the world title on that pay per view, good for him.
MJF and Mark brisco it seems pretty sensible to expect

(01:15:46):
that their rematch will take place on that show, which
is why I think we may see MJF screwing him
over against the Keshtra this weekend. I don't know that
we ever even get to Briscoe and Kyle Fletcher, so
we'll see how that goes. But I thought it was
a solid show on the whole, you know, especially, there
were enough good matches here amidst all the chaos. I

(01:16:06):
mentioned the women's match I mentioned the TAC team title
match and then the main event, so that was all
good stuff. But I will I will reiterate, you know,
don't bring people back if you don't have something good
for them to do. Don't do it like the Wardlow thing.

(01:16:27):
I will continue to make fun of them for that,
because it is just so like, there's no excuse for
how comically absurd it is that they would bring back
somebody like that. You know, he's not just a random schmo.
You know, he's not Kenny Omega, but he's also not
some random jabrone, even though they kind of book him
that way, and they should have made a bigger deal

(01:16:49):
about him being back, and we should have heard from
him and we didn't, and now he's not even on
the fucking show. Like, there's no excuse for that. It's
just it's preposterous to me. Why even bring him back?
If he disappeared and we didn't see him again, and
Don Callas came out there next week and the week
after and the week after with his family, if Wardlow
wasn't there and they had eight people instead of nine,

(01:17:11):
would anybody notice If people like me didn't bring it up,
probably not nobody would notice and maybe nobody would care.
But that's sad and very, very stupid. Here's a Twitter poll.
How would you grade Dynamite from the twenty three hundred arena.

(01:17:35):
Thirty percent give the show an A. Nineteen percent give
the show a B. About seventeen percent roughly give the
show a C. Thirty four point three percent give this
show a D. That is with over eleven hundred votes
in and counting. Sarah says, missing one week of TV

(01:17:59):
is not a concern to me. However, if he does
not show up for a month, I will agree. Well, Sarah,
you're also you know, not realizing or just not mentioning
the fact that even though he was technically on the
show last week, he did nothing. So the way I
look at it is that's two weeks in a row

(01:18:20):
of no follow up. After bringing him back at the
pay per view, you thought enough to do the angle
with Swerve where he beat up Swerve and he beat
up Prince Nana. And when they're ready to come back,
I mean, if he's not back, you know next week,
I'm sure Wardlow will be back just in time to
be uh, you know, wrestling Swerve when Swerve comes back,
and Swerve will beat him, but the follow up is

(01:18:43):
so important. It's just there's there's just no logical explanation
for it anyway. At Solomn Monsters, where you can go
vote in the poll. At least we got some good matches, right,
You take what you can get. We are currently at

(01:19:06):
three fourteen on the likes. Not looking good for be
the Booker. I don't think we're gonna have any issue
getting to be the Booker on Friday, but as far
as Wednesday, it's not looking good. Death scythe again, thank
you for those gifted memberships. He also sent it to
a couple of superchats, said not saying that Punk should

(01:19:30):
have slapped Becky, he's so interested in Dynamite. His first
superchat is about raw not saying that Punk should have
slapped Becky, but he should have done what Roman Ones
did with Stephanie in twenty sixteen when she tried to
slap him and he grabbed her hand to prevent it. Yeah,

(01:19:54):
but if nobody was going to run down to the
ring to then attack Punk from behind, she would have
just swung at him with the other hand, and so
Punk grabs her other hand. Now we're at a stalemate.
What happens, then if I'm Becky, I'm just kneeing him
in the fucking balls. Can't stop that. We all know
these people in WWE, they don't wear any protection down there.

(01:20:17):
I think that's been well established. Also, how much of
a big deal would it be if Mayui Watani left
stardom and went to either WWE or AW It would
be a very big deal. Maybe not to the people
who don't follow Japanese wrestling, but anybody who knows Mayui Watani,
that would be a very big deal. Dry Chickens says,

(01:20:39):
Happy early thirty year anniversary to WCW Monday. Nitro for
tomorrow when the Eagles and Cowboys play tomorrow night, I
will be playing the Nitro theme. Nitro theme was awesome.
The Nitro theme was bitchin Man. I love that theme. Carrie,
have you watched the new season of Peacemaker? I didn't

(01:21:03):
watch the first season of Peacemaker. I probably should though,
because it was pretty well reviewed. Joseph Stewart Buyer Sell,
John Williams Superman theme or Danny Elfman Batman theme. Danny
Elfman Man, Danny Elfman for the win. Danny Elfman had
some great music for the first, The Beatlejuice movie too,

(01:21:24):
Danny Elfman is awesome. Were you a fan of the
Men in Black movies? The first one? Yes, I didn't
see the other ones. If he had stayed in e CW,
do you think Sid would have become ECW champion and
the face of e CW. I mean, if you would
have stayed there and had a longer run, Yes, he

(01:21:46):
would have been the champion, but no, he was not
gonna be the face of ECW. Will you do a
special review on Raven's documentary? No? If he did not
get injured. Do you think Ahmed Johnson would have been
a big star in WWE? They were certainly pushing him
in that direction, so yes, I think he would have been.

(01:22:07):
I didn't understand what he was saying eighty five percent
of the time, I mean subtitles on my television screen.
But had he not gotten injured as much and didn't
hurt other people, then yes, he could have gone far. Uh.
What do you think Ahmed Johnson's role would have been
in the Attitude era if he had not left WWI

(01:22:29):
I don't think he would have had much of a
role in the Attitude era. Do you think Ahmed boy,
you got a lot of Ahmed Johnson questions. Hey, do
you think Ahmed Johnson will go into the WWE Hall
of Fame? No? I do not. Have you seen the
movie Cool World with Brad Pitt and Kim Basinger. No?

(01:22:49):
Did you know Robert Pattinson? Not? Do I know him?
Did you know Robert Pattinson's performance as Bruce Wayne was
an inspiration of Kurt Cobain and River Phoenix. No? I
did not. Actually, I'm amazed that you do. Though by

(01:23:11):
or sale the Death Riders or the don Kallis family,
I will still buy on the don Kallis family. You
have a family that has Kazuchka Okata, Kenoski, Takeshta and
Kyle Fletcher. I can't bet against that. That automatically makes

(01:23:32):
it the better of the two options. Dry Chicken says,
it's Lloyd Christmas, and he has a scale question for you,
a scale question from zero to a million. What are
the chances of brock Lesnar winning gold again in WWE?

(01:23:55):
I can't put it at zero, but I'll put it
as low as I can go without being zero, So
I'll go one. I think his championship days are done
Joseph says, buy or sell Raven's run in WCW or
Raven's run in e CW, Raven's run in ECW. Did
you watch the show Mama's Family and who is your

(01:24:16):
favorite character from Mama's Family? I mean Thelma, of course,
Vicky Lawrence. I watched some episodes of Mama's Family. I
didn't watch it religiously, but you know, I was aware
of the show. I saw some of the episodes, so

(01:24:38):
I gotta go Thelma. Do you remember the Goldberg and
Sid feud in WCW and were you a fan of
the feud. I was not a fan of the feud,
but I certainly remember Sid walking out to his car
in the parking lot and finding that it was smashed
into a pancake, standing on top of it and screaming
Goldberg at the top of his lungs like a cartoon character.

(01:25:03):
I certainly remember that. I mean, that's a classic late
stage WCW. Dry Chickens says Tony Kahn was helping out
pro wrestling fans today. Sure, unless you were one of

(01:25:23):
the fans who had bought tickets to the show and
now you can't go. But everybody else, Yes, I agree
Joseph Stewart. How different would Seth Rollins's career be in
WWE right now if they had gone with Roman against
Dean Ambrose at WrestleMania thirty. I think Seth's career would

(01:25:44):
be exactly where it is now. He would still be
a top star for them. I will say, though, that
would have been a very dumb idea, and I can
understand why Seth would have been upset about that. The
original plan for WrestleMania thirty was Roman Rain against Dean Ambrose,
like they were gonna split the shield in December or

(01:26:04):
January heading into WrestleMania thirty, and it was gonna be
Roman and Dean one on one and Seth, he figures
he may he maybe would have ended up as the
guest referee for the met Like it's just awful, awful idea.
It's a good thing that didn't happen. Death Sith at

(01:26:31):
twenty nine dollars super Chat Punk wins the Royal Rumble.
Instead of challenging Seth where he may or may not
headline night one, He's gonna challenge Cody where he will
definitely headline night two, and Punkin say, Seth, you're not
worth it. You never were so fuck you. I would

(01:26:52):
be down for punkin Cody. I would that, I would,
I would be down for that. I feel like we
would get some quality promos leading up to it. Linclex.
ReHO in the Bank is cashed in credit to Riho.

(01:27:15):
She only cut one promo in her entire time in aw,
which was translated by Michael Nakazawa. And still over with
the crowd, they Hey, they love ReHO. She always gets
a reaction when she comes out. ReHO in the Bank.
Duff's VIDs What do duck hunters like to eat with

(01:27:37):
their cheese? Quackers? Quackers death side? What did the priest
say to the altar boy who sneezed, bless you my child?
Like quackers better? Not bad? But I I think I

(01:28:00):
got I gotta go with Quackers over that gold standard
with the five dollars super chut Aw is just flat
out embarrassing. I know you like to see the good
in a company, but Punk was right. Tony Kahan is
not a boss? Why is that? Why is he not
a boss? You didn't explain what you mean by that?

(01:28:26):
I mean, I think again, I think he made a
pretty wise business decision. Myself today by moving the show
from eight pm to three pm. I don't know if
that's what you're referring to, but Emperor Comment Dynamite gets

(01:28:47):
an S plus plus plus just for Riho Enjoy Enjoy.
She will be beaten and thrown into the scrap heap
with the rest of them until the next Mercedes Challenger
is named duffs VID's what's another name for an Asian assassin?

(01:29:09):
Chinese Takeout? Chinese Takeout Getting Heat AW South Park edition.
Oh my god, they killed Kenny, you bastards. Yeah again,
they killed him again? Leott Paul, Though, do we know

(01:29:34):
Wardlow's contract status? I wonder what WWE could do with
him and force her gimmick to start, hopefully a good
name and memorable song. You have right, Yeah, he'll get
the Deaf Rebel Special just like everybody else. Not that
his music is much better in AW, but I think
WWE would absolutely take him. They put him in n

(01:29:55):
XT and just try to get something out of him.
How far he would go, it really depends on him.
I think he could do well. I don't know what
that looks like, though, It depends, you know, how they
use him really and how he acclimates to that system.
I don't know what his contract status is. If his
contract was on the verge of expiring, Tony KHM would

(01:30:18):
not have brought him back at Forbidden Door. So my
guess is whatever he had left on his contract, he
missed so much time because of injuries, Tony is just
going to attack that time on. So even if his
contract was up in a matter of months, Tony could
probably hold on to him for a lot longer than that,
So he ain't going nowhere anytime soon. Duff's viz I

(01:30:41):
went to a really emotional wedding last week. Even the
cake was in tears. But Juliet, whoever in WWE WWE
Shop spoiled aj Lee's return on X is probably out
of a job today. Yeah, it's not a big deal.

(01:31:04):
Who cares? I mean, really, it looked like an AI
generated tweet and it was immediately deleted. But of course
people on the internet, they immediately take snapshots, screenshots, and
then they blow it up into something bigger. Honestly, the
people who screenshotted it and shared that really, if you

(01:31:27):
think about it, they If you want to blame anybody
for spoiling aj Lee's return, blame those people. Because they
didn't seem to have a problem blowing it up into
a big story where now everybody knows. Uh, Griga, hey Solo,
how you doing, Bud doing okay? I enjoy your replays. Question,

(01:31:51):
do you think Punk and Rollins have made up after
their beef? Thanks again, well, thank you, Griga. I don't
think there ever was a beef. I think they did
a very good job of convincing you that there was
a beef, and they continue to do a very good
job of convincing people that they really don't like each other.

(01:32:13):
But I don't think there ever was any real beef.
And I think Seth Rollins is very happy to be
working with Cmpunk, who is somebody who trained him for
free very early in his career, and I don't think
he ever forgot that. Anyway, I am going to be

(01:32:34):
heading out tomorrow hitting the road. I'm headed to Philadelphia, Philadelphia.
I will soon be inside you because I will be
going to House of Glory, our return show in Philadelphia
tomorrow night, eight pm, airing live on Triiller TV Plus.

(01:32:55):
If you can't be at the venue, and if you
are going to be at the venue, I hope I
get to see you there. Say hello, but we got
some big matches on the car. We're gonna have champion
against champion, title for title, the House of Glory World
Champion Charles Mason defending against the Progress the New Progress
World Champion Derese Bully Ray puts the Crown Jewel title

(01:33:19):
on the line. Big rematch against Zillafa two. Bully has
some history in that city. By the way, Shatzi and
Priscilla Kelly go one on one and our tag team
Champion's main event, Jay Lyon and miight As Black defend
the titles against Leo Rush and Action Andretti. So I
will be on the call. I will be there in

(01:33:40):
Philadelphia tomorrow. Hopefully you can be as well. But if not, right,
no major wrestling shows, no pay per views otherwise on
Thursday night, go check out hog I think you'll enjoy it.
The Yatagaratsu with a five dollars super chat. I somehow

(01:34:01):
feel like Jay Usso missed an opportunity to call his
super kick yeat Chin music. I'm very happy he didn't
do that. I'm glad he didn't as if enough people
haven't stolen that move and bastardized it over the years. Now,

(01:34:24):
they're going to steal the name of the move too.
Will I be visiting the Rocky Steps. I don't think
I'm gonna be able to have time to visit the
Rocky Steps. I'm gonna have just enough time to check
into my hotel, put my shit down and leave and
go right to the venue. Do the show, go back

(01:34:46):
to my hotel, wake up the next morning, have breakfast,
and hit the road so I can get home in
time to do SmackDown. It's a big SmackDown. I don't
want to miss that show on Friday night, so I'm
I'm gonna hit it and quit it in Philadelphia. But
it's gonna be good Night tomorrow and Adam looking forward
to it. And yes, the next time I Am Live
with You will be SmackDown on Friday Night. That will

(01:35:08):
be around ten thirty. It's a big show. John Cena
making his final appearance in Chicago, the city where he debuted,
and no brack lesnar on the show. But obviously we
will find out. I'm sure Brock's name will be invoked
because he is supposed to be on SmackDown the following
week and then CM Punk He's going to be there

(01:35:29):
and it sounds like somebody else is going to be
there too, so we shall see the Winston Slit Channel
member for twenty six months, says a great show as always,
mister Monster, Thanks for all the hard work. What is
your favorite pay per view ever? King of the Ring

(01:35:50):
nineteen ninety three. Something about that pay per view I
love so much. Not even everything on the show is great,
but there's enough great stuff on the show that it's
my personal favorite. I also love that first ECW one
night Stand in two thousand and five. That might be

(01:36:11):
my number two. Be well, stay safe. I will see
some of you tomorrow, perhaps see you guys Friday.

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
