AEW All Out 2025 delivered a stacked card with five championship matches, intense stipulation bouts, and the emergence of new stars. Headlined by AEW World Champion “Hangman” Adam Page defending his title against TNT Champion Kyle Fletcher.
“The Protostar,” stepped into the spotlight as a main event contender, challenging Hangman Adam Page for the AEW World Championship. Fletcher’s performance, however, showcased his potential as a top-tier talent, earning praise for his intensity and signaling his arrival as a future cornerstone of AEW.
The match capped off a night that highlighted both established stars and rising prospects, with Toronto’s passionate crowd amplifying the electric atmosphere
In a stunning upset, Kris Statlander emerged as the new AEW Women’s World Champion, defeating “Timeless” Toni Storm, Jamie Hayter, and Thekla in a chaotic four-way match.
Other notable matches included Adam Copeland and Christian Cage, Toronto’s hometown heroes, overcoming FTR in a grudge match that played on their storied history. Eddie Kingston marked his return with a victory over Big Bill, while Mark Briscoe defeated MJF in a brutal Tables ‘n’ Tacks Match. The AEW Unified Championship saw Kazuchika Okada retain his title against Mascara Dorada and Konosuke Takeshita, and Jon Moxley bested Darby Allin in a dramatic Coffin Match. The night also featured Brodido retaining the AEW World Tag Team Championships in a thrilling four-way ladder match and Mercedes Moné defending her TBS Championship against Riho.
At WWE Wrestlepalooza, all I can see are ads. More sponsors on the mat including Papa John's, Chime, Riyadh Season Fireball Whisky, Xfinity, Slim Jim, Old Spice Minute Maid, Aviator, Cricket 5G and VeBetter. Aside from the match match match you can see the obvious overhead shots of the Ring to make sure you can see the ad placement. I expect this on a $80 boxing pay with you but then you have the ads in between matches to go with your $30 subscription of ESPN.
John Cena is ultimately squashed by Brock Lesnar in the second phase of his retirement tour and Bron Bron beat the Usos, followed by a simpfest for Stephanie Vaquer who won the women's world championship in a rare title change.
Then it's AJ Lee and AJs husband CM Punk .

Speaker 2 (00:08):
A protostar performance or AG's husband. Whoa ed isn't the name?
You more reckquest and believe it or not. Whether you
like it or no, like you learn to love.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
It because you have listened to wrestling and really it.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Is the best day going to day.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
WHOA a worldwide leader of podcasting excellence. The King of
Podcasts Radio Network probably presents the Wrestling It's Real podcast
because Wrestling Dave's us.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
This is episode nine sixty one of the resils or Podcasts,
A raspy King of Podcasts here with you, Algi ridden.
But I did get to go and watch both A
b all Out and W's Rescipal Loser here on a
Saturday here on the program. We're gonna react both. Now
(01:02):
when it comes to both shows, I'll say this, it's
really polarizing one way or the other. What they were
and what they offered to us Rescapalooza for whatever kind
of press they're gonna get off of this, whatever they're
gonna go ahead and say we're surprises or anything over
the fantastic. I don't think there was. I mean, what
(01:26):
I got out of this was one surprise. You have
Undertaker coming out to go ahead and announce this step
Man is going to be going into the twenty twenty
six w Hall of Fame, and there's that. Otherwise, we
had several matches that start off the night for us
with Paluza that didn't make much difference at all, just
(01:48):
didn't really mean anything, and then we were into a
middle of a full fledged symfest for a good fifty
minutes of match action here on the program. Was it worthwhile?
I guess for the fans out there, they enjoyed it.
I guess for the fans that are Twitch streamers or
anybody else that wants to go ahead and do like
(02:09):
live watch alongs, I guess sure you got some of
the responses out of that. Fine, And then what AW
gave you was a lot of matches based off of
a lot of storylines. And yeah, I'm gonna choose a
to all out over what Russell Paluzza was tonight. By far,
(02:32):
it's not even close, Not like I'm saying there was
nothing that I didn't like about all Out anyway, I did,
But let's just get into what there is. I won't
go too crazy into it. So a little bit off
of the fact that HBO Max gave an exclusive hour
of Action which would have been the normal zero hour,
(02:54):
which was four pre show matches. Missed all those, And
I also missed a little bit of the Cope Christian
match with FTR because I was stuck doing Uber Deliveries
and then I was just something at a bad internet spot,
so I just cannot watch the match. But I caught
up into the back out of the fact, and I
saw that Beth came out. They're going to help out
(03:15):
with Cope and out on coping Christian cage after all,
do get the win. Cool kind of figured I was
gonna happen with the whole set up with them, and
what happened to them both still Cope and Christian are
still kind of at odds. They're not necessarily on the
same page, but we'll figure that out. Same thing they're
(03:36):
going also with in a trend that's going on right
now across aw where we're getting a number of stars
coming back to full favor once again, back into the
spectrum the we're gonna be back in normal programming. Jungle
Boy and lu Tsaurus Face turned tonight kind of getting
(03:58):
back together. We're seeing the claims starting to go and
get themselves patch back together with Jerry Lynd's help. Most
the Collision storyline, we heard about the conglomerration and the
fact that with one word whatever, Orange Cassidy looks like
he to me making his way back. Darby Allen has
made his way back and now has a pretty strong
(04:18):
feud with John Moxley going on, so that we were
kind of waiting for the death writer's storyline. Anyway, Eddie
Kingston's back. There's a lot of things that kind of
give us what some of aw dynamite pre Collision days was,
the pre sum assum punk days. We're getting some of
(04:40):
that back. Maybe he's gonna hit you know, pay dirt
once again. We'll find out if that actually helps out
with the ratings and of course MBF and a rare loss,
but in an amazing match with Mark Briskow tonight in
extreme action, so overall, I mean the tag match, I
didn't feel too bad about missing hoping Christian against str
(05:02):
like the outcome I expected was gonna happen, and it did.
Eddie Kinson over Big Bill, Eddie Kinkson finally coming back
after a long absence sixteen months. They said, good to
see him back. Quick seven minute win over Big Bill.
That tables and tax match was something else. Took a
off for MGF to take some of the damage, but
(05:22):
he did eventually took the tax Mark Bristcoll took the
bulk of it, and that guy, I don't know how
he does it until it goes along. I really enjoyed
Brian Danielson on commentary throughout the night, especially during this
Mark Briscombs Jeff match and also the main event that
was really good stuff. Almost to the point I almost
felt like he was gonna turn on at a page
(05:44):
somewhere because of just the over heighteness of it, like
how involved he was in the whole night. But it
didn't look like it was gonna happen that way. It
was fine. The demand the new faction name for Rickashet
Bisha and Tota Leona, the Gates of Agony Overhear Syndicate
(06:05):
because MVP is the one that took the penfall. Of course,
Bobby and Shelton are gonna take that pinfall. If you're
gonna get the pinfall, m JFF I'll take it. He'll
eat that first or to me, MVP, excuse me, Ricochet
playing up being bit of the goof, bit of the
chicken shit heel, which was good stuff and all this
(06:26):
throughout the night, Mercedesnet and Riho had a pretty good match.
But again Mercedes Bne interesting. He pointed out that was
his twenty first title defence she had for the TBS title,
and Mercedes Bne, now more than a year later, still
is very strong holding that belt, and whoever are they
going to have the groom to take that belt off
(06:46):
of her is not gonna be anytime soon, and I
can see her clearly going on another year before we
get to that point. I can see that if you
were talking about pure technical wrestling, Okata Takeshta Moscata Dorada, damn,
that unified title was something else. Twenty one minutes I
felt longer because it just felt like they were getting
so much in throughout of getting a lot of moose tonight,
(07:09):
also looking really good on the shine coming off the loss,
and that was something they were really trying to do
in some of these matches, which in aw that happens.
You see a very good match and you can see
a star in the loss come out of it looking
better John moxy dow Allen twenty minutes for the Coffin match.
That was pretty good. And I mean with John Moxley
(07:33):
w Allen Listen. Am I the biggest fan of the
Death Riders now, but this still works out for me,
and I think what they're doing to each other, it's
just you know, how much farther can they go? We'll
figure that out soon enough. Shocking tonight Women's World title
in the four way match tonight, Tony Storm drops the
belt to Chris stat Lanner. Jimmy Hayter, THEKLA also considered
(07:54):
part of that match. Very good match. I christ that
Leonard with a win. Very shocking to see that happen.
But again it's also with Chris Statlander using Whilo Yuda's
belt and the influence of the Death Riders of Chris
Statlander now puts her attaching into that organization. Looks like
eventually we'll figure out how that all goes. Brodido another
(08:18):
great match, and I don't know how Speedball Mike Bailey
survived all the shit that he did, but either which way,
Brodido looked great, Young Bucks looked great. It was really
fun ladder match and Brodido retains, so I could see
that where that's a good setup. Also quite a division
for the world tack team titles without Herston to get
being involved. It's very cool to see all that and
(08:41):
how many teams they have put together to go ahead
and compete. It was a really fun matter at tag teams.
Quite a tack team's division they have right now in
aw But the match that caught my eye that really
made me pay attention that was absolutely wonderful was hanging
out a page beating Kyle Fletcher. They almost he went
forty minutes in the match. In the match, they made
(09:03):
the point where if any member of the don Kyalais
family interfered, Fletcher would have been disqualified and stripped of
his A to BT and T title. In the contract
signed they put that on own dynamite and these two
had a barn burner. This was an excellent match. Kyle
Fletcher is a star. I mean I didn't expect him
to go and get this quick to speed into the
(09:27):
main event like this, but he absolutely is a star
in any just about any promotion. He is now. This
match made him a made main eventor he is now
embedded in the main event. Anytime you want and I
see Kyle Fletcher as a future world champion. There's not
even a question of that. What a great match, Ego Bravado.
(09:52):
He is so solid in the ring. The commentary pointed
it out and was very valid on it. Shit, man,
what a what a work. And there's something about Don
Coals and that association and the stars he gets to
going to work with, where when you look at Takeushta
(10:12):
or the association with Okada and Fletcher and Ousprey before that,
I mean, there's something to be said about how they're
making Don KALs such They're making him like what what
Paul Haymond kind of was in w beforehand, But like
right now, this is just amazing, Like Kyle Fletcher is
doing it and I just hope it resonates to ratings.
(10:33):
I hope it resonates to much more because I mean,
he is got it and they said twenty six years old,
that's incredible. This match, Chris Crossed, it was running over
into seven o'clock hour. I don't even know Russell Blues
started at seven. I thought it started at eight, but
(10:54):
then I missed a sceneor Lesnar match. I didn't miss
much eight minus fifty seconds. Yeah, Brocklaser can't go in
the long matches, and right now, what storyline are you
working off of? Oh that Brockluster is kind of like
just brewing around like these God's allowed here or something.
That's it. So John Cena gets to go and work
(11:16):
with all these guys he worked with, and Broxena wipes
the floor with John Cena. Brockleser wipes the floor with
John Cena. Done. Was that accomplishing anything?
Speaker 1 (11:29):
No?
Speaker 2 (11:30):
In the tag team match with the Vision Broston rita
Brown Breakers match with the USOS Woss going on the
new gear, they're all back together, Intro intro intro match
match match, and there were a couple of botches in
this In these matches tonight that did not look good.
(11:51):
First off, it looks like jay Uss definitely got a concussion.
I don't even know how he handled that match, but
like I really was just like, okay, how is it
You're going with bron Breaker and had to go and
signal bron Breaker to go and go through. I was like, okay,
there's something wrong here. I thought I was a botcher first,
but no, I realized it was jay Us and the
(12:12):
ricochet of not pun attended the ricochet of the chair
shot and coming back to his head and Jane not
paying attention to that. I mean, I'm not gonna blame him,
but I'm just saying he was so close to that
chair that for him to go not realize that that
chair if it hits like he wanted it to do,
(12:32):
and he's not able to go ahead and keep that
from the charm coming back. It did and it split
him open and it's not good. So Jay might be out.
You know, he's got to go through good cushion protocol.
I mean, that's it's one of those things. Don't bring
him back right away, get him attention he needs. It
(12:56):
didn't look good and that took away from the match.
But unfortunately that's were Elleen and Knight especial guests are
free ech. They don't want to put him in the
title match. They don't want to put him in the
main event. Ellien Knight is just kind of like just
a hanger on. Is that a good look for him
at all? No? But either which way, and then we
move along to the Simfest. Stephane the Care and Eo
(13:20):
Sky Listen. These two had a very good match for
twenty minutes. Eosky is a very good wrestler. Stephan Vicare
holds her own out there just fine. She got a
great look. Okay, I am not gonna get called caught
up in her because she has the right kind of
(13:40):
looking of her skin, in her hair and the body. Okay, fine, listen,
she's Latina. I am Latino. I see girls like that
all the time around here. I guess maybe just being
down here in South Florida, I'm a little bit spoiled
because I can see stephanievi Care anytime I want, just
going off side door. It's just kind of like that.
(14:02):
So for the exotic field, for all of you out
there that you get going to get to see her,
fine devil's kiss. I appreciate you enjoying that, you know.
But they they were destined to go and put the
belt on her. They put her in that whole setup
so that she can get a title shot. So she
got it, and here she is and Eel Sky, you know,
(14:26):
bless her, but you know, doesn't really do much in
terms of charisma. For steventy of a care. People really
do get to think about her, and you know, her
being a face champion, you could get a number of stars.
You can go and bring on board and now have
her take on all comers. But they wanted to do
this with her anyway. I'm actually kind of surprised they
didn't put her in Triple Leady Go after the rein
(14:47):
of the Rainist title, but they did. That's okay. There's
still quite a bit of her where it comes to.
I guess the language Barier doesn't matter to them at all,
because it's not like she can go and just cut
straight up promos in English easily. I mean, she of
course is learning English. She's gotten much better, but you know,
(15:09):
to kind of work out how it's always been fine,
but you know that accent's still a bit thick. And
so for her to go and she can't be doing
any long promos, I doubt that's gonna happen. I mean
interviews here or not. Yeah, sure, but it's gonna be
for her. It's match match match. But again, whoever holds
that belt, it's match match match. There are not a
lot of stars right here holding belts that could just
(15:30):
carry a promo. And I'm not just talking to carry
a competent promo. I'm talking about a promo that's actually
gonna mean something because Unfortunately I pointed this out on Wednesday.
W right now is absolutely whose line?
Speaker 1 (15:48):
Is it?
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Anyway? In promo style now improv for the stars, and
there is not anyone accept for John Cena probably that
can actually handle the who line in any way type
of promo style right here where they're just giving just
a concept, not even in any talking points, just the concept.
(16:09):
Well just talk about something that has to do with this.
So John c is better at it seth Rawn's he
needs talking points, he needs a little bit of direction,
like to get to one point to the other. Seeing
Punk needs the same thing. I hate. They'll give it
to you. This stuff right here and the transformation going
into the ag Elese and Punk match, the mixed tag team,
(16:34):
AJ's husband, that kind of stuff. I mean, I guess,
but you know, that's a little over the top in
my opinion. I didn't really care for it too much.
But I mean, for people that want to enjoy that
and they appreciate it, okay, good for you. But ag
Lee was rusty ten years, she's gonna be rusty. I mean,
(16:55):
she kind of figured out her move set. But if
obviously they were trying to protect her, you know, in
this thirty minute match. They basically kept her out of
the ring for about twenty minutes, so just to go
and work with a hot tag, like that's basically what
they're doing. So hot tag the hottest of hot tags
they could possibly do, so there would just be that
amazing pop they get when she finally gets in. But
(17:17):
I mean they kept her limited. I mean, yeah, she
finally got the Shining Wizard, she got to the Black
Widow and she would do you know, jump off the
top rope, things like that. Find that move where she
got into the mix where seeing Punk went through a
(17:37):
table that looked bad. That's probably not something she should
have been part of. But it is very clear that
Aglee and Becky Lynch being left in the ring so
ag Lee could go and get the pinfall. Fine again,
didn't really matter much to me, did your MCA tire?
Another title shot gets over on Cody Rose for a bit,
(17:59):
but Cody wins predictable. They have nobody for Cody. Cody
has this belt back after he beat John Cena. Nothing
for him, There is no plan, There is nothing of
some of these people that are holding belts right now
(18:20):
to where I see any simply get real interest into
who they're going to be facing next. There's no storylines
behind it. And if there was anybody outside of who
was not on this pay per view, Sammy's ain or
somebody else, there isn't. I hope ESPN enjoy what they
paid for. I also hope they appreciate that they got
(18:42):
the Netflix type deal where you're paying thirty dollars to
watch on ESPN and you're consumed with how many ads
out there? Ads during the program. If you're paying thirty
dollars a month, why are you getting so many ads?
Not just almost, but you're getting actual ads here, even
on a thirty dollars a month buy. But then you
(19:07):
see the mat and I was completely distracted the whole
night by that stupid mat. It's one thing how they
do it in boxing, where you kind of everything set
up okay on the ring ropes and you know, on
the turn buckles, things like that, great, but all that
crap on the mat like they have it Papa John's
chime Reodd Season, Fireball, Whiskey, Xfinity, Slim Jim Oldspice Men,
(19:29):
and made Aviator Crick of five g V better. Really
that ring with that many ads, No wonder they had
to keep using the drone shots, the overhead shots, because
you need to see the effing ads. And if you
don't see the ads, there you got the commercials too.
(19:51):
I don't know. I mean, for those of you that
really do enjoy this, I hope you enjoy the bubble.
I hope you enjoy that little world that W gives you,
because I don't get it. This is not the the
I mean, it's not even the WA that I was
watching like a year ago. The Netflix era of the
(20:13):
WE is so commercialized now and so ad driven. I
feel like I'm watching an infomercial. It's like, no, no, no,
worry about the match match matches, you know, just need
we need the commercials. The commercials are important more than
the matches. The commercials are more. We need the stories
(20:34):
of the commercials to get across more than the storylines do.
So don't worry about storylines, don't know about anything else. It's
the commercials that matter. That's what really matters, That's what
TKO cares about. Now. It absolutely go longer tonight, but
I'm absolutely suffering right now trying to go and do
this review. So we're gonna leave it here tonight and
just they will come back when I feel better, and
(20:54):
a lot more fallout from both wrestles, Baluza and all
out here on the rest of us our PODCASTUS Wrestling
needs us sh
Podcasting since two thousand and five. This is the King

(03:58):
back together. We're seeing the claims starting to go and
get themselves patch back together with Jerry Lynd's help. Most
the Collision storyline, we heard about the conglomerration and the
fact that with one word whatever, Orange Cassidy looks like
he to me making his way back. Darby Allen has
made his way back and now has a pretty strong
(04:18):
feud with John Moxley going on, so that we were
kind of waiting for the death writer's storyline. Anyway, Eddie
Kingston's back. There's a lot of things that kind of
give us what some of aw dynamite pre Collision days was,
the pre sum assum punk days. We're getting some of
(04:40):
that back. Maybe he's gonna hit you know, pay dirt
once again. We'll find out if that actually helps out
with the ratings and of course MBF and a rare loss,
but in an amazing match with Mark Briskow tonight in
extreme action, so overall, I mean the tag match, I
didn't feel too bad about missing hoping Christian against str
(05:02):
like the outcome I expected was gonna happen, and it did.
Eddie Kinson over Big Bill, Eddie Kinkson finally coming back
after a long absence sixteen months. They said, good to
see him back. Quick seven minute win over Big Bill.
That tables and tax match was something else. Took a
off for MGF to take some of the damage, but
(05:22):
he did eventually took the tax Mark Bristcoll took the
bulk of it, and that guy, I don't know how
he does it until it goes along. I really enjoyed
Brian Danielson on commentary throughout the night, especially during this
Mark Briscombs Jeff match and also the main event that
was really good stuff. Almost to the point I almost
felt like he was gonna turn on at a page
(05:44):
somewhere because of just the over heighteness of it, like
how involved he was in the whole night. But it
didn't look like it was gonna happen that way. It
was fine. The demand the new faction name for Rickashet
Bisha and Tota Leona, the Gates of Agony Overhear Syndicate
(06:05):
because MVP is the one that took the penfall. Of course,
Bobby and Shelton are gonna take that pinfall. If you're
gonna get the pinfall, m JFF I'll take it. He'll
eat that first or to me, MVP, excuse me, Ricochet
playing up being bit of the goof, bit of the
chicken shit heel, which was good stuff and all this
(06:26):
throughout the night, Mercedesnet and Riho had a pretty good match.
But again Mercedes Bne interesting. He pointed out that was
his twenty first title defence she had for the TBS title,
and Mercedes Bne, now more than a year later, still
is very strong holding that belt, and whoever are they
going to have the groom to take that belt off
(06:46):
of her is not gonna be anytime soon, and I
can see her clearly going on another year before we
get to that point. I can see that if you
were talking about pure technical wrestling, Okata Takeshta Moscata Dorada, damn,
that unified title was something else. Twenty one minutes I
felt longer because it just felt like they were getting
so much in throughout of getting a lot of moose tonight,
(07:09):
also looking really good on the shine coming off the loss,
and that was something they were really trying to do
in some of these matches, which in aw that happens.
You see a very good match and you can see
a star in the loss come out of it looking
better John moxy dow Allen twenty minutes for the Coffin match.
That was pretty good. And I mean with John Moxley
(07:33):
w Allen Listen. Am I the biggest fan of the
Death Riders now, but this still works out for me,
and I think what they're doing to each other, it's
just you know, how much farther can they go? We'll
figure that out soon enough. Shocking tonight Women's World title
in the four way match tonight, Tony Storm drops the
belt to Chris stat Lanner. Jimmy Hayter, THEKLA also considered
(07:54):
part of that match. Very good match. I christ that
Leonard with a win. Very shocking to see that happen.
But again it's also with Chris Statlander using Whilo Yuda's
belt and the influence of the Death Riders of Chris
Statlander now puts her attaching into that organization. Looks like
eventually we'll figure out how that all goes. Brodido another
(08:18):
great match, and I don't know how Speedball Mike Bailey
survived all the shit that he did, but either which way,
Brodido looked great, Young Bucks looked great. It was really
fun ladder match and Brodido retains, so I could see
that where that's a good setup. Also quite a division
for the world tack team titles without Herston to get
being involved. It's very cool to see all that and
(08:41):
how many teams they have put together to go ahead
and compete. It was a really fun matter at tag teams.
Quite a tack team's division they have right now in
aw But the match that caught my eye that really
made me pay attention that was absolutely wonderful was hanging
out a page beating Kyle Fletcher. They almost he went
forty minutes in the match. In the match, they made
(09:03):
the point where if any member of the don Kyalais
family interfered, Fletcher would have been disqualified and stripped of
his A to BT and T title. In the contract
signed they put that on own dynamite and these two
had a barn burner. This was an excellent match. Kyle
Fletcher is a star. I mean I didn't expect him
to go and get this quick to speed into the
(09:27):
main event like this, but he absolutely is a star
in any just about any promotion. He is now. This
match made him a made main eventor he is now
embedded in the main event. Anytime you want and I
see Kyle Fletcher as a future world champion. There's not
even a question of that. What a great match, Ego Bravado.
(09:52):
He is so solid in the ring. The commentary pointed
it out and was very valid on it. Shit, man,
what a what a work. And there's something about Don
Coals and that association and the stars he gets to
going to work with, where when you look at Takeushta
(10:12):
or the association with Okada and Fletcher and Ousprey before that,
I mean, there's something to be said about how they're
making Don KALs such They're making him like what what
Paul Haymond kind of was in w beforehand, But like
right now, this is just amazing, Like Kyle Fletcher is
doing it and I just hope it resonates to ratings.
(10:33):
I hope it resonates to much more because I mean,
he is got it and they said twenty six years old,
that's incredible. This match, Chris Crossed, it was running over
into seven o'clock hour. I don't even know Russell Blues
started at seven. I thought it started at eight, but
(10:54):
then I missed a sceneor Lesnar match. I didn't miss
much eight minus fifty seconds. Yeah, Brocklaser can't go in
the long matches, and right now, what storyline are you
working off of? Oh that Brockluster is kind of like
just brewing around like these God's allowed here or something.
That's it. So John Cena gets to go and work
(11:16):
with all these guys he worked with, and Broxena wipes
the floor with John Cena. Brockleser wipes the floor with
John Cena. Done. Was that accomplishing anything?
Speaker 1 (11:29):
No?
Speaker 2 (11:30):
In the tag team match with the Vision Broston rita
Brown Breakers match with the USOS Woss going on the
new gear, they're all back together, Intro intro intro match
match match, and there were a couple of botches in
this In these matches tonight that did not look good.
(11:51):
First off, it looks like jay Uss definitely got a concussion.
I don't even know how he handled that match, but
like I really was just like, okay, how is it
You're going with bron Breaker and had to go and
signal bron Breaker to go and go through. I was like, okay,
there's something wrong here. I thought I was a botcher first,
but no, I realized it was jay Us and the
(12:12):
ricochet of not pun attended the ricochet of the chair
shot and coming back to his head and Jane not
paying attention to that. I mean, I'm not gonna blame him,
but I'm just saying he was so close to that
chair that for him to go not realize that that
chair if it hits like he wanted it to do,
(12:32):
and he's not able to go ahead and keep that
from the charm coming back. It did and it split
him open and it's not good. So Jay might be out.
You know, he's got to go through good cushion protocol.
I mean, that's it's one of those things. Don't bring
him back right away, get him attention he needs. It
(12:56):
didn't look good and that took away from the match.
But unfortunately that's were Elleen and Knight especial guests are
free ech. They don't want to put him in the
title match. They don't want to put him in the
main event. Ellien Knight is just kind of like just
a hanger on. Is that a good look for him
at all? No? But either which way, and then we
move along to the Simfest. Stephane the Care and Eo
(13:20):
Sky Listen. These two had a very good match for
twenty minutes. Eosky is a very good wrestler. Stephan Vicare
holds her own out there just fine. She got a
great look. Okay, I am not gonna get called caught
up in her because she has the right kind of
(13:40):
looking of her skin, in her hair and the body. Okay, fine, listen,
she's Latina. I am Latino. I see girls like that
all the time around here. I guess maybe just being
down here in South Florida, I'm a little bit spoiled
because I can see stephanievi Care anytime I want, just
going off side door. It's just kind of like that.
(14:02):
So for the exotic field, for all of you out
there that you get going to get to see her,
fine devil's kiss. I appreciate you enjoying that, you know.
But they they were destined to go and put the
belt on her. They put her in that whole setup
so that she can get a title shot. So she
got it, and here she is and Eel Sky, you know,
(14:26):
bless her, but you know, doesn't really do much in
terms of charisma. For steventy of a care. People really
do get to think about her, and you know, her
being a face champion, you could get a number of stars.
You can go and bring on board and now have
her take on all comers. But they wanted to do
this with her anyway. I'm actually kind of surprised they
didn't put her in Triple Leady Go after the rein
(14:47):
of the Rainist title, but they did. That's okay. There's
still quite a bit of her where it comes to.
I guess the language Barier doesn't matter to them at all,
because it's not like she can go and just cut
straight up promos in English easily. I mean, she of
course is learning English. She's gotten much better, but you know,
(15:09):
to kind of work out how it's always been fine,
but you know that accent's still a bit thick. And
so for her to go and she can't be doing
any long promos, I doubt that's gonna happen. I mean
interviews here or not. Yeah, sure, but it's gonna be
for her. It's match match match. But again, whoever holds
that belt, it's match match match. There are not a
lot of stars right here holding belts that could just
(15:30):
carry a promo. And I'm not just talking to carry
a competent promo. I'm talking about a promo that's actually
gonna mean something because Unfortunately I pointed this out on Wednesday.
W right now is absolutely whose line?
Speaker 1 (15:48):
Is it?
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Anyway? In promo style now improv for the stars, and
there is not anyone accept for John Cena probably that
can actually handle the who line in any way type
of promo style right here where they're just giving just
a concept, not even in any talking points, just the concept.
(16:09):
Well just talk about something that has to do with this.
So John c is better at it seth Rawn's he
needs talking points, he needs a little bit of direction,
like to get to one point to the other. Seeing
Punk needs the same thing. I hate. They'll give it
to you. This stuff right here and the transformation going
into the ag Elese and Punk match, the mixed tag team,
(16:34):
AJ's husband, that kind of stuff. I mean, I guess,
but you know, that's a little over the top in
my opinion. I didn't really care for it too much.
But I mean, for people that want to enjoy that
and they appreciate it, okay, good for you. But ag
Lee was rusty ten years, she's gonna be rusty. I mean,
(16:55):
she kind of figured out her move set. But if
obviously they were trying to protect her, you know, in
this thirty minute match. They basically kept her out of
the ring for about twenty minutes, so just to go
and work with a hot tag, like that's basically what
they're doing. So hot tag the hottest of hot tags
they could possibly do, so there would just be that
amazing pop they get when she finally gets in. But
(17:17):
I mean they kept her limited. I mean, yeah, she
finally got the Shining Wizard, she got to the Black
Widow and she would do you know, jump off the
top rope, things like that. Find that move where she
got into the mix where seeing Punk went through a
(17:37):
table that looked bad. That's probably not something she should
have been part of. But it is very clear that
Aglee and Becky Lynch being left in the ring so
ag Lee could go and get the pinfall. Fine again,
didn't really matter much to me, did your MCA tire?
Another title shot gets over on Cody Rose for a bit,
(17:59):
but Cody wins predictable. They have nobody for Cody. Cody
has this belt back after he beat John Cena. Nothing
for him, There is no plan, There is nothing of
some of these people that are holding belts right now
(18:20):
to where I see any simply get real interest into
who they're going to be facing next. There's no storylines
behind it. And if there was anybody outside of who
was not on this pay per view, Sammy's ain or
somebody else, there isn't. I hope ESPN enjoy what they
paid for. I also hope they appreciate that they got
(18:42):
the Netflix type deal where you're paying thirty dollars to
watch on ESPN and you're consumed with how many ads
out there? Ads during the program. If you're paying thirty
dollars a month, why are you getting so many ads?
Not just almost, but you're getting actual ads here, even
on a thirty dollars a month buy. But then you
(19:07):
see the mat and I was completely distracted the whole
night by that stupid mat. It's one thing how they
do it in boxing, where you kind of everything set
up okay on the ring ropes and you know, on
the turn buckles, things like that, great, but all that
crap on the mat like they have it Papa John's
chime Reodd Season, Fireball, Whiskey, Xfinity, Slim Jim Oldspice Men,
(19:29):
and made Aviator Crick of five g V better. Really
that ring with that many ads, No wonder they had
to keep using the drone shots, the overhead shots, because
you need to see the effing ads. And if you
don't see the ads, there you got the commercials too.
(19:51):
I don't know. I mean, for those of you that
really do enjoy this, I hope you enjoy the bubble.
I hope you enjoy that little world that W gives you,
because I don't get it. This is not the the
I mean, it's not even the WA that I was
watching like a year ago. The Netflix era of the
(20:13):
WE is so commercialized now and so ad driven. I
feel like I'm watching an infomercial. It's like, no, no, no,
worry about the match match matches, you know, just need
we need the commercials. The commercials are important more than
the matches. The commercials are more. We need the stories
(20:34):
of the commercials to get across more than the storylines do.
So don't worry about storylines, don't know about anything else. It's
the commercials that matter. That's what really matters, That's what
TKO cares about. Now. It absolutely go longer tonight, but
I'm absolutely suffering right now trying to go and do
this review. So we're gonna leave it here tonight and
just they will come back when I feel better, and
(20:54):
a lot more fallout from both wrestles, Baluza and all
