Episode Transcript
[00:00:07] Speaker A: In the beginning, the earth was a dark, formless void.
But then God spoke and said, let there be wrestling.
And with that, there was Monday, and wrestling happened on Mondays. And God looked upon her works and said, holy shit, that's a lot of racism in video packages.
On the second day, God got depressed and lo did she post about it on the DVD VR forums. And with that, there was Tuesday.
On the third day, God said, let there be Wednesday. And lo did the people reply unto her.
We know what that means.
[00:00:57] Speaker B: Oh, God. Remember, the key to getting this intro right is to have no idea what you're doing and start in the weirdest spot possible. Welcome back to Wednesday night Fake Fights.
It is I, Ella Taylor, and I am here with all my favorite queer wrestling sickos. And we are here to talk about AEW dynamites and not other things that make us want to rip the head off of various things. Anyways, favorite queers. Hi, how are you? One of you introduce yourselves.
[00:01:30] Speaker A: Hi, it's me, It's Erica Warrens. I'm here again and I'm still queer again. And guess who's back? It's Knifey.
Yay,
[00:01:42] Speaker B: Goldie, Sylvie. Knifey.
[00:01:45] Speaker A: Knifey. What's that? Knifey, you're right, is very mediocre as a professional wrestler.
[00:01:51] Speaker B: Oh, and I can't even. That's not.
Damn.
[00:01:56] Speaker A: Damn.
[00:01:57] Speaker B: I can't.
Oh, sorry.
[00:02:01] Speaker A: I'm being mean this week. It's been a long. It's been a long Three months.
[00:02:06] Speaker B: Yeah, it's been a long.
[00:02:08] Speaker A: It's been a long.
What is it, 40 years?
[00:02:14] Speaker B: And of course. Yo, destroy the Zero.
[00:02:25] Speaker C: Rolling out my giant ass.
Hamster ball.
My orb just rolling on out.
[00:02:34] Speaker A: I have nothing more to add.
[00:02:38] Speaker C: All right, normal intro.
[00:02:43] Speaker B: No other business week.
[00:02:46] Speaker C: Yeah, I used super kick out of the. Out of the orb.
[00:02:49] Speaker B: We ran out of pyro money. Yeah.
[00:02:54] Speaker C: You know how much it costs to get a nacho cheese pyro cannon?
It's not.
And then I had to clean it. It was gross.
[00:03:05] Speaker B: It's a lot of chemicals. That shit's expensive. Yeah.
And that's just the cheese.
[00:03:11] Speaker C: You know, that's just the cheese. The tongues.
[00:03:17] Speaker B: So, folks, we're here to try to. To bring up ourselves from what's been a hell of a couple weeks with some creative wrestling.
See the great. The wrestling was great. Everything else about it was okay.
Yeah. And. But yeah, I'm not doing great. I am in full on in my Dalton Castle going through it era.
I fucked up my knee twice in a week. And it was. And then worked on it. For 17 hours and then quit the chicken mine. Because no one should work on a fucked up knee for 17 hours. I don't care how much you're paying me that. And yeah, if I don't stand up for my own rights, how can I stand up for others? And as a friend put it, if I keep working like that on a busted leg, I won't be standing period.
So, yeah, I'm back in the studio full time. Holla at you, girl. If you need audio edited or. Or you want to throw me in a writer's room for your podcast, it's me, Ella. I'm over here going through it with my leg elevated.
[00:04:33] Speaker A: Elevated.
Elevated.
[00:04:39] Speaker B: Sorry. Yeah. No, my brain made an elevated joke as I was watching Revolution with my leg up. I was like, oh, God damn it.
[00:04:50] Speaker A: We are. We are the post Revolution dynamite.
[00:04:54] Speaker C: And boy howdy, is that I.
[00:04:58] Speaker B: We have thoughts and feelings
[00:05:02] Speaker A: sensibly. I watched it as it. I had it on, but I opted my brain switched off in white hot fiery rage at some point.
And I'm sure you can guess which one.
Yeah, from then on I was like, you know what? I should play Final Fantasy 14. And I did. And it was also disappointing because Dawn Trail kind of sucks if you played Dawn Trail, you know what I mean?
[00:05:33] Speaker B: I. I bought it with the express purpose of streaming it in the AV club like I do for every pay per view with the Patreon's money, as is right with the world, Unfortunately, C said 17 hour shift and I above me.
So graphs happened. I was busy, so I watched graphs sometime the next day. Time has been weird on account of the being mostly in bed and not having a job anymore. Dimension. I'm going through it, so just imagine me going through it. But yeah, so I watched it and I was like, oh, this sucks.
And then Bandido and Andrade had like Match of the year and that was hot. And then the rest of it was like okay. And then the triples was pretty sweet.
It was like okay and.
And then real good. Texas Death.
Say what you will about the ending, that was some. That was some solid Texas Death.
[00:06:41] Speaker A: It was good.
[00:06:42] Speaker B: That was good.
Like in the Terry funk pants on MJ.
[00:06:47] Speaker C: Oh.
[00:06:48] Speaker B: Oh, you stinker, you 79 stinker. You little.
Oh, that was good. So you made me so angry, even though I was on meds.
I'm just stealing. I'm so mad.
Yeah, what you're doing with the knife. Exactly.
So there's our revolution.
Yeah, so there's our revolution recap. At least for me. I don't Know. How about y'? All?
[00:07:15] Speaker A: I'm not gonna talk about it.
Dynamite Hampter. What'd you think about it?
[00:07:20] Speaker C: Oh, the pay per view.
[00:07:22] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:07:22] Speaker C: Oh, yeah. I absolutely watched.
Jesus. Good Lord.
[00:07:27] Speaker B: I love that we have just. I. I love that we have just created an entire wrestling fan out of thin.
[00:07:36] Speaker C: Calculated the number of hours I've spent watching just the Monday Night wars and Jesus.
[00:07:44] Speaker B: Jesus.
[00:07:47] Speaker C: Three, six months.
[00:07:48] Speaker B: Oh, Jesus. It's painful, isn't it?
[00:07:54] Speaker C: 115 hours.
And then I watch.
I started watching Wednesday nights, and then if I'm on the pod, I watch them twice.
[00:08:06] Speaker A: Oh, no. Oh, hey, up there.
[00:08:08] Speaker C: Yeah, so I watched this one twice, too.
[00:08:11] Speaker B: Do that.
[00:08:12] Speaker C: And I was sitting there my entire time. I was sitting there with my arms crossed.
It's just like, this is. Doesn't bring. I was like, damn the whole time because it's.
[00:08:23] Speaker A: Are you enjoying the show? Yes. Yes, I am.
[00:08:27] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:08:27] Speaker B: I guess more people need to get on the Patreon so I can send Hampter weed money because, like, Jesus Christ, that's asking a lot. Jesus. You go harder than the rest of us.
[00:08:40] Speaker C: I just. There's so much of it, and I. It's compelling in some way, and it's also a way how I connect to my friends. I was thinking about it yesterday, and I was just like, it's brought so many beautiful people into my life and connected friendships even deeper. And I was like, that's really. That's really great.
Yeah.
[00:09:00] Speaker B: That's what's great about professional wrestling, people.
Yeah.
[00:09:06] Speaker A: Nothing.
[00:09:07] Speaker B: But.
[00:09:07] Speaker C: Oh, then to go get to baby face. But I'm like, wow. I actually kind of have a community that I can, like, interact with on a, like, cultural now level.
Because usually, like, everything else I'm into is decades old.
[00:09:24] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:09:24] Speaker C: So, like, getting to see every Wednesday night tweets and, like, respond and know what's going on is pretty. It's pretty sick.
[00:09:33] Speaker B: Well, being in on the live tweeting of Wrestle sky is, like, worth the. The price of admission to, like, beating up Sky. It's. It's so good.
[00:09:42] Speaker A: I think it's why we're all here, basically. So.
[00:09:45] Speaker B: Yeah.
It's why the show exists. Like, this show was birthed as. As Trans Wrestle sky, the podcast. Basically, like, that was the idea, and it still kind of feels like that. And I'm into it.
I know that we got a variety of listeners, but I know most of them are family, I'm pretty sure, so. Hey, y'. All.
But yeah, no, yeah, we. We broke. We broke the brain. We broke the Ha. Brain. And, and we have created something magical.
[00:10:17] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:10:17] Speaker B: Because G. Jesus Christ.
This is not the, the dynamite to watch twice.
[00:10:25] Speaker A: No, I watched it once. I, I didn't watch it when it aired. I watched it when I woke up and I spent like the entire day because.
[00:10:33] Speaker C: Yeah, I mean, that's fair.
[00:10:34] Speaker A: I mean there.
[00:10:35] Speaker C: I didn't watch the ending promo.
[00:10:38] Speaker A: No. Like, all right, like, I, I didn't really want to talk about it, but like, there's like, it's hard to get around the fact that like there was the whole Ronda Rousey of it all.
[00:10:46] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:10:48] Speaker A: I do want to watch live in case she showed up because I don't want anything to do with the show if she's going to be on it and it's incredibly short sighted. And again, like I said, I was not going to go on this rant. But like, hey, if you're on Blue sky and you're telling trans people that we need to calm down and relax and it's going to drag. Bring in money to the company and all that other. Go yourself. Don't tell trans people what to do about this. Don't tell us what to feel about it. Shut the up.
[00:11:14] Speaker B: Yeah. You know who else brings money to the company are asses.
[00:11:20] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:11:21] Speaker B: So like, like a lot of us because we won't watch the other one.
So like, no, what you're doing is trying to get from the other one that no one wants. Like everybody, everyone that is still watching that show and not AEW can stay there at this point. Because like, I don't, like, I don't trust them as humans.
I don't trust you as people.
[00:11:48] Speaker A: I, I don't, I don't give a what she's done. I don't, I do not believe a single person who's vouched for that says she's changed. Because I have not seen that evidence. And for the, for, frankly, I don't have to accept an apology if I don't want to. So. Yeah. And I haven't seen one. So like, I haven't seen it on that specific thing. Maybe she doesn't care about Sandy Hook as much anymore that I think actually strikes me as worse. But it's not.
[00:12:14] Speaker C: No, the Sandy Hook thing, she did apologize for.
[00:12:18] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:12:19] Speaker C: I guess that's the one thing that I did. I, I'm not, I'm not standing, I'm not defending.
That is the one thing that I did read that she did. Yeah. I'm not, no, no, not in this house.
[00:12:29] Speaker B: But like super trans. What about the super transphobic bio essentialism. Oh, hey, just for that, I'm gonna do my shot on the pod. It's that night. All right.
[00:12:39] Speaker C: Get it. Yeah.
[00:12:40] Speaker B: Anyways. Okay, fine.
[00:12:43] Speaker A: Yes.
But anyway, that's enough about her. I don't want to talk about her anymore. That I gave too much time that I wanted to.
[00:12:50] Speaker B: We're here for graps and trans joy and I. I am sticking to the office space defense in the case of Bolton v. Bolton. Why should I leave when she's the one that sucks?
So I.
I'm going to continue to have my grabs. She can often.
All right, Ring bell that if you want.
[00:13:10] Speaker A: Ring bell, Ring bell. Ring bell. Time to start the actual pod. We are from Fresno, California, home of the famous, terrifying Fresno Nightcrawlers.
[00:13:22] Speaker B: Oh, God, that sounds awful.
[00:13:25] Speaker A: You've never seen those? The walking pair? No. The Venetian bog lords of Fresno.
[00:13:29] Speaker C: What?
[00:13:30] Speaker B: Oh, I don't like any of the words you're saying.
I don't think any of them are in the Quran. I don't think any of them are in the Torah.
[00:13:42] Speaker C: Yeah, none of them are in the holy texts.
[00:13:44] Speaker A: Yeah, look, Venus, it's. It looks. We'll talk about this afterwards and we can record it and put it on
[00:13:52] Speaker C: the lower drop at the end of the. At the end.
Let's go.
[00:13:55] Speaker A: Yeah, I'm. I am certain someone listening to this knows what the Fresno Nightcrawlers are. Anyway, got the show opening and they're like, oh, my God.
[00:14:07] Speaker B: Yeah, it was.
[00:14:08] Speaker A: Yeah, open the show. It was kind of cool. They're like, hey, did you see Revolution? There's this on it.
And then this other came back and that other is Will.
[00:14:22] Speaker B: Yeah, I was gonna say speaking.
The United Empire of N is. Is silent. Our friend would say.
[00:14:31] Speaker A: Yes, Silent. Had a whole thing planned for when he came back, but unfortunately, she is not available.
So just go.
[00:14:38] Speaker B: We're gonna have to do it for her.
[00:14:40] Speaker A: Well, I'm not even gonna do that. Just. We've spent too much time on already, so just go. Just go Google Paul Robinson and know that that guy is best buddies with Will. Osprey?
No. Will Robinson.
[00:14:54] Speaker B: Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's Will Robinson, wrestler.
[00:14:57] Speaker A: Otherwise, you know, Paul Robinson, wrestler.
[00:15:00] Speaker B: Paul Robinson, wrestler. Okay.
[00:15:03] Speaker A: Osprey has been gone for so long,
[00:15:08] Speaker B: so hard, like you do just smeared a so bad.
[00:15:12] Speaker A: I said Paul Robinson. I looked it up before I wrote it in here. Okay.
[00:15:16] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:15:17] Speaker A: Osprey has not been or been around for a while, so he doesn't know about the pool noodles, so he almost slips when he jumps up. On the barricade.
[00:15:24] Speaker C: Oh, yeah, I noticed that. Okay. I was wondering.
[00:15:28] Speaker A: He does not know about the pool noodles now.
[00:15:30] Speaker C: No one told him. God, he would have fell backwards and shattered his neck again. Holy.
Oh, my God. They've been s.
[00:15:43] Speaker B: Cut to the.
Cut to the. No, that's too dark. That's too dark. I was gonna cut the. Drew McIntyre. Like, I prayed for this and it happened.
[00:15:54] Speaker A: All right, well, Osprey is wrestling the vanilla baby, so we're gonna know how this is gonna. You can probably go. This is gonna go because even though osprey's got like 8 pounds of kinesio tape on the back of his neck.
[00:16:10] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:16:12] Speaker A: Danielson is on commentary the whole time being like, Osprey's injury. Neck injury was worse than mine. And he's back fast than me and he sounds a little bit concerned.
[00:16:24] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah.
[00:16:25] Speaker B: And he's doing tornadoes and. And it's like, don't, don't, don't.
[00:16:30] Speaker C: I was uncomfortable watching this match.
I mean, he's.
[00:16:36] Speaker B: Yeah. Like, I joke, but, like, I want anyone hurt, you know?
[00:16:41] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:16:43] Speaker A: Like, he's probably fine. It's just that, like, I wish that he. His intention wasn't like, I'm going to prove that I'm fine. But, like, as soon as the match starts, he takes a bump, right. Like a flat back bump right on his neck.
Like a high bump on his shoulders.
[00:17:01] Speaker B: Yeah.
Stop it, dude, stop.
[00:17:06] Speaker A: I'm fine. It's cool.
[00:17:09] Speaker B: Yeah, you show. Everyone went fine. Blake Christian hit me with a tiger driver. 91, let's go.
I'm fine.
[00:17:20] Speaker A: Quite a bit of offense on this.
[00:17:22] Speaker C: Yeah, he does.
[00:17:23] Speaker A: They do seem to seem to like, indicate, like, go for the neck.
[00:17:27] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:17:30] Speaker A: He gets this really cool cazadora that, like. So, like, he flips him over right back up and gets that splash. That's really cool.
[00:17:39] Speaker C: Yeah, that was sick.
[00:17:40] Speaker A: I don't think I've seen him do that before. That's cool.
Let's see.
Yeah. Daniel says on commentary, it's just like, I don't know about this big dog.
Yeah. Because, yeah, he gets a ddt and then he stomps on Will's neck and he gets like a cutter corner ddt. He gets like most of the offense in this, like, but then Will just, you know, comes back and hits his cool stuff that Will does.
He's Will off because we can't talk about long term injury without mentioning diverticulitis. Kenny's. Kenny Omega's guts comes up always. So.
I think we're gonna have to start calling Will the neck?
Yeah.
[00:18:29] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:18:30] Speaker B: Kind of pussy neck. I'm into it.
Nonce. Collaborator. I don't know.
[00:18:37] Speaker A: Yeah, it's kind of back and forth. Yeah, it's just kind of back and forth, really, with, like, Blake Christian getting in a lot of. A lot more stuff than he should. And then he tries to hit a hidden blade. It misses, and Will hits his own hidden blade, and that's it. And it was very.
[00:18:53] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah.
[00:18:56] Speaker A: It was very predictable.
[00:18:58] Speaker C: The crowd was crazy for him, though. I mean, I suppose they're excited he's back.
[00:19:03] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:19:04] Speaker B: They don't read the news. I'm. I'm just. I'm just assuming they don't read the news. I'm hoping they don't read the news.
I hate to. I hate to think that all these wrestling fans are just okay with that kind of.
[00:19:16] Speaker A: Oh, boy. That'd be awkward.
[00:19:17] Speaker B: Yeah, that be super awkward. Yeah.
[00:19:20] Speaker C: Oh, God. Well, yeah, you know, off wrestling fans exhibiting poor judgment in character.
[00:19:27] Speaker A: No, wait.
[00:19:29] Speaker C: I'm sorry. Not.
[00:19:31] Speaker A: We're all missing the key factor here, which is that my comfort wrestler who does cool stuff and is good at wrestling is blameless in all things.
[00:19:42] Speaker B: Yeah. Fair enough.
[00:19:44] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:19:45] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:19:46] Speaker A: That's why Chris Bedwa should get.
[00:19:54] Speaker B: Throwing up the arms.
[00:19:57] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:20:00] Speaker B: Oh, my God.
Take a screenshot of you, and I'm gonna, like, add the hat and make, like, the most up version of that meme of all time.
Like, Beno mention.
Oh, no.
[00:20:13] Speaker A: All right, postmatch, Excalibur says that Will Osprey is better than ever. I don't know about all that. He gets a mic.
Osprey gets a mic. He's all like, I missed this. And he calls out John Moxley because Moxley broke his neck. And he tells him, the only difference between you and me, Mox, is that I can bring somebody's neck without a weapon.
[00:20:35] Speaker B: I got a neck.
[00:20:37] Speaker A: I've got a neck now.
So that brings out John Moxley and Wheeler Yuta. And shout out Wheeler.
Thighs. Thighs are out.
[00:20:48] Speaker B: Thighs are out.
[00:20:49] Speaker A: Thighs out.
[00:20:51] Speaker C: He's super ripped, too. He was in fine tonight. Yeah.
[00:20:55] Speaker A: Wheel jack. Wheel jacked Yuta Wheeler.
[00:21:01] Speaker C: He's been training with Mox.
I'm gonna need you to do better. Yuta.
[00:21:12] Speaker B: Marina Shafir beating the out of Wheeler. Yuta during training. That's what.
[00:21:17] Speaker A: God, I found some ICO Pro.
[00:21:21] Speaker B: I don't know what that is, but let's give it a try.
[00:21:24] Speaker A: There's a big, muscular man on the. I don't know who's on him. What ICO Pro look like it doesn't matter. Yeah. So Mox and Yuta come out and Osprey runs into the crowd and attacks them.
Sure.
Yep. He. He hits Yuta with trash can and he throws a recycling bit at Box and he gets him in the ring and he wants to do the Tiger Driver. And Pac, the heroic Pac arrives and he applies the brutalizer because the Death Riders are the baby face stable. And William is kill.
[00:22:00] Speaker B: William is kill.
[00:22:02] Speaker A: William is kill.
While all this is happening, the Bang Bang Gang makes the entrance.
We have a match. Excuse me. As, like, Osprey and Pac are brawling up the entrance.
[00:22:17] Speaker C: We booked the ring.
[00:22:18] Speaker B: Yeah, we booked the ring for right now.
[00:22:20] Speaker A: It's like, listen, we're not a st. Like, let us. Yeah. If it was for, for certain a, a match and a second and yes, we go. We go right into the next match of the Bang Bang Gang combination. Juice Robinson, Ace Austin versus the Death Riders. John Moxley and Wheeler Yuda, the beautiful young bald boy. Yes. Go ahead.
[00:22:45] Speaker B: Starting wheel, are you. I'm about to do some estrogen.
It's the poster. George C. Scott. I'm gonna put girl. What we fighting Juice Robinson.
Well, let me tell you about Juice.
This is girl juice.
[00:23:09] Speaker A: There's no estrogen in the woman room.
I don't know if that works. I don't know if that works in the context of, like, the actual line from the movie, but I'm using it anyways because George Scott.
[00:23:29] Speaker B: I'm just giggling.
George C. Scott, voice holding a syringe full of estrogen as he would have wanted.
[00:23:38] Speaker C: I feel, I feel.
Yeah,
[00:23:42] Speaker B: go.
[00:23:43] Speaker A: I don't know about the real George. She's Scott. But like, our version of him, I think.
[00:23:49] Speaker B: Girl.
[00:23:50] Speaker C: I mean, who, who. The real one's dead. Who? Him? Like, long live the king.
[00:23:56] Speaker A: He was fine.
[00:23:57] Speaker C: Oh, I, I, Yeah.
[00:23:59] Speaker B: So I, I dedicate. I, I dedicate these cross sex hormones to Ronda Rousey's ass and George C. Scott and, and to the, the ghost. Derogatory. And then the ghost of George C. Scott. Complimentary. Okay.
[00:24:14] Speaker A: Yes.
[00:24:14] Speaker B: As you were. Drive, drive, drive.
[00:24:16] Speaker A: Yeah, so you do a moxifist. So they just attacked the Bang Bang Gang.
[00:24:20] Speaker C: Yep.
[00:24:21] Speaker A: Yeah. So Juice Robinson is just like, that's adorable. And starts beating the out of Yuta.
[00:24:29] Speaker C: Oh, God. Yeah.
[00:24:31] Speaker A: Daniel is just calling Yuta ugly non stop.
[00:24:40] Speaker B: I'm gonna have to mute y' all because I'm laughing too hard to inject myself. Hold on.
[00:24:46] Speaker C: There's so much heat on Yuda at the commentary table right now.
[00:24:50] Speaker A: Yes, Daniel said specifically. He says he's a sheep dog that fell into an oil slick. That's what he looked like before he got his haircut. Now he's just ugly.
I don't know. I think he looks nice in the trunks.
[00:25:01] Speaker C: I do too. I.
[00:25:03] Speaker A: And he's jacked.
[00:25:04] Speaker C: Absolutely. I. I think it's a bitter grapes.
[00:25:08] Speaker B: Whatever.
[00:25:08] Speaker A: Jack to the. He's jacked to the tits.
So, yeah, Max comes in. So they had. They. They actually shout out the fact that Juice and Mox had a pretty intense feud in New Japan back in the day.
And you got to see a little bit here.
[00:25:25] Speaker C: And I loved their back and forth with the. When they were interrupting each other's snap suplexes. That was.
I. I really enjoy that. Those little pieces where it's just like these two men have fought, Fought each other so often and know each other inside and out that they can plan and like. Or attack each other.
[00:25:45] Speaker A: Yeah, Yeah. I, I like that because, like, I don't. I don't think they've really brought up Juice and Mox in aw too much. But, like, man, their. Their New Japan matches were awesome.
[00:25:58] Speaker C: I can see it.
[00:25:59] Speaker A: It's very different dynamic then as well. Well, Mox's character hasn't changed that much, but, like, Juice was like, he was less weird and more of just like a baby face.
[00:26:09] Speaker C: Okay.
[00:26:11] Speaker B: He's my emotional support grow gremlin guy.
[00:26:14] Speaker A: Right. But he wasn't a gremlin back in like 20. When did Mox leave? 2018, 2017.
He was less gremlin. That's my point.
[00:26:23] Speaker B: Oh, we talking, are we? Oh, we're talking Fed Juice.
[00:26:26] Speaker A: No, no, we're talking Japan.
New Japan Juice because that's where he wrestled. Mox was New Japan.
[00:26:34] Speaker B: Okay. I am unfamiliar with new. I know a little bit of NXT Juice, which is up and.
Yeah, that's it. And then I know my emotional support. Little grammar.
[00:26:47] Speaker A: Yes.
All right, so they tag in Ace Austin and he does some cool stuff until Yuta. Just like.
Actually, no. What did he do to Yuta? He got some offense in on unit. Like he did. Like, he got him up for like in the fireman's carry for a Death Valley driver. Yeah, like all the way down and does like this low angle. Like that was. Low angle Death Valley.
[00:27:10] Speaker C: His legs.
[00:27:11] Speaker B: Gross.
[00:27:12] Speaker C: Thick trunks too.
[00:27:14] Speaker A: He's got them thick. Them legs.
[00:27:16] Speaker C: Yeah, he does.
[00:27:17] Speaker B: He's got the victims. It's true.
[00:27:20] Speaker A: Thickums.
And then they go to commercial. They're like, trying to be like, how do we explain that? The crowd loves Moxley, but he's A bad guy.
And they really just can't do it.
[00:27:34] Speaker B: I'll just let it ride.
[00:27:38] Speaker A: It was like, they're tweeters, guys. They're tweeters.
[00:27:41] Speaker C: He's cool. Like, he's. He's a bad guy, but he's got his own, like, ethos.
[00:27:47] Speaker B: And yeah, he's not a nihilist. He believes in something.
Say what you will about.
Say what you will about Death Riders, dude, at least they believe in something.
[00:27:58] Speaker A: Okay,
[00:28:01] Speaker B: Jesus. All right, I'm sorry. This. So that's the first, probably not the last time I'll get a Cohen's brother's quote into a wrestling podcast.
It's the estrogen I just shot into my leg. I swear, I don't know how it works.
[00:28:15] Speaker A: Yeah, that is how it works. I don't know. I don't do shots. I take pills.
What happens next?
They, they, they stop talking about Mox for a minute to, like, at Wheeler Yuta. And Brian's like, oh, you know, he also betrayed the best friends too. And I was like, yeah, yeah, Brian, who made him do that?
[00:28:35] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. What was up with that, Brian?
[00:28:38] Speaker C: I saw your skeet and I was like, oh, I can't wait to poke this bear. When I. When we get on and start talking about this episode.
[00:28:47] Speaker B: Was he invited to some sort of gentleman's club of a Blackpool combat variety?
[00:28:54] Speaker A: Yes. Wheeler used to be with Orange Cassidy, Trent and Chuck Taylor with the best friends.
And they were kind of. They were. They were admittedly mean to him quite a bit.
[00:29:06] Speaker B: Yeah, that was kind of the thing. Yeah.
[00:29:08] Speaker A: Their young boy and they were mean to him and they made him do extra work and push ups because that's
[00:29:13] Speaker B: what you do to the young boys. They learned it from Japan.
[00:29:16] Speaker A: And then he went to. He got recruited to Mox and Danielson's group, which was the Blackpool Combat Club. And they beat the out of him and made him do push ups and were mean to him. But he liked it, I guess.
[00:29:29] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:29:30] Speaker A: I mean, they did it with a
[00:29:32] Speaker B: Liverpoolian accent, so it was fine.
[00:29:36] Speaker A: So.
And then he betrayed Danielson when Mox took it.
So it's just like a long series of trials.
[00:29:46] Speaker B: It's really. It just comes down to wheelie units. Just a little wheelie uda. He's a little. That's why he gets the voice.
[00:29:53] Speaker A: He's like.
[00:29:54] Speaker C: He's like, sin begets sin and betrayal. Like, oh, man.
[00:29:59] Speaker A: Eventually somebody's gonna betray him and, yeah, he's not gonna know what to do.
[00:30:06] Speaker B: It's gonna be the Death Riders. It's gonna be.
[00:30:09] Speaker C: I mean it's gotta be. I mean unless that changes suddenly.
[00:30:13] Speaker A: Yeah, we'll see what happens.
[00:30:14] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:30:15] Speaker A: Like more stuff happens in this match. I just haven't.
Yeah. They beat the out of us.
[00:30:21] Speaker C: Yeah.
Mean to him.
He can take it. He's a big guy.
[00:30:26] Speaker A: Yeah. Like Mox had a good match with them like last month or January, I forget. It was early in Mox's continental title run and they had a pretty good match with each other and like they cut. Their interactions were nice in this as well. And.
[00:30:40] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:30:42] Speaker A: Anyway, he makes the hot tag to Juice and Juice comes in and like the national treasure he is just starts dawn out punches.
[00:30:50] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:30:52] Speaker A: Daniel Garcia shows up and he gets punched and then.
Oh no. I think it was like an ass boy. Whichever one is that Austin Gunn.
[00:30:59] Speaker C: Austin Gunn gets him.
[00:31:00] Speaker A: Austin guy and pulls him onto the.
[00:31:02] Speaker B: Austin is in. Colton is out.
[00:31:04] Speaker A: Colton's out.
[00:31:05] Speaker C: I love. I just want to say I love Austin's energy throughout this entire match. I really loved his encour to Austin.
[00:31:15] Speaker A: Yeah. He was like. He's a good. He's a. He's a good brother.
[00:31:18] Speaker C: He is. He really is.
Got so much potential. You got that?
[00:31:23] Speaker A: Yep. You can do it. I believe. Yeah. He's like. He was just like out there shouting like 365 day calendars that have like inspirational sayings on them. Truly good for him.
Yeah. Juice is all alone. So he gets left handed God. The mocks and then Yuta gets a left handed God. And then the high stack power bomb only gets two and they tag Ace back in and they're fighting. He gets that weird triangle corner heel kick. Deal. That looks really cool. And he's gonna get more. Utah cuts him off with the Buni. Mox hits him with the Death Rider and that's all.
[00:32:02] Speaker B: And again, Brian's just over there. Who taught him that?
[00:32:05] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:32:06] Speaker B: What the.
[00:32:07] Speaker A: He. He even says impressive recovery and effort from Jon Moxley. Not so much Wheeler. Yuta, like we did not initiate the. The winning sequence in this.
Wow.
[00:32:20] Speaker B: He's a little.
[00:32:21] Speaker A: He's a little. He is a.
And nice thighs though.
[00:32:26] Speaker B: Yeah, great thighs.
[00:32:27] Speaker A: Great.
[00:32:27] Speaker C: It is. It's Frankenstein's monster. You made him this way and yet you spit in his face.
Sorry, I'm having that.
[00:32:41] Speaker A: That is it though. That is it though.
[00:32:43] Speaker B: That's fair.
[00:32:44] Speaker A: Victor Frankenstein. I have made this creature and abandoned it because I can't deal with what I've done.
[00:32:50] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:32:51] Speaker A: Why does it hate me?
[00:32:52] Speaker C: Yeah.
Get away from me.
[00:32:56] Speaker A: Yeah. I was like, yeah. No, I get. Yeah. It's like, you get what you deserve, Brian. You're. You're kind of a.
Anyway, we get a little video package.
[00:33:07] Speaker C: Video package?
[00:33:08] Speaker A: Yeah, it's a video package about Gabe Kidd wanting to kill Darby Allen. And he's been wanting to kill Darby out for like three months now.
[00:33:15] Speaker C: Pushing up Daisy.
[00:33:19] Speaker B: I get it. I get a game. But if you could be a little more entertaining with the murder, that would be kindergarten ready.
[00:33:27] Speaker C: Gabe kid
[00:33:31] Speaker A: this week.
[00:33:33] Speaker C: He didn't.
[00:33:34] Speaker B: He couldn't.
Is like, I'm going to guarantee this little doesn't scamper this week.
[00:33:42] Speaker C: No scampering.
[00:33:44] Speaker A: You, Gabriel, shall scamper no more.
Somebody. Somebody on Blue Sky I saw posted that, like, you know, Gabe kid is a better character when he's like a six out of 10, but in AEW, he's always like 11 out of 10. Yeah. And he's gotta, like, calm down because nobody's taking him seriously.
[00:34:09] Speaker C: Kind of true.
He's. Yeah, he's kind of.
[00:34:14] Speaker A: Yeah, it's a bit. He's a bit much. He's a bit much.
They show us a little promo from Kenny Omega. This was post revolution. And he. He quotes Darkwing Duck and tells Swerve that let's get dangerous.
[00:34:29] Speaker C: We're not really a danger. To yourself.
[00:34:32] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah, he beat. Sorry, Brody. Yeah, he beat Brody and he's now the number one contender, which I didn't realize that match was for the number one contendership.
But anyway, Kenny wants him. Kenny wants him to put that title shot on the line against him.
But he must go now. Goodbye and good night. Bang.
[00:34:55] Speaker C: So it's so funny because neither does Swerve.
[00:34:59] Speaker A: Right? Swerve comes out later. He's like. Well, I didn't know.
[00:35:04] Speaker C: Unbeknownst to me.
Okay, Jesus, the comms in this company, dude.
[00:35:14] Speaker A: Yeah, like, swear. Didn't you get the memo? Because.
[00:35:17] Speaker C: Yeah, was not an email sent out.
[00:35:20] Speaker A: I watched the show every week and I didn't know that. Yeah, I know.
All right, so.
[00:35:29] Speaker C: And then
[00:35:32] Speaker A: we have a coffin match.
[00:35:33] Speaker B: Gabe kid, do we have to talk about this?
[00:35:36] Speaker A: No, because I want to talk about how much it sucked. It was not good.
[00:35:40] Speaker B: It was. This was like. I talk a lot of. About Darby Allen on account of him being a shit human being and also not very good wrestler.
This. This,
[00:35:53] Speaker A: this was not good.
[00:35:54] Speaker B: Sucked. This was very bad. This was very not good.
[00:35:59] Speaker C: I called it performance art in the most derogatory, like, midass way possible is how I looked at it. Yeah, just like, there's no story. There are just chaotic elements.
[00:36:19] Speaker B: Michael Bay movie, basically yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
[00:36:24] Speaker A: Speaking of movies, that's how they start. They do a little cinematic opening sequence. Gabe is in the parking lot and he's like, where's Dobby Allen? Where are you? I'll be out.
I wanna smack you in the noodle.
[00:36:43] Speaker B: Excuse me, biscuits.
[00:36:44] Speaker A: Sorry, my digestives are soggy.
A car, A car pulls up and Gabe's like, oh, that's gotta be Darby. And it is Darby, of course.
[00:36:59] Speaker C: I just goes over, want to know that gold dust would have taken that hit.
[00:37:03] Speaker B: Yeah, gold dust would have taken the bump.
[00:37:06] Speaker C: I said what I said.
I said what I said.
[00:37:10] Speaker A: I don't know if Piper gave him the chance to not take that car boat though.
[00:37:15] Speaker B: No, no, no.
[00:37:20] Speaker A: As he could go.
[00:37:23] Speaker C: It's also very true.
[00:37:24] Speaker A: It's like, I'm hitting that queer.
[00:37:28] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:37:28] Speaker B: Promised me. I hate crime.
I hate crying.
[00:37:35] Speaker C: I've had a hard on for this for weeks.
[00:37:40] Speaker A: I always knew Dusty's kid was gay.
[00:37:44] Speaker B: The kids call a goomy that he hasn't had yet.
[00:37:51] Speaker A: Yeah. So the car.
The car. The car pulls up and Gabe is just kind of like go. Like. Yeah, come on. And Darby leaps out like a spider monkey at the car and just like leaps into his. So it's either like he's attacking him like a monkey or he's like, take me, Gabe, I'm yours.
[00:38:13] Speaker C: Yeah,
[00:38:15] Speaker A: actually, either way, it was. Yeah, it was very sweet, whatever it was.
It looked a very effect, like very nice.
They fight. Gabe tries to gouge his eyes out.
Darby fights him off.
He's got his magical murder bag.
He pulls.
That's his. Darby's signature weapon is a rag. And he dumps Windex on it.
[00:38:41] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:38:41] Speaker A: And he.
[00:38:42] Speaker B: Again. Oh, God damn it.
[00:38:44] Speaker A: He. He roofy. Can we say that? I don't know if we can say that.
We've talked.
[00:38:49] Speaker B: We've talked about the. The fact that he has a. The rag before and how it's like doom.
[00:38:55] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:38:56] Speaker B: You can't have gations and a chloroform rag as a gimmick. Like that's not so. That's not.
Preferably none.
[00:39:07] Speaker A: Yeah, he puts Gabe on the rag and Gabe passes out. So he stuffs Gabe in the trunk and I don't know where this is going for a second. And he just starts driving and I guess he's a bad driver because he immediately hits a pile of garbage and the car goes flying.
[00:39:28] Speaker C: Yes.
[00:39:28] Speaker A: Yeah, there's a very obvious cut in there as well.
[00:39:32] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:39:35] Speaker A: So
[00:39:37] Speaker B: probably going for. Is the. The. I don't care if I live or die. I'm going to kill you with a car.
[00:39:43] Speaker A: I guess. Yeah. Like if you set it up to do it on purpose, like that's. That's okay fine.
[00:39:48] Speaker C: Yeah. Oh no, it was definitely on purpose. But also you're driving the car and he's.
[00:39:55] Speaker B: But that's why it's edgy. That's why it's edgy is because he's like it. If I die, we both die.
You know, suppose.
[00:40:03] Speaker A: Which becomes.
[00:40:04] Speaker B: Have you not seen he's emo. Didn't you get it?
[00:40:07] Speaker A: No.
[00:40:08] Speaker B: He has a skateboard. He has a skateboard.
[00:40:11] Speaker A: He says something at the end of the match that will point out that makes all of his I don't care if I live or die dumb.
So he crawls out Everest climb out ever. He crawls out of the car.
Gabe pops the trunk. But he's very injured.
[00:40:25] Speaker C: I legit fell out. I. My. I. I just. When he won the. The trunk opens, it flops. I. I lost it. And so did the crowd. The crowd legitimately. Lol.
[00:40:42] Speaker B: I forgave posted up coffin flop. They just filming coffin flop.
[00:40:49] Speaker A: No. This whole thing was coffin flop because that coffin was made of wood.
[00:40:54] Speaker C: Yeah. Oh yeah.
[00:40:56] Speaker B: He didn't r.
He didn't set up.
[00:40:59] Speaker A: Okay. It really looked like they didn't put any effort into it at all.
[00:41:03] Speaker C: No.
[00:41:03] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:41:04] Speaker A: No.
[00:41:04] Speaker B: None whatsoever.
[00:41:05] Speaker A: Yep. So Darby finds one of those big wheelie equipment boxes and he puts Gabe's corpse on top of it and he wheels him out to the arena.
[00:41:16] Speaker C: The crowd is silent.
[00:41:18] Speaker A: Crowd is silent. Commentaries. What the.
[00:41:23] Speaker B: Are we getting a match or.
[00:41:25] Speaker C: I don't know what's going on.
[00:41:28] Speaker B: Is this the Fed? Am I working for this?
[00:41:30] Speaker A: Yeah.
So they bring brings him out and they could have salvaged it. Like the. The opening bit was extremely dumb, but they could have saved it in the actual match itself. They did not just. They decided no, we are not going to do that. Darby Allen removes from the the crate a a straight jacket which he then puts on Gabe and a skateboard.
And a skateboard. Gabe canal no longer use his hands.
[00:41:59] Speaker C: Yep.
[00:42:02] Speaker A: Which means that Gabe can barely do any offense because most of his offense is on a from his hands.
So it is now Gabe kid selling and being crazy and whipping Darby with straight jacket straps occasionally. Crowd is dead silent.
[00:42:21] Speaker B: Yeah. No.
[00:42:21] Speaker C: This suck at some point do more stuff.
[00:42:26] Speaker A: Yes.
[00:42:27] Speaker B: In game kids. Like I can't. I'm a mad lad in it. My arms are.
[00:42:32] Speaker C: Imagine being a wrestler and hearing that chant. Like what?
[00:42:38] Speaker A: Especially when you have obsessively just like. Like he takes bumps in this match. That suck. Like, he gets body slammed on the skateboard.
[00:42:47] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:42:48] Speaker B: Oh, God. Yeah, that sucked.
[00:42:50] Speaker A: Like. And, like, he does manage to get some offense in with, like, kind of barely anything because, you know, can't use his hands. And it gets worse because Darby then applies the straight jacket fully. So now he's just like a silent hill monster, running around, like, headbutting people and doing flying kicks and spitting.
It's. It's not.
[00:43:12] Speaker B: Isn't this so edgy and cool?
[00:43:14] Speaker A: Yeah, it was not. It was not.
Gabe. Gabe gets a little bit of offense and he gets a slam and he gets, like, an enzyme.
And he almost gets Darby into the coffin.
[00:43:28] Speaker B: Barely.
[00:43:28] Speaker A: Barely. God, it's just bad.
[00:43:31] Speaker B: He looked like he stumbled to get it. Like, he looked like he was supposed to fall in and he didn't. And then he, like, spent, like a minute trying to get in. And I was like, darby, you're. You're up. This sucks. This sucks so bad. I hate every. I just. I try. You. You know me, I. I just love wrestling. I try not to be like, God, this is awful. But, like, this was really bad. This was like the worst. Best coffin badge I've ever seen.
[00:43:55] Speaker C: And then he bites his nose. When you're talking about Ellen, when he's half in the coffin, like, it's all these. So it's.
Yeah, it's. He just does those. He like his finishers and bite.
He's actually kind of like a monkey when he fights, you know, like a gorilla. Just gonna bite your face off.
[00:44:17] Speaker A: You can't do anything. And, like, it'd be one thing if they built up to this, but, like, they put the jacket on him first thing.
[00:44:24] Speaker C: Yeah. Yeah.
[00:44:25] Speaker A: You can't. He can't do anything. He's not a thing.
[00:44:29] Speaker B: First thing. He tried to kill him with a car.
Let's be real. That was first things first.
[00:44:36] Speaker A: I mean, like, I. I don't care about that. I, like, all things aside, I don't care about the car stuff because, like, that's just. That was that cinematic hardy verse.
Yeah.
You actually bring it out to the ring. You don't give people a match. You give them. Darby beating on a guy in a straight jacket. That's what it was.
[00:44:54] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:44:55] Speaker B: Like, it was really silly and I didn't like it.
[00:44:58] Speaker C: And like, I think Kid, it sells well, does well with what he has, but also, like, we know that he.
Kid can put on a great match, like, regardless of kindergarten ready. Like, this doesn't do him any justice.
[00:45:17] Speaker A: This was like. There's like, I I'm not even gonna sugarcoat it like this, this sucked. This match sucked.
[00:45:23] Speaker C: And then at the end, the audacity to be like, oh, I'm gone in for the title. What?
[00:45:30] Speaker A: Wait, like the finish. The finish itself was like, Gabe is. Gabe is like completely strapped into the straightjack at this, at this point, he can't defend himself. He gets hit with the skateboard a couple times, he gets a couple coffin drops and he's still trying to fight and he's on the floor and Darby does his like, full speed battering ram, knocks him and knocks him into the coffin. It closes and he wins. That's it. Like.
[00:45:54] Speaker C: Yeah, this wasn't.
[00:45:56] Speaker B: It was a whole. No, it was just a whole lot of nothing. Basically.
[00:46:00] Speaker A: It was just whoever, Whoever agent did
[00:46:02] Speaker C: this was an idiot sound and fury signifying nothing. That, that's like this, that, that is goes back to the whole kind of view. My view of this match where it's just, it is, it is emotion and nothing else.
[00:46:17] Speaker A: I don't even think it's emotion because, like, like, what's the feeling? What way? It's. It's always like. It's like the, the, the. The. The thing is always just like, why is Darby a face half the time? Because like, he's either like, you know, using rags.
[00:46:32] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:46:33] Speaker A: He's put a straight jacket on the guy, which is.
[00:46:36] Speaker B: That's a crime ball. He's just doing crimes.
[00:46:40] Speaker A: Then there's like the other. The added fact, like, Gabe Kidd is very, very open about the fact that he has mental health issues. He was literally institutionalized at the start of COVID when he was in Japan because he went nuts. I didn't know a lot of people went nuts.
[00:46:56] Speaker C: That's what he. In the, in the. Yeah. In the moment, in the fight, he says, I love this. These are good memories. Like, you can imagine. Oh, my God.
[00:47:04] Speaker A: And like, like, if he wants to use that in his character, fine. But like, I don't. Like, I.
It's like it didn't work here. And then like, it's not even. Just like, it's like Darby's doing it. Why? To restrain him or to traumatize the guy.
[00:47:21] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:47:21] Speaker A: Who's already, like we've established as a character is mentally unstable. Like, this is not. Like, none of this worked. This was bad.
Keep these guys away from each other. Let Gabe kid try and find something else to do.
[00:47:34] Speaker C: Seriously.
Start feuding with FTR or something like that. Like, I don't go for the belts, dude.
[00:47:43] Speaker A: Yeah, let the, Let them go after Speedball. Just Speed and Mystico.
[00:47:48] Speaker C: Oh, yeah, sure.
[00:47:50] Speaker A: Just no more. No more Darby.
[00:47:53] Speaker B: Hey, can we just get rid of Darby? Can we just. No more Darby.
[00:47:57] Speaker A: I'm done with Darby.
[00:47:59] Speaker B: I'm so.
I've been done with Darby, but now I'm like, really, like, this is getting really not great.
[00:48:08] Speaker A: This was like the first time he's done a match like this and he turned in an absolute stinker. Like. Yeah, because that's always been the thing with Darby is he can wrestle and he takes bumps really well.
He didn't have to take bumps, but because he restrained his opponent the entire match, it was just.
[00:48:27] Speaker B: It was a. It was a poorly match.
[00:48:30] Speaker A: Kind of like whoever agent did this should get kicked in the balls. And I can say it with balls because there's probably a guy, he's, you
[00:48:40] Speaker C: know, once again, you. He wins this match through restraining his opponent, and now he says that he's going to go for the title belt. And are you going to restrain every opponent to get there? Like, you can't win. You couldn't win this match?
Like, honestly, Probably. I'll try it.
[00:49:03] Speaker A: I gotta look and see what Darby's record is right now this year in non hardcore matches. Because he.
He usually loses when it's not like a garbage match, like a hardcore match style.
Yeah, yeah, that's. That's also, I guess. And as Hampter said, he gets on the mic and says he's going to gun for Max's world title.
He's either going to see God or win the belt.
[00:49:31] Speaker C: I did think that was a cool line, but.
[00:49:33] Speaker A: Yeah, that's a cool line. I'm rooting for God in that situation, truly.
[00:49:37] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah. Really? You're bringing me and God back together. That's wild.
[00:49:42] Speaker C: God, I've seen what you've done. Jesus. I've seen what you've done for others.
[00:49:47] Speaker B: Yeah.
I don't. I'll never understand why you didn't take him on the mountain, but, you know, whatever it takes.
[00:49:54] Speaker A: Who am I?
[00:49:56] Speaker C: It's meant for so much more, Ella. So much more pain.
[00:50:03] Speaker B: Yeah. He had this coffin match to do. Yeah.
[00:50:05] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, we gotta do. Yeah. And like, that's his match and he. He. That. It was trash. It was trash.
We have a. One of the tweets on the thing lets us know that Swerve has a counter offer for Kenny's challenge. Okay, the tweets next.
[00:50:25] Speaker B: I didn't even see that.
[00:50:26] Speaker A: A fun video package of Jack Perry being picked up for school by luchasaurus.
[00:50:33] Speaker B: This was exquisite. This also reeked of like 90s WC, CW, but in a complimentary way.
[00:50:42] Speaker A: I mean, like, I don't hate it. Like, it's cute and all, but it's like you spent all this time since Jack's been back to be like, kind of build him up as, like, check out serious jet wrestler Jungle Jack Perry. And now he's picked up for school in the school bus.
[00:51:02] Speaker B: The Jurassicus Disney princess is a little squirrely boy.
[00:51:07] Speaker C: Yes.
[00:51:10] Speaker B: It was so good, right?
[00:51:11] Speaker A: It's like, it's so cheesy. It's like, all right, I mean, like, I get it, I get it. Like, you want to have like a character that, like, appeals to the young kids. But also I, I've loved everything Jack Perry's done since he's been back. And yeah, you have a knife, so. Yeah, Jack and I, we're siblings. Fellow knife pervert Jack Perry and I.
[00:51:32] Speaker B: Yeah, but you didn't choose the knife life. The knife life chose you.
[00:51:40] Speaker A: Yeah, so they, they. They ride the, the, the. The Jurassic Express to Fresno and they pull up and Jack meets with the Young Bucks and he's like, I had a good time at Revolution because I won my title. And the Young Bucks are like, well, we lost in front of our family, so we didn't have a good time. So now we're going to wrestle Trent, Rocky Romero and Okada. And Luchasaurus leads out the bus and
[00:52:12] Speaker C: calls Okada a.
I will say the one. The one thing I did about Pay Per View is as soon as I saw their kids, the Young Bucks kids get into it when they. With their entrance, I was like, those are gonna lose.
[00:52:30] Speaker A: Hey, Aew, usually that would mean they're gonna win.
[00:52:33] Speaker C: Yeah, I saw it. I was like, nah. Oh no, they're eating.
[00:52:38] Speaker B: See? And you just came out of the 90s chamber. And I'm telling you, something is going on. Yeah, like something like someone has gotten like. I don't know what to tell you. Sometimes bookers are dumb as. And like, this is.
Oh, my God.
[00:52:57] Speaker C: Well, yeah, that's like wafts of 96, 97.
[00:53:01] Speaker A: This is. Yeah, this was some 90s.
Anyway. They actually do also mention that it's, It's. I. I will know. Well, no, I'll know it when we get to the actual match itself.
Hey, Prince Nada's here. Is it in the ring and he's going to introduce Swerve Strickland and introduces him and. Yeah. And sort of comes out most dangerous.
He's the most. Most. Most dangerous. Most. I can't do it.
[00:53:25] Speaker B: I can't sing Most dangerous.
[00:53:30] Speaker C: Dangerous.
[00:53:33] Speaker A: Whose house is this? Yeah, so, like, Swerve. Swerve house, Swervis Houses. Swerve's domicile.
[00:53:41] Speaker C: The house that Swerve built.
[00:53:43] Speaker A: Strickland domicile. Yeah. So thank you for calling Strictly residents, I hope.
[00:53:54] Speaker B: No, I'm not speaking.
[00:53:59] Speaker A: You have reached the Strickland residence, my friend.
If you want to speak to the boss
[00:54:09] Speaker C: we're not in right now, press one.
[00:54:12] Speaker B: Yeah.
If you'd like some fine. Nana coffee, press two.
[00:54:18] Speaker A: If you would like to take a swing at the most dangerous man, stay on the line.
[00:54:25] Speaker C: Do not.
The polls close at 7. Do not lose. Lose your. Leave your place in line.
[00:54:31] Speaker B: Yeah. If you're in line, stay in line. Yeah.
[00:54:33] Speaker A: All right.
[00:54:34] Speaker B: I'll cross the streams with the other podcast. Oh, no.
[00:54:37] Speaker A: Oh, no. They do this thing where they, like, put a spotlight on Swerve as he sits in a chair in the ring.
And it's.
We're talking about 90s and fed pilled. And this was very. This felt very fed as he does this promo. This is not a bad promo.
Crowd chants what? At him frequently as he talks about.
[00:55:00] Speaker B: What the is this crowd, man?
[00:55:03] Speaker A: Tell you, man. Fresno Phoenician, Bog lords.
[00:55:07] Speaker B: Well, you know what happened? You know what? I bet as part of it, someone pointed out to me on Blue sky as well, they keep going to towns where WWE used to be fed tv. Towns where they stopped doing TV there and they started. Yeah. So they. And then. And like, oh, we'll go take over that market. And so, like, they're literally playing to a crowd that, like, probably hates them.
So.
[00:55:32] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:55:33] Speaker C: Interesting.
[00:55:34] Speaker A: Intriguing. Well, why would you go pay this.
People should off.
[00:55:42] Speaker B: Yeah. Think of the average, like, Internet fed fan. You know what I mean? They would. They would pay money to go.
[00:55:48] Speaker A: I'm gonna buy a ticket to go. To go say what? To swerve.
Yeah, I'm gonna go watch more Strickling.
Wow.
Yep. So he says that the only winners of war are the ones with power. And while he enjoyed beating up Brody King, he was not satisfied.
And sometimes power is more important than championships.
And dealt with power structures his whole career and his whole life.
And crowd's still chanting what he says. I did not know I was the number one contender. Kenny. Yeah, he responds to Kenny's challenge, and he's like. So he. He says he's got all the power in this because he's got something Kenny wants, but he wants something that he wants Kenny to put something up.
And the only thing Kenny has that he can put up is his EVP power. Because, yes, Kenny is still evp.
[00:56:43] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:56:44] Speaker B: The Bucks lost it to Hanger and Swerve. So Swerve already is an EVP
[00:56:54] Speaker A: first. No, you are incorrect first.
[00:56:57] Speaker B: Please correct this for me because I'm
[00:56:59] Speaker A: very confused with Osprey, not Hangman.
[00:57:03] Speaker B: Oh, it was Osprey, not Hanger. Okay.
[00:57:05] Speaker A: And they, like gave up the EVP powers like immediately.
[00:57:10] Speaker B: Okay. I thought they were gonna hold on to him. I was like, whatever happened with that?
[00:57:14] Speaker A: Nope, nope. They. It was like the first Dynamite back. They gave him up and they. They like did like one or two things for themselves and then they gave up the EVP powers. So he does not have EVP power right now.
[00:57:25] Speaker B: Wow. Okay. Thank you for clarifying that. I missed that.
[00:57:29] Speaker A: Why would he watch every week?
Yep. So, yes, that's. That's essentially what happened is he. He's. He's gonna face. He. He. He'll put his number one contendership on the line versus Kenny's EVP status because he wants to have the power.
And
[00:57:51] Speaker C: I thought this was a really great pro.
[00:57:54] Speaker A: Yeah, it was really good.
It was very simple and to the point and it was direct.
[00:57:59] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:58:03] Speaker A: Moving on. Renee is with Speedball, Mike Bailey to talk about how they bounced back from losing the Trios titles with Jet Set Rodeo.
She win them back immediately just with
[00:58:15] Speaker C: this very Three days later.
[00:58:19] Speaker A: I mean, that's how this. That's how the trio's title should be booked.
[00:58:22] Speaker C: That's awesome.
[00:58:23] Speaker B: That's how I had the exact same thought when it happened. I was like, there you go, Popcorn.
Let's go. And now we got Mystico.
Oh, one of my favorite. One of my favorite moments of that pay per view was Speedball crooning Mystico's theme into the camera. And I was like, this is why.
[00:58:45] Speaker C: Yeah, I saw that. That was so. Oh, and just another.
Another reason. I love Mike Bailey.
[00:58:52] Speaker A: Just loved it.
[00:58:54] Speaker B: They're so good.
[00:58:56] Speaker A: Speedball says that they know they're not the. The ready made superstar that Kevin Knight is, because let's face it, Kevin Knight is like the prototypical wrestler.
[00:59:07] Speaker C: Yeah.
He had to work 20 years.
[00:59:10] Speaker A: 20 years.
[00:59:11] Speaker C: I was blown away.
[00:59:13] Speaker A: Yeah.
They had to fight for all their success and they had to prove themselves all over the world just like Kenny Omega did. And that. It's the mental toughness that makes you a star and a winner. And Speedball is wrestling Mark Davis, which is the most beautiful possible styles clash I could have ever asked for.
[00:59:34] Speaker B: No, this is pretty fantastic. Yeah, this is fantastic stuff right here.
[00:59:38] Speaker C: This is silly pants. This is Silly Billy. Why does not the.
The bigger.
There's a 110 pound difference between these guys.
[00:59:49] Speaker B: Yeah. Why does. Why doesn't the large ass man not simply eat the French Canadian and non binary person
[00:59:59] Speaker C: picks them up Saturn?
[01:00:02] Speaker A: Well, the. The reason for this would be is because the French Canadian non binary person can kick the ever loving out of the Australian man.
[01:00:10] Speaker B: This is true.
[01:00:12] Speaker C: He held his own against Fletcher real well.
[01:00:15] Speaker A: Yeah. Yep. I. I want to shout out first the person that had the mark for Mike sign that had the non binary symbol on it. Good job.
It really is kind of talked about enough that speedballs an nb.
[01:00:31] Speaker B: Yeah.
[01:00:33] Speaker C: Yeah. I did not know.
[01:00:34] Speaker A: Yep.
[01:00:35] Speaker B: This is why I try to use they pronouns for them as often as possible.
[01:00:39] Speaker A: But it is also. It is also they. They have said specifically that like I, He's. He said it on. What is it?
Hey, ew was like, I'm non binary so you can use any pronoun for me. And it's not incorrect.
Yeah, basically, which is why they. They always refer to him as he on commentary. Because.
[01:01:01] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, because they're like, yeah, whatever, that works.
[01:01:04] Speaker A: Yeah.
[01:01:05] Speaker B: But I like to throw the them in there because more for the non binary listeners because like, hey, you got rap.
[01:01:11] Speaker A: Yeah, you gotta. You got a French Canadian. You got a Quebec.
[01:01:15] Speaker C: If I could not love this. This beautiful human anymore than I are like, yeah.
[01:01:22] Speaker B: Turns out he's not just French Canadian. It's not just that. He's also queer. It's a little bit of that too.
[01:01:26] Speaker C: You know, we also have a very similar hairstyle. I like. You can't see it. But this is, this is.
[01:01:36] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. No, no, no. I was gonna say. No, our envy has the envy Mullet. Like our, our wrestling envy. No, yeah.
[01:01:46] Speaker C: They were like, here you. It's 2026, so you actually have to tr. You actually have to change your hair. So these three different styles. And I was like, I want the mullet.
[01:01:55] Speaker B: I'm choosing to believe you both just love Eddie Guerrero that much.
[01:01:59] Speaker C: I hope so. I.
[01:02:01] Speaker A: This is actually why I decided to go with she, they and not stick with they and them. Because I can't do the mullet, but I can do that.
[01:02:08] Speaker C: Yeah. Oh, yeah, that's.
[01:02:10] Speaker B: Yeah.
[01:02:12] Speaker A: I, I just learned that there's a modern French non binary pronoun in French.
El.
Yeah, that's cool. I like that. Good job. French, French, the French country. I get it.
[01:02:29] Speaker C: I get the, the language and the country. I get it. Get it all in one.
[01:02:34] Speaker A: The French.
[01:02:35] Speaker C: The French.
[01:02:37] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. So speedball just starts off Just kicking the. Out of Davis, and he's kicking him so much that that Davis can't actually get a hold of them to eat them.
And they keep going with that, and they let us know about how collision is going to pre. Be preempted by college basketball. So if you want to watch collision, good luck with that. Just watch a replay.
[01:03:02] Speaker C: Yeah.
[01:03:03] Speaker A: Yep. They're just kicking and kicking and kicking. And then Dunkzilla finally gets pissed enough.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, so, like, Speedball gets him out on the apron. He sweeps the leg, and then he does that big triangle moonsault.
And then Davis is just like. No, off.
[01:03:23] Speaker C: Yeah.
[01:03:24] Speaker A: Chops him a bunch. And he has him on the apron, and he does that. Like, they don't know what to call it, but it's definitely like a brain buster. Like, he did the Fletcher, does this brain buster from the top rope where, like, he drops your head first onto the turnbuckle. Davis basically just did that, but he did it on the apron, and it looked disgusting.
[01:03:44] Speaker C: Yeah, Like, I called it a power bomb or a back breaker, because that's what you're talking. When he hurts his, like, lower mid back.
[01:03:52] Speaker A: Yeah, because he landed on the apron, like, on the. It was more. It looked more like he hit the. The top of his shoulders and the bottom.
[01:03:58] Speaker C: He did. Yeah. He was selling it as his, like, lower back, but.
[01:04:02] Speaker A: Yeah, but like, it looked cool. I think his back hit the ropes. I loved it.
Yeah. So Davis is just. They're. They're saying that, like, Davis is pissed about losing the titles on his first defense. It was his first title in. Aw. So now he's trying to get the Don Callis family back in contention.
[01:04:20] Speaker C: Sure.
[01:04:23] Speaker A: He wants a crucifix bomb, but he gets away from it. And then they're fighting on the corner, and Speedball somehow gets a liger bomb. Yeah, dude.
And he hits a shooting star. Press for two.
[01:04:39] Speaker C: Lovely.
[01:04:39] Speaker A: Shooting star presses shooting star press time. Adventure kick.
Davis cuts them off, and they're both down and they're back to their feet. And they try a strike exchange, which Davis obviously is gonna win. He's like, let's. Let's throw forearms.
[01:04:56] Speaker C: One thing. The one thing speedball Mike Bailey should not have done during this fight. And what is this beautiful little humanoid do? He gets into striking match with Mark Davis. I was like.
[01:05:13] Speaker A: And not even. Not even, like, kicks, which are his thing. No, they're like, let's forearm this giant guy in the face. And that did not go well.
[01:05:23] Speaker C: Oh, my God.
[01:05:25] Speaker A: So, yeah, Davis just wins. That kills
[01:05:30] Speaker C: Just like, I would not want to be hit by Mark Davis.
[01:05:37] Speaker A: God.
Yeah. And then Speedy comes back and he hits some really, really solid chops on Davis.
Yeah, Davis just is like winds up and chops him back and devastates Mike Bailey.
[01:05:54] Speaker C: At some point. He gets. Is it the.
Yeah, the rebounded lariat and the speedball spins like
[01:06:07] Speaker A: at the spin cycle. Oh, God. Like it gets bad. Like, Davis just throws them from a pout like a throwing power bomb. They're just like, toss only two.
Speedball still gotta fight. He gets a backslide, then kicks Davis in the back of the head.
Davis avoids a buzz slot. Buzzsaw kick. Lariats him again and then actually does hit. Close your eyes and count to. But only gets two.
[01:06:32] Speaker C: Amazing.
[01:06:34] Speaker B: Pretty wild. Yeah, he didn't count the. He counted the two.
[01:06:40] Speaker A: Not to, only to two.
He wants it again. Speedball kind of forces them to. To take it into a power bomb. Gets a Hurricane Rana kick to the face. Hits the Nicolepy and then time adventure kick in the corner. And he actually hits Ultima Weapon.
They never hit Ultimo Weapons.
They're always like, actually get it. Yeah, they're always like, do you want to win the match with this? With your finisher? Oh, no. You know, I think I would rather just land on my knees as hard as possible.
I hate having these.
[01:07:15] Speaker B: Yeah, that's fine there.
[01:07:17] Speaker C: Oh, yeah, don't worry about it.
[01:07:20] Speaker A: Don't worry.
[01:07:21] Speaker B: Let me tell you. So I currently am not a fan of having a right knee. So I understand it. My right knee has let me down.
[01:07:30] Speaker A: Yeah, you gotta do an Ultima Weapon.
[01:07:35] Speaker C: You just gotta get out there and fail an Ultima Weapon on my old
[01:07:39] Speaker B: boss and be like, hey, come here.
[01:07:41] Speaker C: One home
[01:07:44] Speaker B: before. One more thing before I go. And then Ultimo Weapon exit interview.
[01:07:50] Speaker C: It's a Ultimo.
[01:07:54] Speaker A: Like, why did she do that?
Who?
[01:07:57] Speaker C: What was this?
[01:07:59] Speaker B: First of all, how did she do that? Second of all, why did she do that?
[01:08:03] Speaker C: Did you bring a turnbuckle in here?
[01:08:08] Speaker B: Like, I'm not that bad because I was also impressed. Like, holy.
[01:08:13] Speaker A: So let's see. They. They announced during all this, like, commercial break. They're doing Kyle Fletcher versus Robbie Eagles for the TNT title. Brawling Birds versus Sisters of sand and Death Rattles versus Commanders and Mascara Dorada on collision. Good for them.
[01:08:28] Speaker C: Let's go.
[01:08:29] Speaker B: I'm into it.
I love how much Lucha we continue to get on Saturday night.
[01:08:35] Speaker A: It's good. I like Lucha. They cut to MJF's post match promo where he Talks about how he had the greatest dog collar match of all time. The greatest Iron man match of all time, and he had the greatest.
[01:08:48] Speaker B: Yeah.
[01:08:48] Speaker A: Texas death match of all time.
[01:08:50] Speaker B: You know what?
He might not be wrong because he's right about the Iron man match.
[01:08:56] Speaker A: I don't think he's right about the Iron man match.
[01:08:58] Speaker B: I disagree.
I think that him and dad, him and Danielson's Iron man was my match of the year that year.
[01:09:05] Speaker A: It was very good, but I don't know if it was the best Iron man match of all time. I don't think there's any good iron man matches, to be honest. It looks like it's a form.
[01:09:13] Speaker B: It's the one good one. It's the one good one.
Good one.
[01:09:19] Speaker A: That doesn't make it the best. I feel like you're the only good one does.
That's like a. That's just a low bar.
It's like.
[01:09:35] Speaker B: It's like being the best jazz flist. I know. But, like, still, like, you're the best
[01:09:42] Speaker A: around trans woman to come out of my family, and I'm pretty sure I'm the only one.
[01:09:49] Speaker C: So that's.
[01:09:54] Speaker A: Yeah. So, like, he's. He's just sitting, like, to. To paint the picture of what this promo looks like. If you haven't seen it, Max is sitting on the floor.
Blood is Terry Funk pants. He's wearing the Terry Funk tights and he's got the belt on his waist.
He's breathing heavy. He's sweating. He's just saying, like, the adrenaline is wearing off and he's in a huge amount of pain. He can feel the blood pouring down his face, but it doesn't matter because he's still the champ.
Sunday was his birthday and he had turned 30, and he's already gonna go down as the greatest of all time. And he is one step closer to it.
Hangman is the biggest obstacle to him being the greatest of all time. And now he's off the board. He can't challenge for the world title ever again in AEW.
Yeah. He's got next 20 years. He never has to worry about Hangman. Yeah. If he wrestles till he's 50, he never has to worry about it.
[01:10:52] Speaker B: Sure.
[01:10:53] Speaker A: Then he demands that the cameraman ask him the question, what are you gonna do? Actual Jacob Freeman, you just won, successfully defended your World Men's World Aw title. What are you gonna do next?
I'm going to Disney World.
[01:11:10] Speaker C: Bloody kiss on the. On the camera.
[01:11:13] Speaker A: And kiss on the camera.
I loved it. I. I just.
[01:11:19] Speaker B: A little child he's just a little baby.
[01:11:22] Speaker A: I know I have to shout out the fact that there was a lot of people on Blue sky who are just like, I didn't know MJF is Disney adult.
And I'm thinking like, oh, no, are you, are you young? Do you not know about the what are you doing next? I'm going Disney World bit. That like every super bowl champion, like,
[01:11:44] Speaker B: that's like, that's the thing. Like, that was a meme, basically.
[01:11:49] Speaker A: It's a, it's a big pop culture thing.
[01:11:51] Speaker B: It's a pre Internet meme, basically. Yeah.
[01:11:55] Speaker C: Holy.
[01:11:56] Speaker B: You know, it should be a meme. The fact that he calls himself Big Hebrew.
That is amazing. That's a pop. It pops me every time. I love it.
[01:12:05] Speaker A: But no, like, I, I, I am old enough to remember that damn commercial the first time I saw it. That's all I want to say.
All right, we go.
[01:12:14] Speaker C: Do you think, oh, MJF is actually is hall of Famer? If he is, if see, is he goat?
[01:12:21] Speaker A: I mean, it depends on the hall of Fame because the W, they don't have one.
[01:12:28] Speaker B: They will, you know they will, they
[01:12:31] Speaker A: will eventually if they're around long enough. But if they make, they'll make a hall of fame. They got would be interesting if they do.
Anyway, we, we, we cut to Okada with Trent and Rocky Romero AKA Rapungi Vice.
More talking their RPG vice right now.
It's not too long of a promo.
Okada is just like, oh, you thought that I was your family. Young Bucks and Jack Perry. Well, I was never your family.
There's only one family that matters to him and it's a Don Callis family. And also their bus isn't cool.
He's only loyal to one family, unlike to Cash, who is shaking, shaking hands with John Moxley.
[01:13:22] Speaker B: Yeah. How very dare I?
[01:13:25] Speaker C: I love that. And I love that at p pay per view when at the end of that match when he leaves and he stops and then he goes back and he shakes his hand and I was like, yes, this is good.
[01:13:39] Speaker B: Yes, this is good.
[01:13:41] Speaker A: My baby boy.
[01:13:42] Speaker C: Continue, man.
[01:13:45] Speaker B: He remembered. He remembered and he showed him how to blade.
[01:13:51] Speaker A: All right, next no holds barred match, Marini Shafir versus Toni Storm. Wait, we're not doing that. Tony was attacked from behind and presumably killed because like they posted like a Black Dahlia picture of the crime scene. Yeah, yeah.
[01:14:10] Speaker B: And she's gonna be out for a while. I can only imagine the person that did that. This some sort of dastardly vaccine hating transpo piece of.
I I think you can choose whether or not you want to bleep. I just made it up on the. On the fly.
[01:14:29] Speaker C: So I think it. I think it was Mina. I like silence. I like silence. Idea that it's jealous.
Just trying to take over.
[01:14:39] Speaker B: Yeah. Silent.
[01:14:40] Speaker A: Our.
[01:14:41] Speaker B: Our good buddy and horse person, Silent in the chat, posited the theory that Mina got jealous of Tony and it is built up and that Mina is the one that attacked Tony because she was, like, so ready with that promo and then she came out and won the match with her.
[01:15:00] Speaker C: Yeah.
[01:15:02] Speaker A: I don't know.
[01:15:03] Speaker C: I mean, it was planned there like her. Yeah.
[01:15:05] Speaker A: The. The thing that has happened is they have set up a whodunit.
[01:15:09] Speaker B: Yes.
[01:15:09] Speaker A: Well, so, like, they posted a picture of Tony lying with, like, blood coming out of the back of her head and, like a bunch of quote unquote clues lying around, which they don't really look like clues. It just looks like a storage closet where they kept everybody's prop.
[01:15:25] Speaker C: Everybody's gimmick stuff. Yeah.
Prop closet.
[01:15:29] Speaker A: The coat room.
It was the butler, literally.
[01:15:36] Speaker B: This is. This is real. Who shot Mr. Burns Energy.
[01:15:40] Speaker C: Yeah. Monet's blue M.
She's not even there.
And there's a kendo.
[01:15:51] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah.
[01:15:52] Speaker C: The gold.
The gold chair.
[01:15:54] Speaker A: The gold chair. Yep. So, yeah, it could be anybody. Yeah. Who knows? So this ended up being a bait and switch kind of situation. I don't know if they, like, changed their minds last minute because Tony actually is hurt or what, but meet a share. Cara stepped in to wrestle Marina.
It was a pretty good match.
[01:16:14] Speaker C: Yeah.
[01:16:14] Speaker A: I thought crowd was very dead for it, but, like, yeah, they were kind of.
[01:16:19] Speaker B: I enjoyed my. Yeah, I enjoyed the graphs. The graphs was nice.
[01:16:23] Speaker C: Yeah.
[01:16:23] Speaker B: Crowds.
[01:16:25] Speaker A: I sucked butts.
[01:16:27] Speaker C: I was annoyed that Marina, who's kind of billed as this badass, keeps losing these matches. But I loved.
I love their back and forth.
[01:16:37] Speaker B: I love me do better, Mina.
[01:16:43] Speaker C: Yeah, right. Oh, my God.
[01:16:45] Speaker B: I know we talk about it, like, every week, but I. She. And she's overdoing it, but I don't care because I love it, like, every time she does it, I'm like, you should stop doing it so much. But also.
[01:16:57] Speaker A: Yeah, it's very cool.
Yeah, I. I think that I like that Marina, like, chucked her socks at somebody. I couldn't tell it was coming.
Said some, but, like, this crowd sucked. So I wouldn't have been surprised if the crowd said it was right near
[01:17:14] Speaker C: Danielson, but I thought it was. Yeah, it's just like socks go flying by.
[01:17:20] Speaker B: Rod's probably in the back like honey, that's good money you just threw away. Are you doing
[01:17:27] Speaker A: God, what? Like yeah. Mina comes out with the barbed wild baseball bat which Danielson points out is not a hold that can be barred.
[01:17:38] Speaker B: I love the Dragon because he, every time they, they do a no holds bar he's like, I need you to understand that, that this is raw.
Like I need you, it's important for you to him for you to understand the origins of what a no holds bard is and why this is just a hardcore match in your bra.
[01:18:05] Speaker C: Fundamentally opposed to the naming of this match as a no holds.
[01:18:08] Speaker A: Barda swings the barbed wire bat at Marina a bunch of and Marina's just like no, don't off and takes the battery from her, beats her up a little bit. Mina beats her up a little bit more and then she goes and she gets a bucket of champagne bottles and she's like less serious now because she's all going like woo, yeah, let's go. All right. So I was like, she's no longer pissed about. Yeah. Because when she came out she didn't do her dance. She was just like, I have a bat. I'm going to kill you because I think you killed my wife.
[01:18:39] Speaker C: Right. Because Marina was like, I, I cannot confirm nor deny what I did or did do. Toni Storm.
[01:18:46] Speaker A: And Marina kicks her in the ass and says kicking the ass never hurt nobody. Which I disagree with because I've been kicked in the ass pretty hard and it hurts.
[01:18:55] Speaker C: And it hurts.
[01:18:56] Speaker A: Yeah, it hurts a lot. I had a bruise on my ass for like a month one time and it sucked.
[01:19:01] Speaker C: Oh my God.
[01:19:03] Speaker A: Yeah. Karate was no joke. Yeah. They're on commercial. Yeah. Marina gets a chair and they're on commercial. And Excalibur is like, you know those punching bag arcade machines?
[01:19:12] Speaker C: Yeah.
[01:19:14] Speaker A: Quote unquote. Let's put a hundred bucks down and let Marina and speedball go sick on it and see who wins.
I think I actually do want to see that.
[01:19:24] Speaker C: Oh yes, that is, yes, that is an affirmative.
Danielson's on his phone. Phone Googling arcades. Fresno.
[01:19:33] Speaker A: That'd be a good bronamico episode.
[01:19:36] Speaker B: Holy.
[01:19:38] Speaker C: Make it happen.
[01:19:40] Speaker B: No, I really like a Marina forearm versus a speedball kick or something like Jesus.
[01:19:46] Speaker A: Yep.
Oh God. What else the happens?
The crowd is so dead that like I can hear the ref. Is like talking to Marina very, very loud. Loudly.
So he had like he, he picks up a champagne bottle and you just hear him say take it and have a swig.
[01:20:05] Speaker C: Yeah.
[01:20:07] Speaker A: Opens it, has a swig. And then he's like 45 seconds until we're back from commercial.
[01:20:15] Speaker B: Jesus Christ.
[01:20:17] Speaker A: And then as soon as it comes commercial makes her come back, Marina takes another swig and she's gonna spit it. And she spits in.
Meet his face.
[01:20:35] Speaker C: Yeah.
[01:20:35] Speaker A: But then she gets kicked and, like, the bottle goes flying everywhere. The champagne just like, sprays. Commentary.
[01:20:42] Speaker C: That was a great shot too.
[01:20:43] Speaker A: And she hits this La mystica looking face.
Top rope, sling blade also on the chair. Gets two.
[01:20:52] Speaker C: Yeah.
[01:20:54] Speaker A: Crowd is still dead except for, like, crazy happening.
Mita tries to do her spinning splash gimmick gets caught. Mother's milk. But then, like, claws Marina's eyes out to escape.
So Marina says, let's get a table. And this is where things go a little bit sideways.
[01:21:11] Speaker C: Yeah. Crowd goes nuts.
[01:21:13] Speaker A: Crowd's like, yay. Finally, table. Finally they fight above the table. And I guess Marina is going to backdrop Mina through.
[01:21:24] Speaker B: Don't work that way, though.
[01:21:25] Speaker A: Well, unfortunately, what happens is Marina goes ass first through the table.
Mita misses it entirely and hits her head.
[01:21:35] Speaker B: Just bounces her on the mat. Yeah, it is real bad. It was.
[01:21:40] Speaker C: She was crying when they pinned. They. The camera glanced down at her and it was just like, oh, I would have been. Are you kidding? That hurts.
[01:21:48] Speaker A: Yeah. Daniel said is like, oh, I think Mita hit her head on the table and they watched the replay. It's like, oh, no, it's worse. She hit the floor.
[01:21:56] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. No, it was real bad. And all of a sudden he's like, oh, like we just did a replay on. On cte. Like, oh, no, know, like, that was not.
[01:22:08] Speaker A: That was not.
[01:22:09] Speaker B: That was not great.
[01:22:10] Speaker A: Little. Little bit of a. Little bit of a hiccup. But the table broke at least.
[01:22:14] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, yeah. We say at least they avoided Matthew.
It won't be.
[01:22:20] Speaker A: I don't know. I think it's going on Matthew, but for a different reason.
I. I thought Marina broke her tailbone for a second because she got me back in the ring and, like, wouldn't stand up. Like when she did that cover, she just, like, put her knee over Mina's throat and it's like, oh. Oh, well, yeah.
[01:22:37] Speaker C: Danielson was like, I wonder if she didn't go down because of her back.
She just can't.
[01:22:43] Speaker A: Y. Y.
But like, I guess they recovered.
Mina kicks out of that cocky cover and grabs a champagne bottle, breaks it into Marina's face, hits the Utican Storm 0 and they win. She wins. Good for her.
[01:22:57] Speaker C: Yeah.
[01:22:58] Speaker B: Yeah. I want. I just want to say that when. I mean, when I say that no one should have to work Injured.
That's not just me, Ella. That's also Mina with the head hurting and. And Marina with the possible backs. Y' all should just.
Yeah. If you crack your ass, throw that X up.
This isn't the 90s. You don't gotta power through.
[01:23:21] Speaker C: Yeah, this.
[01:23:23] Speaker B: Remember that time John Moxley almost killed Hangman?
[01:23:27] Speaker A: Yeah.
[01:23:27] Speaker B: Like, to just murder him in the face and, and they had to stop the show because they murdered him in the face so hard.
[01:23:33] Speaker A: That.
[01:23:34] Speaker B: That was good, actually.
When a face murder happens, you stop the show.
[01:23:40] Speaker A: There's a point where I. I feel like I need to say that I know that Ronnie is here kind of backing up Marina, but as long as she stays away, Marina's fine. If she comes in and stays because of Marina. Marina, you're on the list and you're un.
I don't want the list because you're a hot, crazy, Moldovan lady and I love you, but don't.
[01:24:04] Speaker C: And I was like, oh, I revising my opinion on. On Marina, because.
[01:24:14] Speaker A: This has not been the first time it happened. Like, she brought Ronnie out to a Ring of Honor match once.
[01:24:19] Speaker B: Yeah.
We tried to warn Tony them. We. We were like, don't do it.
I was like, don't do it.
[01:24:28] Speaker A: I. We. We'll see where it goes.
[01:24:30] Speaker B: Real mad. The queen's gonna be angry, supposedly, that
[01:24:35] Speaker A: this is not a.
This might not be a full time thing, but we'll see.
[01:24:40] Speaker B: No, I think it was a stunt because she's fighting the other.
[01:24:46] Speaker C: I'm sorry, Other loot. Dip.
[01:24:47] Speaker A: The other. The other failed actor.
[01:24:50] Speaker C: Yeah.
[01:24:51] Speaker A: Loser.
[01:24:52] Speaker B: I, I, I'm so sorry. Oh, I'm. Wait, I'm editing this one. So I can just ring bell it and continue to say it all I want. I've landed on.
[01:25:01] Speaker C: Yes.
[01:25:04] Speaker A: It's not that bad.
[01:25:07] Speaker B: I hate them.
Yeah.
[01:25:10] Speaker A: So. Oh, wait. One thing. That other hat. I'll think I'll mention since it's a murder mystery. Tony. Siobhan says that he doesn't think Marina did it because he saw the Death Riders backstage when me and Luther found Tony. So it had to be someone else. Ooh, the plat thickens. The tables turn and they break the Benoit LeBlanc.
There we go.
Wow.
Let's go.
Let's go.
Arms up.
Unfortunately, that's not the first time I've had that thought. Thinking about those movies, I can.
[01:25:53] Speaker C: I can see why.
[01:26:00] Speaker B: I have a murder mystery for him to solve. Jesus.
[01:26:04] Speaker C: Yo, that's not a mystery.
[01:26:08] Speaker B: He just walks in, he's like, this is a tragedy.
[01:26:14] Speaker A: Confounded by the dogs. Out by the pool.
Why did he do that? Why did the man leave the dogs by the pool before murdering his family?
[01:26:25] Speaker C: See? So they didn't eat him.
[01:26:27] Speaker B: Jesus Christ.
There's something of.
You've killed Erica.
[01:26:43] Speaker C: Don't let the cat in.
[01:26:44] Speaker B: Oh, no.
[01:26:45] Speaker C: On my way.
This is a possum just waddling from
[01:26:52] Speaker B: Chicago down to Ohio.
[01:26:56] Speaker C: Pennsylvania, don't know where in Pennsylvania.
Oh, just get to the state line and start screaming. Erica.
[01:27:06] Speaker A: All right, we're gonna move on. We're moving on. Renee is with us.
Renee's with Andrade to congratulate him for winning at Revolution Over Bandino. And he's on a roll.
[01:27:18] Speaker B: Match of the year. Check it out.
[01:27:20] Speaker A: He starts saying that he wants the aw. World title. When John Cruz arrives for Andrade from
[01:27:29] Speaker C: mjf, what we say, as soon we knew it. As soon as he was like, we're not working for him. Right? We knew it.
[01:27:38] Speaker B: We knew that they were like, well, hold on, let me bring up this phone with. No, no, it's not Dick Pig. It's Don Gals.
[01:27:47] Speaker A: It really looks like a dick pick.
[01:27:50] Speaker B: I know you're scared there for a second, but. No, no, it's not. It's not.
[01:27:53] Speaker A: It was Dick Slip Jones.
They've FaceTimed Don Callison to tell Andrade to accept the money because he is the money man, which technically. Yeah, he is. He was fronting. He was fronting United Empire and New Japan. Oh, God.
Andrade's like, why are we doing business with MJF when he's the champion? And Don tells him they're getting paid. Don't worry about it. Because they're going to take out Darby next.
So I guess Andrade is next for Darby.
[01:28:25] Speaker B: Cool. Great.
[01:28:27] Speaker A: Great.
[01:28:30] Speaker B: Literally, eat him alive and just kill him. Just wring his neck.
[01:28:37] Speaker C: See? Like, like, why is MJF saying he's like, greatest of all time, like a Hall of Famer Goat. And you're. You were buying off a hundred and seventy five pound opponent. Like,
[01:28:54] Speaker A: what are you doing?
You just beat Hangman Adam Page in a Texas death match. Why are you scared of Darby Allen?
[01:29:05] Speaker B: And you're just like, he's tired maybe. I don't know.
[01:29:10] Speaker A: I mean, I wouldn't want to do it either.
[01:29:12] Speaker C: So Skull Jones is.
What are you doing? Doing, like, what? Oh, Goat of what?
[01:29:20] Speaker A: You know what? Because you mentioned Skull, I want to mention that the greatest band name I ever. The greatest band name. Greatest band name I ever saw at a live concert was this Japanese.
They were like a pirate slash JoJo's bizarre adventure theme band and they were called the Skull Revolvers.
[01:29:37] Speaker C: God, that's actually.
[01:29:39] Speaker B: That's kind of amazing, actually. That's pretty great.
[01:29:42] Speaker A: They sucked ass, but they were fun for one show.
[01:29:47] Speaker C: One show is all you need.
[01:29:49] Speaker A: They were the main event of a free show. That's actually.
And then they broke up like a month later.
Apparently there's not a big market for nautical theme Jojo's bizarre adventure metal bands.
[01:30:03] Speaker B: No,
[01:30:06] Speaker A: I mean, it is. It is Japan though, so you never know.
[01:30:10] Speaker B: All right, weirder things, weirder thing.
[01:30:12] Speaker A: It's time for our main event and I'm gonna. I'm gonna drop the. The deep lore of the New Japan. This is the elite versus Chaos.
The elite being Jack. Well, Jack Perry was not in the elite in New Japan.
[01:30:30] Speaker C: Right.
[01:30:31] Speaker A: But Young Bucks were elite. And then Chaos was Okada's old stable with like, that had like a million members in it. And Rapungi Vice were one of their, like junior heavyweight tag team guys. And they had like long standing feud with the Young Bucks. Like they wrestled on a couple Russell Kingdoms and they were awesome every time.
[01:30:52] Speaker C: Oh, wow.
[01:30:53] Speaker A: So they're kind of running it back a little bit here.
Young Bucks are wearing Brandon Cutler colors, I noticed. Good for them.
Oh, that's right. You've never seen their mooc. They have their own. Well, he's not a nuke. He's a. He's not a mook. He's a stooge because he has a name.
[01:31:10] Speaker B: Oh, he's just. He's a stooge because. Yeah, he has a name. That's the difference.
[01:31:14] Speaker C: He's the one who got hit in the ftr, right?
[01:31:18] Speaker A: Yes. So like that color, like that yellow and blue and leopard print or tiger print on their pants. Yeah, he used to have like a whole jumpsuit that looked like that.
[01:31:29] Speaker C: Oh, cool. Oh, cool. That's nice.
[01:31:33] Speaker A: He was king of the Stooges. So it looks like somebody in the crowd is offering one of the Bucks a joint and he's like, I gotta wrestle this match first.
[01:31:42] Speaker C: Oh, my God. I thought. I thought that he was getting an autograph.
[01:31:48] Speaker A: No, he looked like. It looked like he totally had like a. It was either like an actual joint or a spliff of some type. I don't know. Drugs.
[01:31:55] Speaker C: Incredible.
[01:31:56] Speaker A: Yeah.
Yes.
[01:31:58] Speaker B: Because this is. Yeah, this is a. A pretty.
I find this to be a very joint.
Yeah, no, Topanga gave this to me today because I have the best friends ever. And I was like, oh, that is two to three times the size the joints I usually have.
[01:32:19] Speaker A: I mean, either Way they offered a buck of weed and he said, later, bro.
[01:32:25] Speaker B: All right, Respect Bucks. Super kick party. Let's go.
[01:32:28] Speaker C: Oh, yeah, let's do it. He'll need it with the neck.
It's either he's the one with the busted up neck or the busted up head. So either way he's gonna want that. He's gonna want that cheetah piss.
Listen. Yeah, let's go.
I'm not even with you.
[01:32:55] Speaker B: Dropping the funny strain.
Like, oh, no. That was amazing. Holy.
[01:33:04] Speaker A: You have to understand that he is saying this with a bog in their hands.
[01:33:09] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[01:33:10] Speaker A: And his lighting currently.
[01:33:13] Speaker C: Yeah. And blowing it out the way out the door. Not spoke inside.
[01:33:20] Speaker A: Was she to piss.
Oh, man. So it kind of just starts out by like flipping off everybody. And then Rapungi Vice goes after Jack and then the Bucks take them out and like, Okada's all alone with all of them down. He's like, oh, I'm sorry. Let's do the Elite chant.
He's like, yeah, because he used to be. He used to be part of the Elite with the young Bucks and Jack Perry. And they were all bad guys. Guys.
[01:33:48] Speaker B: Very briefly. Yeah.
[01:33:49] Speaker C: Oh, so. Oh, they were. Oh, they were bad guys.
[01:33:53] Speaker B: Oh, the Elite. The Elite became evil Elite for a while there. Oh, you came near the end of that run.
That's when they brought in Okada. Yeah.
[01:34:03] Speaker A: That's how Swerve and Osprey won their EVP titles from them.
[01:34:07] Speaker B: Was the end of. The end of that. And then we had the wonderful arc where they. It was Punished Bucks where like, they wouldn't even get the good intros anymore. They're like, no, we ran out of budget and they would like get their names wrong on. They would get jobber entrances and great. After it came in, like, right after that is when you started watching I love the.
[01:34:33] Speaker C: I loved Punished arcs. Those are my favorite.
[01:34:36] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. That and the going through it arcs. Which again, me right now, basically is.
[01:34:40] Speaker C: Okay, well, I don't like that for you though.
[01:34:42] Speaker A: I don't like that.
[01:34:43] Speaker B: But I like it as a gimmick.
Yeah. I'm in reality, I'm on the injured reserve list.
[01:34:51] Speaker A: They get a. We get like an exchange between the Pongi Vice and the Bucks. So I could take him back to like a decade ago.
They do some of their old spots and like, you know, they do that sunset flip, that double extra sunset flip power bomb into the ropes like that. It's sick stuff. And then they do dives on everybody and they cut off Jack and then the Chaos boys run a bunch of offense on them into the commercial and then commentary spends the entire commercial talking. Rocky Romero for some reason.
[01:35:27] Speaker C: Sorry, I.
I was like.
They brought his mom into it. Yeah, they brought trans mom. And Tony Schiavone was like terrible human being. And Tony Schiavone has seen.
So.
[01:35:47] Speaker B: Oh, yeah,
[01:35:51] Speaker C: Carlos.
Carlos is insane. It turns out NATO's not insane. Rocky. I probably. Rocky is Danielson. Just like he said. He has reached in his mind his. The inner Buddha, which I have not seen at all.
[01:36:08] Speaker A: Yep. Yeah, he claimed. Yeah. Rocky. Rocky apparently goes around town, everybody. He's like the third or fourth most important person in professional wrestling and if
[01:36:17] Speaker C: not that, the fifth, which is.
[01:36:20] Speaker A: It's possibly true because he kind of used to be the go between between AW and New Japan and.
[01:36:27] Speaker B: Yeah, this is true.
[01:36:29] Speaker A: Now he's just wrestling.
[01:36:30] Speaker B: Yeah, now you're just wrestling. And Claudio's got a dual contract with AW and cmlo.
[01:36:36] Speaker C: Yeah, because they. They brought up. He was just like. Yeah, they used to go around like going to all these places and being these incredible wrestlers and now they're just stooges for Don Callis, which is a huge slam, honestly.
[01:36:53] Speaker A: Y.
[01:36:54] Speaker B: The Jackal. That guy. Oh, that guy.
Cyrus the Virus.
[01:37:04] Speaker A: Oh, my God.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, they do. They bring up Rocky's mom and Trent's mom and I do this sue, we should make you. I gotta get you into the brawl with sue in it. Hampter.
[01:37:19] Speaker C: Oh, God.
[01:37:19] Speaker A: Yeah, that guy says he doesn't like your food.
[01:37:25] Speaker B: Holy. Real quick. Hampter.
Where. Where are you in your Monday. Your Monday homework?
[01:37:32] Speaker C: Super early.
So we're the. We're going like the second week of January 1997, so super early.
[01:37:41] Speaker B: All right, hold on. I gotta do something. I need to see when of the truth Truth commission start because you're gonna a brick.
[01:37:50] Speaker A: I. Anyways, continue, man. Learning about apartheid South Africa in 1997.
[01:37:56] Speaker B: No, I can make a stable out of that. Give me Don Callis.
[01:38:05] Speaker C: Oh, my God.
[01:38:10] Speaker B: Anyways, back to.
[01:38:12] Speaker A: Literally back from commercial and Jack Perry hits his company back. Lariat makes a hot tag and.
They want to do a super kick party.
Rocky breaks up the super kick party and tells Trent to super kick him, but he gets kicked instead.
And he works some more cow counters. They get the stereo sharpshooters and Jack gets Okada into the snare trap. Yeah, they want the Melcher driver. Rocky gets his shiru from the corner. And then they team up for Punky Vice team up again. They get their strong zero that.
Oh, God. What Is it. It's like beach break into like an actual beach break with like the foot stop.
It's called Strong Zero.
Strong Zeros are delicious. They're 9% and they get you up as long as you don't get the revan ones.
[01:39:09] Speaker B: So real quick, hampter.
[01:39:11] Speaker C: Yeah.
[01:39:12] Speaker B: April 7, 1997. Pro wrestling fans were introduced to the Truth Commission.
So it's. It's coming.
Nobody fun with that in the garden.
[01:39:25] Speaker C: Yeah.
Good, good, good. I want some this. I'm sure that. I wonder if Is Nation of Domination still around at that point? I don't know. We'll see.
[01:39:40] Speaker B: No, I think they may be a little bit. But imagine Don Callis with hair.
[01:39:45] Speaker C: I can't.
[01:39:46] Speaker B: Okay, now imagine Don Callis with like a lot of hair.
Like a lot.
Get right. You'd be like, wait a second, wait a second. Hey. Yeah. Continue.
Keep us abreast of that as that develops.
[01:40:03] Speaker C: I will. I'll let you know.
[01:40:07] Speaker A: Breast the. The chaos boys get their.
Get the advantage. They. They mock the young bucks pose and they're all three of them are going to go for tombstone pile drivers. They count to three.
But then. Oh, wait, what happened? They bit everybody in the. Again.
It did not quite have the impact of which injected it to Aad the first time, but I. I appreciate the.
[01:40:35] Speaker C: Well, it's hard.
But he was like. It was hard to sell. Like, he was just like. I was wondering what was going on because ultimately you're. The face is in the groin and there's not a lot being shown. So the audience.
[01:40:50] Speaker B: Yeah, like most things in wrestling, it's in the cell and Yeah, I think it was a nice call back.
I was just. I was. I was delighted they did it again.
Just once more with feeling more growing biting.
[01:41:08] Speaker C: Please.
[01:41:09] Speaker A: I. I am glad that somebody did. They did it again. But like the crowd barely reacted because I don't think they realized what had happened.
[01:41:15] Speaker B: Yeah, and they suck.
[01:41:17] Speaker A: Maybe the crowd was just dumb because I remember when Jack did it the first time. The crowd immediately was just like, oh my God. What the.
He put that man on the.
[01:41:31] Speaker B: Anyway, mom, why is there a. In Jack's mouth?
[01:41:36] Speaker A: Jack.
[01:41:37] Speaker B: Mom explained to me about the cat.
[01:41:39] Speaker C: There's a ch. Young girl in the front row crying.
[01:41:44] Speaker A: Yeah.
Oh, God is Weener.
Anyway, BT Trigger, they launch Jack at Rocky with the. The knee strike. And that's it. The winners are the elite.
[01:41:58] Speaker C: Hey, ho wa. I just want to mention that one of the Jacksons gets a Northern Light Suplex chain.
That it is absolutely super great that
[01:42:09] Speaker A: I really, really like, it is really cool that he does that.
Yeah, it is cool. Again, that is cool.
Well, that was a great episode of Dynamite. I enjoyed. Oh, no, no.
[01:42:22] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. No, it was way better. It was so much better than that one that sucked. Remember, Gonna have a blast figuring out what to leave, what to bleep, what the ring bell like.
[01:42:43] Speaker C: And the thing you gotta definitely bleep some because that makes intrinsically more funny.
[01:42:50] Speaker A: I think we can bleep.
[01:42:52] Speaker C: Yeah.
[01:42:53] Speaker A: I mean, like, I don't really have a problem with it, but I know most people don't. Not really anyway.
[01:42:58] Speaker B: But like, I used to have. I used to have way more of a problem with it until I like, you know, figured I was a woman. I was like, oh, well, that's why I had such a problem with it.
Like, I felt it deeply. Really pissed me off. I felt awful about it.
[01:43:16] Speaker A: Yeah, it's like, it's like the kind of one that you got to have. Like, it's like last bullet in the swear chambers. Like, that's like.
[01:43:24] Speaker B: That's how I feel about it. Like, you only say that if someone like. Oh, like they really.
[01:43:29] Speaker C: That is.
[01:43:31] Speaker B: And it's specific behavior too. You know what I mean? It's like a specific.
There's a specific type of behavior. I decided just gonna beep it. So it's gonna be even funer for everyone.
It that that's the one that everything else is gonna get left. That shit's gonna give.
[01:43:50] Speaker C: You need to you. When. When swears have become relatively commonplace, there needs to be one to help be held at a higher standard in order to denote a more extreme circumstance.
[01:44:03] Speaker A: But I don't know if it really does because half the world that uses it does not have a problem with it.
[01:44:08] Speaker B: Yeah, it's only like that here.
[01:44:11] Speaker C: That's true. Yeah.
[01:44:12] Speaker A: So like I feel like saying it is a way to strike back at the Puritans. Those
[01:44:18] Speaker C: are.
[01:44:19] Speaker A: This promo is going on now and it's. The Bucks are like, oh, it's bittersweet that they had a good match on Sunday, but they lost and they lost in front of their family. But FTR was a better team and it was one of the Jackson's birthdays and they lost on their birthday.
[01:44:34] Speaker C: So Matt and MJF have the same birthday.
[01:44:38] Speaker B: I was just gonna say that was.
[01:44:39] Speaker A: That means Happy birthday, boys.
[01:44:42] Speaker C: I wonder if they had cake afterwards in the back. I wonder if they had. She kissed.
[01:44:46] Speaker A: I hope they kissed too.
[01:44:48] Speaker C: Oh, she kicked me too.
[01:44:50] Speaker A: We kissed at the Young Bucks combination. Young Bucks.
[01:44:59] Speaker C: With the Burberry Plaids.
[01:45:02] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
[01:45:04] Speaker B: And like. Like, for punch and low Burberry paper.
[01:45:13] Speaker C: Sitting in the chair.
He's going to hypoglycemic shock.
[01:45:20] Speaker B: No, it's literally that exact shot of him in the promo, like, just pissed. It's his birthday party and he's just so, like, having the worst time still
[01:45:30] Speaker C: frame of him on that shot. Just with him with a birthday hat on it, piece of sheet cake in one hand. Sorry, I'm Midwest, so I get obsessed for sheet cake.
[01:45:43] Speaker B: No, it's important.
It's important.
[01:45:46] Speaker A: All right, so, yes, the Bucks are Their. Their. Their dad picked them up and gave them some inspiration. So they're gone. They're the. They're still the Young Bucks and they. They know how to do do, and they're gonna scratch and claw their way back to the top, and no one will get in the way of the winning the tag team titles again. Great episode. Nice little promo. Let's go. Oh, no, wait. It draws up.
Damn it. I'm Christian Cage. It's still going. And this is when I noticed that the timer on the. The. The video still has, like, six minutes left.
[01:46:15] Speaker B: I'm like, like, what are you doing? For real? Like, I mean. And here's the thing.
I want to point this out too, because we didn't. We skipped real hard over the Revolution.
Did Cope get a pop when he came out at Revolution? Oh, yeah, for sure.
Did Christian Cage get, like, a warrior pop?
I feel like Cage got, like, a PA and I'll. Oh, maybe I'm biased because, like, do I love edge? Sure, I love edge. I missed my dad.
I said it. Okay. I miss him so much.
Oh, like, yeah, Ed, you're cool. Like, Christian Cage rules. Christian is. Who could have thought that Christian. Christian was always the better one. Like, holy.
[01:47:16] Speaker A: Yeah.
So they come out and Cope gets the mic, and he has to. He has to be, like, for a second. Never thought you'd see this, huh? Because they're in the ring with the Young Bucks, and that's like, yeah, that's kind of a big deal. Yeah, I'm just over the show, but,
[01:47:33] Speaker B: like, yeah, no, this show was done.
[01:47:35] Speaker A: There also was, like, the thought of, like, I did actually kind of expect this to happen when you guys showed up in the same company together that this would happen at some point. Point.
Anyway, he relates to them hating FTR because they attacked his family, too. And Beth doesn't need an infusion surgery, so he needed to go back to aew.
And at this point, I realized, like, wow. Adam Copeland Sounds the most Canadian he has ever sounded. His career delivering this promo like that accent was thin, Dick.
[01:48:11] Speaker B: You could taste the maple syrup there.
[01:48:13] Speaker A: Oh, man, that man's been eating beaver.
[01:48:18] Speaker C: He know the great northern way.
[01:48:21] Speaker A: Hey, they eat beaver up there.
[01:48:23] Speaker B: This is true.
I mean, if. If my. If my life starts looking up sometime in the next year, may I eat beaver, too?
Anyways, so surely.
Surely this. This. This episode is done right.
[01:48:38] Speaker A: No, wait.
[01:48:40] Speaker B: No.
[01:48:41] Speaker A: Because Copeland has to let the young bucks know face to face. Like, hey, I know that you wanted to get another shot at them and work your way up to it, but. Sorry.
Christian and I are going to wrestle them at Dynasty, and it's already been decided. And so, like, that's official for Dynasty. Coat. Cajun coat versus FTR 2.
FTR comes out. Now
[01:49:08] Speaker B: to the great havens. Like, this is.
This is a.
Oh, my God. This is Return to the King. Like, Return of the King levels. Like that. We have seven endings here.
We've gotten back to the Shire, like, four times.
[01:49:24] Speaker A: Yes. We have scourged the Shire three or four times, and we've killed Sharky.
[01:49:29] Speaker B: Oh, Sharky.
[01:49:31] Speaker A: Oh, Sharky.
God.
Yeah. Stokely is a brave little guy walking with his limp.
[01:49:39] Speaker C: Yeah.
[01:49:39] Speaker A: He's like, you.
[01:49:41] Speaker C: Let go. Let go of the chair.
[01:49:44] Speaker B: Hey, don't give. Hey, I'm current. I got a cane right now. Okay? Don't give him.
I'm sympathetic to. To Stoke joke, okay?
[01:49:52] Speaker A: Oh, that's what I'm saying. Like, I am. I am giving genuine sympathy to the heel manager in this instance, and he is. You do not limp like that if you are not hurt.
Wrestlers never lie.
[01:50:08] Speaker C: This is surely not a ruse.
[01:50:13] Speaker A: And they tell him to shut the up.
So Stokely, like the tactical genius he is, says, go get them, boys.
Nftr, like the colossal brain geniuses that they are, go to the ring where they are outnumbered two to one, and they are immediately killed.
Why did they do that? That was dumb. I don't know why they did that.
[01:50:44] Speaker B: Because family, Tequila and pro wrestling. Okay.
God. God's in there.
[01:50:55] Speaker A: Guts.
[01:50:56] Speaker C: Oh, Hail, Big Stoke.
[01:50:58] Speaker A: Big Stoke. Do it for Big Stoke. I mean, yeah, like, I would fight for him, too.
The tag titles are left in the ring, and they each bend over to pick up the belt, and then they, like, are holding it, and they stare down, and then they drop the belts.
[01:51:16] Speaker B: This could have been an email.
[01:51:18] Speaker A: This could have been. This could have happened before the match.
Before.
[01:51:25] Speaker C: Perfect. Perfect. If only. If only.
[01:51:28] Speaker A: If only, if only. But someone is booking the show like a jackass. The last couple Weeks and I had.
[01:51:34] Speaker B: Yeah.
[01:51:35] Speaker C: Jackass. Is Russo. Is Russo on the box?
[01:51:38] Speaker A: No, Russia would never be hired by them.
[01:51:41] Speaker B: Oh, you know here.
[01:51:42] Speaker C: No, I know, I know.
[01:51:43] Speaker B: You know what though?
What's his nuts?
Road Dog just got canned from the Fed. I wonder. I wonder.
I wonder if Road Dog's not sticking his little Weasley face in because
[01:52:05] Speaker C: at
[01:52:05] Speaker A: least Russo at one point or another successfully booked a show Dog has never
[01:52:12] Speaker B: successfully booked out of. Yeah, no Dog.
[01:52:17] Speaker C: The same one that once premiered with Jeff Jarrett 150 years ago.
I flipped my when I opening of zero hour and I was like, is that Jeff goddamn Jarrett? What?
No.
97. Go away 80.
[01:52:40] Speaker A: Great.
[01:52:40] Speaker C: Go away 80.
[01:52:42] Speaker B: Great.
[01:52:44] Speaker A: Anyway, that was dynamite.
[01:52:49] Speaker B: Is it finally over?
[01:52:50] Speaker A: It's finally over. It had some good matches, but the show itself a good match is not a good show make. And this was.
[01:52:57] Speaker C: No, it's pay per view fatigue. I. I mean but it's. It was all talk. It was few good matches was the
[01:53:05] Speaker A: biggest problem for me with it was. I am still pissed about the Rousey of it all.
[01:53:13] Speaker B: Yeah, more.
Yeah.
[01:53:15] Speaker A: I was just like. Not unless they put on like a completely banger episode. I was like, you had like I was not going to be won over.
[01:53:23] Speaker B: And then they like, yeah, like I'm going into this in a bad mood. Yeah.
[01:53:27] Speaker A: Like everywhere.
It's just everywhere.
[01:53:35] Speaker B: Just grabbing Tony Khan's face and like rubbing. Rubbing his face and who did this? Why you do this?
[01:53:43] Speaker A: Not that I.
Everywhere I would let him with a rolled up newspaper.
[01:53:49] Speaker C: I will say that at least it is just what I will call like a standard post pay per view fatigue card as opposed to. It could have been catastrophically worse given what was.
[01:54:05] Speaker A: I mean. So I'm like thinking like how could that have gone worse? Because like you had that coffin match and then that was almost died.
[01:54:16] Speaker B: That was real bad.
[01:54:17] Speaker C: Yeah, I mean.
That's what I'm talking about.
[01:54:25] Speaker B: Showed up. We would be watching something else this week.
[01:54:28] Speaker A: We would have been talking about the last slam town.
[01:54:31] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, yeah, there's something. Yeah, we would have found something queer and grabs and done that instead.
[01:54:37] Speaker A: Yeah. So that's a little bit how the sausage is made anyway.
Hey.
[01:54:44] Speaker B: Jesus. Happy wrestling.
[01:54:46] Speaker A: Yeah, I guess check the links in the description.
[01:54:50] Speaker B: There's various. There. There's various new merch up. Yeah, check the links merch thing.
[01:54:56] Speaker A: Now there's. It's fine, it's fine, it's fine.
[01:55:01] Speaker B: Yeah. Knifey. Knifey has merch already.
[01:55:05] Speaker A: Knife is more than me. And that is kind of hurtful, but.
[01:55:10] Speaker C: No, that's not. Absolutely not true. Without you knife, you would be nothing.
[01:55:15] Speaker B: Yeah, but we're still.
[01:55:18] Speaker A: I. True story. I won Knifey in a rock, paper, scissors contest at the Ren Fair.
[01:55:24] Speaker B: Oh, that's a fantastic way to come across Knifey.
[01:55:27] Speaker A: So I still had to pay for her because it was just like me and this woman were just like, oh, I want that knife. At the same time who just, like, paper, scissors for it. Sure.
[01:55:37] Speaker B: Yeah, exactly.
[01:55:40] Speaker A: Well, it turns out knife beats no knife.
[01:55:45] Speaker C: And that's what.
[01:55:45] Speaker A: I just stabbed her during life. In life.
[01:55:48] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah. So you should probably lay low. And we should probably get out of here. I'm gonna hobble my way.
[01:55:54] Speaker A: I remember.
[01:55:54] Speaker B: Clones, clones.
[01:55:59] Speaker A: The Venetian bog lords of Fresno. The night crawlers.
I will put that video.
[01:56:07] Speaker C: You really don't know.
[01:56:09] Speaker A: You don't know about the night crawlers? Really?
[01:56:11] Speaker B: I have no idea what you're talking about.
[01:56:13] Speaker A: And I'm the Fresno Nightcrawler. No, the Venetian. Well, the Venetian bog lords is more of an esoteric version. I don't.
[01:56:19] Speaker C: So the funny thing is, I have not this entire. I didn't even bother to look it up.
[01:56:24] Speaker A: You. You didn't look it up? Oh, great. Here we go. All right, we're signing off. Happy wrestling. Happy bog boy. Let's go.
[01:56:47] Speaker B: Yeah, knowing me, that's how it would go. The Ella. You. You look different. What. What's. What's going on? Like, oh, well, I took progesterone, so I have tits and I got skin.
Like, that's how this is going to go.
