Detachable Gimmick

[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. [00:00:56] Speaker B: Yeah, well, that. That's as good of energy as any for me. Welcome back to Wednesday night Fake Fights. It is I, Ella Taylor, what with the she's and the hers. This is a show where we watch Aw, Dynamite every week with some wrestle queers. And then we talk about it, and we may or may not just started the show with a Benoit mansion. So my wrestle. Yeah, arms up. My wrestlequeer number one. [00:01:26] Speaker A: Go as Erica the length Warrens. And I have to correct you, Hampter, it did not happen in Tennessee. It was in Georgia. [00:01:35] Speaker B: The actual crime. [00:01:37] Speaker A: Yes, the actual crime. [00:01:39] Speaker C: Oh, the actual crime was in Georgia. Yes. [00:01:42] Speaker B: The crimes happened in Atlanta. Yeah, the dogs. The dogs that were by the pool. That pool was in Georgia. Okay. [00:01:52] Speaker A: Is in Fayetteville. I don't know where that is in Georgia, because I don't care. [00:01:59] Speaker B: Why. Why, why that. This. This is why we don't have more listeners. I'm just saying. [00:02:10] Speaker A: No, the bed [00:02:13] Speaker B: geography. Oh, my God. [00:02:15] Speaker C: I think our lack of geography and geopolitical savviness does listen. [00:02:21] Speaker A: All I know from listening to other podcasts is you're not supposed to know about geography. You just be like, I don't know what's below Pennsylvania or some. [00:02:31] Speaker B: Yes. [00:02:32] Speaker A: All. [00:02:32] Speaker B: All I know about geography is that our. Our waffly friends are on an island. That's it. Yeah. Fantastic. And we've already heard from them. The apple of my eye. Yo. [00:02:50] Speaker C: Yay. I'll go. Coming down my zorb. [00:02:54] Speaker B: Go. Come out in the Z. [00:02:56] Speaker A: It's so cute. It's so cute. [00:03:00] Speaker B: I'm watching. I'm like. And I'm like, oh, it's so cute. But I'm also nervous. Yeah, No, just. You just absorb it. It's just fine. Everything's fine. [00:03:13] Speaker C: Absorb opens. There's a little bit of confetti. Yeah. [00:03:17] Speaker B: Okay. [00:03:18] Speaker C: Flex. That's it. [00:03:19] Speaker B: Oh, okay. I'm. I'm putting on a. I'm putting on a poncho like a Gallagher show. [00:03:28] Speaker A: I'm just hiding behind the other end of the ring. [00:03:36] Speaker C: You're Doing the Kevin. You're doing Kevin Knight. You're like, don't touch the bag. [00:03:41] Speaker A: Yeah, as I know. Nope, nope, nope. I'm needed in the basement. [00:03:50] Speaker C: I'm not out until third match. I'll see you then. Yeah. [00:03:57] Speaker B: Wow. Folks at home who couldn't see Erica, did the little, like, go into the basement bit from Austin Powers? It was amazing. She disappeared. [00:04:07] Speaker C: We don't know where she went. [00:04:09] Speaker B: Yeah. I'm so scared. [00:04:13] Speaker A: Is that thing gonna blow up at the end? [00:04:17] Speaker B: What thing? I don't know. [00:04:22] Speaker A: I'm gonna, like, turn into a sprinkler or blow up or spray cheese. [00:04:28] Speaker B: No, the. The monkey clones have come and retrieved the Zorb. Like, like, it's disappeared. This appears to be a successful entrance. Is what happened. [00:04:41] Speaker A: We did it. [00:04:41] Speaker C: We did it. I haven't had any sprinklers screaming for, like, at least for 48 hours. So I'm very. [00:04:50] Speaker B: Yeah. Okay. All right. Because last week you were still leaking a little. Okay. You were still a little leaky. [00:04:58] Speaker A: All right. [00:04:58] Speaker B: I'm reluctantly, cautiously taking off the poncho jokes on you. [00:05:05] Speaker A: Oh, no, no, that's fine. [00:05:08] Speaker B: Oh, God. I mean, I know. I knew what this was. Yeah. I'm playing with. Playing with my life here. Speaking of playing with our lives, Erica, where are we this week? [00:05:20] Speaker A: We're in not Fayetteville, Georgia, incident. We are in Nashville, Tennessee, home of Jeff J. [00:05:28] Speaker B: Other incident. [00:05:30] Speaker A: Yeah, that's not an incident. That's just tna, home of one that [00:05:36] Speaker B: my favorite restaurants I've ever been to is a spaghetti house downtown Nashville. It was a steakhouse, not spaghetti house. It was a steakhouse. And I was. It was like a steakhouse that one of the sides you can get was spaghetti. And I was like. And I was like, what? In what world is like a little plate? Is how it does a side in, like, a fancy steakhouse. And, like, this is, like, steakish. So nice. We'll bring drinks. It's all good. And this is more money and you should spend. Would you like some spaghetti? And I say, yes, yes, I would like saucy noodles. And it was just the most wonderful experience. Steak and spaghetti is a good combination. [00:06:19] Speaker C: Okay. [00:06:20] Speaker A: I mean, and that. I don't see why not. [00:06:24] Speaker B: That and being the most hungover I've ever been in my entire life because of a combination of tequila and sweating in a tent because it was 110 degrees out. [00:06:37] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, [00:06:39] Speaker B: that's. That's what I remember from Nashville. And everyone got chiggers from the dirt. Yeah, that was great. Yeah. [00:06:47] Speaker C: God, really Selling. Nashville, Tennessee. [00:06:52] Speaker A: Hey. [00:06:52] Speaker B: I played some really sweet venues, though. Like, I had. I. I had some. I had a lot of fun. We wrote a song. It was a good time. Like, we had a good time in Nashville. It's just we got home and everyone had to get steroids. It was awful. [00:07:08] Speaker A: I mean, I. I have also been to Nashville. I don't. I didn't camp. We stayed. I went there for. It was for a band trip in high school, so I also didn't get to drink tequila. [00:07:21] Speaker B: Yeah, mine was a band trip, too. It was just. It was a band trip in my early to mid 20s. Different kind of band. [00:07:27] Speaker A: Oh, no, this is like, we were, like, doing, like. Yeah, there was a pit orchestra. Yeah, we. I don't remember any of the places we ate. I remember we ate at some place on the way back in St. Louis. But. No, what I remember most about Nashville was we had to go. [00:07:48] Speaker C: We. [00:07:48] Speaker A: We had to. I say had to, but, like, we went to the Grand Old Opry. Yeah, that was the thing. [00:07:54] Speaker B: Cigarette in the alley behind it. It was fun. [00:07:57] Speaker A: I went inside and we watched some people be like, do y' all like country music? And I'll be like, why not? [00:08:06] Speaker B: I don't remember. We're like, we should check out the opera. We got there and it's like this much monies to get in. We're like, we could spend that on alcohol at Tootsies right next door. So we're going to go there. But it's cool. I just put my cigarette out on the Grand Old Opry. It was so cool. [00:08:25] Speaker A: I could not. I could not tell you the first thing about the Grand Ole Opry. I just know that I went there. [00:08:32] Speaker B: Yeah, there you go. [00:08:33] Speaker A: And we had. Oh, we had the barbecue. We had barbecue down there. It was pretty good. [00:08:37] Speaker C: Oh, yeah. [00:08:37] Speaker B: Oh, that was enough. No, the barbecue was. Was actually quite good. That was the first time I ever had a proper, like, vinegar based barbecue sauce. And it was just, oh, me all the way up. That was a good time. [00:08:52] Speaker C: The only thing, we stopped in Nashville on a road trip down south and stayed at a Airbnb with a French bulldog named Lefty. [00:09:03] Speaker B: I'm in love with Lefty. [00:09:04] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah. Well, he was left handed, so it makes sense. But he. But we also had some really great barbecue. [00:09:12] Speaker B: Wait, hold on, hold on. Did he write letters with his left hand? How did you know that? The French boy. [00:09:20] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah, yeah. He led with his left paw. [00:09:25] Speaker A: My uncle had a horse named Lefty and obviously he was left handed. Why. [00:09:29] Speaker C: Why would you not name why would [00:09:31] Speaker A: you name him Lefty? If he was right handed, you would name him. Yeah, he's too. [00:09:40] Speaker B: It is too early in the show for this chicanery. [00:09:44] Speaker A: Okay, you know. You know what it's exactly on time for in the show. [00:09:47] Speaker B: I was gonna say. Speaking of chicanery. Chicanery. What do you got? [00:09:56] Speaker A: Yes. [00:09:57] Speaker B: Because everyone comes to the wrestling show for the Cryptozoology. [00:10:01] Speaker A: Loves this. [00:10:03] Speaker B: Where are you going? Where are you going? [00:10:06] Speaker C: Number one hot segment on this. On this podcast. [00:10:09] Speaker A: Yep. It's not any of our insightful commentary on the program. It is local cryptids that I look up, like, two hours before the episode. [00:10:21] Speaker C: Wow. Talk about. [00:10:24] Speaker A: Well, sometimes. Sometimes I. I planned the Dover Demon out well in advance. That's a special one. I didn't know that we were going to figure out it was Tommy Chompers, but. [00:10:33] Speaker C: Oh, that was so good. [00:10:35] Speaker B: Yeah. Okay. Yeah. [00:10:37] Speaker C: My secret. It was there the whole time there. [00:10:40] Speaker A: He's a changeling, but, you know, it's not a changeling. Or. Tommy Chompers is Nashville's cryptid, which is something called a noblin. No, it's called a knob. It's. It's so. It's. It. [00:10:55] Speaker B: Goblin was my nickname in high school. I'm just saying it gets it. [00:11:00] Speaker A: It gets its name from a piece of land where, like, people spotted it. It's called Todd's Knob because naturally a man in the 1700s would name his property after his deck. [00:11:11] Speaker C: Yeah. I would want to be like, Cindy's vulva. It's just 40 acres. [00:11:23] Speaker A: 40 acres of Cindy's vulva. [00:11:25] Speaker B: No, dude, no, no, no. Ella's. And it's a waterfall just gushing at all times. Look, I'm having a time, all right? It's unfair. [00:11:37] Speaker A: So. So what this thing is, is, like, nobody actually knows what it is because they think it's either a shape shifter or, like, they just call, like, whatever weird things show up in this area. Noblins. So, like, so it's either like, one thing that turns into other stuff or [00:11:55] Speaker C: it's a lot of variations. [00:11:57] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:11:57] Speaker C: So, like, there's maybe, like, something wrong with the knob. Like. Yeah, you know, something should get checked out. [00:12:04] Speaker B: Yeah, but you should get something checked out. [00:12:06] Speaker C: It might be on a leyline. [00:12:08] Speaker B: It might be on. [00:12:09] Speaker A: It could be on a lay line. I didn't look into this, but, yeah, there's like, people have seen, like, mountain lions with horns or owls with deer legs and then, like, half human animal hybrids. [00:12:22] Speaker B: Yeah. Say a wizard and. Or a mad scientist. [00:12:26] Speaker A: So, like. [00:12:26] Speaker B: Or one and its sidekick Other. [00:12:29] Speaker A: So, like, there's. There's some other ways. I mean, I don't. I don't want to say it's the Bell witch did it because the bell, which is also down there, but the Bell witch is a ghost, not a Cryptid. [00:12:42] Speaker B: Okay. [00:12:43] Speaker A: And I don't actually really know anything the. About that story because I didn't look [00:12:47] Speaker B: it up, but apparently specifically you refuse. [00:12:51] Speaker A: No, I just didn't. I thought about doing it, but I decided to do the Noblin because it. Was it really fake? [00:12:59] Speaker B: Because its name was the Noblin. Because it involves saying Tom's Knob. You can say it. It's. [00:13:06] Speaker A: No, no, it's Todd. Todd's knob. [00:13:15] Speaker C: Should get his knobs. [00:13:16] Speaker A: That's Todd the length knob. [00:13:21] Speaker B: But no, because. Because it's a knob, it would be Todd. Todd the knot length knob. Right. [00:13:29] Speaker A: Apparently you can tell. The way you can tell if something is a Noblin is if the. The silhouette of it doesn't match the shadow. So if the shadow does not know the story. [00:13:43] Speaker C: Okay. [00:13:43] Speaker B: Yeah, it's a Jericho. [00:13:47] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. People would. It would. It would eat livestock so people would leave out offerings and this is all really cool. Or it could just be a made up thing to sell this new Noblin festival that's happening down there in Tennessee this year. And if it is, I don't give a. Get that bread. Everybody likes. [00:14:15] Speaker B: Need us a Mothman. [00:14:18] Speaker A: All right. [00:14:18] Speaker B: Can we get a Mothman in here? All right. [00:14:22] Speaker A: Yeah, they really did. [00:14:23] Speaker B: What were you saying about your dick? [00:14:26] Speaker A: If they were trying to get a Mothman, they didn't do a good job because they like have like Mothman's got like, you know, thousands of pages of ink spilled about it. This thing I could like I found on a website that's literally just like Tennessee Cryptids dot com. [00:14:44] Speaker B: So I saw some mutated animals. Yeah, I saw some mutated animals from whatever they're dumping back that way. But. And also Todd's dick is kind of weird. So we've got these noblins. [00:14:56] Speaker C: There you go. [00:14:57] Speaker A: Yeah, I mean, like there's like this real. Like I found one description of it that was just like really weird. It's like they've. Somebody like pulled one out of the river and they were keeping it in a tub and it was dying and it was weird. It had like a fish tail, like a lot. Yeah, it's. It's like very weird and it looks AI generated, but. [00:15:16] Speaker B: Oh, God. So it's like just the Saddest Mermaid three, you know? [00:15:21] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. [00:15:22] Speaker B: Or splashed or whatever. The. [00:15:24] Speaker A: That movie was flash, but more body horror. [00:15:26] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. Actually, you know what I mean? I think. [00:15:31] Speaker A: All right, so, yeah, like, no, think about it. So, like, splash, but inst of being like, oh, it's a romance. It's like, there's a guy's, like, keeping the mermaid in the tub against her will. [00:15:40] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:15:41] Speaker A: And she has to escape. Yeah, yeah, yeah. [00:15:43] Speaker B: Okay, so, folks, I. That has to exist, and if it does, please let us know, because I need to watch that. [00:15:51] Speaker A: But the mermaid has to have agency. It can't just be a monster. It's got to be like, I like Ariel. [00:15:56] Speaker C: Okay. [00:15:58] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. It's gotta be like, I'm. But I'm. [00:16:01] Speaker C: I'm. [00:16:02] Speaker B: I'm just. I am girls. [00:16:04] Speaker A: Yes. [00:16:05] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:16:05] Speaker A: My final girl is a mermaid, but [00:16:07] Speaker B: I'm a girl, you know? I'm just a girl. [00:16:09] Speaker A: Yeah, that's what we need. [00:16:12] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:16:15] Speaker A: There's a. There's a sign behind Commentary that says, but I digress. And I think that sums up that entire opening. [00:16:22] Speaker B: Oh, Jesus Christ. Yes. Yeah. [00:16:26] Speaker A: Excalibur welcomes us to the show, runs down the. The card, and then he throws to Kenny Omega and Will Ospreay in the back. And Osprey calls Nashville cheeky Slags, and I don't think he should do that. He says that every time. He should stop saying cheeky Slags. Whenever he and Kenny team together, they've never lost. And he says, hey, tag out if you're tired. And Kenny's like, actually, no, you tag out if you get tired. And then, like, Mox just kind of wanders into frame leg, looks back and forth's like, wow, there's no tension in this room. [00:17:02] Speaker B: Yes, there is, and it is sexual. Damn it. [00:17:05] Speaker A: Because. Because Mox is the Greek chorus. Yeah, like, there's no tension here. Hey, guys, guys. [00:17:17] Speaker B: I saw this movie this weekend about this dude trying to get home and gets lost on the turnpike. And [00:17:25] Speaker A: Is there a Greek chorus in that? [00:17:27] Speaker B: Apparently there is a Greek chorus, and I think it is. Has something to do with a person of color. And thus people are really mad. [00:17:37] Speaker C: But, yeah, Helen is. Yeah. [00:17:40] Speaker B: Oh, oh, oh, buddy, buddy, buddy. [00:17:45] Speaker A: If there's, like, a black person in that movie, they're upset, and there are [00:17:49] Speaker B: several, so they are drowning and piss. It's amazing. Yeah, but, yeah, no, John Moxley is the Greek chorus because he saw Odyssey this weekend, was like, tony, I got an idea that. That. That pleases me very much. Like, I've been introduced to this concept called a Greek chorus. [00:18:11] Speaker C: Turns out I've Been kind of doing it the whole time, but now I'm gonna be a. [00:18:15] Speaker B: It's called Cincinnati Chorus. We're doing [00:18:21] Speaker A: Ohio chorus. [00:18:24] Speaker B: Tension in here. [00:18:27] Speaker A: He doesn't like the temperature. To me, that's just his catchphrase now. I don't like the temperature in here. All right, and we go into our first match is TNT championship Kevin Knight defending against Darby Allen. DNR Allen. [00:18:49] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:18:51] Speaker B: And I had. I hate my feelings about this match. I, I. I don't know. I do. I like my feelings about the opening, which is he didn't seem to be getting cheered nearly as hard. Like, it didn't feel as big of a deal to have Darby coming out, and it felt like he was absolutely gonna lose. And, like, I just felt. Everything felt right, you know? Like, it felt like it was. It was just like, and Darby's here. And I was like, yeah, exactly. Cool. Just no, like, I don't care about this. Like, do some cool with Kevin. Kevin's gonna beat you. And that. Yeah, that sums up my thoughts on it, too, is because I unfortunately liked this match quite. This match, kind of, and I hate to say it, but in part because Darby would rather physically harm himself than go to therapy and apologize for his crimes, basically. I really enjoy, like, that unfortunate truth led to much entertainment for me this evening. We'll put it that way. [00:20:05] Speaker A: I mean, I suppose. I mean, it's. I don't. This. How do I want to phrase this? This is like, this. This is the kind of match where you're like, okay, like, you get when Darby schtick works. [00:20:23] Speaker C: Ah, I said that, too. [00:20:25] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like this. It finally worked because I wasn't. Because he was in his lane. [00:20:32] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:20:32] Speaker B: You know. [00:20:34] Speaker C: Yeah, he always does. But this time. It makes sense. Is literally one of the only notes [00:20:39] Speaker B: that I. Yeah, it makes sense. And it's not as, like, on its face. Are you kidding me with this? You know what I mean? [00:20:48] Speaker A: Like, yes, yes. The only there is. I mean, like, he. Knight's a good opponent for him. [00:20:55] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:20:55] Speaker A: I, I don't know how Knight is a great. As good an opponent for him as he is, but he just is, like, it just kind of works out. [00:21:04] Speaker C: He's. [00:21:04] Speaker B: He's just really good, and he knows how to play with them in the space, I think, really well. [00:21:09] Speaker C: And he's also not super big either, so Darby can't use him to throw him around, which is what a lot of people do. And the way that he, like, takes those really nasty bumps. [00:21:21] Speaker B: Yeah. It's like, if you want to do your big, nasty spots. You're going to have to get more creative. And that's. That's nice. Which makes great fur. Oh, Kevin. Kevin, folks. [00:21:34] Speaker A: Kevin. [00:21:35] Speaker B: I mean, we'll get there. I don't know if you can get there. [00:21:38] Speaker A: We don't gotta do, like a big play by play, but. [00:21:41] Speaker B: Yeah, but Kevin. Kevin Knight with the. Benoit mentioned. Kids. [00:21:46] Speaker A: Like, he did it himself. God damn. [00:21:48] Speaker B: He did the damn thing. He did. He. He's. [00:21:51] Speaker A: He's. [00:21:52] Speaker B: Oh, my God. He said, the dogs are by the pool. Then he said it. [00:21:59] Speaker A: Yeah. Unless. Unless somebody can correct us on. What he actually said was like, I. I replayed that multiple times, and it sounds like he's really saying, like, before he. He catapults Darby into the steps, he says, which was an awesome spot. [00:22:13] Speaker B: I hated. I hated how great that was. I was like, I've never seen anyone do that, and I was like that. [00:22:20] Speaker A: Right, but why would that happen like that? I. I didn't like to. I didn't like it necessarily because it was a little bit too contrived, because no one's ever. Well, like, they've never had, like, just like a loose plate on top of the steps before. [00:22:35] Speaker C: Yeah, that was. [00:22:37] Speaker B: But also, as far as we know, that's just how they're constructed. [00:22:41] Speaker A: No, they always have. They're always angled in the middle so that they can. [00:22:44] Speaker B: Yeah, I suppose they are. [00:22:46] Speaker A: They never have that little thing. [00:22:48] Speaker B: Oh, well, now I hate [00:22:51] Speaker A: was. It was very weird because I remember, like, it. [00:22:54] Speaker B: Oh, no, no, it's me. You know why? You know why? You know why? You know why? You know, I know why. Actually, it's back. It's because they were in a place. They had the stage Runway. So the stairs didn't go up. They were. They didn't go to the corner. They put the. The flat on it because it was going flat up against the stage. And if it was still had the corner. So the stairs come with a mod. It was modded and it got unmodded with a piece of shit's face. So, like, that was. That was a fun time. [00:23:26] Speaker A: Okay. [00:23:26] Speaker B: Because there's no way. There's no way that didn't suck ass. Like. Like watching it happen. I was like, that. That had to blow. There's no way that wasn't, like the shittiest thing. Yeah, [00:23:44] Speaker A: but yeah, if. If you think. If. If you heard Benoit. Benoit. If you heard Knight say something other than the Benoit thing, let us know so that we're not accusing the Benoit [00:23:54] Speaker C: now, is what I heard. [00:23:56] Speaker A: I'm doing that's what I heard as well. I'm doing the Beno now. [00:24:01] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah. Can I say follow through, Kevin? Follow through. [00:24:09] Speaker C: He's got him by his legs, and he's got his tongue out on the side of his mouth because he's about ready to flip his face up into the, like, corrugated metal. It's great. It's gorgeous. [00:24:21] Speaker B: I love. Kevin Knight is just a nasty heel. Just a kill a heel. Like, I love it. He's so good. [00:24:30] Speaker C: Yeah, he can be. [00:24:31] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:24:31] Speaker C: If I. Once again, if he. I know he wanted to go maximum heel, I think. And so he's like, yeah, I'll sign up with dawn, but I really think he could just do plan playing heel on his own. [00:24:42] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:24:42] Speaker B: I don't think he probably could family, but I get it there. [00:24:47] Speaker A: Yeah. So, like, the. The way that this match started was they just brawled outside the ring, so they didn't ring the bell. It's like, all that happened with the stairs. There was a big dive. Darby set Kevin up on the barricade over by the timekeeper's table, and, like, a big diving clothesline. I was like, every time they do that, somebody's legs hit the barricade, and I'm just like, oh, what got torn? Nothing. Okay, we're fine. [00:25:17] Speaker B: Yeah, continue. Well, that's. That's an hour of spots where it's just like. That's so stupid. But also, when it's done well, like, when they do it well and the camera catches it. Right. That's real pretty. Like me. That looks real cool. Like, I don't know. And it also. It feels. What's the other thing I wanted to say about that spot, specifically? It feels very aw. Because I feel like up until. Like, that. I feel like up until recently, like, the. The way they do their setup with the timekeeper area feels very aw. You know what I mean? Like, I feel like the Fed did it. Did it differently. I could be wrong, because I haven't watched the Fed in so long. [00:26:02] Speaker A: Yeah. But I feel like they didn't think how they're doing. [00:26:04] Speaker B: Yeah. I can't think of how. I feel like they don't have, like, a table. Like, they. You know what I mean? And. [00:26:09] Speaker A: Oh, no, they do very. They definitely do. It's. [00:26:14] Speaker B: Or they don't have the ledge or something. Like, something's different. I don't know. Or, again, I could be wrong. Yeah. Y'. All. You know, it's 90s, and I could just be thinking back to the 90s where it was open. [00:26:26] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:26:27] Speaker B: But all in All I'm. It's a cool spot. I like it. [00:26:31] Speaker A: Yeah. Darby Crotch's night on one of the barricades over by the Right. Over by the ramp. [00:26:39] Speaker C: Oh, no, it's. It's reversed. Oh, wait, no, it's reversed. Darby gets crotched. [00:26:44] Speaker A: Oh, no, Darby. All right. Darby gets crotched. Somebody got crotched. Either way, Taz was like, you might need some ice water on your gimmick. Which is what I'm just gonna refer to it now. It's like, hey, baby, what are you doing? My gimmick. [00:27:01] Speaker C: Yeah, nice gimmick. [00:27:04] Speaker B: So who wants to see a picture of my gimmick? [00:27:08] Speaker A: Does my gimmick look big, too? [00:27:13] Speaker C: Gimmick infected. [00:27:15] Speaker B: Oh, Jesus Christ. [00:27:21] Speaker C: My gimmick has faults. [00:27:25] Speaker B: I think you need to see a doctor about your gimmick. [00:27:28] Speaker A: I can't wait to invert my gimmick. [00:27:31] Speaker C: I need a new gimmick. [00:27:37] Speaker A: Put a condom on it. [00:27:43] Speaker C: Ripping the mask off is a brave crime. [00:27:48] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. Ripping the mask off is a crime. [00:27:50] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. [00:27:51] Speaker C: We don't unless. [00:27:53] Speaker A: Unless it's part of the rules of the match. [00:27:58] Speaker B: Anyway, remember one of my favorite. One of my favorite songs, Detachable Gimmick. That's exhaustive. [00:28:09] Speaker A: Sometimes I don't. It comes off, and I don't know where it goes. Detachable Gimmick. There's the title of the episode. Detachable Gimmick. [00:28:25] Speaker B: Detachable Gimmick Jones. Yeah. [00:28:31] Speaker A: Yeah. So, like, it's. They. [00:28:33] Speaker B: That's what I'm calling all trans guys from all. From here on out, Detachable Gimmick Jones over here. [00:28:42] Speaker A: Does that make sense? I don't know if that makes sense, actually. No, it does. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Darby does like it. [00:28:52] Speaker B: Sorry. Now I'm thinking about. About hot trans dudes. Hi. Hello, all. [00:29:02] Speaker A: Darby does a. Does an avalanche. Code red. And then he basically just holds on and does a second one, which was kind of cool, I'll give him that. I haven't seen him do that before. Well done. [00:29:12] Speaker B: Yeah, again. And he had, like, the extra rotation, so he, like, face planted. And the way he sold it was just like, oof. Again, that was like, damn. That was a. It's a fun spot. [00:29:25] Speaker A: You. [00:29:28] Speaker B: You. I like that, Tony. [00:29:30] Speaker A: Siobhan announces that you can't measure success by the amount of wins. And actually, Tony, that's. You literally can. You literally can imagine. [00:29:40] Speaker B: That's what the winds are for. [00:29:42] Speaker A: Yeah. Literally. [00:29:43] Speaker C: Measure success to me, Tony. [00:29:47] Speaker A: Yeah, that is exactly what you do. [00:29:49] Speaker B: All right, so the headphones, like, really, I need the IWC to get off my balls about the stats mattering and bringing back all that. Like, it's not happening. So just let them know it's stupid. Thank you, Mr. Choell. [00:30:07] Speaker A: So, yeah, dirty, like, accidentally does a ref bump, so then grabs a TNT belt to do shenanigans. He misses the belt shop. He gets hit with a scorpion death drop, but there's no ref. So Darby picks up the bell and he thinks about it. He says no, and he throws it down. He's not going to hit Knight with it. So he sets up for the coffin drop at night. Hits him with the belt anyway. The tree of Joey Lawrence. Coast to coast drop kick, UFO slash. And that. That ends it. It's a very, very long three count as well. [00:30:43] Speaker C: Yeah, it is. It really is. [00:30:45] Speaker B: I was extremely pleased. [00:30:47] Speaker C: Yeah, the ref gets up and he's groggy or whatever, and it's just. What? [00:30:58] Speaker B: Yeah, you beat him real hard. [00:31:01] Speaker C: His coast to coast is so good. I don't know how he does it. I don't know. It's. He. He's magical. [00:31:09] Speaker A: He's so good. [00:31:11] Speaker B: I. I want to believe that. That, like, RVD watches him do coast to coast and just goes, bro, how [00:31:19] Speaker A: do you do that? [00:31:19] Speaker B: I'm not that high. Yeah, I will. I can't even get that high. And I get really high. [00:31:26] Speaker C: Rock does a good one, but, yeah, he invented the. [00:31:30] Speaker A: That was the original innovator. [00:31:32] Speaker B: RBD's the originator. [00:31:33] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:31:34] Speaker C: Oh, yeah, I've seen one. RVG. No. [00:31:38] Speaker B: RVD. [00:31:39] Speaker C: RVD. And I'm a fan. [00:31:42] Speaker B: Yes. [00:31:45] Speaker C: It's. [00:31:46] Speaker A: It's funny to mention this, that. That they did this match in Nashville, I guess, because this was where Darby and Knight had their C2 match where Darby got hurt. [00:31:55] Speaker C: Yeah. Yeah. [00:31:56] Speaker A: So maybe Kevin did a repeat. Probably not. [00:32:00] Speaker B: I was gonna say fingers crossed, Like I am. I swear to God I'm a good person. I promise. I. I swear. It's. It's just when that. That should tell you how strongly shitty he is that I have no problem saying into a microphone. This person. Yes. No, I wish him ill. Absolutely ill. Will. All the ill will. [00:32:34] Speaker A: The wheel is ill. All right, so nights celebrating and then Kyle Fletcher's music hits, followed by Okada. And night feels a little bit upstage. And it's like. And they get a commercial and they come back and Renee's in the ring and the whole Don Callis family is in there. I missed something. But like, Mark Davis is saying about Andrade, how he had to peel himself off the pavement at Fenway. [00:33:00] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:33:01] Speaker A: Him up so that's their. Their match for the national title on Sunday. Sunday. Redemption. [00:33:08] Speaker B: Mark Davis looking like that guy back in Wisconsin that you call when you. Like, you're just like, you know, I really need right now as a flatbed and be like, yeah, give me one second. I got a guy. And it was terrifying. Like, I was like, who the is that? And they started talking, and he's Australian. I'm like, that's not right. You're supposed to sound like this here. We're gonna go get a six pack after this. All right, you done? You need some tie downs. [00:33:37] Speaker A: You go, Davis. Davis is dressed like one of the guys at that guy. What was that Simpsons joke? The Sneeds feed and seed and feed or whatever. [00:33:48] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:33:52] Speaker C: I don't ever remember hearing him on the mic at any point in time. So I was just like, what the is going on? Like, he got the. The belt. Like, I don't. He's. I've never heard him on mic. Just very funny. [00:34:07] Speaker A: I mean, I liked what he said. He didn't say a lot, but I liked it. [00:34:10] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah, yeah. [00:34:11] Speaker B: Oh, it was great. I was just the juxtaposition. Like, my brain did not know what to do. I was just like, that's. You don't look. [00:34:22] Speaker A: Oh, they're letting him talk. [00:34:26] Speaker B: First of all, they're letting him talk. Talk. Second of all, that. You look. You don't. Don't look like that. Stop it. That's my culture. [00:34:35] Speaker A: You don't know. They look like that in Australia, too. There's plenty of. [00:34:41] Speaker C: They also have a Midwest in the Australia. [00:34:43] Speaker B: Yeah, they do, right? That's why. That's why I love. Like, when people are like. When people are like, what do you mean? You grew up around rednecks? You're from Wisconsin. I'm like, oh, yeah? What do you mean? [00:34:54] Speaker C: They're all over the. [00:34:55] Speaker B: There's rednecks across the whole world. There was a redneck. [00:35:02] Speaker A: When my family used to go to Vermont for vacation, we would drive up a road up in upstate New York to get there, and my dad would call it Cracker Road. [00:35:14] Speaker B: And again, I say all of this is Terms of Endearment because these were my friends. [00:35:19] Speaker A: I mean, less so with these people because, like, every other house had a Confederate flag in upstate New York. [00:35:26] Speaker B: Yeah, that's a little rough. Those were my brother's friends. I don't talk to my family anymore. [00:35:34] Speaker A: Anyway, proceeding on Night Night says that he's going to win because he defended the title on his own. He beat. He actually beat Kyle Fletcher's. Record for most TNT title defenses with this. And Kyle takes a little bit of exception. Yep. Says you. God damn it. 100. [00:36:02] Speaker C: To have some call back. [00:36:03] Speaker A: Oh, man, that's a good callback. I love that call back. [00:36:06] Speaker B: Okay, that's it. All right, that's it. We're finishing the episode and then I'm fumigating the studio. Okay, yeah, that would be a good idea. [00:36:17] Speaker A: No, my friends, Kyle takes exception. Is like, you think you'll become Jet 20 belts on Sunday? I hope you do. Kyle doesn't need the family's help to defend his title either. So he'll ban everyone from ringside on redemption. And right now for his tag team match. Right now. [00:36:41] Speaker C: Except Don, who's on commentary. [00:36:42] Speaker A: Except for Don, who's on commentary. But Don doesn't help every one. [00:36:46] Speaker B: Everyone from the. Don Cal. So that's like 150 people. [00:36:49] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. You gotta clear out the arena [00:36:55] Speaker C: and from ringside. [00:36:56] Speaker B: Damn it. I got it again, too. All right. Just keep. Keep driving. I'll be right back. I. I gotta run downstairs and get the antibiotics. I'll be right back. [00:37:10] Speaker A: Match 20. Protocada vs Bro. It's the battle of the portmanteau tag teams. And Don's at the desk. He says, wild horses gotta run. When they ask him, what the. Why are you let all your guys fight each other so much? That didn't go so well last time. [00:37:33] Speaker C: He's. The wrestlers, they know nothing else. [00:37:38] Speaker A: All they know is. All they know is wrestle, do drugs and violence. [00:37:43] Speaker C: Yeah. People. Yeah. [00:37:47] Speaker A: Wrestlers. All I know is violence. Do lots of drugs and die. [00:37:54] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:37:55] Speaker A: God. That's. [00:37:57] Speaker C: From the little. I know. That seems to be the running motif. [00:38:05] Speaker A: Ice Chance and Bandito and Fletcher start. And the. They're the jockeying for position. And Don's like, bandido lacks leverage. And Taz is like, what the are you talking about? Because he's low to the ground. He actually had. Taz is like, that's not how that work. Well, that's what Don will say about wrestling in judo just to piss off Taz. And that has to have been what that was. Because Taz, like, it was immediately just. There was like, silence. And Taz just like, what are you talking about? [00:38:34] Speaker C: Yeah. Personally. [00:38:38] Speaker A: God. [00:38:38] Speaker C: Yeah. Yeah. He's like, well, you know, I select for limb length, right? And he's like, oh, well, you would have hated me. And I was just like, you would have sued. Yeah. Real personal. [00:38:51] Speaker A: I wish there was a young Taz to go against the Don Callis family. After Don said, I Don't like short people. [00:38:58] Speaker C: I want to just suplex the entire family, one right after the other. [00:39:04] Speaker A: Exactly. Like Final Fantasy 6. [00:39:10] Speaker C: If anybody I. Oh, God, I'd love that. I I. During this episode, I was like, you know what? I'd love to just kick back with Taz and just listen to him talk. [00:39:22] Speaker A: Yeah, I could listen to Taz talk forever, like, in person. Like, yeah, just give him a energy drink and. Yeah, cigar energy drink. I don't know if he drinks, so I don't. [00:39:33] Speaker C: He's either, like, a scotch or red wine. Man. I get that vibe. [00:39:38] Speaker A: I would give Taz a white. Give Taz a white monster and just be like, I share my culture with you now. Now share your stories with me. [00:39:46] Speaker C: I present to you. [00:39:49] Speaker A: This is a cultural exchange. Taz. I. You a short CIS man. Even we can find common ground between our people. [00:40:01] Speaker B: You. [00:40:02] Speaker A: You. [00:40:02] Speaker B: You training girls drink Natty ice. No, some. Some of us just screamed. Some of us just went, yeah. No, no, no, no, no. [00:40:15] Speaker A: I don't know. That's a good match. [00:40:22] Speaker B: I'm back from the basement, and I got everyone's antibiotic shots. [00:40:26] Speaker C: That's not antibiotics. [00:40:29] Speaker B: That's antibiotics come in a little glass vial. [00:40:34] Speaker A: A little glass vial. [00:40:36] Speaker B: A little glass vial. Okay, so keep driving, but I'm also gonna need you to line up, all right? [00:40:42] Speaker A: I already did my shot. You. I don't do shots. I take pills. As long as it gets me bazongas, I don't care. It's. Yeah, I. I don't even know where to go. It was a good match. It's, like, really cool. And back and forth. Like, I really excited for Fletcher Bandito because, like, their little exchanges were awesome. [00:41:08] Speaker C: Yes. [00:41:09] Speaker B: It's two. Two of my favorite wrestlers. Let's go. [00:41:12] Speaker A: Yeah. Brody King, Large man does violence DVD to Fletcher on the apron. That was cool. [00:41:20] Speaker B: Sexy. That was one of the sexiest things I've seen in a minute. Yeah. [00:41:24] Speaker A: God. What happens? [00:41:26] Speaker C: The crowd was really weird tonight. [00:41:30] Speaker A: Like, they were into it, though. They were into this match, I think. [00:41:33] Speaker C: Yeah. They just. They needed to know what to chant is the problem. And no one could decide. There were moments where they were on it, and then there were moments where, like, no one. It felt. [00:41:46] Speaker B: Look, Nashville is a confused people. Look at the. Look at the knobbling. [00:41:51] Speaker A: Okay. [00:41:51] Speaker B: Is it a deer? Is it an owl? [00:41:53] Speaker A: Okay, it's an owl. [00:41:57] Speaker C: Yeah, it's a little. It's both. [00:41:59] Speaker A: It's both. Both. [00:42:03] Speaker C: It's an Aldi Al. [00:42:05] Speaker A: Dear, dear owl. It's like Avatar. There was always, like, mashing together. Animals. It's just a Nashville's avatar. Cool. We solved it. We saw where Nashville is. So. So they. They do a. There's like a really cool spot where Brody hits like the quarter senton on. On. On Fletcher. And then Bandito hits a frog splash. And then, yeah, they cover him and he kicks out. And like, Bandito and Brody just look at each other for a second and they. And Brody's just like. He's still alive. Yeah. [00:42:48] Speaker C: Oh, no. [00:42:50] Speaker A: So they want to do their. Their fastball special. Finisher Connor breaks it up and he wants a rainmaker, but he accidentally hits Kyle and then he does like this really big exaggerated, like total. Yano does. Yeah, he does the big ytr moment. He's not upset about it. So Bandito is actually able to do the 21 plex to Kyle as Birdie. Baby Face suicide is. Okada and Brodito win. They have beat. [00:43:23] Speaker B: I love that finisher. I really love that, that they have that set up like, all right, you do your thing and I'm just gonna throw my body at whoever is gonna get in the way. It's so good. I missed it because I was downstairs getting the antibiotics. Everyone shoulders out. And I love. I love. Gross. Your friends are gross. I'm so sorry. Your friends are lovely. They're good, but they. They are, you know, you know, microbial. But anyways, then neither here nor there. I loved when instead of the normal double team, they do with the Cazadora, they switch it up so that Bandito gets him the guy with the Cazador, and then Brody just chops it out of his chest. [00:44:19] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. [00:44:21] Speaker B: That was so great. Like, it just opened him up. [00:44:25] Speaker A: Can you. [00:44:26] Speaker B: Can you smack this guy's titties real quick before I flapjack him? Thank you, sir. [00:44:32] Speaker C: Real quick, real quick. [00:44:36] Speaker B: All right, we're good. [00:44:38] Speaker A: So there. Yeah. Post match, Don brings out the rest of the family and Okada's leg. Oh, I'm sorry, Kyle. I'm sorry. And then Kyle's screaming is like, that was your fault. It's your fault I lost. Okada doesn't mean it. He's just like a little stinker. [00:44:55] Speaker B: I'm so sorry. Yeah. He says, oh, yeah, you're not sorry. Yeah, yeah. He hit the wrong button. [00:45:04] Speaker A: He hit the wrong button. So they're gonna beat up Rodito, but Andrade comes out to make the save and he just evens the odds and that's that. Oh, boy. Then we get a whole video package about pain maker and [00:45:21] Speaker C: ripped the ever loving out of this. We immediately went because my. My partner was like, he missed something, and we were all went, yeah, this is. This is Jericho's Juggalo person. Juggle. Juggle. [00:45:37] Speaker A: Sona. [00:45:39] Speaker C: Juggle a sona. And it. Like, it's not a phase. [00:45:43] Speaker A: Mom. [00:45:43] Speaker C: I want to be called Pain Maker. [00:45:47] Speaker B: I'm so hardcore. [00:45:49] Speaker C: Yeah, we just. [00:45:50] Speaker B: Oh, my God. [00:45:52] Speaker C: When. I don't know what he wanted from this. [00:45:57] Speaker A: Like, is it. Is it. I don't. Like, I don't. I don't. Yeah, like, that's it. Like, I don't get it. Is it. Is it supposed to be bad on purpose or is it. [00:46:05] Speaker C: Yeah, like, are you. [00:46:07] Speaker B: No, I really don't think so. I really. I seriously. [00:46:13] Speaker A: Because I don't know. [00:46:14] Speaker B: He thinks this is playing. I think he thinks this is playing. And it's so not playing because, like, here's. [00:46:20] Speaker A: Like, here's the thing that I didn't realize. I always thought he was the Pain Maker, but. No, he's just Pain Maker. But, like. Oh, God, it's. There was. There was like, a period in, like. All right, so, like, it's. It's not uncommon for wrestlers to have, like, a dark, evil Persona. Like, Keiji Muto had the Great Muda, [00:46:46] Speaker B: had Evil Dan Housen. [00:46:48] Speaker A: I don't care about Dan House. I'm talking about good wrestlers. Jushin Lager had Keishan Legger, which was like, stick. But, like, it was always just, like, there's always. Like, when they do it, there's like a differentiation. It's like, you are Tran. Like the cat, the wrestler is transforming into a darker character to deal with the thing. [00:47:13] Speaker B: The most awesome version that I loved when I was still paying attention to it was Finn Balor and the Demon. [00:47:22] Speaker A: That's different, but that's different. [00:47:24] Speaker B: Really. To me, that was what. Because to me, that's what it was. It's like we. When he is doing the demon is like, that's something that's overtaking him. Like, that's a different. Like, that's like a different. It's like the Fiend, it's like, that's a different character. [00:47:39] Speaker A: The Fiend is. The Fiend is a good example. The demon, they tried to do that, but that's not what the demon was. The demon was just putting on his war paint. [00:47:51] Speaker B: Oh, okay. Well, yeah, the Fed, they sold me. That's all I watched was. Was him and the Fed. So, like, that's all I know. And I was like, that, to me, was the same thing. [00:48:02] Speaker A: Like, it looks cool, but it's. Yeah, it's It's. It's not. It's not just putting on body paint or face paint or wearing black clothes. It's like you are becoming a completely different character. So that's what Jericho is trying to do. But it's goofy. It's like when in Dragon Gate, there was. There was a. There's a wrestler called B.B. hulk, and he was like. He wore white and he was like a boy band pop star, right? [00:48:27] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:48:28] Speaker A: And he had a. He had a dark Hulk Persona, and just like. Sweetie, I don't buy this at all. No. [00:48:38] Speaker B: Well, Hulk Hogan did that for years. It's gonna be a new Hulk Hogan brother. And he'd come back and he'd be wearing black and. And like, like, like, we watched that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, Jesus Christ. [00:48:54] Speaker C: I mean, then he. Then he gets nwo. So. [00:48:58] Speaker B: Yeah, that's what eventually was. Yeah. [00:49:00] Speaker A: So, like, it's not even just like a different character. It's a completely different person is the thing. And Jericho is. I don't. I don't buy it with Jericho, and I don't care about pain makers. I'm sure that, like, I'm sure that match, they will do something completely insane and bleed buckets and. [00:49:19] Speaker B: Oh, I'm sure it's gonna be beautiful because Tommaso Ciampa is a good wrestler, [00:49:24] Speaker A: and I think it'll be why he was trained by. [00:49:29] Speaker B: You know what? When I give you this shot, I'm gonna make sure it hurts. That's all I got. [00:49:35] Speaker C: Her stick. Yeah, [00:49:38] Speaker A: that's fine. Listen, it's a jab. [00:49:41] Speaker B: Jab. [00:49:42] Speaker A: If. If Swerve can deal with it in his face, I can deal with it in my arm. [00:49:48] Speaker B: Oh, it's not going in your arm, honey. I'm gonna need Todd's knob. [00:49:59] Speaker A: No, I mean the thing I value. The thing I value least in life. [00:50:02] Speaker B: Yeah, [00:50:05] Speaker A: yeah. [00:50:06] Speaker B: Honestly, this will help. Yeah, [00:50:10] Speaker A: if you can find it. Anyway. Hey, Mama, Foley's baby boy is here. Mick Foley is in a Santa Claus shirt, and he's here to interview Willow and Tekla before their big match at Redemption. [00:50:25] Speaker B: My. My immediate thought was like, this is. This needs to get filthy, because these are. This is the two wrestlers that I know for sure love strippers the most. Like, if there's one thing I know about Tecla and there's one thing I know about Mick Foley. Love strippers. With Foley, I feel like it might be a special interest level, honestly. [00:50:55] Speaker A: So the Triangle of Madness won the Artists of Stardom Trios titles over the weekend. [00:51:01] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:51:04] Speaker A: Tekla is now Tecla2 belts. I really wish that people would come up with, like, a better name for having two belts as opposed to just like, name two belts. Yeah, whatever. And she's got, like, these long ass gloves that look like things from Breaking Bad when they're like moving chemicals of. [00:51:22] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:51:23] Speaker A: And it's just like, that's awesome. I was like, how do you make that look awesome? And a hot well done, because. [00:51:33] Speaker B: All right, I'm gonna do mine first and then you. You won't get scared. [00:51:38] Speaker C: You can't get me. I'm gonna go. Letter. [00:51:41] Speaker B: I'm gone. I'm gonna show you it's not so bad. [00:51:45] Speaker A: No, no, no. Into the drop ceiling like the cats here do. Whenever a contractor comes over [00:51:58] Speaker C: on the drywall, you can hear it. I'm in distress. [00:52:02] Speaker A: They're in the crawl space again. [00:52:07] Speaker C: Get the broom. [00:52:15] Speaker A: Willow comes out and says it's nice to see Tekla because she's not getting attacked from behind right now. And she talks about how she's ready to see her dream of getting the women's world title and technically gets to talk now. She says, great to have you back. I know you're made of sunshine, rainbows, birds chirping and sunshine. But Tecla isn't buying any of that smile anyway stuff. She thinks Willow's poisoned on the inside, and at redemption, she'll do her a favor and beat the toxic out of her. [00:52:46] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:52:47] Speaker A: The only difference between you and me is I've never had to pretend anything I'm not pretend to be anything I'm not. And then Willow says the only belt that matters is the world title, and Tekla is a shortcut to it. And Mick just is like, well, that's great. And he knows something about smiling through the pain, just with fewer teeth and a right. He's like, hey, Willow, you remind me of yourself. Me, myself. And it's like, that's the kiss death. She's losing now on Sunday. You remind me of me as soon as Mick is like, you remind me of me. Doomed. [00:53:27] Speaker C: The slow tear comes down the corner in the salute Is crying quietly. [00:53:34] Speaker A: F for Foley in the chat. [00:53:40] Speaker B: I think he'd be proud of me because I do, in fact, have a bleeder this week. Thanks. Thank you. Fantastic. [00:53:50] Speaker C: Like to see you try. [00:53:52] Speaker A: Yep. So Tecla says some more. And then Willow says, we don't. She won't stand for it. And he calls her a dumb. And they both have everything to lose on Sunday because they both want to go to all in as champion. Tecla says she Wins at Sunday. Willow's going to be beaten and broken and battered, and her clouds will be pissed on. Try to smile [00:54:16] Speaker C: one thing. [00:54:17] Speaker A: And she slaps Willow with her giant ass glove, which I marked out for. I was like, thank God you had those out there. [00:54:28] Speaker B: I know that they were for a purpose. Well, she's like, this is. This is gonna be insane. [00:54:33] Speaker A: That's a weapon. You can just wear a weapon to the ring if you're a lady. Yeah. She sucker punches Willow with a mic. Mick just kind of stands. Yeah. And then she's gonna whip Willow with the belt. But then Willow gets her with the pounce. And that was an awesome segment. I loved it. Yeah. I am invested in that match. [00:54:57] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:54:58] Speaker A: And apparently Willow got stitches in her ear, and Mick Foley watched while that happened. It was like, oh, well, I've seen worse. Nick is missing. [00:55:12] Speaker C: He doesn't have an ear. Yeah. Wow. You still have two. That's cool. [00:55:21] Speaker B: Yeah. Where are your ears? Uncle Mick? [00:55:23] Speaker A: Germany. Mick is at the end of robocopying. Like, don't worry. They can fix you. They always do. Oh, God. We get a video package for the TBS title match at Redemption. Sheeta is defending against Maya World. [00:55:43] Speaker C: Yes. [00:55:45] Speaker B: My world. Is that even the last name? [00:55:48] Speaker A: That's stupid. So there's gonna be a tag match on Collision, and Willow and Maya are going to team up against Tecla and. [00:55:56] Speaker C: Shit. [00:55:57] Speaker A: Shea. Yay. [00:56:01] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:56:02] Speaker A: A match happens. Jay White vs. Clark Connors by order of the Bang Bang Gang. I love the full entrance of the weird little guys because they are. Oh, God, they are. They are all weird little guys. [00:56:16] Speaker C: The music is so good. I always bop to it. [00:56:21] Speaker B: The best interest in their. They're at full power. Yeah, they're at full power. All of them has, like, their own weird little guy thing. [00:56:32] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:56:32] Speaker B: Like, Ace is doing the guns up, but he's got the Ace in there. Juice Robinson's a gremlin. Like, weird little gremlin dude. And I love him. The guns are the guns. [00:56:51] Speaker C: I think Colton really just leans on the groin chop a lot. [00:56:57] Speaker B: You really do. [00:56:58] Speaker A: I mean, last time. [00:57:00] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah, yeah. [00:57:01] Speaker B: Hey, this is my. This is my bloodline. Okay. This is my. Yeah, this is my birthright. [00:57:10] Speaker C: So dark that, like, their dad bought for the title tag team title belt, and now they fight for the tag team title belt. And if they have kids, they. Their boys will fight for the. I'm like, that's up. Actually, like, sorry. [00:57:27] Speaker A: It is wild to imagine that Billy Gunn is the one who's, like, created his own wrestling dynasty. One of the guns. One of the guns is gonna have a kid, and they're gonna be like Randy Orton. And then they're like, their Cowboy Bob is gonna be Billy Gunn. And people are gonna have to pretend like Billy Gunn was a big deal. At least Bob Orton was a big deal. Yeah, but still pretend that Billy Gunn is as good as Bob Gunn. Anyway. They kind of just play grabass a little bit. And then Jay goes for a Blade Runner and Clark runs away. Oh, yeah, he's wrestling. They say he's wrestling Clark Connors. Yeah, he's Jay White versus Clark Connors. [00:58:17] Speaker C: So Connors was channeling Ric Flair real bad, because when he walks around the ring, Rick would. Rick loves to do well when he's not injured. He just doesn't want to fight. So I'll just walk around the ring. Anyway, Sorry, continue. [00:58:32] Speaker A: Yeah, he just. Yeah, he just kind of powders a lot. They, like, Jay gets him in an arm bar and then gives him belly scritches and an ass pat because he's a. He's a dog. Yeah. [00:58:45] Speaker B: Yeah, it was really good. This match was full of little, like. Like, I missed Jay White. Can I say it? I want to say it, because, like I mentioned, this is his first. This is his first singles. [00:58:59] Speaker C: 15,000 days. It's insane. [00:59:01] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:59:01] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:59:01] Speaker B: Like, forever. Oh, God damn. [00:59:05] Speaker A: Give them the shot. If we're doing this, give them the shot. [00:59:09] Speaker B: All right. Yeah. No, it's your turn. It's your turn. [00:59:12] Speaker A: They're adding even more zeros. [00:59:13] Speaker B: E. Erica, Erica, Erica, can you hold them down? [00:59:17] Speaker A: I got the scruff. [00:59:19] Speaker B: Okay. [00:59:19] Speaker A: All right. [00:59:20] Speaker B: Okay. All right, you're good. Okay. It's only gonna burn a little bit. I'm sorry. I'm sorry about your friends, honey. [00:59:34] Speaker A: God damn. [00:59:37] Speaker B: The contagion. [00:59:46] Speaker C: Where you give an antibiotic to a possum wizard in a Lucha mask. [00:59:52] Speaker A: I just have to scrub a possum wizard? [00:59:55] Speaker C: Yeah, you. [00:59:56] Speaker A: Because you keep adding exponential numbers of zeros to numbers. What is the 1500? So you said 15,000. [01:00:08] Speaker B: It is for the weird who somehow have been listening to this for longer than 10 episodes for some reason, who know about this. This callback. And we love you. And I. I. Yeah. [01:00:21] Speaker C: So you add a zero, and it's just 15,000. [01:00:27] Speaker B: Not anymore. You're gonna get Starting. See, it's starting to fall. You're. You're working. [01:00:34] Speaker A: Yeah, I'll just go eat more cheese. It's fine. [01:00:38] Speaker B: No worries. All right, well, here, take yours, too, and. And then when we're done here, I'll get you an ice cream and we're gonna fumigate. Yeah, we'll go get an ice cream. And then while we're gone, Erica remembered with the tent. Okay. [01:00:51] Speaker C: All right. [01:00:53] Speaker B: The 10, the tent fumigating this. [01:00:57] Speaker A: Okay. [01:00:58] Speaker B: Yeah, we're killing them all dead. [01:00:59] Speaker A: Rocky making messages, a commentary is all like, hey, Excalibur, are you scared? He's like, no, Taz, I've got you to protect me. And. And then Ian wouldn't. Ian Riccabani wouldn't be scared because he has caprice to protect him. [01:01:16] Speaker B: Yeah. Which is true. [01:01:20] Speaker A: Crowd gets, like, very dead for a lot of importance of this match. Like, yeah, like, they need Clark Connors to spear Jay White as hard as possible for them to. To, like, pay attention. And he does several times because that's his thing. He just, like, hits people as hard as possible with shoulder tackles. He does one to Jay where Jay, like, bounces head first off of the ropes and just, like, flips around the high attention steel cable, as Taz likes to say. And, yeah, apparently I was getting sleepy during this portion of the show because I wrote I'm getting EP in my notes. [01:01:59] Speaker C: I didn't really get, like, small. This is Jay's White's first match back. We all know that he's gonna win. Like, I. What we talked out through, like, the entire match was just like, what is this telling? Where are the stakes in this? Like, it didn't really, like, the dogs have beef with everyone. So Jay White fighting with Connors makes sense on, like, a couple of levels because of the Bullet Club and so forth. But there's just. It wasn't really that feeling of tension there or like. [01:02:32] Speaker A: Yeah, I guess it. So, like, here's the thing. It's like this feud feels like it's more Jay versus Finley. [01:02:42] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:02:42] Speaker A: Because they have long beef, but, like, that's all in another company. And they keep talking about it, but I don't care. Right. Club doesn't exist anymore. So who gives a about who kicked who out of Bullet Club, like, five years ago? I guess. Three or four years ago. I don't know. Yeah, it was a fine match. It was fine. Like, yeah, it was fun. It didn't have, like, any real, like. Like you said Hampter. Didn't have steaks. It didn't have heat. Latino. [01:03:15] Speaker C: Yeah, no heat because there was a [01:03:17] Speaker A: bunch of white guys. [01:03:18] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:03:19] Speaker A: Yeah. It's a jet. Yeah. [01:03:21] Speaker C: New Zealand. A little New Zealand spice, I guess. [01:03:24] Speaker A: New Zealand spice. I don't know. What kind of spices do they have down there? I don't know. Good Ones anyway, like. Yeah, so Clark is just like shoulder tackling the. Out of. Out of Jay through the whole thing. And then like, eventually Jay White catches him with like this disgusting looking dragon screw because, you know, they're New Japan boys, so they got another dragon screws. And so he wants. It's like, oh, Jay's gonna make his comeback. Nope. He gets shoulder tackled to death again. He like goes up into the air this time. [01:04:02] Speaker C: If you've seen the picture of the dude dating here by the. By the buffalo. Right. [01:04:08] Speaker A: I feel bad for that dude. I mean, he got close, but like, he also looked like he was trying to protect the kid he was with. [01:04:18] Speaker B: More or less. Yeah, he got up. [01:04:21] Speaker C: Sure did. Sure did. [01:04:22] Speaker A: That suck. Don't get out of the car. You would not catch me with that close to. Yeah, especially when they're horny, apparently. Yeah. Jay comes back, he gets a big elbow. Uranagi only gets two and can't. He's like, he just can't get any offense. He's. He's trying to get the Blade Runner. He can't get it cutlered. Suplex only gets two. He still can't get the Blade Runner and he gets power slammed and now he's in trouble. [01:04:53] Speaker C: This is vaguely interesting because the first half of the match it was Jay dominated. So. [01:04:59] Speaker A: Yeah, sorry. So, like, so, like this plays into the finish, but like, they, they set up. They. They established Jay White is a counter wrestler, right. So, like, he can counter any move you throw at him. So when Clark Connors goes for the spear to try and finish it, Jay, like, manages to like, catch him in a guillotine and then he turns it over into like this bridging choke so that he's like that what? Connors is on his back and Jay's like flipped over him and he's choking him out and he has to tap it. Looks really, really good, but it seemed a little contrived to set up. Yeah, I don't know. Good job. I really don't buy the whole Jay White is a counter wrestler, but I guess he is if they say so. [01:05:48] Speaker C: Like, if you want. [01:05:50] Speaker B: I. I think that Jay White is a knife pervert and therefore he can do whatever he wants. Because I love him. [01:05:57] Speaker A: I mean, he can. I don't, I don't. I don't care what he does. I just. It's like what commentary says. It's like. What are you talking about? Counter wrestler. I guess he countered. He does the thing. Anyway, Clark tries to attack post match, but he gets Blade Runnered and Then Dave Finley comes out and hits Jay White. He gets the shillelagh back. That's right. Jay White stole the shillelagh and now Finley took it back. So that brings out the [01:06:25] Speaker C: snakes. [01:06:25] Speaker A: Yeah, Snakes Juice Robinson has a chain. Yeah. The dog's bail. And this feud will continue to whatever Al improves. We will find out later. To what end they. [01:06:41] Speaker C: They wheel Connors out in a. In a commentary chair. A wheelie chair. [01:06:49] Speaker A: Cope and Cage are gonna talk. They gotta. They have a match at Redemption against Claudio and Pac. And then like before they can actually say too much, Death Rider just show up and beat the out of them. And good job. Good call. Hold on. Well done. [01:07:05] Speaker C: Yeah. No, that was the right move. [01:07:07] Speaker A: That's a smart thing. Just beat him up. [01:07:08] Speaker C: Correct. [01:07:09] Speaker A: So they him up a bunch. And then Pac's like, I cannot believe you have the audacity to challenge the likes of us for your tag titles. It's like, you're like, you're not gonna cake walk over us. And he calls him like he. He's like, you're not gonna walk over us. Quote unquote, legends. And they'll remind you exactly who we are. I liked it. Yeah. [01:07:31] Speaker C: Yeah. Oh, God, yeah. I really want them to just absolutely crush the ever loving out of. [01:07:38] Speaker A: It would be funny. [01:07:43] Speaker B: Be real. [01:07:43] Speaker A: It would be so funny if they. If they beat him and then everybody's like, I guess we're not getting Young Bucks versus Cajun [01:07:55] Speaker B: and nothing of value was. [01:08:01] Speaker A: Okay, cool. Nudie Q match for the AEW women's tag team titles. [01:08:08] Speaker B: That's so good. [01:08:11] Speaker A: Divine Dominion versus Sisters of Sin. [01:08:14] Speaker B: Oh, you violent little thing. I am in love with Sky Blue and I don't care who knows it. [01:08:21] Speaker A: So, yeah, we're all expecting sky to blade like a. For this. Divine Dominion has hockey sweaters on. Sure, why not? I like them. I like hockey sweaters. [01:08:34] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:08:37] Speaker A: America's just here for a fight. See if the. The sisters attack right away. Kendo sticks. And they. They dump the bigger team out of the ring. And then they go out and they go looking for some plunder. And they get a table. That is. [01:08:50] Speaker B: They are plundering. Yeah. Hardware [01:08:58] Speaker A: at the Home Depot. [01:09:01] Speaker C: Deeper. [01:09:02] Speaker A: Well, I like to shop at Lowe's. I don't know who that was supposed to be. [01:09:09] Speaker B: When I do a death match Hardware. [01:09:19] Speaker A: Taz would shop at Home Depot because they're orange. Or maybe he wouldn't because they're orange. [01:09:23] Speaker B: Yeah. That's gimmick infringement, brother. [01:09:26] Speaker A: Right. So. Yeah. Yeah, for sure. [01:09:32] Speaker C: Letter I've written you about this matter. [01:09:38] Speaker A: I am not a crackpot. [01:09:41] Speaker B: P.P.S. [01:09:43] Speaker A: i'm. [01:09:43] Speaker B: I'm gonna kill you with my hands. My grip. [01:09:47] Speaker A: I've never been happy, and you've stolen my color. [01:09:53] Speaker B: Send Hook. [01:09:56] Speaker A: Sends a hook to the Home Depot and they just beat the. Out of him. [01:10:06] Speaker C: Depot and, like, store 805. [01:10:11] Speaker B: Like high school kids in uniform just. Just stopping his ass. [01:10:19] Speaker A: I love you, Hook. I love you pretty. [01:10:23] Speaker B: You're so pretty. Stop talking and I'd love you so much more. [01:10:29] Speaker A: Oh, God, this show. [01:10:33] Speaker B: Jesus. [01:10:33] Speaker A: They do this nice bit where Julia puts Lena Cross in the. In the tarantula. And then just like, she goes back and forth with the kendo sticks back in Bane Cross is very good. [01:10:51] Speaker B: That might be one of the best. The best uses of. Of the tarantula, like, I think I've ever seen. Like, everybody. That was really well done. [01:11:02] Speaker A: Yeah. So then Julia gets a spike, and she's gonna stab somebody in the face with it, but she actually scat. Accidentally stabs Sky Blue, and now she's bleeding. She didn't get a gusher, but she was bleeding. [01:11:17] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:11:17] Speaker A: Good for her. [01:11:18] Speaker C: You know, she wanted it. I'm glad that she got it. [01:11:21] Speaker B: Tony said, don't do the whole Crimson Mask. You can't go full muda every time. Or lose. [01:11:28] Speaker A: Yeah, they stopped her right there, like. All right, [01:11:33] Speaker C: we agreed on a one or a two. [01:11:37] Speaker B: One or a two on the Moody scale. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. [01:11:41] Speaker C: I did watch that match, by the way, you know. Yeah, it absolutely slapped. [01:11:45] Speaker A: Oh, actually, after we finish, I'll ask you if you watch the other cool match that everybody's talking about this week. God, what happened next? All right, so, yeah, now they're just. The Divine Dominion takeover. And they're, like, throwing chairs and suplexes, and it's cool. They get slammed on the ramp, and then the Divine Dominion brings out a table, which everybody gets excited for. [01:12:06] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:12:07] Speaker A: Something about commentary is rambling about how are you going to jump off the top rope with the table? You'd have to be Paul White size, like. And that just makes them bo. Everybody just crack up laughing for no reason. So they're gonna. [01:12:24] Speaker C: Paul White has been mentioned more in this broadcast than. [01:12:28] Speaker A: Right. [01:12:28] Speaker C: The last 10 years. God, not 10 years, because it's not been 10 years. But not yet. [01:12:35] Speaker A: Not yet. He's been there a while, though, I think about it. Yes. So they. They're gonna. Bane is gonna suplex somebody through a table. I guess it's Sky. And then Julia saves her, and then they both double suplex Bane through the table. And that's cool. [01:12:56] Speaker C: Yes. [01:12:57] Speaker A: Well done. So they got, they, they have lead across isolate and they just like kick the out of her for a little bit. And she manages to hold out until Bane comes back and just starts throwing them around like. This is a very cool little hardcore match. Yeah, they grab their, so the sisters grab their artist's stardom belts in the Dominion, get their, their women's tag belts, and they both miss, they both try for Suplexes. And then the sisters get a DDT for two. Lena Cross goes up sky blue escapes and gets cheeky Nandos. And she's gonna follow up with something through a table that' outside. But Bane just choke slams it through it. [01:13:38] Speaker B: Holy. [01:13:39] Speaker A: Is a holy moment. Yeah, Crab. [01:13:42] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:13:42] Speaker A: Yep. They, Julia gets Lena Cross and the Manji got the M. Lena Cross can't do for a second, but then Bane just powers out tombstones. Her Cross comes back in, double choke slam. That's it. Divine Dominion retain. [01:14:01] Speaker B: Oh, my God. [01:14:02] Speaker A: No. [01:14:02] Speaker B: When she powered out of it and then got her into the spinning tombstone, I was just like, [01:14:09] Speaker A: great stuff, great stuff. [01:14:12] Speaker C: I really, There was a really great moment with Julia Hart getting Megan Bane in that hole in the hold. Well, Megan was just squatting in the center of the ring and it was, it's great that. [01:14:26] Speaker B: No, the, the whole setup, that whole sequence, the whole setup when she got her into. I forget what the Japanese it is for it. [01:14:33] Speaker A: Well, they said, they said Manji gatame, but I don't think it's the Manji gatame. I think it was a flying octopus hold. [01:14:39] Speaker B: Yeah, it looked like a flying octopus. Yeah. Holy. Like that was. [01:14:45] Speaker A: I don't know why they called it the Manji, but I, I'm just, I'm [01:14:49] Speaker B: just so happy that Julia Hart still kicks so much ass and like that, because I feel like a lot of people, I feel like every couple months I'll see something on the Internet where people are just like, yeah, Julie Hart's like, whatever. I'm like, you need to, need to, to get like, Julia Hart is amazing. Like, I love Julia Hart. [01:15:09] Speaker C: The Divine Dominion has had the, I mean, I think they're an ex. I think Sisters of Sin are an excellent tag or tag team. I, it's kind of a bummer that the Divine Dominion has a stranglehold on the, the titles because I think they're title worthy. [01:15:26] Speaker B: I think they're title worthy too. I, I, I also think that I, yeah, I, I like that. I, I like that they have this stranglehold, but they're getting away from the, like, tag team of Goldbergs squashing people in under five minutes. You know what I mean? Well, they're getting away recently. [01:15:49] Speaker C: Remember, they would have the five minute challenge. [01:15:51] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, that's what I'm saying. Like, they're getting away from that and now they're getting more towards, like, they've had a couple fights now where it's like, okay, that was a fight like that. Like, you know, and I don't think it hurts them at all. And I. I like, the longer. I like that they're so. Lack of a better word, dominating. They're the way, like, I. I love it. I really do. Because I think it's when they lose it that it's gonna give so much shine to them belts. Because I feel like those belts just didn't have the greatest debut. I feel like it. Just because of, like. Like, it was good and then, like, Willow and Harley had a great run with it. But, like, I feel like that. That first. The. The. The. I feel like it was. That would like, they, they. They gave. They're like, hey, we're doing women's tag belts. And then they started. Like, that's when they started, in my opinion. Like, the. The women's division started to get booked weird. You know what I mean? It was around there that things started to kind of backslide a little bit. And it didn't get really bad until Tony left because they, like. Like, I feel like when Tony was there, you could. You could justify it with the numbers. Be like, this chick is over. We have to put her on as much as possible. [01:17:15] Speaker A: Like, well, yeah, like, Tony. Tony just being in a feud made important. [01:17:21] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, exactly. [01:17:23] Speaker A: I think. And that. That was like, part of the reason why. I'm pretty sure that, like, Tony was in the tournament to begin with, the tag team tournament. But, like, the big thing to me is that the reason the tag team division floundered was because they had all these tag teams put together to do this tournament. Some of them were new, some of them had been established, and then they just. Everybody vanished. [01:17:49] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:17:51] Speaker A: Some of that was injuries. Some of that was just like, we're not doing this. Yeah. Whatever reason. And then, like, clear. Like, it seems very clear that they're setting up to do the Brawling Birds to challenge at Wembley. [01:18:06] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:18:07] Speaker A: So that then meant they both had to go away and not do stuff for like a month and a half. So then they lost all their momentum and now they're back being like, we're extremely British. [01:18:24] Speaker B: Okay. Yeah, come get up. [01:18:26] Speaker A: Which is fine. Like, they're a great tag team. I love them as a tag team. They're awesome. [01:18:32] Speaker B: Yeah. But the, the. I gotta again agree with our, our, our Guamos across the pond. It's a little weird. It's a little. It's a bit heavy handed. It's a bit heavy handed. [01:18:44] Speaker A: I don't think anybody buying a ticket to see them at Wembley is going to be like, oh, are they British? [01:18:53] Speaker C: How well does that sell over there? [01:18:55] Speaker A: I. I presume, I presume that people buying tickets watch the product or at least are aware of. [01:19:01] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. [01:19:03] Speaker A: There's like two British women in a match in a tag team are birds. They're birds. They're brawl. They're brawling birds. [01:19:12] Speaker C: They fight. [01:19:13] Speaker A: I, I don't know. I like them. I, I think it would have been better if there was like an actual tag team division and they could have feuded with somebody to set up for the fact they're going to challenge for the belts. And probably what's just going to end up happening is they're going to get into a number one contenders title match win, and that'll be the build with Anthony and that'll be fine. But also whatever. Go to the back. Bang Bang Gang is here. And they are pissed off about what happened to Jay. [01:19:48] Speaker C: Yep. [01:19:48] Speaker A: And Juice challenges the dogs to a double chain tag match. The dogs? [01:19:56] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:19:59] Speaker A: And Jay says they're gonna give them the beating that their father should have given them. [01:20:04] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:20:07] Speaker A: I don't, I don't know if they said. They said chain match. I don't know if this means like they're gonna do like chains on the wrist or if they're gonna do dog collar. [01:20:16] Speaker B: I think, I think. I feel like they should do dog collar because dogs. But also they're the dogs. [01:20:23] Speaker A: This whole feud is right. [01:20:26] Speaker B: Yeah. But also aw does a lot of dog collar and I feel like it's tied to certain people that it. [01:20:33] Speaker A: Like when was the last time they did a dog collar match? [01:20:39] Speaker B: You [01:20:41] Speaker A: was. Was the dog collar match the only one they've done? [01:20:46] Speaker B: No. No. Well, because the FTR and them boys was roa. [01:20:52] Speaker A: Was before and it was before that other one. [01:20:55] Speaker B: Yeah. All right. [01:20:57] Speaker A: They haven't done a long time. [01:20:59] Speaker B: I. You know what? When I'm wrong, you're wrong. [01:21:02] Speaker A: You. Anyway, it's gonna be good because I'm the Heenan tonight. [01:21:09] Speaker B: This, this week, folks. I think I'm the Heenan. [01:21:12] Speaker A: You're the Heenan who's wrong? I'm the Heenan. Who's right? [01:21:18] Speaker B: Will you. [01:21:20] Speaker A: That's right. [01:21:21] Speaker B: We're all YouTube. [01:21:23] Speaker A: It's just gonna be interesting because, like, I don't know that I like. I like Jay and Finn. Not Jay and Finn. J and Jay. And Jay and Juice are good together. And then Connor, like, I like the dogs. They're fine. [01:21:39] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:21:40] Speaker A: What's his name? Juice has history with Dave Finley because they used to be a tag team. They used to be buddies. Juice. Juice turned on Finley in New Japan to join the Bullet club. They were fit. They were called Fin Juice, if you want to know how original their tag team name was. [01:21:59] Speaker C: Okay. Fin Juice. Wow. Wow. Good. Okay. Name me. Think it's hard. Good stuff. [01:22:11] Speaker A: Okay. [01:22:12] Speaker C: He's like, wait, I don't have to be Fin Juice anymore, and I get to hang out. Bang bang. [01:22:18] Speaker B: Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Hold on. You're telling me the guy who. Who was. They were like, hey, you need to come up with a name for yourself. And was like, cool. I'm rock hard. He couldn't come up with something better than Fin Juice? All right, I'm blown away. [01:22:39] Speaker A: Who came up with Juice Robinson? I don't know. Who came up with the rock hard part? It's bricked up. Juice Robinson. [01:22:53] Speaker C: Buttressed. Juice robinson. [01:22:56] Speaker A: Buttress. Juice robinson. Flying buttress. Juice robinson. [01:23:07] Speaker B: It's the pleats Robinson. That is a very specific. There's like four, maybe four girls that laughed at home and I love you. [01:23:20] Speaker A: Are they actually listening? [01:23:22] Speaker B: No, probably not. [01:23:25] Speaker A: They know who they should tell them. There's gonna be a reference there at the end of this one that you go. [01:23:31] Speaker B: There's a real. There's a real old. Curb your enthusiasm in there. Why you, like, go for it. [01:23:40] Speaker A: Oh, my God. All right, main event. Here we go. [01:23:46] Speaker B: Here we go. Here we go. [01:23:47] Speaker A: Match on side. Kenny Omega, Will Osprey and John Moxley. On the other side, don cow's family, het0. Brian Cage and Jake Doyle. They are, like. Commentary is, like, doing a hard sell that Kevin Knight might actually win Sunday. Not buying it. [01:24:04] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:24:07] Speaker A: I like seeing Hatchy, Sarah and Will spray wrestle each other. They have a very good show there. Hatchy's arrow is good. Tie up the little. The. The cheeky slag into knots, please. Thank you. Good night. [01:24:23] Speaker C: Keep him there. [01:24:25] Speaker A: So, yeah, the faces are doing, like, quick tags in and out. And it's kind of interesting because, like, Kenny will tag. Will. Will tag Mox. Moxel Tag Will. And, like, Kenny and Mox, like, won't work. Like, they won't actually touch or interact because they don't like each other. Whatever. Whatever. Death Rider is happening. The history of Kenny Omega and Jon Moxley is like, violent and storied and they had a exploding cage match that. Not a cage, it's just exploding barbed wire match that. It didn't explode. But they hate each other. It's great saying, like, eventually. So, like, eventually they get to a point where Kenny does tag. Max. Max, yeah. Mocks. And the crowd pops big for it. But eventually, yeah, the heels take advantage of Mox and they. They do some stuff and they do it. Max manages a baby face suicide and he's like. Teases him a little bit and it's. [01:25:29] Speaker C: It's just. [01:25:30] Speaker A: It's like, I don't like. It's. It's like kind of like exactly what you expect the match to be like. They get like, how to describe this? Mox and Osprey, like, the last two weeks before this have had tag matches that were squash matches. Right. And they let the other side get those. Get their offensive. This was kind of like that only. And with Hetchy Sero on the other side [01:25:59] Speaker C: and also Etchy Sarah and Kenny. [01:26:02] Speaker A: Kenny Omega. Yeah. So, like, it's just like, they just. They just added some extra people this week and it's longer. So, like, the. The Don Callis family doesn't really. Like, there's not really a point where he's like, they're going to beat them. It's like, nope, nope, There's. But like, it's. It's. It's cool. Like, they do. Yes, they do spots like Osprey gets a corkscrew kick. And then there's like a weird moment where he's like, I don't know who to hot tag, which he doesn't know which of his two dads to. To whose hand to take. And he chooses Kenny. [01:26:35] Speaker C: He does. [01:26:36] Speaker A: I feel like that was the choice. [01:26:39] Speaker C: Yeah. So you know when you're like, I think Dead before dawn is the. Where you have to make relationships with characters and your choices of how you interact with them matter. And Will's been really dumping all of his time and attention into Mox and is like, all right, I don't want to this relationship chain up, so I'm gonna pick him this time. Like, and. But everybody's like, it's. Anyway. [01:27:07] Speaker A: Yeah. I mean, in case some people haven't played that, and I know some people have played Baldur's Gate, it's literally like. It's like you'd make a decision and I'll be like Shadowheart like that. Gail. Like that myself. Hated that. So, like, so Will tags Will tags Kenny and just like his relationship with each of the Death Rider just drops a little bit because like they didn't like that. They didn't like that. Ballers Gate 3. We worked it in. This is just the weirdest episode ever. [01:27:50] Speaker B: This is definitely up there. The ever. We are walking over the place. Jesus is. [01:27:56] Speaker C: I'm really glad this road is empty and there's no one else on it. [01:27:59] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:28:02] Speaker C: Because we're just kind of. [01:28:04] Speaker B: Our mind road. Yeah, our mind road. [01:28:07] Speaker A: A mind road. They do. They do the. They. They eventually they. They do. What is it, Kenny? They. They do the Death rider train and they get let. [01:28:22] Speaker C: Oh yeah. [01:28:27] Speaker B: Yeah. When the riders run a train on their enemy. Yeah. There's no tension in this room. [01:28:36] Speaker A: In this room at all. It seems like I kind of like [01:28:40] Speaker B: the temperature in here, guys. [01:28:43] Speaker A: It seems like they're like getting along, right? They're all getting to get getting along and they're. They box is gonna hit a. A dragon on somebody and it gets hit by Kenny with a misfired V trigger. [01:28:56] Speaker B: Oops. They'll have that. [01:29:00] Speaker A: Oh yeah, that'll happen. [01:29:02] Speaker B: Yeah. You start throwing them V triggers the second time tonight. [01:29:05] Speaker C: There's some. Maybe there's just something in the ring. [01:29:08] Speaker A: Yeah, maybe, maybe, maybe the temperature's off. I don't know [01:29:15] Speaker C: who with the temperature in here. [01:29:19] Speaker A: John Moxley. Dad mode. Who touched the thermostat? [01:29:26] Speaker B: All legs of temperature in here. Who touched them? Looking at you, Knoblins. [01:29:33] Speaker A: The noblins. Yeah. So then the doghouse. They just beat up on Kenny for a little bit and they're triple teaming them with like this big nasty elbow. Osprey saves them and they're gonna set up something nasty. But Mox knocks him off a V trigger hidden blade. Take out Doyle and Cage and then Hechiser eats a V trigger hidden blade combo and they win. [01:30:00] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:30:01] Speaker A: Omega Osprey, Moxley win. Why does. [01:30:04] Speaker C: Why does Etchy Saro need to eat this pin? Dude, Bright especially. [01:30:10] Speaker A: Especially. They just showed him come out with the CMLL Heavyweight championship. And I know that's not. I know that's not the most important title in that company. [01:30:22] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:30:23] Speaker A: But Aw makes it out to be a big deal. They beat him. [01:30:29] Speaker B: Let me tell you though, Hampter, as someone who is is making dinner in the back right now. That is like some brown rice and grilled chicken and veggies. And I have lost £10. And it's great. It's wonderful how. However. However you have to keep eating to grow them hetcha titties and that's what they don't tell you the estrogen helps, but you have to eat, girl. You have to feed your body to get them. Hetchativies growing and hetroceros. Eat pins to get them. [01:31:09] Speaker A: I was wondering where the this was going. [01:31:13] Speaker B: Thank you so much. [01:31:17] Speaker A: Long. [01:31:18] Speaker B: I don't care how long it takes to get there. [01:31:20] Speaker A: No. I just wonder where the that was going. [01:31:23] Speaker B: Enjoy the ride and just lay back and enjoy the ride. It swerves a little, but. Yeah, like wet the engine. Lol. [01:31:33] Speaker C: Hold on, I have something to show you. And then takes us 10 miles down a dirt road, and we come across across, like, this really weird, esoteric cement sculpture garden that some rando in Wisconsin made with bottles. [01:31:51] Speaker B: Yeah, Grotto. Yeah. [01:31:53] Speaker A: No, I think where she took us was just like, hey, check out that cool mirror. Or check out that weird rock. No, no, that kind of looks like a dog or something. [01:32:04] Speaker B: All my love to Madison right now. If you've ever been around or all if you've been around that area in Wisconsin, go to the Forever Tron. Okay? That rules. That's where I took us to get to that hetcha titties joke. All right. He eats pins to grow titties. All right, that's it. I'm doing mine with avocado and a lot of grilled chicken and butter. [01:32:30] Speaker A: The answer's butter. I don't know. I'm just, like, doing stuff and they're there. Yeah, I'm just fat. What can I say? [01:32:45] Speaker B: You gotta over think about it. I'm making. This is called a goof. This is a joke. It's a bit. [01:32:52] Speaker C: Oh, no. What? That is. [01:32:55] Speaker A: No, no. [01:32:56] Speaker B: That explains a lot of the show, actually. [01:33:00] Speaker A: It's all a bit. [01:33:02] Speaker B: Wait, what's a bit? We're supposed to be doing this. [01:33:05] Speaker A: This is a bit. [01:33:05] Speaker B: This. This is a bit. My spiders are coming in now. That's a thro. [01:33:10] Speaker A: Spiders are coming. It's dark matter and yearning. [01:33:16] Speaker B: Matter and yearning. That's what it was. Yeah. Jesus Christ. This is all callbacks. Yeah. Let's go. Let's get the out of here. Jesus [01:33:27] Speaker A: Mox ate the V trigger. And he takes that personally. So, like, they're. They're back and forth, and Omega shoves Will down, and the young bucks come out to be like, hey, calm down. And there's a bunch of miscommunication and Roppongi Vice comes out, and Kenny's gonna hit them with a V trigger. And then just. He's running in and just like from off camera, Kevin Knight just launches himself over the ropes. And clocks Kenny with the TNT belt. [01:33:56] Speaker B: It was wild. It was really cool because he just [01:34:01] Speaker A: comes from off screen. It's. [01:34:03] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:34:03] Speaker A: So cool. So the. The show goes off the air with Kevin posing with the two belts and Kenny's sitting in front of him. There's like face bleeding. Very cool visual. That match will be very good at redemption, but I don't think he's gonna [01:34:21] Speaker C: wins and poor portends. Oh, God. No, I don't. [01:34:25] Speaker B: Oh, there's. [01:34:26] Speaker A: There's. [01:34:27] Speaker B: There's a pay per view this weekend. [01:34:30] Speaker C: Sure is. Friends. [01:34:33] Speaker B: God, I'm trying to. Yeah, no, I'm looking. I'm looking around and I can't. I can't seem to find a To give and. And you know, it's really weird because it's an aw pay per view. You think I would be overflowing with to give about this. But like I kind of just. I'm out. I'm clean. [01:34:54] Speaker A: I. They. This was my understanding is this entire show was created to do Omega versus MJF3. MJF is hurt, so they couldn't do it. [01:35:08] Speaker B: Oh, okay. [01:35:10] Speaker A: Well, that's why they had to do the title change on tv. That's why there's no redemption on Redemption. But that's why the main event should be Willow and Tecla. [01:35:23] Speaker B: Thank you. Thank you. [01:35:26] Speaker A: Yeah, that's a world title match. [01:35:28] Speaker B: That's world title match and we can get some redemption out of that. Hey, unless you. Unless you're planning for some weird reason to have tackle go over [01:35:40] Speaker C: verse Beast Mortos vs Commander vs Speedball vs Nick Wayne vs El Clone. It's a six way ladder match to determine the number one contender for the AEW International Championship. [01:35:54] Speaker B: That. This is the first I'm hearing about it. And is that on the. Is. Is that the card proper? That sounds like a. That sounds like a. For zero hour. It sounds like a buy in. [01:36:09] Speaker A: If that's on zero hour, I will My pants. [01:36:12] Speaker C: Oh, Wiki. I'm just on the wiki right now, so. [01:36:15] Speaker B: Oh. But it doesn't sound like a zero hour, but you know what I mean? It sounds like a thrown together thing that I hadn't. Like. Like. Okay. [01:36:23] Speaker A: Yeah. Like this. This whole show feels like they have something specific in mind and it fell apart. [01:36:29] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:36:31] Speaker A: We have to book a pay per view. [01:36:32] Speaker B: I didn't realize that, but that really tracks the. See, I. I love that at least one of us pays attention because I. To me, this is just. I'm doing this purely fan cast. [01:36:42] Speaker A: All right. [01:36:43] Speaker B: I don't know. This is my Heart. I'm just all coming from the heart. [01:36:47] Speaker A: Granted, granted, the. The theory about MJF and Omega being at redemption is basically just a theory, but, like, it's the only thing that actually makes sense. [01:36:57] Speaker B: It's where I thought it was going. Like. Like. Yeah, it really. That's. That made the most sense to me. I don't. Because I don't understand why. And like, just any of this just is. I don't know. [01:37:11] Speaker A: It's like, I'm gonna watch it. [01:37:12] Speaker B: I'm gonna watch it probably. [01:37:14] Speaker A: Well, I'm not gonna pay for. I mean, I don't. I'm not gonna pay for it. I don't know. [01:37:21] Speaker B: Maybe ring bell that. I don't know. [01:37:22] Speaker A: I will watch with a friend. [01:37:24] Speaker C: You're editing. [01:37:26] Speaker B: No, I asked Piper to do it this way. [01:37:28] Speaker C: Oh, okay. [01:37:30] Speaker B: Long story short, but I edit too many podcasts that. And not enough that pay me. So I had to re. Adjust the editing schedule so that it wasn't insane in case I luck out and get a fucking job. Yeah, that's. Yeah, that's how that happened. [01:37:50] Speaker A: That's fair. [01:37:51] Speaker B: We're doing the show on the show, folks. Hey, we're. Wait. We're making excellent time. We could probably. [01:37:56] Speaker A: Well, the show's. The episode. The dynamite is over. [01:37:59] Speaker B: I know. That's nice. And I mean, I feel like what we. We killed like a. Almost a half hour that we normally are is filled with. So. [01:38:09] Speaker A: Yeah, we started. We started late. [01:38:11] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:38:13] Speaker A: Littered with. But it. [01:38:15] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah. [01:38:17] Speaker A: Did anybody else watch the Samoa Joe Necro Butcher Dark side of the Road? [01:38:21] Speaker B: Not yet. It's what I'm doing with dinner when I'm done with this. [01:38:25] Speaker A: Okay. Has anybody. Anybody other than me seen Necro Joe vs Necro? [01:38:30] Speaker B: No, I've never seen Joe vs Necro [01:38:33] Speaker A: watch it before you watch the episode. [01:38:35] Speaker B: All right, maybe we should do it. Maybe we should do a Patreon. Maybe we should get together, do a quick talk about it. But we should watch the episode hampter and then. Or watch the match and watch the episode after this. And then sometime in. I don't know, sometime in the next week, we'll. We'll talk about it again. We're doing the show on the show. [01:38:55] Speaker A: This is. This is just like. This is seriously, like, it's been a while since I watched Dark side of the Ring, but like, this was like one. I was like, I absolutely need to see this one because I never thought there was much of a story behind it. And then like, the actual story is pretty cool. [01:39:12] Speaker B: Oh, wow. [01:39:13] Speaker A: It's Very weird. It's very. It's very. It's very much like this is the match that the Internet booked. [01:39:20] Speaker B: Fascinating. Okay. All right. [01:39:22] Speaker A: Is a carney. [01:39:24] Speaker B: Jesus Christ. Yeah. [01:39:25] Speaker C: Oh, I love it. Yeah, they always are. They always are. [01:39:29] Speaker A: They all are parties.
