Hip-Tossed Salad and Scrambled Eggs

[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: And welcome back to Wednesday Night Fake Fights, where we talk all things aew. This week we are coming to you from the Mile High City, John Denver, Colorado. Once again, we're not actually going from there. We're all in different parts of the country. But this week's AE Dynamite took place there. And we got a big one started off. We're gonna get our introductions rolling. Once again, you all know me. It's your boy. It's Jeff the Token Mongoose. And I'm here with all my favorite people. Well, not all. Some are not, but two of my favorite people. Why don't you say who he is? [00:01:31] Speaker C: Yeah, it's. It's a meme. It's Ella Taylor. This. Yeah, the. If there's flickering in the studio, I'm sorry, the bills are coming due and I just do not have it. [00:01:45] Speaker B: But that was the ghost of George C. Scott. [00:01:48] Speaker C: No, no, that's the ectoplasm smeared on the wall. At least. God, I hope. God, I hope. Yeah, no, it's been a rough. [00:01:58] Speaker B: The C stands for come. [00:02:00] Speaker C: Yeah, exactly. As we all know, February is a short month, which means that March 1st is coming up fast and that. That leads to the March sadness. So, yeah, it's rough. Uh, find your girl. Uh, Tip jar on the blue sky. Normally, I'm not this blatant about it, but it's actually that bad. This. I. I can't help but think it might be a little bit of the fact that my hours got cut because business is down, because no one's ordering food on account of no one has money because they're all paying their neighbors rent because of the federal occupation. It's all kind of. It's all coming due. So, yeah, look, I brought it down. Woo. Look at me. Brought it all down. That's what I did last. Yeah, last week I turned heel. Now I'm like Sour Puss Jones over here. So there. Take that. I'm here, queer. Promise nothing. Yo soy Hampton Cero. Let's go. Come on, hit the music. Piper, hit the Music. [00:03:15] Speaker B: I thought the music got us taken off YouTube. [00:03:18] Speaker A: Hit hit. [00:03:19] Speaker C: Less than 7 seconds of the music. [00:03:22] Speaker A: Editor Piper here. I have no clue what music that they want. It used to be Ultimate Hampter and we used the Ultimate Warrior music and we got copyright stricken and now it's Hampter Sero and I can't even tell you what deheticero's theme is. I could go find it, but we'll probably get copyright. What fucking music do you want? We didn't talk about this. Anyways, here's. I don't know. Fucking Creed. Mario, paint. [00:04:01] Speaker D: The possum. Possum shuffles up. Carefully, gently, tenderly, arms around Ella, leading her to the. To the commentary table. [00:04:20] Speaker C: Yeah, we got this. We got this. [00:04:22] Speaker A: Thank you. [00:04:23] Speaker B: I think we have enough people that, like, know how to make music that we could do. Like a royalty free cover of ultimate warriors music. [00:04:31] Speaker C: Well, no, now it's got to be Hampter Seros. The Warriors. [00:04:34] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, yeah, I know this warrior Hechicero does have a cool fucking. [00:04:44] Speaker C: Oh, yeah. Hechicero's theme music is. Is a banger and a half. [00:04:49] Speaker B: God. [00:04:50] Speaker A: Editor Piper, again, I admittedly did not listen further into the episode before recording that last bit. So I do want to apologize to my co hosts for my outburst. I, however, will not be apologizing for the Creed Mario, paint. [00:05:19] Speaker C: Oh, I should. You know who I should talk to? I'm pretty sure not to put them on blast. I'm pretty sure Chatter Machine theme music is a distinctish differential. Hechicero. Ish. Deal. [00:05:34] Speaker B: Ish. Monet. [00:05:41] Speaker C: Yeah, ours is technically Mercedes Monet. And the Monday night shows was absolutely. No, I'll admit it now because it's dead. Literally. Billy Gunn's Mr. Ass theme just brought down. Brought down half a pitch and then slowed down just a little, little bit. That's all I did. [00:06:03] Speaker B: I like the idea of like, he would have. Like, Billy Gunn would have heard this and if the show was still going, he would have put a stop. [00:06:11] Speaker C: Yeah, [00:06:14] Speaker B: we dodged a bullet there. [00:06:16] Speaker C: But yeah, that was absolutely just. [00:06:19] Speaker B: Yeah, no, now that you say it. [00:06:20] Speaker C: Yeah, no, that was. That was. [00:06:22] Speaker B: It sounded cool, though. [00:06:23] Speaker C: I liked it. Well, look, I'm an ass girl. Yeah. I'm an ass girl. I know what I'm about. Yeah. And it's Billy Gunn and asses and not. And not paying for fucking music because they're a bunch of carny assholes who didn't do it anyways. Anyways. Yeah. No, if you think I have a problem, just look up self. High five. And then tell me I'm wrong. Yeah. [00:06:49] Speaker D: If you. And this dates myself. But this reminds me of the interview that vanilla I gave VH1 or MTV or some about him ripping off David Bowie's Under Pressure. He's like, it's got that there, and [00:07:10] Speaker B: that's a single high hat at the end. [00:07:12] Speaker D: Yeah. That makes it legally distinct. [00:07:18] Speaker B: I didn't think that that interview, I think, killed his career, like, more than any. Like, if he had just said, like, hey, I really love that song. Yeah. I sampled it. Everyone's sampling music right now. Like, sorry, I could. I'll give them money if they really are upset. But it's just. They know. He's like, no. This is a unique, creative idea that I had. [00:07:37] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:07:37] Speaker B: Kissing David. Or that up Queen and David Bowie ripped me off, if anything. [00:07:42] Speaker D: Oh, my God. Yeah. You don't go up against not. You don't go up against gods when you're. When you're a peon like that. [00:07:50] Speaker B: Under pressure rips, too. [00:07:51] Speaker C: What were you thinking? What were you thinking? You know, you got. You got them doing the ricochet bit. Coming, Mr. Van Winkle. Mr. Van Winkle. What were you thinking when you tried to say that you wrote Under Pressure? What were you thinking? Are just him getting crucified. [00:08:06] Speaker B: The Blood Brothers did a awesome cover of that song. [00:08:10] Speaker C: Sh. Knight just. Yeah, yeah, exactly. [00:08:12] Speaker D: Kicked out a window. [00:08:13] Speaker B: Suge Knight throw you through a table. [00:08:15] Speaker C: See, now we're showing. We're showing our age because we know [00:08:18] Speaker D: truly, like, oh, talk about. Oh, my God. [00:08:22] Speaker C: Talk about that time. The Sug Night. Helping the lights out of window. Honestly, on the rest on the Queer Wrestling podcast. [00:08:30] Speaker B: I mean, that I learned from VH1. They used to talk about that on, like, I love that music. [00:08:37] Speaker D: Yeah, well, they had the. Behind the decade. [00:08:41] Speaker B: Behind the music is distinctly responsible for my music taste because I watched the Green Day behind the Music episode. Angelo Biafra was interviewed on it, and he was like, oh, yeah, punk. It's just. We're all really weird, like, outcast people. I'm like, oh, I'm a weird outcast person. I looked up De Kenny. I was like, oh, this is what I'm supposed to listen to. [00:09:04] Speaker D: Legally required to listen to. [00:09:06] Speaker B: I get like, he's like a smart, funny, weird dude. Okay. That's that. [00:09:11] Speaker C: And pop a video. [00:09:13] Speaker B: I. Yeah, pop a video. Yeah. Let's get started. Yeah, [00:09:23] Speaker C: get driving. I'll be right back. [00:09:24] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. I said. So I did, like, my computer up a little at the start. I think I got everything. If I missed anything, I'M sorry. After, if you catch anything, feel free to jump in. But I think I covered it pretty well. Like mostly I missed part of the intro. I know they're doing the opening promo segment things again. Yeah, yeah. Mega Bad was there and they've got Lena Cross with them now. [00:09:48] Speaker D: Yes. Everybody had their like little. Their little spat coming up. [00:09:54] Speaker B: Yeah, the. [00:09:55] Speaker D: Did you see the Babes of Wrath? Because all my. [00:09:58] Speaker B: No, that part. All I saw was Mega Bad. [00:10:01] Speaker D: Harley Cameron gives a great line. He says fill you will fill you with so much wrath it'll come out your ass. [00:10:09] Speaker B: That's really good. I'll have to go back on it. [00:10:11] Speaker D: Your like. Yes, it was very good. So everybody gave their little. Their little promos. That's the one that's really. [00:10:18] Speaker B: Yeah, we've been talking about that on the show, how that's a nice feature and I'm glad they're continuing that on especially it's not like if somebody's not catching every single week and they hop on it gives them a chance to kind of get like caught up or [00:10:31] Speaker D: if you're not watching Saturday, Saturday, something came through. [00:10:35] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:10:35] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:10:36] Speaker B: If you can't do Collision. [00:10:37] Speaker A: No. [00:10:37] Speaker B: Without a doubt. Good job. Tony Khan. I'm sure you are happy for our approval on that. Jumping into your money like Scrooge McDuck. [00:10:46] Speaker D: It truly. Oh, I also. It was. This is also a really good point because they. One of the promos or not the pro or just the enter entries is the fight between the Bucks family and ftr. [00:11:01] Speaker B: You see. Yep, I did catch that. They did the recap video showing what happened on Collision with that where. Poor Malachi. Malachi Jackson. Yeah, he is. He does not look like how he used to. Malachi Jackson, for people who don't watch like indie stuff as much, he teamed with the Bucks a lot. He was in pro wrestling Gorillas Battle of Los Angeles. Like he was a real like the third buck for a period in like the mid 2010s. But then he I think got a job selling cars and he seems happy. [00:11:32] Speaker D: So yeah, he was. He was just really exotic. [00:11:35] Speaker A: He. [00:11:35] Speaker D: I read because I looked him up. I was like, the Bucks are from what family I miss stuck with them with young guns. Anyways. But that's when I learned about Malachi and he's just like, yeah, I was too exhausted with the travel. I was like, yeah, I feel that [00:11:49] Speaker B: yeah, a lot of people gave him because he's very like. He's even more like spot heavy than like the other Bucks are. But I always enjoyed him he had some good matches. [00:11:57] Speaker C: Wait, who are we talking about? [00:12:00] Speaker B: Malachi Jackson. When they did, like, the little video recap of Collision, he's the one that. [00:12:06] Speaker C: I had no idea there was a third buck. I have no idea that. Yeah, that was news to me. [00:12:13] Speaker D: It feels very Michael Corleone, like. And then they dragged me back in, like, ah. Then all of a sudden, I get Dede or pile drived in the middle of the ring by ftr. [00:12:28] Speaker C: Come on, bro, we're on tv. Come on. We got company. [00:12:31] Speaker B: Come on. We got to see Papa Bucks. Righteous, badass leather jacket he wears. [00:12:37] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:12:38] Speaker D: Incredible. [00:12:40] Speaker B: Yeah. So there's a good little recap section to start. And they launch, right? And we go to John Moxley vs. L. Clone in a continental champion match. [00:12:50] Speaker C: Quick, quick, quickly. While. While I have the. The energy and happiness and joy before I remember the horrors. L. Clone is too good. Yeah, he's too good. He art it. Like, I'm gonna need hologram to come back and give us, like, the greatest best of seven series that ever happened. Yeah, it'll be great because this guy is unreal. Okay, now say everything you have to say about the match. I'm gonna go cry into a pillow. [00:13:23] Speaker D: Cool. [00:13:23] Speaker B: I like that. It started off with. They've been doing that Renee, like, recap stuff, like during the entrances. And in this one, she comes up to Marina Shafir to ask about the pre match slap routine that she has with her husband. You should say. But Marina goes, there is no peace for great men and there is no pain in that slap. Only joy. Joy again, chewing on the bars of my enclosure. [00:13:50] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Renee's like, yes, I'm familiar with how my husband likes to be slapped. Hey, hey, I'm sorry. I read the man's book. He's kink. You cannot convince me. [00:14:05] Speaker B: You can tell by seeing them together that that's probably how they are. [00:14:10] Speaker C: Like, hey, Renee. [00:14:12] Speaker B: Too much like sweetness not to beat the out of Mox a little. [00:14:16] Speaker C: Is it cool if Marina is like, my work soft? All right, cool. See, we all worked it out, honey. The pal is strong. [00:14:26] Speaker B: Roddy's busy playing Xbox with Kyle O'Reilly. [00:14:29] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah, whatever, dude. [00:14:30] Speaker B: Just. [00:14:31] Speaker C: What? Yeah. [00:14:34] Speaker D: Truly messes me up that Renee and Mox are together like that. [00:14:38] Speaker C: Isn't it weird? [00:14:39] Speaker B: It is one of those. When you first hear about it, it doesn't seem right. But then it's like, it almost makes sense just because, like, I've known so many of those disparate couples where it's like they're just not Opposite, but just like far enough apart. [00:14:54] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:14:55] Speaker B: In certain ways that they complement each other. [00:14:57] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:14:58] Speaker C: I've known so many. So many. And like, what was the gruff dude [00:15:03] Speaker B: and sweet lady is a fun combination always. [00:15:06] Speaker D: That's true. Yeah. [00:15:08] Speaker C: But that's another thing too, that if you. If you read the book Mox, or better yet, listen to him read the audiobook and like, it's like, oh, he love. He loves, loves that woman. Like, holy. There's a. [00:15:21] Speaker B: There's a really funny video I saw recently where they were like, they were in their, like, home gym and there was a jump up box and Renee is. Max is filming. Renee is wearing pajamas, and Renee's going to do like a standing jump onto the box. Max is like, yeah, no, she. She does it clean and she lands and she just turns and looks at him and like flexes her guns and goes g. And I was like, yep, these. They are absolutely perfect together. They're so cute. Oh, good [00:15:55] Speaker C: wife guy Mox. Like, yeah. I'm so happy that those two found each other in the hell of the Fed. Yeah. [00:16:02] Speaker B: He took Seth Rollins on their first date. Like, cute not to get. [00:16:07] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah, yeah. No spoilers for Mox, but yeah. [00:16:11] Speaker B: Yeah, it makes sense. All right, we'll get to this match though. Like, Elkon, I literally wrote down elk clone is slippery because they start off with some, like, really crazy grapplings. Good exchanges. At one point, Mox flips out clone the double burrs and calls him a. Which I was like, that's a very good touch. [00:16:30] Speaker C: Excuse me, Excuse me. Put the madre. Get it right. [00:16:35] Speaker B: I thought he just straight up said, like, I'll get you or something like that. [00:16:39] Speaker C: Yeah, I'm telling him to, you know, I was gonna say. [00:16:41] Speaker B: Oh, say it's bad. Yeah, I don't speaks. I don't think El speaks Spanish though. I think he speaks ones and zeros. Like, I think you can only talk to him in binary. [00:16:50] Speaker C: Binary or zeros and ones because he's a reverse, you know. [00:16:54] Speaker B: Hey, yeah, that's true too. Yeah, there's a two in there. That's. That's the glitch. [00:16:58] Speaker C: Oh, that's w. Yeah, that's the glitch. That's where he stops in the pay kick. That's why it's a bed. [00:17:03] Speaker B: Yeah, that's the difference between him and hologram is there's one, two in there. Just. [00:17:07] Speaker C: Just a good call. Yeah. [00:17:11] Speaker B: I do love the L clone hand gesture. We talked about where he does the hologram H and then he tilts it into a C with his head. And the camera does it with him too. [00:17:20] Speaker D: So good. [00:17:21] Speaker C: We did it like twice this match. And I was like, that's fine. [00:17:26] Speaker B: Alcohol does a credible step off moonsault off the guard rail, like, knocks it on the floor on the outside. Elkhorn just like steps on top of the guardrail and fluidly flips back and lands on him so clean. [00:17:38] Speaker D: He tells the crowd to. And then he does it too. I love it when they. [00:17:42] Speaker B: I that such a. [00:17:45] Speaker D: Such a simple thing, and I love it. [00:17:46] Speaker B: Wait, that's like El said, he's really good in the ring, but he's really good at the little things too. Like, he's estab. This gimmick could have gone really dumb and badly, but he's so good at, like, doing these little touches to it. Like the. The escapes from the necket where he like, pops out of stuff and like, does a little head. Like, he. [00:18:06] Speaker C: It's. Yeah, that's. It's not just his wrestling. It's the way he comports himself. Like, he looks like a glitch. He looks like a glitch. He walks like a glitch. He moves like a glitch. [00:18:21] Speaker B: He's up, like, up in reboot. Like. [00:18:26] Speaker C: Yeah, but like, when he does that, the. The thing with the headphones ass, it freaks me out like, every time. Like, in a good way. It's weird. It's creepy. Like, that's the thing. [00:18:38] Speaker B: Hard to look away from it. [00:18:40] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. [00:18:40] Speaker C: He's like, almost like the. The creepy. The creepy white. Literal white dudes with dreads in the Matrix. The twins. The ghost twins. Yeah, they gave me the same vibe as that. It's just like there's something wrong that's wrong. I don't like that. Like, they're like, glitch. Yeah, he's a glitch. He's just off. [00:19:00] Speaker D: Even his kip ups are backwards. Like. [00:19:05] Speaker C: Yeah, you're right. [00:19:07] Speaker B: Yeah, that's a good catch. I didn't get. Yeah, but you're right because I was [00:19:12] Speaker D: like, why is he like that? And it's like, oh, yeah. He just kept up backwards. [00:19:16] Speaker B: That's what me makes this match really good is like, it's such a clash of not just the wrestling style of the Lucha versus brawn, but like, Max is a very grounded figure in pro wrestling. He's not like a superhero. He is just like a dude who can kick your ass and it works great. But like, putting that up against this like, high concept character that Tony Khan came up with when he was. [00:19:38] Speaker C: I have more. Yeah, [00:19:42] Speaker B: I mean, it works so well. [00:19:43] Speaker D: Excellent. [00:19:45] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:19:45] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:19:48] Speaker C: I once saw a promo of him, and, like, someone's like. Like someone's like, kitchen that obviously, like, three in the morning, hammered, getting ready to eat, like, some frozen pizza talk. [00:19:59] Speaker B: I think I've seen the same. [00:20:01] Speaker C: Yeah. I was like, yeah, Moxley. And he looked like he was like, maybe, like, 20. Like, he just a baby, but I believe he was gonna kill that man. [00:20:15] Speaker B: He was dangerous. Like, I mean, he's out, but he seemed dangerous. Like, back in, when he was doing the, like, drunken, where he's saying Sweet Caroline during his entrance and was just, like, running at people in the stands. It's like, oh, yeah. It seems like the kind of guy, like, if I ran into him at a party, I'd be like, I should probably leave this party. [00:20:31] Speaker C: Yeah, no, that's it. Like, early Indies. Mox Hampter was like, some. [00:20:37] Speaker B: Yeah, we'll find some, like, links to clips for you. [00:20:40] Speaker C: Because we'll find some for you. Like, he was out there. Yeah. [00:20:46] Speaker B: Violently drunk, like, all the time. [00:20:48] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:20:49] Speaker B: Just looked like the greasiest dude, like, you would literally, like, meet in the park that you're just like, oh, like, seriously. [00:20:57] Speaker C: No, like that. [00:20:58] Speaker B: This was going to be a chill day, but. Oh, Moxley's here. [00:21:03] Speaker C: Yeah, no, I used to be a bartender. It's the kind of thing where, like, ah, Mox is here. All right. Keep an eye on him. We. We got two drinks, tops, and he's out. His m. Spends good. He tips well. He's a good guy. But, like, he's gonna, like. Like he's gonna start a fight. It's gonna happen. [00:21:21] Speaker B: Alpha kicks Max in the dick at one point. It looks like it was supposed to be like, a soul butt to the gut, but it was a little pretty low. And it's funny because he did the thigh slap, too, so it looked like he kicked him in the dick, like, really loud. [00:21:36] Speaker D: He gets. He gets another low, lowish blow in there, too, towards the end. I believe he gets two in. [00:21:42] Speaker C: I think that it was just miscommunication. But Mox sold it beautifully. And. Yeah, no adding them because, yeah, he [00:21:49] Speaker B: did it right in front of the ref, too. [00:21:52] Speaker C: Normally, I think that coin shot, that's nuts. That's literally. That's amazing. [00:22:01] Speaker B: There's another really cool touch that El Clone does. I've seen him do this in a couple matches where when his opponent is draped over the ropes, like their neck is over the ropes, he kicks the rope so it, like, jabs him in the throat and knocks him back Up. He did that to Mox and then just like clothesline him and take. Took his head right off. And I was like, that is a real cool touch. [00:22:20] Speaker D: He does a back heel kick. [00:22:23] Speaker C: Oh, yeah. [00:22:24] Speaker D: That is just so sick. He does it a couple of times as well. And it's just so. It's one. I think because it's. It's more glitch stuff. Like he doesn't kick forward. Of course, he kicks backwards. I guess maybe I'm reading too much into it, but, like, those are. [00:22:41] Speaker C: Oh, I'm into it. Please, please read. I'm really enjoying reading into this. [00:22:46] Speaker B: Yeah, that's another. We'll have to send you some. Let's see if I can find some matches of outgoing when he's on, you know, his loot. His actual Lucia Persona of are as the King of Strange style, where he's like, got a crazy painted face and does just like. Like this is very much a continuation of it. But he's always been just such an inventive part of the wrestling. Really cool. [00:23:06] Speaker D: You love to see it. [00:23:08] Speaker B: Yeah, he does go for that. The backwards stare before the Pele kick. That looks really cool. But Mox catches him and turns it into a choke. And Clone does kind of escape it and then flips through and kicks him right in the face. [00:23:21] Speaker C: It was such a fun sequence. [00:23:23] Speaker B: Yeah. These guys, they have just great chemistry here. [00:23:27] Speaker C: They really do. [00:23:28] Speaker B: Yeah. Goes for that big dive and Mox catches it in the cutter. Okay. Oh. Clone flips out of like. Mox goes for the stop and flicker standard. Clone bounces out of it on his neck, basically, and does the, like, cool head twist thing. [00:23:43] Speaker C: Yeah. Where he's like, I got springy. Like I'm Tigger, but with my neck instead of a springy tail. Like, it just bounces out of. It's nuts. [00:23:55] Speaker B: Yeah. That kind of brings us towards the end. Clone hits a huge diving footstep from the top that, like, look really good and gets a near fall fat. He goes for the portal bomb. But Mox turns it into the paradigm shift. And then it's a really good death right for the way we just. I love these, like, we're getting these 15 minute Moxley bangers. He's taken over that role that, like, Orange Cassidy used to have. All right, you're gonna go out there, you're gonna start the show with just a nice, solid TV match. And he does it week after week. [00:24:23] Speaker D: I will say that though I am new to this game, I swear, Moxley has the best fucking lariats in the Game. There were a number of them that came out throughout this, this evening that I desperately enjoyed. But his King Kong lariat, I was [00:24:42] Speaker C: just like, yeah, yeah, he has really [00:24:46] Speaker B: good follow through with it. [00:24:47] Speaker D: Like, yeah, yeah, that's the thing. Yeah, he doesn't just leave it. [00:24:52] Speaker B: He is with that like upper. Like you see a lot of people where they'll hit the lyrics. It's almost like they hit it kind of like in the middle of the elbow and it just bounces and like. No, he takes their head off of this whole. [00:25:00] Speaker C: I mean that's the lariat. That's the lariat that like took hanger out for a bit. Like they literally had to stop the match because he concussed his ass so bad. [00:25:10] Speaker B: That match is why I can now tell if an injury is legit or not. Because when Hangman, they cut the away from him and they just went to the announcers and did not film like anything in the ring. [00:25:21] Speaker C: But you know what Hampter? You know what Jon Moxley was doing? Running his mouth the whole time. He know he didn't go after him because he was legitly injured. But he didn't break. [00:25:32] Speaker B: But he kept. [00:25:34] Speaker C: Yeah, he was just marching around mad like, like, yeah, talking and mad that he couldn't keep beating his ass and they weren't letting him. You know what I mean? Like that kind of like that's. Oh my God, I love him so much. God, Jon Moxley loves pro wrestling. [00:25:47] Speaker B: Yeah, that was the most. That was like the most shaken I've ever seen. Taz, like, they cut the Taz and he's like, oh, like, oh, this is not good. Oh yeah, this is not like part of the show. [00:25:58] Speaker C: He's like, trust me. I worked at ecw. I've seen a lot of concussions. That was bad news. [00:26:05] Speaker B: Yeah, we kind of. They go to a recap of Kenny Omega versus Swerve Strickland which leads into Swerve coming out to get promo. He gets to the announce table, Prince Nana. Ushering away the like announcers was a very, very good touch. I like that. Like Prince not a still baby face. [00:26:22] Speaker C: No, you can never. You're never gonna get the crowd to Boonana. It's never gonna happen. [00:26:26] Speaker B: No, but it's working really well with like Swerve being a heel, like and. [00:26:33] Speaker D: Okay, okay, so he's a heel. [00:26:35] Speaker B: Yes, he's. He's turning back heel and really. [00:26:39] Speaker D: Okay. [00:26:40] Speaker B: Had his most success in AEW as either heel or like a heel leaning tweener. Like he originally. He Was in Swerving your. Swerving my Glory. Keith Lee. Yep. [00:26:56] Speaker C: And he turns, but he's alive. [00:26:59] Speaker B: Yeah. He's just health wise. Why would you come. My favorite wrestlers. Yeah, that was really when he started gaining traction. [00:27:08] Speaker D: Like. Yeah, he mentions it in, like, in this. [00:27:11] Speaker B: Yeah, that was when he was at. His dad is doing his best. Yeah. [00:27:15] Speaker D: The crowd just didn't know how to react. I like, I felt like everybody, at least this crowd, because I. I wanted to mention this crowd, this Denver, Colorado crowd hates two things. One of them is Don Call, the other is Ice. And they just didn't. [00:27:31] Speaker C: Yep. [00:27:34] Speaker B: Honestly, I thought this was a great crowd in general, though. They were really, like, responsive to. They were coming up with. Well, I have a few, like, chants through here that I thought were very, [00:27:42] Speaker C: very funny, this crowd. And also, I will say, I know MJF brought it up too. I think it's very awesome that they gave the Radicals such a fun match in Denver. [00:27:56] Speaker B: I mean, that's like, in terms of play. Like, I live in Michigan where it is the best state for weed in the country, in my opinion. If I had to live somewhere else for weed, it would probably miss Colorado, like, everyone. Yeah, I know. Yeah. [00:28:09] Speaker D: Colorado west coast is pretty good for it too. [00:28:13] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, yeah. I like seasons. [00:28:18] Speaker D: Yeah, that's fair. [00:28:20] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah. [00:28:22] Speaker B: Oh, oh, oh, there's a run in. [00:28:25] Speaker C: Oh, we have a run in, folks. [00:28:27] Speaker B: Out of the side. We've been off topic a lot, so we're still pretty early in the show. [00:28:44] Speaker A: Actually, I was actually gonna say. How far did you get? [00:28:47] Speaker D: We're at Kenny and Strickland. [00:28:49] Speaker A: Oh, God. [00:28:50] Speaker B: That's not even promo. [00:28:52] Speaker C: Yeah, we just finished oh, Clone in Mox, which was. [00:28:56] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:28:57] Speaker C: Oh, God. Yeah, yeah, yeah. [00:28:59] Speaker A: Oh, man. [00:29:00] Speaker B: Swerve. He says that the table is more sturdy after he drove Kenny's head through it last week. Says he felt guilt. Yeah, yeah. Feel no guilt because he warned Kenny. [00:29:11] Speaker A: He is the table. [00:29:13] Speaker B: Right. [00:29:13] Speaker D: This defense is such ass. Okay, that's it. I know it's a thing. I know people wrestlers use it, but it is. It is ass. I'm disappointing. I'm just saying that right now. Okay, let's continue. [00:29:29] Speaker C: No, no. I don't know, because to me that's the same argument. Is that kid in the. In the brown hoodie who punched that Nazi in the high school because, like, he warned him. He told him. It was like, you do. You keep saying that I'm gonna punch you and you're in trouble. Okay. Like he did. And swerves like they're. You're Gonna. They're gonna think you're a heel. And he's like, Yeah, yeah. Oh, no. [00:29:54] Speaker B: Right. [00:29:57] Speaker A: Like a straight heart punch, probably. [00:30:00] Speaker C: Yeah. No, orange. Orange punch even. We'll change it to the brown punch. Yeah. For that kid in his shirt. But no, this swerve. Swerve promo was amazing. And that, that whoever that heckler was trying to give him. Yeah. [00:30:16] Speaker B: What did I say? I didn't hear. I just. [00:30:18] Speaker A: Oh, he's. [00:30:19] Speaker C: He was just like, you're a piece of. And he's like, your mother, [00:30:25] Speaker B: your mama, boy. [00:30:26] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:30:31] Speaker B: Very big crowd reaction. [00:30:33] Speaker C: Well, that. Well, that shuts that down. [00:30:36] Speaker D: Like, even the crowd was like, whoa, whoa. When he shouted it. And the crowd was like, hey, whoa. [00:30:43] Speaker A: No, she's like, I. I had this. All right, so I'll jump in and just say, let's go. You can't. You can't. I'm driving. Oh, oh, oh, no, we're driving. [00:30:55] Speaker C: You're not driving. [00:30:59] Speaker D: Oh, no, no. [00:31:00] Speaker C: You're not driving. [00:31:02] Speaker A: Birthday. I'm drunk. No, that, that. Everybody. Everybody loves when swerves a basket. [00:31:09] Speaker B: I was. Yeah. [00:31:11] Speaker C: No, I was. [00:31:12] Speaker B: I. [00:31:12] Speaker C: My favorite Swerve Strickland is when he is a dastardly, like, cold hearted killer and just does not give a. [00:31:22] Speaker A: How did he get over? [00:31:23] Speaker C: Oh, my. He went. He got over by cutting a promo on Hangman's newborn child in a crib. Why do you hampter. Why do you think he burned motherfucker's house down? Because he did that. Swerve had that coming. Like, like swerve had that coming. [00:31:46] Speaker D: It harkens back to Brian Pillman and Stone Cold going to his house. [00:31:54] Speaker B: It's kind of like the final front for a promo. Like, oh, actually took this outside the arena. I took this outside the ring. I am taking this into your personal life. [00:32:02] Speaker C: Yeah. It's like I'm breaking to your house and cutting a promo on your. Your baby. [00:32:07] Speaker D: That's so up. [00:32:09] Speaker C: So hampter. That's a Swerve Strickland that we are getting back. And I am. Never mind. [00:32:17] Speaker D: No idea. [00:32:21] Speaker B: Well, that's why they're really like pushing the whole most dangerous man in AEW thing with this. [00:32:26] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:32:26] Speaker B: Which actually I talked about before how like his new theme I didn't think worked as good as an entrance theme when he debuted it, but that was more when he was still trying to kind of be in the. No. Well, now that he's doing this story and he's doing this character of being like he is reclaiming being the most dangerous man in aew. I'm like, oh, okay. That's why he has the new entrance thing. No, it's more. Yeah. It's not like Big Pressure is a baby face, like, pop song. This is like an intimidating heel song. Okay. This was. I. Now I see the move. [00:32:57] Speaker C: They're moving. And now, much like his boyfriend, he has a baby face theme and a heel theme. You got. You got your black hat. [00:33:10] Speaker A: When you said his boyfriend, I. I wish people could have seen that. [00:33:20] Speaker B: It's true. If he does turn face again down the line. If he did comes back with that song hitting, it's like, okay, yeah, that's a good little pop. [00:33:28] Speaker C: Yeah, exactly. When. If he turns baby face and comes and all of a sudden comes out to Big pressure, I will lose my ever loving. I know this. [00:33:40] Speaker A: I don't think they can keep him here because forever. [00:33:45] Speaker B: No. Yeah, I think they'll just. Yeah, this will be like a little run to kind of like, re. Establish his, you know, credentials in that realm. [00:33:52] Speaker C: I think they can keep him heel if they let him do keep doing dastardly, like, heinous. Y' all remember what he did to Nick Wayne? Do you remember what he did to that. That child? [00:34:11] Speaker A: Like, it happens. Like, it comes out later in the show. But, like, if his first act after killing Kenny Omega is to beat up the guy that everyone loves because you get to chant ice when he's on screen, that's a. [00:34:29] Speaker C: That's a swerve wants. [00:34:32] Speaker B: Well, and you think, like, we're jumping ahead, but they are going to be facing in Los Angeles, which is Brody King's neighborhood too, and everything. [00:34:39] Speaker A: So, yeah, that's two west coast guys, too. So, like, that's. [00:34:45] Speaker C: I'm so ready. [00:34:48] Speaker B: Kind of like. He talks about his past few. He talks about Hangman and regret and all that, and how Hangman asked if he regretted the bad stuff he did, and he says yes. Now he's like that. Basically. He's like, that was when I was. The most successful I've ever been was when I was a piece of. So I'm gonna be a piece of again. [00:35:03] Speaker C: I am saying. So is. This is what I've been said this whole time. I love him. I'm lo. He's back with. That's like. I'm recounting back to last week, but when he looked into the camera and said I needed this, I was like, oh, he's back. Yeah, yeah, he's back. [00:35:19] Speaker B: That was kind of to me when the pieces of the gimmick fell into place. I'm very. [00:35:26] Speaker C: He needed Blood, like, and he. [00:35:31] Speaker D: I loved the promo in the beginning with Kenny and Swerve from their last fight. And over it, he keeps. The sentence keeps repeating or this phrase keeps repeating. I need this. I need this. And it was just really, like, just tied together so nicely. [00:35:50] Speaker C: Fantastic television. Yes. Well, well produced. Well done. Boys in the back. And girls, I'm sure there be an envy back there. [00:35:58] Speaker A: Televised wrestling, it's kind of how they [00:36:01] Speaker B: tie it together here. The promo ends with Swerve saying that he wants to remind. You know, put the AW roster on notice and remind everybody he is the dangerous man in aw. Which cuts back to Brody backstage with Bandito says he has a problem with Swerve, saying he deserves a title shot and that Brody is going to prove he deserves the title shot Tonight with Mark Davis laying the seeds for what is coming down the line. [00:36:23] Speaker D: I. I think I love Brody King. That's all. [00:36:26] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, yeah, me too. [00:36:28] Speaker C: No, no, no, me too. Me three, me four, me. As many as it takes. [00:36:34] Speaker D: I just want to give him a hug. [00:36:36] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah. [00:36:38] Speaker A: He's a really good hugger, I gotta think. [00:36:39] Speaker B: Yeah. One of those ones where you really like, you feel. You feel it in your chat. It's like, warm and safe and it's like. Yeah. [00:36:46] Speaker A: Oh, I can feel that. I can feel that. [00:36:49] Speaker B: I bet Bandito's a good hugger, too. Like, he gets more. It's like tight and firm. Brody's more like the warm coat coming over yet. Right. Bandito, though, you, like, feel he, like, grabs you, crunches you a little. [00:37:00] Speaker D: I'm gonna give you my strength. Yeah. [00:37:03] Speaker A: I'm gonna cry thinking about getting a hug from Brody King. I kind of need it. [00:37:09] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:37:09] Speaker B: No, we will do a wrestler hug tier list at some point that will go through the roster of who we think gives the best hugs. I genuinely. That's a joke. But actually, that sounds like a really good idea. [00:37:22] Speaker C: No, that's a good one, but no. Yeah. As a fat trans woman, all I. I can say is I need Brody King to lift me up and twirl me because I think he might be the only man who can [00:37:36] Speaker B: probably. Like I said, maybe. I never get picked up. I've never been picked up by anyone. [00:37:42] Speaker C: I bet you marked. I bet you that Brody King, Kevin [00:37:46] Speaker B: Nash at wrestling last year, and I almost asked him. He did it. But then I was worried about his quads. Snap, snap. Like, Hold on to him like a koala bear, wrap myself around. [00:38:04] Speaker A: Oh, it's terrible. It's tendon up his knee like his window shade. [00:38:12] Speaker C: John Ross SAP has a new report. Breaking news for. For frightful Big Daddy Cool Pops. Both quads giving up. [00:38:26] Speaker D: A piece to a monkey. [00:38:27] Speaker B: That'll get some. [00:38:28] Speaker C: Yeah, [00:38:31] Speaker B: yeah. For the podcast, I will try and injure at least one wrestler at WrestleMania this year to get us in. [00:38:37] Speaker D: Thank you. [00:38:39] Speaker A: Thank you. [00:38:40] Speaker B: I'm gonna do a run in at some point. All of this will be admissible. [00:38:47] Speaker C: He's got a ball. [00:38:49] Speaker D: He's got a box. [00:38:50] Speaker B: I'm gonna crash. Sandman's last match [00:38:55] Speaker D: from the top rope. Oh, God. Oh, my God. [00:39:01] Speaker C: Oops. [00:39:01] Speaker D: Orange Cassidy. And speaking of weird, Orange Cassidy versus [00:39:07] Speaker B: Gabe Kid in the singles match is our next match, which is continuation of. [00:39:11] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:39:11] Speaker B: Is there feud that's been going on with Clark Connors, Gabe Karvi Allen, Orange Cassidy. Very nice touch when Orange Cassidy comes out on his. Yeah. Basically on his trot. Has a missing poster of Roderick Strong offering a reward of a 15 gift card. Does not specify where to, just that it's a 15 gift card. [00:39:31] Speaker A: I mean, it's gonna be like a Visa. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. [00:39:35] Speaker B: Just a general like. Yeah, prepaid debit or something like that. [00:39:37] Speaker C: And I. I'm taking those too. If you remember the intro. I'm, I'm. I'm. This is my down and out Ella era. So if you want to send out the Visa cards, all you got to [00:39:50] Speaker B: do is find Roderick Strong. [00:39:51] Speaker C: Yeah, I know where he is. [00:39:54] Speaker B: He's. [00:39:55] Speaker C: He's playing video games. [00:39:59] Speaker A: You know, [00:40:02] Speaker C: soft tops. Jon Moxley on television. [00:40:04] Speaker A: You know what I want to see now is I want to see. [00:40:07] Speaker B: Sounds pretty good. [00:40:09] Speaker A: Brian Keith just be like, yo, I found him. [00:40:15] Speaker B: Yeah, that's the bounty. I did also decide in the tradition of whittling to Jack. I'm not calling Gabe Kid Scamper and Gabe due to his entrance because he comes up like a little spider monkey. [00:40:29] Speaker C: He does scamper, don't he? [00:40:31] Speaker B: Yeah, he does. I get it's supposed to look like unhinged and like he's a madman, but it genuinely to me just looks like a little kid, like trying to climb upstairs. Yeah, [00:40:44] Speaker D: it's very little kiddish. Yeah. [00:40:46] Speaker C: Yes. [00:40:48] Speaker B: God, there's just something about his like aura and presentation that veers too far to goofy for me sometimes. [00:40:54] Speaker C: Yeah, like kindergarten. Ready? Gabe Kid. Literal kid. [00:40:59] Speaker B: Kindergarten Years of the dojo. [00:41:03] Speaker A: Two years. Yeah, the Ops Dojo. [00:41:09] Speaker C: Even he's like, I don't want to hang out. [00:41:11] Speaker A: Actually. No. If. I'm pretty sure if I said you went to the Ops Dojo, right, He'd just straight up murder me. [00:41:16] Speaker D: Yeah, [00:41:19] Speaker B: it is just Hook sitting in an empty dojo on a rolled up wrestling mat, looking at Instagram on his phone. [00:41:25] Speaker C: That is all. [00:41:26] Speaker B: The option is gone. Everybody else is gone. [00:41:36] Speaker D: He keeps checking if some mojo's right, his message or not. [00:41:40] Speaker B: Are you healed? Yeah, please, I can't handle this. [00:41:43] Speaker A: His recruiting is what, like scrolling through some. [00:41:46] Speaker B: Please don't go back to being able [00:41:47] Speaker A: to be like, no, no, no, no, no, I got blocked. No. Hey, babe, what are you doing? [00:42:03] Speaker C: Anyways, [00:42:08] Speaker B: I think this, we're just starting the match, but I think this is genuinely a good match. Like, yeah, yeah. [00:42:15] Speaker C: Bad matches. [00:42:16] Speaker B: No, but I think Gabe does really well in this match too. Like I, I've had seen him have really, really good matches, but God, it's just something about seeing the dude on TV where I'm just like, you are. It's not hitting for me. [00:42:28] Speaker C: I love that we're talking about last year's match of the year winner and a lot of people. [00:42:32] Speaker B: Yeah, no, that's exactly. Yeah, I voted a match of the year. I genuinely did. [00:42:36] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:42:38] Speaker B: Like, yeah, I gave it number one. I'm sorry, that's my opinion. [00:42:43] Speaker A: All right, now I have to give you. [00:42:47] Speaker B: I said I was gonna do that. I said I was doing that in the chat. Like, I didn't. This is even something I hid. Yeah, yeah. That Orange Cassidy style match he has with like the brute force versus the technical thing. Like this is a lot of him hitting like roll ups and counters and kind of surviving the onslaught of like heavy strikes and like big power moves that Gabe throws at him. [00:43:10] Speaker D: Yeah, Tactical offense sums it up. [00:43:13] Speaker A: Yeah, I do like the dynamic because there's like Orange tries like very early on. Like he's trying to do his Mr. X and Gabe just like, no, you. [00:43:23] Speaker B: Yeah, Smash. [00:43:25] Speaker A: And then he like, he does the, the thing where he smacks his head on the turnbuckles and then games starts doing it and OC's like, Nope, yeah, off. No, I'm done. I'm out. [00:43:35] Speaker B: It looks corny. Unless you're Samoan. I'm sorry. [00:43:39] Speaker A: Well, he's crazy, isn't it? [00:43:42] Speaker B: Yeah, he's a madman. [00:43:43] Speaker A: He's a madman, isn't it? [00:43:46] Speaker B: But that's like, that's my point with them. Like even that I'm like, okay, it looks like it's a cool spot. I've seen other people do. I like. But with him I'm just like, it feels like that kid who's trying way too hard to like present himself as an intimidating person on the playground. [00:44:00] Speaker A: It's weird because he, he can do it. But like he always. Yeah, like, like you said, he veers very often into too much because like, like when his last match in New Japan before he like went on whatever he's on now, he cut like. It was a really good promo. He's. Yeah, he cut like a fire ass promo. It's like, I've been doing this, a [00:44:22] Speaker B: great match with Andrade. Like it was. [00:44:24] Speaker A: Yeah, he's like, I lost to Andrade. I've been doing this for years. I'm the only one in the company that actually stood up for the company for like two whole years scampering out of his cage. And now I have to go deal with Darby Allen. [00:44:39] Speaker B: A demotion if there ever was one. That's literally what he was say. [00:44:43] Speaker A: He's like, I have to go deal with D, but I'll be back. I'll be back. [00:44:48] Speaker B: Well, like I said, when he comes out, he still does have the New Japan lion mark on his Titan Tron. Yeah, I think they're probably doing like a dual contract kind of thing. Like Tesha has like Kevin Knight apparently has, even though he hasn't shown back up in New Japan. But that's a good. [00:45:03] Speaker A: That would be my guess. [00:45:04] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah, I think he's gonna be back and I think he's done with New Japan. I think Clark Conor would probably go back. [00:45:10] Speaker A: That's why they're just the dogs. They're the dogs. [00:45:15] Speaker B: Dogs and birds. [00:45:16] Speaker A: They'd be dogs in the birds. [00:45:20] Speaker B: There is some cool in this match, like game. Kid is very hard with the strikes. He punches Orange Cassidy really flush in the jaw like right before going to commercial at one point. [00:45:31] Speaker C: And again, Orange Cassie does not have bad matches. [00:45:34] Speaker B: Yeah. No, he kills it in this. [00:45:36] Speaker C: He can't. [00:45:37] Speaker B: He hits like the loudest penalty kick I've ever heard in my life. On game. He laid that in. [00:45:47] Speaker A: I mean, Gabe probably told him to. Cause he's a madman, isn't it? [00:45:52] Speaker C: Because he's a madman. [00:45:54] Speaker B: Orange bastard. Was it Paco used to call him Orange Balls? [00:46:00] Speaker C: That sounds like a thing. [00:46:02] Speaker B: It was packer, Zach Saver Jr. One of them. Always called Orange Cassidy Orange balls. [00:46:07] Speaker A: Orange Balls. [00:46:08] Speaker B: I can't do. I can only do Jimmy Hart. Orange bollocks. Yeah, Orange bollocks. [00:46:17] Speaker A: Bollocks. That's not right. That's not how Zack. [00:46:25] Speaker B: Miss. Speaking of orange makes me think of a skin. Jimmy, you're leaving me. [00:46:37] Speaker C: Go, Jimmy, go. Go on. [00:46:39] Speaker B: Yeah. After the go into the light. [00:46:43] Speaker C: James, go into the way. [00:46:45] Speaker B: Yep. Terry's waiting for you. Oh, no. That's hell. Sorry. [00:46:49] Speaker A: This light's fire did it. [00:46:51] Speaker B: Yeah, anything's better than hanging out with Brian Dobbs, daddy. [00:46:54] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, except Brian Knobbs goes to hell too. [00:47:01] Speaker B: No. Eventually. Yeah. Only one not is at Leslie. They need barbers in heaven. I don't know. He could be a piece of. I don't actually know anything about Brutus Barber Beefcake. [00:47:13] Speaker A: I think he's just Ed Leslie. [00:47:15] Speaker B: Oh, Marty Janetti went insane. Real beer at the 90s right here. [00:47:20] Speaker D: And it wasn't even me. This is no into the 90s. [00:47:25] Speaker A: This is. We did this to ourselves. [00:47:29] Speaker B: Brad Knobs. Looks like he gets bad hugs. [00:47:32] Speaker A: Yeah, he's. He's. He's. He's got like E tier hugs on the list. [00:47:37] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:47:38] Speaker B: It lingers too long and it never like. It's never really like super comfy, but it just like is held and you start to smell them a little before you feel. [00:47:46] Speaker A: You feel sticky after. [00:47:48] Speaker B: Oh, no. [00:47:51] Speaker C: I hated everything. Can you drive this car faster? [00:47:54] Speaker B: Yeah, we're getting there. We're almost to the end of this. Orange does his lazy strike. He puts it. This was a cool spot. Orange puts his hands in his pockets and Gabe spits in his face and goes for the pile driver. But Orange, like, baited him into the pile driver to turn it into the beach break. I was like that. Yeah, that was. [00:48:12] Speaker A: That's a sick spot. [00:48:14] Speaker D: I liked the exchange beforehand too, where he was like the. Where the crowd goes wild, but he's just very lightly tapping, hitting him with his hand. And Gabe's just looking at him. They're both on their knees. [00:48:29] Speaker C: That's vintage. How would what's his nuts from the Fed put it? It's vintage. Vintage Cassidy. Yeah. Michael Cole. That's vintage Cassidy. [00:48:40] Speaker A: Cassidy. I don't know how to do. I don't know how he sounds. [00:48:44] Speaker B: He doesn't sound like anything is the problem. [00:48:46] Speaker C: That's the problem. Yeah. [00:48:49] Speaker B: Generic white to dude, like, is the as good as you can get, Magle? Yeah, that's why you need JBL there for some kookiness. [00:48:59] Speaker C: Yeah. Michael Cole. If Todd Pettigrew could act. [00:49:04] Speaker B: Basically, he was a war correspondent. Okay. [00:49:07] Speaker C: Yeah, exactly. Which is how he was able to work for Vince for that long. [00:49:12] Speaker B: It must. He worked for wwe. Like, he must have been a war correspondent for like. Like a month in his 20s before Vince signed him up. Like, I don't know when he was doing that. He was in like, Kuwait or some. [00:49:23] Speaker A: Was he in the 90s? [00:49:24] Speaker B: Yeah, he was actually. He was a legitimate, like, news person in some Capacity is my understanding. Before he got signed with WWE and was actually, like, war reporting and, like, there's a picture or maybe like a Kosovo or something. [00:49:37] Speaker A: Keep. Keep driving. I'm gonna check. [00:49:38] Speaker C: Oh, later. [00:49:40] Speaker B: Yeah, no, let's. [00:49:41] Speaker C: Michael Cole. [00:49:43] Speaker A: He covered the killing fields of Cambodia. [00:49:52] Speaker D: I mean, who the cares. [00:49:54] Speaker B: It was Robert Frost and Michael Cole. They did it together. [00:50:01] Speaker C: One of us has to. Has to look up while you drive forever now because of the time you found out in Mark Davis of us. [00:50:10] Speaker B: I still feel dumb about that. [00:50:12] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:50:17] Speaker B: Myself within the episode. Like, I. [00:50:22] Speaker C: Yes. [00:50:22] Speaker B: I appreciate it. I was like, this seems like one of those things that I could have just seen and thought was real and it's not. I was like, okay. It was Connor Mills, the UK pro wrestler. And he just has a history of taking romantic pictures with his buddies, [00:50:39] Speaker A: which [00:50:39] Speaker B: is a fine thing to do, too. Yeah. Sometimes you just want to take a prom picture with your bro, and there's nothing wrong with that. [00:50:46] Speaker A: We get to this, there's nothing in his wiki about being in the work. Correspondent. [00:50:51] Speaker B: Okay. I don't know why I thought Michael Cole was a war correspondent. [00:50:54] Speaker A: Oh, Michael Cole. [00:50:59] Speaker C: Oh, God. [00:51:02] Speaker B: That bad guy was never a legitimate journalist. [00:51:07] Speaker A: He was a radio guy. [00:51:08] Speaker C: No, he was. He was, though. He was a radio guy. [00:51:11] Speaker B: Yeah. Oh, I guess he has that voice. He does have a nice voice. [00:51:15] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:51:15] Speaker B: He went back to it. Yeah, I know Michael Cole. [00:51:18] Speaker A: Holy. He covered Waco. [00:51:21] Speaker B: Oh, no. [00:51:28] Speaker C: Like, that's the sickest I've ever heard in my life. [00:51:33] Speaker A: The branch. He did the 88 and 92 presidential campaigns, and then he did Waco. He spent nine months covering Yugoslavia and civil war. [00:51:44] Speaker B: Yugoslavia. [00:51:47] Speaker A: He covered the aftermath of the Oklahoma City bombing. [00:51:50] Speaker D: Holy. [00:51:51] Speaker C: Vince is like, don't ask any questions, but I'm. I need that guy. [00:51:54] Speaker B: Yeah. I need that man to kiss my ass on television. [00:51:58] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:51:59] Speaker B: This legitimate journalist. Let's get his face up my. [00:52:03] Speaker A: That is quite literally. Yeah. He's exactly the person Vince would have hated. [00:52:07] Speaker C: That's my shadow gm Pal. You know? [00:52:10] Speaker B: All right, we gotta. [00:52:11] Speaker C: You know. [00:52:11] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:52:12] Speaker B: There's literally like. No, it was a good derail. I'm glad we got into this, but. Yeah, we gotta finish this match. Gabe gouges Orange Cassie's eyes. It's kind of distracts Bryce from doing. Gets him in a pile driver. Hits it for the win. Clark Connors comes out, starts beating Orange. Cassidy down. Darby comes out with the skateboard, takes out Gabe. Darby rolls the skateboard to Clark. Clark goes to pick it up. He has the code Red, which is a very cool Spot. I always. I've liked that. It's like a nice little misdirect thing. Orange hits Gabe with the orange punch and Darby ollies off the top rope and lands on his back. So we're probably getting Orange Cassidy and Darby Allen versus Gabe Kid and Clark Connors at maybe in like a Zero Hour Revolution or something. I'm guessing. [00:52:59] Speaker A: I mean, put it on the actual pay per view, but sure. [00:53:03] Speaker B: I just don't. Yeah, they don't have that many matches announced. They could do that, right? [00:53:08] Speaker D: That's weird. [00:53:09] Speaker C: Solution isn't fully booked at all. [00:53:11] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, yeah. It could be on the main card. [00:53:15] Speaker D: Like three Homicidal Maniacs with just this dude. Like. Sorry, this is weird. [00:53:31] Speaker B: Orange Cassidy just like bounces from, like these very passionate characters where he just kind of like, he just got done with Tony Storm and now he's hanging out with Gabe Kid, like. Right. [00:53:43] Speaker A: Save me from these people with the accents. [00:53:50] Speaker B: He wants to go back to being an ant. [00:53:52] Speaker A: He could. Well, he probably can, actually. [00:53:55] Speaker B: No, they'll never do that. I would love. It would be a very fun thing if they did like a Chakara tribute show or something one day, but I doubt it will never happen. [00:54:04] Speaker A: Somebody said Quackenbush owns the rights to the gimmick and all of us. Like, nobody's gonna give him money anymore [00:54:11] Speaker B: and no one's gonna work with him. They're not gonna bring him in. Yeah. Nope, That's. No, exactly. He's on the blacklist. But I don't. I mean, like, Ultraman is black is out there doing and stuff. So I don't know. [00:54:23] Speaker A: Yes. There's a lot of Chicago guys. Like, we were just talking about the Estonian Thunder Frog. [00:54:28] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:54:29] Speaker C: Oh, yeah. Because I went to see grabs. I went to see local grabs and there were. I in fact, saw Super Atomic Thunder Frog and Big Opossum, the current iteration of the Minnesota Wrecking Zoo. [00:54:45] Speaker B: I love pro wrestling. [00:54:47] Speaker C: Oh, it was a grand time. They still haven't retrieved Opossum son Joey, though. [00:54:55] Speaker B: Thoughts and prayers before none of us speak Spanish. Correct, Correct. [00:55:01] Speaker C: I gotta. I got a little. Little. Little. [00:55:04] Speaker B: Yeah. Because we go. Excalibur announces they're gonna do thunder Rosa vs Tekla for the title next week in El Paso. [00:55:10] Speaker C: Oh, I can. I can absolutely translate. [00:55:13] Speaker B: All right. [00:55:14] Speaker C: All of this good. Because. [00:55:15] Speaker B: Yeah, that would be wonderful. [00:55:17] Speaker C: Most of it. [00:55:18] Speaker B: Some. [00:55:18] Speaker C: Most of it. [00:55:20] Speaker B: We go backstage with Renee Pette, Thunder Rosa and Chris Statlander and just. Right. [00:55:25] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:55:25] Speaker B: Thunder Rosa immediately starts speaking mostly Spanish. Like, if you got idea, please. [00:55:31] Speaker C: I don't know. About all that. But I can tell you what's on her shirt, which was a big thing that she. She talked about, because I was like, wait a second. I think I know what that means. And then I had it confirmed for me. And then I cackled. [00:55:49] Speaker B: Yeah, I think I saw it. [00:55:51] Speaker C: Yeah. It was super fun because I went into work today and I printed out a little label, you know, because I work in the kitchen, you print out stuff to put on things, and I. I put on it La Maz Pela and put it on my shirt and. Yeah. And, like, showed it to a couple guys at work, and they. The hardest I have seen someone laugh, like, in a long time. [00:56:21] Speaker B: Thunder Rose. [00:56:22] Speaker C: I was like, I know what that means now. Yeah, right? Yes. Thunder Rosa. We are both the baddest, more or less. Yeah. She was like, rough translation. [00:56:34] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:56:34] Speaker D: It's like you called me a. Yeah, you're right. I am a. I'm the biggest. I'm the best. [00:56:39] Speaker C: Exactly, exactly. I love Thunder Rosa. [00:56:46] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:56:49] Speaker C: She, in fact, is helping me learn Spanish. And I appreciate it. [00:56:52] Speaker B: Thank you. [00:56:53] Speaker C: Thank you, girl. [00:56:54] Speaker B: That's my duo lingo. [00:56:55] Speaker C: Yeah. Yeah. My duolingo. Can you imagine if duolingo was Thunder Rosa just kicking your face ass if you miss the day? [00:57:04] Speaker B: I'm just hoping, like, if I just watch enough cmll, I'll learn Spanish eventually. Like, it'll just go into my brain like, osmosis. [00:57:12] Speaker C: It's not a bad way of doing it. I mean, like, I've known people who have learned English that way. [00:57:19] Speaker B: Stat tells Thunder Rosa to be careful. Thunder says that they're gonna do stat and Chris. Yeah. Stat and Thunder Rosa versus the Sisters of Sin for collision, which would be a fun match. Renee asked Chris Statlander why she's so concerned for Thunder Rosa for taking the match. And Stat just walks off without saying anything. [00:57:36] Speaker D: Yeah. Why is she so concerned? Because she was injured previously. And, like, two theories. [00:57:44] Speaker C: Yeah, okay. There was a lot of war here. [00:57:50] Speaker A: My two theories are one, she's actually concerned that Tekla will beat the out of Thunder Rosa because Thunder Rosa has a long history of injuries. The other theory is that Stat is actually worried that Thunder Rose is going to beat her and win the title before she can. [00:58:09] Speaker B: Yeah, that's good storytelling right there because it makes a lot of sense. [00:58:14] Speaker A: Because what's. What was the thing that they kept feeding through the whole thing? The whole storyline was static in theclo was. You know, you're insecure, you're jealous, you're like, this whole thing is a front. You just want all the attention for yourself. You don't have any friends. You betray all the friends that you make. Oh, baby. [00:58:35] Speaker B: No. That makes a lot of sense, I think. [00:58:38] Speaker D: Right? Yeah. [00:58:39] Speaker B: It's good storytelling. I'm excited. [00:58:41] Speaker D: It's you. You can't be responsible for what you do to the person who stands in your way of getting the belt. Allah. Swerve. So, like, if she has to beat Thunder Rosa, [00:58:55] Speaker B: they did, like, stat versus Rosa versus Tekla at Revolution in some capacity. I think that'd be a very fun triple threat match. [00:59:04] Speaker A: I mean, like, Thunder Rose at home, [00:59:06] Speaker B: it was a ladder match. [00:59:07] Speaker A: My. My mic was off. My mic was off. When I was trying to say this before, and I didn't understand why, but, like, Thunder Rosa had, like, a race, a really great return match on Collision. [00:59:18] Speaker B: Yeah, she did great. I watched it. Yeah, she's very good. [00:59:22] Speaker A: She is good. [00:59:23] Speaker C: I've been a fan of Thunder Rosa for a while. [00:59:26] Speaker A: Yeah. Like, I. I think there's always, like, a little bit of concern when somebody comes. Well, there. I think there always is concern when somebody comes back, like, how they're gonna. [00:59:34] Speaker B: There's ring rust and there's injury fatigue and. Yeah. [00:59:37] Speaker A: Like, I thought she did awesome with Julia Hart, and so they look good. [00:59:43] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:59:44] Speaker A: Like, yeah, Run this program. Run this back. I wouldn't mind seeing get another chance at, like, actually being at the top of the division again or Thunder Rose [00:59:54] Speaker C: on my TV is a thing I'm into. Yeah. [00:59:56] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:59:56] Speaker B: And that match next week's gonna whip. Like, her and Tyler probably absolutely tear the house down in San Antonio. [01:00:04] Speaker C: If anything, I need to be able to yell at my co workers in Better Spanglish. So please, Thunder Rosa, help me. Please. La Mera Mare. You're my only hope. [01:00:20] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. And then next we go to. We got another standby match, which is a fun little thing they've been doing. [01:00:24] Speaker C: Yes. I love the idea of a standby match. Yes. [01:00:28] Speaker B: Yeah. That's a nice little way to mix it up. [01:00:31] Speaker D: Question. What's the standby match? [01:00:34] Speaker B: Basically, they've been saying it's kind of like, oh, if a match doesn't go as long as we expect it to. To fill the time, we have, like, matches that aren't. We're, you know, in the backup. Basically, like, might not have been on the show, but now that we got the time, we'll toss them in base. You know, there's. They're squashes, but it's a nice little, like, way to make it play into the actual formatting. [01:00:55] Speaker C: It's a. It's a hey, fave reason to have a two minute squash match that I [01:01:00] Speaker D: was about to say. [01:01:02] Speaker C: I checked the time, which is in itself. [01:01:09] Speaker D: Yeah, it was like 3ish. [01:01:12] Speaker A: It was 252 under 3. [01:01:15] Speaker B: Oh, good, you got the exact one. Yeah. Business squash. [01:01:18] Speaker C: We've illegally said it. It's a rule. [01:01:21] Speaker B: Which is funny because I felt like in this match it was Kevin Knight versus Mansoor with from MXM collection. I thought Mansour got like more offense in this than in that, like women's the Browning Birds match last week. Like Mansour actually kind of dominated for a little portion. Yeah. [01:01:36] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:01:37] Speaker D: Fun fact is, and more specifically MK MKM1 worst gimmick of the year for 2022. [01:01:52] Speaker A: Stop reading the Observer. Hampter. [01:01:55] Speaker C: Hampter someone. Why? No, I gave you the. [01:01:59] Speaker B: Yeah, I didn't even know that because [01:02:03] Speaker C: I gave it to them to line their enclosure. Okay. Yeah, you're not supposed to read the Observer. You're supposed to on the Observer. Okay. Literally. [01:02:13] Speaker B: And that was in the fact, like, that's a whole different world. That's when they had LA Knight as their manager. And like, yeah, they're awesome in Ring of Honor. Like, I love them. And Johnny TV in Ring of Honor. It is such a fun. And I was so happy to see Mansour on regular TV because I absolutely love him. [01:02:31] Speaker A: Yeah, he is. [01:02:32] Speaker B: When you got them, I was bummed he got a jobber entrance. [01:02:35] Speaker A: Well, it was a squash match. [01:02:37] Speaker C: Yeah, it was a squash match. They were two of those guys that one. Once you got them out from under the Fed, it was like, oh, these rule. When you let them do their thing. [01:02:48] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, they did some great in ddt. [01:02:51] Speaker A: Like the minute they hit the Indies, they were like a completely different team. [01:02:56] Speaker B: Yeah, they were great in dpw. Rest in peace. [01:03:00] Speaker A: Mansour was awesome in Hood Slam. I think. I think they were both in Hood Slam at one point. [01:03:06] Speaker B: Yeah, I think it sounds right. Yeah, Madden's amazing too. He's like one of the best big men in the business. [01:03:11] Speaker C: I saw them. I saw them do some cool on soft ground in Africa. That. That was pretty sick. [01:03:19] Speaker B: Yep, they went there. [01:03:20] Speaker C: Check that out on YouTube. They went over there and. And like, like showed those folks how to work a little bit and like work to match with them. It was super awesome. [01:03:28] Speaker A: I think they're not like the most technically sound wrestlers around, but like, they're better than people give them credit for. And they're just. [01:03:37] Speaker B: And they use like the charisma and fun to like work around. [01:03:40] Speaker A: Whatever you don't. [01:03:43] Speaker B: Yeah, like, even. Like, starting off this match, Kevin Knight does the drop down, and Mansoor just walks over and steps across his back and then poses like he's just immediately in the. In the gimmick. Even goes for the tip touching with Kevin. And then when Kevin goes to touch his tip, they. He just kicks him right in the gut. And with like, a Manhattan drop. Like, he just is doing, like, great heel through this. [01:04:06] Speaker A: He's gonna touch my tip. Come on. Hell yeah. [01:04:10] Speaker B: People there. Listeners can't see that that's just for us. [01:04:19] Speaker D: As podcasting is a visual medium we [01:04:22] Speaker B: describe it is actually nowadays we're like. It's more rare to just put the audio out. Most people, like, put the video along with it. [01:04:32] Speaker A: That is interesting. [01:04:33] Speaker B: Thanks, Joe. [01:04:33] Speaker A: I have a face for radio, though, unfortunately. Really so true. And I refuse to learn makeup just to be on podcast. [01:04:42] Speaker C: Yeah, same. [01:04:44] Speaker D: That's the. That's real. [01:04:46] Speaker C: Y' all get me at my trolliest, and you're just gonna have to deal with it. [01:04:50] Speaker D: No one can stop. [01:04:51] Speaker B: Hopefully. I want to pick up a Lucha mask in Vegas and start wearing that during the record. [01:04:56] Speaker A: Oh, no one can tell. [01:04:58] Speaker B: I just. I'm gonna sound a little muffled somewhere. [01:05:01] Speaker A: Somewhere. I have soldier ant mask that I got at a Chikara show. [01:05:05] Speaker C: Oh, I want us. I'm not gonna lie. I wanna. [01:05:09] Speaker B: I want to miss it so bad. [01:05:11] Speaker C: But I would probably have to get it custom made because my head is like, just the biggest goddamn head. It's. It's a problem. [01:05:22] Speaker B: That's just Arrow looks like he's got a big head. Like, there's probably. [01:05:31] Speaker C: Well, wait, wait, wait. Obvious answ. [01:05:34] Speaker D: Dos. Yeah. [01:05:36] Speaker A: Oh, wait. He's got, like. [01:05:37] Speaker B: This is more like a Halloween mask. [01:05:42] Speaker A: No, no, no, no, no. That's his actual head. Let's be real. [01:05:45] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah. [01:05:46] Speaker D: Actually, his face. [01:05:47] Speaker A: This is quite insensitive. [01:05:49] Speaker D: It's. [01:05:50] Speaker B: He can't. What might be his chin. [01:05:55] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah. Clip. What might be his chin. [01:05:57] Speaker B: Yeah. Like, this is just. It's a short match. Like, Mansour gets some control. He does some heel stuff. Kevin drop kicks his head off. He hits that big round off a second, gets the pendulum dt, then hits the UFO splash and gets the way. Very good. [01:06:13] Speaker C: It was pretty. [01:06:13] Speaker B: Gets the mic. Yeah. He says that that match felt good. Calls himself Mr. Two Fly in the Mile high city, which I have not heard him called before, but I'm okay with that. I like it. [01:06:23] Speaker C: He's calling some shots. I'm into it. [01:06:25] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. He's what, Jet to fly? [01:06:28] Speaker B: Yep. He is too Blood. Yeah. He says MJF and Hangman are gonna come out and pick the stipulation for their match, but we all know Hangman's gonna win. Kevin says that he wants to throw his name in the hat and be the first challenger. He says that might be a little premature, but to watch him, because not only is he the future, he is the here and the now. Which I'm glad they're. I like that they're going with that direction with this character. Just like. Yeah, you don't have to call me the future. I've been an established wrestler for, like, seven years. Like, I'm a champion across multiple competitions. [01:06:57] Speaker D: I love watching Kevin Night work. [01:07:00] Speaker B: Yeah. That. [01:07:02] Speaker D: I. I mean, squash. [01:07:04] Speaker C: Let's go. [01:07:04] Speaker D: Are. Yeah. Are my favorite. [01:07:06] Speaker B: Genuine superhero. [01:07:08] Speaker D: Yeah. [01:07:08] Speaker B: Like, he's one of those dudes like Claudio, where I'm like, what? That just doesn't track well. [01:07:15] Speaker D: Niles. Even Niles. Nigel Niles or n. [01:07:21] Speaker C: No, it's Niles now, dude. [01:07:23] Speaker D: No, it is [01:07:26] Speaker B: Niles McGinnis. So. Tony Frazier and Niles McGinnis. [01:07:33] Speaker D: Yes. Oh, tossed salad and scrambled eggs. [01:07:38] Speaker B: I've been rewatching Frasier, so. Yeah, sorry. [01:07:42] Speaker D: He mentions how Kevin Knight is, like, goes again, like, the laws of physics. He simply just, like, suspends himself. [01:07:53] Speaker B: It's incredible to watch some of those jumps. He floats in air. [01:07:56] Speaker A: Like. [01:07:57] Speaker B: It's crazy to see this dude move somebody. [01:08:00] Speaker A: Yeah. What did they even say? They said, like, it's. It's like he. He catches in air. Like, he does. [01:08:06] Speaker C: He does, like. [01:08:07] Speaker A: Yeah. Like, double jumps. Like, he actually can double jump. Like he's in Super Smash Brothers or something. [01:08:11] Speaker C: Yeah, like, he. [01:08:12] Speaker B: Like he hits a thermal when he does that thing. He does that run up, jump off the apron into the clothesline, and it genuinely looks like there's a pause, like, before he comes back. [01:08:25] Speaker D: What if he is secretly magic? [01:08:29] Speaker A: What if. What if gravity forgot him and remembered Pac? [01:08:32] Speaker B: If I had magic, like, where I. I would probably use it to become a professional wrestler. [01:08:37] Speaker D: Sure. [01:08:38] Speaker B: Yeah. Why not enough where I don't. Because I don't want people to know I have magic and then, like, be either captured by the government and, like, chopped up and. Or, like, have it be, like, a big part of my. Like, everyone watch from me. I did use it just enough to, like, secretly do the thing I love. [01:08:54] Speaker A: See, unfortunately, I've played enough. [01:08:58] Speaker B: I read Fire Starter. I know what happens. [01:09:00] Speaker A: I've played enough tabletop games that I. I've. All my friends have agreed I cannot be trusted with magic. [01:09:06] Speaker B: No, I agree with that. Yeah. You're the Last person I would give magic, too. Yeah, I think that's a good rule. I would. [01:09:15] Speaker A: I would be. I would be too powerful and I would use it. [01:09:19] Speaker B: Erica, I love you, but. Yeah, I don't have to agree with that. [01:09:23] Speaker A: Yeah. The other thing I learned about playing that character is I don't want that much power. [01:09:30] Speaker B: No. [01:09:31] Speaker A: I want to be left alone. [01:09:34] Speaker B: I just want enough to do Sweet Hurricanes. That's it. [01:09:37] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:09:38] Speaker B: That's all I want. [01:09:39] Speaker D: I just want sweet sobbing into the orb. Her legs too short. Can't do it. [01:09:51] Speaker B: That's the saddest thing that's ever been said on this podcast. Podcast is being sad right now. [01:09:58] Speaker C: My legs are too short. I can't run. [01:10:02] Speaker D: There's no way. [01:10:03] Speaker B: Really short. Hamp like trying to jump up and not getting past the shins. [01:10:11] Speaker A: Yeah, just like kind of scrambling, like. [01:10:14] Speaker D: Yeah, [01:10:16] Speaker A: like when. Like when a cat tries to jump on a thing and misses. [01:10:24] Speaker D: He just falls straight down. [01:10:27] Speaker A: Oh, no. [01:10:28] Speaker C: I can't breathe. [01:10:29] Speaker D: My thighs are too small. I can't capture guys's heads. It's rough. [01:10:34] Speaker B: You need magic. Yeah. [01:10:36] Speaker D: That's why I have my. That's why I'm over there. [01:10:38] Speaker A: Just. You just have to figure out what your skills. [01:10:40] Speaker B: Yeah, you are actually. [01:10:41] Speaker A: You could probably hit a head. Scissors. Damis is like a. Like five foot tall. [01:10:48] Speaker B: Marcos Marco stunt's whole gimmick is he's four feet tall and he hits ranas like that one. [01:10:55] Speaker A: The point is, there's an entire minis division in Mexico. [01:10:59] Speaker D: Good. [01:11:01] Speaker C: Hey, man, what's your thing? Well, I'm four foot tall and I hit Ron. [01:11:05] Speaker B: He had a very solid career. He was on TV because of. [01:11:08] Speaker A: And now he sells what, Kids? That's. [01:11:11] Speaker B: Yeah, he sells cars. Yeah. [01:11:12] Speaker D: It is wild that you bring that up. I just finished December 1996 thank of Monday nights and they had a small per person match. [01:11:22] Speaker C: Oh, you've reached the Max Mini era. [01:11:25] Speaker D: Yes. [01:11:27] Speaker C: Okay. So when I was a child, hampter I. That's incredible. They're incredible. Yeah, that was like. [01:11:38] Speaker D: Yeah. [01:11:38] Speaker C: Also baby's first lucha. It was literally when I went to [01:11:43] Speaker B: WrestleMania weekend with my dad last year. The only wrestler he came out talking about was Microman. [01:11:48] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. [01:11:49] Speaker B: We saw. We saw great wrestlers. We saw some of the best wrestlers. We saw Takeshita. We saw all these amazing wrestlers all week. The only one he gave a about was Microman. He was like, that was the coolest thing I've ever seen. [01:12:02] Speaker D: Takeshita is not a champion. [01:12:05] Speaker B: Yes. [01:12:10] Speaker A: Damn you. [01:12:16] Speaker B: It's really fun to say. We haven't important segment to do before we get to that though. [01:12:22] Speaker C: Yeah, I know, but I love saying it. [01:12:24] Speaker B: We'll get there and we'll all be hardy ones out when we get there. Probably join in because it's very fun [01:12:30] Speaker D: to say, look, I have glasses. I have glasses. [01:12:33] Speaker C: Damn it. [01:12:34] Speaker A: They beat me. [01:12:35] Speaker B: You want to hit a hampter with glasses? [01:12:37] Speaker C: Yeah. Proto Shida is also fun to say, but you can't say it. You can't say it like a cheesy dad. That's the thing is he says it like a cheesy daddy excited about tossing the ball. [01:12:52] Speaker B: And there's not a shared letter like there is with Protocado. [01:12:56] Speaker C: It's like, hey, you want to go? You want to be in a match? Protocado, we're not there. [01:13:02] Speaker A: We gotta go through. [01:13:04] Speaker B: Yeah, I just gotta do this segment [01:13:08] Speaker A: later. [01:13:10] Speaker B: We will, Trust me. It's on the docket yet. But Tony Chavani is in the ring. [01:13:16] Speaker A: Yes, yes. [01:13:17] Speaker B: He is recounting the Hangman and his Cody. [01:13:36] Speaker D: That's a call back. [01:13:38] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:13:39] Speaker B: Runs down. They're picking the step for their match. And with the agreement that if Hangman loses the match at Revolution, he will no longer be able to challenge for the world title a la coat. We start out, Hangman comes out first and I don't really care about that because MJF comes out next and he has a amazing looking flower blazer on. [01:14:00] Speaker C: Oh yeah. [01:14:00] Speaker B: I don't know. [01:14:01] Speaker C: Good stuff. [01:14:02] Speaker B: That was really cool looking. Yeah, Hangman is there. I don't know. [01:14:11] Speaker A: Yeah, he was kind of wearing what he always wears. [01:14:13] Speaker B: So yeah, he was normal looking. [01:14:15] Speaker A: He's like, can we get him a new jacket? [01:14:18] Speaker D: His shirt was super cool that he had the embroidered button down western shirt. That is. [01:14:25] Speaker B: I do like, I do like western style shirts. That was like really big when I was young. Like the hipsters in my area for some reason had a phase where they, they all wore like western like design [01:14:35] Speaker A: shirts like that because they were frontier psychiatrists probably. [01:14:40] Speaker B: They listen to the Locust and like, what are you guys doing wearing girl jeans and cowboy shirts? [01:14:47] Speaker A: What's wrong with the girl jeans? They're awesome. [01:14:49] Speaker C: Nothing. [01:14:50] Speaker B: But that was the trend. Yeah, yeah, yeah. [01:14:54] Speaker C: No, it was a time. It was a time and a place. [01:14:56] Speaker B: There was a particular hairstyle with it. It's not anything bad, it's just that was what the look was and the time that was bad. [01:15:02] Speaker C: You're. Those buttons better be pearled. Yeah, the pearl button. [01:15:06] Speaker B: Yeah, they were very crucial to it. [01:15:07] Speaker D: Yeah. [01:15:08] Speaker A: Pdr, pbr. [01:15:10] Speaker B: They have like an embroidered rose on there for some reason. Sure, [01:15:16] Speaker D: yeah. [01:15:16] Speaker C: How else is someone supposed to know that? I listen to Wilco. [01:15:19] Speaker B: All of them were bands, but none [01:15:20] Speaker C: of them, like, definitely not a woman. [01:15:24] Speaker A: Do you remember that web cartoon called Hipster Hitler? [01:15:28] Speaker C: Hey, I was in a band and I played too many instruments. [01:15:31] Speaker B: You were in a band called Hipster Hitler? [01:15:33] Speaker A: No, no, I was in a band web comic. It was Hitler. [01:15:38] Speaker B: That's a terrible name for a band. That makes sense. [01:15:45] Speaker A: He would wear, like, an ironic shirt that said I heart juice. And. And, like, I would be like, oh, my God. [01:15:53] Speaker D: What the. [01:15:53] Speaker A: He's like, ah, it's ironic. Do you get it? It says. [01:15:56] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:15:57] Speaker A: And then, like, Stalin was like, a frat bro who would dunk on him constantly. [01:16:01] Speaker C: Okay, that tracks. Yeah, no, that's. [01:16:05] Speaker A: That's a web cartoon from the 2010s, folks. [01:16:08] Speaker B: That's. Yeah, everything was. Every single person alive had a web comic at once. [01:16:15] Speaker C: And now everyone has a podcast and we do. So anyway. Podcast. [01:16:20] Speaker B: What were we talking about? Sunrise, Sunset. [01:16:23] Speaker C: Yes. [01:16:25] Speaker D: This is the age of millennial. Sorry. [01:16:30] Speaker B: No, that was good. [01:16:31] Speaker C: Yeah, because you're a millennial and you repeat everything. [01:16:34] Speaker B: Yeah, because that song was featured at the end of 40 year old virgin, and it sticks my mind because of that. [01:16:39] Speaker A: I hate that. [01:16:40] Speaker D: Wow. Yeah. [01:16:41] Speaker B: That movie caused the downfall. Yeah. Hey, we got him. [01:16:46] Speaker C: There's some rails over there. If we could. If we could go get back on them. [01:16:52] Speaker B: We got Max. Talk about Hangman promising not to challenge for the belt. Says Hangman is about to be the second man whose AEW career he ended because he couldn't challenge for the belt anymore. Once again, Cody. [01:17:04] Speaker C: Yes. [01:17:05] Speaker B: Oh, my God. [01:17:06] Speaker C: Hangar Island. Yeah. [01:17:08] Speaker B: Yeah. Cause the Denver audience potheads, which gets weed Chance, which had a great Hangman face where he's looking back and forth like a mysterious, mischievous cartoon cat while they. The crowd is just chanting weed very, very loudly. [01:17:23] Speaker D: Yeah, if you smoke pot, you'll go broke. Smoke dope, you go. [01:17:27] Speaker B: MJF says if you smoke, I don't have any money, so I guess I can't. [01:17:32] Speaker C: I've done the science. [01:17:33] Speaker B: And. [01:17:33] Speaker C: And again, please help. [01:17:36] Speaker B: Yeah, it's. [01:17:37] Speaker C: It's better if you could. And. And if you can't, give it to someone else. In my city and state. They all. We all need it. It sucks. Sorry. I'm so poor. I'm working on it. [01:17:51] Speaker B: Mj. MJF says before I continue, let me throw my gum in the garbage. And then he throws it into the crowd. [01:17:57] Speaker C: Yeah, that was great. Incredible. That. Oh, my God. You know what? [01:18:04] Speaker A: What's that smell. [01:18:05] Speaker C: You know what the kids. Yeah, you know what the kids haven't said on the podcast in a long time? I haven't heard him say. I haven't heard him talk about that stink. [01:18:14] Speaker B: That. [01:18:15] Speaker A: That 79 stank from 1979. [01:18:17] Speaker D: Said the sting. [01:18:18] Speaker C: The stank from 1979. The stank. [01:18:21] Speaker D: What viewers can't see is that there are a bunch of ping pong balls falling on Ella and Erica. That's Captain Kangaroo reference. [01:18:34] Speaker C: Oh, God, I don't even know that one. [01:18:37] Speaker B: Topical. Yeah. [01:18:39] Speaker A: We have got our figure on the [01:18:41] Speaker C: pulse and it's slow, the pulses. [01:18:45] Speaker B: I only know casting kangaroo because of jokes made about Captain Kangaroo being old on old shows I used to watch. [01:18:51] Speaker A: Thank you, Mystery Science Theater 3000 for teaching me. [01:18:54] Speaker C: Yeah, we got the figure on the pulse and I think she might be dead. [01:18:59] Speaker B: Yeah, [01:19:02] Speaker D: I mean, it's part of my thing. [01:19:04] Speaker A: Oh, I was talking about me. [01:19:10] Speaker C: Anyway, rails I got us off. [01:19:12] Speaker B: MJF says he came up with a way for this. To be fair. He says he has a coin in his pocket and that they should flip it to the side. It lands on tails. They do MJF's stipulation. If it lands on heads. They do the Texas Death Match. And MJF says he wants his stipulation to be a one way, no deal DQ match where he can do whatever he wants. And if Hangman even looks at a weapon, he loses instantly. Yes, Hangman, if he is a cowboy or a coward. Hangman's just like, yeah, it. I'll do it. Say anything into response. But then he goes. Says before they flip the coin, he wants MJF to understand what he's doing tonight. Says that Texas Death Match will change you. Says, who will Max be if he breaks glass on the mat and drags him through it? Who will he be if he finds a strand of barbed wire and tears up Max's gum? And if we're lucky, cuts out his tongue too. As who he. Who Max will be if all of his cheating and tricks mean nothing. Says that Max calls himself the devil, but this hell is his. Yeah, I thought that was actually really good. [01:20:17] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:20:18] Speaker B: Oh, Hangman fire right there. [01:20:21] Speaker D: Yeah. [01:20:22] Speaker B: Yeah. He goes off. He says he can beat matching Max in any match, including Max's dog idea, which gets really loud. Dog chants. [01:20:31] Speaker A: I like saying dog, so that's good, no? [01:20:34] Speaker B: Yeah, this Denver crowd was great with this. They were on top. Like, they chose the perfect stuff out of everything to, like, turn into a good moment. [01:20:41] Speaker A: You know why? Because we. [01:20:43] Speaker C: Yeah, you hear that, kids? It Makes you inherently funny and cool looking. [01:20:51] Speaker A: It can be your whole personality, if you let. [01:20:54] Speaker C: Could be your whole thing. Yeah. And it's good for parking. Or I was gonna say, was it good for glaucoma? Is that the bit? [01:21:02] Speaker B: Glaucoma? [01:21:04] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah, that. As we were talking about millennials, that was, in fact, I believe, a billion. [01:21:11] Speaker B: Oh. [01:21:12] Speaker C: Oh, no, it's half baked. No, that was half baked. It's good for your guac because the. [01:21:16] Speaker B: The son and the dad both smoking weed in other rooms trying to figure out how they can bond with each other. Good for my arthritis too. [01:21:24] Speaker C: That's what it is. Glaucoma is the excuse. My dad used. [01:21:28] Speaker B: Somebody whose entire personality is weed. I can quote that movie from beginning to end. [01:21:33] Speaker C: Same before I even smoked it. Which has made Dave Chappelle a big. [01:21:39] Speaker B: Yeah. Let me tell you, I love that movie before I ever smoked. Yeah. And Jim Brewer, he sucks, too. [01:21:44] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:21:44] Speaker B: God. Jesus. [01:21:46] Speaker A: That's right. [01:21:47] Speaker B: I don't know about Harlan Williams. He seems. Maybe he's okay. He might suck. [01:21:51] Speaker C: I think I've seen him on. On. On the. Someone Please, for love of God, Kill Tony, that show. Yeah. [01:21:58] Speaker B: I was gonna say, actually, I feel like Harlan Williams kind of ended up sucking too, if I remember right. [01:22:03] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:22:04] Speaker A: If they were comedian in the 90s. [01:22:06] Speaker C: Yeah. No, no, I don't think anyone got out of that. Yeah. [01:22:09] Speaker B: He probably said I've talked about before, like, I love Dr. Cass, professional therapist, but I'll be watching through that show. I'm just like, oh, this person, this person, this per. God damn. Where's my. [01:22:18] Speaker C: Come on. Out of that movie. I think if I really think back to it, I think maybe the horse that died. [01:22:27] Speaker B: Right. I think Stephen. [01:22:29] Speaker C: Stephen Wright. Yeah, I was gonna say Stephen Wright. Janine Garofalo and maybe Willie Nelson. He's not dead yet. [01:22:36] Speaker A: There's still not dead yet. I mean, John Stewart's not terrible. [01:22:43] Speaker C: Don't get me started. [01:22:45] Speaker B: We can't do this. [01:22:46] Speaker C: I'm trying. [01:22:47] Speaker B: I'm trying to keep us in this movie. Yeah. We can't go down all the cameos in that movie. [01:22:53] Speaker A: He's just very. That's all. [01:22:56] Speaker B: Yeah. Oh, that's fair. [01:22:57] Speaker A: He doesn't want me. Let's say, girl, [01:23:02] Speaker C: he doesn't want me dead. I just don't see him doing much anyways. [01:23:07] Speaker B: Crying. I'm trying. Says hangman. Says he wants this to be it. And he wants to leave no doubt in the end who the better man is. So if he can't be a piece of like Max, he Doesn't deserve that belt. Which gets piece of chance. Denver, we love you. [01:23:27] Speaker C: Look, they are very high, okay. They see the ball, they say ball. You know [01:23:35] Speaker D: it's true. [01:23:36] Speaker B: During, during those weed chants they cut to the ground, there are people standing up like angrily shaking their fists while chanting weed. Yeah, they were very bad. More passionate about that than anything. [01:23:50] Speaker A: Oh. [01:23:52] Speaker B: Hangman says he knows and understands Max and he says he feels like a lucky shot. So let's flip that coin. Max says he's feeling lucky too and flips the coin. Tony looks at it on the ground, calls the tails and they announced there will be a one way no DQ match. The all is lost. [01:24:08] Speaker D: It's heads, not tails. [01:24:10] Speaker B: Was it okay? Yeah. Either way Max wins. [01:24:15] Speaker C: Oxtar sharp. Max wins. [01:24:17] Speaker B: Yeah. Max goes to leave and Hangman gets the mic and says wait a minute, let me see. [01:24:23] Speaker C: Colombo, you here? One more thing, one more thing. Let me see that quarter. Like I know you, Max, you're a dick. [01:24:31] Speaker B: Not suspiciously says no and tries to leave. [01:24:36] Speaker C: Yeah, no, he tries. [01:24:38] Speaker B: Yeah. I think we all know where this is going to stop him. [01:24:43] Speaker C: Then Brody does and then Brody with a, with a hermano with him. Yes. [01:24:48] Speaker B: Yep. Hey, man. Says that he knew that Max was full of and to give him the corridor. Max tries just to run through them. They don't grab him and force him back in. And they show the quarter and show that it was double sided. [01:25:06] Speaker D: Get another quarter. [01:25:08] Speaker B: Yeah, I don't. They start asking for another quarter. I think at that point. Yeah, on his earpiece. Yeah. And says that since Max ring rigged the coin toss, the result is null and void and it's going to be a Texas death match, [01:25:22] Speaker C: which is a good way to just give. [01:25:24] Speaker A: I like it. Don't flip another coin. Don't worry about it. [01:25:27] Speaker B: And it was, it's dastardly heel stuff. Max is good when he is like this schemy little dude. Like that. And it was, we all knew it was a double sided quarter like from the start. [01:25:40] Speaker A: As soon as he said I've got. Right, I gotta. I've got a quarter right here in my pocket. As soon as he said that and [01:25:47] Speaker B: when he actively didn't say call it, we'll call it, he's like, no, if it lands on heads, then I win. Like to be. It's like, I almost thought Hangman was gonna say like, okay, we'll do it, but if it lands on heads, I win. It's still a 50. 50. [01:26:01] Speaker D: Oh yeah. [01:26:02] Speaker B: But I look, I like the way they did it. I thought it was he didn't even [01:26:05] Speaker D: let Tony pick up the coin. He's just like there, see it and then he. He picks it up and he just puts it back and starts heading out. [01:26:13] Speaker A: It was so obvious like that. That's what I liked about it. It was like it was such. [01:26:16] Speaker B: Yeah, it was fun. Dastardly heel stuff. [01:26:20] Speaker A: Yeah, it was dastardly healed but it was nightly whiplash. Like it was such a low rent scam. [01:26:29] Speaker C: Perfect is a good way of putting it. Yeah, that's perfect. [01:26:35] Speaker D: I want to see him broken and bleeding. [01:26:40] Speaker C: We'll get there. It's gonna happen. [01:26:44] Speaker B: That's gonna be a great match. Like it's gonna absolutely rule. I'm sure of that. Max is great in like stiff matches. Like he doesn't do them a lot but when he does they're usually. He goes all out for them. And this is where Hangman shines. [01:27:00] Speaker C: I don't know how or when I'm going to watch Revolution but it's gonna hurt and it's gonna be amazing. Hampter and we'll find a way. I don't know how. [01:27:11] Speaker D: Yeah. Where there's a will, there's a way where the. [01:27:17] Speaker C: Where there's a daily motion, there's a prey. [01:27:20] Speaker D: True. [01:27:21] Speaker B: They do a video package about the brawling birds which is Alex Windsor and Jamie Hayter and talks about them winning last week and has like a little cuts to them backstage last week and they say they got a couple words from the birds. [01:27:38] Speaker C: The brawlin ones. [01:27:39] Speaker B: Yeah. This is a. They say a lot of British stuff. A lot of British stuff in a very, very short amount of time. [01:27:46] Speaker A: They're very British. [01:27:47] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:27:48] Speaker B: They say they whooped ass and they aren't here to shake hands and have a jolly good time. They're here to kick ass. Says they don't give a flying because they are birds. Jamie asks if Alex is parched and they go out for pints. And that's the segments. They are very British. [01:28:03] Speaker D: They were very good. Yeah. [01:28:05] Speaker B: I like them both and they were great as a tag team and I think it's a fun addition. It's just that is quite clearly what the gimmick is here. [01:28:13] Speaker A: I love that their catchphrase was like. She's like. Was it Windsor said like, we don't give. We'll fight whoever you are. We don't give a. And then. [01:28:22] Speaker B: Yeah, don't give a flying. [01:28:24] Speaker A: We don't give up because we're birds. [01:28:29] Speaker B: That was very fun. [01:28:30] Speaker A: That was great. [01:28:32] Speaker B: Y they do have good. They both seem like they're pretty like Fun, goofy people. They do play off each other well. [01:28:38] Speaker D: Yeah. I'm excited to see more than just a squash match from them. [01:28:43] Speaker B: Yeah, I, I'm glad they're filling out the women's tag division, though. [01:28:47] Speaker D: It wasn't a squash. Sorry. It was more than three minutes. [01:28:50] Speaker B: Semi squash. Yeah. [01:28:51] Speaker D: Yeah. [01:28:52] Speaker B: This has been quantified. [01:28:54] Speaker D: I, I, I listen to the cast. [01:28:58] Speaker A: Somebody's gotta. [01:28:59] Speaker B: Yeah. Speaking of women's tag matches, we've got a women's tag title match between Mega Bad, who are Linacross and the Baby Tag Team Championship. [01:29:12] Speaker D: Shenanigans forever. [01:29:13] Speaker B: There's good stuff here and there's some stuff that is a shame that we'll do it. A lot of cool. Between Megan and Willow doing, like, big girl stuff. Really just bashing the out of each other. Will gets to shoulder tackle Megan to the ground. Harley gets in. They do their double sentinel spot. Nigel at one point says boobs of wrath. After Harley and Willow chest bump and seems very proud of that cringe. [01:29:39] Speaker A: It's like Nigel now don't now even [01:29:42] Speaker B: everyone else kind of call it. They're like, come on, dude. And he's like, ah. Like, you are a magician. [01:29:47] Speaker A: I'm very English. [01:29:50] Speaker D: Putting Nile on the strike system. By the end of the episode, he'll [01:29:56] Speaker A: have one you Miles. [01:30:00] Speaker D: Nigel. [01:30:01] Speaker B: I really. I think Niles and Tony and Excalibur is an underrated AEW booth. Like those like, I like. Yeah, yeah. Niles and Tony on Collision are good together, but when you have Excalibur in with the three of them, it's like how I said, I'm gonna call Zach wants Pete Wets. It's just gonna change my vocabulary. And now Nigel is. I almost said Nigels. Now you me over Amper. This is ruined. [01:30:25] Speaker A: Well, first it was Miles. Now he's Nile, and now he's my Nigels. [01:30:31] Speaker B: Nigels. Yeah, plural. [01:30:33] Speaker C: We'll see where we land next week. [01:30:35] Speaker A: He'll be Rigel. [01:30:36] Speaker B: Gotta call exterminator. We got bad kissing Nigels [01:30:42] Speaker D: game plans for Nigel. [01:30:44] Speaker B: Okay, so here's some stuff that happens. Oh. Oh. Right after this, Mega Bay hits her big tilpay suicida. And Penelope Ford goes to the top and hits a moonsault from the outside. Going to commercial. And she is not caught at all. [01:31:03] Speaker C: Yeah, it was rough. [01:31:05] Speaker B: It was very hardly. It looked like if Harley stepped back, because I think Harley was misjudging, like, how far out she was gonna go. Like, Willow tried to run under, but Harley kind of like moved backwards and Penelope lands right in between them, like, on her Barely an arm underneath her ankles. Yeah, yeah. [01:31:26] Speaker A: Like, she even like audibly says, like, as she hits, like I up my ankle. [01:31:33] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. It was the Jake Doyle all over again. Oh, yeah. [01:31:39] Speaker A: The. [01:31:39] Speaker B: Basically what happens is they come back from commercial, they're Harley's kind of fighting back. Willow gets in, runs wild on Megan Bain, hits a big spine buster. Well, hits a German on Megan, gets her outside for the cannonball. Megan shoves Willow into the corner inside. And then Lena comes cross, comes in with the belt and nails Willow for the dq. Because what happened is Penelope Ford was genuinely hurt. She completely up her ankle. They hit. Yep. They had to call an audible because they didn't want to have a heel. Megan Bane fighting from underneath against two faces. Just dynamically it didn't work. But they had. Doctors came out, escorted her back. I am, from what my online stuff I've seen, you know, this is dirt sheet stuff. So take it all with a grain of salt. They thought she had broken her ankle, but they're thinking it wasn't as bad as they thought it was initially. [01:32:27] Speaker A: Right. [01:32:28] Speaker B: Oh, it's. Yeah. At least that's what people are saying. Like, who knows how true that is or anything. She's probably. It sucks. She just came back from injury. [01:32:37] Speaker D: Yeah. [01:32:38] Speaker B: I was wondering. [01:32:39] Speaker A: Yeah, they. They cut up. [01:32:40] Speaker B: She got injured the last time doing the same spot with people not catching her. [01:32:44] Speaker D: Like, oh, my God. [01:32:45] Speaker A: Although that was her. That was her arm that time. This time it was her ankle. [01:32:49] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, they should not do this unless they do, like, what the Joshis do or there's like seven people out there catching them. Like, it might look a little goofy sometimes with like the other outside wrestlers and. But like it's getting. [01:33:05] Speaker A: Yeah. Two people and it's just shortening her career at this point. If, like, they're not going to do it right. Like, I. I know accidents happen and all that, but like, Penelope Ford is like. [01:33:17] Speaker B: Yeah, she's. [01:33:18] Speaker A: She's really good and she's going to be like, they. They're clearly. [01:33:22] Speaker B: This keeps happening. [01:33:23] Speaker A: Being a part of which I have division. [01:33:26] Speaker B: I'm guess it's good. Lena crosses there. So they still have like a team to go through it, but it's just like, this sucks. Like, come on. It's bad. Yeah, yeah, yeah. [01:33:35] Speaker A: I think on commentary even noted that Penelope was hurt. [01:33:39] Speaker B: Yeah. They said she's still down on the outside. And when Lena ran in, that was [01:33:43] Speaker A: when, like, I kind of got like the idea that, like, oh, something's happened here. [01:33:49] Speaker B: Yeah. The fact they even Mentioned it. [01:33:51] Speaker A: And like, even like that, that finish just felt, like, so weird. Like, that was like you could. [01:33:57] Speaker B: Yeah, that was the plan. Yeah. Did not see it. Didn't make sense, like, why they would do that or anything. Like, why just cost yourself a title match for no reason, basically, if she wasn't. [01:34:09] Speaker D: Yeah, yeah. [01:34:11] Speaker B: But you do what you got to do. I mean, it's. It's wrestling. It's live entertainment where people get hurt, and we all obviously wish her the best, and hopefully she heals up soon and can come back and do awesome wrestling stuff with her giant tall ladies that she has now. Yeah, she did. She did cut a. They did a promo with Mega Bad and Lena Cross afterwards that I think they put on social media where Penelope's on the crutches and she got a really good promo saying she's not done and she's coming back and all that stuff. [01:34:40] Speaker A: Destiny deferred. I think she said it was. [01:34:43] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:34:44] Speaker D: Oh, yeah. That's nice. [01:34:45] Speaker B: Luckily, though, this leads us on to some meat. We got Brody King versus Mark Davis and just some slapping ass. These are burly boys. [01:35:04] Speaker C: Yep. [01:35:05] Speaker B: I can't remember if it's at the start, but we get. We get dueling down callous. Ice. Chance going back and forth. [01:35:12] Speaker D: Yes. [01:35:13] Speaker C: Like I said, Don and callous and eyes. [01:35:17] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:35:23] Speaker A: Down callous. [01:35:26] Speaker B: I think they reversed it at one point. [01:35:28] Speaker C: I love pro wrestling crowd. I like pro wrestling. [01:35:34] Speaker B: Los Angeles is gonna shake the building with that. [01:35:37] Speaker C: Topanga. Topanga and I went to a local wrestling show, and there was, in fact, both ice and ice out. Chance, I thought you'd say. [01:35:49] Speaker B: And Don kls Chance. [01:35:51] Speaker D: Wow. [01:35:51] Speaker B: It wasn't even there. [01:35:52] Speaker C: I tried, but it was. It didn't. [01:35:54] Speaker A: It didn't. [01:35:57] Speaker B: Yeah. This is basically. It is a big dude match. Like, it starts off with them kind of test some strikes against each other. A lot of shoulder. Shoulder tackles and big chops. Chops back and forth. Davis gets a thumb to Brody's eye. Brody has his nasty sentine. This is really like. It's this continuation of showing Mark Davis off as a talent and, like. Yeah, he's just delivering every single time. [01:36:20] Speaker D: And he's working with that up hand from last week because mox or because he. He swung and missed. High risk maneuver, baby. [01:36:29] Speaker A: Oh, what did we say that we were gonna call him? Now he's fingers. [01:36:34] Speaker B: Fingers Mark hand. Davis, the worst James Bond villain, I think it was. Yeah. [01:36:51] Speaker A: Sorry. [01:36:53] Speaker B: No, that was great. Yeah, Brody. Brody has a huge Death Valley driver on Mark. Just a lot of, like, you're seeing some cool Displays of strength between these guys. Brody goes for his dive to the outside. Mark just smashes him on the face with his hurting hand right before they go to commercial. And he's selling the hand again and everything. So it's a good, like, thorough line through the story they did. During the commercial break, Brody hits a huge superplex on Mark Davis. I was very bummed, and it was on, like, the regular broadcast because it looked amazing. [01:37:22] Speaker A: It was. I love what they do. There's been some, like, really good superplexes I've seen, like, in the last year. [01:37:29] Speaker B: I love big guys doing them to big guys where it literally, like, you see it. It hits, and the ring vibrates. [01:37:38] Speaker A: The one that I'm thinking of was, like. It was in New Japan. It was Takeshita vs Oleg early last year. They did, like, the slowplex. [01:37:49] Speaker B: Yeah. I think that was their G1 match, maybe. [01:37:52] Speaker A: No, I think it was. It might have been for the never, [01:37:54] Speaker B: but, like, was it their title match? [01:37:56] Speaker A: Yeah, first one. The first one. But, like, they did the slowest superplex, and, like, they ex. Both explode when they hit the ring. It's awesome. [01:38:06] Speaker B: Yep. Everybody should check out Bolton all out, because he's, like, one of the best things going in New Japan right now. [01:38:12] Speaker D: Even the commentary is just, like, the floor is shaking. [01:38:16] Speaker C: We felt that. [01:38:17] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:38:19] Speaker B: Get a good fight going in the ring. They get to the outside, and Brody puts Mark in the cup chair and hits him with a splash, which is always a really cool spot. Brody's that cannonball. Mark gets the sleeper. Brody stomps Mark's hand. He, like, kind of gets his hand down on the ground and stops the injured hand to escape. So they're continuing that, like, story through of the injured hands. So, like, you're saying a lot of the clotheslines, like, there's not tons of spots in this. It's just these guys wailing on each other and absolutely, like, beating the hell out of each other. [01:38:49] Speaker D: Yeah. [01:38:50] Speaker B: Which actually kind of ended surprisingly, where Brody got the win by hitting Davis with. Hilarious. Yeah. Couldn't. He didn't go for the gonzo bomb or anything on him. He just took his head off with a clothesline. Yeah. It was a sick match, though. I thought that was fun. [01:39:06] Speaker D: I will say this is where. This is where Nigel earns his strike because he talks. Don Callis is talking about, like, par. Par none. Australia breeds the toughest men, toughest people in the world. And Nigel's like, oh, well. They took this uninhabited island and. And civilized it and made it a beautiful place to live and I. I exploded. I was like, listen up, Drip. It wasn't an uninhabited island. Just like you sack of. [01:39:40] Speaker B: Off. I love you. [01:39:44] Speaker A: All right. [01:39:45] Speaker B: Somewhere Brian Danielson is smiling. [01:39:52] Speaker A: He's a drip. It's been a while since anybody's gotten a strike. [01:39:58] Speaker D: Yeah. [01:39:59] Speaker A: You know what? [01:40:00] Speaker C: Yeah. Piper's not here. [01:40:03] Speaker D: Yeah, I will. I'll put. I also wrote Niles on my notes. [01:40:11] Speaker A: Niles. [01:40:21] Speaker B: Brody does get a mic and he calls out swerve. Like we were talking with the earlier promo. Brody says that he is number one in violence and calls himself the most dangerous man in AEW and says that he wants to fight Swerve at revolution in his backyard in Los Angeles. Brody being a big socal guy. Mandido gets the mic and says he wants a fight too. And guess who comes out out. Don Callis and Andrade. He was looking very dapper. I enjoyed his little news Boy cap looking really good. I can't remember if we had said anything up about Don Callis earlier. So I was gonna reference that back, but then I could. I keep thinking Drip. It's all like on the forefront of my mind now. There's no other joke. Don Cock. Drip. Because he's got the dis. [01:41:07] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:41:08] Speaker D: Honestly, if anybody should have it, it's him. [01:41:10] Speaker B: If he ever gets like a big anime sweat drop just from the slit. [01:41:18] Speaker A: That's horrifying and hilarious. Well done. [01:41:23] Speaker B: Yeah, they. They're set up. They don't do a promo or anything. Andre just comes out and they face to face and are setting up what will probably be an amazingly good match. That is going to be awesome with those two. Finally, we're getting to protocol. We got backstage with. [01:41:42] Speaker C: This is gonna be a three hour episode. Jesus. [01:41:46] Speaker B: I'm trying to get through. [01:41:50] Speaker C: This is my fault. This is my fault. [01:41:52] Speaker A: No, it's my fault. [01:41:53] Speaker B: We're on the last segment before the last match. We had four people. It's. Yeah, we're right. We're getting there there. I mean, we won't worry about them. [01:42:02] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:42:02] Speaker B: We go backstage with Renee and Kyle Fletcher. Renee says the industry moves fast. And Chapa says that the belt is still his house. Says Chopper faced him and came up short. Says the belt is no longer his and that Sylvie is now Pinky. [01:42:15] Speaker D: Yeah. [01:42:18] Speaker B: Okada comes out and says that him and Kyle have both consistently been champs, unlike Takeshita. Says Kylo is his. I'm not saying this, Erica. This is. Okay, I'm just quoting. I don't want anything. [01:42:33] Speaker D: He's. As a joke or as a journalist. [01:42:36] Speaker B: This is why you're not allowed to have magic. By the way, [01:42:42] Speaker D: a frog. [01:42:43] Speaker A: You would actually be foot tall in his prime. Hiroshi Tadahashi after a comment. Okada Just like a Kaiju sized young Tanahashi to go after. [01:42:58] Speaker B: Like we said throughout all this, Okada has the biggest just like eating grin on his face. Like he is just such a. [01:43:05] Speaker A: He's such a. [01:43:06] Speaker B: He is. It's so good. He says that Kyle is his best friend and they should team up on collision as protocata. Okay. Kyle agrees. And they are. They all say it, including Renee. She starts saying it too and it's like. But yeah, that is really fun to say. I love when Renee gets in on bits like that. It's so fun and charming. [01:43:33] Speaker A: But no. Once my husband gets his revenge, we will drink from the skull of Kazuchika Okada and then we will call him Kazuchika Okada and then piss on his girl. [01:43:45] Speaker B: Still be smiling. [01:43:46] Speaker A: He will still be smiling. Bastard can't stop that. Anyway, what happened next? [01:43:53] Speaker B: That brings us to our. It brings us to our main event of the night which is the Young Bucks, the Rascals, Jack Perry versus the Demand and fdr. The Rascals represented by Pete Wentz and Desmond Xavier this week for a mile High Madness. Five on five, anything goes. PWG fest. Ass match. [01:44:13] Speaker D: Yeah, my. [01:44:16] Speaker B: To such a degree. [01:44:17] Speaker A: And it was basically admitting in the arena. [01:44:20] Speaker B: Yeah, it really was because they keep Jack Perry's music going like. Like Jack Perry comes out. Is it first? Like first or second? [01:44:29] Speaker A: Yeah, he came out first. That's right. [01:44:33] Speaker D: Yeah. [01:44:33] Speaker B: Yep. And is immediately jumped by the Demand and ftr. The Bucks come out and take everybody out with jumps while Tarzan man keeps playing. Winson Xavier come out and hit big dives and yeah, they just have Tarzan man playing consistently through this. There's a fantastic moment where it stops and then they start playing it again. Yeah. The crowd pops. [01:44:55] Speaker D: Yeah. [01:44:57] Speaker B: Thank you. [01:44:59] Speaker D: And then when they stop playing it, the crowd keeps going, going. Finally when they. [01:45:05] Speaker B: They sang it great too. They were rocking and rolling with this. I have so much written down for this. And like there's so much I know I missed because this is just non stop. [01:45:15] Speaker D: Yeah. [01:45:16] Speaker B: Constant crazy action. [01:45:19] Speaker C: Like. [01:45:19] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:45:20] Speaker B: One of the big like early spots. [01:45:22] Speaker C: It's basically anarchy in the arena. On tv. [01:45:25] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:45:26] Speaker B: More. [01:45:27] Speaker C: It was. [01:45:28] Speaker A: I did the same thing with my notes as you, Jeff. I just was like, I can't keep up with this. I'll write down anything cool that happens. [01:45:35] Speaker B: Yeah. I was basically whenever I looked up from my notes, I had to then write Down. Whatever I saw in that moment, one of the big, like, great early spots is they fight up to the top of this. Fighting through the crowd, doing the split screen thing. They get up to the top, and it's Cash and Nick Jackson are fighting up there. Stokely is in his wheelchair at the top of the stairs for some reason. He, like, comes out of a alcove, grabs. [01:46:00] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:46:01] Speaker B: I don't know what he was doing up there. He's just hanging out again. And Nick grabs him and acts like he's gonna throw him down the stairs, but they gotta get him away. Cash fights Nick to the top of the stairs and uses Stokely as a battering ram to ram Nick Jackson down the stairs. Yeah, Just a tremendously fun spot. [01:46:19] Speaker A: Got big stoke. [01:46:22] Speaker B: Tona pounces Jack over the guard rail into the timekeeper's table, which just looked. He got such air. It was insane. [01:46:32] Speaker D: He did a little, like. He just splayed his little. [01:46:37] Speaker B: He was like. [01:46:37] Speaker D: I want to say star angel, but, like, star. [01:46:39] Speaker B: It was like when DJ Jazzy Jeff got thrown out of the house in Fresh Prince. [01:46:49] Speaker A: That's a cut. Oh, my God. [01:46:54] Speaker B: Yeah. Like you said, the music ends in, the crowd keeps. Does, like, another, like, couple bars of Darzan, man. Just taking it along. [01:47:01] Speaker C: Really fun. [01:47:02] Speaker B: They do some chair duels on the outside. There's some trash can fighting, cycling can fighting. [01:47:09] Speaker D: Yeah, yeah. [01:47:10] Speaker B: Recycling. Yeah. It's important to do both. [01:47:13] Speaker A: The plunder, Daddy. [01:47:14] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. They come on. They come back from commercial, and Tolona has Desmond Xavier up for a slam through the tables, off the stage. But Myron Reed, the third member of the Rascals, comes out with the fire extinguisher and sprays Toa back into the ring with the fire extinguisher and does this crazy spot he does where he runs up the ramp, jumps over the ropes and catches an enclosure. Incredibly smooth. Cutter like. Yeah. Myron Reed is a beast. Like, they really need to be showcasing him because he's a great wrestler. [01:47:47] Speaker A: Getting the Rascals on TV was a good start. [01:47:50] Speaker D: Yeah, yeah. He was just bonkers, bananas. [01:47:55] Speaker B: They're all good. But, like, Myron. Yeah, he's a standout for me. Yeah, he goes. He goes for a dive to the outside, but he gets caught by FTR on the outside. And they throw him. Yeah, yeah. They throw him into a table. Jack takes them out with a dive and out from under the ring, Jack grabs a vacuum cleaner. He said, like, I guess Luchasaurus used it. I do remember that. He, like, came up. They, like, came out with Random from the back. The one time. Yeah. But this vacuum cleaner is full of dirt. [01:48:25] Speaker A: Oh, my God. [01:48:26] Speaker B: It is like. That is like if you vacuumed your house 20 times without. And I feel like they must have just put. Yeah. On the ground. [01:48:36] Speaker A: Oh, I'm sure. Yeah. [01:48:38] Speaker C: Like, I'm sure that was all the ash from the. The floor of Rascal's Green room. [01:48:43] Speaker D: Yeah. Honestly. [01:48:46] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:48:48] Speaker B: Yeah. So Jack smashes totally on it with that vacuum. [01:48:51] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:48:52] Speaker B: It creates a cloud. [01:48:55] Speaker A: I had, like a asthma attack just looking at that. [01:49:00] Speaker D: Nigel couldn't catch his breath. [01:49:03] Speaker B: Yeah. As I've been at wrestling shows where they've used fire extinguishers before. And that get. That alone gets everywhere and it's hard to breathe. It's in your face. That cloud was gigantic. [01:49:15] Speaker D: Yeah. [01:49:16] Speaker B: There's so much. [01:49:17] Speaker D: And then. It's so funny. I called it mist. Like. Sorry. Watching this with my friend, I was just like. Yeah. It's like mistake. The spell, Miss. Where you cast concealment and everything is concealed on the inside and outside. [01:49:31] Speaker B: I thought you meant the video game. There's a lot of levers and puzzles. [01:49:36] Speaker D: Yeah, puzzles. And it's mainly putting people through tables. [01:49:42] Speaker C: I thought you meant the stuff that comes out of the great moon. His mouth. [01:49:46] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:49:46] Speaker A: That's green. [01:49:47] Speaker D: No. [01:49:48] Speaker A: Or red. [01:49:48] Speaker B: There's multiple times with different. Yeah. I was just a. There's different ones that have different powers. That's not always enforced. Yeah. [01:49:56] Speaker A: It depends on where he touches. [01:49:59] Speaker B: There's a science behind. He, like, gets a kid. He, like, gets somebody pregnant with the mist at one point. [01:50:03] Speaker A: Yeah. And they gave birth to Akibon and [01:50:05] Speaker B: they lay an egg. [01:50:06] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:50:07] Speaker B: Yeah. They give birth Acubon. Yeah. [01:50:08] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:50:09] Speaker B: There's a whole lore wrestling is great. Yeah, it is. I love it. [01:50:16] Speaker A: Let's talk about this stupid shit. [01:50:19] Speaker B: Yeah. The Bucks, they tried their stomp power bomb and it was supposed to land on the trash can, but they. They missed the trash can. [01:50:25] Speaker D: Yeah. [01:50:25] Speaker B: But they make it up. They put the trash can on Ricochet's belly. [01:50:29] Speaker C: Like, fine, I'll send Tanya. [01:50:30] Speaker B: Yeah. And hit the big old Swanton onto it. [01:50:35] Speaker A: That's called. [01:50:37] Speaker B: Is that it? Seriously? Oh, that's awesome. I miss them using. I miss them using BOP as their entrance music. Like. Like, that was such fun. 2010 that people would get so mad at. [01:50:50] Speaker D: It's so great. [01:50:52] Speaker B: Only things we get a big old super kick party from the Bucks and the Rascals take their head off. Tables get set up outside. Yeah. Toa double suplexes. Both Bucks in from the apron. All five of the Faces super cake. Toa in the face. [01:51:12] Speaker D: Yeah. [01:51:12] Speaker B: Des hits a crazy shooting star off the top. Like it just. It goes like. It was just crazy bit after crazy bit. Jack gets totally owned up for a pile driver. But Toa back body drops Jack over the ropes and threw a tablet. Land. [01:51:30] Speaker A: It's died. [01:51:33] Speaker B: It did not look like it was supposed to land the way, but I mean, he was okay, luckily. But that was crazy looking. [01:51:39] Speaker D: Literally gasped when I saw him. Precious boy. Jack Perry. [01:51:44] Speaker B: Totally own. Is another one where it's like, I'm glad they give him so much to do because he is really, like, proving himself. And he shows out like every single match. Like con. And Rickshire great too, but totally on. Every time he's in a match now, he. I usually come away remembering at least one thing he did. [01:52:01] Speaker D: I think he's made it his mission to like lift one handed every single, like cruiser weight above his head and just hold him like that. Be like, okay, throw them. Yeah. Hell yes, he could. I think he's done like, he did three probably in that. In that match. [01:52:25] Speaker B: Even doesn't think Zach Wentz is going for like a back handspring and totally headbutts him out of the back head spring in midair. [01:52:33] Speaker A: Disgusting. [01:52:33] Speaker B: It's just. Look, it's. Yeah, it looks so good. Desmond gets double superplexed and then gets two splashes and. Or ricochet. 450 for a near fall. You can't. Dax gets catapulted into Cash's nuts at one point. [01:52:50] Speaker A: Sorry. [01:52:51] Speaker B: Rascals do a double Spanish fly on Ricochet off the barricade through a table, which I've never seen. [01:52:58] Speaker D: Yes. That was sick. [01:53:00] Speaker C: Done before. [01:53:01] Speaker B: I don't think. [01:53:01] Speaker A: Like, that looked ugly too. [01:53:04] Speaker C: And this is when the crowd started counting down tables, which I thought was very. [01:53:09] Speaker B: That was a great. [01:53:10] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:53:11] Speaker B: Two more tables. Yeah, that they. [01:53:14] Speaker C: One more table. [01:53:21] Speaker B: Toe is on the apron. And Jack Sunset flips over him and gets him in powerbomb position. And the Bucks super kick Jack and Or super kick Toa and put him through the table. They do a go for a shatter machine that gets denied. The Bucks throw Cash through the ropes, through for that last table. And he does his crazy ass. The Rascals hit the hot fire flame on Toleona, which is still one of the coolest looking moves in pro wrestling. Like, you sign these people for that move alone. Jack hits a Canadian destroyer on Ricochet. Big bte trigger on Ricochet. The Bucks launch Jack into Ricochet. Hey, did they, like catch him with a DDT off that Launch. Like I was looking at my notes. No, it was the day for this final movie. [01:54:04] Speaker A: It was just. [01:54:04] Speaker B: It was okay. They threw him into the. Into the running knee. Yeah. And that gets the pin in the win. And Jack Perry has pinned Ricochet again three times. That was one of my favorite matches of the year. I really see it. [01:54:20] Speaker A: That was a lot of fun. That was just so much fun to watch. [01:54:24] Speaker B: Yeah, that is my kind of. [01:54:27] Speaker D: Everybody got a really good time in the spotlight and on the, like on the, on the floor too. It was just so good. [01:54:37] Speaker A: It was fun. Like. [01:54:39] Speaker B: Yeah, it was a great way to end the show. [01:54:43] Speaker A: Dynamite's on such a roll right now. Like, holy. [01:54:46] Speaker B: Yeah, it's been great show after great show after. Ever since Jericho left. [01:54:50] Speaker A: Like Jericho left. It's never not true. I mean it did. Did have its down points because, you know, Penelope Ford getting hurt. [01:54:59] Speaker B: Yeah, sure, that's. I was just gonna say the same thing. It's. Yeah, that's a bummer. But that to me isn't. It isn't like an indictment of the quality of the show. It was a well booked show. Everybody did wrestle well. Every segment I found enjoyable. Just an unfortunate part of professional wrestling happened. That does happen sometimes. [01:55:19] Speaker D: Yeah. [01:55:23] Speaker B: Thank you for good stuff. [01:55:24] Speaker A: Thank you. [01:55:24] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:55:25] Speaker A: Yeah, that's good. [01:55:27] Speaker D: Get better soon. [01:55:28] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:55:28] Speaker B: Oh. [01:55:29] Speaker C: What? Happy wrestling. Yeah, right there, wrestling. Have we talked to that part yet? Okay, my bad. [01:55:38] Speaker B: Yeah, we're good. We're just about there. Say, I don't have any other particular thoughts on the show. I thought it was just. Just very, very solid, top to bottom, lots of fun. Cool. [01:55:49] Speaker D: Oh, yeah, it's good. 10 out of 10. [01:55:52] Speaker A: I. I love it. I'm like back in like the mode where I'm excited to watch Dynamite every week again. Which like there was, there was a period where I was like, I don't want to do this. [01:56:03] Speaker B: Yeah, it can get a bit of a lull at times, but this been. They've been hitting on all cylinders like there's nothing particularly bullshit. Smoking wise. I have complaints with. [01:56:13] Speaker A: Actually, I have a complaint. You know what this episode needed. [01:56:16] Speaker B: What's up? Hook Frazier. Look, he's busy on the gym mats. Scrolling Instagram. [01:56:28] Speaker D: He's been rolling on the meta like on the big medicine ball. [01:56:33] Speaker B: I can't wait for Shabbat to come back to be really good when he gets back. I'm the leader. I'm recruiting. [01:56:38] Speaker A: He's recruiting. [01:56:40] Speaker B: I. Even without him on the show, we fit in. Like a 15 minute angry hook rant anyway, like, he doesn't even have to be on the show. He's pissing me off that bad. [01:56:48] Speaker A: Oh, man. That's the title of the episode will be Hook is not appearing in this Dynamite. [01:56:57] Speaker B: Yeah, I think we're still working on some Patreon stuff. We're hoping to do some.
