Lullabies to Pillmanize

[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: Oh, that's right. On the intro now. [00:00:58] Speaker A: Do you want me to do it? [00:01:00] Speaker B: No, I like doing it. Well, go back to Wednesday night fake fights. It's a Mia. Ella. That's me. It's Ella. I made everyone laugh. That's what I could do. And this is a Wednesday night fake fight show where we watch the aew, the Dynamites. Every week we make it your problem. So I am here with my favorite queer wrestling people, Queer wrestling person number one. [00:01:22] Speaker A: Go Warrens. I have a Yingling flight this week, but whatever. I don't give a crap. Wrestling [00:01:35] Speaker B: culture is important. [00:01:36] Speaker A: Culture is important. This is Philadelphia culture. Yingling [00:01:41] Speaker B: speaking. Speaking of culture and the horrible things we do to it. Yo soy A Hampton. Settle. [00:01:53] Speaker C: I am here. I am. I'm coming out. But it's going to be balancing on top of a giant meatball as a nod to our Italian wrestler friend Akira. I also salute, stand and salute for the Italian national anthem. They have one in the right. There's an organ grinder that follows. [00:02:32] Speaker A: No. [00:02:33] Speaker C: Okay, okay. Too far. [00:02:35] Speaker B: You can't be racist against Italians. Ask Ethiopia. [00:02:41] Speaker A: So, yeah, that's Bob Burger already. [00:02:43] Speaker C: Bob Burgers already did it. [00:02:45] Speaker A: Yeah, everybody's already done it. [00:02:48] Speaker C: Everybody's already done it. [00:02:49] Speaker B: Oh, I always think of that there's an episode behind the Bastards, which I think. I think it might have been Jamie Loftus that was the guest where she, like, realized she put together that Mario is racist. It's a meme. Oh, my God. Is that racist? Super racist. That's very racist. But it's okay because you can't be racist against Italians because of Ethiopia. [00:03:14] Speaker A: I was. I was thinking about the oh, God, the. The lines Led by donkeys episode where they talked about the first time Italy tried to invade Ethiopia. And they. They opened it with like, yes, they. They, like. I think even the description is like, Italy sends over about, like, a hundred thousand soldiers to get turned into fine ragu. [00:03:35] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Exactly. Yeah. This is where we get marinara. [00:03:43] Speaker C: Yeah, that's. Yeah, no, it's a deep, rich Heritage. And it's just silly gooses. Some. Like, sometimes it's more. It's earned its ire. And it's. It's not Irish LS just. [00:04:01] Speaker A: Just like the Ethiopian flag should just be somebody dabbing on an Italian. Corpse of an Italian. [00:04:11] Speaker C: No, it's like. It's. It's like Calvin pissing on the. Very Florida truck. [00:04:25] Speaker B: So this has been. This has been history. The history show for your wrestling. [00:04:34] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:04:35] Speaker B: We all. We all have other interests. Okay. It can't all be goofs and grabs and. Okay. [00:04:42] Speaker A: We might have to retire. No. Well, I guess we can't because now Guts is apparently a big hit. Whenever I talk about Blue Sky, [00:04:53] Speaker B: Guts is canon. [00:04:56] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:04:56] Speaker B: I have a knee Guts. [00:04:59] Speaker C: You know what? So does Kyle Fletcher. [00:05:01] Speaker B: Kyle Fletcher has a everything. [00:05:03] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:05:04] Speaker C: Damn. [00:05:06] Speaker A: Damn. [00:05:06] Speaker B: I'm so sad. I'm sad. Is like, one of my favorite wrestlers. He's got a everything. [00:05:14] Speaker A: I thought it was just his ankle that's up. [00:05:16] Speaker C: It's his knee. [00:05:17] Speaker B: It's his knee. [00:05:18] Speaker C: He has a torn meniscus. [00:05:20] Speaker B: Oh. [00:05:21] Speaker A: Oh, okay. [00:05:22] Speaker C: Well, so we don't. And it, like, it's. So it's a pretty common knee injury. It deals with the cartilage around the knee and. But it's unclear if it's gonna make surgery or just like, PT in time and stuff like that. So that's unclear. [00:05:36] Speaker A: I think we have to, like, define it as like a pussy body part. Is such as, like, Commentary won't stop talking about it. Other wrestlers won't stop targeting himself. Can't stop talking about it. [00:05:51] Speaker C: Okay. [00:05:51] Speaker A: Like, yeah, we gotta wait for Kyle to come back. [00:05:55] Speaker C: Yes. [00:05:56] Speaker B: So we don't know. We don't know yet what part of his body has been implicified. [00:06:04] Speaker A: I'm just. [00:06:05] Speaker C: You know what? [00:06:05] Speaker A: That. Will Ospreay's neck got bottom surgery before me. Yeah. [00:06:14] Speaker B: Good. [00:06:14] Speaker A: First. [00:06:15] Speaker C: You know what? I bet Will's kind of pissed about that too. [00:06:18] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:06:23] Speaker C: Side note real quick. Is James not. Is Windsor his fiance? [00:06:29] Speaker B: They're married. Osprey. Yeah. [00:06:32] Speaker A: I don't know if they're married. I know. [00:06:33] Speaker B: I thought they were married. [00:06:34] Speaker A: They might be. Like, just like. I. I don't. I don't know what their actual status is, but they are in a relationship. [00:06:40] Speaker C: Okay. I liked. Because Commentary called them fiance and I was like, is that true? [00:06:49] Speaker A: For a long time I thought it was, like, not official. They were just like, you know, like the kind of couple that's, like, together and like, oh, they're married, but they're not actually married. [00:06:57] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:06:58] Speaker B: So, like, it's not Official. But she knows where the bodies are, you know. [00:07:02] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:07:05] Speaker B: Common law. Yeah. [00:07:07] Speaker A: Anyway, also, we are. Oh, go ahead. [00:07:09] Speaker C: No, go ahead. [00:07:10] Speaker A: Sorry. No, no, no, no, no. [00:07:11] Speaker C: Because I was gonna be like. Also, I loved this intro and. Which I'm assuming you were also. [00:07:16] Speaker A: Oh, no, I was gonna let us know that we were in Dynamite. Was in Edmonton and I get to talk about that. Edmond. It was actually in Edmonton this week. And now we get to talk about Pink Eye. Pink Eye, the river monster that lives in Edmonton. River that looks like it's got like a fucking elephant head and tusks and fangs and it. And it might be a moose, but it's called pink eye. [00:07:39] Speaker C: So it is wild to me that all of these things. I'm sensing a pattern, which is that all of these cryptids may be moose, but are actually supremely up in nature. Like the eel with the sheep's head. And now this is. This is a. It's a. [00:07:59] Speaker A: It might be a must. [00:08:00] Speaker C: An elephant headed. And it's also. [00:08:03] Speaker A: Yeah, but it's. It's not. It's not like a long, sneaky thing. It's like. It's more like a fish kind of thing, is my understanding. So, like, you know, there's like those maps with like, here be monsters. And it's like lion head fish. It's like, it's like. [00:08:16] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's pretty cool. [00:08:20] Speaker A: I think it's like. It was like. You can see why I wanted to talk about this last week. Because this is much cooler than that other thing, though, thing that's like Kenny's intestines [00:08:28] Speaker C: created by Kenny. The 24 inches of his. [00:08:33] Speaker A: The cryptid bit stays because apparently it does numbers. [00:08:37] Speaker B: Oh. [00:08:38] Speaker C: I mean, I demand it, honestly. [00:08:41] Speaker B: Look, we all love guts, okay? But it's not as bad as the ghost of George C. Scott, who now just lives in the studio. But like, that was a bit that would never go away. [00:08:54] Speaker A: It's gonna come back, don't worry. But yes, we. We are in Edmonton for Dynamite. And we opened with. Ah, God. See, like, I came in a little bit late and I saw a clip of the full segment. So, like, I sort of missed how it started out. Like, I forget if it starts on the Death Riders or if it starts on Will and Alex Windsor getting out of Coming out. Yeah, like, but like, Will and Alex looked like they came from like the nightclub from Blade from just basically the way that Alex is dressed. Yeah, but like, they're just nice pulls out. Yeah. [00:09:29] Speaker C: Pulls up. [00:09:30] Speaker A: And like. [00:09:31] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:09:31] Speaker A: Death Riders are like jets versus sharks. Let's go and says, hold on, I've got the jets. And then like the, the Escalade pulls up and Francesco Akira Hinare and the new IWGP Heavyweight champion and the youngest ever as they will let us know repeatedly, IWGP Heavyweight champion Callum Newman emerge. They just start having a gang war in the parking lot. [00:10:03] Speaker B: It was pretty sick. I. I like me some good old fashioned like standoff gang war. And they did it. [00:10:09] Speaker A: War. [00:10:10] Speaker B: Yes. Mox was about to start busting into like some Fosse choreography that was really. He's been working on it all week. Renee is so annoyed. So like. But it's gonna be worth it. Yeah, yeah. When you're a death rider, you're a death ride. No, that don't work. [00:10:32] Speaker A: I'll think of something by the end of this. Yeah, we'll get there. [00:10:35] Speaker B: We'll get there. [00:10:36] Speaker A: Yeah. So they, they, they all just fight and work there. They like, there's so much happening. They work their way out to the ringside area and United Empire kind of take control of the ring and chase off the Death Riders. And will lays out the challenge for chaos in Canada. Death Riders versus United Empire. Or as I phrase it, the heroic Death Riders versus the dastardly imperialists. [00:11:14] Speaker B: Yes. [00:11:15] Speaker C: So, yeah, well, there's one imperial couple of imperialists and then, well, somebody Hanar is a native, so. And then the Italian. Well, can't colonize anything. [00:11:31] Speaker B: They tried. They're not good. [00:11:32] Speaker C: Yeah, it's just, just, it's. [00:11:35] Speaker A: It's Italy, the fail son of colonial Europe. Yeah. [00:11:41] Speaker C: Bastard White's the bastard son. You're just like, yeah, I guess, whatever. [00:11:48] Speaker A: We united our kingdom. That's very good. Italy. [00:11:52] Speaker C: Yeah. Yeah. After our civil war, right. [00:11:55] Speaker B: We're doing the genocide. [00:11:58] Speaker A: Can we go have Ethiopia? Sure. Nobody tell them. Nobody tell them. Be so funny. [00:12:07] Speaker C: Be so funny. Watch this. [00:12:09] Speaker B: Oh my God. This is gonna be the first episode of our show that like sends people to like lions led by donkeys and like other like, we don't. I don't understand the, the military in European colonial history that these three are talking about. So like, yeah, in order to get this joke, read other things or listen to other podcast. [00:12:32] Speaker A: Go. Go look for the. The Italian invasion of Ethiopia episode alliance led by donkeys. Yeah, they have no idea who we are. [00:12:41] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. No. Yeah, they've no idea who we are. Just fans. They know their. [00:12:49] Speaker A: All right, so after that whole donnybrook goes down, Don Callis is here and he's talking about Kyle Fletcher's injury tells us that the TNT title is vacated. And there it's going to be decided in like a new champion is going to be decided in a casino gauntlet match at Dynasty. [00:13:11] Speaker B: I love those. I'm a big fan of them. [00:13:14] Speaker A: They're really fun. We'll see what they have in store because usually they have like surprises lined up in advance. And now it's just kind of like, oh no, what do we do? Oh God, yeah, we'll see. He claims that he was trying to negotiate a big match between Protocata and the Young Bucks. But that has fallen through and lets us know that Takeshita and Okada won't wrestle each other ever because he calls the shots. And this family stays together and they don't. They don't fight. They don't do that. [00:13:46] Speaker B: Okada and Takesha seemed pretty upset about this news. [00:13:49] Speaker A: But yeah, they were not too thrilled with it. [00:13:53] Speaker B: Yeah, they're very ready. [00:13:55] Speaker C: They don't know that. They don't know the rule. They don't know. They don't know the Don Callis rule, which is it's not, it's going to. And if it's going to, it's not. [00:14:06] Speaker B: Don't mind me. I'm just, I'm just over here mourning the end of the protocata gimmick. I know, but I'm not gonna get to hear him say it. [00:14:16] Speaker A: Well now, now we just get, now we just get more of like I was there to take care of Kyle while he was hurt. I note this later on after that happens. But like they have such a big brother, little brother relationship. [00:14:37] Speaker C: Yes. [00:14:38] Speaker A: Where like Okada, like is very, very obviously saying something to get under to cash, to skin and to cash. It just goes like, like they, they fight so well together that you would swear to God they, they were trained in the same dojo and like, like they came from the same school of Japanese wrestling, but they have like two entirely different career trajectories. Like, God, it's funny. Fortunately, this goes right into the next match. It's a trios match which is Don Cal's family, Takeshita Andrade and Mark Davis, AKA Team Handsome versus Bandito. Jack Perry and also Darby Allen is there. [00:15:22] Speaker C: Hello, guys. I did some math. Now this is rough, so bear with me. Coming in with the Jack Bandido and Alan, we're co opping 576 versus the Don Callis family at a 702 difference being 126 between these two groups. Which is very funny to me or like noticeable to me. [00:15:53] Speaker B: Fair enough. [00:15:54] Speaker A: Wow. [00:15:55] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:15:57] Speaker A: After doing the journalism, I'm so proud of you calling him professor today. [00:16:08] Speaker B: Iron mike. Haptor sero. That does not mean. [00:16:12] Speaker A: Oh, God. [00:16:12] Speaker C: Yeah, you know what? Okay, [00:16:19] Speaker A: That's. That got the approval. Okay. [00:16:21] Speaker C: Yeah, we got the nod. It just took for a while for it to sink into my brain, so. [00:16:26] Speaker A: So Brody was originally supposed to be in this match, but he is apparently attending a funeral for a friend. [00:16:34] Speaker B: Personal. Yeah, he just said personal reasons is all they said. And I was like, oh, I hope he's okay. Brody. [00:16:39] Speaker C: Yeah, he's fine. [00:16:40] Speaker A: Yeah, I think it was on. It was on Instagram. He posted something that he was attending, like some kind of memorial service. [00:16:47] Speaker B: Oh, that sucks. [00:16:48] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:16:50] Speaker B: Thankfully, he has a hermano who is really. [00:16:54] Speaker A: He could summon Mr. Bandito for this match. [00:16:59] Speaker C: You could take Mark Davis, right? You can. You can. [00:17:02] Speaker B: Who is not having visa issues in Canada. [00:17:05] Speaker A: Yeah, I. I am quite certain that bandido could press slam. Mark Davis. [00:17:11] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. Bandido is horrifyingly strong. Like, he. He's very. He's pushing Claudio Levels of, like, where is it coming from? [00:17:21] Speaker A: But he's. He's always like, a short guy, so it's like, when he does that press slam, he looks, like, adamant. [00:17:28] Speaker B: Yeah, [00:17:31] Speaker C: yeah. [00:17:32] Speaker A: It's like a little guy just carrying a giant dude over his head with one hand. Like, God damn, man. [00:17:38] Speaker B: Christ. Oh, my God. Mr. Bandito. So every day. Every day I worry that I didn't get him the right size t shirt. That 2 XL wasn't big enough because of his strong arms. Every time I see him on tbm, like, I don't know. He's gonna break right through. Through it. Look at him. He's jacked. Like, ah, huge arms. [00:18:01] Speaker A: Large man. [00:18:02] Speaker B: Large man. He's gonna look so cute in that little T shirt right off him. [00:18:07] Speaker A: Explodes when he, like, explodes when he flexes. [00:18:11] Speaker B: Yes. [00:18:12] Speaker A: Oh, no. They. Darby and Andrade are going to wrestle at the pay per view. So, like, of course, they start out in the match, and Andrade just walks away and leaves him to Takeshita, and he. He gets a code red, but then, like, everybody just kind of jumps him. [00:18:32] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:18:33] Speaker A: And then there's some dives, and Andrade. When I say Andrade walks away, like, he leaves. He just leaves the arena. So Darby gets a mic and calls him a. A couple times. [00:18:45] Speaker C: Don Callis's. [00:18:47] Speaker A: Yeah. Why are you taking orders from Don? [00:18:51] Speaker B: He has a few only fans. Models that he has to go meet up with. He was done. Y' all got the time that was allotted to you? Okay. He was a very busy man. [00:19:01] Speaker A: Listen. The most in demand Crotch in the northern. In this hemisphere. [00:19:07] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:19:10] Speaker A: Crotch. I would love to see somebody try and pitch that as a gimmick. It's like I have the most in demand crotch. Tony, you can put that on a T shirt with like an arrow pointed down. All right. Y. So Andrade just comes back and like that, he's like, talking with Darby. And Teshta comes up and hits like a double rolling chaos theory German suplex on the rip, which looked funnier than it looked painful, but like, yeah, good. And like, now that Darby's dead, Don can appear and go to the. Go to the booth. [00:19:49] Speaker B: They can cleared it out for you, [00:19:51] Speaker C: dad, on the commentary. [00:19:52] Speaker B: Yeah, I got it. It's good. You can do it. [00:19:55] Speaker A: Now Jack Perry does some Lucha stuff and hits a moonsault low bridges. Mark Davis, Don and Shivani are arguing about a slip up. And then Takesha. Well, like, while they're doing that, stuff is happening in the ring. And Takeshita takes Jack Perry's head off with an elbow. [00:20:14] Speaker C: Why did. Yeah, why did. Why did Dant say Jackson was in with the Callous family? Or is. Is this like, once again, what John says is a lie? [00:20:26] Speaker A: He. He wants him in father, but okay, [00:20:29] Speaker B: yeah, he wants him. [00:20:30] Speaker A: He wants him. I just have a note again that the Don Cow's family side of this match is extremely attractive. [00:20:38] Speaker B: Yeah, they all are. Very pretty. [00:20:40] Speaker A: Yeah, there's like kind of a. Kind of a nothing heat segment on Jack. [00:20:45] Speaker C: Yeah, the one I wrote down. Once again, Jack getting killed in the center of the ring. [00:20:50] Speaker B: Like, everyone just kind of doesn't care. [00:20:55] Speaker C: I think Jack and Darby are much the same in which they crave the pain and, like, enjoy getting punished and tossed around in some respects, because, like this. Ha. I mean, Jack's 175 minutes kept going up against Brios and all these bigger people, but they just get beat up for like 60% of the match. You know, just take up this huge beating. [00:21:21] Speaker A: I don't know, I just have, like, a bit easier time seeing Jack as, like, a better wrestler than Darby is. [00:21:26] Speaker C: Oh, yeah, that's true. I agree. [00:21:30] Speaker A: There's a. [00:21:30] Speaker B: There's a reason for that. Jack's a better wrestler than Darby. [00:21:34] Speaker A: Darby's good at taking really crazy bumps, but Jack can take really crazy bumps and can work. I won't say like, super great, but he can work. [00:21:46] Speaker B: Yeah, no, he's not. He's not like, you know, Bruno San Martino or anything. [00:21:52] Speaker C: No, I just say enjoy the pain and I think enjoy getting squashed in the ring, though. [00:22:02] Speaker B: He can't wrestle Let me find out this whole time. We find out later, this whole time that, like, it really just has been, like, a unconsenting cake thing for Darby. They're like, this entire. This entire time, just like, you understand, I've been finishing this and then just jerking it. Just jorgin it. [00:22:25] Speaker A: Just straight jerking it. [00:22:27] Speaker B: Y' all toss me around and then. And. And hurt me real bad. And I go in the back and just straight jerking it. [00:22:33] Speaker C: Honestly, ends up in this match. [00:22:40] Speaker A: When he went. When he went through the glass in that sting retirement match, he had to go to the back, change his pants. [00:22:46] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. Know. Yeah, exactly. He was. He was. He got real worked up. [00:22:51] Speaker A: Oh, man. [00:22:52] Speaker B: Jesus. That's disgusting, Darby. [00:22:58] Speaker A: God damn it. [00:23:00] Speaker B: I'm so sorry. Straight jorking it. Yeah. [00:23:03] Speaker A: Eventually, Jack is able to make a hot tag to Bandido, who. Who runs wild and does his big press slam on Tesha on top of Davis. Takeshita recovers and just, like, Blue Thunderbombs Bandito to Davis, pushes him around a little bit more before there's a Rana. Jack gets a poison Rana on Takeshita. [00:23:26] Speaker C: Great poison. Run it, too. Loved it. [00:23:28] Speaker A: Ron is all around, takes it really well. Darby hits that, like, missile suicide tope to Andrade, and that, like, sends Don, like, running for the hills again. [00:23:41] Speaker B: Because I. I'm in trouble. I'm in danger. I'm in danger. I'm in danger. [00:23:46] Speaker C: Lawrence isn't there for him or his [00:23:49] Speaker A: little bodyguard at some point. I love this. This is really funny because I think they missed the table to get so good. Davis grab. Grab Darby by his arms and legs, and they, like, do, like, the sack of potatoes. One, two, three. And they toss them over. Time keepers table. I don't know if they were aiming for the table or what, but Darby, like, just goes to the barricade, hits it, and he's just crumpled on the ground. [00:24:24] Speaker C: He hit the. Yeah. The chairs. [00:24:26] Speaker B: Missing tables is gonna be a theme tonight. [00:24:31] Speaker A: Like, we landed like that family guy bit with Peter. [00:24:40] Speaker C: With his leg. [00:24:42] Speaker A: His leg broken, his arm behind his back. [00:24:45] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:24:48] Speaker A: God. Jack is now, unfortunately, all alone. He tries fighting back, but he gets a lariat. Davis hits. Close your eyes, Count the Andrade comes back in, hits the dm. And that's all. [00:25:01] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:25:01] Speaker A: And the winners are the Don Callis family. [00:25:03] Speaker B: The winners are all of us at home. [00:25:06] Speaker A: The winners are the beautiful people, which does include us. [00:25:09] Speaker B: Yes. Oh, oh. And. Yeah. Sorry. Can't help it, folks at home. I don't know if you. Yeah, yeah. I was gonna say. [00:25:22] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:25:23] Speaker A: They all are creeps with got fetishes. [00:25:26] Speaker B: Yeah. I was gonna say, like, how do we transition from the fact that we're all millennials who can't not make that reference in our brains? But, no, he's a piece of shit. Okay, but here's the thing. I was alive, and therefore. Therefore, it was drilled in. [00:25:46] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:25:47] Speaker B: For many reasons. [00:25:50] Speaker C: Pathway there now. [00:25:52] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:25:54] Speaker A: Yeah. So, yeah, Don gets in to celebrate with his boys, and Andrade's still kind of arguing with him, like, why are we doing this? I want the world title. Darby crawls back in, and Andrade sort of, like, backs off. He's like, whoa, man, calm down. And just kicks him in the balls. They hold great. Gives him a wet willie. [00:26:18] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. [00:26:19] Speaker C: Oh, my God. Oh, no. [00:26:22] Speaker A: Yeah, that's what he did. Classic. Classic heel is gross, but it works. The young bucks actually come out to make the save for their friend who has been wet willied. And they kind of do a super kick party to everybody. And the rest of the Don Callis family come out. They gave us a BT trigger, and they're gonna do the TK Driver just to cash it. But Okada, of all people, makes the save. [00:26:45] Speaker C: That was wild. [00:26:47] Speaker A: And they team up to work over the Bucks for, like, all of a minute before, like, they look at each other and are just like, no, you actually. And they just start throwing elbows at each other, as she said. When everybody's trying to break them up, he's like, please stop. And while they're doing that, the Rascals show up, hit a bunch of dives on everybody, and then, like, the ultimate Big Brother thing runs over to where. Or Okada runs over to where Takesh is laying down. He just laughs in his face. It flips him off. [00:27:25] Speaker C: Oh, God. Just deranged laughter as he's laying there on the floor [00:27:33] Speaker A: as he attempts to leave. Myron Lee Myron Reed dives on Okada. They have a match on Collision Saturday. [00:27:42] Speaker B: I'm looking forward to this. That's good. I know that, like, people. I know people were not necessarily, like, into it when they first showed up because of the TNA of it all, but it's been long enough that I feel safe saying that I very much like their Rascals. I like their Rascals a whole lot, actually. Like, I'm a sucker for their silly gimmick on account of, like, I mean, maybe y' all don't know this, but I'm very high right now. [00:28:13] Speaker C: Wow. Shut up. [00:28:14] Speaker B: I'm gonna. I'm gonna be higher before the end of the show. [00:28:20] Speaker A: Oh, my God. [00:28:21] Speaker B: Okay. [00:28:22] Speaker C: Wow. [00:28:23] Speaker B: So put. You know, think about that. Do with. With that information what you will. [00:28:27] Speaker C: Does that your opinion on the Rascals at all? [00:28:32] Speaker B: Yes. Yes. Because they are my stoner little. They're my little stoner buddies. I love. They're my little stoner buddies. They're my weed friends. I'm sorry, what? Is that the ghost of George C. Scott? They're my weed friends. We smoke the ganja together. [00:28:54] Speaker A: I have a marijuana cigarette with the Rascals every Wednesday night. [00:29:00] Speaker B: It reminds me of the jazz musicians back in the. Oh, God. [00:29:06] Speaker A: I've got a T of Mary Jane, Devil's Lettuce. [00:29:12] Speaker C: But they are also a really good trio. Well, I guess it's a duo. Plus Myron Reed, who's now going off in their singles. [00:29:22] Speaker A: They'll be back. We all know that. [00:29:24] Speaker B: Well, that's. That was. I didn't just bring it up for the weed bit. That was. What I was gonna say is I love how you. They really are all interchangeable. I like. I feel like sometimes with a trio's group especially, you'll. You'll get the sing where it's like, there's the obvious single and star and the obvious tag team, but these. The. This group feels like the very Freebird rules built in. Like, we could work. Work through any of them. And, like. And, yeah, I mean, I've. [00:29:55] Speaker A: I've been on record of saying that I think that they should retire the Freebird tag team rule for a while, but I also think that. [00:30:04] Speaker B: Yeah, well, we haven't seen it have a team. [00:30:06] Speaker A: Yeah, we haven't. It hasn't been in aew, but, like, I. Like, every time there's a trio, somebody's like, bring back the Freebird rule. I was like, no, I don't think we need to do it. [00:30:20] Speaker C: Okay, so what's the Free Bird rule? Because I don't know what that is. [00:30:23] Speaker B: Oh, I forgot. We remember. We made a wrestling fan from scratch. So the Fabulous Freebirds. Remember GOC Hendricks, that thing I made in the basement that escaped? [00:30:35] Speaker A: I forgot about. [00:30:39] Speaker B: We haven't forgot about Gog. She's out there somewhere. [00:30:45] Speaker C: Collect. [00:30:47] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, I was gonna say. [00:30:49] Speaker C: So, like, that's the other one. [00:30:51] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. Oh, that. Oh, no, that's. [00:30:54] Speaker C: Can't even remember. And I literally watched it last. [00:30:56] Speaker B: I can't. I can't even. I can't even say it. [00:30:59] Speaker C: Please continue. [00:31:01] Speaker B: Yeah, we had such an awful name for the. For the trans version of him that we did, and I can't remember what it is. Oh, yeah. Fagger Lee Marshall. That's what. [00:31:13] Speaker A: Oh, God. That's right. [00:31:15] Speaker B: Yeah. All right. But remember Cock Hendricks? That thing I made. [00:31:23] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:31:24] Speaker B: Was based on Doc Hendricks, who was also. Is actually. Yeah. Who's actually Michael Hayes. Well, Michael Hayes was a fabulous Freebird, and he would wrestle in. In racist makeup and things, but the Freebirds were a trio's group. It was him and. Oh, God. [00:31:48] Speaker A: Oh, I always forget them. [00:31:50] Speaker B: Oh, I always forget because it changed because. Because eventually you got Jimmy Jam in there. Terry Gordy. Terry Gordy, Buddy rock. That's. Thank you. Terry Gordy is the one that got stuck on Wikipedia. Oh, thank you, Hector. Stop being a professional. That's not how we operate. [00:32:08] Speaker C: It's gonna get worse. [00:32:10] Speaker B: It's gonna get worse. So, yeah, those are the Freebirds, and they developed the Freebird rule because they would. Two of them would become tag team champions, and then they would be like. For whatever reason, they'd say, well, this one. Or like, they couldn't make it or whatever. For whatever storyline reason, this one can't make it. The third one's gonna to take his place. And they would say, it's all right. We'll allow it. Because, like, for, you know, whatever. And it became known as the Free Bird rule. Whenever you would do that, because the Freebirds were the ones who first did that. They're. Yeah, they're. They're like trio stable. Like, they were huge. [00:32:49] Speaker C: I think that's a good rule. That's a good way to run it, though. That's just. Yeah. [00:32:54] Speaker A: The last, too. [00:32:56] Speaker B: Yeah. I don't know. I like it. [00:32:58] Speaker A: The last team to do it was what, the new day in wwe. [00:33:01] Speaker B: The new day. Yeah. I think the new day was the last game to do it. [00:33:05] Speaker C: Okay. [00:33:06] Speaker A: At least unlike we'll call it the [00:33:08] Speaker B: new day rule, we should start calling it the new day rule because Michael Hayes sucks ass. [00:33:12] Speaker A: Yeah, he's racist. My favorite thing Hendrix bit was the. The. What was it? It's like, hey, can you point me in the direction to Bad Street? [00:33:24] Speaker B: Yeah. Ass. Oh, no. [00:33:32] Speaker C: The skit. [00:33:34] Speaker B: All right, so, folks, if you go way back in the feed and you find the Ballad of Gog Hendricks escape, I, I, I put the entire saga together. It was supposed to be. I had plans to continue this, and maybe someday I will. But then I got a divorce and kicked out of my house. So I stopped focusing on. On creative things as much. But I released it as, like a part one. It exists in the feed. Go find it. The Ballad of God Kendricks, and you'll understand what the we're talking about if any of y' all are newer. [00:34:13] Speaker A: Listen. [00:34:14] Speaker B: Yeah, that's where. That's some. That's how it's from the Monday show. Anyway, anyways, back to aew. Jesus with the show. [00:34:31] Speaker A: Lexi Nair is with Doc Sampson and wants to know about Kenny's cuts. And Samson. Samson. Samson says MJF is full of cat. He doesn't have cuts. Stop putting on the Internet that Kenny Omega has. [00:34:55] Speaker C: Under no circumstances are you allowed to say that Kenny, sir. Kenny Omega has. [00:35:02] Speaker B: Oh, no. That's like. That's gonna take our whole showdown. We. How many times, how many times, listeners at home, how many times have we said guts this week? It's too much. It's too much. It needs to stop. And we haven't gotten to the fact that he addresses his own guts. [00:35:19] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:35:20] Speaker C: Yeah, it does. Oh, yeah. I. [00:35:23] Speaker A: But I, I am glad that they, like, actually just came out and said, like, MJF is full of. Because he was. If there was a chance that Kenny could actually die in this match, why do you think we would have this? We're not. We're not another wrestling company in the 90s that will remain nameless. [00:35:42] Speaker B: Yeah. Yes. [00:35:44] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:35:45] Speaker B: The Fed. The World Wrestling Federation. [00:35:48] Speaker A: World wrestling federation, number one in dead wrestlers. [00:35:53] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:35:54] Speaker C: Since 1989. [00:35:57] Speaker A: All right, so we jump into our next match as TBS championship is on the line as the returning Queen Aminata is challenging Willow Nightingale. Yeah, I am excited for Amina to [00:36:10] Speaker B: be back, and she looked a amazing yellow. Oh, my God. Well, yeah, the actual work rate, too, but I was gonna start with just the outfit. [00:36:24] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, she got a whole new goddamn entrance video, too. It's like she's, she's good. Really good. I, I'm sure to the moon. Yeah, she could win the TBS championship for sure. So, yeah, they, they, they, they just get back and like, Abada's got, like, all the aggression and they do, like, a little series of strikes in the air falls that she gets the better of. [00:36:50] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. We didn't even mention who she's fighting, though. [00:36:53] Speaker A: She's fighting Willow. [00:36:55] Speaker C: Yeah, Willow. [00:36:56] Speaker A: I did. I, I, I announced who the match. Who was in the match. Oh, my God. [00:37:00] Speaker B: I'm sorry. [00:37:01] Speaker A: I will Nightingale for the TBS championship. [00:37:04] Speaker B: I'm sorry. I'm high as drugs. [00:37:09] Speaker A: Drugs day. [00:37:11] Speaker C: Rain for Willem Nightingale and drugs. [00:37:14] Speaker B: Look, I was, Look, I was asleep like, 10 minutes before we started recording. [00:37:22] Speaker A: I am, I know. [00:37:23] Speaker B: Sorry. I'm apologizing to everyone at home. [00:37:29] Speaker A: Everybody needs a nap every now and then. [00:37:31] Speaker C: That's so true. [00:37:32] Speaker A: I took it I got woken up by like, Megadeth at like, max volume. [00:37:39] Speaker C: Awful. [00:37:40] Speaker A: Awful. Megadeth's fine. Whatever. I don't give a. All right, so. So while they're fighting, we have a Hikaru Shida is lurking in the crowd. Former women's champion is Made her return on Collision last Saturday. [00:38:00] Speaker B: It was awesome. And ever since then, I. We like, this is. This is like stalkery heel Sheeta. [00:38:08] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:38:09] Speaker B: Yeah. Like she does doing a heck and sting. And I was like, very. [00:38:14] Speaker C: That's why it was familiar. [00:38:16] Speaker B: I. [00:38:16] Speaker C: Well, Stings. You was in the rafters, but. [00:38:19] Speaker B: Yeah, in the rafters, but same difference. I'm here. I'm quietly staring at you like I'm gonna you up. [00:38:26] Speaker C: There was a rain I just recently of gold dust watching triple or hearse? Triple. Triple H. Whatever. Because he was making. Anyway, sorry. So they all love stalking each other. [00:38:45] Speaker A: I'm just gonna call her Molina. [00:38:47] Speaker C: Molina. There's. There's the portmanteau of it. [00:38:54] Speaker A: Yeah. So. So a little bit of the backstory since we don't talk about collision. Is she to return on Collision? She wrestled Willow for the title, lost and then made like she was gonna kendo stick Willow post match, but, like, changed mind and shook her hand. So, like, she is gonna go like, full Yakuza, possibly. Majima is everywhere. Sheeta is everywhere. If you play the Yakuza games, you know what I'm talking about. If you don't get educated but don't play the new one because it's got a violent man in it sucks. Yeah. Willow tosses Aminata into the barricade. And Aminata has a neck injury too. There's a lot of that going around. But I wouldn't say she has a neck yet because she, like, didn't spend the whole match whining about it. So she reverses a whip and gets like, a little arm drag and then does a running kick to Willow and then does chocolate kisses. His ass. [00:39:56] Speaker B: Kisses. I missed her. [00:39:58] Speaker A: I missed her. And I. I. I know for a fact she picked that name just to make commentary uncomfortable. [00:40:06] Speaker C: Oh, good. [00:40:07] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. [00:40:07] Speaker C: Good, good. [00:40:10] Speaker B: Got you gotta with the boys in the booth. Come on. [00:40:13] Speaker A: The first time Tony had to call chocolate kisses, he was like, I don't know if I can say that. [00:40:18] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. [00:40:19] Speaker A: Like, generally, like, I don't know if I'm alive allowed to say that. I'm an old white man. I don't know if I can say that. [00:40:29] Speaker B: Like, inside me there is a Booker T. And he is. He is squinting [00:40:37] Speaker C: to drop that promo that's been scrubbed. [00:40:40] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't want him to be coming for me. I don't. [00:40:46] Speaker A: Oh, man. [00:40:48] Speaker C: Always looking at Taz to see if he'll do it. Just. No, you say it. You say it. [00:40:53] Speaker B: Well, what do you. What do you think I am, Tony? I'm Italian. Like, I can't say it either. [00:41:02] Speaker A: Oh, my God. [00:41:05] Speaker B: Oh, Jesus. [00:41:06] Speaker A: Anyways, so what I like best about 90s episode. [00:41:09] Speaker B: We're. We are in our Monday. We're in our Monday cups today. This is not a. [00:41:13] Speaker A: Okay. What I like about Aminata is she works really stiff. So, like, her strikes are great, but, like, they also make my tits hurt. The way she's, like, chopping the out of Willow. I was like, ow. [00:41:27] Speaker C: Great legs, too, and great, great strength. Because I. I literally said, oh, my God. Like, she's so small, like, upper body, comparatively. And then she lifted Willow, like. [00:41:40] Speaker A: Yeah, she's very, very strong. [00:41:42] Speaker C: The air raid crash. Yeah, it's like, oh, well, okay, well, Jesus. [00:41:48] Speaker B: And her headbutt. Like, God, Aminata's headbutt. She's got, like, the best headbutt in the game. Like, Jesus. [00:41:57] Speaker A: Willow makes a little bit of a comeback out of a back breaker. And she gets a drop kick and a dvd. I'm not over Senton. Willow gets one from the apron on the outside anyway, tries a moonsault. Misses. Amanata hits a stick sliding D elbow for only two, and. But now she's getting, like, frustrated. Diving stop gets tubed, and Willow starts willowing up the straight strikes in the middle of the ring. Like, Willow basically is like, welcome back. Show me you can be champ. Yeah, Cool. Cool. Aminata blocks the pounce, but Willow manages to get a clothesline. She tries for babe with the power bomb countered into the air raid crash. It's like, as Hampton said that, freakishly strong. [00:42:49] Speaker C: Insane. [00:42:50] Speaker A: She wants the offer. Their head kick in the ropes. It's counter with the pounce power bomb. And that ends it. [00:42:58] Speaker B: Yeah. And that's just my queen. [00:43:02] Speaker A: 7th TBS title defense. [00:43:05] Speaker C: That's fantastic. [00:43:07] Speaker A: She looks upset. Willow shakes hands and I guess everything's okay. Yeah. She goes to, like, kind of, like, point at Sheeta, but the camera cuts away because we've got to go to Chris Jericho. [00:43:27] Speaker B: He's home. [00:43:28] Speaker A: He's home. [00:43:29] Speaker C: So quickly. I feel like I might have brought some really bad energy into this recording since I just finished watching sold out 1997. [00:43:43] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, that's a lot of bad energy, [00:43:48] Speaker C: which has fundamentally changed, changed me and not. I told my friend. I was like, I was damaged. I apologize for bringing that energy in here. Regarding the Monday night cups. Also I did a brief look into the kinesio tape. [00:44:16] Speaker A: Oh. [00:44:17] Speaker C: And basically it's. It's a. It can reduce pain intensity. It. But it's doesn't really have any significant actual medicinal properties. Like it doesn't help with range of motion or rot like disability or. Anyway, so it's a mild. It helps with pain a bit. [00:44:42] Speaker A: But so what I'm hearing is it's magic. [00:44:47] Speaker C: Kinda. Yeah. Like I mean so this was from a. Granted my. My sources is a Wikipedia but they are quoting a to 2023 study about this and also the kinesio tape health actually had to settle a lawsuit in 2027 and it cannot clinically prevent injuries or keep you pain free. [00:45:14] Speaker A: They can't prove the existence of magic. [00:45:17] Speaker C: That's true. Yeah. [00:45:18] Speaker B: Yeah. So now they have to accept that their number one job is to mark which body part on a professional wrestler is to be targeted. [00:45:29] Speaker C: Like I do believe that there is some pain mitigation and it's. You know, it probably helps. [00:45:35] Speaker A: Oh yeah. Like I mind wise but yeah, I fully believe that. Like it's. It's probably like a really. It's probably like a more modern and efficient way to tape an injury that like you know, you would, you would get. [00:45:48] Speaker C: Oh yeah, yeah. [00:45:51] Speaker A: Manage your wrist. Like that's what it is. It's just like something that you like. All right. It's more flexible so I can put it on the back of my neck or put it on my back or put it on my knee. Like it's like somebody like just sent me like how to apply kinesio tape to your knees. Like why do you think I need that? [00:46:08] Speaker B: You like wrestling? [00:46:10] Speaker A: I do, I do. But like. [00:46:14] Speaker C: Oh yeah, actually, yeah. [00:46:15] Speaker A: It's like first off, how dare you. [00:46:17] Speaker C: How was your meniscus? Erica? How are your. How are your knees doing? [00:46:21] Speaker B: My. I'm pretty sure my meniscus is what I up. [00:46:25] Speaker C: I. It's. It's the cartilage kind of around your knee. [00:46:29] Speaker B: Yeah, no, that's the. That's the thing that I ruined, I think. [00:46:33] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:46:33] Speaker A: The hibiscus. [00:46:34] Speaker C: Yeah, the hibiscus. It's like a. Well it's not around. It's like a little C thing. [00:46:38] Speaker A: Anyways, anyway to see. [00:46:40] Speaker C: I told you it was going to get worse. [00:46:43] Speaker A: Jericho. [00:46:44] Speaker B: Yeah, I told you. [00:46:45] Speaker C: All for Chris Jericho. [00:46:49] Speaker A: Well, before we get to Chris Jericho we get a nice video. Really? Actually package. [00:46:53] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:46:53] Speaker A: About mjf. This was like top notch actually and it was just kind of About MJF and how he has been with a. Like, how he, like, got to aew, how he rose through the ranks, became champion, and they're like, really, really pushing this God versus the devil angle. Sure. Are dynasties main event, which, like. Sure. Cool. [00:47:18] Speaker B: Well, I found out that I have to. I found out today that I have to DoorDash for about two hours to be able to afford Dynasty. So you're gonna need to push it real hard, kids. You got like. Right. I feel like, you know, like, yes, the patrons do generally buy us our pay per views. That being said, I quit my job. It's a rough month. So, yeah, we'll see how Collision goes. If Collision's like super hot awesome, then. Then maybe I will. I will buy. I will do the buying. Or wait, was this the week where Collision was on Thursday, Collision's on Saturday. Okay, good. That was last week. Oh, I was like, wait, the collision already happened? I have to make my choice. No. Okay. [00:48:09] Speaker A: Period. [00:48:11] Speaker B: Okay. Time is a flat circle now. [00:48:13] Speaker A: Now. Yeah, now. It's the thing that we got. We all. We're all the reason we're all here. The thing that we all got into this podcast and game flow for. It's time to recap a Chris Jericho promo. [00:48:25] Speaker C: Oh, yes. [00:48:29] Speaker B: Not even a match, just a promo, just a segment. [00:48:33] Speaker A: Excalibur is a. And he says, I wonder if Jericho meant I'm home because he was in Winnipeg or. Aw. And it's like, no, dude, he. He's. He signed the contract. Like, everybody knows this. Nobody's confused. [00:48:49] Speaker B: I was confused at all. [00:48:50] Speaker A: They. They try to do. Well, I mean. [00:48:52] Speaker C: I mean, Excalibur is. [00:48:54] Speaker A: I think they try to do the thing where after Jericho's made his entrance, they like, turn down the music so the crowd can keep singing Judas. But like, they kind of it up, so. But yeah, they chant for him anyway. And he soaks into it and he says, thank you, Edmonton. And he's got a clipboard and he's gonna sign his AW contract. 100km down the road from Pinoc. Pinoccha. Pinoccha. Pinocca. Pinocca, Saskatchewan. There's a Sassuan. Where's. In Alberta. I don't know my provinces anymore. I need to watch more hockey. He had his first ever match in Pinocca, Alberta, Canada. And they chant for Pinoca. [00:49:39] Speaker B: And it's a Pinoca chant. [00:49:41] Speaker A: Pinoccha chant, which is the first chance for chant for it in the history of everything good for them. He's taken a lot of risks in his career, including Aw. But the risk paid off, and it's still getting bigger. And sometimes he has sucked ass. Yes, that is very true. Sometimes you really have. But he did them for all the right reasons because he loves wrestling, and he got into the best shape he could be in because he loves wrestling. He doesn't care where he is in the card and is helping to build the promo or try. He's helping to build the company. And, like, I kind of realized that he's. He's kind of doing the promo CM Punk did when he came back on a rampage. He's like, oh, I don't care where I am. I want to help build the future of wrestling. [00:50:28] Speaker B: Yeah, there you go. [00:50:29] Speaker C: Yeah, whatever helps you sleep at night. [00:50:35] Speaker A: I think he's taking a shot. I thought I. Well, maybe he probably wasn't actually taking a shot at anybody. But, like, I just noticed the parallels. Like, that's what everybody says when they sign a long term contract that nobody really expect them to. It's like, oh, I'm gonna help make the company better. [00:50:50] Speaker C: Yeah. Do you know how long. Do you. I didn't. I don't know. Do you know how long his contract is? [00:50:55] Speaker A: Oh, I hope before I die. Oh, man, I don't know. It's looking kind of. It's. It's. [00:51:10] Speaker C: He's 55. [00:51:12] Speaker A: He's. Yeah. I mean, no, like. Like, yeah. Things are looking kind of bleak right now. It's been a long week, man. Yeah. [00:51:23] Speaker C: To the camps. [00:51:25] Speaker A: Oh, God. Anyway, Ricochet and the. The demand interrupt, and it's Ricochet and the Goa. Ricochet says, first off, Canada sucks. Debatable. Depends on who you ask. But they come in peace, because if they were going to do violence, then Bishop Khan would have already apparently shot Jericho, which, like, cool. And he tells Jericho, just don't. Yeah, that is what I think a lot of people are thinking. Don't do any of it. Why would you want to? Yep. You got to spend the year touring with Fi. And he's not in ring shape. And he does give Jericho credit for the past. And Jericho, you know, he might not [00:52:12] Speaker B: be in ring shape. He's got abs now. [00:52:14] Speaker A: He's got abs. But you know what? It's pretty easy to get abs if you try hard enough. And you won't be in ring shape. [00:52:20] Speaker B: You don't say that to me. Don't you dare say that to me. How dare you say that? [00:52:25] Speaker A: I had Absolutely. [00:52:26] Speaker B: Abs are the most. [00:52:28] Speaker A: At one point, I had it. [00:52:29] Speaker B: Good for you. [00:52:30] Speaker A: I did. [00:52:30] Speaker B: I don't think I've ever Had. I've never had an ab. It's wild stuff. [00:52:35] Speaker A: I like, I have boobs instead now, so I think it's a good trade off. Ain't right boobs. So, yeah, Ricochet says, don't worry about it. He's here now. He's the man. Attendance and ratings are up, clearly because of him. He's only telling, he's only telling Jericho all this because he respects him, but nobody wants him here. Okay, Pack it up, get out of the ring, go back on your cruise ship and leave. He takes his hat off and Jerrica says, wow, you really are bald again. No, Chris. [00:53:10] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, that's all we got. And he's got his, he's got his clipboard. And I'm like, okay, so he's gonna do the list. Oh, he's just running. What? Well, yeah, but, but he's like, oh, no, it's, here's what's, this is what's really great is he, he has the, the clipboard. So everyone who knows. Who knows is like, oh, he's gonna do the list bit. But then he's like, I have here the contract to sign to say that I, I am still all lead or whatever. It's like, okay, so he tried to swerve us from the gimmick by saying, wait, he [00:53:55] Speaker C: gimmick. [00:53:58] Speaker A: I see what, you see what I'm saying. [00:54:01] Speaker B: We'll get there. [00:54:02] Speaker A: Get. We'll get to it. I, I, I have. All right, I, I know what you are saying, but he's actually dumber than what you're thinking he's doing. [00:54:13] Speaker B: Oh, no. [00:54:15] Speaker A: So, all right, Jerrica says, and after all that, he doesn't give a what he thinks. And his contract has a clause that lets him choose his opponent for Dynasty. He could choose anybody in the demand. The hot dog vendor, his cousin, or Conor McGregor. And like, nobody pops for Conor McGregor like the hot dog, [00:54:36] Speaker C: I mean, hot dog vendors. MVP. Honestly, that. [00:54:39] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. [00:54:40] Speaker A: Yes. Shout out hot dog vendors. [00:54:42] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah. [00:54:43] Speaker A: Thank you. All Beef. International. Yes. [00:54:52] Speaker B: Guys, I slipped through dinner. Stop. [00:54:57] Speaker A: Let me think about it. [00:54:58] Speaker B: Figure out food as soon as we're done here. [00:55:00] Speaker A: Okay? He made up his mind. You know what happens when you're bald and you come out in a fancy pants sweatsuit? You go on the list and the list gets a pop. And he says, see what Dynasty Ricochet. All right. Hampter to explain the list gimmick, please. When he was in wwe, he had a list of everybody who pissed him off. And if you were on the list, then you're he was gonna go after you, but, like, he carried it around on a clipboard, and whenever somebody made him mad, he'd be like, you know what? [00:55:34] Speaker B: You're on the list. [00:55:35] Speaker A: You just made the list. And then, like, it culminated with, like, he was teaming with Kevin Owens. And like, it culminated with, like, Kevin Owens is like, I got you a new new clipboard and a new list. And Chris looked at it, and then, like, the back falls off and it says, like, Kevin Owens list. He's like, wait, why is my name on there? And then he gets attacked. And like, people. People will go to their graves saying, this is one of the most emotional and greatest swerves heel turns in modern wrestling history. And it's very good. But guys, relax. [00:56:15] Speaker B: I do. Hey, y', all, I smoke a lot of drugs, like, a lot on this show. I'm about to do more. Even I go and going. That is a mildly funny bit at best. That is, like, emotional turn. That's a mild. That's a. That's a goofy. That's a nice goof. They did a good goof there, boys. Yeah. [00:56:43] Speaker C: To me, that's funny. Like, I don't. I don't have that emotional weight of [00:56:47] Speaker B: like, oh, my God. [00:56:48] Speaker A: People were just like, wow, that was so good. Like, that's. Go. Go watch it if you haven't seen it. Like, I think I'll see if I can find it. But these are the good Lord anyway. [00:57:02] Speaker B: Fumes that we were running that wrestling fans had to have been running on, like, because that's how bad Vince made it. Like, I was. That I wasn't watching at that point. I would. That was while I was. That I was lapsed. Because this is. Why would I watch that? [00:57:19] Speaker A: This is like, when people started being like, jericho is so good at reinventing himself because he got a list on a clipboard over. [00:57:27] Speaker C: Yo. [00:57:27] Speaker A: Wow. Just amazing stuff. But no, here's why. [00:57:34] Speaker B: That's. That's it. That's it. He's. He's funny. He could be very funny. That. [00:57:38] Speaker A: He can be very funny. Here's what. Here's why he's dumber than what you were thinking he was doing, Ella, is because he says, you made the list, but he doesn't have a list on the thing. It's a contract. [00:57:52] Speaker C: Yeah, it's his contract. So he signed it, too. [00:57:55] Speaker A: Does he just, like, have a list on the contract? No, he just has a contract. Like, you didn't make the list. You made the contract. [00:58:01] Speaker C: Dipshit signed the contract. You put Ricochet's name on Your contract. [00:58:05] Speaker A: Yes. [00:58:05] Speaker C: And that's not legally accepting. You can't. [00:58:08] Speaker A: Well, no, because he can. He can put. He can put whoever he wants in the face. So that's. That's a clause. It's a clause. It's a Santa Claus. [00:58:14] Speaker B: It's a ricket clause which you doing a record. A record clause which you don't understand. [00:58:25] Speaker C: I will say this. Shortly before jumping in to watch the. The program I saw Chris Jericho wants to tell his haters that keep telling him to retire to shut up. And I said, okay. And I got this promo like, he just went to Ricochet. And he was just like, hey, you got to tell me to. That I should just retire. And then I'm going to tell you to shut up. And he got what he want. [00:58:52] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:58:53] Speaker C: Reminded. Remember when Clint Eastwood. This is ancient memes. Like, talk to the chair about, like, Jesus. Yeah. A little bit more dignity, but you [00:59:08] Speaker B: at least found someone else to come in. [00:59:12] Speaker A: Like, ah, Jesus talking to the chair again. [00:59:16] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:59:16] Speaker A: Yeah. God, he thinks the B's there. [00:59:21] Speaker B: Jericho's return had. Did solidify me. For me where I'm kind of at on this, which is that all of the old school guys need to just retire. Ex. Except Christian Cage. Christian Daddy can do this. Yeah. Thousand years of Christian Cade. [00:59:48] Speaker A: Put that man in the Lazarus Pit. Keep him alive at that. Like, at this age. [00:59:59] Speaker C: Perfection. [01:00:02] Speaker B: He just needed to ripen, guys. He just needed to ripen. [01:00:06] Speaker A: He was always this good. But, like, now he's allowed to just be like, I don't give a. Yep. All right, so wait. We got. We gotta get to it. All right, so, like, we. Lexi's with the Dog House family. I want to get to that segment because that segment is like, I don't care about this. And then I did. But let's get. We gotta. We gotta do the things. We gotta do the things. Lexi's with the Dog House family. And Don has a big match to announce for Dynasty. But first he lets us know that Andrade's gonna be beat. Darby. Because he's muy bueno. True. And that the young bucks will face Okada and Takeshita. Takesh is like, you. No. And Don's like, you are being so selfish. Because they're both being selfish because they should do it for Kyle because he's dying in the hospital. He actually says, like, he's fighting for his life. For the hospital. [01:01:03] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah, he's dying right now. [01:01:07] Speaker C: He's dying of this. He's. He is. This is for him. He has nothing to do with it. But this is for him. You need to do it for him. [01:01:16] Speaker B: If you don't do this, the impulsive will become completely. [01:01:19] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:01:20] Speaker B: You will just be coming in. It's like Neo for China. [01:01:26] Speaker A: That's how that works. That's science right there. [01:01:28] Speaker B: I. [01:01:29] Speaker A: Who. [01:01:30] Speaker B: God, I love being the trans wrestling podcast. It's just, it's just, it's. It's the niches. Niche that, like, I giggled. I don't know about y'. [01:01:39] Speaker A: All. [01:01:40] Speaker B: I giggled real hard at a man turning into an entire Neo vagina. [01:01:48] Speaker C: I think Kyle Fletcher could do. [01:01:50] Speaker B: I believe Kyle Fletcher could do anything. [01:01:53] Speaker C: Yeah, that's true. [01:01:53] Speaker A: I. I do believe. [01:01:56] Speaker B: God, I love them. [01:01:57] Speaker A: Yeah. So, like, they're comparing this to, like, the. The 90s bulls. And so, like, Takeshita's like, I want a shot at Okada's belt if we do this. [01:02:08] Speaker C: Yep. [01:02:09] Speaker A: And they have to get along at Dynasty, like, Michael Jordan and Scotty Pippen, and they shake hands on it, and Okada says that I'm Jordan and you're Pippin, and that, like, sets to cash the off. [01:02:22] Speaker C: Speaking of brother, like, older. [01:02:24] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:02:28] Speaker B: I giggled so hard at the fact that that's what finally put him over the Edu. Yours, Scotty Pippen off you. It's like just these two Japanese dudes. It's so awesome. [01:02:46] Speaker A: I love it. Like, it's like such a cool feud, but it's like, this is funny as, like, before. God, before they, like, it really had been just like, all right, this is like a serious. They're gonna have a serious match when they wrestle. And now they're just like, I'm Jordan, you're pippin' you. [01:03:09] Speaker B: It's so great that they could do. Find a way to do both because you know that when the match happens, it's gonna be good. [01:03:15] Speaker A: Gross. [01:03:16] Speaker B: Yeah, like, like, like it's gonna be violently serious. Like, but in the mean, the build up is all goofs and scream. [01:03:27] Speaker A: I love it. It's so good. [01:03:30] Speaker B: I love pro wrestling. Yeah. [01:03:32] Speaker A: All right, so we have. All right, so this next match is to determine who's number one entrant into the casino gauntlet match for the TNT title. We have Thompson chomping to Junior versus Mascara Tommy Choppers. And this is an interesting clash of styles. They do some grappling. I don't know if Chompers is as good as Dorada at the. At the grapples. No, you know, he kind of. Kind of held his own a little bit. [01:04:00] Speaker C: I love Dorada. I went back through my notes and I was like, have I seen him wrestle before. And it was at that big, all out, massive. It was. What was it? It was the all man, all man theme. A bobber all day. I don't know. It was, it was like a. It was a free for all to get a shot at the belt. [01:04:22] Speaker A: Oh, I think I know what you're talking about. He was like. It was like, first. Yeah, I think. [01:04:27] Speaker C: Yes, it was the. It was also the one where Brody sacrificed himself for. [01:04:34] Speaker A: Okay, okay. [01:04:35] Speaker B: Oh, my heart. Yeah, that's where we get that from. Damn it. [01:04:43] Speaker A: Yeah, that's. Yeah, that's where it's from. Because he screams Mr. Bandito while taking a bullet for him. [01:04:51] Speaker B: Like, straight up. [01:04:52] Speaker A: Brody. No, [01:04:57] Speaker C: they're. Out of all the participants, he stood out a number of times. And in this match, I was like, damn, Erica, right? Erica be right. It's just like, it's old. It's just this old school versus new new school. And like, Umper can't really. I thought. I felt that he struggled a little bit. I, I, Yeah, I, I didn't think. I, I didn't think Psycho killer should have won this. Sorry. [01:05:25] Speaker B: Look, look, I'm not. I thought it was a good time. I had a great time. I literally messaged Erica. I was like, look, it's. It's like, if you can't, It's Mascara Dorado, [01:05:42] Speaker C: Right? [01:05:43] Speaker A: But, like, yeah, the flaw in your argument. There's a flaw in your argument, and the flaw is. [01:05:49] Speaker B: Don't you dare use facts and logic against me. [01:05:51] Speaker A: Is that the problem is never his opponent. That I have. I never have an issue with his opponent. It's usually just him that's boring. And, like, this cut, like, like, to be entirely fair, this was a very good match. And he did hold up. He didn't. He did not really, like, the grappling part at the start didn't work. And then he had that Heat segment during the commercial break that was, like, really boring. But, like, once Dorada, like, got back on offense and, like, they picked up the pace, then it got a lot better. I did have a commercial break. Come on. I had a. I had a long, hard laugh at the crowd chanting Timu Goldberg at Tommy Croppers. [01:06:33] Speaker B: Holy. [01:06:34] Speaker C: Is that when he jizzed all over him? [01:06:37] Speaker A: I think so, yeah. [01:06:39] Speaker C: Because he was saying it was standing. [01:06:44] Speaker B: So here's the thing that popped me because it's close because, like, because what it did for me is. Remember Gilberg? [01:06:53] Speaker A: Yeah, but, like, he's more ripped than Gilberg is. [01:06:56] Speaker B: Like, if Gilberg. If he was like, he was like, if Gilberg was chiseled. Yeah, like if Gilbert was. Yes, Gilbert was dehydrated as they put [01:07:09] Speaker C: him on the diuretics. [01:07:10] Speaker A: Yes. [01:07:11] Speaker B: Thompson choppy, too. In the third. If Gilberg was dehydrated as. And had a beard. Yes, we. We put it together. T. Goldberg. Jesus Christ. [01:07:27] Speaker A: Oh, man. [01:07:28] Speaker B: Oh, God, I love. [01:07:30] Speaker A: It really is funny because, like, the crowd chanted Teu Goldberg. They're like, no, we have Teu Goldberg at home. And yet it's Gilbert. [01:07:40] Speaker B: Yeah, it's Gilbert, but he's really dehydrated and he does project Choppington and. And like, oh, my God, I still love him. But like, Jesus Christ. That was. You don't come back from that, man. You're gonna have to have. Or you're gonna have to have like a five star classic to come back from Timu Goldberg. Yeah, like, that's. That's rough. So, yeah, Canada did you wrong [01:08:10] Speaker A: Dorada. Dorada makes his comeback after he avoids a slingshot and he, like, jumps up on the ropes, gets an arm drag, apron kick. He goes up to the. He like, goes and climbs, like on the. The ring post itself. Does a big ass moonsault from that 450 splash. Only gets two chompers. What's. I. I don't know what that means. Chompers wants a thing. I don't know what that note means. No, no, no. He wanted to. He was trying to go for a move. I just said he wants a thing. And Dorada gets out, hits a running kick. Chompers fights back with his own drop kick. And that's when he gets Project Chompington for two, which is that big power bomb lung bullet blower, which is disgusting. God. He wants. He. He tries to go for an avalanche psycho driver. And God damn, I don't even know what to call Dorada hits. I guess it's like a iconoclasm, but he turns it into a neck breaker. [01:09:13] Speaker C: Yeah. What was that? [01:09:15] Speaker A: That should have finished the match. But it's only a two count when [01:09:19] Speaker C: he was on his shoulders. [01:09:20] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, yeah. On the shoulder. It's like when they. When they have them up and they, like kind of flip them and sit out. It's. It's an iconoclap. Iconic. I think it's. Yeah. Iconoclast. A psychonoplasm. That's what the move is called. But he turned it into a neck breaker, which was crazy. As Moonsault counted with boots, Dorado avoids a knee, but Chompers hangs him up with the DDT running knee. And that's it winner is Thompson Chompington. And yeah, that was, that was a pretty good match by. By old Tommy. I'll give him credit. [01:09:56] Speaker C: Yeah, I, I super enjoyed the match, but the wrong wrestler won. [01:10:01] Speaker A: Yeah, I agree. I think that was. That actually might have been my favorite chompers match. Like, I, I, I've been giving Ella for weeks. But like, that actually I think was my favorite match of his so far. Yeah, you're muted. [01:10:14] Speaker B: It was a good match. I just said it was. [01:10:17] Speaker A: I just said it was my favorite of it. [01:10:19] Speaker C: She agreed with you. [01:10:21] Speaker B: Okay. But I've been muted. I've been over here grumbling, talking. This whole time, I've been muted. So I had to get all out. [01:10:30] Speaker A: All right. The dogs are in the back and they are stealing. [01:10:35] Speaker B: Oh, God, this promo. Jesus. [01:10:39] Speaker A: Don Callis family's bit of beating dudes up while somebody cuts a promo. So, yeah, Dave Finley's cutting the promo while they're beating the out of Roger Strong and orange Cassidy and the the utility seller or whatever it is between the. Yeah, Gabe kid is back. He's. He's still a madman. [01:11:03] Speaker C: He's returned from kindergarten and he's ready to go back again. [01:11:07] Speaker B: And he's ready for first grade. [01:11:09] Speaker A: First grade. I got my boots on. [01:11:13] Speaker C: Kicks down the door. [01:11:16] Speaker A: Yes. So the dogs will be challenging Mystico and jet speed for the truest titles on collision. This raises a very interesting conundrum about where Gabe kids lies on spectrum right now because. Well, he might be on the spectrum. I don't know. [01:11:33] Speaker B: I mean, I was gonna say. So we're gonna have to get him an eye. [01:11:37] Speaker A: All right, so. All right, all right. Let's say like the, the good guy, bad guy. [01:11:42] Speaker B: I'm sorry. I'm gay kid's parent. I'm taking him to school. School [01:11:47] Speaker A: who hates who aw? Spectrum, because. All right, all right. So, like, check it out. The dogs are like, somewhat affiliated with the death riders. Yeah. And like, Gabe's. Gabe's team with them a lot. [01:11:58] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:11:59] Speaker A: However, because they have now brought in the new Japan contingent tonight, Gabe actually helped Callum Newman and Will Osprey in Japan. And he put on everything. He had an aw shirt on. It was just like New Japan. Japan Aw for life. But yeah, I guess, like, that continuity doesn't work or count. I don't know. I thought it was weird. Yeah, it probably doesn't. I'm not too worried about it. Jet speed. [01:12:33] Speaker C: It'll get strained out Collision. [01:12:36] Speaker A: Yeah. Nobody gives a. It's kid kid right now. Nobody gives a Lexi's With Tecla. And we're all. The world is a better place for it. [01:12:49] Speaker C: Oh, a wild ass promo. And it wasn't in the rebroadcast I watched. [01:12:58] Speaker A: It was a little extreme. [01:13:00] Speaker B: Wait, what? Wait, what? [01:13:02] Speaker A: Did they cut it? [01:13:05] Speaker C: I. I do not know. And I am unwilling at this point in time to go off of what I watched based on the source of what I want as any sort of standard. But I didn't because I was. I didn't see it on my re. Watch. [01:13:22] Speaker B: Oh, well, what was your. [01:13:23] Speaker A: Your. [01:13:24] Speaker B: All right, wait, I'm not sure I understand what you're saying. I'm very confused. [01:13:29] Speaker A: I think they're saying that they re watched it and this promo was cut. [01:13:33] Speaker C: Yes. [01:13:33] Speaker A: Or it wasn't on. [01:13:34] Speaker C: But also, I did not watch. Was not a kosher watch. [01:13:39] Speaker B: Oh, were you. Oh, were you sailing the high seas? [01:13:42] Speaker C: I was sailing the high seas. Oh, I was so stoned. [01:13:47] Speaker B: Oh. Oh, that's it. [01:13:48] Speaker A: Okay, you know what? This is not the first time that's happened. Like, there's definitely been other times we've recapped episodes and somebody's been like, well, this. And I was like, what the are you talking about? [01:13:58] Speaker C: Yeah, I. That's why I was just like. I, Like, I thought it was weird and. But I. And then I was like, I don't want. It's an interesting. At a point, but I'm not willing to be like, I'm not going to [01:14:08] Speaker B: blame drugs for it, but I absolutely did get distracted enough that I missed the end of the last segment that we were talking about. And I'm very sad. I'm happy that we're here for Tekla. And I think it's funny if this segment was so hot that it got cut because. Because I. I was tempted to get down on my bum knee. I don't know about y'. [01:14:33] Speaker C: All. [01:14:33] Speaker B: I. I believe I posted on Blue Sky. Thekla, why are Tekla. Why are you dombing me through the television? And why is it working? [01:14:41] Speaker C: Not to be parasocial, but here's my address, so. [01:14:45] Speaker B: Oh, my God. [01:14:47] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:14:49] Speaker B: Oh, my God. God, this segment, like, she's got. [01:14:54] Speaker C: She. [01:14:55] Speaker B: She's got to be stopped. No, like, I'm not gonna make it, y'. [01:15:02] Speaker A: All. She hasn't even reached her final form, I assume. [01:15:05] Speaker C: I know it's only gonna get better, right? [01:15:08] Speaker A: So. So techno. So. So Lexi asked Tekla, what's it like defending. Gonna be like defending the title against former champion Jamie Hayter? And Tecla informs her, hey, Lexi, if you ask me about Jamie being A former champion again. I'm gonna take you out for a nice seafood dinner, and she's gonna take you to the strip club where she's gonna on stage and break all her fingers. [01:15:33] Speaker C: Yep. Wait, [01:15:42] Speaker B: Lexi's face react. Facial reactions to this little journey that she's taken on. [01:15:49] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:15:50] Speaker B: Is amazing. [01:15:52] Speaker A: I. I gotta say, though, like, that that's not a bad first date. [01:15:57] Speaker B: No, I'm. I'm fine. I'm very into it. I'm not using them like, I'm not using them right now. You can break them. That's fine. Mother, please. [01:16:11] Speaker C: Dating in 2026 is grim, y'. [01:16:13] Speaker A: All. [01:16:13] Speaker C: What the hell? Yeah, until the finger breaking. [01:16:17] Speaker B: Look, the. Look, we're. Look, things are thawing. Things are thawing. The queers that have maybe. Oh, that's true. [01:16:26] Speaker C: It's spring. [01:16:28] Speaker B: Yeah. Those of us that have maybe not had sexual relations and a very long time are having a hard time with thecla's whole thing right now. Tekla is going to kill me. I'm worried. I, like. Like, I can't stop wrestling because the human body can get only so turned on. Before you just die, you just. Spontaneous tranny combustion. It's all. It's all done. Okay. [01:17:03] Speaker A: She lets Jamie know that the kingdom has changed since she was the champ. And Tecla targeted her first when she debuted because she knew Jamie was an easy target because she's the dumbest alive. After she's done with her, she'll be the dumbest dead. Good God. [01:17:20] Speaker B: Such a good line. Such a good line. [01:17:25] Speaker C: Just inject it and to me. [01:17:28] Speaker A: Yes. [01:17:28] Speaker B: Jesus Christ. [01:17:29] Speaker C: And just to be clear here, I'm not kink shaming. I'm just kink asking why. [01:17:34] Speaker A: That's all. [01:17:35] Speaker C: That's all. [01:17:36] Speaker B: Oh, about the fingers? Yeah, I don't know either. I stopped paying attention after the seafood. [01:17:42] Speaker A: If. I mean, honestly, like, seafood dinner. [01:17:46] Speaker B: You had me at se. [01:17:48] Speaker A: Yeah, seafood dinner. Yeah. She's like, I'm gonna take you out for a seafood dinner. Oh, nice. And then the strip club. Interesting. Break your fingers. Why don't we see how the date goes? Yeah. Yeah, that's right. [01:18:00] Speaker B: I'm like, let's see how good the seafood is. [01:18:05] Speaker C: The energy. [01:18:06] Speaker B: What's the energy at the strip club like? Yeah, you know, like, maybe I'm. Maybe I'm like, you know what, honey? Break my fingers. I'm into. I'm just really feeling it tonight. [01:18:20] Speaker A: All right, so after we're done with. After we're done with mom and now Dad's home. [01:18:27] Speaker C: Very nice. Very nice. [01:18:29] Speaker A: Copeland and Christian are here, and they come to the ring to do their little promo thing. And I'm just like, I. I don't know if I care because, like, we've had. We have had a lot of promos, and there's still Kenny promo coming and, [01:18:45] Speaker B: oh, mommy and daddy are home. Yeah. What a. What a week. [01:18:51] Speaker A: Cook gets on the mic first, tells FTR they're jealous because, like, actually, yeah, when he. He helped him out, but they were his henchmen, but he wasn't like, they're. They're mad at him because he won't fit into their small little world. And add dynasty, Cajun Cope will, uh, reclaim their spot as the best tag team at the business. Christian gets the mic, tells ftr, wherever they are, to sit down, shut their mouths, and let Christian conduct his business. They pissed both of them off. And all of Canada, they've been very naughty. And as a father, Christian had to visit their moms. And he banged them. [01:19:34] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:19:36] Speaker A: Which gets one of the biggest pops cops in weeks. [01:19:40] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:19:41] Speaker B: Oh, the delivery. The. This man's delivery. I had to visit your mother's, which, I mean, I banged them both and, like, dead into the camera. [01:19:55] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:19:56] Speaker B: And, God, I love him so much. [01:19:59] Speaker A: And he lets Stokely Hathaway know that once they've got the titles, he's got to pay Stokes mom a visit, too. [01:20:05] Speaker C: I like that. It's the special treatment that's a tag team champion. She's. She's doing it, [01:20:13] Speaker A: I think. [01:20:14] Speaker C: Mama Stokely, honestly, I mean, we'll see. [01:20:17] Speaker A: I mean, oh, my God. [01:20:22] Speaker B: Forever. Forever and ever. How does he just keep getting better at this bit? The. The. This. It all, like. Because this all started because of Jungle boy's dead dad, right? [01:20:34] Speaker A: Yeah. I heard you have a father and your father is dead. [01:20:38] Speaker B: Father's dead. [01:20:39] Speaker A: I think it was dead. Oh, no, no, it was. Yeah. [01:20:43] Speaker B: No, no, no, it was Jack Perry. Yeah, I hear that. Dead. Oh, holy. And he's been riding this. It just keeps getting better. It can't ever stop. It's the greatest. I visited your mother's and I banged them ball. [01:21:01] Speaker C: It's. It is. It's. It's the same bit. It's the same energy, but it's just. I think it evolves with the time and whoever he's. [01:21:14] Speaker B: Yeah, that's just it. [01:21:16] Speaker A: It's. [01:21:17] Speaker B: It's. It's a mortal daddy. He's just this stepdad energy that he's gonna ride to retirement. And it's so good. I don't ever want it to end. Oh, my God. [01:21:35] Speaker A: I was thinking. [01:21:35] Speaker B: I was thinking and giggling about this so hard, I totally forgot to make the Lucky Charms joke about Dave Finley. Anyways, continue. [01:21:43] Speaker A: Yeah. So FDR's music hits, and they come out, but Rongi Vice attacks from behind. Because remember last week, they were jerking off in their locker room? [01:21:53] Speaker B: So, yeah, more like repugnant Vice. [01:21:57] Speaker A: Well, that's. Yeah. Well, roppongi is just gross. I don't like roppongi. I don't go there if I can avoid it. It's. [01:22:04] Speaker B: I don't know what it is. [01:22:05] Speaker A: It's. It's like. It's like a district in Tokyo that's, like, kind of famous for being where foreigners hang out, but, like, really sleazy, scummy foreigners. It's like sleazy and scummy and those guys you want to get. But, like. So, like, they were, like, the guys who go to Rongi. They're the Rongi Vice. [01:22:25] Speaker B: Yeah, that makes. All right, I didn't know. Yeah. See, I had no idea what repungi was. But I, I, I know that it sounds, like, repugnant, and that's very funny to me because I like a pun. [01:22:38] Speaker A: I don't. I don't like rongi. It's like, the kind of place, like, you feel like you need to get your shots done after you walk through it. [01:22:45] Speaker B: I'm sure I would probably have a good time and then also, like, go get my shots. But, you know, that's just safety. [01:22:52] Speaker A: Safety. Yep. So they. They beat. They beat up Cope and Cage. Christian gets clocked with the belt by Stokely. Is like, they throw. Basically, they throw Stokely. They throw Christian at Stokely, hit him with the belt, and then they throw Stokely in the cage with a spear, and he does, like, the big afterwards. And then they take the chair and they pillmanize Christian Cage's arm. And this is after Stokely steals his watch. And Excalibur informs us that this is bad news for Christian Cage and Adam Copeland. And I'm gonna plug my blue sky for a second, because when after this happened, I posted, they pillmanized the hand that Christian fingered their moms with. Which you, like, immediate. Like a bunch of people being like, what the is wrong with you? [01:23:55] Speaker B: And to that I say, have you listened to the show? [01:24:02] Speaker A: The first person, that guy was just like, eric, no, no, no. [01:24:08] Speaker C: Yes. Yes. [01:24:10] Speaker B: No, I'm over here. Yeah. [01:24:14] Speaker A: I've had posts during live skating that, like, do numbers, but, like, I've never had one that was just, like, instant, like, five comments being like, what's your problem? Why. Why did you do this? [01:24:27] Speaker B: Why did you put all those words of that order? [01:24:33] Speaker A: But, yeah, well, so it. [01:24:36] Speaker C: Is he South Paul, or is he right handed? Do you know? [01:24:41] Speaker A: I have no idea. I'm just saying, I just. [01:24:43] Speaker C: It was his left hand, his left arm. Sorry. [01:24:46] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm just going with you. [01:24:48] Speaker B: Did he say he. Did he say that he visited the mother separately or. If it was a group meeting? It could have been. Never mind. [01:24:55] Speaker A: I. I think it was individual. Yeah. I would imagine. Like, I think that Mama Bald and Mama Gun are. Maybe they're not quite into, like, the three way. That might be a little bit weird. [01:25:08] Speaker C: I think that'd be a hard sell. Maybe. [01:25:12] Speaker A: Possibly. [01:25:12] Speaker C: Yep. [01:25:13] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:25:14] Speaker B: Our kids are best friends. They could never know. But then, like, Chris Cage is like, oh, I'll never tell anyone. Don't worry about it. Don't worry about it. No one will ever know. [01:25:28] Speaker A: Sandwich. [01:25:30] Speaker C: Yeah. Ftr, Mom. [01:25:39] Speaker A: I got a little tired halfway through, but you might say they gave my dick a revival. [01:25:48] Speaker B: Jesus Christ. [01:25:51] Speaker A: We know. [01:25:52] Speaker B: You know, they say the revival. And I said, their mom. [01:26:04] Speaker A: Challenge accepted, but I'm not into guys. [01:26:06] Speaker B: So I went, yeah, thank you. That's where I was headed. [01:26:10] Speaker A: Yeah, I'm straight. [01:26:16] Speaker B: Oh, Daddy. All right. After Mommy. After Mommy and Daddy, I'm. I'm done. I'm all like, is there more wrestling after this? Holy. [01:26:25] Speaker A: Well, there's. There's, like, a little prom. Darby does a little promo where he points out that, like, actually, wait, I was dumb. I do want the title. I do care who wins it. [01:26:36] Speaker B: Jesus. And he got zero heat. Like, like, in the. Sounded like nobody reacted to that at all. [01:26:47] Speaker A: He, like, sort of admits that, like, his whole I don't care if I live or die is a lie, because he just wants to win the title and he wants to be the face of the company. And Andrade doesn't understand something. Something. Whoever walks out is going to be champion, and he needs it because he's done all this. Okay. [01:27:06] Speaker C: Yeah. What is it all for? The fire, the glass, the blood. What's it all for? [01:27:11] Speaker A: To come. [01:27:14] Speaker C: This is the teenage brother, I guess, is the way that we're ending this on. [01:27:20] Speaker A: Like, it's. Well. All right, so. Geez. All right, well, see, this was actually really cool. What happens next? Next is chaos in Canada. [01:27:29] Speaker B: Yeah. No, I'm gonna say no. This was fun. [01:27:32] Speaker A: This was awesome. I love this. [01:27:34] Speaker B: I am the table. Yeah. Yeah. [01:27:38] Speaker A: Oh, my God. Poor. [01:27:40] Speaker B: All right, we'll get there. [01:27:41] Speaker A: Daniel Garcia. Yeah. [01:27:44] Speaker C: Why wouldn't you Want to end on this? Sorry. Okay. I'm shutting my mouth. [01:27:49] Speaker A: All right. [01:27:50] Speaker C: Sorry. [01:27:50] Speaker A: Will Osprey, Francesco Akira H and Callum Newman versus John Moxley, Claudia Casiol, Daniel Garcia and Pack. And they're just like, they're kind of just doing what's it called, Anarchy in the arena style rules. And they're just brawling all in the crowd. [01:28:07] Speaker B: They go, we'll do a mini one. Yeah, yeah. [01:28:10] Speaker A: Alex Windsor runs out, goes after Marina and they chase each other off. And they're going to wrestle on Zero Hour for the new Japan Strong title, I think is what Windsor has. I forget which one she's got. And they're just doing all over the place. Akira hits a. Gets a ass ladder and does a dive on the floor. Crowds. [01:28:33] Speaker C: Oh, God, that letter leaf was. Oh, God. Yeah, it was cool. [01:28:36] Speaker A: It was cool. He's. He's a. He's a. He's a speedy little Italian this. [01:28:42] Speaker C: It was such a delight watching him. I. I mean, I love me some cruiserweights, peak cruiserweight, just constant great spots. Rip him and Daniel Garcia. But other than that, like, thing that [01:29:01] Speaker A: I mentioned, like, they. Was it. Voices of Wrestling did their, their usual like, AW fan survey thing. They did their fan survey and like, I wanted, like, I filled it out and one of the things I put up and it did make the list, like they printed it was I said like, I like that. AW brings in guys from other companies and they like come in unfiltered. And like, even if hamper. You'd never seen any of these United Empire guys before, right? No, you got to see them do their. And you. [01:29:32] Speaker C: Oh, absolutely. [01:29:33] Speaker A: Correct. [01:29:34] Speaker C: Oh, yeah, right. Absolutely. Oh, yeah. [01:29:36] Speaker A: Like, [01:29:39] Speaker B: even if he did, you know, even if the champion of your company, like, just can't make the table, like, what do you. [01:29:49] Speaker A: That was. That wasn't. That was new. That was. Newman's the champion. That's. That's not. That was. [01:29:54] Speaker B: Oh, okay. [01:29:55] Speaker A: Akira was the guy who, who died at the table. [01:29:59] Speaker B: Okay. [01:29:59] Speaker A: Yeah, right. [01:30:02] Speaker B: I got them confused in my brain. Pardon me. [01:30:06] Speaker A: But yeah, kind of similar. Yeah. So they, they get at the tables when the crowd starts chanting for it and Deaths. Death Riders start fighting back. Pac goes after Osprey's neck. Like last week. Akira comes in for the save with that and they have like a face off where they're just like high speed doing. [01:30:27] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:30:27] Speaker A: Edit rules. [01:30:31] Speaker C: Yeah. I pro. Akira plus pack equals heart. [01:30:35] Speaker A: Yes. [01:30:36] Speaker C: That back and forth was just so. [01:30:38] Speaker B: Yeah, run that back. [01:30:39] Speaker A: Yeah, I want to see that. [01:30:41] Speaker B: God, that'd be a forbidden doorman. [01:30:43] Speaker C: It's so funny because I'm like, hell, yeah. That's exactly the match for Pack. And then later on, he holds his own against Hanare. And I was like, what the. That's the perfect match for Park. [01:30:58] Speaker B: Like, yeah, I love him. [01:31:02] Speaker C: He's so good. [01:31:03] Speaker B: He's the best Little. [01:31:04] Speaker C: Just a little bathroom. [01:31:06] Speaker A: A little guy. He's just a little guy. [01:31:08] Speaker B: He's a little bastard. He's just so wet, and sometimes he's dry, and it's so weird. [01:31:12] Speaker A: He's a man of extremes. [01:31:17] Speaker C: Wet and dry. Never anything else. [01:31:19] Speaker A: Anyways, I am losing my voice. Oh, God. Yeah. So they come back for commercial Osprey and. Osprey and Newman hit stereo dives. And then they get in another table and they pull the chairs out. So, like, now they've got, like, the chairs set up next to the table, and they, like, are gonna tease putting somebody from the stairs through the table for, like, 20 minutes. [01:31:40] Speaker B: Oh, my God. Yeah. These tables. And they just keep doing Chekhov's table. And about, like, halfway through. Through it, I realized, oh, they're gonna do the countdown thing that they like to do. They keep setting up the checkoffs tables. [01:31:52] Speaker C: There's one in the ring later on, too. [01:31:55] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:31:55] Speaker A: So they wrestle around. Newman and Aspire are gonna double suplex Mox to the table, but Claudio comes in, stops him. He just, like, throws Callum Newman aside, like. And then breaks Osprey's spine. This is my favorite. [01:32:14] Speaker C: One of my favorite bits because Claudio does this, like, another time, and then also catches a person and breaks them. [01:32:23] Speaker B: It's not Claudio's. [01:32:25] Speaker A: The. [01:32:27] Speaker C: Oh, my God. [01:32:28] Speaker A: Such a freak of nature. [01:32:31] Speaker C: Not human, just. [01:32:33] Speaker B: Well, yeah. Yeah, he's certainly not human. [01:32:36] Speaker A: He's Swiss. Yes. [01:32:38] Speaker C: Yes. [01:32:42] Speaker A: Death Riders run a train on Newman in the ring. And then Garcia. Garcia hasn't taken his hoodie off. [01:32:50] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:32:50] Speaker A: The whole match at this point because he's just been getting his ass beat. But, like, now he's standing on Osprey's back, and he removes the hoodie and gets a big pop because now he's naked. That's. [01:33:03] Speaker B: Oh, that was awesome. [01:33:05] Speaker A: They tried doing the. The chain charges on Hinari, but he just actually. He says, like, actually, you guys. And runs all over all of them instead. [01:33:16] Speaker C: I don't have to take this, actually. I'm bigger than you, [01:33:21] Speaker A: and I was going to put somebody through a table. And Claudia makes a save again. [01:33:26] Speaker C: Yep. [01:33:27] Speaker A: All right, so then this is. This is like, every so often, Claudia just has to do something abnormal. Like, abnormal. So. [01:33:35] Speaker B: Yeah, so. [01:33:38] Speaker A: So what he does Is like, I. I rewatched it because, like, I wanted to see, like, the exact sequence of events. So, like, he somehow acquires Hanari in, like, a fallaway slam position and then just, like, kind of walks him halfway around the ring and then puts him up in a vertical suplex, walks the rest of the way around the ring to the entrance where the table is, and then just deposits. It's him through the table. [01:34:05] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:34:07] Speaker C: There was table five feet behind him. [01:34:12] Speaker A: He walked past, like, two tables to do this. [01:34:16] Speaker B: Yeah. No, you don't understand me. I needed. He's like. Everyone else is like, what? It's like, why would you do this? And he's sitting here going, you don't understand. While everyone was setting up these checkoffs tables, I was keeping track. Track in my Swiss brain of what order in which the tables are being set up. And because I am, and because I'm super Swiss and also probably on the spectrum, I had to make sure that they were destroyed in. In the proper order or it wouldn't be right. [01:34:48] Speaker A: Holy. [01:34:50] Speaker B: Yep. This brought to you by Ella's own neurodivergence. Because I absolutely try to keep track of when tables got wind up with it. And if they were doing that, please don't judge me. Thank you. Thank you. [01:35:07] Speaker A: I just appreciated that, like, of all the guys in this match, he could have done this, too. He picked the biggest guy on the other team. [01:35:13] Speaker C: Yes. [01:35:14] Speaker B: Yeah. He's like, I'm gonna show you, you know what? Yeah, you. [01:35:19] Speaker C: That's why. 511. What's he build out? Wait, five. Jesus. Dyslexia. 254. [01:35:28] Speaker B: Yeah. That's a big. That's a big man. [01:35:30] Speaker A: He's a big guy. [01:35:31] Speaker B: Gentleman. [01:35:32] Speaker A: He's not super huge, but, like, that's not a small human. [01:35:35] Speaker B: No, no, that's a. That's a. That. That's a decent chunk of man right there. [01:35:39] Speaker C: That's. That's a. Yeah. Slap a man. Yeah. [01:35:41] Speaker A: Flat. That's a slab of beef. [01:35:43] Speaker B: That's a. [01:35:43] Speaker A: That's a slab of bees. Thank you, George. [01:35:46] Speaker B: Thank you, George. Yeah, thanks. Why is it Yuda in this one? [01:35:52] Speaker A: I don't know. [01:35:53] Speaker B: All right, it's up, I tell you. [01:35:56] Speaker A: So Max has a kendo stick, and then he begins to stab Will Osprey in the face with the broken. [01:36:08] Speaker C: The crowd goes, you sick? [01:36:11] Speaker A: Yep. The broken bits of kendo stick. He begins to stab William Osprey in the face with it. [01:36:18] Speaker C: Oh, my God. [01:36:19] Speaker A: And then goes a step further and takes a piece of that shattered candlestick and puts it up his nose. Yeah. [01:36:29] Speaker B: Like, in case you forgot who I. I was. [01:36:32] Speaker C: I was like, oh, is there gonna be blood? I should have expected that. [01:36:36] Speaker A: This is, like, surprisingly, there wasn't. I don't know how there wasn't, but there wasn't. [01:36:44] Speaker B: They didn't. They didn't want to get the. The Edmonton creature pink. [01:36:54] Speaker A: The moose? [01:36:55] Speaker B: Yeah, the moose. [01:36:58] Speaker A: Oh, the river moose is here. Oh, no. [01:37:00] Speaker B: John Moxley smelled the blood. Mox, we told you no blading in Edmonton because of the river moves there. [01:37:07] Speaker C: My God, it's got a Cheerio. [01:37:10] Speaker B: Oh, geez. [01:37:12] Speaker C: Off the top rope, someone. [01:37:14] Speaker B: The only thing it responds to is Tim Bits. Okay, we gotta lure it back. [01:37:20] Speaker C: I think Tim Bits are pieces of Tim Horn. Okay, sorry. Please continue. What the. Sorry. [01:37:30] Speaker B: Just because. Just because we're. The Body Horror Wrestling podcast. Like, Jesus Christ. It's been a pretty horrifying episode, folks. If you made it this far, like, good on you. [01:37:43] Speaker A: Is it that bad? I don't think it's that bad. No. [01:37:46] Speaker C: This is actually quite tame. [01:37:48] Speaker A: This isn't that bad. I haven't even. Yeah. All right, so they did the thing, and then Mox, like, holds Will in the middle of the ring for like, a minute in a pile driver position, and then just, like, jumps straight up in the air and drops him on his head. And that was just like, Holy. My God. Yeah, and then he just follows that up by pulling it up and just, like, loving him in the face. Yeah. He's like, this is awesome. Keep doing it. Hit him harder. Also, by the way, there's a corner. There's a table set up in the corner corner. [01:38:28] Speaker B: Yep. Oh, and we got everybody one up, one down. All's right with the world. [01:38:34] Speaker A: All right, so now Ospre's in a. In a choke hold, but Hanari saves him. Claudio throws Hanari for a popup uppercut. Good Lord. And then they just do, like, a series of, like, everybody hitting big moves. Ends with Garcia taking out Akira. Osper gets him. Mox fights him off. Garcia hits that flying arm bar that he turns into the dragon tamer, which gets, like, a gigantic boo because he's doing a sharpshooter in Canada and he's a bad guy. [01:39:02] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:39:02] Speaker B: How dare you? And. And he's doing not the greatest sharpshooter, Danny Garcia. I. I think he tries to do it. He. He's like, I'm doing it, like, different because it's a dragon chamber. It's like, well, no, you're just doing it shitty. [01:39:15] Speaker A: It's not that bad. And he's also got to set it up so that, like, the other person can push themselves up for. [01:39:22] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:39:23] Speaker A: Box to hit the curb. Stomp. [01:39:26] Speaker B: Yeah, this is true. This is also true. [01:39:29] Speaker A: All right. Not like Akira's, like, alone in the ring with Mox at this point. It's just like, oh, let's go. And they talk, shoves them. Akira doesn't back down and gets taken out. Cal Newman comes in, and now it's like, big deal. IWGP champion head to head with John Moxley. They trade strikes. Newman wins. Osprey comes in, takes out Garcia. And then they hit stereo O cutters. [01:39:56] Speaker B: That was pretty sick. [01:39:57] Speaker A: I got. [01:39:58] Speaker B: That was pretty. That was very pretty. [01:40:00] Speaker A: Which is so funny because they've definitely been teasing that Newman wants to turn on Osprey in New Japan. And now he's here being like, I love you, my master, my mentor, my everything. God. All right, so Claudia comes in, does. Does a giant swing to Osprey. He, like, almost, like, throws him head first into the table. [01:40:26] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:40:26] Speaker A: You know, it cuts him off, saves Akira from the table and puts Claudia through it. Death Riders all get put through tables. Double stop. [01:40:35] Speaker C: Not all of them. [01:40:36] Speaker A: Not all. Akira attempts to splash Danny Garcia once. The table does not break. [01:40:51] Speaker B: No, this is what's great, is he tried to slam him first. He tries to slam him and he doesn't go through. And then the camera's like, all right, well, we're going to cut to the next table because that one didn't work. They'll figure it out. Then they go. Then they catch another table break, and it's like, cool. Now let's see. Let's go back and see what's happening with this other table. What was going on here? Remember that table? It didn't quite go. I. Someone was like, all right, okay. And so they go back and it's like, all right, now he's going to splash him and he just misses him. [01:41:30] Speaker A: You just look like it sucks. [01:41:36] Speaker B: Yeah. And the table, most importantly, the table did not break. [01:41:42] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:41:44] Speaker C: And it sucked. Mostly for Daniel Garcia. [01:41:47] Speaker B: Yeah. I'm gonna be on Boccamania so hard. [01:41:52] Speaker A: He's like, ah. Matthew saw that. [01:41:56] Speaker B: Matthew totally saw that. There's no way Matthew didn't see that. Oh, no. [01:42:00] Speaker A: Everybody saw. Saw that, everyone. [01:42:02] Speaker B: I'm pretty. I'm pretty. I'm pretty sure that, that, that. I'm pretty sure that table survived the match, which is just. [01:42:10] Speaker A: Yeah, it did that. [01:42:12] Speaker B: That table is now a champion of some sort. Get that table a belt. [01:42:17] Speaker A: So now we got Mox and Osprey. Alone in the ring, Mox just hits like 15 paradigm shifts on in a row. And like he's not, he's not gonna stop. It was 15. I don't know why. You know it had account just because you only. [01:42:38] Speaker C: I only have three fingers on my. [01:42:41] Speaker B: I mean he's like, I'm gonna treat this neck like, like pop Christian treated FDR bald's mom like just. [01:42:49] Speaker C: Oh, damn. [01:42:50] Speaker A: Yep. [01:42:53] Speaker B: I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. [01:42:58] Speaker A: He's basically just gonna do paradigm shifts until he dies. Osprey hits a hidden blade to Mox and puts him through the table. That's wrapped up in the corner. They covered and they covered both of them together. And that's it. United Empire wins. Good stuff. [01:43:20] Speaker C: My friend Katie calls them the UK Green Rangers because they were rocking green. [01:43:28] Speaker A: Yeah, green. Green and white is their color, I believe. Mr. Me color. [01:43:32] Speaker B: Green and white and imperialism. [01:43:36] Speaker A: And imperialism and. All right, so we come back. Osprey once hit Tiger driver 91, but Claudio saves Mox commentary, believes that it's okay for Will to try to murder Mox's career since Mox did it two first. Because in wrestling, two wrongs make a right. [01:43:55] Speaker C: Yeah, it's. [01:43:56] Speaker B: That's, it's math. Yeah, it's starter math. [01:43:59] Speaker A: We get a, we get a basically a response video package for Kenny Omega to MJFS about has like you know, his entire career before he was in AW and his whole legacy and everything he's done. So there's. He comes out and he has to say he's coming out live and at least has some air of seriousness to it compared to the. Oh God, what was that they did last time? The press conference. The suck ass press conference. [01:44:34] Speaker B: Oh yeah. [01:44:35] Speaker A: Oh yeah, yeah, the press conference that was, that was. Sakati talks about how he got started in Edmonton. Thanks everybody for supporting him. Him. We are friends and if speedball hadn't helped him last week, he would have played into Max's hands and lost his title shot. But what made him mad, Was it because he mentioned a boosie? No. And it wasn't because he mentioned the pushy guts. He says, cry me a river. Hahaha. Lol. No, he's mad. [01:45:04] Speaker B: Yeah, he. Yeah, he mentioned his guts and CM Punk in the same breath. And I just want to say that the man is a wrestling God. Write that down. [01:45:16] Speaker A: Apparently what he was most upset about was the God of pro wrestling shots. Because as we know, many people were calling him that. He never called himself that. Many. [01:45:26] Speaker B: A lot of people are saying so [01:45:28] Speaker A: many people have been saying. [01:45:29] Speaker C: I didn't give me that. [01:45:31] Speaker B: I don't say. It's not for me to say. [01:45:33] Speaker A: It's not for me. But apparently I am. And if I'm God. And Max could talk his and that's what he's famous for. And lots of people do that. But Kenny can do anything they can do better. Anything that anybody else can do, Kenny can do it better. And every week he came out and he did what he does best and he remade wrestling in his own image. And that's what a God of professional wrestling does. And in Vancouver, he's got to take MJF's title and his greasy scarf and right the wrongs that Max has committed against. Aw. So it is written. So let it be done. This will come to pass and this omega promises. So MJF has to come out. At this point, my trailer feed crashed because, like this, this episode has gone on about as long as this recording has gone on for us. Like. Yeah. [01:46:26] Speaker B: And also as long as it needed to. Like that mat that the end. That that match happened. And that was the end. Right, right, right, right. They gotta stop doing this. [01:46:37] Speaker A: They gotta stop doing this. [01:46:38] Speaker C: MJF didn't just come out afterwards and. [01:46:43] Speaker A: No, he did. He did. He did. He did. He comes out y and he was listening and he likes how the. The idea that 2026 Kenny O is better than MJF and he's getting better at the promos. Talk yourself up. Lord knows you have to, because everyone is scared shitless because this might be Kenny's last shot with the time at the title. Actually, no, it will be. And remember the last time they wrestled, Kenny had the excuse that he lost because he was only at 75. So what's his excuse gonna be? Sunday, you're gonna find out the hard way that everyone who's crossed paths with Max and you'll find out that you. You're not on the level of the devil. Yeah. In front of Canada and the world, their God will fall and the devil will rise. Why? Because he's Maxwell Jacob Freeman and he's better than you and you know it. [01:47:37] Speaker B: Yeah, okay, sure. He's gonna lose [01:47:43] Speaker A: so hard. [01:47:44] Speaker B: He's gonna lose the hardest he's ever lost. [01:47:47] Speaker A: Kenny. Kenny says he learns a little bit about Max every time they speak like this. They title and protecting it is something important to Max and something that he respects. But will he respect tradition and shake Kenny's hand before their title match? It's the last chance of civility before they fight. Let bygones Be the bygones and get one picture for the jurors. Shake my damn hand, Max. And Max takes a swing. Yep. And gets troubles. [01:48:16] Speaker B: Yep. Because Kenny knew. He was like, well, of course. So here's a knee to your face. And. And because we're not in a match, it's going to kn. [01:48:23] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:48:24] Speaker B: Because that is the. The logic of professional wrestling. [01:48:28] Speaker A: So, yeah, Max. Max had taken a swing with the diamond ring. So he says, ah, Max, you're so predictable. He takes the ring, and it takes [01:48:35] Speaker B: the ring off of him, which is kind of nice. Yeah. [01:48:38] Speaker A: He knows Max. [01:48:40] Speaker B: Yeah. Just mug him, actually. [01:48:42] Speaker A: Yeah, he did. [01:48:43] Speaker B: He got, like, three of them. [01:48:45] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:48:46] Speaker C: He drops it on him, though, at the end. [01:48:47] Speaker A: Oh, he did. All right. I missed that because, like I said, my trailer feed cut out and I had to go track this down elsewhere. Yep. So, yeah, he knows Max. He studied him. And this is not gonna go how he thinks it will go. And it will end with Omega winning and wishing the crowd goodbye and good night. Bang. [01:49:11] Speaker B: And then I was like, okay, I can't be that upset. Yeah. And seeing this Q battle cry is right. Yeah. And like. And then that happened. I was like, okay, I'm not that upset because we got the. The Kenny sign off. But also, it's this. It's extremely important that I get this in because I've been in and out. On account of the sleepiness, both of these men were exquisitely dressed for this segment. [01:49:41] Speaker C: I really liked Max's. [01:49:44] Speaker B: Max made some choices, but. But he is the devil. Kenneth Jerome was looking sharp, like, just sharp. [01:49:57] Speaker C: Good on, you know, brown suit with kind of blue. It wasn't pinstripes, but it reminded me of, like, blue. [01:50:04] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:50:04] Speaker C: Like omega color. [01:50:06] Speaker B: Oh, my God. Yeah. [01:50:08] Speaker A: Kenny cleans up nice. And he dressed up nicer for this. Thank you. He did. For Tanahashi's retirement. [01:50:13] Speaker B: He's the cleaner upper. That's kind of funny. That's actually. That's very funny. [01:50:18] Speaker A: Because he wore a tie for this, and I don't think he wore a tie. And the Tokyo Dome. No, he didn't. [01:50:24] Speaker B: Okay. But to be fair. To be fair, he wore a tie for this, but it wasn't straight at any point of the evening, so it's fine. And neither was he. So, you know, it matches. Hey, We Love by Icon. Oh, yeah. So that was a dynamite. [01:50:41] Speaker A: It was a dynamite. That was. I thought that was probably the best dynamite they've had in a bit. [01:50:50] Speaker B: It's been the best one in a few weeks. [01:50:53] Speaker A: I know it was talk heavy, but go Home dynamites usually are. It's like as is tradition, like they usually don't have like, usually the match quality is not this good. Good but like the matches were awesome. [01:51:07] Speaker B: That's the thing. It was talk heavy. But the matches we got, the graphs we got was good. That's real grass. Real grass. [01:51:14] Speaker A: This, this was, this was the kind of show where it's like if you're gonna be talk like the promos were good mostly. Was there a bad one? Maybe the Jericho one didn't really land for me. [01:51:24] Speaker B: Yeah, whatever. Well, you know what? You just made the list. [01:51:27] Speaker A: Erica, I'm on a list already, I promise you. [01:51:32] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, I was gonna say another one. [01:51:35] Speaker A: Yeah, I have hormones coming in the mail. I'm on a list. Trust me. [01:51:39] Speaker B: Yeah, [01:51:42] Speaker A: somebody's got, somebody knows where to find me when the time comes. But no. Yeah, it's. It's like I, I never get too mad about the, the promos on these kinds of episodes. But. And they usually like, usually like they close out a show with like a big title match coming up on a [01:52:01] Speaker B: pay per view with a promo towards that main event. [01:52:05] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So yeah, this wasn't bad. [01:52:09] Speaker B: It just kind of long. [01:52:11] Speaker A: It was very long. [01:52:14] Speaker C: Yeah. I didn't so admittedly when I watched it it was fresh off of bit toss salt over my shoulder. [01:52:23] Speaker B: Oh Jesus God. [01:52:25] Speaker C: Yeah, so was rough but on rewatch was a ton better and like I always forget that there is like an ebb and flow to like the, the matches, the cards, like what the performances that you're going to see. And yeah, I still feel like it was a bit too talky, but that's just me. [01:52:46] Speaker A: I see. I. This, this. I think, I think I mentioned this in the chat but like this totally comes from like me having watched through a lot of like the really dark, dark years of the Fed monopoly where yeah, you'd get like every single episode was talky. Every single episode started with a 30 minute promo where like guy would come out and be like interrupt each other. Interrupt each other just to set up the main event. [01:53:20] Speaker B: So like, oh yeah, that's your thing for a while too in the Fed. At least that when I, when I got close to stopping watching in the last couple years ago, they're doing this thing where like the, the card isn't. The card doesn't exist when the show starts in kayfabe basically because everyone has to set up the car. But coming out and talking to each other. Well, you know what, like let's fight tonight. And like it's like, and they're like, yeah, and, and like that just. It's like the whole thing is like that. And the Fed would do so like the whole like, so wait, I don't hate. Yeah, so like you said. And it's bad on top of that it's bad and it's very bad promos. So this was still an entertaining show. Yeah. If a bit talky. Definitely one of the. The better ones in weeks. I agree, Eric. [01:54:13] Speaker C: That I agree with. Yes. [01:54:15] Speaker A: And like that's, that's really been the thing because like the last few weeks have had lots of talky bits, but the promos have not been as good as they were tonight. [01:54:23] Speaker C: And yeah, I agree. That I agree with. Yeah. [01:54:25] Speaker A: And like, like what I think about like the, the. The cage and Cope FTR segment, like, I went into it not giving a. And I came out of it being like, okay, yeah, that was. I was into that and not entirely just because of the, you know, he. Their moms. But that helped. At least for me that helped. [01:54:44] Speaker B: But that helped immensely. [01:54:46] Speaker A: Yeah, but yeah, like, it, it just came down to quality and like they stepped up the quality a lot and like even. Yeah, like they didn't have osprey talk for 20 minutes and they, they've basically just been like, all right, his neck hurts but like it's not going to be. He's going to act like, you know, he's not. [01:55:04] Speaker C: Yes. [01:55:04] Speaker A: Incapable of moving if he takes a bump. Like, you're, like, you're not like, they, they moved so far away from that in this last match that it's just like. Yeah. [01:55:14] Speaker C: Yeah, actually very much so. Which one? Once. I mean, not that I didn't. But it once again leads credence just reinforces your stance. We're like, they wouldn't be. He wouldn't be out here doing this if he couldn't handle it. And but it was so nice to watch him not like, what the. [01:55:30] Speaker A: And it was. I know. I know for a fact that there was like wider spread criticism. Like, all right, so you're doing an angle where Kenny is potentially too hurt to wrestle but is wrestling anyway. And you're doing an angle where Osprey is potentially too hurt to wrestle and he's wrestling anyway, so what are we doing? And like they just like, all right, fine, drop it. It. Yeah, they survived their last weeks, so let's just go. And yeah, it was better for it. [01:55:55] Speaker B: And oh, I'm, I'm, I'm. I. I will say I'm more ready for Dynasty than I was Last week. [01:56:02] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:56:03] Speaker B: So that's good. And we should. We should go. We should go get on to Dynasty and get the. Out of here. I slept through dinner, and I need to eat food. What a great show. [01:56:15] Speaker A: Like a Chinese restaurant nearby or something. [01:56:17] Speaker B: I can't afford that. No, I got. I got leftover taco meat from 2 days ago I'm gonna make nachos with, so. Yeah, right. Microwave nachos. Let's go. So thank you all. Happy wrestling. For sure. It's important that we mention happy wrestling. [01:56:36] Speaker A: Always happy. [01:56:39] Speaker B: Yeah. Oh, God, that's right. Oh, we did it, didn't we?
