Yes, what's 0:06:24.120 --> 0:06:24.520 going on? 0:06:25.080 --> 0:06:25.680 No, a whole lot? 0:06:26.640 --> 0:06:30.400 How's everything sounding sounding? Seems like it's sounded fine. 0:06:30.320 --> 0:06:33.920 Pretty good. That's when dial's over there. I was, I 0:06:33.960 --> 0:06:34.719 don't know what you're. 0:06:34.560 --> 0:06:37.480 Doing right now. I was. I was doing an email 0:06:38.040 --> 0:06:40.080 about something completely unrelated everything else, and all of a 0:06:40.080 --> 0:06:44.040 sudden I heard the music. There's my twitch. Boy, did 0:06:44.040 --> 0:06:48.120 I miss those guys this weekend? I turned it on 0:06:48.200 --> 0:06:51.320 at the wrong time. All right, Well, let's talk about 0:06:51.360 --> 0:06:55.599 some stuff, all right, Roz. Tonight we have got King 0:06:55.640 --> 0:06:59.039 of the Rings semifinal matches. Guntherur is going to be 0:06:59.040 --> 0:07:04.840 facing Jay and Lyra val Kaira will be facing EO Sky, 0:07:05.960 --> 0:07:09.000 and Sammy Zain will be facing Chad Gable in a 0:07:09.080 --> 0:07:14.680 non tournament match. So guntherer and jay Uso is interesting 0:07:15.360 --> 0:07:18.600 because both guys they don't beat a lot. Actually they 0:07:18.640 --> 0:07:21.120 beat jay a lot more than Gunther. But I do 0:07:21.240 --> 0:07:24.800 feel that good chance jay Uso is winning. Let me 0:07:24.840 --> 0:07:28.520 get the whole brackets all right, all right, King of 0:07:28.520 --> 0:07:31.040 the Ring twenty twenty four. Good thing, I had these 0:07:31.120 --> 0:07:36.160 up before the show started. Okay, so here are here's 0:07:36.720 --> 0:07:41.280 here's where we are. Okay, we're down to these semi finals. Yes, 0:07:41.720 --> 0:07:46.440 so on the one side of the bracket, Gunther and 0:07:46.520 --> 0:07:50.520 jay Uso and also Randy Orton Tomatonga. One of those 0:07:50.560 --> 0:07:53.120 four is going to be the new King of the Ring. Gunther, 0:07:53.880 --> 0:08:00.320 jay Uso, Randy Orton, Tomatonga. Now, I believe that it's 0:08:00.320 --> 0:08:05.480 gonna come down to jay us So versus Tomatonga. I 0:08:05.480 --> 0:08:10.080 think Juso is winning, but I don't put it past 0:08:10.120 --> 0:08:13.400 them to have King Tonga. I think that's a possibility. 0:08:14.600 --> 0:08:18.280 But the thing is, I believe in the storyline. I 0:08:18.320 --> 0:08:24.480 believe in the storyline. You know, Tomatanga is currently he's 0:08:25.000 --> 0:08:29.840 ranked below Solo and he's ranked below Roman Reigns. Right, 0:08:30.040 --> 0:08:34.520 Roman Reigns are the tribal chief. But he's gone Okay, 0:08:34.559 --> 0:08:37.480 So Solo's kind of the new tribal chief, which is 0:08:37.520 --> 0:08:40.480 a very intricate storyline by the way, because he claims 0:08:40.480 --> 0:08:43.280 he's talking to Roman all the time. I don't buy 0:08:43.400 --> 0:08:48.240 for a second. But anyway, so Tomatanga being the king 0:08:49.400 --> 0:08:52.440 ranked third, like you could do a story if you're 0:08:52.440 --> 0:08:54.079 gonna do like a power struggle. I don't think they're 0:08:54.080 --> 0:08:57.440 doing that right now with Tomatanga. Whereas jay Uso, you know, 0:08:57.480 --> 0:09:02.560 he can now say he's the king of the former bloodline. Plus, 0:09:02.679 --> 0:09:04.280 jay USO's do a big win. 0:09:05.040 --> 0:09:05.240 You know. 0:09:05.320 --> 0:09:07.400 I talk to people the shows and they're like, you know, 0:09:07.480 --> 0:09:09.439 Jay's like the most over guy on the show. It's 0:09:09.440 --> 0:09:12.680 the exception of Cody. So I think that jay Uso 0:09:12.760 --> 0:09:15.960 is gonna win over tom A Tonga in the finals. 0:09:16.320 --> 0:09:21.480 Then we've got the women's side where we have Eo, 0:09:21.640 --> 0:09:27.679 sky Lyra, Naya and Bianca. 0:09:28.520 --> 0:09:33.600 Okay, m yeah, yeah, Well what's the matter? 0:09:35.040 --> 0:09:40.440 Well, I hate talking about stuff like this, you know, 0:09:40.720 --> 0:09:42.959 you know the you know the problem is with being 0:09:43.120 --> 0:09:47.640 me a lot of them. But one of the problems 0:09:47.640 --> 0:09:53.640 with being me is I am a a world renowned 0:09:54.000 --> 0:09:58.920 professional wrestling journalist and reporter, but I'm also a fan, 0:09:59.480 --> 0:10:01.880 Yes you are, so. I like to look at things 0:10:02.320 --> 0:10:06.040 through the fan lens and a humble fan, yes, and 0:10:06.120 --> 0:10:09.120 make predictions. But then sometimes when I do that, people 0:10:09.200 --> 0:10:15.640 presume that, well, I'm I'm telling you what's really happening, 0:10:16.080 --> 0:10:18.160 and then they write stupid stories on the Internet and 0:10:18.200 --> 0:10:21.360 people yell at me. You know what I'm saying. So 0:10:21.440 --> 0:10:22.920 here's what I'm gonna say about all of this. Okay, 0:10:24.640 --> 0:10:28.400 here's what I'm gonna say about all of this. So 0:10:29.760 --> 0:10:34.320 let's go back to the women's quarterfinals. Okay, all right, 0:10:34.840 --> 0:10:38.520 we had Shana Bezler and Eo sky Lyra and Zoe 0:10:38.559 --> 0:10:42.520 Stark and then we had Naya Jacks and Jade Cargill 0:10:43.559 --> 0:10:50.720 and Tiffany Stratton and Bianca bel Air. Yes, okay, yes, 0:10:52.280 --> 0:10:55.679 I don't know, man, whole thing's kind of weird. The 0:10:55.720 --> 0:11:01.199 whole thing's just kind of weird to me. Yeah, because 0:11:02.720 --> 0:11:07.839 there was a thing that happened with Tiffany Stratton where 0:11:08.000 --> 0:11:10.840 I won't go into all of the details, but essentially, 0:11:11.360 --> 0:11:14.040 and I could even be wrong on the details, but 0:11:14.720 --> 0:11:19.280 someone posted a video, I believe, on Instagram and it 0:11:19.320 --> 0:11:25.319 was footage of I guess Tiffany punching Jade. Is that right, Yes, 0:11:25.760 --> 0:11:30.040 and somebody had done a voiceover and said something that 0:11:30.160 --> 0:11:38.240 was certainly not right, okay, and Tiffany liked it, right, 0:11:38.400 --> 0:11:43.840 So what happened She liked it something, she acknowledged it 0:11:43.880 --> 0:11:48.200 in a positive way. We can say that, okay. So 0:11:48.360 --> 0:11:51.920 then you know, people were like what and then you know, 0:11:51.960 --> 0:11:54.880 they start looking, digging into her background and everything and 0:11:54.920 --> 0:11:58.160 finding things that they find questionable. And so it was. 0:11:58.559 --> 0:12:00.360 You know, I know that there are people that saying 0:12:00.360 --> 0:12:02.760 it was never a thing or whatever, but it was 0:12:02.800 --> 0:12:05.000 a thing. And I know this because I heard that 0:12:05.040 --> 0:12:07.360 it was a thing. I didn't even know what happened, 0:12:07.600 --> 0:12:09.320 and I had people that were telling me, you know, 0:12:10.040 --> 0:12:16.079 something's going on here, and ultimately nothing allegedly became of it. 0:12:17.040 --> 0:12:20.240 But you know, we had this this tournament here where 0:12:21.280 --> 0:12:27.160 I figured that Jade was going to beat Naya and 0:12:27.200 --> 0:12:30.680 Tiffany was going to beat Bianca, and so we would 0:12:30.720 --> 0:12:35.480 get Tiffany versus Jade in the semifinals. Okay, I thought 0:12:35.559 --> 0:12:38.960 Jade was going to win the entire thing. Okay, But 0:12:39.160 --> 0:12:44.199 what happened was Tiffany ends up losing to Bianca. Now, 0:12:44.320 --> 0:12:47.040 maybe listen, I want to make this clear. Maybe this 0:12:47.240 --> 0:12:50.200 was the entire plan all the way from day one. Okay, 0:12:50.280 --> 0:12:54.679 that is certainly possible. But coming off this controversy, Tiffany 0:12:54.760 --> 0:12:59.080 loses to Bianca, and I was pretty certain that they 0:12:59.080 --> 0:13:01.280 were not going to do Bianca and Jade in this tournament. 0:13:02.200 --> 0:13:07.360 So Bianca moves on in the tournament, and then Jade 0:13:07.360 --> 0:13:11.640 Cargill loses via d Q in the lamest finish ever 0:13:12.440 --> 0:13:20.600 to Nya Jacks. Okay, I don't know, man. I think 0:13:20.640 --> 0:13:24.400 that it's possible that Tiffany and Jade were gonna move 0:13:24.400 --> 0:13:28.200 on to the semifinals and that is where they were 0:13:28.240 --> 0:13:30.000 gonna do whatever they're gonna do with the Jade if 0:13:30.000 --> 0:13:32.559 she wasn't gonna win, I can't imagine that because of 0:13:32.640 --> 0:13:34.760 something that happen with Tiffany, Jade is no longer winning 0:13:34.760 --> 0:13:38.079 a tournament she was gonna win. But maybe Tiffany and 0:13:38.720 --> 0:13:41.280 Jade they were gonna do the same chair finish or whatever. 0:13:41.320 --> 0:13:44.160 Tiffany goes on to the finals and then either wins 0:13:44.160 --> 0:13:46.400 the entire tournament, which a lot of people have been 0:13:46.440 --> 0:13:49.000 saying maybe Tiffany could win the tournament, or losing to 0:13:49.400 --> 0:13:53.120 whoever wins the EO Lyra match. So I can't say 0:13:53.120 --> 0:13:58.280 that this happened. I don't know, but Nya, Jackson, Bianca, 0:13:58.320 --> 0:14:02.560 bell Air and this and then Eosky and Lyra, Like 0:14:02.600 --> 0:14:04.200 I just look at these four and it's like, what 0:14:04.320 --> 0:14:09.920 are the finals? Like, what are the finals? EO versus Nya, 0:14:10.320 --> 0:14:15.960 EO versus Bianca, Lyra and Bianca, Like it's just weird. 0:14:16.920 --> 0:14:20.480 I don't know, Well, Bianca and EO is just a 0:14:20.520 --> 0:14:23.200 really really good match, So you know you're going to 0:14:23.200 --> 0:14:25.080 get that in the Queen of the Ring finals, so 0:14:25.160 --> 0:14:28.080 you have that going for you. Maybe they were going 0:14:28.160 --> 0:14:31.680 to do Jay defeats Nya in the same type of 0:14:31.720 --> 0:14:34.600 finish that they ended up doing, and then in the 0:14:34.640 --> 0:14:37.680 semifinals because it's Saudi Arabia and you can get away 0:14:37.720 --> 0:14:40.240 with this kind of finish. There, Naya comes out and 0:14:40.960 --> 0:14:45.600 does something that trips her up, which lets Tiffany, you know, advance. 0:14:45.880 --> 0:14:49.560 I don't know. I don't know what exactly the plan 0:14:49.840 --> 0:14:52.880 was or if anything that happened with Tiffany threw things 0:14:52.920 --> 0:14:56.280 off or anything like that. But they are also really 0:14:56.320 --> 0:15:01.440 pushing Lyra hard right now, associating her with so her 0:15:01.560 --> 0:15:04.600 going to the final. Maybe you can do that in 0:15:04.640 --> 0:15:07.480 Bianca and you just say, hey, you're having a good match. Again, 0:15:07.520 --> 0:15:11.120 it's Saudi Arabia. I don't think that this is at 0:15:11.160 --> 0:15:14.760 the forefront of their creative right now. I think they're 0:15:14.800 --> 0:15:16.640 trying to just get this stuff out of the way. 0:15:16.680 --> 0:15:20.600 They had backlash, and let's move forward with these newly 0:15:20.800 --> 0:15:23.560 drafted rosters and get some things going that way. 0:15:24.960 --> 0:15:28.120 So then we've got the NXT show tomorrow. They have 0:15:28.360 --> 0:15:32.440 officially announced that the three way has been changed Wes Lee, 0:15:32.560 --> 0:15:35.480 Josh Briggs and Joe Coffee because Ivar was supposed to 0:15:35.480 --> 0:15:38.480 be in that match but Ivar is legitimately injured and 0:15:38.520 --> 0:15:42.240 it appears to be serious. And then we've got Jada Parker, Brinley, 0:15:42.280 --> 0:15:45.960 Reeese six Pack Challenge Qualifier, THEA and fallin same thing 0:15:46.600 --> 0:15:49.520 and Naddy and Karmen Petrovitch versus Shana and Lola. This 0:15:49.640 --> 0:15:52.080 was a tape show, so if you want spoilers, they're 0:15:52.120 --> 0:15:55.920 easy to find. Back in a moment, i'msu WeLive. 0:16:07.640 --> 0:16:11.120 You were listening to Wrestling Observer Live with Brian Alfarez 0:16:11.200 --> 0:16:14.880 and Mike semper viv on the Sports Byline Broadcasting Network. 0:16:18.240 --> 0:16:19.000 Back kind of the show. 0:16:20.160 --> 0:16:20.880 What's going on? 0:16:21.320 --> 0:16:24.080 Well, apparently during the break there was like this giant 0:16:24.120 --> 0:16:28.240 debate because you know, last week got to talk about 0:16:28.280 --> 0:16:30.440 the show is every day, and then someone on Twitter 0:16:30.520 --> 0:16:33.080 was like, it's not every day. This actually is every day. 0:16:33.080 --> 0:16:36.280 It's Monday through Sunday. Yeah, and Jim Valley's there Saturday, 0:16:36.280 --> 0:16:39.280 and Andrews there on Sunday. And now people are arguing 0:16:39.280 --> 0:16:41.600 that it's really not because there was no show on Friday, 0:16:42.280 --> 0:16:44.520 and they're debating whether it was a show on Friday. 0:16:44.920 --> 0:16:47.240 And the answer is everybody, there was a show Friday, 0:16:47.720 --> 0:16:50.520 but it was not live Friday. It was taped and 0:16:50.560 --> 0:16:54.560 put up on the website. Yes, okay, So is that 0:16:54.760 --> 0:16:56.880 is that what we're good now? 0:16:59.200 --> 0:17:00.560 Controversy? Yes? 0:17:01.120 --> 0:17:05.159 I believe so. Really so, there were there were seven 0:17:05.280 --> 0:17:11.400 Wrestling Observer lives in the last week. Yeah, all right, okay, 0:17:12.800 --> 0:17:19.360 let's move on. Swift Bunch, Dynamite Swarms, Tricklin versus Nick 0:17:19.400 --> 0:17:27.520 Wayne in Bakersfield, California. Well, we have got Hook Shabata 0:17:28.680 --> 0:17:33.080 and Brian Keith three way number one contender match for 0:17:33.119 --> 0:17:36.840 the FTW title. I want to talk about that one 0:17:36.880 --> 0:17:39.760 in a minute, all right, Rodert Strong and Trent Barrett 0:17:39.840 --> 0:17:45.560 versus Orange Cassidy and will Ospray, Tony Storm and Mariah 0:17:45.640 --> 0:17:48.360 May versus Soriah and Harley Cameron. 0:17:49.280 --> 0:17:50.960 Another one just talking. 0:17:50.960 --> 0:17:52.360 I'm just gonna run over the lineup that I'm gonna 0:17:52.359 --> 0:17:55.600 talk about this in great depth. Kyle o'reiley versus Malachi Black, 0:17:55.920 --> 0:18:00.720 Brian Danielson versus Sat Sing Can someone this guy in 0:18:01.200 --> 0:18:05.960 No Bullet Club Gold will do a promo Takesha versus 0:18:05.960 --> 0:18:11.280 Matt's sidel a preview of Willow and Mercedes at My 0:18:11.400 --> 0:18:15.440 Favorite And this is a direct quote. John Moxley will 0:18:15.480 --> 0:18:21.200 be in the building. I wish last week they would 0:18:21.200 --> 0:18:24.359 have announced as part of the Dynamite lineup. Producer Rob 0:18:24.480 --> 0:18:27.040 will be in the restroom. 0:18:27.200 --> 0:18:29.640 Carly Bright will be in the locker room to break 0:18:29.720 --> 0:18:30.240 up fights. 0:18:30.680 --> 0:18:35.199 Yes, I know it feels like we're all piling on 0:18:35.240 --> 0:18:41.080 aw lately, but it's just I don't want to. I 0:18:41.119 --> 0:18:43.119 had a good time at Dynamite. I really had a 0:18:43.119 --> 0:18:45.639 great time. I had so much fun at that show. 0:18:46.160 --> 0:18:49.359 I'm excited to go to Double or Nothing weekend. But 0:18:50.119 --> 0:18:52.919 let's talk about some of this, all right. Would it 0:18:52.960 --> 0:18:55.359 have been so hard for Swerve and Nick Wayne to 0:18:55.359 --> 0:18:59.280 do their match in Everett? Why is this match in Bakersfield? 0:19:00.080 --> 0:19:04.040 Can somebody explain this to me? The best. The best 0:19:04.119 --> 0:19:07.399 that I can come up with is their timing was wrong. 0:19:08.240 --> 0:19:11.639 They had to break up the Mogul embassy. It left 0:19:11.680 --> 0:19:15.000 them a week late, and so they shot the angle 0:19:15.040 --> 0:19:17.280 in Everett and they're doing the match in Bakersfield. 0:19:17.560 --> 0:19:20.440 Well, okay, let me play. Let me try to play 0:19:20.480 --> 0:19:22.560 devil's advocate on this a little bit and. 0:19:22.560 --> 0:19:24.399 Just say, I know what you're gonna say, but go ahead. 0:19:24.640 --> 0:19:29.280 He got revenge in his hometown by bloodying up the 0:19:29.359 --> 0:19:33.640 champion by doing the same exact thing to him as 0:19:33.840 --> 0:19:37.960 was done in the garage at his house. So there's that, 0:19:38.200 --> 0:19:41.399 let's sense up and it gave him a chance to 0:19:41.480 --> 0:19:45.040 kill Jack Cartwheel. It looked like a guy that is 0:19:45.160 --> 0:19:47.200 ready to step up and face the world. 0:19:47.280 --> 0:19:50.520 Okay, well I'll be devil's Devil's advocate, go ahead. So 0:19:50.520 --> 0:19:52.560 so break the thing over his head the week before 0:19:53.280 --> 0:19:57.320 and say, exactly one year later or whatever in my hometown, 0:19:57.440 --> 0:19:59.840 I'm gonna pin you in the middle of the ring. Yeah, 0:20:00.080 --> 0:20:02.720 and then he beats Jack carrweel last week instead of 0:20:02.760 --> 0:20:03.480 this week. 0:20:03.520 --> 0:20:05.480 Or he could have been getting wins, you know, for 0:20:05.520 --> 0:20:07.640 a couple of weeks leading into this, you know. 0:20:08.040 --> 0:20:11.840 Okay, So then then we've got this one. This is 0:20:11.880 --> 0:20:16.280 one of the biggest problems with aw I mean literally 0:20:17.000 --> 0:20:19.879 virtually every problem I have with his entire show in 0:20:20.040 --> 0:20:28.520 one match. Okay, it's Hook, Shabata, and Brian Keith. Okay, 0:20:29.400 --> 0:20:35.160 So last week on Dynamite, Chris Jericho said, Hook, if 0:20:35.200 --> 0:20:37.080 you want to shot at my title, you must win 0:20:37.119 --> 0:20:43.000 a qualifying match. And then Shabata showed up, and you know, 0:20:43.080 --> 0:20:46.120 Hook's talking about his match, and Shabada says, what if 0:20:46.119 --> 0:20:50.040 the opponent is me? It goes what Shabata goes, I 0:20:50.119 --> 0:20:54.360 want to shot it Jericho as well, and then Samoa Joe, 0:20:54.359 --> 0:20:57.440 who's been doing nothing except training. Apparently he had done 0:20:57.440 --> 0:20:59.760 a thing since losing the title. He just does training videos. 0:21:00.160 --> 0:21:02.880 He shows up and he makes fun of both guys. Okay, 0:21:04.000 --> 0:21:07.719 So I'm at the show, literally at the show as 0:21:07.720 --> 0:21:11.720 a fan. The show ends, I have no earthly idea 0:21:11.760 --> 0:21:15.119 what's going on in Collision. I only know that Hook 0:21:15.200 --> 0:21:19.840 has a qualifier. Maybe it's with Shebata and maybe it's 0:21:19.880 --> 0:21:24.720 with Joe, But I don't have any idea. Okay. So 0:21:24.800 --> 0:21:28.119 then we go to Collision and Jericho cuts a promo 0:21:28.200 --> 0:21:33.119 and he wishes Hook luck in his qualifier. Okay, so 0:21:33.160 --> 0:21:36.680 Hook then comes out. I'm like, okay, well, let's find 0:21:36.720 --> 0:21:40.399 out what his qualifier is. So Hook comes down to 0:21:40.440 --> 0:21:48.919 the ring and out comes Johnny TV. I'm like, who what? 0:21:50.200 --> 0:21:56.720 Okay whatever? So Hook beats Johnny TV and they say 0:21:56.720 --> 0:22:03.120 he is qualified for a three way qualifier on Wednesday. 0:22:02.800 --> 0:22:04.720 He qualified for the qualifier. 0:22:06.160 --> 0:22:10.920 You say that, that's exactly what happened. Okay, all right? 0:22:12.080 --> 0:22:17.920 So then outcomes Shebada, Like, who's he gonna face Joe? Maybe? 0:22:18.800 --> 0:22:18.879 No? 0:22:19.520 --> 0:22:24.480 Outcomes Sabada to face Rocky Romero. 0:22:24.440 --> 0:22:28.119 But before he does, they acknowledge each other on the ramp. 0:22:28.280 --> 0:22:35.200 Yes, so he faces Rocky Romero. Hey listen, I love Rocky, 0:22:35.280 --> 0:22:40.200 but like what, he beats him. They announced that Shabata 0:22:40.320 --> 0:22:45.400 is now qualified for the qualifier. Okay, Now, I think 0:22:45.440 --> 0:22:47.040 I've got to figure it out because they didn't tell us. 0:22:47.280 --> 0:22:49.480 It's one of the many problems. They don't tell you 0:22:49.520 --> 0:22:53.000 what's going on. It's a it's top secret what the 0:22:53.000 --> 0:22:55.760 matches are gonna be. They don't even tell like the 0:22:55.760 --> 0:22:58.560 production people until like an hour before the show. I'm 0:22:58.560 --> 0:23:03.280 not even making that up. Nobody knows anything. He keeps 0:23:03.359 --> 0:23:09.560 everything top secret from everybody, which is another story. But 0:23:09.880 --> 0:23:15.200 I'll get to that later. So I'm thinking, okay, next 0:23:15.440 --> 0:23:22.480 out will come Samoa Joe, but instead out comes Brian Keith. 0:23:23.400 --> 0:23:24.800 They acknowledge each other. 0:23:24.960 --> 0:23:27.560 I thought, okay, Brian Keith, well he'll he'll get killed 0:23:27.560 --> 0:23:31.359 by Joe. So I'm waiting for them at Joe's music 0:23:32.400 --> 0:23:36.720 and instead, as God above as my witness, here out 0:23:36.760 --> 0:23:43.640 comes Jacked Jamison. That's who came out, and he brings 0:23:43.680 --> 0:23:46.600 with him. I'm hoping there are people in the chat 0:23:46.640 --> 0:23:49.159 that didn't watch Collision anything. I'm making this up. He 0:23:49.200 --> 0:23:55.960 brings out with him Beefcake Boulder, who's a big, fat, 0:23:56.000 --> 0:23:59.119 hairy guy, and he starts talking about his nipples and 0:23:59.240 --> 0:24:06.080 titty City. Can you say that this is also a 0:24:06.280 --> 0:24:18.679 qualifying match? What does Beefcake Boulder and Brian Keith have 0:24:18.840 --> 0:24:25.000 to do with anything anything? They ring the bell and 0:24:25.040 --> 0:24:29.880 they have this match. Titty City is a place everybody, 0:24:29.880 --> 0:24:34.080 Why are you angry at me? They have this match, 0:24:35.240 --> 0:24:42.240 Brian Keith wins. Brian Keith is in a qualifying match. 0:24:42.720 --> 0:24:45.000 He has won a qualifier to be in a qualifier 0:24:45.040 --> 0:24:48.680 for a three way. Oh, I'm like, what is happening? 0:24:49.119 --> 0:24:54.200 So now now let's break all of this down. First off, 0:24:54.800 --> 0:24:56.960 why the hell can you make this clear on Wednesday? 0:24:57.119 --> 0:25:01.280 What's going on on Collision? It was an absolentce, complete 0:25:01.880 --> 0:25:05.880 and utter mystery. If I had driven from Seattle all 0:25:05.920 --> 0:25:11.159 the way to Portland, one of the worst cities on 0:25:11.200 --> 0:25:15.080 the West Coast, Oh wait, no, it is to watch 0:25:15.119 --> 0:25:18.639 this show. And I went in not having any clue 0:25:18.680 --> 0:25:21.199 what was going on, and this was presented to me, 0:25:22.080 --> 0:25:25.960 I'd have been real mad. But anyway, so they do 0:25:26.080 --> 0:25:28.359 this bizarre thing. They don't tell us anything about it. 0:25:28.440 --> 0:25:30.640 Nobody in the building has any idea what's going on 0:25:30.960 --> 0:25:33.200 because they don't even announce during the ring intros is 0:25:33.200 --> 0:25:35.680 a qualifying match? They just announce these guys they come 0:25:35.680 --> 0:25:40.000 out for their match, and I'm like, okay, whatever's the 0:25:40.119 --> 0:25:42.760 usual problem. We don't announce anything. It's all a mystery. 0:25:43.280 --> 0:25:45.240 You just show up because you want to see a show, 0:25:45.280 --> 0:25:47.680
