Well, we got a lot to talk about 0:06:36.839 --> 0:06:43.880 here today. Holy smokes, last night. I don't think anyone cares. 0:06:46.520 --> 0:06:49.840 I do, so, like the worst, the worst night of 0:06:49.880 --> 0:06:53.440 the week is Wednesday night because for whatever reason, Dave 0:06:53.520 --> 0:06:56.720 ends up not watching NXT until Wednesday, so he has 0:06:56.760 --> 0:07:00.039 to watch Dynamite and then he watches NXT and so 0:07:00.120 --> 0:07:02.680 he's never ready to do the show until like twelve 0:07:02.760 --> 0:07:06.200 thirty or one or something like that. So it's always 0:07:06.240 --> 0:07:08.279 such a late night. I'm so tired. And then it 0:07:08.360 --> 0:07:12.760 was worse because Tuesday night Hanole got like neuro virus 0:07:12.840 --> 0:07:16.520 or something and she started barfing, and uh, and she 0:07:16.640 --> 0:07:18.400 barfed till about three o'clock in the morning. 0:07:18.720 --> 0:07:20.280 You sure it wasn't because of skippers. 0:07:20.480 --> 0:07:23.560 Whatever it was, dude, it doesn't matter. I mean she 0:07:23.720 --> 0:07:26.560 barfed so much, and just like every hour I was up, 0:07:26.800 --> 0:07:29.200 she barfed. I'm up again, she barfed. Then when she 0:07:29.240 --> 0:07:31.320 stopped barfing, then I had to get up again because 0:07:31.360 --> 0:07:34.000 she needed a drink of water because now she's probably dehydrated. 0:07:34.520 --> 0:07:35.400 So anyway, oh. 0:07:35.320 --> 0:07:37.400 God, And then my son hit his head and he 0:07:37.440 --> 0:07:39.280 had to get go to the hospital. 0:07:39.400 --> 0:07:42.000 Yeah, he got a who was it was it? Fador 0:07:42.080 --> 0:07:44.600 that got sliced open like that? It's like you could 0:07:44.680 --> 0:07:46.480 just go like this and see his marginal. 0:07:48.000 --> 0:07:48.520 Belfort. 0:07:48.880 --> 0:07:49.160 God. 0:07:49.920 --> 0:07:52.960 So, anyway, I wake up Wednesday, I am freaking exhausted 0:07:53.360 --> 0:07:55.480 and like if you listen to yesterday's Observer Live and 0:07:55.480 --> 0:07:58.920 I'm just stumbling all over my words, like yeah, that 0:07:59.080 --> 0:08:01.480 was so Anyway, I text Dave and I'm like, what's 0:08:01.480 --> 0:08:03.360 the earliest you can go? Like, we gotta go as 0:08:03.400 --> 0:08:07.840 early as we can, so you know, he goes, he goes, 0:08:07.880 --> 0:08:09.440 I might be able to do eleven thirty. I'm like, 0:08:09.480 --> 0:08:11.440 oh my god, that would be a miracle if we 0:08:11.480 --> 0:08:14.640 went at eleven thirty. So I call him at eleven 0:08:14.720 --> 0:08:17.640 thirty and he goes, yeah, I'll get ready. So, for 0:08:17.640 --> 0:08:20.600 those who don't understand Dave getting ready, there's always an 0:08:20.600 --> 0:08:23.200 additional half hour for him to print out his notes 0:08:23.240 --> 0:08:27.360 and do whatever. So at twelve o'clock, which granted it's midnight, 0:08:27.440 --> 0:08:31.440 but it's still like way earlier than usual, Dave walks 0:08:31.480 --> 0:08:33.400 over and I see him going to sit down on 0:08:33.440 --> 0:08:38.360 the couch to start the show, and everything dies. I'm like, 0:08:38.400 --> 0:08:40.520 oh my god, his internet went out. I don't care. 0:08:40.559 --> 0:08:42.760 I'm gonna call him on the phone. Then I realized 0:08:42.920 --> 0:08:46.319 it's my internet. My Internet's down? What the heck's going on? 0:08:47.120 --> 0:08:50.280 So like, I'm trying to reboot, like my internet's dead. No, 0:08:50.800 --> 0:08:53.840 he literally just sat down early. There's no way my 0:08:53.880 --> 0:08:58.240 internet died. So I text ADMINTONI because he's like, you know, 0:08:58.320 --> 0:09:01.120 three blocks away, if my internet's down, his internet is down. 0:09:01.559 --> 0:09:04.480 So I text him as your Internet down. He doesn't 0:09:04.480 --> 0:09:07.959 say anything, you know, lol or something like that. But 0:09:08.120 --> 0:09:10.840 you know, he doesn't say his internet's down. So I'm like, 0:09:10.880 --> 0:09:13.199 I gotta do this show. So I call the internet 0:09:13.240 --> 0:09:15.760 company and I'm like, is there an outage? 0:09:15.800 --> 0:09:15.880 Like? 0:09:15.920 --> 0:09:18.599 Can I at least know if there's an outage? Lady goes, No, 0:09:18.720 --> 0:09:21.560 there's no outage. It's it's just it must be just 0:09:21.640 --> 0:09:25.920 your your internet. And so I reboot the router. I 0:09:25.960 --> 0:09:29.920 reboot the router again. She does the cycle, whatever it 0:09:30.000 --> 0:09:32.200 is to reboot the router on their end. I go 0:09:32.280 --> 0:09:34.839 down into the garage. I pull everything out of the 0:09:34.880 --> 0:09:38.120 wall and plug it back in. Nothing's working. It's now 0:09:38.240 --> 0:09:43.240 twelve forty five. I'm like, God, it's not gonna happen tonight. 0:09:43.840 --> 0:09:47.360 So I finally give up. I'm even more exhausted than ever. 0:09:47.760 --> 0:09:50.240 I message Dave, We've got to do the show tomorrow whatever. 0:09:50.840 --> 0:09:54.000 They set up a technician to come out today after 0:09:54.080 --> 0:09:58.400 one o'clock. It's just a complete disaster. Wake up this morning. 0:09:58.440 --> 0:10:05.040 The internet's on, everything's fine. Tony texts me. He's trying 0:10:05.040 --> 0:10:07.520 to set everything back up again. I said, how come 0:10:07.520 --> 0:10:09.360 you didn't tell me that your internet's down? He goes, 0:10:09.400 --> 0:10:12.800 I did. He sends me a screenshot. Turns out his 0:10:13.040 --> 0:10:16.559 message was the one message that didn't go through on 0:10:16.600 --> 0:10:19.960 my phone. If I had just known that his internet 0:10:20.000 --> 0:10:21.960 was down, I would have just gone to bed, but 0:10:22.040 --> 0:10:24.839 instead it stayed up for an extra hour trying to 0:10:24.880 --> 0:10:27.360 fix that internet. Schedule the guy to come in today, 0:10:27.400 --> 0:10:30.680 the whole shebang, and it turns out it was just 0:10:30.760 --> 0:10:34.359 an outage and they were wrong. There was an outage. 0:10:35.160 --> 0:10:39.040 So anyway, three shows today, guys. You ready? 0:10:39.840 --> 0:10:41.760 Yeah?

So my guess is that 0:12:18.559 --> 0:12:21.160 the whole reason that they did that Mike Santana title 0:12:21.240 --> 0:12:24.160 loss three weeks after he won it was to make 0:12:24.200 --> 0:12:27.560 you really angry and then tune into the debut show 0:12:27.600 --> 0:12:29.640 to see him win it back. That's what it looks like. 0:12:29.679 --> 0:12:32.199 He's gonna win it. And then Nick Nevith is gonna cash. 0:12:32.320 --> 0:12:37.000 Oh my god, hey listen, Tommy, Dreamer, Lance, whoever's listening 0:12:37.040 --> 0:12:40.720 right now, don't do that. Okay, do not start the 0:12:40.760 --> 0:12:46.040 first AMC show with angry people in heat, just like don't. 0:12:47.080 --> 0:12:50.360 Then we've got Stax, Lorenzo and Steve Macklin for the 0:12:50.360 --> 0:12:55.440 international title. We got the System versus Leon Slater, Cedric 0:12:55.480 --> 0:12:58.400 Alexander and the Hardys. That mat should be awesome. Uh 0:12:58.480 --> 0:13:01.720 must of all Lee and order for addressed TNA Genesis. 0:13:01.720 --> 0:13:04.680 I'LLI just re signed with TNA, so he's sticking around. 0:13:05.280 --> 0:13:08.920 Danny Luna versus Harley Hudson and the Heartys will kick 0:13:08.960 --> 0:13:12.880 off the episode, so that'll be the Uh, that'll be 0:13:12.920 --> 0:13:17.720 the show tonight, and then the actual debut which is 0:13:17.800 --> 0:13:20.360 next next week, we got two matches announced, Frankie and 0:13:20.360 --> 0:13:23.720 Mike Santana's noted and Leon Slater defends the X title 0:13:24.000 --> 0:13:28.640 against Myron Reid. Because on Impact you can be a 0:13:28.720 --> 0:13:31.480 twenty one year old champion and a main eventor unlike 0:13:31.559 --> 0:13:32.480 somewhere else that I. 0:13:32.440 --> 0:13:37.400 Know, Brian, Yes, you are a subscriber to all of 0:13:37.440 --> 0:13:40.880 these different services that are out there, all the different 0:13:41.040 --> 0:13:44.720 streaming services, but you are not a subscriber to a 0:13:44.720 --> 0:13:47.960 cable provider or YouTube TV or one of those. 0:13:48.679 --> 0:13:49.760 How do you get AMC? 0:13:51.240 --> 0:13:52.200 How do you get AMC? 0:13:52.760 --> 0:13:53.080 Yeah? 0:13:53.120 --> 0:13:56.600 Well, I mean you can so it's on YouTube TV 0:13:56.880 --> 0:13:59.400 or wherever. But you can also you can you can 0:13:59.440 --> 0:14:03.600 do the TNA streaming service. You can watch it. I 0:14:03.600 --> 0:14:06.079 think AMC has a streaming service. If I record there 0:14:06.120 --> 0:14:09.760 is a plus, yes, but I mean it's on I 0:14:09.760 --> 0:14:14.120 mean most cable networks should get AMC. 0:14:14.679 --> 0:14:17.640 Yeah, but there's an increasing number of people like MI 0:14:18.720 --> 0:14:22.040 that do not have one of these cable streaming providers 0:14:22.240 --> 0:14:24.360 and instead I go a la carte. 0:14:24.680 --> 0:14:29.560 Well, you'll have to do AMC plus or I mean, honestly, 0:14:29.760 --> 0:14:31.240 it's I don't know how much it is. I think 0:14:31.240 --> 0:14:35.440 it's like one hundred and fifty a year. And yes, 0:14:35.440 --> 0:14:38.200 if you're watching in the YouTube chat for members, yes, 0:14:38.280 --> 0:14:41.480 it did just die, so go out and we've we've 0:14:41.480 --> 0:14:44.520 opened up the free one, I believe. So that's what's 0:14:44.560 --> 0:14:50.160 going on. I told everyone we get it fixed there. 0:14:50.520 --> 0:14:53.040 That's Wrestling Observer Live with Dave Melton and Brian Alvers. 0:14:53.200 --> 0:14:55.560 I don't know what's going on everybody, We'll figure it out. 0:14:55.800 --> 0:15:00.000 But anyway, Uh so, TNA has our TNA Plus streaming service. 0:15:00.400 --> 0:15:02.760 My guns aren't as big as Dave Meltzer's, but my. 0:15:03.840 --> 0:15:05.640 And then you can also get all of the pay 0:15:05.640 --> 0:15:07.880 per views on there as part of your subscription. So 0:15:08.120 --> 0:15:09.760 if you're a big fan of TNA, you should just 0:15:09.800 --> 0:15:12.640 get the TNA Plus. That's the easiest way to do it. 0:15:13.560 --> 0:15:17.520 And uh yeah, that's the uh that's the story there. 0:15:17.920 --> 0:15:22.000 What is the worst value in streaming de Zonne? 0:15:23.200 --> 0:15:29.400 I'll tell you the most irritating Max and Dynamite.

All right, SmackDown tomorrow has as 0:16:50.840 --> 0:16:53.920 uh as was noted to me three stages of heck. 0:16:54.360 --> 0:16:58.200 Actually for the WWE title, there is a straight wrestling 0:16:58.280 --> 0:17:03.920 match of falls out anywhere match in an old school cage. 0:17:03.560 --> 0:17:05.840 MATCHFI will not be involved in the first. 0:17:05.720 --> 0:17:10.800 Fall a man. That's literally what Drew asked for, a 0:17:10.840 --> 0:17:15.560 straight professional wrestling match after he's been screwed countless time. 0:17:15.640 --> 0:17:16.879 So he wants a straight match. 0:17:16.960 --> 0:17:18.600 Hey, well, at least we know what's on the up 0:17:18.600 --> 0:17:20.359 and up. It's not a put up job. 0:17:21.320 --> 0:17:24.919 William Muldoon and Tootsman are in the back trying to, 0:17:25.560 --> 0:17:29.520 you know, gimmick the finish here. 0:17:29.920 --> 0:17:32.439 We know it's a straight match. We're gonna get a 0:17:32.480 --> 0:17:33.359 real finish. 0:17:34.119 --> 0:17:36.600 Then we've got the eight man Tag, Whites and the 0:17:36.720 --> 0:17:41.080 mft S. Yes, not looking forward to that and in 0:17:41.200 --> 0:17:41.880 Rave Phoenix. 0:17:42.359 --> 0:17:43.520 But you know what, don't. 0:17:43.280 --> 0:17:45.240 Look forward to it, Brian. Don't look forward to it 0:17:45.480 --> 0:17:47.200 because the last time you didn't look forward to a 0:17:47.240 --> 0:17:48.200 Wyatts match. 0:17:48.280 --> 0:17:48.720 No, I did. 0:17:48.720 --> 0:17:49.640 It was awesome. 0:17:49.720 --> 0:17:52.479 I looked forward to the match. I just expected it 0:17:52.520 --> 0:17:54.800 to be horrible. You don't think I look forward to 0:17:54.840 --> 0:17:57.480 every match involving the Clowns. I can't think of a 0:17:57.520 --> 0:18:01.680 match I've ever not looked forward to involving the Psycho Circus. 0:18:02.600 --> 0:18:05.119 All right, a bunch of news notes here. Logan Paul 0:18:06.480 --> 0:18:11.639 claimed on his YouTube vlog that he assigned a long 0:18:11.760 --> 0:18:16.240 term WWE contract, and he claims and I think this 0:18:16.320 --> 0:18:19.840 is like the third time that he's claimed this. He's 0:18:20.000 --> 0:18:27.359 now a full timer. Yes, that's what he said. He's 0:18:27.359 --> 0:18:30.159 devoting all of his time and effort now to WWE. 0:18:30.480 --> 0:18:34.040 Didn't he say that this summer, all of it. I'm 0:18:34.040 --> 0:18:35.800 pretty sure he said all of this this summer. 0:18:36.280 --> 0:18:37.480 Twenty four hours a day. 0:18:38.040 --> 0:18:40.240 He says, I want to hit it hard in twenty 0:18:40.320 --> 0:18:42.600 twenty six. I want to become the best wrestler. I 0:18:42.640 --> 0:18:46.320 can be the best husband, father, and business partner. Let's go, baby, 0:18:46.359 --> 0:18:49.040 I'm excited. You know it might have been that. So 0:18:49.160 --> 0:18:51.840 I listen. You know, there was a thing the other day. 0:18:52.400 --> 0:18:56.359 It was actually on Monday where I was talking about 0:18:56.440 --> 0:18:59.720 somebody from WWE. After it was Tuesday, somebody after Raw 0:18:59.800 --> 0:19:03.720 was in Concussion Protocol, and I literally like six times 0:19:03.760 --> 0:19:08.200 said I don't know who it was. I'm not reporting this. 0:19:08.920 --> 0:19:12.000 I'm just speculating that it could have been. And then 0:19:12.280 --> 0:19:14.680 I went on, this was all over the internet, Brian 0:19:14.680 --> 0:19:18.040 Alverers report seehim punk and concussion Protocol. I was like, 0:19:18.119 --> 0:19:20.960 first off, of all the people, second off, I mean, 0:19:21.000 --> 0:19:25.320 come on, so let me just say I don't I'm 0:19:25.359 --> 0:19:30.320 not reporting this, nerds, I don't know it's speculation, okay, 0:19:30.520 --> 0:19:37.160 but I think that Logan Paul last year had a 0:19:37.200 --> 0:19:40.159 contract with X number of dates, and I think what 0:19:40.280 --> 0:19:43.280 happened was in like late November, they realized this guy's 0:19:43.320 --> 0:19:46.040 got like six matches left, so that's why he was 0:19:46.080 --> 0:19:48.480 wrestling every single If you remember, he was wrestling every 0:19:48.520 --> 0:19:51.240 single week on Raw for like the end of the year. 0:19:51.520 --> 0:19:53.399 So I think it was just catching up on dates 0:19:53.440 --> 0:19:56.840 that he owed them for twenty twenty five. But if 0:19:57.359 --> 0:20:01.040 you watched it, it was very clear that there is 0:20:01.080 --> 0:20:05.120 a He's very talented and he's very athletic, but there 0:20:05.200 --> 0:20:09.280 is a huge difference between Logan Paul, who has several 0:20:09.320 --> 0:20:12.720 weeks to you know, prepare for a match and go 0:20:12.760 --> 0:20:14.879 over the match and blah blah blah, and the Logan 0:20:14.920 --> 0:20:16.600 Paul who shows up the day of the show and 0:20:16.680 --> 0:20:19.239 has a new match every week for five weeks. He 0:20:19.320 --> 0:20:22.240 looked like a guy that probably should still be in 0:20:22.320 --> 0:20:26.360 developmental So maybe that opened his eyes and he realized, 0:20:26.400 --> 0:20:28.840 you know what, I actually need to like go, I 0:20:28.880 --> 0:20:31.840 need to get working here because I still got a 0:20:31.880 --> 0:20:34.560 ways to go. But he says he's a full timer now, 0:20:34.600 --> 0:20:42.200 so we'll see. Yes, he took a deep breath say it. 0:20:42.280 --> 0:20:43.040 Don't be afraid. 0:20:43.400 --> 0:20:46.120 You know, he should use more of is his amateur 0:20:46.160 --> 0:20:47.120 wrestling skills. 0:20:47.320 --> 0:20:47.760 He should. 0:20:47.800 --> 0:20:48.560 He grew up as. 0:20:48.440 --> 0:20:51.760 An amateur wrestler, and he should rely on that a 0:20:51.760 --> 0:20:53.760 little bit more instead of all the acrobatics. 0:20:54.000 --> 0:20:54.560 There we go. 0:20:55.119 --> 0:20:57.320 Is that right? So he got out of that. 0:20:58.880 --> 0:20:59.720 It's my advice. 0:21:00.520 --> 0:21:06.360 WWE World Convention it's returning for WrestleMania forty two, take 0:21:06.400 --> 0:21:10.800 place over five days April sixteenth through April twentieth, That 0:21:10.960 --> 0:21:15.000 is Thursday through Monday of WrestleMania weeks. Tickets are going 0:21:15.040 --> 0:21:17.280 on sale next week with a WrestleMania forty two ticket 0:21:17.280 --> 0:21:21.800 holders and previous attendees getting pre sale access. General public 0:21:21.880 --> 0:21:26.080 on sale will begin Friday, January sixteenth. So this is 0:21:26.119 --> 0:21:30.399 the old, the former access, et cetera. They're gonna be 0:21:30.400 --> 0:21:34.080 having a new addition to WWE World this year, Hulkamania 0:21:34.200 --> 0:21:42.040 Forever Showcase, honoring the late Hulk Hogan. So that's the story. 0:21:42.320 --> 0:21:44.800 The excuse me? What do you think is gonna be 0:21:45.560 --> 0:21:47.919 in that exhibit? Oh, come on, get a chug some 0:21:48.080 --> 0:21:49.320 real American beer. 0:21:49.880 --> 0:21:51.320 They'll have some Uh. 0:21:51.440 --> 0:21:53.600 Do you get to drop some racist quotes? 0:21:54.440 --> 0:21:54.640 Yeah? 0:21:54.960 --> 0:21:57.879 A safe space, get to take a picture next to 0:21:57.920 --> 0:22:00.280 a wax statue of him. I'm sure they'll have some 0:22:00.320 --> 0:22:03.240 of his boots and belts and big picture of him 0:22:03.280 --> 0:22:09.640 slamming Andre all those legendary moments for those ninety three 0:22:09.920 --> 0:22:14.360 and seventy three fans at the at the Dome. Yeah, 0:22:16.680 --> 0:22:19.879 Jay White still not medically cleared. He showed up at 0:22:19.880 --> 0:22:22.960 the Tokyo Dome and physically he looked good. I mean, 0:22:23.520 --> 0:22:25.880 he didn't look like any issues walking or I don't 0:22:25.920 --> 0:22:27.680 even know what the injury is. He had that that 0:22:27.760 --> 0:22:32.240 foot injury, came back from that, got injured again, and 0:22:33.119 --> 0:22:36.359
