Speaker 1: Hey, this is Brian Alvarez and this is today's edition
Speaker 1: of the Wrestling Observer Daily podcast on the eight Side Network.
Speaker 1: Ready are you ready? Let's get it all? And I
Speaker 1: am tired, but I'm here. I'm ready to go today.
Speaker 1: And what an exciting weekend. I add I had a
Speaker 1: flight back from from Mao yesterday and the family got
Speaker 1: split up, and so my wife and UH and young
Speaker 1: Hannah were in the air and myself and Paisley were
Speaker 1: waiting for a flight and then they tell us, sorry,
Speaker 1: we overbooked it by five seats, so you can't get
Speaker 1: on the plane unless someone wants to give up their seat.
Speaker 1: And I was like, well, you know, I could get
Speaker 1: stuck here overnight or whatever. Then they alert us the
Speaker 1: first flight back is March first, which means she would
Speaker 1: miss a bunch of school, she would miss her birthday
Speaker 1: which is tomorrow, and it was not looking good. And
Speaker 1: it turns out that after they offered thousands of dollars
Speaker 1: per person, people got off the plane and we ended
Speaker 1: up getting a flight back, which then ended up being delayed,
Speaker 1: and then they had to do maintenance. So we landed
Speaker 1: at one thirty. I got to bed at four am
Speaker 1: last night. But now I am here, and I am
Speaker 1: here by myself because Mike's taken the day off, So
Speaker 1: we're gonna get in all of the news and if
Speaker 1: you want to, can complain more about the airlines and uh,
Speaker 1: and then you know people have been bugging me about it,
Speaker 1: so I may, I may, I may take calls today
Speaker 1: just to see what's so damn important on those phone lines.
Speaker 1: But man, we got revolution to talk about. We got
Speaker 1: a w n X t raw is tonight, SmackDown in
Speaker 1: rampage Age later on today we're talking about the end
Speaker 1: of the career of KG Muto with Filthy Tom. We
Speaker 1: watched the top matches from his last retirement show and
Speaker 1: uh and plenty more to get into. You can text
Speaker 1: two four two five seven eight zero seven five six six.
Speaker 1: It is four two five seven eight zero seven five
Speaker 1: six six Back in a moment with more Observer live
Speaker 1: back in the show. Bryan Elbarez here wrestling Observer alive.
Speaker 1: No Mike Simper BB here today, He'll be back tomorrow.
Speaker 1: If you want textas here four two five seven eight
Speaker 1: zero seven five six six it is forty five seven
Speaker 1: eight zero seven five six six And may take calls
Speaker 1: later I want to find out what the emergency. The
Speaker 1: last few days, well, we got a lot to get into,
Speaker 1: including something a lot of people have been talking about,
Speaker 1: and that's Vince McMahon and ever since, ever since they
Speaker 1: booked Brock Leizer versus Omas, it's it's the topic of discussion.
Speaker 1: It's Vince back. And as I mentioned a few days ago,
Speaker 1: I mean even Triple H outright said, you know, Vince
Speaker 1: has been you know, given me his input, his ideas,
Speaker 1: but he says, but he says, I still have the
Speaker 1: final say on everything. So as soon as they booked
Speaker 1: Brock and Omas, all the rumors, Oh, Vince's back, Vince's back.
Speaker 1: And you know, as we mentioned a few days ago,
Speaker 1: you're gonna know when Vince's back when we have full
Speaker 1: lineups for Ron's SmackDown a week in advance, and then
Speaker 1: the show comes and nothing happens. That has not happened yet,
Speaker 1: And of course we'll also know when he is back
Speaker 1: if he's back, And I have heard from a few
Speaker 1: different people. Obviously I haven't talked to everybody, but I've
Speaker 1: talked to nobody who has seen him around. He has
Speaker 1: not been around, So that doesn't mean that people aren't
Speaker 1: talking to him. But before he left, he was always around.
Speaker 1: There would be the occasional ron SmackDown where he was
Speaker 1: not there for this reason or that. But you know,
Speaker 1: he was always there at the shows. And he is
Speaker 1: not back. He's not there at the shows. He's not
Speaker 1: there in Gorilla, and he could be calling folks, he
Speaker 1: could be telling people to do this or that. He
Speaker 1: if he's doing it, it it is being done surreptitiously. Buddy
Speaker 1: is not backstage it shows at least as of right now.
Speaker 1: And if that changes today, hey, I'll tell you about it.
Speaker 1: But Raw is tonight and I actually have lineups for
Speaker 1: literally everything except Raw. Maybe I'll get those during the break.
Speaker 1: But we have NXT tomorrow Wes Lee defends the North
Speaker 1: American title and an open challenge Ko said him more
Speaker 1: versus Joey Zoey Stark, Carmelo Hayes and Tyler Bait gg Doland.
Speaker 1: As a promo, Briggs and Jensen the Virgin in the
Speaker 1: Fornicator will be facing a new Share and Soul Ruca
Speaker 1: will be facing Elektra Lopez. And then on Wednesday, we
Speaker 1: have Dynamite and this is the go home Dynamite for
Speaker 1: the Revolution at pay per view, and they're backing this show.
Speaker 1: We not only have a Casino Battle Royal for a
Speaker 1: spot in the tag team title match at Revolution, but
Speaker 1: we also have a Face of the Revolution Ladder match,
Speaker 1: both of these on Dynamite this week. We have the
Speaker 1: All Atlantic Championship being defended, we have the FTW Championship
Speaker 1: being defended, and then we have a number of other
Speaker 1: matches in interview segments. So for the Face of the
Speaker 1: Revolution Ladder match winner gets a future title shot. We
Speaker 1: have got the debut of Commander, We've got Takeshta Ortiz,
Speaker 1: Action Andretti, Sammy Gavara, Powerhouse Hobbs, Eddie Kingston, and A. R. Fox. Obviously,
Speaker 1: unless there is a unless, well I mean we we
Speaker 1: probably will have a title change. My guess is at
Speaker 1: at the pay per view, But the winner of this
Speaker 1: match is gonna face the winner of Samoa Joe versus Wardlow,
Speaker 1: which my guess is probably will be Wardlow. And you know,
Speaker 1: when I look at the lineup here, probably gonna end
Speaker 1: up being one would think a heel. And really there's
Speaker 1: a lot of baby faces in this match, with the
Speaker 1: exception of Sammy Gavara and Powerhouse Hobbs. Eddie Kingston's kind
Speaker 1: of walking that line in storyline. But you know, I
Speaker 1: months ago when they did that, that that three way match,
Speaker 1: I Hobbs should have won that match. Now here's the thing. Okay,
Speaker 1: oh Hobbes. They've been doing all these Book of Hobbes deals.
Speaker 1: It's time to pull the trigger on this dude. Now
Speaker 1: there's actually two ways that you could pull the trigger
Speaker 1: on this dude. Way number one is he wins the
Speaker 1: Face of the Revolution ladder match and he ends up
Speaker 1: beating Wardlow down the line for that TNT title. I'd
Speaker 1: be fine with that. I think some people would argue, oh,
Speaker 1: you can't have Warlow win that belt back and then
Speaker 1: just lose it. Well, you know what we've learned, at
Speaker 1: least I've learned you could do anything you want. I mean,
Speaker 1: you can argue about it, but you can do anything
Speaker 1: you want because this is all pretend. Like, there's storylines
Speaker 1: and bookers and you can choose who wins and loses.
Speaker 1: So actually you could do that. Wardlow could win the
Speaker 1: TNT title and then he could lose to Hobbs and
Speaker 1: life would continue on and professional wresting they gonna be
Speaker 1: all right. But there's another thing. We have a storyline
Speaker 1: for the pay per view where Ricky Starks has tricked
Speaker 1: Chris Jericho into signing a contract for a match where
Speaker 1: Jericho has vowed that nobody from the Jericho Appreciation Society
Speaker 1: will be allowed at ringside. Now, the story is that
Speaker 1: Chris Jericho says, nobody out smarts the OCHO, and then
Speaker 1: Ricky Starks smiles as if to say, I have outsmarted you.
Speaker 1: I got the match I wanted that you weren't going
Speaker 1: to give me. Now, Ricky Starts has already beaten Chris Jericho.
Speaker 1: Maybe he's going to beat him again. But if you
Speaker 1: go with the idea that Chris Jericho is probably getting
Speaker 1: his wind back over Ricky Starks, nobody from the Jericho
Speaker 1: Appreciation Society can get involved. Well, you know who's not
Speaker 1: in the Jericho Appreciation Society has Powerhouse Hobbs, and he's
Speaker 1: had a past with old Ricky Starks, and maybe maybe
Speaker 1: that's what you could do there. But one way or
Speaker 1: the other, I believe that the big push for Powerhouse Hobbs,
Speaker 1: I think it's coming soon. And he is from the
Speaker 1: Bay Area and this pay per view is in the
Speaker 1: Bay Area, so We'll see what happens, But anyway, he
Speaker 1: is in the face of the Revolution Ladder match Casino
Speaker 1: Tag Team Battle Royal. The winner gets the fourth spot
Speaker 1: and the tag team title match Revolution. We have top
Speaker 1: flight in Ossie Open and Mett Manard and Angelo Parker
Speaker 1: and the best Friends Alex Reynolds and John Silver, Mike Bennett,
Speaker 1: Matt Taven, Preston Vanson, Rush Claudio and Wheeler Utah, the
Speaker 1: Lucca Bros. And the Butcher and the Blade. So who's
Speaker 1: going into that fourth spot right now? We've got the
Speaker 1: Guns the Acclaimed and Jay Lethal and Jeff Jarrett and
Speaker 1: you know, as awesome as the Luca Bros Are, do
Speaker 1: they fit in that match? There's also, of course, I
Speaker 1: would be remiss if I did not note that the
Speaker 1: Casino Battle Royal includes Jokers. There's a Joker team and
Speaker 1: there's a team out there that hasn't been on TV
Speaker 1: for a while, and the last time we saw him,
Speaker 1: they were losing to the Ass Boys, and they have
Speaker 1: been shunned by a w They are teasing that they
Speaker 1: are unhappy and perhaps open to going back to w
Speaker 1: W either teasing their deals are up soon. But if
Speaker 1: I were a betting man here in this casino tag
Speaker 1: team battle. Royal FTRS coming back can win in this
Speaker 1: thing and go into the pay per view. But that's
Speaker 1: not inside information, that's just speculation on my part. We
Speaker 1: shall see. And then also on the show, we've got
Speaker 1: Orange Cassidy versus Big Ass Bill whatever's last name is.
Speaker 1: And then Matt Hardy and Hook for the FTW title
Speaker 1: or if Matt Hardy loses, Hook gets his hands on
Speaker 1: Stokely Jericho will be facing yes, pretty Peter Avalon, Tony
Speaker 1: Storm who cut his hair off. By the way, Tony
Speaker 1: Storm will be facing Riho. Peter Avalon cut the hair off,
Speaker 1: not Tony Storm, and we will be hearing from according
Speaker 1: to the front page of Wrestling Observe dot com, both
Speaker 1: them Jeff and Bran Danielson b R A N which
Speaker 1: when you think about it, wouldn't be a bad NXT name,
Speaker 1: poor old Brian Danielson Brand Danielson. So that is the
Speaker 1: lineup for the Dynamite show coming up on Wednesday, talk
Speaker 1: about Revolution after the Break and a bunch of WrestleMania News,
Speaker 1: weekend shows and more. Observer Live back in the show,
Speaker 1: Bright Albert is here Wrestling Observer Live No. Mike's Simper
Speaker 1: Baby on my own today. If you want Texas four
Speaker 1: two five seven eight zero seven five six six is
Speaker 1: the phone number. Brian at Wrestling Observer dot com at
Speaker 1: Brian albert Is on Twitter. I'll read a few more
Speaker 1: of these. Uh, a few more of these. I was sinking,
Speaker 1: we're almost We're almost at one hundred thousand YouTube subscribers.
Speaker 1: I think we're I think we're like a thousand or
Speaker 1: less away. So if you have not hit that subscribe button,
Speaker 1: what are you waiting for now? Twenty seven days past
Speaker 1: the cutoff for that? I almost called him a pig.
Speaker 1: He's actually a whale. Oreo yep, guys couldn't get him
Speaker 1: on the show. And I keep hearing about Oreo, and
Speaker 1: I don't want to hear about him no more. If
Speaker 1: he was so popular, we would have hit hundred thousand
Speaker 1: by the end of January. But it turns out he's not.
Speaker 1: So Yeah, I I will be accepting that one hundred
Speaker 1: thousand YouTube subscribers plaque. But right there back in the
Speaker 1: corner so y'all can see it, not Oreo. There was
Speaker 1: an Oreo sighting of late. He was doing some dance. Yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, So Revolution we have the Face of the
Speaker 1: Revolution ladder match. Oh we got that. There's the actual
Speaker 1: Revolution pay per view which is coming up this weekend,
Speaker 1: which producer Dom and I are gonna be at a that, right, Dom?
Speaker 1: Heck yeah, I can't wait. I'm excited. Yeah this, Dom
Speaker 1: requested tickets himself and his sister. I went out of
Speaker 1: my way to do it, and then he forgot. He
Speaker 1: literally asked me for another ticket the other day for
Speaker 1: someone I already got a ticket for. Come on, what's
Speaker 1: going on over there? My confusion was over Rampage, not Revolution. Well,
Speaker 1: I took care of you for both. Brother. Who's the
Speaker 1: best host without a doubt? All the others can't compare.
Speaker 1: That's right, that's right. I'd make a comment, but I won't.
Speaker 1: M JF and Brian Danielson is the main event of
Speaker 1: the show, sixty minute iron Man match for the ae
Speaker 1: W We're Old Championship and I'm excited for this match.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be some some violence. Did you guys see
Speaker 1: the brawl they had Holy Smokes, They had a great
Speaker 1: brawl on Dynamite. Then in the middle of this brawl
Speaker 1: they're being torn apart and Brian Danilson builds up ahead
Speaker 1: of his team and he goes running and bam, man.
Speaker 1: He flattened that guy and then they got pulled apart again,
Speaker 1: and they're gonna they're gonna speak on Wednesday and then
Speaker 1: they're gonna wrestle for one hour. Should have had at
Speaker 1: m jaff here on the show, and we could have
Speaker 1: discussed training for an Ironman match, because I heard that
Speaker 1: guy's training pretty hard. That's what I hear. But I
Speaker 1: also remember that I trained very very hard for an
Speaker 1: iron Man match that I had with street Fighter Tim Flowers.
Speaker 1: I think m jaff was about five at the time,
Speaker 1: if I recall correctly, and man, I trained and I trained,
Speaker 1: and I trained. I trained like I was training for
Speaker 1: a fight, a UFC fight, and then we did the
Speaker 1: match and it was nothing. Now, of course I was
Speaker 1: wrestling street fighter Tim Flowers, not Bryan Danielson. So I
Speaker 1: think the advice that I would give him is, you
Speaker 1: actually should train like you're training for a fight, buddy,
Speaker 1: because he ain't got That guy got one speed. Unlike
Speaker 1: street Fighter Tim Flowers, he had multiple gears. I think
Speaker 1: we stayed mostly in first gear, but anyway, we have
Speaker 1: the guns. The acclaimed Jay Lethal and Jeff Jared and
Speaker 1: the fourth team to be announced for the AW World
Speaker 1: tag Team titles in a four way, John Moxley faces
Speaker 1: Hangman Adam Page in a Texas death match, which my guess,
Speaker 1: if I had to make a guess, I would guess
Speaker 1: that there'd be a lot of blood in that one.
Speaker 1: Chris Jericho, Ricky Starks, no Jericho appreciation, sight it rings side.
Speaker 1: We have a three way for the women's title, Jamie Hayter,
Speaker 1: Soreya and Ruby Soho. And then for the a e
Speaker 1: W six man titles, the Elite and the House of
Speaker 1: Black so is Malachi, Brody and Buddy versus Kenny Nick
Speaker 1: and Matt And that's for the a W World six
Speaker 1: man at titles, and maybe they'll do Christian and Jungle Boy.
Speaker 1: There's there's still room to add one or two matches,
Speaker 1: but dude, we got an hour Iron Man match, so
Speaker 1: I don't think we should be having twelve matches here
Speaker 1: on this show. But it's coming up this weekend. I'll
Speaker 1: be there, Dom's gonna be there, Dave's gonna be there.
Speaker 1: No Q and A in San Francisco this time around,
Speaker 1: but I think we're gonna have one. Yeah, we'll have
Speaker 1: another one coming up here soon. So that's all of
Speaker 1: the a W news. And then we have got the
Speaker 1: we have smacked down in rampage from Friday. So Young
Speaker 1: Bucks Nassi open. If we didn't see, it was awesome
Speaker 1: sixteen minute match, and because it was on TV, they
Speaker 1: started building to a finish seemingly about you know, about
Speaker 1: eleven minutes in, so you're thinking it's about to be
Speaker 1: wrapped up, and then they went another five minutes and
Speaker 1: it was just great. Of course, the Young Bucks got
Speaker 1: the wind and then the lights went out. There's als
Speaker 1: a black lights go out again, They're gone. That apparently
Speaker 1: was their challenge for the trio's titles. We had Tony
Speaker 1: Storm beating Willow Nightingale, by the way, speaking a Willow Nightingale,
Speaker 1: do you remember where they were doing that one match?
Speaker 1: And Willow grabbed her and she was gonna give her
Speaker 1: a sit out power bomb off the ramp through a table,
Speaker 1: and what happened was Willow went through the table. Anna
Speaker 1: Jay did not go through the table at all, and dude,
Speaker 1: she crashed and burned on the cement. And a lot
Speaker 1: of times I see, you know, things that look bad,
Speaker 1: and then I ask you know, so and so all right,
Speaker 1: and they'll they'll, you know, sometimes I don't get any answer.
Speaker 1: That's usually not good. Sometimes I'll hear, you know, it
Speaker 1: was it looked scary, but it wasn't that scary. They're
Speaker 1: totally fine. Or I'll here they were banged up, but
Speaker 1: they're all right. I did not get an injury update
Speaker 1: on Anna Jay, but I was told she was messed
Speaker 1: up bad, and that was all I heard. And now
Speaker 1: it turns out that what messed up bad means is
Speaker 1: she dislocated her ribs. She was asked about the injury.
Speaker 1: This was January thirteenth. She wrote, no bruised tailbone, but
Speaker 1: I did have some dislocated ribs. Not fun. She's not
Speaker 1: wrestled on television since they'll think she's wrestled at all
Speaker 1: since actually, but that's what happened. So got to be careful.
Speaker 1: They have to be. There's so many injuries in this
Speaker 1: women's division, and I mean there are injuries in the
Speaker 1: men's division too, but it seems like, you know, on
Speaker 1: a monthly basis, somebody is getting injured or more than
Speaker 1: one person getting injured in the women's division. Jade, by
Speaker 1: the way, cut of promo. We have no match for
Speaker 1: her at the pay per view, so if they want
Speaker 1: to do a TBS title match, I mean we got
Speaker 1: to get a challenger. Quick. Lance Archer squashed Bryce Saturn
Speaker 1: and then we had Sammy gabar Action and Dreading the
Speaker 1: made of it. They only got about ten minutes, but
Speaker 1: very good ten minutes, very good match, and you know,
Speaker 1: everybody was out there at ringside, and and Jericho was
Speaker 1: doing commentary and ended up with Garcia hitting and Dready
Speaker 1: with a clothesline behind the referees back Sammy hit the
Speaker 1: gth pinned him and then Jericho came out and they
Speaker 1: celebrated as the show went off the air. So overall,
Speaker 1: in terms of wrestling, Rampage was an excellent show and
Speaker 1: we'll see, I guess today how it does in the ratings.
Speaker 1: I mean, he's gonna do better than last week, and
Speaker 1: if not, big problems because they are not preempted. This
Speaker 1: week we had smacked out with Imperium beating braun Stroman
Speaker 1: Ricochet and mad cab Moss. So they did a social
Speaker 1: media deal where Emma and mad Cap teased turning heel
Speaker 1: because of the fans. But in this match, I mean
Speaker 1: he was a total baby face, although they did acknowledge
Speaker 1: the promo, So it looks like mad Cap is all
Speaker 1: on the way to a heel turn, but they are
Speaker 1: not doing it. Imminently, Drew mcatyre came out he is
Speaker 1: officially challenged for the Intercontinental title him been Gunther at Mania,
Speaker 1: which listen, I wanted to see Gunther and brock Lessner
Speaker 1: a Mania, but you know it's going to be an
Speaker 1: awesome match. Is Drew McIntyre and Gunther for the Intercontinental title,
Speaker 1: so that looks like it's going to be a WrestleMania match.
Speaker 1: We had a show long storyline with Jimmy and Solo
Speaker 1: and Jay and Sammy which wrapped up at the end
Speaker 1: of the show where essentially, you know, Sammy's trying to
Speaker 1: turn Jimmy against Roman, but Roman was not having it,
Speaker 1: and Jay ends up showing up there at the end,
Speaker 1: and first Jimmy goes after Sammy, then there's abstractions. Sammy
Speaker 1: lays out Jimmy with the kick in the corner, and
Speaker 1: then he leaves the ring and he looks at Jay
Speaker 1: and Jay looks at him, and they're teasing which way
Speaker 1: is Jay gonna go? And I think we all know
Speaker 1: which way Jay is going to go La Night segment
Speaker 1: with The New Day, which led to Kofe Kingston and
Speaker 1: La Night. Dude, I love these guys, but between the
Speaker 1: promo and the match, this whole segment was like thirty minutes.
Speaker 1: They talked for like I don't know, eight nine minutes,
Speaker 1: and then they go to commercial, and then they came
Speaker 1: back and wrestled for sixteen minutes, and then there was
Speaker 1: a distraction trombone and Kingston ended up hitting him with
Speaker 1: the trouble in Paradise for the Wind. I think there
Speaker 1: was like a segment with it might have been Live
Speaker 1: Morgan or something that was bumped from the show due
Speaker 1: to time constraints or something, But dude, what did this thing?
Speaker 1: And you know, we've talked about it before, like saying,
Speaker 1: you know, cut time here and add time there. That's
Speaker 1: all great in theory, but you know in real life
Speaker 1: you can't always do that because of crossover segments and
Speaker 1: commercials and everything like that. But man, this did not
Speaker 1: need to go sixteen minutes and then have something else
Speaker 1: get cut later in the show. But we'll talk more
Speaker 1: about SmackDown after the break. Obserber Live back on the show,
Speaker 1: Brian Elberez here, Rustling Observer Live, a couple more SmackDown
Speaker 1: notes and then you guys lucked out, got a lot
Speaker 1: of text messages. So I'm not gonna take calls Charlotte
Speaker 1: and Ria. We're supposed to have a face to face.
Speaker 1: What was actually Charlotte and Dominic. Man. This Dominant gets heat.
Speaker 1: This guy got some heat. He goes back and forth.
Speaker 1: Finally Charlotte's like, dude, you know what, I'm gonna beat
Speaker 1: your ass, starts taking off her gimmick and incomes Ria
Speaker 1: and literally they looked each other and then left. That
Speaker 1: was an old segment. Shana beat Natty Tigan. Knox was
Speaker 1: out there, Ronda Rousy ended up interfering. Basler hit a
Speaker 1: running knee armball, and then they go after Natty after
Speaker 1: the match. Tigan makes the save and so Rousey was weird.
Speaker 1: Rousey challenged Teagan to a match next week, but then
Speaker 1: later they announced it was a tag match. I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna say this is a change of plans because Okam's
Speaker 1: razor is Rousey you know, just said, you know, beat
Speaker 1: your ass next week, and it was to set up
Speaker 1: a tag match, but it sounded like she was challenging
Speaker 1: for a singles match. We had a wacky firefly funhouse deal.
Speaker 1: I don't know what's going on. I never knew apparely,
Speaker 1: I don't have a high enough IQ. But there's some
Speaker 1: sort of secret all right, carrying Cross beat Ray mysterio.
Speaker 1: When Dominic interfered and Dominic got in Ray's face, He's
Speaker 1: begging him to hit him, and Cross ends up whacking
Speaker 1: Ray from behind. Cross jacket submits him. Afterwards, Dominant gets
Speaker 1: back in the ring. Come on, dad, hit me all
Speaker 1: right and raise like ah. And he looks around and
Speaker 1: he's raised, got such amazing facial expressions in a mask.
Speaker 1: You can see how sad and how heartbroken he is.
Speaker 1: And finally he just can't do and he walks away
Speaker 1: and everybody booze. They're waiting for that big punch. Then
Speaker 1: we had the main event segment and that was the
Speaker 1: end of that. So not lock him and raise are
Speaker 1: I can't even look at the chat half the time anymore.
Speaker 1: Let's see what the I was. I'm gonna do it,
Speaker 1: but people are texting about it. How is it possible
Speaker 1: for an airline to sell more seats than a half
Speaker 1: for a flight even one time? Let alone all day
Speaker 1: every day. Well, I don't know, but it's legal. You
Speaker 1: don't think I looked it up. Yeah, so here's what
Speaker 1: I understand. Explain this to me. Okay, So they're allowed
Speaker 1: to oversell because the idea is, well, if we sell
Speaker 1: a hundred tickets, two people may not show up. You know,
Speaker 1: we got to book them on another flight, and we
Speaker 1: lose out on that money. Okay, So instead they oversold
Speaker 1: by five tickets. And then you know what they do
Speaker 1: when they oversell is they're like, we're looking for a
Speaker 1: couple of volunteers who want to take a later flight,
Speaker 1: and then you know, nobody volunteers. Then they go, we're
Speaker 1: offering a thousand dollars each to anybody who will take
Speaker 1: a later flight. Well, nobody shows up. You know, we're
Speaker 1: offering fifteen it's like an auction, fifteen hundred, fifteen hundred
Speaker 1: if you'll take No one shows up. Finally they go,
Speaker 1: they get up to we'll offer two thousand dollars to
Speaker 1: everybody willing to take another flight. And then on top
Speaker 1: of that, we're going to repay you dollar for dollars
Speaker 1: for your hotel. So if you want to go to
Speaker 1: the you know a thousand dollars a night hotel we're
Speaker 1: gonna give you, We're gonna repay. You know, however many
Speaker 1: nights and it's like you're losing your ass. You would
Speaker 1: have been better off not overselling and any other thing.
Speaker 1: You know, you know, you know long ago. I booked
Speaker 1: this flight months ago, four or five months ago. So
Speaker 1: I go up to the to the lady and you know,
Speaker 1: I got my boarding bass got no seat for me
Speaker 1: in Paisley, And you know, she goes, you don't have
Speaker 1: a seat. I said what She goes, Well, you don't
Speaker 1: have a seat. We oversold. And I said, well, like
Speaker 1: what happens if nobody gives up their seat? And she goes, well,
Speaker 1: the people that don't have a seat can't fly. I'm like,
Speaker 1: so what did I buy? I bought a no seat?
Speaker 1: What did I buy? I don't have a seat. So
Speaker 1: when I paid in advanced four months ago to go
Speaker 1: from Seattle, what was I paying for, like to sit
Speaker 1: on the wing? I paid for no seat. Then you know,
Speaker 1: I'm like, well, okay, I get booted off this plane
Speaker 1: because I paid for no seat. Well when do I
Speaker 1: get to And here's the problem. They needed five people
Speaker 1: to volunteer. They over sold by five tickets. Okay, there's
Speaker 1: a last Airlines. I'm throwing them under the bus, the
Speaker 1: last Airlines. So they over sold by five seats. So
Speaker 1: they have five volunteers. Okay. So the first person comes up.
Speaker 1: They got a whole family, a family of four. They're like,
Speaker 1: so each, let me get this straight. We each get
Speaker 1: a thousand dollars and we can stay wherever we want
Speaker 1: in hunt in in MAUI like yeah, they go, okay,
Speaker 1: well uh what uh? When's the next flight back? Lay
Speaker 1: looks things. She goes, March first. There's no flight back
Speaker 1: until March for first. This is February twenty fifth, no
Speaker 1: flight back till March twenty sixth, March first. So you know,
Speaker 1: they're like, ah, we can't do that long. And so
Speaker 1: then I'm asking to I'm like, so if I can't,
Speaker 1: you know, if I can't get on the flight, I
Speaker 1: can get back until March first. Nope, March first, and
Speaker 1: then jingo, here the bit of my existence. Why did
Speaker 1: you not pick your seats? Bro? Listen, we did pick seats.
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter. In fact, In fact, when I went
Speaker 1: to check in and we checked in immediately, when we
Speaker 1: were allowed to check in. The thing comes up and
Speaker 1: we have no seats for Paisley, and I I'm like, okay,
Speaker 1: I gotta call these people. So I literally called. I
Speaker 1: stayed on hold for forty five minutes or whatever, and
Speaker 1: then I talked to a really nice lady, and you know,
Speaker 1: she goes, well, you know, there's there's four seats left
Speaker 1: on the airplane, and two of them are in an
Speaker 1: emergency row which your daughter can't sit in, and the
Speaker 1: other two are in an unaccompanied miners row and you're
Speaker 1: not a miner. So I was like, so we lost somehow,
Speaker 1: we lost our seats in the last four months. She goes,
Speaker 1: here's what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna put you in
Speaker 1: the unaccompanied minor row with your daughter. So now you
Speaker 1: have seats. She gave me the seats, shows up on
Speaker 1: the app. Everything, everything's great. I'm like, okay, we have seats.
Speaker 1: So then I show up the airport the next day
Speaker 1: and we go to print everything out and also now
Speaker 1: I don't have seats anymore. My seats vanished. The boarding
Speaker 1: pass has a seat for me and not for Paisley,
Speaker 1: even though the night before and it's on my app,
Speaker 1: I even up to Lee. I go on my app,
Speaker 1: it says, we have these two seats. He goes, you
Speaker 1: don't have those seats. You don't have seats. Neither of
Speaker 1: you have seats. Now what it's like on the app?
Speaker 1: I have these are mice, nupe. You don't have those seats.
Speaker 1: You don't have seats. You don't have seats on this plane.
Speaker 1: Have to wait to see if someone gives up their seats.
Speaker 1: I'm like, dude, whatever. So anyway, that was a story
Speaker 1: of and you can do it. Yeah, maybe my tickets
Speaker 1: had cards subject to change. Yeah, why does flying suck
Speaker 1: so much these days? As person said, my parents got
Speaker 1: stuck at the airport in Milwaukee for an entire day,
Speaker 1: missed that day of vacation in Jamaica. At least they
Speaker 1: had a great rest of their trip. Well that's a
Speaker 1: positive way to look at it. Did they not have seats?
Speaker 1: By the way, I got a fly to San Francisco
Speaker 1: and back this coming weekend, then to Wrestlemanian back, and
Speaker 1: then you know all of these I'm just waiting what
Speaker 1: disaster will befollow me this time I have seats. Well,
Speaker 1: we'll see what happens when the day comes if I
Speaker 1: actually have a seat, because you don't really have a
Speaker 1: seat apparently, and it wasn't Spirit, it was Alaska and
Speaker 1: this next one's delta. Oh God help me. All right,
Speaker 1: let's keep going here. Brian thoughtson of Hobbs should win
Speaker 1: and insert himself into the Joe Wardlow match since the
Speaker 1: feud doesn't really need a title right now, What do
Speaker 1: you mean the feud doesn't need a title? A whole
Speaker 1: feud is about the title really and his hair. But yeah,
Speaker 1: he could win the Face of the Revolution ladder match
Speaker 1: and say, dude, my hometown is San Francisco, and man,
Speaker 1: I'm going to San Francisco. I wanted that match for
Speaker 1: the TNT title and he's got to win. You could
Speaker 1: do that, So I think that, you know, hey, listen,
Speaker 1: that's what I do. But it's not my company, or
Speaker 1: am I paid by Tony Kahn? Had some guy on Twitter.
Speaker 1: What a life this guy had? He was really mad
Speaker 1: about something the other day and he goes, it's so
Speaker 1: obvious that Brian and Dave are being paid by Tony Kahn.
Speaker 1: Someday what of these days? He said, it's gonna come out.
Speaker 1: I was like, keep waiting, brother, I can't wait for
Speaker 1: this this uh, this one of these days, it's gonna
Speaker 1: come out this proof. Remember that fake There was a
Speaker 1: fake thing that like showed up on Reddit or something
Speaker 1: where it had like all the money that everyone was
Speaker 1: being paid. It had me and Dave on there, and
Speaker 1: people saw it and they were like, ah, proof they're
Speaker 1: being paid. Any thoughts or further Let's see. I don't
Speaker 1: know what Ryan said, so I can't I can't comment
Speaker 1: on that one. I think, well, let's see what do
Speaker 1: we have here? Joy Rey calls, we have any good? Uh?
Speaker 1: Where is Goldberg? Why isn't he at Mania? Well, maybe
Speaker 1: he'll be at Mania. There's two nights of Mania and
Speaker 1: there's still time. But I don't know what Goldberg's eights
Speaker 1: contract deal was. But I mean for a while, it
Speaker 1: was like, you know, they needed him for a big match,
Speaker 1: they'd pay him an extraordinary amount of money, he'd show
Speaker 1: up and do it, and they'd just go back home again.
Speaker 1: I presume he's still doing that right now. I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't think he's, you know, likely to go to
Speaker 1: a w or anything like that. Maybe he's he's he
Speaker 1: owes a few more matches, but you don't need him
Speaker 1: that's the key. And this is nothing against Goldberg. WrestleMania,
Speaker 1: dude is already pretty much sold out. So you know,
Speaker 1: find a show that's not sold out that's a show
Speaker 1: you can put Goldberg on if he's gonna move tickets.
Speaker 1: We don't need to add another person that's gonna move
Speaker 1: tickets to a show that has no more tickets to move.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just like you're you're spending, well, you're
Speaker 1: gonna spend five million dollars or whatever to have him
Speaker 1: do a match with somebody, and it doesn't matter because
Speaker 1: you're not selling another ticket. I mean maybe you'd say
Speaker 1: you sell more merch or whatever, but I mean there's
Speaker 1: gonna be shows that are not going to do as
Speaker 1: well as WrestleMania is doing right now, so you may
Speaker 1: as well used Goldberg. Then he didn't need to be
Speaker 1: on this show. If you want to, you can. How
Speaker 1: would Awe Saale effected the lore of Uncle Howdy? Well,
Speaker 1: you know, if they sell and Vince gets put back
Speaker 1: in his head of creative, well I think we'll have
Speaker 1: a lot more lore. Although I don't forget don't forget that,
Speaker 1: you know, Vince did fire him and and uh, you know,
Speaker 1: I know people like to say, well, I don't, wasn't Vince.
Speaker 1: Vince was running the show and bray White was released,
Speaker 1: so it was it was Vince. A lot of people probably,
Speaker 1: you know, there's a lot of people that they're working
Speaker 1: now because Vince left. They were rehired after he was gone.
Speaker 1: So you can imagine what a lot of people are
Speaker 1: thinking with Vince teasing that he's going to get back
Speaker 1: into power here if you and Tom win the tag titles,
Speaker 1: but then you have to retire before you can defend them.
Speaker 1: I think he's trying to say, well, they go in abeyance,
Speaker 1: but he wrote obedience. Yes they will, they will, they
Speaker 1: will go into abeyance. But I will tell you this
Speaker 1: when when Filthy Tom and I win the Black Label
Speaker 1: Pro World Tag Team Championships, I vowed to not retire.
Speaker 1: I will be a fighting Tom and I will be
Speaker 1: fighting champions. Yes. And by the way, today on the
Speaker 1: Filthy Show two Pacific five Eastern, I believe that Tom
Speaker 1: has the contract. I was in Hawaii, so you know
Speaker 1: I know a Fax machinery there. So Tom has a
Speaker 1: contract and I think we need to sign that thing.
Speaker 1: A sap back in a month with more Observer Live. Hey,
Speaker 1: back in the show. Brian Elberrez here Wrestling Observer Live.

Speaker 1: of storylines, a lot of angles, And I know people
Speaker 1: don't like spoilers or anything like that, but they're putting
