Raw is tonight and it's gonna air on 0:00:33.080 --> 0:00:37.479 Sci Fi and ain't gonna do well. We'll tell you 0:00:37.440 --> 0:00:40.640 about the lineup for the show here tonight. We've got preemptions. 0:00:41.000 --> 0:00:43.159 I mean, we've got preemptions all over the place coming up. 0:00:43.159 --> 0:00:49.360 We got Raw preemptions, we got Rampage preemptions as a 0:00:49.400 --> 0:00:52.519 result of All Star Weekend. None of these shows are 0:00:52.520 --> 0:00:56.920 gonna do well in their new time slots, so as 0:00:56.960 --> 0:00:58.920 as usually the case, as I say with a W 0:00:58.920 --> 0:01:01.480 when they're preempted. I don't want to go online tomorrow 0:01:01.520 --> 0:01:04.480 and see how, oh my god, everything's going horribly for 0:01:04.680 --> 0:01:08.000 w W either sinking WrestleMania. It was gonna buddy, it's 0:01:08.000 --> 0:01:11.240 going to do poorly on Sci FI and then when 0:01:11.280 --> 0:01:13.720 it's back on USA, it's going to do well again. 0:01:14.319 --> 0:01:16.920 We'll tell you about that. I also watched the Rampage 0:01:16.920 --> 0:01:18.840 and SmackDown show, So if you want to talk about 0:01:18.840 --> 0:01:22.240 those two shows, Rampage lots of good wrestling, lots of 0:01:22.360 --> 0:01:26.480 build uh slow build for their their next pay per view, 0:01:27.160 --> 0:01:31.600 and obviously there were there were slow build segments on 0:01:31.680 --> 0:01:34.680 SmackDown as well. We are going to get Charlotte Flair 0:01:34.760 --> 0:01:38.119 and Rohn Da Rousey at WrestleMania. That is the match, 0:01:38.720 --> 0:01:43.080 and Rhonda Rousey five hundred million times better on SmackDown 0:01:43.120 --> 0:01:45.560 than she was on Raw. So we'll tell you about 0:01:45.560 --> 0:01:49.280 those two shows there. We've also got a top wrestler 0:01:49.480 --> 0:01:56.720 walking through the forbidden Door on Dynamite Wednesday. Coincidentally, Keith 0:01:56.960 --> 0:02:01.120 Lee and Mia Yim just got married, so congratulates to them. 0:02:01.240 --> 0:02:04.400 Curd Angle not coming back to w w E, and 0:02:04.600 --> 0:02:10.280 x T announcing matches for their Vengeance Day show on 0:02:10.520 --> 0:02:17.919 social media and not on national television, and plenty more. 0:02:19.280 --> 0:02:21.400 You know, you can be idiot proof but still not 0:02:21.440 --> 0:02:23.520 being idiot. I just want to throw that out there 0:02:23.600 --> 0:02:43.720 back in a moment observer live back of the show 0:02:43.800 --> 0:02:46.880 right now, But is here Wrestling Observer Live makes some 0:02:46.960 --> 0:02:51.359 bviv also wrestling observer dot com. I see everyone here 0:02:51.440 --> 0:02:54.360 is asking about Facebook. I just to make it quick. 0:02:55.280 --> 0:02:58.160 There is no story. So I went on Facebook, which, 0:02:58.200 --> 0:03:00.880 by the way, I almost never do anything Facebook, but 0:03:00.960 --> 0:03:04.639 I was on Facebook because it does suck. And uh 0:03:04.960 --> 0:03:07.280 one of my buddies was like, oh, you know, Comcast 0:03:07.360 --> 0:03:12.160 is raising prices. Speaking of things that suck, what what's 0:03:12.160 --> 0:03:14.760 a good thing around? And I just I wrote zip 0:03:14.840 --> 0:03:18.560 Lee and uh. I tried to post it, and then 0:03:18.600 --> 0:03:20.959 a big exclamation point came up and it was it 0:03:21.120 --> 0:03:24.040 didn't post. I was like, what is going on here? 0:03:24.680 --> 0:03:28.120 I can't I can't write zip Lee. That was weird. 0:03:28.639 --> 0:03:31.320 So then I I, you know, I thought, what is 0:03:31.360 --> 0:03:34.600 going on here? And I just decided I'm gonna try 0:03:34.600 --> 0:03:37.360 and post something. So I'm just gonna post a picture 0:03:37.360 --> 0:03:40.800 of my daughter doing an armbar on me, and uh, 0:03:40.880 --> 0:03:43.520 I got another exclamation point and it said your account 0:03:43.600 --> 0:03:47.880 is restricted. I was like, restricted, I don't even post. 0:03:48.440 --> 0:03:50.240 I never even come on here. I can't remember the 0:03:50.320 --> 0:03:52.040 last time. I may have posted like a picture on 0:03:52.120 --> 0:03:55.200 Instagram and then you know, automatically shared on Facebook. But 0:03:55.240 --> 0:03:58.680 I don't do anything I'm never on Facebook, so somehow 0:03:58.680 --> 0:04:01.360 my account was restricted, so that I spent like twenty 0:04:01.400 --> 0:04:04.720 minutes like okay, what's going on here? And you're going 0:04:04.800 --> 0:04:07.760 to help section it goes. If your account was restricted, 0:04:08.280 --> 0:04:12.080 your first strike it should be you know, I forget 0:04:12.120 --> 0:04:14.200 what it was, something like thirty minutes or something like that. 0:04:14.760 --> 0:04:16.719 And then you know, later in that morning, I still 0:04:16.720 --> 0:04:19.400 couldn't post. I was like, this ain't changing anytime soon, 0:04:19.920 --> 0:04:23.240 and so I just, uh, I just deleted my Facebook. 0:04:23.560 --> 0:04:26.080 I don't use it. I don't care every time I 0:04:26.120 --> 0:04:28.279 go on it. It's just like a bunch of misery. 0:04:28.440 --> 0:04:31.440 So anyway, if you want to follow me, you can 0:04:31.480 --> 0:04:34.960 go on Twitter obviously at Brian Alvarez, or you can 0:04:35.000 --> 0:04:37.760 go to the uh the insta as they call it, 0:04:38.160 --> 0:04:41.640 F four W online and I'll put pictures up there. 0:04:42.440 --> 0:04:45.719 But uh, yeah, if I can't get on my Facebook, 0:04:45.760 --> 0:04:49.440 what do I have it for my account? You restricted? 0:04:50.279 --> 0:04:53.760 Its restricted? You know it's restricted. Facebook is restricted from 0:04:53.800 --> 0:04:59.680 this house. Now I don't need them. You use Instagram, 0:04:59.760 --> 0:05:02.159 though I picked I put pictures up there. I put it. 0:05:02.240 --> 0:05:04.440 You want to see Paisley doing an armbar, go to 0:05:04.520 --> 0:05:08.600 my insta have four W online. But it's owned by Facebook. 0:05:09.080 --> 0:05:11.400 But it doesn't matter, Mike. It's I'm not mad at like, 0:05:11.680 --> 0:05:13.600 I don't care. I don't even know what's his idiot's 0:05:13.680 --> 0:05:18.679 name to put Facebook together. What's name Zuckerberg? Whatever? Yeah, 0:05:19.360 --> 0:05:24.279 I'm not whatever is his Facebook? Platform sucks. If I 0:05:24.320 --> 0:05:26.680 can post on Instagram, I'll use Instagram. When I can't 0:05:26.680 --> 0:05:31.159 post on Instagram anymore, I'll cancel Instagram. Let's just use Twitter. 0:05:31.560 --> 0:05:34.839 I do use Twitter. Get rid of Instagram altogether. Then 0:05:35.960 --> 0:05:39.000 Instagram also sent me this thing about getting verified because 0:05:39.000 --> 0:05:41.800 I'm verified on Twitter, and so there's this little thing 0:05:41.839 --> 0:05:44.520 that you're supposed to fill out or whatever. So you know, 0:05:44.839 --> 0:05:46.839 it asked me to fill everything out, so I filled 0:05:46.880 --> 0:05:49.520 it all out, and then it goes you're not eligible 0:05:49.520 --> 0:05:54.160 to be verified whatever. What does this even mean anyway? 0:05:54.360 --> 0:05:57.320 But you know what, let's talk about something exciting. I 0:05:57.440 --> 0:06:02.600 was the winner of the prediction contest. Yeah, and as 0:06:02.600 --> 0:06:07.440 a result, every year, the winner gets a prize. I believe. 0:06:07.440 --> 0:06:10.200 Early on, I gave out plaques out of my own pocket. 0:06:10.279 --> 0:06:13.840 I might add I sent plaques and then I sent 0:06:14.200 --> 0:06:15.919 it wasn't rigged, you idiots. I put it up to 0:06:15.920 --> 0:06:20.000 a vote on Twitter, and then you got. Did you 0:06:20.000 --> 0:06:22.279 get a trophy or a plaque? I got a plaque. 0:06:22.480 --> 0:06:25.599 Bro Let me tell you what's brave putting up putting 0:06:25.600 --> 0:06:28.159 a poll on my Twitter about whether I should win 0:06:28.640 --> 0:06:30.960 the fact that I barely won tells you that it 0:06:31.040 --> 0:06:33.719 normally would have been a landslide. But everyone on Twitter, 0:06:33.800 --> 0:06:36.040 my my own Twitter, hates me. But anyway, the point 0:06:36.080 --> 0:06:38.080 is I won, and so I thought what could I 0:06:39.080 --> 0:06:43.480 What could I get for myself for a prize? Uh, 0:06:43.560 --> 0:06:47.080 you know, I got so many trophies. I just have 0:06:47.240 --> 0:06:52.719 so many trophies. It's ridiculous. And uh, plaques, I got plaques. 0:06:52.920 --> 0:06:55.400 I got my still hold on all your trophies, black 0:06:55.440 --> 0:06:58.760 belt certification right there, I do have my sixth grade 0:06:58.960 --> 0:07:02.520 student of the Year plaque, your field day participation belts. 0:07:02.680 --> 0:07:04.880 I got so much stuff. So I was just thinking 0:07:04.880 --> 0:07:08.640 about it. And you know what I got got? Oh 0:07:08.680 --> 0:07:17.880 it's beautiful, Yes, shiny, beautiful white gold. I got myself 0:07:17.960 --> 0:07:21.400 a ring. Can you see that? Everybody? Are you kidding? Man? Yeah? 0:07:21.480 --> 0:07:22.920 Maybe you can't see it.

Yeah, knock jist, 0:07:56.040 --> 0:07:57.840 give me a break. Oh, I can't wear a ring 0:07:57.920 --> 0:08:00.280 now because I'm m JF Are you saying are you 0:08:00.320 --> 0:08:02.720 saying that he's got cubics or coney? Is? Is that 0:08:02.760 --> 0:08:06.960 what you're saying. I'm not a real diamond ring. It's 0:08:06.960 --> 0:08:10.360 a gimmick. So you're saying you got How do we 0:08:10.400 --> 0:08:14.640 know you've got white gold? Look at it when we 0:08:15.000 --> 0:08:17.240 come on? Do you think that focus? What do you 0:08:17.280 --> 0:08:20.280 think it is? It could be a lego gone, I'd 0:08:20.280 --> 0:08:26.760 say it was platinum. Oh please, for what it's a 0:08:26.840 --> 0:08:31.960 ring to be a ring? It's way too soft punching 0:08:32.000 --> 0:08:35.199 people with this thing. Boy, would I ever like to 0:08:35.240 --> 0:08:38.560 punch a few people with this thing? But I'm not gonna. 0:08:39.040 --> 0:08:41.000 But anyway, since none of you are going to, I 0:08:41.000 --> 0:08:44.400 would like to, Uh, I would like to congratulate myself 0:08:44.440 --> 0:08:47.080 on winning the prediction contest. You patris himself on the 0:08:47.080 --> 0:08:50.920 back like Barry arwoots. So there do it? Do it? 0:08:53.240 --> 0:08:55.760 Do you mean like chompa. Can we move into you know, 0:08:55.800 --> 0:08:59.800 the twenty one century. I got one other announcement and 0:08:59.840 --> 0:09:02.240 I'll get to the news. So tomorrow and the Brian 0:09:02.240 --> 0:09:06.000 of Vinny Show were reviewing WrestleMania nine. WrestleMania nine was 0:09:06.520 --> 0:09:09.839 what most people remember as a horrible show. We'll make 0:09:09.880 --> 0:09:14.600 that determination tomorrow. But it was at Caesar's Palace and 0:09:14.960 --> 0:09:18.840 they all wore togas. And so again I might add, 0:09:18.840 --> 0:09:22.760 out of my own pocket, I bought togas for myself, 0:09:23.000 --> 0:09:26.280 Vinnie and Craig, you bought togas. I'm just use a 0:09:26.280 --> 0:09:30.320 white bed sheet, bro, because listen the twitch homies, the 0:09:30.360 --> 0:09:33.960 top tier YouTube subscribers. These people pay their hard earned 0:09:33.960 --> 0:09:35.920 net money every month. So you think I'm gonna wrap 0:09:35.920 --> 0:09:38.960 a white blanket around myself for this, No. I bought 0:09:40.240 --> 0:09:45.800 full Finkles and it ain't aluminum. I bought togas for myself, 0:09:46.000 --> 0:09:50.760 Vinnie and Craig, And tomorrow we will be reviewing WrestleMania 0:09:50.880 --> 0:09:56.320 nine and having a full fledged toga party here at 0:09:56.920 --> 0:10:02.480 Chateau Chico and the Lovely Studio. And because it's a 0:10:02.520 --> 0:10:07.319 special event, and because I'm feeling generous having bought uh 0:10:07.440 --> 0:10:11.560 a white gold, solid white Gold Ring UH to award 0:10:11.679 --> 0:10:17.400 reward myself and also togas. This show will be live 0:10:18.080 --> 0:10:25.400 at nine pacific midnight Eastern on both YouTube and Twitch. 0:10:26.240 --> 0:10:30.360 So if you are a top tier YouTube subscriber, end up. 0:10:30.440 --> 0:10:35.760 It's not free up paying Twitch homie both every all 0:10:35.800 --> 0:10:39.800 of you will be able to watch your freeloaders. No freeloaders, 0:10:39.800 --> 0:10:44.000 no freeloaders. These togas didn't pay for themselves. So anyway, 0:10:44.400 --> 0:10:47.040 it is actually very easy on on Twitch because what 0:10:47.080 --> 0:10:49.520 you can do on Twitch is if you've got Amazon 0:10:49.640 --> 0:10:52.959 Prime and who doesn't, Amazon Prime gives you a free 0:10:52.960 --> 0:10:56.800 Twitch subscription every month and you can use that for 0:10:57.080 --> 0:11:00.200 our Twitch channel here at four W video. So you 0:11:00.280 --> 0:11:03.319 go to uh twitch dot tv slash uff w video. 0:11:04.200 --> 0:11:06.839 You you go to sign up, it says UH use 0:11:06.920 --> 0:11:09.440 your Amazon Prime account. You do that, you pay nothing. 0:11:10.200 --> 0:11:12.959 I pay for the togas out of your money and 0:11:13.120 --> 0:11:18.199 everything works out. So tomorrow UH nine Pacific midnight Eastern, 0:11:18.640 --> 0:11:23.600 Twitch and YouTube Cybelcast. Make sure you renew your subscriptions now, 0:11:23.640 --> 0:11:27.720 because I have gotten a picture that you have not seen. 0:11:27.760 --> 0:11:32.800 I don't think of Craig in his toga.

Look at you. Don't you 0:13:07.880 --> 0:13:13.160 know anything about anything. But there's different types of carrots exactly. 0:13:13.240 --> 0:13:15.400 You know what. I didn't want to get caret gold 0:13:15.400 --> 0:13:18.400 because it would just it would be like butter. But 0:13:19.160 --> 0:13:22.560 with the platinum it's too soft. Yeah, but eighteen care gold, 0:13:22.679 --> 0:13:25.839 depending on what you you mix it with, can be 0:13:26.160 --> 0:13:29.320 can be very very hard. And everyone, uh we're listening 0:13:29.320 --> 0:13:33.160 to this and knows anything about jewelry, will you know? Man, 0:13:33.240 --> 0:13:35.839 my hands look old one day. I'm still going to 0:13:35.920 --> 0:13:38.360 get enough money where I can get the golden diamond 0:13:38.480 --> 0:13:41.040 fronts that I've been wanting for my entire life. And 0:13:41.080 --> 0:13:43.440 I know what everybody says when they get those, rappers 0:13:43.440 --> 0:13:45.920 and athletes and things like that, talk about for your teeth. 0:13:46.160 --> 0:13:49.640 Yeah absolutely, oh man. I always wanted those things, and 0:13:49.640 --> 0:13:51.480 they always say once you get them, you never like 0:13:51.559 --> 0:13:53.120 it's like a complete waste of money. You could have 0:13:53.200 --> 0:13:55.320 put that one anywhere else. But I still want them. 0:13:55.400 --> 0:13:58.480 I still want those. Let's talk about the news where 0:13:58.480 --> 0:14:02.400 people stop listening, all right, A few things. Actually there's 0:14:02.440 --> 0:14:05.560 a lot going on, so tonight, uh seth rawlins and 0:14:05.720 --> 0:14:10.040 Riddle is on the card, allegedly an appearance from Leita, 0:14:11.040 --> 0:14:13.920 and as noted, the show is going to be airing 0:14:13.960 --> 0:14:18.000 on Sci Fi, which is uh, you know, ratings death. 0:14:18.200 --> 0:14:21.280 I would presume. Uh. There's also the third and final 0:14:21.320 --> 0:14:23.840 stage of the Academic Challenge with r K Brow and 0:14:23.920 --> 0:14:26.440 alph Academy. I have no idea if Randy Orton is 0:14:26.480 --> 0:14:29.600 going to be on the show. Anything is possible. I 0:14:29.640 --> 0:14:31.200 was under the impression he was gonna be gone for 0:14:31.240 --> 0:14:34.200 a while, but there's still, you know, doing this academic 0:14:34.240 --> 0:14:36.080 challenge to build up for a pay per view, which 0:14:36.080 --> 0:14:39.640 I presume is elimination chamber. He wasn't the show last week, 0:14:40.200 --> 0:14:44.280 so we will find out tonight. So if you DVR 0:14:44.320 --> 0:14:48.080 the show, if you sell one of those old fashioned DVRs, 0:14:48.080 --> 0:14:50.600 not like YouTube TV that records that no matter where 0:14:50.640 --> 0:14:53.400 it airs, make sure you set your DV Are you 0:14:53.480 --> 0:14:56.240 gonna miss I don't want you to miss raw? Speaking 0:14:56.280 --> 0:14:58.960 of Comcast, I actually had to check and for some 0:14:59.040 --> 0:15:02.480 reason some show I'll actually do this with another shows 0:15:02.520 --> 0:15:04.800 they won't. This time around. They didn't, so I had 0:15:04.840 --> 0:15:08.280 to manually set that. So if you're an Exfinity customer, 0:15:08.320 --> 0:15:11.480 you may want to double check on that one. We've 0:15:11.520 --> 0:15:14.120 also got doing due to the NBA's All Star Weekend 0:15:14.440 --> 0:15:16.840 one of this month um one of this month's episodes 0:15:16.840 --> 0:15:19.080 of Rampage is gonna be airing a different time slot. 0:15:19.440 --> 0:15:23.520 The Friday, February eighteen episode of Rampage is gonna air 0:15:23.600 --> 0:15:28.480 at seven Eastern Time. NBA's Rising Stars Tournament will begin 0:15:28.480 --> 0:15:31.360 on T and T at nine Eastern net Friday as 0:15:31.440 --> 0:15:34.320 part of the All Star Weekend. The show usually airs 0:15:34.760 --> 0:15:38.720 from ten to eleven. Obviously, because it's seven to eight, 0:15:38.720 --> 0:15:41.119 it's not going to go head to head with SmackDown. 0:15:41.560 --> 0:15:47.160 This is gonna be interesting because ten to eleven, I 0:15:47.160 --> 0:15:50.320 believe it's technically in prime time Prime time eight nine 0:15:50.320 --> 0:15:52.920 o'clock PM, ten o'clock to eleven o'clock is it is, 0:15:53.320 --> 0:15:58.480 It's still considered prime time. Seven is not okay, but 0:15:58.600 --> 0:16:02.640 it will be interesting to see if seven to eight 0:16:03.440 --> 0:16:08.080 actually does better then ten to eleven, even though seven 0:16:08.080 --> 0:16:11.440 to eight is not in prime time. The idea when 0:16:11.440 --> 0:16:15.720 they when they this is a t this is TNT. Obviously, 0:16:16.560 --> 0:16:20.800 when they first gave Rampage that time slot was we 0:16:20.880 --> 0:16:23.840 don't want to run head to head with SmackDown. But 0:16:24.120 --> 0:16:27.320 if we are after SmackDown. A bunch of w w 0:16:27.440 --> 0:16:30.480 E fans that watch SmackDown well then switch and watch 0:16:30.600 --> 0:16:36.200 Rampage for another hour. I don't think that's happened. I mean, 0:16:36.240 --> 0:16:38.400 I don't have really any evidence one way or the other. 0:16:39.080 --> 0:16:42.000 But you know, I don't think that a lot of 0:16:42.080 --> 0:16:45.760 fans are doing that. So if that's the case, what 0:16:45.880 --> 0:16:48.640 would be better for you, dear listener? Would you rather 0:16:48.680 --> 0:16:51.480 a Rampage here at seven on Friday or at ten 0:16:51.680 --> 0:16:55.400 on Friday. We're gonna have kind of a an experiment here, 0:16:55.960 --> 0:16:59.240 and granted, it's not a fair experiment because it is 0:16:59.280 --> 0:17:03.520 a pre empture and pre emptions, you know, they can 0:17:03.560 --> 0:17:05.720 advertise it all they want, but there's always gonna be 0:17:05.720 --> 0:17:10.679 people to forget. But I mean, if it does, uh, 0:17:10.760 --> 0:17:14.520 if it does four hundred thousand viewers, you know, obviously, uh, 0:17:14.560 --> 0:17:17.240 that's probably not good. If it does the same viewership, 0:17:18.119 --> 0:17:21.040 same or better than eighteen forty nine, I would think 0:17:21.040 --> 0:17:23.840 about moving that show to seven. And for sure, if 0:17:23.840 --> 0:17:26.159 it does like eight hundred thousand viewers and like a 0:17:26.280 --> 0:17:28.880 point three in eighteen forty nine, I mean I would 0:17:28.880 --> 0:17:32.760 be thinking about moving that thing immediately. So we'll see 0:17:32.760 --> 0:17:36.399 what happens. But that's gonna be an interesting experiment on 0:17:36.760 --> 0:17:39.840 February eight. Yeah, I think you can leave it open 0:17:39.840 --> 0:17:42.360 for further testing if that's the case. You know, it's 0:17:42.359 --> 0:17:45.000 just too bad they couldn't get a deal with t 0:17:45.160 --> 0:17:47.480 NT because the NBA is so strong and it is 0:17:47.520 --> 0:17:50.080 their weekend where they couldn't have had that pregame show 0:17:50.160 --> 0:17:53.920 for the NBA actually go from seven to eight, which 0:17:54.000 --> 0:17:57.240 leads into an hour of rampage, which leads into the 0:17:57.280 --> 0:18:00.640 skills competition or whatever skills competition, the whatever the guy 0:18:00.720 --> 0:18:02.720 going on three point contest wherever the guy going on 0:18:02.760 --> 0:18:06.400 for All Star weekend. And it's just too bad because 0:18:06.440 --> 0:18:08.760 I think eight to nine who probably would have been great, 0:18:08.880 --> 0:18:11.160 especially the second half of that show with people tuned 0:18:11.200 --> 0:18:14.120 in waiting to get ready for the All Star stuff. 0:18:14.160 --> 0:18:17.359 But you know, we'll we'll see, you know. Seven o'clock 0:18:17.480 --> 0:18:22.800 is you know, I would be for it because of mold, 0:18:22.840 --> 0:18:25.760 I guess, but I'm not really sure if it's gonna 0:18:25.800 --> 0:18:29.000 be as much of a boom because it's also six 0:18:29.040 --> 0:18:33.159 o'clock now Central Time, so I I don't know. I 0:18:33.400 --> 0:18:34.880 don't know if I like that when all that much, 0:18:34.880 --> 0:18:39.680 plus it damages you in the overall Brian, because you're 0:18:39.720 --> 0:18:44.320 selling primetime advertising. I mean that's you want to be 0:18:44.359 --> 0:18:47.200 involved in that. So I would be very wary about 0:18:47.280 --> 0:18:49.760 moving out of that spot. Although if the numbers are 0:18:49.760 --> 0:18:52.919 good enough, you entertain what you entertain. Yes, so the 0:18:53.119 --> 0:18:57.040 if the numbers are good enough, then then it should 0:18:57.080 --> 0:19:00.879 be moved. I do it dramat the filter on this 0:19:01.000 --> 0:19:07.800 ring shot here, that's what it's also Dynamite Wednesday. According 0:19:07.800 --> 0:19:12.640 to a w's Tony Khan quote a top wrestler, we'll 0:19:12.640 --> 0:19:16.439 walk through the forbidden door and make their debut on 0:19:16.480 --> 0:19:20.480 Wednesday's Dynamite in the Face of the Revolution qualifying match. 0:19:21.560 --> 0:19:24.399 He tweeted with a great showing in the a W 0:19:24.520 --> 0:19:26.919 Rampage T and T title about tonight, Isaiah Cassie's earn 0:19:26.960 --> 0:19:28.600 a qualifying match for a spot in the Face of 0:19:28.600 --> 0:19:31.240 the Revolution ladder match with a T and T title 0:19:31.280 --> 0:19:36.719 shot at stake, His opponent will debut Wednesday and sign 0:19:36.960 --> 0:19:41.560 a contract with a W. I bring that up because 0:19:41.560 --> 0:19:44.119 when I I I see, I don't. I don't go 0:19:44.160 --> 0:19:45.720 on social media a lot, so I didn't see it 0:19:45.800 --> 0:19:48.399 need to tweet. I only heard that somebody who was 0:19:48.400 --> 0:19:53.639 gonna debut on Wednesday, But my immediate thought. If I 0:19:53.720 --> 0:19:55.800 read the comments, I wouldn't even have done that Granny 0:19:55.840 --> 0:20:00.919 segment last night. So I immediately thought J White, because 0:20:01.280 --> 0:20:03.320 if you guys have not been paying attention to UH 0:20:04.520 --> 0:20:07.639 to J White, I can't remember the last time he 0:20:07.640 --> 0:20:09.960 did an in ring promo, it did not mention a W. 0:20:10.840 --> 0:20:13.840 And I think that inevitable that he is going to 0:20:14.359 --> 0:20:18.080 make an appearance at some point with a W. But 0:20:18.200 --> 0:20:20.679 he is not signing a contract with a W. So 0:20:20.800 --> 0:20:23.560 this person here would not be J White. I'm not 0:20:23.600 --> 0:20:27.760 saying that J White couldn't also appear on Dynamite this Wednesday, 0:20:27.800 --> 0:20:31.640 but this person that Tony conn is talking about is 0:20:31.640 --> 0:20:34.800 is a reference to somebody who is signing a contract 0:20:34.800 --> 0:20:38.199 with a W. Obviously, the the name that has been 0:20:38.240 --> 0:20:41.919 coming up more than any other is Keith Lee, who 0:20:42.040 --> 0:20:44.520 just got married this weekend. So congratulations to him and 0:20:44.600 --> 0:20:51.919 Millyum and Keith Lee. I mean, my only question is 0:20:52.200 --> 0:20:55.800 a ladder match with Keith Lee? Is that exactly how 0:20:55.840 --> 0:20:57.840 you want to debut him. I mean, he doesn't really 0:20:57.840 --> 0:20:59.400 have to do a lot off the ladder. He can 0:20:59.440 --> 0:21:01.280 be you know, the other guy can do everything off 0:21:01.280 --> 0:21:02.880 the ladder, and he can catch him and pounce him 0:21:02.880 --> 0:21:06.560 and throw him all over the place. But um, I'm 0:21:06.560 --> 0:21:09.600 not sure that's exactly where I debut Keith Lee. But 0:21:09.640 --> 0:21:14.119 I could be proven wrong and uh and I have 0:21:14.240 --> 0:21:17.760 been before, So I would predict if I had, if 0:21:17.760 --> 0:21:20.000 I had, if I had to make a prediction Keith 0:21:20.080 --> 0:21:25.240 Lee on Wednesday, do you think brother Nero would fit 0:21:25.280 --> 0:21:27.800 that spot because it is on the ladder and because 0:21:27.840 --> 0:21:31.359 you do have the Hardy family office. Uh, maybe that's 0:21:31.400 --> 0:21:34.280 the punishment that and Roddy's got coming in, or that 0:21:34.320 --> 0:21:37.000 Matt Hardy has for Isaiah Or is that uh that 0:21:37.119 --> 0:21:41.840 too crazy? I I uh to too dicey. Right, Now, 0:21:42.040 --> 0:21:45.680 here's the thing. Here's the thing. Tony Kahn in storyline 0:21:46.200 --> 0:21:48.879 is the one who is signing this person. So if 0:21:48.920 --> 0:21:52.240 Tony Kahn in storyline had a sense of humor, then 0:21:52.320 --> 0:21:57.959 he could debut Matt Hardy's brother against Matt Hardy's protege 0:21:58.040 --> 0:22:01.960 in this match. And honestly, you know, it probably would 0:22:01.960 --> 0:22:05.199 be better if you're doing a ladder match to do 0:22:05.480 --> 0:22:08.400 Jeff Hardy as opposed to Keith Lee, I would think. 0:22:09.040 --> 0:22:13.000 But you know, I think that if Jeff Hardy comes in, 0:22:13.080 --> 0:22:17.399 he's probably aligning with Matt Hardy, So I mean you 0:22:17.440 --> 0:22:19.760 can make anything you can try. I shouldn't say that 0:22:20.200 --> 0:22:22.640 you can try to make anything makes sense and wrestling, 0:22:23.359 --> 0:22:25.320 but I I don't think I would have Jeff Hardy 0:22:25.480 --> 0:22:28.480 debut here against Isaiah Cassidy and look for Keith Lee 0:22:28.520 --> 0:22:31.680 to come in and just basically kill Isaiah and walk 0:22:31.800 --> 0:22:37.200 up there and take the you know whatever to and 0:22:37.320 --> 0:22:41.320 sign the contract. I mean then that I'm fine with that. 0:22:41.400 --> 0:22:44.359 I'm completely hold on a correction flying around. I got 0:22:44.400 --> 0:22:46.760 a correction here. I apologize. I don't even know why 0:22:46.760 --> 0:22:49.840 I didn't think about this. So the match on Wednesday 0:22:50.040 --> 0:22:53.840 is a qualifier for the ladder match, but it's not 0:22:54.160 --> 0:23:00.400 a ladder match. Keith Lee kills him Pounce Perry. Yes, 0:23:01.200 --> 0:23:04.879 all right, that was easy. Sorry everybody. I read the 0:23:04.920 --> 0:23:09.800 word ladder so many times that my brains know what 0:23:09.880 --> 0:23:14.200 a brain is. Still yours are still deeply affected by 0:23:14.840 --> 0:23:16.760 night though, and I still think I have Dad brain. 0:23:16.880 --> 0:23:19.760 I don't know if that ever goes away completely. Hangman 0:23:19.800 --> 0:23:22.960 Page Lance Archer Texas Deathmatch is on the show and 0:23:23.080 --> 0:23:27.520 appearance by m jf uh and then Inner Circle Team 0:23:27.520 --> 0:23:33.320 meeting and Tony Khan has quote a major announcement. Circle meeting. 0:23:33.760 --> 0:23:37.240 We have to figure out if that's uh in connection 0:23:37.320 --> 0:23:41.520 with the debuting wrestler or something different altogether. But yes, 0:23:41.560 --> 0:23:45.840 congratulations to Keith Lee and Mia Yim. They've been engaged 0:23:45.880 --> 0:23:49.360 since February eleven last year. It's almost full year before 0:23:49.359 --> 0:24:14.840 they got married. Back in a moment Observer live back 0:24:14.880 --> 0:24:17.560 of the show, Brian Elbert is here Observer live mix 0:24:17.600 --> 0:24:21.360 of viv also of wrestling Observer dot com.

Holy smokes the 0:24:35.840 --> 0:24:39.720 first time you said that at least smokes. Yeah, where 0:24:39.760 --> 0:24:43.240 is this here? Brian?

Hopefully you don't probably have a mute or something. 0:24:48.800 --> 0:24:51.000 Oh by the way, earlier in the show, I made 0:24:51.000 --> 0:24:54.120 the comment that you know, just because you're idiot proof 0:24:54.200 --> 0:24:56.639 doesn't mean you have to be an idiot. We have 0:24:56.720 --> 0:25:01.040
