Hegman Page has COVID nineteen will not 0:01:03.440 --> 0:01:06.959 be on Dynamite tonight. He took to social media Wednesday 0:01:07.000 --> 0:01:09.680 to announce you will not be on the show. Dynamite 0:01:09.720 --> 0:01:11.760 is tonight at eight on TBS, but I will not 0:01:11.880 --> 0:01:15.840 be there because my face is full of COVID snott.

But we still got about 0:01:30.640 --> 0:01:32.800 a month to build that up, so I think it's 0:01:32.800 --> 0:01:34.800 all right if he misses a week. Best of luck 0:01:34.840 --> 0:01:37.440 to him, and we'll go over the rest of the 0:01:37.560 --> 0:01:40.440 line up here in a while as well.

Observer Live Bring the show. Brian Alvarez 0:02:47.000 --> 0:02:51.000 here Wrestling oh Hi, Wrestling Observer Live, Mike's umber viv 0:02:51.200 --> 0:02:58.079 also Wrestling Observer dot Com. Yes, the Inspiration. They're done 0:02:58.080 --> 0:03:01.120 with wrestling for the time being. I don't know that means, 0:03:02.080 --> 0:03:04.200 because you know how it is in wrestling. People are done. 0:03:05.560 --> 0:03:09.920 They almost always come back, except in the case of myself, 0:03:09.960 --> 0:03:13.520 I'm fully retired. Inspirations. Cassie Lee Jesse McKay are stepping 0:03:13.560 --> 0:03:16.440 away from the ring statement issued Wednesday, they announced their 0:03:16.520 --> 0:03:20.079 quote in definitely stepping away from in ring action. Lee 0:03:20.120 --> 0:03:22.360 and McCabe been part of Impact Wrestling since signing with 0:03:22.400 --> 0:03:25.200 the promotion last October. I want to thank Scott Demore 0:03:25.320 --> 0:03:28.600 the entire Impact family, they said it have had such 0:03:28.639 --> 0:03:32.440 an incredible experience working with the incredible Impact staff and roster, 0:03:34.040 --> 0:03:36.240 um a bunch of other stuff here. So all I 0:03:36.280 --> 0:03:40.240 know is that like this is all legit. So they 0:03:40.320 --> 0:03:43.160 left on very very good terms, but for the time being, 0:03:43.280 --> 0:03:48.160 they're leaving wrestling, and what they're gonna do I don't know. 0:03:49.440 --> 0:03:53.840 But they had their last match this past weekend, they 0:03:53.920 --> 0:04:00.440 faced the Influence and Influence retained their titles. So yeah, 0:04:00.480 --> 0:04:02.520 I guess we'll find out what the future holds. But 0:04:03.840 --> 0:04:06.880 and who knows, you know how wrestling is. We'll be interesting. 0:04:06.960 --> 0:04:09.400 I guess is is uh, you know, contractually, I mean 0:04:09.440 --> 0:04:12.960 you can, you can leave. But if they decided to 0:04:12.960 --> 0:04:16.039 return to wrestling, presumably contractually, they would have to return 0:04:16.080 --> 0:04:18.479 to Impact Wrestling and work out the rest of that contract. 0:04:18.520 --> 0:04:21.200 So we'll see what they do if they come back 0:04:21.920 --> 0:04:23.880 and have any more to say. That's the updates, So 0:04:24.000 --> 0:04:28.320 best of luck to them. Did Lance run them off? 0:04:30.600 --> 0:04:33.120 So you came up with that? Of all that? Do 0:04:33.160 --> 0:04:39.120 you really care? What's your favorite iconics moment? Brian? So anyway, 0:04:39.160 --> 0:04:42.800 can we talk about Dynamite here tonight? Sure? We have 0:04:42.839 --> 0:04:47.080 a Carusita Serena deep in a street fight, Lance Archer 0:04:47.160 --> 0:04:51.080 faces Ward Low. We've got an OW and Hard Tournament 0:04:51.400 --> 0:04:54.560 qualifier with Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler with see Him 0:04:54.600 --> 0:04:58.640 Punk doing commentary. Lee Him Punk was not exposed to 0:04:58.839 --> 0:05:01.840 COVID when he had that faced face with Hangman page 0:05:02.880 --> 0:05:05.400 last week. I have heard nothing about that. We have 0:05:05.480 --> 0:05:09.479 got Sammy Gavars Scorpio Sky in a Ladder Match, and 0:05:09.600 --> 0:05:12.040 we have Adam Cole, Kylo Riley, Bobby Fish, Matt and 0:05:12.160 --> 0:05:16.800 Nick Jackson against Griff Garrison, Brian Pillman Jr. Dante Martin, 0:05:16.920 --> 0:05:22.240 Lee Johnson, and Brock Anderson. So that is the lineup 0:05:22.279 --> 0:05:26.160 for the show tonight. Probably ain't gonna do all that 0:05:26.279 --> 0:05:31.039 well since we got the NBA which brutalized Raw on 0:05:31.120 --> 0:05:34.080 Monday Night again. Row did a one point six one 0:05:34.120 --> 0:05:37.440 million viewership one zero point four four in the eighteen 0:05:37.480 --> 0:05:42.560 to forty nine demo the Brooklyn Nets Boston Celtics game 0:05:42.640 --> 0:05:44.839 three point eight three million viewers, and a one point 0:05:44.960 --> 0:05:49.920 three three eighteen to forty nine Utah Jazz and Dallas Mavericks. 0:05:49.920 --> 0:05:52.279 We put one nine million and one point one seven 0:05:53.040 --> 0:05:57.520 at eighteen to forty nine. So these these basketball games, 0:05:57.960 --> 0:06:04.000 they just they hill, they kill everything. It was the 0:06:04.040 --> 0:06:07.280 normal first to third hour drop one point seven zero million, 0:06:07.279 --> 0:06:09.320 first hour, one point six seven million, second hour, big 0:06:09.360 --> 0:06:11.600 drop one point four seven million, third hour older than 0:06:11.680 --> 0:06:13.600 is usual drop. And hey, they were out of the 0:06:13.680 --> 0:06:16.159 one point threes in that third hour this week, so 0:06:16.200 --> 0:06:21.000 I guess that's a positive. But that's the it's run numbers. 0:06:21.000 --> 0:06:27.280 There no story I can keep going Mike, then we've 0:06:27.279 --> 0:06:29.599 got what would you like me to add to that? 0:06:29.760 --> 0:06:33.039 It was very fun watching Brooklyn failed miserably instead of 0:06:33.040 --> 0:06:37.679 watching Well, sure that's something now, isn't it. I don't 0:06:37.720 --> 0:06:41.680 want you to say anything. I'm just expecting you're h 0:06:43.279 --> 0:06:45.400 I got a lot of you. Hey, listen, you guys 0:06:45.480 --> 0:06:47.280 want to talk about NFC two point over the rest 0:06:47.279 --> 0:06:51.080 of the show, I can, so you can either jump 0:06:51.120 --> 0:06:56.080 into or I'll just continue on here. Not even a threat. 0:06:56.120 --> 0:06:57.600 I got a lot I could say about this show. 0:06:57.839 --> 0:06:59.599 I don't know why everyone hates an x T two 0:06:59.600 --> 0:07:02.880 points so much. I mean, it's a bad show, but 0:07:03.240 --> 0:07:06.080 I mean, god, do you guys not lived through like 0:07:06.320 --> 0:07:11.760 WCW thunder and and Nitro Brian was twenty five years ago. 0:07:11.960 --> 0:07:15.760 It was My point is like, god, the show's you know. 0:07:16.960 --> 0:07:19.920 I mean, it's not a great show, and there was 0:07:20.000 --> 0:07:22.480 some good matches on the show. Hey, Roxy is gonna 0:07:22.480 --> 0:07:24.520 be a star no matter what happens. I don't know 0:07:24.560 --> 0:07:27.080 if I'd go that far, but she's very good, like 0:07:27.320 --> 0:07:30.680 she worked rings around Mandy Rose. God bless Mandy Rose. 0:07:30.720 --> 0:07:34.160 But I mean we'll get into that later. I'm trying 0:07:34.160 --> 0:07:36.080 to avoid it. You guys, trying to goad me into it. 0:07:37.400 --> 0:07:39.880 And you know, here's another thing, by the way, I'm 0:07:39.880 --> 0:07:43.520 sure this person's joking. Me goes, I'd rather watch prime Thunder. Bro, 0:07:43.680 --> 0:07:46.920 you guys don't get it. Everybody says stuff like that 0:07:47.000 --> 0:07:51.480 until you actually go back and watch Thunder. You watch 0:07:51.720 --> 0:07:55.080 you watch three episodes of Thunder, and you're gonna be begging, 0:07:55.720 --> 0:07:58.400 begging to watch n x T two point oh again, 0:07:58.600 --> 0:08:04.680 remember the Natural Board thriller. Yeah, all of this, Oh 0:08:04.680 --> 0:08:07.080 how easily. Actually it's not really I mean, it was 0:08:07.120 --> 0:08:10.360 twenty five years ago or whatever. But bro, those sunders, 0:08:11.520 --> 0:08:15.400 I'm I'm telling you tore you asunder? Is that those 0:08:15.400 --> 0:08:18.800 thunders did tear me asunder. So let's not have you 0:08:18.800 --> 0:08:21.920 know it's it's called rose colored glasses. You're looking at 0:08:21.920 --> 0:08:26.000 the past through rose colored glasses. I I watched it 0:08:26.120 --> 0:08:29.400 with with no glasses. I watched it actually as it was, 0:08:29.880 --> 0:08:33.640 and it was absolutely horrible. And uh, it's funny. It's 0:08:33.679 --> 0:08:36.000 like people remember, you know, every now and then there 0:08:36.080 --> 0:08:39.560 was something funny like, you know, uh, Sid versus the 0:08:39.600 --> 0:08:42.440 Harris brothers, and one of the Harris brothers said his 0:08:42.480 --> 0:08:44.520 head almost fell off, and then he adds that was 0:08:44.559 --> 0:08:47.720 sad and stuff like that. It was funny, but bro, 0:08:47.880 --> 0:08:50.160 you guys don't remember there was a funny thing that 0:08:50.160 --> 0:08:53.720 would happen every now and then on the show. The 0:08:53.760 --> 0:08:57.040 rest of the time, it absolutely sucked. It was not 0:08:57.200 --> 0:08:59.520 so bad. It was good. It was not so bad. 0:08:59.520 --> 0:09:02.320 It was funny me. Every now and then a funny 0:09:02.320 --> 0:09:05.720 thing happened. But that show was one hundred and four 0:09:05.800 --> 0:09:09.080 hours of thunder over the course of a year, and 0:09:09.120 --> 0:09:17.559 it wasn't all funny. It was outright bad. So anyway, uh, 0:09:17.840 --> 0:09:21.120 stadium shows. An increased amount of stadium shows look to 0:09:21.160 --> 0:09:24.920 be the norm for w E going forward, said a 0:09:24.960 --> 0:09:28.920 company record, with eight stadium shows this year. Our own ANDREWS. 0:09:29.000 --> 0:09:33.040 Zerrian reports that running more stadium events is an approach 0:09:33.080 --> 0:09:38.439 that w w E plans to continue in three so 0:09:39.720 --> 0:09:43.240 at eight events, goal is to make this the new norm. 0:09:43.280 --> 0:09:45.840 It's a nick con approach when it comes to premium 0:09:45.960 --> 0:09:49.840 live events. Scalability of stadium is very beneficial when it 0:09:49.840 --> 0:09:52.800 comes to having a live audience over fifteen thousand even 0:09:52.800 --> 0:09:54.800 doesn't have to be a sell out of fifty thousand, 0:09:55.200 --> 0:09:56.959 but now you have room to do twenty to thirty 0:09:57.000 --> 0:10:00.160 five thousand shows more often, leading to higher reven doing 0:10:00.200 --> 0:10:02.240 a higher level of excitement for the event. Well, that's 0:10:02.240 --> 0:10:06.800 certainly the idea now, isn't it. But can you put 0:10:06.960 --> 0:10:10.920 thirty five thousand people regularly into a stadium? I guess 0:10:11.000 --> 0:10:15.040 we shall find out obviously if you're doing a Royal 0:10:15.160 --> 0:10:20.800 Rumble or a WrestleMania or a Summer Slam. But are 0:10:20.840 --> 0:10:22.760 you gonna put thirty five thousand people in the building 0:10:22.800 --> 0:10:25.240 for a hell and to sell pay per view? Yes, 0:10:25.360 --> 0:10:29.280 we shall. We shall find out how loyal these traveling 0:10:29.400 --> 0:10:34.480 fans are for these shows. Money in the bank at 0:10:34.520 --> 0:10:38.040 Allegiance Stadium, that's the most interesting one for me. You know, 0:10:38.120 --> 0:10:41.240 Summer Slam, the show that's going to take place in Wales. 0:10:41.320 --> 0:10:43.160 You know, I don't think they're gonna be any problem there, 0:10:43.200 --> 0:10:46.680 but it's amazing money in the bank at Allegiance Stadium. 0:10:46.720 --> 0:10:49.400 You know. It's just like you know, that's gonna be 0:10:49.440 --> 0:10:51.640 a probably a great test, you know, without having a 0:10:51.679 --> 0:10:55.160 Wrestlemanian name or Survivor series or something like that attached 0:10:55.200 --> 0:10:57.000 to it be interesting to see what they actually end 0:10:57.080 --> 0:11:00.559 up with. And this person asked about won't they lie? Well, 0:11:00.559 --> 0:11:02.560 of course you're gonna lie about the attendance, But the 0:11:02.640 --> 0:11:05.040 fact is you're still gonna put way more people in 0:11:05.080 --> 0:11:08.040 then you would running a building that seats fifteen thousand. 0:11:08.360 --> 0:11:11.840 That's the idea here, and uh, you know, it's it's 0:11:11.960 --> 0:11:15.160 it will be an experiment. It's all about it's all 0:11:15.200 --> 0:11:19.560 about whether this works out in terms of revenue. Do 0:11:19.600 --> 0:11:22.200 you have to lower ticket prices to sell thirty five 0:11:22.240 --> 0:11:25.840 thousand tickets? Are you gonna sell thirty five thousand tickets? 0:11:26.200 --> 0:11:29.320 Is it is it worthwhile to rent the building? And 0:11:29.320 --> 0:11:32.160 then you do the math. Obviously I'm not a math guy. 0:11:32.200 --> 0:11:35.000 But if it works, then you continue running its stadiums. 0:11:35.480 --> 0:11:39.280 And uh, I mean the big thing is, here's the 0:11:39.280 --> 0:11:42.840 thing with w w E everybody. The booking sucks and 0:11:42.880 --> 0:11:45.280 they create they can't create stars. Okay, they have a 0:11:45.360 --> 0:11:48.720 very hard time doing that. If the booking were better, 0:11:49.640 --> 0:11:54.400 they would easily, I believe, sell lots of tickets to 0:11:54.480 --> 0:11:59.199 stadium shows for their big events. So, you know, is 0:11:59.400 --> 0:12:03.800 the booking the star making ability enough to you know, 0:12:03.920 --> 0:12:07.320 sell thirty five thousand tickets to uh ten fifteen stadium 0:12:07.320 --> 0:12:11.680 events every year. We're gonna find out. But they certainly could. 0:12:12.520 --> 0:12:15.439 I'm not saying they can't. They could a lot of 0:12:15.520 --> 0:12:18.200 things they could do back in a moment was they 0:12:18.200 --> 0:12:26.719 were liveday couple money to day cop Monday days that 0:12:26.840 --> 0:12:30.560 see see pretty mentally because they see it strung trung 0:12:30.760 --> 0:12:34.679 ring and I think it's me that can get It's 0:12:34.720 --> 0:12:43.520 something that I won't try whatever, jail again the show. 0:12:43.559 --> 0:12:47.040 Brain Elba is here Wrestling Observer Live. Mike sumber Viv 0:12:47.320 --> 0:12:52.280 also of Wrestling Observer dot com. Well, let's talk about 0:12:52.320 --> 0:12:57.400 it x T Y. Another thing with this show is 0:12:59.480 --> 0:13:04.199 the the good workers have good matches and the non 0:13:04.360 --> 0:13:08.599 wrestlers they practice all week and then like on a 0:13:08.679 --> 0:13:11.360 good night, it's all right on a bad night and 0:13:11.440 --> 0:13:14.599 an't know right and uh you know, I mean it 0:13:14.640 --> 0:13:17.679 would be fine. But like if you've been following this 0:13:17.840 --> 0:13:22.559 whole n I L recruitment deal, I mean the future 0:13:22.600 --> 0:13:25.679 of the show is more matches like Nikita Lyons and 0:13:25.800 --> 0:13:31.880 lash Legend. Do you guys watch this match? It wasn't bad, Okay, 0:13:33.040 --> 0:13:36.920 it certainly was not good, but what it was was 0:13:37.440 --> 0:13:40.280 too very very green. And I will call them non 0:13:40.360 --> 0:13:44.760 wrestlers because they're not learning to wrestle there, they're learning 0:13:44.800 --> 0:13:50.280 to choreograph performances. They are sports entertainers through through. They 0:13:50.360 --> 0:13:52.720 practice the match for a long time and then they 0:13:52.800 --> 0:13:57.520 get in there live and then they try and there 0:13:57.600 --> 0:14:00.640 was a spot in this match was so funny where 0:14:00.679 --> 0:14:02.640 they both start hitting the ropes and they both forgot 0:14:02.679 --> 0:14:06.080 what they're supposed to do, so literally they're criss crossing 0:14:06.480 --> 0:14:08.640 like the Ultimate Warrior and Hulk Hogan, but go in 0:14:08.679 --> 0:14:11.720 the same direction, and they're yelling at each other as 0:14:11.760 --> 0:14:13.800 they crossed to try to tell each other what they're 0:14:13.800 --> 0:14:17.520 supposed to be doing. I was dying, and uh, I 0:14:17.640 --> 0:14:19.280 just watched a show and I thought, and I know 0:14:19.400 --> 0:14:25.520 that USA network, Uh, I'm sure they want the show live, right, 0:14:26.600 --> 0:14:30.680 but this show absolutely should not be live. This is 0:14:30.760 --> 0:14:35.800 a developmental show with green non wrestlers who have to 0:14:35.880 --> 0:14:38.480 practice their matches and then go out there and like 0:14:38.680 --> 0:14:42.640 do their best. This absolutely positively needs to be a 0:14:42.760 --> 0:14:45.200 tape show if it's gonna be on national television. But 0:14:45.400 --> 0:14:48.440 it's live, and so we get funny moments like this. 0:14:49.080 --> 0:14:51.480 So you know, they did the match Nikita Lions one 0:14:51.600 --> 0:14:54.720 with a big kick, and the announcers just, you know, 0:14:54.880 --> 0:14:58.920 put over that Twitter's exploding every time Nikita Lions on TV, 0:14:59.320 --> 0:15:04.120 and I mean it's just so just so whatever it is. 0:15:04.480 --> 0:15:07.200 I mean, that's what this show is. And then we 0:15:07.320 --> 0:15:12.960 had Tony D'Angelo space supposed to face Zion Quinn, who 0:15:13.560 --> 0:15:16.360 who I guess was out of action due to injury, 0:15:17.000 --> 0:15:19.400 and so he gets set up for a match with 0:15:19.720 --> 0:15:24.560 Von Wagner, which at least actually even then, I don't 0:15:24.560 --> 0:15:26.240 know who was supposed to be the baby face. I 0:15:26.280 --> 0:15:29.320 guess nobody. I don't know what's going on. Then we 0:15:29.440 --> 0:15:32.640 had Roderick Strong is upset that the Creed Brothers keep failing, 0:15:33.360 --> 0:15:36.960 and so he has brought the Viking Raiders from the 0:15:37.040 --> 0:15:39.800 main roster. They only facing the Creed Brothers next week, 0:15:39.920 --> 0:15:43.400 which actually could be a fun match. We had Von 0:15:43.760 --> 0:15:47.080 Wagner and Tony D'Angelo and this match was all right, 0:15:47.640 --> 0:15:50.120 I mean, Tony d' angelo has had I mean, at 0:15:50.160 --> 0:15:52.840 this point is probably, I swear to God, like twelve matches, 0:15:53.600 --> 0:15:56.320 and for a guy with twelve matches, he's doing really good. 0:15:56.480 --> 0:15:59.400 So you know, this was not like you're not getting 0:15:59.440 --> 0:16:02.360 a five star match or anything close. But it was fine. 0:16:02.880 --> 0:16:07.920 And then uh, you know, uh, Legato dell Phantasma showed 0:16:08.000 --> 0:16:12.440 up and there was a distraction. Escobar took out d'angelo's 0:16:12.480 --> 0:16:16.320 knee with a Crowbar, D'Angelo sells and cells. He finally 0:16:16.440 --> 0:16:18.520 jumps in the ring to break up the count. He 0:16:18.640 --> 0:16:20.880 gets kicked and pinned by von Wagner. I mean the 0:16:20.920 --> 0:16:24.000 way this was worked, it was like Tony D'Angelo supposed 0:16:24.000 --> 0:16:26.560 to be a baby face, but like later in the show, 0:16:27.160 --> 0:16:31.880 you know Legatto del Phantasma, we're baby faces, but I 0:16:31.920 --> 0:16:34.520 think they're all heels. I am so baffled watching this show. 0:16:35.560 --> 0:16:39.680 We had a toxic attraction segment with rock the former 0:16:39.800 --> 0:16:41.960 rock Sy. She'll always be the former Rocksy to me. 0:16:42.480 --> 0:16:44.960 This set up a match with Mandy Rose tonight. I thought, 0:16:45.000 --> 0:16:47.840 for sure they do Gigi Dolan next because she beat 0:16:47.920 --> 0:16:51.120 j C. Jane last week. But no, it's just this week. 0:16:51.200 --> 0:16:56.320 It's gonna be Uh, it's gonna be Mandy Rose fallon Henley. Uh. 0:16:56.400 --> 0:17:01.400 They're gonna be doing a a match later, a six 0:17:01.520 --> 0:17:06.680 person with Legato and that one woman that we just 0:17:06.840 --> 0:17:10.240 cannot identify and they never identify her, They never give 0:17:10.320 --> 0:17:15.480 us her name. She walked by and Brooks Jensen he's 0:17:15.520 --> 0:17:19.640 all distracted, you know, because he's got some problems down there, 0:17:20.240 --> 0:17:23.520 and uh he was yelled at for that. We had 0:17:23.960 --> 0:17:28.159 Grayson Waller, so they got this guy Nathan Fraser from 0:17:28.160 --> 0:17:31.320 an X to UK. He's supposed to debut and Grayson 0:17:31.359 --> 0:17:33.560 Waller comes out and he interrupts the debut. He starts 0:17:33.600 --> 0:17:38.480 cutting this promo. He starts burying Nathan Frasier for having 0:17:38.680 --> 0:17:41.720 a horrible haircut. And you know, here's the thing everybody, 0:17:42.760 --> 0:17:45.879 when you're a baby face and the heels telling you 0:17:45.960 --> 0:17:51.080 that your haircut sucks, and with all due respect, your 0:17:51.160 --> 0:17:55.000 haircut sucks, it might be time to get a new haircut. 0:17:55.840 --> 0:18:01.840 So then for some reason, uh, Andre ch Ason Body Hayward, 0:18:01.920 --> 0:18:03.320 which is a great name, it's one of the rare 0:18:03.400 --> 0:18:05.680 great names in this company. They're in the crowd and 0:18:05.720 --> 0:18:09.399 then they get in the ring and they distract Grayson 0:18:10.119 --> 0:18:13.960 and then you know, Nathan Frasier jumps off the top 0:18:14.000 --> 0:18:15.760 of the drop kick and then does a bunch of spots. 0:18:16.520 --> 0:18:21.880 So I guess, I guess Chase University or baby Faces. 0:18:23.160 --> 0:18:26.879 I don't know why. And and Nathan Fraser is now 0:18:26.920 --> 0:18:29.960 aligned with them, and he's a you know what this 0:18:30.200 --> 0:18:33.359 is For those of you that watched before before y'all 0:18:33.400 --> 0:18:36.840 gave up what they're doing with Nathan Fraser, it is 0:18:37.040 --> 0:18:43.240 exactly what they did with Kurt Stallion exactly. Oh no, 0:18:43.680 --> 0:18:48.760 except Nathan Fraser has a much worse haircut. He hasn't 0:18:48.800 --> 0:18:52.400 had anywhere near as cool of a promo as the Stallion. 0:18:52.480 --> 0:18:54.680 Did you remember that? Oh? I remember? Remember those acting 0:18:54.800 --> 0:18:56.480 chops he had when he was laid out? Don't They 0:18:56.600 --> 0:18:58.840 don't remember any of this, guys. Guys remember, And like 0:18:59.320 --> 0:19:02.919 it's about to thousand one or so, Seaun Michael's had 0:19:02.960 --> 0:19:05.600 been gone for a while, and then there's like one 0:19:05.680 --> 0:19:07.359 show where he came back and he decided he was 0:19:07.359 --> 0:19:10.879 gonna cut his hair to hear and straight all the 0:19:10.920 --> 0:19:16.720 way around page. Boy. God, well that's what this Nathan 0:19:16.760 --> 0:19:19.359 Fraser has done. I don't know what he was thinking 0:19:19.400 --> 0:19:22.920 in By the way, the former Ben Carter for everybody 0:19:22.960 --> 0:19:25.040 out there who does not watch that next day, yeah, Ben, 0:19:25.720 --> 0:19:30.159 get a Ben Carter haircut, whatever that would be. And 0:19:30.200 --> 0:19:32.960 then we had a ton of Chance and Caden Carter 0:19:33.160 --> 0:19:40.280 versus Ulyssa Leon and Valentina Ferraz and uh, what's so funny? Well, 0:19:40.320 --> 0:19:44.080 the Road Warriors neon whatever the hell it was shoulder 0:19:44.160 --> 0:19:45.879 pads that they had on that they came out with. 0:19:46.480 --> 0:19:48.560 So I don't know, I cannot figure out this. You 0:19:48.680 --> 0:19:52.080 listen to Leone and Valentina farraz thing here, because first off, 0:19:52.080 --> 0:19:54.399 their gimmick is that they're they're they just you know, 0:19:55.480 --> 0:19:58.159 they do a lot of shaking. They do a lot 0:19:58.200 --> 0:20:01.960 of shaking, okay, and in one of them, I think 0:20:01.960 --> 0:20:09.600 it's Ulyssa Leone. Okay, this just I mean here, it's 0:20:09.680 --> 0:20:14.160 just weird. The way she moves in the ring. It's 0:20:14.240 --> 0:20:18.040 like it's totally wrong. Okay, everything she does when she 0:20:18.160 --> 0:20:22.200 moves looks totally wrong, but her stuff looks good and 0:20:22.400 --> 0:20:24.720 she can actually kind of work. Well what do you 0:20:24.840 --> 0:20:27.200 mean by that for the layman out there who has 0:20:27.280 --> 0:20:28.800 never been in the ring. But she just like you know, 0:20:29.080 --> 0:20:32.680 stands up too tall and everything looks totally unnatural and awkward, 0:20:33.320 --> 0:20:35.720 but she still manages to pull everything off. I can't 0:20:35.720 --> 0:20:38.159 even explain it. It's just like it's so weird. But 0:20:38.240 --> 0:20:40.680 I was watching the match, and at the beginning, it's 0:20:40.720 --> 0:20:43.320 like all they're doing is just shaking their ass and 0:20:43.960 --> 0:20:47.680 moving weird, and I'm just watching the going what But 0:20:47.800 --> 0:20:50.439 then like as a match kept getting by the end 0:20:50.800 --> 0:20:54.240 it was actually a good match. So I don't know, 0:20:54.760 --> 0:20:58.960 it's just this it leaves me with I just I 0:20:59.080 --> 0:21:02.040 have no words except somehow they had a really good match. 0:21:02.280 --> 0:21:03.880 I don't know about really good, but it was good. 0:21:04.760 --> 0:21:10.119 And uh yeah, that was that Legato del Fantasma. So 0:21:10.560 --> 0:21:14.960 uh Old J Old b J gets beat up in 0:21:15.000 --> 0:21:19.520 the back and uh the baby Faces presume it's Legato 0:21:19.560 --> 0:21:22.960 del Fantasma, but we later find out that it was 0:21:23.040 --> 0:21:27.679 actually von Wagner who was sent to beat him up 0:21:28.000 --> 0:21:31.600 because he'd been rubber necking on the woman who they 0:21:31.640 --> 0:21:34.879 don't identify. That's what happened. So it ended up being 0:21:34.960 --> 0:21:37.440 two on three. And this was also a good match 0:21:37.480 --> 0:21:41.080 because you got Legato del Fantasma in there, and they're 0:21:41.200 --> 0:21:45.080 they're very, very good and fallon Henley, I mean, she's 0:21:45.359 --> 0:21:48.960 she's not bad. And Josh Briggs is you know, he's 0:21:49.040 --> 0:21:51.760 every big man they've ever had on this show. I 0:21:51.800 --> 0:21:54.560 mean you can rattle off every big man tag team 0:21:54.600 --> 0:21:57.679 partner they've had from you know, I've already forgotten all 0:21:57.680 --> 0:22:01.000 of their names. But Tucker, you know all these guys, 0:22:01.080 --> 0:22:04.000 he's he's exactly like all of them. But he's he's fine, 0:22:04.040 --> 0:22:07.680 He's perfectly serviceable. And this match was good, and of 0:22:07.800 --> 0:22:10.480 course they got beaten because it was it was three 0:22:10.560 --> 0:22:12.920 on two, but you know that match is totally fine. 0:22:13.720 --> 0:22:17.479 Solo Sico and Trick Williams. I mean, it wasn't very good. 0:22:17.560 --> 0:22:20.920 Trick Williams very very green. And the funniest thing about 0:22:20.920 --> 0:22:24.160 this match is they have Cameron Grimes on commentary. Cameron 0:22:24.200 --> 0:22:27.080 Grimes a great promo. I have no idea what was 0:22:27.119 --> 0:22:30.600 going on in commentary. His commentary was not good at all. 0:22:31.240 --> 0:22:33.119 And the weirdest thing was I don't even know if 0:22:33.119 --> 0:22:36.280 he was doing it on purpose or or what, but 0:22:36.440 --> 0:22:40.160 like he had all of these cliches and he would 0:22:40.200 --> 0:22:42.960 begin the cliche, but the end of the cliche he'd 0:22:43.040 --> 0:22:46.000 get it wrong. It was just like one after another. 0:22:46.400 --> 0:22:48.119 I listened to this whole thing. I was like, what 0:22:48.520 --> 0:22:51.239 is happening here? And then he got in the ring 0:22:51.320 --> 0:22:55.040 afterwards and Socoa tried to super kick Hayes. He ducked 0:22:55.080 --> 0:22:58.040 and so he hit Grimes and uh, they're doing a 0:22:58.160 --> 0:23:01.399 three way next week. We had a great segment with 0:23:01.720 --> 0:23:04.520 Nervous Malik Blade and Enterest and no Fai trying to 0:23:04.520 --> 0:23:06.359 give him a pep talk. These two guys are great, 0:23:07.400 --> 0:23:09.760 but they got killed by the Viking Raiders. That was 0:23:10.000 --> 0:23:12.159 That was a fun little match there. We had a 0:23:12.240 --> 0:23:15.360 vignette with Wes Lee on the beach. He's he's all 0:23:15.440 --> 0:23:17.720 sad about what happened, but he can't tell you what happened, 0:23:17.840 --> 0:23:20.720 or mentioned his partner's name or tell you anything. So 0:23:20.960 --> 0:23:23.760 given he could give you no information, it was a 0:23:23.800 --> 0:23:27.240 pretty good promo. And then we had Mandy Rose and 0:23:27.560 --> 0:23:30.640 Dad went to the liquor store, never came home. That's 0:23:30.680 --> 0:23:33.720 what happened here. I guess Mandy Rose and Roxy was 0:23:33.800 --> 0:23:37.239 the main event, and uh it was. It was all right. 0:23:37.800 --> 0:23:41.320 You know Roxanne Perez, she's in the ring at this point. 0:23:41.840 --> 0:23:44.960 I mean, she was carrying this match with Mandy. I 0:23:45.040 --> 0:23:46.840 don't know what's going on with Mandy. I don't like 0:23:46.880 --> 0:23:49.800 to say bad things about people, but her promos and 0:23:49.960 --> 0:23:52.960 her work like this is where she was years ago. 0:23:53.320 --> 0:23:56.399 There's been no improvement over all of these years. I 0:23:56.400 --> 0:23:59.200 don't know if she doesn't care or what. But she won. 0:23:59.320 --> 0:24:01.440 So they beat U sand which I couldn't even believe. 0:24:02.359 --> 0:24:04.679 And after those just leveled out in her in their system. 0:24:04.920 --> 0:24:15.520 After the break, we'll talk more Observer Live. Glad Is 0:24:15.600 --> 0:24:17.719 yelled the praise for my n x T reporting here, 0:24:17.760 --> 0:24:21.040 so I'll continue on. By the way throughout the show, 0:24:21.119 --> 0:24:23.399 They've got video package for all of these women that 0:24:23.480 --> 0:24:26.159 will be in the new the breakout tournaments coming up. 0:24:27.280 --> 0:24:34.560
