0:00:41.560 --> 0:00:44.479

0:00:46.080 --> 0:00:52.879
<v Speaker 1>he ever returns. Six man titles vacated, which tells me

0:00:52.960 --> 0:00:55.960
<v Speaker 1>there is a feeling that whatever is going on maybe

0:00:55.960 --> 0:01:00.240
<v Speaker 1>going on for a while. Investigations, potential legal issues. So

0:01:00.280 --> 0:01:04.039

0:01:04.240 --> 0:01:07.119

0:01:07.160 --> 0:01:11.880

0:01:32.160 --> 0:01:35.360
<v Speaker 1>And the Raw show Monday. We've got the ratings in

0:01:36.319 --> 0:01:40.440
<v Speaker 1>and I was I mean, I was not like, you know,

0:01:40.520 --> 0:01:45.120
<v Speaker 1>super blown away excited by that Raw show, but um

0:01:45.319 --> 0:01:49.320
<v Speaker 1>did good did a good number and uh like a

0:01:49.360 --> 0:01:51.760
<v Speaker 1>shocking we could number. Actually it was like the show

0:01:51.880 --> 0:01:55.960
<v Speaker 1>was bad. But these Triple eight shows, I mean, they're

0:01:55.960 --> 0:01:59.000
<v Speaker 1>not bad and they're not stupid, but it's not like

0:01:59.040 --> 0:02:02.040
<v Speaker 1>they're super excited eating blow away shows every week. They're

0:02:02.560 --> 0:02:06.800
<v Speaker 1>simple shows. We're building to the pay per views, good matches, etcetera, etcetera.

0:02:07.360 --> 0:02:10.519
<v Speaker 1>And this was a simple show. I mean, there's some

0:02:10.560 --> 0:02:13.920
<v Speaker 1>good wrestling, but it wasn't like, hey, this is happening,

0:02:13.919 --> 0:02:16.040
<v Speaker 1>this big angl blah blah blah. Still did a very

0:02:16.040 --> 0:02:20.639
<v Speaker 1>good number. So people are watching, and uh, who would

0:02:20.639 --> 0:02:25.840
<v Speaker 1>have thought acceptable pro wrestling show often good doing better?

0:02:26.240 --> 0:02:29.880
<v Speaker 1>Anyway back in a moment, Talk a Story Observer live

0:02:43.240 --> 0:02:46.280
<v Speaker 1>backing the show. Bran Elvera is here Wrestling Observer Live.

0:02:52.480 --> 0:02:55.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna tell y'all the story, everybody, the ballot of

0:02:55.880 --> 0:03:00.840
<v Speaker 1>the thug Bucks. You're fun no box? Yeah yeah, they

0:03:01.160 --> 0:03:04.960
<v Speaker 1>they spammed the door with super kicks and knock that

0:03:05.000 --> 0:03:07.520
<v Speaker 1>thing off the hinges and then Brandon Cutler spraying it

0:03:07.560 --> 0:03:10.840
<v Speaker 1>with a cold spray. Listen to everybody. I didn't even

0:03:10.840 --> 0:03:12.600
<v Speaker 1>really want to talk about this. I thought about it.

0:03:12.600 --> 0:03:14.360
<v Speaker 1>I was like, should I really even address this, because

0:03:14.360 --> 0:03:17.240
<v Speaker 1>if I'm let me get to it, let me get

0:03:17.280 --> 0:03:18.840
<v Speaker 1>to it, all right. I was like, should I even

0:03:18.880 --> 0:03:20.800
<v Speaker 1>address this because I may do. All these nerds are

0:03:20.800 --> 0:03:27.280
<v Speaker 1>gonna go, oh, he's chosen sides. Listen, some of you've

0:03:27.280 --> 0:03:31.600
<v Speaker 1>already chosen sides. So like, if you've already chosen your side, like,

0:03:31.680 --> 0:03:33.720
<v Speaker 1>just go listen to another podcast, because I know there's

0:03:33.720 --> 0:03:35.920
<v Speaker 1>a podcast out there that will tell you whatever your

0:03:35.960 --> 0:03:39.120
<v Speaker 1>side is. Okay, I'm just trying to tell you the facts,

0:03:39.200 --> 0:03:43.960
<v Speaker 1>all right. So yesterday and I don't even know where

0:03:44.200 --> 0:03:47.480
<v Speaker 1>this came from, but I got an idea. The story

0:03:47.600 --> 0:03:58.000
<v Speaker 1>suddenly came out. The young Bucks kicked down that door. Okay, Now,

0:04:00.040 --> 0:04:02.880
<v Speaker 1>I mean listen, I wasn't I wasn't there for the fight. Okay,

0:04:02.960 --> 0:04:05.280
<v Speaker 1>I wasn't there, but you know what, I you know

0:04:05.280 --> 0:04:07.960
<v Speaker 1>where I was. I was like, I don't even know

0:04:08.000 --> 0:04:10.160
<v Speaker 1>how far away I was from the locker room, but

0:04:10.240 --> 0:04:13.160
<v Speaker 1>it wasn't that far. I was in the building in

0:04:13.200 --> 0:04:19.320
<v Speaker 1>the bowels of the now arena, the catacombs, and I'll

0:04:19.320 --> 0:04:22.359
<v Speaker 1>just start, I'll just you know, this is not the

0:04:22.400 --> 0:04:25.039
<v Speaker 1>Old West. And there were like two wooden swinging doors

0:04:25.640 --> 0:04:28.400
<v Speaker 1>or some plywood door or something like that. Bro, these

0:04:28.440 --> 0:04:34.080
<v Speaker 1>were big, thick metal doors. Okay, you ain't going and

0:04:34.160 --> 0:04:38.920
<v Speaker 1>kicking that door down now, even if you go, well,

0:04:38.960 --> 0:04:42.479
<v Speaker 1>you know it's two guys, you know that double super

0:04:42.560 --> 0:04:44.400
<v Speaker 1>kick and a v trigger, they might have taken that

0:04:44.440 --> 0:04:52.960
<v Speaker 1>door down. Listen, where did this story come from? Sunday night? Okay,

0:04:53.040 --> 0:05:00.000
<v Speaker 1>Sunday night, I heard, uh, what happened? Various stories from

0:05:00.120 --> 0:05:03.960
<v Speaker 1>people that were affiliated with both sides, however you want

0:05:03.960 --> 0:05:06.240
<v Speaker 1>to term it. People that were sympathetic to punk and

0:05:06.279 --> 0:05:09.560
<v Speaker 1>people that were sympathetic to the Box. Okay, I heard

0:05:10.080 --> 0:05:13.920
<v Speaker 1>the I heard versions from both sides. I heard versions

0:05:14.000 --> 0:05:19.840
<v Speaker 1>from both sides. Monday. I heard versions from both sides Tuesday. Okay.

0:05:19.920 --> 0:05:22.920
<v Speaker 1>Some of the versions were a little bit different. Okay,

0:05:22.960 --> 0:05:28.279
<v Speaker 1>but certain things were not disputed by either side. Nobody

0:05:28.400 --> 0:05:32.839
<v Speaker 1>Sunday night disputed. Let see him punk through the first punch.

0:05:33.520 --> 0:05:37.440
<v Speaker 1>It was disputed as to why. And what I heard

0:05:38.000 --> 0:05:43.440
<v Speaker 1>Sunday and what I heard Monday and what I heard

0:05:43.560 --> 0:05:49.520
<v Speaker 1>Tuesday from the punk side was the Bucks entered the

0:05:49.600 --> 0:06:01.120
<v Speaker 1>room aggressively. Okay, But Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, nobody, nobody from

0:06:01.200 --> 0:06:05.599
<v Speaker 1>either side said the young Bucks kicked the door down.

0:06:06.160 --> 0:06:12.520
<v Speaker 1>Nobody then Wednesday, they've kicked the door down. Listen, there

0:06:12.560 --> 0:06:16.280
<v Speaker 1>ain't much funny about the story, but I laughed at

0:06:16.320 --> 0:06:20.800
<v Speaker 1>the story of the young Bucks kicking down this five

0:06:20.880 --> 0:06:24.800
<v Speaker 1>inch steel door. I mean, bro, come on, if you

0:06:24.800 --> 0:06:29.320
<v Speaker 1>have chosen your side. If you have chosen your side, fine, okay.

0:06:29.360 --> 0:06:32.599
<v Speaker 1>If you are sympathetic to punk, you know there is

0:06:32.640 --> 0:06:34.960
<v Speaker 1>a story from their side that you can go with.

0:06:36.200 --> 0:06:40.239
<v Speaker 1>But now they kicked down They didn't kick down the door.

0:06:40.760 --> 0:06:43.560
<v Speaker 1>Nobody said they kicked down the door. Nobody from punk

0:06:43.600 --> 0:06:47.279
<v Speaker 1>side said they kicked down the door. Nobody from obviously

0:06:47.320 --> 0:06:49.200
<v Speaker 1>the Buck side, said that they kicked down the door.

0:06:49.279 --> 0:06:51.360
<v Speaker 1>Nobody kicked down the door. Now here's another one that

0:06:51.400 --> 0:06:53.520
<v Speaker 1>people gonna go, Oh, Brian's defending the Bucks. I'm not

0:06:53.560 --> 0:06:56.160
<v Speaker 1>defending the Bucks. I'm just trying to tell you what

0:06:56.600 --> 0:07:02.840
<v Speaker 1>happened from both sides. Okay. The other one I heard was, well,

0:07:02.880 --> 0:07:04.279
<v Speaker 1>you know, they didn't kick down the door, but they

0:07:04.360 --> 0:07:08.200
<v Speaker 1>entered the room and it was three on one, and thus,

0:07:08.440 --> 0:07:11.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, Punk had to knew what he did. Okay, Listen,

0:07:12.200 --> 0:07:13.880
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how they entered the room, except that

0:07:13.880 --> 0:07:18.239
<v Speaker 1>they didn't kick down the door, but it wasn't three

0:07:18.240 --> 0:07:24.560
<v Speaker 1>on one. If you're a defender of Punk and you

0:07:24.560 --> 0:07:26.640
<v Speaker 1>want to say that they aggressively entered and he felt

0:07:26.640 --> 0:07:29.760
<v Speaker 1>he had to defend himself, that's fine. Okay, maybe that's

0:07:29.760 --> 0:07:31.520
<v Speaker 1>what happened. We're all gonna find out when they when

0:07:31.520 --> 0:07:33.920
<v Speaker 1>they interview everybody and they do their But what is

0:07:34.360 --> 0:07:38.240
<v Speaker 1>factually incorrect is that it was ever three on one.

0:07:39.640 --> 0:07:42.240
<v Speaker 1>What did a steel just materialize out of thin air

0:07:42.320 --> 0:07:46.160
<v Speaker 1>once it hit the fan. There were many people in

0:07:46.200 --> 0:07:49.559
<v Speaker 1>the room when the Young Bucks came in. I can't

0:07:49.600 --> 0:07:52.840
<v Speaker 1>give you the exact number, but it was close to

0:07:53.080 --> 0:07:56.240
<v Speaker 1>if not a half dozen. Punk was not in there

0:07:56.280 --> 0:08:01.440
<v Speaker 1>all by himself, There were multiple people in the room.

0:08:01.480 --> 0:08:05.680
<v Speaker 1>The Young Bucks didn't come into the room alone. They

0:08:05.760 --> 0:08:09.840
<v Speaker 1>came in with the head of legal She didn't help

0:08:09.920 --> 0:08:13.800
<v Speaker 1>kick the door down. Okay. I understand people have decided

0:08:13.840 --> 0:08:17.480
<v Speaker 1>who's at fault and everything like that. They're investigating this

0:08:17.760 --> 0:08:20.480
<v Speaker 1>and we will find out who they believe in the

0:08:20.600 --> 0:08:25.200
<v Speaker 1>end was at fault, okay, but it does not help

0:08:25.280 --> 0:08:28.840
<v Speaker 1>matters to make up stories about the young bucks kicking

0:08:28.880 --> 0:08:33.960
<v Speaker 1>the door down, punk being one on three as he's

0:08:33.960 --> 0:08:37.800
<v Speaker 1>in the room alone, he wasn't. Okay, there were people

0:08:37.880 --> 0:08:41.360
<v Speaker 1>in the room, a number of them. More people came in,

0:08:41.920 --> 0:08:47.920
<v Speaker 1>and you know it was from multiple sources. It was

0:08:48.040 --> 0:08:50.120
<v Speaker 1>three to five seconds before. There were tons of people

0:08:50.160 --> 0:08:53.000
<v Speaker 1>in that room. So this isn't No one was there,

0:08:53.120 --> 0:08:55.560
<v Speaker 1>no one witnessed it. You're giving one side or the other.

0:08:56.080 --> 0:08:58.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I guess I'm giving one side by telling

0:08:58.040 --> 0:09:00.439
<v Speaker 1>you that whoever told the story about the door being

0:09:00.480 --> 0:09:04.680
<v Speaker 1>kicked down, that did not happen. And that's from all sides, okay,

0:09:04.800 --> 0:09:10.439
<v Speaker 1>And it was not a three on one whatever. I mean, dude,

0:09:10.520 --> 0:09:12.920
<v Speaker 1>can we just waiting until this thing is wrapped up

0:09:12.920 --> 0:09:16.400
<v Speaker 1>and we've got like anyway? No, of course they can't.

0:09:16.760 --> 0:09:20.920
<v Speaker 1>And also, do you have any more post press conference

0:09:21.000 --> 0:09:24.600
<v Speaker 1>fan fick that you'd like to let us know about,

0:09:25.320 --> 0:09:28.120
<v Speaker 1>because I didn't know that the young bucks were going

0:09:28.160 --> 0:09:32.160
<v Speaker 1>and stomping through doors, and there's all this other stuff

0:09:32.200 --> 0:09:34.240
<v Speaker 1>that's uh that's come out. Have you read read it

0:09:34.280 --> 0:09:37.640
<v Speaker 1>for any other types of what's the most entertaining story,

0:09:37.800 --> 0:09:40.400
<v Speaker 1>most ridiculous story you've seen from this? The young bucks

0:09:40.480 --> 0:09:43.280
<v Speaker 1>kicking down a solid steel door? Are you sure to

0:09:43.360 --> 0:09:45.679
<v Speaker 1>get inside with the head illegal behind them? That is

0:09:45.720 --> 0:09:47.640
<v Speaker 1>the funniest thing I heard in all of this. I

0:09:47.679 --> 0:09:50.880
<v Speaker 1>don't know. People wanted saying that they were grappling with

0:09:51.000 --> 0:09:53.199
<v Speaker 1>Larry and all that other stuff too. Now it seems

0:09:53.200 --> 0:09:59.040
<v Speaker 1>that they were grappling with Well, everybody has had a

0:09:59.120 --> 0:10:02.880
<v Speaker 1>field day with so I mean, I don't I don't know,

0:10:02.960 --> 0:10:05.800
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. Do you did? You just, you know,

0:10:06.840 --> 0:10:09.520
<v Speaker 1>justify it by talking about on the radio something that's

0:10:09.559 --> 0:10:12.520
<v Speaker 1>so completely ridiculous and so easy to shoot down and

0:10:12.559 --> 0:10:16.400
<v Speaker 1>has been shot. Here you go and give credence. I

0:10:16.440 --> 0:10:18.560
<v Speaker 1>want to say this because I'm I'm a fair man. Listen,

0:10:19.040 --> 0:10:22.920
<v Speaker 1>there are a lot of things about the brawl where

0:10:22.960 --> 0:10:25.719
<v Speaker 1>there are in fact different stories. Okay, I'll give you

0:10:25.720 --> 0:10:29.640
<v Speaker 1>an example. Larry the dog was in the room. Okay.

0:10:30.440 --> 0:10:34.120
<v Speaker 1>There there there are stories out that Kenny Omega was

0:10:34.160 --> 0:10:38.000
<v Speaker 1>attempting to rescue Larry the Dog. Okay, but I have

0:10:38.080 --> 0:10:41.360
<v Speaker 1>also heard that in fact, it was Mega who rescued

0:10:41.400 --> 0:10:46.000
<v Speaker 1>the dog. Okay, it was it was a melee. It

0:10:46.040 --> 0:10:48.600
<v Speaker 1>could have been one, it could have been the other,

0:10:49.640 --> 0:10:53.560
<v Speaker 1>it could have been both. But bro, I don't know. Okay,

0:10:53.600 --> 0:10:56.760
<v Speaker 1>that is something that is in dispute, and maybe we'll know,

0:10:56.800 --> 0:10:58.840
<v Speaker 1>maybe we won't. I don't know what and and honestly,

0:10:58.840 --> 0:11:01.080
<v Speaker 1>that doesn't have anything to do with what happened. I mean,

0:11:01.120 --> 0:11:04.000
<v Speaker 1>somebody rescued the dog, but it is in dispute who

0:11:04.080 --> 0:11:07.000
<v Speaker 1>actually rescued the dog. Different people who were there had

0:11:07.080 --> 0:11:10.960
<v Speaker 1>different people rescuing the dog, Okay, but nobody had the

0:11:10.960 --> 0:11:14.040
<v Speaker 1>door being kicked down. That's my point. There are certain

0:11:14.040 --> 0:11:16.160
<v Speaker 1>things here that are in dispute, and there are other

0:11:16.200 --> 0:11:18.800
<v Speaker 1>things that aren't in dispute. Yet somehow these stories are

0:11:18.800 --> 0:11:21.360
<v Speaker 1>out there. So no, I don't know who saved Larry

0:11:21.400 --> 0:11:23.440
<v Speaker 1>the Dog. I say, I'm looking at the chat right now.

0:11:23.520 --> 0:11:27.199
<v Speaker 1>The Wrestling News cannot confirm that Larry the Dog was suspended,

0:11:27.280 --> 0:11:29.360
<v Speaker 1>so we're gonna have to wait until later on. Hopefully

0:11:29.400 --> 0:11:31.240
<v Speaker 1>Dave's got an update on well. I can tell you

0:11:31.240 --> 0:11:33.000
<v Speaker 1>that Larry the Dog was not suspended because Larry the

0:11:33.040 --> 0:11:36.719
<v Speaker 1>Dog was not under contract. But he's not going to

0:11:36.800 --> 0:11:38.440
<v Speaker 1>be allowed. You know, they're not gonna pay. It would

0:11:38.480 --> 0:11:41.560
<v Speaker 1>be like his gear. Even if he brings his gear,

0:11:41.559 --> 0:11:44.439
<v Speaker 1>they're not gonna let him in the building anymore. Would

0:11:44.440 --> 0:11:45.680
<v Speaker 1>he have been able to get out of the stump

0:11:45.679 --> 0:11:48.280
<v Speaker 1>puller easier than you, You wouldn't have gotten the stump

0:11:48.280 --> 0:11:51.199
<v Speaker 1>puller on the dog, I can tell you that much.

0:11:54.600 --> 0:11:56.360
<v Speaker 1>So here's the deal everyone, as we get back from

0:11:56.360 --> 0:12:01.120
<v Speaker 1>the break, they did strip CM Punk of the championship.

0:12:01.679 --> 0:12:04.080
<v Speaker 1>They did strip the Young Bucks and Kenny Omega of

0:12:04.120 --> 0:12:08.680
<v Speaker 1>the trios titles. We already have new trios champions and

0:12:08.760 --> 0:12:11.360
<v Speaker 1>we're in the middle of a tournament that will wrap

0:12:11.440 --> 0:12:16.800
<v Speaker 1>up at Arthur Ash And at that point, um we'll

0:12:16.840 --> 0:12:18.880
<v Speaker 1>find out with the new champions where they go and

0:12:18.880 --> 0:12:21.559
<v Speaker 1>I'll talk about more details after the break Observer Live.

0:12:41.800 --> 0:12:44.880
<v Speaker 1>Back in the show. Bran Elbert is here Wrestling Observer Live.

0:12:45.000 --> 0:12:50.679
<v Speaker 1>Mike Sumburviv also Wrestling Observe dot Com. So Young Bucks,

0:12:50.760 --> 0:12:53.280
<v Speaker 1>Kenny Omega and See Him Punk have all been stripped

0:12:53.280 --> 0:12:57.320
<v Speaker 1>of their titles. And of course I mentioned stuff last

0:12:57.400 --> 0:13:00.600
<v Speaker 1>night and I picked I didn't pick sides pick sides.

0:13:01.640 --> 0:13:04.800
<v Speaker 1>I said, I understand Punk being stripped, but I don't

0:13:04.840 --> 0:13:07.840
<v Speaker 1>understand Kenny Omega and the Bucks being stripped necessarily. And

0:13:07.880 --> 0:13:11.600
<v Speaker 1>it's not because I picked sides. It's because Sam Punk

0:13:11.800 --> 0:13:16.000
<v Speaker 1>has a torn triceps surgery. He's not gonna be out

0:13:16.080 --> 0:13:18.080
<v Speaker 1>for I don't know what he's gonna come back. I mean,

0:13:18.400 --> 0:13:22.800
<v Speaker 1>if nothing had happened, if nothing had happened Sunday at

0:13:22.840 --> 0:13:27.040
<v Speaker 1>the presser and afterwards, then apparently we have no audio

0:13:27.080 --> 0:13:29.600
<v Speaker 1>on Twitch. So whatever button we gotta push for that one.

0:13:31.520 --> 0:13:35.120
<v Speaker 1>We'll be back soon, everybody. I got it back up

0:13:35.120 --> 0:13:44.600
<v Speaker 1>on Twitch. Good. Are we good? Now? No sound? No? Alright? Thursday, y'all?

0:13:45.480 --> 0:13:49.160
<v Speaker 1>Well anyway, so my my should I start over again?

0:13:49.960 --> 0:13:53.880
<v Speaker 1>Poor audio listeners are like screw these video nerds? Okay, listen.

0:13:54.360 --> 0:13:58.360
<v Speaker 1>I said yesterday that I understood Punk being stripped, but

0:13:58.400 --> 0:14:01.240
<v Speaker 1>I didn't understand the young Bucks Kenny being stripped. So

0:14:01.280 --> 0:14:03.839
<v Speaker 1>of course everyone freaked out. But this is the point.

0:14:05.600 --> 0:14:08.720
<v Speaker 1>See him Punk, if nothing had happened, if nothing had happened,

0:14:08.760 --> 0:14:10.480
<v Speaker 1>if he won the title from Moxley, had a great

0:14:10.480 --> 0:14:13.480
<v Speaker 1>press conference, there was no fight, nothing. Punk was still

0:14:13.480 --> 0:14:16.160
<v Speaker 1>being stripped on Wednesday because he tore his triceps in

0:14:16.200 --> 0:14:18.440
<v Speaker 1>the match, and he's out eight months a year. I

0:14:18.480 --> 0:14:21.640
<v Speaker 1>don't even know how long. So I mean it makes

0:14:21.640 --> 0:14:26.720
<v Speaker 1>sense to strip him. Now, Young Bucks and Kenny Omega,

0:14:27.280 --> 0:14:29.480
<v Speaker 1>I mean they might be back next week, they might

0:14:29.480 --> 0:14:32.320
<v Speaker 1>be back the week after. So by stripping the Young

0:14:32.360 --> 0:14:35.440
<v Speaker 1>Bucks and Kenny as well, that tells me that they

0:14:35.640 --> 0:14:39.440
<v Speaker 1>have no timeline as to when this investigation is going

0:14:39.480 --> 0:14:43.520
<v Speaker 1>to be wrapped up. And I know everybody just oh,

0:14:43.680 --> 0:14:49.000
<v Speaker 1>there should be done in a few days, just interview everybody. Well, uh,

0:14:49.120 --> 0:14:52.119
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't work like that. You don't know how long corporation.

0:14:52.880 --> 0:14:54.800
<v Speaker 1>This is not, I mean the ears the thing. It's

0:14:54.800 --> 0:14:58.360
<v Speaker 1>not just well who was in the wrong? Okay, who who? Who?

0:14:59.040 --> 0:15:04.320
<v Speaker 1>This is probably gonna be litigated, and you don't want

0:15:04.360 --> 0:15:08.640
<v Speaker 1>to screw this up, so uh, we may not see

0:15:09.000 --> 0:15:12.240
<v Speaker 1>this investigation wrapped up for a while. And if it's

0:15:12.280 --> 0:15:13.840
<v Speaker 1>not wrapped up for a while, you've got to strip

0:15:13.880 --> 0:15:15.880
<v Speaker 1>the Young Bucks and Kenny Omega as well. Now, you

0:15:15.920 --> 0:15:18.680
<v Speaker 1>could have done the interim thing again because they have

0:15:18.760 --> 0:15:21.280
<v Speaker 1>set the precedent that you know, if somebody can't defend

0:15:21.280 --> 0:15:23.080
<v Speaker 1>the titles for one reason or the other, you create

0:15:23.120 --> 0:15:27.560
<v Speaker 1>an interim championship. But apparently they've just decided that nope,

0:15:28.200 --> 0:15:33.000
<v Speaker 1>they're all being stripped, and uh, we have new trios champions.

0:15:33.120 --> 0:15:35.880
<v Speaker 1>The Death Triangle beat the Best Friends, so they won

0:15:35.920 --> 0:15:38.880
<v Speaker 1>the Trios titles, which means that Pok is now a

0:15:38.920 --> 0:15:41.960
<v Speaker 1>double champion. He's got the All Atlantic title as well,

0:15:42.280 --> 0:15:45.520
<v Speaker 1>and they are doing a tournament to determine who will

0:15:45.560 --> 0:15:49.280
<v Speaker 1>be the new champion and that person will be crowned

0:15:49.440 --> 0:15:54.960
<v Speaker 1>at Arthur Ash. So you know, there's solved. Situation has

0:15:55.000 --> 0:15:59.040
<v Speaker 1>been a disaster, but if it ends up with a

0:15:59.160 --> 0:16:03.840
<v Speaker 1>unified lock a room and you know, quite frankly, after

0:16:03.880 --> 0:16:07.000
<v Speaker 1>everything that happened with Punk and the Moxley storyline and

0:16:07.120 --> 0:16:09.760
<v Speaker 1>now this tournament, I mean, we have we may have

0:16:09.800 --> 0:16:12.560
<v Speaker 1>a seven week stretch of one plus million viewers as

0:16:12.560 --> 0:16:14.720
<v Speaker 1>a result of all of this, because we're going on

0:16:14.840 --> 0:16:17.800
<v Speaker 1>three weeks now. It probably did a million last night,

0:16:17.800 --> 0:16:19.840
<v Speaker 1>but I don't know. And then you've got two more

0:16:19.840 --> 0:16:22.040
<v Speaker 1>weeks in Arthur Ash when they're crowning a champion on

0:16:22.120 --> 0:16:26.400
<v Speaker 1>free TV. I mean, you know, viewership wise, this was

0:16:26.440 --> 0:16:28.920
<v Speaker 1>an excellent thing that happened to them. And uh, I

0:16:28.960 --> 0:16:32.560
<v Speaker 1>did hear that they did a raw Ross speech last

0:16:32.680 --> 0:16:36.240
<v Speaker 1>night before the show and The feeling that I got

0:16:36.280 --> 0:16:40.960
<v Speaker 1>from people was that people felt good last night. Ah,

0:16:41.040 --> 0:16:45.160
<v Speaker 1>I felt united. Ah, this is behind them in a

0:16:45.200 --> 0:16:49.680
<v Speaker 1>lot of ways. I mean, whatever happens, whatever happens, I

0:16:49.720 --> 0:16:55.240
<v Speaker 1>mean people feel I don't know how to explain it. Really,

0:16:55.280 --> 0:16:57.440
<v Speaker 1>It's not like they feel good about what happened, because

0:16:57.480 --> 0:17:00.520
<v Speaker 1>they don't. I mean, there were people whose guys got

0:17:00.520 --> 0:17:03.240
<v Speaker 1>it there their system. For those people that did not

0:17:03.400 --> 0:17:06.240
<v Speaker 1>have skin in that game, did not have a real

0:17:06.320 --> 0:17:10.320
<v Speaker 1>horse in that fight. They may agree or buddy around

0:17:10.320 --> 0:17:12.400
<v Speaker 1>with one side more than the other. For a lot

0:17:12.440 --> 0:17:15.000
<v Speaker 1>of people, now that's out of the system. We had

0:17:15.000 --> 0:17:17.160
<v Speaker 1>a meeting, the meeting didn't go anywhere. We have all

0:17:17.280 --> 0:17:19.919
<v Speaker 1>that stuff that it was leading up to this now.

0:17:20.560 --> 0:17:22.840
<v Speaker 1>And I hate to say this because this is not

0:17:22.920 --> 0:17:25.879
<v Speaker 1>the what you want in a corporate environment, but sometimes

0:17:26.160 --> 0:17:28.800
<v Speaker 1>there are fights in locker rooms and then it's over.

0:17:29.040 --> 0:17:30.960
<v Speaker 1>They got it out of their system. And I think

0:17:30.960 --> 0:17:32.680
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people are looking at it that way.

0:17:32.720 --> 0:17:37.040
<v Speaker 1>Because legals involved, this is all now above us. We

0:17:37.040 --> 0:17:39.359
<v Speaker 1>can only concentrate on what we can do. And I

0:17:39.400 --> 0:17:42.679
<v Speaker 1>think last night there were a lot of people that

0:17:42.840 --> 0:17:45.440
<v Speaker 1>showed out on that show last night that stepped up

0:17:45.920 --> 0:17:48.040
<v Speaker 1>and knew that we had to hit a home run

0:17:48.119 --> 0:17:50.120
<v Speaker 1>last night for things that were out of our control.

0:17:50.359 --> 0:17:52.760
<v Speaker 1>The one thing we can control is how we are

0:17:52.760 --> 0:17:55.359
<v Speaker 1>in the ring and how we carry ourselves. And I

0:17:55.359 --> 0:17:57.679
<v Speaker 1>think there's a lot of people who are just again,

0:17:57.720 --> 0:18:00.600
<v Speaker 1>this weight and that drama and that fog. It may

0:18:00.600 --> 0:18:05.480
<v Speaker 1>not be gone for good, but it's dissipated enough saying

0:18:05.520 --> 0:18:08.159
<v Speaker 1>Moura and the chat here, and this is gonna be

0:18:08.760 --> 0:18:10.920
<v Speaker 1>the show. Everyone goes, Oh, Brian spent the whole show

0:18:10.960 --> 0:18:14.399
<v Speaker 1>defending the Young Bucks. But I will I will address

0:18:14.440 --> 0:18:16.760
<v Speaker 1>this here. So and I heard this all day yesterday.

0:18:16.800 --> 0:18:21.000
<v Speaker 1>I heard it all day yesterday. Punk was justified because

0:18:21.080 --> 0:18:25.640
<v Speaker 1>the Young Bucks leaked all sorts of stuff to the press. Okay,

0:18:25.680 --> 0:18:29.160
<v Speaker 1>so here's my question, everybody, what did the Young Bucks

0:18:29.240 --> 0:18:33.200
<v Speaker 1>leaked to the press? How would they know? Brian, you're

0:18:33.240 --> 0:18:37.800
<v Speaker 1>a well, no, no, no, well I am asking No.

0:18:37.920 --> 0:18:41.800
<v Speaker 1>Here's the here's the thing. Listen. I am sure that

0:18:41.920 --> 0:18:45.760
<v Speaker 1>see him, Punk believes that the Young Bucks leaked stuff

0:18:45.800 --> 0:18:48.520
<v Speaker 1>to the press. And if that's one of the reasons

0:18:48.560 --> 0:18:51.240
<v Speaker 1>for the fight, I'm sure that he believed that. I'm

0:18:51.240 --> 0:18:53.119
<v Speaker 1>sure he's not making that up that he believed that.

0:18:53.800 --> 0:18:58.920
<v Speaker 1>But I've mentioned this a thousand times. I didn't get

0:18:58.960 --> 0:19:04.120
<v Speaker 1>anything anything about CM punk and Cold Cabana or anything

0:19:04.680 --> 0:19:07.959
<v Speaker 1>from the Young Bucks. And you know what, Mike, somebody

0:19:08.000 --> 0:19:11.320
<v Speaker 1>actually went back and do you know who the first

0:19:11.359 --> 0:19:13.960
<v Speaker 1>person was to mention the rumors of Cold caban and

0:19:14.000 --> 0:19:21.480
<v Speaker 1>ceampunk on this program? Who was you on a solo stamp? Yep? Yep?

0:19:22.160 --> 0:19:24.679
<v Speaker 1>What did I say? I have no idea. And I'm

0:19:24.720 --> 0:19:28.080
<v Speaker 1>not even blaming you, I'm I'm pointing out. I'm pointing

0:19:28.080 --> 0:19:35.160
<v Speaker 1>out that like, by the time I even mentioned these rumors, fans,

0:19:36.520 --> 0:19:40.600
<v Speaker 1>every single solitary person in the locker room, three quarters

0:19:40.640 --> 0:19:46.440
<v Speaker 1>of Reddit, everybody had heard about this before I ever

0:19:46.520 --> 0:19:48.359
<v Speaker 1>even mentioned it one time on the show. And you

0:19:48.359 --> 0:19:50.920
<v Speaker 1>know what, I would bet that of that of the

0:19:50.960 --> 0:19:52.640
<v Speaker 1>hun percent of the people that knew by the time

0:19:52.680 --> 0:19:57.679
<v Speaker 1>I mentioned it the new by the time you mentioned it, like,

0:19:59.119 --> 0:20:00.840
<v Speaker 1>and you know what I would have said if i'm

0:20:00.880 --> 0:20:03.879
<v Speaker 1>if I'm trying to track back here, my mind was

0:20:04.119 --> 0:20:08.480
<v Speaker 1>when everything went down, it was talking about hypothetically what

0:20:08.520 --> 0:20:11.119
<v Speaker 1>the locker room, if you were on CM punk side,

0:20:11.160 --> 0:20:14.239
<v Speaker 1>would say, because I was talking about I believe it

0:20:14.320 --> 0:20:17.040
<v Speaker 1>was Friday. It would have been a Friday show where

0:20:17.040 --> 0:20:19.359
<v Speaker 1>I talked about everything, and I think the clip is

0:20:19.400 --> 0:20:21.040
<v Speaker 1>up there on you. I don't actually, I don't know

0:20:21.080 --> 0:20:22.880
<v Speaker 1>any more of the clip is up there on YouTube

0:20:23.160 --> 0:20:25.720
<v Speaker 1>from I believe it was like two weeks ago where

0:20:25.760 --> 0:20:28.360
<v Speaker 1>I just brought up Okay, if you're on punk side

0:20:29.080 --> 0:20:34.240
<v Speaker 1>in theory, Okay, this is what they're saying. This is

0:20:34.280 --> 0:20:36.600
<v Speaker 1>what seems to be what they're saying. It was hypothetical,

0:20:36.680 --> 0:20:43.280
<v Speaker 1>which I said multiple times. But again, I think we've

0:20:43.280 --> 0:20:47.040
<v Speaker 1>seen where this is gone here now to where you

0:20:47.080 --> 0:20:53.400
<v Speaker 1>know it just I'm not sure. I'm not sure when

0:20:53.440 --> 0:20:56.280
<v Speaker 1>it comes to like how you started this show with,

0:20:56.520 --> 0:21:00.320
<v Speaker 1>Like I, I have missed the attacks on you. I

0:21:00.359 --> 0:21:03.440
<v Speaker 1>know you've gotten your your cajones busted here. But obviously

0:21:03.520 --> 0:21:06.640
<v Speaker 1>this is annoying the hell out of you because they

0:21:06.680 --> 0:21:09.040
<v Speaker 1>had a show last night that we could be talking

0:21:09.040 --> 0:21:11.280
<v Speaker 1>about in the grand scheme of things. How can you

0:21:11.320 --> 0:21:14.920
<v Speaker 1>take what happened and apply it to the future here

0:21:15.080 --> 0:21:18.280
<v Speaker 1>the same way with Vince McMahon and that situation with

0:21:18.359 --> 0:21:20.320
<v Speaker 1>what happened and all of the fall out there, and

0:21:20.440 --> 0:21:22.879
<v Speaker 1>okay that you got a bunch of lemons, what are

0:21:22.880 --> 0:21:24.520
<v Speaker 1>you gonna do with these lemons? Now? You're gonna make

0:21:24.600 --> 0:21:26.480
<v Speaker 1>lemonade or you just gonna squeeze them in your own

0:21:26.480 --> 0:21:29.879
<v Speaker 1>eyes and stumble around in the dark. So well, I

0:21:29.880 --> 0:21:31.480
<v Speaker 1>will talk about it, but I always save that for

0:21:31.480 --> 0:21:35.320
<v Speaker 1>the final segments. I have a full fourteen minutes recap

0:21:35.359 --> 0:21:40.159
<v Speaker 1>all of it. Uh huh, not a conspiracy here. I

0:21:40.200 --> 0:21:42.240
<v Speaker 1>always wait, Well, you want me to do some news,

0:21:42.280 --> 0:21:47.520
<v Speaker 1>some unrelated news. Well, Rod did well? I mean I

0:21:47.560 --> 0:21:49.760
<v Speaker 1>would like to hear you keep going after your enemies.

0:21:49.800 --> 0:21:52.040
<v Speaker 1>Obviously you've got enough ops out there that you have.

0:21:52.240 --> 0:21:54.080
<v Speaker 1>I have got to get this off your chest that

0:21:54.240 --> 0:21:57.760
<v Speaker 1>you did not hear from the young Bucks. I didn't.

0:21:58.000 --> 0:22:01.920
<v Speaker 1>I did it. I swear to god, everybody knew. Why

0:22:01.960 --> 0:22:05.040
<v Speaker 1>are you fighting so hard against this If you didn't

0:22:05.080 --> 0:22:08.320
<v Speaker 1>just tell these people you didn't, Brian, you cannot try

0:22:08.359 --> 0:22:11.240
<v Speaker 1>to change somebody's mind who doesn't want it to be changed.

0:22:11.480 --> 0:22:14.399
<v Speaker 1>You cannot help out ignorant. You are right, You're absolutely right.

0:22:14.440 --> 0:22:16.719
<v Speaker 1>So I can at least tell everybody the truth so

0:22:16.800 --> 0:22:20.280
<v Speaker 1>that the people that aren't uh, I don't know what

0:22:20.400 --> 0:22:22.760
<v Speaker 1>term I want to use, so the people that have

0:22:22.840 --> 0:22:25.200
<v Speaker 1>more than a walnut for a brain, well, at least

0:22:25.280 --> 0:22:30.639
<v Speaker 1>actually know the truth. Cole. I've given both sides of

0:22:30.680 --> 0:22:35.600
<v Speaker 1>this story as accurately as having to qualify that, and

0:22:35.600 --> 0:22:38.960
<v Speaker 1>I think that is I'm irritated more telling me I'm

0:22:38.960 --> 0:22:41.280
<v Speaker 1>only telling one side. I've literally told both sides. I

0:22:41.359 --> 0:22:43.320
<v Speaker 1>told both sides of the dog for crying out loud,

0:22:43.960 --> 0:22:45.280
<v Speaker 1>which for all I know, it might even be the

0:22:45.320 --> 0:22:48.359
<v Speaker 1>same side. Maybe they were throwing that Larry back and

0:22:48.400 --> 0:22:50.560
<v Speaker 1>forth and trying to get him out of the room.

0:22:50.720 --> 0:22:53.439
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I'm trying to tell you both sides

0:22:53.480 --> 0:22:56.200
<v Speaker 1>of this situation here, and I'll tell you one side

0:22:56.200 --> 0:22:58.360
<v Speaker 1>for sure. I did not hear any is from the unbox.

0:23:04.240 --> 0:23:07.639
<v Speaker 1>I didn't either. If they named the Alvarez driver, I

0:23:07.640 --> 0:23:11.920
<v Speaker 1>would ask him. Well, they didn't, so I didn't. Are

0:23:11.960 --> 0:23:14.320
<v Speaker 1>you taking strays from Dave? Is that what some of

0:23:14.359 --> 0:23:21.080
<v Speaker 1>this is about. I'm trying to stall, actually recab the

0:23:21.160 --> 0:23:24.000
<v Speaker 1>Dynamite show. I don't think anybody cares about the raw ratings.

0:23:24.040 --> 0:23:26.560
<v Speaker 1>It did well. Everybody at x T six eight four

0:23:26.600 --> 0:23:30.280
<v Speaker 1>did a good job. No one cares about that news well,

0:23:30.359 --> 0:23:33.800
<v Speaker 1>Dan Ventrell. After the last big issue, they came up

0:23:33.880 --> 0:23:36.800
<v Speaker 1>with another company I guess is being inserted into the

0:23:36.800 --> 0:23:40.680
<v Speaker 1>position the former uh vice president or president of the

0:23:41.200 --> 0:23:44.960
<v Speaker 1>Las Vegas Raiders apparently if Mark Davis never said that

0:23:45.000 --> 0:23:47.719
<v Speaker 1>he was. But he went to the NFL on behalf

0:23:47.760 --> 0:23:50.399
<v Speaker 1>of a lot of women there and about the whole

0:23:51.000 --> 0:23:53.600
<v Speaker 1>the rest of the office, about the culture that needed

0:23:53.640 --> 0:23:55.639
<v Speaker 1>to change, and he was fired for that, and the

0:23:55.720 --> 0:23:58.240
<v Speaker 1>NFL wentn't investigated. The Raiders had to make some changes

0:23:58.680 --> 0:24:01.240
<v Speaker 1>that they're doing on their own. So if you're trying

0:24:01.280 --> 0:24:04.080
<v Speaker 1>to like make an impact, he's probably a really good

0:24:04.080 --> 0:24:05.879
<v Speaker 1>guy to bring into the fold. Right now, back in

0:24:05.920 --> 0:24:19.000
<v Speaker 1>a moment Observer Live thinking the show, Brian Elber is here, Russell,

0:24:19.200 --> 0:24:22.159
<v Speaker 1>don't say anything. I'm doing the Dynamite reports. Oh, come on,

0:24:22.400 --> 0:24:24.720
<v Speaker 1>don't you want to get out about the queen. It

0:24:24.840 --> 0:24:28.640
<v Speaker 1>opened up with Tony Khan actually, and it was very

0:24:28.640 --> 0:24:30.400
<v Speaker 1>interesting because the moment they put him on the screen,

0:24:30.400 --> 0:24:33.680
<v Speaker 1>everybody booed, and uh, if people were been wondering why

0:24:33.720 --> 0:24:37.639
<v Speaker 1>they do that, what's going on, Well, I think it's

0:24:37.640 --> 0:24:40.639
<v Speaker 1>obvious why he was booed. He was booed because they

0:24:40.640 --> 0:24:43.200
<v Speaker 1>were in New York and the moment everyone saw his face,

0:24:43.520 --> 0:24:47.199
<v Speaker 1>they thought this is mgf's rival, and so they started booing.

0:24:47.280 --> 0:24:50.280
<v Speaker 1>And then he immediately announces the world title is vacant,

0:24:50.480 --> 0:24:54.440
<v Speaker 1>and everyone cheered. They cheered his decision, and then he

0:24:54.480 --> 0:24:58.639
<v Speaker 1>announced that the trio's titles were vacant. He announced that

0:24:58.720 --> 0:25:02.640
<v Speaker 1>the titles would be the decided tonight. Everybody cheered, and

0:25:02.640 --> 0:25:05.400
<v Speaker 1>then he talked about how the singles title would be

0:25:05.520 --> 0:25:09.879
<v Speaker 1>uh determined it at Arthur Rashley bowed. They wanted it tonight.

0:25:10.720 --> 0:25:14.240
<v Speaker 1>But that's how the whole thing began. And then outcomes

0:25:14.400 --> 0:25:18.560
<v Speaker 1>m JF. Eddie Is gets a heroes welcome, He's cheered,

0:25:18.640 --> 0:25:23.320
<v Speaker 1>he's people go nuts for him and in fact, and

0:25:23.320 --> 0:25:25.639
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna need some time tonight. So Brian and Vinnie

0:25:25.640 --> 0:25:29.960
<v Speaker 1>show Wrestling Observer dot com. The storyline is that he

0:25:30.040 --> 0:25:33.880
<v Speaker 1>wants to win the a W title and take it

0:25:33.960 --> 0:25:38.240
<v Speaker 1>to w W E because w w E is better.

0:25:41.680 --> 0:25:43.760
<v Speaker 1>So he cuts his promo and then thank god, old

0:25:43.840 --> 0:25:45.840
<v Speaker 1>John Moxy comes out and he ain't taking any of

0:25:45.920 --> 0:25:49.240
<v Speaker 1>this garbage and he tells this bloke, you better get

0:25:49.240 --> 0:25:52.800
<v Speaker 1>out of here right now, or and h m JF

0:25:52.880 --> 0:25:56.520
<v Speaker 1>makes the wise decision gets out of there, and then

0:25:56.800 --> 0:26:03.480
<v Speaker 1>John Moxley cuts this promo. Just this guy, this guy,

0:26:04.640 --> 0:26:06.840
<v Speaker 1>hopefully Dave Camponi up for a real plaque when he

0:26:06.880 --> 0:26:09.159
<v Speaker 1>wins the Wrestler of the year again he cut this

0:26:09.280 --> 0:26:13.240
<v Speaker 1>promo about this company needs to be saved. I want

0:26:13.280 --> 0:26:15.840
<v Speaker 1>the ball. I'm gonna I mean, I can't do it.

0:26:16.440 --> 0:26:19.600
<v Speaker 1>Just go watch it. But announcers are marking out, the

0:26:19.640 --> 0:26:24.560
<v Speaker 1>fans are losing their minds absolutely. Ten star promo by

0:26:24.640 --> 0:26:28.600
<v Speaker 1>John Moxley, and he's coming for that title. Should just

0:26:28.640 --> 0:26:31.800
<v Speaker 1>gave it to him right there. Everybody in the tournament

0:26:31.800 --> 0:26:36.600
<v Speaker 1>should just like lay down anyway. Then we had the

0:26:36.640 --> 0:26:40.640
<v Speaker 1>death triangle against the Best Friends for the a W

0:26:40.640 --> 0:26:46.360
<v Speaker 1>World Trio's title, and the Best Friends were defeated by

0:26:46.359 --> 0:26:49.560
<v Speaker 1>the death triangle. They did all sorts of all sorts

0:26:49.600 --> 0:26:54.240
<v Speaker 1>of nuttiness, triple Canadian destroyer spot at one point, and

0:26:54.280 --> 0:26:59.240
<v Speaker 1>finally Black Arrow on Chuck Taylor for the wind So

0:27:00.760 --> 0:27:05.000
<v Speaker 1>Park now a double champion here in a e W.

0:27:05.240 --> 0:27:10.879
<v Speaker 1>As a result of what happened that press conference, so

0:27:12.080 --> 0:27:14.280
<v Speaker 1>place went absolutely out of their minds for this opener.

0:27:15.520 --> 0:27:19.160
<v Speaker 1>Then again we had a women's match in the first hour,

0:27:19.680 --> 0:27:23.160
<v Speaker 1>Tony Storm faced Penelope Ford. It didn't have a lot

0:27:23.160 --> 0:27:25.199
<v Speaker 1>of heat. I would not say in any way it

0:27:25.240 --> 0:27:28.200
<v Speaker 1>was a fantastic match, But I have been very critical

0:27:28.200 --> 0:27:31.080
<v Speaker 1>of Penelope Ford. I thought she looked much better in

0:27:31.080 --> 0:27:34.919
<v Speaker 1>this match against Tony Storm DDT finish and that was it.

0:27:35.200 --> 0:27:38.840
<v Speaker 1>No uh, no tease, who's next, no call out? Nothing,

0:27:40.240 --> 0:27:43.720
<v Speaker 1>two point oh. We'll be facing Action, Bronson and Hook

0:27:44.760 --> 0:27:48.280
<v Speaker 1>coming up here in two weeks. That was a segment,

0:27:49.640 --> 0:27:51.760
<v Speaker 1>a claim that came out with a live mike. Everybody

0:27:51.800 --> 0:27:56.720
<v Speaker 1>was so excited, but Swerve interrupted and Swerve is now

0:27:56.800 --> 0:27:58.600
<v Speaker 1>they've gone by the way. No Keith Lee, I don't

0:27:58.600 --> 0:28:02.520
<v Speaker 1>know where he was, but they've on full heel and

0:28:03.200 --> 0:28:05.600
<v Speaker 1>they're building up to the match. The rematch isn't Arthur

0:28:05.640 --> 0:28:10.000
<v Speaker 1>ash Heel serving our glory versus baby Face Acclaimed and

0:28:10.040 --> 0:28:14.359
<v Speaker 1>the acclaimed hometown Dude. That's a tough act to follow

0:28:14.400 --> 0:28:17.320
<v Speaker 1>that pay per view match, but they're gonna try. And

0:28:17.400 --> 0:28:20.600
<v Speaker 1>I presume it has to be a title change, which

0:28:20.640 --> 0:28:22.639
<v Speaker 1>would be two title changes by the way on one show.

0:28:22.840 --> 0:28:25.359
<v Speaker 1>But I guess we had that here as well. We

0:28:25.400 --> 0:28:28.879
<v Speaker 1>had a Jericho Appreciation Society promo. Jericho basically told Daniel

0:28:28.920 --> 0:28:32.600
<v Speaker 1>Garcia you weren't there for the celebration Sunday, because of course,

0:28:32.640 --> 0:28:34.919
<v Speaker 1>Daniel Garcia said you could. You can win without cheating,

0:28:34.920 --> 0:28:38.760
<v Speaker 1>but Jericho cheated, and so Jericho goes, well, you can

0:28:38.800 --> 0:28:42.320
<v Speaker 1>win that uh, that pure title tonight, but we ain't

0:28:42.320 --> 0:28:48.240
<v Speaker 1>gonna be there. Warload destroyed at Tony Nice then kind

0:28:48.240 --> 0:28:50.880
<v Speaker 1>of promo saying I read on the internet people think that, uh,

0:28:51.160 --> 0:28:54.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, I've been I forget the term they use,

0:28:54.560 --> 0:28:58.560
<v Speaker 1>but you know, the momentum installed. He is vowed to

0:28:58.640 --> 0:29:01.640
<v Speaker 1>regain the momentum. And the problem is the only way

0:29:01.680 --> 0:29:04.280
<v Speaker 1>for him to regain the momentum is to build him

0:29:04.360 --> 0:29:07.880
<v Speaker 1>up for something bigger. And unless he's going for the

0:29:07.880 --> 0:29:11.200
<v Speaker 1>world title, which he's not, I mean, I don't know

0:29:11.240 --> 0:29:13.200
<v Speaker 1>how you give him momentum back by just having him

0:29:13.200 --> 0:29:15.720
<v Speaker 1>come out into the exact same thing every week. So

0:29:16.000 --> 0:29:18.120
<v Speaker 1>he did the promo, but I don't know what their

0:29:18.120 --> 0:29:23.760
<v Speaker 1>plan is. Bryan Danielson Hangman page dude, great match. I

0:29:23.800 --> 0:29:26.680
<v Speaker 1>went through two commercial breaks. I think it went some

0:29:26.880 --> 0:29:31.120
<v Speaker 1>ridiculous like nineteen minutes, twenty six minutes, something crazy, and uh,

0:29:31.400 --> 0:29:35.719
<v Speaker 1>Danielson's great. Hangman did great. Hangman goes for the buckshot,

0:29:36.440 --> 0:29:40.440
<v Speaker 1>Danielson avoids it, O'Connor roll with a bridge, pins him,

0:29:40.880 --> 0:29:47.080
<v Speaker 1>moves on in the tournament. This awesome professional wrestling. We

0:29:47.120 --> 0:29:50.240
<v Speaker 1>had a great jungle Boy promo, so you know, at

0:29:50.240 --> 0:29:54.040
<v Speaker 1>the show Sunday, Christian came out in a giant brace.

0:29:54.880 --> 0:29:58.440
<v Speaker 1>I didn't even do a match, and I speculated that

0:29:58.480 --> 0:30:01.280
<v Speaker 1>he was injured. And then later I was told that

0:30:01.320 --> 0:30:05.920
<v Speaker 1>he was injured and would be requiring surgery. But none

0:30:05.960 --> 0:30:08.880
<v Speaker 1>of this was ever announced by a W And then

0:30:08.960 --> 0:30:12.280
<v Speaker 1>here on this this pre tape, Jungle Boy just randomly says,

0:30:12.280 --> 0:30:16.560
<v Speaker 1>go get your little surgery. Okay, I must listen to

0:30:16.560 --> 0:30:19.720
<v Speaker 1>my show, but anyway, he's gonna target Luca Source in

0:30:19.760 --> 0:30:24.959
<v Speaker 1>the meantime and take out that big lizard and make

0:30:25.000 --> 0:30:29.600
<v Speaker 1>him go extinct. As stokely Hathaway promo where he celebrated

0:30:29.760 --> 0:30:33.000
<v Speaker 1>winning the poker chip and then some bloke tried to

0:30:33.200 --> 0:30:41.160
<v Speaker 1>wrap him up and so they wrapped him up rampage.

0:30:42.040 --> 0:30:45.000
<v Speaker 1>I guess we'll have to have my buddy do that one. Dynamite.

0:30:45.040 --> 0:30:47.720
<v Speaker 1>We got Daniel's in Jericho next week, John Moxley, Darby

0:30:47.760 --> 0:30:50.960
<v Speaker 1>Ell and Sammy in a it's a one or the other,

0:30:51.000 --> 0:30:54.280
<v Speaker 1>whoever wins on Dynamite faces John Moxley in the tournament

0:30:54.800 --> 0:30:57.719
<v Speaker 1>and then Grand Slam swerven Or Glory versus the Acclaimed,

0:30:57.960 --> 0:30:59.880
<v Speaker 1>and that led to the main event, which was Dan

0:31:00.040 --> 0:31:04.080
<v Speaker 1>Garcia in his hometown Buffalo Boy against Wheeler Uni for

0:31:04.120 --> 0:31:07.000
<v Speaker 1>the r Age Peer title and uh, as I said

0:31:07.040 --> 0:31:10.040
<v Speaker 1>last night, my only criticism is these fans were not

0:31:10.120 --> 0:31:13.360
<v Speaker 1>into these rules. They just wanted to see these guys

0:31:13.440 --> 0:31:15.920
<v Speaker 1>fight and their guy win. And so by the end

0:31:15.960 --> 0:31:19.400
<v Speaker 1>they're like, Wheeler, you lost the point on a rope break.

0:31:19.440 --> 0:31:22.719
<v Speaker 1>The fans are like, Boa, we don't care about rope breaks.

0:31:23.600 --> 0:31:26.120
<v Speaker 1>But man, they had a great match. Fans were super

0:31:26.160 --> 0:31:30.680
<v Speaker 1>into Daniel Garcia. He kept going for his uh what's

0:31:30.720 --> 0:31:34.600
<v Speaker 1>he called it? The Dragon Tamer goes for it over

0:31:34.640 --> 0:31:36.920
<v Speaker 1>and over again and finally gets in the middle of

0:31:36.920 --> 0:31:40.760
<v Speaker 1>the ring, Wheeler Una taps out. Daniel Garcia has won

0:31:40.800 --> 0:31:43.640
<v Speaker 1>the championship in his hometown. Place goes crazy. They're all

0:31:43.680 --> 0:31:48.720
<v Speaker 1>freaking out. Brian Danielson comes out, he straps the belt

0:31:48.760 --> 0:31:52.800
<v Speaker 1>around Garcia's waist, he shakes his hand, and the final

0:31:52.880 --> 0:31:58.000
<v Speaker 1>shot is Chris Jericho coming out and he's furious. So

0:31:58.360 --> 0:32:01.760
<v Speaker 1>this builds up the Bran Danielson versus Chris Jericho match,

0:32:01.800 --> 0:32:03.600
<v Speaker 1>which is next in the tournament. Rematch from the pay

0:32:03.640 --> 0:32:09.400
<v Speaker 1>per view builds up the Garcia Jericho Brian Danielson storyline,

0:32:09.440 --> 0:32:13.680
<v Speaker 1>where is Daniel Garcia going to end up? And overall

0:32:14.040 --> 0:32:16.800
<v Speaker 1>give it. Here's the thing with this show. Here's the

0:32:16.800 --> 0:32:26.360
<v Speaker 1>thing with this show. Everybody Tony likes a plan. Tony

0:32:26.600 --> 0:32:33.840
<v Speaker 1>likes to book long term. Sunday messed everything up, and

0:32:33.880 --> 0:32:36.240
<v Speaker 1>so he had to come out here on Wednesday and

0:32:36.280 --> 0:32:37.920
<v Speaker 1>he had to do something that he hasn't had to

0:32:37.960 --> 0:32:40.840
<v Speaker 1>do a lot, and he needs experience in, and that

0:32:41.040 --> 0:32:45.640
<v Speaker 1>is find a way to pivot. And I thought that overall,

0:32:45.680 --> 0:32:48.200
<v Speaker 1>top to bottom booking wise, I thought he did an

0:32:48.240 --> 0:32:51.240
<v Speaker 1>excellent job pivoting on this show. It felt like a

0:32:51.320 --> 0:32:55.800
<v Speaker 1>hot show. There was not one see him punk Chant

0:32:55.880 --> 0:32:59.880
<v Speaker 1>on this entire show. There was no Elite, Kenny on

0:33:00.040 --> 0:33:05.200
<v Speaker 1>Mega Young Bucks, c M, punk A Steel, none of them.

0:33:05.240 --> 0:33:09.120
<v Speaker 1>And it felt like a hot program. You have you

0:33:09.160 --> 0:33:12.600
<v Speaker 1>still have tons of big stars, You've got a direction.

0:33:13.400 --> 0:33:15.200
<v Speaker 1>I thought you did an excellent job on this show.

0:33:17.320 --> 0:33:20.440
<v Speaker 1>I agree. Three and a half days ago, you know,

0:33:20.480 --> 0:33:23.719
<v Speaker 1>it was just nothing but carnage and chaos taking place.

0:33:23.880 --> 0:33:26.760
<v Speaker 1>We have three wrestling shows that take place, including a

0:33:26.800 --> 0:33:30.080
<v Speaker 1>pretty controversial finished for some people with Roman Reigns and

0:33:30.120 --> 0:33:32.720
<v Speaker 1>Drew McIntyre, and then by Sunday at two o'clock in

0:33:32.720 --> 0:33:35.920
<v Speaker 1>the morning Eastern time, nobody remembered any of it. Because

0:33:35.920 --> 0:33:37.880
<v Speaker 1>of everything that took place, and here's all of his

0:33:37.960 --> 0:33:40.720
<v Speaker 1>plans getting balled up and thrown into the trash can.

0:33:40.840 --> 0:33:43.920
<v Speaker 1>He's got legal issues, he's got personnel issues, all of

0:33:43.960 --> 0:33:46.600
<v Speaker 1>these headaches that have been He thought maybe could be

0:33:46.600 --> 0:33:49.280
<v Speaker 1>behind him after a great pay per view. Nope, that's

0:33:49.320 --> 0:33:52.960
<v Speaker 1>not the case. It just got worse. So pressure can

0:33:53.000 --> 0:33:56.480
<v Speaker 1>create diamonds. And I thought that was a shining show

0:33:56.560 --> 0:34:00.920
<v Speaker 1>last night. I don't like the constant down clock with

0:34:01.120 --> 0:34:04.000
<v Speaker 1>m JF and w W E. I get it. I

0:34:04.040 --> 0:34:06.640
<v Speaker 1>don't like it, but last night it did serve a

0:34:06.680 --> 0:34:11.080
<v Speaker 1>purpose for anybody that was looking for non in ring drama.

0:34:11.160 --> 0:34:13.080
<v Speaker 1>They got it last night. They weren't going to get

0:34:13.080 --> 0:34:15.400
<v Speaker 1>it with CM Punk and then talking about any of

0:34:15.440 --> 0:34:17.200
<v Speaker 1>that stuff that took place. But you got a little

0:34:17.200 --> 0:34:20.279
<v Speaker 1>bit of it with m JF. His promo was outstanding,

0:34:20.320 --> 0:34:22.680
<v Speaker 1>how he came out there, how he controlled the crowd.

0:34:23.040 --> 0:34:25.720
<v Speaker 1>He mocked Punk a little bit, you know, putting himself

0:34:25.800 --> 0:34:28.040
<v Speaker 1>up against the gate and going in there and all

0:34:28.040 --> 0:34:29.960
<v Speaker 1>that stuff. So you got a little bit of a

0:34:30.000 --> 0:34:32.560
<v Speaker 1>taste of it. But I thought it was excellent. And

0:34:32.560 --> 0:34:37.960
<v Speaker 1>then Moxley goes in there. Dusty Rhodes was you know,

0:34:38.120 --> 0:34:40.200
<v Speaker 1>chosen by the people. And I'm not saying that John

0:34:40.280 --> 0:34:44.560
<v Speaker 1>Moxley is Dusty Rhodes. I'm not, but he's got that

0:34:44.680 --> 0:34:47.600
<v Speaker 1>same sort of feel where the people just like them.

0:34:47.640 --> 0:34:49.920
<v Speaker 1>They've always liked him. People look at him as a

0:34:49.960 --> 0:34:53.400
<v Speaker 1>real dude. They can believe him, they can feel his

0:34:53.440 --> 0:34:55.719
<v Speaker 1>struggles and everything that he's gone through. That was the

0:34:55.800 --> 0:34:58.400
<v Speaker 1>whole part of last year with him and then getting

0:34:58.440 --> 0:35:01.839
<v Speaker 1>clean all that stuff. People related to this dude much

0:35:01.880 --> 0:35:03.920
<v Speaker 1>like Eddie Kingston. People related to him, and they have

0:35:04.080 --> 0:35:06.920
<v Speaker 1>chosen him, and he has picked up the banner and

0:35:07.000 --> 0:35:09.399
<v Speaker 1>obviously with the promos that he's been cutting about how

0:35:09.440 --> 0:35:14.040
<v Speaker 1>he feels about that place, he's your man. Maybe hangman

0:35:14.120 --> 0:35:17.320
<v Speaker 1>page was going to be that at one point. Maybe

0:35:17.320 --> 0:35:20.880
<v Speaker 1>he can still be that down the line, maybe dangerous whatever.

0:35:21.440 --> 0:35:24.680
<v Speaker 1>John Moxley is the heart and soul and for right

0:35:24.719 --> 0:35:28.719
<v Speaker 1>now the future of of of a w And he

0:35:28.800 --> 0:35:32.400
<v Speaker 1>was outstanding last night to start with that trio's match.

0:35:32.920 --> 0:35:35.399
<v Speaker 1>That was awesome. People got what they wanted. I thought

0:35:35.440 --> 0:35:37.800
<v Speaker 1>all that was good Penelope for it, like you mentioned,

0:35:38.160 --> 0:35:40.000
<v Speaker 1>does look a little bit better and we got the

0:35:40.000 --> 0:35:43.960
<v Speaker 1>women's champion on the program Simple match. I wonder if

0:35:44.000 --> 0:35:48.359
<v Speaker 1>Wardlow may actually start crossing paths with Stokely Hathaway since

0:35:48.400 --> 0:35:50.640
<v Speaker 1>he's acting as such a bully, and you have a

0:35:50.719 --> 0:35:54.120
<v Speaker 1>number of people that in theory Wardlow could get to

0:35:54.800 --> 0:35:58.120
<v Speaker 1>in a feud against w Morrissey or against an Ethan

0:35:58.160 --> 0:36:01.040
<v Speaker 1>Page or something like that. So I wonder about that.

0:36:01.080 --> 0:36:04.160
<v Speaker 1>And I also wonder about with the dynamic that's playing

0:36:04.160 --> 0:36:07.920
<v Speaker 1>out here with Brian Danielson in the Blackpool Combat Club

0:36:08.239 --> 0:36:11.480
<v Speaker 1>and their lust to get Daniel Garcia back to the

0:36:11.520 --> 0:36:15.880
<v Speaker 1>pro wrestling side, that Wheeler Utah, who, if I'm not mistaken,

0:36:15.960 --> 0:36:19.880
<v Speaker 1>I think pushed Daniel Bryan or vice versa with Danielson

0:36:20.320 --> 0:36:21.719
<v Speaker 1>kind of like rolled out of the ring and he

0:36:21.800 --> 0:36:25.640
<v Speaker 1>was gone. So I wonder, as Garcia starts to come

0:36:25.680 --> 0:36:28.600
<v Speaker 1>over to the other side, if we don't see Jericho

0:36:29.040 --> 0:36:32.400
<v Speaker 1>do something where he starts taking Wheeler, you do away

0:36:32.960 --> 0:36:35.040
<v Speaker 1>from the Blackpool Combat Club and you go ahead and

0:36:35.080 --> 0:36:38.280
<v Speaker 1>you do a double switch that way, so we'll see

0:36:38.560 --> 0:36:40.680
<v Speaker 1>you know. I again, I just thought last night the

0:36:40.719 --> 0:36:44.720
<v Speaker 1>crowd was great. Daniel Garcia. I thought that match was great.

0:36:45.120 --> 0:36:47.480
<v Speaker 1>West Side Gun going out there. Either you know you

0:36:47.560 --> 0:36:49.360
<v Speaker 1>like hip hop or you don't you like result or

0:36:49.440 --> 0:36:51.880
<v Speaker 1>you don't you know for those that do. That was

0:36:51.920 --> 0:36:54.480
<v Speaker 1>a great moment and kind of wild to see him

0:36:54.520 --> 0:36:56.680
<v Speaker 1>on TV. At the same time, we're getting an Action

0:36:56.760 --> 0:37:00.359
<v Speaker 1>Bronson match with with two point oh and with hook

0:37:00.520 --> 0:37:03.799
<v Speaker 1>in Queens. So you know, I'm not saying that things

0:37:03.840 --> 0:37:06.000
<v Speaker 1>are rosy right now, because they certainly are not. But

0:37:06.080 --> 0:37:08.640
<v Speaker 1>when you just look at the in ring products of

0:37:08.800 --> 0:37:11.560
<v Speaker 1>both A E W and w W E, if they

0:37:11.560 --> 0:37:13.920
<v Speaker 1>can get out of their own ways, and obviously a

0:37:14.239 --> 0:37:16.040
<v Speaker 1>W right now needs to do a lot more in

0:37:16.239 --> 0:37:17.920
<v Speaker 1>w W E, but if they can get out of

0:37:17.960 --> 0:37:21.439
<v Speaker 1>their own way, you know, you can't control what people say,

0:37:21.440 --> 0:37:24.040
<v Speaker 1>you can't control what people do in a locker room

0:37:24.160 --> 0:37:26.720
<v Speaker 1>or away from you, but you can control what happens

0:37:26.719 --> 0:37:28.600
<v Speaker 1>in that ring. And I thought they gave everybody what

0:37:28.640 --> 0:37:33.600
<v Speaker 1>they wanted last night. This person here says, uh, it's

0:37:33.680 --> 0:37:37.520
<v Speaker 1>got some of these messages here. The first message person says,

0:37:37.800 --> 0:37:40.560
<v Speaker 1>I hear the music. Isn't it time for a commercial? Yes?

0:37:41.280 --> 0:38:07.520
<v Speaker 1>Back in a moment Observer Live, Back in the show.

0:38:07.560 --> 0:38:10.359
<v Speaker 1>Brian Elber is here Wrestling Observer Live mixup for bb

0:38:10.440 --> 0:38:13.440
<v Speaker 1>also Wrestling Observer dot Com. Well, we have a lot

0:38:13.480 --> 0:38:17.120
<v Speaker 1>to get into tonight. Brian and Vinny show we'll talk

0:38:17.120 --> 0:38:21.480
<v Speaker 1>all about a W dynamite and n X T two

0:38:21.560 --> 0:38:25.839
<v Speaker 1>point oh, good old Vinny's thoughts and uh, yesterday we

0:38:25.920 --> 0:38:29.920
<v Speaker 1>had a figure for Daily Filthy for Daily with Tom Lawler,

0:38:30.760 --> 0:38:34.640
<v Speaker 1>where for all of you that don't like me, good

0:38:34.640 --> 0:38:41.719
<v Speaker 1>show for you. Tom bragged incessantly about his victory over me.

0:38:43.040 --> 0:38:45.279
