Speaker 4: This of North Carolina has always been rolled, and we'd
Speaker 4: like to keep it that way. There's a saying that
Speaker 4: a farmer's last crop is housing. When they get to
Speaker 4: the end of the farm's life, they sell it and
Speaker 4: develop it. With solar projects, that's one more they can harvest,
Speaker 4: generating a stable income for them and.
Speaker 3: Tax revenue for our community.
Speaker 4: We would hate to see this place become another suburbia.
Speaker 4: In this way, we don't have to. A solar farm
Speaker 4: is still a farm, and that's what we want around here.

Speaker 1: Oh the YouTube chat? Oh my god, you're on that one.
Speaker 3: Yeah, PERUSA every day. I figure you are the sheriff
Speaker 3: of Twitch, so I shall set sergeant of YouTube.
Speaker 1: So who are you there?
Speaker 2: Tom?
Speaker 1: I don't see your name. I'm pretty sure i'm looking
Speaker 1: at it right now. I don't see any Tom Lawler there,
Speaker 1: Johnny California.
Speaker 3: Buddy, I'm on there. Don't worry anyway. It's not too
Speaker 3: much as going on.
Speaker 1: Everyone's saying hi to you, but I don't. I don't
Speaker 1: see your messages. Maybe I have you blocked unless you're
Speaker 1: uh no, you definitely are not Funky pluck. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: think you're on the wrong chat. Dude, I think you're
Speaker 1: on the wrong chat.
Speaker 3: Listen, bonehead, I'm in the right chat.
Speaker 1: Hey.
Speaker 3: Just because you don't see it doesn't mean anything. Hey,
Speaker 3: YouTube anyway, nobody cares move on? You talk about on?
Speaker 3: Hold on?
Speaker 1: Would you shut up for a second? Hey, YouTube chat
Speaker 1: have you seen Tom in there? Find out here? Oh,
Speaker 1: look at that. I don't see Tom. I don't see
Speaker 1: Tom yet.
Speaker 3: So so somebody just goes we'll keep reading, Buddy.
Speaker 1: Riff raff. What's Tom's name? I don't tell you, buddy,
Speaker 1: don't know what to tell you. Once you type something
Speaker 1: in there, then we'll see what comes up. Yeah, no
Speaker 1: one knows what your name is. Oh, there you go,
Speaker 1: you bone heads. You got a check mark next to
Speaker 1: your name. That's pretty fancy. Are you like special or something?
Speaker 1: Why do you got a check mark?
Speaker 3: Dave?
Speaker 1: Wow? Okay, Well, anyway, we got a W Dynamite three
Speaker 1: hundred tonight and uh, I mean got five matches, a
Speaker 1: nounced six actually because it's dynamite and collision taping. So
Speaker 1: uh that that's good that they announced it before the
Speaker 1: show on Wednesday. Usually they wait till afterwards. But we
Speaker 1: got we got six matches that are official for the
Speaker 1: show tonight, and uh, and they've sold a lot of tickets.
Speaker 1: There's a very good chance I could have four thousand
Speaker 1: people in the building tonight, which is place an excellent number.
Speaker 1: Let's see. Uh where is it tonight? I think it's Uh?
Speaker 1: Is it Pittsburgh? Or no, that's uh, that's where w
Speaker 1: w E was. Where's Dynamite three hundred The Toyota Arena, Ontario, California,
Speaker 1: the Young Bucks hometown basically.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it's way out in the suburbs actually, which
Speaker 3: like if you live in LA to go to that show,
Speaker 3: that's quite a chore.
Speaker 1: But yeah, five thousand tickets. Actually, I apologize.
Speaker 3: That's good for that arena. New Japan has earned shows
Speaker 3: there in the past, maybe about one a year, and
Speaker 3: I don't think they've even come close to five thousand
Speaker 3: the last few times.
Speaker 1: So well, according to wrestle Tics, they're year to date average,
Speaker 1: which I presume takes into account of pay per views
Speaker 1: I would think, or maybe that's just for Dynamite, But
Speaker 1: it's thirty three hundred and this one is fixing to
Speaker 1: hit five thousand, so very good number. We've got Okata
Speaker 1: versus Coda Aboushie taking place tonight. I was gonna say,
Speaker 1: we'll find out how Coda Bushy is looking tonight, but
Speaker 1: he's wrestling Okata, so we'll see the we're gonna see.
Speaker 1: The AW television version of this match is we're gonna
Speaker 1: see tonight, and that's nothing against AW that is a
Speaker 1: statement on Okada and Koda Bushie mostly Okada. We got
Speaker 1: Mercedes against Mina Shirakawa for the TBS title. We got
Speaker 1: what is described here, and I don't know if they're
Speaker 1: advertising in this way. Somebody tell me if they're advertising
Speaker 1: it this way or if this is just from our site.
Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, it's advertising. I know what you're
Speaker 3: talking about because I saw the graphic.
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, in a Heroes Versus Villains a six man
Speaker 1: tag it is Bendido, Roderick Strong and Kyle O'Reilly versus
Speaker 1: Takeshta and the Young Box, which sounds frickin' awesome.
Speaker 3: It's a tie in with Superman.
Speaker 1: I why, Okay? We got another Heroes versus Villains match
Speaker 1: Swerve and Ospray versus Realistico and the Beast Mortos, which
Speaker 1: sounds awesome. And we have the All In Casino Men's
Speaker 1: Gauntlet Qualifier. The winner of this match is number two
Speaker 1: in the Gauntlet, MJF. Brody King, Anthony Bowens, ar Fox.
Speaker 1: I just have this feeling. I have this feeling it's
Speaker 1: either Anthony Bowenes or ar Fox. One of these two
Speaker 1: guys that can't catch a win is winning. Tonight, and
Speaker 1: I presume that MJF ends up getting screwed by Little Mystico,
Speaker 1: but who knows.
Speaker 3: We'll see whoever ends up winning that Casino Battle Royal
Speaker 3: Gauntlet at all in they really need to be careful
Speaker 3: about this Big Bill that's going through Congress right now
Speaker 3: because if you're a gambler, you could get hit with
Speaker 3: huge penalties upon winning. So they better start lobbying. Wow, DC,
Speaker 3: you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: Well, aw, Collision one hundred also has FTR versus The Outrunners,
Speaker 1: which again I don't know why they didn't just do
Speaker 1: this match in Kent because they would have been a
Speaker 1: great match with incredible heat because you know, Truth is
Speaker 1: from the area. But literally they just did a long
Speaker 1: interview to set up the match in a different town. Whatever.
Speaker 1: So that's coming up for Collision one hundred, which does
Speaker 1: air this Saturday Saturday. Now you've got everyone in the
Speaker 1: chat talking about Big Bill, that not that Big Bill.
Speaker 1: Are we sure that Big Bill didn't just pass through Congress?
Speaker 3: Miss Whoever wins that Casino Battle Royal better watch out
Speaker 3: for Big Bill?
Speaker 2: Okay?
Speaker 1: All right, Well that's the lineup for the show coming
Speaker 1: up tonight, and we'll review that with Dave later on
Speaker 1: this evening. Should be a fun time as always, so
Speaker 1: check it out everybody, you know. By the way, Tom,
Speaker 1: I'm still upset that I'm not going down to Vegas
Speaker 1: to go to that clown motel and the UFO Highway
Speaker 1: with you because of your current physical state. But I
Speaker 1: did get to go see George Nori literally in concert
Speaker 1: on Saturday night, and I wish you would have been
Speaker 1: there with me, but you weren't. So you're gonna have
Speaker 1: to listen to all of the details on after Dark
Speaker 1: Radio two Pacific five Eastern today on Sports Byline, YouTube
Speaker 1: and Twitch, So yes you will, So please check it
Speaker 1: out and wait till you see the picture I'm gonna
Speaker 1: use for the front page because I'm gonna talk about
Speaker 1: you've seen You've seen bigfoot footprints, right, Yeah, Well I
Speaker 1: saw something you ain't gonna believe. We'll talk about it today.
Speaker 3: Hold on, yes too, cold Scorpio.
Speaker 1: Tom, just listen to the show today, all right. Aw
Speaker 1: is not in Wembley for all in this year. They're
Speaker 1: at Globe Life Stadium in Texas. And you know, I
Speaker 1: got a lot of heat because I was I was
Speaker 1: deciding whether to go or not and I ultimately decided,
Speaker 1: but I wasn't going to go, and I mentioned there's
Speaker 1: just so much to do. I mean, there's a Ring
Speaker 1: of Honors show, there's three WWE shows, There's probably gonna
Speaker 1: be a six hour a w show, Brian.
Speaker 3: Not only that, the six hundred and sixty fourth annual
Speaker 3: kirk pin R Turkish Oil Wrestling Championships, the Olympics of
Speaker 3: Turkish Oil Wrestling takes place this weekend, about hours and hours.
Speaker 1: So the point is I mention all of that, and
Speaker 1: then people got mad. You know, it's all WWE's fault.
Speaker 1: They're running all these shows. You know this and that,
Speaker 1: and I mean you realize when you go to a
Speaker 1: WWE WrestleMania, there's there's like seventy five other shows that weekend.
Speaker 1: I still managed to go. I think the biggest issue
Speaker 1: is it's really expensive to fly to Texas. I mean,
Speaker 1: and between between flying to Texas and rooms and everything
Speaker 1: like that, we were looking like over a thousand dollars
Speaker 1: and we're not doing like a live Q and A
Speaker 1: or anything to you know, offset it. So no, it's
Speaker 1: much easier to stay at home and cover all of
Speaker 1: these shows. If the show were in Vegas. That'd be
Speaker 1: one thing, but it wasn't in Vegas. If the show
Speaker 1: was in Wembley and we had a live Q and
Speaker 1: A and you know I had one hundred and fifty
Speaker 1: people show up, that's another thing. But no, I just
Speaker 1: I was not going to pay a thousand dollars to
Speaker 1: do a last minute trip for all in. But anyway,
Speaker 1: the point is it's not in Wembley. And Tony Kahn
Speaker 1: on the Rich Eisend Show said it will be back
Speaker 1: in Wembley next year. Cold Play, he said, had booked
Speaker 1: the weekend out years in advance, and that's why they
Speaker 1: adn't go back this year because of Cold Play booking
Speaker 1: it out years in advance. So that's the story. Back
Speaker 1: in the moment with more Observer Live.
Speaker 2: You are listening to Wrestling Observer Life with Brian Alvarez
Speaker 2: and Mike Simper vv on the Sports Byline Broadcasting Network.
Speaker 1: Now, I got blokes, I don't believe me because they're
Speaker 1: trying to price stuff out. This guy goes, I live
Speaker 1: in Denver the front Well, listen, first off, I don't
Speaker 1: live in Denver, I live in I live in Seattle.
Speaker 1: I gotta go from Seattle to Texas. I gotta fly
Speaker 1: in Friday because it's a long way away. And then
Speaker 1: I'm saying there Friday Saturday, I would go home Sunday.
Speaker 1: So you're talking two nights in hotel and a flight
Speaker 1: from Seattle. Even on Frontier, it's it's what do you
Speaker 1: want me to do? Brother? And we sleep on on
Speaker 1: the side of the road. Huh. I'm gonna drive to
Speaker 1: Denver and fly out from there? What do you want
Speaker 1: me to do? Not going? Okay? And it's not w
Speaker 1: W e's fault, just the way it is, all right.
Speaker 3: You don't want to blame goal old Burg.
Speaker 1: Why would I blame Goldberg? What does he have to
Speaker 1: do with anything? What are you talking about?
Speaker 3: Well, you gotta stay home so you'll watch that Saturday
Speaker 3: night's main event.
Speaker 1: I could watch it from there while you're in the arena.
Speaker 1: Well no, but I mean I can't watch it while
Speaker 1: I'm watching the other show on my couch. I gotta
Speaker 1: watch it afterwards. It's not like I can't go and
Speaker 1: also watch everything. Okay, Hey, I could do that, but
Speaker 1: it's a lot of stuff to do, and it would
Speaker 1: involve a lot of flying and a lot of paying
Speaker 1: for rooms and uh and this is Texas that we're
Speaker 1: talking about here, So I'm not going iver leave me alone.
Speaker 3: I don't know why you have to blame Goldberg.
Speaker 1: But Chad Gables undergoing gone surgery. He'll be out of
Speaker 1: action for quite a while. He says, what's up, dudes,
Speaker 1: I made it. He said he would be back quicker
Speaker 1: than you can say gracias. So is it true, Tom,
Speaker 1: That'll Grande Americano is the speed champion.
Speaker 3: To my knowledge, yes, hmm.
Speaker 1: Interesting, Well, luckily he was on the show Monday. Oh,
Speaker 1: El Grande Americano, so my guess is that he is
Speaker 1: going to be uh defending that title.
Speaker 3: You know, he looked more to me like El venki Americano.
Speaker 1: He looked like El Grande Americano had been as stretched
Speaker 1: on one of those racks, you know, those gimmicks that
Speaker 1: they put you on and then kind of stretched. He was.
Speaker 1: He was. He was just an elongated version of El
Speaker 1: Grande Americano. El elongate Americano was what he was. He
Speaker 1: was elongated. It was weird.
Speaker 3: It's a nice try, but it's not my fault. You
Speaker 3: didn't get the Starbucks joke.
Speaker 1: We've got the mizz And this was reported by Brian
Speaker 1: Alvarez to his subscribers on X he's uh, he should
Speaker 1: be back soon. They finished season one and two of
Speaker 1: American Gladiators, which is being taped in London, because why not,
Speaker 1: and he should be back soon. Everyone's also talking about,
Speaker 1: well what about I don't know about Wardlow? What do
Speaker 1: you want information about Wardlow? I don't know. I don't
Speaker 1: know what that guy's been doing. He's been gone forever. Yes,
Speaker 1: there are a lot of stories about Wardlow, but there's
Speaker 1: a lot of stories about a lot of people in
Speaker 1: aw And the fact is, when I see the guy,
Speaker 1: I'll believe he's back. Until then, I don't know what's
Speaker 1: up with this guy. But apparently he was also on
Speaker 1: American Gladiators in London. Him, Camille, your your main man, Boogs,
Speaker 1: Jessica Rodin, and Jesse Godters. They were five of the
Speaker 1: sixteen gladiators in this reboot. Mis was the host. Can
Speaker 1: you believe it?
Speaker 3: Yes? I could not believe if the Mis was if
Speaker 3: you were a gladiator, that'd be different. Yeah, Boogs, I
Speaker 3: think has found the perfect job. Boogs and Wardlow, you
Speaker 3: know what I mean? Sure, maybe Camille as well.
Speaker 1: I don't know. That's another one who vanished. That's somebody
Speaker 1: who was benched. I hate to tell you guys benched.
Speaker 6: Ye.
Speaker 3: You know what actually would have been even better for
Speaker 3: boogs would have been Battle Dome. Oh yeah, that was
Speaker 3: still around. Yes, maybe we should we should have gone
Speaker 3: back and watched the mold Battle Dome.
Speaker 1: I think we should watch some of the new season
Speaker 1: of American Gladiators with old Miz. I mentioned I'd never
Speaker 1: watched American Gladiators in my life. What Yeah, And then
Speaker 1: someone said, actually, you and Vinnie reviewed one of the
Speaker 1: shows that Hulkgan hosted, and I now, I very very
Speaker 1: vaguely remember this now, but it certainly made no impression whatsoever.
Speaker 3: Clearly you never watched the one that Rico Konstantino won.
Speaker 1: Nah, Yeah, didn't form care.
Speaker 3: I was busy.
Speaker 1: I was busy being an athlete. Didn't need to watch
Speaker 1: it on television.
Speaker 3: You wouldn't make out Coladiators.
Speaker 1: Everybody always says that, hey, they talk a big game,
Speaker 1: you know, they talk a big game.
Speaker 3: But you couldn't even win the one that was on Nickelodeon.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he tried tell me more.
Speaker 3: You wouldn't make it up that agro crag.
Speaker 1: Yeah, your words don't bother me, Tom, your your your ignorance.
Speaker 1: Adam Copeland posted a statement on Tuesday, his thirty third
Speaker 1: anniversary in wrestling, thirty three years he has been doing this.
Speaker 1: He had his first match July one, nineteen ninety two,
Speaker 1: began training with Ron Hutchinson and Sweet Daddy Siki Gully.
Speaker 1: He could have been in the White Wuff only he
Speaker 1: a little closer, he posts on Instagram, saying, on Canada Day,
Speaker 1: thirty three years ago, I made my wrestling debut in
Speaker 1: Oakland Raiders, Zoobas and a pair of Converse Nowhere to
Speaker 1: go but up, he said, I wouldn't say that he
Speaker 1: didn't start in the White Wuf everywhere you can think of,
Speaker 1: from Moose Landing, Monterey, Blood Vein. What's with these weird
Speaker 1: names in Canada? What's up with these people? Been a long, fruitful, soul,
Speaker 1: expanding soul, diminishing, amazing, frustrating, exhausting, exhilarating journey over three decades.
Speaker 1: He says, I won't last a lot longer, so I
Speaker 1: shall soak in every second. Thank you for coming along
Speaker 1: for this ride. Well, he better lasts longer because they
Speaker 1: got a whole run with him and Christian for those
Speaker 1: tag titles. I mean, the way this is going, he's
Speaker 1: gonna have to be seventy. So we'll see when he
Speaker 1: comes back. Think anyone special was gonna be back tonight
Speaker 1: on Dynamite three hundred. Tom, it's a special show.
Speaker 3: I myself am hoping for Britt Baker.
Speaker 1: Yeah, to make I wouldn't hold my breath on that one.
Speaker 1: But who knows. I'm gonna do something?
Speaker 3: Does it include hosting the show?
Speaker 1: All right? Dynamite Episode one? This was the card Cody
Speaker 1: Rhodes and Sammy Gavara. Okay, Sammy could be there. MJF
Speaker 1: and Brennon Cutler, you could run that back, except you're
Speaker 1: not because m Jeff Sordina match Pack and Hangman Page.
Speaker 1: Hangman can be there.
Speaker 3: We haven't seen Pocket a long time.
Speaker 1: I think he's injured. Rijo and Nyla Rose, which was
Speaker 1: a singles match for the inaugural AW Women's title and
Speaker 1: the main event the Young Bucks and Kenny Omega versus Jericho,
Speaker 1: Santana and Ortiz. I could see Jericho making a return
Speaker 1: on Dynamite three hundred, but I guess we'll see. I
Speaker 1: guess we'll see who ends up being there, all right,
Speaker 1: Ruby soho back training again. She had a baby with
Speaker 1: cool Hand Ange and she's getting back into the ring
Speaker 1: and training for her big return. So best of luck
Speaker 1: to her and hopefully she'll be back pretty soon. Their daughter, Evie,
Speaker 1: was born on Halloween. What a day to be born Halloween,
Speaker 1: so that's good news. And also apparently uh Maria is
Speaker 1: gonna be having a third baby, so congratulations to them
Speaker 1: as well. A lot of good baby news.
Speaker 3: A miracle.
Speaker 1: You're Maine, I would say your main man, but she's
Speaker 1: a female. But it is twenty twenty five. Siri will
Speaker 1: be taking a break from stardom, says, I've been wrestling
Speaker 1: for seventeen years, thought about it long and hard. I've
Speaker 1: decided to take a break from stardom. I will train overseas,
Speaker 1: level up my game even more. My loss to Sorrey
Speaker 1: was really frustrating. Yes, said sorry versus Siri. I won't
Speaker 1: go out like this. I want to hold that IWGP again.
Speaker 1: That's why I made this decision. I'm sorry to everyone
Speaker 1: who's looking forward to my parents in the ring. I
Speaker 1: will be back in a stardom a ring one day.
Speaker 1: What does this mean, Tom? She going to AWWWE MLW.
Speaker 1: What do you think.
Speaker 3: I mean, I was quite surprised when I read this news,
Speaker 3: but you know, I don't know. I don't know where
Speaker 3: she fits in in anywhere at the moment when I
Speaker 3: think about it, but especially in AW. I guess I
Speaker 3: could see her going to NXT, but I really didn't
Speaker 3: feel like that was what was coming out of this statement.
Speaker 3: You know, maybe she's gonna do similar to what me,
Speaker 3: you Yamasha has done and work a ton of different shows.
Speaker 3: Maybe maybe I'll get lucky and I'll get to see
Speaker 3: her in MLW, But I don't know, but I'm gonna
Speaker 3: be watching regardless. I'll tell you that much. Surrey one
Speaker 3: of the best wrestlers on this planet. If you ask me,
Speaker 3: and you did so, I'm telling.
Speaker 1: You, well, she did say she was gonna level up.
Speaker 1: I can't imagine. I can't imagine her on level up?
Speaker 1: Can you imagine?
Speaker 3: Maybe she'll be in season three of LFG.
Speaker 1: Oh my God, Syrian LFG bully correcting her on her technique?
Speaker 3: Is it time for her to evolve?
Speaker 5: God?
Speaker 1: Anty Mellow hopes tod Aw brings in those women's tag
Speaker 1: team titles. I think there's about eight titles that AW
Speaker 1: should get rid of and then bring in the women's
Speaker 1: tag team titles. I would be fine with that. We
Speaker 1: certainly don't need multiple sets, just too many belts, but

Speaker 1: Like simper vv is no longer on the program, but
Speaker 1: old habits die hard. Hopefully he'll make his triumphant return someday,
Speaker 1: But in the meantime we have filthy Tom. How are
Speaker 1: you Tom? Did you watch NXT last night?
Speaker 3: Did you have a glitched you?
Speaker 1: I have said that so many times it just comes out,
Speaker 1: all right, now, are you uh? And you watch NXT?
Speaker 1: I like this show?
Speaker 3: I did you ask me this every single week?
Speaker 1: Well, sometimes things come up.
Speaker 3: No, man, I hey, if I'm on the show, I'm
Speaker 3: watching whatever's on the night before, hook or by crook,
Speaker 3: no matter how good or bad it is.
Speaker 1: On the subject of semper vv sometimes I'd ask him
Speaker 1: and you never knew the answer. But you're telling me
Speaker 1: you're always gonna watch NXT. You know what that means,
Speaker 1: don't you. That means something's gonna happen next week and
Speaker 1: you're not gonna be able to watch NXT. And you
Speaker 1: can to explain how it was a one time thing
Speaker 1: and you always watch the show and blah blah blah.
Speaker 3: I didn't say I always watched n XT. I said
Speaker 3: I always watched whatever's the night before, and sometimes the
Speaker 3: days get switched around.
Speaker 1: Well, what do you think of this show?
Speaker 3: I thought this show was there, really, I thought it happened.
Speaker 3: It was fine. It moved some storylines along, but it's
Speaker 3: not like I was dying for more once it was over.
Speaker 1: Wow. Well it opened up with Joe Hendry and wes Lee.
Speaker 3: What you're you? Okay? What go ahead?
Speaker 1: Listen, Hey, i gotta love hate relationship with this show.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna tell you this show was good if
Speaker 1: it sucked, because there are times when it sucks, and
Speaker 1: I'm gonna let you know about it. I thought this
Speaker 1: show was fine. Maybe I'm good.
Speaker 3: I said. That's essentially what I said. I said it
Speaker 3: was fine.
Speaker 1: I happened it was bored.
Speaker 3: Well, thank you.
Speaker 1: Joe Andrey and wes Lee had a match and uh,
Speaker 1: I mean, the one thing I will say about this
Speaker 1: show is my god, this this crowd was on fire
Speaker 1: for this show. Great heat for this match. And the
Speaker 1: most amazing thing is the most over guy in this
Speaker 1: match and maybe on this show was Santana, who's had
Speaker 1: like four appearances ever in NXT and Tyson and Tyreek
Speaker 1: try to interfere in Santana Randa to take him out,
Speaker 1: and this it was like stone Cold Steve Aston showed up.
Speaker 1: They were going wild for Santana.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because if you don't see his face or like
Speaker 3: holy crap. Roman Reigns just ran in and sort of
Speaker 3: beating somebody up.
Speaker 1: Well, Joe his tennis huge.
Speaker 3: He looks awesome out there.
Speaker 1: He got the he got the win, and they will
Speaker 1: be facing off for the TNA title with Trick in
Speaker 1: a three way coming up at Slammiversary. Then we had
Speaker 1: a segment with Soul and Zaria and.
Speaker 3: Tatum.
Speaker 1: Tatum and Okay, Now, this is one of those things
Speaker 1: on the show that like, I will critique. So Soul
Speaker 1: and Tzari, as far as I know, are babyfaces. Izzy
Speaker 1: is a heel and Tatum is a is a babyface,
Speaker 1: or at least the fans love her. Okay. So the
Speaker 1: story is that the babyfaces are upset that Tatum is
Speaker 1: cozying up with a heel. Okay. The problem is, if
Speaker 1: you actually watch the show, which I do, Sol and
Speaker 1: Zaria are just they're so mean to Tatum all the time,
Speaker 1: and Izzy is nice to her all the time, and
Speaker 1: so like, as a viewer, I'm supposed to be upset
Speaker 1: that Tatum is actually going along with a person who's
Speaker 1: really nice to her all the time. So this was weird.
Speaker 1: She left with Izzy. We had Luca coming out for
Speaker 1: a promo and then Tony came out and they went
Speaker 1: back and forth arguing, and then Stacks came out, and
Speaker 1: long story short, Luca ends up punching out Tony d
Speaker 1: but then he turns and he punches out Stacks and
Speaker 1: he reveals my loyalty is only to myself and then
Speaker 1: he leaves and Vic Joseph says, we are left with
Speaker 1: more questions and answers. I thought, no, we're not, Vic,
Speaker 1: I know everything. Now, what do you mean we're in
Speaker 1: more questions and answers? He answered all the questions. He
Speaker 1: isn't with either guy, He's with himself. But Vic in storyline,
Speaker 1: funny thing is like Vic. I actually like Vic as
Speaker 1: an announcer, but he says stupid stuff all the time.
Speaker 1: I don't know why I give him a pass. Maybe
Speaker 1: because he seems like a nice guy. I don't know,
Speaker 1: but this was a dumb thing to say. We had
Speaker 1: some uh setup for this Yoshiki Ino Moro versus Jasper
Speaker 1: Troy match. The winner gets Obafemi, which made me really
Speaker 1: mad a couple of weeks ago, but it turned out fine. Tonight,
Speaker 1: Milesbourne beat Lexus King. Milesbourne has a new finish, the Zigzag.
Speaker 1: Can you believe it. You need a new finish.
Speaker 3: Brother, Well, and it was mistimed, yeah, which was even worse.
Speaker 1: But did ever tell you that I think I'm the
Speaker 1: guy that named the Zigzag?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 1: Yes, Dolph Ziggler debuted like twenty twenty five years ago
Speaker 1: or whatever, and I was on the phone with somebody
Speaker 1: there and they were like, we're trying to come up
Speaker 1: with a name for Ziggler's finisher. You got anything. I
Speaker 1: was like, I don't know, what about the Zigzag? And
Speaker 1: next thing, you know, that's the name of his finish,
Speaker 1: which I think, by the way, he absolutely hated that name.
Speaker 3: So I was gonna say, like, you owe it this person.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm sorry, dog Graude, I'm sorry Nick. That was
Speaker 1: my fault. Laney Reid and THEA Hale, Umm, it is
Speaker 1: all right. The problem is that THEA she was she's
Speaker 1: a good worker, and she was so over when she
Speaker 1: was and Chase You, and then they killed off Chase You.
Speaker 1: They killed off her association, and she is just floundering
Speaker 1: and nobody really cares about her. They always put her
Speaker 1: with people that are more popular, like anyway. So the
Speaker 1: finish is Laney tries to get the pin using the ropes,
Speaker 1: the rev catches her. She then uses the ropes a
Speaker 1: second time and doesn't get caught. That's the finish.
Speaker 3: Wasn't she a babyface when she debuted.
Speaker 1: Thea No Laney?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: God only knows, dude, She's only been on like three shows.
Speaker 3: She came out from the crowd that one time, and
Speaker 3: I think then the next week she had a title
Speaker 3: match and she was clearly the babyface. I don't know, man,
Speaker 3: And now she's a cheating and you're asking me this
Speaker 3: southern a sassy Southern bell cheat and heel athlete.
Speaker 1: Exactly. Charlie and Tavian had a meeting. Tavian wants a
Speaker 1: match with just like he gave to Miles, and if
Speaker 1: and if he wins, he's out of the No Quarter
Speaker 1: Catch Crew, And Charlie says, if you want it, that's fine,
Speaker 1: but this conversation we're having it will not happen again
Speaker 1: after I win. And they shook hands because there's a
Speaker 1: there's an ironclad contract in the No Quarter Catch Crew.
Speaker 1: Maybe you could join the No Quarter Catch Crew, Tom,
Speaker 1: because it appears to be like a guaranteed contract and
Speaker 1: based on like you know, Ren Sinclair, like you never
Speaker 1: have to wrestle just have to stand there and get
Speaker 1: paid by Charlie. I think it sounds like a good deal.
Speaker 1: Why are you looking at me like that? Because I
Speaker 1: dare try to find a way to get you paid
Speaker 1: to not have to do anything? How dare I? You
Speaker 1: don't even have to do commentary Soul and Zaria versus
Speaker 1: Izzy and Tatum, we had another Vic moment. Here is
Speaker 1: he in Tate are partners? Okay? Tatum has chosen to
Speaker 1: team with Izzy as her partner in a tag team match.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, near the end, Zaria goes for a spear,
Speaker 1: but Tatum shoves Izzy out of the way and Zaria
Speaker 1: spears her own partner, and Vic says Tatum just showed
Speaker 1: her true colors. I was like, what, No, she saved
Speaker 1: her partner in a tag team match. What are you
Speaker 1: talking about? And then Izy pin Soul, which is setting
Speaker 1: up a North American title match for later on, we
Speaker 1: had another Chase Youse segment.
Speaker 3: So yes, assuming Tatum is gonna end up in the culling, I.
Speaker 1: Mean it looked like they accepted her into the culling,
Speaker 1: and then everybody cheered when she joined the culling, So
Speaker 1: whatever cares I just love the argument. What you want
Speaker 1: us to just you know, change everybody babyface and held
Speaker 1: that this crowd decides. Well, you know, I get what
Speaker 1: you're saying, but at the same time, you're running the
Speaker 1: same building every week in front of the same people.
Speaker 1: So maybe if you have a couple of people that
Speaker 1: the fans are not going to boo, maybe it's okay
Speaker 1: to have them be babyfaces.
Speaker 3: I'm saying, Hey, I'm here to cheer Jada Parker every
Speaker 3: time she's on TV.
Speaker 1: So Hank and Tank stormed in. Apparently they're fine. They're
Speaker 1: defending the titles against the Culling next week.
Speaker 3: Well, it could be one of those situations. Maybe one
Speaker 3: of the movie gets taken out before the match could
Speaker 3: be and they have to fight from underneath and the
Speaker 3: Culling wing.
Speaker 1: Well, if Tank gets taken out, that's your answer, because
Speaker 1: he's the one that I thought was hurt, but I
Speaker 1: could be wrong. Then we had my favorite thing on
Speaker 1: the show inan Mura and Jasper Troy. Jasper Troy is
Speaker 1: like fine, you know, he's like a real big dude,
Speaker 1: and he has a few real big dude moves, like
Speaker 1: he does the black Hole slam, he does the joke slam.
Speaker 1: You know, he does all the moves of the guys
Speaker 1: that trained him. But this freaking ina Mura is a
Speaker 1: good worker, and like you know, he's one of those
Speaker 1: guys that he does a total Japanese style, which, like
Speaker 1: in theory, is supposed to not get over in this country.
Speaker 1: And like in w W A or whatever, Dude, he's
Speaker 1: out there firing up and doing fighting spirit. This place
Speaker 1: is going wild. And he totally carried this match. He
Speaker 1: carried Jasper, he beat him with the big splash, and
Speaker 1: now he's going on to face Oba Femi for the title.
Speaker 1: I love this ina Mura. He's awesome and this was
Speaker 1: a real good match, and then him and Oba had
Speaker 1: to stare down and then Javon beat up the gold
Speaker 1: Jasper Troy. I guess, uh, poor Javon's got another job
Speaker 1: he's got to be doing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's in a mirror of rules.
Speaker 1: He's awesome, isn't he.
Speaker 3: The only thing I don't like is that it makes
Speaker 3: me wonder if you know he's not long for an.
Speaker 1: XT Well in storyline, he went back to Japan, but
Speaker 1: then like one way back a week later. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: don't know, maybe he's coming over permanently, I hope. So
Speaker 1: he's great. So then we had Jordan Grace doing to
Speaker 1: promo and she's interrupted by Fatal Influence and they go
Speaker 1: back and forth and a brawl breaks out and Blake
Speaker 1: Monroe runs down to make the save, and the heels
Speaker 1: bail Ava announces Falan Fallon and Jac Maybe that could
Speaker 1: be their team name, Falan Fallon and Jac. They're gonna
Speaker 1: be facing Jordan and Blake at Great American Bash. Fatal
Speaker 1: Influence hit the ring agame got laid out again. So
Speaker 1: for those of you wondering, I mean, I'm pretty sure
Speaker 1: Blake Monroe is a babyface. I think she's much better
Speaker 1: served as a heel. But in the short term, hey,
Speaker 1: she's gonna get cheers. He may as well have her
Speaker 1: be a babyface early. But she is a babyface in
Speaker 1: this uh, in this scenario here. So that was NXT.
Speaker 1: The other thoughts, would you like not like.
Speaker 3: Like I said, it was fine, it wasn't it was there?
Speaker 1: No, it wasn't.
Speaker 3: It was better than three hours of SmackDown.
Speaker 1: If there's ever a show that's never just there, it's
Speaker 1: n XT. There's always something on this show kidding me,
Speaker 1: whether it's VIC.
Speaker 3: Or you think we're gonna get kind of a what
Speaker 3: was it Survivor series gang warfare style set up coming
Speaker 3: out of the family's breakup. We're gonna have a Tony
Speaker 3: d with his own family Stacks and now Luca. Which
Speaker 3: one of them is gonna be the biker gang.
Speaker 1: I guess it'd be uh well, I mean Luke. He's
Speaker 1: gonna have the Consigliary gang, a gang of lawyers.
Speaker 3: Yes, maybe Choppa comes back as Thomas Penmanship.
Speaker 1: I don't think any of this is gonna happen Tom mhmm,
Speaker 1: But there you go. We need more mobster wrestler, says Gwanzan.
Speaker 1: Is that really what we need in this business is
Speaker 1: more mobster wrestlers in twenty twenty five.
Speaker 3: More people out there copying Big Veto because there were
Speaker 3: never any mobster wrestlers before that.
Speaker 1: All right, back in a moment Observer Live.
Speaker 2: You are listening to Wrestling Observer Live with Brian Alvarez
Speaker 2: and Mike Simpervivi on the Sports Byline Broadcasting Network.
Speaker 1: Well, was that you were telling me during the break.
Speaker 3: Breaking news as reported on the Aeriel Helwani show UFC
Speaker 3: Superstar Former National Champion wrestler Bo Nickel will be returning
Speaker 3: to wrestling. He will compete August thirtieth in Cleveland, Ohio
Speaker 3: for Real American Freestyle Wrestling, the company headed by Eric
Speaker 3: Bischoff and none other than the Hulkster.
Speaker 1: Well, it's funny you mention that because wrestl Tickes has
Speaker 1: got all the information about their debut show, which is
Speaker 1: August thirtieth at the Woolstein Center in Cleveland. They are
Speaker 1: running a thirteen thousand seat building. It is currently scaled
Speaker 1: for four thousand tickets. They have distributed four hundred and ten.
Speaker 1: They are averaging four tickets per day, which would put
Speaker 1: them at this rate at six hundred tickets by showtime.
Speaker 1: I think they might do a little better than that,
Speaker 1: but this is this is not not a well promoted
Speaker 1: show at this point.
Speaker 3: Under over twan.
Speaker 1: Under.
Speaker 3: I'll take the over, will you you? All right?
