Did you have how much experience did you have 0:07:44.320 --> 0:07:47.080 crossing paths with Bob Ryder? Because he goes back to 0:07:47.120 --> 0:07:51.640 those WCW days and obviously his work on the website 0:07:51.640 --> 0:07:54.760 and then working for TNA for all of these years. 0:07:54.800 --> 0:07:57.080 Did you cross paths with Bob all that much? 0:07:58.080 --> 0:08:02.480 A little bit? I remember, Gosh, I'm I would have 0:08:02.520 --> 0:08:05.240 known him probably from his was it one wrestling dot 0:08:05.280 --> 0:08:10.080 com originally was dot com back in the ECW days, 0:08:10.280 --> 0:08:13.920 and then I remember we we got together and had 0:08:14.040 --> 0:08:17.040 lunch at a cracker barrel in Baton Rouge once when 0:08:17.040 --> 0:08:20.840 I was in WCW, and then I think he was 0:08:20.920 --> 0:08:23.600 the one the the first time I did a TNA appearance, 0:08:23.640 --> 0:08:26.440 when Scott and Don were running things they were they 0:08:26.440 --> 0:08:29.440 booked me to uh do some agenting in an appearance 0:08:29.480 --> 0:08:32.520 at a Windsor show, and he booked the travel and 0:08:32.600 --> 0:08:37.439 had me connecting in the States through Detroit, which would 0:08:37.720 --> 0:08:41.880 make me clear customs twice each way. And I remember 0:08:41.960 --> 0:08:45.560 just calling down going book me domestic travel or I'm 0:08:45.600 --> 0:08:51.360 not coming, and then Bob had to rebook my travel. Yeah, 0:08:51.360 --> 0:08:52.079 it might as well. 0:08:52.160 --> 0:08:56.400 Yeah, all right, we got some news here. The attorney 0:08:56.480 --> 0:08:59.280 Vince McMahon's responded to a new lawsuit file. On Wednesday, 0:09:00.040 --> 0:09:04.600 His attorney, Jessica Rosenberg released his statement of Brandon Thurston 0:09:04.679 --> 0:09:08.000 denying the allegations filed by five survivors of the Ring 0:09:08.120 --> 0:09:11.760 Boy scandal who were suing Vince Linda W W E. 0:09:11.880 --> 0:09:15.800 Slash Tko claiming negligence on their behalf for doing nothing 0:09:16.160 --> 0:09:18.880 to stop sexual abuse of underaged boys from Mel Phillips, 0:09:19.280 --> 0:09:21.160 who was both an announcer and head of the Ring 0:09:21.200 --> 0:09:25.960 Crew in the eighties. The Rosenberg's statement reads, more than 0:09:26.080 --> 0:09:30.160 thirty years ago, this is the statement, Okay, are you 0:09:30.200 --> 0:09:34.600 ready for this? More than thirty years ago, the columnist 0:09:34.760 --> 0:09:39.679 Phil Mushnick tried to make headlines with these same false claims. 0:09:40.360 --> 0:09:43.560 Those allegations were never proved ultimately became the subject of 0:09:43.600 --> 0:09:48.120 a defamation lawsuit against mister Mushnick. The negligence claims against 0:09:48.120 --> 0:09:53.480 mister McMahon that were asserted today rely on these same absurd, defamatory, 0:09:53.480 --> 0:09:57.640 and utterly meritless statements by mister Mushnick. We will vigorously 0:09:57.679 --> 0:10:01.680 defend mister McMahon and are the court will find that 0:10:01.760 --> 0:10:05.320 these claims are untrue and unfounded. How many times do 0:10:05.400 --> 0:10:08.680 we hear Phil Mushnick's name in this short statement. 0:10:08.960 --> 0:10:12.079 It's the least of the product to worry about there. 0:10:12.400 --> 0:10:15.720 So anyway, Lance, we talked about the suit yesterday on 0:10:15.760 --> 0:10:18.800 Observer Live and Observer Radio. What do you make of 0:10:18.800 --> 0:10:19.280 all of this? 0:10:20.040 --> 0:10:23.920 Well, I think the thing that blows my mind the 0:10:23.960 --> 0:10:32.320 most why was WWF hiring twelve year old boys? Regardless 0:10:32.400 --> 0:10:37.240 of whether Vince McMahon knew or not? And I lean 0:10:37.360 --> 0:10:42.960 towards the new Why is the company employing twelve and 0:10:43.080 --> 0:10:47.080 thirteen year old kids to do jobs hanging around with 0:10:47.640 --> 0:10:51.440 the pro wrestling industry? Should they not be hiring adults 0:10:51.440 --> 0:10:52.240 for such things? 0:10:52.920 --> 0:10:55.240 Well, I mean all things aside. I mean I put 0:10:55.280 --> 0:10:57.600 together a ring or two, and if I'm putting together 0:10:57.600 --> 0:11:00.400 a wrestling ring, I don't want twelve year olds like 0:11:00.520 --> 0:11:05.040 big strong people, posts and frames and all sorts of stuff. 0:11:05.400 --> 0:11:08.400 I mean there's a lot of questions here, obviously. 0:11:08.360 --> 0:11:11.360 Yes, and there seems to be more and more of 0:11:11.400 --> 0:11:15.640 them coming out because I think, finally it's a generation 0:11:15.880 --> 0:11:21.480 where victims are looked at in a sympathetic light rather 0:11:21.520 --> 0:11:25.640 than in a defend the accused, which was the norm 0:11:25.720 --> 0:11:30.000 back in the day. I think shaming victims is over, 0:11:30.120 --> 0:11:32.840 and I think that's probably a good thing, and I'll 0:11:32.880 --> 0:11:36.199 even remove the probably it is a good thing. Not 0:11:36.320 --> 0:11:40.319 all allegations are true, but it seems like the vast 0:11:40.320 --> 0:11:41.960 majority of them tend to be. 0:11:43.040 --> 0:11:47.920 Well, we have five unnamed individuals, and they are hoping 0:11:48.080 --> 0:11:50.240 that more will come out. 0:11:50.640 --> 0:11:54.080 So we'll see. This was thirty years. 0:11:53.880 --> 0:11:57.120 Ago, so we'll find out if anybody else comes forward 0:11:57.160 --> 0:12:02.400 as part of this new lawsuit against Vince, Linda and 0:12:02.600 --> 0:12:04.280 WWE slash TKO. 0:12:05.280 --> 0:12:07.280 Tkos got to be happy. He's at least gone. 0:12:08.120 --> 0:12:08.360 Well. 0:12:08.440 --> 0:12:13.440 Yeah, they're bringing in new properties as well. They announced 0:12:13.480 --> 0:12:20.280 Thursday that TKO is acquiring the Professional Bull Writers Association 0:12:21.760 --> 0:12:26.199 on location in IMG from Endeavor sold in an all 0:12:26.200 --> 0:12:29.200 stock deal valued at three point twenty five billion for 0:12:29.320 --> 0:12:31.320 professional bull riders. 0:12:32.080 --> 0:12:34.480 So that's that. 0:12:34.520 --> 0:12:37.439 PBR doesn't have a logical time with either ww or UFC. 0:12:38.000 --> 0:12:42.640 But you know, maybe Dana can. Maybe Dana can bring 0:12:42.679 --> 0:12:47.320 in the the poker where they release the bulls and 0:12:47.360 --> 0:12:50.520 the man who stays at the table longest wins. 0:12:50.920 --> 0:12:54.840 You know, I would argue a little bit against what 0:12:55.000 --> 0:12:58.320 they would have in common with wrestling and fighting. To me, 0:12:58.600 --> 0:13:02.160 it's about the promotion of it, and it's about how 0:13:02.200 --> 0:13:04.319 you can get people to an event that they probably 0:13:04.360 --> 0:13:06.400 wouldn't show up to all the time. You're not going 0:13:06.480 --> 0:13:09.840 to go to bull riding or wrestling, I don't think 0:13:09.840 --> 0:13:13.720 in the same way you would eighty baseball or football games, 0:13:13.760 --> 0:13:16.920 you know, whatever games a year for a home team. 0:13:17.000 --> 0:13:19.800 But to have a sport like that where you can 0:13:19.800 --> 0:13:23.720 focus on the personalities, you can focus on the danger, 0:13:23.840 --> 0:13:25.760 you can build up a lot of hype behind it. 0:13:26.320 --> 0:13:29.360 I mean, I think that's actually a little bit more 0:13:29.440 --> 0:13:32.320 up their alley than say some other group getting it 0:13:32.440 --> 0:13:35.680 and trying to promote it in some other entertainment way 0:13:35.800 --> 0:13:38.040 or in a mainstream sports kind of way. I think 0:13:38.240 --> 0:13:44.200 it actually probably fits in perfectly with the UFC. In wrestling, we. 0:13:44.280 --> 0:13:48.960 Also got the Halloween Havoc viewership on the CW seven 0:13:49.040 --> 0:13:51.960 hundred two thousand viewers, up nine point nine percent from 0:13:52.000 --> 0:13:55.640 last week, third largest total since June eighteenth point sixteen 0:13:55.679 --> 0:13:59.599 and eighteen to forty nine, which is that's a n 0:13:59.720 --> 0:14:04.480 XT on USA numbers. They went headhead with the opening 0:14:04.600 --> 0:14:07.320 night of the NBA season on t n T an 0:14:07.440 --> 0:14:11.680 NHL marathon that featured every team in the league with 0:14:11.840 --> 0:14:14.160 games on TBS, ESPN Plus. 0:14:13.840 --> 0:14:15.360 And local networks. 0:14:16.200 --> 0:14:18.520 So they're building up for Halloween, have it coming up 0:14:18.559 --> 0:14:23.520 on on Sunday here, and uh yeah, I thought they 0:14:23.520 --> 0:14:26.440 would do better overall on CW. Maybe they will settle 0:14:26.480 --> 0:14:29.200 in doing better, but this is they're they're about USA 0:14:29.240 --> 0:14:33.480 network numbers now again, which I guess on CW isn't bad. 0:14:33.520 --> 0:14:37.160 They're by far, like they're the highest rated show on 0:14:37.360 --> 0:14:39.160 CW by like triple or something. 0:14:39.200 --> 0:14:39.600 Crazy. 0:14:39.920 --> 0:14:40.760 Oh yeah, so. 0:14:40.640 --> 0:14:43.360 They're they're doing well, you know, in terms of how 0:14:43.400 --> 0:14:46.200 the network is doing, but you know overall those are 0:14:46.240 --> 0:14:50.280 those are USA numbers? Lance did you uh you got 0:14:50.360 --> 0:14:51.160 n XT now right? 0:14:51.920 --> 0:14:52.280 Uh? 0:14:52.360 --> 0:14:56.760 Not yet, I'm holding out. Oh I do have NX, yes, yeah, 0:14:56.800 --> 0:15:00.160 but I was tied up and busy yesterday. I had 0:15:00.200 --> 0:15:05.160 a terrible kerfluffle dealing with my dog, so did not 0:15:05.240 --> 0:15:08.800 get stuff watched. But can you please read numbers correctly? 0:15:10.160 --> 0:15:13.640 Point one six it's not point sixteen. That's not how 0:15:13.680 --> 0:15:14.640 you read numbers. 0:15:14.880 --> 0:15:17.040 Christmas. This is why I deal with every day, everybody, 0:15:17.400 --> 0:15:17.960 every day. 0:15:18.040 --> 0:15:21.080 Game seven to forty two, I hate that. Don't do that. 0:15:21.280 --> 0:15:22.360 It's forty two to seven. 0:15:22.480 --> 0:15:26.200 Come on, what is the one destimal numbers? 0:15:26.280 --> 0:15:26.560 Ones? 0:15:26.720 --> 0:15:28.200 Oh yeah, when people they get mad that I say 0:15:28.240 --> 0:15:33.280 it's October nine instead of October ninth. Yeah, yeah, it 0:15:32.880 --> 0:15:37.520 doesn't matter, everybody. I got bigger fish to fry, like 0:15:37.600 --> 0:15:39.480 this Dynamite report when we come back from the break. 0:15:39.480 --> 0:15:40.520 Did you at least watch that one? 0:15:40.600 --> 0:15:44.360 Lance, I do not get a w I don't subscribe 0:15:44.400 --> 0:15:45.720 to TSN. 0:15:45.360 --> 0:15:46.280 But did you watch it? 0:15:46.720 --> 0:15:46.920 No? 0:15:47.040 --> 0:15:51.160 Okay, back in the moment it was over life come day. 0:16:00.760 --> 0:16:02.160 Nothing gets me that he can give. 0:16:02.160 --> 0:16:03.240 By my gosh, there's. 0:16:03.040 --> 0:16:04.160 Something that I won't try. 0:16:04.400 --> 0:16:15.040 But you were listening to Wrestling Observer Live with Brian 0:16:15.120 --> 0:16:20.720 Alvarez and Mike simper VV on the Sports Byline Broadcasting Network. 0:16:21.480 --> 0:16:26.080 The show Brian Elvera is here Wrestling Observer Live, make 0:16:26.120 --> 0:16:28.400 simper vv also Wrestling Observe dot com brand. 0:16:28.440 --> 0:16:29.560 It makes a great point here. 0:16:30.200 --> 0:16:32.400 Plus, people get upset when you either round up or 0:16:32.480 --> 0:16:35.880 don't round up the ratings number. Don't you dare round 0:16:35.960 --> 0:16:40.080 up or down? Dude, don't say zero point sixteen. All 0:16:40.120 --> 0:16:42.080 I hear is that people don't care about the ratings, 0:16:42.080 --> 0:16:43.200 But boy, they sure care. 0:16:44.680 --> 0:16:45.720 Now we're worry. 0:16:47.080 --> 0:16:49.840 Dynamite last night It's gonna be the de Lance's easiest 0:16:49.880 --> 0:16:52.240 day ever. He didn't even watch a show. He's only 0:16:52.280 --> 0:16:54.640 a one segment left. If you'd like to jump in 0:16:54.720 --> 0:16:59.400 Lance with any insight reel free to uh to do 0:16:59.480 --> 0:17:04.199 so well. What happened on the show, Well, we had 0:17:04.240 --> 0:17:09.960 an interview with Hangman and out comes old Jay White 0:17:11.480 --> 0:17:16.520 and Juice, and Hangman leaves and Jay White basically he 0:17:16.560 --> 0:17:19.680 wants to get his hands on him again. Soon as 0:17:19.680 --> 0:17:22.480 I look back, that's like all it happened. It seemed 0:17:22.480 --> 0:17:24.520 like there was more at the time. I think I 0:17:24.600 --> 0:17:27.720 was mostly just concerned about Hangman's leg. He did such 0:17:27.720 --> 0:17:32.400 a good job selling that. Many people, including people there, 0:17:32.400 --> 0:17:34.840 thought he got hurt. Turns out he was just selling. 0:17:35.119 --> 0:17:38.280 It was very, very well done. Then we had Shelton 0:17:38.320 --> 0:17:43.840 and Sammy Gavara, which of course Shelton won, and I 0:17:44.720 --> 0:17:48.560 saw a lot of heat online for Shelton beating Sammy Gavara. 0:17:49.440 --> 0:17:50.080 I don't get it. 0:17:51.040 --> 0:17:54.080 We're setting up a match here with Swerve next week, Like, 0:17:54.119 --> 0:17:56.880 what do people expect to happen? Samy's gonna beat him? 0:17:57.119 --> 0:18:00.199 And then Shelton goes in to face what what are 0:18:00.240 --> 0:18:02.200 we talking about here? Could someone help me? 0:18:02.240 --> 0:18:02.480 Out. 0:18:02.920 --> 0:18:05.600 Well, I think it's the argument you often bring up. 0:18:05.760 --> 0:18:11.120 It's like, yes, once the match is booked, Shelton has 0:18:11.240 --> 0:18:14.080 to win. But there are those that will argue the 0:18:14.119 --> 0:18:18.199 match shouldn't have been booked because they don't want someone 0:18:18.200 --> 0:18:22.480 who is viewed as an AEW original losing to a 0:18:22.880 --> 0:18:27.080 former WWE shall we say mid card. 0:18:27.960 --> 0:18:31.000 Well, hey, if if that's what you think, then it's 0:18:31.119 --> 0:18:34.840 a totally valid argument to say that Shelton should have 0:18:34.880 --> 0:18:39.840 beaten Bear Bronson or somebody. Okay, but the fact is like, 0:18:39.920 --> 0:18:42.199 once the match was made, there's only one finish. 0:18:42.560 --> 0:18:45.960 Yes, so Renee was. 0:18:45.920 --> 0:18:49.399 With Mariah May was leaving with some luggage, but it 0:18:49.440 --> 0:18:51.560 wasn't hers, it was Anna Jay's. He once or kicked 0:18:51.600 --> 0:18:53.919 out of the locker room and then Anna showed up 0:18:53.960 --> 0:18:55.560 and they had a brawl. Chris Daniels broke it up. 0:18:55.600 --> 0:18:57.600 They're having a match coming up. I will say one 0:18:57.600 --> 0:18:58.400 thing about this show. 0:18:58.880 --> 0:18:59.400 Two things. 0:18:59.440 --> 0:19:02.080 Actually I need to uh because I'm a fair man here, 0:19:03.520 --> 0:19:07.440 way better job doing angles and promoting matches for down 0:19:07.480 --> 0:19:11.160 the road We got matches for Actually, I will say 0:19:11.200 --> 0:19:12.920 they've done a terrible job with Collision. 0:19:13.160 --> 0:19:13.800 But as far as like. 0:19:13.840 --> 0:19:17.920 Dynamite upcoming Dynamite shows. I mean, they're doing an excellent job, 0:19:18.400 --> 0:19:20.600 so that's good. And the other thing I got to say. 0:19:22.000 --> 0:19:23.959 I was gonna say this on Observer Radio last night, 0:19:23.960 --> 0:19:25.679 but we were already ninety minutes into the show and 0:19:25.720 --> 0:19:26.879 I did not want to get into this. 0:19:28.080 --> 0:19:29.000 I believe they've. 0:19:28.840 --> 0:19:32.960 Fixed the overrun issue because it has now been like 0:19:33.040 --> 0:19:37.119 three four weeks They've had an overrun every time and 0:19:37.240 --> 0:19:40.399 YouTube TV has picked it up every time, So I 0:19:40.400 --> 0:19:45.119 think they finally solved that problem. So after like a 0:19:45.240 --> 0:19:48.320 year of complaining about it, I want to say thank 0:19:48.359 --> 0:19:53.080 you for solving the YouTube overrun issue. Hopefully we'll see 0:19:53.080 --> 0:19:59.200 some better overruns now. We had a Kyle and will 0:19:59.200 --> 0:20:02.440 ospray video package, followed by Kyle and Don coming down 0:20:02.480 --> 0:20:06.120 of the ring man. These guys had some heat, and 0:20:06.240 --> 0:20:09.080 we had a guy who was at the show last night, 0:20:09.840 --> 0:20:12.520 and you know, he said, not a big crowd, not 0:20:12.600 --> 0:20:15.600 a very rabid crowd, but boy were they allowed during 0:20:15.640 --> 0:20:19.359 this segment, and they were. They hated Kyle, the hated Don. 0:20:20.200 --> 0:20:24.840 I thought that overall, Kyle did a pretty great job. 0:20:25.119 --> 0:20:26.280 He went a little long. 0:20:27.000 --> 0:20:29.520 I would have I think he talked for seven straight minutes. 0:20:30.000 --> 0:20:31.639 I would have cut a little bit off. 0:20:31.520 --> 0:20:35.000 That, but he he did a great. 0:20:34.800 --> 0:20:38.639 Job actually in building up this feud with will Ospray, 0:20:38.720 --> 0:20:41.560 and they're gonna have a face to face next week. 0:20:42.200 --> 0:20:45.600 And the only negative to me is that Kyle's whole 0:20:45.600 --> 0:20:48.720 point is I keep hearing people compare me to you. 0:20:49.440 --> 0:20:51.679 I do not want to be anything like you. I 0:20:51.720 --> 0:20:55.160 am not you, will Ospray. And therefore he got out 0:20:55.240 --> 0:20:59.760 a razor and he shaved his head. And for those 0:20:59.800 --> 0:21:02.080 of you that have been following the career of Kyle Fletcher, 0:21:03.160 --> 0:21:06.600 he's actually very much like me. When I was younger, 0:21:07.119 --> 0:21:10.600 never had a good haircut, not a single one. And 0:21:10.920 --> 0:21:14.040 he finally had probably the best haircut he's ever had, 0:21:14.640 --> 0:21:16.320 and he shaved his head. 0:21:17.119 --> 0:21:20.000 At least he's the first wrestler I've seen that knows 0:21:20.040 --> 0:21:23.119 which way the clippers go and did it correctly. It's true, 0:21:24.280 --> 0:21:26.040 true she was head up by having them in the 0:21:26.040 --> 0:21:26.520 wrong way. 0:21:26.760 --> 0:21:28.720 A lot of wrestlers, you know, they they don't cut 0:21:28.720 --> 0:21:32.480 their own hair. I do, which is also why I 0:21:32.520 --> 0:21:34.960 so rarely had a nice haircut in my lifetime. 0:21:35.640 --> 0:21:38.200 And then we had a Ricochet promo. It's another one. 0:21:38.640 --> 0:21:40.159 I don't want to I don't want to like complain 0:21:40.200 --> 0:21:42.840 because they're doing a lot better. But like Ricochet issues 0:21:42.880 --> 0:21:46.840 an open challenge for Rampage, so they do the Rampage 0:21:46.840 --> 0:21:49.119 tapings and like I know it is, and it's like, 0:21:49.880 --> 0:21:50.919 why DIDN'TY announce that? 0:21:51.400 --> 0:21:55.600 Why didn't we announce that match? No spoilers? People get mad. 0:21:56.240 --> 0:21:59.960 We had Lance Archer and Brian Cage in an NXT spell. 0:22:01.040 --> 0:22:07.320 They beat two men. They did not identify the men. 0:22:08.359 --> 0:22:11.119 The men did not have a graphic. The announcer did 0:22:11.160 --> 0:22:12.920 not appear to have any idea who these men were. 0:22:14.480 --> 0:22:17.600 I don't know, Like sometimes this happens and I just 0:22:17.680 --> 0:22:19.960 go to our website to see the report that's written 0:22:20.000 --> 0:22:21.800 on the front pages, like, okay, who are these guys? 0:22:22.080 --> 0:22:24.720 Well, they had no idea either. I have no idea 0:22:24.760 --> 0:22:27.680 who these two men are. No clue. Could have been 0:22:27.760 --> 0:22:28.520 Tyreek And. 0:22:29.480 --> 0:22:31.600 Anyway, I think if I had to take that beating, 0:22:31.640 --> 0:22:33.280 I'd rather than not use my name either. 0:22:33.520 --> 0:22:35.520 Well, sure, but I mean it's just weird. 0:22:36.600 --> 0:22:40.440 Then Chuck Taylor says, there are all these geeks outside, it's 0:22:40.480 --> 0:22:43.360 like ninety percent geeks, and then you know there's Mark 0:22:43.440 --> 0:22:46.240 Risco and you know, I guess Chiff Chert's not a geek. 0:22:47.040 --> 0:22:51.080 But outcomes Chuck Taylor and he says, hey, you know 0:22:51.760 --> 0:22:54.320 you're up next, Briscoe, you gotta go in, and so 0:22:54.359 --> 0:22:58.040 he starts going in, and then Chuck says, Orange, these nerds. 0:22:58.080 --> 0:22:59.680 He didn't say the word nerds, but we know what 0:22:59.680 --> 0:23:03.480 you say. These nerds people beat up Mosing this crew. 0:23:03.720 --> 0:23:04.399
