Speaker 2: You are listening to Wrestling Observer Live with Brian Alvarez
Speaker 2: and Mike SIMPERVV on the Sports Byline Broadcasting Network.
Speaker 1: Back in the show. Brian Alvarez here Wrestling Observer Live,
Speaker 1: Mike Simper vb also Wrestling Observer dot Com. And yes
Speaker 1: it actually is Brian Danielson versus Eddie Kingston. This coming
Speaker 1: Saturday night, the uh Brody king matches with Claudio and
Speaker 1: ANDROTI will be facing Daniel Garcia. So those are your
Speaker 1: Continental Classic Tournament maness, Daniel Garcia. This poor bloke done
Speaker 1: getting beat again? Where are you Mike?
Speaker 4: Hello?
Speaker 1: Yeah, your Mike's not working reconnect? Yeah, I couldn't hear him.
Speaker 1: I don't know about the rest of you.
Speaker 4: Don't even get me started.
Speaker 1: So anyway, we've got shows up over the next couple
Speaker 1: of days. Dynamite was last night Friday. We have got
Speaker 1: Dan House and Orange, Cassidy Hook and Trent Burretta versus
Speaker 1: Evil Luno, Alex Reynolds, Matt Menard and Angelo Parker. We
Speaker 1: have got Takeshta, Powerhouse, Hobbes and Kyle Fletcher in action,
Speaker 1: which is kind of funny.
Speaker 4: Because are you there now?
Speaker 3: I don't know?
Speaker 4: There we go all right now.
Speaker 1: You're back, ye, So this Rampage show is taped, but
Speaker 1: even though it's taped, they're only announcing that Takeshta, Hobbes
Speaker 1: and Fletcher are in action, so maybe that taped.
Speaker 4: Match might change or something. I don't know.
Speaker 1: Sorea, Ruby Soho and Anna Jay versus stat Lander, Karashet
Speaker 1: and sky Blue, Penta, Mkingo and Commander versus Brian Cage
Speaker 1: and J. D. Drake and Anthony Henry. That's for Rampage,
Speaker 1: and then has noted the lineup for the tournament on
Speaker 1: Saturday is Brian Danielson, Eddie Kingston Androtti versus Daniel Garcia
Speaker 1: and Brody King versus Claudio Caston.
Speaker 4: Now, the tournament's been great.
Speaker 1: I've enjoyed all the matches, with the exception of the
Speaker 1: matches who's finishes I did not see, which would have
Speaker 1: been the last two weeks on Dynamite And No, I
Speaker 1: am not going to get into this argument again because
Speaker 1: Dave is not here to defend himself.
Speaker 4: But I will just say one thing, and that is that.
Speaker 3: Whenever Brian I still watch sports, you don't.
Speaker 1: The overrun last week, which I didn't see because it
Speaker 1: got cut off, absolutely died. The overrun is always supposed
Speaker 1: to go up because you know the people watch and
Speaker 1: then the next people will come in or well it
Speaker 1: died because people couldn't watch it. Okay, So for all
Speaker 1: of you suggesting that I need to solve the issue
Speaker 1: for myself, I know it's like a gimmick and everything
Speaker 1: like that, but I'm actually a nice guy. I'm trying
Speaker 1: to look for a solution. I'm trying to look for
Speaker 1: a solution that in fact would work for everybody, not
Speaker 1: just me. I realize it's America and we're all very selfish,
Speaker 1: but yeah, I could probably solve the problem for myself.
Speaker 1: But what about everybody else who can't watch the end
Speaker 1: of Dynamite for the last two weeks because the final
Speaker 1: quarter collapsed last week because the thing cut off early. Well,
Speaker 1: you know, I'd like to help everybody here, not just me.
Speaker 3: Anyway, you're that kind of guy, Brian.
Speaker 1: I am that kind of guy. I'm a nice guy.
Speaker 3: And you're right, Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 1: DJ's right to everyone's an expert. Do you know how
Speaker 1: many people gave me advice who don't actually have YouTube TV.
Speaker 1: They're like, hey, you know, just set it for fifteen
Speaker 1: minutes more. I got sling. I'm not talking about sling,
Speaker 1: I'm talking about YouTube TV, where, in fact, you can't
Speaker 1: just set it longer. You can't just set it for
Speaker 1: an extra fifteen minutes or thirty minutes.
Speaker 4: You can't.
Speaker 1: It's actually impossible. So your advice it doesn't help me
Speaker 1: at all or anybody else that's trying to watch the
Speaker 1: end of Dynamite.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but wait, Brian. Later on in the week, they
Speaker 3: added in the next morning, they added.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was the other one. Why you know, I
Speaker 1: can just watch it the next day. That'll be a
Speaker 1: real fun review. On Wednesday night on Observer Radio, Dave,
Speaker 1: I didn't see the show. I gotta watch it tomorrow
Speaker 1: so I can see the overrun. Take it through the
Speaker 1: show here, Dave, That'd be a long hour. I'd just
Speaker 1: be sitting there going, what's.
Speaker 4: He talking about?
Speaker 1: Are you telling me that?
Speaker 4: Actually?
Speaker 1: That's the NXT review anyway, Revolution, which will be Sting's
Speaker 1: final match, it has been announced, is taking place on
Speaker 1: March third at the Greensboro Coliseum. That's where they're running
Speaker 1: the pay per view, the Greensboro Colisseum.
Speaker 3: You better say it with some reverence, boy, on March third.
Speaker 1: It is the same building where Rick Flair defended the
Speaker 1: NWA World title against Sting in a forty five minute draw,
Speaker 1: which I don't know if you guys are aware of
Speaker 1: this or not, but there were no commercials and Jesus Stinger,
Speaker 1: you did it. We didn't rehearse it. We didn't talk
Speaker 1: about it. We just went out there and did it.
Speaker 1: That's what Rick Flair said. No rehearsals, no rehearsals. He said, no,
Speaker 1: we didn't rehearse that match. We just went out there
Speaker 1: and wrestled. But anyway, that's what's gonna take place. We
Speaker 1: don't know the opponent, but you know what they gotta do.
Speaker 1: What Flair's got to try.
Speaker 4: To screw him one last time, Well, you just.
Speaker 1: Know he's gotta He's got to turn on Sting near
Speaker 1: the end of that match. It almost cost him his
Speaker 1: final match, and then Sting turns the tables and he's
Speaker 1: got to put Flair in the scorpion at the end
Speaker 1: of the match. Well, the worst part is they and
Speaker 1: then they can hug it because they didn't rehearse it.
Speaker 3: They'll reanimate Sandy Scott and overrule of match of draw
Speaker 3: or something like that. But you know, he used to
Speaker 3: kill me back in the day. Being in an area
Speaker 3: that didn't have cable TV. They kept hyping up over
Speaker 3: and over and over again during that programming, it's going
Speaker 3: to be on free TV. It's going to be on
Speaker 3: free TV, like it was going to be out of
Speaker 3: the belts and syndication. They never mentioned that it was
Speaker 3: going to be on WTBS on the syndicated shows. So
Speaker 3: when he came time for it to be on free TV,
Speaker 3: yeah it was not.
Speaker 1: Voor Will Ospray opted to sign with AW. He reportedly
Speaker 1: had a bigger offer on the table or a big
Speaker 1: offer on the table from Impact Wrestling. Pwsider say they
Speaker 1: were very much in the running to land Osprey with
Speaker 1: Impact making, with sources close to the situation described as
Speaker 1: quote a fantastic, massive offer to sign him. What Impact
Speaker 1: Stortes told p W inside it was a seven figure
Speaker 1: level offer.
Speaker 3: What does that mean?
Speaker 1: They say, what's the seven figure level? Yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: is it seven figures or not?
Speaker 3: Yeah, it says on the front page like that, Like
Speaker 3: that quote actually just leads you to ask what does
Speaker 3: this mean?
Speaker 1: Said it was likely the largest contract offer Impact and
Speaker 1: made to a wrestler since Anthem.
Speaker 3: Sport, including what was to the right of the decimal point.
Speaker 1: Apparently it was the largest contract offer Impact Wrestling and
Speaker 1: made to wrestler since Anthem Sports Entertainment acquired the company. Well,
Speaker 1: now that you didn't take the money, there's gonna be
Speaker 1: a lot of people looking for a raise.
Speaker 4: Yeah, tell you that much.
Speaker 3: Josh Alexander should get one.
Speaker 1: And you know he had said in interviews he liked
Speaker 1: working Impact. I'm sure he had a great time, but
Speaker 1: you know his his uh, what he wanted was life
Speaker 1: changing money.
Speaker 4: And I don't know.
Speaker 1: What U what AW gave him, but it was not
Speaker 1: a seven figure level offer. I'm sure it was a
Speaker 1: seven figure offer, yes, and probably quite a bit. There's
Speaker 1: some people there making a lot of money, it's my impression. Good,
Speaker 1: a lot of money, good, good, good, But you know
Speaker 1: there's other people not making a lot of money. That's
Speaker 1: bad about twenty twenty four is coming. A lot of
Speaker 1: people are gonna be making a lot more money.
Speaker 3: Well, we went over that, Drew McIntyre top of the list,
Speaker 3: Mercedes Money top of the list.
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, they're they're they're way up the La Night
Speaker 1: mel A Night top merch cellar in WWE. Although I
Speaker 1: don't know, now that Punk's back, He's probably gonna beat
Speaker 1: him there for a while at least. Then we have
Speaker 1: the ratings for the last couple of days. We'll talk
Speaker 1: about AW ratings in a moment. But that NXT show
Speaker 1: six fifty nine, up six percent from last week er
Speaker 1: point eighteen eighteen to forty nine, which was down five
Speaker 1: percent from last week. The show went head to head
Speaker 1: with NBA Basketball on TNT college basketball on ESPN. They
Speaker 1: are still up two point three percent year over year.
Speaker 1: And this is what I keep telling you guys about
Speaker 1: eighteen to forty nine, up forty percent year over year.
Speaker 1: These kids like this NXT show.
Speaker 3: Now that's gonna help them. But don't get caught in
Speaker 3: the trap of falling under seven hundred thousand. That number.
Speaker 3: You know that, no dont matter.
Speaker 1: Now, don't matter. Now they resigned their deal. Well, and
Speaker 1: by the way, I don't know. I don't have any
Speaker 1: information whatsoever, but I can tell you that the belief
Speaker 1: is that we will be getting information on where RAW
Speaker 1: is going quite soon. The deal may be done. Triple
Speaker 1: H was not at RAW on Monday. Him and Nick
Speaker 1: con were in l a and they were trying to
Speaker 1: finalize a television deal. And I think that deal might
Speaker 1: be done.
Speaker 3: So we'll find out. Oh yeah, yeah, are you going
Speaker 3: to be here tomorrow. No, they are going to announce.
Speaker 1: So it's going to be announced. Well you better get ready, brother,
Speaker 1: I'm watch dogging it.
Speaker 4: That's a long.
Speaker 3: Day, are you really?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Back at school I am, and it's a long day. Well,
Speaker 1: we'll get into the a W radius. We come back
Speaker 1: from the break later on in the show. We've got
Speaker 1: the world famous Dynamite report. Anymore.
Speaker 4: Back in the moment, Observer.
Speaker 9: Live, just as well, the game, get some game. We'll
Speaker 9: be at the other lawns between.
Speaker 2: In the cool, cool morning turn the days of slam.
Speaker 9: I'll say, living right is easy.
Speaker 2: You were listening to Wrestling Observer Live with Brian Alvarez
Speaker 2: and Mike semper VV on the Sports Byline Broadcasting Network.
Speaker 1: In the show, Brian Elberz here Wrestling Observer Live, Mike
Speaker 1: simpervb else of Wrestling Observer dot Com. So we had uh.
Speaker 4: Where am I here?
Speaker 1: Collision as well as rampage. We already talked about SmackDown.
Speaker 1: SmackDown on FS one the exception of a best of
Speaker 1: episode in twenty twenty one. It was the lowest rated
Speaker 1: SmackDown in the history of SmackDown. That was the day
Speaker 1: after Thanksgiving edition had to head with a bunch of sports.
Speaker 4: I don't watch sports. I don't know if you're wearing that.
Speaker 1: Then we had AW Collision and AW Rampage, which were
Speaker 1: both head to head with war Games and U. I
Speaker 1: mean honestly, they did all right. I mean I thought
Speaker 1: they'd be killed worse. Collision three hundred and seventeen thousand viewers,
Speaker 1: which was up seventeen percent from the airing last Friday,
Speaker 1: but it was down twenty percent from two weeks ago,
Speaker 1: and two weeks ago was not going head to head.
Speaker 1: Actually it might have been the The NXT Show, but
Speaker 1: regardless a point nine in eighteen to forty nine, and Rampage,
Speaker 1: which aired after Collision, was also still head to head
Speaker 1: with The Wargame Show, and that show did two hundred
Speaker 1: and sixty four and zero point eight in eighteen to
Speaker 1: forty nine.
Speaker 4: So you know it's.
Speaker 1: Gonna be rough because Saturday Night, there's always stuff on
Speaker 1: Saturday Night, especially this It's all right for fighting, but
Speaker 1: you know what, there's a lot of fighting on other
Speaker 1: channels with guys and balls.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: Yeah, with polished elements and such.
Speaker 1: Brian, Yes, there's gonna be NXT pay per views, there's
Speaker 1: gonna be WWE pay per views. And don't think NXT
Speaker 1: doesn't hurt Collision and uh in Rampage or I guess
Speaker 1: just Collision because it does.
Speaker 3: They have, well, what they have going for them this
Speaker 3: week is no WWE or NXT premium live event, but
Speaker 3: they do have Michigan in Iowa and Louisville and Florida State,
Speaker 3: and again, depending on what happens with Friday nights football,
Speaker 3: which is going to affect SmackDown to some extent, and
Speaker 3: depending on what happens Saturday during the day, those games
Speaker 3: at that that night are crucial. They are very crucial
Speaker 3: in the case of Michigan. So we'll have to see
Speaker 3: what happens. But it's probably not going to be a
Speaker 3: great night again. But I again, with not having the
Speaker 3: WWE show, I can see them being up from this
Speaker 3: past weekend.
Speaker 4: You think so, huh?
Speaker 3: I think so.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I don't know what the people out there in radiol thing.
Speaker 3: But it'll give you time to check your notes.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm looking for I'm looking for something here. Should
Speaker 1: I even bother?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 3: And with that look on your face, yes.
Speaker 4: A terrible person you are? Do it now?
Speaker 1: All right, Uh, Coward Bendido out of action longer than expected,
Speaker 1: so he had a wrist injury and he had surgery
Speaker 1: to repair the injury in July. He had been on
Speaker 1: track to return in December, but then, according to Dave,
Speaker 1: it was just discovered that his wrist did not healed
Speaker 1: properly from his first surgery, so he had to have another.
Speaker 1: That sucks, So he's going to be out of action
Speaker 1: for another length of time.
Speaker 3: I don't mean to sound flipping here, Honestly, who's paying
Speaker 3: for this?
Speaker 4: I'm sure AW paid for it.
Speaker 3: And that's the darnedest thing because how long has he
Speaker 3: really been signed to AW? I mean, he's been signed
Speaker 3: a long time now, but how many matches as he
Speaker 3: really wrestled for him? It's just it's so tough. It's
Speaker 3: like watching a draft pick come in and blow their
Speaker 3: achilles out, you know, right in the first training camp
Speaker 3: before the season even starts for their rookie year. I
Speaker 3: hope this guy can come back at full because, like Dragonly,
Speaker 3: like Rouche, he's special. There are a lot of guys
Speaker 3: that wear masks that are you know, in AW and
Speaker 3: NWWE and all over the indie scene. This is a
Speaker 3: special talent, and I hope he can get it back
Speaker 3: to one hundred percent, and I hope we can actually
Speaker 3: see him sooner rather than later.
Speaker 1: I hope this doesn't lead to more Gravity matches, is
Speaker 1: what I want to say about that.
Speaker 3: Bacher Maania forty two four came out and yeah, was
Speaker 3: it in the whole episode? It should have been.
Speaker 4: That poor guy.
Speaker 1: I feel bad forgetting on him, but I watched the match.
Speaker 1: It was on national television, wanted today.
Speaker 3: I had to suffer through it and I couldn't knee
Speaker 3: him in the head like Malachi did, so it was.
Speaker 3: It was a rough It was rough, and I feel bad, Actually,
Speaker 3: I feel worse for Commander. Yeah, Gravity had a bad night.
Speaker 3: It was a bad match. Everybody feels bad about it,
Speaker 3: I'm sure, but Commander didn't seem to do anything wrong there,
Speaker 3: and there probably should have been an.
Speaker 1: All Yeah, Commander's great. Yeah, it was actually amazing.
Speaker 3: Where it was like just hurt Gravity and you stay
Speaker 3: outside there, Commander will do the rest of it.
Speaker 1: See. The thing is like I don't I guess I
Speaker 1: shouldn't say anyth because I don't know, But my impression
Speaker 1: is it like I don't know, you know, you would
Speaker 1: think language barrier. If if it was an issue with
Speaker 1: a language barrier, then it should have affected Commander and Gravity.
Speaker 1: But Commander, we're just fine with everybody. Well, hey, gravity
Speaker 1: did not.
Speaker 3: Look There are just some combinations that are on paper
Speaker 3: they look great, but then they don't work. You know,
Speaker 3: some work Andrade and Buddy Matthews that first collision, it's
Speaker 3: like perfect, perfect combination together. And there are some people,
Speaker 3: even the amount of experience they have, Charlotte Flair and
Speaker 3: Kyrie saying as a good example where something obviously for
Speaker 3: whatever reason, does not click. And again it was also
Speaker 3: probably their first time in the ring with each other as.
Speaker 1: Well, says Brian, I understand why people are saying the
Speaker 1: punk promo from Raw was a good number. I found
Speaker 1: it to be a rather disappointing number. No, they added
Speaker 1: four hundred thousand viewers from the like the average of Like,
Speaker 1: here's the thing, Yes, if this were not football season, Okay,
Speaker 1: if this were the road to WrestleMania, the Raw after WrestleMania, yeah,
Speaker 1: that'd be a disappointing number during football season with the
Speaker 1: competition that they had the thing too that people for
Speaker 1: this is the other thing, so yeah, compared to last week,
Speaker 1: they were up four hundred thousand or whatever. You guys
Speaker 1: do realize that last week was like an aberration. It
Speaker 1: was like a remarkably like it didn't even make sense
Speaker 1: how big the number last week was. So you got
Speaker 1: to go back to the average of all of the
Speaker 1: raws during football season. And if you go back and
Speaker 1: look at the average of all the raws during football
Speaker 1: season and then you look at this number, this thing
Speaker 1: was sky high. Now how long is it going to
Speaker 1: be sky high? I don't know. I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: when John Cena first came back, I mean, he boosted
Speaker 1: things a ton, but didn't last forever. And you know,
Speaker 1: Roman Reigns is now advertised for three smackdowns and those
Speaker 1: three smackdowns are gonna sell out, They're gonna do great.
Speaker 1: But if Roman Reigns was actually on TV every single week,
Speaker 1: he wouldn't be doing that kind of boost. So how
Speaker 1: long it'll be I don't know. But for the first
Speaker 1: time back, that was a huge number. In fact, you know,
Speaker 1: it's funny, you know it's funny. You know the old
Speaker 1: aw didn't get a million, Well that that number that
Speaker 1: cmpunk did when he came back for that Rampage show.
Speaker 1: I think it was basically up four hundred thousand or
Speaker 1: so from what they had been doing previously for those
Speaker 1: those Dynamite shows. So you know, he boosted WWE basically
Speaker 1: as much as he boosted AW. I guess in a
Speaker 1: percentage base is probably a little bit less, but still
Speaker 1: that Rampage was also not head to head with the NFL,
Speaker 1: So this was a very good number he drew for
Speaker 1: his first time back. I agree, man, This person here, well,
Speaker 1: here's a question for you. This person asked, where is
Speaker 1: Britt Baker? Well that's a good question, isn't it. Now
Speaker 1: she's asking a question on Twitter?
Speaker 3: Is that a shoot or a work?
Speaker 4: Listen?
Speaker 1: All I can tell you is this whether she's working
Speaker 1: some angle or she's not working some angle. The fact
Speaker 1: of the matter is she's not wrong.
Speaker 4: Where is she?
Speaker 1: And not only where is she? But she made the
Speaker 1: point that you know, look at how much time that
Speaker 1: you know MGF and I forget the other person she mentioned,
Speaker 1: maybe Christian and Copeland. You know, look at how much
Speaker 1: talking time they got And I've gotten zero minutes of
Speaker 1: entring talking time all year, all year, So I don't
Speaker 1: know what's going on.
Speaker 3: Well, she also had a hell of a combination with
Speaker 3: Jamie Hater, where, you know, for a while there. I
Speaker 3: don't know what's going on either. I took the tweet
Speaker 3: to be, you know, kind of in a working way,
Speaker 3: because it's not like she called out her husband that
Speaker 3: they would expect her to or anything like that. But
Speaker 3: he's been tied into a lot of the time on television,
Speaker 3: whether it be through skits or whether it be through
Speaker 3: the mjf angle, So I don't know. I think maybe
Speaker 3: she's working. But regardless of whether she's working or not,
Speaker 3: I'm sure she does want to be out there on TV.
Speaker 3: I would figure her as a competitor and as a entertainer,
Speaker 3: she does want to be out there on TV, and
Speaker 3: she's not. They didn't even use her for local promotion
Speaker 3: when they went to Pittsburgh, So.
Speaker 1: It's like that Pittsburgh's own Lady Frost. I still laugh
Speaker 1: every time I think of that graphic and.
Speaker 3: It's things like that where it's like, come on, I
Speaker 3: know you, okay, look Adam, I'm sure is fine. He
Speaker 3: seems to be making his way to shows and all
Speaker 3: that sort of stuff. She doesn't have to be home
Speaker 3: convalescing with him. Why aren't you using her right now?
Speaker 3: But maybe they have a great idea are waiting for
Speaker 3: Maybe it's just as as simple as waiting for Jamie
Speaker 3: eight or to give another update on when she's coming back.
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 3: Sometimes, brother, I don't know.
Speaker 1: It's not even it's not even like okay, maybe you
Speaker 1: know she's she's at home and she wants to come
Speaker 1: back or whatever, but it's also you know, you know what,
Speaker 1: he's funny as like I'm trying to think of like
Speaker 1: a good Actually, i'd have to go back to WCW
Speaker 1: where you had these these guys were just they would
Speaker 1: cause nothing but trouble. And you know, the argument was
Speaker 1: always well, we pay them so much, we've got to.
Speaker 4: Use them, remember that old thing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And to me it was always like, actually, you
Speaker 1: know what, if they're actively destroying your promotion, then you're
Speaker 1: actually saving money by not using them. But anyway, the
Speaker 1: argument always was, well, we have to use Nash and
Speaker 1: we have to use We're just paying them so much money.
Speaker 1: You think BRIT's making fifty grand a year. I don't
Speaker 1: know what she's making, but like I'm sure she's making
Speaker 1: And it's not just Britt it's like the same thing
Speaker 1: that we asked about the Young Bucks. Remember the Young
Speaker 1: Bucks re signed and then you know they were like
Speaker 1: here there and they just dropped off the face of
Speaker 1: the earth. And then you know they did that thing
Speaker 1: on the pay per view and they vanished again. You
Speaker 1: think they're making fifty grand a year, they're not. So
Speaker 1: it's like it's actually the opposite here. It's like, whatever
Speaker 1: you want to say about britt she was the biggest
Speaker 1: women's star they had, and during that period where she
Speaker 1: was feuding with thunder Rosa and they had that lights
Speaker 1: out match, it wasn't just for the women. She was
Speaker 1: one of the biggest stars in the entire company. And
Speaker 1: she's I'm sure making a ton of money and she's gone.
Speaker 1: The Bucks are gone, and like where is everybody?
Speaker 3: Are you?
Speaker 1: Why are you paying them? I don't know, Hey my

Speaker 2: You were listening to Wrestling Observer Live with Brian Albarez
Speaker 2: and Mike Simper VV on the Sports Byline Broadcasting Network.
Speaker 1: The show Brian Elberrez here a Wrestling Observer Live Mike's
Speaker 1: member VV also Wrestling Observer dot com. Well, let's talk
Speaker 1: about the world famous Dynamite report. They opened up with
Speaker 1: Brian Daleson and his gigantick eye patch coming out to
Speaker 1: do commentary. He did a fine job on commentary.
Speaker 3: Do you think that's the same eyepatch that he had
Speaker 3: back in r oh impossible.
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 1: Maybe he has maybe maybe he has a whole uh,
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of eye patches, oh like Mooden mask that.
Speaker 1: So it opened up with John Moxy j Lethal Condental
Speaker 1: Classic and I thought this was a very good match
Speaker 1: and you know what expect on Moxley and Jay. Lethal
Speaker 1: worked over Moxley's leg for a while, big spot at
Speaker 1: the end, Moxley puts him in the choke and Lethal
Speaker 1: tries to pummel his bad leg and Moxley traps the arm.
Speaker 1: Now he can't pummele. Lethal is forced to tap Moxley
Speaker 1: at the moment in the lead with six points, although
Speaker 1: we'll soon have a bunch of people six points. Then
Speaker 1: we had Eddie Kingston cutting a promo. He said, I
Speaker 1: knew it'd be tough, but I might have come in
Speaker 1: here arrogant thinking I put my belts on the line
Speaker 1: and I deserve to win. Nobody deserves anything. Now I've
Speaker 1: got Brian next and I'm behind the eight ball, but
Speaker 1: I'm not going back humble in victory, humble in defeat.
Speaker 1: And then he go to Brian on commentary and he goes,
Speaker 1: I broke my overittal bone in two places, but I'm
Speaker 1: going to this tournament on fire. I'm not gonna be
Speaker 1: humble in victory or defeat. I'm coming to win this
Speaker 1: whole thing. He's gonna stomp in Eddie's head on Saturday Night.
Speaker 3: The Eddie Kingston that we all know and Love is
Speaker 3: coming back with that gas can in his hand. He's
Speaker 3: not gonna be able to hold this up forever.
Speaker 1: And we had Tony Shavani with the Stings final match
Speaker 1: thing with Rick Flair.
Speaker 3: What was he wearing? He's wearing one of your suits,
Speaker 3: wasn't they?
Speaker 4: Man? They love they love Rick Flair.
Speaker 1: But uh, it's like, first they're interviewing Sting and man
Speaker 1: Flair is just standing there and he's not even reacting,
Speaker 1: and he's got sunglasses on. I'm like, I hope this
Speaker 1: guy's not sleeping right now. And then they go to
Speaker 1: him and he just starts. He just says whatever comes
Speaker 1: into his brain. And uh, it's been a problem with
Speaker 1: him over the years, well, I mean on TV shows.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I guess it has.
Speaker 1: But I mean when he started talking about how they
Speaker 1: rehearse the match, I was like, you couldn't tape this
Speaker 1: thing again. They have too much respect for the guy.
Speaker 4: Just let it go.
Speaker 1: Rouche and Mark Brisco in a tournament match, gal Lee,
Speaker 1: g you know, I really gotta think, you know, this
Speaker 1: is gonna be like people are gonna they won't even
Speaker 1: be able to wrap their heads around the possibility. But
Speaker 1: I'm trying to figure out what my favorite match of
Speaker 1: the week was, because man, that Elia Dragonov match on NXT,
Speaker 1: goll Lee, that match was so awesome, and the main
Speaker 1: event was like a different kind of awesome, you know,
Speaker 1: that was more a traditional pro wrestling kind of awesome.
Speaker 1: But uh, this Ruche and Mark Briscoe match, I.
Speaker 4: Mean, I don't know, this match ruled.
Speaker 1: It was like it was like two Rushes facing each
Speaker 1: other because.
Speaker 3: Hey, hey to Mark Briscoe either way.
Speaker 1: Well you know, now, I know I won't say that, okay,
Speaker 1: because Mark Briscoe does have two speeds. Okay, Mark brisco
Speaker 1: can go in there and not be an absolute complete
Speaker 1: maniac go in fifty five thousand miles an hour. Ruche
Speaker 1: only has one speed, Okay, So this actually was two
Speaker 1: Rushes in the ring with each other and it was awesome.
Speaker 1: And the one actual Rush, the shoot Rush, he killed
Speaker 1: him with a drop kick in the corner for the
Speaker 1: pin match absolutely ruled. I think this is the best
Speaker 1: match in the tournament so far, although the the Brody
Speaker 1: King match with Eddie on Collision had also ruled. Then
Speaker 1: we had a Tony Storms segment. Does everyone still love these?
Speaker 1: Is that out of curiosity? Just seems like it's, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, bit, same old, same old, A.
Speaker 3: Lot more RJ City in this mix. Now, I wonder
Speaker 3: how many casts of characters we're going to get in
Speaker 3: this thing. We got Mariah may now in, we got
Speaker 3: RJ City, we got Luther.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I'm about to lose it. Remember when
Speaker 1: Jingo quit because I chewed him out so bad. I'm
Speaker 1: about to dig in, he goes. Brian managed a DVR
Speaker 1: NXT every week. Interesting, Yeah, you absolute moron, explained this
Speaker 1: last night n XT. It always catches the overrun every time. Yeah,
Speaker 1: not once ever, whether the overrun is three minutes, nine minutes,
Speaker 1: or sixteen minutes, not onceever. His YouTube TV cut off
Speaker 1: the overrun. Ever, that's the point. The point is it
Speaker 1: can be done because it happens every week on NXT,
Speaker 1: but for some damn reason, anytime AW goes over it
Speaker 1: cuts it off. So it ain't a problem with me.
Speaker 1: It ain't a problem. It's a problem with a w
Speaker 1: Get hold of these people and figure it out.
Speaker 3: I agree, I have YouTube TV.
Speaker 1: It's okay, DJ. I'm not mad at you. You should
Speaker 1: have deleted that. What a stupid comment. Anyway, where were we?
Speaker 1: MGF did a promoeah total old school babyface promo puts
Speaker 1: over Samoa Joe as a man who broke the mold
Speaker 1: because we didn't have large men in main event positions
Speaker 1: before Samojo guys born in nineteen ninety six.
Speaker 3: What do you want?
Speaker 1: So anyway, he said he's gonna beat this guy at
Speaker 1: the paper. He's a hell of a babyface promo. And
Speaker 1: then the lights went out and I don't know if
Speaker 1: it was supposed to be the actual devil or just
Speaker 1: three of four of his henchmen, but they start beating
Speaker 1: up MJF. And then Joe runs down to make the save,
Speaker 1: and then we add like I thought my TV broke.
Speaker 1: The screen went black and you couldn't hear anything. It
Speaker 1: was like completely silent as well, and.
Speaker 4: I'm waiting and I'm waiting.
Speaker 1: And I'm I actually pushed the screen to go. Is
Speaker 1: the time actually moving forward? And finally the words appear
Speaker 1: on the screen. They challenged MJF and Simojo to a.
Speaker 4: Tag next week.
Speaker 1: The scripts wrote that, and Max accepts, and Joe's angry
Speaker 1: because he wants him to heal up and Max is
Speaker 1: not healing out. And then after the break, the announcers say,
Speaker 1: whoever that devil is at the ability to break into
Speaker 1: the audio and video system's a bad excuse. So and
Speaker 1: for those of you wondering, like I ain't gonna make
Speaker 1: a bet because I got to take a break after
Speaker 1: I actually I'm like Vince McMahon when he guaranteed him
Speaker 1: then that one day he failed. The Devil's not Britt Baker.
Speaker 1: I don't know who it is, but i'd be very
Speaker 1: very surprised. Like everyone's singing, this is all in Angle
Speaker 1: and she's going to be the devil. Don't hold your breath.
Speaker 3: It's the forum. I believe that they were analyzing the
Speaker 3: mask and seeing if it had feminine enough features.
Speaker 1: Where it was oh my god, you people come.
Speaker 3: On to your people, your forum.
Speaker 1: Well, you know, me and Dave were talking about this
Speaker 1: last night. It suddenly hit me that you knew what
Speaker 1: a hacker gimmick was. Sammy Callahan. You know, it's been
Speaker 1: backstage quite a bit at eight. Sammy Callahan.
Speaker 3: Ain't gonna be Sammy Callahan either. I wouldn't think.
Speaker 1: Could be Callahan, could be Cold, it could be jungle Boy,
Speaker 1: but I would not expect to be a Britt Baker.
Speaker 3: I think he got a problem. If it's not, well,
Speaker 3: here's the thing. People are gonna be disappointed. If it's
Speaker 3: Jungle Boy, I don't know. If it's Nick Namath, if
Speaker 3: it's Nick Nemeth. Look, if it's Sammie Kellen, if it's
Speaker 3: somebody who we haven't seen before, it better be to
Speaker 3: a level, you know what I'm saying. And I think
Speaker 3: anything else is gonna be maybe a little bit disappointing,
Speaker 3: probably a lot disappointing.
Speaker 1: And we had h we're low beating Airfox, you know,
Speaker 1: the drill, top Flight Action Andretti versus the Hardy's and
Speaker 1: Brothers A. This is one of those things. I don't
Speaker 1: want to get mad yet. Okay, I don't want to
Speaker 1: get mad yet. But I thought Top Flight Action Andrey
Speaker 1: were a great fun team. I thought it's something for
Speaker 1: Action Andretti to do, so he's not just getting buried
Speaker 1: every week and beaten. And I thought, man, let these
Speaker 1: guys go on on a tear and challenge for those
Speaker 1: trios titles. That'd be a lot of fun. And then
Speaker 1: the very next segment, Penta Commander and VIKINGO show up
Speaker 1: and challenge him. I thought, actually, you know what, I
Speaker 1: guess it's possible they could beat him, but that certainly
Speaker 1: wasn't what I thought was gonna happen when I saw
Speaker 1: those guys show up. But we'll see.
Speaker 3: I hope that and the Martins do beat him. They
Speaker 3: should beat him.
Speaker 1: They should, That's my point. When these guys showed up,
Speaker 1: I got, oh, man, they're gonna have a great match
Speaker 1: and lose.
Speaker 4: I don't want that.
Speaker 1: Then we had Julia Hard and Emmy Soakrara. If I
Speaker 1: ever mentioned how much I hate the house rules conceptulous,
Speaker 1: I don't have time here. I'll do that tonight on
Speaker 1: the Brian and Anny show. We had an uh excellent
Speaker 1: promo with Christian and.
Speaker 3: Uh Adam Copeland.
Speaker 1: Yeah, people text me to know the show. We had
Speaker 1: an excellent Christian and so basically here's the story. I'll
Speaker 1: review the entire thing on Brian and Vade tonight, but essentially,
Speaker 1: Adam Copeland has challenged Christian to a TBS or T
Speaker 1: and T title match next week on I'll get to
Speaker 1: that later, challenge him to a match next week on Dynamite.
Speaker 1: Christian obviously doesn't want to do the match. So Christian
Speaker 1: comes out and he just pulls out the violin and
Speaker 1: he just goes on and on about all the stuff
Speaker 1: we used to do and we were family and we
Speaker 1: were friends. And he finally pulls out the mother card.
Speaker 1: Your dead mother would have wanted us to team together,
Speaker 1: and so Christian, you know, Ede, she just turns his
Speaker 1: back and he hangs his head, and of course, this
Speaker 1: absolute creepy little freak grabs a belt and he goes
Speaker 1: to hit well at him, and Adam punts him in
Speaker 1: the nuts. He says, nice, try tell me next week
Speaker 1: at titles coming Home with me. I couldn't do justice
Speaker 1: to this segment. Christian was so awesome and Ed's just
Speaker 1: looking at him was so great.
Speaker 4: So this was incredible.
Speaker 1: So anyway, you know why I had that look on
Speaker 1: my face while I was reviewing this.
Speaker 3: Because you were about to say the effort like edged it.
Speaker 1: Not only do you know, not only do I get
Speaker 1: all these people texting me as I'm trying to do
Speaker 1: a report here, but I am still getting emails. They're
Speaker 1: still coming in and we are now at August of
Speaker 1: twenty twenty.
Speaker 4: So that's that's good. We're getting closer to twenty twenty.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but every.
Speaker 1: Day some email comes in or I almost have a
Speaker 1: heart attack before. I realized this from years ago, but
Speaker 1: this one when it came in, I knew it was
Speaker 1: from years ago. But it is quite funny. If I
Speaker 1: may remind you all, it was August five of twenty twenty,
Speaker 1: just three short years ago the WWE named Nick Kahn
Speaker 1: President and Chief revenue Officer. Wow, what a career trajectory
Speaker 1: this man has had over the last three years.
Speaker 4: How about that?
Speaker 1: I kind of liked that sing where I'm getting sent
Speaker 1: emails from a while ago, because like, Wow, well do
Speaker 1: you really lost that title right before Crown Jewel?
Speaker 4: Are you kidding me?
Speaker 3: Wilson out the door? That was That was a controversial
Speaker 3: move at the time. Shake up and of ideas seems
Speaker 3: to have paid off.
Speaker 1: So then we had the main event and Jay White
Speaker 1: and Swerve in a tournament match, which, although I did
Speaker 1: not see the end of the match, what I did
Speaker 1: see I thought was very good.
Speaker 4: And they are. It's interesting.
Speaker 1: They're like positioning Swerve and all the matches thus far,
Speaker 1: he's he's rustling heels and all these matches he's getting
Speaker 1: babyface reactions. Swerve's house chance are going crazy for.
Speaker 4: His his deal.
Speaker 1: The devil just invaded this show. Who your thing got
Speaker 1: all glitchy. But I've been told, you know, I report
Speaker 1: on this stuff, so my sources tell me that Swore
Speaker 1: won this match, so he gained three points in the tournament.
Speaker 1: But overall, I mean, hey, let's look at the bright side, everybody.
Speaker 1: Over the last whatever it was Tuesday and Wednesday, we
Speaker 1: saw some great pro wrestling between AW NXT, three good
Speaker 1: to great tournament matches on the aw show and absolutely
Speaker 1: awesome one on one match on NXT in a great
Speaker 1: four way. So as a fan, I was quite pleased
Speaker 1: with what I saw, quite pleased. Indeed, back in a
Speaker 1: moment Observer Live.
Speaker 2: You were listening to Wrestling Observer Live with Brian Alvarez
Speaker 2: and Mike SIMPERVV on the Sports Byline Broadcasting Network.
Speaker 1: Can't, for the life of me believe I fell for
Speaker 1: this one. I think you guys should like setting me
Speaker 1: off sky here on the YouTube, Chad goes Brian hates
Speaker 1: fun that is not campy. That is why he hates
Speaker 1: House Rules, but he loves NXT. No, I hate House
Speaker 1: Rules because it's stupid and it doesn't make any sense
Speaker 1: and it's nonsense. Okay, House rules is House of Black
Speaker 1: allowing an opponent to choose a stipulation. Okay, so what
Speaker 1: happened last night was Emmy Sokker had chose the stipulation,
Speaker 1: can you Julie Hard cannot win via submission? Okay, Now,
Speaker 1: if you're a simpleton, if you're a numbskull, you're like,
Speaker 1: oh I like this angle, it's silly or whatever. No,
Speaker 1: it's still spid because a Emmi's sokra after requesting a
Speaker 1: match where Julia cannot win via submission, First off, she
Speaker 1: tries a submission, which I don't even know if she
Speaker 1: can win be a submission and I wasn't explained. And
Speaker 1: then when Julia tries a submission, even though she is
Speaker 1: the one that offered, you know, you can pick your
Speaker 1: stipulation or whatever, she tries a submission, Emmy taps her.
Speaker 1: It goes no, submissions don't count, and now Julia's mad, Well,
Speaker 1: why joffer the house rules in lady? And here's a
Speaker 1: bigger issue. Here's the thing that this fella here and
Speaker 1: thinking about. Obviously, why didn't Emmy soccer is say the
Speaker 1: stipulation is you can only win via bear hug? Why
Speaker 1: didn't she say that? Yeah, I'd like to see Julia
Speaker 1: Hart try and beat emmy soccer with a bear hug.
Speaker 4: Probably not happening.
Speaker 1: Yeah, why didn't she say that? Why didn't she say
Speaker 1: you can only win if you pin me for a
Speaker 1: five hundred count.
Speaker 4: Well, you didn't say it because.
Speaker 1: You see, the stipulation is stupid that you allow somebody
Speaker 1: to choose the stipulation, because it's stupid that you would
Speaker 1: allow that, and the other person stupid because they never
Speaker 1: chose choose the right stipulation. It's always something, Oh can
Speaker 1: would be a submission, go all the way? Sucks, but
Speaker 1: I need lunch. I'll talk to you next time. Observer Life,
Speaker 1: you have been listening to the Wrestling Observer Daily podcast
Speaker 1: on the eight Side Network
