WEBVTT - Giant Weekend Wrap Up!

0:00:00.280 --> 0:00:02.840
<v Speaker 1>Hey, this is Brian Alvarez and this is today's edition

0:00:02.840 --> 0:00:08.160
<v Speaker 1>of the Wrestling Observer Daily podcast on the eight Side Network.

0:00:09.640 --> 0:00:15.480
<v Speaker 1>Let's get it all. How's it going, everybody? Brian Alvarez

0:00:15.600 --> 0:00:18.720
<v Speaker 1>here on Wrestling Over Live. We are here every day

0:00:18.840 --> 0:00:22.079
<v Speaker 1>Monday through Friday, now Pacific three e sterns Sunday three Pacific,

0:00:22.079 --> 0:00:27.200
<v Speaker 1>sixth Eastern. It's Monday here on this show. And we

0:00:27.320 --> 0:00:30.720
<v Speaker 1>got a lot to talk about, don't we. This weekend

0:00:30.720 --> 0:00:34.839
<v Speaker 1>there were eight thousand shows. We had Rampage, we had

0:00:34.960 --> 0:00:37.479
<v Speaker 1>Battle of the Belts, we had SmackDown, we had Bound

0:00:37.479 --> 0:00:40.680
<v Speaker 1>for Glory, we had Extreme Rules, we had the return

0:00:40.760 --> 0:00:43.479
<v Speaker 1>of Bray Wyatt. We gotta get into all of that.

0:00:43.960 --> 0:00:46.680
<v Speaker 1>And on top of that, we got news, a lot

0:00:46.680 --> 0:00:52.360
<v Speaker 1>of news, including returns at expected returns. Well, Bray White returned,

0:00:52.360 --> 0:00:55.120
<v Speaker 1>as we know, also likely to be returning soon, the

0:00:55.120 --> 0:00:59.520
<v Speaker 1>Good Brothers Bo Dallas is on his way back, and

0:01:00.120 --> 0:01:03.120
<v Speaker 1>as we'll talk about later, it's kind of interesting because

0:01:04.520 --> 0:01:08.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, there's a lot of a lot of talk

0:01:08.360 --> 0:01:11.119
<v Speaker 1>about certain things going on in a w and they're

0:01:11.280 --> 0:01:13.440
<v Speaker 1>guys there not a lot of them, but we know

0:01:13.520 --> 0:01:15.880
<v Speaker 1>there are a few names that they wanted to get

0:01:15.880 --> 0:01:17.399
<v Speaker 1>out and they wanted to go back to w w E.

0:01:18.160 --> 0:01:20.479
<v Speaker 1>And one of the reasons that they wanted to get

0:01:20.480 --> 0:01:22.039
<v Speaker 1>out and go back to w w E was a

0:01:22.319 --> 0:01:26.360
<v Speaker 1>Vince was gone and they had faith in Triple H

0:01:26.440 --> 0:01:30.520
<v Speaker 1>that they did not have in in Vince McMahon. And also,

0:01:30.640 --> 0:01:32.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, when they were in w w E, they

0:01:32.040 --> 0:01:34.520
<v Speaker 1>worked a lot more, and they work a lot less

0:01:34.560 --> 0:01:37.160
<v Speaker 1>in a W And some some people in a W

0:01:37.040 --> 0:01:40.479
<v Speaker 1>would be perfectly happy working less and making a lot

0:01:40.520 --> 0:01:43.880
<v Speaker 1>of money. Other people want to work a lot And

0:01:44.120 --> 0:01:47.040
<v Speaker 1>the irony here is what everybody has talked about in

0:01:47.120 --> 0:01:50.760
<v Speaker 1>a W as my god, there's so much talent. There's

0:01:50.840 --> 0:01:54.240
<v Speaker 1>more talent than you've got enough TV to do stuff

0:01:54.280 --> 0:01:55.920
<v Speaker 1>with everybody. It's just you can't do it. There's there's

0:01:55.960 --> 0:02:00.840
<v Speaker 1>too many people. Well, here we are adding, adding, adding,

0:02:00.960 --> 0:02:04.000
<v Speaker 1>adding the w w E. And you know, it's great

0:02:04.000 --> 0:02:06.480
<v Speaker 1>for the people that are now employed again, but we

0:02:06.560 --> 0:02:08.960
<v Speaker 1>are literally gonna end up in the exact same situation

0:02:09.040 --> 0:02:13.240
<v Speaker 1>where there's too much talent and not enough television time.

0:02:14.000 --> 0:02:16.720
<v Speaker 1>And then of course, you know, ultimately it's gonna this

0:02:16.760 --> 0:02:18.799
<v Speaker 1>will end up evening out between people who wanting to

0:02:18.840 --> 0:02:20.960
<v Speaker 1>go to a W stay in w w E. But

0:02:21.400 --> 0:02:24.720
<v Speaker 1>it is. It is interesting how this is all moving

0:02:24.760 --> 0:02:27.440
<v Speaker 1>forward here anyway. Back in a moment, Mikes REVIVI joins

0:02:27.520 --> 0:02:44.160
<v Speaker 1>us hopefully press overlive back in the show, Bran ober

0:02:44.320 --> 0:02:48.120
<v Speaker 1>is here Wrestling Observer Alive, Mike's and Burviv also Wrestling

0:02:48.160 --> 0:02:52.480
<v Speaker 1>Observer dot Com. Well, you know, we had Extreme Rules

0:02:52.520 --> 0:02:56.400
<v Speaker 1>the other day, and you'll never guess what happened at

0:02:56.400 --> 0:03:01.560
<v Speaker 1>the end of Extreme Rules. Everybody bray why it's returned?

0:03:02.919 --> 0:03:05.560
<v Speaker 1>W w E. Bray White, I guess is the White Rabbit.

0:03:05.600 --> 0:03:07.639
<v Speaker 1>Maybe he's not. You know, he's got a lot of

0:03:07.680 --> 0:03:09.720
<v Speaker 1>stuff going on. I don't know what's going on, but

0:03:09.800 --> 0:03:12.280
<v Speaker 1>I do know that Bray White is back, and I

0:03:12.320 --> 0:03:14.880
<v Speaker 1>do know if you watched the end of the show,

0:03:16.040 --> 0:03:18.840
<v Speaker 1>they had bray White singing He's got the whole world

0:03:18.880 --> 0:03:21.280
<v Speaker 1>in his hands, and then they cut around the building

0:03:21.400 --> 0:03:26.360
<v Speaker 1>and there was the Buzzard, there was the Fat Pig

0:03:26.600 --> 0:03:33.240
<v Speaker 1>Huscus and various other critters and creatures and two sets

0:03:33.280 --> 0:03:36.560
<v Speaker 1>of women's tag team titles. I guess one set of

0:03:36.640 --> 0:03:41.680
<v Speaker 1>tag team titles. And there's been a lot of people

0:03:41.680 --> 0:03:44.400
<v Speaker 1>trying to figure out what's going on. It's a puzzle

0:03:45.240 --> 0:03:49.120
<v Speaker 1>my design, and I don't know what's going on? And

0:03:49.360 --> 0:03:52.360
<v Speaker 1>they did a they did a Ronda Rousey Live Morgan match,

0:03:52.920 --> 0:03:55.320
<v Speaker 1>and they had this finish where I don't even know

0:03:55.360 --> 0:03:57.280
<v Speaker 1>what happened. I could not, for the life of me

0:03:57.280 --> 0:04:00.800
<v Speaker 1>figure out that finish. But whatever, whatever that disaster was,

0:04:00.880 --> 0:04:04.440
<v Speaker 1>what happened was run to one and then live. As

0:04:04.480 --> 0:04:07.480
<v Speaker 1>she was passing out with smiling, I thought she was

0:04:07.560 --> 0:04:10.720
<v Speaker 1>laughing because the finish was so botched. But apparently after

0:04:10.760 --> 0:04:12.840
<v Speaker 1>the match was over and they cut away, she sat

0:04:12.880 --> 0:04:15.440
<v Speaker 1>in the ring and she laughed for a while. So

0:04:15.480 --> 0:04:19.560
<v Speaker 1>now everyone's trying to figure out this this mystery. And

0:04:21.120 --> 0:04:24.359
<v Speaker 1>you know, I always talked about the lore of the Fiend.

0:04:26.000 --> 0:04:28.920
<v Speaker 1>That was a term that was used on my timeline once,

0:04:29.040 --> 0:04:32.800
<v Speaker 1>the lore of the Fiend. And as much as I

0:04:32.960 --> 0:04:39.200
<v Speaker 1>mock that, the fact is there is lore regarding the Fiend.

0:04:40.400 --> 0:04:45.040
<v Speaker 1>And at the end of the day, they got a story,

0:04:46.040 --> 0:04:48.640
<v Speaker 1>and apparently it's a long one and there will be

0:04:48.680 --> 0:04:54.200
<v Speaker 1>twists and turns, and it's gonna go likely through WrestleMania,

0:04:54.360 --> 0:05:01.520
<v Speaker 1>and it will involve bray Huskus, the Fat Big and

0:05:01.600 --> 0:05:05.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure Sister Abigail and I'm sure Alexa Bliss will

0:05:05.839 --> 0:05:10.039
<v Speaker 1>figure in and maybe live more again. And maybe the

0:05:10.080 --> 0:05:13.400
<v Speaker 1>returning bow Dallice, who is in fact on his way back.

0:05:15.279 --> 0:05:17.560
<v Speaker 1>I cannot believe how much people God bless the guy.

0:05:17.600 --> 0:05:20.279
<v Speaker 1>I got nothing against bow Dallas, but man, I just

0:05:20.320 --> 0:05:22.839
<v Speaker 1>threw out on my to my super followers that I

0:05:22.839 --> 0:05:25.960
<v Speaker 1>had heard from multiple sources at bow Dallas was coming back. Man,

0:05:26.000 --> 0:05:28.960
<v Speaker 1>that exploded my face. I was like, it's bow Dallas.

0:05:29.160 --> 0:05:31.680
<v Speaker 1>Apparently it's a big deal. Bo Dallas is on his

0:05:31.720 --> 0:05:34.880
<v Speaker 1>way back, and we'll see where this all goes with

0:05:34.960 --> 0:05:38.559
<v Speaker 1>the Fiend, because you know, they said about the Fiend,

0:05:38.560 --> 0:05:41.000
<v Speaker 1>they said, you know a lot of this really dumb

0:05:41.040 --> 0:05:43.240
<v Speaker 1>stuff that you don't like about the Fiend character, the

0:05:43.320 --> 0:05:46.640
<v Speaker 1>magic and the goofiness and the worms and all that,

0:05:46.640 --> 0:05:50.520
<v Speaker 1>that was all Vince. That's what people have said. Well,

0:05:50.520 --> 0:05:53.080
<v Speaker 1>you know what, Vince is gone, and so we're gonna

0:05:53.080 --> 0:05:57.760
<v Speaker 1>find out, maybe starting tonight, if that was true or

0:05:57.800 --> 0:06:00.839
<v Speaker 1>if that's just what people said the place blame on

0:06:00.880 --> 0:06:03.159
<v Speaker 1>how stupid some of that stuff was. We're gonna find

0:06:03.160 --> 0:06:05.960
<v Speaker 1>out soon enough. Now what we might, Yes, we will.

0:06:06.720 --> 0:06:11.320
<v Speaker 1>I make movies to pal Hey it's w w A

0:06:12.080 --> 0:06:15.080
<v Speaker 1>And for anything you want to say about it. They

0:06:15.480 --> 0:06:18.800
<v Speaker 1>sunk some time and effort and some money into that production.

0:06:18.839 --> 0:06:21.839
<v Speaker 1>At the end of that show, did do Matt Riddle

0:06:21.920 --> 0:06:24.840
<v Speaker 1>and Seth rollins any favors? No, but who cares. But

0:06:24.920 --> 0:06:27.440
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't really matter. That's what the whole thing was

0:06:27.480 --> 0:06:31.000
<v Speaker 1>building up to. They can do the video package on

0:06:31.120 --> 0:06:33.120
<v Speaker 1>Seth and Riddle and make you think that was the

0:06:33.160 --> 0:06:35.640
<v Speaker 1>greatest ending in the world. Nothing happened after it, but

0:06:36.200 --> 0:06:38.600
<v Speaker 1>it was all about getting to that with Bray and

0:06:38.640 --> 0:06:41.480
<v Speaker 1>we'll see what happens. Do these characters come to life?

0:06:41.880 --> 0:06:44.440
<v Speaker 1>Are they just going to go back into whatever form

0:06:44.520 --> 0:06:47.039
<v Speaker 1>that they were in before. Is it's going to be

0:06:47.080 --> 0:06:50.080
<v Speaker 1>a lot of the spooky and the supernatural as it

0:06:50.160 --> 0:06:52.679
<v Speaker 1>was before. I guess We're just gonna have to see.

0:06:53.080 --> 0:06:55.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm willing to give it a chance, but I'm not

0:06:55.960 --> 0:06:58.320
<v Speaker 1>as over the moon about it as some people are.

0:06:58.680 --> 0:07:01.359
<v Speaker 1>Certainly not as over the moon about it as whoever

0:07:01.480 --> 0:07:05.120
<v Speaker 1>was controlling the voice over of the crowd, because the

0:07:05.160 --> 0:07:08.160
<v Speaker 1>sweetening that seemed to take place during that show was

0:07:08.720 --> 0:07:11.360
<v Speaker 1>epic at times. But I know he did get a

0:07:11.360 --> 0:07:14.680
<v Speaker 1>good reaction coming back. Look, people will forget about the

0:07:14.720 --> 0:07:17.400
<v Speaker 1>new thing or the old thing if the new thing

0:07:17.520 --> 0:07:20.640
<v Speaker 1>is good, So I'm willing to go for the ride. Here,

0:07:20.720 --> 0:07:22.760
<v Speaker 1>But you've got to prove yourself to me. I'm just

0:07:22.800 --> 0:07:24.400
<v Speaker 1>not going to give it to you and expect this

0:07:24.440 --> 0:07:27.240
<v Speaker 1>thing to be great, because, as we talked talked about

0:07:27.280 --> 0:07:31.080
<v Speaker 1>with the Art House thing, you know, if people don't

0:07:31.160 --> 0:07:34.040
<v Speaker 1>react well to this or there are skeptics about it,

0:07:34.240 --> 0:07:36.480
<v Speaker 1>how can you blame them? Look at the way you

0:07:36.920 --> 0:07:40.160
<v Speaker 1>buried everybody, and it's again not his fault intentionally, but

0:07:40.240 --> 0:07:44.240
<v Speaker 1>how much the bray white character hurt the product and

0:07:44.360 --> 0:07:48.480
<v Speaker 1>hurt people. So you know, people are a little skeptical

0:07:48.520 --> 0:07:50.440
<v Speaker 1>about it. You gotta expect that if you're w W,

0:07:50.720 --> 0:07:52.840
<v Speaker 1>it's not people that are hating or anything like that.

0:07:53.360 --> 0:07:56.760
<v Speaker 1>He and WW have got to prove themselves with this thing,

0:07:56.760 --> 0:07:58.920
<v Speaker 1>and we'll see what happens. It looks like it's going

0:07:58.960 --> 0:08:01.640
<v Speaker 1>to be though also for some of the people listening

0:08:01.640 --> 0:08:04.840
<v Speaker 1>out here with short detention spans, they look like they

0:08:04.880 --> 0:08:07.400
<v Speaker 1>may be spending a lot of time on this. So

0:08:07.440 --> 0:08:10.520
<v Speaker 1>all these clues and things like this that sort of

0:08:10.560 --> 0:08:13.240
<v Speaker 1>slight of hand and that sort of psychology in this story,

0:08:13.800 --> 0:08:15.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't think it's gonna be something that you can

0:08:15.760 --> 0:08:17.840
<v Speaker 1>just kind of blow off. It's something that's gonna be

0:08:18.040 --> 0:08:21.160
<v Speaker 1>looks like it's gonna be embedded heavily week after week,

0:08:21.200 --> 0:08:23.040
<v Speaker 1>and it's gonna be something they have a long term

0:08:23.040 --> 0:08:28.000
<v Speaker 1>plan for. Well, the show, we had the brawling brutes

0:08:28.080 --> 0:08:33.079
<v Speaker 1>beating Imperium seventeen minutes and fifty seconds in a good

0:08:33.120 --> 0:08:37.600
<v Speaker 1>old fashioned Donnie Brooke match. I cannot recommend this match more.

0:08:38.160 --> 0:08:40.440
<v Speaker 1>If you're asking me what did I miss? What should

0:08:40.480 --> 0:08:45.000
<v Speaker 1>I see? Well, what you should see is the old

0:08:45.200 --> 0:08:47.520
<v Speaker 1>the good old fat, not just an old fashioned, a

0:08:47.600 --> 0:08:50.400
<v Speaker 1>good old fashion. I would call it a great old

0:08:50.400 --> 0:08:54.400
<v Speaker 1>fashioned Donnie brook match. It was awesome, brawling brutes got

0:08:54.400 --> 0:08:59.800
<v Speaker 1>the win, and just violence and hitting people really hard

0:08:59.840 --> 0:09:02.280
<v Speaker 1>and safe places, which is my favorite kind of hitting,

0:09:03.000 --> 0:09:06.120
<v Speaker 1>and it was very good. Run Da Rousey beat Live

0:09:06.240 --> 0:09:10.319
<v Speaker 1>Morgan in an extreme rules match lives lives. I mean

0:09:10.320 --> 0:09:12.160
<v Speaker 1>she's got to be turning heel or something, because man,

0:09:12.200 --> 0:09:14.520
<v Speaker 1>they have done her zero or they're incompetent. I mean

0:09:14.520 --> 0:09:18.080
<v Speaker 1>it's one or the other. They have done her no favors.

0:09:18.120 --> 0:09:20.880
<v Speaker 1>She gets in there as a baby face. She's afraid

0:09:20.960 --> 0:09:23.800
<v Speaker 1>to face Run Da Rousey one on one, even though

0:09:23.840 --> 0:09:25.600
<v Speaker 1>the story is she's the only person to ever beat

0:09:25.640 --> 0:09:28.560
<v Speaker 1>her twice. She has to run for her bat. She

0:09:28.640 --> 0:09:30.400
<v Speaker 1>finally gets a hold of the bat and run to

0:09:30.520 --> 0:09:33.840
<v Speaker 1>beats her ass and then she beats her and she

0:09:33.880 --> 0:09:36.679
<v Speaker 1>beats her and she beats her, live gets a little

0:09:36.679 --> 0:09:39.480
<v Speaker 1>bit of heat. Runda beats or beats her, beats her,

0:09:39.559 --> 0:09:43.360
<v Speaker 1>submits her, and wins the title back. So what a

0:09:44.000 --> 0:09:46.040
<v Speaker 1>You know, that moment where she won money in the

0:09:46.040 --> 0:09:49.439
<v Speaker 1>bank was like a fantastic moment and the cash in

0:09:49.640 --> 0:09:53.880
<v Speaker 1>was great and it was vince. They had no earthly

0:09:53.880 --> 0:09:56.800
<v Speaker 1>idea what to do with liv Morrigan, and so they

0:09:56.840 --> 0:10:01.040
<v Speaker 1>gave her that other win over Rhonda, which was totally lame.

0:10:01.640 --> 0:10:04.040
<v Speaker 1>And you just knew this day was coming, and it

0:10:04.080 --> 0:10:05.640
<v Speaker 1>has come, and now we need to move on to

0:10:05.760 --> 0:10:08.720
<v Speaker 1>something else. Wait a second before you move on anything else,

0:10:09.120 --> 0:10:12.120
<v Speaker 1>this just hit me. Who is her? Is she with?

0:10:12.720 --> 0:10:14.640
<v Speaker 1>Because I don't know he can keep up with a

0:10:14.640 --> 0:10:20.959
<v Speaker 1>lot of wrestler's personal lives. Is she with bow Dallas? Well,

0:10:21.040 --> 0:10:23.720
<v Speaker 1>I mean that's certainly the rumor, but I have not

0:10:23.800 --> 0:10:26.280
<v Speaker 1>been in their farm, so I cannot. Ah, that's right,

0:10:26.320 --> 0:10:29.920
<v Speaker 1>it was the farm that he was going to retire to. Hmm.

0:10:30.520 --> 0:10:33.760
<v Speaker 1>You know he was all about believing and her whole

0:10:34.080 --> 0:10:37.679
<v Speaker 1>thing with her character has been she loses a lot

0:10:37.720 --> 0:10:40.960
<v Speaker 1>and screws up a lot and takes big els, but

0:10:41.080 --> 0:10:44.000
<v Speaker 1>she always believed in herself that she was going to

0:10:44.080 --> 0:10:47.440
<v Speaker 1>come back. M I wonder if that all ties together,

0:10:47.600 --> 0:10:51.280
<v Speaker 1>we will We will find out, now, won't we. Sometimes

0:10:51.280 --> 0:10:54.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm about ready to retire to a farm. We had

0:10:54.520 --> 0:10:57.640
<v Speaker 1>Karen Cross and Drew mcatarians trap match. They had ten minutes.

0:10:57.960 --> 0:11:00.080
<v Speaker 1>They have farms in Hawaii. I would say, yeah, of

0:11:00.120 --> 0:11:02.800
<v Speaker 1>course you do. I would say that this match was good.

0:11:02.880 --> 0:11:05.040
<v Speaker 1>I would not say the match was great. I thought

0:11:05.040 --> 0:11:07.439
<v Speaker 1>that Drew McIntyre was pretty great. I thought the carrying

0:11:07.480 --> 0:11:10.480
<v Speaker 1>cross was fine. A strap the heck out of each other,

0:11:11.160 --> 0:11:15.920
<v Speaker 1>and carrying Cross ended up beating Drew when Scarlet sprayed

0:11:16.160 --> 0:11:19.120
<v Speaker 1>pepper spray into the eyes of Drew mcatire. Because if

0:11:19.120 --> 0:11:21.520
<v Speaker 1>you haven't figured out the feud, they're working the eye.

0:11:24.440 --> 0:11:27.240
<v Speaker 1>I didn't know you could soften up an eye, but

0:11:27.320 --> 0:11:29.760
<v Speaker 1>that's what they're doing. Haven't you been watching? The next day,

0:11:29.880 --> 0:11:32.240
<v Speaker 1>Bianca bell Air beat Bailey in a ladder match. They

0:11:32.240 --> 0:11:35.800
<v Speaker 1>went sixteen minutes. I thought they did a good job.

0:11:35.880 --> 0:11:39.400
<v Speaker 1>I thought they worked hard. I thought the match was good.

0:11:39.920 --> 0:11:42.640
<v Speaker 1>I would not say that it was great. Bianc ended

0:11:42.720 --> 0:11:48.600
<v Speaker 1>up the whole Heel crew ran in control whatever the

0:11:48.679 --> 0:11:52.840
<v Speaker 1>damage control, and they you know, Oscar is injured and

0:11:53.000 --> 0:11:55.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what's up with Alexa, so Bianc had

0:11:55.040 --> 0:11:56.560
<v Speaker 1>to run them all off on her own and then

0:11:56.679 --> 0:12:00.400
<v Speaker 1>she climbed up after hitting Bailey with her finish on ladder,

0:12:00.480 --> 0:12:03.520
<v Speaker 1>got the belt and won, so she is still the champion.

0:12:03.880 --> 0:12:06.720
<v Speaker 1>Finn Balor beat Edge and I quit match. You know

0:12:06.800 --> 0:12:09.880
<v Speaker 1>the finish first off. The first twenty minutes of this

0:12:10.040 --> 0:12:13.920
<v Speaker 1>just the longest most nothing happened in match ever. Last

0:12:13.920 --> 0:12:16.080
<v Speaker 1>ten minutes when everybody ran in, it was actually a

0:12:16.120 --> 0:12:21.000
<v Speaker 1>great dramatic story. And then Edge quit after they threatened

0:12:21.000 --> 0:12:24.480
<v Speaker 1>who can share to his wife? And then after he quit,

0:12:24.559 --> 0:12:29.280
<v Speaker 1>they did it anyway. Heat. I don't want to hear

0:12:29.280 --> 0:12:31.800
<v Speaker 1>about crowd, sweetie. I got some heat back in a

0:12:31.840 --> 0:12:42.720
<v Speaker 1>moment of VI's ever live back in the show. Bryan

0:12:42.760 --> 0:12:45.840
<v Speaker 1>Elber is here Wrestling Observer Live miximbur Vibe also Wrestling

0:12:45.880 --> 0:12:49.520
<v Speaker 1>Observer dot Com. So that Finn Bale or Edge match. Obviously,

0:12:49.520 --> 0:12:52.600
<v Speaker 1>everybody ran in and first the Heels run in, and

0:12:52.640 --> 0:12:56.199
<v Speaker 1>then Ray runs in, and then Ray gets laid out,

0:12:56.320 --> 0:12:59.040
<v Speaker 1>and then Beth runs in and Beth actually killed everybody

0:12:59.120 --> 0:13:02.199
<v Speaker 1>was a great comeback and then Edges handcuffed to the

0:13:02.280 --> 0:13:05.840
<v Speaker 1>ropes and she helps him, but then she gets knocked

0:13:05.880 --> 0:13:09.360
<v Speaker 1>out by Rhea. Edge gets beat up and held down

0:13:09.520 --> 0:13:11.720
<v Speaker 1>and they do the big threat. You either say I

0:13:11.840 --> 0:13:14.840
<v Speaker 1>quit or man, we're gonna give her this concerto and

0:13:14.880 --> 0:13:17.480
<v Speaker 1>he he's forced to say I quit, and they go

0:13:17.600 --> 0:13:19.480
<v Speaker 1>say it again, and so he's gotta say it twice,

0:13:20.520 --> 0:13:22.520
<v Speaker 1>which they actually you know, for those of you that

0:13:23.040 --> 0:13:26.520
<v Speaker 1>still and you know, it's fine. I got a little

0:13:26.559 --> 0:13:30.640
<v Speaker 1>PTSD two. But this storytelling is clearly way better with

0:13:30.679 --> 0:13:33.800
<v Speaker 1>Triple Ahs than with Vince because this whole this has

0:13:33.840 --> 0:13:36.720
<v Speaker 1>all been these these seeds have been planted for a while.

0:13:37.120 --> 0:13:41.160
<v Speaker 1>What's happened in this feud, Well, the Judgment Day has

0:13:41.200 --> 0:13:45.320
<v Speaker 1>been going after Edge and Ray and they're trying to

0:13:45.360 --> 0:13:49.720
<v Speaker 1>recruit AJ styles a j doesn't want to join. Finn

0:13:49.760 --> 0:13:51.840
<v Speaker 1>wants him to do the gimmick and he doesn't want

0:13:51.880 --> 0:13:54.720
<v Speaker 1>to do it. And last week they're building up the

0:13:54.720 --> 0:13:58.000
<v Speaker 1>eye quit match and Edge makes it very clear, there's

0:13:58.120 --> 0:14:00.880
<v Speaker 1>nothing that you can physically do to me. There's no

0:14:00.960 --> 0:14:02.920
<v Speaker 1>amount of pain that you can put me in where

0:14:02.920 --> 0:14:05.720
<v Speaker 1>I will say I quit. And of course now we

0:14:05.800 --> 0:14:09.080
<v Speaker 1>know why. Well, he quit because he was trying to

0:14:09.120 --> 0:14:14.960
<v Speaker 1>save his wife, and the finish obviously sets up uh Rea,

0:14:15.040 --> 0:14:17.480
<v Speaker 1>Ripley and Beth down the road. It sets up mixed

0:14:17.480 --> 0:14:20.800
<v Speaker 1>tags down the road. And what we've also got going here,

0:14:20.840 --> 0:14:25.440
<v Speaker 1>a secondary storyline is that Finnbalor wants a J to

0:14:26.160 --> 0:14:29.520
<v Speaker 1>join him and the Judgment Day, and after they beat

0:14:29.600 --> 0:14:33.280
<v Speaker 1>him up, who will edge? Who will will a J

0:14:33.560 --> 0:14:39.920
<v Speaker 1>bring in to counter the Judgment Day? And I cannot say,

0:14:40.000 --> 0:14:44.280
<v Speaker 1>I cannot say that the Good Brothers are heading to

0:14:44.680 --> 0:14:47.600
<v Speaker 1>w w E, but I'm pretty sure the Good Brothers

0:14:47.720 --> 0:14:50.920
<v Speaker 1>are heading to w w E because they are finished

0:14:50.960 --> 0:14:54.520
<v Speaker 1>with Impact wrestling. That is confirmed, and so their options

0:14:54.520 --> 0:14:56.440
<v Speaker 1>are like a w New Japan or w w E.

0:14:57.040 --> 0:15:00.920
<v Speaker 1>And within w w E, the belief is the Good

0:15:00.960 --> 0:15:03.000
<v Speaker 1>Brothers are coming in. And if you look at the

0:15:03.160 --> 0:15:06.400
<v Speaker 1>J storyline going back weeks, I mean, I think it's

0:15:06.440 --> 0:15:08.880
<v Speaker 1>pretty clear they've been planting the seeds for a J

0:15:09.280 --> 0:15:12.480
<v Speaker 1>and the Good Brothers to reunite, and they take on

0:15:12.640 --> 0:15:16.040
<v Speaker 1>Finnbalor and Damien Priest and Dominic in six man matches,

0:15:16.080 --> 0:15:18.200
<v Speaker 1>and you've got a few there as well, so you

0:15:18.240 --> 0:15:20.480
<v Speaker 1>can see that they are planting seeds and they are

0:15:20.520 --> 0:15:23.160
<v Speaker 1>paying those things off and they're not just dropping stuff.

0:15:23.760 --> 0:15:28.840
<v Speaker 1>So this is an improvement over the Vince regime. And

0:15:28.920 --> 0:15:36.400
<v Speaker 1>it's fascinating because when are they coming in? Does Carl

0:15:36.440 --> 0:15:40.040
<v Speaker 1>Anderson drop the never title first? I believe that he

0:15:40.080 --> 0:15:43.520
<v Speaker 1>will drop the never title first, So there's that, you know,

0:15:43.600 --> 0:15:45.920
<v Speaker 1>which could be Look, that could be an interesting thing

0:15:45.960 --> 0:15:48.360
<v Speaker 1>too if w w E just lets that go a

0:15:48.360 --> 0:15:50.360
<v Speaker 1>little bit past so they can say that they were

0:15:50.400 --> 0:15:54.720
<v Speaker 1>being you know, benevolent and look at how gracious we

0:15:54.760 --> 0:15:57.320
<v Speaker 1>are with this crossover sea. We can do that sort

0:15:57.320 --> 0:16:01.000
<v Speaker 1>of thing too. Um you know, I think would be

0:16:01.240 --> 0:16:03.280
<v Speaker 1>thinking more like you that they're gonna go ahead and

0:16:03.320 --> 0:16:05.800
<v Speaker 1>have him drop the title beforehand. But you never know,

0:16:06.040 --> 0:16:08.240
<v Speaker 1>You're never know in this new era of things. But

0:16:09.320 --> 0:16:12.400
<v Speaker 1>it also interested me that could you do for a

0:16:12.480 --> 0:16:14.920
<v Speaker 1>Survivor series. I would love to see this. And I

0:16:14.960 --> 0:16:17.200
<v Speaker 1>know you have the caveat in w w E that

0:16:17.320 --> 0:16:20.440
<v Speaker 1>you can't have man on woman, but one person that

0:16:20.720 --> 0:16:24.160
<v Speaker 1>one woman that's actually had man on woman violence happened

0:16:24.200 --> 0:16:26.360
<v Speaker 1>to them because of Randy Orton giving her the r

0:16:26.440 --> 0:16:29.480
<v Speaker 1>k O is Beth Phoenix. And if the Good Brothers

0:16:29.560 --> 0:16:31.800
<v Speaker 1>come in and you have Ray Mysterio and you have

0:16:31.920 --> 0:16:35.280
<v Speaker 1>aj styles A great fifth person would be Beth Phoenix,

0:16:35.600 --> 0:16:37.960
<v Speaker 1>and you have Ria Ripley on the other side with

0:16:38.440 --> 0:16:42.160
<v Speaker 1>Finnvalor and Dominic, and I guess you would have to

0:16:42.160 --> 0:16:45.800
<v Speaker 1>get somebody else to pair along with them, alongside Damien Prie.

0:16:46.000 --> 0:16:49.520
<v Speaker 1>So to me, I would love to have something like

0:16:49.600 --> 0:16:52.560
<v Speaker 1>that actually happened, because Beth being back is great. Beth

0:16:52.720 --> 0:16:56.560
<v Speaker 1>in small doses doing anything is fantastic. And I thought

0:16:56.600 --> 0:16:59.840
<v Speaker 1>how everything came across on Saturday night or Sunday night

0:16:59.840 --> 0:17:02.920
<v Speaker 1>at it was great. And then we had met Riddle

0:17:03.000 --> 0:17:06.960
<v Speaker 1>and Seth Rawlins in the main event, a fight pit

0:17:07.119 --> 0:17:11.520
<v Speaker 1>match with Daniel Cormier's a special referee, and Daniel Cormier

0:17:11.680 --> 0:17:14.880
<v Speaker 1>was just a special referee, and he did a couple

0:17:14.880 --> 0:17:17.399
<v Speaker 1>of spots early and then he stayed out of the way.

0:17:17.560 --> 0:17:20.119
<v Speaker 1>They had one questionable spot with him at the end,

0:17:20.160 --> 0:17:23.119
<v Speaker 1>which was when Seth took a curb stomp and instead

0:17:23.119 --> 0:17:26.400
<v Speaker 1>of just counting like he was supposed to, Daniel Cormier

0:17:26.600 --> 0:17:30.160
<v Speaker 1>made sure he was okay first and then counted, which

0:17:30.200 --> 0:17:32.960
<v Speaker 1>they played up in storyline as why did he do that?

0:17:33.000 --> 0:17:35.040
<v Speaker 1>And Seth is yelling at him and the announcers are

0:17:35.080 --> 0:17:39.360
<v Speaker 1>questioning him and Ultimately, you know, it made sense that

0:17:39.640 --> 0:17:42.760
<v Speaker 1>Daniel and Seth would have a confrontation at the end

0:17:43.280 --> 0:17:48.040
<v Speaker 1>and Mike Tyson would punch out Seawan Michaels didn't happen. Instead,

0:17:48.840 --> 0:17:52.280
<v Speaker 1>Matt Riddle got the big win, and man, those lights

0:17:52.320 --> 0:17:56.159
<v Speaker 1>went out immediately. This was this was old school t

0:17:56.440 --> 0:17:59.560
<v Speaker 1>n A to the back, and they did the return

0:17:59.800 --> 0:18:02.760
<v Speaker 1>of Bray White. We never saw Seth again, we never

0:18:02.800 --> 0:18:06.840
<v Speaker 1>saw Riddle again. So even though Riddle got his big win,

0:18:07.520 --> 0:18:09.200
<v Speaker 1>I mean, they didn't really make a big deal out

0:18:09.200 --> 0:18:11.280
<v Speaker 1>of it. And Seth rawlins. I'm sure it's gonna go

0:18:11.359 --> 0:18:13.280
<v Speaker 1>to raw tonight and I would expect he'll beat Bobby

0:18:13.359 --> 0:18:17.200
<v Speaker 1>Lashley for the the US title, and I think he

0:18:17.240 --> 0:18:18.879
<v Speaker 1>has the US title, right, is the U S or

0:18:18.880 --> 0:18:23.440
<v Speaker 1>Intercontinental US? Right? Yes? Yeah, because Old Gunter's the inter

0:18:23.480 --> 0:18:27.200
<v Speaker 1>Continental champions still. Who beat Shamus by the way, So yeah,

0:18:27.200 --> 0:18:30.159
<v Speaker 1>this was a This was a good match. I wouldn't

0:18:30.160 --> 0:18:31.760
<v Speaker 1>call it was a great match. I wouldn't say it

0:18:31.800 --> 0:18:33.280
<v Speaker 1>was a great match. So really what she had on

0:18:33.320 --> 0:18:37.399
<v Speaker 1>this show was good match, long match with a great finish.

0:18:37.760 --> 0:18:42.879
<v Speaker 1>Good match, good match, not so good match, awesome match.

0:18:43.600 --> 0:18:46.200
<v Speaker 1>And that's the story of Extreme A Store a tale

0:18:46.240 --> 0:18:49.280
<v Speaker 1>of extremes. Although we did not get the horrible match

0:18:49.560 --> 0:18:53.800
<v Speaker 1>on this show, it feels like the fingertips of Paul

0:18:53.840 --> 0:18:58.960
<v Speaker 1>Hayman kind of all into that storyline with dominic A

0:18:59.160 --> 0:19:03.120
<v Speaker 1>j and Ray and Edge and everybody being involved in there,

0:19:03.160 --> 0:19:06.040
<v Speaker 1>And what a better place than Philadelphia to actually have

0:19:06.160 --> 0:19:08.600
<v Speaker 1>that kind of drama. It actually worked out really well

0:19:08.640 --> 0:19:11.520
<v Speaker 1>there in that crowd was fantastic as well too, because

0:19:11.520 --> 0:19:14.200
<v Speaker 1>I know somebody pointed out, hey, you know, the sweetening

0:19:14.280 --> 0:19:17.160
<v Speaker 1>was loud. Maybe the sweetening was loud because the crowd

0:19:17.240 --> 0:19:19.439
<v Speaker 1>was actually loud and they really wanted to amplify it.

0:19:19.480 --> 0:19:21.800
<v Speaker 1>But I thought it was actually a really good night

0:19:21.840 --> 0:19:25.280
<v Speaker 1>for them, And as far as getting some interest going

0:19:25.359 --> 0:19:28.040
<v Speaker 1>leading into Raw, they did as good of a job

0:19:28.080 --> 0:19:30.840
<v Speaker 1>as they can, even though they're really at the mercy

0:19:30.920 --> 0:19:34.520
<v Speaker 1>of football tonight anyway. But for their fans, that's how

0:19:34.520 --> 0:19:37.040
<v Speaker 1>you gotta look at it. For their fans, they're at

0:19:37.080 --> 0:19:40.439
<v Speaker 1>least trying. Come on, bros, who cares about miss and

0:19:40.480 --> 0:19:45.760
<v Speaker 1>Gritty and Dexter anybody? He's a big deal, dude, Now,

0:19:45.760 --> 0:19:48.359
<v Speaker 1>come on, Pritty is a big deal. Pretty could be

0:19:48.400 --> 0:19:50.359
<v Speaker 1>the new San Diego Chicken if they wanted him to

0:19:50.400 --> 0:19:54.240
<v Speaker 1>get out of the wall. Watch. Hey, a lot of

0:19:54.280 --> 0:19:57.040
<v Speaker 1>people thought Pete Rose could be underneath that thing. He

0:19:57.240 --> 0:20:01.320
<v Speaker 1>needs the money all the time for good reason, seemingly

0:20:02.040 --> 0:20:05.160
<v Speaker 1>not a good guy. I hope this someday people say

0:20:05.200 --> 0:20:06.919
<v Speaker 1>something like that about me. Hey, he could be the

0:20:06.960 --> 0:20:09.440
<v Speaker 1>new Chicken. Not a good guy, not a good They'll

0:20:09.440 --> 0:20:12.120
<v Speaker 1>probably say he was a chicken and not a good guy.

0:20:12.560 --> 0:20:16.280
<v Speaker 1>Chicken Chest a great guy, whether you like it or not.

0:20:16.680 --> 0:20:22.000
<v Speaker 1>Are you Mr Benevolent? And x T Tonight we've got

0:20:22.160 --> 0:20:25.440
<v Speaker 1>friends call you a sociopath, which I gotta name one.

0:20:25.600 --> 0:20:29.280
<v Speaker 1>I gotta be Craig. Craig doesn't count. You are a

0:20:30.840 --> 0:20:33.960
<v Speaker 1>sociopath and psychopath. You are an incredible balance of that.

0:20:34.520 --> 0:20:36.280
<v Speaker 1>But you always pay on time. I gotta give you

0:20:36.320 --> 0:20:39.480
<v Speaker 1>that one for sure too. And x T Tomorrow night

0:20:39.520 --> 0:20:43.040
<v Speaker 1>has got braun Breaker against uh, what's his name, Big

0:20:43.040 --> 0:20:47.280
<v Speaker 1>Body Hobvey, Big Body Hobby. I've never I've never been

0:20:47.320 --> 0:20:51.000
<v Speaker 1>so excited for a match since Jamus versus Gunther. Then

0:20:51.040 --> 0:20:56.959
<v Speaker 1>we've got the Nathan Fraser Axiom third match of the series,

0:20:57.000 --> 0:20:59.800
<v Speaker 1>the final match of the series, and the winner goes

0:20:59.840 --> 0:21:02.680
<v Speaker 1>in to the ladder match, which is too bad. Maybe

0:21:02.720 --> 0:21:04.960
<v Speaker 1>they'll go to a drug. They'll both get in. Why

0:21:04.960 --> 0:21:06.880
<v Speaker 1>would you want one of them not in the ladder match?

0:21:07.720 --> 0:21:09.400
<v Speaker 1>Do you think I want to see that big what's

0:21:09.400 --> 0:21:13.040
<v Speaker 1>that big guy's name with the brow? Von Wagner? I

0:21:13.119 --> 0:21:14.680
<v Speaker 1>like the guy, But do you think I want Von

0:21:14.720 --> 0:21:17.360
<v Speaker 1>Wagner the ladder matches that of Axiom or Nathan Fraser.

0:21:17.520 --> 0:21:20.760
<v Speaker 1>I guess he can catch blokes, But do you think

0:21:20.920 --> 0:21:25.640
<v Speaker 1>Nathan Frasier is small enough where he could use the

0:21:25.680 --> 0:21:29.080
<v Speaker 1>brow of von Wagner as a base. That's a horrible

0:21:29.080 --> 0:21:31.080
<v Speaker 1>thing to say, and you called me a psychopath and

0:21:31.080 --> 0:21:33.200
<v Speaker 1>a horrible person. You make that comment about his physical

0:21:33.240 --> 0:21:36.360
<v Speaker 1>appearance terrible. I'm just what you call husks fat. While

0:21:36.359 --> 0:21:40.800
<v Speaker 1>you're at it, that fat pig. We have Stax Lorenzo

0:21:40.840 --> 0:21:45.439
<v Speaker 1>against Weslee and elbow Fire and J C. Jane are

0:21:45.440 --> 0:21:49.240
<v Speaker 1>gonna have a singles match. That's the next tea tomorrow.

0:21:50.119 --> 0:21:53.600
<v Speaker 1>You excited? I am. I'm really hoping lash Legend runs

0:21:53.600 --> 0:21:57.919
<v Speaker 1>in on that match. You's been held their declaration of

0:21:57.920 --> 0:22:01.480
<v Speaker 1>power event Monday morning, new championship being introduced and a

0:22:01.520 --> 0:22:05.200
<v Speaker 1>new member of a lows Dingo Nabber and go Ber Nablaise.

0:22:06.359 --> 0:22:09.000
<v Speaker 1>I say, I try to go slow for the slow listeners,

0:22:09.000 --> 0:22:12.639
<v Speaker 1>and it no good deed goes unpunished. See this is

0:22:12.640 --> 0:22:16.760
<v Speaker 1>when they say, well, why can't Luca get over soon?

0:22:16.840 --> 0:22:19.879
<v Speaker 1>If somebody comes over the next generation, they're done with it.

0:22:19.920 --> 0:22:21.960
<v Speaker 1>See this is a great example of it right here

0:22:21.960 --> 0:22:23.960
<v Speaker 1>with Brian Albert is here not being able to say

0:22:24.400 --> 0:22:27.440
<v Speaker 1>loss that was? That was a real good one right there.

0:22:27.600 --> 0:22:30.919
<v Speaker 1>I mean, is anybody expecting anything out of me and

0:22:30.960 --> 0:22:33.880
<v Speaker 1>my ad diction? Though, Claire, No one's expecting anything out

0:22:33.880 --> 0:22:36.600
<v Speaker 1>of your diction. You should know that by now. New

0:22:36.680 --> 0:22:41.119
<v Speaker 1>Japan formerly introduced the New Japan World at television championship.

0:22:41.200 --> 0:22:44.520
<v Speaker 1>Did you see this thing? Takami Obari noted this would

0:22:44.560 --> 0:22:47.800
<v Speaker 1>be a championship aimed for younger talent with an emphasis

0:22:47.880 --> 0:22:50.600
<v Speaker 1>on speed. It's a high speed title, yes it is.

0:22:50.920 --> 0:22:53.359
<v Speaker 1>Fifteen minute time limit will be held for each match.

0:22:54.040 --> 0:22:56.280
<v Speaker 1>Each title mench will be posted on New Japan social

0:22:56.320 --> 0:22:59.120
<v Speaker 1>media accounts. A tournament to crown the first champion will

0:22:59.119 --> 0:23:02.720
<v Speaker 1>take place into the future. There's no a zumis there.

0:23:03.680 --> 0:23:06.480
<v Speaker 1>You're telling me that they made a belt, They planned

0:23:06.480 --> 0:23:10.240
<v Speaker 1>an announcement, they did the announcement, they introduced the belt,

0:23:10.800 --> 0:23:12.320
<v Speaker 1>but they don't have a date for when the tournament's

0:23:12.320 --> 0:23:16.959
<v Speaker 1>gonna start. It's got an orange scraps. It looks like

0:23:17.000 --> 0:23:20.080
<v Speaker 1>a like a dinner tray. It looks like a plaque

0:23:20.119 --> 0:23:22.760
<v Speaker 1>you would receive. I got plenty of those. I'll have

0:23:22.840 --> 0:23:24.840
<v Speaker 1>to check it out. Did you see that thing? You

0:23:24.880 --> 0:23:26.960
<v Speaker 1>didn't see it yet, you gotta see it during the break.

0:23:26.960 --> 0:23:29.879
<v Speaker 1>I'm telling you, I couldn't see Philthy walking around with

0:23:29.920 --> 0:23:32.119
<v Speaker 1>this thing. I just I couldn't. Here's a question what

0:23:32.240 --> 0:23:37.920
<v Speaker 1>will be and what will be more anticipated the matches

0:23:38.040 --> 0:23:42.560
<v Speaker 1>for the new Japan World Television Championship, which will air

0:23:42.600 --> 0:23:47.159
<v Speaker 1>on the Internet and not television, or the next magic

0:23:47.240 --> 0:23:50.960
<v Speaker 1>trick that I post for my super followers at Brian Alvarez,

0:23:51.280 --> 0:23:54.440
<v Speaker 1>I vote the ladder. I agree back in a moment

0:23:54.480 --> 0:24:19.520
<v Speaker 1>with more Observer Live back in the show. Brian Elba

0:24:19.640 --> 0:24:22.359
<v Speaker 1>is here Wrestling Observer Live. Mike Supper b B also

0:24:22.440 --> 0:24:27.439
<v Speaker 1>Wrestling Observer dot Com. You know, during that break, I

0:24:27.480 --> 0:24:31.119
<v Speaker 1>went up on the Internet to take a look at

0:24:31.119 --> 0:24:36.320
<v Speaker 1>that new Japan World Television title. I know where you went.

0:24:36.400 --> 0:24:38.919
<v Speaker 1>You went to your front page and put up the

0:24:38.920 --> 0:24:41.159
<v Speaker 1>story that Brian Rose has got up there about the

0:24:41.280 --> 0:24:43.800
<v Speaker 1>declaration of power. Yeah, I see it around that's not

0:24:43.840 --> 0:24:45.800
<v Speaker 1>where I went. I googled it and it came up.

0:24:46.080 --> 0:24:48.880
<v Speaker 1>But you know my point, Mike, if you don't mind

0:24:48.920 --> 0:24:52.840
<v Speaker 1>if I continue my point here. My point Mike is

0:24:52.920 --> 0:24:55.280
<v Speaker 1>that I looked at that belt and I I heard

0:24:55.320 --> 0:24:58.040
<v Speaker 1>what you said about that belt and the strap color

0:24:58.040 --> 0:25:00.520
<v Speaker 1>and everything like that, and you know like this belt

0:25:01.920 --> 0:25:04.800
<v Speaker 1>that Look at this belt that looks like an ornate ring?

0:25:04.880 --> 0:25:07.560
<v Speaker 1>Are you kidding me? You don't like that? I don't

0:25:07.560 --> 0:25:10.040
<v Speaker 1>like that belt? Well, you know, here's not gonna do? Yeah,

0:25:10.119 --> 0:25:12.800
<v Speaker 1>what you got? Can we talk about this belt for

0:25:12.840 --> 0:25:15.600
<v Speaker 1>a minute? Well, hold on. What I'm gonna do is

0:25:15.640 --> 0:25:19.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to h they haven't had a good history

0:25:19.840 --> 0:25:24.240
<v Speaker 1>here recently with title belts men do I'm gonna send

0:25:24.280 --> 0:25:26.720
<v Speaker 1>us to Jared because I want this on screen, all right?

0:25:29.480 --> 0:25:34.600
<v Speaker 1>You know you could talk, Come on, Mr Entertainment. I

0:25:34.680 --> 0:25:36.680
<v Speaker 1>thought you could do two things at one time. There

0:25:37.160 --> 0:25:40.200
<v Speaker 1>Brian now typing this in with a message to Jared

0:25:40.240 --> 0:25:43.040
<v Speaker 1>to put this picture of this sorry looking belt up on.

0:25:43.200 --> 0:25:44.840
<v Speaker 1>You know what this belt kind of reminds me of

0:25:44.920 --> 0:25:47.480
<v Speaker 1>No no, no, no, no no no no no no no,

0:25:47.560 --> 0:25:50.840
<v Speaker 1>don't just wait. Here's the thing. I realized that those

0:25:50.840 --> 0:25:53.960
<v Speaker 1>of you that are that are listening. I can't see

0:25:53.960 --> 0:25:56.439
<v Speaker 1>the picture anything like that, but for those of you

0:25:56.440 --> 0:25:59.600
<v Speaker 1>that are watching on video, I want you to see

0:26:00.640 --> 0:26:05.840
<v Speaker 1>what this belt looks like before I explained the revelation

0:26:06.560 --> 0:26:09.280
<v Speaker 1>that I came to when I saw this belt. Oh yeah,

0:26:09.440 --> 0:26:11.800
<v Speaker 1>I move on here for a second. Oh yeah, I'm

0:26:11.800 --> 0:26:13.960
<v Speaker 1>gonna move on. Can we at least talk a little

0:26:13.960 --> 0:26:16.960
<v Speaker 1>bit about this belt after after the pictures up? Well,

0:26:17.000 --> 0:26:21.959
<v Speaker 1>we'll do that, okay, alright, Titan c MLL, I sent

0:26:22.040 --> 0:26:25.920
<v Speaker 1>you the picture. Jared's Fantastic Titan of CMLL joined Los

0:26:25.920 --> 0:26:32.040
<v Speaker 1>in Gobernables. They hop on on Monday's show, aiding the

0:26:32.040 --> 0:26:34.240
<v Speaker 1>group in a match against members of United Empire. He

0:26:34.280 --> 0:26:38.159
<v Speaker 1>revealed himself under a mask asked to join l I J.

0:26:39.960 --> 0:26:42.320
<v Speaker 1>The team discussed the matter and then held their fists

0:26:42.359 --> 0:26:45.080
<v Speaker 1>in the air. Titan joined them, officially becoming a member

0:26:45.680 --> 0:26:49.439
<v Speaker 1>of l I J. Master Watto Pin Taijishi more in

0:26:49.440 --> 0:26:53.840
<v Speaker 1>a non title match, replacing Kushita Boom. After the match,

0:26:54.080 --> 0:26:57.320
<v Speaker 1>both Aromo and Desperado came in to also make their

0:26:57.359 --> 0:26:59.320
<v Speaker 1>claim for the next shot. A four way was visually

0:26:59.359 --> 0:27:03.080
<v Speaker 1>agreed to setting up the next title match. Prior to

0:27:03.080 --> 0:27:07.760
<v Speaker 1>the start of Monday show, Eugene Nagata announced that Oleg Bolton,

0:27:08.960 --> 0:27:15.040
<v Speaker 1>an amateur wrestler from Kazakhstan. You know that that name

0:27:15.160 --> 0:27:18.120
<v Speaker 1>Oleg Bolton reminded me of another story, but that's that's

0:27:18.160 --> 0:27:21.760
<v Speaker 1>for another time. Is it about Michael Bolton? Or Bolton

0:27:21.840 --> 0:27:27.040
<v Speaker 1>competed in the two Freestyle Wrestling World Championships, finishing fifth.

0:27:27.080 --> 0:27:29.680
<v Speaker 1>So he's on his way and that feels like anochism

0:27:29.720 --> 0:27:31.800
<v Speaker 1>straight out of the late eighties. Remember when he got

0:27:31.800 --> 0:27:34.280
<v Speaker 1>the wrestler all the wrestlers from Russia in there. That's

0:27:34.280 --> 0:27:38.280
<v Speaker 1>what that feels like. And also, Guerrillas of Destiny member

0:27:38.400 --> 0:27:40.480
<v Speaker 1>Tanga Loa is going to be out for the rest

0:27:40.560 --> 0:27:42.240
<v Speaker 1>of the year. The thirty nine year old is not

0:27:42.280 --> 0:27:46.240
<v Speaker 1>wrestled since New Japan Capital Collision May fourteen. Did you

0:27:46.240 --> 0:27:48.879
<v Speaker 1>been announced? June one, Lowe had been pulled from the

0:27:48.920 --> 0:27:52.600
<v Speaker 1>Best of the Super Juniors finals after suffering a knee injury.

0:27:53.080 --> 0:27:55.479
<v Speaker 1>He provided an update on his brother this Toma Tonga

0:27:55.960 --> 0:27:59.120
<v Speaker 1>during an episode of Thomas Island released on Sunday. He's

0:27:59.160 --> 0:28:01.040
<v Speaker 1>been injured, he said, res m c l just had

0:28:01.080 --> 0:28:03.280
<v Speaker 1>surgery a couple of months ago. He'll be out the

0:28:03.280 --> 0:28:05.520
<v Speaker 1>rest of the year, but he's making progress. He isn't

0:28:05.560 --> 0:28:07.879
<v Speaker 1>able to run yet, but he's able to walk and

0:28:07.880 --> 0:28:09.439
<v Speaker 1>do some stuff, and just the running part is the

0:28:09.440 --> 0:28:12.280
<v Speaker 1>hardest part. Right now, he's doing well, he's moving forward,

0:28:12.320 --> 0:28:14.840
<v Speaker 1>looking forward to having him come back. I don't know

0:28:14.880 --> 0:28:17.919
<v Speaker 1>if it's right underneath me or not, but there it is.

0:28:18.800 --> 0:28:21.000
<v Speaker 1>What are you talking about the belt? Now? I'll tell

0:28:21.040 --> 0:28:23.160
<v Speaker 1>him when to put the belt up. I'm in charge here.

0:28:23.200 --> 0:28:25.280
<v Speaker 1>It's in It's in Q, folks, Yes it isn't Q.

0:28:25.440 --> 0:28:28.040
<v Speaker 1>All right, you ready, everybody, take a look at this

0:28:28.160 --> 0:28:32.000
<v Speaker 1>the new Japan World at Television Championship. Look at it.

0:28:32.080 --> 0:28:35.520
<v Speaker 1>Look at that belt. Look at it, y'all see that

0:28:35.600 --> 0:28:38.080
<v Speaker 1>on video video dot f W online dot com. Yeah,

0:28:38.080 --> 0:28:40.960
<v Speaker 1>put me up in the corner there, uh Jared, so

0:28:40.960 --> 0:28:43.320
<v Speaker 1>you can see me with that belt as I as

0:28:43.320 --> 0:28:46.240
<v Speaker 1>I talk about that belt, forget about it. Remember the

0:28:46.280 --> 0:28:49.880
<v Speaker 1>old Southwestern heavyweight title that the couch. Yeah that's good

0:28:49.960 --> 0:28:52.239
<v Speaker 1>enough right there? Leave it, yeah, leave it right there. Okay, now,

0:28:52.280 --> 0:28:58.040
<v Speaker 1>listen to everybody, you know, I do know. I have

0:28:58.200 --> 0:29:03.280
<v Speaker 1>a Twitter where you can super follow me, and I

0:29:03.360 --> 0:29:05.480
<v Speaker 1>got all sorts of stuff up there for super followers.

0:29:05.520 --> 0:29:10.600
<v Speaker 1>I I do magic. I post videos every now and

0:29:10.640 --> 0:29:14.719
<v Speaker 1>then I break news. Yeah, you know why? You know

0:29:14.720 --> 0:29:17.080
<v Speaker 1>why I have that ability to have super followers, Mike,

0:29:17.280 --> 0:29:19.840
<v Speaker 1>because I'm an influencer. That's what they call him nowadays.

0:29:19.840 --> 0:29:24.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm an influencer. And what's funny isn't my influence It

0:29:24.200 --> 0:29:31.960
<v Speaker 1>goes beyond social media. My influence dates back decades, decades

0:29:33.120 --> 0:29:38.160
<v Speaker 1>to in fact, a promotion known as the Youth Wrestling

0:29:38.200 --> 0:29:43.760
<v Speaker 1>Federation the y WF. Oh yes, do you know what

0:29:43.800 --> 0:29:47.160
<v Speaker 1>I have in my possession, Mike? What do you have, Brian? No,

0:29:47.280 --> 0:29:50.360
<v Speaker 1>it's not the tech Star Canada title. It is the

0:29:50.560 --> 0:30:00.480
<v Speaker 1>y w F Intercontinental Championship, multiple titles there which, ah,

0:30:08.840 --> 0:30:14.680
<v Speaker 1>they stole my design, you know what from ninety three.

0:30:15.360 --> 0:30:19.120
<v Speaker 1>That's why Filthy threw up. It wasn't because he was drunk.

0:30:19.160 --> 0:30:21.560
<v Speaker 1>It was because when you idiots were cleaning that up,

0:30:21.560 --> 0:30:24.480
<v Speaker 1>he was sneaking that belt out there so they can

0:30:24.520 --> 0:30:27.680
<v Speaker 1>get that remade in a two thousand twenty two form.

0:30:27.880 --> 0:30:32.120
<v Speaker 1>Good job, Filthy, look at that. I am aghast the

0:30:32.360 --> 0:30:35.280
<v Speaker 1>second I saw that. The second I saw that, I thought,

0:30:35.320 --> 0:30:38.080
<v Speaker 1>you gotta be kidding me. Now, I know. I filth

0:30:38.120 --> 0:30:39.720
<v Speaker 1>he was in the ring there with the Bullet Club

0:30:39.760 --> 0:30:42.200
<v Speaker 1>and j White as he was challenging Eddie Kingston there

0:30:42.200 --> 0:30:45.120
<v Speaker 1>for street, But now I know why. Look at that

0:30:50.640 --> 0:30:54.400
<v Speaker 1>the y W have heavyweight championship design that coming up

0:30:54.440 --> 0:30:56.600
<v Speaker 1>next needs to be said again. They are not on

0:30:56.640 --> 0:30:59.480
<v Speaker 1>a roll with creating these championship belts here, and frankly,

0:31:00.120 --> 0:31:02.080
<v Speaker 1>I don't know why they need this belt. I know

0:31:02.120 --> 0:31:04.000
<v Speaker 1>it's a gimmick. I don't know what's going on with

0:31:04.040 --> 0:31:06.960
<v Speaker 1>t V sahe either, because if it benefits them in

0:31:07.000 --> 0:31:11.760
<v Speaker 1>any way financially or benefits them with anything with TV, great.

0:31:12.520 --> 0:31:14.840
<v Speaker 1>They seem to not be losing anything in this. They're

0:31:14.880 --> 0:31:18.040
<v Speaker 1>putting up free matches for everybody. The title will always

0:31:18.080 --> 0:31:23.160
<v Speaker 1>be released for free on TV, on streaming, wherever it is,

0:31:23.240 --> 0:31:26.240
<v Speaker 1>so you know, okay, it's more free wrestling for people.

0:31:26.320 --> 0:31:29.360
<v Speaker 1>That's cool. Is the belt going to be held by

0:31:29.640 --> 0:31:31.880
<v Speaker 1>top stars? I guess we're gonna have to see that too,

0:31:31.920 --> 0:31:34.200
<v Speaker 1>because if it is going to be a battery of

0:31:34.760 --> 0:31:37.840
<v Speaker 1>no offense chase someone's title defenses, I don't know if

0:31:37.880 --> 0:31:40.040
<v Speaker 1>that's going to be the most exciting thing in the world.

0:31:40.320 --> 0:31:41.880
<v Speaker 1>But I guess we're gonna have to see how this

0:31:41.920 --> 0:31:44.560
<v Speaker 1>whole thing plays out, now, aren't we. I just wonder

0:31:44.600 --> 0:31:47.440
<v Speaker 1>how long it takes before this belt somehow makes its

0:31:47.480 --> 0:31:50.200
<v Speaker 1>way onto a W television, so we can just have

0:31:50.240 --> 0:31:54.800
<v Speaker 1>another belt. Nick Gauges once again g c W World

0:31:54.880 --> 0:31:57.760
<v Speaker 1>Champion after devining John Moxley Night one of g c

0:31:58.040 --> 0:32:02.880
<v Speaker 1>W Fight Club in a career versus title match. Match

0:32:02.880 --> 0:32:06.080
<v Speaker 1>featured the use of several light tubes, barbed wire, Gauge

0:32:06.080 --> 0:32:10.560
<v Speaker 1>repeatedly carving Mox's forehead with a pizza slicer, finished at

0:32:10.600 --> 0:32:15.360
<v Speaker 1>a W star Stokely Hathaway and w Morrissey getting involved

0:32:16.000 --> 0:32:19.840
<v Speaker 1>with Morrissey choke slamming Moxley through a barbed wire glass

0:32:19.920 --> 0:32:25.360
<v Speaker 1>window pane, Gauge went for a cover, Moxley kicked out.

0:32:26.040 --> 0:32:29.480
<v Speaker 1>Gauge then scored the win after hitting three pile drivers

0:32:30.200 --> 0:32:34.560
<v Speaker 1>and a choke breaker. After the match of Gauge praise

0:32:34.640 --> 0:32:37.080
<v Speaker 1>Moxley putting him over, he said he will keep going

0:32:37.120 --> 0:32:39.280
<v Speaker 1>and going and wouldn't have won the title without the fans,

0:32:39.720 --> 0:32:42.720
<v Speaker 1>saying that he goes through glass and barbed wire for them,

0:32:42.920 --> 0:32:45.480
<v Speaker 1>praise g c W and said any of the haters

0:32:45.480 --> 0:32:48.680
<v Speaker 1>can come find him. Gauge's third run with the gold

0:32:49.320 --> 0:32:53.080
<v Speaker 1>and his first since July of one, left out a

0:32:53.160 --> 0:32:56.160
<v Speaker 1>big chunk there where he called a w that old

0:32:56.520 --> 0:32:59.720
<v Speaker 1>P word company there, Well come on then put then

0:32:59.720 --> 0:33:03.400
<v Speaker 1>put Moxley over huge because in look, credit to Moxley,

0:33:03.520 --> 0:33:08.240
<v Speaker 1>and I don't blame Tony Khan for one second for

0:33:08.360 --> 0:33:11.440
<v Speaker 1>not wanting John Moxley involved your big one of your

0:33:11.480 --> 0:33:15.000
<v Speaker 1>biggest investments. You don't want him involved in anything else.

0:33:15.280 --> 0:33:18.120
<v Speaker 1>You were being really nice when the whole thing started.

0:33:18.160 --> 0:33:21.760
<v Speaker 1>Letting people work in other places with where you're at

0:33:21.800 --> 0:33:23.960
<v Speaker 1>now those things need to come to an end. And

0:33:24.000 --> 0:33:27.080
<v Speaker 1>obviously you have a willing member in John Moxley who

0:33:27.120 --> 0:33:29.880
<v Speaker 1>wants to do things in the wrestling business and for

0:33:29.960 --> 0:33:34.080
<v Speaker 1>your business where it makes sense. But John Moxley actually

0:33:34.120 --> 0:33:36.160
<v Speaker 1>maybe putting his foot down what it sounded like and

0:33:36.240 --> 0:33:38.560
<v Speaker 1>saying no, I really do need to do this and

0:33:38.560 --> 0:33:41.880
<v Speaker 1>finish this storyline and do this for wrestling and four

0:33:41.960 --> 0:33:45.240
<v Speaker 1>wrestling fans. Hopefully he didn't get too much pushback from

0:33:45.240 --> 0:33:48.320
<v Speaker 1>Tony kN about that, because yes, anything can go wrong

0:33:48.400 --> 0:33:50.840
<v Speaker 1>in the wrestling ring, but as we discussed on Friday,

0:33:51.280 --> 0:33:53.520
<v Speaker 1>there was going to be nothing lost in this. And

0:33:53.560 --> 0:33:56.959
<v Speaker 1>in fact, you actually have now another little you know

0:33:57.080 --> 0:34:00.440
<v Speaker 1>writer because you had w Morrissey be the one that

0:34:00.560 --> 0:34:03.880
<v Speaker 1>came out there and hit Moxley. And that's the second time,

0:34:03.920 --> 0:34:07.560
<v Speaker 1>by the way, the second time m JF has utilized

0:34:07.640 --> 0:34:10.560
<v Speaker 1>Nick Gauge in such a way where it has screwed

0:34:10.560 --> 0:34:14.279
<v Speaker 1>over John Moxley. Does that matter in the storyline? Maybe not,

0:34:14.400 --> 0:34:17.680
<v Speaker 1>but you know what you have, but if you want it, well,

0:34:18.280 --> 0:34:20.799
<v Speaker 1>I don't know all the details, but I don't think

0:34:20.840 --> 0:34:24.279
<v Speaker 1>there was ever a point where Tony kN told him

0:34:24.320 --> 0:34:27.160
<v Speaker 1>he could not drop this title. I'm sure Tony khn

0:34:27.200 --> 0:34:30.279
<v Speaker 1>didn't want to go in there and lose clean. I'm

0:34:30.280 --> 0:34:34.239
<v Speaker 1>sure that's why W Morris cy and and uh wasn't

0:34:34.239 --> 0:34:36.640
<v Speaker 1>a big fan of the pane of glass or totally

0:34:36.719 --> 0:34:38.759
<v Speaker 1>where I don't think Tony cares. Are you kidding? Meet

0:34:38.760 --> 0:34:41.920
<v Speaker 1>Tony Khan, guy grew up on on ec double. You know,

0:34:42.080 --> 0:34:44.279
<v Speaker 1>he was probably like, hey, listen, if you're gonna lose,

0:34:44.320 --> 0:34:46.279
<v Speaker 1>I need to go through three panes of glass and

0:34:46.440 --> 0:34:50.840
<v Speaker 1>tax But here's the thing, And here's the thing. I

0:34:50.840 --> 0:34:52.640
<v Speaker 1>don't think John Monx is gonna be doing a lot

0:34:52.640 --> 0:34:55.320
<v Speaker 1>of indie dates, but I don't think it has anything

0:34:55.320 --> 0:34:58.400
<v Speaker 1>to do with with Tony Khan because one of the

0:34:58.520 --> 0:35:05.560
<v Speaker 1>things here he won this title September four one. Okay,

0:35:05.800 --> 0:35:08.839
<v Speaker 1>and you know this was this was before he had

0:35:08.880 --> 0:35:13.520
<v Speaker 1>gone into rehab, and it was shortly after his his

0:35:13.719 --> 0:35:16.879
<v Speaker 1>daughter was born. And let me tell you something, his dad,

0:35:17.200 --> 0:35:22.560
<v Speaker 1>things change quick. And I think that as a father,

0:35:23.280 --> 0:35:26.960
<v Speaker 1>and listen, she was he was born in in the summer,

0:35:27.000 --> 0:35:31.800
<v Speaker 1>I think of of one, so like, she's probably walking,

0:35:32.400 --> 0:35:36.080
<v Speaker 1>she may be starting to talk, you know, not no

0:35:36.120 --> 0:35:38.799
<v Speaker 1>longer just laying there doing nothing, which they do for

0:35:38.840 --> 0:35:42.040
<v Speaker 1>a long time. So as a father, I think that

0:35:42.080 --> 0:35:44.640
<v Speaker 1>he's probably like, man, what a life I got. I

0:35:44.640 --> 0:35:47.480
<v Speaker 1>gotta go to work on Wednesday, and then I don't

0:35:47.480 --> 0:35:49.680
<v Speaker 1>got anything else. If I don't want to, I can.

0:35:49.800 --> 0:35:52.640
<v Speaker 1>I can hang out, play with my kid, my wife

0:35:53.320 --> 0:35:56.200
<v Speaker 1>and make a ton of money. And so, you know,

0:35:56.239 --> 0:35:57.840
<v Speaker 1>I think that every now and then there's gonna be

0:35:57.840 --> 0:36:00.239
<v Speaker 1>something he really wants to do. There's an opportunity he's

0:36:00.239 --> 0:36:02.200
<v Speaker 1>gonna take it. I'm sure he'd go for the g one.

0:36:02.880 --> 0:36:06.440
<v Speaker 1>But I'm pretty sure this is all John Moxley's decision.

0:36:06.920 --> 0:36:10.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure he wanted to put over Nick Gage for

0:36:10.239 --> 0:36:14.279
<v Speaker 1>this title. There in the end, and he has resigned.

0:36:14.360 --> 0:36:16.480
<v Speaker 1>They sent out a press release a couple of days ago.

0:36:16.800 --> 0:36:20.719
<v Speaker 1>He'd actually resigned. What is October ten? He resigned about

0:36:20.760 --> 0:36:23.600
<v Speaker 1>a month ago. This was not something he had been

0:36:23.640 --> 0:36:27.200
<v Speaker 1>working for a little while without a contract, But it

0:36:27.280 --> 0:36:29.759
<v Speaker 1>wasn't like he'd been working for you know, six months

0:36:29.840 --> 0:36:32.120
<v Speaker 1>or anything like that. He he signed a while ago.

0:36:32.160 --> 0:36:34.080
<v Speaker 1>They decided they were gonna put the press release out

0:36:34.760 --> 0:36:38.319
<v Speaker 1>a few days ago for whatever reason. And uh, and

0:36:45.320 --> 0:36:49.160
<v Speaker 1>helping people put matches together. So he's just going to

0:36:49.520 --> 0:36:53.279

0:37:13.760 --> 0:37:17.319

<v Speaker 1>storming thing, he did the a W thing, he did

0:37:20.480 --> 0:37:22.520
<v Speaker 1>the go get a clean thing. Now he's doing the

0:37:22.520 --> 0:37:26.440

<v Speaker 1>it hasn't been easy. Pretty near says a W kind

0:37:40.560 --> 0:37:43.800
<v Speaker 1>of spoiled the title match with that press release. Hey listen,

0:37:43.840 --> 0:37:46.680
<v Speaker 1>maybe they did, but you know what if your options

0:37:46.719 --> 0:37:48.960
<v Speaker 1>are we either ain't doing the match because I know

0:37:49.000 --> 0:37:52.120
<v Speaker 1>what my champion losing, or we're gonna send a press

0:37:52.160 --> 0:37:54.560
<v Speaker 1>release out a day before saying that he's finishing up

0:37:54.560 --> 0:37:57.280
<v Speaker 1>all his obligations and you can do the match and lose.

0:37:57.640 --> 0:38:05.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm taking that. So anyway, Moments over life the right.

0:38:05.880 --> 0:38:14.720
<v Speaker 1>But back in the show, Bright Albert is here Wrestling

0:38:14.719 --> 0:38:17.920
<v Speaker 1>Observer Live. Mike simperviv also Wrestling Observer dot Com. You

0:38:17.920 --> 0:38:20.000
<v Speaker 1>know what I want to do that match with filthy

0:38:21.560 --> 0:38:24.960
<v Speaker 1>old Nick Gage was there, the guy that nearly killed

0:38:25.000 --> 0:38:29.279
<v Speaker 1>me and not to kill his a gimmick, but he's

0:38:29.280 --> 0:38:34.359
<v Speaker 1>the sweetest guy. Man. That guy's beat up and that's

0:38:34.400 --> 0:38:37.520
<v Speaker 1>one of the reasons that the g c W signed

0:38:37.600 --> 0:38:39.959
<v Speaker 1>him to a contract, the only contract they ever signed

0:38:40.000 --> 0:38:43.319
<v Speaker 1>anybody too, and it was you know, we wanna we

0:38:43.360 --> 0:38:46.759
<v Speaker 1>want to give this guy a contract so this can

0:38:46.800 --> 0:38:50.360
<v Speaker 1>be what he does, and he can take care of

0:38:50.440 --> 0:38:54.200
<v Speaker 1>himself and work matches here and there and not just

0:38:54.320 --> 0:38:58.160
<v Speaker 1>be out, you know, killing himself and and doing whatever else,

0:38:58.360 --> 0:39:01.279
<v Speaker 1>you know, different shows and everything like that. So you know,

0:39:01.880 --> 0:39:03.840
<v Speaker 1>I mean, but you know, there are a lot of

0:39:03.840 --> 0:39:07.200
<v Speaker 1>people that believed he might actually retire, and he didn't.

0:39:07.880 --> 0:39:10.200
<v Speaker 1>He's going to continue on. But if you saw him

0:39:10.239 --> 0:39:14.840
<v Speaker 1>and portions during that match, I mean, Moxley was working

0:39:14.840 --> 0:39:18.120
<v Speaker 1>with himself. I mean, e Gauge was he can move

0:39:18.200 --> 0:39:23.400
<v Speaker 1>slow and Leo Rush on yesterday actually won a scramble

0:39:23.520 --> 0:39:27.520
<v Speaker 1>that Gauge. Gauge called out anybody from the locker rooms

0:39:27.560 --> 0:39:29.720
<v Speaker 1>that step up who wants the next shot. A bunch

0:39:29.719 --> 0:39:32.600
<v Speaker 1>of people poured out. They had a scramble match. What

0:39:32.760 --> 0:39:35.759
<v Speaker 1>looks like Leo Rush is going to be somebody who

0:39:35.840 --> 0:39:38.840
<v Speaker 1>gets the title shot against Nick Gauge, and that is

0:39:38.880 --> 0:39:43.240
<v Speaker 1>an interesting contrast in styles there. It's certainly a clash.

0:39:43.400 --> 0:39:46.080
<v Speaker 1>So we'll see if anybody gets added to that match.

0:39:46.120 --> 0:39:49.439
<v Speaker 1>But Neck Gauge is your g c W champion. Nick

0:39:49.640 --> 0:39:55.040
<v Speaker 1>Gauge versus Leo Rush Nick f Engauge against Leo Rush, Yes,

0:39:55.280 --> 0:39:59.200
