Wrestling Observer Live. 0:02:47.240 --> 0:02:51.279 Back in the show, bright Over is here. Wrestling Observer Alive. 0:02:51.960 --> 0:02:56.480 Mike simper Viv, also of Wrestling Observer dot com. You 0:02:56.480 --> 0:02:59.799 guys all know what the term ribbing on the square means. 0:03:00.800 --> 0:03:06.040 I do. Let's say that Mike has got a let's 0:03:06.080 --> 0:03:10.919 pretend he's got a cone head, all right, So we're 0:03:10.960 --> 0:03:14.160 doing this sing or whatever, and we're arguing back and forth, 0:03:14.200 --> 0:03:17.040 and I talked about how bro, your hat can barely 0:03:17.040 --> 0:03:21.040 balance on that cone head. O. I'm just joking, but 0:03:21.120 --> 0:03:24.560 I'm not. I don't like his cone head. That's what 0:03:24.720 --> 0:03:26.320 ribbing on the square means. Is that good? It was 0:03:26.360 --> 0:03:29.760 a horrible analogy, horrible. I didn't want to actually say 0:03:29.760 --> 0:03:31.239 what you're horrible at might so I try to be 0:03:31.280 --> 0:03:33.720 a nice guy, go ahead and do it. So anyway, 0:03:34.200 --> 0:03:37.080 then I bring this up because during an appearance on 0:03:37.160 --> 0:03:41.920 The Sports Illustrated media podcast, Becky Lynch addressed her real 0:03:42.000 --> 0:03:45.800 life issues with Charlotte Flair and built up their Matched 0:03:45.880 --> 0:03:52.240 Survivor series. Speaking on the podcast, Lynch was asked about 0:03:52.320 --> 0:03:55.480 the confrontation with Charlotte. She says, I don't know, man, 0:03:55.520 --> 0:03:58.640 We don't talk anymore. We don't talk. All I'll say 0:03:58.720 --> 0:04:01.760 is the locker room needs to hear sometimes, and sometimes 0:04:01.800 --> 0:04:04.360 somebody has got to be a hero. I'm all right 0:04:04.480 --> 0:04:07.040 being that hero. That's all I'll say on the matter 0:04:07.520 --> 0:04:09.560 of course. Then she said more. They asked if it 0:04:09.600 --> 0:04:12.119 was more difficult to face somebody who you are having 0:04:12.160 --> 0:04:13.960 issues with in real life, and she says, oh, yeah, 0:04:13.960 --> 0:04:16.880 a hundred percent more difficult. Yeah. That's the thing. When 0:04:16.920 --> 0:04:19.920 you've got two people that are wanting to work together 0:04:19.960 --> 0:04:22.680 to make a magic, you make magic. Sometimes when there's 0:04:22.720 --> 0:04:26.040 hostility where you can't trust the person, then you never 0:04:26.080 --> 0:04:27.760 know what's going to happen. You always have to be 0:04:27.800 --> 0:04:29.919 on guard. It's like a game of chess. You have 0:04:30.000 --> 0:04:32.760 to be thinking two steps, three steps, four steps ahead. 0:04:33.000 --> 0:04:34.400 What are they gonna do? How am I going to 0:04:34.480 --> 0:04:36.679 handle it? If they do this, if they do that. Whatever. 0:04:37.160 --> 0:04:40.880 This business is built on trust, it's built on working together. 0:04:40.920 --> 0:04:42.840 That's the art of it. That's the beauty of it. 0:04:43.120 --> 0:04:45.840 If I make you look good, you make me look good. 0:04:45.880 --> 0:04:47.760 It's an art. It's a beautiful art. It's an art 0:04:47.800 --> 0:04:49.880 I love more than anything. If people don't know how 0:04:49.880 --> 0:04:52.159 to make that art, it becomes difficult, it becomes tricky, 0:04:52.160 --> 0:04:54.520 and you never really get the full potential. But there's 0:04:54.640 --> 0:04:58.039 intrigue there too, because we never know was this meant 0:04:58.040 --> 0:05:00.680 to happen, was that not meant to happened? What's going 0:05:00.720 --> 0:05:04.599 to go down? There's interest in both ways. One way 0:05:04.640 --> 0:05:06.840 it's a beautiful period of pro wrestling, and the other 0:05:06.880 --> 0:05:11.400 way it's a bit of a s show. So we'll 0:05:11.400 --> 0:05:15.680 see what happens. Remember when they had that deal with 0:05:15.720 --> 0:05:18.080 the belt where they were told to swap these belts. 0:05:18.120 --> 0:05:20.480 It was stupid and everyone knew was stupid. And then 0:05:20.640 --> 0:05:22.960 they go out on television and they had a Kurf 0:05:22.960 --> 0:05:26.120 fluffle and ended up really upset. And then they went 0:05:26.160 --> 0:05:28.839 to the back and they they had a screaming match 0:05:28.880 --> 0:05:32.880 at Guerrilla and etcetera, etcetera. You guys remember that story, 0:05:33.000 --> 0:05:37.160 and what did I What did I tell you afterwards? 0:05:37.960 --> 0:05:41.800 I said, what they're gonna do is they're going to 0:05:41.880 --> 0:05:45.200 try to turn this into a storyline, and they're going 0:05:45.240 --> 0:05:47.919 to try to convince you that all of this was 0:05:48.000 --> 0:05:51.520 planned from the beginning. Now we've got this interview where 0:05:51.560 --> 0:05:55.159 she's not ribbing on the square, but there's a there 0:05:55.240 --> 0:05:58.919 is a there is a stark reality to some of this. Okay, 0:05:58.960 --> 0:06:02.000 there is a reality to the fact that there's a 0:06:02.040 --> 0:06:04.479 lot of issues between these two people, and we saw 0:06:04.520 --> 0:06:09.320 them play out on television. But it is abundantly clear 0:06:10.160 --> 0:06:14.440 that they are using this now to build up Survivor Series. 0:06:14.640 --> 0:06:17.159 And I'm not saying that this is what's going to happen, Okay, 0:06:17.200 --> 0:06:22.159 But I read this interview and I hearkened back to 0:06:22.320 --> 0:06:25.600 Raw on Monday and they had that video package for 0:06:25.600 --> 0:06:28.200 Survivor Series and what was it? What was the Survivor 0:06:28.320 --> 0:06:32.800 Series video package on Sunday focused on on Monday? Why 0:06:32.839 --> 0:06:39.039 it was focused on Sean Michael's and Brett Hart from 0:06:39.080 --> 0:06:41.880 and what did they say? You never know? I forget 0:06:41.920 --> 0:06:43.520 the exact line, but it was like, you never know 0:06:43.560 --> 0:06:47.159 what's gonna happen at Survivor Series. Something's always gonna happen. 0:06:47.880 --> 0:06:51.680 I thought, my god, it's and I don't know what 0:06:51.760 --> 0:06:56.320 it's gonna be. But like this is Brett Harden Shawn Michaels, 0:06:57.040 --> 0:07:00.320 where Breton Seawan also got into a much more lint 0:07:00.360 --> 0:07:03.400 backstage fight. I might add, they got a brawl and 0:07:03.960 --> 0:07:06.880 Brett yanked out his hair and Sean said he was 0:07:07.000 --> 0:07:09.560 quitting and going to World Championship Wrestling, and he walked 0:07:09.560 --> 0:07:12.760 out and he claimed an unsafe working environment, and lo 0:07:12.920 --> 0:07:16.600 and behold, they ended up back together. And even though 0:07:16.840 --> 0:07:21.440 they they hated each other, they were professionals and they 0:07:21.480 --> 0:07:23.360 were all planning to go in there and having a 0:07:23.400 --> 0:07:26.080 matches Survivor Series, which they did, by the way, and 0:07:26.120 --> 0:07:28.920 it was a good match. And then we had the 0:07:29.000 --> 0:07:31.600 famous Montreal screw job. And I don't need to go 0:07:31.600 --> 0:07:36.160 into all of that, but something's happening, I believe at 0:07:36.200 --> 0:07:40.080 the Survivor Series in this Becky Lynch Charlotte Flair match, 0:07:40.680 --> 0:07:42.800 where I think that they're going to try to convince 0:07:42.840 --> 0:07:47.200 you that they're shooting or something or some screw job 0:07:47.360 --> 0:07:50.960 or some this or some that I mean, it's coming 0:07:51.320 --> 0:07:54.640 and this to me, this to me, was was building 0:07:54.680 --> 0:07:58.120 it up. Have you ever been in a position, Brian, 0:07:58.200 --> 0:08:00.760 to try to make magic with somebody that you're working 0:08:00.800 --> 0:08:03.600 with and you have trouble with that. You know what 0:08:03.680 --> 0:08:14.320 that's like anyway, cars, I know that's like, Mike, look, 0:08:14.440 --> 0:08:16.480 what do you expect? What do you want out of them? 0:08:16.520 --> 0:08:19.000 They might as well do them. They're doing exactly what 0:08:19.040 --> 0:08:22.720 I expected they would do exactly they probably should up 0:08:22.800 --> 0:08:27.800 until we get to the Survivor series teases. That's where 0:08:27.800 --> 0:08:30.000 I can draw the line. Of course they're going to 0:08:30.120 --> 0:08:32.319 market this based on these two and what happened, you 0:08:32.400 --> 0:08:35.480 might as well. It was a real life thing that happened. 0:08:35.520 --> 0:08:38.600 People know. It's actually something that you know, it is 0:08:38.600 --> 0:08:41.240 based in reality that people can wrap their brains around 0:08:41.320 --> 0:08:43.680 and sink their teeth into. So I don't blame it 0:08:43.760 --> 0:08:47.839 all for for doing this um to make teases to 0:08:49.880 --> 0:08:53.960 I wouldn't because it's you know, look, this is twenty 0:08:54.040 --> 0:08:56.680 five years ago, you know. And on top of that, 0:08:57.240 --> 0:09:00.000 it wasn't It wasn't a memorable It's not a good 0:09:00.120 --> 0:09:02.480 thing to remember the Survivor series. And I'm sure it 0:09:02.559 --> 0:09:04.480 is for them, and I know it's taken on a 0:09:04.520 --> 0:09:08.160 life of its own in multiple ways, but no, thanks, 0:09:08.360 --> 0:09:10.640 I don't want to watch to see maybe somebody gets 0:09:10.679 --> 0:09:13.559 screwed over, or wait for the rug to be pulled 0:09:13.559 --> 0:09:15.520 out at the end of a match or something like that. 0:09:15.559 --> 0:09:18.120 I just want to see those two have a great 0:09:18.160 --> 0:09:20.839 match with each other. And I hope that's not the 0:09:20.880 --> 0:09:24.240 direction that they go. Maybe that's what they do, maybe 0:09:24.240 --> 0:09:27.880 they can't help themselves, but I I don't see how 0:09:27.920 --> 0:09:31.440 almost any scenario doesn't end with fans eye rolling or 0:09:32.280 --> 0:09:35.040 you know whatever. We'll see. But I don't think that's 0:09:35.040 --> 0:09:37.040 what fans want out of that. It's not what fans 0:09:37.120 --> 0:09:39.280 want out of Bianca being involved in the match, not 0:09:39.320 --> 0:09:41.839 what fans want out of a lot of people being 0:09:41.840 --> 0:09:45.120 involved in matches. Just give me the really good match 0:09:45.240 --> 0:09:47.200 and you know, I guess you can tease some of 0:09:47.200 --> 0:09:49.640 this stuff, but if it happens, you know, if that's 0:09:49.640 --> 0:09:53.000 the execution, I don't know, maybe it ought to be executed. 0:09:55.440 --> 0:09:59.120 We have got an x T ratings six D three 0:09:59.200 --> 0:10:01.960 thousand a view is down four point four percent, lowest 0:10:01.960 --> 0:10:04.840 audience for the show since being rebranded eighteen and forty 0:10:04.920 --> 0:10:08.120 nine point one five. It's basically the same numbers of 0:10:08.240 --> 0:10:10.280 you every week. Do I need to talk about it more? Now? 0:10:11.280 --> 0:10:13.320 We got full gear coming up this weekend. We'll talk 0:10:13.360 --> 0:10:16.199 about a w after the break and an x T 0:10:16.200 --> 0:10:19.679 two point oh as well. We have Kenny Omega Hangman 0:10:19.760 --> 0:10:23.079 Page for the A E W title as your main event, 0:10:23.600 --> 0:10:26.640 Ritt Baker versus Tight Countie for the women's title, Luca 0:10:26.720 --> 0:10:30.559 Brothers versus f t R for the tag titles, Mirror 0:10:30.720 --> 0:10:34.920 versus Brian Danielson in the Eliminator tournament, m J versus 0:10:34.960 --> 0:10:38.120 Darby Ell and CM Punk versus Eddie Kingston, Adam Cole 0:10:38.200 --> 0:10:41.840 and the Young Bucks versus Jurassic Express and Christian Cage, 0:10:42.320 --> 0:10:45.800 Inner Circle versus the American Top Team, Cody and Pok 0:10:45.960 --> 0:10:49.120 versus Andrade and Malachi Black, and the pre show has 0:10:49.200 --> 0:10:51.640 Nilo Rose and Jamie Hayda versus Carter Sheen and Thunder Rosa. 0:10:51.760 --> 0:10:53.400 Somebody asked yesterday it was gonna be the best match 0:10:53.480 --> 0:10:56.640 on the show, and uh, I think that, Like as 0:10:56.640 --> 0:11:00.280 far as like what's gonna get the most stars, I 0:11:00.280 --> 0:11:03.440 think it's gonna be Kenny Omega verus Hangman Page, or 0:11:03.520 --> 0:11:06.520 Adam Cole and the Young Bucks versus Jurassic Express in 0:11:06.600 --> 0:11:10.200 Christian Cage. I'm sure that Miro and Brian Danielson is 0:11:10.200 --> 0:11:13.600 gonna be awesome. I'm sure that Inner Circle and American 0:11:13.679 --> 0:11:16.200 Top Team. Everyone's gonna be talking about that the next 0:11:16.280 --> 0:11:21.080 day because he's m M A fighters. Holy smokes, It's 0:11:21.120 --> 0:11:26.120 like there's so much heat and it's such an easy storyline, 0:11:27.120 --> 0:11:30.559 but there's a lot of people that can't work in 0:11:30.600 --> 0:11:33.160 this match, and so we're gonna find out how well 0:11:33.240 --> 0:11:36.400 everybody else can work. And thankfully it's a street fight 0:11:36.800 --> 0:11:38.800 so you can like brawl all over the place and 0:11:38.800 --> 0:11:42.440 everything like that. But man Jericho was getting hammered on 0:11:42.480 --> 0:11:44.959 by somebody last night. I forget the guy's name as always, 0:11:45.000 --> 0:11:50.040 but as Austin vander Ford is at the other bloke anyway, 0:11:50.559 --> 0:11:53.760 he's throwing these these forearms and it's like, you don't 0:11:53.840 --> 0:11:57.200 want him to kill Chris Jericho, but like he's trained 0:11:57.240 --> 0:12:00.480 to kill Chris Jericho, not Chris Jericho personally, but you're 0:12:00.480 --> 0:12:04.160 asking a guy who's who's like his his goal in 0:12:04.320 --> 0:12:07.800 training is to like break the dummy when you're laying 0:12:07.800 --> 0:12:09.800 in those four arms. Now he's got to go lay 0:12:09.800 --> 0:12:12.079 in the forums with Jericho, not killed a guy. So 0:12:12.160 --> 0:12:15.760 he goes the extreme other way and there's just air everywhere, 0:12:16.080 --> 0:12:18.000 and it wasn't bad. Like at the end of the day, 0:12:18.040 --> 0:12:21.000 it doesn't matter if you're missing this here. They're the fans. 0:12:21.080 --> 0:12:23.120 They want to see the match in the story. They 0:12:23.160 --> 0:12:25.520 know they're not getting like a five star match. They 0:12:25.559 --> 0:12:28.480 just want to see, you know, these blokes get their's 0:12:28.960 --> 0:12:32.040 and I'm sure they're gonna get it. One bloke in particular, 0:12:32.679 --> 0:12:45.040 Dan Lambert back in a moment as it were live, well, 0:12:45.120 --> 0:12:48.560 we had to go home show for a w and 0:12:48.840 --> 0:12:52.360 if you're a fan of Rassling boy, if I got 0:12:52.400 --> 0:12:54.640 the show for you. There was so much good wrestling 0:12:54.640 --> 0:12:59.480 on the show. Brian Danielson beat Rocky Romero excellent pro 0:12:59.520 --> 0:13:03.920 wrestling match, used the Tequila Sunrise finish, great back in 0:13:04.040 --> 0:13:09.200 force with submission attempts, armbars, etcetera excellent match. We add 0:13:09.240 --> 0:13:12.640 a brawl with the Inner Circle and American Top Team 0:13:12.720 --> 0:13:16.560 where the Heels laid him out and uh. The Heels 0:13:16.600 --> 0:13:19.800 avowed that Chris Jericho will be pinned in the pay 0:13:19.840 --> 0:13:23.000 per view by Dan Lambert and tonight they said he's 0:13:23.000 --> 0:13:26.000 gonna submit him and so Lambert puts him in what 0:13:26.040 --> 0:13:29.920 he describes as a Boston crab from pro wrestling from 0:13:29.920 --> 0:13:34.480 Florida in nineteen and the Heels took Jericho's arm and 0:13:34.520 --> 0:13:36.800 made him tap. Jericho did not tap to this Boston Crab. 0:13:36.880 --> 0:13:40.160 I might add they made him tap, but it was 0:13:40.200 --> 0:13:42.880 a great, great heat angle for the show. Tai Conti, 0:13:42.960 --> 0:13:46.319 Thunder Roseanna j B, Britt Baker, Jimmie Hayter and Rebel. 0:13:47.400 --> 0:13:50.480 Too much Rebel in this match, especially when you had 0:13:50.679 --> 0:13:53.400 Jamie Hayter on the team. It was. It was not 0:13:53.480 --> 0:13:55.920 as bad get ready for people to get mad. It 0:13:56.000 --> 0:13:58.480 was not as bad as the opener on n x T. 0:13:59.520 --> 0:14:02.120 But it was not good, but they kept it quick. 0:14:02.679 --> 0:14:07.000 Jungle Boy beat Anthony Bowen's very very good match. Anthony 0:14:07.040 --> 0:14:11.200 Bones is great, Jungle Boy is great, Snare trap finish, 0:14:11.280 --> 0:14:14.400 and then Bobby Fish ran out. Bobby Fish has now 0:14:14.440 --> 0:14:18.599 been sent out by Adam Cole of all people to 0:14:18.960 --> 0:14:22.200 take out Jungle Boy. They will be wrestling on Rampage 0:14:22.240 --> 0:14:27.920 on Friday. We had Wardlow squashing Wheeler Utah. Hey, listen, 0:14:28.000 --> 0:14:30.040 if you love squashes, it's hard to screw them up 0:14:31.080 --> 0:14:35.440 unless you're on n x T two point Oh they 0:14:35.560 --> 0:14:38.040 screwed up a squash match on that show, but anyway, 0:14:38.240 --> 0:14:40.840 it was a squash match. And then the Hardy Family 0:14:40.920 --> 0:14:45.400 office beat up Orange Cassidy. So it is uh, it 0:14:45.480 --> 0:14:48.160 is Matt Hardy versus Orange Cassidy. Friday in a lumberjack 0:14:48.240 --> 0:14:50.240 match and met originally scheduled for the pay per view. 0:14:50.520 --> 0:14:53.640 Now it's going to be on Rampage. Leo Russian, Dante 0:14:53.680 --> 0:14:56.320 Martin beat Matt side All and Lee mori Ardi. This 0:14:56.520 --> 0:15:00.160 was a very very good match. You had Dante and 0:15:00.240 --> 0:15:02.160 Lee Moriarty is the young guys just doing all this 0:15:02.240 --> 0:15:06.360 crazy high flying which looked awesome but not exactly polished. 0:15:06.680 --> 0:15:09.240 And then Leo Rush and Matt Sideal are polished. They 0:15:09.280 --> 0:15:11.880 got in there. Man, this was some good stuff here 0:15:12.360 --> 0:15:17.720 and Dante hit the double springboard moonsalt pin Moriarty very 0:15:17.720 --> 0:15:20.800 good match, Poking Decks Harwood probably had the best match 0:15:20.840 --> 0:15:25.600 on the show. They had everything in this match. They had. 0:15:26.000 --> 0:15:29.920 They had violence, physical violence. Dax's chest is bleeding everywhere. 0:15:30.240 --> 0:15:33.240 Pack him with a top rope high angle brainbuster, which 0:15:33.800 --> 0:15:34.880 I don't know if I want to see that mat 0:15:35.000 --> 0:15:37.560 that movement in every POC match because someone's gonna get killed. 0:15:38.040 --> 0:15:39.920 And finally at the end, POC put him in the 0:15:39.920 --> 0:15:43.440 brutalizer and the moment he puts him in this hold, 0:15:43.720 --> 0:15:46.320 Dax furiously submiss because you don't want to get hurt. 0:15:46.720 --> 0:15:50.040 Prior to the match on Saturday night and then the 0:15:50.160 --> 0:15:52.920 lights went out, Cash Wheeler, Malachi Black and Rode All 0:15:53.000 --> 0:15:56.000 beat down Poc Cody and the Luca Brothers made the save, 0:15:56.520 --> 0:15:59.280 so we have a match for the pay per view. 0:15:59.840 --> 0:16:02.200 And then the main event was the Kenny Omega Hangman 0:16:02.240 --> 0:16:06.120 Page contract signing. People a couple of blokes on Twitter 0:16:06.240 --> 0:16:10.280 or your croy boat this contract signing, Well, no, you moron. 0:16:10.760 --> 0:16:13.080 You don't complain about something that they rarely do. You 0:16:13.120 --> 0:16:15.760 complain when they do it every other week. This was 0:16:15.800 --> 0:16:19.960 a good contract signing and it ended with the cameraman 0:16:20.680 --> 0:16:24.440 speaking of This was not actually Survivor series n seven, 0:16:24.480 --> 0:16:27.520 but it was the bill to Survivor series when they 0:16:27.560 --> 0:16:31.760 did the gimmick camera operator to open the door for 0:16:31.840 --> 0:16:35.400 Helen his cell to lead to undertaking Shawn Michael's getting out, 0:16:35.480 --> 0:16:40.040 which actually made sense. And uh they cameraman here ends 0:16:40.080 --> 0:16:44.280 up being Don Callis and he waffles Hangman Page with 0:16:44.320 --> 0:16:48.440 the camera Hangman's bleeding all over the place. Omega gets 0:16:48.480 --> 0:16:52.600 his blood and signs the contract. Total old school simple 0:16:52.880 --> 0:16:56.520 contracts signing. Heat angle. I thought this show was great, 0:16:57.080 --> 0:17:00.520 great go home show. Yes, weird out of too One 0:17:00.600 --> 0:17:02.680 last thing, Mike, what's they had a go home show 0:17:02.760 --> 0:17:04.520 long time ago? I think it might have been one 0:17:04.560 --> 0:17:06.119 of the early go home shows for one of their 0:17:06.160 --> 0:17:09.639 early pay per views. It was like no wrestling to 0:17:09.640 --> 0:17:12.719 speak of. It was any good. It was all video packages, 0:17:12.960 --> 0:17:14.880 all angles, and you want to build up your pay 0:17:14.880 --> 0:17:16.680 per view with video packages and that sort of thing, 0:17:17.520 --> 0:17:19.639 But it didn't feel like a Dynamite show because there 0:17:19.680 --> 0:17:23.160 was no good wrestling. Well, they learned their lesson. This 0:17:23.280 --> 0:17:25.760 was like a great go home show. There were angles, 0:17:25.880 --> 0:17:28.840 video packages, and also this was one of the best 0:17:28.920 --> 0:17:33.160 wrestling Dynamites in a long long time. Just a great 0:17:33.200 --> 0:17:36.280 go home show. I thought so too. And they did 0:17:36.320 --> 0:17:39.639 all that without giving away a big match, you know, 0:17:39.680 --> 0:17:41.520 if you think about it. Yeah, you started off with 0:17:41.560 --> 0:17:44.640 Brian Danielson against Rocky Romero, which for a lot of us, 0:17:45.119 --> 0:17:47.800 you know, that's a big deal for a variety of reasons. 0:17:47.840 --> 0:17:50.560 But bottom line is, there was no super shiny thing 0:17:50.600 --> 0:17:54.920 on here. It was just solid segment after solid segment. 0:17:55.080 --> 0:17:58.640 Was everything perfect? Absolutely not no, But I mean, look 0:17:58.640 --> 0:18:00.879 how they kicked the thing off with Dason and Romero. 0:18:01.040 --> 0:18:04.719 You got Ramero and the best friends, you know, officially 0:18:05.760 --> 0:18:11.160 all being sucked into chaos by the decree of Kazuchka Okada. 0:18:11.280 --> 0:18:14.280 And obviously the best friends were Trent and Chuck were 0:18:14.320 --> 0:18:16.879 over there before as members of Chaos, but you know, 0:18:16.960 --> 0:18:19.480 they melded those things together and then you get this 0:18:19.560 --> 0:18:23.200 great Bryan Changelson Rocky Romero atch which set the tone 0:18:23.200 --> 0:18:25.080 of the show, and I think it sets the tone 0:18:25.119 --> 0:18:28.000 of where we're at and wrestling right now. The Sixth Woman, 0:18:28.119 --> 0:18:29.960 I thought was it was way too much Rebel. And 0:18:30.040 --> 0:18:31.760 I love Rebel for a lot of what she can 0:18:31.800 --> 0:18:34.800 do as far as being, you know, the comic relief 0:18:34.840 --> 0:18:37.520 for Britt Baker, and obviously she serves a lot of 0:18:37.560 --> 0:18:41.760 purposes for that company behind the scenes, but I would 0:18:41.800 --> 0:18:44.800 love to see somebody added to that package because Jamie 0:18:44.800 --> 0:18:48.680 Hayter is killing herself. Jamie Hayter takes more big bumps 0:18:49.160 --> 0:18:53.080 that I don't think people realize until you see her 0:18:53.080 --> 0:18:55.920 out there actually working. I mean, she is working super hard, 0:18:56.440 --> 0:18:59.160 and I think they need another person there that gets 0:18:59.200 --> 0:19:03.199 Rebel out of the room and allows somebody else to 0:19:03.240 --> 0:19:05.239 take some heat for Britt Baker and maybe can even 0:19:05.280 --> 0:19:08.160 team up with Jamie Hayter, you know, on a regular basis, 0:19:08.240 --> 0:19:10.280 and be somebody else there to be a heater and 0:19:10.359 --> 0:19:13.200 to to take away some of the heat from that group. 0:19:13.760 --> 0:19:15.959 Jungle Boy Anthony Bones against second week in a row. 0:19:16.000 --> 0:19:18.000 Anthony Bones has had a really good match. I don't 0:19:18.040 --> 0:19:20.720 know what's going on next Caster when he comes off 0:19:20.760 --> 0:19:22.720 the bench, but you know, Bones on his own, It's 0:19:22.760 --> 0:19:26.199 kind of like Dante Martin, where you know, obviously the 0:19:26.200 --> 0:19:29.240 other partner, and in Martin's case, his brother is gonna 0:19:29.280 --> 0:19:31.800 come back and you're gonna see him back together. You know, 0:19:31.880 --> 0:19:34.959 you're starting to see you know where down the line. 0:19:35.160 --> 0:19:37.920 You know, Bones on his own, you know, could He's 0:19:37.960 --> 0:19:40.480 got a great look. He could be something. He obviously's 0:19:40.520 --> 0:19:42.880 got the talk. It's about getting the experience in the ring, 0:19:43.280 --> 0:19:45.680 and he's going to continue to do that there. Wheeler 0:19:45.760 --> 0:19:48.560 Unit takes a great ass kicking. I'm I hope he's 0:19:48.600 --> 0:19:51.520 full time in a w hope to continue to use him. 0:19:51.720 --> 0:19:54.480 He's great as a young guy. You saw his potential. 0:19:54.720 --> 0:19:56.399 You also saw him take some mass kickings in the 0:19:56.520 --> 0:19:58.800 last two weeks that have been very good, especially with 0:19:58.840 --> 0:20:01.520 a guy like Ward Low who's green, Leo Rush and 0:20:01.600 --> 0:20:04.720 Dante Martin and Matt Side. Lee Moriarty I thought was fantastic. 0:20:04.760 --> 0:20:07.480 Lee Moriarty is one of the best underrated guys in 0:20:07.520 --> 0:20:09.399 the world. He was a great pickup for them, and 0:20:09.440 --> 0:20:11.560 now you can see why him working with Dante Martin 0:20:11.680 --> 0:20:14.800 was fabulous and Mariott He's got a lot more experience 0:20:14.800 --> 0:20:17.080 than a lot of those guys do on the ground, 0:20:17.359 --> 0:20:19.600 you know, he the Daniel Garcia is a guys like 0:20:19.680 --> 0:20:23.159 that in a w It's great. And Leo Rush. I 0:20:23.240 --> 0:20:27.960 hope he's done retiring because we need Leo Rush every 0:20:28.000 --> 0:20:31.440 week doing something. He's a great promo, he's a great presence. 0:20:31.760 --> 0:20:34.320 You want to cheer for him, you want you can 0:20:34.400 --> 0:20:36.160 put you in a position where you want to kill him. 0:20:36.600 --> 0:20:39.720 And his team with Donte Martin, I think is fantastic, 0:20:39.760 --> 0:20:41.560 and I think that's great. I think sidell with a 0:20:41.600 --> 0:20:44.160 group of Mariarty and somebody else, I think that's gonna 0:20:44.160 --> 0:20:46.720 be really cool too. Maybe it's just it's Matt's brother. 0:20:46.800 --> 0:20:49.439 I don't know, but I like that idea a lot too, 0:20:49.520 --> 0:20:52.080 because the idea of the side els and Lee Moriarty 0:20:52.160 --> 0:20:55.600 against two point oh and Daniel Garcia. That makes me happy. 0:20:56.040 --> 0:20:57.520 Dax Harbor was one of the best. I don't know 0:20:57.520 --> 0:20:58.880 if he's one of the best wrestlers in the world. 0:20:58.920 --> 0:21:00.879 I'm gonna say he is He's part of the I 0:21:00.920 --> 0:21:02.920 would argue, one of the best, if not the best 0:21:02.920 --> 0:21:05.840 tag team in the world. I'm really looking forward to, 0:21:06.880 --> 0:21:09.959 you know, Luca Brothers, which and FDR. Hopefully they can 0:21:10.000 --> 0:21:13.560 get things jelled together. But Dax Hardwood was amazing in 0:21:13.600 --> 0:21:17.560 this Pack was amazing. These guys are Pack was amazing. 0:21:17.640 --> 0:21:23.160 These guys the brain busters were amazing. The Avalanche brainbuster, 0:21:23.240 --> 0:21:26.040 the Dax Hardwood or that poc used and then vice 0:21:26.160 --> 0:21:29.520 versa with Dax Harwood. I that match was so good. 0:21:29.600 --> 0:21:32.199 Dax Hardwood is so damn good. And that's not to 0:21:32.240 --> 0:21:34.920 take away anything from Pack, but damn we see Dax 0:21:34.960 --> 0:21:38.000 Harwood just time after time after time do the small 0:21:38.080 --> 0:21:40.520 things that are just excellent, and he can make anybody 0:21:40.560 --> 0:21:42.639 look good, let alone when he got a guy with 0:21:42.680 --> 0:21:46.080 that type of level impact Omega and Page. I thought 0:21:46.080 --> 0:21:48.119 the contract sign he was perfect. I thought it's what 0:21:48.200 --> 0:21:51.320 it needed to be. I thought Don Kallis is a 0:21:51.359 --> 0:21:54.119 horrible human being. He is a scum of the earth. 0:21:54.240 --> 0:21:57.800 He's a pimple on the ass of professional wrestling. He 0:21:58.040 --> 0:22:02.000 is a huckster m Manitoba. That's just what he is. 0:22:02.560 --> 0:22:06.760
