Are you ready? Let's get it all. 0:00:13.440 --> 0:00:17.360 How's it telling everybody? Brian Alvarez here on Wrestling Observer Live. 0:00:17.520 --> 0:00:20.240 We are here every day Monday through Friday, New Pacific, 0:00:20.320 --> 0:00:23.800 three Eastern, Sunday three Pacific, sixth Eastern. It serves out 0:00:23.800 --> 0:00:27.400 of the show. You know that means aw Dynamite was 0:00:27.480 --> 0:00:30.800 last night. We have the world famous Dynamite Report today 0:00:32.080 --> 0:00:34.839 and I was not available on the show yesterday, so 0:00:34.880 --> 0:00:39.000 I hope that in my absence, Mike Semper peb did 0:00:39.040 --> 0:00:45.919 an excellent world famous NXT report. There's only one thing 0:00:45.920 --> 0:00:48.080 about NXT I want to talk about. I'll do that 0:00:48.200 --> 0:00:50.680 later on today. But anyway, we got a lot to 0:00:50.720 --> 0:00:54.480 get into, including Steve Boston saying is in ring days 0:00:54.520 --> 0:00:58.600 have officially come to an end in WWE, he says, 0:00:58.800 --> 0:01:02.959 or anywhere for that matter, And he claims that he 0:01:03.840 --> 0:01:08.080 has not been contacted for the WrestleMania show next weekend, 0:01:08.280 --> 0:01:10.240 but anything can happen. Tell you more about that today. 0:01:10.280 --> 0:01:15.120 Alexa Bliss unmasked yesterday as the masked singer that's what 0:01:15.200 --> 0:01:19.520 she was doing during her hiatus. I'll tell you more 0:01:19.520 --> 0:01:22.399 about that aw taken house shows on the road talking 0:01:22.400 --> 0:01:24.800 about al shows a while ago. And of course the 0:01:24.880 --> 0:01:27.280 question that always comes up is why does anyone care 0:01:27.319 --> 0:01:29.280 about how it draws? Ever it makes any money? I 0:01:29.319 --> 0:01:32.360 just want to enjoy the show. Well, if it doesn't 0:01:32.400 --> 0:01:34.000 do well, there ain't gonna be a show. But you 0:01:34.040 --> 0:01:38.039 know what, that first one did well, thirty two hundred 0:01:38.080 --> 0:01:40.600 fans and a thirty four hundred seed building. And now 0:01:40.600 --> 0:01:45.360 they are expanding their live house show series, so wherever 0:01:45.440 --> 0:01:48.600 you are, you may be getting a w house shows 0:01:48.640 --> 0:01:51.520 coming to your area very soon. And everyone seemed to 0:01:51.600 --> 0:01:54.280 very much enjoy those house shows, so that would be 0:01:54.320 --> 0:01:57.120 fun if you were in the area. At XT ratings 0:01:57.200 --> 0:02:02.240 from a Tuesday night, the World of Baseball Classic went 0:02:02.320 --> 0:02:05.000 head to head and did very very well, and so 0:02:05.200 --> 0:02:08.120 NXT suffered as a result of that. And then, as noted, 0:02:08.200 --> 0:02:13.000 we have some notes from NXT and in a W 0:02:13.280 --> 0:02:17.200 dynamite on a Wednesday. Anyway, a lot to get into today. 0:02:17.800 --> 0:02:44.560 Back in a moment of Deserver Live, Oh my god, 0:02:45.120 --> 0:02:48.120 what can we get this thing off to a worst 0:02:48.120 --> 0:02:52.440 start today? How can you hate avocado? I still like avocados. 0:02:52.480 --> 0:02:56.160 What's wrong with that? What a sin? Guacamole, that's not 0:02:56.240 --> 0:02:59.600 a sin. I just don't like avocados, a lot of things. 0:02:59.639 --> 0:03:02.080 I'm gonna. I'm gonna. I'm gonna make tacos after the 0:03:02.080 --> 0:03:13.320 show today where grass fed beef cheese. I have some 0:03:13.720 --> 0:03:16.799 pico on it. And I didn't start the show like this. 0:03:16.840 --> 0:03:21.280 Everywod as Mike's fault. Mike's Mike's still He's still in uh, 0:03:21.320 --> 0:03:26.120 he's still in host mode because I was on hiatus yesterday. 0:03:26.160 --> 0:03:29.800 But I'm back.

Because I bought them Monday and I 0:04:20.200 --> 0:04:24.240 paid for one to three day shipping, which would be Tuesday, Wednesday, 0:04:24.360 --> 0:04:26.680 or Thursday. Well, the tracking says we're not gonna be 0:04:26.720 --> 0:04:28.800 here till Monday. So I don't know if you've ever 0:04:28.839 --> 0:04:32.760 done math. Okay, but if you order on Monday and 0:04:32.839 --> 0:04:35.160 they don't arrive till the following Monday, that's not one 0:04:35.200 --> 0:04:38.880 to three days, okay, that's seven days. So I'm gonna 0:04:38.920 --> 0:04:41.640 be really angry. They needed I leave Saturday morning. They 0:04:41.640 --> 0:04:44.200 gotta be here by Friday, okay, or there's gonna be 0:04:44.279 --> 0:04:49.520 trouble because this company, as company has got spring for 0:04:49.600 --> 0:04:53.440 overnight shipping, they didn't have. First off, don't don't start rumors. 0:04:53.760 --> 0:04:56.120 Second off, they didn't have overnight shipping. The the the 0:04:56.279 --> 0:05:00.400 quickest was one to three days, okay, and I chose 0:05:00.440 --> 0:05:02.280 one to three, and so did Tom by the way. 0:05:02.279 --> 0:05:05.760 By the way, and Tom's tom Shipping said his we're 0:05:05.800 --> 0:05:07.640 gonna be here till Saturday.

It's in uh, 0:06:05.800 --> 0:06:08.960 it's somewhere I'm not sure where, Crown Point, Indiana, somewhere. 0:06:09.080 --> 0:06:11.279 It's the same place they all, yeah, I don't know 0:06:11.279 --> 0:06:13.480 where that is, but you can go check it out, 0:06:13.720 --> 0:06:16.719 and it's gonna be a party afterwards. I gotta I'm 0:06:16.760 --> 0:06:18.880 flying home. I get back here at I think ten 0:06:19.000 --> 0:06:22.919 thirty am on Sunday in the party. The party's in 0:06:22.960 --> 0:06:25.400 the afternoon. It's gonna be it's gonna be awesome. I've 0:06:25.440 --> 0:06:28.520 got I've got a list of of only close friends 0:06:28.680 --> 0:06:30.320 that are coming to this. I don't I don't need 0:06:30.320 --> 0:06:32.720 any miscreant's trying to start trouble or anything like that. 0:06:32.920 --> 0:06:34.760 I don't even know Mark's showing up when to put 0:06:34.760 --> 0:06:37.680 the belt on. So you know, it's gonna be a 0:06:37.680 --> 0:06:40.279 good time. But it'll be a fun show next week 0:06:40.279 --> 0:06:44.440 all next week. It'll be a fun show into perpetuity. Because, 0:06:45.760 --> 0:06:50.080 let's be honest, anyway, head's big now just wait, just wait. 0:06:50.920 --> 0:06:54.159 But anyway, speaking of big bald heads, Stone Bold, Steve 0:06:54.200 --> 0:06:57.400 Boston's in ring days have officially come to an end 0:06:57.440 --> 0:07:00.560 in w w E or anywhere for that matter, which 0:07:00.560 --> 0:07:03.520 it says here on the front page. But I think 0:07:03.560 --> 0:07:06.679 we should have put that in quotation. Marks Austin told 0:07:06.800 --> 0:07:10.720 NBC Los Angeles. While he loves his relationship with w 0:07:10.720 --> 0:07:12.400 w E, he does not miss being in the mix 0:07:12.440 --> 0:07:15.200 on a regular basis. Although he centered open to return 0:07:15.280 --> 0:07:17.640 for appearances, coming back to do something from time to 0:07:17.680 --> 0:07:20.200 time is fine. I love my relationship with we but 0:07:20.280 --> 0:07:22.680 my days in the ring are done. Although I did 0:07:22.720 --> 0:07:24.880 do the main event at WrestleMania last year in Dallas, 0:07:25.200 --> 0:07:27.000 that's kind of a fluke and we pulled it off. 0:07:27.000 --> 0:07:29.160 He said, it's good to be back and see some 0:07:29.240 --> 0:07:30.800 of the faces, but I've been gone for a long 0:07:30.840 --> 0:07:35.440 time and I do not miss it. Austin returned the 0:07:35.480 --> 0:07:38.640 first night of last year's Mania thirty eight in Dallas, 0:07:39.680 --> 0:07:44.080 and you know, I was just I went last weekend 0:07:44.080 --> 0:07:49.680 to a jiu jitsu seminar and with Pedro Sour and 0:07:50.040 --> 0:07:53.360 we were talking about how, you know, there's all these 0:07:53.400 --> 0:07:56.040 people and it's not just jiu jitsu, but it's all 0:07:56.080 --> 0:07:58.360 sorts of things. If you if you do yoga or 0:07:58.400 --> 0:08:00.280 you do whatever, you know, if you do for a 0:08:00.320 --> 0:08:03.680 long time, you look back and you go, man, all 0:08:03.720 --> 0:08:06.600 those guys, remember all those guys that used to train, 0:08:06.760 --> 0:08:10.080 and then you know, this guy got married, this guy 0:08:10.120 --> 0:08:13.280 had kids, this guy moved, this guy just quit. And 0:08:13.400 --> 0:08:15.360 you think about all these guys that you knew over 0:08:15.400 --> 0:08:17.320 the years, and then you know, they just they just 0:08:17.320 --> 0:08:20.560 stopped doing it. And then we talked about how and 0:08:20.680 --> 0:08:22.360 every now and then one of those guys comes back. 0:08:23.480 --> 0:08:25.360 I'm not calling you out, producer, Rob, I just saw 0:08:25.560 --> 0:08:27.400 that just now. I'm not talking about you, but I'm 0:08:27.400 --> 0:08:29.360 just saying in general, every now and then one of 0:08:29.360 --> 0:08:33.160 these guys comes back, okay, and you know, they come 0:08:33.200 --> 0:08:35.199 back and they're like, oh man, I'm back, I'm all 0:08:35.240 --> 0:08:37.679 ready to go, like let's do this. And you know, 0:08:37.679 --> 0:08:40.360 they do a class and then you don't see him again, 0:08:41.800 --> 0:08:43.360 or maybe they do a class and then ye'll see 0:08:43.400 --> 0:08:45.920 him a couple they do another class, they disappear again, 0:08:46.720 --> 0:08:49.520 and you know, it was like, why does this happen? Like, 0:08:50.240 --> 0:08:51.640 you know, why don't they just come back and just 0:08:51.640 --> 0:08:53.319 have some fun and just get back into it again. 0:08:53.360 --> 0:08:56.440 Why did they come back? And then they disappear? And 0:08:56.640 --> 0:08:59.640 you know there's there's two things. One is they they 0:08:59.679 --> 0:09:01.360 come back and they try and do what they were doing, 0:09:01.520 --> 0:09:04.520 you know, ten years ago, and you know you change. 0:09:05.080 --> 0:09:07.200 It hurts, Yeah, you don't wake up the next day, 0:09:07.240 --> 0:09:10.559 you can't move. Or the other thing is, and this 0:09:10.600 --> 0:09:13.480 is what Steve Boston is talking about, when you leave 0:09:14.080 --> 0:09:16.640 a place and all your friends are there and you're 0:09:16.760 --> 0:09:19.200 used to the way it is, and for whatever reason, 0:09:19.200 --> 0:09:21.360 you have to quit and then you know six seven 0:09:21.400 --> 0:09:24.200 eight years. You go back, what you're expecting is to 0:09:24.240 --> 0:09:26.600 be what it was like when you left, and it 0:09:26.679 --> 0:09:30.800 never is. There's maybe it'll be like your same instructor 0:09:30.880 --> 0:09:34.040 or whatever, but you know, there's different people there. There's 0:09:34.080 --> 0:09:38.959 a different vibe. Like everything's different. It's all changed, and 0:09:39.160 --> 0:09:41.319 you're going back expecting it to be the way that 0:09:41.360 --> 0:09:43.920 it used to be. And I'm sure that Steve Boston 0:09:43.960 --> 0:09:45.880 went back last year and he had a lot of fun. 0:09:46.480 --> 0:09:49.360 And this is not burying any of the people there 0:09:49.559 --> 0:09:51.719 or the way things are today, Like if you look 0:09:51.720 --> 0:09:54.160 at the nineties, I mean, in general, things are way 0:09:54.200 --> 0:09:56.840 better today than they used to be. People aren't dying 0:09:56.920 --> 0:10:01.200 regularly and rampant drug use, and you know all of 0:10:01.200 --> 0:10:02.679 these other things that we had in the nights that 0:10:02.720 --> 0:10:06.960 were terrible. But it's different, it's different, and I'm sure 0:10:06.960 --> 0:10:09.640 when he went back it was like, man, this just 0:10:09.679 --> 0:10:12.520 ain't the vibe. It's just ain't what it used to be. 0:10:13.080 --> 0:10:15.360 You know, the guys are all nice, actually a lot 0:10:15.480 --> 0:10:18.800 nicer and whatever, but it ain't what it used to be. 0:10:18.920 --> 0:10:21.160 And I think that's what Steve Auston is talking about here. 0:10:21.320 --> 0:10:23.440 He came back, he had his fun, he had a 0:10:23.440 --> 0:10:27.439 good match, but dude, you don't miss it. It's just different. 0:10:27.880 --> 0:10:30.959 How old is Steve Auston, I don't know, fifty something. 0:10:31.559 --> 0:10:34.640 There are a majority of the people that are working 0:10:34.679 --> 0:10:38.360 there could be Steve Auston's kids, and some of those 0:10:38.440 --> 0:10:41.520 kids are already having kids where it would make Steve 0:10:41.520 --> 0:10:43.840 Auston a grandparent when it comes to looking at some 0:10:43.880 --> 0:10:47.720 of that locker room times change, things change, and there's 0:10:47.760 --> 0:10:50.920 a guy he didn't probably go out exactly the way 0:10:50.920 --> 0:10:53.080 that he wanted to because he did get injured and 0:10:53.080 --> 0:10:55.200 there was all that in the lead up there. But 0:10:55.240 --> 0:10:58.199 you know what, I don't think he has too many regrets, 0:10:58.280 --> 0:11:02.360 and he's got a happy life, a happy career after wrestling, 0:11:02.440 --> 0:11:07.040 in fact, multiple careers after wrestling, So it is time 0:11:07.120 --> 0:11:09.559 he does have enough. Look, he's got enough respect and 0:11:09.640 --> 0:11:12.680 knowledge for himself and the wrestling business to know it 0:11:12.960 --> 0:11:15.640 is other people's times, and that he has not come 0:11:15.640 --> 0:11:18.360 back as others have when they've been asked over and 0:11:18.400 --> 0:11:22.280 over again, even with the lure of huge dollars in 0:11:22.400 --> 0:11:25.360 huge matches. He's foughted every step of the way, and 0:11:25.440 --> 0:11:28.120 good for him, and nobody should really be surprised that 0:11:28.240 --> 0:11:30.160 he seems to be putting a period at the end 0:11:30.160 --> 0:11:35.280 of the sentence. Alexa Bliss was unmasked on The Masked 0:11:35.320 --> 0:11:38.440 Singer last night, ended up being eliminated on the show, 0:11:39.160 --> 0:11:44.240 revealing herself to have been under the axilonal mask. I 0:11:44.240 --> 0:11:47.400 don't know what that is. In her post elimination interview, 0:11:47.480 --> 0:11:49.760 she explained that she felt proud of herself for doing 0:11:49.800 --> 0:11:52.760 the show as it helped her confront her stage fright 0:11:52.880 --> 0:11:57.280 in terms of singing in public. What an amazing experience. 0:11:57.360 --> 0:12:00.240 Thank you to WWE and Masked Singer. They'll return it 0:12:00.320 --> 0:12:04.160 next week. Her last appearance in the ring was it 0:12:04.280 --> 0:12:09.679 the Royal Rumble in January, February, March two months or whatever. 0:12:10.600 --> 0:12:14.440 But she was not on hiatus. She was merely doing 0:12:14.480 --> 0:12:19.040 the Masked Singer while not appearing at all one programming. 0:12:20.080 --> 0:12:23.120 But now she is going to be returning presumably, so 0:12:23.240 --> 0:12:27.719 that's the updates. Yeah, and also now she'd be given 0:12:27.720 --> 0:12:30.920 the all clear after undergoing a procedure to remove skin cancer.

Observer Lives, 0:12:37.840 --> 0:12:45.240 bring the show. Bryan Elvarez here Wrestling Observer Live. Miximburbbi 0:12:45.280 --> 0:12:48.480 also wrestling abser dot com. He WI taking steps to 0:12:48.480 --> 0:12:52.480 expands live house show series company announce a deal with 0:12:52.520 --> 0:12:57.720 Toronto's feldham An Agency and Turbo Entertainment on Wednesday.

Hey This director of business 0:13:07.000 --> 0:13:11.280 Development Jeff Jarrett says the film An Agency in Turbo 0:13:11.320 --> 0:13:14.320 were quickly identified as quote the perfect partner to enhance 0:13:14.360 --> 0:13:19.640 our efforts into the Canadian market. So they're gonna be around. 0:13:19.679 --> 0:13:22.400 It's North America, so it's gonna be doing shows in Canada. 0:13:22.480 --> 0:13:25.760 They'll be doing shows in the US aw House Show 0:13:26.040 --> 0:13:30.560 or House Rules series just the beginning and yeah, well, 0:13:30.720 --> 0:13:33.520 you know, we'll see how it does because as we 0:13:33.520 --> 0:13:37.600 have learned, as we have learned first time in the market, 0:13:37.640 --> 0:13:40.320 just do a show, throw some names on the poster, 0:13:41.200 --> 0:13:43.280 you know, go to a market that hasn't gotten aw 0:13:43.559 --> 0:13:47.720 show or there hasn't been local promotion it proximity and 0:13:48.559 --> 0:13:50.760 run a show and the first one is going to 0:13:50.800 --> 0:13:53.720 probably do pretty well. Then of course after that we 0:13:53.720 --> 0:13:57.000 don't know, like I say that we should do, you know, 0:13:57.080 --> 0:13:59.640 put a young bucks versus FTR match is the main 0:13:59.679 --> 0:14:02.839 event Celtic but we don't even know. I mean maybe 0:14:02.840 --> 0:14:05.440 if you only go to Troy, Ohio once a year, 0:14:05.920 --> 0:14:09.360 you don't need anything. So I guess, you know, we'll 0:14:09.400 --> 0:14:11.600 find out. We need to find out how these shows 0:14:11.640 --> 0:14:13.880 do in the markets. We need to find out how 0:14:13.880 --> 0:14:16.439 the second show does in the markets that we we 0:14:16.480 --> 0:14:18.679 need to make, you know, terminations from that point as 0:14:18.720 --> 0:14:21.200 to what they need to do or not do. But 0:14:22.000 --> 0:14:24.440 you know, the first one, what they did ended up 0:14:24.480 --> 0:14:30.280 being a success. So from there we just we see 0:14:30.280 --> 0:14:34.080 how they do. There's no one size fits all answer here, 0:14:34.080 --> 0:14:35.920 you know. And by the way, did you notice did 0:14:35.960 --> 0:14:38.400 you notice by the way Hook and Ethan Page was 0:14:39.280 --> 0:14:42.200 a warm up match for a TV match, So they 0:14:42.240 --> 0:14:44.480 did do that. That's what you're supposed to do on 0:14:44.560 --> 0:14:47.360 those things. Try things out, work things out, you know, 0:14:47.760 --> 0:14:50.840 different matches and if you're going to have a match 0:14:50.920 --> 0:14:52.760 coming up. I mean, this has been done in wrestling 0:14:52.760 --> 0:14:54.640 for years. If you go to the garden, you know, 0:14:54.800 --> 0:14:57.200 week or two before a big show, you might get 0:14:57.280 --> 0:14:59.840 that show, you know, a big match worked out right 0:14:59.840 --> 0:15:01.960 and front of your eyes. That's how it works. They 0:15:02.120 --> 0:15:06.000 just release the aw unrestricted with Jeff Jarrett on there. 0:15:06.040 --> 0:15:09.280 I guess getting into some detail about how the house 0:15:09.280 --> 0:15:11.280 shows come together. I haven't heard it. I'm going to 0:15:11.320 --> 0:15:14.320 actually listen to it after we get done with this 0:15:14.360 --> 0:15:16.520 show because I am interested in all of that sort 0:15:16.520 --> 0:15:20.160 of stuff. I'm interested to see how they build these markets, 0:15:20.200 --> 0:15:22.120 what they have as far as boots on the ground 0:15:22.120 --> 0:15:24.240 and things like that when it comes to local promotion, 0:15:24.320 --> 0:15:27.840 because again we're watching something from the ground up start. 0:15:27.960 --> 0:15:29.960 Same thing with Ring of Honor. We've seen Ring of 0:15:29.960 --> 0:15:32.840 Honor do things in different ways. We have a brand 0:15:32.840 --> 0:15:34.760 new owner of it. Now, how does he go about 0:15:34.800 --> 0:15:38.240 building this thing up? You know, we've seen he didn't 0:15:38.240 --> 0:15:40.200 get a TV deal. We see it's on Honor Club. 0:15:40.240 --> 0:15:43.320 We've seen them run now house shows. It's just interesting 0:15:43.320 --> 0:15:45.280 to see how all of this stuff is coming together 0:15:45.280 --> 0:15:48.160 because we're all seeing it happen in front of our eyes. 0:15:49.920 --> 0:15:54.840 NXT on a Tuesday twenty ninth on Cable point one 0:15:55.240 --> 0:16:00.760 two five hundred and fifty thousand viewers. XT is lowest 0:16:00.760 --> 0:16:03.520 audience since December sixth of last year. They were head 0:16:03.520 --> 0:16:08.360 to head with the World Baseball Classic, which one point 0:16:08.360 --> 0:16:10.720 four six in eighteen to forty nine and four point 0:16:10.720 --> 0:16:13.360 four million viewers, so that was a rough Actually, usually 0:16:13.440 --> 0:16:15.840 NXT when they have competition doesn't affect him too much, 0:16:15.840 --> 0:16:18.480 but this one did. And there's only one thing I 0:16:18.480 --> 0:16:21.280 want to talk about on the show, oh boy, and 0:16:21.400 --> 0:16:25.680 that is I could not even why did you run? Yesterday? 0:16:27.240 --> 0:16:30.280 There were two things I want to talk about the show, Bros. 0:16:30.480 --> 0:16:32.680 I don't care what you think of n XT or whatever. 0:16:33.280 --> 0:16:36.240 Stop what you're doing after this show and co watch 0:16:36.360 --> 0:16:41.400 this Jady McDonagh Eliot Dragonov match. Oh my god, the 0:16:41.600 --> 0:16:46.160 finish was a bad DQ. But dude, these guys, like, 0:16:46.680 --> 0:16:49.760 don't watch the Bikingo Kenny Omega match and then go 0:16:49.800 --> 0:16:55.640 watch this match, because you know they're they're absolutely completely 0:16:55.640 --> 0:16:58.600 totally different. But like, if you've got nothing to do, 0:16:59.240 --> 0:17:03.520 watches drag an ob JD match. This match was so awesome. 0:17:04.200 --> 0:17:09.960 They destroyed each other and we had a bad DQ finish, 0:17:10.040 --> 0:17:13.760 but this match was incredible up until that point. So 0:17:13.800 --> 0:17:15.560 then the other thing I got to talk about is 0:17:15.560 --> 0:17:24.000 is this great debate between the Schism and Andre I Am. 0:17:24.400 --> 0:17:29.840 I Am the Schism and andre Chase University. So this 0:17:29.920 --> 0:17:32.119 is actually one of those things. I mean, don't I'm 0:17:32.119 --> 0:17:34.560 not gonna pretend I liked it because it's one of 0:17:34.600 --> 0:17:38.520 those deals where how's watching. I have no idea why 0:17:38.520 --> 0:17:41.600 they're having a debate. I have no earthly idea what's 0:17:41.600 --> 0:17:46.239 going on, and everybody's just saying words, and like I 0:17:46.320 --> 0:17:48.760 was just what in God's name is going on here? 0:17:49.160 --> 0:17:54.480 But the debate is almost over. I don't know who's winning. 0:17:55.359 --> 0:17:58.560 I don't even know if it matters. I don't know 0:17:58.600 --> 0:18:01.119 if the winner gets I don't even know what's going on. 0:18:01.640 --> 0:18:04.639 But Tyler Bate shows up and he says, I would 0:18:04.640 --> 0:18:08.520 like to say something. It's him and jaggerk which thank 0:18:08.560 --> 0:18:10.800 god somebody said the name Jagger, because I cannot remember 0:18:10.840 --> 0:18:13.280 this guy's name for the life for me. Tyler Bate 0:18:13.359 --> 0:18:17.919 then cuts this corny victory promo. They have victory music 0:18:18.000 --> 0:18:21.760 playing and everybody's cheering and everything. I like this a 0:18:21.840 --> 0:18:26.159 hokiest thing I ever saw. But then he says, we 0:18:27.240 --> 0:18:33.439 Andre Chase University challenge you the schism and you're a 0:18:33.520 --> 0:18:36.719 horrible name to an eight man tag get the pay 0:18:36.800 --> 0:18:42.359 per view, and everyone's cheering, and then Joe Gacy says, 0:18:44.880 --> 0:18:49.040 I don't know about this, and we don't, and then 0:18:49.160 --> 0:18:57.560 Duke Hudson stands up and he says, Gacy, listen, We'll 0:18:57.560 --> 0:19:00.639 put up the school and Andre Chase and everyone's like 0:19:00.680 --> 0:19:04.360 what and Casey says, you'll put up the school. Duke 0:19:04.400 --> 0:19:09.080 Cutson says, we'll put up the school. Casey says, You're on. 0:19:10.560 --> 0:19:16.800 So they're doing the schism versus Andre Chase University, and 0:19:16.800 --> 0:19:20.960 Andre Chase University is on the line. Now for those 0:19:20.960 --> 0:19:22.720 of you that don't get any of this, okay, that 0:19:22.840 --> 0:19:30.320 have forgotten months ago, we're talking like October, they did 0:19:30.359 --> 0:19:35.800 a storyline where Keana James wanted to buy Chase You 0:19:36.800 --> 0:19:40.040 because she was gonna sell the land. Do you remember this? 0:19:41.040 --> 0:19:44.880 And she was turned it down and it was like 0:19:45.280 --> 0:19:49.119 the very next week, who happened to show up in 0:19:49.240 --> 0:19:54.920 one enroll in Chase You? But Duke Hudson, and Duke 0:19:55.040 --> 0:19:59.000 Hudson is you know what's going on? Everybody and they 0:19:59.000 --> 0:20:02.400 don't trust him him and this and that, and here 0:20:02.440 --> 0:20:04.760 we are months later. I don't even know if people 0:20:04.800 --> 0:20:11.960 remember this. Duke Udson had suddenly put Chase University on 0:20:12.000 --> 0:20:15.960 the line in this match. Wait a second, I can't 0:20:16.000 --> 0:20:21.160 even believe. I can't even believe that this thing is continuing, 0:20:21.520 --> 0:20:24.800 This is turning in After Dark, No yes, it has 0:20:24.960 --> 0:20:28.040 no way, Mike, are you telling me? You're telling me 0:20:28.119 --> 0:20:30.880 that's been a conspiracy the whole time between Yes, Duke 0:20:30.960 --> 0:20:34.199 Cutson and Keyana. Yes, with the Skism, how do they 0:20:34.440 --> 0:20:36.920 come on? Dude, I don't know what the Skism has 0:20:36.920 --> 0:20:39.920 to do with this, but that who wrote the letter? Hey, 0:20:40.080 --> 0:20:42.840 that who actually wrote the card. This might be a 0:20:42.920 --> 0:20:45.520 deal where like the Skism don't want no university, what 0:20:45.640 --> 0:20:48.280 any with that? But but they want Duke Kudson. They 0:20:48.280 --> 0:20:50.879 made it clear they want Duke Kudson. So maybe the 0:20:50.920 --> 0:20:55.439 agreement is, brother, you join us, will you win the school? 0:20:55.800 --> 0:20:58.280 You can have it, And he's gonna give the school 0:20:58.320 --> 0:21:00.600 to Keyana. She's gonna sell it off for the land. 0:21:00.760 --> 0:21:03.919 Oh man, I was dying when I saw this. I 0:21:04.000 --> 0:21:06.240 was dying. I was like, this is the stupidest segment 0:21:06.240 --> 0:21:09.400 I've ever seen. But oh my god, we're actually following 0:21:09.480 --> 0:21:13.560 up on Duke Hudson infiltrating this place for five months 0:21:13.840 --> 0:21:16.400 so that he could get it and give it to Keyana. 0:21:16.880 --> 0:21:22.600 Maybe he's Sebastian. Have you ever thought about that? Maybe 0:21:22.720 --> 0:21:26.920 Duke Hudson is Sebastian. What if Tyler Bate is Sebastian 0:21:26.920 --> 0:21:30.080 and all the mind games that he has played, and 0:21:30.320 --> 0:21:33.320 Duke Hudson is actually innocent of everything that's going on. 0:21:33.440 --> 0:21:36.520 He's just disappointed in the losing that has been taking place, 0:21:36.560 --> 0:21:39.159 like for real and the real evil and all of 0:21:39.200 --> 0:21:42.400 this happens to be Tyler Bate, who obviously can play 0:21:42.440 --> 0:21:45.840 with people's minds. Look at THEO right now. She's insane. 0:21:46.160 --> 0:21:49.119 She read the whole Webster's Dictionary definition of whatever it 0:21:49.200 --> 0:21:51.240 was that she said. That was the other thing. During 0:21:51.280 --> 0:21:53.880 the whole thing, they asked questions and then I just 0:21:53.960 --> 0:21:56.479 they had rambling promos for a while. It was like 0:21:56.520 --> 0:22:00.879 me hosting this show. It kind of was actually, well anyway, 0:22:00.880 --> 0:22:02.439 that's all I want to say about that show, And 0:22:02.440 --> 0:22:06.119 then you know, the main event was just whatever. At 0:22:06.200 --> 0:22:09.080 least they didn't go fishing. But god it, you have 0:22:09.200 --> 0:22:11.800 done the worst job with these braun breaker fews, making 0:22:11.880 --> 0:22:14.480 me want to see them fight. Brian. If you had 0:22:14.520 --> 0:22:17.879 an assistant and you paid that assistant okay, and you 0:22:18.000 --> 0:22:23.880 had security at your office okay, and you're paying that security, 0:22:24.040 --> 0:22:26.639 shouldn't somebody tell you what's happening with the show that 0:22:26.680 --> 0:22:29.520 you weren't watching, Like, do you think somebody should have 0:22:29.600 --> 0:22:33.800 told Keana James watched the show fallon knows well, I 0:22:33.840 --> 0:22:37.760 mean she already knows. Hey, shouldn't someone tell Kenny Omega 0:22:38.000 --> 0:22:41.760 that that it wasn't that Kenny that that that this 0:22:41.760 --> 0:22:46.840 this despicable Moose Farmer or whatever. Don Callis took a 0:22:46.920 --> 0:22:50.280 phantom bomb Moose straight yeah, man rips off in you. 0:22:50.359 --> 0:22:53.000 It's in his spare time. He's a horrible dude, human being. 0:22:53.200 --> 0:22:57.320 That bumb horrible that bump that he took, Like, you 0:22:57.359 --> 0:23:00.239 know what's funny is I will never forget that there 0:23:00.240 --> 0:23:02.760 were bumps. I will never forget that there was a 0:23:02.880 --> 0:23:06.080 Kenny a Mega AA Kingo match. It was absolutely like 0:23:06.160 --> 0:23:08.520 on a different It was like from a different dimension. 0:23:08.600 --> 0:23:10.720 It's like some other planet. The way they do wrestling 0:23:10.760 --> 0:23:13.440 there and their spots, I will never forget, like the 0:23:13.640 --> 0:23:16.560 invert into the thing and they're running jumping six thirty 0:23:16.600 --> 0:23:19.480 outside through the table. But what I'm never gonna forget 0:23:19.560 --> 0:23:22.159 is that stupid bump that Don Callis took because it 0:23:22.200 --> 0:23:28.720 was the funniest, most preposterous, Like, dude, I mean, come on, 0:23:29.359 --> 0:23:31.800
