WEBVTT - Dynamite Surprises/NXT Ziggler Debut/Ratings Recap 0:00:00.320 --> 0:00:02.840 Hey, this is Brian Alvarez and this is today's edition 0:00:02.880 --> 0:00:06.640 of the Wrestling Observer Daily podcast on the eight Side Network. 0:00:08.640 --> 0:00:16.360 Let's get it all. How's going everybody? Brian Albarez here 0:00:16.440 --> 0:00:19.600 on Wrestling Observer Live. We are here every day Monday 0:00:19.600 --> 0:00:23.040 through Friday, New Pacific three Eastern, Sunday three Pacific, six Eastern. 0:00:23.760 --> 0:00:27.240 Well it is Wednesday on this show. You know that 0:00:27.280 --> 0:00:31.680 means Dynamite is tonight, and a lot of stuff happening 0:00:31.680 --> 0:00:36.240 on Dynamite tonight. We're going to have at least one debut, 0:00:37.320 --> 0:00:40.199 and certainly the rumors are that we will have to. 0:00:41.240 --> 0:00:43.919 So we got a lineup for the show tonight. We'll 0:00:43.920 --> 0:00:46.239 tell you about everything scheduled for the Dynamite show and 0:00:46.320 --> 0:00:49.720 some speculation about who the two big surprises might be 0:00:50.200 --> 0:00:53.400 if there are two, I think there's two, and all 0:00:53.520 --> 0:00:55.640 of the rest of the news coming out of a 0:00:55.960 --> 0:00:59.160 w Dynamite. We have also got an x T two 0:00:59.200 --> 0:01:01.840 point oh last night, Everyone's Favorite topic. A lot of 0:01:01.880 --> 0:01:05.120 stuff happened on nx TEA, including the debut of Dolph Ziggler, 0:01:05.680 --> 0:01:11.520 who interrupted the summit between braun Breaker and Santos Escobar. 0:01:11.840 --> 0:01:14.120 This was the go home segment for their big match 0:01:14.240 --> 0:01:17.880 next week, but Dolph Ziggler was the focus of the segments. 0:01:17.920 --> 0:01:20.200 It was a little bizarre, we can tell you about that. 0:01:20.600 --> 0:01:24.440 And as noted the Raw ratings, Raw in fact drew 0:01:24.560 --> 0:01:29.040 its lowest audience in history and actually only the second 0:01:29.200 --> 0:01:32.399 lowest eighteen to forty nine in history. This of course 0:01:32.560 --> 0:01:34.280 was the show that is pre empted due to the 0:01:34.319 --> 0:01:37.080 Olympics that moved to sci Fi. We talked about this yesterday. 0:01:37.240 --> 0:01:41.480 Not really anything to be overly concerned about. It is 0:01:41.520 --> 0:01:44.480 what it is. I mean, everything going up against the 0:01:44.520 --> 0:01:47.000 Winter Olympics is going to take a hit, whether that 0:01:47.120 --> 0:01:51.720 be W W E programming, a w programming, or whatever 0:01:51.760 --> 0:01:55.040 the programming might be. But we'll give you the the 0:01:55.160 --> 0:01:59.280 hourly numbers and all of the details on Raw. Interestingly enough, 0:01:59.560 --> 0:02:01.720 the set an hour actually did the best of the 0:02:01.920 --> 0:02:04.760 three hours, So we'll go into the ratings and all 0:02:04.760 --> 0:02:07.600 of that kind of good stuff, and also updates on Yes, 0:02:07.720 --> 0:02:10.760 we are actually going to have a women's Dusty Cup, 0:02:11.080 --> 0:02:12.920 but you announced it will be taking place in a 0:02:13.080 --> 0:02:16.480 two weeks so apparently they now figured out who's gonna 0:02:16.480 --> 0:02:19.000 be and all of these teams, so we'll get into that. 0:02:19.080 --> 0:02:21.760 Mikesp for viv Joints is and more. After the break 0:02:21.800 --> 0:02:49.079 Observer Live, but the show bran Over is here Wrestling 0:02:49.120 --> 0:02:54.200 Observer Alive, Mikes and Berviti also Wrestling Observer dot Com. 0:02:54.240 --> 0:02:57.840 Hello everyone, y'all enjoyed the toga party yesterday? I hope? 0:02:57.880 --> 0:03:05.239 So where's Mike now? He's there checking and it looks 0:03:05.280 --> 0:03:07.440 like we got a lot of people enjoyed it. I'm 0:03:07.440 --> 0:03:11.639 not blurry? Am I auto focus again? It's like, oh man, 0:03:11.720 --> 0:03:15.000 look at that? What is going on? Everything? I think 0:03:15.040 --> 0:03:18.600 we need to just manually manually auto focused it every 0:03:18.680 --> 0:03:20.919 day for some reason? Is the color right this time? 0:03:21.080 --> 0:03:23.040 I don't know what's going on? All right, let's get 0:03:23.120 --> 0:03:25.840 right in the news here Tonight's Dynamite and obviously there's 0:03:26.440 --> 0:03:30.120 a lot of speculation about who who's debuting on the 0:03:30.160 --> 0:03:34.800 show tonight. Tony Kahn continued to pound the drum. It 0:03:34.840 --> 0:03:38.240 says here from Wrestling Observer dot Com with multiple media 0:03:38.240 --> 0:03:41.560 outlets that Wednesday's Dynamite from Atlantic City, New Jersey will 0:03:41.560 --> 0:03:45.240 be special for several reasons. Speaking of both people the 0:03:45.280 --> 0:03:47.920 inside are busted open and separate interviews contact about tonight's 0:03:47.920 --> 0:03:51.440 surprise news signing that will debut against Isaiah Cassidy in 0:03:51.480 --> 0:03:53.680 the face of the Revolution qualifying match in the show. 0:03:53.720 --> 0:03:56.000 In general, he says, I'm going to try to satisfy 0:03:56.040 --> 0:03:57.680 a lot of fans tonight. I had a lot of 0:03:57.720 --> 0:03:59.960 thoughts over the weekend and what that means. I pivot 0:04:00.000 --> 0:04:01.600 had some plans in the last few days in a 0:04:01.640 --> 0:04:05.360 good way to make tonight's show even better, told puple 0:04:05.480 --> 0:04:08.920 Insiderythings designing is a quote major one for them and 0:04:08.920 --> 0:04:12.240 that he hopes people's expectations will be met, also saying 0:04:12.240 --> 0:04:13.960 that even if the person isn't one of the guests, 0:04:14.000 --> 0:04:17.039 as fans have, that does not change the possibility of 0:04:17.040 --> 0:04:20.359 them showing up in a w in the future. He 0:04:20.440 --> 0:04:22.000 said that while there are a lot of fun things 0:04:22.040 --> 0:04:25.320 planned for Wednesday already, there is more that they have 0:04:25.440 --> 0:04:29.280 not announced, some of which will come today and into 0:04:29.440 --> 0:04:31.800 the evening. There is also gonna be some really exciting 0:04:31.839 --> 0:04:34.040 things on the show that have not been announced yet. 0:04:34.120 --> 0:04:37.520 He said he was non committal to p w Insider 0:04:38.040 --> 0:04:40.640 on whether there will be more than one debut tonight. 0:04:41.040 --> 0:04:43.040 I don't want to get too specific to say exactly 0:04:43.120 --> 0:04:45.080 what's going to happen. It's going to be a great 0:04:45.160 --> 0:04:47.039 night for the fans. I promise there will definitely be 0:04:47.120 --> 0:04:49.760 one surprise, and I think there will be some other 0:04:49.920 --> 0:04:54.679 really fun stuff along the way to Part of cons 0:04:54.720 --> 0:04:57.520 approaches listening to the fans, which is driving some of 0:04:57.560 --> 0:04:59.360 what they will see Wednesday. I really do value the 0:04:59.360 --> 0:05:01.480 feedback from the fans, what they have to say. Part 0:05:01.520 --> 0:05:02.760 of the reason I'm going to do a lot of 0:05:02.800 --> 0:05:05.640 things we're gonna do on tonight's shows because I listened 0:05:05.640 --> 0:05:08.040 to the fans in their voice and what they want 0:05:08.200 --> 0:05:10.120 to see. There's a lot to look forward to on 0:05:10.120 --> 0:05:14.279 this show. So announced his Hangman Page Lance Archer, Texas 0:05:14.320 --> 0:05:18.160 death Match and appearance by m jf Isaiah Cassidy versus 0:05:18.160 --> 0:05:23.880 a debuting top wrestler, and an Inner Circle team meeting. 0:05:25.640 --> 0:05:29.920 Tony con also said the new debuting star walking through 0:05:29.960 --> 0:05:33.360 the Forbidden Door on Wednesday's Dynamite will also set up 0:05:33.400 --> 0:05:38.960 this Friday's rampage. He called it a huge signing. It's 0:05:38.960 --> 0:05:41.480 gonna be a big reveal on Dynamite. It sets up 0:05:41.520 --> 0:05:44.720 this week's rampage, puts a lot of iron on the fire. 0:05:45.160 --> 0:05:46.960 We have created an environment in a w W W where 0:05:46.960 --> 0:05:50.000 people routinely expect great wrestling matches, and we have wrestlers 0:05:50.000 --> 0:05:53.080 to live up to those expectations. I've created some debate 0:05:53.600 --> 0:05:56.680 about what it means to open the forbidden door, and 0:05:56.680 --> 0:05:58.760 that's what we're going to do here on this show, 0:05:59.600 --> 0:06:02.320 he said. I recently asked Danielson and Jade Cargill, who's 0:06:02.320 --> 0:06:05.080 already starting an amazing runs our TBS Champion, to work together. 0:06:05.440 --> 0:06:10.480 Brian is gonna be training Jade Cargill. Well, that's good coaching. 0:06:10.520 --> 0:06:17.360 I guess it would be better. So anyway, it's gonna 0:06:17.360 --> 0:06:21.600 be tonight. Who's gonna be tonight? Anybody? I'll tell you, 0:06:21.680 --> 0:06:24.560 I think it's gonna be who I believe. And I'm 0:06:24.600 --> 0:06:27.479 not reporting this because I I don't actually know who's 0:06:27.480 --> 0:06:31.760 gonna be there tonight, but I I believe that tonight 0:06:31.800 --> 0:06:34.400 you will see the debut of Keith Lee and you 0:06:34.400 --> 0:06:39.480 will also see the A E W debut of j White. 0:06:40.440 --> 0:06:42.520 I do believe that both of those people are gonna 0:06:42.520 --> 0:06:45.760 be there tonight. They might not be, and as Tony 0:06:45.800 --> 0:06:50.479 conn noted, maybe the debuting wrestler is not Keith Lee. Well, 0:06:50.520 --> 0:06:52.240 if that's the case, maybe Keith Lee is going to 0:06:52.279 --> 0:06:54.560 show up later on. But it appears. Here's the two 0:06:54.640 --> 0:06:58.039 things that I can tell you that appear inevitable Jay White. 0:06:58.160 --> 0:07:00.520 At some point, it's going to appear for a W. 0:07:01.080 --> 0:07:04.160 He's promoted it himself on every New Japan Strong show 0:07:04.160 --> 0:07:06.160 that I've seen in the last couple of months. Now, 0:07:06.160 --> 0:07:08.600 whenever he's got a live mike, he's gonna show up 0:07:08.600 --> 0:07:11.440 at some point. I think it's gonna be tonight. Keith 0:07:11.520 --> 0:07:16.520 Lee his his uh, he's likely likely signed with with 0:07:16.600 --> 0:07:19.920 a W. UH. We'll find out soon enough, but I 0:07:19.920 --> 0:07:21.800 believe that Keith Lee is going to end up in 0:07:22.000 --> 0:07:24.400 a W one way or the other. So that's why 0:07:24.400 --> 0:07:26.440 I think it's gonna be here tonight. Could be other people, 0:07:26.560 --> 0:07:30.160 but that's my prediction. Now, I know you're you're kind 0:07:30.160 --> 0:07:32.120 of allergic to it, you know, but do you want 0:07:32.120 --> 0:07:34.280 to have some fun here a little bit? Since I 0:07:34.320 --> 0:07:37.240 hate fun? I know you have streperous little man you. 0:07:37.360 --> 0:07:39.960 But you know, we've talked about a lot of names, 0:07:40.040 --> 0:07:43.840 names that you know won't be there for contractual reasons, 0:07:43.880 --> 0:07:46.680 like Jeff Hardy. Names that could be there like Keith Lee, 0:07:47.040 --> 0:07:51.360 Johnny Gargano, some people talking about I would say with 0:07:51.480 --> 0:07:54.200 nine certainty it's not gonna be Johnny. But I'm just saying, 0:07:54.240 --> 0:07:56.400 you know, there's all these names that have kind of 0:07:56.440 --> 0:07:58.360 been floated out there, with Keith Lee being the most 0:07:58.400 --> 0:08:00.320 obvious one in j White like you men, and I 0:08:00.360 --> 0:08:02.320 think that would make a lot of sense for tonight. 0:08:02.400 --> 0:08:05.480 But there are a lot of new Japan contracts that 0:08:05.560 --> 0:08:10.000 had run out. So could we see Camatonga, g O D. 0:08:10.280 --> 0:08:13.920 Could we see Juice Robinson who I think Juice Robinson 0:08:14.000 --> 0:08:17.240 fit Finley I think would be a great addition in 0:08:17.280 --> 0:08:19.480 a lot of ways. Fly that would be a great addition. 0:08:22.080 --> 0:08:24.840 I'm sorry, David, I'm sorry, it's I'm old and your 0:08:24.880 --> 0:08:29.720 father was great. Um, Look, you don't know Bandido Rush. 0:08:30.440 --> 0:08:32.600 I don't know where they fit in because of politics 0:08:32.679 --> 0:08:35.600 with Mexico and things like that. But you know, it's 0:08:35.600 --> 0:08:38.120 interesting to think about some names that are out there 0:08:38.160 --> 0:08:40.439 that could come in that people are not as hyper 0:08:40.520 --> 0:08:43.640 focused on, which could make it really cool, especially if 0:08:43.640 --> 0:08:45.079 you do get a keep Belie and then you do 0:08:45.200 --> 0:08:47.439 get a left field surprise, and I guess for some 0:08:47.559 --> 0:08:49.800 people that would be j White. But you know, again, 0:08:49.840 --> 0:08:51.559 there's so many names out there that could come in 0:08:51.679 --> 0:08:56.480 and be impactful. Again, Juice Robinson, I think, and again 0:08:56.480 --> 0:08:58.120 I don't know the situation of impact or any of 0:08:58.200 --> 0:09:00.760 that stuff. I think he would be as addition onto 0:09:00.800 --> 0:09:04.360 the a W roster. Here's the deal. What I love 0:09:04.440 --> 0:09:08.520 to see Juice Robinson and David Finley and a W. 0:09:08.880 --> 0:09:12.720 Of course I would what I like to see any 0:09:12.880 --> 0:09:16.520 number of of talented New Japan wrestlers there. Yes, but 0:09:16.600 --> 0:09:20.680 here's the deal. Tony Khan has has built this up big, Okay. 0:09:21.200 --> 0:09:24.920 I love Juice Robinson, I love David Finley. No, no, no, Look, 0:09:24.960 --> 0:09:27.760 I'm saying that not only as the only person. I'm 0:09:27.800 --> 0:09:32.360 saying along with Safe of course I would. No, the 0:09:32.400 --> 0:09:34.679 secondary person has got to be someone like J White 0:09:35.240 --> 0:09:38.559 to me, Like I I mean, if people are expecting 0:09:38.720 --> 0:09:41.079 somebody from New Japan to step through the forbidden door, 0:09:41.400 --> 0:09:43.760 I'm sure that like the real hardcorees would be excited 0:09:43.800 --> 0:09:47.480 for Juice Robinson and David Finley. But J White is 0:09:48.160 --> 0:09:50.120 at the top of the of all people. By the way, Mike, 0:09:50.120 --> 0:09:52.280 you're the biggest J. White fan in the world leaving 0:09:52.360 --> 0:09:55.000 on top of this pyramid. Look, but do you want 0:09:55.000 --> 0:09:59.320 to shoot that wade I'm looking at A double shot 0:09:59.400 --> 0:10:01.199 is over with me? You know. I want to do 0:10:01.320 --> 0:10:05.160 this tonight because Raw, even though it was on Sci Fi, 0:10:06.840 --> 0:10:10.760 it did a terrible number. So you know, both shows 0:10:11.000 --> 0:10:13.559 this week. I mean, man, this is I don't know. 0:10:13.600 --> 0:10:16.560 If they could beat Raw in viewership and eighteen forty nine, 0:10:17.000 --> 0:10:19.080 it would uh eighteen and forty nine. I think they 0:10:19.120 --> 0:10:22.600 can easily beat Raw. Actually total viewership. I'm not sure 0:10:22.600 --> 0:10:25.720 about that, but they it's it's not impossible. You're right, 0:10:25.880 --> 0:10:30.080 You're absolutely right. But that's gonna be established because there's 0:10:30.120 --> 0:10:33.040 going to be a surpriser too, you know what I mean, 0:10:33.160 --> 0:10:35.600 J White? Unless J White debuts at the very beginning 0:10:35.600 --> 0:10:37.920 of the show and then we see numbers rise, which 0:10:38.280 --> 0:10:40.280 could very well happen if J White is on your show. 0:10:40.360 --> 0:10:42.320 That's how much I believe in that guy, best wrestler 0:10:42.360 --> 0:10:46.959 in the world. Take that Osprey anyway, Look, if the 0:10:47.240 --> 0:10:49.600 number is gonna be set, I think so. I don't 0:10:49.679 --> 0:10:51.760 know if that's him being on the show is going 0:10:51.800 --> 0:10:53.800 to be that it's not going to cause the number 0:10:53.840 --> 0:10:56.160 to go up. That that die I think is already 0:10:56.240 --> 0:11:00.319 cast going into the show tonight. So here's what Raw did, 0:11:01.040 --> 0:11:04.640 lowest audience in history, second lowest eighteen to forty nine 0:11:04.720 --> 0:11:08.720 in history. The show did one point three nine million 0:11:08.920 --> 0:11:11.880 viewers at an O point three six and eighteen to 0:11:12.040 --> 0:11:15.679 forty nine. I would be very surprised if Dynamite did 0:11:15.679 --> 0:11:18.800 not beat that point three six, but they have done 0:11:18.880 --> 0:11:22.160 one point three million before. But they would basically need 0:11:22.200 --> 0:11:24.000 to do one point four million for the show tonight, 0:11:24.280 --> 0:11:26.400 and I I don't think there's much of a chance 0:11:26.440 --> 0:11:28.839 of that happening. With the move to Sci Fi due 0:11:28.880 --> 0:11:32.400 to the Winter Olympics, record lows were expected. Demo number 0:11:32.440 --> 0:11:35.800 actually is raw second ever, as the December six raw 0:11:35.960 --> 0:11:39.920 on USA did a point three five went up against 0:11:39.960 --> 0:11:43.000 the Bills versus the Patriots. Raw still third on cable, 0:11:43.040 --> 0:11:46.880 behind Olympic coverage on the USA network, the five to 0:11:47.080 --> 0:11:49.760 eight coverage doing one point eight one million viewers and 0:11:49.800 --> 0:11:51.880 a point three at an eighteen and forty nine eight 0:11:51.960 --> 0:11:54.760 to midnight two point oh seven million viewers and an 0:11:54.800 --> 0:12:01.959 o point four. Oh so, I mean, honestly, honestly, like, 0:12:02.280 --> 0:12:04.880 these numbers are not terrible. I mean, when you look 0:12:04.920 --> 0:12:08.040 at them, they sure sound terrible, but considering the show 0:12:08.120 --> 0:12:11.520 was moved to Sci Fi on Monday night and if 0:12:11.520 --> 0:12:13.559 you watch the show, it wasn't like they packed the 0:12:13.600 --> 0:12:15.959 show or anything like that. I mean, these are not 0:12:16.160 --> 0:12:20.520 terrible numbers. The uh oh, I hear the music, Well, 0:12:20.600 --> 0:12:22.920 too bad. I'm gonna go through the break the main 0:12:22.960 --> 0:12:25.520 Olympic events aired on nb I'm just kidding. Back at 0:12:25.559 --> 0:12:50.000 the moment Observer Live. Back in the show, Bryan Albert 0:12:50.120 --> 0:12:52.960 is here Wrestling Observer Live. Mike some per viv also 0:12:53.080 --> 0:12:56.520 Wrestling Observer dot Com. We got a tough guy in 0:12:56.600 --> 0:12:59.839 the YouTube chat. Yeah, oh yeah, he's a tough guy. 0:13:00.280 --> 0:13:03.160 He's gonna call in and school me later. Oh yeah, 0:13:03.320 --> 0:13:05.720 on what I'll be waiting. Well, you know, he's he's 0:13:05.800 --> 0:13:09.559 ranting about how much Dynamite sucks because they have never 0:13:10.080 --> 0:13:13.000 come close. He says to what they did for their 0:13:13.160 --> 0:13:17.679 very first a W Dynamite, and uh, I made note that, 0:13:18.280 --> 0:13:20.319 you know, the very first SmackDown on Fox and four 0:13:20.400 --> 0:13:23.280 million viewers, and they've never come close to that. In fact, 0:13:23.480 --> 0:13:25.559 they're two million away from what they did for that 0:13:25.640 --> 0:13:29.120 first show on Fox. But apparently this doesn't count, you see. 0:13:29.200 --> 0:13:31.240 So he's gonna school me as to why it's different 0:13:31.800 --> 0:13:35.480 that the SmackDown debut on Fox being half of what 0:13:35.640 --> 0:13:38.520 they did for their first show is fine, but a 0:13:38.880 --> 0:13:41.360 W being down a couple hundred thousand from their their 0:13:41.480 --> 0:13:45.320 peak is horrible. I'll be interested to hear this myself. 0:13:45.440 --> 0:13:47.280 Because I'm one of those people. I put a little 0:13:47.280 --> 0:13:50.360 bit more weight on that he won't call though probably not, 0:13:51.320 --> 0:13:53.120 you know, but I put a little bit more weight 0:13:53.200 --> 0:13:56.240 on that benchmark than say, like Dave doves Dave dismisses it. 0:13:56.320 --> 0:13:59.000 Go it's always gonna drop fifty cent or whatever it is. 0:13:59.600 --> 0:14:03.240 And that's understandable, but it's also shows you that, Okay, 0:14:03.880 --> 0:14:07.080 this is how many people at least one time. That's 0:14:07.160 --> 0:14:09.079 always the goal that you're going to shoot for. And 0:14:09.160 --> 0:14:12.040 obviously there's little things here and there, and for right now, 0:14:12.160 --> 0:14:14.560 a W I think you know, their number is a million, 0:14:14.960 --> 0:14:16.920 and when he comes to w W E, when he 0:14:17.000 --> 0:14:20.560 comes to RAW, I mean, what's their number one point 0:14:21.240 --> 0:14:24.120 four million at this point, one point five million, one 0:14:24.160 --> 0:14:28.240 point six million. And you know, it's not that dramatically different. 0:14:28.320 --> 0:14:31.120 Now SmackDown obviously is different being on the Fox network. 0:14:31.520 --> 0:14:34.680 But I mean, I I just think, if that's what 0:14:34.800 --> 0:14:37.000 you're gonna try to call in and use as the 0:14:37.080 --> 0:14:40.720 reason that Dynamite sucks, like that's the best you got. 0:14:41.000 --> 0:14:43.880 Don't bother calling in? Really, you know, he could text 0:14:43.920 --> 0:14:47.160 an email as well. Briant Wrestling observation because it makes 0:14:47.200 --> 0:14:51.080 it a lot more pain zo seven five six six. 0:14:51.200 --> 0:14:52.880 I stepped on the number. Give it again four to 0:14:53.120 --> 0:14:57.120 five seven eight zero seven five six six. I'll read 0:14:57.160 --> 0:15:01.120 it verbatim unless you swear. I can't to do that. No, No, 0:15:01.920 --> 0:15:05.640 let's see the first hour of the show one point 0:15:05.760 --> 0:15:08.720 three eight million viewers, second hour rose to one point 0:15:08.800 --> 0:15:13.000 four five million, and then UH tumbled again at UH 0:15:13.640 --> 0:15:16.680 one point three four million viewers. So those are the 0:15:16.800 --> 0:15:20.840 raw numbers for for Monday. And keep in mind, I 0:15:20.880 --> 0:15:23.960 mean same, same deal could happen with Dynamite, happened with 0:15:23.960 --> 0:15:28.040 the rampage and SmackDown last week because the Olympics are 0:15:28.120 --> 0:15:32.960 a powerhouse. I haven't actually checked how the Olympics are here. 0:15:33.000 --> 0:15:34.800 I hear their way down in viewership, is that right? 0:15:35.480 --> 0:15:38.720 I have no idea. It's not a clue we actually 0:15:38.840 --> 0:15:40.520 are for me because I'm not watching the hockey and 0:15:40.560 --> 0:15:44.960 that's usually the only thing I watch. Alrighty w W 0:15:45.320 --> 0:15:49.760 revealed when this year's Women's Dusty Classic will be kicking off. 0:15:50.360 --> 0:15:52.920 U last night's at X T, it was announced the 0:15:54.040 --> 0:15:57.760 Women's Dusty roodse At Tag Team Classic would begin in 0:15:57.960 --> 0:16:01.400 two weeks. I feel like I've heard that before and 0:16:01.440 --> 0:16:04.200 I see will be back on USA that night after 0:16:04.280 --> 0:16:06.600 two straight weeks of airing on Sci Fi. So yeah, 0:16:07.080 --> 0:16:10.200 n x T on Sci Fi yesterday. We're gonna get 0:16:10.240 --> 0:16:13.720 that number in about thirty minutes. Maybe this bloc will 0:16:13.760 --> 0:16:15.720 talk about how great that number is. Well, he's at it. 0:16:16.800 --> 0:16:18.800 List of teams will take part of the Women's Dusty 0:16:18.880 --> 0:16:21.120 Classic if yet to be announced for Kell Gonzals in Court, 0:16:21.320 --> 0:16:25.920 jade Eo Shrii and Kaylee Ray and Lyssa Leone and 0:16:26.120 --> 0:16:28.640 Valentina Ferraz have been set up as three of the 0:16:28.680 --> 0:16:32.840 teams that will be taking part in the tournament. It's 0:16:32.840 --> 0:16:36.640 always starting, of course, is out of action this story. 0:16:36.680 --> 0:16:37.920 Should I do the I'll do the n x T 0:16:38.040 --> 0:16:39.960 report after the break. Might need a little bit of 0:16:40.040 --> 0:16:44.960 time ample time. This show is is is funny and bad, 0:16:45.880 --> 0:16:50.280 although I do, uh, there are things that are Memphis show. 0:16:51.480 --> 0:16:53.480 I mean, you know it's funny too. I'll talk about 0:16:53.480 --> 0:16:56.520 the Creed Brothers. They're great. Okay, here's the thing with 0:16:56.600 --> 0:17:01.280 these Creed brothers. So we got Julius and Brutus. They 0:17:01.280 --> 0:17:03.240 should have been part of our toga party last night, 0:17:03.280 --> 0:17:08.520 by the way, and uh so, uh if I recall 0:17:08.600 --> 0:17:13.080 correctly here correct me if I'm wrong. Julius is the 0:17:13.240 --> 0:17:16.200 taller one, right, and Brutus is the short, stocky one. 0:17:17.000 --> 0:17:22.200 Is that right? Okay? So uh, I watched the show, 0:17:22.359 --> 0:17:26.399 and and maybe Dave was confused or maybe I don't know. 0:17:27.080 --> 0:17:34.200 He says that they are very high on Julius. He's 0:17:34.280 --> 0:17:38.200 the taller one, okay, And I you know, they do 0:17:38.359 --> 0:17:40.439 like guys that are tall and everything like that. But man, 0:17:40.520 --> 0:17:42.480 I watched these two guys, and man, I am so 0:17:42.720 --> 0:17:46.320 much more into Brutus than Julius. Like Julius is fine 0:17:46.359 --> 0:17:50.120 and all, but but of the two of them, Julius 0:17:50.119 --> 0:17:51.719 is the one that looks like he's gonna kill somebody. 0:17:53.040 --> 0:17:56.560 And he's also like he's tall and all, but he's 0:17:56.760 --> 0:17:58.760 he's you know, I don't want to say he doesn't 0:17:59.240 --> 0:18:02.479 he's kind of Yankee. He's kind of a tall, lanky, 0:18:03.080 --> 0:18:07.720 normal looking guy to me. And Brutus, I mean, he 0:18:07.840 --> 0:18:12.000 puts the brute in Brutus. This guy is a thick, powerful, 0:18:12.640 --> 0:18:16.199 mean looking you know. I just think that he's got 0:18:16.280 --> 0:18:19.000 way more upset at this point, and he and Julius 0:18:19.080 --> 0:18:21.000 looks more green than his brother. Like when I see 0:18:21.040 --> 0:18:23.200 the two of them in there, I feel like Julius 0:18:23.280 --> 0:18:26.040 is the one that needs way more work than than 0:18:26.119 --> 0:18:29.000 Brutus does. But they're a fun team when they're in 0:18:29.040 --> 0:18:31.159 there with guys that can like carry them to a 0:18:31.240 --> 0:18:33.479 good match. You put them with two guys that are 0:18:33.480 --> 0:18:37.120 also green, and it's just like the wrong kind of violence. 0:18:37.520 --> 0:18:40.240 You know, something's gonna get killed. But that's it. I mean, 0:18:40.800 --> 0:18:45.960 I believe every single thing that they are doing everything. 0:18:46.320 --> 0:18:48.919 When they fall out of the ring on their heads, 0:18:49.160 --> 0:18:51.720 in the top of you know, on their necks, I 0:18:51.840 --> 0:18:54.400 believe that when they are thumping around they were doing 0:18:54.440 --> 0:18:57.399 the deal with the knees. I thought that was a 0:18:57.480 --> 0:19:00.520 great spot, you know, the back and forth with delivering 0:19:00.520 --> 0:19:02.920 the knees and the guy rolls over. I I thought 0:19:03.000 --> 0:19:06.440 that was awesome. I think they're great. And they are 0:19:07.119 --> 0:19:09.680 again that old expression of puppies with big paws, both 0:19:09.760 --> 0:19:12.800 of them and I. And it's unfortunate that we're already 0:19:12.840 --> 0:19:17.600 hearing that they are favoring one over another, because it's 0:19:17.680 --> 0:19:19.680 just to me, it's like the USOS. You just put 0:19:19.760 --> 0:19:22.880 these two guys together of the Steiners for as long 0:19:23.040 --> 0:19:25.800 as you possibly can, because the mileage you can get 0:19:25.880 --> 0:19:29.960 out of them as a team is I'm not saying 0:19:30.000 --> 0:19:32.920 it's infinite. But I mean, we've seen this formula work 0:19:32.960 --> 0:19:35.640 and pro wrestling for a gazillion years. With two meat 0:19:35.720 --> 0:19:39.280 head brothers out there just recking shop on people, I 0:19:39.600 --> 0:19:43.280 think it's great. All right, Well, let's do some of 0:19:43.320 --> 0:19:45.400 the feedback here and then we'll go into this. Uh 0:19:45.840 --> 0:19:48.879 this deal here is full n x T review in 0:19:49.000 --> 0:19:51.399 a in a moment. That's all the major news. By 0:19:51.400 --> 0:19:52.840 the way, today, we're just waiting to find out what 0:19:52.920 --> 0:19:57.760 happens on Dynamite, So uh, let's see what we got. 0:19:57.880 --> 0:20:02.080 Any scoops or hints on the ADEP I should read 0:20:02.119 --> 0:20:06.280 him before I read him. Do you have it? It's 0:20:06.320 --> 0:20:10.080 two now listen if you missed the first part of 0:20:10.119 --> 0:20:14.320 the show, I believe I believe it is. Keith Lee 0:20:14.800 --> 0:20:18.080 and Jay wat will be debuting on the show here tonight. 0:20:18.720 --> 0:20:21.280 And I know that you know, some people are are 0:20:21.400 --> 0:20:24.639 up in arms about this term forbidden door, and h 0:20:25.040 --> 0:20:26.800 Keith Lee is not walking through a forbidden door. You 0:20:26.880 --> 0:20:29.840 not fired from the other place, Isn't that? I think 0:20:29.920 --> 0:20:33.080 Tony just like the term forbidden door was used a lot, 0:20:33.760 --> 0:20:37.920 and so he appropriated it and he's going to use it. Obviously. 0:20:38.400 --> 0:20:41.879 Keith Lee is not stepping through any forbidden door. And obviously, 0:20:42.000 --> 0:20:44.080 now that they're working with New Japan, it's not really 0:20:44.119 --> 0:20:48.000 a forbidden door anymore. But I believe that Ja White 0:20:48.160 --> 0:20:51.639 coming in would be considered stepping through his idea of 0:20:51.720 --> 0:20:54.800 the forbidden door. And uh and Keith Lee, you know 0:20:55.600 --> 0:20:57.800 I don't get to hang up hung up on these words. 0:20:58.000 --> 0:21:00.280 You know what I'm saying, Like, does anyone ex expect 0:21:00.320 --> 0:21:02.520 that someone under contract with w w E's coming in 0:21:02.960 --> 0:21:07.240 because they're not gonna No one from w w E. Ali, 0:21:07.800 --> 0:21:09.520 You know what I'll tell you, No one from a 0:21:09.800 --> 0:21:11.879 W is gonna be in this year's Royal rumble? Are 0:21:11.920 --> 0:21:13.959 you sure I'm gonna be like that guy last year 0:21:14.000 --> 0:21:16.040 that did this prediction of something that had already occurred. 0:21:18.480 --> 0:21:24.120 He didn't win, by the way the voyagers that prediction 0:21:24.200 --> 0:21:33.959 contest I did. I won. I was the winner. It's 0:21:36.040 --> 0:21:39.200 right now, d O U c H. You can do 0:21:39.320 --> 0:21:44.440 a prediction contest and people claim that you rigged predicting 0:21:44.480 --> 0:21:48.399 the future. You can't do that. I accurately predicted the 0:21:48.440 --> 0:21:51.919 future better than anybody, and so I'm the winner. If 0:21:51.960 --> 0:21:56.120 you don't like it, you predict the future. I've only 0:21:56.240 --> 0:22:00.479 won once you've sullied this whole process and a trophy. 0:22:00.560 --> 0:22:05.720 I mean honorable people like myself, Tara Jim in Virginia. 0:22:06.160 --> 0:22:09.240 I mean we were past winners and we you know, 0:22:09.880 --> 0:22:12.760 we really brought that honor up and raised it up 0:22:12.800 --> 0:22:16.119 for the people. Now Here, you come bastardizing the whole thing. 0:22:16.160 --> 0:22:18.920 You want to talk about appropriation. Here, you just come 0:22:18.960 --> 0:22:21.600 in wanting to do something so you could buy yourself 0:22:21.720 --> 0:22:24.960 some more gold. That The fact of the matter, Mike 0:22:25.200 --> 0:22:29.600 is if I were really like not fair or unfairly rigging, 0:22:29.840 --> 0:22:33.119 you wouldn't have won last year. But you did. So 0:22:33.240 --> 0:22:35.520 that's everything everybody needs to know about how fair this contest. 0:22:36.600 --> 0:22:38.480 The last thing I want to do is award you 0:22:38.840 --> 0:22:42.000 with a plaque. But I did because I'm a fair man, 0:22:42.400 --> 0:22:44.840 I'm undeniable, and I put it up to a vote 0:22:44.880 --> 0:22:50.200 and I was the winner. On your Twitter, Yeah, the 0:22:50.240 --> 0:22:52.360 worst place for me to put a poll on whether 0:22:52.440 --> 0:22:55.879 or not I should win. This person says a lack 0:22:55.920 --> 0:22:59.320 of a card als for Dynamite adds to the spookiness 0:22:59.440 --> 0:23:02.960 and mystik of the show. This person says, what is 0:23:03.040 --> 0:23:09.560
