Plus it's true I am 0:06:46.680 --> 0:06:49.040 a pain in the ass. The question is how many 0:06:49.080 --> 0:06:51.560 times can I say it before? Remember when when on 0:06:52.040 --> 0:06:53.919 AW they had like a. 0:06:53.640 --> 0:06:54.320 Once per hour. 0:06:54.400 --> 0:06:55.039 Yeah, you could. 0:06:54.839 --> 0:06:57.400 Say you drop an S bomb once per hour, but 0:06:57.600 --> 0:07:00.280 anything more than that you would get in trouble. Well, anyway, 0:07:00.960 --> 0:07:03.080 are you ready to feel like that at ninety six? 0:07:03.200 --> 0:07:03.560 Lance? 0:07:04.880 --> 0:07:08.360 Yeah, I can't fathom making ninety six. For those who 0:07:08.400 --> 0:07:13.280 don't know, Brian's grandmother, the famous Granny double G from 0:07:13.600 --> 0:07:16.800 the Brian and Vinie Show, is ninety six today.

Maybe 0:08:40.600 --> 0:08:41.400 we'll even drink. 0:08:43.480 --> 0:08:45.960 Probably not, probably best you don't. 0:08:46.120 --> 0:08:48.720 Yeah, I don't like to tease stuff like that. All right, 0:08:49.080 --> 0:08:52.240 I should mention tonight as NXT. This is the actual 0:08:52.320 --> 0:08:54.680 NXT lineup. I got the whole thing wrong on Observer 0:08:54.800 --> 0:08:58.439 Radio last night. Because they've already started building next week's show, 0:08:58.720 --> 0:09:00.960 which is a much bigger show than this week's show. 0:09:01.480 --> 0:09:05.719 So tonight we've got Javon Evan versus Saquon of the 0:09:06.360 --> 0:09:10.080 what are those geeks Dark State? Yeah, the good news 0:09:10.120 --> 0:09:13.319 is Saquan's the one guy that's great, so him and 0:09:13.400 --> 0:09:18.080 Javon actually should have probably an incredible match. Fatal Influence 0:09:18.160 --> 0:09:21.360 versus Tatum Pasley is he Dame and Lola Ice and 0:09:21.480 --> 0:09:24.960 a six person and then the start of the tournament 0:09:25.080 --> 0:09:29.400 for the vacant speed title. I can't tell you how 0:09:29.440 --> 0:09:30.079 excited I. 0:09:30.040 --> 0:09:32.000 Am for that. 0:09:32.000 --> 0:09:35.560 That's coming up tonight, and then of course next next 0:09:35.600 --> 0:09:39.040 Tuesday is the Ricky Saints Trick Williams Last Man Standing match, 0:09:39.640 --> 0:09:44.800 as well as El Grande Americano against Jasper Troy for 0:09:44.960 --> 0:09:48.360 the speed title, who by the way, they beat El 0:09:48.400 --> 0:09:53.079 Grande last night, of course they did. And then tomorrow's 0:09:53.120 --> 0:10:01.199 aw Dynamite. We have got Mercedes Money and Athena versus 0:10:01.600 --> 0:10:04.080 the Babes of Wrath does ever know who they are? 0:10:05.080 --> 0:10:07.040 Willow and Harley. 0:10:06.960 --> 0:10:10.520 Harley Cameron and Willow Nightingale. That is the first round 0:10:10.520 --> 0:10:14.679 of the women's tag title tournament. And also Hangman Hook 0:10:14.760 --> 0:10:19.640 and Eddie Kingston versus Simo Joe Shabbada and Powerhouse Hobbs 0:10:20.440 --> 0:10:24.080 and absolutely nothing else so far. So we're back in 0:10:24.120 --> 0:10:27.680 that boat again. Maybe we'll get some more matches announced today. 0:10:28.040 --> 0:10:30.240 When's that million dollar tag match. 0:10:30.920 --> 0:10:31.760 At Full Gear? 0:10:32.080 --> 0:10:32.200 Oh? 0:10:32.240 --> 0:10:33.920 Okay, that's not on Dynamite. 0:10:33.920 --> 0:10:35.760 Okay, yeah, all right. 0:10:36.040 --> 0:10:41.520 We've got a bunch in New Japan News. So Russell 0:10:41.640 --> 0:10:45.319 Kingdom is January fourth, so we're two months away. We've 0:10:45.360 --> 0:10:49.240 already got four matches, so clearly Tony is not booking 0:10:49.240 --> 0:10:55.360 this one. So we've got Takeshta and Yodasuji title for title, 0:10:55.880 --> 0:11:01.040 the IWGP title versus the IWGP Global Title winner takes 0:11:01.120 --> 0:11:05.640 all in that main event, we have the Hiroshi Tanahashi 0:11:05.720 --> 0:11:11.240 retirement match, and at this point no opponent yet for Tanahashi, 0:11:11.640 --> 0:11:13.960 but Ghetto is vowed he will get him an opponent. 0:11:15.240 --> 0:11:19.679 We have Evil versus the debuting Aaron Wolf, which is 0:11:19.760 --> 0:11:25.880 now for the never Open Weight title. He's gonna make 0:11:25.920 --> 0:11:30.600 his pro wrestling debut. Aaron Wolf is an Olympian Olympic 0:11:30.640 --> 0:11:33.720 gold medal in judo at the twenty twenty Games and 0:11:33.840 --> 0:11:37.720 a huge name in Japan, and he is debuting against Evil, 0:11:37.720 --> 0:11:40.640 who is in fact his trainer. So that's I'm sure 0:11:40.679 --> 0:11:43.480 why that's taking place now. The Never open Weight title 0:11:43.559 --> 0:11:47.200 is on the line, and so if you haven't figured 0:11:47.200 --> 0:11:50.439 it out yet, the story of this year's tokyodom is 0:11:50.720 --> 0:11:54.000 it's time to push some young guys and some new guys. 0:11:54.640 --> 0:11:59.360 And so I would be flabbergasted if Yodasuji did not 0:11:59.520 --> 0:12:03.880 end up win the IWGP title from Takeshta. And obviously 0:12:03.920 --> 0:12:07.040 Aaron Wolf is getting shot out of a cannon on 0:12:07.920 --> 0:12:10.800 day one beating Evil for the Never open Weight title, 0:12:11.440 --> 0:12:14.080 and that's the idea. We need to make new young stars, 0:12:14.480 --> 0:12:19.280 we need to get people going a new generation and uh, 0:12:19.320 --> 0:12:20.240 and that's the idea. 0:12:20.320 --> 0:12:24.240 So I guess yes, it'd make you happy. Yeah, you're 0:12:24.280 --> 0:12:25.800 in favor of new young guys. 0:12:25.960 --> 0:12:29.640 I mean, in theory, like the Hiroshi Tanashi's opponent should 0:12:29.640 --> 0:12:31.800 be Javon Evans and then Javon beats him. I mean, 0:12:31.800 --> 0:12:34.720 that's what should happen. I don't think that's what's gonna happen, 0:12:35.280 --> 0:12:39.480 but it'll probably end up. I think the two names 0:12:40.800 --> 0:12:45.000 most likely to face Tanahashi in his final match are 0:12:45.120 --> 0:12:52.080 probably either maybe Okada or maybe Shinskey Nakamura if they 0:12:52.080 --> 0:12:55.080 can get that done, and that is not an impossibility, 0:12:55.520 --> 0:12:59.240 so we'll see what happens. We've also got Saya Kamatani 0:12:59.400 --> 0:13:02.720 against Su in a winner take all match. New Japan 0:13:02.800 --> 0:13:07.080 Strong Women's title and IWGP Women's title. Both of those 0:13:07.120 --> 0:13:10.000 are on the line, and Tanahashi did do a press 0:13:10.040 --> 0:13:13.679 conference and he did not announce his opponent, but they 0:13:13.720 --> 0:13:19.560 did announce that after selling twenty thousand tickets when they 0:13:19.600 --> 0:13:22.920 went on sale on October first for the Tokyo Dome, 0:13:23.480 --> 0:13:26.560 they are now at thirty one thousand, five hundred and 0:13:26.600 --> 0:13:32.560 forty eight and Tanahashi said, I've heard it's the fastest 0:13:32.600 --> 0:13:35.760 selling event in history. I've never seen such an incredibly 0:13:35.800 --> 0:13:38.400 sold out venue in my career. There's a chance I 0:13:38.480 --> 0:13:40.720 might be able to see that again. I'm a little 0:13:40.800 --> 0:13:43.360 sad it's my retirement match. This will be the very 0:13:43.440 --> 0:13:47.040 last match of my career. I'll be reaching twenty six years. 0:13:47.520 --> 0:13:49.400 I want to make sure I leave behind one thing 0:13:50.000 --> 0:13:53.720 that I have not yet accomplished. They have not sold 0:13:54.720 --> 0:14:00.960 thirty thousand tickets since before the pandemic. Night one of 0:14:01.240 --> 0:14:05.520 Russell Kingdom fourteen did forty thousand fans. Night two did 0:14:05.559 --> 0:14:09.480 thirty thousand, and then Russell Kingdom nineteen and January did 0:14:09.559 --> 0:14:12.840 twenty four thousand, down from twenty seven thousand to twenty 0:14:12.840 --> 0:14:15.960 twenty four and twenty six twenty twenty three. So whatever 0:14:16.000 --> 0:14:18.240 they set it up for, I'm gonna sell out the 0:14:18.280 --> 0:14:22.120 Tokyo Dome and uh, you know, to sell out the 0:14:22.120 --> 0:14:26.680 Tokyo Doome for Tanahashi's last match and also presumably crown 0:14:26.880 --> 0:14:31.200 Yodasuji the NEWIWGP champion and get Aarin Wolf's career off 0:14:31.240 --> 0:14:34.120 to a hot start. I mean, this is all great 0:14:34.160 --> 0:14:37.080 news for New Japan. So they've been kind of in 0:14:37.120 --> 0:14:41.640 a lull of late, sort of a kind of overall 0:14:41.720 --> 0:14:44.720 lack of interest compared to the past. But maybe they 0:14:44.760 --> 0:14:47.400 can start to turn everything around here. We shall see. 0:14:48.080 --> 0:14:51.800 But that's the lineup for the show. When we come 0:14:51.800 --> 0:14:53.520 back from the break, I should will talk about it now. 0:14:53.680 --> 0:14:58.320 Cody did an interview. He's talking about injuries, and he 0:14:58.360 --> 0:15:00.640 made a good point that I had not thought about, 0:15:01.880 --> 0:15:05.640 which is the match was Seth rawlins at Helen a Cell. 0:15:06.520 --> 0:15:08.800 He had a completely torn pack and it was an 0:15:08.840 --> 0:15:12.560 incredible pain. And then they did the match about a 0:15:12.560 --> 0:15:19.200 month ago and Seth apparently tore his rotator cuff and 0:15:19.240 --> 0:15:22.080 basically Cody said, we don't need to wrestle ever again. 0:15:23.280 --> 0:15:26.160 He lost his shoulder. That was the first major injury 0:15:26.200 --> 0:15:28.240 I've ever had. I was glad to be in the 0:15:28.320 --> 0:15:31.560 ring with him that night. It was special, But we 0:15:31.640 --> 0:15:33.920 don't need to do this anymore. Eddie's probably right. 0:15:34.240 --> 0:15:36.880 It's like Matt Hardy and Samy Guevara. 0:15:37.560 --> 0:15:41.040 Basically, yeah, I'll talk more about these injuries after the 0:15:41.080 --> 0:15:48.680 break Observer Life. 0:15:51.400 --> 0:15:54.880 You were listening to Wrestling Observer Live with Brian Alvarez 0:15:54.920 --> 0:15:58.640 and Mike semperviv on the Sports Byline Broadcasting Network. 0:16:00.160 --> 0:16:03.280 So coding this interview talked about when he was heading 0:16:03.320 --> 0:16:06.640 into Hell in a cell. He said there was a 0:16:06.760 --> 0:16:12.920 drug free policy. Ine wwe very adamant. There's no substance 0:16:12.920 --> 0:16:14.080 abuse in this company anymore. 0:16:14.120 --> 0:16:14.640 None. 0:16:14.880 --> 0:16:16.560 The eighties are over. We got to be healthy, We 0:16:16.640 --> 0:16:18.880 got to be clean. So people ask all the time 0:16:18.880 --> 0:16:20.640 if I any pain medication or anything. 0:16:20.360 --> 0:16:20.960 Of that nature. 0:16:21.400 --> 0:16:23.440 I had four baby aspirn because they didn't even have 0:16:23.520 --> 0:16:24.440 a regular advil. 0:16:25.560 --> 0:16:26.160 I remember the. 0:16:26.160 --> 0:16:28.840 Time being told, Hey, if you're in pain, we're gonna 0:16:28.880 --> 0:16:31.440 stop it. There's nothing to prove here. I'm walking the 0:16:31.440 --> 0:16:33.680 tight rope the whole match. Not sure if they're just 0:16:33.720 --> 0:16:35.560 going to ring the bell, but Seth was a perfect 0:16:35.560 --> 0:16:37.600 person to be in there with. Crazy thing about this 0:16:37.640 --> 0:16:39.920 photo is Seth rolls. I recently wrestled a Crown jewel 0:16:39.920 --> 0:16:45.520 and Seth finally beat me. And so first time anyone's 0:16:45.560 --> 0:16:48.080 ever said this, He says, I want to say he 0:16:48.160 --> 0:16:51.840 tore his rotator cuff. We don't have an actual answer 0:16:51.880 --> 0:16:54.280 on what's with Seth. I know he's got under the knife, 0:16:54.280 --> 0:16:58.120 got surgery, so at this point real not real. Have 0:16:58.240 --> 0:16:59.760 you look at the industry? Him and I are not. 0:16:59.680 --> 0:17:00.560 Good for each other. 0:17:01.480 --> 0:17:04.679 So apparently a torn rotator cuff. You know, it was 0:17:04.760 --> 0:17:07.680 never made public what Set's exact injury was other than 0:17:07.720 --> 0:17:08.320 his shoulder. 0:17:09.080 --> 0:17:11.440 So he's out of action for quite a. 0:17:11.359 --> 0:17:15.000 While with that injury, one way or the other. And 0:17:16.680 --> 0:17:18.440 he said, we don't power through anymore. 0:17:19.040 --> 0:17:19.280 Helen. 0:17:19.359 --> 0:17:21.240 His sell might have been the very last example of hey, 0:17:21.280 --> 0:17:25.280 let's power through. You just have more athlete conscious people today. 0:17:26.040 --> 0:17:28.480 So that's the story. What do you have to say 0:17:28.480 --> 0:17:28.920 about that. 0:17:29.359 --> 0:17:33.919 Well, you also have guaranteed contracts now where back in 0:17:34.040 --> 0:17:36.480 the day, guys didn't get paid if they didn't work, 0:17:36.560 --> 0:17:40.320 so they hid injuries and use drugs, and it is 0:17:40.359 --> 0:17:43.200 certainly a far better system for all involved. Now. 0:17:44.840 --> 0:17:48.920 Cody also said that his last or his next WWE 0:17:49.040 --> 0:17:52.920 contract is probably going to be his last. He says 0:17:54.320 --> 0:17:56.359 he has a four year old and an eight week old, 0:17:57.119 --> 0:17:59.359 and you can only go so long. I think I 0:17:59.400 --> 0:18:01.000 know my number where I'd like to get with this. 0:18:01.359 --> 0:18:03.080 I was lucky that my dad, who I thought was 0:18:03.080 --> 0:18:05.280 the best dad ever, he was out of the game. 0:18:05.520 --> 0:18:07.520 He was in it as a producer, in it as 0:18:07.560 --> 0:18:10.160 a creator, popping here as an old man wrestler every 0:18:10.200 --> 0:18:11.800 now and then, but he was out of the game. 0:18:11.840 --> 0:18:14.640 So he was number one dad at every game. Coach 0:18:14.680 --> 0:18:17.560 our football team. He's known in Cobb County as coach 0:18:17.720 --> 0:18:20.080 more than the American dream. I'd like to make it 0:18:20.240 --> 0:18:21.919 by the time I hit that age, and I'm not 0:18:22.000 --> 0:18:25.840 gone that often, or I can't really walk around that much, 0:18:26.040 --> 0:18:32.399 so he'll be uh. I guess forty this year, forty 0:18:32.440 --> 0:18:34.800 five and twenty thirty, and. 0:18:35.359 --> 0:18:38.280 He can still sign another five year contract and yeah, 0:18:38.440 --> 0:18:41.680 wrap up a wealthy, happy and hopefully healthy man. 0:18:43.240 --> 0:18:45.960 So we talked to yesterday with Tom. We don't talk 0:18:46.000 --> 0:18:51.440 a lot of UFC here, but the alleged fixed fight 0:18:52.720 --> 0:19:01.919 with Isaac Dulgarian and Yadier del Valle on Saturday. The 0:19:01.960 --> 0:19:05.560 odds shifted dramatically enough in the hours prior to the matchup, 0:19:05.560 --> 0:19:09.760 the FBI and the promotions betting integrity partner both learned 0:19:09.760 --> 0:19:14.360 at UFC to betting irregularities as a rash of bets 0:19:14.640 --> 0:19:19.800 were placed on Dulgarian losing in the first round. They 0:19:19.840 --> 0:19:22.520 asked him and he said, nothing to it. Everything's finest 0:19:22.560 --> 0:19:24.439 on the level. He then proceeded to go in and 0:19:24.480 --> 0:19:27.920 lose in the first round after not fighting a choke 0:19:28.080 --> 0:19:33.800 at all. And I bring this up because this is 0:19:33.880 --> 0:19:36.840 like big news all over it. It's funny because on 0:19:36.920 --> 0:19:40.840 Saturday night Tom texted me and then some people were 0:19:40.840 --> 0:19:43.520 talking about it on Twitter like, oh my god, I 0:19:43.520 --> 0:19:47.280 think we just saw a fixed fight, and for some reason, 0:19:47.440 --> 0:19:51.800 like nobody was really talking about it. And then you know, 0:19:51.800 --> 0:19:53.840 we talked about on the show yesterday, and then Dave 0:19:53.840 --> 0:19:57.159 talked about an Observer Radio last night, and then today 0:19:57.280 --> 0:20:00.159 was the day where this is actually getting nash the 0:20:00.240 --> 0:20:04.159 headlines around the country that and I think part of 0:20:04.160 --> 0:20:08.360 it is also because this was also the day that 0:20:08.920 --> 0:20:11.359 some people started coming forward saying I've been offered money 0:20:11.359 --> 0:20:12.000 to fix a fight. 0:20:12.080 --> 0:20:14.600 I've been offered money to fix a fight, and so 0:20:15.760 --> 0:20:16.200 I think. 0:20:16.080 --> 0:20:20.439 There was only I forget was it was it, I 0:20:20.480 --> 0:20:23.680 forget who it was. In the nineties, there was there 0:20:23.720 --> 0:20:27.439 was one other fight that people believe one of the 0:20:27.440 --> 0:20:30.359 guys through the fight. But I mean, other than that, 0:20:30.440 --> 0:20:33.760 they've been you know, they've had a good run of 0:20:33.840 --> 0:20:40.280 non fixed fights and so well. 0:20:38.560 --> 0:20:42.680 Yeah, but now this one is. 0:20:44.160 --> 0:20:47.440 Nothing is more important to the integrity of our sport, 0:20:47.600 --> 0:20:51.000 said UFC, which is true, but it's just funny to 0:20:51.040 --> 0:20:56.640 read that line. The Survivor series theme song war Pigs. 0:20:57.880 --> 0:21:01.080 If you recall they promoted on television. I think it 0:21:01.119 --> 0:21:06.280 was on SmackDown. They were like, if you download this song, 0:21:06.600 --> 0:21:10.280 make sure you download the Judas Priest and Ozzy Osbourne version. 0:21:10.880 --> 0:21:12.920 I was like, that's kind of weird to specify that, 0:21:13.040 --> 0:21:16.960 But apparently the reason they're doing that is because all 0:21:17.040 --> 0:21:22.840 proceeds from the sale of the song will be going 0:21:23.240 --> 0:21:26.200 to charity. It's going to be donated to the Glenn 0:21:26.320 --> 0:21:31.119 Tipton Parkinson's Foundation, charity founded by the band's guitarist. Osborne 0:21:31.119 --> 0:21:34.080 was diagnosed with Parkinson's a twenty nineteen passed away in July. 0:21:34.920 --> 0:21:37.639 His Triple H said, Ozzy Osbourne's music has been a 0:21:37.640 --> 0:21:39.560 part of the soundtrack of my life. I was likely 0:21:39.560 --> 0:21:42.040 to be a fan eventually call him a friend. This year, 0:21:42.119 --> 0:21:45.840 all prophets from the sale of Ozzi Judas Priests version 0:21:45.840 --> 0:21:49.440 of Warpigs will be donated to the Glenn Tipton Parkinson's 0:21:49.480 --> 0:21:53.919 Foundation and Cure Parkinson support this iconic sound and. 0:21:53.840 --> 0:21:56.400 This great cause for Ozzy. 0:21:58.240 --> 0:22:02.840 The song was originally performed by Black Sabbath, has been 0:22:02.880 --> 0:22:05.160 the theme song for Survivor series since it was adopted 0:22:05.200 --> 0:22:10.080 the war games format in twenty twenty two. So this year, 0:22:10.600 --> 0:22:13.680 make sure you download the right one because it will 0:22:13.720 --> 0:22:17.080 help out a lot, you know, was it? 0:22:19.320 --> 0:22:21.920 Anyway? I'll talk about that later because I forgot House 0:22:21.960 --> 0:22:23.520 of Torture's Purge Night of Torture. 0:22:23.560 --> 0:22:25.200 You want to see a you ever wanted to see 0:22:25.240 --> 0:22:28.720 a show promoted by the House of Torture. It's like 0:22:28.760 --> 0:22:31.879 that old NWA pay per view or the NW pay perview. 0:22:31.880 --> 0:22:34.399 Remember the NW pay per view sold out? That was 0:22:34.440 --> 0:22:37.880 one of the freaking worst shows of all time, the 0:22:38.000 --> 0:22:41.480 NW pay per view. Yes, well, now the House of 0:22:41.560 --> 0:22:48.920 Torture is promoting Perge Night of Torture November nineteenth, Corkenhall 0:22:49.000 --> 0:22:53.040 and Tokyo lineup as Evil versus Shot Skywalker, Chase Owen's 0:22:53.080 --> 0:22:56.840 Bad Luck Falle and Kennamaru versus a Shi Masa Masato 0:22:56.880 --> 0:23:00.800 Tanaka a Kudo Hadaka and Dick Togo and Arina versus 0:23:00.840 --> 0:23:07.840 the Great sask at Hanzo House of Tortures. 0:23:07.960 --> 0:23:10.200 At least they'll have fans there. It wasn't sold out 0:23:10.400 --> 0:23:11.080 empty arena. 0:23:11.280 --> 0:23:14.280 No, I don't think so. I don't think so. I'm 0:23:14.280 --> 0:23:15.560 pretty sure they had fans there. 0:23:15.600 --> 0:23:17.920 I thought the nWo one was an empty arena one. 0:23:18.080 --> 0:23:19.200
