Would you go to Haaii? 0:04:06.840 --> 0:04:12.360 Of course that's just silly question. Dynamite tonight, and we 0:04:12.400 --> 0:04:15.600 have got a lots announced for the program. We have 0:04:15.640 --> 0:04:19.640 an own Heart Foundation Men's tournament quarterfinal, Darby Allen versus 0:04:19.800 --> 0:04:23.880 Jeff Hardy. We have another quarterfinal, Adam Cole versus Dax Harwood. 0:04:23.920 --> 0:04:27.720 We have a women's quarterfinal, Tony Storm and Jamie Hayter. 0:04:28.279 --> 0:04:32.200 We have c M Punk and John Silver. We have 0:04:32.279 --> 0:04:35.279 Rookie Starks and Jungle Boy, Dan Housing and Tony nice 0:04:35.880 --> 0:04:38.039 m JF and Warlow. Have a contract signing and the 0:04:38.080 --> 0:04:44.760 revealing stipulation and the Jericho Appreciation Society victory speech, and uh, 0:04:44.800 --> 0:04:49.440 I got this this own Heart Tournament. And on n 0:04:49.600 --> 0:04:54.400 x T they had the Women's Breakout Tournament and I 0:04:54.480 --> 0:04:58.080 actually I had somebody there tell me, oh, man, we're 0:04:58.080 --> 0:05:00.279 gonna show up a W and I was like, no, 0:05:00.360 --> 0:05:04.360 you're not. And they didn't. And I will say, we'll 0:05:04.400 --> 0:05:06.000 go over all of the uh we'll go over a 0:05:06.080 --> 0:05:07.520 n x T two point out here in a while. 0:05:08.400 --> 0:05:13.400 But I mean, it's like it's so w W E. 0:05:13.400 --> 0:05:16.520 Even if all of the women in the Breakout Tournament, 0:05:16.600 --> 0:05:18.359 like all of them, even if every single one of 0:05:18.400 --> 0:05:21.000 them was better than every single woman in a W, 0:05:21.800 --> 0:05:24.080 it was still the thing that they do where you 0:05:24.120 --> 0:05:28.160 all have three minutes to do your matches. It's like 0:05:30.200 --> 0:05:35.039 just a nothing happening breakout tournament. You know, three minutes 0:05:35.279 --> 0:05:38.000 choreograph matches, I mean they were there was nothing on 0:05:38.040 --> 0:05:40.440 the show that was like you know you you you 0:05:40.480 --> 0:05:42.880 want to laugh, and you know, show all of the 0:05:42.920 --> 0:05:45.320 spots on bach. I mean there's nothing like that. They 0:05:45.360 --> 0:05:47.080 had Fit Finley there and he helped put all the 0:05:47.160 --> 0:05:52.560 matches together and you know, green people choreographed matches. I mean, 0:05:52.600 --> 0:05:57.280 they were all fine, but they were three minutes. And 0:05:57.480 --> 0:05:59.320 you're never gonna have a tournament that is gonna be 0:05:59.600 --> 0:06:03.000 credit really acclaimed and have people making comparisons to the 0:06:03.080 --> 0:06:07.240 Women's Own Heart Cup tournament when you give them three 0:06:07.560 --> 0:06:11.400 minutes for every single match on the show. So that's 0:06:11.520 --> 0:06:17.160 my overarching comparison there between these two companies to come 0:06:17.240 --> 0:06:19.560 busting through and give somebody a splash. The way you 0:06:19.680 --> 0:06:22.400 keep saying three minutes, that's what it is. I mean 0:06:22.480 --> 0:06:24.680 it's not. It's not like it's not even the women's 0:06:24.720 --> 0:06:28.080 breakout tournaments. Every tournament w w E does, it's like this, 0:06:28.360 --> 0:06:32.320 the quarterfinal matches or whatever, there are three minute matches. 0:06:32.440 --> 0:06:35.240 Somebody runs like, why are you bothering to do a 0:06:35.320 --> 0:06:38.560 tournament if you don't let people have full long good 0:06:38.680 --> 0:06:43.280 matches and then advance in said tournament. It's just like 0:06:43.360 --> 0:06:47.119 it's pointless, not true at all. Now you know everybody's age. 0:06:47.839 --> 0:06:50.240 We do know everybody's age. But then, you know, I 0:06:50.320 --> 0:06:53.320 think it's like that every you know, there were to breakout. 0:06:53.480 --> 0:06:54.880 I don't know how any breakouts. I think there were 0:06:54.880 --> 0:06:56.840 like two or something like that. But they do the 0:06:56.920 --> 0:06:59.320 matches and then one of the announcers I think it was, 0:06:59.480 --> 0:07:01.760 I don't know what what it was, but it's like 0:07:01.880 --> 0:07:04.320 so and so it's moving on to the quarterfinals, and 0:07:04.360 --> 0:07:06.920 then the other one goes actually it's the semifinals. Like 0:07:07.240 --> 0:07:14.440 we're already in the semifinals. Uh, this is just for 0:07:14.600 --> 0:07:16.600 rock Sy to win again, isn't it. That's what i'd 0:07:16.640 --> 0:07:19.920 like to know, you kid me, That's what i'd like 0:07:20.080 --> 0:07:21.760 to think. Well, i'd like to think so too. But 0:07:21.840 --> 0:07:26.720 let's look at the brackets here. We have lash legend 0:07:26.960 --> 0:07:32.000 on one side, legendary, yes, and then we have you know, 0:07:32.240 --> 0:07:34.760 the roar of the Tiger Oh Nikita. Nikita is on 0:07:34.800 --> 0:07:36.800 the other side. Only twenty two by the way, So 0:07:36.840 --> 0:07:38.560 if you guys don't think it's gonna go down to 0:07:38.640 --> 0:07:42.080 the same match again, I mean it might not but 0:07:42.520 --> 0:07:44.920 I am really going to do a best of seven. 0:07:45.080 --> 0:07:47.040 I am going to do it over fourteen weeks. I'm 0:07:47.120 --> 0:07:49.880 fully expecting that that's that's what the finals of this 0:07:50.040 --> 0:07:52.000 tournament are going to be, which, by the way, would 0:07:52.000 --> 0:07:54.400 mean that lash Legend beats rock Sy next year. Exact 0:07:55.000 --> 0:07:59.640 stop it. I hate to believe this. It is so weird, 0:07:59.800 --> 0:08:03.360 this show like flip flops like now here. You are 0:08:03.480 --> 0:08:06.040 expecting them to do the right thing, and I'm trying 0:08:06.080 --> 0:08:08.239 to be the voice of reason. I'd like to hope, 0:08:08.440 --> 0:08:10.440 but I don't expect. If I sat here and I 0:08:10.640 --> 0:08:11.960 if I had started the show and I said, you 0:08:12.040 --> 0:08:14.680 know what, next week, rock Cy is gonna beat lash Legend, 0:08:15.080 --> 0:08:17.480 you'd be like, brother, what are you talking about? You'd 0:08:17.520 --> 0:08:19.800 be trying to be the voice of reason. You know 0:08:20.040 --> 0:08:25.440 this more news and we'll get into the full review. 0:08:27.120 --> 0:08:29.640 We've got raw ratings from Monday, one point six five 0:08:29.760 --> 0:08:32.839 million viewers point four four. They went up against a 0:08:32.920 --> 0:08:36.160 bunch of NBA games eighteen to forty nine, second lowest 0:08:36.200 --> 0:08:38.640 number of the year. They were up a little bit 0:08:38.679 --> 0:08:41.959 in viewers, and uh, that's that. I don't know what 0:08:42.040 --> 0:08:43.880 else to tell you about it. It's just those are 0:08:43.880 --> 0:08:47.920 the numbers. New trademarks filed for a Ring of Honor. 0:08:48.000 --> 0:08:52.520 Did you see the new logo? No, you didn't know it? 0:08:52.640 --> 0:08:55.439 Right now? Here we go? Is pop TV still in 0:08:55.520 --> 0:08:59.360 business or something like that. It is a black and 0:08:59.440 --> 0:09:02.839 white low go that says r o h. That's not 0:09:03.000 --> 0:09:04.840 they can't be it. I know it's on the Website's 0:09:04.880 --> 0:09:06.840 on the front page of the Wrestling Observer dot com 0:09:07.120 --> 0:09:10.319 right now, And I'm looking at this and this was 0:09:10.440 --> 0:09:12.319 a logo that would air it in the corner of 0:09:12.360 --> 0:09:16.439 a MeTV show in nine before color it had to have. 0:09:17.840 --> 0:09:23.960 This was created on a Commodore sixty four. Hey listen, 0:09:24.360 --> 0:09:27.680 maybe maybe the idea of this Ring of Honor brand 0:09:28.400 --> 0:09:31.160 is is it's gonna be black and white. You're gonna 0:09:31.160 --> 0:09:33.959 have good guys and you're gonna have bad guys. It's 0:09:33.960 --> 0:09:38.120 gonna be simple, straightforward black and white pro wrestling. Which, 0:09:38.120 --> 0:09:42.000 if that's the case, perfect logo. If that's not the case, 0:09:42.240 --> 0:09:46.240 this is a very very generic, boring logo. But that 0:09:46.320 --> 0:09:50.280 apparently is being trademarked. And we'll see what they're gonna do. 0:09:50.480 --> 0:09:52.079 We don't know what they're gonna do with Are you 0:09:52.200 --> 0:09:55.760 looking at that thing right now? Does it even look 0:09:55.840 --> 0:09:58.559 like it's got sharp lines. If you look at it, 0:09:58.720 --> 0:10:04.959 it's like somebody, like a kid photo shopped it. Well, oh, 0:10:05.200 --> 0:10:07.679 it's like it looks like a warm tire or you know, 0:10:08.120 --> 0:10:10.400 somebody had nibbled on the outside of a donut kind 0:10:10.400 --> 0:10:13.760 of going around it. It just doesn't even look. Oh well, 0:10:14.240 --> 0:10:17.160 feedback we've gotten for this logo is not positive. If 0:10:17.200 --> 0:10:19.560 you think I'm being negative, I'm actually being positive compared 0:10:19.600 --> 0:10:23.040 to some of the feedback we've got right here. Maybe 0:10:23.080 --> 0:10:24.959 it'll grow on me. It's just looking at it the 0:10:25.000 --> 0:10:29.680 first time, it doesn't look It's just it doesn't. It doesn't. 0:10:29.720 --> 0:10:32.360 I honestly got it doesn't look real. Well this compared 0:10:32.400 --> 0:10:34.280 to where we are with logos, it doesn't look real. 0:10:34.400 --> 0:10:37.040 This Fellas says, well, listen, they're trademarking the logo, not 0:10:37.200 --> 0:10:40.040 the color, So relax because the logo is gonna be 0:10:40.080 --> 0:10:41.600 so much more exciting with a little bit of color. 0:10:41.640 --> 0:10:43.880 Why would you then put that out and just trade market? 0:10:43.960 --> 0:10:47.760 I don't, I don't know, why would you? Yeah, well, 0:10:47.880 --> 0:10:50.520 this person says, the last logo sucks, so anything is better. 0:10:51.360 --> 0:10:53.680 Color is not claimed as a feature of the logo. 0:10:54.600 --> 0:10:59.040 M right, what else do we got here no love 0:10:59.120 --> 0:11:03.160 for the Amiga r O. H new logo looks as 0:11:03.200 --> 0:11:09.920 dead as the company. Let me have gray in that logo. Well, 0:11:10.080 --> 0:11:12.400 you know what is gray? Gray is what white and black. 0:11:13.520 --> 0:11:16.040 I don't think this is the new logos. DJ says 0:11:16.120 --> 0:11:19.920 it's a mock up slash stand in. That's what it 0:11:19.960 --> 0:11:22.400 looks like. It's a sample. This person says, this is 0:11:22.480 --> 0:11:24.760 not the legit logo for ring about it. Hey, I 0:11:24.800 --> 0:11:27.280 don't know. All I know is what's on our front page. 0:11:27.440 --> 0:11:28.839 What do you want me to do about it? I 0:11:28.920 --> 0:11:31.439 didn't go to the trademark office. We'll see what the 0:11:31.480 --> 0:11:34.360 final logo looks like. But the one on the front 0:11:34.400 --> 0:11:39.240 page not flattering. It's not it's okay to say. Tony 0:11:39.280 --> 0:11:42.000 Constance he expects to run a W Grand Slam Dynamite 0:11:42.040 --> 0:11:46.679 and Rampage from Arthur Rash Stadium in two. He spoke 0:11:46.720 --> 0:11:49.720 to News twelve tow did the success of the first 0:11:49.800 --> 0:11:53.199 Grand Slam in his belief that the second show will 0:11:53.240 --> 0:11:56.240 take place later this year, and he says it was 0:11:56.240 --> 0:11:58.880 almost a million dollar gait in a W history just 0:11:59.000 --> 0:12:00.880 came shy of that, but it was real close. We 0:12:01.000 --> 0:12:03.679 will be back and I will hopefully there will be 0:12:03.720 --> 0:12:06.559 another huge success back at Queen's for a w D 0:12:06.679 --> 0:12:10.480 Grand Slam and later this year in again. Everyone's into 0:12:10.520 --> 0:12:14.280 these stadium shows, w w S doing stadium shows anyway. 0:12:14.320 --> 0:12:17.679 Back in the ball with everyone's favorite segment at x 0:12:17.760 --> 0:12:37.719 T two point oh Observer Live by the show. Brian 0:12:37.760 --> 0:12:39.959 Elbert is here Wrestling Observer Alive. I can't believe the 0:12:40.000 --> 0:12:42.120 blowback to talk about n x T two point ohs 0:12:42.160 --> 0:12:44.880 Sometimes the show was last night on national television for 0:12:44.960 --> 0:12:48.240 crying now loud and you it wasn't that bad. There 0:12:48.320 --> 0:12:52.839 were two kidnappings, which usually usually we're limited to one 0:12:53.000 --> 0:12:55.760 kidnapping every week, but this week we got to although 0:12:55.760 --> 0:12:58.800 it's got an attitude about this, I'll go back to 0:12:58.920 --> 0:13:00.800 doing the review in Brian won't be here for it, 0:13:00.840 --> 0:13:04.199 and then you're really gonna be sad, so deal with it. 0:13:04.480 --> 0:13:07.599 We had we had a recap from spring break in 0:13:08.440 --> 0:13:12.480 when braun Breaker won and then Druids kidnapped him, so 0:13:12.640 --> 0:13:15.800 technically there weren't two new kidnappings. This one's a kidnapping 0:13:15.840 --> 0:13:18.520 from last week. So he got carried off in a 0:13:19.320 --> 0:13:22.520 barbed wire stretcher and he's got a bag on his 0:13:22.600 --> 0:13:25.800 head and he's being tortured by Joe Gacy and then 0:13:26.080 --> 0:13:29.840 Joe Gacy shows up to do a a promo later 0:13:30.360 --> 0:13:34.280 and I have no idea where you know braun Breaker is, 0:13:34.800 --> 0:13:38.600 He's just missing, He's missing, and uh and that one 0:13:38.679 --> 0:13:43.000 guy that was with anyway, So we had J. C. 0:13:43.240 --> 0:13:46.880 Jane and G. G. Dolan versus Rock Sand Perez and 0:13:47.240 --> 0:13:51.880 Wendy Chew in a non title match and uh and 0:13:51.920 --> 0:13:54.040 the champions won. So I'm not quite sure why they 0:13:54.040 --> 0:13:57.199 couldn't have just done a championship match. But you know, 0:13:57.400 --> 0:14:00.720 Roxy is, you know, the best worker on this team. 0:14:00.800 --> 0:14:03.040 I wouldn't say by miles, because Wendy Chew is is 0:14:03.080 --> 0:14:07.360 pretty good as well, but Mandy Rose Uh is on 0:14:07.480 --> 0:14:10.760 the outside. She literally gets inside of the ring in 0:14:10.880 --> 0:14:13.280 front of the referee for a brawl. This is not 0:14:13.440 --> 0:14:17.160 a d Q. And then Dolan rolls up Perez and 0:14:17.320 --> 0:14:21.600 pins her and then they beat down and bully Wendy 0:14:21.760 --> 0:14:25.480 Chew afterwards. So the wrestling was the wrestling was fine. 0:14:26.240 --> 0:14:32.680 Finish was beyond far beyond preposterous brawling inside the ring 0:14:33.760 --> 0:14:37.120 not a d e Q. We had Tiffany Stratton and 0:14:37.240 --> 0:14:41.360 Grace and Waller are going shopping. I like this duo 0:14:41.920 --> 0:14:44.320 they're great grays and Waller and Tiffany Stratton are a 0:14:44.360 --> 0:14:47.720 great couple. And God knows we need couples because you know, 0:14:47.840 --> 0:14:51.400 two of the significant others just got fired. Creed Brothers 0:14:51.440 --> 0:14:55.080 are upset. Roderick strong interfeared last week. They have a 0:14:55.280 --> 0:14:58.880 rematch next week against the Viking Raiders. They vowed to 0:14:58.920 --> 0:15:02.600 do it right. Strong Than announces that he's got a 0:15:02.640 --> 0:15:07.840 new member of the Diamond Mine and it is Damon Kemp, 0:15:10.720 --> 0:15:14.080 whose name is He's like rattling off all of his 0:15:14.600 --> 0:15:19.080 his accolades and then he announces him as Damon Kemp, 0:15:20.160 --> 0:15:23.000 which is not his real name. This is the brother 0:15:23.160 --> 0:15:27.080 of Gable Stevenson. So you know, they could have used 0:15:27.160 --> 0:15:30.440 his actual name and promoted him as the brother of 0:15:30.600 --> 0:15:35.040 Olympian Gable Steveson. But no, he's Damon Kemp, who has 0:15:35.080 --> 0:15:38.680 done some wrestling, so he's been better for him. Run 0:15:38.760 --> 0:15:41.880 but we'll see. And we had the Joe Gaycey interviews. 0:15:41.960 --> 0:15:44.960 So the Druids apparently you're gonna be unveiled as some people, 0:15:45.000 --> 0:15:48.000 but I don't know who, and uh, I'll tell you 0:15:48.760 --> 0:15:51.480 who is it. One of them is gonna be braun Breaker. 0:15:52.800 --> 0:15:54.880 Well I know that, but I think that the idea 0:15:55.040 --> 0:15:56.720 is that these two guys are supposed to be new 0:15:56.840 --> 0:16:00.200 characters on the show, but I could be wrong. We 0:16:00.320 --> 0:16:03.720 had a skit the Ivy Nile Challenge, because we're all 0:16:03.720 --> 0:16:06.840 about strong young women on this show. And so she 0:16:08.040 --> 0:16:10.720 goes to the performance center and she's doing like all 0:16:10.800 --> 0:16:14.600 of this, you know, these exercises with these guys, and 0:16:15.160 --> 0:16:18.360 one by one they fall and so she is the 0:16:18.480 --> 0:16:22.760 last person standing, does burpes and waited pull ups and 0:16:22.800 --> 0:16:25.840 all of this stuff, and she's the She's the toughest 0:16:26.000 --> 0:16:29.400 person in the performance center. Is the is the storyline? 0:16:30.720 --> 0:16:37.160 Then we had the tournament matches. Fellon Henley against Sloan 0:16:37.400 --> 0:16:41.760 at Jacobs. It is impossible to say any of these 0:16:41.880 --> 0:16:46.400 names with a straight face. Fellon Henley one and about 0:16:47.320 --> 0:16:55.720 two minutes, and yes, uh, the virgin Brooks Jensen was 0:16:55.800 --> 0:16:58.920 in fact out there at ringside wearing a T shirt 0:16:59.280 --> 0:17:11.560 that read Virginity Rocks. It's yes, yes, and there's nothing 0:17:11.600 --> 0:17:16.240 wrong with that. There's nothing wrong with maintaining your virginity 0:17:16.359 --> 0:17:19.000 and until you're ready. I just if I was in 0:17:19.160 --> 0:17:23.399 my professional place of employment, being pro wrestling of all things, 0:17:23.960 --> 0:17:26.320 I don't know if I'm walking around in a Virginity 0:17:26.480 --> 0:17:29.600 Rock shirt. Even a C. Green didn't walk around in 0:17:29.640 --> 0:17:33.080 a Virginity Rock shirt. I don't think Team Tebow, No, 0:17:33.440 --> 0:17:36.560 he never did that either. You're kind of uh, the 0:17:36.640 --> 0:17:40.560 hell with it. We had a Santos Escobar skit with 0:17:41.720 --> 0:17:45.040 Tony D'Angelo. A J. Galante, of course, got kidnapped last 0:17:45.080 --> 0:17:49.239 week and literally Santos Escobar Aja Galante has never been 0:17:49.280 --> 0:17:52.680 seen again after he got kidnapped, and Santos Escobar flat 0:17:52.720 --> 0:17:56.520 out on national television suggests he'll never walk again. We 0:17:57.040 --> 0:18:01.640 smashed his legs beyond recognition, and so then Tony D'Angelo 0:18:01.640 --> 0:18:06.960 he tells uh del Toro Venicio del Toro to go 0:18:07.080 --> 0:18:10.320 and start the car. But Tony D'Angelo and his his 0:18:10.800 --> 0:18:15.159 his buddies attack the bull and they put him in 0:18:15.320 --> 0:18:20.600 the trunk. So now he we'll never walk again, or worse, 0:18:24.000 --> 0:18:29.320 elbow fire faced Amari Miller. They had about two minutes 0:18:30.280 --> 0:18:34.920 and she beat her and that was the match, or 0:18:35.040 --> 0:18:37.600 Jade is sitting up her inner or match with Nanny. 0:18:37.720 --> 0:18:41.040 Later then we had Solo Sakoa coming down to the 0:18:41.160 --> 0:18:43.720 ring and uh, God, bless this guy. He does not 0:18:43.880 --> 0:18:47.480 have the charisma of the USS. He's struggling his way 0:18:47.560 --> 0:18:50.600 through this interview, and Grimes comes out, he's a North 0:18:50.600 --> 0:18:53.919 American champion. Hayes and Williams come out and essentially at 0:18:53.960 --> 0:18:57.320 the next uh in your House whatever they call it, 0:18:57.480 --> 0:18:59.639 which they have not announced, but it's June four, they 0:18:59.680 --> 0:19:02.200 don't there to tell you that. On television, Uh, it 0:19:02.280 --> 0:19:07.119 will be Cameron Grimes defending the title against Carmelo Hayes, 0:19:07.600 --> 0:19:10.760 and Grimes has vowed if he wins solo, Sokoa will 0:19:10.800 --> 0:19:13.800 get the next shot. So that's your line up. Then 0:19:13.880 --> 0:19:17.440 we had a a I would actually call this a 0:19:17.600 --> 0:19:22.439 mini movie with Santos Escobar on the phone with Tony 0:19:22.480 --> 0:19:27.400 de'angelo and they're trying to negotiate the freedom of their 0:19:27.560 --> 0:19:31.880 respective partners, one of whom can no longer walk again apparently, 0:19:31.960 --> 0:19:34.040 and the other he may have been, you know, put 0:19:34.080 --> 0:19:36.720 through a wood chipper. We don't know. But here's what 0:19:36.760 --> 0:19:42.080 I'm gonna say about this. And I had I ha no, 0:19:42.400 --> 0:19:44.720 I thought it was actually pretty good. And and I 0:19:44.880 --> 0:19:47.359 hesitate to say this because I don't want to get 0:19:47.640 --> 0:19:50.639 you know, this is a weird company. Okay. I'm pretty 0:19:50.720 --> 0:19:54.320 sure that Jeremy Borash shot and produced all of these vignettes. 0:19:54.680 --> 0:19:57.520 I don't know for sure, but like you know, I'm 0:19:57.560 --> 0:19:59.960 pretty sure, and I don't want to. I I hesitate 0:20:00.000 --> 0:20:01.560 to put him over because I don't want to get fired. 0:20:02.040 --> 0:20:04.680 But like the production of these skits. Whatever you want 0:20:04.680 --> 0:20:06.680 to say about the acting or whatever, but like the 0:20:06.800 --> 0:20:12.920 production of these mini movies, it's like miles miles above anything. 0:20:13.000 --> 0:20:15.840 You'll get on raw or SmackDown on the main roster. 0:20:16.480 --> 0:20:19.040 And like in a normal company, he'd be like called 0:20:19.080 --> 0:20:20.720 up to the main roster to do this stuff there. 0:20:21.040 --> 0:20:22.760 But this is w W E. So you know, if 0:20:22.880 --> 0:20:24.280 I don't want to put him over too much because 0:20:24.320 --> 0:20:27.600 they may just fire him. But anyway, the production was very, 0:20:27.760 --> 0:20:31.080 very good, and I thought everybody played their roles well. 0:20:31.240 --> 0:20:34.080 I thought this was well done. I don't know what's 0:20:34.080 --> 0:20:36.439 going on, but I thought it was well done. Apparently 0:20:36.480 --> 0:20:40.159 they're gonna do like a switch or something. We had 0:20:40.200 --> 0:20:44.640 this poor Nathan Frasier, this bloke, Oh my lord, he's 0:20:44.720 --> 0:20:48.240 such a geek. His character is such a geek. And 0:20:48.560 --> 0:20:52.480 uh he's interrupted by Zion Quinn, who is a total jerk. 0:20:53.320 --> 0:20:55.760 And they're gonna have a match, and I think it's 0:20:55.760 --> 0:21:00.159 gonna be him and Zion quinnin Wesley first and then uh, 0:21:00.359 --> 0:21:03.080 and then you know Nathan Fraser next. They might, for 0:21:03.119 --> 0:21:05.760 all I know be putting Wesley and Nathan Fraser together. 0:21:06.040 --> 0:21:11.280 Is the new Msky, which Nathan Fraser so wacky that 0:21:11.400 --> 0:21:14.000 it actually I think would work. So I think this 0:21:14.040 --> 0:21:16.320 would be a good pairing. And look, we know West 0:21:16.359 --> 0:21:21.159 can cut of promo right now. Fraser can't, you know, 0:21:21.280 --> 0:21:24.120 at least believably come across, but he can move, that's 0:21:24.200 --> 0:21:26.800 one thing he can do. And those guys together, it 0:21:26.840 --> 0:21:29.040 would be fun, and they need teams anyway, be the 0:21:29.080 --> 0:21:31.399 best thing for him both, I think right now. Then 0:21:31.520 --> 0:21:34.760 we had Serai and Andre Chase versus Tiffany Stratton and 0:21:34.840 --> 0:21:37.000 Grays and Waller in the mixed tag. Dude, the fans 0:21:37.040 --> 0:21:39.720 were super into this match, and it was a fun match. 0:21:40.200 --> 0:21:42.080 And the best character in all of n x T 0:21:42.200 --> 0:21:46.160 two point oh by Miles is Body Hayward. This guy 0:21:46.280 --> 0:21:48.560 is awesome and he's got a great n x T name, 0:21:49.200 --> 0:21:53.240 and they had a fun match, and uh, bearing the 0:21:53.400 --> 0:21:56.359 lead of him coming out for the whole deal, well, 0:21:56.400 --> 0:21:58.040 we'll get to that after a while. It's gonna take 0:21:58.040 --> 0:22:00.440 a while. I want to finish this review, but anyway, 0:22:00.720 --> 0:22:04.760 say rolled up Stratton and got the wind and they 0:22:04.840 --> 0:22:06.879 called it an upset, even though I think Strengths had 0:22:06.960 --> 0:22:09.600 four matches in her entire career. And the fans went 0:22:09.680 --> 0:22:12.680 crazy for the finish and this was this was a 0:22:12.800 --> 0:22:17.200 fun segment. It commen gerro is back and he attacked 0:22:17.560 --> 0:22:20.919 von Wagner. So they're going to continue that storyline. Toxic 0:22:21.000 --> 0:22:24.520 Attraction played mean girls to pour Indie Heartwell, they can't 0:22:24.640 --> 0:22:28.280 say what happened other than her man is gone. And 0:22:28.359 --> 0:22:32.040 then of course you know they're talking about my man 0:22:32.119 --> 0:22:34.560 would never leave me. I only leave my men, and 0:22:34.640 --> 0:22:36.320 they call her a nerd and leave it everything that 0:22:37.040 --> 0:22:43.280 Nikita Lions beat Ariana Grace in three minutes and now 0:22:43.560 --> 0:22:47.760 Nikkia Lions will move on to face Fallon Henley in 0:22:47.840 --> 0:22:51.320 the next round. And that was that. Then the main 0:22:51.359 --> 0:22:55.359 event was Nattie and core Jade. So here's the whole feud. 0:22:57.040 --> 0:23:01.000 Core Jade and Natty do a promo. J is fawning 0:23:01.040 --> 0:23:04.400 all over she's the biggest mark for Natty. Natty puts 0:23:04.480 --> 0:23:07.720 over the locker room and everybody, and then she attacks 0:23:07.760 --> 0:23:11.159 and beats up core Ja because she's a heel. This 0:23:11.400 --> 0:23:13.520 leads to Natty doing a couple of matches and n 0:23:13.720 --> 0:23:16.359 x T and then out of the blue on social 0:23:16.440 --> 0:23:18.920 media announces, hey, we're doing Nati and core Jade this week. 0:23:19.680 --> 0:23:22.960 They do the match, it's a good match, and then 0:23:23.320 --> 0:23:26.960 Nattie beats her with the sharpshooter, and then when the 0:23:27.000 --> 0:23:29.920 match is over, Nattie turns the baby face and hugs 0:23:29.920 --> 0:23:31.520 her again, and I think she's out of here. So 0:23:31.640 --> 0:23:34.720 Cora Jade never even got a win over Natty. Although 0:23:34.760 --> 0:23:38.879 I will say Laid was a good match, core Jade 0:23:38.960 --> 0:23:42.080 is better after the match. I don't think it's the 0:23:42.160 --> 0:23:43.600 end of the world that Natty beat her in a 0:23:43.680 --> 0:23:46.720 really good match. Certainly, Cora j did not come out 0:23:46.720 --> 0:23:49.719 of this looking like a geek, so that's like an improvement. 0:23:50.440 --> 0:23:53.359 And uh, that was go to the show. So as 0:23:53.400 --> 0:23:55.520 far as n x T two point oh goes a 0:23:55.720 --> 0:23:58.440 much better show than usual. Back in a moment, was 0:23:58.440 --> 0:24:13.720 her alive the show? Bryn Elber is here Wrestling Observer Live. 0:24:13.840 --> 0:24:17.359 Mike simp Vid also Wrestling Observer dot Com. Dude, this 0:24:17.440 --> 0:24:20.320 body Hayward is gonna be a huge star. He is. 0:24:20.560 --> 0:24:22.520 Do you wanna know why? I don't know if he'll 0:24:22.560 --> 0:24:24.080 like be a main of Vennor, but he's gonna like 0:24:24.160 --> 0:24:25.440 make a lot of money for a long time in 0:24:25.640 --> 0:24:27.720 w w E because he's one of those guys. But 0:24:27.840 --> 0:24:29.639 it doesn't matter what you give him, he's gonna do it. 0:24:29.800 --> 0:24:33.720 He's gonna be great. Because they had the match last night. 0:24:34.080 --> 0:24:37.400
