Speaker 7: What a calamity, a comedy of errors.
Speaker 1: So here here's the thing, everybody, I'm asking you. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna ask the listeners what to do because the uh
Speaker 1: the a W Show is in Portland, Okay, Dynamites in Portland.
Speaker 1: So here's here's the deal. We've got Mystico in Action,
Speaker 1: Techlan Queen Almanada, Tony Storm, and Julia Hart with Mercedes
Speaker 1: on commentary. Would you stop it? Fletcher and Anthony bowensdam
Speaker 1: Oh Cotton, Kenny doing a contract signing MJF Bobby and
Speaker 1: Shelton versus Mike Bailey, Kevin Knight and Commander and Will
Speaker 1: Osprey versus Swerve.
Speaker 2: All right, So like.
Speaker 1: I could do this show and then go okay, but
Speaker 1: I would have to I would have to reschedule Today's
Speaker 1: After Dark, which I feel bad about doing, and then
Speaker 1: the Observer Radio show would probably have to be tomorrow
Speaker 1: morning at nine am because I ain't getting back tonight.
Speaker 1: The thing is, it's a four hour show. If it
Speaker 1: were a two hour show, that'd be one thing. You know,
Speaker 1: i'd be out of there by seven o'clock. I'd be
Speaker 1: back in plenty of time. But it's a four hour show,
Speaker 1: so I'm not out of there till nine, and uh,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm not gonna get back until late. It'd
Speaker 1: be just like I would be. It's just what am
Speaker 1: I doing? You know what I'm saying? What am I doing?
Speaker 7: I think you should go? I know you do. I
Speaker 7: think you go. I think you send me like an
Speaker 7: AI prompt and I'll get on with Dave at four am.
Speaker 7: I'll do the show with him until six.
Speaker 1: You could host the show with Dave. I mean, you
Speaker 1: just have to connect the same way you connect here.
Speaker 1: Brandon says, don't go, it seems like a lot. Tony says,
Speaker 1: send Brian a private plane. I don't know. Man, Lance
Speaker 1: wants me to do after dark, pick up Jim Valley
Speaker 1: and go. Jim Valley's already there, He's already in Portland.
Speaker 1: He wasn't an idiot like me. Oh God, I'll think
Speaker 1: about it.
Speaker 7: Can you go and stop at Voodoo Donuts?
Speaker 6: For me?
Speaker 1: I could do anything, but I'd have to figure out
Speaker 1: how to do everything. How about I just get mad
Speaker 1: and then and then we'll see how I feel afterwards. Okay,
Speaker 1: all right, here's the thing. God, I did not like
Speaker 1: NXT last night. Did you watch that show?
Speaker 7: I did. I watched the whole thing. It's my duty.
Speaker 1: Hated it. I don't want to say. I shouldn't say
Speaker 1: I hated it. But but here's here's what's really irritating
Speaker 1: me about all of wrestling lately. Okay, yeah, I know everybody.
Speaker 1: It just hit me today, but it's it's irritating and
Speaker 1: it actually ties into tonight, so, uh, Tonight's four hours
Speaker 1: of dynamite. Tonight is also evolved, which I guess is
Speaker 1: on to b whatever that is. Yes, and and also
Speaker 1: there is an against all odds replay. They're they're app special.
Speaker 1: They just happen to be airing it for free YouTube,
Speaker 1: Facebook and Twitch at eight eastern tonight.
Speaker 7: Cool what a day?
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's there. There's a there's a three and a
Speaker 1: half hour whatever TNA show airing head to head with
Speaker 1: the four hour a W. And there's there's two b okay,
Speaker 1: so like, come on to b okay, hold on, don't
Speaker 1: even hold on. Oh, let me put it this way. Okay,
Speaker 1: let me put it this way. It actually doesn't bother
Speaker 1: me that these different promotions are counter programming against a W.
Speaker 7: Okay.
Speaker 1: That doesn't bother me, all right, because you know a
Speaker 1: W is I mean whatever. They're they're big, they're big kids.
Speaker 1: You know, no one, no one is not watching Dynamite tonight.
Speaker 1: If you're an a W fan, Okay, if you're like
Speaker 1: an ae W fan and you look at the AW
Speaker 1: lineup and you're like, oh my god, should I drive
Speaker 1: to Portland or not? If you're an AW fan, you
Speaker 1: aren't gonna suddenly go I'm gonna watch that TNA app
Speaker 1: special on YouTube You're not gonna do that.
Speaker 7: Okay.
Speaker 1: If you're an AW fan and you go, my god,
Speaker 1: will ospray and swerve strickling, You're not gonna suddenly go, hey,
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm not gonna watch. I'm gonna watch
Speaker 1: TWOB tonight. You're not gonna do that. Okay. So my
Speaker 1: point is, like, it's it's basically a waste of time. Okay,
Speaker 1: you're just you're not taking any viewers away from AW
Speaker 1: by doing this. But this is what actually bothers me. Okay.
Speaker 1: I really like NXT. Okay, It's got its ups and downs,
Speaker 1: no doubt about it. Okay, but I like the show.
Speaker 1: It's one of the shows that I look forward to
Speaker 1: every week. But for like the last three four weeks now, Golley,
Speaker 1: g Willakers, I'm freaking sick of Evolve, like everything, it's
Speaker 1: all over the show now, Okay, Golley, we had I
Speaker 1: can't even remember her name. For the love of God,
Speaker 1: Lane Reid.
Speaker 7: Who he let me say something about Laney Reid. She's
Speaker 7: a damn good athlete, yes she is, you could tell,
Speaker 7: but God bless her.
Speaker 1: But like, who in God's name is Laney Reid? She
Speaker 1: just showed up totally out of random last week, and
Speaker 1: they're like, there's evolves Laney Reid.
Speaker 7: You know who she is, Brian, She's the sassy Southern bell.
Speaker 1: So then she shows up this week and they put
Speaker 1: her in a in a title match. She's a title
Speaker 1: match on television with j C.
Speaker 5: Jane.
Speaker 1: And then we've got this LFG bloke. God bless the guy,
Speaker 1: this big Jasper Troy, who like, Golly, I mean I
Speaker 1: understand that, like when you hear a name over and
Speaker 1: over and over and over and over and over and
Speaker 1: over again, you kind of stop thinking about it. That's
Speaker 1: a theory, but it didn't work with Katana Chance. That
Speaker 1: name sucked for life, Okay, And Jasper Troy is the
Speaker 1: dumbest name. Jasper. Wow, Troy, it'd be one thing if
Speaker 1: he were Troy Jasper, that'd be better. Jasper Troy. This
Speaker 1: guy saddled with the worst name.
Speaker 7: Brother, you gotta get you gotta get out to the Northwest,
Speaker 7: you gotta get out of the Pacific Northwest.
Speaker 1: So Jasper Jasper Troy. Now this guy comes out of nowhere.
Speaker 1: He's doing a main event with Obafemi.
Speaker 7: Okay, he's no, no, no, he hasn't been he didn't
Speaker 7: come out of nowhere, Brian. He's been on TV for
Speaker 7: weeks and weeks, like three or four weeks.
Speaker 1: No, it hasn't been three or four weeks. He's maybe
Speaker 1: been shown in a back they showed a clip from LFG.
Speaker 1: He's been shown in a backstage segment. It's been at
Speaker 1: last three weeks. Now he's headlining the show. It's another guy.
Speaker 1: It's like, who is Jasper Troy? Guys, nobody watched LFG?
Speaker 1: Did you get the ratings for that show? I mean
Speaker 1: under like it was like eighty thousand people were watching
Speaker 1: that every week?
Speaker 7: What was it on?
Speaker 1: I can sit here and rant about like the Return
Speaker 1: of Our Truth. It'll get eight thousand people on YouTube maybe.
Speaker 1: But the point is, dude, NXT is all. We gotta
Speaker 1: get people watching Evolve. We gotta get people watching Evolve.
Speaker 1: We gotta get people watching. Like, dude, I just want
Speaker 1: to watch NXT if you want to bring in Jasper
Speaker 1: Troy because he's a big dude and he's got some
Speaker 1: talent and you want to put him on the roster
Speaker 1: and he becomes a regular guy, and that's fine, Like
Speaker 1: do that, but the show is now all about, Hey,
Speaker 1: you gotta watch next season of LFG. Here's an LFG
Speaker 1: guy in a match. Hey, you need to watch Evolve
Speaker 1: on Wednesdays. Here's the match. And by the way, you
Speaker 1: also have to watch TNA. So like, here's some tn
Speaker 1: A guy. I'm like, dude, can I just watch the
Speaker 1: actual show? Is that too much to ask?
Speaker 7: You must also watch Triple A and Triple A and
Speaker 7: ww ID, which yes, is separate then Evolve.
Speaker 1: I just want to watch NXT, that's all. If I
Speaker 1: wanted to watch Evolve, I'd watch Evolve. If I wanted
Speaker 1: to watch LFG, I'd watch LFG. If I wanted to
Speaker 1: watch Impact, I do watch Impact. I try. But like, dude,
Speaker 1: I'm not even watching NXT anymore. I'm just watching all
Speaker 1: these other shows? Am I the only one? I should
Speaker 1: just drive to Portland and get out of here now
Speaker 1: I'll be back Observer Live.
Speaker 2: You are listening to Wrestling Observer Life with Brian Alvarez
Speaker 2: and Mike Simper Vivi on the Sports Byline Broadcasting Network.
Speaker 1: All these things, this, that the other. Now, Dave's all
Speaker 1: right doing the show at nine am tomorrow. That opens
Speaker 1: that door. But then someone from jiu Jitsu just messaged
Speaker 1: a happy birthday and asked if I'm teaching tonight. Then
Speaker 1: we got Lance here telling me he likes Jasper Troy.
Speaker 1: He says, have you forgotten Husky Harrison Michael McGillicuddy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that they'll suck too. That doesn't mean Jasper Troy's any
Speaker 1: good God, you know, Jasper Troy's real name is.
Speaker 7: No Bart.
Speaker 1: He's actually got like a cool name, Antoine Frasier. That's
Speaker 1: miles better than Jasper Troy. Miles. And then they changed.
Speaker 1: You know, it's funny of all the names. I don't
Speaker 1: even mind at all. They change from Mariah May's name,
Speaker 1: She's now Blake Monroe, which the Blake thing's a little
Speaker 1: weird because everybody just remembers Wesley Blake, which was also
Speaker 1: a terrible name, by the way, Blake Christian, Blake Christian. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I mean obviously they're they're trying to. I mean,
Speaker 1: she's supposed to be Marilyn Monroe. I mean, hello, some
Speaker 1: of you not know anything about anything. I mean, people
Speaker 1: are like, oh, the audio died again. See I just
Speaker 1: need to leave. I just need to get out of here.
Speaker 1: Are we back? Nope, he's got to reboot everything again. Yep,
Speaker 1: Well you know when he comes back, I'm gonna tell
Speaker 1: him what to do.
Speaker 7: Who.
Speaker 1: I don't care if you guys can't hear me. You
Speaker 1: see that.
Speaker 7: Who's got to redo what?
Speaker 1: Sun Cast needs to just reboot the whole thing? Yeah, Oh,
Speaker 1: Cyrus Griffin, Yeah, that's another one. We audio audio reac.
Speaker 7: That name's worse than Jasper Troy.
Speaker 1: Ohsyrus Griffin. Yeah, see, I I don't think so well,
Speaker 1: you're wrong. I mean, it's it's not like it's a
Speaker 1: good name, but he's he's Egyptian and he's it's it's
Speaker 1: I gotta text this guy. He's can't hear me, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna read Yeah, this dead air. Okay, but you know
Speaker 1: what doesn't matter because everyone on Sports Byline broadcasting can
Speaker 1: hear me, right yeah, switch over to Sports Byline for
Speaker 1: audio people. He's gonna he's gonna reboot this whole thing
Speaker 1: and we're just gonna start all over again. All right,
Speaker 1: what are you writing down there? Am I still ranting
Speaker 1: about names? So Maria May Mariah May has got a
Speaker 1: new name. It's Blake Monroe. Obviously, Like everybody's like, oh,
Speaker 1: they're stealing the gimmick from timeless Tony. Well, they kind
Speaker 1: of are in the sense that, you know, she's an
Speaker 1: old silent movie bombshell, that's that's what they're doing. But
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's she's supposed to be Marilyn Monroe.
Speaker 1: She's Blake Monroe. She did the gimmick in the in
Speaker 1: the bathtub. You know, they did a total sixties you
Speaker 1: know whatever, even though she was dead by then. So
Speaker 1: that's that's the idea is here.
Speaker 7: This was actually a like inspired by Sabrina Carpenter, almost
Speaker 7: frame for frame.
Speaker 1: Well a little bit, but I mean the Monroe is
Speaker 1: obviously from Marilyn Monroe.
Speaker 7: Yes, why not scope Mariah Monroe.
Speaker 1: They could have done Maria Monroe. Apparently she's got a
Speaker 1: little niece. Lance says, with the luck you were having,
Speaker 1: do not get on the highway. That's probably a good point.
Speaker 1: That's probably a good point.
Speaker 7: Why is Lance such a hater?
Speaker 1: He's not a hater. He's being friendly. He's trying to
Speaker 1: keep me from dying on the last day of my forties.
Speaker 7: God, that's not what's happening. Oh my god? Is it really? Yeah,
Speaker 7: you're forty nine.
Speaker 1: I did my last hold on what I did my
Speaker 1: last workout in my forties about an hour and a
Speaker 1: half ago. Where have you been, dude? I'm fifty tomorrow. Wow,
Speaker 1: that's crazy freaking fifty.
Speaker 7: That is amazing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, now everyone acts like they don't know how old
Speaker 1: I am. You guys are all idiots. Colley, good thing.
Speaker 1: There's like nothing to talk about here today. Do you realize,
Speaker 1: literally there's no other news to talk about unless we
Speaker 1: want to talk about raw ratings. There's literally nothing else
Speaker 1: to talk about.
Speaker 7: Really.
Speaker 1: I mean, I could talk about the whole NXT review,
Speaker 1: but I'm I'm do I really need to get more angry?
Speaker 7: Well, they've added a steel cage stipulation to the main
Speaker 7: event of Triple Mania this upcoming weekend.
Speaker 1: So that's something this guy tells me I should give
Speaker 1: my senior discounts. I swear to god. I went to
Speaker 1: the mailbox the other day and I had a AARP card.
Speaker 1: Swear to God, they sent it to me. I'm like, God,
Speaker 1: But then I can't actually use the card unless I,
Speaker 1: like subscribe to the AARP magazine or whatever. Can you
Speaker 1: believe it? Ancient? Should I just kill time until we
Speaker 1: get the video back? Or should I just like act
Speaker 1: like we're on the radio.
Speaker 7: Brian, did you see what WW vault put up yesterday?
Speaker 1: What my first matches?
Speaker 6: No?
Speaker 7: Ten minutes of furface?
Speaker 6: What?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 1: Who's furface? Oh?
Speaker 7: We're back.
Speaker 1: I don't know if we have audio still? Do we
Speaker 1: have audio? That was good?
Speaker 7: Fur face apparently was.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna plug something to plug it back in, brutus.
Speaker 7: The barber Beefcake doing run ends.
Speaker 6: In a.
Speaker 7: Costume with a furry face essentially didn't look too much
Speaker 7: for from that bloke that was on the Old Christmas
Speaker 7: Show a few years ago in the furry costume, to
Speaker 7: be fair, and then he also did a few run
Speaker 7: ins where he was dressed as a mariner.
Speaker 1: All right, I unplugged and plugged it back in. But
Speaker 1: I don't know if that did any good. Right there,
Speaker 1: let's see what he's got here. So now it doesn't
Speaker 1: even now, can't even find the scarlet?
Speaker 7: Was my audio preserved them?
Speaker 1: Is this good radio? Or is it sucked? You're on
Speaker 1: the radio, both silently laughing. What happened?
Speaker 7: Oh my god? I thought we weren't even on the radio.
Speaker 1: No, we're on the radio the whole time. Oh boy, yeah,
Speaker 1: Lance is yelling at me. You're on the radio. Do
Speaker 1: a radio show. Now, it's a it's a combo show.
Speaker 1: I don't we might not just be streaming today, which
Speaker 1: by the way, suggests I should skip after dark because
Speaker 1: like we can't get the video working. Well, look at that,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 7: Oh no, We'll starting to come together now.
Speaker 1: The scarlet is broken. It's just not working.
Speaker 7: Brian. There was a new number one contender crowned to
Speaker 7: a WWE title today.
Speaker 1: Why don't you tell everybody about it. I'll be right back. Yeah.
Speaker 7: The Speed Tournament continues on as it always does, in perpetuity,
Speaker 7: I believe would be the term. Today, a new number
Speaker 7: one contender was crowned for the champion, who happens to
Speaker 7: be El Grande Americano and who will be challenging him
Speaker 7: for that title none other than Legato Dell Phantasma's own Bartow,
Speaker 7: who defeated Noam Darr in the semi finals. In the
Speaker 7: round previous to that, he defeated Kit Wilson of Pretty Deadly,
Speaker 7: while Noam Dar defeated Lexus King, I believe, in a
Speaker 7: match that was put together last second because of an
Speaker 7: injury to Joaquin Wilde. We have not seen back since then,
Speaker 7: so best wishes to him. But Berto.
Speaker 1: I already was knocked out for a long time.
Speaker 7: Yeah, not good.
Speaker 1: He did like a I think he did like a
Speaker 1: four fifty or six forty year. He did something crazy
Speaker 1: and he he didn't rotate right and landed on his
Speaker 1: head and he was out. So whatever it was, it
Speaker 1: was not Lexis King's fault. He missed times something that
Speaker 1: he did on his own.
Speaker 7: And Berto also also wins this tournament and will be
Speaker 7: in action this Sunday at the aforementioned Triple A Triple
Speaker 7: Mania as he will team with Angel and they will
Speaker 7: challenge the champions Sanson and Forrest Terow. And not only
Speaker 7: will they challenge them, but also two other teams Nick
Speaker 7: and Ryan Nemeth and our boys Brian Psycho Clown and Pegano.
Speaker 1: Man, they're gonna go all the way with this old Pegana,
Speaker 1: aren't they.
Speaker 7: Why not?
Speaker 1: How come he didn't get his over as uh, mister Iguana,
Speaker 1: guys wants some mister Iguana scoops.
Speaker 7: Missed. Mister Iguana is a he's a little bit of
Speaker 7: a you know.
Speaker 1: Well, mister Iguana did an interview. This was actually a
Speaker 1: while ago, but came back up recently. He came up
Speaker 1: with the idea for the mister Iguana character while on
Speaker 1: an LSD trip in his twenties. Actually, I think when
Speaker 1: he was twenty he then, uh, you know, came up
Speaker 1: with his character. And I think he was originally going
Speaker 1: to be you know, the the translations back and forth.
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm missing something. I believe he was originally going
Speaker 1: to be a lot iguana marijuana, the marijuana iguana. And
Speaker 1: then he realized that if you take marijuana, which apparently
Speaker 1: I guess in in in uh in Mexico, marijuana and
Speaker 1: maragua marijuana mariguana are interchangeable. So he really so they
Speaker 1: keep smelling with an H or a G. So you
Speaker 1: realize if you take the A out of marijuana, you
Speaker 1: got mister iguana. And so uh, that's what that's how
Speaker 1: he got that. He originally just painted the front of
Speaker 1: his face, but it was I guess Conan that told

Speaker 2: You are listening to Wrestling Observer Live with Brian Alvarez
Speaker 2: and Mike Simpervivi on the Sports Byline Broadcasting Network.
Speaker 1: All right, let's see what I've got so far. Dave
Speaker 1: can do tomorrow, so that's handled after our guest is
Speaker 1: willing to switch, but I haven't. I haven't told her
Speaker 1: to it yet, So I'm up in the air about that.
Speaker 1: You know what I mean. I feel no matter what happens,
Speaker 1: I'm not doing my job one way or the other.
Speaker 1: It should be attending the show live. It's close, right,
Speaker 1: and then jiu jitsu. I'm actually not sure I can
Speaker 1: get it covered yet. So that's question mark. That may
Speaker 1: be the deciding factor. What el? What else? What are
Speaker 1: the other issues? Just having a real, really unlucky day.
Speaker 1: Should I really be driving?
Speaker 7: Is your car charge?
Speaker 1: It's ready to go? What does my heart tell me? God,
Speaker 1: my heart tells me they should be in Kent? I
Speaker 1: don't know, man, I'll think about it. Weighing a lot
Speaker 1: of different things right here? All right, what does he
Speaker 1: have to do with it? Let's quickly talk about this
Speaker 1: NXT show. I will say, you know, I should have
Speaker 1: just watched the opener and then shut the rest of
Speaker 1: the show off Ethan Page and Sean Legacy was great.
Speaker 1: Ethan Page can have a good match with anybody. Sean
Speaker 1: Legacy was great. They freaking worked a headlock. You understand,
Speaker 1: they worked a headlock early where Ethan put him in
Speaker 1: a headlock and he wouldn't let go, and the fans
Speaker 1: started to get mad. They started to boo the headlock,
Speaker 1: and so he held the headlock longer and then they
Speaker 1: got really mad, and then Shawn Legacy escaped and he
Speaker 1: grabbed a headlock and they popped. I was like, this
Speaker 1: is already the best match of it. And then they
Speaker 1: you know, did a buttu really cool moves and everything,
Speaker 1: and then uh, finally Page avoided a four fifty at
Speaker 1: the twist of fate pinned him clean. I mean it
Speaker 1: was This was a great, great TV match. Loved it.
Speaker 1: And then uh afterwards, Ricky Saints went after Ethan. I
Speaker 1: thought he'd be on the main roster by now, but
Speaker 1: apparently not. So that was kind of weird.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I thought that was bizarre, unexpected. The crowd didn't
Speaker 7: seem to know what to think either. It wasn't like
Speaker 7: you got a huge pop.
Speaker 1: Well, it's weird because they feuded and then it was
Speaker 1: like it was over, and then the feud just is continuing.
Speaker 1: So I thought they were ending the feud to get
Speaker 1: him out of here, but apparently they're not. I don't think.
Speaker 1: I don't know so, but that was a great opening segment.
Speaker 1: Then we had the j. C. Jane gimmick where Laney
Speaker 1: Reid showed up. I may not have anyone to cover tonight,
Speaker 1: so it's not looking good. Yeah, one more person, then
Speaker 1: it's then it's me, Brother'll be here. Jacy Jane asked
Speaker 1: Ave about the UH news signing this Laney read See
Speaker 1: she's like Jesson's just like the rest of us. Who
Speaker 1: is this woman? No clue? And so UH Lady shows
Speaker 1: up and she slaps Jace across the face, slaps her
Speaker 1: right in for an ava. He just stands there.
Speaker 7: Jace just stood there too.
Speaker 1: Well. Then jac says, you know what, I want to
Speaker 1: do it again. I want to do it tonight, cuts
Speaker 1: a promo on her. Lady slaps her a second time.
Speaker 1: It takes two slaps. Re evy to go, lady, you
Speaker 1: gotta get out of here, and she shuffles her away
Speaker 1: and then lady goes, I want that match sign it
Speaker 1: for tonight. Aby goes, all right, fine, I'm like, Ava,
Speaker 1: it's your job. Why does everybody always do your job
Speaker 1: for you? God? Then Soul and Zaria this was creepy.
Speaker 1: They're secretly filming the women's locker room. You can't do that.
Speaker 1: You can't do that. I don't care if you're that's
Speaker 1: not allowed. There was drama. Then we had a hilarious
Speaker 1: segment if you pay attention to the show. Last week
Speaker 1: is he Dame turned on the Virgin and hit him
Speaker 1: with a chair. The other two go why did you
Speaker 1: do that? And she said he's not committed to the culling,
Speaker 1: and they go, you're right, and like they were all
Speaker 1: on the same page. Well a week later they have
Speaker 1: a meeting and now Sean Spears goes, can you explain
Speaker 1: why you turned on the Virgin? Like I think guys
Speaker 1: were all on the same page last week. She goes, well,
Speaker 1: don't get mad at me, domb this is what she said.
Speaker 1: There's no room for half assed commitment in the culling.
Speaker 1: I was like, oh yeah, she said he didn't believe
Speaker 1: in us. We're supposed to believe in him. And so
Speaker 1: then Spears goes, you're brilliant.
Speaker 6: Like.
Speaker 1: That's the line for brilliance. Nowadays, it feels like they
Speaker 1: have shit an uncommitted virgin, which explains a lot by
Speaker 1: the way. So the driver thanks her for getting rid
Speaker 1: of this virgin, says it's a new beginning, and she
Speaker 1: says she's got her eye on something else.
Speaker 7: Yeah, Brian, it seemed like she is now the centerpiece
Speaker 7: of this group.
Speaker 1: No, I think it's I think it's Sean Staysiac.
Speaker 7: Excuse really, Sean Stasiac meat is back.
Speaker 1: Or Sean whatever? What did I say? Sean Spears certainly
Speaker 1: not yea PM. Didn't he record a locker room too?
Speaker 1: Oh boy, goll ye, my brain is working really weird.
Speaker 1: In my advanced age Colling versus Briggs and Ena Murah,
Speaker 1: I thought, you know, at this point, I thought, well,
Speaker 1: the Virgin hasn't been fired, so he's got to come
Speaker 1: back and help, you know, the Fornicator. But it didn't happen.
Speaker 1: I guess maybe they're building to it. They're building a
Speaker 1: tension with the Fornicator and the virgin, and so they
Speaker 1: got beat. Nico crotched Briggs and pinned him. There was
Speaker 1: totally dead for this finish.
Speaker 7: There was a little bit of miscommunication between Briggs and
Speaker 7: in a morea like a blind tag that kind of
Speaker 7: confused in AA, I.
Speaker 1: Know, But like the thing is Briggs and in a
Speaker 1: Muruah are like a great team that the people love
Speaker 1: and they don't care a bit about the driver Nico Vans,
Speaker 1: And when he pinned the Fornicator, they were just like,
Speaker 1: oh well, let's get some evolved guys.
Speaker 7: Next he dominated the Fornicator.
Speaker 1: We had some backstage Oh yeah, Jasper beat up Oba
Speaker 1: before the show and they teased maybe Oba couldn't continue,
Speaker 1: but of course he did.
Speaker 7: More dangerous than any war zone on the planet, more
Speaker 7: more deadly than the Syrian border. Is that NXT parking lot.
Speaker 1: It's dangerous.
Speaker 7: You will get attacked.
Speaker 1: We had a Chase Use segment that was cool, the
Speaker 1: Mariah May deal She's now Blake mo in row. Then
Speaker 1: we had Lash Legend versus Ren Sinclair. This was not good.
Speaker 1: It's just they bought spots.
Speaker 7: I mean, watch the finish.
Speaker 1: Watch the finish.
Speaker 7: I will say, well, what is good is Lash Legend's
Speaker 7: new project pat Chickenhead remix theme cool?
Speaker 1: Yeah, woo woop. J C Jane versus Laney redm not
Speaker 1: good Laney at one point threw two head butts, and
Speaker 1: you know how he always used the term she missed
Speaker 1: by a mile? How many feet is a mile? Because
Speaker 1: I gotta make sure because it might actually have been
Speaker 1: a mile.
Speaker 7: Eighty feet?
Speaker 1: Okay, so she missed her by a half mile. She
Speaker 1: throws his head butt and like, she's as far away
Speaker 1: as I am from you right now. She misses by miles,
Speaker 1: multiple miles, and Jac he sells it. And then she
Speaker 1: throws another one. It's even farther away, and Jac sells
Speaker 1: that one too, and I'm like, listen, I'd rather you
Speaker 1: didn't do a clonking head butt, but maybe don't do
Speaker 1: a head butt at all if you got to be
Speaker 1: a mile away. So then they you know, she has
Speaker 1: good athleticism and everything, but she's not ready for the
Speaker 1: main roster. And then fallin distracted Laney Jce hit her
Speaker 1: big right hand, got the pin and uh. And then
Speaker 1: Avia comes out and she says, you've determined your first opponent.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna determine your next opponent. She signs, and I
Speaker 1: quote four singles matches for next week. The winners go
Speaker 1: into a four way and the winner gets a shot
Speaker 1: at evolution.
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know I heard your discussion with Dave about
Speaker 7: you know, these tournaments of multi person matches. I will say,
Speaker 7: at least in the case of like the Money in
Speaker 7: the Bank, they did multi person qualifiers, but Money in
Speaker 7: the Bank is a multi person match, right, you don't
Speaker 7: want to I think they did three ways. You don't
Speaker 7: want to have six people in every match. That's a
Speaker 7: little bit too much. But I think for something like that,
Speaker 7: it's fine what they're doing for the King of the Ring.
Speaker 7: And this tournament even is even worse when you think
Speaker 7: about it, is preposterous in no circumstance. But you have
Speaker 7: four people fight in order to determine who will compete
Speaker 7: in a one on one contest. Ridiculous.
Speaker 1: We had some segments to set up some matches next week,
Speaker 1: including a six person with Casey Navarro and aj Francis.
Speaker 1: Top Dolla is back in NXT. We had NQCC having
Speaker 1: a meeting. Now Old Tavion wants out as well, and
Speaker 1: Javon is kind of riling up Charlie. We had Tony
Speaker 1: d and Luca versus Tyson and Tyreek. This wasn't very good,
Speaker 1: but I did like the story at the end of
Speaker 1: the match. Like the story is that nobody trusts Luca,
Speaker 1: including the baby face Tony. He's not an idiot. He
Speaker 1: does not trust this guy, but Luca is insisting I've
Speaker 1: done nothing wrong. I'm on your side. So they do
Speaker 1: this match, and Tony doesn't trust him as a partner.
Speaker 1: Stax hits the ring with a crowbar. The crowbar falls
Speaker 1: on the mat. As Tony is beaten up, stacks Luca
Speaker 1: picks up the crowbar, and right then Tony turns around.
Speaker 1: He sees him with a crow bar. He gets all
Speaker 1: he gets tell furious about it, and then as he's screaming,
Speaker 1: he gets distracted and pinned and so each other. Lucas like, dude,
Speaker 1: I didn't do anything. I picked up the crowbar. I
Speaker 1: wasn't trying to attack you. But Tony doesn't trust him,
Speaker 1: so I like that finish. Oh now I did get
Speaker 1: somebody who can cover it. Trick. Trick, it is like
Speaker 1: a show long storyline. It's crazy.
Speaker 7: I can't wait for you to get to the garage
Speaker 7: and realize your car's not charged.
Speaker 1: It's plugged in right now. Trick then did a promo
Speaker 1: backstage setting up the match next week, and then we
Speaker 1: had Oba Femi and Jazz for Troy for the NXT title,
Speaker 1: and I don't know, man, Jasper is a good athlete
Speaker 1: too early, Yeah, he's not ready for TV. I couldn't
Speaker 1: call it a disaster in a lot of ways because
Speaker 1: they didn't work it out in advance. And you know,
Speaker 1: they told a decent story, which was that Oba's ribs
Speaker 1: were heard and Jasper kept working over the ribs and
Speaker 1: he's a big guy and they had a lot of
Speaker 1: heat and the people were really into it. But my god,
Speaker 1: I was ranting on Monday about this stupid goy. They
Speaker 1: did a spot on Monday where they're doing near fall
Speaker 1: boom in this four way but the men boom boom,
Speaker 1: near fall up down, blah blah blah. Dom tries to
Speaker 1: steal a pin with a crucivix and the road goes
Speaker 1: shoulder right down and just like the match died, Like
Speaker 1: it just came to a halt as this referee was
Speaker 1: being a hard ass about the shoulder being down. Well,
Speaker 1: this time they're doing this match and like you know,
Speaker 1: it's they made it through. We're at the very end.
Speaker 7: You could tell they are both sucking wind at this point.
Speaker 1: Oh but it's a pop up power bomb.
Speaker 7: No, no, he doesn't.
Speaker 1: Oh he's it's supposed to be a pop up power.
Speaker 7: You're supposed to but this one's like a pop up
Speaker 7: spine bus.
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter. You're killing the lead. He hits the move,
Speaker 1: the ref drops down one two. Jasper doesn't move and
Speaker 1: he stops, and the crowd goes what And the ref
Speaker 1: start going like this like the shoulders up, but it's not,
Speaker 1: and you see Jasper. Jasper's flat in his back and
Speaker 1: you just see him all of a sudden. He just
Speaker 1: looks at the ref like what are you doing? And
Speaker 1: then you look at Oba almost like I Am going
Speaker 1: to eat you. He is so angry, He's going to
Speaker 1: kill and eat this man and this this referee just
Speaker 1: stopped dude, And so time stands still. And then Abah's like,
Speaker 1: get up and he lifts his dude up and he
Speaker 1: throws him in a game. They just do the same
Speaker 1: move again, and now the ref counts. I'm like, oh
Speaker 1: my god, who.
Speaker 7: Do you think made the call?
Speaker 1: Dude? Whose ref was it?
Speaker 7: Did the ref get something in the earpiece and go like, hey,
Speaker 7: that look like cow dung him? Do it again?
Speaker 1: I can't figure out what was was Jasper supposed to
Speaker 1: kick out and forgot did someone call the audible to
Speaker 1: do it again? And the ref forgot to tell him
Speaker 1: and he just stopped counting. What was happening here? God,
Speaker 1: this show. I was so mad last night and then
Speaker 1: this guy's like, ah, never mind back in a moment.
Speaker 1: Observer Live here, mh.
Speaker 2: You are listening to wrestling Observer Live with Brian Alvarez
Speaker 2: and Mike SIMPERBVI on the Sports Byline Broadcasting Network.
Speaker 1: I didn't see there's a problem. Here's why I don't
Speaker 1: think I'm gonna go. I did heads or tails. I
Speaker 1: didn't like the answer.
Speaker 7: Why why'd you ask me to call it?
Speaker 1: You said what it was gonna be, You go tell
Speaker 1: I said what I ended up being. You said, call it, yeah,
Speaker 1: so call it heads or tails? Heads, I go tails.
Speaker 2: I stay.
Speaker 1: Calling call it heads, I go tails. I stay. Say it.
Speaker 7: Okay, say it heads, you go tails. You say no,
Speaker 7: pick one, you idiot, That's not how it works.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, say heads or tails?
Speaker 7: Heads?
Speaker 1: Okay, tails?
Speaker 7: What does it matter if I picked one or the other?
Speaker 1: Tails means I say, you moron. Golly you know. Here's
Speaker 1: the thing. Here's why I think I'm actually gonna stay
Speaker 1: because in order for this to work, nothing has to
Speaker 1: go wrong. Do you understand there has to be like
Speaker 1: no traffic on the way down, there has to be
Speaker 1: no traffic on the way back. I gotta be able
Speaker 1: to easily get in, easily get out of Portland. Like
Speaker 1: everything has to go perfectly for this to work. And
Speaker 1: have you listened to the show today? Like there's no chance, right,
Speaker 1: there's no chance this we'll go off without a hitch.
Speaker 7: You don't even know how a coin flip works. How
Speaker 7: are you gonna make it down to Portland?
Speaker 1: Well, I'm gonna sign off everybody, and I think there's
Speaker 1: a very good chance there's gonna be an after dark today.
Speaker 1: But if you listen to the show and it's a
Speaker 1: replay at two Pacific five eastern, you'll know I left.
Speaker 1: But I do plan to likely be there today. I'm
Speaker 1: just feeling like this is just gonna be a disaster
Speaker 1: if I go. You know what I mean? Do I
Speaker 1: really need a disaster on my last day of forties?
Speaker 1: Shouldn't I go into my fifties like relaxed and it no?
Speaker 7: You go out how you came in?
Speaker 1: God, we'll talk to you next time Wrestling Observer Live.
Speaker 1: You have been listening to the Wrestling Observer Daily podcast
Speaker 1: on the Eight Side Network
