Speaker 1: Now your mate Events introducing Ghosts. I'm Wrestling with Freddy
Speaker 1: Chef Die hand of Fredy Prince Tunor.
Speaker 2: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to a brand new episode of
Speaker 2: Wrestling with Freddy with me as always as my great
Speaker 2: co host, mister Jeff Dye. I said, as always, even
Speaker 2: though sometimes he's working, and this is wrestling with how
Speaker 2: we do have it? What pretty good, sir. It's the
Speaker 2: end of the day. It's hot as hell up here
Speaker 2: in my little studio. The little man had a sleepover
Speaker 2: last night, so when he came in, I got to
Speaker 2: give him a big time body slam as soon as
Speaker 2: he walked in the door, which was awesome. And yeah,
Speaker 2: how are you?
Speaker 3: I'm good? How did football go?
Speaker 2: They have him run a forty and he was fast, man,
Speaker 2: he was flying through there. I told her, I said,
Speaker 2: don't stop at the end like last year. You're gonna
Speaker 2: lose time. So just run all the way through it.
Speaker 2: And he ran all the way through and we cheered
Speaker 2: his buddies onto It's like bullshit, push push push. Four
Speaker 2: of his buddies are wor at the tryouts too, and
Speaker 2: then they have to do a fake out and a tackle.
Speaker 2: It's flag football on both sides and then they run
Speaker 2: like three different routes and then they test their arm
Speaker 2: and then it was over. And we were there early
Speaker 2: so he could warm up, so he was actually first
Speaker 2: and his number was my lucky number, so he was
Speaker 2: all good. Dude, he had everything going for him. He
Speaker 2: did drop one pass that he should have kept running
Speaker 2: and he could have caught, but otherwise he did a
Speaker 2: good job.
Speaker 3: Man nice. So when is he when with fire, he's
Speaker 3: on the team.
Speaker 2: It just depends. It's a draft now. All the coaches
Speaker 2: were there, so they're like evaluating the players while they're
Speaker 2: doing their tryouts and then they picked. There they do
Speaker 2: a full on draft and draft these kids, which is sick. Yeah,
Speaker 2: the kids really like it though, and he's been there
Speaker 2: three years now. This will be his fourth year in
Speaker 2: the league. All right, dude, Professional wrestling. We said it
Speaker 2: a couple of years ago, we said professional wrestling is back.
Speaker 2: I know the ratings aren't what they were in the nineties,
Speaker 2: but there's way more frigging channels than there were in
Speaker 2: the nineties. There's a lot more ways to watch things
Speaker 2: and be entertained than there was in the nineties. Wrestling
Speaker 2: is back. Because aw broke the record for paid attendance
Speaker 2: with eighty one thousand and thirty five and over ninety
Speaker 2: thousand people in the building altogether at Wembley freaking Stadium. Jeff,
Speaker 2: ninety thousand people sold out Wembley. You sold out Wembley
Speaker 2: with your comedy. How is that for you? When you
Speaker 2: did that, it.
Speaker 4: Didn't feel the same, let me tell you that. No,
Speaker 4: it was pretty cool man to see. And they're like
Speaker 4: doing real numbers now, you know what I'm saying, Like,
Speaker 4: it's not like they're lying.
Speaker 2: One billion people showed up and watched. We had to
Speaker 2: build seats in the sky. Goddamn it.
Speaker 4: They used to fudge numbers all the time like that.
Speaker 4: You know, whole col gonna be like I lived up
Speaker 4: that stinking giant ten feet over up in the air
Speaker 4: over my head.
Speaker 3: It's like, none of us is accurate. There was over
Speaker 3: five hundred thousand people in the audience. You're like, I
Speaker 3: don't know. Now they're being honest and this was the record, right,
Speaker 3: which means in just six years.
Speaker 2: They beat the record. That's what I'm saying, man, It's
Speaker 2: just it's freaking me out. It's they did so well.
Speaker 2: We've got all out in a week. They've announced that
Speaker 2: in October they're gonna have Wrestle Dream and in November,
Speaker 2: my friend full Gear will be at the Forum in
Speaker 2: Los Angeles, California. And you know who's gonna be there,
Speaker 2: You us, Me and our whole damn crew. That'd be
Speaker 2: so sick. I'm so sick.
Speaker 3: I was at aw in Atlanta last week.
Speaker 2: I will be a Dragon Con. So anybody in Atlanta,
Speaker 2: if you want to come, say hi, you can come
Speaker 2: say hi. Xavier Woods is going to be there and
Speaker 2: probably wrestling as a giant like video game character, and
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go watch them and wrestle other people in
Speaker 2: cosplay costumes. But let's talk some some AE dub. The
Speaker 2: show opened with zero Hour and by the way, I
Speaker 2: think I only got like one of my twenty seven
Speaker 2: predictions correct, and this was the first one. I'm really wrong.
Speaker 2: Oh God, Jeff. It was terrible. MJF versus Our MJF
Speaker 2: and Adam versus Ozzy open and I thought for sure
Speaker 2: Adam Cole was going to turn on Max and they
Speaker 2: were going to lose that match, and that was going
Speaker 2: to be Adam Cole turning heel. And then they were
Speaker 2: going to have this epic match and we'll see who
Speaker 2: can win in the championship. They did not do that.
Speaker 2: They stayed Bros for Life and won the Ring of
Speaker 2: Honor Tag Team Championship, which completely surprised me and probably
Speaker 2: a lot of people because it seemed like they wouldn't
Speaker 2: do that. But if they're trying to put those titles
Speaker 2: over and trying to put Ring of Honor over and
Speaker 2: get yet another show on TV, then maybe that's the
Speaker 2: right thing to do. We also had, as all in began,
Speaker 2: we had the real in quotation Marks, which is bullshit.
Speaker 2: They shouldn't even let him say that. The Real World's
Speaker 2: Championship match Sampunk versus Samojo. Everybody knew Sampunk was going
Speaker 2: to win this match and he wasn't going to lose
Speaker 2: that belt the first time or second time he defended it.
Speaker 2: I don't know. I wasn't that hype for this match,
Speaker 2: and I really like Samojo, and I think Sampunk when
Speaker 2: he has a long match, does a really good match.
Speaker 2: But I wasn't too hyped to see it because I
Speaker 2: already knew it was going to end. Now let's go
Speaker 2: to Kenny Omega Hangman page and Coota Ibushi versus Jay White,
Speaker 2: Juice Robinson and Konoski Takeshida. This match had a surprise ending,
Speaker 2: and you came in right after this match ended. I think, Jeff,
Speaker 2: this match had a surprise ending with Kanask getting the
Speaker 2: surprise sort of roll up victory when I think everyone
Speaker 2: was expecting a finish from the good guys, so this
Speaker 2: was kind of the surprise finish. I'm not the biggest
Speaker 2: trios dude, but sometimes they catch me and now we
Speaker 2: get to win. Mister Jeff Dye made it to the
Speaker 2: party fashionably late, had three dates with him. They were
Speaker 2: all looking fine as wine. You came in like the
Speaker 2: godfather and we got to see I still don't know
Speaker 2: what this match is a stadium stampede, and this was
Speaker 2: everybody at aw versus everybody else' It was like six
Speaker 2: on six and there were parts of it that I
Speaker 2: didn't know what the hell was going on, and there
Speaker 2: were parts where I was like, son of a bitch.
Speaker 2: That was really awesome. I know you had to have
Speaker 2: loved this. Had Jeff Die ridden all over it, right.
Speaker 4: This match had so many things happening. Crazy thing after
Speaker 4: a crazy thing. Heenta had two entrances. One says like
Speaker 4: like he just kind of went away, and so many
Speaker 4: things were going on that people didn't really notice that
Speaker 4: he was just missing for like a few minutes.
Speaker 3: I think his music hits again. There's just tables everywhere,
Speaker 3: any kind of weapon you could think of.
Speaker 4: They had legos, they had broken glass on taped gloves.
Speaker 3: They had a barb wire bat skewers, right, so these
Speaker 3: like little skewers that John I'm gonna throw up.
Speaker 4: They had an umbrella. Someone fought with an umbrella, which
Speaker 4: was very exciting. I think that was Kingston up at
Speaker 4: the top British and then a woman comes in with
Speaker 4: cookies and pastries.
Speaker 3: They hit them with that. There was literally anything you
Speaker 3: could think.
Speaker 4: I think Kingston was broken home when with a real
Speaker 4: bottle in the backstage area that either did I don't
Speaker 4: know if it broken.
Speaker 3: It was like one of my favorite things I've ever seen.
Speaker 2: Dude. When he came out the second time, We're on
Speaker 2: a group text chain because we couldn't be together for this,
Speaker 2: and all I wrote was what the fuck is going
Speaker 2: on right now? The whole it was like Sarah Jessica
Speaker 2: Parker hosting the Golden globes. That one year where she
Speaker 2: just came out like nine different times and nine different wardrobes.
Speaker 2: Is beast was insane. The getting hit with the baking
Speaker 2: dish was hysterical. There was like you said, kendo sticks
Speaker 2: the broken glass shout out to Jean Claude Van Dam's
Speaker 2: Kickboxer movie was awesome. He did the tong Po that's
Speaker 2: the name of the bad guy in Kickboxer. I don't
Speaker 2: know why I know that. And they put the resin
Speaker 2: on their bandages and then dip it in the glass
Speaker 2: and then they punch each other and slice each other's
Speaker 2: guts up. I thought that was awesome. And I usually
Speaker 2: hate the gross stuff, and I thought that was awesome.
Speaker 2: And Orange Cassidy got the hell beat out of him.
Speaker 2: But only one person took a worse beating than Orange Cassidy,
Speaker 2: and that man's name was Trent Barretta.
Speaker 4: He's gone, Trent Peretta is gone. The dude got crushed
Speaker 4: more times than like a whole like a jobber for
Speaker 4: Bronze Stroman or something like.
Speaker 3: The dude was just hit after him. He went through
Speaker 3: every we Dude.
Speaker 2: I was yelling at the screen, leave that band alone.
Speaker 2: It was like watching someone get beaten on the streets
Speaker 2: of last Hey, I'm going to call the authorities. Kids.
Speaker 2: It was still a really sick match, even though I
Speaker 2: had no idea what was going on, but I know
Speaker 2: it was bloody and gross, and I know that John
Speaker 2: Moxley had skewers sticking out of the top of his head,
Speaker 2: and it looked like three hairs that Popeye would have
Speaker 2: on his head when they'd stand up straight when he'd
Speaker 2: get beat up before he'd eat the spinach. And it
Speaker 2: was the grossest thing ever. John Moxley, you're the grossest
Speaker 2: wrestler in the universe. But I still love you and
Speaker 2: I think you're awesome, but oh my god, you're so gross. Dude.
Speaker 3: Here's the thing.
Speaker 2: I love.
Speaker 4: This kind of stuff is right up my alley. But
Speaker 4: even I was going I could have done without the skewers.
Speaker 4: I was like, what is what are we doing with
Speaker 4: these things? There was also a screwdriver at one point
Speaker 4: in Oh.
Speaker 2: God, I don't know, but when he shook his head
Speaker 2: and most of them fell out, I was just like,
Speaker 2: oh God.
Speaker 4: When he was doing when Penta was hitting him, it's
Speaker 4: like I was watching his hand, like, Wow, he's really
Speaker 4: putting him in there. This must just be they might
Speaker 4: have like flat ends on them or something. But then
Speaker 4: when they stuck, I was just all right, this is
Speaker 4: it's worse, that's real. I thought it was like some
Speaker 4: sort of Arler trick, but it wasn't.
Speaker 3: Just wild.
Speaker 2: The winner of the match was the squozon one Orange
Speaker 2: Cassidy the best friends Kingston and settled me the next up.
Speaker 2: How do you follow that? I think everyone felt like
Speaker 2: the women got screwed because it was the women's World
Speaker 2: championship match, a fatal four way he Katushita the champion,
Speaker 2: versus doctor Britt Baker d m D versus Soirea versus
Speaker 2: Tony Storm, the former women's champion, and everything was stacked
Speaker 2: up for these women to fail, and they somehow pulled
Speaker 2: this match off. Man, I don't know how. They didn't
Speaker 2: lose the crowd, but they had him hyped. Sorea's entrance.
Speaker 2: She came out with her entire Carneye circus family. They
Speaker 2: were like eight deep. It looked it was probably like
Speaker 2: six deep. They came out, and I should have guessed
Speaker 2: it then that oh shit, she's about to win the
Speaker 2: World championship. But I thought there was no way that
Speaker 2: she was going to get the title, No way and
Speaker 2: shoot him my last one that I thought was going
Speaker 2: to win it. They came out and had a hell
Speaker 2: of a match. Britt Baker got Tony Storm and her
Speaker 2: submission hold and or hikatu. Sheida had had her in
Speaker 2: the submission hold and Soria came in and grabbed Tony
Speaker 2: Storm hit her with her finisher and before britt Baker tapped,
Speaker 2: she got the one two three on Tony Storm and
Speaker 2: it was awesome. Man, I did I had. I felt
Speaker 2: bad for them because I was like, Ooh, that sucks
Speaker 2: to give them this spot, and they totally crushed it.
Speaker 2: At least I thought they did. What did you think?
Speaker 4: I loved it, and you know that I'm pretty critical
Speaker 4: of women's wrestling, and it was awesome. I loved every
Speaker 4: second of the match.
Speaker 3: I was. I know that Soria's mom is a pro wrestler,
Speaker 3: I'm aware of that, but her mom did great.
Speaker 4: I'm just not used to seeing something in the front
Speaker 4: row wrestler or not be able to pull off and
Speaker 4: make it feel real when they're going back and forth
Speaker 4: with or like.
Speaker 3: Being held back or and her mom was amazing.
Speaker 4: I also loved the thing that they did, where like
Speaker 4: Tony Storm kept finding herself in situations from Sarria's perspective,
Speaker 4: would look like she's betraying her, so like Soria's just
Speaker 4: laying on the canvas, and then Brad Baker does a
Speaker 4: move to Tony Storm that puts her over Soria, Like
Speaker 4: that's just kind of how she felt.
Speaker 2: I definitely like the finish. I was happy with the winner.
Speaker 2: I like Sorea a lot. I think she's super cool.
Speaker 2: She just has to be healthy enough to be a
Speaker 2: champ unless she just holding it and they're waiting for
Speaker 2: someone to come in that they're gonna crown the new
Speaker 2: women's champion. But I really liked the match. It was
Speaker 2: awesome seeing her win in her hometown and that Sir
Speaker 2: takes us to the best damn tag team in wrestling FTR.
Speaker 2: Their country is all hell versus the Young Bucks, and
Speaker 2: I just got hip to both these teams in the
Speaker 2: last year, so I wasn't fully aware of their rivalry,
Speaker 2: but I know they can all work. Like cal I talked,
Speaker 2: I think while you were at work about the Brian
Speaker 2: Cage Big Bill versus FTR match and how they told
Speaker 2: this like crazy awesome story. I was like, yo, this
Speaker 2: match was so good and it shouldn't have been. And
Speaker 2: the Young Bucks wrestled the exact opposite way. All they
Speaker 2: do is move around and dance and do what bron
Speaker 2: Stromann would say, the flippy floppy shit, but they do
Speaker 2: it really cool. And it was to see who the
Speaker 2: best was gonna be. And these guys beat each other's
Speaker 2: ass for a very long time, and FTR got the
Speaker 2: victory after they did each other's moves and each other's
Speaker 2: finishers to each other twenty different times. And they go
Speaker 2: to shake hands at the end of the match, like,
Speaker 2: come on, fellas, let's bury the hatchet. The better team won,
Speaker 2: Let's go come on, shake it out. And the Young Bucks,
Speaker 2: the two brothers, they look at FTR and they just go,
Speaker 2: you know what, fuck you, and they just walk away.
Speaker 2: We're not shaking your hands. This shit's not over yet, bastards.
Speaker 2: And they just walked out. And I thought that was
Speaker 2: cool because it at least gives them they can come
Speaker 2: at each other again. And you can let one guy's
Speaker 2: be heal and the other guys be babyface and aw
Speaker 2: doesn't care. You're allowed to cheer for whoever you want.
Speaker 4: Over there, did you dig the match man no offense,
Speaker 4: but I think this was one of the most forgettable
Speaker 4: kind of matches up the night.
Speaker 2: For me.
Speaker 4: It was fine, it was good, and I like this future,
Speaker 4: so let's keep it rolling. But I just didn't feel
Speaker 4: like it had very many palpable moments. It didn't have
Speaker 4: very many, Like the stakes didn't feel bad really high
Speaker 4: for me anyways, and like they had that like chill
Speaker 4: kind of like press conference that was leading up to
Speaker 4: it that was supposed to like build it seems so.
Speaker 2: Well, let's discuss one of those great moments. To me,
Speaker 2: the greatest moment the goat, Sir, the ocho El Capitan,
Speaker 2: mister Chris Jericho versus Wrestlings Tom Frickin' Hardy. That's right,
Speaker 2: Venom himself, y'all, will Ausprey. I was not hip to
Speaker 2: this dude until lately. I had seen the Instagram clips
Speaker 2: of him getting flipped off the top turnbuckle, landing on
Speaker 2: his feet, and people put graphics of him turning into
Speaker 2: a super Saiyan when he does it, which is pretty
Speaker 2: awesome by the way, But I wasn't as hip to
Speaker 2: him as I have been lately, and that promo that
Speaker 2: he cut on Wednesday Night where he's like this mach
Speaker 2: will change my whole life. Brev, you don't understand it's
Speaker 2: gonna change my lot. I was just like, holy shit,
Speaker 2: this dude will never signed with WWE one hundred percent.
Speaker 2: He signing with AEW and they are going to kill
Speaker 2: it next year because his contract's up in January with
Speaker 2: New Japan. This match did not disappoint. These two men
Speaker 2: went back and forth. This match was awesome. Will Osprey
Speaker 2: can do anything off the top, turn buckle, anything in
Speaker 2: the air. He flipped and twisted and smashed Chris Jericho.
Speaker 2: Chris Jericho beat his ass. These guys went back and forth,
Speaker 2: and you know, Chris Jericho has a piece of aw
Speaker 2: by the way he tries to get every single wrestler
Speaker 2: in the company over, and you know he knows will
Speaker 2: Osprey's money, and so he put him over freaking big time.
Speaker 2: And this British man from I think they said Essex
Speaker 2: one in front of ninety thousand people screaming his name.
Speaker 2: They all love him because he's their guy, and he
Speaker 2: won their girl, Sirea one. It was like the Night
Speaker 2: of the Brits and the just felt right from start
Speaker 2: to finish. It was awesome. I know you love this match, Joe.
Speaker 4: Yeah. I became a Will Osprey fan. He's so stinking good.
Speaker 4: Some wrestlers are so good at pro wrestling that they
Speaker 4: make it look easy, and then there's some guys that
Speaker 4: are so good at pro wrestling that it looks so hard.
Speaker 3: You're like, I could never be a pro wrestler. I
Speaker 3: could never.
Speaker 4: He beat his ass like he beat Chris Jericho's ass,
Speaker 4: but he made he did it in a way where
Speaker 4: it was like it made Jericho look tough as hell.
Speaker 4: And I can link Jericho did that match with how
Speaker 4: with Jercho's age, and he's thinking that We've got guys
Speaker 4: like Billy Gunn, We've got guys like Sting, We've got
Speaker 4: the still wrestled, We've got these guys who are still
Speaker 4: in there, Christian, all these guys, but nobody's taking that
Speaker 4: many bumps from a guy that young. Now my match
Speaker 4: of the night, just because I'm so entertained with all
Speaker 4: the little bells and whistles of other shit, but when
Speaker 4: it comes out of just pro wrestling, Wow.
Speaker 3: I became a huge fan.
Speaker 4: I was also bullying Osprey when he was in the
Speaker 4: ring because I'm palas of Jericho, you know, so he
Speaker 4: would be like yelling to change. It's gonna change my life, bro,
Speaker 4: Baba Bonda, I'm gonna do it. I just kept being like,
Speaker 4: we can't understand you. What are you saying?
Speaker 2: Oh, I would have bought you. I would have fought
Speaker 2: you in the crowd, dude, I would have fought you
Speaker 2: for sure. That promo got me fired up.
Speaker 4: We're in the Jericho section, dude, as we're not trying
Speaker 4: to cheer for will Osprey.
Speaker 2: But as all day I'm sure for will Osprey. That
Speaker 2: was some sick Now you're coming to thee Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: I like it all the way better, dude. Yeah. Man,
Speaker 2: that kid is a straight up gangster. And what a
Speaker 2: way to tease because now you know he has to
Speaker 2: go away because he has to finish out his contract.
Speaker 2: And you got this like taste. It's like the ultimate
Speaker 2: your appetizer is your entree, but they only give you
Speaker 2: a bite of it, and it's the best entree you've
Speaker 2: ever had. And you're like, oh, now I got a
Speaker 2: wait twenty more minutes for this son of a bitch
Speaker 2: to get done cooking, damn it.
Speaker 4: And I think that he knew that this was his moment.
Speaker 4: You know when someone says like, hey, listen, this is
Speaker 4: your role to lose. Go in there and have a
Speaker 4: hell of an audition. Go in there and make the
Speaker 4: whole crowd laugh.
Speaker 3: This is your spot. We picked you because you're great,
Speaker 3: but like you better deliver.
Speaker 4: He delivered, and because of that, he's gonna be the
Speaker 4: most wanted wrestler around.
Speaker 3: You know when he's contracts out.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he is the Coffin match. I did not think
Speaker 2: I was gonna like this match. I liked this match
Speaker 2: quite a bit. I loved Sting's part in this. I
Speaker 2: loved when the table didn't break and he was like,
Speaker 2: oh no, you're you're gonna break. I did not. I
Speaker 2: get nervous with the old guys, and Sting was like, relax, Freddy,
Speaker 2: don't you what are you nervous about? I got this, bro.
Speaker 2: I really liked this match, and it was a lot
Speaker 2: of fun. The bumps that these dudes took on that
Speaker 2: coffin with legit denting it with their skulls and the
Speaker 2: coffin dropped that Darby Allen did on top of it
Speaker 2: were un believable. There were show stealing type moments though
Speaker 2: it couldn't steal the show. Nothing could accept a loss.
Speaker 4: Bring Darby is reckless with his body, like in a
Speaker 4: fun way and in a good way, Like I love
Speaker 4: to watch it, but like I'm just going he's not
Speaker 4: gonna do that on the Coffin. You know, it's not
Speaker 4: collapsing like one of these tables were used to seeing.
Speaker 4: It's making his whole head whip back. Like there's just
Speaker 4: so many crazy spots. Didn't have these things. Was there
Speaker 4: any part of you, and just be honest, was there
Speaker 4: any part of you that was like maybe because of
Speaker 4: this week with Terry Funk and Bray Wyatt like that
Speaker 4: the Coffin things a little weird?
Speaker 2: No, I didn't. My brain didn't not.
Speaker 4: Even even bridge that the match was awesome. Swerve is
Speaker 4: a rock star, dude. I can't say enough good so do.
Speaker 4: His manager is funny, He's got so much Charismai he's
Speaker 4: got a great look. His moves are awesome. I know
Speaker 4: we're not talking about it because he didn't, but he
Speaker 4: had a lot of spots that were pretty awesome.
Speaker 2: Serve was man. His entrance was so good. Man, it's
Speaker 2: restles and so good. He's got personality for days and
Speaker 2: the moment wasn't too big for him at all. He
Speaker 2: ate that up. Who's house Swerve's house? Like you could
Speaker 2: tell he was love and love And.
Speaker 3: We have to mention this because you texted it first.
Speaker 4: And then Alex, our producer, said, I thought that too,
Speaker 4: and I promise you I'm not just saying this. I
Speaker 4: also the second and halpened, I go, wait a minute,
Speaker 4: his braids are out.
Speaker 3: Those braids are out.
Speaker 4: That means he's technically not fully in the coffin. But
Speaker 4: we all had the same thought at the same time,
Speaker 4: which means probably most of the wrestling world also had
Speaker 4: that idea. You know, we're gonna play by the rules.
Speaker 4: Ear Swarf should be upset. You should be like you
Speaker 4: didn't fully get me.
Speaker 2: Protest file of protests, Swerve, don't let the storyline die,
Speaker 2: File of protests. Technically part of you was out of
Speaker 2: the coffin. Technical Oh so that must hurt.
Speaker 4: If your braids are stuck and like you're inside, that
Speaker 4: would probably hurt, you.
Speaker 2: Know, Yeah, and he sacrificed people. Protest Swerve. In another
Speaker 2: trios match or not trios match or a trios match,
Speaker 2: we had Billy the Badass Gun and the acclaimed against
Speaker 2: the House of Black. This match had a story which
Speaker 2: was nice because Billy Gunn, we all thought retired in
Speaker 2: the middle of the ring when he lost to these
Speaker 2: guys and got pinned and felt like he was an
Speaker 2: anchor holding the team down instead of a guiding force
Speaker 2: that's building them up right, and so he takes his
Speaker 2: boots off in the ring and everybody's no, say it
Speaker 2: ain't so. And they tricked everyone and wrote this lovely
Speaker 2: story where the House of Black would not leave the
Speaker 2: Acclaimed alone even after they beat them straight up. And
Speaker 2: Billy Gunn had enough and he's like, look, if you're
Speaker 2: not gonna let it end, you son of a bitch,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna end it. And he called them out and
Speaker 2: he said, I'm the badass gun and I'm coming to
Speaker 2: Wimbley Stadium and you can suck it words to that effect,
Speaker 2: and they had this match. I honestly wanted Billy to
Speaker 2: get his own entrance. I wanted the Acclaim to come
Speaker 2: out do their rap and then introduce Billy Gunn and
Speaker 2: have him come out get his own music. That's what
Speaker 2: I was hoping for. But it didn't happen. That's all right.
Speaker 2: He looked like Solomon Grundy from the DC comic books,
Speaker 2: and he beat the hell out of everybody and they
Speaker 2: hit like twenty seven famousers in the match, which was awesome,
Speaker 2: four different mic drops, and they got the win and
Speaker 2: they're the new champs. So he can't retire Man, He's
Speaker 2: got to stay with us forever because he still has
Speaker 2: one of the best bodies in wrestling at one hundred
Speaker 2: and twenty seven years old.
Speaker 3: I know he's so bad as he looked great and.
Speaker 2: Of cold Beabay versus Maxwell Jacob Friedman, the AEW World
Speaker 2: Heavyweight Champion MJF. This has been a great story. I
Speaker 2: thought it was coming to an end tonight. It is
Speaker 2: most certainly is not. It was simply chapter one. The
Speaker 2: Roger Strong stuff guarantees you that I got the finish wrong.
Speaker 2: I got everything wrong, although I think I think I
Speaker 2: said Max would win. They told a great story. It's
Speaker 2: like watching an old eighties teen angst movie watching these
Speaker 2: two guys. It's like the things they fight. They treat
Speaker 2: the belt like the girl they both have a crush on.
Speaker 2: The dialogue feels so eighties, like a cop, like a
Speaker 2: Buddy cop film, like Eddie Murphy and Nick Nolty going
Speaker 2: back and forth in forty eight hours. I've loved everything
Speaker 2: about it. They brought all of that into the match.
Speaker 2: Somehow they gave you a horrible finish and then MJF,
Speaker 2: who's the biggest mark for himself, apparently goes, we're not
Speaker 2: handing on a bullshit ending, working off fight forever, you fuckers,
Speaker 2: let's go, and then they fought forever. I love the match.
Speaker 2: I love the ending. The Roderick Strong stuff worked really well.
Speaker 2: I'm your best friend, not him, do it, do it?
Speaker 2: But he couldn't do it because he's got love for
Speaker 2: MJF because he's he has kind of scum bag. But
Speaker 2: this was awesome and the story now is not finished,
Speaker 2: which is really cool and has me guessing all over again.
Speaker 2: I had to love this match too, right, you love
Speaker 2: the whole show. I feel like, yeah, the show is
Speaker 2: awesome and was great.
Speaker 4: There was so many little MJF isms in the match
Speaker 4: where I would go, I've never seen that, and I
Speaker 4: think that that's something to MJF like made up or
Speaker 4: did on his own, trying to think of what they were.
Speaker 4: But like every time something would have happened, oh like
Speaker 4: gaining his trust by being like shaking his hand, and
Speaker 4: Adam Cole thinking I can't shake his hands, and then
Speaker 4: he shakes his hand, he goes no strut by sportsmanship,
Speaker 4: and then he starts his own sportsmanship. Chance he does
Speaker 4: it like a few more times, and Adam Cole gets comfy,
Speaker 4: going like yeah, you know, all right, yeah, this guy's
Speaker 4: he's a changed man. And then all of a sudden,
Speaker 4: like on the sixth one, when he goes to it,
Speaker 4: he pokes him in the eye and then turns to
Speaker 4: the crowd's like right down then jff baby. It's like
Speaker 4: those little things are so great. Also, I noticed a
Speaker 4: thing that happened in the MGF match versus Cole that
Speaker 4: also happened earlier to Tony Storm with Soraya and Britt Baker,
Speaker 4: where in WW they do this thing that I think
Speaker 4: is total How do I put this?
Speaker 3: How do I put this politely? I think it's total bullshit.
Speaker 3: Whereas like whenever a big moves happened, they show you
Speaker 3: an instant replay, but then they they either zoom in
Speaker 3: or they.
Speaker 4: Like speed it up. It drives me crazy. Just show
Speaker 4: us the highlight, you know, just show us the thing.
Speaker 4: So MJF got slammed onto the like soupplex onto the
Speaker 4: steel steps outside, and it looked, oh god, realistic that
Speaker 4: they replayed it like multiple times. Look at this how
Speaker 4: crazy is because if something is real, let's see it,
Speaker 4: let's see that this is great. It should explait that
Speaker 4: to really be like, look at how crazy they're putting
Speaker 4: their bodies on the line. And the same thing with
Speaker 4: Tony Storm got stomped while Soriah had her in this
Speaker 4: kind of like figure four kind of I don't know
Speaker 4: if there's.
Speaker 3: A name for the move this.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Tony's Storm gets her head stumped by Britt Baker's foot,
Speaker 4: but since her hands aren't there, she's just really taking
Speaker 4: the head and face to the canvas. And they replayed
Speaker 4: it like three times, and I was like, good on, aw,
Speaker 4: get those real moments and there kind of show off.
Speaker 4: This match was full of amazing storytelling of like MGF
Speaker 4: pulling out the ring and questioning it do I do this?
Speaker 3: Dirty fan? And him putting the ring back in his shorts.
Speaker 3: There's just so many, so much great storytelling. MJF is
Speaker 3: I say it every time we talk about it. He's
Speaker 3: the best. He's just genuinely the best.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree, dude, Jeff, tell the people where you're
Speaker 2: going to be this weekend.
Speaker 4: I will be in Bakersfield, California this weekend, so now
Speaker 4: school really should come.
Speaker 3: Yeah, just look on Jeff dot comics see where I'm
