And I thought about this because sometimes I do activate my brain. I actually think right now that title feels like a pretty big deal. Also, hello my friends and welcome to ups and downs for AEW Dynamite. We are only like 10 days away from all it resting coming back to the UK. I'm very excited because I live in the UK. That's it. That's all there is. Let's shut those doubts. Going back to the matching question, though, it was the Carushita taking on the Sadie Spine. I'm going to be a very early negative Nancy, but I am giving it a down. That's only because when this match was announced, somebody said to me, "Wait a minute, Simon, didn't she lose to Britt Baker a few weeks ago? So why would she be getting a title shot?" I thought about it. I thought about it. I thought about it. I was like, "Damn it, you're right." Now I do get to get a victory at the weekend, but sometimes wins and losses have to mean something. Otherwise, they mean nothing. That's like Google mapping to your own house. It's like, "What are we doing? We've arrived at the same place that we were to begin with." I know it doesn't make a big difference in the grand scheme of things if somebody does get inside my guts. What am I going to do? Down. Otherwise, though, I thought this was great because these two just had a back-and-forth tennis wrestling match. At one point, she was going for something with Sadie and said, "No, I'm going to get you." Then we had Haruka Rana's. And just when Mercedes is going to get need in the face, she bailed to the outside of the ring. Because, one, nobody wants to get need in the face, and two, her friend Camille was out there. I mean, she doesn't look like this, but she is the brick house. At one point two, Camille even grabbed Monet's leg to stop Sheila's suplexing her. That's like, it's really smart. It's basically physics. Sheila's still hitting this awesome tilt-a-well backbreaker, like Camille was just casting distraction again. This is where my hand went up, and I was like, "Who is in charge of AEW?" She has done this every single week, so she has debuted. Maybe somebody should tell her, "Stop going to the ring." It didn't allow Mercedes to hit this awesome meat to your to the outside, and when we got back in the ring, she was hitting the backstabbers, which made sense, because every single one of her finishing moves essentially goes after the back. There he is, though. She then just kept going for meat to youra, and more meat to youra. She was spamming meat to youras, so Sheila was like, "I'm going to get out the way of this." From Mercedes-Benz A, "It's a meat to youra." Well, I thought, "Well, look, we've learned a valuable lesson there. Never give it." Sheila returned fire with the folk of Arrow just as Mercedes was going for the three of me cuts. This is where Camille got involved again, because he just dragged Monet out of the squared circle. This was totally fine. I was like, "Yes, of course you can do that. Why would I care the referee?" It was the means of somebody did run out during a matching kidnap somebody. This would be perfectly okay. The fair play to Sheila. She was so mad here, so she whipped Camille's ass, and she even had a kendo stick. Mercedes had tried to steal that, and the referee was just spinning around like Kylie Minogue at this point, but that meant she took her eyes off the prize, which is when Camille decided, "I don't appreciate how you have appreciated me, Sheila." And she booted her eye on her face. Then allow Mercedes hit the Monet maker as she got the one, two, three. People always go, "Oh, it's such a terrible finish." I was like, "Pfft, believe you me. I have seen worse when Britt Baker's music started to hit. This place went crazy." Now Camille started running around like some kind of lost puppy until she saw somebody in the crowd wearing a stink mask, so she whooped the crap out of them. I was like, "Man, this is totally unfair. I know that Baker did that once, and if I go to a wrestling show and I decided to dress a sting, I won't be sat in the hotel going, "Oh my gosh, Camille made beating me up. That's going to hurt." It was true as well, because instead, Baker came out the crowd. "Man, I was laughing away because I'm such a nerd." Rather than just attack Mercedes, she put the glove on first. This is like when Jeff Hardy did his dance, when his brother was getting beaten up, "Would you just get on with it?" It was really well done, though, because she was about to apply the lock tour. Again, Camille, saying Mercedes Manazas, so you could say when we do get to Wembley, Britt Baker is going to be at disadvantage, because she's going to have to take up two people. Britt had the kendo stick at one point as well, so she was chasing everybody away. I think the main part when it comes to this feud is I am looking forward to that match in London, because I really can't call it like you could give it to Britt Baker or Manaka retain that title, or maybe somebody else gets involved in this program, but it was a nicer way to kick off a dynamite, giving it a nap. When we saw the footage after last week's episode of the show, when Hangman Adam Page just beat the crap out of Jeff Jarrett, when we were with Double J and his crew, we didn't much appreciate that. We don't want to get punched in the face. This is when the cowboy arrived again and just caused shenanigans when we cut straight to the ring, because it was going to be Hangman Adam Page taking on Jay Lethal, which makes all the sense in the world, because Jay is Double J's friend. If I weren't going to hazard a guess, when we do get to All In, I think it is going to be Hangman vs Jeff. As always though, anything with Page is so damn good right now, because even though he is totally unhinged, everything he's saying is actually damn true, as we were going to find out later on in this show. Now, Lethal's big plan here was I'm going to hit you with five dives, so he went one, two, three, four, five. I guess it worked for about eight seconds, but all you did is hit Hangman's mad bun, and he went off again. When he hit a DVD onto the ring eight, which is the hardest part of the ring, and through Jay, into Tim of the TimeKubers area, where he was just trying to rip off his limbs. Now, I was like, "Leafle, you don't want that. How are you going to be able to move?" At one point though, Adam started bleeding from the mouth, which I think sent him back to that Texas deathmatch, because he forgot what he was doing. When Jay Lethal basically busted him with a lethal combination, and he was going for the most devastating move, in all our sports entertainment surprise roll-up, listen, he was just having a bad evening, it did not work. He didn't try for the figure four, but Page won none of that, so he raped the eyes, when he actually murdered him with this lariat. And even though he did then go finish him off with the buckshot, even the commentators were like, "Ah, I think he needed to hit that move." Jay Lethal are on a day. So you've got to figure that all of this is building to all out, which is a couple of weeks after all in. When we finally do Swerve Strickland versus Hangman Adam Page, and you also have to ask the question, is Swerve even going to be the world champion by then? I don't know. I don't book the show, but I am giving this enough. We then got such a good video for the MGF versus Will Ospre a few, which also went back to the weekend in Rev Pro, when MGF took on Michael Oku with a mirror in his corner. We also make sure everybody knew that Ospre had come back to make the save, because of course at the end of this, Max looked to the mirror and was like, "I am going to give you the Tiger Driver." Because, you know, even though he's absolutely brilliant, he's also a bit of a dick. It's just got you so pumped, though, and because it is MGF and Will Ospre, they are making this international title/American championship feel like such a big deal, so I presume this is not the main event of the paper view, but when they do come out, everyone's going to be like, "Ah, I can't wait to see it." And it was the first of loads of good videos on this episode, and I'm giving it enough. I think maybe the best part was after this, though, because Pac just zoomed in, and looked right into the camera, and he was like, "Wait a minute, Bob, who is the number one contender?" For that terrible shit that everybody was just talking about, it ate Will Ospre, it's me. Pac is also sick of being overlooked, and I was just cheering at this point, because when he talked about it seven days ago, he was in this position, and for some reason, everybody forgot about him. And once there's a song, tell us, you don't forget about Pac. He has come up with an idea, though, which has come all out, he shall challenge the winner. I'm going to have to presume that, all in, he will be in that casino gauntlet, which is fine. Also, I've got a bit of my beat in a bonnet about this, because I really wanted Pac to be in, like, a showcase match at all in, at the moment, given the calendar. Well, I think it's going to happen. No, I really do appreciate the fact that AEW has finally mentioned this, because it was a little bit of a plot hole, and Pac also said, "Oh, by the way, that paper do is in the same arena where I beat Kenny Omega." So all this was good stuff, but just for my own personal belongings, whatever that means, it is getting it down just because it's my disappointment. I thought Pac was going to be in that match at the international title, and although what I'm getting is still absolutely brilliant, I'm a Pac fan, man. What are you going to do? Yes, you could call me a Pac, man. Shouldn't have said this. With this or footage of Darby Adams, he talked about the fact that even when he was on the indie scene, he would go out and kill himself for no money when he found out about this company called AEW, where I suppose he could kill himself for this time, for lots of cash. He also heard about some idiot called Jack Perry getting signed, and that's when he knew it doesn't matter what the three initials are above the door, quite killing the elite. They're just going out there and signing all their boys. He basically doesn't have any respect for Jack when he was going to come to the rink to do something, but we will never know because Jack Perry just teleported in from the Starship Enterprise. My goodness, he whipped this guy's ass. Then he fought backstage, too, where Jack threw Darby into a box-like structure when he also hit him with a garbage can. I was like, "Who uses trash as a weapon?" Perry was then essentially going to kill this guy using a crate in the door when violence and security ran in, and I was like, "Yeah, if you hadn't have done that, you would have had a dead body on your hands, and what the hell would you have done there?" It turns out he's building some proper madness, though, because Jack Perry then just went, "Ah, I want a coffin match." I was giggling again, because it all made come all in. We've had two of these huge Wembley shows, and for some reason we have had two coffin matches. I really did like all of this, though, because if you do actually go through their history and all the times they fought and all the time just going out of control, yeah, it probably would build to some crazy stipulation and while you'd want to bury somebody in a coffin, I don't know. But I do think this is totally justified. It's kind of one of those feuds that's been simmering under the brim. Well, that means I don't know, but I am giving it an up. I'm actually quite looking forward to this. I think they've done a good job. Hey, I'm Ryan Reynolds. Recently, I asked Mint Mobile's legal team if big wireless companies are allowed to raise prices due to inflation. They said, "Yes." And then when I asked if raising prices technically violates those owners to your contracts, they said, "What the f*ck are you talking about? You insane Hollywood s*ck."

When we got to Mariah May's big video tribute to Tony Storm, if wrestling was real, for lack of a bet, and you had this, you would definitely be arrested and taken to jail. On that same note too, it's amazing that A.W. let this video play, because Mariah was saying stuff like, "Well, is it better to be remembered? Or is it better to be forgotten? Is it better to be put in the ground? Or is it better to go up in flames?" Sheesh. May is also ready to be everything that Tony Storm wants without the mistakes and the biggest error that Tony ever made was existing in the same era as Mariah May. She can't compete. Before this one day, people will question whatever did happen to that Tony Storm. But don't worry. They're both going to die. But I am going to be the one doing your eulogy. I was like, "Oh my gosh. That may be the best life anybody has uttered in 2024." You definitely can't say any about that without getting arrested. So bam, there is the crime counter and it goes up by one. But given that this feud has been going on for eight months or whatever it was, and we're still coming out with stuff like this, what I would imagine, even if you were on the fence, surely you have to watch it and go, "I'm pretty excited for these two crazy people." I'm sure AEW could have just had them scrap again, but I thought this was way better. I really hope Tony Storm has some kind of rebuttal, because we are not standing on ceremony here, Mr Wayne. So again, I've already told you that every single video on this episode was damn good. Gail up. When we actually heard from Nina Shirakawa, she is back. And she also admitted that she hadn't heard from Mariah May or Tony Storm, but her big issue is, she doesn't want either of these two to get her to all it. Ha ha. You are absolutely going to be wrong with that one. Though she's definitely going to turn up and screw one of them, which actually isn't the worst idea given their history, although if somebody could tell me where this promo was shot from, I would be interested. It kind of looked like they were doing it outside of a freezer. When Orange Cassidy was able to lay claim to the number one spot in the casino gauntlet that is happening at all end. He was facing Roderick Strong Kyle O'Reilly, and I really enjoyed this, because it's like a rule rumble in reverse. Matt, you want to be number 30, but of course here, because it is sudden death rules, you want the number one or the number two spot, because if you've got number 12 and somebody else gets the pin, well, you're just going to be in the back going, man, I hate my life, it always goes bad. They kicked the crap out of each other too, begin when Orange and Carl essentially focused on Roderick Strong, but when he was down, Carl was like, "Eh, get back in the ring, my dear piece of fruit." Rod was like, "No, I'm not listening to you." And he rolled it instead. Of course they are part of the conclomerations, so I suppose they are kind of friends, but here they need to have their eye on the prize. It's when I have it on good authority that they got screwed by the most powerful horse and all the sports entertainment, the commercial prey. Now, because I watch on Trilla TV, I don't get adverts, but everybody said it went to black, and when it did return, Roderick was just kicking ass. That's because of the commercials, man. Aye, joking, they have scary, scary strength. He went back, making crazy, because he loves all of that stuff, when Carl eventually got rid of him, and that's when O'Reilly decided it's our time to go. Honestly, they went so fast, but I didn't know what Orange could move that quick. The chop that Roderick then gave Cassidy was so loud, as amazed that Juice didn't go everywhere. When O'Reilly was back in and he locked on a submission, when Orange Cassidy eventually fell on them from the top rope, and everybody was down. Matt Taven and Mike Bennett were then here, and I said, "What the hell have you guys been? It's been like eight minutes." But Kelly Nayer being stalked by Mark Brisco and Ishii, because instantly, they came out to calm all of this down when Mark Brisco jumped off the chair, and all of them flubbed off. Carl was strong, then smacked each other in the bones, as Orange started to do his little kicks, but that increased his MP, and he went nuts once again. When we got this amazing Hurricane Rana and his three-way DDT spot, I just started to clap. It was a very good wrestler. There was even more submission kicks, and who knows what else, when we actually got a double pin. But thankfully, this referee had been watching wrestling, and was like, "No, listen, we've had enough of that. I am going to need a singular winner." O'Reilly was cooking, though, which would apply his submission on to Roderick Strong, but that is when Orange Cassidy had taken his med pack, because he snuck in, and he hit the most devastating move. In all of sports, an entertainment surprise roll-up, and he got the three, and he is now numero-no. So, I'm very excited for this gauntlet. I still think it's the best concept that AEW has ever come up with, and I would actually make a pay-per-view called the Casino Gortner, and just do it once a year. But I don't know anything, but this is getting it up. When we did get our face-to-face between a car, the Ancladio-Castignoli, and I tell you, I find it a bit weird we're doing this on the Dynamite before all-in, and a lot of the pay-per-view itself, but you can still plug me in. I am excited. Ancladio admitted that he felt like he should have won that continental championship when it was first up for graphs, but he leapt up down. When we cut to a carter, he was just doing this sarcastic clap. I love that guy. He then ran off all of his compliments and told him that Castignoli is not ready. Well, of course, surprise, surprise. He called him a bitch. Don't bring it down! There it is, the bitch counter. Actually, this did have a couple of weeks off, because everybody stopped saying it, but look at that number. We only began in July. Castignoli also made it clear that he doesn't want the stupid stew just been hanging around with the elite, and he wants the rainmaker, because when they do clash, they should have a match for the ages. Damn right. He also added another one to the bitch counter, because he said to a carter, "You do have 99 problems. This bitch is going to be one." Very, very excited about this match. So this was really good, and while I can't see Castignoli are winning, we did make this feel like it is something that everybody needs to tune in for. I mean, it's clearly Ocastignoli versus the carter, and a few years ago, that was basically a dream match. I am giving it enough. Christian Cage was interviewed next. Honestly, this guy. Now, if you don't know, he had screwed over the Bang Bang Gang and the House of Black on collision, because he was a special guest referee, and after he had whipped everybody's ass, he just won't will, I suppose. I'm going to have to count you out. No winner. Of course, he's going to get totally screwed, because somebody announced that this will be a triple threat match. It's just honestly wrestling's favorite angle in 2024. It doesn't matter the company. Every single heel is like, "Oh, I've come up with a great idea." In this number one contender match, you need to start watching the shows more. It never works. Now, he also said that he's going to win a bunch of championships to make his way back up to the world title, which is interesting. When he also told his fake son, Nick Wayne, "I ain't going to watch you wrestle this weekend. It's in Norfolk, and I ain't going to Norfolk." And then told Renee to go and beat a mother. That's supposed to ask him any more questions, and let's hope she's better at that job than she is at being an interviewer. I'm just like, man, Christian Cage, you're totally crazy, and I shouldn't like you, but I actually think you're bloody funny. When Batman was here, I mean, Hook, or Hook, man, no. Don't you mind me welcoming him back, though, and Hook was indeed wearing an eye patch, which means he goes into the AEW high patch Hall of Fame. I mean, John Moxley, Wall One, I think Claudia had one on for a while, obviously Brian Danielson. This is like an interesting run. Come 2024, who is going to be next? I always don't laugh because I'm a bad person, because Tony should've already went, "Hey, man, how's the eye?" And he's like, "Well, you know, it ain't great." Obviously. Thankfully, he had two eyes, though, which was quite the revelation, and that's why, right here, right now, he wants to fight Chris Jericho for that damn FTW title. But I'm not sure how that does, Ty, but whatever works. Also, he cut the whole promo like this. You, Chris Jericho, I'm going to whoop your back. So, of course, it was a learning trade that set him on fire, so they did arrive. Chris Jericho was like, "Well, we can have a fight, but we're not going to do it here or now. In fact, we're going to do it at all in, but there's some providers." First and foremost, when Hook does lose at Wembley, he has never allowed another shot at the FTW title, and also he's out the Jericho vortex forever, which I think means he can never fight Christopher again. He also has to fight Big Bill next week, and honestly, if your kids watch this show, do not let them watch Dynamite in seven days' time, because Bill said he was going to take Hook and shove him right up Taz's ass. That is going to be horrible, horrible viewing. Hook was fine with all of this, though, and said he was going to rip off all of Chris Jericho's limbs, which would be an effective way to win the match. And I do kind of feel like he should have tacked them or had them in a threatening position when Jericho was like, "Oh, I accept." But at the same time, if you think Big Billy Boy is going to whoop his ass so bad, he's not going to be ready for all in, well, I can see why you would say yes. This was okay, though. It still does kind of feel like it lacks something, and I like Brian Keith to be involved more. But if it does end with Hook getting a big championship win over Chris Jericho at Wembley Stadium, well, I don't think you can say fair than that. So I shall go with it up, but of course we need to wait and see, but it didn't take up that much TV time. I thought it was fine. When it was indeed our tag team title, I'm actually a claim-taking on the Young Bucks. Let me just go back to being a negative Nancy for one second and get it out of the way, because this has been too long a time coming. Like, I think it should have happened a couple of weeks ago. And really, if we do wrap it up and eat in a little package, AEW needs to eat up its tag team scene again. And now this has nothing to do with the barks and what contract dates they may or may not have when they are booked for the show. That doesn't make any kind of a difference. I mean, pick the promotion you want. So many times we have seen the Champions not turn up for television, it's been perfectly fine. I mostly just think it's an overall thing where we do need to have more tag teams going after these belts, because they are important. Really, AEW made a rod for their own back kick, because a couple of years ago it was so damn good. And now really, it's just more as good, but we can get there again because we have the talent, but in terms of here on this night, just getting a mini down. Otherwise, this was a solid piece of business as they say, especially because the acclaim dropped the Young Bucks right away, and you would do that. These two are being goobers for months, you wouldn't lock up. Boans even did a dive off the stage, so he had gone totally mad. Well eventually Matthew Nicholas did get back into this, and Nick started to pose with the title, and I was like, why is nobody listening to me? You've got to leave all your deep pads at home. If you overly taught in 2024, somebody is going to come and get you. You claim did this too when Boans hit this awesome ball dog, and Nick was able to get the blind tag when we kind of switched things around again, when Danny ass finally made himself know, as I do, you took your time, when he got ejected about one minute later, because he started chasing after the Young Bucks. Now, Nick then felt like rippling up a fan's sign, which is a terrible idea, because Castor was able to cast confusion, so the Bucks ran into each other, and the whole time Boans had been warming up his hand, kind of a hot tag. And I say kinder, because he basically got taken out instantly, so Max had to get the real hot tag, and then he sort of went wild, and essentially they all ran into each other and fell down. Matthew, the powerbomb that actually Boans onto the stage, was just absolutely horrific, and when he was going to use the tag team title as a weapon, the referee stopped him, instantly, Matt just weared Max Castor right in the balls. I mean, that's what he does. The Bucks were then going to use the championships, and finally, FTR came out here, and Dax looked at Matthew, and was like, "You're not allowed to do that, you stupid, stupid man." And said, "You know what, Matt Jackson did?" He went to a, and he spat in Dax's face, so bring it down. We've only used this a couple of times this year. It is the morally acceptable counter, I'm sorry, that it's not morally acceptable, I believe it moves up to three. And the problem was, kind of understandably, hardwood was so mad. He attacked the young Bucks, and surprised the prize. This is when the referee was getting back to his feet. Is that, wait a minute, that's a bald guy in this match. There are no bald guys in this match, it's DQ. Now I quite like this because AEW doesn't do many disqualifications, so they do use them well when Billy Gunn was back. So that is when we did cut to the back, and Christopher Daniels was here. He was like, "Man, I'm sick of all these three. I can't handle any more, so at all in, it's going to be a three-way." So admittedly the build to this has been a little bit wishy-washy, but at least we did get the acclaim there, title match, and look at all in. This is going to be so damn good. I like the fact that Matt's castroom Anthony Bowen's are getting their moment on the biggest of all stages. They've totally earned it, just give it an up. When we got this video for Brian Dangerson's career, set to green days the time of your life, and my gosh, everybody got to go and watch this. Because he focused on his entire career, including AEW, Ring of Honor, everything he'd done in the indies, and even PWG. And if this doesn't make water come out of your seeing devices, well you may actually be made of stone. It's so fair play, that's really cool. We also got Brian dropping the line, "If you fight for your dreams, your dreams will fight for you." And that was it. I was just shouting at my TV. He has to hit the World Championship at all in. He's probably talking to Tony Khan right now going there. I don't think I ever need to win another match again. But in terms of getting you hyped, it has to give them up. I mean, this was a motion personified. We then cut to Brian Dangerson, who was in the ring in the front row, because he was about to watch his boy. Swerve Strickland came out to face Wheeler Euter, and my word, he beat him via stoppage. Now I'm going to throw in my final nerd down here as well, so you have to forgive me. But I do kind of agree with this. Even though Wheeler Euter is in the BCC, and him and Daniel Bryan, excuse me, Brian Dangerson, are meant to be bros, I kind of thought, man, over the last two weeks, we probably should have tried to re-establish this relationship, because it would have hit harder. And here was a little bit like Matt, I don't even believe your friends anymore. Tony, I'm going to give it a down, but seriously, it doesn't matter, because what we did in the match was so damn good, because for the first chunk of it, wheels was trying to date down Swerve, who's like, "Nah, man, I'm an insane crazy person, and I'm going to kill you." So once again, hang my adder page was right as Strickland just threw Wheeler Euter into Barry Barricade, and Simba, the still steps. When they were back in the ring, he started talking trash to Brian, essentially going, "I'm going to be the one to retire." You were then trying to fight back, but Swerve stopped him when he talked too much trash to Brian, because all of a sudden, I'd tell you, Wheeler busted out this awesome Hurricane Riner, and what I think was like a diving elbow thingamajig, and I guess you would do that, it's really pointy. So anyway, for another diving, totally missed, which is when Swerve applied in a bell lock, and he knew what he was doing, but you were averse that into the ankle lock when he was like, "Ah, I know what to do," and he hit him with the elbow elbows, and we just talked about that, it's pointy. Then it slapped each other as hard as they could, but Strickland was just laughing because he loves the pain, when he just knocked this guy out with a headbutt, and because he was all woozy goozy, "Oh my gosh, he hit him with house call after house call," and even the commentators were like, "Yeah, Strickland, you need to calm down." It was too late, though, because he decided to stomp with the Euter's face, and given that he wouldn't give in, the referee went, "Right, I'm calling it, the match is off," and then surprise surprise. Do you think Swerve calmed down? He just continued. This led Brian to try and make the save, which when Strickland ran away, but given what he said on the microphone, let's just say it one third time, hangman and a paid was right. Strickland said he had a big plan for all in, because he presumes that Brian is going to bring his family. So he is going to do to Danielson, what he just did to wheel a Euter, but who will be in the front row position this time? It will be Brian's daughter, and she can watch her. Dani's life basically come to an end. Oh, that's Swerve, you've got real problems. After that, he can retire for good, which is when Danielson went to check on wheel a Euter, but of course, Swerve Strickland ran right to the ring, and he assaulted this man when, no joke, he did the yes chart as Prince Nana did the dance. These two have gone evil. He's just a great character, though, because he actually has depth to him, and it's the same with Brian Danielson, and this was a fabulous year to AEW Dynamite, because we cemented this as the main event of all in, but you've also got me going, I have no idea who is going to win and who is going to lose, and that is wrestling secret sauce. It's called Jeopardy! So you have to go and check this out, it was a really good main event, and an excellent go home angle, even though we do have one more Dynamite, but I am going to give it an up. Boy, oh boy, am I pumped for this match. Which means we got to the end of another AEW Dynamite, and I am going to give it an up, and really, it kind of fills up. We should have done this in seven days' time, but listen, that show is going to be from Cardiff. You're going to have a bunch of crazy UK fans going crazy, obviously. I ain't mad at it.
