We are straight up in autumn, baby. All right, we are rocking and rolling. So get in your super chats if there's anything that you want to chat about tonight. Please leave a thumbs up on this video as well because I think we're going to need help with people finding us in the algorithm. I can't imagine a lot of people are going to be searching out this episode of ROH because man, you could tell it's autumn and we're getting those like root vegetables in because if you love a good squash, this episode is for you. That's all That's all I got but I'm joined by SP3. We appreciate you being in the chat. We appreciate you touching tips. I'd appreciate it if our age had consistency and care behind their product for more than six weeks so I can stop getting excited like an ex-girlfriend holding out hope that they're going to get back together. I am I am tired of the quote unquote lack of sustained effort with this stuff, but the talent is world-class they deserve better than than what they're getting in my opinion. The infantry and outrunners are friends now like if there's there's so much that made no sense on this episode tonight and was wildly unsatisfying. I don't even have a blue chew ad to throw to after that, but man I'm so glad I've joined by SP3. You saw him on the Friday night smack down in collision hybrid review that we did this past Friday You can see him also on the upcoming collision review with a Rydian. He's are like just constantly coming in for the bullpen. He's our long reliever at SP3 SP3. How you doing? Now no longer the substitute teacher of FIFO now I'm the Mariano Rivera of FIFO The enter the Sandman just hit the Metallica music and I come through I literally had to had to give Kate the the long pause intros that I will give y'all now I hate to say it But I think we're at the point where I want them to record with collision again. That's how bad we are not not not like Kate Kate is always on the positive side of I want them to care again I'll let them to to make this product into something. I'm at the point where I just want to record we collision where they can basically just Become become a little bit more, you know judicious with the amount of matches So I don't have a 12 match card with 10 of the matches being squashes Like I prefer them to just record with collision where we got seven to eight matches with Six of them being squashes like I prefer that over in 12 match card with 10 squashes. This was unreal like I don't Think I have way too many jobs in professional wrestling. I'm like keyed at this point where I'm just Like he would podcast is with the amount of jobs that I have and I cannot say Watching a 12 match show with two or ten squashes. This was unreal. It was It's it's so unfair to the talent like it's just so unfair to the talent It's ridiculous that Dustin Rhodes holds two titles. It is not here to defend any of them It's kind of ridiculous. He holds two titles in general. No no offense to him like unbelievable Workers still at this age One of the like From just a pure ring psychology standpoint. He is so good at getting fans invested and paying off their investment He's in his 50s. He's holding two ring of honor titles Neither of them appeared on the show today. Mark Briscoe was not on the show today Athena was not in action red velvet was not an action at latest junior was an action and it wasn't even the main event this was it insults to the talent and Like I'm not gonna complain I get paid to talk about wrestling But like come on man. Give me something to review like I am I am so frustrated by the trajectory of our wage And how it's gone because they will heat stuff up for a short bit and then just throw it out the window But we are gonna get into all of it tonight So get in your super chats leave a thumbs up help me in sp3 get through this one because this this was a rough one, man That's what's a rough one? And we don't even go far as John Cena folks. He's job. Sorry. I couldn't hold it in See for tomorrow like John Cena. He'd be four people And he's one half of the tag team champions Doing he's got a hold he's got a tag team champion partner. His tag team championship partner is one third of the six man tag team Champions none of them can show up to help and he's still one and he's still one he's still one Bring in bring in the Nexus. Just just do it. Just have Sammy squash the Nexus But let's get it started on the right note because if there's anything I love it's pretty Peter Avalon I love Peter Avalon so much. I Missed him I wish he would be on our wage consistently or somewhere consistently because I feel like if there's anyone Who if you're gonna give me a directionless product someone that I want to see Under any circumstances is Peter Avalon. So I was at least entertained by what we started off with here We have him at Atlantis Jr. and approving ground match the ground Undisturbed just just unproven here, but Atlanta's Jr. are winning with a huge frog splash Peter Avalon in this faking a knee injury Because while he is pretty he is also sneaky But this was a fun match Peter Avalon's always great like he he's so He could fill the same role like it I think he's capable has a much higher ceiling than they're ever gonna give him credit for but He could be like if you needed someone to be like in a serpentico role or something like that Like a guy who could just make everybody look great and eat pins. He's one of the guys that can do it Like he's he's really really good Not sure why a TV title match the only title on the program wasn't your main event our main event was a Fantastic match, but didn't mean anything. You're literally editing these together What are we doing like even the editors don't care? This is such like a C - effort man. It's it's it's so frustrating to be when the talent are so good, but I Did like our opener here. I don't know why it was the opener properly But it was a it was a really good match. It's nice to see a champion around. It's nice to see a latest junior defending I don't think this is something they're gonna be running back though So I have to wonder what is next for a latest junior. We also didn't see Shane Taylor on the show tonight I have no idea who's aiming at this TV title right now But the match that they gave us tonight. I thought was a really fun opener. What did you think? Yeah, I thought this was a pretty good way to kick off the show Peter Avalon. Yeah, he's so talented He's yeah, he's got that little slimy charm to him that makes him entertaining And you were definitely right like Lance is junior. Oh my god that that frog splash that high-five flow Or I don't know what this someone someone give me the pronunciation of high-five flow in Spanish That's what I would call Atlanta Junior, but Atlanta Junior, it was great. I want to see more of a lantis junior I wish I could see more of a lantis junior. I just checked out him in the CMLL International Grand Prix which Claudio cast an only one and he was good in that match as well I want to see more of a lantis junior But this was a good way to kick off the show see in a lantis junior the TV champion back on the show and hopefully You know, they build some stories with like the guys in the main event going after a lantis junior or someone up and down This card going up up against a lantis junior in the future. Let's do some promos Let's do some work like the only promos we got on the show the woman's division is back to carrying the the storytelling on this show basically Which they're great at but they shouldn't be the only ones doing it Ricardo saying I hear episodes that are basically collages me too man Me too. ROH is a w-dark and I think that's just what it is the problem is it's not Like the problem is it it shouldn't be It has champions on it like a w-dark. You knew what you were signing up for right like ROH. Sometimes they care. Sometimes they don't sometimes it's Independent talent sometimes it's sign talent. Sometimes it's people from the AW made roster that show up like It is it is so frustrating that they just flip the identity of what the show is at any given moment So I get what you're saying cuz it certainly feels that way, but I don't believe it's intended to so that is Very annoying guys leave a thumbs up on this video. We need your help tonight We need all the love we can get no one's gonna be like oh what a banger episode of our wage that was Let me go look up a review like that's not that's not happening tonight So we need you guys to keep us fresh in the algorithm for people It will also give you the fightful select hard sound okay We got some Danny Garcia news up on fightful select that broke earlier today Sean also said How about a whole bunch of stuff so I assume a whole bunch of stuff is coming more contract news on the way I Know yesterday he got asked on the hump it Like I just a meat update in general because where's Wardlow? Where's Mira? Where are all these guys and he said you know what? I'll do a meat update So subscribe to fightful select for your meat update if no other reason And also hang out with us in the discord. There's there's good people in the discord. It's a very normal Environment which is refreshing Comparative maybe not all fired up like I am about this episode of our wage tonight But we do have Billy Starks who calls an emergency Mem your minion meetings here with the ROH women's champion Athena And she wants to know why Athena is gassing up Lexi Nair as Lexi has this Minion number one jacket and oh my god. Where can I buy one? I want what I mean? I mean I'm in my but it yeah light up jacket Somebody consulted Jericho from his light up jacket days And this is this was good stuff. We're continuing to I think lean toward the inevitable Billy Starks turning on Athena kind of thing here with Starks complaining that Lexi was getting credit for her work Which she was we saw with our own two eyes last week and Athena basically says don't let the jealousy over shadow your own happiness Which was really nice and don't snitch on Lexi so Athena Left it upset Billy Starks mulling things over which I thought was a good piece of continued storytelling here. I got a saying We have Athena on the cusp of breaking a record and it feels like we need to lead toward the payoff of this title soon Like she's great at everything she does But this is getting a little bit long in the teeth now like they they do have to either Evolve the next step or have her drop to Billy sooner than later But but a good segment that we got here tonight. What are your thoughts on both this segment and that I? Thought the segment was good with Billy kind of snapping a bit saying that does she like does does Athena even watch this show back? Like and Athena answered her like watch show back like what I'm on the show like what would I watch it back? I don't like like Billy just being so upset and it felt it felt like oh wow I was kind of surprised. I thought they would like push this along a little bit further because I don't think unfortunately for what you said I don't think we're getting the payoff of the Billy starts a theta story until final battle until December So I think that they I thought they they would push this along with her kind of finally making a good point about You know Lexi nair taking taking basically credit for everything that she's been doing for her whether it's interfering at death before dishonor whether that's helping her with Abaddon a couple of weeks ago and You know she's finally acting for the credit that she deserves and then Athena just kind of brushes her aside But I think this is further this was just a tease of the eventual bigger blow off blow up of Billy Starks Where she finally snaps. I do agree with you. We are this is getting a little long in the tooth and literally a Athena's breaking that record next week like and they look the Legitimately just keep saying she's coming close to the record. No, she is breaking the record next week on next week show There should be some type of acknowledgement there better be Hopefully hopefully we're not still doing these Texas takings because you have less Texas like two three weeks ago now So hopefully y'all are back to record With collision because we need some fresh content and you acknowledging that Athena has a broke officially broken the Samoa Joe record The greatest record the the brutal Sam Martino record of ring of honor that she has broken and the most titled offenses Like Carice Coleman also adds every time he brings it up. We need to have that be acknowledged Also, my only nitpick of this segment is that and the fact that they really didn't acknowledge the fact that Athena is currently feuding with Abaddon like that was really gonna brush the side, you know to focus on Billy having her little blow off blow up to the eventual bigger blow up Which I don't know if that was a good point you could have kind of checked all the boxes here Where you're acknowledging that Athena's about to break the record She has Abaddon in her sights for the next title defense and then the bigger title defense is Billy I think they could have done better with the time that they got to kind of check all those boxes at once instead of just the Billy getting frustrated with Athena box Yeah, and I feel like with Abaddon Didn't they have a match last week That they could have just added it into this episode instead We did that was exactly what we said last week Kate that they last week's episode Could have it could have been this week's episode just like this week's episode half of it could have been next week's episode like just Like you you told One and a half stories tonight You could have included all the segments from the one story on this episode man Like even even though editing is lazy. It's it's a bummer. And I'll say this like I don't actually get emotionally upset about Creative, I really don't but I will be genuinely disappointed if they don't do something for a thing to celebration because like that is so Beyond earned with what that woman has done for that promotion I don't think she's taken any time off that wasn't because of injury like she has Carried that so you better carry that over into kf a bright. I'll be like that will genuinely make me annoyed That will genuinely make me annoyed, but we're not the only ones annoyed shame monster with the chat Thank you guys for the chance. They they really do help us out Say tmdk sp3 men a baby. That's a really good one. I love that. I love that one This we done we back we done is depressing Put leo rush in the main event title scene put a tv title on Preston just something yeah like Where'd shane taylor go like he's challenged for both titles like it it's really hard to have Challengers when your title isn't around like and and now this episode they just gave up completely i'm building up anybody for that, but We will continue along here More women's division stuff to talk about which is awesome, man. I'm really loving harley cameron Harley cameron and queen amadata this was Uh, I think harley cameron's first loss at least here in roh Yeah, and it comes to one of their top talent A really fun spot from camera did here where she drags queen amanata To the outside and bounces her head off the apron which sp3 I don't know if you know this This is that's the hardest part of the ring Uh, but we do have amanata hitting Lights out spinning back elbow and just knocking harley cameron out cold for the pin here This is all good stuff What brand is queen amanata on why is she challenging for an atw women's world title? What happened to the alliance with queen amanata and red velvet like What on earth like she's in she here's where it's concerning to she is clearly a top talent in roh she is very high profile Um always kind of sniffing around the upper card of of roh And if you don't even know what the hell you're doing with people that are in the upper card What the hell am I supposed to think about the mid card and down? And this is the women's division the thing that they actually give a shit about so That is Concerning to me. I loved the alliance with her in velvet if she is moving on to the main roster sooner than later Then I I get dropping that because they kind of set up this alliance with sereda deep and she's getting this world title shots This is obviously from a pre-recorded taping from weeks ago so maybe she won't be sticking around but then like Have someone beat her on the way out or is she going to be on both like pickle lane and drive in it It's so annoying, but mesh tonight is good. I'm excited for hardly camera's future genuinely Like I I think there's a lot of potential with that young woman and that she can do A lot of things Very well considering she's had like less than 40 matches in her career It's it's it's pretty impressive and she's grasped some of the harder storytelling stuff Very very quickly and I think the fundamentals are starting to catch up, but I don't know man. What do you think? This is once again where you I'm sure y'all can edit this where y'all can have this match Last week where she gets a win then she does the whole angle with moriah At least for me that watches all of this aew as I like to call it the converse I watch all of the converse so you could have had her beat Harley Cameron on ROA's tv then she did the angle with with the moriah mane and sky blue at all out And then she gets a title eliminator on dynamite which it makes some kind of sense But no you booked it like we had already seen this Where she she got called up to the to the aew roster, which when they did that angle at all out I was like, I don't know if she should be you know, moriah mane's first first feud I was hope I was hoping not because I like queen amanata and I agree with you I think that she could be a top talent in a future ring of honor a woman's world champion on ROA's tv But y'all kept her off of a w tv Outside of that one appearance in the collision four-way matchup for like months And she immediately gets into a feud with moriah mane, which I was like She lost the number one contendership for the tvs championship. How did she get to the bigger belt? Okay, but then they just made that a title eliminator and they preview that it's going to be the bigger feud is moriah Amena, which I think is a better choice for moriah mane's first feud because of the history they have together And then she's back here on ROA's tv getting a win. So I guess she's in both I'm just so confused. I'm confused with all of this I don't know who's who's looking. Is this the same company? Is it? I don't know what's going on anymore It really feels like well, some of the problem with this is it's just dated right because it's from weeks ago at this point So so that is a problem, but like it is There are certain patterns that you can pick up on that are an issue with both brands And then there are issues between the connection of them. So for example In both a w and rwh to me. There's an issue with how much How bloated the roster is but how How much the titles are occupied by the same people like Will osprey international champion is getting a tag team title shot jack perry the tnt champion got a world title shot Darby allen who got a tnt title shot was also supposed to get a world title shot until mox stepped in Here you have dusted roads holding the trio's title and the tag team title Nobody can break in that way right like there are things that are congruent on both programs that aren't working um and I And then there's things like this right where it's like you have people that are two different people on both programs Like god bless the outroaters for being so over, but like they're not near There's no contenderships in rwh right now So you can't even have these guys go up on a w and say like oh my god They're the hottest things in rwh because they're not getting a bunch of wins in rwh Like there's no contender or man these guys lost their title shot against dusted in sammy But they looked great doing it. So we're gonna see what they look like in this casino gauntlet like not mxm Not the outrunners like uh not the righteous even who I feel like are a priority. So It's it's really really rough when you have people that are And in some nights it's two nights apart, right? They show up on collision. I saw them losing two nights earlier Like it it doesn't work. It doesn't work that the entire tag division Is is a mess it's a mess and it's getting restocked talent wise, which is good But they got to fix the booking on it. They've got to fix the booking out But this is one of those things where it's like I already knew queen amunata was great And I already knew she could probably kick Harley Cameron's ass. So what did I gain from this? She's not a contender. She already lost tatita. She's not going after red velvet She is going after mariah bae. This doesn't work. It doesn't work Yeah, and I don't know. I don't know if that's gonna continue, but this might have been In the converse. Yes. I'm using it again in the converse. This might have been the most baffling week of booking Everything they did on on dynamite and I just want to say I enjoyed a lot I enjoyed the john moxley and darby allen promo exchange. That was really like a conversation and darby tried to debo a title match I mean i'm moxley trying to debo a title match out of darby hand that over to me. Love that But then they just completely just made it the biggest the biggest grand canyon logical ever with naijo who cut a great promo In and sold me on the match up and I was looking up flights last night to get back to new york for grand slam Because I want I would love to be 15 years later after I was there in 2009 to see naijo and brian once again But that whole situation is like a grand canyon of the logic hole then you got jereco Doing one of the worst segments in a e w history with pennies being dropped on a convertible Then you have the tag team division You this is supposed to be a showcase for the tag team division, but you're just exposing that only three teams are over Ftr the acclaimed mx n got a good reaction, but the real over team was the outrunners out of all In that match they got a Good to talk me pop. Absolutely. I'm all here for it because those are like our our wage young boys coming over Into the youngest men alive. Yeah youngest men alive Going over to a w getting that big pop. So I love that but then Hollywood will osprey. What's gonna do bruv? Big lead the whole tag team division Big lead. Oh my god. I was like really this was to be a showcase of This team's never And then you get this episode of rig of honor tv man I'm just gonna just gonna do a prayer to the aew gods that we can get this together before saturday Collision and we can have a show that makes sense because y'all are You are over to on shows that made any sense Truly and to your point there was a lot that I liked on dynamite I liked maybe 90 percent of it, but the 10 percent that missed missed so hard Missed so hard, but um The other thought think about and we'll we'll revert back to our way chair shortly, but the other thing with a w dynamite I was looking at my notes. I was like they just did way too much They didn't weigh too much. I by 811 they had done four backstage segments. That's too much like you have to save some stuff for collision Which is already fairly less important by the week. So like they've they've really really really got to Figure things out as far as pacing because that they added like an eight-minute overrun and it still felt like too much But ricard is saying credominata lost up billy athena and now mariah. Yeah, it makes no sense It makes no sense. I'm wondering if that was supposed to be uh I wonder if the plan was for mina and then I think back in japan there was a tournament going on I don't really keep up with the joshi scene that much so I was the five star Oh, that's right But but she wasn't a part of that like she went back to japan I guess because starting was like, hey, we need you over here for some. I know they have a big show on saturday so maybe it's for that to japan but Uh, did we really need queen amanata when she was catching momentum on wringavana couldn't we find somebody else? For that spot Find somebody else and like I don't think you needed to have defense on wednesday. You know what I mean? But We've got matthew hook saying a w needs to have a rule No one is on more than one show a week between all four shows at 80 percent of your roster could easily get used Could get used easily, especially with the new tv deal. Yeah, I am nervous about shockwave and what that would turn into because they do not need a fourth show fist show Fist show they do not need to be five shows in the converse if you if the plan was Let's can rampage and do a two-hour show on fox Head-to-head with smackdown to pick up on those habit viewers that were already tuning in to smackdown That's a little easier to stomach because then you're actually only picking up one extra hour Uh, and it's I mean that that to me feels like I don't know anything like as far as how close they are or any of that nonsense but um If fox wants to keep wrestling and say May it would be nice to spend about a third of what we were at a w says a third of what you gave smackdown Hell yeah, like there's there's a lot of win-win in that there's a lot of win-win in that for everyone So fingers crossed because wrestling is on fire right now But we move on to something that makes It's kind of the beginning of squash central for big real we got top flight Finn Parker Dante Leon and cd Bennett and ready Planting Bennett with a swinging side slam and Dante giving the pin in this I'm sorry to sound like such a cranky little bitch today. I'll be real like i'm sorry Are they a tag team? Are they a trio? Are they on a w? Are they on a roh? Another one that needs to pick a lane and stick to it. I don't think the trio thing works Do the two brothers set them on some consistent creative I felt like that versus a young bucks was a slam dunk you had the brothers versus the brothers who had the evil evp's Picking on the innocent young kids who are finally both healthy. Why that hasn't become a title shot I don't know why top flight didn't win instead of team bruv. I don't know Um the match is going to be insane by the way the young bucks versus team bruv is going to be nuts But I don't want the tag titles being used to execute a story that doesn't need them that feels very wwe to me um But I mean top flight always looks great. What am I what am I supposed to say like oh yeah? They were awesome like they're a fantastic tag team who you're doing nothing with they're fantastic When you include a trio, I guess leo rush wasn't a part of them today because he was in the main event So there you go, but um they look great. They always do i'm very happy that both darius and dante are Healthy consistently for the same time so that we get to see them work together a little bit more frequently But If you have any thoughts on this god bless you because what is there to say about pinning cd Bennett no offense to him But like i'm not on the show I like i like top flight and unfortunately the reason why they didn't win the tag team casino gauntlet is because um Did you see the lack of reaction they got and that's that's not on them They are great because because when dante faced off with osprey that got a reaction because everybody was like Oh dante martin and and will osprey and the ring together that's awesome So it had nothing to do with top flight and their talent But it has everything to do with their booking where They booked them like they don't matter and that they're not a future rising star future a w world tag team champions Which they should be booking them like thankfully they took them out the stripper outfits And now just booked them properly inconsistent on a ew television or roh Wherever just booked them consistently they they are the type of team I would I would be like i'm fine with them being on roh and a Because I feel like they're young enough where they can get the reps and wherever they're going to catch steam Put them on it, but even if they're catching steam in ring of honor I still want to see them on a w. Talk vision. I like top flight. I just wish they would book them better But like it doesn't even feel like they're in contentorship for the tag titles It doesn't feel like anybody is it does not feel like there are contenders for any of the titles in roh really right now and that Sucks so much because what do these wins mean then? Nothing. I mean absolutely nothing Because we had a good heel tag team that we were like we were a month ago. We were like hey You can either the infantry's there you got top flight there These all baby there's nothing but baby face tag teams on ring of honor and we have a baby face tag team as a champion So it's like no one it feels like everyone's on a treadmill and no one can be the person To no one makes sense to beat dust and it's handy at this point It's brutal And I I thought for sure mxm was going to come in as a slam dunk and win those tag titles fast and that They would be able to do a bunch of defenses And they could work either side because they're so silly that working with faces is fun But they're technically heels because they're arrogant little like they're models, right? I mean so They're out here Face and house of blacked and stuff like they're they're technically I guess you can book them however you want and I I think that would be something that would be very beneficial to the roh product right now so Um, i'm with you. It's it's a bummer that these teams feel lost in the shuffle and it feels like they're getting more stunted instead of less but When we talk young tag teams, we got to talk about the youngest men alive the outrunners truth magnum and turbofloyd with the fantastic erically defeating uh warren j and zach zilla um Part of the reason they got that huge pop was they do so much work out of obw And or we're doing so much work out of obw and it it really made me happy that this team That has worked for I mean, they're probably what 20 years old so for two years Uh at obw got this huge reaction in the the gauntlet Uh also top sellers in merch like they I said it was a big month for silly goose teams and in the aw umbrella, right? Like you had mxm who are translating so much better in aw than they did in wwe The outrunners are like hugely over right now. You need that you needed a little personality in this tag division Um and then we do something that makes absolutely no sense We have the outrunners who get the win And they start to pose but they're interrupted by jack jameson and the irons savages and the trio Attacks the outrunners knocking them from pillar to post But the infantry comes out to even the odds and I was under the impression They didn't like the outrunners They didn't they feuded for months about their finisher What the hell is this there better be some creative justifying this next week because this makes absolutely no sense um I think they have a tree on the same side as the outrunners is something that could be very fun like in a In a partnership way, but like last time we saw these guys they were fighting over their literal Finishing maneuver like what are we doing? uh If it's because the irons savages are too big and scary, okay, are they a tag team or are they a trio? They still can't decide that like Man, it's it is brutal. It is brutal to Love this brand and love the talent so much and just have to shred this episode because it was terrible like genuinely I've complained about every segment. This is one of them. Unfortunately, everybody involved is great But where the hell did this come from? I don't know This is a segment that they could have made for three weeks of television about You could have just had the outrunners when this match up Iron savages beat them down because it seems like on roh tv No heels can do a beat down in the post match without somebody coming out to make the safe Like we remember what was it like three weeks ago when they had a cage of agony and undisputed kingdom beat the beat again dark order Beat up the baby faces and they we were both shocked that no one came out to make the same The heels actually got to stand tall on this show That is like the the exception to the rule of no heels can stay at all And just do a beat down on baby faces. It always has to have someone make the same But this is an instant when you could have made three weeks of television Iron savages stands tall they beat down the the the outrunners then next week you do a squash with the infantry And then the iron savages come out and beat them down and stand tall And then the third week Outrunners do another squash they win Iron savages jumped them again And then the infantry comes out to make the safe where it makes sense that they are really getting revenge on iron savages And then they do the whole handshake with with the outrunners because they're coming together against a common enemy Instead of them just randomly watching in the back and be like hey We should help the guys we were feuding with from months last year Yeah, you know what I think because of this one instance Like it's it's really really tough to buy into and also like Do they give us does do any of the tag teams give us shit about the tag titles like no I just I understand having title adjacent stories, but we don't have a story for the tag titles And they were won by a team that didn't exist So like why are they infantry holding the titles like I was told by so many people that like this undisputed kingdom run There's going to be a payoff. There was not a payoff like at all At all it is rough. It is rough and it's it's so frustrating because I I am so happy when I see town featured on the main roster or so much of them were on the zero hour for all outs, but like All that they're being used as enhancement talent and that I'm told I'm supposed to care about them like the next day It's I would love to know Outside of the outrunners getting their one huge win to people that job even more than they do Like I would love to know if there's any rOH victories from talent that have been sent up to work Collision in the past I'll say since the beginning of the Texas tapings have any of them gotten a victory Well, well, just look at the the iris averages because I really am positive that they lost on collision I don't even remember at this point. That was so many days ago. I don't remember who they lost to Wrestling Then they lost to the acclaimed on the zero hour for all out then they lost a squash match to Jericho Big bill and brian keith of the learning tree on dynamite Then they couldn't even do a post match beatdown on this show They they are really having a rough week It is it is a rough week to be an iron savage there. They do not feel very savage right now They feel like iron iron little babies right now sadly um But we'll move along we get robin renegade defeating angelica risk renegade kind of Selling getting frustrated more and more as the smash went on which I liked and she hits a pump handle slam to put away The pesky angelica risk who was hanging in there for a while against robin For the win This match happened. That's all I got like Sure Hey, I I like the fact they put you know robin renegade in there was someone smaller than her She actually looked like a giant for one I loved her and uh and delica risk Slapping each other's titties off because I literally thought that When they were cheating just like we were cheating chops and then Delica rith said it and I was like oh, this is awesome. I like this and then you know Rob and renegade tried to she said a puppy on a slam But she was really trying to do the bitter end, but it just didn't look right. So Okay. Yeah, that makes sense. That makes sense No idea robin has looked really good. Um and fight for select.com Reported that charlotte has been backstage, which is a good sign um, so hopefully they're building towards something but like She has not felt like she's a part of the r away trust her and and Months and months and months months and months She monster saying that risk is a great yapper in the ring. She is she very much is she very much is so this was fine, but Why it happened? I'll never know We get jacobiwat cutting a promo From purchased air tie which I liked he calls out ej and duka Who issued a challenge for him next week on behalf of him and nick camarado? I'm intrigued to see if this taping features Nick camarado like I'm on behalf of himself and nick right so like is nick the one who's getting in the ring with him I'm guessing Or is jacobiwat the one getting in the ring like I wasn't clear on that from the the promo and I don't know if that was intentional Like if that was before or after he went into surgery or if my notes just suck Passion drive and patience the formula for winning championships is also what keeps your ride or die alive ebay motors has everything you need to maintain your vehicle and level it up to peak performance Superchargers roof racks exhaust kits LED headlights and more whether you're into speed power or style ebay motors has you covered With over 122 million parts for your number one rider die You'll always find exactly what you're looking for And with ebay guaranteed fit your part is guaranteed to fit your ride Every time or your money back because with ebay motors, you're burning rubber not cash With all the parts you need at prices you want It's easy to make your car the mvp and bring home huge wins Keep your ride or die alive at ebay motors.com Eligible items only exclusions apply ebay motors.com At king supers pharmacy care is making it easy to get vaccinated care is helping you stay protected from flu covid and rsv Seasonal vaccines are available seven days a week with evening hours care is giving you a shot It's staying healthy this season walk in whenever is best and get multiple vaccines in one visit at your local king supers pharmacy So come and get the protection you need while protecting those around you king supers a world of care is in store Visit king supers.com/vaccines for more restrictions and exclusions apply seaside for details When you need meal time inspiration, it's worth shopping king supers for thousands of advertising ingredients that inspire countless mouthwatering meals And no matter what tasty choice you make you'll enjoy our everyday low prices plus extra ways to save Like digital coupons worth over $600 each week and up to $1 off per gallon at the pump with points So you can get big flavors and big savings king supers fresh for everyone fuel restrictions apply I'm pretty sure he was like alluding to nik camarado taking the match up But I think that they left that little vagueness because they probably knew that nik was going to get the surgery maybe That that could be that could be so we will see if it's nik camarado that would be awesome because Yeah, uh size wise that would just be a like deliciously fun batch up, but uh our best to him for sure So we move on to the righteous dutch and vincent who were also in that gauntlet because Tag team divisions just melt I guess into one They defeat james black heart and jc valentine A Vincent getting tagged in a grabbing black heart and a carry and dutch slamming both of the opponents And they hit the orange sunshy to pick up the win here uh Like I when you said we had like 10 squashes on the card I don't know really how to give proper critique or analysis Are they headed toward a tag title shop? They keep tweeting about mocks. Are they in this thing with mocks? Are they on a w to just May be made to look bad to mjf what he needs it. But I don't know Um, are they with lance archer? All of the tag teams are also triops. It drives me absolutely batch it Like how many tag teams are also trios drives me crazy Crazy Uh drives me nuts, but um always good to see the righteous in action though Uh dutch with that slam is always so so so nasty looking Uh, but but decent stuff. It's just like we're not headed toward contentorship He's showing up losing tag team gauntlets on on Wednesdays Tweeting at mocks and lance archers throwing people around like he might be involved in this thing like Again pick a lane and driving it. It's kind of how I feel but how do you feel sp3? I love the moment after the matchup where the whole front row was doing the the snaps Which is that that made them like row that made them look so over And then I had to watch dynamite where I wish I wish this this these fans were there in kataki Because I don't know what just keep them on on rwhtv. You talked about it at the beginning of the show They're picking up momentum. They're in the tag team division. They could go after the six man tag team titles I know you don't like guys being in both divisions, but they're picking up steam on ring of honor whichever division they choose Just pick a lane and stay there and go for it But they don't need to be on a w television. There was enough tag teams in that matchup You didn't need to put the righteous out there until you're ready to really commit to getting them over with the aew roster They were picking up momentum last year and then you just had mjf beat them at russell dream So let's let's let's regroup. Let's bring it back Let's do some vignettes If you want to put them back on a w television before you really introduced them because that got them over the first time I think that can get them over again, but if not just keep them on our wage I agree I agree they're not it's not like the outrunners who got like such a big pop So you want to include them in this it just felt like hey, we need bodies and these guys are backstage at that casino gauntlet which is unfair to a group that uh includes so much creative like it it they um Or such a specific gimmick and All of their vignettes look great and things like that like they take such creative care that you can't just really just toss them At a casino gauntlet and have it work Uh, but we are going to move along guys get in those super chats. Thank you for the support tonight We appreciate the support and that you shared our frustrations a little bit with us Uh, I uh, I feel like I should just throw this over to you We do we do get to see beef on the show which is like one of the saving graces sp3 Which was wonderful wonderful news feeling drapey said if beef needs to chill out He should find in jellico. I think he should find lady frost honestly like if you need to chill out gotta be looking for lady frost but this reminded me of uh Like it it's almost like a cartoon relationship where you have like the the scrappy underdog and then you have like the cool Uh, it's more like a detective stapler and benson thing you got the benson and eight knee henry and you've got the wildly stapler in beef here and he's uh He's just like He in the henry wants him to to get it together to feel like a real deal tag team and beef is like but i'm an excitable guy man But he's your dude. So what do you think? He was a cousin and then cuz it's why are you always what? um Then that he got a phone call from jd drake Uh about the workhorsemen coming back and then anthony henry warned beef that he has to chill because if he doesn't chill Jd brit jake is gonna come back and slap him so he's like chill chill. Oh, I can't chill I don't need so much So I went to this hey in this segment the rest of the show and I was like Half an hour later. I was like, I want them to go back to beef and he still can't chill They should just have they like they did that one week But they did like five learning tree segments not telling them to do that again But do five beef segments on rOH in between matches Where where he's trying to get dry and stop being always what and he's trying to chill You know he can hang out with and and helical around the smoke see if that helps and he's still can chill It's like I just want to see more beef more beef. I know it's a weird tattoo more beef I think um If they're not going to do more pay per views It would be cool if they did some tv specials and like beef hosting a tv special is something I could be very into Very into not mad about it. Yeah Well Also kind of confused why this wasn't the main event because I think they want us to think that same wigwavara is actually superman But uh he defeats aria defari with mark sterling he hits uh gth And pins devari for the win to your point a lot of shenanigans in this As our dear crusta says if you can chanaon once you can chanaon again um, but say wigwavara with the strength of uh a thousand men And the fire of a thousand cents Uh defeating everybody that comes into his path here in the premiere athletes Uh my personal attorney mark sterling out there as well What the hell is it? At least john cena was like a big dude Like and I didn't even like it when he was doing this What on earn Was this I get one of your baby faces to look strong. This was stupid. This was stupid This is the second time this week. I'm axing. Why? Was say wigwavara Why did say wigwavara take 80% of a match up against ricochet Which he just came you just came you let him have a matric confledger where it went 5050 That's bad enough But then you let sammy take 80% of the match up last night And then you turn around and he's john cena here He comes he makes his comeback. He takes out both of the the premiere athletes on the outside josh woods a prof- basically a professional fighter in my eyes A legit badass who should be beaten people left and right Tony niece who's one of the most underrated wrestlers in ring of honor er re devari is a good performer as well and he just Washes him takes care of the premiere athletes on the outside He punches smart work sterling and then after the match up. I'm like, okay, so Um the premiere athletes. Okay, maybe they got separated But this is four on one so they should just probably come into the ring and attack sammy after this. No They just they just Tuck their tails Tuck their tails between their legs and just walked mark sterling to the back I was like, this is unreal. What am I watching? not so premiere the mid athletes maybe The bath leads That ever there's something there. I'll find it Does anyone want to let tony know that it's 2024 And the sammy kovara project might have already failed I like sammy. I like sammy. Don't get me wrong. I like sammy. I think he's a really good baby face I think him being in the tag team division is a good idea if he wasn't already a tag team champion two matches Love wrestling saying why in hard nation did we deserve Due to deserve so much wonderful on screen guys follow the love wrestling crew. They do amazing Amazing work. They're just like we're running the biggest mall in Canada. No big deal We're all so nice and we do things the right way and we run awesome venues and we're really cool We have a fun online presence so go follow love wrestling everybody behind love wrestling that i've met is super cool so wonderful Something to brighten up our night, but We also get lexin air who? With great hesitation interviews red velvet bass state They disagree about what a champion should be velvet calls uh lexin air bitter and velvet says that now that she's champion the mean girl era is over and then diamatte appears and calls Velvet captain save a hoe, uh, which was kind of an odd one and they had a weird little conversation about that But sign me up for diamatte versus velvet. I'm into that idea I was just kind of a weird little throw in but i'll take it get me to the match Outside of a beef. I like I like most of the the back say second. This was my Third favorite first was beef number two We'll get into which was the follow-up of a none of one of my favorite woman's rivalries on this show Uh, yes, we are going to get into that a little bit, but before we do I just want to say that With all the squashes on the show and having beef on the show We're getting like a nice little lot tundled dinner here. I feel like Getting fed getting fed onto those Well, we get lady frost back in action, which was very very nice to see She hits the frostbite from the top row on promise brackston Some good stuff there nice to see her back in action I hope she is working her way towards something is all that I really have to say about this And nice to see promise brackston getting some more reps while these texas tapings were going on Uh, what did you think? Good reaction for promise brackston and yeah lady frost looked good as always every time she's on she looks good Something happened when she started working those mexico circuits That like she just put everything together in my opinion Like she started hitting a little harder everything got more fluid like and it's been it's been really cool to see It's been really cool to see me enormous saying what's up potnas? I'm saying some blinding tonight except I saw uncle willy slap some meat when is a theta dropping the title and going to Dynamite wish I could tell you it could be final battle. It could be Whenever the pending max deal goes into effect. We'll see what happens with like rw tv ish But you mentioned willy mac and so we get to talk about willy mac who defeats exodus prime in this Um mac caught prime with a stunner climbs to the ring post and hits a big splash for a three count Uh Perfectly fine match once again neither of these guys are on the roster to my knowledge. I have been wanting willy mac back Uh, I think he's great and he was doing some really fun work Even when they let him face people other than gringo loco. He was still doing great work But this was I don't think he signed I would love for him to be signed uh, but Neither of these guys are on the roster this match was on the show like I don't I don't really don't know where to go from there but uh But fun like willy mac's always great to see and exodus prime is great too Don't know why it happened I I do think exodus prime stood out. Uh, you got a lot of offense in this match up So I would like to see more of him if you're gonna give in detail in a chance exodus prime is a good one Yes agreed very much agreed Well, we get pressed in vance defeating kevin matthews who is Wrestling for reasons he had to spine buster and a big lariat on km I will say km was a good person to have in the ring just from just from like a size standpoint And he knows what he's doing in their standpoint. He's a producer. Not sure Like he's not like jimmy jacobs. You know what I mean? He jimmy jacobs was integral to this brand and deserves all the pyro he could get But this was this was perfectly fine pressed advanced also gave a match Uh, our pre-match promo said he doesn't need The lfi crew. He doesn't need the dark order. He needs to find his why why he does this Um, so I I think rOH is perfectly ripe for someone like him and that I think he does need to do that I think he does need to reestablish himself. So Uh, let him Kind of find out who he is as a wrestler before you kind of throw him back onto The main roster or make any solid moves. I I think this is a good space to figure yourself out in. What were your thoughts on this? cautiously optimistic about uh, press advanced on ring of honor I think this is the right spot for him where he can further develop and have a chance to get those reps in and potentially move up the ranks But I have to be cautiously optimistic because I feel like this has happened to a few other people and Including one person that is currently the nxy champion. So I'm sure awkwardly optimistic That is fair that is very very fair I feel like it's even happened to him a little bit before not like independent of stables But I think they've been trying to like find spots for him that haven't necessarily Worked out the way we want them to for him guys get in your chats leave a thumbs up on this video We do have the tna crew coming in shortly after this who got Joel and kresta this week before Kresta steps back for a minute And Joel attempts to go solo or just just gives up. We'll see. We'll see what happens but We got sap and fuego Defeating the ace of space academy my friend ellis g and colton charles with joe alonzo uh Angelico grapeviting Nasty to get the win in this this really made me want uh A one-on-one Match Which we did jellico and lsg because I know what lsg's capable of and I know what a jellico's capable of The same way last week. I was like, oh, I'd love to see like cheeseburger and rocky romero Kind of became one of those like oh, there's there's a good singles match in there, but um lsg colton charles like very very reliable workers here to do what they had to do joe alonzo Nice to see him getting reps nice to see him back kind of on tv He was one of the security guards that marina shafir ate for dinner uh a couple weeks ago, so Uh, but I I love geos work. I think he was great in this Um and jellico's fantastic and has been underrated for quite a while. I'm glad he's getting some consistency I would like to see him get to work towards something more substantive because he is a smooth operator in there man Really good stuff. I loved the great find ending how nasty that looked and lsg's celibate when he rolled out of the ring There was like this very I'm going to use the c-word cinematic way that that came together of like him slowly rolling away Well, everybody came in to celebrate it was done so fluidly. I was like, okay, all right That felt like a match even though there was no reason for it to happen At least they tried hard on that. Uh, what did you think of our our match up here? This was this was a fun little squash match out of all the squash matches I think this will be the one I remember it a week trip now because I love hand helico I've I've really kind of caught my my fandom of an helico back again ever since he was smoking weed Um, that was a great segment over. Yeah, you know Easy to please folks. You just do a segment where it looks like you're smoking weed around a bunch of smoke We need more backstage segments with an helico because I think I could get into this But he's always great in the ring and serpentico and him make a good tag team And I thought free echo was a good match for them in this trio's match Yeah, this was fun Uh, this was one of the more entertaining things that even though it was superfluous and it really makes sense Like it was it was a fun enough match that I was in I was in it We get AR Fox who we haven't seen in a while and commander with abra jontase who I gotta say it's start starting to wear thin on me the abra jontase thing defeating briliante rb and aerial demingas commander climbing the ring post and hitting a big splash for the win uh Lot of wins via splash today like if you're going to be editing episodes together like you know That would be nice if you spread out how people were winning since three of them were won by a splash today But I am Shooting shooting star denny for the win. I think commander wrote wall Shooting star, but yeah, that's I know they all just plan together when you see when you see You see 4,000 squashes folks. It all looks like a splash My notes were probably just copied and pasted down this whole thing. Why did this match happen? Who is on what brand one by splash? It probably just got Copy pasted copy paste. Oh, yeah looks right looks right to me name Commander, I'm sure. Yeah now that I'm thinking of it more clearly. Yes. He he won with his the cool last thing he always does And he only gets with all the rig of water. So yeah, he's not getting choked out by marina schafir here, which he should have probably but That's precisely But I don't know I like commander in ar Fox together. I like seeing ar Fox. You look like he was having fun here and commander actually got a win So it's a rarity. It's like seeing a solar eclipse Yeah, they have a lot of luchadors that they have to get involved in stories It feels like beast mortos has some very definitive Plans with him and it feels like hologram obviously does as well But they have a lot of a lot of talent who I know there's obstacles with people go back to work In mexico people with visa issues and all sorts of things and injuries because it's such a high risk style Uh, but I would like to see some some more consistency with that for sure But we had a really really fun main event and boy. Oh boy Am I happy to see leo rush on my television on a weekly basis? Um, oh what we had the harley and uh ritual alluring second. Oh my gosh. What am I? Yes The mothering The mothering what am I what am I saying? Rachel Elmering or as harley calls her wreath. Uh, but yeah, yeah, why don't we talk about that real quick? I'll let you take the leads since you remembered it Uh, so so can harley karen was getting interviewed and she's coming off a loss to queen albinada So it was basically reversal of roles where racial allery cave is like, oh, is this is this wring of honor? Is this wring of honor? Oh, oh, oh harley. How you doing? And then she took back the handshake for her Would you reached out? She was like, oh, so you lost out there. Oh come up short. It's gonna be okay It's gonna be okay youngster. It's gonna be fine. I I I enjoyed Uh, Rachel Ellery giving harley karen the treatment that she gave her Previously and especially it made sense because Rachel got a win last week See this is actually week to week story telling where last week I was complaining that we didn't get a follow-up for her and harley But I like the fact that they waited to do the backstage segment after harley lost That made sense. That is where I will tip my cap to them that they proved me wrong That they have still a plan here with rachel allering and harley karen Probably the only bit of story telling that went from last week to this week on the show, but i'll take it What a creative effort there but Rachel allering doing a fantastic harley karen impression Uh, really really fun really really really fun in this And for some reason roc you're a marrow and leo rush closes out I have no idea why this was the main event at all Um, but it was a great match. It was a great match. These two familiar with each other Obviously from new japan and just clashes around the world Uh, but I uh I was glad to see this match. I have no idea why I was in the main event I don't fully know why it happened, but the the ring quality on something like this is just so high And I love getting to see rock your marin action. He um has kind of had a second wind in his career I feel like with all the front office work he's been doing But that's trickled over into the ring and it's he's he's so reliable and he's so versatile with Whoever you want to put him in the ring with like it's always gonna look good. Whether it's a hawk, uh, hoss or a taker or leo rush like it doesn't matter Like you're gonna see him put on a really great match. So loved that this closed us out What did you think of our main event? I thought this had strong storytelling with the fact that leo early on was using his speed to kind of keep The kind of older more experienced rocky on the back foot So rocky started working over his back to kind of slow him down To kind of keep him on his back and like work over like a couple of uh submissions and moves on the mat So it made sense And then leo was able to get his second wind and kind of use his speed again to hit his big move Hit the rebound stunner and then finish him off with the final hour. That was the third match that had a splash for the victory That was the one here I literally probably did that in my notes. I probably just put the wrong Wrong finish with the wrong thing story tracks But I really I really enjoyed this match. This was a very good match up I would say probably one of the better match-ups that we've seen over the last couple of weeks because rocky remeiro Is the costament professional and just so good at what he does and leo rush is just so underrated But my nitpick here You could have had this match last week to make sense of leo rush getting a tnt championship match on dynamite this week Sure could have Sure could have but lazy lazy editing Uh really handicapping the past few weeks of content truly Which is unfortunate, but what's not unfortunate is that we got the tna show on the back of this So stay tuned and give them your support. They are going to talk to you all about tonight's episode We've got this continuation of the nxt crossover. We're gonna bring them on right now. Hi Hello, Joel Joel and kresta Kresta's audio might not be working. I don't know what I should be back is reviewing me. I'm getting reviewed so hard today Well, we adore you in whatever form that you're able to appear Uh, so hello. Hello. How was our tna crew today? I had a good time with this show. It was a very welcome distraction It was a good show. I mean the main event was For me, for me at least. I don't know how Joel felt Did you guys know that there's a special tomorrow night? Oh, yeah, there's that too I did I didn't know But I would I would have guessed like I didn't know that but if you were like is there a tna special tomorrow would have been like probably What is it? It's because it's sure why wouldn't it? It happens like every other week, but I knew that because I interviewed moose that's up on sports illustrated dot com right now So look at you. Look at you Yes, did you know that moose is challenging for the tna world championship tomorrow night against nik meh? Yeah, I did I did know that because I talked to him. That's it. That's the only reason Honest to god if you were like cake Pick three things that are happening in tna impact That would have been on the list. It would have been like there is a special tomorrow and moose is challenging for the title Like that would have been it might not have been the first thing that came to know I had but it would have been like at least it probably would have been number two like of course why wouldn't it be moose? Well, there are people my bailies wrestling He will be wrestling. He is on the show. He is he's wrestling the the new x division champions Zachary went Now taking wild guests were either men on tonight's show No, of course not.
