This is the review show here on the Fightful YouTube channel. Thank you guys so much for joining us here on a Saturday night. Get those super chats in. Get those humper chats in. We're going to read every single one of them before we get off of the air tonight. Sound off on this big, huge monumental show that we watched here tonight, Irritian Fiero, crest of the star, Rick Yuchino. Thank you guys so much for joining us. And all right, ladies, I've got to be honest about something, right? I usually try to be pretty positive. I will offer constructive criticism when it is warranted, but I am not the guy that's just going to sit here and hammer home and shit on every little thing throughout the show. On the pick here, they're constructive criticism, fine. I try to keep things as professional as possible and as positive as possible. Yeah, tonight was a slog. Tonight was an absolute challenge to not that anything on the show was extraordinarily bad. Like, I'm just I was just struggling to find anything that I cared about, honestly, or something that mattered in the grand scheme of things. I was hoping for a little bit more tonight. I was left severely wanting. What did y'all think overall before we start diving into things here a little bit, Irritian? I'm kind of on the same page as you are. I wasn't truly, truly invested in most of the matches. And there's nothing wrong with that. I just felt like it wasn't the best show we've seen. It's also not the worst show we've seen. So for me, it was kind of like in the middle, I was talking a little bit about before we started streaming that I genuinely have never had this amount of notes in terms of it only being one page. I usually have pages, there's so much for me to say. And here I'm just like, this show was just not it for me, but it could have just been me, maybe the crowd, maybe our fight full collision cowboys feel differently. Cresto, what do you feel? Yeah, the queen of transparency, you know, just come evidence wrong, lay it down for us. I'm a brain man today, you know, just want to be different, cool, how cool. Honestly, like we said on the cross over here, there's no cross over here. I have something positive to say about everything. Hi, I enjoyed it. I don't know. It's just me, maybe, maybe Kressa is just a positive person. I have something literally positive to say about every match, even the Jericho learning to you've managed to make just the Jared sympathetic. Come on now. Yeah. Come on now. Your play before we get started, can you do a, you can't see me for me. Oh my God. Yeah, okay, if you're watching, that's something to clip for the, uh, for the Twitch channel or whatever it is that we're sending clips to these days. All right. So funny. Thank you guys so much for, for tuning in with us. We're going to run down everything on the show. Get your super chats and get those humper chats and like I said, it's a guaranteed way to get your comment read on the air. Let's start with one of the things that grabbed my attention out of the game. I honestly thought this, this show had a strong start tonight because we got, we got hook. We got Samoa Joe. We got Shabbatah. That was enough for me going up against the premier athletes in this one and ladies, I am thoroughly enjoying this player coach role that Samoa Joe has, has taken on with the, the two younger talents here, like he's on the outside, he's shouting instructions. He's like cheering his guys on. He gets in there and he's whooping some ass himself and he looked really, really good. That, that one, I think he hit it on, uh, Isaiah Cassidy, where he had that, that spinning battle kick where he landed on the front and then got popped up and then hitting the cent on. Samoa Joe looks spectacular by the way. I think he's, he's shed a couple of LBs. He looks like he's in fantastic shape. Um, I'm enjoying the work that he did in this, especially when Shabbatah. Did the walk away spot and Samoa Joe was just sitting there like, that's my dog right there. I trained him. I showed him that. That's good shit. I enjoyed this one. I thought this was a lot of fun, uh, Tony Neese ends up tapping out to the arm bar, uh, by Shabbatah on this one. This one was a lot of fun and thankfully this wasn't the only time that we saw Joe hook and Shabbatah, but I'm loving the dynamic between these three already. Yeah. It's interesting. It's an amazing match because this trio is one that I like compared to a lot of trios and groups that are in AEW or some of them that I'm just like, I don't know how I'm feeling about you yet, but I do like Shabbatah hook and Samoa Joe working together. I think it's different. It's interesting and hopefully they keep going with this trio and possibly they could go towards the trio's championships. I don't know. That's just me, but I really liked them as a group. I thought it was really, really cool seeing them. And it was nice that they opened up the show because I'm like, all right, compared to the other matches and the other things that happened on the show, this was one that I really, really liked. What about you, Cresta? I too enjoyed this. That's Samoa Joe spot when Shabbatah walked away. He was like, Hey, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I thought that was so cute. Also too, I do really enjoy hook and Samoa Joe talking about the most random stuff before they most, they go commit the most violent act and credit to Nigel, because he brought up the, the, the Tarantino thing that Alex brought up, like on Twitter, almost like immediately after it happened. It's very, it's very Vincent and Jules from, uh, whole fiction. It's, it's, even training day, bro, like it's, to me, it's giving totally training day. I also wouldn't say that this match set up Nigel McGinnis for being, no, I'm sorry, is that a Tony Shavani for being low key, the biggest hater of the night. Tony Shavani said, Mark Sterling will make you hate his team just by him being out there and I'm like, oh, that's, that's out of pocket, but he's not wrong. Mark Sterling really made me hate you guys. Like, I don't know. I don't know. It's, it's small. You know what I mean? Overall too, this match was really good. I don't know what we do with the premiere athletes. You were just using them right now for what they are. They look great. They look like they shouldn't be winning stuff. That being said, I would be interested to see what a house of blacks, some most of Joseph Hookerini and Mr. Cassie O'Rishabana look like together in a tee in a trios for serious. You know what I mean? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No, for sure. And I do like that they're, and you could see it on this show with the amount of tag matches that we've had or at least the amount of trios matches, they, they are putting in work. Like Tony Khan's putting in work to kind of build up this trios division right now, which is, you know, why you have, you know, teams like, unfortunately, you know, the premiere athletes who have to bite the bullet because there are at least three or four different challengers out there right now for the bang bang scissor gang. But unfortunately, ladies, as we found out, no free bird rule. Who on God's green earth decided this shit? No free bird rule for for juice Robinson. So the bang bang scissor, not the scissor gang, excuse me, the bang bang ganger backstage. They're mad that juice can't defend the trios championships, the unified trios championships. And I'm kind of with him on this one because as long as, as, as Jay White is in the Owen heart, he going to be tied up in singles action, which means you're building up a trios division. The challenge for the trios titles when we have a number one contender, by the way, who's down to two team down to two members because you killed the other guy last week on collision. So did we really write off buddy Murphy? So we could stall a trios title match. So Jay White could compete in the Owen heart. Is this what we're doing here? Like am I connecting the dots correctly on this one, Aridian? Is that what's going on here? You know what? It's giving conspiracy theory. It really is like something is not right here. Why are they not letting juice like it just it doesn't make any sense do it. It's juice. He just came back from an injury. He's hugely over. Why are they not allowing this? I'm very, very confused. I I'm with you on that one, Rick. I think there's a conspiracy theory going around and it's not benefiting juice at all, which I in my heart still count him as one fourth of the trios tag champions. That's not in a math, baby. It is. Tonight. No, I agree. I feel like on the one hand, if you are already a champion and you choose to put yourself in a tournament like this, that's not on me. You choose to now defend your championship and this. However, the bang bang scissor gang has been a thing since before juice Robinson. I mean, since before they were trios champions, so it would make sense. But at the same time, again, if you are already a champion and you choose to answer yourself in a singles tournament, you're already part of a conglomerate, you now got to defend twice, bro. I'm. Listen, if that's the case, anybody in DS could have defended the title at any time and you know what I mean? Like, it doesn't work that way. Yeah. Undisputed era who pick a group that had too many people and you all pick a group that could be people and then pick a tag team that could have been defended. That's the point of trying to make. I get I get how much messed up I could have said if he was injured, but he's not he just doing extra shifts. So, you know, you said that do you shift? Sorry. Right. But like I'm just thinking from a strictly booking standpoint, like where I do think like from a storyline standpoint, yeah, it would, it would be make sense for Tony, kind of say, no, juice, you weren't around. You didn't win the trio's championships. You can't defend him, but if, and this is just a big if this is just me trying to connect some dots, if buddy Murphy was written off last week because they're the number one contenders of the trio's championships, that means we're not getting a trio's championship match featuring Jay White. So Jay White can compete in the Owen Hart if Jay White's going to be occupied with the Owen Hart for a little bit. Why not just let juice defend the day at trios titles and keep everything moving forward instead of like pausing this, this trio's division that you are currently trying to build up. No, it's just, it just seems like it seems counter, it's counter productive, right? Like it just seems counter productive. I see what you're saying now when you put it that way in a sense of like, if you, I don't think they wrote off buddy Matthews, yeah, buddy Matthews, I think, I think his, I think he's legitimately hurt. I'm not wishing that on him, knock, knock on wood, you know, that stuff. But I think, I mean, me is legit legit hurt. So they got to push that off. So to me, it makes sense if you put it like that. Yeah, I mean, it's, it's juice Robinson, him and Jay White interchangeable, one's a little louder grumbling, one's just a skinny grumbling, I'm sorry. Oh, one, one belongs on the honeycomb's box. All right. Anyway, so after that promo, we get our second, our second match of the night, which is the learning tree against private party. This is a match that I think went about 72 minutes, and it went about 72 long. But look, I, I'm not going to complain about getting private party, private party on my TV screen. That's my life. That's my life. I'm sorry. The learning tree thing just doesn't do it. I know there are people who are really, really into it. Oh, my buddy, SP three for one. I have not met anybody who loves learning tree. Okay. That's crazy. I got to tell you, it's not, I've seen worse, he was doing the wizard was the worst and I will. It's. Okay. No, because at least with the wizard, we got a little bit of fire. There was a magic element, you know, girl, girl, but I can say this because I'm black. Wizard a little bit too close to grand wizard. You know what I mean? I wasn't feeling that. That didn't work for me, brother, that didn't work for me, brother. Okay. You can be a sarcastic asshole and be like, you're not even 13 minutes into the show. Cress. Oh, I know. Technically, I'm not even here. So I don't even know who said that. Oh, I got you. I got you. I got you. I got you. But yeah, no. So this, this match was a thing, uh, learning tree ends up getting the, uh, the win here when the bad apple now, Brian Keith, a deck size, a Cassidy with the brass knocks allows Jericho to pick up the win and then business picked up already and because we get Joe and hook and Shabbatah, they run back out to the ring. They are saving a private party here from a further beat down at the hands of Brian Keith and, uh, and big bill, and then they Joe gets on the horn and he lays down a challenge for forbidden door. So it looks like it's going to be the learning tree versus Joe hook and Shabbatah at forbidden door. How are we feeling about that one already? Let me talk about the learning tree. You know what I think it is? I think I'm not the target demographic. Who is the target demographic? I don't know. I don't think apparently. I don't think I'm in it. Um, I do agree, um, I'm with rest on this one, we need more private party. I think that this is time to really push them. I believe that they could have some really, really great matches with top flight. They're both so young. I think those two teams could be the hardies and the edging Christian of AEW like these guys, they're still so young and they have so much that they can do. And I feel like in the next five years, we are going to see, we're going to think of them completely different, but I do love anytime that they're on the screen. Chris Jericho with the walls of Jericho had me cracking up because when any time puts, when anyone puts anyone in the submission and they're like, ask him, ask him, you know, I think that is so funny, but this learning tree for me is just not it. I did like, um, seeing Bill and Lutrosaurus. I think that, I think that would slap, um, Lutrosaurus, I need more of him. I think the learning tree versus a patriarch, that's what we need. That's, oh, yeah, oh, that's a good, that's a good call because big bill, Lutrosaurus would slap, um, Brian Keith, when he started beating up on private party and then some old joke came out. I was like, okay, great. New, new things are happening. I'm here. I'm, I'm involved. Let's get, let's get a switch of pace. So, um, I was thinking a lot of things during this match, but I think that I was not invested in this match. My mind was like, cooking other things. Yeah. Like, and Christa, I like, Isaiah Cassidy is great, but I think Mark Quinn is one of the most underrated people that Tony Khan has at his disposal. And as, as long as this match felt like it was, I didn't really feel like he got a chance to showcase himself tonight. Like, at all, it was a, it was a lot of, oh, here's big bill in the ring and he's going to beat up the smaller dudes. Like, that's what I felt like I was watching. No, I totally agree. And what I take away from the learning tree is that over, over Lee sarcasm and the learning tree is big bill. He's literally the size of a freaking tree. Um, Mark Quinn was selling tonight. He, he was. Hey, guys, I'm here to tell you about eBay auto eBay motors is the leading online platform for automotive dealers to get their inventory in front of over 7 million ready to buy shoppers who are buying cars and trucks on eBay motors every three minutes, every single day.

You can shop parts on the eBay motors app. And with their eBay guaranteed fit, it is guaranteed to fit your ride every time. Head over to eBay.com and find what's right for your ride. That's eBay.com. And his ass looked, I believe that I believe that he was dying in that ring this evening. Again, I will never complain about more private party on our screen. And I want to second what already and said, that looking at people like private party and top flight, these could be your edge in Christian, your mat party. Even you get a third, your house of black could literally be your Dudley boys. You have these people here and I want to see them progress. Now hear me out. Hear me out. Hear me out. If we all hate Chris Jericho, right? You go and want him to lose and by him losing eventually, it'll put over younger talent. So much like with TNA in this system, you got a bunch of people that we don't like. This guy is playing his role. That's why I think it's good. He's getting under people's skin, getting on their nerves with them. I'm here. You guys are great. Yeah. Whatever. But in turn, when the top flight beats him, when a private party beats him, how would the boys beat him, we'd still be okay with it. You know what I mean? And we'd be like, you know what? I'm here for this. I like this. I'm now the FTW champion. There's no longer in the vice group by this guy. So I don't hate it because I see the long term vision. And I know I'm the only one who don't hate it. I look, you got to give credit where it's due there, right? We're supposed to hate it. He's a heel. Like it's a heel group. Okay, we're not supposed to enjoy it. And that's why I want to see Samoa Joe and Hook stomp these three dudes out and Shavon. Just like everybody's getting murdered over on the other show now. Can we just commit murder now? Like, you know, can we pretend like this is TNA and we can throw the tree in a woodchipper and, you know, eat the apple and, you know, whatever we got to do to Big Bill, you know, can we just go that direction? Is there any more puns that can grow out there? Fight for TNA's life, but it's not wrong. Like, you say, throw him in a woodchipper, yeah, they would set him on fire, put this one on the apple. Yeah, somebody would eat him like every day I got a fight for my life like this app. Oh boy, all right, Iranian. What did we think of Ocada versus Ultimo Guerrero? That was our next match on the show. This was a sigh of relief for me. When that coin dropped, I said, thank God, we are getting Ocada. I'm ready for it. I'm here for it. And I didn't like, I don't look at what the card is for the night before collision starts. So all of these matches, I'm always surprised by I'm like, Oh, awesome, great. We're Timo Guerrero's coming now. I believe they said he was from Gomez Palacio, which is from where Andrade is. And I said, lovely, great, the same kind of style. That's where we're getting Lucha. And Ocada. I was like, sir, you are not going as hard as I thought you were going to go. And we're Timo Guerrero. I felt like he was like taking it seriously. He's like, all right, like I'm going to prove a point here. And then we get to the end of the match. And Ocada rips this man's mask off and I said, Oh, Ocada, you are a true heel right now. This is not you. This is not your personality. What is going on right now, sir? But that I was like, okay, I'm here for it. I thought this was a good match. Kristin? I agree. I agree that. Sorry. Ultimo Guerrero was the only one taking that match series. Every time Ocada would do something and would go to hard camera, just lean on the camera on the ropes. I was like, okay, stop it. You've been hanging out with Matthew and Nicholas too. Who? Who? I'm better than this. When he took off this man's mask, it's like, oh, you healed it up for real. It tracks, but it's one of those things when you want to be like, Ocada, I know you're better than this. Stop hanging out with those thugs, Ocada. First off, I think he took the mask off too much, right? Like when he, when he did unmask him came off, I said, we didn't care and then the whole thing can't. So, and then he had to slow down and wait for him to put the mask back on. And then he hits Rainmaker so damn hard. The mask came off again and it's just like the camera couldn't even show the man down on the mat, you know, and I look, I'm not trying to focus on negatives here. I agree with the, you know, comment made in the chat here. It was a little slower than I was anticipating, like, and I think part of that is so much of AEW is, is so fast paced that when we do get a slower match, it's a, it can drag as a result of that. And yeah, this, this one just kind of dragged for me. It also felt a little bit, felt a little bit basic. I was expecting more and, you know, I would, and an Ocada match, you know, with, with Baltimore Guerrero involved, like I was expecting more and I do agree with Chris. I think he'll Ocada is great. He is a complete and total troll. He's playing this role really, really well. For me, this match was just kind of okay, but we all, we also have to think of like how much Ocada's character right now with the EVPs has to play into him having matches now, that he's kind of like chill, relaxed, not taking everything too serious. Like he knows he's up there. He's top talent. He doesn't have to work his heart. He doesn't have these things anymore. So I think that that's also something that we should take into consideration. But before we do move on, we have a super chat. Yep. I was getting to it. I was getting to it. Yeah. I was getting to it. We got, we got to here just Ricardo saying, hello, colliders, all capital letters here. Rick, Irriti and Krista. Hi. Love you. Thank you so much. We appreciate that as well. And then Matthew Hooks throwing in for back for the learning tree conversation for saying, for as rough as it has been, the learning tree has more story than Cody's title reign right now. So which one is actually worse learning tree by far? Yes. I would say Cody is the champion of the company. You know, I'm not going to remember what Chris Jericho did in two weeks. But I will remember that Cody's working with the bloodline. He's got CM Punk. Like right now, there's so many things. I'm going to remember that I quit match. I'm going to remember the setup for the I quit match. I think his title reign did start off a little bit slow with the, Hey, I'm a Georgia boy. You're a Georgia boy. Let's go wrestle in France. All right. Like I, it was a little bit of a slow start, but that match was spectacular. Then they come around. They do the Logan Paul stuff. That was a good one off. They circle back to AJ and things got really, really personal between them. And now I'm intrigued to see as he continues with this bloodline saga that he has been sewn into for the last two years and moved before with solo. I disagree with that. I think there's a lot, a lot cooking with Cody right now on the, on the other program. But let's continue here with AEW collision. We get the patriarchy and the iron savages with Jack Jamison. Yeah. Can we all agree? No more Jack Jamison on the microphone. Hey, happy pride titty city. I don't know. I, I don't hate it when I, you know, I'm always intrigued. I'm like, I always wonder, what are they going to say this time? Which is something that is really rare. I think some people's mic skills have not been up to par. So I feel like this is a little refreshing. I don't hate it. It straddles of the line. I will say it does remind me of beginner Max Kaster and beginner MJF where it was almost razors as we're saying, ooh, but hopefully you're kind of like, oh, all right, all right. He said titty cities. I forgive you. It's fine. I don't know. It just seems like I've seen this same bit done. They like two different indie shows in this town and it just feels like a, a small indie bit that's now being portrayed on, on national television. But what you're saying is titty city is not for you. No, it's not for you. No, not, not those titties. No, I'm good there on that one personally, but look, this, this, this match to me was all about Christian. I think Christian made this match by not even competing in the damn match. This dude came down and goes straight up to the commentary table and leaves his boys out there to do a two on three handicap match. And they will dance. They absolutely owned luchas or should have won this, excuse me, kill switch, should have won this match on his own. He completely dominated it. He was cooking tonight. I enjoyed watching a kill switch get the job done here. But like he was almost forced and coerced really to tag Nick Wayne at the end, Nick Wayne who screwed up at the beginning right by, by show boating and he got, you know, his head knocked off and he had to tag in kill switch, kill switch is all business. He goes in and he dominates the entire match, has to tag in Nick Wayne, who then turns around and waits for Christian to march his ass down to the ring. He tags in, has his boy stand him up. He drops him with the un prettier or the kill switch. It's confusing that there's two kill switches now and he gets the win. And then he does the Jack Perry thing where he's like, hoist me up my good, sir. And he is celebrating on top of those shoulders and kill switch Christian cages and menace to society. And I, I hope he wrestles until he's 65 years old. I genuinely do a radiant, you know, it's crazy. I think that this match was so good because Christian wasn't in it for the first half. And that's no shade to Christian half, 98% of it. Okay. Now for 99% of the match, Christian cage was not there. And I think that's why it was so good. We got to see Nick Wayne cook. We got to see Luchasaurus in their fighting with big, meaty men. Like this is what we've been wanting to see. And the fact that Christian went immediately to commentary and Nigel was ready, standing up, clapping, giving an ovation. He said, finally, finally he got up and gave his seat to Mama Wayne. I was like, okay, chivalry is not dead. I don't care what anybody says. Nigel got up. Let that woman sit down. And he was like, um, what was he talking about? Like, oh, you wouldn't know anything or a Christian was saying that maybe, you know, women like men who are confident Shavani. And that's, you would know that if you had a woman, like you said, you would know how it feels. Something about being a father, you had five chances at it. I was like, Nigel, you ought to go one on one with Tony Shavani, bro. This was so crazy. Nigel was ruthless tonight. He gave Mama Wayne a kiss on each cheek. He was like, here you go, like, have my seat in saying full, clownery from Nigel tonight. And I'm really glad that we got to see Nick Wayne and Lucas Sores because these are the guys that we know can have fantastic matches if given the opportunity, I feel like going forward, they need to do this more because I'm like, it does make sense. You can have two on three because these guys can, you know, would make up like three people technically. I feel like which source makes up like three people by himself. So I thought this was really, really good. And it was just also highlighted by Nigel on commentary. It was good. Yeah. So when Christian Cage does absolutely nothing, but then takes all the credit like when Lucas Sores, like a year ago, when Lucas Sores won the TNT championship and then it's Christian hoisting it up didn't even let the man touch the belt. The savagery of it. I love him. I love him so much. This dinosaur is ready to snap. If I'm this dinosaur, and even if I got two brain cells, they're right now competing for supremacy, should I bite him or should I bite him? I feel like they had been teasing the tension between these two for a year almost at this point. Like it's been a long time coming like people want to complain about the slow burn with Otis and Chad Gable. This has been 10 times as long. I want to even say this harkens back to MJF and Wardlow at the while we were like, all right, when is this going to happen? Also I want to highlight how we have two identical matches back to back. If you want to get technical, an enhancement and then a generational talent with two younger guys and how one was treated with more story and respect than the other, how Chris Jericho was actually in the last match and in this match we're like, Christian case didn't even wrestle and we're not even complaining about that. We felt that that enhanced it. I think that if we take a comparison just for the sake of saying something positive because you know I'm transparent today. But I think that they could benefit from learning more from one another because I think there is something there with the learning sheet with the sarcasm that over I'm here to help just like I'm father of the year. These are my children. It's very Nicki Minaj you bitches are my sons go sit on the potty. You can do it for one. You can do it for the other and I think it's completely look at tonight. Look at tonight. I sold not a man thing came in there did this man's finisher move Chelsea Greeds move this dinosaur's name and then forgot to almost take the big big way for the pit. The worst he's the worst dad like I would rather you go for cigarettes and I'll come back. Oh my goodness but these three got to win the trio's titles at some point right like. Oh no I don't know I don't know I that's when kill switch turns on him when you face the black and the dinos had it the dinos mechanic. Maybe that's the only thing that I can't stand about this is the consistent insistence on on Christian's part that winning the trio's titles is somehow somewhat going to help him get to the AW world championship like I yeah I see that but I also yeah I do believe that they need to have a run sooner rather than later because I do want to kill switch turn and I feel like a perfect time for him to do so is let them have a really great run as trio's champions really show off Nick Wayne really show off kill switch and then have them lose those championships to who I don't know but that's when kill switch would turn her in house of black and they beat the brakes off him in the dinosaur said this is it this is it I'm out and then he joins the house of black I would live I would live I would live from who to source and house of black I would live I would already got the evil shredder gear like my body's well just let it go get Tony don't hurt him Rick don't hurt him with all these you just got back after how long Rick don't hurt him don't hurt him oh man Tony Storm Mariah May versus Layla Hirsch and Lady Frost and I first off before I forget to say this uh Lady Frost was cooking out there she was spectacular in this match I need more of her on my TV screen but that said Tony Storm was the star of the match for me from a character standpoint this woman went all out ladies all out to protect Mariah May and just showcase her affection for the entire world to see this woman threw herself on top of Mariah May to eat a moonsault from Lady Frost to protect Mariah broke up the two count ends up hitting a storm zero on Layla Hirsch and then allows Mariah to get the one two three for the victory and it was cuddles all around after that aridian like I'm I'm very intrigued about I'm wondering if there's going to be a point I don't know how to book it I've been trying to I've been thinking about it but I'm sitting here like I'm wondering if there's going to be a point at forbidden door where Tony Storm is going to have to decide between retaining the AEW championship or retaining Mariah May's affection like I feel like there needs to be some kind of a boiled down decision here of what's going to happen with with Tony Storm what does she really care about more you think it's going to be like an MJF Adam Cole story where they're like I don't know who's going to turn on who first I love you right now but I don't know what's happening I feel like Tony is really trying to win over Mariah's affection like proving to her that she's okay I really do appreciate you as as a friend as an admirer as an athlete you know because Mariah's attention has also been elsewhere lately someone else is also trying to get her attention so Tony's like wait wait if she leaves I'm not really going to have anybody to protect me to defend me to fight my battles for me so I think sooner rather than later Mariah's not going to pick Tony and that's when Tony's going to be like wait and then that's when she'll lose her championship I don't know who's going to be the next champ but man well as Chris brings up Mariah Mae could win the Owen Hart and then she'd have to face Tony at all ends so that would be a very very interesting diamond but this field is stacked yeah like next week we're getting Deanna and Hikura Shida like what ladies we're eating good next week we really are we need to have two out a two hour show of just the women's Owen Hart you need to add a whole nother bracket and of course next week is one where I'm not here because I have to do a radio show like god damn it anyway crazy I honestly don't know how this is going to end I've always thought in my mind Tony Storm and Mariah Mae is when Tony Storm finally wins over Mariah Mae's affection and Mariah Mae is like well now I want to be you and Tony's like all right slow down all right all right there's only one star here you're the stunt double at best and Mariah Mae is going to be like under study under study no no no no no this I'm the star I'm never sick I'm never sick I'm here for all of my performance seven days a week Rick you know what I mean that's that's where she's the type of time on that's what I've always thought I don't see Mariah turning on her I see Tony Storm turning on Mariah like no I'm the star yeah you're Mariah okay and you were coming out to my old gear was cute I wasn't using it but now you're doing a lot and you're getting and she gets paranoid unless Mariah unless Tony Storm does something that Mariah says is too far but I don't see that happening yeah I mean I do think it's a foregone conclusion that that Tony's going to beat Mina at sadly I agree but it doesn't mean the match isn't going to be good right like predictable is predictable does not mean it's going to be bad Serena deep has issued an open challenge for next week as well so hey two ladies matches next week for y'all she wants to remind herself who she is after a series of losses here she start off the year six and oh she's now dropped to six and three who would you guys like to see Serena deep wrestle next weekend oh my god I don't know I'm my brain just said Joe Henry yo this man has been all my brains wrestling I can't do anything out here that damn song the man who got the trick Williams camera shake and his first night on NXT crazy I love Joe Henry is he coming up on stream could you imagine I thought he was going to do that I didn't mean that I just hit the new button I thought Joe Henry was about to log into the stream guys oh my god we should have set that up beforehand we should have tried to work on that you know anybody I'm so sorry I think Camille brick but I know that's not going to happen oh no I wouldn't mind seeing her and Deanna again I thought that was great the first time that we saw her so I think it would be great maybe Lady Frost we saw her tonight yeah maybe Frost could be great could be could be Tyya Valkyrie I heard she's yeah that's who I was gonna say I'd like to see her and Tyya throw down for sure um we had a house of black in an enhancement match tonight going up against uh LDL and HDL the cholesterol twins uh easy nights people are not their names Rick oh my god here we go again Rick hating on the jobbers of the night I am so upset like first of all they came in they were like L.S.G. and M.S.G. which I wrote question mark question mark I was like there's no way please guys and then we didn't give them a little intro song no nothing nothing how so why I got their names right was because Nigel said L.S.G. and M.S.G. the two reasons stay away from Chinese food and Tony said that's not true at all Tony was ready he was not ready for his dad against today he was not in sane and then I was disappointed it was literally a two minute match maybe a shorter than that I was like guys come on we really need to start doing something because the women had one match tonight and like you couldn't have given maybe a couple more minutes to them if you weren't gonna actually what did this do for the house of black nothing you could do anything for the house of black I mean if you wanted to do that we feel nothing thing afterwards or and Malachi you know telling Ian like what a what a human question right like what a human question and then Brodie Lee those just Brodie Lee excuse me sorry Brodie King was saying you know hey we we feel nothing like okay that's that's a thing that could have happened this whole thing this whole thing could have been an email all right the whole thing could have been an email 15 seconds backstage done and I didn't I'm just gonna go ahead and say that's cap that's like Rick's cap because y'all ran back stage when buddy was laid out so don't say you don't feel nothing like that's cap that's that's cap or you're right though that's a good point that's a good point friendship like Malachi's Malachi's eyes almost jumped out of his frickin head last week when he saw Brodie laying back there or buddy laying back there I can't get anybody's names right it is way too late now uh yeah this didn't do a whole lot for uh for me I could have done without this match tonight but I'll never complain about uh I'll never complain about that you know my screen 10 out of 10 and people just go whoo whoo whoo and you know honestly I just go bark like crazy Brodie King on the screen too I get it I get it uh did uh Hachissero versus daddy magic do anything for y'all tonight aridian I was clapping okay it she said okay mom and I said oh my god here we go love him he fire comes out I don't know from where but I'm here for it but daddy magic coming out and I was like oh no sir this is not good for you senior daddy magic this is not going to be your night his ribs were taped up I said this is not good this is not good this is the end he's going to be out from the jeans like girl I know I like I think he knew he was going to get his ass whooped like he didn't even bother putting on his gear he's just he's just like I got the jeans I'm just gonna take the shirt off tape me up real quick I'm gonna go out there I'm gonna pay check tonight like I immediately knew I was like this is not good I felt so bad there's my my heart dropped to my stomach and this match actually went on longer than I thought it would I was admit I thought I'm gonna be very short as well yes and Hachissero was not holding back which I appreciated that armbar and crazy crazy yeah we got two matches tonight the end of an armbar submission like what are we doing I didn't mind it I didn't mind this one this one was different though at least he uses leg on this one yeah by the way not Nigel calling the tape a girdle by the way that man is that man was on one tonight Krista I will say I feel like they could have used somebody else for this I I like how we've been using daddy magic and building him up if he's injured he's injured if this is for a Daniel Garcia versus Hachissero okay I'm not mad about that but we don't need to sacrifice poor Mr. Menard who again his ribs is being held together by Kinesio tape and the specter Bob Backlin no Bob Backlin ain't dead but his specter is still out there holding some of these wrestlers together and and doing it piggy bagging off of what you said Krista I think they could have had daddy magic out there and then immediately daddy Garcia's music and be like no no no you can't yeah I'll fight the match for you like something like that you know that would add a little bit you know something more compelling but what did this do for daddy magic I've again where are we going with some of these matches that we had tonight yeah real quick before we get to our our main event well first off we got two other

chats i'll make sure to read every single one of them uh before we get out of here today uh ladies the best thing on this entire show tonight outside of christian cage uh his savagery and what samoa joe did tonight uh was this video package they put together for jeff jared right because a lot of people i say that the iwc let's just call what it is a lot of people online with keyboards were bitching about jeff jared being included in the oh and heart cup tournament uh and so they put together this beautiful video package of double j talking about why this is so important to him how reminding folks how close he was uh to oh and heart how close he was to his family uh brought up uh you know even his friendship with with tobi keith and and made that work here saying look he knows he's not as good as he used to be right he's not making uh you know he's not going to come out there and say that he's still the greatest and he can still go the you know the way that he used to but he feels like he could string three matches together good matches together as best as he's ever had come up with three wins and and win the oh and heart which would mean more to him than any of his 12 world championships and you could genuinely tell how much this meant to him uh already i'm fighting back tears through a lot of this stuff and i don't think jeff jared's that good of an actor i think this is a genuine this was genuine emotion we saw tonight i think this is the first time that i've seen something that jeff jared's been in and mind you i have seen very minimal of jeff jared besides what has been made of you but i'm like oh wow this is this is great to see you know this is something different this is kind of what i've been waiting for i haven't been able to make a connection to jeff jared until right now until tonight's promo and i think this is what a lot of people have been missing from jeff jared and his crew in general is something to connect to and now we're like oh okay i see it start giving us more of these promos tell us that really tell us who he is that why he's he's wrestling you know what what's who is jeff jared like we need to see more of this side of jeff jared because i think sometimes you know we get lost in the sauce of like all this faction i don't really like it or you know what are they doing but this was something that a lot of people can't do in wrestling and it's like make a connection so this is rare and i think that he did a great job tonight i really like the promo cressa what did you think i had said this before he went on air and i think that something a ew excels at is making tournaments feel very important and this added a layer to it and it's easy to like you said it's easy to get lost in the sauce especially with people who are really good heels mjf jeff jared j lethal hell even people like no people who you just ready orton to an extent people who you just hate because they're scumbags you can forget that these are human beings and jeff jared this promo made him look so human i am i rooting for jeff jared in the old part cut that's how good it was i want because i think i know he's not doing if he muscles heel even if he hits everyone with the guitar we're like you know what always said you ate that yes yes you can make it to the final he can give him give the man two guitar shots and make it to the finals but he's not winning like i i think i think he would win if the winner wasn't getting the title shot at wendly right i think that's that that's the big hat like you're not going to give jeff jared a title shot at at all in like that just doesn't that just doesn't seem like something that they would do now maybe i'm wrong now if the audience gets behind them and you start getting that sympathy built up and you have people who genuinely come out in droves and want to see him win the oh and heart tournament maybe maybe you could fly with that but i don't know it's still stack field like i i'm gonna be honest with you too rick though but let's say let's say he does win would you feel bad of swerve beat him you wouldn't you wouldn't you would feel great for him to have that moment but you wouldn't feel bad of swerve beat him or if osprey beat him you wouldn't feel bad you wouldn't feel bad and that's how i'm thinking about it long term you would feel bad if the daniel garcia lost it you would feel bad if a ricky starks lost it so jeff jared good for you friend you're not beating swerve you cut a promo on a baby not happening you brought up will osprey he will be fighting for the aww world title and forbidden door next sunday uh the thirtieth of this month but he uh defended his international title against brian cage tonight in a match that uh i genuinely enjoyed like i and the crowd finally woke up a little bit uh on this one already and they were behind this one uh will osprey is a firecracker but i thought brian cage more than held his own in this one this is a dude who showed off his his strength and his power but not only that is athleticism this man hit a spinning power slam from the middle turnbuckle on on will osprey he caught him uh out of the air plucked that man out of the air on the first oscotter attempt uh it took a poison rana uh to even have osprey hit and oscotter and even that wasn't enough he needed to hit the uh the hidden blade to get the win on brian cage i thought this was a strong title defense uh for for will osprey tonight and you know one of those kind of one of those moments where i think you know if people are sleeping on brian cage and his ability like they maybe this woke him up a little bit rindian yeah i think this was the match of the night absolutely will osprey has not had a bad match yet and that's crazy to say and he also has this power to also make his opponent look fantastic and that's exactly what happened tonight with brian cage i was like okay brian cage have i been like sleeping on brian cage like that's crazy you know i think he really showed up and showed out and it's crazy because he's such like a big guy right and against someone like will osprey who's also extremely athletic they were kind of going toe to toe so i was like interresante here i really was like kind of rooting for brian cage i was like i know will is gonna win will is fantastic but okay brian cage i see you i acknowledge you and i'm gonna watch you now i i get it i get it sorry you said the a word anyway uh christa go ahead now i've been watching brian cage for a long time and in aEW they keep him as a big man but brian cage can wrestle lucha style he he can do the flips he's a good base he's so good and i think that will osprey is up there with aj styles and brian daniel's sin even in the even kind of south rolens if you have a bad match with one of these guys it's kind of you bro like they will pull it out they will drag every bit of wrestling ability you have out of you to make you look amazing brian cage did everything i believe anyone in that situation would do you want to keep osprey grounded every time he went for a hurricane ronner he caught him and either slammed that man or did a german suplex which i think is smart but osprey he's the goat for a reason not because he's an animal i mean he is an animal but he is the one of the greatest of all time you can't ground and pound him because he'll beat you at that you can't submit him because he'll beat you at that you can't out like high fly him because he'll beat you at that how do you deal with will osprey maybe take away one of those and this is nothing against cage cage urn i feel like if you were sleeping on brian cage wake up he's here and i hope they let him wrestle a more athletic style going forward you know what i want to see now kresta because you you bring that up for a big man being able to wrestle like that i want to they have two guys like that i want to see brian cage versus ward low but i don't want a big meaty meat man match i want ray misterio versus psychosis via 1996 like i want those guys wrestling he's a high flyer he is he is a high flyer this guy this is a guy who can do a lot of really athletic moves i've talked to the man this is a guy who grew up the size of jeff hardy and then he was a late bloomer and he just packed on the frickin muscle i won't doubt you but i gotta see it because i'm i'm i'm thinking is it all but i'm sure that's that's gonna be a that's definitely a case of like ripplies believe it or not um because i think that you would get a high flying match from like luchosaurus against brian cage you know because we've seen it out of luchosaurus before you would even do um keep cleave you know please i don't see ward low that's just me though that's just me that's just me you know i outside of a couple of centon bombs they've really never let him showcase it like at all i would have to see because i think of ward low doing a moonsaw and i'm thinking of broccoli after doing a moonsaw and i'm like please ward low no god please no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no trust me trust me trust me ward low ward low's got the grace all right he he can pull it off okay he's he's another one of these guys that i'm like i believe in ward daddy i believe i believe if you believe i believe he's from the great state of ohio i believe in him even if he's from the worst city in cleveland all right aridian what's uh course city in ohio city in ohio uh no that's a lie i know because y'all understand until ito exists so anyway uh but uh aridian we're
