BOOKERMAN - Give Thanks For Violence Fantasy Tournament - With Chip Woods

Hello and welcome to another episode of Armbar Audio. I'm your host, Tim Farley. The next to me is my trusted

companion. John Kerns. What's up everybody today. We're coming at you with another fantasy chart, another installment of poker main series. We're coming at you with a fantasy tournament, which we have titled it. Give thanks for filing or going on the, uh, we're on that Thanksgiving trend. We wanted this out before Thanksgiving, but you know how

things go? Yeah, man, we're three adults. We got jobs and

shit. And especially around the holidays. Makes me not want to do

anything else. We don't get paid off this shit, man.

Give me money, sign up and say,

we've been doing this

for three years.

Anyway, we are here again with the Booker man

himself ship. That's going on, people. How you doing today? Happy Thanksgiving. Happy holidays there buddy. Got another poker man championship fantasy tournament here. So it'd be pretty good.

Oh yeah. So we decided we wanted to do a tournament. Uh, and we were gonna all, we were going to do it like a traditional 16 man, since there's three of us, we were each going to pick four and then we would do a unanimous one. The unanimous wrestler, as you could see on the screen, the wrestlers here, a unanimous, unanimous choice was Jonathan. Um, we'll pick five. And then

I did math in my head, like,

wait a minute. Who, who picked, who? Remember?

I have it in a note, but

I picked Shingo Alexander.

Tim, you picked Shingo black

agent gray, the motherfucking truth and the walking

weapon. George Alexander ship chose Adam Kobe moose, uh, Johnny rustling, Johnny Gargano and kill across. I chose the ticking time bomb, uh, big breakfast, young dumb, and broke. Jordan Oliver. Fuck. Yeah, the tweener Kenya mega fit Bauer and dashing. Wonderful unanimous entrance, none other than the, uh, member of the foundation, if they are even a thing anymore. I don't know.

I hope they are the octopus, the octopus.

What? One of the luckiest man alive. So yeah, the field Shango cross omega

in Beller and John put them into a randomizer and this is the field. This

is what the range of minds are spread out. Uh, first of all, first match on the card is in LIJ battle. Uh, her rheumatologist. Again,

we have the current new Japan champion, heavyweight IWG world heavyweight champion against the junior AEs. Uh, Hiromi Takahashi. And as much as I love talking to she, uh, it is not his time. The rampage dragon would put him to bed, uh, after probably I would say after probably 20, 20 minutes of fighting also, uh, this is like JCW and ECW rules where, uh, uh, outside objects are not encouraged, but they're not discouraged either.

and they are very,

what do you

say? I,

so I actually, I think Shingo would go over as well. Um, as much as I love him, he was my pick,

but

yeah, I mean, Shingo

is

the rampage dragon, and he's on the top of his game right now. He's he's peak shingle right now.

Uh,

so yeah, it would be an awesome back and forth contest and there would be a lot of sportsmanship involved. Here's their stable mates, absolute

Shipton. Based off some of the messages that I have just watched students, just his base. He think he's a beast. It looks like he looks like he could take just about anything you handle. And then, so, uh, I'm going to go ahead and make this.

She didn't go and was on the second round. Now, going over to the other side of the bracket, the first match over there is the leader of Louis and go over and all his day opponent against the walking weapon. Josh Alexander, uh, Josh Alexander has had an outstanding year. Uh, he's been featured prominently on the independence.

I'm not extremely from my super familiar with jobs Alexander. The most I know about him is in the north with, uh, all Ethan Page. So I know him more as a texting wrestler. This guy's got math skills. He definitely technical and all aspects tough. He's got the size, I think. Nice takes this. Uh, Josh, Josh Alexander could not, I don't wanna say one-trick pony, but he kinda sticks to one set in my view.

something and like, does this high-impact neck breaker type deal? I, I don't know. I haven't seen it in a while. I'll be like floats over them into like, come on.

You're talking about the Destino. He grabs like a headboard and then flips over them. And it ends up being like a reverse dating tape.

So chips go with NATO, John, who

I'm actually going to go. Josh, why

don't we go off the beaten path?

Well, because like Josh Alexander, I mean, yeah, NATO has all these tricks up his sleeve, but that's only sort of to piss off Josh Alexander

and

we just saw George Alexander shortly holding the impactful title before somebody else on this tournament took it away from him. So I'm going to say Georgia was Andrew was going to just broaden his way to the winter.

Those make convincing arguments. I think the experience in the ICU and the versatility of night tow takes nights to the second round. So I'm sorry, John. But the second round goes, NATO's going to the second round. It's

okay. All right.

Now we're going to talk about, we have over on the left side again, we've got dash and Chris bay, the newest member of the pool, and it was one on one against former board member. And I'm told bay

bay, I said this,

that's why I'm saying the fact that this was randomized crazy,

right? I'm going to say this. Uh, Chris bay is a promising talent. Uh, this match would be really. But Adam cool. Would super kick him like he did to ricochet somehow like off of the spring. Yeah. Tempt or some flip Adam Cole would just catch him. Right. And fucking mid air, uh, and Adam Cole. And that I'm cool. So it was about two feet taller and about a hundred pounds more. It would've been the universal champion and the WWE about a year or two years ago.

And I'm cold bay bay. What about you chip?

He said that any better. So I sort of watched the Brisbane masters, so I watched a little, so I've watched the more I watch the one print him and change. Yeah, which was pretty nice. I liked Chris bay, but not as much. So like Adam Cole seems like, seems like they're getting ready to start with the undisputed super quick, but it seems like for now anyway. Um, and so co Riley,

he comes over and then omega comes back eventually and lets heads with Adam. Cool. Would she kind of like, yeah, there's going to be versus the undisputed, whatever they want to call them whenever.

Yeah. He's got the skill, Adam Cole, my he's the modern day. Shawn Michaels to be

absolutely 100% Adam Cole, maybe a little less athletic, but definitely. With the build and the charisma charisma. Yeah. Yeah. I remember when I first started getting back into wrestling, I got up pro wrestling illustrated. Adam Cole had just come onto the scene and they said that like then years ago, like before it was in ROA that he would be the next show. I'm like, yeah,

guys just he's got, yeah,

he's got, he's got it, John

is, if I know it doesn't matter because we both said I'm cool. I know.

All right. I mean, it's that?

All right. So that sets up Shingo and Adam. Cool. For the second round, let's go over to the other side.

Here's. How about killer cross against the supernova current champion of Noah? uh, the other cross, just coming off with WWE release, where he was carrying cross. Um, if we're talking like kayfabe or like Canon in the rest of the universe crosses coming in, looking approved. So

yeah, we got, we got killer cross who's, uh, who did well and NXT got shit on, on, in WWE. Raw did well in impact did well in Mexico and on the ground. Uh, he, he has the, uh, he has a kind of fighter background. Uh, he can hit you with a submission. He can hit you with a strike, but so can knock a Gemma. Gemma, I believe is a second degree. Black belt in karate. You may have other things behind him. He's been wrestling since the age of 15. And he's only 33 years old.

30, 60 per

the first round. We can't do that first round.

It's going to be 17 hours long fantasy. Yeah. Crossword immediately try to use the size advantage against hockey jam up and it wouldn't work. Uh, knock the genders too quick. Mr. Smart. So what that

worked? So. Hammond Keno. If he wouldn't have attacked Kenna's leg in the beginning, that match would have went a different way. Of course, I'm talking about the GHC verse. GHC no of the best 2021. Um, but the fact that he was smart enough to go after that leg, uh you're right. Something he would, he would go after a body part that cross would not be able to recover for

knees legs. Yeah. Because dross cross has a size advantage against just about anybody who's in the west. Um,

but

size doesn't win, fight

fighting spirit does

spirit does. And Nakajima has that in spades.

My God fucking, I can't believe. The matches I've seen of Nakajima most of them, I can't believe he's come out alive, let alone win or draw. Absolutely.

Absolutely. So, yeah, you're not the gym as well, because I think,

and it's not

nothing in this means that the other guys bet, but like CROs wouldn't know how

to handle him right away.

And right then and there you've lost a match.

Yeah. I th I think it really comes down to, uh, like I said, I think the end would be a knockout, but it comes down to the spirit of the fighter. And Nakajima like you said, he has it in spades. I don't think cross could put that guy down.

Ah, cross. Caribbean slash killer cross is raw. How he comes out. You like a freight train all the time. I feel like that's that? That's a bad technique. I mean, I, it works for him. It really works for him. Um, but I think he comes at headfirst. Boom, boom, boom, boom, Jima thinking, man, like you said, he's going to take a body part and start working on it. If that doesn't work, it doesn't work. So we'll pick another one.

Um, if that doesn't work, he's just going to straight up kick,

kick your chest. I see this one tiny little draw and I see Nakajima throwing his hand over a, just beat down cross as Tom's taken away. Just slapping their hand on top, like boom for 1, 2, 3 with like three seconds. Uh, I feel like this one just goes, I mean, they'd go at each other, boom, one freight train, you know what I mean? Brown's on about sex and I think it comes away with the victory of this.

All right. So that sets up, knock a Gemma against Knightstone the first round. Yeah.

Which, um, funny enough is a match that could very well happen on January 8th, 2022

versus new Japan. Uh, so let's go to the bottom half and our unanimous choice, Jonathan Gresham against Mel, the leader of the house of black with

the best match graphic render of all time. Right. That he just got an AWS.

I will say this. Uh, when I looked at this bracket, this match out of all the ones in the first round, this match is the. To choose Malika black is taller than Jonathan Gresham, but Jonathan Russians built like a brick shit house. Jonathan. Gresham's great. Technically that's like his forte, but Malakai

black

is also very good technically, and he has the finesse and he has the strikes. Jonathon has strikes too, but like I said, this tournament is under JCW ECW rules. We have a man touting, pure wrestling and grappling, I guess the man who by any means necessary. Right. And with that, I will not make my choice. I will leave it to you guys to discuss.

So for me, this comes down to what happens for. Does matter, I hit that take first or just brush and get them into a hole.

Um, I seen, he goes for the kick right away and Gresham gets him into a leg lock and then it starts, it starts, the wrestling

basically eliminates the black mass of why gout or whatever it is calling it now.

Well, you never know because every time you thought he was caught in something against Cody or whoever in a w he flipped that shit around real quick, real quick. It's not going to be a walk in the park, Jonathan,

none at all. And Malika is always able to wiggle his way out of any hole I've ever seen him. Um, he's much like Virginia in that way, but, uh, something that Malka has in his arsenal now that he didn't before that is utilized many times already in a w is that. Now that miss

takes people up and it's not illegal

and it's not

illegal wellness.

So I think it would come down to desperation. I think, uh, Jonathan Gresham would have go down now it's looking grim for the leader of the house, but then all of a sudden he pops up out of nowhere, splits the mist, hits the check 1, 2,

3 chip. Yeah. As you can see by my

silence, it's hard.

This is a very, I thought the crisp Adam full one, but when he came, what did we talk to? That? It was just, it hit like. Thank you, sir. You know what I mean? I can see matter of fact, most for that blackout automatically with brushing, grabbing, taking them down, maybe, you know, starting to mess off like that. Uh, Gresham is he's one dimensional, but it's the best dimension that you could have when it comes to wrestling, which is just being able to know every brand Danielson.

I'm gonna go with, even though it doesn't matter. No, Jonathan Gresham ducks, the mist, Jonathan Gresham, who's been going pure rules this whole time

snaps.

He starts throwing, he starts throwing, uh, Malakai's left leg off the, uh, off the post. And does the bread heart figure four leg lock. Oh yeah. Interesting. Uh, since there's not many rules in this and we have to determine.

Um,

Malakai gets out of that by, by sitting up and spitting, miss down into Gretchen's face. Gresham has to break the lock he's on the outside home himself. Malakai gets outside, running Nita the face over the fucking barricade takes some suplexes back over, goes in, throws him in the rain. He's about to go through for the black mess, and everybody thinks it's happening because Jonathan Grasso's eyes are covered in black mist, but Gretchen goes underneath grabs the leg like this, lifts them up.

Oh

my man, you just described an enemy.

Wrestling is bro

human. None of us

it's the roles roles.

But speaking of GCs, w w we're going to talk about. Black death, the motherfucking truth. Oh, let's do it. Ajay gray against the winner. The best belt machine

Kenya. No, I chose AIJ gray because he is the west coast pro champion. He is the, for the culture leader. He is representing African-American wrestling, like nobody else on the scene. And he's fantastic. But when you have this bracket and you get probably the best wrestler in the past decade, you're going

against that. Ain't happening.

But Kenny Omega's beating you. I don't need to go into any further detail. You could go for every Larry. You can go for every Cappo kick you want, you could try and bring out some Def mash shenanigans. You learned a GC w Kenny omega will forward it all. He will trigger your arm. When you go for that Lariat, you're going up for the one lane angel and you ain't coming back up, bro.

Fucking

hit like right here. Yeah.

I can't imagine

out of the socket, like legit out of the socket, your arms day,

if this was a death match tournament, it would get so differently.

And he didn't know what I was gonna say. I've seen him in a couple of matches that, uh, I was shocked. I was, I was like, really? I didn't realize. Oh, yeah, like legit. So technical, you've got so much skill DDT,

different. I mean, we had the lights out match. We had the exploding death match, which until the end wasn't legitimate death match. Um,

I mean,

we're talking about the beat trigger. Could you imagine getting by tubes in front of your face

right

now? I just want to say,

man, maybe we will never know, man. You never know where cross crosses gonna end up

being the first man to actually kill you.

Maybe.

Oh,

but yeah. Yeah, it's, it's kinda, it's kinda

right.

So back over to the other side, the last match, or the first round in the age bracket, uh, Finn Balor against moose,

moose, moose. This could be the sleeper end

of the first round. Absolutely. Uh, moose has continuously, continuously recruit, not just in the ring, but on the mic presentation, his body. And finally he has what he's always wanted in the impact world championship. He's finally redeemed as hen and he is a downright bastard for it, but. I would, uh, I would ask you to find a better professional wrestler than fin Bauer.

I thought,

oh no, well, he's coming down chess right into a powder form

and then

pick them up, like CSRO swung them off the fucking guard rails and everything. That's also for guys like he's fought Samoa,

Joe. He bled

he's been the worst with guys

like this. Moose

moose. Finn Balor goes for the coup de Gras and thinks he has it in the bag. It's taken a little bit too much time and most as we sing, it's very athletic now, very agile. One movement jumps to the top rope into the Spanish fly

sets up for the spear

goes for the spear. Doesn't get the three goes for another spear. Finn Balor hits a shotgun Dropkick to the fucking dome. It goes up for another two to grow. Moose moves out of the way, jumps to. Spear from behind to the back spirit of the front and a Jack hammer on top for the, when I'm picking loose.

That was, that was good stuff.

Anybody got thoughts? I'm going to let the

ship go while I figured this out.

I got moose. Huh?

I decided to go against the grain, the grain.

That's what I'm thinking. I'm not thinking I was thinking more prince debit. It could be bullet club debit was going to have to be that guy to go up against most. I see him get caught out of the air from my, uh, I see at the beginning of this moves us down, going up for the coup de Gras. It gets as you get ready to get up moose Kips up catches him, puts that into a Powerball Powerball, a spear, and 1, 2, 3 that's Rob,

does that mean size

that size trim fit? He is

he's in the fucking career.

Yeah. Yeah. He's he's, it's not just football clips. So when he first came in, he was football player. Right now he's you're right. He could prove over the last five years, he's

definitely easily Brussels in the world right now,

because when he first came in and he was super raw and, uh, he has star credit. Cause I didn't think he was going to last like that. Um, yeah, he's really putting

in the word duty. His wife divorced him. He left football and all that money to gamble on pro wrestling sucks to be her. Yup. She has a, it was a new one. So

I like your spot with the sharpen job kick into that.

Absolutely. I

think it would go a little differently. I think he would hit the shotgun drop cage, split it perfectly catch both shorts while he's going for the spear.

And.

Because I'm going to be the one that gives you a different way on this one. He hits those shoulders. Then what does it do to him? He grabs that headlock and starts pounding on those Danial Bryce and shoulders starts pounding those elbows into the shorters

rendering, the spear useless, but

in that spot, during that spot, Bates moves by submission.

Very nice. I'm picking ballad, but moose goes on the last match in the B bracket, you got one of the best independent wrestlers of all time. Johnny Gargano against one of the best independent wrestlers of 2021.

Jordan don't die. Young, young, dumb, and broke.

Yeah, you start

this one off.

This is a match that I would love to see happen in real life. Um, well, yeah, all of them, but

one that

is right now could be a legitimate possibility.

The rumors are true. If the rumors are true.

And for the most part

in recent history they have, but Joanie or Garneau against Jordan Oliver would be sort of the question styles and short and sort of not, uh, there too. You wouldn't call them little guys, but they definitely have that cruiserweight stop.

Jordan is taller. Yeah. Um, joining housing. Jordan likes to use the, uh, Cleopatra. He likes to use the big boot. He likes to use the, uh, the cutter off the top. He likes to, uh, he's been using a lot of suplexes and stuff lately. I think he's even added some submissions to his game.

Yeah.

But how old is Jordan over for real that's

22 or 23.

He's young.

Now

somebody I didn't know much about to be honest, I'll watch them.

That, that can't be all way younger than that. That's

not some Olympic

year. Yeah. If you pull up Jordan all over, you're going to get two wrestlers. Right? You're gonna get a bearded guy and then you're going to get Jordan,

uh, born 1999. So 22. Yeah. He's 22.

Yeah, it was literally almost wrestled everyone under the fucking face of the sun. Yeah. Uh, you know, he's got, he could jump. He could, he can fly. He could do the submissions. He could do the suplexes. He could do it all

size. That's the only thing holding small guys. Just guy Garganow is something I can't, I can't even find a word. That's in Washington. And like, it's just every

single and evolve. And whenever evolve first came up, drank at USA was also a thing. They were kind of tied together. I would go on the website and word evolve and try and get USAID DVDs. Uh, the experience and the knowledge of Garganow would send a Jordan Oliver backing out of the storm.

Yeah. Yeah. I mean,

it started wrestling.

I mean, the guys I've seen them in cage matches. Hey guys. I mean, Champa against our drawing. Um, it's just his styles. She style changes from rest of the wrestler. Uh, like I said, the only thing that holds it back sides and in some instances, and even that doesn't even stop you stop it. Right. It's just a, I guess, a measurement you're joining wrestling all day. So

that sets up Johnny wrestling versus Kenny omega. And the second round, I believe

we have the unanimous is

right. Okay.

So let's start at the top and we'll go the other side, first NATO and Nakajima mento. And I'll say this market gym was full of piss and vinegar because new Japan has had the thumb on Noah for years. He's coming in representing the four pillars of all Japan that left. And Massawa, who's part of that. Who made Noah? You got NATO sitting pretty on his throne, new Japan leading one of the hottest factions in all of wrestling. Nakajima doesn't let toe walk out with all of his teeth.

True

as hard as hard and as hard hitting as Nakajima his first round match against killer cross was, this will be a little bit different. This would be a little more technical, a little

more

posturing, uh, on the outside. NATO we'll use everything that he can to his advantage, including coming down to the ring laundry shit and, uh, taking off his clothes as long as possible. But this will not deter Costa Rico knock Jima. Cause he'd go knock a Jim wants to know once everyone in Japan to know who the real man is and knock a Jima beat.

Uh, I think people,

in my opinion, uh, people see the eyeballs, they see the what's it called the trunk. And they find yo, this guy he's just care his heads

because his head's

always in the gym. He's always looking for the win and he's willing to do anything to get it. And that's why Nodo goes on.

Fuck.

So chip has

to be the decider.

Nobody's going to stick. You don't know

me. I mean, the gym is incredible. I mean,

what if.

I'm sorry, I'm going backwards. Uh, so the first round was like, what? 20 minutes draw. 20, 20 minutes to a draw. Yeah, this is 30. And the final match will be 60 or the next one will be 40 in the last one will be six.

Final match has no time.

Okay.

This match does not have a winner.

So what happens?

They're both on their backs. So you're just saying you going up with

the lights, but what are you saying? So what

would happen

triple threat?

No, the winner of omega and Garganow just straight to the finals.

Okay.

That's interesting. So you're saying no winter. I said no.

And I said,

so what happens?

Fuck it. I'll pick, I'll go back to my regular choice. Yeah.

Trust me. I'd be grouped for now the entire time, but I just see not cross at the end, let the very last beat, beat some doubt. And it's just, and I think, and obviously that had a mentality with Dido and B probably being a little more technical. I still think GMO at the end.

Yeah. Honestly, the only guys in new Japan that I think that I would put over Nakajima or Shingo and Coda, bougie. Yeah. Coda, bougie, and Shingo, both represent the styles that Nakajima incorporates into his arsenal. And. Those would be the key matches that I would want to see from this new Japan thing for Nakajima. But, uh, when it comes to NATO Nakajima is, is on something else this year, man, he's, he's a whole different animal and it's, it's just crazy to watch.

me, I'm not going to go against, and I know I'm the biggest,

oh no, I'm sure there's the Japanese child.

I bet there's not a Japanese child

watching, but I want to go a different route. Let's go to Malikai black against moose, and I'm going to give it to one of these.

Uh, man, it's it's rough. You don't want marijuana guy. You don't want, gotta go forward doing the same shit he did in the last match.

Uh,

moose right now might have a more

varied arsenal. He has, the power is a power game over if Malika, I can find himself out of situations and if he beats you down enough, he can power you up to. Yeah,

that's true.

We've seen, we've seen guy or our stern it's happened in many ways, but we've seen Tommy and. People, you don't think you shouldn't be able to,

um,

who was it? I can't remember who it was, but he, in one of the matches, he had a double WWII. He used a fucking on somebody that was like bigger than him. And it was like, oh my God, he threw

someone

as like, he just has that dark energy,

dark energy.

He has the power of saying,

I see some, I see a lot of limb manipulation from Alison. Oh, sorry. Malakai black counteract loses power. Uh, just gotta be about the same height, but most it's probably got 50 on

at least. I think

he's definitely most definitely got the size. Um, but I think, uh, Malika black at the end of the day, give submission. Yeah. I think what happens is he works on about three different limbs and guess where he's in so much pain to other that he has to have on the third limb.

I'm going to go. I agree with you as well. I am as well. Uh, I think he goes for the black mass,

um,

moose turns it into a power bomb or a power bomb backbreaker like onto the knee, but, uh, eventually Tommy puts him to sleep with a. With a rear naked choke variation. That might be the

only way to get moose

because, you know, we, we talked about moose has the size advantage, but I don't think there's many advantages that can overcome an experience advantage right

now, this next match. I'm going to do a 1, 2, 3, and we're all going to shelter. Okay. Kenny omega versus joining Garganow 1, 2, 3.

All right. Like I said, I was like, I feel bad for Johnny. Johnny got in the back. That takes away from that.

Now the last match of the quarter finals, singled to Carnegie against that. I'm cool, baby.

Interesting. An interesting. Um, I mean, I think Sanger would probably do over just, just from beating the shit out of Aaron, Adam, Adam Cole has, the agility has, has an awesome move. Set has strikes of his own was the thing. It was got the brains Shingo whole has brains through his brains too, but Shane you're just fucking murder. Yeah.

To me, it comes down between Adam calls, cleverness, craftiness, and shingles,

rage,

pure power assault and fucking spirit. Yeah.

Yes.

Give me a second.

Gotcha. Take your time. I'll be in my head and it involves other people. Ooh,

interesting. But it involves most of the people, but they both have other people,

uh, Shingo has her own mood, bougie and Sonata. Adam Cole has

bananas or mega

fish,

Bobby fish and the books,

Brandon color. But

you know, you know, they come out. I don't know that I've ever seen them. Only whenever they absolutely need it. So I think, I think the elite would, would think that Shingo was ready to go then and everything was in the bag and they're celebrating on the outside and I'm cools getting ready for a Panama scent, sunrise and outcome. The Calvary start beating up on the outside, cools on a top and all of a sudden shin goes up, just grabs them by the fucking head, toss him across the ring, coping

bomber, harping, bomber, the dragon. That's it.

They probably heard none of that.

Well, I, cause I was too loud. Maybe I could put it on the couch.

I might

send you

a picture and go, I assume you are as well.

I'll pick a Shingo. Yeah. You know why? Because yeah, the bucks, the bucks where my other people, and then when you pitch that they don't come out and do they do come out. I'm like, okay, I guess I lose this one.

Yeah. They're like a weird tweener group. And they also, they also like any match I've ever seen. I think this happened with, uh, when they wrestle grand slam was Shingo against evil house. Was doing everything they could to stifle Shingo. And the whole time I'm saying where the fuck is LIJ, where the fuck is LIJ. And then at the last possible moment they came up and that's how they do things because they had their whole, their whole, um, faction.

like I said, flipped it

into the books

verbally.

You messed it up. No, Brandon, Brandon

Brandon,

Adam calls. Panama's sunrise. And your runs up and yours to hit him. But Adam told Porsche's him. Brandon, doesn't see this and goes up with the spray and he's going, but it's all.

Okay. So the semifinals for the a side is shingles. The coughy versus Malakai black. Holy fuck. And on the B side, we have Nakajima against Kenneth. We'll make it

fully fuck.

Now

I have my

final set, but it really, the world's greatest crossover events.

All of these men

starting. So John or chip, whoever wants to start, whatever match. Go ahead. You got Shingo and Malika. You got Kenny, let's start

knocking G-Man or me Nakajima. Now Tim, I'm going to need you to help me a little bit, cause I'm not as well versed in no way yet. Uh, what are some. The moves that Nakajima can use against

knock a GMO does multiple thrusts kicks to the face, which is a short, super kick. Uh, he does a lot of kicks to the chest, especially when they're in a seated position. He goes back and forth. He goes one to the chest, one to the back, one of the chest, one of the back, one of the over and over, uh, he does the vertical spike, which is a nasty brain Buster. He also does like a death valley driver spike.

for straight,

uh, for striking ability, I'd go knock the Jima for power. I'd say equal.

Uh, You keep

you guys

well, does it also have something called separateness? Something? I don't know.

Fuck,

Kenny probably that's a final fantasy

thing. Um, suffer off as

several as the woman, but so going off of that, going off of the moves that you've listed off, I can see some spots forming in my mind. Uh,

I see

Kenny picking them, picking up not Virginia for the north, the Jimmo wiggling out of it and hitting that verbal

spot. Um,

I can see Ken and Megan kicking out of that vertical spike

and Jim had gone for another one flips over it's the snap

snap. Dragon flips him over and flips him over, hits the snap. Cause he always those two or three in quick succession, and nobody does it better than Kenya, the Snapdragon soup books specifically. But does it come down to strikes?

No, no,

Kenny Omega's chest will be ready.

We fell over

Kenny omega. I will say this before I give my decision. Kenny Omega's chest will be red with blood and there will be marks on him,

Brian Daniels. Yeah.

But from listening to you talk and going over move sets, this and that Kenny omega wins and goes to the

finals. I'm in agreement with that kicks chops and be triggers. I mean, power, I mean it's pain, pain, pain,

pain. Uh, and you also got

15

minutes of it. He can incorporate anything he wants. He's got that. It's

the most versatile wrestler I think I've ever watched. And it takes a lot for me to put anybody over flick.

I'm not kidding. Rick flair was good at what he did. I don't think he's had the versatility.

No, no, he did. He did. He did. There wasn't much going around back then, but I mean,

He just, he has this knowledge of every restaurant ever done. He can pull it out and he can perform them all to the highest ability.

Like,

I mean, it's hard to put anybody over him because it feels like you're having the hook could be Goku conversation.

That's exactly what it feels like.

Make it more general nerdish who could beat Superman because every situation Superman has a way that he's, that he's better.

The only guy who can beat Superman or neutralized him as Batman. And I believe there is, I believe on the other side of this. Or both are both

or both the Batman to county Superman, I'd say. Yeah. So we're picking up, we're putting omega in the

final over,

and that brings us to America versus Shingo, which could be a match where nobody has teeth left after.

Do they have teeth going into

well, Shinya where's the mouth guard. That's the only thing, keeping them safe.

Okay. So let's look at their brackets. Okay. Shingo coughy has done the junior A's of new Japan and he has beaten and thwarted the elite by beating Adam cool Malakai black in the first round, had a rough match against Jonathan Gresham. Second match, rough match against.

Cause this is all happening in one night. So the, the previous matches go into.

Yeah.

And I think taking that into consideration.

Well, that's why you talk about omega. Omega has solidified himself as the marathon, man.

Yeah. I think both of these guys are marathon guys to

Shango,

especially

I think Shingo could take whatever Malakai throws that. And I think shingle when,

but I don't know.

I don't fucking know

what's what ship decide this.

Hi. I, I don't know enough.

Well, let's, let's say, let's say this Shingo would not be intimidated by Malakai Black's presence

or the trickery at all.

Um, Shingo is just a freight train that will come through you, but he's also smart. Uh, he does a lot of moves off of the fireman carrier position.

Yeah. He's like mousse with more of the versatility of the chipper

starving. Uh, he, he does a lot of areas. He does. Uh, last of the dragon is like a pump handle of over yeah. Kinda like a pump handle farming. Kerry mentioned the driver. Then he does another thing where like, if you're back to back, he lifts you up with. Releases the arms, it falls back. Cause your face, uh, special, but it's like a slam on your, on your

face.

I forget the

actual name. He also has Japan, which is similar to the last and the

dragon, but I made in Japan is just like, Japan is

almost like if I

were an arrow, I don't know. Yeah. Uh, then you got Malakai who, you know, the strategy of the

blackout. He's got the submission game. He's got the myths,

the strikes that the case. Um,

no, cause more can, can hit the ropes, like with his feet. Then Shingo, but Shingo has done some flippy shit. Yeah. Like when he has like only one, he has to pull it out of his park.

He might have to

write. Um, but there would be no, both of them have such a high intimidation game, but neither of them would intimidate the other. Right. Um,

well I'm taking

Shingo. Yeah. Yeah.

I'm taking Shingo,

which is

my finals. That's why I didn't want to start any of this conversation. Push my narrative. That was my final

is the dream match right now with this forbid endorsed shit. It's one of them. It's one. That's talked about a lot.

Yes. Uh, no.

I mean like Shingo countering at one wing angel with a manager pan or

yeah. Um, substrate spots, then let's look through this Shingo beat her Romo. Um, cool. Malakai black. Yeah. Kenny beat. AIJ gray. Johnny Gargano Nakajima.

Yeah.

Uh, I think they're similar in age.

Yes. And

experience, uh, they both have similar experiences. Shingo wrestling a lot of outside talent of dragon gate, especially when there was a dragon gate USA expansion, uh, his, his match against Bryan Danielson in 2010 was actually actually turned me on to Japanese wrestling. But Kenny omega has wrestled in more promotions because before coming to new Japan, Shingo was, I was just a straight drain gate guy. Um, and then when he couldn't do anymore, his buddy NATO called him.

he is

his support. He's put his stamp on that fucking company. Now, Kenny omega, if it wasn't for Kenny omega, I don't know how many of us over here we'll be talking about new Japan. True. Um, and when he left and left a big void and the pandemic didn't help. But Shingo, there has been a shining light, an outside force shining light in new Japan.

Uh, I don't know.

I mean is putting on goat level matches with every fucking time buddy

he's in there. He's having Kenny omega new Japan matches while Kenny omega is deciding when he decides to have a new Japan, Kenny omega loan. Yeah.

But those decisions are coming more and more frequently.

I saw it again, sat on page. I saw it against rich one. I saw it against a couple others.

Well, to me at this point in the tournament, this match is going to have to go and get technical because Kenny's just his fricking eyes. These chip chopped ham

got that Lariat and, and, and Mo he had to go, Kenny had to go through the lariats of eight grade. He's had to go through the kicks of the chest. The Nakajima

Shingo up until Malakai black

has that an easier route to the finals, less painful. Anyway,

right

now she was coming in more fresh shingles. The face Kenny is the hill, but Kenny decides to tell everybody to stay in.

Yeah. And I think Shingo. Is thinking he's having an easy route to the finals until he gets to Malaga.

And at the beginning of the match, they both shake hands and have a gentleman's agreement that there's no outside interference. And there is no weaponry. I mean, if someone gets caught up on, uh, on the guard rail or something that's different or being thrown into steps, but there's no actual mean picking up a weapon, et cetera. I think Kenny goes for one too many Viets triggers and his Shingo is on his knees and he goes for another V trigger.

of the rain Shingo.

This starts letting the count go, but then gets frustrated and goes outside, but gets caught with the beach or gets hit with a Snapdragon, gets hit with another Snapdragon. Omega's going through shingles. Head is near the steps. Omega's like, this is it. This is where I can do this. He runs goes for the V trigger. Shingle moves out of the way, knee right into the fucking chairs, right steps, single throws them into the ring shingles, setting up for a pumping bomber.

Hmm. So

the last one you said was

shingles put on a leg walk, like one of those where you grapevine one of their legs with your legs. Yeah.

I'm going to kill these lock,

something like

that. Yeah. I don't know. So omega had just hit the steps with the knee

and was.

But now he's in a low, yeah,

that's it. That's it?

I think that's almost it.

Maybe. I think Kenny

is thinking about Tevin.

He wants to tap,

but no, he doesn't submit. Kenny does not submit that doesn't happen. All right. All right. Let

me, let me go. An idea. Kenny gets up on his shoulders and he's screaming and Shingo Shingo gets in his face. The gentleman's agreement is off because Kenny spits in his eyes. Yeah. This causes Shingo to break the lock.

Now,

take it away, John.

Oh, well you just made it easier because now Kenny's going to run and hit one last V trigger, but it's the. We're seniors on the ropes, whether the ISO yeah. Kenny hits their be trigger and she was down now he's his own on his feet

one way and angel

and don't know what

to kick out of that.

She goes on the roofs. Kenny goes for the V trigger.

She didn't go side steps.

Kenny hits the roofs,

shingle German Shingo pumping bar.

Kenny omega can't even get up. The ref looks at him, checks his arm. It's over

Shingo wins by knockout

red.

You have Kenny.

So all. Okay. So we got, we got the trigger and the stairs, we got the leg, we got the spit in the face. He's uh, she goes to the corner, turnbuckles wipe his face, kitty feature size, the Shingo sidesteps. Kenny's already injured knee off the stairs. It's that second rope or that third turnbuckle. Yeah. And it's funny, you said German and I wasn't thinking of German. I was thinking of some sort of release, but the German works

right. Automate and

then

bam, like Stein a lot. Boom, boom, boom. And then the rep's like, we're going to handle it. Like yo was like, That's it.

You just can't go no more.

Yeah. Yeah. The

winner of the gift. Thanks for a violence tournament.

The rampage dragon.

Yes. God, I can't wait to do this. Well, the first card was chip. This tournament was my idea, but all three of us threw it in. Yeah. So John, I know what you want to do. So let's go with, what about sometime next month? I know what you want to do you want to do that? GC? W a w super show.

Yeah. I mean, that's something that I've been talking about for a long time. It's something. What have happened by now, but it hasn't well, yeah, we'll do AWS versus

w oh no. This is up to you that this is only up to you. All right. The next book or man championship,

but ended up being a death match tournament.

We'll see. It's up to you. The next Booker man championship card will be brought to you by none other than John Kearns. It will be JCW versus a WWE SuperCard. And with that, wherever you are in the world, whether it's morning, noon, night, you have a great one. Peace and love to all of you chip bringing it in,

bringing the two sweet, wonderful.
