AEW Dynamite 11/19/25 Review | Kenny Omega RETURNS And Three Hours DOES NOT WORK!!!

crazy stuff. But you would almost never even know that that happened a week ago because the only person who really was held off the show and was referred to almost like in the past tense and was not there because he supposedly suffered second degree burns, which may well be legit if you watched the show last week was

Darby Allen. Most everybody else was on the show. They were wrestling in many cases, and again it's as if what we saw last week did matter or didn't even happen, which I thought was very, very weird considering how much blood was spilled on that show last week. But blood in the Gods is in the rear view. We got Full Gear coming up. We added a few more matches to the card tonight, of course we did so I will have a full rundown of what the card is going to be this weekend. We'll go through my very

quick predictions later on at the end. But tonight we had the return of Kenny Omega. He wasn't on the show for very long. He didn't do too much, but we haven't seen him in a little bit, so he was back on the show tonight. We had Mercedes Monet in the main event of Collision, the Boston Girl. They were in Boston tonight, so they saved her for the

very end of the show. She was wrestling Red Velvet, who we have not seen in the ring since June, in a basically kind of a unification match or whatever you want to call it, because we had the Ring of Honor Women's Television Champion against the interim Women's Television Champion. Is if anybody gives a shit about the interim or even frankly non interim Ringovater Television Championship, I certainly don't.

That was the main event though on Collision. I'll give you one guess as to who went over in that match. It's all about pushing Mercedes and Statlander, which is coming up on Saturday for the only championship that really matters, which is the aw Women's World Championship. So that was in the main event at the end of the show, and it was it was a journey to get there from start to finish. This was a long show. One of the many reasons I hate three hours. I don't

care what the promotion is, I fucking hate it. But because Full Gear is coming up on Saturday, you can't have Collision on Saturday instance, I guess instead of doing it on Thursday, they decided to do a three hour block, so that is what we ended up with. We also had a couple of women's Tag Team Title Tournament matches

on this show. I was curious coming into this, what are they going to do at Full Gear because there's a lot of women who are missing and there really isn't enough time to set up the finals for that show. We got our answer tonight. We are going to have all of the women who are in the semi final round of the Tag Team Title Tournament, all of those teams are going to be in a match on Saturday. That has been added with a very interesting stipulation. That

is completely and utterly unnecessary. But since we're adding stipulations to everything on this show, I guess Tony Kahn figure we need a stipulation for this too. We'll get into that. We also found out that the Continental Classic is officially starting on the show next week, which usually it does coming out of full gear, and that will take us to I assume World's end. So Continental Classic time is

almost here. That's what we're gonna talk about here, and I'm going to try to get you out of here as quickly as I can because I was not a fan of this show tonight. I was pretty bored by a lot of this show tonight. This was not one of the stronger go home shows that they have had. I cannot tell you that this show tonight made me any more excited to watch this pay per view on Saturday. If I told you that, I would be lying to you. But we're going to talk about Dynamite. We're going to

talk about collision. We are live here on YouTube. It is a Wednesday night. It is November nineteenth, twenty twenty five. I am the Solemn Monster, celebrating eighteen years of the Sound of All November Long Super chats are open. I saw that our boy Joseph did a little hit and run earlier, so we'll be getting to his and all of your questions as well later on here in the stream.

And if you missed any of the other content this week Big Raw Recap show on Monday night, coming out of that Madison Square Garden Show sound off this past weekend episode nine thirty eight, please go back and check that out. What are you waiting for? That'll be the they were waiting for you when we are done here. And also be aware no SmackDown review. On Friday night,

they opened the show with Bobby Lashley. This feels like eighty four years ago, Bobby Lashley against Ricochet, with the winner of this entering the Casino Gauntlet at full gear in the number one spot. Because in the Casino Gauntlet, of course, it could end at any moment, so you want to be in that match as early as possible, or else you may not be able to make it

out to the ring. So whereas in the Royal Rumble you would not want to be number one, in a match like this, you want to be the first person out there or the second person out there. Number one and number two are effectively the same thing, but that national championship will be decided in the Casino Gauntlet. This new title that they are adding two new championships. The

women's tag team titles have not yet been decided. But we're also going to have you know what the crazy thing is, now that I think about it, We're going to have a new national champion before we even have women tag team champions. That to me is just fucking ridiculous. Ex Caliber reminded all of us that the Full Gear Countdown Special, by the way, would air tonight after collision. Fuck you, Yeah, not sticking around for that, but if

you want four hours of aw enjoy. So once Bobby Lashley and Ricochet were in the ring, Ricochet took the microphone. I think they had already rang the bell, and he took the microphone and he says that you know, he uh healing on the Boston Crab bringing up the Philadelphia Eagles mentioned Fly Eagles Fly. He says he knows that Patriots fans don't remember what it's like to win a Super Bowl. The only good thing to come out of

Massachusetts is his wife. He said that he was surprised Ariel Helwani did not ask Tony Kanna about MVP having dementia since he called the national title the international title. Last week he called Lashly a bald idiot rambling, and Lashly finally choked lamb him out of the ring onto the gates of agony, and then Lashly was about to steamroll all of them, which he did, including launching Tota Leona over the guardrail by the timekeepers area. I don't know if he landed on the table that was there

the floor, but he went right over that guardrail. Ricochet side stepped a corner charge back inside. He got a schoolboy for a two count. Then he fired off a whole host of kicks and a running shooting Star moonsalt combo. Ricochet rolled through a top rope shooting Star press attempt, and then he pulled Bryce Remsburg in front of him, which allowed him to rake the eyes loaded up for

the spirit gun and Ricochet charge. Lashley caught him though, into a big spinebuster and a spear and thanks for coming, Ricochet, That's all she wrote. And just like that, Bobby Lashley wins and he will be number one in the Casino Gauntlet. You know Ricochet's promo at the beginning of this match was longer than the match itself. I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing. It's certainly not a good thing. But lastly, is number one in the Gauntlet. It does not make it. I know, in theory,

it makes it more likely he might win it. Actually, in sort of think about it, put your wrestling thinking cap on here, it makes it less likely because it's a little too obvious. If Bobby Lashley is coming out there at number one. Oh man, he's got the he's got the advantage in this match. Sure he does. So we know one person who's not winning the Gauntlet on Saturday, and Ricochet also, Like you would think maybe they're setting up Ricochet for a win. Man, he got fucking squashed

basically here in this match. I don't think so. I think they could potentially be setting this up for someone that people aren't thinking about. I don't think that just because Ricochet doesn't really have a whole lot to do and because of the way he lost here, that necessarily means he's gonna win the championship. But you know what, even if he did, Like how sad is that you're gonna introduce this new championship. Look at the way that

they booked Ricochet on this show. I'm not even saying that it didn't make sense that Bobby Lashley would wreck this guy, but like he's treated like a total Jabron. Now you turn around on Saturday and you put this championship on him, What does that say for the national title? Like it literally just becomes something to give to someone who does not have anything going on. So here, we will give you a belt. If you can introduce a new championship, at least put it on somebody that you're

actually planning on pushing. I got a different idea about this. Talk about that when we do the predictions later Samo Joe was backstage with Katiori Shabata said that it must feel good for Hangman Adam Page to be a Fighting World Champion. Joe said that he was told if he interferes tonight in Hangman's match, he will lose his aw World title match on Saturday. Joe said, Page's whole world of joy and happiness is about to get very different,

very quickly. He said, Hangman is guilty of crimes and transgressions against the and it will be at the hands of Sabata deadly by design, violent by intention. Tonight, Shabata begins Page's payment and at full Gear, Joe said he will fully collect. Backstage, we saw the young Bucks watching video of their match from Full Gear back in twenty twenty. Ah, the old days, Remember when we used to gather here on the channel back in the pandemic days at Daily's place.

I don't really reminisce about the pandemic days too much because I really just don't want to think about those days. But those were the early days of the Dynamite reviews and the aw pay per view reviews, and it's very interesting to go back and think about the product then as compared to the product now as we sit here five years later. It is very interesting. So they're watching back footage of that match where they teamed with Kenny Omega. Redee Piquette walks in. She asks the Bucks if they

would join the don Kallis family. Are you going to join the don Kallis family? And before they could answer, Callus showed up. He told the Bucks to go show the world why you are the best tag team on the planet because their match was coming up next. And then after you guys can give all the Rubes out there, your answer as far as you're joining the family. He gave them another grandiose introduction on their way out to the ring, shitload of pyro. The Bucks did not look

overly enthusiastic about any of this. But it was the Bucks and Josh Alexander against Skyflight. Many of you may be asking, what what's that. It's a team, it's a trio. It's Scorpio Sky and top Flight hence Skyflight. Now, I won't fault you if you have no idea what I'm talking about, because the last time that we even saw Top Flight wrestling here on Dynamite was back in May, and even worse, Scorpio Sky. Do you know the last

time that Scorpio Sky wrestled on this program. You would have to go all the way back to July sixth of twenty twenty two when he lost the TNT Championship to Wardlow. Now you want to talk about feeling like a lifetime ago, that's a lifetime ago. But here they are just like that. They're back on Dynamite. They're gonna take on the Young Bucks and the Kallis family here. So the Bucks were setting up for a double team move on Scorpio. When Alexander tagged himself into the match,

Bucks were not pleased about this. Darius Martin tagged then he hit a standing Spanish fly in a DDT on Alexander, which led to a near fall. The Bucks started a super kick party. They set up Dante for a BTE trigger, but he pulled the Bucks arms to make them collide into one another. The Bucks came back with a meltzer driver on Dante. Alexander then shoved the Bucks out of the way so that he could apply an ankle lock

and he got the submission win for his team. Now, after the match was over, Don Callus gets into the ring and also here comes Hetcha Sero, Here comes Mark Davis, Here comes Rocky Romero said, now you guys can announce you were going to join the Don Callis family. The Bucks were reluctant. Callous reminded them that you know, the money's been flowing now that Callous has been looking out for them in recent weeks, and he demanded that they announced that they were joining the Kallus family. So he

started getting agitated. He said, you know AW can be a very dangerous Oh, yes, I know, AW can be a very dangerous place. I watched the show last week, a little too dangerous, but he said, aw can be a very dangerous place. And the Bucks walking around without a family, now, that could result in something bad happening. Callous would hate to see what happened to Kenny Omega

happened to the Bucks. So what they were going to do though, as far as the Bucks will never know as far as their decision here because they were interrupted by Kenny Omega's music and Omega made his way out. He had a chair in hand, he took out Rocky Romero and Mark Davis with it in the aisle before getting in the ring, and he tackled Josh Alexander. The Bucks pulled Omega off, and you know, he shoved them, and that little distraction was enough for Alexander to pick

the ankle to get the ankle lock. Callus ordered Alexander to let him go, said, you know what, the Bucks don't have to announce if they're going to join the family. All they need to do is take Kenny Omega and deliver a bte trigger to him right here in the middle of the ring. Right now. The Bucks slowly looked like they were about to do it. When outcome Jack Perry and Lucasaurus and they cleared ring. Jack Perry had a shovel. Lucasaurus and I shit you not, he had

a vacuum cleaner, which was just a ridiculous visual. I suppose he just grabbed the first thing he saw. Now, why there was a vacuum cleaner sitting there, I have no idea, But he had a vacuum cleaner with him and Jack Perry, by the way, with that shovel and the vest and whatever he was wearing, he looked like a fucking park ranger. So outside the ring with the rest of the family, as they bailed, or they were in the middle of bailing, you could see the young Bucks.

They look very conflicted over this whole situation. So they were really leaning very heavily into making you believe that we are going to get a reunion of the elite. And it makes me change my opinion of what I thought we were going to get on Saturday, because I do think all signs point to well Megain the Bucks getting back together. Now, I can't discount the possibility they're setting up some big swerve, you know it, full gear.

But it looks like because I mean, if you think about it, they've been doing the buck like the broke Bucks stuff for a while where they're out of money and it was very entertaining for a while. That could only go on for so long. It's a million dollar match, Like, as ridiculous as that sounds, and it really the money stuff at this point is just comically stupid. But it's

a million dollars on the line in this match. And let's say the Heels win and the Bucks right, they get back out of the Red and into the Green or the black, whatever it is, and so now they have money again to spend, Like when does this end? Do they just go and spend it again? And you get a lot of the same vignettes we had, you know, over the last few months, like what's the endgame for this? If not them turning back Babyface and kind of rejoining

the elite and getting the band back together. I don't know if Hangman might end up getting involved, that would feel like probably the endgame of this. They've been Heels now for a while, so I think that's where we're headed. I think that's probably the likely outcome of what we are going to see at full gear or at least

the next step that will ultimately lead to that. After this, they cut to the announced desk and they had Tony Shavanni talk about the passing this past week of legendary announcer Bob Caudle, who he worked with many many years ago. I think he and Bob Caudle first worked together back in the mid eighties, he said, and just passed away

at the age of ninety five. Shavanni says he was the voice of his childhood and if there was a wrestling Hall of Fame for announcers, said Bob would be the first name inducted, and they put the rest in Peace graphic up on the screen that took us into a commercial break. Good on them for acknowledging Caddle here on the show WWE. He didn't say a word about him on Monday Night, so it was nice to see

aw acknowledge him here. Now. With Bobby Lashley having secured the number one spot in the Casino Gauntlet this weekend, his Hurt Syndicate partner Shelton Benjamin had a match on this show to decide the number two spot in the Gauntlet, and his opponent here was Speedball Mike Bailey, This was a good one with these two up until the finish. MVP sat in on commentary and at one point in the middle of the match, he stood up and he was very frustrated with Benjamin kind of taking his time

and kind of toying with Bailey. So he stood up and he started yelling at Shelton, telling him stop playing with your food and end this. Bailey hit a standing shooting star press. MVP yelled that you don't win matches by flying through the air. Benjamin got an armbar apply, but Benjamin powered him up for a slam. Or I should say Bailey got the arm bar, Benjamin powered him up. Bailey, though, held on and both men ended up tumbling out over

the top rope together out to the floor. Back in the ring, Bailey applied another arm bar that Benjamin escaped. When they stood up, Benjamin superkicked Bailey, and what a superkick. This was holy shit, the sound that this thing made and the reaction from the crowd, like that should have been and maybe was supposed to be the finish of this match, because, I mean, the superkick is just such an abused move. We see multiple ones in every match right,

especially on this show. We just had the young Bucks out there, and so whether it's the Young Bucks of the USO's like, there's a lot of different people that have incorporated superkicks into their act. But this superkick, this resonated. This was like a gunshot going off and he covers speedball and there's no doubt that his shoulders were down. Just the camera that we had, it was very visible his shoulders and Bailey's shoulders were flat on the mat.

He didn't lift them up. He didn't accidentally get them up or attempt to lift them up. Paul Turner, though, counts one, he counts two, and then he holds up and he's sticking his hand under the shoulder as if to like, oh, the shoulder was up. I'm like, no, no, it wasn't, motherfucker. I'm watching the show. I have a great view. The shoulder was not up. So something went wrong here. I don't know if Bailey just forgot to

get his shoulder up if he was supposed to. I don't know if he legitimately got his bell rung and for a few seconds didn't know where he was. It could have been as simple as the referee fucked up. You know, when Paul Turner held up when he wasn't supposed to. MVP jumped off commentary and got into the ring thinking the match was over, and Paul Turner was like, no, no, no, it's just the two and MVP, you know, got right

back out of the ring. So Benjamin got up, he hit a German suplex, he hit the running step up knee in the corner, and then he hit one more superkick and then he won the match. So there's not a dat in my mind that was supposed to be the finish. I mean, they just basically they added a couple of moves and did another superkick, you know, to

make up for the botch. So it's unfortunate that that happened because the two of them were having a pretty good match outside of that little botch there at the end. I thought it was a fun match, probably my favorite one on the show. I think the announcers also did not make a big enough deal about the fact that Lashly and Benjamin are now starting this Gauntlet on Saturday. So the question is now, are they going to go

at it? Are they going to just stand around and wait for Number three to come out and just work together, or are they going to pull an axe and smash at the beginning of the Royal Rumble in eighty nine and be like, all right, bro, it's every man for himself and just beat the holy hell out of each other. I don't know, I just feel like the announcers didn't really dwell on that as much as they should have. Of we had John Moxley and Claudio Castignoli against Orange

Cassidy and Roderick Strong. Strong set up Claudio for a supplex. Moxley clipped the back of Strong's leg. Cassidy checked in and he sent Claudio to the floor. Cassidy went for a dive. Claudio, though, caught him. I pressed him over his head and he walked him over towards the barricade, and he just dropped him down face first, right on the top part of the barricade. After a break, Claudio got a giant swing on Cassidy, but he let him go after only two revolutions, which got booze from the crowd.

Brian Danielson on commentary wondered if maybe Claudio's back was bothering him after blooding guts. Brian, evidently nothing was bothering anybody after blooding guts. Everybody looked aoka. Guess not everybody was tip top till a little while later. Daniel Garcia caused a distraction that allowed Moxley to hit Roddy with a paradigm shift. Moxley had the pin, Cassidy broke it up. Moxley got crouched on the top turn buckle, strong superplexed

him and then tagged out. Garcia caused another distraction. Cassidy, though, fought off Moxley and hit him with an orange punch. Wheeler Dah then hopped the barricade and Cassidy spotted him and chased him around then back into the ring. While the referee was busy getting da out of the ring, Claudio hit Cassidy with a pop up uppercut. Moxley then took advantage. He applied the bulldog choke and the referee almost immediately called for the bell like it was very

very fast. There was no struggle. There was, and the story, I guess is that Claudio knocked him out, you know, or knocked him silly on the uppercut, and then Moxley just sort of picked the bones, took advantage and got the quick win. And when the match was over, the beatdown continued on Cassidy until Kyle O'Reilly ran down to the ring quickly got an ankle lock on Moxley, who frantically tapped out. You'd have put the boots to Kyle, but he would not break the hold. He kept holding

onto it, and the referees couldn't get him off. They were, you know, plating with him to let go of a hold as strong and Orange Cassidy were holding off Daniel Garcia and Uda and Claudio, so finally they managed to pull Moxley out of the ring to safety. Kyle took the microphone and he said, because Moxley gave him a taste for blood last week, he demanded a no holds barred match at full gear, and just like in Blood and Guts, he said, the history books will say that

Moxley tapped out. Kyle came out here man, and even in this promo he was acting like a just a raving lunatic. He looked like a maniac out there. Let me just point out something to you. Now, we had two blood and Guts matches last week right where they gave you as much blood and violence as they could possibly muster. Right with the man with the women, and in between that we had a Hangman Page Powerhouse Hobbs, false count Anywhere match with more craziness. That was the

entire show last week was just insanity. And on the show last week they announced that the main event of Full Gear is going to be a steel cage match, coming off a show where we had two two blood and guts matches in the cage last week, so that was silly enough to follow up on that with another regular cage match. We also already had schedule on this pay per view in a few days Kyle Fletcher and Mark Briscoe for the TNT title in a no disqualification match.

So now we have added Kyle O'Reilly the other Kyle against John Moxley in a no hold BARD match, which is the same fucking thing. We already have a no DQ match on the I forget the cage. We have a no DQ match on that show. Why do we need a no holds Bard match? Why on the same show. I don't understand. I understand doing Kyle and Moxley because they've had, you know, a little feud going on here for about a month now, had a couple of matches together.

Kyle got the big submission win in Blood and Guts last week, So now they're gonna go at it one more time. That's fine, but I'm like, we already have a no DQ match for the TNT Championship on this show. No DQ and no holds bard is the same thing. It's redundant, it's not needed. But here's the other thing about John Moxley. We saw him surrender in Blood and Guts, right,

he lost it for the Death Riders last week. So the first thing that he does on Saturday on Collision, the opening match is the Death Riders, and he's on commentary and he's brushing off the loss. I just want to preach positivity. And all the members of the Death Riders, they seem to have no issue with John Moxley. They're

not even giving him the side eye. Like I said, when we watched the show tonight, and no one was showing any real signs of where a tear except Chris stat Lander on her back from the bed of nails that she landed in. It's as if it never happened. Moxley lost last week and it's just onto the next it's like nothing even happened. So now we know Moxley is going to be wrestling Kyle o'reiley on the pay per view, and Kyle o'reiley should win that match, plain

and simple. Kyle o'reiley got a major win, the biggest win of his career in this company, at the end of Blood and Guts last week. To do what to send him to full gear to just lose to Moxley and give us some fifty to fifty bullshit? You really want to take advantage of a win and give Kyle that much more credibility. And I'm not sure this is really about building up Kyle O'Reilly to be a credible

challenger for any particular title. This likely has more to do with Moxley and the Death Riders and wherever this is going than anything to really help Kyle. But why not That was a major win last week? Why not follow up on that with another win right and really send a message like last week was no Fluke. Plus, it just feeds that much better into the Death Rider's story where Moxley would lose again. That's why I'm changing my prediction for the Pack match. Pack has a match

on that show against Darby Allen. I had Darby winning in light of this match being added to the card. I think it would make more sense to have Moxley submit again and then have Pack win his match against Darby to show that the other members of the Death Riders, they're picking up the slack here right, They're doing what they're supposed to do. Moxley has become the weak link. Moxley's the one who keeps losing. Moxley loses, Pack wins to me, in my mind for the story that hopefully

they're telling, that would make more sense. Maybe they're not telling that story and Moxley just goes back to his winning ways, in which case I'm not fucking sure what we're doing here. So that's been added to the show. In the first of two women's tag team matches still in the opening round, by the way, we had Tony Storm and Mina Shirakawa against Alex Windsor and ReHO. We got new music and matching gear like they have their

own custom entrance now to Tony and Mina. So if you were doubting who's w the championships here in this tournament, I mean that, come on, that's gotta be a sign. They're the only ones I think in this tournament that really got their own custom tag team entrance, so ReHO tagged in. After a little bit, she was used as a projectile as an assisted her Conranas sent Tony to the corner. Riho tried a head scissors on her but got flattened, allowing Mina to tag in and hit a

twisting tornillo. For two. It was a blind tag from Windsor, who hit a stun gun on Mina. As Tony tried to make the save but took a double souplex for her troubles. ReHO scaled the ropes, took out the love bombs that's what they call themselves, took them out with a crossbody on the floor. Later on, Windsor dropped Storm outside with a cannon ball off the apron. ReHO missed a double stomp back inside, allowing Mina to hit a spinning backfist and then she sank in the figure four

leg lock. Storm and Windsor they took turns turning a submission into returning the submission, hold in their partner's favor until firing off dueling head butts, and they collapsed on top of Mina and Rehobe, breaking the submission. Storm and Windsor they tagged back in legally, Windsor hit Lariot attempted a sharpshooter Storm, though escaped. Tony and Mina followed with stereo sweet cheek music. Says Tony spiked Alex with Storm zero for the win to advance to the next round

of the tournament. I just I couldn't get into this. I'm not even saying it was a bad match. I just I couldn't get into this. Technically it was fine, but again it's a foregone conclusion who was going over here, just based on what they did at the end of Blood and Guts last week. All Right, we already knew before the bell rang, we knew who was moving on to the next round. After the match, they threw it to Renee, or I should say the voice of Renee.

We didn't actually see her, but we heard her voice and she had some breaking news. She said, the four team that are in the tournament that have advanced to the semi final round, we'll all compete in a four corners match this Saturday at full gear, and the winning team will get to choose the stipulation for their respective semi final tournament match whenever that takes place. They didn't say when that would be. I'm sure on television next week.

So basically, they're just gonna have a four way on the pay per view to get these women on the show, and whichever team wins they get to pick a stipulation for their next match in the next round. We get enough stipulations in this company, even on this show on Saturday. I don't like having stipulations in this tournament. It's completely unnecessary. We don't need stipulations in the actual tournament. You want to have a four way match just for the hell

of it and just getting them on the show. I mean, that's fine. Maybe there's some other advantage you know that you can provide the winning team. I don't know, but I'm not a fan of eating stipulations to this tournament. I mean, it's gone stipulation crazy here. It's not needed. Alicia Attut was backstage with Kyle Fletcher, Don Kallis, and Mark Briscoe, and the two men have agreed to no physicality here in this segment, and they were asked why such high stakes for their pay per view match. Yes,

that was the question. Fletcher said that this way there's a clear winner and a clear loser, no excuses. Briscoe will thank them for joining the family, because again the stipulation is that if Mark Briscoe loses this match, he must join the don Kallis family because we don't have enough members. I don't know how they can feel the team. They don't have enough. They need more. Mark Briscow will join. We have the young Bucks. They're teasing that they might

join the don Kallis family. I don't want to say anything. I don't want to make any pronouncements here, but I might join the don Kallis family. We got to get some more guys. So the stakes have been set for their TNT title match on Saturday. Brisco said, don't talk to me about family. Every time I step inside that ring, I fight for my family, which is true. I mean,

the guy's got like twelve kids. Actually I think it's nine, But he says he fights for his family and his road family, the conglomeration who he won blooding guts with last week. Failure is not an option. Brisco won't be letting his family down. He'll be making them proud. And so all of a sudden, Kazuchka Okada and Hetchesera they attacked Briscoe from behind. They held him as Don Callis walked into the shot and he said he's going to make Brisco's kids orphans, and Fletcher thanked Okada for not

agreeing to no physicality. Fletcher agreed, I never said anything about Okada though, and Okada said he's glad he could help, whereas Takeshka couldn't. He's such a petty bitch. I love it. We got a Pack video promo on Darby, Allen saying Darby deserved an apology as he promised that he would break Darby's neck, and instead he sends his charred corpse to the hospital. No one has heard from Darby's since Blood and Guts, and it's because he's scared. Maybe Pack

took things too far. But if Darby, the boy who never quits, has a backbone, he'll face him in a wrestling match at full gear. No weapons, no funny games, no bells or whistles. Without those, there's no way someone like Darby can compete with a legitimate athlete like him. And I know, I said before, I'm changing my prediction. It still feels like, you know, it's probably gonna be a Darby win, But I just feel like it works better for the story of Pack wins and Moxley loses.

Now watch them do the opposite. They closed the Dynamite portion of Tonight's Three Hours with Hangman Adam Page against Katsiori Shabata with Samoa Joe at ringside on commentary. If Joe gets involved in this match, he will forfeit his championship match of full Gear. Joe came over to the announced desk to put his headset on and he told Tony Shavanni where he called him the slippery little Piggy

told him you stay right there. Then he politely said hello to ex Caliber and his old friend, Hey Brian Brian Danielson, who asked, are you gonna hurt my friend Tony, and Joe said no, I'm not out here for violence. Hangman rushed Shabata from the crowd. Shabata was coming out and Hangman came out of the crowd and just jumped him, and Joe was incensed. Page launched Shabbata over the timekeeper's table next to Joe, and then he slammed Shabbata's head

on the announced desk. Hangman turned his attention to Joe just long enough for Shabata to hit a running boot on the Apron slammed Hangman against the barricade repeatedly before were setting him up on a chair. Page exploded out and dropped Shabata. As Joe is now at this point losing his mind on commentary. Back inside the ring, Shabbata targeted the taped up neck. I think he had some of that Knisio tape did Hangman on his neck? Danielson asked Joe if he's amped up here tonight due to

losing the Hangman last month. Joe said, no, it's due to stupid questions that I'm being asked. Actually, I'll bet that Joe is amped up for a very different reason. I think Joe is amped up because Twisted Metal was just renewed for a third season on Peacock. I'll bet that has him pretty amped up. Later on, Shabbata countered out of a dead eye and then hit Shattered Dreams

in the corner page rolled through a German. Shabbata sent him into Paul Turner, giving Shabata a chance to hit a low blow, and he sank in a cross arm breaker. Joe said the low blow was a legal grappling move. Shabata went to the ankle logue, but Page rolled through, which left Shabbata holding Page's boot. The wrestle many a twenty finish where Kurt Angle pulled off Eddie Guerrero's boot. So now he's got Hangman's cowboy boot in his hand, and Page fired off a lariat. The boot went flying

straight up into the air. Hangman looks up, he catches the boot on the way down, and he puts the boot back on his foot, goes out to the apron and vaults himself back in with a buckshot lariat, and he gets the win over Shebata. So the story here is that he took out Powerhouse Hobbs last week because Hobbs was not on the show this week he was in the hospital. So he took out Hobbs last week. Tonight it was Shebata, and now Saturday he gets Joe all alone inside the cage where we know nobody can

ever get in or out of these cages. I think Tony Shavani made some dumb shit comment during the match here to that effect where it was like, oh, Joe's going to be trapped in the cage, but nowhere to go. He had the audacity to say this after people were just freely entering and exiting the cage at will last week during Blood and Guts. He had the audacity to make a comment like that. So that's the story going

into this main event. And I thought Joe was great on commentary here, just there's no one who sells intensity better than Samoa Joe. His facial expressions is just the raging on commentary, knowing that he just had to control himself because if he lifted a finger to get involved in this match, he was going to lose his championship match on Saturday. So he was great. And the best part of this that in the finish, I liked the boot flying up into the air and Hangman catching it.

That was a nice touch. So Dynamite Fish ended and Collision begins as Page hits a low blow receipt on Shebata before staring down Joe, and he cuts a promo on Samojo tells Samojo look around, although Joe might be surrounded by thousands of crazy ass fans, so actually we're not that crazy. They were actually uh kind of dead for large swaths of the show here, especially in the third hour. Although I can't blame them. It's kind of a dead zone tonight. But he might be surrounded by

thousands of crazy ass fans, but he's now alone. Said, when Joe walks into the steel cage of full Gear, Page wants him to remember that Joe doesn't have Hobbs and he doesn't have Shabata with him. Says that he wants Joe to remember what Hangman did the last time he was locked in a cage with another man, which

of course was swore of Strickland last year. At all out it would have been nice after the fact for the announcers to mention that, I guess they just assumed that they have their audience and they have no new fans, which may well be true. You know, if Tony Kahan does one thing very well, he certainly focuses on his

diehards and his niche audience. But it would have been nice for the announcers to say something about who he was actually referring to or what match he was referring to, Like, we know because we saw that match and I saw someone stick a needle in another man's cheek, which I did not need to see. So anyway, that was the message that he sent to Simo Joe there. Hangman swears he would have no problem doing it again. Something about what they did here is this is very weird to me.

So we already saw Hangman beat Joe clean right in their first match of Wrestledream Hangman won. Now we're heading into the rematch and Hobbes has been taken out. Shebata has been He didn't really injure him, but I mean Shebada now has been neutralized, and the story is that Joe is going into this match all alone. He's going into this match the challenger is as the underdog after

having already lost the first match. So under any other circumstances, you would think that they're setting up for Joe to win the championship. But I cannot imagine that Joe was winning the championship on Saturday. So it's like they've done all of these things to put Joe at a severe disadvantage only for him to go in there and very likely lose. It's strange. It's just very weird. The collision portion of the night open with Anna Jay and ty

Mellow against Meghan Bain and Marina Shaffir. This was I believe the final opening round match here in the Women's tag team title tournament. This was This did not have the most scintillating start, pretty dull stuff. Anna got worked over the entire commercial break. Things come back. Mellow makes the tag that lasted all of twenty seconds before she tagged Anna back into the match. Bain and Shaffir. They got spiked with double ddts. Double guillotines were applied Baine

and Shaffir. They easily powered out. Shaffir was sent outside. Megan got flattened with a flat liner and a rolling neck breaker. Bain fought off a gory bomb, but Jane managed the Queens Slayer. Only Megan fell back into her own corner, so Marina was able to make the tag. She got a quick takedown into her mother's milk finish. What a name, by the way, what a name for a finish? Mother's milk hm? Anyway, that got her the win. So Megan Bain and Marina Shaffir are moving on to

the next round. Love the Lord says, MJF comes back and cost Hangman the title. Oh, MJF I believe is going to be back on Saturday. I just don't see him factoring into the match where he costs Hangman the belt. But that is an interesting theory if everybody is thinking along the same lines that there's no way Joe's gonna win the title, and then he wins the championship. The problem with that is that he's losing the championship to do what exactly, to just drop it back to Hangman

before World's End. World's End has got to be Hangman a MJF. I just cannot imagine that it's not Hangman MJF. At World's End. Did they turn it into a triple threat? It would be interesting because it was at World's End when MJF lost that title two years ago and he lost it to Samoa Joe. So now Joe is back in the mix here. But to do Joe and MJF makes no sense if you leave Hangman out of it. So, I mean, what do you what are you looking at there?

We're looking at a triple threat. I'm not saying it's impossible. I can see it. I can see the ultimate degradation here of being MJF, you know, costing Hangman his championship and laughing at his face. I don't know. I mean, maybe there's something to it again, just the way that everything has been set up here, it should point to a Samoa Joe win. I just I'm having trouble seeing, you know, let's maybe they're not doing the MJF match

of World's End. Maybe they're gonna do one more match after this with Hangman and Joe and they're just going to bounce the belt back. You could do that. You could do that as I don't know. I don't know. I would just think, yeah, you would want MJF on that show. I also don't know his movie schedule. You know, he's been out filming a movie, so I'm just sort of assuming that he'll be back in time to you know, build to the last show of the year. Maybe he

won't be around for a few more weeks. I don't know. They've been very quiet about MJF, and Tony really hasn't had much to say about him. It's very strange. Anyway, the second half of this was a little bit better than the first half, but you know, again, after that finish of blood and guts, you knew exactly who was winning this match. I mean, there was no question about it. Crowd didn't really care much about this either. I think that was part of it. I also think there was

the three hour fatigue setting in here. After the match, the Timeless Love bombs Tony storm Mina Shirakawa. They appeared up on the screen. Tony said that they pitched their show to God and he ordered the entire box set this weekend. They won't stop until they wear Baine and Shafir's skulls as a pearl necklace. If they win the match, they could pick any stipulation like apartment wrestling or Mina suggest a taipaid death match, which Tony liked the sound

of that. I'm sure both Tonys did so. Tony says that once John Moxley sees what they do to his little women, he'll piss himself with blood. We have Kazuchka Okada against Mascara Dorata. This was a double Jeopardy match. You might be thinking, what the hell is that. Well, the Kallis family will get to uh, well, we'll get a future shot at the CMLL trios titles. Why I don't know. I don't I don't know. I don't know, but they will get a future shot at the CMLL

trios titles. My god, that's if Okada wins. If Dorata wins, he will get a future shot at the Unified Championship. Sure, these two and Takashta, I will point out three of them had as I recall the match of the night back it all out. They had an incredible three way match, lit the whole crowd up. It was just one of the best matches all year. So I was at least interested in seeing what these two would do. Obviously, the environment was not nearly the same. There weren't as many

people in the building. They were very quiet for you know, a lot of what they were seeing here in this third hour. What they had though was a solid match, But more than once here these two just were not on the same page. And there were actually two different times, off the top of my head that I could remember, two different times where Derata looked like he nearly killed himself. He crashed and burned very badly on a four to

fifty splash attempt. You know, normally when somebody goes for a four to fifty these days, guy moves out of the way. They just rolled through. He did not roll through. He splatted on the mat and landed in such a way where I was a little concerned maybe he actually legitimately hurt himself that he was kind of holding his arm after that to the side, but then he kept going and doing spots, so you know, he seemed okay.

But that gave Okada a chance to hit the air raid crash neck breaker across the knee top rope elbow by Okada then led to a rain Maker middle finger pose. Dorata fought him off, only to run into a beautiful Okada dropkick. Dorada flipped out of a rain Maker into a wonky looking roll up only got two. Dorada did hit the four to fifty splash, this time for a

very close near fall. Both men fought up top. Dorada then tried a super hurricanrana and Okada tried to turn it into a power bomb on the way down, only for Dorota to land right on his head or nearly on his head, maybe it's more on his shoulder, but it was a very scary landing for Derata on the way Do you can even see the people in the crowd like gasping and holding their mouths like, holy shit,

is he alive? Ocatta finally put them away with another dropkick, flush and then the rain maker, and he got the win. This was not bad, but this was not great either. So Don Callus is at ringside. He gets on the mic as soon as the match is over and he said that with that win, they will be cashing in their Trios title match, not the aw Trios titles. No, no, no, I want I want to clarify here, this is the CMLL Trios titles. And when are they going to get

this match? I give you one guess, Saturday. We don't have enough matches. We need one more. We have another match now added to the card on Saturday, but it will not be on the main card. The match will be on the pre show. This is going to be on the Tailgate Brawl pre show and it is going to be the Unified champion Kazuska Okada teaming with Hetcha Sero and the returning IWGP champion Kenoski Takeshta and Okanda.

They hit the camera on Okada in the ring as Callus was making these announcements, and he had a big, cheesy smile on his face until Callus mentioned Takeshda and then his whole demeanor changed that the expression on his face went from happiness to I don't know. He just looked incredulous. He's just sadness and disbelief. Just the way he sold it with his expression, I thought was great. So look, I mean, they're gonna continue the Okada and

Takeshta stuff in that match, they're probably gonna win. But I have no issue with them continuing the angle. I just I think we're all I mean, I know the Sikos will disagree. I think we're all tapped out. As far as the matches on Saturday, I think we're good. I think we're good now. But it's also weird having Okada on the pre show. So the main card is already full. I'm not advocating that you got to move it to the main car. It's the CMLL Trios titles on an aw show, so it's like whatever, you can

have that on the pre show. But really, I just look at that. I'm sure it'll be a really good match, but it's more just to further the Ocata Takeshta angle than anything else. They closed finally with the Hometown Girl Here in Boston, Mercedes Monette against the returning Red Velvet to crown the undisputed Ring of Honor Women's Television Champion. I just called the Mercedes match on Saturday that she had when she won title number thirteen. She is now

the APAC Wrestling Women's Champion. That is a Malaysian promotion and called her main event match against North Phoenix Diana. And so now here she is and we have This was not title number fourteen that she was going for. This was really just to make it official. She already had the interim title. So if she wins here, it's not like, oh, she wins number fourteen now she already has the title. It just she'll be the undisputed champion now. Title number fourteen is what she's going for on Saturday

at Full Gear. That would be if she beat Chris Statland. As far as why this match is happening, Red Velvet's been hurt for many months. She hasn't wrestled since June. Again, what did we really need an interim ring of honor Women's Television Champion. We did not. We did not. It would have been fine for Red Velvet. Just take the title from her crowned new champion. Let her get the first shot at it when she comes back. Tony likes

doing interim titles. He's done it many times before. He'll do it many times in the future, so because of that we ended up with this match. So the match spilled out to the floor where Monet shoved Velvet into Chris Statlander, who was sitting in on commentary, so Statlander got knocked over. Back in the ring, Velvet tried to do the Eddie Guerrero spot by tossing one of the belts to Mercedes and then lying down on the mat wall.

Referee Aubrey Edwards was tied up with Statlander. Edwards questioned Mercedes, but Velvet rolled her up for a quick two count. Late in the match, Velvet dodged a corner Meteora and she dropped Mercedes on her head with a released German. Velvet applied the octopus hold Mercedes, though countered with a

lung blower. Both women now were fighting up in the corner and Velvet hits a wheelbarrow victory roll off the ropes, which was a pretty good spot, got a nice reaction, did not get a victory for her because the impact ended up causing both women to be down, so both women got back up on the ropes this time, though Mercedes turned it into an avalanche. It was looking like an avalanche tombstone, but we've seen MJF do that before off the ropes, but instead it was an avalanche lung blower,

which looked great. And she didn't even really need to transition into a statement maker or anything like that. She just covered her and she pinned her because that is a finish. It looked great. Don't need to win with anything else but that, And so with that, Mercedes Monette just went from the interim television champion to the official

Ring of Honor Women's Television Champion. She immediately climbed on top of the announced desk, held up both belts, the interim belt the official belt, which is weird because it's the same championship, but the official belt has a red strap and her interim title has a black strap. So she's posing and dancing with them on top of the desk.

Chris Statlander is standing down below looking up at her, and Mercedes throws the belts at Statlander and then jumps off the desk with a Meteora takes her down to the ground, and then she applies the statement maker on Chris Statlander and the babyface champion begins tapping out and then Mercedes let's go of the hold and she gets back up on the desk and she's posing and she's dancing, and Statlander just because they're going off the air now,

Statlander just pops back up, picks up red velvet, and carries her to the back like nothing happened. I'm like, what a weird way to end the show. I mean, I get they were in Boston and so they wanted to give Mercedes her little celebration, and she had her fans there, but the way they did that the closing minute where Statlander is in the hold and taps out and then just pops up and picks her up and

carries her off very very strange. I thought the way that they closed the show here, But what it means for Full Gear is what I've been saying all along, which is that Mercedes is going to lose. And there are still some people who are convinced otherwise, and you have every right to feel that way based on the way this run has gone. But I'm telling you, for the story that they seem to be telling, and the story that I think they should tell, she has to

lose on Saturday. And I think this was a good sign. You know, last week in Blood and guts. Statlander put her down through a table with a simoon drop, and I said, well, let's see what happens. There's one more show left, and sure enough, Mercedes got the last laugh here on this show. She tapped out Chris Statlander and she won the match, and she's posing with all of her belts. She's losing. She's losing on Saturday, because that

is the story. The story is that she all of these championships and the one blemish on her record this year they said thirty and one. You know who. The one is Tony Storm that was for the aw Women's World title in Texas. She lost. Then she's gonna lose on Saturday, and she will eventually win that championship, but when she does, she's not gonna have thirteen titles in her luggage that she's transporting with her to every city. She'll be beltless at that point, and then it'll be

okay for her to win the championship next year. Now is not that time. So watching what happened here at the end of the show only reinforces that prediction in my mind that Chris Statlander's title is safe, at least for a little while. Longer I'm fairly confident that the outcome will be very different at Full Gear this year than it was at last year's. Full Gear didn't work out too well for Chris Statlander last year. I think she'll be fine this weekend. And that was your Dynamite

and Collision combo show. Please don't do these again. I hate these combo show I really I hate these combo shows. Let's go through these predictions real quick. I got the full card here. You guys can chime in with your own thoughts and predictions. This is the current, hopefully final Full Gear card. Pre show starts at seven Eastern on Saturday. Main card kicks off at eight pm Eastern. We have on the pre show Big Boom aj of the Costco guys.

He's back and he's teaming with QT Marshall against Rocky Romero and Trentperetta. I'm sure that will be a win for Big Boom and QT, because Rocky Romero never wins shit. We have the Acclaimed, We have the Bang Bang Gang, Big Bill and Brian Keith and the Outrunners. This is going to be a two hundred thousand dollars tag team match. Why why not? The Acclaim will win the cash. It should be the Outrunners, but Tony doesn't do shit with the Outrunners. They never win anything, so I don't see

why they would win here. And just added Okata Takeshta, Hetchi Sero challenge Sky Team Mascariderata, Mystico and Neon for the CMLL Trios Championships. I'm gonna go that we have new champions. I think Gokata Takeshta and Hetchisara win the belts. That's my prediction. Otherwise, if they're gonna lose, then Hetchesaro is taking the losing fall. But I think they're gonna win. Then on the main card we have the Casino Gauntlet match. We know that Bobby Lashley is number one, Shelton Benjamin

is number two. We know Ricochet is in, the Gates of Agony are in, and we know that jet Speed is in. And I believe that's all we know. A lot of people may think that rikishe is gonna win the championship, especially after what happened tonight. For on a bone, We'll give him something to do. I'm going with Switchblade Jay White. There's the name you haven't heard in a while. He's been out hurt, he's had a string of bad

luck when you know it comes to injuries. I honestly don't even know what his status is, but he's been gone long enough and I feel like he's someone who could potentially benefit. He could take this new championship and maybe, you know, help elevate it to a certain level that is maybe right alongside the TNT title. It gives him, you know, something worthwhile to do upon his return, as I don't see him immediately being vaulted into the world

title picture, and he shouldn't be. He shouldn't be vaulted into the world title picture. I hope we get to see Switchblade back, and if we do, I think he's gonna win the championship. That's my prediction. Then we have the million Dollar Match, which we'll have Kenny Omega and the Jurassic Express team of Jack Perry and Lucasaurus taking on the Young Bucks and Josh Alexander. I originally had the Heels. I am changing my prediction. I am going with Omega and Jurassic Express, and I do think that

this leads to a reunion of the Elite. We have the women's tag team four Corners match with all four teams that remain in the tag team title tournament, So Tony and Mina, Meghan Baine and Marina Shafir, Willow Nightingaleen Harley, Cameron Sky Blue, and Julia Hart. The winners get to choose the stipulation for their next tournament match. I am going to go with Meghan Baine and Marina Shafir for the win because I think they lose to Tony and Mina. I still have Tony Amina winning the titles, so at

least here they get a win. They could pick the stip for their match. That's really up the two matches that are left in this second round. That's the one that's the bigger of the two matches because this directly stems from the finish of Blood and Guts last week, right, and that was that was a blooding guts match and that was a pretty intense finish there. That really is the match that should have the stipulation. And I don't see Tony Amina winning now. I see them winning at

the end. So I'm going with Megan and Marina. They win, they picked the step what the stip is, who the hell knows. I don't think we should have stipulations at all in this tournament. I don't like that, but this is what they've chosen to do. We have Mark Briscoe and Kyle Fletcher no disqualification for the TNT Championship. This should be a win for Mark Briscoe. He is not joining the Kallis family, and we will have a new TNT champion. John Moxley will face Kyle O'Reilly no holds barred.

My head in my heart are telling me two different things. My head tells me John Moxley, my heart, and what I would like to see them do is Kyle O'Reilly. I'm gonna go with Kyle. I'm gonna go with what I think should happen. I think Kyle O'Reilly should win this match. And then I think in Darby Allen and Pack, I think Pack should win. I think Boxley loses. I think Pack wins, and let's progress this death Rider's thing to that next chapter of the story. Clearly the story

is not going to be over for some time. Well, let's at least progress to whatever this next chapter is going to be. And I think that's the way you do it. Kyle wins, Pack wins. We have Brodido against FTR for the tag team titles. I think we have new champions in FTR Chris Statlander and Mercedes Monet. For the Women's World Championship, there should absolutely be and I believe will be a win for Chris Statlander. And then in the main event, Hangman Adam Page against Samoa Joe

Steel cage for the AW World Championship. You know now that you mentioned that before in the chat, it would be interesting if MJF makes his presence felt during the match and is no disqualification because in a cage match there are no dqs, and it leads to Samoa Joe winning the championship and Joe gets as he did last time. It wasn't a very long run. Oh he got a few months though. I mean Joe won the title at

World's End. He lost it to Swerve at Dynasty, so he had it from the very really the beginning of the year to early April, or maybe it was late April late April, so he had a little decent run out of it if he was to win the championship. I don't see him having the title nearly as long this time. But I'm just not sure that they're going to do that. I'm gonna stick with my original pick. I had Hangman winning. Everything they've done, honestly, even tonight

points to a different outcome. But I'm going to stick to my guns and say that Hangman retains. We have MJF make a surprise return postmatch. He can't cash in his title contract because the rules have changed, so now you've got to give at least a week's notice. And I think all roads lead to Hangman and MJF at World's end if I had to make a prediction about what the main event will be on that show. But can I see Samoa Joe still being involved in this

and maybe, you know, turning it into a three way. Sure, but the real issue here is Hangman and MJF. That's what they have to circle back to, you know, that's the match to do. So I got Hangman retaining here. So that is the full gear card, barring any additional matches that are added on social media in the next few days, which, by the way, there very well could be. I don't think so though. I mean, the the pre show, I'm pretty sure is only an hour, you know, sometimes

it's two hours, hours or ninety minutes. It's a seven o'clock start time, so you only have an hour. They already have three matches, so I'm pretty sure we've got the card lockdown at this point. Be aware that I will not be here on Friday for the SmackDown review. I will be in Chicago. Will be in Chicago because House of Glory. We have a sold out show at Logan Square Auditorium. And as you see here on the poster, that's just some of the action that we've got. Pretty

good card. I gotta tell you, first time ever, amazing Red and Tyler Breese. Very happy to be bringing Tyler Breese in. Got to get the full entrance. Charles Mason defends the hog World Championship against Cedric Alexander. We got the rascals going to be in action against main events. Zillafa two is back. Who will he be wrestling. We'll see Moustafa Ali against Marcus Mathers. Indie hartw Well defends her title again, Shotzi and more. So there's no tickets left,

but you can watch on Triller TV plus. Guess who's going to be on the call. This guy right here, I'll be calling the actions. So if you're not watching SmackDown, and many of you have already checked out of SmackDown, then go ahead and check out. Our return to the Windy City should be a lot of fun. I'm looking forward to it. Samoa Joe crashing out is really funny, says Dried Chicken and Turkey. Joe is the best part of that main event. But Joe was great. He wasn't

even in the match. Today's episode is sponsored by Better Help. One thing I hate about the Fall season is how it gets darker earlier. Makes me feel like I somehow have fewer hours in the day to get stuff done.

Who has the better retirement tour currently, Hiroshi Tanahashi or John Cena, Well, I mean it's just two totally different tours. I mean, Sena's obviously got more eyeballs on what he's doing, and

he's had bigger matches. You know, you had a couple of matches with Cody, you had a rematch with Punk and Orton along the way AJ So his retirement tour has been more prolific. I can name off better matches that I have personally have watched from seen as retirement tour. A lot of the matches that Tanahashi has had, I mean there's been like a lot of tags. He's been more active than Sina. So again, it's it's really just

two totally different tours. Like Sena has a limited number of dates, Tanahashi's been you know, he's been working all year and working with younger guys, working with older guys, So I haven't really seen too much of Tanahashi's tour. It's unfair for me to judge honestly, doesn't change the fact that so much of what they did with Sina early on was a fucking botch. Also, I not as WWE doesn't counter program AW shows anymore. Is there a reason why? What are you talking about? They just did

in September. I mean, they're not gonna do it every month, but they're absolutely still doing it and they will continue doing it into next year. We just had Wrestle Palooza. That's why All Out got moved in September. It wasn't that long ago, dude, it was well now it's officially November twentieth, it was literally two months ago. Believe me,

they're still counter programming aw mactub. Why isn't rock It guaranteed Rushmore Guy biggest ratings, attendance, pay per view draw goat Mike Austin because he just wasn't he dude, He wasn't as big. He might be bigger now, but like at the peak, Austin just hit different and without Austin getting hot when he did in the way that he did, they don't have the successes that they had. It really hinged on him and the whole Austin mcmanonthing getting over.

So Austin is in that rarefied air, so was Hogan. People would have said the same thing I think about Savage, Dude, Oh welcome, Hogan gets all the praise, what about Savage? Savage is great, Rock is great, But Hogan was the guy. Austin was the guy. They they transcended at just the right time, and everything else flowed from that. Rock's not on my Mott Rushmore. He could be on yours. He's

not on mine. He's not on a lot of people's. Uh. Sena versus Brian White, t J, Triple H better overall for you, better overall of Sena, Sina White two Jay. I wasn't really a fan of that for me personally, Brian just a much better match. Yeah. Sena against Triple H never never did anything for me. I was never a fan of their matches, their feud eh boring. If I had to rank them, I'd go Brian, then y two J, then Triple H. Dude here seventy three says this was more a go to sleep show than a

go home show. I agree. I was struggling to keep up with things. Midway through. I was I was pretty well done with this show, says, and I'm trying to understand what the point of Blood and Guts was. They're running back a lot of the same feud Saturday with more stipulations. Yeah, it's just it's very dumb. It's just it's very stupid. Hey, guys, Maven here with a five dollars super chat. Eddie botches a spinning backfisted all out

on September twentieth. Mina botches a spinning backfist today, November nineteenth. Maybe we get a third botched backfist that dynamite on January twenty first. Well, I'm going to leave that up to you. Mark that date down, and when we get to that show, let's see what happens. Maybe we'll get another one. Baby and Garcia Kyle versus Max should be a thirty minute ultimate submission. Oh no, no, it should not. No,

I don't want to see that. There is no there's no reason for Maxley and Kyle to go thirty minutes. This is another problem with these aw shows. It's you know, they give you a lot of matches, but there are matches in the middle of this card that go way longer than they need to. The The Brisco and Kyle Fletcher match at Wrestle Dream twenty five minutes for that match? Why just to have a second one. I don't want to see Moxley in a thirty minute anything. I mean Moxley.

Moxley can be great, you know, with the right opponent and everything, But Moxley and Kyle in a thirty minute match on this show with ten or eleven other matches absolutely not Arabian Night. Do they not know how to sell big moves and finishers in aaw shaking my head, nothing matters. I guess they all watched PWG growing up. They did. Actually, many of them competed in PWG. I believe Daniel Garcia was the last PWG champion still is

so Statlander getting up ten seconds later was dumb? Yeah, the Statlander stuff at the end was very weird, the way that all transpired. Boss Toys, are we used to Pack looking that way? Yet? Because I'm not also nice to see Samoa Joe continue to intimidate Tony Shavani just by existing. Yeah, Pack, I'm still getting over this new look. It's the hair, Alex says, brother solo. How in the world did Diesel and Sean main event over Elt and Bambam.

What was Vince thinking behind that decision? Also, what did you think of the Diesel and Shawn Michael's match. I'm not really a big fan of that match. It's not a bad match, but I don't like it nearly as much as they are good friends better enemies match. And the reason why lte main event of the show is because they've always been I mean, they've always been starfuckers in this company, you know. And if they got a celebrity to come in to do a match back then,

they were paying him. I think they paid him about half a million dollars for that match. They were gonna get their money's worth. They were putting him in that main event. They had all the other NFL guys out there, all the celebrities they brought in, paid a lot of money to get him to do that match, So it was always going to be the main event. And Big Hoss ranked these six wrestlers futures and potential bron Breaker Dom Jacob fought to ol Befemi, Trick Williams, and Javon Evans. Also,

I need Athena in WWE and on SmackDown. She would be a tremendous addition to SmackDown. But she's not going nowhere. I have said. I just said this on TNT last night. I said it on my platform. This company needs to build around five guys. If we're looking at the guys right now, and I think they will five guys as their future and in no particular order, it's Dom bron Breaker, Jacob Fatu, Oba Femi, and Javon Evans. Just like in those five guys alone, they could help carry this company

for years to come. Me and never know how things are gonna go. Injuries and you know, things like that. Shit happens, things don't pan out. But as of right now, like I look at if I had it, like, look at what's that nucleus of guys. Those are the five guys right there. I don't like ranking them because no one knows, like which one of them is going to hit it big. It could be dumb for all we know. You know, he's he's already got five years of being

established on TV. You know, just looking at these guys right now, they all have great potential to be top guys in the company. I think Oba may have the greatest. I might have to put Oba first honestly, you know, and then maybe fought to and then Breaker and then dom and then trick. I don't know. I hate ranking them because we just don't know where they're gonna end up. But they're in good hands as long as they know what they're doing with them, you know, and they utilize

them and book them properly. The talent is there. You can't say, oh my god, where are we going to find the future. The future is right there, you know. The future is now. Future is staring you right in the face. Doctor Scorpio. Aw needs Michael Myers in blood and guts at this rate. I mean, they set people on fire, they attempted murder, and yes, I watched the movies.

I enjoyed them. Well, i'll tell you what, man, If you would have just come into Dynamite tonight and I had no idea that last week was blood and guts, I never would have known. If Pac didn't mention Darby being set on fire, I never would have known. You're gonna do that level of brutality and violence. You got you gotta wear those wounds of war. The closest thing was sky Blue and her backstage promo. If you're really squinted and you looked hard, you could kind of see

a little scar along the hairline. But that was it pretty much. Oh what a way, what a waste that opportunity to really sell the brutality of blood and guts. But this feels like nothing matters anyway. Full Gear is on Saturday, so we'll talk about that, I'm sure on the podcast. I have a lot to say on the podcast this weekend. Hey Duff's VIDs with A four ninety nine. Hey Solo, what are your top three or five Survivor series pay per views? I want to watch one one

or so before Survivor Series twenty twenty five. Well, then you're in luck because on the WWE Vault channel they just uploaded one the other day, Survivor Series eighty nine. Uh and that was literally what two three days ago? I think they streamed that one. Go check that one out. It's on their channel right now. Survivor Series eighty nine is probably one of them. For me. I really enjoyed ninety, which had that ultimate Survivor's match at the end, which

they never did again. Two thousand and two is a pretty good one. M God. You know, for me personally, I may go eighty nine, ninety I like ninety five. Ninety six. Ninety six had Sewn and Sid in the main event, which was Sid's best match, the first Brett Hart Steve Austin match, which is a classic. They had Rock's debut on that show, you know, as far as historical significance goes. But I think just for Sean and Sid and Breton Breton Austin alone, ninety six has to

be up there. Yeah, ninety five is underrated. I like ninety five, but yeah, if you're looking for one to go check out, the easiest one that you're going to be able to grab is on their Vault channel. Go check out eighty nine. Always love the team names back then, the Hulkmedias and the Million Dollar Team, the Vipers and the Visionaries. Vince doing all the intros really made it feel special, you know, really got you pumped up at

the beginning of the show. I think one of the things that I really can't stand about the weekly shows now on TV is how just they all blend together. There's nothing like when they come on the air. There's nothing to really get you excited, Like Raw comes on the air. There's no proper intro anymore. They did away with the intro. There's no more intro from Monday Night Raw. There's no intro video. They don't come into the arena the pyro's going off and everything to really get your

blood pumping. You know, they have fucking Travis Scott singing the raw things. So they come on the air. Here's who's coming in with their coffee at three o'clock in the afternoon, walking pretending to have a conversation with the person next to them. Like, how fucking lazy are they with these shows? Man? What happened? What happened to the weekly shows? Man? When the show comes on the air, they get you excited. It's missing one of the many

things that is missing from these weekly shows. All right, I'll see you guys in Chicago and back here on Monday. Until then, take care,
