Transcript

We should lowered the SoundOff flag here at half mass because on a day where Daryl Hall and John Oates have gone to war, and if I can't even say they've gone to war, Daryl Hall has taken out a restraining order on John Oates. We don't have much more in the way of information about this. I cannot tell you how devastating this is to be. This has single handedly ruined my Thanksgiving. When I read that news earlier, I was just

devastating. Hopefully they can work things out, Hopefully they can get back on the same page here. Man. I grew up listening to Hall and Oates. They're my favorite duo of all time. I don't want to hear that they have problems. I need them to be together. I went to go in Madison Square Garden to see them a few years ago. Come on, man, Thanksgiving well tonight we had the start of the Continental Classic here on

aw Dunham. This is of course Tony Kaanzan to the g One Climax, and we now know the names of the twelve men who are in the tournament. They are divided into two groups. We have the Blue Group, not Blue Man Group. We have the Blue Group and the Gold group, and tonight it was all about the Gold group. But let's start with the Blue group because in the Blue group we have the reigning Ring of Honor and new

Japan Strong open Weight Champion Eddie Kingston. Why is it important to point out that Eddie Kingston is in this tournament because at full gear, Eddie Kingston said that he would be taking his Ring of Honor World Heavyweight title and his new Japan Strong open Weight title and defending them both in the tournament. And the way that he described it is he said he would defend it in every match

that he would have in this tournament. Now, it's round robin style, so depending on what block you're in or you know, group, you will wrestle every single person in your group one time. There's gonna be a lot of matches in this tournament. Now. Tony Khank kind of walked that back a little bit earlier on they had a little show on YouTube. Him and

Tony Shavani were sitting at the table. They had the new Japan Strong open Weight title, they had the Ring of Honor World title, and they had the brand new continental title which was covered and they never did show us what the new belt looks like, I guess they're holding off. They're gonna show us at some point on the television. But Tony Khank clarified because it was very confusing, like is he defending the championships in every single match? And

so what happens if Eddie Kingston loses in his very first match. Let's say to you know, Brody King, does that make Brody King the new Ring of Honor World Champion, a new japan Strong open weight champion, and you just play hot potato with the belts the entire tournament. So Tony Khan clarified earlier today he said that Kingston's titles will not be on the line in every

single match. So I guess if Kingston doesn't advance to the finals, then I presume his two championships would be held up, they would be vacated, and then in the finals of the tournament, it would go to the winner along with the new continental title. And the way that they described it,

so basically it would be one unified title represented by three championship belts. So you'll have three belts, but they will represent one champion and that will be the Continental Champion's that's my understanding of how this is going to work or a modern American triple Crown winner is the way they described it on television as Tony Kahan loves his you know, Japanese wrestling, in Japanese wrestling history, and they did this in all Japan many years ago, the triple crown, so

he wants to do a triple crown here in aw. Still not clear to me what that means for the future of the Ring of Honor World title as far as the ROH title lineage, As far as you know, is the new Continental Champion going to be the de facto top champion on Ring of Honor? I mean, is that what that means? We don't know. We haven't gotten total clarity on that. It would strike me that that would be the case, but we don't know. This all feels very unnecessary to me.

When I talked about the Continental Classic previously, I said, this is before they announced what was going to be online, and I said, what would make the most sense in this tournament is to have the winner. Now. You want to give them a plaque, you want to give them a trophy, you want to give them a customary title belt like they did for

the Owen Hart Foundation tournament. That's fine, but the winner of this tournament should be in line for a shot at the AW World Heavyweight Championship, because Tony Khan even said when the announcement was first made and Brian Danielson pirate Pirate Danielson with his iPad was standing right next to him, I guess it was

a bandage, not an eyepatch. But he said, twelve of the top names in AW would be in this tournament, and so they should be fighting for a shot at the world championship, and that would have made a hell of a lot easier. So instead they took this in a totally different direction. And there are certain things in certain aspects here that are still not entirely clear to me, so we'll have to wait and see what they now. So I think that would have been the right way to go. Eddie Kingston,

though, is in the blue group. Here's who else is in the blue group. Brian Danielson is in the blue group andrede Ledlo Claudio Castignoli, so two members of the Blackpool Combat Club are in the same group. Daniel Garcia is in there as well, and Brody King representing the House of Black. So we have House of Black and Blackpool Combat Club representation in the Blue

group. So we know Daniel Garcia is going to be wrestling both Brian Danielson and Claudio in this group, and so it makes me wonder given the story they started to tell with him, it looks like, Okay, maybe he's going to break away again from the sports entertainment stuff. He's going to embrace his inner pro wrest Is this gonna end with him possibly joining the Blackpool Combat Club? You know, when he wrestles Claudia, for example, is there

gonna be a mutual respect there when that's over? Could that be his story arc coming out of this tournament where he doesn't win, but it's finally what allows him to break away from what he's been doing, and maybe he ends up joining the BCC. I could see that happen. That's the Blue group. Now let's talk about the Gold group. The Gold group in this tournament, Mark Brisco, John Moxley, Jay Lethal Rusche, Switchblade, J White,

and Swerve strickly conspicuous by their absence from this list. No Kenny Omega in this tournament. No Kenoski Takeshta in this In fact, no member of the Don kallis family at all in this tournament. No Malachi Black, which was surprising that he wouldn't be one of the twelve names in this tournament. Andrade is in there, but Malachi Black is not because Malachi and Andrade have had issues before. But it's almost as if the Black Mass to Brian Danielson

has been completely forgotten about. It would have made a lot of sense for him to be in the same block, or at least be in the tournament and maybe build to Brian Danigelson and Malachi Black, whether it's the finals, whether it's just a match in their block, and Malachi is not even part of the group. What that tells me the fact they put brody King in there and non Malachi, is that they might want brody King to eat a lot of pins and so brody King is going to be taking a lot of

losses in this tournament. They might be doing that to protect Malachi and say, Okay, we don't want to beat him all these different times, or if he's not going to win the tournament, we don't want him to be in there, and so we'll put brody King in there instead. It's disappointing now some of the names that are missing. And I know, you know, Mega is going to be wrestling for the tag team title soon and you can explain that one away. But there are other names that should have been

in this tournament that are not. But I don't hate the lineup because if you look at the lineup, if you look at the names that are in this tournament, it's a stacked lineup. I mean, it is a loaded lineup of talent in this tournament, even with the names that are missing from there. Now, by my count, as I look at these lists and I'm counting them out here, I would say half the field, right,

you got twelve guys in this tournament. I would say, realistically, you're looking at about half the field as realistic potential winners of this tournament, realistic Triple Crown champions at the end of this tournament, and you go down this list again. Brian Danielson. Brian Danielson was the first name announced. Brian Danielson is arguably the biggest name in the entire tournament. You would think, well, it's his for the taking. Not so fast. I don't necessarily

think he's the favorite to win. He's one of the favorites, but not necessarily my pick who I think is going to win the entire thing. But he's got to be on the list, right, So you put Brian Danielson on there, Andrade. I don't see Andrade winning this tournament, so you cross him off. Claudia's not winning. Daniel Garcia is an interesting one.

Daniel Garcia, like I said, there could be a whole other story here where maybe you know him potentially joining the Blackpool Combat Club or at least breaking away from Parker and Minard. But Daniel Garcia is someone who they had started pushing in that direction well over a year ago when it looked like he was going to leave the Jericho Appreciation Society, and it turned out to be a big swerve and he just went right back to doing what he was doing.

But up until that point he was starting to build a little bit of momentum. Now where he would have gone, I don't know. I don't know how far he would have gotten if he would have broken away. Then as a babyface, he would not be the AW World Champion. But where would he be in the pecking order of AAW Would he be in a worse position, would he be in a better position? Possible he would be in a worse PASI issue. They have a lot of talent in case you couldn't tell,

they have a surplus of talent and top names in this company. Dangle Garcia, talented as he is, is not a top name. Could this be a way to get him there? Could this be a way where he pulls out the win. He's the dark horse, he pulls out the win at the end, and they use this tournament as a way to rehab him and try to elevate him to that next level. Yes, that is possible, So I would actually, i'd probably was stick him on the list of

potential winners. I would include him on that list. Brody King is not winning this tournament, you get into the gold group. Mark Briscoe is not winning this tournament. Jay Lethal Jay Leitho was not winning this tournament. Jay Leitho is not winning shit in aw That much is clear just based on his booking. So Jay Lethal's not winning. John Moxley has to be on the list. Danilson's on that list, so is John Moxley. John Moxley could

win the entire thing. Rushe not winning this tournament? Jay White? Possibly, Yes, I would put j White on that list as well. And then we get to Swerve Strickland. Swerve Strickland, who pulled out a win in the most violent match in AW history, one of the most violent fucking matches that I've seen in my entire life at Full Gear. That was a sick, violent, disturbing match that we had on that pay per view the

other night, and he pulled out the win two in a row. Now that's back to back pay per view wins over Hangman Page, a former AAW world champion. What did I say coming out of that match when he picked up that win at Full Gear? And I made the comment, I said, the two most important words when it comes to Swerve Strickland, more important even than the win that he got over the weekend. What next? What next? Where do you go from here? Because it's kind of like Austin

Theory pinning John Cenair WrestleMania. That sounds great, right, he pins the greatest of all time, as they love to call him, a former sixteen time world champion. What next? We saw what was next for Austin Theory? The answer was not much. So the key is always in the follow up. It's nice that they put him over to in a row. I'm impressed that Tony Kahan had the guts to do that, But now, what are you going to do with him? What is the plan? Because MJF.

He's got Samoa Joe, he's got Wardlow breathing down his neck, the Devil, He's got all kinds of people gunning for him. Right, He's already got his next probably three to six months worth of feuds all mapped out. It would seem like to me, maybe not six, but you know, he's all accounted for right now as far as what he's doing. So what are you going to do with Swerve? Strictly he has to rock it to the top of the list of favorites to win this tournament. You have

to build on that momentum. You have to piggyback on that momentum in some way. If he's in the tournament, he has to at least go to the finals. He has to rack up enough points go to World's End, and even if he doesn't win, he should be in the finals. But I would also say this, I would say there's an argument against him winning because when I talk about would Swerve and I say what's next? What's next for him? Right? Honestly, they should be building him for the AW

World Heavyweight title, and it's not gonna be at world's end. It could be at revolution, if not revolution, maybe by double nothing. But he needs to be in that mix. You need to get him there. If he wins this tournament, he becomes the Triple Crown winner, right, whatever the hell that means. Say he wins the Ring of Honor World title, Whoop dee, do he wins the new japan Strong open weight title. Whoop dee? Do he wins the continental title? Who cares? Now he's got

the Triple Crown. If anything, that takes him away from challenging for the AW World title. I would much rather be preparing him for that than have him run around the world in different promotions defending this title, because this is the best that you have for So there's an argument on both sides to be made that if he wins, it actually works against him. It's like a

consolation prize, and he's better than that. So if he's not in their world title plans anytime in the near future, then fine, there's no harm in having him win the Triple Crown. He can add that to his resume. But I really think that there should be very serious consideration to him being in the mix in the early part of twenty twenty four. This man is

a future AEW world champion in this company. Moxley and Eddie Kingston is another one that I wrote down here as far as potential finals in this tournament. If Eddie Kingston is putting both of his belts on the line, you're pretty lame if he didn't make it to the finals. I don't see Eddie winning the entire thing, so I think he's losing those belts no matter what. But him and John Moxley have history together. He and John Moxley are you

know, they're good friends. And for a while there you remember Eddie was trying to talk Moxley out of you withdrawing and bowing out of the Blackpool Combat Club and no longer associating himself with Claudia, And that storyline is pretty much got dropped. It's on the back burner. They could revisit that, right you put Moxley and Kingston in the finals. The only thing I don't like about that is I don't think Eddie is winning, which means Moxley is winning.

And honestly, I don't want to see Moxley win. Why do we need John Moxley to win the Continental Classic? But if you think about it, one of the reasons that they're doing this they want a champion who can defend in other promotions, who can go around the world, who could go to Japan and defend this time. Eddie has been to Japan. Eddie Kingston was in the g One this year. John Moxley is going to be at the Tokyo Dome at Russell Kingdom. He's gonna be wrestling Will Ospray and David

Finley. John Moxley is all over the place, He's doing dependent shows, He's everywhere. So a Moxley Kingston final is very possible because if you want a traveling champion, well, these two guys right here are probably the closest thing. I mean, these two guys right here are probably the ones who are gonna give, you know, the best shot at going around and defending

this and other promotions. I just don't have the appetite to see John Moxley go over and win the entire tournament because I just don't see what's gained by doing that. I think Danielson against Swerve is the is the play for the main event. I think that that's the answer. As far as the finals, I wouldn't mind either one winning, but it should be Swerve if you're gonna do Danielson and Swerve in the final, and we saw that match,

I believe on Dynamite a number of months ago. I think Danielson beat him, but I think that's the finals. I would have Swerve going over, especially if he's not gonna be in the mix for the world title in the near term. But I think Tony Kahan may a big mistake tonight. We had our first three matches in the tournament, and we'll go through what all of them were as far as how they worked out. But we had Swerve

Strickland wrestling Jay Lethal, we had Jay White wrestling Rouche. And in the main event on this show, we had John Moxley going one on one with Mark Briscoe for the very first time, and he went the predictable route. Tony Kahn went the safe route on this show. I just read you all three matches. You could tell me right now, even if you didn't see this show, who won all three matches, and you would be right. And if you watch that main event. The people really wanted to see Mark

Briscoe go over and beat John Moxley in that match. That was the wrong call to make, having Moxley beat Briscoe. I would have had Mark Briscoe go over in that main event. It's not a single elimination tournament. Moxley is safe. If Moxley doesn't win three points in the match tonight, it's not like he can't rap up points and still get to the finals. If that's where they want him to be. Of doing a round robin tournament instead of single elimination, you know, one and done, that's not what this

is. Brisco should have gone over because that would have given this tournament a little bit more of an air of unpredictability, like oh okay, they didn't go with the safe bet in the main event. They actually went with the other guy. All right, and it's night one, so it sets the tone I think for the rest of the tournament. He had an opportunity to do that in the main event on this show by giving us an upset win on night one. He didn't do that. He played it safe. I

wouldn't have done that, but all three matches were good. Main event being I think the best of the bunch, and I like Dynamite overall that it was a solid effort coming out of full gear. Not like the best episode of Dynamite of the year or anything like that, but I thought it was a good show that has already set the main event for a world zen.

This is the second time in a row, at least a second maybe third pay per view in a row where they have told, well in advance, over a month in advance, what your main event is going to be, which I like. I like that. I hope that becomes a pattern. I hope we see more of that. And that main event was set tonight. It's going to be MJF and Samoa Joe. There was a Tony Storm segment that I love, Christian Cage promo. We'll talk about it all.

This is your aw Dynamite review for Thanksgiving Eve. It is November twenty second, twenty and twenty three, and I also want to mention that today would have been my mom's sixty fourth birthday, so I just wanted to say happy birthday, Mom. All right, let's get into this because Dynamite open with the first match, match number one in the Continental Classic, with two members of the Gold League would Swerve Strickland against Jay Lethal. They had cans of

Rick Flair's Wo Energy on a desk in front of the announcers. I guess tonight was the first official night of promoting his mushroom filled energy drink. Now here are the rules. We gotta go over the rules here of the Continental Classic. Every match has a twenty minute time limit. You get three points for a win, you get one point for a draw. You get no points if you lose. And here's the part about it that I like.

Everyone is banned from ringside, so there's no outside interference, there's no unnecessary distractions. It's nice, right, kind of nice, especially when you see j Lethal out there here in this opening match. We all know how his matches usually go. Jay Lethal against Swerve, not even one week removed from the most violent match in AEW history, and Swerve was already back in the ring. Just had some tape, a little bit of tape on his right

shoulder. He may have had a black eye, I couldn't tell. I didn't get a good look at his face, but his shoulder was taped up and otherwise he was good to go. He was good to go now the crowd reaction to Swerve, perhaps not unsurprising, was very interesting because he came out, he got a big baby face reaction. And it tickles me when I see that because it kind of reminds me of WrestleMania back in two thousand

and two when Hulk Hogan came back to the company. The nWo right joined WWE, and we have Rock and Hogan and Rocken Hogan is set for WrestleMania eighteen. Of what does Hulk Hogan try to do? He tries to murder the Rock. They put the Rock in an ambulance. He gets in a mack truck and he slams into the ambulance. Attempted vehicular homicide. He tried to kill the Rock. And yet Hulgan walks into the SkyDome in Toronto and is cheered like a hero. They boo the Rock and they'd cheer Hulk Hogan.

People didn't care. Here we have a man who broke into another man's home and threatened his family, threatened his wife and young son, and yet he comes out here and it's like it's all forgotten about. It's all water under the bridge because he won, right, he's a winner, He's not a loser, so it's okay. But I just thought that was kind of funny how quickly we forget. So he comes out, he gets a big baby face reaction, and they were solidly behind him throughout the match. You

know. Lethal hit a shoulder breaker to that taped up shoulder before a commercial break. Strickland cut off Lethal in the corner with a huge superplex, followed by a rolling flatliner and a brainbuster for two. Lethal then countered a figure four leg lock into an inside cradle before a reverse soup plex, and then he hit a top rope elbow drop, got a near fall of his own out of it. Strickland counter the lethal injection and apply to stretch muffler,

but Lethal manage his way out of it. Nick Grosso dropping a Samoa bro on me here on Thanksgiving eve. See, I know a lot of people are traveling, a lot of people are already celebrating with their family. We don't have a full house here, but the house we have is loud. Man, you guys are making a lot of noise. I like it. I like the noise. I appreciate you hanging out with me here on a holiday. So he applies a stretch muffler Lethal, though got out of it

into a cross face. Lethal wanted the lethal injection again, but Strickland drop kicked the leg out, hit the house call, and then the Swerve stump for the win. The first three points of this tournament go to Swerve Strickland, and it was nice to have a rare Jay Lethal Madge without all the outside interference and all the shenanigans that we usually get with Jeff Jarrett and Karen Jarrett. Sanjay Dutt I would say Satinam singing, but he doesn't do much.

He just kind of stands there, so I can't really blame the guy. But without all the bs that we usually get, we got a straight wrestling match here, one on one. It was nice for a change. Unfortunately, Swerve did not come out with Prince Nana, so you got to take the bad with the good cuts both ways. But I thought it was a solid opener. Uh. It's too bad that Lethal has been involved with such a goofy stuff on television because it's hard to take him seriously in a

tournament like this. We know how talented he is, and he's a former Ring of Honor world champion and television champion and been around forever, very well respected, but hard to take him seriously. Is somebody that you can honestly believe has a chance of going to the finals or even frankly, of racking up that many points in this tournament. I don't want to say he's going to go totally winless, but he might go totally winless in this tournament,

which goes back to what I said before. Ony Kin initially said that it would be twelve of the top AW stars, twelve of the top names on the AW roster. The fact is Jay Lethal does not fit that criteria. He is not one of the top twelve stars in AW. So when you see names like that in there, you know why they're there. They're there to take the loss. But there are some names that were left out of this that really should have been in. That's the only thing that's disappointing about.

And otherwise, very impressive lineup of talent in this tournament. But it was a solid opener. Obviously the right guy went over. Now, Renee was backstage with Orange, Cassidy, Hook and Katsiori Shabata the Ring of Honor Pure Champion. Cassidy asked for this time to make a special announcement, but he was immediately interrupted by Wheeler Yuda, who said that it took seventeen orange punches and an exposed turnbuckle to beat John Moxley. He said it makes him

sick that Sabada still has the ROH Pure title. He told Shabata to watch his Pure Rules match on Ring of Honor this week, and then he walked off and Cassidy said that he still had an announcement to make, but Renee told him that we're at a time sorry. Then we had the aw World champion MJF coming out along with Adam Cole. We had their remixed music and so they each came out from either side of the stage. Cole was on his crutches like he wasn't full gear. MJF had a cane like Vince McMahon

did in Saudi Arabia, only he didn't have the shitty mustache. So they get in the ring and Cole takes a seat in the ring and MJF said that after he just beat j White on one leg, he learned in those thirty minutes that Jay White is one of the best professional wrestlers in the world. But he said nobody is on the level of the Devil. He's the

youngest and long reigning champion of all time. He said that he knows he can be a little humble, but he thinks that he earned the right to toot his own horn tonight, and he told us that we are looking at the greatest AEW World Champion of all time. He did his catchphrase. He said, none of this is possible without his bro Chacho for life. That

led into story time with Adam Cole. He said it was great to be back here in Chicago and to still be the Ring of Honor World Tag Team Champion along with MJF with a little help, he said, from Samoa Joe. But with the good news comes the bad news. He said, his ankle is really messed up and he's still going to be out for a very long time. He's still a long ways off from walking again, let alone getting back in the wrestling ring, but he vowed to come back at one

hundred percent and be the best Adam Cole that he has ever been. But he was really worried about it. He said, it feels like the entire world is gunning for him. With Wardlow and Samoa Joe, and now the Devil and his goons. MJF cut him off and said that he is going to find the man behind the mask, behind the devil mask, and he said the hell that he sends him to is going to feel like heaven. At that moment, the lights went out in the arena and they played a

quick clip of the Devil with him laughing. Of course his voice was dubbed. They play a clip of him laughing, and yes, I agree. There were people saying it sounded like Jack Perry. I agree, if you listen to it, it does kind of sound like Jack Perry. But I want to point something else out because I rewound it when I saw some people mentioning Jack Perry, so I rewound it to listen to the Devil. But I noticed something else, And it could be nothing. It could be nothing.

But if you go back and watch right before the lights went out, you can see that Adam Cole had his hand in his pocket or went to put his hand in his pocket. Right he's sitting down and the lights go out and the very brief clip of the Devil plays and he's laughing, and when they cut back to the ring live Cole is sitting there and his right hand is in his pocket. And then we hear Samoa Joe's music and Samoa Joe comes out to come to the ring. Now, why would his hand

have been in his pocket like that? It was only his right hand, almost as if he was putting his hand in his pocket, maybe to push a button to play a video up on the screen. We know how easy it is to push a button and get videos up on the screen. They do it every week with Cole via zoom right, Oh, let me dial Adam Cole. Oh, boom, there he is on screen. I try to connect my AirPod sometimes via Wi Fi to my laptop and I could be here for twenty five minutes trying to get it to work. They push one

button in boom, Adam Cole is on screen. So interesting though that he had his hand in his pocket at the exact moment that that video played. And if you go back and watch it you could see it again. It could mean nothing, or it could be something. I guess we'll see. So they cut back to the ring, like I said, and they play Samoa Joe's pocket Fishermen. That's also very possible. That's also very possible.

It could it could just be he was playing the old game of pocket fishermen, right, So a little bit of pocket pool and we've all we've all been there even during these hey, during these streams, you never know, right, you only see me from the shoulders up. You don't know what of them. You don't even know if I'm wearing pants right now it's Thanksgiving. I could be in my Turkey suit. You have no idea. Samoa Joe makes his way this, This just went to a very dark place.

Samoa Joe made his way down to the ring, and he said it was time for celebration. He said, two massive victories this weekend for MJF. Despite the fact that his less adequate friend looking at Cole couldn't defend him. Yet he still stands here as the aw World champion. But earlier that night, he points out that MJF went out with Joe and successfully defended those Ring of Honor tag team titles for the simple price of giving him his championship rematch.

And so he has come to Chicago to ensure that honorable men honor their deals. Spoken like a true Ring of Honor former television champion. So MJF tells him, you know, I thought long and hard about their deal, and he's come up with a very mature response to Samoa Joe below me. Now, they censored this, as she censored a few things during this promo, So I don't know if the show's gone PG or not, but you

read the guy's lips. He clearly told Joe to blow him, and this pissed off Samoa Joe, who had no interest in blowing this man, so he grabs him right, grabs MJF. And Adam Cole is begging Joe to take his hands off from Joejojoe just let him go, Let him go, right, and he addresses MJF and Cole says, you can't do this. What you just said, what you just did, that's something the old Max would do. You can't do that, he says. The new Max,

the new MJF is a man of his word. He said he's had wars with Samoa Joe, Cole has and they've been the toughest fights of his life. That's why he is who he is. But that's also why MJF is who he is, because when MJF says something is gonna happen, it happens. He says, you promised this man a championship shot. So Max, be a man of your word, and fans chanted he's our scumbag. MJF said that, you know what, you wouldn't be the first Ring of Honor

legend that I've beaten in Chicago twice. And it says, how about MJF against Samoa Joe right here, right now in Chicago, And of course all the fans in Chicago wanted to see that, right, three cheers for that. Samoa Joe says, absolutely not. He said MJF is gonna get on the internet tomorrow and he's gonna bitch and he's gonna moan about how he wasn't one hundred percent and he was still hurt and it's not fair. He says, no, no, no, no, Max. I want the best

version of you. I want the fully healed Max. So I say, by World's End, you should be nice and shipper to get back in the

ring and defend that time. So MJF wanted to clarify this. He wanted to clarify that Samoa Joe wanted to wrestle him on December thirtieth at World's End at the Nassau Coliseum on Long Island the most magical place on Earth, and the fans boot, the fans in Chicago did not want to see this magic the Nasaw Coliseum on Long Island, and MJF told him go ahead and boo, he doesn't give a shit, which again they censored, and then he tried to get back at their good graces, say, guys, I didn't

say I didn't like deep dish. Calm down, and he told Joe, you know what, You've got yourself a deal. So they shook on it, but MJF held his hand and he pulled him in and he told him wrestling MJF and Long Island is like copin head from an alligator. But looking at Joe these days, he imagines he doesn't have many options. And Joe told him, all this worrying that you've been doing about the devil, you don't have to worry anymore, he says, because as of today, you

are my property. And he says, nobody touches his property without his permission. So he's got mjf's back and he's going to deliver the very he best MJF at the Nassau Coliseum and then he's going to beat him unconscious in front of his friends and family and anybody that he knows and loves. So Samoa Joe is great Samoa Joe. Even when Joe was getting hurt all the time in WWE, because you know, the injury bug bit him a few times, the one thing that never wavered was when you put a live mic in

his hand, he was the best in the entire company. Nobody could touch it. He was fantastic. Thankfully, here in aw so far he's been able to stay healthy. He's more physically active for them than he was for WWE. Now he's in the pay per view main event at the end of the year, so world's end, we already have our main events set. It's gonna be MJF defending against Samoa Joe in a remat from Grand Slam.

And again, this makes at least two, maybe three pay per views in a row where we have had our main events solidified weeks and weeks in advance, and it has given them an opportunity to really take their time in building to it instead of announce it like you know, two weeks before. It's a trend that I hope continues, at least as far as their main events. You don't have to have the entire card, you know, solid three

weeks out, but your key matches, your key main event. You know, you should be able to announce that for in advance if you have a picture of where you're going. So we've already got our main event, and we're still over a month away. We're five weeks out, you know, from World's End. So I like that that was the obvious match. I still think that there's a good chance we got the devil reveal at World's End.

I think I feel like even just the name of the show, the fact that it's in mjf's hometown, it just feels like it's the end of the year. We're counting down right, the final show of the year. It just feels like we're building to this show for the reveal of who the Devil is. Question is, is MJF gonna benefit from this or not?

Does the Devil show himself and end up ruining the match and ruining Joe's chances of or does that happen after the match is over, MJF just beat him again, you know, they just want to use Joe for a second match and put MJF over and then the big reveal comes that. I don't know, but I would not discount the possibility that Samoa Joe could walk into twenty twenty four as the AW World Champion. You know, there's a reason why they took that Ring of Honor television title off of him, and it may

not just be to get him the match with MJF. It's because they want that belt off of him because they have another belt in mind for him, and then MJF could always take the belt back from him a month later, two months later. I mean, it kind of did the same thing with the TNT title and then they had Joe drop it to Darby. I think that was at the beginning of the year. Joe is something of a I can't even call him a transitional champion. If the belt were to just go

back to MJF. That's not how you define a transitional champion, but kind of like a brief run. To give MJF a mountain decline, give him something to have to fight for to get his belt back wouldn't be the worst thing in the world. But again, he's got a lot of irons in the fire Wardlow being another one. I don't know if they want that belt off of him until it's time for him to drop it to whoever that heir

apparent is going to be. I don't see the harm though, if you want to give Joe a quick run and then have MJF get the belt back, I don't see the harm in that. Joe is fantastic. Joe is a would be a great champion. So here we are going into a main event where I don't mind either outcome, whether MJF retains or he loses. I think in either scenario, they're still in good hands, you know.

Going into the new year, now we had Orange Cassidy, we had Hook and we had Katsuyori Shabata in a trios match against Jake Hager, Matt Minard and Angelo Parker. Cassidy went to the floor and he grabbed the microphone to

tell us that he had a Thanksgiving surprise for us. I guess this is what he was going to win earlier before Renee told him that they were desperately out of time, and he informs us the big surprise turns out to be the return of Dan Hausen, who was hyped up even before Halloween and that we never saw. So something happened, and so Tony Khan decided to hold him out a little bit longer. Now it's Thanksgiving and we got the return of Dan Housen. Even though they were still playing on the on the tron

the Halloween video, which was a takeoff on Halloween three. If you know you know, so they were playing that video, then they played his music. Then he came out. He got a big pop. I don't want to say he got a bigger pop than MJF, but he got the biggest, one of the biggest reactions on the show up to this point. Everybody

was very happy to see Dan Housen. He came down to the ring to be in the baby Face corner and for those who don't know, he tore his peck back at Revolution, he took a three ten t EuMA from the guns. He tore his peck and that's why he's been out ever since March. So this was his big return. Hook was isolated during a picture and picture break before finally hitting an overhead throw on Angelo Parker and he made the tag to Orange Cassidy, who ran wild until Hagar caught him with a takedown.

Cassidy fought back with the stun Dog Millionaire and tagged in Shabbata, who went toe to toe with Hagar's so we got a little back and forth between those two. Shabbata fired off a pump kick, Hager mowed him down with a knee lift, and then he missed a corner splash. Shabata hit Hagar lit him up, actually with a series of chops, and then he hit the stalling drop kick to the face in the corner, which always looks great.

Parker and Minard made the save, and the Heels wanted a triple power bomb, but Den Housen got up on the apron and he pulled out the old purple bucket hat, which we haven't seen in months, used to be Hagar's favorite hat. He put it on his head and he cursed Jake Hager.

Hager came outside to confront him. He cursed him. He put a curse son, Jay care I too have cursed and shake Haeger many times in the past as well, but this was the Dan Housen curse that he put on Jay Haeger hook and Shabbata meanwhile slapped on dueling submissions, red rum and a rear naked choke, and the Heels tapped out. So Shabbata hook and

Cassidy pick up the wind. Good to see Dan Hausen back just some One of my guilty pleasures on the show is Dan House Renee was talking to Adam Cole backstage when Roderick Strong rolled up with Matt Taven and Mike Bennett behind him, and he wanted to know where Cole was on Friday when Action Andretti dropped him on his head. Where were you? I mean, it was nice to see that you were a full gear on Saturday, but where were you

on Friday when I almost died? And Cole yelled at him and asked him, you know, when are you going to get it through your thick skull that I'm not your best friend anymore? And he told him to back off and leave me the hell alone before he hobbled away. So we have Roderick Strong in his wheelchair, we have Adam Cole in his walking boot and his crutches. We have MJF coming out with a pimp cane. We had the

walking wounded in this company. Swere of Strickland, of course, took the worst beating of all on Saturday, and he came out with a little bit of tape on his shoulder. So he's holding up okay, And Roddy was left sitting there in his wheelchair looking very disappointed and very upset by Adam Call snapping at him and saying the things that he said. If you did not

see I guess it would have been a collision. On Friday, But if you didn't see it, there was a match between Roddy and Action Andretti, and there was a spot where Roddy got dropped on his head and it was very scary. Thankfully, he's next strong, so he was okay that that almost went from storyline to reality in the blink of an eye. That almost became a shoot the whole broken neck thing. He's very lucky that he came out of that unscathed. After a break, Christian Cage was out next for

one of my favorite segments on the show. To I always I mean, Christian Cage is, of course one of the best parts of the show. He's doing the best work of his career right now. What's not to like? Christian Cage comes to the ring with Lucasaurus and Nick Wayne, and they had promoted coming into the show that Christian would be re christening them. He was going to re christen Lucasaurus and Nick Wayne. So Christian comes out and he points out that he didn't lose at full gear, and he points out

that Nick Wayne did not lose it full gear. So then he walks over to Lucasaurus and he says, Lucasaurus is the one who lost their match at full gear, and he said that that was unacceptable. He said he went home and he thought about how to get rid of the stench of losing, and then it hit him. It hit him like a ton of bricks. He said that since Wayne and Lucasaurus are his children, he was time to recreate them in his image. So Cage told Lucasaurus to take a knee,

and Lucasaurus stayed on his feet. Cage told him again take a knee, and Lucasaurus did not budge. Cage called him a moron and ordered him to take a knee, and then finally he did. Cage said the name Lucasaurus will forever be associated with being a loser. And he said that he came up with a name of strength and toughness because he considers Lucasaurus to be his finisher, and so he will forever from this point forward, be known as

kill Switch. That's where Christian calls his finishing, so he is now kill switch, which is actually a much better name than Lucrosaurus. So then Christian called out Nick Wayne's name, and without hesitation, without even being asked to do so, Nick Wayne immediately takes a knee and Christian tells him to get up, and he told him you never get on your knees for another person, which is a good life lesson for all of you in the chat.

Don't ever get on your knees for someone. He called Nick Wayne the son that he never had. He called him his golden boy. He said, you are me and he told him I love you Nick. You are a golden boy, and you will forever be known as the prodigy, the prodigy Nick Wayne, and the two of them hugged. Most brought a tear to my eye. What a wonderfully touching moment between father and son. Hearing this scene, all of a sudden, here comes Nick's mom who has a name.

I don't think they've ever identified her by name before this, Shana. So Shana is running to the ring. Christian called her a terrible mother. He said, sure, maybe you love Nick unconditionally gave him your unconditional love. But that's not good enough, he said, you couldn't provide for him. You make forty thousand dollars a year being a waitress. You think he wanted his mom to be a waitress. He says, look at me. I'm a legend, I'm a champion. I could give him the world.

Then he said, in the most Christian way possible, he said, it's a good thing that her husband is dead already, because Nick would have disowned him anyway. When he realized that Buddy Wayne wasn't as good of a wrestler or a father as he is, he says, it's a shame it came to this, because had she played her cards right, things may have been a little bit different. Then he said, go punch your card because I think you because I think your shift is a to start at denny he's so

fantastically douchey, like he's so fucking good in this role. Go punch your card because your shift is about to start at Denny's. So then kill Switch got in Christian's face, and Christian told him to get on his knees, and he yelled at him again when he didn't do it. Get on your knees. Get on your knees now, and then he slapped kill switch. The crowd chanted Lucasaurus. Christian told him to get on his knees or he would make him take that mask off and he would show the entire world why

he wears it in the first place. So Lucasaurus again, he did not get down on his knees, and so Christian slapped him across the face. Eh, and hold on a second, he slaps it. He slaps him across the Uh. No, he didn't slap he uh, I think he slapped him. Then he shoved him in but he shoved the dinosaur and he goes backwards and he hits Nick's mom. So he slams into Shana and Shana goes down. Nick's mom takes a bump down, she goes so then Nick did not even make a move to check on his mom to see how she

was. Christian told him to go outside, and so he did, and Nick Wayne goes under the ring and he grabs a chair and he puts the chair in the ring. He grabs a second chair and brings that into the ring as well, and Christian then hands the other chair to Lucasaurus puts the first chair under his mom's head, hands the second chair to Lucasaurus and wants him to bash this woman's brains and give her a kin chare them and Lucasaurus.

He just can't bring himself to do it. He hesitates it first, and then finally he picks the chair up above his head and here comes Adam Copeland. His music hits. Of course, can't come out of as his music hits, so he hits the ring. He ducks the dinosaur. He spears. Nick Wayne came face to face with Christian Lucasaurus, though pulls Christian out to safety. Copeland gave Nick Wayne another spear, and then he gave him an impaler DDT and then he set Wayne up for a one man concerto

and he smashed his skull as his mother watched. She was sitting in the corner watching this. I thought she was gonna throw her body on him, and then Copeland maybe would just hit her. Anyways, what Austin did. Toledo and Lida covered up Matt Hardy and they did that whole segment back in the day, which wwe would like to lock up in a vault. Never to be seen again. I'm sure, but did it right in front of the of the Uh the kid's mom just smashed his head. That has me

wondering. After this segment was over, I'm watching this and I'm thinking it has me wondering if we're gonna again Nick Wayne's mom going heel soon, if maybe she'll take Christian up on his offer of you know, if he plays

your cards right, things might have been a little bit different. Maybe she'll get a little bit tired of punching the clock at Denny's and she'll want to be with a real man, and maybe she'll end up with Christian, and then Nick Wayne can have his mom with him as his chaperone in this group wherever they go. But I wonder if that's where this may possibly end up going. This is a strong segment. It further cemented Christian as the fantastic

douchebag that he is, and oh is he a fantastic douchebag. There's none better in the entire business right now than this guy right here. The way that he abuses Lucasaurus, the way that he manipulates Nick Wayne. Not a single redeeming quality about this man, not one. He doesn't come out there and try to get a pop. He doesn't come out there and try to be cool. His goal, his sole intent is to go out there and get heat and get people to boo and hate his guts, no matter what

he does, no matter what he says. Now it is to the point I think where he's so good at what he does that there are people who would cheer for him and do get a kick out of what he does just because it's entertaining. But again, no redeeming quality to his character whatsoever. The things he goes out there and says about this guy's you know, dead father and her dead husband. And look, when the time comes that it's going to be him and Copeland one on one, and we get those you

know, dueling promos from the two of them. I mean, Copeland, forget about I don't even think Edge even knew who his father was, so I'm sure Christian could have a field day with that one. But remember Copeland warned him weeks ago. He warned him that in the end he's gonna end up alone. Lucasaurus and Nick Wayne are gonna drop him, and so that that's eventually where this is going to lead to. And then we'll get the

inevitable Legend Christian reunion. But that's for much later on. The first order of business is to get the first singles match in Copeland and Christian in an aw ring that they have a couple of shows coming up in Montreal, their first shows ever in Montreal are coming up in two weeks beginning of December, and I thought, you know, weeks ago, I thought maybe they're gonna do that first match on one of the Montreal shows. You take two Canadians

and put them in the ring together. But now that we're two weeks away, that's way too quick of a turnaround. I see it more as a World's End match. You could do the first match of World's End between them. It's a big deal, you know, to get edging Christian in the ring together for the first time in a match against each other. I would save that for World's End. Yeah, you got MJF and Samoa Joe.

You put Copeland and Christian on there. That's two big matches right there on the show, plus the finals of the Continental Classic, and all of a sudden, World's End is shaping up to be a pretty big night. Speaking of the Continental Classic, we had our second gold match of the Night Gold League. It was rusche On one against Switchblade j White. White came to the ring with the guns and they all acted shocked when the referee said,

you gotta go because nobody's allowed at ringside, no managers. Why we didn't get Prince Nana would swerve earlier in the night. You gotta go, and they acted they were shocked by this. Apparently nobody clewed them in as to the rules of this tournament. Now, there was no Juice Robinson with them, and Juice was not at full gear on Saturday either. They shot an angle on TV last week where MJF attacked him. He supposedly hit him with

a giant television monitor screen, whatever it was. That was a cover for a real injury. Juice Robinson has a back injury that he needs back surgery for, and that sounds serious when you hear back surgery. Apparently it's not so serious that it's going to keep him out for an extended period of time. I don't know what the nature of the surgery is on his back. It's good that it doesn't sound that serious, but you know, it's still back surgery. So he's going to be gone for a while that we have

not seen Rusche on Dynamite in a very long time now. If you're wondering how long has it been since we've seen Rush on this show, you would have to go back to Dynamite all the way in May. Remember that match he had with Jungle Boy which got a lot of people talking about how unprofessional Rouche is and he went into business for himself because he was kicking the shit at a Jungle Boy and Jungle Boy was the one going into the four Pillars

match at double or nothing, challenging for the world title. But that was it was by design. They wanted Jungle Boy to go in there and take a beating and then in the end he would pull out the wind, which is what happened. But that's how far back you'd have to go. We've seen Rouch on Collision recently, but it's nice to finally get him back on Dynamite, which is still their primary number one show, so it was nice

to see him back on the show. Rush hit an early shoulder block and a drop kick with Jay White on the ropes, which forced him to regroup outside. Sid says back surgery from carrying Bullet Club Gold is that J White slander? I hear I like J White and Juice Robinson. So White goes outside to regroup. Rushe wanted it choke him with the TV chords. Paul Turner went over and put a stop to that and said, look, I'll disqualify you if you do that. So Rush ended up winning a chop battle.

We got a lot of that here in this match. You won a chop battle inside the ring. Then he hit a pump fake kick before shooting the l I J pos heading into commercial. J White took control during the break, but it was very short lived. Rush had a flying forearm and three amigos for the near fall. Rush took too long to follow up, and he missed the top rope Senton, which led to a brainbuster by J. White for a two count. Rush had a pump knee and ran into

a yurinagi for two. He chopped his way out of a blade runner attempt, and then he hit a snap German soup plex, only for J. White to catch a kick into a dragon screw Rush Rush. I was gonna say he rushed. He rushed in. He was trying to rush in with bulls horns, but White avoided it, and then he looked for a blade Runner again nearly collided with the referee and this allowed Jay White to hit a low blow and then finally he nailed blade Runner and he picked up the wind

three points for the switchblade. This was a chop fest for a good part of it, and they beat the holy hell out of each other. These two damn good match here, I thought. Between them again, I'm a little torn between this and the main event. As far as which was the best tournament match of the night, I probably would give it to the main event. But this one was a damn good match, and it was a nice rebound win for Jay White. He needed this win coming out of the

loss. Everybody made such a big deal out of the you know, the loss to the one legged man at full gear, and I didn't think it killed him as much as some people did. But he needed this win. He needed this win. It was the right move. He got the win. I'll tell you what else I like about this, And if you're a new japan fan, you'll know what I'm talking about. The consistency of Jy here in this round robin having to cheat to win in the same way that he used to cheat to win in the g one. So I like that

consistency there. Some things never change, always looking for a way to get that just that upper hand, and he'll do whatever it takes to win. No different. Here fits his m O perfectly and so Jy gets his three points in the tournament. Now we got footage of Ricky Starks and Big Bill. They retain their aw World Tag team titles in a four way ladder match on Saturday at Full Gear. We we got footage of them after the show. They were on the dais with Tony Kahn at the media scrum and Chris

Jerrich walked in and had some words for them. It's gonna be Jericho and Omega challenging them for the tag team titles. Very soon. Could be a world's end. Then in the hallway they attacked Jericho. Kenny wasn't there. For those who don't know, Kenny, Omega's cat is sick and so he didn't. As soon as the match was over and the show was over, he left the building to go home to be with his sick cat, So he wasn't there. Big Bill and Ricky Starks they jumped Jericho Jericho in the

match on Saturday. He suffered a gash on his arm on a spot with the steel steps. I think got ten stitches in his arm. So they attacked the injured arm and they held the arm up against the wall and I think it was Big Bill who shoved a production case equipment case into the arm and they left Jericho laying. So again, we're going to be getting that tag team title match very soon. Jericho and Omega got the Young Bucks shot by beating them, and so they'll wrestle Ricky in Big Bill very soon.

Rene was one with RJ City. They had a microphone stand. This is like an Awards ceremony here, and they had they pulled out an envelope. RJ pulled out an envelope to announce the winner of the aw Women's World Title, and they said, and the aw Women's Championship goes too, And then they said her name at the exact same time in stereo, timeless Tony Storm, just like it was the Oscars, And they played her music and they cut to a shot. She was sitting in the front row in the crowd

and Luther was with her, and she got up to me. She couldn't believe it. She comes out of the crowd and she's coming up the ramp and she almost tripped and she yelled at Luther and Mariah May brought out the aw Women's Title. Two brought out the aw Women's Title to present to Tony's Storm. Tony said that it was embarrassing because she didn't have anything prepared.

She was caught off guard here. And then she put on her reading glasses and she pulled out a sheet of paper and she thanked mister Anthony Kahan and the people at Warner Discovery, especially Jack Warner who's been dead for forty five years. So they started to play her off. They started playing her music because I'm not done yet. She thanked the little Tony Storms out there who want to be me. She said, this is her spot. You will

not take it, you will not make it. And if you'll notice, behind her, Mariah May had a very well, shall we say, a disenfranchised look on her face. This seemed to bother Mariah May. You can see where that story is going. The Storm told all the kids to stay in school. Mariah May went back to viling and applauded. Once her speech was over, then sky Blues music interrupts and outcomes sky Blue to march on down to the ring for the next match, and Tony Storm was highly insulted

by this. So between the interruption there at the end by sky Blue and then sky Blue winning her next match, which came right after this, it's pretty clear what the match is going to be. Probably for world's end, Tony Storm's first challenger looks to be sky Blue for the aw Women's World title. We'll see where the Mariah May story goes as far as how long it takes for them to get there. This is a story that should be playing

out over much of the next year. There really is no reason for them to rush into anything with Mariah May and Tony Storm in the next few months. Like they literally just introduced this woman on television in a backstage segment two weeks ago. So soon she'll start wrestling, and she could really kind of, you know, buddy up to Tony Storm even more. She could wrestle matches on her behalf, right, which was the idea that I had.

But that will help prolong things for a while, and then you can eventually do the match, but there's no need to rush into it. And then you still have Jamie Hater waiting in the wings. Whenever she comes back, right, she's gonna probably want her belt back. So there's a few different things that Tony Storm can be doing in the first half of twenty twenty four as we get a very entertaining segment out of it tonight. I enjoyed this.

I see. I love the gimmick. If you don't like this gimmick, if you think it's too campy and too goofy, you're not gonna like this. This is not gonna be for everybody. But I love it because it's just different than what you would not have seen something like this in the early days of aw And there are a lot of things that we would have seen in the early days of Dynamite that I wish they would maybe get back

to. But there's also things that I don't think Tony Kahan would have done because it wasn't in his comfort zone, or it would have been perceived as it's too WWE, it's too sports entertainment, right, But it's okay to have some stuff like that on the show. And Tony Storm is just she's knocking it out of the park. Like she has embraced this role. She's thrown herself into this and I just think it's just fantastic. It's great,

and I'm so happy that she broke away from the outcasts. You see Soreya and Ruby Soho in this very next seedgment in fact right they were out there and it's like they're still doing the outcast thing and it's so played out. I'm like, thank god Tony Storm branched away from this. Otherwise she would be dragged down by it. Instead, she's broken away and she's doing her thing, and I think it's great. So we had Ana j Ruby Soho, and sky Blue in a triple threat man. Soreya was out there in

Ruby's corner. Angela Parker and Matt Minard were out there as well with Anna Jay because they've been running an angle though on rampage, mostly on rampage where there's a little thing going on between Angelo Parker and Ruby, so little something something going on there, have a little feeling for each other. So sky Blue set up for an early move on the apron. Parker grabbed her foot, which allowed Ana Jade to knock her off the apron. Ex Caliber noted

that there are no disqualifications in three way matches. Ruby ended up at ringside. She traded smiles with Angelo Parker and Sorea and Menard. Both of them were not very happy. It's like two parents that don't want their kids dating. Right. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. All right, Let's put our brains together and figure out how we can squash this. And they pulled them apart. Back inside, Blue hit a cross body block from the ropes onto both opponents. Blue went for Code Blue on Anna, but

Anna hooked her arms and slammed her face first of the mat. Anna had the pin, Parker broke it up. Minard grabbed Soho's foot from the floor to stop her from running the ropes. Soraya then yelled at Matt Minard and Ruby got knocked off the apron into the waiting arms of Angelo Parker, and

the two of them smiled at each other. You were very happy. Siraya pulled Ruby away and scolded her in the ring, though Sky Blue avoided and his queens Slayer and Super kicked her and then followed up with a cutter and got the pin because Ruby was late in trying to break it up, and Sorea and Ruby continued to argue as they went to the back. Anna Jay looked annoyed by Angelo Parker. This was more about Ruby and Angelo than anything

else that was really happening during this match. It does give sky Blue a win, right, she was not victorious on Saturday at Full Gear in the TBS title match. Julia Hart is the new TVs champion, but it gives her a win in her hometown. They were in Chicago, that's her hometown. And again it looks like she'll probably end up being Tony Storms first. Upon Tony Storm meets somebody to beat, why not Eyeblue. So that's where

that looks to be going. But the thing with the Angelo Parker Ruby Soho stuff is it's the first time their angle has gotten any kind of play on

Wednesday, which is the main show. This is a rampage angle. So I'm sure you have a number of people who are watching this and they're not really they haven't been following it, they haven't been keeping up with what's going on with Angelou Parker and Ruby Soho, and so they may not know what's going on, but it's a rampage angle that for one night anyway, migrated over to Dynamite. Renee approached Wardlow backstage. Who happened to just be standing

there. He was doing curls with a piece of equipment. I do that all the time randomly during the day. You know, I've been doing my notes here and trying to figure out what are we going to cover on the sound off this week, and I'll just randomly pick up a piece of furniture and start curling it. I mean, come on, you know what we do here, right, monster has to get his pump on somehow, so he's curling this piece of equipment and she asks, what are you waiting for

when it comes to getting revenge on MJF? And Wardlow said the world doesn't revolve around MJF. From the Downfall of the Devil will be on his time aar Fox showed up and said Wardlow was putting the blame on everybody else, and Wardlow said he doesn't need advice from anybody, and he dropped Fox with a head button, because who the fuck is ar Fox to walk up to Wardlow and start giving him advice. The guy's a loser, who was the last match he won? The hell is Wardlow going to take advice from this

guy? For if he was on a ten match winning streak. Okay,

I could see that Wardlow could certainly use something. He's not going to be taking advice from R. Fox. The main event was the third and final Gold League match of the Continental Classic Here Tonight, first time ever one on one John Moxley and Mark Briscoe. They traded strikes early, with Briscoe firing off some redneck kung fu led to a drop kick through the ropes to Moxley on the floor, and that followed by a brisco blockbuster off the apron.

So Moxley avoided a froggy bow after this, and then he booted Briscoe off the apron into the floor, which took us into the final picture and picture. During the break, Moxley busted brisco open and said, damn, it should have been me. Briscoe battled back with an inziguri and a thrush shot. Moxley exploded out of the corner, ran into an overhead brisco throw. Moxley countered a neck breaker into a choke. He transitioned into an arm breaker,

but Briscoe got the ropes. Moxley cut off brisco in the ropes. Briscoe Bitmoxley and then dove right into a kick to the gut and a paradigm shift, which brisco No sold into a drop kick. Both men were down. Briscoe connected on a rolling death valley driver and then he hit the froggy bow only got a two count out of it. Brisco death Boxley with a

lariat. He wanted a Jay driller, but Moxley hit a King Kong lariat and followed that with a death rider, and Mark Briscoe kicked out, and at that point the crowd came alive because they wanted to see Mark Briscoe do the impossible and pick up a win over the nearly unbeatable John Moxley. Now, John Moxley lost to Orange Cassidy on Saturday, but if you look at his career at aw his win lost record over the last two years, it's

pretty fucking good. So they wanted to see Mark Briscoe pick up the upset win, which is what this would have been. This would have been an upset win. So they're rallying behind Mark brisco Moxley hits a half in half. Brisco rolls to his feet. It's into a forearm battle. Moxley cut the moment him off though with a curb stump and another death rider and he got the pin and he picks up the three points. Moxley then after the

match was over, showed respect. Both men shook hands and Moxley celebrated and that took us off the air. So the Continental Classics standings now coming out of this show look like this. Three points go to Swerve, Strickland, Switchblade, Jay White, and John Moxley, Jay lethal Rousch and Mark Briscoe get no points, and that is where we are. I stand by what I said at the beginning. I think Mark Briscoe should have won. I think this was a mistake by Tony Kahan. I think you want to set

the tone early in a tournament like this. You want people to think, Okay, maybe there will be some upsets in this tournament. Not many people would have picked Mark Briscoe to beat John Moxley in the main event of this show. Doesn't hurt John Moxley in the least. If anything, it puts him behind. Now he's got to work that much harder to rack up points if he wants to try to get to the finals. So I think that was a mistake. I think the other outcomes were predictable and they were fine.

I think Swerve winning was fine. I think Jay White winning was the right choice, but I think Moxley should have taken the loss in this match. If John Moxley can lose to fucking Toriano years ago in New Japan, he can lose to Mark Brisco here in the main event of this tournament on Dynamite. That was a mistake. Now, because of the holiday weekend, Rampage is being bumped. Rampage is being bumped to Saturday at seven o'clock, which means is a three hour block of AW one Saturday, most of which

is going to be head to head with Survivor Series. This will not end well for AAW It does not usually end well when they're up against the WWE pay per view. This will be no different, but not much they can do. That's just the nature of the schedule. The Wave falls now Rampage and Collision. This Saturday, we have Daniel Garcia against Claudio Castignoli in the Continental Classic Blue League match Eddie Kingston one on one with Brody king That's the

other Continental Classic Blue League match. Take a look at the Twitter poll Dynamite so far clocking in with a seventy two percent score thumbs up and twenty seven point seven percent thumbs down. Of course, you can vote as always on Twitter at solo monster. All right, let's take a look at your super chats here. Get them on in because I'm going to zip on through this right now. I want to thank you guys for hanging out with me, well eight hundred plus here with me on Thanksgiving Eve. I love it.

Thank you for spending part of your holiday with me. Let's kick things off here with Steve Joseph, who dropped a five spot and said Solomonster Paul and Oates. No, did you hear the story about the restraint? Yes? I did. I think it's only one one restraining order. I believe it's from Hall. I think Daryl Hall is the one who filed the restraining order

against the John Oates. Yes, I'm devastating. I'm gonna be sitting a visual lighting candles, a little prayer circle, hoping they get back together and they resolve their issues. You know, they're getting older. Daryl Hall doesn't look it, but he's like eighty years old. I mean he's getting up there. Like I hate hearing stuff like this. I hate hearing this. Brother Buff Salisbury, Happy Thanksgiving, my friend. Do you think that we will get the team of Van Damn Housen at least once in AW. Yeah,

maybe why not. They'll pay RVD. I'm sure he'll come in and do whatever they want him to do. Lady fire Panda with the twenty bucks say, Fire Panda, thank you again for those gifted memberships. Between Fire Panda and Silver Tower alone, we are getting back closer to where we were previously, so keep it up. Who would you trust more to tell the truth if your life depended on it. Vince McMahon or Hulk Hogan. Vince McMahon. Daddy Ball says Happy Thanksgiving. Happy Thanksgiving to you as well.

Laker's Pat says, do the Prince Nana dance? I did all my dancing in that opening intro. We'll danced out. Maybe I'll do the Prince Nana dance at House of Glory next week when he comes in. Would swork? Maybe I'll do it there. John Doe thirty four. I'm tired of seeing Ring of Honor titles and mentions on AW programming. And number two, I

want to see Solomaster against Tyrus at all in Wembley. You couldn't pay me enough, although all I would have to do really is just outrun him and eventually he'll just get so winded that he'll collapse and that I can just cover him in pinom Paul Carpenter Hall versus Oates. I can't go for that, uh, Nick Grosso. I really liked the Christian cage segment after what Adam Copeland did. Do you see Mama Wayne turning heel? I believe I do? I believe I do. Why do we keep seeing her? Why would

she come out here? Right? Unless this was leading to something, I wouldn't be surprised if they do the initial Adam Copeland Christian cage match, and actually Nick Wayne's mom factors into it in some way because she had to sit in the corner and watch her son get brutalized by this man. That right there could be the impetus behind her costing Copeland a win against Christian. I think that's where this is going. Oh boy, look look who just showed

up? Look who just showed up? And gifty fifty more channel memberships. If I had the bat signal right now, I would be shining it. It is silver Tower. Look at all of these new members mission impossible reviews. You could also buy a membership. I'm just saying, but yeah, these are rent I am Batman is now a member. I just mentioned the bat signal, and look at this, we have a new member. I

Am Batman. Could not have timed that any better. We got a lot of new GWO members throw up the sign well the im on in Rojo Bet says Swerve is my pick to win the Continental Classic and is the more logical choice. I would agree. Again, I would prefer that he focus his sights on the world title. I don't see that happening if he's going to be running around with the Triple Crown defending it in different places. But if he's not in the world title mix, you know again in their world title

plans in the near future, then it should be him. You've got to keep the momentum going. You have to capitalize on these two big wins somehow, and this would be the likeliest way for them to do that. Plus it gets him in a big match at world's end. If it's Danielson in Swerve, which is what I would have as the final, that's a hell of a match. And he's got two straight wins over Hangman Paige. Now imagine him going in there and getting a win over Brian Danielson, who's turning

around. I think less than a week later, he's going to the Tokyo Dome Slokata and you have swerved beat dangleson at world's end. That'd be huge, fright, huge, huge, Silver Tower says on my commute home, yeat Well, apparently Silver Tower just got home. I guess maybe he just walked in the door and gifted fifty more, Hey, Silver Tower thing domination Warrior? Would you whoop that trick or swerve when you drive? I definitely don't swerve when I drive, but I've been on the road with other people

who do. I know Jeff Hardy certainly has I would whoop that trick. That's what I would be doing. You're not gonna catch me swerving. Face Beer says, Woo. Energy is in that mug? Uh you got me? H? You just you just figured out what's in this mug? We got We got mushrooms galore in here. Of course they're they're functional. They're functional. They're not psychedelic or are they pick Grosso with the nineteen ninety nine. After tonight, I am more convinced than ever that Adam Cole is the

devil. Right before the lights went out, Cole reached into his pot. There you go, there you go into his pocket to trigger the tron. See, I disagree with you on that last point, though I do think the injury is serious. I do think he's gonna be out for a while. He could be the devil. They're going to do everything in their power to prolong it. But see, I told you that he had his hand in his pocket, and unless he was playing pocket pool, I think there

was a reason for them. He would explain why that video came up at that exact moment. Brandon Walker, thank you very much. It's a very kind comment of you. Appreciate that. I posted a video on my Twitter and on Facebook. Video I put together a few years ago after my mother passed away, because I've digitized all of you know, we have family VHS tapes and old birthday parties and stuff. And I bought an El Gatto video capture card years ago and I've used it to convert a lot of things.

But I've converted all the family stuff. I put together a video and I post it every year and always brings a smile to my face. That's up there. If you didn't see it. If you want to take a look at that. Peter Cordieri says Happy Thanksgiving. Happy Thanksgiving to you too, Jessica Hermann with the five dollars super jet, Happy Turkey Day. This show is a thumbs up simply for the return of the very nice, very evil Danhusen. Love that Dan Housen. Yeah, Dan Housen is one of those

either love love the guy or you hate his guys. I don't think there's any in between. You fall into one camp over the other before you fall into Naya's hole, and then there's no getting out. It's like a black hole. Once you fall in, that's it. You're done. Plus Ultra Adrian with a ten dollars super Chat. Sorry, I haven't been here in a while. I wanted to wish you and your family a happy Thanksgiving. Hope you were able to have all the noodle pudding that you can eat.

Well. A happy Thanksgiving to you and yours. And I will be having my google as it's called my noodle pudding. Yes, indeed, I am very much looking forward to having that tomorrow. I'm gonna gorge I'm gonna skip lunch, by the way, I'm gonna fast between breakfast and dinner, because I just know I'm gonna stuff myself. I'm not gonna be able to close my belt. Awful, it's so disgusting, But I'm going to enjoy myself. I hope you do too. Deontae Swanier, where are we by the

way on the lights? Be the book? Oh or three fifty? Yeah? Not looking good. I thought we were gonna get, you know, a nice little Thanksgiving Eve edition to be the booker. But it's not looking good. Deontae swanie Happy Thanksgiving solo all love my friend. Thank you for always being funny and knowledgeable. Skyblue won a match, so my celebration starts early. You go, you go. Now you can celebrate and have a drink with your cake. Sean Dee with the five bucks says, but what

if you need to suck something? Can we get on our knees? Then what are we supposed to do? Then lie on our backs? I think not. Hey, whatever you do in your home is your business. Some people are more flexible than others. Some people can do it upside down. I wouldn't know, but hey, you do you. I'm just saying, don't ever let anybody tell you to get on your knees unless you want it. Arabian Nights swerve against j White first time ever will be awesome. Roberto

Benet twenty twenty three. I'm not even a Christian fan and this is the best work he has ever done. Absolutely absolute. Jacob Donnelly bre Moode has been activated. Happy Thanksgiving, Well it wouldn't be Thanksgiving, I guess with that, Bremode. Thank you, Jacob, have that very happy Turkey Day. Dylan Hensley with the ten dollars super Chat. Big news from AAPW. We struck a deal with Roku, so our shows will soon reach a bigger

audience and cement us as a major league promotion in Texas. Looks like I joined AAPW at the right time. We'll congratulations you let me know when it's there and if you are ever on there? How cool would it be? You know, Dylan's been checking in with es for months at wrestling school, letting us know like what he's been learning, and you know, drills and all kinds of stuff that he's been doing. And how cool would it be if if you know, one day we'll we'll be able to put Roku on

and there there he is coming off the top rope. That's awesome. Arabian night. Hope Joe wins. He has not been a world champion since two thousand and eight. Yeah, that's criminal, that's criminal, absolutely criminal, wild Bird. I want to drop by and say Happy Thanksgiving to you, Sola Monster. Enjoyed the delicious turkey, the stuffing and the peak dan Pot. Wild Bird, you have been pardoned. I would think that Thanksgiving is probably your least favorite holiday. You know, kind of scary, right,

w pardon so you're safe. Rizzo, I'm sorry about Hall and Oates. Happy Thanksgiving to you and the rest of the chat, and also go Lions. Bace Beers says, buy or sell mis beating seen at WrestleMania or Warrior beating Hogan at WrestleMania Warrior beating Hogan? Are you comparing the Are you comparing the two magics? Are you drunk? Also buy or sell Dingo Warrior or Miss two thousand and six. I didn't watch Dingo Warriors, so I didn't

have world Class. I wasn't watching him before he came to WWE, So I'll go misso six, although I don't really care for either one shout outs the Silver Tower Fire, Panda, Groovy Goose, Doctor Scorpio, gwo and everybody else. Happy thing. Same to you Andreeque Gotti. And you do the pre again with the Prince Nana it. You're asking me if I can do it. I can't. I can't do it like Noana. No, I've tried. I failed. It's totally uncool when I do it, when

he does it, it's just spot up. I feel like I would be soiling it if I even attempted to do it. Sean Dee. Does the NXT title not count as a world title according to WWE? I don't believe it does. No, I don't believe so, And I don't think the WWE counts Charlotte Charlotte's NXT title runs as part of her total. Maybe they do, I don't know, but I didn't think they counted them as part

of her overall total. So I would say, but again, some people might bliss fan Friendship Frog died three years ago today, only you would know that that's an incredible piece of trivia. I had completely forgotten about Friendship Frog, and the fact that you know that Friendship Frog died three years ago to this day is incredible to me. I feel like if Bliss fan was ever on a wrestling version of Jeopardy and they had a Bray Wyatt or Alexa Bliss

category, he would run the board. I mean it wouldn't even like nobody else on that stage would have a chance, Like, they wouldn't even they wouldn't be able to get their thumb on the buzzer quick enough. He would just wipe out the entire category. But I don't know if he would be able to answer any of the other questions, Like I could see him going oh for sixty like Becky Lynch did it apparently on Celebrity Jeopardy. But if they had that category, he would smoke everybody on stage. Bass Beer has

got of seduction with the nineteen ninety two and Arabian Night. Could you see Camille signing with WWE when her deal ends next month? With the nwawwe could be getting her and Julius soon. Also, Rouse is underrated. Yeah, Camille apparently is going to be a free agent very soon. I don't see her going to WWE. I think WWE has enough right now. I mean, she's like she's a powerhouse right well, they just sign one in j

I think that Camille ends up with Impact. I think Camille ends up in the knockouts division, and then maybe eventually in aw there's a better chance of that happening. Rumplemaine says, maybe TK is the day I ran that down as a possibility when I the whole clip is on YouTube Who the hell is the Devil? And I ran down all the possibilities of who it could be, Adam Cole, Roderick Strong, Jack Perry, we put Dob Ziggler, And then I said, what if Tony Kahan was the devil? How terrible?

How awful? Would that be? Right? I just kind of threw the name out there as a possibility that would be awful, that would be off the Winston slip forgetting the name of TJ. That's not unusual. Again, I knew it was Tom something I just couldn't, just couldn't. It was right there and I just couldn't figure it out. And Andre Israel wants to send a very happy Thanksgiving shout out to the entire Green World Order that

we have here in our chat, So happy Thanksgiving to the GWO. Let me make sure that I have nailed all of the super chats, and I believe I am all caught up. Bace Bears says, Bray once killed Rambling Rabbit. That was a dark promo. Oh yeah, he he murdered him with the hammer, right, with that giant hammer. I remember that. Yeah, there was a lot of very disturbing shit that came out of some of those Firefly Funhouse promo segments. All right, so we are all caught

up. Very good. Well, thank you guys. Matt Riddle cut his hair. He Matt Riddle cut his hair. Is there a picture of this? Well, hey, you know, sometimes you changed things up a little bit. It's not the worst thing in the world that you could be doing. Let mean, case in point, you saw that covid hair from the classic clip that I played earlier. Right, to go from that to this, it's a big improvement, big improvement. All right, I am told, I'm told that we have just hit four three on the Like, why

did it take this long? You disappoint me? This is it right here, This is all you need. Boom thumbs up. It's not that hard, you disappoint me. But we got there. We got there, so that's all. That's all the matters. We got there, So let's go ahead and be the booker before we get on at it. Ladies and gentlemen, it is now time to be the booker. One more round. Be the booker here Thanksgiving edition, before we head into the holiday, and we

will kick things off here with a tag team match. You guys know how this works. We start with the tag match, we book a women's match, we book a singles match. That way, we cover all of our bases, cover all the bases, and we begin with the North. We just picked them the other day, Ethan Page and Josh Alexander, perfectly capable tag team. But we already picked them just a few days ago. It's gonna be the North. Didn't we just book this exact match the other day.

It's a great match, don't get me wrong, But I thought we booked this exact match the other day, the American Wolves Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards against the North. I think we booked our first rematch. Here on, be the booker. I'm morphing into Vince McMahon. It's gonna be a series of rematches. I'm be the booker. I don't want this to turn into rematch amania. I'm trying to book some unique matches here. Come on, now still though, gets the bell. So we're we're off to a

good start, all right. Here we go, ladies, be the booker. We begin with timeless Tony Storm. Yes, the reigning AW Women's World champion. Look at it, she's timeless timeless Tony Storm and Rihea Ripley. I need a minute. What a match? What a match? Rear Ripley and timeless Tony Storm. So the reigning AW World champion against the reigning World Heavyweight champion on Monday night? Row, how's that? How's that for a match? Right? You want to book a women's match? There you go.

That's how you do it. That's how you do it. And now on the men's side, we begin with Batista, the Animal, Dave Bautista, and Dave Bautista is going to be going one on one. We should get a drum roll for this. There we go, Dave Bautista one on one with Al Snow. You know the same Al Snow who once said famously the only good wrestling matches are the ones that drew money, to which one fan replied and said, by that logic, could you say that you yourself

have never had a good match in your entire career? Still the sickest burn that I have ever heard. Batista against al Snow and Head. See the thing about Head is Head can't get on her knees because she's got no legs. Anyway, we almost did it. We almost went for a clean sweet, but unfortunately we felt just a little bit short. Two out of three is not terrible. Two out of three is very good. But Batista against Al Snow is definitely not the match I was looking to book in main event.

RUMPELMANE Rumple Maine. Just your super chat just disappeared. The chat is moving way too fast. Let me make sure I'm not missing anything. Here, Here we go. We'll get to you in a second. Doctor Bropio, Doctor Bropio. What if the devil is evil and his torture grew? Oh no, don't even don't even joke about that. Don't even joke about that. The house of torture evil, That would be from the sixth circle of Hell. No, it's not evil. Can't be. It can't be,

It can't be. Libido Bell says, I got a girlfriend and lost her in a span of three weeks. Don't date your coworker. She broke up with me and is more upset than I am. No, wait, she broke up with me and is more upset than I am. The dish track I made didn't help. Well, you did learn a very valuable lesson. I will say that is good advice not to date your coworker. Not that people have not had success dating their coworker before, but generally speaking,

it probably is not a good move. But I'm very sorry to hear that that sucks. The only thing I could say is it happened in the span of three weeks, So look, that's not a long time Billieve me, you can. You're gonna end up doing a lot better than her. Her loss, that's right, her loss three weeks, shake it off, Shake it off, and move on. That's the best advice I can give you. Wasn't, by the way, in three weeks girlfriend, I don't know. I don't know if I would use that word three weeks. It's more

like a mutual acquaintance. You gotta go a little bit longer before you can say we're officially in a relationship. Is it really a relationship? Though? After three weeks, I am intrigued by the idea though that there is a dish track, I'm not gonna lie. I would like to hear that. Yeah, it's especially bad if you work in an office that's smaller. I feel like, if you work for a big company and you have like hundreds of employees or multiple offices, not that it makes it any better, but

that's different. But if you work in a small office, you're taking a real risk. Right, things go wrong. It's just very awkward. Now you gotta go in, you gotta see them every day. It's like, oh my god, you know, who needs that? Who needs that? Just not a good idea. Hoffman says, a month equals a relationship. Yeah, I think a month. A month sounds about right. Even a month though, uh month, I don't know. Even a month seems a little short. But I can live with that. I can live with a

month. If you work in different departments, that could work. Yeah, Like I said, I mean, if it's a small office where you have to come in and see that person every day. If it's the girl at the front desk and you come into the office every single day, in the first face you see is her face, Like, it's fucking terrible. You're gonna come into work every day and you're gonna have to see each other, and it's gonna be so awkward and it's gonna be so uncomfortable if it didn't

end right. So it's like, don't even take the chance. But if you work in a different department, yeah, all right, whatever doesn't go right, all right, I'll go from you know, men's pants to women's bras or whatever. If you work like in a department store, let's say, right, I work at the jewelry counter at Macy's. Right, me and the girl that I work with, we got drunk one night. I went back to her place. YadA, YadA, YadA. Didn't work out. Now I have to come to work and see her. Yeah, fuck

it, I'm gonna go work in the Glasswaars department. Right, there's always ways around it. But if you're in an office and you have like five people in the office, you're fucked. You better start sending your resume out. Who needs to deal with that? Met my wife working together at Walmart. But understand because my ex worker is there too. Walmart's a big place, though, my god, one Walmart is like two different worlds. Yeah, you could work on one side of the Walmart and then the other one

works on the other side. You never even have to see each other. Is Cloverfield the best monster movie? It's definitely one of my favorites. I know some people aren't a big fan of it. Some people might go old school, you know, Godzilla. I was never a Godzilla guy. Honestly, I'm a Cloverfield guy. And I believe that they're working on a proper sequel now, so that has me very exciting now that the strike is over, hopefully we'll hear something about it soon. It's awkward, though, because

at one point my wife was my ex's boss. It's dangerous, that's what that is. I met Santina Morella and his daughter, Arianna Grace from NXT today. They were really cool. Didn't know she was his kid. Yeah, Oh no, he talks about her all the time. I heard about her even before she signed with WWE. I think she was training. He had a school. I think maybe she was training there. But I think she's been in some pageants, like beauty pageants, and she's a beautiful girl.

But yeah, no, he talks her up a lot, so I knew that. I knew that for a while. By the way, we have reached the AMA portion of the stream, so before we wrap up. If you've got questions laying on me, I'll see a rapid fire. I'll see if I can answer them here. Before we get out of here, we'll have some fun. Libido Bell tweeted the song for you. Okay, So Libido Bell tweeted the dish track to me. I wish I could play it, but probably legally right music, I can't play it on here,

so I will check that out after though. The girl from screen even got fired, so there's no more sam oh yeah, j oh god. What's her name? Jenna? Jenna or Tega? I think? Or so? What happened there? I think one got fired, another one walked off the studios basically destroyed the movie. They're not gonna get Nev Campbell back. She basically told them to fuck off after the last one. Write something about the pay scale or something. I'd be shocked if they convinced her to come back.

They basically just screwed over the entire franchise now, So good job there, idiots. Bace Beers says Dominic should shave his head. Are you kidding me? He's got that wonderful mullet going on. You gotta save that for a hair mag a WrestleMania, ray Masterio against the Dominic hair against masks. The only thing is it's gonna be Mysterio and Escobar, probably at WrestleMania. So I don't know when they do Rayan Dominic again, maybe at WrestleMania forty

one. By then his hair will be down to his fucking ass. This guy can't believe how long it is. Mandy Rose says that she's returning to wrestling in twenty twenty four. What kind of wrestling there she can specify.

It could be mud wrestling. I look just like my grandfather. I've had a lot of people tell me that, yeah, because there's a picture in that video I put up on my Twitter, the video I did for my mom for her birthday, and there is a photo in there of my mother with her father, my grandfather, And now I've had a lot of people tell me I look just like him. I wish I had more memories with him. My brother has none because when my grandfather passed away, my gosh,

when my grandfather passed away, my brother was six months old. I was five, So I have some memories with him, but he passed away in eighty seven. He was only fifty five. So I wish I had more time with him, more memories with him. Unfortunately, though I don't. Will Roman be at Survivor series, No, no, he will not. Did they fix the messed up ceiling? They did? And we had our first big downpour overnight, a lot of rain in New York and it

held up. So knock on wood, hopefully it stays that way. Steve, thank you, congratulations, he says on sixteen years. Well, you've become a very big part of that, so I must thank you as well. But I appreciate that. Shout out to Steve mellow bass beer is what are you getting for Black Friday? A toaster? I don't need a toaster, toaster of it? It burned out. Now I have an air fryer. My first air fryer six months ago changed my world. Can't believe I

didn't have one of these things. I don't know what I'm probably getting nothing for Black Friday? Probably nothing. Does my brother watch wrestling? He does not as much as he used to, but yeah, he still pays attention to it. He's the boococky sound bite going on the pod. It's not going on the podcast. But I do have an idea for a superchat, so watch out for that. That may become the new sixty nine dollars Superchat very soon. Stay tuned. Does House of Glory travel to different states and

not too familiar with how other companies work. At the moment, home base is the NYC Arena, which is in Queens, New York. But it's funny you mentioned that. All I will say to you is stay tuned. In twenty twenty four would be an interesting year. Wapatapa says. The Royal solo Monster pants is clean. Your heinous I have no idea what that mean. Wapatapa, you are confusing me. Yeah, the air friar, the air fryer is amazing. Heinous Anus says Based Beers. You guys are weird.

Hogs should come to Jersey. Why what's in Jersey? Who from House of Glory do I think can make a big in WWE or AW? I think there's a lot of people. We have. Our tag team champions right now are Jay Lyon and Mite as Black. They're a team called Main Event m a n E Main Event and they're great. They're fantastic. The people love them. I think they could absolutely get over on television. I would keep an eye out for those guys, and they work other independents as well,

not just House of Glory. As much as I hate the guy, I hate his fucking guts, Charles Mason. Look, you can't deny the talent there. And I think that it's very very likely that we'll see him on television somewhere at some point, which would be good because then gets away from me. I won't have to deal with him anymore. But I have to give the devil his due. He's very talented. Look, there is the reason why he's been our Crown Jewel Champion for eighteen months. Nobody's been

able to stop them. We'll see if that changes next Friday, because next Friday is our final show of the year. No SmackDown that night, although SmackDown is in Brooklyn, we're competing against SmackDown. SmackDown's in Brooklyn at the Barclay Center and we're running a show that night. So we've got Swerve Strickland against Speedball Mike Bailey on that show. It's one of our main events.

That's that's kind of a big deal. And the grizzled young veterans are making their first stop in House of Glory and Mike Santana's challenging Matt Cardona for our world title. And it's gonna be a big night. It's gonna be a very big night. I think Gringo Loco is coming retro Koh with the super chat coming in, says your new pickup line as the commissioner. Hey ladies, do you want to come see my Hog? Well, then you're gonna

be awfully upset when there's no stream. When I'm arrested for sexual harassment and I'm locked up? Can't scream from the pokey now? Can? I don't get good Wi Fi in there? Bass beers? Will we ever see Slo Monster in a Texas Deathmatch? In Hog? You will not see me or have me book one. I'd booked one, but you're not going to see me in the Texas Death Match? Do you want to see my Hog? Oh? My god? Yeah, you go walk up to walk up to

the wrong woman who was out with her boyfriend and watch what happens. I'll get knifed for making a comment like that. Andre. I agree, some of you people are absolute freaks. They say the freaks come out at night, though, so there is something to that. And I fit a laptop in my prison pocket. Now, I don't think so one. You know what, Neither one of those things are gonna happen. I can't. I can't say there's a more likely scenario that one over the other happens. We're

not getting either one of those things. If David Benoit was gonna wrestle, he would have wrestled somewhere by now. The fact that he hasn't wrestled means he's not that interested. Yeah, yeah, power Spine. I'm glad you brought that up, because I totally whiffed and forgot to mention it. I'm gonna be Obviously, Tomorrow is Thanksgiving, which is usually a night off on the Channel anyway, but obviously it's a holiday, and so that's tomorrow.

On Friday is SmackDown. I will be live after SmackDown, and then I will be live again on Saturday night because we have Survivor series war games in the return of Randy Orton and not seem Punk, So that will be on Saturday nights, and we're doing a Wrestle Rumble contest. Go to wrestle Rumble dot com. You got to take a look at this Macho Man legacy belt. This thing is a monstrosity. One person is going to be able to win that belt, but you got to get in on the contest. So

that's on Saturday, and so we have the podcast on Sunday. That's episode eight thirty six, and then Raw Monday night, and then Dynamite next Wednesday, and that takes us into the month of December. So a lot of streaming, a lot of content coming your way. We're not done yet here. We're celebrating sixteen years of the sound off all month Loan Paul Carpenter says, is hog on Fight Happy Turkey Day. We used to be on Fight.

We are now on Premiere Streaming Network. So if you go to Premiere Streaming Network dot com, you can sign up there and you can get access to our shows. Bace Beer is match of the Year so far, MJF against Brian in the Iron Man match. It's on my list. I have not narrowed my list down yet. I have about thirty plus matches on my list, and I'm going to try to narrow it down to either ten or fifteen, which is always the hardest part. The hard part is not coming

up with what matches I think fit the criteria. For Match of the Year. It's always trying to narrow it down. That's always the toughest part. But as you know, at the end of every year, I do my countdown of the best matches, and then the week after that I do predictions for the following year. So you will have to wait to find out what my match of the year is. I'm not going to give it away here, but is that match on the list the bigger broader list? Absolutely,

will velveteen Dream ever get another shot or is he done for good? He's done? So thank you guys for hanging out with me here on Thanksgiving Eve. Very cool episode of Dynamite tonight. Good kickoff to the Continental Classic again. I think Mark Briscoe should have won in that main event. But we have more matches coming up on Saturday. I will not be watching any of them because I will be watching Survivor series, so I will have to watch

them later on. But come on back first on Friday, before we even get to Wargames. We got one episode left of SmackDown, and we'll see what nick all This has up his sleeve, and we'll find out what nick All This was chatting with Adam Pierce about the other night on Raw when he

showed up. You missed all the other contents on the channel. The Raw review from Monday night is up. There are clips up from episode eight thirty five as well, including one on will Osprey and my take on the criticism in some circles of aw signing only maybe the best wrestler in the world. Yeah, let's rip it apart and criticize of all the signings. Let's rip that apart. There's something not quite kosher with some of the criticism, So

go check that out least some comments. Let me know if you agree, and we'll come back and do it all over again on Friday. So until then, if you will stay safe, enjoy all the food gobble gobble, and we will be live again on Friday night for the post Thanksgiving episode of Smack. Take care, guys,
