AEW Dynamite 5/28/25 Review | FALLOUT From Double Or Nothing, All In Texas Takes Shape!

they did the exact opposite. They opened the show with the men, one of whom was the winner of the oen, that being Hangman Adam Page, and they closed the show with the winner of the women's Mercedes Monette, coming out to confront her challenger at All in Texas for the AW Women's World Championship, Timeless Tony Storm comes out and they close the show with the two women having their first formal face to face confrontation in the middle of

the ring. Forty five days. We have forty five days to go until All in Texas, until they have their match, and that's going to be a long forty five days depending on what they do between now and then, because we've seen this before where they don't always necessarily have the best segments in between the film the gap from show to show. But here you have two of the biggest, not even two of the biggest, the two biggest female stars, two of the biggest stars period in the entire company.

I sure hope they can come up with some compelling television to keep us occupied for these next forty five days until we get to the match, because we still have a waste to go. The main events segment, it was fine as an introductory segment between the two of them. What I'll be looking for is to see in the weeks to come, how do they put some real heat, you know, how do they throw some real gasoline on

the fire here to get us interested in this match? Now, it's going to be a great match, first time meeting here in this company since Mercedes came to aw But what are they really going to do to heat this thing up? Between now and then tonight? It was more about the two of them being out there. It was almost like a mutual appreciation or a mutual admiration society where they were putting each other over in their journeys to get to where they are. I want to see

more than that in the in the coming weeks. How do they get there? You know, what are we going to get It's too early to decide, you know how the build is going to go, And you know, I have my thoughts about how we got here and why I think doing this match in the first place is a mistake, but they set things in motion with the two women. At the end of the show. To dial it back to the beginning of the show, we had Hangman Adam Page who beat will Osprey on Sunday in

and outstanding made event. Those two had an incredible match, and it will be Hangman challenging John Moxley for the

aw World Championship. And there actually is a very interesting story brewing now involving Hangman, Swerve, Strickland and will Ospray caught in the middle trying to play peacemaker between them, because the story is, if we want to beat John Moxley, if we want to get that belt out of the briefcase and take down the death Riders in Texas, we only have so much time between now and then, right forty five days between now and then. To get the job done, we have to be on the same page.

We have to be a cohesive unit. Hangman and Swerve, they still don't like each other, They're still fighting, They're still at each other's throats, and it looks like will Ospbury is now in the role of well, I've got to find a way to bring these two together. I've got to find a way where we could all get on the same page and we could do what needs to be done. And that is a very interesting story, right.

We'll see how it plays out in the weeks to come, but I liked that and that was, honestly the best part of the entire show was the opening segment. Everything after that was below that. We had some good wrestling on the show tonight. We had I don't know what it was, in the air, in the water, whatever it was. There were a few different instances on this show of people getting busted open hard way, so it was one

of those nights. And there was a very scary spot, a very scary and stupid spot in the TNT Championship match because late in the day today they had just out of nowhere, they announced that Adam Cole would be defending the TNT title against Kyle Fletcher, which I thought, well, that's an all in match, and it very likely will end up still being an all in match because we didn't get a resolution tonight. But there was a spot in that match that scared the shit out of me.

But it also pissed me off because and we'll get into what happened there, but it was just so unnecessary you know, given who was involved in the match that when I saw it, I just thought, like, how stupid can you be to do it, to think about it or pitch the idea of doing it. And it wasn't like any spot that we haven't seen a million times before in other matches, But I saw that and I just thought that was one of the stupidest things I

saw all night. On this show, we also had the debut of a new star who they have been teasing now for several weeks. Tecla from Stardom arrived on Dynamite tonight, and boy did she ever. It's too bad, Nobody told the production team. We'll talk about her debut, we'll talk about everything else that happened here on this show. We had a no disqualification women's tech match. Talk about that and more in your aw Dynamite review. It is Wednesday night, May twenty eighth, two thy and twenty five. I am

But if you notice like a crown next to your name, now you know what that is. See there's quizzical one. He's got one himself. So let's get involved here in the party. I want to hear from all you guys. Let's get

into this show. Tony Shavanni was in the ring, and he was in the ring to introduce the winner of the twenty twenty five Owen Hart Foundation Men's Tournament, Hangman Adam Page, who has punched his ticket to Arlington, Texas. He will be challenging to win back the aw World Championship, which he has not held in many years, so he made his way out to the ring. Shavanni called it an incredible win on Sunday and he handed the microphone

right over to Hangman. He said victory and defeat are fleeting and he had lost sight of what was really important over the last three years. Says what matters is not the win, it's not the loss. It's what you decide to do with it that matters. Double or nothing.

Two men enter the ring knowing one of them had to be beaten, and he thanked well Osprey for giving him the fight of his life and reminding him why he decided to do this in the first place, dispelling any notion that he may have had going into it about Osprey not being able to carry this company going forward.

Now he knows that he can. Page said, victory is fleeting as the title around his waist is something that he is not going to be defending yet, the Owen Hart title around his waist, and he said, next year they're going to crown a new Owen Heart Foundation champion. So he took the title off and he handed it over to Tony Shavanni, and he said that he has to look forward to what this has really been about this entire time. It's not about the Owen Heart Belt.

Tournament's over. He's looking ahead. It's all about the AEW World Championship. That's what this was all about from the very beginning. That's what winning the Owen Heart Tournament gets you. It gets you a shot at the AW World Championship. So that's what it's about. It's been the prize and the responsibility he's been chasing every moment of aw's existence, and unfortunately that has been locked away. In a briefcase said, his very first day in AAW, he told the fans

they would be his boss. So tonight he makes another promise in seven weeks, right here in Texas, because tonight they were in El Paso. Yeah, Blt's bend. Yes, I know he said men's World Championship. I didn't think it was necessary to say the men's World champ I think it's kind of implied and understood that he's going after the men's World Championship. We already have a winner on

the women's side. I don't think he's going to be stepping into the ring with Timeless Tony Storm, although I have no doubt that Timeless Tony Storm and hangman Adam Page would have a very good match. I think we could just call it the AW World title. I think people will know what we're talking about here. But he says, right here in Texas in seven weeks, he is going to win that championship and he's going to free it

from that briefcase. Page said that he will defend it with every fiber of his being, and that is a prom that he will keep and when you're a babyface and you make a promise, you need to deliver on that promise. So he has promised to win the championship. Swerve Strickland interrupted, No Prince Nana. He came out by himself to the ring and then he pitched it to

a video on the big screen. He wanted to show Hangman a video and it is highlights from the post Dynasty edition of aw Dynamite back on April ninth, and it's the Young Bucks in the ring because this was right after the Young Bucks had made their return. And so the Young Bucks are in the ring. And they said, as far as why they cost Swerve Strickland the title when he challenged John Moxley for it, they credited Hangman. We did it for Hangman, they said, Page never wanted

him to be the world champion again. They still love Hangman and they know he still loved them. So Swerve calls collusion and he wants a straight answer from Hangman about whether the Young Bucks were working on his behalf. Don't lie to me. Page said that in Dynasty he locked his eyes on Swerve because remember Hangman came out during that main event. He said he locked his eyes on Swerve, and then he locked his eyes on John Moxley, and for a second he even thought about helping Swerve.

He called Swerve a dumbass and said that if he wanted to cost him the world title, he would have done it himself to his face, because he's done it before. Swerve said that all sounds good, but you're still full of shit. So things got heated. They came nose to nose and at that point we heard Will Osprey's music and he power walked his way down to the ring and Osprey told Swerve, he goes look. He looks at him like a brother for what he did for him

early in his career. And he then told him that you're wrong about Hangman, because you learn something about a man when you're in the ring with them, high stake situation, and hangman cares about this place. Osprey said, at first he thought Swerve was the guy, and then he thought he was the guy, but now he realizes it's Hangman.

He told Swerve that people were starting to believe in them again and if they worked together, but before he could even finish his thought, before he could even finish what he was going to say, Swerve slap the mic out of his hand, and Swerve made it very clear to him in no uncertain terms that he will never

work with Hangman, and then he left the ring. So then Osprey turns to Hangman, and Hangman tells Osprey that he would never take any of Swerve's abuse again, and then he left the ring, and so Osprey was left alone looking very stressed over this whole situation and just wondering how he was going to be able to remedy this. I thought this was excellent. This was an excellent opening segment.

Here they have seven weeks between now and all in, and I I think it's a really good story to tell with them heading into their biggest show of the year again. Here they have the opportunity to finally put an end to all this and take back the championship that's been held hostage now since October. And the only way they're gonna do that is by getting on the same page. Because, of course, what do the death Riders have.

We see it at the end of every pay per view, right they have the numbers game, and now they have the Young Bucks as well with them, so they have the numbers advantage. If Hangman goes in there by himself, with just Osprey as a friend, it's not gonna be enough. So that's the story they're telling here, trying to get them to not necessarily like each other, but just have, you know, come to an understanding here that you have to just trust each other, even if just this one time.

Let's come together and let's let's do the deed. All right, Let's get the job done. And they have several weeks now to play this out, and you know, it's a role for Osprey to play. Yeah, I was surprised when Hangman won on Sunday. I didn't mind him winning. I like him winning and going on to All In and hopefully winning the championship. I don't know that he's going to, but I like that he's going, you know, into that main event. And I would have been fine with Osprey

being the guy as well. But I was expecting it to be Osprey. And because of that, I was expecting that we were going to circle back to this stuff with Swerve and Hangman, because there were some backstage segments over the last few months that tease this that maybe they were going to make up or maybe, you know, Hangman was going to apologize to him, and they were going to be able to put their differences aside and

take on the young Bucks. I thought for sure that was going to be the match in Texas the history not only would Swerve and Hangman, but with Hangman in the Bucks. And you saw the footage from April where the Bucks came out on TV and said, oh, hey, we did that for you, Hangman, We cost him the title for you. It just seemed natural that they were

going to circle back to it. And I do wonder when Tony Kahan made the decision about who he wanted to win this tournament, did he have Hangman, you know, penned or penciled in from day one, because there were reports that came out that they were going back and forth and only Tony Kahan knew who the winner was

going to because he didn't want it to leak. But there were still discussions, and you know, they were still debating who they wanted to win, possibly right up until this weekend where it could have gone either way, fifty to fifty. And then there was a report from Fightful that said that each guy was actually lobbying management to go with the other guy, where Hangman thought that Osprey should win, and Osprey said no, no, no, Hangman should win. Right,

I saw that report came out. How often do you hear about something like that in wrestling? Right? One of the more selfish industries out there, and you have to be a little selfish to some degree. But you hear stories all the time, especially you know back in the day, there's always that master politician and people playing political games and trying to step on other people to get ahead and take their spot. That's what the wrestling business is,

that's the entertainment industry, right. I mean you hear stories like that all the time. And here in this situation, these two guys, it's like, oh no, no, no, no, he should he should get the match. No, no, no, he should get the match. And I'm like, well, it's kind of nice that, you know, these two guys are looking at

the bigger picture here. You know, in their mind they think that it would be better for the company, or it would be better for the story, you know, to go with the other guy, or they realize maybe that whoever goes to Texas is not gonna win. They're just going to do a job for John Boxley. This would be the cynical way of looking at it, because maybe they're like, oh, they're just gonna give it to Darby, So whoever goes to Texas is going to fucking lose. Yeah,

give it to Hangman. Oh no, no, no, no, give it to Osprey. Whatever the reason, Whatever the reason, I have no issue with Hangman being the one to get the shot. But now I guess they could do Swerve and Osprey maybe as a team against the Bucks. But the point I was getting at is if it was a late decision, I do wonder if that changes things

a little bit. Maybe that was the original thought process, that we would have swerven Hangmen against the Bucks and we would have Osprey in the main event, And did that change you know, was it a late decision? Tony doesn't talk about stuff like that, but I would be curious to know when that decision was actually made. But this was a great segment. This was the high point

of the show. So we had a highlights package showing footage from the Anarchy in the Arena match on Sunday night, which, again, if you didn't see it, it was a lot of fun. I know, those types of matches are not everybody's, you know, favorite thing in the world. It really is just in how they do it. And this one was just a lot of fun, you know, when I was watching it and when it was over, and the music and everything else,

I just thought it was a lot of fun. I thought it was the best anarchy in the arena match they've done. And this was probably the fourth, one fifth one now that they've done. I thought this was the best of the bunch. They showed the death Riders arriving outside the arena in their pickup truck, and they get out of the pickup truck and they begin, you know, walking into the building. And I don't know how many

of you noticed John Boxley. Maybe it was just the way that it was shot, but it looked like he almost walked into a wall, like he thought he was supposed to go this way. He was looking or not paying attention, and he almost walked into the fucking wall. But then he turned and he went the other way, and they walked into the arena for the opening contest, which was John Moxley, Gabe Kid and Marina Shaffir against Mark Briscoe, Speedball, Mike Bailey and Willow Nightingale. Kind of

like a smaller version of anarchy in the arena. Not quite as chaotic, but still it was one of these aw Trio's matches where there's a lot going on and a lot of big dives and a lot of big spots, and it's just it is kind of chaotic in its own way. Not quite as chaotic as Sunday, but it was a little chaotic. Gabe Kid was out there. He was looking like he was costplaying as John Boxley with the bald head, and just the way he was out there addressed it was it was as if he was

trying to dress like John Boxley. Leopoldo says, John Moxley never seems to know where he is going, you know what. That is true. That is true. He's a very weird guy. You ever see him when he comes out on TV. He's making like he's making all these weird mannerisms, you know, where he's like, you know, he's moving around like this his body. It's like he's being possessed by some kind of like demon or something. I don't know, He's just he's a weird fucking guy. So anyway, this broke down

very early and got chaotic. Briscoe did a saboot triple triple yet a triple dump dive, a triple jump dive out of the ring onto the heels before they went to commercial. Gabe Kid took over during the break and the Death Riders stayed in control. When they came back from break, Bailey made a hot tag. He took out Kid and Moxley with some rapid fire kicks Willow and Marina. They entered and Willow took control. Kid had to break up a pinfall. Moxley tried to get his hands on

Willow Nightingale, but Bailey put a stop to that. Marina Shaffir then surprised Bailey with an exploder suplex. So, of course, Willer Yuda gets involved and shoves Bailey off the top turn buckle. He splats all the way down to the floor. Kid then grabbed him and tossed him into the barricade. Then he picked him up and he dumped him through a table. I didn't even know what was there was on the other side of the timekeeper's barricade. And then

they went to another commercial break. I thought I was watching Saturday Night's main event again. The Death Riders continued the assault on Bailey as the show came back Kid hung him up on the top rope. Moxley tagged in ate a big kick from Speedball and he stumbled back into his corner to make a tag back to Gabe Kid. Bailey managed to land a double knee strike and he made a tag out to Brisco and Brisco got some

offense in. Willow took out Marina with a big splash off the apron, and then Bailey took down Moxley with the moon salt. Willow and Bailey they cleared a path for Mark Briscoe to hit froggy bow on Gabe Kid, which led to a close near fall. So now Claudio is out there. Claudio gets involved, but he got run off by Commander, who appeared from out of nowhere. There he was standing on the top rope and of course,

you know Claudio's on the outside. Over there. Commander does his rope walk dive, but he's got to make sure, you know, he's got his balance, and it takes a few seconds, so it's like time stands still as Commander is trying to balance himself to make sure that he can do this move. And then he did it. Know, he nailed it. Very talented, but you know it is. It is a little funny sometimes when you just gotta just gotta stand there and wait. It's like, oh shit,

I know what's covin. I should probably move, but I think I'll stay here and hey, let's see what happens. So he wiped out Claudio and fought him to the back. Now of the reason is because the two of them are wrestling, probably right now as I am speaking, they are wrestling on collision, and the winner of that match is going to go on to the four way match, which I'll talk more about later on next week's show

for the international title involving Kenny Omega. Moxley put Briscoe to sleep though with a bulldog choke and he wonted for the heels. They gave this I think just shy of twenty minutes. Probably didn't need to go that long. Otherwise, I thought it was a fine showcase for people, especially like Bailey. You know, Bailey looked good in this match and gave kid, you know, just as a way to get the association with the Death Riders over for people

who may not realize that he he's with Moxley. I don't know if we're going to see him every single week, but he is with Moxley and the Death Riders, at least in an unofficial capacity. The Hurt Syndicate did a postmatch promo backstage at Double or Nothing on Sunday. They aired it here. They were in the back, MVP was there, MJF was there. MVP said that it was the fifth successful title defense and it was then and with a

tear in his eye. It was also the debut of MJF as a full fledged member of the Hurt Syndicate. MJF put over lashly in Shelton Benjamin and said that those titles ain't going nowhere. Said it's time to strap them all in with gold and for MJF to go back after his trip will be when it comes to the Syndicate, it's not personal, it's just business. I was hoping they would actually be on the show because they've been one of the more interesting parts to the show.

Outside of this tape segment. We got nothing from the Hurt Syndicate tonight, so that was disappointing. Ricochet was in the back and he said that he told everybody that after Double or Nothing he would continue his quest for gold, but he took a step back and you know, he was looking at the landscape. He sees the death Riders, he sees the Ops, he sees the don Kallis family. Does he see the frat house after tonight? He sees all of these groups, and he realizes Ricochet needs a crew.

He needs some loyal subjects on his quest for gold, and once he finds the perfect crew, he will show everybody why Ricochet is out of this world. And then he did his little bird noise. He kept saying the word and emphasizing the word crew, and it just so happens that they have a group. It's not even a group, it's a tag team called Crew, which is Action Andretti and Leo Rush. So. I don't know if I'm just kind of putting the puzzle pieces together here, but that

may have been a little hint. And I actually think it's not a bad idea, you know, Ricochet having his own little group. I think you could also just bring in Samantha Irvin and put her with Ricochet, and that would also get him some good heave. He already gets heat. But I still feel like that combo would work even if he's not in a group. Just bringing her in and having them as a pair on TV together and

just being obnoxious, but him having a little faction. You know, I don't mind it if it was him and Leo Rush and Action Andretti and they wanted to, you know, actually do something of note with them, if they were going to be almost like Lackey's for him, I mean it could work because I was wondering coming out of the pay per view. You know, he beat Briscoe in that ambulance match, not stretcher match, and I thought, okay, well he won, which he had to, But now what?

And I still don't know the answer to that question. There's no further clarity after this first post Double or Nothing show about where Ricochet goes in the weeks ahead. We still have seven weeks to go before Texas. Uh, but what's the direction for him? Are they waiting for Kevin Knight to come back from Japan because he had a little issue with Ricochet going on then he had to leave to go work the super Juniors Best of the super Juniors, which I believe, correct me if I'm wrong.

I believe that ends this weekend. So it is possible that they'll just resume that when Kevin Knight because Kevin Knight was getting a pretty decent push for himself. I mean, he was rubbing elbows with all the top names in the company in these different tag matches and even some singles matches. Before he left. I think the last match he had was against Okata, So I would think that when he comes back, they're going to want him in that same position. Maybe they'll pick up with Rikoshet and him.

I just feel like Ricoshet should be doing more than that. Now he knows that the heel stick works for him. It works a lot better than it would if he was just babyface Ricochet, because that would just be fucking boring. So what he's doing, I think is working. But I just think it's important to get him involved in something meaningful and not just slot him the Paragon or the Paragon comes out on Collision every week, and I mean, I couldn't give two shits about what they have those

guys doing right now. They're slotted at a certain level, and I'm sorry, my interest level wanes, you know, you know in the case of some of these guys, based on what they're doing. I've enjoyed what Rikoshet has been doing, and hopefully they could find something decent. He may not be challenging for a title. Hopefully they could find something decent for him. We'll see if those two guys link

up with them. We had a tag team no disqualification match with Megan Bain and Penelope Ford taking on Ana j and Harley Cameron. This was a rematch from the buy in pre show on Sunday. Anna Jane and Harley Cameron won that match, so this was the rematch but with no disqualification rules. Shout out to Jake in the chat. What's going on? Jake? Go check out our leader board. Refresh the leader board and see where you stand. May's

the Great is number one right now. Now it does reset after every stream, just so you know, so everybody will have a chance to try to be number one. But I see right now Mayes is number one man. He's got bragging rights so far. Look at this guy. This turned into a bit of a mess. This turned into a bit of a mess. But the one thing you can't say is that these women didn't take a beating in this match, especially the babyfaces. Penelope Ford came out, she was wielding a trash can. Megan Bay and had

a golden chair. Harley Cameron and Ana Jay came out. They had wooden boards, and we see matches like this all the time in this company. I feel like every other match they do is some form of hardcore match. Again, you just kind of getting umb to I get numb to it. After a while, Anna started throwing chairs into the ring. Bain wasted no time in attacking Harley Cameron, setting her up on a chair in the corner. Four

drove Jay into the barricade. Bain missed a corner cannon ball through a chair, and then Megan know saw the board shot by Anna, So Harley Decter with a pipe to the back. She was laying some pipe here on Meghan Bain and she was taking shots back and forth between these two women. She was taking pipe shots, she was taking chair shots, ping ponging her back and forth. She never went down and she ended up taking both

baby faces out with a double clothesline. So Harley avoided a suplex and she delivers a drop toe hold to Megan into the golden chair. Anna hits a snap drop kick on the chair right into Megan's face, and the crowd begins chanting for tables, and they didn't have to wait very long because the baby faces pulled one out. They started setting it up outside as they went into

the commercial break. During the commercial, Megan recovered she drove Anna through a table in the corner with a death Valley driver, and Harley made the save to break up the pen, only to suffer a gut wrench release to German for her troubles. Megan wanted a Urinagi off the apron threw the table that was set up outside. Cameron battled back. She tried a sunset bomb and Megan held

onto that top rope. She wasn't going anywhere, but here comes Anna j She's got a chair and she smacks Meghan Bain in the head with the chair and she got her hand up, but she hit her in the head with the chair and then she lets go and falls backwards and she ends up going through the table. Penelope catches Anna with a lung blower, missed the standing moon salt though onto a chair. Cameron tried a casadora.

This is outside the ring now tried to casadora on Megan Baine, who countered into a facebuster, a very rough looking facebuster on the steel steps to pour Harley Cameron here referee Paul Turner immediately sensed doom and rushed over to check on Harley and then immediately looked up and said doc. Doc called the doctor over in a panic, and the doctor came up. So it was very clear

that she was hurt. Then we saw her when she got up, we saw the damage and she was bleeding from the face and clearly bleeding from the nose, although there was some blood in her mouth too, but it could have just come down, you know, from her nose. But she was busted open and or you know, busted up pretty badly. Whether or not she has a broken nose. She may have a broken nose. I don't know. I don't know if it's broken or not. But she was definitely all fucked up, and she refused help. She said,

let me alone. I'm going to continue, and she continued the match. So the fans rallied behind her and they started chanting feel her wrath. We had a gory special connecting on Penelope by Ana J, but Megan made the save and then hit her fates dissent finish in F five onto a chair that was laying flat in the ring. The way Anna J came down on that chair, face first, she immediately grabbed her face and it looked like she was hurt legitimately, and she rolled out of the ring.

And I'm watching this and I'm thinking, like, what is happening here in this match? You know, Harley Cameron just got her face all busted up. And not even two minutes later, now we have Anna Jay in the ring and she gets busted up. Although I couldn't tell right away you know how bad the damage was. But she rolled out of the ring and then the doctor went over to go check on her, and so Harley Cameron was left all by herself inside. Bain got Harley up

on her shoulders. Penelope Ford went up to the top rope and the goal here was to hit something of a doomsday device, is basically what they were going for. The only problem is Penelope Ford comes off the top rowe with a clothesline or whatever. She's going to give Harley a shot off Megan's shoulders. She completely whiffed. I don't think she made I can't even say she had only a glancing blow. From my vantage point, she got no blow. She didn't even make contact. I don't know

how she missed. This woman, I have no idea how that happened, And so Megan fell backwards and you know what she was going to do anyway, and she dropped Harley backwards in an electric chair and then she covered

her and she got the wind for the Heels. First of all, the minute I first saw that they were doing this match, and they were advertising this match earlier in the day, I knew, Like to me, it just felt like, Okay, this is being booked to give them their win back because they lost on the buy in on Sunday, So now they want to give the Heels a big win to follow up on the loss. And that's exactly what they did here, because you know, they won the match. Second of all, Harley Cameron maywell have

gotten her nose broken on the steel steps. Anna Jay got her face wrecked, so I didn't mention. You know, when Anna stood up and the match was over, and you can get a clear view of her face, her face was not as messed up as Harley's was, but you saw blood on her nose as well, So I don't think her nose is broken. But you know, she also got hurt on that spot in the ring, on that Fate's descent and Harley you know, she insisted on finishing the match. Hat tipped to her. You know, she's

a tough one. But they do so many of these hardcore style matches and all the weapons and all the garbage matches, something like this is bound to happen, especially when you have people in this match who were not accustomed to doing stipulation matches like this. I mean some of them are. I mean, look, Meghan Bain is wrestling matches in GCW. I'm sure she's done stuff worse than this. But you know, Harley Cameron and a Jay, like, how

often really are they doing matches like this? And so they're out there with tables and chairs and all this stuff, and they're using the steps, and they're using this and that and pipes, and this is sometimes what ends up happening here. You know, accidents happen two in one match back to back like that is kind of rare, but that's what we got here. Hopefully nothing too serious. And the doomsday device finish look fucking terrible. I'm sorry, that

just looked awful. So the effort was there, but yeah, this was this was a bit of a mess. They showed Mercedes Monett outside the building. She was arriving in a lowrider here in El Paso, of all places, holding all of her titles in the air, all sixteen titles, holding them up in the air as she was sitting in the backseat, so we would see her later in the show. Then we had the Trio Champions. We had the Ops Samoa Joe, Powerhouse Hobbs, and Katyuri Shabata, and

they took on the Frat House. Now the Frat House. If you've never heard of the Frat House, which is probably one hundred percent of you in this chat right now, the Frat House is a Ring of Honor group. They've wrestled on Ring of Honor TV. They've been on Ring of Honor TV, which is probably why you've never heard of them. Preston Vance, Griff Garrison, Cole Carter, Cole Carr wasn't Cole Carter, the the Tony D guy that they whacked from NXT after they let him go. I think

he was. Then it was down to just Tony D and Stacks, but there used to be a third guy. I don't remember what he was called. That's Cole Carter, I'm pretty sure, and jacked Jamison. I have no fucking idea who jacked Jamison is, but he was certainly the most jacked of the group, hence the name, and he's the one who did the talking here. Once they came down to the ring. Now, before they got into the ring, they showed footage of the frat house partying at various

bars in El Paso. So once they were in the ring, jacked Jamison begins running down the crowd and they have pledges, you know, quote unquote pledges that are in the ring holding a fratthouse flag Samoa. Joe was standing there and he has this priceless look on his face like he doesn't know what to make of all. Shabbata had the same look, like he's watching this and he's like, I don't know, I don't know what the fuck is going on here. So Pressed and Vance got in Joe's face.

That did not end well for Preston Vance. This lasted three minutes, which honestly was longer than I thought it was gonna last. Hobbs dished out some spinebusters to everybody, put Cole Carter away with one as he jumped off the top rope, and that was the end of the frat House. Back to the frat house for these four it was a squash for the ops. You know, some people are gonna make hey about this. Why are these guys on TV as a fucking squash? Like, who cares?

You know? They come out, they have this obnoxious gimmick. You've got Samoa Joe and Powerhouse Hobbs in the ring who then turn around and beat the shit out of these guys. Okay, there's nothing wrong with it. It's fine. I enjoy a good Samoa Joe squash match every now and then. That's all this was did in over States Welcome, it was harmless. Frathouse is the kind of group that

I would expect to see like on NXT. Right, they have Chased you, and they have the family, and they have you know, some of the factions there are, I don't know, just a little. They seem so ridiculous. But yet like Chase You was a great gimmick that got over in NXT, I don't think it would last on the main roster. I've always said that, so like that's what the frat House feels like. It's something you would

see on like a show other than Dynamite. Basically, it could be Collision, it could be Ring of Honor, but you would never ordinarily see it on Dynamite. And if you saw it on Dynamite, this is how you would see it. A group like this, it ain't gonna work on the main show. It ain't gonna work. But it was harmless enough. I'll tell you what I was more confused by. You want to do a squash match, that's fine. I would like to know where the follow up was

with Hook? Where was the follow up with Hook? Hook came out archy in the arena on Sunday, in the middle of all of that chaos, Hook came down to the ring in a hoodie, helped the Baby Faces at one point he gave them the assist Samoa Joe smiled and said, hey, come on in, and Hook looked at him and went nah, and he left. And so you can tell that there's going to be tension there now that Hook is back, and where's that going to go? Right? Okay?

Well he left and it keeps you wondering, well, I better tune into Dynamite if you actually give a shit, you want to know where this is going to go. I got a tune into Dynamite this week, and there was nothing. Hook wasn't there. We got no follow up. Maybe there will be at the taping because they're taping Collision tonight. I believe. I believe they're taping Collision tonight.

It's possible they're saving it for Collision. But we had the ops on this show and you want to do a three minute squash, that's fine, but then take the next four or five minutes to do some sort of follow up involving Hook, and they gave us nothing here, even just a talking segment. I'm not saying anything physical or anything like that, but like a promo or Samoa Joe calling him out, come on out to the ring.

Maybe then Hook doesn't show up, but there was nothing, so I thought that was very odd that we didn't get any follow up here. We had Renee Piquette in the ring after this, and Renee was out to introduce Jamie Hayter, the loser from the women's owen Hart final on Sunday, a Double or Nothing. She comes out to the ring and Renee brings up the fact that she

lost at the pay per view. She was unsuccessful, and she asks what's next for her, and before Jamie could even answer, the lights go out and then the lights come back on and they're showing like the Titan Tron screen and on the big screen we see the Spider because over the last several weeks there's been that little spider that's come down a little spider graphic and people pretty much figured out, you know who that was in

reference to. But this was her debut. So on the screen they show the spider and it says the toxic Spider Techla. This was the debut of Tecla. Now, if you don't know who Tecla is, I don't know too much about her myself. I've seen a couple of matches just in checking. Beyond that, I can't say that I know too much about the woman. But she's been signed with Stardom for the last few years and she became a free agent. People were wondering where she was going

to sign. We saw Julia, you know, end up in WWE, and we've seen WWE scoop up a lot of people. Is she going to go there? Is she going to end up in AAW And then we heard the reports that she was likely already signed to AW. It's like, hey, Tony got one. So it was just a matter of when are they going to debut her and what's her first program going to be? Well, now we know. But but they put the spider logo right up on the screen and it says the Toxic Spider, and she comes

out to attack Jamie Hayter. The only problem is they cut back to the ring. Jamie is already down on the mat and Tekla is standing over her. They missed the initial attack. We didn't see it. We didn't see shit. They cut back to the ring. She's already on her back. So then Jamie gets back up and Techla wipes her out with a forearm shot. So I don't know if that was the plan or if they just realize, oh shit, do it again because we didn't get it on camera. How do you miss that? How do you miss that?

You had one job? This woman is making her day. The lights come back on. You're showing the ring. This woman is standing behind Jamie. Jamie has no idea, she turns around, she gets wiped out, Like how fucking difficult is that? So anyway, she wipes out Jamie after the fact, and then Tecla gets on the mat and she does a little spider pose which is basically like the bray Wyatt crab walk pose. So she did that. On commentary,

they said that Tecla was fired from stardom with cause. Hey, she has something in common with cmpunk fired with cause for striking not just the company official, but also the president of the company. Punk almost did that too. President even said that he feared for his life. Today's episode is sponsored by Hymns. Do me a favor. Close your eyes now. I want you to imagine what you'll look like in six months.

had this woman right who made her debut. And by the way, if they did that on purpose, like, if that was an intentional thing, I just think that was fucking stupid. So I'm just gonna assume. I'm gonna assume that they didn't want it done that way, and they just missed the shot because I actually think it's even worse the other way. Why would you do that? Yeah, that was very dumb. But anyway, so you just had, right, you just had this woman make her debut in this segment.

And I swear this director, this direct could just picked like here, Tony probably on headset, like all right, switch switch switch missed the go package, like they cut away so far you would think it was some deadbeat dad who was dodging child support, like they could wait to get away from this. Now this woman just debuted. We got a shot of her for about five seconds and ex caliber is like, you know, talking about fucking mystico and on we go on to the next Okay, So

I wouldn't exactly call this a very impactful debut. This was not impactful in the way that it could have been. Techlo working with Jamie Hayter. It's good for her because Jamie is a known entity in the company. Jamie is a former aw Women's World champion, So good for Techlas, she'll probably win that match. Not so good for Jamie Hayter. Jamie Hayter lost in the owen Hart Tournament. I think

she should have won. Tony Khan felt differently, so she lost, and now her first feud coming out of this is with a woman who just debuted and very likely is going to win it. Really should win, really should win. What that means for Jamie Hater going forward, I don't think it means anything good. I think the match with her and Techla could be very good, and maybe they make a whole program out of it. Maybe they trade wins back and forth. I would assume they do this

match in Texas, but who knows. That doesn't mean the first match. If this is a program, they could do two three matches. This could be on the Texas card, you know, to get both women on there. I don't know when we get the first match, because they've got some themed episodes of Dynamite coming up in the next few weeks. Got fighter Fest, and you got the Summer Blockbuster, I think on June eleventh, and then there's Arena Mexico. You could build this up as a match for Arena Mexico.

Could do it there, so it's good for Techla. I just don't really see this in the long run being a very good thing for Jamie Hayter. I feel like she's gonna just slide backwards, and I just don't really see. I don't see for her what's gained from that. You know. It's like you come to a fork in the road and you can go left or you can go right, and you wonder what is the right path to take? And I feel like for her, she should have gone left,

and Tony said, no, you're gonna go right. And I think that was I think that was the wrong way to go. Now maybe I'll be proven wrong in three months. In three months, we'll revisit this and see what Jamie Hater is doing. I have a feeling I'm not wrong on this, and that sucks. We had oh oh, before we get to that, Before we get to that, Mentos the You gotta feel good when you have yourself a Mentos Leopoldo. I'm feeling, oh my god, Mentos the fresh Maker.

You know what's better than one? Mentos? Two? Two is better than one. You know, you can't have too much of a good want I don't want to have the whole package. I mean, I thought one Mentos was good. Now I got two. I'm gonna be remember the first Batman movie where they all had the laughing gas, big smiles, on their faces and they're all laughing. A few more mentos and that's gonna be me. Leopold though, thank you, Eminem, thank you both. You guys rock five out of ten.

By the way, on that bonus goal in the chat, we're halfway there for double B the booker. We'll see if we get there. Let's get to this though. We had Adam Cole against Kyle Fletcher. This was for the AWTNT Championship in a match that was only announced earlier this afternoon. I had this pencil then is the TNT title match for all in? And then I saw the graphic on Twitter and I said, Oh, they're doing it tonight.

Doesn't mean they still can't do it at all. In Early in the match, Cole tease the Panama Sunrise where Punky Weiss made the save. Roderick Strong and Kyle O'Reilly ran down and fought Burretta and Romero to the back, and that distraction allowed Kyle Fletcher to attack Adam Cole and deliver a disgusting and very stupid apron power bomb on the outside of the ring, and Cole's head barely

clipped the edge of the ring. You see apron power bombs in a lot of cases, and you know, upper shoulders, mid back, you know, maybe takes the brunt of the impact, sometimes the neck. This one, it looked like he he got just enough of the apron, but it was it was like a grazing blow, which somehow made it look even worse and even more dangerous than any other apron power bomb that you would normally see. And I saw this and I said, my first thought is fuck. I

hope he's okay. And the referee, you know, immediately rushed over to go check on him. It was it was violent. It was a fucking stupid thing to do to a and who his career legitimately was almost over due to a very bad concussion. He's had a couple of very bad concussions, and that last one sidelined him for a very long time. He missed a good chunk of his career. And I just don't understand whose idea was it? It was mutually agreed upon between these two. Was it a

Fletcher thing? And he pitched it and Cole said, let's do it. Was it Cole's idea? I don't know. I don't know, and I don't care. Really, it doesn't matter It was a very stupid thing to do. And I just don't understand in a situation like this. Now, look, you could be concussed doing anything in the ring, right you get into the ring, it is a dangerous place to be. You could get concussed on a body slam. You could get concussed on a fucking clothesline, right, It

could happen on anything. But why with a guy with a documented history of concussions that nearly ended his career, would you even bother trying a move like that? Like, why would you even bother doing it in an atom Cole match? I don't understand that, Like what is to be gained from that? But then you see, like the way this one landed, and you know, he got very lucky because he was okay and the match continued. We

assume he's okay. I mean with concussions, who the fuck knows, you know, it's not like a gash on the back of his head. But I'm just watching those like, what the fuck, man, Like, what are we doing here? Very stupid? Cole tried battling back. When things came back from break, Fletcher hit a spinning body slam. Fletcher opted to pose that delay allowed Cole to hit a super kick Panama Sunrise was countered into a roll up only for two Fletcher popped up with a snap German and a running

boot in the corner. Yeah. Now just look at it the chat, I mean, look was it was it mc fol is, Mick Foley. God knows how many concussions he's had in his life, but it wasn't that long ago. Foley. Uh oh, no, you know what it was. Foley was going to have a retirement match. That's what it was. Folly, I think, on his sixtieth birthday, said that he wanted to have a match like a death match, one last

death match, and he started training. He was going to drop way posted a whole video about it, and then he posted another video saying that it's it's not happening because somehow he was diagnosed with another concussion and he has no idea how he got it. So even outside the ring, Like again, it doesn't take a whole lot sometimes in his case. I mean, he's a different situation altogether,

just based on his injury history. But it's true. I mean, you can get a concussion in a lot of different situations. But I just when you have a guy with that kind of history. I'm just I don't know. I'm just puzzled why you would even attempt something like that when it's completely unnecessary, Like it adds nothing to the match. It's not like I'm gonna watch a match between Adam Cole and Kyle Fletcher and think, yeah, you know what, the match was all right, but you know what it

was missing. It was missing an Apron power bomb. I can't really give this match more than three and a half stars, but boy, if they had that Apron power bomb, that easily four and a half stars. Like, no one is saying that. No one is saying that Fletcher wanted a brainbuster. Cole countered into a last shot and a Panama Sunrise, then he lowered the knee pad. He looked for the boom. Josh Alexander at this point, sprints into

the ring. He attacks Cole for the disqualification. Fletcher and Alexander there putting the boots now to coal And you mean I'm watching this going, boy, you know, Kyle Fletcher is awfully forgiving, because yes, I mean, it looked like he was probably about to eat a knee strike, but he also just lost the potential to win the TNT championship here, but he's working with Alexander to put the boots to this guy until brody King's music hits and brody King comes out charging to the ring with a chair.

Alexander and Fletcher bailed. There was a scheduled match tonight coming up between brody King and Josh Alexander, hence why they did this like this. We got a rare DQ finish that that's kind of the big story here outside of that dumb spot. We got a rare disqualification. We get disqualifications all the time on WWE television. That's one of my pet peeves about WWE television. Although they don't

call it. They don't usually they don't announce anything. They just ring the bell and they don't even announce what the actual finish of the fucking matches. But we get more finishes like this on the other show typically, So it's a relatively rare thing to see this on aw TV. So it is still very possible. I'm thinking as I'm watching this, like, all right, we could still do Fletcher and Cole. There was no winner here. We'll get back

to this. Maybe it's Texas, Maybe it's before Texas. But you know, I'm sure we'll get another one of these, because what we got here was good. It was good up until the finish, which ruined it. But what we got here before that was good. Between these two. When they came back, Brody King and Josh Alexander were waiting

patiently or maybe not so patiently in the ring. There were like two bulls ready to charge until the bell rang, and then they went right to their match, which was to decide who moves on to next week's four way for the International Championship, involving Kenny Omega. They threw security out of the ring. They started slugging it out. After a break, King managed to release German souplex. You try to larry it with the bad arm that was worked over before the break, and it did really have that

much effect. So he threw one with the left arm and that led to a double down. Now both men go up in the corner and the top turnbuckle pad got removed in the struggle here. That allowed Alexander to drive King's bad arm down onto the steel. Alexander wanted a supplex on the apron. Brody locked on a sleeper. Alexander wrenched the bad arm and connected on a German on the edge of the ring. Alexander tried to mock Brody by doing the running charge that Brody usually does

up against the barricade. King, though, got a boot up and then he hit a charging crossbody of his own back inside. King wasted or wanted his corner cannon ball. Alexander moved, he got the ankle lock applied, and there was an arm trapped German supplex out of the corner by Josh Alexander, who got busted open badly above his eye as King landed right on top of his face. A lot of people on this show tonight got their

faces all fucked up. You could add Josh Alexander to that list, and you could, honestly, you could add Chad Gable to that list, because remember he got his face fucked up by VIKINGO on Raw Monday night. So it was a bad week. It was a bad week in terms of that. But up top Alexander wanted a moonsalt. King got the knees up and he hit a King Kong lariat and then he answered with a gonze bomb for the wind and Taz said that it looked like Alexander got hit in the face with a bowling ball.

He's not kidding. There was a lot of blood. Not quite as much blood as we saw in the match with Mark Briscow and Ricochet on Sunday, but he got busted pretty good here. The last time these two men met one on one was on Collision the beginning of the month and they went to a fifteen minute time limit draw. Here there was no such outcome. We had a decisive winner, and that winner, shockingly was Brody King. I was not expecting Brody King to win this match.

Maybe a DQ, but again, how often do we get those in aw This was a surprise. This was a pleasant surprise. Brody King is one of those guys. He comes out, he's all tatted up, He's a big, nasty looking guy. He's out there, he's always look looks like he's murdering people, but he never wins the big match. He puts up a good fight, but he never wins the big match. So I had no reason to come into this thinking that he was going to win this. Especially Josh Alexander is still the new guy there, and

he's got the backing of the Kallus family. They're not really doing anything with Brody King right now until Buddy Matthews gets back. So it was a pleasant surprise to see him go over here in this match, and so he now punches his ticket to that fatal four way match on the show next week for the international title. And the action we got here was really good. You know, it sucks he got busted open, but all the action around that was very good. These two went out there

and they had a slugfest. Now in the back, Kyle Fletcher was angry, said that he doesn't need anybody's help to beat Adam Cole and right now he should be standing here before us as the TNT champion. So Adam Cole showed up, he attacked him and the two of them had to be separated. Cole kept saying he had him beats, I had you beats. You're dead, You're dead. Cole is lucky he's not dead after that apron bomb.

So again it's very clear we're going to be getting at least one rematch between these two, and the next man to hold the TNT Championship should be Kyle Fletcher. Whenever they want to do it, whether it's in a few weeks, whether it's in July in Texas. Kyle Fletcher is your next TNT champion. Bring some gold into the Kallus family. The hell at some point if you want to, when you're ready to take the titles off the Hurt Syndicate, when things go south with them, a MJF and the

inevitable happens. Because I was thinking about this, like, if not FTR, who would the titles go to next? When you look at the landscape of tag teams right now in AW who beats the Hurt Syndicate? You do have Alexander and Takeshta in the Kallis family. So in the next few months we could end up at a scenario where Josh, Alexander and Kenoski Takesha are tag team champions

and Kyle Fletcher is the TNT Champion. Very possible. Then we had the closing segment here on this show, Mercedes Monet out to the ring to close things for her face off with the AW Women's World Champion Timeless Tony Storm, and Mercedes says that she now stands before us as the greatest TBS champion and RevPro champion of all time, but also as the greatest winner of the owen Hart tournament.

She said that legends like owen Hart and her hero Eddie Guerrero, who was actually from El Paso, so that was appropriate to get an Eddie Guerrero name drop on the show. She came into the arena and the Lowrider, so that was her little tribute to him. But she said, legends like owen Hart and Eddie Guerrero, they can't compare to the greatness of Mercedes Monette. So she was interrupted by Tony Storm, who placed her Women's World title on the mat like a dividing line in between the two

of them. Mercedes said that these fans are sick of the black and white. They want a champion full of color. Tony said that she's waited so long for her. Four hundred and forty one days ago, Mercedes Monette arrived in adw on a show named after herself, and since then she has won titles, she has made history, and she's remained undefeated. But she has never once spoke to her. She has never once looked at her. She says she's

been watching her since before she even came. Mercedes, you know she's referring to Mercedes said that she's been watching Tony before since even coming to AW and she told Anthony Kahan that this was the one match that she wanted to have, so dolling, what took you so long? And Mercedes said, patience, dolling, patience, This is not about Tony, It's about her and her legacy. She called herself the Beyonce of wrestling women's wrestling, Tony, do you not know

who I am? I am the standard. I am the conversation. I am the conversation. Wait a minute, didn't doesn't Charlotte say that? I just realized Mercedes called herself the conversation. Isn't that That's something Charlotte Flair has been calling herself on TV? Hum anyway, she said, I am the standard, I am the conversation, I am the blueprint, I am the revolution. I am a revolutionary, I am a visionary.

Soon she'll be coming out and the entire crowd will be going, should jack everybody's gimmick while we're at it. Tony said that she's the Tony Storm of pro wrestling, and Mercedes has never met anyone like her. Mercedes said, you're right. This girl, the shy, nervous Tony Storm that she met ten years ago. This girl is very different. But she is not a boss anymore. She's a CEO now and at all in Texas. She's bringing it home and they're going to have the greatest women's match of

all time. So Tony said, you know, the two of them, they have many similarities. They've both started very young. They both started on the indies. They were given flowers and trophies, and when that wasn't enough, they left it all behind to follow their hearts and in aaw they became exactly who they are meant to be. But there's just one glaring difference. While Mercedes wants all the titles, she only needs one, looking down at the women's world title on

the map. She has lived for this, she has cried for this, she has bled for this, she has died for this. Ooh, zombie Tony Storm. So she wants to ride the money train through the Tony Tunnel. Just she just hopes that she can get deep enough. Mercedes said not, even Tony's hips are wide enough for the money train.

Forty five days from now, Tony said, they will meet again in Texas, and somewhere in the world, a little girl with the big dreams will be watching and she will say, holy shit, these bitches are crazy, and then she will find out who the better woman is. Mercedes, I sincerely believe that you are the greatest of all time, but unfortunately for you, I happen to be timeless. And Mercedes said that she may call herself timeless, but what she deserves is for her time to come to an end.

See you it all in? And Tony told her, see you it all in? And it ended with Mercedes throwing her titles down and she extends her hand for a handshake. Tony accepts. They pull each other in real close, and Tony gives her a sniff like a dog, and then she kissed her on the hand. Mercedes then tried to hit her with the monet maker, tried to get her

in that backpack position, but Tony avoided it. Tried to hit storm zero, and Mercedes bailed out of the ring, and then Tony I think was dancing and gyrating in the ring to close the show. Forty five days. Forty five days is going to feel like a fucking lifetime if they don't come up with some really interesting stuff for these two to be doing between now and then.

We've seen this. This has been an issue before with Mercedes in particular and some of the feuds that she's had, where if there's a huge gap in between shows between her next big match and the last one, I don't know, it could be tough creatively for them to come up with stuff that I find particularly interesting. So I hope they don't have an issue here with that. I mean, Tony Storm is obviously very entertaining, and there's any number of skits or segments they could come up with for her.

But forty five days, seven weeks, we still have seven weeks before we even get the first match, and maybe at some point we'll get the obligatory can they coexist match, We'll get a contract something like they'll hit every wrestling trope that you can. But this is a big match, Like, nobody is denying that this is the biggest possible women's match given the current roster that AW could do. It's not the match I was hoping to see in Texas. But is it the biggest possible match? Yes, it is.

Tony Storm is their women's World champion, she's their women's World champion, She's their biggest star in that division. Mercedes is undefeated. If Tony is the biggest star, Mercedes is number two, or maybe Tony is one A and Mercedes is one B, just based on the booking and how strong she's been kept now for over a year. So

this match was inevitable at some point. But I really I still feel like it was a missed opportunity though, to not you know, kind of split them away from each other and have Tony do something with Jamie or somebody else and then have Mercedes defend her title, which he's not doing on this show. She's going as the champion, but she's not defending her title and defend the TBS title against Athena. Now I understand with Athena. It's dead, it's over. That ship has sailed wave goodbye. It's like

the cruise ship taking off for the week. Okay, goodbye. I don't understand it. I'll never understand it. I asked a question on my stream the other night. Why is it that we get to see Bandido the Ring of Honor World Champion make appearances here and there on aw TV? Why is it that we can see Dustin Rhodes and Sammy Gavar wrestling for the titles on the fucking pay

per view on Sunday. Why is it that all these other Ring of Honor champions can freely make appearances on AW television, But unless there's a very specific tournament, this other woman, we never see her. One day. We'll know one day that story will will come out. If whose idea it is, it could be it could be a very simple explanation. I don't know whatever it is. I'm just flabbergasted by it. But there was definitely more juice left between those two. There was more gas in that tank.

And on a big stage like Texas, in a big stadium, you know, they'll probably have twenty five thousand people when all of a sudden done and they get to you know, game day, That's the way I would have gone with it. They opted to go a different way. As a segment. This was a fine start, which is all this was. This was an introduction. This segment was an introduction between these two women, the first time we've seen them formally,

you know, interact like this on TV. And they got all the pleasantries out of the way, and again the mutual admiration society stuff. You and I are a lot alike in our backgrounds, and you know, we both left somewhere else to go chase our dreams and they So we got all of that here, and now we move on to the heat phase, and what can we do here to really heat things up between these two women?

Maybe make this more of a personal rivalry. That's what I'm waiting to see now what these segments are going to look like over these next several weeks. But it's a big match, you know, there's no doubt about that. But I come back to this, I look at this as a no win situation. I look at it as a no win situation because let's game this out here. They go to Texas. The title is on the line, only Tony's title. Right, Tony Storm beats Mercedes Monette and

she hands Mercedes her very first loss. Now she doesn't win the TVs title, but the TBS champion has now been beaten. Right, the aura is is damaged. Like when the Undertaker streak was over, he was still the Undertaker, but you know he's no longer undefeated at WrestleMania. It's not the same. And in that case, like they went with Brock in that case, I remember how deviceive that was, like, oh, he doesn't need it, Why would you go with him. If you're gonna do it, do it with somebody else

who can get the rub. And I look at this and I go, if Tony Storm beats Mercedes after she's been undefeated at that point for fifteen months, what does she get out of it? What does she get out of it? Why does she need to be the one to beat Mercedes? So I look at it and go, this is Mercedes match to lose, like she's gonna win in Texas. And then if she wins, it's also a no win situation because now she's got all the titles. You're just feeding her titles. Seriously, It's like it's like

some sort of a gremlin after midnight. Don't feed the gremlins after midnight. And they just keep feeding her and feeding her, and they're feeding her all these championships. She got the owen Hart title now, and she's got her Rev Pro title, and she's got the TBS title. She had the new Japan Strong title, but now that's gone, but maybe she'll get it back. She'll go to Texas she wins. Okay, now what now? What? Now you have two women's titles on the same fuck. All of these

other women have nothing to fight for. That's where we are right now. You know, you see the notice qualification women's tag team match we had on the show. Megan Bain and Penelope Ford. They've been a team lately, Anna Jay and Harley Cameron. They've been a team lately. Why are we seeing this? Tony Kahan was asked about this in the days leading up to double or Nothing. Are we gonna see women's tag team titles in aw He didn't say no, It sure sounded like we're going to

be getting women's tag team titles soon. Of course we are, because these women have nothing to fight for. Mercedes has blown through everybody else in the division, even people who are not in the division. They brought somebody else from a different division and she beat her, and then that woman went back to the division. So she's just she's beating everybody. She's twenty seven and oh, by the time she gets to Texas, she'll probably be thirty thirty one,

thirty two and oh. But if she wins, I don't see what the endgame is here that's really gonna benefit the division or it's really gonna be like, who does this benefit? I'm failing to see who this benefits. That's why I say it to no win situation, no matter who wins this match, So like, why even do the match? Why do it now? Maybe there's a vision here that

I'm not seeing. Maybe there's some grand plan here where somebody else gets over in the process that first person, whoever it is, who beats Mercedes, and maybe they'll win the TBS title. But as long as you've got these two women locking up these two championships, like the TBS title should be that title that you know other people have the ability to fight for, because the Women's World title is otherwise occupied at the top of the card, and now you're just lumping the two of them together.

It's not a unification match, but I just it may as well be. If Mercedes is gonna win, it may as well be a unification match. No wonder they want to introduce women's tag team titles. I can actually understand why. At least they would have something to fight for right now they have nothing. As far as this show overall, I thought it was a solid show. Was not a very good show. It wasn't a terribly exciting show. It

fell off after the opening segment. They set the table for a couple of things, you know, as we march towards the stadium show in July. I really enjoyed the story they were telling though in that first segment. Everything else was very got some good wrestling, but okay, we get good wrestling every week, give me more. This was the beginning. This was the first show coming out of Double or Nothing, and now things will begin to ramp up for Texas. Now let's talk about next week. Actually,

let's talk about the next two weeks. Next week is fighter Fest. They're bringing back fighter Fest for the first time I think in a couple of years. Fighter Fest is a four hour special because Collision is being bumped because of NHL playoff coverage on TNT. So what Warner Brothers Discovery has decided to do here is do a little experimentation. Let's see what happens when we air Dynamite

and Collision back to back. And so for the next two weeks, not just next week, two weeks four hours of aw television from I assume eight pm to midnight Eastern time. Yeah, yeah, I don't know about that. So I'm trying to figure out what I'm going to do. Am I really gonna sit here for four fucking hours and watch AW from eight to twelve and then go live. No, I'm gonna watch Dynamite and then I'm gonna go live.

That's probably what we're gonna be doing here. We're gonna watch Dynamite from eight to ten, ten to fifteen, whatever it is, and then we'll go live. And now, of course, if Tony Kahan wants to be a pain in the ass, what he'll do is whatever the key matches are for the next two weeks, he'll just throw it at the end of collision and he'll make you sit through all

four hours just to get to the main event. What I hope he does is he just keeps dynamite to dynamite and collision to collision, and if he does that, then we can just cover dynamite in the normal time. If he doesn't do that, I'm probably still gonna be covering dynamite in the normal time. So if you're curious what the plan is going to be, that's the plan. I'm not sitting through four hours of AW for the next two week. There's no fucking way I'm doing that.

I'm telling you right now, there's no fucking way I'm doing that. So hopefully that four way next week is going to be within the first two hours of the night. And that four way that we're gonna be getting next week is going to be for the International Championship. Now, let's talk about Collision coming up this Saturday. First, on Collision this week, again we have Etchicero and Mascaraderata. That's going to be a qualifying match for the International four Way.

Next week, Claudio is going to take on Commander in the other qualifier, and we've already know We already know that Kenny Omega and Brody King have qualified, so those would be the four spots. Kenny Omega is not losing the International Championship, so this is all kind of pointless, but that's gonna be the big match next week. Also on Collision this Saturday, Mina Sheirakawa goes one on one with sky Blue and Rapunkie Weis and Kenoski Takeshta take

on Roderick Straw and Kyle O'Reilly and tombohiro Ishi. So that's coming up this weekend. Now you know the plan for the next two weeks, and then after that June eighteenth, they're in Arena Mexico. I'm actually looking forward to that. I think a live Dynamite from Arena Mexico is going to be pretty fucking cool. So I'm very very uh interested to see the atmosphere wise visually, what that looks like. That's that's truly history in the making. You know, that's

gonna be a first. So because they have no pay per views this month, they're trying to, you know, load up with these special shows. So that's why the next three weeks we have fighter Fest and Summer Blockbuster and Arena Mexico. And I wouldn't be surprised if they come up with one more after that, maybe Blood and Guts. Maybe that last Wednesday in the month is gonna be Blood and Guts. Take a look at the Twitter poll, what did you think of Dynamite after double or Nothing?

Forty one point eight percent thumbs up for tonight's show, fifty eight zero point two percent thumbs down. Who's Who Who? We got at number one right now on the leaderboard. I see the Winston slip is number two. He's got the silver, Who's got the gold? Groovy goose. If you were to put together an around the Horn type show from ESPN about wrestling, what for journalists would be regulars on it. Well I'm not a journalist, but uh shit, what about me? I think I would fit in well

on and around the Horn type show. Now you gotta have you gotta have Dave on there? Just come on? How entertaining would that be? Come on, gotta have gotta have Uncle Dave on there? No wrestling? What other wrestling journalists? I think John Pollock would be a good choice. Mike Johnson, Mike Johnson a PW insider, Maybe Sean from Fightful? Is that four? Or is that three? Do I even know? For I know some variation of that. I think that would work. Again, he used the word he us the

word journalists, So I'm being very specific. If you want to open that up to like content creators, that opens it up to any number of people, anybody with a microphone. Basically Joseph Stewart buy or sell Lufarigno as the Incredible Hulk or Toby McGuire as Spider Man. Well, you know, when it comes to Spider Man, I am a Toby McGuire guy, So I think I may have to go Toby on this one. Kevin says was triple h on

board with this WWE unreal show. Evidently he was, because if he really was not on board with it, then he wouldn't be doing it unless he has absolutely no say and no power whatsoever, and he's like a little lap dog and just does what he's told. I think deep down he really does hate this shit, and he probably did feel compelled to do it. But I'm sure you know he collaborated with them, and they made the decision as far as like what the show looks like. Okay,

we'll show this, but let's not show that. But you're pulling the curtain back so much. I mean, you're basically showing everything anyways. So Joseph says, rest in peace to Ed Gale, who played Chucky and Howard the Duck. I did hear about that. I did hear about it. I knew he played Chucky. I didn't know about Howard the Duck, who is the guy who played the Leprechaun Warwick Davis. Joseph says, how would WWE have looked in ninety eight if Hulk Hogan had returned to WWE that year, it

would have looked different. It's impossible to say how, but I think certain people who got over in ninety eight ninety nine would not have gotten over in ninety eight ninety nine at the level they did. I think eventually they would have guys like Austin and Rock. They were going to be big stars. No matter what. You drop Hogan in there. It's like pulling the pin out of

a grenade and rolling the grenade into the room. You know, it would have had a domino effect on a lot of different people and pushes and things that were going on. But I think in the end the key stars still

would have become the key stars for Vince. Jerome Ugenio says, all in for Monet versus Storm, it is the biggest women's match they could do, so, not denying that, Joseph says, looking back, now, do you think DDP should have been the one to get the push that Goldberg did in ninety eight by beating Hogan for the ww title in ninety eight, No, No, Goldberg got so incredibly white hot. I mean, you stick with Goldberg and you go with the hand that's handed to you. Fans told you this

is the guy we want to get behind. Why would you not want to push Goldberg? Goldberg at his peak was Goldberg at his peak was as over as Austin was, but it was just a much more limited period of time. You know, he burned out pretty quick from like the peak that he was at. Well when he was at his peak of popularity. Say what you want to about the guy in his in ring style, but he was fucking over David theoring with the twenty dollars super chat.

I understand botches happened from time to time, but that spot where Kyle Fletcher powerbombed Adam Cole into the apron, where Cole hit his head but not his body, was very disturbing. After fifteen months out that happens. Yeah, I mean it was very stupid. It was very fucking stupid. I think I said my piece on that. I think you and I are in agreement on that. David Hulkling ninety three, Tecla has a presence about her, but I couldn't help but feel Jamie looked like a geek for her.

The forearm came crashing down. It hurt inside. She didn't take a stand. She looked to hide. I don't think she was hiding. I think she just got knocked on her ass. She didn't know where she was. Mister team bring it one, two three, Who do you see returning to WWE, Rye Back or del Rio? None of the above, eminem with the new feature on YouTube. Bree should be the leader as far as aw as much as I like, mox versus Hangman, Timeless versus Monette should be the last match. Uh.

If Hangman is winning the championship, then absolutely not. If Hangman is not winning the championship. Maybe. I only say maybe because it would kind of I feel like it would give away the finish if it wasn't closing the show. But after all this time and the story they're building right now, Hangman goes in there. If he's gonna win that title, you close the show with that period. End of story. J C. Jane being the NXD Women's Champion, is she transitional or let it cook? There's nothing to

be cooked. The ingredients are stale. She is a transitional champion. Lone storm Trooper, thank you for the nineteen ninety two Duff's VIDs. Which way do I go? George? Which way do I go? Says John Moxley, telling you he came this close. He came this close from walking into that wall. He sold it like I knew what I was doing. I meant to do that, but like he was gonna walk into that wall. Surprised he didn't, then he would have been bleeding too, like everybody else on the show.

We had at least three different people bleeding tonight, Remoxley, that's just Wednesday, Markwan nineteen seventy six. Oh, what was your earliest wrestling memory? Mine was Dusty Rhoades getting jumped in the parking lot by the Four Horsemen. That's a pretty good memory. Mine was Ricky Steamboat his throat being crushed on the steel barricade by Randy Savage and him being carried out on a stretcher and me thinking that he was going to die because he couldn't breathe. That's

my earliest wrestling memory. Duffsvid's baby roach. What happens if they use raid? Papa roach? Popa roach? Suffocation, no breathing, don't give a fuck. If I cut my arm bleeding, that's what I see. I finished it for you. He almost broke me almost. That was pretty good. That's Dove's VIDs. Ladies and Gentlemen number one. Almost Sapien towards the goal. Thank you, almost Sapien. What do you call a fish with no eyes? A fish and he left the eye out of fish. Fsh Very clever, very clever, Thank you

almost Sapien Bender mc simpson. Great opening segment. Loved the callback to the Young Bucks promo. I think Penelope saw the blood on Harley's face and tried to be safe on the clothesline. Yeah, look, don't do the move or do a shoulder tackle. Dude, she didn't touch her. Don't do the move. Just don't do it. You may be right, maybe that's the reason why, but don't do it. If that's the case, improvise, come up with something else. Just have Megan Bain hit her finish Fate's descent, boom done.

It's not that hard. Dove's VIDs me. I think you're right, wife. I didn't say anything me. I'm just trying to save time. Spoken like a true married man. Leopoldo with the thirty with a tear in my eye, Wolves slip slip thunder Nick's face, do or die Mento's fresh as solo rolling He's trying to rhyme. That's what he's doing. With a tear in my eye, Wolves slip thunder fly Nick's face, do or die Mento's fresh as solo? Rollin' like Manolo, But who's more stale a E dub or the fed

TK books for his play TKO to get paid? Who wins out? Jury's still out? I am out? Oh my god, I don't know what I just read. But that was a lot of effort. Lee Leopoldo, thank you. It took me. It took me a little bit there at the beginning to realize what he was doing, so I had to go back and start it over again. EM and M. After the women's no I was it's trying to be nice. After the women's no d Q match. The ladies really need a mentos shout out to Rigid. Now I gotta

get It's not rigid, It's it's it's ridge. It's the ridge, not Rigid, says now, I gotta get a wallet. Now that Stephanie and Jordan are heading to the main roster, who does Obi? Who does Obie drop the title to so he can join raw Obi? Wan? Did? I? I mean, I thought I watched every segment on NXT when I went back to watch it this morning, but I didn't realize that Obi was on the NXT roster. Does he use his lightsaber during the matches? Wow, bes see that

caught me off guard. Thank you eminem ob Femi, Matt Fisher, thank you for the four ninety nine Uh no cap Hi solo does Uncle Dave deserve said tweet versus Rock. You know you make me very sad, no cap, because that means you didn't listen to the podcast this weekend, So you need to go back and change that. You need to go listen to sound Off episode? Guy, what episode? Am I even up to nine to fourteen? I've done so many of these fucking shows. Go back and listen

to episode nine fourteen, That's all I'll say. Ner. Guess who's a father of three? Now? Oh, look at that baby Ido was born? How about that? Congratulations? Mirror is a father of three, which just means one more sound Off in the family has expanded. Congrats my friend. All the best health and happiness. That is very cool news. Alvarro with the twenty dollars super chat. Adam Page becomes an aw champion It All Out, It All Out huh,

Darby and Page tag against the Hurt Syndicate. At World's end and the big reveal, Darby turns on Hangman out of jealousy that the fans are behind page Darby becomes a solo heel. I don't like Darby as a heel man. I don't like Darby as a heel. Darby's just he's a naturally likable, plucky underdog babyface. I think it would be a mistake. I think it would be a mistake to turn him eminem The twenty five dollars super chat here bremode has extended for another superchat. Now I need

a drink. One thing I missed last Friday when talking about Bray and Owen five years ago was the untimely passing of Hana Kamura. It was a sad story of what happened. It was it was, I talked about it at the time, and how senseless and unnecessary it was twenty years old, just gone, just like that. And for what? For what? Alex with a twenty five brother solo. A silly question, But when a magenta or red super chat pops up on the chat, does your vision ruin the

surprise or do you try to avoid seeing it? I see it if it pops up on screen. So the way I have things situated here, I normally don't see it unless I come in to check likes or something. Then I might I might see it, but usually I try not to so it's not in my peripheral vision, just based on the screen I have opened. But sometimes it's unavoidable. I do like seeing the bright red though I don't mind if it ends up poking out through my peripheral vision. That's fine with me. Emin M we are,

we are, we are the youth of a nation. David Theoring's second round to be the booker all around, that's right, shots for everyone become see clearly four hours solo. You got it for me because I'm good. I ain't got shit. I ain't sitting for four hours. I don't care if it's WWE or AW. It's one thing. If it's like a pay per view. Older pay per views are at least four hours. But yeah, two weeks of television, back to back shows like that. Yeah, you can fuck off

Duff's VIDs. I applied for a job hanging mirrors. It's something I can see myself doing. Alex says, between Vincent Hogan, who has the best chance to salvage their reputation? Is it even possible? No, what Vince is accused of is far worse than anything Hogan's ever done. But their reputations are permanently damaged. Nothing will change that. And they did it to themselves. I can't even feel sorry for them. They did it to themselves. Duff's VIDs. Man holding a

can of raid while at checkout? Is this good for wasps? The cashier? No, it kills them Duff's VIDs. What do you get when you cross a fish with an elephant swimming trunks? Not bad? Not bad? I like that one very much. A dad joke, but I like that Joseph Tko equals Vader, Triple H equals Lando. I really think Sina is playing a parody of a top heel at this time. Do you think Cross is on his way out much love? I don't know. I honestly don't know.

Let's see if he finds his way somehow into money in the bank, will they at least include him in a qualifying match for money in the bank? But I don't know. You know, when his contract is up? I mean there was a report out there about it, and it seems valid because I know he said on Ariel Helwani show that he was upset that that got out, so it made it sound like it was legitimate and what was the report? I think his contract is up in November maybe or something. I don't know. I don't know.

Julia Hart fan would be nine to ninety nine. Let's put over homegrown talent and give Julia Hart the win for the TBS title over Mercedes. Chris Willow Athena are fine, but not starmaking. Why not the best character aside from Storm Starmaker. I'll triple your nine ninety nine if Julia Hart is the one to win the TBS Championship and hand Mercedes her first loss. Also, you twenty three? You

twenty three? Who would you have the goat? Julia Hart, Sky Blue and Billy Starks or any three federal agents? What the hell's you? Twenty three? I'll go with the first one, but I don't know what that is. Blue Jay Hulk is the goat wrestled five hundred days in three hundred and sixty five days. Oh, he's very talented. Oh under twenty three? I thought that was some sort of like code name for some secret like hit squad

or something. You mentioned federal agents. I'm like, this is some kind of sniper unit, Like, what are you talking about? I think when I saw you write federal agents. It just threw me off you. Twenty three is at like agent forty seven, Like, what are we doing here under twenty three? Julia Hart, Sky Blue and Billy Starks. Oh no, I mean there are others I would put in that category. There are others right now NXT that are I think under twenty three. I think I don't know. I don't

have all their ages in front of me. Oh look at eminem five gifted memberships. Like it's an air horn. You get me some more members You get the horn, You mess with the bull, you get the herds. BCMC. Clearly a guy said Moxley is not a future AW Hall of Famer. Told him that I will make him bleed into a bucket and drink it and smile in my mugshot. Don't disrespect mox There is no AW Hall of Fame. Though we'll cross that bridge when we get to it. But there is no AW Hall of Fame.

The first AW Hall of Famer should be Sting never got beat, retired, undefeated, can't beat that. Julia Hartfann post start that again. Post podcast clips regularly on YouTube like you did in twenty fourteen. Got me through middle school two I already do, dude. Every single week, multiple clips go up on the channel, Trey two aw who should be in WWE? And two the other way? Oh, I don't know pick any two. I mean, there's so many talented people in AW right now, Mariah May is one.

I think that's where she exactly where she's gonna end up. So Maria May would be one. Uh you know, I was gonna say Takashta, but I I don't know if I have full faith honestly in Triple H to use him as well as Tony conn has used them. I'm not sure about that. I rescind that. But Mariah May would be one. If I had to pick one of the men's side, I think Kyle Fletcher would do really well. Yeah. And from the WWE side, mm well, Dragon Lee, Dragon Lee would probably have better luck here than he would

in WWE. Yeah. I want more to kesh to to brother Taqushta is great. Wardlow Randall says, Wardlow does he even wrestle anymore? I hear he's an accountant now, Leopoldo. As with jokes and rhymes, it's often in the delivery. But I'm just a wannabe rapper. Anyway, And I digress because speaking of delivery, congrats to Near, Yes, congrats to Near baby number three, emin M, thank you for the gifted memberships Duff's VIDs. What kind of cars do eggs drive?

A yolks wagon? What type of car do chickens drive? A coop? Okay, see the coop that works a yolks wagon. Hold on a second here, that was awful. That was awful. I don't like that one. The coop is okay, the yolks wagon, I get the flush. Aaron wasn't able to watch Dynamite tonight, So here's something off topic better ed O'Neill, roll, Al Bundy or j Pritchard. Oh, Al Bundy? How's that even a question? I think I can guess your answer already.

Oh yeah, yeah, I think you can. I think you can. Aaron, thank you for the ten Besides or Tis and Santana, what other tag team should have won the aw tag team titles? Who's, in your opinion, the biggest what if in wrestling? Oh? I don't know, Jesus Christ, these questions. My god, I don't know what the biggest what if in wrestling is. I'm not gonna say. In terms of talent.

I think the biggest what if in wrestling. I don't know if it's the biggest, but in terms of what IF's in wrestling, I think, have they, you know, gone through with their plans to do a proper WCW relaunch in two thousand and one, which was the original plan as opposed to the invasion storyline they did. How would that have looked? How long would they have committed to it? Could they have built to a big supercard? Was there a future for WCW as a separate brand under the

WWE umbrella? That's what if? I think of what if Montreal never had and Brett stuck around in terms of not only his career in WWE, but in terms of his health. Right big what if right there? I mean, there's any number of what what if Bruiser Brody had lived? You know? What do you have gone on to work a program with Hogan in WWE? You know, Jim Ross has told the story about being in the men's room back in the eighties and overhearing a conversation among promoters.

I think it was at the NWA convention of people who wanted to kill Vince McMahon. What if they would have done it. What if they would have whacked Vince? What would the business look like? M and M. Since you got Hog the same night as Money in the Bank, have you thought about doing a special live stream Sunday evening or do it on nine point fifteen? I mean, I've thought about it, but I don't think it's going to work out. So I gotta do a war. I got to try to catch World's coll at some point.

I don't know if I'll I don't know when I'll be able to watch that, but most likely it'll just be the usual podcast on Sunday and we'll save the Money in the Bank review for the podcast. That's the working plan right now, because I will not be here that's Saturday. So not only am I missing Money in the Bank, I'm missing worlds the World's Collide as well. But that's the way it goes sometimes. What are you

gonna do? Julia Hart fann as a punk fan who got out of wrestling in twenty fourteen and a listener on and off since twenty twelve, and you being the only one I pay for I will mark for Heart and Bliss Julia Hart and Alexa Bliss. There's a tag team like a dark tag team, a team with dark powers you can mark for whoever you want. Man, it's a free country becomes clearly. I'm a survivor of a GSW to the head, and I want to say this community is like family. Thank you, Solo and everybody. Depression

PTSD ain't no joke. Well I am. I'm glad that you're doing well now and you absolutely have a community here that welcomes you with open arms. You're always welcome here. We are very happy to have you. Rojo Beart just left the show. Had a great time. It's always fun to be at the shows. I didn't know Rohobert was an l Paso guy Avili with the thirteen. There was a question on Facebook a couple of weeks ago on

who TRIPLEA should have replaced on Team WWF. Who would he replace Angle, Kane, Jericho, Austin or Taker and would he most likely join the Alliance. I always figured that the spot that went to Kurt as the Mole would have gone to Triple H. We'll never know, so if that's the case, then it would have been it would have been Angle. Yeah, he got hurt. Boy. He was able to avoid that entire literally the entire invasion period. He missed the entire invasion period. Big Bill could be

WWE bound. I don't know what big Bill's contract status is. Who's to say would he be better off there? Probably it's a big guy, he can talk, talented. I think he would fare pretty well even get like an NXT run first. I could see him as an NXT champion, just you know, ripping it up in the division down there for six months or a year before they call him up to the main roster. All right, let's take a look at your likes total here. The likes total

is up at four hundred and sixty six. We hit our other goal as well, so we got we gotta get ready for two rounds. First, Oz and Glorious though our blue skull one of our resident blue skulls in the chat a little late tonight, but much love to become. See clearly this is a great community. Thanks for bringing us together, Sola Monster. I am I am proud of this community that we have built. Whether it's the Facebook group, whether it's here on the YouTube channel, it's all over

the place. Sound off is everywhere. But Aaron, my goodness, with the fifty dollars bomb coming in late here with all of the pls and pay per views and your hog obligations coming up. Just want to say how much you're appreciated. I usually listen to the podcast and streams throughout my work, but always enjoy showing some love on nights like this when I can pop in thank you solo, Aaron.

That means a lot to me, It really does. I know Aaron does pop in from time to time, and when he does, he usually makes it very well known, which I appreciate. But yes, there's a lot going on. I'm not getting a lot of sleep, which is not good, but that's on me. I have to figure out how to navigate that. So it's a lot of work, but I enjoy it you guys. As long as you guys enjoy it, I'll be here. It's what I do, It's

what I have a passion for. Hopefully that comes through and everything I do, even on those very late nights that we have sometimes where it gets very exhausting after all this wrestling, but I always have fun hanging out with you guys, and I very much appreciate the support. So Aaron, thank you. All Right, here we go, it is time, ladies, and gentlemen, without any further ado, let's get to it some time to be the Booker. Forgot, I put Forgot, I put him up there the learning Tree,

the Learning Tree, round number one. Yeah, we had a night of be the Booker. I don't know if it was. Was it Monday or maybe Sunday, Sunday or Monday? Where we we had it was literally like we had a clean sweep and then we had a clean sweep, but they were two very different sweeps, so we could do even better than that tonight. We have the team of Hulk Hogan and Edge, who yes, in two thousand and two they were tag team champions there for a few weeks.

Hogan and Edge, Edge with his childhood hero. He was sitting in the sky Dome at WrestleMania six rooting for hul Cogan when he lost to the Ultimate Warrior. Now the barbo was right, y, Oh my god, that's right, be the Booker the other night man. It went sadistic. If you miss that, you should have seen the stipulations that this thing was picking out. Oh my god, everything was barbed wire. Everybody was being ripped to shreds. Hulk Hogan and Edge against the Heart Foundation. How does that

get anything but a bell? Come on, see Brett Hart, get in there and start shooting on Hogan. This is for ninety three, bitch. We have Lana joining us in be the booker. Happy Lana Day. Yeah, Hikaru Shida against Lana. That's a note from me. Main event time, our first of two main events. Nick All, This, Nick All? This what's causing all this? All right? The SmackDown general manager is putting the boots back on. Nick All. This against Andrade is our main event. Let's move on, move on.

I'm not thrilled with what we just did. I hope we can do better in round two. Now we will pick stipulations. Now we will pick stipulations. I see the Winston slip is still number three on the leaderboard. Here in the chat firepaned number two. Who's number one? It's still maze all right, stipulation the oh no oh, no, no no oh. The Hulkster is here for the yap up pie strap match. Not just a strap match, it's

a yap up pie strap match. You're not aware of what that is, then count yourself as one of the lucky ones that you weren't watching WCW at that time. Can we do a we actually, we can't do a tag, right, because that doesn't really make sense. It has to be a women's all right, Well, we're gonna start with the women this time. We're gonna have a Yappa Pie strap women's match. What the fuck is yap Okay? So people want to know what that is? My understanding, it's actually

not Yappa Pie, believe it or not. It's Yava Pie, is the actual name. I think it's. I think it's an Indian tribe I believe, or it was, or it has roots in that and that's where it comes from. But it's actually I'm pretty sure it's actually Yava Pie if you look it up. But I think the way Hogan said it, everybody just assumed it was Yappa Pie and it sounds funnier that way. Mighty Molly, all right, So Mighty Molly is getting the strap and let's see

who else. Carmela also going to be attached to the strap against Mighty Molly in a Yappa Pie strap match. That don't work for me, brother, Nope, wrong button. We're not out there yet. I jumped the gun here in the main event, all right, So we have one match left. This is not going well. This has been a horrendous round of being the booker, and we can only salvage this. We can only salvage this. Oh wait, no, no, we have two matches left, right, I'm confused. I did the

women's first. Okay, I'm sorry. We have two more. Oh, look at this a stretcher match. Well, it's gonna have to be a tag team match somehow, because we're gonna have ourselves a tag team stretcher match. The only way to win is to put your opponent on the stretcher, both members of the opposing team on two different stretchers, and you have to push them beyond There's gonna be a line of demarcation on the ground, and you push them beyond that line and then you win the match.

That's the stipulation. It sounds horrible, right, I know this is still on the women. Would have been nice if we had Chris stat Lander in that last match. All right, So there's gonna be a tag team match. We have the Quebecers. We just landed on them the other day. They're back. Jacques and Pierre the Quebecers in a tag team stretcher match against the von Erics, Kevin and Carrie Van Eric against the Quebecers. I like that match. I like that match. I don't know why. I have no

idea why. I just do. I think they'll make it work. It's pcl A young PCO. Come on, manute, you know it's going to be at least at least good Now it's main event time. At least we got one. Even if we don't get the main event, at least we got one, a good old fashioned steel cage match. We just had one of these on Saturday Night's main event the other day the other day. And we'll see who ends up in the cage this time. Maybe Drew McIntyre, maybe Damian Priest or maybe this man Cota Ibushi. I

missed this Coda Ibushi. Put this guy in a cage though, And what's this guy gonna do? This should be interesting. Kota Ibushi against Ricky the Dragon Steamboats. Wow, Ricky Steamboat against Prime Coda Ibushi in a steel cage. First of all, you know, Coda is doing a moon salt off the top of the cage, maybe a phoenix splash off the top. He's gonna do something crazy off the top of the cage. Steamboat doesn't have to do that. All Steamboat has to do is just hit some arm drags, do some classic

Ricky steamboat stuff. That's all he needs to do. What a match? Javili with a thirteen dollars super chat worst heel in WWE in two thousand, Rakishi or the Godfather? Oh the Godfather? When he was the good Father? The Godfather? Absolutely? When should knockamor I have won the WWE Championship at SummerSlam twenty seventeen or WrestleMania twenty eighteen. WrestleMania shout out for Brisbane, Australia. Thanks for everything you do. Greatest of

all time, Thank you Ofgely. I hope I answered your questions. And also favorite version of the Heart Foundation. I'm not sure what you mean favorite version of the Heart Foundations. I mean there was the Heart Foundation. I mean it was just one tag team and then one faction. I love the faction and I love the tag Team, so I'm not sure, not sure what you mean, but I love the Heart Foundation in either form. B com see clearly Hikarashida versus Bailey, role Model versus Kindlestick, Okay, Blue Jay,

Ventura and Ross calling a new jack match. Imagine. Actually, I would rather have seen Ventura and Monsoon calling a new jack match now, that would have been something. Thank you, Blue Jay, thank you all you guys killed it tonight. Thank you for the support all of our leaders on the leaderboard. Take me to your leader. Let me see if I could see who is currently It is May's the great It is May's three hundred and seventy five XP.

Mays is going to be number one for the night, The Winston Slip number two, and fire Panda at number three with three hundred XP, Daddy Ugarte number four, and Marcus Robinson rounding out the top five. Those are our most active chatters Tonight Slash super Chatters. All of that. This is the first time we've done this is a new feature YouTube World Out. I did nothing, it was auto enabled. I like it. I dig it. I think it's fun. And we'll do it again on Friday again.

This all resets on Friday, so we'll do all that over again. I will be live after SmackDown. John Cena is back on SmackDown, and Cody Rhodes is back on SmackDown, and we have a money in the bank, at least one money in the Bank Qualifier, Nia, Jax, Naomi, and Jade Cargill. So it's actually a pretty big show on Friday night and should be a good way to close out the month of May live here on YouTube. So hopefully you guys will join me b com see clearly solo.

I'm high. I miss Kevin Knight well, I could tell from some of these super chats and I miss Kevin Knight well. Kevin Knight should be back very soon. He should be back from Japan in within the next week. I'm pretty sure the best of the Super Juniors wraps up June first or June second, so I would expect him back on TV as early as next week. Just got to hold out a little bit longer. Oh yes, that's right. Jacob Fatu Andrade and Carmelo Hayes also Money

in the Bank qualifier on Friday, so two qualifiers. Cody is back and Sina is back.
