This is your aw Dynamite review for Wednesday, July fifty two and twenty three. I am the Solomon, so I hope everybody celebrating had a very happy Fourth of July. But the holiday is behind us now we look ahead towards Blood and Guts coming up in a couple of weeks. That's on July nineteenth. Tonight, though, one of the words that comes to mind when it comes to this Dynamite show is story. It's a very story driven episode of
Dynamite tonight, which is good. Even if I don't necessarily like every story they're telling, that is a good thing. MJF and Adam Cole they kind of highlighted the storytelling on this show. MJF and Adam Cole. They did some bonding on the show because they were partners in the Blind Eliminator tag team tournament. We did not know up until a few hours before the show who their opponents were going to be, but it was almost who the opponents were
were a backdrop for all of the other shenanigans involving these two. We had a segment from the gym working out together. I didn't even realize today it was Adam Cole's birthday and when their match was over, MJF was celebrating his birthday. He got a cake for him. There were streamers. They're going all in and it's not gonna last forever. It's not gonna last for too long because we all know how this story ends. We all know where this
is going. But what they did tonight I thought was very entertaining. But again, when I say story, Kenny Omega made his return on Dynamite tonight for the first time since Forbidden Door, and they continue the story with him and Don Callis. We had a little not even gonna pull apart, but we had a little distraction that backfired on Callus. At the end of the show, that story is continuing. John Moxley and Eddie Kingston. We had
a video package talking about their history together and pushing that story along. Nick Wayne, eighteen year old Nick Wayne making his aw dowt of My debut. Next week we got a video package with Darby Allen talking about their history together. Story was the key theme of this show tonight with some good wrestling mixtan. Again, it was still hit or miss in certain segments. When the show was over, though, I was entertained. I thought it was a
good episode of Dynamite tonight. I didn't mention the Kenny Omega return, speaking of story that I'm I don't really care for. But at the very end of the show, the Dark Order coming back out to pull a steel chair out of the hands of hang Matt Adam Page, who was about to bash Claudio Castignoli's brains in with it. The Dark Order comes out to yank the chair out of his hand. I can't believe we were continuing with this Dark Order stuff. I thought maybe we were winding down, but apparently not.
Chris Jericho and Don Callis shared some time in the ring tonight. Why well, we'll talk about that. There could be something going on there between those two. It also couldn't mean the end of the Jericho Appreciation Society is near, which would be a welcome development. We had a couple of matches in
the blind Eliminator tournament tonight, including the MJF Adam Cole match. There was another one that actually was the high the in ring highlight of the night, my favorite match of the show, and we had a first round match I believe the final first round match of the women's Owen Heart Foundation Tournament. Britt Baker was sick last week. She was not medically cleared, so she was
in the ring tonight against Ruby Soho. And now we know what the semi finals look like and we will get into all of that here on your Dynamite review. But first, what I need you to do is hit the subscribe button. If you were brand new here, welcome to the channel. Good to have you, pull up a chair and enjoy the show. So the show opened with a quarterfinal match. Now, if there's one thing that Tony conn is very fond of, actually two things that Tony KNT is very fun,
actually three things that Tony knt is very fine. One is turning out the lights, another one is Battle Royals, and the other thing is tournament. So we have two tournament, actually three tournaments going on right now at the same time, two Owen Heart tournaments, one for the men, one for the women, and we have the blind eliminator tournaments, so blind that we're only finding out what the pairings are in random segments here and there.
You'll have a backstage interview segment and somebody will say, oh, we just heard that so and so is teaming up in the blind eliminator tournament. We don't have brackets, we don't have anything. We don't even know everybody who's in the tournament yet. Tony Conna loves his tournaments. We have three of them going on as we speak. This one, though, is a quarterfinal
match. It was Keith Lee and Swerve Strickland, former Tag Team champions turn enemies, now tag team partners again for tonight taking on the team of Orange Cassidy and Darby Allen. And this is how the show kicked off tonight. We got a moment to go cut to the back right from the get go. After the opening Piro and the announcers in moments ago, Renee was in the back, and Renee was in the back with Keith Lee and Darby Allen, and she said that Darby had requested this time to speak to us and
to speak to Keith Lee. He says, look, I know you don't want a team would Swerve tonight and you've been in a funk ever since you guys broke up. He told Keith Lee to pull his head out of his ass. This was his way, I guess, of trying to psyche this guy up and give him a pep talk although he was his opponent. I'm not sure why he would want to give a pep talk to his opponent, but that's what he was doing. So he told him to pull your head out of your ass and or you could just sit on the apron and cry
about it. And Darby said that we would see which Keith Lee shows up tonight. He walked off. Lee laughed and he looked at Renee and said, ballsy. Stupid, but ballsy. You know, thing occurred to me here as I was watching the entrances for this match, and hey, shout out to Bobby's world. You're just the gift of a membership. But something occurred to me. You know, they merged the Mogul Affiliates and the Embassy right the Embassy from Ring of Honor. They merged them into one, and
now they went from being individual groups to being the Mogul Embassy. But we have not seen swerves, Henchman since the Mogul Affiliates was formed. And in fact, it was this past week that we found out that trench. And I know some of you are going to be like, what's trench. It's not what's trench, it's who's trench? Trench is the one that had the tattoos all over his body. I think he had the grill in his mouth. They did the whole injury angle where they were Keighley was being held.
Swerve came off the top and he stopped the cinder block on Keighley. We didn't see Keithley for like six weeks after. So Trench and Parker Boudreau or whatever the hell they were calling him have not been seen in weeks and weeks and weeks right probably months at this point. We found out this week that Trench is contracted lapsed. They allowed his contract to expire, so Trench is no longer in the trench. He is gone from aw. Parker Boudreau is
still on the roster. I believe he's been out with an injury, so he may well re emerge as part of this at some point. But basically what we ended up with is Swerve Strickland becoming the leader of the embassy. There really is no There really was no merger. There was nothing to merge, so he basically just you know, gave up his crew and said, oh, I'm going to be the leader now of the embassy. That's just
kind of how it worked out. So early on in the match, we got to see what got Keithley over in the first place, from the very first match that he had. Remember the match he had on Dynamite when Keithley first showed up. He had that match with Isaiah Cassidy of Private Party, and he bailed him into Orbit. He bailed him into the next universe. That's what he did here to Darby Allen. He bailed this man about three quarters of the way across the ring. Darby did a flip, he almost
landed on his feet, and of course the crowd ate it up. What we saw here in this match is what got keith Lee over in the first place, which is him going in there with guys smaller than himself and throwing them around the ring, which is fun to watch, right, That's what got him over in the first place. Somewhere along the way they got away from that, he changed his look. He was only showing up on Rampage. He was partnering up with Dustin Rhodes. It's like they didn't know what
they were doing with this guy. This is the Keighley that we saw when he first showed up in aw and he looked like he was in there having fun, Swerve whipped Darby into the corner, which caused Darby to tumble over to the floor that was heading into the first picture and picture break. There was a tower of doom spot with Keighley on the bottom while Swerves superplexed Darby.
That looked really cool and of course the crowd they were in Edmonton tonight, a very loud crowd here in Canada, they loved that spot too. That was a very cool visual that we got. Lee put Cassidy in a bear hug while Swerve and Prince Nana were placing the ring steps on top of
Darby. So Darby's on the floor outside the ring and they take the top portion of the ring steps and they put them on top of Darby and his ribs, right, you know, I mean, he's kind of selling it like the steps are so heavy he can't move them, but they're basically holding the steps on top of him and they've trapped him underneath the steps. Orange. Cassidy wanted to go free Darby, but he spotted Keith Lee. He
went for an orange punch. Lee blocked it with his hand. Cassidy put Lee in a sleeper hole while he was on his back So at this point they were outside the ring and with Orange cass on his back, Keithley begins to climb up the ring steps, the same ring steps that Darby Allen was trapped underneath, so he's being crushed by the weight of both of these men. As keith Lee gets back into the ring, he dumps Orange Cassidy into
the ring. Inside keith Lee. He stuffed a few attempted stunt doug millionaires that Orange Cassidy went for. Finally he was able to hit the move. Darby eventually returned. He put keith Lee down with a Code red. Orange Cassidy went for the cover. Swerve tried to break it up with a four fifty splash. Didn't really work out unfortunately for keith Lee. Cassidy moved and Swerve landed on his partner and the fans chanted you fucked up. Swerve didn't
seem too bothered by this. In fact, he had a big smile on his face. Swerve hoisted up Orange Cassidy. He passed them off to keith Lee and Swerve went for a kick that was meant for Cassidy, but Cassidy moved out of the way and I'll give you one guess what happened next. Of course, he kicked keith Lee in the head. That was the second miscommunication of the match. Now, the announcers talked about this being intentional.
Clearly it was not intentional, not that Swerve minded, but again it was another accident blew up in their face and the announcers at this point, so actually, let me let me this is where things and I like this match. I had a lot of fun watching this match. But there was something that happened at the end of this match that you know, if you watch these shows on a weekly basis and you see how these referees or portrayed on
television, this should come as no surprise. So ours Cassidy leaped off the top rope and he put Swerve down with a DDT coming off the top. Then he dives quickly outside. He doesn't dive through the ropes onto Keithley, but he executes a tornado DDT in the process. So he ddts Keighley on the floor outside in the ring dark. He used the last supper to pin Swerve to win the match for his team. The only problem is that Keith Lee was the legal man, not Swerve. In fact, it was not
even sixty seconds earlier. You can audibly hear referee Paul Turner say Keith Lee's legal. He said that the referee himself. I don't even know who he was talking to. I don't know if he was talking to Keith to remind him that he was the legal man. Whoever it was that he was talking to. You could you could hear him say Keith Lee's legal, and he's not talking about carting him at a fucking bar. Okay, he was the legal man in the match. That did not stop him though, thirty seconds
later from counting the pin on swerve. And look, I get I get it. The referee is not going to fuck up the finish of the match and screw over the wrestlers involved by being a stickler and saying, oh no, no, wait, you got you gotta change the whole finish of the
match here because this guy's legal and this guy's not. It puts the referee in an impossible position here because the referee is clearly acknowledging he's trying to call it like a real match, and he's clearly acknowledging who the legal person is. And these guys either don't give a shit or they lose track of things and it doesn't matter and they just have their finish and they get to the finish. But what ends up happening is it makes the referees look completely incompetent.
And we see this time and time again in wrestling, yes, but in aw more than any other company. Their referees are made to look like a bunch of incompetent fools. And that was the case here at the end of this match, which was unfortunate because I enjoyed the match. This match was a lot of fun. This was the best match on the entire show. I had fun with it. Maybe I didn't have as much fun with it as Keith Lee looked like he was having. He had a big smile
on his face. In fact, when the match was over, even though Keith Lee's team lost, they showed him standing outside the ring. He had big smile on his face. He was looking up at Darby Allen, remember who gave him that pep talk before they came out for their match, and he put his big bear paw out for a fist bump. Darby gave him a fist bump. Orange Cassidy came over. He gave it Will not really
a fist bump. He gave Orange Cassidy like a hand bump, and it was, I guess, almost a situation where Darby sort of woke the sleeping giant within, I guess. But Keith Lee didn't seem too bothered by the fact that he lost this match. And so now I may be the fool for asking this question, but might we finally get the singles match that we never got between Keith Lee and Swerve Strickland? Are they Are they waiting for Wembley? Is that what they're waiting for? They're holding off for Wembley?
I don't know, I don't know. All I know is that it feels like these guys have been feuding for about a year and we still haven't gotten that one big match between them. But maybe after this they'll finally start building towards it. I don't know, but I enjoyed the opener. I thought it was a lot of fun. Now after this, we got a video
package, we got more Darby on this show. Got a video package with Darby Allen and he was talking about training as a as a youngster to become a professional wrestler and the man that he trained with the person that he trained with was Buddy Wayne. Buddy Wayne was a very well known name on the in the ind scene, but really in the Pacific Northwest I think more than
anything else. Yeah, I knew Buddy Wayne when he used to make appearances on some of the audio shows on the Observer Side with Brian Alvarez Back of the day, and the guy was he was a total character, I know, wwe you know. Sometimes they'd bring him in for extra work, and he'd bring in some students for extra work. And he passed away a number of years ago, about six or seven years ago now, and Darby talked about it here in this segment. He talked about in twenty seventeen getting a
text message. He was in his car and he got a text message about Buddy passing away. Apparently his heart just gave out, you know. And he wasn't that old though. I want to say maybe he was early early to mid fifties. Maybe he wasn't you know, he wasn't an old man. But his heart gave out and he started punching the window and punching the
steering wheel on the seat. He was so angry, and he said the first thing he thought about was Buddy's son, Nick, and he made a pact at that point that he was going to look out for him and watch over him. He said he hasn't Nick didn't really need it, but he wanted to make sure that he kind of looked after him because when he used to train, Nick was around. Nick was a little kid, but Nick was around, so he knew him. He was almost like a little brother
to him. So then we got some footage from a Defied wrestling event. This was a couple of years ago. Nick Wayne was in the ring and Darby Allen showed up as a surprise, and he surprised him with an aw contract. This was this was a story at the time that had happened, and he would not officially join AAW until he turned eighteen years old. But even back then he was looked at his such a young prodigy that he was presented with a contract and would have to wait a couple of years to officially
become part of the roster. It's kind of like negative one Brodie Lee Jr. Right once he turns eighteen, he'll be on that roster too. Although he's a little bit he's quite a bit younger than Nick Wayne was, but Nick Wayne just turned eighteen years old, which means that Nick Wayne is now officially a member of the AW roster. And Darby says that, you know, he asked the question is he ready? He thinks so, but he says it's up to him now to show the world. And like I said,
Nick Wayne has been called a prodigy. I've seen Jackie Fowler activating Brie Mode talking about prodigies, the prodigy that his briebellage has made an appearance here on my ring. Like I said, I've seen some of his work. He's definitely talented. You know, he's got talent, but he's very young, very up and the things that he can do at his age, again he's only eighteen years old, is very impressive. But he is still a very young man. And I don't expect him to be a big thing soon.
I mean, in fact, I can easily see him spending most of his time on rampage and building his name because really there's only so many spots on the main shows to go around, and this company has a surplus of talent. And all due respect to Nick Wayne, he is not the best of the best in AW. He'll have to work his way up the ladder like anybody else. Now, what could work to his advantage though, is
if Darby were to take him under his wing. I mean, it certainly seems like maybe that's a direction they're going in, you know, doing this segment here with Darby, which I thought was good. It gave some good background on him instead of just throwing him on television. Now we have the personal element. We know his personal story, so that was good. Maybe Darby I'll take him under his wing. If he gets some rub from Darby Allen. That's not a bad spot for him to be in. But I
like how they're they're having Darby endorse him. You know, Darby is well liked. Darby is one of the biggest baby faces they have on the roster, and here he is endorsing this kid before he's even made his television debut and giving him the Darby Allen's stamp of approval, so to speak. Now, next week he's gonna make his debut here. I thought they were going to maybe do a few weeks of vignette, so we got one vignette already.
He's making his debut next Wednesday. He's wrestling Swerve Strickland Swerve has taken a lot of losses recently. He took another one tonight on this show. And now I'm looking at this and I'm going, is he gonna lose again? He shouldn't. He shouldn't be going in there and losing to Nick Wayne. Then you're beating this kid in his debut. Not the end of the world, but of all the people to put him in the ring with, I mean, looks Swerve will give him a gray match. Swerve and Nick
Wayne sounds like a fantastic match. But of the people in this match, normally, I wouldn't say it's a good thing for the person in their debut to lose Swerved. He should not be losing this match. He's taken more losses than he should recently, So that's it's kind of a kind of a tough spot there. But anyway, that's coming up on the show next week. That Tony Shivani was in the parking lot and he was awaiting the arrival I should say of Jungle Boy Jack Perry, who was pulling up in his
suv. He gets out of the suv says that what happened last week to him when hooked they showed the replay of Hook chasing him through the arena through the backstage area, he did that sweet smooth dive into the backseat of the getaway car and sped off. So he said that what happened last week was ridiculous, and he said he's not some thug from New York. He wanted to do business in the ring. He said he was going to go to
Tony Knn's office right now to demand an FTW title match. And as soon as he said that, Hook shows up, Hook starts beating him up, and Jack gets back in the suv, tells the driver to pull away, and that was it. That was the last we saw from Jungle Boy all night. This was a very lame follow up to the segment from last week, you know, and I understand they're not going to give the match away just yet, and so there's only so many things you can do until you
get to the point where you are ready to actually have that match. But I enjoyed the promo that he cut last week, his first heel promo. I thought he did a good job. I thought the getaway was very amusing. This was just this felt to me like, all right, we got to get this guy on the show. So let's just get him on the show in the u kist lamest possible way, because we just have to get to the next We have to get to the next show, and we'll figure
out what we're gonna do with him next week. So I was looking forward to the follow up. We didn't get much follow up, so that sucked. Now we had footage. This did not suck. This is actually one of the better segments of the show. This is a prerecorded segment from earlier in the I guess it was earlier in the day. MJF was standing outside of a gym somewhere and he said that he had been waiting for Adam Cole
to arrive. He didn't know where he was. All of a sudden, Adam Cole opens the door to the gym and he says to Max, look, I've been doing cardio for an hour. Where have you been? Come on, let's go. So he goes back into the gym. MJF looks at him. He's wondering, you know, where's the shirt that I gave you? Where's the better than you Babe's shirt. Col just looked at him and went back into the gym. So MJF started a bench press set. Ask Cole if he would spot him. He said, sure, no problem.
MJF starts doing the bench press. Adam Cole pulls out his phone. He's texting someone. Maybe he's sexting Britt Baker. I don't know. I could just picture it. You know. This guy's doing a bench press set, right, however much weight he was doing. Adam Cole is supposed to be spotting him. He's texting his girlfriend. Meanwhile, his girlfriend probably has somebody in the dentist's chair right. Their mouth is all open, fucking blood
pouring out all over the place. She's texting her boyfriend. Ridiculous. So m JF finishes his set and then he looks over and he spots a morbidly obese man who is trying to lose some weight. He's doing some exercise, right, God bless this guy. He's I don't know what he was doing, but he was. He was doing some form of physical activity, which
is good here here at this gym. And he tells Adam Cole a fat joke at this man's space said that though when the man takes his clothes to the laundromat, they tell him, sorry, we don't do curtains, and he thought that was pretty funny. You went to go tell another joke. Adam Cole said, look, you can't say things like that anymore. He goes in, it's not funny because you can't do that. But Cole couldn't help but ask m JF if that guy reminds him of somebody? And then
simultaneously, at the same time, they both have the same answer. They both said Tony Shivanni and MJF starts laughing, and Cole all of a sudden, he gets and it was brief, but he gets this look on his face, like this realization in this moment that wait a minute, are we actually bonding here? That's how I interpreted the look. He had, this like concerned look that washed over his face all of a sudden, like he realized, wait a minute, we becoming Are we becoming bros? Are we
becoming friends here? So then it was Adam Cole's turn to bench press insert you're a joke here here. I'm sure there were a lot of people very amused by this who have made comments about Adam Cole's physique and his lack of one, and his lack of muscle tone on his body, m JF has made fun of it. He's brought that up in fucking promos on TV, so it's fair game now to talk about it. So he said, you know you want you want to do this, you want to take some weight
off. He goes, no, leave it, it's fine. So he asked him, do you want me to spot you? And Cole goes, yeah, whatever. So he lays down on the bench and he begins to do the bench press and he's lifting the weight, no problem he did. I don't know if he did the same number of reps that MJF did. He may have done more. Puts the weight back on the rack and the segment ends. MJF is baffled by this, baffled by the amount of weight that Adam Cole was able to bench press, and that's how the segment it.
I thought this was great. I thought this was great. This was a very entertaining segment. I like it when they do stuff like this. MJF is obviously very good at this, but honestly, the chemistry these two have had with some of the stuff they've done recently, and I don't know how many of you have seen the twitch clips Adam Cole has his Twitch channel. He's always gaming hanging out with his fans on there. MJF called in
and was interrupting his stream asking wrestling questions. Hey, how about we do this in our match and that, and Cole you know how to stop him and say, Max, look, you know we don't talk wrestling on this channel. I thought I told you that. Oh yeah, yeah, but I got this great move that we can do. So like they were thinking of stuff to do off camera, like during the week, and I thought
that was fun. But this was also a very entertaining here. So then we had the Acclaimed and Billy Gunn against The Blade and the Bollywood Boys. I thought I was watching Rampage. Actually I thought I was watching Dark and then I realized Dark is no more. I thought I was watching Rampage here. The Blade did not have the Butcher with him as his partner because the Butcher was selected in the blind eliminator tournament to tag with Matt Menard later in
the show. So that's why the Blade was teamed up here with the Bollywood Boys. And the Bollywood Boys are very good, but I don't really have much to say about them or this match because we barely got to see any of it because more than half the match happened in picture and pictures, so not a whole lot to say. Anthony Bowens made the hot tag hit a famous before Billy Gunn jumped in hit the one and only on one of the Bollywood Boys, and then Max max Caster say Catster max Caster cap things off
with a mic drop off the top row for the win. After the match, Harley Cameron, who was the woman who was part of the QT Marshall crew. She's part of these q QTV segments they're still doing. She pops up on the big screen. She's upset at the acclaimed and Billy Gunn. There's been some ongoing storyline on Friday Nights that I just haven't paid much attention to. But she was upset that they ruined her singing a few weeks ago
on Rampage. I'm so sorry I missed that. She said that next week she's going to have a video to show them and I guess to show the world. Billy Gunn took the microphone. He said that he had two words for her. Of course those two words were suck it. There you go. It was waiting for Adam Cole to come back out and tell Billy Gunn you can't do that no more. He can't do that. It's not acceptable anymore. Bobby's World is gifted a channel membership to Lance Dominguez, so congratulations
to Lance. We got highlights of Eddie Kingston winning his very first championship in New Japan. This took place earlier. He won the New Japan Strong open Weight title against Kenta, which was a dream of hit Well first of all, I mean it was his dream to actually go and wrestle in Japan, which he got to do for the very first time this week. Of course, he's going to be part of the g One that kicks off at the end of next week. That's another thing he can cross off his bucket list.
And now he wins his first championship over there, so Eddie Kingston is he's living his best life right now over in Japan. So we got highlights of the end of the match and him winning the title and Homicide was there. So Homicide came and was hugging him after the match outside the ring and celebrating with him. We then cut to a video of John Moxley talking about the history that he has with Eddie Kingston. He said, through good times and bad, both of us made it out, and he questioned why Eddie
walks around so angry. He said they should make everyday count instead of complaining about the new generation having no respect. Moxley said that Kingston should let the past be the past, and he told Kingston, hey, answer your phone. So I'm thinking, you know Eddie won the champion ship and I'm thinking we have all out right coming up from Wembley. We know there's going to
be talent. Tony Cohn is basically hinted. I don't know if he's outright said it, but there will be talent from other promotions, international talent on the show, probably some New Japan talent, I'm sure. Might we see Eddie Kingston defending that strong open Way title against John Moxley, and if not John Moxley, it might be against Claudio right, he has this visceral hatred
for Claudio. It could very well be against him. But I could see him defending that championship at Wembley to give him a big match on that show. I'll be honest with you, I'm surprised that Eddie Kingston won a title in New Japan. Before he won a title in AW because Eddie Kingston can disappear for months on end. He can appear on Rampage for months and never on Dynamite and then show back up and just like that, the fans are into him. The fans are all over him. Fans love Eddie Kingston.
He's over he's likable, and they would definitely get behind an Eddie Kingston, you know, TMT title run or if they wanted to tell the story of Eddie Kingston going after MJF for the AW World Championship. Right, he might not win it, but boy, you know, I'm sure the fans would be invested in that story and the promos between them would be fucking fantastic. So as you look ahead and you start to wonder about other potential challengers for
MJF. After the Adam Cole's story runs its course, you still have the whole CM Punk thing and are they going to wrestle again at some point to you know, determine who the real champion is. There's the eventual match they come back to MJF and Darby. You know, I want to put Wardlow on the list. It's kind of sad because I just I don't see it. It's going to take some major rehab to get him back up to that level where I could say okay to see MJF and Wardlow, But that's another
potential name. MJF and Ricky starts. Put Eddie Kingston on that list, even if it's just a one off match, because just just the build up to that match, and I think the emotional investment that a lot of the AW fans have in Eddie Kingston would make for a very fun chase. It would make for a very fun chase for him to go after MJF and try to win the AW World title. But you know, again, he won. He won a title in New Japan before he won won an AW.
So who knew Renee was backstage? She was backstage with RJ City. They had the tumbler back there. They had Matt Hardy with them. He was waiting to find out his partner in the blind Eliminator tournament on Rampage an MJF or not MJF, RJ My my acronyms mixed up here. RJ City said that it's Jeff and then Matt said, I mean Jeff as in my brother Jeff, and he goes, no, I mean Jeff as in Jeff Jerry. Matt Hardy was not very happy about that, and he walked off.
Chris Jericho was out to the ring next, all by himself. He was out to judas much to the delight of the crowd here in Edmonton. Of course, he's a Canadian boy. Jericho has history in Edmonton. Although he was he was raised in Winnipeg. I know that he was born. He was born in New York, fucking a long island, but he grew up in Winnipeg. But they loved him here in Edmonton. He got on he gets on the microphone and he says that he notices the audience is loud here
tonight. He's playing it up like like a baby face. He says, it's a little bittersweet for him to be here because over the last few months he's had a lot of big losses to his name because things have not been going on the way that he wanted them to go. So maybe it's time too. And I thought he was going to say retire. There are some places where if he was to make that announcement, he would get loud cheers. But he didn't say he was going to retire. He said it might
be timept to reevaluate and just make some changes. He said. Alberta is the perfect place to do so because it is where he started his pro wrestling career. And it seems like only yesterday that he began his training in Calgary with Stuhart and the crowd began chanting Stu, and Jericho thought they were booing him. So he actually stopped and said, are you actually booing Stuhart? And the reality is he wasn't booing Stuhart, or they weren't booing Stuhart,
but he was obviously mishearing them. So and I think even Tony Shavanni on commentary made the comment and said, now they're chanting Stu. So he's said that he had his first match an hour from here, said, I got here a few days early, and he was driving back through all of the old communities, including what sounded like, I'm just gonna say it, it sounded like Ballsack. Okay, now I'm sure that's not what it's called, but it sounded like he was driving. He was driving through ball Sack,
which is which is quite the journey. And then he remembered as he was going through all of these places and down all these roads that he remembers from early in his career. It just it reinvigorated his fire and his passion for the wrestling business and made him remember all that wrestling meant to him. It reinvigorated him, and he said, it's time to become a new Chris Jericho, maybe the best version of Chris Jericho ever. So then he's interrupted by
Don Callis. Don Callis comes down to the ring. Crowd obviously is all over him. We get a fuck you callous chant from the crowd. Callis says that he thinks what he's hearing is that Jericho needs a change. Very good, done, very good. I wonder what led you to that conclusion. Perhaps it was the fact that Jericho just said he is in need of a change, so he heard what Jericho had. Ok It's called ball Zach with a z okay, so when you say it out loud, it really
does sound like Balzac. That's amazing. Shout out to ball Zach. I didn't know there was such a place up in Canada. You'll learn something new, You'll learn something new every day. I would love to know the population in Ballzach. Somebody looked that up on Wikipedia. What is the population of Baalzac. I would like to know. Callis says it was six years ago today that he called Jericho from Tokyo and he proposed his match with Kenny Omega
at the Tokyo Dome. He says Jericho surprised him and said, oh yeah, and that they changed the course of wrestling history because without that match, none of these people would be here. And Tony conn has talked about this before, that the Jericho Omega MATCHIC Wrestle Kingdom that year I think it was twenty eighteen, is really we kind of planted the germ in his head of what eventually would become aw So it was a very important match in the course
of wrestling history. If you really look back on it, it will end up being a very important match historically in the business. So Jericho said, look, it's hard to hear Don with all the booze, but he can say the same thing about Don. He goes in twenty fifteen he was out of wrestling. Don was and he was in the middle of his other career. But Jericho knew that he was miserable and he wanted to get back into the business. Jericho got Callous into a ew and he's more successful than others,
so in fact, Don might not be here without him. So Callous mentioned being betrayed by that cowardly punk Kenny Omega. So he's had to make a new family, which will be built on trust. When he thinks about trust, he thinks about the greatest of all time and his best friend of thirty four years, Chris Jericho. So Jericho is ready to change history once again. He's here to formally ask him to join the Don Callous family, and the fans booed. Jericho asked, callis, are you seriously asking me
to join the Don Callous faction? And Jericho says that I don't join factions. I create them. So if Don is seriously asking him to join, he's got a one word answer for him, and that answer is maybe. And Jericho left at that point. Let me just say that I am all for a change with Jericho. I don't know if that's a baby face turn.
I like the idea of him and Callous doing something together, whether it's Callous not that Jericho needs a manager, but you know, did see him Punk need a manager when Paul Hayman was with him, right, It's does Roman reigns need a manager. No, But the two of them together have just become inseparable. Right. It's just it's better with the two of them together. Right. You could say that about Paul Hayman and almost anybody. I'm not saying that Paul. You know, Don Callous is Paul Hayman.
What I'm saying is the idea of Jericho and Callous is a combo intrigues me, and I think that could work, or Jericho aligning with him into Keshta and his guys, as long as it's not a Jericho faction, it doesn't just turn into another Jericho faction. I'm intrigued by that idea. And also I'm just in favor of anything that's going to wind down the whole Jericho Appreciation Society the stuff, because it's like what happened with the Inner Circle at the
end. It just there was no real end for the Inner Circle. It just sort of went on for too long and it just petered out there at the end. And that's what we're seeing now with the Jericho Appreciation Society. It feels the same way, like it's just overstayed. It's welcome, which is why I can appreciate what WWE has been doing for so long with the Bloodline because they keep finding waste to make that story interesting, and it's the
best story in the entire company that they're telling right now. But I hope in the future it's the same thing where they don't run the Bloodline stuff into the ground, where it's just, you know, you kind of ring that sponge out and until it's bone dry and there's nothing left. The nWo in WCW. You know, when you have a story or you have a faction so many times before they don't know how to end it. And you know,
the Jericho Appreciation Society stuff. There's so many people and so many names in the group, and then Sammy was a baby face heading into double or nothing, and I wasn't sure if he was still even part of the group. Apparently he is. It's ridiculous. So anything that will help wind that down, I'm all in favor of now. Earlier in the show, and I did not mention this earlier on purpose because I wanted to save it for
this point. But earlier in the show, they showed a graphic for the upcoming Blood and Guts match that I mentioned is coming up on July nineteen. It's going to be the Elite against the Blackpool Combat Club. And I said last week, you know, with Brian Danielson being injured and Eddie Kingston being overseas in the g one and not available, they may as well just make it four on four. You have the Blackpool Combat Club with Takeshta against the
Elite. Kenny Omega will make his return and you'll do four on four, and you could always save Koda Aboushi for some other time if people want to Boostie so badly. I mean, he'll be in. It's just a matter of win. Well, we got our answer this week about whether or not they're going to be doing four on four. They're not going to be doing
four on four. Ex Caliber made it very clear that it's going to be five on five as it usually is in the Blood and Guts match in a couple of weeks, and each team is going to have a fifth slot to fill between now and then. So at the end of this Jericho segment of thought occurred to me and it may have occurred to some of you as well. I don't know what ultimately Jericho's answer is going to be, what his final answer is going to be to Don Callis's offer, but we know the
two of them were friends. We know Jericho might want to do a favor for Don, even if he doesn't officially join his family. We could very well be looking at Chris Jericho linking up with the Blackpool Combat Club for one night only, a blood and guts and then on the opposing side, the
elite needs that fifth man. If it's not going to be a bushy, it ends up being Sting, and we get Sting on one side and we get Jericho on the other, and that scares the shit out of me because of what we saw last week, what I just got done talking about about Sting and the risks he's been taking, and the dive off the ladder last week, and now the mere thought possibility of Sting being involved in a blood and guts match with thumb tacks and barbed wire and probably more ladders and god
knows what else scares the ever loving shit out of me. So I don't know that I'm on board with that, and maybe I'm way off and they're not doing this, but it just struck me that it would be a way to fill the spots on both sides. Very easily, because you know, the issue with Jericho and Sting is not open, So Jericho could end up on the heel side, Sting could end up on the baby face side.
I think it's very possible. Hey, you know, look, Bliss fan, You know, I don't know if you're being if you're joking or not, but yeah, I could definitely see see staying on top of the cage, because they've gone on top of the cage. We've seen people come off the top of the cage before Jericho himself got shoved off the top of the cage by m JF. Is that the next step is that the next kind of level to this is staying on top of the blood and guts cage doing
some fucking crazy gimmick to dive onto some sort of platform down below. Is he just is he just hell bent on fucking ending it? Is that what's gonna happen? I sure hope not stay in Jericho, though I could definitely see that being the case. We got a video package to promote the CM Punk Samoa Joe semifinal match in the owen Hart Tournament coming up on Collision this coming Saturday. Punk said that he's gonna beat Joe for the first time.
They spliced in some footage from their previous Ring of Honor matches. Punk said that whatever is left of him will continue on and he'll win the Owen. Tell me what I'm telling lies. Collision is a pretty loaded lineup. They've got a bunch of tournament matches on Saturday. They have Willow against Athena, they have Punk against Joe, they have Starks and Hobbs is also taking place on Saturday. I think they've announced another match. I don't remember offhand exactly
what the match is. The ratings don't reflect it, but I've enjoyed Collisions so far, and I am looking forward to this week's episode even again, if the ratings certainly tell a very different story so far. We'll talk more about the Collision ratings on Sunday, because they are not good and we haven't even started college football season yet. You think these numbers are bad, you
wait until then. You wait until then and see what happens. So Renee was backstage and she was with Roderick Strong who was in a neck brace, and he was with Doc Samson. Strong said that he felt amazing after the good doctor spoke of being cautious and taking things easy. Adam Cole showed up. He asked Roddy how he was feeling, and strong asked Cole, what's the deal with you and MJF. Cole said that he made it very clear to Max that he has his boundaries. He then got a text message from
MJF asking if he was ready to do a double clothesline. MJF really wanted to do a double clothesline spot in their match, and this led to the tag team eliminator match. MJF and Adam Cole tag team partners for the very first time, taking on Daddy Magic, Matt Minard and the Butcher, the team that I'll bet you never knew that you needed, but we got it on the show tonight. That's the first team in this entire fucking tournament that
actually feels like a blind tag team. Matt Minard and the Butcher MJF did the Adam Cole poses during their entrance. As the Butcher and Art attack them from behind, Minard fired off some four arms. MJF started no selling. He was slapping Menard in the face, got an abdominal stretch applied and as he's got the abdominal stretch applied. He's looking over at Adam Cole and he's begging for it, right, He's begging, he's begging for the assist.
And Adam Cole's a baby face now, right, he's not a heel anymore, so he doesn't want a cheat. But finally he relents and he reaches and he grabs Max's arm and the fans are cheering this. They're cheering. They're cheating here in this match, fucking Canadians. MJF ended up being isolated throughout a commercial break, and Menard and Butcher got their own assistant abdominal stretch. During the break, MJF was able to escape. Finally he makes the
hot tag to Adam Cole. He ran wild with a pump kick and a neck breaker over the knee on Menard. MJF is on the apron, he's yelling, he's begging, he's begging for this duty once to do the double clothesline spot double clowseline, double clothesline. He's yelling at him, right, So instead of granting MJF his wish call, lowered the boom on Matt Manard Nie strike right to the back of the head and he pinned him to win the match fours team and MJF seemed okay with that. He goes, all
right, hey, you know whatever. So they didn't get to do their double class Canadians. I'm telling you, man, these Canadians, I don't know what it is. They're cheering the cheating ways of this man. What does that say about them? MJF calls for their music to be cut, gets on the mic. He calls out Alberta, saying that he has a question. Are there any devil worshippers in the house tonight? They all chanted for m JF. He said he has another question, any fans of a
certain individual with a super cool over name. And he tells Adam Cole to go do the thing, and he does it to the crowd's delight, and they all chant Adam Cole. When he puts his fingers up in the air. MJF says that they're better than you and they would have done better if they would have hit their double clothesline. Cole says, look, boundaries, boundaries, all right. So MJF says he wants another bro session and s if the fans want to see them one more time, and they all chant
yes, and Cole says, all right, why not? And Cole is getting ready to leave and MJF says, I got one more thing. I got one more thing I want to tell you, and he puts the he puts his a big Burberry belt down and he says Happy birthday, and we see confetti and streamers shoot from the sky. Crowd is chanting Happy birthday, thirty four years old. By the way, Adam Cole turns thirty four years old today. Aga maybe that was the weights, maybe that he was lifting
and he was benching in the gym earlier. He's benching thirty four pounds at the gym. So he's calling for people to come down, and a bunch of like stage hands are coming down. They got birthday stuff, birthday cake, and little party hats and balloons, so everybody gets party hats on. MJF puts one on Adam Cole. Cole says, uh, it's it's a lot. But MJF says, look, we're here to celebrate you, and he starts singing and MJF. Actually, he's got a good singing voice.
He's got a good singing voice that goes back to when he was a little kid. Remember when he was on Rosie o'donald show and he did the Dinner Dinner Debonair stuff with Chris Jericho. So he's got some, uh you know, he's got some some singing ability. He starts singing Happy Birthday to this guy and Adam Call after a while cuts him off and says, all, I get it, I get I get it. I get that you're a good singer. And he appreciates it all. But you've done more than enough.
And MJF says there's one more thing to do, make a wish, and the crowd chants make a wish. I thought John Cena was coming up. The crowd start channing make a wish, Make a wish. M JF tells us Now Cole is is few feet away from him. He's got his back turned and he's waiting for Adam Cole to make a wish. Right, He's looking at the birthday cake and m j looks. Solemn Monster a punk hater? Or why does he hate punk so much? What did he ever
do to him? Bobert reviews Matt, thank you for the forty dollars CM Punk super Chat? Why is Solemn Monster hate CM Punk Happy? Late fourth of July or happy late fourth of July to EU as well, Bobert, thank you for that. I appreciate that very very much. Happy birthday, Bob Or. It may not even be your birthday, but I'm gonna wish you a happy birthday. And he Happy birthday. Happy birthday America two hundred and forty seven years old. We still can't get it right. So he's
looking into the camera. MJF is and he's like, I'm gonna put his face in the cake. Right. He's telling us he's going to embarrass this man on TV. And he goes to put Adam Cole's face in the cake. Adam Cole kind of sidesteps and he puts mjf's face in the cake and he goes down. He's got cake goo all over his face, frosting all over his face. He must have driven through ball Zach and Cole says, good cake. The crowd chants for him to eat the cake. MJF does.
Cole tells Max to listen to him. It was nice of him to do all of this. So he wants to say thank you, my friend, sincere thank you from Adam Cole for all that MJF did for him here for his birthday, and he walked off as MJF ate the frosting off the cake. Now we all know where this story is headed. We all know how this story ends, but I'm enjoying the ride for as long as as this ride lasted. I don't know how many more weeks this is going to
go on for. I would like to see them stretch this out for a while because what they did tonight I thought was very entertaining, and I think there's still a lot of mileage left in this story. They could do more segments like the one they did from the gym. You know, they could have other bonding set I almost say bondage. They could have other bonding sessions
together doing various activities and you know whatever. And then obviously they're still in the tournament, so they're gonna be wrestling a couple more times at least here in this tournament. I think they go all the way in the tournament. I think the match is going to be FTR against MJF and Adam Cole. And like I said, we all know how the story ends. They're not gonna win the tag team titles. What I am hoping is this we all
know that MJF is not being sincere right, he's full of shit. The only question is how long is he going to keep the act up for? Right? I certainly hope that in the end, at the end of all this, Adam Cole doesn't come across as the typical dumb baby face. Right. He knows what Max is trying to do, and in the end he should be the one to get the last laugh, not MJF. So I
don't know how they're gonna end it. I don't know how they're gonna get to that point if there's going to be a turn in the tag team title match. Should they go to the end of this tournament and win the tournament or I guess they would win the tournament and then get a shot at the title. So if that is the direction they're going in, it's just a matter of who gets the drop on who first. And for MJF to get the drop on Adam Cole I think would make Adam Cole look bad. So
that's the only thing. But I hope we get at least a few more weeks out of this because what they did tonight was very, very entertaining. It worked very well together, have good chemistry, good comedic chemistry these two. And we still have a waste to go before we get to Wembley. All right, what is it? It's only July fifth, Wembley is still just shy of two months, like seven weeks away, right, Plenty plenty of other material they can be doing. So Rene but was backstage with Chris
Jericho, Daniel Garcia, and Sammy Gavar. She asked about his maybe to Don Callis earlier in the show, and Garcia said that, look, Chris, we need you. What are you doing? You're telling him maybe? Does that mean that it's the end of the jas And Jericho says, look, you guys both need room to grow. I'm not always going to be around to help you. I can't always be here to help you and help you win. And Renee then informs Garcia and Sammy that they have been selected
as partners in the Blind Eliminator tag team tourn them. What a coincidence? How about that, Daniel Garcia and Sammy Gavara partners? They're not even trying to make this rank They're not even trying. Keith Lee and Swerves Strickland, MJF and Adam Cole, Daniel Garcia and Sammy Gavara, Orange Cassidy and Darby Allen, who have been partners before. They call it a blind eliminator. The only thing blind about it is the fact that they have done a very
poor job with the way that they have made these announcements. That's my biggest gripe about this. I really dislike the way they've been making these announcements. They're just completely anticlimactic. They just come it's just you know, Renee or Tony Shravanni. Oh, by the way, you know you're you're a teaming with this guy, or it's just lame they have they show they have the tumblers in the back, but I don't know, just the way they kind
of throw it out there is pretty anti climactic. Jericho, though he hears this, he goes, oh, this is perfect. Now you two guys can go all the way to the end. You can win the tag team titles together. I still maintain that I hope that the end of the JAS is near. They really need to wind that ship down. We had Doctor Britt Baker, DMD against Ruby Soho and the Owenhart Foundation Tournament in a rematch from the finals of last year's tournament that was the finals. In twenty twenty
two, Britt won the title in the trophy. You get a title and a trophy, so she was the winner last year. This was supposed to take place last week. If you remember, Britt got sick. She was not medically cleared. This is the last of the first round matches left, so they pushed it back to this week. Tons of interference from the outcasts. This has been a calling card of the Outcasts matches basically now since they
formed the group, so that's not really a surprise. But the problem is this was just this was beyond absurd the amount of interference in this match, with the referee not seeing most of you. Here's the yet another example. It's one thing to have interference or a spot where the referee misses something. You take the ref and something's happening on the opposite side of the ring and
they don't see it. There was so much constant interference here and again, it just makes the referees look completely incapable of doing their jobs and completely incompetent that they're not seeing what's going on, they're not taking action, they're not ejecting the outcast. It just makes the referee crew look incredibly stupid. This was yet another example of this on this show. Britt went for her lockjaw finish. Soreya climbed up onto the apron started messing around with the turnbuckle,
which distracted the referee. Ruby then slammed BRIT's head into BRIT's Owenhart title belt that Tony Storm was holding up in the corner. Because Brit brought the belt out to the ring with her. We've not seen her carry this championship in a year since she won it, but she had it with her tonight and she got her head rammed into it. After the belt shot, Britt turned around into a no future kicked by Ruby, and I thought, okay, that's it right, matches over here. Brit kicked out, Brit kicked out,
Soho tried lockjob. Baker, though, kicked off the ropes and tried to lock draw herself as the outcast. They pulled Ruby out of the ring to safety. Baker went outside. She finally took out Storm and Soraya with superkicks, but as they went to go repeat the victory roll spot that ended their match last year in the Owen Soho had the victory roll countered and held
on to Tony Storm. They had their arms locked. The referee of course didn't see it and Ruby, soho steals the pin from britt Bay to advance in the Owen Hard Tournament and so Ruby will now face Sky Blue in the semifinals next week. Uh, the interference really hampered the match. The work was good from these two. I did think that the the near falls were a bit much at the end. Yeah, you do near falls like that
in like a big main event match. You know this is this is an opening round match in this tournament, so I thought that that was unnecessary. But just the constant interfere I mean, how do you even great a match like this? The work, the work was good, they were putting the effort in. But again, the interference really hampered the match overall. But I said from the start of all this, I said that it's going to be Ruby and Willow in the finals. And again they've really been putting over
the Athena Wind streak that she's been on. She's like forty eight noh or something. They might not want to beat her. But I still I look at this and I still see Ruby and Willow in the finals with Willow going over at the end of all this, and then the main event was Kenny Omega making his return for the first time, his first appearance since Forbidden Door, and he was going one on one here in this match with Wheeler Utah
of the Blackpool Combat Club. Kenny had tape all over the back of his neck and his shoulder, and that really was the story of the match. With Udah targeting, you know, the injured parts of his body, he controlled. I would say he controlled most of the match. Kenny was selling the injuries. Omega connected with a Qataro crusher, but as he went for the Ukan escape he fell down for a second. Again he was selling the neck and selling the shoulder, and then when he recovered and went for the
moonsault, Udah got the knees up. Later on, Udah dodged a v trigger and countered into an angle slam for a near fall. He went up top. He took two long though Omega quickly followed to hit a massive leg trapped superplex off the top. Utah came back planted Omega with a nice bridging German for two. This led to rolling German attempts by Utah Omega, though fought free. He hit a V trigger and two snap dragons. So Omega was trying for the one winged Angel and he struggled at first, but he
got you up. Uta though escaped. He went for his seatbelt pin Omega escaped that and he hit a power bomb then the V trigger for a near fall. So now he's getting ready to put an end to this. Kenny Omega is getting ready to put an end to this match when who should walk out? But Don Callis and there are referees and people who are trying to hold him back, and Don Callis comes out, and this of course distracts
Kenny Omega, but the referee is also not paying attention. Kennel Skate to Kesha now is in the ring behind Omega, and then he gives Kenny a blue thunderbomb, gives him a blue thunderbomb. Dah goes up to the top rope, hits a big splash and Omega kicks out. Crowd comes alive. We're in Kenny country here, man, We're in Canada, so what did you expect? Of course, the crowd is going to explode for Kenny Omega.
So Uda goes up top Omega though catches him hits a walking one winged angel for the three count, so he took a few steps before he finally dropped Utah, and Udah's very lucky he tucked his head when he did, because at first it almost looked like he got spiked right on his head. Thankfully, he tucked his head just enough where it was okay, but he fell to the one winged Angel. Don Callis's plan backfires here in this match,
and otherwise I thought it was a good Maine event. Postmatch, Claudio hit the ring with Tekesha to put the boots to Omega until the Young Bucks and Hangman Page hit the ring with chairs to even the odds. Claudio a to bt each trigger and as Hangman was preparing for a chair shot he was going to cave this man's head in with a chair. Dark Order ran in
and the Doric Order gets in the ring. They take the chair away at the last second from Hangman as he's rearing back to use it, and at that exact moment the show goes off the air, because I think they went
about a minute or two overtime. Yeah, this is like one of those finishes you would see twenty years ago where there's just a lot of chaos going on and maybe something's about to happen, but the copyright box comes on and then the show cuts off, and it leaves you wondering, like or back then you would be loved dying, like, oh my god, what happened? You know? I need to know what happened today? You know,
these days when the shows are over. See this is the evolution of being a wrestling fan, I would say twenty five years ago compared to being a wrestling fan today. Twenty years ago, twenty five years ago, day Night wore you'd have an ending like that, they'd go off the air, I'd be pissed, Right, what the fuck happened? I gotta know what happened when the show went off the air, right. I can't wait to go find next week. I can't wait to find out online or next week what
happened? Right now? These shows come to an end, especially on Mondays, and I'm grateful for it. It's it's like, it's like, couldn't this happen an hour ago? Maybe? Right? I don't feel that way so much about Dynab two two hours is fine, but it is interesting how, at least on Mondays, how things have changed over the years, where now I can't fucking wait for that show to be off the air at eleven o'clock. Back in the day, man, they weren't long enough. I
wanted another hour. I wanted it to keep, just keep going. And the next day, you know, everyone's having Me and my friends were all having conversations about what happened on Raw or Nitro the night before. So anyway, it was that style of ending that they were going for, where they wanted to leave you wondering what happened with Hangman in the Dark Order. I can tell you right now what happened. I can tell you exactly what happened,
because I already saw the clip at aw posted under social media. Nothing. That's what happened. So if you were wondering what happened when they went off the air, nothing happened. Eva Luna was saying something the Hangman. They took the chair and they left. So not much more, not much more to say about that, but yes, they were desperately out of time. Look, I don't care for the Dark Order stuff. I think I've
made that very clear. I know they're telling a story again, story right, that was the word I opened the stream with a very story driven episode of Dynamite. In many ways, this is a story I just can't bring myself to care about Hangman in the Dark Order. I don't give a shit.
I really don't. And also, look, if I'm wrong and it's not Chris, Jericho and Sting taking those spots in Blood and Guts, and bear in mind, Jericho has been a part of every Blood and Guts match so far, which just adds to my thinking that he'll be a part of this one. But if not, you know, I could see them having someone like fucking Evil Uno offer to be part of the BCC team because they're still telling that story. You'll have Hangman on one side, you'll have one
member of the Dark Order on the heel side. I don't want to see that. To me, that's just fucking lame. So I'm hoping that that's not it. I you know what, in that case, I'd rather have Jericho in the match than one of the Dark Order members. If that's the direction they're going in, I certainly hope not. I'll tell you a match I am very much looking forward to, though Kenny Omega and Canos get to
ketch them. I cannot wait to see those two in the ring together because I know, and I'm talking to one on I'm not even talking blood and guts. I'm talking one on one because I just know what those two can probably do in the ring together is going to be special. And they should really build that first singles matchup like a big deal, because I think it's going to be. When the show was over, I was entertained on the whole. There were some fun parts of the show. The opener I thought
was a lot of fun. The MJF Adam Cole stuff was fun. Main event was good. Very disappointed they didn't do more with the Jungle Boys stuff. The acclaimed that the stuff with the acclaimed and Harley Quinn what's her name, Harley Cameron whatever, again, I don't care. I really don't. The Dark Order stuff again not something I'm terribly interested in. The Jericho don Callus stuff is interesting though, Like I said, I would not mind if
they wanted to pair those two up for a while. But we don't know what Jericho's answer is going to be, he said, maybe he didn't commit to anything. Bram Page On Friday, here's the lineup for the Friday show. Matt Hardy and Jeff Jarrett against Daniel Garcia and Sammy Gavart in a blind eliminator match, Big Bill and Brian Cage against Trent Baretta and Matt Sidell in a blind eliminator match. Hikarushita against Marina Saffir, Hangman Page in the Young
Bucks against Evil Uno, John Silver and Alex Reynolds. Well, there you go, there you go. We have collision on Saturday, Cmpunk against Samoa Joe in the tournament, Ricky Starks against Powerhouse Hobbs in the tournament. FTR Well, actually Athena and Willow Nightingale is the other Owen match. The other match I was trying to remember before it was FTR against Jay White and Juice Robinson. That's gonna be an eliminator match. It's not a tag team title
match, but that sounds like a hell of a match. Bullet Club Gold against FTR. That's why I said the line up on Saturday is looking very strong. Dynamite next week has Darby Allen and Orange Cassidy against the winner of the Jeff Jarrett Matt Hardy eliminator match on Friday. In looking at it, who do I think is going over in that match? Is it Garcia and Gavarro or is it Hardy and Jarrett. Probably Garcia and Gavara, I would
say, because they'll probably won. Darby and Sammy, you know, back in the ring together, MJF and Adam Cole next Wednesday are going to face the winners of the Big Bill Brian Cage, Trumperetta Matt Sidell match and Ruby Soho against sky Blue in an Owen Hart match. And Chris Jericho will take on Commander. Yes, Commander is back. Why I don't know, But Commanders on the show next week against Chris Jericho. So there you go.
Here's a Twitter poll seventy seven percent thumbs up for Dynamite tonight. It's a little higher than I thought it would be. Seven percent thumbs up, twenty three percent thumbs in the middle, no thumbs down. What am I saying? Thumbs down? Twenty three percent thumbs down? I don't even know what I'm saying? What is in this drink? What is in this drink? I roofed myself. I spiked my own drink. That sounds like something I would do on Mondays, not on Wednesdays. Spike my own drink. All
right, let's take a look at your super chat. Let me thank everybody who is joining me here on this street. Hit that leg button, by the way, it does help out the video of great deal, So please set that thumbs up. He would be so kind. We begin. I want to begin with Chris Manson, who says Christian Cage licking his chops waiting to feud with Nick Wayne. Well, he's just looking forward to coming out it, calling him a little shit and talking about what a deadbeat his father
was. His dead father, right, That's pretty much what Christian does is already talks about people's deceased parents. Nick Grosso with the nine ninety nine, Don Callis and Chris Jericho starting a faction together sounds interesting. Just keep to kesht away, Jericho. And does this mean the jas's finally coming to an
end? Not soon enough, It's not going to be uh. I don't think it's going to be anytime soon, but that is the hope we can finally get out of this old jess Nick with the nineteen ninety nine also says, can we please get the leftovers of Dark Order out of the storyline? Where they are going? Where are they going with this? Are they turning? Heel and one of them is the five for BCC and Blood and Guts and does code. She joined the Elite as the fifth Mate. Well,
I'll tell you what. As I was just talking about, that's one of my fears that the Dark Order will be involved in some way. And I don't know if it'll be you know, Long John Silver or Evil Uno, but whoever it is that would leave a spot open on the baby Face side, and Koda and Bushi would be my guests. I mean, it could be anybody. They take your pick. They have a lot of people on that roster. It could be anybody. But I think if that were to happen, if it was a Dark Order member on the heel side, I
think Kenny would bring it in Bushy. If Jericho is on the heel side, I think Sting gets the spot on the baby face side. That's my prediction. Jessica with the two Bucks, MJF and Cole reminded me of Jericho and Ko a little bit, a little bit. Dick the Cock Johnson, who is your hero? I have no heroes. I have no heroes. I live my own life. Christopher Smith, MJF and Adam Cole have such a good chemistry together. I hope we keep getting more of this baby face.
MJF is breaking hilarious. Honestly, that's probably the best way to go with him. You get kind of these little bits of MJF as a baby face, even though you know he's still a deal. So at the end of the day, he's a great one. Turning him baby face right now would obviously be a mistake, but it allows him to pretend to be a
baby face. The masquerade is a baby like whole Cogan for many as masquerading as a baby face, but in the end, you know easy he Speaking of which Jack Lopez with the five Bucks says, I'm going back to school for the first time in thirteen years, so I don't know how much time I'll have for wrestling, but I will always make time for soul. Well, congratulations, I'm happy to hear that. That's very cool. I don't
know what you're majoring in. I don't know, I don't know your situation, but good luck and I will I will be here with the streams. You know where to find me. As long as you say, as long as you guys keep showing up, I'll keep showing up. Tuxedo t Servo, Thank you for the five bucks, Joey, wasn't that? What is the Peter Gabriel song that you play? If you hold a boom box over your head? I hold it? You mean next to my head. I'm not gonna hold it over my head. I also I'm gonna bash myself over
the head with it big time. I'm playing big time. You thought I was gonna say sledgehammer. I'm playing big time Rodimus Prime, big time. I'm gonna call you big time, big time Rodamus Prime. Just like La Knight and the Bloodline in WWE, Adam Cole and mjf are the best thing in a w hands down the funniest. Christopher Smith Jericho said backstage that you can't be with me forever to Sammy and Garcia. So I think JAS is
done. Now? Can we get Anna j with jack Er? Another reason right, another reason to just wash their hands at the Jericho Appreciation Society start moving people into other positions. Anna Jay should absolutely be with Jungle Boy oncomer Jackie Fowler with the twenty five dollars bre Mode. WrestleMania twenty and thirties main events were triple threats and with La Night catching fire like Daniel Brian Becky and Kofi I can honestly see Night two's main event of WrestleMania forty ending up being
La Tody Rhodes Roman reigns for the type. I don't see it. I don't see it being very optimistic though I respect that, but I'm gonna I'm gonna say no on that as a prediction. M sonned, was Adam Cole really pumping that weight? Look like it. I wasn't there. I can't. I can't tell you if it was fake Whites. It looked like he was good for him, he could be. Look, there are people who you look at them and they don't look strong, and they're deceptively strong.
I've never considered Adam Cole to be somebody like that. But I don't know. I have no idea. Christopher says, a double clothesline for the wind. You know they're gonna hit the double clothesline, probably in the finals, right at some point they're gonna hit their A double double team moved Jerry Raymie with ten bugs. There's Jericho a face or is it a swerve? Honestly, jas isn't getting over or advancing the careers of Garcia or Anna j.
Manard or Magic don't interest me? What are your thoughts? Well, it's funny people were saying the same thing about proud and powerful at the end of the whole Inner Circle thing that Santana and Ortiz felt like they were actually being held back in a way by Jared. In fact, I believe I was the person who said that, me and probably everybody else with two functioning eyeballs
who was watching that television show. So here we are again with a jas and Yeah, there are people who feel like they're just sort of stuck. Best thing, I think the best thing to do, frankly, would be for them to move on, Doctor Scorpio. The Hearts are probably the only people from Calgary that we would cheer and respect in Edmonton, despite us being hated Hockey City rivals. Yeah, I'm meant to ask since I'm guessing you're a hockey fan, so let me ask you this question because I hear I
hear these mentions of halves h a bs. What team is it? I know that's in reference to a team in the NHL, but I never actually looked it up. Who were the halves? What is that? In h What is that in reference to I'm not a hockey fan, so I don't know. I know it represents a particular team. Red Emissary of Darkness Solo Canada. Trip from Ballzac to Regina to Googles that googles or goobies. I can't tell if that's an ell or an eye. I think that's an odd
goobies. Is that a real that's not real? That's not a real place. Okay, So the halves of the canad Idiots, Okay, Montreal Canadians. Why are they called hats? Like? What does that mean? Okay? So it's their nickname, but what is I don't get the nickname. Is there really a place in Canada called goobies? So we have? We have? So you're telling me that we have places in Canada that are named after ball Sack, Vagina and boobies. I think I may have to move
to Canada. Another reason to move to Canada. Bobert Reviews says again, happy late fourth of July. So nice. I had to read it twice because you dropped forty on me. So Bobert, thank you very much. Jared in the chat says, I am I'm Alberta. Ballzac is a real town. You still haven't told me though, what the population of Ballzacs red Emissary of Darkness, Adam and Maxwell go to Whitecastle coming all in Chris axc Ta, Keshta, Omega Osprey at Wembley IWGPUS tut Beltzer wouldn't have enough stars,
what would you're all in main event? Honestly, I mean the all inmate event should be CM Punk against Kenny Omey. For being honest, I don't know, I'll have to I'll think about that. I mean, since we know that match is not happy, I don't know what should headline. I mean, honestly, if they did, if they did Osprey and Omega again, it's hard to look at that as anything but the main event.
How do you follow that? Plus he got Osprey in the UK, that whole element to it, just like Omega in Canada, you know, Mjffings, Adam Cole. If they do the match it all in for the for the championship, that's not I'm sorry, that's not Wembley main event worthy. So it would be something involving Omega or Punk. Mostly I'm still I'm just I'm just amazed by this whole Canadian Canadian ball Zach Regina and Boobies. Somebody had fun naming be Plus. I was like something I would do. Food
High says I f and miss you guys. The streams make my week. It's good to hear from Food High. I feel like we haven't heard from him enough, Labor, so I'm glad you're with us, brother he Josiah Ball, thank you for the super chat. Chris Mike Cell rest in peace draws. I could picture him in the hardcore division had he never been paralleled. Yeah, I mean it's hard to know what his ceiling would have been because he was so young and he really didn't have the chance to do much.
You know, he was an underneath guy, an undercard guy, but he was just getting started. By that point, he had been there a couple of years, but it still felt like he was really only getting started. So it's hard to know how far he could have gotten, you know, because he just never had the chance. I could see him being involved in the hardcore title stuff back then. Wan O Compo, we all knew you marked out for the Lone Wolf last week. Well, I hope you
all enjoyed the Lone Wolf, because the Lone Wolf is dead. The Lone Wolf was a one a one week thing. Baron Corbyn posted something I was told on his Twitter. I don't know because he blocked me fucking five years ago, but fucking moron. But he posted some kind of video. Maybe they aired it on NXT last night. I haven't watched NXD of him throwing all of his guard from and gear from, like all of his past gimmicks
into a furnace. So the stupid Happy Corbin hat and the best and the old Lone Wolf leather vest all of it, the crown from the King Corbin run. He threw it all in the furnace and said no gimmicks from now on. It's no more gimmicks. So everybody who was like, oh the Lone Wolf is back, Hey, he lone Wolf. I hope you enjoyed it, Like Brian Danielson coming out to final count Dad at Forbidden Door. I hope you enjoyed, because it ain't gonna ever happen again. You got
it once. If you want to relive it, you can go back. And rewind Dylan Hensley with the twenty dollars super Chats. Just had my first heartbreak wrestling training training buddy who I had grown close with decided to quit. Tried to talk him out of it, but he said he didn't want it badly enough. I was sad to see him go, but I won't stop. Well, there's gonna be a lot of people who try to become wrestlers and they're not cut out for it and they drop off. It's gonna be
a lot of that. It's up to you. If you want it bad enough, you gotta hang in there. Some people want it, some people don't. People get hurt, some people realize that they're just not cut out for it. Fortunately, it's it's probably gonna happen more more in the future. You just focus on you just focus on your training and getting better, owning your craft, learning what you need to learn. Keep us updated on your progress. I'm enjoying these updates. Be calm. See clearly, I
hate the Mets sincerely A Diamondbacks fan. Those snakes. I hate the Mets too, So that's something you and I haven't come Jaden Burke's with the four ninety nine. He solomonster, I've been a fan since twenty twelve. Just turned twenty one. Oh okay, so there was a word missing let he said twenty twelve it's been a fan since I was twelve, just turned twenty one two months ago. Well let's let's let's do the math. He's been a fan since he was twelve. He just turned twenty one a couple of
months ago. Nine years ago would have been m what twenty fourteen. Thank you for all the great work and content, Jasen, You're very welcome. Thank you for being a fan for so long. I appreciate that. I'm glad to have you with us, Glad to have you with me. Alberto Ortiz and the Chat says, I cannot wait to see it. When Solo takes a bump at HOB, I will not allow someone to bump him. I'm the commissioner. You can't bump it. You can't bump the commission You
see people going up to Adam Silver at press conferences and bumping them. You see people going up to fucking Rob man for I wish they would actually go up to Rob Manfred and fucking hit him with a fucking steel chair. No, no, no, no, no, I'm the commission That don't work that way. Chris Mike Sell loved your old interviews with DDP and Hardcore Holly. Any chance we get more interviews in the near future with some WWE legends. Well, you never know if the opportunity were to present itself. You
know. With me, it's just a matter of there's so many interview shows out there. You know. I always said my show is not an interview show. I will do interviews with people who I find interesting and who I think the audience would find interesting. And I've done some really cool interviews with me, like DDP twice. I mean one time he was very sick, he still took the time to talk to me. And we've talked about old Randy Savage stories, and we talked about the Goldberg match at Halloween Havoc and
we did a whole dissection of it. Hardcore Holly, very honest in the interview I did with him many years ago when his book came out, Justin Roberts and just so many Tony Schivanni, you know, I got the chance of tones of Tony Schavanni when he was working with MLW this before he joined AW. I'm always open to it, but it's got to be the right person. It's got to be the right interview. I have to want to talk to this person. I have to feel like the audience would have an
interest in it. But there are a lot of very talented people, you know, Chris van Vliet is one of the best. I've told Chris this. I'm a big fan of his work, and you know, we've talked before. I was on Chrisy's show. Actually, Chris, Chris and I didn't interview once before. Also, it's a lot of people out there who do really good interviews, so that's kind of their space. But the chance presented itself. Yeah, absolutely, of course. QB Chris Hero Andy Boushi
as the last two spots in Blooding Guts Chris Hero. Interesting, So we've got a Kings of Wrestling reunion in Blooding Guts. Yeah, I could see that. You know, look, he's he's flat out said he's not retired. He's inactive, but he's not retired and he is with AW right now. I think on a trial basis working behind the scenes. So if they wanted him for a match to dust off the boots, get a little Kings of Wrestling reunion going on. I could see that again. Josiah, thank
you. Jaden Again Jaden with the nine ninety nine after Forbidden Door and Money in the Bank, it's a bit sad to see how far the gap between Osprey and Ricochet has gotten. It sets little guy tweet age like the finest milk in the Death Valley Desert. Yeah. Part of it also is just where Ricochet is. If will Osprey had signed with WWE five years ago, will Osbury would not be having the kind of match you had with Kenny Omega
Forbidden Door. There's just certain limitations on what you can and cannot do in WWE. If you watch people when they're on the indies and then they go to WWE, the vast majority of them they're not working the same types of matches they worked on the independency. So believe me, if Ricochet had left ww if Ricochet left WWE tomorrow, he's going to be the hottest thing on
the independency. If he chooses to go that router, or if he went to AW, he'd be having similar types of matches that you would expect him to be having in WWE. It's just it's a different environment. You're having these shorter television matches that are built around commercial breaks. It's just it's a different environment that does not allow you to have the same types of matches that you saw these same people having before they came to DEW there's I mean,
look at the people that have gone to NXT. Dragon Lee. Dragon Lee is an NXT right now. Have we seen dragon Lee Wressell a match yet similar to the best matches you saw Dragon Lee having before he came to NXT. I haven't. It doesn't mean he's not having good matches, but it's just the different environment in WW. You know, I don't. I don't blame Ricochet for that. Sean d yes they did air that last night on NXT. Okay, I thought I thought they probably did. I will watch
NXT tomorrow. Joseph Brooks buy or Sell on whose work you enjoyed more and who you thought was the more underrated King of the Ring, King Booker or William Regal. I feel like Regal Regal one in an O eight, I believe right. I feel like Regal's run was cut short not long after that when he got pop. I think it was the suspension. Look, I mean, King Booker of one of them a world heavyweight title. You know,
it really did kind of reinvigorate his career. But I enjoyed I enjoyed regals work as King of the Ring, even though again I think it was relatively brief. I very much enjoyed Regal when they were given him that push. And it's too bad because I really do think that he could have had a world heavyweight title run himself, not just Booker. I think after Regal one King of the Ring, he could have had that big gold belt, he could have had that secondary world title, which is what it was at
that point in time. I think I think if he would have compared the two it was it was the secondary of the two. He absolutely could have had a run into the world heavyweight change. And he's got nobody to blame but himself, by his own admission, his own mistakes, his own stupid mistakes. It's hard to put your your trust in somebody in that role when they've let you down, and that's what happened with William Regal, unfortunately.
But I would go Regal OVERBOOKERH and Leonard McCormick at the four ninety nine did you ever consider being a part of the wrestling industry in the role you currently are in when you were younger? Oh, I mean, when I was a kid, Yeah, I mean I always would have the WWF microphone and pretend that I was mean Gene Oker lend or I was Vince McMahon. I
always said, yeah, I want to be an announcer. Then you get older and you realize, well, to be an announcer you have to have sports play by play experience, which I did not have, nor was I thinking alone those lines when I was when I was still in school, and you realize, okay, well they're obviously not looking they're looking for was something
totally different. Then you realize the reality of it. But yeah, when I was a kid, it was all about being, uh, being the next mean ge, which is why when I had the chance to sit down at Wrestle Khan and interview Meme g face to face, that was one of the great thrills for me, you know, and he had some very kind comments for me, and after we were done, we were just kind of shooting the ship for a little bit. Uh. Yeah, he was. He was one of the kind. He's just he's just from that era.
I don't know, they don't they don't make him like him anymore. Guys like him and Bobby Heenan, they just they just don't, you know. They were just from a different era from a different time, and I don't know, there's just there's there's nobody. There's nobody that's come along that's really been like Larry Sweeney and Ring of Honor was maybe the closest thing to like a Bobby Heman type who I thought could have gone on to be possibly that
great. And you know, he took his own life and obviously cut his life on his career shorts. We'll never know, but you know, there's just one of a kind, you know, one of the kind guys, and there'll never be another life of them. Sad, sad, they're all gone. Monsoon's gone, Janan's gone, Bean Jean's gone. Thank they're all gone. Men, they're all gone. Jaden before ninety nine. I also think if Knaka Mora left and had one last Japan run, possibly a forbidden
doormatch, would do wonders for his standing in the wrestling world. Yeah, I don't think he's too worried about his standing in the wrestling world. I mean, his body of work in New Japan speaks for itself. He was probably one of the smart ones. In all honesty, he got out before his body completely broke down. It's you watch some of these guys. And Tanahashi right now is having some problem with his knees, and it's painful sometimes
to watch Nakamura. When he left New Japan, he basically left that whole strong style behind. You know, I can't say that I blame him. You know, he came to WWE. I'm sure he's making good money, He's putting a lot less stress on his body, he gets to go surfing. I don't get the sense that Nakamura is all that interested in going back and being the New Japan Nakamura. I think he did it, and he seems very happy and content where he is now. Plus he's not getting any
younger. So this idea that one day he'll leave WWE and maybe go back to New Japan and we'll get the old Nakamura back. Every year that goes by, that becomes less and less likely, and he's that much older, and you just get to that age. You can't put that level of stress on your body anymore. You know, why would you? Why would you want it? He got out when the going was good. Can't hold it against them. Jaden says, you're probably right. More often than that,
I am right. It's pretty good pretty good rule of thumb to live by. Oh man, So I think that that gets to all of your super chats. I think I covered them all some good questions in there. So thank you, thank you, thank you. I appreciate it as always. And right now, let's go ahead and switch over to our be the booker segments. What do you guys think you want to be the book I kind of want to be the booker. Let's be the booker, ladies and gentlemen,
it is now time to be the booker. Let us go ahead and be the booker. And don't forget to hit that leg if you have not already done so. We will begin by booking ourselves a singles men's match here in bald Zach. Tonight, I am promoting this show in Balsack. We have a crowd of twenty six hundred, not a big gate. I would still like to book a good mate event for these fine folks here in Balsack. We're gonna have. Well, I've already failed. I have let down
the people of Balsack, for I have selected what is his name? Forgot his name? What is this fucking guy's name? I don't have the foggiest clue what his name? Oh that's right, Medicat Boss. Oh God, that tells you everything you need to know about old mad Cap Moss. I'm looking at him in his stupid shirt and his stupid suspenders, and I cannot remember his fucking name, mad Cap Moss one on one with Joseph park Esquire Uric Kane says, the joke's on us. The joke's on us. Yes,
the joke is on us. The joke is on us. The joke's on me. I don't know if I should be concerned about the fact that I can't remember this guy's name. He hasn't been off television for that long. All right, let's put that in the rear views. Pretend that didn't happen. We'll can move on to the Let's move on to the ladies. Here to begin with the reigning NXT Women's champion, Tiffany Stratton. Here we go. Now we're off to a much better start here on the women's side.
Tiffany Stratton gonna be a big star on the main roster. It's only a matter of time. I feel the same way about her that I felt when Ria Ripley was in that same role in NXT and Ria Ripley right now is on top of the world in w WA. So it'll be Tiffany Stratton one on one with Ronda Rowsey. Tiffany Stratton and Ronda Rowsey. You may not like Ronda Rowsey, but that's a marquis enough match I think to book on the show, and actually I think that there's the potential there for that
to end up being a pretty good match. Even though Tiffany Stratton still you know, still still little green. She hasn't put the whole package together just yet. Tiffany Stratton and Ronda Rouse, he gets the bell, those two could pull out a good match. Okay, so one loss, one win, you know what that means. It all comes down to this. We have a lot of very conflicted people on the chat. They're not sure how to feel about that match. You can't have a draw in be the booker.
You got either get the bell or the buzzer. You gotta make a decision. We don't do draws here. What is this the newdest colony? We don't do draws all right? Here we go the World's Greatest tag team of Shelton Benjamin and Charlie hass omber WWE Tag Team Champions from Roll Please, Charlie Hass and Shelton Benjamin against Tito Santana and Rick Martel. Strike Yes, Strike Force in the World's Greatest Tag Team would be actually a very good tag
team match. That would be a hell of a tag team match. They're what you would call the good mechanic teams. They have the mechanics down of their matches technically sound. You're really into the wrestling part of it, not so much the personality part of it. If you're looking for charisma and personality, this is not the match for you. Although I did enjoy the Model I did. I enjoy the Model gimmick Strike Force, though there really wasn't
much personality. There had a good song right girls in cars, Rick Springfield. So I call that a win here and be the book. It went two for three, two out of three. That's a good night. Bearwolf says Rick Martell is underrated. Rick Martell should be in the WWE Hall of Fame. I agree the Model was awesome as an early nineties gimmick. Yeah, he's another one. Also, I think his entrance music is underrated. I always enjoyed his theme music. Rick Martel had a damn good run in
WCW before he got hurt. Yeah, it's it's a shame too, because he came back. It was in ninety eight and he won the television title and then it was in the match with Booker T. I forgot what pay per view it was, and his knee basically exploded and that was it. So he was having this career resurgence when the injury happened. So who knows how much longer he could have gone on for. But now he was having some pretty kickcass matches in WCW until the injury. I think it was the
opening match too. I just don't remember what pay per view it was, but it was in ninety m maybe it was sold out. I don't remember Super Bowl. I feel like it was earlier in the year. Drinking that Creak Liquors some knob Creek here, maybe keeping it a secret. Jaden says, what's in the cup? Solo some funny jews. Hey, it's it's uh, you know whatever. The street Prophet's drinking those red Solo cups when
they come down to the ring. That's what I haven't here, Joey says, By the way, Solom Monster, the Peter Gabriel song I was looking for. Is in your eye? That sounds like another one of those Canadian provinces go from bald Zach to Regina to Goobies too. In your eye? I would still love to know what the population is of a bald No. No one has told me. Is there no is there no record of what the population is? And that is it a city or is it a province?
Because you have a lot of things of towns, you have cities, you have townships, you have municipalities of various kinds. Is it a province, is it a city? Is it a village? Jackie? I mean, I don't know why you're so shocked the Rock is not in the Hall of Fame. I mean, it's just up to his schedule. It's a it's a formality at this point. It's just a matter of what is the best year to put him in the Hall of Fame. That's really the only
thing holding it up. Jaden says it was super brawl against Booker t I thought it was. It was early in the years, so I knew it was either sold out or it was super brawl. Population is about forty thousand. Wow, that's a lot of Wow. It's a lot of people. It's more than I thought. Yeah, I thought it was gonna be a population of like twelve hundred or something. Okay, but Jared is telling me that Ballzac is right outside of Calgary, maybe three hundred people, all right,
So it's officially listed as a hamlet. Of course I forgot. I didn't mention hamlet. If it's a hamlet, it probably has only a few hundred people. Forty thousand people and a fun come on the fucking hamlet. There ain't no forty thousand people in Ballzach. Okay, I don't don't. I don't buy that. I don't know where you're getting your information from. A fawaz is with us. It's gone on fas with a ten dollars super chat buddy. What's up? Keep up the great work. Recently watched our
first call three years ago. I gotta say I got tiri eyed. I really wanted to thank you for everything. Bringing the signs was so special to me. Bringing the signs a special to me too when I see them out there in that crowd. So I should be thanking you. Yeah, I remember that when I used to do the phone calls and we had the chance to talk. How many years ago was that? Was that three years ago? Two or three years ago? Probably by now? Anyway, Fauaz is
one of the good ones. Williams says forty thousand. I don't know if I believe that I'm being told that Balzac is a neighbor town to Pecker Point. Do I think Batist, though, will ever go into the Hall of Fame. It seems like every year it keeps getting delayed. He was going to go in this year, and he had filming obligations in South Africa for that my spicequel, So he's another one. It just really just boils down
to scheduling. He was supposed to go in three years ago, but he didn't want to go in unless there were actual people in the building because that was during the whole pandemic period. So West Coast James, it's been a sound of legend for twenty six straight munths. What do we call people who reside in Baalzach? It's a good question. What do we call those people? I can't call him like Baalzachians. What do you call people who who
reside in Baalzay? You can tell I'm just completely infatuated now with this, with this hamlet, I may have to take a vacation there. Yeah, I haven't gone on vacation in three and a half years. I think I just found my vacation destination. For Oz says, I have to ask, what's your favorite sign that you saw that I brought to the shows? Mind
is honestly the four life sign because we dressed up like the nWo. I think the last one you did whatever, that last one was always like the logo because against the black and then you see the white and the red, it stands out pretty good that way. So that that probably that one probably gets my vote, honestly. Boffman Entertainment holding down things in the chat also
dropped the super Chat says. The population according to the two thousand and six municipal senses conducted by Rocky View County is one according to Wiki one one. You say, so there's only one Balls act or one person in Balls Act. That sounds more believable to me than forty thousand. This has been very enlightening. I must say I learned things tonight that I did not know, and I thought I knew everything. I think I know everything, So I
learned some new stuff tonight. I don't know what I'll do with this knowledge, but like I said, I might, I might have just found my new vacation destination. We'll have to see. We'll have to see. I will be back with you on Friday night. Friday Night. It's going to be a big night because Friday Night is SmackDown from Madison Square Garden. SmackDown is in my backyard and it's a big show. We got the trial of
Roman Rains, who's going to be in tribal court. We also have I don't want to spoil it, but we may be seeing the return of a certain former WWE star on Friday. And they announced, well, god, what was the other thing they announced for a SmackDown on Friday. It's not a championship, man, I thought they announced something else for SmackDown on Friday. In any event, it's going to be a big night, so you'll want to be here for the review that'll be on Friday night. Saturday.
I am probably going to be live after collision because it is a big show. I think the plan is live Friday night, Live Saturday night, and then episode eight sixteen on Sunday. I have, by the way, installed fight forever. I was going to try to work on a call, but it was pointed out to me, and I think it's actually a great point that I may as well just use Orange Cassidy so I don't have to create a wrestler. It's already been created for me, and so maybe we'll start
the road to the elite. Right now, I'm just trying to get a little acclimated with some of the controls and I'm making progress. I'll see you guys Friday night.
