A New AEW Champion

But fear not, I can easily talk for the next hour because there's a lot of stuff I'll talk about here today. Full Gear two is in the books. We have a new a e W champion and his name is Maxwell Jacob Friedman. He won the title after Yes William Regal slid him the knock and he knocked out John Moxley. So we're gonna talk about that here today. And I got a lot to say about that, especially after I had a lot to say about it, now I have more to say. Well, we'll talk about that

the rest of the show as well. A lot of good matches on the show, some matches not so great, but overall I would give the show a Hey, hearty thumbs up. We'll get your thoughts as well. We've got to the n x T show coming up on Tuesday. We've got Dynamite coming up on Wednesday. We've got Monday Night Raw coming up here tonight with Survivor series and War Games coming up. We have got Royal Rumble having already broken records for w w E. Kenny Omega is

working the Tokyo Dome. They are doing Kenny Omega versus Will Osprey for the i w g P United States title. That will be November. I'm sorry, January four, Russell Kingdom seventeen. So Kenny Omega will not be doing the a W show coming up in Seattle, the Seattle Debut. Kyrie is a new i w g P Women's Champion. Filthy Tom Lawler fell. He fell during the New Japan X Stardom show,

the Crossover Show. We talk to him about that, by the way, in about two hours and uh and I even got I haven't got through half what I want to talk about, So a lot to get into today. Back in a moment to kick it off, Wrestling Observe Alive and back of the show. Brian Elbarez here Wrestling Observer Live. I'm Mike Simper BV and not to joining us here today, but I got a lot to talk about.

Let's take a quick look at the pay per view portion of the All out I'm sorry, the full Gear two show, and then a lot of notes on all of it. Jungle Boy defeated Luca Saurus in a cage match with the h b K elbow off the cage through a table and then he put on his snare trap and Luca Saurus submitted. I thought the opener was an excellent cage match, a lot of callbacks to the Hell in his Cell match with the Undertaker and Sean

Michael's in although no kne this time around. But Luke Source is he's injured, his shoulders injured, so I think he's gonna be out for a little while and hopefully he'll be back and feeling great when that happens. But a big win for Jungle Boy in the opener we had, and this was a little bit weird the way this all went down. We had an a W World Trio's

title match. It was the Death Triangle versus the Elite, and my prediction had been that the Elite was gonna come back and win the titles because they were supposed to lose the titles. They were supposed to be stripped of the titles. They were stripped because of everything that went down with CM punkin the big fight back stage.

And they came back and they did not win. In fact, the Death Triangle beat them when Pack slid the hammer into Ray Phoenix as Ray Phoenix was being hoisted up for the one Wing and Angel and I like the way they did it. Ray Phoenix didn't want to cheat, but in the moment he literally had two options. I take this move and him killed, or I have to use his hammer, and he used the hammer. Victory role

pinned Kenny Omega. They retained the six man titles. Now, later they announced that they were going to do Death Triangle versus the Elite in a best of seven series, and people began asking, are the titles on the line and all of these matches? Now? The reason this was asked was because the two most famous best of seven matches in American wrestling history are the um so famous I'm Nikita and Ivan Coloff and uh and Booker T

and Chris ben Wah. Those are the two most famous best of seven matches, so Booker t and Kris ben Wah, neither of them had a title. The winner was going to become the number one contender for the title, and in the Nikita series the title was vacant and the title was going to go to a winner. So in both cases neither neither of the competitors in the best of seven were champions. But in this best of seven

there are champions. So people ask a lot of the belts on the line in every match, and the answer is no, except for the first match. This ended up being the first match of best of seven and the titles were on the line, But now for the rest of the best of seven, the titles aren't on the line,

and then the winners of the series get the titles. Now. Also, the way that this has been set up where they announced it was best of seven after this match and retroactively made the first match the first of the best of seven, this means that the elite is going in with a disadvantage. They have already lost one of the matches, so anyway that's what they're doing. It's gonna be on television, and a lot of people noted that there's a gap.

January four. Well, yes there is because Kenny Omega is going to the Tokyo Dome and so he's not going to be available for a trios match. On January four in Seattle, Jade Cargill defeated Nyla Rose and it was not a very good match. They made it through the match. I believe there may have been an injury during this match which made things even worse. That is not confirmed, and usually they actually don't talk about injuries, so we may never find out exactly what happened. But one way

the other, it was not very good. Jade Cargill retained the title. Chris Jericho beat Bryan Danielson, Claudio and Sammy Gavara to retain the Ring of Honor title. Thought the match was great. They they had a split with Sammy and Chris Jericho after Jericho hit him with an arrant Lion salt and then Sammy ended up breaking up a pin and then they came to blows and had a

big fight. Brian Danielson and Claudio also went at it, so UH, members of of of the team's wrestled each other during this match, and then finally UH Chris Jericho hit the elbow and Claudio as he was doing a giant swing and he got the pin. So it doesn't look like to me, Jericho versus Claudio at final battle could be Danielson again. Maybe it'll be Sammy. I don't know, but I presume they're gonna do some sort of angle

to set it up. Uh. Coming out of the Wednesday show where Jericho will face is she E as his latest Ring of Honor champion that he will be uh press umably defeating on dynamite. Sarriah beat Britt Baker. I would not say that this was an all time classic match or anything resembling that, but given out long that Siria had been out of action and probably done little to no training, I thought that they I thought that they did a good job. They got it, they got

through it. I thought that Britt Baker should go over. She did not. Sirea beat her clean, which is not the finish that I would have done, and uh, you know, probably went too long. My. I don't want to say I know how to do this stuff, but this match should have been shorter and Britt should have won. The

story should have been that Sarria was rusty. Sarria would then have to fight her way back, and in fighting her way back, she would shake off the rust and if she had matches and looked rusty, now it's part of the storyline. You work your way back when she's ready to go. Now you do a long match with Britt Baker that you want to try to make a classic, and then she beats Britt Baker. But coming in match went too long, is she's still rusty? Britt did the

best she could. Sirea beats her clean as the outsider w W, a wrestler as a wrestl in five years, walks in and beats Britt Baker. And now if she doesn't have great matches, well you don't have really, uh, you know, she's You can't say she's rusty. You don't want to say a rusty. Sirea beat Britt Baker. So I think all of this would have worked out way better if you would have print put Britt Britt over, but they didn't, and what has done is done. So Oh,

Joe beat Wardlow and Hobbs. Wardlow hit the power bombs on Hobbes. Joe hit Wardlow with the belt, put Hobbes in the choke. Joe is now a double champion. They've taken the title off Wardlow, and so presumably, I mean, I shouldn't say presumably because I don't know where they're gonna go, but I mean you could do Wardlow m JF as mgf's first major feud for the title, which presumably would lead to Wardlow losing. But I mean there's you know, the reality is it's okay for Wardlow to lose.

Wardlow being unable to be beaten, and that TNT title run it cooled him down a lot, So I think that, you know, to get him over, it's okay for him to lose every now and then for for big matches. Put him in high profile matches. He wins most he loses here or there. I think that, uh, I think it's okay to do that. And now Joe has uh not unified, but he's got two belts, So now we have one less belt running around because one guy has another one. Sting Darby beat Jared and j Lethal wasn't

a great match, but the fans loved it. You did a lot of crazy stuff. Sting fell off things like a bat. Jeff Jarrett at his guitar shots sotten him sings in there. They did a couple of spots with him and then uh Sting ended up hitting the scorpion death drop as Jay Lethal was come and off the ropes, and then uh Darby went up top the coffin drop got the pin. So it was fun. Jamie Hayter beat

Tony Storm to win the title. They did not have a lot of heat early, and ironically, as much as everybody complains about interference, it wasn't until they started doing interference and the fans got super into the match because they were expecting the interference to lead to something, and every time somebody kicked out, they got more into it.

And finally, when Jamie Hayter won, this place went nuts and they've wanted Jamie Hayder to be champion for a while, and it felt to me that this was a star making moment for Jamie Hayter. She is a new interim women's Champion and now we wait to see when thunder Rosa comes back, which still could be months. You gotta do whatever you're gonna do with Jamie and Britt, so they have options here and they acclaimed defeated Swerve in

our glory. We had two options. Either Keith Lee was going to listen to herv and turn heel and win the titles, or he wasn't and he didn't. He was offered the chance to cheat, he said, screw you. He walked out on Swerve. The team is done. Swerve is double teamed and pinned, and now they confused. And of course the main of n MGF and John Moxley. That'll be a segment back in a moment, Observer Live. Back in the show, Bright Albarez here Wrestling Observer Live. M

jeff and John Moxley. All right, listen, did you know I am a columnist for Sports Illustrated. Indeed, I am. My newest column is up right now looking at the MGF John Moxley match and finish, And of course people read it and they didn't like it. Well that's fine. Here's the thing to me, I predicted going in that the finish that they were going to do was probably William Regal sliding the nuts to him JF because MJF had vowed he would not use the ring. He had

vowed he would not use the ring. Well, he didn't use the ring. He used the nuts and he went full heel and he knocked out John Moxley. And he won the title. That was the one I figured they would do. There was the one I did not want them to do, which was the firm helping him win. And the entire thing had been a swerve after they beat the hell out of each other for weeks on end.

Thank god they didn't do that one. Now, if you've been listening to the show for probably going on months now, and for sure dating back all the way to when they actually probably even a little bit before m Jeff fired the firm and they beat him up, and it was like, this is a this is a baby face turn here. I advocated that he should go full baby face and be top baby face and represent the company

that way. And my argument was that the fans want it now, and I believe that when the fans want something, you should give it to them. Partially by the way, because when a w began, one of the things that attracted people to it was that it was not w w E. And if you were a fan of w w E or you had been disgruntled with w w E, what did you have, Well, you had a decade a fans booing John Cena wanting him to turn heel, and

the company just barreled on through his baby face. Then you add Roman Reigns, which was the exact same thing. They're putting there, shoving him down your throat as the top baby face, and the fans are booing him. They don't want it, and you stick to your guns. So here to me was these fans want him to be a baby face, so we're gonna barrel on through his he'll.

If it doesn't work, he can turn he'll. I think that m JF is a talented enough he'll that if you go baby face with him and it doesn't work, then he goes he'll. But I didn't see a danger in trying. Now. Of course, you know people read this and' like ah, no one ever said that he needed to change his character, kiss babies, do any of that. Okay, he can still be mj F. While he's still gonna be m JM. Now, listen, Steve Austin. Steve Austin headed edge, but he was not a heel. Steve Auston would would

stun baby faces here and there. Steve Boston would trash talk other baby faces, but he was not a heel. Steve Boston never won a match when somebody slid him an object or when people interfered on his behalf. Whatever he did, whatever edge he had, he still booted and hit the stunner, and he faced other heels and he was a baby face. He wasn't whole Hogan, say your prayers, take your vitamins. He was stone cold Steve Austin, but

he was a baby face. M JF can still be m JF, but he can be a baby face and he can face the top heels. If you don't have enough heels, you can turn people. He'll he can face the top heels. But he doesn't need to be hitting people with the ring. He doesn't need to be healing people with brass nuts. He doesn't need people interfering on his behalf. That's a heel. The fans want to cheer him. That was my argument. I never said you had to

change everything about m JF. But what you do change is he doesn't hit people with the ring to win. He doesn't. In fact, the one time that somebody slid Steve Awson an object and he used that to win, he wasn't a baby face. That was his heel turn. So anyway, for those that didn't understand what I was getting at, That's my point. But what's done is done. He is now a heel, and as I noted in the article, here's the thing. I'm not saying this can't work with m JF as a heel. I'm not saying

this can't be a big success. What I'm saying is we can't predict the future. I don't know if a baby Face run for m JF is top baby face in a w listen. I don't know if it would have worked. But what I do know is it could have worked huge. It could have Maybe it would have you know what, Maybe it would I don't know. But my whole argument was if it doesn't, I have enough faith in m JF that he can go heal again and make being a hell work. So it's not every

day you're handed an opportunity like this. It's not every day that, for whatever reason, the fans have decided this is our guy. When that happens, I believe that you should go with it. They didn't. We'll see what they end up doing. Couldn't work out, great, guy's great hell, But you know I've seen this before and again, we

can't predict the future. But you know there was a period it was in two thousand nine, and uh and Jeff Hardy, for whatever reason, bro, this guy got so hot and it felt like, oh my god, you put the title on this guy, and you've got a new baby face World champion, star top guy in the company. And they built that match at the Royal Rumble with Randy Orton, and it was like, dude, there's only one finish.

Randy Orton goes from the r k Oh, Jeff Hardy counters into the Twist of Fate, hits the Santon wins the title. You've made your new top guy. And of course the problem was Jeff Hardy had a lot of problems. But what they did was the opposite. What they did was he went for the Twist of Fate, Randy Orton turned into the r k Oh and Randy pinned him, which I believe was leading to Randy Orton versus Triple H for the title at WrestleMania, in a storyline that

absolutely sucked. Okay, Now, I can't sit here and tell of you that if Jeff Hardy would have won the title and been top baby face, I can't guarantee you that it would have been like a smashing success. Okay, We'll never know. But what I do know is what they did it sucked. Okay, so I don't know if m JF has top baby face, doing it right would have been a smashing success. What I do feel is that potentially it could have been. And right now we're

never gonna know. But um, I'm not saying that because they didn't do it. This whole thing is going to be a disaster. And for some reason I I talked about it, I wrote about it. Now people like, oh ah, never said it, never said it. So anyway, that's what they did. And now you know, there's a lot of questions. Well, clearly William Regal is no longer with the Blackpool Combat Club. What are they gonna do with the rest of the Blackpool Combat Club? It was called the Blackpool Combat Club

because of William Regal. Do they change their name? Who stays, who goes? What do they do with Wheeler Utah? I mean John Moxley the show. These fans so badly wanted MGF to be the baby face that mj like. Moxley didn't even get a chance to come down the aisle before he was booed. They hit that guy's music and

they booed that guy out of the building. He went full heel in this match, and they booed him and they hated him and they chanted bad things at him, and then you know mjf's you know, they're totally behind him. He worked as a baby face, everything was great and then the end they switched it all around in m JF went heel. So now what do you do with John Moxley? Is he still a heel? Is he a baby face? Did he turn? I don't know, I don't

know what's going on. It is funny though, they they booed the guy out of the building and then when the show went off the air, they gave John Moxley a stating ovation as he as he left the ring. So we'll see what they do. What we won't see is MJF his top baby face, because you know, I guess anything is possible. But for those of you that think that, you know, he's still gonna be MGF. But he's gonna you know, he's he's heel. He's a heel now and they're gonna be doing everything in their power

to get him mightily booed. And so we shall see what they end up doing. Who is the first challenger where they go and UH and how successful they can be with this because he is young, he's twenty six years old. He's now the top star. You've got him as champion, You've got a new face of the UH of the women's division with Jamie Hayter. The acclaim to retain the titles, which, by the way, the acclaimed was was exactly what I was talking about. They got over.

Do you think that scissor Me was by design? No, it was something that organically got over and they went with it and it ended up being a huge success and they're still take Team champions. So we got a best of seven coming up on UH on Dynamite, which should lead to a series of awesome matches. There's a lot of things they can do there. So it feels like in a lot of ways, if you watched the period really from I would say from double or nothing, from when CM Punk first got hurt and they had

to put a ton of stuff on hold. Then he came back and we had a we had a fight, and they had to put more stuff on hold. And not only that, but you know that m JF and Punk was supposed to be the top storyline punk was gone, so they had to to redo everything multiple times. Uh, starting in May through today. Hopefully now this train is back on the tracks and uh, and we can move forward because there were a lot of there were a lot of potholes, there were a lot of twists and turns,

not all of which were great. And uh and hopefully now everything's gonna be back on track. But we'll talk more about the show and a ton of news after the break. Observer lived back the show. Brian Elbert is here Wrestling Observer Live. Some notes from Dave on full gear Wrestling observer dot com. Dave melts really back by the way, I think tonight, If not tonight, for sure Wednesday. But Dave notes have made a vent finished with Regal

heading MGF. The nuts was Tony's idea. You can look back at the last several weeks of the build up see the signs leading to it. Appears from the press conference MGF and Regal will be a heel champion pairing similar to Kenny Omegan Don Kallis. There was another finish brought up by several of the most influential wrestlers. He says, we don't know what it was, presumes MGF winning was not the question. It which just a different way to get there. It was an alternative way of getting there.

Con was strong on his finish. That comes strong on his finished that the direction this goes. I know for sure there were people in the company that also believed that he should have gone full baby face. What the alternative finish was, I don't know, but I do know

that people there were people that thought that. Regarding the pay per view number, Con noted to us regarding his comments last night, it was based on what they have now looked similar to All Out, which you would consider a success if it ends up in that realm without CM punk. All that was a hundred forty thousand, last year's full gear hundred fifty five thousand. Most did not expect the show to have a shot at beating last year's numbers. Other full gears were ninety and hundred thousand.

Show was announced in the years a sellout standing room only. It was actually a near sellout, six hundred shy of what would have been a full sellout for a pay per view. It did top one million dollars one million, forty thousand for the gate w W E tops is on every pay per view show as well. These days greatly topped it for stills like Clash at the Castle

and WrestleMania, which topped eight mill in historically. Aside from the five a W seven figure gates this year, there's only been one other non w w E million dollar gate in U S Pro wresting history, which was MSG's New Japan Ring of Honor show. A few shows for w CW would have done that if you adjust for inflation, but in um whatever the term would be uh in nineties dollars. At the time, no w c W show

ever broke one million dollars at the gate. They came very close, but they never did a one million dollar gate in nineties of money. Wayward son by Kansas that the Elite used last night will be the trio's entrance music won't be used in regular tag or singles of matches. Young Bucks wanted the song for a long time. They

and their father were big fans of the song. They thought that the thoughts by people that had to do with the situation the past two months was something they were aware of, but the decision to use a preceded that, and in fact, when they were backyarders doing their backyard wrestling promotion, which would have been the early two thousands. I believe they used Wayward Sun as their entrance music,

So there you go. Notes from the show. Speaking of Giant gates, Royal Rumble has surpassed five million dollars at the gate, which was the previous record. They have now set gate records for three gate records for WrestleMania, Extreme Rules and Crown Jewel. So in terms of selling tickets to major events, this place is on fire and we've got Kenny Omega. Will Osbury announced for Wrestle Kingdom seventeen for the i w g P United States title. So the lineup for the show on January four were about

six weeks away. J White versus Okada for the i w GP title, will ospray Kenny Omega for the US title, tai Chi Ishi Mori and Haromu and ld Esperado and Master Watto in a four way for the junior title. FTR will be facing the winners of the Tag League, so FTR and Kenny Omega will be working the Dome

and UH and not the Seattle debut. We have got Zach Saber Jr. Versus Ren Narita in the finals of the television title tournament and the new i w g P Women's champion and we'll talk about that match on the Filthy Tom Show coming up at two Pacific five Eastern today, as well as his match at the Stardom New Japan Crossover show. Kyrie, we'll face Tom tam Nakano

for the i d g P Women's Championship. So with Kenny Omega in Japan, that means there is uh there is no UH trio's titles match in Seattle, So I wonder if the Young Bucks are also going to the Tokyo Dome. I have not heard one way or the other. And then the question is going to be about old Carl Anderson. Is he work in the show to drop that title and to win me some money? I think he might be, but we shall see. Yes, Kyrie be Mayu Iwatani with her insane elbow off the top though

they had an excellent match. Actually heard that the the Kyrie match on the Stardom pay per view on Friday was better, but I have not seen that show yet. Um, but we'll talk about that is noted on the Filthy Tom Show later on this afternoon. Being the elite is back. Now that the Elite are back, Young Bucks and Kinney return backstage in October. They are still vps, by the way, e vps. Uh they've re They've started doing whatever work they do with c vps, and uh what that is,

I actually have no idea, but they do it. And then uh, they talked about some some stuff on BT. We're officially back. We however, have been technically back backstage for a few weeks. But now we've been on screen, We've wrestled, we've done it. We are back now being the Elite is back and everything is kind of back to reality, said Matt Jackson. You know what, I don't feel like we were officially back though until last night at Full Gear. We were around for four weeks, but

it didn't feel like it. There was something missing, I think, and I think that's something missing was us performing live. So we did that. We scratched the itch. We are back. He said that people don't understand because we haven't been able to really talk about it. But this has been to the hardest months of my life, said Matt. I know Nick two and my family here we are. We got through it. You just never know what's gonna happen

until you do it. Just hear the support last night and to hear how happy and to see how people a lot of people were to see us. It really meant the world to us and Kenny. It felt good. You know, we're going through the healing process right now, but I think last night was a big step for

us to get there. It felt good. I did hear the backstage, like everybody was so happy after that match, hugging, just happy that it was over and that they were back and uh, and really a feeling that, you know, one of the things missing on Dynamite for the last several months. You know, we talked about the uh booking going like this, it was also just you were missing Young Bucks matches, you were missing Kenny Omega matches and uh,

and it was a hole in the show. I mean there were still great matches and everything like that, but you know, these Dynamite shows with Death Triangle, Young Bucks and Kenny Omega week after week after week. I mean, the matches are gonna be great, but I'm also looking forward to It's I don't know this, but I feel it's not just gonna be Hey, let's go out and

have a great match. Every week there's a story that's going to be told here and and what that story is, you know, I predicted for the show that the young Bucks were going to win and that the death triangle was gonna split up when Penton Phoenix turned on Poc and they didn't do that, and they had to finish where Phoenix used the hammer and got the win. But as noted the way that they did it, Phoenix didn't

want to use the hammer. He was offered the hammer earlier in the match and he threw the hammer away. He was all groggy, he was being lifted up on the shoulders pack shoved the hammer into his hand and he got up there and it was like I either die or I hit this guy, but bam, he hit him and he was sad about it towards and so

they did that finish. But now they have a story that you can carry out through the rest of this best of seven where my presumption is when it ends, it'll be what I predicted for this weekend, which is the Elite wins the title and uh Pock ends up breaking up with Penta and Phoenix and they go their separate ways. Um, there are other things you can do. I mean. Dj here notes that Penta didn't seem to

mind the usage of the hammer. You know, I don't know what pent and Phoenix feel about them splitting and doing a series of matches which I'm sure would be blow away matches. Brother versus brother usually doesn't work in pro wrestling. Maybe this would be exception, or maybe they don't go that way at all. I don't know. Former you say. Heavyweight champion occasional professional wrestler Kane Velasquez as A requested permission to be part of Triple as or

turned to the US on Saturday, December three. He is out on one million dollars bail on attempted murder charges from a February incident in which he allegedly chased down a man fired a weapon into a truck that contains several people, one of them being a man who allegedly sexually assaulted both his child and one of a relative.

In Santa Clara County Court on Monday for an arrangement uh Velasquez in his legal team as Judge Daniel Nishigaya for position up permission to wrestle at the Promotions Tempe Arizona show, their first in the country. Since they ran New York City in September of twenty nineteen. Now, if this show we're being held in Mexico, I would say no chance zero they're gonna allow him to go to Mexico, go over the border. But if the show has taken place in temper Arizona, I think it's possible they're gonna

let him do it. So we shall see. They've been

discussing involvement. According to Mark Romnde since last week, released on Bail November eight, he'd wrestled for Triple A three times before and also wrestled for w w E that that Crown Jewel match against brock Lessner where he did that match one house show and then they fired him and Uh Caine v Alaska's loves Luca and uh and I honestly think he's better suited for h Luca matches in Triple A than than for w w E. But we'll see if they let him do it, that's gonna

be the big question. Bryan Danielson says what brings him joy in wrestling these days giving back to the business and helping younger talent. What I feel my job is in wrestling at this point, He says, is service. That's what actually brings me the most joy, me being champ anything like that. They really wanted me to be a champion of a w really wanted me to be a champion or whatever. I do it if they thought it was good for business or whatever. But that's not what

inspires me or what brings me joy. Being able to get back in the ring with a younger talent, being able to give back all that kind of stuff, that's the stuff that brings value to my life now, especially as an older wrestler or someone who is forty one. I laugh because if you watch his matches, it's just violent torture of these young guys, just pummeling and killing them. And that's what brings him joy. That brings us to the next next couple of shows. I actually don't have

a RAW lineup for tonight. What the hell is happening on Raw? Anybody know? Check it out real quick, see if they've got anything on their their website. Here Oscar and Ria Ripley dig into the trenches for the war games advantage. So that's right, they're resting tonight for the war games advantage and anything else. Huh, who cares? I can't find it. Maybe there's more. I'll move on n x T tomorrow, Everybody's favorite show. We have got Wes Lee defending the n x T North American title versus

Carmelo Hayes. Wendy Chew will be facing Cora Jade, Ivy Nile faces Keana James. Scripts will be revealed tomorrow, and Toxic Attraction is going to kick off the show. Maybe we'll find out who is next to have a long series of matches with Mandy Rose and come out on the losing end, or maybe someone will beat her get it over with. We'll talk about Dynamite after the break ups are life back in the show Bright nowver is here Wrestling Observer Alive. I am happy to announce that

tonight we will have Dave Meltzer on the show. We're doing a show tonight. He's in Hawaii, so we'll just have a smiling picture of Dave up on the screen. But we'll talk all of the news. I don't think you can watch rob but fear not, I got it and everything else, So that's coming up later on tonight. Wrestling Observer dot Com also video dot f w online dot com. In an hour, Filthy tom joins US video dot f W online dot com. He's in Japan right now.
