Hey, this is Brian Alvarez and this is today's edition of the Wrestling Observer Daily podcast on the eight Side Network. Ready, ready, let's get it all. How's it going, everybody? Brian Albarez here on Wrestling Observer Live. We are here every day Monday through Friday, Noop Civic three Eastern, Sunday three Pacific, sixth Eastern. It is Wednesday, and this program, you know that means we got Dynamite, a e W Dynamite coming up here tonight. And you know what else is coming
up soon me on video. We'll get that figured out here in a second. But anyway, here, hey, here we are. Hey, we got dynamite coming up tonight and a lot of things a w related. There have been some hirings, there have been some promotions. Tony Cohn did an interview with Sports Grid talking about recent w w E changes, most notably the retirement which was actually a resignation of Vince McMahon and uh and we also got the full lineup
for the show tonight. Eight scheduled segments, including just added a interview segment with John Moxley and You're not gonna go wrong with in a interview segment with John Moxley. So we'll talk about that as well as the raw ratings for Monday Night, which man, I love. I love posting ratings because then you can you can look through my mentions and find out how he should mute and or block. He has a fun day. We'll talk about that, and uh, we got Connor McGregor getting a major movie role.
And we have got to the n x T Television report. Now have you been watching Ron SmackDown. There have been a fair number of noticeable changes on Ron's SmackDown. I cannot say the same for n x T. The only change it was visible to me at all on this show is that they have turned Katana Chance and Caden Carter back baby face. We've been watching the show less several weeks. They've been acting very hellish but hundred percent baby faces now. So we'll talk about that later on
as well. Lots to get into back in a moment. Observer Live back on the show. Bright Over is here Wrestling Observer Live like Simper BT also Wrestling Observer dot Com. I want to quickly talk about the raw number here today because the show did very, very very well and as bullish as I am on w w E. Everyone went a little too nutty on Twitter about this number. Here's deal, everybody, and it's probably gonna be the same thing with n x T. Tonight. Raw had no commercials
in the first hour of the show. That is nine of the reason the show did as well as it did, So people losing their minds at Vince's gone, We're going back to these now you had a you had a commercial free first hour, and as a result of that, our one did two point four three million viewers. They did.
Here's the good news. They did keep two point to nine million of those fer hour two and one point nine seven million for hour three, So if you're looking for good news, I mean the good news is they did an excellent job holding the audience over three hours,
So that's good. But you know, unless they're gonna do a commercial free first hour every week, you are not going to regularly be seeing, at least anytime soon, two two million viewers every week for Raw and a point six one in eighteen to forty nine, best number since WrestleMania, which did a point six three. Obviously the day after Summer Slam was a factor as well, so the number was inflated, but they did do a a pretty good job, especially that you know the third hour decline. They've had
some bad third hour declines. Two point three million to two million is not that bad. It's still lost three hud people. But I do believe that part of the reason that they held those viewers, and it's it's actually common sense. If you do a first hour with no commercials, it does a huge number because people don't tune out during the breaks. If you normally do a third hour where in the last half hour there's about seven minutes of wrestling and the rest is commercials and video packages, yeah,
that hour is gonna absolutely tank. They didn't do that this time. They still like commercials in the third hour, but that insufferable period where for thirty minutes it's entrance commercial, entrance video package, entrance commercial. They didn't do that. So I think that helped helped cause the third hour to decline less than usual, but good number. It won't be that good next week, but overall a positive. Now, who
were these people that filled your timeline with? Actually I didn't I didn't even read any of the um any of the comments. But but the way it works on Twitter, I don't even know why I mentioned this before. So if I post something and you know, a thousand people write something, goofy, and my mentions for some reason, like a dozen of those will just end up on my normal uh when I go up to you know, check my timeline. But it's it's like a random doesn't don't
even know why. But anyway, I was just scrolling through today and oh, you know great number. Oh my god, Hunter's gonna turn it. Oh this is no. It was a commercial free first hour that was nine of the reason and of course SummerSlam no angry a w Fans were saying, this is all a craziness. But if you watched n x T, they also had limited commercial breaks they did, Yeah you didn't notice. I like this show
and I was like, god, this show is long. Yeah, there were no commercials in the first half hour and then they did some commercials, and I think the second hour there was like a long period with no commercials, like bro this staying forever to get through the show. So I'm not a fan of limited commercial interruptions. I want as many commercial interruptions as possible so I can fast forward through them, preferably not during matches. A little man, they did a commercial. I'll get to an x T later,
but I think it was what match was it? They did a commercial break and they came back during the match, and literally the first thing we saw was a botch spot. Many rose and say the match started during a commercial, and so they come back from the commercial and the first move you see is Sarai is coming off the top and I guess, I don't know if Manny was supposed to catcher or what, but Sarai hit Mandy and
fell down, and then Mandy stumbled and fell down. That was the first spot that we saw when we came back from the break. So we'll talk about that later. A Double announced on Wednesday they are expanding their talent relations team, promoting four familiar names within that group and bringing on former Impact women's wrestler Madison Rain as a coach for the women's division. Rain begins her new role tonight, thirty six years old, part of the Impacts lasted of
tapings in Louisville. She lost to Musha Slamovic and miaum uh Sanjay, qt at Buck, and Tony Shavonni have all received promotions, three of which are to the vice president level that is now the VP of Production and Creative Coordination, where he will coordinate communication of a w storylines, liaise between post production and key staff. That's a lot of words. He got a promotion. He's gonna go back and forth the stuff describe as liaise en Roll. Marshall is now
VP of Show and Creative Coordination. He does a lot of words as well. Buck is now VP of Talent Development, where he also a lot of liaising going on. Apparently you make more money to liaise. I was unaware of that today. Yes, you do. You are very valuable when you can be the sav between wounds and such. Shavanni received a promotion as Senior Producer and Special Advisor to Talent. Chris Daniels will continue to serve as Manager of Talent Relations.
To announce any of those did they mean to? Did no? Did they need to? It's not like they're a publicly traded company or anything like this. I understand why if there's a part of me where it's like all you did was give everybody online, if something happens somebody else to tag about, what are you gonna do about this? When it comes to your role of this and that it's like I don't know. I guess it's a good thing. Though if you look at it from the aspect of
he's obviously trying to delegate authority. I would assume that's what this is about and try to make things a little bit easier on himself, considering he's the last call for these sorts of things. So yeah, Tony kNN believes that new people in charge of w w E is a good thing. Well, we're on the same page. N spoke to Sports Grid on the recent changes. He said, quote, it's going to change the competition, but I think that's a good thing. A w has got a big fan base.
We're a hundred thirty countries now around the world. Here in the US, we've built a great fan base. That petition is going to change. It's a different person in the chair opposite me. But I don't think that's going to be a bad thing for the wrestling fans necessarily. Well, it's definitely not a bad thing for the wrestling fans, and you know what else, not a bad thing for the wrestlers either. Con also said the move benefits wrestlers themselves,
probably more so than ever. He said, I imagine that great wrestlers are going to be in demand again. I think it's probably gonna be good for the wrestling fans because that's going to be one of the most exciting things about pro wrestling free agency. It's one of those things that was really missing from the sport for almost two decades. For a w came in because there was
not a legitimate competitor in the free market. Was one of the worst things I think that happened in American sports in my lifetime when WCW closed down, well, in terms of wrestling, sure as heck, was one of the worst things. So you know my my prediction very quickly, you know, my Mike, in the in the short term, there's gonna be some it's gonna be a bumpy road for a w because you know, w has got money and they're going to be looking to get some people. And I think that and I know this, this is
not I think because I know this. You know, there are a lot of people that two weeks ago would not have been considering strongly going to w w E, whereas now I think that they are open to the idea. And furthermore, I mean we've seen small changes, small positive changes. If these if we continue to see positive changes. The number of people that are willing to look at w w E is going to be even bigger, and the number of people that are at least considering it, uh,
they may more than consider it. So uh, you know, the Cody thing was very important. As we talked about Cody goes there, it gets buried, that would have been bad times. They pushed Cody to the moon. That opened a lot of people's eyes. And but mostly the people that were like bigger, you know, the w w E style guys. Now, even if you're not a w w E style guy, I mean, you could get an opportunity.
So it's gonna be tough in the short term for a w but in the long term there's gonna be too many people in too few spots in a W or in w w E, and then there will be people looking to go to a w if they've got a good television deal with money. So anyway back in a moment, we'll get Mike's thoughts. Observer Live. Actually the show bright Over is here, Wrestling the Observer Live. I'm just I'm just we have our chat here and uh, some of them just cannot Cody things overblown. Listen do
you think people are dumb? Okay, a guy left a W. He walked into w W E with likely a seven figure deal as a main eventor with his a W character and got to push. You're telling me you don't think anybody in a W went Wow, that's intriguing. That really opens my eyes there. Well, I can tell you
because I heard from them. Okay, but you know, if you don't believe me, you can use your own brain and see that that would be intriguing for people, especially because before he showed up, remember we here, Oh he'll be chasing seven title. Oh I wonder if he'll be star dust? Remember all that? Well that didn't happen at all. The exact opposite happen, even kept his music. You don't think that opened anybody's eyes. Do you think these people
are dumb? Come on, it did. Now It's not the end all and be all, because he is Cody Rhodes, and he was there before, and there is a relationship and he is the first guy back, and so there's all these things where what works for one may not work for everybody. But it's a new page is turned. And I know people don't want to hear that. They don't want to hear about these changes that may or may not slowly get made and all that other stuff.
I know they don't want to hear about it, but tough, You're probably gonna have to hear about it, because I'm sure they do in the next couple of years want to put their best foot forward when it comes to talking and dealing with talent number one, for all of the things that have happened in that company and the culture that is currently being investigated, maybe it's time to, like,
you know, change some things there. But also because they look at m JF and they look at other people on that roster powerhouse Hobbs, and they look at other people and they go, we may want to have those folks. And now Vince is out of the way, and now Uncle Paul is here. You remember what Uncle Paul did for n x D. So are we gonna see massive wholesale changes? I don't know, as see him Punk City, he doesn't think there's going to be any changes in
the culture whatsoever. We'll have to see. But the Cody odes the whole deal with him. And granted he also has a character that fits perfectly in with W W E and I think m JF. There's other people that do. Some other people may not be so lucky, but it at least is giving them an option where in a big option that you may have something to kind of, you know, compare yourself against compare the company you're working for. Again.
So look, everybody's gonna throw their flags down over this, and they have been and they will continue to do so. But one thing about talking about the death of w c W as somebody that was a big n W A fan and grew up with Crockett Promotions and was a bigger w c W fan for quite a long time, and try to hold onto that ghost for as long as I could. Yeah, it was bad for the wrestling business that it died, but it needed to die like it did. And in the hindsight, being all as many
years later, you look, you gotta leave scorched earth. Was the whole thing about killing a territory was you left scorched earth in most cases, and you had to kill everything to rebuild it back up again. And you see the direction that Ring of Honor took things you saw because there were no options, but ways to watch things became easier, you know, lime, Well, I heard all these things of where you would download Japanese wrestling shows and
that became more of a thing. So all of that, the rise of m M A that was taking place during that time that nobody really remembers now, but the Pride in the k One and all that sort of, all of that stuff, all of it was essential and
necessary to get us to where we are today. So as sad as that was, and as much as it sucked for a lot of people, including people that lost jobs who had lifetime jobs in the business and wanted to have jobs in the business, yeah that was sad, but it needed to be done to get us to
where we are now. All right. We got the Dynamite Show Tonight, un Disputed Elite Return, thunder Rose and Tony Storm versus Britt Baker and Jamie Hayter, A Christian versus Matt Hardy, Powerhouse Hobbs in Action, Jericho versus Wheeler, Utah Winter faces Moxie for the Inner World title at Quake by the Lake on August, Come on, what we should actually want You by the Lake shows. I just don't understand why they name every show. I understand it if
it's a charity event or something like that. But it's like we have subtitles for every show. Now, it's not just show. There's no there's no special show tonight, it's just Dynamite. We're building to Quake by the Lake. I guess we are, Yes, we are. You want to run a pay per view every month? I don't. I'd much rather have three. I don't want to every other show for no reason, even on every other show, bro n XT does the same thing. They got heat Wave in
two weeks. Mr uh whatever. The name of your podcast is the other one you do, Adam Milt. You like New Japan, I like it's funny every single solitary New Japan Strong show has a name, every single solitary one of them, not every other week, not once a month. It's ignition, it's retribution, it's fascination. It's my stupid goofy
names to have for these things. Ever ever thought, by the way that that it's run by an analytics guy who probably uh sees that when you actually name it a special name, it does better than you know e that that. So if it does better, why doesn't he do every show that way? Maybe he could title Rampage that way and more people you know what, if Christmas is special, let's just do it every day. It'll be special every day. I'm trying to give you a business
lesson here. Oh yeah, let me know. Are you trying? But you're not listening? USD star Connor mc gregor said for his first movie role, Amazon Studios announced Wednesday, McGregor will be playing a role in Prime videos reimagining of the film Roadhouse. I'm Angry. The movie will begin production this month, will be available on Amazon Prime Video when it's released. He could watch it then get angry maybe to be better. Don't know. Most of these remakes are
not better. These reimaginations of things just never seemed to work out for me. Okay, in Roadhouse, why do you? Why do you defecate on the classics? People? You funny about this? By the way, you know it's funny. What Jake Gillen Hall or Jillen Hall, depending on how you want to pronounce it. Uh, you know what he plays in this Roadhouse? Who? He plays? A former UFC fighter. Butconor McGregor's got another role. I guess he's I guess
he could be a former. Yeah, you'll probably play the role that Rohnda Rousey played, which he made remade Roadhouse. You know they've remade this before, don't you? Did they actually remade this with Rohonda Rousey? Where have you been? Bro? Well? How was it? I didn't watch it. I haven't even seen the first one. That doesn't surprise me. You should have got better things to do, like watch n x T two point oh and Tuesday Nights. Yeah, think about
subtitles for the Brian and Vinnie Show. Connor McGregor is very excited to expand his storied career to Hollywood in this reimagining of Roadhouse, A beloved classic god person Karen Kessler Pop proper twelve bottles are gonna be getting thrown everywhere in this, isn't it? Well? Probably maybe he'll work for free if they do that, because he's a businessman. Oh yeah, I'm sure. The only way he's working for free is if it's on work release. Again. The only
thing I want to know is who plays Morgan? Who plays Terry Funk? And will Terry Funk be in this movie? Probably be McGregor. I need Terry Funk in this movie, even if it's just one cameo. You go to his house, You just show up there put the camera on him. I don't care how you do it. Get the funker. In that movie, this person says only suckers work for free. You know who says something like that, someone poor, And here we go making fun of poor people. I'm not
making fun of him. I'm pointing out. I'm pointing out if if you, if you own okay, if you own a distillery or whatever whatever, you would say that he owns for his proper twelve And they say, listen, uh, you do this role for us, and we'll have proper twelve all over this movie. It'll be every everything anybody drinks will be proper twelve. They'll hit each other with
proper twelve bottles. Uh. At the end, the hero there's a proper twelve bottle to you know, ignite the motorcycle, whatever, whatever. That's a good deal because you're gonna make way more on your proper twelve than he's gonna make two. Uh for his first ever movie. You think this guy's making twenty million for this movie? Not a chance, not a chance. What do you think he is? The Rock? No, the Rock didn't have anything that many legal bills. Yeah, I mean he doesn't me does not know do not have
that many legal bills. That's true. Oh my god, a million dollar Chico, twelve million dollars. Baby, I've worked for free before. Actually we're for free on these cameos. But you know everything, every little bit counts when when some of that going to trickle down, it doesn't trickle down, Mike, Yeah, I'm willing to work for it. What do we need to do here? Boss? Have we set it up for you? Oh?
My own? Wait, didn't you laugh at the thought of me doing a cameo, including directly saying who would actually buy a cameo? Never do that? But you know what, if I get a cut, I'll set up your cameo for free, because it's sometimes I'll gladly cut you. I'm gladly all right after the breakwin top at n XT two point. But let's seeing the text message've been here very quickly. Oh, this person is talking about the draft. It's a good question what are THEYNNA do with this
draft and brand extension? Because Vince pretty much gave up on it. But Hunter's back and they didn't have you know, there were I guess there were some SmackDown guys. Well, the fall seasons coming you know September October, here one new thing on n x T last night, the intro to wrestler and went to picture and picture intro the second wrestler and started the match also in picture and picture. Let's do more of that, put the less important stuff
during the commercials. Well, that was a slight production change, but I don't know. They also, you know, they had to do a lot of commercials because they did a commercial free half hour. This stuff all has to be you know, made up for Look, I prefer that more than the we're gonna introduce somebody go to break comeback video package, all that sort of stuff. But if that's working for them as annoying as it is for me, that's then it's workin Well, let's go to the Break
Observer Live. Well, let's talk about n x T two point oh everybody. There's some good stuff on this show, but there was also some stupid finishes. Not a fan of stupid finishes, but what can you do? Believe it or not. The opening match with Katana Chance and Caden Carter Toxic Attraction. You listen, Leone and Valentina ferraz at Ivy n Aisle and Tatum Paxley in a four way elimination match for the n x T women's titles. Dude, this match was impossibly good. I thought this was going
to be a disaster. Looking wise, it was a disaster because somehow one half of the former Take Team champions wasn't allowed to choose a partner to be in the match. But I don't think there was one botch spot in this entire match. Everything everybody tried they pulled off. Even uh you listen to and Valentina Ferras, they had all these dives to the outside, they all look great. Places going crazy, and uh, it comes down to the end
two Uh who was it? It was obviously Chance and Carter and uh yeah and J C. Jane and G. G. Dolan. So it comes down to those two teams. And they went back and forth for a while, and finally the baby Faces hit their finish off the middle rope, the combo fIF splash. This place went crazy when they won these titles and they're crying in the ring. There's a
total baby Face moment. For whatever reason, they've been doing angles the last several weeks where they were they were acting helish, and I'm like, they're turning these two heel well, apparently that's been that's been changed because they won these titles. They cut a total baby face promo later they're so happy, they're crying, so great opener and no come herstals. So first half hour, I think there were no commercials on this show. Did you did you think your girl Katana
Chance afterwards? Uh shot the whiskey and let loose like she likes to do. Of course they did. You know what I was thinking? You know? Uh? In Japan, Uh, they have certain wrestlers where you know their name, like Sonata, It's it's Sonata in all caps. One word. I think that I think that her name should be Katana Chance with an exclamation point, and every time that she comes out, it's like Max dupret how they have to say it
like that. The announcers in the ring, the ring guy, I think that they should always announce them coming to the ring Caden Carter and Katana Chance with an exclamation point. But should Tatum Paxley be all lower case except for the packs part that should be capitalized, where it's Tatum Paxley tam No, I can't do it now, let's do
it later. We had Carmelo and Trick. We're celebrating Carmelo's birthday, and Carmelo he shoot an open challenge and Giovanni Vinci starts shrutting down in the ring to accept, and Nathan Fraser zooms by him and jumps in the ring and steals his open challenge. It was bound to happen at I like this Nathan Fraser. He when he when he first started out as like what is up with your hair? And you know, a good worker, but what is going on here? This guy is totally I've turned a corner
on him. He's he's just whacky enough. He's got a personality. He's got a weird, quirky personality and even the hair like fits this quirky personality. And he's a great worker. So Nathan Fraser Carmelo Hayes had a very good match, and uh he did not win the title. U there was interference from Trick Williams actually was Giovanni Vinci's at the desk and they had some big shebang and he
ended up getting water spilled on him. So he got angry and he shoves Fraser off the top rope and then uh, Hayes hits the guillotine leg drop and gets the win. So good match sets up Giovanni Vinci and Nathan Frasier. We had, uh, God help me, horrible segment God, braun Breaker and j D mcdack can we get this match over with already? So braun Breakers out there and uh,
JD mcdonne's in the ring. They're gonna do a contract signing or whatever, and j D mcdonneh's just troning on and on and the crowds doing a boring chant and finally braun Breakers like, can we sign this contract already? And j D says, well, I know the challenger normally science first, but and I like you too, and so Bronze, can you this thing? And he grabs the thing and he actually made this this uh, he made this comment.
I can't remember what the comment was. It was something like, is this something that you can't beat me in size or ability? So you're trying to beat me with your brain? So you're dumb, that's what you're telling me, braun Breaker. You're a lunkhead. So anyway, he signs a contract. Then he hands it back to j D mcdonnaugh, who's supposed to be like, you know, he's just he's a surgeon. He's a butcher. He's gonna take these guys apart. So J D mcdonneh, I think, uh, dude, isn't it What
are those pens that you poke? Like if you're gonna get a blood sample, you know that I'm talking about that. Give you a pen? Well, J McDonagh gets his pen and he goes chink on his finger and Braun break Crafts act like kind of creeped out, like this guy poked himself with a pin. Now there's a drop of blood, and so you know, mcdonnah pokes himself to get a
drop of blood. And he signs a contract in blood and he's supposed to be like a tough, creepy guy, but then like his hands are shaking as he hands the contract back, like I don't know if he's squeamish of blood or something like that, but he didn't look like he was comfortable doing this. But his character is supposed to be anyway, this whole thing just sucked and can we get this over with already? I'm sick of his feud. Pasha MANI has showing him putting in the
blood capsule before he was shoulder blocked last week. I think this actually might be worse than uh what's his name the last few that he had with gay Gaycy. This homide needs to get back in his car and drive back to the UK and Ireland. And I want Jordan deviln back or something, because this has been a miss for sure. We had Mandy Rose and Sarai and uh Man Surai. You know she's good, but not here. I don't know. It's not her, it's Mandy. Watch this match.
Watch this match, and just watch many Rose. If there was ever somebody who is so sick of being someplace and they just want to get out of here and they and I think she actually didn't interview recently where she's talking about she wants to go back to the main roster. She's so over it, and you can tell watching her matches. Her bumps are terrible. The match was not good. Well, you know what, that's not a good way to get out of there, considering that you were
down there for a reason in the first place. And they give given her so many extra chances because she's beautiful and all the fitness magazines and all that rigamarole. Fine, they have a zillion great athletes on that roster. Now that would look good in fitness magazines, who may be actually coming along and becoming a better wrestler. The only saving grace that she's got is to put her on the main roster, put her with Sonia, and that's it. They're a lifetime tag team. That's how people like them
the most. That's how they're going to be most effective. Other than that, you know, I don't want to see anybody lose their job. And I'm sorry get out as a fan, as if you were somebody watching, I would rather see somebody else have that position, have that time, have that spot. It's crazy. So so I got here with a jumping knee and pinned and then Rose was gonna beat her up, and uh outrage Zoe Start. Zoe Starts,
gotta beat her for the title. This Zoe Start. She's good, she works well, the fans love her, she's got passion, she's got a beat her. Another one with triple H coming back. That was somebody who benefits from that big time. We had a Tiffany Stratton vignette. They put her back in her leo so she could do some gymnastics and she does a bunch of flips and everything like that, and then she goes time to go shopping, and off
she goes. This is good, this is good. She did mention Wendy Chew and showed her rolling around and having nightmares. Then we had Duke Hudson beating up Axiom backstage and they end up rolling down of the ring. Axiom challenged them to a match. Duke Udson's beating him up, beating him up, beating him up, and then Uh Tilt the world victory roll Axiom pins the guy and big pop. Duke Cutson has a sell it like he's he's all angry that he lost. So hey, Brian does every win
for Axiom a textbook victory. Yeah, I guess because he's smart, it all adds up. He ain't working because he's a mathematic issue. We don't know that you can't add up nothing and nothing get nothing. We had the Creed Brothers versus Tony D'Angelo and Stacks, So the story was that Roderick Strong was supposed to be there, but we just
didn't show up. So the Creeds have to go down the ring by themselves and Uh they had a good match, and the finish came when Uh D'Angelo is down in the corner and uh, somebody is uh uh they slit him something. It's crowbar like the cane, yeah, and so he goes to grab the cane, but then all of a sudden he looks up and there is a returning Santos Escobar, and Escobar punches him out with the brass nuts. Stumb stumbles backwards, gets pinned by Julius because they pinned
Julius last week. Julius gets a big win with a sliding lariat and this is leading to Escobar in D'Angelo one last time coming up in two weeks of this heat wave, show them pulling stacks out of the ring on the other side of that so he couldn't make to save it like mock one, and they cut to the shots that you don't see it, but it's like, I hope dude got his knees down because otherwise he face planted really hard. We had a great Roxanne Perez
video because Roxanne Perez a baby face. She's so nice and sweet and she's doing this promo and it gets to the point where she has to talk about how Cora Jade called her a selfish be So there they build up to the spot and then she goes you called me, and they cut to a shot of Cora Jade saying it because you know, she's so pure she can't say the word, and so they keep going and then all of a sudden, she launches into this tirade on Cora Jade, and they don't cut away, and she calls, okay, anyway,
this was a great promo by Roxanne, a great promo, And then they go to Jay backstage and she actually she did way better than last week, and she's ready to just she she wants she doesn't want this fight, so she's gonna turn it down. And Mandy Rose walks up and says, you know, we gotta get rid of this Zoe start. Do you mind taking care of that for me? Of course, like, what are you talking about? You're always concerned about yourself. And then Manny says, well, listen,
I'm supposed to face her in two weeks. If you take her out, you can have her shot at the women's title. So now Corey Jade is considering it. Joe Gaze versus Brooks Jensen, Hm, bro, you wanna know why this guy is a virgin? His storyline? Look at his attire. God, dude. The funny thing isn't wearing the same thing Filthy Tom wears, but he wore it's so much worse. They have this match and Joe Gazy gimmick sucks good worker and he's doing his best with this guy, and then all of
a sudden, pretty deadly runs down the aisle. They hit the ring. They're in the ring, Brooks tosses one over Larry. It's the other guy out of the ring, but you know the stupid rule, they didn't touch him, even though two men got in the ring and he had to dispose of them. He turns around into the springboard Larry and he gets pinned, and then Gacey tries to convince him to join. We had Alba Fire versus Lash legend
and uh it was okay. But listen, everybody, on the bright of any show on Thursday, I am going to lose my mind over this match. I don't want to do it here because there is an FCC, but I will lose my mind on the bright of any show Thursday only for subscribers to Wrestling Observer dot com. That's your heads up. You want to see him continue, And if you can't figure out what I'm talking about, heads up is all you need to know. And then the
main event. Well, first we had Carmelo and Tricker outside and they are helping these women fix a tire or something like. Oh. Then they go to the ring for Solosko Von Wagner. False Ken Anywhere had a good match. They had a good False Can Anywhere match. They beat the hell of each other. They brawled all over the place. They had up outside and and Solo Sicoa hits Uh it was Carmelo, and Carmelo bumps into the back of the car and he's like my hat. He's worried about
his hat. And then Solosco gets thrown into the dumpster and Von Wagner thinks he's one, but it's not a dumpster match, And all of a sudden, you see the dumpster go choke and he pops out and they brawl all over the place, and then finally he gets the wind, so he's the king of the streets again. Uh. Super Fly splashed through a table off the posts for the finish. It's good match, so overall add its ups and downs,
but I'd say they had more ups and downs. Back in a moment Was You Were Alive mentioned that Filthy Tom did in fact get his first win in the g one were you out? Yano? Yano? Just as I had just as I had advised it. Did you? Did you lend him that hair? But you know what I did not advise is him going out drinking with Diano afterwards. So I'm pretty sure Yano got his revenge before the night was over. I don't know what he was thinking.
You gotta you gotta lean into sake, uh slowly that Uh poor Tom, well, I think he's got bad luck fall a next so he does might be h bad luck maybe returning, because that's that's a big dude. And you know I love Tom and all, but he's not doing too well against these big dudes. He does much better against dudes his size and smaller. Something tells me that bad Luck Folly will not be impressed by tract Or Sister Act two. You don't know that that's true.
It was the number one movie in Japan for three weeks. He knows what it did in New Zealand, so it could be a huge fan Folly could be we had more time, I'd look up the box office in New Zealand, but in fact we don't have enough time. But that's what we've got tomorrow for as well as tonight Wrestling Observer Radio myself and Dave Meltzer. Tomorrow will be Observer
Live as well as the Brian and Vinnie Show. When I get to really get into that Lash Legend match, which is more than just one move by the way, it's it's it's it's an issue with like everything that they're doing in terms of recruitment and such.
