Brian Alvarez here on Wrestling Observer Live. We are here every day Monday through Friday, New Pacific three Eastern, Sundays three Pacific, sixth Eastern and Saturdays and the pacificed one Eastern with Jim Valley, which sounds like a place for bodybuilders. It is a Thursday here on this program, and you know
what that means. We had a lot to talk about here today, including fallout from the A e W Dynamite show last night. Will the streak continue of one million plus viewers. We're gonna find out later on today. But a lot to talk about from that show, including championship matches, champiship contender matches, yes, the women's segment in the middle of the show, and uh and so much more so.
It's gonna be fun. And you know what, yesterday I did not get to talk about n x T two point oh, But if we have time today, I can't wait, particularly to talk about Pretty Deadly, the greatest act in all of professional wrestling. Giving old Sammy Zane a run
for his money. We have updates on Tony D'Angelo the n x T ratings, and has noted not only do we have a lot to talk about from Dynamite, but they got some big shows coming up, including very soon we're gonna have like a month straight of live rampage shows. So we got a lot of matches to talk about there, and uh, of course an x T building up some stuff as well, and we've got an update on the the n x T for Mints Center after Hurricane Ian.
So a lot to get into here today. We'll also have time to take your feedback to the text message line four to five seven eight zero seven five six six. That is four to five seven eight zero seven five six six. I am Brian at Wrestling Observer dot com. Yes, I am at Brian albert is on Twitter. You can also super follow me on Twitter. You had a lot to talk about me and my super followers of late back in a moment with more abs over live back of the show. Brian Olvera is here Wrestling Observer Live.
Mike simper Viv also Wrestling Observer dot com. Hey, big best wishes everybody in or around the path of Hurricane Ian and uh, several talents not making it to Dynamite yesterday and others will likely not be making it to smack Down tomorrow. I was told that the w w E Performance Center came out of this relatively unscathed, so that is a wrestling at tie in, but still people that live in the area that we're for w w E that's still have no power. So hopefully everything gets
cleaned up soon. And uh, that's the story on that last night a w Dynamite. A lot of stuff happened on that show and whatever, Well we start with n x T. You know, you want to talk about n x T. It'll put you in a good mood, at least part of it will. I was just laughing that apparently some people are calling this the worst dynamite of all time. What. I don't know, what's up with people
these days? Yeah, really, I just don't know. I mean, we went through a whole pandemic, you remember those remember the first year, how that whole thing ended Dark Order all that. Not just that, but like, how in God's name do you have a show with Chris Jericho versus Bandido having that match in the main event and your conclusion is that was the worst dynamite of all time, not even close. But we'll get to dynamite later, you asked, So I'll talk a little bit about n x T.
There's two things I want to talk about. One Saul Ruca, God bless her, and the other it's like, we have the good in the bad. Pretty Deadly They're good, They're they're the good part of this promise. Pretty Deadly is the greatest act all of wrestling today. Tomorrow be Sandysane again. But my god, during the top percentile, for sure, somebody on the chat was like, I skipped a segment. I thought you watched n x T, But you skipped that segment. You made a bad choice, fool. This video of Pretty
Deadly was the funniest. It was just like I tweeted like they should get an Emmy just for that video. It was, so what are they doing in developmental? Why are they there? Why are they not on the main roster right now? Guys, I'm telling you you gotta go back and watch this, this Pretty Deadly thing. It was just the and they can work and they're not gonna hurt anybody, and they're overflowing with charisma. This act is
just the greatest. It's the greatest. So anyway, I gotta put that over and then you know I got it yesterday. Oh you're so mean. I wasn't mean to sal Ruca. God bless sal Ruca. This is not her fault. Why is she in the ring right now? Why don't even say well, because she's a good looking, fit blonde. They got like a dozen of those. Why is sal Ruca in the ring right now? She's not ready. I felt so bad for her having to go out on national
television and be absolutely completely exposed like that. I mean, God bless her, Like I explained it last night, And this is not a personal attack on saul Ruca. It's actually a personal assault that everybody who came up with this idea to put her in the ring. She went out there, bro I taught gymnastics for like twenty five years or something like that. This was a women's floor routine with a professional wrestling motif. That's what it was.
There was no pro wrestling involved. It was I'm going to do a gymnastics move and then we're gonna stand and look at each other, and then I'm going to do another gymnastics move and then we're gonna stand and look at each other, and then I'm gonna do another gym and eventually I'm gonna win. And I just god, why did they do this? Is this is what the judges gave it. I believe if we're going it's unfair
to her. I feel bad for her. I mean, how do you think she feels going out there and doing that and knowing I Am not ready to be doing this. It was on a tape show, by the way, so what you saw like may have been edited for all I know. It's like, dude, just hire wrestlers and let them wrestle. I'm not saying don't do the whatever deal U n I l deals. I'm not saying don't look for great athletes. But bro, if you find if you find a uh run Breaker, doesn't even count because he
grew up in a wrestling family. But like you know, if you find a Bianca bell Air, that's awesome, that's awesome. She's great. But this is just a disaster. It's a disaster. I never saw the reason to throw everybody into the pool at once. You know, Yeah, the creeds on the surface looked like they were going to have more potential because of where they came from and the type of machines they were working out and how they worked out and all that stuff. Same thing with braun Breaker. Poor
Saul Rucco falls into the Lash Legend category. Where why are we seeing this woman? Why are we seeing this woman in the ring now? Especially when you have so many other women on your roster that you are trying to form, including Tiffany Stratton, who has gotten a great start, but she is far far from you know, ready to be walking in in main inventing WrestleMania. Same thing with whoever you like, Alan Henley or Zoe Stark or whoever. They still need to be polished up in all best
case scenario before they go to the main roster. Concentrate on them. Saul Rocus sal Rucus should not be anywhere other than maybe on level up. I mean, if you look at her, she is a physical specimen. You see her standing next to those other women. I mean you look at her upper body. She is in incredible shape. Why are we being exposed to this woman now before we can even know if she can rustle, especially when you've done this with Lash Legend and his Lash legend
any better off for it. I would say, no, no, she's not. You know, hell, let's talk more about some other news here, then we'll get going. Uh, Tony D'Angelo should be back sooner than you would think. I saw the I was actually baffled they put it on television, but I guess it's a tape show, and I mean,
you got to fill up two hours. But they showed the match with him and wes Lee and he took a drop toe hold into the buckle and literally there was no twisting, there was no He just landed on his knee and it hurt and he didn't get back up and they stopped the match, and you know, God bless everybody involved. But wes Lee was nearly in tears. You know, I'm sure you were sad that your your friend got hurt everything like yet, but you must keep character. Okay,
it was he didn't break his neck. He was holding his kind of though Wesley's character. If somebody's gonna kind of feel really bad about this, it probably would be a match to determine who was going into a ladder match for the North American title. And you won. But he's a really good a good guy. Okay, listen, I understand that, like, you don't want to see the guy hurt his knee. But Bro, you're punching him, you're kicking him,
you're slamming him, you're hitting with moves. You're actively trying to hurt him throughout the match. It doesn't make any sense that you would do a drop toll hold and win a match with a drop toll hold and then cry. It doesn't make sense. Sports, Bro, Sports, That's what happens. You know, two guys are out there trying to kill each other. Somebody goes down on the field. You get that moment a reflection. Man, that could have been me. And if anybody's going to do that, like I said,
it's going to be Wesley. Now if I ever see a he'll do this. No, no, you gotta get fired right away. Bill Watts style good ut. Wes Lee was not. Wes Lee was not happy with winning via injury. This person says, well, how is he gonna win? Well, Brian, remember this is a guy that turned down an opportunity to just be put right into the qualifier. So he's he's not a break guy. Maybe he's just Okay, you're gonna you're gonna hit an INTERGEARI and brain him in
the back of the head and cover him. But that didn't hurt him in storyline. Unless you're just going to only technical wrestle, the moment you throw a strike or a throw or whatever, you're potentially hurting the other person, right who cares? The point is the good news, uh, Tony D'Angelo. It does not appear to be a serious injury. He should be back soon, so that is that is
good news. N x T six viewers down four point one percent from last week, lowest audience total for the show since August nine, the cable charts point one six. Of course, the Weather Channel topped the cable charts as a result of Hurricane Ian. So and as always, you know, my wife was glued to the Weather Channel, so this doesn't surprise me one bit when she's watching the Weather Channel. Trust me, a lot of people are watching the Weather Channel.
So that's that. And then they'll be back live next Tuesday, so we'll see where things go and we'll see what the center after took a two weeks off back in a monent, we're gonna just go right to dynamite because over live start rats so bad the walls fallen through the fre just as well the cave score me We'll
be a father. From the tweet in the cool, cool morning, turn the days to swim, say living Rode is easy, man, I can already tell, I can already tell that is the kids say, I'm gonna have to simple right for who? The women again? Oh well, you're gonna It's gonna be a yelloman's effort from you. I feel listen to everybody. Was that segment with Sorea last night? Great? No? No, no, it was? She even tweeted today that it wasn't great?
What did she say? Say? Admits she may have been quote a little rusty during her appearance on a W Dynamite. After making her debut a grand Slam Soraya kind of promo on this week's show, leading to the title match between Tony Storm and Serenade, she posted a social media on Thursday stating she is proud of the segment for showcasing quote a good portion of the women's division, even if it was not her best performance. On a good note, she said, I'm so proud of the him in yesterday.
Not only did they get more than five minutes, have a match it was the first ever lumberjack match, a woman on commentary, and a good portion of the roster being showcased. That's so win, even if I was a little rusty. Now, let's just start with an We'll talk about the full show in the next segment, because I got a couple of things to say. First off, did it make any sense to have a lumberjack match last night? No,
of course not. Now I'm gonna pull a Dave here, okay, and I'm gonna tell you why I think they did a lumberjack match. Okay, this is not me defending. Do you understand. This is not me defending the lumberjack match. This is me telling you why I think they did it. Okay. As I pointed out, if you look at the quarters, when they were just doing a random one on one women's match in the death segment, it died every week. Okay.
So they finally decide, and this did not have to do with me, but we all recognize it, we all talked about here on this show. They finally decide, you know what, we should actually try something with these women, and so they began doing tag matches with what they believed were the biggest stars in the first hour, and
you know what, it did better. And every time they did a tag match a multi woman match in the first hour, it did way better then when they did a random one on one singles match in the second hour. I hate to quote seeing punk of all people these days, but stop me when I'm lying. Okay, that's what happened. You can look at the quarters. So I think the reason I'm not defending it because in storyline, why would
you have a lumberjack match? But the reason they booked a lumberjack match, the reason Tony con put a lumberjack match on television was because he looks at the quarters and segments with a large number of women have been doing better. That's why he did it. Now, was there any storyline? No, of course not. Why would we have why is there a lumberjack I don't know. Okay. Was
Sir Riah's promo great? No? She even at one point she was trying to say I created a revolution there and I'm going to create a revolution here, and instead she said I created a revolution here and I will create a revolution here. She was not on her game. Okay, then I'm gonna hear about it. Listen, I go to the dentist four times a year. It doesn't mean I like the dentist. Okay, But let's talk about Britt Baker again because I heard all about it today. Why is
Britt Baker the centerpiece? Why is Britt Baker being pushed? Why is Britt Baker all over the show? Am I the only one? Mike? Am I the only one? No? You're not? Okay? Thank you? Thank you? Okay, I'm not saying that any point. Was the women's division ever on fire in a W? But? Am I wrong? The hottest this division has ever been was when Britt Baker was the champion? Am I wrong about that? Was it hotter when thunder Rosa was the champion? Was it hotter now
that Tony Storm is the champion? What was the hottest period of a W? It was when Britt Baker was the champion? Right then? People go, well, they never let anyone get over bro dude. Thunder Rosa beat her, and the idea was that she was going to be a huge star. She wasn't. Don't tell me they didn't try. We all watched the thunder Rosa rain. Okay, they did
not go from thunder Rosa back to Britt Baker. In fact, I don't know what everyone's talking about, but you can go up stop me if I'm lying, Go up and look at Britt Baker's win lost record of late. She's been in there putting people over. Am I watching a different show than everybody else? She was? Granted, there weren't a lot of people that talked last night, but she was by far the best talker in that entire segment last night. And everyone's like, you know, what I heard
today was that we just need something different. We need to turn her baby face and Jamie Hayter confused with her as a hell. I almost fell out of my chair. Have we forgotten Britt Baker's baby face? Run? You want to turn Britt Baker baby face? And you want Jamie Hayter, who last night the fans randomly he just started chanting her name at the top of her lungs. You want her to be the hell? Am I in an alternate universe? Here?
Britt is a thousand times better as a hell, and Jamie is gonna be super over as a baby face. And I know that people think, well, you know they're back together again or whatever, like why are they aren't they gonna do it? Listen, First off, aw doesn't do anything quick. Obviously, Britt and Jamie are going to break up, and Jamie is gonna go baby face and she's gonna be a huge star as a baby face, at least as biggest star is U a w female can get at this point. And she's gonna feud with and she's
gonna beat Britt Baker, Right, Am I wrong? I mean, I don't know, but like, is that not obvious? That's the direction we're going here. Why hasn't it happened yet? Well, I don't know. I don't know, but I do know two things, Okay. Number one, Number one, they take a long time to get to where they're going historically, Am I wrong? It's gonna be a while. They don't do anything quick. And the other thing I know, And I don't know if this is the reason, but based on history,
this could be the reason. There have been many start and stop pushes that have resulted from something happening. Okay, whether that be Remember even um Alistair Black was talking about how you know, uh I was injured and that's why everything was put on hold with the House of Black for a while. But they don't talk about anybody being injured, so no fans knew that. They just thought, well,
this thing starts and stops. No, no, no no, no, there's a very good chance or whatever is going on with Britt and uh and Jamie Hayter was also going to involve thunder Rosa, who one day showed up and said I'm hurt. I can't wrestle now. And now she's gone and nobody knows when she's going to be back. So
there's a good chance. And the reason that this began and then stopped is because they're waiting for thunder Rosa, just like we put this six man title thing on hold for like a year and a half because we were waiting. And then you know, Kenny Omega went down and they literally waited until he came back, and then four weeks later we have six man champions and then we all know how that happened. But anyway, Yeah, it was this segment great. No, was it an absolute disaster
that made this the worst dynamite of all time? No, And I don't know what's going on, Well, who cares or whatever? I've sent my piece. It ran for years. No, it was not the worst thing on the worst Dynamite ever that would be silly, but it was overbooked. You know, you go, well, why couldn't have been How could this have become a lumberjack match, because at the beginning of the show, you've had how many how many there were
what four matches, five matches? How many segments did you have where you talked to somebody backstage or something was going on where at the beginning of the show, you couldn't have had Penelope Ford and Britt Baker and Rebel and Jamie all beat somebody down or attempt to beat down Tony Storm before her match against Serena Deeve and Sorea is there and they do something where she's got a reason to make it a lumberteck match and she's
got a reason to introduce both the rosters. I'm not going to get on her about the fact that she flubbed. It happens to everybody, and it had to really suck to be out there because it was hard not to feel for because it went on painfully for so long. But the fact that that whole segment was set up to be that way and to be so whack and have her just walked by Britt on the way out and here we go with the match. You know, that's the Booker's fault. That's whoever put it put it together's fault.
And that's also where two things can be true. As far as I'm not blaming Britt Baker for anything, but Britt Baker is the only person who's gotten over there as far as a women's start else period, there has been nobody else. Thunder Rosa did not get over and who knows what exactly all the reasons are behind that, whether she was hurt, whether there was this or that,
who cares. You know, Jamie Hayter is going to because partially the association with Britt Baker, and that's not Baker's fault, but it's somebody's fault that we've gone on this long now and with the look and I understand Chris stat Lander's hurt, and that's look. I'm not discounting that at all because I think she was going to be a big piece of the puzzle. But there has been nobody else, and at some point there has got to be somebody else, no matter what the excuses are, you have got to
find somebody else. And right now Tony Storm is spinning Ruby soho I know she's hurt, but she was just sitting there spinning. Athena came in, people thought she was going to be the answer. I never thought she was, but she's just kind of sitting there spinning. So yeah, you've got to figure out something because you have that, and then you have a really powerful jade that's a completely separate cannon worms that you gotta deal with. Back in them on with the full Dynamite Review, Observer Live.
Back in the show, Bright newba is here, Wrestling Observer Live Mixumber Viva, also Wrestling Observer dot Com. I gotta say one other thing, not specifically about Brittain, but Britain, Jamie Hayter, this, this, and and many other things as well. I a thousand percent agree with people who say, sometimes the stuff goes on way too long. Sometimes you just gotta pull the trigger, even if it isn't when you
were ready to do it. Sometimes, as the Great Buddy Wayne, the late Great Buddy Wayne used to say, when it's time. Sometimes you plan for when it's gonna be time. But sometimes no matter what your plan is, maybe it's too early, maybe it's too late. And I mean the most obvious one that just pops into my head every time? Is that Julia Hart turn Oh my god, Like it was time and they held it off and held it off and held it off and and finally they didn't. It
was like, all right, let's move on now. Wasn't even like, hey, they missed the time. So yes that like people, what's the one thing you would fix about a w Well sometimes let's get to the point. Now it's less so now. But when Vince was in charge, like he created a generation of people that have absolutely zero patients whatsoever. It's like everything is paid off on the show because if not, if you don't pay it off on the show, he's gonna forget next week and is never gonna get paid off.
So like you either had to paid off immediately. Now you know Hunters more. He's more of a long term guy. But like there's a happy medium. You know, we all want longer term storytelling. It doesn't mean we want a story the last five years. Okay, if it happens to go five years, that's fine, but like don't plan out five years because god knows. You know, someone's contract expires a leaver. You know it was time two years ago, but now you've pissed you've missed the Yes, I said
that you've missed the peak, not pissed the meek. Hey, let's talk about this rampage or this dynamite show. Nopen up with the Jericho Appreciation Society coming out. No, Jake Hager, Luigi Primo is there. They're all in their outfits and whatever. And Jericho cuts a promo about Bandido being the Ring of Honor champion. He's the most honorable guy. And then we have Daniel Garcia is stepping up and Daniel Garcia is about to cut this promo. He's gonna give Jericho
peace of his mind. And Jericho says, before you speak, think about what you're gonna say, because if you say the wrong thing, I'm gonna have to take you out. And now comes Daniel Bryan Bryan Danielson and he comes to the ring and he basically tells Garcia, listen, Jericho is not making choices for you. I'm not even making choices. You make your choice, you and go with those guys, or you can come to the Blackpool Combat Club. And everybody pops like, oh my god, he's got the invite
and uh. And so it was kind of a little bit weird because Daniel Garcia was largely great, but he didn't really leave the Jericho Appreciation Society, but he did ask for a tag match. So it's going to be Daniel Garcian, Daniel Bryan, Brian Danielson again against Chris Jericho, and Uh, I think Sammy Gavarrow it's gonna be a tag match. And it may have been by design that he didn't make it clear that he was leaving. I guess,
I guess we'll find out it is pro wrestling. But then uh, Daddy Magic stepped up and he challenged Danielson, and so the opener was in fact Brian Danielson versus Matt Minard and Danielson of course beat him with the LaBelle Lock, and I thought it was a good match.
Some people, you know, the crowd, crowd wasn't hot this and that at and you know, the fact of the matter is this was you guys realized that Matt Manard tore his labor and did absolutely zero matches for like three months or something like that ever since whenever m Blood and Guts was and then uh, he came back for the one match last Friday or last week with um Hook and UH, and the the um the wabash cannonballs and uh was almost killed and then he was
basically thrown into the ring Brian Danielson here, I thought he did a hell of a job all things considered.
It was a good match, and Brian beat him, and now was at Then we had a mg F wheeler you to promo before you go on Daniel Garcia's faces as Brian Danielson is saying you can do anything you want, the faces he kind of subtly makes were excellent, which is why at the end, if you really put some logical thought behind it, you just go, why is he just punched Jericho in the face and leave like that's you know, he's almost stupid by the end of it,
you know, with whatever Jericho is going to say. And I know they're dragging it out, but I'm kind of ready for this thing to to to get to kick in. Here. Well, we're gonna see what happens when they get to kick in next week. Mike Center VV now here's another one wheeler. You two comes out and m JF. You know, I don't want to be that guy. I don't want to be that guy. But when I was telling you guys about mjf end quote New York, and you guys were
telling me that New York wasn't actually New York. I said, bro, if I'm wrong. If I'm wrong, I'll admit it wrong. But let's wait till they're out of New York, the state of New York, and we'll see what happens. Well, here they are out of the state of New York and Philadelphia. That's not New York. It means they hey anything from New York, including m J. What he got booed from start to finish part of that Jersey. Let's see what your excuses. Next week he came out in
a buffalo bills and played the crowd. You got, Well, obviously, here's the It's just like I've been saying the whole time. He's gonna go some places and people are gonna throw babies and be cheered, and he is going to have to do what he can absolutely do you absolutely do, which is control of the crowd with psychology and get them to hate him the same way a Flair would have to do it in mid Atlantic when they would cheer him and he'd go back and he'd want them
to boo him. That's just gonna be the way it is. Some crowds are gonna take to it faster than others. But I guarantee you M JF goes walking into oh, I don't know, Atlanta right now doing the same thing, he's gonna get budded out of building the same way exactly. That's my point. That's my point. What's your point? My point is your point was a long islander the said, this guy is never gonna get he's never gonna get booed again. He's gonna get cheered everywhere. He's gonna get cheered.
He I said, no, he's gonna get out of New York and he's gonna be booed everywhere, and he's gonna be booed everywhere. Well, we'll find out. But obviously, obviously he was going against the hometown guy. Obviously he was trying to that's the point. He's trying to get booed. And it worked here. Unlike anywhere in New York. Anywhere in the state of New York it didn't work, but
it worked here. I don't care how much Griselda has brought the sound back in the Feeling Back, Buffalo was not one of the five boroughs as you tried to claim. Dagan says he'll bet an entire year subscription to my super followers that MJF will be cheered again when he is not in New York. Alright, Dagan, I'll take that bet. What is the standard retail value on that? Here's gonna to do math anyway. So wheel Or you came out and I thought, and maybe I'm in the minority. I thought, Wheeler,
you you did a great job on this show. I thought he was great on the show. And uh, and they're gonna have a match next week. They had a brawl later on set it up. The fans were super into Wheeler, and I thought this all worked out great. And I will take that bet about MGF being booed in Atlanta the cat Kansas City. I thought, you're gonna go through all your wherever you live, your area codes from that ludicrous song. But you know, uh, wheel Or,
you'd thrown into the deep end of the pool. It's hard to look good and sound good against m j F. If he wanted to verbally advice rate Youda, he absolutely could. In fact, he kind of did last week and they played on that this week. But he's holding up to his end of the deal, I think right now. And that's what you want from a guy who's either going to be an important piece of R O H and or a e W. Obviously, moving forward, I did not put Buffalo in New York City, you geek. I put Buffalo,
New York. You know, you know, you know, acted like state in New York, Buffalo, New York. That's why they called Buffalo New York, Buffalo New York because it's in New York. I didn't say it was in New York City. San Francisco in Los Angeles. San Francisco's in California's Angels is in California. Try to compare. Ready is in I don't know where Ready is, but I think it's kills for people in the New York. People don't like you
for it. Oh Noxley really faced Juice Robinson and he defeated him and it was a it was a good match. Old rock Hard in there highlighted this match was John Moxley said he's gonna play Brian Danielson and dude, he threw a kick and I think he killed Juice Robinson. I don't even know how they got that guy. Back to life to finish this match, Hi howled, So anyway, you beat him and then, uh, it was a good match.
It was a good match out And I'm not a fan of stiff work, but every now and I see something stiff and I laugh because I'm a bad person. Sometimes no, because you kind of know the people and you can imagine what the conversation is taking place, either that let up to it in the moment or taking place after it. Well, you know, I know, I didn't
really feel bad for Juice because he's rock hard. We had the Sorias segment which we talked about that was I hate this thing here, something's always gotta go wrong. Where was I? We had a Soriace thing we talked about anyway, So I guess it doesn't matter. He killed everything there, didn't it? Well, I push a button. Then the whole thing just gets all messed up and we had Serena deep and Tony Storm. Well, that's the sin of what happened, is this match gets forgotten about because
of that segment of talk. I didn't forget about it. It was a hell of a match, and I it really Tony Storm is incredibly talented and so Serena deep and hopefully they can get this women's division going because they were great. Man. They they had a match and they were working hard and nobody cared. Why is Dave on the screen And then all of a sudden got a middle rope pile driver for the pin and man this place, all of a sudden, they just it's like
a w w E crowd. All of a sudden, they just went nuts and they stand up and they're giving them a standing ovation. And it worked out. That part worked out great. But you know, there was a promo that wasn't very good. Worst rim whatever. Uh, it's some more segments backstage, Ricky Starks squashed Eli Issom. It's gotta win. And then next week's the anniversary show. It is MGF versus Wheeler Utah National Scissoring Day with the Acclaimed and
Billy Gunn. And by the way, I hate to say this, but I'm gonna gonna make people mad, but at least this time I won't be making someone in w w E mad pretty deadly with scissoring years ago. It's true mg F and Wheeler you to National Scissoring Day. Luca Source will be in action, Darby Ellen will face Jay Lethal and Bryan Danielson and Daniel Garcia will face Jericho and Sammy Guvara. This led to Gal darn Dang at the main event, Chris Jericho and Bandido for the Ring
of Honor World title. Have to simp for Chris Jericho now because I will this bro, Mike and listen. I ain't taken nothing away from Bandido. This was an absolute star making performance from Bandido. The two of these guys single handedly even though there was two of them, single handedly revitalized. They resurrected r O H rose from the grave with this main event here on dynamite. Jericho's in there and he took everything. He was upside down for
fifty seven seconds when Bandido did a vertical suplex. He's taken a hurricane run is off the apron, he took the moonsalt s os lamb off the top rope. This guy has taken everything from Bandido. Bandido is just on fire. This These fans are there on their feet, they're giving him a standing ovation. And finally Chris Jericho covers his eyes with his own mask, goes for the walls, gets cradled. The guys still can't see he puts them in the walls.
Van Dido's like fighting. He can't see, so he doesn't know where the ropes are, so he's lost all hope. He taps out and as great as the match was, as great as this match was, dude, I thought the post match was better and I'll tell you why after the break. All have more to say tonight on the Brian of Any Show video do f W online dot com at nine Pacific midnight Eastern Wrestling Observer dot Com
for audio subscribers. But this match ends and Jericho calls Bobby Cruise into the ring to do the announcement, and then he grabs the mic and he he says, you know what, talks about how he's beaten Bandido, and he says that he's the greatest Ring of Honor champion of all time, and he essentially says that he is going to go on a rampage and beat every former Ring
of Honor champion. He challenges Brian Danielson to a match here coming up in a couple of weeks, and then he says, I will desecrate the legacy of Ring of Honor. I will destroy every former Ring of Honor champion. Commentator referee and ring announcer, and he boots Bobby Cruz and he gives him that back elbow. And I just watched the last few seconds of the show and I thought, Dude,
this is the greatest, easiest storyline. Chris Jericho, the dishonorable Ring of Honor, who doesn't care one bit about honor. He just wants to bring dishonor to Ring of Honor. He's gonna desecrate the title and beat all the former champions. And I was like, I can't believe it. This guy. I am now fully invested in the Ring of Honor Championship because of this angle and this match with Bandido and man I got more tonight, I got a lot more.
I was in awe, you better not turn out to be Vince with the do rag on an e c W. It's a good show, so is Dynamite. Now. I'll talk more about it tonight with Vinnie right of any show I Pacific Midnight, Eastern Video, dot FW online, dot Com, Wrestling Observer dot com as well. And hey, you should super follow me.
