back after the break with Simpy Observer Live. You were listening to Wrestling Observer Live with Brian Albarez and Mike Semperviev on the Sports Byline Broadcasting Network. Back in the show, Brian Elvarez here Wrestling Observer Live, Mike simber viv also of Wrestling Observer dot Com. Tonight is a w dynamite. I mean a lot of matches announced for the show. Get a gander of this lineup. Hair versus Hair Christ,

Jericho versus Ortiz. Somebody is getting shaved bald. I hear Jungle Boy and Luca Source will be facing the Young Bucks in a ladder match for the a W title. So it's no longer obviously the three way with the Hardies. They have not added another team. You know they could have added, but it wouldn't have made any sense with the rankings. Everything that is the site Ol Brothers because this is in their hometown and the site OL's and the ladder match would have been something else but Jungle

Boy and Huge Stores versus the Young Bucks. We got Tony Storm versus Britt Baker. We have got an All Atlantic Championship qualifier. Mirror versus Ethan Page. Wardlow faces twenty security guards and a handicap elimination match. John Moxley and Hiroshi Tanahashi will have a face to face and will Aspray will face Dax Horwood. That sounds like quite a match, Holy smokes. So that's the lineup for Dynamite here tonight.

And uh, you guys watched the show last week. Not a fan, but we'll see how it goes tonight because this is quite the lineup. Quite the lineup for the show tonight. You're looking forward to it, Mike, I am looking forward to watching a bald headed geek, not Paul Jones, but Chris Jericho tonight. You losing his hair tonight? Yes?

Do you want to make a bet? No? I actually have no idea, but I was just truly going to be a a head shaving match because we have had way too many times in professional wrestling where they say we're going to see a bald headed geek and then we just see a little trim of hair and that's it. And are we going to see just a little summer cut for Chris Jericho or will we see a bald bro whoever loses needs to be bald, bald, bald, bald, not a hair on their head. Mr Clean, you cannot

go back on these these two. Yeah, Kevin Nash when he got his hair, that's a funny about that. It's like, bro, do you guys know anything about hair? It doesn't take that long to grow. Like if Kevin Nash wanted a nice short haircut, just like you know, buck up, shave your head and two months later you'll have your short haircut. It's not the end of the world. Dude. You can

walk around with no hair. I've done it. You're going to get some angry emails, angry letters from those people suffering from male pattern baldness, those people suffering and getting keeps in the mail. Why would they be mad at me. I'm the one that said you can walk around with a bald head. They should be sending that to Nash because if he used to even go bald for two months after he lost a hair match, it's easy for

the hair to grow back for some people here. Once, once Ric Flair got his head shaved, Once Vince McMahon got his head shave, did they ever look the same after that? Yeah, Vince looks exactly the same. It's the exact same hair now exactly. It's exact same pompadour he had in I'm watching the shows. Remember when that hair started growing back, he started looking like a cone head for a while because he decided to have like a He decided he wanted like a modern haircut, so he

didn't do the old school nineteen fifties pompadour. After was like, look like Elvis. Oh God, guys, over right, great balls of fire, pal let's bring it back. They probably talked about Elvis being too skinny. Not at the end, then he would have said he was too fat Elvis. Elvis never had of phyzeke like theory. No, that's true. The only thing he had from professional wrestling was the ability to take tons of pills. At the end, d J, I, I disagree, Vince's hair actually recovered. It went back to

what it used to be when he I disagree. I disagree. I mean he got older and everything like that. And you know, somebody commissioned a study on this, because I'm telling you, neither Vince nor Rick Flair really ever looked the same once he got their head shaved. Well. Flair was losing his hair well, and he also had the face lifts and all that stuff after that. Now, Kevin Nash, was he doing that expressly because he was going to be in a movie. I think he was because he

was going to be in a movie. M hmm, I'll be why you didn't get it shaved. But then again, just call it a haircut match. It's not as exciting. But you guys don't believe me. Find a find a picture of events from like the last ten years, photo shop his hair onto his old face and tell me it looks any different, looks exactly the same. I would rather than photos really on this his hair onto your face. Tony Khan admitted that he put the kai bosh, that's the word you look at you. You skipped over to

the thunder Rose and what thunder roses story. The fact that she denied it, she responded back to you directly. She wasn't responding to me at all. I'm not the person that did the tweet saying that she's sand bag. In fact, yesterday and the show, I opened the show saying I didn't think she's sand bag? Were you here? What are you talking about? Just just wanted to have some fun with you. On the one, Tony Kan admitted he put the kai bosh on John Moxley versus Roshi Tanahashi,

happening not once, but many times in the past. He said there was a backstory with how the match came to be, saying that in the past quote, I would never allow it to happen. They tried to do it so many times. I've always been there to stop it from happening. It's such a huge match that we had to be involved. It was going to happen, he said, joking he was like Vince McMahon at Armageddon when McMahon drove out to the ring in a truck to prevent

the sixth way cage match from happening. How does this guy remember that kind of stuff? That when Rakishi got pushed, I think he got pushed and landed in the hay. Oh my god. Yeah, that ro actually got hurt on Even though it was like they tried to keep it as safe as possible, I could believe that that raw that that happened the next day would have made you believe that everybody was dead that took place. That that

was in that match, It was just carnage. Says here that concept it's fate now is the right time for this match to take place. The two will battle over the interim title. He also said he's hoping that Forbidden Door becomes an an annual event. This was in an interview with Comic Book con expressed hope that the joint comic book all one word between a W New Japan. Would it happen annually going forward? I think we're hoping

that's what it will become, he said. Ghetto and I generally anything that involves a W New Japan, I think we're both would have to degree agree on what the matchup is and what the ideas are for the show. That's good. Let's say in general, that's what we've been doing for over a year now. It's worked out really well. So yeah, probably an annual Forbidden Door pay per view. I'm sure somebody, it's a hardcore New Japan supporter is

now getting angry and upset at Tony Khan. But why would he not want a W to be involved in something like that when one of their biggest stars who happens to be one of New Japan's biggest imports. I want to get together. So hey, look I'm happy when it's happening, right now, and I'm good with that. We all last night Money Night one point seven million viewers O point four three in eighteen to forty nine, first place for the night on cable. Number was down nine

percent in viewers. They went against Game five of the never ending NBA Finals. So the interesting thing, obviously is the hourly numbers. The first hour to one eight one million viewers, the second hour to one point seven four million viewers, and then when we main invented with a pose down one point five three million viewers. A larger than normal third hour block or drop also likely the effect of the game and perhaps a lacklusser hour three.

You don't say, perhaps the pose down didn't audience drops from our one to three. We're thirty two percent in women eighteen to forty nine, which is huge, and the NBA would not have affected women as much as men. So you're telling me those women didn't care about the you muscle men doing a pose down, that's what you're

telling me. Wow, teenage girls dropped twelve percent. You're telling me that it's possible that men aren't watching wrestling for women in skimpy outfits, and women aren't watching wrestling for men. Oiled up and posing. Are you telling me that they might want more interesting? Teenage girls dropped twelve percent, teenage boys, people over fift These are all of the drops. So there you go. We'll see you say that. But the

Tuesday night numbers will be a little bit different. I assume for those I don't know what four hundred seventy thousand people are, so maybe five thousand people that will be watching n next day. What I mean they'll be different? Well yeah, they well guess actually they're exactly the same now. But you always talk about that pervy old fan base watching n x D and now don't you know it's no, no, no, they think that. Well, actually we did have that one

incidents when she talked about graduating high school. Mail popped. Anyway back in a moment Observer Live. You're listening to wrestling Observer Live with Brian Alvarez and Mike semperviv on the Sports Byline Broadcasting Network. Let's talk about n x T two point Oh already, I don't mind the show.

It's wrong with the rest of you. Alright, Well, the show opened up with the Creed Brothers against Molike, Blade and Eddress and No fe Okay, Molly Blade is the skinny one, and Eddress and no Fie is the jacked up one. And unfortunately the skinny one is a pretty good worker, he's fine. And Edressnofi is he's greener than my shirt. Oh my god. And these Creed Brothers, Dude, I love watching the Creed Brothers, you know, because it's like insane. But bro, they're gonna kill somebody. God, they're

just thrown these blokes around haphazardly. I would go as far as to say, and uh, I mean, it was exciting, but it wasn't good. It's just an exciting, wild, violent battle. And Brutus pinned Molik Blade to win the match. We had a segment backstage, very awkward meeting with indie Rock Sane and Cora Jade. Rock Sanne and Court Jade. Their gimmicks are like buddies at work the indie scene. So they're always referencing these random indies, but they never tell

us anything about him. Remember that time in New York where we uh stole my sister's car. Oh, don't talk about that story. It's like, this is a really weird gimmick. But anyway, they're gonna have a match later how he had the wackiest vignette with Apolo Cruz. So Apaulo cruises in a diner and he's like writing in his journal or whatever, because I guess he goes to the diner and writes his journal, and there's some bloke who's complaining about the slow service. And unlike me, he doesn't just

tweet about how the restaurant sucks. He's actually complaining to the person there. And so Apollo Cruz has his vision and in the vision, he gets up and he walks over and he says, is there a problem? And the guy goes, get out of my face? And so Paulo Cruz beats his ass, and all of a sudden, Apolo's back at the table with his journal. It was a it was a dream. But then the guy is still complaining. So Poula Cruz gets up and he walks over and he says, is there a problem? And the guy goes

get out of my face? And so a Polo Cruz beats his ass again. That well, obviously that's what happened. It's like, what is this? Is he nostradamus? Is he a prophet? He has visions of future beatings? This is bizarre. I'm not mean, that's exactly what happened. He's a superhero. He was having a superhero Yes, he was having a turtles struggle with himself. Bro saw that whole thing happened. And you know anything about superheroes. Superheroes are there to defend.

The week started a fight the guy didn't you? You know what you are. You are the person that everybody hates you. I'm not you are what you put on a blonde wig, Karen Wench, because you're the type a person that would do that to that server at a restaurant. Now require Apollo Cruise to be the savior of the common man to I can't wait. I can't wait till the cops show up and Apolo Cruises is cuffed and they go, you beat the absolute living hell out of

this guy? Why? And Apolo Cruz says, well, you know he told me to get out of his face. Well did he touch you, No, he didn't lay one finger on you. Nah, And he just talked to me. Thanks for thanks for routing for wrestling for everybody. Brian, and you like this show? Huh? Falon Henley against Tiffany Stratton, Well that was good. This was good until you know, Wendy to bounced out on a bouncing ball. She's distracted, uh, Tiffany Stretton, and she ended up getting pinned. I mean,

Felon Henley and Timmty Stretton are guaranteed main roster. Don't even tell me they're not, because it's totally different with the women than the men. It's totally different. You all know that they're both gonna be stars on the main roster. It's gonna be a little different. But there's Charlotte and Sasha for you, like they are generational opponents. And I actually thought the same thing in the opener as well too, because I think the Greed brothers are gonna be there

for a long time. But watching Ballade in in in o Fe, I mean, obviously I don't know where they need their benchmarks to be because they've been there for a little while and and there they have itchy trigger fingers, but they seem like they have the ability to be in that system for a long time. They have a good look. They're still very young yet, so if they survive it, I can see them on the main roster

for a long time too. We had a video package with the lash Legend about all of her her sporting success, which was like a it was like a good package and everything like that, but like everything that they had her name on it, it didn't say lash Legend. And then like none of it had anything to do with combat sports. It's like, man, I can't wait to see this. You know woman who was really good at basketball and running, the woman was professional wrestling matches, who was really good

at finishing second in track and field. And I'm not throwing that under the bus, but it's like it is kind of funny where it's like she's not like she was an SEC champion or anything grant and she's got some basketball cache to fall back on. But it's like I was second in in in this track and field competition. I'm coming here to take over a new sport. It's like to what finished second? Wesley beat Zion Quinn, Yes, he pinned him. I don't know if this bodes well

for rolls. Zion Quinn. Well, we had the Diade versus Dante Chin and Javier Javier bern All and uh the Diade they wrestled in their monk outfits or their druids or whatever. I said, you need to explain who the diet is, and the fans are chanting show your face or something like that. It's Joe Casey's two hooded guys. It's probably the grizzled Young Vats, but burgundy robes. They're wrestling in in robes now. So Tony d' angelo did a promotion video oh yea and Nikita Lions went as well.

The Lion's gonna roar again soon. Everybody Tony de' angelo with Stacks and two times. So if you're wondering what's up with two dimes, here, they tape like three weeks of shows or something like that, so I guess they just decided, you know, he'll be on the show until

we tape again and then he's gone. So he rewards them all with watches, and Santos Escobard's crew is there and they're all upset, and then Carmelo Hayes and Trick Williams come out and essentially this leads to a tag match for the main events Stacks and two Dimes against Hayes and Williams. Bron Breaker just pummeled Duke Kudson in a beautiful, all fantastic Goldberg style violent destructive match I

loved it. Bro, you gotta do this now for a while to get braun Breaker back to where he was before. You practically ruined this guy with Joe Gazy. This guy was so awesome in this match, and he killed this poor Duke Hudson fast and it was awesome. And then Cameron Grimes comes out and challenges braun Breaker, and uh, I know people were upset about this because Grimes was mentioning his father. I didn't have a problem with it. He was just pointing out, like, you know, everybody knows

about you because of your father. Everybody knows your dad. He's a Hall of Famer, but nobody knows my dad. And his dad actually was a protesting promoter, and so he's unhappy about that. He wants a championship match. So it's taking place at the Great American Bash. We had the debut of Giovanni Vinci. It is the former Fabian Eichner.

He's a great worker. I don't know if this has added one smidgen of charisma to him, but he is a and I can't figure out I think he's supposed to be a heel, but you know, he's a great fiery baby face is Giovanni Vinci, So hopefully they figured that out. But he beat Guru Raj. You look great

and that was good. We had uh this guys remember years ago when uh Carlino was lazy in real life, he was lazy, and so I guess they decided one day they're gonna have Rick Flair kind of promo on this bloke in a backstage segment and Rick Flair freaking buried this dude. He just buried him six ft under about being lazy and bro First off, that promo was fantastic. This was the exact same promo dress and no fe

and Molik Blade you know. Uh. Molik's kind of depressed that they lost and and just was like, dude, we'll get another shot. Wins and losses. They come and go let's go to the club. And Cameron Grimes watched Black Stuff and he's like, what's up? What are you guys going? Oh we're going to the club. Oh yeah, yeah, what you know? What about tonight? You know, we'll get another shot. Grames goes, will you and he buried these two? What are you doing leaving this show? Early? Look at you?

You you're you're built like a statue. You could be one of the biggest stars in its entire company. But here you are leaving the show early. You lost tonight and you ain't even worried about it, and you're going to the club. And uh, it was actually really good because Enters and No Faith was like, he was so awesome reacting to Cameron Grimes burying him because he's just shut up and he's all looking around, He's all this was a great segment. So I don't know where it's leading.

I don't know if Grimes is turning heel because he was kind of a you know, a jerk about it, but he was it was to tell the truth. So uh, this was a great segment. Hey, wherever they're going. The evolution of of Grimes is needed right about now. So

I've taken wherever they go. And then finally we had Carmela Hayes Trick Williams against Stacks and two times and it was all right, God bless uh Trick Williams, but he's he's very green, and uh, anyway, Hayes with the pin and then D'Angelo came out and yelled at Legato del phantasma, and then the mide of it was Roxanne Perez Corp Jada Indie Heartwell versus Toxic Attraction in a six person match. Also okay, it absolutely depended on who was in there. If the right people were in there,

it was fine. If the wrong people were in there, it was not good. And then at the end, I don't know what happened, but Cora Jade comes off the top with the sent on and she lands on g Dolan and do Gi starts screaming and the ref goes over to her, and uh, I think it was rock Sand gets tagged in and they had a very obvious edit and Rock Sand goes over there and she does

the old cover. I forget he used to do this cover, but the cover where you actually don't put your body on the other person at all, there's like air between you and the person you get the pin. So I think that G like heard her ribs taken this sent on, but I don't think it's I don't think it's too bad because I think she worked on the house shows this weekend. But man, she was screaming when she got hit with that cent on. So anyway, if I got I'll let you guys know. But that was the n

x T show. We can talk more about it. After the break, we'll take your feedback and more Wrestling Observer Live. You are listening to Wrestling Observer Live with Brian Alvarez and Mike semper Viv on the Sports Byline Broadcasting Network. Bag of the show. Bryan Elbert is here Wrestling Observer Live. Mike simber Vi also Wrestling Observer dot Com. Phone lines are open oh eight four four one eight four four

nine one three seven. You can text four to five seven eight zero seven five six six Bryant Wrestling Observer dot Com. Marcus here. I don't know why, but n x T two point oh is kind of growing on me. Show is an excellent or anything, but it is a guilty pleasure of mind, and there is some solid stuff on the show. I agree with every word of that, right there. Tiffany Stratton fan, Yeah, fan of a lot

of them. This person here, says Fabian Echner. Repackage is Giovanni Vinci is quite some feels like the model Rick Martel from Superstars. And I loved his last right power bomb, which would have impressed Kode Abushi. It's a good worker, yeah, very like this bloke mat He's stuck here. Well, it's kind of like Partel, who's very good in his role

aside gunter. Now he is good at doing that, but you remember him in the ring, and you remember those two together as a team, and you know, who knows what the future is going to bring, but I would love to see them back together, especially when they could use tag teams. This person wants to know if n x T is better or worse than Raw or SmackDown. Ah,

that's a good question. Depends on like what do you mean, Like if you want to see the best wrestling, the best actual wrestling, Well, the best match of the week, and on w w E has been UH seth Rawlins and aj Styles which was on Raw, and UH Shamus and Drew McIntyre on SmackDown, which both were excellent matches. Nothing you're gonna see nothing like that on n x T two point oh. And there's pros and cons of everything here, I mean three hour shows opposed to too

and all that sort of stuff. So you know, if you like w w E programming, I mean Next is right up your alley. It's not like it's alternate programming there some same way people used to call it Hunter's fantasy Ring of Honor, camp. You know, it's like, no, this is exactly the same thread going through the major shows. That's what goes through n x T. I think also with n x T is the stuff in n x

T that's bad. It is more usually funny bad that a Paolo Cruz thing is preposterous us, but it was funny, whereas like some of this stuff that I see on on Raw, it's just like that's just actively bad. It's too much. Yeah, it's too much cheese stuff on Stupid. Well exactly, and that's the obvious punch in the face that some times like you need out of comedy and stupid stuff. But the problem is they just do it so often and so much of it's not good. You are going to see you know, uh, but how can

I say it? I mean when when uh, when stuff is bad, like on Raw, when there's like bad matches, they're just like bad and boring. But on n x T two point oh, they're funny bad because it's like you watch someone do something and it's like what are they doing? Or cringe e bad because the creeds are gonna kill somebody, or you see a move that's so messed up you're you're just dying, making sure nobody got hurt.

By the way, if you guys like seeing my handsome face on video here, get ready to see it here for a while because apparently our producer's power went out, so it's just can't switch the cameras or anything. That's gonna be that's gonna be an awkward Uh A couple of minutes right here? What what? What other differences do we have between n x T and the main roster. Oh, you got a pretty smile. I don't know, get out of you. This person says, tanas she can win the title.

This is the a W title lose a count out to Yano in the g One and a pinfall loss to Lance Archer title match on Dynamite. The Tonahashi retains against Archer, and he could even beat Yano in at events in Japan. I still think Tanahashi should beat Moxley's point, I wouldn't hold your breath, buddy, Well, even if you wanted to do that, you don't have to. I don't know, you don't have to defend it in the g one. This person here's is defending baldness. He says going bald

is underrated. No haircuts, no hair combing and permission to grow a massive beard. Well, here's the thing. Yes, no haircuts, no hair combing. You have permission to grow beard whenever you want. Dude, you can grow a massive beard with hair. But the issue is that you're then you're also bald. That's the other that's the other problem with being bald. It's cooler. Yeah, so here's the thing. I'm so vain.

Hold on, hold on, no, Actually there's a big I. I I have no problem with a bald head, and in fact, I have shaved my head bald, and in fact, every summer I would love to shave my hair bald. However, my lovely wife, that's the one. That's the one thing she has put her foot down on in terms of stupid things that I've done with my my head. She does not like me bald. Second, wait a second, that's not the only thing. She also doesn't like when you

grow a beard, there's a different different button chops. She will she will, uh the word. She will still have sex with you with a beer, absolutely a beard, But she's not like, bro, can you cut the beard off? Now? Hanna laid is not like the beard. So I'm pretty much clean shaven for a while here, but the bald head. It was like every day I had to hear something about the bald head. So I would be fine with the bald head. I would be fine shaving my head.

She likes to rub her fingers through your hair. I don't know about that. Wash it very often. Nash's haircut was for a movie role and likely needed it that exact length at that exact moment. Hey, I'm back, bro. You guys know anything about movies. He could have got a haircut two months before he had to start filming. It's not like he's signed for the movie. They're like, we're filming tomorrow. You have a little bit of lead time. So he he was too vain to shave his head.

Bald who the title? That's worse that or having a match like Paul el Ring and Teddy Longhead back in the day where two bald guys were having a hair versus hair match. Well, that's ridiculous, Mike, that doesn't make any sense. That's like you and me having a mask match. That would be dumb. Let's the loser to put on a mask? Who wins the title in w W E first? Once they get called up braun Breaker or Dad He's girl.

I'll go with Thret. I go with braun Breaker. I can see him showing up and like on the first day, like beating a vaulter and winning the tiler or something. Well, that's what they probably should do, but I don't have much faith in them. His person here says, Jeff Hardy's d u I could be a blessing in disguise. Him doing a ladder match in this condition right now scared me, to be honest. Maybe he got paralyzed in an alternate universe. I don't think I didn't think thank God he's out

of this ladder match, because I did think that. But I don't like the idea that you have to get a d U I and put lives in danger to be taken out of a ladder match. He should have just not been in the ladder match in the first place, nearly blowing four times the legal limit. There's other ways out, like not booking it in the first place. This person here says, do you think there will be any women's matches on the Forbidden Door pay per view? And if not,

does that matter? Would a w try to make it up? Well, here's the deal. So uh Numan doesn't new women's wrestling, and apparently Dave said there were gonna be no start of matches on Forbidden Door. No, they're running a lot of shows. I find it hard to believe. What does matter if they're running shows, you can send one, yes, well, I I know what you mean, but it's just not happening. But I I find it impossible to believe that we are gonna do a w Forbidden Door and there's not

going to be a women's match on the show. So my guess is you're gonna have a thunder rosa title defense against someone in a W at Forbidden Door that you have a challenge sent in. You save some time where you have Britt Baker out there who or whoever it is, and she's challenged by Kyrie, she's challenged by Tam naconnor, she's challenged by Julia, whoever it is. You can do something on that show relating to the women without actually having to have a women's match, even a

live segment. You could do something where you can drive home the fact that stardom is coming and all that sort of stuff because they are going to be touring more and all that. So there's easy ways to do it. Brian, your opinion is Toxic Attraction ready for the main roster. Well, Mandy was on the main roster and they sent her back down to n x T. As far as the act, it's like, if they want him, they want him. I mean, are they Are they as good in the ring as

Oscar and uh you know Bianca and whoever else? No, are they as good in the ring as Carmela and uh you know Zelena? Yes, they're they're better or at the same level as them. So it's if they want him up or not. Let me also say this too when it comes to Stardom, I mean they actually have to work out a actual deal with Stardom because there is obviously the link that Kenny Omega has to Tokyo

Joshi pro. We've seen plenty of women, not the least of which has been Mack Makiedo who's come over here, So that's something that needs to be established as well too, because it's not like Stardom and t JP worked together on a on a regular close basis or anything like that, so there could be some a little bit of politics there too. Let's see what do we get right here? My friend dated a guy who shaved his head, but then she dumped him when she found out he was

also actually bald. Wow, so it didn't grow back. She's gonna dump you because you're bald. You're all right, brother, Just whatever you do. It's the summertime. If you do go new newly bald out there, remember you gotta put some sunscreen on that. You don't want to get the red head with the peel on it and all that stuff. Especially if you've got one of those sharpay puppy heads.

Like you shave your head, you wonder how it's gonna look, and it's like a bunch of looks like you got like a roll of hot dogs back there or something like that. Look like a sharpay puppies rear end. If you got that, definitely cover that up because you don't need to burn that and look even freak here and uh, let's see. That's it for the text messages. Eybody want to call? Now's your chance. I'll take one call today.

Nothing to talk about. Nobody cares about anything. If Jericho losing the hair match needs to be shaved completely bald, then come out in a ridiculous wig every week claiming his hair grew back because he's a wizard. Oh my god, thing just start pulling out the extensions. You know, they don't even need to actually shave anything. But you know, that would be right up Jericho's alley. He is a

he is a sports entertainer, now, isn't he. If he were to come back out with several different types of things to cover up his hair, what what if we had in the past, have bandanas, we've had wrestling headgear, all that sort of stuff. So here's the thing. I don't think Jericho he's not he's like fifty maybe maybe fifty one. He's he's not. I mean, I'm forty seven, so you old at all. But the point is I think he's ready to be, you know, totally white haired.

But he did he did a thing. I can't remember when, was it Halloween or something. There's something he did and he came out in like a long white wig and I looked at it. I was like, bro, this is your new look, dude, the white Wizard. Yes, oh well you may want to uh, you may want to remix that a little bit, but uh, you know, Jericho, like Kevin Nash, Kevin Nash had it right, at some point

you can stop chasing your past. At some point you can put the bottle of hairt eye down and you can actually be who you are and have the big silver main. Because again, I would rather have a full head of silver hair than have like, you know, a scraggly head of of of hair but all of my color. I mean, come on, you are so vain that earlier. Everybody in the chat, by the way things, Jericho is losing tonight, we we we all have hope. Why is everyone hope he loses? This would be a lot funnier

seeing him get his head shaved and Ortizo, wasn't it. Well, I mean it would be funny if I'm not sure that he really wants to be funny. I'm not sure if he wants to come back in a wig it. I mean it would be funny, but I'm not sure that he wants to be doing like goofy comedy. Well, if he don't want it to be funny, and he wants it to be, you know, make it really really, Get one of those old dick razors, you know, the

disposable ones, and just slowly start peeling it back. Man, it won't be funny at all back in the moment of is ever life you. We're listening to Wrestling Observer Live, which Brian Albarez and Mike semperviv on the Sports Byline broadcasting. That worked well, blocks, I've done a pole on my Twitter. There's a pole up right now and three votes. We're in a quick five minute poll at this moment. Who

is losing? Chris Jericho has fifty nine point seven percent of the vote orties but forty point three percent of the vote, So it looks like basically sixty in favor of Jericho losing tonight according to my all the bots on my Twitter. Highly scientific poll. It's a very scientific poll. Now, did you put a limit on this? You did put a limit on this with every minute tweeting it right now, so I wanted. I wanted the answer before the show goes off the air. They didn't give me a one

minute option, so I did five minutes. We'll see what people think. Aren't you tired of finishing things in one minute? Though? You know what? I just want to drive you from this show for this week? Can I do that? I'm really done with you. I'm tired of you coming after me. I'm tired of you saying I stand back the show and didn't show up intentionally on Monday. I'm tired of you saying I'm having connection issues all this sort of stuff. I can pretty much guarantee you that I can do

this show a lot better off without you. I can do it just fine on my own and in fact, and in fact, I because I am a wizard myself, I am actually going to heal. Heal Dominic comments, Dominic producer. Dom put your hands on your listening device right now. You were now healed. You will be back with me tomorrow without Brian Alvarez. You're gonna need him. Fine, you can take the show. Brother. At least I got to do the n x T two point o report before I left. Hey, we'll out a time, have fun with

Mike the rest of the week. I quit. I hopefully feel better tom We'll talk to you blokes tonight Wrestling Observer Live. You have been listening to the Wrestling Observer Daily podcast on the eight Side Network.
