We'll talk the ratings a huge weekend of shows coming up, one show after another, starting with three big shows tonight and more on four big shows actually, so we'll talk about that after the break. Observer Live. You're listening to Wrestling Observer Live with Brian Albarez and Mike Semperviv on the Sports Byline Broadcasting Network. Megan the show. Bran Elbert is here Wrestling Observer Live, Mike simper Viv also Wrestling Observer dot Com and Holy Smokes.

Do we have a big weekend of shows coming up here SmackDown tonight, Rampage tonight, Battle of the Belt tonight, the ten A Bound for Glory pay per view Tonight, Extreme Rules Tomorrow. There's a new Japan show tomorrow. I can't watch it all, but I'm John Moxley and Nick Gauge also tomorrow. Oh my god, that's tomorrow as well. Yeah, now looking good, bro. Let me tell you something about

John Moxley and Nick Gauge. I'm not sure if you guys are aware of this or not, but John Moxley is the current at g c W champion And for those of you that don't know what was supposed to happen at the at the all out show this year, c M Punk beat John Moxley, and John Moxley was gonna go on vacation. He said it in a promo he was gonna be gone. I don't know if it was six weeks, eight weeks, but he was gonna be

gone for a substantial period of time. And as a result of that, g c W set up a storyline where John Moxley is going to defend the g c W title against the biggest baby face ever in gc W, Nick Gage, and the stipulation is that Nick Gauge's career is on the line. So Nick Gauge either beats John

Moxley and wins the title, or Nick Gauge retires. Now it's possible that none of this matters and Nick Age is just going to retire, but it is professional wrestling, and I mean, if I had to make a bet, I would bet that Nick Gauge is not going to retire, and that he was probably scheduled to win this title from John Moxley because John Moxley was supposed to just be on vacation. He was supposed to be the a

W champion. So then all hell broke loose and all out and now John Moxley is the a W champion, So now we got potentially an issue. As noted, if Nick Cage is just done, he's out, it's not an issue. But if Nick Gauge was supposed to win, now you've got the a W champion who was not supposed to

be the a W champion. And my guess is Tony CON's I would think probably not high on the idea of the a W champion going to a g c W show, which Mike explained was outside in the parking lot or something and losing the title to Nick Age obviously not the a W title. So this is this is a potentially you know, I'm very intrigued by what they do this weekend because here's the deal. What's John Moxley's character. He's he's the man of the people. He's not a corporate guy. He goes out there, he does

indie dates here and there. John Moxley's character, it's not the sort of guy that shows up and goes I'm just gonna hand over this title. John Moxley's character is not the guy who's not going to show up. The John Moxley character, right, he should be going to g c W and putting over Nick Gauge if that was a scheduled finish. But now he's got a championship that he you know, Tony doesn't usually let his champions go and just do jobs on indie shows. It's rare, as

in it's never happened. So it'll be very interesting this weekend. What is going to happen in John Moxley and Nick Gage. We'll see. I'm just interested to see where they go. This thing is on the pier in Atlantic City, so they could be hanging off the uh one of the gimmick rides, or in the arcade or in the water. It's gonna be very very interesting, especially on a night that's looking like it's gonna be under fifty degrees and maybe a little bit of rain. It's gonna be fascinating.

Gonna be fascinating for guys like Nick Wayne and Shouldn't Skywalker that's on the show. That is a if you really think about it, it's like a head exploding match between the two Tony Deppen and your motto. They got a couple of the dragon Gate guys who have coming over. But you know, I worry about that. You know, you get the slippery canvas, you got all those other things that come with running outside, especially and possibly in clement weather.

So it is a it's really gonna be an interesting weekend, you know. The The other thing, if if I were asked, what do you do in this situation, if you're Tony Khan, and here's my answer. My answer is that if Nick Gauge is supposed to win the g c W title, my answer is John Moxley goes in there and Nick Gauge beats him and wins the g c W title, and then whenever, guess who shows up on Dynamite and he's getting an a W championship match, and then John

Moxley beats him. To worry about dominoes, I mean, here's the end of the day. Here's here's here's the thing. Let's say that wouldn't have been the end of the world if Juice Robinson would have beaten John Moxley that title eliminator, and then a week later they have the title match and Moxley beats him. Of course not it would have made no difference whatsoever. Is it gonna make one bit of difference business wise? If Nick Gauge goes

in there and beats John Moxley. No, if you're concerned about it, then you can have John Moxley beat Nick Gauge on television. But honest to god, here's the thing, I don't think you even need to do that. And I think that given the character the John Moxley portrays, given the uh, you know, the the A E W, they they they want to give the impression that, you know,

we're not a big corporation. We we care about the fans, and the fans you know, they were promised this match and circumstances came up, so you know what, We're gonna give them the match, and we're gonna do something you don't expect. We're actually gonna have our champion lose on an indie show and it gives it gives them cred,

It gives John Moxley cred. And there's nobody, there is no passionate a W fan that's gonna hear that John Moxley lost a match to Nick Gauge the g c W show and go ah, this guy's a fake champion. I can't watch this show anymore with Roman how about not one? Hey? Look mean, honestly, it could very well be the case. That Nick Caage was going to retire lose this match, I think everybody. Yeah, I mean, as soon as you see it on paper, you go, well, Moxley has been champion over a year. This would be

a great chance to get it off of them. Okay, you know, we'll do this. Like nobody's gonna believe that Nick loses. Maybe he does, And I think you're right. This is two thousand and twenty two, and considering what the eight W fan base is, I think they'll have more respect for John Moxley. I mean as far as the base goes. People on the outside casual fans maybe not so much. But you know, John Moxley losing in GCW,

it's not one. It's two thousand twenty two. I don't think anybody would care bat and I even really think about it, unless you know, they had an ax to grind against a W or against John Moxley or g c W whatever it would be. But you can also, because it's GCW, if there is some sort of screwy finish to this that ends up with Moxley winning or

with you know, whatever it is. I know you don't like to do this, but Nick Gauge is a guy that a year from now you can bring back during Rustlemania weekend and have a passionate outcry from the fan base to to rally behind him, to get him out of retirement again, to flip the stipulation over. And I know it's a dumb kind of thing to do, but it's not like it hasn't happened in pro wrestling before. You just need to be able to have somebody. This is the scenario with Cody. You know he'll never get

a title shot. You know five years down the line, you could always do an angle to bring it back where he can get a shot. And I think you could probably do that with Nick Gauge's career here as well too. But who knows what's going to happen, and who knows if this does change things where they do bring in somebody to cause a little havoc in the main event. He bro I hate to do this because we might have an issue, but unlug and plug your mic back in. It's got a horrible tinny noise to

it everyone's complaining about. Luckily we'll be uh, we'll be hitting a commercial here pretty soon. But in addition to that show I have for you the lineup for some back Down tonight. I have for you the lineup for Rampage tonight, the lineup for the Bound for Glory pay per view, the Extreme Rules pay per view, and when we come back from the break. I know all of you at video dot w one dot com get to

enjoy my ruggedly handsome face and HD every day. But if you want to see it again on Vice TV, the Vince McMahon documentary will be airing in just under two weeks. I'll give you the date. You can set your DVRs. Now, let's have this show Beat Raw that's coming up after the breaks over live. You're listening to Wrestling Observer Live with Brian Alvarez and Mike semper Viv on the Sports Byline Broadcasting Network. Well, everybody, no good

deed goes unpunished. Oh. I tried to fix semper Vivs audio for you all to this, and the whole thing broke during the break. So Mike has it plugged in and we're doing it. I think in our power to not wiggle anything. No wiggling, Mike. If you wiggle your cord, we're gonna have big issues on the show today. I've been told that before. We're gonna need to get this thing repaired. Ah hey, this would be a great time right now if anybody would like to be become a

super follower or maybe get a cameo. This might be a good day to day. I could use some money, all right. Here's all of the lineups for the show's coming up here. First off, a two hour documentary from Vice on former chairman and CEO Vince McMahon, will debut later this month. The most reported The Nine Lives of Vince McMahon, while are on Tuesday, October eighteen at eight Eastern as it leading for that Night's a W, a

focused edition of the Tales of the Territories. What a what a great day for this to air, a day where in fact we have got to both n X T n a W going head to head. Oh no, eight, Oh god, that's right, that's their head to head day. Major League Baseball me a favorite bloke set that DVR. I'm not these numbers ain't looking good, oh man. And you know that as an aside, Major League Baseball is

in the playoffs right now. The NHL seasons officially day obviously basketball is gonna be kicked off here pretty soon, so prepare for a lot of moving around when it comes to the schedules. Al Right, here's the lineups everyone that I mentioned. By the way, October eight o'clock PM, Vice TV. I'll be reminding you regularly. I don't need this thing doing viewers. I prefer it did a little better than that. But who cares? Now? This is this

is gonna be rough. If this does a good number, this does a good number, I want a little bit. That's some strong competition. A W and n XT and you know those You know those two shows are gonna be booking that night. What row everything everything neither side wants to lose. There's gonna be main roster guys all over n X T, A W is gonna have title matches. I mean, they're throwing everything at the wall. So look, I know saw Brian Solomon's on this, I know Dave

Meltzer is on this. But can we really thank you for the house if it ends up doing a good number. Actually, now to think about it, wouldn't those shows at nine to eleven and this is eight to nine ten. God, I hope I'm in the first hour, all right, rampage Tonight we have the Death Triangle defending the trio's titles

against John Silver, Alex Reynolds, and ten. We got Josh Woodson, Tony Nice versus The Varsity, Blonde, Madison Rain and Sky Blue versus Time Mellow and Anna j John Moxley, Wheeler, You to cloud Eo versus R and Private Party, as well as Jose the Assistant. I better do better numbers in that bloke coming up on Tuesday. A w Battle the Belts follows immediately afterwards, in which we have Jade

Cardill versus Willow Nightingale. We have the Gates of Agony versus FTR for the Ring of Honor take team titles. We have Trent Boretta versus Pack for the All Atlantic title. So two hours of Rampage coming tonight. Also tonight SmackDown for two hours. We have got Zelena. She's gonna be back soon. I don't know if it'll be tonight, but Selena is on her way back. This has not been advertised these first two things, so Lena should be back soon maybe tonight. And Legato del Phantasma is expected to

be a SmackDown team. I don't know if they will be there in person tonight, but I would not be surprised if you saw a vignette for them on the show tonight. We have a face to face with Roman Reigns and Logan Paul. We have the intercontinal title on the line. Gun Thir will face Samus. You seem to say that with a little bit of a smirk on your face, But Logan and Roman god their last That last Logan Paul segment was a netrocity. At least we'll

get Paul. We had Paul last time, it was still neutrocity. And we have Solo so Coo versus Ricochet. And you know, gotta tell you, guys, you look at all those those matches on a W rampage and there is a match on SmackDown where the last time these two men were in the ring together got five stars. So there's a possibility that the best match tonight is going to be on SmackDown on to night where we have SmackDown Rampage,

Battle the Belts and Bound for Glory. So we'll see what kind of time they give them, what they allow them to do. Wouldn't be surprised if Sheamus won that title either. Now that would be interesting. Leading into tomorrow, we've also got to the Bound for Glory Show. Brian Myers will be defending the Impact Media Championship against a TVD Josh Alexander versus Eddie Edwards for the Impact Title, Jordan Grace versus Musha Slamovich for the Impact Are The

Women's title. The knock Knockouts. They're knockouts, that's right on or no more. Matt Tavid and Mike Bennett versus MotorCity Machine Guns for the tag team titles. Mike Bailey versus Frankie Kazarian for the X Division title. Mia Yim versus Mickey James. If Mickey James loses this match, she will retire from professional wrestling. And I'm not saying that if she retires she won't come back, but these sings me

less than they used to. Well, we'll see what happens. Yeah, I know, I know some guy who keeps coming back and trying his hand at this wrestling thing and keeps losing tag matches. I can't remember his name, though, How dare you? We've got Chelsea Green and Diana Parazzover, Sajesska and tay A Valkyrie for the Impact Knockouts tag titles, and a Call your Shots Gauntlet Match, a twenty wrestler intergender gauntlet battle royal that is bound for glory. Coming

up here tonight and then tomorrow Extreme Rules Live. Morgan and Rond Rousey Extreme Rules for the SmackDown Women's title. Matt Riddle and seth Rawlins. They fight pit match with Daniel Cormier as the guest referee. Drew McIntyre and Carrion Cross in a strap match. Bianca Versus Bailey and Eo Sky for the Raw Women's title, Edge and Finn Balor for the It's an I Quit match. Yeah, I quit.

That's a step. And then the Browling Brutes will be facing Imperium in a good old fashioned Donnie Brooke match might be the match of the weekend right there, no matter what the promotion is. Well, I mean, if if, if, if Gunther and Shamus have a match the same as they had at that pay per view, good luck anything beating it this weekend. That would mean one of those matches I just read would have to be five stars are better. That's a high bar. So there you go.

How do you think they're bringing back in your gut right now? Well, how do you feel that as though bring back bray Wyatt, because there's been a lot of speculation that Okay, we're gonna go ahead and cash in on the white rapid thing, or do at least a little bit of a bigger impact thing at the pay

per view. Could you see him get involved in a match like a match with Edge where he helps finnmalor do something to to cause havoc, or do you bring him in against somebody else in a different type of scenario, you know, you bring him in and get somebody who's not on the card, or do you have do you put some impact on something that takes place tomorrow in Philadelphia. Well, I'm trying to think about who this bloke would even feud with. Well, that's the thing, listen, I don't know

if he's coming back as a baby face. I mean, he's gonna get a baby face reaction when he comes back. So maybe you could have a jolly old fiend and he's gonna come back and go after a a heel Dexter Loomis. I mean he could be he could be a heel, in which case, well, who does he Who's he gonna feud with Drew McIntire. I mean, you could do the the carrying a cross true mcutyre match, and you know Drew mcutyre. I think they really want to

get this carrying cross going. So I could see carrying cross beating Drew after some sort of interference from the returning fiend. I could see them doing that. I don't know if that's what they're gonna do. And then Drew McIntyre could feud with the fiend. Poor bloke, but again I don't know. I don't know what the fiends. I don't know if he's gonna do magic if he comes back.

And by the way, a correction, that match on SmackDown that I talked about was not with Shamous, it was with Kevin Owens, and uh, although I was although I was wrong, let me tell you something. Bray White with no hocus pocus versus Shamus had the a banger. So anyway, this guy can do hard hitting, you know, good matches. He doesn't need to do the magic and ocus focus.

And you know Drew mcutyre, if you've watched, if you watched a lot of Drew mctre, I don't think this bloke likes a lot of magic and hocus pocus, So that would actually be a good first feud to to kick off a new fiend who has the same mass character everything but doesn't do magic. I'd be fine with that well, and that, you know, if you wanted to throw Edge into the mix, because we already know what Edges feelings are on hocus post poco, hocus pocus and

magic and what PoCA hoca. That's some some poconics pocus. So with that hocus pocus, we know Edge doesn't like it. So that's why I can see maybe him splitting off if they decide to turn a j Styles hav an aj Style's Edge feud or something like that leading into a big match at Survivor series. Could definitely see something like that, And then Drew McIntyre really in some ways

would be the perfect person for him to come back with. Now, I don't know if they want to do that, because obviously you got do you wrong to be done with Carrie and Cross and Drew McIntyre right away. I guess maybe you could be And if you could, that's probably the right guy to put him in with. And again, you just hope that there's not as much hocus pocus and there's a lot more fisticuffs and big meaty men's slapping meat because Kevin Owens, Shamus, Drew McIntyre, Bobby, anybody

that goes out there in thumps. I mean that's really again, that stuff is always going to get over. That stuff is always going to be what people want to see in general, more than the magic. Hey listen, speaking of magic, Speaking of magic, this person says he'd love to see me and Edge go and uh go crazy at a magic show with anger. I like magic. I used to be a magician. You see this, see this coin, watch blow Mike whoaing? I like magic. I don't like magic

on my wrestling show. You know what. I quit see you next week, everybody. I'm gonna make this guy disappear. We'll be right back wrestlings Overlive. Yeah, you're listening to Wrestling Observer Live with Brian Alvarez and Mike semper Viv on the Sports Byline Broadcasting Network. Back on the show, Mike semper Viv here with you have Wrestling Observer Live. Isn't that amazing? And thankfully I was able to make Brian disappear, and thankfully for me, he doesn't have any

type of weird magical ah. Oh, I'll be damned point to you, Brian Alvarez. I'm not sure how exactly how he did that. He's a big fan of Harry Anderson on Night Court when he was there anyway back on the show Restle Observer Live. It's Friday. It's Friday, and and Brian's out of here, and I'm here with you, and hopefully you can hear me, oh K with this

tinny microphone. And there's still a lot of stuff to get into, not the least of which is lurkin Ony Larkin kind of forgot about OWNI actually when I thought he was released from the from w w E, and now he's working as a full time coach at the Performance Center, apparently according to Dave's Wrestling Observer newsletter, which, by the way, if you're not a subscriber to the Wrestling Observer newsletter, I if this isn't the year to

try to convince you, I don't. I don't know what would be, to be honest with you, Because what Dave wrote about Vince McMahon once he was ousted from w w E was an amazing issue. This issue with Antonio Andochi is something else as well, too, so an incredibly packed newsletter this week, including the news on Ony Lurkin Chris Gerard, who was brought in working as a guest coast guest coach at the Performance Center. But he's the type of guy that I would love to see stay

on in a role as a coach. I mean, how many bad matches did you see from Money Larkin? There really weren't a whole lot of them, were they? He's always technically proficient, always technically sound. He's one of those guys like Drew Goolak, who, yes, they don't have their wrestlers work in that style all of the time, obviously not. We've seen this with trainers. They had Steve Kern, they had Ricky Steamboat, They've had a lot of guys from the past who were great technical workers and that's not

exactly what they want them to do. But they still need to be trained in some of this, and you know, actual trained professional wrestlers, and Toy Larkin is a great person to actually do that with. So, you know, good, good for him and congratulations. I think that would be a good move by w w E to bring him

on full time. What I think is a big negative for w w E is the fact that they have apparently released Nigel McGuinness, and we heard about all of the announcer shake ups that were taking place yesterday and I kind of wondered, what does this mean for Nigel, you know, with book or T getting this the spot with Vick Joseph, which I believe is temporary for now, because once Pat McAfee returns from ESPN and gets back in his role on SmackDown, I would assume that Wade

Barrett would slide back down to n x T. He and Vic Joseph, I think are a very good team. I like that whole team. Mackenzie Mitchell is a backstage interviewer. I like that whole package, and I think that's probably what was going to happen. But I thought with Nigel McGinnis, whatever happens with n x T Europe, he was she probably was going to have a role there because he was not inserted anywhere else. But apparently that's because he's been released, and that information comes from p W Insider.

He's been with the company since two thousand and sixteen. He was doing the n x T Level Up Show, and you know, it's uh, it's frustrating because he's really good at that job. And in a w they have a zillion announcers. I mean they hired Big Show to be an announcer, they hired Mark Henry to be an announcer. They have Jim Ross, they have Tazz, they have Excalibur, they have Tony Schavani. I'm sure there's names I'm forgetting. Nigel McGinnis would be a great person to have on

one of those shows. And I don't watch Dark and Elevation much. I hate to say this, I just don't have the time. So a lot of times when I see Dark and Elevation, that happens to be on batcha Mania where there where it's Taz and we get some of the commentary there so and he and Excalibur are great together. They're hilarious together. The little bits I see, you know they're having a good time. But is that

a good place to maybe have a Nigel McGinnis. Is it good to have Nigel McGinnis on staff because of all of his experience. He's got experience acting, you know, outside of the wrestling realm. He's got experienced, you know, being a a public speaker outside of the wrestling realm. On top of the fact that I mean technically he was fantastic. I mean, you know he could Again, I don't have to go through the the accolades of Nigel McGinnis for most of you out there. I mean, he

was a tremendous professional wrestler. And you can't tell the story of Ring of Honor without Nigel McGinnis, without some O Joe, without Brian Danielson, without some of the guys that were there. And maybe that's a really good spot for him, is maybe ending up doing something with Ring of Honor, if not as an announcer, maybe in the role of a and executive, maybe in the role of a you know, the president or the commissioner or something like that. That would probably be in my mind, that

would be a good thing to do. And I know they have a Caprice Coleman and they have ian Riccabani, and they're good. They're more than good. They're in fact, over time, I think Caprice really doesn't get his credit for how good and how comfortable he has gotten. And the same thing with Ian too. Although Ian started off really good, you know he's gotten a lot better as

well too. You know, them getting back in the groove of each other, you bring in Nigel to do something there couldn't be the worst idea in the world, at least, I don't think it is a couple other things too that kind of clicking around in my mind. You know. Brian did bring up the at the beginning about Nick Gauge and John Moxley that the rest of that card as well too, And I did mention Nick Wayne and

shouldn't Skywalker Tony Deppon and your motto? Maybe one of those matches this weekend too, And I'm sure there's going to be a handful that kind of can be put in the steal the show category, But that's one of those matches that probably isn't going to get a lot of shine with a lot of other matches taking place all over the place this weekend, but I love that

match on paper. They have a GCW Tag Team Championship the Megabastards of Alex Cologne and John Wayne Murdoch against Arena Yamashita and Drew Parker, which ought to be violent for sure, for sure. Jordan Oliver and Jonathan Gresham just another you know, it's like kind of like Nick Wayne, just another brick on the on the steps for Jordan Oliver,

to kind of continue to get better. They had Jordan Oliver and Nick Wayne in matching gear over in g c W when they went to Japan against Freedom, so you know, to see Nick Oliver and Nick Wayne, or to see Jordan Oliver and Nick Wayne were as a tag team to over here with the matching gear and all that sort of stuff, I think that's pretty cool. Joey Janelle and Cole Raderick against sik Lope and Mieto extrem Oh that ought to be interesting as well too.

And then Ali Catch against Sawyer Wreck is gonna need to be what fills out the first night of the Fight Club shows. So outside in Atlantic City, I mean, that is certainly decision to make, and I'm not exactly sure if they had planned it that way or if

something else had gone on. I know there's a kick boxing event that's gonna be taking place inside the show boats, so it's certainly a decision to make, and I just hope for the people that are going that the weather actually holds out for him a little bit, because that's a man fifty degrees with the wind coming off the water. In fact, it's gonna be under fifty degrees with the possibility to rain with the wind coming off the water

like that. It is uh again, I man, I feel bad for the people that are gonna be working out there, although some of those people work during the pandemic outside, including and I think it was where did they move the collective Indianapolis, because I guess it was helped out along by spider Nate web or uh that was able to get a park to let g C w in And and for those people that had to perform outside in the sun, I remember that was the same way

in Atlantic City. In fact, at the pier. You know, at least it's not during the day where you have to worry about all the sun and shadows and things like that that you know, as a fan you may not think about, but when you're in the ring, it probably throws you off. A little bit. Sad news for anybody looking to vote for Dwayne Johnson to be your president of the United States coming up. He is rolling

out the run for president. Apparently told CBS UH in an interview that are that will air on Sunday morning, UH that he does not want to run for president. Says it's off the table. Yes, it's off the table. I will say this because it requires a b side to this. I love our country and everyone in it.

I also love being a daddy, and that's the most important thing to me, is being a daddy number one, especially during this time, this critical time in my daughter's lives, because I know what was like to be on the road and be so busy that I was absent for a lot of the years when my first daughter was growing up in these critical in these critical ages, at this critical time in their life. And that's what the

presidency will do. Sure, CEO sounds great, But the number one thing I want to be is daddy, and that is it probably a smart thing to do, you know, I uh, I don't know. I don't know. Um, you know, the rock running for president when you've never served any public office, and I know, you know, the experience levels when it comes to the presidency has gotten less and less in this country. But I know he announced that we killed the Osama bin Laden and all, and he

had some sort of connect that way. But I mean, I mean, come on, really, really, it's so I you know, I any thought of him running for president too, I mean, it drags up a whole bunch of things, not only from your past, but from your family's past, and is

that something that you really want. Forget about the fact that you're gonna lose time with your daughters, what about the fact that you're gonna have people in the media and muck breakers and everything else, really diving deep into every single family member looking for some sort of dirt, looking for some sort of story to bring up, and doesn't sound very appetizing to me. So it's just to me.

I never took it seriously anyway. I know a lot of other people did, and maybe you know he was dead serious about doing it, But I am more than happy that that is not happening. Oh, by the way, for everybody listening to on Sports Byline for sports the middle of the sixth right now, still no score. St. Louis and Philadelphia here is the NL wild Card Games has kicked off here and again. Some of these changes are going to affect programming when it comes to a

W especially here coming up again hockey season starting. You know, there's gonna be a lot of people who get upset again when you look at the NHL's ratings in comparison to a w and you go, my god, You know, wrestling gets x amount of times better ratings for you know, against most hockey games, but prestige sport, you know, whether you like it or not, they're the ones who are going to make out and obviously bring in the advertisers

and can do things that a w doesn't. So they're always going to be in that situation when it comes to the four major sports, even hockey, which in this country again is it can be a little bit shaky. Uh, let's see here, what else we got going on in the world. I don't have a super uh, I don't have a super Twitter or whatever to to to to follow, so I can't really hype that up. And great Firefox

is now crashed as well too. And I'm just expecting at this point in the game for the computer to melt down fully as it did a couple of weeks ago, and this time line to just die and this microphone to die, and then then I'm just stuck waiting to die. But at least I'll be watching a whole lot of pro wrestling along the way. Here is I'm not able to bring anything up is it's a blank screen. Now, hopefully you can still hear me. I assume you can

still hear me. Of course, if if, if, if any of the producers were yelling in my ear, I you know, I wouldn't be able to tell that as I stall terribly empathetically trying to get to this break here as I try to bring the camera back up for all of you who now lost it being on being on YouTube or being on Twitch. I am so happy to get this stupid week over with. I really really am in my back and my back. We got the giraffe. There's the giraffe. Yeah, yeah, that's exactly how this week was, folks,

Just terrible, terrible. Somebody getting drafty in here to punch out the rest of this week so we can all get the hell out of here and go home. Thank god, there's the end music. We'll be right back. Ye you're listening to Wrestling Observer Live on the Sports Byline Broadcasting Network. Al right back on this show, Mike Semper BB here with you still. I'm assuming you can hear me, at least I believe now you can see me again too. I think this was the perfect period to put on

the sentence that was this week. It felt like a prison sentence at times for me, but damn it, we survive because that's what we do. And I always have the I always have professional wrestling at least that I can. They can keep me going and keep me inspired to want to get through things here. And if if you want to learn more about professional wrestling, and I mean learn more about professional wrestling, you should have can become a subscriber to Wrestling Observer dot com for that Wrestling

Observer newsletter. Just an amazing job Dave Meltzer did covering the career of Antonio Noki as well as all the other news that is taking place in the world of professional wrestling and mixed martial arts. And it is going to be a very busy weekend. Talked about g c W, We talked about extreme roles coming up here in Philadelphia.

We've got Smacked Down tonight, we have Rampage Slash Battle of the Belts tonight live from Washington, d C. You have cards going on all over the world, including this Impact Wrestling Bound for Glory show, which I am actually looking forward to seeing. One of the reasons why is because I believe that Jordan Graysh and Mansta Slamovich can be a really, really good match, and I really like

Masha slam Vivic a lot uh Jordan Grace. You know the angle that they did with Masha's flipping over the table on top of her saying she was gonna kill her. I thought that came across really well. It's impossible for me to believe that Josh Alexander and Eddie Edwards will not be a good match. I know that r O H fans in the moment at the time, really we're not big fans, some of them of Mike Bennett and Matt Taban. But when you take your personal opinions on what you wanted r OH to be or or them

out of the mix, they're really very very good. They're really good as a team. Are they as good as the Motor City machine Guns? I don't know about that. I had argued that the MotorCity machine Guns are a certainly of the two thousands, They're a Hall of Fame two thousands tag team, and that match is going to probably be pretty damn good. Same thing with Speedball, Mike Bailey and Frankie Kazarian. Since Speedball has been back in the country, haven't seen a bad match with him. It's

almost impossible. So I am really looking forward to this Impact Wrestling Show tonight, So whatever your style of wrestling is, it's gonna be there for you. She'll talk to you all again after a while. You have been listening to the Wrestling Observer Daily podcast on the eight Side Network.
