ST. Patrick's AEW Preview/Jay Briscoe Apology

got a lot to get into you today. It's Wednesday year in this program, and you know what that means. Tonight a e W Dynamite. We got a big show coming up tonight St. Patrick's Day. We got Britt Baker, thunder Rosen, a cage match, Hangman Page and Jurassic Express versus Adam Cole and Red Dragon, Scorpio Sky versus Ward Low, Bryan Danielson, John Moxley versus Chuck Taylor and Wheeler Utah.

The Heartys will be facing Private Party, Jericho Appreciation, Society Commencement and more titles on the line in the Britt Baker match as well as the Scorpio Sky match. Angles will be happening. The whole nine yards should be a lot of fun, so we'll talk about that, as well as Jay Briscoe apologizing for a quite famous tweet now from many many years ago that have in fact kept the Brusco's out of w W E and A E W.

I'll tell you about that. William Regal appeared on Talks Jericho and went into a lot of detail about that interview he did last week where he had that line about how he wasn't long for this world and it was all kind of worrisome. He does claim he's good now, but he was not good and it's pretty much pretty much a miracle that he's alive. We can tell you

about that. The whole interview is on Talcas Jericho. We got updates on Joey Janella w w E versus m l W because Dave noted on Twitter w w E provided evidence that they were not a monopoly and it was an issue of an observer that noted when a W and w w E went head to head, a W one people on the internet said he doesn't really account well. W W thought countered enough to put it in a lawsuit to defend themselves against claims that they are a monopoly. Anyway, I lost to get into back

in a moment Observer Live. Rip it off, taking that time behind my back back in the show. Brian Elbert is here Wrestling Observer a lot. Hey there, I am like simple VP here also of Wrestling Observer dot com. See him punk morphed into me instantly, look at the split. Oh, we have so much to talk about here today. And yes we missed the raw report yesterday, so fear not I got raw in n x T today And Bro, I don't want to hear one person telling me not

do this n x T two point or report. How in God's name could you not want to talk about these these segments with with Cora Jade and and uh toxic attraction. God, I could talk for years. Everyone who's saying ug right now they didn't watch the show because if they did, they would be salivating and the ability to talk about these these segments and a now deleted podcast.

J Brisco again apologized for past homophobic tweets that have reportedly prevented he and his brother Mark from being hired and either w w E in a w fightful first had the transcription of the interview on the Battlegrounds podcast, but the episode was taken down shortly thereafter. Battle Grounds is yet to respond to an inquiry as to why.

I've reported last week a person of influence within Warner Media did not want the reigning ring of Hunter Take Team Champions signed to a W because of Jay's tweets. I asked about their poor Je didn't specifically address whether a W joan interest, but did again apologized for his actions, saying he thought he quote was taking a stand for the Lord back in the day. I put out a stupid tweet nine years ago, the most dumbest, immature, obnoxious.

I can't say the word I've ever done. I don't want anybody from many walk of life to feel like they can't care for the Briscos because I promise we love everybody. We love everybody, and we just want to go out there and be pro wrestlers and give the best match that we can. I said some dumb stuff a long time ago. I apologize for it. I'll apologize for it again. It was stupid. I feel like now there are people who look at this, we can't cheer for them because they hate a certain group of people.

We don't hate nobody. We love everybody. We're just some country boys. He then said the comments were from immaturity. They were counterproductive to what God wants, which is to be a human being and relate to others with love. Jay said, quote, We're not like that when it comes to fans labeled, labeling them a certain way. So we'll

see if this leads to anything. Obviously, this did lead to w W E not bringing in the Briscos, and uh as noted, I had been told months ago actually from and this from people that actually they are they are big fans of the Briscos, but they just said it's too bad about those tweets. This was months ago, so this is not a new thing that the reason that the Briscos have not been on a double television was because of these tweets. But we shall see if this apology leads or does not lead to So there

you go. Yeah, I wonder why they took down the podcast. I wonder what the reason is exactly behind that they pull the whole thing down altogether for whatever reason. You know, there's no defense of what Jay said and what he tweeted nine years ago, that's for sure, you know. I know him a little bit, a little tiny bit in there western Sussex County, you know, the farm boys who never went off the peninsula, you know. But I I hopefully hopefully they have learned from it, and I think

that they have. You know. F He talked about it on his podcast when he and A. J. Gray went in there to face the Briscos after the Briscos came into g c W and win the tag titles, and Jay, you know, said the same thing to FFI is he has to a lot of people about how apologizing about how dumb it was basically saying the same thing for all intents and purposes that he said on this podcast. It was dumb. We were dumb to some dumb country boys and screwed up. And they're going to because they

said it, because it was tweeted, because Jay tweeted it. Uh, they're just gonna have to ride with the consequences this for a long long time. But you know, it's too bad in some ways, you know, obviously from a wrestling point of view, talent wise, but it all comes down to what you believe about how they feel and how

you feel about their apology. Nui. You ross remember William Regal open up on Jericho's podcast regarding serious health issues he has had to deal with, including being told he had twenty four hours to live in early twenty nineteen. I was in a hospital for eight weeks, he said. I was given a one point twenty four hours to live.

I had sepsis in my leg. They were gonna cut my leg off January four, nineteen, he said, since I've had paraicarditis and inflammation with the sacker on your heart, and what it does is scar the sack so your heart can beat with a sack and sort of lock down. He detailed a serious neck injury he believes he suffered in nineteen ninety three during the manage with a Ricky Steamboat.

Injury went untreated for many years, eventually required multiple surgeries, including one to fuse four discs in his neck together. He hasn't training as much, which led to further heart issues. He said, I wasn't training, I wasn't wrestling. Had slowed down the sacra and my heart locked down, scarring lockdown. It started to calcify inwards slowly and slowly. I was having more and more things such as my heart going out of rhythm. My legs swelling up. It was just

building up, going to doctor to doctor. All of these different things started. First few months, I was having all sorts of swelling in my legs. Going to scouting trip to Costa Rica. Get off the plane. I'm feeling dizzy, not so bad. Just so anybody knows, no drinking, no anything. This is all things with my heart. He fell forward down an escalator, shattering his left eye socket. Had three weeks of amnesia after that, no idea what happened. I was in a hospital for a week in Costa Rica.

Had shattered my eye socket, three weeks amnesia, lost of my vision in my left eye. Six weeks of treatment. Was getting better, but the legs kept swelling. Was having trouble walking. Finally there's a cardiologist in the room. This lady saved my life. She goes, hang on a second, there's something about that that doesn't look right. They scanned an area in his abdomen. Further scans were ordered. Called

from the cardiologist saying the sack had completely calcified. If they did not remove the calcified area, he had less than six months to live. Got a doctor in Atlanta to do it. Eight weeks in the hospitals. Keep in mind he was in charge of n x T during all of this time. Remember every now and then he wouldn't see him for a while. Oh, I know where he was at. Then he's in the hospital. Uh he was got he got into the ambulance after he fell out of bed New Year's Day. Uh, sepsis in his leg.

Doctor called the wife told her if they didn't cut off his leg, he had twenty four hours left to live. I don't know if you've noticed, but he didn't get his leg cut off. Uh. They he was injected with this this this, he said, that's what the doctor told him. And somehow, because they weren't gonna do what, they worked and they saved his leg. Two days before the X the UK show from Blackpool where Walter debuties in the hospital, something in his brain went click and he just thought,

I'm gonna be okay. And within a very quick time, he was walking three miles a day. Within two months he was doing five squads. Again. If you want to hear the whole thing, you can listen to uh to Jericho's podcast, because he talks about a lot of other stuff in addition to that, and UH, there you go, what what what do you say about that? It's just absolutely unbelievable resilience from from Regal and his his d

n A and his internal drive. Just wow, when your body turns on you like that, you know, and he's not an old man, but in wrestling years, you know, a lot of a lot of trend came off that tire. You know. It's just it's amazing. It's amazing what he's gone through, and it's amazing that he's still here and just an incredible I got it now. I'm definitely gonna listen to that. I was gonna listen to it anyway, but just just over his medical issues alone, I mean,

that is extreme. And then you think about and again I don't know what w E pays for and what he didn't you know, with his his status there, everything good can because you can you imagine being in a foreign country suffering like that. And I know Costa, Rica Belize are very you know are there's a lot of money there, so if you travel, you know, you can make out okay, but still you're in a foreign country and you have this stuff happened to you. It's just

all of these things. It's just It's amazing, absolutely amazing that he's alive and around and now you know, in a W going to give back in the same way he was in w W for such a long time. And I could see if he was salty by the end, as everybody talks about Brian about him being a little bit, you know, tough to deal with and a a little bit salty at the end. After going through all that stuff and after seeing what happened with n x D boy, I'll tell you what I'd say, he probably had a

right to be pretty slid. The it's real man's man right there. Damn right. Someone came up with that idea for the new group. The real Man's men love it. Back in the moments were live mo Day, Come Monday Day, Come Monday, Dame co Cough Monday, pretty little Spring. And I think it's me that he can give. My gosh, it's something that I won't try, but I'm in the show. Bryan Elber is here Wrestling Observer Live, Mike simper Vide

also Wrestling MS dot Com. Here we Go. W w E has filed a motion to dismiss an antitrust lawsuit from m l W l W filed suit against w w E in January, alleging they put pressure on third parties to abandon relationships with them. The suits specific mentions a deal with the Fox owned streaming service to b TV as MLW's lawsuits as a deal with them fell apart after w w E interfered. WWW's motion to dismiss reads.

mL w's claim for intentional interference with prospective economic advantage fails because MLW does not allege that w w E knew about mL w's negotiations to sell a third party

first run programming. W w E has been wrongfully well hold on here, w w EH, The lawsuit claims in early one w W executive contacted Vice TV and put pressure on them to stop working with m l W. Vice did air one MLW special in October seven, featuring Alexander Hammerstone defeating Jacob Fattoo to win the MLW Hovyweight title Cardbauer said w W has been wrongfully depriving its competitors of critical opportunities for many years. Its latest conduct

has been even more unconscionable. I think we speak for the rest of the professional wrestling world when we say that this anti competitive behavior has to stop. W W. A lawyer Jerry mcdivott, was quoted in The Observer regarding the lawsuit. He said, quote, if to be breached, then suit to be As to Vice, w W has no commercial relationship with them, or, for that matter, any of the other dozens of content distribution entities with whom mL W could do a deal if they had a commercially

viable product. They put a show on Vice, if my memory serves me correctly, after one of the dark Side shows and lost most of the audience. I think I read they got forty viewers. No wonder Vice did no

further deal. It's Jerry mcdivott. I love the petty. Oh my god, that's lawyer Petty right there, because you know, Jerry mcdivot isn't just like you know, hanging out with like knowledge of Vice ratings just at his side there he is right there, like, Oh, I recall it happened to come on after an episode of Dark Side of the Ring. I believe I lost all the viewers. I think it was forty thousand. Maybe I love it. I just it. This kills me, this whole suit. I have

no dog in this fight. I don't care. It is interesting. Where is the lawsuit for Time Warner and whoever it is that owns vice. Where is the lawsuit for to be? I I don't on paper, I don't see what court is. UH is gonna battle here, but that's I'm not a lawyer either, So they figure they have something there. But they're going up against a monster who will use anything at his disposal, including the words of Dave Meltzer, which uh, they usually always say, you know his his news is.

I don't know if he saw it in my timeline. In the w w e's response to the m l W lawsuit, besides the written response, they provided an exhibit. The exhibit Exhibit A was the October eighteen one issue of The Observer that covered bit of vie losing the thirty minutes head to head with a W as evidence that they were not a dominant monopoly. They're not a monopoly, so, as I noted, MLW luckily has thousands of fans on my timeline who can take the stand and say that

didn't count. Ah, that's what they'd be saying. It's not a monopoly. It's not a monopoly because on October one, we lost thirty minutes head to head with a W eighteen forty nine. But it's not monopoly. They're not a monopoly. They are dominant. They may use barbaric corporate practices. They may use aggressive and maybe even underhanded business techniques. We will find that out. But they're actually not a monopoly.

They're not. And a W actually showed that. You want to say that the business world is a monopoly for rich people and only those of the tippy top to be able to buy influence and to make enough friends and have people that work at networks. I will listen to your ideas. You want to say it's a monopoly for the rich, for the wealthy, for the for those people, for a different class. Sure, but actually the wrestling world is not a monopoly, and a W has proven that.

Read more Mike, sure this is gonna I hesitate to even read this all right. A W success further undercuts mL w's unsupported assertion that substantial barriers to entry existence from this is from w w E nerds. It goes on to write, the complaint alleges the w w E s popularity has quote declined over the last five years. It goes on to say that during the same period, a W enter the proposed market and successfully sold the

broadcast rights to Warner Media. Subsequently, a W managed to capture an average rating of point three four four compared to w W E Roz point five oh seven five in the Key eighteen to forty nine demographic, successful entry and expansion refutes the existence of substantial barriers to entry. Oh there's barriers to entry. You know. Had a guy the other day on my mimeline that was talking about how the key he actually wrote, the Key eighteen to

forty nine demo is not all that important. He actually he actually said the words key while saying it was not that important. Well, while putting a a picture of the actual top fifty cable rankings, which are in fact ranked by eighteen forty nine. Oh that was a fun day. Oh man. As somebody that studied pay per view by rates for a long time, so I had to go into a lot of old broadcasting cables and old Kagan surveys and all that sort of stuff from back in

the day. The eighteen forty nine demo absolutely positively has always one mattered at all times everywhere and has always been a part of them marketing that show, selling it to broadcasters. Nesh all those sorts of things. It has always mattered and it probably always will. He might be on the chat here he said key demos to mock you, Brian, to mock me. It is the key demo. Yeah, he's

been mocking himself by acting stupid. That's like mocking the fact that, like you know, drug manufacturers spent a lot of money on those news shows where it's like people were sixty and over. There's a reason they do that. That's their target. Since when it is eighteen to thirty four not a target for everything, Get the hell out

of here. Stop it. Combination of NBA and daylight savings time changed as always, daylight savings time changed the usual viewing patterns for Raw one point seven zero million viewers point four eight in the key eighteen to forty nine, moll I was second behind the Denver Nuggets versus Philadelphia seven seventy six NBA game one point six two million viewers and a point five three eighteen forty nine, barely ahead of a late game with the Milwaukee Bucks versus

Utah Jazz average one point four million. Tucker Carlson against the first hour of Raw. That sounds like an n X team name did three point nine five million viewers. They actually had a tuck or another think about it. A point three eight I was in sixteenth place for the night the hours one point six seven million viewers. We're back to nine pm one point seven five million. Hour two is now the most watched hour. And then it fell to one point six eight million viewers for

the third hour. So there you go. But you know what, everyone it was number two on Cable USA is happy. I'm sure that they're happy. Second hour of the big hour. One week of that, I guess until everybody gets acclama. It always kills me. Daylight saving this time throws such a wrench in everybody. Uh when it comes to their TV viewing the next day at night, it's just amazing. No longer it's not dark at four thirty when you

pick your kid up from school anymore. Yeah, you guys, you guys live further south, don't have to experience that. I walked to pick my kid up at school. It's dark. I walk a home in the dark. What with that? What is why would being in the sun further The further south you go, it gets dark a little bit later, whereas the further north you go you don't knowhing about the laughter. What do you what do you in like if you're a marathon at the bottom of the floor

to keys. You're telling me it's like, you know, two hours later they get like that much extra. Come on, don't even tell me exaggerating. Don't even tell me. I have to explain the sun and rather I live at

the beach. I watched you come up every morning, and I know how this never ending is if that they're you're adding like an hour onto those people's day that they're getting and you're not getting because you're all the way up north and you have to travel to go get your kids up hill five miles in the snow. No matter what, don't die on this hill, you idiot. You go a little further south and it's actually like

dark for eighteen hours all day because you're further north. Dude, the further south you go the day, I am Did you just say that? If I go where is there an eighteen hour day in the States at this time of year? Is that also where the Aurora borealis is right now? Can I take a look at that too, this guy? Yep, I agree with Brian. I lived in Boston. It was dark at three thirty in January. How about that? What are you doing? How do we talking about? Jeez?

Simp further three? I'm explained, I am explained. It's Boston in the winter. That's why it's like that. Geek. Can we go to goes down at four? Five or five? Whatever it is? Mike doesn't like science confirmed. I could have told you that. Jesus, Mike, go back to high school science. This person says, oh, man, oh my god, it still doesn't have any You have no proof that the people what is the time? How much more by in the deep parts of New Brunswick. Yea, because it's

north That's exactly what I said, and you ridiculed me. Oh, you live in Washington State. You're trying to act like people in the in the continental United States have it so much better than you because their day is so much longer. It is longer. It is longer. That's the point north you go, it's shorter. It's Thank god the raw n n x T report after the break, because

it can't be worse than that. Back in a moment Observer live, these people, Oh, get out of your mom ab oh man, let me talk about these shows because we missed the the Raw Report yesterday, which now was so far away I've forgotten about it. But luckily anyway, so Raw put up with Kevin Owens coming out. He cuts his promo on Steve Auston, dropped a hey o in there and promised to beat up uh Steve Boston WRESTLEMANI and then gave a stunner to a cameraman who

took a great bump. Great bump. Too bad. This guy wasn't in shape because of the Hada hired him. And we had Damien Priest versus Finnbalor. This was a non title match and they went seven minutes and then uh uh, Finn Valor hid him with the reckoning after Balor was distracted by Austin Theory. But by the way, they're not even the same show, nor feuding with each other, but

we needed some sort of interference here. So then Austin Theory gave Balor his finish and presumably, I mean, I shouldn't say anything, so I just won't, but anyway, he laid the guy out. We had Kevin Patrick talking to seth Rawlins talking about how you have no path to WrestleMania, and the fans in the background began loudly chanting for Cody, which they did not silence. They let it play. We had the long awaited the Medal of the Giants Omas and Commander A zs. And some people think I just

hate raw and I'm unfair. I'm a fair man. This match was so much better than I had any right to be. I was expecting this to be the bottom of the barrel, absolute trash, and it was totally fine. It was only two minutes and they didn't do anything, but it was so much better than expected. Almost pinned him with a tree slam and then choke slamed Apollo

Cruiz afterwards. It was fine two minutes of television. Then we had the ongoing storyline where Rawlins is going up Tones and he comes up with this idea again on wrestle Mania. I'm gonna do my own talk show. In fact, I'm an interview. Steve Austin Cavin Olans like, what are

you talking about, bro, that's my idea. You're trying to steal my spot, and so, long story short, they do a segment later and uh Sonya Deville puts the match together for the main event live, Morrigan beat Queen Selina when Carmela just is flirting and she actually no. First she was getting chased and she jumped into Corey Graves lap and then Corey and Carmel or kicking it Rea Ripley, and of course is Lena's distracted and pinned by Live Morgan in three minutes and uh that man, I can't

wait to see this match. We have to nothing happen in tag champs that now can't even get a long and work together anyway. Whatever, So it's gonna be a multi team match at the and WrestleMania, which for all I know, Zelena Live or Lenan Carmel are just gonna win. But honestly it should be Rea Ripley and uh and Live more. Yes, but Brian, what about you know Sasha Banks, she's a huge star, She's teaming with Naomi. They're gonna go for the titles at WrestleMania. They are, and they

should be screwed by Bailey coming back. That's my booking. And we had a seth rawlins segment which is noticed set up the match for the main event. Ray and Dominic defeated Shelton Benjamin and Cedric Alexander. At least they actually beat the hurt business. This week it was Dominic pinning Cedric with the frog splash, and then they were attacked and beat down by the Miss and Logan Paul.

But these damn heel mysterios. They said Miss outside and they're gonna double team Logan Paul, these two baby faces. But he manages to escape just in time, sets up the WrestleMania match. We had an Edge segment, bro this guy was so much better as a baby face. Dude. You'll never guess what he said in his heel promo trying to do a prediction segment. What did Edge say in his heel promo if you didn't watch Raw, Well,

if your answer is it's the fans, it's all your fault, fans. Yes, he blamed the fans and kind of promo saying you would beat a j at WrestleMania. If I never heard a guy blame the fans again, if I never heard it again, it would be too soon. Proper usage of that phrase. Bianca bill Aire be Doodrop. The match was good, bro, they always have good matches. I really like the match is this is the third time I've seen this match in five weeks, bro Hire. Some women bring up Dady's

girls something, don't push it yet. God, the same matches over and over again, even once. I like, I can only watch the same match so many times where I don't care anymore. Guys, no nothing, I'm not gonna use the term. Then r K BRO had their championship celebration. This was when the show totally turned around. This was awesome. So they're out there and they're celebrating and Randy Orton's arranged this celebration. Was Randy Oron. He has a point

of thought into this. He's got a couple of balloons that are deflated, a couple of a little bit of popcorn. But man met Riddles, the biggest fan of Randy Orton. So he's never been so happy. It's the greatest day of his life that Randy. They should be Randy and Dad. He's girl together. That's a team for you. But he's so happy that Randy has has thrown this party for him. And the street profits show up and they won a

championship match. They actually of all things. They go, we beat you in a non titled match a few weeks ago, we deserve a championship match. Randy's like, Bro, you ain't get a championship match. We had to win a spelling beat to get a shot at these titles. You ain't just getting a shot for winning a match. Ridiculous, silly, And then Riddles like, well, bro, we have to have a match up. Like we're all excited to go to wrestle Manie, we don't have an opponent, so I think

that we should give them a championship match. And so finally Ors like, fine, we'll give you a shot at WrestleMania. And then as they're leaving, montes Ford as the audacity to say that this party is ass. It's a two pack of ass. That's what he said. And now now Riddles furious and listen, I'm not doing this segment justice it was. It was ten thousand times better than I

explaining it. So so Riddle now he wants to fight, So it's Riddle versus montez Ford and they go nine minutes and uh, just a lame d Q and alph Academy runs in beats everybody up. So it looks like we're gonna have how many For some reason, seth Rawlins can't get a match at Mania, but like everybody else can get a match at WrestleMania. There's fifty people doing multiperson matches on this show. When Scott whole video package was great and then his note of the main event

was Kevin Owens and seth Rawlins. That a very good match. It went sixteen minutes. Seth had the wind but no ref and then uh, finally Kevin Owens boots him, hits him with the stunner, pins him seth Rawlins. Still no path to WrestleMania. You guys honestly watched this show and thought Cody ain't coming in. Really, what are you new? M M god. Then we had n x T. We're also there are p bowl without a path. Yeah, Cameron, no path to wrestle many. Maybe Cody's going to n

XT and thought of that. We had a Scott Hall tribute. Then we had the Cody the Cody n x T post show pizza party. I'm sure it would be fl Bro, that'd be awesome. I I do that so Miss TV with Dolves, Ziggler and Bro. When I heard we're gonna have Miss TV on n x T, I was like, God, I know you want people from the main roster, but I gotta watch this stupid thing. On two shows. Thankfully, it was short and quick. They went out there. They had a quick segment. It was interrupted by l A Night.

L A Knight wants a shot at the title. Ziggler said, all right, it's it's on for the main event here tonight. So that was fine. Then we had a show long storyline with Cora and Jade. Remember how the story was that she was a loser, then she was a geek, and then she was also weak. Remember that now she's a thief. She is she has stolen the n x T Women's title and the n x T Women's tag team battles theft. She stole them, and she's she's smirking

about it. Well, Brian, do you remember the deal she did with Raquel where they did the whole like they were like flying from tree to tree and all that stuff. Maybe she's just like one of those are dremaline junkies who needs to like, you know, like petty crimes to like get off or something. We don't know what the development of this character has stolen these belts. She's a thief, and the whole show, the whole show, Toxic Attraction wants

to find their belts. Okay, so the heels have been wronged, they have been robbed, and they're going to try and find their belts. So, you know, one of them, one of the you know, I forget their name, j C. Like she you know, she sees one of the belts, and I swear to God, she sees the belt hanging from something, and she sneaks up and she goes, oh, it didn't chup in me. I'm gonna try and grab it, and she grabs it in a you know, the Ran Corps door slams or what ever. And now she's trapped

and then uh, the other one. Bro. The best part about it too, though, is but she's blocked behind the game, but there's a camera man suddenly behind her, filming from behind. So then the other one finds it a dumpster, but like the dumpster clothes on her, and then a forklif comes down, so they're both trapped. Okay. Then then not only not only is Cora Jade stolen these championship belts, but she goes to steal Mandy Roses Escalade. She's gonna

steal her car. Well, she gets in the car and she looks in the rear view and Mandy's in the car of course she is. And she starts beating up cor and we're supposed to like feel sorry for this thief who tried to steal an escalade, and then Manny just beats the absolute living hell out of her and leaves her her dead, like you know, some some horrible It's just she's dead on the concrete. And then somehow the other two have escaped, and then they're all there

so they can pose. What did she spray paint on her back? I thought it was gonna be Was she just put paint on her Oh my god, this was beyond There was no Emmy getting one for this, I'll tell you that much. What How did you feel about the Thespianism or whatnot? There was no Thespianism in this whatsoever? That is That is profound disrespect to Thespians everywhere. Now they continue. We had Santos Escobar beating Cameron Grimes. This

is actually a really good match. Santo's beat him clean in the middle, pinned him a lot of heel clean wins on this show. Just pinned him clean in the middle of the ring. So Escobar's in the ladder match and Cameron Grimes has no path to WrestleMania. They found a kid and he beat Kushita, and so this kid now is going to face uh I think Trick Williams next week and the winner gets into the ladder match.

Match was good, but Bro, I've said a million times, these guys could have a match in every other promotion on the face of this planet, including up in New Brunswick on a very short day, and it would be better than this match. Waller winner, by the way, Then we had a segment I was so excited almost peede straight up in the air. Quite frankly, they almost set up Santos Escobar and Raymisterio oh Man. Instead it's Dominic Mysterio against Raoul Mendoza. No disrespect to either of them, Bro,

I want to see a Raymisterio in Santos Escobar. We had Tiffany Stratton versus Serai, which was the biggest load of trash I ever saw. So Sia's gimmick is she wears a school girl outfit backstage, but she goes through the magic smoke in her entrance wearing her medallion and she transforms into a worker. Well, Tiffany attacks her backstage and tears off the medallion. So now, and this was her exact words, she's unable to do her transform. A. Yes,

she beat her ass through the entrance. She rolled her out there, and apparently if you get rolled out there by somebody else, you don't transform. So she's thrown out there. She gets beaten up, and uh, Tiffany Stratton does a spinning Vader splash right to the legs of Sarai. I think she broke both her legs. We had a chump of promo thanking the fans. It looks like he's on his way out after standing the liver. His last match will be against Tony di'angelo. It appears Indy hartwell persha parata.

I mean, it wasn't that bad. But if you've ever seen a match that was practiced three times and they just went out and did what they practiced and there was like no emotion or nothing. This was it. We had to return to the creep from the creep Farm. A lot of making out afterwards. Damn it, there's the music. I thought I'd do it, but I didn't last two matches after the break observe her live. I couldn't get

it all in before the break. But anyway, Dominic Mysterio beat Raulman Mendoza, which actually a good match, and Dominic Mysterio is better and people give him credit for because he's on Raw and all that, but Mendoza are so good. Well, those two guys don't get any credit. And we had the end of the Core of Jade thing and uh, we had a second with the Creed Brothers m s

K and Imperium. Dude. I don't like to bury the fans, but I hate these nerds that just have to boo MSK and they ruin all the segments and it's like a small pocket of fans gotten mad at them, and it's on national television. In this little building, it was like whatever, whatever. And then we had Dolves Ziggler versus l A. Night, which that was a good match. It's Dolves Ziggler and l A. Knight and they worked well together. And then same thing. Uh, they were actually interferes but

we didn't lead to the finish at all. It was like ten minutes before the finish and then finally l A Night just goes for a charge. Mrs gets super kicked pin clean in the middle of the ring. Now we gotta give Ziggler a little credibility after he won the title, of course, and then braun Breaker hits the ring and he's he's not smiling Rob roun Breaker today, he's uh, he's Scott Steiner, not Rick, He's Scott and he wants a match at standing the liver and Sigler

holds up the belt excepts. So you know, there was good stuff on this show, but I can't help but notice that every time there's something good, it involves professional wrestlers who are doing professional wrestling for a long time and all of their volleyball and fitness and just sucks. But oh well, we just gotta keep trying, right, We just gotta keep doing those n I L s. Let's keep doing those tryouts with no wrestlers allow out. We can only make this thing worse.
