Hey, this is Brian Alvarez and this is today's edition of the Wrestling Observer Daily podcast on the eight Side Network. Ready, Ready, let's get it all. How's it going, everybody? Brian Alvarez here on Wrestling Observer Live. We are here every day Monday through Friday, New Pacific three Eastern, Sunday three Pacific, six Eastern Saturdays, tending a Pacific one Eastern with the returning Jim Valley the show from Las Vegas this weekend.
Holy smokes, you'd love to get into here today. Bad news is always, but also we've got some lineups and some fun stuff to get into here as well. I want to invest wishes to the family of Carl Lour Cauliflower Alley Club. We talked about it last night on the Wrestling Observer Radio show with Dave Meltzer, man of a few times. Didn't really know him all that well, but he was a key figure in uh call Flower Alley, which was not why Jim Valley was in Las Vegas,
mind you. But I would bet that Jim Valley will be attending the Cauliflower Alley Club banquet coming up this year as well. The Ormond the Ormond Beach Police Department provided an update on the criminal investigation of Tammy Sich w w WE Hall of Famer, suspected of d u I and a fatal car crash led to the death of seventy five year old Julian Lassener. March. Department released a statement to p W Insider noting that they have received part of the toxicology report. We ever see part
of the toxicology report. If charges are filed, they will not be until the investigation is completed. We will update the press release once a decision is reached. You know, this is this is not new and I don't even listen. I'm not in this line of work. But I remember in the nineties. Obviously there were a lot of issues with drugs and alcohol in the nineties and lots of toxicology reports. Oh my god, those things took forever to
come back, and uh, here we are. It's now twenty two and I guess I kind of had this idea that you know, it's been uh whatever, you know, twenty five years. These things got to come back faster nowadays. No, So anyway, still waiting for the results of toxicology test taken on March. We're after the Break, Wrestling Observer Live than than back in the show. Bright nowbur is here Wrestling Observer Alive. Mike simper viv also Wrestling Observer dot Com.
We got a lot of news to get into to mention Rampage and SmackDown and row to Night and heck Tea tomorrow. Listen, I'm gonna go over the full lineup for an x T later because it's not very important, but I'm going to ask a question here because I'm gonna give everyone a little bit of time to uh, to think about it. I don't even know why, but they've announced that Tony D'Angelo is facing Zion Quinn. So is Zion Quinn supposed to be a baby face? Is Tony D'Angelo supposed to be a baby face? Or is
this heel versus hell? So anyway, you can think about that for a while as I talk about the news. M l W has responded to w w e's March motion to dismiss the former antitrust lawsuit against the Ladder
wants this dismissed. In a statement filed Friday in U S. District Court in the Northern District of California, m l W asserted they have quote properly pleaded all of its claims for relief in their initial genuine lawsuit when they alleged w w E put pressure on third parties to abandon relationships with m l W. The suit specifically is pointing to a failed deal with Fox owned two B t V, where MLW is claiming Stephanie McMahon pressured Fox and to be executives to quote deny mL W a
time slot that would compete head to head with w w E s n x T programs, and to quote terminate the agreement with MLW in its entirety. MLW said that for these antitrust claimant our section to the Sherman Act, they only needed to allege it or alleged the w W E both possessed monopoly power in the relevant market and willfully acquire or maintain that power. M l W
and questionably properly alleges they wrote both elements. M l W has pleaded the irrelevant market broadcast rights for professional wrestling programs, and such a single professional sport or form of entertainment can as core it's of repeatedly recognized constitute a market, whereas alleged here it attracts unique audience, limiting
the number of economic substitutes. MLW also alleges w W es monopoly power because, among other things, it holds eight of the relevant market and has reduced the output of professional wrestling broadcasts. MLW's pleaded w WS willfully acquired and maintained that monopoly power by preventing MLW from distributing its programs through to B and vice, by locking up, russing talent and key networks with exclusivity agreements, and by other
conduct to constrain competitors and competition. W w E argues MLW's claim is insufficient because w w WE contented does not alleged facts quote suggesting that w w WE could possibly hold any power over the dozens of not hundreds, of networks, cable and streaming services which w w E has no commercial relationship with. There's much more on this in the uh on the front page of Rustling Observer
dot com um. There is, of course, the quote from Jerry mcdivid and the Observer, if to be breached then sued to be As to vice, w w has no commercial relationship with them, or, for that matter, any of the other dozens of contact distribution entities with whom mL W could do a deal with 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, they lost most of the audience. I think
I read they got forty viewers. No wonder, Vice did no further deal. Sky's brutal. Holy smokes, he's brutal. But anyway, anyway, there's a point to all of this. I'll just cut to the chase. I don't know who's right and who's wrong. I don't know what's going on, Okay, but mL W absolutely believes that they have a case here and there is wrongdoing by w W. E And I bring this up because you ain't going all this trouble and and demanding a jury trial just to whatever. I mean, there's
there's a belief here and uh. And I bring it up because you remember the whole thing with bots. Everybody ridiculed Tony Khan, but the bots. I don't know what's going on. I don't know who's I don't know if I don't like to say I don't know who's behind the box, because it sounds like it's a storyline from Sonic the Hedgehog. But the point is, I don't know
who's behind all of this or whatever. But the fact of the matter is this also not something Tony con made up, not something he just wanted to tweet for attention. Something's going on. Is he gonna get lititious? He might. That's why I'm bringing it up here, Like, don't think that this is just like some goofy thing that Tony came up with. This could be litigated. I guess we'll find out at the end of this, uh this investigation here. But sometimes I think that fans hear these stories are like, ah,
it's not always that. Sometimes there's something going on. So anyway, that's the story. Well, we guy like Tony Khan. I mean, you know, he's not just some blowhard indie local promoter. I mean, if he's gonna tweet something, there's probably something behind it. Whether you like what's behind it or not, a different story. But you know, MLW, there's gonna be a lot that has to come out about this before I think anybody can really make their minds up on it.
One of the reasons why is because what was this spot that they were offered on to be which is a streaming service. It's like everything else. There's a portal you can go through and watch Sky News or watch local affiliates, Fox affiliates and owned affiliates from across the country.
So I don't know, you know, were they were they going to be offered a spot head up really or were they just going all those little things like that with MLW is claiming and what WW is claiming that they didn't do all of it's just gonna have to come out and the wash once this thing, I guess goes to trial if it actually makes it that far.
As far as Jerry McDivitt goes, he's a very tough opponent to go head up against, and he is, I'm sure going to be quite colorful and full of himself and what is probably going to be one would assume one of his last high profile cases here, at least with w W for for at least for the time being. Right now, I'm not gonna address this on the air. I'm dealing with something in the chat here which one YouTube or twitch well actually I think it's a YouTube
guy on Twitch. He's actually just he's very upset that Tony mentioned this three weeks ago. We haven't had an update yet. Bro, we can't get toxicology reports back in four weeks. So you think they're gonna finish this investigation and do all of this in three weeks. The investigation is ongoing, Bro, This could be six months, it could be a year. I don't know how long it's gonna take. But like the st Perry Mason or in an hour, we're gonna have an answer to this question. It's gonna
take a while. Yes, I name dropped Perry Mason sports show from uh court show from back in the day. Why is it probably played baseball or something? Do you ever watched murder? She wrote? Remember that show? I'm starting to show. You gotta ask her Like for some reason, in that little small town around this woman, everybody kept dying. There always seemed to be something happening. Yet she and she was involved in all of it, yet never never
was looked at as a suspect. Well, when you live in a small town, there's like one person in charge of, you know, doing all this stuff. I think she was. Maybe they were doing something. Get out of here, you know what I mean. John Cena recently offered some praise for us in theory. He sent a message on social media for the sixteen time World Champions birthday. The message included an apology from the twenty four year old This is Austin Theory for quote being a better US champ.
Theory also attached a video of him telling a young Sena that he is a young Scena fan that he is better than their hero. Sena responded by saying Theory shouldn't apologize for having more talent. He should only apologize after twenty years if he hasn't put in the work required to capitalize it. This John Seene is something else. He's a He's a robot, not even saying that like an in a negative way. I guess it's kind of a negative, but it's not. I'm actually not meaning it
to be negative. All he's very robotic, like exactly what he's going to say in all of these circumstances. And uh, he did, however, say because I think it's usually generic and right, like usually people can't complain about well this was in his programming, because whoever programmed this like is a robot. He just has to repeat it. But as a human being, he goes what am I saying here? He goes, ever understands you have far more talent, strength, and gifts than I ever had. Well, first off, it's
an objective fact. He does not have more strength than you, John Cena, You're much stronger than Austin Theory. I could say that as a factual statement. Now, talent and gifts, well, I don't know about that. I would say that in terms of like athleticism and the ability to be limb burr. Yes, Austin Theory is is uh more talented than than John Cena. So physical gifts, I could argue that maybe Austin Theory has more than John Cena, but certainly not strength and talent.
I mean, what are you talking about, brother? I mean maybe someday, but not right now. So anyway, you know what this is all about. It's Austin Theories and new shows in one and I would not be surprised if Vince wanted Seena to come back and put over Austin Theory back in a moment. It's a revived the show. Brian Elber is here Wrestling Observer Live. Mike simbur viv also Wrestling Observer dot com. More news. We'll do some
reviews here in a while. Rampage bounced around the schedule and made due to T and T S coverage of the NBA and NHL playoffs, because it depends on who is playing when there's no set time past this coming Friday, A schedule the regular time slot Base six right now schedule for six eastern, three Pacific. I can't wait to like post those ratings and a bunch of nerds talk about how the show's dying three Pacific, six eastern, which I think would be uh one in the afternoon in Hawaii.
That's gonna say what two mountains, five mountain wherever the hell it is too. And also update from the Summer Slam tickets. Tickets when I've sealed the public on Friday, they went up twenty three thousand tickets in the pre sale, they've opened up down thirty five thousand, and about nineteen thousand tickets are out, which is paid and comps. So that's the update on SummerSlam. Probably will I would think get close to selling out thirty five but I suppose
we shall see well live. UK viewers of Rampage ought to be happy. I know there's not many of them, but I guess ten pm wouldn't be around that British summertime or whatever it is. So at least they're making on the Steel. Becky Lynch will be returning to Raw tonight. This is the lineup for the show. Everybody, of course, this is This is the lineup as of Friday, so it's possible nothing I tell you right now actually happens tonight.
We have Bianca bell Air versus Sonya Deville for the Raw Women's title, and I think they did that match is like a dark match at the SmackDown tapings on Friday night, which obviously Bianco won, so they are practicing
the match, so I presume that's taken place tonight. And by the way, as we'll get to on SmackDown, Sony Deville maybe just moving into the full time wrestler gig, because they're teasing that there is a potential new assistant for Adam Pierce Randy Orn's twenty anniversary celebration, which when you think about it, you know, I got a I got a six year old now, Paisley six years old old, and sometimes I sit there and, oh my god, she's six years old already, like at the time, just it flies.
How many times do we hear that? How how fast. These children grow up and it's like a blink of an eye. But then I hear that Randy Orton has only been in w W for twenty years, and it's like Jesus, it seems like it's been about, I mean, five lifetimes he's been with that company, So time is weird. I believe Albert Einstein once said that it's weird this whole time thing. We had the Return to Becky Lynch and then and arm wrestling Challenge. Bobby Lashley will be
facing oh Moss in an arm wrestling challenge, not a match. Yeah, it's a challenge. Well, you have reviewed many an old wrestling show that has featured the arm wrestling challenge, whether it be Superstar Billy Graham and the Barbarian and UH on Saturday Night, Old end u a Action, And they've done this in w W E plenty of times. And I have a feeling, no matter what happens, it's going to end with a table being turned over and somebody smashed over the head with it. You know, I think
they should do anything. They should have Omas and Lashly sit down at that table, slam dun contest, put their arms up. The referee says go and they they fight, and they fight and they fight. One of them wins clean then the loser says, damn, you are stronger than I am. And they shake hands and they're all part of m v P S unit. Can can we get that idea? Can we get that? Lucky? No, of course not just say you talk about me wanting to have hope for some of these things and fantasy booking something
coherent and happy to happen on these pro rams. There would be nothing better than that. The only thing that would be better than that is if at some point, as they're doing that, the music hits and Shelton Benjamin and Cedric Alexander come out there and they all look like they're ready to fight, and they don't, and they all put on their hurt business shirts and everybody Bobby lash. He's got a suit that is only matched by m v P. They give almost a suit and they're back
as a unit. And the only time we see almost is when he is there nine and he's putting somebody through a table with a choke swam. I think it happened, brother, I wish it would alright. So n XT on Tuesday, we have got solo Sokoa versus Trick Williams Fellon Henley. I have to totally turn away from the microphone, never say that name. She will a team with Josh Briggs and Brooks Jensen against Electro Lopez, Cruise del Toro and Joaquin wild Tikedalliance faces Lash Legend and boy did I
your Oh yeah, a rumor this weekend? Can you be exposed this please? Well, well no, let's wait till tomorrow. Let's just put it this way. It's possible. This is not the last you've seen of last Legend versus Nikila Lyons. Some of you will be in rapture, the others will be in in hell. We have got Nathan Fraser making his n x T two buin no debut. Every time I hear that, I think it's gonna be the debut of Ah, what's that guy from Men on a Mission?
A really big one, Mabel, Mabel. I keep thinking that that's Nathan Fraser, but I don't think that wasn't his real name, Nelson Fraser. Nelson Fraser. Yes, And then Uhtana Chance and Caden Carter face Ulyssa Leone and Valentina Ferraz. Have they gone through a promo as to how they've changed their names that they didn't do that last week, did they? Because if they do one, I need to hear Vinny Uh go ahead and re enact that because
it ought to be something. And then we've got to is noted Tony di'angelo the the mobster against Zion Quinn the jerk bro. Everybody's a heel on this show. I'm I'm I'm just this one. I got a feed everybody, who am I supposed to cheer for in this match? Of anybody? And if not, why am I watching a match with two people that are that are heels for? Not like there's not a reason for it. They never switched diamond mind Chase, you didn't get like are they
bad guys? I mean every and they're supposed to I don't know. I guess it depends on the scenario. But like, this is what Cody had said about a w that people had took and ran with about the tropes about good guys and bad guys, And this is the greatest example of it. Things just happened on this show, but tween people for no reason. Look how we got to D'Angelo and Uh and Phantasma in the first place. We've got Tyson Fury bringing up Drew McIntyre's name during a
postfight press conference in the UK. They were gonna do this match, and then the pandemic put a the old kabash on that, and so it looks like I wouldn't be surprised at all. Summer Slam wrestlemany next year. Just uh, I saw the law the Dylan White. I hadn't seen him fighting a while, so I saw the knockout happen.
But the most interesting part of the fight is the fact that somehow Tyson Fury does not get winded upon his ring entrance coming to the ring, which is if you took Jerry Lawler and Dusty Rhodes and I don't know who the longest ring entrances in history have been, you know, showing off going down the aisle. This was it. I think Princess Diana got down for the wedding in a faster time than he actually did make in it
to the ring with his seventy seven different songs. Out of the six title matches Saturday's Impact Rebellion pay per view, three titles changed hands. Josh Alexander beat Moose for the Impact World title, of course he had won it, and then there was the immediate cash in by Moose, so he never even got to put the belt on. Then, of course he had issues with his visa contract expired.
I think they always knew that he was almost as surely going to resign the way they shot the angles and everything like that, So this was their big match one on one for the title. Josh Alexander won the belt. Back also had Ace Austin winning the X Division title
in a match with Trey mcguel and Speedball. Mike Bailey and Tie of Valkyrie beat Diana Parazzo for the Reina da Rena's title, and I'm gonna watch um at least I think those matches tomorrow morning before the show with Lance, so if you're an Impact fan, we'll review those on the land Storm show tomorrow today. On thinking for a dealing with Tom Lawler, it is going to be SmackDown and uh New Japan strong, and I don't know if I'm gonna be able to get through the I think
we're the semifinals of the Cinderella Tournament. Tom has watched everything so we can talk about I'm not trumany will get to it, but that's the lineup for the Filthy Tom Lawler Show today, because we do what we can. You know what I'm saying, There's a lot of wrestling out there there. I can't keep up with all of it. It's crazy, it is crazy. It's madness. I would go as far as to say, not macho madness, just madness. We also have a new Japan title change. Shingo did
in effect beat tai Chi. He is a new provisional King of Pro Wrestling two champion. I guess it's provisional because next year it'll be three. Yeah. So it was a thirty count match. The first wrestler to get a combined thirty count in pinfall attempts well declared the winner. So I haven't seen it yet, but when you think about it, this should mean like Shingo could have hit him with a pumping bomber and got a nineteen count, but since it wasn't thirty, he would still have to
get eleven more counts. Is that how worked? Isn't like you to get a two count fifteen times? No? No, it was a culmination, so if you got like a two then that went on the topeboard exactly. But I mean could I could he could he pin him for third for for twenty two seconds and then the guy kicks out of twenty three and it's not over ye
because it's not a combined thirty. I assumed it was always like the deal that we'd always see on TV, where like somebody would get hit, the guy would get knocked out, the guy, you know, the person is down there for a ten count, but the referee doesn't see it. He sees a two counts that the guy kicks out, you know, and then that would count for twelve. I guess in this situation, if he just stood down there, he'd keep pinning him, keep going, and then that's it.
I'm done with that whole kopw thing. More Well, luckily for you, it's provisionally Observer Live bag in the show. Brian Eber is here Wrestling Observer Live misimp BB also Wrestling Observe dot Com. Quick look at these two shows and we'll do some feedback. So, uh, Adam Cole, is she E excellent match? Distraction finish, but it was very good. Walt lasted. It was a total Adam Cole match with she E being is she doing all of his spots
as well? I love this match, very very fun and H J. White attacked Rocky Romero distraction low blow by Cole hit the boom, got the wind. He is in the owen Hart Cup tournament. We had Lance Archer squashing Serpentico to lead to the match with Wardlow on Dynamite. Dan Housing and Hook are in fact apparently gonna have a match. I don't know when. They haven't announced it yet, but it's gonna happen. Eddie Kingston Daniel Garcia eleven minutes. Both this and the opener were heavily edited because I
don't know why. I mean, Tony Cohn normally does a great job timing out shows, but both of these matches went very long, and they chopped him up for TV, which makes me wonder about the timing of everything, Like why didn't we start this tournament qualifying matches a few weeks back so we could you know, if if you want the match to go twenty minutes on TV, then you know, do one this week and one last week. But we had them both here and they both got edited.
They were both good, but damn it, if I'm gonna if you're gonna do the match, I want to see all twenty minutes of it right, Well, hindsight being, I wouldn't include the main event and this and just what went with the two matches, and spend more time building up Marina and Jade, and maybe I'm glad they're over. I'm glad they're done with it. They they spent they I don't know, in a vacuum. How many times have you given this speech in the last twenty four hours
in a vacuum? It was better than expected. They did a good job outside the vacuum. Looking at the build up, the character of Marina, the totally blowing her off by Jade Cargill, I mean it was baffling. I mean she comes out, Marina's got an m m A gimmick, She does no m m A. She gets mounted, her holds get broken out of, she gets humiliated by the baddies. She doesn't get a revenge on the batties. Jade Cargill
totally no cells. The big submission attempt at the end, hits her with her move pinzer, Like she was right all along. Marina was no threat whatsoever, Like that was a payoff to all of this. Like I don't think Marina's it a one at all, But I don't know what I was expecting, but the payoff to it was
just like, let's I don't know. I just I look at Marie's chaffer and see her outside of a w and it's like, she obviously has got a lot of work to do in a long way to go as far as her pro wrestling goes, as far as getting comfortable in there and you know, emoting and all that sort of stuff. And I thought they had a little rough diamond there where if you bring her in, you put her with a group or with something, and you
bring her along slowly. You can show her off and kind of educate your fans as to why she's dangerous, bring up the blood sports stuff and the cool stuff she's done there, and bring her along. And I thought there were plenty of women out there for Jade as she continues her winning streak to go through. There's plenty of women on the ind scene to bring in for one night, to go ahead and do something like this.
And I maybe I see more in Marina Sheffir than than anybody else does, But I didn't think they did a good job. I mean, I'm not saying this kills her dead. We've seen a lot of people coming too. A W dropped their first math j lefal other people and then they have, you know, something to sink their teeth into afterwards. But I just didn't think they did
a good job here at all. And then we had SmackDown, so we had If you went to SmackDown live, it's not really a spoiler, but you've got two contracts signings the same live event because they did a contract signing on this show and then they do a contract signing next week which was taped in the same show. If you like contracts signings, if I got a live event for you, So anyway, table got tipped over, everyone signed. This is leading to a beat the clock challenge next
week to make people say I quit. This is better than usual with round and rousing. She was way better than usual in this segment. She was smiley, had some charisma, didn't look like she hated life or didn't want to be there. She was good. In this segment. We had Xavier beating Butch with a small package, and then of course Butch freaked out and ran off and they lost him again. Whatever that means another Butch losing streak. Is this where we're at with us. He's not a losing streak.
It's just as his gimmick, he loses and gets mad. He's only been there three weeks. Shankly has challenged Rick is sche for next week. Can't wait to see that one. You know, you got a guy like Ricochet, you make him champion. And then I got an idea. Let's have him faced large immobile guys week after week, not matches where he can shine necessarily, but him and Shankly is coming up. And by the way, this guy doesn't even know what how lumberjack match works, which was pointed out
by commentary on the show. Gun third killed Teddy Goods. It was awesome, It was great. McAfee, Riddle and j Ouso finished with another small package, two in a row. Is that lazy book? And then we got another small package in the tapings, so they share like them small packages in this company. This was a good match, very very good match. Roman Reins was disgusted and on the Filthy Tom Show today, I'm going to book the next pay per view, which they did not do. They're doing
something different and I'm I'm baffled. I believe I have a much much better idea. Well is your strong open weight champion for one year now going to be a part of that somehow the booking of the next pay per view now, but he'll be everybody. No, no, I do think it was very simple what they could have done, but they're not doing it. We have Sasha Banks and Naomi are doing a promo and Nattie and Shane to
come out, so they're gonna be the next challengers. Happy Corbin tries to get Madcap Moss back as his buddy again. Matt Cap makes a bad joke about him having no hair, which led to capt beating Angel. If you watch Madcap versus on Berto last week, I think they might have
replayed it. I'm not entirely sure exact exact same match in fact, in fact, do something here real quick, m as you do that, Imagine having Riddick Moss under contract for so long, never being able to figure out anything to do with him, and then when you do, you give him this that won't get him over at all. Is a baby face? Oh my god? So uh. The match with Angel was two minutes and twenty four seconds and the match with him Berto was two minutes and
twenty seven seconds. They were three seconds apart. So when I said it was the exact same match, I was not kidding. Shave a couple of seconds off both of those matches. You'll be able to put him up in full on Twitter. It was incredible if you still use Twitter today. Then we had Sammy Zane asking for help in the lumberjack match. We had a Lacey Evans gimmick, which was great. Here's another one. Yeah, and you know what, you know what, I'd like to be that guy, be
that guy. When Cameron Grimes did that awesome video package about his father who died and how his final words were that he signed with n x TIN he was gonna be a champion there and it was three years and he let his father down, and damn it, he was gonna go into this this uh you WrestleMania weekend show and win that title. And what did I say? I said, You'd have to be the biggest idiot, the biggest moron to screw this up. This is idiot proof. It's right there. And you know what, Oh brien, they'll
screw it up. Oh we have no faith. It's n x T two point. You know what they screwed up. They did absolutely exactly right so there's a possibility they won't screw up Lacey Evans. Is there a possibility they will? Of course they're incompetent, But this one's This one's also idiot proof, so we'll see. But it was idiot proof from day one though. Dude gimmicks and she was that's what I'm saying, a Southern Bell's Macy Australia. That's her real name. Want it's a killer name and was it
that way? But the whole thing was she comes in as Lacey Evans and that's what they gave her, was the Southern Bell thing, and it just didn't when you look. Her whole story has been out there for a long time. We talked about it on here as to why this is so baffling. Yeah, and maybe now they can get it right. But again, it takes time and it takes development.
We'll see what happens. They tend to lose interest in people, even if it's this great thing, even if it's emotional, even if it's really real, They figure out a way to either talk themselves out of it or lose interest or go a different way. This person here is absolutely right. They should reboot the marine and have a Lacey be the star. Yes, way better than the miss. Yes take the miss seriously in that role? Are you kidding? Who was a better marine? He or Ted dvlc Jr. I
didn't see that one. Drew mctyre Sammy Zane in a lumberjack match ended via count out, count out. And you know what, everyone here is waiting for me to just flip my lip and I'm not gonna. You wanna know why because I often see these absolutely stupid finishes and and they're done in a way where their assumption is that I'm an idiot and I'm just gonna accept it. And this and that this was not that at all.
This was this was on purpose preposterous to the point where Adam Pierce came out and said, in all my years, I never thought I would see a count out in a lumberjack match. It was acknowledged how stupid this was. And uh, and it did play into the story and it don't get me wrong, it was stupid, okay, but
it was it was in storyline. Also is stupid not like in storyline it made sense, but it's stupid, you know, like the you know, the d Q and Helen his cell where then they tried to just change everything and blah blah blah blah blah. So this is leading to a cage match with Sammy Zane and Drew mc attire where I don't know what's gonna happen. Actually don't know what happened in the spoilers, but it better not be escaped the cage or I'm gonna be Then then I
will be angry if it's escaped. The cage rules after three weeks of a guy running away, and so his punishment is a match where the rules are you have to run away, then I will be angry. Okay, but anyway, that's what happened. Do you think we're going to get Sonya Deville and Adam Pierson to match down the line? They won't even let Adam Pierce wrestle a guy. Yeah, but they're letting Google I get beat up all the time. That's his rule. He's gonna get beat up all the time.
Adam Coles the one that's guy a little bit of credibility. It's other poor geek. He's just yeah, that's it. Drew Gulak is his new uh what do they call it? Intern inn Okay, So yeah, exactly, it's like, okay, so you're you're you know, not do anything as a wrestler in storyline? Do you want another role? Okay, well you can train for it, but we ain't gonna pay you. It's a billion dollar company. I mean maybe he's a paid in turn, those do exist? Can you or Mike
do it? Tony D'Angelo impression? No, am I supposed to be a good guy or a bad guy. I don't know what's my inspiration exactly. People will make fun of that, but that's that's you know, I need some sort of besides this motivation. Who was part of Italian? How do you know? I'm not offended by the characterization of Italians and and and and and those types of things. With Tony D'Angelo here making him cockery of things? Is that what they're doing? I don't know. They're making a mockery
of a lot. Well yeah, actually they are making a mockery of things, aren't they. Oh, this guy says, make sure you watch Jonah versus a she E from the Impact Show as well. That match was awesome. I'll bet it was. They do the greatest thing on Impact, which is like every now and then you see something it's like how in God's name is no one else ever
thought of that before. So what they do is the cameraman he like takes his camera off his shoulder, he puts it on the canvas in the opposite corner of that.
Jonah is gonna do the big splash, and so you see Jonah come off and when he splashes the guy, of course, the entire matt bounces up and down and so the camera goes which is which by the way, it's like, you know, it's stupid when w W E purposely like the there's a guy that shakes the camera or whatever, but putting putting the camera on the canvas and having the whole thing like there's a giant earthquake
when he lands. That's awesome. Back in a moment, got an email here actually is a text message from somebody who says that he was at the Rampage show and he uh he actually uh filmed the Garcia Eddie match on his phone, and so he says, I can say that it was sixteen minutes, not twenty two minutes like Dave reported. The only thing removed from the match was one minute due to the commercial breaks. So he's saying that it was very very little editing in the Garcia
versus Eddie match. So that's from somebody there who says that they filmed the match on their phone. So there you go. I might be able to get you maybe be able to get a lot of that. Maybe it's not even for anything other than just the static purposes and just to clean things up. I mean, with the way things are looking for them going up against the NBA and NHL playoffs, I mean, take advantage of the fact that you're gonna have things moved around, and there's
things you can clean up before it goes on. Person says lashing Lions are eventually wrestling inside Helen his cell, aren't they. That's not what I heard. No, I'd be better off with one and done. And he presumes Tony d and Quinn are both heels facing each other. Why it's gonna end in a no contest or a win for Quinn When Tony D'Angelo gets sneak attacked by Legato somehow, dang it, I don't have time. I'm gonna try and tell this story really quick. Al right, rememb're talking about
my iPhone and the auto correct. Yeah, I swear to god, this is a true story. I was in downtown Bothele and I was across the street is like eight o'clock at night from this place called the Hopping Hound, which is like a bar, and I look over. I swear to God, there's these ducks walking down the street towards opp and Hound. And I took a picture of my son and my wife and I texted, uh, look at these ducks. I swear to God. I swear to God. Everybody, you gotta go talk to you next time. Wrestling Up
