1:19

friendo Steve here. Hello. And

1:22

welcome back to Going In Raw, the

1:24

only pro wrestling podcast you need to

1:27

be listening to on today's episode. We're

1:29

taking a look at last night's AEW

1:31

Dynamite on the road to double or

1:34

nothing. We got a couple more matches announced

1:36

and a big turn for

1:38

Swerve Strickland against

1:41

Swerve Strickland. It's his

1:43

friends. They turned on him. They were his

1:46

friends. They were his friends. Not

1:48

anymore. Nope. Anyways, we're going to talk about

1:50

that and everything that happened last night at AEW Dynamite.

1:53

Also, we got a public service announcement about

1:55

how to behave properly at wrestling shows. But

1:57

first, we're going to talk about the AEW

1:59

Dynamite. Sorry about this man. Another

2:02

huge loss for a W W

2:04

E. Larson. Debbie to be touted.

2:07

Back. France as the

2:09

largest gate have any arena show

2:11

and Wb history and during the

2:14

most recent Wrestling Observer Radio. Those

2:17

other guys game. Noted

2:20

that while the show garnered a three. Million.

2:24

Dollar gave us huge that. Other

2:26

metrics might suggest the show was

2:28

nap popular outside of. Leone.

2:31

The. Transcripts come to you via Wrestle

2:33

Talk. Is what the wrestling observer

2:36

the other guy said Another guess. The.

2:38

Last debate or V show the So

2:40

from France. as far as interest levels

2:43

with the public, got the Google number,

2:45

got the paper view number. It's very

2:47

clear that this show for whatever reason

2:49

this So did not have as much

2:52

interest as compared to a normal dab

2:54

dab at ease show. The Google searches

2:56

were the lowest for any diverted Abbott

2:58

A paper of you have ever seen.

3:01

A hundred thousand. It's. Early. So

3:03

the first week number it's gonna grow. but

3:05

the first week number it was like thirty

3:07

seven hundred. Financially. A double

3:09

of a paper view number doesn't mean anything because

3:11

most of the people are going to be watching

3:13

a peacock, but the one thing a paper view

3:15

number can tell us how much interest is there

3:17

and this one was down thirty nine percent. From.

3:20

The same period leading into the Chamber

3:22

show which was the Perth show. it

3:24

was the lowest in history. For.

3:26

A debit every show as far as pay per

3:28

view buys and a looks to be by a

3:30

significant margin and quote larson are we looking at

3:32

a sad last days of debate of the are

3:34

they going to get bought by Tony Khan and

3:36

A W What's going on here. Is.

3:38

One small blink. And

3:42

the upper it's ejector years of derby.

3:44

Of late I would I would think

3:46

I'd like to see a grass. Go.

3:48

And bow Wow. The nineties? Maybe

3:51

moons gimmick? Of pay

3:53

per view buys. Pay.

3:55

Per view buys them are talking about. Viewership

3:57

on streaming services actually actual pay

3:59

per view buys cause I'm sure

4:01

the graph from on a prior

4:03

like two thousand. Is.

4:06

A pretty steady decline. Specially.

4:09

Starting about twenty sixteen. Because

4:12

I think bathroom with the network that brightens

4:14

a twenty thirty, twenty six team. Whenever that

4:16

was twenty four, twenty four hour care. You

4:18

know what you have. First. Network

4:21

now Peacock where you pay a

4:23

low. Monthly. Subscription rate

4:25

in eagle, the paper ease. Nominate.

4:28

These be fifty sixty bucks a pop now of ten dollars

4:30

to get Molly, get all the old ones to. New.

4:33

Great value for what it is. Awesome!

4:35

Best value com. And. And

4:38

is is naturals. There's gonna be a

4:40

drop after Wrestlemania. There's always a law.

4:42

Post. Wrestlemania. Boy.

4:45

I just i much ado about nothing Steve

4:47

I hear a lot of excuses. You know

4:49

I will give me the real dirt Here

4:51

will explain this is the sky folic. A

4:54

W wins again. wow thats not

4:56

now Then Everything he says totally

4:58

true like idea, it's it's it's

5:00

funny because I've seen as like

5:03

Also you know people point out

5:05

for example the ratings and like

5:07

yeah you know. The. Ratings

5:09

When. You're. Building to Wrestlemania

5:11

and The Rock is on your show

5:13

and Seth Rollins. They're building this great

5:15

Angles and Roman still there and as

5:18

the end of this it's It's basically

5:20

like Infinity War Leader of the Endgame.

5:22

Is. What it is. And. And

5:25

if you remember correctly, after

5:27

endgame for talking about Marvel

5:30

analogies here. Interest in

5:32

the Mc? You. Plummeted because

5:34

they just you know it's it's you're now you're

5:36

reloading for your next big thing. As young boy

5:38

they've had some stumbles a long day but they

5:41

built to this huge crescendo and an infinity war

5:43

is great and game are I but in other

5:45

they they nailed the finish. I guess you could

5:47

say. Yeah, Absolve the yeah. The

5:50

final moments their my that were pretty

5:52

terrific and you're gonna have. A

5:54

decline of of interest because that whole

5:56

story arc came to a conclusion. Started.

5:59

Yet. Yeah, no, this is not everything

6:01

you're saying is totally right. It's fun to joke about

6:04

I've got Cody Holden and L there on the thumbnail thought

6:06

that was fun. It's all a good It's

6:08

all in good fun here Yeah,

6:11

no, I don't know. It's kind of like You

6:13

know you I think that there is maybe You

6:17

know you think oh, they just did WrestleMania. Maybe

6:19

fan interests would be added on all high and

6:22

You know that momentum would continue. It's really

6:24

difficult to continue momentum though when you don't

6:27

have a giant big

6:29

event That

6:31

is continuing. You know that story Backlash

6:34

is named backlash kind of for a

6:37

reason because it's you know sort of

6:39

the The the trailing off

6:41

of WrestleMania even though there wasn't any rematches

6:43

on the show from WrestleMania They did do

6:46

some some new stuff, but you know

6:48

as that report from I think last week We didn't

6:50

really talk about it because it seems sort of Common

6:53

sense they're not gonna do anything big

6:55

with Cody in terms of like him

6:58

losing the title until The

7:00

rock comes back or Roman comes back or

7:02

they kick this bloodline thing up You

7:04

know another level yeah, and that just

7:06

makes sense you just hope in the meantime if

7:09

you can give him opponents that

7:12

you can have some really great matches with and You

7:16

can tell some really cool stories with it'll

7:18

be a successful title run, but

7:21

um But yeah, you know at

7:23

some point at some point you

7:25

got a you get the you know You got

7:27

the the roller coaster up here. It's gonna start

7:30

coming back. It is I got the I got

7:32

Google Trends up right now And I got the

7:34

graph up for WrestleMania Yeah,

7:36

and and compare that with

7:39

WV backlash And you

7:41

know they don't have what each kind of

7:43

step on the graph represents in terms of actual numbers

7:45

But it's from zero to a hundred and

7:48

a ground WrestleMania weekend of course interest at

7:50

a hundred for WrestleMania At

7:54

the peak for backlash 12

7:56

yeah, it's

7:59

gonna It's always going to be a

8:01

step down. What was the one in the

8:03

elimination chamber? in Perth Yeah,

8:07

let's see. Well elimination chamber asked how

8:09

it compares to the backlash.

8:11

Well, it's hired backlash It's

8:13

P equals 24 so

8:23

You got significantly down from You

8:26

got the stories wrapping up at rain mania

8:28

you got Roman off TV you got Cody

8:30

finishing his story. There's no rock A

8:35

lot of the major stories going on to

8:38

be for the most part reach some measure

8:40

conclusion at WrestleMania

8:43

Outside of drew and punk either of

8:45

them were on the card and punks gone

8:47

to looks gone He's injured too.

8:49

So, you know, I wonder I wonder how to

8:51

compare white brownie brings up a good point Don't

8:53

forget backlash was during the day, of course elimination

8:57

chamber For us out

8:59

here in the West Coast was super early

9:01

in the morning like 2 a.m. Or something

9:03

like that. True Yeah, but it'd be interested

9:05

interesting to compare the backlash numbers to For

9:09

example like clash at the castle or other pay-per-views

9:12

that were aired during the day and see how

9:14

it measures up But in the end it doesn't

9:16

really this is this is really not much Yeah,

9:19

no, it was a down pay-per-view buffer for but there's probably a

9:21

lot of really Logical

9:24

reasons why that was the case and

9:27

I'd be surprised if it didn't start to pick up

9:29

again with King and

9:31

Queen of the Ring I Would

9:34

because nobody seems to care last room but

9:36

but no, I mean money in the bank clashes

9:38

the cash Oh the cash in the cattle there

9:40

having the card. Yeah, they're having a hard time

9:43

selling that out But I feel like once that

9:45

we get the actual main event whether it's gonna

9:47

be drew punk drew priest whatever I

9:50

feel like that, you know, that'll probably end up closing

9:52

that gap But

9:54

even that, you know, it's like, okay clash

9:56

at the castle if they're able to

9:58

build a really fun story heading into it Maybe interest

10:00

will be up, but yeah there do

10:02

there's always gonna be a bit of

10:04

a hangover period whenever you have some

10:06

huge giant thing So,

10:09

you know us here going and

10:11

raw obviously a couple of e-drones

10:13

making excuses But I'm

10:15

not declaring them dead quite yet We'll

10:19

see we'll see one more one more

10:21

pay-per-view cycle with down numbers and oh

10:23

wow Yeah, we're gonna have to

10:25

rethink what we're doing over here At that

10:27

point will you be willing to NBA

10:30

podcast? I'll just say a

10:32

W wins again All

10:36

11:48

Angie calm That's

11:53

Angie calm let's let's move

11:55

on to to this because it went

11:57

down at that last night's aw taping

11:59

specifically the Ring of Honor one following

12:01

Dynamite. I would imagine following Dynamite. So PW

12:03

Insider reports that a fan... Oh

12:06

gosh. Alright people, we

12:08

gotta do this public service announcement again

12:10

man. I guess so.

12:12

So during the Ring of Honor taping following

12:15

last night's Dynamite, during a

12:17

match between Sky Blue and Rachel Ellering,

12:19

PW Insider reports that quote, a fan

12:21

in the first row allegedly began making

12:23

sexually charged and harassing comments towards Sky

12:25

Blue, which led Sky to

12:28

tell the fan to not be such a

12:30

pervert asshole and then to fuck

12:32

off according to another fan who was

12:34

sitting nearby. We also told that

12:36

AW referee Aubrey Edwards called for security to

12:38

have a word with the fan while Blue

12:40

and Ellering were battling out the floor, the

12:42

fan, who was accompanied by

12:45

a young child, was

12:47

ejected from the arena after security had

12:49

words with him. AW policy which is

12:51

played prior to all events requests that

12:53

fans do not partake in discriminatory or

12:55

harassing behavior towards performers or other fans.

12:58

Early in the evening, Saraya pointed out

13:00

several front row fans

13:02

at ringside on camera on Dynamite saying

13:04

they were creeps. We are

13:07

told one of those she pointed

13:09

to would have been the same

13:11

fan. Maybe

13:14

this is not a correct assumption to

13:16

make. I'm assuming it might be the

13:18

couple that the dude like brought

13:21

her shirt to the side during the opening moments of

13:23

the show. She didn't seem too pressed by. To

13:29

be honest with you, it just seemed like

13:31

maybe there, but I didn't notice like a

13:33

kid with them, but I wasn't really paying

13:36

attention. I did notice when Saraya was talking

13:38

and pointing to somebody in the crowd, but I couldn't.

13:41

It wasn't until this morning where Mr. Dope sent

13:44

us the clip

13:46

with. Well, I'd seen Maggie

13:48

had sent me the same thing. Oh,

13:50

all right. With the subtitles about what

13:52

she was saying on there. And I

13:54

just figured, okay, they're just one of

13:56

them couples, you know, exist in a

13:58

state of anebri. Most of the time, you

14:01

know like hey, we're out here to have fun show

14:03

them your tits You know that kind of thing and

14:05

it's like, okay Well, I don't really know if we

14:07

need that at a wrestling No, like no get back

14:09

in the day DX had that shit going all the

14:11

time But like the

14:14

punctuation mark is like and then they had a kid That's

14:16

what and then on top of that it's it's one thing

14:19

It's one thing to be there and like hey, it's like

14:21

you're at a concert and you know, you're doing whatever But

14:24

it's another thing like to be

14:26

yelling and screaming Hello rude things to to

14:28

the wrestlers that are sort of outside the

14:30

standard purview of like, oh, you're a bad

14:32

guy I'm gonna boo you, you know,

14:34

if you're just being a creep Then

14:37

like get the fuck out of here. We exactly know

14:39

at that point send bully ray over to have a

14:41

talk with you Yeah,

14:44

there's no place there's no place for this type

14:46

of stuff at wrestling shows anywhere can be honestly

14:49

there's No

14:51

place for dude, honestly, like it's like

14:53

and every time and here's the thing

14:55

like I'm not even gonna put this

14:57

exclusively on a W fans because like

15:01

Time how many years ago wasn't that we went

15:03

to that double raw taping there's that dude 40

15:05

rows up from the floor Yeah,

15:07

trying to get Jojo's attention He

15:13

was screaming the top of his lungs for two

15:15

and a half three hours before security told

15:17

him to stop and Eventually

15:19

lost. Yeah Yeah,

15:23

I don't get I don't get that type of behavior.

15:25

Just like what's our mantra here? Just

15:27

be cool Yeah, they don't know how

15:29

to act. No, no, they don't know like no They

15:31

weren't raised like a normal like, you know with like

15:33

people telling them. Hey, this is how you behave in

15:37

general No,

15:39

I when when Hilton got me that front row

15:41

seat to the house. That's right. Yeah. Yeah There

15:44

was that dude next to me and he had a

15:46

kid and he was like screaming

15:48

at Emma for the show It was right

15:50

after the shoplifting thing. He

15:52

was like making reference to the shoplifts. Okay,

15:54

I get it You're on the websites and

15:57

stuff, you know that she got caught shoplifting

16:00

And it's like, why? Man, you got a kid next to you,

16:02

man. Get out of here. I

16:04

know, get out of here with that nonsense. No plans for that

16:06

one, man. No, please. You gotta learn, you gotta learn. And you

16:08

know the nutty thing is we're gonna have people on our commas,

16:10

people pay for a ticket, you should be allowed to do what

16:12

you wanna do. No, no. You pay

16:14

a ticket to get through the door. You

16:17

don't pay, you don't pay whatever you pay for the ticket

16:19

to be an asshole in public. Yeah,

16:21

right, yeah. There's a difference. You get availability

16:23

to sit in that seat and enjoy a

16:25

show. Yes, it's a wrestling

16:27

show. There's a degree of interaction that is

16:30

acceptable at a wrestling show that plays into

16:32

the storylines that are happening in front of

16:34

you. It does not give you an excuse

16:36

to be a creep, to be an asshole.

16:39

You indulge in that type of behavior, guess what? You

16:41

should get kicked out. I'm happy to see that this

16:44

individual was. Yeah, get in

16:46

the booth. Get out of there. No

16:48

place for it. No

16:51

place for it. Privacy in your own

16:53

home, that's where you can act like an asshole. Mr.

16:56

Del, he's got the quote we're

16:58

getting. I thought this was America. I

17:04

thought this was America. Oh

17:06

my goodness. They were in Canada last night, Del.

17:08

They were in Canada last night. They were in

17:10

Canada. Yeah, yeah.

17:13

Oh man, anyway. Anyway, it's

17:17

shitty to hear. This stuff

17:19

sadly happens far too often,

17:21

whether it's at wrestling shows or other places where

17:25

women are subject to this type of abuse. And

17:27

it sucks. And I saw the

17:29

Reddit post and there was people around there was telling

17:31

this dude to shut up. Yeah, right.

17:33

To stop. And at least

17:38

there was people around there that weren't putting up with it.

17:41

Mm-hmm, yeah. And it's

17:43

a shame that kid has to sit there and

17:45

don't behave that way. Because

17:47

now the kid thinks this is gonna grow up. He's gonna end up fucked

17:50

up, man. Poor

17:52

kid. It breaks my heart

17:54

when I do kids with shitty parents. Oh,

17:56

it's the worst. It's the worst. Yeah,

18:01

I was article. I'll tell you

18:03

off-camera. All right. There's a little

18:05

no there is there's a Play

18:08

real quick. There is his grandpa who

18:13

Who was entrusted with taking care of

18:16

of his grandchild? And

18:19

and he was you know, he wanted to go and

18:21

get some he wanted to get you know Toss

18:25

so he went to the bar and he paid

18:27

like this homeless lady on how's lady

18:30

20 bucks to keep care of the kid Well,

18:33

the lady was like this guy is a mess like he was

18:35

drunk when he gave her the 20 bucks apparently And

18:37

so like she went and took her the kid to like

18:40

her encampment because that's like where she is So

18:42

the guy gets stumbles out of the bar Contacts

18:45

the police like or my kids,

18:47

you know, so they're like what's

18:49

your problem? He gets arrested the lady they did the

18:51

helicopter thing where people like hey, there's a kid out

18:53

there Yeah, so lady comes back brings a kid back

18:55

to the parking lot I was like, hey this guy

18:57

clearly was not in any position to take care of

18:59

this kid So I just took her, you

19:01

know back to the in-camera right over safe And

19:05

then he got arrested Anyways

19:10

anyways talk about wrestling

19:12

now Dynamite last

19:14

night. What do you think of that? We got

19:16

arena anarchy in the arena made by Kenny Omega

19:18

from his hospital bed from the ER. Yeah It

19:21

was a very talky episode of a w and

19:26

For the most part, I don't think talky

19:28

episodes of pro wrestling or necessarily an AW

19:30

strong suit because they tend to have segments

19:33

where There's promos or

19:35

interviews where people are talking Tell

19:38

you to establish their point of view to maybe hammer

19:40

home character to a degree But

19:42

doesn't really advance story per se if

19:44

they're gonna dedicate five minutes for someone

19:46

to do a promo interview You better

19:48

be advancing story Yeah, you

19:50

know and I feel like generally on a

19:52

aw when they have prolonged promo interview segments

19:55

It's the coin toss Whether it's gonna

19:58

be. Ashley.

20:00

Story. Or oriented

20:02

in terms of promoting something or just

20:04

reminding her by l Here's to this

20:07

character is an like the Chris Jericho

20:09

promo after the match was by a

20:11

large oh hi i'm learning tree guy.

20:14

It didn't really advance much like a

20:16

cylinder. the couple promo segments that if

20:19

they were a little clever about it.

20:21

And did like a video package. Rather,

20:24

Than the promote it probably would been

20:26

more sex and that is Chris Jericho.

20:28

Rather the doing a five minute promo

20:30

about yes I'm Learning Tree Chris Jericho

20:33

s there was like on on on

20:35

unless you're I like this particular idea,

20:37

but like an infomercial type thing. About.

20:40

You know, learn under Chris Jericho learning tree.

20:43

Oh. That's gonna go like you know and

20:45

I They only have served so many minutes

20:47

every. Tv. Day to shoot stuff.

20:50

But. Stuff like

20:53

that feels like a be. If the more

20:55

a be more interesting it be far more

20:57

clever. And any far more

20:59

effective in terms of communicating who these characters

21:01

are than does having i'm stand the ring

21:03

for five minutes and talk with a not

21:05

really advancing it as a you know anything

21:07

story wise every second of it of of

21:09

time on Dynamite as precious. With.

21:11

Roster that mars. And

21:14

I just feel like you have Jericho out

21:16

there. He's trying to get this gimmick over.

21:18

He's finally seems like he's fully dedicated, invested

21:21

in who and what this character is. See

21:23

a can knows what it is and he

21:25

knows where it's going and. It's

21:27

it's a turnaround from would he was doing. At

21:30

the same time, unless he's really advancing

21:32

whatever feud he's in, I.

21:35

Could I could care less about what he has

21:37

to say Because I know who the character as

21:39

I can see I saw two weeks ago he

21:41

knew who he was in was invested. Give me

21:44

something that pushes things forward rather than just reiterating

21:46

what we already know. yeah

21:48

yeah don't disagree with that i'm looking i

21:50

think there's there's a decent split of like

21:53

things actually kind of happening with some promos

21:55

well edward vii blue the swear bit was

21:57

long but like with that the you know

21:59

they did I have my own issue

22:01

with that, but like the, you

22:03

know, his crew, he's now a

22:05

man alone. Yeah. Well, I guess he still has Nana,

22:07

I think. I hope so. No, Nana wasn't there.

22:09

Yeah, I think. I hope him and Nana stay up there because

22:11

they're great. Yeah, that'd be a shame. People turn

22:14

on Swervis. I'm not a

22:16

stop-wits-something-be-out-as-one of you. But

22:19

you know, he comes out and he thinks, oh,

22:21

I've got the equalizer to the patriarchy. And

22:24

it's the mogul embassy. And so

22:26

they show up and they end up

22:28

turning on him. And

22:31

I thought it was, I think

22:33

it's a better spot for Swerv to

22:35

be in because he's a babyface. It's

22:39

him against the world type situation. And they haven't had

22:41

a whole lot of interaction in months anyways. That's

22:43

sort of like my main issue with the

22:46

actual turn though, is they haven't had much

22:48

interaction. He's done this basically by himself and

22:50

Nana, but like, you know, he's a good

22:52

guy, so he doesn't cheat anymore.

22:56

And so, you know, his dudes show up

22:59

and instead of doing like a thing where

23:01

over the past couple of months they've teased

23:03

something like this, because I don't even think

23:05

they've done a thing where they've shown on

23:07

what's the tapping on collision or rampage, which

23:10

is possible, I guess. But like,

23:12

I don't even think they've done a thing

23:14

where they've been like, hey, Swerv, can we

23:16

help you out with this? Where they've dealt

23:18

to this turn and they've teased it along

23:20

the way. And so

23:22

this reaches a breaking point where it makes sense

23:24

for them to turn on him as opposed

23:27

to just, no, we're bad guys. The next

23:29

caliber has to yell something like, oh, maybe

23:31

they're just upset that they've been left behind

23:33

ever since he's had the championship. And there

23:35

was that backstage segment with Christian and the

23:37

Young Bucks where, you know, Christian's like,

23:39

hey, good idea to the Young Bucks. Young

23:42

Bucks seemingly paid them off to do this.

23:45

Yeah. Just to get back at Swerv for

23:47

making the bitch move comment. Right,

23:49

yeah. And I mean, to a degree, I

23:51

kind of appreciate that. I

23:53

like that they are keeping Swerv's

23:55

name in segments

23:59

involving the... Young Bucks because they're clearly

24:01

the A story. They're going to have the Anarchy

24:03

in the Arena match. I know Swerve's going to

24:05

main event the show, but

24:07

I, you know, at some point,

24:10

those things I think should

24:12

collide because Swerve's your top

24:15

face champion. And you've

24:17

got the Young Bucks as the top

24:19

heel guys, and they're going to win

24:21

at Anarchy in the Arena, by the

24:23

way, like this group, that's, you know,

24:25

the team, AEW, Danielson is just content

24:27

to take loss after loss these days.

24:29

Eddie is like basically just in the

24:31

year 2024, he's just, you know, Mr.

24:33

L and FTR, you know,

24:36

they just came, well, they just came off losing

24:38

to the Young Bucks, but whatever they do, they

24:40

can take a loss. Yeah. The

24:42

whole individually, every

24:44

member of team AEW is seemingly is not

24:46

averse to taking it now. You're

24:49

right. Yeah. You're absolutely right. So yeah,

24:51

there's not a whole lot of drama involved in that

24:54

particular matchup.

24:58

You know, it's nice. It just, it just would have been,

25:00

I don't know how to interrupt, but just to punctuate my

25:02

point, it would have been nice if there was, it would

25:04

have been more effective, I think, had

25:06

there been an actual build

25:08

to the mogul embassy

25:11

coming up. It would have made sense on a

25:13

level beyond just they were paid off, you know,

25:15

if that was the correct inference to make based

25:17

on the backstage segment. If it was a situation

25:19

where they were at odds,

25:21

there was tension for months, but you know, kind of

25:23

under the surface, simmering. And

25:25

this, you know, young bucks handing

25:27

them a check, you

25:30

know, to turn on Swerve. Oh, it'd make perfect sense

25:32

at that point. To see, cause it seemed like up

25:34

until that point, they were looking for a reason to

25:36

split. Now they

25:38

have it. But yeah, I mean, it's

25:40

just, it's just basic setting up stories and then falling through

25:43

with them, but sometimes that's not necessarily something AEW does. They

25:45

just kind of decide, all right,

25:47

today we're going to do this. Which

25:50

is, yeah, sometimes it just, it, it

25:53

lacks that drama that I think is a

25:55

vital ingredient to pro wrestling, you know, as

25:57

opposed to just, it's just wrestling. It

26:02

opened up with we can just go ahead and sure sure

26:04

we talk about So

26:07

kicked off with Trenton Orange Cassidy, okay. I'll kick

26:09

off with an with with cope with interview Asked

26:12

about how he's feeling about after his match with buddy last

26:14

week He says I'm not feeling too great all

26:16

this week. My mind has been wandering the places

26:19

I don't want it to and I have to

26:21

stop it. So tonight it gets stopped Just got

26:23

off the phone with TK tonight It's gonna be

26:25

a no DQ match between King and cope right

26:27

here in Edmonton House of black you

26:29

wanted the rated-r superstar tonight. You

26:32

got him He's like I just got done listening

26:34

that Pearl Jam album dark matter. You don't a

26:36

dark place is my son exactly exactly I

26:39

wish I remembered some of the other song titles off that cuz I'd

26:41

make some puns Give

26:44

me my give me a moment. I can do

26:46

that. Yeah. Yeah good one there Steve Yeah, come

26:48

on here by some time. All

26:50

right, man. You know what? I tried I gave

26:53

that Pearl Jam album a shot He says I'm

26:55

gonna leave I'm gonna leave behind some wreckage after

26:57

I face Brody King You

26:59

have the name of a song record. Yeah, okay.

27:01

I'm not scared of fear. I won't

27:04

be faced or won't be running away from the

27:06

house of black and None

27:10

of these are iconic I'm gonna have the upper hand now

27:12

is off the new album That's why cuz he just listen

27:14

to new album. I'm gonna have the old stuff You

27:17

can't it because cokes looking forward. He's a

27:19

current Pearl Jam fan. He's not stuck on

27:21

in the 90s. I If

27:24

I have if I plunk down $800 for floor seats

27:27

for that concert, man I'm you want to head back

27:29

and then then say good night, don't you? No,

27:33

you can play like yellow you can play some

27:35

B-sides and some singles, you know Give me some

27:37

state 11 trust. Give me some yellow lead better.

27:40

You still want anything after 1994? You

27:42

got that right? You can dive

27:45

into in diverse a little bit Anyways, the first

27:47

match we got was Orange Cassidy versus Trent. I

27:49

was kind of surprised They're gonna do this

27:52

again probably a double or nothing. Yeah I

27:54

kind of feel like the big turn for Trent Should

27:58

have warranted like a main event spot maybe because

28:00

like they've been they've been pals for a very

28:03

long time now and I thought that was a

28:05

thing in any event

28:08

We get like a exposed turnbuckle spot

28:10

here Yeah, so Trent run over rips

28:12

the the top turnbuckle cover off one

28:15

corn in one corner Kind

28:17

of like, you know Clandestinely isn't what

28:19

the ref to see but the rest spots it so

28:21

while the refs arguing with Trent about that Orange

28:24

goes to the opposite turnbuckle Rips

28:27

the cover off that and so when

28:29

Trent charges them He just chucks through the turnbuckle exposed

28:32

turnbuckle and then rolls him up to get the win

28:35

This is a few questions sure Exposed

28:38

turnbuckle, uh-huh you get hit

28:40

by it right sure you knock right on the forehead

28:42

sure right You get

28:45

the three three count right? Yeah, are

28:47

you still out of it afterwards? Are you

28:49

like cuz Trent got right up from the

28:51

spot? It was more like

28:53

he got a pin with a sneaky roll-up out

28:56

there rather than taking a forehead full of steel

28:58

Yes, yeah, right right right that was kind of

29:00

confusing to me. No, I agree It's like if

29:02

if the shot to the turnbuckle was enough to

29:05

Incapacitate you for three seconds to get pinned then you should

29:07

get up a little woozy Yeah,

29:09

I would think so or have like, you know a turnbuckle

29:11

spot get a knot on your head I'm like that. So

29:13

afterwards Trent to start to beating the hell out of orange

29:17

Pile drives him on the ring steps catapults him

29:19

into the ring frame goes and gets a toolbox

29:21

from under the ring But while he's looking for

29:23

that orange gets to his feet and grabs a

29:25

chair So Don Callis who's on commentary he's trying

29:27

to recruit orange Cassidy to the family Runs

29:30

over and gets between orange

29:32

and Trent and it helps orange up the ramp

29:35

and the stat lander runs to ringside And

29:38

I don't know what Trent said, but he used a curse

29:40

word and his reply to her fuck Yeah, he said something

29:42

like shut the fuck up Patrick

29:44

Oliva here has a good point as well He says

29:46

maybe maybe orange Cassidy should be had it after taking

29:48

a pile of stairs I know at least you got

29:51

a guy when he got that chair up. Yeah.

29:53

Yeah, yeah, sure Anyways

29:56

after that, so I'm sure they'll probably do a stipulation

29:58

match at double or nothing You think that that's

30:01

gonna be you think so maybe I quit match

30:03

or something like that Yeah, so earlier in the

30:05

day the elite arrived at the arena So they're

30:07

all in the SUV all four

30:09

of them and in the back is the cameraman

30:11

So Matt turns around says hey cameraman y'all buckled

30:13

up Young bucks talks

30:15

from crap about Canada and then there's

30:17

like parking attendant and and

30:20

they're yelling at them to move They look oh, maybe

30:22

we should park in this spot and his Tony Cotspot.

30:24

So they in fact Tony Cotspot

30:26

were they in today's show I didn't they don't they

30:29

roll in a Cybertruck? This

30:31

was definitely not a Cybertruck this time. This was

30:33

the three-row SUV Okay, okay,

30:35

because I had the young box in the front

30:38

Okada and Perry in the middle seat and cameraman

30:40

the back Okay,

30:42

okay, I didn't get it look at this. I know

30:44

the steering wheel is a bit different Cybertruck

30:47

doesn't have three rows. Huh? No, I'll you know

30:49

if it has two honestly Have you seen have

30:51

you seen people on tick-tock like doing

30:54

the thing where they they you know, it's

30:56

got like a sensor detection I

30:58

think it's like the trunk maybe and Like

31:01

it comes down and they like hit the button to have

31:03

it go down and they're like, oh, let's see if this

31:05

works And they put their finger there It

31:08

crushes their finger. Oh these Cybertruck fans are

31:10

getting their fingers fucked I remember I saw

31:13

this one video of there was something faulty

31:15

with the gas pedal On

31:17

those yeah, and if it came off it would slide to

31:19

a place where it gets stuck. Yeah,

31:22

that's horrible I don't know how these things are

31:24

like road safe like consider. Oh seem like they

31:26

are It doesn't really seem like

31:28

but I thought that was like requirement Anyways

31:31

after that we had a recap

31:34

of the elite attacking Kenny Omega And we

31:36

had a Jack Perry promo from last Wednesday

31:38

after all that happened. He said

31:41

Kenny Omega. This is the best He got you know, you're

31:43

not as bad as you think you are But I hope

31:45

you had fun hitting all your old moves in your hometown

31:47

for what's probably the last time your entire life The

31:50

thing that hurts me most Kenny is that you're not the hero

31:52

that we needed you to be when it came down to

31:54

it You're a coward like everyone else and

31:56

the truth is the elite doesn't need you anymore and

31:58

neither does AW because we're gonna change Without you

32:00

will have to sacrifice and he just made

32:02

yours and then we get the cleaner from

32:04

hospital. but yes he sits up in a

32:06

hospital bed says i really must apologize for

32:09

don't seem like myself I wish I could

32:11

have been there person tonight but it turns

32:13

out your he V p had other plans

32:15

in mind. sixteen years you guys were like

32:17

family to me and yet here we are.

32:19

Well here I am at the ers hard

32:21

not to take what you did Me personally

32:23

I really feel like I have to thank

32:26

you Matthew for remind me that's where that

32:28

what you did wasn't personally with business. And

32:30

as an easy p I guess that means I have

32:32

business take care of to before I have all this.

32:34

Taken. Care of Oceans Tortoise,

32:36

Apple. And it got

32:39

me thinking may twenty six marks the five year

32:41

anniversary of where it all started. That were nothing.

32:43

And I know you guys like to march to

32:45

the beat of your own drum. Something you like

32:47

to make your own. Rules: Why not throw the

32:49

rulebook out the window? Anarchy in the arena? No

32:52

rules. The. Young bucks.

32:54

Okada, Jack Perry to up against

32:56

33:57

is have like multiple cameo one camera follows

34:00

Like you know split off in the

34:02

34:04

I really hope they don't have like

34:06

a musical accompaniment to this match this

34:08

since Amy I'm cool with that. I know there's

34:21

there's options, but I Want

34:24

the guy that does Daniel since theme to

34:27

do a live rendition of his theme during

34:29

the entire 20 minutes of that match All

34:31

right Yeah

34:37

Yeah, that's what I want. All right, very well after

34:39

that we the Serena deep interview she walks out to

34:42

the stage and and You know,

34:44

she was off TV for a protracted

34:46

spell and I had really had three

34:48

seizures heard why and she explains That

34:51

that yeah, she had a what's

34:53

the terminology she used unprovoked

34:57

Peavokes seizures they couldn't figure out why she

34:59

was having seizures She

35:03

said it was the hardest without a doubt hardest 15 months

35:05

of my entire life So for people that don't know that

35:08

are not aware of the story I suffered a series of

35:10

three unprovoked seizures It

35:12

was the most traumatic experience. I can't explain

35:14

to you How scary it was this

35:16

weight on my shoulders at all times the possibility of

35:18

it happening again It was so scary and I saw

35:21

the doctors I did all the brain scans and did

35:23

everything to try to figure out why this happened. I

35:25

couldn't figure it out Nobody could explain

35:27

to me why it was happening What

35:29

I've learned about seizures and there's probably

35:32

some people in this building and some people watching at

35:34

home that have had seizures The hardest part is that

35:36

a lot of times you don't know what causes the

35:38

seizures And so I had all

35:40

the time to reflect and think about what I wanted

35:42

And when I needed this point in my career the thing

35:44

that stuck in my mind was this vision the stream

35:46

becoming a W women's champion And

35:49

it was this vision despite all

35:51

the fear and uncertainty fusion This

35:54

I carried this vision in my head and I just

35:56

managed imagined. I dreamed of what it'd be like to

35:58

fully become The answer to

36:00

a storm erupts. She. Steps up the

36:02

three Adidas says I thought I was gonna hear from

36:05

my. All I heard

36:07

was a charity case. So here you'd better

36:09

take this and she throws for and leave

36:11

us dollar bills at. Home

36:13

Depot Response: Tony, I highly suggest

36:15

36:17

taking the seriously. I have

36:19

quite literally fought for my life and at

36:22

Double or nothing going to fight for my

36:24

life to finally become eight of the ones

36:26

36:28

say everything if you done is a sorry

36:30

I didn't say that everything you've gone through

36:32

36:34

solitary shit. He. Said

36:36

Tony gets a deep space. Deep. Tries

36:38

to walk Razorbacks. Answer

36:42

Knocks. Near.

36:47

Now Yemeni and I feel for serene a

36:49

d of it you know. Of.

36:51

Leads to get said under control and as

36:53

a be a really good match in Dublin.

36:55

Yeah I I expect. Other

36:59

we have lox seen air season, the trainers

37:01

a room with orange Cassidy is awaiting a

37:03

medical update. Rock your Metro stepson. And

37:06

37:15

title shot So to be me and you and

some other partner. Hey maybe we could patch things

37:19

up with Trent. It going to get the band

37:21

back together or discussed. That

37:23

there's there's multiple problems with that logic.

37:25

Just like Rocky Years centrally, the Qt

37:28

marshall of a W these days and

37:30

hates they puts you in matches were

37:32

they probably says i love Rocky River

37:35

I think he's great. With,

37:37

from what I understand he serves like

37:39

multiple roles within both A W New

37:41

Japan. Is. Like the in between

37:43

guy. Pretty. High up.

37:46

Probably. Give the spot the somebody else

37:48

because you know is not going away.

37:50

Even though they had this match go

37:52

on forever between six and six match.

37:54

Know it's a good match but it's

37:57

also like there's no way I know

37:59

hell you're gonna win the new stadium

38:01

My know. Amy give it to somebody

38:03

else, you might actually you know, have

38:05

to get out and chance. Yes, Ny

38:07

38:09

Yeah, I don't know. and then it is. I go.

38:12

You're going to get past Say White and you want

38:14

Trent, the guy who just piles rove. Or

38:16

it's Cassidy on the steps. I know

38:18

years as the this year you talking

38:20

madness right now rocky. But

38:23

anyways after that we had Mariah

38:25

May vs Harley Cameron as on

38:28

38:31

Ass. Now the Phoenix is back Pay cut the

39:35

Death Triangle Return He says I'll be honest with

39:44

guns crack me up man. Yeah, so Jay

39:46

39:49

39:51

situation. Damascus or Death Trial because death triangle

39:53

39:55

39:57

the a half of what you need to be.

40:00

Third day with his yourself. A little lady

40:02

said you're coming off a loss for the

40:04

Cardinal championship against one Rainmaker can do to

40:06

go Cada Boys. Is there somebody that does

40:08

know how to get the job done against

40:11

so called? Oh yes. That's me. A

40:13

switchblades. a white catalyst. professional wrestling. So maybe

40:15

maybe I should go after Canal Championship. Maybe

40:18

I should go after a cotton as goal

40:20

to our hall here for the bang bang

40:22

gangs. Maybe. But. Tonight first I

40:24

got rockier marrow. So you and your

40:26

new friend hang out back in these

40:28

dark hallways and you can watch and

40:30

learn a thing or two before. About

40:33

winning Guns up. And.

40:37

Yeah. Like J White, somebody who is

40:39

a big game jams as a white

40:41

keep struggling against people he should be

40:43

struggling against strewn tires. and now. After

40:46

that we had a malik i like promo. Once.

40:49

Upon a time you know is gonna

40:51

go live on the plane know there

40:53

is a boy called the Hopes and

40:55

Dreams and boy. On becoming

40:57

a man manifested as dreams and

41:00

reality. I have a dream. Is.

41:02

To have a singles match. But.

41:04

I'm just not to do that. So.

41:07

I'm sending out all my guys again scope.

41:09

And. Hope. That. A double or

41:12

nothing or get a singles match. As

41:14

a rally been pretty on the on the

41:17

nose bothers me and I'd and sale that

41:19

ready to set of months of stuff that

41:21

Copeland and I think we're going at that

41:23

matter double or nothing. other than that you

41:26

know, copy that go through buddy. Gotta.

41:28

Go through Brody. And they

41:30

think a double or nothing is gonna

41:32

get Molokai. Any chance that that's gonna

41:34

be the one that Cope loses, I'm

41:36

I'm I'm hesitant to believe that. Malika

41:39

is gonna. On

41:41

has his exam singles match first of all them hass

41:43

he's in have oh you don't think that's assert know

41:45

I do I do a bunch of the job because

41:47

it is announcing set of. And.

41:51

I be surprised if he won

41:53

two, but. If.

41:55

the story the kind of do and is the rest the house

41:58

a black is kind of softening up cope for

42:00

Malachi maybe because that match last

42:03

night was brutal. It

42:05

was cool. It was a cool match. It was a cool match. Brody

42:07

was bleeding all over the place. Cope is

42:10

a highlight of AEW, man. Because

42:12

it also looks like he's aged like 10 years into the

42:14

air. You know why that's the case now because he's not

42:16

talking for 20 minutes. I

42:18

know. Yeah. Let him go out there and

42:20

have good matches against quality

42:23

opponents. Yeah. Yeah.

42:25

Have him talking little bits here and

42:27

there. Yeah, he's relatively entertaining. 20

42:29

minute per most? No, I like that stuff. I like

42:31

this stuff. I like the him and the Kyle O'Reilly

42:33

stuff I like. Yeah. That'll be a good match on

42:35

collision. It will be. It will be. You're gonna watch

42:38

it? All

42:40

right. I don't know. Maybe. Sometimes I do. If I,

42:42

like we ain't got, we don't have a pay per

42:44

view this weekend. We don't know. So I don't know.

42:46

Maybe I'll sit here and work and watch some collision.

42:48

I might. I like

42:51

Kyle. Kyle O'Reilly is a hell of a wrestler. He is

42:53

a hell of a wrestler. He is a hell of a

42:55

wrestler. So yeah, Malachi says all I have to do is

42:57

kill the sod proof to the world that this man is

42:59

a violent, cold, hardened, evil son of a bitch. To

43:02

bring you to the brink of death so that you may

43:04

live again. You may live again.

43:06

So let me have an elite video package. I'm

43:08

gonna eat a spear. Yeah, no. A

43:11

double or nothing. Not two. Not

43:13

three many. A single spear. One

43:16

single spear will get the job done. Yeah.

43:19

Probably. So

43:23

they run an elite video package putting over how,

43:25

you know, when they created AEW, they set out

43:27

to change the world. They're going to do it

43:29

again. Now that they've kicked Kenny

43:32

out, essentially. So Matt comes back to them, sit

43:34

in a go position. And Matt says, wow, what

43:36

a wonderful piece of promotional material. We

43:38

need more of that. You know, we need less of updates

43:40

from Kenny Omega. We're going to address that later in the

43:42

ring tonight. Right. Or later

43:45

tonight, right? Nick says in the ring. So

43:47

remember the production staff walks up and

43:49

has Matt format. So he's looking over this. It's

43:51

like, oh, next to the format says we're going

43:54

to hear from the world champion. Oh, there he

43:56

is. Good luck

43:58

swerve. So then we have a swerve. Strickland Pro.

44:02

Yeah, this is long. He

44:04

says, he says it's funny when he

44:06

become a world champion, he

44:09

threw, at first he comes out and he says, here's,

44:11

I'm gonna fight in mood, here's the video of the

44:13

patriarchy beating me down. So it comes

44:15

back, he's like, you know, when you become world champion, everyone

44:18

seems to want a piece of you, figuratively

44:20

and literally because of the hair thing.

44:23

He said, with that being said, Christian, I can't blame you for

44:25

doing what you did. I would have done and I have done

44:27

some of those things too. You see someone at

44:29

the top, you go for someone at the top and make

44:31

no mistake about it. Swerve is the

44:33

Conor McDavid of All Elite Wrestling. What

44:36

is that a reference to? I'm not a- It's a hockey player, an

44:38

admit to it. Because they're a star,

44:40

if you will. That makes sense. Okay. He

44:42

says, see, the enforcer, ought

44:45

to know on it. Missed

44:47

that guy. Missed him too. Missed him a lot. He

44:49

says, now that I'm not going to wait any longer,

44:51

so Christian, I want you to get your scuffed up

44:53

boots, your dinghy jacket and your itchy turtle. Itchy turtle.

44:55

And the rest of the Adams family, bring your ass

44:57

down here, we're going to have this conversation right now.

45:00

That brings out Christian. He says, look at this, I'll

45:02

roll the heavyweight champion standing right there in the middle

45:04

of the ring in the self-proclaimed city of champions. Hate

45:06

to break it to you, Edmonton. I hate to break

45:08

it to you admitting there won't be any championships this

45:10

year because in a couple hours, I

45:12

can't wait to watch the Canucks stop

45:14

the Oilers. Stomp the Oilers. He

45:17

says, speaking of stomping out, that's exactly what happened. You

45:19

know, the ring last week in a swerve. People

45:22

saying it was sick and disgusting when we ripped out

45:24

one of your dreads. The swerve, that was by design

45:26

because I've decided every week I'm going to take something

45:28

from you and ultimately take what

45:30

it is, what I want, that I want. You've been

45:32

riding this huge wave momentum. You've ridden all the way

45:34

to the world title. Funny thing about

45:36

waves is that they always crash and a double or

45:39

nothing is going to crash at my feet. Swerve,

45:41

you're not in my league. I'm the patriarch of

45:43

AAW. I'm the face of TBS, blah, blah,

45:45

blah. After double or nothing, I'm going to be

45:48

the champion. He says, all you have

45:50

to do is look at yourself in the mirror and

45:52

you can see those stupid gold teeth unless I take

45:54

those from you right now. So they start to move

45:56

towards the ring. And sort of, since I told your

45:58

ass it wasn't coming alone, Moga Lembas. These shows

46:00

that they get in the ring sources what's

46:02

wrong Christian and wants you to get in

46:04

this ring so bad so I could beat

46:07

your ass down. My Kendrick did a drag

46:09

this past weekend and now be last time

46:11

someone from the west coast took out a

46:13

fake father from Toronto. Your mind get in

46:15

as good like okay ah he said i'm.

46:19

A. Bubble block Anyways, Christian brings

46:21

up to the mike to respond,

46:23

but then. Muslims.

46:26

The attacks or. And

46:28

they just absolutely fucking laden. Lay him out

46:31

big time for them to the tar by

46:33

announced him as with the table Now on

46:35

the announce table am. So.

46:38

Camera cuts as medical thing to

46:40

swerve backstage to the young bucks

46:42

are standing openness and the clap.

46:44

It's so Christian the Patriarchy walker.

46:48

Christensen. Six their hands and they say

46:50

young bucks A good pieces of freaking business.

46:52

What a performance way to go And Chris

46:54

response Great idea gentleman and a pleasure conducting

46:57

business with the with the start of a

46:59

very fruitful working relationship. So. He.

47:01

And patriarchy leave young bucks against a

47:03

great job. The Knicks says swerve is

47:05

gonna feel that when the morning and

47:07

that says that when because they're a

47:09

bit move. What happened to woman says.

47:14

After that we had a Willow Nightingale

47:16

interview. Boy oh boy you're right. this

47:18

Pataki up there was a very talkie

47:21

upset she's asked house his feelings like

47:23

physically not great. Ah see says

47:25

I've got this six sign or a two

47:27

year but emotionally spiritually can ever be. The

47:30

smile on my face says as is ready

47:32

for double or nothing of course and rave

47:34

Dublin, Athens, Redfern. it sounds. Whether that a

47:36

dynamite mass rampage collision and he sort of

47:39

international challenge or so there were others. Really

47:41

just another stop and been a champion Some

47:43

my quest to the question is if I'm

47:45

ready ad or so the question isn't. if

47:47

I'm ready to question. Really? is his Mercedes

47:50

Monet ready? Summer Cities? are you ready than

47:52

are you ready for double or nothing? Because

47:54

last. Time we stepped foot in the same ring,

47:56

I walked out the victor and I have so much

47:58

respect for you. I really. I do feel sorry that

48:00

you got hurt and that was the end of your in-ring

48:03

year. But since then, I've been on the run of

48:05

my life. The New Japan Strong Women's

48:07

Champion, won the Owen Cup and now I'm

48:09

your TBS Champion. So you might win all

48:11

the red carpet opportunities, you might win the

48:13

headlines, you might win all that kind of

48:15

attention. But in a professional wrestling match, I'm

48:17

gonna be the winner May 26th. You

48:20

better be ready. So are you ready for

48:22

the fight of our lives? Did this

48:24

promo speak anything to you in terms of her

48:27

odds of double or nothing? No. I

48:30

think they went down with this promo. Probably. Because

48:33

she was like listing off, hey, I've already had these

48:36

accomplishments, therefore if I lose a double or nothing, it's

48:38

not that big of a crushing defeat. Yes. Which

48:41

is gonna lose. Yep,

48:43

seems that way. Seems that way. Then we had Jay

48:45

White taking on Rocky Romero.

48:48

Fun match, probably more competitive. No disrespect to

48:50

Rocky, he's great. But probably

48:53

more competitive than it should have been. In

48:56

the end, Rocky hits sliced bread, gets

48:58

a two count with that, looks for

49:00

another. Instead, Jay evades

49:02

it, hits kind of a

49:04

high angle DDT, follows with a Blade Runner, and

49:07

then pins Rocky with a single finger on

49:09

him to get the win. Afterwards,

49:12

Bang Bang Gang pose in the ring with

49:14

all their titles and the guns attack Rocky

49:16

Romero. Pack comes to

49:18

make the save, and Bang Bang Gang very casually

49:20

just slide out the ring and leave. Yep,

49:23

yep. After that, we had

49:26

a little Samoa Joe video package showing him training,

49:28

working out. This was good, this was the type of stuff

49:30

I'm talking about. Yeah, this was cool, I

49:33

like this. It looked really nice, yeah. And

49:35

it's just like, you know, like. That's

49:39

him, yeah, doing some boxing and some sparring.

49:41

When he drives a warrior to do what

49:43

he does, a lot of people

49:45

think that's ambition, that it's a need to conquer. You

49:48

sound like you're witness protection. What

49:50

drives a warrior is fear. It's

49:52

like when I'm Matthew McConaughey, Lexus commercials. Oh,

49:54

there you go. Fear being left one, and

49:56

fear of not being good enough. Fear meeting

49:58

an opponent you cannot. or Mount. Many

50:01

people will tell you that these are the qualities of

50:03

makeup a warrior and I'm one of these men. Anyways

50:08

after that we had Chris Jericho and Bill Bigg

50:10

versus a couple of local competitors Mo

50:13

Jabari and Harlan Abbott.

50:16

They got good receptions. Mo and

50:18

Harlan. Good names too. Yeah they're great names. Mm-hmm.

50:23

Anyways Jericho and Bigg Bill get this win

50:25

here. Not much of a match. No it

50:27

wasn't Judas Effect got the job done. After

50:29

Bill dominated when he was

50:31

in then just tagged out to give Jericho the win

50:33

pretty much. Dude he lifted that guy up for a

50:35

chokeslam like six feet in the air man that was

50:37

a lot. That was a lot. Yeah. Anyways

50:40

Jericho talks a lot after that. Talks

50:43

about yeah go ahead. He

50:45

was like he was like that was a pleasure to

50:47

come back to Calgary and I kind of appreciate what

50:49

he's doing with this version of the character. He's like

50:51

yeah I deserve it I deserve it. He

50:54

was like you know I was a mistake I apologize

50:56

when you've been traveling the world as long as I

50:58

have making memories for people that last a lifetime. Sometimes

51:00

you make a mistake but we learn from mistakes. That's

51:03

what the learning tree does. People are

51:05

saying Jericho's back on Dynamite again. Yeah of course

51:07

they am. I wish I could be on Dynamite

51:09

for two hours straight. Wouldn't you love that? You

51:12

know if I would if I could but I'm

51:14

here now as the for the world champion which

51:16

means this championship is for all of you. I

51:19

thank you for that. While I'm thanking people I want

51:21

to thank Bill Bigg, the redwood, the giant redwood here.

51:23

What a great job you did tonight. Very good. He's

51:26

been pulled into the Jericho vortex. He's already taken

51:28

pointers from a learning tree on how to win.

51:30

You did a great job tonight. I also want

51:32

to thank Shabbatah. What a great match we had

51:34

last week. We got the highest rating on a

51:36

Cade on Cade match if you could believe that.

51:38

We chopped each other 79 times. He headbutted me

51:41

with a garbage can. I threw a hockey puck in

51:43

his face. I also want to thank Hook but we

51:45

still haven't seen him since he essentially hit himself in the

51:47

face with a baseball bat at Dynasty. But

51:50

Hook you take as much time as you want and then

51:52

Shavani gets the ring and he's like hey Hook

51:54

is coming back to Dynamite next Wednesday. He's

51:56

like alright then I Guess we look forward to the

51:58

return of Hook. We're going to celebrate

52:01

a Dynamite together. Road going to go celebrate right?

52:03

Thanks. Guys think that are very thanks so much. His

52:08

tone for for had this characters kind

52:10

of similar to what the young bucks

52:12

are do with their he repeats apart

52:14

This is great Awesome thank you guys

52:16

on those different characters but there's in

52:18

presentation some slight similarities. There's yeah,

52:20

know there are there. definitely are. I think

52:22

with the young bucks, there's they're They're leaning

52:24

a bit more into the sinister. Whereas.

52:26

Jericho is leaning more into the certain.

52:30

Not even sarcastic into the like

52:32

overly earnest Nasa you know is

52:34

disingenuous. You know? Ah

52:36

that we had coped vs Burger King. The says

52:38

this is a lot fun. At

52:42

one point Cope hits Brody with a

52:44

Ddt on a chair on the apron

52:46

and in must Brody open He's bleeding

52:48

all replace. That was cool. They really

52:50

wanna know one another. Good with all

52:52

that blood And Brody king man that

52:54

was there is so much blundering. After

52:57

this match in the and Brodie's looking

53:00

for a gonzo bomb, Cope reverses that

53:02

of Gowdy cause it needs of the

53:04

best reverse X Factor looks for a

53:07

spear. Brody countered with pile driver. They

53:09

were allowed to the apron. Cope. It's

53:11

pretty. the Dvd out there falls with a

53:13

spear off the apron, through a table ringside

53:15

and then in the ring. Cope false spear

53:17

for the Derby. You. right?

53:20

After the bell Brody attacks Cope

53:22

Colorado he runs out to make

53:24

save. The

53:27

up more. On that labour First

53:29

Per Se de Monet interview, she's asked

53:31

if she's ready to face Willow. Double or

53:34

nothing. She says like jetliner. You

53:37

know if and great. Moon. Is.

53:41

Rather, Than doing another interview. If.

53:43

They had shot. Be. Role of

53:45

her at the Celtics game. And

53:48

that the Red Sox game. The I

53:50

did a video package. Then.

53:52

The thesis was i'm such a huge star,

53:55

I'm out promoting a dub. He had all

53:57

these high profile events of making the company

53:59

lost. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, that's

54:01

a cool idea. Look at you. Somebody hire Larson.

54:06

If AW came calling, man, they're like, we'd like

54:08

a lot of your ideas. Steve's

54:10

not invited. AW wins

54:12

again. Come on, Larson. Let's get it done. I

54:15

still do go again, Raul, though. So

54:19

she talks about, she's going all these

54:21

events. She says she's ready. She says as far as

54:23

Willow goes, Willow took something for me that'll never get

54:25

back time. I lost a year of my career and

54:27

all I could think about was those

54:29

haunting questions of why. Why did this happen to me?

54:31

Well, I even return the ring and if I do,

54:34

will I be as good as I used to be?

54:36

Will I? So

54:38

she ponders that for a moment and says you're damn right.

54:40

It will be because I'm on a whole new level. I'm

54:43

back with a bit of vengeance. Willow

54:45

had the run of her career because of me, but

54:47

I'm gonna show Willow why there's an asterisk over

54:49

her victory. Because of double or nothing, I'm gonna

54:52

take more than your title. I'm gonna wipe that

54:54

stupid smile off your face. So enjoy your time

54:56

as champion because of double

54:58

or nothing. Money changes everything. And

55:02

then we had another, I'd like they're using their

55:04

overrun for these interviews and promos and stuff. Co-pen

55:07

an interview then. He's

55:09

exhausted from his match. He's being checked out

55:12

by medical and Kyle O'Reilly lingers and

55:14

he's like, hey man. He's

55:17

asked about having an ally in this fight with House of Black and

55:19

he's like, oh, I got to tell you it's a relief. Thank

55:21

you. He said that dude's bad. I was in trouble out

55:23

there. So thank you. And Kyle's like, I

55:25

know you went through hell and I'm happy to help out with

55:27

those guys, but uh, yeah. So

55:31

this Saturday, Collisions in my hometown. Cope

55:33

open. Cope grabs the titles like,

55:36

So this is why he came out to help me get closer to

55:38

this. Listen, man. That was your plan

55:40

well played. I tell you what

55:42

Vancouver, your hometown, collision, TNT championship. I'm

55:45

gonna beat you. Yeah, one spear. I

55:47

know one spear. I'm gonna beat you.

55:50

One spear gets it done. Yep. Right

55:52

in front of your family. And

55:54

then we have the elite. Walk

55:58

out the heel tunnel and uh... And Nick

56:00

says, guess what? Show doesn't end till we say so.

56:03

Matt says, I should just buzz the network and I ask

56:05

for a little bit of an overrun because we have an

56:07

important message. And Nick says,

56:09

first thing on the agenda here, Wakata's

56:12

got a note for Kenny Omega. Wakata

56:14

says, hey Kenny, the best bout machine says,

56:16

get well soon. So

56:18

Matt takes the mic and says, speaking of unwell people,

56:21

Tony Khan, I know you're watching the home of Jacksonville,

56:23

I just wanna say that you're the best boss I've

56:25

ever worked for. I hope you're feeling

56:27

better too. I just wish you'd have gotten out

56:29

of your own way and realized that we were

56:31

never here to try to hurt AEW. We

56:34

were here to make AEW a better place. So

56:36

what did you do? You got in our way. We had no

56:38

choice but to give Tony Khan a Tony Khan driver. And

56:41

Kenny Omega last week, he decided to end a 15 year

56:43

long friendship. So what do we have to do

56:45

Ken? Well, we gave an EVP

56:47

trigger to an EVP. And

56:50

then Nick says, the only reason FTR saved your

56:52

ass because they hate us, not because they like

56:54

you. And they accept

56:57

the anarchy

57:00

in the arena match. And they

57:02

tell FTR good luck finding two other people

57:04

with balls big enough to

57:07

face the elite we run this damn show that

57:09

this brings out. Dax

57:12

and Cash, FTR. So

57:14

Dax said. Is

57:18

there new theme music in my head? No.

57:23

So Dax said, so I knew going

57:25

into this fight, it wasn't gonna be easy finding a

57:27

couple of guys to stand with us

57:29

and fight the EVPs of this company. But after a

57:32

little bit of convincing, we

57:35

found a couple of people with balls big enough for the

57:37

job. So out comes Eddie Kingston and

57:39

followed by Brian Danielson. They

57:41

all come down to the ring and

57:44

stand across from the elite. And Matt says, don't

57:46

you think about laying one finger on us? Of

57:48

course a brawl breaks out security and refs rush

57:50

down to break it up. Show goes

57:52

off the air. I'm

57:56

about to take this pin, I'm about to take this pin. One

57:59

EVP trigger. one rainmaker well

58:01

it could be it could be for four

58:03

finishers for each of them and

58:06

1:00:21

Christian Lopez with Super Chat says, y'all think it'd be

1:00:23

a good idea for night two of mania to be

1:00:25

held in Saudi Arabia. So we kind of talked about

1:00:28

some of that yesterday. We

1:00:30

talked a lot about that. Oh, but as far as splitting up night

1:00:33

one and night two of mania between two

1:00:35

different locations. We didn't

1:00:37

necessarily talk about that, I don't think. Yeah. Sorry,

1:00:40

don't you mean? I

1:00:43

don't like it. Nah, I'm not fond of it

1:00:46

either. Prime time, Rambo with a Super Chat

1:00:48

says, swerve, only been champ for two

1:00:50

weeks and kind of feels like they don't know what to do with

1:00:52

them. That might very well

1:00:54

be the case. Poke or Poke

1:00:56

with the Super Chat says, make

1:00:59

the infomercial poorly acted too

1:01:02

for the learning tree. Oh

1:01:04

yeah, that'd be good. Yeah, yeah, do it like that. If we're gonna do

1:01:06

it, you gotta go all the way. You have to go all in on

1:01:08

it. Cheese it up quite a bit. Yeah, you gotta have them all in.

1:01:10

It's like a straight up infomercial. Totally. That'd be

1:01:12

good. Totally. All right, you

He's a really good wrestler. Mm. Ejio

1:02:22

Tani says, now that we have

1:02:25

the strong championship and the speed

1:02:27

championship, what RPG

1:02:29

stats should get a title belt

1:02:31

next? Speed.

1:02:34

We've got strength. Strength, speed. I'm

1:02:37

gonna say the charisma championship. Well,

1:02:39

magic. Oh.

1:02:42

Yeah, that's a good one. That's

1:02:44

a good one. You know who's got both

1:02:46

charisma and magic is Doctor Strange. Well,

1:02:49

he's a magician. Yeah. He

1:02:52

should get the hair championship. Yeah, the plastic hair

1:02:54

have the charisma there. Oh,

1:02:58

you're not a fan of Benedict? You don't think

1:03:00

Benedict has the charisma? You know, I've never been

1:03:02

huge on Benedict. I

1:03:04

started on them a little bit when they made them con

1:03:06

in Star Trek II. I'm sure that was part of it,

1:03:08

but even before that, I'm like, I don't really see what

1:03:10

the deal is. Oh no way, man, that guy's all charisma.

1:03:14

Guess I've never really seen it. Let's

1:03:16

see here. I've seen this in our comments

1:03:18

while Jesse says, if they do a WrestleMania

1:03:20

and Saudi, they should call it Vince was

1:03:23

originally gonna call the event the

1:03:25

colossal tussle. No,

1:03:29

that's a terrible name. An awful name. Awful

1:03:31

name. Awful name. That's a terrible name.

1:03:35

Jimmy here, Jimmy Thomas says, the stat man are gonna

1:03:37

side with Trent when it's all over. I noticed that

1:03:40

she didn't come out to stop the fight till Cassidy

1:03:42

started to get up and grab the chair. They've

1:03:44

been kind of teasing something with stat, turn

1:03:47

it heel, so it's a possibility. Oh yeah.

1:03:50

She's a good bad guy. She can be a bad guy. Let's

1:03:53

see here. Rusty says, you have

1:03:55

a time machine. They can

1:03:57

only use it to go back to one premium live event. It's

1:04:00

in the past to experience it live. What are you choosing?

1:04:02

We get this. It's like one of our most asked questions.

1:04:04

So it's time travel about going to a previous event. Yeah.

1:04:07

I always say the same thing. Whatever the first

1:04:09

wrestling event was, and I think it was like

1:04:11

the Gold Dust Trio who sort of like

1:04:14

turned wrestling. The Gold Dust Trio was kind

1:04:16

of like in like, I

1:04:18

think the good ways, uh, like

1:04:20

the DW Griffith of professional wrestling. Like,

1:04:23

you know, yeah, dude was like super racist,

1:04:25

but he also kind of invented the language

1:04:27

of modern filmmaking. They

1:04:30

kind of invented the language for

1:04:32

pro wrestling. Yeah. You know, let's

1:04:34

not just do five hour catch

1:04:36

exhibitions. Let's work these finishes,

1:04:38

come up with actual finishing sequences. Uh,

1:04:42

let's, you know, turn it all fakie. Yeah. Uh, so

1:04:44

I'm going to say whatever the first one was where

1:04:46

they're like, Hey, I got a great idea. Yeah.

1:04:49

What do you got, Sandow? Let's

1:04:51

make this shit fake. Okay, cool. Yeah. And then

1:04:53

done that match. Uh,

1:04:57

Montreal screw job for me. This

1:05:01

one, would you, would you try like from the, I just want

1:05:03

to witness the chaos. I just want to witness the chaos. No,

1:05:07

don't let him put him in the sharpshooter.

1:05:10

I just want to witness the chaos in person. Honestly, you're

1:05:12

going to screw you, Brett. But,

1:05:15

but tell him bread about that might

1:05:17

have such a influence. What happens from

1:05:20

that point forward, not just in wrestling, but for

1:05:23

all we know, time. Well, afterwards,

1:05:25

Brett's wife would come out and be like,

1:05:27

Oh, you knew, didn't you? You knew, you

1:05:30

knew Larson. I didn't know. I

1:05:32

wouldn't be, I wouldn't be just lingering backstage though. I'd

1:05:35

get back to my time machine and come back to the present. Oh,

1:05:37

Hunter. Yeah. It's going to

1:05:40

come down on you. I liked his,

1:05:42

he was evoking like, you know, the,

1:05:44

the karmic powers of God striking Hunter

1:05:46

down for smote for

1:05:48

basically just fixing a wrestling. I know.

1:05:50

For like, refix, you know, like, uh,

1:05:57

Oh man, that was funny. The

1:06:01

next Time

1:06:03

or here says your discussion with the logic

1:06:05

behind Tony DiAngelo and his family as today's

1:06:07

show Maybe think about how we accept the

1:06:09

ridiculousness of some wrestling characters without overthinking it

1:06:11

with the best example of this being the

1:06:13

undertaker Where is that line between

1:06:15

being able to question the logic on a wrestling

1:06:17

character and not overthinking it and just accepting it

1:06:19

For what it is. This is what it is

1:06:21

for me Okay if

1:06:24

I accept and if that would be a

1:06:28

Orchestrates their creative to abide by the

1:06:31

rules of the self-contained universe they've created

1:06:34

Yeah, I can for

1:06:36

the most part suspend my disbelief the issue

1:06:38

with Tony DiAngelo is He's

1:06:41

not just trying to be the dawn of NXT. He's

1:06:43

trying to be a gangster outside of it Yeah,

1:06:45

and that's the issue if he was just

1:06:48

had a numbers racket at the PC You

1:06:51

know the protection racket at the

1:06:53

PC All right, I can

1:06:56

buy in but when he's got other

1:06:58

business dealings at the docks sanitation

1:07:01

department No, doesn't

1:07:04

make any sense Doesn't make

1:07:06

any sense. Yeah Yeah,

1:07:08

right. It's not the it's not the

1:07:10

idea that oh you can believe that

1:07:12

or you have a hard time with

1:07:14

that But you don't believe or but

1:07:16

you you find buying into Bray Wyatt

1:07:18

having supernatural powers Well,

1:07:21

like I said solely in this self-contained

1:07:23

universe they've created. Yes, right. They have

1:07:25

explained that he's got Supernatural

1:07:28

powers therefore I buy into his

1:07:30

supernatural powers. I'm still thoroughly confused

1:07:32

about Tony DiAngelo Like

1:07:35

if he's a mob boss Why

1:07:38

is it that he's in developmental

1:07:40

and WWE wrestling making 50,000 a

1:07:43

year? Yeah, that doesn't make any sense to me

1:07:46

Yeah, that's confusing but I'll actually go more

1:07:48

broad than that Lars and I'll just say

1:07:50

if it's cool I don't care. All right.

1:07:52

Oh, it's say if something's like just fucking really cool

1:07:54

Like I don't really give a shit, you

1:07:56

know, like Kane and Undertaker.

1:07:59

They used to be But then when they

1:08:01

got together as brothers of destruction was fun

1:08:03

cool You know APA used to be

1:08:05

cult members, and then they just decided to be that

1:08:07

actually does make some amount of sense Yeah, how'd you

1:08:09

guys meet we met in the cult? Yeah, they got

1:08:11

out of coal. They decide to stick around together Yeah,

1:08:14

we decided to start a business where we would protect people

1:08:16

yeah We

1:08:18

would always be pounding ass Alex

1:08:21

Foster here says what wrestler should probably be

1:08:23

more over if they just played themselves Says

1:08:27

I like to try to see it for cross and

1:08:29

a moss Yeah,

1:08:31

those are good names yeah cross

1:08:34

and Scarlett seem like a thoroughly

1:08:36

charming couple yeah So

1:08:39

like yeah, I kind of feel like they should I

1:08:41

actually you know the funny thing about cross that

1:08:43

it's a really cool gimmick It is not really

1:08:45

need and really care about wins and losses because

1:08:47

he wins the war not the battle exactly Exactly

1:08:50

he fucks people up, but then like they don't ever

1:08:52

come back and be like cross you did this to

1:08:54

me Yeah, I think what it's lacking it is is

1:08:57

like nobody comes back And is

1:08:59

like bro ever since I messed with

1:09:01

you. Well. You know I lost my house I lost

1:09:03

my wife and my dog got ran over by a

1:09:06

car. What the hell? Because

1:09:08

then it could be like oh yeah look what I can

1:09:10

do to people yeah, yeah Another

1:09:13

name cross and a moss are good names,

1:09:15

but also Austin theory oh That's

1:09:18

top of the list Yeah, anytime

1:09:20

I've ever seen that guy away from his

1:09:22

character in WWE. He seems super freaking cool.

1:09:25

Yeah, yeah Doc

1:09:27

Hensley here says who do you think is

1:09:29

the best WWE wrestler a W is signed

1:09:31

outside of mocks? Danielson

1:09:37

or swerve I

1:09:40

mean Danielson's put on on how many match of the

1:09:42

year candidates This

1:09:48

is a good question from Luis should

1:09:50

W have Cody facing off against dusty's

1:09:52

kids from NXT Should

1:09:54

what should W be have Cody

1:09:57

facing off against dusty's kids from

1:09:59

NXT? You

1:10:01

know people that he were that was dusty

1:10:04

in a professional official sense were mentors to

1:10:07

a lot of people in NXT should Cody

1:10:09

be feuding with them is

1:10:12

the question. I mean he did they reference that over

1:10:14

and over though. They were like that punk was talking

1:10:16

about it anyways. I mean

1:10:18

even AJ mentioned it even though AJ was never an NXT.

1:10:20

But the same idea. They got

1:10:22

to do the opposite to be honest. I know. They

1:10:25

got to start distancing. Can we have one Cody

1:10:27

feud where Dusty's name is not brought up? Remember

1:10:29

last time I said that I think dope in the

1:10:31

comments was like that's a that's a story but he

1:10:34

finished the story. The story is

1:10:36

done. Yeah. New story. No dusty

1:10:38

in story. Yeah. Yeah.

1:10:42

Um. Oh

1:10:45

here we go Matt Michael Scalmanini says

1:10:47

this one's for Larson wondering if you've seen everyone

1:10:49

saying that the Oakland A's are now basically the

1:10:51

team for Major League. I have seen that. I've

1:10:53

seen that a lot. Yeah. Yeah.

1:10:58

Yes. Sadly I don't think the finish

1:11:00

is going to work out the same in real life as

1:11:02

it did the movie. That being the team stays in the

1:11:04

city. Yeah. Oh yeah. Although apparently

1:11:06

they even decided on the

1:11:10

Tropicana site where exactly

1:11:12

the stadium is going to go. I

1:11:14

was reading that the other day. I was like is

1:11:16

this thing even going to happen or are they going

1:11:18

to be in Sacramento like for 10 years before this

1:11:20

gets sorted out. It's possible. Just playing at the River

1:11:22

Cats place. Who knows.

1:11:24

It's kind of crazy. It is. Steve

1:11:27

Klain here says have you been playing the AEW

1:11:29

game. No. No. No.

1:11:33

I even stopped playing. I don't even play 2K 24.

1:11:36

Although apparently like a Tat

1:11:38

Boy Grimm made us in the game and they're really really

1:11:40

good. So I'd like to revisit that.

1:11:44

But no I don't have any desire to play fight

1:11:46

forever do. Carlos

1:11:51

Diaz says Okada versus Omega

1:11:54

5 is inevitable. One

1:11:57

would expect it to be a 50 minute

1:11:59

clash. Should the match be approached

1:12:01

in a different way, knowing about Kenny's issues? Well,

1:12:04

I would think he would, well, here's the

1:12:06

thing. He would only come back after he's

1:12:09

been cleared medically. And

1:12:11

I'm sure if Kenny and

1:12:13

Okada is one of Kenny's first matches back,

1:12:17

the focus of the story is probably gonna

1:12:19

be Okada working over Kenny's midsection. Sorry,

1:12:22

Zondo says, yeah, make it a WWE speed

1:12:24

match. Hold

1:12:28

on a second. What? We

1:12:31

got 500 people watching, yet we only have 155 likes. What

1:12:34

in the fuck? That's not working out. Once

1:12:36

it's 50%, please, we need 100 more. Smash

1:12:39

that like button. We need 100 more very quickly. If you're watching, just

1:12:41

hit the like button, it takes half a second. If we get to

1:12:43

250, we'll consider doing another

1:12:46

24 hour stream. No, that's not true, at

1:12:48

all. No, I just said, listen, I just said we'd

1:12:50

consider it. Doesn't mean we're not. Yeah, no, I think

1:12:52

we'd consider that. In no way am I gonna even

1:12:54

consider. Hell people are gonna consider it. Oh. Tell

1:12:57

them. That's a lie, Steve, we don't lie around here. Well,

1:12:59

you don't lie about it. George

1:13:04

Callaway here says, if WWE does move on

1:13:06

from Def Rebel, do you guys have any

1:13:08

of their songs do you think should be

1:13:10

kept? Oh yeah, sure. LA

1:13:12

Knight's theme should be kept. Yeah. Carmelo's

1:13:15

got a killer theme. Yeah, he's Rick has a

1:13:17

killer theme. There's some that are fine. Roman's theme,

1:13:19

EO Sky's got an all timer. That song is

1:13:21

amazing. Yeah, that one's great. There

1:13:27

are others, but

1:13:30

a lot of them really need to go away.

1:13:32

Yeah. Yeah.

1:13:36

AJ needs, AJ's gotta get his old one

1:13:38

back. Yeah, I think you

1:13:40

see the point of changing it. Another

1:13:43

new attitude, new themes, that it? I

1:13:46

guess. That's so dumb though. It is.

1:13:49

Yeah, I don't like that. It's not

1:13:51

like a wholesale repackage. He's just a

1:13:54

little angsty now. Yeah,

1:13:56

yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm

1:13:58

Jack now, I'm Jack. Yeah, he's super. Anyway,

1:14:01

that's gonna do it for the show today.

1:14:03

Thanks everybody for tuning in. Man, it's gonna

1:14:05

be neck and neck this week when it

1:14:08

comes to the ratings here at Going in

1:14:10

Raw in terms of

1:14:12

AEW versus NXT. NXT's episode did

1:14:14

not do terribly last year. Well

1:14:16

yesterday, man. Yeah. Didn't

1:14:18

do terribly. Didn't do great. Didn't do

1:14:20

terribly. I do know that

1:14:23

yesterday's NXT episode did get over 200 likes

1:14:25

before we finished the stream. I

1:14:27

think it was over 250. Wow, really? I mean,

1:14:29

we're not even to 200 right now on

1:14:31

the YouTube, but honestly, I'm a little disappointed

1:14:33

by it. Wow. I

1:14:36

thought AEW wins again, but I guess

1:14:38

not. Guess not. Like,

1:14:41

what more do we have to ask? For

1:14:44

shame. For shame. Maybe we

1:14:46

need to be more likable, Larson. Have you thought about that? I

1:14:49

don't know how to be likable though. That's my

1:14:51

problem. Make empty promises. That's what I was talking

1:14:53

about the line. No, see, here's the thing. That

1:14:55

makes you maybe short term more likable. People realize

1:14:57

promise is empty. And you're

1:15:00

more unlikable. Then make

1:15:02

more empty promises. People figure that

1:15:04

out. Eventually

1:15:06

they're going to have no trust in anything you say. Just

1:15:10

completely and totally unlikable. Light

1:15:12

count in the toilet. You know

1:15:14

what you'd do then? Giveaways.

1:15:17

More. Yeah, exactly. Giveaways.

1:15:20

Exactly. Anyways, that's going

1:15:22

to do it. Thanks for the opportunity. I appreciate

1:15:25

it. Till next time. We'll see. White

1:15:27

Hilton. Yeah, I know. I'm
