Hello again, friends. And you are our friends and welcome back to another edition of Jim Cornett Try-Thru. Right here on another fine professional day. We're going to have a professional show, no laughter, just a serious look at professional wrestling. I'm your host, the great Brian last, and here he is, a man who has been seriously looking at professional wrestling for a very long time, Mr. Jim Cornett. And I'm serious about it, too, and I'll tell you one thing right now. There'll be no laughter. There'll be no merriment, no frivolity.

Everybody, it's winter is coming. You've got to take the heaters out of your cars. We want no joking around, no kidding around. This is going to be a professional environment. Who are the professionals that are coming in to do this thing now? How long do we have to be here before they show up? Are they late? Let me get your professional opinion.

What do you prefer? The usual one? That sound or what I just did here? Well, honestly, that has a little bit more of an evangelical vibe, Brian Lass, and I'll tell you this, that if I was going to stand up at the pulpit, and I was going to preach to the assembled throng, I would want an organ of that kind behind me as I asked the people to lay their hands on their mobile devices

and give us 10% of your income. All right, let me turn off this one, because this is going to make noise throughout the hole. Yeah, it's already making sense. some noise. Well, Yeah, it's your professional program. The professionalism continues here.

Would you like my professional opinion of your professional program? Maybe after the time limit runs out, but right now we have a lot of show to do and a lot of things to talk about. You're saying there's still a chance that this could turn out good. Yes, there's still a chance. We haven't gone so far deep into it

that there's no turning back or upward. That's right. And we're only a few minutes in, so upward is the only way we could really go at this point. Well, speaking of upward, when things go up in the air, generally, what goes up must come down, right? That's the way that generally falls bounces. Yeah, gravity. Well, I'll tell you what, did you hear the big news in Louisville, Kentucky this week?

Did you hear about this? Read about this? I did. And unfortunately, when any of these things happen, I always wonder, was Jim near it or was Jim involved in it? No, no, I have no culpability whatsoever, nor any. nearness to this thing. It was a ways down the road from me. It's in the same town. But a food coloring factory exploded. And let me say that actually, if you heard the news headline explosion at the food coloring factory, that underplays it. This fucking play, the food coloring factory

blew the fuck up. Just boom up and then down all over the neighborhood. Pieces of food coloring factory. We're all over, they heard the blast and felt the shockwaves for a mile in every direction and people have blown out windows and

besides the stuff in various degrees of wholeness laying around their yards and on top of their houses and cars and things. They blew their windows out. This woman here, her light fixtures came off

the ceilings. It popped screws out the drywall. I mean, what's a food color? I didn't even know it was there, because honestly, I've lived here much of my life, but I've never been in the market for bulk food coloring. So I never had to go straight to

the factory. The great mudas fucked. Well, yeah, coincidentally, apparently the food coloring industry is based all out of Switzerland. They got the chocolate and the food coloring, because this It's a plant.

It's been here for some time in Louisville, Kentucky, but the corporate office was slow to comment on this matter of their fucking plant blow. And I have two people got killed, Lem's sent to the hospital. But they're parent companies in Switzerland. Why would you be a food coloring company in Switzerland and say, I'm going to make this shit in Louisville, Kentucky? Is it that way or is it the other way around? It's an American company that does the majority.

their business in Switzerland. No, this is a, this is not an American company because the name of it, no newscaster in this market has pronounced it to say it twice. Juvenin? Givunin? I don't know what fuck. I don't know what they're speaking over there. But nevertheless, so this play, Blue Up did all kinds of damage and, you know, chaos going on.

It said fatalities. And apparently, one of the, well, current employees, actually ex-employees, there's no place to go to work. But she was interviewed and had footage on her phone of it. She said she had lodged complaints and gone to management and said the shit was breaking down. And there was footage on her phone of just some kind of steam coming out of one of the fucking big boilers in this place. and the neighbors said that they had had an issue last year with their houses and cars and fences being covered in dripping food coloring.

It is like nobody did anything. And this is the whole fucking, what are they using in the food color and it can blow a goddamn factory all over the neighborhood? And why are we ingesting it? It's the commies. Well, that's, you know what? we did the fucking or who did the beepers

did we do no Israel did the beepers the greatest strategic hit of all time well we're we're on their side so we they did the beepers and now the commies are doing the food coloring was it red was it red well what I saw video of it looked like when it was dripping from the from last year

it was like orange food coloring all over every fucking body or everybody's shit. Everyone was the orange from the explosion? It just, it was dripping on this woman's fence and it just looked like orange shit dripping from the like it landed and began

running. But anyway, so as any of these things happen, my first two thoughts are, is Jim okay? Is Travis Hekel okay? And every time it's anything, you're both like, yeah, we're okay and then you laugh about it. Well, I mean, and again, people were injured.

It's not, but it's just so preposterous. of this whole situation that right under anybody's nose they've got this factory that could blow up at any time and there's obviously there's the issue of the mayor is vowing to get. He says

they have scheduled to speak to these corporate people and they're going to be very transparent and hopes that the corporate people will as well so they're going to get to the bottom of this and what they were cooking up there in the goddamn muda mist section.

You know, Gary Hart warned us. Oh, you know, when you blow the black, brother, the shit's on. And the weather here is frightful. I just want you to know. Also, you have a problem with the weather. You're so dry now they're having wildfires in New Jersey. Is this correct? There are now wildfires on both sides of the country.

It's pretty frightening. Well, in the middle, it's getting soggy. And see, here's the formula you need to go by. I told you about this this summer and now proved it again. You can control the weather. Whatever is most inconvenient for you, if you are cursed such as I am, because remember I said this summer at the beginning of the June, beginning of the June,

I love to sing about the moon and the juna and the springa. At the beginning of June, I planted 15 trees in my front yard, and it didn't rain again for three and a half weeks. I had to be out there with a fucking hose, watering these things, they wouldn't die. And then it would alternate between torrential downpours and damaging winds and thunderstorms.

It would knock the big trees down and periods of two and three weeks of drought where not a sweat off a frog's balls wouldn't drop from the sky. And so then I remember I updated you a couple weeks ago that my tree guy had smartened me up that I didn't know that if you plant trees, a tree, if you plant trees, a tree, multiple trees, whatever,

in a late fall, early winter like this, you get them in the ground, you water them good, and then it's wintertime, and then you don't need to water them again. Because I said, I'd put more trees in, but I couldn't water them all, so we ought to do it now, blah, blah, blah. So I'll have you know the brine that it wasn't even two weeks ago. I put 15 new trees in the backyard and it hasn't stopped fucking raining. It rained two inches yesterday

to go along with the inch and a half the day before or was it the other way around. But nevertheless, it's goddamn, it's just fucking raining all over the place. When the trees don't need the rain, the rain comes. That sounds like a Credence Clearwater Revival song. All right, well, until...

So there's... That's the weather. Until Saul Zanz takes us, takes the show away from us. I guess we will continue on. Yeah, I'm sorry, trademark, Saul's Ants. Did you see that the good guys won one? I don't know which, I don't know who you're talking about or what they won. The good guys won one, the Onion bought the Info Wars website at bankruptcy court with

contributions or help from or partnership from or whatever, the Sandy Hook families. And they are putting a gun safety site on InfoWraud. wars as Alex Jones is blubbering and bankrupt. And they own all the old content, right? They own everything. It's not just the website I'm saying it's the content that he created over 20, 30 years, whatever. Well, much of that stuff should have never seen the light of day the first time around,

but they can feel free to use it in debunking him and making mockery of him and whatever the fuck, you know, I suppose. But also just the irony. And not even in an Alanis-Morissette way, but in a American Heritage Dictionary way, the irony of the, because, yeah, I mean, even remotely removed from normal people's politics or whatever, you've got to be a special championship level flaming asshole to lie about children that got murdered just because some wacky portion. of your audience doesn't want to believe it happened. And they took him to court and he,

if he gets a job mowing lawns from now, he owes them like a billion dollars. Because reasonable jurors in a court said this fucking slime ball. And he'll be

paying him for the rest of his life. And there was an article the other day on well, I've actually clicked on it because it was on Twitter, so I can't remember what the origination was, but it was a valid place. It didn't just have a tagline. It said news. The rise of this AM talk radio horseshit led directly to the rise of the belief in all these things that these people believe in, whether it be space aliens or whatever. See, one of the things that, you know, because I know

people that were listening to Alex Jones like, geez, at this point maybe 15 years ago. And I watched it a few times and listened to him a few times. Because the way they saw it at first was this guy's so entertaining. You got to watch him just screaming about all this stuff. And then slowly they started to not realize what I realized, which was he's a worker. He's working. Like, he understands who his audience is. And now everything is a work.

and he has to further these things because this is how he makes his money. The sponsor, or at least the first one that I remember on the show I heard again years ago, was for seeds. You know, the world is coming to an end. You need seeds to plant on the ground and grow your own new nutrient. And the world is still here and whoever has those seeds. Wait a minute, ladies gentlemen,

unlike our oftentimes sponsor seed that promotes digestive health. Oh yeah, no, it was like a brand of seeds. I don't even know what anything was. Yeah, it was like, plant this shit because you're going to need to grow your own garden. Like, it wouldn't be radioactive anyway. Earth's a real promise, or whatever the fuck it was.

I don't know. But that was the whole gimmick was preaching this apocalyptic view of things and just without having any knowledge of really, any deep knowledge beyond the knowledge anyone who reads the newspaper or watches anything on the right or the left would have just jumping on crazy shit and riding it because it was content and this was his job he was a worker like a carnival barker like a corrupt evangelist like a professional wrestler it was all

a work and it got so far away as one of those things in my former past i must i'm sorry but where do you cross the line between giving people entertainment for $5, which is kind of like shooting a movie and just telling them it's a documentary, and lying about murdered children. Right. See, that's where it completely crosses the line. And then he doubled down and tripled down and he didn't get away from it. And, you know, he started living the gimmick.

And it got him in the end. And it's good that it did. It got him in the end. in the end he's going to get it from both ends a spit roast of Alex Jones is happening right now and so that was a good thing

and the onion is probably going to be what the most accurate news site here in the next several months if everybody else gets cracked down on for telling the truth anyway it's nice to see

that somebody pays penalties for lying and bullshitting people about stuff that does damage. But you know what doesn't do any damage, Brian last? No, I do not know what that is. It doesn't do any damage to purchase a nice Christmas present for the wrestling fan in your life, social circle, business environment, or neighborhood. If you see somebody walking down the street with a wrestling shirt on,

get them something from Jimcornet.com for Christmas. and you'll never get rid of them. And right now, I'll have you know that I mentioned this on the previous program The Experience, but I will let the people in. We've been having these November sales, these weekly sales, where every week from Friday to Friday, another item goes on, say,

for a deep discount as part of Hotchkis Featherbottom's revolutionary November to Remember concept, right? So, I'm giving you a heads up, that we've got a special super duper, not just a week but 10-day sale for the final one, the Midnight Express Action Figure 4-pack collectible box set with book and certificate and autographed photo is going to be on sale at Jimcornett.com.

$40 off from Friday, November 22nd at noon all the way until Tuesday, December 3rd, so we hit Thanksgiving, Friday, Cyber Monday, and Titty Tuesday. I just threw that one in there because I thought that it might incite the people to go to the website, but there are no titties right now at Jim Hornett.com. But hurry for Christmas also, folks, because I'm still, we have caught up. I've signed everything that's been ordered through November 1st, which is like two weeks ago as we sit here.

and over the coming three or four days, I'm going to have that knocked down to November 7th. So we're running a couple weeks behind. If you get this in on this big end of the month's sale, then we're trying desperately to get everything out for you before Christmas. And that's all I got to say about that, Jimcornet.com. All right, Jimcoronet.com. Well, Raw was this week, and I know you watch.

What about Titty Tuesday? Were you wanting to get involved in that until I... Well, unfortunately, we have to go back to Marose Monday because you watched Raw this week, and because of that, we have to talk about Raw this week. But there were a few segments that went viral, one specifically reminiscent of the early days of AEW, and one, just a continuation of this weird kidnapping swerve,

not Swirc Strickland, a classic swerve, I guess. Is that Swir. WWE Raw this past week. They swerve when they write. Yeah, they swerve when they write. Yeah, they swerve when they're. they write the show. Just another

manic Monday. It was very, it was depressing. The people there were happy. But I was on my couch and I was like, oh boy, howdy. Raw on November 11th, from Grand Rapids, Michigan. Just another

garden spot of America hosting Monday Night Raw. And they're making money hand over Fiscigan. I said I told you right before we went on the air. I said, we're not going to spend a lot of time on this, because except for the stuff to make fun of, it's not like this wasn't like an unprofessional show.

It looks great. Everybody's a star. The fans again is like they get cue sheets. They see minimal excitement, and they're chanting. And what are they putting in the goddamn soft rakes? Do they have some type of additive, possibly of ICO pro that's left over from the warehouse, they're shooting it in the goddamn

caramel and a Coca-Cola mixes in these buildings, because these people are just going out of their minds watching some people speak to each other. Am I overstating this? Am I being hyperbolic? You're not because if you haven't noticed I've been somewhat

dismissive the last several weeks of these raw reviews. Because I don't like the show. It's not... I appreciate how successful they are, And I want to see the big things play out, but there's a whole lot of nothing I have to sit through on Raw. And even some of the talking segments ain't all that. It's like, you know, if you, if when you were a kid

in the territory days, the reason you liked wrestling and you would be a wrestler, you wanted to just watch this, because they're, oh, these are like superheroes, these are like, you know, badasses. And these are, well, this is wild shit. And now it's like, if you want to be an archaeologist, that's more of the temperament where you're taking one of those boxes with the screen on the bottom and you're taking an hour to sift through some cow shit from 700 AD

to find out if there's a turd in a punch bowl or whatever. That's the patience that you've got to display. But real briefly, before we get to the, I don't know what to call it, the opening promo with Gunther and Damien Priest. it's Gunther walks out and says I'm still the world heavyweight champion

and who's my next challenge of Damian Priest and they play Priest that's all he said and they play priest music and he comes the ring and says if you got to say something about me say it to my face

so for the next 10 minutes or so that's what they did they fucking talk to each other and attempted in a somewhat half-hearted fashion to provoke each other

but I mean remember when on a wrestling show Brian an argument could escalate from zero to 60 at about 45 seconds it usually did and then you'd want to see it play out as soon as you could tell you know what the arena is but I understand they got a two-hour show here

and it used to be three but holy mackerel anyway finally it ended up with hey Gunther you want to a swing at me, take it. And here came Ludwig Kaiser. And he was the most aggressive fucker in this thing because

he was promo and Damian Priest for doubting the ring, general. And you need to get out of the ring right now and save yourself. And he could have promo on him. And Guelther stopped him and started telling him off. And like, don't do this. And then Kaiser said, I'm not. gonna let this street trash talk to you like that and priest knocked Kaiser out and then

Gunther and Priest just had a fucking face off and Gunther got out of the ring and gathered Kaiser up and they left what kind of friend if if some if if some guy and you or have some guy and you is that proper grammar if you and some sounds like a website sounds like a dating website some guy and you uh if you and another gentleman are having an argument, not a violent one, but a disagreement on the street. And a friend of yours comes up and says, I'm not going to let this fat fuck talk to you like that. And the guy decks your friend? Are you, are he's, well, shit.

And now they're illustrating somehow there's some tension between Gunther and Kaiser because Gunther is more honorable or he doesn't want Kaiser to be a loud mouth or I don't know. What's going on here? Yeah, what's going to happen? Is Kaiser turning baby face? Is it going to be that they hope the fans eventually won him? They get Guntor and just hit him one time? Well,

because they do have a baby face named Kaiser Wilhelm or whatever his name is. Well, we had a baby face in Texas named Fritz von Erick, so these things can work. But, I mean, not if they continue to portray Kaiser after they were giving him some oomph, and now he just, he gets knocked out with one shot, no rebuttal, and his friend doesn't even take up for him. but anyway, I noticed that and then

it came the match where Kofi Kingston was wrestling Butch who don't want to be called Butch anymore is too late now that's all we can think of we see that moop face Pete Dunn

what is he could play a caveman in a movie with no makeup he's got an odd featured fucking face doesn't he I don't know what that means. With the contours of his much less the shadow of his smile. An odd featured face.

And it doesn't match his body which is short and squat but his face is long and there's potentially more room between his chin and his fucking top of his head than there ought to be to make it you know proportion and correct. I don't know.

I don't know. He's a fucking midget caveman with a little Dickensy and impish twist. I don't know what's going on with this fucking guy. I mean, that's the other thing. I know that they make it that he hates Butch. Butch was the better character than the caveman character. Well, we hated the name, Butch, but he, you know, he looked, I don't.

I hated the way he looked like some little kid you would see on the streets of London. That's like selling newspapers or throwing rocks or doing something bad, you know. Or being flipped a crown to go by the biggest Christmas goose in the window. God, this is a fairly smart fucking show, isn't it? For the wrestling genre at least. So, nevertheless, they're having this match, and nobody really cares about the... And Kofi's having the problems with Woods,

who's getting an attitude and has been for a long time. Talk about a slow-cooking fucking goose. But then finally, they do something where Butch gets on top of Kofi and in the manner of a ground and pound, he starts pounding the shit out of the mat next to Kofi's head in plain sight the worst I've ever seen

worse than that at least the uh well yeah but there was 12 guys in the ring at that time I'm not excusing doing it but it was harder to see because there was so much more going on because they were 12 guys fighting all over the fucking place but this was a single match there wasn't anything else to shoot because I saw somebody

on Twitter so what's the cameraman's fault? What do you want Pete to do? Give him Kofi a concussion? No, just learn to fucking work. Isn't this guy supposed to be this great worker from the British Isles or whatever the fuck? How's it the cameraman's fault? He should have, some of these...

Should have shot the suing. Yeah, what the fuck? Well, no, some of these marks, and I do not use that term with endearment, because they are, the modern marks, think that it's done with camera angles. And that, you know, you've got to expect that the live show, you're going to be able to see through it because they don't hide it with the camera angle, you fucking morons.

We had live shows for 100 fucking years. Nobody did this shit. Point being, he was pounding the shit out of the mat and what he was going for, and I don't know what was going through his mind when he was doing it, but what he was going for was he was trying to look like he was bringing his elbow down at the base of who's he, what's he, Kofi's Neck. And it would look like, and I'm using the air finger quotation marks,

it would look like that he was really hammering the elbow into the back of the guy's neck and he's really stopping himself by punching the mat, but he tried to, he did it like a dozen times, just boom, boom, boom, boom. And the longer he did it, the worse it looked and the less care

he was taken with it, so by the last couple, he was just punching the mat straight down. And we just had a talk, Brian, on whatever show we did last about guys throwing a punch, last couple of shows. instead of punching a guy six times in the face while you're backing him up to the ropes to shoot him off

and he can run so you can do a big move and you're talking to him while you're punching him and he's listening to you instead of selling him that's just caca and the same thing applies here if you want it you can't if you can do something like this and work at prop where it doesn't look

see-through, then bless you. But instead of doing it a dozen times in a row, draw back, follow through, and land it, boom, and let the guy register, draw back, follow through, and land it, boom, let the guy register. Dick Murdoch was a master at that

where every part of him was involved in something, if he was going to punch you in a face, if he grabbed your hair with his left hand and bent your head back so your face was exposed, and meantime he's with his right hand drawing back behind him and making a fist so the people can see it and he's crocking his right leg behind him

so that when he leans back you can tell he's really winding up for this thing and when he would throw it boom with one snap right a millimeter in front of your fucking head and if you sold it boom and you would rock and you would go down Instead of this phony-looking bullshit that's just people are just scoffing at or overlooking because you're nobody anyway. So why do they don't care? But which is the better option?

Make people remember one thing you did for positive because it looks so good. Or make people remember the dozen things you did that were so fucking phony. But that was the viral part of the program. And it certainly gave me a little bit of the... rocking pneumonia and the boogie-wogie flu. So he could do all the moves, you know, he can go in there and have a really good match with a, who was it, Tyler Bate, I think, way back we saw those matches.

And he could do all the moves and keep up with all the modern guys, but when someone can't do something like that, is that bad training? Is that just not caring enough about something that should be an important part of a wrestler, of a wrestler's repertoire, the punch? Well, not even a punch, but just your work to not be so see-through. it's not bad training because I'm pretty sure in wrestling school they never covered a spot okay get the guy down on his fucking belly

face down and just start hammering him like you're hammering him with elbows to the base of his fucking spine over and over they probably never got to that one in wrestling school this was something that he had come up with in his mind he's trying to be creative not saying he should be cast off into the sun on a rocket ship but goddamn it was embarrassing if you care about the business but in his mind he was thinking it will look like

that I'm doing this if I do this and it didn't remotely but you ought to be able to see or tell if you have that much experience if you've been in the ring that long you ought to be able to cut something like that I mean when you're when you're being given a big bump and it looks like shit and somebody's flinging you sometimes when

you're upside down in the air or whatever like that, you can't really tell how it looks. But if you're delivering blows to someone, you should be able to tell how it fucking looks, is what I'm saying. And somebody needs to maybe mention to him, and I bet you they did. Take that one out unless, you know,

workshop it in practice or whatever, but take it out off a television. And see, that's another thing that... Don't work for the... cameras work for the arena? Well, yeah, we'll work for both. See, that's the thing. If you're working for the arena, the cameras will pick it up.

And you have to, but you know at the same time that the cameras are closer than most of people in the arena. And see, that's the thing. On house shows, yeah, don't, you know, don't split the hair right down to the, to the infinitive and take a chance on giving a guy a black eye because it needs

to look so good, right? On the house shows. These guys are used to working in big buildings in front of a lot of people now. And you can't tell at some distance away. But on television, you need to tighten it up. It's not about the camera angles. That's what the previous production staff under Buckey Beaver was, remember, the camera would cut with every move when it was supposedly landing.

Either that or would zoom in and out. Yes, because that was supposed to either make it look more frantic or you wouldn't be able to tell if they missed. And I know some guys, when they started doing that in the early days, they were insulted if they did it in their matches. Like, motherfucker, like, my shit don't look good. You got to cut the camera, let the people see what I'm fucking doing. There was some resentment in some quarters.

But no, the cameramen are not going to cover shit that whiffs and misses with their camera angles because this is a live action one take theater and around production and they can't they plan their camera angles for the entrances and the looks

over the shoulders and the guy comes up behind the other guy that type of thing but not every goddamn step of the fucking match that would be impossible so nevertheless would you like to go now to where apparently you're right Brian last. You are correct, sir. You have called something that is unfolding in front of our eyes,

and it's being denied. That's why we know it's going to happen. You know what I'm talking about? Something to do with the panties? No, we're not talking about that on the air. Bronson Reed and Seth Franklin Rollins. Being added to the war games, number five and number five. you called this before we saw this program the other day, didn't you? Or did you? I said something, but I don't want to take credit for it. Well, I don't know. I can't keep track of the times. All these days are but a blur,

taking away the moments that make up a dull day, frittering and wasting the hours in an offhand way. But at 9 o'clock... Panties. The witching hour. Pandy, what do you have to... Brunson Reed. came out to the ring and did a promo about Seth.

And if Seth, if you want your revenge, I'm here in the ring right now. My God, again, it's the same pattern as the same thing. Once an hour, somebody comes out to the ring, mentions somebody's name, or calls them out, they instantly appear, and here we go. And the buildings are packed,

and these people are making a fortune. They're printing money. Printing and minting. And here comes Seth, and he hits the ring and they have a fight, and they're going to do the desk thing. But Seth dives on Reed before Reed can splash on Seth, and security comes out for a big pull apart, and Bronson Reed does a dive through the ropes that Seth dodges

and he takes out security like a bowling ball through bowling pins. And here comes Pierce, and we go to the break. and we come back from the break and Rollins, I want Bronson Reed. And Adam Pierce is fine. I'm sick of you, people. Next week, you're going to have Bronson Reed, and he walks off. And then Sammy comes in. And he makes the pitch. He's a very reasonable fellow is Sammy Zane, very calm and level-headed,

and tries to appeal to your better angels. And he tells Seth why that he should be the fifth. guy on their war games team because of the family bond between Seth and Roman nobody else can do this you're our fifth guy and Seth says

you're out of your fucking mind I'm going to have nothing to do with Roman Raines or building him back up I don't want to discuss this any further good day to you sir so now you know it's going to happen right yeah yep

I know it's going to happen And you know what? Let's talk about it though Under the idea that it's going to happen and Reed and Rollins will be added to the two sides in war games And we'll talk about the rest of the show or you will Is it the right move? If you need five guys and

You kind of do I mean there have been four on four war games But five on five is really war games Are these the right two guys to add to the match Considering the kind of feud they've had well yes i think Seth works because of the roman thing and the the checkered pass they've had

and reed looks vaguely Samoan because he's from Australia with i assume some island blood of that type over there I don't know what all the fucking strains are you can stop but i don't know

it could be the Andromeda strain but here's the thing and yes there is because it's a hot angle now that they're in this thing where it's a hot angle but I don't I wouldn't have been bothered by four on four because this is the four people right it's like you're not even evening up a dinner party by inviting the

a girl for the odd guy or vice versa, you're making it an odd number. There's four members of the original faction and four current members of this faction unless they were going to introduce a fifth member of the heel group to where the baby faces had to search for someone outside the current party, then I think they could have gone four on four and just kept it, more focused and done something with Seth and and read more individually.

I know, and I know they've done those, but they're obviously, they're going to do more. And we've heard, like, time after time, there must be two or three times now every few months. They've signed another member of the family. There was Hicolayo, the giant. There's another one of the Anawai family.

I don't know who. There's another fatu out there. And we keep hearing there signing one after another, but we don't see them. up here, so we'll see... Well, but at the same time, you gotta be careful about... Is this Hayman's return? It has to be Hayman's return, right? Why? He escorts these guys at a cage?

No. You don't think so? This is not... I don't think it's a big enough deal. Hmm. I don't... No, and not a multiple person... Or the Rock. The Rock might pop up to, you know, come out and pose or be involved, whatever.

But with... One at a time there, Cowboy, what I'm with Hayman... that's that's some type of major singles match involving roman uh i don't know whether it's royal rumble it might even be russomani they don't need it right now i mean he's still there behind the scenes it's not like he's been exiled but they don't need him on television because they're still building wherever this is going but i don't think he would show back up for a 10-man war games, whatever the case may be.

And I don't think he'll show back up until somebody does something fairly heinous to Roman Raines to begin with. But that's just me. Speaking of heinous. Oh, go ahead. I was going to say maybe he needs to get on a phone and call Roman Raines with Mint Mobile. Well, you know, that's where Hayman's been, actually. He's on the road right now.

he's undergone a press and publicity tour because the phone plan that he has hooked up to his famous phone is MetMobile. And that's how he's able to afford those suits because he only pays $15 a month for his phone plan. And to be honest, I wish the phone plan that he'd have had 35 years ago when he hit me with that phone was a little lighter. But it's not the phone plan, that's the actual phone. Well, it wouldn't have hurt to lighten it up the plan a little bit. You don't know what his plan was. Well, I know what his plan was to get me the fuck out of WCW. But nevertheless, folks, if you've got a plan that you would like to execute

or a person you'd like to execute with a particular plan, whatever, you're not going to find a better plan. It's almost a plot over at MintMobil. They have carefully set in basements and dimly lit rooms with the curtains drawn late at night and concocted these revolutionary and radical ideas on how you don't have to pay a lot for your telephone service. And you not only get to talk on the phone, Lord knows the children don't do much of that anymore, you're going to get to text,

so mommy and daddy can just hand you the phone and say, text all of our friends and stay put in the corner, and you'll be happy, kids. You get to text, you get the high-speed data, you can watch all the various TikToks and flip-flops and monkey flips that are on the internet and it's on the nation's largest 5G network

you know what that means Brian I found out what that means the 5G network you just found that what did you find that it means and from who I found it's when you walk up to one of those big towers and you say gee that's a big tower their towers are so big you say gee five times. You're like, gee, gee, gee, gee, gee, gee, that's a big tower.

You've been hanging out with Hotchkiss again, haven't you? Well, he clued me in on it because he used to work for the phone company. Actually, he was one of the people, he was one of the people that came and fucking stuck the poles into ground. But anyway, so that's what it is. But these towers are big, folks. I'm telling you, they tower over everything. If, if they're not bolted to the ground properly. They can turn over and take out a swath, a half a mile of downtown. But

MenMobile's not responsible for that now. That would be an act of God, so you can't sue them. So if you want to plan with high-speed data, unlimited talk and text, and the nation's largest 5G network, as long as you don't try to sue them if a tower falls on your head, you can go right now to mintmobile.com slash JCE, and you're going to get three months a premium wireless service for $15 a month. Formerly, they would have to come and string wires to your home. And then you'd have the wires running in through the kitchen window or maybe coming down the fireplace chimney.

This isn't the 1880s. What are you talking about? That's not, no. No, that's what I'm saying. This is a wireless network. So you don't have to worry about no one will come to your home. No salesman will call. And they don't have to come and plug you in or wire you up or anything.

You just, you go to mintmobile.com and they can slash jCE and they can fix you up right there. You don't even have to schedule somebody to come over and climb up on your roof. And I thought I'd never get that guy out of the chimney. He got stuck halfway down. And it was cold too. I was ready to start a fire. Again, let's, I don't know where you're going right now. You sicko, but let's get back to Mittmobile.

After he'd been there for three or four days, he lost enough wage. that we were able to pull him down with that rope that he had tied around his ankle. Anyway, once again, folks, to get the new customer offer and your new three-month premium wireless plan, it was right around his ankle, right down there, and his foot almost came off. For just $15 a month, go to mintmobile.com slash J-C-E. That's mintmobile.com slash J-C-E.

$45 for three months. That's, I'm telling you. You can't beat it with it. whether it's like a sore peter or a busted drum. You just can't beat it. $45 up front payment required, which is equivalent to $15 a month. New customers on the first three-month plan,

only speed slower above 40GB on the unlimited plan, but you'll never notice. Additional taxes, fees, and restrictions may and possibly will apply. See Mint Mobile for all the details. All right. Mint Mobile, friends of ours, they can be friends of yours Of course as always

Well, if you are nice to them They'll be nice to you But I don't think we should make any assumptions That people at Mint Mobile Who are fine people Are just going to have to automatically like any asshole That comes up to them Slash JCE

Speaking of any asshole Hey, fuck you Well, I was talking about me Oh, hey, don't talk about yourself like that That's not nice Well, fuck you Hey, that's not nice either You know what else wasn't nice

the Ms. Oh, boy. So there's been the Carrying Cross and Company sounds like a goddamn jeweler at this point. They kidnapped Come to Cross and Company for her on Valentine's Day.

They kidnapped Ms. last week, and we're going to dismember him and do the Reservoir Dogs thing on him. They had just started playing stuck in the middle with you, by Steelers' wheel. They didn't kidnap him. The Wyatt's did.

Or the Wyatt's right. No, the Wyatt's kidnapped him. That's right. That's what I'm trying to say. Well, see, he's scared of the Wyat's. That's when Carrion Cross and company saw Ms. in the back,

he's scared of the Wyatts because he's petrified because they kidnapped him. It's what I'm trying to say. And he's done with this whole thing and he's asking for a leave of absence. He's going in. He said, I'm just, apparently

he was mentally impaired by this, just traumatized. And he wants... Makes two of us. Yeah, all the viewers makes a couple million of us. And he wouldn't tell Cross what happened with the Wyatts and why they let him go.

And he tells Christ, you just need to move on. So because of they have the two fat guys grab the Ms. and they're going to take him out into the arena with the following handheld camera shot where they just drag him straight out through the entrance way

and into the arena into the ring. And somehow, and Ms. is begging, no, please, no, please no. But somehow just grabbing him and roughly like giving him the bouncer walk out to the fucking bar door because he's had one too many, they busted his eye open.

his fucking eye by the time his thing's over with his eyes juiceed down his fucking his eye lid even which was very close to shit you don't want to be cut open and bleeding did you I couldn't I couldn't even see how they did it I tried to see and did somebody just thumb him in the fucking eye

I'm not sure because I didn't see what it happened and by the time I noticed that he was bleeding all over the place yeah I guess you could say that well I mean from you know it wouldn't have been a great juice job if you cut your forehead but if somebody is fucking hard-wade your eyelid, it was enough blood to concern me. Like, hey, motherfucker,

so these guys can't look at you sideways, apparently. I don't know. But they busted him open and crosses screaming, where are the Wyets, where are the way, and then the blackout and the piano music. And it wasn't piano man. It was just plink, plink, plank, plank.

And the Wyatt's all come to the ring and have a face off. with Cross and his minions, and the Miz suddenly takes a chair and hits... What's the big Wyatt Harper? Yeah, Lou Carper. Lou Carper. Wait, is that his name?

Is that his name? Or is it... No, I think I was Brody Lee. That was Luke Harper. Oh, God, well, and I... Why did you say that? Yeah, well, because they were partners in the... Right?

Wyatt Six. Who is that guy's name? Rowan. Eric Rowan. The guy with the red beard. Red beard. And they were partners, right? Him and Brody Lee.

So I'm not completely out of my mind. No, just tiny, tiny a little bit. Just a little, just one toke over the line, Brewer and Shipley. So anyway, Ms. takes a chair and just clocks him across the back and knocks him goofy. And Uncle Howdy, laughs about that and they all start fighting. And while all the rest of them are paired off four on four or whatever it was,

Ms. is taking a fucking chair to the big guy, just wearing him out. And I'm what in the world is happening? And the fans barely cared. They're just sitting there go, what the fuck is happening? And the wets are laid out.

And then crosshugs Ms. And the heels are walking out of the building and as all the whites are laying there had their ass handed to them. Uncle Howdy's still laughing about it. If I was the rest of these people, I'd have a serious talk with my uncle howdy.

If my own uncle howdy, who was Aunt Lola's first husband, is always laughing when I'm getting a shit kicked out of me. What kind of fucking uncle is he? At least they put them all together.

Is this the Jimmy Boogie Wogie Man Valiant versus Paul Jones's army of 2024. Yeah, of the WWR roster right now. That's exactly what this is, yeah. And other words. But we're at that point where the mighty Wilbur has joined the picture.

You know what I mean? Like, it's past, it's due date, this whole thing. I, you know, but that's, so that's where we're at now is that, uh, but Paul Ellering is off selling the attack that it was, his furniture, his house.

Oh, you're so, God. He's selling his house. He's having a getting out of the business sale. But he's selling the one move that he was given like a month and a half ago. Whatever, I don't know. Otherwise, than that, Seth Franklin reiterated that he is never going to fucking team up with Roman Reigns, but he's also blown Solo off because Solo made the pitch

join our team and you can get hold to Roman and says next time I'm in the ring with Roman I'm going to stomp him but I will never team with you a wannabe Roman Raines and he walked so you just know Solo's going to have to do something about that

and then otherwise than that it was also did the women's tag team title match that they promoted through the whole show Jade and Bianca versus Live and Rochelle Rochelle the bell rang with 10 minutes left on the air and they went to a commercial break in that time so they didn't have time to get from Milan to Minsk

and oh my God here came Tiffy and the refrigerator and Tiffy drew the referee and the refrigerator gave a shitty Samoan drop on the apron that was one of those things was more devastating in constant and then Rochelle, Rochelle did the elbow drop and Bianca saved and Naomi tackled Tiffy and Liv stopped Naomi

and Jade stopped Liv and Bianca hit her finish on Live one, two, three and then the refrigerator beat up all three of the baby faces but thankfully E.O. Sky was in the back dressed and for whatever reason because the show was over so I don't know why she hadn't got the hint, she wasn't needed, but she was there luckily and came down

and made a horrible comeback and all four of the baby faces beat up the refrigerator. And that was sort of an encapsulation of what the last 10 minutes of the program was like. I like the fact that she went from Raquel Gonzalez to Raquel Rodriguez to you just calling her Rachel

to now she's Rochelle, Rochelle. Well, it's easier for me to remember because they kept changing it so often. couldn't remember what it was, so now I've just... This way you can't make any mistakes. Well, I guess you can't make any mistakes when nothing happens. That was raw. They're making a fortune.

They're making a fortune. And if you believe what we hear from Dave Meltzer, so is Tony Con. And let's now go to the wonderful world of Tony Con and AEW Dynamite. Who, boy. You know, I may set a record here today. I may be speechless. I don't know what to say. I have voluminous notes.

Part of the reason, the opposite situation from the WWE in every way, they're making money hand over fist and the people are chanting and cheering and they're going crazy for almost nothing. You cannot, I'm writing this shit down just to be able to explain what happened because it's so convoluted

involving so many people it runs together that are doing the same. basic things over and over that it's almost impossible to decipher what's going on unless you do take voluminous copious notes and and even then you don't really understand you can convey what happened but trying to you used a word before we went on the air the show is fascinating now because it's in the wrong one. way, but yeah. Well, yeah, it's fascinating to watch this and that they don't, they not only don't have

any idea, apparently what the problem is, but they're doing more of it, of the problem. And it's like he's just letting everybody come up with their own shit and they do it independent of the rest of the show and what may be going on. And I mean, you know, there's multiple vehicular homicide attempts or whatever the fuck in every segment with different people. How does anything register? It doesn't. That's the problem.

They were in Bridgeport, Connecticut, and that will be important later on, ladies gentlemen. At Bridgeport, when I lived there in the late 90s, up in that area of Connecticut, Bridgeport was not a well-thought-of neighborhood. Remember the opening of Monday Night Raw when they had they looked like bombed out buildings and the chain link fences with the dogs barking and the vicious wild dogs on the other side and all that type of thing on the video of

the open of raw do you remember that of course they shot that in bridgeport without staging anything they just went to fucking bridgeport so now they got this big arena but the people I see are still afraid to go out at night apparently either of that Was this the surliest bunch of fans? They were like, my God, they had come in for shelter from a hurricane or something, and this stuff unfolded in front of them. What we heard directly from people who went there was that the crowd were AEW fans who were upset with the product and had no problem just shitting on it or sitting there

and being dead. The atmosphere was dead. there were a couple matches where they kind of came up a little bit towards the finish but we heard it was a dead crowd and it was their and it was their fans it wasn't like you know

interlopers came in and you know it wasn't our real people it was their fans and they just weren't feeling any of this shit they weren't smelling what was being cooked in front of them but if Rick Flair had not gone whew whitty chopped people the decibel level on this show

would have gone down about 75% wouldn't it? Because that was, in a lot of cases, that's what they had. But it just, it's odd. I'll try to explain what happened, folks, and then maybe you can ascertain or assign a description to this fever dream. The first tag team match was Christian Cage and Hangnail Page against our old friends, Jen and Juice.

We finally got to see Juice wrestle. And boy, he's the only one I'd like to see more of. And they use him like the WWE used to use Kaiser, a complete stooge sidekick who just, you can't take seriously. He's the one they cut off. He's the one they bump around. You see where I'm going with this.

And when they tagged him in this match, he got in and threw five punches and they cut him off. and at this point this is the first match and these guys are they're pushed they've been used right the crowd looked like a painting it looked a still life of a eW crowd by whistler's mother or whatever and they got a long set of heat on juice who is not barely established as a baby face and when he was a heel the people kind of liked him because of his look and his personality and that he was a heel

now that he and light switch or baby faces for the flimsiest of reasons the same appeal is not there plus he's a flunky at one point old Nick Plain and Christian's group tried to interfere on the floor and hoop just ran up

out of the crowd behind him and put him in a choke and drug him over the rail and they fought off and you never saw either one of them again. You didn't even see flashing lights, a police report being filed outside. He never came back in to go,

Mama, mama! I saw somebody on Twitter posted that the clip of that video and said whoever dropped their children off at the arena, please come pick them up, they're disrupting the wrestling show. And when they fought off, by the way,

Brian, did you notice they went, here is, Hook is wailing, Hook who came in in a hoodie, right? And he's in street clothes. Nobody would have known who he was had the announcers not identified him. And he's wailing a shit out of Nick, and they're running through the entranceway

and the building security. Some old women are just laughing and standing still and kind of smirking or one of them turned their back like, oh, don't hit me accidentally as you go by they're not trying to move out of the 50-year-old fucking women not trying to move out of the way. Real quick, I'll bring it up here

because I've noticed it a lot lately. Maybe, actually, I don't even think it has anything to do with the dead crowds. I think it's just the way they're doing it. That one security guard, the big guy with the bald head. Yes. You see him in everything. He's running with the heels.

He needs to like lay back a little bit, I think. Well, no, because here's the thing, these, here I go again, these indie-minded guys that the only experience they've had in their careers and the crowds has been in the rec centers and the indie shows where they, it's, oh, it's such a,

a big boost to everything if we fight all over the building. Now that they're working for a fucking billionaire and they're on national television, I am sure that the insurance you know what now that I think about it it'd be a tickle to know if Tony Kahn's insurance company knows what kind of shit they do out in their crowds

but to potentially hopefully eliminate to liability of is somebody getting involved or more likely at this point since they have no heat and everybody's laughing at them them accidentally back in somebody

knocking granny's dentures out they've got to have that guy but here's another idea don't do all this shit every fucking show every segment there was one match they never got in the ring

we're going to get to it in a second but that so they're gone we'll be back in the arena more here coming up but Juice tagged white and he made a

come back on Page by trading forearms and chops. And Jay White punched Adam Page six times in the head and went to shoot him off and Adam Page reversed it. What were we just talking about here a little while ago? But the heel didn't take one bump for the baby faces comeback and finally Jay White got a leg drag and took him down that way.

Adam Page is fucking right. he was a better baby face that he is a heel because at least he had a heel to somewhat call a fucking match but either that or he just says fuck Jay White this guy's a jobber he gets the tag he comes in they trade evenly and then Jay White punches him and he adds six times

and he reverses him and never takes one goddamn bump for the guy's comeback so then finally after all the momentum was lost. Old Jay White got a couple of DDTs and tagged Juice in, and then the baby faces beat up the heel, two on one with three or four big moves while the referee stood and gawked at him.

And then Jay White gave a brainbuster to Page and Juice covered him, and the referee dropped down to, instead of tell it, Jay left on his own instead of the referee said, Jay, you've got to get out of here. He just dropped down and count. And it was a two count. So now you have two heel,

two baby faces beating up one heel in front of the fucking referee and they still can't beat him. And then Paige beat up both of the baby faces by himself. And then they got to the spot where Paige and Juice tried to both get on the top rope so they could do the flying wingy dingy

and as it's impossible for both guys to get all their feet on the top rope and hold on to anything but each other which looks so phony to begin with right it's just they're trying to teeter totter up there with this guy that's trying to do them damage oh here let me let me balance up here to help you so you can fling me

off this thing on my head I wouldn't want you to drop me before you kill me and Ju slips off but not all the way he just his feet slipped so he climbed back up into Paige's arms so Paige could give him

the fucking SOS sack of shit slam off the top rope to count and then they did a back and forth with all four of them while the referee whoever he may be who stood there and stared some more and then Juice had Cage beat, but Nick's mom drew the referee

so that Pip Sabian could hit Juice in the head with the contract case apparatus and he fell into Page's dead eye, one, two, three. So a bad finish was sloppy execution and they beat the only guy that we really are interested in. What are your thoughts in this fiasco? You know, I think there's the problem with AEW. here you have two of the, I guess you could say the top heels in the company, Adam Page and Christian Cage. Not all the wrestlers names rhyme, folks.

But you have Adam Page and Christian Cage. Then you have Jay White has been pushed to that level and it really hasn't worked. And Juice Robinson, who, it's that thing where we could say how much we like him over and over again. After a while, they keep booking him like this and beating him. He's the job guy on the team. You know, after a while, you don't want to see him. anymore.

If that's the way they're going to book them. Well, book him, Dan, oh. They're booking him out of the reasons people like him. Yes, exactly. We can't have anybody actually appealing to the audience. Let's, if I can confuse that issue. But, Brian, that was just a prelude to the more insanity that's going to come a lot. We have come now to the time in our program where Tony Kahn needs to hire a

construction company. Because the people he's got doing his handy, I can loan him the Monroe's. I'm laying him off early this year because of the impending downturn in the United States and eventually the global economy, so I'm cutting elective spending. I could give Tony the Monroe's. If he can't find competent construction professionals, did you see the fake wall? I did, but for AEW standards, this was a good. fake wall. We've seen really, really bad ones. I think this was maybe the best of the

two, three, four. How many times does this happen? Well, well, I'm, but I see every time they keep trying to follow my suggestions on how to make it not look so fucking phony, but they still, they're, I'm going to have to give them some more because they've, once again, they've dropped the ball here. And, well, first off, by the way, let the people know, Renee Moxley-Good was in the back with Mercedes, Mone, and Camille. And now, Camille's Christmas goose has been cooked before Thanksgiving. She is dead in the water, as the boys used to say. Because they've completely fucked it up now.

Now, Camille has her arm in a sling, but she's still carrying Mercedes's shit, and Mercedes is barking orders at her, and, oh, you dumb shit. And so the whole cool bodyguard thing is dead, the whole fucking. and striking giant athletic woman is now reduced to being a fucking stooge and the only way they were ever going to get any value

whatsoever out of this untalented shell of a human being Mercedes-Mone was to have some of this dichotomy with Camille and get her over and they've killed it and

Mercedes sent Camille into the locker room Yeah, you get on in there and clean my toilet or whatever, I don't know. And then she droned on doing a promo about Chris Stantlander until Stantlander shows up behind her in the hallway. And as Mercedes turns around, she starts yelling for Camille. And Camille comes out and Stalander just runs Camille into the fucking wall without even stopping walking. Just grabbed her a bump and down goes Camille and she's still moving. And she gets a fight with Mercedes.

And Camille tries to get back in and help Mercedes, and Stalander tackles Mercedes and Camille through another fake wall. And they tried this time, they shot it tighter, so you couldn't see off the edges, and there was nobody jumping out of the fake room behind it this time, like there was last time. But Brian, for one thing, there was four feet between the studs,

and I've done a lot of remodeling projects over the last few years. 18 inches is the law. You got to have a stud every 18 inches. Or in Mercedes case, possibly more often. We don't know, but at least every 18 inches. And they just went through a sheet of drywall that was four feet fucking.

They walled off a hallway. and they shot it tight. But then when they went through the drywall, Brian, how many rooms do you know that only have a wall on one side? Not too many rooms. Because they only went through one sheet of drywall. And you saw the two befores that they put up and they went through, or didn't go through, they went past.

But there was no drywall on the other side. And it opened up into a room that apparently was four feet wide and eight feet wide. feet long with no furniture in it and a real door on the other end. They just walled up the L curve in a goddamn hallway. Just so they could go through the... What is their fascination with people going through walls? So that was the wall.

Just another brick in the wall. Just another prick in the wall. So when I told you off air before that the show's becoming utterly fascinating, this is a great example of it because it kind of feels like a little bit of WCW at the end a little bit of TNA at all sorts of points but it has a certain feeling and then everything is wrong

just everything here's an example we've talked about before Diesel Sid Vicious in your case Hercules Hernandez and Big Bubba Rogers Killer Kyle too I guess technically technically. You know, we've seen the big bodyguard.

We've never seen the Clutz big bodyguard until Camille. That's when I decided to have the Clutz bodyguard character. How many times have we seen Camille grab her arm and yell ow in the last few weeks? About as many times I've grabbed my head and said, ow. And how many weeks of TV did they not, did they just do all these things like in the back one day? or is this something they're doing on the road these segments? I don't know. I expect them next week they'll be putting itching powder in Camille's fucking trunks

and, you know, she'll be... It's fascinating. You watch it unfold and you're like, where? Where is this going up? It went right there. It's going to be so, and it's gone. So, but I got to get to the next one. I got to get it.

because this was Tony Chivani calls out. Well, doesn't call out. He didn't want to fight. Tony's past the point of fighting, but he introduces to speak to the world, Will Osprey. And, boy, remember when the people were going bat shit? And even a few weeks ago in certain places.

And a couple months ago, especially, in Osprey, Osprey. And he came out and they were like, yeah, he's here. he started talking and the crowd didn't care. They started chanting where they were saying, O'le, O'le, O'le, O'le, O'le. And yes, that's the, we know that's the chant from across the pond and it pertains to him, but he was speaking at the time about something that he wanted them to listen to and they just went into business for themselves.

This wasn't on cue. This wasn't at the spot they're trying to incite it at. just, yeah, because he, and he wouldn't shut up and milk it, he just kept going. And he kicked Tony out of the ring, and he called out Kyle Feltcher so they could have a talk, their old friends. And they play the music, and now out comes Kyle, and now he's dressed all in black, and he's got more tattoos on his art. Remember his last new look lasted like six weeks with the boy band blonde hair, and all the colors.

And now he looks like a fucking... Randy Orton. He looks like a bootleg Randy Orton now. I don't know. I was thinking teenage skinhead

from Sydney. But, you know... Hey, where can I rent that film? He'll steal it. He'll steal all the material. And Kyle talked his way down the aisle. And as he was getting in the ring

and the people were booing, but I don't know whether there was the dog. Dominic Mysterio booing, or just booing for real, like, oh, Christ, he's going to talk. But then they couldn't even be serious at the start. When he gets in the ring, Osprey says, well, before, you know, we do anything, I've been in Don Callis's meetings, and I want you to drop whatever's in your back pocket. And Cal pulls a screwdriver out, a neon yellow screwdriver,

and dispenses with it. Godd is anybody ever going to actually stab somebody with that fucking thing? Well, it did land in a way that I've never seen anyone. It was like a perfect landing. It stuck right into the ground. Well, yeah, when Osprey flung it down, it stuck into the mat. But again, that illustrates that every time they hit somebody with it, they hit them with the handle.

Anyhow, they had a good long talk. did Kyle and Osprey about how they lived together and were great friends and partners and Osprey helped Kyle come there and everything was great but now with what's going on here Kyle you know where where I live you know where I work out you've been to my son's school and it scares the crap out of me and my wife he's trying to make this fucking teenage twink sound like Max Cady. And what the I'm scared, bro. I'm scared, you know

where the school is. How is it escalated to that point that he thinks this guy is going to kidnap his child? Hey, who's that new handyman at the school? The guy with the screwdriver. Oh, no! Oh, it's a Phillips head. And then Kyle tells Osprey, I know you're never going to believe this, Brian, but he said, you didn't do all that for me.

You did it for yourself because you were jealous and selfish and you wanted to keep me down. Has that not been the bone of contention of every former friend in AEW land? It's like the AEW form of hazing. It's booking hazing for AEW wrestlers. But now here, I'm going to say something good about it. I'm going to say something good about it here. Hold on. Osprey fired up and he cut a promo on Kyle that...

I can't say the promo was good, but he answered him... If this material wasn't shit, his delivery and emotion... might have gotten something over here. But they're still talking about nonsense. Nobody gives a shit, right? And then... But finally, remember I said, somebody needs to produce him for an American audience.

Osprey asked Kyle said, I've done this and I've done that, what have you done? And then he said, sawdall lad and people are like, readip, readip, readie, speak American, mate. What do you think the percentage of the people in Bridgeport, Connecticut that understood

the phrase sawdall lad was? I shan't have a guess you, wanker. I would say five to seven percent of the people in that building. and that's a small number. And by the way, if you want to look up how many people they had in this goddamn airplane hanger

because, boy, and it again was a surly bunch. But so now that they're doing, saw it all lad, you haven't done nothing. That's like you haven't done nothing. So Kyle says, I'm going to surpass your every accomplishment and I want to prove it at full gear.

they're challenging for the match the shows in 10 days from the fucking date of the television program and he challenges Osprey and Osprey agrees since he's Mr. Paperview and then he goes into a story

this is going a while friends he goes into the story that he was watching Kyle shave his head and have a meltdown when he was sitting on the couch holding his son's hand but then he looked down and he realized that he couldn't feel his hand

and he couldn't feel his son holding his hand because he was numb. From the Tiger Driver 91, they've always got to say that as opposed to any other previous year's version, whatever the fuck. And he's going to get back at Kyle for that at full gear because he's taken that away from him

that he can't feel his son's hand or whatever the fuck. But the point is at least he ended it, right? Oh, no. because Kyle couldn't stop. Kyle could, he had to answer that back, sounding like a pissed off Roddy McDowell. Every bit is physically intimidating too. Cornelius.

And he killed the oomph that Osprey had by making his own statement. And then, and if they've already prefaced this, they didn't trust that either one of them was coming alone. They said, well, I've got friends. Well, I've got friends too. so then Brian Cage and Lance Archer pop in

but Osprey's not worried because I've got friends to it here comes Powerhouse Hobbs and Mark Davis how did Hobbs get stuck with this first he comes back last week and doesn't even get the attention put on him he's just an afterthought and now what and Mark Davis could he look any more like

you know, Dan Tucker just fucking just a regular fucking sod lad and he's a sad lad I'll tell you that and they got in a big six way but Davis wouldn't hit Felcher

and then seriously folks this is we're not talking about and then after commercial break this is all happening just on and on What a description? This is all happening. This is all happening just one thing after another.

All six of these guys fought off and left the arena in seconds, except for Lance Archer, who for some reason didn't feel motivated to leave the ring until they started playing Roderick Strong's music. And then Archer goes to the entranceway, so he's going to cut Roderick Strong off when he comes out because now they're supposed to have a falls count anywhere match.

Do you want to make any comments on, because this, again, we haven't gone to commercial, but this is going to take a dramatic right turn. Do you have any comments on Osprey and Feltcher and their efforts here? Let me just say this isn't the first time in recent weeks at AEW. It's just gone from like one of these big angles

into the next match, like as everything's happening. So this is like a new thing for them. I thought there were points of Fletcher and Osprey. where they were actually good. And you had to deal a lot, you had to deal with a lot with that crowd because they didn't give a shit. And, you know,

I would almost rather them cat-call the wrestlers than just sit there silently, like they're watching a play. And there were moments it was good, but it went way too long. To the point where you're like, why are you two still talking? And again, this guy almost killed him, you know?

He almost killed me. Come out, talk to me. What? Yeah. Let's sit down and go over this point by point. I know you have a screwdriver, take it out. Well, is that a screwdriver in your pocket or did you come to talk to me? And also, you mentioned cat calling, we'll get there. We will get there.

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Kool-Aid. My kind of cats. But first, we've got Lance Archer standing at the entryway waiting on Roderick Strong. When Roddy comes out of the tunnel on the other side and wax him in the back with a kendo, stick. And as he did, he waxed him in the back and he slipped on that ramp surface and fell down and then starts after him with the fucking stick. And the corpse referee is out there. So we know

it's going to be, this is going to be all the way garbage wrestling. And again, they've been, the other segment they've all fought off and they talked us to death. So now they figure, well, we'll give them action. So the action, so the action, they give us is they fight back through the other entrance tunnel into the backstage what one would think is the gorilla area except gorilla's not even there it was just the backstage area it was pitch black there were no lights on and they were taking bumps but you couldn't see anything and sock face was calling oh my god a choke slam on the table because he was in the meeting.

So he was having, for the viewers who can't see the blind viewers, I'm going to narrate for you what's happening. How was he able to see it on his monitor? So finally, after they've done a choke slam and something else, and you can see a little light coming through the curtain, so by the way, they've smartened people up that their two entrance tunnels completely meet 10 feet apart in the back. but finally somebody

turns like one you know like one of those park hand TV lights or a handheld spotlight on or something so you can see part of this and the crowd in the arena which is just on the other side of the curtain

and you know they're watching this on the screen deathly silent they're like what the fuck and then they went to a commercial break and in picture and picture now because there's no you know with the commercial break with the picture and you've got the audio of the commercial

so all you see is the picture of what's going on in the arena and they they fought into the arena and I say fought they made some half-hearted attempts at fighting in between staggering around to move from place to place right

and they got a few two counts on the concrete and every time you would see the camera the fans behind them are laughing at them. And they're holding their phones up, either taking a picture or shooting video or pointing to the person next to them, go, look at these goofballs.

Nobody's even worried about catching a stray back swing. They must think, well, this shit's so phony, I can't possibly be heard. And then when they come back from the break to the full screen and normal audio, the building is deathly quiet Lance Archer is up in the camera screaming

trying to steal a promo and behind him nothing nothing and that's why right can't they all see that they've done this over and over and nobody cares it's not new anymore there's a reason why indie wrestling

got over with indie crowds because it wasn't on television and you saw it twice a year. Am I lying? Well, I think the modern indie fan may go more than two times a year, but there's a difference between the stuff that gets over with big audiences and the stuff that is micro-booked to a micro-audience. Ring of Viner ran Chicago three times a year if they were lucky.

And New York got four. Everything else got fucking two. You know, any kind of indie promotion with a budget, they're not running a market more than a few times a year. What, two, three, four, five, six, maybe. Unless they're drawing a crowd of 150 people, in which case you're not really fighting in a crowd, are you? But it's nonstop.

So then suddenly in the middle of this... It's nonstop with people that aren't in a position where you want to see them. Like, Randy Orton and Kevin Owens, to use a modern example, like as of this, moment. If there was a Falls Count Anywhere match, you could understand it because of look at what's happening in this thing. Yes. Or Bronson Reed and Seth Rollins. Bronson Reed and Seth Rollins. Have we seen a single match between Lance Archer and Roddy Strong ever? So the first time we see

them, I guess it's because it's the only way it's believable that Roddy would be able to beat Lance Archer. Well, but think about this also. You don't see Falls Count Anywhere matches in the WWE or just constant fighting through the arena in the WWE. They don't want to get sued. And so if it does happen, it stands out. Oh shit.

You know, we don't see this. They must be mad. Whatever. This is just, you can't remember all the people that have done this. And then, so they're supposed to be having a match, even if it's falls count anywhere and suddenly Brian Cage comes out and just starts beating a shit. out of Roddy. And then Taven and Bennett come out and start beating a shit out of Archer and Cage.

And again, they were fighting three feet in front of fans who were laughing at him and taking pictures and nobody's scared or backing up, like, give him some room. And then Archer grabs Taven and Archer, because he's got great balance for a big guy. So he steps up on one of the railings, one of the barricades around the floor area. It's like, what, six inches wide, maybe. But he pulls Taven up and Taven steps up with him and stands there motionless, not trying to get away or to foil the attempts

that this madman archer is making to do harm to him. And finally, 14 seconds, I counted. And Archer chokeslams him onto a bunch of security guards who just ran up there and then we're never seen again. And then Roddy is fighting Archer again. Now they're back to a match and Roddy jumps off the rail with a knee lift

and covers him on the floor, one, two, three. So now Roddy got his three wins so he's going into the match at full gear with MJF and you would think Adam Cole who has his third match later on. So now they're going to make it a three-way where they were saying, well, what the fuck? And they inserted at that point,

they inserted, you know, we've been seeing MJF watching, allegedly watching a TV monitor from some mansion in Scarsdale somewhere, right? And sipping a glass of wine and reacting to what's going, well, they... Scarsdale. Wherever it may be.

We don't know where... It would be on Long Island, I would have to. Yes, it's MJF. His whole thing is... Well, I don't know where that's, well, I know that Scarsdale... The Gold Coast. Scarsdale is where the polo ponies roam free, according to Hayman. But anyway, they insert like a three-second long shot of MJF sitting there in his mansion watching and smiling enigmatically.

And it's so obviously doesn't fit the... It looks like Bella Lagosie's scenes in Plan 9 from outer space. Doesn't have any goddamn relation. That's exactly what it is. So, and then Roddy gets on the microphone. It's not over, folks. Roddy gets on the microphone and goes, Max, Max, at full gear, this all ends,

and I'm going to finish your ass. And he throws the microphone down, and when he does, there's take a shit from behind and just gloms Roddy and knocks a bejesus out of him. And he gets on Roddy, and starts hammering him. But Adam Cole's music plays. And Adam Cole comes out and takes his jacket off

and starts walking to the ring. I'm like, motherfucker, I hope nobody comes to save me like that. But when Adam Cole slides in, the referee already had Roddy on the floor. And now Adam Cole and take a shit. Started trading forearms. And another referee slid in and called for the bell to start another.

match. Jesus Christ, it won't end. It will not end. They're not giving anybody a chance to think about anything. Who said I know how we'll stop the viewers from leaving? We'll have nothing end. It's like a Monty Python thing, or it's Mr. show, I guess, a better example.

One thing goes right into the next. Well, and they went right into the next thing. Punches and forearms that looked like shit, and nobody sold any of them. And then for whatever reason, old take just staggered backwards to the rope and stood there, holding on the top rope, waiting about five seconds for Adam Cole to close line him over backwards. And they're still playing Adam's music as this fight is going on.

And so as Take a Shed has taken the bump, Adam Cole gets to do his boom thing and then his circle and Babeay. And then they resume the match. And I think we're only 45 minutes into this show. and this thing, it's like, my God. And then their break spot was take, just knocking Cole

senseless with a big punch and standing on his face with one foot. They went to the break, but when they came back, Adam Cole was in control. And they fucked up a blue thunder bomb and the pace slowed down and the people are just dead

and lot of fake forearms from Adam Cole, which to be to his credit take didn't sell but but he would throw one at Adam Cole and it'd knock him down and out and groveling I've never seen such goddamn ineffective baby faces and again but then you can't Adam Cole he can he can be knocked down with one half-hearted forearm but then take a shit. foils the Panama Sunrise, hits some kind of reverse styles clash thing, and a

wheelbarrow suplex and a clothesline, and gets a two count on him. But then he's killing Adam, he's just beating a shit out of Adam Cole until finally Cole hits the super kick and the Panama sunrise

and take rolls out to the floor and reaches under the ring and pulls the diamond ring out from under the apron of the ring. wouldn't you think that he might have thought an easier place to put a goddamn ring is in your trunks? How did he know he was going to get the opportunity to go under the anyway?

So this is where they do another one of these finishes that just buries everybody involved. Adam Cole sees take a shit there on the floor right next to the ring he's going to walk past the referee to get to him when he walks past the referee he slightly shoves the ref

and the referee walks all the way across the ring in the other direction and does double and triple takes back and forth obviously not looking behind him until take a shit nails Adam Cole with the ring and rolls in and covers him

one two three so now it's not Roddy and Adam Cole versus MJF it's Roderick Strong versus MJF, which again, the fans actually got more behind Roddy in this earlier than they did, Adam Cole here. Yeah, they weren't behind Adam Cole at all.

No, the whole thing is uninteresting and death warmed over. But just, if JF is going to be on a paper view and he's wrestling Roderick Strong the way that he has been presented in this sense. Well, the other thing is, one of the few things I think right now would cause the AW fans to revolt would be the idea of Takeshita taking a pin from Adam Cole. Because everyone sees what everyone sees. Then don't book the match. I completely agree. Don't book this feud. Let's go a step further.

It's that MJF's coming back from apparently making an Adam Sandler film, so there'll be some money behind that thing, to wrestle Roddy Strong? I'm sure it'll be a great match. But MJF better not do a job to Roddy Strong, and then if Roddy Strong is just going to be wrestling a great match with someone he's going to lose to, and it's apparent that's what it is, I don't know.

Well, but it's not over. It ain't over, Brian. This is still going on. Because now that they've established that it's Roddy versus MJF, they get a shot of MJF back at the mansion, and he's laughing. And then Roderick Strong attacks

take a shit and starts wailing on him and take turns out of him, and Take turns around and kicks him right in the balls. And down he goes. And then Take puts the ring back on and goes to hit Roddy, but here comes Kyle O'Reilly

and chases him out with a chair. And Take goes to the entranceway where he can be safe, except here comes Ricochet. What is happening? Ricochet super kicks Take and Take goes ass over T-Cept. and jumps up and runs off and leaves his belt behind.

What is his title again? Is that the continental classic? That's a good question. Or the North American or the... Is it the international? International. Whatever belt he's got, he left it and Rickashay picked it up and started to hold it up,

but they cut the camera back to the ring where Kyle was helping Roddy up and dusted him off, but Adam Cole offered to shake hands with Kyle O'Rour. And Kyle wouldn't take it and left the ring. And he announced they're going, look at these three back in the ring. You know what this means? Yeah, it means what you kind of should have done at the start.

It's too late now. And that was, again, another, how many people were involved in that? Depends on when you want to say the start was. You tell them, is the start of that whole thing, the Osprey promo? I did. That was the start of it, wasn't it? It was the Osprey promo with Fletcher into the run. Roddy Strong versus Lance Archer match,

which went right into Adam Colver Stakesha. It's Mr. Show with Bob and David. One thing right into the next. Well, it was 9 o'clock on the East Coast. All of that had happened in the first hour. So they've apparently never heard of the old saying, less is more.

And by the way, all throughout the night, they're advertising, or advertising, they're mentioning, you know, Mox takes over, Superstation TBS. Yes. Which sounds like a real bad takeover if everyone knows about it and they're advertising it in an event.

It was like, the NWO's taking over tonight. Intelligence ferreted out the information. But speaking of the takeover, by the way, Les is more, and you, you've heard that old saying. Here lies Lester Moore, shot in the chest by a 44, no less, no more. I have not heard that, no.

Well, in the back at 9 o'clock, Renee Moxley Good was talking to the Hurt Syndicate and the MVP said, where did you get your journalism degree? And then he put Bobby Lashley over and interviewed him by himself and et cetera. It's the only thing you can pretty much count on, their segment. And they're kind of mocking the amateur cast of community theater participants they're being surrounded with. but anyway then they go to the entranceway dangerous place to be here tonight and suddenly a fat gray-haired job guy it looked like he was 50 years old he looked like john hitchcock ran parts unknown

the comic store in greensboro he still runs it well he doesn't look that way anymore no john's five or ten years older than this guy now well maybe a few years more than that this guy's a wrestler didn't he wasn't very active here he was just getting a shit kicked out. They threw him out the tunnel, and here comes Claudio and Wheeler Useless, and they're beating him with a chair.

And then the music starts for the death riders. And the music is playing in the arena, but the entrance video is on the screen, and two members are beating up a job guy for no reason with a chair on the entranceway when the camera cuts to the curtain at one of the breezeways and you can see around the curtain

where Marina Schaefer's elbow they're just standing there waiting for the queue stock still and suddenly the queue comes and here comes the plumber out of the curtain and Schaefer behind him and every single one of them are dressed like they're ready to go out and do yard work

and as they come to the ring and they get in the ring the fans are sitting there talking to each other the people next to them and it doesn't get any better because even if anybody was going to buy this Moxley promo business he's talking about Orange Cassidy and somebody again needs to give them the the brutal but fair tough love talking to

that just because Tony's fascinated with this clown doesn't mean that anybody wants to see him in meaningful main event shit especially after all this time we've seen what there is to see but Moxley is cutting a promo on him as it's like anybody would care and he's going to make an example of Orange Cassidy

he's going to brutalize him and mutilate him and the fans are basically groaning when he says that and then the guy the room is so quiet it's like I don't know it's like maybe It's a FFA convention, the future farmers of America for you people up in New Jersey. And there's a speaker that they're not particularly interested in,

so they're kind of murmuring to each other slowly, but they're lowly rather, but they're not making any noise that they can make on purpose. And suddenly one guy yells, go back to Roman. And you get it, it was like, out of boy, Luther. it was like it was put into the goddamn soundtrack on purpose. It was perfect. I couldn't. And then so they're cat calling the baddest man on the planet.

And then Pockets his music plays. And here he comes. And he comes out to the entranceway, the company mascot, followed by poor Mark Briscoe and Rocky Ramon. uh or rocky no rocky romero i'm sorry don't disparage rocky romano like well no they're so close and and then rocky raccoon was out in the car with the motor running and i swear to god they are now letting the fucking mascot talk and he cut one of the most lackluster promos ever in the wrestling business the delivery it's the delivery hey hey uh hey jim yeah it's uh good to see you here and I guess we're going to wrestle. I guess there'll be a match. I guess so.

Yeah. What is that? He sounded like Ned Nebbish at a fantasy camp for wrestling. It's one of the fans, gets to come out on the set and cut a wrestling promo, but this guy is some kind of fucking CPA that's, you know, only had sex with his right hand, and he just doesn't have any personality. That's his personality. That's his gimmick that he's chosen for himself. Can you imagine what it would be like to try to talk to this motherfucker in person if that's the way he acts on television?

Well, do remember. And never forget. Never forget. At one point when there was some communication between, at one point word got back to us that Tony Kahn wanted it to be known to you that if you would just talk to Jim, you would love him. Not you being Jim, but him being Jim, Orange Cassidy. If you would just talk to him, you would love him.

Yeah. Hey, I understand you have a collection stuff. Oh, yeah, wow. If they would put him somewhere where he can only communicate via phone and not be on television that I might like him better. But anyway, so he answers Moxley that he's going to stand up for all that's right in the world. and also challenged useless for next week on TV and made some chess references.

And Moxley answered him by saying on November 23rd, Abandon All Hope. Like this guy is goddamn, you know, Mephistopheles himself. Queen takes battleship. And then they played music and they left. And I was like, wait a minute, that was taken over TBS.

it's a live in-ring promo when they beat up a gray-haired fat job guy. But then... I remember what Gene O'Kerland used to take over TBS like this. Yes, and you had to call the hotline to find out why. But then as the heels are leaving, Darby Allen appears on the top of the bleachers over the breezeway and dives off onto the heels

and everybody gets in a fight and Moxley runs off. And then the camera goes to the back of the building and Moxley and Marina Schaefer get in the truck. But neither one of them apparently thought to get in the driver's seat. Claudio has to drive. So Claudio jumps in and they're pulling out without a wheeler. But then Darby comes running from the side as the truck is moving and dives into the back

of the pickup truck. So Claudio stops it and gets out and they get in a fight and Claudio big swings Darby into a garage door and jumps. back in the truck and then Wheeler runs and jumps into the truck just in time and the heels pulled out. Jesus Christ! What in the...

They think somehow that somebody somewhere is going to be interested in what happens between Plummer Moxley and Pockets. And the only people that even know the one guy exists on the planet are already watching this show and they're going to be the last ones to leave. Because if you're a fan of Orange Cassidy, A, your standards are very low and B, you're one of the diehard, indie rific wrestling fans that are going to watch an outlaw mud show above

anything else till the bitter end. And that's what the end of this show will be is bitter. Brian, your comments on this unfolding situation. This was the big thing. It was like a classic. MSG show, the main event right in the middle of the show. Mox takes over TBS. If you tuned in to see that, the way it was Bill, you're disappointed. If you tuned in to hear

Moxley finally explain anything, you were disappointed. No PAC. Did he go home again? I don't know where PAC was. Maybe he missed the truck on the way down, like Wheeler missed it on the way back. I guess, or maybe he was driving.

That's a great way to write off someone who's not there that week. Oh, he's behind the wheel. No, I was Claudio, because Claudio had to stop the truck to get out to fight the fucking rat, chase the cat. This whole thing is fucking awful. It's death. That's why the death riders, it's death. We're going to ride death straight to death.

You know what? They misspelled it. It's death writers. Is that what it is? They are riding the death of the, they better be glad they got some guaranteed money. You know what their TV show has become the world's biggest budgeted fair show? When you sold a fucking fair show

to the county fair board, you guaranteed the money you knew exactly how much you were going to get and you could just go and have fun and jack off and didn't have to try to sell any tickets. It was all up to them. This is going to really be big when Omega and the Bucks returned to save AEW from Moxley and the crew that isn't over.

We heard from people there. It was flat. That was the word use, flat. The crowd didn't give a shit. I don't know if it was this match or match. This segment or somewhere else, but the fans were chanting OTC during this show. You asked about the attendance earlier.

Yes, I did, didn't I? As of the morning of the show, Wednesday, November 13th, according to Russell Ticks, 2,643 tickets distributed, their last time in the market, November 16, 2022 for dynamite, 3,141. At that time, we're distributed. Well, and again, that's distributed. And I'm starting to wonder, because a lot of these people aren't reacting in some of these locations, like they've got a lot of skin in the game.

I'd like to know at some point what they're actually selling to people that are coming intentionally to try to have a good time. and the people that are coming to do whatever they're coming to do. And maybe just get some rest, get a good night's sleep since it's so quiet in the building. Well, that's right. And, of course, this was only about halfway or a little more than halfway through dynamite. But for a lot of people, in certain parts of the country and the world, it was time for sleep. And you need a good mattress for a good night's sleep.

Boy, I'll tell you what, with this television program, sometimes you just want to go and hide under the bed. but neither way either way or neither one either one or neither I don't know actually what point you're making yes I'll tell you what whether you want to hide under the bed or get a good night's sleep the best way to do it is with our friends at Helix sleep and I'm going to tell you something right now Brian

slash JCP Well, there's a dot-com in the middle there, but I guess that goes without saying. All right, we continue on with this fun dynamite review. Of course, that was the main part of the show, but it's both uphill and downhill from here. Well, that wasn't even the main part of the show. We've still got some big stuff to go now, because they're still going to break some more rules. We had an intermission. Britt Baker wrestled Penelope Pitstop.

Remember when Britt Baker was all. over. You could hear a mouse pissing on cotton during this match, and it was 10 minutes long bell to bell. And then nobody got beat up afterwards, but when Britt Baker won, then

Serena Deeb came out carrying her flag to the entranceway, and they stared at each other. So there was some involvement here. And where did Deanna Parazo go? She was drinking wine in some segment the last time I saw her. Serena got a flag. She was, but Deanna

Parrazo was everywhere and I just remembered she suddenly disappeared and Serena has been gone but now she's back but anyway. But again, to my steady criticism of the women's division that I think people need to look past that they don't want to hear it and pay attention,

no one gets better working under these kind of conditions. These women are not going to get better at doing this. wrestling in front of a crowd that acts like they don't want to see the match. They would rather see their mother hooked up to a machine. They don't react.

That's a negative audience reaction. If you're the bathroom break match every time, if you're the cause of the ratings going down every time, if people don't react at all. I mean, it's frighteningly silent. And then you talk to people there and they're like, oh, yeah, it was really awkward. There's a problem.

There's a problem. Women's wrestling has a place, but just jamming it into these shows where no one's over already is not helping anything. Because it's not like Brick Baker's fucking Charlotte Flair or even Mercedes-Money, like she doesn't have like a track record

of being able to work matches in the ring. Like she's had a few matches like, you know, the wild brawls that people kind of liked. But she also got hurt a lot. She doesn't seem to know a lot of the basics. She needs work, too, but they just throw everyone out there for 10 minutes. In front of a crowd that doesn't give a shit. But that wasn't the women's segment that made more people comment or interact or whatever on the social interwebs.

It was the interview that followed this presentation with, again, the only interviewer, apparently they have now, Rene Moxley Good who at some point anybody could just come up to her and say what the fuck is your husband talking about Hey Tony fire her this guy's so out of control

why are you rewarding him by hiring his wife fire her let's even the playing field a little bit but maybe he's told Tony hey I gotta get away from this lunatic please let me keep my job I don't have any control over him I don't know what he's fucking talking about

just let me keep my check so I can get a little apartment over in Newport but anyway Renee was in the back with old Mitsu Erikawa who was dressed in a oh thank God you saw this segment well yes yes I had to I was gonna fast forward it but when I saw some of what was fast forwarding I had to back it up and see how they got to that point Mina Shirakawa she deserves to have her name said

Oh, this microphone just fell down. Maybe Shirokawa. She deserves it. Say her name. Apparently your boom is drooping over there. It's a new mic. She's wearing a tight top that accentuates her bosom. You got the cleavage out there, and she does a promo that I couldn't understand.

And then Harley Cameron popped in and grabbed me. Mitsu Eriawa's champagne glass and drank her champagne and then apparently choked on it. I don't fucking know what. She put the glass in her mouth and took the big swing. She put the whole glass in her mouth. Yes. Well, some people can put five ping pong balls in their mouth.

But she put the whole glass in and turned it back and choked herself. Anyway, then she spoke and she is, she's not acting like Tony Storm now. it's even farther over the top than that. It's like she was doing Agnes Moorhead in a stage play. Well, she was never acting like Tony Storm. Well, it's the overacting. She's acting on you and all the excentuation and the... Well, no, clearly Harley Cameron wants to be a comedic performer.

Well, whatever, she's never done that before, but suddenly she's doing that. And she wants to fight... Mitsu on collision tit for tit rack them up and may the breast woman win and then they boast

Now for the record that was there that was what they said not what you said That's a quote She said I want to fight you on collision tit for tit rack them up and may the breast woman win and then they're standing on either side of

Renee and they both start shaking their tits from side to side in their cleavage revealing apparel in a dueling tit-shaking frenzy. Which Mina won, because Mina's are natural, so they have a natural swing. Oh, good Lord. So I give the title to Mina. New world champion.

What does this have to do with the goddamn wrestling show? And if they're going to do that, we can watch Showtime, and they don't have to have a top on. Wouldn't that be more entertaining? I was watching this live and I couldn't, you know, it's one of those things. Again, I'm fascinated. I can't look away, but I could recognize, you know, just like Gene O'Kerlin talking to

like Chuck Palumbo or something. Like, this is not like, this is WCW at the end kind of stuff. But when they both started shaking their tits to the camera and they call them tits, so I'm going to call them tits. Yes. Was tits not or tit or tits? I don't know if it's plural, not one of the seven. seven deadly words.

So the seven words you can't say on television, you can say it now, apparently. Well, again, they start shaking their tits to the camera, and it goes on for a little while. Like, there's like a, Renee stops talking, so then it's just shaking. Both women, like, competing against each other, shaking for the camera.

This is what AEW has become. Is this the progressive... Hey, it's honest. It's honest. It's the most honest. women's stuff in wrestling right now if you want to be fair about it what happened to the women's equality and the women's revolution and mercedes moan helped propel the women to it so now she could work for the company where they have tit shaked titty shaking contest going on and and if somebody

said on twitter if the w w e had done that these people be all over them and and again rightfully so because it's i don't care if it's demeaning to women it's stupid to wrestling but they did it What? So you want to go on to the next match? I do, but I'm curious to see what happens with that match. Did it happen? I don't even know. Did it happen yet?

Where does it happen? It's on collision. Oh, boy. Great. They haven't collided yet. Apparently, is collision going to become the Titty Show where they have the Titty face? Hey, listen, you want the ratings to go up?

Be honest about it and make it the Titty Show. And then what about when the one? girl comes out and she's president of the Itty Bitty Titty Committee, does she get sympathy because the other girl can easily bounce her around with her pneumatic protuberances? See, now you've taken it a step too far. This is why you can't be a part of the writing team over at Big Titty Wrestling.

Well, I'll tell you what, there's a lot of, there's over a million stories in the Big Titty, and this is just one of them. Well, let's get from Titsomania back to A.W. Dynamite. Do you like boobs a lot, boobs, like, boobs, like? So swerve Strickland with his I would say manager, even friend

but now I'm not sure the way they presented him here, Prince Nana, against Leo Rush. Can I say something? Please do. This was a star-making performance for Leo Rush. I watched this and I'm like,

Leo Rush is fucking amazing. This swerve guy sucks. Leo Rush rules. What a performance. This match was the best match on the show which makes it the worst match on the show because it killed off swerp fucking Strickland

he is they are just they're wiping their feet on him and Nana and for one Leo Rush a baby face two weeks ago we saw him do something sometime I want to say yeah I don't remember what he did but I think he was a baby face. I think you're right. Did he wrestle Shelton? That's right. That's what it was. Yes. And we said this was an exemplary match because Shelton gave him a few openings because he's a quick little thing. He's not quick. He's sudden, as Gordon Soli would say. And then he manhandled him because

he's twice his size and he beat him convincingly. And it was a great piece of business. That's right. Now Leo got his heat back against Swar's Strickland. Well, I was about it. So two weeks ago, Leo was a baby face. And now he comes out and he's a fucking healing and swerve who is going to be wrestling Bobby Lashley on pay-per-view coming up in 10 days. And he's going to have a warm-up match on TV against a guy that would need a stepstool to clear a speed bump.

And Leo Rush kicked the shit out of swerve Strickland for a long, long time. they had fake promos on this show fake matches fake walls fake booking swerve couldn't handle leo leo leo like you said it looked like the one they were pushing and the fans got into it yes but we'll never see leo again or if we do is somebody will beat him next week but when lashley gets a hold of a guy who can't beat a sixth grader I fear for Swerve's safety And again the fans were into it

Because it was so preposterous They started wanting Leo To fucking win And finally Swerve gave him Some kind of fucked up move One two three After and that was Everything that he had in him

To beat Leo Rush Is there nobody there to produce this guy I would have fired Swerve strictly for letting Leo Rush do that match. But again, what the fuck will Lashley do to this poor fellow? And in Swerve gets on

the microphone and cuts a promo and called the town of Bridgeport, Connecticut, Stanford, Connecticut. Right here in Stanford, Connecticut. And they let him hear it. The people booed to shit out of him.

and then he called out Bobby Lashley and here comes MVP and Bobby Lashley out in suits and Lashley is a giant he's Andre next to this roster and MVP is trying to ask him if he wants a fight just ask me and he's starting to cut a promo but the fans are still chanting

this is Bridgeport and they're not listening to MVP, did swerve, was he trying to, was he trying to do some kind of inside shoot interview, or did he really believe they were in Stanford, which is 20 or 30 miles at a completely different city? Yeah, is it one of those things where he thinks like Stanford's the big city and they just associate with the bigger city that's nearby? I would think he'd be able to tell when there ain't no goddamn giant sports arena in

Stanford like the one he's in in Bridgeport. Well, they made up for it for the rest of it. that a night they made sure to say Bridgeport over and over and over again. Oh my God. So anyway, the fans aren't listed in the MVP because they're cat calling the baby face for not knowing the name of their fucking town. And I mean, it's a comedy of errors on this show. And then Bobby takes his jacket off and MVP says, well, Bobby's ready to fight, but swerve,

you ought to learn their strength and numbers. And Shelton's in the ring from behind any level swerve. And then again, Nana. had to stand in the corner and do nothing. He's just stood in the turnbuckles, backed up, scared. He's a baby face now. And two weeks ago, or however long ago, you did a promo where he said, I used to be a wrestler.

Yes, well, that don't look fucking particularly accurate either at this point. Because Bobby then is beaten up swerve on the floor, Shelton has just backed Nonna in the corner and Nana's doing that kind of don't hurt me type of thing and Shelton's just standing there. If you're going to be a baby face manager, yes, the idea

is the heel manager is a coward and a chicken shit and can't whip anybody and is physically ineffectual unless he's got a weapon or a club or he's behind the guy or whatever. When you become a baby face

you have to change slightly the psychology in that maybe the heel should say if you punch them or you kick them or they should sell you a little bit more than they would have if you were a heel but you're still not a badass or an ass kicker but you have to try your guys are your friends

and you have as a grown adult man you have to try to do something and fail but at least you tried to stop the abuse of your your guy. And when they're walking through this or they're talking over it or they're in some kind of finish meeting or however they're doing things over there

I can't understand why Nana doesn't bring it up and I can't understand why the producers, if they exist, don't bring it up. Let him try to do something, be wiped out, take a bump and sell it. But then you have made the people feel somewhat sorry for Nana

because at least he tried. Now it looks like Nana is a a coward and doesn't give a shit about swerve enough to even take a swing at a guy that's kicking a shit out of him. And then at one point, they got Bobby back in the ring. Nana started to just get out and leave and leave his guy there and MVP grabbed him and pulled him back in and choked him with the cane

because MVP realizes what it's like to be a manager. And he's trying to help, keep him occupied, give him something. And there are MVP's an exception to the rule. that a former wrestler who becomes a manager doesn't have to be completely physically ineffectual because they've seen

that he can take care of himself and he can do shit but even that when that former wrestler is a heel he is still not able to one-on-one kick the shit out of the baby-face wrestler but he can certainly

use a gimmick on a baby-face manager. There's a pecking organization. There's a pecking order here that makes sense. You don't bury anybody. Or the fans say, well, fuck Nana. He won't even try to help. So then Sheldon and Bobby beat up

swerve and Bobby hurtlocked him and put him out. And while the heel is putting the baby face out with the goddamn hurtlock, the fans are chanting Bridgeport, Bridgeport. And finally, Lashley did grab Nana

and they scheduled him apparently to take a bump, and he ran him through the turnbuckles to the floor, and it was kind of an odd bump. He got hung a little bit on one foot, but it looked awkward, but in a painful way. But in the meantime, they scheduled that the manager bump in this instance

doesn't come last. You do that, and then you put the main event for, ex-world champion baby face out with the fuck of your finish hold and that's the point you leave with it just everything's backwards and upside down and and they're cheering the heels and booing the baby faces and chanting the name of their town while the baby face is getting you know prison sodomized and that was almost and that was almost YouTube of so I commend you for that, sir.

Well, thank you. Leo Rush is a star. I always say he's one of my favorite guys. He shows up and then he disappears like those classic guys when you were a tape trader. Like, oh, any footage I can get to this guy. He's never around too long. That's him.

And he can do promos and he can get heat and he can work an entertaining match that makes sense for a little guy. And Swarbooks like shit again. Yeah. Nana is like a non entity He's like Paul Ellering is a manager He's a nonentant

No Elering took a bump I shouldn't say Yeah Well anyway Yeah I mean the fans still think Bobby Lashley's a star You just got to get more fans

Into these buildings And You know if they If you get people in If you're giving out free tickets To people To sell them on your product And then this is

Overall show wide taping wide, what you give them, don't be surprised by the reaction you're getting. You know, normally these days, with the world the way it is, people come into an arena, they go through a metal detector. Do you think they ought to have somebody checking the AEW crowd for rotten vegetables? We're getting to that point.

Another 20-minute Osprey Fletcher Shakespearean scene. I lived with you. You know when my child goes to school. What? What's he going to do to your kid? You know that... Or the school!

Except for the fact that Osprey mentioned his wife, the same verbiage could have been used through that whole promo for a romantic relationship gone wrong. Well... But anyway, yes... That was dynamite, I was going to say. No, no, it wasn't. We're not done yet.

Oh, really? Because remember the mini-movie? Oh! But Julia Hart! Yeah, I did see that. I was fast-forwarding through a break, and I thought this was a commercial and about halfway through it,

I again recognized it was Julia Hart, so I went back. And they're doing a promo with Jamie Hater and suddenly it cuts off just in mid-sentence and then a video of Julia Hart in bed. Unfortunately, she was dressed, but she wakes up and there's blood on her shirt.

And then the phone rings beside the bed. And she picks it up. That was the front cover of Please Kill Me, the blood over the chest like that. Please kill me. What is that? The book, the famous fantastic oral history of punk. Oh, I thought it was actually just Please Kill Me so I don't have to watch the rest of this TV show.

Oh, no, no, that's different. Well, she sits up in bed and she answers the phone, which is an old-fashioned rotary dial phone, and a voice says, Julia, it's time to come home. and she says, Brody? I guess it's Brody King. But then she sees that the phone court is cut, and there's no way that somebody could have called her,

and she hangs up real scared. Now, this is reminiscent of one of those bad teen horror movies from the late 70s called Don't Answer the Phone, about the babysitters in the house, and the phone calls start coming. Don't Answer the Phone was also known is don't see the movie.

Because it was rotten. Well, she runs into the bathroom and looks in the mirror and screams and talks to herself and a red light comes on from behind her behind a door and she opens

the door and someone hands her her hat and it goes to black. Do all of these eggheads think that they're the next Tarantino and just because they can do all this fucking high-deaf video quality shit with their phone means that it also is content is good too?

What the fuck is this horseshit? I don't like it. I never like it, no matter what company does it, and this specifically is just ridiculous. It's a scene. And every time you think the House of the Black, the House of Black gets passed themselves enough to kind of work. Like they've been on the show

and haven't done anything too spooky. Then this? Then this just happens to be a cameraman, the fearless cameraman, back again. And this... Well, hey, I wouldn't be scared of being in Julia Hearts bedroom while she was asleep in bed in the dark.

If she had blood on her, I might, you know... She had blood over her heart, like someone stabbed her in the chest. What the hell was going on there? Well, I'd be more than happy to suck the poison out. because that was the photo it's a photo of the band the heartbreakers and it was supposed to be that their heart like exploded that was the photo what age group group group what age group i don't know age grief what age group would you have to be to know what you just said because i've

never heard of any of this that book was a was a very good seller i don't think so was a goddamn house of the seven gables at 1872 or whatever but how many who would be the audience that would know this reference, this obscure reference. I think we have a big audience. Or do they want anybody to know it? They want people to think they invented it. Well, no, I don't think they want anyone to recognize the influence of where it came from, but

I'm just bringing it up to you because I'm here to inform you. Because you know. Because I know. And knowing is half the battle. So then, speaking of half the battle, we get Malachi Black and Brody King in a tag team match without Buddy Matthews. They were

referred to as the King of the Black throne. So has the House of Black opened a subsidiary to where they're all in the House of Black but these two are the Kings of the Black throne or are they just changing that whole gimmick?

I think they've done this before when these two team up, that's their name. But they're still members of that. They honor the House of Black with their... Well, they honored us with their presence in the main event against FTR with private parties.

watching in the entranceway. Remember when FTR's entrances brought the house down? People heard the music and they popped and they stood up and they really cheered for these guys because they had great matches with the Briscoe brothers and with gin and juice,

the best tag team match on television of modern times and they just outper, they were with punk, they were outperforming everybody. He had something. And then that got botched, like everything else. And now they wander out.

And the house, the entrance used to bring the house down and this entrance brought the house down. And it had already flatlined to begin with. He used to bring the house down. There used to be a house. Well, yeah, there was something erect for you to. But nevertheless, so the winner of this match

is going to face private party and the outrunners. and some other team that they're going to determine later on in a four-way at the pay-per-view to determine who gets a shot at the Puppet de-T-Pae. So, again, FTR, most talented in-ring wrestlers on the show, they've been booked into oblivion, and they were out there doing arm-drags and having a wrestling match after the fans had seen 17 attempted murders and a couple of episodes of aggravated mayhem.

and then they went to a break. Again, every facet of this program. It just something is off from the fake walls to the booking, to the talent, to the... They went to break at two minutes until 10 o'clock. So when 10 o'clock came in and people theoretically would tune in for the next program and they have an overrun they try to get a bounce off of, the people had tuned in at 10 o'clock saw a commercial with a picture and picture box

of some kind of random wrestling with no audio. They couldn't have gone to break two minutes earlier, one minute earlier? When we go over the ratings, let's see what 10 o'clock did. And then they came back and Malachi black tagged

Brody King, and Brody King made what looked like a comeback. And I'm saying, who are the fucking heels here? And then Brody King is like they cloned every fat tattooed indie guy in the business and he's doing all the same moves and so finally I fast forward at about five minutes because at this I couldn't take it anymore

this whole show finally the finish was FTR Spike Piledrove Malachi Black on the apron of the ring but then Brody King dove through the ropes on both of them he closed line Dax and got a two count close lined him again and got a two-count got a two count. So then he just grabbed him in the sleeper

and choked him out standing up. God damn it. Can the finish just get any worse? And then Malachi Black, the guy that had just been spike pile driven on the apron of the ring, got up and walked into the ring to get his hand raised while the two guys who gave him the pile driver were laying there up flat of their fucking ass.

And then who I thought was the heels pull FTR up to their feet and they all shake hands and that was the end of the process so we saw mayhem and carnage for two hours and ten minutes and then finally at the end of the thing

they just beat these guys as flat as you can beat anybody and then kindly pull them up and shake their hands what I'm over the show Brian wrap it up. Hey, listen, it's a bad show.

And this was quite the choice of finish here. I guess they want to get the Kings of the Black Throne over to that next level, that private party level. I'm not exactly sure. But, yeah, an FTR have lost all their luster. And it was predictable, but it happened. And, you know, the tag team division remains what it has been. But this show continues to travel down some kind of weird pathway

to where everybody just gets to do their own they're all making their own movie in their head. But instead of trying to convince people that they're mad at somebody and they're going to have a fight, they're all actors, they're all cinematographers, they're all directors, they're all performers, and Artis and...

With a friendly finance... Financier... A friendly financier. A friendly financier. A friendly fiancé? Financier? And I mean, it's just... It's Drek.

There's nobody to stop them and say, what the fuck are you people doing over here? And again, all of the... All of the people are... They're all jealous because they're making so much money because Uncle Dave says they're going to make $250 million. I'm not saying they're... they're not getting paid for the show.

I'm saying the show is not any fucking good. And it's going to get worse if they don't do something. Yeah, the last thing you want is the story to become, well, they got all this money for that deal, and the ratings keep going down. There's no audience. McDonald's is worth $40 billion, and they make a fucking fortune.

Go try to eat one of their chicken nuggets. Is it any good? Fuck no. You don't like chicken McNuggets? not anymore i don't all of the fast food places have gone to hell but you finding a good mcdonalds is like trying to find fucking good booking in the middle of a w dynamite they're few and far between these days it depends on your individual franchisee and who they hire as the manager because there's a wide range as a matter of fact do you know where the best wendy's

restaurant in the united states of america used to be located uh somewhere in kentucky let me guess Middlesboro, Kentucky. I never would have guessed. Right on Highway 23 as you're going from Tennessee across the Kentucky state line is on the left-hand side, and I would starve myself until I could get there if I knew I was going past that. It was the best Wendy's, the most efficient drive-through, the hottest food, the most incredible service, everything was perfect.

Middlesbrough and think how many Wendy's I've done. and think how many Wendy's I've been to all across the country. What was it? What was it that, what was the intangible or intangibles that made it? I think that they found a manager there at that location

that decided he was going to be the next Dave Thomas and he just went the extra mile. And they even had, they had, oh, and when Wendy's, this was 1992, three, four, five, that era, when they just had regular plain buns, this place had the big puffy bakery buns that held all of the triple cheese

goodness in even better so you could eat it in the car easier and they were always toasted just right triple cheese extra cheese mayonnaise pickle onion large fry and a big old sprite right there in Middlesboro that would get you on to the how far was that from you

it was to go well I went there a lot because that was the way, that was the route to go to either Pikeville or Paintsville or all of those towns in eastern Kentucky. It was about two hours to get up there, but you were going through there all the time. So you haven't been there in a long time, you don't know if it's still the... Oh, I'm sure it's gone to complete shit now. The pride of the Wendy's chain. Yeah, no, because, well, and unless they've completely flouted all tradition and all instructions from the corporate office and not done these horrible fucking non-smashed burgers now

and changed the pickles and changed everything about and the horrible French fries if they've gone against all of that and just did what they were doing 30 years ago they'd be fine but I'm sure they haven't now you had to get me in a bad mood you know that buddy Matthews looks like Wendy what

no red hair no no no well I guess it's time. We can't delay it any longer. Did anybody watch this off-brand AEW program that was insulting to our eyes and ears that was held on November 13th?

We're going to talk about the ratings, but we mentioned that earlier in the middle of the show, you may have felt the urge to go to bed. It's a long show. It's a long two hours. It's one of those very long two-hour shows. It's long.

You can grow a beard. In the time it takes to watch this thing. Hey, if you went to bed around the 9 o'clock hour, you woke up from your nap around 10, you may say, hey, I need to shave, I need to look fresh for the night. Fresh for the night? Well, you're fresh for the morning and get a jump on it.

Folks, there's never anything wrong with being prepared. Maybe at some point somebody's going to be screaming at you first thing in the morning and roused you out of bed and tell you to get to fucking work and you're not going to have time to shave. So take care of it the night before. But I'll tell you what you can do now that Harry's, holiday season and our friends over at Harry's that we've been talking about so lovingly that produce the fine quality shaving equipment and shaving supplies and shaving experiences

all the way around. They don't just have the trial set on sale at a ridiculously low price now. They have a gift set. And it's for the holidays, but it's for you or anybody that you let's say you're a man. Let's just pretend that, Brian. You're a man. And you want to shave your face. And you don't want to shave your face with one of these cheap plastic disposable things

that the blades pull every whisker out individually to your everlasting dismay and scarf up your face and you get the road rash and you look like you got the heartbreak of psoriasis all over your face. That's using cheap stuff. now cheap and inexpensive are two different things because harry's is inexpensive but it ain't cheap baby because they've got german engineered blades made in harry's own factory he installed it in his basement he's down there every morning they stay sharp longer for a smooth shave every time and the ergonomically designed razor handle that is also weighted so brian you get exercise while you're shaving. Every time you're shaving with that 17-pound weighted razor handle,

you're doing curls. Just make sure that you shave equally with your left arm and your right arm or elsewise you'll look like Quagmire after he discovered internet porn. If you were a man, you'd be working out like a man. Well, you can work out like a man while smelling like a woman. And that's another thing that Harry's has. That was an old commercial for a deodorant. Strong enough for a man, but made for a woman. But Harry's has richly lathering, skin-soffening, body wash,

and scents like redwood, wildlands, and stone, and also old farm field. No, no. Dead goat carcass. No, and why would anyone even want that? No. Well, it comes with the farm. Boy, they've got extra strength,

high-quality, amazing, smelling deodorant that's very inexpensive as well, but basically, if you're a little... a woman that wants to make sure that the man in your life doesn't have all this swamp foliage all over his face where every time he eats chicken noodle soup, there's bits of carrot falling out for three or four days out of his hair strainer. You want to get that shit right down to the bone there and make it nice and slick so he can go boom down there.

Or if you're a man that wants to give a gift. Yeah, what? Keep going. Give a gift for yourself or anyone else. give the gift of a smooth face. Harry's has a holiday... No, keep going, keep going. Well, some people like to have a smooth face on their significant other.

It includes one of the craft handles, the ergonomically designed handle. two extra blades, your choice of foaming shave gel or shave cream, a travel blade cover, and you don't have to gift wrap it because the set comes in a rich, sleek, green gift box

Well, let's get, uh, from the holiday craft to the holiday crap. Let's go to the AEW Dynamite ratings here, Jim. How low can you go? Uh, just because we've been mentioning it lately, although NXT was back on their normal night. NXT on Tuesday, November 12th, 8 to 10 p.m. CW. 631,000 viewers. A.W. Dynamite.

Very comparable to last week. I'm sorry. A.W. Dynamite, Wednesday, November 14th, TBS, 8 to 1009 p.m. On average, watched by 666,000 viewers. Woo! The Mark of the Beast! and they have gotten a big, a big boost, a big comeback? For what? Think about what you're saying.

You're saying 666 is a big comeback. Well, last week it was 500 and whatever the fuck, wasn't it? Yeah, last week was 523. Yeah. Actually, this is a big one. The trailing four-week average is 605. Yeah. They've made a big comeback here to,

The level that NXT was at when they were laughing at NXT for having putrid ratings and they were beaten them. Well, let's go to the quarter hours. These were compiled by WrestleMania. Quarter 1, 8 to 8.8.15 p.m. Jay White and Juice Robinson versus Christian Cage and Hangman Adam Page. 775,000 viewers. Okay, this is intriguing because I was thinking that they were, They were going to start out with a massive number and then drop like a stone from there,

but they're not really that massive at the end. So to make this average, is this another one of those programs where, for the kind of people who like that kind of thing, that's the kind of thing these people liked? Well, we shall find out, quarter to 815, 8.30 p.m. The Mercedes Monet Camille Chris Statlander backstage angle with a fake wall, an ad break, and the start of Will Osprey and Kyle Fletcher's live promo, 649,000 viewers. Oh, good Lord.

So that's 126,000 people, and they've got to go up or they can't go down consistently from there. They won't make their average. Well, quarter three, 830 to 8.45 p.m. The continuation of the Osprey Fletcher promo, now including Mark Davis, Powerhouse Hobbs, Lance Archer and Brian Cage, which leads into Roderick Strong v. Lance Archer, no holds barred or whatever it was.

Follows count anywhere. With picture and picture ads. Followed by Konoske Takesha's live angle, followed by Adam Cole versus Takeshita, 683,000 viewers. Okay, so they just, they had to make sure that they were safe from the Mercedes effect before they came back, and they gained 30,000. 34,000. We got a quarter four now, 845, the 9 p.m.

Adam Cole versus Konoske Takesh, with picture and picture ads. The postmatch with Roderick Strong and Kyle O'Reilly and Rikishay. The Death Rider's backstage angle, an ad break, MVP Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin's backstage angle. What was it backstage angle?

It's a promo. and that's another thing. By the way, I don't mean to go off on a tangent here. And I understand that everybody gets the terminology they see on the internet, but it's not an angle if you just have a promo or even if somebody comes into your promo and says something to you. That's not a fucking angle. An angle is a happening or an instance that is designed to heat up a goddamn rivalry

or bad feelings between. two entities and it's not just every goddamn interview that ever takes place go ahead well we go where were we i don't even know quarter four we were about to find out what that was 665 000 viewers okay and they went back down there went another 18 thousand we go now to quarter five the big nine o'clock hour nine to nine 15 p.m. the dead Death riders, J.D. Drake ramp angle. Orange Cassidy and John... They throw a rampant where they throw a guy that we never see

and probably won't see ever again out on the fucking stage and hit him four or five times with a chair. That's not an angle. The Orange Cassidy John Moxley Live confrontation, an angle with the death riders and the conglomeration and Darby Allen. Oh, and you skip the next thing, one of the worst things I've seen. followed by the Learning Trees backstage promo Oh shit, I forgot about that

Did we skip over that? I must have flipped the page 719,000 viewers Holy shit How did they do Top of the second hour But I take over TBS

Movies for guys who like Moxley So the people believed He was going to do Some kind of major thing And they tune in to see it He does a live interview he runs out of the field. I'm taking over.

I'm gonna go crazy. Hey, where's that Joe Bob Briggs? I like him. So they started at 775. They went in the 600s for the rest of the first hour. Now they're back up to 719 for the top of the second hour. Where do they go from here? They go to quarter six, 915, and 9.30 p.m.

The Britt Baker-Panelope Ford match with picture and picture ads. The post-match with Serena Dieb. The Mina Shurikawa Harley Cameron backstage angle. Angle, that's an angle. That's an angle. Right. Hold on. That was the most ridiculous thing ever.

I'm surprised somebody didn't get a black eye off of that fucking thing. Followed by Leo Rush versus Swerve Strickland, or the start of it, 678,000 viewers. And they're back to, you know, about where they were in the middle of quarter or hour one. So this has not been a train wreck as far as starting big and dropping precipitously. It's just a smaller audience overall than they used to have. Well, we continue to quarter 7, 930 to 9.45 p.m. The Leo Rush Swarbr Strickland match continues with picture and picture and full screen ads.

I hope swerve's going to be okay. That was a hell of an ass kicking. match angle with Swerve Strickland MVP Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin 621,000 viewers that's another 57,000

that's a low point of the show and you can tell that there is some fatigue beginning to set in from just how much more can they see? You know it's one of those things just a real quick break here before we get to the end with Swirriff Strickland you know when people make a big deal out of his contract and how much money

he's getting that's one of the things you look at. He never... I mean, it's stuff with Danielson. We talked about it a lot when talking about Danielson, but swerves involved, the numbers go down,

they're not going up. Well, we can remember the people started liking him on their own when he was a dastardly home-invading heel and started cheering him and chanting for him and just carrying him out of the building

on their shoulders. And as soon as they went with that, they beat him and made him look like a feckless putts, for so long that I think now besides the cool thing who's house swerve's house you know they'll do that if it's in front of them but they don't want to spend a lot of money to go to swerve's house well we go to quarter eight I remind you we have an overrun

945 to 10 p.m. The Jamie Hater promo into the Julia Hart video an ad break the beginning of FTR versus the House of Black with picture and picture ads 597,000 viewers 9-minute overrun

Continuation of FTR versus House of Black Post-Mash with Private Party 567,000 viewers Well, and remember I mentioned that they were at 10 o'clock, top of the hour They were in break, so they lost 30,000 people for the overrun So that negatively affected them rather than positively. So they started at 775 and they ended up at 567, which is 208,000 viewers,

but that's not as big a percentage as they usually lose. So this program would have to be deemed a rating success by their standards. Just an artistic abomination. Well, there it is. The abomination known as dynamite. And we've been going a while. So some of the things we were going to talk about today will get pushed to the experience.

We're going to talk about tomorrow. Well, people don't understand how late in the day it is right now. The moon is out. Oh, it's late. It's the moon. Do you hear that? Even a man who is pure and hard and says his prayers by night

has to end his podcast when the moon is full and bright. But like I said, we're going to have some of the things we were going to do here on the experience, including the rock and his GQ puff piece. as well as the Wrestling Observer Newsletter Hall of Fame and Duckies. Oh, this is hot off the press here. This has just been announced. We need to actually have time to go over this ourselves and examine the state-of-the-art voting.

Well, we will get to all of that on the experience, but like you said, this is my show. Ladies and gentlemen, we ran longer than I thought we were going to because, you know, these hilarious shows get long reviews because it's all really fun. funny. It's a, how can you possibly convey what is going on on this program or ask people for help and trying to help them help us figure out what is going on without going into this detail because it's just, it's nonstop. And again, we have a lot more on the experience. And of course, want to remind everyone the official Jim Cornett YouTube channel, all the clips,

the full episodes, the omnibus collections, and go through the archive at patreon.com slash cornet. I feel like there was something else I was going to say. Now I can't remember what it was. Good night, Gracie? No, it wasn't that yet. The law of says Stephen Pinoe 877-5-0, Steve. Tell the people about Steve Jim.

Well, he's a guy that lives in West Virginia and he likes to help people get justice wherever they live and wherever they can find it. And we're not talking about the former governor of West Virginia who he's kicked his ass. We're talking about justice for the people. Stephen P.new at new law office.com

We're going to do some extra recording in the next few weeks to make sure we can get as many questions as possible on the show. Once again, if you're a member of the official Facebook group, there'll be a new post at some point in the future, but we have a lot there. And of course, corny drive-thru at gmail.com

No, give me a break. I'll send you other guys. Well, we got to split the work up evenly. It's not fair for me to make you do everything.

I'll keep the women. You can take the guys. You took all those Bill and D photos. You know what it's like. But anyway, he had a pillow over his putts. Yeah, well, let's get the pucks out of here. For Jim Cornett, I'm the great Brian last. Telly-ho!
