New Champs, NJPW Star Debuts: AEW Dynamite 3/4/26 Review | RAD

0:00We want a ton of night for the most rest inside A.W. Lighting up the fuse Sit back and enjoy the bubbly We're sweet here from town and weight day We'll go and we don't need roads And if the bug stops here, this thing might blow Everything you hear, opinions of the show And if you don't like it, go to the forums And let them know We are here on the Post Wrestling YouTube channel John Pollock and waiting with another big edition of Rewinded Dynamite Tonight we will be heading to El Paso, Texas, the Don Haskin Center And we just went through all the news of the day discussing the big loss sustained by Aaron Wolff who is out of the New Japan cuff Round one, Don Fale prevails It's too bad we don't run New Japan cuff rules

1:00But I would love to see the stats on the predictions and how many people's brackets got broken as a result of this one Man, I, I, I, Pauli Market probably took a big hit from this Pauli, Pauli Market What? The predictions market Oh, is that what the, that's called? Pauli Market and Calgi Those are the, the two major ones Okay, you are so in the weeds with that, that sort of thing Maybe you've been listening to so much Mark Shapiro You're just, you know, you've adopted the language Well, you know what, just, just when you think they've, they've exhausted all the categories We pull out dude wipes Yes, I did not look old fast enough That's my bad I like the sound of that So yes, we went through the New Japan Cup We also discussed NXT and the vengeance day card coming up WWE and AE, A&E's programming for the end of April When it comes back, Man's Warner and Step the Lander Reportedly out at TNA

2:01And also going over impacts lineup They're doing a live show Thursday night outside of Atlanta And then Smackdown on Friday Which is the big title match with Drew McIntyre and Cody Rhodes Which way Ting will be reviewing with Neil Flanagan Friday night On the post-dressling cafe Big match Yeah, you should determine the WrestleMania night one main event So Neil and I will be talking about it right after the show But tonight we're getting into Dynamite from El Paso, Texas WrestleTix last number was 3,329 tickets distributed The last time they ran this building May of last year for a Dynamite that did 3,669 MJF and Kevin Knight is opening up the show As they announce with limited commercial interruption Which told you we're not going to have a quick Brody King MJF match We're going long So MJF points out immediately he hits an arm drag Explaining to Kevin Knight what he just did And Knight responds with four consecutive arm drags of his own Really nice spot there The crowd was getting behind MJF

3:03There were a loud chance for MJF And they got to add the work here for MJF to be the heel here And he just gave them the middle finger And the whole match was breaking down Kevin Knight's ribs And his midsection Little did we know this was not just going to be a one match story For the night And he hit a Topekon hero to the floor As he charged up those ribs He had the Seth Rollins recovery And then a big jumping DDT And MJF hits an Alabama slam Slamming them on the ribs And then we got the MJF 5 Also dropping him on the ribs And they're going back and forth Rapid covers by each and then This spot was incredible MJF's on the floor And the cameraman is right next at this low angle Next to MJF And Kevin Knight is running And I'm thinking he's going to do like a summer salt dive But he jumps over with a flying clothesline To the floor This thing looked so incredible

4:04It was like this guy felt like he was going to jump into your living room The way that they shot this It looks so cool Yeah I wonder if it's intentional or just like Right place, right time for that cameraman I mean, I was thinking about this guy's shoulder As he landed it But look fine, got up And the ribs get running to the steps And then MJF gets placed into the tree of woe So Kevin Knight hits a coast-to-coast dropkick The UFO splash lands But as he's coming down MJF kicks Bryce Rumsberg into the rope And therefore, Bryce can't count right away And it saves MJF Knight goes for another UFO splash And lands on the knees Thus impacting the ribs And the heat-seeker to win in 17 minutes One second Really great, like TV type of title match To open up this show I would say this was the first of like four Easily to me four star matches on this show As is sort of the expectation and norm

5:05Which is wild like this year Especially like they're very much at a I would say at a very different level And they're already at a very strong level But, you know, getting these sort of like singles matches That feel not just like TV title defenses But like substantial matches involving the champion I think it is excellent This was this nobody really expected Kevin Knight to have any sort of chance But I think this is the type of matchup That you'd be interested in watching in Even if there was no title on the line You know, it's just MJF versus Kevin Knight Two terrific wrestlers And as a showcase for Knight I thought this was a very full showcase Like the type that I felt elevated him And despite the loss Because it allowed him to look very capable In a big match situation You couple this with the promo he caught on collision Which I thought was just full of like great You know, I'm not gonna say top guy level personality right now But certainly somebody at his age like Not that he's so so young They're actually the same age Like they're both like 29 But yeah But like, but Knight has like incredible potential To like, you know, be at that level

6:07In my opinion So I thought Crowd was certainly very loud for it Mainly based on the action alone So like their chances of like You know, thinking that could actually win Certainly didn't affect their reaction to it all And I thought the ribbing jury was effective Though, of course, for a guy who relies on jumping offence as much as Knight You kind of do have to suspend your disbelief a little bit You know, to really bind to the ribbing jury But it was overall I thought a very Effective way to tell the story Yeah, and I thought Max was just awesome in this magic I'm watching this match And this guy feels just like you're old Like touring champion who's just gonna Come to the territory work with the top baby face And even in beating him is gonna elevate the guy And I'm just And I don't even say this is a bad thing Because I think it makes this revolution Main event so interesting with the heavy stipulation Because I'm watching this You know, I would not be taking the title off this guy Until like, Wembley Like, I think he's just excellent As this champion But I mean, it makes for like a really interesting way of

7:09How you book this match next weekend at revolution Because my god is MJF Not tired at all As champion He is just getting started with this run And they've set up all these challenges for him As well So it's really interesting how they will Book this next next weekend And I admit the page rise is really hard to predict Because you could see paths for both of them heading towards Wembley They're kind of setting up the pieces for all of them But there's certainly a lot of life left in this MJF front For sure He pulls out the diamond ring But Hangman page comes out distracting MJF And then Speedball sends MJF to the floor with a kick And we also had a sign that was facing the hard camera that read Didn't have to remorgge the house to attend Oh, okay, yes Ah, yes Because for the other brand you, the other show you might Yeah Yes Well, I'm sure Tony Conn would love to change that I'm sure if he could get away with like Making people regal mortgage their house To go to these shows

8:10I sort of he'd jump on that Humans are our social animals That's just the fact So We go to Orange Cassidy and Darby Allen against the dogs Yeah, is this a recent rebranding Because I guess we never really had an official name They were sort of unofficially the war dogs Yeah But now they are the dogs Which I don't know how to feel about that This also probably isn't the best week to be promoting Yourselves as the war dogs I would I would think True But but they are going as the dogs Like that is that is clear It's maybe the name I don't have so much of an issue with But it's the fact that Gabe Kid comes out crawling on all fours That I feel like is a little bit too much A little bit too on the nose You know What if they are actually dogs Like that's the reason The gimmick christened as You know animals Yeah, I don't know if that Like the crawling on all fours is so necessary from Kid Like it works for a Rick Steiner In the 90s

9:10But I don't think Gabe Kid needs to do that Okay, well It's all he should borrow from Rick Steiner So They brawl before the bell rings ringside And Kid is hanging Orange Cassidy in this guillotine On the stairs And then he releases And with Orange Cassidy on the stairs Conors runs up the steps Spearing Cassidy through a table In the time keepers area So Normally you would think this guy is like Out for a week He was down for about four minutes Before he would stagger to the apron And gets the hot tag It's too on one against Darby Until Cassidy can return Darby did that spot where he seated on the top rope And then shoved like ass over T kettle And just smashes his head on the apron As he comes down Poor neck, yeah Cassidy comes in Double Ronna to the dogs And then hits a PK beach break combo Kids in for the stave There's this great stun dog Into a code red combo Like Cassidy and Darby Whenever they team up These guys are just

10:11tremendous Partners together Backpacks stunner Satellite DDT to Conors And then With Darby hitting the coffin drop To both on the floor Clark is sent back in Orange Punch And Cassidy pins Clark Conors At seven minutes And 15 seconds And quickly The dogs Are not alone Because in comes David Finley With a shalei Literally today On the New Japan broadcast We had Chris Charlton stating that We don't know the status of David Finley He's uh he's taking some time To himself right now And um Yes he uh All he needed to do was see the air in wolf booking And uh he made up his mind in several hours And uh here he is joining Joining his dogs And they attack them With the shalei And stack them on top of each other So there they are David Finley In uh i mean How did a w find room for For another person here They a they a they signed them way We'll let the dogs in

11:12Am I right? Yes My kid just suddenly got into that song The big day at daycare right now Oh my gosh Oh they're into retro radio I i thought Finley's reaction was was was okay here Like i don't know if he was like Even the level of reaction of like a tomaso chapa in my opinion But of course like he is a name you know you're talking about um Like somebody who who was a main inventor In in New Japan for wrestling And i think putting him with corners and kid feels natural And at this point seems to complete this This new faction Um but i do hope that like for kid and conner's sake Like it doesn't mean that they're pushed down A level like in their own group Because i you can argue gabe kid is more Accomplished in a w and maybe more well known to an a w audience than david finley is And i certainly see a bit more upside in gabe kid than i do david finley But you're getting a great talker um and i think as a group There's a lot of potential for like trio storytelling Including Maybe a future rivalry with the bang bang gang Whenever they go get help It's gonna say you got finley and j white under one roof again

12:14Juice and juice too Yeah like so you know it's like that whole generation of like americans You got basically every every iteration of the bull club from the past like Three years and you could bring in the good brothers if you wanted to you don't need the gnaw There's no this point drilla drilla's the one he's like he's sticking around in new japan So yeah, i mean this one was uh yeah david finley he he kept obviously his plans pretty close to the vest And i i can't blame him because all of us value privacy uh way Myself and of course the good folks at nord vpn You let it be known okay I i always take your alerts when we haven't had and i take them very seriously and uh I had to call an audible i had to i had to plot this one out for you had told me Prior to the show were you were going to do that throw And it's still completely caught me off card and just made me laugh my ass off during those 30 seconds or so So thank you very much this is how i watched dynamite way it's it's only for for the nord insertion

13:18So rene interviews bandito and and rade and bandito he's a big fan of and rade This is a dream come true to face him at revolution and rade basically just You're just a little fan. I don't know if you want to fight or just take a selfie with me I'll see you at the pay-per-view Dude, this was the weirdest setup for this this man I know these guys are gonna have a killer match But the segment did not do anything for me. I mean it is based in reality and i i don't hate it john Like i feel it's a relatively sort of like easy Story that they can tell somebody who used to admire somebody and here's another like but in his current incarnation He's big-timing him and of course you would expect to will be humbled in the match in in some form, right? I think it allows on drade to like play this sort of a cocky heel character really well And yes, it does maybe take away the star quality of a bandito a little bit But i don't think it'll hurt him with this audience at all who already love it, you know Well, I would argue that the the better

14:18Build up for this match was him telling abuela to come to revolution and he'll take a selfie with her Yeah, so what she did on x. Yeah, so that's that's that's where the real build's happening The brawling birds Alex Windsor and Jamie Hader against the inspiration We had a promo from Cassie Lee and Jessica McKay stating that the women in a w don't have the balls To go against them But it turns out the brawling birds did they the inspiration keep dancing so they get jumped by Windsor and Hader They take turns chopping each one and then it's two birds one stone Which I will never say with a straight face as league gets dumped on top of mckay and they deliver the double pin in a minute 28 And one stone is like the perfect tag team finishing name for a team called the brawling birds I mean, it's exactly what you'd want out of a name for a tiny move. Yes I thought this was descend off for the inspiration. I just I don't know if we need an encore

15:22Well, listen like this was This was a clear signal about what role the inspiration are here to play in a w Number one, they didn't even get like they got an in set promo, which I you know for for our team of like some sort of like Reputation, yeah, I think you would have expected a little bit more build You know their introduction was on a house show that was never really talked about beyond that um so But They they are here to be comedy jobbers for the tag team division and this I think very much said that they are here to play the role That Nixon dual and Miranda Alize were afraid of She's exactly right and I think as an example you will see these two get over in this role in ways that Many other teams would not be able to you know like this is not the death knell for a tag team the way it might have been like I don't know in the 80s or 90s like this is actually a great way to get TV time in a w is that you You don't have any app or any apprehension about losses and be you don't have to have long competitive matches

16:24I question the long-term value this will have the the other side of it is that the inspiration there There are personality Things that you can do with them to give them some legs here, but well I think the jury's out of like longevity here at a w and whether it will be a fit or not Well In modern times look look no further than Chelsea green and hardly Cameron as examples of people in these roles Specifically in the women's divisions and who have gotten tremendously over like in the case of hardly Cameron They've been able to partly that into a great baby face run And I think you could see that for Chelsea green whenever they want to execute um, you know like well Will they feel that way about the inspiration? Well the audience take to them, you know the way that they have for others I think that at least there's a chance and it's a worthwhile experiment You know you know these two coming off of these losses will somehow make this more entertaining Despite their record, you know, the gimmick will be that they never win But they might continue to entertain you and that might be able to you might turn that into a great baby face run at some point Hangman page came out he was billed as in action

17:27And Marty snow got to take a boot and a buckshot Larry at 11 seconds More of just a this was just like a warm-up to cut a promo and he addresses MJF He is putting his his title hopes on the line and Says how MJF has scoffed at hangman for years just for having a human conscience But I will not have a conscience at Texas death and calls MJF who comes out Mentioning that they'll be having a press conference on dynamite next week and they get jumped by or hangman It's jumped by proto-cada and Kyle Fletcher as MJF watches on there's a big lary by Davis jet speed come down nights ribs are taped up and Don Calis comes out with archer calling them greedy millennial punks They want all the belts speedball you French Canadian puke They came out on collision stating they would defend the trellis belts any place any time And I spoke with Tony con and that place is El Paso and the time is tonight

18:28Do you have never heard of crowds so excited remember a few weeks ago when they set up punk and baler And they were like if they were in Cleveland but made it for Chicago This was the opposite where this crowd they were like we know we have two more matches left There's only an hour left of time and they're like no you're getting it tonight and they just popped Um Didn't make Tony con the most uh sincere boss here as uh Kevin Knight is like taped up He's been 17 minute match and yeah, yeah sent him out for a trellis title match I was going to say yeah, I mean it doesn't necessarily make Don Calis look like the heel in this situation as much No, it makes Tony con uh just uh the meat grinder. He's putting his talent through like his Tony con The one to say hey, they said it they said that they wouldn't get challenged anytime I guess I I'll have to make it's a figure of speech god damn it. I mean yeah Tony con kind of has to answer for this but um, you know But this crowd was more than happy and I think all of us watching at home were more than happy to have this as an addition So we go to a conference room where Renee is

19:31I thought this was going to be like a contract signing But it was just like the bucks and FTR what sitting down to like Chat like what was the backdrop of this? I mean the answer is doesn't matter like our contract signings just excuses for guys to like talk Well, I thought they'd at least put the The rat like I don't know we booked this conference room. They should have had pieces of paper in front of them They were just here to uh to chat and they have of course a no contact clause But you know what's got to read that that clause because there's Brandon Cutler filming all of this FTR explains to the best tag teams of this era are the two of them and the briskos And we've already beat the briskos two out of three times and we're gonna close the chapter on this debate at revolution Nick explains how they put their hands on their families Matt gave it in passion plea about Wanting to beat the shit out of them, but we're not gonna do it right now our family will be in attendance at the pay-per-view So look out malice coming and Dak says as he's walking out

20:33We agreed to a no contact clause But Brandon didn't sign the clause any dex Brandon Cutler who goes down in a heap and that was our segment Yeah, so now they hit their they've attacked their brother And their camera man. Oh, that's too much. Yeah, I thought Yeah, what are one of these kids taking a spike pilot driver at revolution that that is what it's building to I'm sure yeah I thought a decent promo from all involved here giving us a little bit more reaction to like the brothers being attacked here But it is hard for me to buy sincerity from Nick Jackson because I think every time he's nick or Matt Matt sounds great Nick I think like every time he talks it sounds like a sarcastic BTE bit And I think that's just like it's it's it's a gift for BTE But it's sort of like not helpful at all in these sort of serious situations where you have to react to the attack He's got the surfer California. Yeah, vibe like at least a bit of it Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's hard for me to take him seriously when he's actually pissed off because I haven't just haven't really seen it yet, but um

21:36On BT, it's great. It's used a great effect Next was John Moxley and head to sarrow in another eliminator bout as a John Moxley just takes on all luchadors Which I could watch these every every week someone comes in From CMLL to face John Moxley Marina Schaffer is walking through the back with Moxley saying come on Tony make me laugh Tony Make me laugh and it took me a second to realize she was talking about Tony storm There's a lot of Tony's on the show your Tony clon has made her laugh. No, I'm sure he tells great joke So we got Matt work at the beginning really good stuff here the crowds counting in Spanish as head Chicero delivers the 10 punches in the corner and then hits a flying elbow and Moxley selling the arm He then catches him with a tower of London off the top rope and then head Chicero goes after the knee of Moxley that they cite Being a weakness for Moxley going back months and they do all these cool reversals Moxley ends up with an arm bar and then head Chicero takes hold of the legs for a submission

22:36And then does this like variation on the McCready role just twisting Moxley around so Moxley just gets up and Head Chicero, I mean maybe sensing man these moves are looking pretty cool. So he just says fuck you at John Moxley And gets hit with a running knee and a death rider and Moxley wins in 14 minutes and 41 seconds I'm not going to say this was the best match on the show, but I really really like this match This is a great sort of like um, I don't know Like addition it like and kind of answered like a curiosity of what what a John Moxley had to say or a match Would look like and I felt like they offered some Clash of style, but really in the best ways What you really had was like almost like a BGJ based submission game versus a Yavi style submission game And I thought like both were blended really well with these two like it I got a lot more of this and like the L clone match was fine last week But I really got into this I just thought all the the submissions and the The the mat work that they did it was really compelling like this did not feel like 14 minutes to me when this ended

23:36It was very good and it was all coated with like Moxley's great intensity that he seems to like Be able to inject into all of his matches so that even like a very technical match like this felt like an actual fight So it yeah, I love this Moxley tour of the Don Callis family so far To cash to comes out at the end as Moxley celebrating and then He points to the revolution sign They got to make this more of a staple Yeah, sign pointing season My name is Mackenzie and I started to go find me for the Adoptive mother of a nonverbal autistic child the mother Had lost her job because she wasn't able to find adequate care for this autistic child So she really needed some help with living expenses paying some back bills So I launched a go fund me to help support them during this crisis and we raised About $10,000 within Just a couple of months. I think that the surprising thing was by

24:40Telling a clear story and just like really being very clear about what we needed We have some really generous donations from people who are really moved by the situation that this family was Go fund me is the world's number one fundraising platform trusted by over 200 million people Start your go fund me today at gofundme.com.

25:43Brody King comes out in the arena. Um, I didn't hear any chance No, no, and I felt like not that not to suggest that it was deliberate But like the way he kind of came out without any sort of anticipation like Just kind of very quickly gotten the microphone to fill all the silence There wasn't really much space for the crowd to like chant fuck ice or anything like that So Brody comes out he responds to swerve's comments stating I am the most dangerous man in AEW And he calls out swerve but Prince Nana is out and asks are you sure you want to go down this this path with swerve And so he calls out swerve and I think everyone knew what was coming here because we're waiting and waiting for swerve And he jumps Brody from behind with a chain hit some of the house call and then hangs them over the rope Choking them with the chain he tells Brody. I had a message to send a Kenny now. I have a message to send to you He accepts the match for revolution And then Bandito runs out to save Brody King here. So specifically swerve said as his last line. This is I've hungman in LA before

26:48Referencing the page swerve Texas death match. Oh, that's right. That's right. Yeah, so this was really I think our first early T's of a feature swerve page match one more time. Yeah This has to be a super violent match. I feel a revolution I mean, but they're basically mega. It's the two most dangerous men in a company that has done a lot of violent matches But you're getting tested death in the main event. How how violent can you make this? I feel like excess is kind of in this company's DNA And we're gonna see these men's DNA in this match I think as well as the main event It's still a really tough one for me to predict, you know, maybe more so than even MJF and page because I think you can argue both our Should not be beaten right now But I'm leaning towards sort of he just like feels like he they've they've got more plan for him, you know, in the in the near future. So And I'm sure there's a way to protect Brody in LA like it in a loss, but I'm kind of curious to see how they get there That Threaders promo Garcia was just screaming at me through the screen

27:51Warning the don countless family and then you to shows off his head stating that getting his head shaped was the darkest moment of his career But I'm prepared for war and through loss. I have freedom Glad this man is okay The loss his hair and very much having a hairline that the man could grow back very easily Marina She's done her promo on Tony Storm. I'll show us left is calling her a pussy and then moxley Let's talk. It's almost like yeah, all you guys you send your best from CMLL and new Japan All the ad agencies Getting into wrestling these days. I'm like was that a swipe at slam fest That uh, what is it that uh? Paragroge overall is that that's the only thing I could come up with. They're not an ad agency. There are well I feel this was John mox's interpretation of what he's talking about TK is he don't talk about TKO like or I guess I guess I My mind went to slam fest because I

28:51I don't know moxley takes I feel I feel probably I'm working some of those okay All the ad agencies getting into wrestling these days So we have cost effective fighting and ad agency entertainment That's right. Yeah, so they are going to see this until the end with the Don Calis family What does that mean that means months of multi-man's on collision? Okay, that's that's how they're gonna see that They're they're gonna run this one out until they can get to Blood and guts honestly, I'm not complaining man like I feel like every iteration of like with these death routers Don Calis family matches have been like pretty good and I'm not really sick of them at all yet So and just wait till uh, they've got they've got Brian Cage in in In the bench. They've got Jake Doyle. They've got that guy Wardlow. Remember him. No, I do. Yeah You know, maybe bring it. There's a whole Oscar that are just coming back They can swap guys out seasonal players for the Don Calis family Great true. Yeah Tekla and Thunder Rosa for the women's title, which is now are now it's a double main event that we that we have as they as they called this

29:53So Thunder Roses in control early and then Tekla boots are off the apron Tekla just has charisma just coming out of her pores Shavani suggests Thunder Rosa might have come back too soon as Tekla is dominating this and then gets hit with a stunner Both end up seated on the top spider suplex and then goes for the spear and counts to and lifts up Thunder Rosa So Tekla misses a stomp and Thunder Rosa gets a desperation cutter hits the fire Thunder driver and Tekla kicks out Reacted to that and then Tekla bridges backwards avoiding the clothesline very well timed hits the spear hits one stomp Two stomp to the bad neck and pins Thunder Rosa in 11 minutes and eight seconds Entertaining match. I felt it was more compelling than what I would have expected for first title defense from Tekla And I thought it was helped very much by you know Rosa's home state appeal here in this match and But the standout thing you come out of this match with is just how um like impressive Tekla's charisma is Our offense looks great, which is I think the most you know important thing

30:56But I think what really makes her feel like a champion level talent is her ability to play with the crowd into garner Like really good reaction simply by posing and like doing the splits upside down and bridges and things like that Um just the way she pray especially in like these small venues like she's playing to the camera But she's so loud that it's like the whole arena can hear her like she just projects so well Like I think they've really got something with her in this position that she can have a good run with this belt It'll certainly I think is gonna establish her as one of your main focus upon women like this is a future opponent for Tony for Mercedes like there's a lot you can do with Tekla in this role There is a sort of like Understanding of like you know who her character is and also there's a real confidence, you know to her words that I mean, I really do feel like he's you know for all of her strengths The thing that Chris that lander still seems to be finding is you know things that

31:56Tekla already has are you talking about Lara Croft Is that what she was going for this week? She comes out. She's just like this stoic figure walking out auditioning for Tomb Raider and she has stopped by security as she approaches Julia Hart and Sky blue Am I wrong? I don't I mean the hair sure like I don't be on that. I'm I'm not sure if if a Tomb Raider was really the inspiration This this look more like um, I don't I don't know Sioux lander um Zoo like back like background um You know extra I can't really say what she's going for here. She doesn't look like an alien anymore. This is not the cosmic Killer or what no this is gimmick number 508 that she's attempting. Yeah, we're going to the well So she's stopped by security, but then Tekla delivers another stop to Thunder Rosa Chris breaks through security as Tekla retreats

32:56And she checks on Thunder Rosa and it would seem like they're going to run this back at revolution. Yeah seem seems like it um Yeah, I you know, I I really feel like Um, it's probably another loss for Statlander and then I don't know what the Because I would not be flipping this belt back anytime soon not at all like I and we have the match to look forward to But like as a man as a character to see her continue to take so many risks and to try Basically, I took like a new look or new gimmick every single week It's kind of hard for me to take her seriously. She kind of comes across like Like we're giving now is like a bit of a night and somebody who has a bit of an identity crisis Which you know like I don't know maybe that's what she goes for maybe maybe that's it. Yeah So the demand did a promo reacting to the mile high match seems like ricochet and jack parry will be Running that one back again, but they didn't officially announce that René brings out tamasso champa and he states how Kyle Fletcher took Sylvie away and gave her a makeover without his consent

34:01And now he is hiding in trios matches because he knows if he gives me a rematch I will be the champion and he is fine earning a rematch He'll face mark briscoe again And he came here to AEW to be a top guy And that leads to ftr coming down with stoke they hug champa and That says we're here to welcome an old friend and offer you a spot to join us and we can take over AEW Champa says I hated your guts 10 years ago, and I hate you now Yeah, remember all those uh those handicap matches those legendary handicap matches. We had two on one Okay, you're you're making reference to the missing member. Yes, the missing member. Yes, the uh the planker Yes So He says I hate you now and warn stoke the adults are talking and Dax explained or sorry champa explains there's a no there isn't any no contact clause between us as he just strikes dax Basically just stands right up and is like

35:03We'll see you on collision saturday Somebody who might have like you know been watching the show for the first time might have just assumed this was Brandon cutler Like getting his like that, you know on dax. It's like. Oh, he's got a jacket now I'm all guy with a beard. I'm not the farthest If you were new you might Mistake it so they announced here, and I'm like wow dax and champa that's that's a pretty great match for collision And then they announced ftr against the rascals I didn't really get this. I don't know if somebody made a mistake or don't change his plans on the fly or something But yeah, this seemed to indicate like you're getting a singles match between champ and dax and later They literally meant yeah, we'll see you like backstage or something at collision like that's it like I imagine they've got to do something on collision But yeah, I was looking forward to seeing this match on saturday You'll have to wait another Saturday. I guess so so Tony storm walks into the trainers room. Cassidy is being treated and I'm gonna do my best here, but she talked about Behinds she's got the best behind and refers to I assume marina was here

36:04If you're a nicotine twisting Nazi That wants her lips twisted and her face fisted Yes, I took it that they're gonna have a match. That's what I took from this You did you do a nicotine twisting Nazi I don't know what that means um nicotine chewing Nazi is what she said Oh, okay, if you're nicotine chewing Nazi, you know what I I twisted my words here because it's lips twisted nicotine chewing yeah, okay, that makes more sense. Yeah, all right. So is she trying to kick a smoking habit Is this what we're not aware of or she choose tobacco what was this? I mean I take it to just be more like a reference of her time Maybe that was a lot more common, you know, in the age of Tony storm when she was originally created then Something contemporary, but um, I I mean, I loved it like it's to me that like she She's on like a sort of like a rainy savage level of spaciousness in her promos, but I think like

37:07That's not any sort of knock like that that is a gift, you know, and I think like ultimately when you really think about it Like everything does make perfect sense according to what this character is and it's really really funny when you break it down So I just I think she's amazing Collision which you don't know I just I had to watch this like four times because it was it was very uh You're not you don't have to understand every single word, you know, like we've got to break all this down way So collision is live Saturday in Tucson, Arizona We have the $200,000 tag match with private party the swirl the returning ruch and realistico and the outrunners Claudio against Kenosuke to keshta Swurve against gravity and fdr against the rascals for the tag titles and Maybe tamaso champa will be taking the show in somewhere It will be he'll be there. Yeah next week. They're in san jose will get the press conference with mjf and hangman And kyle fletcher against speed ball mic baili for the tnt title which should be sensational

38:08And yes, it is past 10 p.m. Time for our main event jet speed rodeo against okada fletcher and mark davis I had to look this up because Since jake doils injury which was January 28th mark davis has wrestled every week on dynamite Amazing and and he's done in curved curved. He's more active now than like any point is a w 10 year Yeah, he is just and now and it honestly is at the point now where like I wonder if they would I wonder if jake doil has a team to come back to Like he's kyle fletchering, you know that team Well the thing is again like the names we just listed like if it works out where any of these other guys come in like It's a fair like you can take the idea of doil and davis and apply it to doil with a Brian cage or Like you can it's not ideal But yeah, you're right like I think like mark davis is almost like he's Graduated to another tier Yeah, yeah, I don't know like what what these Aussie open guys have been like doing in their off-time

39:09Like what sort of mental coaching they've been receiving but like both of them are like Doing really well a single did this this kyle fletcher is just like oh we talk about Randy Orton I mean, I think we need some some 2022 Kyle fletcher comparisons to uh to this guy So yeah, we do have Aussie open together here along with proto kyle all together here so he's the name of this group like you need something better than don calis family uh Pro to ko kyle kozi proto kyle open pro to opan um Uh, I'm sure I'm sure we will get something on the level of horsecock you know to come. Okay. Uh, the age gets the tag from Bailey and there's a one man come back on all three. Kyle then captures Kevin Knight and he is flying off the top, rope into a barricade. Davis puts him in an abdominal stretch injuring the ribs further and they break off the ring with night and he kicks Fletcher off, makes the tag to Bailey,

40:10who hits this beautiful springboard onsite to the floor, missile drop kick to Davis, and Okada's into save, goes for the rainmaker, but Bailey ducks hitting a spinning wheel kick, Paige manages the dead eye on Davis, Kyle's in for the save, and then Kyle holds up Bailey and goes to like, like in position for a lawn dart, and he hoists him in the air and Bailey comes down into a Poison Ronna. I have never seen that, that kind of a counter before, to a Poison Ronna. Paige skins the cat, Larry hits Davis, but then MJF appears out of nowhere and nails hangman with the diamond ring. He's down, rainmaker is hit to Kevin Knight and Davis deadlifts him into the pile driver, and I think notable here that they gave Mark Davis the pinfall on Kevin Knight, who goes, oh for two entitled matches tonight, in 13 minutes and 47 seconds as MJF smiles, as we have new Trio's champions. Great match, really great match, and it almost felt like, Okay, Hobbs is leaving.

41:10We got to get these Trio's belts onto Jet Speed, Jet Set rodeo, and then we'll figure out what we're going to do with these Trio's belts, because it's sort of just, they were just holding these belts until they could come up with a team that they're really going to run with, and it feels like that will be these three. So yes, but I also thought it, it's worked out really well. Like it's given Knight and Bailey, at least some relevance, attached to a main event title picture, you know, being somewhat attached to Paige, even though they were not very active as a title defenders. But still, it's like kind of elevated their stock a bit, and now it's added further fuel to Patriots as MJF, because of MJF causing, costing them the titles, which I think was maybe a predicted outcome. But as a match itself, I was not expecting the title changed necessarily, because you know, this was not at all a Trio's within the Don Calis family that I think received any sort of like publicity beforehand. Everything has been behind protocol of being built up, right?

42:10So the addition of Mark Davis and the three of them now being a Trio rather than a tag team going for a taking goal, not necessarily something I expected, but I'm not complaining like these, like weekly TV matches or at least like frequent TV matches, involving these three as a leaders of the Trio's division. Sounds awesome. I thought this match was great. I mean, you know, I feel like this was Tony Khan trying to like, continue the streak of like TV match of the year contenders. Oh, I think so too. Like booking this match. Like, you know, we're like, we're three for three so far. This show was literally like, this show was timed out, like at two hours that this could have ended it. This show, this match didn't until after the top of the hour, like this could have gone on collision. And I think they even brought it up. Like this is our, like Shavani even made mention of the fact, like these TV main events, like every week have been topping each other. Yeah. So this didn't quite get there for me. Like at least like my initial reaction to it is that it was not as great as like a champ

43:10versus Fletcher for instance. But the overall quality of these shows continues to be incredible. And as in this match in particular, as a showcase for speedball, like this speedball looked incredible. And next week's match with Kyle Fletcher, like that, that could be like top tier level as well. But man, from this show, this, the main event, if you look at the show, the Darby and Cassidy tag and MJF Kevin Knight, I would put all those, like minimum four, like four star matches that you would go to, like Teclan Thunder, Rosa was a really nice match, and that would, I'd put that like fifth on this show, Hang Man and Marty Snow, not really a match at all, neither were the Brawling Birds and the Inspiration, so it was like an excellent in-ring show for sure. And not a whole ton in terms of like more announcements announcements for revolution, but you see where Tony Storm and Marina Shaffir is probably going to be announced. You were, um, you're probably going to get something involving Darby

44:10and Gabe Kidd again now with, with the dogs of some sort. They indicated that Jack Perry and Ricochet like all these programs that I imagine they'll finalize Saturday and next week. Officially announced so far we have Brody King and Swerve on dry day versus Bandito, uh, John Moxley versus Takeshita and in no time limit match for the continental title. And we got FTR versus the box for the tag titles. And then of course MJFers page in the last chance Texas death match. That's what five matches that just officially so far. Yeah. Well, there's plenty more to come, most likely. Um, so yeah, a, a very strong episode of dynamite overall, um, the, the 220 edition. What, when is a show just going to expand to another hour? It's coming, dude. Oh, I'm sure like once Tony gets the green line and they send them a new check. Um, I'm sure he, he'd be more than willing to welcome that. We, um, we, we didn't go, we'll go over the ratings on Thursday show with branded, but it is worth noting collision. It was a five week low, but it was a very good

45:12collision number and it was against elimination chamber. And I would say if this was our test about going against a WWE PLE, I wouldn't, I wouldn't necessarily advocate for WrestleMania weekend. But to me, it's like, I'm, I'm not avoiding Saturday nights after, after this. I think it's the combination of, you know, the biggest factor is that a lot less people have ESPN than peacock. And I don't think it's, it's now, it's the same with Saturday nights main event. A lot less people are watching now that it's not on NBC. So, uh, they did like 365,000 viewers, like that's a really good number for collision. And they have not gone against a WWE PLE live head to head since last, uh, God, I want to say I had this in my, in my story, but it's been a long time. And a year ago, they went against elimination chamber. They did a way better number this year. And I think part of that's the peacock effect. And so that, that's an interesting thing as well about Saturday nights. These, like collision has

46:16really benefited from this, this last, uh, six week period. Yeah. If the alternative is like ping ponging the time slot, every single time there's like, there's some friction attached to it. Like, maybe it's just better to, you know, like keep consistent. And sometimes like, take a lesser rating, but ultimately still build that sort of, um, um, audience consistency, you know. So, yeah, I'll see. All right. We are going to say goodbye to everyone here on the YouTube channel. But wait, let's talk about what is coming up Thursday, new month here at post wrestling cafe.com. And uh, we're kicking off the month with the final WWF show ever. WWF insurrection. So r, r, r, what's tougher to spell the inspiration or insurrection? Oh my god. This is WWF spelling, where we got to throw an X in there. And it's like, yeah, this is, um, yeah. Insurrection 2002, um, a card coming very closely after the first brand split. This is a raw branded show.

47:17So you're getting Steve Vost in Triple H, the Undertaker, uh, made of it involving Triple H in the Undertaker actually. I don't know if I've ever seen this match. So I've never seen this show. Yeah. So I'm, I'm, I'm looking forward to our RVD and Eddie is the opener on, on this show. Yeah, speaking of El Paso. Yeah. So, um, I'm, I don't know. I have a bit of a soft spot for, um, 2002 WWE and WWF, I should say technically. So we will dive right into it and we're, um, people like Bradshaw and, um, the Dudley's might have been right after being broken up from their team. It's quite, quite, quite the time in the WWF. And, uh, because of this show, uh, we will probably be talking about the plane ride from hell, which is what followed. Uh, this was the last night of their, it was like four nights, uh, in Europe ending with this show in London and then flying back. And that was the, the infamous, uh, plane ride from hell. So we'll probably revisiting that. And then the Monday Raw following this was the first WWE branded show after the

48:21world wild life fund, um, basically they had to just relent and change the letters. And Vince McMahon was like, wait, when I, when I signed this agreement, I didn't, I didn't mean this. Uh, you're gonna hold me to an agreement. I don't understand this. That's not fair. So all of that will be, uh, chatted about on Thursday's rewind away. And then Thursday night, I'm live here on the Post Wrestling YouTube channel 830 PM Eastern time with Brandon Thurston. We will talk about, uh, his story today about the, uh, the plaintiffs in the shareholder lawsuit will also be going through the Mark Shapiro Morgan Stanley call. We had our fun on Monday and, uh, we'll get through the substance of what the man actually said over, uh, 35 minutes as well. So a lot to, uh, break down on Thursday's Pollock and Thurston. We want to smack down with way and Neil is Friday evening. And then I will be doing a UFC show this coming Sunday with Eric Marcod. Quick plug here for our social media channels where you can, uh, recently just uploaded over the past day. Uh,

49:21find our latest super cut from Sean, our editor of John Pollock's Paul Avec unreal impressions. This, uh, is maybe my favorite short that I, I think Sean has edited so far put together. And of course, uh, featuring the one and only John Paul Avec. Very, very nice. I watch some of these and I can't tell you like, I do these shows. I don't retain any of the things I do on some of these shows. So when I watch these, I've just like, it's, it's proof that like, I, I did say this stuff, but I like have no memory of it until I actually see it. Somebody said it in one of our comments. We may have had it through AJ's retirement, um, the loss of AJ styles, um, the, AJ styles, John Pollock impression, but we certainly gained one. Uh, well, we're the successor in unreal Paul Lebec. So you've always got to create new stars. That's right. The business works. All right. You can check out all of that. Uh, great work is always by Sean and, uh, Luke. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Always.
