So AEW came to us live from Manchester in the United Kingdom last night, and of course I'm from the UK, so that's always fun.

And listen, all the lovely people to reach out going to say, hi, how many are you going to be on this show? We keep on trying. Because of course, in case you don't know, I do the content, I do the wrestling as well, and we try and manifest this stuff into existence. We also enjoy the journey. Otherwise, you're going to get to the destination and realise it's not the destination.

And the destination keeps on moving.

If you get it, that's cool.

If you don't, don't worry about it. And also, kind of ties into the concept or classic because dynamite kicked off, we're right into Roderick Strong versus John Moxie and both of them were like, oh man, if we don't win here, it's going to be the end. So once again, let's just hope they enjoyed the rest of the C2.

Not 100% sure that made sense. But always, I love my friends, that's why it is ups and downs for AEW Dynamite, the only rest of you show you need. And once again, if you do need some justification for this, everybody else may go out there and just review the content, but at the weekends I go and do wrestling as well. I was in a battle rule the other day, for Wright Cabaret, and I came out of Santa Claus.

Goofy wrestling. but at the weekends I go and do wrestling as well. I was in a battle rule the other day.

Varite cabaret and I came out of Santa Claus. Goofy wrestling for life. Why wouldn't you do that? But let's focus on this three-hour block. We are not going to talk about the fact it's too long, because it is too long. But Smackdown's about to be three hours as well, and that's going to be too long. You know my thoughts on it. We can just leave it out the window, but for now, let's take the finger of power, which is just my finger attached to my hand. Give the good bits of up, bear bitter down. Now, I don't know whether it's going to go past the C2 as well, but we did it last week as well. Halfway through this match, We cut to René Piquette, who was like an on-field reporter, who just gave us a bunch of stats and added to this story,

and she was doing the like ringside updates seven days ago as well. I really think A.W. should keep this on. It's just the small things that it completely changes their presentation. And because I like sports, it's fun seeing sports, put into pro wrestling, which you can also describe as a sport. Excellent. Don't Mocksey got so fired up during this as well, eventually hit a flipping dive, so put one on the counter when Roderick Strong decided, Nope, I'm going to throw you into Simba the Still Steps, and that's where Mok's is a bit like I'm having a bit of a bad run. But actually, he cut a promo later after this, and he was such a baby face. I understand that we're in the United Kingdom and sometimes the heels are going to get cheered and vice versa. But given the 2025 he has had, as the awful horrible, I'm such a bad guy, I would flip him through 2026. I mean, everybody deep down and Tom Tom loves John Moxie anyway. Let's go back to be a baby face.

The best part as well is that after Roderick Stronger done that, he also broke the back of John Moxley for extra damage. When Mox's like, all right, I'm going to hit with a power driver. We only got a one, two, ooh. Roderick also locked in submission at one point, and Mox has done such a good job throughout this year. Everyone's like, oh my gosh, he is going to tap out.

Although let's hope they didn't sound like that.

You sound like Kermit the Frog.

Oh, no, not really. He's done such a good job throughout this year. Everyone's like, oh my gosh, he is going to tap out.

Although, let's hope they didn't sound like that.

You sound like Kermit the Frog.

Oh, no, not really.

Kermit's more like, well, it's me. No, he doesn't speak like that either. You're here to watch the rest of you. Let's not talk about the Muppets, but we speed forward. Eventually, Roderick Strong was like, oh no, I missed my move.

Moxie got the paradigm shift.

He beat him for the one, two, three.

He is now still alive in the tournament.

And that's for Roddy. was like, oh no, I missed my move. Moxie got the paradigm shift, he beat him for the one, two, three.

He is now still alive in the tournament, and that's for Roddy. Well, I believe he has zero wins. He doesn't have enough matches left. He can't be victorious. So that's going to make him sad over Christmas Day, but once again, both of these guys should be over the moon. This was a super good match. I don't know how many deep we are in to the C2, but nobody has had a bad performance, which is why it is one of the best tournaments of the year. Giving it up. And he kicks and then cut the best promo as well, because we cut to the back and he said he would like to fight on collision, because sure, he didn't beat Samoa Joe, but you never really win or lose. You take these experiences and you make sure you bring them into whatever life holds for you next. And I'm sorry, my friends, no matter what you are doing in your own lives, you need to take that advice. It's so damn true, especially because when it comes to success, what I deem to be successful is going to be completely different to what you deem to be successful. If you've woken up this morning and said to yourself,
