| 0:00.0 | So we're at the funniest start to AW Dynamite this week. |
| 0:02.7 | So we went backstage, John Moxley, and Will Osprey were just fighting, but somebody went, well, we should start the show anyway. When Alice Windsor pulled up in a car, she attacked Marina Shafir, can you believe it, after William Osprey's tip to New Japan this weekend, he had all of his New Japan friends, and I tell you, they were in fighting mode. It's pretty cool as well because he had the brand new IWGP champion, |
| 0:22.9 | Callum Newman, he had an R-A, and he had Francisco A-Kara, and actually, big shout to Callum Newman. He is the youngest New Japan world champion of all time. I used to work shows with him in the UK a few years ago, so that dude has smashed it. And they were even better because Moxie and Ospre were threatening to suplex each other onto the concrete floor, when of course it spilled out in front of the fans and everybody went nuts. Also, my friends, one to ups the downs for AEW Dynamite, it is the only wrestling of you show you need, and I shall watch professional wrestling so you don't have to, eh? Yes, we're going to approach things as positively as we |
| 0:54.6 | can because it's wrestling and it's meant to be fun and even when people do take a swing and they |
| 0:58.9 | totally miss, we can just go, ha ha, that was crap and move on to something else. Sound good? Awesome. |
| 1:04.4 | Let's go. Now I'm not having the usual, oh, I didn't know who these people were and it turned up I am |
| 1:10.1 | confused because one, you can't have a video package every time. Imagine a video started playing during this. It would not have worked. Annie Scalibor told you, in fact, he went crazy. He gave you as much information as possible. You are allowed to introduce new characters and say, well, they're from a different company and then we learn about them as the show goes on. That's exactly what happened. |
| 1:28.4 | And do not know what I'm doing. The United Empire, which of course is what essentially this was were all in suits as well, which made it even funnier. And after they had kind of chased the death riders away, John Moxie grabbed a microphone and said, well, I do my leaf. There is a spot later on in the main event, which is very handy. why don't we do a multi-person tag? |
| 1:45.0 | I should also tell you as well. |
| 1:46.6 | Osprey kept going for the tiger driving. spot later on in the main event, which is very handy. Why don't we do a multi-person tag? |
| 1:45.0 | I should also tell you as well. Osprey kept going for the Tiger Driver here and Callum Neum was like, yeah, break that mother Hubbard's necks. That's absolutely going to come tired on Sunday. So it's just a good way to kick off dynamite and a great old brood to remind you it's Boxy versus Osprey this Sunday. But when you do tune into a show, |
| 2:00.5 | look, it's just like, go, go, go, go, go. |
| 2:02.5 | And somebody has injected adrenaline into your veins. I mean, you don't want to overdo it, but in terms of the execution here, I liked it a lot, and there was going to be more story later on. Give it out. Apparently, we then did learn that Carl Fletcherus had to vacate his T&T title after After that injury, he did suffer on collision. So I just want to send all the best to that guy. He has always been very kind to me, both in the past and recently, I mean, it always sucks, but I just hope he can rest up and get back before you know it. It's also ruined Tom Callas' plans because he wanted to put Carl Fletcher into Kestha against the Young Bucks at this |
| 2:34.5 | pay-per-view. And of course, Carl Fletcher was meant to go on a massive T&T title run. So now |
| 2:39.1 | Don Call has go back to Dryby. So does all that out, we are going to get a casino |
| 2:42.6 | gauntlet match and everything the AW does have up its sleeve. I think that is the best one |
| 2:46.4 | because it's so damn fun. And because essentially, MGF is still paying the Don Callis family to take out Derby Allen. Well, the Callis family's going to march to the ring and they're going to do exactly that in a multi-puzzle match. The only thing I didn't like here is that at one point Don Callis also said, and I get this was going to tie into later things. Oh, you will want a Cardiff, Tcha, do you? Well, you ain't going to get it. So when it comes to my superstars, in my big family, that we can't feed because there are just too many mouths, I want it to be like Michael Jordan and Scott Eppipi from the Chicago Bulls, because they never really got on, but they could still operate in the same team. It's kind of felt like he was insulting us and going to like, oh, you want this match that obviously you should have got by now because we have overplayed the story, well, you still ain't going to get it. Now again, I think AW actually played into this later on, but I'm still going to give that a down. It kind of ties into everything that's happening in wrestling at the moment. Stop talking about things outside of the wrestling. Just give me the story. Like if if the Kesh and Akkana do hate each other, |
| 3:41.3 | then they should punt each other in the face. It's near work out, though, because it was |
| 3:45.3 | Bandido, Derby, and Jack Perry, taking on Mark Davis, Andrade and Takesha. And just a quick shout |
| 3:50.9 | to Broly King, who very sadly was meant to be in this match, but he was actually at a funeral |
| 3:54.5 | for a friend of his who had tragically passed away. |
| 4:14.4 | I mean, talk about a sobering mind that wrestlers are human beings, and sometimes you can give them a break, but just all the thoughts with his friends and family. Andrade is so done with all the don't guys' surprises, though. He just walked away at one point, which made me laugh. When Darby Allen beats them people up, and they go on a microphone, and you already know what he said. He went, Andrade, you are nothing more than Don Callis' bitch. |
