We got a proper entrance for Brian Danielson at the start of this week's episode of A.W. Dynamite, which was cool for two reasons. One, he is now officially part of the commentary team and good grief he's good at commentary, but two, he also had an entrance in the ECW arena. Now, maybe he's performed there before, but when it comes to a checklist about Brian Danielsman's career, well, I think he basically checked every single box. Also, my friends, and welcome to ups and downs. The only wrestling of you show you need, or I watch professional wrestling so you don't have to. And in case you have stumbled across this, finger of power. If something's good, we say up, something bad, we say down. You then disagree with me in the comments. You can go and share this around and say, this guy's an absolute idiot, and you can insult me as much as you want.

1:12.1

Sound good? Awesome. Let's shake. Let's go.

1:16.5

We then got Hangman-Aldapage versus Josh Alexander to kick things off and listen.

1:20.5

Of course, this was a great match. And it did make sense because it does seem like it is going to be Carl Fletcher versus Hangman Adam Page at All Out.

2:01.1

Given that Josh Alexander is awesome, the Don Callis family, much like a Mortal Kombat game, you now have to go through every single member. I'm saying that all out's like a week Saturday. So he beat Josh here, maybe that will be it. But I tell you, it was a damn good fight. Pretty sure that Hangman was going for tombstones on the apron at one point, but Alexander didn't like that, so he switched it into an ankle lock when our world champion basically threw Josh Alexander into the crowd. And because it was the ECW arena, good grief, they loved it. He followed up with the dives and put a one on the dive counter and of course Don Callis a joint commentary. So Brian Daniels was saying,

2:17.5

What we did Tricone of Megal last week was absolutely terrible? Don Callis went actually, I think it was great. I don't know why that made me laugh, but it did. But then got a German suplexathon when both guys basically got killed in Barry Barricade, which is when Josh was going for the C-4. So Hang on said, uh-uh, I'm going to go for the dead eye.

2:52.6

I think by this point, the Don Callis family was freaking out, so out came Lance Archer, out came Rocky Romero. And actually, Hangman basically dealt with his fools, like, I'm the world champion, I'm the biggest big man here, you don't get to do anything for me. And hit the Buckshot, Larry, and you got the one, two, three, any one. Hang man, it's so damn over here as well that even though the ECW arena only holds about thousand people, it sounded like 10,000, when he got a microphone and said, listen, I didn't spill buckets of blood for MGF just to come up here and change stipulations, and I also didn't do it, so I had to deal with dickheads like Don Callis, who does indeed look like a penis. I mean, he said phallic, but that was the point. Carl Fletcher then made his way to the ring and talked to Hangman from the aisleway, because that's just what you do. And Hangman was all like, I can't believe you did what you did to Kenny Omega last week, so we really made sure. Everybody understood that was a disgusting tactic. disgusting tactic. He does understand where Carl is coming from though because he has all the potential in the world, but he can't even wear socks. At first, I was like, what does that mean? The camera zoomed into Carl Fletcher's feet and he was indeed sockless. So there's something for the bio. He also said he saw a little bit of himself in Fletcher because there was a time years and years ago when he was looking across the ring and he saw Chris Jericho. So now Carl Fletcher is Hangman and he's Chris Jericho but here's the spin my son you ain't ready you are getting it way over your head. Carl's like, listen good-eye mate. I set on collision I wanted a world championship shot and that hasn't changed. Hangman was like what is wrong with her accent? Given the page kind of felt like he didn't have a choice and also because I don't think he

3:43.8

has another opponent ready. He was like, all right, we will do this. But you have to do it,

3:47.7

mano or mano, one on one, you tell the Don Calis family to stay in the back. Carls like,

3:52.5

yeah, fine, I could do that. I'm so good. I could beat you anyway. Now, as you know, if you watched a show before, I do get a little bit of a be in my bonnet when a TNT champion or a secondary champion, all of a sudden goes after the world championship, because I often find the other title gets lost in the shuffle. But look, AW has lost swerve, A.W.'s lost Osprey and A.W. has just lost Omega. Somebody's got to be pushed. And actually, Carl Fletcher has been killing it

4:15.0

lately. I don't think he will win at the pay-per-views. Hopefully then he can go back into T&T matches. So this one does make sense. It is not 2 plus 2 equals potato. Also, the match beforehand is really, really good. So I shall give it an up. But on this week's collision, next week's episode of Dynamite, We're really going to have to ramp things up here just because at the moment, nobody believes that Carl Fletcher can win,

4:35.6

nor should he, that would be bad timing.

4:37.6

But still, in terms of getting comfortable and enjoying the show, it was a good beginning.

4:41.9

We then got this great promo from MJF after collision where he had screw over Mark Brisco,

4:48.3

where he essentially went, yes, I did get married recently, and then as soon as we'd sorted that out, I said to my wife, I'm going to AW because I need to screw over Mark Briscoe.

4:57.3

And his wife was like, no, if you do do that, it'll be over, when Maxford apparently said to her, I'm going to lead out the expletives here, I've always been married long before this because I'm married to the game. This really was pretty damn good. He made more references as well because he was like, listen, Mark Briscoe, you can choose whatever stipulation you do want and it will be the same as my wedding because I will say, I do, I do, I do, I do. So he's writing the wedding theme here, but I am giving it an up because I just thought it was the best way to take real life and then tie it into fake life, if we can call it that. Also, I just think Maxwell Jacob Freeman is a terrific character. Now, I assume that Mark Briscoe was going to tell us on this episode of Dynamite, but he did not, but I can't pass judgment on that, because I can't remember if he ever specifically said, I will tell you Wednesday, and this angle did happen on collision, so maybe we're going to do it on collision. As always, I shall sit back and wait and see. Well, I appreciate the fact that AW went out their way to justify that our main event party match was a winner gets half a million dollars stip. I don't know what the flub you call it. Because the young bucks were there being like, listen, we're not having a good time right now. We need that money. Matt Jackson wants to buy nice food. Whereas Nick Jackson was like, yep, I'm going straight to the casino and I'm going to double it. Some people never learn.

6:11.1

They were in Kling as well, so they tried to sit next to the dark order and the dark order

6:14.2

like, nope, we don't like you. And when they tried to sit down with old Pam Brandon Cutler, even he was like, you know what, I've been wanting to say this for a while, you guys could kiss my ass. And if you remember how the young bucks you should treat, Brandon, well, it was long overdue.

6:28.0

Go to show, though. They have no buddies, which is why you need money. It just makes all your other problems a little bit easier. This is when John Moxie sat down with them as well and said, listen, I don't care about the cash. So if I see the proper young bucks later, or the old young bucks, I'll give you $250,000, and I give give you 250 grand. Matt and Nick Jackson were so

6:46.2

damn excited. So yes, we do get too many of these money matches, but at least here we tied it into

6:51.5

the story. I appreciated the effort. When it was time for Mercedes-Menei and Emisakara taking

6:58.4

on Rio and Alex Winster, and I want to make it very clear,
