@@antonin9238 its in poor taste. Owen fell like 100 feet to his death so when he said Wardlows fallen off a cliff then saying Owen Harts name right after and catching himself with the bad timing comment, it was funny. Made the guys crack up. Martha Hart probably wouldn't appreciate it but I found it funny.
Funny how both times Steve chose to do an AEW review, something went terribly wrong. I'm fully expecting an alien abduction the next time they decide to try this.
I'm absolutely howling at Jay laying into Eddie's physique, especially after they just discussed the whole backstage drama over Sammy calling him fat. Top craic
Been a fan of Eddie Kingston since 2005, but I actually have to agree to an extent. I don't expect everyone to be jacked or in perfect shape, but the fact that Eddie has done absolutely nothing in 17 years to improve his physique - even after getting signed by a major company - is worrisome.
@@LokiTricksterG he's in much better shape now than he's maybe ever been, though. It helps when you have a steady paycheck and TV wrestling level access to doctors and whatnot. Maybe he's been leaner before, but he also admitted it was when he was "on the gas".
For what it's worth I wish Sammy and Tai the best, I always thought they were a cute couple. That said, he's an idiot for proposing to his ex on TV, he could have just kept it private and it wasn't even an angle or part of a story, I think he was just showing off. I remember thinking at the time 'cute but it'll be awkward now if they break up' and yeah here we are.
Sammy has a lot of problems with being immature, thing is, despite looking like he's 22, the guy's nearly 30. He kinda doesn't have the excuse anymore.
I feel better knowing Paige had no hard feelings after the episode y'all did on her. Her chat sounded like they were ready to take up arms for her because they don't know you guys are joking around. Also, I'm pumped for Part 2 next week!
To be fair, those thirsty boys up in arms would be as threatening as former WWE Tag Team Champion Nicholas…or The Young Bucks 😂. But you’re right, glad Paige and our beloved trio are all settled. Can’t wait for next weeks main event!
They also seem completely unaware of Sammy and Tay's social media behavior last year, which was the real reason fans booed them. Even though he's probably not guilty, they both poured gasoline on that fire.
What is said about Luna Vachon here is 100% spot on. She was awesome, and was surrounded by terrible conditions and peons when she was active. Luna deserved the Women's Title and is definitely a legend. Adam Bomb deserves to be in a Boy's Stable. As does the Genius.
If she had Sable’s looks, she definitely would have been given the big push. Sable was the one the fanboys were drooling and slobbering over at the time.
Loved all the Tommy Shlug references here (As well as the subtle Father Ted Clip) And thanks again for introducing me to WrestlingBios Never miss an episode of his "Reliving the War" series Can't wait for the Main Event! [*Nixon Noises]
Ishii is incredibly worn down from two+ decades of a hard hitting style in Japan, it's why he mostly just chops these days. His knees are too banged up to do significant mat wrestling, his shoulder is a mass of scar tissue meaning he's limited in the quantity and type of supplexes/slams he can do, and in general is really reliant on the residual good will of fans who remember what he used to be.
His G1 match with Omega (the most famous one, can’t remember what year) is legit one of the best matches I’ve ever seen. He’d be my bottom boy if he wasn’t way too talented/respected
"If you have a problem with me, take it up with me." *The Elite take it up with him* Punk starts swinging and his buddy bites someone. sounds about Punk

@@SplitGoose I keep seeing this thing about the Elite spreading lies to dirt sheets but I've never seen any proof to support it other than them showing Colt for a split second on BTE but they didn't say anything. Is there a link showing they did this? Honestly asking.
btw jay - action bronson, the rapper you quickly mentioned, is a legit MASSIVE old school wwf/ECW mark (someone actually found a teenage him in the crowd in one of the ECW tapings that is on the network) and has about 1000 great wrestling references in his lyrics. some of my favorites: "you try to fuck with Bronsolini, it's a crucial calling / Guaranteed you're gonna lose just like the Brooklyn brawler(from “Nordic Wind”) "Yo, pop, sniff confetti for the toast / Dropkicks like Janetty off the ropes" (from "intercontinental champion") "“I’m known for cooking meat, cooking beats, and wildin’ like I’m Booker T,” (from “T.K.O.”) he also has a song that primarily samples the Ron Simmonds "DAMN" and his nickname is bam bam primarily because of his resemblence to biggalow. he's also got a hilarious personality and some TV shows, one of which is literally just him smoking weed and watching the show "ancient aliens" - which included an episode with sabu and RVD that was destined to be a wrestling is awesome segment.
@@vicentenavarro5494 he literally has a song called “The Rockers” which uses basically the same bar repeated as the hook - “hit you with the drop kick, Marty Janetty”. Safe to say that marty is in bronsons boy stable
Now they realy only have 7, thats not much at all. As long as it stays that way. I realy dont know why people count the RoH titles together with the AEw titles.
@@henriklarssen1331 No I don't count them, because NJPW is a show that is actually active and separate from AEW. ROH currently exists purely through AEW and is owned by the same person. If ROH does become a proper wrestling promotion again, there can be a fair argument that the titles are separate. But right now they are just extra belts on a show already overstuffed with extra belts.
@@henriklarssen1331 I would still say that is too much. Where does the TNT, FTW, and All-Atlantic belts rank in singles competition? I could at least get it if they were weight class based or regional based like a cruiserweight or European belt. You could argue that for All-Atlantic, but it even has Asian flags on it so what's the point of the name?
The Owen Hart line from OOC is an early contender for quote of the year. :D Jay is off the mark on Eddie Kingston. His look is part of his appeal. A lot of his feuds have revolved around him being a wrestler who never made it until AEW, almost quit, struggled with mental health, addiction and had to sell his wrestling boots to pay his mortgage. He shouldn't look like some generic, clean cut, bland guy from 2006-2012 WWE (Chris Masters/Randy Orton/Ted Dibiase Jr). People get behind him because of his look, not in spite of it.
@@RobJaskula All 3 of the lads dumped on Razor in that episode. I think they expected him to be awesome right out of the gate. It took the bad mang a little while to settle into the gimmick.
This is an absolute banger of a video. Regarding the title situation, AEW is pretty fucked at the moment. So it looked like ROH was going to have its own show, meaning less titles. However, the WB/Discovery merger happened and now they're looking to tighten up on costs and don't want to do another wrestling show. But they have no problem doing another show with talent from AEW (aka they want more Discovery-esque reality tv). The initial idea of introducing the belts and spinning off to a new show wouldn't have been bad, but now they're royally fucked. IMO, putting ROH on a streaming platform (aka reboot Honor Club) would be the safest bet until they get proper TV. The belt situation is confusing af right now.
@@JeremiahEcks777 Agreed. It's only making things more difficult for fans to keep track of and bloats the show/diminishes the importance of the other titles. And WBD just announced a new AEW show....a reality tv show. Of course that's the only thing Discovery wants to invest in. If the merger didn't happen, I'm sure they would've had a second show seeing how AEW is generating some of their most consistent high ratings.
@@Kinterlude And a reality TV show is just what a lot of wrestling fans *don't* want. We want wrestling. If we want reality TV there's a load of other things that we can watch. The whole 'mixing reality with TV story' is leading to *precisely* the problems AEW has had for the past year. And they're gonna double down on it? Who is telling Tony this is a good idea and why do they want AEW to fail? 🤔
Been a 2.0 fan since Chikara days. Truly a great tag team, and "Daddy Magic" Matt Menard has always had that 80's coke head wrestler energy. One of the funniest things I ran across was on his instagram prior to Blood & Guts, he's driving in a car with his wife filming explaining to her why he loves Chris Jericho. Hilarious. Surprised she didn't drop the phone.
Ah guys, recently been in hospital with my kidney function bottomed out at 10% , a bowel adhesion in which fluid collected becoming infected giving me a fever, and under going a Crohns flare. Watching the ECW, Lex, Dungeon of Doom and Warrior arcs again made me laugh and kept me going. Thank you so much for all your work and am so glad with the new content. Fantastic.
That’s the kicker in all this. People keep on saying “OMG, Hangman went into business for himself!” but in reality, it’s such a tame and unremarkable remark.
@@antichaos He was trying to kill Punks momentum and Khan's next big thing... It's take but it's intention was toxic. If you knew you supervisors were burying you to the boss (that loves you) and your coworkers so a mate if theirs could get a promotion instead of you. How would you feel? If you're a man you'd stand up for yourself
@@SplitGoose Ya but i'd have some respect for the owner not to ya know, bitch in front of live TV a few time and a media scrum. That's the difference between professional and not. "Trying to kill Khan's next big thing" GET OUT lol
I'm only like 5 weeks late, but Denise Salcedo's recording on YT has the correct audio! But yes parts of it was pitched shifted, thanks for noticing! (Also every time there's a camera change that's me or our editor Chris Nies making a cut to keep the visuals interesting, otherwise it's just looking at the same camera for 20+ mins!)
Thank you mate! Jetpackbraggin (who does The Completionist's thumbnails) made it! Been working with him loads lately. Really talented and hardworking dude. Lightning fast but u have to catch him when he's free!
This was my wedding gift to my niece and her new husband who got married that Saturday. Big big fans that never get to watch, and the aftermath of the show made me sad I turned it into a gift
Brian Christopher man... if you go back and look at his matches, he'd have that cackle EVEN WHEN HE'S GETTING HIT. Getting stomped? "ehehehehehehhehehehe!!!" Dude got clotheslined to hell by Bradshaw and went out with a joker laugh. I don't think we've ever had a wrestler doing that and can't believe I never noticed it at the time.
Since WWE Films is always such a funny subject, did you lads know that, back in like 2007-2008ish, Bruce Prichard was working for films, and according to a Freddie Prinze Jr, who was there at the time, carny Bruce would apparently write manuscripts/screenplays under a pseudonym, and sell them to WWE Films, and since Bruce was in charge of choosing/buying them and making them into films, he would choose his own screenplays and make the films he wrote and get paid for both - Freddie said something like 20 mil per movie. Apparently he snitched on Bruce to Vince and Vince was like, FUCK FREDDIE, IT'S ONLY 20 MILLION! Like that was some pittance. Lol. Brucy boy obviously got fired around that time. Absolute carny.
Jesus!! 😂 I had to check this up. The *movies* cost $5M each to make, and Prichard got 4 made, so that's where the $20M came from; not that Prichard was paid $20M. It was still probably 500K total though, on top of his own salary. What a knacker carny, hoodwinking the company. crazy money! 💸
@@OSW ohh, then I misunderstood, Freddie was saying it COST the WWE Films dept $20mil to make the movies based on the scripts Prichard penned under a pseudonym. So, in addition to the $20mil to make all of the movies, they also paid Prichard for the scripts, yeah? That's even worse! No wonder why he lies or is vague about getting fired back in 2008. And he still works there!! Biggest carny knacker of all, I swear.
Great video lads! Looking forward to the PPV and Scrum review! Especially your thoughts on what went down. Just on Eddie Kingston, while I agree that he looks very schlubby, kind of out of shape, and like he wouldn't belong in the main event scene, I also think that's part of his appeal. He has a very Dusty or Foley appeal to him. He's not the best looking guy, a bit of a schlubby everyman who's down on his luck, surrounded by people who look like super stars, but that offers a relateability with the fans that, combined with his charisma and mic skills, gets and keeps the fans in his corner. When you have fans shouting "Eddie! Eddie! Eddie!" chants during a match between him and Punk at a PPV, when Punk was still only a few months into his AEW run and over as all hell, you know you have something with Kingston. It makes Kingston feel a lot more real and grounded, which I think is a character type sorely missing not just from AEW, but from WWE as well. Not enough real down to Earth characters. With Kingston, it feels like what you see is that you get, and the difference between the real guy and the character isn't much more than a hop skip and a jump. That kind of relateability combined with excellent micwork and in ring work, and he ends up feeling like one of the most genuine acts in the business today. Naturally fans get behind that. Now, should he be a main event talent, and even a potential future world champ? If it were up to me, I'd absolutely put the strap on him, or at least put him in the title picture. But he doesn't need to be there. He can still do bits for the company in the midcard to upper midcard. And as long as they don't do anything stupid with him, what he has going for him is sure to keep him a fan favorite.
I wish they didnt release during Football Sundays lol but this is the best content on the internet right now. Thank you guys for never slowing down. Wish you guys truly nothing but the best.
Cant stomach the modern wrestling stuff, much prefer the old school reviews but you guys always get me along for the bollox as you make this sort of thing still watchable! Great vid as always.
Sure he can and I agree with him; Jericho’s hair looked just like my Uncle’s and *he* used to put boot polish on it, didn’t fool anyone 😅 IMHO Jericho today looks great as a blonde, he just glows. Also I don’t think Jay dyes his hair to cover up a receding hairline(yet?) so I feel it’s not the same thing, ya know?
I don't think people said this back in the day to Dusty, that he looks horrible and "indy", because of his looks. Edit: About the Sammy Tay stuff, that is fine and dandy, but not on my television, that's go away heat.
I was at AEW in Toronto last week and we were chanting Daddy Magic all night long. Been a huge 2.0 mark since NXT. Almost the entire JAS can be a boy stable in their own right. OOC just took the Golden Nogger for quote of the year, case of coke to ya!
Well when it comes to 2014 yeah....In AEW NAH...You have an idiot, smark, buddy "boss" who kinda pathetically "runs" the company, has the boys being EVPs and booking. His EVPs are overrated marks for themselves who were only good in Japan because they were working with real talented wrestlers and here their trampoline, gymnastics routines are garbage, the thing with Punk really proved why you don't make the boys EVPs especially when they have no clue how to act like professional adults no matter the situation.
@@lutherheggs451 I dunno, I feel like everything was working fine before Punk came along. And if Punk thought everyone was gonna take his side after his little gripe bomb... he was sure wrong.
“The sky’s the limit for this guy…at the mid-card level.” Well Jay and OOC might as well pack it in for a quote of the year. Because V1 just crushed everyone with this analysis of daddy magic, baby!
Thinking about the mjf thing in the beginning. It’s crazy how these guys started out as fans just making videos cus they love wrestling to having many pro wrestlers out there who are huge marks for them
DEFINITELY agree with V1 on the Ishii Kingston match. That kind of slow monotonous suzuki chop off is just not appealing to me as a wrestling fan, i find it boring
I think that part of Eddie’s appeal is that he’s very haggard and surly. He’s a relatable underdog, and he looks like somebody you can just see walking down the street in Yonkers. You’re right, looks are important in wrestling, and his look reflects his character. Mick Foley never looked like a supermodel or a superhero, but he’s one of the most beloved and iconic wrestlers to ever work.
I was thinking it was a little weird that they were praising Luna for being different and ugly and saying she would have done much better in a different time and then went on to criticize eddie for that same thing.
@@finestjellybeansrawlol9486 His gear is a reference to the ring gear of several All Japan stars, like Mistuhara Misawa and especially Toshiski Kawada. The color scheme in particular is meant to evoke Dangerous K. They’re perhaps a little bland, and perhaps antiquated from some perspectives, but they have their purpose.
Never been prouder to have just declared PAC part of my Boy Stable (although I granted borderline because a lot of people know how friggin' good he is) than when V1 said he was one of the greatest in the world. He was awesome in NXT and looks to have gotten even better in AEW.
33:17 what are the kayfabe physics of doing twists and turns before landing? It would make absolutely no difference IRL--why is it that you can jump off the rope and hit a guy on the ground, and he gets up, but if you do a twist midflight suddenly that move is a devastating crippling body blow?
You could easily make something up that adds to his character. "He first developed that move when he was a younger wrestler, trying to show off and get noticed. It's worked so well for him in the past and he's hit it so much that it's like second nature to him now". There you go, little bit of backstory for PAC and an explanation for why he still does it. Commentators should be helping with this kind of thing. Anyone can kayfabe a punch, but it needs some finesse to explain a Black Arrow.
Adam Bomb I thought he was cool as a youngster - for a big guy he could move years later Sean O Haire reminded me of Adam esp the quick moves and high flying stuff for a big guy - and both were ahead of the time and both got chucked by the WWE
Mate, Adam Bomb in 1993 when I was 10... with a big ol' Toxic Waste logo on his gear and goggles? Coolest fucking thing ever! Didn't take much back then lol. "Does he look cool? Yes/No. Does his logo on the trading card/sticker look cool? Yes/No. Then he's cool!"
Their boy stable is startlingly identical to mine, minus Luna and Adam Bomb. Adam Bomb banged on about the clique keeping him down for years and years, but as you gents so aptly point out, the man had it all, the total package, but he couldn't get over. He had plenty of time and opportunities during that run, he was just as big or slightly smaller than Diesel, cool 90s new gen gimmick, everything! But nobody cared.
I agree that he didn't get over, but kind of have to blame management for how he was booked. He was primarily only featured on TV doing squash matches for most of his early run which I get was the norm back then. Still, whenever he did get some limelight on PPV he was booked to not look very strong at all. Survivor Series 1993. Eliminated by the 1-2-3 Kid. Royal Rumble 1994. Comes out at #30 and does absolutely nothing with zero eliminations. WrestleMania X. Literally gets squashed by Earthquake in a matter of seconds.
@@SakAttack87 yeah, kinda odd now that I think about it, why not put him in some sort of feud underneath or in the middle of the card, something? Makes me think there was something going on backstage
I believe Adam Bomb would be considered in the parlance of our times, a "Dorito", meaning his torso is shaped like a dorito chip, I think most famously Chris Evans as Captain America has been described in such a way.
That "Blood and Guts" match was a little long, but it had an absolutely killer ending. Especially if you're familiar with the history between Eddie Kingston and Claudio Castagnoli. AEW are big on belts, and they're also big on stables. And half of the stables are hard to keep straight because they have generic names like "The Firm" and "The Embassy".

blink-182 have Tom Delonge back, so no one is keeping an eye on the aliens. So that’s very likely
Perhaps the reason all the wrestlers are blocking V1 on Twitter is because he’s cursing them…? 🤔 #crackpottheory

28:59 The ROH Women's Championship was talked about, but the AEW Women's Championship belt was shown.
Jay trying to make Adam Prom happen instantly reminded me of HBK trying to make 'Tri' happen.
“I don’t like what Adam Prom is saying!”
"TRI!"
"Tell em, Tri"
Really enjoyed the wrestling bios reference, his love for Alex Wright and now steve blackman is boundless 😂
You can't mention Alex Wright without referencing the big bratwurst.
“Ohhh, BiG Bratwurst!!”

a bunch of simps are dangerous to everyone else including themselves
to be fair the only bad thing she said when she watch it was that v1 had seen the leaked tape and tah was kind of not great
Kinda shocked they glanced over ruby Soho nearly getting her neck broken when Sammy carelessly dropped her from that kick
and also with her history of injurys she will soon be on the retired to soon list
they only put over AEW,so makes sense haha
They also seem completely unaware of Sammy and Tay's social media behavior last year, which was the real reason fans booed them. Even though he's probably not guilty, they both poured gasoline on that fire.
AEW apologists
Jesus Christ 😳😳. Howd her neck not break
Daddy Magic was rocking the 90's bus seat waistcoast.

Ishii is incredibly worn down from two+ decades of a hard hitting style in Japan, it's why he mostly just chops these days.
His knees are too banged up to do significant mat wrestling, his shoulder is a mass of scar tissue meaning he's limited in the quantity and type of supplexes/slams he can do, and in general is really reliant on the residual good will of fans who remember what he used to be.
It's the first time I've seen him and I laughed my ass off. He's hilarious!
Ishii has been putting on matches of the night during the G1 for the last decade or so. Absolute legend.

Yeah I miss when AEW only had three belts. Each belt meant you were #1 in the respected division.

If ROH does become a proper wrestling promotion again, there can be a fair argument that the titles are separate. But right now they are just extra belts on a show already overstuffed with extra belts.
@@henriklarssen1331 I would still say that is too much. Where does the TNT, FTW, and All-Atlantic belts rank in singles competition? I could at least get it if they were weight class based or regional based like a cruiserweight or European belt. You could argue that for All-Atlantic, but it even has Asian flags on it so what's the point of the name?
The Owen Hart line from OOC is an early contender for quote of the year. :D
Jay is off the mark on Eddie Kingston. His look is part of his appeal. A lot of his feuds have revolved around him being a wrestler who never made it until AEW, almost quit, struggled with mental health, addiction and had to sell his wrestling boots to pay his mortgage. He shouldn't look like some generic, clean cut, bland guy from 2006-2012 WWE (Chris Masters/Randy Orton/Ted Dibiase Jr). People get behind him because of his look, not in spite of it.
Not the first time he's been off! I'd never heard someone with a negative take on Razor Ramon until the Survivor Series 1992 show!
I think Jay explained his point of view very well though. It's true that he looks awful and it's difficult to maintain being in the main event though.
@@brendankelly615 yeah truth be told I hadn't seen that part of the episode yet and wow he looks like trash. Necro Butcher has a better look.
@@RobJaskula All 3 of the lads dumped on Razor in that episode. I think they expected him to be awesome right out of the gate. It took the bad mang a little while to settle into the gimmick.
I'm so glad V1 agrees that Daddy Magic is an absolute Bottom Boy. He makes my ratings go up every time he's on my screen
If you haven't watched that promo he did in full (the one mentioned), do so. It's fucking great
This is an absolute banger of a video.
Regarding the title situation, AEW is pretty fucked at the moment. So it looked like ROH was going to have its own show, meaning less titles. However, the WB/Discovery merger happened and now they're looking to tighten up on costs and don't want to do another wrestling show. But they have no problem doing another show with talent from AEW (aka they want more Discovery-esque reality tv).
The initial idea of introducing the belts and spinning off to a new show wouldn't have been bad, but now they're royally fucked. IMO, putting ROH on a streaming platform (aka reboot Honor Club) would be the safest bet until they get proper TV. The belt situation is confusing af right now.
They absolutely need to get the RoH titles off of the main Dynamite show. ASAP.
@@JeremiahEcks777 Agreed. It's only making things more difficult for fans to keep track of and bloats the show/diminishes the importance of the other titles.
And WBD just announced a new AEW show....a reality tv show. Of course that's the only thing Discovery wants to invest in. If the merger didn't happen, I'm sure they would've had a second show seeing how AEW is generating some of their most consistent high ratings.
@@Kinterlude And a reality TV show is just what a lot of wrestling fans *don't* want. We want wrestling. If we want reality TV there's a load of other things that we can watch.
The whole 'mixing reality with TV story' is leading to *precisely* the problems AEW has had for the past year. And they're gonna double down on it?
Who is telling Tony this is a good idea and why do they want AEW to fail? 🤔
Amy to Paul after they've slept together: Paul! I can't feel my legs! Paul!
Been a 2.0 fan since Chikara days. Truly a great tag team, and "Daddy Magic" Matt Menard has always had that 80's coke head wrestler energy. One of the funniest things I ran across was on his instagram prior to Blood & Guts, he's driving in a car with his wife filming explaining to her why he loves Chris Jericho. Hilarious. Surprised she didn't drop the phone.
2.0 in CHIKARA was glorious. Need them to bring back the energy drink gimmick plus the BOOYA
Ah guys, recently been in hospital with my kidney function bottomed out at 10% , a bowel adhesion in which fluid collected becoming infected giving me a fever, and under going a Crohns flare. Watching the ECW, Lex, Dungeon of Doom and Warrior arcs again made me laugh and kept me going. Thank you so much for all your work and am so glad with the new content. Fantastic.
The state of your digestive system, mate!
They'll be your heeeeerooooo 🚌🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Get well soon mate, glad you've got this great content to keep you entertained and smiling
Needs more Crohns-os.
Suffer with it myself, know all too well how tough these times can be. Hope you're feeling better and on the mend
Hope you feel better soon brah brah!
Fun fact: Tyler Bate and Bron Breakker's combined ages is younger than Chris Jericho!
Tyler Bate was asked when he won the UK Championship the first time where he sees himself in 10 years. His response, "In my twenties."
The fact Punk held onto a line I had completely forgot for that long must mean it cut him deep… and I don’t think a lie would have done that
That’s the kicker in all this. People keep on saying “OMG, Hangman went into business for himself!” but in reality, it’s such a tame and unremarkable remark.
@@antichaos He was trying to kill Punks momentum and Khan's next big thing... It's take but it's intention was toxic. If you knew you supervisors were burying you to the boss (that loves you) and your coworkers so a mate if theirs could get a promotion instead of you. How would you feel? If you're a man you'd stand up for yourself
@@SplitGoose Ya but i'd have some respect for the owner not to ya know, bitch in front of live TV a few time and a media scrum. That's the difference between professional and not. "Trying to kill Khan's next big thing" GET OUT lol
Hey Jay, how did you find footage of the scrum that doesn't make Punk sound like Satan? Or did you pitch correct it?
I'm only like 5 weeks late, but Denise Salcedo's recording on YT has the correct audio! But yes parts of it was pitched shifted, thanks for noticing!
(Also every time there's a camera change that's me or our editor Chris Nies making a cut to keep the visuals interesting, otherwise it's just looking at the same camera for 20+ mins!)
Great episode, “he’d batter Thorin” 😂
Woooooooo
Great to see this
Digging the friendly work between you and Wrestling Bios. Ive got a can of Coke for each of you
That was the greatest Boy's Stable in OSW History! Well done, Paul & Amy!
Adam Bomb has to be the "Stable Stallion" how often he is chose
PAUL!
I thought the girls gone wild art would easily be my favourite of the year. Now I'm not so sure after seeing what was whipped up for this one.
Thank you mate! Jetpackbraggin (who does The Completionist's thumbnails) made it! Been working with him loads lately. Really talented and hardworking dude. Lightning fast but u have to catch him when he's free!
Omg the Randy Orton Voices bit at 19:00 was great. Massive running gag potential
This was my wedding gift to my niece and her new husband who got married that Saturday. Big big fans that never get to watch, and the aftermath of the show made me sad I turned it into a gift
Well it's always the thought that counts. Not like it was a bad show just the aftermath.
Luna's in my stable too. That she was such a mainstay at a time when it was especially hard for women wrestlers is impressive.
Brian Christopher man... if you go back and look at his matches, he'd have that cackle EVEN WHEN HE'S GETTING HIT. Getting stomped? "ehehehehehehhehehehe!!!" Dude got clotheslined to hell by Bradshaw and went out with a joker laugh. I don't think we've ever had a wrestler doing that and can't believe I never noticed it at the time.
Since WWE Films is always such a funny subject, did you lads know that, back in like 2007-2008ish, Bruce Prichard was working for films, and according to a Freddie Prinze Jr, who was there at the time, carny Bruce would apparently write manuscripts/screenplays under a pseudonym, and sell them to WWE Films, and since Bruce was in charge of choosing/buying them and making them into films, he would choose his own screenplays and make the films he wrote and get paid for both - Freddie said something like 20 mil per movie. Apparently he snitched on Bruce to Vince and Vince was like, FUCK FREDDIE, IT'S ONLY 20 MILLION! Like that was some pittance. Lol. Brucy boy obviously got fired around that time. Absolute carny.
Jesus!! 😂 I had to check this up. The *movies* cost $5M each to make, and Prichard got 4 made, so that's where the $20M came from; not that Prichard was paid $20M. It was still probably 500K total though, on top of his own salary. What a knacker carny, hoodwinking the company. crazy money! 💸
@@OSW ohh, then I misunderstood, Freddie was saying it COST the WWE Films dept $20mil to make the movies based on the scripts Prichard penned under a pseudonym. So, in addition to the $20mil to make all of the movies, they also paid Prichard for the scripts, yeah? That's even worse! No wonder why he lies or is vague about getting fired back in 2008. And he still works there!! Biggest carny knacker of all, I swear.
Great video lads! Looking forward to the PPV and Scrum review! Especially your thoughts on what went down.
Just on Eddie Kingston, while I agree that he looks very schlubby, kind of out of shape, and like he wouldn't belong in the main event scene, I also think that's part of his appeal. He has a very Dusty or Foley appeal to him. He's not the best looking guy, a bit of a schlubby everyman who's down on his luck, surrounded by people who look like super stars, but that offers a relateability with the fans that, combined with his charisma and mic skills, gets and keeps the fans in his corner. When you have fans shouting "Eddie! Eddie! Eddie!" chants during a match between him and Punk at a PPV, when Punk was still only a few months into his AEW run and over as all hell, you know you have something with Kingston.
It makes Kingston feel a lot more real and grounded, which I think is a character type sorely missing not just from AEW, but from WWE as well. Not enough real down to Earth characters. With Kingston, it feels like what you see is that you get, and the difference between the real guy and the character isn't much more than a hop skip and a jump. That kind of relateability combined with excellent micwork and in ring work, and he ends up feeling like one of the most genuine acts in the business today. Naturally fans get behind that.
Now, should he be a main event talent, and even a potential future world champ? If it were up to me, I'd absolutely put the strap on him, or at least put him in the title picture. But he doesn't need to be there. He can still do bits for the company in the midcard to upper midcard. And as long as they don't do anything stupid with him, what he has going for him is sure to keep him a fan favorite.
The recap section makes me nostalgic for September. Ah it feels like just last month.
I wish they didnt release during Football Sundays lol but this is the best content on the internet right now. Thank you guys for never slowing down. Wish you guys truly nothing but the best.
I thought there would be more on Ruby Soho getting dumped on her neck; that bump was dangerous and for a pre show match and all.
Cant stomach the modern wrestling stuff, much prefer the old school reviews but you guys always get me along for the bollox as you make this sort of thing still watchable! Great vid as always.
Jay; you can't be giving out about someone having dyed hair
Sure he can and I agree with him; Jericho’s hair looked just like my Uncle’s and *he* used to put boot polish on it, didn’t fool anyone 😅 IMHO Jericho today looks great as a blonde, he just glows.
Also I don’t think Jay dyes his hair to cover up a receding hairline(yet?) so I feel it’s not the same thing, ya know?
I don't think people said this back in the day to Dusty, that he looks horrible and "indy", because of his looks.
Edit: About the Sammy Tay stuff, that is fine and dandy, but not on my television, that's go away heat.
Them kissing?
18:37 I love how Jay just can't let go of the bad Adam Bomb joke, it's still killing him inside 10 minutes later 😂
In the morning he's Adam Dawn
I was at AEW in Toronto last week and we were chanting Daddy Magic all night long. Been a huge 2.0 mark since NXT. Almost the entire JAS can be a boy stable in their own right. OOC just took the Golden Nogger for quote of the year, case of coke to ya!
Ah nice! Is Daddy Magic getting too over or will he be able to stay a boy for a bit longer!
2.0 are essentially like the Bulk & Skull of wrestling, and I mean that s a term of endearment
The Super Mario Bros. music at the end was a nice touch
Hearing you guys chat about modern day wrestling is soooo good
You guys should check in with current wrestling events more often
I’d be all for it
Once in a while is more than enough. There's already endless coverage of modern wrestling out there.
"Watch out for any trusses": Jay Hunter with the satirical jokes!
Phil Brooks should aks himself: "If everyone around me is an asshole maybe I am the asshole?"
Insert the "Am I out of touch?" Skinner meme here.
Well when it comes to 2014 yeah....In AEW NAH...You have an idiot, smark, buddy "boss" who kinda pathetically "runs" the company, has the boys being EVPs and booking. His EVPs are overrated marks for themselves who were only good in Japan because they were working with real talented wrestlers and here their trampoline, gymnastics routines are garbage, the thing with Punk really proved why you don't make the boys EVPs especially when they have no clue how to act like professional adults no matter the situation.
@@lutherheggs451 I dunno, I feel like everything was working fine before Punk came along. And if Punk thought everyone was gonna take his side after his little gripe bomb... he was sure wrong.
“The sky’s the limit for this guy…at the mid-card level.”
Well Jay and OOC might as well pack it in for a quote of the year. Because V1 just crushed everyone with this analysis of daddy magic, baby!
That was a fantastic line 😂
Daddy Magic is a dead ringer for a young Matt Hardy. I think V1 has a type.
Tony Khan gets his bags from Umbro Knacker.
Hyper! Hyper!
Punk’s AEW run is the absolute epitome of “you either die a hero or live long enough to watch yourself become the villain”
Again “0” days since the last “PAUL!!!!”
I CAN’T FEEL MY LEGS PAUUU!!!
Daddy Magic learnt his facials from Johnny B Badd
Thinking about the mjf thing in the beginning. It’s crazy how these guys started out as fans just making videos cus they love wrestling to having many pro wrestlers out there who are huge marks for them
adam bomb if he was a singer: Adam Song
if he wore a bomber jacket: Adam Bomb
This guy gets it!
Without deodorant = Adam Pong
Stoner variant = Adam Bong
…I’ll see myself out
That Boy Stable is proper and approved
"ISHII walks like he has a coat hanger in his shirt" .. amazing, hilarious, can we just award quote of the year now
I think people are less upset about Sammy breaking up with whats-her-name and more upset about him cheating on her.
@@heftyhugh9086 yeah like the rape comments or the backstage fighting
@@heftyhugh9086 Like him threatening to rape Sasha?
"It doesn't have the budget of a 2k Game" Correct it had a higher budget
They blew it all on the gameplay. Which was good, but they didn’t do the same for Create-A-Wrestler or a fleshed out Career Mode
DEFINITELY agree with V1 on the Ishii Kingston match. That kind of slow monotonous suzuki chop off is just not appealing to me as a wrestling fan, i find it boring
Same here, but I'm sure there are people out there who get off to a couple of kinky fat lads giving each other a spanking.
It’s divisive but it’s unique also
I mean jist looknat the Gunter Sheamus match if you want to see a good example of big beefy men kicking lumps out of each other.
Good stuff as always, can't wait for the next part!
I think that part of Eddie’s appeal is that he’s very haggard and surly. He’s a relatable underdog, and he looks like somebody you can just see walking down the street in Yonkers.
You’re right, looks are important in wrestling, and his look reflects his character. Mick Foley never looked like a supermodel or a superhero, but he’s one of the most beloved and iconic wrestlers to ever work.
Foley's look at least fit his character well. Eddie doesn't need to be in shape but he's in jobber clothes
I was thinking that, Eddie giving Mick Foley vibes. Wouldn’t hurt him to get a nice shave though 😁
I was thinking it was a little weird that they were praising Luna for being different and ugly and saying she would have done much better in a different time and then went on to criticize eddie for that same thing.
@@finestjellybeansrawlol9486 His gear is a reference to the ring gear of several All Japan stars, like Mistuhara Misawa and especially Toshiski Kawada.
The color scheme in particular is meant to evoke Dangerous K.
They’re perhaps a little bland, and perhaps antiquated from some perspectives, but they have their purpose.
@@MsCholmondley-Warner He’s gone clean-shaven in the past, or at least trimmed his stubble.
I'd follow Pac to lonely mountain. Christ on the cross
Man we need a Dangerous Alliance Story arc
I simply cannot wait…you guys are the best!
Smart place to put that tattoo on Paul, after all, he can't feel his legs!
Happy days are here again!
Luna Vachon recognition .... long, long overdue. Maybe the best Stable ever.
Just know.... I appreciate you lads more than you can hot dog and grand stand for... Can of Coke!
YES!!! Love to hear Daddy Magic getting heat!
It's like Christmas come early ❤️
Thanks for the new material, lads... you're the best.
Long live "Adam Prom"
The Boys are back in town!
Prior to watching this, I laughed hysterically at the thumbnail for about two minutes.
Never been prouder to have just declared PAC part of my Boy Stable (although I granted borderline because a lot of people know how friggin' good he is) than when V1 said he was one of the greatest in the world. He was awesome in NXT and looks to have gotten even better in AEW.
33:17 what are the kayfabe physics of doing twists and turns before landing? It would make absolutely no difference IRL--why is it that you can jump off the rope and hit a guy on the ground, and he gets up, but if you do a twist midflight suddenly that move is a devastating crippling body blow?
If I was trying to sell it on commentary, I'd probably say that it cuts through the air resistance and makes his body move faster and hit harder.
You could easily make something up that adds to his character. "He first developed that move when he was a younger wrestler, trying to show off and get noticed. It's worked so well for him in the past and he's hit it so much that it's like second nature to him now". There you go, little bit of backstory for PAC and an explanation for why he still does it. Commentators should be helping with this kind of thing. Anyone can kayfabe a punch, but it needs some finesse to explain a Black Arrow.
It’s weird because Eddie Kingston had a short TNA run with LAX and only wore big jerseys and baseball tees and it was fine, just wrestle in that mate.
The AEW pre-show main event gave me E-Honda vs Zangief Street Fighter 2 vibes. 😂
PAC takes an hour up top every time. Sheesh.
The thumbnail is mint.
Adam Bomb I thought he was cool as a youngster - for a big guy he could move years later Sean O Haire reminded me of Adam esp the quick moves and high flying stuff for a big guy - and both were ahead of the time and both got chucked by the WWE
Couldn't have big guys upstaging Taker with their athleticism...
Mate, Adam Bomb in 1993 when I was 10... with a big ol' Toxic Waste logo on his gear and goggles?
Coolest fucking thing ever! Didn't take much back then lol.
"Does he look cool? Yes/No. Does his logo on the trading card/sticker look cool? Yes/No. Then he's cool!"
:) Glad you got some Tommy Shlug in there. What a week that was in Germany :)
'av ya got yersel any o' them TommyCoins?
We're in a bear market, so we are.
I was on the edge of my seat when his lost his wallet there😬😆
all the love to Smackdown: HCTP - the best wrestling game that isn't specifically based on those old N64 AKI games.
SvR 2006 was pretty good as well. For post-Aki wrestling games.
best boy stable so far imo.
From farm to stable!
Their boy stable is startlingly identical to mine, minus Luna and Adam Bomb. Adam Bomb banged on about the clique keeping him down for years and years, but as you gents so aptly point out, the man had it all, the total package, but he couldn't get over. He had plenty of time and opportunities during that run, he was just as big or slightly smaller than Diesel, cool 90s new gen gimmick, everything! But nobody cared.
I agree that he didn't get over, but kind of have to blame management for how he was booked. He was primarily only featured on TV doing squash matches for most of his early run which I get was the norm back then. Still, whenever he did get some limelight on PPV he was booked to not look very strong at all.
Survivor Series 1993. Eliminated by the 1-2-3 Kid.
Royal Rumble 1994. Comes out at #30 and does absolutely nothing with zero eliminations.
WrestleMania X. Literally gets squashed by Earthquake in a matter of seconds.
@@SakAttack87 yeah, kinda odd now that I think about it, why not put him in some sort of feud underneath or in the middle of the card, something? Makes me think there was something going on backstage
I believe Adam Bomb would be considered in the parlance of our times, a "Dorito", meaning his torso is shaped like a dorito chip, I think most famously Chris Evans as Captain America has been described in such a way.
That "Blood and Guts" match was a little long, but it had an absolutely killer ending. Especially if you're familiar with the history between Eddie Kingston and Claudio Castagnoli.
AEW are big on belts, and they're also big on stables. And half of the stables are hard to keep straight because they have generic names like "The Firm" and "The Embassy".
In AEW's defense, The Embassy have been around since 2003-ish, so Tony Khan can't be blamed for naming them.
Gah, the full episode can't come quick enough! If it's got anything like the zingers in this episode, it's gonna be emotional!
