Revisiting TNA Impact Wrestling 2014 AJ Styles Last Match In TNA, Undisputed TNA World Champion, Dixieland, 2 Steel Cage Matches

Boyson. Welcome episode number ten. Today, Today we are talking about Impact
Wrestling January ninth, twenty fourteen. Is is that the latest year that we've
reviewed? It feels like us unless we've done another. If we have done
another twenty fourteen, it was probably also TNA. But right, it feels
pretty deep. And this episode obviously obviously ill if you see the pot art,
which I imagine has something to do with this is uh Aj styles final
match in TNA, ever, which is still, even to this day,
very strange to think about because Aj Styles is tena to me. Yeah he
is. And you know what, this is the craziest match of all time,
maybe the not the craziest show, but it is one of maybe the
most delusional shows. This is a show that made me stop watching DNA.
So there's wow. You know that for a fact? Yeah, because then
I came back when broken woken whatever. Wow, this was it? Man?
When you never saw you never saw the Bully Ray Big Turn? Oh,
the table Spot yeah, the table Spot. Yeah, I saw the
table Spot. Yeah, but like actually watching a show, you know,
sure? Yeah, Well we're gonna get into that, but before that,
we have some dead Luck updates to go over. Dude, I god damn
love the Deadlock updates. I gotta be honest, It's my favorite segment.
I love when we I know what's going on. Watch. This is up
on the Patreon. Risco versus Jay brisco and a Redneck Brawl. It's from
HC dub But two thousand and five, and uh, this is a in
my mind, a legendary match, hopefully for you. Now, if you
haven't watched it already, you should go watch it. But for those that
have watched it by now, led and dary match where the Briscoe's showed up
to a random indie slash backyard show, asked to be on the show,
and then beat the shit out of each other for a ten minute big style.
It is amazing. It is amazing. That is in the five dollar
tier and our Patreon go watch that ship. Well, the last SGH was
Vengees two thousand and three, and everyone seemed to enjoy that one. Yes,
I mean accept us, but you know everyone else like so next up
it's another SGH. You can suggest shows because the thread is up on our
Patreon. What does that mean anyway? I have no idea what that means.
I haven't figured it out. Yet I'm gonna have to work on search
into that. It's forty one is the one that's coming up, and you
can suggest something for us to watch. Also on Patreon right now, by
the way, anyone that's signed up, there's a new collections tab. We
don't know if you're ever gonna use it, but we made some four you.
Supposedly it's to make it easier if you look at ship on your phone.
We have collections for of course, the retro sync, watch this,
sih and all the pod videos, so you can go check that out.
That's hopefully it makes it easier on your life. How do people surf the
Patreon by the way, I mean the only other way before that had to
have been tags, right, unless they're endlessly scrolling because there is so much
so I don't know how long you can scroll for you guys use the tag
system, right, I hope you are. If you look at it as
a member or whatever, you can see the tag. There's like a images
of the tags right somewhere there's a little tab like above or there was.
They might have got rid of this. Actually what the f wait no no,
no, no, no, no, no, no no no,
I don't see that. Remember there was like a little thing that had like
the little pictures, right, And I guess because Collections is the thing,
they want you to go to this thing instead. Dude, No, no,
no, no, this can't fucking after the tag system is gone,
Dude, Tony send an email. Just got to come back. If you
click on the sates tag though, you can still Yeah, but the tags
at the top or all of the John's. Yeah, yeah, we got
rid of that. Collections even though we're upset everybody. Our patreon is the
best Patreon. It will ruin other patrens. For you Podcast number one,
we should put the audio version of just to have it. But also they
said they were redoing the app. I could find the email, but I
remember hearing they're doing the app. They get better, so hopefully that makes
the Collections stand out more. Well. We have the numbers here. There's
one hundred and sixty one episodes of watched This, which is our weekly match
watch, along forty episodes of Something Going to Happen as g H, which
is our long form monthly watch. Along we watch a full show forty six
retro sinks, which is footage from a retro review put together with our review
somehow on episode are we listening to? Oh no, because this is two
a week. No, I guess by the time it will be two and
nine by the time this comes out, right, Yes, it was the
first one that didn't have the first one we did that video. Yeah,
that's crazy. Maybe one day episode number one the audio will go up.
I'll just drop it somebody animated. That'd be crazy a couple of hours.
Oh yeah, fair enough, day forever, or maybe they could do like
the south Park Mouth thing or sure. Okay, anyway, our patron is
awesome, so you should go go there. Please update on the Deadlock merchandise.

now it's time to get into TENA Impact Wrestling. January ninth, twenty
fourteen. I definitely was confused for me because I couldn't figure out if it
was TNA Impact or if it was Impact, but their titles were still called
t NA. You're confused, I'm is it because the logo is Impact Wrestling,
right two thousand and five, twenty three. You're right, You're right.
I was talking to that about that with somebody the other day that it's
like how some things I can get used to, like a wrestler's name,
but for some reason like TENA, I just can't shake. I guess I
was just too TNA and paper name. If you call him pls, you're
a cop. James Beet, I can't wait for summersla pl if you're on
a watch list, yeah, if you play, you could go fuck yourself
real well. Before we get into the episode, let's see what was going
on in the wrestling world around the time with the Wrestling Observer newsletters. You
ran news segny, it was your idea, and let's see how this goes.
I'm running with it, Tony Alright from The Observer January six, twenty
fourteen. In UFC News, Anderson Silva, perhaps the greatest MMA fighter of
all time, was carried from the octagon on a stretcher after suffering a compound
fracture of his lower leg via losing uh in a second round stoppage for the
second time to Chris Wideman. He suffered a broken tibia and fibula slightly above
the ankle when Wideman checked a low kick, essentially using his need to block
the kick. Do you guys remember this? Did you guys watch you?
Oh? Yeah, this is the nastiest ever. It is It is unbelievable.
Yeah, and they it is. Uh, it is no I've seen,
I've seen. I just clicked on it. I see the thumbnail and
like, no way, I'm watching it. He it like it SAPs and
then he like stands on it is it is brutal. I just wanted to
I don't even have to look at it. I remember it like it's one
of the that's one of the injuries in UFC that I'll never forget for the
rest of my life. I don't think I remember the feeling it gave me.
As I watched a live I feel like, yeah, because because so
Wideman had beat him already and like whatever, people were calling it the fluke
because like Silva would like rope a dope alat and like taunt. So he
was sucking around and Wideman caught him with a punch and knocked him out.
So this was the rematch, and then Wideman beats him again as Andrews itself
breaks his fucking own leg. That was the end of Silva to like,
that was pretty much it. Yeah, he doesn't really recover after that now,
like legit goat getting fucking back to back fucked here and then getting real
fucked Yeah yeah man, yeah, very very bad. TENA News The Magnus
versus aj Styles match airs on the January ninth show. Hey yeah about that,
which would be Style's last TV appearance from his previous contract. The Style
situation continues to be interesting. He's continuing to book indie dates and his people
are aggressively publicizing that fact in a manner that has done for no other wrestler.
There are those in RWAH under the impression that negotiations with TNA hit a
snag, and that's why the deal with them was cut this past week and
was finalized just hours before it was going announced Over the weekend. Rwach and
Styles are talking about more dates on him going forward, and Styles give the
indication Teddy planned to work more for them this year. He's also got dialogue
going on, starting in Japan in a few months. It doesn't appear there
isn't any particular strong about WWE. He know that ww suspending so much on
their new performance center. They're looking to develop their own talent there. He
didn't indicate this was a direction he was expecting to go. So we'll talk
obviously more about AJ leaving TNA here. But I guess in my mind I
thought it was way like I thought AJ leaving, like everyone knew why and
it was just this was it and then he was gone. But there's still
impressions that he's going to resign here. Yeah, there was like a lot
of nobody really knew what was going on. Did he work dates unsigned?
So I think I think so. Yeah, I think so because he was
because I think this was an unsigned date too. Was just like it might
have been a handshake deal here. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, and uh,
but achieving the indie stuff, I forgot that. Uh. He actually
wrestled Jason Strife at Magnum Pro on the eighteenth of January, which is crazy.
I'm pretty sure he wrestles. I don't know if it's Cage of Death,
but her he comes in and wrestles like Drew Gulak and CCW when he
sees a champion. Yeah, and I think Kimberly starts. Uh. In
WB news, Eddie Edwards and Davy Richards won't be back at the next NXC
tapings and aren't going to be offered a contract. The basic gist of the
situation was that Triple H didn't want to sign them after the tryout camp because
of their size. The feeling is that they are loaded with guys who aren't
big who can go, so the mentality is that they're looking for guys who
can headline wrestle media in five or ten years out of these camps. When
I'm lying, I love to lie forever. The problem with that at first
is a w B also didn't want them on anybody else's TV past the commitments
they already had with r H until the end of the year. But after
the first taping, Triple H made a decision not to sign them. There
were stories out there that it was because of the match with the Ascension,
which I think you guys have seen. I have seen it. If you
haven't seen this yet, the American Wolves had a match ascension. Yeah,
oh yeah, American Pipiles, that's right. Yeah, and then the matchup
was a spot where Davy Richards lands on his head. I'm pretty sure supposedly
the REFF told him to go home under the orders from Triple H in the
back. They did go home, but not right away. Melton says he
doesn't know if that had anything to do with the decision not to sign them.
Uh so, yeah, the the American Wolves at one time or another
was also going to be in that crop of guys that God pulled up from
the Indies and went to NXT. UH when NXT was just about to start
rocking. Yeah, that's right. James Storm does come in right for Yeah,
they do ye a minute. Yeah, Robert Rude is actually still there.
Surprisingly. I don't know someone's going out of there, man, I
haven't seen some he I think he did get intertoning me. I think he
was like producing something like he's a like super injury, like they wanted him
to retire or something. I mean that's yeah, yeah, I assume I
hope that I actually know sur take it back. Yeah, he should probably
just stay there, like you know what, collect bro, And to be
honest with you, like Rude was such like a story. He's like a
he's a guy you built a company around type wrestler, like you know what
I mean. So like and there's not many companies out there that could use
him or do anything with them like that. So yeah, you know,
Sam w that's cool. I am sad that he fucking they didn't do jackass
dog shit with this guy. They tried in n XT and then that was
like it that was like after that, it was like, ah, well
we got a guy on a roster. His ass could have went straight from
TNA and been in a few of Randy Orton immediately, like you know what
I mean, like yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, how much he
the experience? Why there wasn't really much more to learn for the guy.
He was fucking Taylor mate, Dude, when he left TA he was going
to WB. It was like, this guy's gonna be the world champion.
Let there's no way this guy doesn't like you know what I mean, He's
failed for this ship. Dude. I wonder if that theme song heard him
it is WW one because he just came like the glorious thing. Yeah,
it's kind of sucked because dude, I remember, I remember the general consisus
was like, he'll be on TV like he's not even gonna he's a star.
He's not sitting in XT for anything. You know what I mean?
Trip, He said, you look way too much like me. You look
way too much like me. Too many in my moves start having then if
it's a t KO, you are not going to do you remember when I
think it was impact, Like they had footage left over of Rude from his
run there it was GFW. Was it GFW? It was GFW, and
and they aired it and said he came from an XT. He's to make
ship to make his stigma. That is awesome. Yeah, it's crazy different
era. One thing I put here just because I thought it was interesting with
the timing of certain events these days. See him. Punk got people talking
on Twitter when somebody complimented him on a good match, he said, I
don't know how many of these I have left in me. Punk has talked
about retiring young from wrestling. A number of people after him to Jack perryot
a little fight back beat these guys up Twitter. Doesn't like I didn't push
Bob Rude Crime River. He's gonna light to I'll show you I wrestled trust
his pain. That would be awesome. Yeah, so number a number of
people noticed the Punk talks of leaving when he gets frustrated, but that feeling
is he won't at least now. It's very interesting how some things just never
change. You're right. Take me to the son of a pitch Jack just
talk tv TA News regarding Jeff Jarrett, who I think had just left around
this time. Around this time, there's a ton of speculation going around that
he will be starting up his own promotion, as far as speaking of James
Yeah promotion, as far as whether it will be with Toby Keith, who
was looking to buy TNA. Meltzer says he doesn't know. I don't remember
Toby Keith. I remember buying it. We're like so high. Yeah you're
right, Tony, I remember that being one of the one of the big
Yeah. Yeah. They just want to get out of there, just like
this ain't happen. Yeah, it says the talks of Keith buying team,
and it came very close, as noted months back, actually closer than anyone
knows, but talk in that direction to here's to be dead. At this
time, there was talk something would be announced this week from Jarrett. But
from what I've been told, there's nothing to be annunced at this point.
Well, GFW gets announced in April of twenty fourteen, so it is right
around the corner that this starts. Uh, And how long is gfw's run.
They have one taping, one amp taping, and they do some house
shows. Now they do some house shows. Yeah, they do like baseball
field shows. I went to a baseball show off whatever. Yeah, the
Good talked about this right, maybe not remember the card. It was The
Good Brothers. Yeah, Dugan was on it. He he just had a
two by four. That's all Bollywood boys on there base Bollywood boys. They
probably the Good Brothers or some Oh maybe was Cody there yet, Jarrett was
there, but I don't think Cody was. Cody was only there for the
TV. Sanjay might have been there. I'm not sure he was in the
next gin they all this, Yeah he had probably I think it was the
first champ right. That was the GFW got Josh Barnett. It was a
commentator. I've never spied the way. So the GFW gold thing, I
don't know if I've ever met one person that said that they like tried to
buy any of that. I don't wish I got it on that me too,
just for the just because I don't know why I didn't have a podcast
sad years later. It wasn't even like GFW. It was like another gold
company that was just selling it for Jeff. Oh really, so they was
just them licensing general name or whatever. Yeah, you would you'd get a
you'd get a video color or an autograph from Jeff Jarrett or something. What
was that like a guitar. Oh, oh, if you bought the gold,
okay, you get the guitar. Oh that's yeah, So GFW.
You know what's crazy. It's like they were just so dead set on just
doing like they need a TV and they need to do this and that and
that and this. They could have just been like like they could have just
done solid indie shows for a while and then like we then work towards a
TV deal or something. Yeah, they're so dead set on like contracts and
being TV and shit. It's like, dude, you have like Jeff Jarret
running this ship, like you could you can make some good money just doing
like indies with these guys that aren't signed anywhere. Maybe they're signed a fucking
TNA or something, but like TENA will let you use them. You're Jeff
Jarrett, you know what I mean. You're not gonna say fucking no.
I mean, yeah, they didn't have them on like hard, hard contracts
anyway. Imagine those dudes were probably doing indies for the most part. Anyway.
It's so funny that you say that, James, because I swear we
just had the discussion about the fucking x WF two and yeah, yeah,
like you just they're like a visionary that like can see pass. Like obviously
that's probably the goal is to get there, but maybe, like Jared also
was like I did this for you know, twenty years of my fucking life.
You know, Yeah, maybe maybe I don't want to redo it,
Like we should be able to just get it right off the rip, and
if we can't fuck it, that's probably more so where it landed. It
was like if we can't get it out the gate, then like, yeah,
why bother, it's not I've already been through this song and dance before.
I'm not doing it again. You don't want to put in the miles
And he gets right back into TNA not sow he was actually Yeah, they
were actually like Teddy in like the middle of it, so like it was
this weird thing where it was like pagged and also GFW and they put stickers
on the belts and ship dude, and then they had like the because they're
going through like TV deals, they had anthem and then like the anthem owl
thing and then the impact owl logo remember that, and over the place.
Yeah, and then it went to like the did it into the green ropes
but there was still an impact logo. Yeah. Andrever was working there that
time too. I forgot about that and h and yeah man, and like
they they were like in the middle of this transition. But on TV.
It was like a takeover angle. Yes, right, yeah, Alberto al
Patron was like the head of GFW something. Lady Tapa and Congo Kong are
taking over this company. In this company, dude, I had I swear
I don't want to go to crazy because working on a review it obviously,
when I saw Lady Top on this show, I thought my brain was gonna
explode. This was an unlogged fucking w right, like that's what you came
from or ten A first? No, she was first, and then she
joined GFWO and Cody was defending the next gen GFW title. Moose broke.
Come on, Jared, we'll bring it back with you. Let's give one
more try wet all right from a couple more things You're observer from January twentieth,
twenty fourteen. Around this time was when I guess a lot of that
Jesse Sorenson stuff was going down. I don't know how many. Yeah,
So Jesse Sorenson was signed to TNA. He was a good signed to TNA.
He, as James said, broke his neck on I'm pretty sure it
was on TV, right, it was on TV. So Jesse Sorenson did
an interview with high spots, and he says that most of this has come
out. Among the things he has said that after the accident in hospital,
his mother was freaking out of her medical bills, and Dixie Carter assured her
in front of everyone that she would not have to worry about money, and
she said, as long as I have a company, you'll always have a
job to Jesse. So thats, of course kids fired, which is yet
a promise you're not getting even promise you I'll be friends with you tomorrow,
Johnny, come on. Melzer says that a key point is that key decisions
as far as financial prudence were made by Janice Carter, which is Dixie Carter's
mom, while while Dixie was the president running things, this decision may have
been out of her hands. Uh And Jesse says that the only way out
from the huge bills was his mother filing for bankruptcy. Teena's response was to
give him a job and product that he said paid decently, but he said
it wasn't a lot of money compared to guys like Hogan, which is a
funny thing that want, of course it's not. Why don't you start slaming
some giants, brother, and maybe Janison. Who the hell is Jesse?
Who Jesse Jorison? Jeniceis ever Beat? What for one? Janice Carter is?
How janis Jannis Carter? The name abysses weapon after Janie Carter? Oh?
Probably what the fuck? I first time I ever heard of Janis?
By the way, janis Jiceison. This guy rebeat. You can go to
GFW for care. It's not like it's grade. Jennie Carter hasn't worked in
a year. What happened? You can't ever imagine get cash. You can
have a good machine, but I don't want to tell you, brother,
you're out of here. You got the next division. Dude, dude,
this is one hundred percent. One day did this? This was the discussion.
He also said that t NA seems stunned by the massive Dude, I
don't know what. I've never seen him here, brother, keep my name,
but it was fucking I promise, I promise you if he ever comes
here here, dude, he's not working here, I'll tell you that I'm
going to break his fucking joy is already broken on your show. That I
must have seen him here. Brother, that was me that did it.
I'm lying. I don't know why I'm lying, dude, died. No,
I'm lying. I'm lying. That's my value. His neck just got
hurt. Well. TNA was surprised, stunned by the massive negative reaction from
him being fired, and then after they were bombarded with negative What the fuck
you, dude, that's why Dixie's running, That's why I said, why
you worked there? I dare you. I'll put fifty thousand dollars in a
line if you want to kid cash one match with Jack Cash. Brother.
They were surprised that reaction. Yes, and Dixie called him and asked if
they could release a joint statement saying that the release was one amicable and he
asked to be let go to pursue other things. He wouldn't agree to this
and just told her she should let it blow over. And then his mother
was furious at Dixie for even making that call and asking, so he fired
him and said he can you tell people that you wanted to leave. You
have a job for life. Well you are doing, brother, And even
Saturday News James Jay Bradley was released from In fact, rest have it if
it's done. Jay Bradley is run is over. I can't believe run.
Yeah, I mean he had all those matches. The food stick. Yeah,
you're right, Well he came back is shamous. No, no,
dude, he was Ridge Holland. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. Yeah,
yeah, sorry. B Now he's the he's fucking Odyle from h and
last piece. I was two more things here w B news regarding Bill Goldberg
face in right Back at WrestleMania. The situation is unchanged now or back sadly
because they're supposed to wrestle now. Still they should have wrestled, that's right.
It is said to be close to a dead deal because they are far
apart on money, but it's not completely dead. So there was real discussions
about Goldberg facing right back at WrestleMania twenty fourteen or whatever. It's crazy.
What is Goldberg even on that show? Probably not right. He hasn't come
back for a while. I feel like that's rustling me. Thirty is right
back on this show. What does right back do instead? Right back beat
is in the pre show fatal fourweight tag team elimination match teaming with Curtis Axel
where he loses. Right Right backs was the good man and last piece of
news here w W E is also talking to Sting, don't do it,
Stack, come on getting the fucking time and sheet boys. He Sting did
not renew his TEENA deal, so he is open for when is this what?
Twenty fourteen? So Sting goes to w and twenty fourteen. Yeah,
but he's still employed at this current episode of Impact, right or not.
I don't know how when this was taped, So I'm not sure you're right.
But he's like the idea that we're discovering that the contract tampered here Tony,
we should fucking give it to him. Well is it they didn't observer
on? This is January twentieth Okay, so yeah, well there you go.
That is It's for the observers at this time. And now it's time
to talk about Impact Wrestling. January ninth, twenty fourteen. All right,
it's time to get in to TNA Impact Wrestling. Is there any song for
this? There's no inter He doesn't even get to say t in a Yeah,
you're right, damn Impact Wrestling. Is there an intro? I don't
think there was. U there was a cold open, but no intro.
That's it? Yeah, yea, so cold open the very first fucking thing
when you start this episode up. You hear Dixieland is a place where dreams
always come true. I think we watched that match for Patreon. I'm pretty
you have to take the ladder up to the ramp and then hang the belt
up. You have to take the on the ta ampionship down in the ring.
That's to take the ladder to the stage and then hang the championship back
up, and then you take it back down. And this was Magnus versus
Jeff Hardy. Yeah, and there's hertible ones of these. There's multiple Dixielans,
wasn't it. There's more, but this was the first one they ever
did. Yeah, this is the first. Yeah, I'm sure they did
it tongue in cheek later on, I imagine sure. Yeah. Well,
Jeff Hardy takes a gnarly bump off the ladder on the stage and dies on
the ram because Dixie has her new stable, Planet Dixie. Yeah, I
was gonna say, what is this gone? Okay, No, he's in
GFW. We can't talking about him anymore, all right, fair enough,
fair enough? So Planet Dixie is EC three Rockstar Spud Magnus right, and
Dixie Carter Brutus or Nick All. This whichever you want to call him,
and all the heels on the show, anyone that's a heel is also set
influence apparently. Well you'll see the litany of them later, Tony, and
we're just setting the stage where we're at in this episode. Fucking Dixie Carter
is the main character on TV right now. She is the focal point of
the entire company is around Dixie Carter. And the feud right now is that
AJ Styles won the real t and a world title at Bound for Glory,
Yes, and he went away. He got in his fucking convertible and left
with the belt, his big convertible seats never came back. And then they
won, and then that's why they other Dixieland match and Magnus won the vacated
title and then AJ Styles said I don't fucking think so he came back and
said I'm the real world champion and Sprea pat in an aj on the title,
and then he started looking for Jack Perry. He was trying to take
food of my family. So that's where we're at, Dixieland, AJ Styles
and Magnus. Tonight we have a TENA World Heavyweight championship. Who was the
real champion match AJ and Magnus. It's a Magnus challenge him. It's a
one night only contract as well. So AJ has signing he's gonna sign a
contract on this episode to wrestle Magnus tonight and uh Magne. Dixie said,
this ain't gonna happen, And Magnet said, if it isn't gonna happen,
then I'm gone too. So I guess it's gonna happen. Well, I
mean, you know, let's not rest to you know what I mean.
Magnus leaving is that's different. It might be good. I mean, if
you ask me, it's the same. Yeah, I think on the same
level historically, and currently it's shifted entire companies here. I remember them having
a match where Magnus like respected AJ enough to not have a bunch of bullshit
happen. I'll tell you right now, that's not the match that we watch
tonight. It is the I don't know you were hoping for better time.
Yeah, I guess whatever I had in mind was never gonna happen here.
Oh my god, if that's what you thought you were getting here. Yeah,
when we got to the actual made I was like, wait a minute,
I actually write down my thoughts in real time as it happens. So
we'll get to it night. But first off, we have to kick off
Impact with a Dixie Carter town Hall. Oh hell yeah, she sings her
song. I think it was a Surge fucking Prime produce it. Yes,
it is. It's Impact Wrestling featuring Dixie Carter. Yeah, she for a
walking Come on, that's the what are you singing? So Dixie Carter town
Hall. Dixie has a contract one night only AJ Styles can return to t
NA. Him and Magnus will have a match to unify the world champions and
figure out who the real world champion is. Dixie says, I'm not gonna
waste one more ounce of my precious breath talking about you AJ. Then she
talks about AJ and two a J for the next fifteen minutes. Well that's
understandable because the whole show revolves around AJ Styles. So AJ actually comes out
here. Yeah, he does my evil get ready to fly? Yeah,
he's turned back into the phenomenal one, which was a pretty big term.
It was huge. It paid off the big evil waste thing because they said,
we need AJ's a face again. Please, I need the old JA
Style he said, Okay, he had to do it to defeat the evil
team of who was it? Were the good guys this time? Yeah,
you're right, that's right. Yeah. AJ has kept the leather jacket hoodie
combo here, which is based good. Look we've talked about on the show.
But it was like one hundred episodes ago. I was there when he
turned back to Phenomenal one. Yes, I do remember you say that.
That is I remember watching that and how cool that moment was because like everyone
wanted it, and yeah, dude, it was given to us. Yeah,
and Brooke test Maker was there and oh and the gift. She shook
her ass crazy, And I say, dahle, this was all about legend
two legendary moments of time that you were there for. And that's good,
bro dude. It was like the only legendary moments of TENA at that time,
the only Yeah, that is fucking crazy. Well what about me,
dude, Well brother, you're not here anymore, dude, so get your
ass out of So AJ comes out here and he goes to talk and Dixie
says, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
no words, just fucking sign it. Sign this ship right now. Your
lawyers and fucking looked at this. The contracts one, not only for one
match. Let's goddamn go. And then she looks off to the distance,
very confused, like she forgot her line, and then looks back. Good
agent says, and winner takes off. Sorry, I just tried the telepropter
and I apologized the line. Yeah, So Dixie says she's giving a lot
to AJ and Magnus because she doesn't even want to do this fucking match.
And she says, since I'm doing so much for you guys, you guys
are gonna do something for me, and that is I'm gonna make it a
no disqualification match. Holy shit. Yeah, she says, I will never
I won't rest until I never see your face again. And when I conjure
up that beautiful moment of our last time together, I want you to be
bloodied, bruised and carried out on a stretcher from my ring. Sign the
contract. This is a This is a better idea than making it a disqualification
match, which right in hindsight, would be very, very stupid. I
don't know who would do that, but it would be dumb. I mean,
if anyone suggested that I would fucking hit them from now, I would
hate them forever. I never forget it. It would I mean I would
look differently at a lot of people. If Days suggested that I promise you
well, AJ Style says, well, you have a lot of confidence in
that paper, Champion. You had a lot of confidence in the champion.
Day beat about for glory tooth and A J says, well, you think
your cronies are gonna run down to the ring? Let me tell you something.
The boys in the back, hey, shoot as much as I do.
I got some friends. The boys sign your check? Yeah, well
what sheers? I don't eat. Let's not start talk about checks here at
Tnat's. That's probably one thing we should never bring up on TNA is che
talking about my fucking money? Did they put food on your family? Your
little wife? You may be reading that kids. Holy shit, this is
crazy. They both have crazy accents, by the way they do. And
they're going to town on each other here. And he says, because I
own them, I made you. And in the end a J. I
can't wait to break you, and they just says, you break me.
Dis card to breaks J Styles how same way you breat broke Jeff Hardy.
These people don't know. You don't get it. You don't get wrestling and
the crowd chance, you don't get it, you dog. And then AJ
says, uh, this belt got respect when I took it away from you,
and Dixie off microphone like rolls her eyes and says Japan. Holy shit.
That's AJ says that if Magnus would get his head from under her skirt,
he would get it too. Holy shit. What's under there? Well,
Magnus music obviously, because it hits them media skirt. Magnus comes to
the ring and then cuts the most I am a wrestler ask promo I've ever
heard in my life. Shockingly, this is all he ever heard. Magnus
comes to the ring and tells Dixie to leave the ring. She hesitates,
but eventually she does it, and Magnus says, tonight we will wrestle,
and tonight I will win. Your time here is up, bru is over.
I wonder why this Magnus is top champ, never worked here? I
don't I don't understand, dude. I'll come on, He's always been a
great top champions. Where they got they got EC three to fall on his
footsteps because actually happens and it's happened, so happens today, Because dude,
you ever hear the beef of Magnus EC three? I think they like hate
each other. What why I swear Magnus was telling the story. I don't
remember where I saw it back in the day. I probably don't know it
for verbati, I don't listen to it regardless. Basically, Three like bribe
Dixie Carter like gave her gifts and stuff, and then she like started to
like him, and then he no, no, no, EC three gave
Dixie gifts and then she kind of like pushed Magnus to the side and was
like more in favor of EC three, and then that's why he won the
belt after that. Holy shit, this is that's called an angle. No
no, no, no, I'm sorry. Sorry. I thought they did
that camera where they snuck around the corner. I saw it and then speaking
to camera and then Dixie was talking to EC three and he had gifts for
her. That's I'm sorry, it really happen to study. I'm with you,
bro, I promise, I'm with you. Why me go on?
Just sorry, sorry, sorry, you don'nus I think I was I watched
a Bagny shoot video I was I doing that. I was behind the impact
was a reaction, That's what it was like Global force. Bro Alright said
that yeah, yeah, yeah, Magic didn't know its work either, so
that you didn't understand that the heel getting an come up. It's losing that
part. So Magnus leaves, and A J says that he didn't take the
shortcut like Magnus. It took eleven years of blood, sweat and tears,
which I'm guessing that AJ also forgot that Magnus has been here for a while
too. Yeah, and AJ says that he will walk out tonight of TNA
with honor, ring and of and then AJ says, I'm gonna leave.
Yeah, I'm gonna leave with the TENNA world with a championship. And what's
Dixie Carter going to do? Then, why don't you take your lips off
for a pussy? I say it, not half bussy. He's always right
beyond the impact before Dick All this started in two thousand and eight. And
by the way, yeah, the shortcut he took Tony Tony first off,
they should have he should have brought up that Magnus fucking busted the i w
GP titles. Shit ruined the new Jupan relationship eleven years. I'm about to
go to Japan a matter of fact, yourself for me, and you're not
going there ever. I promise you that you don't think they can say as
on a Spike now they probably I don't know, man, I think I
thought it was take your lips off her ass as Puss would be Plussy would
be fucking crazy. Take your lips off for fucking usual. Don't you ask
her a question for listening? That's also MRFs act styles, have a conversation
would be awesome. You quit eating her ass? Weirdo? Did you add
a question? Why you take your lips off for a toilet? So it
hits his music immediately? And oh shit, I guess the question all the
fans had for Magnas, how's your lips? And who are you? You've
only been here for ten years? I've been here? Yeah, fuck you
man. So I video a package of Dixie Carter's new group, which is
of course EC three Magnus rock star spud in her herself. They will be
a Genesis next week on Spike. Yeah, on a free Genesis thing.
That's what they're trying to is this when they scaled down the pay per views,
I guess or what they know. Yeah, they scaled them down,
but they wanted to keep having like specials. Sure, which is a good
idea, and I think, like I kind of wished he aw would have
done it like this. Like sometimes I feel like they're fucking ship comes out
of nowhere. They're like, oh, this week is fucking fighter fanz week.
I like that, Like the beach, Yeah, I like that.
TENA would be like, we have eight weeks until the next pay per view,
but at the four week mark, we're gonna have Genesis or something on
TV because then like it's you could still pay it off on TV and then
make it keep going to the pay per view, you know what I mean.
So kind of like allowed you to keep doing that. I like that
a lot. I do too, I don't. I think it's very interesting
that they have a cage match on Genesis and then fucking nine of them tonight.
Dude, we this just fucking happened because we the last TNA we watched
was the like just before Lockdown, and then they did cage matches on the
Impact the whole cage pay per view or something or it was. It was
like they like cage matches were like tested ratings movers. Yeah, maybe they
are. I like Tena's Cage two is always cool looking. Yeah, it
is cool. I like it with the door. I remember Sam Shaw dragged
Christie and he's give me give me yours. I remember that, and I
also remember him at the beginning of that match threatening to jump off of That
was sam Shawn was a highlight of was crazy. It was dude, and
they had an awesome music and that was also fucking Ken Anderson was it with
him? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, yeah, they had a great fucking
video for that. I love that angle. Ken Anderson's like a utility guy
because he can talk his way into any feud. Yeah, like the match
happens. You're right, dude, Kei Anderson the same dude, Yeah for
real. But yeah we got backstage, Dixie tells Gail Kim, who is
standing beside DNA All of Famer and legend Lady top. I like, dude,
I was so taken back, Like I think I scared deb from how
like fun, I was like, I know who this fucking is. I
don't. It's crazy we figure out her name, but yeah, Lady Tapa.
She doesn't say her name here, Gail just kind of looks at her
and supposed, you know what you're supposed to do tonight. It's very important
you guys do this. We don't know what they're doing. We assume in
something bad. Lady Tappa was someone that they brought in and they thought maybe
like she would get better under the system, right, Well, you know
she does not. Yeah, she's there for a year. Maybe yeah.
And it was one of those time periods too, where you look at especially
w w E as things that are starting to ramp up on their side of
signing indie guys, and you really just got a question, what the fuck
is happening? Like, how is this happening? Sort of deal, you
know, I mean, can you remember one fucking match that she had?
No, Yeah, I don't even Like, I don't even I didn't even
remember her being with Gail. I just remember her ridiculous ass taunt where she
did her hands out thing. And I remember I had one YouTube video where
no I was reviewing. I was also reviewing on YouTube at the time,
but I remember I did a thumbnail on a video where I took Lady Tapa's
body and put my face on it because I thought it was. Her name
was Lady D Tapa. Yeah, lady, it's not lady. It's not
lady, it's Lady D. Yeah. So the first match of the evening
is Eric Young and Joseph's Parks versus the bromance romance is. More importantly,
there's a live Q and A on the new Second Screen Experience on Impact Wrestling
dot Com. So could someone had to have used this, ask the fucking
questions. I did not, but I didn't either somebody, somebody surely there.
I think nobody was also touting a fucking second experience. I didn't have.
I didn't have a smart phote in twenty fourteen. I don't know what
I fucking had I had. I still had my fucking slide up text fucking
keyboard. I don't even know he was an app, James. I think
this was just on their website. It was just the show, like an
iPad and iPhone back then. I'm still typing, said what's up, bitch,
I got my fucking tech signature and everything. So backstage, Dixie Carter
is talking to the BroMans. Yeah, she said, you understand the important
of this, and Robbie says, we get it. You know it's just
a little intense even for the BroMans, and she says, what's kind of
question? She looks at Jenny's gonna do this and Bus is always sorry,
sorry, I'm counting on you, and Jesse says, we're good. We're
good. So Dixie is talking to the Broman's about something, but we don't
know what just yet. Jesse though, Jesse though, Jess, you are
now in the mix. J Bro, dude, I love this, giving
so fucking much. This is these the goats, man, these are the
tag team Goats. I would generally me and me and Tony like our group
of friends that time in twenty fourteen. We're watching this like religiously. We
were big CNA, Me and my buddy Jericho would fucking slip would watch it.
Two we would all and we were fucking same, probably the same exact
shit, jes. We were super into the bro We did big Rob t
join, Did you are join? Was? What's he's already gone? Yeah?
Rob Terry was the one before this, Tony yeah before okay, yeah,
that was the list. Yeah, the list that was godd So dj
Z is their own personal DJ which said the lights come down. There's a
spotlight on him and he's legit. Just at the DJ boothen he was ziema
Ion dj Z Yeah, zema Ion, Andrew Everett's tag team partner. They
were taking teams together. But ya, I don't know what he is now.
He's fucking oh Joaquin Wild that's right, yes, Cess Joaquin Wild,
Yes, Joaquin one. Yes, but we know him as djay z D.
Gimmick is way better than whatever the fuck he's doing. I'm telling you,
b tj z bur that shit was awesome. It was fucking awesome,
and he says, it's my honor to introduce the TEENA World Tag Team Champions,
two men whose physique's always test positive for protein and fused perfection. Come
on, man, these are the goats. This is legit. I love
this ship. Man, what a great fucking run this guy, These two
HATTI here, the bromance are the tag champs and they're perfect heels too.
Like every fucking tag team they faced was always better than them, so like
you always wanted to see them lose. And it was awesome. DJZ Super
Obnoxious per and everything he does it during the match, ye Man Super Obnoxious,
Eric Young and Joseph Parker team and here, Eric Young reminds me of
a lot of ww's Daniel Bryan. Oh that's fucking weird. Why he's a
monster. I think he should win the title like Dan's happen. It's coming
up, coming up, man. It's like he's the one that he throws
the rate of terror. I believe for Meg three. Oh magness. Okay,
I was gonna say because coming as Daniel Bryan wins WrestleMania and this year,
all of a sudden gets reminded how much he is also a mom.
I'm pretty sure there's a video package they did for him winning the belt and
somebody put that song. I can't find that because I remember if it's so
good, a must that must be fucked up for him though, right,
because he really, like I'm sure he wanted to win that belt. It
was now or never. He was gonna be Daniel Bryan or he was gonna
be husband. Yeah, you're right. Well the match gets started here and
well Eric Young locks up with the rev. He's done that every match for
ever since ever, so yes, he became and before he became Daniel Bryant
sody. During this match is where they announced that Kurt Angle has issued an
Open Challenge in a steel cage for tonight. That reminds me of talking of
his feet with Ken Anderson. We just watched as well. Well, they
get the match started, they do nothing, and then on the tron,
Lady d Tappa, No, Lady d Tappa. Yeah, but he's saying,
day now, that give me what a guy her way over? It
would Lady d Tappa and Gail Kim, you know, unless La Night was
doing it first and then she just did it. It reminded her Lady d
Tappa and Gil Kill alright, tap o, Yeah, so that's a champion.
So of course that is Eric Young's wife. Of course it is.
Yeah, they're whooping her ass with a choking her with a Singapore cane.
You had to be reminded, of course that Eric Young and ODB were the
knockouts tag champs and then they got married and then they're still doing that now
and they got rid of those belts. Yeah, I don't think they ever
come back years later. I think I said this before in the past,
but I still wish ODB would have had like a better run into B or
something like something, you know, like she deserved more. She was awesome
and she was she was a real shiny light for a while. She was
so tapped into her gimmick that I'm surprised she didn't get at least an NXT
run maybe. Yeah. Yeah, Bobby doesn't like fuck with gimmicks like that
too much, though, which is weird if they didn't make it for sure.
Yeah right, Well, Eric Young leaves to check on his wife.
With everybody he's saying O D D. He just leaves the match, and
then in the ring, Jesse uh, and Robbie, you start fucking up
Joseph Park. Joseph Park. Somebody might not know this, by the way,
Joseph Park is a biss. Uh sorry, you know, you know
my brother always Jesse doesn't move to a biss where he grabs him by his
jacket and pushes him against the rope and then pushes his cocket into his face.
I'm not sure what he was trying to do here. So the gimmick
everybody is that Joseph Parks doesn't know how to wrestle. He's not a wrestler.
He's not a wrestler. He's just looking for his brother, you know,
ass, But I'm not a wrestler. Yeah, so Joseph Parks was
actually a pretty entertaining part of this show for a while. I think.
I think the general consensus at the time was that just a Parks is a
fun gimmick. I will say that it lasted a little too long, and
sure a little too much sometimes, but yes, the general consensus was that
this is a fun character. Yeah, yeah, that's right. So the
Bromance hit the bro down. Who I should have worked on that? Sorry,
I thought we alright, we didn't like that. I mean, I
love the BroMans. It's just a little little weak grown right, it is
broke down and they win the match. As on commentary won't stop calling him
dj I on him. Oh that's not his name, sorry, brought I'll
figure it out. So the BroMans go to the outside and for some reason,
there is one extra guardrail on top of the other guardrails here double air.
That one, well they should as long as they would have zip tide
these. He wouldn't be able to get it off, asshole. You guys
really got to get a clue. So they grabbed the guardrail and they put
in the ring, and as they were grabbing the guardrail, a fan like
tries to stop them from grabbing the guardrail. She like puts her hand on
it, tries to pull it back, and they go on the ring and
they hit the bro down. The bro down is the fucking heart attack by
the way down. No, no, no, come on, guys,
except for except for these two times they hit it right here. So they
hit the park is too big to take the bro down. Bro, He
just didn't bro. That's what they said in the match, Tony. But
you know what, the bromance are so strong. It's so powerful they were
able to pick him up and hit him with it. Of course, well
they have protein and used perfection. They hit the brodown of Joseph's parks on
the garden. Alright, true, So we go backstage. Dixie Carter is
watching the match on a very small monitor. She's not watching this fucking shit.
She's watching raw. No, no, no, She's watching the smoo.
Joe comes in and tell Dixie that the boys will have AJ's back,
and he hopes that she knows what that means, and she yeah. She
looks up from her chair watching the show and looks at Joe and says,
are you threatening me? No? I don't threaten ladies, but this is
me telling you that if you go out there tonight, I'm gonna gi So
are you trying to scare me? Because like AJ, I made you and
I can break you that fast. And if you if I were you,
Joe, I'd focus on my match tonight against my nephew. I won't tell
you his name. It is my nephew. Everyone should know who this is.
And Joe says, your nephew, Well, listen, his blood is
on your hands, not mine. Of course, her nephew is Ethan Carter,
the thirty three, the NWA's champion. Ethan's Carter's third And at the
time he was a big prospect man. And they they fucking they do it.
Man. They get him to the tippy top, they give him the
boats everybody for at least in the impact. Yeah, they built him up
pretty well. He had a five star match at n XT. That is
crazy. Yeah. So Joseph Parks gets checked on by the doctors during the
break. He has a concussion. Gary, he could be concussed brat by
the way. Just before this, they show a graphic for the AJ Magnus
match and the graphics says that tonight's match is a no DQ apostrophe s match,
No DC's match nods. Joseph Sparks is being checked on by the doctor.
No disqualifications. What damn Yeah, that's right. H show it all
night long. I said, dude, how is this possible? Because it's
live, it's impact live. Just just fix Ita lives lives. So we
got backstage. Eric Young has ODB and has taken her to the hospital because
she has knocked out and for some reason, no one else wanted to take
her to the the like that, especially not Steve Borden. Steve walks in,
you talking about why taking her to the hospital, not to mention the
medical staff that was a Joseph Park. They couldn't have the same medical staff
work on ODIB also to go check on Joseph's Parks. Get back here.
So yes, Steve Borden walks in as Eric Young is carrying ODIB out the
door, and he says, what happened? And she's good? He has
pretty much what he says. He says, e Y says, I don't
know, she's unconscious. I found her back there. Dude, you watched
it on the screen. That was a long time ago too, you know
exactly what the fuck happened, Dude, that was a long time ago,
Like didn't say I did, just sitting there, sitting there for a minute.
That's crazy for the whole finish of the match. And then the joke
say, and then the no dc u's graphic. You want me to help
your wife or your tag partner. You gotta take your struggle, not da
Bryan. Yeah that's what you said. You just say. They looked at
him and said, worry about your wife. You're on, Bobstare. He
tapped into you look at this guy, you look at this guy? Yeah,
yeah, yeah, yeah. So Sting, Stinging says, what the
fuck is going on? Day man? That's not Sting, that's Steve Portant.
Please get already, you're well the glasses have to come off yet.
So I don't know who it is. Could be anybody, could be any
could be certain. Sting says, this has gotta be Dixie Carter's doing,
and he runs out yelling Dixie. So now it's time for James Storm and
Gunner town Hall. Why dude, this has gotta be the worst team in
TNA history. There's got there's a there's a lot of bad teams, and
this has gotta be right up. This is up there all time. Him
comparing this team to his other teams makes me so. James Storm calls out
his partner Gunner because Gunner won the world heavyweight title. Feast or fire Case.
Gunner just retired, by the way, hear this. Have you seen
this? Yeah, he was a convention. He burned his boots. Jave
Storm, James Storr has Gunner out here, and Gunner of course no last
name, just Gunner, James, he's Gunner Gunner, actually gunners last name
Matt gun So Storm said, is that you know? The world heavyweight title
tears apart tag teams. It happened to AMW, it happened to beer money,
and of course my third best tag team of James Storm and Gunner's gonna
happen. He's gonna better ones broke come on, yeah, no team with
somebody else that's better than this, dude. Well, Gunner says, yeah,
you know what, You're right, and I'm gonna let it. I'm
gonna let it destroy this dad. I want this got damn Feasta fired,
Briefcase win a bitch, I won the match. Yeah, yeah, fuck
you man. So last week, James Storm superkick Gunner because Kurt Angle picked
him to team with him. Yeah, that is fucking funny as hell.
Green Angle wanted to team with Gunners. So James Storm beat up Gunner.
So Gunner says that I'm gonna keep the Feaster Fire briefcase and then James Story
says, no the fuck you're not. He said, what you're gonna do
because you're gonna hang that briefcase back up and we're gonna have another Feast or
Fired match between us? Yeah, yeah, what do you say? And
then he extends his hand out. Gunner puts the briefcase down. He just
shakes his hand. He says, yeah, yeah, why the fuck,
why is he agreeing to this? Is not having that fucking match. I'll
tell you that. Fucking wait, why would you like any crowd? Crowd
is also fucking very confused. One. They don't want to see James Storm
versus Gunner in any capacity, no way too. They don't want to watch
on a pole match again. They don't want to see another one of these
matches with Gunner Gunners match man, yeah, man, come on man,
yeah, they are they are they The reaction to this is so funny because
he says, you should hang it up there and we'll do it again one
on one and the crowd just said, I are you so? Yeah,
I guess we'll get that match. I'm sure it's a banger. No.
EC three attacks Samoa Joe backstage. Yeah, just it comes right from the
ECF running up behind Joe and punching them in the back, and we get
Samoa Joe versus EC three. Yeah. They brawl into the stage and then
come back from commercial and they're fighting down in the ring, bell rings.
Joe throws EC three in the ring and they start the fucking match. EC
three smashes Joe's face into the ring mat and yells out and day T and
A at this point is in like historic stages of having their guys do absolutely
nothing to get to the angle. This is legit a means to an end
this match, yea, which is crazy because Joe could have easily had a
pretty good match with this guy. I imagine like if they Joe in T
shirt is not having a good match on purpose this guy, I'm not resigning
here, AJ's leaving. Yeah, I'm not helping you. So rock Stars
Spud runs down, he holds Joe's leg. Get used to this, Yeah,
rock Stars Spuds a big part of this show, by the way,
Joe then goes after rock Star Spud, legendary fucking heavyweight god of wrestling is
distracted by rock Stars Spud. Rock Star Spud is Drake Maverick by the way
those might know him. Oh wow, is Drake Maverick yeats when Big Show
choked awesome rock Star Spud by the way it turns face. Eventually he's for
over three. It's very good. Yeah, So rock Star Spud holds Joe's
leg Joe who's after Spud. Then EC three attacks Joe with a big ass,
fucking rich big red wrench comic book stuff. Were you able to tell
what it was right away? Tony? Could you figure it out right away?
Because it took me a minute, it was, Tony. The best
thing here is that no one knows what weapons anyone is using because they picked
the most random weapons. So I have to wait until Mike Tanay tells me
what weapon is. The match is thrown out. The guy ringing the bell
does not understand his assignment. He's just fucking slamming that bitch as hard as
he can continuously. And I love that. Now that we've run a company
for so long, we know how hard it is to find someone who knows
wrestling enough to do stuff like this is that isn't that crazy? Like I
never in like when we were putting it together, I never thought, wow,
we will need somebody that knows how to ring a bell. But that
is a thing. It is a thing, and it's not only a thing,
but it's a thing every single show. And it's like, hey,
man, do you know what, like you do you know what a DQ
bell ring sounds like? And they're like yeah, yeah, we know,
we know. And then the show starts and then we get to the DQ
bell ring and then either they don't ring the bell or they ring it once
and then just let it go. They leave it. Yeah, yeah,
there's someone's getting their ass stomped out. No refs will come out yet.
Hey hey you so you literally have to like pull pull them aside whoever's doing
bell that show and be like okay, so when a DQ or like the
ref is calling for like a the bell is basically for the rest to come
out, like that's the call for help. Yeah, it's like please help
us in the ring. It's like trying to get the attention of the rest
backstage, so they come and help and break up whatever's happening. Uh,
and like you have to sit there like you going like you can't just like
continuously just fucking slam it. Liked the guy here in this episode is fucking
like it is like five hundred shots in a row with no break. I'd
be like, he's a bus is going on and he wants somebody out here.
He's this, well you see three hits him again with the fucking big
gass wrench, and then him and Spud go up the ramp and he says,
oh, a little wrench in your plans, you might as well is
fucking mustached to. He said that all the fucking TNA guys are are getting
leaving. They're fucking leaving. AJ's fucking leaving, Joe's getting written off,
Fucking Gunner is in an angle. Sting is fucking gone. Yeah. This
is a rough era, man. It's Jared's gone shit, yeah, Jared's
gone yeah, fuck damn. Hogan's gone, right guys, dude, you're
spitting brother yea. So it's like they finally get rid of Ogan. Everyone
said you gotta get rid of hogans they do, and then everyone just leaves
because he doesn't want to pay him. Yeah, damn, it's sad.
It is sad looking back on it. So we go backstage. JB.
It's here with Kurt Angle. J Kurt Angle is facing Bobby Rude at Genesis
next week on his free TV on Spike in a steel cage match. To
prefer for this match, he is having another steel cage match here tonight.
Yeah, he says, anybody that gets in the ring with him tonight he
is going to only see Bobby Rude. Okay, here, back to you.
Joe is backstage getting checked on by the doctor that should have been checking
on ODB Joseph's parks. Yeah, that's Joseph's parks. Also take it away?
Did e Y come back and carry him out as well? Said?
Joe's getting checked on and he's screaming, and he says, you might have
got that goddamn pot possible fracture of your patella. Honest, Okay, there
can't be a possible fracture. No, well, Joe says, no,
dude, I'm fine, and doctor says, no, we gotta go.
Let's get out of the doctor that's employed to help the talent at the show
is about to leave to take someone Joe to the hospital left, so there's
no more doctors left. Joseph Parks might be dead. Odb's on our way
to the hospital, and now Joe has a fracture proteller probable. We got
is in your knee and it gets even worse James. Backstage, e mts
are checking on the now dead James Thorne, a gunner and Steve Borden finds
them laid out on the floor with a broken whiskey bottle between them. Yeah,
so he knows this, Dixi's fall so so so he did, so
he walks away. He turns her anyways, actually kicking the light on the
ground of the whiskey pot on a little fuck. I'm out of here,
Tony. If I see Gunner on the ground, I'm doing that, I
gos call me the boys out in a lot of the guards stopping out Gunner.
Let's put the boots to him. I'm burning his boots on his feet
where all my j Stalns boys were beating him. Gunter in the park a
Lott hit up the second screen experience and be like everybody wants a beer.
Gunter. He's in all the paramedics and he helping other people are putting the
boots to Gunner. It's like a two K creative story are going to be.
He goes all the ELTs. He tells him, all right, here
he is, and they start stopping him out. You want to do this,
I gotta go. She walks and starts put the boots on Gunter.
Also totally all right. So Sting walks out of the room and immediately in
the parking lot finds Dixie Carter. It sucks one door. He walks through
one door and Dixie's on the other side. Did you also see that there
was a random like either someone working there? Yeah, he just me or
only runs off to the side. He immediately stops and then sprints the other
way because he probably just attacked Gunner and James Storm. But we don't.
I thought I got the second great Experience text. I thought we stopped the
Gunner out. So Stig finds Dixie. It says, you are killing the
whole fucking roster. You are ruining to your today. What are you talking
about? Wrestling is a dangerous sport, Steve says. Jose's dude as she
says that, and that is a monumental line in pro wrestling history. Is
there saying that. Yeah, Steve says, Joseph Park's in the hospital.
Eric Young took his wife to the hospital. Joe's getting an MRI. And
I just saw Gunner and Storm knocked out. Who its a powerable profashion Tella.
Joseph Bords is dead, is getting stopped out and Steve says, I'm
accusing you of taking things too far. Look at what you've become. You've
become. Oh my, I think, says I will stop this. When
ajs carted out of here, and then are you stupid or dumb? You?
Aj styles to leave. She wants him dead. Angles it's even worse
because you know it's a real contract. It's real, it's real like they
thought they were cooking. And then AJ said, I'm fucking I'm about to
change the business. I'm literally shift everything. And then Steve board and takes
off his glasses. Oh yeah, there is Steve. That is Steve Board
to confirmed and he says, what happened to you? And Dixie says,
what do he? Doctor phillis on? Dude? What Phil? So,
I'll let you inside of my head. I'm the boss, and i'm your
boss, and you are a wrestler, and I have suggested for you tonight,
you focus on your match and you let me handle the casualties. The
casualties he is dead well. Steve says, you think you're putting me in
a rest, I's gonna stop me from doing what I gotta do, and
Dick says it might not, but there's something else too. Get out of
my face and then she walks away. Get out of my face and then
I'll leave. This was an error where they wanted to make her Stephanie McMahon,
so bad, so fucking bad, but nobody was calling her a trash
bag ho, so it should have been out there slut chance for It's so
funny because like she gets like, no come up. It's ever until she
finally does seventy months, stephan he was getting come up is every other week
someone was ducking a move and she was getting hit by it every week and
pay per View don't even get me stuck. Oh my god. So kurd
Angle cage Open Challenge. He's so sweaty. Kurd Angle comes out, he
gets in the cage. Bobby Rude then makes his entrance with full gear and
robe. The song this song is awesome. Yeah, Rude is this is
him This is the guy right here, This is him for real. Rude
is just here to hype up the cage match for next week. He fades,
of course that he's going to wrestle Kurt tonight, but he doesn't,
and then he instead says, you will face bad influence. Oh shit,
Daniels and Kazarian, Oh my god, it's a fun run. I like
this that Apple Martini joined. Was that a Hogan ding might have been?
I get well, then yes it was. James like, oh maybe not,
dude. So we have bad influence versus Kurt angle in a two on
one handicap match in a steel cage. This shit sucks again. They are
just doing nothing and then just get to the angle type shit. It's legit.
Just yeah, like they heat heat heat on Kurt. They fucking throw
him into the cage. They crotch him on top rope, on his jam
bag, bro throw him into the cage some more. Kurt gets a comeback
with a bunch of German suplexes, I mean suplex counter suplex duck more supplexes,
belly to belly heat heat heat, and then fucking it was like yeah,
like James says, it's legit just to get to the end of the
match. There's no real fucking point. There's not They're not trying to like
really even put on a good entertaining show at this point. But the finish
was cool. Becauzarian tries to climb, Kurt follows him up release German suplexes
him. Moon salts on a Chris for Daniels. Kurt then grabs Daniels and
throws him as hard as he can into the stilcage, into the ropes,
and then he hits the Olympic Slam of his area and he wins the match.
Well, James sadly, we're in twenty fourteen t NA and Mike Tena
calls it the Angel Slam. Damn even that has changed. Well, Kurt
at least hits a yeah after the match. There's just a little there's a
little yeah. I swear I just saw a clipping him doing that like recently,
Yeah, yeah he did with Beard. It was crazy though, good
what ya dude, the yeah, dude, the yeah. Recently on the
podcast saw it was so funny because his face gets fucked up and like he
like gets so excited. Good. That is crazy. So back stage,
Dixie is talking on the phone to someone and tells them to leave the fucking
cage up. Yeah, leave the cage up. It's just do you even
speak English? Leave that cage up? Come prenday, Okay, thank you?
All right? All right? Well damn, I mean yeah, the
heat backstage, I bet no one's even watching this on the morrow. Bobby
Rudy comes in. Bobby Rudy comes in, and Dixie says, you're ready
for that cage match? You got what are you talking about? Even with
Curry? Yeah? You know, like yeah, you know, I was
gonna go in there with Kurt, but Kasin Daniel's got it. It's not
really necessary. And he says, Bobby, it's not against Kurt. Bobby
says, what gets who? He says, staying cage what? Dixy says,
Come on, man, you gotta look take care of business. I
got you coming be a team player at night. I need you to take
care of business. Yeah, I got this. Oh you got me covered
in a cage with sting. She said, I need you very important,
Bobby. Focus, dude. There is so much fucking Dixie Carter on this
show. It's unbelievable. Has there how many segments? Has it been so
far? With her, like, hasn't been a backstage without her at least
mentioned or on screen. Yeah, you're right, man, that's fucking too
much Dixie Carter. And when she's not on screen, they're talking about her
because her fucking cronies are attacking people. They would do like two at most
Stephanie backstages and then if she had something in the rings it's for the pop,
they would get the prop backstage. There's Stephanie, we'll get the pop
in the ring. And there's something we have to set up for next week
backstage, we'll do it. They're too The difference also is she had nuclear
heat Dixie Carter. They don't want to see her. They just don't like
her. Yeah, it's like this sucks. Yeah, yeah in a owl.
Yeah. Speaking up backstage segment, Kurting was in the parking lot taking
a picture with some fans. Yeah, and ov w's Al Snow was up
in a car. Dude, he's a legendary ov W star. He says,
we gotta go to the airport. It's an emergency to close the back.
Talk about clothes, sticky little lands on my clothing. Freak, you
smell my underwears. So Kurt jumps in. They leave. Oh yeah,
well he's a legend. They have to go pitch this fucking series of Netflix,
the whole thing. They need a name there, all right, So
Kurt get in the car. We gotta get out of here. I wasn't
in w I don't care. We'll just tell him you were. But yeah,
also, and Kurt just drive off. So Kurt also dealt with So
Joseph Parks, O dB, Eric Young Gunner, fucking James Dorm Kurt Angle
all gone now, And now we have Bobby Rudy versus sting in a cage
you know, you know, shit cobless and I'm listening. I might be
very stupid here. Please correct me if I yeah, oh sorry, you
weren't. That was you know, maybe, but just doing an unannounced sting
versus Bobby rude in a cage, no advertisement whatsoever. Correct, two cage
matches in a row, That's right. This has gotta be fucking insane.
It is. Well, you know, they can't advertise this because they gotta
advertise the Dixie car is gonna be on the angle Angle. Yeah, I
mean, I mean, who's staying really drawing here? That's like, it's
so funny because when you look back at it, dude, like at the
time, Stay, that's how they looked at Sting. They were like Sting
was just another guy. Yeah, yeah, anything we do is Sting now.
It's just we just kind of have Sting. He's just still here right
and Bobby rude, his run was over, so it was like, you
know, we'll just kind of do whatever with Bobby right now. Yeah,
Like this is a pay per view match. Its match could have made money
on it. It was, and Stay scorpion death drop himself into a chair.
Dude, the scorpion death drop and Sting fucking kid cussing himself on the
chair to lose the match. It is unbelievable. Bobby roots TNA World Tighter
run all the way to the end when Austins beats him is one of my
favorite runs. I'm not kidding, No, I'm not no hyperbole year.
It's one of my favorite runs ever. And we love I like to listen
and don't get me, don't get it twisted. We fucking love TNA,
but genuinely, genuinely, even looking if it was anywhere, it's a fucking
awesome run. He's a great top guy. He'll champion Yeah, James Storm,
the whole James Storm thing was awesome. The BFG blowoff where they beat
the shit out of each other, killed each other awesome. Fucking Bobby Root
could not miss. Bob Roy just couldn't miss. He went all the way
in the champion beat the longest reigning champion, which honestly, looking back on
it wasn't even that long, but at the time they changed that butt a
lot. Yeah. And and Bobby Rude's match with Austin Aries where like,
no one thought Aries was gonna be Rude that night. No one thought not
at all, dude, but it was so hot and people wanted it and
there was It was like one of those cases where because you know, there's
a lot of instances and teenage where they do not strike where than the iron
is fucking hot. Some o Joe is an unbelievable example of that. Uh
so fucking Aries getting the belt off of Rude at Rude's peak, Aries peak,
it was fucking incredible. Option c was still I still don't know how
I feel about that. They could have just said they could have just had
to win, like a you get a shot of the title, then he
has both titles and then he like, just lose it and put somebody over,
because it definitely puts the exhibition title in a weird spot. It makes
it look stupid. I still think it looks today. It doesn't make sense.
They do, Yeah, I don't know if I agree with that,
Like if you like it's different if you have a title that is like right
from the roar, that is for that kind of thing, like the Luca
Underground one where it's like this title give to the gods, yeah, we'll
get you to the main time, okay. But to take a title that
made like half the roster and then being like, yeah, you could just
kind of give it to me and we'll figure it out for there, it
doesn't And I really actually don't even care that I'm not this champion anymore because
I want this other belt and there's no it's not like it's like a TV
title where there's like a ten minute time limit. It's like, oh,
I'm trading in this championship where all my matches are on TV and like they're
only ten minute time limits, and like that makes sense too. They're like,
no, this is there's no limits ever and you can just have it.
It's like anymore so this shit stakes. Yeah, yeah, I don't
know how I feel. I go back and forth on it quite a lot.
I think the James the first time they did it, I was like,
that is cool because it was different. But I think after that I
was like, oh, I don't like this because now this is forever,
this what this belt is. I think I think really what they wanted to
do was they wanted the stakes to be higher. Sure, they wanted the
stakes to be higher because Rude had spent the last six months or whatever having
sting hit his head on a chair by accident. Hitting people would anyway that
Rude. The ways that they came off with him to win this belt is
absolutely I mean, like you gotta look back at history. It is the
craziest run ever where like he beat nobody, they beat themselves for six and
eight. Yeah, it han't occurred to I'm pretty sure I don't remember what.
Every match was bullshit and it was awesome. It was so good.
It was it was good. It was good ship all right. So cage
match was Sting Bobby Rude, bumps for Sting just the whole match. Yes,
Sting reverses the t KO into the Scorpion deathlock. EC three and Spud
run down here. Damn God, damn it. EC three distracts Sting and
the ref Spud throws Rude to baton mister Rude. Mister Rude sor for some
reason the ref had to be distracted for Rude to cheat in this cage match.
Yes, dude, I was trying to figure out why the fuck they
did this, but I guess it's it's just a good heat. Ruth and
hits Sting with the baton, and then Rude wins by leaving the cage.
He's super you know. He does w B chair shots where they stomach back.
He doesn't pin him or anything. He just walks out. He said,
yeah, it's even better. So Ken Anderson is here at the Dobb's
funeral and Durson he has to be, He says, Bully wants to lay
this to rest, while I'm more than happy to oblige. Yeah, okay,
what maybe I'm surely missing something. I'm sure maybe maybe even you know,
James, why is the Dobbs family funeral home significant here? And why
the fuck is Bully Ray hanging out here? And why did mister Anderson know
he was hanging out here? Is the aces an Aids funeral home. Is
that what it later? You know they have a little funeral. Yeah,
sure, if you don't remember, mister Anderson killed Aces and Eights and that's
where we're leaving Tony. I swear the entire Aces and Eights run. I
always was like, mister Anderson's just a mole and he's gonna turn on this
team. And then eventually he just be came. I'm like just a fucking
full fledged member of the group and it's normal. Yeah. So last Thursday,
Bully Ray kicked Joseph Spark's ass and then Spray with the lighter fluid.
He was gonna fucking kill him. He was gonna kill him. He was
going to set him on fire in the ring. He was emotionless, he
had a hoodie on and glasses. He's soaking him there and then mister Anderson.
Anderson comes out to make the save and he slides into the ring and
Bully Ray almost commediately starts spraying him in the face and chest with the lighter
fuel fluid. Mister Anderson starts backing up, He's going like what the fuck,
Like he came to make the save, and then Bully Ray immediately just
sprays him with the lighter fluid two, and then he holds up a lighter
towards him. He's gonna killd Anderson with the lighter two. I'm guessing he
didn't do it. No, he did not kill kid Anderson, because he's
still here. He's it could have been a shitty lighter. But we are
here at the Dobb's funeral home. Ken Anderson walks into the casket room,
and if you could believe it, in the very back pew is Bully Ray
Hoodie sunglasses on. He's sitting there. Yeah, dude, this Rasner walks
in. He's snaps and points. He says, I see you're sitting there.
Let's see him, Bully Ray hoodie. He says, you asked for
it, you got it. Come on, man, let's finish this.
Come on. He's threatening to he wants to fight into the fucking funeral home.
Well, he was going to kill him and put him in the fucking
coffin. Dude, he looks. The cut here to Bully Ray sitting in
the back pew is the funniest shot ever. He's so far away, he
looks like a little kid. So Bully says, if he wanted to finish
this fucking few with Ken Anderson. He would have just killed him last week
and set him on fire. And Joseph's Parks. I'll kill Joseph's Park for
real. Someone might have tonight. Who knows he would be dead. I'm
not too sure. Well, Bully has a lighter on and he tells Ken
Aarson if he gets any closer, he'll pull out his gun. He's got
a gun, he definitely. He just says, you might see what I
have in my either hand, and I might smell familiar. I'm gonna sell
my cock on fire. Oh wait, wait wait, oh yeah, lighter
that's what he light Oh oh yeah. Well, Bully says that kenn Arison
took everything away from him, which is sorry, the camera by over and
he pulls out his cock right in the pussy. That's what he looks like.
It does. Oh fucking god, Oh my god, he's Oh my
god, dude, that's awesome, right, it is so so crazy,
wow, oh my god, so Bully right, incredible. He says that
Ken Anderson took everything away from him, which of course is the aces and
eights and pussy, and he took his gub choice. You're just like trouble
as so Bully wants his loneliness to encompass his life. Bull he says,
he cooked all right, Well you said some crazy, he says, he
we're gonna he says some crazy. Bully says that he took the colors off
his back and he put it in that coffin right there, right behind.
I see that coffin. He puts something in there for him, so kill
Anderson turns around. Coffin, that's definitely a casket. That's fine. No,
yeah, you're right. Anyways, turn around, get it and checks
the coffin. He grabs something. He turns around and Bullie Ray is not
there anymore. He just kind of fell down and he disappears down there.
He's laying on the floor. Now what did he grab me? What is
this? Oh? I think he was holding blankets or like baby blankets or
something like that. I thought it looked like I thought it was two robes.
But I don't know. I don't know. Did he just have a
boy and a girl or something? Then too, and you think that's what
it is for, like Anderson probably just have kids or something. I think,
I don't know, maybe like the idea that it was bathrobes for them
too, And that's how they're gonna We're gonna vacation together. It happing be
awesome. We're gonna have a jerk off, a jerk off and something smells
familiar smell? What the fuck is that smell? Holy shit? So we
got backstays after that, Dixie Carter is here and Sting is pissed. Is
the same phone you had? You said? Was that? This is the
same phone you said? You what, there's a little pink phone. No
the Dixie phones? No, no, no, no, Dixie's suck because
my phone was a beast. I was texting dude's crazy and class with that
bitch. People probably don't know nowadays about the push up. Fucking what's it
like? The sidekick kind of? It was like a keyboard. It was
like a rip off sidekick. Yeah, so I pushed that bitch up and
texts the hell out. It was awesome and it weighed forty pounds. Hell

Dixie Carter is here and Sting is pissed about what just happened. This
is Sting. There's not se Borden anymore. Is this stingful? Face,
paint shirt, sweaty, and Dixie Carter wants to have sex with Sting.
Okay, that's also what I got that either she wants to or it is
implied that they have already been fucking, you know, remember that being her

says, uh, you know, you got a very important decision to make.
Please make the right one. I've got to go powder my nose.
She's she's getting ready to stay. That's what that means. She's got to
hit the bathroom real quick and then they can have sex. I know she's
fucking staying. Well, that's pretty sweet. You could cut the sexual attention
room with a knife. I was, you know, I was. She
didn't like this with nobody else on the show. Definitely, yeah. I
mean maybe maybe there's parts that I don't remember, but I definitely did not
remember her flirting with other people on the show. No, not at all.
I do. I like I remember like there was like this big thing
going on at the time that like Dixie was fucking staying. Did wait for

I don't even Spanish. I get this. By the way, earlier in
the night, by the way, they were talking about the t NA tour
of England and wment something maximum in fact, and one of the stops was
the Wembley Arena. An't no, that wasn't that one. It's the other
one. It's the other one. There's Twombley was not without me. Brother,
You guys are running without meat. Dude. I think it was actually
the Wembley Arena and the one AWS in was the stadium, right, Yeah,
that's a difference. Yeah, well we had eighty thousand strong in there,
dude. When I do well at those shows, so yeah, dude,
I feel like most wrestling does well when they go over the fucking England
because British people hate britt rests, so when they get a chance to not
watcht we guys on the common. All right, so now it's time for
AJ Styles versus Magnus Real World Championship on the line. Uh no, d
q's Uh so they both are their entrances. JB's in the ring with both
doing the intros, and behind JB in the crowd is a fan holding up
A and XFL. He hate to meet Jersey dude number thirty three. Oh,
I was so fucking happy about that. So JB does the intros.
He's got the Memphis haircut. Dude is crazy nuts. Earl Heavner holds up
both belts and he is struggling for his life because he has to hold them
for some reason the long way, they're so heavy. Yeah, why is
he hold people like dad just fucking folded them up. They're just too heavy.
Yeah, now it is time for and we've, Like you can tell,
we have watched an unbelievable amount of TNA. I don't know if it's
crazy to say that this is the most overbooked finish in TNA history, which
is nuts to think about because there's a lot right, but definitely has a
history of overbooking the mains. Yes, I don't know if there's ever been
a match with this much shit in it. This wasn't this this Actually,
there was so much shit there was no actual match. I forgot, You're
right, I forgot what's going on, James, that it was even a
mass Yeah. I thought it was just a brawl segment or something. Yeah.
I thought I was getting thrown out because there's so mu bullshit going on.
But yeah, it is a match the whole way through. Yeah.
Man, So you know, as I'm watching this, I remember back and
go, I think Magnus like respects AJ or something. Oh, yes,
that's right, you were saying this. Okay, I think Magnus like respects
AJ or something. So they'll be good like this matchup probably alright, AJ
can carry this guy to whatever. Sputt and EC three run down and attack
AJ after Magnus spends minutes running away. Dude, it's legit. A couple
minutes into the match and they come out and fucking They just get into the
ring and jump AJ because it's a notice qualifications is his match. AJ kicks
both their asses immediately and then goes to hit the style slash on Magnus,
but EC three attacks him back and they him and Spud just start jumping AJ
again until Sting. Sting runs down. He's friends with AJ. He comes
and make the save. He starts punching EC three and Spud until Magnus gets
in the ring and we go to commercial with Sting and AJ in the ring
with Magnus, EC three and Spud on the outside powdering. Okay, I
was like commercial break, We're good, reset, we can start the actual
match now, right, No, the BroMans are here to attack AJ out
of commercial. They waited for the commercial, they waited for the reset,
and now the Broman's are here to attack ag bro Maans with dj Z come
to the ring. They jump Sting on the floor, EC three and Robbie
are fucking up AJ in the ring. Dj Z hits a tornado DDT on
fucking AJ that gets a two count dj Z Tornado DT with the pants sagging
freeze. That might be a first. It was unbelievable. Yeah, Magnus
covers AJ. Earl is very hesitant. Earl Havener's a very hesitant account because
he knows it's a bunch of fucking bullshit and he gets he's slow counts only
a two count. Well, Sting makes a save again, not after the
BroMans hit the bro down, which is one of my favorite moves. No,
no, here's what I'm thinking. Sting makes a save. We're down
again. We're reset. So we got we got a match now, Like,
okay, that's a lot, but we got a match. How many
more people could they're fucking be They got everybody out here. This is fine,
This has got to be the match. No Bad Influence are here and
now they attack AJ. That is fucking insane. Springboard double axe handle from
Kazarian by the way to get them off, so Bad Influence had to move
on AJ the power bomb neckbreaker, power bomb compo and Magnus goes with the
pin but Earl heads it, takes the count again and then Earl says,
fuck this match, I'm not shit, fuck you, fuck you, fuck
you. He leaves, he yeah, he pushes Kazarian, he leaves the
ring. He shoves Rockstar sput over, which is like the biggest pop of
the night. And then as Earl is going up the ramp, uh,
Dixie, Dixie fucking Carter is here, because we haven't seen enough of Dixie
goddam Carter on this show. She comes down and she is dragging by the
collar Earl Hebner's son, Brian Hebner, the referee. Dixie looks her in
the face as she's holding baby having her buy his fuck his shirt. What
are you doing it for you? He walks away. He's yeah, James,
he's legit arguing with her first second he'll blog out here, and then
immediately snaps, I don't care. He walks out in the ring. Bad
Influence are hitting the fucking total limination on HJ. So AJ kicks out of
two of the total elimination. Sting then hits double scorpion death drops on the
Broman's on the floor on the outside. Sting puts the deathlock on EC three.
Sting is kicking everyone's fucking ass right now. Yes, so AJ then
helps and deals with Bad influence with sting. Then AJ sens dj Z flying
over the nailing a camera guy on the floor up and over kills the camera
guy. And then Magnus runs in and gets put into the calf killer.
So AJ, here we go, AJ cal Killer, He's gonna get him.
Here comes fucking Kazarian grind line to the referee. Oh shit, the
bad Influence. Now stomp out the new referee and throw him out of the
ring, which is the old referee son. So kaz Monkey flips AJ,
but he lands on his feet and he hits dangels in the clothes line and
he pale kicks Kazarian. Dude, that was an ad that should be a
someone team's tag move monkey flip dularry something buckshot. So AJ hits the styles
clash on Magnus, but there's no referee. I said, this has gotta
be fucking it. Earl Hebner runs back down to count. He goes he
is fucking he is blown up crazy. He runs down, he takes a
minute, he gets in the ring, he starts counting, and then bad
Influence pulls Earl that guy. No hey, so bad influence Earl Hebner outside,
AJ just watched a match. He said, I'm on my way out.
I have to see who I'm facing. Ach is one of the guys.
I'm doing this step up tope. He's doing the space Man. He
saw Chuck Taylor almost break his leg on fucking Bolo with it. This is
crazy. I've never over earl. I've never seen AJ do a bad tope
until now. This ship looked like it was ship Legit looks like he did
it for the first time, and I actually don't think he ever does it
again. No way, that's a danger, says Move. It's scariest.
Yeah, Chuck Taylor almost died doing it. So AJ on the top rope.
Now, after he clears the house, stings killed everybody else. AJ
just took out everybody. Fucking all this left is AJ going for the spiral
tap. Because AJ has been using the spiral tap more, he remembered how
to use it. He's good, but rude, bob ude. He runs
down and then pushes AJ on the top rope. God damn it, and
then Rude starts finishers spamming. Dude. He hits some it's a it's not
even like bam bam bam. He loads him up. What is this move
any is this This isn't the pay dirt is it? No? Pay Dirt's
the like flatline are jumping. Okay, what the fuck is this move?
It's just like a t KO where he lands on the other side. Yeah,
it's like a It's an attitude adjustment neckbreaker. He hits it multiple times,
takes his shirt off multiple times. Yeah. Yeah, dude, he
like takes his time with it, loads him up again, and I think
it's three times. He had somewhere the right. Yeah, the crowd is
shade for Kurt Angle, but he had to go help OVW get that Netflix
deal and he succeeds tickets. Yeah he did. Eventually he go So Rude
goes to hit the t KO one more time, and he does, and
then Magnus pins AJ and baby Hebner Council three with Dixie on the apron.
Dixie brings out a new referee as well. Dixie brings out a brand new
referee. I didn't even notice that Ian Stiffler. No, so this is
the second referee that Ticksie brings out, and Stiffler is she's on the apron.
As you said, referee counts. All the heels are holding sting on
the floor, Magnet gets Magnus, gets the three and gets the win.
He is the undisputed TNA World Heavyweight JA. This killed tena for Tony.
Tony, he stops watching this. It did. I cut things here and
there, but I never sat down and watched a full episode ever again,
probably until like Broken Party. Sure, Tony, I'm sure that the idea
here was we'll screw AJ, we'll resign them, we'll run it back,
we'll figure it out. And I'm sure the idea was, if we overbooked
this, it protects AJ. Obviously the match was a complete amount of bullshit.
Yes, and like having Magnus just beat AJ tonight doesn't do anything for
us if AJ resigns because he just straight up be AJ, and we have
the whole roster and it's story stuff which they were shy, was obsessed with
the we have to do story were stuff, and they were heating they wanted
to heat up Team Dixie. Yeah, so I get the idea here,
right, but all the shit, dude, this was crazy. I like
the pageantry of it, really, you know, looking at it from a
distance is crazy. It's insane looking, dude. It's like, like I
said, we've watched so much TNA and I don't I don't even know if
I consider this an e loot and a thing, and I'm sure some people
do. It's just it's it's almost above that, it's almost in its own
fucking hemist. I don't think. I don't think it's how ridiculous, Yeah,
because I guess little TENA stuff is just more like no, Well,
first off, they were low TNA and for nothing, so like there was
like, let's make fun of it because we can't. Right, some shit
didn't deserve it, You're right, but yeah, this is insane. Well
a J I guess like I would have rather this happened, because like now
that somehow I forgot this until we watched it. But like I would have
never in a million years remembered a Magnus versus AJ singles. Ever, it
doesn't unless Magnus took, unless Magnus took like a fucking styles clash to the
floor, hollow point off the top. You know, I'm not remembering this
match, so like them doing this, I guess I can understand it,
and it made for if I was fucking laughing my ass off the whole mass.
Dude, is that what they were going for with me. I don't
know, but you know, I digress. I definitely agree, and I
will remember this forever because this is insane. Steing getting held back by the
whole roster is nuts, and they takes the whole roster to hold him back
because I don't know what's even funnier. Yeah, but yeah, So the
show ends when Magnus getting held handed both titles, they celebrate with Dixie.
He gives Dixie one of the titles to wear and he poses in the corner
and that's the end of the episode. AJ leaving TNA changed wrestling forever,
what I mean, Yeah, look at all the things you can link to
him going through somewhere, right, No, yeah, that's what I'm saying,
Like I feel like, you know, looking, but I've never really
retrospected about aj Levin. Sure, you know, he just laughed and he
wasn't really successful when he left, in a lot of good runs, you
know, it's r wage. Stuff was really fun. Not that he like
blew the world away and he was our ship, but it was fun.
And then his new Japan run obviously is the one that people remember quite a
bit. And then of course when he came in the Royal Rumble and then
they didn't get the camera shot. Well you're you're missing. The biggest one
James that really shifted a lot of people was his first round bowler match.
Oh Kirk Hawkins, because yeah, the worst of PWG match ever. I
love legendary fucking bowler opener. Dude. Boards were still popping a little bit
back then too. Yeah, yeah, that man, Kirk Hawkins never got
out of that. He's lucky he's still around it. It kind of washed
off, but he fucking that was it for him for a minute, man,
especially back then, like you went a p ag as thinker, you're
done. You might as well just wrap it up at that point, man,
because it didn't happen often. There wasn't many people that people didn't go,
oh, that was at least good, and I'd like to see them
again. That was it, that this was a necessary evil. Aj had
to leave TNA. He had to. Yeah, that was it, like
there's nothing left here, Like, yes, I'm glad, you know.
At the time, I was like, fuck, man, I can't believe
he's leaving. He didn't want too. Yeah, no, he didn't want
to, And I guess you have something about that. I have a couple
of things here. Yes, so it's a couple short lines. Nothing crazy
here. But if anyone's wondering why AJ left TNA, AJ didn't interview on
leaving Impact due to a pay cut. Supposedly it was a pay cut over
sixty percent, and AJ says, I think that's saying sixty percent is being
generous, to be honest with you, That's kind of crazy when that's the
first offering, you know, like, wait, what, that doesn't make
any sense. I've worked here for eleven years and hard for eleven years.
I haven't gotten less popular here in TNA, and facts gotten more popular,
especially in the last year. So I don't know what's going on. And
AJ says, and not being fair to his family, he says, I'm
a family man. That's my job, and my job is take care of
them. You don't know how much I made or how less I made.
But if you're going to take a pay cut at your job, I'm going
to take a pay cut at my job. But think about it because you've
got mouths to feed. So over sixty percent or more of a pay cut,
they wanted to give AJ styles supposedly, which is fucking nuts. Uh.
Yeah. So AJ just wanted the same money he had the last contract,
right, he said, if they would have given me one dollar more
on a contract he was I would have just stayed, yes, because this
is the same ship before. AJ had offers from WB before. Sure,
yeah, but I'm sure he wasn't going to make the same amount of money
TNA was paying him more, so he just stayed in fucking DNA and like,
and like they wanted him to move with his wife, and his wife
was in college for something at the time. Sure, and like AJ didn't
want to move his family and like, because that's just the type of guy
AJ is. But he was fucking loyal as fuck because yeah, yeah,
because like they they made him he was right, yeah, yeah, you
know, and subsequently he made them yeah right. No, BA goes both
ways for sure, And like, he just wanted the same money and they
for whatever reason, I I you know, looking back on it, I
guess they were about to cut a business. So like, so they had
I mean I imagine if they could have, yes, fuck, I don't
know. I want to say if they could have, they would have,
but I feel like that I would have I would have cut I would have
cut Haf the roster, Magnus, I would I would get at the roster,
fucking gut her out of here again. Three okay, three to come
up? He's the come up. Yeah yeah, But like yes, they
could have. There's a lot of other people as far as like I would
figure out, how can we save Aj, Like throw the fucking fall?
What what can we do to get AJ? Who? What do we have
to move around? What pieces I'm got? Carter Janet's actually could must have
fucked that company up, bro, he must have taken everything going on the
road, lost him so much money, Oh my god. Yeah, but
they had to, Like it was such a like weird thing because they had
to go on the road to make more fame, to try Yeah. Right,
it's like a double edged sword. Either they should have just fucking did
what Jeff Jarre was doing, just gone on the road with house shows his
ship, you know, and then like have a pay per view every once
in a while outside the fucking impact zone. And it's like they were doing
fine, and they were you know before Hogan Kim and they were on the
up and making money and all that shit. But it's like it's like their
their idea was like way different than like AJ's idea was just like he just
wants to provide for his family, and he just wants to make the same
money and he just wants to make sure like that everyone in his life is
set up straight, and like as long as that happens, he doesn't care
what's going on. Like he literally never cared about how TNA booked him or
anything. Like all he cared about was just like they were paying him enough
to make sure his family was okay, and like whatever they gave him,
he fucking nailed. Yeah, Like it didn't matter because it's like at the
end of the day, Age is not going to have a bad match on
purpose, right, you know. And like even the Clare Lynch shit,
you know what I'm like, you went through that ship. Yeah, but
yeah, and it's like TENA TEENA was there, you know in two thousand
and nine, were like they were fine, and they were still popular and
they were popping a million viewers on Spike and they were doing road shows and
they were making money and like they were bringing in names and like things were
popping off and they just fucking they had the visionary like that, you know
what I mean? The visionary was, let's just fucking copy w Yeah,
it's like, damn man, like, y'all gotta stop sucking doing that ship.
Yeah, if you're a company out there trying to do that shit happening
to get off. Yeah, if they wanted to watch fucking raw, they
would watch Raw. Why. It just makes some fucking money, you know
what I mean, It just makes some fucking money. It is crazy,
Like you said though, James, that how like I mean, there definitely
is a link between a J leaving here and AW existing. It changed the
business forever. Absolutely. AJ leaving was the biggest like culture shift in wrestling
in a long time. I don't bullet clubs gets crazy hot off of that,
you know what I mean. If Bullet Club doesn't get as hot as
it does, like who knows, like who joins it? Who knows?
You know, Cody doesn't end up going to New Japan, maybe like you
know, the start all that shit, you know, no, I yeah,
And I know people think like you know, like if especially if you
look back on it, like the Fergal stuff was like the best bullet Club
shit, But that ship did not start rocking crazy until AJ out there.
It's true, it's true, and I someone that likes that ever Bull Club
too, But yeah, fucking I was watching when AJ came in. I
was like, oh fuck, yeah, dude, it was a huge deal
and he was putting on. AJ had not lost a step, no fucking
way. He might have gotten better somehow. He was like his prime.
Yeah, what a god, what an incredible run that was? How even
how long is he a new Japan? Is it a year? It wasn't
long at all, because then he goes yeah, and then and then his
WB stuff like he came in at the right time. SmackDown Live was popping,
like he gets tracked to that. Yeah, he has a fucking feud
with with Dan Ambrose and they're popping off and yes, you know, yeah,
like what a run. I don't know he's doing. Why a J
one day? I swear in the past couple of years, I've seen somebody
in public with a Y two a J shirt. I'm not joking. That's
like a death tone shirt. Yeah, man, it's unbelievable. But yeah,
this was a crazy, crazy time. Not how I would expected AJ
to have gone away, but that's necessary evil. He thought it was sweet,
you know, like the entire roster beat him up, So that's pretty
sweet. He's probably knows goodbye to the boys. You know. It's like
in Japan with some more retires, they do like a battle royal where everyone
on the roster gets gets to face them for one minute. Yeah he gets
that's awesome. Yeah, like blood and blood out. Well you should,
I mean no, they're usually pretty nice about it. Some of them will
just shake his hand and leave. Oh fair enough, fair enough. But
