 What's good, Josh. More Ross back here with another video. I got to give a disclaimer for my thoughts and opinions on a W double or nothing. I don't know if you can tell, but I've lost my voice. I was partying with the homies for Dubb's wife. It was her birthday celebration, so we was on a party boat. That's why we did live stream and react to the pay review. But I turned up and I lost my voice. So my voice sounds a little bit hoarse. That's just what the that's the reason why I had a good time. But I did make it a mission to watch it today. And overall, it was very long pause. It was a long pay review, but I enjoyed it overall. I'm trying to get through this thought and opinions. My voice sounds oh so awful. Let me try to take some drinks of water. No, that didn't work. My voice is shot in his awful right now. So I'm going to try to get through this because I know you guys want to get my thoughts and opinions on the show. Like I said, I enjoyed it, but let's kind of run through my notes. I was able to take some notes, but it was a lot going on. So I'm going to go through my notes and talk about each match one by one. So let's get started to this MJF versus Warlow. Now, going into this match, there was a lot of speculation that Warlow, not Warlow, MJF was supposedly like he didn't show up for like a fan meet and greet. Maybe he had booked a flight ticket back home, but he never got on the plane. And then I guess apparently he was going like it seemed like he wasn't going to show up for the show. And a lot of people were concerned and worried. Some people were feeling like, well, is this going to be another Sasha? They held me situation. I figured it wasn't. I didn't want to report on it because obviously there were still some more things that we didn't know. So I didn't want to talk about it, but I did see it on Twitter and Instagram and YouTube. But I'm glad that he didn't show up. I'm glad that he showed up for the simple fact that this was obviously Warlow's biggest match and he needed this. So I think it kind of plays into the fact why this was the first match because I was not expecting this match to be the very first match on the show only because they've been building this up for months. This has been a slow build and we all wanted to see Warlow following in his hands on MJF. So the fact that they built this up, it kind of plays into the fact of maybe after he kind of went to get the match over with, do the job for Warlow and then kind of dip out. That's that's the vibe I got. Like I would think this show, this match would be like in the middle of the show. But it seemed like he kind of just wanted to do this match and then dip. So I don't know if that's true. We'll find out what's going on as the weeks. Goodbye. Also, MJF, he lit it up easily with the Miss Hills of the business had on a Ric Flair type road, get a lot of good hill. He did. You also have Warlow kind of getting the Goldberg type entrance. Like he's definitely like getting, giving like Goldberg vibes. The way he walks, he's been walking to the arena with security, his hair cut, they're giving him the Goldberg treatment. Hopefully they are able to continue his momentum, because I think his momentum really started going since he started feuding with MJF, because MJF is so much of a good heel. You want to see him get his ass beaten. So they definitely was giving off some Goldberg vibes here. During the match, of course, MJF being a chicken shit heel, trying to fake a knee injury after the roll up. But of course, as he's doing that, crowds chatting BS, because they know his BS. And he thinks that the refs and Warlow is not watching him. But he tries to pull the old pulling out his AEW ring. His tights pulls it out and he's about to put it on. The ref sees it, pulls it off his finger. And from there is pretty much Warlow just power bombing him into oblivion and the crowd loves it. I was expecting more wrestling match, but it was just power bombs and the power bomb and the power bomb. And you know what? It worked because the crowd was hot. The crowd was popping. They were loving it. I was enjoying it and Warlow got the win. One, two, three. And of course, they sold it as, you know, they had to stretch him off, they had to stretch MJF off on the stretcher. After all the power bombs he received crowd chatting, you deserve it. It was awesome. And he got a Warlow going to stand an ovation up the ramp. And that was the end of the first match. It was kind of straight to the point. I was expecting more because they've been building this for quite some time. But I don't know what type of backstage issues are going on with MJF in Tony Khan. So maybe that played into the fact he just wanted to do the match, put over Warlow and dip. So I don't know what they're going to do with MJF. We will see. He is a very top tier hero and talent in the company. So I don't know what they're going to do. But overall, it was straight to the point. I enjoyed the segment for what it was. And now we will see what they do with Warlow now because now you got to put him with, I guess, another opponent that's really going to continue to keep his momentum going. So that was cool. Enjoy that. Next match was the Young Bucks versus the Hardys, man. And it was cool to see the Hardys go out there. Just see them in a tag team match all these years later. Like it's a very good, very no tag team in the Young Bucks. I was excited for this match. May second match to follow up when we just watched another cool spot in this match, very cool. Matt Jackson is laying on the steel steps, like just prone to steel steps and propped up. He's laying on top of them. You already know Jeff is about to do Jeff things. Jeff goes to the top row. It's a swan turn bomb or it's a Matt Jackson on the steel steps. Six spot. Jeff, the fact that he's still doing this at the age that he is doing this at is fucking insane. Love that spot. Ultimately, the Hardys boys end up getting the win there. I enjoyed that match. It was fun. It was cool. I enjoyed seeing Hardys. I love watching the Young Bucks match, even though sometimes I can't get repetitive with the Super Kicks. But I did like what they did here. This is cool, pretty cool spots to get on to the next one. And a J versus J. Now this match, for me, it kind of, you know, the energy kind of dipped out just a little bit. But it got back up with a surprise return. So we're not a surprise return. A surprise debut. Jay was looking pretty dominant at the beginning of this match. I kind of figured Jay was going to win, but Jay was looking very dominant as expected. And then Jay started to get some offense during during like the middle of the match. And then all of a sudden some chaos starts ensuing during ringside and Stokely, I want to say, I believe he was in NXT. He was like a manager somewhat like he had a manager role in NXT. He appeared now comes down to ramp. I guess he's going to be managing or assisting Jade going forward. I couldn't be wrong there. He ends up winning a from with a top rope. I want to say it's like a top row. It's our finisher something. It's I don't know that I don't remember the name of it, but she hit it off the top rope. It looked cool. It looked brutal. I'm sure you guys know what I'm talking about, because, you know, I'm not too familiar with all their moves yet. But she hits like this top rope move fucking brutal wins it. Pins and a J123. Then she's about to, you know, heal it up with with her baddies. Click or whatever. She's about to go put in some work or energy, some more go rogue. And then I believe somebody else. I forgot her name. Like I said, pay for you was all I forgot her name comes out to assist. And this was probably the highlight of this whole little exchange whole segment you hear, like you hear some music. You see Athena pop up on the graph and, you know, AKA Ember Moon and she makes an AEW debut and they all stand in the ring crowd goes pretty crazy. I was pretty shocked to see it. It was cool to see her back in a wrestling ring. She's going by Athena, not Ember Moon anymore. And I am interested to see what they do with her. The women's division could definitely use her for sure. And I'm looking forward to her and Jade actually having a real good match at some point down the road. So I'm interested to see what they do with that. So that was I think that's probably the takeaway from this whole match. It's more so. Athena coming out and becoming all elite. So I think that's the most that's the takeaway from this match. Now, at this point, I have to say. As I'm watching the show, the Dev Triangle versus the House of Black was easily my favorite match up to this point. This match was so goddamn good. I don't really know too much about the feud. And guess what? I didn't care because it was that fucking good. This match was must watch. Oh, my God. At this point, I was like, OK, now we ramping it up. Matt started with a very quick pace. Race started sitting in the ring cross leg like a Malacar Black. Malacar Black started doing the same thing. They started going at it. Buddy and Penta in the ring in the ring action was fast paced as well. And then Pock and Brodie King had a nice little exchange too. So everybody had their exchange one on one within the match. Very cool, very, very enjoyable. Then all three, I mean, all six competitors get in the ring. They say, fuck it. They start brawling chaos ensuing. I loved it, Julia. Then I'm skipping towards it towards the end. Because there's so much that went on this match. So Pock decides to hit Alistair. I keep saying I was about to say Alistair Black decides to hit Malacar Black with a low blow, said, fuck it. I don't give a damn. Goes to the top rope by the hitters. Finisher likes to go out. Julia Hart sprays black mist in Pock's eyes and ultimately allows Malacar Black to get the win. And I put in my notes best match so far up to this point. That match was fun. If you get a chance, just go watch that. If, like I said, matches like these, it's hard for me to take notes because there's so much going on and I wish I could have watched this live. But you guys, maybe I'll probably have my voice. But, um, damn, bro, I sound like a smoker was fucking awful. But ultimately this was this was cool, man. This was great. And I was like, OK, show is definitely starting to pick up. So we have the men's finals for the Owen Hart tournament. Adam Cole versus Samoa Joe. Crowd was chanting Owen's name at the beginning of the match. I expected the match to be pretty good. I didn't know if it was going to be able to top what we just saw previously, but I expected it to be decent, which it was. Didn't really take too many notes on this one. Just the focus was Adam was working over Samoa Joe's elbow. Then, of course, one of Adam Adam's guys tries to interfere in the match. Ultimately, I guess you can say it kind of cost Samoa Joe in losing in losing this match or whatnot. It's Adam Cole ends up getting the win. So when Adam Cole won, I knew for a fact that Britt Baker was going to win the women's side because it doesn't make sense if Adam Cole wins the men's side. Britt Baker is going to win the women's side. And that's kind of what happened on the follow-up match. Britt Baker versus Ruby Soho for the Hartz women's tournament. Women's side of the tournament and the crowd was actually split. People were chanting Ruby. People were chanting Britt Baker for her match. It was it was a good atmosphere. Both matches had good atmosphere. I feel like the women's match had a lot more, like, I guess you could say crowd involvement more than I was expecting. But definitely they were, you know, the crowd was still had energy. They were still invested. And she ended up winning with a counter roll up. Ruby Rose, Ruby Soho hit her with a roll up. And then Britt Baker hit her with a counter roll up for the one, two, three. And that was it. And what was surprising about it is Britt Baker is a heel. But she kind of came off as a face here. She gave Ruby Soho a hand to, you know, pick her up, you know, get her up. And, you know, like a hand of good sportsmanship, which I thought was pretty cool. I was not expecting it, but it was pretty cool. And I think it plays into the fact of the tournament. I'm guessing that's why I don't know. Granted, Adam Cole was trying to heal. I mean, she in his match and she, you know, Britt Baker wasn't trying to cheat her. So don't know, but I like the sportsmanship in that, in that particular moment. Then they go up the ramp and they, you know, they announce, you know, they, you know, they give them their respective like championship belts as like prizes and their names will be engraved on the trophy and the belts look beautiful, bro. They look so goddamn beautiful. And these are belts that they not defend. They just keep as, you know, trophies that they won the respective tournaments. And I thought it was cool. This was this was awesome to see. And they they did the Owen Hart tournament justice, bro. I think they did it. They handled it with care and class and I enjoyed it. Definitely enjoyed it. It was cool. It was it was definitely, definitely cool. You could see they took it seriously. And that's what I want to see in wrestling tournaments. The seriousness of it. Don't have a tournament if you don't take it seriously. Like I like that and I thought that was pretty cool. So definitely kudos to them getting the dub here and we'll see what they do, how they play up the fact that they both won the tournament. You know, so how they're going to, how they're going to play up the fact of they both winning, going in, going for it in a week. It's moving forward. All right, Ethan Page, Scorpio, Scorpio Sky and Page Vincent, which I didn't know was an AEW now, apparently, or, you know, made a debut in AEW. Did I know that versus take? What's her name? Contanti Contanti. I think that's how you say it. I'm probably mispronouncing. Take Contanti, Sammy, Sammy, Gavara and Frankie, Kazarian. Now, I know recently, Sammy and Tay, they I guess they've embraced the hate they they finally start to go heal because I guess people got tired of their fucking shoving down their relationships down in people's throat. So people started legit booing them when they were faces. So you're like, no, fuck it. We're just going to go heal now and embrace it. So it kind of works. So I think that was pretty cool that they decided to embrace the hate there. I think the story is Sammy's so hung up on his girl that he does anything to like appease her and impress her. And J.R. was mentioning our commentary. And that's what kind of was helping. It was kind of their downfall on this match, because he would. Sammy wouldn't even be worried about the the like tagging in Frankie, Kazarian, because he's so busy trying to impress his girl or whatnot. And it was causing some confusion to the point where Frankie left them high and dry when it was like a three on one situation. It was like a mix, mix women, a mixed tag match or whatever. But then Frankie comes back into the match. He tags himself in to try to, you know, get the pin victory. And then there's some confusion there when he tags himself in with Sammy and Tay Conti. I'm sure I'm mispronouncing it. And then Sammy, Sammy ends up kicking his girlfriend's head smooth off her shoulders, bro. That was a beautiful super kick out of nowhere. Crowds saying you have to ultimately they end up losing. I mean, the match was what it was. I know, you know, they're trying to hype up page fans and but I mean, what she did with the ring was OK. It wasn't nothing like just awe inspiring, but it was cool. She was serviceable. But I mean, even when she came out, the crowd was kind of just you know, gave her a lukewarm welcome. So I don't know. But this was a low point of the show for me to get into the next match. Kyle versus Darby Allen or what not. So early in the match, Darby gets busted open in the lip because Kyle O'Reilly, he's very stiff. He they show a replay, a stiff, legit knee to the face. Busted them open early in the match. Darby Allen does some type of dive under. I want to say is like he tried to dive under. I don't know if it was over or under the bottom ropes, but it looked like he ended up landing on his head and neck region trying to dive at Colorado, very, very brutal. I mentioned in my notes, this is a very hard hitting match, which it was. Ultimately, Colorado wins with multiple just kicks to the chest. Just I don't mean he's launching them. And Darby Allen is sitting up taking it like a keep, keep coming at me until Colorado jumps from the top rope with a knee to the side in the back off the top rope. Beautiful, Colorado, very stiff wrestler. It was an enjoyable match. The Darby Allen, Colorado match, I definitely would have preferred that a bit on the show, but I understand that they, you know, they have to promote, you know, the TNT championship with Scorpion Sky. So I get that I understand that I just probably would have preferred this match over the last previous match, but it is what it is. All right, so we get to the women's AEW championship match at this point. Fatigue is definitely setting in because it's a long show. Thunder Rosa versus Rene Deeb. They were showing some good chain wrestling at the beginning. The crowd was starting to chant this is wrestling. They were really showing out like just their wrestling ability. And I enjoyed the way they started off the match. Didn't really take too much note here. It was cool. It was it was serviceable, in my opinion. I think it was, you know, a solid women's championship match. And I predicted that Serena Deeb wasn't going to win. Thunder Rosa is entertaining. They're still trying to build her up and build up her title reign and the crowd is still heavily behind her. But overall, solid women's championship match. Now, this next match I posted on Twitter. This was just insane me watching this. There's no way I could take notes. I was wasn't taking as much of those prior to. And I knew I was in for something when Justin Roberts started off the announcement of the match, my saying, shit is about to hit the fan. I died laughing. Easily the best moment of the goddamn show. It was great. Anarchy and arena. The name is appropriate because it was just chaos. The Jericho Appreciation Society versus John Marksley, probably Daneson, Santa Ortiz, Eddie Kingston, Santana, I said Santa Santana Ortiz, Eddie Kingston. It was just a brawl. It was just a brawl. Jericho Appreciation Society enters at a ramp in the ring. Everybody else enters through the crowd. And for the first few minutes of the actual match, John Marksley's theme song is just playing throughout the entire brawl. It's just camera cuts, just brawling. People get busted open, fighting in the crowd, fighting in the technical area, fighting in the audio area. It just I had nothing to say. But this was great. I wish I could have watched this with you live. I would have been dying. This was so this brought energy back into me. The placement of this match was actually pretty good because at this point, I started to feel like I was kind of losing energy because I was seeing some pretty good wrestling. And then, you know, everything else was like it was cool, but it was just I was getting tired. This brought life back into me. And it brought life into that whole arena. It was just chaos. Everybody was bleeding, except for like Jericho. Damn, it was just blood. I loved it. I loved it. I put in my notes. I didn't care what I'm watching, but I had I'm having fun. Jericho smashes the soundboard that I guess supposedly kept playing John Moxley music, so he messes that up. So the music stops put off some of my notes. I can't take notes. This is just chaos. Everyone's busted open. Eddie Kingston made it his mission to let it be known. He was going to kill somebody. You got Santana and Ortiz jumping off this huge high ladder crashing down on two members of the Jericho Appreciation Society down below. Six spot. You got violence on the elevator. Don't know what's going on. Violence in the concession stand area. Eddie Kingston comes down with a canister gasoline. Jericho has day. Day Brown has Jericho in the La Belle Lock. And Daniel Brown was getting massive. Yes, chance. It was giving me shades of the yes movement. It was great. I'm Brian Daniels on Michael Agile comes out there. Gas canister. He starts pouring it on Jericho. Wow, he's in the La Belle Lock. Wow, he's getting gas on him, too, bro. He's like, bro, what the what the fuck are you doing? So they start brawling. And then that's when everything falls apart. Jericho gets a chair, starts beating the crap out of them. There is at one point there was a fucking table set up with barbed wire. They destroyed the top turnbuckle rope, like the whole turnbuckle, the top term. John Moxley destroyed that in the ring. He ends up they end up, I think Jake Hager ends up pushing John Moxley onto a table of there's a table set outside the ring. And then there's like a plywood set up with barbed wire that he brought out that John Moxley brought out. He is a falling on that. He's out of the match. And then they just, you know, Brian Anderson tries to bend them off as much as he can. But he's not able to. I believe Eddie Kingston gets a hit with Jericho's juice effect or something like that. I want to say like a little back elbow. He gets hit with that. He's out. And then Brian is trying to defend off Hager and Jericho, but ultimately he's not. The number games get the best of him. Jericho, he's the the walls, has the walls applied to Brian's day of sin, but then he puts it into like a half correct Boston grab or something like that. And then Jake Hager has the top rope tied on his neck while he's in that submission and he doesn't have. He passes out as expected in the match ends with the Jericho appreciation society winning. Honestly, this was fucking fun. This was fun. I can't. I it reminded me so much of the attitude there and just chaos and brutality, and it was fun. It's I wouldn't even call that a match. It was just fun. That was fun. I in that was the most enjoyable part. The best match of the night was the trio's match. That was the best match. This was the easily the best part segment, whatever you want to call because I can't call it a match. It was just fun. So definitely just go check that out by yourself. You'll you'll enjoy it. All right. At this point, I'm just full of energy, just hyped. We got the EW World Tag Team Championship match was not expected to be able to follow the hype of what we just saw, but they showed they put on a pretty good tag team match. Keith Lee with Swerve Strickland versus Jungle Boy, Luchasaurus versus Powerhouse Hobbs and Ricky Starks. Jungle Boy and Luchasaurus retain. It was it was it was a nice, nice tag team match with three teams. It was enjoyable. I think the most memorable spot for me was seeing Swerve doing like this backflip. He goes to the top row. There's a backflip off of Keith Lee's chest to everyone outside on the floor. Fantastic. Keith Lee is just for someone that big. He should not be moving that fast and being that agile. He's just fantastic crowd was definitely behind them a lot. Keith Lee and and Swerve Swerve Strickland. But ultimately, they end up giving the win to Luchasaurus and Jungle Boy. Crowd still kind of behind them as well. Interested to see what they do with them going forward. And we get to the main event. And I have to talk about this one only because in my personal opinion, some may disagree with me. I think this main event was probably one of the weaker ones from Adam Page. And what I mean by that is titled this title defense was probably one of the weaker ones only because of how it it felt like it should have been. This is CMP versus Adam Page. It should have been it should have felt bigger. But maybe that's because, you know, you had 12 other matches. So it's kind of hard to really bring all that energy at the end of the show like that. I just felt like it should have felt bigger, but it didn't was enjoyable. Yes, it was. But it just it didn't really hit all the notes I was expecting it to. But we're going to get into it. So I was there. It's the crowd did have energy when they came out. Crowd was split when the match started. It kind of died down towards, you know, towards the middle part. But it would pick back up here and there when one person would gain more offense. You heard to see a punk chance and you heard to Adam Page chance. See him punk tries to hit the bookshot layer. He definitely messes it up. Doesn't really land it properly crowd booze him. But he pays for it in the end. He didn't he wasn't able to actually hit it. But Adam Page was able to hit the GTS. And when he hits the GTS, see him punk kicks out crowd going crowd. I was a choice to end the crowd really started ramping up. Um, and then there was a situation where I want to say see him punk was trying to hit the GTS on a page again. Ends up swinging him and it hits the ref. Of course, the ref gets knocked out for an obscene amount of time. At that point, the championship is in the ring because I want to say Adam Page had threw him over the timekeepers area where the belt was at. And the belt somehow ended up getting back into the ring or whatever, but it was in the corner. So I'm like, uh, yeah, they're going to use this at some point. So the belt's in the corner, the ref is down, see him punk is down. Adam Page is up, he goes, picks up the belt and I'm like, is he going to turn heel here? I was like, is he going to do this? Is this the moment that he's going to say, fuck it, but he didn't. He wanted to win legit. So he puts it down, goes for the buck shot. Larry gets countered into the GTS and the ref comes to right at that precise moment. One, two, three. And see him punk is your new AEW World Heavyweight Champion. And I was thoroughly surprised because I didn't think they were going to actually pull the trigger, but they pulled the trigger. I wasn't expecting that. I thought maybe they're going to give Adam a little bit longer of a run, but they pulled the trigger. I was surprised and you can tell see him punk seemed very emotional. Like he seems super emotional. Like when he wanted, you know, you can tell he was very, very excited and happy about that. But I do believe this is not over the way they set up the story of Adam really conflicted on doing that. Because if he would have hit him with the title, he would have won, but he didn't cheat. And I think maybe that's a way that you can turn Adam into a heel because it's like, bro, if I would have cheated, I would have won that match. You know, maybe he turns heel from there. I do believe they will have another match and I have a feeling maybe their next match, the rematch will be better because this match was OK. I think this match was fine. I think if you have this match on a show with less matches, I think this be even better because I just think the crowd would be consistently more energetic in a sense. And the people at home would probably have more energy to watch it considering what we just saw. And I think that's the biggest thing for me when it comes to this overall show. If I I'm going to give my rating on this, I'm going to give this a seven and a half out of 10. It would be higher if there was less matches. There was all the matches on this card were serviceable. I don't think I couldn't really single out a match that was just like, oh, this is God awful. It was every match on there was like serviceable, doable. I wouldn't rewatch every match here on this show, but it was definitely serviceable. But yeah, that's that's the real reason why, even though I'm watching the Adam, even though I was I was happy to see Adam versus CM Punk, I was kind of already in the mud like, who I'm ready to kind of get this over with overall, I didn't enjoy the show. This was fun. This was great, a W they knocked it out a part for the most part with this one. I just the only drive I have is I wish they were taking off some of the matches on this card and I think the main event could have benefited me personally. It probably would have benefited even better because it would, you know, we would have gotten to the main event sooner and I don't know. It just it would have I would have more energy potentially. So but comment down below. Let me know. Did you guys enjoy double or nothing this year? What was your favorite match? What was your least favorite match or were you guys happy with CM Punk becoming the new AEW World Champion? Or were you guys kind of disappointed in that? And where do you guys see the next potential few for CM Punk? Will you have a rematch with Adam Page, man? And also let me know if you feel like the show was a little bit too long or it was just the right amount of left. But I appreciate all love and support. I'm sorry that my voice sound like I've been chained smoking for the past 10 years of my life or some shit. Like I'm a chronic smoker. I'm sorry. I'm definitely not. It's just my voice is definitely going from yesterday's activities. I'm just trying to take some medicine so I can get back to normal. But I appreciate all love and support run to 90 K. Appreciate you giving me. See you on the next one. Peace.
