all right time for the show no mercy 2024 have mercy on me I couldn't help it I thought about that and I'm going like oh come on you know that sounds stupid yeah it's perfect for this have mercy on me you know why because this was good guys understand I'm not against Pro wrest no matter what show it is I don't care if it's TNA NXT TKO NXT TKO Smackdown or TKO um raw I don't care it could be mlw if I'm reviewing it which I haven't it could be aew which I still review I don't care if it's good I'm going to tell you so this was a good show but it still kind of shows where we are when it comes to this collaboration I'm telling you right now before we go any further is this collaboration a good collaboration yes but it's TKO and Anthem I'm saying it now I'm not saying WWE and I'm not saying T TNA this is TKO group Holdings and Anthem see which one is getting more obset something out of this because remember we're talking about two corporations we're talking about TKO group Holdings which has Endeavor which has UFC TKO UFC TKO WWE and that's what we got and then we got anim entertainment these two companies are working together no matter how much anybody wants to say oh they're not working together it's WWE it's TNA no someone in both companies had the like this so the companies are benefiting more than the promotions which are not even promotions anymore they're satellite companies that's what they are until someone tells me otherwise that's what WWE is and that's what TNA is they're satellite companies they're owned by corporations now so they really don't have as much autonomy as you believe they do they only have autonomy as long as the bosses allow it and this isn't about the new one who's running T the president there and Triple H Triple H is not the one who owns the damn company he just does what he does he's a stoe he's a good ass stoe who knows how to do his business but still he's a stoe so we got two companies working together and one company's benefiting way more than the other honestly there that's the truth it doesn't make a difference if someone said uh who was it I you know who you were when you talked about TNA getting more people on the app eight people a day I'll say that again for everybody else and for you you know who you are the one who leads me to son he said teage numbers for the app is getting better they're getting eight people a day eight people a day think about what you just said eight eight a day some other places get up to 800 a day you're talking about eight now I'm not taking anything from that but that's still eight that's what a YouTube channel could get hell that's what I could get if I'm really lucky a day which I've never had but we're talking about a company that's worth millions of dollars that's just getting eight people a day now that is still a substantial amount but it should be more than a 100 a day 150 a day that would be better for TNA not eight now let's make it clear how were they really performing all the wrestlers the wrestlers are all performing well I want to make this clear to anybody who's watching this when you watch them going say oh they seem to be slow and sluggish I didn't really like this show well tough titty tough titty you know why they're in Denver Colorado they're one mile up it is very difficult to wrestle in that type of environment so if they look slower that's understandable because they're in Denver Colorado give them all slack give them a little bit of slack there's no way they can perform as fast and as good as they normally would if they were in a lower lower I don't think anybody's going to give an attitude with this but just in case a lower altitude would be better for all of them but we were in a place that was over what 5,000 ft above sea level trust me it's hard to breathe they're going to get tired quicker and they did a lot of the moves that you saw across all of the matches were maybe cut back by 20% they were 20% slower than they normally would and well some of them were maybe 15 or 10% others were maybe close to 20% slower the women seem to be a bit slower than any would be and that's understandable it is hard to breed so cut them to slack there but you can see that even though they were slower the matches were still good it's good first match chase you versus I was going like what are we going to get here I thought chase you was going to win against axan Frasier I I didn't expect Nathan Fraser or ask him to win here it didn't make much sense unless someone was about to turn heel that's what I thought when it was at the end and I'm thinking there's no way they're going to let Chase who who just won these damn titles such a short time ago pretty much let them win unless someone on Chase you was going to turn heel if it was not going to be rich Holland which it was and I'll talk about him in a minute it had to either be Duke Hudson or Riley Osborne I thought either if as the match was going on that if they're going to lose and this what I thought maybe 5 minutes before the match is over the way it looks I don't think Chase you is going to win even though it looks so close would Duke turn would Riley who was just on T and emergence I can understand maybe Riley may turn because he was just on teena's roster maybe because he was on the roster maybe he may turn not to he'll go and work for TNA in real life just because he was on emergence they didn't even talk about him much about actually being an ultimate X when it came to rileigh Osborne but this is what we got it was a very good match you if you think they didn't do a good match they did a very hard-hitting match you could see them tanking already it was so hard for them to breathe but in the end Frasier AC won and I'm going like okay and I even wrote it in my notes why what now that's what I thought what now why because I thought why would they go there what Now is it going to be Duke Hudson who's always been a question a lot of times a question would he ever turn or not and no it literally was Ridge Holland who turned flat out on the dime wiped out a well the first one that got thrown out of the ring was Duke and then Rody was right after him and then Andre goes up to and say what are you doing he touches on the shoulder and he gets clotheslines from hell and you can see theia ha who thought of rich like The Way R talked about her like that's like a daughter to him and she really looked up to him she's begging him and pleading not to do it she even tried to touch him on the shoulder and he looked like he was ready to rip off her head and she's terrified eventually Andre Chase got a package pile yeah a package pile driver onto the table and he was done sorry about that I had to change my battery it was flashing at me but he literally just turned and did that package P driver on there and basically they took chase away in the ambulance with Thea I have no idea where they're going to go with him now after all the building they've done what are they going to do with Rich Holland I would have thought Lily Duke would have been the best person to turn but they went through so much to get Ridge over as a face we all knew that there was something that might happen with Ridge Holland until they won tag titles and now they went there they decided you know what we don't need R is a champion we're not going there we're just going to have to turn them heel and then do something with now the question is what next the match I thought will be much further up on the card I really thought they would actually make this much further up but due to the fact there was so many titles that being defended there was way they could and this was a match I was looking forward to Wesley versus a Zachary wz let's let's make this clear let's just in case it's the first time you ever seen me hia I'm going to tell you this if you look at my channel I don't really have a very long playlist anymore I don't do playlists anymore I used to but if you look at my playlist if you look at my channel over TW what is it now 2,300 videos I believe yeah 2 not 1,200 2,300 videos easily more probably even up to 2400 I can't remember what the number is right now I have done TNA back in 2010 I have reviewed that damn thing longer than many people have been alive since 2010 until now 14 long ass years I have been reviewing TNA that went to Impact Wrestling that joined with global Force wrestling then went back to Impact Wrestling and now has become TNA again that's how long I've been doing wrestling it was like the seventh video ever produce I think that I I I've done in this channel I think the seventh or 10th video I ever did was the beginnings of TNA for me I've been watching it that long seeing Zach and the former Desmond Exavier I've known these two guys for a long time I watched them I reviewed them with Trey Miguel as The Rascals I know how their styles are I've known them for many years and seeing them both getting this moment Zach and now Wesley seeing that makes me so happy for me me these guys work so hard it's not easy for smaller highflying wrestlers to get anywhere let's make it clear there are a huge amount of highflying wrests these days you may still have the big bul like like like Hammerstone going like this and they're big and bulky guys but we do also have smaller wrestlers a lot of them but let's make it clear a lot of these smaller highflying high impact and high gymnastic wrestlers do not make it all the time in fact because of so many of them it's rare for them to break out they have to break out other than their just their Styles they have to have more and I knew before I saw Zachary Wentz before I saw Trey Miguel I knew that that Desmond Xavier was different it wasn't just how he jumped around in the ring there was something different about him and look how far he's come and then I saw Zach and then I saw try Mill and then unfortunately what happened with Zach and his wife Kimberly who was bipolar and was very abusive and after he divorced her she caused a lot of Havoc for him and heck Havoc for herself because she's gotten in trouble with the law she's already gone in front of the courts because of her instability it has not been easy for a Zachary Wentz and then when it comes to Wesley having had back Ser he had to go when he looked like he was getting so hot that he might have been ready to go to the main roster he had to go away for months to be able to recover from major back surgery he had no choice so seeing both these guys back together again and they're in a special a special Feud just for them made my heart so happy I was so glad to see they had this moment and then if you watch my emergence review and you know now you know now Zachary Wentz is the exhivision champion I knew which would have been really cool if they had gone there I knew they weren't going to but if they had done something special that if it was possible for them to announce it early that weslee would be getting the opportunity to go up against Zachary Wentz for the exhivision title at emergence that would have been the first time a TNA title would be generally defended on a PL of TKO WWE but they didn't go there and I wasn't surprised now if you look at how they work the ring you could tell the first 5 minutes was extremely fastpaced but then unfortunately because of the altitude it went from here to here they tried hard to maintain high octane work and as two guys who had similar styles that know each other well and they understood the situation they were in they were in a environment that's over 5,000 ft above sea level there is no way to were they they couldn't keep up that pace so at one point they went from here really fast and it looked like they began to crank it back to here so it was not at 100% I say about 75 to 80% of what they normally did there was no option they tried to boost it a couple of times to go back up to 100 but they just couldn't do it and it showed but it doesn't mean they did a bad job when they would doing the wrestling match I loved it it's because I know them personally because I did Impact Wrestling and saw them and I know what type of styles they work I know how they work together so for me personally it didn't bother me they couldn't go as fast as they normally would somebody else who's not fond of two highflying wrestlers who work together at the same time who know each other's attitudes how to work the ring they're not going to like this match I'm telling you right now this was a TNA exhivision Style Match and I'm sure not everyone is going to like it but they're going to like it even worse because look you're going to be doing exhibition why are you not going fast enough and like I said they can't it's just not possible but in the end once you saw Trey Miguel come out because once Wes saw that he could not beat Zach he got so pissed off he grabbed the chair he was about to whack him in the head after he'd already mostly incapacitated him you got Trey grabbing the grabbing that chair and that was fine great after that Zach won he managed to pin him and Trey jumped into the ring and hugged him like he's never hugged him before and in the end you could see a oof West looked like he wanted to burn a hole right through both of them and to be honest after it was all done and they had their segment in the back I expected there someone was about to get jumped I thought that Wes was going to jump train and was going to jump jump Zach but he didn't so now they made a request they want to go after the tag Champions so axum and well I'm let me give it to you like this knowing that AA made the decision that Zachary well how can I say this I don't believe the the wrestles is going to win let's make this clear I do not expect them to win the and nextt championships I don't expect them win the tag Champs but they are in a triple threat so it's going to be Rascals versus Hank and tank and who is the last team I cannot remember the last team that was going to be doing it um who was it I can't remember um I don't know if it's out the mud or another team it might be but pretty much that's going to happen this Tuesday let's move on the women's North American Championship Wendy ch versus keani Jordan now let me give it you like this the last match keani had looked terrible when it came to her and rosemary I'm sorry I am telling you right now I did not like that match Rosemary was fine keani could not work with rosemary very well they did not have very good chemistry and it looked like keani was being very sloppy it was not Rosemary's problem that was not her fault keani just looked sloppy but once you see a go up against Wendy it looked way more cleaner and Wendy who looked crazy who looked like she should join the Wyatt 6 did a great job I actually liked how she worked she didn't get angry like anyone else would she hit the mat and showed some frustration but she did not yell or scream keani got upset and could scream but Wendy generally didn't I barely s heard her scream or anything the match was actually generally very good it was well done but you could tell they were begin to get tank by near the end they just having problem breathing you could tell that it was getting harder and harder for them to lift one another and to throw each other around and to chase one another it was getting tiring but I'll give you like this by the end of that match when you see that keani won it was an okay win in my book I'm not saying it was perfect but it was good but then you see Tatum paxley come out choke out a Wendy chew and now they're going to have a program which is fine that shows Wendy is still going to have something to do now they got something for Tatum I have no problem with it but the person that's going to be a big question will be keani she needs more time and more development and the question is going to be who's next I don't know who's next I'm hoping to be someone that could really help her to grow a bit because as it stands she's been okay but like I've always said like with soruka and anyone else who's gymnast a former gymnast or a cheerleader this is what you used to do this is what you're doing now you need to crank that back a little bit because sometimes like what happened with rosemary when you fall back on trying to do this more than this it can be sloppy and when it comes to County she needs more time she needs more development with someone that can ground her more she can bring this up and she definitely needs it now next the men's North American Championship umfi versus the dawn the king versus the Dawn and this was a big question mark would they literally be willing to let FEI drop that title is he ready to move on to maybe the world championship and that was a big question for me honestly because if you look um femi he's been given a a lot of leeway as North American champion the dawn has been developed quite well in over a year and a half right now he's grown quite a lot since he came back when his knee was messed up so his development is not something that I need to worry about anyone else he's reached the point that I st in another six months or a year well within six months I do believe because when're nearing world rumble I would not be surprised if he shows up in world rumble because he looks just well enough that he could actually go to the main well counting if they got anything for him because remember this guys a lot of times when they're ready they may not have nothing for them on the main roster and I don't want to see Tony D'Angelo or any of the others go to the main roster without having any type of Direction any type of goal any type of gimmick and if you say well they got one they don't always let them keep their gimmicks a lot of times they'll let them restart or they'll just just freeze their gimmicks until they have an opponent for that person that's what happens a lot of times when they should develop when on a main roster they don't develop due to the fact that they just don't have anything for them so even if they're allowed to keep their gimmicks it's frozen so then they don't have a gimmick they can't progress they can't make themselves better faces or better he heels or an in betweener they just can't but I will say the match was very hard-hitting it was good yes we did see um cusino with a crowbar but he didn't use it but he did have a crowbar in his clothes and mfi did grab it and he did whoop some ass before the match happened so it was all right I think the the dawn did well but do I believe that UI did well I'll give you it like this do I believe he's ready for the main roster no do I believe they're going to keep him on North American championship title position yes he needs more time I just don't think he's ready yet does he look good yeah but I just don't think he's ready moving on roxan Perez versus a Jada Parker this is something I got to say I've seen busted open radio the one that came out I think two weeks ago or 5 days no 5 days ago I think where booger T apologizes generally apologizes to Bully Ray for his comments now booger T admits he didn't hear all of the comment and when it came to Bubba well Bully Ray his comment generally was look I look at roxan Perez this girl is good is she ready for the main roster yes but I don't want her to go up there because if they don't have anything for her she will just flounder and that's what he was saying but booger T didn't really listen to the entire statement what he said and then there was a little bit of beef but they kind of squashed in an open well open busted so it kind of got taken care of well they really didn't have any anger towards each other it's just straighten out the statement and when it comes to Bully Ray I agree look I've stated this for quite a while roxan is ready for the main roster she is ready when you look at this match she led the match she did she had the attitude she also led the match for Parker even though Parker you could tell still needs some work but she has potential Jenna Parker got potential but when you look at who was a better polished wrestler it is Rock San and I believe from most of that that rock was not going to lose flat out because of how Superior she is but here's it's a problem for me personally and I will talk about Julia in a moment but here's the thing I got to say got to finish my statement I don't want to see roxan Perez on the main roster now that I know how the main roster's been working for the last 6 months or say four months for that matter they've been bringing people up but they got people they're not really doing much with right now the story lines they're producing are good but there's not enough of them there's not enough storylines you got a whole bunch of people in the back that are sitting and Catering that they can't use because they don't have enough story lines to cover them all they may give them random matches once in a while but other than that they're doing nothing in the back so put roxan Perez out there I do not want to see her up there unless they got a plan to do something with her because say what you will but when it comes down to Triple H he's no different than Vince I'm sorry you say he's a he's not like Vince if he has nothing to nothing for these people what does he do is he going to send it back to NXT some of them yeah but he can't send them all back there because he may need them so they're going to be sitting in the back waiting to be used so he will be no different events if he has no room for them they're just going to sit and wait so that's what I'm thinking that's the reason I had to say this before the finishing of my my well do I believe R FEI is doing well he's doing okay moving on oh wa meant why did I say with me when I mean Miss Parker she did well they did talk about her right right ribs being um taped up so that's what they played on it was all right and we got Julia that came out after the match that happened now I am not going to tell you I've seen Julia maybe I've seen something about her once maybe twice I'm not going to tell you that she doesn't seem to be a bit interesting but here's the deal when it comes to Julia who I believe worked in stardom the majority of the time what would they do with her [Music] now this is going to be a big question Julia question can she speak English and if she can't speak English can't she learn English and then on top of that what will they do with her look the original NXT worked Asuka and Kylie Zayn correctly when you look at NXT now I don't know how Julia's going to be booked I don't have even a clue because she signed the WWE as far as we know she in WWE now TKO WWE but the problem here is what are they going to do with her she has to learn the style of the company she also if they're not going to be asking can you speak English can you work on your English are you willing to work on your English they're going to have to get a translator for her so it will look good and make some sense my guess is she may know some English doesn't know if it's big or not but this is what we got final match that needs to be talked about Joe Henry versus Ean Paige with a trick Williams as the special guest referee H I'm going to tell you this and this is the truth when I was watching Zack and Wes's match I thought one of two things if Zach wins this there's a good strong possibility that Joe is not going to win if Zach loses it'll make it more unpredictable to know if Joe win or not but there was a good chance that he probably won't win because I don't see well let's make this very clear the match was not the problem the wrestling was not the problem seeing that that let me give you like this and you Alicia I believe her name is Alish Ali Alice that Spike hair I don't know if I'm putting images in I think I will what the hell woman damn but seeing how trick was calling it down the middle how ego is doing everything he can to make this try to screw everything up or trying to get as much Advantage as possible basically shoving Joe into trick knocking him out of the ring they get a new ref then that ref get knocked out well technically before he gets knocked out Trick stops the ref from trying to do three because Joe Henry was on the mat and he was being counted one two and trick Stop the other ref from doing it he's thinking no no this my job but then that ref get knocks gets nailed and trick didn't know what was going on and then once the DDT was done onto the title and the eagles's edge again I believe was an eagles's edge he had to count him one two three and then yes we got Pete dun beating the crap out of trick and that's the last thing we saw but let's Let me give it to you like this my general thoughts about this what I'm trying to explain guys as I said earlier TKO WWE TNA this is what we literally have between the two companies we're not having something that's giving TNA something really substantial one of my subscribers stated hey you know the app is really doing well tea is getting eight people a day he said that in his own comment eight people a day should not be like a hundred people a day dude what did I say you just said it yourself eight people a day for a multi-million dollar company that is now working with a multibillion dollar company is only getting what eight subscribers to their damn app a day when it should be maybe a 100 a day or 50 a day eight you said it yourself eight that's [ __ ] you saying and everyone's saying they're selling out but they're not getting anything big yes Zach and Wes had a great match and so did Joe Henry and Ethan p but guess what that was on TKO NXT we just had emergence I looked at that show I I reviewed that show and the and and dude it's making me itch it's making me itch how angry I was yesterday that legitimately well day before yesterday that no no yesterday you see them beginning to get things mixed up CU I'm getting angry again their production was [ __ ] just like the old Impact Wrestling lighting was may not been a problem but the camer work was bad at one point they lost one of the cameramen and we saw asses we saw backs they didn't even know what to do even when the camera work when they had all the cameramen legitimately it was crap cam work when the only thing they had to do with there having problems like this zooming in and zooming in doing it do one thing the cameraman the only thing I had to do was this the open the head shot was fine the hard cam was fine until they started doing this the only thing that the men who were outside the ring on the sides had to do was this you can see everything everyone at the arena was having fun everybody at the arena was enjoying the matches guess what there's also people at home and that's [ __ ] that TNA Plus show was garbage taken away from the good wrestling there it was garbage for the people who are watching it at home and now hearing one of the subscribers saying this is getting good for TNA they're now getting people coming to the app eight a day they should get over a 100 a day 200 a day 500 a day you're working with a multi-billion dollar company in TKO WWE and you're here you sent one of your most popular wrestlers and Joe Henry who just closed the show you just sent Zachary Wentz who's now your TNA ex Division champion who won his match and now it's going to get a shot at the titles of another company and they're going to get more ratings than you will why because it's connected to NXT only unless we start seeing stuff that's on NXT on TNA like the TNA tag championships the North American tag Championship hell if Joan Henry had won that title I would expect him to bring it on to TNA and that will bring a huge amount of activity to TNA but we didn't see that Zach won but Joe Henry lost now what for TNA they should have went live more than four months ago five months ago they should have went live haven't their booking hasn't changed they may be selling out arenas but have we heard that they're getting bigger no hell Scott deore is doing more by himself now having an arrangement with Qatar pro wrestling Oceanic pro wrestling and his he just bought Maple Leaf wrestling and now he has Mar raro as his commentator mararo has been sought after by WWE and aew for years and he just got him if he had gone to TNA that would have helped a lot TNA would be way more interesting for people nope this is what we got guys and understand and I know people going to say you really hate Tena no I love Tena I'm still reviewing it I love the people there hell there's one person you know who you are who hadn't watched wrestling in months and he loves a he loves a Johnny swinger there's a guy who knows Johnny swinger has been gone for the company in months for months and months and still begging for Johnny swinger to come back and I keep telling him dude stop stop it if you're watching this if you really want to listen and watch it stop it watch the old videos of Johnny swinger if he joins TNA now they're going to treat him like [ __ ] they're not going to treat him the same way and you know this and you keep leing comments that you want oh if Johnny was here no I don't want to think about it because I know how TNA is what have they done better without him there nothing they've had great matches but not 100% great storylines we still had an understand an emergence we had PCO opening in the kickoff show with muhamed Shir when they were making such a big fuss about that entire storyline it opens the damn show on the kickoff not opens the show honestly it should have been left on T impact this was a great show no mercy and seeing Joe Henry and Zach get them moment was great but I still say what is Tena gaining pose it to me tell me what you think but it's just me peace
