Brian Hines:right here.
Jackman Ochs:Welcome to the OVW Podcast, the unofficial podcast of Ohio Valley Wrestling. My name is Jackman Oakes.
Brian Hines:And I am Brian Hynes. Pleasure to see you again, folks.
Jackman Ochs:Today, we're getting into all the action for OVW Rise 1283, emanating live originally from historic Davis Arena on March 8, 2024. But
Brian Hines:we will not be spoiling the OVW March Mayhem in this episode.
Jackman Ochs:No. That'll be next up on the
Brian Hines:We'll we'll spoil that later. But for now, we we will have no spoilers. Although, it was a hell of a show.
Jackman Ochs:I am willing to say that. I will just say that right now. What a show. We were in we were live in attendance. What a show.
Jackman Ochs:Cannot wait to bring you all the action pay per view March Mayhem. Cannot wait to bring you all the action from pay per view. It looks like tiny Brian just dug into the, the bourbon, the mystery bourbon here. Tiny Brian, what did you think here at the top of the show?
TyniBrian:I thought it was okay. I had heard I had heard it was a controversial blend, but, I enjoyed it just fine.
Brian Hines:I can feel the hairs growing out of my chest as we speak.
Jackman Ochs:It is a, a wheat from the Shafter, so to speak.
Brian Hines:John Shafter?
Jackman Ochs:Definite. Is that oh, the man?
Brian Hines:Well, shut your mouth.
Jackman Ochs:Oh, that one.
Brian Hines:That's what I thought.
Jackman Ochs:I can I I can never remember his first name?
Brian Hines:It's John.
Jackman Ochs:We weren't we weren't that close.
Brian Hines:Oh, I see.
Jackman Ochs:We weren't that close. So Well,
TyniBrian:he was a rebel, a loner.
Brian Hines:No. That's that's Pee wee Herman.
TyniBrian:Well, him too.
Brian Hines:John Shaft is a complicated man and nobody, I mean nobody, understands him but his woman.
Jackman Ochs:But Jack Vonn is a veteran. He was last up in our feed on our weekly Thursday
Brian Hines:That he was.
Jackman Ochs:Interviews. That was a great interview. That was part of that marathon date of interviews me and you did.
Brian Hines:Yeah.
Jackman Ochs:It's kind of weird to sit and listen to those back because they all kind of that was a big day for us. Not only all the interviews going out that night to the, Manchester is the night of the Manchester show. Yeah. It's great to sit and and listen to those interviews back. We are just sitting and listen to those interviews back almost, like, surreal.
Jackman Ochs:Like, I can't believe that I put them on or that we put them on because I really don't they feel so
TyniBrian:They do feel a bit like
Jackman Ochs:a blur experience. Yeah. Like a blur. Yeah.
Brian Hines:Like Well, we we had there were probably close to 10 people that stopped by that day. Yeah. And we did interviews with, I wanna say 5, and that was all in the span of, like, 2 hours.
TyniBrian:Yeah. Five people in 4 segments
Jackman Ochs:because
TyniBrian:we we had both tusks and chains in one segment. Yeah.
Jackman Ochs:So Yeah. And that was, We had
TyniBrian:to install an extra wide filter on the just to have Donovan Cecil in the shot with you 3.
Jackman Ochs:So It's true. It's true. And we, you guys are just now seeing the fruits of our labor. We're just now kinda getting to hear back the fruits of our labor from that day. We will still bring you great, great interviews every single Thursday in the feed, the type of quality that you come to expect here, the unofficial quality that you come to expect here from
TyniBrian:us.
Jackman Ochs:And, up next, if I have it right, is a lot of stuff that you, mister Brian Hines, did at Comic Con.
Brian Hines:Yeah. Yeah. Is that right?
Jackman Ochs:Do I have that right?
TyniBrian:That is correct. This Thursday, we will have our Comic Con special, which includes some conversations with several OVW personalities.
Brian Hines:So we're we're gonna do the whole thing in 1 big shot.
TyniBrian:In 1 big audio. Yes.
Brian Hines:Okay. And
TyniBrian:we will release the videos as reels, after the fact. Yes.
Brian Hines:That was another marathon day for me. You hadn't made it there yet.
Jackman Ochs:And was, firmly hungover, laying in bed. I think actually I'd actually think I was doing stuff that day, to be fair. I'll give myself credit. I think I was actually doing
TyniBrian:stuff that day. There was you you needed to go and get those jeans.
Brian Hines:Yeah. You needed to go to the mall to get pants.
Jackman Ochs:Yes. Yeah. That that checks out. Yeah. Yeah.
Jackman Ochs:But no. That was actually the that's one of my favorite things that you do around here, Brian, is those we like to call them the mean gene segments. You kind of just getting in there and not taking no for an answer, you know, jumping in there and, I haven't heard or seen any of the video from Comic Con. So I'm very much looking forward to seeing what you guys are up to all day without me before I was able to show up to the Comic Con.
Brian Hines:It was, it was an interesting show. There was a lot going on. Talked to a lot of people. Saw a lot of people in costume. Just any and all kinds of things that you can imagine that you would see at a Comic Con.
Brian Hines:They were all right there for for your viewing pleasure.
Jackman Ochs:Yeah. Comic Con was a lot of fun this past year. It's it's only kind of my second time I've ever been to anything like that. I missed all the fun that you guys had but definitely showed up with enough time to spend way too much money.
Brian Hines:Amen to that.
TyniBrian:Yeah. Yeah. It is a a a super nerdy swap meet for every kind of nerd imaginable.
Brian Hines:Yes.
TyniBrian:And so if if nothing else, if you're not into getting, like, signatures from celebrities or anything like that, there is a whole world of just belt buckles
Jackman Ochs:that I'm gonna wear I'm going to wear myself. You will see them on this feed around my, shoulders here.
Brian Hines:Okay. I'm
Jackman Ochs:gonna I'm kinda gonna bring in the the I kinda I've seen other dudes with the mail carry all. I kinda like it.
TyniBrian:So it's a variation on the fanny pack kid.
Jackman Ochs:Yeah. Yeah. No. Seriously.
TyniBrian:I I know. You're the Sailor Moon purse man.
Jackman Ochs:Yeah. This is, like, Cal Hero meets, like, Harry Styles, I think, meets, Malachi and his d and d friends, I think is what it it's it's a it's a a meld, a fusion of all of those, a melting pot of all
Brian Hines:of those. It's a blend.
Jackman Ochs:A blend. A blend.
TyniBrian:A cocktail of pop culture, if you will.
Jackman Ochs:Let's jump into some headlines, Brian Hynes, from OVW.
Brian Hines:So our coverage of OVW Overdrive continues this week with Tiny Brian and senior producer Victor bringing you all the action from the Tuesday evening event.
Jackman Ochs:If if you guys don't, catch up on that show, if you guys haven't dipped into that show, please do. It's a great show. Victor and Brian, tiny Brian, the hosts of Bluegrass Homefront, they bring a different vibe than what me and Brian Hines do on this Monday or on this Tuesday show. This Monday evening show is when we record it. Give them a listen.
Jackman Ochs:It's fun. It's 15, 20 minutes of your time. It's it's a lot
Brian Hines:of fun. Oh, yeah. It's
TyniBrian:great. Oh, and I do have an an announcement about that. Thank you for those very kind words, gentlemen. We we do try to do something a little different on there. And for those of you who have watched Overdrive or who maybe even for those who haven't, it is deep in, like, key fabe fantasy.
TyniBrian:Like, Brian Kennison was recently sold, to a fighting ring in, Austria, and he had to travel across all of Europe to get back to the Davis arena. So there there's apparently a whole universe with some pretty deep lore in this overdrive thing. So Victor and I are gonna have the man behind all of that madness himself, Brian Kennison, jump on and talk to us and kinda give us the lowdown on what overdrive is all about and, and and kinda give us a primer so that we're we're a little better at covering it. Because for us, it it's a lot. It overdrive is a lot.
TyniBrian:Deep learning curve there. It is. So Kennison's gonna help us out and help and by extension, help all of you out. So, yeah, keep watching for that. That'll probably be in during the, overdrive episode.
TyniBrian:If not this week because there's a lot going on this week, maybe next week, but very soon, Kennison's gonna come and and kinda help us out with all that. So I'm pretty excited about that.
Jackman Ochs:Always good to have Kennison on the feed. Oh, yeah. Absolutely. Been a big help to us around here. Yeah.
Brian Hines:I mean, he's no Eric Cornish.
Jackman Ochs:He's I
Brian Hines:mean He's
Jackman Ochs:an alright guy. He's an
Brian Hines:alright guy. But, you know yeah. Not a good guy.
TyniBrian:So He is also a good guy. Come on.
Jackman Ochs:He's a great guy.
Brian Hines:Yeah. He is. We're just kidding. Yeah. We love Brian Kennison.
Jackman Ochs:We love Eric Cornishmore.
TyniBrian:We do have some some somber news to get to as well.
Brian Hines:Yeah. We'll we'll get to that here in in just a minute.
Jackman Ochs:Yeah. Let's do let's run through, let's kinda book in this with the tour dates.
Brian Hines:Yeah. We'll go ahead and, give you guys, an updated, tour itinerary. In March 30th, they are going to appear in London, Kentucky, which I would, I would love to be at that show, but, mostly because that's where my mom and dad went on their honeymoon. And I've always been curious as to what London, Kentucky was like. But,
Jackman Ochs:I went to 4 h camp there.
Brian Hines:Oh, how was it?
Jackman Ochs:It was, some of the best some of the best times of my life in all honesty. Mister cynical over here is some of the best times of my life.
Brian Hines:Oh, alright then.
Jackman Ochs:Great little town. Pretty little place.
Brian Hines:April 26th, they will be in Nashville, Tennessee. May 2nd, OVW Doublecross will be live from the Kentucky Derby Festival and on pay per view. The Kentucky Derby Festival run for the ropes, is also wait.
TyniBrian:It's the same night.
Jackman Ochs:It's the same night.
TyniBrian:We don't understand it either.
Jackman Ochs:I did wanna Really? I did kinda wanna ask you what here while we're running into this issue. What does a split OVW show look like? Because if I have this right, Tony Bryan, the show from Louisville run for the ropes will be in the place of weekly television. Right?
TyniBrian:No. The double cross will be in the place of weekly television. If you watch OVW on one of the local television stations here, here in Central Kentucky, Louisville, wherever else it shows on actual terrestrial TV, you will have a normal experience watching OVW. OVW. If you watch it on, the Internet, on YouTube, or any of the rest of that, it will not be in its normal live stream.
TyniBrian:It will be a pay per view event, on that at that moment. So Wait.
Brian Hines:What? So if I have That's my understanding. Regular TV, I can watch it for free.
TyniBrian:Right. Like all the CW here in Lexington, it'll be in its normal timeslot.
Jackman Ochs:So they gotta get you one of those $10 antennas we were telling you about. Yeah. I
TyniBrian:guess. But for everybody else, it will be, apparently a pay per view caliber event. It will be somewhere in down low downtown Louisville Thursday before the Derby, I guess.
Jackman Ochs:Okay. So Alright. I think that this I've mentioned this before that I really wanna go to this Nashville show. I think that since we'll be able to see what the Louisville show looks like hint hint, guys. I think if we can come up with some money to send me to Nashville, I would love to see for journalistic purposes what the non televised show looks like in Nashville that evening, the same night as the Louisville show.
Brian Hines:Of course. Allow me to just fart out a couple of $100 bills, and I'll send you on your way.
Jackman Ochs:Oh, no. We'll we'll figure it out. Okay.
Brian Hines:We'll figure it out. So according to these notes, there is a OVW show in Nashville, Tennessee and in Lexington, Kentucky at Louisville, Kentucky at Run for the Ropes on April 26th. I'm not sure how that will work.
Jackman Ochs:But I'm
TyniBrian:not sure that Run for the Ropes is an actual, like, show. Okay.
Brian Hines:So
TyniBrian:there might be some sort of meet and greet
Brian Hines:There is a thing
TyniBrian:called Run for the Ropes.
Brian Hines:Called Run for the Ropes.
TyniBrian:We don't know what it it
Brian Hines:is. Okay. So there that is also a thing that we are somewhat aware about. Yes. Des Plaines, Illinois on May 31st, Longport, Indiana on June 1st, and OVW pay per view at Appalachian wire Wireless Arena in Pikeville, Kentucky in August.
Jackman Ochs:We don't have a firm date for that as of yet because that one got rescheduled. Right?
TyniBrian:Yeah. It was originally going to be the week that the, double cross was going to be.
Jackman Ochs:Okay.
Brian Hines:It would
TyniBrian:have been around that same time. So they moved because they're gonna do the the derby pay per view, which is understandable.
Brian Hines:Sure.
TyniBrian:Right. So yes.
Jackman Ochs:And And whenever whenever there's a firm date for that, we'll be sure to get that out to you, dear listener of this podcast.
TyniBrian:Yes. Pikeville you know, August will be our 1 year anniversary here at the podcast.
Brian Hines:That's true. August 3rd in case you're, pet following along at home.
TyniBrian:Yes. And, and Pikeville happens to be where senior producer and I are from. We're both Pikeville. Not we're both from kinda out in the darkness, about 45 minutes away from Ikeville, but that's where that's where the Walmart That's
Jackman Ochs:where you get groceries.
TyniBrian:That's where we no. We had grocery stores, but that's where we went to Walmart for the big stuff.
Jackman Ochs:Right. Right. And if if you find yourself in Pikeville, can I say if you find yourself in Pikeville that that, whatever weekend that is, shoot us an Instagram message? Yeah. Yeah.
Brian Hines:Shoot us
TyniBrian:an Instagram message. It's going down.
Jackman Ochs:Yeah. Just shoot us an
TyniBrian:Instagram message. Big night. We're we're excited.
Jackman Ochs:Yeah. Yeah. We'll we'll we'll check we'll check you at the door. If you don't pass the test, that's fine, but shoot us an Instagram message.
Brian Hines:All tickets are available at ovwtx dotcom, and we will get into all the action from last Thursday right after this.
TyniBrian:Hey, folks. Tiny Brian here with you from, Bluegrass Homefront. Listen, we've run into a little bit of a problem. Victor has lost the music.
Brian Hines:Oh, shit. Like, all the music. Apparently, it was That's bad.
TyniBrian:Yeah. It's bad. It sounds like the setup to, like, a children's movie. When Victor loses all the music, he has to go on a magical adventure to find it. But, really, we just have to search his basement, because it's just a hard drive with a bunch of music on it.
TyniBrian:So right now, we are looking for that so we can start reaching out to artists and and start booking them in. We have been reaching out to our first people for interviews for the new season. We've got some exciting things some exciting, stories to tell and some people to talk to. So looking and hoping to find some other people besides just me and Victor to do some of that storytelling in season 3, but it is coming soon. Until then, check out all of the episodes, including our, our, interview with several different Kentucky politicians.
TyniBrian:Hope to do some more of that and because we all know there's nothing Kentucky people like better than talking about Kentucky. So season 3 of Bluegrass Home Front, we get back to it. Until then, all episodes are available now at bluegrasshomefront.com or wherever you get your podcasts. Now back to the OVW podcast.
Jackman Ochs:Welcome back to the OVW podcast. I am Jack Monokes.
Brian Hines:I'm still Brian Hynes.
Jackman Ochs:Let's see. Bout 1 here. Top of the hour. OVW Rise 1283.
Brian Hines:We've got Beau versus Dustin Jackson. And
Jackman Ochs:we were we were there. We were.
Brian Hines:Yes. We were. And I remember as soon as he was announced. I mean, if you don't know Bo, he's a very big intimidating dude.
Jackman Ochs:If you don't know, now you know.
Brian Hines:Now you know.
TyniBrian:Used to be Boa Meir. Yes. Mhmm. Now they've simplified.
Brian Hines:It's it's like Cher. Yes. Except for he's, a wrestler, and he's very intimidating. But you and I were sitting together as they announced him, and I leaned over to you and said, watch. Right here, this is where he gets the big the push where he's the the next big bad guy.
Brian Hines:Yep. And, he makes quick work of Dustin Jackson.
Jackman Ochs:I didn't want it. I said or this is Dustin Jackson baby face breakout of the year. I was wrong. I'm a big Dustin Jackson guy. I have been really glad to see him back around.
Jackman Ochs:The promotion really, really am was super high on him the last time that he kind of had a, that he's making his name in OVW. Glad to see Beau, though, because I thought the way that he was pushed in the Nightmare Rumble, where they just kind of kept filing in larger and larger and larger guys, and he was still taller and larger and stronger than every single one of them. We haven't really seen him a lot since then, if at all, if I can really recall.
Brian Hines:Not much, if any.
Jackman Ochs:It was nice to kinda see him slotted instantly back in to this monster spot because I thought the the build from the, the Nightmare Rumble, I would have had him on every week just just destroying dudes. I would
Brian Hines:have had him do some version of this match every week after the Nightmare Rumble. I'm kinda glad to see them get him on track here. Yes. I am too. And, he had a very impressive performance against Dustin Jackson, and, I I'm cheesy like that, so I'm gonna go ahead and and go for it.
Brian Hines:I'm sorry, miss Jackson. Your boy done lost.
Jackman Ochs:Go ahead, Brian. I'm gonna let you take the next segment for that joke.
Brian Hines:Alrighty. So the Golden Lions are going to fight Beaches and Cream all over Davis arena, and this is the video package that we see next. They are fighting in the hallway. They're fighting through Cow Hero's promo, into the women's locker room, out by the equipment trailer. And I noticed this too.
Brian Hines:I saw you put this in the notes,
Jackman Ochs:and I was going to
Brian Hines:bring that up. And so throughout the like, this
TyniBrian:is all throughout the set.
Brian Hines:Yeah. It's all throughout
Jackman Ochs:the episode. Kinda kinda covered here.
Brian Hines:It's it's all one big long gag that goes the length of the episode. But among the places
Jackman Ochs:Not the first time we've seen OVW do this, but maybe the most effective time we've seen OVW.
Brian Hines:Yes. They did a very good job of, visually telling the story. And, it was a very good captivating story that, builds on, the end of last week's episode where, beaches and cream and the Golden Lions, have a showdown at, what's the name of the bar? Is it Baxter's?
Jackman Ochs:Baxter's, where all of the finest ladies in Louisville hang out, so I've been told. Mhmm.
TyniBrian:Not a sponsor.
Brian Hines:The, Not at all.
Jackman Ochs:The what what you were about to touch on, though, is there was the, graffiti
Brian Hines:Yes.
Jackman Ochs:For the legacy of Brutality
Brian Hines:Yes.
Jackman Ochs:That, of course, I think Josh was in that scene. Right? Josh was
Brian Hines:Was he in that scene?
Jackman Ochs:Yeah. He was, in I think he was getting he was doing something. He was getting ready for the show of, some sort, but he was behind the scenes some sort and then to the left of him Yes. In the shot you saw, like, where it said LOB forever.
Brian Hines:Yeah. And fairly fresh white spray paint.
Jackman Ochs:Yeah. Well, you know, no. It had been there forever.
Brian Hines:Oh, of course.
Jackman Ochs:For several years now. The legacy brutality, brutality, of course, cash flow was a huge part of that. Big Zoe, a few other faces that you'd recognize, Josh Ashcraft
Brian Hines:Of course.
Jackman Ochs:Instrumental in the success of that group. So nice kinda throwback to, Yeah.
TyniBrian:It looks like their secret hot out.
Brian Hines:Yeah. But do you think it's just a throwback, or do you think it's foreshadowing? Because I kinda feel like it's foreshadowing based on my, couple of words with Josh Ashcraft at the Comic Con. Well, past his prologue. Mhmm.
Brian Hines:If you say so.
Jackman Ochs:I'd I I don't know either way. I didn't I haven't spoken to anybody, to the effect of the future or the past of the legacy brutality. But in their time, we've touched on it in this feed. In their time, they were one of the more beloved, groups. Yes.
Jackman Ochs:They were feared and terrified terrifying for a long time. And towards the end of their run, they were, you know, hometown boys done good, basically. So we'll see. We'll see. It would be interesting in 2024 post Netflix, everything that's going on in the current landscape of OVW to bring back something like legacy brutality, but we'll see.
Jackman Ochs:We'll see.
Brian Hines:It is not out of the realm of possibility.
Jackman Ochs:I should've I should've I if I was being smart, Brian, I would've covered the sketch here, and I would've left this next matchup to you as punishment, but I guess I will take it here.
Brian Hines:Have at
Jackman Ochs:it. Carson Drake with Ari Alexander and Cholonce Royale Yes. Versus Dalton McKenzie. Can we take a moment here to mention Dalton McKenzie and his father? Sure.
Jackman Ochs:Sure.
Brian Hines:Well, on, so we were in attendance at, Davidson right now.
Jackman Ochs:Punishment. Carson Drake's the punishment.
Brian Hines:Yeah. He
TyniBrian:is. We love Dalton.
Jackman Ochs:We yes.
Brian Hines:Yes. So we were in attendance at Davis Arena on Wednesday.
TyniBrian:Nope.
Brian Hines:Thursday.
TyniBrian:Exactly.
Brian Hines:I've done a lot of traveling. You'll have to, forgive me because, from Davis Arena on Thursday, went to work, went straight from work to Ohio, grabbed my new lenses.
TyniBrian:Oh, yes. Those watching the video can note Hans has glasses now.
Brian Hines:I am, adjusting. If you
Jackman Ochs:thought he was daddy
Brian Hines:before. God. Anyway, so I went straight from work, to Ohio. Thought I'd have a minute to rest before I went to the Spotmonkey show at Eastern High School in Russellville, Ohio. Realized that I had a half hour to get there, and it was going to take me about that long to travel there in my car, so I went straight to it.
Brian Hines:That was Dalton Mackenzie's homecoming. He it was at his high school, his alma alma mater. I got to see all the matches. Jack Vaughn was second on the card, at which I found surprising. I've I've got the whole video of, Jack Vaughn's badge.
Jackman Ochs:He has stuff to do the next day.
Brian Hines:He he had he does have stuff to do next day.
Jackman Ochs:He actually Checks still clear. He's the veteran, man. Check still clears.
Brian Hines:Yeah. Yeah. But, yeah, that was definitely Dalton's night. He was the headliner. He came out, for the main event looking like a $1,000,000 where in an Eastern Warriors jersey had a fantastic match with Amos, and most of the exciting action happened before the bell even rang.
Brian Hines:Dalton comes out on top and has the whole place just on their feet screaming. And then during the course of the night, I I learned that Dalton's father has some serious health issues, and the whole thing was a at least the raffle part of it from, studio 413 where I plan on getting some ink very soon was a not, yeah, not a sponsor, but, they do some great work. They gave all the proceeds of the raffle that they sponsored to Dalton and his family in their time of need. So I just wanna say, Dalton, got you in my prayers, brother. Love you.
Jackman Ochs:And there is a GoFundMe for Dalton's family, his father, suffering, pancreatic cancer, and, we will be linking that GoFundMe in the show notes today. If you guys have a couple extra bucks, jingling around in in your couch cushions or in your, you know, car car, cup rest, cup holder, and you feel the need to give it to Dalton and his family, I know that he would appreciate it. He's a great guy, a great wrestler. Unfortunately, Carson Drake got the better of him that night. I really love Dalton McKenzie's look.
Jackman Ochs:You say he he came on the Eastern Warriors jersey. Obviously, like, very proud of that, like, Cincinnati area
Brian Hines:Oh, yeah.
Jackman Ochs:Upbringing. It's funny to me because he reminds me so much of, like, a jacked flying Brian Pillman.
Brian Hines:Yeah. Like He does.
Jackman Ochs:Down to, like, the the Bengals, gear Yeah. And the mullet. Like, he I I don't know what it is about those Cincinnati area wrestlers where it's just, like, the mullet looked great on him and the single that looks great on him. But, Dalton McKenzie, man, really, really great.
Brian Hines:Oh, he's a beast.
Jackman Ochs:I'm really, really have been a guy that you had mentioned, really glad to see some of these Spot Monkeys guys that I've only heard so much about through you, make their way down to the central, and and southern Ohio guys make their way down to OVW, Dalton McKenzie kinda being the latest. Guy is hard not to like.
Brian Hines:Yeah. Guy is really, really, really hard not to like. I mean, he had this match up until
Jackman Ochs:Until the end.
Brian Hines:Yeah. Right until the end and We're diligent. Yeah. Then that's because, you know, Carson Drake being Carson Drake is going to find a way to, win through nefarious underhanded means.
TyniBrian:I'm pretty sure he took Carson's money and then proceeded to beat him up.
Brian Hines:He did. Yeah.
Jackman Ochs:That was
TyniBrian:You know, variant Tom's name.
Brian Hines:That that is very much a Dalton Mackenzie thing to do.
Jackman Ochs:Miss miss Aria Alexander, I will not be referring to her as Katari. She, she threw Carson the the pearl necklace. Carson uses it to his advantage, knocks out Dalton McKenzie 1, 2, 3.
TyniBrian:That's the most famous wrestling weapon in the world. No comment.
Brian Hines:There are very few time I never mind. I'm just going to leave it.
Jackman Ochs:Pearls are a little expensive to be using in a fight. Sure.
TyniBrian:You would think. Yeah. Probably not real pearls. Probably not made by oysters.
Jackman Ochs:Well
TyniBrian:Because they were big. I saw I got a good look. It was a really big pearl necklace.
Jackman Ochs:Ari deserves real pearl pearls. Carson's a hack and wouldn't buy her for her.
TyniBrian:Oh, before we move on, Brian, were there any other, people at the Spotmonkey show who over w fans would recognize besides those 2?
Brian Hines:Present tense? No. However, I think at some point, sooner or later, we're gonna be talking about, Justin Xavier. He's, he's young. He's a very hungry guy.
Brian Hines:He, one of his tags on social media is the slim reaper, and he's, you know, mostly a a good guy now who's got a, an eighties video game themed, gimmick going on. I'm not really entirely sure what the the backstory is on that. I would love to be able to sit down and get an interview with him at, the next Spotmonkey show here in about a month. But, at some point, I think that you were gonna see him down here challenging for the, Rush title.
Jackman Ochs:Yeah. I mean, you've made a pretty good, history so far. A pretty good reputation, for calling some of these Spot Monkeys guys, shot at OVW. So we'll see. Only time only time will tell.
Brian Hines:Oh, yeah. I've I've seen him for 3 or 4 years now around, Southern Ohio. And when I first saw him, he was good, but
TyniBrian:he was just so super green and nervous.
Brian Hines:And, you know, flash forward, 3 or 4 years later, and the guys got confidence. Skill level has increased exponentially, and ring performance and, entertainment value is right up there with the best of them. So here's hoping that everybody else gets a chance to see what I see.
Jackman Ochs:And what what was his name? Because I because we know OVW listens to every single word of this. What was his name again?
Brian Hines:Justin Xavier.
Jackman Ochs:Yeah. Then we we know how much they love our, suggestions on what they should do and what they shouldn't do.
Brian Hines:Of course.
Jackman Ochs:Before, before the next bout, this is the match 3 of the night between, who who I like to call fake man, Adam Page, Jason Hendricks, and Jodipayso. Will Austin comes out to the commentary booth to do commentary for this match. Of course, Will Austin, has already cemented his spot in the upcoming pay per view, so he's coming out to kind of, I guess, taunt taunt HOTA pesos, scout HOTA pesos. Yeah. Kind of just, play a multilateral game here against Hode Pesos and get a little bit of microphone time here, which I will not complain about because we should always push Will Austin.
Brian Hines:Mhmm. I I knew that I knew how you felt about, having him on commentary because, your big thing your your first shirt would be a Push Will Austin.
Jackman Ochs:Push Will Austin in the unofficial VW shop No. One day.
Brian Hines:I do not disagree with that sentiment at all.
Jackman Ochs:No. That's a one of 1. I'm wearing it every day. I'm wearing it to bed. That's what you do with your heroes.
Jackman Ochs:You wear them to bed like a little kid. That's what you do. You wear your superheroes on the pajamas like a child.
TyniBrian:So I'm hearing we need to get you some Will Austin underwears.
Jackman Ochs:Some some Will Austin a Will Austin onesie. Like footy pajamas? Yeah.
Brian Hines:Yeah. Nice.
TyniBrian:Just get a full body shot and just put it on the one
Jackman Ochs:And it says it says push Will Austin. Instead of push Will Austin.
TyniBrian:I I will note I would like to note for the record, I don't remember if this was here or the pay per view. It doesn't matter. There was a moment where the crowd decided to chant, will you suck? And they got it out about 3 times, and then everybody realized it was basically a double entendre. And and everybody looked looked looked embarrassed.
TyniBrian:And it was just one of my favorite things that's ever happened in a lot of you in my whole life. So the,
Brian Hines:the
Jackman Ochs:the boys' sweet 16 game is is in, Lexington this this week. Do you ever go to those? Would you ever go to, like, a big game where they have, like, the the the chant leaders in front of the crowds? That's
TyniBrian:We call those cheerleaders.
Jackman Ochs:No. No. No. No. No.
Jackman Ochs:This is different than the cheerleaders. This is like a student that would be leading the chants for the
TyniBrian:Oh, the one the one that's big and loud. Yeah. I've done
Jackman Ochs:that job. I think most of the time, the chance in Davis arena, spot on. Sometimes, a little off. Every once in a while, I think we need to tweak those. Bring in a guy like that, really kind of refine some of these ideas and some of these, chants that we try to get going in the Davis arena.
Jackman Ochs:I think then they're gonna be gold every single time, but some of them are questionable. We're just gonna be honest, dear, Davis arena participants in the chants. Some of the chants are not all there. We need to take them back to the drawing board sometimes, and Will You Suck is a great example of that. Jotepeso, of course, ahead of the pay per view, no question about it, takes someone to victory over Jason Hendricks here.
Brian Hines:Yeah. This was just a formality match, really. Yeah.
Jackman Ochs:Yeah. A a great excuse to see Jota in action. A great great excuse to get Will out there in commentary. Great excuse to have them stare each other down before the pay per view match. Perfectly done.
Jackman Ochs:Perfectly done. Did everything it needed to do. It didn't need to be spectacular. Did everything it needed to do, though. No.
Brian Hines:It was perfect.
Jackman Ochs:This next match between Shane Burster and Maximo Suave, my close personal best friend, Maximo Suave, we actually ran into him in the parking lot of the Davis Arena.
Brian Hines:We sure did. Always a pleasure.
Jackman Ochs:Always a pleasure. Always has it's just like he's such a funny guy and has such a great mind for wrestling and is so honest, and he told us ahead of this match. I found out tonight I'm wrestling Shane for the first time. He's gonna throw me around. He said, do you do you guys need to talk about it?
Jackman Ochs:I said, why? No. He's just gonna throw me around. Do I have that about right? It's sound about what Maximo said.
Brian Hines:And then he's he asked us whether he'd we'd ever seen his workout videos, and we were like, no. But apparently,
Jackman Ochs:he just, you know, lifts Starts off with, like, 500. Yeah. Ridiculous The Shane Mercurio.
Brian Hines:Workouts and it just goes from there. But, yeah, I think we all knew what we were getting when, these 2 hit the ring and
Jackman Ochs:And it would it didn't have to be anything more than that either. It was perfect. Maximo was Maximo was great. I was I was actually really glad that there was not as much throwing of the Maximo as Maximo was worried about because I did think it was a great opportunity for Maximo to show, show out, show what he's capable of doing too. Yeah.
Jackman Ochs:But he did make Shane look every bit of what we've been led to believe Shane Mercer is.
Brian Hines:Oh, I fully believe he's he's all that and and then some.
Jackman Ochs:Yeah. And and, you know, this is ahead again. This is the go home show. So So usually on an OVW pay per view cycle, this show is it can be a little slower in pace. It can be a little more predictable.
Jackman Ochs:That's not always a bad thing, but it is you know, they're turning on doing a Thursday show, and then we're doing a show on Saturday. So sometimes these matches are a little more straightforward than they need to be, but that's not necessarily a bad thing ahead of a pay per view. Shane Mercer looks like a killer, and, that's what he needed to do. Go heading into the pay per view against the much bigger Big Zoh in to conclude their best of 7.
Brian Hines:Yes.
Jackman Ochs:Great match. Man, Shane Mercer, everybody's favorite shiny new toy at Davis Arena. I I love him, man. You it's he's hard not to like. He's so physically impressive.
Jackman Ochs:Yeah. Just in general, but the moonsault and battery. No one should be That
Brian Hines:is outstanding. Yeah. How how is that even, possible, like, given the laws of physics and stuff? It doesn't seem like anybody should be able to do that, but here here we are week after week just wow.
Jackman Ochs:Shane Mercer, he's just he's just built like this fucking bulldog, man. He's insane. He's it's the the feats of strength he can do, the athleticism that he has, he is he is just something he's something you can't teach. I'm glad that he decided to start wrestling and not, like, trying to, kung fu fight people because none of us would stand a chance. I'm glad that he decided to come entertain us because he is just a physical specimen all the way around.
Jackman Ochs:Yes. Incredible. Incredible guy. Our one main event, non title match between Jay De Niro, of course, accompanied by Tony Evans this time, flip flopped. Right.
Jackman Ochs:And, media champion, country boy, media champion, Cal Hero.
TyniBrian:I think on the 3rd, maybe 4th time we've seen Jay De Niro compete if you compete if you count the Nightmare Rumble. In OVW? Yes. In OVW as Jay De Niro.
Brian Hines:Not a whole lot of times. About a handful or so.
Jackman Ochs:It's so so few times that it's worth noting. Yes. Right? This, it's kind of hard to, you know, get into these matches in any sort of, like, straightforward analytical way because it is right right ahead of the pay per view. And most of the time, we know what that means.
Jackman Ochs:Right? When we're when we're 3 days away from a pay per view, it means that not a lot's gonna change in terms of of the card and in terms of storyline, in terms of, like, ranking in our minds, like, the way that fans rank wrestlers, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera, which is kind of a perfect opportunity for what happened here to happen in this match versus Jaden with, Jaden Nero versus Cal Hero. The masked men show up and run rough shot everybody.
Brian Hines:Well, I mean, they start off by assaulting Cal Hero.
Jackman Ochs:Yeah.
Brian Hines:They they hit the ring in the middle of this match and, assault Cal Hero, you know, and and everybody thinks that, oh, they're, you
Jackman Ochs:know They're Tony Evans
Brian Hines:guys. Tony Evans guys. Yeah. But, no. That's not the case because the masked men take them out too, leaving the whole crowd speechless speechless.
Brian Hines:Like, what just happened? And and who are these people and why? And what do they really want? And what are they really after?
Jackman Ochs:And at this time, you know, stuff has happened, you know, that we know about that we won't cover in this feed. At this time, there really still kind of is no indication more or less of who the masked men are from the first time that we've seen.
Brian Hines:Outside of what we may have observed at, tough love, which we kind of alluded to but we didn't actually come out and say.
Jackman Ochs:You mean, like, tough tough love, February's pay for you?
Brian Hines:Yes. We they were there at the that page Right. We had the unsection
TyniBrian:match with the last time we saw mister spectacular.
Jackman Ochs:Right. Right. Yes. Yes, man. Yeah.
Jackman Ochs:Jesse, where where are you, Jesse?
TyniBrian:He's whacked
Jackman Ochs:out. What happened to you, Jesse?
TyniBrian:He's literally walked hosting a show called whacked out.
Brian Hines:Really? Is it like Rob Dyrdek show? It's basically the old whacked out sports. That's whack.
TyniBrian:Just no sports. Just whack. It's it's just America's Funniest Home Videos redux.
Jackman Ochs:Is it, like, fail vids?
TyniBrian:Yes. Okay.
Brian Hines:Oh. Exactly. Well, why don't they just call it fail ville?
TyniBrian:Well, because swacked out was apparently a brand had brand recognition.
Brian Hines:Sure.
TyniBrian:Anyway, that's pretty much what I'm pretty sure
Jackman Ochs:it's worth it. Good for him. Good for him. Cash that check, buddy.
TyniBrian:Yes.
Jackman Ochs:It's better than following me back. In all seriousness, good for you, man.
Brian Hines:Alright then.
TyniBrian:I don't know if it's better.
Jackman Ochs:It is. It is. Nobody wants to fall on your back.
Brian Hines:Yeah. But I don't feel compelled to watch that show.
TyniBrian:That's fine. The cash
Jackman Ochs:that it's it's going in the bank account. Going in the bank account.
TyniBrian:Anyway
Jackman Ochs:At the, top of the hour here. Top of the hour here. No decision. Right? We covered this masked men.
Jackman Ochs:We still don't know where the masked men are.
TyniBrian:And we'll we'll we'll cover the masked men more in our next episode.
Jackman Ochs:We have we have things to say about the
TyniBrian:masked men. We do. That that can keep for now.
Jackman Ochs:Yeah. So this was at the very top of the hour here where Chris Dahl and KTE come out. Right? Yes. They come out and kind of, go over their time with Carson Drake, remind everyone of
Brian Hines:The the bonehead double date.
Jackman Ochs:Yeah. Yeah. His, his double date.
TyniBrian:It's a bad rom com.
Jackman Ochs:Yeah. Well, just the bad com, really. There was no romance that night.
Brian Hines:No. And it wasn't even that funny. That was just dumb.
Jackman Ochs:There's so we go back and forth. Cars Crystal and Kadee are getting their digs in on, Shallonsay and and Ari. They're getting their digs in on Carson. There's a big thing that happened with this this segment Yeah. On
Brian Hines:Carson Drake and Carson Drake being Carson Drake. He appears Of course.
Jackman Ochs:Calls it Lewisville. Good touch.
Brian Hines:Yeah. Original. Says it has the worst airport. Yeah. Good one.
Brian Hines:That that's CVG. CVG, man.
Jackman Ochs:Worst is
TyniBrian:I'm too fat to fly, so I don't know.
Jackman Ochs:It it he car there's a there's a point in this where Carson Drake, pushes Crystal like he had been planning on it.
Brian Hines:Yeah. And Like, all the way across the ring.
Jackman Ochs:And there was an audible gasp. Good on Krystal for really kind of like Iron Man in the past few weeks between the guitar shot and this massive I mean, really guys massive push from Carson Drake here. Really just, like, power manning through this. There was an audible gasp throughout the entire arena. It was a gasp, like a balloon popped and then silence after Crystal hit the ground from Carson Drake's, push.
Brian Hines:Yeah.
Jackman Ochs:And then, I think to get the crowd back in it thankfully, to get the crowd back in it and to kind of get the segment back on,
Brian Hines:Katie. Katie. Katie gives Carson a bit of the old debts. My first, I don't know you from the Bobby Hill playbook.
Jackman Ochs:It and it couldn't have come quick. Her her punching Carson in the nuts couldn't have come quick enough to kind of
Brian Hines:No.
Jackman Ochs:To kind of get the arena and get the viewer back on.
TyniBrian:And she did
Jackman Ochs:have It was very it was very shocking to see.
Brian Hines:It was. You don't see that. No. And there are reasons why you don't see that. And and I'm not I'm not, like, saying it's good
Jackman Ochs:or bad or the other, but it was jarring to see Crystal get flung across the ring like that. Yeah. It really was.
Brian Hines:It was. And he
TyniBrian:he also got Katie by the hair if you'll remember. Yeah. Yeah.
Jackman Ochs:And that was She did
TyniBrian:the splits before she hit him, which is just totally crystal.
Jackman Ochs:And I wonder I wonder if Katie. Yeah. I wonder if crystal Crystal's push is so much more cemented in my mind because she didn't get come up in the way that Katie did. Because you're right. The him grabbing Katie by the hair is almost visually as jarring or if not more so than the push to Krystal.
Jackman Ochs:But Katie is the one that gets the revenge. Krystal's still on the ground. So I it's just like a kind of was a a weird thing to watch, a weird thing to be live for, and then rewatching it live, or watching it back to cover it was, like even knowing it was coming was even kind of, like, shocking and weird to be a part of. Yeah. Without saying it was good or bad or otherwise because wrestling is a form of entertainment.
Jackman Ochs:Television is a form of entertainment. These things like things like this get covered in all forms of entertainment. I just wonder, like, is wrestling always the place to cover, like, violence against women? I don't I don't know. That's a different conversation for a different day, and
Brian Hines:that's not
Jackman Ochs:necessarily what they were covering here. But it was very it is worth noting that, like, man, it was shocking to see her get flung across the ring by Carson Drake like that. It really was.
Brian Hines:It was.
Jackman Ochs:I'm really, really glad, though, that the segment ended with Katie's kind of, rope assisted backflip into a nut shot. I think that that was a good way to end it. Yeah.
Brian Hines:Alright.
Jackman Ochs:On to the next bout, Brian Hines.
Brian Hines:Yes. And, I am pleased to report that one of us is wrong because the very next match and I I'm not gonna say it was you because it wasn't. That's not who I was referring to, and that wasn't necessarily on our program. Okay. I believe it was senior producer Victor saying I'm
Jackman Ochs:just so used to being wrong on here, man. It's alright. Mister Matt,
TyniBrian:what what's going on?
Brian Hines:America's sweethearts.
TyniBrian:Oh, we thought they were gone.
Brian Hines:Victor thought they were gone. And I said, well, maybe it's just a scheduling conflict or something. I don't know. But here they are, this you know, at the, top of hour 2 after Carson Drake and and his escapades, America's sweethearts taking on Angelica Risk and, Shauna Reid, and, looking better than they ever have. And I got to thinking, during this match on Thursday and their match on Saturday, who they remind me of now.
Brian Hines:And now that I see it, I don't think I can unsee it.
Jackman Ochs:Who is it?
Brian Hines:Rock and Roll Express.
Jackman Ochs:I was gonna say is that the the the and Roll Express?
Brian Hines:The stereo drop kicks, that kind of high intensity positivity. I mean, you can't lose with a combination like that. I mean, they've got going over the 3 things that we said that you need if you're a professional wrestler. You need the looks.
Jackman Ochs:Got it.
Brian Hines:You need the skills. Got it. And you need the mics.
Jackman Ochs:Well, I mean, the promo is the promo is there. Like, I haven't heard them cut anything. I
Brian Hines:haven't heard them
Jackman Ochs:But the promo is there.
TyniBrian:Yes. Period. Guys, can we talk a moment about the Sofia Rose video?
Jackman Ochs:That's what I'm saying. Yes. The promo is there.
TyniBrian:We have It doesn't matter
Jackman Ochs:what that girl says. People are gonna go fucking nuts for it, man. People get it silent and when that thing comes on, people clap and yes. And like this is
Brian Hines:And people get emotional too. People get emotional. As they should.
Jackman Ochs:Sofia Rose is the type of baby face that you could not build in a laboratory that you could not pray for a 1000 times. You could not write. You could not write. People would not think that it's true. Like, Sophia Rose is is, like, got it.
Jackman Ochs:Like, Sophia Rose, the the the all American sweethearts, this tag team, like, if if if there's ever a time and it kinda looks like there is. There's kind of these built these groups being built in women's division all the way around, kind of these, like, separate factions being built, these kind of very obvious tag teams being built.
Brian Hines:Interestingly enough
Jackman Ochs:If there was ever a time to make a women's tag belt, it needs to be now and it needs to be on the all American sweethearts immediately, what's it called, lightning in a bottle here.
Brian Hines:Yeah.
Jackman Ochs:Like, and you don't get that every day and and the the best laid plans of mice and men, like, could could could maybe maybe maybe maybe come up with a Sophia Rose, but Sophia Rose is here. Yeah. Sophia Rose is in OVW, and we need to we need to figure out what to do with that because any everything she does is great, and and there's gonna be a point with her where the things you're not doing with her are missed opportunity because people are so on board for it.
Brian Hines:Yes.
Jackman Ochs:Like, I I'm I'm I'm in I'm in the all American sweethearts. I'm in the Sofia Rose. I'm in the Lady Bird. Like, let's get some belts. Let's get some big pretty belts.
Jackman Ochs:Let's get some tag team belts for the women and, like, let's let those girls fucking go. Like, it's like, what what more can we what more can I say? What more can I say?
Brian Hines:Lady Bird, sir, we salute you.
Jackman Ochs:I would like to say and they they faced a hell and Shauna Reid. Shauna Reid actually got a lot of positive, kind of feedback from the crowd as well.
Brian Hines:Yes. She did.
Jackman Ochs:And does a great job of playing both no matter what role she's given that week. Singles, heal, singles, baby, tag. She's great. She's great. She's very, very seasoned.
Jackman Ochs:She's very, very good. But I think it's just when you've got the all American sweethearts on the other side of the ring, it's hard to talk about anything else. And that's the way OVW wants it, and that's the way that it is, and that's not a bad thing
Brian Hines:at all. Not at all.
Jackman Ochs:Like, just, I mean, you couldn't you just can't you can't get given a better scenario than Sophia Rose and Lady Bird and the all American sweethearts. You just can't.
Brian Hines:Amen to that.
Jackman Ochs:You really can't. If if this was it it it's it is almost like a Disney Channel original movie. Like, it's that perfect and that sweet and that sentimental and that just, like, schmaltzy and boozy and happy and joyful. Like, it's it's it's right there. Sofia Rose and Lady Bird and the all American sweethearts are right fucking there.
Jackman Ochs:Take them. Push them to the moon.
TyniBrian:30 incoming.
Jackman Ochs:Push them to the moon. Alright.
Brian Hines:Alright. So after their big Yeah.
Jackman Ochs:Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Let's so we have a show to talk about.
Brian Hines:After their big win, the bad girls club arrives and they attack them and throw them out. And, then they address the room, and there are issues between, La Princesa, Tiffany Nieves, and Leila Gray, and those cracks are starting to show. And then Freya and Hailey come out and ask for a title match, And Al makes the pay per view a fatal full way between Hailey, Freya, Tiffany, and Leila, which
Jackman Ochs:that's a
Brian Hines:lot of bang for your buck kids.
Jackman Ochs:That sure is. It sure is.
Brian Hines:And I'm so looking forward to talking about that and everything else that happened on Saturday at March, May.
Jackman Ochs:And I mean, those are those are those are your 4 top girls right now. Right?
Brian Hines:Yeah.
Jackman Ochs:Like, if if we're having a pay per view match, not only does the inclusion of those 4 get a lot of, like, your ancillary characters on the outside too, in the form of the bad girls club, Ellie and Hema. I mean, it's a pay per view. It's your 4 top girls. Like, let's there's no reason for them not to all be on the card together. I do kind of always like 1 on 1 matches for championships, though.
Jackman Ochs:That's just me, though.
Brian Hines:Sure. But That's
Jackman Ochs:just that's not me complaining. That's just
Brian Hines:a preference. Sometimes, people color outside of the lines, and that happened a couple times on, on Saturday night at the pay per view.
Jackman Ochs:I can't wait to get into Saturday night.
Brian Hines:Me either. Got a lot to talk about. But we'll we'll save that for another time. That's not why we're here tonight.
Jackman Ochs:Bout number 7, Tony Evans. This time, he's in the ring. Jada Niro is accompanying him.
Brian Hines:Yes. Per usual. And they, come out to the usual superior superior Tony Evans, stick and, say that the masked men did not finish the job. They are standing tall at the end of the night, and if anybody in the back has the sack to come out and do anything about it, Tony Evans isn't going anywhere. And that means cue, Ragnar the ruthless.
Jackman Ochs:Ragnar the ruthless. That's such a standout for such a long time on the preshow. Yes. What is now called, Overdrive. Right?
Brian Hines:Yes.
Jackman Ochs:Standout for such a long time on there is kind of made his way onto the main roster here and there.
Brian Hines:Good for you, sir.
Jackman Ochs:And, but I'm kind of can't seem to pick up a win whenever he's on the main roster.
Brian Hines:This this, evening, no. He he did not come out on the, the good end of the 3 count. But what I found more interesting was, what what they were talking about on commentary with, Jay De Niro. What was that? Well, first off, he wasn't wearing his usual ring attire.
Brian Hines:Right. He he's always, very formally dressed, very sharply dressed as one who is known as a, mafia enforcer.
Jackman Ochs:I thought you're gonna say
TyniBrian:daddy. No.
Brian Hines:I wasn't planning on saying that, but you did. So there we are.
Jackman Ochs:One who is a daddy is dressed that way usually. Yes.
Brian Hines:Yeah. But, tonight, he was not. And we had, we had actually spoken to him about that when he was here the day of the Manchester show. Mhmm. And he said that he had always been in the same ring attire and had asked if he was able to dress down a little bit and was told, no.
Brian Hines:Not yet. And not only did we see him in a less formal version of himself, but, they were also talking about him and his backstory, and, Josh said that he looked for video footage of him outside of this and was able to find any. Well, I'm pretty sure we have some.
Jackman Ochs:I think we might, Yeah. I I Unofficially, I'm willing to say we have
Brian Hines:some some unofficial footage that
Jackman Ochs:Unofficially, I'm willing to
Brian Hines:say yes. There on the interwebs. So We
TyniBrian:really do. We really have it.
Brian Hines:Yeah.
Jackman Ochs:And it would it might really show up again tomorrow morning on our social media.
TyniBrian:It might really be in our stories.
Jackman Ochs:Right now, it might really be in our stories. It might really be on TikTok.
TyniBrian:Well, it yeah. It At ovwpodcast.
Brian Hines:What is it, Timmy? Is that did, what is it, Lassie? Did Timmy fall on a well?
TyniBrian:Did Jay Gennaro make a promo? Yes. He
Jackman Ochs:did. And you can find it on our website.
TyniBrian:Post it into our socials. It's already there, but we'll put it back up. Yeah.
Brian Hines:I don't know.
Jackman Ochs:Bump it.
Brian Hines:We we
Jackman Ochs:are the For posterity.
Brian Hines:The only people who have managed to get a word with him about who Jay De Niro is.
Jackman Ochs:This side of, of of, the, Mason Dixon at least, I guess. Alright. I think, he's he's been around for a long time, man. We we talked to him on this feed. We know he has an
Brian Hines:expensive history.
Jackman Ochs:That's true. But this version of Jay De Niro, I think we probably are the first people to
Brian Hines:crack that egg. He he told us we were. So yes. I I'm pleased to say that, we are the ones who
Jackman Ochs:It was you. It's not even a we. It's a you thing.
TyniBrian:Well, I wasn't gonna take all the credit.
Brian Hines:Time. We were we were there and we worked together as a team.
Jackman Ochs:The mean gen thing mean gen thing is you. That's you. Tony Evans takes some victory here
Brian Hines:against Ragnar. As was kind of expected, although, good effort by Ragnar this week. Main? Yes. The main event.
Jackman Ochs:Ragnar. Let's get some protein shakes for that boy.
Brian Hines:Just a thought. We'll get some some steaks.
Jackman Ochs:Just a thought. Yeah. Some steaks.
Brian Hines:Some lean protein.
Jackman Ochs:Just something.
Brian Hines:Just something. Sure.
Jackman Ochs:Just a little something. Maybe stop maybe stop by the gas station next time you come to the day of the stream. The, the, the
Brian Hines:Main event of hour 2. The main event of the night. The, main event of hour 2. Features, a newly it's good to see the fallen again. We've seen ZDP every week for probably the past 2 months.
Jackman Ochs:Well, and it's hard, man. People love ZDP They do. In the Davis arena.
Brian Hines:I saw one of the the best things I've seen in the last couple weeks at Davis arena is there's
Jackman Ochs:a little boy who's been Comes and dressed like ZDP.
Brian Hines:He he's been ringside, and he's had just a little sign with red letters that says ZDP. And whenever ZDP comes out,
TyniBrian:this kid just loses his marbles. And I absolutely I love watching
Brian Hines:him watch ZDP almost as much as I love watching ZDP.
Jackman Ochs:I like that whenever he's walking around, he still got, lost little kid face everywhere, but he's dressed like a zombie. So he just looks like like a lost zombie everywhere he goes. Like, you know that face that little kids make Yeah. Every like, because everything's just so new and loud and, like, different for them. They just don't know what's going on, but he's dressed like he's, like, dressed in bloody clothes, and he's just like, uh-huh.
Brian Hines:Yeah. That's my favorite part.
TyniBrian:I stood I stood in line by in front of him and his dad.
Jackman Ochs:It is. He's adorable, man. He's an adorable little kid.
TyniBrian:Great little family. Shout out to them. I hear I think dad listens. So shout out to you.
Jackman Ochs:Shout out to you, man. Shout out to you. Come by the studio. Please do. Yeah.
Jackman Ochs:Seriously. Bring bring many ZDP.
TyniBrian:Yes. Lowercase is ZDP. ZDP,
Jackman Ochs:The Fallen Nephilim Yes. At this point.
Brian Hines:And they are in action against Tusks and Chains, t w 3 and Simone Donovan.
Jackman Ochs:Simone Simone d'Alavino. Simone d'Alavino. Dimon Salavino. Right? Is the Nephilim.
Brian Hines:You Easy for you to say.
Jackman Ochs:Don't know. Confuse me. Raven Simone d'Alevino. No. It's Dimon Salavino.
TyniBrian:It's Dimon Salavino.
Jackman Ochs:It's Dimon Salavino, head of the crime family. The the the fallen crime family. He faced it. The fallen face doesn't change. Well, listen.
Jackman Ochs:Come on. We're almost done. We're almost done here. Come on, Mike. Yeah.
Jackman Ochs:Let's finish. Come on. Come on.
TyniBrian:Let's finish strong here. It's like
Jackman Ochs:Come on,
Brian Hines:guys. Don't push through. Come on. Alright. So it was a a fantastic match between both teams.
Jackman Ochs:I don't want no tests and chains. Really?
Brian Hines:Sorry. I had to get that one in there. I do.
TyniBrian:They had to win there.
Jackman Ochs:That's a that's a Jack Harlow reference. Ah. That's for the younger crowd. We skew we skew very badly with the younger crowd. So I'm trying to throw be be relevant for them.
Jackman Ochs:I don't want no Tuss and Chains. Just cut that. Sample it.
Brian Hines:I wish I could cut that from my brain, but I am I'm unable to do that.
Jackman Ochs:Doesn't change. I don't think and and we said we said this pretty much every match here. We said this pretty much every match here. It's the Thursday before Saturday pay per view. Not a lot is gonna change, whether it be our perceptions or, like, standing or, like, you know, titles.
Jackman Ochs:Not a lot's gonna change right before the pay per view. But I say I say that when I'm in that, Tustin chains take a win over The Fallen, but one big thing did change here on the way out of the broadcast.
Brian Hines:It's most certainly did. After their win over The Fallen, what to my wondering eye should appear, but human thumb, Adam Revolver, showing up with a tag team title belt, addressing tusks and chains, and talking about how, the Overmen are, constantly expanding their reach and circling back around to what we talked about at the top of the hour.
Jackman Ochs:At the very, very top of the show here.
Brian Hines:The new Overman is Beau, and I'm not going to repeat Adam
Jackman Ochs:Law, that's
Brian Hines:dorky joke. That was awful. I I I thought it in my head and I thought, oh, god. Don't say it. If you do it, you're a tool.
Brian Hines:And And guess what? You're a tool.
Jackman Ochs:And guess what? It is the exact joke. Overman, they just got a new member named Beau. It is the exact joke you're thinking of, and Admiral Revolver said it on international television. He was proud of it, guys.
Jackman Ochs:He was really proud of it, and that's egregious. He should have been stripped of the title right there. Should have been stripped of the title for that joke.
TyniBrian:Editorially, I would just like to throw in the joke was Boverman.
Jackman Ochs:No. No. No. No. No.
Jackman Ochs:No. No. Now can I cut that? Now can I cut that?
