There's a lot going on since I left you today, and I'm going to talk about that after Don Callis joins the show, because I just got to do my job and talk about the go-home episode to Double or Nothing, or as we now and will forever be known as, The Don. Um... Right off the bat, I love the promo with Jericho the Young Bucks. And I got to say, this show... AEW has great momentum right now. And it continues. Obviously, going into $15,000 sold out... is cool. It's cool for the locker room. It's cool for the buzz. But this buzz continues for AEW. And I love it. Like I said, Wednesday, let it be AEW's night. Sunday, let it be AEW's night as well. And The reasons why I feel AEW, when they first burst upon the scene as the alternative, as the much-needed product in pro wrestling and had the buzz, was exactly like an episode I saw tonight.
Tommy Dreamer 1:24
I mean, it was next-level exciting.
Yeah.
Tommy Dreamer 1:29
if it's a precursor show, the go-home show, where old school used to take it easy, but there is no taking it easy. So we start off with a very entertaining promo with Chris Jericho. and the Young Bucks, they also acknowledge the past. And if there are vets for this stadium stampede match, it's Jericho and it's Nick and Matt Jackson. I love the promo. They went back and forth with the name. It was a beautiful day in New York. It was a beautiful day, obviously, in Portland. And the back and forth banter, what the name's going to be, it's funny, ha-ha. But then it's also like, you know, and comedy and wit is really what also got Chris Jericho over a lot in his career.

How does Tommy Dreamer feel about the promos featuring Jericho and the Young Bucks?

Tommy Dreamer 2:23
Chris Jericho, one of the you know, he's a Hall of Famer, but he's, you know, a guy who helped solidify you know AEW when he showed up on that podium that day as and I view him him as the Terry Funk he gave the that company if Terry Funk was involved in ECW you knew it's going to have some legs and if uh Chris Jericho is involved in this company you know it's going to have some legs um and it has and it continues to to do well um So they had their back and forth. I personally like Bucks of Jericho, if I'm asking, if it's taking my vote. So now we get to the match. And the match was... Freaking awesome. I mean, I tell you guys all the time, we had a team mentality in the original ECW. I have tried to preach my best for every locker room I've ever been in, especially in TNA.
Tommy Dreamer 3:27
Like, we are a team, and you're only as good as your parts in the ring. And that... opener with the tag match was so so good on so many different levels i also gotta say watching the young bucks work um really like i love the young bucks how they blow their comebacks and it's always unique it's always different both guys also have gotten themselves in such good shape you know and i want to see them continue the way uh they do in the ring and then um but just the uniqueness and it's always different and you never know um what they're going to do. And they're facing guys who all have a unique, different style with the Don Callis family and Ricochet. Everybody could do different things, but there are different styles out there.
Tommy Dreamer 4:34
And in the beginning, and I feel this is a match where everyone got over. In the beginning, it was very, very Young Bucks and Jericho-centric. Why? It just gets the people into it. And it also shows Chris Jericho still got it. The Young Bucks are still so, so innovative. Andrade and Mark Davis are really doing their best stuff with this. And Ricochet, you're always going to have some great stuff. So it was a really, really entertaining, fun show. Action-packed six-man to open up. They go for heat with a distraction again. Big Dunkaroo comes for the chair and referee catches it. Outside interference from the rest of the Don Callis family and the participants for this big match, stadium stampede.

What insights does Tommy Dreamer provide about AEW's momentum?

Tommy Dreamer 5:37
Which is going to be hard because that's a hard match to follow. And sometimes it's been on the end, sometimes it's been in the beginning.
