00:00A wrestler legitimately suspended in TNA, more Hulk Hogan controversy, my review of

00:05the All In Go Home episode of AEW Dynamite, and of course, we talk to our special American

00:13Correspondent MJF, I'm Oli Davis, and this is the WrestleTalk News.

00:24Following Hulk Hogan endorsing Donald Trump at the Republican National Convention earlier

00:28this month, TMZ released a video of the Hulkster joking about body slamming and dropping the

00:33leg on Kamala Harris, as well as questioning her racial identity.

00:37Hogan addressed the controversy as though it was a heavy night out, explaining that

00:41was the beer talking.

00:42And it turns out that was just the start of beer running wild on the Hulkster's reputation.

00:48According to ABC News Cleveland, a 50-year-old woman received nine stitches after she was

00:52struck by a beer can at a promotional event for Hogan's own Real American Beer.

00:58According to the police report, some witnesses claimed it was Hogan who threw the beer, while

01:02others have stated that it was another crew member throwing beers from the stage like

01:06a baseball pitch.

01:07No one was arrested or charged as a result of the conflicting information.

01:10But while Hogan himself hasn't been cancelled, his movie sure has.

01:15A Hulk Hogan biopic starring Chris Hemsworth as the Hulkster has been in the works since

01:202019, but Netflix pulled out last year.

01:23While Hemsworth has recently said he still wants to make the film, the project's director,

01:27Joker's Todd Phillips, has now told Variety he won't be a part of it.

01:32Spare a thought for former Hit Row star AJ Francis, who has posted,

01:36It is consistently so embarrassing as a black man and a wrestler when people ask me who

01:40my favorite wrestler was when I started watching wrestling as a kid and I have to admit it

01:45was Hulk Hogan.

01:46Former Impact World Champion Rich Swann has been suspended following a June 8th arrest

01:50for disorderly public intoxication and causing a disturbance in Florida.

01:55According to the arrest report filed, it was due to two incidents.

01:58One where Swann attempted to forcefully enter an apartment door, and another where he followed

02:02a woman in the same neighbourhood.

02:04Police described Swann as incoherent and appearing to be intoxicated.

02:08Swann admitted that he'd had a lot to drink, starting around three hours earlier.

02:12Swann was released from John E. Polk Correction Facility in Sanford, Florida the following

02:16day on a $250 bond.

02:18It was revealed that Swann was actually arrested for the same charge in September 2022, but

02:24this hadn't been previously reported, and TNA were only made aware of this recent arrest

02:28when Post Wrestling contacted them for comment on August 20th.

02:32TNA said in a statement to Post that Swann is voluntarily entering a rehab program for

02:37substance abuse, with TNA choosing to suspend Swann pending completion of its own investigation.

02:43Back into the much nicer, worked world of kayfabe, WWE have removed Roman Reigns from

02:47his next scheduled appearance, which was supposed to be the September 13th episode of SmackDown.

02:53This is a big deal, as that is the show's debut episode on the USA Network following

02:58their move from Fox.

03:00This follows Jacob Fatu attacking him on last Friday's episode, and implies Roman won't

03:04be around for the next several weeks around bashing Berlin.

03:08But now it's time to hear from our special American Correspondent, MJF.

03:14Hey MJF.

03:16Hey Dickhead.

03:18And, of course, Dynamite took place from the UK last night.

03:25I wanted to tell you thanks for saying that my part of the television show was the best

03:30bit of TV you've ever seen as a fan.

03:32I mean, that was absolutely incredible of you.

03:35Thank you so much.

03:37I'll just make a note to...

03:39I was going to say it anyway.

03:40Yeah, yeah, yeah.

03:41Well, you already said it, I thought.

03:43Yeah.

03:44Yeah, yeah, yeah.

03:45But what's your take on, you know, being our American Correspondent, what's the United

03:49States perspective?

03:50It was weird being in Wales, a place where they're obviously very well known for, let's

03:55be honest here, having sex with sheep.

03:58And also, obviously being very poor, fledgling, smelly, and just all around horrible people.

04:06I felt, for the most part, they were okay out there.

04:10Little loud, for my taste.

04:12I mean, they really wouldn't shut up.

04:13I was trying to speak, they kept interrupting me, but for the most part, I think that they

04:17respected the fact that I'm an American hero, I'm the American champion, and they're fully

04:21aware that their English boy is really not going to be up to snuff when it comes to this

04:28Sunday, August 25th, at Wembley Stadium.

04:30So for the most part, I would say those sheepshaggers were okay with me.

04:36It's Thursday, you know what that means, my review of AEW Dynamite in about 5 minutes.

04:45The episode opened on Mercedes Monet and Britt Baker's TBS title match contract signing,

04:49where the rule was neither could physically assault the other.

04:51Verbally assaulting, though, was fair game, and with this being the first ever Dynamite

04:56from the United Kingdom, our typically fantastic crowd was happy to oblige, chanting shut the

05:02eff up at Monet.

05:04They shifted their story into a discussion on the legacy of women's wrestling.

05:08Personally, that makes me less into the feud, as I find it a bit patronising when lady feuds

05:12in 2024 all seem to have to be about the women's revolution.

05:16I just want them to hate each other on equal grounds.

05:19Britt couldn't touch Monet, but she could hit Camille, so she bonked her in the head

05:22with the mic, and dove onto both of them on a chair.

05:25Chris Jericho got an anti-local hometown pop by saying how great it is to be in Cardiff

05:29England, and then took on Tommy Billington, the nephew of British wrestling legend the

05:36Dynamite Kid.

05:37Jericho gave Billington a lot, only getting on top when Brian Keith and Big Bill interfered,

05:41but ended up catching Dynamite Kid's flying headbutt into a codebreaker to win.

05:45A nice example of a signature move finishing the match.

05:48And not the Judas effect, because it kinda sucks.

05:51Hook ran down afterwards, and Big Bill laid him out with a chokeslam, as Hook hasn't

05:55learned anything about attacking people in 3-on-1 situations despite being in this feud

05:59for 7 months.

06:00Because nobody grows in Jericho Vortex feuds, they're just there for Jericho to feed off

06:05their life force.

06:07Toni Storm is so over, the crowd actually cheered her over the local, albeit heel, Soraya.

06:11This was mostly a comedy match, with Harley Cameron interference, dueling pose-offs and

06:16two Greco-Roman lip locks.

06:18Toni won with the Storm Zero, to be jumped by Mariah May's literal heel attack afterwards.

06:22There wasn't anything new here.

06:24Mark Briscoe revealed him and Karl O'Reilly will be in the Casino Gauntlet match in a

06:27typically fun backstage conglomeration promo.

06:30Then came the kind of segment fitting for a go-home episode of AEW's biggest show

06:35of the year.

06:36Will Ospreay go in face-to-face with MJF, finally, on kind of home turf?

06:42Ospreay soaked in the thunderous reaction from his countrymen, and played directly to

06:46my teenage years from 2004 to 2006 by referencing the sitcom Gavin and Stacey, and also Barry

06:53Scott's Cillit Bang Kitchen Cleaner commercials.

06:56MJF, however, changed tact from his USA vs UK promos over the last month.

07:02He instead made this about wrestling business and philosophy, first saying Will's not

07:06the best wrestler, as it's just the fans who like his flips, Max, however, is recognised

07:11by critics and TV networks as a generational talent, and AEW and Warner Bros begged him

07:16to return from injury early because Ospreay wasn't a ratings draw.

07:20But Ospreay countered, saying this is where the best wrestle, yet last year's All In

07:25was main evented by two friends jerking each other off, a shot at Max's more sports entertainment

07:30tendencies.

07:31And Tony Khan had rang Will while he was with New Japan, even though he had like 3,000 people

07:36under contract and their nan, Trent's mum actually, to put on a great in-ring match

07:40because he didn't trust his champion MJF would do it in the main event.

07:45He said the fans used to love Max, but they don't love him anymore.

07:49Which is when the prestige happened, the reveal of MJF's true motivation throughout

07:55this feud.

07:56It wasn't about the US vs the UK, it wasn't about flips vs working smart, it wasn't

08:01even who's the best wrestler.

08:04Max, after being composed for this entire promo, broke and screamed, they loved me until

08:10you showed up and ruined it.

08:13MJF's true motivation behind his hate of Ospreay is his own insecurity, and once again,

08:19and technically all along, Max reveals himself as the most psychologically fascinating character

08:24in all of wrestling.

08:26In an effort to regain status, MJF went to the bottom of the barrel, saying how Will's

08:30kid isn't biologically his, and after Max spoke to Ospreay's wife earlier today, the

08:34next kid she has won't be Will's either.

08:37Will was told he'd be fined £100,000 if he hit Max, and he thought, well, worth it,

08:42and had a pull apart brawl.

08:43But MJF got the better of him using the diamond ring, bloodying Will, and just being stopped

08:48from using the Tiger Driver by security.

08:50But later on, Bryan Danielson went up to a blooded Ospreay backstage, and finally gave

08:55him permission to use that move against Max, quoting the Great Shia LaBeouf.

09:19Hangman Page revealed backstage he's in the casino gauntlet, and he's going to run

09:22through anyone in his way to swerve Strickland.

09:25Poor Evil Uno chose this moment to walk past and reveal he's in the match too, so Page

09:29cracked him in the skull with a chair.

09:31Okada and Claudio Castagnoli went to a 20 minute time limit draw in a really good Continental

09:35Championship match that, in true Okada style, was very decent for the first 15 minutes,

09:40and absolutely awesome for the final five.

09:43Okada spilled into the ropes near the end from a Claudio uppercut with just seconds

09:46left to go, holding onto the bottom rope like a coward, meaning he retained on a draw.

09:52Hopefully this sets up a longer match for All Out.

09:54The Jacksons and Jack Perry then came down to deny the crowd five more minutes, which

09:58turned into a brawl, which turned into the next match.

10:01Your weekly six man fun segment, this time with The Elite vs Darby Allin and FDR.

10:05Do you think Darby has a dangerously fast bullet dive outside?

10:08Wait until you've seen Cash Wheeler run full speed with a tope through the ropes.

10:12It's just as fast as Darby, but like, five times more dense.

10:16The babyface challengers got the win with a superplex splash and coffin drop combo on

10:20Matt Jackson ahead of their respective title matches this Sunday.

10:23And then the Acclaimed came out to remind us they're also in the tag match.

10:27It's not that I've not been into Bryan Danielson vs Swerve Strictland, it's that

10:31I've felt Bryan Danielson isn't into Bryan Danielson vs Swerve Strictland.

10:35It's tough for me to believe in a career vs title stipulation when the guy whose career

10:39is on the line keeps saying, yeah, I want to stop wrestling so I can be a dad.

10:43But he's been the best wrestler in the world for the last 20 years for a reason.

10:47He can make you believe whenever he wants.

10:50After Nigel McGuinness healed it up by putting over Swerve Strictland, and Strictland implied

10:54he'll attack Danielson's family home, Bryan ran down, hit the knee, and then cut

10:59the kind of promo that instantly adds 20,000 more buys for the pay-per-view.

11:04It was simple and sweary.

11:06He said he's the best effing wrestler in the world, he's going to leave his soul

11:09in the ring for all the fans, everyone backstage, and his wife and family, and he asked the

11:15crowd can Danielson, the American effing dragon, beat Swerve for the title, where, of course,

11:21they erupted in yes chants.

11:24That's a go-home show.

11:26This week's Dynamite is 88%.

11:28We've also made a mighty fine show.

11:31Some are calling it one of the funniest videos we've ever made.

11:34So go to our video game channel Control Freaks now to watch us play Gang Beasts.

11:38Here's a clip.

12:08Well done.

12:09Well done.

12:10He's just holding his jaw down.

12:11Knockout!

12:12Knockout!

12:13Knockout!

12:14Knockout!
