00:01:28Yes

00:01:29It's gotta be off to the side. It's a whole lot goes involved with making that look proper. It's a start of a new week

00:01:35I'm just looking for new opportunities to show that I've been taking everything that Booker T is showing us in practice and

00:01:42applying that to the matches

00:01:45And for the future greats a coveted NXT contract

00:01:51You haven't had a match yet, I want my chance at a match how are you earning your chance at a match?

00:01:59Whatever we got in store today. I gotta do my best to earn it cuz last week I blew it your personality has to

00:02:05Come through and like I said, I don't know how much personality lies in there

00:02:10And if you're hiding it, you're not doing anybody any good. Like if you're some big goof

00:02:15I want to see big goof. You're shaking your head. Yes, you've seen this

00:03:05Notice how they're all sitting around they're talking like real serious

00:03:11Tackle drop down and grab the arm bar will get it again

00:03:16none of that

00:03:29Welcome to the ultimate proving ground 16 future greats

00:03:39Or legends

00:03:42Of WrestleMania, I have broke down barriers for women

00:03:52The chance to win the net XD contract

00:03:58Every legend has a first chapter the future starts now

00:04:02The future great

00:04:09The rock just wants to know exactly who it is you had in mind for his opponents

00:04:20You better remember I've had chunks of guys bigger than you in my stool a

00:04:26WWE superstar has to connect with the audience

00:04:30practicing promos and being comfortable speaking is

00:04:34Just as if not more important than having the ability to lock up and be physical with your opponent

00:04:48Trash-talking has been an important part of professional wrestling since the day pro wrestling was invented

00:04:55Somebody's got to stir the crowd up

00:04:57Cutting promos is one of the most important aspects of sports entertainment

00:05:03Talk about John 316

00:05:06Austin 316 says I just whipped your ass

00:05:11It's a vital part of your development

00:05:15But before the future greats can focus on their promo skills Shawn Michaels has called them together to make an important announcement

00:05:22Hello everybody, good morning. Hello everyone. How y'all doing?

00:05:28Legends and of course the future greats. I want to have an opportunity here obviously to speak to everyone. But first I

00:05:34Want to let BJ Ray update everybody what's going on?

00:05:38Yeah, so

00:05:40Unfortunately this past weekend when I was working one of the live shows

00:05:43I abstained an injury to my shoulder

00:05:47We have the opportunity to travel all around, Florida on the weekends and

00:05:51Put on shows that's their opportunity when they get to get up in front of the crowds in front of the fans and and

00:05:59showcase what they practiced all week and

00:06:02unfortunately BJ was injured during one of his live event matches and

00:06:08Hopefully it's not too bad. There's no tell on how long I'm gonna be out for. I know a lot of you

00:06:13Might be happy or concerned. The number one spot just opened up. Don't get too comfortable

00:06:19It's not over till the fat lady sings and I'm gonna be working hard to get back in here

00:06:23unfortunately

00:06:24You are out and that means that

00:06:29There is a space available. What we're going to do is we're going to have a tag team match

00:06:36with four other individuals and obviously all of you legends will have

00:06:41A say in this but ultimately

00:06:44Bubba this is a space on your team that needs to be filled. So the final

00:06:49Decision will come down to you

00:06:51This was a big deal to us because this is somebody that's gonna come in and be on our team with us and represent team

00:06:56Bubba and

00:06:57Could have opportunity to earn us points or maybe not earn us points

00:07:02Somebody has a huge opportunity

00:07:06All right

00:07:08All right, so let's go all right

00:07:17BJ is banged up. I care but I can only care so much

00:07:22this industry is very difficult and it's very physical and

00:07:27Injuries happen all the time

00:07:30All I can do is listen to BJ and give him the best advice. I can go home rest up

00:07:37Live to fight another day. It's the prognosis. Did they tell you exactly what's wrong with it?

00:07:41We don't know. We're just I got my MRI this morning and they're just waiting on the results. Okay. Well, here's the cliche

00:07:46Everything happens for a reason. I have seen plenty of

00:07:49Talents young and old get injured at the most

00:07:54Inopportune times and at that moment, it seems like the absolute worst time in the world to get hurt

00:08:00But somehow when they come back, yeah, it seems like that

00:08:05Time to get hurt was actually the best time to get hurt. I did want some input from him

00:08:11Hopefully his injury isn't that bad and they'll be back as soon as possible. Would you like to help me?

00:08:17Find your replacement on the team

00:08:23Well first out of my head obviously that sucks but yes for the sake of the team

00:08:28I'm a team player. I'll do it

00:08:30Well, if I have to go if there's no other option if I could help on my opinion give Bubba the best piece of advice

00:08:37I'm gonna do so, okay

00:08:39Sounds good. Thank you, coach

00:09:00So

00:09:06All right

00:09:08generic guy

00:09:09black hat

00:09:11Drake Starks

00:09:13this big kid with a look is

00:09:17Josh black

00:09:19The Joseph JB ringside and Jeremy seems Bubba's impressed with at least half this duo

00:09:24Well, certainly getting to see them for the first time Bubba has so much invested in this so much on the line in this showcase

00:09:42I like cowboy hat

00:09:44That's already appealing to Mickey James known for her own hardcore country style

00:09:50Certainly is and how about Cutler James stepping in the ring as well. I think I know who Mickey's gonna pick

00:09:58I think the cowboy had get it for you Mickey. I'm not sure about those chaps, though

00:10:06Could have been worse

00:10:08Could have been assless

00:10:11You got a few pairs of those don't you JB in the closet?

00:10:15Well, certainly that's why I'm gonna stick a commentary

00:10:17I'm not on camera all joking aside for athletes getting a huge opportunity one big decision though for Bubba Ray Dunn such a

00:10:24Big decision obviously in the wake of BJ Ray

00:10:28Coming to this injury now the opportunity is there for these four individuals to stand out get that just got tagged in as a big shooter

00:10:39Oh

00:10:41Big shooter from Duke

00:10:44Big shooter indeed that is Cutler James ACC standout as an amateur wrestler

00:10:49We're filling it up a former teammate at Duke with BJ Ray. These two are actually very familiar with each other

00:10:56There's a lot to like when you take a look

00:10:59So far these guys have been impressive and they were for the guys that didn't get big yeah, that's what I was thinking

00:11:06That's quite some praise is it not it certainly is some praise and these four individuals of all bottom about a year of

00:11:13Experience of the ring and I think that's gonna show here in this showcase match

00:11:17We need to get some muscle in the ring. All right

00:11:21Saving big Josh Black for the hot tag

00:11:25Who are we to debate with Booker and Bubba when it comes to tag team philosophy?

00:11:28Well, certainly if you're looking at that opportunity for Josh Black to get in the ring and showcase what he's about to do

00:11:34Cutler James throwing the elbow making the tag pace hatch and a tag team certainly

00:11:39Jelling well so far this match. Yeah, there's hatch former fullback

00:11:42Arizona State helped lay the foundation for the Sun Devils who obviously got in the last year's college football playoff

00:11:48But Cutler and hatch they're making the most of their time right now here on LFG

00:11:53They could have built that bigger

00:11:55They could have built that bigger

00:11:58No

00:11:59Well, you know all that anticipation for black it seems the airs kind of been let out here so to speak what just

00:12:17What are you doing

00:12:19Oh

00:12:25Yes, you are gonna have me think what are you doing up here with us it doesn't take long for me to recognize talent

00:12:31There's part of me that felt like talent. Oh, you know, this is where the legends sit

00:12:34That's why I'd be up here

00:12:38You think it's a smart idea for you to just come up here especially with who I'm sitting next to and just

00:12:44Put your two cents in

00:12:50Fair enough, you're trying to help and we discussed this earlier. Don't sit over there and

00:12:56Help from a distance

00:12:58That was the outspoken Ray was part of Bubba's team

00:13:03DJ Ray taking it upon himself to maybe help Bubba with the selection process as one of these four

00:13:08Individuals will be the next member of team Bubba Ray Douglas a suplex by starts and a kick out

00:13:20Bubba

00:13:22The big man Josh black

00:13:25Yeah, you pick Josh black. Yeah, that means that means that means he's your least favorite

00:13:30No, there's Booker being Booker. But look when it comes to black. He's a former New Orleans Saint who just tagged out

00:13:38Starts is legal, but hatch does the same and back in come big Cutler James who is swinging

00:13:45JV for the fence. Well, certainly an impressive physicality

00:13:49impressive individual Cutler James

00:13:52Wow

00:13:53Clothesline and Wow already Cutler James making a statement and he has to be thinking Bubba Ray's got a pick me

00:14:00I got this opportunity. I'm gonna make the best of it

00:14:03And just think about this right now

00:14:05How impressive has Cutler James been the strength and in planning starts center of the ring?

00:14:12Floating over and just like that this matchups over

00:14:19I

00:14:24Talk to me about this guy

00:14:34What if I told you he was the standout to me so far

00:14:40Thank you, goodbye, I

00:14:41Thought all four guys did a good job in that tag team match. As a matter of fact, I'm saying to myself Wow

00:14:47I wonder why these four guys didn't make it

00:14:56After the tag team tryout match the four hopefuls face the judges

00:15:00We'll find out which of them will be joining LFG for a chance at an NXT contract

00:15:06All right, Bubba Ray Dudley. Obviously, you have a big decision to make here today. Hold on one second. Come here. Oh

00:15:13Come on, you know this guy

00:15:15Okay, you know this guy yes or no just a yes or no, yeah, do you like him he

00:15:23Has a say in your destiny

00:15:27How do you feel about that?

00:15:30You didn't like what I just had to say why

00:15:33Vijay and I have history what history Walt went to the same school. He was a slack-ass on the team and

00:15:41Got into it here a little bit as well. You got into it here. That's right

00:15:45Cutler's not the guy and as you guys know, I don't sugarcoat anything. The guy is

00:15:49drier than a bone

00:15:51Has no personality. I

00:15:54Want what's best for my team and I know what's best for my team was Drake Starks. It's your choice

00:16:05Think that's the best two options. Obviously, I'm a little bit you think that's in the best interest of the team 100% Thank You

00:16:12Cutler you got the spot

00:16:22As soon as I'm trying to give the guy a piece of advice you just steers me away and goes

00:16:25All right Cutler. You're our choice. So I'm like dude, what was the point in even asking me to help you?

00:16:32Very excited to work with lover, right?

00:16:34That's interesting because he was I'm replacing BJ and I think BJ and I are like

00:16:38Polar opposites and they seem to have a good connection the two of them. So I'm curious how I'll fit into that dynamic. I

00:16:46Know what? I like when I like it and there was something about

00:16:50Cutler I

00:16:52Liked his fire

00:16:54Obviously looks the part. I'm gonna dive into his soul and see if we can pull it out of him

00:17:01When he finds out that he made the wrong choice with Cutler James

00:17:05I cannot wait to look Bubba in his face and tell him I told you so

00:17:12With team Bubba now back to being a full squad the legends and future greats return to the PC gym to once again meet with

00:17:19Shawn Michaels

00:17:21All right, Bubba. Congratulations on your new team member. Thank you. All right now down to business a

00:17:28Lot of what you've been doing is working on that performance in the ring

00:17:34Very important part of this business is talking them into the building. All right, what we call cutting a promo

00:17:42All right. Do you you know what I'm saying?

00:17:46Do you know oh

00:17:48You didn't know

00:17:50Yo ass should have called somebody make a hole and make it wide. I don't plan on cutting my stride a

00:17:56A

00:17:58Master of the microphone Road Dogg Jesse James was a staple of WWE's attitude era. Oh, you didn't know you better call

00:18:16With his sharp tongue and comedic time, there's a human owner. No, no, that's a hot dog half a hot dog this

00:18:23WWE Hall of Famer entertained audiences for years

00:18:27With success both in front of and behind the camera James is now a leader backstage at WWE

00:18:34Where he previously led the Smackdown creative team and now focuses on building future stars

00:18:41Now, you know me me that D to the O to the double G the OG MC and not just here at the PC

00:18:47But all over the W o R LD you feel me? I said, do you feel me?

00:18:52I don't think you heard me. I said, do you feel me?

00:18:57Have I got your attention? I

00:18:59Put on a little weight, but it's just water retention. You feel me Road Dogg is the man walk straight in drop

00:19:05My foot bars off the top of his head

00:19:07I'm excited to get to work with Road Dogg and I hope I can one day talk as good as he does

00:19:12You're learning a lot about the physical aspect of the game. But what I'm here to talk to you about is

00:19:18the verbal aspect of the game

00:19:20We can't just show up on TV and punch each other in the face every week because that's gonna get redundant

00:19:24It's gonna get old and then your punches are not gonna mean anything

00:19:27So so we have to be able to talk them in as I like to say and that's talk them into

00:19:33Buying a ticket to that to that venue to see that match. You know what I mean?

00:19:37Here's a here's one important lesson that I want you to think about

00:19:40You have to believe the words coming out of your mouth

00:19:44Because if you don't believe them, I don't believe them

00:19:47And so they have to be true to you and while they don't have to be real

00:19:52You have to really believe them

00:19:53You know what? I mean, if that makes sense that brings me to the next point talking trash

00:19:59Like who in here because you got to talk some trash. You got to be able to talk some trash

00:20:05So shallow Hill if you had to talk some trash

00:20:08Who would you talk it to and what would you say?

00:20:11It's scary, you know, cuz I would I'd want to pick Chris Island

00:20:15But I feel like he's kind of got an unfair advantage with all that extra memory and that big old head of his

00:20:26We're gonna do it like that

00:20:37We can't do this sitting down so let's stand up

00:20:39We're gonna do a promo battle now and let's see who comes out on top of that

00:20:43Come on up back up. Yeah back up a little bit back up a little bit

00:20:54After a lesson in trash-talking the future greats square off in a roast battle to determine tonight's matches

00:21:02Guys we talked about the cerebral and the verbal aspect of this game

00:21:06Some of that is trash-talking

00:21:09Trash-talking now, we're gonna get into it here. Shallow Hill and Chris Island

00:21:14Dog come in and he's setting the tone. He he's demonstrating exactly what he wants

00:21:21Us to show it was just it was just game for me to suck up and I loved all of it

00:21:26My name is Chris Island just turned 22. I'm from the Bay Area. I'm just a Cali kid, man

00:21:31I'm from the Bay Area. I'm just a Cali kid, man. I definitely have a lot of inspiration

00:21:37but

00:21:38There's nobody like me

00:21:40Sports is my identity. It's who i've been my entire life. They invited me to a tryout. I put my all into that

00:21:49You know, I got my moment I got my ticket and now i'm here

00:21:52I'm not promised tomorrow. It's Chris Island. He is somebody who makes the most out of each and every day and that's why i'm different

00:21:58Back up guy back up a little bit back up a little bit. All right. All right

00:22:03I'm tired of hearing about big heads from people with big heads

00:22:06But i'm not even worried about that because i'd be outside while you stuck in your mama's basement building what rc cars?

00:22:11What's it called the beast? Come on, bro. Go touch some grass, bro

00:22:15What was this? What did you do? I like rc cars go touch some grass makes a lot of sense

00:22:20Coming from someone built like the purple backyard again, bro. You look like you look like a mike tyson bobblehead

00:22:26You look like a mike tyson bobblehead mike tyson bobblehead. Yes, sir

00:22:31It's funny you bring up mike tyson because you toothless dog, but I still won't let you ever come near my ear, bro

00:22:36Your head is so big that you got to get dressed in the morning feet first into your shirt, bro

00:22:42Come on, come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Let's give somebody else a chance both of you. Good job

00:22:48I don't know if shiloh spent all night thinking about me and the size of my head or what?

00:22:53I wasn't thinking about him that long

00:22:55All I know is he don't got a tooth. That's all I know

00:22:59Here we are here. We are back talking about trash talking trash talking

00:23:03So what did you need to do is bury somebody verbally bury their fanny, so i'm gonna pitch it to you

00:23:08Danny, I see what I did there

00:23:11I'm not wanting to back from a challenge. So i'm going to choose a big body

00:23:14Someone with an even bigger ego, but the smallest presence in the room. Nina. Why don't you step forward?

00:23:26My name is panina tulipa p nasty that's kind of like the nickname they gave me here at the pc

00:23:33Rugby is big in our polynesian culture. I enjoy the physicality being able to smack somebody for free. Yeah, sign me up

00:23:44I am samoan descent samoan females. We know how to throw down discipline respect loyalty

00:23:52It's the energy that we just naturally have it's the tenacity that we naturally have

00:24:47I've fought nina before i've beaten nina before do I think she maybe got me in that battle?

00:24:52I don't know. I started out pretty strong, but on the end there

00:24:55She she may have got me a little bit, but i'm i'm happy with my performance and uh, we'll work on it

00:25:01Who's hungry for some more who wants to step up?

00:27:16Well, that was fun so fun they got heated a little bit a couple of them, you know what I mean

00:27:20I expected a little more out of my boy chris because he's pretty quick with it. And so I was a little disappointed

00:27:25I'll be honest. Okay. I thought he's gonna do better, but that's okay. They all need work

00:27:30They all need work

00:27:32Personally, I thought it all sucked. I didn't think any of them really talked great trash

00:27:37I didn't think they would because they were really put on the spot, right?

00:27:42You set the table with the trash talking and now I want to see what you're going to take

00:27:47into the ring

00:27:49See, it's all part of what it is that we do that storytelling

00:27:53Yeah, I think all those face-offs are matches tonight

00:27:56Now we're gonna see how well they can follow it up

00:27:59The promo battle was fire. And so that's exactly how we came up with the matches. Let's see what they can do physically

00:28:06We saw their verbal attack. Let's see what the full frontal attack is like shiloh hill and chris island

00:28:12I definitely want to see them you can feel tension building. They made me want to see that

00:28:17What about drake moreau and tony luke, yeah, yeah, yeah two big boys, what do you think when it goes down?

00:28:22Oh my god, my god, we've been working man. We've been working so he's ready for that

00:28:27the ladies

00:28:28Got at it little danny little scrappy danny. Yeah. Well, what did she stand a chance against panina?

00:28:35You know, I was a little I was wondering what panina was because she is quite reserved

00:28:38But then she brought it too, but her presence in delivering the lines

00:28:42It sounded good and she grabbed your attention like oh, what what is she gonna say because she just had that that presence

00:28:48Yeah, yeah, she did. Well now let's see what she can do inside the squared. Oh, she's ready

00:28:53Well, she ain't gonna beat danny. She's not gonna beat danny. No, she ain't gonna beat danny. I got a secret weapon. Oh

00:28:59I love secret. Don't you worry about it?

00:29:06This week's matches have been set and the selected future greats begin their preparation

00:29:12Each of them hoping to impress the judges and earn a point for their team

00:29:17How you feeling you feel good feel good i'm really yeah

00:29:45Four-time champion michelle mccool redefined what it meant to be a female competitor in wwe

00:29:52Michelle mccool has made history the first ever diva champion known for her fierce athleticism

00:30:01Innovative moves and unwavering confidence

00:30:06She set the stage for future generations of women to break barriers and steal the spotlight

00:30:15Got a big match tonight. Yes, I do big challenger. What's your um finishing moves?

00:30:20I don't have any right now. So it's kind of a work in progress. It takes a while. She gets made all the time

00:30:27I was always

00:30:30Hang on this

00:30:32Yes

00:30:34What are you doing I happen to be married to the undertaker

00:30:38My husband did know I was coming

00:30:42However, he thought it was just a little getaway from the kids a little quiet time in the hotel

00:30:47He didn't know that mickey had called and asked me. You're helping mickey out. You said I could come help out

00:30:53It's not about me. This is a competition, right?

00:30:56All right, i'm digging up here now. Just hoping

00:31:00Is that cool? Sure, you're good

00:31:02All right, go ahead they're waiting on you. I love you. I love you, too

00:31:07Michelle and I had discussed her coming and helping coach, but uh, that was something that I really wasn't expecting

00:31:15um, yeah that may cause

00:31:17Mickey some problems later down the road

00:31:20But yeah finishing moves. Do you want to come up with something that you can catch anybody with something?

00:31:27Danny was struggling being a tiny girl

00:31:29Who's going to have to fight from behind in most of her matches and she was just looking for

00:31:33For some direction in how to catch her opponents for a finish

00:31:37Say they catch you in something. They've laid you out. Boom from this position. You can catch anybody just reach in here

00:31:43All I have to do is pull you

00:31:45They're coming down. You can get that right leg around a lot easier than I can i'm gonna wrap this other foot nice and tight

00:31:50And then i'm gonna pull down

00:31:52on my foot

00:31:54There was one submission and most people know it as hell's gate which happens to be

00:31:59the submission my husband used

00:32:02John look at this

00:32:07Oh my god

00:32:09one little catch

00:32:10I did kind of just steal that move from my husband who is undertaker

00:32:15Maybe go over there and ask him just out of respect if you can

00:32:19Use that move. Good luck. Thank you

00:32:23Good luck girl. Yeah, go get him. Okay, you got it. You got it

00:32:26Yeah

00:32:29Oh, yep

00:32:30just wondering you talked earlier about

00:32:32Uh connecting with the crowd not through just move sets three motions

00:32:37So when I go out there today, what's something I can think about to help me with that before my match?

00:32:41I went and spoke with bubba. I really just wanted his insight on on how to connect with the audience

00:32:47I can't tell you how to get over

00:32:50I don't know enough about you

00:32:53I need to see

00:32:55You in the ring tonight

00:32:57I need to pull his personality out of him. I need to know what makes him tick. Otherwise. He's just a big bland

00:33:05Vanilla guy who's never gonna cut it in world wrestling

00:33:10Entertainment you have a lot to offer

00:33:13You know you do right? Yes, sir

00:33:16Tonight is the night to prove that

00:33:19So my name is drake moreau I was born and raised in the swamps of louisiana

00:33:25swamp man

00:33:28If i'm out on a boat and there's an alligator and feeling froggy jump i'll jump on anything just gotta hold on

00:33:37I believe my football career went very well. I had the opportunity to go pro

00:33:41But once I was offered this opportunity, I had to take it being in the pc every day. I've loved this place

00:33:47Getting to learn from legends has been amazing. I know when I step out there. It's an uphill battle and i'm ready for the climb

00:34:00Hi coach taker, how are you?

00:34:02I'm good

00:34:03Um, so I wanted to come and talk to you because I was just with your wife michelle and I was thinking about

00:34:08Possible finishers and just something that fits my size and something I can do on anybody regardless of their strength their size their height

00:34:16And I wanted to see if it would be okay with you if I use the hell's gate submission

00:34:21Hell's gate. Yes, sir

00:34:24Hell's gate is locked

00:34:27Will the game submit

00:34:31I did have to ask him to use that submission in the match. It was the most intimidating

00:34:36Moment of probably my life thus far

00:34:38You got two minutes in this business and you're going to come ask me for one of my moves that I use for

00:34:4630 years

00:34:47Wow

00:34:52The fact that you had the courage to come and ask me

00:34:55Shows a lot about who you are

00:34:57So you have my blessing. Thank you so much. Good luck. Thank you, sir

00:35:02Back in the day. That's how things were done if you were going to use

00:35:07Someone else's move you had to go to them

00:35:10And and ask and that just kind of you know

00:35:13Gave me a little bit more respect for the person that danny is to do that. So

00:35:19I I did, uh reluctantly give her my blessing

00:35:27It's now time to get to action up first shiloh hill against chris island

00:35:35The following contest is scheduled for one fall

00:35:38Turn to you first representing team undertaker

00:35:56My goals going into this match were really one to earn a point for my team

00:35:59The undertaker said he wanted to see aggression from me

00:36:02Yeah

00:36:04Also like chris being

00:36:05Younger and newer just being able to lead him through like a match and put a good match together

00:36:18And his opponent representing team micky jay

00:36:25from bucksville, california

00:36:28weighing in at

00:36:30140 pounds

00:36:40Look at mickey james there at that non-verbal smack talk so supportive mickey james

00:36:46Mickey told me she just wants to see me be better than last week things

00:36:49We worked on last week were my foot placement making every step purposeful making every step have a reason, you know

00:36:55She wanted some reaches reaching out to the crowd reaching out to hard cam

00:37:01I mean those seem to be fixable issues

00:37:04For him. Well, it's always about the teachability factor and as these legends continue to mentor these future greats

00:37:11The real success here is being measured by how they implement that knowledge into their matchups here on lfg

00:37:17Shiloh started really really well in his first match and then he got a little confused halfway through. Let's see if you know

00:37:27Keep it together

00:37:29That's a fair critique remember it was hill yearwood who kind of got tied up but this is gonna be a hard-hitting affair

00:37:34And it's based on an earlier promo battle that we saw here on lfg

00:37:38Yeah, things got a little heated between shiloh hill and chris island and we're gonna see if that animosity

00:37:44To be projected inside the ring bell the bell here between these two future greats

00:37:48We say it each week how intimidating it is to step into the ring with the legends watching and now you've thrown another one

00:37:54The road dog sitting here getting a bird's eye view

00:37:57Oh, you didn't know road dog

00:37:59So great to have him here on lfg and you have to wonder if he's just injected that little bit of personality that these two

00:38:05Needed to get their work done in the ring

00:38:07Well mickey right now has to like the footwork here and even the body placement by chris island hip toss

00:38:14island in control

00:38:15Doesn't shoot hip toss

00:38:18Well, baby, that did look like

00:38:20Island was not going to be denied no question about it as you see this great amateur background from chris island

00:38:25So successful for him in college eight-time all-american in high school chris really excels

00:38:32Well right to the face in the chop block

00:38:35There's some of that intensity that the undertaker was looking for being cranked up right now by shiloh hill

00:38:42Shiloh hill capitalized that intensity is so important when the bell rings

00:38:47And undertaker is certainly a great example of that throughout his entire career not only having it

00:38:51It's also maintaining it and then also being able to harness it big clothesline by hill

00:38:59Don't let him breathe too much

00:39:01Don't take too much time

00:39:04The message clear stay on top of your opponent island is hurt

00:39:07You can't let him recover because if he is he's able to get back into the match like he is right here and right now

00:39:13Everybody stays so close together on everything. I dare him to create some space separation

00:39:21Covering a kick out again weekly progress lessons get tougher. They're critiqued. They're gonna get harsher from these legends

00:39:38Oh

00:39:43Crap that might have knocked him out for real. Oh my god

00:39:54The kid connected to the back of shiloh's head I didn't see it

00:39:58I didn't know how hard it was

00:40:00but then I saw shiloh fall and it was more like a sack of potatoes and I was like at first it was I was

00:40:05Like well, that was a hell of a sale

00:40:07He's out. He's out dude. He's out. Shut it down. He's hurt

00:40:13Oh my god, chris check on him, that's your opponent

00:40:20Everything can change in a moment inside the ropes. It's now up to wwe's medical staff to determine the extent of shiloh's injury

00:40:32Uh, no, nothing hurts at all i'm honestly gonna keep her

00:40:35No, no, you're not

00:40:39You did a great job you did a great job. No, we're good. You're good man. Yeah

00:40:44No, you're good. Come on out

00:40:47You did great

00:40:48Sit down brother. I remember like being like wait, like why why am I here?

00:40:51You know, I mean like i've been here for like a year and i've never

00:40:54Had an injury or anything and I was just didn't really know what happened

00:40:59Number one rule when you hurt somebody you're the first one there. Okay

00:41:03I didn't even know. Yeah, he he didn't get up, you know, like also as you're covering him

00:41:10The first question you ask is you good? Yeah. Thank you. Yeah, right. They don't have to see that. Yeah

00:41:18But you always make sure they're good

00:41:22All right, yeah go sit with him and make sure he's good

00:41:27Okay

00:41:29In that moment i'm just going through my head, you know, how did this happen

00:41:35I don't take that name promise child lightly, you know

00:41:38I've made promises to this company and i've made promises to reach a certain level in this company and things like that

00:41:44Are not a part of that promise, you know, I want everybody to trust me with the most in this business

00:41:51That's not something i'm just gonna write off as oh this happens, you know

00:41:56There's always a way to be better and this was a learning experience and I will be better

00:42:02While chris thinks about what went wrong and how to improve

00:42:06Undertaker and the legends call over the rest of the future greats for a much needed discussion

00:42:13If you're working with somebody and they're not responsive or they're not doing what they should be doing

00:42:18Like if they're face down don't even worry about trying to roll them over even if you realize it

00:42:22You just got to leave them alone. You never know what kind of neck injury that there's something like that that may happen

00:42:27That's just something that we need to really be cognizant of those type of situations. It's not going to happen. I mean they they happen

00:42:34But that's just a hell of a learning moment as well making one to bring you guys. I'm having it

00:42:39He just was very honest. He was like look guys. This is what comes with the business

00:42:44like this is what you signed up for and

00:42:47It's very important to be able to differentiate a real injury versus selling and knowing your opponent in that way

00:42:54Let's protect each other

00:42:56health

00:42:57Safety is paramount

00:43:00All right, thank you guys, yeah, thank you guys

00:43:07Injuries happen in sports entertainment, but the show must go on

00:43:11Mickey's secret weapon michelle mccool joins the legends to watch the next match. Thank you. What a gentleman. You're the best

00:43:17What a gentleman see chivalry's not dead

00:43:20These two here ain't nothing but trouble

00:43:23Sorry

00:43:29Imagine if you had a lick of wrestling

00:43:41Good

00:43:51My main focus make the match superstar level

00:43:57I have to be more aggressive

00:44:02Go in there and make everything bigger than

00:44:05Than I am we know she can do just that jb vick joseph jeremy borash here ringside

00:44:11He nasty and nina in the ring set to do battle

00:44:15pride and joy

00:44:31Mine and nina's match, you know battle of the big and small

00:44:35Oh

00:44:38That was really the main goal of the match I need to try to play to my size as an advantage

00:44:45Whoa, whoa

00:44:46To fight from from the ground up to be able to have that comeback and hopefully hit that submission

00:44:51Oh, you like the strategy of the former tennessee titan cheerleader because there's a lot on the line

00:44:56Between these two women here right now

00:44:58Danny sakowski certainly has her work cut out for stepping into the ring against p nasty

00:45:02Keep in mind p nasty comes to us with a rugby background. That means the size the strength the power she has it

00:45:10And we're going to see it on full display here this match

00:45:14Shout out by the way to michelle mccool for being here stepping up taking a look at the action

00:45:19Great to have michelle mccool here with us along with the road dog. Jesse james

00:45:24We're trying to get a side headlock it appears that that power quickly is on display

00:45:35All these athletes of course adapting to change jb well, that's what this is all about

00:45:40It's that teachability factor. It's being able to adapt to the change and learn how to do so and think on the fly

00:45:47I'm running into a brick wall

00:45:50Rugby background. Well, that certainly looks like just a brick wall background there

00:45:54Obviously what we've seen from panina is so impressive p nasty

00:45:58Taking it to danny sakowski. Good shot. Danny

00:46:03Well mickey

00:46:04Seems impressed right now, but I would honestly be able to say panina

00:46:08Not so much as she continues the offensive onslaught in this match trying to open the eyes

00:46:15Of the coaches of the legends here on lfg, I think danny's got to take p nasty off her feet

00:46:22Danny's got to try something else. Whoa

00:46:30Oh before that size and strength comes into play

00:46:45Come on danny

00:46:48It's not about wins and losses, but you wouldn't really

00:46:51know that

00:46:52By the tension that's in here right now. Certainly. We're here seeing this on full display here between

00:47:00Panina and danny sakowski so far. We're seeing a great showcase of the strength and the ability of p nasty

00:47:08Nina right now wearing down the competition center of the ring

00:47:12Using the size the power to her advantage certainly something that booker t has taught her

00:47:19There you go, there you go. She got to make that big big making her pay for every single move. Yeah be more aggressive

00:47:27Oh

00:47:36Trying to take her off her feet jb. That's something you said earlier showing signs of life, but obviously outpowered once again

00:47:43Danny sakowski's got to try something else has to take her off her feet. Yeah, danny trying to show mickie james trying to show

00:47:49Michelle mccool something here something now, but took panina off her feet and this could be the turning point for

00:47:57Danny here tonight

00:48:02Picking up some speed great momentum from danny sakowski

00:48:08I don't know about all that now. No, no, no, we're gonna go with just one of them too much

00:48:14That's okay

00:48:16Well, it is certainly a learning experience, but danny just learned the hard way

00:48:23You mean I hadn't covered her one time

00:48:26Well, that's an issue, isn't it jb?

00:48:28Certainly is and that's what I love about legends and future greats

00:48:31It's like we're watching with some of the greatest minds in the industry. Well, it's a triangle the triangle's locked in

00:48:36That's the hell escape that's the undertaker's move, you know, that's it

00:48:44Danny has slayed panina. Wow

00:48:48So mickie james took your finish your choked out finish

00:48:55She made it look good, didn't she?

00:49:00All right legends who would like to start with feedback

00:49:03I thought it was great

00:49:04I thought

00:49:06Miss danny here had a great submission at the end. I don't know if you liked it or not

00:49:10Might have looked familiar, but I went into it real smooth. I enjoyed it

00:49:14Did you like it?

00:49:20Well done

00:49:22I was a little nervous

00:49:24But I had much respect for you approaching me with that now

00:49:29to the match

00:49:31You move well you take bumps, but you took too many bumps you needed one bump in that match

00:49:37If you make them work for it and you take that bump

00:49:42at the precise right time

00:49:45People are gonna they're gonna lose their minds

00:49:48And then I want to see her have to scratch and claw to figure out how she's going to overcome

00:49:54The size and the strength thing, but very well done

00:50:01Danny and mickey's gamble seems to have paid off

00:50:05Backstage drake moroe is alongside his girlfriend former nxt women's champion roxanne perez as drake gets set for his match against anthony luke

00:50:14Now you want to say to you big boy?

00:50:16What's up?

00:50:31Is

00:50:54Oh, look at the quickness look at the quickness. Oh, yes

00:50:58Oh, this is that boy right there no bread no water

00:51:11Booker t. He's teaching us all how to do character moments and make every moment matter and mean something

00:51:17My goal in this match is to show them that I am listening. I am a student of the game. I am taking it very serious

00:51:24And I'm going to do that every single day

00:51:28Roxanne is back there with me, which I love, you know

00:51:33It helps distract me from the the nerves and anxiousness of going out there and you know, she always brings me peace and comfort

00:51:40It's a good feeling just knowing that she's there for me and there to support me

00:51:44And i'll always be there to do the same for her

00:51:54That's dead man, mr. Personality look it out you see them dancing

00:52:03Bubba

00:52:04Told me that you wrestle this match like it is your last match in the wwe and when he said that it hit me it just

00:52:12Go out there and lay everything on the line every match you have you never know if it could be your last one

00:52:19Well, here's his chance

00:52:21Show us something

00:52:24You

00:52:32Oh, you don't pull the straps down already why why pull the straps down we gotta wait it we gotta wait

00:52:38It seems a message from the legends sinking in for both these athletes

00:52:45But in your opinion jb

00:52:47Does it help or hurt the boy from the bayou to have his girlfriend roxanne frez ringside?

00:52:52Well, I think it's a good thing if you win

00:52:54Not a good thing if you end up getting your your butt handed to you

00:52:57We're gonna find out what happens here

00:52:59But with roxanne in his corner, you can bet this man derek moreau looking to give it everything he has

00:53:05There you go, baby. Take your time. This your ring dog. This your ring

00:53:10Oh, he's like light work. That's right

00:53:12Much like luke said earlier

00:53:13He soaks in everything that booker says everything he teaches and anthony luke somebody who is cocky

00:53:18Who is arrogant and who tries to back it up every time he does anything lifting weights pick up game of basketball

00:53:24Or inside the squared surface?

00:53:26Well, you can bet that anthony luke has a fan in booker t the minute that anthony luke selected booker t as his mentor

00:53:33On this journey here on lmg. It's actually a very fair point

00:53:37But going back to drake here in a moment as he is in control of this matchup

00:53:43There it is. See he from louisiana

00:53:46I get it now. Got it. I didn't understand by you. Right, right, right, right. He lived right over by you

00:54:01And we're seeing that personality we're seeing that support from roxanne

00:54:06He kind of bounces around like jimmy

00:54:09Yeah

00:54:13I was also starting to wonder if road dog taught him how to shimmy and shake

00:54:16Well, we're seeing still some very impressive maneuvers from anthony luke

00:54:21Showcasing what he has in this match and so impressive. This is the kid has something but he's trying too hard ain't he?

00:54:28like everything is

00:54:30Anthony I feel like yeah. Yeah. Yeah

00:54:33That's my boy

00:54:35See that that's unnecessary right? Yeah

00:54:38That is completely and it takes my attention away from the good stuff. Yeah. Yeah

00:54:45Well bubble believes that luke might need to scale it back a bit into the cover

00:54:50And a kick out these are hard lessons being dealt out right now jb. Well, when you're that effective sometimes less is more

00:54:57Oh

00:55:02Something we've always said remember it's not about who wins and who loses as from behind shoulders down

00:55:08And oh drake was a half second away

00:55:12Oh, yeah

00:55:15Good night. What a stinging elbow from anthony luke into the cover. You see that? All right, you see that?

00:55:22Oh

00:55:25We all saw it it was drake who felt it another kick out in this matchup

00:55:30Luke not liking to count staring down the official roxanne perez right now. She's got a concerned look on her face

00:55:37and in this moment

00:55:39She knows at least her man has some fight left, but is he going to be able to get back into this fight?

00:55:45Well, it was early discussion going into the lfg process that anthony luke would be a standout possibly a favorite to take the hold

00:55:52Thing and that reputation preceded him coming in here

00:55:55It's up to drake moreau now to change that perception and moreau fighting back

00:55:59You saw that massive irish whip and now throwing some rights

00:56:03The boy from the bayou trying to pick up some steam big boot to the face

00:56:08Everyone coming out of their feet. He's trying to take luke out of his boots big body slam

00:56:14Drake's rocking drake's rolling. He's got luke hoisted up

00:56:19Massive choke slam into the cover and let the party begin

00:56:26Was it enough to sway the judges?

00:56:29Here is your winner

00:56:31drake

00:56:40I think I did the best that I could

00:56:42Show my personality like you said and I believe I let it out and I did everything I could

00:56:49Jb bring up a good point. He did everything but did he do enough? All right guys. It's time to hear from the legends

00:56:56The first question I have for you is this

00:56:59Was that the best you could have done?

00:57:02Yes

00:57:03Good

00:57:04I'm glad that's your answer

00:57:06Because that means you left it all out there and you gave it everything that you possibly had. I saw

00:57:12Personality from you today

00:57:14Good execution. You worked well together

00:57:17Good job guys

00:57:25And with the conclusion of the matches it's time for the judges to decide who stood out this week like always

00:57:31Uh comes down to this. What do you what do you guys think?

00:57:40All right, first of all, I want to thank michelle and rude dog for being here today but uh, like always

00:57:46Uh comes down to this. What do you what do you guys think? Uh, I

00:57:50What an unfortunate break for shiloh because I thought he was tearing it up and then got his bell rung

00:57:56i'm, pretty sure that shiloh would have won won the day, but

00:58:01It is what it is

00:58:03Drake really showed a lot of his personality this week

00:58:07I think he's got a lot of potential but at the end of the day anthony for me

00:58:12He was just a little bit better man i'm gonna have to go with I think i'm gonna have to go with tony

00:58:19Drake really impressed me tonight

00:58:21And maybe it's because it's the first time I've really seen his personality come out like I knew that tony had a lot of personality

00:58:28but

00:58:29Everyone's improving. It's so great to see everyone's get so much better. I was proud of drake tonight

00:58:34I'll be brutally honest. Like I thought he was the the shining star that I saw some character personality good selling

00:58:41Uh, I I was I was happy with his performance. I'm going with drake

00:58:45I I totally understand exactly why you went with him and I feel the same way, but I gotta go with anthony

00:58:52Look, I mentioned the cerebral and the verbal anthony luke was a better man that day

00:58:56And I think there are bigger and better things coming for moreau as well. Holy mackerel

00:59:00I was so impressed with the with the chemistry and the physicality and like you said the growth

00:59:05I will say this. I heard there was a

00:59:07A wonderful finish today. So I don't know michelle. Would you like to wow respond stir in the pot, huh?

00:59:16We're all good, right

00:59:17Yeah, hey, look, I think they did a phenomenal job. I'm so impressed by these girls

00:59:21I thought they did great. They executed the moves. They told a story they stood here in front of y'all

00:59:27Without their whole body shaken taking criticism and I have no doubt

00:59:31That they'll take that criticism and just improve every single week. So I was super impressed

00:59:35All right, well obviously great hearing from everybody but this comes down like it always does to one man and one woman

00:59:42It sounds like we need to bring them out and make our decision

00:59:46After deliberations the future greats are brought in to find out who will be this week's standouts. All right legends

00:59:53It's time to award the points

00:59:56Who were the standout male and female of the show? Let's start with the ladies. Was it danny or panina?

01:00:05I know you've come to a decision. So undertaker, please. Tell us which way did the legends vote?

01:00:11Uh, both of you great job

01:00:27Yeah

01:00:30When they announced that danny won the point, yeah, i'm pissed off I ain't even gonna lie. Okay and now for the males

01:00:38chris island

01:00:41drake moroe

01:00:44And shiloh hill who's currently getting medical attention

01:00:48Mickey james, were you gonna speak on shiloh? Oh god. I mean i'm just praying that he's okay, but

01:00:54I want to say you guys killed it this like it's amazing to see you grow on a week-to-week basis

01:01:00You all should applaud yourself. This was really really difficult for us all to decide but

01:01:05We're gonna have to go with anthony luke

01:01:08Congratulations anthony

01:01:12I was a little a little hurt that anthony luke got the point, you know

01:01:16I I thought I went out there and did what I was asked to do

01:01:20But I I guess I didn't do it well enough

01:01:24All right, so booker mickey

01:01:27You both are in the lead with two points

01:01:31anthony luke

01:01:33Is leaps and bounds heads above everybody in this whole thing. There's no doubt

01:01:40He's this kid is gonna be a star in this bitch

01:01:44It was a good feeling to rep team booker and get the win and every time i'm out there

01:01:48I feel like I can get the win. So I I told book last week

01:01:51Hey if you put me in the match i'm gonna get us a point

01:01:54I let the team down

01:01:55All I can do is improve and try to get it next time

01:01:58you got to take every opportunity you're given and run with it and do your best and

01:02:02Try to get us a point team. Bubba is gonna keep trucking on ahead

01:02:05I want to be able to give these for everything of me so that they can turn around and go

01:02:12He really gave a damn about seeing us succeed

01:02:16So we still got a point for my team, but now it got a fire under my ass if you want to say that

01:02:23We'll get back to it

01:02:24You know, hopefully silo has a full recovery fast recovery and hopefully me and him can run it back and finish it

01:02:30The way it's supposed to be finished

01:02:32So I was able to take home the point for team mickey this week

01:02:35I'm honored I was honored to do it in a way using undertaker's move using that submission hell's gate and just

01:02:42Showing pride to our team and to undertaker as well

01:02:44Just ready to keep putting my head down and getting to work and I think my team would say the same

01:02:51Next time on lfg

01:02:55We will have the faction face-off what kind of unit can we create

01:03:01What can we do? What's unique and different? Oh crap. This is my first match ever

01:03:06Don't put so much pressure on yourself

01:03:08You don't have a problem losing right? You got to be able to stand up for yourself

01:03:12Get the out of here now
