00:00:00Previously on LFG.
00:00:03He's out. He's out, dude.
00:00:05He's out.
00:00:06Shut it down.
00:00:07He's hurt.
00:00:09Today, we will have the faction face-off.
00:00:13I want to see a package, a video, a vignette.
00:00:16You don't have a problem losing to Xena, right?
00:00:20Unfortunately, I have stained an injury to my shoulder.
00:00:23I'm gonna be working hard to get back in there.
00:00:25Get the f*** out of here now.
00:00:29Come on. Let's go.
00:00:30Bubba still looking for scores.
00:00:32Booker jumps out to a lead.
00:00:34That's absolutely bulls***.
00:00:38Yeah, baby. That's right.
00:00:41What other coach is it? What is it?
00:00:43What other coach?
00:00:44They can't hang with us.
00:00:50Talk to us. Talk to us.
00:00:54We're fired up this morning.
00:00:55We're fired up this morning.
00:01:00The legends and future greats are psyching themselves up for the day ahead.
00:01:04And for good reason.
00:01:05The team points are not earned easily.
00:01:08You ready? Huh? Huh? You ready?
00:01:12Team Booker T is in the lead with three points.
00:01:15While Mickey follows behind with two.
00:01:17And The Undertaker has one.
00:01:19Team Bubba, however, has yet to find themselves on the board.
00:01:23And his team appears to be struggling as they enter the day's challenges.
00:01:27Why do you look shot?
00:01:28I'm just tired.
00:01:30You're tired? Why?
00:01:32Just last 48 hours I've been kicking my ass. That's all.
00:01:34How come?
00:01:35I don't really know.
00:01:39I ended up spraining my wrist when we were working out.
00:01:44There will be a lot of moments where you'll see me cry.
00:01:47There will be a lot of moments where I'll be vulnerable.
00:01:50Because that's not my strongest suit.
00:01:52The tears are me.
00:01:54And...
00:01:57I don't need to shy away from that.
00:02:00Tatiana was not having a good day today.
00:02:03You want to have a bad day, have your bad day on your time.
00:02:07Tatiana, stop crying.
00:02:10Enough with the tears. Okay?
00:02:12Okay.
00:02:21Welcome to the ultimate proving ground.
00:02:2416 future greats.
00:02:31Four legends.
00:02:32He is the epitome of WrestleMania!
00:02:36Nia broke down barriers for women.
00:02:39Ivar!
00:02:40Get the table!
00:02:42Can you beat that sucker?
00:02:45A chance to win an NXT contract.
00:02:50Every legend has a first chapter.
00:02:53And the future starts now.
00:03:01Morning, boys and girls.
00:03:02All right, good morning. Here we are again.
00:03:05Today we're going to focus on character.
00:03:08And who your character is in establishing that character.
00:03:11Bringing out a piece of who you really are.
00:03:15I don't know what to expect. I don't know who to expect.
00:03:18I mean, it could be anybody.
00:03:20And, you know, I'm constantly preparing myself for any situation.
00:03:24Today our guest is somebody that has, I'd argue, become pretty damn famous.
00:03:29Telling what he believes is the truth.
00:03:32I want you to welcome our special guest, CM Punk.
00:03:36Woo-hoo!
00:03:42Outlier.
00:03:43Outspoken, but never outdone.
00:03:46As polarizing as CM Punk may be, there is little doubt he is what he says he is.
00:03:51Day in and day out, I have proved that I am the best on this microphone,
00:03:57in that ring, even at commentary.
00:04:00Nobody can touch me.
00:04:03Stepping away in 2014 after a decade absence,
00:04:07Punk made a shocking return a year ago.
00:04:09Looks like hell froze over.
00:04:12I'm home.
00:04:14So as these future greats get to find their voice,
00:04:18who better to lead them than the voice of the voiceless?
00:04:24I feel unfortunate to be here talking to you guys.
00:04:27Because without you guys, there is no future business.
00:04:32So my question to you is, do you know who the f*** you are?
00:04:38For me, this is one of those moments where you're like,
00:04:43this cannot be real.
00:04:44Because you need to be able to connect with the audience,
00:04:46and CM Punk is one of those people that does that so well.
00:04:50This is a tool.
00:04:52This is a way to connect with the audience.
00:04:54This is a way to tell stories.
00:04:56I have the balls to say things that nobody else has the balls to say.
00:05:03I famously said, when this is in my head, it is not a microphone.
00:05:07It's a pipe bomb.
00:05:09There's just people who come through the line,
00:05:12they have this ability to evoke so much emotion,
00:05:16and CM Punk is one of them.
00:05:18When he cuts a promo,
00:05:19it doesn't sound like he's out there cutting a promo.
00:05:21He sounds like he's having a conversation with the audience.
00:05:24I try to be as humble as I possibly can,
00:05:27especially in the presence of wrestlers who I feel are greater than me.
00:05:32But I'm so good at this,
00:05:36that they call promos pipe bombs now.
00:05:39That's what he's famous for, is the pipe bomb promo.
00:05:44I've been the best ever since day one.
00:05:47No matter how many times I prove it.
00:05:49I'm not on your lovely little collector cups.
00:05:51I'm not on the cover of the program.
00:05:53Oops, I'm breaking the fourth wall.
00:05:58CM Punk's infamous pipe bomb promo
00:06:00showcased his unique ability to weave reality in with his character.
00:06:05And with that in mind, Punk challenges the future greats.
00:06:11You have to always be ready.
00:06:13So I want somebody to take this and cut a promo.
00:06:17I want somebody to tell me who they are.
00:06:19I want somebody to have the balls to get up here.
00:06:21I want somebody to have the balls to get up here,
00:06:23and I know y'all nervous.
00:06:24Oh, look at this.
00:06:25Oh!
00:06:26Gina, go!
00:06:29Ladies first.
00:06:30Nope, nope.
00:06:31Tighten up, tighten up.
00:06:32Tighten!
00:06:33Tighten!
00:06:34Tighten!
00:06:35That's no fair in this business.
00:06:37So I got up, but someone beat me to it.
00:06:40It was big boy Jasper.
00:06:42And he snatched the microphone and didn't let me go.
00:06:44But it's okay.
00:06:49It's not fair.
00:06:50To be honest, my whole time here,
00:06:53I felt like the chances that have passed me by,
00:06:57some I wasn't ready for.
00:06:59So every opportunity I get, I have to smash it.
00:07:03I've waited for this moment.
00:07:05When I grew up,
00:07:07I said I want to get in the ring,
00:07:09and I want to look you in the eye
00:07:11and tell you a story.
00:07:13As a kid,
00:07:15I wanted to be you.
00:07:17You dropped the most impressive promo
00:07:22in front of the world.
00:07:23You bled.
00:07:24You sweat.
00:07:25You cried.
00:07:26You showed the WWE Universe the real you.
00:07:28And for what?
00:07:30To leave?
00:07:33To tear this place down afterwards?
00:07:35And to come back?
00:07:37Wow.
00:07:38Second City Saint, huh?
00:07:41I wanted to cheer for you.
00:07:44I wanted to see you main event WrestleMania
00:07:47and go to school the next day
00:07:49and tell all my friends,
00:07:50my guy did it.
00:07:52And you weren't there.
00:07:55And all I want
00:07:57is to get in that ring one day,
00:07:59look you dead in the eye,
00:08:01and for all the things that you have done to me
00:08:04and everyone else in this business,
00:08:07make you bend the knee.
00:08:13Holy s***.
00:08:17Okay.
00:08:20You ain't even on my team.
00:08:22The best promos
00:08:24don't feel like promos
00:08:26and they don't sound like promos.
00:08:28They just sound and feel like people
00:08:31who are speaking from the heart.
00:08:33And that's what I heard from Jasper today.
00:08:36You just put yourself on the map.
00:08:39Yeah, with you.
00:08:40My guy, Jasper Troy,
00:08:43stepping up in that moment
00:08:45and not just stepping up,
00:08:47it was something that was so organic.
00:08:51I didn't get up there
00:08:53and expect to have
00:08:55acknowledgement from my peers
00:08:57or from the legends.
00:08:58I just wanted to look CM Punk in the eyes
00:09:01and know when it's me and him
00:09:04or me and whoever in the ring,
00:09:06I'll be ready.
00:09:08He could have cut the worst promo I ever heard
00:09:11and it wouldn't have mattered.
00:09:13Because let's be honest,
00:09:14nobody's going to succeed at 100%
00:09:17at everything they're doing.
00:09:18And it's unfortunate for them
00:09:19that they're on national television,
00:09:21but this is the game now.
00:09:22The business has changed.
00:09:24Jasper hits a grand slam out of the gate.
00:09:27Now it's time to see if the rest of the future greats
00:09:30can withstand the pressure.
00:09:32Anybody else?
00:09:33Anybody else?
00:09:34I can't wait till you leave.
00:09:36Anybody else?
00:09:38Over a decade ago,
00:09:40I made a promise to a man
00:09:42who had the biggest heart,
00:09:45my grandfather.
00:09:48He taught me how to fight,
00:09:50not just with my fists,
00:09:52but with my mind.
00:09:53And although I lost him
00:09:55over a decade ago,
00:09:57I'm going to fight
00:09:58for every inch of that ring
00:10:00and it doesn't matter
00:10:01what you think.
00:10:05I decided to really
00:10:07utilize the negative emotions I had
00:10:10at the beginning of the day.
00:10:11You got that.
00:10:14And instead of just hiding away,
00:10:17I decided to just use those emotions.
00:10:20I see some of you
00:10:21and I think about the girls in high school
00:10:24who made fun of me for being different
00:10:27because I had different clothes,
00:10:28because I had different hobbies,
00:10:30because I didn't want to be in a clique.
00:10:33Lee Laurel is not just a dreamer.
00:10:36She's the next big thing here in WWE.
00:10:41Lee?
00:10:44There's something there.
00:10:45We're just going to have to figure out
00:10:46how to drag her out of it, I think.
00:10:52From this point forward,
00:10:53Cutler James is on watch
00:10:55and anybody, any one of you
00:10:57who threatens my legacy,
00:11:00I'm going to rip your face off.
00:11:03I get heated.
00:11:04I get emotional.
00:11:06I struggle.
00:11:07I win.
00:11:08I achieve.
00:11:09Like, that's a movie
00:11:10and that's me.
00:11:12Cutler's promo was a little flat.
00:11:14The longer you sit there
00:11:16after we throw that gauntlet down,
00:11:18the worse it's going to feel.
00:11:26The future greats continue to try
00:11:28to impress CM Punk and the legends.
00:11:31But there's someone else
00:11:32who feels they deserve the limelight.
00:11:35Hello.
00:11:36He's back.
00:11:37Nice hat.
00:11:38I'm back.
00:11:39Yay, it's you.
00:11:40Mm-hmm.
00:11:42Good morning.
00:11:43Good morning.
00:11:44I tell the truth.
00:11:46Truth is a powerful thing.
00:11:53I'm the only guy here
00:11:54that has the balls to do anything
00:11:56or say anything to anybody.
00:11:57Everybody here wants to put on
00:11:58this pitch-perfect face.
00:12:01I just want to get healthy
00:12:02and get back as soon as possible,
00:12:03and I want to come show everybody what's up.
00:12:06No hard feelings.
00:12:08But f*** you.
00:12:14What's up, guys?
00:12:16I'm back.
00:12:18Good to see you.
00:12:20How's it going, Cutler?
00:12:22Bonsford?
00:12:23Hey, man.
00:12:26Oh, f***. Sorry, Cut.
00:12:28What is this kid doing?
00:12:38You know, it's kind of funny.
00:12:40Ever since I got here,
00:12:41all I keep hearing is,
00:12:43LFG this, LFG that.
00:12:47As if there's some sort of camaraderie
00:12:50here in this whole process.
00:12:53But you want to know what's crazy?
00:12:56Ever since I broke the news
00:12:59about my shoulder,
00:13:01not a single person in this room
00:13:04reached out to me,
00:13:07texted me,
00:13:10and especially you, Team Bubba.
00:13:13I would have expected the most out of y'all,
00:13:16and I get it.
00:13:17Everybody's excited
00:13:19because the number one competitor
00:13:20got eliminated.
00:13:22I mean, Anthony Luke,
00:13:23he was so excited when I broke the news.
00:13:25Looked like he was about to pull out
00:13:26his bottle of lotion and box of tissues.
00:13:28That's besides the point.
00:13:29Back to Team Bubba.
00:13:31You know, Zina?
00:13:33You are the epitome of stupidity.
00:13:37And I know you probably don't understand
00:13:39what I'm saying to you right now,
00:13:40but I don't have the box of Crayola crayons
00:13:42to draw the picture for you.
00:13:44You know, Tatiana, I see you over there
00:13:46kind of shaking your head, putting your head down.
00:13:48Well, I'm just gonna pass you
00:13:49because I don't need you crying for an hour
00:13:51after I say whatever I gotta say.
00:13:54Roxanne's boyfriend?
00:13:56Let's be honest, bro.
00:13:58That's all you're ever gonna be is Roxanne's boyfriend
00:14:02because you bring nothing to the table.
00:14:06And my good old pal Cutler James.
00:14:10I hate to break the news to you,
00:14:12but if it wasn't for me,
00:14:13you wouldn't even be here, bro.
00:14:15You wouldn't even have this opportunity.
00:14:17So I have three syllables for you, Cutler.
00:14:20Re-place-ment.
00:14:23And as soon as I get back
00:14:25and me and you step in that ring,
00:14:27I am going to do what I did every single day
00:14:30in that Duke wrestling room,
00:14:32and I am going to make you my little bitch.
00:14:40And to everybody here,
00:14:44I may have thought Coach Bubba was a douchebag at some times,
00:14:47but I've learned a lot from Coach Bubba.
00:14:49I understand why Coach Bubba didn't shake my hand.
00:14:52There ain't no family. It's business.
00:14:54And I'm not gonna shake a single one of you future's hands,
00:15:01and I'm especially not gonna shake
00:15:04any of your legend's hands
00:15:08because I'm done.
00:15:09I'm done, and I'm in this for myself.
00:15:12So how do you like them apples?
00:15:14Take care, guys.
00:15:20I had no idea BJ was walking in that room today.
00:15:24Once again, wrong place, wrong time.
00:15:31But he cut one hell of a promo, didn't he?
00:15:35I don't even care that BJ called me a douche.
00:15:40What I care is that he admitted
00:15:44that he learned something from Coach Bubba.
00:15:47He learned why I wouldn't shake his hand day one.
00:15:54You know, I've got thick skin.
00:15:56You can say whatever you want to me, man,
00:15:58but I should have got up and backhanded his ass
00:16:01for talking about Tatiana and Zina the way that he did.
00:16:05You don't mess with my girls like that.
00:16:07I don't know if I like sexy BJ anymore.
00:16:11Unfortunately, he's hurt,
00:16:13so I can't see if he can back up his words in the ring,
00:16:17you know, and be equally as talented.
00:16:20But to me, a pretty good rule of thumb
00:16:23is don't just throw people under the bus.
00:16:27I want to beat the biggest and the baddest and the best.
00:16:31So I'm gonna talk about how they're big and they're bad,
00:16:34and they're the best, but they're not Sam Pong.
00:16:36So when you beat somebody, you've beaten somebody.
00:16:41After the dust has settled on BJ's promo,
00:16:44the floor is still open for any future greats that want to speak.
00:16:51After a while, there was, like, nobody getting the mic.
00:16:55I'm like, all right, now's my chance.
00:16:57Anybody else?
00:17:05Are you gonna talk or are you gonna fly?
00:17:08Are you gonna talk or are you gonna lollygag? Say something.
00:17:11Sell me a ticket. Do something.
00:17:13Agreed.
00:17:16I don't appreciate the disrespect, though,
00:17:18because I did stand up.
00:17:20Just cut your promo.
00:17:22This is the promo right here,
00:17:24so I want you to listen to what I have to say.
00:17:27Bubba decides to be agitated for whatever reason.
00:17:33Felt like he was being a little rude
00:17:36and unnecessarily aggressive.
00:17:38When I feel disrespected, I say something about it.
00:17:43This actually is familiar.
00:17:46When I was training for the Olympics,
00:17:48people discredited me
00:17:50because they thought I was a happy-go-lucky girl.
00:17:53Well, guess what? I am a happy-go-lucky girl,
00:17:56and I know how to whoop butt doing it.
00:17:58I have had anger problems when I was a kid.
00:18:03Those anger problems got me to where I am today,
00:18:07an Olympic gold medalist.
00:18:09I have been at the biggest arenas in the entire world.
00:18:14I am going to make sure
00:18:16that I become an Olympic gold medalist.
00:18:19I was going to make sure
00:18:21that nobody was gonna take that opportunity away from me.
00:18:25It doesn't matter if they boo you or if they cheer you.
00:18:30As long as I hear the noise,
00:18:33that's all I want, is the noise.
00:18:47I was blown away.
00:18:49I didn't have to tell Tyra.
00:18:51Tyra got up on her own.
00:18:53That kind of confidence, it stands out.
00:18:58She can be vulnerable,
00:19:00but also that she is a legitimate killer.
00:19:07Although Tyra Maysteel didn't need any encouragement
00:19:10to do her promo,
00:19:12one future great takes it upon himself
00:19:15to encourage his peers.
00:19:17Please, let me talk.
00:19:19See, you scared me.
00:19:21I'm not scared of you.
00:19:23I'm scared.
00:19:26I mean, I'm standing up here.
00:19:31Jasper is trying to be a bully at this point, bro.
00:19:34First of all, I ain't never seen you act like that, bro.
00:19:37I get it the first time.
00:19:39Chris, go, go talk.
00:19:41No, bro, like, I don't feel it.
00:19:43Chris, go, bro.
00:19:45Chris, go, bro.
00:19:47Chris, you really not gonna go?
00:19:49Chris, nobody from your team went.
00:19:51You gotta go.
00:19:54He's scared.
00:19:56That's what it is, he's scared.
00:20:06If Chris is going to carry himself with this aura,
00:20:10I feel like there's money on the floor,
00:20:13and you chose not to walk to it.
00:20:15You chose not to pick it up.
00:20:17You chose not to attempt.
00:20:24I just want to let you know
00:20:26probably what we notice more than anything else,
00:20:29it's not so much the people who are taking the opportunity,
00:20:33it's the people that are not taking the opportunity.
00:20:38Coming up on LFG,
00:20:40the future greats square off in the day's matches.
00:20:46I just want to let you know
00:20:48probably what we notice more than anything else,
00:20:51it's not so much the people who are taking the opportunity,
00:20:54it's the people that are not taking the opportunity.
00:20:58Bubba was the one who said, like,
00:21:00we're taking note of who didn't take the opportunity.
00:21:02I was like, shoot, was that, like,
00:21:04some sort of, like, test or something?
00:21:06Shoot, I'm not, like, afraid to do it.
00:21:08Like, if I knew it was, like, a test, I would do it.
00:21:10But I guess I didn't really recognize that in time,
00:21:13so I was pretty disappointed about that.
00:21:15So pissed off at Shiloh.
00:21:18Because Shiloh, he has this thing in him, he is different,
00:21:22and he can be captivating when he cuts a promo.
00:21:27He, for whatever reason, just didn't get up.
00:21:32With no more future greats willing to stand up,
00:21:35the promo session is over.
00:21:37This is where I do not envy y'all, right?
00:21:40Because failure is going to be your biggest teacher, OK?
00:21:43So if you sat down and you didn't get up,
00:21:49that's on you.
00:21:51This is what y'all signed up for.
00:21:53So grab it by the throat, OK?
00:21:59I think if I learned anything from today,
00:22:01it's that I myself need to step up,
00:22:04and my team needs to step up.
00:22:06I'm disappointed in myself.
00:22:08I'm disappointed in my three other teammates.
00:22:10I know Mickey's disappointed in us for not stepping up.
00:22:12Taking that opportunity.
00:22:14Before coaches deliberate the matches,
00:22:17Mickey pulls her team aside.
00:22:20Why didn't you guys stand up when they were doing promos?
00:22:22You had a golden opportunity there.
00:22:24What happened?
00:22:26I don't know who I am.
00:22:28It was hard to put out and speak and have it be believable
00:22:31when you don't know who you are yourself.
00:22:34In wrestling, you have to know who you are
00:22:36and project that to the audience.
00:22:38But if I don't know who I am,
00:22:40then how are they going to relate to me?
00:22:42How are they going to latch on to this?
00:22:44I know it's hard. It's hard to figure that out.
00:22:46But you were saying a lot on the floor, and then...
00:22:48I mean, I usually have a lot to talk about,
00:22:51but everybody was kind of going to a deep place.
00:22:53Right.
00:22:55I wasn't really...
00:22:57Like, I wasn't trying to go up there and just fake a trauma, though.
00:22:59I'm not the type to trauma, though.
00:23:02I'm not the type to just boo-hoo.
00:23:04That just kind of got in my head, and I just felt in my gut,
00:23:07like, that's not really the place for me.
00:23:09I don't do that.
00:23:11There's different types of promos, right?
00:23:13There's so many different types of promos.
00:23:15You could have just went up there and been yourself.
00:23:17I am Mickie James.
00:23:19I am the way God intended me to be,
00:23:21and I am proud of it.
00:23:23Well, I'm going to go up there and fight for you guys,
00:23:25but you didn't do me any favors.
00:23:29The legends, along with CM Punk,
00:23:31gather separately to decide who will be in today's matches.
00:23:35Okay, CM Punk, since you are our guest today,
00:23:38you're going to be awarding one point for best overall male
00:23:42and one point for best overall female.
00:23:45Right now, we're going to pick the four matches.
00:23:48Punk, just be honest. Just be honest.
00:23:50That's all I need you to do.
00:23:52Just be honest.
00:23:54So you think Jasper should be in the match?
00:23:56Jasper, look here, he's a monster, right?
00:23:59And his promo was right on the money.
00:24:03It's interesting, your guy, Chris Island,
00:24:09had a lot to say to Jasper.
00:24:11But he never stood up.
00:24:13He was talking from his butt.
00:24:15Just sitting down.
00:24:16Yeah, I mean, what's up on that?
00:24:18Chris has a baby face.
00:24:20But I was watching him, and I go, like,
00:24:23he might be a heel, naturally.
00:24:26I'd like to see Chris Island.
00:24:28We've only seen him as a baby face.
00:24:29I'd like to see him as a heel.
00:24:30And I'll do you one even better,
00:24:32since none of my kids stood up.
00:24:34What if we put Serena on the floor as his manager?
00:24:37You can do whatever the hell you want to do,
00:24:39but I just know one thing.
00:24:40Jasper Troy is going to go in there,
00:24:43he's going to take care of his work,
00:24:44and he's going to show the people.
00:24:46He's going to show the church.
00:24:48I felt that was a bit of a slap in the face.
00:24:52There's something special about a manager.
00:24:55Your role is so special.
00:24:58Because now it's not just two guys out there wrestling.
00:25:04Now there's this added element that makes it
00:25:07so different than everyone else.
00:25:10I would like to see Tyra.
00:25:13I'd like for her to start as the baby face
00:25:16that everybody thinks she is,
00:25:18and through the course of the match,
00:25:19flip into a heel.
00:25:22She took you on this ride in the promo.
00:25:25I want to see if she can do it in the ring.
00:25:27You think that would work against Danny?
00:25:31Let's go.
00:25:32You offering up my folks?
00:25:34So, yeah, Tyra and Danny.
00:25:36I thought Tatiana did really well today.
00:25:42I mean, we're talking real tears, real emotion.
00:25:45She made me feel, out of all of them, I felt hers.
00:25:48I mean, Lee did a hell of a job as well.
00:25:51You got to give Lee a lot of credit,
00:25:53as well as, you know, last time we saw Lee in the ring,
00:25:56she did a pretty good job.
00:25:57The last time we saw Tatiana in the ring,
00:26:01yeah, she did all right.
00:26:03That was her first match.
00:26:04Tatiana's first match was against Lee.
00:26:07Lee did a better job because this business
00:26:10is about being a general.
00:26:12Am I right or wrong?
00:26:13This business is about being able to go out there
00:26:16and lead your troops into battle.
00:26:18I always thought it was about selling tickets,
00:26:20but, hey, what do I know?
00:26:21That too, that too.
00:26:24Lee and Tatiana, Lee did not lead Tatiana.
00:26:27I'll tell you what, I'll tell you what, I'll tell you what.
00:26:29Let's just run it back.
00:26:30Done.
00:26:31Let's just run it back.
00:26:32Done.
00:26:33Let's just run it back.
00:26:34Done.
00:26:35The people who get to work matches
00:26:37are the ones who stood up.
00:26:39They should be rewarded.
00:26:40Yeah, I think that's nice.
00:26:41I think so.
00:26:42How about Cutler?
00:26:44My advice to Cutler was,
00:26:46and you guys can tell me if you agree or not,
00:26:48as far as a wrestling promo was concerned,
00:26:51I thought he took a small baby step forward.
00:26:53Again, it's not about the content.
00:26:55Like, I could critique the shit out of it,
00:26:57but it wasn't about the content.
00:26:58It was just about standing up.
00:27:00Yep, you got to reward that.
00:27:02I'm in the same boat with Shiloh.
00:27:05I don't know if he's a heel or a baby face.
00:27:08Can I put Shiloh in there with your guy?
00:27:10I think that would be a good matchup.
00:27:12I'd like to see it.
00:27:13Be?
00:27:14Shiloh and Cutler.
00:27:15Yep, Shiloh and Cutler.
00:27:16Book it.
00:27:17Book it.
00:27:18Book it.
00:27:19Book it.
00:27:21Scream out, book it.
00:27:22Book it.
00:27:25With Punk being the sole decision maker
00:27:27on who receives points,
00:27:29all the legends take it upon themselves
00:27:31to coach up the future greats before their matches.
00:27:34I'm looking for more out of you today.
00:27:36All right?
00:27:37I'm going to be looking for a whole lot more out of you today.
00:27:39Booker put a lot on me.
00:27:41For starters, he wanted to see me, you know,
00:27:44step up and lead.
00:27:45Because guess what?
00:27:46I'm the heel now, and I've never worked heel.
00:27:48I've never even practiced heel.
00:27:49I need you guys to think about simplifying.
00:27:51It doesn't matter who's watching.
00:27:54The only thing that matters is,
00:27:56am I going to go out here and give my all?
00:27:58I know it sounds really basic and simple.
00:28:01We're telling the story like this
00:28:03was a friendly, competitive match,
00:28:05and that's where he shortcuts you.
00:28:07We are looking for Baby Baby to start.
00:28:10There's something that you do where she turns mid-match.
00:28:14I want to see a vicious side from you.
00:28:16See if you can be a heel.
00:28:19And I'm like, oh, wait, really?
00:28:21I actually like working heel.
00:28:23Communicate.
00:28:24It's the most important thing
00:28:25about going out here and getting this sh-t right, all right?
00:28:29Boom, beautiful work.
00:28:31They wanted to see our roles robust.
00:28:33Now I'm Baby Face, and she's a heel.
00:28:36And this is a role that I'm not very comfortable in.
00:28:39I didn't go through the steps I'm used to,
00:28:41and things were last minute and spontaneous.
00:28:46I let my nerves get the best of me.
00:28:48And nothing.
00:28:49Maybe pick her up, give her a body slam, cover.
00:28:52When you blow up in your lungs, it's because you're not in shape.
00:28:55You're both in phenomenal shape.
00:28:56You can blow up here in an instant
00:28:58because you're stressed out,
00:28:59or you let the anxiety get to you.
00:29:01Crazy sh-t.
00:29:02I want that to come out of you to him
00:29:04during the course of this match, all right?
00:29:07And the dead man's risen!
00:29:10Oh, my God! Incredible moment!
00:29:13When they're rocking and rolling,
00:29:14that's more when you're just, like, reacting.
00:29:17You see him showboating, you showboat with him.
00:29:21That's right, baby.
00:29:22The first match of the evening,
00:29:24Chris Island versus Jasper Troy.
00:29:28Me and Jasper, it's real.
00:29:30I really don't like bro.
00:29:32Like, I really don't like him.
00:29:34But that's why we work so well.
00:29:37On A&E.
00:29:40Yeah!
00:29:42Oh, it is time to get the action started
00:29:45here on Legends and Future Greats.
00:29:51The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
00:29:55Introducing first, representing Team Mickey J's,
00:30:01accompanied by Serena Linton.
00:30:04From Buckeville, California,
00:30:07weighing in at 245 pounds,
00:30:11Chris Island!
00:30:14J.B., Jeremy Borash, Island,
00:30:16not alone here tonight.
00:30:18No, he certainly isn't.
00:30:19This is the idea of the brainchild of Mickey J
00:30:21stepping into the ring,
00:30:22having Serena Linton representing
00:30:24and kind of side-kicking Chris Island
00:30:26in this matchup here on Legends and Future Greats.
00:30:32And his opponent,
00:30:34representing Team Bunker T,
00:30:39from Huntsman, Texas,
00:30:41weighing in at 330 pounds,
00:30:45Jasper Troy!
00:30:49Troy is ready to battle.
00:30:52Move, move, Serena. Move, Serena.
00:30:55Whoa!
00:30:57No!
00:30:59Well, I want to say this,
00:31:01Mickey not impressed early on in this matchup,
00:31:03and, I mean, the bell hasn't even rung yet, J.B.
00:31:06And look at the crowd pop up, Bunker T.
00:31:09That's my dog right there, huh?
00:31:12Hoo, hoo, hoo! That's my dog!
00:31:15All right.
00:31:17Here comes Bunker T's meal ticket.
00:31:19Oh, he's a hell of a teller.
00:31:21He's a hell of a teller.
00:31:22Look at him, quick, fast, what a big man.
00:31:27There's no question Bunker T feels like he's at a,
00:31:30well, a point that he is the man to beat right now
00:31:33in this competition amongst the Legends,
00:31:35Jasper Troy.
00:31:36Did you see that?
00:31:37This match with Chris Island.
00:31:39He smacked that ass.
00:31:42I get what Mickey James is looking at
00:31:44with Chris Island and Linson.
00:31:46Be a team, be together, like you and me, J.B.
00:31:51Big man look pretty good, huh?
00:31:52He does.
00:31:53Once he got the bell ringing,
00:31:54I don't know, he looking pretty good, huh?
00:31:56I don't want to see my big man, though,
00:31:58with a side headlock on the mat.
00:31:59Come on, there's got to be a baby face
00:32:01for a second here, man.
00:32:02I'm just saying, I'm just saying.
00:32:03What are we thinking here?
00:32:04He's different.
00:32:05J.B., you're a legend.
00:32:06What do you think of the philosophy difference
00:32:08between Bunker and The Undertaker?
00:32:10Well, two different viewpoints in some ways.
00:32:11Obviously, Undertaker is that tried and true old school,
00:32:14the gospel of this industry.
00:32:16Undertaker knows it better than anyone.
00:32:18Whereas Bunker T takes on a bit of a different approach
00:32:21to teaching his students that's 20 years in reality
00:32:24of wrestling, of course, his own wrestling school.
00:32:26And certainly, we're seeing right now,
00:32:28Bunker T is the man to beat right now
00:32:31in Legends and Future Greats
00:32:32amongst the legends with his team.
00:32:34Hey, wait a minute.
00:32:36That's a cheap shot by Island.
00:32:38I think Litton grabbed the leg of Jasper Troy.
00:32:41The official didn't see it, though.
00:32:43Troy's Achilles heel.
00:32:44Troy's Achilles.
00:32:45Went for the Achilles.
00:32:47I'm not going to speculate on that,
00:32:49but I will speculate that Chris Island knows
00:32:51he's not going to overpower Jasper Troy,
00:32:53and this is the strategy he needs to implement.
00:32:55And it's the strategy that Mickie James put forth,
00:32:58looking to see a different side of Chris Island
00:33:01in this competition.
00:33:07Get vicious, Chris.
00:33:14Troy trying to...
00:33:16What?
00:33:17What the f*** with your ankle?
00:33:19That's impressive.
00:33:20He said, screw that ankle.
00:33:22I don't need it. It's fine.
00:33:23He might have just lost some points, J.B.,
00:33:25but again, it's not about wins and losses.
00:33:27Teach your dog how to sell.
00:33:29Your dog forgot that he got his ankle clipped.
00:33:31That was a good point.
00:33:33In the midst of that incredibly impressive maneuver,
00:33:35yeah, a little bit of an issue there from the legends.
00:33:38Is he playing possum book?
00:33:44Oh, big splash.
00:33:46Look, man.
00:33:48Now we're back to it.
00:33:50Now we're...
00:33:52That's a hell of a sale.
00:33:54Adrenaline will make a man do some crazy things, though, J.B.
00:33:56We know that.
00:33:57But does he have enough of a leg left?
00:33:59He certainly did.
00:34:00Massive chokeslam from Jasper Troy.
00:34:08Here is your winner, Jasper Troy!
00:34:15Well, Booker does like what he is seeing at this very moment
00:34:18as LFG continues to roll on here tonight.
00:34:23Oh, yes, man!
00:34:25Shuck it, duck it, quack, quack!
00:34:27Uh-oh.
00:34:28Booker T, I'm coming to you first for the feedback, sir.
00:34:31I'm gonna keep it real.
00:34:33Booker put a lot on me with this match.
00:34:35He really sat me down and he said,
00:34:37Chris, there are things I seriously need to see out of you.
00:34:40Chris...
00:34:42that's the best I've seen you do in the ring
00:34:45since we started this thing.
00:34:47I haven't been that nervous in a couple months.
00:34:51To be real, but, you know, pressure make diamonds.
00:34:55They took two to tango, Jasper.
00:34:57I can't say enough about you.
00:34:59He's a monster.
00:35:00Hell of a job, hell of a job.
00:35:02That's the Undertaker.
00:35:04Thick Man, you got presence either way you go.
00:35:06You garner attention.
00:35:08Preach.
00:35:09You very well may be a heel.
00:35:12Excellent job.
00:35:13Serena, I'm just curious,
00:35:15what made you think it was okay to be so close to him
00:35:18and kind of stand up to him?
00:35:20I think just backing up Chris,
00:35:23showing that I'm, like, protecting him as his manager.
00:35:26Okay, we'll go over why that's probably
00:35:29not the right mindset for you in that moment in time,
00:35:33especially when you're standing next to a man that size.
00:35:37Watching WWE as a fan,
00:35:39you don't realize how much psychology
00:35:41goes into being a manager.
00:35:43But just like anything else, like, you go out, you try,
00:35:46you fail, you learn, and you become better.
00:35:50I think at this level, what everyone's looking for
00:35:53is basics, and basics done well.
00:35:56All three of you worked hard.
00:35:58I can't fault you for anything.
00:36:00That's all I want to see at this point.
00:36:02Good job, you guys.
00:36:06You don't understand, I've been waiting weeks for this.
00:36:08Booker tore me down every week.
00:36:10It wasn't even just week one.
00:36:11It wasn't even just my first match.
00:36:12He's torn me down after every match.
00:36:14At a certain point, he just stopped looking at me,
00:36:16stopped talking to me.
00:36:17And now he had to say, you know what, Chris, I see it.
00:36:20I even got Taker to say I could be a heel.
00:36:22You know what that means?
00:36:23That means everything.
00:36:25They finally see me.
00:36:27The next match is Danny Sekelski versus Tyra Mae Steele.
00:36:37The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
00:36:42Introducing first, representing Team Undertaker,
00:36:48from Houston, Texas, Tyra Mae Steele.
00:36:55Well, the student of The Undertaker, Tyra Mae Steele,
00:36:57The Undertaker was very clear on what he wanted to see
00:37:00from Tyra Mae Steele in this matchup,
00:37:02trying to get a little range, a little versatility.
00:37:05It's up to her now to implement the advice of the dead man.
00:37:11And her opponent, representing Team Mickey James,
00:37:17from Stanford, Connecticut, Danny Sekelski.
00:37:24Quite the spitfire of Team Mickey,
00:37:26the former Big Ten and NFL cheerleader.
00:37:28Danny Sekelski brings a presence to the ring
00:37:30that just makes you want to smile.
00:37:32She obviously has a great personality in the ring,
00:37:35and what she can get done in the ring in a very short time
00:37:38has impressed everyone, including her mentor, Mickey James.
00:37:44Well, as these two square up, JB,
00:37:46I think Danny really wants to try and grapple
00:37:49with a former gold medalist.
00:37:51She took home the gold in Tokyo Games.
00:37:53Can Tyra Mae Steele take home gold here in WWE?
00:37:57Well, time will tell, and of course,
00:37:59she's got quite the coach behind her,
00:38:01someone who won a lot of gold in his Hall of Fame career,
00:38:03The Undertaker.
00:38:08Whoa!
00:38:10Steele in control.
00:38:13Oh! Okay. Okay.
00:38:19She's having fun, man. Look at that.
00:38:21Could you imagine The Undertaker doing jumping jacks mid-match, JB?
00:38:25Well, Tyra Mae Steele is carrying out the battle plan of The Undertaker.
00:38:30Come on out and show them one side
00:38:32and see what happens after if you switch that up.
00:38:35And Tyra Mae Steele with those jumping jacks.
00:38:37Trying to out-cheer Danny Sekelski.
00:38:39I was getting ready to question
00:38:41if Steele was being a little bit too confident,
00:38:43because right now, Danny's right back in this matchup,
00:38:45and again, it's not about who wins.
00:38:47It's about implementing the knowledge put forth by your legend,
00:38:51the Hall of Fame legend like The Undertaker,
00:38:54and of course, Mickey James throwing knowledge
00:38:56right and left at Danny Sekelski,
00:38:58who has taken to this very quickly and successfully.
00:39:02Yeah!
00:39:05That a girl. That a girl.
00:39:08Oh! Oh, no, she didn't.
00:39:11No, she didn't do that.
00:39:13Well, things are picking up. Who's going to step up on LFG?
00:39:18Back on Legends & Future Greats,
00:39:20it's been a human chess match between The Undertaker's Olympian Tyra Mae Steele
00:39:24and Danny Sekelski of Team Mickey.
00:39:28Oh!
00:39:30And that was the moment
00:39:32Undertaker gave Tyra some specific instructions,
00:39:35wanted to see a different side of her.
00:39:37Come on, get on her.
00:39:39Get on her.
00:39:41Lose that bubbly attitude and turn up the volume
00:39:44on a more aggressive side.
00:39:46That's what we're seeing right now from Tyra Mae Steele.
00:39:49That sneaky Steele.
00:39:51And when you have the advantage, JB,
00:39:53you've got to put your foot on the gas, into the cover, and a kick-out.
00:39:56Wasn't effective. Is that what The Undertaker was looking for from Tyra Mae Steele?
00:40:00A lot of talking right now from the Olympic gold medalist Tyra Mae Steele.
00:40:07Come on. Do something.
00:40:10JB, this is valuable recovery time.
00:40:12Well, not quite sticking to the game plan that The Undertaker put forth for Tyra Mae Steele.
00:40:17Looking for the big slam. Countered.
00:40:20Fire, Danny, fire.
00:40:22Oh, and JB, she is doing just that.
00:40:24See Mickie right now back into this match-up.
00:40:28Well, that change in attitude was meant to ignite a certain side of Danny Sekelski as well.
00:40:32And right now we're seeing that aggression.
00:40:34But wow, Tyra Mae Steele delivering.
00:40:36Get on her.
00:40:38Get on her. Get on her.
00:40:42Calm down, T.
00:40:44Calm down. No coaching.
00:40:46I'm not coaching. I'm being a fan.
00:40:48No coaching. I'm a fan.
00:40:51That's the thing I love about LFG.
00:40:53We're getting to see a front row seat to the Mimes being put forth.
00:40:56These legends have so much experience in the industry.
00:40:59And to see their pupils, their star students,
00:41:02carrying out or maybe not carrying out the advice is so fascinating to watch.
00:41:06Danny's trying to do something her Titans didn't do much of this year, and that is win.
00:41:10That fire you heard Mickie James talking about.
00:41:13You think about executing a game plan,
00:41:16It looks like Team Mickie's pupil is picking up where Mickie James left off in their coaching sessions.
00:41:23This, of course, being a rematch from the very first episode of LFG.
00:41:28It's so fun to watch the progression, the journey that these two athletes are on.
00:41:32Oh, no.
00:41:35Cover.
00:41:36Tight.
00:41:37There you go.
00:41:39Here is your winner, Tyra Mae Steele.
00:41:46But Steele won with a handful of tights.
00:41:48And was that enough to earn a point for Team Undertaker's CM Punk making the decisions tonight?
00:41:55We are going to find out later on here on LFG.
00:41:59Danny, Tyra Mae, excellent job, ladies.
00:42:02Mickie James.
00:42:04Oh, me first.
00:42:05I mean, were you the one that told Danny to do those jumping jacks mid-match?
00:42:08I did not.
00:42:09I did not.
00:42:10But I wish I had.
00:42:11But it was good instinct to do that.
00:42:13I could see that you were not comfortable being a heel.
00:42:17You spent way too much time showboating before you actually were in control.
00:42:21Once you know she's down and she's not getting back up, now you can be cocky.
00:42:28Right out of the gate,
00:42:30right out of the gate,
00:42:32I knew who and what you were.
00:42:36Danny, if I didn't know you were a cheerleader prior to this,
00:42:40watching your entrance, I would have been like,
00:42:42that girl's a cheerleader.
00:42:44Tyra, you obviously come out with the gold medal, so I get it.
00:42:47I know who you are.
00:42:49When we have an athlete that is so specialized like you are,
00:42:53you come into this world and you think in terms of,
00:42:56I need to be a pro wrestler.
00:42:59So I need to chop people because I saw it on TV.
00:43:03We want you to be the Olympic gold medalist.
00:43:10The thing that I wanted to see most, I wanted to see a story told.
00:43:13You guys did that.
00:43:15You got a little ahead of yourself with the frustration.
00:43:18We got some things to work on, but well done.
00:43:20Thank you, Legends, for your feedback. Thank you.
00:43:30When I first got here, I was told, forget everything you know.
00:43:34Learn what we know.
00:43:36And now I have to literally, after already climbing that mountain,
00:43:40I have to climb another mountain to remember who I am and why I'm here.
00:43:45Tyra and I are in the same boat of, we're so hard on ourselves,
00:43:48and that's never going to change.
00:43:50So although, relatively speaking,
00:43:52we might have had a great match tonight,
00:43:54I know there's always something to work on.
00:43:56The match, Tatiana Dumas versus Lee Laurel.
00:44:00Three, two, one.
00:44:07The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
00:44:10Introducing first, representing Team Booker T,
00:44:16from Raleigh, North Carolina, Lee Laurel.
00:44:22Star, baby.
00:44:24Aw.
00:44:26I hope she doesn't blow up mentally.
00:44:30She was very stressed out before she came out here today.
00:44:34Which might seem odd to some, JB,
00:44:36because Lee was just chosen as a standout a few weeks ago here on LFG.
00:44:41No question about it, as a member of Team Booker,
00:44:43she's got to be on her game both mentally and physically.
00:44:46You can bet the tensions are at a fever pitch.
00:44:50And her opponent, representing Team Boomerang,
00:44:56from Sydney, Australia, Tatiana Dumas.
00:45:03No strangers to one another in or out of the ring.
00:45:09Show your arm.
00:45:12What's going on with the arm?
00:45:15She's a little dinged up.
00:45:18So, let's see how it plays out.
00:45:21As we've seen these stories unfold,
00:45:23it is about telling a story in that ring.
00:45:26And that's what the legends are looking for in this matchup.
00:45:33Uh-oh. Uh-oh.
00:45:35Uh-oh, baby.
00:45:37Here we go, JB. Eyes watching this matchup.
00:45:41Who's the biggest critic, honestly,
00:45:43up on that stage right now out of the legends?
00:45:45Well, it's hard to pick.
00:45:46Obviously, very opinionated from top to bottom,
00:45:48all four of our legends here on LFG.
00:45:51But throw in the very opinionated CM Punk as well,
00:45:55and you have your work cut out for you
00:45:57if you're stepping into the ring on this show.
00:45:59Tatiana, a former gladiator,
00:46:01yes, is a little bit banged up.
00:46:03There will be a bullseye on her wrist in this matchup,
00:46:07you would assume.
00:46:08Nice back elbow, stinging back elbow.
00:46:11And now here is Lee Laurel,
00:46:13focusing right on that injured left hand of Tatiana.
00:46:17There's been an odd, an odd tension in the air
00:46:22throughout this entire matchup, JB.
00:46:24I don't know if it's just me.
00:46:25I think it's been the entire program with CM Punk here
00:46:28as a cover.
00:46:29CM Punk set the tone from the moment he stepped foot
00:46:32and was introduced on this program today
00:46:34by the Heartbreak Kid, Shawn Michaels.
00:46:36And wow, what we saw out of Jasper Troy,
00:46:39what we saw out of all the legends that stepped up
00:46:42and did their talking on the mic,
00:46:44now it's time to show it in the ring.
00:46:46You need to slow down a little bit.
00:46:48I think so, from earlier today,
00:46:50witnessing her and talking to her that day,
00:46:53she's obviously, to me, she's having a bad day,
00:46:56and I think it's translating in the ring.
00:47:02That bad day may be getting worse.
00:47:04Inside cradle, shoulders down, JB.
00:47:07Tatiana picks up the win.
00:47:11Tell me how many bad days you have had on the road,
00:47:16personally or professionally,
00:47:17and then had to work in a main event.
00:47:19Many.
00:47:20A lot on the mind of our athletes,
00:47:22but was that enough to oppress CM Punk?
00:47:24He's awarding the points tonight.
00:47:25Big decision still looming right here on LFG.
00:47:32Ladies, hard-fought match.
00:47:34Gonna come to the legends for feedback.
00:47:36I'm gonna start with you, our guest, Mr. CM Punk.
00:47:40Lee, you feel very reserved to me.
00:47:44I feel like there's something in there,
00:47:46and I feel like you're being too shy,
00:47:50and you're not letting it out.
00:47:52Lots of work to do, okay, ladies?
00:47:54But you worked hard.
00:47:56Mickie James.
00:47:58Tatiana, you really shined today, actually.
00:48:00I saw more from you out of this match
00:48:03than certainly your last match.
00:48:04I can tell that you're improving each time you go out there.
00:48:08It was a little rushed,
00:48:09and so it got a little sloppy,
00:48:10and we couldn't really define exactly
00:48:12what you were trying to do,
00:48:13but you guys really, really worked your butts off.
00:48:16And Bubba Ray, what are your thoughts on the match?
00:48:19Isn't it nice to have all of these baby faces up here
00:48:22blowing smoke up your ass?
00:48:24Now for the truth.
00:48:26Because you both came here today
00:48:30in the wrong frame of mind
00:48:32is why you were not able to execute in that ring today.
00:48:36You have been crying
00:48:37since the minute you walked in here today.
00:48:40Your head has been someplace else,
00:48:42and it has been showing all over your face.
00:48:44I saw the frustration on your face
00:48:47when Booker was going over the match with you
00:48:49as if you were telling me,
00:48:51shut the f*** up, Booker.
00:48:53The moral of today's story,
00:48:55whatever happens personally,
00:48:57you have to leave behind.
00:49:00Thank you, legends.
00:49:02Tatiana, Lee, thank you.
00:49:05Well said. Well said.
00:49:08Go get him some tissues.
00:49:13Trying to get rid of my shyness
00:49:17and my lack of confidence.
00:49:21I've always grown up reserved,
00:49:23so it's a little hard to get me out of my shell,
00:49:26but I think this process
00:49:29is going to get me there eventually
00:49:31and shoot.
00:49:33If that means I have to be vulnerable
00:49:35and break down and build back up every single time,
00:49:38I'm going to do it.
00:49:42I came in just, again,
00:49:45bringing my own s*** to the ring.
00:49:47Unfortunately, tried to stop it before we got out there.
00:49:50Lee was a little bit anxious and nervous.
00:49:52I just tried to play the best baby face I could be
00:49:55for the first time ever,
00:49:56and look, we can't make everyone happy.
00:50:01While Lee and Tatiana come to terms with their performance,
00:50:04Cutler James and Shiloh Hill prepare for their match.
00:50:08To get another opportunity to wrestle on the show
00:50:10feels like a good compliment,
00:50:11because it means that he sees me as, like,
00:50:13a viable option to get a point.
00:50:15We're out there for a couple minutes,
00:50:17and in those couple minutes, we have to captivate people.
00:50:20We're going to make it feel as real as possible.
00:50:28Ooh, get ready.
00:50:30It's our fourth and final match on LFG.
00:50:33The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
00:50:37Introducing first, representing Team Undertaker,
00:50:43from Northfield, New Hampshire,
00:50:45weighing in at 245 pounds,
00:50:49Shiloh Hill!
00:50:53The last time we saw Hill in singles action,
00:50:56maybe we were given quite the scare.
00:50:58He was knocked out cold, needed medical attention,
00:51:00obviously a tough situation there,
00:51:02but was able to bounce back last week
00:51:04as a part of Team Undertaker
00:51:05and win his team a point.
00:51:08Shiloh Hill, set to do battle.
00:51:18And his opponent, representing Team Boomerang,
00:51:23from Allentown, Pennsylvania,
00:51:25weighing in at 255 pounds,
00:51:29Cutler James!
00:51:34Big opportunity, JB.
00:51:36Walk us through this second chance for James.
00:51:38Well, when BJ Ray went down to injury,
00:51:41it was an opportunity put forth by Bubba.
00:51:43A spot needed to be filled,
00:51:45and Cutler James won that opportunity.
00:51:48Now can he take that momentum,
00:51:50parlay it into a big win for his team
00:51:53as part of Team Bubba Ray?
00:51:55Important to note, too,
00:51:57this is Cutler's first singles match
00:51:59here on LFG here tonight against Hill.
00:52:03Really looking forward to this matchup.
00:52:05Stay tall, stay tall.
00:52:08Well, the question for Hill is, can he step up tonight?
00:52:12Well, the question also for Cutler James,
00:52:14can he impress as well?
00:52:15You know, when you're replacing somebody
00:52:17as outlandish and crazy as BJ Ray,
00:52:19you have to bring something different to the table.
00:52:21Can he do that?
00:52:22That was a nice headlock takeover.
00:52:24Beautiful, textbook.
00:52:26Yes.
00:52:27Well, CM Punk wanted to see everybody on the microphone
00:52:29get that opportunity and take that opportunity.
00:52:32CM Punk did not hear anything out of Shiloh Hill.
00:52:37Good switch, good transition.
00:52:39Nice tackle.
00:52:40As far as this goes, it's back to basics, JB,
00:52:43in the center of the ring,
00:52:44the foundation being built for the men
00:52:46and the women here on LFG.
00:52:49Who's the babyface here?
00:52:50Huh?
00:52:51Who's the babyface?
00:52:52They're both babyfaces right now.
00:52:53Okay, okay, okay.
00:52:56As you can see, some sportsmanship between the two,
00:52:59both with the same mindset.
00:53:01But you got to start wondering,
00:53:02maybe this is what Booker's thinking.
00:53:03Who is going to crank up the aggression in this matchup?
00:53:07Who is going to implement the knowledge put forth
00:53:09by these legends in this matchup between future greats?
00:53:12Great shoulder block there by Cutler James.
00:53:14Going to work now on Shiloh Hill.
00:53:17Grab that arm, kid.
00:53:19No one has really separated themselves at this point.
00:53:22The coaches have been wondering who will.
00:53:25It's really been a feeling out process.
00:53:27Ow!
00:53:28What a right!
00:53:29Oh, s***!
00:53:30Dang!
00:53:34He's out.
00:53:35He's out again.
00:53:37Damn it.
00:53:39You get him that quick back-to-back, it's not good.
00:53:45He got in the ring too soon.
00:53:47He got in the ring too soon.
00:53:52Well, that's not good.
00:53:53I understand our medical team is standing by
00:53:55as we step aside on LFG.
00:54:04We're back on LFG.
00:54:05This happened before the commercial break.
00:54:07You see this stinging forearm,
00:54:09which drew the attention to all the legends
00:54:12from Cutler James to Shiloh Hill.
00:54:14We have talked about Shiloh Hill's past.
00:54:16We talked so earlier tonight.
00:54:18It's been a great job by our official
00:54:20who is in this matchup, checking on Shiloh Hill
00:54:23as we're back to the ring right now.
00:54:25There you see both competitors
00:54:27still showing a nice sign of sportsmanship
00:54:29between the two.
00:54:36What?
00:54:37What?
00:54:43Let's go!
00:54:46Come on, Shiloh!
00:54:51Oh, he back-slapped the **** out of him.
00:54:53He sold that, too. You see him?
00:54:57Yes, Shiloh!
00:54:59That's the aggression.
00:55:00That's what they wanted to see.
00:55:02Undertaker, very proud.
00:55:04Bubba, very proud.
00:55:05Wow!
00:55:06What a big right by Shiloh Hill.
00:55:09I felt that in my soul.
00:55:11I felt it in my soul.
00:55:13I'm glad he's okay, but man,
00:55:15Hill pulled one over everyone.
00:55:16Me, everyone in attendance,
00:55:18except Taker, Bubba, you,
00:55:20and now it's Hill
00:55:21who is starting to separate himself
00:55:23in this matchup.
00:55:25Oh, my word.
00:55:26It's all about telling a story, right?
00:55:28That's what our legends have really been strong
00:55:30and forcing that on these future greats.
00:55:33And Shiloh Hill saw an opportunity
00:55:35and made the best of it.
00:55:36Great swinging neckbreaker.
00:55:39Still not enough to keep Cutler James.
00:55:41I mean, even Mickey had her heartstrings tugged on.
00:55:44I mean, this is the beauty of what these legends
00:55:47are trying to coach these men and women.
00:55:49There's nothing beautiful, though,
00:55:50about what Hill is doing right now
00:55:52to Cutler James, who has not been the same
00:55:55since he let his guard down
00:55:56and then got clobbered from behind.
00:55:59Oh, and look at the back.
00:56:00The welts forming on the back
00:56:02of Cutler James.
00:56:03Well, you know, they say this ain't ballet,
00:56:05and as we're seeing from the back of Cutler James,
00:56:07such hard-hitting, ferocious action
00:56:09from these two future greats.
00:56:14Judo.
00:56:16Call it whatever you want to.
00:56:17Cutler right now is reawoken
00:56:20in this matchup.
00:56:23Boom!
00:56:26Look at his back from the slap.
00:56:28Cutler's back.
00:56:30Jesus.
00:56:31God!
00:56:35And that pain being used as fuel
00:56:38as James drops Hill into the cover,
00:56:41and James overcomes the odds
00:56:45to pick up the win.
00:56:46Here is your winner, Cutler James!
00:56:52Excellent. Excellent.
00:56:54The legends are pleased.
00:56:56What did CM Punk fake?
00:56:58CM Punk faked he will be the one
00:57:00awarding the points,
00:57:02and that decision is coming up next
00:57:04here on LFG.
00:57:06In the match,
00:57:07it looked like Shiloh got his bell rung.
00:57:10Everyone instantly remembers,
00:57:12like, just a few weeks ago,
00:57:13Shiloh had a concussion.
00:57:14It was so well executed
00:57:16because how uncomfortable it was.
00:57:19All right, gentlemen.
00:57:20Hard-fought match out there.
00:57:22Let's get some feedback from the legends.
00:57:24First off, you need to
00:57:26congratulate each other.
00:57:27They bit on the spot.
00:57:29It was very, very well executed.
00:57:32In order for that to work,
00:57:34it has to feel uncomfortable.
00:57:36You have to take your time.
00:57:38You have to have me questioning
00:57:40what I'm seeing in front of me.
00:57:42But that one shot bang,
00:57:45that shot looked real to me.
00:57:47If you can make the fans feel like that
00:57:50each and every night,
00:57:52you're gonna win.
00:57:54Turn around.
00:57:55Turn around.
00:57:57Yeah!
00:57:59Holy sh...
00:58:01You still...
00:58:02This sounded like a gunshot.
00:58:04Cemento potato.
00:58:05How about that?
00:58:07Those little things like that will separate
00:58:10because it's real.
00:58:12That's the way you would do it
00:58:13if it was in the street.
00:58:15I would have preferred that he helps you up
00:58:17or whatever.
00:58:18You hit him like a hair
00:58:19while his back was turned.
00:58:22I would have rather you, like,
00:58:24bum-rushed him from behind.
00:58:26If you have the forethought
00:58:28to be sneaky and diabolical enough
00:58:30to fake like you're shoot knocked out
00:58:33and injured and we're doing all this,
00:58:35you're not gonna hit him in his face.
00:58:38You're gonna wait till he turns around.
00:58:40Yeah.
00:58:41And that, to me,
00:58:42would accentuate what y'all were trying to do.
00:58:45You look like a hockey player.
00:58:48I love it.
00:58:49That didn't even happen here.
00:58:50It's a fantastic...look.
00:58:52We need more of that.
00:58:57Next up, CM Punk will award the Point Hat.
00:59:03Again, another phenomenal day
00:59:05by our talent here.
00:59:06I think if it comes down to one word,
00:59:08I think what everybody was looking for today
00:59:10was range.
00:59:12Punk, obviously this is gonna come down
00:59:14from a scoring standpoint to you,
00:59:17a point to one of the men,
00:59:19a point to one of the women.
00:59:21Comfort zone is a fantastic thing,
00:59:24but nothing grows there.
00:59:26Everybody who stood up
00:59:28without any direction about a promo,
00:59:31no time, no opponent, nothing to sell,
00:59:34you passed that test.
00:59:35Because it was really just to see
00:59:37who was gonna stand up.
00:59:38And I'm looking at overall everything.
00:59:42So, you know, could be a chance
00:59:44that if BJ wrestled here today,
00:59:47you might be getting the point, Bubba.
00:59:50But he didn't.
00:59:51The two people who did both today,
00:59:54who are getting the point on the ladies' side,
00:59:56it's Tyra.
01:00:01Yes!
01:00:03Okay.
01:00:06You don't gotta do all that.
01:00:08I like crying.
01:00:09I put my feelings out.
01:00:10I got the point for the team.
01:00:13Felt good.
01:00:15Felt really, really, really good.
01:00:20For the men,
01:00:22the point goes to Jasper.
01:00:27It felt like he was giving me a nod.
01:00:29Okay, I see the vision.
01:00:31You know, hopefully he sees
01:00:33that we can do business one day.
01:00:36This goes back to the whole reason
01:00:38I just sprung it on them to cut a promo.
01:00:41Because I think if Shiloh cuts a promo,
01:00:44Team Undertaker gets the point.
01:00:46With that, the new standings are
01:00:49Undertaker, two points.
01:00:52Mickie James, two points.
01:00:54Bubba Ray, not quite on the board just yet.
01:00:57And Booker T with four points.
01:01:06I don't really think, no matter how well the match went,
01:01:09I don't think I would have gotten a point.
01:01:11And I think the same for Chris.
01:01:14Jasper did his thing. Give it to him.
01:01:16Ain't nobody say he led me this time.
01:01:20It's just one point, you know.
01:01:22There's a lot of points to be scored.
01:01:24I do believe that the points were given fairly.
01:01:28If I had just a bit more experience,
01:01:30then I would have won those points,
01:01:32and I would have finally got Bubba on the board.
01:01:34This is hard work.
01:01:36But hard work is easy work for Team Firetype.
01:01:42My team has all the potential in the world.
01:01:46But potential doesn't put asses in seats.
01:01:51We had an opportunity to get two points,
01:01:54and we only got one.
01:01:55And it was because he didn't feel like
01:01:58he needed to get up and cut a promo.
01:02:01Me and Shiloh will have a discussion.
01:02:03I can promise you that he will not, ever,
01:02:07not get up and participate again.
01:02:11There's been a lot of opportunities so far
01:02:13for me to earn my team a point,
01:02:14and I haven't gotten one.
01:02:16So, definitely on my mind.
01:02:20In the wake of CM Punk's decision,
01:02:22Shiloh Hill is asked to share his thoughts
01:02:25before he heads out for the day.
01:02:28Taker seems to have a lot of faith.
01:02:31How does that feel?
01:02:34It feels...
01:02:35So, like, honestly, now I'm just getting mad
01:02:37that I didn't cut a promo.
01:02:38I kind of, in that moment, felt some legitimate regret
01:02:41that I didn't take that opportunity
01:02:43and ultimately cost my team another point.
01:02:46Honestly, it kind of turned into, like, a pity party.
01:02:48And, like, they said it was about knowing your character,
01:02:51and, like, to be honest, bro,
01:02:52I don't give a f*** about someone's grandma
01:02:54or grandpa or whatever.
01:02:55I don't give a f*** about BJ.
01:02:56I don't give a f*** about...
01:02:57Bro, half the f*** people are talking about it.
01:02:59I'm just sitting there like, bro,
01:03:00this is a f***ing pissing contest of emotion right now.
01:03:02I'm getting f***ing heated,
01:03:03and all these f***ing people are talking about s***
01:03:06that no one f***ing cares about!
01:03:08So I don't feel the need to f***ing come in here
01:03:10and have a pissing contest of who can make who feel what
01:03:12in emotions, bro.
01:03:13I'm not here to sell f***ing emotion.
01:03:14I'm not here to sell metaphors, bro,
01:03:16that Mike isn't a pipe bomb
01:03:17because it never f***ing blew up.
01:03:18I'm here to sell real f***ing violence!
01:03:23Shia LaBeouf, can I ask you a question?
01:03:24Nope.
01:03:25Why didn't you do that this afternoon?
01:03:28Wasn't ready.
01:03:33That kid's a money eater.
01:03:37You have to seize every opportunity.
01:03:41And to know that that's in him...
01:03:42Yeah.
01:03:45On top of what he can do in the ring.
01:03:47God almighty.
01:03:50You and that boy are gonna have a long talk tomorrow.
01:03:54Next time on LSG.
01:03:58An opportunity will come.
01:03:59I want you to seize it and kill it, man.
01:04:02There are still people that have yet to be
01:04:04in front of the crowd.
01:04:06I'm about to be in front of the people.
01:04:08Looks like he's done playing games right now.
01:04:10Full transparency, I was terrified.
01:04:14His single debut.
01:04:17We gotta make them feel it.
