00:00Tonight on LFG, the future greats are tasked with bringing something new to Season 2.
00:07Evolving as a character is a must to survive.
00:11It should be two girls going at one another fighting for an opportunity.
00:15I'm prepared to fight, every day I'm going hard.
00:18If it's war, I'm built to win, you can see my battle scars.
00:21You know what I came to do? Crowd is watching, they are on, screaming in that theme for more.
00:26Nothing like you've seen before.
00:27In our main event, two early favorites face off as Shiloh Hill battles Elijah Holyfield.
00:35It's an explosive night of action here on LFG.
00:39It's showtime.
00:42Last week at the WWE Performance Center, the first ever LFG draft took place.
00:48The teams are picked for Season 2.
00:52Newcomers and veterans would battle.
00:54And the first points of the season were awarded.
01:00Harlem, Lewis, standout mail.
01:02Danny Sikalski, unanimous vote.
01:05Today, Shawn Michaels meets with the legends and their new teams for the first time.
01:11Hello, everyone.
01:12Look, I was thinking to myself, I knew the draft was going to kind of shake things up.
01:19But I have to be honest, even I was pretty surprised by everything that went on.
01:27No shirt, huh?
01:28For the rest of the season, you will not see Elijah wear a shirt.
01:32Step forward, hit a double buy, and show them why you're winning this whole freaking thing.
01:39Oh, yeah.
01:40I got to admit, if I looked like that, I wouldn't wear a shirt either.
01:43But it's a new look, all right?
01:45Which is fantastic because that's what we're going to talk about, all right?
01:52We're going to get each of you out there.
01:54You're going to be competing once again.
01:56But this time, we want to see something different from each and every one of you.
02:03Now, there's an old saying in this business, which is new s**t better than old s**t, all right?
02:10The evolving as a character is a must to survive in this line of work.
02:16So we don't want to see you going back to old faithfuls in these matches tonight.
02:22We want to see something new, something that's going to set you apart from the rest of the crowd
02:28and even from who you were last season.
02:31Good luck.
02:41Welcome to the ultimate proving ground.
02:4716 future greats.
02:52Four legends.
02:55He is the epitome of WrestleMania.
02:58Aim high, you better aim hard because I'm going to do whatever it takes.
03:01He burns at the table.
03:04Can you dig that sucker?
03:07A chance to win an NXT contract.
03:12Every legend has a first chapter.
03:14The future starts now.
03:17The future brings you to a match.
03:22It's morning at the WWE Performance Center, and the future greats are meeting with their coaches.
03:29The legends must decide not just who will face off in today's matches, but what new elements and attitudes they want to see from each competitor.
03:38I want to see Serena go out and turn it up a little bit.
03:41We've been a babyface.
03:42We need to do something different.
03:44We need to shake it up.
03:44I think we need to come out of the heel.
03:46Very aggressive heel.
03:48I think we can break that beast out of here.
03:50All right?
03:51Let's do it.
03:51Let's do it.
03:52As far as you're concerned, Xena, do you remember that power slam move that we were talking about that you'd been working on?
03:59Yes, I do.
03:59You want to try that today?
04:00Yes, definitely.
04:01All right, cool.
04:02Booker thinks that there's a side of me that is definitely heelish, that he wants me to dig deep and pull out.
04:09So now to bring out more of my bitchiness, more of my personality, that's everything I'm going to show him more.
04:16Bulldog.
04:18Down.
04:19Take a minute.
04:21Now, just curious.
04:23If I see you give her a Bronco Buster and then hit the ropes and give her a bulldog, why do I hate you?
04:29The objective for Serena was to be a heel.
04:36What emotion are you going for?
04:39For them to not like me.
04:40Right.
04:40To be a heel.
04:41That's likable.
04:43Remember, your job is to be hated.
04:46Your job is to be loved.
04:49Cool moves don't make me hate you.
04:52The intent of being a jerk makes me hate you.
04:56The best heels in the world do this.
04:59And then they look mean and talk.
05:04I simplified for the ladies so they can go in there and do what they do well.
05:10Well.
05:12If you're telling me, Bubba, I'm going to set the tone in what I do earlier, that by the time I get to the Bronco Buster and the Bulldog, they're not going to light me.
05:20It'll work.
05:21All right.
05:22I'm with you.
05:24One thing about Bubba, he knows this stuff.
05:27And working with Serena, I totally trust Bubba in that situation and I think he's going to do a good job.
05:32Why didn't you do the Spinner Rooney when you were a heel?
05:34Because I can't play to the crowd.
05:36I got to make sure the crowd.
05:36What does the Spinner Rooney make them do?
05:38It makes me feel good.
05:39I can't make the crowd feel good.
05:40And I brought him over here just so you would understand a little bit better.
05:45Okay?
05:46He gave me a lot of advice, but more than anything, Bubba just pissed me off.
05:51So in some ways, that helped me just dig deeper and to find that anger inside of me.
05:59Backstage, I was aggravated, to say the least.
06:03I need you to get your in.
06:05You know, you don't want to tie up with someone like Padina right off the bat, so you might want to work with her a little bit.
06:10But when you do this, now I'm ready to tie up.
06:14All right.
06:14Bang.
06:14We tie up.
06:16This was an opportunity to show the coaches that the person that I was before is no longer here.
06:23You can be in this business for two seconds and they can drop you if they don't see the potential.
06:28But I know that I have that potential to be here for a long time.
06:33With Tatiana, more than anything, is finding a balance, finding something that she knows you can do ten times out of ten times.
06:40Get yourself back together now.
06:42Tatiana's never been a baby face, so that was a little different to her.
06:48Panina's aggression, we were wanting to step up, and she had a few new moves in there.
06:52This girl, like, this is ridiculous.
06:53I'm about to take her head off.
06:55She's wasting my time.
06:55My opponent for tonight's match is Tatiana.
06:59To be honest, she didn't come with no new ideas.
07:01Booker says, her own coach said, preparation is the only look we have.
07:05Here's the thing with Anthony.
07:09All the coaches compared him to The Rock last year, but he was trying to get away from that a little bit.
07:15Obviously, one of my biggest inspirations growing up, he wore the gloves.
07:19I played football growing up my entire life.
07:21The last thing before I stepped on that football field, I put on my gloves.
07:25Got it.
07:26Something new I want to bring to this and something that's going to bring that showtime element into this game is I'm going to put some gloves on because now I know it's time to whoop some ass.
07:35I've completely got rid of the vest in my entrance, so I'm coming out just singlet, no vest.
07:40I feel like the vest was very distracting.
07:43What about you, Elijah?
07:44What do you want to do different tonight?
07:45Coming out in new gear, changing up the pants from last time.
07:49I'm going to work on that a little bit.
07:51And working on this smooth flying shoulder tap out of the corner kind of looks, will be similar to a spear.
07:56Kind of going to stalk him from the corner and come out and hit him hard.
07:59It was very exciting for me because I get a chance to go out there and show the legends what I've been working on.
08:03Show them that I've made strides and I'm continuing to get better every single day.
08:06Well, for starters, I put the tooth in.
08:08I said, look, look, look.
08:09I didn't even realize it.
08:10You did?
08:11Why did you put a tooth back in?
08:12They needed to put one in so my gum could grow back.
08:15You guys know the deal, right?
08:16Cool.
08:17Okay.
08:17All right.
08:18I went out there with that mindset to go out there and kind of show you did pick the winner, Bubba.
08:22But to also show Undertaker that you had the chance to pick the winner as well.
08:25And you did.
08:27There's some good s**t.
08:28There's some good s**t here.
08:29All right?
08:30There's some really good s**t.
08:32I'm back in season two.
08:34Those are about to be crazy, too.
08:35I think season one I was a little too soft on them.
08:37With their objectives in mind, the future greats are now ready to take the stake.
08:45JB, get ready.
08:46It's time for the women to take center stage here on LFG.
08:50The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
08:53It's something new in season two, and Serena Linton looks to be coming out with a whole new attitude.
09:12Oh, you can say that again, and we don't just mean the fiery red in which she wears.
09:17She has been challenged by her new coach, her new legend, the two-time Hall of Famer, Booker T.
09:24We'll see exactly how well she does here tonight on LFG.
09:28Oh, yeah.
09:34Oh, yeah.
09:34All hail.
09:36All hail.
09:37All hail.
09:38All hail.
09:39All hail.
09:40All hail.
09:41All hail.
09:42All hail.
09:43All hail.
09:44All hail.
09:45All hail.
09:46All hail.
09:47All hail.
09:48All hail.
09:49All hail.
09:50All hail.
09:51All hail.
09:52All hail.
09:53All hail.
09:54All hail.
09:55All hail.
09:56All hail.
09:57All hail.
09:59All hail.
10:00All hail.
10:01Oh, man.
10:02It's too bad.
10:03Don't go anywhere as LFG rolls on.
10:05The finale of season one.
10:07Who can forget that incredible performance by Xena Sterling.
10:10Was enough to get the win for the season, but certainly won the respect of the legends uh,
10:23Oh, all right, okay, okay.
10:30Good lockup, that's the best lockup I've seen.
10:34Well, again, let's talk about Linton here because she's playing a new role, so to speak,
10:38for a lack of a better phrase here.
10:40It's something Booker wants to see, an aggressive, smart style from her.
10:44How is she going to be able to adapt to that?
10:46Well, it's going to be interesting to see how this plays out because Serena Linton won the hearts of everyone
10:51at first couple of episodes of LFG when we started out.
10:54Her origin story, incredible, and now finds herself in a very different position,
10:59and it's almost a position of confidence.
11:01It's confidence she's gained over the course of that incredible instruction.
11:04Oh, my word, take a look at that.
11:06Xena Sterling showing she's not just talking about it.
11:09She's been getting into the room, getting into film study, getting into extra gym sessions.
11:14That's something new out of the repertoire.
11:17Now, JB, do you think she's extra motivated then to get back to the finals
11:20and also she feels she would have won if not for the knee injury?
11:26Right in front of the ref.
11:29We've got to break that, right?
11:32Shoulders down and, ooh, did not relinquish the hold.
11:36And, well, we'll talk about that after the fact.
11:38But for Xena, you know, she wants to get back to the finals.
11:40She certainly does.
11:41She had that taste.
11:42She was so close.
11:44It was in her grasp.
11:46And then a very relentless Tyra Maysteel went right for the knee in that finals,
11:49and it was enough.
11:50It was over.
11:51And now Xena Sterling with a renewed energy, a renewed focus.
11:54Nice.
11:55And really, I think, a healthy outlook for season two.
11:59Trying to get that NXT contract.
12:01Trying to clock, punch, kick, stretch.
12:03Scratch her way to the top.
12:04What's going on here?
12:05Look out, Xena.
12:06Whoa.
12:07Well, obviously, we talked about being a student of the game.
12:11She's pulling out some European-style wrestling right here.
12:15And I don't ever recall Bubba doing something like that in the ring.
12:18But, hey, I could be wrong.
12:19Xena Sterling is studying tapes.
12:21And the name she's dropping my way about people she's influenced by,
12:25the European style, the Dave Taylors, the Finleys, the Lord Steven Regals,
12:30is part of her influence.
12:32And we're going to see some of that, I think, unfold and see that play out.
12:36We're going to talk about something new here this season.
12:38And there you go, Linton right now, right on top.
12:40And here's the thing that I always found interesting.
12:42You can say you're going to have a new attitude.
12:45It's a completely different thing to actually showcase it.
12:48Oh!
12:48That is what Linton is doing right here and right now.
12:56Oh, yeah, we wouldn't have seen that last season from Serena Linton.
12:58That is obviously the influence of Booker T getting in her ear,
13:02focused aggressiveness.
13:04He wants to see it all in season two from Serena Linton.
13:09Yeah.
13:09Serena looks a lot more comfortable this season.
13:11Oh, gosh.
13:12It's not close.
13:13Feeling comfortable in her own skin, maybe.
13:19You know, that's the whole thing is you have to get comfortable being uncomfortable.
13:25Oh.
13:26Oh.
13:26I'll take it.
13:27That's it.
13:29Almost got it.
13:30Almost got it with the old splitterooty.
13:32Almost got it with the old splitterooty.
13:34Splitterooty.
13:34I love seeing that when it clicks with Booker,
13:37when he sees success, when he sees his knowledge implemented in the ring
13:41by these future grades, that he is showing the path to a better place.
13:44Show me the hair.
13:46Choker with the hair.
13:49And the other thing to, you know, have to remember is you got to think
13:53that some of these women that are in the locker room have to look to somebody
13:55like Roxanne Perez, the prodigy making a name for herself in the WWE,
14:00came also under the tutelage of Booker T.
14:02Well, certainly he is no stranger to making stars as his Booker T.
14:07But let's not forget.
14:07Rolling through, shifting weight, and oh, near fall.
14:12It was a very close finish in season one.
14:14But let's not forget, Undertaker did walk away as LFG champion.
14:18They created good separation after the double quiz, Liz.
14:22As a reminder, it's not always about wins and losses here on LFG.
14:28Who will impress the coaches?
14:30Who will earn that point?
14:32It's about making that impression, right?
14:34It's about connecting with the audience, and Xena Sterling has done that
14:38and continues to do that.
14:40Xena, who is so close to the contract in season one.
14:44Can she kick open that door, march through it, and get the contract finally handed
14:49to her by the heartbreak kid, Shawn Michaels.
14:51Was it still early going here?
14:53But wow, what a power slam!
14:56And whoa, modified of sorts.
14:58I like that.
14:59I don't know that I've ever seen that.
15:00I don't think so either.
15:02Well, you know when you're doing something the Undertaker's never seen before,
15:05you're breaking new ground for sure.
15:06Oh my.
15:08You just see the strength of Xena?
15:10I feel bad for Serena.
15:12A great athlete and a power lifter, Xena Sterling.
15:15Nice counter and a little bit of a hesitation.
15:18Shoulders down and whoa!
15:22Here is your winner, Serena Linton!
15:27Serena steals it!
15:32I can't believe how far he's gone.
15:34It's a high praise there, JB.
15:51I just have a lot of fire in me, and I'm not here to be friends with anybody anymore.
15:55I mean, of course, this is a competition at the end of the day,
15:57and season one was a great opportunity, but season two is about winning, baby,
16:00so that's what I'm here to do.
16:01Action continuing right here on LFG.
16:07The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
16:12Introducing first, representing Team Booker T,
16:18from Sydney, Australia,
16:22Tatiana Tumar!
16:27Wow, look at her in this gear.
16:31Oh, that was something new.
16:38It's all about something new in season two.
16:41Tatiana Dumas from Team Booker T.
16:44Not often you and I don't really have much to say here, JB, on LFG.
16:49I kind of got scared.
16:52Hey!
16:53My opponent representing Team McCool
17:07from Seattle, Washington,
17:11Lena Tumar!
17:13Well, if you weren't scared before, JB,
17:18you may be a little bit shaky now.
17:19I'll tell you what,
17:20I would not want to upset either one of these two competitors.
17:25Penina Tualapa,
17:26T-Nasty,
17:27and Tatiana about to lock horns,
17:30do battle here,
17:31and something new in season two.
17:32What are we going to see from these two?
17:34Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.
17:39Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.
17:40Good boy.
17:43Get our P-Nasty.
17:45Penina was the first female chosen.
17:48Tatiana, I believe, was the last.
17:50I'm sure there's going to be a chip
17:52on Tatiana's shoulder here tonight.
17:54She knows there's something to prove,
17:55and I'll also say this much.
17:56She never lacked confidence in the ring,
17:57no question about it.
17:58But in there with Penina.
18:00Wow, you're going to find out real fast.
18:02You're going to learn today, JB.
18:04Come settle your issue.
18:07And that is certainly what P. Nasty brings to the table.
18:10The first round pick of Michelle McCool.
18:13She could have picked anybody on the female side of things.
18:17And Panina Torepa, her first choice.
18:19I can't say I blame her.
18:20Let's also get this out of the way.
18:22These two are not friendly with each other.
18:24They do not get along.
18:25They're putting their differences aside, though, to try and show what they can do in the ring.
18:30And look, JB, you've been around the industry a lot longer than me.
18:33That's something that doesn't get talked a lot about on outside circles is the angst between two individuals.
18:40But they still got to go get a job done.
18:42Well, I think a great example of that is Shawn Michaels and The Undertaker.
18:45They did not get along for a while coming up.
18:48But look, they end up having perhaps arguably the greatest WrestleMania match of all time.
18:52Sure.
18:53Maybe two of them.
18:53Sure.
18:54And, you know, quite the matches even outside of WrestleMania.
18:58I wonder if that is going through the coaches' minds, the legends' minds as well, watching these two right now inside the squared circle.
19:05It's a job to do.
19:06You've got to get business done with the ring.
19:07Shoulders down.
19:08Pinas able to roll through, roll out.
19:10And this matchup continuing right now.
19:15What you got?
19:16This Tatiana's look like she's been doing this.
19:19I swear.
19:21She's looking great, man.
19:22We need to stay on track, huh?
19:25We're still on track here.
19:27Take your time.
19:27Beautiful work right there.
19:29Great time.
19:31That's a lot of high praise coming from Booker T.
19:34Ay-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi.
19:37Yeah.
19:38Get your feet.
19:39Get your feet back.
19:40Get your base.
19:41Yeah, she's sitting on it.
19:43I have at least seen great growth from Tatiana.
19:46She seems a little bit more confident with her ability inside the ring.
19:49Well, she certainly does.
19:50That's something Panina has excelled in, as well as that confidence.
19:53Now, over the course of time, we've seen that develop right before our very own eyes here on LNG.
19:57Whoa.
19:58What a transition.
20:00Showcases strength and a big Samoan drop.
20:02Will this be enough for Panina?
20:04And another kick out this time.
20:06Tatiana.
20:08Doesn't look 100%, though.
20:09It's almost like she wiggled her way free out of necessity.
20:12Let's see if she's able to get back into this matchup.
20:14Well, P-Nasty teased a brand-new signature finishing maneuver if she can hit her.
20:19I'm curious to see what she's talking about here.
20:21I'm sure we're going to know what it is when we see it.
20:25As P-Nasty has taken this matchup over.
20:29Take your time, P-Nasty.
20:30Take your time.
20:31Take your time right here.
20:36Back into what the legends are thinking about in this moment, in this match.
20:40Again, not about wins and losses.
20:41Maybe one of these two athletes will earn themselves a point.
20:45Not only for themselves, but for their team.
20:47Because P-Nasty is somebody who goes back to last year and also saw the finish line.
20:52Just couldn't quite get there.
20:54Oh, lay it in.
20:55Shmo.
20:55Lay it in.
20:57Shmo.
20:59I can hear all the coaches, especially saw the look of the Undertaker.
21:02Whoa.
21:03Wow.
21:03You're talking about laying it in.
21:05Big, massive spear for Panina.
21:11Here is your winner.
21:13Panina.
21:14We love her.
21:18That's the best hot Jada look that she's been doing there.
21:22Panina, too.
21:23They felt so comfy with each other.
21:25It's going to be a hell of a year.
21:28Yell a hell of a season.
21:30Hard to argue.
21:32You can say that again.
21:34But was that what you were alluding to?
21:36That massive spear from P-Nasty.
21:38Well, she hit it and she hit it good.
21:39Obviously victorious in this matchup.
21:42Will she be victorious when it comes down to awarding the points?
21:45We are going to find out.
21:48They did a good job.
21:49No, they did a good job.
21:50That's the one thing.
21:50I picked up right where I left off on season one.
21:57I told you guys I'm coming with the craziest chip on my damn shoulder.
22:00We all know the dominating factor is me.
22:02She didn't have a match with me in first season.
22:04They said she was ass in first season.
22:06I bring her ass here.
22:07She riding with the high roller.
22:08She got to play like a high roller.
22:10That's exactly what it was.
22:12I'm going to say she knows how to talk.
22:14So communicate during matches.
22:16And, you know, she really lays her in.
22:18That's what most girls are scared of doing here.
22:20And that's how it should be.
22:21It should be a real fight.
22:22It should be two girls going at one another fighting for an opportunity.
22:27That's what that is here.
22:31Two down, two to go.
22:33And as the crowd continues filing in, it was time for more action here on LFG.
22:41My opponent tonight is Anthony Luke.
22:42He's definitely a real threat in this competition.
22:44He's definitely somebody who needs to be taken serious.
22:46But he's somebody who talks a little too much sometimes.
22:49And also needs to get put down.
22:51So hopefully I can put down that dog today.
22:56Ain't nobody like me.
22:57I really do this.
22:58It's showtime.
22:59Oh, look at that.
23:02Look at that.
23:03Look at that.
23:03Look at those gloves.
23:07Something new.
23:08In the hands of Anthony Luke.
23:11He said when he put those gloves on, he feels like showtime.
23:14The test is scheduled for one fall.
23:17Introducing first, Anthony Luke.
23:23That's not what's new, right?
23:24That's something new.
23:25I mean, that's something new.
23:27I mean, this guy was my pupil last season.
23:32And he's still trying to be like me.
23:35Come on now.
23:35Come on now.
23:35Let me tell you something.
23:36The gloves, that's not going to work.
23:39That's not going to work for him.
23:41What?
23:41What do you mean it's not going to work for him?
23:43You haven't even seen it yet.
23:45Just as a little flair.
23:46As a little flair.
23:50Nothing in the world feels like this moment right here.
23:54Let's get it.
24:01And his opponent, Chris!
24:06Something about this dude last season has truly joined.
24:09Right.
24:10He's got something.
24:10It's happened.
24:12Something I've got to change, but I'll see right now.
24:15I really think.
24:16I think this kid is relying on that damn secret.
24:21You don't want to miss this.
24:22LFG action.
24:23Coming up next.
24:27Welcome back to LFG.
24:28Two clear standouts looking to one-up each other here.
24:31See, look at his body language right now.
24:33I don't ever want to see that ever again.
24:35That's something that I've got to change.
24:36Well, I think Booker's also a little fired up and ornery tonight here, JB, because of, and I take back what I said I will never argue against Michelle McCool.
24:45But when it comes to Booker, I mean, that was Booker's prized pupil, so to speak.
24:51Well, that was all last season.
24:53Oh, and a little dance.
24:54You like that?
24:55A little showtime shuffle?
24:57One thing about Anthony, Anthony's got a lot of talent.
25:02He does.
25:03He does.
25:03He's got to be able to figure this thing out and understand how to make himself look good at all times.
25:09See that little lazy, that little lazy damn fool.
25:12And it's all about seeing something new in season two and something new for Booker T.
25:20Is Chris Island on his team?
25:22Something new for season two is Anthony Luke being coached by the legend Michelle McCool.
25:28Well, let's also not forget the gloves he's wearing as well, but Anthony Luke in control right now.
25:34First male that was picked in the draft, but he also knows.
25:37Whoa, whoa, cover to kick out.
25:38Early exit last year.
25:40That can't happen again.
25:42Shoulders out one more time this time.
25:43It's Chris Island on top.
25:45Well, everyone picked Anthony Luke to be a finalist, but guilty of that.
25:48But the way it all went down, he was out early last season.
25:52I caught admiring his work right there.
25:54Rush that shot.
25:55Don't rush that.
25:56He's already caught up in the ropes.
25:58It's a new season and a new attitude for Chris Island.
26:02Anthony, you've got to lay it in for me, son.
26:04Come on, I need more body language.
26:05I need body into it, yep.
26:06He's not giving me enough body language.
26:08He's just doing it.
26:09Come on, Anthony.
26:09When it comes to Anthony Luke also, he seems to be in control of this match in more than
26:15one way.
26:15Well, Anthony Luke sees himself as a shoulders down, kick out.
26:18A bit of a ring general given the fact that he is so early in the stages of his career.
26:23Both men are.
26:25But as far as experience go, you have to give the nod to Anthony Luke in this one.
26:28Now with Chris Island that's coming into season two with a new fire and a new energy and a
26:34new coach.
26:35He's looking to unleash a new side of himself as well.
26:37He's also, that being Island, trying to get back to a vertical base.
26:40But nice job, Anthony Luke.
26:42I think we're getting close to seeing what I'm looking for.
26:44I think that was it right there.
26:45Beautiful.
26:46Not bad.
26:47Not bad.
26:47And look at Anthony Luke taking over and bam, big power slam center of the ring.
26:53Cover.
26:54Hook of the leg.
26:55And whoosh.
26:56I don't think he hooks a leg in season one, by the way.
26:58Well, it's something new in season two.
27:00And Anthony Luke taking it to Chris Island here.
27:03Michelle McCool is eyeing her number one draft pick.
27:06As she enters this season with so much to prove for herself, kind of a new side for Michelle
27:12McCool, new aspect of her career, a Hall of Fame career.
27:16Now, could she be a legend that takes the championship away from her husband?
27:21Okay, I can take that.
27:22I can take that as the baby face going to the bottom rope for that one reason right there.
27:29Well, you know, Booker, he would love to have that championship.
27:32I don't like to bring up old things, but he thinks he was robbed from season one, and
27:36that championship should be his.
27:38And showed up in season two thinking everybody was against him.
27:41Who are those gloves?
27:42It's Sean.
27:43I don't necessarily about the Sean.
27:44I'm not a fashionista myself, but when it comes to Chris Island, he said Anthony Luke
27:48is a threat to win the whole thing, but he talks too much, and tonight he's looking to
27:52shut him up.
27:55And oh, that's certainly one way to do it.
27:58I'll say this much.
27:58Chris Island showing some new confidence in the ring.
28:02He said there is nothing like the feeling here in front of the WWE Universe as he tries
28:07to get some feeling back into that knee.
28:09Big monkey flip out of the corner.
28:12Starting to feel it here, JB.
28:14Certainly, I will show us some...
28:15Oh, oh, oh, oh.
28:16That's a blast.
28:17Ooh.
28:18What are we talking about?
28:19That bullseye on the knee.
28:21On the left knee specifically, and then just like that, lights, camera, action for Showtime.
28:28Yeah.
28:28Here is your winner, Anthony Luke.
28:36Not bad.
28:36Not bad.
28:37Not bad.
28:37I like it.
28:39I wonder if that stings just a little bit for Booker T to see Showtime victorious.
28:44Is it enough to get the point?
28:45Let's take a look at what happened earlier.
28:47Anthony Luke and Chris Island.
28:49Something new in Season 2.
28:51Chris Island showed some new offense, but some new aggression from Anthony Luke.
28:54You can say that again.
28:55Focused on the lower body for the entire matchup.
28:59Came back in the end to prove Showtime is just that.
29:03Maybe here.
29:04Good finishing.
29:05I like that.
29:06Unbelievable.
29:07In Season 2 on LFG.
29:10Like I said, ain't nothing in the world as good as that feeling right there.
29:25He happy he just lost.
29:27That's how you know.
29:28That's how you know I led him through a great match.
29:31He happy he lost.
29:32Makes sense.
29:33I don't know about that.
29:34With adrenaline running high, it's now time for our main event of the evening.
29:40Shiloh Hill against Elijah Holyfield.
29:43There's nothing like being in the arena.
29:47I got a spot.
29:47You got a spot?
29:48Just me and you.
29:50I got a spot.
29:52You want to?
29:53You'll get a better feel with Shiloh.
29:55I'll get a better feel for Elijah.
29:58All right.
29:58Let's go.
29:59Come on.
30:02I think he's ribbing me.
30:04You want to go first?
30:05No, I do not want to go first.
30:07Down.
30:08Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the stars of LFG.
30:16WWE Hall of Famer, Bubba Ray Dudley.
30:23And The Undertaker.
30:34Well, welcome in ringside, big dreads alongside Jeremy Borash.
30:43Jeremy, we got a pair of Hall of Famers to our left, and it's another week of LFG.
30:48Greatness all around, right, huh?
30:50Bubba Ray, Undertaker, taking a bird's eye view of the action here for LFG as we are underway
30:55with season two, and underway with our main event tonight.
30:59How about to head to the ring?
31:04The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
31:08This is your guy.
31:09This is my guy.
31:10From Northfield, New Hampshire.
31:13Wagon.
31:14Back to the 152 pass.
31:17Shiloh.
31:19Did you ever get a chance to speak to Sean and ask him why he chose Jasper instead of Shiloh?
31:27I don't know that, I think there's so many layers for Shiloh that you've got to make sure that
31:39whatever you present him with, I think, I mean, it's got to be, there's got to be a story
31:44just due to the depth of all the things that he can do.
31:48And his opponent, Roman Lennon-Charger, weighing in at 234 pounds, Elijah Pooley-Pills.
32:03And Elijah, that hurt me when you chose him.
32:06I just want to let you know that.
32:08But I understand why.
32:11This kid right here is going to be, he's going to be special.
32:14There was something about him, and in the middle of last season, is when I was like,
32:19wow, I see it.
32:21And I think he did you the absolute best that you could have done with him in his first year.
32:25I think this year, he's going to shine even better.
32:27Yeah, I agree.
32:28I agree.
32:32I don't want to make this seem negative here, but do you think coming up a little bit short
32:37in season one has helped fuel the fire a little bit more, has become more fuel for him
32:43to succeed here in season two?
32:44Well, let me ask you this, Mick.
32:46Does he look like he's in the best shape of his life?
32:48Yes, I would agree.
32:49Let me ask you this, Mick.
32:50Is there a tooth now where a tooth was missing before?
32:53I haven't seen him smile, but I'll assume yes.
32:55There is.
32:56And Shiloh Hill has, I guess, he could say he's upgraded.
33:00Cover.
33:00And a kick out.
33:02I think with Elijah, it's...
33:03Everything he does is explosive.
33:05Elijah, everything is just...
33:07Keep it simple and explosive.
33:08Yes.
33:11Of course, The Undertaker, along with Bubba Ray, a pair of Hall of Famers, have a very
33:16close view, a very keen eye on this matchup, our main event here on LFG.
33:22And look, when it comes to somebody like Holyfield, as you see him in this matchup, is he still
33:29raw potential?
33:30That was something that was said a lot about him, raw potential.
33:33Is he still that, or is he starting to craft himself?
33:35I think we're done with that.
33:37I think we're done with raw potential, or what can be, what could be someday.
33:41Now that someday is about...
33:42Oh!
33:43And in a very short time, Elijah Holyfield has put his name on the map.
33:47And I'll tell you what, the one thing that's very interesting about this, Bubba saw that
33:49early.
33:50Bubba went for Elijah Holyfield in the draft very early, and he knows taking him from
33:55under the tootel into The Undertaker is a great move.
33:59Big neckbreaker, center of the ring.
34:01Hill going in for the cover.
34:02Hook of the leg.
34:03Holyfield able to kick out at two.
34:10Up a little too quick.
34:12A little too quick.
34:16That'll stop you in your tracks.
34:21Nice combination.
34:23Neckbreaker into another cover, and another near fall.
34:26Another innovation, something new there that we haven't seen before from Shiloh Hill, and
34:31that was the directive.
34:32Let's bring out something new.
34:33And we're seeing a new look from Shiloh Hill.
34:35We're seeing, I think, some time in the gym.
34:37You can see that.
34:38And maybe a little bit more of a tan.
34:39That fresh face now, of course.
34:41Fully...
34:42A full mouth of teeth.
34:45Look, when it comes to fashion, JB, I think everybody on A&E should be looking at you and
34:49listening for the fashion sense.
34:51You're a very fashionable individual, I might add.
34:53I wouldn't go that far, but...
34:57That shades of his father.
35:04Yeah, that right hand is money.
35:07Oh!
35:07Look at how he slows it.
35:10Nice!
35:11Yes, Elijah!
35:12Wow.
35:13An onslaught of offense from Elijah Holyfield.
35:15Coming right back in.
35:16Big spine busting.
35:18Got some new moves.
35:19He's got some new things in the toolbox.
35:26All right, time to go to work.
35:28Nice back elbow.
35:29Yeah, it's time to go to work.
35:32Uh-oh!
35:34Into the cover for Hill.
35:36And wow!
35:37Big win on LFG.
35:40Hill!
35:41Steps forward all the way.
35:43Yeah, yeah.
35:45And even with the added pressure of the Hall of Famer,
35:49is Bubble Ray Dudley and The Undertaker.
35:51What a match this was.
35:53Hill was able to overcome the odds.
35:56Overcome another obstacle to seal the deal here tonight.
36:02You would have definitely taken him in the second round, right?
36:05Well, maybe even the first round.
36:07Elijah?
36:08Yeah.
36:09Obviously, I had to take Shiloh.
36:11I took Shiloh to the finals, right?
36:13Yep.
36:13But it hurt, man.
36:15It hurt when I heard you say Elijah.
36:17Good way to kick it off.
36:25Really fun.
36:27How's the two?
36:27Oh, it's...
36:28I have no feeling in it, so...
36:30This is the first time I heard, like, a big pop,
36:34and it kind of shocked me.
36:35When I was in the match,
36:36I was almost wondering, like,
36:37if something else was going on.
36:38But I thought,
36:39there has to be other parts.
36:40We're the only ones wrestling,
36:41so it was my first time getting a big pop.
36:43All smiles at the PC
36:45as the day's matches come to a close.
36:48And up next,
36:49the legends will select the standouts
36:51and award the points for the day.
36:54Today's challenge was to bring something new to season two.
36:58And now, it's time to see which future greats
37:00impress the legends enough
37:01to earn a point for their team.
37:03We're going to start with the females,
37:06and I'm going to kick it off with Michelle McCool.
37:09This was not an easy vote.
37:13Zina, you're great as always.
37:15Tatiana, I love the new look.
37:17Serena, you came out a completely different person,
37:19working as a heel,
37:21felt comfortable,
37:22and I saw that.
37:23I think you fought a good, aggressive match, Penina.
37:26I like the new sphere.
37:28I like the attitude.
37:29I like your presence.
37:29I like how you carry yourself.
37:31And that's why my point goes to Penina.
37:34Booker T, let's spin it up.
37:36Serena, you know, you stepped up.
37:39As far as totally 180
37:41from season one to season two,
37:44you showed me so much.
37:46My vote goes to Serena.
37:47Okay, Taker, what do you say?
37:50Zina, you, right now,
37:52you're still the one to beat.
37:55And, I mean, you need to be prepared for that
37:57because everybody that's standing up there
38:00with you and the other girls,
38:03they're coming.
38:04They're coming after you.
38:05Everybody wants this,
38:05and I think everybody right now,
38:07where we're at,
38:08everybody's got a shot.
38:10But, Serena,
38:12you're getting my vote.
38:14Okay, so that's two votes for Serena.
38:17Bubba Ray,
38:18looks like it comes down to your vote.
38:21Zina, it must suck to be the one to beat,
38:25but not get the point.
38:27The most new we've seen is from you, Serena.
38:31You get my vote.
38:34Serena, you are the standout female here today.
38:37What you saw after my first match on season two
38:42is only a glimpse
38:44of what I'm going to bring the rest of the season,
38:45which is a new side of me
38:47and someone that is relentless
38:49and willing to do whatever it takes to win.
38:52Moving on to the standout males.
38:56Elijah, you, to me,
38:58brought the most new.
39:01You get my vote.
39:02Chris, you my guy, of course,
39:06but it's a couple of things we've got to work on.
39:09It's a couple of things we've got to change for season two.
39:12Something's got to change.
39:13You're damn right.
39:14I'm not living like this no more.
39:15I'm not walking up to these deliberations.
39:17I'm not doing these matches
39:18to get treated and talk to like this.
39:20I'm going to give y'all what y'all want.
39:22It might be too much.
39:23I hope y'all ready,
39:24but I'm going to give y'all what y'all want.
39:25The one guy
39:27that stepped up, I thought,
39:29was Elijah Holyfield.
39:30In my eyes,
39:32the guy that improved the most
39:34is Elijah Holyfield.
39:37For the new stuff that I saw with you, Elijah,
39:39and it looks so freaking good,
39:41I vote for Elijah.
39:44Unanimous vote for Elijah.
39:46So the standout feature greats today,
39:48Serena and Elijah.
39:51This is a war, not a battle.
39:53This is not a quick thing,
39:54so I'm sure I may have won this battle in a sense,
39:56but I understand that it's still so much work to do.
39:58With that,
40:00Buckle Ray,
40:00you are on the board with one point.
40:03Undertaker,
40:04one point.
40:05And Booker T,
40:07currently in the lead with two points.
40:11The points have been awarded,
40:13and the future greats meet with their coaches
40:15for some end-of-the-day conversations.
40:18Earlier,
40:19when we talked,
40:20you continued to help me
40:23dig deeper to find
40:24that in myself,
40:27and to be able to push that,
40:29because I was pissed off.
40:30I know you probably knew that.
40:32I was pissed off back there.
40:33My job is to find your button
40:36and not push it,
40:39kick it,
40:41and to bring the best out of you.
40:43I definitely did my job,
40:45and I definitely showed Bubba
40:47that I can make any role fit,
40:49no matter what.
40:51While the future greats brought a lot of changes
40:53to LFG today,
40:54sometimes the more things change,
40:56the more they stay the same.
40:58What happened?
40:59I didn't do it.
41:00So I bite into a slice of pizza,
41:07and my fake tooth breaks off
41:09the screw in my mouth.
41:12What did you bite into?
41:13I literally just bit into this pizza,
41:16just like this.
41:18I didn't really like it that much anyways.
41:20It didn't really fit the look.
41:23My gum was like super close, too.
41:25Next time on LFG.
41:41I would like to tell you
41:43you're all going to make it.
