00:00The long road to earning an NXT contract has almost come to an end.
00:06Tonight, it's the LFG Semifinals.
00:10The final four women and the final four men meet in the center of the ring.
00:15It's Shiloh Hill versus Anthony Liu.
00:18The stakes are even higher, but I can't go home again.
00:20Panina Tualepa against Zena Sterling.
00:23I will not only pin your ass, but put you in the body bag.
00:27Danny Sikalski battles Serena Linton.
00:29Almost, baby, let's go.
00:31And Drake Moreau goes one-on-one with Harlem Lewis.
00:34I'm looking to go out there and beat the out of somebody.
00:38This is your time to shine.
00:41Who's going home?
00:42And who's going to the LFG Championship?
00:46You are looking at the rest of your lives.
00:49Now is the time.
00:51What are you going to do about it?
00:59Welcome to the Ultimate Proving Draft.
01:02The 16 future greats.
01:04Let's go.
01:05When they asked who did it best, will they mention?
01:08Let's go.
01:08The evolution from a few legends.
01:10He is the epitome of Wrestlemania!
01:14Aim high, you better aim hard, because I'm going to do whatever it takes.
01:17He might get the table!
01:20Can't prove this, man!
01:22A chance to win an NXT contract.
01:29Every legend has a first chapter.
01:31The future starts now.
01:36It's been one week since the shocking elimination of B.J. Ray, thanks in part to Drake Moreau's
01:54return to Team Bubba Ray Dudley.
01:56Great job!
01:57Drake showed up.
01:59I did not see it coming.
02:03That was pretty bogus.
02:03That's how you f***ing entertain!
02:07Follow that!
02:09Follow that!
02:14And then there were eight.
02:17It is my duty to award a point.
02:20And yes, I am deeming this event the LFG Screwjob.
02:27Drake Moreau, you are getting a point.
02:29But I also have to give a point to Bubba's team.
02:34All right, because when it appears that everyone else is playing checkers, Bubba,
02:40who knew it, was playing chess.
02:42Chess.
02:43We're down!
02:49Right through the uprights.
02:51We want to call it a technicality or whatever, but he's a man down, scoops up a dude that comes in.
03:00Is it technicality or is it charity?
03:01Yeah, so Taker said that me being back is charity.
03:05You know, he was the one to say it, but I'm sure everybody's thinking it.
03:07With everything that's going on and me being voted out of this competition and coming back, I'm pissed off.
03:13And this is the perfect opportunity to go out there and just let it loose.
03:16Why did I decide to give Drake Moreau a second chance?
03:23And with all due respect to the boss, to the dead man, Drake Moreau was lost because he was just a six foot six, 275 pound ass kicker.
03:38So why did I pick him?
03:41Because I started to see it come all together.
03:43He is a Bayou boy.
03:45He's a good dude.
03:47He's got a great personality.
03:49I wanted to bring that out of him.
03:55Tonight, four matches.
03:58And then Houston, Texas for the LFG finals, where one man and one woman has an opportunity to receive an NXT contract.
04:19Good luck.
04:20The LFG final four for both the men and the women are set.
04:26For the women, the top seed is Panina Tualepa, with tonight's matches being P Nasty battling Zena Sterling and Danny Sikalski facing Serena Linton.
04:36With a three-way tie for first, Drake's recent win will serve as a tiebreaker and pits the Bayou boy against Harlem Lewis,
04:45while Shiloh Hill will step into the ring against Anthony Luke.
04:49Pro wrestling is more than a contact sport.
04:53There's also a psychological element.
04:56All right, ma'am.
04:58We're here again, sir.
05:00I need you to lock in.
05:02I need you to go out there and show them just who Showtime is.
05:06Tonight, the semi-finalists will step into the ring for face-to-face promo battles.
05:11It's an exercise that showcases the ability to think on their feet.
05:15It's also an opportunity for the legends to see if their future greats can gain a mental edge
05:20over their opponent before the matches begin.
05:23This is an opportunity for them to let people know why they want to see this match,
05:29why they deserve to be in the semi-finals.
05:32Let's get it, coach.
05:33Appreciate it.
05:35I want you to feel it.
05:36Feel it?
05:36Yeah, I feel it.
05:37Yeah, I feel it.
05:38That's it.
05:39That's what I need, man.
05:41You got this.
05:48Anthony, are you ready?
05:50Shallow, are you ready?
05:51Let's get it on.
05:52Ring that bell!
05:56Oh, I've been waiting for this.
05:57I've been waiting for this.
05:58What's up, man?
05:59The favorite, huh?
06:00The Beast ain't going to be in there to save you today.
06:01I don't need him to be.
06:02Undertaker's not going to be in there to save you.
06:03It's just me and you.
06:05It's just me and you.
06:06It's always been me.
06:06It's just me and you.
06:07It's always been me.
06:08All right, then show me something.
06:10It's over with.
06:12Shallow's eating his soul right now.
06:14Oh, please.
06:16Please.
06:17I got him locked in.
06:19Do you two ever look at each other like that?
06:21No.
06:22Not anymore.
06:22No, not one bit.
06:27Eat lunch.
06:28Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome, the legend of LFG, WWE Hall of Famer, Michelle McCool, and the
06:42Undertaker.
06:49WWE Universe showing their love and admiration for these two Hall of Famers.
06:55But as we come in here ringside, JB, last week it was the end of the line for one woman.
07:02Tonight, it will be the end of the line for one of these two men.
07:06Well, we are just going to see a situation right now with Michelle McCool's pride and joy, Anthony Luke,
07:11and the Undertaker's prized pupil, Shiloh Hill, about to do battle.
07:16He's beat.
07:19He's beat.
07:20He's already beat.
07:21The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
07:30Introducing first, representing Team McCool, Anthony Luke.
07:37You know, I just want to throw this out there that this is really high stakes in this match
07:41because Anthony Luke came into season two.
07:44Some would have said the front runner to win the whole thing.
07:47Yes.
07:47Let's go.
07:48Let's go.
07:50He makes me a little nervous, I have to admit.
07:53He's got everything in the toolbox.
07:55He's just got to put it all together.
07:58But you know what?
07:59I got to put my shades on.
08:02For Shiloh's future, Shiloh's future is so bright.
08:08And his opponent, representing Team Undertaker, Shiloh Hill.
08:16This truly is a big fight feeling.
08:18And you see Anthony Luke right now kind of squared up.
08:21If you go back earlier in LFG, these two squared off once before.
08:25And it was Anthony Luke who got a jump start on Shiloh Hill in that matchup.
08:29He certainly did.
08:30And I'll tell you what, Shiloh Hill has confidence.
08:33Shiloh Hill has that look at it.
08:35That intensity.
08:37Be like you.
08:39No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
08:40Give me the bell.
08:45I'm gonna try it out.
08:51Vick Joseph alongside the legend himself Jeremy Borash.
08:57winner will go on loser will go home lfg semi-finals underway
09:07he's gonna keep messing around and shallow's gonna clean his clock here well they certainly
09:20have great trainers you talk about michelle mccool stepping up to the plate a lot of people
09:24thought what will michelle mccool bring to season two well obviously by the points she has been
09:29very successful anthony luke was her first draft pick in the first episode we saw how effective
09:35that's been shiloh hill back on team undertaker for a second season you ever sit with shiloh
09:41hill and search the dark web i've gone down that rabbit hole a few times and it's taken me
09:45it's taken hours of my life well look at the eyes i'm looking at people buying he's buying shoes
09:52off the dark web he's oh that was an interesting shoulder break or shoulder tackle excuse me
09:58there's shiloh hill hill who is unorthodox but again as you call them the prize pupil of the
10:05undertaker undertaker by the way won season one from a legend standpoint he's looking to repeat
10:11shiloh hill there you see some members of the wwe universe here tonight who corner they're in and they certainly are fired up for this again i said it jv big fight feel there is a different atmosphere surrounding this matchup here on lfg
10:13they know what's that stank and wow there is some of that
10:42some of that quote-unquote toothless aggression undertaker just popped out of his seat like he sat up at wrestlemania he knows he has so much time invested in shiloh hill there's such a personal aspect of this oh i mean we see it every week here on lfg but what you don't see is the hours spent honing the craft guiding him on his journey for both michelle mccool and anthony luke and shiloh hill but i'll tell you what the relationship with undertaker and shiloh hill is something special
11:11into the cover and a kick out is anthony luke right now has got to be wondering what is going through the mind of michelle mccool but one thing we do now is anthony luke can deliver to the ring and we're seeing it
11:24nice combination from luke luke luke into the cover hooks the leg and another kick out
11:32and you can't doubt the connection that shiloh hill has with identity universe hoisted up
11:46bam wow big power slam
11:50quick the counter for shiloh hill who's now trying to rally in this matchup michelle mccool and undertaker both on their feet
11:58crowd rising to their feet knowing what's at stake here semi-finals of lfg
12:08jb i have never been ringside for an lfg match and had this sort of intensity i have to maybe go back to madison square garden
12:16in the finals last year and shiloh hill has been battle tested he's been in those deep waters and right now he's trying to run through his opponent
12:26he's trying to once again bang show the legends he's worth the contract he's worth another trip to the next round
12:36bang back elbow
12:40one two three
12:46gotta keep your composure right now
12:50boister up luke and anthony just like in the first match between these two ripping away at the face going right at the eyes
12:58counter though
13:00it was effective the first time not the second
13:02he didn't get lights camera action instead
13:05it's shiloh hill
13:07with a stormbreaker
13:11here is your winner
13:14shiloh hill
13:17Who will move out of the semi-finals throughout LFG?
13:28That match right there could be on any of our shows.
13:31I was so excited for them.
13:33The crowd was so into what they were doing.
13:40Yes!
13:41Damn!
13:42Was that fun?
13:43Fun!
13:44Yes!
13:45Normally, I am pretty reserved, but I needed them to feel how important that match was, not only for LFG, but moving forward in their careers.
13:58The timing, everything was awesome.
14:01Hey, that means a lot coming from you guys. That's crazy!
14:03These are the nights that you will remember forever, man.
14:07We put on a match that made The Undertaker jump up and down and lose his voice is so cool.
14:13Those guys are on their way, and I'm just happy that I got to be a small part of it.
14:20It's time to hear from the legends, see which one of you will be moving on, and who will be going home.
14:32First off, y'all both stepped into that ring and were absolute warriors.
14:35You left it all on the mat, the heart, the hustle, it was all there from both of you, and you should both be so freaking proud of yourselves.
14:41My vote goes to my boy, Anthony Luke.
14:45I really want to see Anthony Luke get to the next level, but it's hard for me to put you in that position.
14:51I just can't give it to you. You gotta earn it.
14:53So my vote goes to Shiloh.
14:56It's legit a 50-50 to me.
14:59You both shined. You both got over.
15:02However, I have to give my vote to Shiloh just based on what he's done all season.
15:10Undertaker, who's going to Houston?
15:12I'm extremely proud of both of you guys.
15:15Anthony, I hope you understand this.
15:17My vote's going to go to Shiloh.
15:20But that match, congratulations to both of you.
15:25I thought this competition was to find the best wrestler.
15:31But clearly, it's not.
15:33Call me when you need me.
15:36That's my boy.
15:38He got over on the way up.
15:40Where was that all season long?
15:44Shiloh's a great performer, great superstar.
15:46He's going to be a top guy one day, but so am I, because we have that if factor.
15:50I'm very confident in myself.
15:52I know my abilities.
15:53I know what I bring to the table.
15:55You're going to see Anthony Luke again.
15:57For me to get that vote means a lot,
15:59and I'm ready to move on and take advantage of it.
16:06Now, it's a rematch of last season's verbal showdown
16:09between Pee Nasty and Zena Sterling.
16:12Penina, are you ready?
16:13Yep.
16:13Zena, are you ready?
16:14Yep.
16:15Let's get it on.
16:16Ring that bell!
16:16We're here again, Zena.
16:22So do you got some to say?
16:24Did you go ask your daddy, Big Bubba, what to say this time?
16:27Actually, this is the exact same as it was last season.
16:30Last season, I beat you.
16:32This season's a lot different, Zena.
16:33You forget who I am?
16:34I'm the new frontrunner.
16:36I will not only pin your ass, but put you in the body bag
16:40and take you to the finals with me so you can watch.
16:46I'll see you in the ring.
16:47I'll see you in the ring.
17:17We've seen the outbursts from Bubba to his coaches
17:24and to the rest of LFG.
17:26Good job.
17:26Good job.
17:27Good job.
17:28Now they're fighting for something.
17:30And they are fighting for something.
17:31They're fighting to keep their dream alive here tonight, JB.
17:34They certainly are, and we've seen Penina's grow throughout this.
17:37We've seen Zena Sterling continue to improve each and every week,
17:40but is it been enough?
17:42That's the question.
17:42And now, Penina seems to be the one to beat in this competition so far.
17:47That's an interesting stat that you just turned out there,
17:49that she's the one to beat.
17:51Do you really believe that?
17:53Well, Michelle McCool saw something in Penina from season one.
17:56Drafted her right out of the gate.
17:57Saw that potential.
17:59Will that potential be realized?
18:00Wow, look at these rides coming down from Zena Sterling.
18:02Wait a minute, what happened?
18:15Counter.
18:16What?
18:16Ow.
18:17Ow.
18:18She hooked the arm.
18:19Get the leg.
18:20It's just hard to see.
18:25Stop touching your shoulder.
18:27Oh, gosh, dang it.
18:33Are you serious right now?
18:34That looks like that was a little stiff right there.
18:37She might not be okay with that.
18:39Wait a minute!
18:40That didn't look like she called it.
18:42Bubba getting very vocal right now.
18:44Well, you know Bubba has a lot of alignment.
18:46Bubba's reputation on the line.
18:49Trying to get into a cover.
18:50Penina to the outside.
18:52Oh, look.
18:53She's going to get light for her.
18:54They can fix it.
18:58We got down.
18:59They can fix it.
19:00Get out there on the quick.
19:02We talk about the four legends that are here watching this matchup and everything they have on the line.
19:07We have to remember, though, it's one other legend.
19:09That being Shawn Michaels, who will award one male, one female, after the finals of LFG, a contract to be an NXT superstar.
19:22And we've seen the impact that last year's winners, Tyra Mae Steele and Jasper Troy, both have made on Tuesday nights.
19:29They certainly have.
19:30Tuesday nights and PLAs as well for premium live events.
19:34Both Tyra and Jasper Troy have made their presence known in NXT as a result of LFG.
19:39Just goes to show you how far this show can take you in terms of the NXT world.
19:45And getting there is going to be the big battle for these two.
19:49Oh, that's all on earth.
19:50Did she do anything?
19:52Why did she bump?
19:53Are you serious right now?
19:54Did she just take a bump?
19:56She didn't even take the freaking head.
19:57That was a great head bump.
19:58She took it by osmosis.
20:02She hit her with the head bump.
20:03No, no, it's called a ghost bump.
20:06The ghost bump.
20:08You scared of it?
20:10I don't see Casper out here, JB.
20:12I mean, that's obviously a big error from Xena Sterling in this matchup.
20:16And maybe the nerve is starting to get to her as we're getting into this match.
20:20Look, the expectations are high for Xena Sterling.
20:22No question about it.
20:23Bubba knows.
20:24Bubba knows Xena's his only chance.
20:26And right now, Hanina is taking it to Xena Sterling.
20:31And again, not about wins and losses.
20:34You got a smile come back.
20:35Xena has to impress.
20:39It's all about impressing the legends, impressing their coaches.
20:43And Xena, I don't want to jump to a conclusion,
20:46but might need to pull a rabbit out of a hat here
20:49in these next few minutes to really swing the momentum
20:52of this matchup back into her favor.
20:55Can't stop her before you do that.
21:03Aggression starting to boil out of Xena.
21:06Power through.
21:07Oh, that certainly was interesting for Xena.
21:22Coming right back in is Panina.
21:25What a matchup for these two.
21:27There is no tomorrow.
21:29I don't like this.
21:30One of these superstars' journeys comes to an end.
21:36What is going on?
21:37What does you mean, man?
21:41That was a baby splash.
21:51Ah, did you teach her that, Bubba?
22:01This has gone too long.
22:03It's falling apart.
22:04Bubba, did you teach her that smash?
22:08Big spear from Panina.
22:10That's way too long.
22:14And the fun and games, over.
22:19I don't think she was confident that Panina
22:21was going to catch her.
22:25Why would she do it?
22:26Then why would she do it?
22:28That didn't look good, though.
22:30Why would she do it, then?
22:31That was disappointing.
22:41I definitely think that it wasn't me and Xena's best match.
22:46You could tell she was nervous.
22:47I mean, she bumped before I even hit her with something.
22:51That's a big old flinch.
22:52That's literally what it is in real life.
22:55This is it, ladies.
22:56Only one of you can move on to the LFG Season 2 Finals.
23:02Bubba Ray, who is moving on?
23:05When a baseball team plays the New York Yankees,
23:08they play better because they're the Yankees.
23:11And when all you women wrestle Xena,
23:13you wrestle better because you're wrestling Xena.
23:17My vote goes to Xena.
23:19I wholeheartedly do not agree.
23:21Panina, you've been undeniably consistent
23:24throughout this entire competition.
23:26What you bring is different.
23:28It's unique.
23:29My vote is going to be nasty.
23:32I'm looking for who can go out there
23:34and feel what's going on in the middle of that ring.
23:38Give the people what they want.
23:40So my vote goes to Panina.
23:44Two votes for Panina.
23:46One vote for Xena.
23:49Taker, this comes down to you.
23:51If I'm going to be completely honest,
23:53there was some good,
23:54but there was some really, really bad.
23:57I have to look back at the season's body of work
24:01because no one stood out to me today.
24:04Panina, my vote's going to go towards you.
24:10Panina, congratulations.
24:11You're moving on to the LFG Finals.
24:19Thank you, guys.
24:21We did it.
24:22Another season.
24:23Of course, I have more to prove,
24:26but I know my potential
24:28and I know what I'm capable of at this moment.
24:31Thank you, Coach Bubba,
24:32for picking me as your first draft pick
24:34and always having my back.
24:36So thank you, guys.
24:43When Taker picked Panina,
24:45my heart just kind of sank.
24:47I felt frustration
24:48because it was so hard for me this season
24:51to prove what I'm capable of
24:53and put my best foot forward.
24:56Honestly, it's a good thing
24:58that I am going home
25:00because that gives me a lot more time
25:01to look in the mirror
25:02and focus on the things
25:03that I do have to work on.
25:05And I feel like
25:06that's just going to light that fire under me
25:08to prove to the Legends
25:10that they made the wrong choice
25:12of sending Xena home
25:13and I'm going to make it big one day.
25:18Be nasty.
25:19You made it to the finals.
25:21Do you have anything you want to say
25:22to the Legends?
25:23I don't have any doubt
25:24that I'm going to make you guys happy.
25:25Appreciate you guys for voting for me.
25:27Thank you, guys.
25:31I really was working hard for this
25:33on the offseason
25:34and I knew if I had another opportunity
25:36to come back for another LFG season,
25:38I was going to win the whole damn thing.
25:40Now, I just got one more match
25:41until I get that contract.
25:47Let's get it on.
25:48Bring that down.
25:51We go to Spitfires.
25:53Let's do this.
25:57I'm going to let you start.
25:58I bring out the best in you.
25:59I bring out the best in everybody.
26:01And what are you?
26:02You're just another girl
26:03with some pom-poms
26:04thinking a moonsault
26:05is going to land on her big dream.
26:08This ain't Disney, Danny.
26:10This is WWE.
26:11No, this is WWE.
26:14But what's successful in the WWE?
26:17What's actually even successful in Disney
26:19now that you mention it?
26:20A pretty blonde who knows
26:21what the she's got going on.
26:23You need to look at all that makeup you got on.
26:25It's going to end up
26:25on this damn canvas anyway.
26:27Nah, the carbon copy will be your face
26:28planted right here.
26:31I'm walking to the next round.
26:33Actually, right.
26:33Shut the f*** up
26:34with your corny-ass lines, Danny.
26:35Yeah?
26:36What?
26:37You want to talk about it?
26:38Let's talk about it.
26:39Your face will be the one on the canvas,
26:40not mine.
26:41Mwah.
26:42The playoffs continuing here on LFG.
26:54JB, one thing we can say here
26:56as the sands of time
26:58are running out on this season.
27:00There is a lot of attitude
27:02in that ring right now.
27:04Big four.
27:04Oh, yeah, that hurt.
27:06Oh, my gosh.
27:07Three, two, one.
27:08No bueno.
27:09No bueno on that.
27:15All right.
27:16This is a battle of The Undertaker
27:18versus Booker T.
27:19The pride and joy
27:21on the female side
27:22of both of these individuals
27:23going into battle here.
27:25Semi-finals, LFG.
27:27Best performance goes on
27:28to Houston next week
27:29in the finals.
27:31That's going to lead to skid, Mark.
27:33Very excited to see
27:34how this goes.
27:36Danny has been advised
27:37by The Undertaker
27:38to turn up the intensity,
27:40turn up the aggressiveness.
27:41You saw when she walked out
27:42through the curtain.
27:43You could see it in her face.
27:45She means business.
27:45She knows what's at stake.
27:47And she knows the opportunity
27:48that awaits her
27:49if she's able to get past
27:50Serena Linton
27:51in this round of the semifinals
27:53and on to the finals
27:54next week in Houston.
27:55It's anything to be said
27:56for Serena Linton.
27:56Look, Booker T,
27:58he wants his talent,
28:00those he coaches.
28:01He wants to repeat performance.
28:03He had Jasper Troy
28:03last year in Season 1.
28:06More for Booker,
28:06he wants to be acknowledged
28:08as the champion
28:09among the legends
28:09and the coaches,
28:10which that title
28:11certainly is around the waist
28:12or over the shoulder
28:13of The Undertaker.
28:15Certainly is.
28:16And as we see
28:17the progression
28:18of both of these individuals
28:19on the way,
28:20don't forget,
28:21there's so much at stake
28:22not only between these two,
28:23but of course,
28:24the legend as well.
28:25You don't get to be
28:25a hall of famer
28:26in this industry
28:27without being competitive.
28:29You can bet.
28:29Right now,
28:30Booker T is looking
28:31at his future
28:32and the success
28:34that he has provided
28:35through the coaching
28:35of Serena Linton
28:36at play here
28:37at stake
28:38in this matchup.
28:39Oh!
28:40Look at Linton
28:42with the offense.
28:44There's no way
28:45that looked like it hurt
28:45in any fashion.
28:46Nothing.
28:48At all.
28:50Into the cover,
28:51Bubba did not like
28:52what he saw
28:52Danny able to kick out.
28:55So far,
28:55it's been all
28:56Serena Linton so far.
28:57So impressive.
28:58Really coming to her own
28:59this season on LFG
29:00and certainly has
29:01a bright future,
29:02many say,
29:03in this industry.
29:05Okay.
29:06I'll take that.
29:07Acting, acting.
29:08Guys, dang it.
29:09Just do it.
29:11Feel this.
29:13Now it's The Undertaker
29:14with an uncomfortable look
29:15on his face
29:17as a little separation
29:18created in the center
29:19of the ring.
29:20Again,
29:20this is the last time
29:21these two can really
29:23showcase what they got
29:25because,
29:26as we've said earlier,
29:27no tomorrow.
29:28This is the end of it.
29:29If you don't survive tonight,
29:31if you don't make it
29:31to the finals,
29:32your journey comes to an end
29:34here in season two
29:35as Danny now
29:37starting to apply
29:37the pressure offensively.
29:39Bob, you're a heel.
29:41What do you tear?
29:44Oh!
29:45There you go.
29:46Whoa, whoa, whoa.
29:47Taking her down.
29:48Feet on the ropes.
29:49That certainly is a heel tactic.
29:51Nice job by our official,
29:52though,
29:53here on LFG.
29:54But wait a minute.
29:54Danny from behind.
29:56Cover and some tights.
29:59Tip for tat.
30:00I like that.
30:02Danny showing she can
30:04play at that level
30:05if need be.
30:07Oh!
30:08Crash and burn for a moment.
30:10And then from behind,
30:11big clubby clothesline
30:13to the back of the neck.
30:16Serena Litton
30:17with an incredible
30:18gymnastics background
30:19we've seen her do things
30:20from the top before.
30:21What's she have in store now?
30:23Looking for that 450,
30:25able to roll right through,
30:26come right back in again.
30:27You talk about gymnastics,
30:28tumbling, cheerleading,
30:29both of these women.
30:30Such natural,
30:31athletic-giving athletes.
30:33And now turning around,
30:34looking for a submission.
30:35Hell's Gate locked in.
30:37And Danny,
30:38trying to get Serena to tap.
30:39And she does.
30:42Big win.
30:45Here is your winner
30:46by submission,
30:47Danny Chukoski.
30:52A little extra
30:53at the end.
30:55Danny with a victory.
30:56But is it enough
30:57to move on?
31:05Ladies,
31:07Danny,
31:08Serena,
31:09one of you
31:11will be moving on
31:12to the finals
31:13next week in Houston.
31:14And one of you
31:15will be going home.
31:18Booker T,
31:19who's moving on
31:20to the finals?
31:21Oh, hell.
31:22It's simple.
31:23As far as I'm concerned,
31:24who has grown the most?
31:27That's my question.
31:28And I think the answer
31:29is Serena.
31:32Okay.
31:32Miss McCool,
31:34who's going to Houston?
31:35First off,
31:36y'all both look beautiful.
31:37Your gear,
31:38I love it,
31:39both of you.
31:40I do agree
31:40with what Booker said
31:41as far as growth.
31:42Serena,
31:43night and day,
31:44you know,
31:44where you started
31:45to where you've come from.
31:46Danny,
31:46a ton of growth too.
31:47I think you've just
31:48been more consistent.
31:49My gut says Danny.
31:52You guys have fought
31:53hard to get to this point.
31:55And my expectations,
31:57whoever moves on,
31:58is extremely high.
32:00My vote has to go
32:01for Danny.
32:02I think you're
32:03in a better position
32:04to win at this point.
32:07That's two votes
32:09for Danny.
32:10Bubba Ray,
32:11who's going to the finale?
32:14It doesn't matter
32:15what you did
32:15in the regular season.
32:16It matters
32:16what you did tonight.
32:19And tonight,
32:20for me personally,
32:22is who catches my eye,
32:24who resonates with me,
32:25and who outperforms
32:27the other.
32:28I give my vote
32:29to Danny.
32:32All right.
32:34Danny,
32:34congratulations.
32:36You're going on
32:36to the LFG finals
32:38next week in Houston.
32:40Serena,
32:41thank you.
32:42Best of luck.
32:43I am grateful,
32:46and I am blessed.
32:47Regardless of the outcome
32:49of this competition,
32:50I do know that
32:51that doesn't define me.
32:53Wherever I go,
32:54whatever Serena does,
32:55I make it better.
32:56I know in my heart
32:57who the true champion is,
32:58and I know regardless,
33:00I am undeniable.
33:04Danny,
33:04anything you want to say?
33:06Something that stuck
33:07with me early on
33:08in this competition
33:09was that
33:10Bubba looked at me
33:11and said,
33:12we have confidence in you,
33:14and that's something
33:15that you're lacking
33:16in yourself.
33:17It was the truest thing
33:18I heard
33:19all season long,
33:20and I can tell you
33:21with this groove
33:22that I've been in
33:22the last few weeks,
33:23I've found me.
33:24All of season one,
33:28all of us
33:29sat in front of this camera
33:30saying,
33:31I'm gonna win.
33:33The only difference now
33:34is that I believe it.
33:43Marlum, are you ready?
33:45Drake, are you ready?
33:46Get it on!
33:47Bring that bow!
33:48Here we go, baby.
33:51I just thought it'd be intense.
33:53Respectfully,
33:54I don't know much about you.
33:57You were on the show
33:57last season,
33:58so you already had
33:59a chance to win it.
34:01And now you're bringing you
34:01back as some kind of
34:02underdog, right?
34:03You get another chance
34:03to win it.
34:03So what,
34:03you get three chances
34:04to win it?
34:05You need the handouts.
34:06I've never taken a handout
34:06in my life.
34:08But you take as many
34:08as you want.
34:09You don't belong here
34:10and you don't deserve
34:11to be here.
34:11You've already learned
34:12that twice.
34:13I'm gonna make you
34:13learn a third time now.
34:15I was given this opportunity,
34:18but I'm gonna take it.
34:20This ain't no comeback story.
34:21This ain't no feel-good story.
34:23I'm gonna step into this ring.
34:24And I'm gonna dog walk
34:25your ass.
34:26You're gonna be looking up
34:27at me from the mat
34:28with that ref raising my hand.
34:30And I'm moving on
34:31to the finals.
34:32And they're sending
34:33your fake tough ass home.
34:35We're gonna see about that.
34:37I'll chop this
34:38tree down.
34:40We'll see who's looking
34:41at the lights.
34:42Let's see.
34:42It's time to see how things
34:47shake out on the men's side
34:49on LFG.
34:50For the Bayou boy
34:51going in here against
34:53Harlem Lewis.
34:55Fasten your seatbelts
34:56for this one.
34:57When it comes to the
34:58men's side of things
34:59all season long,
35:00there has just been this
35:01groundswell of anger.
35:04JV, they just don't
35:05like each other.
35:06No love lost
35:07between these guys.
35:08No doubt about it.
35:08But the competition
35:09is fierce.
35:10They know what's at stake.
35:11Drake Moreau,
35:12again, a rollercoaster
35:13ride this season.
35:14Now ending up on
35:15Team Bubba Ray
35:16in there against
35:18Harlem Lewis.
35:19Now imagine this.
35:20Imagine Harlem Lewis,
35:22of course,
35:23representing Team Booker.
35:24Imagine Booker G
35:25going into his hometown
35:26of Houston
35:26with representation
35:29in the finals.
35:30You know he's going
35:31to be a man
35:31who's looking to
35:32showcase what his
35:33guys can do in the
35:34ring.
35:35It's male,
35:35it's female,
35:36but also his own
35:38job as a coach.
35:39He's got, of course,
35:40a very successful
35:41wrestling promotion
35:42in Houston.
35:43How much would he
35:43pay you to say that?
35:44I'm speaking facts.
35:45That's all I'm doing.
35:46Well, look,
35:47here on LFG,
35:47you think about the
35:48women,
35:48you think about the
35:49men.
35:49This is a big
35:49night champion.
35:50This is a big
35:51moment for all these
35:53men and women
35:54because this is it.
35:57There's no tomorrow.
35:58They worked so hard
35:59to get to this point.
36:00Can they put it
36:01all together?
36:01Can they keep their
36:02emotions checked?
36:03Can they work with
36:04one another?
36:05I mean,
36:05those are all the
36:06questions we've had
36:07this season at
36:08different points,
36:09whether it's been
36:09the men or the
36:10women.
36:11Question of who's
36:11ready.
36:12Who's ready to take
36:13that next step in
36:14the eyes of the
36:14Heartbreak Kid
36:15Shawn Michaels?
36:15Who's ready for
36:16the NXT roster?
36:17Who's ready to join
36:18the ranks in
36:18Jasper Troy and
36:19Tyra Mae Steele as
36:21season winners of
36:22LFG?
36:23Drake Moreau.
36:24Big splash.
36:25Cover.
36:28Might be Marlon
36:29pulling him down
36:30out of him,
36:30but this is the best
36:31Drake's look.
36:31Oh, yeah.
36:34Drake right back on
36:35top.
36:36It has been a little
36:37shaky ground,
36:39so to speak,
36:40very unsettled
36:41ground, I should say,
36:42for Drake.
36:42But I believe that
36:43his ability to handle
36:45it well shows that he
36:47does have the ability
36:48to adapt, which we've
36:49heard from the coaches
36:50all season long.
36:51If you want to be a
36:52superstar, not just on
36:53NXT Raw and SmackDown,
36:54you have to be able to
36:56adapt to the cards that
36:57are handed to you.
36:58And certainly, I think
36:59Harlem Lewis is trying to
37:00adapt to that big boot
37:01to the mush.
37:02Oh!
37:06Oh, no!
37:07Nasty spill.
37:13Down him!
37:15You can tell Booker T
37:16loves the fact that
37:16Harlem Lewis is just a
37:18bad man.
37:20Goes in there, no
37:20nonsense, smash mouth
37:21offense, and I mean,
37:23the way Booker has
37:24coached him through this
37:25season has been something
37:25to watch.
37:26There's no question about
37:27it.
37:27I mean, who can forget
37:28what he told him to
37:28throw a little extra,
37:30take a little, take
37:31things to a little
37:32further extreme going
37:33back a couple weeks.
37:34I think the word The
37:36Undertaker used several
37:37weeks ago was
37:38liberties.
37:39There's a neckbreaker
37:40right there, hanging
37:41style to the floor.
37:52Season two coming to an
37:54end, the finals right
37:55around the corner.
37:57It's not about wins and
37:57losses, it's about
37:58impressing the coaches,
38:00impressing the legends,
38:01keeping your dream alive
38:03for one more week as
38:05these two are in here
38:06right now, throwing
38:07hands, Lewis and the
38:09Bayou boy answering
38:10back with a ring.
38:12Fouled up with another
38:13one.
38:16And you can feel the
38:18winds of change for a
38:19moment starting to move
38:22a different direction
38:22into Harlem.
38:23Lewis just slammed the
38:24door shut.
38:25I spoke too soon once
38:26again, and right now
38:28we're seeing a little
38:29bit of a comeback, if
38:30you will.
38:36A little hokey on the
38:37make up for it.
38:40Boom, there you go.
38:44Fire it up!
38:46And we've seen a more
38:47intense track for all the
38:48season, there's no
38:49question about it.
38:50Everything that he's been
38:51through and realizing the
38:52coaching put forth by the
38:53Undertaker for the most
38:55part of the season, now
38:56Bubba Ray, it's intensity
38:57that seems to be working.
38:59Big Discus.
39:00Nice!
39:02Shades of the late, great
39:04Kerry Bonner!
39:06Nice!
39:07The Big Discus clothes
39:09locked!
39:11That first you don't
39:12succeed.
39:13Try again.
39:15Massive choke slam.
39:17One, two, three, and a
39:18massive statement made.
39:20Here's your winner, Drake
39:25Moreau!
39:27That was a good show
39:28in by both of them.
39:29I think he's a good
39:30mixture of both.
39:32Of heel baby?
39:33No, of the entertaining
39:35guy and the serious guy.
39:37Yeah, yeah, yeah.
39:39Big win for Drake Moreau.
39:41But was it enough?
39:42Harlem, Drake, this is it
39:51guys.
39:53Bubba Ray Dudley, who's
39:54going to Houston?
39:56Drake, season one, put
39:57some entertainment value
39:58in you.
40:00Season two, the dead man
40:01saw the killer in you.
40:03And tonight, I saw that
40:05all come together.
40:07Drake, you get my vote.
40:09Undertaker.
40:10Dude, you guys went
40:12blow for blow, man.
40:13Drake, you get my vote.
40:15Man, that's two votes
40:17for Drake.
40:18Booker T.
40:20Harlem's job tonight was
40:21to go out there and make
40:22this man look the best he
40:23possibly could look in the
40:25middle of that damn
40:25ring, and he did that.
40:27This man, this man.
40:30Harlem Lewis, you got my
40:32damn vote.
40:33Michelle, this comes down
40:35to you.
40:36Harlem, I think the best
40:38way to describe you is
40:39credible.
40:39Drake, I've loved watching
40:42you from day one.
40:42So with that being said,
40:45and getting straight to it,
40:46my vote goes to Harlem.
40:49Harlem.
40:50Okay.
40:53Okay, so we have two for
40:55Drake and two for Harlem.
40:59I mean, I'm taking nothing
41:01away from Drake.
41:02Drake did a hell of a job.
41:04Drake, you did a hell of a
41:05job.
41:05But I'm going to ask you the
41:07question.
41:08How much did Harlem help you
41:10in that matchup right there?
41:12And let's just be honest.
41:13How much did Harlem help you
41:14as far as making sure you was
41:16in the right place at the
41:17right time in that match?
41:18What kind of question is that?
41:19What kind of question is that?
41:20What kind of question is that?
41:22What kind of question is that?
41:22It's an honest question.
41:24I don't think he helped me at all.
41:25I think we were both, we both
41:27understood the assignment and what
41:28needed to be done.
41:28You lead Drake through that
41:31match and Drake say he didn't
41:33need you.
41:34What are you going to say
41:35then?
41:35He didn't say he didn't need
41:37him.
41:37That's what he just said.
41:39What are you going to say?
41:39He said that they both
41:41understood the assignment and
41:42they did it.
41:43But he didn't help him at all.
41:44He did.
41:45That's what he said.
41:45He said he did not help him
41:47at all.
41:48Did he help you?
41:48That's what he just said.
41:49Harlem, okay.
41:50Tell me how you helped Drake
41:51tonight.
41:52How I helped him?
41:53Yeah.
41:53What did you do for him that
41:55led to two votes?
41:56I'm going to leave it on you
41:57guys.
41:57I'm not going to answer
41:58respectfully as well.
41:59You should.
41:59That's the right answer.
42:01All right, guys.
42:01There's one person who can
42:04decide.
42:04Ain't nobody changing their
42:05damn votes.
42:06So now HBK, Shawn Michaels
42:10is going to have to be the
42:12deciding factor here.
42:13next time on LFG.
42:27I have two votes for you.
42:30I have two votes for you,
42:30Drake.
42:31It comes down to me to make
42:32the final decision.
42:33You need to wrestle like your
42:35careers depend on it.
42:37Is it me?
42:37Is it Harlem?
42:38I just want to know.
42:39Sean's going to make the right
42:40decision.
42:41Oh, my goodness.
42:43Depending on how finals go,
42:45it kind of determines whether
42:46the whole season was worth it.
42:48I am the one to beat.
42:50P. Nasty was bound to make it
42:51to the final.
42:52Everything was stacked against
42:54me.
42:54I never was the underdog.
42:55I just needed that extra push.
42:57We're at the end of the road
42:58or the beginning of the road,
43:00depending on how you want to
43:00look at it.
43:02The winner of this year's LFG
43:04is...
