00:00:00You'll be broken up into teams of four, each coached by a WWE legend.
00:00:05From this point forward, you will earn every last thing you get.
00:00:10One man and one woman will get an opportunity to move up in WWE's developmental system.
00:00:22I don't understand the smirk, the constant smirk on the face is weird to me.
00:00:27I don't get it.
00:00:29The reality is, I just want to win this thing.
00:00:34I need a little more intensity out of you to show a little bit more of who you are.
00:00:41Sometimes star power trumps work in the ring.
00:00:45So I'm going to go Troy Herewood.
00:00:49I didn't come here to be the biggest star.
00:00:53I came here to be the best.
00:00:56Lee, you're my pick.
00:00:59So congratulations.
00:01:01Right now, what I'm building is going to be something special.
00:01:06To walk away tied with Book, I'm excited.
00:01:14It's week three of our competition, and the four teams are battling it out.
00:01:19Good job last week.
00:01:20Yes, got us a point.
00:01:22Got us a point.
00:01:23At stake for the legends, being crowned the first ever LFG champion.
00:01:27This, it's got to be off to the side.
00:01:30It's a whole lot goes involved with making that look proper.
00:01:34It's a start of a new week.
00:01:35I'm just looking for new opportunities to show that I've been taking everything that Booker
00:01:39T is showing us in practice and applying that to the matches.
00:01:45And for the future greats, a coveted NXT contract.
00:01:51You haven't had a match yet.
00:01:53I won my chance at a match.
00:01:55How are you earning your chance at a match?
00:01:58Whatever we got in store today, I got to do my best to earn it.
00:02:01Because last week, I blew it.
00:02:03Your personality has to come through.
00:02:05And like I said, I don't know how much personality lies in there.
00:02:09And if you're hiding it, you're not doing anybody any good.
00:02:12Like, if you're some big goof, I want to see big goof.
00:02:17You're shaking your head yes.
00:02:18You've seen this?
00:02:19Oh, yeah.
00:02:19He's got his own dance.
00:02:21He goes like this.
00:02:26He has his own dance.
00:02:28Yeah.
00:02:29Back up.
00:02:30No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:02:32Wait, Amy has...
00:02:33She goes out in the ring.
00:02:33No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:02:35You don't ever tell me no.
00:02:37Back up.
00:02:38Come on.
00:02:38Let me see the Bayou boogie.
00:02:39Come on.
00:02:41There's 20,000 people here.
00:02:42Let me see the Bayou boogie.
00:02:43I got to warm up.
00:02:43Come on.
00:02:44Slap him.
00:02:45Yep, slap him.
00:02:45Get him going.
00:02:46Yeah, yep.
00:02:47The Bayou boogie.
00:02:48Come on.
00:02:48Can you do the Bayou boogie better than he does the Bayou boogie?
00:02:52Let me see.
00:02:52Yeah, let me see.
00:02:54One, two, three.
00:02:55Do the Bayou boogie.
00:02:56Do the Bayou boogie.
00:02:57Head, head.
00:02:58Come on.
00:02:58Yeah, they're not the shoulders.
00:03:00Come on.
00:03:00There you go.
00:03:01Shake your shoulders.
00:03:01Yep, yep.
00:03:02Yep, there you go.
00:03:03Swing it.
00:03:04Yep.
00:03:05Notice how they're all sitting around there talking.
00:03:08You're going to bring a block and then a tackle drop down.
00:03:12And then you hit call and grab the arm bar.
00:03:14We'll get it again, brother.
00:03:15None of that s**t works.
00:03:17The Bayou boogie.
00:03:23Oh, come on.
00:03:26Talk to him.
00:03:27Let's go.
00:03:28Welcome to the ultimate proving draft.
00:03:3216 future greats.
00:03:34Let's go.
00:03:34When they asked you to be the best, will they match you?
00:03:37Let's go.
00:03:38Four legends.
00:03:40He is the epitome of WrestleMania.
00:03:43I have broke down barriers for women.
00:03:46Be mine at the table.
00:03:49Can't you dig that sucker?
00:03:52A chance to win an NXT contract.
00:03:57Every legend has a first chapter.
00:04:00And the future starts now.
00:04:02It's a great deal.
00:04:03It's a great deal.
00:04:03It's a great deal.
00:04:04It's a great deal.
00:04:04It's a great deal.
00:04:05It's a great deal.
00:04:08The Rock just wants to know exactly who it is you had in mind for his opponents.
00:04:15I'll tell you, Rock.
00:04:15It doesn't matter who you had in mind.
00:04:18You better remember, I've had chunks of guys bigger than you in my stool.
00:04:25A WWE superstar has to connect with the audience.
00:04:29Practicing promos and being comfortable speaking is just as, if not more important than having
00:04:36the ability to walk up and be physical with your opponent, you people are nothing but lower-class pieces of
00:04:46garbage.
00:04:48Trash talking has been an important part of professional wrestling since the day pro wrestling was invented.
00:04:54Somebody's got to stir the crowd up.
00:04:56Cutting promos is one of the most important aspects of sports entertainment.
00:05:02Talk about John 316.
00:05:05Austin 316 says I just whipped your ass.
00:05:10It's a vital part of your development.
00:05:14But before the future greats can focus on their promo skills, Shawn Michaels has called them together to make an
00:05:20important announcement.
00:05:21Hello, everybody.
00:05:22Good morning.
00:05:23Hello, everyone.
00:05:25How y'all doing?
00:05:27Legends.
00:05:28And, of course, the future greats.
00:05:30I want to have an opportunity here, obviously, to speak to everyone.
00:05:32But first, I want to let B.J. Ray update everybody on what's going on.
00:05:37Yeah, so, unfortunately, this past weekend when I was working on one of the live shows, I abstained an injury
00:05:44to my shoulder.
00:05:47We have the opportunity to travel all around Florida on the weekends.
00:05:51And put on shows.
00:05:53That's their opportunity when they get to get up in front of the crowds, in front of the fans, and
00:05:58showcase what they practiced all week.
00:06:02And, unfortunately, B.J. was injured during one of his live event matches.
00:06:07And, hopefully, it's not too bad.
00:06:10There's no tell on how long I'm going to be out for.
00:06:12I know a lot of you might be happy or concerned.
00:06:17The number one spot just opened up.
00:06:19Don't get too comfortable.
00:06:20It's not over until the fat lady sings.
00:06:22And I'm going to be working hard to get back in here.
00:06:26Unfortunately, you are out.
00:06:28And that means that there is a space available.
00:06:32What we're going to do is we're going to have a tag team match with four other individuals.
00:06:40And, obviously, all of you legends will have a say in this.
00:06:45But, ultimately, Bubba, this is a space on your team that needs to be filled.
00:06:50So, the final decision will come down to you.
00:06:53This is a big deal to us because this is somebody that's going to come in and be on our
00:06:56team with us and represent Team Bubba and could have opportunity to earn us points or maybe not earn us
00:07:03points.
00:07:05Somebody has a huge opportunity.
00:07:08All right?
00:07:09So, let's go.
00:07:11All right?
00:07:16BJ is banged up.
00:07:18I care, but I can only care so much.
00:07:21This industry is very difficult and it's very physical.
00:07:26And injuries happen all the time.
00:07:29All I can do is listen to BJ and give him the best advice I can.
00:07:34Go home, rest up, live to fight another day.
00:07:38It's the prognosis.
00:07:39Do they tell you exactly what's wrong with it?
00:07:41We don't know.
00:07:41We're just, I got my MRI this morning and they're just waiting on the results.
00:07:44Okay, well, here's the cliche.
00:07:45Everything happens for a reason.
00:07:47I have seen plenty of talents, young and old, get injured at the most inopportune times.
00:07:54And, at that moment, it seems like the absolute worst time in the world to get hurt.
00:07:59But, somehow, when they come back, it seems like that time to get hurt was actually the best time to
00:08:08get hurt.
00:08:08I did want some input from him.
00:08:10Hopefully, his injury isn't that bad and he'll be back as soon as possible.
00:08:14Would you like to help me find your replacement on the team?
00:08:22Well, at first, out of my head, obviously.
00:08:24That sucks, but yes, for the sake of the team, I'm a team player.
00:08:28I'll do it.
00:08:29Well, if I have to go, if there's no other option, if I can help, on my opinion, give Bubba
00:08:34the best piece of advice, I'm going to do so.
00:08:37Okay.
00:08:38Sounds good.
00:08:39Thank you, Coach.
00:08:43The following contest is a showcase tag team match scheduled for one call.
00:08:52Introducing first, the team of Josh Black and Drake Scar.
00:09:05All right, generic guy, black hat, Drake Scarks.
00:09:12This big kid with a look is Josh Black.
00:09:18Big Joseph, JB, ringside, and Jeremy seems Bubba's impressed with at least half this duo.
00:09:23Well, certainly getting to see them for the first time.
00:09:26Bubba has so much invested in this, so much on the line in this showcase match.
00:09:30And your opponents, the team of Chase Hatch and Cutler James.
00:09:41I like cowboy hat.
00:09:43Hatch already appealing to Mickie James, known for her own hardcore country style.
00:09:49Certainly is.
00:09:50And how about Cutler James stepping in the ring as well?
00:09:53I think I know who Mickie's going to pick.
00:09:56Get him on up, get him on out.
00:09:58I think the cowboy hat, get him for you, Mickie.
00:10:01I'm not sure about those chaps, though.
00:10:05Could have been worse.
00:10:07They could have been assless.
00:10:10I think you got a few pairs of those, don't you, JB, in the closet?
00:10:14Well, certainly, that's why I'm going to stick to commentary, not on camera.
00:10:17Well, joking aside, four athletes getting a huge opportunity.
00:10:20One big decision, though, for Bubba Ray Dunn.
00:10:23Such a big decision, obviously, in the wake of B.J. Ray coming to this injury.
00:10:28Now the opportunity is there for these four individuals to stand out.
00:10:32Kid that just got tagged in as a big shooter.
00:10:40Yep, big shooter from Duke.
00:10:43Big shooter, indeed.
00:10:44That is Cutler James' ACC standout as an amateur wrestler.
00:10:48Which, only enough, a former teammate at Duke with B.J. Ray.
00:10:52These two are actually very familiar with each other.
00:10:55There's a lot to like when you take a look at Cutler James.
00:10:59So far, these guys have been impressive, and they were four of the guys that didn't get picked.
00:11:03Yeah, that's what I was thinking.
00:11:05That's quite some praise, is it, Matt?
00:11:07Well, it certainly is some praise, and these four individuals have all about a year of experience in the ring,
00:11:13and I think that's going to show here in this showcase match.
00:11:16We need to get some muscle in the ring, all right?
00:11:19They might be saving Big Josh Black for the hot tag.
00:11:24Who are we to debate with Booker and Bubba when it comes to tag team philosophy?
00:11:28Well, certainly, if you're looking at that opportunity for Josh Black to get in the ring
00:11:31and showcase what he's about to do, Cutler James throwing the elbow, making the tag,
00:11:35pace hatch, and the tag team certainly gelling well so far in this match.
00:11:40Yeah, there's Hatch, former fullback, Arizona State, helped lay the foundation for the Sun Devils,
00:11:44who obviously got in the last year's college football playoff.
00:11:47But Cutler and Hatch, they're making the most of their time right now here on LFG.
00:11:52They could have built that bigger.
00:11:54They could have built that bigger.
00:11:57Oh, no.
00:11:58Well, you know, all that anticipation for Black, it seems the air's kind of been let out here, so to
00:12:03speak.
00:12:04What just...
00:12:12Oh, yeah, man.
00:12:14Oh, yeah.
00:12:14I like that.
00:12:16What are you doing?
00:12:18Oh, oh, oh, oh, this is all the fire.
00:12:25Yes, you are going to have me, okay, so what are you doing up here with us?
00:12:28It doesn't take long for me to recognize talent.
00:12:30There's a part of me that felt like talent, you know, this is where the legends sit.
00:12:33So why wouldn't I be up there?
00:12:37You think it's a smart idea if you just come up here, especially with who I'm sitting next to,
00:12:42and just put your two cents in?
00:12:48No.
00:12:50Fair enough.
00:12:51You're trying to help, and we discussed this earlier.
00:12:53We'll sit over there and help from a distance.
00:12:57That was the outspoken Ray who was part of Bubba's team.
00:13:01Well, certainly D.J. Ray taking the pot himself to maybe help Bubba with the selection process
00:13:06as one of these four individuals will be the next member of Team Bubba Ray Dudley.
00:13:11Nice duplex by Starks and a kick out by a hat.
00:13:20Bubba, I think that's the guy.
00:13:22The big man, Josh Black?
00:13:24Yeah.
00:13:25You pick Josh Black?
00:13:25That's the guy.
00:13:26That means he's your least favorite.
00:13:30Well, there's Booker being Booker.
00:13:31But look, when it comes to Black, he's a former New Orleans Saint who just tagged out.
00:13:37Starks is legal, but Hatch does the same.
00:13:39And back in come big Cutler James, who is swinging J.B. for the fence.
00:13:45Well, certainly an impressive physicality, impressive individual from Cutler James.
00:13:51Wow.
00:13:52Double clothesline, and wow.
00:13:54Already, Cutler James making a statement, and he has to be thinking,
00:13:57Bubba Ray's got to pick me.
00:13:59I got this opportunity.
00:14:00I'm going to make the festival.
00:14:02Now, just think about this right now.
00:14:04How impressive has Cutler James been?
00:14:07The strength and the planning start.
00:14:09Center of the ring, floating over, and just like that, this matchup's over.
00:14:15Here are your winners, the team of, Kate Pets, and Cutler James.
00:14:23Talk to me about this guy.
00:14:25Another guy, he's a teammate of mine.
00:14:29He's pretty successful for the more experienced guys out there.
00:14:33What if I told you he was the standout to me so far?
00:14:37I definitely disagree.
00:14:39Goodbye.
00:14:41I thought all four guys did a good job in that tag team match.
00:14:45As a matter of fact, I'm saying to myself, wow, I wonder why these four guys didn't make it.
00:14:52Coming up on Legends and Future Greats.
00:14:55Bubba Ray, it's up to you.
00:14:57You got the spot.
00:15:01You doing that janky one-two step, shaking them pom-poms,
00:15:04ain't going to help you in no real street fight?
00:15:07Whoa.
00:15:08They can talk the talk, but can they walk the walk?
00:15:13Oh, yeah.
00:15:15Oh.
00:15:17Oh.
00:15:18Look at that.
00:15:18Crap.
00:15:19Shut it down.
00:15:20He's hurt.
00:15:21Shut it down.
00:15:22Oh, my God.
00:15:25After the tag team tryout match, the four hopefuls face the judges.
00:15:29We'll find out which of them will be joining LFG for a chance at an NXT contract.
00:15:35All right.
00:15:36Bubba Ray Dudley, obviously, you have a big decision to make here today.
00:15:39Hold on one second.
00:15:40Come here.
00:15:41Oh.
00:15:41Come on.
00:15:42You know this guy?
00:15:44This guy?
00:15:45You know this guy?
00:15:46Yes or no?
00:15:46Just a yes or no?
00:15:47Yes.
00:15:47Yeah.
00:15:48Do you like him?
00:15:49I don't know.
00:15:50He has a say in your destiny.
00:15:56How do you feel about that?
00:15:59You didn't like what I just had to say.
00:16:01Why?
00:16:02PJ and I have history.
00:16:03What history?
00:16:05Well, went to the same school.
00:16:06He was a slack ass on the team.
00:16:08And we got into it here a little bit as well.
00:16:12You got into it here?
00:16:13That's right.
00:16:13Cutler's not the guy.
00:16:14And as you guys know, I don't sugarcoat anything.
00:16:16The guy is drier than a bone, has no personality.
00:16:23I want what's best for my team.
00:16:24And I know what's best for my team was Drake Starks.
00:16:28What's your choice?
00:16:31I like Cowboy and Drake.
00:16:34I think that's the best two options.
00:16:35I'll just have a little bit more.
00:16:36You think that's in the best interest of the team?
00:16:38100%.
00:16:42Cutler, you got the spot.
00:16:51As soon as I'm trying to give the guy a piece of advice,
00:16:53dude just steers me away and goes, all right, Cutler, you're our choice.
00:16:56So I'm like, dude, what was the point in even asking me to help you?
00:17:01I'm excited to work with Bubba Wright.
00:17:03It's interesting because he was, I'm replacing BJ.
00:17:05And I think BJ and I are like polar opposites.
00:17:08And they seem to have a good connection, the two of them.
00:17:11So I'm curious how I'll fit into that dynamic.
00:17:15I know what I like when I like it.
00:17:17And there was something about Cutler.
00:17:20I liked his fire.
00:17:22He obviously looks the part.
00:17:25I'm going to dive into his soul and see if we can pull it out of him.
00:17:30When he finds out that he made the wrong choice with Cutler James,
00:17:34I cannot wait to look Bubba in his face and tell him, I told you so.
00:17:41With Team Bubba now back to being a full squad,
00:17:44the legends and future greats return to the PC gym to once again meet with Shawn Michaels.
00:17:49All right, Bubba, congratulations on your new team member.
00:17:53All right.
00:17:54Now, down to business.
00:17:56A lot of what you've been doing is working on that performance in the ring.
00:18:02A very important part of this business is talking them into the building.
00:18:08All right.
00:18:09What we call cutting a promo.
00:18:11All right.
00:18:11Do you know what I'm saying?
00:18:14Do you know?
00:18:16Oh, you didn't know?
00:18:19Your ass should have called somebody.
00:18:21Make a hole and make it wide.
00:18:22I don't plan on cutting my stride.
00:18:26A master of the microphone, road dog Jesse James was a staple of WWE's Attitude Era.
00:18:33Oh, you didn't know?
00:18:34You better call somebody.
00:18:38Welcome to the dog house.
00:18:40Here we do it doggy style.
00:18:44With his sharp tongue and comedic time.
00:18:47There's a human.
00:18:48Oh, no, no, no.
00:18:49That's a hot dog.
00:18:49Half a hot dog.
00:18:50This WWE Hall of Famer entertained audiences for years.
00:18:55With success both in front of and behind the camera, James is now a leader backstage at WWE.
00:19:02Where he previously led the SmackDown creative team and now focuses on building future stars.
00:19:10Now, you know me.
00:19:11Me, that D to the O to the double G.
00:19:13The OG MC.
00:19:14And not just here at the PC, but all over the W-O-R-L-D.
00:19:18You feel me?
00:19:19I said, do you feel me?
00:19:21I don't think you heard me.
00:19:22I said, do you feel me?
00:19:25Now, have I got your attention?
00:19:28I put on a little weight, but it's just water retention.
00:19:30You feel me?
00:19:31Road dog is the man.
00:19:32Walked straight in, dropped like four bars off the top of his head.
00:19:36I'm excited to get to work with road dog, and I hope I can one day talk as good as
00:19:39he does.
00:19:41You're learning a lot about the physical aspect of the game.
00:19:44But what I'm here to talk to you about is the verbal aspect of the game.
00:19:49We can't just show up on TV and punch each other in the face every week, because that's going to
00:19:52get redundant and it's going to get old.
00:19:54And then the punches are not going to mean anything.
00:19:56So we have to be able to talk them in, as I like to say, and that's talk them into
00:20:01buying a ticket to that venue to see that match.
00:20:05You know what I mean?
00:20:05Here's one important lesson that I want you to think about.
00:20:09You have to believe the words coming out of your mouth, because if you don't believe them, I don't believe
00:20:15them.
00:20:15And so they have to be true to you.
00:20:17And while they don't have to be real, you have to really believe them.
00:20:22You know what I mean?
00:20:23If that makes sense.
00:20:24That brings me to the next point, talking trash.
00:20:27Like who in here?
00:20:29Because you've got to talk some trash.
00:20:31You've got to be able to talk some trash.
00:20:33So, Shiloh Hill, if you had to talk some trash, who would you talk it to and what would you
00:20:39say?
00:20:41It's scary, you know, because I would want to pick Chris Island, but I feel like he's kind of got
00:20:46an unfair advantage with all that extra memory and that big old head of his.
00:20:51For real, bro.
00:20:52Chris Island, when he looks at us.
00:20:54Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:20:56We're going to do it like that?
00:20:57We're going to say he's doing it.
00:20:59We're going to do it like that?
00:21:01Hey, hey, hey.
00:21:01Hey, don't bite off more than you can chew, my guy.
00:21:04Don't do that.
00:21:05Don't do that.
00:21:06We can't do this sitting down, so let's stand up.
00:21:10We're going to do a promo battle now and let's see who comes out on top of that one.
00:21:14Come on up.
00:21:15Back up.
00:21:16Back up a little bit.
00:21:17Back up a little bit.
00:21:20Hogan versus the Ultimate Warrior.
00:21:22I never had any doubt that I could be the best in the business.
00:21:25Hank Hogan had been on top.
00:21:27He had to be replaced.
00:21:29WWE Rivals.
00:21:32After a lesson in trash talking, the future greats square off in a roast battle to determine
00:21:37tonight's matches.
00:21:40Guys, we talked about the cerebral and the verbal aspect of this game.
00:21:45Some of that is trash talking.
00:21:47Trash talking.
00:21:48We're going to get into it here.
00:21:49Shiloh Hill and Chris Island.
00:21:53Dog come in and he's setting the tone.
00:21:56He's demonstrating exactly what he wants us to show.
00:22:00So, it was just game for me to suck up and I loved all of it.
00:22:05My name is Chris Island.
00:22:06Just turned 22.
00:22:08I'm from the Bay Area.
00:22:09I'm just a Cali kid, man.
00:22:10I definitely have a lot of inspiration, but there's nobody like me.
00:22:16Sports is my identity.
00:22:18It's who I've been my entire life.
00:22:19They invited me to a tryout.
00:22:21I put my all into that.
00:22:25You know, I got my moment.
00:22:26I got my ticket.
00:22:27And now I'm here.
00:22:28I'm not promised tomorrow.
00:22:30Chris Island, he is somebody who makes the most out of each and every day.
00:22:33And that's why I'm different.
00:22:37Back up, Scott.
00:22:37Back up a little bit.
00:22:38Back up a little bit.
00:22:39All right, all right.
00:22:42I'm tired of hearing about big heads from people with big heads, but I'm not even worried about that.
00:22:46Because I'd be outside while you stuck in your mama's basement building what?
00:22:49RC cars?
00:22:50What's it called?
00:22:51The Beast?
00:22:51Come on, bruh.
00:22:52Go touch some grass, bruh.
00:22:54What was this?
00:22:54What was this?
00:22:55I like RC cars.
00:22:56Go touch some grass makes a lot of sense.
00:22:59Coming from someone built like the purple backyard again.
00:23:01Bro, you look like a Mike Tyson bobblehead.
00:23:04Mike Tyson bobblehead?
00:23:06Yes, sir.
00:23:07It's funny you bring a Mike Tyson because you toothless, dog.
00:23:10But I still won't let you ever come near my ear.
00:23:12Bro, your head is so big that you got to get dressed in the morning feet first into your shirt,
00:23:17bruh.
00:23:18Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on.
00:23:20Let's give somebody else a chance.
00:23:21Both of you, good job.
00:23:24I don't know if Shiloh spent all night thinking about me and the size of my head or what.
00:23:29I wasn't thinking about him that long.
00:23:31All I know is he don't got a tooth.
00:23:33That's all I know.
00:23:35Here we are.
00:23:36Here we are.
00:23:36Back talking about trash talking, trash talking.
00:23:39So what you need to do is bury somebody verbally, bury their fanny.
00:23:43So I'm going to pitch it to you, Danny.
00:23:45See what I did there?
00:23:47I'm not one to back from a challenge, so I'm going to choose a big body.
00:23:50Someone with an even bigger ego, but the smallest presence in the room.
00:23:55Lino, why don't you step forward?
00:24:02My name is Panina Tulepa P-Nasty.
00:24:05That's kind of like the nickname they gave me here at the PC.
00:24:10Rugby is big in our Polynesian culture.
00:24:12I enjoy the physicality, being able to smack somebody for free.
00:24:16Yeah, sign me up.
00:24:19I am Samoan descent.
00:24:22Samoan females, we know how to throw down, discipline, respect, loyalty.
00:24:29It's the energy that we just naturally have.
00:24:31It's the tenacity that we naturally have.
00:24:34When it comes for me to clock in, get out of my way, because the train don't stop for nobody.
00:24:38I'm going to eventually find the gold.
00:24:43You got the wrong one at the right place.
00:24:45What's wrong with you, long face?
00:24:46You got more wrinkles than a pug.
00:24:50Danny, there is, like, so many other girls.
00:24:54And she chose P-Nasty.
00:24:56That's where she knew she messed up.
00:24:58You doing that janky one-two step, shaking them pom-poms ain't going to help you in no real street
00:25:03fight.
00:25:03Okay, and we're not street fighting, girl.
00:25:05Get in the ring with me, because I already pinned you once, and I will do it again.
00:25:09We're going to see about that when I bounce your head off of that canvas.
00:25:12Uh-huh.
00:25:13Calm down.
00:25:13Nina, Nina, let's go, because I already did it once, and David, David, before.
00:25:17So I'm going to fight back.
00:25:18Stop, stop, stop, stop.
00:25:20You know what you want to say?
00:25:23I've fought Nina before.
00:25:24I've beaten Nina before.
00:25:25Do I think she maybe got me in that battle?
00:25:27I don't know.
00:25:28I started out pretty strong.
00:25:29But on the end there, she may have got me a little bit.
00:25:32But I'm happy with my performance, and we'll work on it.
00:25:36Who's hungry for some more?
00:25:38Who wants to step up?
00:25:39Oh, she ready?
00:25:42I've never really trash-talked before, but I'm going to put my own little Xena twist on it.
00:25:48Who wants a slice?
00:25:50I don't know.
00:25:53I like that.
00:25:54Xena, you have an amazing look.
00:25:56Did you look up dumb blonde on Pinterest and hit copy and paste?
00:26:00Whoa!
00:26:02Oh, hey!
00:26:03Damn, what are you looking for?
00:26:04Are you trying to make me scared?
00:26:06I don't get scared.
00:26:08I just get nauseous.
00:26:09Lucky for you, I would grow up.
00:26:15We're going to work it.
00:26:16No, no, no.
00:26:20All right.
00:26:20We got time for somebody else to talk trash to somebody.
00:26:23Okay, I eat.
00:26:24Alan or Dr. Moreau?
00:26:26Dr. Moreau.
00:26:27Who you got and what you got?
00:26:29We'll get Anthony Luke up here.
00:26:31Oh, snap!
00:26:34I'll go first.
00:26:36I'll go first.
00:26:36Okay.
00:26:37Hey, you're dating Roxanne Perez, right?
00:26:41Oh, snap!
00:26:42Oh, snap!
00:26:43She's only half your size, but how's it feel that you'll never be half the wrestler she is?
00:26:47Oh, snap!
00:26:50You know what that is?
00:26:52Get him, folks!
00:26:54Get him, folks!
00:26:56Get him!
00:26:56Get him!
00:26:56Get him!
00:26:57So Anthony Luke wants to call out my girlfriend, Roxanne Perez, but honestly, you look back on it,
00:27:03he really gave her a compliment.
00:27:04I'm just getting started here, and I would one day love to be on her level.
00:27:08My girl is already a better wrestler than you and your girl Maxine will ever be.
00:27:15I would have my girl come right now, but she's on the road because she's on May roster.
00:27:22Ever since I got here, everyone's always said, you're only here because Maxine.
00:27:26You're only here because Maxine.
00:27:27So I knew that it was eventually going to get brought up.
00:27:30So I know I could dish it.
00:27:31I could take it.
00:27:32I'm just having fun with it.
00:27:34Great job, everybody.
00:27:35Anybody else want to go?
00:27:37I think we're all crap talked out.
00:27:38Just group hug!
00:27:40Group hug, everybody!
00:27:41Hurry!
00:27:41Get in here!
00:27:42Group hug!
00:27:44LFG on three!
00:27:45LFG on three!
00:27:46One, two, three!
00:27:48LFG!
00:27:51Well, that was fun.
00:27:52So fun.
00:27:53But they got heated a little bit.
00:27:55It did.
00:27:55A couple of them, you know what I mean?
00:27:56I expected a little more out of my boy Chris because he's pretty quick with it,
00:27:59and so I was a little disappointed, I'll be honest.
00:28:01Okay.
00:28:01I thought he was going to do better, but that's okay.
00:28:04They all need work.
00:28:05They all need work.
00:28:08Personally, I thought it all sucked.
00:28:10I didn't think any of them really talked great trash.
00:28:13I didn't think they would because they were really put on the spot.
00:28:17Right?
00:28:17You set the table with the trash talking, and now I want to see what you're going to take
00:28:22into the ring.
00:28:24See, it's all part of what it is that we do.
00:28:27That's storytelling.
00:28:28Yeah, I think all those face-offs are our matches tonight.
00:28:32Now we're going to see how well they can follow it up.
00:28:34The promo battle was fire, and so that's exactly how we came up with the matches.
00:28:40Let's see what they can do physically.
00:28:41We saw their verbal attack.
00:28:43Let's see what the frontal attack is like.
00:28:46Shiloh Hill and Chris Island, I definitely want to see them.
00:28:49You can feel tension building.
00:28:51They made me want to see that.
00:28:52What about Drake, Moreau, and Tony Luke?
00:28:55Yeah, yeah, yeah, two big boys.
00:28:57What do you think when it goes down?
00:28:58Oh, my God.
00:28:59My God, we've been working, man.
00:29:00We've been working, so he's ready for that.
00:29:02The ladies got at it.
00:29:04Little Danny.
00:29:05Little scrappy Danny.
00:29:06Yeah, well, what did she stand to chance against Panina?
00:29:10You know, I was a little, I was wondering what Panina was, because she is quite reserved,
00:29:14but then she brought it too.
00:29:15But her presence in delivering the lines, it sounded good.
00:29:18And she grabbed your attention, like, ooh, what is she going to say?
00:29:22Because she just had that presence.
00:29:24Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:29:25She did well.
00:29:25Now let's see what she can do inside the square circle.
00:29:28Oh, she's ready.
00:29:28Well, she ain't going to beat Danny.
00:29:30She not going to beat Danny?
00:29:31No, she ain't going to beat Danny.
00:29:32I got a secret weapon.
00:29:33Ooh.
00:29:34I love secret.
00:29:35Sure.
00:29:36Don't you worry about it.
00:29:39This week's matches have been set, and the selected future greats begin their preparation.
00:29:45Each of them hoping to impress the judges and earn a point for their team.
00:29:50How are you feeling?
00:29:51You feel good?
00:29:52I feel good.
00:29:52I'm really excited for the match today.
00:29:54Anxious, like, nerves.
00:29:56You know, normal.
00:29:56Normal of being behind a stage and having to put on a performance.
00:29:59Totally.
00:30:00Yeah.
00:30:00It's going to be good.
00:30:01It's going to be good.
00:30:02I have faith in you.
00:30:03Thank you very much.
00:30:04Speaking of faith, my friend is here.
00:30:07Hi.
00:30:07Oh, my God.
00:30:08Thank you so much.
00:30:12Oh, my God.
00:30:13Stop.
00:30:14Michelle McCool.
00:30:15Yeah.
00:30:17So nice to meet you.
00:30:18Four-time champion Michelle McCool redefined what it meant to be a female competitor in WWE.
00:30:26Michelle McCool has made history.
00:30:29The first ever diva champion.
00:30:31Known for her fierce athleticism, innovative moves, and unwavering confidence, she set the
00:30:41stage for future generations of women to break barriers and steal the spotlight.
00:30:48Got a big match tonight?
00:30:49Yes, I do.
00:30:50Big challenger.
00:30:51What's your finishing moves?
00:30:53I don't have any right now, so it's kind of a work in progress.
00:30:56It takes a while.
00:30:57Which means she gets made all the time.
00:30:58Oh, man.
00:30:59You know what?
00:31:00So did I.
00:31:01I was always talking.
00:31:03Hey, hang on, guys.
00:31:05Yes?
00:31:07What are you doing?
00:31:08I happen to be married to The Undertaker.
00:31:12My husband did know I was coming.
00:31:15However, he thought it was just a little getaway from the kids, a little quiet time in the hotel.
00:31:20He didn't know that Mickey had called and asked me.
00:31:23You're helping Mickey out.
00:31:24You said I could come help out.
00:31:26It's talking about me.
00:31:27This is a competition, right?
00:31:29All right.
00:31:30I'm doing it up here now, just hoping.
00:31:33Is that cool?
00:31:34Sure you're good?
00:31:36No?
00:31:37Go ahead.
00:31:37I'm waiting on you.
00:31:38I love you.
00:31:39I love you, too.
00:31:39All right.
00:31:40Michelle and I had discussed her coming and helping coach, but that was something that I really
00:31:46wasn't expecting.
00:31:48Yeah, that may cause Mickey some problems later down the road.
00:31:54Yeah, finish your moves.
00:31:55You want to come up with something that you can catch anybody with?
00:31:58Something slick, sneaky.
00:31:58I think it's a solution or something.
00:32:00Danny was struggling.
00:32:01Being a tiny girl who's going to have to fight from behind in most of her matches, and she
00:32:05was just looking for some direction in how to catch her opponents for a finish.
00:32:10Say they catch you in something, they've laid you out.
00:32:12Boom.
00:32:13From this position, you can catch anybody.
00:32:15Just reach in here.
00:32:16All I have to do is pull you.
00:32:18They're coming down.
00:32:19Can you get that right leg around a lot easier than I can?
00:32:21I'm going to wrap this other foot nice and tight, and then I'm going to pull down on my
00:32:26foot.
00:32:27There was one submission, and most people know it as Hell's Gate, which happens to
00:32:31be the submission my husband used.
00:32:35John, look at this!
00:32:37No!
00:32:38Oh!
00:32:38What is this?
00:32:39Undertaker shot in Hell's Gate!
00:32:41Oh my God!
00:32:42One little catch.
00:32:43I did kind of just steal that move from my husband, who is Undertaker.
00:32:48Maybe go over there and ask him, just out of respect, if you can use that move.
00:32:54Good luck.
00:32:56Good luck, girl.
00:32:56Yeah, go get him.
00:32:57Go get him.
00:32:58You got it.
00:32:58You got it.
00:33:02Nope.
00:33:02Nope.
00:33:03Just wondering, you talked earlier about connecting with the crowd, not through just
00:33:08movesets, through motions.
00:33:10So when I go out there today, what's something I can think about to help me with that?
00:33:13Before my match, I went and spoke with Bubba.
00:33:16I really just wanted his insight on how to connect with the audience.
00:33:20I can't tell you how to get over.
00:33:23I don't know enough about you.
00:33:26I need to see you in the ring tonight.
00:33:30I need to pull his personality out of him.
00:33:33I need to know what makes him tick.
00:33:35Otherwise, he's just a big, bland, vanilla guy who's never going to cut it in world wrestling
00:33:42entertainment.
00:33:44Entertainment, you have a lot to offer.
00:33:46You know you do, right?
00:33:48Yes, sir.
00:33:49Tonight is the night to prove that.
00:33:52Yes, sir.
00:33:53My name is Drake Moreau.
00:33:55I was born and raised in the swamps of Louisiana.
00:33:58Swamp man.
00:34:01If I'm out on a boat and there's an alligator and I'm feeling froggy jump, I'll jump on anything.
00:34:06Just got to hold on.
00:34:10I believe my football career went very well.
00:34:12I had the opportunity to go pro, but once I was offered this opportunity, I had to take it.
00:34:17Being in the PC every day, I love this place.
00:34:20Getting to learn from legends has been amazing.
00:34:23I know when I step out there, it's an uphill battle and I'm ready for the climb.
00:34:33Hi, Coach Dacre.
00:34:34How are you?
00:34:35I'm good.
00:34:36So I wanted to come and talk to you because I was just with your wife, Michelle, and I
00:34:40was thinking about possible finishers and just something that fits my size and something
00:34:45I can do on anybody, regardless of their strength, their size, their height.
00:34:49And I wanted to see if it would be okay with you if I used the Hell's Gate submission.
00:34:54Hell's Gate.
00:34:55Yes, sir.
00:34:57Hell's Gate is locked.
00:35:00Will the game submit?
00:35:03I did have to ask him to use that submission in the match.
00:35:07It was the most intimidating moment of probably my life thus far.
00:35:11You got two minutes in this business and you're going to come ask me for one of my moves that
00:35:16I used for 30 years.
00:35:20Wow.
00:35:25The fact that you had the courage to come and ask me shows a lot about who you are.
00:35:30So you have my blessing.
00:35:32Thank you so much.
00:35:33Good luck.
00:35:34Thank you, sir.
00:35:35Back in the day, that's how things were done.
00:35:38If you were going to use someone else's move, you had to go to them and ask.
00:35:44And that just kind of gave me a little bit more respect for the person that Danny is to do
00:35:50that.
00:35:50So I did reluctantly give her my blessing.
00:35:59It's now time to get to action.
00:36:01Up first, Shiloh Hill against Chris Island.
00:36:07The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
00:36:11Here we go.
00:36:28My goals of going into this match were really, one, to earn a point for my team.
00:36:32The Undertaker said he wanted to see aggression from me.
00:36:37Also, like, Chris being younger and newer, just being able to lead him through, like, a match and put a
00:36:43good match together.
00:36:49And his opponent, representing Team Mickie James, from Buckerville, California, weighted at 240 pounds,
00:37:05Ryan Reynolds Island.
00:37:13Look at Mickie James there with that non-verbal smack talk.
00:37:16So supportive, Mickie James.
00:37:19Mickie told me she just wants to see me be better than last week.
00:37:22Things we worked on last week were my foot placement, making every step purposeful, making every step have a reason.
00:37:28You know, she wanted some reaches, reaching out to the crowd, reaching out to hard cam.
00:37:33I mean, those seem to be fixable issues, Brian.
00:37:37Well, it's always about the teachability factor.
00:37:40And as these legends continue to mentor these future greats, the real success here is to be measured by how
00:37:46they implement that knowledge into their matchups here on LFG.
00:37:50Shiloh started really, really well in his first match.
00:37:54And then he got a little confused halfway through.
00:37:58Let's see if he'll keep it together.
00:38:02Well, that's a fair critique.
00:38:03Remember, it was Haley Yearwood who kind of got tied up.
00:38:05But this is going to be a hard-hitting affair.
00:38:07And it's based on an earlier promo battle that we saw here on LFG.
00:38:11Yeah, things got a little heated between Shiloh Hill and Chris Island.
00:38:15And we're going to see if that animosity can be projected inside the ring.
00:38:19Now the battle here between these two future greats.
00:38:21Well, we say it each week how intimidating it is to step into the ring with the legends watching.
00:38:26And now you throw in another one.
00:38:27The Road Dog sitting here getting a bird's eye view.
00:38:30Oh, you didn't know.
00:38:31Road Dog so great to have him here on LFG.
00:38:34And you have to wonder if he's just ejected that little bit of personality that these two needed to get
00:38:38there.
00:38:39And work done in the ring.
00:38:40Well, Mickey right now has to be like footwork here.
00:38:42And even the body plays by Chris Island.
00:38:45Hip toss.
00:38:46Island in control.
00:38:48Doesn't shoot hip toss.
00:38:50Well, J.B., that did look like Islan was not going to be denied.
00:38:54No question about it.
00:38:55As you see, this great amateur background from Chris Island.
00:38:58So successful for him in college.
00:39:00Eight-time All-American in high school.
00:39:03Chris Island really excelled.
00:39:05Well, right to the face in the chop block.
00:39:07There's some of that intensity that The Undertaker was looking for being cranked up right now by Shiloh Hill.
00:39:15Shiloh Hill capitalized.
00:39:16That intensity is so important when the bell rings.
00:39:19And Undertaker is certainly a great example of that throughout his entire career.
00:39:23It's not only having it, it's also maintaining it.
00:39:26And then also being able to harness it.
00:39:28Big clothesline by Hill.
00:39:31Don't let him breathe too much.
00:39:34Don't take too much time.
00:39:36Message clear.
00:39:37Stay on top of your opponent.
00:39:39Island is hurt.
00:39:40You can't let him recover because if he is, he's able to get back into the match like he is
00:39:44right here and right now.
00:39:46Everybody stays so close together on everything.
00:39:49I dare him to create some space separation.
00:39:53Covering a kick out again.
00:39:55Weekly progress.
00:39:56Lessons get tougher.
00:39:57They're critiques.
00:39:58They're going to get harsher from these legends.
00:40:16That might have knocked him out for real.
00:40:20Oh my God.
00:40:24Get ready to celebrate the most iconic moments in WWE history.
00:40:28Look at this.
00:40:31D-generation edge.
00:40:32I don't believe it.
00:40:34Oh no.
00:40:35Don't come.
00:40:36WWE's greatest.
00:40:37Shiloh Hill and Chris Island are putting on a showcase of the match.
00:40:41When suddenly, things take an unexpected turn.
00:40:53You okay?
00:40:56Holy crap.
00:40:57That might have knocked him out for real.
00:40:59I thought it did.
00:41:01The kick connected to the back of Shiloh's head.
00:41:03I didn't see it.
00:41:05I didn't know how hard it was, but then I saw Shiloh fall, and it was more like a sack
00:41:09of potatoes.
00:41:10And I was like, at first, I was like, well, that was a hell of a sell.
00:41:13He's out.
00:41:14He's out, dude.
00:41:15He's out.
00:41:16Shut it down.
00:41:17He's hurt.
00:41:20Oh my God.
00:41:22Chris, check on him.
00:41:23That's your opponent.
00:41:26Everything can change in a moment inside the ropes.
00:41:30It's now up to WWE's medical staff to determine the extent of Shiloh's injury.
00:41:39No, nothing hurts you.
00:41:40I'm honestly going to keep her.
00:41:42No, no, no, no.
00:41:43No, you're not.
00:41:43Come on, Dad.
00:41:44Come on, Dad.
00:41:45We're going to get you.
00:41:45You did a great job.
00:41:46You did a great job, Tom.
00:41:47Yeah, we're good.
00:41:48You're good, man.
00:41:49Yeah.
00:41:49No, I'm just going to see you.
00:41:51No, you're good.
00:41:51Come on out.
00:41:53You did great.
00:41:54Sit down, brother.
00:41:55I remember being like, wait, why am I here?
00:41:58You know what I mean?
00:41:59I've been here for like a year, and I've never had an injury or anything.
00:42:02And I just didn't really know what happened.
00:42:05Number one rule, when you hurt somebody, you're the first one there, okay?
00:42:09I didn't even know.
00:42:11Yeah.
00:42:12He didn't get up, you know?
00:42:13Like, also, as you're covering him, the first question you ask is, you're good.
00:42:19Yeah.
00:42:20Yeah.
00:42:21Right?
00:42:22They don't have to say that.
00:42:23Yeah.
00:42:24But you always make sure they're good before you move.
00:42:27Okay.
00:42:28All right?
00:42:29Yeah.
00:42:30Go sit with him.
00:42:32And make sure he's good.
00:42:33Okay.
00:42:36In that moment, I'm just going through my head, you know, how did this happen?
00:42:42I don't take that name, Promise Child, lightly, you know?
00:42:45I've made promises to this company, and I've made promises to reach a certain level in this
00:42:49company.
00:42:49And things like that are not a part of that promise, you know?
00:42:52I want everybody to trust me with the most in this business.
00:42:59That's not something I'm just going to write off as, oh, this happens.
00:43:02You know, there's always a way to be better.
00:43:04And this was a learning experience, and I will be better.
00:43:09While Chris thinks about what went wrong and how to improve, Undertaker and the legends
00:43:14call over the rest of the future greats for a much-needed discussion.
00:43:19If you're working with somebody and they're not responsive or they're not doing what they
00:43:24should be doing, like if they're face down, don't even worry about trying to roll them
00:43:27over.
00:43:27Even if you realize it, you just got to leave them alone.
00:43:30You never know what kind of neck injury or something like that it may have.
00:43:33And that's just something that we need to really be cognizant of, those type of situations.
00:43:38It's not going to happen.
00:43:38I mean, they happen.
00:43:40But that's just a hell of a learning moment.
00:43:43That's why I'm making one to bring you guys up here.
00:43:45I'm having it.
00:43:45He just was very honest.
00:43:48He was like, look, guys, this is what comes with the business.
00:43:51Like, this is what you signed up for.
00:43:53And it's very important to be able to differentiate a real injury versus selling and knowing your opponent
00:43:59in that way.
00:44:01Let's protect each other.
00:44:02The health, safety is paramount.
00:44:06All right.
00:44:07Thank you, guys.
00:44:08Thanks.
00:44:08Thank you, guys.
00:44:13Injuries happen in sports entertainment, but the show must go on.
00:44:18Mickey's secret weapon, Michelle McCool, joins the legends to watch the next match.
00:44:22What a gentleman.
00:44:23You're the best.
00:44:24What a gentleman.
00:44:24See, sugar, he's not dead.
00:44:27These two here ain't nothing but trouble.
00:44:30Sorry.
00:44:35Imagine if you had a lick of wrestling about it.
00:44:37I know.
00:44:38I mean the crowd.
00:44:57My main focus makes the match superstar level.
00:45:03I have to be more aggressive, go in there and make everything bigger than I am.
00:45:12We know she can do just that, JB.
00:45:15Vic Joseph, Jeremy Borash, here, ringside.
00:45:17He nasty.
00:45:19Janina in the ring, set to do battle.
00:45:21Pride and joy of the Booker team.
00:45:24Representing Team Mickie James from Sanford, Connecticut, Denny Kielski.
00:45:35Come on, Denny.
00:45:36Come on, Denny.
00:45:37Get him.
00:45:37My name is match.
00:45:39You know, battle of the big and small.
00:45:40Hey, hey.
00:45:41Oh.
00:45:44That was really the main goal of the match.
00:45:46I need to try to play to my size as an advantage.
00:45:51Whoa, whoa.
00:45:53To fight from the ground up to be able to have that comeback and hopefully hit that submission.
00:45:57Oh, you like the strategy of the former Tennessee Titan cheerleader?
00:46:01Because there's a lot on the line between these two women here right now.
00:46:04Denny Kielski certainly has her work cut out for stepping into the ring against P. Nasty.
00:46:09Keep in mind, P. Nasty coming to us with a rugby background.
00:46:12That means the size, the strength, the power, she has it.
00:46:16And we're going to see it on full display here in this match.
00:46:20Shout out, by the way, to Michelle McCool for being here, stepping up, taking a look at the action.
00:46:25Great to have Michelle McCool here with us, along with the road dog, Jesse James.
00:46:30We're trying to get a side headlock.
00:46:32It appears that that power quickly is on display.
00:46:38All right.
00:46:39Nice, Danny.
00:46:40See that look?
00:46:41All these athletes, of course, adapting to change, JB.
00:46:45Well, that's what this is all about.
00:46:46It's that teachability factor.
00:46:48It's being able to adapt to the change and to learn how to do so and think on the fly.
00:46:52Wow.
00:46:54Run into a brick wall.
00:46:55Do you want to say a rugby background?
00:46:57Well, that certainly looks like it's just a brick wall background there.
00:47:00Obviously, what we've seen from Panina is so impressive.
00:47:03P. Nasty taking it to Danny Sekelski.
00:47:06Good shot, Danny.
00:47:08Well, Mickey seems impressed right now, but I would honestly be able to say Panina not so much
00:47:15as she continues the offensive onslaught in this match,
00:47:19trying to open the eyes of the coaches, of the legends here on LFG.
00:47:25I think Danny's got to take P. Nasty off her feet.
00:47:28Danny's got to try something else.
00:47:30Whoa.
00:47:30She's being out-sized and she's being out-powered right here.
00:47:34Oh, you see that slam?
00:47:36You see the look in her eyes?
00:47:37Can Danny continue?
00:47:40Can you?
00:48:02It's not about wins and losses, but you wouldn't really know that
00:48:07by the tension that's in here right now.
00:48:09Certainly, we're here seeing this on full display here between Panina and Danny Sekelski.
00:48:16So far, we're seeing a great showcase of the strength and the ability of P. Nasty.
00:48:21I need it to let that.
00:48:23Panina right now wearing down the competition, center of the ring,
00:48:26using the size, the power to her advantage.
00:48:29It's certainly something that Booker T has taught her.
00:48:33There you go.
00:48:34There you go.
00:48:35She's got to make that big, big.
00:48:38You're making her pay for every single move.
00:48:40Yeah.
00:48:40Be more aggressive.
00:48:41Be more aggressive.
00:48:50Try to take her off her feet, J.B.
00:48:52That's something you said earlier.
00:48:53Showing signs of life, but obviously out-powered once again.
00:48:58Danny Sekelski's got to try something else.
00:48:59Has to take her off her feet.
00:49:01Yeah, Danny trying to show.
00:49:02Mickie James trying to show.
00:49:04Michelle McCool.
00:49:05Something here.
00:49:06Something now, but took Panina off her feet.
00:49:09And this could be the turning point for Danny here tonight.
00:49:17Picking up some speed.
00:49:18Great momentum from Danny Sekelski.
00:49:21Oh.
00:49:22I don't know about all that now.
00:49:24No, no, no, no.
00:49:25We could have done it with just one of them.
00:49:27Too much.
00:49:28So that's okay.
00:49:30Well, it's certainly a learning experience, but Danny just learned the hard way.
00:49:38I mean, I hadn't covered her one time.
00:49:41Well, that's an issue, isn't it, J.B.?
00:49:43It certainly is.
00:49:44And that's what I love about Legends and Future Greats.
00:49:46It's like we're watching with some of the greatest minds in the industry.
00:49:49Well, it's the triangle.
00:49:49The triangle's locked in.
00:49:51Jack, Jack, Jack.
00:49:51That's the hell of a gate.
00:49:52That's the Undertaker's move.
00:49:53Jack, Jack, you know that, bitch.
00:49:55You're not asking for it.
00:49:58Danny has slayed Kanina.
00:50:01Wow.
00:50:02So, Mickie James took your finish.
00:50:07Your choke-out finish.
00:50:10Hey, it looked good, didn't she?
00:50:14All right, Legends, who would like to start with feedback?
00:50:17I thought it was great.
00:50:19I thought Miss Danny here had a great submission at the end.
00:50:23I don't know if you liked it or not.
00:50:25Might work.
00:50:25May have looked familiar, but I went into it real smooth.
00:50:28I enjoyed it.
00:50:29Did you like it?
00:50:34Well done.
00:50:37I was a little nervous, but I had much respect for you approaching me with that.
00:50:43Now, to the match.
00:50:46You move well, you take bumps, but you took too many bumps.
00:50:49You needed one bump in that match.
00:50:52If you make them work for it, and you take that bump at the precise right time, people are going
00:51:00to lose their minds.
00:51:02And then I want to see her have to scratch and claw to figure out how she's going to overcome
00:51:08the size and the strength thing.
00:51:10But very well done.
00:51:16Danny and Mickey's gamble seems to have paid off.
00:51:20Backstage, Drake Moreau is alongside his girlfriend, former NXT Women's Champion Roxanne Perez, as Drake gets set for his match
00:51:27against Anthony Luke.
00:51:29Can I have you more Roxanne?
00:51:30Can I have you, big boy?
00:51:31What's up?
00:51:32Can I have you, Roxanne?
00:51:33Can I have you guys out there?
00:51:34I'm out.
00:51:34Keep going.
00:51:35All right, let's do it.
00:51:36Can I have you, Roxanne?
00:51:37Stay calm.
00:52:09Oh, look at the quickness.
00:52:10Look at the quickness.
00:52:11Oh, yes.
00:52:13Oh, this is that boy right there.
00:52:16No bread.
00:52:17No water.
00:52:19Dance.
00:52:20Beep.
00:52:25Booker T, he's teaching us all how to do character moments and make every moment matter and mean something.
00:52:32My goal in this match is to show him that I am listening.
00:52:35I am a student of the game.
00:52:36I am taking it very serious.
00:52:41Roxanne is back there with me, which I love, you know.
00:52:46It helps distract me from the nerves and anxiousness of going out there.
00:52:50And, you know, she always brings me peace and comfort.
00:52:53It's a good feeling just knowing that she's there for me and there to support me.
00:52:57And I'll always be there to do the same for her.
00:53:06Oh, snap.
00:53:08That's dead man.
00:53:11Mr. Personality.
00:53:13Look at that.
00:53:14You've seen him dancing.
00:53:18Bubba told me that you wrestle this match like it is your last match in the WWE.
00:53:24And when he said that, it hit me.
00:53:26It's just go out there and lay everything on the line.
00:53:30Every match you have, you never know if it could be your last one.
00:53:34Well, here's his chance.
00:53:36Show us something.
00:53:39Coming up on Legends and Future Greats.
00:53:42This man, Drake Moreau, looking to give it everything he has.
00:53:45Oh, yeah.
00:53:47Damn.
00:53:47Did you see that?
00:53:49Is that the best you could have done?
00:53:54I challenge you to find a rivalry and deeply personal and volatile.
00:53:59This is Pussy TV.
00:54:01WWE Rivals.
00:54:03New episode next.
00:54:04Part of WWE Superstar Sunday.
00:54:06You're worth it.
00:54:12Oh, you don't pull the straps down already.
00:54:14Why pull the straps down?
00:54:16We gotta wait it.
00:54:17We gotta wait.
00:54:19It seems a message from the Legends sinking in for both these athletes.
00:54:25But in your opinion, JB, does it help or hurt the boy from the Bayou to have his girlfriend,
00:54:30Roxanne Perez, ringside?
00:54:32Well, I think it's a good thing if you win.
00:54:35Not a good thing if you end up getting your butt handed to you.
00:54:38We're gonna find out what happens here.
00:54:39But with Roxanne in his corner, you can bet this man, Drake Moreau, looking to give it
00:54:44everything he has.
00:54:45There you go, baby.
00:54:46Take your time.
00:54:47Just your ring, dog.
00:54:49Just your ring.
00:54:50Oh, he's like light work.
00:54:52That's right.
00:54:53Well, it's like Luke said earlier.
00:54:54He soaks in everything that Booker says, everything he teaches.
00:54:56And Anthony Luke's somebody who is cocky, who is arrogant, and who tries to back it up
00:55:01every time he does anything.
00:55:03Lifting weights, pick up game of basketball, or inside the squared circle.
00:55:06Well, you can bet that Anthony Luke has a fan in Booker T the minute that Anthony Luke selected
00:55:11Booker T as his mentor on this journey here on LNG.
00:55:15That's actually a very fair point.
00:55:18But going back to Drake here in a moment as he is in control of this matchup.
00:55:22There it is.
00:55:24There it is.
00:55:24He's from Louisiana.
00:55:26I get it now.
00:55:27Got it?
00:55:27I didn't understand.
00:55:29Down by the Bayou.
00:55:29Right.
00:55:30Right, right, right.
00:55:30He lives right over Bayou.
00:55:32He lives right over Bayou.
00:55:39Big clothesline.
00:55:41We're seeing that personality.
00:55:42We're seeing that support from Roxanne.
00:55:47He kind of bounces around like Jimmy Blue.
00:55:50Yeah, Blue Yogi Man, right?
00:55:51Yeah.
00:55:51I like him.
00:55:53Uh-huh.
00:55:53I was also starting to wonder if Road Dog taught him how to shimmy and shake.
00:55:56Well, we're seeing still some very impressive maneuvers from Anthony Luke.
00:56:01Showcasing what he has in his matchup.
00:56:03So impressive, Bishop.
00:56:04The kid has something, but he's trying too hard, ain't he?
00:56:08Like, everything is...
00:56:10Anthony?
00:56:11I feel like...
00:56:12Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:56:14It's my boy.
00:56:15See, that's unnecessary right there.
00:56:18That is completely...
00:56:19And it takes my attention away from the other...
00:56:22From the good stuff.
00:56:23Yeah, yeah.
00:56:25Well, Bubba believes that Luke might need to scale it back a bit into the cover in a kickout.
00:56:31These are hard lessons being dealt out right now, JB.
00:56:34Well, when you're that effective, sometimes less is more.
00:56:42Something we've always said, remember, it's not about who wins and who loses.
00:56:46As from behind, shoulders down.
00:56:48And, oh, Drake was a half second away.
00:56:52Oh, yeah!
00:56:53Oh!
00:56:55Good night.
00:56:57What a stinging elbow from Anthony Luke into the cover.
00:57:00You see that?
00:57:01Oh!
00:57:02You see that?
00:57:03Oh!
00:57:05Well, we all saw it.
00:57:06It was Drake who felt it in another kickout in this matchup.
00:57:10Luke not liking to count.
00:57:11Staring down the official.
00:57:13Roxanne Perez right now.
00:57:14She's got a concerned look on her face.
00:57:18And in this moment, she knows at least her man has some fight left, but is he going to be
00:57:24able to get back into this fight?
00:57:25Well, it was early discussion going into the LFG process that Anthony Luke would be a standout.
00:57:30Possibly a favorite to take the whole thing.
00:57:33And that reputation preceded him coming in here.
00:57:35It's up to Drake Moreau now to change that perception.
00:57:38And Moreau fighting back.
00:57:39He saw that massive Irish whip.
00:57:42And now throwing some rights.
00:57:44The boy from the bayou trying to pick up some steam.
00:57:46Big boot to the face.
00:57:49Everyone coming out of their feet.
00:57:50He's trying to take Luke out of his boots.
00:57:52Big body slam.
00:57:53Drake's rocking.
00:57:55Drake's rolling.
00:57:56He's got Luke hoisted up.
00:58:00Massive choke slam.
00:58:01Into the cover.
00:58:03And let the party begin.
00:58:06But was it enough to sway the judges?
00:58:09Here is your winner, Drake Moreau!
00:58:20I think I did the best that I could.
00:58:23Showed my personality like he said.
00:58:25And I believe I let it out.
00:58:26And I did everything I could.
00:58:29JB, bring up a good point.
00:58:30He did everything.
00:58:31But did he do enough?
00:58:33All right, guys.
00:58:34It's time to hear from the legends.
00:58:36The first question I have for you is this.
00:58:39Was that the best you could have done?
00:58:42Yes.
00:58:43Good.
00:58:44I'm glad that's your answer.
00:58:46Because that means you left it all out there and you gave it everything that you possibly had.
00:58:51I saw personality from you today.
00:58:55Good execution.
00:58:56You worked well.
00:58:57Good job, guys.
00:59:05And with the conclusion of the matches, it's time for the judges to decide who stood out this week.
00:59:10Like always, it comes down to this.
00:59:13What do you guys think?
00:59:20What do you guys think?
00:59:30What an unfortunate break for Shiloh because I thought he was tearing it up and then got his bell rung.
00:59:36I'm pretty sure that Shiloh would have won the day, but it is what it is.
00:59:43Drake really showed a lot of his personality this week.
00:59:46I think he's got a lot of potential, but at the end of the day, Anthony, for me, he was
00:59:53just a little bit better.
00:59:55Man, I'm going to have to go with, I think I'm going to have to go with Tony.
00:59:58Drake really impressed me tonight.
01:00:01And maybe it's because it's the first time I've really seen his personality come out.
01:00:05Like I knew that Tony had a lot of personality, but everyone's improving.
01:00:09It's so great to see everyone get so much better.
01:00:12I was proud of Drake tonight.
01:00:13I'll be brutally honest, like I thought he was the shining star.
01:00:17But I saw some character, personality, good selling.
01:00:21I was happy with his performance.
01:00:23I'm going with Drake.
01:00:24I totally understand exactly why you went with him and I feel the same way.
01:00:29But I got to go with Anthony.
01:00:31Look, I mentioned the cerebral and the verbal.
01:00:34Anthony Luke was a better man that day.
01:00:36And I think there are bigger and better things coming for Moreau as well.
01:00:39Holy mackerel, I was so impressed with the chemistry and the physicality of that.
01:00:43Like you said, the growth.
01:00:44I will say this.
01:00:45I heard there was a wonderful finish today.
01:00:49So, I don't know.
01:00:49Michelle, would you like to respond back?
01:00:51Wow.
01:00:52Stir in the pot, huh?
01:00:53Dang.
01:00:55We're all good, right?
01:00:56Yeah, hey.
01:00:57Look, I think they did a phenomenal job.
01:00:59I'm so impressed by these girls.
01:01:00I thought they did great.
01:01:01They executed the moves.
01:01:03They told a story.
01:01:04They stood here in front of y'all without their whole body shaking, taking criticism.
01:01:09And I have no doubt that they'll take that criticism and just improve every single week.
01:01:13So, I was super impressed.
01:01:14All right.
01:01:15Well, obviously great hearing from everybody.
01:01:17But this comes down like it always does to one man and one woman.
01:01:21It sounds like we need to bring them out and make our decision.
01:01:25After deliberations, the future greats are brought in to find out who will be this week's standouts.
01:01:32All right, legends.
01:01:33It's time to award the points.
01:01:35Who were the standout male and female of the show?
01:01:39Let's start with the ladies.
01:01:41Was it Danny or Panina?
01:01:44I know you've come to a decision.
01:01:46So, Undertaker, please tell us which way did the legends vote?
01:01:50Both of you, great job.
01:01:52You should be very proud.
01:01:54We can see the growth and it's awesome.
01:01:58Today, Danny, you get the point.
01:02:00Your ring presence, your energy, and your cell today, I think, is what put you over the top.
01:02:05Congratulations, Danny.
01:02:10When they announced that Danny won the point, yeah, I'm pissed off.
01:02:14I ain't even gonna lie.
01:02:15Okay, and now for the males.
01:02:17Chris Island, Anthony Luke, Drake Moreau, and Shiloh Hill, who's currently getting medical attention.
01:02:27Mickie James, were you gonna speak on Shiloh?
01:02:30Oh God, I mean, I'm just praying that he's okay, but I wanna say you guys killed it this week.
01:02:35Like, it's amazing to see you grow on a week-to-week basis.
01:02:39You all should applaud yourself.
01:02:40This was really, really difficult for us all to decide, but we're gonna have to go with Anthony Luke.
01:02:47Congratulations, Anthony.
01:02:51I was a little hurt that Anthony Luke got the point.
01:02:55You know, I thought I went out there and did what I was asked to do, but I guess I
01:03:00didn't do it well enough.
01:03:03All right, so Booker, Mickie, you both are in the lead with two points.
01:03:11Anthony Luke is leaps and bounds, heads above everybody in this whole thing.
01:03:18There's no doubt this kid is gonna be a star in this business.
01:03:23It was a good feeling to rep Team Booker and get the win, and every time I'm out there, I
01:03:27feel like I can get the win.
01:03:28So I told Book last week, hey, if you put me in the match, I'm gonna get us a point.
01:03:33I let the team down.
01:03:34All I can do is improve and try to get it next time.
01:03:37You gotta take every opportunity you're given and run with it and do your best and try to get us
01:03:42a point.
01:03:42Team Bubba is gonna keep trucking on ahead.
01:03:44I wanna be able to give these four everything of me so that they can turn around and go, he
01:03:52really gave a damn about seeing us succeed.
01:03:56So we still got a point for my team, but now it got a fire under my ass if you
01:04:01wanna say that.
01:04:02We'll get back to it.
01:04:04You know, hopefully Shiloh has a full recovery, fast recovery, and hopefully me and him can run it back and
01:04:09finish it the way it's supposed to be finished.
01:04:11So I was able to take home the point for Team Mickey this week.
01:04:15I'm honored.
01:04:15I was honored to do it in a way using Undertaker's move, using that submission Hell's Gate and just showing
01:04:21pride to our team and to Undertaker as well.
01:04:24Just ready to keep putting my head down and getting to work and I think my team would say the
01:04:28same.
01:04:31Next time on LFG.
01:04:35We will have the faction face-off.
01:04:38What kind of unit can we create?
01:04:41What can we do what's unique and different?
01:04:44Oh crap, this is my first match ever.
01:04:46Don't put so much pressure on yourself.
01:04:48You don't have a problem losing, right?
01:04:50You gotta be able to stand up for yourself.
01:04:53Get the out of here now!
01:04:54No!
01:04:55No, no, no, no, no!
