00:26Hello everybody and welcome to another edition of Reality of Wrestling.
00:30My name is Brad Gilmore joined by Chris Russo and Chris it is no limits that means we're going to
00:36see over the next few weeks some extreme scenarios going on for our Reality of Wrestling roster members and tonight
00:41is no exception Nasir Day is going to be taking on Jesse Funaki in a Texas City street fight.
00:49It's time for Jesse Funaki to put his big boy pants on this is the biggest opportunity and one that's
00:55going to require probably a couple of stitches maybe some bandages afterwards Jesse Funaki welcome to the row.
01:02Anything goes in a Texas City street fight and that is going to be our main event this week on
01:07Reality of Wrestling so don't miss out don't get shut out because Roe Platinum starts right now.
01:11Introducing first from Charlotte North Carolina weighing in at 215 pounds representing the Mog Squad WWE ID prospect Jakari Ball.
01:29Well the sparks are flying for Jakari Ball.
01:34The Hellcat is walking back in the Walker Texas Lawyer Arena here for Reality of Wrestling no limits the boat
01:42Brad Gilmore alongside Chris Russo.
01:44Chris Russo you got to love Jakari Ball.
01:46I look at Jakari Ball and he just reminds me of like a monster.
01:50I just want to understand whose talent and ability he looks absolutely amazing and the talent is right there too.
01:59Hey he is one of those guys you understand why his name is being spoken so much around this industry.
02:04This is as old Jim Ross would say a blue chipper.
02:09And his opponent from Miami Florida weighing in at 190 pounds the Honey Badger Will Austin.
02:24Well you want to talk about somebody named the Honey Badger.
02:27Will Austin has really made his presence felt at Reality Wrestling in the last several months Chris Russo.
02:33This has been a guy who's been a highlight reel, an MVP even in defeat somehow he seems like he
02:39won.
02:40He gets a lot of buzz, a lot of impressions on social media.
02:44But they have not translated to W's or too many of them yet.
02:48Well you see him shoving off Jakari Ball here in the early goings.
02:52You know I mean this is the same.
02:54Oh look at that.
02:54Kind of some disrespect.
02:57Referee MJ Bell calling for the bell.
02:59And now we are officially underway.
03:01Collin elbow tie up here in the center.
03:05Whoa.
03:06And you know what.
03:07Will Austin might be a little bit hardcore.
03:09He might have the heart of a Honey Badger.
03:11But man the amateur wrestling background of someone like a Jakari Ball man.
03:15Oh my goodness.
03:15It's on full display.
03:17The wrist control.
03:18But not allowing.
03:19Oh.
03:20The freedom of movement.
03:21But that was a smart pro wrestling move right there.
03:23Oh.
03:24Nice waist lock takedown.
03:26Okay.
03:26But immediately this is what you deal with when you are in the middle of the ring.
03:31With a former collegiate division one amateur wrestler.
03:36Right now Will Austin utilizing his abilities and his ring awareness and IQ to try to find a way to
03:43break this thing up here.
03:44Find a way to stand.
03:46Oh.
03:47Oh.
03:48It's not going to win you many favors here.
03:50A double leg.
03:53Oh.
03:55Nice takedown by the Atlanta Georgia native.
03:59The home of the Hellcats.
04:01Both the automobiles and that way of life.
04:03Oh.
04:04Y'all got broads in Atlanta.
04:08I was told once that they have parties till six in the morning.
04:11Oh.
04:12You ever had the wings?
04:15They're pretty good down there.
04:17I hear.
04:18But right now who's looking pretty good is Jakari.
04:20That athleticism is incredible and he is so young in his career.
04:24This is a guy who not only is an amateur wrestler he's a big MMA fan.
04:28Kevin Randleman his favorite MMA fighter.
04:30Patterns some of his pro wrestling offense off of the Monstar Kevin Randleman.
04:35Think how scary it is.
04:37Only two years.
04:37Oh look at the bite.
04:38Oh.
04:38Oh yeah.
04:39Look at that.
04:39Will Austin.
04:41A scrappy.
04:42Will will do whatever it takes.
04:44He only has a couple of wins here at the reality wrestling.
04:47One of them is against Jakari Ball.
04:49Well you know what?
04:50He's called the honey badger and that was a throwback to another animal.
04:53George Steele.
04:54You know a little bite on the forehead.
04:56Might get you some breathing room.
04:58And right there off the second row.
05:00Beautiful.
05:00Wow.
05:01Look at that.
05:02The afterburner.
05:03Cover.
05:03One.
05:04Two.
05:05Not enough to get down Jakari Ball.
05:08But here's the thing.
05:09You talk about the win-loss column for Will Austin.
05:13But to me what he's always done is whether you love his attitude or you hate his attitude.
05:18And to be honest with you he's not the nicest guy when you talk to him backstage.
05:21He doesn't really give you much.
05:22He doesn't say hello.
05:23He's not shaking your hand.
05:24He's not having a good day most of the time.
05:26But nevertheless be that as it may.
05:28He's always out here giving an incredible showing in the ring.
05:32And look at that.
05:32That's exactly what we were talking about.
05:36Just when you think Will is in a world of trouble.
05:40Able to turn it right back around.
05:41And now the Honey Badger won't give a damn.
05:45Because the kick out after two.
05:48We're right back on top.
05:49This is what we need to see from Will Austin.
05:52This is what management and the boss man needs to see.
05:55It's enough playing and running around.
05:57It is time to ah.
05:59Now don't get too cocky though.
06:02Well you know what.
06:02I mean some.
06:03Look.
06:03The at times irrational confidence of Will Austin is what leads him to being in these top spots.
06:10That we saw him in the battle to the bell ladder match with an all time highlight here at Reactive
06:15Wrestling.
06:16But you know what.
06:17I think that sometimes you know you don't want to belabor the point.
06:19You want to go ahead and try to get that win.
06:21That's right.
06:22That's what happens when you're a street fighter from Miami, Florida.
06:26A la Kimbo Slice.
06:28But speaking of.
06:30Look at the athleticism.
06:34Uh oh.
06:35Will Austin said you're not about to get that.
06:37Oh look at this.
06:38I love it when he does this.
06:39Oh.
06:40Flush.
06:42Cause that one shooting the bird.
06:45That is a lot of.
06:46Man.
06:48Little buckle bomb.
06:49We see him on Dream Street.
06:50But Jakari able to find his footing.
06:52Wow.
06:52Right out of the turnbuckle.
06:54He had enough inertia going for that Harlem side kick.
06:57Swing and a miss.
06:58Will Austin.
06:59Second rope.
07:00Oh my gosh.
07:00Kick to the gut.
07:01Trying to go for that cutter.
07:03Jakari.
07:04He smelt it from a mile away.
07:06And now Will Austin is in a world of hurt.
07:10Oh.
07:12What.
07:12Oh look at that man.
07:14Effortless Brad.
07:16Effortless.
07:17Nice hook.
07:18Nice bridge.
07:18For cover.
07:19One.
07:19Two.
07:20Oh no.
07:21Not enough.
07:23A perfect plex.
07:24For lack of a better descriptor.
07:26And Jakari.
07:27Ball.
07:28He going ball till we fall man.
07:30The man is a baller and not a hooper.
07:33I know he didn't play a whole lot of street hoops growing up Brad.
07:36I don't know if you know what that means.
07:37But we got to see it here in action.
07:39Look at the flow.
07:40You didn't catch me at the and one mixtape.
07:41And right now.
07:43Oh.
07:44He's showing off moves.
07:44Little monster slam.
07:46Looking for a second time.
07:47Looking for that monster slam.
07:51Oh.
07:51These float overs right now.
07:53He acting like the professor.
07:55Right now.
07:56He's showcasing them skills.
07:58And you know what.
07:58Will Austin is upside down like Spider.
08:03Third time.
08:04Oh no.
08:05Float through.
08:06Float over.
08:07Right to the face.
08:09This is what Will needed.
08:10Will needed it.
08:11Guys.
08:12The cutter.
08:12That's it.
08:13That's it.
08:14That's it.
08:15Cover.
08:15One.
08:16Two.
08:17Three.
08:18Oh no.
08:19MJ hit the mat the third time referee.
08:22But.
08:23I think that was in action.
08:25The eyes.
08:26We're getting two.
08:26That's right.
08:27We're getting two.
08:28The eyes saw differently from the hand motion.
08:30MJ Bell recognizing that was just a two.
08:33You saw.
08:34You saw Will Austin swear that it was three.
08:37But guess what.
08:39Two.
08:40Two.
08:40Two.
08:40Three.
08:41Sometimes like the umpire calling it a bit too early on that chase to first base.
08:46Yeah.
08:47Absolutely.
08:47And that's alright.
08:48Will's gotta regain that composure.
08:51He's got Jakari right where Will Austin wants her home.
08:54Oh look at that.
08:55Turned him inside out.
08:59Wait a second.
08:59You talked about that monster slam.
09:01Oh there it is.
09:02That was it.
09:03Right in the middle of the ring.
09:05And he got.
09:06That.
09:06Was three.
09:07Here is your winner.
09:10Jakari Ball.
09:17Jakari Ball victorious against Will Austin.
09:19The Hellcat.
09:20Bringing it.
09:21With that monster slam.
09:23Getting the three count.
09:24For what some people might call it for a rematch.
09:27A little controversy there Russo.
09:28Was that a flagrant foul that Wimby didn't get called.
09:30But you gotta take it all the way to the bell.
09:33And Jakari Ball did just that.
09:36Row Nation Taylor here.
09:39And I am joined by WWE ID talent Max Abrams.
09:44Main man.
09:44Who?
09:45Max tonight you are once again facing Clay Roberts.
09:50You know week after week we see you and Clay go at each other.
09:53Week after week.
09:54What makes tonight different?
09:55Well let me just break down the sequence of events.
09:58Okay.
09:58Sunglasses off.
10:00Match one.
10:01Clay had to cheat.
10:02Match two.
10:03Main man does main fan things and wins.
10:05Match three.
10:06Ajax tries to get involved because why not?
10:09And I still won.
10:10Match four.
10:12I slipped up.
10:13I lost.
10:14But here's the thing Taylor.
10:15The main man never loses.
10:17He only learns.
10:18Since Clay wants to have a bunch of goons running around trying to help him to defeat
10:22me.
10:23I brought my squad tonight.
10:26Hey big man.
10:29That's right.
10:30For the first time ever.
10:31Main man energy and CJ Valor.
10:34Take over reality of wrestling to absolutely.
10:37Ma ma ma ma.
10:38Mog.
10:39The competition.
10:41Taylor deal with us.
10:42Mog.
10:42Mog baby.
10:43I'm gonna mog.
10:44And that right there.
10:46Is main man energy.
10:48Ha ha.
10:49Big man's here tonight.
10:57A lot on the mind of this individual Ryan Davidson.
11:04We witnessed the last time out one of the most hellacious main events in reality of wrestling
11:09history.
11:10Between him and Will Alday.
11:12Ryan Davidson coming up short.
11:15Franchise versus Cornerstone.
11:17So you know.
11:19Ryan Davidson's got a lot on his chest.
11:21A lot of his mind wants to get off.
11:23Yeah.
11:24It was.
11:25It was quite the contest between those two gentlemen.
11:29I mean the Cornerstone versus the franchise as it was aptly titled.
11:33aptly titled.
11:34Because those two guys went out and showed why they are two of the very best in Roe history.
11:41And we've been wanting to hear from the Bears since then.
11:51Roe Nation appreciating everything that Ryan Davidson went through in that match.
11:55The last time that I was inside this ring.
12:00Me and Will Alday went to war for all of you.
12:10And we took each other to the limit.
12:14But that night, I lost right here fair and square in the middle of this ring.
12:28Not the first time.
12:30Probably won't be the last.
12:33But Will, if you're listening, you have and will always have my respect.
12:47But see, that's just the thing.
12:50Respect.
12:51That's the name.
12:52That's the theme.
12:53Because I just came out of here at the Walker Texas Lawyer Arena.
12:58And for the past year and a half, I was less than tolerable.
13:03And you people still stood behind me.
13:12I know I got all the accolades.
13:15First ever Grand Slam champion.
13:18Longest reigning Texas champion.
13:20What?
13:22Bonafide Reality of Wrestling Hall of Famer.
13:27What?
13:27But my greatest accomplishment.
13:30What?
13:30My greatest accolade.
13:33What?
13:33Is that I get to go under these lights, lace up my boots, and perform in front of all of
13:40you.
13:40And I'm sorry that I forgot that.
13:48Thank you, Ryan!
13:51Thank you, Ryan!
13:54Thank you, Ryan!
13:57Thank you, Ryan!
13:59So now, what do we do?
14:00What do we do? Where do we go from here?
14:03It's easy.
14:05To quote the late, great Owen Hart,
14:07enough is enough, and it's time for a change.
14:14Meaning, what do you people want to see?
14:17Do you want to see more tables in wrestling matches?
14:24Hell, maybe more steel chairs.
14:28Maybe I dump some more bodies off the top of a steel cage.
14:34How about some more fun?
14:38I know I took the low road, now I'm taking the high road,
14:43but really, it's time to go off-road,
14:46and I just want to know, Road Nation, are you with me?
14:54The energy is palpable at the Locker, Texas.
14:59Wait a minute.
15:04Joe Alonso is here?
15:07He doesn't have eyes for Joe Alonso.
15:12We've seen him at Reality of Wrestling before,
15:15and it looks like he's interrupting Ryan Davis' statement.
15:19Yeah, what else is new?
15:23Ladies and gentlemen, stand up on your feet
15:26and show some respect for the most dope professional wrestler
15:31that this generation has ever seen,
15:34that being Joe Alonso!
15:40A.K.A. The Troublemaker, everywhere he goes.
15:48Now, my apologies, Mr. Davidson,
15:51but if I'm being honest with myself,
15:54I would rather be in this crowd
15:56and sit through the women's match tonight
15:57rather than hear you suck up to these people.
16:00Who are you?
16:02What is this?
16:06What is this, Ryan, your apology tour?
16:09You want these people to like you?
16:15I thought you were supposed to be
16:17the most feared man at Reality of Wrestling.
16:21Toughest guy in that locker.
16:23You're the guy that everyone's been telling me about.
16:26The bear?
16:28Is Joe Alonso supposed to be afraid of you?
16:32Ryan, my friend, you ain't no big, bad bear.
16:37In my opinion, you're more kind of like a big-ass bitch.
16:44Oh, oh.
16:47What did you expect, Joe?
16:51You're going to pull the bear.
16:53Call the bear another word.
16:57Don't say it again.
16:59Oh, and here we go, finally.
17:11Oh, my goodness.
17:12The ultimate disrespect.
17:14Oh, these two guys just going at it.
17:16Oh, no.
17:17What the hell Joe Alonso was thinking coming out here?
17:20I'm all about shaking things up in a little bit of chaos.
17:24But it's an absolute...
17:25Everywhere Joe Alonso goes, he just stirs up the pot.
17:29He's a wild man.
17:30And I think he just poked the bear.
17:33The bear's in the building.
17:36Ryan Davidson.
17:39Oh, let's see.
18:05Do you want to become a professional wrestler?
18:07Booker T's Reality Wrestling Training Facility in Texas City, Texas
18:11is a 15,000-square-foot facility
18:14with over 50 full-time students and wrestlers from around the world.
18:19Inside sits a 9,000-square-foot venue set up for weekly shows
18:23where our students will showcase their skills
18:25in front of a live studio television audience.
18:29In the back, a full weight room
18:31complete with state-of-the-art equipment and personal trainers,
18:35along with a full staff and personnel running the day-to-day operations.
18:40Reality Wrestling provides everything you need
18:42to become a well-rounded professional wrestler
18:45learning under the two-time WWE Hall of Famer Booker T.
18:50Referees, ring announcers, and commentators.
18:53At Reality Wrestling, we just don't teach you
18:56how to be a professional wrestler,
18:58but how to be an elite sports entertainer.
19:01This is the reality of wrestling.
19:05The following contest is a tag-team match
19:09scheduled for a one-fall.
19:11Introducing first, at a combined weight of 380 pounds,
19:15the team of the cleanest ever doing,
19:19Ajax and the precision tactician,
19:24Clay Roberts!
19:27Clay Roberts and Ajax,
19:30the reformation of TAP.
19:32Under any other circumstance,
19:35reunions are fun,
19:36but there's not going to be any games here
19:38for Ajax and Clay Roberts.
19:40It's about making an impact statement,
19:42and it's going to happen here tonight.
19:44But it is good to see them back together.
19:46It is good to see them back together,
19:48although the Roe faithful doesn't look like they care too much.
19:51One-finger salute transcends languages, regions, cultures.
19:58But for Ajax and Clay Roberts,
20:00it's like, hey, maybe the second time is the charm.
20:05It very well could be,
20:06but this is a continuation from a few
20:09that we've seen going on with Max Abrams
20:12and Clay Roberts from Glory.
20:15I mean, they have had traded wins back and forth,
20:17trying to finally maybe put some finality
20:21to this boom between them,
20:23battle between them.
20:40And their opponents,
20:42from the great state of Texas,
20:46at a combined weight of 430 pounds,
20:49the team of the big man,
20:53C.J. Fowler,
20:54and the main man,
20:57Max Abrams.
20:59And they are
21:01Mod Squad!
21:04Mm, mm, Brad.
21:07I see the pull-away pants on Max Abrams.
21:10We know what's going to be happening.
21:13Oh, you noticed that, didn't you?
21:14Yeah, I think there's like,
21:15it's almost as if there's an audition going on
21:17for heartbreakers down the street here simultaneously.
21:22Main man energy,
21:24Max Abrams and C.J. Valor.
21:28He's got a hell of a lot of energy.
21:30I'll give him that.
21:31Yeah, and it is what has propelled these two men
21:34as part of the MOG Squad down at WWE Evolve, right?
21:39Taking that WWE ID talent
21:42and being able to just make it work.
21:45These two guys just make it work.
21:47Uh-oh.
21:48Here we go.
21:48Here we go.
21:49Get ready.
21:49Here we go.
21:50Convert your eyes.
21:53Or maybe not.
21:54Oh, there it goes.
22:01You know, I was talking about...
22:02Move that tongue back up in your mouth there, Brad.
22:05Oh, yeah, whatever.
22:06Are you from Maryland?
22:08Um,
22:09I was talking about in the last segment,
22:12in our last match, rather,
22:14Will Austin having irrational confidence.
22:16I am going to correct that statement.
22:20That would be main man energy, Max Abrams.
22:21No.
22:22Yes.
22:22I strongly disagree.
22:23Ah, you see that?
22:25With the beef that Clay and Max Abrams have one another,
22:29the mind game's starting out.
22:30But, you know, you say that about Max Abrams.
22:32No, no, no.
22:33The man is confident.
22:34The man not only has an upcoming ID Championship match,
22:38but coming up at Succession 3 on WWE Evolve,
22:41the man has an upcoming Evolve Championship match.
22:45Look at this.
22:46Max Abrams, he is title maxing.
22:49Brad.
22:50He's looks maxing.
22:52He's title maxing.
22:53I got to love it.
22:54But you're talking about a lot of things that are upcoming.
22:56So, is his eye too far in the future
22:58and not in the current, present moment in time?
23:01Always remains to be seen,
23:02but a nice early cover.
23:04Ajax.
23:10Nice tag in here to CJ Valor.
23:13Interesting how this tag team is going to work
23:16when you break it down between two men,
23:18and the mock squad, knowing how to work together.
23:21Clay Roberts and Ajax.
23:23CJ Valor.
23:24Ajax needs to get the hell up out of there.
23:27Blonde head.
23:30It's like an episode of Family Guy here
23:32when we talk about Brian and his books.
23:34Friends become enemies.
23:35Enemies become friends in these novels.
23:38Can Ajax and Clay Roberts put aside
23:40any sort of bad energy or bad juju between them
23:46and what has transpired between them in the past?
23:47Just to make it work together.
23:49You have to see it.
23:50You see that Clay Roberts still doing the coaching of Ajax.
23:55Very tough on him.
23:56Very aggressive at times.
23:59Who would be at a good NBA comparable?
24:01Maybe like a Pat Riley.
24:02You know, just yelling at the players.
24:05Next time I see Clay Roberts wearing a $2,000 Armani suit, though.
24:11I don't know if they have Armani in Skipperville.
24:14I don't think they import that.
24:16Look at the athleticism here.
24:19Oh.
24:20Bubbing.
24:23Oh.
24:24Uh-oh.
24:25Oh, you're caught between a rock and a hard place.
24:28Nice.
24:28Judo throw.
24:32Oh, my goodness.
24:35Watch out, Ajax.
24:42Here's Enem's main man energy.
24:44Oh, man.
24:45Flush to the dome piece.
24:48See, look at this, though.
24:49Look at that.
24:49I hate this.
24:50I hate it.
24:52He should have capitalized on the offense on Clay Roberts and Ajax.
24:57He should have capitalized that.
25:00Sometimes the energy just a little too tough to overcome.
25:04And that's fine.
25:05But now we reset.
25:07Now let's see exactly what we'll take.
25:08Ah.
25:10Look at that.
25:11Nice.
25:11Oh.
25:12Maybe the distraction would help.
25:14Not to be.
25:19You know, we always have a burgeoning tag team division here in Reality of Wrestling.
25:23The motion, the current Reality Wrestling Tag Team champions.
25:26Right now, I think, oh.
25:28Both these teams showing that they could be in title contention.
25:30You talk about title maxing.
25:32Oh.
25:32What about still post-maxing?
25:34Clay Roberts wants to introduce Max Abrams.
25:37You mentioned before, these three have gone against each other three separate times.
25:42Max getting the better of Clay two out of the three.
25:46Now trying to maybe look to even the odds in tag team action.
25:50Now tag into the precision tactician.
25:56Skipperville's favorite son, a submission specialist, a technical icon.
26:02See that great, great control of that left arm.
26:07Pushing down on the labrum, the tricep, the trapezius muscle.
26:12The hell did you study medicine?
26:14He's anatomy.
26:16Oh.
26:18Very nice.
26:19You know what?
26:20Typically, we see something like this.
26:22Oh.
26:22Good God.
26:23We typically see this type of wrestling at the beginning of a match.
26:27But Clay knows exactly what he needs to do, which is to slow it down and return this match to
26:32where he feels the most comfortable.
26:35Tag in the Ajax.
26:36Clay Roberts is less concerned with breakaway pants and more concerned with breaking bones of Max Abrams.
26:42That's how much these two guys have really been going at it.
26:46There's a general dislike that Clay Roberts has for most people.
26:50Yep.
26:50But for Max Abrams, it is hatred.
26:53Yeah.
26:53Flashy.
26:54The teeth are too white.
26:55The smile is too grinny.
26:58You can understand.
26:59Oh, so tantalizingly close.
27:01A grinny smile.
27:02Okay.
27:05Look at Max.
27:07Oh.
27:08Trying to fight out of that corner so far away.
27:13Oh.
27:15Wow.
27:16What a spine buster.
27:18And this is causing the open for Max Abrams to try to get a tag to CJ Valor, which he
27:24needs desperately.
27:25You see the gas take is spent.
27:26And Clay Roberts is just not going to allow it to happen like a serpent.
27:31Take down the man from his base.
27:34Stay in between the two partners.
27:38Look at how close CJ and Max are.
27:41Look at that.
27:41Just fingertips away.
27:44Whoa.
27:46Max Abrams able to roll through.
27:48And he got it.
27:49He got it.
27:50He got it.
27:50And here comes CJ Valor.
27:52Down Clay.
27:53Down Ajax.
27:54House off by arm.
27:56Former football player charging his way through.
28:08He got it.
28:10He got it.
28:11He got it.
28:14He got it.
28:26Oh.
28:28Huge spear.
28:30Good God.
28:31Phenomenal, ferocious spear from CJ Valor on Ajax.
28:36That was enough to get the three count.
28:38And that was enough to keep this in the win column for the Mod Squad.
28:46Well, coming up next, we are out here wrestling.
28:48Main event street fight.
28:49Texas City street fight from Nasir Day and Jesse Funaki.
28:53Momentarily, we're going to take a look on how exactly this came to be.
29:03Jesse Funaki exhibiting a 39-inch vertical leap.
29:08And he's like, I've got to reach up higher.
29:10That was tremendous elevation on that right takedown.
29:13He jumped up to Wimbunyama Heights.
29:17And now, he's going to go find a place in San Antonio to celebrate tonight.
29:21Maybe a restaurant by that dirty little creek they got down there.
29:27But nevertheless, Jesse Funaki victorious in Texas City, Texas.
29:34I'm going to put my hands on that.
29:37Burn it.
29:38I want it.
29:39I want it.
29:40I want it.
29:41I want it.
29:42I want it.
30:05We are not the same.
30:07I'm not who I once was.
30:10I am Nasir Day.
30:12I'm coming for everything.
30:14I'm coming for everything.
30:17The following contest is a Texas City Street fight scheduled for one fall.
30:25In choosing first, from Houston, Texas, weighing in at 195 pounds, Nasir Day.
30:36The former fly brother Warren Jay, now Nasir Day, going through a spiritual journey, a rebirth,
30:46if you will, a reincarnation.
30:48And Jesse Funaki, and Jesse Funaki, and Jesse Funaki spoiled the party of a re-debuting Nasir Day.
30:55This was once an admired superstar here at the reality of wrestling.
30:59But through this journey, Nasir Day has recognized it's not about what the people want.
31:05It's about what fulfills him.
31:08It's about what fulfills him.
31:14Keep the same energy.
31:16Keep the same energy.
31:17Don't switch up when you see the shine on.
31:19Same love, same hate, same enemy.
31:20And it is the opponent from San Antonio, Texas, weighing in at 190 pounds, Jesse Funaki.
31:33Yay!
31:34This is the first time I've seen a look of Jesse Funaki that is unshakable.
31:40And we see how this street fight here begins.
31:42And look at this.
31:43These two guys just throwing them bows, like Ludacris would say.
31:48And you know what, you're right, Chris Russo.
31:50Jesse Funaki not with a smile on his face, not jumping through the curtain with all the energy in the
31:55world
31:55and the youthful exuberance that he normally exhibits.
31:57It is all business, and it is about a fight tonight, because this is a Texas City street fight.
32:04One, two, three, four, five.
32:12I just feel like it's a matter of time here, Brad, right?
32:16As they get to the whooping that we're going to start seeing some hardware.
32:19We're going to start seeing, like, the Home Depot and Lowe's Clearance rack coming out in full.
32:24Well, in case you don't know, if you're watching around the world in a Texas City street fight, anything goes.
32:31No disqualifications, no count outs, foreign objects are legal, no holds are barred.
32:36But you do have to finish the match inside the ring for the three count.
32:42Ace is certainly the place.
32:43Ace is the place.
32:48Ace is the place to be for Jesse Funaki.
32:59Jesse Funaki flying through the air.
33:07Jesse Funaki flying through the air.
33:13Jesse! Jesse! Jesse!
33:13He's not enough to be happy to be here!
33:15Oh! Oh!
33:16Good God!
33:16It's about digging deep and becoming a true star.
33:22His face rebounding off that steel pole so hard.
33:26Dennis Rodden couldn't find it.
33:28WWE Hall of Famer Dennis Rodden, I should have.
33:31Excuse me.
33:33But now, where we see Jesse...
33:36Where did...
33:36Oh, there it is!
33:37Nasir!
33:39Nasir got, like, a pool cue.
33:41I see a trash can, a street sign.
33:44Where the hell aisle does a pool cue come from?
33:46Watch out!
33:48Uh-oh, swinging a miss there by Nasir Day.
33:56Sending him back in the ring.
33:57You know, this is a...
33:59Well, less a match than it is a fight.
34:02I mean, it's in the title.
34:03Texas City Street Fight.
34:05Jesse Funaki...
34:05No, no, no, no, no, no, no!
34:07Oh!
34:08Good God in heaven!
34:13This is where you're going to actually see the experience
34:15of Nasir Day coming in droves.
34:17Absolutely.
34:18Because think about the number of street fights
34:20and no holes in the ring.
34:21He holds bar matches that Nasir Day has experienced in his tenure
34:24as both a singles and as a tag team competitor.
34:26And for Jesse Funaki, this is absolutely foreign territory.
34:30What do you mean?
34:30Prior to Nasir Day training to become a professional wrestler,
34:35this is a guy who spent a lot of time in Chicago.
34:37There were fights all the time, he told me, growing up.
34:40He is prepared for something like this.
34:43It's instilled in you over there.
34:45Oh!
34:47Broke the pool cue across his back.
34:51South side, north side, east side.
34:52Don't matter, Chicago!
34:53One, two.
34:58Well, a smile on his face is what he don't like.
35:01Is Nasir Day and Jesse Funaki is anything but smiles
35:05at this current moment.
35:06That's where you got to keep going.
35:07Nasir Day at the lower back.
35:11Soften it up.
35:16Nasir Day ready to take out the garbage!
35:19Oh!
35:21Almost.
35:27We're just going to keep going, keep rocking with it.
35:29I understand Nasir Day.
35:36But typically when you see someone go through a spiritual journey
35:39and go as far as to change their name and their complexion
35:42and everything that they're about, maybe it's usually for better reasons,
35:46maybe not as violent of a reason why Nasir Day is loving it!
35:52Oh!
35:52Jesse Funaki!
35:53Where did that dropkick come from?
35:55Where did that dropkick come from?
35:55It's just an onslaught.
35:57It's just an absolute onslaught.
35:59It's just an absolute onslaught.
36:00Dave!
36:01Dave!
36:03Whoa!
36:05To the floor goes Nasir Day.
36:10Maybe the third time's the charm to the outside!
36:13Oh, man.
36:16That was absolutely magnificent.
36:19And Road Nation loves what they're seeing from Jesse Funaki.
36:24Jesse! Jesse! Jesse! Jesse!
36:33Uh-oh. Uh-oh.
36:35We're going from metal to wood.
36:39Setting up the dinner table, ladies and gentlemen.
36:46Jesse Funaki is ready to feast.
36:50I need to take Nasir Day out, but not if Nasir Day has anything to do about it.
36:58And right now, that table being introduced is normally not a great thing.
37:04For either superstar, Nasir, taking a moment to appreciate his work.
37:10And if you look down, Jesse Funaki holding on to that right shoulder.
37:19Uh-oh.
37:19He's got a chain.
37:21Uh-oh.
37:26One for now and one for later, Brad.
37:28And oh, my goodness.
37:30Oh, my gosh. Nasir Day is going to whip Jesse.
37:32Oh, the reverberation not feeling good for Nasir.
37:37Off that steel guard post.
37:47This is where the damage, I think, really starts to accumulate and build up for these two men.
37:55It's one thing to talk about a battle of attrition, but frankly, how are you able to stay composed?
38:00How are you able to overcome just the immense pain that's coursing through your body to get the one, two,
38:07three?
38:08Well, you know what?
38:09Right now, you're running on fumes.
38:11You're running on adrenaline.
38:12Oh!
38:13And right there, a steel chain wrapped around the right hand of Nasir Day.
38:20Jesse Funaki did not see that at all.
38:27This is where Nasir Day wants Jesse square in the ring.
38:32No ropes around two.
38:33Oh, man.
38:35Another close call.
38:38Very close call, but Nasir doing the right thing, not allowing himself to get thrown off by that,
38:44going right back to the attack, right back to the offense.
38:50Jesse Funaki, of course, second-generation superstar.
38:53You don't know if he talked to his pops before this one,
38:57but this is one where advice really can go out the window.
39:00You just got to be ready to scrap.
39:03Indeed.
39:06And Warren doing a little redecoration.
39:08Getting the table set here, making sure everything is in peak working order,
39:13but meanwhile, allowing Jesse Funaki here precious moments.
39:17But Nasir has his eye on finishing his opponent,
39:21and he's going to use that table to his advantage.
39:23So, yes, he might be given some moments to...
39:27Oh, wait, hold on.
39:28What a tarnation!
39:30What the hell?
39:31Was that a fire extinguisher?
39:33Where the hell did that come from?
39:36Jesse Funaki with the fire extinguisher,
39:39and now, Sinu Nasir right into that trash can.
39:46Oh, my goodness!
39:47The KTS-E going for a cover.
39:49One, two, oh, no, not enough.
39:54Nasir Day, blinded and absolutely domed by a metal trash can,
39:59still able to kick out.
40:06Jesse Funaki's feeling it.
40:08Ronation is feeling it.
40:11They sense that the end is nigh for Nasir Day.
40:18What, what, what, no, what, Jesse, come on now.
40:20What is he, what is he calling for?
40:22I mean...
40:23We know that the man is athletic as all heck,
40:27but just, oh, breaking the eyes,
40:30all legal here in this Texas City Street fight.
40:37Hey, this is what Jesse Funaki wanted.
40:39He was signaling it was something big.
40:41Nasir Day is just finishing what Jesse started.
40:47Oh, no.
40:49Table squarely under Nasir.
40:52Jesse's going to be in for a world of hearts.
40:56Right there.
40:57You see Nasir.
40:59You see Jesse battling in a precarious position on the top.
41:05Oh, no.
41:05Oh, no.
41:06Oh, look.
41:06Jesse able to jump right over it.
41:11Nasir.
41:13Oh, a super kick.
41:19Oh, my goodness.
41:22Oh, there's the twin.
41:24Another huge shot from Nasir.
41:28Uh-oh.
41:29Jesse.
41:29Oh.
41:31Still has enough athleticism going for the elevation.
41:35Look at that.
41:35Oh.
41:37Oh, man.
41:41Oh, boy.
41:43Jesse Funaki climbing up the ropes.
41:48What is he thinking?
41:50Nasir Day's out.
41:51No.
41:53No.
41:54Great.
41:55Totally moogly.
41:57Goals for the cover.
41:59Getting in it.
41:59One, two, three.
42:01Jesse Funaki is your winner.
42:03Here is your winner.
42:05Jesse Funaki.
42:13We're a battle, a war.
42:17Some might call it a Texas-sized street fight between Jesse Funaki and Nasir Day.
42:23But the second-generation star from San Antonio is standing tall with the W in his column and the
42:32rogue faithful chanting his name.
42:34I think we just saw the growth and maturation of a star.
42:38Congratulations to Jesse Funaki.
42:40And yes, you do belong in the reality of wrestling.
42:45If you live without the rope, I steer you.
42:47Don't turn from back when in victory.
42:48See you next time.
