00:00:00Now, forever, together.
00:00:26Come on in.
00:00:29Hey, bro.
00:00:30There she is.
00:00:30What's up, bro?
00:00:31Chilling.
00:00:32What's going on?
00:00:33This week, life-changing news.
00:00:35I get a new name, which is a really big deal.
00:00:37It's actually kind of scary, because at this point,
00:00:40I'm going to be known more as my wrestling name
00:00:41than I am my real name.
00:00:43All right, what you got?
00:00:44Just tell me.
00:00:45So, we had you came up with a bunch of first names, last names,
00:00:48and we went through a couple names,
00:00:50sent two names in the legal.
00:00:52They both cleared.
00:00:54Okay.
00:00:54Micah Lockwood and Sage Blackwood.
00:00:59Ooh.
00:01:01I liked Sage at the beginning.
00:01:03We were talking through it, and then I was like,
00:01:04well, Micah's chantable, and it's just like...
00:01:06Yes, I agree.
00:01:07First name, if we ever...
00:01:08Just go with the first name.
00:01:09Micah seems more...
00:01:11Powerful, like, more...
00:01:12Yeah.
00:01:13...aura.
00:01:13Yeah.
00:01:15Low-key.
00:01:16Low-key.
00:01:16I like Micah.
00:01:17Micah Lockwood.
00:01:18Your call.
00:01:18If you say yes now, you are now Micah Lockwood for the rest of your life.
00:01:22You tell me what you want to do.
00:01:24So, I have to have the last name, too?
00:01:26Well, put in the last name.
00:01:28Okay.
00:01:28Because I'd rather put in the last name.
00:01:29It's easier to go from Micah Lockwood to Micah than it is to Micah O.
00:01:33Add the last name.
00:01:34Okay.
00:01:35I like it.
00:01:35Let's do it.
00:01:36Log it in.
00:01:36Yes.
00:01:37Log it in.
00:01:37Final answer.
00:01:38That's my new name.
00:01:38Final answer.
00:01:39Ding, ding, ding.
00:01:40Between the two options, that was the one I could feel my heart was like,
00:01:43yeah, like, that's the one.
00:01:44That's the one in my gut.
00:01:45All right.
00:01:45There we go.
00:01:47Hey, my name is Micah.
00:01:47Nice to meet you.
00:01:48Johnny.
00:01:48Nice to meet you.
00:01:49Okay.
00:01:49That sounds badass.
00:01:52Come on.
00:01:53Talk to him.
00:01:54Let's go.
00:01:56Yeah.
00:01:56We're all here to be separate and be great.
00:01:59I need you to look like you're in control.
00:02:01Let's go.
00:02:01If I was Shawn Michaels, you guys would be on NXT tomorrow.
00:02:04It has to happen now.
00:02:06You don't have to wait to see who gets called up.
00:02:08They can go at any time.
00:02:10The future is indeed now here on LFG.
00:02:13All right.
00:02:15All right.
00:02:15Let's go.
00:02:20KO, good to see you.
00:02:21Bubba, good to see you.
00:02:22Booker, welcome back.
00:02:23Oh, yes.
00:02:24We missed you last week.
00:02:25We felt like something was missing.
00:02:26I know.
00:02:26I know.
00:02:27It was quiet.
00:02:29As usual, three matches.
00:02:31We'll get right to it.
00:02:32Booker, you'll have the first match tonight.
00:02:34Braxton Cole versus Shady Alanis.
00:02:37Braxton, it's his fifth match.
00:02:39Character development right now.
00:02:41Character development.
00:02:41I think arrogance needs to be shown a little bit more in his work.
00:02:45He's a smart kid.
00:02:46I think he's going to get it.
00:02:47Shady, this is his second match.
00:02:50His first match was less than.
00:02:52He was worrying about someone else's moveset rather than his moveset.
00:02:59I've seen Shady doing some amazing stuff in practice.
00:03:02Stuff that only he can do.
00:03:03He's a world champion judo practitioner.
00:03:06So, this is an opportunity to get out there and show Sean exactly what this kid can do.
00:03:11Our next match, KO.
00:03:13Yep.
00:03:13Two guys that I would say are on the bubble right now.
00:03:16Okay.
00:03:17Malik Blade and Chris Island.
00:03:20Malik athletically can do it all.
00:03:22But charismatically, just doesn't have it.
00:03:24I second bet.
00:03:25I second bet.
00:03:26And then you got Chris Island.
00:03:28It's his fourth match this season.
00:03:29He's been getting the opportunities, but nothing is consistent with him.
00:03:33To me, he underperforms when the red light turns on.
00:03:35Okay.
00:03:36When I watch him through the week in practice, the kid does pretty good, man.
00:03:39He's a stud.
00:03:40But when the red light goes on, something happens.
00:03:42And, you know, I hope he can get him past that.
00:03:44All right.
00:03:45In the main event, Bubba Dudley.
00:03:48The new Micah Lockwood, Kaylee Humphries.
00:03:51Oh, that's her new name.
00:03:53That's her new name.
00:03:54Micah Lockwood.
00:03:55Against PJ Vassa.
00:03:58Two women that are physical.
00:04:00And I want them to continue to be physical.
00:04:02I'm excited to see what you do with these two.
00:04:04They've been around since day one.
00:04:05Can you tell me exactly what you want to see out of Micah?
00:04:09I want to see her be physical, be confident.
00:04:12And just own the space that she is in.
00:04:14Because she's so unique.
00:04:16There's no one like her.
00:04:18And from PJ?
00:04:19We're talking to NXT creative about her.
00:04:21They don't believe it.
00:04:22It's a savage person that she's trying to portray.
00:04:25First and foremost, when she comes out the curtain, she's really not turned on.
00:04:28Then she gets into the ring, and she does her.
00:04:31And that's the first time, like, you're able to see who this person is.
00:04:34But when she comes out that curtain, she needs to be that person.
00:04:37Even when she's beating up the other girl, I don't believe it either.
00:04:41It doesn't seem like that's really her.
00:04:43She's just not transitioning that, at least believably, into what we do.
00:04:47So, as always, talent is super excited to get to working.
00:04:51So, let me know if you have any questions.
00:04:52Go team, go.
00:04:57Okay, guys, what we got?
00:04:58Yes, sir.
00:04:59What we got?
00:04:59What we got?
00:05:00Uh, so I want to make sure that, like, I amplify that I'm a judo guy.
00:05:04And I'll amplify that I'm a smart guy.
00:05:06All right.
00:05:08As soon as we find a ring, we want to see this.
00:05:12Coach Bloom told me to be myself.
00:05:15They want me to implement my judo skills into pro wrestling.
00:05:18So, I'm trying to find the in-between.
00:05:19Okay, no, no.
00:05:21You hit him with the judo throw, bang.
00:05:23I need you to come back, and I need you to hit him with a move now.
00:05:27Bang, a wrestling move.
00:05:28Got you, okay?
00:05:29J.D., he seems a little disconnected.
00:05:31He's been a judo guy forever.
00:05:34Hot shot, bang!
00:05:35Professional wrestling, there's a lot of theatrics that's involved.
00:05:39But it's just a matter of putting it all together.
00:05:41So, judo throw one, judo throw two.
00:05:44I'll put you up.
00:05:44Okay.
00:05:45Body slam.
00:05:46Body slam is fine for me.
00:05:48Okay, that's what I need you to do right there.
00:05:50Booker's very good on the little things that make a match.
00:05:53So, I think that's something that opened my eyes a little bit more.
00:05:58All right.
00:05:58I need my homework on you, Shady.
00:06:01Braxton Cole's character right now is he's a smart guy.
00:06:04He's a college kid.
00:06:06He's a scholar.
00:06:06He's a professor.
00:06:08Hey.
00:06:09Watch it.
00:06:11See, I need you to look smart, Braxton, but I don't need Shady to look stupid.
00:06:16I need you to be healed as opposed to being smarter than a baby face.
00:06:20He gave a lot of really good advice, really good tips, and really good things to think about going into
00:06:25the match.
00:06:28Yeah, I started coming out with a book.
00:06:30Maybe my second match.
00:06:31And it's kind of been a thing.
00:06:33Make it kind of unique to each match.
00:06:35When I think about Shady, you know, he's the judo guy.
00:06:38The judo one just felt appropriate, and I think it helped create the story that we were trying to tell.
00:06:52The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
00:06:56Introducing first, from Alexandria, Egypt, weighing at 240 pounds, Shady Bouda Haas.
00:07:05Well, this is an individual who has quite the fighting background, but how is that going to translate to a
00:07:12WWE ring?
00:07:13Yeah, let's see what this guy got, man.
00:07:16Shady is in action right after this.

00:10:54You're looking at the death penalty.
00:10:58I can't even think right now.
00:10:59Accused, Guilty or Innocence. New episodes Thursday at 9.
00:11:02Part of Crime and Investigation on A&E.
00:11:04Watch next day on the A&E app.
00:11:07The action continuing here on LFG.
00:11:14Rear.
00:11:14Rear.
00:11:16And his opponent from Ghost Town New Hatcher.
00:11:19Wigging at 240 pounds.
00:11:22Braxton.
00:11:23Cole.
00:11:25I didn't necessarily get to see all of the cover, but it looks like he's trying to learn that being
00:11:30Braxton how to counter judo, which certainly would help him in this matchup.
00:11:34But isn't that something he should have been looking into a couple of weeks ago?
00:11:37Well, I think if you know Braxton, he's always studying 24-7.
00:11:40The man always has the book with him.
00:11:41He's always reading up on the latest facts that he can apply to what he does in the ring.
00:11:46And when the bell rings, this is a great athlete that's developing right before our very own eyes.
00:11:51He's also somebody who is easy to naturally dislike.
00:11:57You would know about that?
00:11:58Smugness.
00:11:58I mean, yes.
00:11:59But, again, I'm not the size of this man.
00:12:02I don't walk around like this man does.
00:12:03He thinks he's better than everybody.
00:12:05There's a hint of arrogance surrounding him, and I don't mean the spray.
00:12:09I do think that when you have an opponent like Shady, you've got to go in with all guns blazing
00:12:15because Shady has a very different approach.
00:12:17You talk about polar opposites in terms of personality.
00:12:19We're going to see that on display here.
00:12:21Braxton Cole, arrogant, cocky, no doubt about it.
00:12:24Whereas Shady kind of brings a cool, calm, and collected presentation to his in-ring performance.
00:12:31Well, you see those here watching live action, and they're getting right into the skin of Braxton just a little
00:12:37bit.
00:12:38But when it comes to Shady, you see he's stepping into the ring.
00:12:40He does seem to be, I would say, at peace for a moment with himself as a quick submission.
00:12:47Braxton getting right into the bottom rope, and it might be not really knowing the whereabouts of where you're at
00:12:52in the ring.
00:12:53Obviously, there's a different style, a different setting than Shady is used to.
00:12:57Once again, Braxton going to the outside to those here among the Denver universe who might be going right back
00:13:02to study in a little bit.
00:13:04Look at his body language.
00:13:05It's just not there.
00:13:07It's just moving around.
00:13:08It's kind of standing around.
00:13:09Yeah, it's not real.
00:13:11And you can hear the instant reactions from the legends in the back.
00:13:15Booker T keeping his eye on this match-up and starting to question some of the antics of these two
00:13:21in the ring.
00:13:22And that's why I go back to saying when it comes to Shady, he just looks calm, that he's just
00:13:26out there ready to fight, ready for anything to happen.
00:13:29Well, that's not as stiff, maybe I should put it, as Braxton.
00:13:31Well, Braxton pretty much comes in with a great athletic background.
00:13:34There's no question about it.
00:13:36Shady a little bit different of a background where he was brought up, obviously, all the way up to here
00:13:40at the Performance Center where he's implemented his style, his knowledge, as you can see here.
00:13:45Going right back into another submission for the second time, trying to get that arm bar, shifting weight, shoulders down,
00:13:50and a quick kick out right back up and right back down with another toss.
00:13:55This is everything Braxton apparently was studying to try to counter.
00:13:58Just gets hoisted up in a big body slam.
00:14:02Cover, quick, hook of a leg, and a kick out.
00:14:05Well, there's certainly a lot of studying going on, but those judo-style arm drags look pretty good.
00:14:11No lessons could be learned like while it happens in the ring.
00:14:16This is going to be a hard lesson maybe for Shady on the outside here with Braxton.
00:14:20Braxton feeling the effects early on with the left elbow, the left shoulder, trying to rub some feeling into it.
00:14:27Someone who we've seen here on LFG has seen him around the Performance Center very easily.
00:14:32One that likes to speak his mind, does not care about ramifications for his actions.
00:14:38Doesn't really care what others think about him and is not afraid to cut a corn.
00:14:43This is the second match we're seeing for Shady in LFG competition here.
00:14:48First one we saw against Anthony did well, but now it's going to be an opportunity for him to show
00:14:53what he's all about.
00:14:53And he needs to show Shawn Michaels that, and right now he's showing that he can take a beating.
00:14:59Cover, and another kick out.
00:15:00And again, when it comes to Shawn Michaels, it comes to head coach of the Performance Center, Matt Bloom.
00:15:06They're all watching this very closely.
00:15:07They all dissect every little thing, and you know that, JB.
00:15:11Even from the way someone just walks through the curtains, the way they get in the ring,
00:15:15to the way if something goes awry, how they handle themselves.
00:15:18Well, certainly you've got to expect the unexpected to be ready for anything.
00:15:22And that's part of the development.
00:15:23That's part of what we're seeing every week here on LFG is that development in action, courtesy of our legends.
00:15:29And if you go back to the debut this year, this season of Season 3 of LFG,
00:15:35a life and a career can change in a matter of a moment, and perhaps this match can change.
00:15:40Right here is Shady, took a little too much time.
00:15:49Cole executing that neck breaker.
00:15:51A little hangman style.
00:15:52Is this going to be enough?
00:15:53Into the cover, and that right shoulder coming off the mat.
00:15:56We saw so much great advice from Booker T in this episode from Braxton Cole.
00:15:59What do you think Booker brings to the table as a legend, as a coach, as a mentor,
00:16:03as somebody who's spent more time with Booker than anybody around him?
00:16:05Well, JB, look, when it comes to Booker T, when he preaches something, when he speaks, you want to listen.
00:16:10He is a man who has done more in this business than a lot will ever get a chance to
00:16:14say that they've done.
00:16:15Look how long he's been around, so you talk about longevity.
00:16:18Take a look at all the premier matches he's had, WrestleMania, main events, even all the championships he's won, six
00:16:23world titles.
00:16:24He says something to you, you should write it down, you should take it home, and you should study it.
00:16:29And hopefully, that's what everyone is doing here at Legends and Future Greats.
00:16:38And this, I think, would be big for Shady. If he's able to get a win, if he's able to
00:16:41pick up some momentum.
00:16:43That's a great combination there from Shady and certainly in the driver's seat for this one.
00:16:48Oh, wow, unique.
00:16:50Not able to get it done, didn't know about the worst of the counter on that, but it was a
00:16:54nice takedown by Shady.
00:16:56Braxton right now seems to be on Dream Street and going for the third time.
00:17:00Will it be the charm, trying to get that submission locked in? Arm is extended, JB.
00:17:04This could do it.
00:17:06And look at the positioning.
00:17:07Braxton far away from that bottom rope.
00:17:10Is Cole going to tap?
00:17:13Shift and wait for a moment.
00:17:14Had to kick out, relinquish the hold to continue this match.
00:17:17Back up and, oh!
00:17:20Throat first goes Shady.
00:17:22Turns right around.
00:17:23And for Braxton Cole.
00:17:26High impact offense, center of the ring.
00:17:30Cole, victorious.
00:17:32Here is your winner, Braxton Cole!
00:17:37Shady lacked a little, uh, intent and intensity, I think.
00:17:43The future greats will hear from the coaches when we come back.
00:17:48In Seattle, we had already dealt with Ted Bundy.
00:17:50Now we have a second serial killer.
00:17:52Almost two dozen young women dead, the victims of the Green River Killer.
00:17:56There are no clues, no motives.
00:17:59It's like finding a needle in a haystack.
00:18:03In my opinion, this is the guy who's killing his home.
00:18:06This is an obsession.
00:18:08I'm going to keep that up.
00:18:09You pay attention.
00:18:11Ted Bundy Dialogue with the Devil premieres Thursday, September 3rd.
00:18:15Part of Crime and Investigation, only on A&E.
00:18:18This is Zack.
00:18:19He's a social media influencer.
00:18:22There's a lot young homeowners don't understand about the internet.
00:18:26People just watch you watching videos?
00:18:28Yeah, it's a reaction video.
00:18:30You must be good at reacting to videos.
00:18:32Yeah.
00:18:32What are you doing there?
00:18:33Oh, this is me trying on hats.
00:18:35So you sell hats?
00:18:36Uh, no.
00:18:37So you work for the thrift store?
00:18:38I was just trying them on, film myself.
00:18:40Why'd you do that?

00:18:43but we can't save you money when you bundle home an auto with us.

00:19:07Try eight crunchy butterfly shrimp served classic or dusted in bold Popeyes seasonings.
00:19:12Now available on Faves for only five bucks.
00:19:15Love that chicken from Popeyes.
00:19:18This little light of mine has been dark for quite some time.
00:19:25Then I let in the light to help see more of the light inside of me.
00:19:32I needed more from my antidepressant.
00:19:34So my doctor added Kaplyta.
00:19:36Proven to provide greater relief from depression symptoms than an antidepressant alone.
00:19:40Building on my progress without starting over.
00:19:43Weight gain and reported sexual side effects were not common.
00:19:45Elderly dementia patients have increased risk of death or stroke.
00:19:49Kaplyta is not approved for dementia related psychosis.
00:19:51Call your doctor about new or sudden mood changes, behaviors, or suicidal thoughts right away.
00:19:55Antidepressants may increase these risks.
00:19:57Report fever, confusion, stiff muscles, which may be life threatening, or uncontrolled muscle movements, which may be permanent.
00:20:02High cholesterol and weight gain may occur, as can high blood sugar, which may be fatal.
00:20:06Common side effects are sleepiness, dizziness, nausea, dry mouth, feeling tired, and diarrhea.
00:20:10These aren't all the side effects.
00:20:11Ask your doctor about Kaplyta.
00:20:13Help see more of the light inside of me.
00:20:18The closest thing to fresh air in this office is your boss's screensaver.

00:20:48I just got it using free cash.

00:21:34Here is your winner, Drexion Cole!
00:21:43Okay, how'd you feel, how'd you guys feel about it?
00:21:46Uh, I could have done my d*** way cleaner if I was like.
00:21:49Well, I thought your intensity could have been up a little bit.
00:21:51Yeah, urgency, urgency.
00:21:52Good intensity.
00:21:53Just like when he rolled out of the ring that one time.
00:22:00I need your action to go get him.
00:22:02If the referee pushed you back, then you give me this.
00:22:05But I need your aggression first.
00:22:08The thing that Coach Booker told me was just a little bit more urgency
00:22:11when I'm hitting my comeback or when I'm in the ring.
00:22:14I have to think to have the mentality in judo,
00:22:17if I'm down a point and there's 30 seconds on the clock,
00:22:19what would I do?
00:22:20So I kind of need to bring that into pro wrestling.
00:22:24It felt like we had the crowd.
00:22:25Y'all, no, no. Y'all had him.
00:22:27Y'all did everything I asked you to do, but I just need you to...
00:22:30More.
00:22:30I need more.
00:22:31Yes, sir.
00:22:31You know what I mean?
00:22:32Given where we're at, how long we've been here,
00:22:35I thought it was my best rep, personally, on my end.
00:22:38It was more when I talked to, like, Coach Bloom,
00:22:41he kind of dug in a little bit more.
00:22:43Nice job.
00:22:44Nice job.
00:22:44You're stringing something together right now
00:22:45that I can sink my teeth into.
00:22:46I like it.
00:22:47I can feel it.
00:22:48Hey, have some fun with that wiener chant.
00:22:57I want you to feel comfortable enough to try something
00:23:00that might be out.
00:23:00Like, you roll out of the ring and you walk...
00:23:02I don't know what you do.
00:23:03So, like, yeah, you can just block your ears
00:23:05and walk around and say, no, no, no.
00:23:06Or you can try whatever pops into your head.
00:23:10Cleaner!
00:23:11Cleaner!
00:23:11But if you don't take a chance,
00:23:13we're never going to know how far you can push it.
00:23:15Yes.
00:23:15If there's any place that it's okay to feel...
00:23:18It's right here.
00:23:18You know what I mean?
00:23:19It's okay.
00:23:20Let's see what else I got here.
00:23:22Your face is down a lot in your cell, man.
00:23:26You're pretty.
00:23:27Let them see that you're in trouble and pretty.
00:23:29All right?
00:23:29Yup.
00:23:30But I can't tell you're pretty.
00:23:31Yeah, all I can tell is that you're balding
00:23:32when you're looking down.
00:23:34Not that bad.
00:23:35It's a solid match.
00:23:37I thought this was a really good, actually, LFG.
00:23:38One of the better ones I've seen.
00:23:39So, nice job, man.
00:23:41So, we're at Brax.
00:23:42Nice job, man.
00:23:42Nice job.
00:23:44First of all, Coach Boom said I had a bald spot.
00:23:46That's not real.
00:23:47That's not true.
00:23:49But it's always good to hear positive feedback
00:23:51because good feedback makes me motivated.
00:23:54And, of course, hearing negative feedback
00:23:55will still make me motivated to get better.
00:23:57But I feel like I'm spreading my wings now
00:23:58and this is just the beginning.
00:24:06All right, boys.
00:24:07Want to talk about it?
00:24:09Today I'm working with Malik Blade and Chris Island.
00:24:11My first time working with either of them.
00:24:13But I'm looking forward to it.
00:24:14They're kind of looking for the same from both you guys
00:24:17in a way that they're just, tell the audience more who you are,
00:24:20what you're about, which I think they're waiting to see something
00:24:22from both you guys that makes them go, oh, there it is.
00:24:25And it seems like they maybe haven't seen that yet.
00:24:28You want people to tell the audience more who you are,
00:24:30if they tune in and they see you within 30 seconds,
00:24:33you want them to have a pretty good idea of who they're watching
00:24:35and what you're about.
00:24:36You can do a lot of really athletic ,
00:24:38but a lot of guys can do a lot of athletic .
00:24:40So you have to kind of find something else to set you apart
00:24:44from those guys.
00:24:45You know what I mean?
00:24:45You know, you get Booker, you get Bubba.
00:24:48All these people have the knowledge,
00:24:50and they've been here for so long.
00:24:51And then you have somebody like K.O.,
00:24:53who is current to give you what main roster wants
00:24:56and how, you know, we can implement some of the stuff
00:24:58that coaches here are telling us to do,
00:25:00but also implement what he is literally actively doing.
00:25:03Hey, Chris, also one thing is that you wrestle in jeans,
00:25:06but you have the amateur wrestling background.
00:25:08So, you know, like, the fact that you're in jeans
00:25:10kind of inspires more of a , you know, gritty.
00:25:14You know what I mean?
00:25:15You look like a street fighter,
00:25:16and you're able to be nitty-gritty,
00:25:17but also you're a great amateur wrestler.
00:25:20It's like you're trying to check too many boxes.
00:25:23You know what I mean?
00:25:24If we're being real,
00:25:25there was a conversation about my singlet.
00:25:27There was a conversation about my karate pants.
00:25:30Now there's a conversation about my jeans.
00:25:32If I keep trying to do what everyone else
00:25:35is trying to tell me to do,
00:25:36I'll never actually show myself to the world.
00:25:39Keep it in mind, I don't know.
00:25:41Maybe I'm doing more harm than good.
00:25:42I don't know.
00:25:43I'll be around.
00:25:44I appreciate that.
00:25:45I know who I am.
00:25:46I know how I look.
00:25:47I know how I want to move.
00:25:48I know how I want to talk.
00:25:49There's no more time for Chris Island figuring it out,
00:25:52Chris Island getting it together.
00:25:55It's time for Chris Island to settle in.
00:26:00Be safe.
00:26:01You're a good one.
00:26:02Please be safe, guys, okay?
00:26:03More importantly than anything.
00:26:04This is life.
00:26:06This is life.
00:26:06We put a lot of sway to tears in this.
00:26:12The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
00:26:16Introducing first, from Vacaville, California,
00:26:19weighing at 240 pounds, Chris Payland.

00:26:46It's Mr. Clean.
00:26:47Since the dawn of time, man has been plagued by itch and irritation from not wiping clean.
00:26:52What man didn't realize is that wetter cleans better.
00:26:55See how wet dude wipes completely clears while dry teepee smears?
00:26:58Ditch the itch and switch to wet extra large dude wipes for the best clean.
00:27:02Pants down.

00:29:18Painting can be a pain.
00:29:20This doesn't look good.
00:29:21How much do we spend at that paint store?
00:29:23Way too much.

00:29:53Hey!
00:29:54He's in the bottle!
00:29:55Please!
00:29:55Put your hands up!
00:29:56He needs to tell us what we need to know.
00:29:58I got a cool high innocence.
00:30:00That's when I fired the shot.
00:30:01I want to be with my family.
00:30:03It's a living hell.
00:30:04We've got him in custody.
00:30:06All rise to the jury.
00:30:07Scott Peterson was an old calculating person.

00:30:20We are back on LFG.
00:30:28And his opponent, from Orlando, Florida, weighing at 200 pounds, Malik Blade!
00:30:38Well, for Malik Blade, we've seen him in tag teams in the past.
00:30:41It seems that he's finally taken upon himself to shine on his own.
00:30:45He certainly has.
00:30:47And one thing that we've seen is, you know, obviously an experience factor that's been great for Malik Blade.
00:30:51But now it's just a matter of, can he do the right thing?
00:30:54Can he catch the eye of the heartbreak kid Shawn Michaels?
00:30:57That's what this is all about and earn that spot on NXT.
00:31:01Now you can take a look at these two as they get ready to lock up here as LFG's been
00:31:05rolling on.
00:31:06What a way to start things.
00:31:07Huge main events still to come.
00:31:08Our women take center stage.
00:31:09Looking forward to that.
00:31:10But when this comes to this matchup specifically, and these two, there's a...
00:31:15I don't know if you feel it.
00:31:16There seems to be a little tension in the air.
00:31:19Some would say these two could be on the bubble.
00:31:21Well, certainly what we've seen is progression.
00:31:24The question is, has it been enough progression over the course of time?
00:31:27Have we seen enough development that Shawn Michaels, the heartbreak kid,
00:31:31wants to put stock and bat on these two carrying NXT?
00:31:34Ooh.
00:31:36Now Malik, obviously, so much physical ability in the ring.
00:31:41Chris Island just, when it gets time to step it in the ring.
00:31:46One second.
00:31:46Up, over.
00:31:47Oh, dear Paul didn't mean to cut you off there, JV.
00:31:49He just tends to fall short a little bit sometimes when it's showtime.
00:31:52That's the thing.
00:31:53How we looking, man?
00:31:55So far so good.
00:31:55How we looking.
00:31:57Talk about tension, too.
00:31:58I mean, it's got to be a little uneasy for these two athletes to step through the curtain,
00:32:02get into the ring, not only with the peers that are here,
00:32:05but also those three individuals you see that are looking on.
00:32:08And you know, you know better than I do.
00:32:11Those three aren't going to hold back their feelings.
00:32:14If it's bad, it's bad.
00:32:15If it's good, it's good.
00:32:16They are not going to sugarcoat anything.
00:32:18I don't think the adjective sensitive has ever been in front of the name of Booker T,
00:32:23Bubba Ray Dudley, or of course KO Kevin Owens.
00:32:26But one thing that they are can be brutally honest,
00:32:28which I think is to the advantage of these future greats trying to compete for a spot in exit.
00:32:39This is Chris Island holding on here and a little bit, uh, when we talk about Chris Island,
00:32:43we always talk about the unique ability of what he's wearing as he gets right back up and goes right
00:32:48back down.
00:32:51What is that?
00:32:53He's trying to recreate the, like, amateur wrestling takedown that Chris gave him earlier, but it's not really, uh,
00:33:02wasn't translating very well.
00:33:04Hard to argue with what the legends just said.
00:33:07I always love hearing the insights, the coaching.
00:33:10That's what makes LNG so unique.
00:33:12You get that real-time observations from guys that have been there, done that, main-evented this,
00:33:19main-evented that all over the world.
00:33:20WrestleMania, Summer Slams, list goes on.
00:33:23It's just getting tossed.
00:33:25This time was Blade.
00:33:27Right back in comes Chris Island with a massive backbreaker.
00:33:31And this is what you talk about when practice.
00:33:33He can do it all.
00:33:35But can he put it all together?
00:33:37And I think there's a lot underlining of that statement, putting it all together,
00:33:42the look, the feel, the presentation.
00:33:44It certainly is.
00:33:45And when you have a guy like Kevin Owens coaching you, you have to, you know,
00:33:49he's specifically aware of what they're saying and implementing it.
00:33:52Obviously, they take this very personally.
00:33:54And they want to see their time, their investment in this talent pay off
00:33:58just as much as the talent themselves.
00:34:00Well, Chris Island now trying to drive the air out of Malik Blade's lung.
00:34:03And what we've seen from Malik Blade in the past is the high-flying ability.
00:34:08But he has been grounded right now.
00:34:11Malik! Malik! Malik! Malik! Malik! Malik!
00:34:16You're weak! Malik! You're weak! You're weak!
00:34:20Chris Island taking a little twist on the audience chants there.
00:34:23Well, you know what?
00:34:24That's part of maybe playing the mind games here in the WWE ring.
00:34:28There's no energy. Nothing.
00:34:31He's dead. Both of them.
00:34:33Yeah.
00:34:33Malik! You're weak!
00:34:35Malik is trying to sell, but...
00:34:40Just looks so frickin'...
00:34:42Just dead.
00:34:43Yeah.
00:34:44No real action.
00:34:47Right back up.
00:34:48Big right hand.
00:34:49Malik now.
00:34:50Probably didn't take too kindly to the things that were being said by Chris Island moments ago.
00:34:54Nice dropkick.
00:34:55Certainly gets up.
00:34:56This is that high-flying ability we're talking about.
00:34:57But again, just like with Chris Island, having to put it all together.
00:35:01Big fisherman suplex.
00:35:03He's fired up, JB.
00:35:05Showing some fire and one thing I do like.
00:35:06Here's a cover.
00:35:09You know, when we get to hear Booker T, when we get to hear Kevin Owens or Bubba make their
00:35:13observations,
00:35:14we get to hear it real-time.
00:35:15You can bet these two are gonna hear it after the match.
00:35:19These two are gonna get every bit of an earful that we're getting and then some.
00:35:22Oh.
00:35:23Including things they probably can't even say on this show sometimes.
00:35:26Not especially from somebody like Booker T or Bubba.
00:35:29Chris Island, I don't know if he notices, JB.
00:35:30Looked out into those that are here watching this matchup.
00:35:34Took his eye off the ball for a moment.
00:35:36Malik getting right back into it.
00:35:37Another dropkick.
00:35:38Great display of athleticism from Malik Blade.
00:35:41He's such a high vertical leap that he's able to use to his advantage.
00:35:45As we just saw there, taking Chris Island right off the top.
00:35:48Now needs to capitalize on this situation.
00:35:51Look, the top rope isn't home for Chris Island.
00:35:53But it is for Malik Blade.
00:35:56Hits that frog, splash, and picks up the victory.
00:36:01Here is your winner, Malik Blade!
00:36:06How good it must feel for Malik.
00:36:09But as you said, what is going to be said to these two athletes following this match?
00:36:18You are charged with capital murder?
00:36:21I don't want to go to prison.
00:36:26I can't even think right now.
00:36:28Accused guilty or innocent.

00:36:33Tools from Harbor Freight are doing hard work in real garages across America.
00:36:38Like at Niko's automotive shop in Des Plaines, Illinois.
00:36:41Where his Daytona Jack does all the heavy lifting.
00:36:44His Hercules impact wrench makes quick work of tough jobs.
00:36:48And his icon torque wrench keeps every bolt honest.
00:36:51Niko demands affordable tools that don't quit.
00:36:54Because he never quits until the job's done.
00:36:58Harbor Freight. Built for tool people.
00:37:00Like me.
00:37:03Since the dawn of time, man has been plagued by itch and irritation from not wiping clean.
00:37:08What man didn't realize is that wetter cleans better.
00:37:11See how wet dude wipes completely clears while dry teepee smears?
00:37:13Ditch the itch and switch to wet extra large dude wipes for the best clean pants down.
00:37:18Houses can be a lot like lungs.
00:37:20Where they seem to be one thing until you take a look inside.
00:37:24Especially if you're living with COPD or asthma.
00:37:28And still have symptoms like a wet cough with mucus that's hard to clear.
00:37:32And infections that keep coming back.
00:37:34For some people like my mom, these symptoms can point to bronchiectasis.
00:37:39A CT scan of your lungs can help you get a deeper look.
00:37:42Talk to a pulmonologist to find out if it's bronchiectasis.

00:40:17Fully Blaine.
00:40:17Feeling alright?
00:40:17Yeah.
00:40:19Okay.
00:40:20So, it lacked a lot of energy.
00:40:22Okay.
00:40:23Like a lot.
00:40:24The best thing you did in the match, in my opinion, was right before the finish when
00:40:29you ducked and clotheslined them.
00:40:30Yeah.
00:40:31That was the most...
00:40:32Like energy.
00:40:33Energy but it's also just...
00:40:35Body layers.
00:40:35Yeah.
00:40:36Yeah. To me, you come across as a little, almost timid.
00:40:39All right.
00:40:40Well, like, when you come out, even at your entrance, right?
00:40:42Like, when you come out, this is your house, right?
00:40:44I feel like you're not owning that, you know?
00:40:46It's like you're kind of arrogant as a heel, but not really that arrogant.
00:40:51Okay. He just wants more, and I agree.
00:40:54I mean, I need to do more every... It's the same thing every time.
00:40:57It's, like, not enough for me to really hate you.
00:40:59Heard.
00:41:00And then you come out, and you're the same kind of thing.
00:41:03Like, you're not energetic enough.
00:41:05Like, they were doing the Malik the Freak thing.
00:41:07Malik the Freak.
00:41:09And it sounds stupid, but, dude, own that.
00:41:12It's confidence. It really boils down to that.
00:41:15Like, you have to be confident in yourself when you're in the ring,
00:41:17because then everything you do will come across more genuine,
00:41:20because, you know, you're doing something right.
00:41:22It is there, but you've got to find those two or three seconds
00:41:25where you used it there and pull it out.
00:41:27Good stuff, guys.
00:41:29The truth is, you never stop learning in any business,
00:41:32including wrestling.
00:41:33You only get better through, you know, watching it with people
00:41:36and getting different opinions, so that's very valuable.
00:41:39You got me with a lock-up.
00:41:40It was a good lock-up.
00:41:41And then you got me with the hammer lock.
00:41:44Nice settling when Malik took over.
00:41:46We had a little beginning bit where Chris, you know,
00:41:48was, you know, working his hold on me,
00:41:49and I'm like, I'm trying to get out, trying to get out.
00:41:51Until people finally get behind me, I get it back,
00:41:53and we have all the energy.
00:41:54And that's the big thing that Coach Bloom is, you know,
00:41:56harping on for baby faces.
00:41:58You had the people, you ran through a nice little comeback,
00:42:00you got a cover, one, two, kick out,
00:42:02and then your energy just dropped.
00:42:05Oh, okay.
00:42:06And that's who they're feeding off of.
00:42:08You got to get up and be like, come on, get up,
00:42:11and you got to get to the next spot.
00:42:12You hook them, you put them up top.
00:42:14Keep that energy so they can feed off that,
00:42:15because you had them.
00:42:16Okay.
00:42:17Now the trick is keeping them.
00:42:18Keeping them.
00:42:19Does that make sense?
00:42:20Was that you with Malika's week, Chad?
00:42:22Yeah.
00:42:23Was that you?
00:42:25Malik!
00:42:25You're weak!
00:42:27Malik!
00:42:29Consistent now, man.
00:42:30He likes the direction I'm going in,
00:42:32and now it's all about consistency for him.
00:42:34You know what I'm saying?
00:42:34I need to be able to show up every week
00:42:36and perform for him.
00:42:37I like this guy.
00:42:38I like this guy.
00:42:39Appreciate you, Coach.
00:42:40All right, man.
00:42:40Nice job.
00:42:41Nice job.
00:42:43I could get fired.
00:42:44I could get let go.
00:42:45I could never see NXT.
00:42:46Every match, I need to get better,
00:42:48and that's all I can think about.
00:42:55Here she comes.
00:42:56Hey.
00:42:58Of course you'd get your name on your car.
00:43:00Of course I did, in Tristan Angel style.
00:43:02What do you think?
00:43:03You got the wings, Mr. England on the back.
00:43:05Very, very interesting.
00:43:06Speaking of names,
00:43:07I just heard from Russo,
00:43:09I finally got my name.
00:43:10Micah Lockwood.
00:43:12Fire, right?
00:43:13You're happy with it?
00:43:14Yes.
00:43:14You're not going to double check anything?
00:43:16No, I debut it tonight.
00:43:17Debut it tonight.
00:43:18Mm-hmm.
00:43:18Official.
00:43:19Yes.
00:43:20Speaking of so, I got to go prep, bro.
00:43:21Whoa.
00:43:22Let me know if you need a...
00:43:23But, for sure.
00:43:24This, fire though.
00:43:25Oh, well.
00:43:25Good for you.
00:43:26Good for you.
00:43:33This is expensive.
00:43:38P.J. Vassa?
00:43:41Yes, sir.
00:43:42Versus...
00:43:43No!
00:43:49Versus...
00:43:49Micah Lockwood.
00:43:52How are you digging the name?
00:43:54I love it.
00:43:55Was it obvious to you that Micah Lockwood was the name?
00:43:57Yes, to me.
00:43:58Okay.
00:43:58Exactly.
00:43:59Like, literally, he said the two,
00:44:00and I was like,
00:44:01no, that's the one.
00:44:02Okay.
00:44:04Micah.
00:44:06Micah.
00:44:07Micah.
00:44:08I can hear the fans chanting her name now.
00:44:13Do either one of you carry any type of fear in the ring?
00:44:18Absolutely.
00:44:18Yeah.
00:44:19What's your fear?
00:44:20I think I fear mostly what happens on the back
00:44:23when you walk through the curtains.
00:44:24So, you're worried about how Sean is going to react?
00:44:27Yeah.
00:44:28That's your fear?
00:44:28Yeah.
00:44:29Okay.
00:44:30Good answer.
00:44:31What's your fear?
00:44:32I think my fear is, honestly,
00:44:35having any regrets.
00:44:36Could I have done more?
00:44:37What if?
00:44:38Could I, like, just a little bit of, like, doubt?
00:44:40And then it's like,
00:44:41could that rep have been better if I had done this,
00:44:43or whatever?
00:44:44Would Sean have been happier if I did this or that?
00:44:46So, I would say that's more of my fear.
00:44:47Okay.
00:44:47My fear.
00:44:48Fear.
00:44:50It is the fear
00:44:52that will always have you second-guessing yourself.
00:44:57You have to take it,
00:44:59and you have to get rid of it quickly.
00:45:02How close are these two women to taking the next step?
00:45:06Can they get there?
00:45:08I think they can.
00:45:11I think they can.
00:45:38palatable intensity from the both of you.
00:45:42Yes, sir.
00:45:43Thank you, sir.
00:45:43All right.
00:45:44Go get them.
00:45:45There you go.
00:45:45Yep, you got it.
00:45:46You got it.
00:45:52You guys are going to get the rawest version of me,
00:45:54and I'm not going to be sorry for anything,
00:45:56because this is what the people want to see.
00:45:57They want to see raw, organic emotion.
00:45:59They want to see something real.
00:46:01I'm okay with being a bad man.
00:46:03I never wanted to be life to begin with.
00:46:06I honestly did feel a little bit more pressure this go-around,
00:46:09because I'm reintroducing who I am as Micah,
00:46:13and I'm still trying to figure out who that is,
00:46:15and how can I show that to the crowd?
00:46:21It's once again time for the lights to be bright
00:46:24and shine on our superstars here
00:46:26in the main event of Legends and Future Greats.
00:46:30Welcome in ringside, Vic Joseph,
00:46:32alongside with a living legend,
00:46:33and, of course, seeing Jeremy Boras and JB,
00:46:36the women, take center stage in our main event tonight.
00:46:38Bubba Ray Dudley at the helm on this one.
00:46:40We've seen it in the evolution of his coaching along the way.
00:46:44This is going to be his first opportunity
00:46:45to coach E.J. Vassa in three seasons of LFG.
00:46:49Some very interesting observations
00:46:51coming from the Hall of Famer Bubba Ray Dudley
00:46:53in this matchup, but it's a new beginning for her opponent.
00:46:56We're about to find out why momentarily.
00:47:00Larger than life.
00:47:02The attitude's got to match the look.
00:47:04Be a bad mother...
00:47:16The following contest is scheduled 4-1-4.
00:47:21Introducing first, from Chandler, Arizona,
00:47:25Micah Lockwood!
00:47:30Doesn't matter the name.
00:47:32Still an intimidating force to be reckoned with.
00:47:36Micah Lockwood takes on E.J. Vassa up next.
00:47:40Since the dawn of time, man has been plagued by itch and irritation
00:47:43from not wiping clean.
00:47:45What man didn't realize is that wetter cleans better.
00:47:48See how wet dude wipes completely clears while dry teepee smears?
00:47:51Ditch the itch and switch to wet extra large dude wipes
00:47:54for the best clean.
00:47:55When you give someone your word, you keep it.
00:47:58When you guarantee you'll be there, you show up.
00:48:01When you pledge to protect someone, you do it.
00:48:05Over a hundred years ago, a group of soldiers made those promises
00:48:09when they started USAA.
00:48:11And today, we're still taking care of those who served,
00:48:14their spouses, kids, and then grandkids.
00:48:18Because we're doing more than insurance and banking.
00:48:22USAA.
00:48:23Taking care of our own.

00:50:55In Seattle, we had already dealt with Ted Bundy.
00:50:57Now we have a second serial killer.
00:51:00There are no clues, no motives.
00:51:02Like finding a needle in a haystack.
00:51:08Ted Bundy dialogue with the devil premieres Thursday, September 3rd.
00:51:12Part of crime and investigation only on A&E.
00:51:15When people come into jail, there's a lot of stories that are told.
00:51:18Let me give the breakdown.
00:51:20I was doing 15 in the 25th.
00:51:22And this is the first time I've ever been arrested.
00:51:2624-7.
00:51:27You never know what you're going to get on any given day.
00:51:29Booked.
00:51:29First day in.
00:51:30New season premieres Wednesday at 9.
00:51:32Part of crime and investigation only on A&E.
00:51:38Go get him, PJ.
00:51:40Go get him.
00:51:41Go get him.
00:51:43I want that green.
00:51:44It's main event time here on LFG.
00:51:51And her opponent from Seattle, Washington, PJ Vassa.
00:51:58Talk about scoops.
00:51:59What's the scoop on PJ Vassa?
00:52:02How did that look like she could kick her ass with just her eyes?
00:52:05Look at the look that she came out here with tonight.
00:52:08Seriously fired up by Bubba Ray Dudley on the way out.
00:52:11Love to see it.
00:52:12These two are about to lock horns in a, I dare say, veteran matchup between two LFG season
00:52:22three veterans.
00:52:24Been a part of all this since the good go.
00:52:25We've done three seasons, right?
00:52:27That's it.
00:52:28However many episodes.
00:52:29And I don't think we've ever had this sort of tension from those that are in the audience.
00:52:37I mean, we are seeing the makings of what one day on a Tuesday night could be the main
00:52:41event of an NXT.
00:52:42What one night could be the main event of a premium live event.
00:52:45That is the ceiling for these two women.
00:52:47This is like getting to see the band you saw back in the bars playing stadium.
00:52:52You know, like back in the day, you see the very first chapter in the evolution of their
00:52:56story.
00:52:57And we're seeing it play out right before our very own eyes here on LFG.
00:53:00And look at the way Michael Lockwood just got right up from that body slam.
00:53:06And look at PJ popping right back up.
00:53:08And PJ not used to being thrown around like this.
00:53:11And that's something that's going to be, we're going to keep our eye on because PJ Vassa
00:53:15isn't used to being, I want to steal your phrase, dare I say, a smaller competitor.
00:53:20Well, you certainly would say that, but the size, both these women know how to use their
00:53:26power to their advantage.
00:53:28Obviously a rugby background for PJ Vassa.
00:53:31You know, she's tough as nails and Bailey Humphries, now Michael Lockwood has seen
00:53:36an incredible growth over the course of her three seasons here on LFG.
00:53:44She has been on a journey from the day she arrived here at the Performing Center, coached
00:53:50by the Undertaker, coached by Coach Matt Bloom and Bubba and Booker and all the great coaches
00:53:56we've seen lend their knowledge to her progress.
00:54:02Lockwood knocked over the top rope, PJ Vassa no doubt going right after her.
00:54:06And now the referee's going to have his hands full in this matchup.
00:54:09What a main event this is.
00:54:10Great main event, but one thing we can say about Michael Lockwood is that she's never
00:54:14stopped that growth.
00:54:16She's never stopped learning and evolving and continuing to show that she is on the right
00:54:23path of stardom.
00:54:29There's certainly one way to isolate Lockwood's power by just using your own, and I can ask
00:54:34the same question I said about PJ Vassa.
00:54:37Lockwood isn't used to being, as we get a cover and a kickout, not used to being picked up,
00:54:41slam, thrown around.
00:54:42Match power for power, move for move.
00:54:46And that is what has made this matchup so interesting to the masses.
00:54:50And this is the main event tonight because there's one man watching, and one man may, may
00:54:56have a contract in his hand.
00:55:03It can happen at any time.
00:55:05We've seen it time and time again this season.
00:55:07It's been so unpredictable.
00:55:11Right back on top, and this is one thing we've learned about PJ Vassa, as you can hear her
00:55:14talking some smack.
00:55:16She knows who Lockwood is.
00:55:17She's seen Lockwood.
00:55:19She won't be intimidated like so many other.
00:55:22Well, certainly, and that intimidation factor is something that Michael Lockwood has been
00:55:25able to use to her advantage, but you're exactly right, Vic.
00:55:28When you talk about PJ Vassa, she comes in and says, come get your business.
00:55:33Oh, the belly to back suplex.
00:55:36Nasty landing for Vassa.
00:55:37Lockwood, and now, what in the world?
00:55:45Let's see that again, please.
00:55:47Are you kidding me?
00:55:49It's not often you and I are held speechless here on LFG, but we're talking about power.
00:55:55We've got to talk about the athleticism.
00:55:57A standing moonsault.
00:55:59I'm sorry that I'm still sitting here stunned as this matchup's continuing between these
00:56:02two women, and boom, what a black hole slam.
00:56:07Might have missed an opportunity there to at least go for the three count, but right away,
00:56:12see the resilience of Michael Lockwood to her feet, but taken out by PJ Vassa.
00:56:18You talk about the eyes, you talk about the intensity, there you are staring into PJ Vassa.
00:56:23The eyes tell the story, and for PJ, she could be looking to put down Lockwood.
00:56:35Micah's up and staring a hole at PJ Vassa.
00:56:38Vassa's not going to like the view, and she turns around, and we're back to the beginning.
00:56:42Almost a stalemate.
00:56:44This is incredible.
00:56:48That was too close.
00:56:52And a near fall.
00:56:55You've got to wonder.
00:56:56What a main event.
00:56:58What is it going to take for one of these two to get the win in this matchup?
00:57:03Light up! Light up! Light up! Light up!
00:57:10Light up! Light up! Light up! Light up! Right now, the top of their lungs for Micah.
00:57:14Going to the eyes, though, is Vassa.
00:57:16Lockwood for a moment, blinded.
00:57:17Vassa's got to take control.
00:57:19Bam! Right into the corner.
00:57:21And this is how quickly things have changed between these two women throughout this matchup.
00:57:26So evenly matched, but this time Lockwood able to get out of her way at the last possible moment.
00:57:32What's she thinking, JB?
00:57:33I mean, we've seen so many new things from her in this matchup, and now shoulder block from the second
00:57:40row.
00:57:40Could that be it?
00:57:41Through the air, into the cover for the victory.
00:57:46Here is her winner, Micah Lockwood!
00:57:52Jeremy, this match lived up to the feeling.
00:57:56They brought it here tonight.
00:58:04You good, though?
00:58:04Yeah, you good?
00:58:05Yeah.
00:58:05Okay, man.
00:58:06Yeah.
00:58:07Good job, ladies.
00:58:08Yeah, hell of a job.
00:58:10Both of you out there taking pumps, usually you're giving them everything.
00:58:13I was like, oh, this feels different.
00:58:15Oh, give them ball of wax, isn't it?
00:58:16Yeah, great job.
00:58:19It was awesome, Kel.
00:58:21Big boss, man.
00:58:23What'd you think?
00:58:24What did you think?
00:58:25We had a great-ass time.
00:58:26We had a great time.
00:58:27Was that your absolute best effort?
00:58:30Best effort?
00:58:31Absolutely.
00:58:31I still think I could have executed a lot better, but best effort for today, right now,
00:58:36at this hour, absolutely.
00:58:37Did you accomplish what you wanted to accomplish?
00:58:41Yes.
00:58:42Did you have more personality and character?
00:58:45Yes.
00:58:46The goosler for the chokeslam.
00:58:48You get up there, right?
00:58:50Go!
00:58:52PJ, it's your job to really kick your legs out.
00:58:56It's your job to get her ass out of the way so she can bump flat on her back.
00:59:02Okay.
00:59:02Okay?
00:59:03You bumped on your ass, and then the back of your head hit.
00:59:06You won't realize it now, but when you turn 50, you'll realize it.
00:59:10So you always want to try to disperse that bump.
00:59:13Good job on the finish.
00:59:14Good job.
00:59:15As long as you guys were happy.
00:59:17They told me they were happy.
00:59:18The crowd.
00:59:20So, good.
00:59:22Good, good, good.
00:59:24Bubba loved it.
00:59:24He enjoyed it.
00:59:25He thought we hit what we told him we wanted to hit.
00:59:28I think he was just proud.
00:59:28I think he was proud of, like, the energy that we bought.
00:59:31My main goal was just to be organic, be in the moment.
00:59:33And I found myself looking at the crowd and feeling their energy.
00:59:39I'm on the right track.
00:59:41I may not be at the finish line now, but I'm on the right track.
00:59:47I enjoyed it.
00:59:47I enjoyed it.
00:59:48Those shots right there, you hear them?
00:59:50I thought about you, bro.
00:59:51Just from underneath, dude.
00:59:52I'm blue, watching the f***ing time.
00:59:54You have to be that same person.
00:59:56Okay.
00:59:56In your next match.
00:59:57In your next match.
00:59:59In your next match.
01:00:00Okay.
01:00:00The psychology you build around your bumps and stuff like that is going to be different.
01:00:03Right.
01:00:03But it's the person you've got to be.
01:00:05Okay.
01:00:06The person you've got to be.
01:00:07I felt savage in this match.
01:00:08You've got to be that same person.
01:00:09Absolutely.
01:00:10Every time.
01:00:14I can't express how awesome it is to wrestle in front of that crowd.
01:00:17I was kind of scared they wouldn't remember me, but the minute I walked out, I had the biggest
01:00:21pop.
01:00:21I can hear them chanting Michael.
01:00:26They were in it from beginning to end.
01:00:31We got it in.
01:00:32We got it in.
01:00:33Cool.
01:00:33Good job.
01:00:34Yeah, me too.
01:00:35I'm super excited to figure out who Michael Lockwood is.
01:00:39You know, not just in the ring, but outside of the ring.
