00:00:00KONIEC!
00:00:30Now one of you is going home.
00:00:32DJ, you stay.
00:00:34Cutler, best of luck in your future endeavors.
00:00:44It's morning at the Performance Center,
00:00:46and all the future greats settle in to hear what Shawn Michaels has in store for the day,
00:00:50including BJ Ray,
00:00:53who survived a Loser Leafs town match against Cutler James last week by the skin of his teeth.
00:00:58I'm back!
00:01:03Do I prefer to be on Team Bubba? No.
00:01:05But no, I kind of got to, you know, whatever Bubba says,
00:01:08keep my mouth shut, ears open,
00:01:11and just show them that, hey, I'm going to do this thing,
00:01:15whether they like it or not.
00:01:17Hello, everyone.
00:01:18Hello!
00:01:19All right.
00:01:20Before we get started and I bring out your guest,
00:01:23I do want to let you know,
00:01:25next week, your worlds are going to change dramatically
00:01:27the LFG playoffs begin.
00:01:34Eliminations start.
00:01:35Good luck.
00:01:37It's about to get grimy.
00:01:38It's about to get ugly.
00:01:40I don't expect anyone to hold back.
00:01:42We're going to find out who really about what they say they about and who's not.
00:01:45This is the time where it's like you got to be dialed in and ready to go
00:01:49and just honestly, balls to the wall.
00:01:51Welcome to the ultimate proving ground.
00:02:0016 future greats.
00:02:02Four legends.
00:02:08He is the epitome of Wrestlemania.
00:02:12Nia broke down barriers for women.
00:02:15P-Bike, get the table!
00:02:18Can you dig that sucker?
00:02:21A chance to win an NXT contract.
00:02:26Every legend has a first chapter.
00:02:29The future starts now.
00:02:31From the Million Dollar Man to the King of Kings Triple H, wrestling history is filled with fitting monikers.
00:02:58Gorgeous George.
00:03:01You know, that's where I think it started.
00:03:03I mean, you know, look how Gorgeous George lived up to the moniker.
00:03:06You know, how flamboyant he was.
00:03:08You got to comment like a great actor.
00:03:12The Dead Man coming!
00:03:14It's just cool, right?
00:03:16Other than just their names.
00:03:17It helps identify a little bit of who their character is.
00:03:22People who are learning and just coming up, if they can find something like that and attach themselves to it.
00:03:27There can only be one queen.
00:03:29It really makes you step up.
00:03:33A moniker, a name, obviously.
00:03:36From my standpoint, it was HBK, the Heartbreak Kid.
00:03:39Now I know all of you sit there and you look at me now and how in heaven's name were you ever a Heartbreak Kid?
00:03:45That you have to understand, a long time ago when I was a very pretty young man, all right?
00:03:49When you have an image, it is so important to live up to that image.
00:03:54I'd like to introduce to our guest today, the phenomenal one, AJ Styles.
00:03:58Since 1998, AJ Styles has competed all over the world.
00:04:11And in 2016, this offensive mastermind made his long-awaited debut in WWE.
00:04:18Known as the phenomenal one, Styles has proven to be just that.
00:04:22AJ Styles continues to be the best performer of our generation.
00:04:26And with multiple phenomenal championship reigns, AJ Styles has truly lived up to his moniker.
00:04:33AJ Styles, the phenomenal one!
00:04:40What up, kid? How you doing?
00:04:44I'm always kidding.
00:04:45What's up, man?
00:04:47Super cool to see AJ Styles.
00:04:49I've been watching him tear it up on my roster for a long time.
00:04:52Definitely lives up to the name, like, he's got the hair flowing, like, he's got a very, like, phenomenal vibe about him.
00:04:58There's so many things that make him phenomenal.
00:05:00He has the ability to make you forget that he's really not that big of a guy.
00:05:06That is a gift not everyone has.
00:05:08Eddie Guerrero had it.
00:05:09Kurt Angle had it.
00:05:11He's just got that dog in him that he can hang with anybody.
00:05:15Ladies and gentlemen, how are you guys doing?
00:05:17Everybody doing well?
00:05:18Awesome.
00:05:18I love what I do, and I love to see people succeed.
00:05:23And if I can share a little bit of knowledge that can get them to the next level, I'm happy to do it.
00:05:29WWE is a place where I was able to become phenomenal.
00:05:34What does that mean?
00:05:35Does it mean I'm able to do all these flips?
00:05:37I can do them if you want, but that's not what makes you phenomenal.
00:05:40That's not what gets you there.
00:05:41If you take and you watch old school wrestling, a man called Mr. Perfect.
00:05:51Don't you wish you could be like me, Perfect?
00:05:54I'm talking about Mr. Perfect.
00:05:59He's the kind of guy that when you watch him, you realize that you have so much more to grow.
00:06:07This is the WWE, and we expect excellence here.
00:06:10My biggest takeaway from what AJ said about the moniker was basically, like, you have to embody it.
00:06:16When somebody comes and watches you, it's almost what they were thinking, too.
00:06:19So, now it's up to you.
00:06:21What is your moniker?
00:06:22What is the nickname that you'll be giving yourself?
00:06:25Show me who you are.
00:06:28Show me what they're going to call you.
00:06:29Because you'll be judged based on that.
00:06:31When I heard what the challenge was this week, I kind of thought it was like a no-brainer.
00:06:37This is literally my one moment to finally represent the promised child and the biggest stage I could.
00:06:44I was not tripping because Penina Tulepa already has a nickname, so P-Nasty is what I ran with.
00:06:50While some already have monikers, the future greats gather with their coaches to pitch some new ideas
00:06:55and perhaps earn a point for their teams.
00:07:00The Undertaker is in first place, but Booker isn't far behind
00:07:03and hopes to regain the lead in the battle for the first-ever WWE LFG Championship belt.
00:07:08Okay, uh, what we got?
00:07:11I have the detonator.
00:07:13So, I'm a silent killer, undetectable, unpredictable.
00:07:18We gotta change your interests then, alright?
00:07:21You gotta be able to display that,
00:07:24opposed to being like that butterfly that we've been seeing throughout this whole thing.
00:07:29My name's Latia Pita.
00:07:30It means little devil in Spanish.
00:07:32Oh.
00:07:32I feel like that fits my personality,
00:07:35and how I'm gonna present myself in the ring, which is relentless and fiery.
00:07:39Right.
00:07:39I like that.
00:07:40I like that.
00:07:41What you got?
00:07:42The real deal is Tyra Mays deal.
00:07:44People look at me and they don't see an Olympic gold medalist,
00:07:47but when they step into the ring, they'll find out that I am the real deal.
00:07:51I am Tyra Mays deal.
00:07:53I'm the real deal.
00:07:55Exactly.
00:07:56I thought, for me, uh, the precedent,
00:07:58so setting the standard,
00:08:00that's what I did before I came here.
00:08:02I always had the standard.
00:08:03I was always first, so I always became the example.
00:08:05Okay.
00:08:05So then maybe the standard, the gold standard,
00:08:10the, you know, the standard, whatever, stuff like that.
00:08:12You like gold standard?
00:08:13Yeah.
00:08:13See, I moved you just like that.
00:08:16I was just hearing words.
00:08:18But, but, but that's important.
00:08:20Always want to hit them or touch them with something that really works.
00:08:22Makes them go, hmm, because now I have your attention.
00:08:26The monikers have all been chosen,
00:08:28and now it's time to present them to AJ Styles.
00:08:32All right, let's hear it.
00:08:33Let's hear some monikers.
00:08:34Let's go.
00:08:35Danny, you got you.
00:08:36Oh, exciting.
00:08:37Danny, got you, girl.
00:08:39My name is Danny Ray, and I am the shooting star.
00:08:42When I think of a shooting star,
00:08:44I think of unlimited potential,
00:08:46and that's because when you wish upon a shooting star,
00:08:48anything is possible.
00:08:50Well done.
00:08:51Well done.
00:08:52Holy, holy.
00:08:53Baby.
00:08:54Being the first person out there,
00:08:55I wanted to set the bar,
00:08:56and I think the legends were very happy
00:08:58with what I was able to put out.
00:09:00All right, here we go.
00:09:01Just the stars.
00:09:02All right, I'll be honest.
00:09:03Ha, ha, ha, I got you again.
00:09:04Oh, Xena is hungry.
00:09:05She's ready.
00:09:06Yes, she is.
00:09:07If you're not constantly going up and trying to be first,
00:09:09do you really want that winning spot at the end of the show?
00:09:13I don't know.
00:09:14Confrontation, nothing new to me.
00:09:17The hate, well, it stems from them
00:09:20knowing that they will always be second.
00:09:24You see, you are looking at Tatiana Dumas,
00:09:29the gold standard.
00:09:33Tatiana Dumas, the gold standard.
00:09:38Yeah.
00:09:39There's nothing golden about you.
00:09:41If anybody's the gold standard,
00:09:45uh, hello.
00:09:47Woo-hoo-hoo!
00:09:48For me, there's no dig at anyone.
00:09:51And if people got hurt by that,
00:09:53I mean, that's just your insecurities.
00:09:57No, fine.
00:09:58Tyra Mae Steele.
00:10:01Tyra Mae Steele.
00:10:03I am the one.
00:10:05I am the real deal.
00:10:08Tyra Mae Steele!
00:10:09I dominated internationally.
00:10:13Heck, I even won an Olympic gold medal
00:10:17just for good measure.
00:10:19The real deal.
00:10:21Real deal.
00:10:22Holy field.
00:10:23The real deal, Tyra Mae Steele.
00:10:24I like that.
00:10:25It comes together.
00:10:26Hey, when the time comes and I'm out in the ring
00:10:27and somebody else wants to take phenomenal,
00:10:30they're more than welcome to have it
00:10:31as long as they're that.
00:10:32So you've got to be the real deal
00:10:33when you step in the ring,
00:10:34but we already know you can do it on the mat.
00:10:35Yeah, definitely.
00:10:36Yeah.
00:10:36Thank you.
00:10:38Bye, Rob.
00:10:44Uh, I mean, you know, I mean,
00:10:47I just think that's very, very disrespectful
00:10:51after what Evander Holyfield did.
00:10:53I'm a Evander Holyfield fan,
00:10:58true to the bone,
00:11:00and I still consider him to be
00:11:02the one and only real deal.
00:11:08Taker, you know, I think that's bad coaching, man.
00:11:11That's bad advice.
00:11:13You know, bad mentoring.
00:11:14I'm like, come on.
00:11:15This is the wrestling business.
00:11:17Like, seriously?
00:11:18I'm a boxing historian,
00:11:19and there ain't no way
00:11:20I would step on something like that.
00:11:23Hey, you felt the need
00:11:24to steal someone else's name.
00:11:25At least I came up with mine.
00:11:27I came up with this on the spot.
00:11:28Oh, my God.
00:11:29I don't understand it.
00:11:31Eh.
00:11:32No.
00:11:33I'm not out here stealing names,
00:11:34and I didn't need to walk around
00:11:36with a medal
00:11:36and show it to people
00:11:38to prove
00:11:40that I've achieved something.
00:11:41I'll give you a hug.
00:11:42I'll just queue by a hug.
00:11:44Come on.
00:11:45No, shut up, man.
00:11:46Are we trying to talk over here
00:11:47about something?
00:11:48Look here.
00:11:49Look, you would...
00:11:49As the argument is going on
00:11:52over Elijah's dad's moniker,
00:11:56I could just feel
00:11:58the hostility in him.
00:12:01And I started doing this.
00:12:03I mouthed the words,
00:12:06this is your time.
00:12:09Uh-oh.
00:12:10Here we go.
00:12:10Oh, never mind.
00:12:12Thank you.
00:12:13Let's go.
00:12:13Look here.
00:12:14I represent Holyfield.
00:12:16That's right.
00:12:17Why don't you let Holyfield
00:12:18represent Holyfield?
00:12:19Why can't I represent Holyfield?
00:12:20Can I talk for a second?
00:12:24How we know Holyfield retired,
00:12:26maybe we want to have another run.
00:12:28Maybe...
00:12:28Anybody thought about that?
00:12:30Anybody thought about that?
00:12:30Listen, everybody comes to a point
00:12:32where they know
00:12:33they need to just hang them up.
00:12:34As the future greats
00:12:35present their monikers
00:12:36to AJ Styles,
00:12:37the legends argue
00:12:38over Tyra Mae Steele's choice
00:12:39to use the nickname
00:12:41of her teammate
00:12:42Elijah's father,
00:12:43Evander,
00:12:44the real deal Holyfield.
00:12:47They were kind of trying
00:12:48to, like,
00:12:48turn us against each other
00:12:49and I'm kind of thinking,
00:12:50like,
00:12:50he's not here,
00:12:51it's about me right now
00:12:52and if she's the real deal,
00:12:52she's the real deal
00:12:53but I'm going to tell you
00:12:54who I am too.
00:12:54Can I talk for a second?
00:12:55My name is Elijah Holyfield,
00:12:59but you will address me
00:13:00as the Holyfield Warrior.
00:13:02Oh.
00:13:03Being a warrior
00:13:04isn't just some title to me,
00:13:06it's in my blood.
00:13:08I love the fight.
00:13:10I live for the battle.
00:13:12Here in the WWE,
00:13:14I'm going to conquer
00:13:14everything in my path
00:13:16and flip pain
00:13:17and win championships
00:13:19while I do it
00:13:20because that's
00:13:21the Holyfield Warrior way.
00:13:22I like it.
00:13:26Hey,
00:13:27let me just say this.
00:13:28Sometimes that war
00:13:30isn't always in the ring.
00:13:32Yes, sir.
00:13:32Okay?
00:13:33Sometimes it's up here.
00:13:34Yes, sir.
00:13:35So,
00:13:35be ready to do it in the ring
00:13:36and be able to handle it up here.
00:13:38Yes, sir.
00:13:39He started here
00:13:40the week before
00:13:41we started filming this show.
00:13:43To have those kind of instincts
00:13:44to, like,
00:13:45okay,
00:13:46I'm going to seize the moment,
00:13:47I was impressed.
00:13:48See,
00:13:48I brought that out.
00:13:49I brought all that out.
00:13:50Oh,
00:13:50that's all you,
00:13:51right?
00:13:51I just brought that out.
00:13:52That's all you.
00:13:53Look,
00:13:54I did that on purpose.
00:13:56Elijah showed more personality
00:13:58than he ever has
00:13:59and then Booker
00:14:00tried to take credit for it.
00:14:02Booker taking credit
00:14:03for something he did weird.
00:14:04Yeah,
00:14:04that's good.
00:14:05Everybody saw
00:14:06I brought it out.
00:14:07That was some
00:14:08of my best work,
00:14:09actually.
00:14:10So,
00:14:11Elijah Holyfield,
00:14:12as well as his coach,
00:14:14they should be thanking me.
00:14:16See you now.
00:14:18Come on, Z.
00:14:19There we go.
00:14:20I've been waiting
00:14:21for this one.
00:14:21Oh, wait,
00:14:23I have,
00:14:23coach,
00:14:24what do I do
00:14:24with my gum?

00:14:26Hey,
00:14:26you know that?
00:14:26Oh!
00:14:29Everybody was like,
00:14:30ew,
00:14:30that's disgusting.
00:14:32Ah,
00:14:32ah,
00:14:33ah.
00:14:33Listen,
00:14:34Xena is my shining star
00:14:35and when she gets
00:14:37that Wrestlemania payday,
00:14:39I'm gonna remind her,
00:14:41I'm the one
00:14:42who held your gum.
00:14:45Oxymoron.
00:14:46What's the first thing
00:14:47you hear?
00:14:49Moron.
00:14:50And what was the first thing
00:14:52you guys thought
00:14:53when you saw me?
00:14:55Moron.
00:14:56We are 11 weeks in
00:14:57and who's the one
00:14:58to beat now?
00:14:59Me.
00:15:01My name's Xena.
00:15:02I'm the oxy
00:15:03and, well,
00:15:04you are the moron.
00:15:06Yeah.
00:15:07Okay.
00:15:08Bye-bye.
00:15:10Hey, Xena,
00:15:11why did you just assume
00:15:12that I thought
00:15:12you were a moron?
00:15:13Now that you say moron,
00:15:14I can't help
00:15:15but think of that.
00:15:16But what is your moniker again
00:15:18because moron
00:15:19stood out to me
00:15:20more than
00:15:20whatever your moniker was.
00:15:22Oxymoron.
00:15:23Oxymoron.
00:15:24Yes.
00:15:24Okay.
00:15:25I got you.
00:15:26The moniker
00:15:27that I chose for myself
00:15:28really resembles
00:15:29Xena
00:15:30throughout the entire show
00:15:31so I feel like
00:15:32AJ had to have been there
00:15:34to understand it.
00:15:36I wouldn't take anything
00:15:37from Bubba's hand.
00:15:38Hey, yo.
00:15:39I don't know where
00:15:40Bubba's hands have been, bro,
00:15:41but his right hand
00:15:42looks pretty strong.
00:15:43I hope it wasn't his right hand.
00:15:46One second.
00:15:48I need to clear my throat up
00:15:49real quick.
00:15:50Cheers.
00:15:52Bro,
00:15:52of course I want to
00:15:53take a sip of water
00:15:54after Mickie James
00:15:55drank out of his heart.
00:15:56That's the closest thing
00:15:57I could get to a smooch.
00:15:58You know what I'm saying?
00:15:59I'm the West Coast gangster, dog.
00:16:01From the mean streets
00:16:03of Orange County, California.
00:16:05Could you imagine?
00:16:07For some years,
00:16:07my dad barely made 500 grand.
00:16:10West Coast gangster out, baby.
00:16:13Bro, that's so good.
00:16:15So freaking good.
00:16:17Don't move over.
00:16:18That's so freaking good.
00:16:20Keep the water.
00:16:21He said that line
00:16:23about his dad
00:16:23only made $500,000.
00:16:25I was like, wow,
00:16:27this is perfect.
00:16:28You know, like, dude,
00:16:29you're a rich kid

00:16:41But don't let them good times
00:16:42get you confused.
00:16:44You in the swamp
00:16:45with the Bayou Boy,
00:16:46Drake Moreau.
00:16:47All right.
00:16:50Club has been on me recently
00:16:52on really diving deep
00:16:53into this New Orleans
00:16:54party-style side
00:16:56of my character,
00:16:57which has been fun,
00:16:58you know,
00:16:58just really get to try
00:16:59and just let loose
00:17:00as much as I can.
00:17:01My name is Shiloh
00:17:03the Hellraiser Hill.
00:17:05I feel at home
00:17:06when I raise hell.
00:17:07And I feel alive
00:17:08when I raise hell.
00:17:09So I don't dare you
00:17:10to touch me.
00:17:11I don't dare you
00:17:11to feel me.
00:17:12I dare you to sleep on me
00:17:13and see if you like
00:17:15where you're at
00:17:15when you wake up.
00:17:19I thought he was gonna be
00:17:19a happier guy.
00:17:20I got skirt.
00:17:22I got skirt.
00:17:23Bend the knee
00:17:24to the Reaper,
00:17:26Jasper Troy,
00:17:26and step into
00:17:27power that lies
00:17:29beyond the chaos.
00:17:30embrace the darkness.
00:17:33Reaper.
00:17:34All right.
00:17:35Are you like
00:17:35The Undertaker?
00:17:36We're gonna find out.
00:17:40The monster.
00:17:42The monster.
00:17:43I'm 22,
00:17:45but I'm still a kid,
00:17:46and I always will be a kid.
00:17:48A kid who's not afraid
00:17:50to stand up
00:17:50to the biggest monsters
00:17:51in the world.
00:17:53I looked over my shoulder
00:17:54at who?
00:17:55The monster himself.
00:17:58Jasper Troy.
00:17:59And then when I said
00:18:00that line,
00:18:00I said it to Booker,
00:18:01the one who gave him
00:18:02the title monster,
00:18:03because I'm not afraid.
00:18:04My name is Chris Island,
00:18:06and I am
00:18:06the promised child.
00:18:09Yeah, of course.
00:18:14I was looking for a grown man.
00:18:15I was looking for a grown man,
00:18:17not a little boy.
00:18:18If you take a shot at me,
00:18:20you should be ready
00:18:21for the consequences.
00:18:22And when you get up
00:18:23in front of legends
00:18:24and tell them that
00:18:24you'll always be a boy,
00:18:26well, you're always gonna
00:18:27get treated like a boy,
00:18:28because what you just told
00:18:29the world is that you're
00:18:30always gonna be
00:18:31little brother.
00:18:34To make sure all the future
00:18:36greats get a chance
00:18:37to show off their monikers
00:18:38in the ring...
00:18:39Let's spin this up.
00:18:43Four tag team matches
00:18:44will take place.
00:18:45But while monikers
00:18:46are important
00:18:47to enhance character,
00:18:48they can be tough
00:18:49to embody during a match.
00:18:51Let's go, guys.
00:18:51Let's go, guys.
00:18:52For the first battle,
00:18:54will Xena,
00:18:54the oxymoron Sterling,
00:18:56prove there's more
00:18:57than meets the eye?
00:18:59Let me see the gear change,
00:19:01Xena.
00:19:01Let me see the oxymoron now.
00:19:03Will the gold standard,
00:19:05Tatiana Dumas,
00:19:06be able to set the standard
00:19:08for her competitors?
00:19:15Uh-oh.
00:19:16Oh!
00:19:17Come to pom-pom, sisters.
00:19:18And your opponents,
00:19:20who are free sisters?
00:19:21Free sisters?
00:19:22Pom-pom.
00:19:23Pom-pom sisters.
00:19:24Will Danny,
00:19:26the shooting star,
00:19:27Sikalski,
00:19:28light up the night
00:19:28by leaping
00:19:29from the top rope?
00:19:31Or will La Diabrita,
00:19:32Serena Linton,
00:19:33show off her devilish side
00:19:35by cheating in the ring?
00:19:36Oh, that's cool.
00:19:38Heck, the first time
00:19:39she's really stood out
00:19:40in the ring, too,
00:19:40just at that entrance.
00:19:42Perfect time to separate yourself
00:19:43from everybody else.
00:19:44With eliminations
00:19:45one week away,
00:19:47it's time to find out
00:19:48who's ready to seize the moment.
00:19:54Monikers this week
00:19:55here on LFG.
00:19:57It's Vic Joseph
00:19:59alongside Jeremy,
00:20:00Mr. Motion,
00:20:01and the Ocean Borash.
00:20:02They declared their monikers.
00:20:06They came up
00:20:06with their nicknames.
00:20:07Now it's time
00:20:08to live up
00:20:09to the name.
00:20:10The phenomenal
00:20:11AJ Styles.
00:20:12As he said,
00:20:13everything he did
00:20:14was phenomenal.
00:20:16Everything he touched,
00:20:17phenomenal.
00:20:17Can these legends,
00:20:19can these future greats
00:20:20live up to these monikers?
00:20:22He is ready.
00:20:26You say that
00:20:27one more time again.
00:20:28Nicknames,
00:20:28catchphrases,
00:20:29whatever it is,
00:20:30it's a way to connect
00:20:31with the WWE universe.
00:20:33And for Sterling,
00:20:35the oxymoron,
00:20:36it's certainly
00:20:37a nice touch,
00:20:38some would say.
00:20:39Well, it's certainly
00:20:40interesting.
00:20:41And hey,
00:20:41I don't know
00:20:41if these nicknames
00:20:42are going to stick forever,
00:20:43but for tonight,
00:20:44they have to live up to them.
00:20:45That's two.
00:20:49All right,
00:20:49I like that.
00:20:52Now looking for the
00:20:52trifecta roll.
00:20:53Wow,
00:20:54nice backslide kick out.
00:20:55Woo-hoo-hoo.
00:21:01I think I'd quit
00:21:02trying that if I was Danny.
00:21:03I know it.
00:21:09I'm waiting for Danny
00:21:10to get some offense in.
00:21:11I know you too.
00:21:12Well,
00:21:13when it comes to Danny
00:21:13and you're going to call
00:21:14yourself the shooting star,
00:21:18you should have a little bit
00:21:18more of a highlight reel,
00:21:20don't you think?
00:21:20Nice high cross body.
00:21:21I mean,
00:21:22maybe now we're starting
00:21:23to get into that.
00:21:24Now it's going to be
00:21:25our opportunity
00:21:26to show that incredible
00:21:26offense,
00:21:27but not so fast.
00:21:28Caught in midair
00:21:29by Zena Sterling.
00:21:31Woof.
00:21:33All right,
00:21:33again,
00:21:34you know,
00:21:34tag was made
00:21:35and in comes
00:21:36Linton.
00:21:37Well,
00:21:38I guess we're the morons
00:21:44for the oxymoron
00:21:46here tonight.
00:21:46Never underestimate
00:21:47Zena Sterling.
00:21:48I mean,
00:21:48but when you have
00:21:49a monitor,
00:21:50all joking aside,
00:21:51is now the gold standard
00:21:53as checked into the matchup.
00:21:55It's a fine line to walk,
00:21:58is it not?
00:21:58It certainly is,
00:21:59and obviously calling
00:22:00yourself phenomenal
00:22:01and living your life
00:22:02as someone who everyone
00:22:03else says is phenomenal
00:22:05is really the difference.
00:22:07You've got to live up
00:22:07to that name
00:22:08and you've got to have
00:22:08other people refer to it.
00:22:09Both of these girls
00:22:10need to have
00:22:11a good showing today.
00:22:12Yeah.
00:22:14Don't tag out,
00:22:16Zena.
00:22:19It's hard to argue
00:22:20about the shooting star
00:22:21back into the matchup.
00:22:22Let's see this tandem offense.
00:22:24What?
00:22:24Oh,
00:22:25where's the other elbow?
00:22:28Big splash,
00:22:29cover,
00:22:30looking for the win
00:22:30and a kick out.
00:22:31But if you're going
00:22:32to call yourself
00:22:32the shooting star,
00:22:33to me,
00:22:34that's high flying
00:22:35and that's athleticism
00:22:36that's in your face,
00:22:37high octane offense.
00:22:39Well,
00:22:39and if you're going
00:22:39to call yourself
00:22:40the gold standard,
00:22:41especially on a program
00:22:42that features
00:22:42an Olympic gold medalist,
00:22:44you better live up
00:22:45to the hype.
00:22:45You better do
00:22:46something special.
00:22:46Do you think
00:22:47it is very interesting
00:22:48that whatever your moniker is,
00:22:50you indirectly put
00:22:51more pressure on yourself?
00:22:53Well,
00:22:53obviously,
00:22:54you've got to shoot
00:22:54for the stars
00:22:55as Dani Sikalski
00:22:56literally does
00:22:57with her name
00:22:57in the shooting star.
00:22:59You've got to be able
00:23:00to live up to it, too.
00:23:01I start to wonder,
00:23:02I think she's going
00:23:03to attempt
00:23:03a shooting star
00:23:05in this matchup.
00:23:06I think so.
00:23:06Obviously,
00:23:07that would be
00:23:07a nice thing
00:23:08to go along
00:23:09with that moniker.
00:23:11Tag was made.
00:23:12Looks early
00:23:13on the launch.
00:23:14Nice.
00:23:15That was beautiful.
00:23:17Into the cover,
00:23:18into the count,
00:23:19and kicked out
00:23:20whatever moniker
00:23:20Lynn wants to give herself.
00:23:22She is certainly
00:23:23in fuego here tonight.
00:23:25A great compliment
00:23:25from AJ Styles
00:23:26who made a name
00:23:28for himself
00:23:28doing spectacular
00:23:29maneuvers like that.
00:23:31A great compliment
00:23:32from a,
00:23:33you know,
00:23:33to get a compliment
00:23:34from him like that
00:23:34is fantastic.
00:23:38Oh!
00:23:39Oh!
00:23:39Wow.
00:23:40Okay.
00:23:41That's impressive, though.
00:23:43Beautiful.
00:23:45Where has this been?
00:23:47Serena Linton's showing up.
00:23:48She hasn't really
00:23:49had an opportunity
00:23:50to wrestle or, like,
00:23:51show this.
00:23:52That's really good.
00:23:53And Serena with,
00:23:54by far,
00:23:54the least amount
00:23:55of experience
00:23:56of all four of these.
00:23:57Well, again,
00:23:57it's not about
00:23:58who wins,
00:23:58who loses,
00:23:59it's about
00:23:59who impresses
00:24:00the legends.
00:24:01The girl in the red,
00:24:02Serena,
00:24:02this is probably
00:24:03her best day ever.
00:24:04She's another one
00:24:06that had her first match
00:24:07in this,
00:24:08her first match ever
00:24:09in this competition.
00:24:10Do you count those matches
00:24:11on less than one hand?
00:24:13From behind,
00:24:13shoulders down,
00:24:14shooting star
00:24:15able to kick out
00:24:15from the gold standard.
00:24:17As now Danny back in.
00:24:19Tatiana trying to overpower,
00:24:20looking for the backslide.
00:24:22Got it!
00:24:23Near fall.
00:24:24And, you know,
00:24:25I ask you this, JB,
00:24:26is there really a formula
00:24:27when it comes to
00:24:28choosing a moniker?
00:24:29As Danny now
00:24:30barking out at her opponent.
00:24:32Well, AJ Styles
00:24:33had some great wisdom
00:24:34that he shared
00:24:34earlier with
00:24:35about being
00:24:36the phenomenal one
00:24:37and living up to that name.
00:24:38It's something
00:24:38you have to be able to do
00:24:40and know it
00:24:40at the same time going in.
00:24:42They're trying to
00:24:42showcase their monikers.
00:24:45Yeah, we've seen that.
00:24:46I don't think
00:24:46I've seen it yet,
00:24:47but other than both
00:24:49of all people,
00:24:50Serena.
00:24:51She looks more like
00:24:52the superstar in here.
00:24:55Well, Sterling tagging in
00:24:56and now having
00:24:57her opportunity.
00:24:59Fire up, Cena.
00:25:00Yeah.
00:25:01Show me the mean side.
00:25:03You ain't dumb.
00:25:04You ain't a moron.
00:25:04Mr. Coach.
00:25:08Right.
00:25:09That was uncalled
00:25:10for of you to laugh there,
00:25:11JB, but
00:25:11Xena the oxymoron,
00:25:13Sterling in control.
00:25:15Tilt-a-whirl slam
00:25:16for the win.
00:25:18Nice showing
00:25:18from Xena Sterling.
00:25:21Here are your winners,
00:25:22not much of a comeback,
00:25:23but okay.
00:25:24The gold standard,
00:25:26Tatiana Dumas,
00:25:27and Xena the oxymoron,
00:25:30and Xena the oxymoron,
00:25:32Sterling!
00:25:33Well, we sit here
00:25:34and see who won.
00:25:35Great showing.
00:25:35You said it,
00:25:36but it's not about
00:25:36the wins and the losses.
00:25:38Clinton may have had
00:25:39a better showing
00:25:40in this matchup
00:25:41if you heard
00:25:41what the legend said.
00:25:42There is a huge decision
00:25:44still to come on LFG.
00:25:46AJ, you said that
00:25:51Xena had the most
00:25:52memorable moniker.
00:25:54Was she the most memorable
00:25:55in the match here today?
00:25:56It fit her perfect
00:25:57act, the oxymoron.
00:25:58It's like,
00:25:59did see,
00:26:00then she comes out
00:26:00and she's owning the place.
00:26:05Little Devil, man,
00:26:07I really enjoyed
00:26:08what you did today.
00:26:09I didn't see anything
00:26:10too devilish, mind you,
00:26:12but you stood out
00:26:13right from the get-go
00:26:14when you did
00:26:15the split on the top rope,
00:26:15because I don't know
00:26:16anybody that does that,
00:26:17but are you guys
00:26:18standing out
00:26:19as far as your moniker goes?
00:26:20If you say shooting star,
00:26:22I expect to see
00:26:23some really good,
00:26:26maybe some lucha stuff
00:26:27in there
00:26:28because you are small,
00:26:29but I'm trying to take you
00:26:30where you're at right now.
00:26:32We're getting on the tail end
00:26:33of this competition
00:26:34and I kind of just
00:26:36got ran over.
00:26:39Xena, you are excelling
00:26:41in this thing.
00:26:42You really are.
00:26:43You know how to
00:26:44get yourself over.
00:26:45You got to know
00:26:46how to get the other guy
00:26:48over that you're working with.
00:26:49I think that's one thing
00:26:50that will excel you
00:26:53perhaps, you know,
00:26:54to the stratosphere,
00:26:55take you totally
00:26:56to the next level.
00:26:57That's just a little
00:26:57coaching advice, you know?
00:27:00Let's wrap this
00:27:01son of a gun up,
00:27:02Bubba Ray Dudley.
00:27:04Tatiana, we still need
00:27:05to definitely see
00:27:07more from you,
00:27:08but overall,
00:27:09I thought it was
00:27:10a good effort, ladies.
00:27:10Thank you, legends.
00:27:12Ultimately, AJ Styles,
00:27:14later on,
00:27:14it's going to come down
00:27:15to you awarding
00:27:16the points here today.
00:27:18Great job, ladies.
00:27:18Thank you.
00:27:19Thank you.
00:27:19Thank you.
00:27:19Thank you.
00:27:20Thank you.
00:27:20Thank you.
00:27:20Thank you.
00:27:20Thank you.
00:27:21Thank you.
00:27:21Tatiana doesn't do
00:27:25stand out.
00:27:27Absolutely nothing.
00:27:32The performance
00:27:33is getting unacceptable
00:27:34and, like,
00:27:35if I'm going to hold
00:27:36the name,
00:27:37the gold standard,
00:27:38I've got to deliver that.
00:27:40There were so many mistakes
00:27:41I knew straight off
00:27:42the back that I knew.
00:27:43And I was like,
00:27:44like, it's just,
00:27:46it's getting unacceptable
00:27:48to me,
00:27:48especially this,
00:27:49this stage in the game.
00:27:52As Tatiana ponders her future,
00:27:54the next tag team match
00:27:55is about to go down.
00:27:57It's BJ Ray
00:27:58and Drake Moreau
00:27:59versus Anthony Luke
00:28:00and Jasper Troy.
00:28:02I'm not f***ing scaring me, bro.
00:28:04You better be scaring me, bro.
00:28:05Jasper, come feel that.
00:28:06F***.
00:28:08Oh!
00:28:09Uh-oh.
00:28:10Uh-oh.
00:28:11It sounds like the line, you know.
00:28:13I had a beat going for you guys.
00:28:16The following contest
00:28:18is scheduled for one fall.
00:28:20Introducing first,
00:28:22representing
00:28:23Team Bubba Ray,
00:28:26the West Coast gangster,
00:28:29BJ Ray,
00:28:32and his tag team partner,
00:28:34the Bayou Boy,
00:28:37Drake Moreau!
00:28:41Oh, like the Bayou Boy,
00:28:43that's an easy one
00:28:44to see here, J.B.
00:28:46I mean,
00:28:46that's about as accurate
00:28:47as accurate gets.
00:28:51Just smacked him on the butt.
00:28:53He just spiked him.
00:28:55Hey, but I call that
00:28:56a Louisiana spanking.
00:28:58A Louisiana spanking.
00:29:00And our opponents,
00:29:10the Ravine Tilly,
00:29:11Team Buster T,
00:29:14Anthony Shota,
00:29:16not his tag team partner,
00:29:20The Reaper,
00:29:22Jasper,
00:29:23Troy!
00:29:24Nie dostań!
00:29:28Tuż byg kórzyń!
00:29:31Chyślą na to, że nie robią tych chápskich!
00:29:34Nie mówię, że reaper pewnie zgodnie zaje NEW YTime.
00:29:37Nie, nie, nie, nie!
00:29:42efecto!
00:29:43Spójrz do this!
00:29:46A lot of times, wyji% wstania i to po prostu, że to pijanie.
00:29:50I dla mnie, to dużo więcej niż w walce.
00:29:53Zobacz, że się dzieje się w tym rynku.
00:29:56W końcu się do końca.
00:29:58To jest czas dla mnie to show out,
00:29:59czy to czas dla mnie do domu.
00:30:00I oni chcą zobaczyć więcej,
00:30:02więc muszę zrobić więcej.
00:30:04Bo ja jestem Showtime.
00:30:13Takie matcha w poczÄ…tku,
00:30:15i for B.J. i Bray,
00:30:17to jest West Coast Gangster.
00:30:19KONIEC.
00:30:49Oh, shoot.
00:31:19And he is just a man who loves to have a good old time.
00:31:22He's coming out of his shell week by week.
00:31:23And that's what the progression is all about,
00:31:25seeing that happen before our very own eyes,
00:31:27having a front row seat to that.
00:31:29And the success that that can bring
00:31:30is part of the adventure of LFG.
00:31:32And Drake Moreau has been a great example of that.
00:31:36Good, good, good, good.
00:31:37And the hair.
00:31:39The heart.
00:31:40Oh!
00:31:41Oh!
00:31:42Oh!
00:31:43Oh!
00:31:44Oh!
00:31:45Good shot.
00:31:46What are you doing?
00:31:47It's a winkle, baby.
00:31:48Oh!
00:31:49Where's this come from?
00:31:50Put him on the main roster.
00:31:52Put him on the main roster right now.
00:31:55Bright and joy of Team Booker T.
00:31:57And with good reason, Jasper Troy is
00:32:00a standout here on this program.
00:32:01Nice takedown by the Bayou Boy here in this matchup.
00:32:04When it comes to Troy, I mean, he is as real as it gets.
00:32:08Has another tag made for Ray coming in.
00:32:10A little tag team continuity in there.
00:32:12Well, I mean, the Bayou Boy has to go to the swamp,
00:32:15be able to find anything he can to make a house, make a boat.
00:32:18Now he's finding his back team partner has been able to use as some sort of a weapon.
00:32:23Take the mozza down!
00:32:25Go!
00:32:26Go!
00:32:27Speaking of a weapon, what a weapon Jasper Troy is for the team of Team Booker T.
00:32:32Tag with a nice kick.
00:32:33Look at that power combination.
00:32:35Into the cover.
00:32:37Well, Anthony Luke is all, uh, not all clocked.
00:32:42He has certainly backed it up, not only with his, uh, well, his lovely friend Maxine,
00:32:45who we've seen in support of his efforts here at the Performance Center, but really has a,
00:32:50I can think, a confidence about him that where he wears well going into that ring.
00:32:55Don't let Maxine's boyfriend beat you up, DJ.
00:32:58Oh, wow.
00:32:59Yeah!
00:33:00Yeah!
00:33:01Yeah!
00:33:02Yeah!
00:33:03Big spine buster into a cover and another kick out.
00:33:07And if you're gonna call yourself Showtime, you gotta be able to have moves and power
00:33:12like what we just saw from Anthony Luke, because you gotta be on par.
00:33:16Like the phenomenal AJ Styles said, you have to be able to back it up every time you step
00:33:22into the square and circle, just like the Reaper with that big sidewalk slam.
00:33:27He's into the cover, center of the ring, and another near fall.
00:33:29Well, if you're PJ Ray, too, and I gotta ask, you know, Bubba this, he's calling himself
00:33:33the West Coast Gangster, how do you truly define that once the bell rings?
00:33:36A difficult task naming yourself that, in my opinion.
00:33:39The Reaper, Jasper Troy, the Bayou Boy, Drake Moreau, and of course what we've seen with
00:33:45showtime, Anthony Luke.
00:33:46Monikers, I think they can live up to.
00:33:49I like how aggressive the Reaper is.
00:33:51I like that.
00:33:52Tag with me, but I want to talk about Jasper Troy for a moment, because you wouldn't want
00:33:56to see Troy in and out.
00:33:57Luke into the cover.
00:33:58Come on, Luke, you got more than that for me.
00:34:00Kick out.
00:34:00You wouldn't want to see Troy in a bar fight, just like you wouldn't want to see the Grim Reaper.
00:34:07As we've seen, another tag, some pretty good combinations, some good symmetry
00:34:11between Jasper Troy and Anthony Luke, and look at this.
00:34:15A massive bear hug center of the ring.
00:34:19And the Reaper right now trying to squeeze the life out of the West Coast Gangster.
00:34:27Oh, they could have got so much mileage out of that.
00:34:31Powerful offense from Jasper Troy, who by the way, all joking aside, has cut about 5% body fat
00:34:39thus far in LFG.
00:34:40But he certainly missed in that moment, and that has allowed Ray to crawl over, reach out.
00:34:46He's so close, finally trying to make the tag to bring in the Bayou Boy.
00:34:51And the party's about to start.
00:34:53Anthony Luke in now against Drake Moreau, who's on fire, the Bayou Boy.
00:34:58Impressing AJ Styles and the legends.
00:35:01Whoa, swing and a miss.
00:35:04Atomic drop.
00:35:06Fouling it up.
00:35:08Hey, hey, hey, big left.
00:35:13Oh, I'm sure somewhere right now, the road dog Jesse James is smiling.
00:35:17A little bit of a two-step from the Bayou into the cover.
00:35:23And Troy saving things for his match.
00:35:25What a tag team contest this has been.
00:35:28Look at VJ.
00:35:28VJ don't look like a star today, man.
00:35:30Why does VJ have a t-shirt on?
00:35:32Remember, the male standout and female standouts for each team will be the
00:35:37delivery method for points on this edition of LFG.
00:35:41Great combination so far from both teams in this tag team match.
00:35:44You can say that, but again, if you're Anthony Luke and you're going to call yourself Showtime,
00:35:47you better show up.
00:35:49And right now, he is getting put down with a massive choke slam into the cover.
00:35:55Big tag team win.
00:35:57I would venture to say that that was the most entertaining match we've seen all season.
00:36:02Entertaining.
00:36:03VJ Ray and the Bayou Boy, Drake Moreau.
00:36:09All right, Bubba Ray, how did your team do?
00:36:15I thought you guys worked really, really well together.
00:36:18It was entertaining.
00:36:20It was exciting.
00:36:24I'm not sure I totally saw enough of the West Coast Gangsta.
00:36:29West Coast, bro, you act small out there.
00:36:32You're going to look small out there.
00:36:33I'm kind of at the point where I'm just kind of keeping my mouth shut, ears open.
00:36:37I was working a baby, and so I just didn't want to come across as a heel, which is difficult for me.
00:36:44I love the Bayou Boy.
00:36:45Like, I enjoy watching you.
00:36:47I want to cheer for you.
00:36:48I want to dance with you.
00:36:51The judges finally happy with one of my performances.
00:36:54It's been a while since I've gotten some positive feedback from them.
00:36:58Anthony Luke, you did a good job.
00:37:00You did a good job. Could have done a whole lot better.
00:37:02You know, the dancing with the Bayou Boy.
00:37:06Get it out.
00:37:08It's not going to work.
00:37:09Not on my team.
00:37:10You have too much talent to be hokey.
00:37:12I know you think you're trying to, oh, I'm being entertaining.
00:37:15And you are entertaining, but it's also a distraction.
00:37:18Your own coach is telling you that.
00:37:20There's a lot for me to improve on, obviously,
00:37:22but I pride myself on being a faster learner than anyone.
00:37:25You're an M-O-U-N-S-T-E-R monster man.
00:37:30I'm talking monster.
00:37:32I'm talking about the Reaper dog.
00:37:37Break the noise.
00:37:40You would look like you're trying to send someone not to the hospital,
00:37:44but to the graveyard.
00:37:45I like that, dude.
00:37:47Yeah, well, no , Sherlock.
00:37:48i'm selling my ass off for him of course he's gonna look like the reaper
00:37:55jasper man it felt genuine to me it felt like you believed you were the reaper
00:38:01regardless of you know what anyone else had to say that day the only person i went in that ring
00:38:06and tried to prove myself to was the undertaker the lane and the category that i'm trying to
00:38:12succeed in there's one man that just you know holds the keys and for him to say that he
00:38:18believes in josh patrol he believes in my work in the ring you know that that just meant the world to me
00:38:25up next in the ring tyra may steel and bailey humphrey versus lee lorrell and panina to aleppa
00:38:33whenever we played rugby like we would say a prayer and then the whole locker room just

00:39:18i mean just do something for me tonight
00:39:29i am the bone collector i am the one who lines up all these victims
00:39:54so when they announced it i was like all right this is it hey you're wearing a gold medal because
00:40:00she's the real deal oh you know what we'll see if she's the real deal right now right we're gonna

00:40:38man i'd be all over there come on man well g rolling on big choice alongside jeremy big money
00:40:46borash here it is moniker week well on lmg i'll tell you what nothing's more fascinating to me than
00:40:51sitting under the learning tree here and just hearing the knowledge the random thoughts the
00:40:55stream of consciousness coming out of our legends as they're seeing these these prize pupils they've
00:41:00taken under their wings try to implement this knowledge in the ring
00:41:04detonate baby detonate i want to focus on that here with lee laurel because there's always been
00:41:09questions about her intensity when she stepped into a ring if you're gonna call yourself a detonator
00:41:14you better be ready to be explosive and early on this has been a different side of lee laurel i
00:41:20mean look at the joint manipulation look at the torque of the body she is out wrestling the wrestler
00:41:25here this week please bring in the heat today being the body language is looking really good
00:41:31i don't know what's happening she's like her confidence picked up over the week or
00:41:36just looking good today it's a detonator that knowledge being implemented is that confidence and
00:41:41you call yourself a detonator you better be ready to live up to that as the real deal tyra may
00:41:46steel is showing here and how about booker t great taking great exception and calling herself the real
00:41:52deal with the obvious elijah holyfield reference and evander holyfield booker took exception to that and i
00:41:59gotta know is booker just trying to get into the head of the undertaker trying to get into the
00:42:04head of tyra may steel with that moniker at the end of this all a man and a woman's gonna have an
00:42:14nxt contract right jb so but also one of these legends is going to be champion
00:42:22some legend one of them the points leader at the end of all this will be awarded the first ever
00:42:28lfg championship title a beautiful title that they will be able to claim as their own and the
00:42:34first ever to do so look at this showdown look at that here we go here we go p nasty the bone collector
00:42:45look at her legs holy cow nice lock up nice lock up nice lock up oh yeah work to lock up yes both
00:42:55like her leg help the lock up she's got quads like me look at her oh my god i'm not gonna comment
00:43:04on that but i will comment on humphrey i mean we talk about how intimidating she is every time she
00:43:08steps into the ring even intimidating this far in the matchup but will she take that next step will she
00:43:14push that door open to start decimating her opponents i mean we've seen at the end of the
00:43:20matches her turn try to crush craniums we know she has it in her but can she keep it consistent and
00:43:25she is just tearing apart the opposition i have seen hundreds of athletes come through the doors of
00:43:30the performance center i've never seen one like bailey humphrey before the bone collector this week on lfg
00:43:39battle of the bones
00:43:40that little big girl there you go big forearm now i'll flip it around to you because she is just decimating
00:43:46right now to use the same word again panina you're gonna call yourself p nasty you better get nasty
00:43:51at some point this is her opportunity to show it and they've gone back to your wrist lock i hate that
00:43:58you whack somebody back and again p nasty i mean if you're gonna call yourself p nasty and nasty side of
00:44:04you would you necessarily tag out would you start to fight back a little bit more i mean these are genuine
00:44:09questions and thoughts these legends have to be thinking she's gonna hold her up there all day
00:44:16oh they're working the bear hug better than the men did
00:44:21look at just getting squeezed right now you can't detonate if you can't even get out the gate
00:44:30oh get out of here there you go get up get up
00:44:35cover now and we see a little bit of explosion from lee laurel i mean this is bailey humphrey's
00:44:42about third or fourth match so young in the game so new to this but really showing some confidence
00:44:48like her rib bones she's not holding back in there that's for sure tag was made and comes
00:44:53back into the matchup is steel calls herself the real deal and she has thrown some real rights
00:44:58thrown some real left big kick to the midsection and right now is controlling this match oh my goodness
00:45:04oh red suplex wasn't exactly controlling lila rel with that but tyra gets overzealous and she gets
00:45:11she makes me nervous
00:45:14a tag made here comes panina
00:45:18and now p nasty showing that nasty side couple of clothes lines into a cover hook of the leg
00:45:24bone collector was not allowing the other team to collect the w here tonight she is coming in she is
00:45:28wreaking havoc she is cleaning house but there's p nasty throwing some rights
00:45:31licking the chops but it's two on one because the detonator was sent to the outside p nasty don't give a
00:45:39damn just dropped the real deal into the cover look at the detonator holding on to humphrey what a
00:45:45a win
00:46:01all right i'm gonna start with our special guest the phenomenal aj styles aj how did the detonator do here
00:46:09today your moniker it looked like you had it right from the get-go which i like somebody lit
00:46:14it before you walked out that's good p nasty i was expecting something like a hair pull or something
00:46:20like that girl's nasty dude so be p nasty i sense so much rage in you you know if you had a coach that
00:46:26could get it out of you it's there and i think you've only scratched the surface of what your potential
00:46:33is it was a shot it was a shot i should have made it a lot more nasty but there's only so much that we
00:46:40could fit in to a tag match to show and put over each person's character lee whatever has clicked over
00:46:47this last week you brought a different game today and you brought your a game and it showed
00:46:52that is what i needed to hear because i may have the image of a star but i want to be known
00:46:58as also an athlete i've always been an athlete as far as the real deal
00:47:06you did a great job you know i mean as far as the wrestling goes
00:47:12it could have been a little bit more structured you know but that's coaching uh uh jobs right there
00:47:17but but the bone collector your legs and your body structure everything is just so freaking tight
00:47:23you got to be able to use that let me give you an example uh for a second mickey can i borrow you
00:47:30oh god can i borrow you uh just like say for instance from the side headlock position
00:47:35i never cared about this guy only thing i cared about was my side chest pose
00:47:42how well i look that bicep who was taking a picture trust me poster poster poster that's the only
00:47:49thing you need to think about god i wish you was under my expert dude lynch because that's another
00:47:54story oh yeah yeah so we can do the hustle all right you gotta remember who you are and at the end

00:49:26again as each week has passed the magnifying glass looks in a little bit deeper and a little bit
00:49:34bigger for each one of these athletes holyfield could just do this based off his looks he would own it
00:49:41good lord he's shredding big shout out to the phenomenal aj style joining us this week
00:49:48here on legends and future greats vic joseph alongside jb jaren warrath
00:49:54he just jumped up to the apron with one foot like just one leg just jumped out of the
00:50:20oh yeah he's a freak athlete moniker that i came up with for myself was the superhuman superstar
00:50:27just because people always come up to me and tell me wow like how did you get like this this isn't
00:50:32normal this isn't real look at that look at that instrument what i've been trying to do with troy
00:50:39is to be able to pull out his personality his emotion to get to that part of it because everything
00:50:45else he makes it look easy well some would say yearwood has superhuman abilities inside the ring
00:50:52and he might be the one who has the moniker this week nailed down just right well let's see if we
00:50:57can live up to that moniker as we are going to see chris island now and elijah holyfield
00:51:01oh yes sir tag team action lfg again one man one woman will have an nxt contract it's all about the
00:51:12point system you take a look at all these legends they're also trying to win a championship and a big
00:51:17decision still to come with the help of aj styles who will earn that point who will earn that small
00:51:24individual victory but on a team level will it be one of these four we're going to find out here tonight
00:51:29as we've had quite the night and it's been all about one thing living up to your money well you
00:51:34can tell by the look at aj styles face the eyes the smile he is feeling good about the performance
00:51:40center and he believes that the future of our industry is in good hands seeing these future greats
00:51:47and the way they go about business has been some something of an eye-opener for aj styles getting to
00:51:52see some of them for the first time he's so far very impressed well here comes the superhuman superstar
00:51:59someone who can certainly jump out of a gym and when it comes to the gym he can do it all when it
00:52:03comes to throwing around weight has a nice one punch don't touch my arm again he said don't touch my
00:52:11arm again well tag was made in comes the hellraiser but you saw the warrior buckled an easy yearwood
00:52:17with just one punch well jockeying for position in this moment and another tag made
00:52:27pace starting to quicken and island taken downhill into the cover hook and leg and a near fall i'm
00:52:34going to say this for their monikers as well tough to live up to that how do you be the hellraiser in
00:52:39the ring how do you be the promised child it's a great moniker sounds great but implementing that
00:52:44living up to that is the challenge here this week oh don't let him out don't let him out
00:52:52god dang it a little bit of a mistake but even yearwood was smart enough to know he did not want
00:52:56to be on the wrong right hand from a power punch from the warrior himself as holyfield has checked back
00:53:03into the matchup and now another tag was made the hellraiser is back in and it's a two-on-one and i tell
00:53:09you this chris island he's in the wrong island far away from his teammate center of the ring double
00:53:15suplex into the cover hook of the leg in a near fall
00:53:21and now you see the hellraiser locking in another submission wearing down his opposition
00:53:26have you seen any of their monikers any monikers any monikers yet have you seen any monikers have
00:53:36you seen any yet that's about it talking about the warrior but right now chris island
00:53:43and a gut-wrench suplex and hill is certainly raising some hell here tonight and was almost
00:54:00able to get a victory for his team but chris island right now he is far away from where he needs to be
00:54:06the warrior talking a little bit of smack right here and right now chris island who looked like he
00:54:27was fading is trying to fight back up can the promised child deliver
00:54:31the warrior just went to a side headlock
00:54:40the monikers are trying to live up to sometimes sometimes it's hard no one's really living up to
00:54:50chris island who looked like he was fading is trying to fight back up get to his feet break the
00:54:55hole create separation and make a tag with the warrior just slamming the door shut
00:55:01look at this elijah holly goes out big back body drops can chris island make the tag shiloh
00:55:07shiloh who knows oh able to stop it not close enough well wait a minute
00:55:15and in comes that super human super star who's gonna need a super effort to rally in this match
00:55:23we've talked about the athletic prowess of troy yearwood
00:55:27whoa big power slam and when it's on display it's spectacular as we're just witnessing right now
00:55:33manny moonsault
00:55:36all right
00:55:39who's best outing
00:55:41i was expecting a lot more from that match huh i was expecting a lot more than that match than i thought
00:55:47yeah
00:55:53all right let's get some feedback undertaker guys what was the assignment show your moniker
00:56:03crystallize your moniker wood yeah i feel like you did that absolutely yeah that's a problem
00:56:10this was to showcase what your moniker was by far your best outing i think of the whole competition
00:56:24you shine and you look great and you need to thank those guys everybody for that so your work the things
00:56:31that you're doing is getting better but the assignment was to showcase your moniker and prove
00:56:37why you are the holy field warrior the hellraiser there was nothing the hellraiser about anything
00:56:44that he did he ended up selling pretty much the whole match and i think he can win this whole thing
00:56:50but he's got to be more consistent especially where we're going now everyone definitely wrestled really
00:56:56well but i think if we had a better structure we could have probably communicated those monikers better
00:57:01you have to be able to convey the message to the fans not once do i look over and go oh my god
00:57:08that's the promised child according to them they didn't get the message once again i put my best foot
00:57:14forward and they just stayed on you know they're not seeing it i was expecting a lot more from you guys
00:57:20every one of you i wanted to see it nothing matters but what the judges think because if i can get your
00:57:25approval and you've been doing this for 30 years then every other fan is going to like it as well
00:57:29you're listening to a set of people that's had over a hundred years of experience in the ring so you
00:57:35guys are going to get there but i don't think really anybody showed a good presence of that moniker
00:57:41all right thank you legends it's almost time to award the points one point best female
00:57:46one point best male who lived up to the monikers here today thank you gentlemen
00:57:50thank you the judges thought that we didn't necessarily complete the assignment however
00:57:57they enjoyed my fire my athleticism and i needed this because it's been six or seven weeks without
00:58:03good feedback in the judges eyes so now i feel a little more excited to show them that
00:58:08this isn't it i have so much more in the tank the matches are over and now comes the critical juncture
00:58:15aj styles opinion which future greats impressed enough to earn a point for their teams all right
00:58:21first of all i'd like to thank our special guest today aj styles for being here
00:58:28he is indeed and always has been the phenomenal one and today was about finding a name picking a name
00:58:35and living up to it aj you will be the one to give the final point today one of our men and one of our
00:58:41women but before we get to you and that decision legends want to hear from you look what did you
00:58:47think today some stood out more than others but everybody i think is on the right track but truly
00:58:56understand that guys this is crunch time and it's really going to get only harder the sand in the
00:59:03hourglass is running out sink or swim it's only going to be one at the top you put on some of the best
00:59:10matches that we've seen but this was strictly about monikers and a different style match speaking
00:59:17of monikers dead man what do you say overall everyone's getting better and as we get to the
00:59:24end of this thing that's what we need to see you guys need to figure out how you're going to separate
00:59:29yourself from the rest of the pack we're down to it now i mean you have to dial in and i think it's
00:59:35going to really set up next week when we get here and they really realize that it's either show up or
00:59:41go home so by a show of hands who did not understand what the assignment was today
00:59:50so you all understood what the assignment was today so no excuses
00:59:55well aj ultimately everything comes down to you my man what do you say
01:00:04well aj ultimately everything comes down to you my man what do you say well first i want to thank you
01:00:10for letting me be here at lfg uh honor and a privilege monikers bayou boy and reaper both stood
01:00:19out to me i think you guys did a very good job making me realize who you were trying to be who you
01:00:24were trying to live up to so it was a bit of a hard decision but i think at the end of the day
01:00:31reaper i think you showed me a lot of intensity i liked the way you were in there you weren't
01:00:36sitting to the hospital you're sending him to the graveyard i kind of like that man i like that
01:00:40intensity so you're my guy team booker needed the point and you know aj styles is someone that i've
01:00:47looked up to and it was a great moment i'm happy for him i'm glad he got the point but
01:00:53at the same time i want the point ladies little devil because i'll screw it up i've tried to say
01:01:01it spanish thought you did a really good job and oxymoron also thought you did a really good job
01:01:08but again it comes down to your moniker and were you that moniker and
01:01:14oxymoron i thought you did a really really good job really great job i didn't understand it what
01:01:23you were trying to tell me as you gave me the moniker but when you got out there i got it immediately
01:01:30when he awarded me that point it was just like whoa i thought you didn't like it but i was so happy
01:01:36because that meant that i got the fifth point for team bubba it did suck that the point went to xena
01:01:43but the fact that i've been here now for four months it just shows how quick i'm picking this up
01:01:50team bubba gets a point and is no longer tied for last place while team booker inches closer to
01:01:56retaking the lead but now the real battle begins as the teams brace themselves for next week's eliminations
01:02:04i don't want to cut any of my team i think i have such a great team today you really shined it was
01:02:10good i'm sorry to get us support it's all right but these are the breaks that come with professional
01:02:16wrestling and that's sad for us all next week we start cutting people get over or get out
01:02:25bubba gonna be sitting back with his popcorn go ahead mickey cut two of them and while you're at it
01:02:33more butter eliminations are coming and boy am i ready because let's cut the fat out of this
01:02:40competition my message to the other future greats is be scared because i'm coming to get that contract
01:02:46i don't know who's going home first but it will not be tire may still so if you want to complain
01:02:55bye i'm not going home without a fight and i'm looking at every single person here being like
01:03:02you can steal my spot that next time on lfg today begins the first round of the lfg playoff
01:03:17you will face your own teammate ladies first it's going to be you or them our teammates after
01:03:24oh wait a minute not so fast so much for teammates yeah you can kind of finally see you're starting to
01:03:31think like oh okay this run might be over what do you think danny's greatest strength is and her
01:03:37greatest weakness a weakness of hers is how to really stand out i see a fine line between cockiness and
01:03:44and confidence and i don't like people who are cocky give it back to her oh my god i don't
01:03:50want to be the first one to be eliminated i need to do the right thing um i don't think nikki's decided
01:03:57yet i've been an olympic gold medalist and i have somebody who i feel is going to change the face of
01:04:04women's wrestling tyra
