00:00:00Begins now.
00:00:01At the end of this show, these eight will become four.
00:00:06Previously on LFG.
00:00:09So the person I'm gonna send home is you, Troy.
00:00:15Double underhook.
00:00:16I would be doing you a disservice right now if I move you along.
00:00:22You stay, you go.
00:00:25I'm looking for the guy that's gonna go out there and he's gonna be the first
00:00:28and that person just tried.
00:00:37After the eliminations of eight out of the 16 future greats,
00:00:41the mood at the Performance Center has changed.
00:00:44This was the first time we walked in and the whole crew wasn't here.
00:00:48And I feel like all of us just got a sense of like, yeah, this is real.
00:00:52All right, guys, I shut the hell up, all right?
00:00:55Because it's time to spin this sumbitch up, all right?
00:01:00Yes.
00:01:02Thanks for priming it for me, book.
00:01:03Obviously, hello, everybody.
00:01:08This has been one hell of a journey.
00:01:10Quite a lot's gone on.
00:01:11Had some injuries.
00:01:13Oh!
00:01:13Oh!
00:01:14This past weekend, I've stayed an injury to my shoulder.
00:01:19Ow!
00:01:20I just woke up with pretty bad back pain.
00:01:23Some ups, some downs, some wins, some losses.
00:01:25Very much symbolic of how your careers could possibly go,
00:01:29because that's how most of them go.
00:01:31Atmosphere is a little tense, you know?
00:01:33People are very unsure about what's gonna happen.
00:01:37Started with 16, whittled it down to 8.
00:01:41And now today, it's time to whittle it down to 4.
00:01:45Who's gonna have the opportunity to have that journey continue?
00:01:49And who doesn't?
00:01:53It's never good seeing your co-workers' dreams get crushed.
00:01:58I'm not really too concerned about it,
00:02:00because I'm a professional.
00:02:02I do it every time.
00:02:02I show up and I show out.
00:02:05Come on.
00:02:08Talk to them.
00:02:09Let's go.
00:02:10Welcome to the ultimate proving ground.
00:02:1316 future greats.
00:02:15Let's go.
00:02:16When they ask them, they're the best,
00:02:18or will they mention?
00:02:18The evolution from a...
00:02:20Four legends.
00:02:22He is the epitome of WrestleMania!
00:02:25I have broke down barriers for women.
00:02:28Be mine at the table!
00:02:31Can't you dig that sucker?
00:02:34A chance to win an NXT contract.
00:02:39Every legend has a first chapter.
00:02:42And the future starts now.
00:02:48You boy ready down there, Mickey?
00:02:55It's time for Shiloh to eat.
00:02:56Oh, is he hungry?
00:02:57Yeah, it's time for him to eat.
00:02:59You know what I'm wondering?
00:03:00I'm wondering if Chris Island got what it takes.
00:03:03I'm wondering if Shiloh has what it takes.
00:03:05I want to see it right here in the middle of the bubble.
00:03:10Give me some.
00:03:11Chris Island needs to have the day of his life tonight.
00:03:16Damn right.
00:03:17That's what he does every day.
00:03:18He walks out here.
00:03:20You know, we can go out there and wrestle all day
00:03:21and have great matches.
00:03:23Without the story, without a reason,
00:03:25then who cares?
00:03:26You got some stuff to talk about, Shiloh.
00:03:28There's a lot you can say.
00:03:30You got some clever stuff.
00:03:31Absolutely.
00:03:31You got to walk him in, talk him in.
00:03:32This is the hardest part.
00:03:34Yeah.
00:03:34You know you're living rent-free in his head already.
00:03:36Yes, sir.
00:03:37You've been on him all year.
00:03:38Yes, sir.
00:03:39Now we're going to put some asses in seats.
00:03:40This is what we're going to do.
00:03:41Yes, sir.
00:03:42Spin this up, bitch.
00:03:43You know what I mean?
00:03:49Shiloh Hill, you ready?
00:03:50Oh, yeah.
00:03:51Chris Island, you ready?
00:03:52I always.
00:03:53Ring the bell!
00:03:54Ring the damn bell!
00:03:56Look, Shiloh, I'm a real competitor.
00:03:58So I'm going to tell you this right now.
00:03:59I'm happy that you're here.
00:04:01This is the LFG Semis.
00:04:03This is history.
00:04:04This is first ever.
00:04:05So may the best man win.
00:04:09We're good, bro.
00:04:10I'm glad you're happy.
00:04:12You should be happy,
00:04:13because after the day,
00:04:14if the best man wins,
00:04:16you get to go home.
00:04:17Shout out to, what is it,
00:04:18Vacaville?
00:04:18Where are you from?
00:04:19Hey, watch your mouth.
00:04:20I'm going to tell you this one time.
00:04:21Don't ever speak about that city.
00:04:23Sounds like I'm kind of in your head, bro.
00:04:25That's the difference between you and me.
00:04:27You need a reason to get nasty.
00:04:29Me?
00:04:29I'm just nasty.
00:04:30I hurt people because it's fun,
00:04:32and I'm here fighting for my spot
00:04:34because I love violence.
00:04:36You, you, you love violence.
00:04:38I'm tired of this act.
00:04:39I'm tired of this tough guy act.
00:04:41I'm tired of the spitting.
00:04:42I'm tired of the yelling.
00:04:43Why don't you be real?
00:04:44What happened last time?
00:04:45What happened our first time wrestling?
00:04:46Bring that up.
00:04:46Bring that up, bro.
00:04:47Bring that up.
00:04:48I dare you, bro.
00:04:48What happened?
00:04:49You was slumped down on the mat,
00:04:51chewed it up,
00:04:52and I was walking away healthy.
00:04:54Bro, I dare you to bring that up again.
00:04:55I dare you to throw that izi out there, bro.
00:04:57I dare you to punch me in my face, bro.
00:05:00Knock my teeth down.
00:05:01Kick me in my head.
00:05:01You already lost me.
00:05:02I dare you.
00:05:04And after all that,
00:05:05go ahead and sleep on the show.
00:05:06I dare you.
00:05:07You already did it.
00:05:08You don't have to dare me.
00:05:09I already did it.
00:05:10I already did it.
00:05:11All right.
00:05:12And I'll do it again.
00:05:13Okay.
00:05:13Nothing about me and Shiloh Hill's segment
00:05:17wasn't real.
00:05:19We looked each other in the eyes
00:05:20and meant everything that we said.
00:05:22And it was really in that segment
00:05:24I understood what this entire competition
00:05:26has been for
00:05:27and what Undertaker has been preaching
00:05:29and what Mickey has been preaching
00:05:30and Booker and Bubba.
00:05:31Everyone has been preaching that realness.
00:05:34We started out pretty, like, cordial and everything.
00:05:37And by the time the thing ended,
00:05:38I think we were both in the mindset
00:05:40to get ready to go, for sure.
00:05:42Next to face off
00:05:44are Panina Tualepa and Zena Sterling.
00:05:47It's not a game.
00:05:48All right.
00:05:49This is your career.
00:05:50It's your meat on the table.
00:05:51You don't want anybody to take that.
00:05:53I need you to find
00:05:54the most serious version of yourself
00:05:56that exists right now.
00:05:59Just keep a straight face the whole time?
00:06:01Just look right at her
00:06:02and never say a word.
00:06:06And when the time's right,
00:06:07turn your back.
00:06:10Turn your back to her.
00:06:16I don't know.
00:06:17I'm just...
00:06:18I'm spitballing.
00:06:20This moment is about you.
00:06:22This is your time
00:06:23if we can take it all the way.
00:06:24Everything that happened
00:06:25up until this day,
00:06:26forget about it.
00:06:27The tournament starts today.
00:06:29Let's get it done.
00:06:30Let's get it done.
00:06:33To me, it's all fun and games.
00:06:35When I get to start spitting,
00:06:37what I spit.
00:06:39This is where P-Nasty come out to play.
00:06:42Ring the bell!
00:06:46Tina, you are all talk.
00:06:49When you step in that ring,
00:06:50you are just a watered-down version
00:06:52of this.
00:06:53Tina, shut the hell up with all that!
00:06:56Now, who told you that?
00:06:57Bubba?
00:06:58You went over there,
00:06:59you got breastfed by Bubba?
00:07:00Is that who told you that?
00:07:02Whack-ass line?
00:07:03Come on now.
00:07:04Today is the day
00:07:06where I will put you
00:07:08on your f***ing ass
00:07:09and it's over.
00:07:10I'm going to New York.
00:07:11You know where that is?
00:07:12I don't even think you know
00:07:13how to spell New York.
00:07:13and you breastfeed.
00:07:18She don't even know what to say.
00:07:19That's right.
00:07:19She's lost.
00:07:20Uh-huh.
00:07:21In the beginning of the show,
00:07:23Zena was just non-stop talking.
00:07:24She loved to talk.
00:07:25I could talk all day,
00:07:27all month,
00:07:27all week,
00:07:28all year!
00:07:29I felt like
00:07:30taking that turn left,
00:07:32being more silent
00:07:33was
00:07:33a great idea for me.
00:07:36Do my talking
00:07:37in the rink.
00:07:39She's got in your face
00:07:40and told you off.
00:07:41Why would you let you
00:07:42out of my face?
00:07:43She didn't even get in my face.
00:07:45She got in the ear
00:07:45because she's too damn scared
00:07:46to go face to face like this.
00:07:48Uh-huh.
00:07:48Yeah.
00:07:48This right here,
00:07:49this is going to be
00:07:50the last face you see
00:07:51when I f***ing hit your ass.
00:07:53Your ass better be
00:07:54big enough to manage
00:07:55up to take some.
00:07:56Zena Sterling
00:07:59decides to turn around
00:08:01and walk out
00:08:02after giving me
00:08:03a little whisper
00:08:04in my ear.
00:08:05I'll handle it in the ring.
00:08:07Okay.
00:08:08Whatever that means.
00:08:09She turned her back
00:08:10on you
00:08:11and she walked away.
00:08:13You were left
00:08:15in the middle.
00:08:16You got walked out on.
00:08:18He told her,
00:08:19Zena, do this, this, this
00:08:20and that
00:08:20and say this.
00:08:21All of this
00:08:22that come out of me
00:08:23that she said
00:08:23it's all wrong.
00:08:24Unpucked.
00:08:25Any guts whatsoever
00:08:26you would have done
00:08:28something about it.
00:08:29He's talking about
00:08:30it, Mr. DiRola.
00:08:32You would have done
00:08:32something about it.
00:08:34You did nothing.
00:08:36You know what?
00:08:37He's trying to save face.
00:08:38He's trying to save face.
00:08:40He's trying to,
00:08:41this is movies.
00:08:42What did you say?
00:08:42That's what she said.
00:08:43Movies?
00:08:43This is movies?
00:08:44Oh yeah.
00:08:44Oh yeah.
00:08:45You bring nothing out of me.
00:08:46You bring nothing.
00:08:48You bring nothing.
00:08:50Oh please, Panina.
00:08:51Don't make me bury you
00:08:53in front of the cameras
00:08:54and your friends.
00:08:55Bubba, don't start now.
00:08:56Don't make me bury you, Panina.
00:08:59What's wrong, Panina?
00:08:59You letting it get
00:09:00under your skin?
00:09:01Huh?
00:09:01You can't tell the difference?
00:09:02Hell no, I can't tell
00:09:03the difference
00:09:03because I think you're weird
00:09:04and I think she weird.
00:09:05Don't talk.
00:09:06Zena's ass in trouble.
00:09:07Between two of your mouth,
00:09:08I really can't tell the difference.
00:09:09A tail?
00:09:10Ain't no tails over here.
00:09:12Mm-mm.
00:09:13No tails.
00:09:14S*** must be getting
00:09:14real for you folks.
00:09:16See what I'm saying?
00:09:17Might be getting real
00:09:18for you, Bubba.
00:09:18Things don't look
00:09:22to be slowing down
00:09:23as Jasper Troy
00:09:24and B.J. Ray
00:09:25are due up
00:09:26for the next confrontation.
00:09:28Man, this ain't gonna be
00:09:29no promo.
00:09:29This is gonna be
00:09:30real as real can get.
00:09:31B.J. is gonna eat
00:09:32your f***ing lunch.
00:09:34B.J.
00:09:35It's a father B.
00:09:36Are you kidding me?
00:09:37You know what?
00:09:38What's the closest hospital?
00:09:40Because we might be
00:09:40going there
00:09:41in a couple minutes.
00:09:43I'm gonna blow this guy
00:09:44out of the park
00:09:44by a landslide.
00:09:46Dude's really got nothing
00:09:47but a grumpy face.
00:09:48Calls himself a monster.
00:09:49He's only a monster
00:09:50because people make him
00:09:51look like a monster,
00:09:52specifically me.
00:09:53You've been talking
00:09:54so much smack
00:09:57this entire season.
00:09:59You've made it
00:10:00to the semifinals.
00:10:02You're gonna go face-to-face
00:10:03with Jasper right now.
00:10:05I gotta tell you
00:10:06when it comes to the match,
00:10:08he's got the definitive edge.
00:10:11However,
00:10:12you could take his legs
00:10:13out from under him
00:10:13real damn quick
00:10:15and send him into that match
00:10:17with absolutely
00:10:18no confidence.
00:10:20Tonight, it's about you.
00:10:21It ain't about him.
00:10:22All right?
00:10:22It's about you
00:10:23going out here
00:10:24and taking care of business
00:10:25like you've been doing
00:10:26since day one.
00:10:27Make him think
00:10:28maybe he's not as good
00:10:29as everybody
00:10:30has made him out to be.
00:10:32Don't change nothing.
00:10:34Don't change your attitude.
00:10:35Don't change your approach.
00:10:36Don't change the way
00:10:37you go out there
00:10:37and take care of your business.
00:10:38Go out there
00:10:39and get it done.
00:10:40Just imagine
00:10:40how Jasper,
00:10:42how seriously
00:10:43he's taking this.
00:10:44Right?
00:10:44Yes, coach.
00:10:45Just imagine
00:10:45if you are the guy
00:10:46that sends him home.
00:10:49BJ Ray,
00:10:49are you ready?
00:10:50I'm ready.
00:10:51Jasper Troy,
00:10:51are you ready?
00:10:52You know,
00:10:55I think I'll start
00:10:56this one off,
00:10:56big guy.
00:10:56What do you think?
00:10:57Yeah?
00:10:59Jasper Troy.
00:11:01Big.
00:11:02Bad.
00:11:04Monster.
00:11:06As some would say.
00:11:07Kind of reminds me
00:11:08of an old Disney movie.
00:11:11Beauty and the Beast.
00:11:13But the problem is,
00:11:13Jasper,
00:11:14is I don't see
00:11:15much of a beast
00:11:16standing in front of me.
00:11:17What do you think?
00:11:19I think you're a jackass.
00:11:22To be honest,
00:11:22I don't know
00:11:23how you wound up here.
00:11:24I don't take you serious,
00:11:26BJ.
00:11:26And to be honest,
00:11:28you don't take
00:11:28yourself serious.
00:11:30That's why you laugh,
00:11:31you make all these jokes,
00:11:32you act like a dip ass.
00:11:33How could you be
00:11:35a superstar?
00:11:36How could you think
00:11:37that you're leading
00:11:38this show?
00:11:39You've had more injuries
00:11:40than you've had matches.
00:11:41Be for real with yourself,
00:11:43BJ.
00:11:43You know what you are?
00:11:45What's that, baby?
00:11:46You're a two-minute segment
00:11:47before commercial break.
00:11:49Oh, wow.
00:11:54Before the physical matches
00:11:57can begin,
00:11:58the future greats
00:11:58must battle each other
00:12:00with their wits alone.
00:12:01I feel all this hate
00:12:03I feel all this jealousy.
00:12:05You know,
00:12:05I think we could all agree
00:12:06that hate stems from jealousy.
00:12:08I mean,
00:12:09just like when I was
00:12:09back in college,
00:12:10risen up all these baddies,
00:12:12it was always
00:12:13the fat, ugly bitches
00:12:15that hated me.
00:12:17And now I'm out here
00:12:17in the WWE
00:12:18and I got one
00:12:19right in front of me.
00:12:20What?
00:12:21Holy shnikes.
00:12:23Uh-uh.
00:12:23You need Twitter followers.
00:12:24You need someone saying,
00:12:26BJ Ray, you're so great.
00:12:27You're so amazing.
00:12:28You're the next superstar.
00:12:29BJ, people on the internet
00:12:31don't write checks
00:12:32and they damn sure
00:12:33don't book these shows.
00:12:35As far as him
00:12:35getting in my head,
00:12:36you know,
00:12:37that could never happen.
00:12:38He's not good enough
00:12:39to really get under my skin.
00:12:41The only reason
00:12:42anything you say,
00:12:43this whole embodiment
00:12:44has any emphasis
00:12:45is because Booker T
00:12:46f*** rides you.
00:12:47Yeah, you ask early
00:12:48if somebody wants to talk to you,
00:12:48you f*** ride his ass
00:12:49and you pop for everything
00:12:50he does.
00:12:51How many points
00:12:52has he won?
00:12:52How many points
00:12:53has he won?
00:12:53Outside the competition,
00:12:54how many points
00:12:56have he won?
00:12:57What have you done?
00:12:57So guess what, Jasper?
00:12:58What have you done?
00:12:59How many points
00:13:00have BJ got?
00:13:00No, no, no, no.
00:13:01How many points
00:13:01has he won?
00:13:02I mean, look what
00:13:02we're going to count him up.
00:13:03He's so mad.
00:13:04Because they only have
00:13:05three points.
00:13:06So how many of those
00:13:07three points did you win?
00:13:08Hey, listen,
00:13:08I have something
00:13:09that you don't have.
00:13:10What?
00:13:10I have something
00:13:10called courage.
00:13:11You want to know why?
00:13:11Because it doesn't take
00:13:12much of you
00:13:13walking around this place
00:13:14being six foot six,
00:13:14three hundred something pounds.
00:13:16But look at my circumstances,
00:13:17Jasper.
00:13:17I became a monster
00:13:18and I've never
00:13:19bent my knee
00:13:20to anybody ever.
00:13:22And I'm definitely
00:13:23not going to bend
00:13:24my knee to you
00:13:24and your schmuck ass
00:13:25when we get in the ring.
00:13:26So how about we step in there
00:13:27and we find out
00:13:28about it, big boy?
00:13:29Huh?
00:13:30Yeah.
00:13:31Yeah.
00:13:31You're only laughing
00:13:32because you're nervous.
00:13:33No, I'm laughing
00:13:33because you're a joke.
00:13:36Jasper,
00:13:36if you need help
00:13:37on verbal assault lessons,
00:13:38just let me know
00:13:39because we all know
00:13:40he's the king of this
00:13:40and I cooked him.
00:13:42Monster.
00:13:45Joke ass.
00:13:45Wow.
00:13:46It's going to be good.
00:13:49I think somebody's
00:13:50thinking a little hard
00:13:52right now about that.
00:13:53I mean,
00:13:54it's coming from somebody
00:13:54who had won a point.
00:13:56Hey, is Booker
00:13:56riding his teammate again?
00:13:58You're damn right
00:13:59if he's riding my team.
00:14:00Hey, I'm going to show you.
00:14:02Hey, don't worry, bud.
00:14:02We're going to show his ass.
00:14:03I mean, is your team winning?
00:14:05We're going to show his ass, yeah.
00:14:06Is your team winning?
00:14:06Keep talking, bud.
00:14:07Keep talking.
00:14:09Next to face off
00:14:10are Danny Sikalski
00:14:12and Tyra Mae Steele
00:14:13who have some history
00:14:14of their own.
00:14:16You have some stuff
00:14:16you want to say?
00:14:17Get off your chest?
00:14:19I just, uh,
00:14:20I don't want to be
00:14:21overlooked against her again,
00:14:22you know?
00:14:22Yeah.
00:14:23Two times now.
00:14:25Both of you
00:14:26should be very proud
00:14:27of what you just did.
00:14:29I'm going to have to go.
00:14:30Tyra.
00:14:30on the lady's side,
00:14:32it's Tyra.
00:14:34Don't be afraid
00:14:35to get a little...
00:14:36Yeah, gritty.
00:14:37I just, like,
00:14:37I need to bring
00:14:38that side of me out
00:14:39because I feel like...
00:14:40Gnarly.
00:14:40Because of my size,
00:14:41my background.
00:14:42If I don't have
00:14:43that scrappy side,
00:14:45people often are like,
00:14:47view me as weak.
00:14:48So,
00:14:48we don't want that.
00:14:49Right.
00:14:49I want you
00:14:50in her head
00:14:51for the rest of the night
00:14:52until she comes
00:14:53face to face
00:14:54with who's going
00:14:55to send her home.
00:14:57You got that?
00:14:58I got that.
00:14:58Do you got it?
00:14:59I got that.
00:15:00I know you do.
00:15:01Now go tell her.
00:15:02Okay?
00:15:03Let's get it done.
00:15:04Come on.
00:15:05Come on.
00:15:06Yes.
00:15:06If you can live
00:15:07rent-free
00:15:08in somebody's head
00:15:09going into the
00:15:10semifinals and finals,
00:15:11you're winning the game.
00:15:13I'm going to start here.
00:15:14Skirt!
00:15:14Why are you still
00:15:15in the ring with me
00:15:16when we've already
00:15:17done this one
00:15:18and two times?
00:15:19Do you really think
00:15:20you have what it takes
00:15:21to try to beat me
00:15:22again?
00:15:24It's funny
00:15:24because you're pulling
00:15:25the words right
00:15:26out of my mouth
00:15:27because I knew
00:15:27what everyone was saying
00:15:29the first time
00:15:29we got in the ring.
00:15:30What is someone
00:15:31with three months
00:15:32of experience,
00:15:33a cheerleader
00:15:34doing against
00:15:34an Olympic gold medalist?
00:15:36And what did I do?
00:15:37I held my own.
00:15:39They have fallen
00:15:39short of the win,
00:15:40but I held my own.
00:15:41Why are you backing up?
00:15:42Step to me
00:15:43like you actually
00:15:43mean something.
00:15:44There you go.
00:15:45I was like,
00:15:46the audacity
00:15:46of this chick
00:15:47to come and step
00:15:48up to me again
00:15:49and thinks
00:15:49that she can run
00:15:50her mouth.
00:15:51What have you done
00:15:52with your life?
00:15:53What have I done
00:15:53with my life?
00:15:54What makes you think
00:15:55you can step in here
00:15:56with me?
00:15:56What have I done
00:15:57with my life?
00:15:58I have a gold medal
00:15:58sitting at home too,
00:16:00but I don't use it
00:16:01to ride myself
00:16:02through this career.
00:16:02And what have you done?
00:16:04What have you done?
00:16:04What have you done?
00:16:05She just told you
00:16:06that her gold medal
00:16:07is a champion for it.
00:16:09What is your gold medal?
00:16:10Miss queen of level up?
00:16:11What is your gold medal in?
00:16:13I'm a world champion.
00:16:14World champion?
00:16:15I am a two-time
00:16:16world champion
00:16:17and an Olympic gold medalist.
00:16:19And I know you.
00:16:20Just because you are
00:16:21a freaking gold medalist
00:16:22does not make you
00:16:24the right to stay up
00:16:25and hear it to me.
00:16:26All right?
00:16:27Gold medalist or not,
00:16:28I made it known
00:16:29that I represent
00:16:31this country.
00:16:31I look at you
00:16:33and I see a wannabe
00:16:34cowboy's cheerleader.
00:16:35So you can take your behind
00:16:36and you can go somewhere else.
00:16:37Wannabe, but I was already
00:16:38on that stage, girlfriend.
00:16:39But you kind of don't
00:16:39got a behind.
00:16:40So I'm going to show you
00:16:41as I walk away.
00:16:42Okay.
00:16:45Body shame.
00:16:46That's great.
00:16:47That's a good one.
00:16:48People have come out
00:16:48to my whole damn life.
00:16:50I'm a heel.
00:16:51I'm body shame all day.
00:16:53There ain't no rules
00:16:53when you're a heel.
00:16:54Hear what she said?
00:16:55I'm a heel.
00:16:55I told you she was.
00:16:58You're all buying
00:16:58this babyface bull****.
00:17:00She hates everybody.
00:17:05She's taking it too serious.
00:17:07She's not there crying.
00:17:09What the crud?
00:17:11She looked at me
00:17:12in the face
00:17:12and basically told me,
00:17:14one, I was worth nothing
00:17:15and two, I can't do something.
00:17:16So that's where I come in
00:17:18and say, well,
00:17:19then I'm just going to
00:17:19have to do it.
00:17:24Welcome in ringside.
00:17:25Vic Joseph,
00:17:25wrong side Jeremy Boras.
00:17:27You can feel the energy
00:17:28because it is a big night
00:17:30here on LFG.
00:17:31Charlie is Vic tonight,
00:17:32the semifinals
00:17:33of Legends and Future Greats.
00:17:35The 16 became eight.
00:17:37Tonight,
00:17:37we're going to narrow it
00:17:38down to four.
00:17:39Who will go on
00:17:39to the finals
00:17:40and ultimately end up
00:17:41with an NXT contract?
00:17:43We're kicking things off
00:17:44right now.
00:17:49The following contest
00:17:50is scheduled for one fall.
00:17:52Introducing first,
00:17:53representing
00:17:54Team Undertaker
00:17:56from Houston, Texas.
00:17:58is Tyra Mae Steele.
00:18:03Let's talk about
00:18:04this opening contest
00:18:05because we're looking
00:18:05at an Olympian.
00:18:07You see the gold medal.
00:18:09She is looking
00:18:10to bury her opponent
00:18:12six feet under.
00:18:14Well, we've certainly
00:18:15seen the Undertaker's influence
00:18:16on Tyra Mae Steele
00:18:17since the get-go.
00:18:18This is a rematch
00:18:19from the very first episode
00:18:21of Legends and Future Greats.
00:18:23Here we will see
00:18:24in the progression
00:18:24right before
00:18:25our very own eyes
00:18:26and who will go on
00:18:29to compete in the finals
00:18:30next week here on LFG.
00:18:32And her opponent
00:18:41representing Team Mickey James
00:18:44from Stanford, Connecticut
00:18:45Danny
00:18:46Sikilski.
00:18:47This is one of your favorites,
00:18:50JB.
00:18:51The Spitfire
00:18:52of LFG.
00:18:53Danny Sikilski
00:18:54held her own.
00:18:55We saw that verbal spat,
00:18:56that verbal warfare
00:18:58earlier right before
00:19:00this matchup
00:19:01leading into this match.
00:19:02And certainly as we saw,
00:19:04no words were held back
00:19:05from Danny Sikilski
00:19:06and no words held back
00:19:08from Tyra Mae Steele.
00:19:09These two know
00:19:10what is at stake,
00:19:11their careers on the line
00:19:12and their future
00:19:14in the balance.
00:19:15Here on the semifinals
00:19:16in the playoffs
00:19:18of Legends
00:19:19and Future Greats,
00:19:20here we go.
00:19:21Now you had brought up
00:19:22the very first LFG.
00:19:24We've talked about this
00:19:25a few times.
00:19:26Nice takedown
00:19:27into the cover hook
00:19:27of the leg.
00:19:28Two victories
00:19:29for Steele over Danny,
00:19:31but it's not all about wins
00:19:33here on LFG.
00:19:34Certainly one can argue
00:19:35that Tyra Mae Steele
00:19:36with the most accomplished
00:19:37background on the program,
00:19:38obviously Olympic gold medalist,
00:19:40speaks for itself.
00:19:41Let's not forget though,
00:19:42Danny Sikilski,
00:19:43a champion in her own right,
00:19:44dedicated to her craft,
00:19:45a world champion cheerleader.
00:19:48Obviously different genres,
00:19:50different backgrounds,
00:19:51different styles,
00:19:52bringing something different
00:19:53to the table.
00:19:54Now we're going to see
00:19:55the legends.
00:19:55She doesn't know
00:20:00her own strength.
00:20:00She's so strong.
00:20:01She's so strong.
00:20:02And Danny's so tiny.
00:20:04As you see,
00:20:04Mickey James
00:20:05and The Undertaker
00:20:06have had so much investment
00:20:07into these two individuals.
00:20:09How will it play out
00:20:10and who will ultimately
00:20:11come out on top?
00:20:12we will find out
00:20:13who will go on
00:20:14to the finals
00:20:15of Legends and Future Greats.
00:20:17You saw Steele's
00:20:18amateur Olympic background.
00:20:19Not somebody Danny
00:20:20wants to get down
00:20:21on the mat with
00:20:22in this matchup.
00:20:24And she's obviously
00:20:24been on the wrong end of Steele.
00:20:26Not once,
00:20:26but twice.
00:20:27But when you take a look
00:20:28at the bigger picture,
00:20:30Team Mickey
00:20:30needs a little bit of help.
00:20:32Nice.
00:20:33Nice.
00:20:34They've come a long way, huh?
00:20:35They have come a long way.
00:20:36Yeah.
00:20:39But Steele
00:20:39turning things
00:20:40right back around.
00:20:41Up, over.
00:20:41Pace is starting
00:20:42to quicken.
00:20:43High cross body cover.
00:20:44Hook of the leg
00:20:45in the near fall.
00:20:45One thing that we've got
00:20:46to talk about
00:20:47with Legends
00:20:47and Future Greats,
00:20:48the experience we've seen,
00:20:49the knowledge passed on
00:20:50by the Legends.
00:20:51Nice.
00:20:51Implemented into their matches
00:20:52as we're seeing here.
00:20:53The feedback in real time
00:20:54as it happens.
00:20:56But one thing
00:20:56that this show
00:20:57has done
00:20:57for these 16 individuals
00:20:58that have taken place
00:20:59and been a part of LFG
00:21:01is they are now
00:21:02so much more comfortable
00:21:03in front of a camera.
00:21:05And ask any performer,
00:21:07ask anyone in this industry
00:21:08that is so important.
00:21:10When that red light is on,
00:21:11you need to know to go.
00:21:12Get that leg.
00:21:13Get that leg.
00:21:14There you go.
00:21:17Get up that leg.
00:21:18You said a lot there
00:21:19and a lot of it rings true.
00:21:20And if you're right now
00:21:21sitting in the back
00:21:21and you're the undertaker
00:21:23and you're watching Steele
00:21:24systematically dissect
00:21:26your opponent,
00:21:26the question I have
00:21:27to you though, JB,
00:21:28has Steele lived up
00:21:29to the hype thus far.
00:21:31Well, Steele has been
00:21:32certainly an interesting
00:21:33point of contention
00:21:34for many.
00:21:35Oh!
00:21:36Nice.
00:21:37Nice.
00:21:38I wish she had done it
00:21:39towards hard cam,
00:21:39but not there yet.
00:21:41We're not there yet.
00:21:43She's got good instinct.
00:21:45They both do.
00:21:47Oh, look at Steele.
00:21:49Maybe looking for
00:21:50a stretch muffler,
00:21:52looking for the submission.
00:21:53Wow.
00:21:54Look at the strength
00:21:55alone on this.
00:21:56I don't necessarily know
00:21:57if the body's supposed
00:21:58to contort that way,
00:21:59but a counter.
00:21:59A cover
00:22:00and a kick out.
00:22:02Go back to
00:22:02between these two.
00:22:03Oh, wait a minute.
00:22:04There's the quickness
00:22:05coming into play.
00:22:06Another near fall
00:22:07in this matchup.
00:22:08These two have
00:22:09had a little bit
00:22:10of a war of words
00:22:11between one another.
00:22:15There you go.
00:22:17Nice.
00:22:17No love lost
00:22:18between Danny
00:22:19Sikorsky and Tyra Mae Steele
00:22:20in this matchup.
00:22:22And knowing what's
00:22:22on the line,
00:22:24knowing that one
00:22:24of these two individuals,
00:22:26wow, Tyra Mae Steele.
00:22:27That was innovative.
00:22:29Really taking apart
00:22:30the leg of Danny Sikorsky
00:22:31and knowing that
00:22:32so much is at stake,
00:22:33these two are
00:22:34into the cover,
00:22:36hook of the leg
00:22:37and a kick out.
00:22:37You wonder if the
00:22:38Undertaker has said,
00:22:39you know what,
00:22:39this is someone who wanted
00:22:40to use my signature move.
00:22:42I want you to go out there
00:22:42and punish her.
00:22:44My hip would pop right off.
00:22:48I think Undertaker realized
00:22:50that Danny Sikorsky
00:22:51went about it the right way
00:22:52via Michelle McCool's advice.
00:22:55At the same time,
00:22:56being able to implement
00:22:57that finishing maneuver,
00:22:58the Hell's Gate to success
00:23:00has been the real,
00:23:02I think, success story for that.
00:23:03And Undertaker's
00:23:04appreciative of that.
00:23:05A couple of kicks
00:23:05to the shoulder,
00:23:06able to backsteel off.
00:23:07Wait a minute,
00:23:08inside cradle.
00:23:08and another near fall.
00:23:10Steele just able
00:23:12to kick out
00:23:13and this matchup
00:23:14has been really one-sided.
00:23:15Steele has been focusing
00:23:16on the lower body
00:23:17but now that background
00:23:18coming into play.
00:23:19The former Tennessee
00:23:20Titan cheerleader.
00:23:22The former Big Ten standout
00:23:24at Penn State University.
00:23:26Sporting her
00:23:26Nittany Lion colors tonight.
00:23:28Trying to rally
00:23:29in this matchup.
00:23:31Can Danny get back in this
00:23:33when LFG returns?
00:23:34How much does Cody have left?
00:23:40Triple H and Steele!
00:23:41Certain scene
00:23:42you will never forget.
00:23:45WWE's greatest moments.
00:23:46New episode.
00:23:47Only at the Home Depot.
00:23:50We're back on LFG
00:23:51and Danny is rallying
00:23:53against Steele.
00:23:55Good bump and feed.
00:23:58Oh, good sell, Danny.
00:24:00Futures are at stake
00:24:02and that is what Danny
00:24:02realized in this moment.
00:24:04she is fighting
00:24:05for her future
00:24:05on one leg.
00:24:07Oh, no one there
00:24:08and again, miss for Danny.
00:24:10Back to her feet.
00:24:11In comes Steele
00:24:12and Steele goes down low.
00:24:14Nice.
00:24:15Oh.
00:24:18Steele has been
00:24:18rather left with that leg.
00:24:20She's been told
00:24:21be aggressive.
00:24:22She's been told
00:24:22to go out there
00:24:23and be fired up
00:24:24and she's certainly
00:24:25showcasing that tonight.
00:24:27One more time up.
00:24:29Wait, Danny over.
00:24:30Counter able to roll through.
00:24:31Steele able to answer
00:24:32right back
00:24:32and he ran on top.
00:24:33And wait a minute.
00:24:34Hell's Gate.
00:24:35Oh.
00:24:36The Undertaker's move
00:24:37and The Undertaker's start.
00:24:39Pupil has the tap
00:24:41to the Hell's Gate.
00:24:42Wow.
00:24:43Nice.
00:24:43That was really slick.
00:24:45Look.
00:24:46Look.
00:24:47Danny.
00:24:47They can't believe it.
00:24:49They're like, what?
00:24:50Imagine Danny Sikalski
00:24:51using the Hell's Gate
00:24:53submission maneuver
00:24:54to finish off
00:24:56Tyra Mae Steele,
00:24:58the prize pupil
00:24:59of The Undertaker.
00:25:01What a turn of events.
00:25:02But was it enough
00:25:03to impress the judges?
00:25:06Wow, they had a good match.
00:25:07That was great.
00:25:10Thank you for letting her
00:25:11use that, by the way.
00:25:12That was awesome.
00:25:13I never went into it
00:25:16that smoothly.
00:25:17I don't know about that.
00:25:20Yeah, that was good.
00:25:26Thank you very much.
00:25:28Thank you.
00:25:28I'm really happy
00:25:33with the performance.
00:25:34I think after all
00:25:35of what I've been through
00:25:37and what we've been through
00:25:38together in that ring
00:25:39to put together
00:25:40a third match,
00:25:41I think it shows
00:25:42definitely our growth
00:25:42from week one to now.
00:25:44I definitely was aggressive
00:25:45and everybody was feeling
00:25:47what we were trying
00:25:48to portray.
00:25:50What do you think?
00:25:52Aside from me, like,
00:25:54not putting everything
00:25:55in the right spot,
00:25:56I just go ahead
00:25:57and I still have
00:25:59the aggression
00:25:59that I wanted
00:26:00and the feeling
00:26:01that I wanted.
00:26:02You two are the only people
00:26:03that knew that those spots
00:26:05were in the wrong place.
00:26:06We were just talking
00:26:07about how night and day
00:26:09from when you guys,
00:26:10the first match, right?
00:26:12Yeah.
00:26:12It was so good.
00:26:12I'll kill it in the first match.
00:26:13Y'all come a long,
00:26:14y'all come a long way.
00:26:15It's good.
00:26:17EJ, have a good match.
00:26:19Thank you, Coach.
00:26:20Appreciate you.
00:26:20Go do something.
00:26:21Yes, sir.
00:26:23Hey.
00:26:24Hey.
00:26:24Well, I have been told,
00:26:26and I don't know
00:26:26if this is true or not
00:26:27because it came from B.J. Ray.
00:26:29He said you two
00:26:30have been tearing up
00:26:31the town
00:26:31before LFG.
00:26:34That is incorrect.
00:26:34I should have known
00:26:35better than to believe him,
00:26:35right?
00:26:35You do not believe
00:26:36a word he says.
00:26:37Introducing first,
00:26:38representing Team Goveray
00:26:40from Corona, California,
00:26:41weighing at 240 pounds,
00:26:44B.J. Ray.
00:26:46B.J. Ray.
00:26:53B.J. Ray entering this matchup,
00:26:56making it all the way
00:26:58to the semifinals,
00:26:59but as a big, tough man
00:27:02as his opponent.
00:27:03And his opponent,
00:27:07representing Team Booker T
00:27:09from Huffman, Texas,
00:27:11weighing at 340 pounds,
00:27:13Jasper Troy.
00:27:21He already looks like
00:27:22the baddest mother trucker here,
00:27:23so that's the best entrance
00:27:26I've seen him have.
00:27:27That looks ominous.
00:27:30That looks scary.
00:27:33And he looks like
00:27:34the real frickin' deal.
00:27:35He does.
00:27:37This is somebody
00:27:38who has really
00:27:40taken to the coaching,
00:27:42has taken to the legends,
00:27:44and it's been seen
00:27:45not only on camera,
00:27:47in the ring,
00:27:48but also off camera
00:27:49when no one's watching.
00:27:52The kid don't know
00:27:53when to lay out on anything.
00:27:54No, he doesn't.
00:27:54He don't know
00:27:55when to lay out on anything.
00:27:57Yeah.
00:28:01Obviously saying a lot
00:28:02without saying a word.
00:28:03That's what Jasper Troy
00:28:04does in the ring,
00:28:05and of course,
00:28:06out of the ring as well.
00:28:08Look at Troy,
00:28:08quickly turning things around,
00:28:10monster body slam.
00:28:12And this is somebody,
00:28:13if you go back
00:28:14to week one,
00:28:14if you go back
00:28:15to his arrival,
00:28:16getting the knees up his rate,
00:28:17he has cut 8% body fat,
00:28:20has Troy.
00:28:21Well, certainly what we've seen
00:28:22him do in the gym,
00:28:23impressive.
00:28:24What we've seen him do
00:28:24in the ring,
00:28:25pretty impressive as well.
00:28:27But what we've seen him do
00:28:28behind the microphone,
00:28:30I mean,
00:28:30dismembering CM Punk.
00:28:32How many people
00:28:32can say they did that?
00:28:33That's a very short list
00:28:35as Ray in control
00:28:36now of this match.
00:28:38Take your time here.
00:28:39This is your time.
00:28:40Just take your time.
00:28:41When you left earlier,
00:28:42this is exactly
00:28:43what we went over,
00:28:44taking his time.
00:28:46DJ Ray at a disadvantage,
00:28:47injured on the third
00:28:49episode of LFG.
00:28:50This is a little bit better.
00:28:51He's doing a little slower.
00:28:52Much of the season,
00:28:54he was on the shelf.
00:28:55Obviously getting the
00:28:56opportunity to come back,
00:28:57replacing Cutler
00:28:58in that final opportunity
00:29:00to win back his spot
00:29:02on the team.
00:29:03And what is this?
00:29:03Well, I'm glad you bring
00:29:04that up because we talk
00:29:05about how important
00:29:06this matchup is,
00:29:07how important this night
00:29:08is, where we're at
00:29:09here in LFG.
00:29:10BJ Ray has already been
00:29:12in a high-stakes matchup.
00:29:13He's already felt
00:29:14that sort of pressure.
00:29:16Does that help
00:29:16or hurt him
00:29:17rise to the occasion
00:29:19in this match?
00:29:20Well, he knows
00:29:20he has to rise to the occasion.
00:29:22Whether or not
00:29:22it's helped or hurt,
00:29:23I guess that's up for
00:29:24Coach Bubba Ray
00:29:25to decide.
00:29:25But Jasper Troy,
00:29:27the pride and joy
00:29:28of Booker T
00:29:29and Team Booker
00:29:30in a position now
00:29:32to land some offense
00:29:33on BJ Ray.
00:29:34Come on,
00:29:35put your hands up.
00:29:35Open up.
00:29:36There was supposed
00:29:36to be two of them there.
00:29:37Yeah, he was supposed
00:29:38to be two of them.
00:29:39taking a little
00:29:40too much time
00:29:40with Troy Ray
00:29:41coming right back in.
00:29:43And this is that
00:29:43amateur background,
00:29:44ACC standout,
00:29:46University of Duke.
00:29:48I've tried my best
00:29:49to put him in the best
00:29:50position I've possibly
00:29:50can't here tonight.
00:29:53But he's just rushing
00:29:55every damn thing.
00:29:56Remember I just said that?
00:29:59Like, take your time
00:30:00here, bro.
00:30:01You know what's crazy?
00:30:03We've seen a lot
00:30:04of amateur wrestlers
00:30:06come in.
00:30:06He's not picking it up
00:30:07nearly as quick
00:30:09as all of the others.
00:30:10I thought for a second
00:30:12maybe Ray would lock
00:30:13in some sort of key lock
00:30:14when he was going
00:30:15into submission.
00:30:16He's trying now
00:30:17to apply a submission
00:30:19to the left arm,
00:30:20trying to hyper-extend
00:30:21the left elbow.
00:30:22But Troy doing a good job
00:30:23of keeping his grip,
00:30:24trying to overpower.
00:30:26But he's got to be careful
00:30:27that his shoulders
00:30:27stay off the mat.
00:30:29Let's not forget
00:30:30these eight semi-packs
00:30:32of finalists
00:30:33competing in this
00:30:34edition of LFG
00:30:35will be narrowed down
00:30:36to four at the end
00:30:37of the program.
00:30:38And we are going
00:30:38to find out
00:30:39who heads to the finals
00:30:40of season one LFG.
00:30:43What power!
00:30:44What strength!
00:30:45By Jasper Troy!
00:30:47Unbelievable!
00:30:47The old moves
00:30:48got caught.
00:30:48Good enough
00:30:49for the people
00:30:49to react.
00:30:50Yeah.
00:30:50High enough
00:30:51for the people
00:30:51to react.
00:30:52He asked Booker
00:30:53anything about life,
00:30:54about the gym,
00:30:55about what it takes
00:30:56to be the man,
00:30:58how to stand out.
00:30:59Jasper doing
00:31:00everything right
00:31:01here tonight, man.
00:31:02Jasper's just better.
00:31:03He's just better.
00:31:07Two very different
00:31:08journeys for BJ Ray
00:31:09and Jasper trying
00:31:10to get to this point,
00:31:10the semi-finals
00:31:11of Legends of Future.
00:31:12Very different journeys,
00:31:14but they're both here.
00:31:15That's the bottom line.
00:31:16Both ended up
00:31:17in this spot.
00:31:18Both have that
00:31:18opportunity
00:31:19to take it home
00:31:20and wow!
00:31:21Bossman slam!
00:31:23That was excellent
00:31:24on both parts.
00:31:25Good.
00:31:26Good fire right there.
00:31:27Now,
00:31:28bitch dragged him
00:31:28to the corner.
00:31:29Nice.
00:31:30Keep selling that arm.
00:31:33Bring him in.
00:31:36This is 340 pounds.
00:31:39340 pounds
00:31:40going to the second row.
00:31:41right down.
00:31:47Found his mark
00:31:48into the cover.
00:31:503, 4,
00:31:51and Troy
00:31:52silences Ray.
00:31:55Somebody screaming out there.
00:31:57Got something, man.
00:31:58Really good.
00:31:59Tell you what,
00:32:00I can see him
00:32:00standing face-to-face
00:32:01with just about
00:32:03anybody in NXT
00:32:04right now.
00:32:04He's hungry, too, man.
00:32:07I think that's what it is
00:32:08more than anything.
00:32:09He's hungry.
00:32:10He's hungry.
00:32:11He has the power.
00:32:13He has the size.
00:32:15He has impressed
00:32:16everyone with his ability
00:32:17to take coaching critiques.
00:32:20He's victorious.
00:32:21He's Jasper Troy.
00:32:22But was it enough
00:32:24to impress
00:32:25the decision makers
00:32:26here on LFG?
00:32:31What a night it's been.
00:32:33We're already

00:33:57get behind
00:33:58P. Nasty
00:33:58in a very short time.
00:34:00Come on, girls.
00:34:01Steal the show.
00:34:02Come on.
00:34:03Atta, girls, Zena.
00:34:04Atta, girls, Zena.
00:34:05We talk about
00:34:10halfway through
00:34:10the semifinals
00:34:11here tonight
00:34:12on LFG.
00:34:13You know,
00:34:13JB, remind us
00:34:14at the end
00:34:15of season one,
00:34:16what is the
00:34:17winner game?
00:34:21Well,
00:34:22we're going to see
00:34:22one with an
00:34:23NXT contract,
00:34:24one male,
00:34:25one female,
00:34:26both.
00:34:27Courtesy
00:34:28of the heartbreak
00:34:29kid,
00:34:29Shawn Michaels.
00:34:30And that's
00:34:30so much at stake.
00:34:31That's a life
00:34:32changing opportunity
00:34:34put on their
00:34:34doorstep
00:34:35if they're able
00:34:36to survive
00:34:36this competition.
00:34:37Big body slam
00:34:38by P. Nasty
00:34:39who just hoists
00:34:40Sterling up
00:34:40one more time.
00:34:41Sterling right now
00:34:42trying to navigate
00:34:42her way down.
00:34:43She did.
00:34:44Trying to take down.
00:34:46Couldn't do it.
00:34:47And that's that
00:34:47vertical base
00:34:48of P. Nasty.
00:34:49Well, what we've
00:34:50seen from P. Nasty
00:34:51is the evolution
00:34:52of sorts.
00:34:52We've seen a lot
00:34:53of growth from
00:34:53both of these
00:34:54individuals throughout
00:34:54the journey
00:34:55here on LFG.
00:34:56P. Nasty
00:34:56taking a different
00:34:57route.
00:34:58Obviously, we've
00:34:58seen a more
00:34:59serious route
00:35:00for Zena Sterling.
00:35:03The question is
00:35:04who has grown
00:35:04the most?
00:35:05Who has the most
00:35:05opportunity?
00:35:06Who brings the most
00:35:07to the table?
00:35:11Good job.
00:35:11Good job.
00:35:12She does the
00:35:12homework.
00:35:13Look.
00:35:13She watches
00:35:14wrestling when she
00:35:15goes home.
00:35:16Look at this.
00:35:17Look at this.
00:35:18And they're trying to
00:35:19get a crucifix
00:35:19style pin
00:35:20into the cover to kick
00:35:21out.
00:35:22Booker T taking
00:35:23great exception to
00:35:24the coaching of
00:35:25Bubba Ray.
00:35:26Of course, that's
00:35:26been a pretty much
00:35:28the entire season
00:35:29here on LFG.
00:35:30But today, especially
00:35:31that coaching or
00:35:32whatever that was
00:35:33that Bubba gave to
00:35:34Zena Sterling on that
00:35:35promo battle earlier
00:35:37certainly ignited a
00:35:38fuse in Booker T
00:35:39and Panina.
00:35:41Good action.
00:35:42Now rushing.
00:35:43Taking her time.
00:35:43opinion in control
00:35:46is someone you
00:35:47P-Nasty.
00:35:49They call her P-Nasty
00:35:49for a reason.
00:35:50She carries herself
00:35:51very quietly,
00:35:52very ominous.
00:35:53It's one of those
00:35:53people you just
00:35:54don't want to mess
00:35:54with.
00:35:56Whereas Zena Sterling,
00:35:57kind of the opposite.
00:35:58Bubbly, personal,
00:35:59very friendly.
00:36:01P-Nasty, though,
00:36:02just takes it to a
00:36:03different level.
00:36:04It's all about the
00:36:04growth between both
00:36:06these athletes here
00:36:07on LFG taking the
00:36:09coaching critiques,
00:36:10being able to apply
00:36:11them.
00:36:12Sometimes in real
00:36:13time during
00:36:13training.
00:36:14But what can they
00:36:15do here?
00:36:15And Zena trying to
00:36:16hoist up, couldn't
00:36:18overpower Panina.
00:36:19Good reaction.
00:36:21That was good.
00:36:22That was a struggle
00:36:23there.
00:36:24And it was a near
00:36:24fall.
00:36:26Well, we're about to
00:36:27see what Zena is
00:36:27truly made of in this
00:36:29matchup because that
00:36:30lower back has been
00:36:32the target of P-Nasty
00:36:34since the beginning,
00:36:35since the first body
00:36:37slam that she threw
00:36:38to Zena Sterling.
00:36:40Well, certainly what
00:36:40we've seen from Zena
00:36:41Sterling is an
00:36:42evolution of sorts.
00:36:43we've seen the
00:36:44growth that's
00:36:45happened week after
00:36:46week.
00:36:46And you could say
00:36:47the same for Panina.
00:36:48The question is how
00:36:49far will that growth
00:36:50go and which legend
00:36:52will continue to
00:36:54coach them on their
00:36:54journey?
00:36:55and the other side of the
00:37:05game.
00:37:05And you know, as we've
00:37:07talked about semifinals,
00:37:07there's only one match
00:37:08left here tonight on LFG.
00:37:10Has it gotten any easier
00:37:11to compete in front of
00:37:13these legends?
00:37:14I don't think so.
00:37:15If anything, it's gotten
00:37:16a lot tougher because the
00:37:17honeymoon period is over.
00:37:18Come on, Zena, fire up.
00:37:20Got to bump out of the
00:37:20back, girl.
00:37:21Come on, Panina.
00:37:24And as we've seen that
00:37:26progression, the legends,
00:37:27I think, have just gotten
00:37:28more comfortable but less
00:37:30patient because they want
00:37:31to see the results.
00:37:32They want to see that
00:37:33knowledge implemented.
00:37:36When we talk about firing
00:37:37up, stepping out of your
00:37:39comfort, that is what Zena
00:37:40Sterling was doing for a
00:37:41moment.
00:37:41Nobody home.
00:37:43Get up, girls.
00:37:44Get up, Panina.
00:37:44Got to need that clip.
00:37:45I need it right here.
00:37:46A second time.
00:37:48Was the time.
00:37:49Big body slam.
00:37:51Into the cover.
00:37:53Still not enough.
00:37:55Zena can't believe it.
00:37:56LFG will be right back.
00:37:59From here.
00:38:01Welcome to legends and
00:38:02future greats as Zena
00:38:04Sterling and P-Nasty are in
00:38:06the ring.
00:38:07Get up, girls.
00:38:08Get up, Panina.
00:38:08You got to need that clip.
00:38:09Get up.
00:38:10I need it right here.
00:38:11A second time.
00:38:12Was the time.
00:38:14Big body slam.
00:38:15Into the cover.
00:38:17And a kick out.
00:38:18Getting that right shoulder
00:38:19up.
00:38:21Unbelievable moment in this
00:38:23match up here.
00:38:24Semi-finals of LFG.
00:38:26Who will go on to the
00:38:27finals next week?
00:38:28We're going to find out as
00:38:30eight become four at the
00:38:32end of this broadcast.
00:38:33And our legends have tough
00:38:35decisions to make.
00:38:36Who goes on to win that
00:38:37NXT contract?
00:38:38Right to the throat.
00:38:39And Panina making a
00:38:43statement.
00:38:44One, two, three.
00:38:46Picking up the victory.
00:38:49They did well.
00:38:50They did damn well.
00:38:52Twin Lumpa.
00:38:54Zena answered a lot of
00:38:56questions in this matchup.
00:38:57But Pete Asti in the end
00:38:59is the one with her hand
00:39:00raised.
00:39:01You can see her saying,
00:39:01this is my ring.
00:39:03They did damn well.
00:39:04Mm-hmm.
00:39:05Huge decision still to come.
00:39:07Who punches their ticket to the
00:39:09finals on LFG.
00:39:13That's right.
00:39:14That's what I'm talking about.
00:39:16Give me some.
00:39:18Damn good s***.
00:39:20That was you.
00:39:21Damn good job.
00:39:22Thank you.
00:39:23Money.
00:39:24Excellent, Zena.
00:39:25Excellent.
00:39:26Thank you so much.
00:39:28Excellent.
00:39:29Good again, man.
00:39:31Awesome.
00:39:31Thank you.
00:39:32Oh, my s***.
00:39:33Thank you.
00:39:34Today has been crazy.
00:39:35Yeah.
00:39:35and I don't think I would
00:39:37have gotten through
00:39:37without Zena.
00:39:39Zena Sterling works for
00:39:40whoever she's in the ring
00:39:41with and I will say that
00:39:43to the camera and say it
00:39:43on national television.
00:39:45I would not have made it
00:39:46through that match
00:39:46without Zena Sterling.
00:39:48Thank you.
00:39:50Now we can breathe.
00:39:55Semifinals continuing
00:39:56here on Legends
00:39:58and Future Greats.
00:40:02The following contest
00:40:03is scheduled for one fall.
00:40:05introducing first
00:40:06representing Team Undertaker
00:40:09from Northfield, New Hampshire
00:40:10weighing in at 252 pounds.
00:40:13Shiloh Hill.
00:40:17Well, what a joy.
00:40:18It's been to see this progression,
00:40:19this growth that we've seen
00:40:20each and every week
00:40:21from Shiloh Hill.
00:40:22How are you not tired
00:40:23just watching him run around?
00:40:24I'm out here catching wind right now.
00:40:27Well, this guy's an incredible athlete
00:40:28and really an interesting individual
00:40:30as we've seen.
00:40:31coached by the Undertaker
00:40:35and evolution of sorts
00:40:36right before our very own eyes
00:40:38with Shiloh Hill.
00:40:39This is not a game.
00:40:41There's nothing to it but to do it.
00:40:42You feel me?
00:40:43The ongoing feud, it continues.
00:40:45Yeah.
00:40:46Throughout the whole season.
00:40:48I pushed that weight to get that dough,
00:40:50but I don't break because I've been
00:40:51And his opponent
00:40:52representing Team Mickey James
00:40:54from Vacaville, California
00:40:56weighing in at 240 pounds.
00:40:59It's Chris
00:41:00Kylan!
00:41:02And these two were airing
00:41:04some dirty laundry
00:41:05earlier tonight, JB.
00:41:07You look at Hill.
00:41:08Hill right now is ready to pounce.
00:41:10It got filthy.
00:41:12He got a little excited there.
00:41:13Bad blood, the war of words
00:41:15between Shiloh Hill
00:41:17and Chris Island
00:41:18earlier today
00:41:19prior to this matchup
00:41:21makes you wonder
00:41:22how much bad blood
00:41:23we're going to see unfold
00:41:24before our very own eyes here
00:41:26and obviously
00:41:27bringing this up
00:41:28it was brought up a little bit
00:41:30it was touched on a little bit
00:41:31but let's not forget
00:41:32early in the season
00:41:33a matchup between Chris Island
00:41:35a matchup between Shiloh Hill
00:41:37Shiloh Hill knocked out cold
00:41:39and that has to play on his mind
00:41:42in the back of his mind somewhere
00:41:43that moment still has to resonate
00:41:45with Shiloh Hill.
00:41:46It's interesting to think about
00:41:47that moment
00:41:48a scary one here
00:41:49on LFG
00:41:50don't get me wrong
00:41:51but he's been able to battle
00:41:52through all those odds
00:41:53all that adversity
00:41:54and find himself here
00:41:56in this moment
00:41:57one match away
00:41:59from the finals
00:42:01and one match away
00:42:02from an NXT contract
00:42:03a life-changing contract
00:42:05that'll put you right
00:42:06in the midst of the thick of things

00:44:44is applying the pressure
00:44:45keeping his foot
00:44:46on the gas
00:44:47and you just start
00:44:48to wonder
00:44:48is he remembering
00:44:50what Chris Island
00:44:50said earlier today
00:44:52nice
00:44:53nice
00:44:53that was pretty
00:44:55good call on that
00:44:56there you go
00:44:57there you go
00:44:58good show
00:44:59oh she likes
00:45:00the Robichard
00:45:01and Hill
00:45:05with that smile
00:45:08across his face
00:45:09confidence oozing
00:45:11but is it taking
00:45:11too much time
00:45:12I'm assuming
00:45:13The Undertaker
00:45:13is not going to like this
00:45:14well certainly
00:45:15real time feedback
00:45:16from The Undertaker
00:45:16very interesting
00:45:19took too much time
00:45:20shoulder right
00:45:21into that middle
00:45:22turnbuckle
00:45:22and he got to
00:45:23wonder now
00:45:23the pain
00:45:24shooting through
00:45:24Hill's body
00:45:25you got to wonder
00:45:25what The Undertaker
00:45:26is thinking
00:45:27after seeing that
00:45:27because Chris Island
00:45:28right now
00:45:29from behind
00:45:30shoulders are down
00:45:31in a near fall
00:45:32this is the moment
00:45:33for Island
00:45:34to get back
00:45:34in this matchup
00:45:35showcase that
00:45:36amateur ability

00:46:10again
00:46:11it's not about wins
00:46:11it's not about losses
00:46:12it's about connecting
00:46:14with that audience
00:46:14oh come on
00:46:17Chris Island
00:46:19is doing that
00:46:19right now
00:46:20take the words
00:46:21right out of my mouth
00:46:22another big
00:46:22body slam

00:46:32to block that
00:46:33Shiloh was able
00:46:34to block that

00:46:50I think anybody

00:46:51Chris Island
00:46:52seems to have
00:46:52his act together
00:46:54but I would say
00:46:55has a short fuse

00:57:13ways and directions
00:57:15and thoughts
00:57:15kind of like
00:57:16a commentary team
00:57:17trying to steer the fight
00:57:18in Jasper's direction
00:57:19when in all reality
00:57:20he didn't recognize
00:57:21any of my attributes
00:57:22because he's blinded
00:57:23by his personal bias
00:57:25when you get out
00:57:26of your own way
00:57:26you can have
00:57:27a very very bright future
00:57:29in this business
00:57:29but you should use this
00:57:31as motivation
00:57:32BJ you're going home

00:57:36really care
00:57:37what any of them

00:57:41they all know
00:57:42who the star
00:57:42of the show was
00:57:43and who puts
00:57:43the ass in seats
00:57:44throughout the season
00:57:46you've probably been
00:57:46the most talked about
00:57:47but you've still
00:57:48got a lot to learn
00:57:49Jasper is the most
00:57:50ready to go
