00:56...and the first points of the season were awarded.
01:00Harlem, Lewis, standout mail.
01:02Danny Sikalski, unanimous vote.
01:05Today, Shawn Michaels meets with the legends and their new teams for the first time.
01:11Hello, everyone.
01:13Look, I was thinking to myself, I knew the draft was going to kind of shake things up.
01:19But I have to be honest, even I was pretty surprised by everything that went on.
01:26No shirt, huh?
01:28For the rest of the season, you will not see Elijah wear a shirt.
01:33Step forward, hit a double buy, and show them why you're winning this whole freaking thing.
01:39Oh, yeah.
01:40I gotta admit, if I looked like that, I wouldn't wear a shirt either.
01:43But it's a new look, all right?
01:45Which is fantastic because that's what we're going to talk about, all right?
01:51We're going to get each of you out there.
01:53You're going to be competing once again.
01:56But this time, we want to see something different from each and every one of you.
02:03Now, there's an old saying in this business, which is,
02:07New s*** better than old s***, all right?
02:10Evolving as a character is a must to survive in this line of work.
02:16So we don't want to see you going back to old faithfuls in these matches tonight.
02:23We want to see something new.
02:25Something that's going to set you apart from the rest of the crowd and even from who you were last season.
02:32Good luck.
02:32Welcome to the ultimate proving ground.
02:47Sixteen future greats.
02:53Four legends.
02:55He is the epitome of WrestleMania.
02:58Aim high, you better aim hard because I'm going to do whatever it takes.
03:01Even at the table.
03:04Can you dig that, s*** guy?
03:07A chance to win an NXT contract.
03:12Every legend has a first chapter.
03:15The future starts now.
03:17The future greats.
03:18The future greats are meeting with their coaches.
03:28The legends must decide not just who will face off in today's matches, but what new elements and attitudes they want to see from each competitor.
03:38I want to see Serena go out and turn it up a little bit.
03:41We've been a babyface.
03:42We need to do something different.
03:44We need to shake it up.
03:44I think we need to come out of the heel.
03:46Very aggressive heel.
03:48I think we can break that beast out of here.
03:50All right?
03:51Let's do it.
03:51Let's do it.
03:52As far as you're concerned, Zena, do you remember that power slam move that we were talking about that you'd been working on?
03:59Yes, I do.
03:59You want to try that today?
04:00Yes, definitely.
04:01All right, cool.
04:02Booker thinks that there's a side of me that is definitely heelish, that he wants me to dig deep and pull out.
04:09So now to bring out more of my bitchiness, more of my personality, that's everything I'm going to show him more.
04:16Bulldog.
04:18Down.
04:19Take a minute.
04:21Now, just curious.
04:23If I see you give her a Bronco Buster and then hit the ropes and give her a bulldog, why do I hate you?
04:29The objective for Serena was to be a heel.
04:36What emotion are you going for?
04:39For them to not like me.
04:40Right.
04:40To be a heel.
04:41That's likable.
04:43Remember, your job is to be hated.
04:46Your job is to be loved.
04:49Cool moves don't make me hate you.
04:52The intent of being a jerk makes me hate you.
04:56The best heels in the world do this.
04:59And then they look mean and talk.
05:04I simplified for the ladies so they can go in there and do what they do well.
05:10Well.
05:11If you're telling me, Bubba, I'm going to set the tone in what I do earlier, that by the time I get to the Bronco Buster and the Bulldog, they're not going to light me.
05:20It'll work.
05:21All right.
05:22I'm with you.
05:24One thing about Bubba, he knows his stuff.
05:26And working with Serena, I totally trust Bubba in that situation and I think he's going to do a good job.
05:33Why didn't you do the Spinneroonie when you were a heel?
05:34Because I can't play to the crowd.
05:36I got to make sure the crowd.
05:36What does the Spinneroonie make them do?
05:38It makes me feel good.
05:39I can't make the crowd feel good.
05:40And I brought him over here just so you would understand a little bit better.
05:45Okay?
05:46Thank you.
05:46He gave me a lot of advice, but more than anything, Bubba just pissed me off.
05:51So in some ways, that helped me just dig deeper and to find that anger inside of me.
05:59Backstage, I was aggravated, to say the least.
06:03I need you to get your in.
06:05You know, you don't want to tie up with someone like Padina right off the bat, so you might want to work with her a little bit.
06:10But when you do this, now I'm ready to f***ing tie up.
06:13All right, bang, we tie up.
06:16This was an opportunity to show the coaches that the person that I was before is no longer here.
06:23You can be in this business for two seconds and they can drop you if they don't see the potential.
06:28But I know that I have that potential to be here for a long time.
06:33With Tantyana, more than anything is finding a balance, finding something that she knows.
06:38She can do ten times out of ten times.
06:40Get yourself back together now.
06:44Tantyana's never been a babyface, so that was a little different to her.
06:48Panina's aggression, we were wanting to step up, and she had a few new moves in there.
06:52This girl, like, this is ridiculous.
06:53I'm about to take her head off. She's wasting my time.
06:56My opponent for tonight's match is Tantyana.
06:59To be honest, she didn't come with no new ideas.
07:01Booker says, her own coach said, preparation is the only look we have.
07:05You want to support me?
07:06Here's the thing with Anthony.
07:09All the coaches compared him to The Rock last year.
07:12But he was trying to get away from that a little bit.
07:15Obviously, one of my biggest inspirations growing up, he wore the gloves.
07:19I played football growing up my entire life.
07:21The last thing before I stepped on that football field, I put on my gloves.
07:25Got it.
07:26Something new I want to bring to this and something that's going to bring that showtime element into this game
07:30is I'm going to put some gloves on because now I know it's time to whoop some ass.
07:34I've completely got rid of the vest in my entrance, so I'm coming out just singlet, no vest.
07:40I feel like the vest was very distracting.
07:43What about you, Elijah? What do you want to do different tonight?
07:45Coming out in new gear, changing up the pants from last time.
07:49Going to work on that a little bit.
07:50And working on this smooth flying shoulder tap out of the corner kind of looks, will be similar to a spear.
07:56Kind of going to stalk him from the corner and come out and hit him hard.
07:59It was very exciting for me because I get a chance to go out there and show the legends what I've been working on.
08:03Show them that I've made strides and I'm continuing to get better every single day.
08:06Well, for starters, I got the tooth in.
08:08I said, look, look, look.
08:09I didn't even realize it.
08:10You did?
08:11Why did you put a tooth back in?
08:12They needed to put one in so my gum could go back.
08:15You guys know the deal, right?
08:16Cool.
08:17I went out there with that mindset to go out there and kind of show you did pick the winner, Bubba,
08:22but to also show Undertaker that you had the chance to pick the winner as well, and you did.
08:27There's some good s***.
08:28There's some good s*** here.
08:29All right?
08:30There's some really good s***.
08:32I'm back with baby season two.
08:34I was about to be crazy, dude.
08:35I think season one I was a little too soft on him.
08:37With their objectives in mind, the future greats are now ready to take the stake.
08:45JB, get ready.
08:46It's time for the women to take center stage here on LFG.
08:50The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
08:54Interest-using first representing Team Booker T.
09:00From Phoenix, Arizona, Serena Lansing.
09:05It's something new in season two, and Serena Lansing looks to be coming out with a whole new attitude.
09:13I can say that again, and we don't just mean the fiery red in which she wears.
09:17She has been challenged by her new coach, her new legend, the two-time Hall of Famer, Booker T.
09:24We'll see exactly how well she does here tonight on LFG.
09:28Oh, yeah.
09:34Oh, yeah.
09:36All hail.
09:39The mighty.
09:40Oh, yeah.
09:40You don't see Bubba's smile this much.
09:56Don't go anywhere as LFG rolls on.
10:03The finale of season one.
10:04Who could forget that incredible performance by Zena Sterling was enough to get the win for the season,
10:09but certainly won the respect of the legends and her fellow stars here on LFG.
10:15Looking for that opportunity to do it again.
10:18Serena bringing a new attitude.
10:20Look at this.
10:21Oh, all right.
10:25Okay.
10:26Okay.
10:30Good lockup.
10:31That's the best lockup I've seen.
10:34Well, again, let's talk about Linton here because she's playing a new role, so to speak, for a lack of a better phrase here.
10:40It's something Booker wants to see, an aggressive, smart style from her.
10:44How is she going to be able to adapt to that?
10:46Well, it's going to be interesting to see how this plays out because Serena Linton won the hearts of everyone.
10:51That first couple of episodes of LFG when we started out, her origin story, incredible, and now finds herself in a very different position.
10:59And it's almost a position of confidence.
11:01It's confidence she's gained over the course of that incredible instruction.
11:04Word, take a look at that.
11:06Zena Sterling showing, she's not just talking about it.
11:09She's been getting into the room, getting into film study, getting into extra gym sessions.
11:15That's something new out of the repertoire.
11:17Now, JB, do you think she's extra motivated then to get back to the finals?
11:20And also, she feels she would have won if not for the knee injury.
11:26Right in front of the rep.
11:29You've got to break that, right?
11:30Shoulders down and, ooh, did not relinquish the hold.
11:36And, well, we'll talk about that after the fact.
11:38But for Zena, you know, she wants to get back to the finals.
11:40She certainly does.
11:41She had that taste.
11:42She was so close.
11:44It was in her grasp.
11:46And then a very relentless Tyra Maysteel went right for the knee in that finals.
11:49And that was enough.
11:50It was over.
11:51And now Zena Sterling with a renewed energy, a renewed focus.
11:55And really, I think, a healthy outlook for season two.
11:58Trying to get that NXT contract.
12:01Trying to clock, punch, kick, stretch.
12:03Scratch her way to the top.
12:04What's going on here?
12:05Look out, Zena.
12:06Whoa!
12:08Well, obviously, we talked about being a student of the game.
12:11She's pulling out some European-style wrestling right here.
12:15And I don't ever recall Bubba doing something like that in the ring.
12:18But, hey, I could be wrong.
12:19Zena Sterling is studying tapes.
12:21And the name she's dropping my way about people she's influenced by, the European style, the Dave Taylors, the Finleys, the Lord Stephen Riegel's, part of her influence.
12:32And we're going to see some of that, I think, unfold and see that play out.
12:35We're going to talk about something new here this season.
12:38And there you go, Linton right now, right on top.
12:40And here's the thing that I always found interesting.
12:42You can say you're going to have a new attitude.
12:45It's a completely different thing to actually showcase it.
12:48Oh!
12:48That is what Linton is doing right here and right now.
12:56Oh, yeah, we wouldn't have seen that last season from Serena Linton.
12:58That is obviously the influence of Booker T getting in her ear, focused, aggressiveness.
13:04He wants to see it all in season two from Serena Linton.
13:09Yeah.
13:09Serena look a lot more comfortable this season.
13:11Oh, gosh.
13:12It's not close.
13:13Feeling comfortable in her own skin, maybe.
13:19You know, that's the whole thing is you have to get comfortable being uncomfortable.
13:25Oh!
13:26Oh!
13:26I'll take it.
13:27That's it!
13:29Almost got it.
13:30Almost got it with the old splitterooty.
13:32Almost got it with the old splitterooty.
13:34Splitterooty.
13:34I love seeing that when it clicks with Booker, when he sees success, when he sees his knowledge
13:39implemented in the ring by these future greats, that he is showing the path to a better place.
13:44Show me the hair.
13:46Choker with the hair.
13:49And the other thing to, you know, have to remember is you gotta think that some of these
13:53women that are in the locker room have to look to somebody like Roxanne Perez, the prodigy
13:57making a name for herself in the WWE.
14:00Came also under the tutelage of Booker T.
14:02Well, certainly he is no stranger to making stars as his Booker T.
14:06But let's not forget, rolling through, shifting weight, and oh, near fall.
14:12It was a very close finish in season one.
14:14But let's not forget, Undertaker did walk away as LFG champion.
14:18They created good separation after the double quiz, Liz.
14:22As a reminder, it's not always about wins and losses here on LFG.
14:28Who will impress the coaches?
14:30Who will earn that point?
14:32It's about making that impression, right?
14:34It's about connecting with the audience, and Xena Sterling has done that and continues
14:38to do that.
14:40Xena, who is so close to the contract in season one.
14:44Can she kick open that door, march through it, and get the contract finally handed to
14:49her by the heartbreak kid, Shawn Michaels.
14:51It's still early going here.
14:53But wow, what a power slam, and whoa, modified of sorts.
14:58I like that.
14:59I don't know that I've ever seen that.
15:00I don't think so either.
15:02Well, you know when you're doing something the Undertaker's never seen before, you're breaking
15:05new ground for sure.
15:06Oh my.
15:08You just see the strength of Xena?
15:10I feel bad for Serena.
15:12A great athlete and a power lifter, Xena Sterling.
15:15Nice counter and a little bit of a hesitation.
15:18Shoulders down, and whoa!
15:20Here is your winner, Serena Linton!
15:27Serena steals it!
15:32I can't believe how Bartley comes.
15:43High praise there, JB.
15:50I just have a lot of fire in me, and I'm not here to be friends with anybody anymore.
15:55I mean, of course, this is a competition at the end of the day, and season one was a
15:58great opportunity, but season two is about winning, baby, so that's what I'm here to do.
16:03Action continuing right here on LFG.
16:06The following contest is scheduled, 4-1-4.
16:12Introducing first, representing Team Booker T, from Sydney, Australia, Tatiana Tumar.
16:25Wow, look at her in this gear.
16:36Oh, that was something new.
16:38It's all about something new.
16:39It's season two.
16:41Tatiana Tumar from Team Booker T.
16:44Not often you and I don't really have much to say here, JB, on LFG.
16:49I kind of got scared.
16:53Hey!
16:53Well, if you weren't scared before, JB, you may be a little bit shaky now.
17:19I'll tell you what, I would not want to upset either one of these two competitors.
17:25Penina Tualapa, P-Nasty, and Tatiana about to lock horns to battle here, and something
17:31new in season two.
17:32What are we going to see from these two?
17:34Oh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, good boy.
17:41Gidder, P-Nasty.
17:45Penina was the first female chosen.
17:48Tatiana, I believe, was the last.
17:50I'm sure there's going to be a chip on Tatiana's shoulder here today.
17:53She knows there's something to prove, and I'll also say this much, she never lacked confidence in the ring, no question about it, but in there with Panina, wow, you're going to find out real fast.
18:02You're going to learn today, JB.
18:05Come settle your issue.
18:07And that is certainly what P. Nasty brings to the table.
18:10The first round pick of Michelle McCool.
18:13She could have picked anybody on the female side of things, and Panina tore up her first choice.
18:19I can't say I blame her.
18:20Let's also get this out of the way.
18:22These two are not friendly with each other.
18:24They do not get along.
18:25They're putting their differences aside, though, to try and show what they can do in the ring.
18:30And look, JB, you've been around the industry a lot longer than me.
18:33That's something that doesn't get talked a lot about on outside circles is the angst between two individuals, but they still got to go get a job done.
18:42Well, I think a great example of that is Shawn Michaels and The Undertaker.
18:45They did not get along for a while coming up.
18:48But look, they end up having perhaps arguably the greatest WrestleMania match of all time.
18:52Sure.
18:53Maybe two of them.
18:53Sure.
18:54And, you know, quite the matches even outside of WrestleMania.
18:58I wonder if that is going through the coaches' minds, the legends' minds as well, watching these two right now inside the squared circle.
19:05It's a job to do.
19:06You've got to get business done in the ring.
19:07Shoulders down.
19:08P. Nasty able to roll through, roll out.
19:10And this matchup continuing right now.
19:15What you got?
19:16This Tatiana's look like she's been doing this.
19:19I swear.
19:21She's looking great, man.
19:23We can just stay on track.
19:24Huh?
19:25We can stay on track here.
19:27Take your time.
19:27Beautiful work right there.
19:29Great time.
19:31That's a lot of high praise coming from Booker T.
19:33Ay-yi-yi-yi-yi.
19:34Get your feet.
19:39Get your feet back.
19:40Get your base.
19:41Yeah, she's sitting on it.
19:43I have at least seen great growth from Tatiana.
19:46She seems a little bit more confident with her ability inside the ring.
19:49Well, she certainly does.
19:50That's something Panina has excelled in as well as that confidence.
19:53Now, over the course of time, we've seen that develop right before our very own eyes here on LNG.
19:57Whoa.
19:58What a transition.
20:00Showcases strength and a big Samoan drop.
20:02Will this be enough for Panina?
20:04And another kick out this time.
20:06Tatiana.
20:08She doesn't look 100%, though.
20:09It's almost like she wiggled her way free out of necessity.
20:12Let's see if she's able to get back into this matchup.
20:14Well, P. Nasty teased a brand-new signature finishing maneuver if she can hit her.
20:19I'm curious to see what she's talking about here.
20:21I'm sure we're going to know what it is when we see it.
20:25As P. Nasty has taken this matchup over.
20:29Take your time, P. Nasty.
20:30Take your time.
20:31Take your time right here.
20:34Back into what the legends are thinking about in this moment, in this match.
20:40Again, not about wins and losses.
20:42Maybe one of these two athletes will earn themselves a point, not only for themselves, but for their team.
20:47Because P. Nasty is somebody who goes back to last year and also saw the finish line.
20:51Just couldn't quite get there.
20:54Oh, lay it in.
20:55Schmoke.
20:55Lay it in.
20:56Schmoke.
20:57Schmoke.
20:57I can hear all the coaches, especially since I'm looking at the Undertaker.
21:02Whoa!
21:03Wow!
21:03You're talking about laying it in.
21:05Big, massive spear for Panina.
21:08Here is your winner, Panina Plata!
21:15That's the best Tatiana look that she's been doing there.
21:22Panina too.
21:23They felt so comfy with each other.
21:25This is going to be a hell of a year.
21:28Yell a hell of a season.
21:30Hard to argue.
21:32You can say that again.
21:34But was that what you were alluding to?
21:36That massive spear from P. Nasty?
21:38Well, she hit it and she hit it good.
21:39Obviously victorious in this matchup.
21:42Will she be victorious when it comes down to awarding the points?
21:45We are going to find out.
21:47They did a good job.
21:49No, they did a good job.
21:50That's the one thing.
21:51Like I said.
21:54I picked up right where I left off on season one.
21:57I told you guys I'm coming with the craziest chip on my damn shoulder.
22:00We all know the dominating factor is me.
22:02She didn't have a match with me in first season.
22:04They said she was ass in first season.
22:06I bring her ass here.
22:07She riding with the high roller.
22:08She got to play like a high roller.
22:10That's exactly what it was.
22:12I'm going to say she knows how to talk.
22:14So communicate during matches.
22:16And, you know, she really lays her s*** in.
22:18That's what most girls are scared of doing here.
22:20And that's how it should be.
22:21It should be a real fight.
22:22It should be two girls going at one another fighting for an opportunity.
22:27That's what that is here.
22:31Two down, two to go.
22:33And as the crowd continues filing in, it was time for more action here on LFG.
22:41My opponent tonight is Anthony Luke.
22:43He's definitely a real threat in this competition.
22:44He's definitely somebody who needs to be taken serious.
22:47But he's somebody who talks a little too much sometimes and also needs to get put down.
22:51So hopefully I can put down that dog today.
22:56Ain't nobody like me.
22:57I really do this s***.
22:58It's showtime.
22:59Oh, look at that, look at that, look at that, look at those gloves.
23:07Something new in the hands of Anthony Luke.
23:11He said when he put those gloves on, he feels like showtime.
23:14The test is scheduled for one fall.
23:17Introducing first, Anthony Luke.
23:23That's not what's new, right?
23:24That's something new.
23:25I mean, what's crazy about it?
23:26I mean, that's something new.
23:27I mean, this guy was my pupil last season, and he's still trying to be like me.
23:35Come on now, come on now.
23:35Now, I'm going to tell you something.
23:37The gloves, that's not going to work.
23:39That's not going to work for him.
23:41What?
23:41What do you mean it's not going to work for him?
23:43You haven't even seen it yet.
23:45Just as a little flair.
23:46As a little flair.
23:47Nothing in the world feels like this moment right here.
23:54Let's get it.
24:01And here's the bullet.
24:03Chris.
24:06Something about this dude last season that drew me to him.
24:09He's got something.
24:10What's happening?
24:12Something I got to change, but I'll see right now.
24:14I really think, I think this kid is relying on that damn secret.
24:21You don't want to miss this LFG action coming up next.
24:27Welcome back to LFG.
24:28Two clear standouts looking to one-up each other here.
24:31See, look at his body language right now.
24:33I don't ever want to see that ever again.
24:35That's something that I got to change.
24:37Well, I think Booker's also a little fired up and ornery tonight here, JB,
24:41because of, and I take back what I said, I will never argue against Michelle McCool.
24:45But when it comes to Booker, I mean, that was Booker's prized pupil, so to speak.
24:51Well, that was all last season.
24:53Oh, and a little dance.
24:54You like that?
24:55A little showtime shuffle?
24:57One thing about Anthony, Anthony's got a lot of talent.
25:02He does.
25:03He does.
25:03He's got to be able to figure this thing out and understand how to make himself look good at all times.
25:09See that little lazy, that little lazy damn fool.
25:12And it's all about seeing something new in season two, and something new for Booker T.
25:20Is Chris Island on his team?
25:22Something new for season two is Anthony Luke being coached by the legend Michelle McCool.
25:28Well, let's also not forget the gloves he's wearing as well, but Anthony Luke in control right now.
25:34First male that was picked in the draft, but he also knows.
25:37Whoa, whoa, cover to kick out.
25:38Early exit last year.
25:40That can't happen again.
25:42And shoulders out one more time this time.
25:43It's Chris Island on top.
25:45Well, everyone picked Anthony Luke to be a finalist, but guilty of that.
25:48But the way it all went down, he was out early last season.
25:52I caught admiring his work right there.
25:54Rush that shot.
25:55Don't rush that.
25:55He's already caught up in the ropes.
25:58It's a new season and a new attitude for Chris Island.
26:02Anthony, you've got to lay it in for me, son.
26:04Come on, I need more body language.
26:05I need body into it, yep.
26:06He's not giving me enough body language.
26:08He's just doing it.
26:09Come on, Anthony.
26:09When it comes to Anthony Luke also, he seems to be in control of this match in more than
26:15one way.
26:15Well, Anthony Luke sees himself as a...
26:17Shoulders down, kick out.
26:18A bit of a ring general given the fact that he is so early in the stages of his career.
26:23Both men are.
26:25But as far as experience go, you have to give the nod to Anthony Luke in this one.
26:28Now with Chris Island that's coming into season two with a new fire and a new energy and
26:34a new coach.
26:35He's looking to unleash a new side of himself as well.
26:37He's also, that being Island, trying to get back to a vertical base.
26:40But nice job, Anthony Luke.
26:42I think we're getting close to seeing what I'm looking for.
26:44I think that was it right there.
26:45Beautiful.
26:46Not bad.
26:47Not bad.
26:47And look at Anthony Luke taking over and bam, big power slam, center of the ring.
26:53Cover.
26:53Hook of the leg.
26:55And whoosh.
26:56Near fly.
26:56I don't think he hooks a leg in season one, by the way.
26:58Well, it's something new in season two.
27:00And Anthony Luke taking it to Chris Island here.
27:03Michelle McCool is eyeing her number one draft pick.
27:06As she enters this season with so much to prove for herself.
27:10Kind of a new side for Michelle McCool.
27:13New aspect of her career.
27:14A Hall of Fame career.
27:16Now, could she be a legend that takes the championship away from her husband?
27:21Okay, I can take that.
27:22I can take that as the baby face going to the bottom rope for that one reason right there.
27:29Well, you know, Booker, he would love to have that championship.
27:32I don't like to bring up old things, but he thinks he was robbed from season one.
27:36And that championship should be his.
27:38And showed up in season two thinking everybody was against him.
27:41Who are those gloves?
27:42It's Sean.
27:43I don't necessarily about the Sean.
27:44I'm not a fashionista myself.
27:46But when it comes to Chris Island, he said Anthony Luke is a threat to win the whole thing.
27:50But he talks too much.
27:51And tonight, he's looking to shut him up.
27:54And oh, that's certainly one way to do it.
27:58I'll say this much.
27:58Chris Island showing some new confidence in the ring.
28:02He said there is nothing like the feeling here in front of the WWE Universe
28:07as he tries to get some feeling back into that knee.
28:09Big monkey flip out of the corner.
28:12Starting to feel it here, JB.
28:14Certainly, I will show us some...
28:15Oh, oh, oh, oh.
28:16That's a blast.
28:17Ooh.
28:18What are we talking about?
28:19That bullseye on the knee.
28:21On the left knee specifically.
28:23And then just like that, lights, camera, action for Showtime.
28:28Yeah.
28:28Here is your winner, Anthony Luke.
28:36Not bad, not bad.
28:37I like it.
28:39I wonder if that stings just a little bit for Booker T to see Showtime victorious.
28:44Is it enough to get the point?
28:45Let's take a look at what happened earlier.
28:47Anthony Luke and Chris Island.
28:49Something new in Season 2.
28:51Chris Island showed some new offense, but some new aggression from Anthony Luke.
28:54You can say that again.
28:55Focused on the lower body for the entire matchup.
28:59Came back in the end to prove Showtime is just that.
29:03Maybe here.
29:04Good finishing.
29:05I like that.
29:06Unbelievable.
29:07In Season 2 on LFG.
29:10Like I said, ain't nothing in the world as good as that feeling right there.
29:25He happy he just lost.
29:27That's how you know.
29:28That's how you know I led him through a great match.
29:31He happy he lost.
29:32Makes sense.
29:33I don't know about that.
29:34With adrenaline running high, it's now time for our main event of the evening.
29:40Shiloh Hill against Elijah Holyfield.
29:43There's nothing like being in the arena.
29:47I got a spot.
29:47You got a spot?
29:48Just me and you.
29:50I got a spot.
29:52You want to?
29:53You'll get a better feel with Shiloh.
29:55I'll get a better feel for Elijah.
29:58All right.
29:58Let's go.
29:59Come on.
30:02I think he's ribbing me.
30:04You want to go first?
30:05No, I do not want to go first.
30:07Down.
30:08Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the stars of LFG.
30:16WWE Hall of Famer, Bubba Ray Dudley.
30:26And The Undertaker.
30:34Well, welcome in ringside, big dreads alongside Jeremy Borash.
30:43Jeremy, we got a pair of Hall of Famers to our left, and it's another week of LFG.
30:48Greatness all around, right, huh?
30:50Bubba Ray, Undertaker, taking a bird's eye view of the action here for LFG as we are underway
30:55with season two, and underway with our main event tonight.
30:59How about to head to the ring?
31:04The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
31:08This is your guy.
31:09This is my guy.
31:10From Northfield, New Hampshire.
31:13Wagon.
31:14Back to the 152 pass.
31:18Shiloh.
31:19Did you ever get a chance to speak to Sean and ask him why he chose Jasper instead of Shiloh?
31:27I don't know that, I think there's so many layers for Shiloh that you've got to make sure that
31:39whatever you present him with, I think, I mean, it's got to be, there's got to be a story
31:44just due to the depth of all the things that he can do.
31:48And his opponent, Roman Lennon-Charger, weighing in at 234 pounds, Elijah Pooley Field.
32:03And Elijah, that hurt me when you chose him.
32:06I just want to let you know that.
32:08But I understand why.
32:11This kid right here is going to be, he's going to be special.
32:14There was something about him, and in the middle of last season, is when I was like,
32:19wow, I see it.
32:21And I think he did you the absolute best that you could have done with him in his first year.
32:25I think this year, he's going to shine even better.
32:27Yeah, I agree.
32:28I agree.
32:32I don't want to make this seem negative here, but do you think coming up a little bit short
32:37in season one has helped fuel the fire a little bit more, has become more fuel for him
32:43to succeed here in season two?
32:44Well, let me ask you this, Mick.
32:46Does he look like he's in the best shape of his life?
32:48Yes, I would agree.
32:49Let me ask you this, Mick.
32:50Is there a tooth now where a tooth was missing before?
32:53I haven't seen him smile, but I'll assume yes.
32:55There is.
32:56And Shiloh Hill has, I guess, he could say he's upgraded.
33:00Cover.
33:00And a kick out.
33:01I think with Elijah, it's...
33:03Everything he does is explosive.
33:05Elijah, everything is just...
33:07Keep it simple and explosive.
33:08Yes.
33:09Of course, the Undertaker, along with Bubble Ray, a pair of Hall of Famers, have a very
33:16close view, a very keen eye on this matchup, our main event here on LFG.
33:22And look, when it comes to somebody like Holyfield, as you see him in this matchup, is he still
33:29raw potential?
33:30That was something that was said a lot about him.
33:32Raw potential.
33:33Is he still that, or is he starting to craft himself?
33:35I think we're done with that.
33:37I think we're done with raw potential, or what can be, what could be someday.
33:41Now that someday is about...
33:42Oh!
33:43And in a very short time, Elijah Holyfield has put his name on the map.
33:47And I'll tell you what, the one thing that's very interesting about this, Bubba saw that
33:49early.
33:50Bubba went for Elijah Holyfield in the draft very early, and he knows taking him from under
33:55the tootel into the Undertaker is a great move.
33:57Big neckbreaker, center of the ring, Hill going in for the cover, hook of the leg, Holyfield
34:04able to kick out at two.
34:09Oh!
34:10Up a little too quick, a little too quick.
34:16That'll stop you in your tracks.
34:22Nice combination, neckbreaker into another cover, and another near fall.
34:26Another innovation, something new there that we haven't seen before from Shiloh Hill,
34:31and that was the directive.
34:32Let's bring out something new.
34:33And we're seeing a new look from Shiloh Hill.
34:35We're seeing, I think, some time in the gym.
34:37You can see that.
34:38And maybe a little bit more of a tan, that fresh face.
34:40Now, of course, fully, a full mouth of teeth.
34:45Look, when it comes to fashion, JB, I think everybody on A&E should be looking at you and
34:49listening for the fashion sense.
34:51You're a very fashionable individual, I might add.
34:53I wouldn't go that far, but...
34:57Oh!
34:58Oh!
34:58Oh!
34:59Oh!
35:01Oh!
35:02That's James and his father.
35:04Yeah, that right hand is money.
35:06Oh!
35:08Look at the explosion.
35:09Nice!
35:10Nice!
35:10That's Elijah!
35:12Wow.
35:13An onslaught of offense from Elijah Holyfield.
35:15Coming right back in.
35:16Big spine busting.
35:18Got some new moves.
35:19He's got some new things in the toolbox.
35:26All right, time to go to work.
35:28Nice back elbow.
35:29Yeah, it's time to go to work.
35:32Uh-oh!
35:34Into the cover for Hill.
35:36And wow!
35:37Big win on LFG.
35:39Steps forward all the way.
35:43Yeah, yeah.
35:45And even with the added pressure of the Hall of Famers, Bubble Ray Dudley and The Undertaker,
35:51what a match this was.
35:53Hill was able to overcome the odds.
35:56Overcome another obstacle to seal the deal here tonight.
36:02You would have definitely taken him in the second round, right?
36:05Well, maybe even the first round.
36:07Elijah?
36:08Yeah.
36:09Obviously, I had to take Shiloh.
36:11Yeah.
36:11I took Shiloh to the finals, right?
36:13Yep.
36:13But it hurt, man.
36:15It hurt when I heard you say Elijah.
36:24Good way to kick it off.
36:25Really fun.
36:27How's the shoot?
36:27Oh, it's...
36:28I have no feeling in it, so...
36:30This is the first time I heard, like, a big pop, and it kind of shocked me.
36:35When I was in the match, I was almost wondering, like, if there was something else going on.
36:38But I thought, there has to be the other first.
36:40We're the only ones wrestling, so it was my first time getting a big pop.
36:43All smiles at the PC, as the day's matches come to a close, and up next, the legends will select the standouts and award the points for the day.
36:52Faye's challenge was to bring something new to season two.
36:58And now, it's time to see which future greats impress the legends enough to earn a point for their team.
37:03We're going to start with the females, and I'm going to kick it off with Michelle McCool.
37:09This was not an easy vote.
37:13Xena, you're great as always.
37:15Tatiana, I love the new look.
37:17Serena, you came out a completely different person, working as a heel, felt comfortable, and I saw that.
37:23I think you fought a good, aggressive match, Panina.
37:26I like the new sphere.
37:28I like the attitude.
37:29I like your presence.
37:29I like how you carry yourself.
37:31That's why my point goes to Panina.
37:33Booker T, let's spin it up.
37:36Serena, you know, you stepped up.
37:39As far as totally 180 from season one to season two, you showed me so much.
37:46My vote goes to spring.
37:47Okay.
37:48Taker, what do you say?
37:50Xena, you, right now, you're still the one to beat.
37:55And, I mean, you need to be prepared for that.
37:58Because everybody that's standing up there with you, and the other girls,
38:02they're coming, they're coming after you.
38:05Everybody wants this, and I think everybody right now, where we're at, everybody's got a shot.
38:10But, Serena, you're getting my vote.
38:13Okay, so that's two votes for Serena.
38:17Bubba Ray, looks like it comes down to your vote.
38:21Xena, it must suck to be the one to beat, but not get the point.
38:27The most new we've seen is from you, Serena.
38:31You get my vote.
38:32Serena, you are the standout female here today.
38:39What you saw after my first match on season two is only a glimpse of what I'm going to bring the rest of the season,
38:45which is a new side of me and someone that is relentless and willing to do whatever it takes to win.
38:51Moving on to the standout males.
38:56Elijah, you, to me, brought the most new.
39:01You get my vote.
39:04Chris, you're my guy, of course.
39:06But it's a couple of things we've got to work on.
39:09It's a couple of things we've got to change for season two.
39:12Something's got to change.
39:13You're damn right.
39:14I'm not living like this no more.
39:15I'm not walking up to these deliberations.
39:17I'm not doing these matches to get treated and talk to like this.
39:20I'm going to give y'all what y'all want.
39:22It might be too much.
39:23I hope y'all ready, but I'm going to give y'all what y'all want.
39:25The one guy that stepped up, I thought, was Elijah Holyfield.
39:31In my eyes, the guy that improved the most is Elijah Holyfield.
39:37For the new stuff that I saw with you, Elijah, and it looks so freaking good, I vote for Elijah.
39:44Unanimous vote for Elijah.
39:45So the standout future greats today, Serena and Elijah.
39:51This is a war, not a battle.
39:53This is not a quick thing.
39:54So I'm sure I may have won this battle in a sense.
39:56But I understand that there's still so much work to do.
39:59With that, Buckle Ray, you are on the board with one point.
40:03Undertaker, one point.
40:05And Booker T, currently in the lead with two points.
40:09The points have been awarded, and the future greats meet with their coaches for some end-of-the-day conversations.
40:17Earlier, when we talked, you continued to help me dig deeper to find that in myself, and to be able to push that.
40:29Because I was pissed off.
40:30I know you probably knew that.
40:32I was pissed off back there.
40:33My job is to find your button and not push it, kick it, and to bring the best out of you.
40:43I definitely did my job, and I definitely showed Bubba that I can make any role fit, no matter what.
40:51While the future greats brought a lot of changes to LFG today, sometimes the more things change, the more they stay the same.
40:58What happened?
40:59Too much.
40:59I didn't do it.
41:00Too much.
41:01I'll have to save some pizza when I get back here.
41:03Too much.
41:03That just popped out.
41:04So I bite into a slice of pizza, and my fake tooth breaks off the screw in my mouth.
41:12What did you bite into?
41:13I literally just bit into this pizza, just like this.
41:18I didn't really like it that much anyways.
41:20It didn't really fit the look.
41:23My gum was like super close, too.
41:30I can't fucking make this.
41:32I'm like, what the fuck?
41:34Next time on LFG.
41:41I would like to tell you, you're all going to make it.
41:44The entirety of LFG Season 1 on my back.
41:48It's always about the intent.
41:49It was deliberate.
41:50It was deliberate.
