00:00:00Previously on LFG
00:00:02Today is Tag Team Warfare
00:00:07Here's what we're looking for today
00:00:09Show me how you can get together as a cohesive unit
00:00:12And unite
00:00:14That's one of the biggest things that you have to show when you're out there
00:00:18BJ just tagged himself each
00:00:20This is not right, this is not right, this is not right, this is not right
00:00:23I just can't believe they even let BJ back in the building
00:00:26After what he pulled
00:00:28You put every single person in the ring in jeopardy
00:00:38Go sit next to him
00:00:49You know why I want you so close?
00:00:51Because you're both responsible for one of the worst matches I've ever seen
00:00:56That tag match was absolutely abysmal
00:01:00And not only was the match bad, but you both were unprofessional
00:01:06Levels of unprofessionalism which would get your ass kicked and you fired
00:01:12So you know what you're gonna do?
00:01:14You're gonna have a match with one another
00:01:20You're gonna work with him and you're gonna work with him
00:01:24Go get your gear on because you're doing it right now
00:01:28Welcome to the ultimate proving ground

00:01:52F O R Fun
00:01:54Four Legends
00:01:55He is the epitome of WrestleMania
00:01:58I have broke down barriers for women
00:02:00E-M Phase at the table
00:02:04Can you think that sucker
00:02:06A chance to win an NXT contract.
00:02:11Every legend has a first chapter.
00:02:15The future starts now.
00:02:25Let's do it!
00:02:29The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
00:02:33Turn to New Seacrest, representing Team Moray!
00:02:38Where's he going?
00:02:39Come on, King!
00:02:42Why does he got this little tarot?
00:02:44From the minute he came through that curtain,
00:02:47I know he means business.
00:02:50I don't mean to laugh, J.B., Big Joseph, Jeremy Borash.
00:02:53There is a lot of tension in the air tonight on ILFG.
00:02:57Why does he got these jeans, though?
00:02:59He got his Wranglers.
00:03:00Why does he got jeans, though?
00:03:01Wranglers.
00:03:03He's like a street fighter.
00:03:05Okay.
00:03:10Might be a good way to address this matchup.
00:03:12A fight.
00:03:13Some live rounds coming.
00:03:16And his opponent,
00:03:18also representing Team Moray,
00:03:23BJ Ray!
00:03:26Why are they coming this way?
00:03:27What's that?
00:03:28Why does he have a song with them?
00:03:29Why does he have a song with them?
00:03:31What's that?
00:03:32What's that?
00:03:33Why does he have a song with them?
00:03:34What's that?
00:03:35Why does he have a song with them?
00:03:36I've seen him live?
00:03:37I've seen him up already.
00:03:51Zobaczmy.
00:04:21Drake Moreau, co jest myśleć?
00:04:23To może być to pierwszy
00:04:25we've seen all year.
00:04:27Easy to say,
00:04:29these two don't like each other
00:04:31and there might be a little extra
00:04:33oomph
00:04:34on every single maneuver we see.
00:04:35Especially after what happened last week
00:04:37and this is Bubba's test.
00:04:38This is an opportunity for Bubba
00:04:40to see if these two can work together.
00:04:42And Bubba has to be thinking
00:04:44in the big picture of his team
00:04:45who belongs, who goes,
00:04:47who stays, who's worthy
00:04:48and who needs to hit the rope.
00:04:49Well look, all these legends
00:04:50have obviously crossed paths
00:04:52with someone they didn't necessarily
00:04:53gel with.
00:04:54You see some of those welts
00:04:55forming on the back
00:04:56of Ray at this moment.
00:04:57But professionalism, JB,
00:04:59goes a long way in the WWE.
00:05:01Well, especially when you have
00:05:02somebody like The Undertaker
00:05:03kind of leading the ship here.
00:05:04This guy is the king
00:05:05of the locker room leader.
00:05:06The man who called the shots
00:05:08in the locker room backstage
00:05:09for so many years.
00:05:10And now to see these two
00:05:11and how things have developed
00:05:13and gone down between BJ Ray
00:05:14and Cutler.
00:05:15It's going to be interesting
00:05:16to see if they can pull it
00:05:17together for this matchup.
00:05:18You just have a,
00:05:19there's just a little bit
00:05:20of an odd feeling.
00:05:21A little, as I mentioned,
00:05:22tension in the air.
00:05:23But there is certainly
00:05:24a vibe here right now
00:05:26that you can't quite
00:05:28put your finger on.
00:05:29BJ's holding him in a way
00:05:31where he looks small.
00:05:32Swartz and Cutler
00:05:34look small.
00:05:35Well to that point,
00:05:37I mean the question's been,
00:05:38can these two work together
00:05:41in the ring, JB?
00:05:42I mean I don't know how
00:05:43to put it any more simpler
00:05:44than that as we see a nice
00:05:45submission being locked in
00:05:46right now.
00:05:47Check that.
00:05:48Uh, obviously a situation
00:05:49where Bubba Ray just wants
00:05:51to see these guys be
00:05:52professional,
00:05:53work it out together in the
00:05:54ring.
00:05:55And as we continue...
00:05:56Whoa!
00:05:57Big left and...
00:05:58Trying to hold on for dear
00:06:00life right now.
00:06:01But look, JB, you,
00:06:02you're a legend in this
00:06:03business.
00:06:04You've had to work with
00:06:05people and you've had to
00:06:06talk to people that you
00:06:07didn't necessarily gel with
00:06:09at the workplace.
00:06:10Big clothesline.
00:06:11And Cutler right now is
00:06:12rolling.
00:06:13Hey, what's going on?
00:06:14What is it?
00:06:15Wait, who's left...
00:06:16Is there somebody left-handed
00:06:17here?
00:06:18Why was that so...
00:06:19Why did that look so wonky?
00:06:22It looks very tight to me.
00:06:24This goes back to what I was
00:06:25just saying.
00:06:26What's going on?
00:06:27What's going on?
00:06:28What's going on?
00:06:29What's going on?
00:06:30What's going on?
00:06:31Wait, who's left...
00:06:32Is there somebody left-handed
00:06:33here?
00:06:34Why was that so...
00:06:35Why did that look so wonky?
00:06:37This goes back to what I was
00:06:39just saying.
00:06:40I mean, you've had to have
00:06:41dance partners that you
00:06:42necessarily don't want to
00:06:43dance with.
00:06:44Well, certainly when you
00:06:45take a look at the
00:06:46situation between these
00:06:47two, so much bad blood
00:06:48and history, it's hard to
00:06:49forget that sometimes.
00:06:50Come on.
00:06:51Kick out.
00:06:52Hard to put out
00:06:53everything behind you,
00:06:54but that's what a true
00:06:55professional does.
00:06:56You can bet that's
00:06:57happened to every legend
00:06:58on the panel.
00:06:59Oh, some rights.
00:07:01JB, you've been in a
00:07:02number of different
00:07:03companies.
00:07:04I mean, you've seen it
00:07:05all here.
00:07:06long-key to you,
00:07:08for lack of a better
00:07:09phrase.
00:07:10And I don't know if
00:07:11that's Bubba Ray being
00:07:12frustrated with the
00:07:13whole process, the
00:07:14culmination of what's
00:07:15happened between these
00:07:16two, but he wants to see
00:07:17somebody stand out.
00:07:18He wants to be sure he's
00:07:19got a team full of
00:07:20professionals.
00:07:23Another cover off the
00:07:24body slam, hook of the
00:07:25inside leg, and a kick
00:07:27out of one.
00:07:30We go back to the
00:07:32gelling factor of these
00:07:33two.
00:07:34to be able to work
00:07:35together in animosity,
00:07:36maybe in every elbow,
00:07:37every punch, every kick.
00:07:38There's a lot of
00:07:39question marks surrounding
00:07:40this matchup.
00:07:41Can these two put it
00:07:42together?
00:07:43Can they work together
00:07:44to impress the judges,
00:07:45specifically their own
00:07:47coach, their own legend,
00:07:49Bubba Ray Dudley?
00:07:50Well, this is a certain
00:07:51instance where teamwork
00:07:52is really going to be the
00:07:54only way you can benefit
00:07:55yourself.
00:07:56And working together,
00:07:57together.
00:07:58Look at this.
00:07:59Whoa!
00:08:00That's it!
00:08:01That's it!
00:08:02What?
00:08:04Here is your winner,
00:08:07BJ Hooray!
00:08:11I just don't know what
00:08:12that match was.
00:08:13It was awful.
00:08:14There was nothing to it.
00:08:16It was boring.
00:08:18It was all right for about
00:08:21the first 30 seconds.
00:08:23And then BJ was blown.
00:08:25He was huffing and puffing.
00:08:27Like, the dude is so out of
00:08:30shape.
00:08:31And when you're blown,
00:08:33you can't think.
00:08:34You don't know where you
00:08:35are.
00:08:36It was clunky.
00:08:37It was stiff.
00:08:38And Cutler's just worried
00:08:39about his stuff.
00:08:40And he's not selling my
00:08:41stuff.
00:08:42He's not making any of my
00:08:43stuff look good.
00:08:44I'm sure some of it's on me.
00:08:48I need to be a better
00:08:49communicator.
00:08:50I'm still learning a lot,
00:08:52but being in shape and being
00:08:53able to finish a match
00:08:54without coughing up a lung is
00:08:56a huge part of this business.
00:08:57And if you can't make it
00:08:59through a five-minute match,
00:09:00get out of here.
00:09:05How is it possible to have
00:09:07such an awful match?
00:09:10Seriously.
00:09:11How is that possible?
00:09:13How could you go out there
00:09:14and have that?
00:09:17You hate him.
00:09:18You hate him.
00:09:19What was that?
00:09:22You want to hug and kiss and
00:09:24shake hands and make up?
00:09:26Or you want to go out there
00:09:27and you want to show something?
00:09:30Me.
00:09:31The rest of the coaches.
00:09:32The fans.
00:09:33Anybody.
00:09:34Do something.
00:09:39Now I'm going to force you
00:09:40to do something.
00:09:43You're doing it again.
00:09:46That match.
00:09:47I hope never makes air on this show.
00:09:53You're going to go out there
00:09:54and you're going to do it
00:09:55one more time.
00:09:58Here's the step.
00:09:59One stays.
00:10:00The other goes.
00:10:01You and you.
00:10:02Look at each other.
00:10:04You're either sending him home,
00:10:05or you're sending him home.
00:10:06If I need to whoop Cutler
00:10:07in another competition once again
00:10:08and send this dude home crying
00:10:09with his big ego,
00:10:10I'm all for it, baby.
00:10:12Still to come on LFG.
00:10:13BJ and Cutler do battle again.
00:10:14This time in front of a live audience.
00:10:15And one of these competitors
00:10:16will be sent home.
00:10:18After an explosive morning
00:10:19and the next day,
00:10:20you're sending him home.
00:10:21You're sending him home.
00:10:22You're sending him home.
00:10:23Or you're sending him home.
00:10:24Or you're sending him home.
00:10:25If I need to whoop Cutler
00:10:26in another competition once again
00:10:27and send this dude home crying
00:10:28with his big ego,
00:10:29I'm all for it, baby.
00:10:30Still to come on LFG.
00:10:31BJ and Cutler do battle again.
00:10:32This time in front of a live audience.
00:10:34And one of these competitors
00:10:35will be sent home.
00:10:36After an explosive morning
00:10:41at the Performance Center,
00:10:43Shawn Michaels arrives
00:10:44to address the future greats.
00:10:46Good morning, everyone.
00:10:47Good morning.
00:10:48Good morning.
00:10:49As we've stated,
00:10:51and as you've seen, okay,
00:10:53anything can happen out there.
00:10:55And this job is about being prepared
00:10:57every step of the way.
00:10:59We've had power outages in buildings,
00:11:02a fight breaking out in the stands.
00:11:05This is very real and very live live.
00:11:14Some of you are gonna have matches.
00:11:17Something's gonna go wrong.
00:11:19And you're gonna have to figure out
00:11:22how you deal with it.
00:11:24You still have X amount of time left
00:11:27to get it done on live television.
00:11:29What are you gonna do?
00:11:31How prepared are you gonna be?
00:11:34And guess what?
00:11:36You're not gonna know what's going wrong.
00:11:39Because we never do.
00:11:41And today, we're gonna do our best
00:11:43to allow you to experience that
00:11:45and see how you deal with it.
00:11:51This is a good one.
00:11:52What do you think Shawn's talking about?
00:11:54Come on, man.
00:11:55You know how the business is.
00:11:57If this pressure cooker wasn't on high already...
00:12:00It's gonna get messy.
00:12:01It could get very messy really quickly.
00:12:04Yeah.
00:12:05Green, green rides to the top.
00:12:06Yeah.
00:12:07This is gonna be a test.
00:12:08They're gonna need to be ready for everything.
00:12:10Everything. I like that.
00:12:12Oh.
00:12:13So we gotta...
00:12:14We gotta book some matches.
00:12:15Um, I need to throw Drake's name into the hat
00:12:19real, real quick.
00:12:20Because, uh, he was in the wrong place
00:12:22at the wrong time last week,
00:12:24and I had to remove him from that match
00:12:26and put Cutler and BJ together.
00:12:28And I... I apologized to Drake
00:12:31for that whole situation.
00:12:33So if you guys are cool with it,
00:12:34I need to get him in a match.
00:12:36Uh, that's fine.
00:12:37Who we got? Drake, uh...
00:12:39I got Troy Yearwood.
00:12:40I would love to see something out of him.
00:12:42Yeah, I wanna see somebody
00:12:43Troy Yearwood, too.
00:12:44I wanna see some aggression.
00:12:45I mean, a kick...
00:12:46I mean, he checks off a lot of the boxes,
00:12:47but, yeah, I agree with...
00:12:49Yes.
00:12:50I think we're all still waiting
00:12:51to see the mean streak out of Troy.
00:12:53Yeah.
00:12:54I personally...
00:12:56I am scratching my head with Tyra
00:13:00and trying to get that beast
00:13:02that won the gold medal out of her.
00:13:05So I would like to put her in there with somebody.
00:13:08I just...
00:13:09I got somebody for you.
00:13:10Who you got?
00:13:11Lee Laurel.
00:13:12I've said it from the outset,
00:13:14she's gonna be a major star.
00:13:15But I think I've taken the wrong route
00:13:17as far as, you know,
00:13:18trying to play the wrong role.
00:13:20I think we need to see her in a babyface role.
00:13:23I think that's where...
00:13:24I think that's where the money is.
00:13:25What if we did, like, a mixed tag?
00:13:27Love mixed tags.
00:13:29We gotta see Penina.
00:13:30I know we gotta see Penina.
00:13:32She has something,
00:13:34but she hadn't brought it out.
00:13:36I'm throwing Xena into the mix.
00:13:38Oh, yeah.
00:13:39The girl who does everything right
00:13:41because you know Xena is the top woman
00:13:43in this competition.
00:13:44Whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:13:45Calm down now.
00:13:46Come on.
00:13:47Let's pump the brakes.
00:13:48Let's pump the brakes.
00:13:49Pump the brakes.
00:13:50We'll see at the end of this whole competition.
00:13:52No, we will.
00:13:53Okay.
00:13:54That only leaves Chris Island for me.
00:13:56I've got Shiloh.
00:13:57They have good chemistry.
00:13:58Shiloh and Xena versus Chris Island and Penina.
00:14:03Penina.
00:14:04I'm good with my pick.
00:14:05You know what I'm saying?
00:14:06I'm great with mine.
00:14:07Okay, so we got Tyra and Lee.
00:14:08Yep, yep.
00:14:09We got Drake and Troy.
00:14:10Yeah.
00:14:11We got the mixed tag.
00:14:12Yes.
00:14:13And then we got lose or leave.
00:14:15And Lord knows what's gonna happen.
00:14:18There are gonna be some fireworks.
00:14:19DJ and Cutler.
00:14:20DJ and Cutler, yeah.
00:14:21DJ and Cutler.
00:14:22I like it.
00:14:23With the day's matches now set, the future greats prepare to step into the ring and must be ready to expect the unexpected.
00:14:33Are we ready?
00:14:34Are we ready?
00:14:35Are we ready to spin this sub bitch up?
00:14:38Let's do it, man!
00:14:39Yeah!
00:14:40Yeah!
00:14:41Yeah!
00:14:42Yeah!
00:14:43Yeah!
00:14:44Yeah!
00:14:45Yeah!
00:14:46Yeah!
00:14:47Yeah!
00:14:48Yeah!
00:14:49Yeah!
00:14:50Yeah!
00:14:51Yeah!
00:14:52Yeah!
00:14:53Yeah!
00:14:54Yeah!
00:14:55I'm now, now we're off to a, uh...
00:15:09We're off to a rough start this week on LFG.
00:15:14Zobaczmy, co we saw earlier z B.J. Wray.
00:15:16Cutler...
00:15:253, 2, 1.
00:15:32And your opponent,
00:15:34representing
00:15:36Team Volker T!
00:15:39Lain Morrell!
00:15:44Well, that might be the most amount of personality I've seen from her yet.
00:15:50Think of the same thing.
00:15:53And that's been an issue for Lain Morrell throughout this entire LFG season.
00:15:59Some people don't like to get booed.
00:16:02I love getting booed.
00:16:04Awesome.
00:16:06I embrace the hate.
00:16:09I would say these legends are feeling a little surly.
00:16:13As Tyra and Lee square off, what they don't know is that at some point during the match, the ring ropes are going to break, and they'll need to adjust on the fly.
00:16:25This is something we can't imagine what's going to happen.
00:16:29We've just been told to be ready for anything.
00:16:31They have been told to be ready for anything.
00:16:34Shawn Michaels teased a few things earlier in the broadcast, but his point in this is to make sure they can improvise, they can call things on the fly.
00:16:42You know you've done hundreds of hours of live television, Vic.
00:16:45I ain't lying.
00:16:46Anything can happen in live TV.
00:16:48You know, that adjustability, that being able to adjust on the fly, it goes a long way for everyone involved as we see a jockeying of position.
00:16:57Big suplex by Steele.
00:16:58Slow down, ladies.
00:17:00You take a look at the grand scheme of things, though, JB.
00:17:03This is a good learning experience for all these athletes.
00:17:07Well, we're going to wait and see how they react, but we don't know what's coming.
00:17:10I'm real interested to see what's up. Shawn Michaels leaving this one.
00:17:13Who the f*** doesn't know how to take that bomb?
00:17:17And she doesn't know how to give it. What's she doing the...
00:17:19Who's the baby face here?
00:17:21Lee.
00:17:22Lee.
00:17:23I mean, is this a frickin' heel match or what? Is this a job match? It's ridiculous.
00:17:28She's about to turn it around.
00:17:30It's too damn late to turn it around.
00:17:33Well, she's turning it around.
00:17:36Booker giving some obvious feedback right there.
00:17:39Big boot by Lee, and you just see the body language of the Undertaker.
00:17:42I feel bad for his team. Into the cover. Lee looking for the win.
00:17:46Steele able to get that left shoulder off the mat.
00:17:49What's she going to do? She going to out-wrestle the Olympic champion?
00:17:52You got to set the table.
00:17:55They don't know him. They don't know yet.
00:17:59She should out-wrestle her.
00:18:05It's just an odd day.
00:18:07I think Patience is running thin. I think we can say that.
00:18:09That's for sure. Obviously, Undertaker.
00:18:11But Tyra May Steele as his protege.
00:18:14And Lee Laurel on behalf of Team Booker.
00:18:17He can sense some frustration here.
00:18:19Cover.
00:18:20This is nothing but memorization and motion.
00:18:23Lee does not.
00:18:27Different tone here tonight, even amongst the legends.
00:18:31Just right in the eye, right in front of you, ref.
00:18:33Not even the referee getting yelled at.
00:18:35Steel overpowering.
00:18:36Oh, my .
00:18:38Right off that top rope. I mean, we're supposed to expect anything.
00:18:43You're not about to take a mask off and go from Jeremy Boras to Jason Alberts, are you?
00:18:46Well, no. One thing I can tell you is that this is a situation where we don't know what's going to happen.
00:18:52We've been told something will happen. Something unexpected. Card subject to change. Be ready for anything. I don't know what that means, but my eyes are glued.
00:18:59Maybe nothing will happen. Maybe we're sitting here waiting for something to happen and it'll just go on as normal.
00:19:05Tyra's regressing.
00:19:08I think she had a good showing at the beginning because it was very protected and she did what she knew.
00:19:14That's a very interesting statement though, JB. You see it that way when it comes to Steel.
00:19:19Tyra could be regressing. Maybe it's just a shaking of the confidence. Maybe it's the frustration of the day. Maybe she's buckling under the pressure.
00:19:26Maybe it's like us sitting here on edge wondering what's that. Oh! The buckle broke! Back on LFG. This matchup continuing. Oh! The buckle broke!
00:19:42When we found out what was going to go wrong with our match in the moment, they put a heavy task on me and Tyra that day.
00:19:51Well, when the ring breaks and you're alive, you got to keep going and this man throwing a wrench in the game plan of Lila Rell and Tyra Mae Steele.
00:19:59We've seen that happen. Oh, I've done that. I've been, hey, I've been on the top rope and that happened.
00:20:09Well, it's a scary situation, but now, how will these two adapt? How will these two adjust to what just happened? I mean, JB, there's no frickin' top rope!
00:20:19There's no top rope, though. Anything could be planned that was involving the ropes. It's thrown out the window at this point. Now it's up to Tyra Mae Steele and Lila Rell.
00:20:25Inside cradle! Inside cradle!
00:20:27Take that element. Take that option out of the picture. Now you've got to focus more on the ground gate. Deliver some kicks. That's what Lila Rell is doing.
00:20:35And do another cover. Another hook of the leg. And I don't know, but it seemed like a sense of urgency has picked up in these two athletes in this very moment. Adjusting on the fly.
00:20:44What on earth is this s***?
00:20:50I also now stand corrected thanks The Undertaker.
00:20:53Unhappy. Submission locked in and a quick tap out by Lila Rell.
00:20:59Here is your winner, Tyra Mae Steele!
00:21:06Again, not about wins, not about losses. About who can impress the judges. Who can impress the legends. As you see into the eyes of the Hall of Famers, The Undertaker, Booker T, Bubba Ray Dudley, Mickie James looking on as well.
00:21:21Who impressed the most in this match between Steele and Lila Rell?
00:21:27Ladies, what a wild way to start. I mean, when Shawn Michaels said expect the unexpected, I didn't know he was talking about this.
00:21:45As far as the ring rope raking, I think I'll handle that pretty well. The match, I think we need to take a step back to take a step forward.
00:22:01I think you did your best work after the break, actually. I really do. I see a lot of work. We got to do a lot of work.
00:22:09You guys had a lot on your plate in that match right there. Less is more.
00:22:14Did you think it was good?
00:22:16I thought it was better than my tag match. I thought I brought it up.
00:22:21Did you think this match was good?
00:22:23Well, where I'm at, yes.
00:22:26Lee, did you think this match was good?
00:22:29Sure, I mean, it wasn't executed the way it was.
00:22:32You guys don't even sound confident in your answers.
00:22:35You're taking steps back, and you're not taking steps forward.
00:22:41And that's the God's honest truth.
00:22:44You can roll your eyes all you want. You didn't roll your eyes at anybody else.
00:22:48She rolled her eyes.
00:22:52She's emotional. She's gonna cry. Like, she's trying to not cry. That's what's happening.
00:22:57So is looking up rolling your eyes? To me, it's not.
00:23:01To me, looking up is going, calm down. Oh, you're rolling your eyes.
00:23:06No, I'm not rolling my eyes. I'm not somebody that's disrespectful like that.
00:23:10Thank you, Legends. Thank you, ladies.
00:23:12It's incredibly frustrating. She's taking steps backwards instead of steps forward.
00:23:18I'm trying to figure out if it's me, if it's her in her own head, if it's a combination of both.
00:23:27Yeah, I think we lost sight of the match a little bit, and...
00:23:32Oh, it's a disappointment for me. I wanted it to be good.
00:23:37While Tyra and Lee digest the Legends' feedback,
00:23:41the rest of the future greats prepare for their turn in the spotlight.
00:23:45And up next, it's Drake Moreau against Troy Yearwood.
00:23:54I'm confident, because, you know, I've been out there plenty of times.
00:23:57I'm confident in myself, with my experience, that whatever it is, we can change and make it work.
00:24:04The following contest is scheduled for wonderful!
00:24:16Introducing first, representing Team Boomeray!
00:24:21Why is it not Drake Moreau?
00:24:23Where is it Dancy Dan?
00:24:25Whatever needs to be done to make The Undertaker crack a smile, I mean, I honestly have known the man quite a long time.
00:24:33I've never seen him like this. Frustration, yeah, it's there, and deservedly so, honestly.
00:24:43And his opponent, representing Team Mickey James, Troy Yearwood!
00:24:54You can't let this go to waste.
00:25:03You can't let the go... I want him to succeed. I want Troy to succeed.
00:25:11Mickey, you said you wanted to see the aggressive side of him.
00:25:13Yes, I did.
00:25:15This match between Drake and Troy was slated to run for four minutes.
00:25:22However, what they don't know is that just before that four-minute mark, they're gonna have an additional three minutes added to their time.
00:25:29And they'll need to adjust on the fly.
00:25:32A lot of pressure on the back of everybody, not only these performers in the ring on their journey here on LFG, these future greats.
00:25:38But don't let their moods, mood swings, comedy jabs fool you.
00:25:44These legends are very, very much competing against one another as well.
00:25:48And that competitive juice, that competitive nature, all four of them have.
00:25:52Not taking a break, not taking a vacation anytime soon.
00:25:55Don't let those smiles fool you.
00:25:56They are very competitive amongst each other.
00:25:58One of these legends will walk away the LFG champion.
00:26:02Championship title will be awarded at the end of the season.
00:26:08You're already playing games. You gotta go after him, man.
00:26:12Not only that, but also two NXT contracts.
00:26:15But tonight, it's about being ready for absolutely anything on LFG.
00:26:20We're about a minute and a half in with absolutely nothing done.
00:26:24We'll remind everyone, too, that the buckle broke between Steele and Lee Laurel.
00:26:29I mean, it could come from anywhere. It could happen at any moment.
00:26:33There, finally. Come on.
00:26:36I mean, we've even been having to stay on our toes, so to speak.
00:26:39But just an odd feeling all night long.
00:26:41And it really started with Cutler and BJ to start the night.
00:26:45And it has now led to this matchup.
00:26:46But it's Yearwood, who is cruising until right there.
00:26:50If you can't do the move, don't do the move.
00:26:53Especially when you know his...
00:26:54And you can't throw a drop kick.
00:26:55And you can't throw a drop kick.
00:26:56A drop kick is so good.
00:26:57Well, you might have to be able to throw it, but you can't run sideways.
00:26:59He's out of position right there.
00:27:01Now, this is, by far, the most critical I think our legends have ever been.
00:27:05Towards the future, greats. We're seeing it.
00:27:07Obviously, the boot's set early.
00:27:09But on Bubba's side of things, he also has to be concerned
00:27:11that one of his team members tonight will be going home.
00:27:14Cover. Kick down.
00:27:16And obviously, Drake being on the team with Team Bubba,
00:27:19knowing that either BJ Ray or Cutler James
00:27:22will be given the boot at the end of this program.
00:27:25Well, it's gonna be very interesting. A lot of his mind, I'm sure.
00:27:28That's what we said early on.
00:27:29And you wonder what the rest of Team Bubba is thinking.
00:27:32But now they're going in there with something extra on their mind
00:27:34than just doing their job.
00:27:35And as you've heard from these legends this far
00:27:37with what they've seen just in this matchup,
00:27:39we're at a juncture, though, JB,
00:27:41where things are gonna be extra scrutinized.
00:27:44The magnifying glass is gonna come out,
00:27:46but you have to be crisp and precise in the ring.
00:27:49The honeymoon period is over.
00:27:51No question about it.
00:27:53Oh, yeah. Oh, missed by a foot.
00:27:56Missed by a foot and a half.
00:27:57What was that?
00:27:58What was that?
00:27:59Three misses.
00:28:00What was that?
00:28:01For at least a yard.
00:28:03All total.
00:28:06I know I don't have my glasses, but damn.
00:28:09That's what we mean.
00:28:10Everything right now is scrutinized.
00:28:11You've been in the program long enough,
00:28:13off the splash into the cover and a kick out.
00:28:15You've been around these legends long enough
00:28:17for not just days but weeks.
00:28:18You got to be at their level of what they've taught you.
00:28:22No urgency.
00:28:24I think they are tired of saying the same things
00:28:27and not seeing their knowledge implemented.
00:28:29Maybe to them that's personal offense
00:28:30and not taking it seriously.
00:28:32And I think that after you repeat yourself
00:28:34and say the same thing,
00:28:35and it's not being...
00:28:36Well, it's not being shown.
00:28:37That progress is not there.
00:28:39That's where the frustration sets in.
00:28:40To be fair, I mean,
00:28:41how many weeks have we sat here on LFG, JB?
00:28:44It's not like we're in week two,
00:28:46and we've heard these legends have the same critiques
00:28:49and the same thing.
00:28:50I mean, you get frustrated as a coach
00:28:52trying to get your team, your players,
00:28:54wait a minute, from behind, shoulders down,
00:28:56and another near fall to run the play how you want it to.
00:28:58I mean, it's understandable.
00:29:00Well, we've heard the same things about a lot.
00:29:01Obviously, Troy Yearwood's one of them.
00:29:03Troy Yearwood can be the greatest guy in the gym
00:29:05and set every record,
00:29:06but he's not implementing and connecting with the audience.
00:29:09Well, that's not going to be...
00:29:10That's going to be a big problem as he goes on.
00:29:12Hey, Troy.
00:29:13We've got three more minutes added to your time from the back.
00:29:16Three more minutes added to your time.
00:29:18Three more minutes.
00:29:19Oh, wow.
00:29:20Three extra minutes.
00:29:21Three extra minutes.
00:29:22How will these two adapt?
00:29:23We're not done yet.
00:29:24We've got to get more excited to the time.
00:29:25Three minutes, you might think,
00:29:26in just three minutes.
00:29:27Three minutes is an eternity
00:29:29when you step into the square circle.
00:29:30All right.
00:29:31Well, three extra minutes.
00:29:32Let's see what they do with it.
00:29:33Bye-bye-bye-bye-bye-bye-bye-bye-bye-bye-bye-bye-bye.
00:29:35You're on LFG.
00:29:36We've been telling you all night,
00:29:37be ready for any time.
00:29:39Oh, wow.
00:29:40Three extra minutes.
00:29:41Three extra minutes.
00:29:42Let's see what they do with it.
00:29:43Bye-bye-bye-bye-bye-bye-bye-bye-bye-bye-bye-bye.
00:29:44You're on LFG.
00:29:45We've been telling you all night,
00:29:46be ready for anything.
00:29:49Well, adding time, subtracting time,
00:29:51that happens on a weekly basis in live television.
00:29:54It's just part of the deal.
00:29:55You have to be ready to adjust either way.
00:29:57It's a great lesson for these two competitors.
00:30:02No!
00:30:03No!
00:30:04No!
00:30:05That's your three extra minutes.
00:30:07That's...
00:30:08You got this opportunity.
00:30:09You got...
00:30:10You got an opportunity for three extra minutes
00:30:12to prove yourself,
00:30:13and you're gonna can him to the floor.
00:30:15He's the heel.
00:30:16Mm-hmm.
00:30:17He's the heel, and he's, you know,
00:30:18pulling that move right there.
00:30:20I mean, it's just not working right now for me.
00:30:22Seems like he wanna go out there
00:30:23and beat the crap out of him.
00:30:25If he is gonna, you know,
00:30:26can him, can him,
00:30:27and go out and beat the out of him.
00:30:29Yeah, right?
00:30:30That's why you can somebody, right?
00:30:31Yeah, yeah.
00:30:32I mean, from a heel's perspective.
00:30:33And again, we come back to that magnifying glass,
00:30:36but now I come back to what Mickie James said
00:30:38at the beginning.
00:30:39She's looking for that sort of aggression
00:30:40out of, out of Yearwood,
00:30:41and he's not bringing it.
00:30:44You know, there's no sense of urgency
00:30:46in what he did, right?
00:30:47Throw him out, take him off.
00:30:48Huge that three pass.
00:30:49Absolutely.
00:30:50Well, obviously, having to adjust on the fly here.
00:30:53We saw it earlier with Leela Rowell
00:30:54and Tyra Mae Steele in the ring.
00:30:55Yeah.
00:30:56Broke.
00:30:57Now it's an item in it.
00:30:58Inside cradle, center of the ring.
00:31:01I was about to say, I don't think that three minutes
00:31:02is quite up yet, JB.
00:31:03Big clothesline, though, from Drake.
00:31:06Minute left.
00:31:07What do they got?
00:31:08Minute left.
00:31:09Let's see what they do.
00:31:10Let's see what they do.
00:31:11Let's see if you grab a hold.
00:31:12Let's see if you grab a hold.
00:31:13I was, like, thinking,
00:31:14what would I do in that situation?
00:31:15Let's see if you grab a hold right here.
00:31:16I think I would...
00:31:18probably grab a hold right away.
00:31:20At least right here.
00:31:21This is where it's nerve-wracking
00:31:22when you're a legend
00:31:23because you can only take them so far.
00:31:25they gotta be able to push themselves over a threshold.
00:31:28They gotta think for themselves.
00:31:29They gotta be able to improvise.
00:31:30And that's what we're seeing right now,
00:31:32or in this case,
00:31:33may not be seeing too well.
00:31:34According to legends,
00:31:35not too happy with how this is going.
00:31:40Oh, my God.
00:31:41Another foot.
00:31:42Another foot.
00:31:43Another foot.
00:31:44Another foot.
00:31:45That's seven missed punches.
00:31:48His forearms are good, though.
00:31:51He should be doing that the whole time.
00:31:52That's what he should be doing.
00:31:53He showed those the whole time.
00:31:55Because he can't punch.
00:31:57Dang it.
00:31:58It's not about wins and losses.
00:31:59It's about impressing the legends.
00:32:02And could Big Drake have an exclamation point
00:32:06right here, right now,
00:32:08off the chokeslam?
00:32:10Time is up on Yearwood.
00:32:16Here is your winner,
00:32:17Drake Monroe!
00:32:21Be ready for anything.
00:32:22These two athletes better be prepared
00:32:25to hear anything
00:32:27when it comes to the critique
00:32:29from the four legends
00:32:30that I've been looking on
00:32:32watching this matchup here tonight
00:32:34on LFG.
00:32:35Well, I think their faces say it all, Vic,
00:32:37but we're gonna find out
00:32:38who earns that point tonight.
00:32:43All right, Drake, Troy,
00:32:44you guys got to the end of your match
00:32:46when you had an unexpected extra three minutes
00:32:48added to the time.
00:32:49Legends, how many times
00:32:51has this happened to you in your career?
00:32:53It's happened quite a bit.
00:32:55Yeah.
00:32:56Both ways.
00:32:57Added and subtracted.
00:32:58Yeah, yeah.
00:32:59And how do you think they both did
00:33:00with the on-the-fly adjustments?
00:33:02Mickey?
00:33:03They-they survived.
00:33:04As far as the task,
00:33:06you guys handled it as a situation,
00:33:08but it was not...
00:33:10it was not great.
00:33:12Troy, I don't-
00:33:13I'm sure everybody's gonna say this.
00:33:15I don't know what the hell was up
00:33:16with those punches, bro.
00:33:18You don't do something that you can't do
00:33:20ten times out of ten times.
00:33:22I mean, that's what I-
00:33:23that's what I talk about.
00:33:24I mean, a-a-a good-a form,
00:33:26a good uppercut goes a long way.
00:33:29A good chop goes a long way.
00:33:31Something that you cannot miss.
00:33:33But these, and you-
00:33:34Come on.
00:33:35Come on.
00:33:36Come on.
00:33:37You know-
00:33:38You should know better than that.
00:33:39You should know better than that.
00:33:41Okay?
00:33:43So, Drake, uh, you're a big man.
00:33:45Your stuff looks small.
00:33:48Your clothesline looks small.
00:33:49Your-
00:33:50everything looks small.
00:33:51When you're big,
00:33:52you have to work big.
00:33:54It's a gift.
00:33:55Size is a gift in this business.
00:33:58And you squandered all of that today.
00:34:01Uh, it got-
00:34:02it got jumbled.
00:34:03The-the one thing you guys did,
00:34:04you hit your three minutes.
00:34:06That's the-
00:34:07that's the plus that I can pull out of that.
00:34:08You guys hit your three minutes.
00:34:11Why did you throw him over the top rope?
00:34:13Honestly, why did you throw him over the top rope to the floor?
00:34:17Cause we were giving him more time.
00:34:18And I was-
00:34:20Look, look, look, look, look.
00:34:22What?
00:34:23Look at him.
00:34:24Look at him based on your answer.
00:34:26Yeah.
00:34:27Keep going.
00:34:28Uh, I've never been in that situation.
00:34:31So I was like, damn, how do I-
00:34:33without sitting here with him next to me, like,
00:34:35what do I do?
00:34:36I just figure- get him out of the ring so I can try and collect myself.
00:34:39You don't just fill.
00:34:41You get opportunity-
00:34:42all these are opportunities
00:34:44to separate yourself from everybody else.
00:34:47That's what this is.
00:34:48It's a competition.
00:34:50You don't wanna just kill time
00:34:52to get to the three through the three minutes.
00:34:55I got three minutes.
00:34:56That's the best thing that's gonna happen today.
00:34:59I got three extra minutes.
00:35:01I'm gonna show those four up there
00:35:03that I'm the one that should win this thing.
00:35:06Not that I'm gonna-
00:35:08I'm gonna stretch this out
00:35:09so I can get through my three minutes.
00:35:12All right, thank you, Legends.
00:35:13We'll get your collective decision later on.
00:35:15Troy, Drake, thank you, guys.
00:35:16I got three extra minutes.
00:35:17Like, now it's my time to shine, you know?
00:35:18After hearing them saying that, I understand it.
00:35:19And you live and you learn.
00:35:20Now I know.
00:35:21And I'll take advantage of it next time in that situation.
00:35:22I don't know, today just adds me deep in thought.
00:35:23I feel like the past several matches I've had,
00:35:25I've gotten chewed out and or I've gotten my opponent chewed out.
00:35:27I never want to be the reason why somebody else doesn't shine.
00:35:28And so, coming in week after week, I feel like I'm dragging others down.
00:35:32And I'm gonna be the reason why somebody else doesn't shine.
00:35:33I feel like the past several matches I've had, I've gotten chewed out and or I've gotten my opponent chewed out.
00:35:49I never wanna be the reason why somebody else doesn't shine.
00:35:52Tak, tak, tak, tak, tak, tak, tak, tak.
00:36:22KIND OF ADS TO A LITTLE BIT OF ELEMENT O PRESSURE AOIE
00:36:24BUT AT THE SAME TIME IT KIND OF TAKES PRESSURE OFF YOUR SHOULDER
00:36:26BECAUSE YOU KNOW THERE'S NO WAY YOU CAN PREPARE WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN.
00:36:28ALL RIGHT THEN!
00:36:30ALL RIGHT.
00:36:30WE HAVE TO STANDING
00:36:32HAD TO HARD.
00:36:34COME ON GUYS RT'S SPIN THIS SUBBITCH JUMP!
00:36:39HUGH!
00:36:40WHAT WE NEED IS A LITTLE BIT OF LE育tır
00:36:41unquote LE育นนSite.
00:36:47WOW.
00:36:48LE育 Saskia, UGHREE OF QUEEN
00:36:50Wow.
00:36:56The following is a mixed tag team match scheduled for one call.
00:37:02Introducing first, representing teams Booker T and Mickie James,
00:37:09Chris Island, and Loukina.
00:37:12Loukina, Loukina, Loukina.
00:37:15Interesting to note in the opening matchup, Cutler and BJ,
00:37:18we tried to see if they could work together.
00:37:21Now, correct me if I'm wrong, this is the first time we're seeing
00:37:25legends individual athletes pass the team,
00:37:28and now the legends are teaming and working together.
00:37:31What's wrong with him?
00:37:34I don't know, man.
00:37:36I'm talking about Booker.
00:37:38I don't know that at all.
00:37:42Ah-ha!
00:37:43Ah-ha, dear my God.
00:37:45Representing Team Bubba Ray and the Undertaker,
00:37:50Zena Sterling and Shiloh Hill.
00:37:57There you go.
00:37:58Move that mother-f*** out of your way.
00:38:00That's how you take charge.
00:38:03Undertaker is fired up tonight.
00:38:05Oh, he's all kinds of fired up.
00:38:06No questions.
00:38:07Get him with the last press.
00:38:08Presents.
00:38:09Look at that.
00:38:10Command it.
00:38:11Command it.
00:38:12Command it.
00:38:19As we get ready for mixed tag team action,
00:38:21what these four competitors don't know
00:38:23is there's going to be a power surge during the matchup,
00:38:26and the arena will go dark.
00:38:31Four different teams, one athlete from each.
00:38:34A lot of mathematical equations to try to figure out in this matchup.
00:38:38That looks like a nice roll.
00:38:40In control.
00:38:41Tight.
00:38:42Smooth.
00:38:43No sound.
00:38:44You think for that?
00:38:45Come on!
00:38:47Look at that.
00:38:48Like a cat.
00:38:51Being nasty doesn't seem to be very happy,
00:38:53but tonight the theme's been really about improvising, JB.
00:38:56Being ready for anything.
00:38:57Of course, live television, you have to be ready for anything.
00:39:01And as we've seen before, you know, through the course of your career.
00:39:04Sure.
00:39:05It's happened as well.
00:39:06I remember being at a show in Orlando during a pay-per-view,
00:39:09and the ceiling started on fire.
00:39:11Had to evacuate everybody.
00:39:12What?
00:39:13You had to improvise.
00:39:14I like the struggle right there.
00:39:15I like the struggle right there.
00:39:16I like the struggle right there.
00:39:17I like the struggle right there.
00:39:18Yeah.
00:39:19I don't mind up.
00:39:20I don't mind up.
00:39:21Yeah.
00:39:22Early on in this match, we see PNasty in control of Zeetna Thirling.
00:39:27Oh.
00:39:28What the hell?
00:39:29What was that?
00:39:30What was that?
00:39:31Do anyone else see or hear that?
00:39:35Ten, two, three.
00:39:37Ten, two.
00:39:39Ten, two.
00:39:40Can you hear me, JB?
00:39:41Yeah, I got you.
00:39:42Ten, two!
00:39:43Even we're trying to adjust here on the fly and again center of the ring.
00:39:47This tag team matchup continuing on LFG and we've seen a lot of different things happen
00:39:52tonight.
00:39:53I think we just had a little, Booker just had a little bit of a power surge just peeing
00:39:57an ass to his shoulder.
00:39:58Aw, there you go.
00:39:59There you go.
00:40:01Looking for the shoulder tackle now, turning right through Xena, up over, shoulders down,
00:40:05trying to get into a submission.
00:40:07Maybe looking for a Fujiwara armbar, now almost rings a Saturn, now shoulder crucifix, what
00:40:12a combination from Sterling.
00:40:14Bubba Ray so proud of Xena Sterling and Shiloh Hill, same way with Undertaker.
00:40:19These two I would say are the prized pupils of both those legends.
00:40:22Well again in this mixed tag team matchup, the men fight the men, the women fight the women,
00:40:26so whenever a tag is made, they will have to automatically be brought in the ring, which
00:40:30is what you just saw there when PNasty tagged out to Chris Island.
00:40:33Hill had to come into the matchup and now it is Island, it is Hill, who are trying to play
00:40:38a little bit of a game of human chess in the center of the ring with Hill in control.
00:40:44There you go, there you go, Shiloh!
00:40:45Big takedown from Hill, that's again what we've been talking about, everything you do is scrutinized.
00:40:51Oh!
00:40:52Oh!
00:40:53Oh!
00:40:54What the hell?
00:40:55What the hell?
00:40:56What the hell?
00:40:58One, two, three, four.
00:41:00He does that every time.
00:41:01You just stay away from those kids.
00:41:02Yeah.
00:41:03They look like .
00:41:05Oh!
00:41:06There you go, Gosh.
00:41:07There you go, Shiloh!
00:41:09Big takedown from Hill, that's again what we've been talking about, everything you do is scrutinized.
00:41:11Oh!
00:41:12Oh!
00:41:13Knocked the lights out!
00:41:14What the hell?
00:41:15Back on LFG.
00:41:16that's what the hell.
00:41:19Wcześniej na LFG.
00:41:22SÅ‚uchajcie!
00:41:23Oh!
00:41:24O s**t! Nóch te lancenki!
00:41:25What the f**k!
00:41:26What the hell?!
00:41:28C'mon.
00:41:30You don't make a dick like that.
00:41:31C'mon.
00:41:31What the hell happened right there?
00:41:32Well, expect the unexpected.
00:41:39What a s**t!
00:41:40She may have knocked Chris Hyland's lights out.
00:41:43You ain't lying.
00:41:44Uh-oh.
00:41:44You know, at what point is someone gonna go over The Undertaker
00:41:46Zac
00:41:53No
00:41:55Hello
00:41:58Zacz
00:42:01Zacz
00:42:02Zacz
00:42:05Wstrzeliście w szalcach.
00:42:07To został go wczoraj w skrócie,
00:42:11Here's a worst night Panina z taking.
00:42:13Wow.
00:42:14O , i'm just saying.
00:42:15W生活 porówie,
00:42:16a bucle break,
00:42:18we've seen time get added
00:42:20but the lights going out.
00:42:22This is,
00:42:22and even look at the coaches,
00:42:25the legends,
00:42:26those in the audience
00:42:27taking out their cellphones.
00:42:28This is wild.
00:42:30This is unexpected but look
00:42:33at these athletes fighting through it,
00:42:35I believe I just saw a tag made,
00:42:37so the men are gonna get back in.
00:42:38And Hill with a big clothesline.
00:42:40I wanna throw some ref, can't see it.
00:42:41Oh, a little trash.
00:42:43Oh!
00:42:44He covered it up, he covered it up.
00:42:46He can't see it, but imagine your opponent
00:42:48flying at you, full head of steam.
00:42:49I mean, if you don't see it, one wrong move.
00:42:51We've seen what's happened when Hill
00:42:53has been hit a little bit too hard.
00:42:55We've seen axes do happen.
00:42:56There's no lights.
00:42:57Was there a tag made?
00:43:00Hello?
00:43:00Can you see?
00:43:01I hope that wasn't a comeback.
00:43:03Yes, tag was made.
00:43:05What have they done?
00:43:07What have they done?
00:43:09Even Legends didn't see it.
00:43:13If they go home, I'm gonna lose my, forgive my own here.
00:43:16He hasn't been in a good mood all day,
00:43:17so I hope they don't go home.
00:43:20And Xena trying to get a big slam of P.
00:43:22Nasty.
00:43:25Cover.
00:43:28And I don't know if Island broke it up.
00:43:29Again, there's no power, there's no light.
00:43:31It's hard for us to see, but we do know
00:43:33this match has continued.
00:43:34There was not a three count, but P. Nasty from behind.
00:43:38Jumping Xena.
00:43:39Turning things right around for her team.
00:43:42Trap the arm.
00:43:43Trap the other arm.
00:43:44Oh!
00:43:46Power from P. Nasty.
00:43:49Picking up the win.
00:43:53Here are your winners.
00:43:54The team of Chris Island and Bonita Tlalapa.
00:44:00Oh, look, we were warned at the start, be ready for anything.
00:44:05These athletes, in some cases, were ready.
00:44:09But everything, like we say each week,
00:44:11is a learning experience here on LFG.
00:44:14Well, how did they adjust to the lights going down in the PC?
00:44:18How about the turnbuckle coming loose earlier?
00:44:20How about the minutes added to the match?
00:44:22Who emerged as the best female and best male?
00:44:24We're about to find out.
00:44:29All right, guys.
00:44:30So we just experienced a power outage during your match.
00:44:33Historically, this stuff happens.
00:44:35Happened at RAW.
00:44:35It's happened at PLEs.
00:44:37Even happened during my first live event.
00:44:39The sound system went out.
00:44:40Taker, I believe this happened to you during a PLE, did it not?
00:44:44Yeah, it did.
00:44:45It did a lightning strike.
00:44:46It hit the building.
00:44:48We lost a considerable amount of lights.
00:44:50We lost our feed trying to work and keep the people locked in
00:44:55while they were trying to figure it out.
00:44:57Yeah, it happens.
00:45:00This probably is the scenario that would happen
00:45:02the most in this day and age, I think.
00:45:05Bubba Ray, how do you think they did working through the issues?
00:45:08I was looking forward to this match, and I enjoyed the match.
00:45:12I thought everybody took a step forward.
00:45:15I thought you all shined.
00:45:17Penina, you did a very good job.
00:45:19Zina, you continue to shock the world.
00:45:23And I will defend you until the end of this competition.
00:45:27Shiloh, great fire, intensity.
00:45:31I felt it.
00:45:32First off, Penina, you can't catch a break.
00:45:35This was by far your best night here, and it was in the dark.
00:45:40We saw enough, though.
00:45:41No, congratulations, Kabushka.
00:45:42You really stepped up.
00:45:43Everybody stepped up, but I wanted to make that.
00:45:46I wanted to acknowledge that.
00:45:47The lights went out at such a random time.
00:45:51We were all confused.
00:45:52We still got to the finish and executed.
00:45:54It just was very weird, because we were doing it in the dark.
00:45:59Nikki James?
00:46:00Yeah.
00:46:01I mean, to add on to that, it was very difficult.
00:46:03How did you guys feel out there when the lights and everything
00:46:05was going nuts?
00:46:06It made it fun.
00:46:06I was just shocked.
00:46:07Yeah.
00:46:08You guys still kept rocking and rolling.
00:46:10That was kind of my whole thing.
00:46:12Zena, you impressed me just from a perspective to where you know how to get yourself over,
00:46:17but then in this match, your task was to be able to get Penina over at the same time.
00:46:23That's what the true worker is.
00:46:25And then Penina, I mean, I've been waiting on this moment.
00:46:30I've been waiting on this moment for you to, you know, find something in yourself to put yourself
00:46:35on track to get you where you need to be.
00:46:39Chris, why the hell are you in there stomping somebody?
00:46:43You don't do that well, all right?
00:46:44Until you do that well, don't ever do it ever again, all right?
00:46:49You do that for me.
00:46:50Other than that, you guys did an awesome job.
00:46:53All you guys did a great job.
00:46:54All right.
00:46:55Thank you, Legends.
00:46:56Thank you guys.
00:46:56Great match.
00:46:57Thanks, guys.
00:47:02The answer to what Booker said isn't not to ever do stomps.
00:47:06It's to go spend the next week doing 1,000 stomps, so the next time somebody asks me to do them,
00:47:11they're perfect.
00:47:12Yeah, I got to confess on that one, though.
00:47:13I talked to them to do stomps.
00:47:15That was my bad.
00:47:15He said he wasn't sure about them.
00:47:17I said, hey, bro, you can't mess them up.
00:47:19You're going to do great.
00:47:20That's on me, man.
00:47:21I'm so good, bro.
00:47:21Yeah.
00:47:23Respect.
00:47:23That's a good worker right there.
00:47:27Been waiting for a day, like, where I just get good feedback back.
00:47:29Um, feels good.
00:47:32Feels good.
00:47:32Yeah.
00:47:34I'm so freaking happy.
00:47:36That was just probably one of my favorite matches of the whole show so far.
00:47:40All smiles after the mixed tag.
00:47:42And up next on LFG, the legends will award the points for the day.
00:47:46Then it's BJ Ray versus Cutler James.
00:47:50Only one man can stay.
00:47:52The other goes home.
00:47:58After overcoming the day's various obstacles,
00:48:01the future greats eagerly await the legends decision.
00:48:04All right, legends, it's time to vote.
00:48:07I'm going to start with you, Booker T.
00:48:10Oh, I'm going to make this quick and simple.
00:48:13The one guy that stood out is going to be Shiloh.
00:48:18For the women, by a smidgen,
00:48:21Penina.
00:48:22Um, I'm going to have to go with Shiloh for the guys.
00:48:29And for the girls, although I thought this was your best performance, Penina,
00:48:32I feel like it had a lot to do with Xena as well.
00:48:36You guys have really great chemistry and she brought a new era of con.
00:48:41I don't know if you were more confident in there or just you two looked great together
00:48:45and had good energy together.
00:48:47But I'm going to go with Xena.
00:48:49Start with the girls. Wow.
00:48:51Again, by far, by far your best day.
00:48:56And something you need to be proud of and grow with.
00:48:59Because I saw a lot of growth out of you today.
00:49:01It's honestly a coin toss.
00:49:04I'm going to give it to Xena.
00:49:05Shiloh gets the point for the guys.
00:49:09I thought that Shiloh was the definitive standout man today.
00:49:14Just my opinion though.
00:49:15So, Shiloh, I really enjoyed your intensity today.
00:49:19I loved your shoulder tackles in the corner.
00:49:21There were so many little things that I've seen you improve on and you earned the point.
00:49:25So, great job. Great job.
00:49:28Penina, every single legend up here saw the same exact thing from you today.
00:49:35Including myself.
00:49:36All the words that they used, I feel the same way.
00:49:40So, when you leave here today, I want you to feel confident that you took a definitive step forward
00:49:47in all of our eyes.
00:49:49Xena, you continue to blow everybody away every single week.
00:49:53And you told me off camera that the opening of today's match,
00:49:59you were inspired by watching old matches of luchadors.
00:50:05That screams commitment to me and professionalism.
00:50:09Great job by everybody.
00:50:11But the three of you, thumbs up.
00:50:13All right, the legends have spoken.
00:50:15The point for females today, Xena Sterling.
00:50:19And unanimously for the men is Shiloh Hill.
00:50:23Starting the show as probably the most doubted superstar that's competing in this competition,
00:50:35It's a lot more rewarding and just a lot more meaningful that I have been able to score all the points for Team Bubba so far.
00:50:44And just kind of helping my team make it on the leaderboard and potentially end up winning this competition.
00:50:50Should I have voted for Chris, my guy?
00:50:55I could see his heart breaking as I said Shiloh, but it doesn't do them any good to lie to them.
00:51:03But Shiloh was the better man.
00:51:05Shiloh was the better performer that night.
00:51:07Shiloh has an incredible range of he can be this guy one second and then he can turn into a beast in the next.
00:51:18And that is something that stands out when he's in the ring.
00:51:24With today's points awarded, Team Undertaker sits atop the standings with seven points,
00:51:29while Team Bubba pulls up into a tie with Team Mickey at three points apiece.
00:51:34It is now time for our main event, but that's not all.
00:51:38Someone is going home today.
00:51:41Loser leave town.
00:51:43Loser leaves town.
00:51:44I knew Cutler's time was coming.
00:51:49And quite frankly, I don't even know why there's a loser's go-home match,
00:51:54because the loser already went home when he rage quit and walked out of the building mid-match.
00:51:59That should have been the loser went home.
00:52:02BJ has been a pain in my butt for so many years, since college.
00:52:06And he just weasels his way into all these opportunities that he does not deserve.
00:52:11I mean, they might as well bring me back season two for this thing as one of the legends on the table.
00:52:14Because it's just bound to happen.
00:52:16I'm already a legend.
00:52:17I'm already a hall of famer.
00:52:18I'm already the champ.
00:52:18They just don't know it yet.
00:52:19I know it.
00:52:21It's a load of bull , but eventually that's going to catch up to you.
00:52:24And I'm looking forward to being the one that sends him packing.
00:52:27The following contest is scheduled for, here we go, here we go.
00:52:41Introducing first, Cutler James.
00:52:46Welcome in ringside, big choice alongside Jeremy Borash and Jeremy.
00:52:50This is the match that we really have been waiting for.
00:52:54And a history that goes back many, many years to Duke University.
00:52:58Tonight they will settle it.
00:53:00Loser leaves LFG.
00:53:02Yes, sir.
00:53:04Hey.
00:53:05I still don't feel anything.
00:53:07Uh-huh.
00:53:07Honestly, no.
00:53:08They're going through this again because the first one was awful.
00:53:12Yeah.
00:53:13Maybe they're going to try and perfect all of them.
00:53:15They're all trying to get up in this place.
00:53:19And his opponent, BJ Ray.
00:53:25Well, this is a man who certainly knows, I don't say this lightly, and I don't even
00:53:31mean to laugh, but he certainly knows how to talk his way into trouble.
00:53:35That's why I'm all right.
00:53:37That's why I'm all right.
00:53:39I'm sounding on a trap.
00:53:41Yeah, they teach you.
00:53:42Well, look at how far we've come with BJ Ray along this journey.
00:53:49Pissing out Bubba Ray.
00:53:50Pissing out The Undertaker.
00:53:52And he has a chance to eliminate a fellow team member, Cutler James,
00:53:56in this Loser Leaves LFG match.
00:54:03Well, here you see some of that amateur background coming into effect.
00:54:06And I want to throw this out there to you, JB, because you talk about Duke
00:54:09University vicious takedown, quick kick out.
00:54:12BJ Ray actually lost to James in college.
00:54:16Shoulders down one more time and just able to kick out.
00:54:18This is not a friendly rivalry that we have seen throughout the course of this program between
00:54:24some.
00:54:25Don't let him up.
00:54:25Wait, why were you turning to?
00:54:27That was over.
00:54:27Oh!
00:54:28Oh!
00:54:29Uh-oh.
00:54:29That was tight.
00:54:30That was a shoot.
00:54:31That was there.
00:54:31That was a shoot.
00:54:32Trying a different approach.
00:54:33We saw some amateur wrestling at the beginning for Cutler to get the advantage.
00:54:36And now BJ Ray with a takedown of his own.
00:54:39Floating into a cover.
00:54:40Another kick out.
00:54:41BJ Ray, Cutler James, one of them will leave LFG on this program.
00:54:46It's up to Bubba Ray.
00:54:48And of course, I'm influenced by our legends as well.
00:54:50And these two are fighting for their careers right now and not holding back.
00:54:55And we need to remember that it was James who walked out on his opponent in a tag team
00:55:00matchup.
00:55:01And it takes a lot to anger somebody like James.
00:55:03But it was Ray who seemed to be hogging the spotlight.
00:55:06Well, was it justified?
00:55:08And you can make arguments either way.
00:55:10You know what?
00:55:10I say, get rid of them.
00:55:12Get rid of both of them.
00:55:13Give them two weeks off.
00:55:14Give them both?
00:55:16Take two weeks off and don't come back.
00:55:20But at the end of the day, this decision made by Bubba Ray tonight
00:55:24will alter the course of these careers.
00:55:26Let's go BJ, DJ, DJ, DJ, DJ, DJ, DJ, DJ.
00:55:33You can feel the energy from the universe here tonight.
00:55:36We've touched on it.
00:55:37Cutler James was able to get into LFG, took the spot because of an injury to Ray,
00:55:42who then was able to get medically cleared to return to competition.
00:55:46It's also been Ray who was asked his opinion, if you remember, by Bubba Ray weeks ago.
00:55:50And Ray, to kind of paraphrase for a second, didn't see much in Cutler James.
00:55:56You see that knee coming down right on the face of Cutler.
00:55:58These two are working a very stiff style tonight.
00:56:01Somebody do something, please.
00:56:10Listen, I washed my hands with both of these guys.
00:56:12I mean, come on here, let's give it up.
00:56:16Well, you're certainly seeing a different side of BJ Ray.
00:56:18A more focused attack on the offense and Cutler James delivering an elbow there.
00:56:23BJ Ray has certainly done a lot of talking, as has Cutler James.
00:56:27Now it's time to put up or shut up.
00:56:29One man will leave LFG following this match.
00:56:32You start to wonder about the legend, Bubba Ray, whom he would really want on his team.
00:56:39Who he actually would pick if both these men were standing there looking at him.
00:56:42I think we have an idea of who he would select as Cutler now.
00:56:47Big hip toss.
00:56:48Big body slam.
00:56:49Into the cover.
00:56:51Look at the unique cover by James.
00:56:53And that was actually quite smart.
00:56:55Put all the pressure on Ray's shoulders.
00:56:57And then Ray just picking the ankle.
00:56:58Well, we've seen the ankle and the takedowns.
00:56:59And certainly very focused on their efforts here.
00:57:02BJ Ray and Cutler James.
00:57:03Whoa!
00:57:04Big back body drop.
00:57:07And so much upside for both of these individuals.
00:57:10The question is, who does Bubba Ray see a brighter future with on his team as we head
00:57:15into the LFG playoffs?
00:57:16BJ Ray!
00:57:18BJ Ray!
00:57:19Oh, just trying to hold on is Ray.
00:57:21Obviously you see James with the obvious size advantage.
00:57:25And now look at this aggression.
00:57:27And I will say this about Ray.
00:57:28He certainly knows how to get under your skin.
00:57:30We've seen James get angry in the past when he walked out on Ray in that tag team matchup.
00:57:34If he goes too far here tonight, the referee's already in monastery.
00:57:37And he could get disqualified, which would not be very good.
00:57:41No, but we've seen the focus.
00:57:42And we've seen the intensity from both of these individuals.
00:57:44Cover!
00:57:45Wow!
00:57:46And oh!
00:57:47Ray got him!
00:57:51Here is your winner, BJ Ray!
00:57:55What do you do?
00:57:59I expected so much more out of BJ because he just talks so much mess.
00:58:03I think that's the big problem.
00:58:05Like you think he's further along because of all this crap that he talks.
00:58:09And his arrogant attitude, you think he's more skilled than he is.
00:58:13But normally if you talk that much, you can actually go a little bit.
00:58:17And sending them to both of them home is the smart thing to do?
00:58:21And so be it.
00:58:22You won't ask the grandmas.
00:58:24Who will remain on the team?
00:58:26We are about to find out.
00:58:28You're on LFG.
00:58:38Stop right there.
00:58:39I want you to both understand something.
00:58:42At the end of the day, this is my decision and my decision only.
00:58:46You started.
00:58:47You got hurt.
00:58:48I needed to replace you.
00:58:49I replaced you with you.
00:58:51You started off good and then you started to tail off.
00:58:54You had every opportunity to impress me and to impress them.
00:58:59Now one of you is going home.
00:59:01So I want to hear what they have to say.
00:59:03Look.
00:59:05BJ Ray, you talk a really, really good game, man.
00:59:08But one thing about this business, you got to be able to back it up.
00:59:11And thus far, you haven't done that.
00:59:13So if it was my vote, I would vote BJ Ray as well as I'm out.
00:59:20All of you.
00:59:21Thanks, buddy.
00:59:22Wow.
00:59:23Vicky?
00:59:24It's a shame, you know, BJ, because I actually was pulling for you at the beginning.
00:59:27Because you are charismatic and you talk really, really well.
00:59:32And when I'd say that was your weakness, your biggest weakness is your personality.
00:59:36But he has way more respect.
00:59:39He looks great.
00:59:40And I would say go with Cutler.
00:59:43All right.
00:59:45Thank you.
00:59:47Boss?
00:59:50You got a tough decision, man.
00:59:53I mean, I don't know what the stakes have to be
00:59:56for you guys to bring some fire and emotion.
01:00:00And after all the that you guys have just caused, all the you talk,
01:00:06not to walk the walk, it's disappointing.
01:00:08There's potential there.
01:00:13I don't know, man.
01:00:19I don't know.
01:00:19Good luck.
01:00:20But if you guys came to my wrestling school, at this stage of the game, I would have handed
01:00:29you your money back.
01:00:31I would have handed you your money back.
01:00:32I know I told you to both go home.
01:00:35You?
01:00:36You're just a headache and a problem.
01:00:40A headache and a problem and an issue.
01:00:42And wherever you go, there's something to be said.
01:00:46And it's always the same story.
01:00:47Oh, BJ, he's got so much personality.
01:00:50He's this.
01:00:50He's this.
01:00:51Yeah, but.
01:00:52Yeah, but.
01:00:53Yeah, but.
01:00:57If there's one thing I learned about the professional wrestling and sports entertainment business
01:01:05is that entertainment trumps wrestling.
01:01:09B.J.
01:01:14Yes, coach.
01:01:15You stay.
01:01:17Cutler, I'm going to say something to you that I hope you never hear for the rest of your career.
01:01:26Best of luck in your future endeavors.
01:01:28Why is the smirk gone?
01:01:40I'm sorry for this around.
01:01:46I don't buy the sorry from you.
01:01:49I think you're finally starting to realize how serious this really is.
01:01:55And you came that close.
01:01:57Because Booker, Nicky, and Taker, despite what they might have said in front of you,
01:02:05told me that the both of you should go.
01:02:09And that you're not worth the time.
01:02:11You're not worth the investment.
01:02:13But you're the maverick.
01:02:15You're the Tom Cruise.
01:02:17You're the one that I had to give the spot to.
01:02:20Because there's something there.
01:02:22I don't know what it is, but it's that something, that it factor.
01:02:29That no matter how much of a up you are,
01:02:32there's still something there.
01:02:35And there's been a lot of screw-ups in this business.
01:02:39You've made it to the top.
01:02:40You sink or you swim on your own.
01:02:45Or I will hold the door open while the rest of them kick you out.
01:02:51I'm done.
01:03:02I guess from this point on forward, I'm literally just gonna get my point across,
01:03:07get the BJ across in a different way.
01:03:08I think I'm just gonna be so mouth shut, so ears wide open,
01:03:13that they're gonna say, I hate you, BJ.
01:03:18I think, oh, yes, coach.
01:03:20Yes, coach.
01:03:20Whatever you want, coach.
01:03:22So I think that's the way from this point on forward, win this competition.
01:03:25Say, Bubba, where my hug at?
01:03:26It was never that personal, bro.
01:03:27It was never that deep.
01:03:28Let's go smoke a cigar.
01:03:30Type of .
01:03:34Got to do some digging.
01:03:38Figure out my path to the top.
01:03:40But I got to do something different.
01:03:45And, uh, it's gonna be big.
01:03:47Whatever I do.
