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

00:10:59Ralph Hughes, Guilty or Innocent.
00:11:00New episodes, Thursday at 9.
00:11:02Part of Crime and Investigation on A&E.
00:11:04Watch next day on the A&E app.
00:11:07The action continuing here on LFG.
00:11:16And his opponent, from Ghost Town New Hampshire, weighing at 240 pounds,
00:11:23Bruxy Cole.
00:11:25I didn't necessarily get to see all of the cover, but it looks like he's trying to learn
00:11:29that being Braxton how to counter judo, which certainly would help him in this matchup.
00:11:34But isn't that something he should have been looking into a couple of weeks ago?
00:11:37Well, I think if you know Braxton, he's always studying 24-7.
00:11:40The man always has the book with him.
00:11:41He's always reading up on the latest facts that he can apply to what he does in the ring.
00:11:46And when the bell rings, this is a great athlete that's developing right before our very own eyes.
00:11:51He's also somebody who is easy to naturally dislike.
00:11:57You would know about that?
00:11:58Smugness.
00:11:58I mean, yes.
00:11:59But again, I'm not the size of this man.
00:12:02I don't walk around like this man does.
00:12:04He thinks he's better than everybody.
00:12:05There's a hint of arrogance surrounding him.
00:12:08And I don't mean the spray.
00:12:09I do think that when you have an opponent like Shady, you got to go in with all guns blazing
00:12:15because Shady has a very different approach.
00:12:17You talk about polar opposites in terms of personality.
00:12:19We're going to see that on display here.
00:12:21Braxton Cole, arrogant, cocky, no doubt about it.
00:12:24Whereas Shady kind of brings a cool, calm, and collected presentation to his in-ring performance.
00:12:31Well, you see those here watching live action and they're getting right under the skin of Braxton just a little
00:12:37bit.
00:12:38But when it comes to Shady, you see he's stepping into the ring.
00:12:40He does seem to be, I would say, at peace for a moment with himself as a quick submission.
00:12:47Braxton getting right into the bottom rope and might be not really knowing the whereabouts of where you're at in
00:12:53the ring.
00:12:53Obviously, there's a different style, a different setting than Shady is used to.
00:12:57Once again, Braxton going to the outside to those here among the WWE Universe who might be going right back
00:13:02to study in a little bit.
00:13:04Look at his body language. It's just not there. It's just moving around.
00:13:08It's kind of standing around.
00:13:09Yeah, it's not real.
00:13:11And you can hear the instant reactions from the legends in the back.
00:13:15Booker T keeping his eye on this match-up and starting to question some of the antics of these two
00:13:21in the ring.
00:13:22And that's why I go back to saying when it comes to Shady, he just looks calm.
00:13:25That he's just out there ready to fight, ready for anything to happen.
00:13:29Not as stiff, maybe I should put it, as Braxton.
00:13:31Well, Braxton pretty much comes in with a great athletic background.
00:13:35There's no question about it.
00:13:36Shady a little bit different of a background where he was brought up, obviously.
00:13:39All the way up to here at the Performance Center where he's implemented his style, his knowledge, as you can
00:13:45see here.
00:13:46Going right back into another submission for the second time.
00:13:47Trying to get that arm bar, shift and weight, shoulders down.
00:13:50And a quick kick out right back up and right back down with another toss.
00:13:55This is everything Braxton apparently was studying to try to counter.
00:13:58Just gets hoisted up in a big body slam.
00:14:02Cover, quick hook of a leg, and a kick out.
00:14:05Well, there's certainly a lot of studying going on, but...
00:14:07Those Juno-style arm drags look pretty good.
00:14:10Oh, they look good, good.
00:14:11No lessons could be learned like while it happens in the ring.
00:14:16This is going to be a hard lesson maybe for Shady on the outside here with Braxton.
00:14:20Braxton feeling the effects early on with the left elbow, the left shoulder, trying to rub some feeling into it.
00:14:27Someone who we've seen here on LFG has seen him around the Performance Center very easily.
00:14:32One that likes to speak his mind, does not care about ramifications for his actions.
00:14:38Doesn't really care what others think about him and is not afraid to cut a corn.
00:14:42Yeah, this is second match we're seeing for Shady in LFG competition here.
00:14:48First one we saw against Anthony.
00:14:50Did well, but now it's going to be an opportunity for him to show what he's all about.
00:14:54And he needs to show Shawn Michaels that.
00:14:56Right now he's showing that he can take a beating.
00:14:58Cover.
00:14:59And another kick out.
00:15:00And again, when it comes to Shawn Michaels, it comes to head coach of the Performance Center, Matt Bloom.
00:15:06They're all watching this very closely.
00:15:08They all dissect every little thing.
00:15:09And you know that, JB.
00:15:11Even from the way someone just walks through the curtains, the way they get in the ring,
00:15:15to the way if something goes awry, how they handle themselves.
00:15:18Well, certainly you got to expect the unexpected to be ready for anything.
00:15:22And that's part of the development.
00:15:23That's part of what we're seeing every week here on LFG is that development in action.
00:15:27courtesy of our legends.
00:15:29And if you go back to the debut this year, this season of Season 3 of LFG,
00:15:35a life and a career can change in a matter of a moment.
00:15:39And perhaps this match can change.
00:15:40Right here is Shady.
00:15:42Took a little too much time.
00:15:49Paul executing that neck breaker.
00:15:51A little hangman style.
00:15:52Is this going to be enough?
00:15:53Into the cover.
00:15:54And that right shoulder coming off the mat.
00:15:56We saw so much great advice from Booker T in this episode from Braxton Cole.
00:15:59What do you think Booker brings to the table as a legend, as a coach, as a mentor,
00:16:03as somebody who's spent more time with Booker than anybody around him?
00:16:05Well, JB, look.
00:16:06When it comes to Booker T, when he preaches something, when he speaks, you want to listen.
00:16:10He is a man who has done more in this business than a lot will ever get a chance to
00:16:14say that they've done.
00:16:15Look how long he's been around.
00:16:16So you talk about longevity.
00:16:18Take a look at all the premier matches he's had.
00:16:20at WrestleMania main events, even all the championships he's won, six world titles.
00:16:24He says something to you.
00:16:26You should write it down.
00:16:27You should take it home.
00:16:28And you should study it.
00:16:29And hopefully, that's what everyone is doing here on Legends and Future Greats.
00:16:37And this, I think, would be big for Shady.
00:16:40If he's able to get a win, if he's able to pick up some momentum.
00:16:43Great combination there from Shady and certainly in the driver's seat for this one.
00:16:48Oh, wow, unique.
00:16:50Not able to get it done.
00:16:52Didn't know about the worst of the counter on that, but it was a nice takedown by Shady.
00:16:56Braxton right now seems to be on Dream Street and going for the third time.
00:17:00Will it be the charm trying to get that submission locked in?
00:17:03Arm is extended, JB.
00:17:05This could do it.
00:17:06And look at the positioning.
00:17:07Braxton far away from that bottom rope.
00:17:10Is Cole going to tap?
00:17:13Shift and wait for a moment.
00:17:14Had to kick out, relinquish the hold to continue this match.
00:17:17Back up and, oh!
00:17:20Throat first goes Shady.
00:17:22Turns right around.
00:17:23And for Braxton Cole.
00:17:26High impact offense, center of the ring.
00:17:29Cole victorious.
00:17:32Here is your winner, Braxton Cole!
00:17:37Shady lacked a little, uh, intense and intensity, I think.
00:17:42The future greats will hear from the coaches when we come back.
00:17:48In Seattle, we had already dealt with Ted Bundy.
00:17:50Now we have a second serial killer.
00:17:52Almost two dozen young women dead, the victims of the Green River Killer.
00:17:56There are no clues, no motives.
00:17:59It's like finding a needle in a haystack.
00:18:03In my opinion, this is the guy who's killing his whole home.
00:18:06It's an obsession.
00:18:08We're all going to keep that up.
00:18:09You feel your attention?
00:18:11Ted Bundy Dialogue with the Devil premieres Thursday, September 3rd.
00:18:15Part of Crime and Investigation, only on A&E.
00:18:18This is Zach.
00:18:19He's a social media influencer.
00:18:22There's a lot young homeowners don't understand about the internet.
00:18:26People just watch you watching videos?
00:18:28Yeah, it's a reaction video.
00:18:29You must be good at reacting to videos.
00:18:32Yeah.
00:18:32What are you doing there?
00:18:33Oh, this is me trying on hats.
00:18:35So you sell hats?
00:18:36Uh, no.
00:18:37So you work for the thrift store?
00:18:38I was just trying them on, film myself.
00:18:40Why'd you do that?

00:19:18This little light of mine
00:19:21Has been dark for quite some time
00:19:25Then I let in the light to help see
00:19:28More of the light inside of me
00:19:32I needed more from my antidepressant.
00:19:34So my doctor added Kaplyta.
00:19:36Proven to provide greater relief from depression symptoms than an antidepressant alone.
00:19:40Building on my progress without starting over.
00:19:43Weight gain and reported sexual side effects were not common.
00:19:46Elderly dementia patients have increased risk of death or stroke.
00:19:49Kaplyta is not approved for dementia-related psychosis.
00:19:51Call your doctor about new or sudden mood changes, behaviors, or suicidal thoughts right away.
00:19:55Antidepressants may increase these risks.
00:19:57Report fever, confusion, stiff muscles, which may be life-threatening, or uncontrolled muscle movements, which may be permanent.
00:20:03High cholesterol and weight gain may occur, as can high blood sugar, which may be fatal.
00:20:06Common side effects are sleepiness, dizziness, nausea, dry mouth, feeling tired, and diarrhea.
00:20:10These aren't all the side effects.
00:20:11Ask your doctor about Kaplyta.
00:20:13Help see more of the light inside of me

00:21:43Okay, how'd you feel?
00:21:44How'd you guys feel about it?
00:21:45Uh, I could have done my way cleaner if I was like.
00:21:49Well, I thought your intensity could have been up a little bit.
00:21:51Yeah, urgency.
00:21:52Urgency.
00:21:53Just like when he rolled out of the ring that one time.
00:22:00I need your action to go get him.
00:22:02Referee push you back.
00:22:04Did you give me this?
00:22:05No.
00:22:05But I need your aggression first.
00:22:08And then...
00:22:08The thing Coach Booker told me was just a little bit more urgency when I'm hitting my comeback
00:22:13or when I'm in the ring.
00:22:14I have to think to have the mentality in judo.
00:22:17If I'm down a point and there's 30 seconds on the clock, what would I do?
00:22:20So I kind of need to bring that into pro wrestling.
00:22:24It felt like we had the crowd.
00:22:25Y'all, no, no.
00:22:26Y'all had him.
00:22:27Y'all did everything I asked you to do, but I just need you to...
00:22:30More.
00:22:30I need more.
00:22:31Yes, sir.
00:22:31You know what I mean?
00:22:32Given where we're at, how long we've been here, I thought it was my best rep, personally,
00:22:37on my end.
00:22:38It was more when I talked to, like, Coach Bloom, he kind of dug in a little bit more.
00:22:43Nice job.
00:22:44Nice job.
00:22:44You're stringing something together right now that I can sink my teeth into.
00:22:46I like it.
00:22:47I can feel it.
00:22:48Hey, have some fun with that wiener chant.
00:22:55Wiener!
00:22:57I want you to feel comfortable enough to try something that might be out.
00:23:00Like, you roll out of the ring and you walk.
00:23:02I don't know what you do.
00:23:03So, like, yeah, you can just block your ears and walk around and say, no, no, no.
00:23:06Or you can try whatever pops into your head.
00:23:10Wiener!
00:23:11Wiener!
00:23:11Wiener!
00:23:11But if you don't take a chance, we're never going to know how far you can push it.
00:23:15Yes.
00:23:15If there's any place that it's okay to feel...
00:23:17It's right here.
00:23:18You know what I mean?
00:23:19It's okay.
00:23:20Let's see what else I got here.
00:23:22Your face is down a lot in your cell, man.
00:23:26You're pretty.
00:23:27Let them see that you're in trouble and pretty.
00:23:28All right?
00:23:30Yeah.
00:23:30But I can't tell you're pretty.
00:23:31All I can tell is that you're balding when you're looking down.
00:23:34Not that bad.
00:23:36It's a solid match.
00:23:37I thought this was a really good, actually, LFG.
00:23:38One of the better ones I've seen.
00:23:39So, nice job, man.
00:23:41So, we're at Brax.
00:23:42Nice job, man.
00:23:42Thank you, sir.
00:23:42Nice job.
00:23:44First of all, Coach Boom said I had a bald spot.
00:23:46That's not real.
00:23:47That's not true.
00:23:49But it's always good to hear positive feedback because good feedback makes me motivated.
00:23:54And, of course, hearing negative feedback will still make me motivated to get better.
00:23:56But I feel like I'm spreading my wings now.
00:23:59And this is just the beginning.
00:24:06All right, boys.
00:24:07Want to talk about it?
00:24:09Today I'm working with Malik Blade and Chris Island.
00:24:11and my first time working with either of them.
00:24:13But I'm looking forward to it.
00:24:14They're kind of looking for the same from both of you guys in a way that there's just
00:24:17tell the audience more who you are, what you're about.
00:24:20Which I think they're waiting to see something from both of you guys that makes them go,
00:24:24oh, there it is.
00:24:26And it seems like they maybe haven't seen that yet.
00:24:28You want people to, if they tune in and they see you within 30 seconds,
00:24:33you want them to have a pretty good idea of who they're watching and what you're about.
00:24:36You can do a lot of really athletic ,
00:24:38but a lot of guys can do a lot of athletic .
00:24:40So you have to kind of find something else to set you apart from those guys.
00:24:45You know what I mean?
00:24:46You know, you get Booker, you get Bubba.
00:24:48All these people have the knowledge and they've been here for so long.
00:24:51And then you have somebody like K.O. who is current to give you what main roster wants
00:24:56and how, you know, we can implement some of the stuff that coaches here are telling us to do,
00:25:00but also implement what he is literally actively doing.
00:25:03Hey, Chris, also one thing is that you wrestle in jeans,
00:25:06but you have the amateur wrestling background.
00:25:08So, you know, like the fact that you're in jeans kind of inspires more of a
00:25:13you know, gritty, you know what I mean?
00:25:15You look like a street fighter and you're able to be nitty gritty,
00:25:17but also you're a great amateur wrestler.
00:25:20It's like you're trying to check too many boxes.
00:25:23You know what I mean?
00:25:24If we're being real, there was a conversation about my singlet.
00:25:27There was a conversation about my karate pants.
00:25:30Now there's a conversation about my jeans.
00:25:32If I keep trying to do what everyone else is trying to tell me to do,
00:25:36I'll never actually show myself to the world.
00:25:39Keep it in mind. I don't know.
00:25:41Maybe I'm doing more harm than good. I don't know.
00:25:42Thank you.
00:25:43I'll be around.
00:25:44I appreciate that.
00:25:45I know who I am.
00:25:46I know how I look.
00:25:47I know how I want to move.
00:25:48I know how I want to talk.
00:25:49There's no more time for Chris Island figuring it out.
00:25:52Chris Island getting it together.
00:25:55It's time for Chris Island to settle in.
00:25:59Yeah.
00:26:00Be safe.
00:26:01You're a good one.
00:26:02Please be safe, guys.
00:26:03Okay?
00:26:03More importantly than anything.
00:26:05This is life.
00:26:06We put a lot of sway to tears in this.
00:26:12The following contest is scheduled for one ball.
00:26:16Introducing first, Rick Vacaville, California.
00:26:19Wanging at 240 pounds, Chris Island.

00:26:44Yes!
00:26:45It's not just clean.
00:26:46It's Mr. Clean.
00:26:47Since the dawn of time, man has been plagued by itch and irritation from not wiping clean.
00:26:51What man didn't realize is that wetter cleans better.
00:26:55See how wet dude wipes completely clears while dry teepee smears?
00:26:58Ditch the itch and switch to wet extra large dude wipes for the best clean.
00:27:01Pants down.

00:29:17Let's be honest.
00:29:18Painting can be a pain.
00:29:20This doesn't look good.
00:29:21How much do we spend at that paint store?
00:29:23Way too much.
00:29:25That's why we made Bear Dynasty.

00:29:52You better come out now!
00:29:53Hey!
00:29:54He's in the bottle!
00:29:55Please!
00:29:55Put your hands up!
00:29:56He needs to tell us what we need to know.
00:29:58I gotta prove our innocence.
00:30:00That's when I fired the shot.
00:30:01I just wanna be with my family.
00:30:03It's a living hell.
00:30:04We've gotta make custody.
00:30:06All rise for the jury.

00:30:20We are back on LFG.
00:30:27And his opponent, from Orlando, Florida, weighing at 200 pounds, Malik Blade!
00:30:38Well, from Malik Blade, we've seen him in tag teams in the past.
00:30:41It seems that he's finally taken upon himself to shine on his own.
00:30:46He certainly has.
00:30:47And one thing that we've seen is, you know, obviously an experience factor that's been great for Malik Blade.
00:30:51Now it's just a matter of, can he do the right thing?
00:30:54Can he catch the eye of the heartbreak kid Shawn Michaels?
00:30:57That's what this is all about and earn that spot on NXT.
00:31:01Now you can take a look at these two as they get ready to lock up here as LFG's been
00:31:05rolling on.
00:31:05What a way to start things.
00:31:07Huge main events still to come.
00:31:08Our women take center stage.
00:31:09Looking forward to that.
00:31:10But when this comes to this matchup specifically and these two, there's a...
00:31:15I don't know if you feel it.
00:31:16There seems to be a little tension in the air.
00:31:19Some would say these two could be on the bubble.
00:31:21Well, certainly what we've seen is progression.
00:31:24The question is, has it been enough progression over the course of time?
00:31:27Have we seen enough development that Shawn Michaels, the heartbreak kid, wants to put stock and bat on these two
00:31:33carrying NXT?
00:31:34Ooh.
00:31:36Now Malik, obviously, so much physical ability in the ring.
00:31:41Chris Island just, when it gets time to step it in the ring.
00:31:46One second.
00:31:46Up, over.
00:31:47Dear Paul, didn't mean to cut you off there, JV.
00:31:49He just tends to fall short a little bit sometimes when it's showtime.
00:31:52That's the thing.
00:31:53How we looking, man?
00:31:54So far so good.
00:31:55How we looking.
00:31:57Talk about tension, too.
00:31:59I mean, it's got to be a little uneasy for these two athletes to step through the curtain, get into
00:32:03the ring.
00:32:03Not only with the peers that are here, but also those three individuals you see that are looking on.
00:32:08And you know, you know better than I do.
00:32:11Those three aren't going to hold back their feelings.
00:32:14If it's bad, it's bad.
00:32:15If it's good, it's good.
00:32:16They are not going to sugarcoat anything.
00:32:18I don't think that the adjective sensitive has ever been in front of the name of Booker T, Bubba Ray
00:32:23Dudley, or of course KO Kevin Owens.
00:32:26But one thing that they are can be brutally honest, which I think is to the advantage of these future
00:32:32greats trying to compete for a spot in action.
00:32:39This is Chris Island holding on here.
00:32:41And a little bit, uh, when we talk about Chris Island, we always talk about the unique ability of what
00:32:45he's wearing as he gets right back up and goes right back down.
00:32:51What is that?
00:32:53He's trying to recreate the, like, amateur wrestling takedown that Chris gave him earlier, but it's not really, uh, wasn't
00:33:02translating very well.
00:33:04Hard to argue with what the legends just said.
00:33:08I always love hearing the insights, the coaching.
00:33:10That's what makes LNG so unique.
00:33:12You get that real time observations from guys that have been there, done that, main evented this, main evented that
00:33:20all over the world.
00:33:20WrestleMania, Summer Slams, list goes on, is just getting tossed.
00:33:25This time was Blade.
00:33:26Right back in comes Chris Island with a massive backbreaker.
00:33:31And this is what you talk about when practice, he can do it all.
00:33:35But can he put it all together?
00:33:37And I think there's a lot underlining of that statement, putting it all together, the look, the feel, the presentation.
00:33:44It certainly is.
00:33:45And when you have a guy like Kevin Owens coaching you, you have to, you know, be specifically aware of
00:33:51what they're saying and implementing it.
00:33:52Obviously, they take this very personally.
00:33:54And they want to see their time, their investment in this talent pay off just as much as the talent
00:33:59themselves.
00:34:00Well, Chris Island now trying to drive the air out of Malik Blade's lung.
00:34:03And what we've seen from Malik Blade in the past is the high-flying ability.
00:34:08But he has been grounded right now.
00:34:10You're free! Malik! You're free! Malik! Malik! You're weak! Malik! You're weak! Malik!
00:34:20Chris Island taking a little twist on the audience chants there.
00:34:23Well, you know what, that's part of maybe playing the mind games here in the WWE ring.
00:34:28There's no energy. Nothing.
00:34:31He's dead. Both of them. Yeah.
00:34:34Malik! You're weak! Malik is trying to sell, but she...
00:34:40Just looks so frickin' just dead. Yeah.
00:34:44No real action.
00:34:47Right back up, big right hand. Malik now.
00:34:50Thought it didn't take too kindly to the things that were being said by Chris Island moments ago.
00:34:53Nice drop kick. Certainly gets up. This is that high-flying ability we're talking about.
00:34:57But again, just like with Chris Island, having to put it all together.
00:35:01Big fisherman suplex.
00:35:03He's fired up, JB.
00:35:05Showing some fire. And one thing I do like, here's a cover.
00:35:09You know, when we get to hear Booker T, when we get to hear Kevin Owens or Bubba make their
00:35:13observations,
00:35:14we get to hear it real-time. You can bet these two are gonna hear it after the match.
00:35:18These two are gonna get every bit of an earful that we're getting, and then some.
00:35:22Oh. Including things they probably can't even say on this show sometimes.
00:35:26Not especially from somebody like Booker T or Bubba.
00:35:29Chris Island, I don't know if you noticed this, JB.
00:35:30Looked out into those that are here watching this matchup.
00:35:34Took his eye off the ball for a moment. Malik getting right back into it.
00:35:37Another drop kick.
00:35:38Great display of athleticism from Malik Blade.
00:35:41He's such a high vertical leap that he's able to use to his advantage.
00:35:45As we just saw, they're taking Chris Island right off the top.
00:35:48Now needs to capitalize on this situation.
00:35:51Look, the top rope isn't home for Chris Island.
00:35:54But it is for Malik Blade.
00:35:56Hits that frog splash and picks up the victory.
00:36:01Here is your winner, Billy Blade!
00:36:06How good it must feel for Malik.
00:36:09But as you said, what is going to be said to these two athletes?
00:36:13Follow this match.
00:36:15We talk to me the roles. First grab picks.
00:36:18Certified.
00:36:18We are charged with capital murder.
00:36:21I don't want to go to prison.
00:36:26I can't even think right now.
00:36:28Accused. Guilty or innocent. New episodes.

00:36:33Tools from Harbor Freight are doing hard work in real garages across America.
00:36:38Like at Niko's automotive shop in Des Plaines, Illinois.
00:36:41Where his Daytona Jack does all the heavy lifting.
00:36:44His Hercules impact wrench makes quick work of tough jobs.
00:36:48And his icon torque wrench keeps every bolt honest.
00:36:51Niko demands affordable tools that don't quit.
00:36:54Because he never quits until the job's done.
00:36:58Harbor Freight. Built for tool people.
00:37:00Like me.
00:37:03Since the dawn of time, man has been plagued by itch and irritation from not wiping clean.
00:37:08What man didn't realize is that wetter cleans better.
00:37:11See how wet dude wipes completely clears while dry teepee smears?
00:37:14Ditch the itch and switch to wet extra large dude wipes for the best clean pants down.
00:37:18Houses can be a lot like lungs.
00:37:20Where they seem to be one thing.
00:37:22Until you take a look inside.
00:37:24Especially if you're living with COPD or asthma.
00:37:28And still have symptoms like a wet cough with mucus that's hard to clear.
00:37:32And infections that keep coming back.
00:37:35For some people like my mom, these symptoms can point to bronchiectasis.
00:37:39A CT scan of your lungs can help you get a deeper look.
00:37:42Talk to a pulmonologist to find out if it's bronchiectasis.

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

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