00:00:20Chris Jericho now, I'm gonna get to put a legendary head on my wall cuz when I beat you
00:00:28Hold on you want to beat the legendary Chris Jericho. I don't think you can do it. Maybe your brother Jay could have

00:00:47Jericho you ain't have to take it there. This ain't a place you want me to be at man
00:00:51I'm gonna hurt you mark Briscoe. You know what the word of the day is. It's humbled
00:00:57You need to be humbled and after 34 years, it's the dawn of a new Chris Jericho
00:01:03I was the ocean now it's time for the new levy
00:01:28This
00:01:30Stick basketball with a 60-minute time limit is for the ring of honor
00:01:37Worldchampionship introducing first being accompanied by the redwood
00:01:45Way to
00:01:48The learning tree Chris Jericho
00:01:53Well for our final two matches of the evening we are joined by none other than the hall-of-fame voice of professional wrestling good old JR
00:02:00Jim Ross they are so great to have him here tonight for this ring of honor
00:02:04What a championship match. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. It's got over. What a beautiful city. Yes
00:02:10Fans are packed. Yes, it's awesome that I've been listening on watch it all night. It's good. It's good to see Nigel again
00:02:18Watch it for the rip watch it for the rabbit out of his hat. Anyway, this is gonna be great
00:02:23Any man who can do that? It is this man in the ring the art show eight-time world champion Jim. Will we see nine tonight?
00:02:32He's a legend and he's also in the number
00:02:40In theaters now
00:02:47And
00:03:07Mark Briscoe in my estimation. It's full of P&V tonight
00:03:11Probably is
00:03:14Jericho minutes very personal and then tell you can make an issue personal
00:03:18It's better for the fans believe it or not sure and it's certainly better for the match
00:03:23And I wouldn't I would go to live to say this is the biggest singles match of Mark Briscoe's career
00:03:29Going to get Chris Jericho
00:03:31So they are a twirl title
00:03:33The title that his late brother Jay held on two occasions certainly Briscoe
00:03:40Defending the title with pride
00:03:43There we go. Yes, I didn't take long did it both men stepping forward Mark Briscoe getting the better of the learning tree Chris Jericho
00:03:50repeated shots in the corner
00:03:52Of course, this is a ring of honor world championship match Nigel means that it is 20 count on the outside
00:03:58The code of honor we just saw was not observed
00:04:09Could be an early win Jericho. Oh, no, Briscoe kicking out
00:04:14But how often do you get to chance for the real honor?
00:04:18Well child on a weekend that your movie is the number one in America. I
00:04:25Could be a first time occurrence here tonight, but Mark Briscoe
00:04:32Let me ask you this Jr. Do you think too much maybe we'll find out the other day
00:04:37That question yeah, I know what he's fighting about he's fighting because of anger because of what Chris go
00:04:43Chris Jericho said about his brother, but the fact is you got to win the
00:04:47retain the world title here, that's the
00:04:50The number one thing. Oh, there's that redneck kung-fu that Mark Briscoe likes to employ
00:04:57And of course a good t-shirt
00:05:00suplex there
00:05:01as
00:05:02Briscoe
00:05:07The right in front of us, which is uneasy
00:05:11Drops the elbow we could feel the flood through our feet here at ringside
00:05:18Johnny Chris Jericho the learning tree
00:05:22felt it
00:05:24Audrey Edwards has got to take over here because this thing's gonna get out of hand
00:05:29Very quickly, but Mark Briscoe longtime ring of honor competitor knows that the 20 count is on the floor
00:05:34He has that internal clock
00:05:37Take advantage of it perhaps more so than Jericho who may be more used to the traditional 10 County W
00:05:48Absolutely brilliant
00:05:54Topic on hero taking out big bill and Chris Jericho on the floor as usual Mark Briscoe throwing caution to the wind
00:06:02And certainly Jericho's strategy of firing up Briscoe
00:06:12Stiff shots right to the face of Chris Jericho flesh-on-flesh the jaw of Jericho being tested
00:06:19By Mark Briscoe who's wrestling the most important
00:06:23singles match of his career
00:06:26God Almighty
00:06:29It's like sitting next to the racetrack and cars are crashing
00:06:33He is going Mark Briscoe is going up against one of the greats
00:06:37He mentioned this at the beginning of all-time and Chris Joker Jericho in a world title match
00:06:44How big is that
00:06:49Big
00:06:50His size 15s right upside the jaw and Jericho. I think he's got Aubrey Edwards head
00:06:56He's not letting her turn around while big bill goes to work
00:07:03Big bill is taking the ring skirt. He's wedged this table against
00:07:14That's what he's doing conglomeration Nigel
00:07:19There is no business being out here
00:07:22Oh, you're right about that, but he is
00:07:27Jerry sent to orange Cassie earlier and orange Cassie's taking this to task. Yeah, three consecutive orange punch. It's a big bill
00:07:36But Jericho taking advantage
00:07:39Of all this distraction. Well, he was temporarily Mark Briscoe now regaining the advantage
00:07:45We've got a lot of Briscoe fans behind us. Oh, yes, sir. Well around the world Jr. They just love this kid
00:07:53He's a very charismatic individual
00:07:57Played a huge factor with his late brother. Oh
00:08:00In the building of ring of honor a company that has spawned so many superstars in this industry
00:08:07These styles are these styles clashing or are they melding together?
00:08:12Well, Chris Jericho, he said that
00:08:15Invoking the name of Jay Briscoe was to gain an advantage
00:08:19On mark to take him off his game
00:08:23So what you succeeded?
00:08:25right
00:08:26Well, I don't know maybe because Mark Briscoe's had most of the advantage, but Jericho just turning the tables as I'm about to say that
00:08:33To your point Jr. Chris Jericho. Oh
00:08:36Known as the greatest sportsman in the world
00:08:39Oh known as the greatest sports entertainer of all time
00:08:45Knows how to cut a corner here or there and that certainly has given him some respite
00:08:51now Chris Jericho certainly has
00:08:54made a
00:08:55Solid name for himself around the world and here in aew as well
00:09:00That without him we put out a new tv deal. So right
00:09:04Right
00:09:08And you know nigel the the thing about the passing of jay briscoe is that
00:09:13it was difficult for so many people obviously for the briscoe family, but
00:09:17Mark, he was the rock for so many people. He was he was the one that was consoling others and he was beloved
00:09:24Mark was below this caliber jay
00:09:28Sorry, but but mark he was he was people were heartbroken and mark was the one consoling them even though his brother passed away
00:09:34Yeah, the resilience of mark briscoe and his faith in god and his religion certainly was admirable to say the least
00:09:43Oh jericho's commandeering the camera there. Well, this is not a good sign for jericho fans because he's already drifted away from the focus
00:09:50to the wrestling match
00:09:52but you know nigel I say all that because
00:09:54This is I think the first time that i've seen mark briscoe since the passing of his brother at least
00:10:00To my observation shaken and it was because of the actions of chris jericho
00:10:04Yeah, again to the point though. We've talked about I think that was jericho's
00:10:10Intention sure because briscoe came out here and yes
00:10:13He's had the majority of the offense for the first half of the match
00:10:16But one would certainly think the second half will now go to chris jericho
00:10:22Well, this is a tough match to officiate
00:10:26the crowd mixed crowd
00:10:28Look at this
00:10:30How much is chris jericho loved?
00:10:32And nigel, I mean for not that much one-time ring of honor aficionados this bordering on a fight without honor
00:10:39Fight without honor and a fight. You never would have imagined certainly
00:10:43Ring of honor was a place that people
00:10:48Jericho realizes early on here that he's got to be especially aggressive tonight against a man who's
00:10:55Was raised on aggression
00:10:57The ring of honor title on the line jericho for the number one movie in america could be adding a ninth title
00:11:06Jericho's collection a former ring of honor world champion himself
00:11:11Looking to regain that title to add that ninth trophy to his mantle
00:11:17As he ascends to the top mark briscoe's progress interrupted and jericho
00:11:21Jericho look at him go up top. Just just
00:11:25We're talking about a guy who's done so much he doesn't need to go up top. He's going to do it
00:11:29Anyway, isn't that admirable tony? Yes, I agree. It's admirable. It's
00:11:35It's also unnecessary
00:11:38my god
00:11:42He's showing out tonight is chris jericho what a competitor tony
00:11:47This win here tonight would put him into another hall of fame somewhere
00:11:52Like mars briscoe though stringing together a series of offensive maneuvers, that's the great thing about briscoe. It's still resilient
00:12:02And even though the words what chris jericho said about jay is ringing in his ears
00:12:07The moment is not lost on mark briscoe what this means
00:12:14Mark briscoe hard shot. He's a striker man
00:12:18And briscoe they're just talking trash to jericho as well saying this is for my brother
00:12:27Holy hell
00:12:30Jericho immediately clutching the side of his head as briscoe fisherman buster that's got to do one
00:12:38Two no jericho able to kick out but not a very powerful kick out not i'm still in control here kick out
00:12:46Yeah, that shot to the face jr really run the bell of jericho tony jericho on the back foot now is briscoe pushing forward
00:12:56Briscoe was looking maybe for the jay driller that double underhook pile driver. Well, here we go could get the line team up
00:13:04Just got to step through
00:13:06Yeah
00:13:09Oh, wow pressure on the lower back what pressure but what presence of mind of jericho jr
00:13:15Mark briscoe is in the dead center of the ring
00:13:18Equidistant from all of the ropes if he wants to force a break great positioning by
00:13:23My briscoe no doubt about that
00:13:26To know where he is
00:13:28But he's looking toward the ropes, which will cause a break and jericho
00:13:33Taking a lot of energy as this as well. That's why he's sitting down here now. There's a lot of pressure on your quads
00:13:40That's I mean that's right now because even though it looks like jericho is sitting down he's still expending a tremendous amount of energy
00:13:48To wrench back on those legs of mark briscoe
00:13:51Finally gets to the ropes
00:13:54And that's when you're so far back
00:13:55It's very difficult to walk the other way when mark briscoe is going to the ropes briscoe's mouth. Wait a second
00:14:02It's the best bad apple brian keith the official didn't see it
00:14:06new champion
00:14:10No
00:14:10mark briscoe, that's close
00:14:13so close
00:14:15And a great match like this to have it end that way. I think I think brian keith even had jericho's back
00:14:22As well as look at rocky romero
00:14:26Jericho trying to sow the seeds of discontent within the conglomeration rocky romero wants no part of it
00:14:32Get back inside
00:14:35Right in the face for jericho downtown winnipeg jericho
00:14:42Bring the chair into play mark briscoe taking advantage
00:14:49Oh my god, the the look on briscoe's face when he landed I couldn't see jericho
00:14:57God dang, let's see if we can take another look at that. Wow
00:15:01Briscoe taken to the sky the table had been there for a while just watching a higher angle
00:15:09Yeah, it was the back through the bottom back of jericho's head that went through the bottom of the table you can see the cracks
00:15:15As mark briscoe throwing his body
00:15:18Into jericho on the floor that's in the table not in his head, right?
00:15:23This may be the this may be the froggy bow coming up here
00:15:27If you can connect it
00:15:31Jericho's up froggy
00:15:34Record what anticipation by jericho man with anticipation indeed. Are we seeing it?
00:15:46I just didn't have a feeling that that was gonna put briscoe away. This is a special night for briscoe
00:15:54Boy jericho's really frustrated now even screaming out
00:16:01He got jericho, he ain't got a new match jericho called for the judas effect here briscoe knew it was coming but to the midsection
00:16:11The hands
00:16:14Jericho fights out of it. It's a nice count
00:16:18Oh that caught briscoe good
00:16:20Come up bad. Whatever your
00:16:23perception is here
00:16:25Briscoe's out. Yeah, i'd be covering him if I were jericho. Oh, I agree
00:16:31What's he trying to do here, I mean, oh he's looking to humiliate
00:16:36Mark briscoe. Oh
00:16:38Oh, I know exactly what he's trying to do here
00:16:41Well, why don't you share it with us jay driller on?
00:16:45mark briscoe
00:16:47Chris jericho the double underhook look up to the heavens
00:16:54That has got to be it now, please end it the humiliation
00:16:58One two
00:17:09Jay briscoe the jimmy hendrix of this is licking down playing a guitar riff having the time of his life
00:17:22Face to face now
00:17:28Look at briscoe just absorbing these punches the intensity
00:17:33It's as if his face were calloused and it's not that's heart and passion and grit
00:17:47Oh jericho
00:17:49Stunned him with that. No, he did not briscoe marches forward and look at this. It's like each
00:17:55consecutive shot
00:17:57Briscoe briscoe's liable to break his hand before he gets his business taken care of this rate
00:18:04But there we see those open-handed strokes jr. To that point. I like that
00:18:08That's a hell stab under the throat
00:18:15An emphatic shot has the challenger reeling
00:18:19Here we go
00:18:22Death valley driver

00:23:09The all elite wrestling world
00:23:17Championship
00:23:34Well, as they say in the seas near this location we're in
00:23:39batting down the hatches
00:23:42Brother I I'm trying to remember if i've been ever so stoked about a world title match
00:23:49as this one
00:23:50And we've called many of them jr. This one has so much riding on the career brian danielson
00:23:56So
00:24:07Stoked is the word I would use I am afraid this is going to be dangerous
00:24:13brutal and violent john moxley has shown what he is capable of
00:24:18Brian danielson ditto. We are in for a hell of a fight if I were you fellas
00:24:25I'd be right on your face
00:24:27Believe you me. I will and you know brian danielson. Jr. Had said
00:24:31That before the year is over. He is going to have to have surgery
00:24:35This is a very dangerous match for him to have here in the month of october
00:24:44Introducing the challenger from cincinnati ohio weighing 231 pounds
00:24:54John
00:24:58Moxley
00:25:01jr. The prospect of neck surgery is
00:25:05That's serious for anyone. Yeah, but if you have if you know, you need neck surgery in the next three months
00:25:11If you're stepping into a ring
00:25:14with a man that that relishes
00:25:16Doling out violence like john moxley. I mean surgery could be coming sooner than later. I agree with that. I also know that
00:25:24It doesn't take a
00:25:26Detective to figure out that that man. John moxley is going to focus on the neck
00:25:31of brian danielson
00:25:34And tony, you know to hear moxley tell it he says this is not what he wants to do
00:25:38This is what he has to do. He's being forced to do this to brian danielson forced
00:25:44By who I would say none other than john moxley. I don't get that. Yeah, I don't know
00:25:47He's been speaking in riddles ever since I walked in the ring
00:25:51When they were ascending to the top of aew
00:26:06John moxley not waiting for the honorifics not waiting for the ceremony
00:26:13Brian danielson before the song has even ended and the bell has not
00:26:20Started with their fight
00:26:44I told you fellas we are just getting started. What the hell is he?
00:26:51Moxley with the camera cable. Well, it's due down there. They've lost the match has not started
00:27:03What an unfair advantage is john moxley gaining on the champ, it's a fair budget if anybody can do it
00:27:12And moxley who who claims he has to do this
00:27:16By what order
00:27:21But danielson who has to do this not just for himself but for aew, he's the standard bearer
00:27:34And can you believe if the damn bell has a
00:27:50Face
00:28:03What a face what intensity
00:28:13John moxley reverses danielson into the corner moxley well acquainted with the offense of brian danielson
00:28:19He's got that bulldog choke on I just swore my blackpool combat club hoodie yesterday
00:28:28Masa saito style suplex there from danielson moxley finds himself reeling
00:28:39Moxley kicks out. Oh brian had better end it early because the longer this goes the more it favors. John moxley
00:28:46Oh, I agree with that
00:28:49Feel on his face
00:28:51Well, I don't know about that, but I know that the longer the match goes it goes to the advantage of john moxley
00:28:58Yeah, I think on his face. We're looking at
00:29:00determination and anger
00:29:03Over the course of their careers brian danielson. John moxley. Oh wait danielson
00:29:10He just threw his body at him. Think about it this way
00:29:15If brian loses the title
00:29:18He's quitting he is gone
00:29:21That's as simple as I can put it in his own words
00:29:23He said that when he loses the world championship brian danielson will end his full-time in-ring career
00:29:33Tumbling into the announced positions at ringside
00:29:38Oh, they are on the spanish announce table
00:29:41Watch out carlos. I may not stay there. So I'd get moving. Yeah
00:29:46as danielson
00:29:48moxley
00:29:55Atop the spanish announce table what kicks back to the heart
00:30:05Moxley the thumb to the eye and no, wait, wait. No. No danielson could not take this
00:30:12Oh
00:30:14He could not take oh, did you see yes how danielson's head rebounded off the desk
00:30:22Oh god, and now danielson understandably clutching that injured neck tough call for the referee he's got to be smart here. Yeah, jim
00:30:32Not sure if we can see from our angle
00:30:35Let's take a look from a different angle if we can here it is. What's the head?
00:30:39Oh my god on the neck no give in that cervical compression
00:30:45Of the spine the neck of brian danielson, my god
00:30:53And then moxley
00:30:57That cable and brace ribs are doing all that he can he is he is
00:31:02In hindsight, maybe we should have two referees
00:31:05This battle like this, he could have 10. John moxley doesn't give a damn
00:31:10Okay
00:31:13Well moxley taking a swipe at nigel mcguinness
00:31:18And that may
00:31:20prevent nigel from
00:31:22Cheering on the challenger. Look at this
00:31:24It's like drawing a bullseye on the neck
00:31:27And crashing down on it
00:31:29Guys right now i'm not more
00:31:31i'm more concerned about brian danielson's health and the world title to be honest with you, I just
00:31:37there's got to be a point to where I just I don't know he just
00:31:42And now look at marina shafir
00:31:45She's a
00:31:52Attention is diverted
00:31:57She is a highly trained martial artist knows what she's doing in there and obviously has no fear or intimidation
00:32:04Of getting involved and unfortunately for brian danielson, the referee can only call what he can see jr. Of course, that's true
00:32:10You're right
00:32:15Oh
00:32:18John moxley got just an evil look on moxley lateral press the cover
00:32:24I used to think
00:32:26When we first started at aw that moxley was had under so much personal
00:32:31Uh inflicted patience
00:32:33Lack of patience, right that he was not stable
00:32:36Mentally not stable and I believe that to this very day
00:32:41The three-time former aw world champion
00:32:45He was the man that
00:32:47Carried this company. He put this company on his back. He was
00:32:51The standard bearer for aw he was the international face of all elite wrestling for so long
00:32:58but now
00:33:00He claims that this company has become something unrecognizable to him that only john moxley can set it right
00:33:06Kick right to the neck
00:33:08You guys remember john moxley's arrival into aw the very first double or nothing unexpected through the audience
00:33:16Attacking chris jericho attacking kenny omega making a statement
00:33:26So brian danielson cannot even get to his feet right now
00:33:30And so I I just don't know. I don't know it
00:33:33It takes a lot of guts to make that call tony
00:33:36Yeah rimsberg to make that call and stop this match
00:33:39Takes a lot of guts. There is no way bryce rimsberg is stopping this match
00:33:44Brian, danielson won't let him do it if there's an ounce of energy in his body
00:33:50John moxley and I hate to say this
00:33:54He's gonna have to kill brian danielson. I hate to say this ouch
00:33:59And you know what nigel?
00:34:01I think john moxley's willing to do it after what?
00:34:04He just witnessed
00:34:06Inches away from our face moxley
00:34:09That that look in his eyes
00:34:11Guys, he put a bag over his head. Okay
00:34:15John moxley
00:34:20Oh man and john moxley laid that one in boys, holy smokes now the cover
00:34:27Where does danielson get this from I just
00:34:30Use it's in his dna is all I can say. It's the only explanation for it. You can't train for it
00:34:37In danielson's own words. He's not just defending the aw world championship against john moxley. He's defending
00:34:44Aew sure against john moxley
00:34:47That's why i'd say it again brian danielson's the finest man i've ever seen wearing world title belt
00:34:53He really is what a fighter
00:34:56What a man
00:34:58Damn it. This man's getting his head kicked in right now
00:35:01Now moxley looking for a cover the leg hook danielson there in his home state as well
00:35:06almost still uneasy when
00:35:09We get a near fall
00:35:11end it
00:35:13End it. I know it's up to the rest of his creed and all that bullshit
00:35:16But the bottom line of it is is that this man's health is on the line
00:35:21We know he has to get an x-surgery
00:35:23We know there is no way brian danielson will quit. Oh my god
00:35:28John moxley told him
00:35:30He said there's no way i'm gonna let you die on your own sword
00:35:34The game plan though is evident moxley punished the neck of danielson
00:35:38Well, that's the shortest route to a win
00:35:41right
00:35:42Pointed the elbow
00:35:44that on the spine
00:35:46On the neck quite a weapon
00:35:49Oh
00:36:06That's what they need to get the referee though can only call what he can see I know that are you gonna do it tony
00:36:13No, that's a day. Do you think anyone in the back wants to do it? No
00:36:19It's very emotional here tonight ladies and gentlemen very dramatic in many areas motion is certainly the word
00:36:30He's gonna break his fingers
00:36:35And john moxley, you see the look that brian gave moxley after that
00:36:42Moxley looking to prevent the labelle lock. Nigel attacking the fingers of danielson
00:36:49Brian danielson recently in new york city. That was my intention as well was to injure the arm
00:36:56But remember brian danielson he forced kazuchika okada to tap out to that labelle lock with a broken arm danielson
00:37:06Look at the strength of this woman. She's scary. Well, man, she's tough. You ain't kidding
00:37:11I don't know who i'm more afraid of john moxley or marina shafaeff
00:37:27This is a shocking shocking level of violence
00:37:41Moxley already on the on the announce desk
00:37:53Timely elevation by the world champion. Thank you. He may have saved his career right there
00:37:59his health
00:38:01in jr
00:38:03This is where
00:38:04The masterful technique of brian danielson can take over john moxley has conducted this match
00:38:09How he wants to now it's danielson's turn perhaps no doubt about it
00:38:14the wrong guy for the
00:38:16brian danielson fans
00:38:18Has led this match ahead on points and all that good stuff
00:38:23But moxley out of the corner of his eye saw danielson on the top
00:38:26now digging
00:38:29Digging the fingers and stripping off the kinesio tape biting into the flesh of the aw world champion
00:38:36Are you kidding me? I don't know what he's trying to prove with that. What an animal he's a vampire
00:38:44Moxley's getting into his zone. You can almost feel his comfort level increase but danielson slips free
00:38:54And moxley he was trying to look over his shoulder trying to get a position on danielson
00:38:58But danielson now
00:39:04Danielson returning the favor
00:39:07And punishing moxley with the kicks in the corner, where does danielson get this reserve from jr? It's amazing
00:39:18I've never seen anybody with his passion his ability to think through and strategize a match
00:39:27moxley after absorbing the punishment in the corner
00:39:31Finds himself in a precarious position with danielson once again hammering down on the neck and you see danielson slumped over
00:39:37That's a good point. Excalibur going right back to this. Oh
00:39:41German suplex
00:39:50I can't do a setup. You got a gun to my head
00:39:58Yes
00:40:03He's got a kind of sense that one way or the other the end is near
00:40:11Nobody home moxley accelerates
00:40:20Close near fall passionate near fall. Oh the gator roll moxley now looking for the bulldog
00:40:28Well the bridging choke perhaps if he can drive forward with his hips
00:40:35When john moxley in his first reign as aw world champion was challenged by brody lee
00:40:40This is how he defended the title. This is how he put brody lee to sleep
00:40:46Another physical affair that we've had in our glorious
00:40:49short but amazing history
00:40:52and now
00:40:53Moxley the front chancery into the driving knee strikes
00:40:56The crown of the head every time he does that nigel it compresses the spine of danielson further. It's perfect perfect strategy
00:41:03From john moxley and i've got to be honest for all the vitriol I feel towards brian danielson
00:41:09I'm, not sure which side i'm on right now
00:41:13It wasn't even just a slap to the face. John moxley is such a dislikable person
00:41:20Oh danielson though tremendous submission defense
00:41:24Now look at daniel
00:41:29From walking through hell to applying a tombstone brian danielson my god
00:41:38The submission escape
00:41:41into that masterful pro wrestling technique the hallmark of the career of brian danielson who
00:41:48I hope I pray will continue after tonight and take a look at brian danielson's right arm
00:41:54You can see it's slightly smaller than his left arm
00:41:57That is evidence of damage to the neck a weakening of the right arm the atrophy setting in into the right arm
00:42:04of danielson
00:42:07But
00:42:09Moxley well, he could take a he could take some punishment
00:42:14Not only dish it out, but take it very resilient very tough. He looks at every issue as a personal challenge, right?
00:42:22champion and challenger alike to their feet
00:42:28The challenge of those seemingly with the advantage but danielson's awfully wobbly on his feet here
00:42:36Oh, look at this what a moment
00:42:43Wow
00:42:53Wow, you can feel the emotion here
00:43:02Danielson taking it all up here. Excalibur absorbing the shot from moxley returns with one of his own
00:43:10He can't
00:43:12Whether danielson wants to admit it or not. He can't take a lot of exchanges
00:43:25And nobody goes near to their knee that's that gutty and gritty as I used earlier
00:43:40Oh
00:43:45Danielson the first to flinch moxley
00:43:48Now can moxley take advantage that's the key thing he's got he's finally got the champion down to a knee
00:43:56John moxley is in his absolute
00:44:01And this oh brother
00:44:03This is a fight for a championship for moxley. This is a fight for survival
00:44:07for brian danielson
00:44:09Yeah
00:44:11Uppercut's testing the granite chin of moxley
00:44:28Amazing man amazing performer both are amazing performers
00:44:32Yes
00:44:35And all these quips all these one-liners written down for brian danielson and i'm not saying the other man this
00:44:43Is too important
00:44:52Humans heavy bag getting robbed
00:44:56Oh
00:44:58Referring to john moxley who may be getting the chance to be the champion kicked out of him
00:45:07Danielson said I was going to kick his you know, what head and he said it many times
00:45:13Pretty good blow that time to the head. There's no question. Brian. Danielson is locked
00:45:19He's a guy at ringside holding a sign that says I beat cancer to watch brian danielson kick his head in
00:45:33Cut her from moxley
00:45:44I don't know. That's a good question
00:45:49She created many opportunities to herself and more importantly for john moxley she's not leaving get her out of here
00:45:57She's going but to answer that question she has absolutely played a part
00:46:02The bigger question is has she done enough?
00:46:05To take it beyond the hopes of brian danielson. Well, now it's one-on-one and that's what we want to see
00:46:13So
00:46:17Back to square one back to even starting it all over danielson some blood showing over his left eye
00:46:26I heard the words of john moxley
00:46:29He said this is the real world
00:46:31Nothing lasts forever
00:46:33Saturday night. Everyone will see the truth
00:46:36paradigm shift perhaps death lighter attempt
00:46:39Danielson doesn't want to find out the roundhouse kick misses german suplex danielson
00:46:53So close so very very close to the three count
00:47:03Wow, I just they are willing him on here. Yeah, they are
00:47:08And it's not just here in tacoma. It is around the world
00:47:15Brian danielson
00:47:18100 support can he fend off this challenge from john moxley?
00:47:26We're seeing that brian reached down
00:47:28With some depths of his soul and his heart and come through on every occasion all the title defenses
00:47:35He's had just winning the championship
00:47:3825 years since brian danielson first left washington. He is back here tonight
00:47:47Is this the last night?
00:47:50Some old oak he brought into louisiana
00:47:53Texas and he got trained
00:48:01I never my wildest dreams thought i'd seen this
00:48:09And now the transition
00:48:11the lapel lock
00:48:12Sitched in moxley finding himself in some very deep water at the hands of the aw world champion
00:48:19He's gonna tap. Look at the hand. Look at the hand
00:48:24Putting everything in and he's got everything he's got
00:48:28Literally his fingernails clawing at the mats has to get to the bottom rope
00:48:35Oh, he's there and danielson
00:48:39Is so strategic but moxley strategic in his own right
00:48:43Turning the hips getting the right boot on the bottom rope
00:48:46You'd hear the air come out of the lungs of everyone in attendance as they realized
00:48:51Perhaps the last opportunity for brian danielson has slipped away from him
00:48:57But brian don't do this. Oh my god. He's gonna go for it
00:49:08Oh god, I know it sounds like a broken record, but if that doesn't do it what will
00:49:16Moxley did could barely get up himself here
00:49:20The exposed concrete the death rider here. It was first the block and then moxley knew exactly what he was going to do
00:49:28this
00:49:29Look at moxley. This is this is it. This is the end of brian. Danielson's career
00:49:35Not just yet
00:49:38Not just yet moxley's got to be getting beyond frustrated here if not now then when
00:49:48What is moxley whispering into the ear of danielson we'll never know but we will know that these hammer and anvil strikes are finding
00:49:55Their mark on the jaw of the aw world champion
00:49:59Bottom line here as far as this match is concerned is that brian cannot defend himself
00:50:06Well, he's trying right now hand fighting with moxley he's trying to use the wrist as a lever
00:50:14Well, he better hustle because he ain't gonna last much longer at this rate
00:50:20Here he comes he's standing back up for god's sake look at this carrying the weight of moxley
00:50:26Switching to a different arm
00:50:28John moxley is absolutely relentless
00:50:31unlike anything we've seen in years, but
00:50:34Look at the tenacity of danielson. Where in the hell are these guys going danielson with carrying moxley's weight
00:50:43There's only one way down from hell
00:50:49There with the air right out of john moxley and maybe
00:50:52The aew champion as well. Yeah, because brian cannot make a cover here. Look he could barely even roll over to his side
00:51:04I can't say that brian's tank is empty fellas
00:51:08But it's damn sure on near the red line
00:51:12More than a dozen singles meetings throughout their career
00:51:15Danielson has the bulk of the wins though moxley
00:51:19Has always defeated brian danielson inside an aew ring will that trend continue tonight? No, it will not
00:51:28says
00:51:29the american dragon
00:51:33Using every available
00:51:36Appendage that he can transitions again labelle lock
00:51:41We have never seen brian danielson like this
00:51:45Desperation you are looking fans at the greatest world champion. I've ever seen moxley breaks the grip of danielson now into a triangle
00:51:53Danielson the elbow strikes to the crown of the head of moxley. What a fighter we got on our hands here
00:51:58He's in for the fight of his life. You're right. Oh floating over here
00:52:03Moxley again with the body scissors on
00:52:07Now transition juji katami danielson escaped danielson slips free
00:52:14Shoulder catcher suplex, but moxley rolls through swinging a mess danielson
00:52:24Oh danielson and moxley got folded up like an accordion, but he still kicks out he still competes
00:52:33He is still arguably the toughest man to ever compete in an aew ring
00:52:42What a draining night
00:52:45Almighty the cover
00:52:50Target practice, that's all that was was target practice moxley
00:52:57Oh
00:53:01The guns are drawn
00:53:07Oh, here we go the butterfly the death rider this time center of the ring
00:53:15Moxley makes the crawl
00:53:20I think that was a one count because he thought if they got the two he couldn't make it
00:53:26Where does he get this from?
00:53:45How many
00:53:57Moxley said don't make me do it. Oh, no. Oh, no the
00:54:05Style pile driver and now moxley transitioning
00:54:11Looking for that bulldog looking to flatten danielson out
00:54:16Then she's gonna tuck his chin or try and break the hold with that free arm
00:54:21Man, we've got a lot of emotional fans here
00:54:24Sitting on the edge of their seat
00:54:26Oh
00:54:28They are baited they can taste it the end of brian danielson
00:54:35Danielson reaching looking for that hope to force the break
00:54:40Oh, but look at his posture. He's fading. Yeah
00:54:43Danielson's fading
00:54:44Falls into the grip of moxley moxley's added the neck yet behind the back of the neck
00:54:49It's over
00:54:53Oh no
00:54:56Oh
00:54:59Everybody involved knows what this means
00:55:06The winner of this match
00:55:09And new
00:55:22The fourth reign
00:55:23Of john moxley as aw world champion begins
00:55:27picking up at 400 plus days, but
00:55:29The story here is now
00:55:32In danielson's own words
00:55:34the end
00:55:36Of his full-time in-ring career
00:55:40That was more of a struggle than a match that was a titanic struggle
00:55:46It's funny this is a a moment I've thought about for so long
00:55:54What is finally here
00:55:57It's not at all what I expected
00:56:00So
00:56:05Oh now marina shafir claudio castagnoli and pack
00:56:11As if brian danielson has not been through enough
00:56:15Claudia's got a bag in his hand. I guess they're gonna put the aw belt in there and walk away
00:56:23Yeah, that's exactly what they're gonna do
00:56:26And I hope that's all they do danielson doesn't deserve anything more what's the symbolism of putting the aw belt in the bag
00:56:34I don't get it
00:56:40No marina handing mark
00:56:43All right. Let's go. Yeah, let's get some
00:56:45No, let no no, let's get security. Somebody needs to come out and stop this. They'll put a damn bag over
00:56:52He's a freaking maniac wheeler yuto and tarvi allen thankfully
00:57:02Thankfully
00:57:03Someone with some integrity someone with some respect for danielson
00:57:08Not going to sit idly by
00:57:11They've stopped maxi from using that plastic bag on brian yet again
00:57:17Those are such evil intentions
00:57:22Oh
00:57:35Wheeler yuta who's been steadfast in the support of brian danielson now selects this moment of all
00:57:52All along i'm not so sure i'm looking at you right now look at these
00:58:04Chose the moment to do it
00:58:06Up
00:58:16And it's a terrible moment now, this is I suppose the true test of loyalty for wheeler yuta
00:58:27No
00:58:36The doctors come to ringside with
00:58:53They're fighting off everybody somebody's got to break through somebody's got to stop this
00:58:57This is
00:59:04This is this is disgusting this is the president party has come out
00:59:23Oh moxley
00:59:28Oh
00:59:41How much can a man take physically emotionally darby helpless
00:59:48Restrained in the corner and from a level did you hear what somebody just called for john moxley?
00:59:57Oh
01:00:08Jared trying to get back in as best he can you gotta hand it for jeff trying to do the right thing
01:00:14All right. Now the locker room is empty and i'm looking up to our left here
01:00:20Where have you guys been let's go they got the bill in the bag
01:00:27And the cowards are running away
01:00:30They're running like spawning dogs
01:00:34It's the worst thing i've ever seen in my life in calling wrestling the worst
01:00:46And poor brian danielson
01:00:48just
01:00:49What a suffering position
01:00:52Now this is no longer about the career brian danielson, this is about his quality of life that's right exactly
01:01:01This is about brian danielson his family his children
01:01:05This is about brian
01:01:07They need to they were bringing the stretcher out. They need to be very very careful
01:01:12And getting brian danielson out of the ring
01:01:14Very very careful. Yeah, this match ended up being more about the match the personalities the men
01:01:21Than it did the championship
01:01:23Although we do have a new
01:01:26aew world champion
01:01:32Yeah, listen
01:01:36I I just i'm really concerned about brian because he's as we're looking at look at there's no motion right now
01:01:45They're they're getting aboard darby allen look at darby's face I just
01:01:51You know, you're right. We're we're talking about quality of life here. We're talking about
01:01:57We're not talking about
01:01:59into his career
01:02:00but
01:02:01You see there they've dropped the ropes here. I've been a part of
01:02:05aw mainly for the since the inception i've been proud to be a part of aw, but
01:02:10would moxley
01:02:14What those people did
01:02:16Okay
01:02:37This horrific scene this is uh, it's the worst
01:02:42Worst i've ever seen in my life and i've seen a lot of bad stuff
01:02:47But not like this
