00:00:00At the end of this show, these eight will become four.
00:00:05Previously on LFG.
00:00:08So the person I'm going to send home is you, Troy.
00:00:14Double underhook.
00:00:15I would be doing you a disservice right now if I move you along.
00:00:21You stay, you go.
00:00:23I'm looking for the guy that's going to go out there and he's going to be the first.
00:00:27And that person just has to try.
00:00:35After the eliminations of eight out of the 16 future greats, the mood at the Performance Center has changed.
00:00:43This was the first time we walked in and the whole crew wasn't here.
00:00:47And I feel like all of us just got a sense of like, yeah, this is real.
00:00:51All right, guys, all right, shut the hell up, all right?
00:00:54Because it's time to spin this sumbitch up, all right?
00:00:59Yes.
00:01:01Thanks for priming it for me, Buck.
00:01:04Obviously, hello, everybody.
00:01:06This has been one hell of a journey.
00:01:08Quite a lot's gone on.
00:01:10Had some injuries.
00:01:11Oh!
00:01:12Oh!
00:01:12This past weekend, I've stayed an injury to my shoulder.
00:01:18Oh!
00:01:18I just woke up with pretty bad back pain.
00:01:21Some ups, some downs, some wins, some losses.
00:01:24Very much symbolic of how your careers could possibly go because that's how most of them go.
00:01:30Atmosphere is a little tense, you know.
00:01:32People are very unsure about what's going to happen.
00:01:35Started with 16, whittled it down to 8, and now today, it's time to whittle it down to 4.
00:01:44Who's going to have the opportunity to have that journey continue, and who doesn't?
00:01:52It's never good seeing your co-workers' dreams get crushed.
00:01:56I'm not really too concerned about it because I'm a professional.
00:02:00I do it every time.
00:02:01I show up and I show out.
00:02:05Come on, talk to them.
00:02:07Let's go!
00:02:09Welcome to the Ultimate Proving Ground.
00:02:1216 future greats.
00:02:14Let's go!
00:02:15When they ask who did it best, who will they match?
00:02:17Let's go!
00:02:18The evolution from a few...
00:02:19Four legends.
00:02:20He is the epitome of WrestleMania!
00:02:24I have broke down barriers for women.
00:02:27Be mine at the table!
00:02:30Can't you dig that sucker?
00:02:32A chance to win an NXT contract.
00:02:38Every legend has a first chapter.
00:02:41And the future starts now.
00:02:43Future greats.
00:02:44Let's go!
00:02:44Let's go!
00:02:45You boy ready down there, Mickey?
00:02:53It's time for Shiloh to eat.
00:02:55Oh, is he hungry?
00:02:56Yeah, it's time for him to eat.
00:02:57Oh.
00:02:57You know what I'm wondering?
00:02:59I'm wondering if Chris Island got what it takes.
00:03:01I'm wondering if Shiloh has what it takes.
00:03:04No, we know Shiloh's...
00:03:05I want to see it right here in the middle of this bubble.
00:03:09Give me some.
00:03:10Chris Island needs to have the day of his life tonight.
00:03:15Damn right.
00:03:16That's what he does every day.
00:03:17He walks out here.
00:03:18You know, we can go out there and wrestle all day and have great matches.
00:03:21Without the story, without a reason, then who cares?
00:03:24You got some stuff to talk about, Shiloh?
00:03:26I know there's a lot you can say.
00:03:27Mm-hmm.
00:03:28We got some clever stuff.
00:03:29Absolutely.
00:03:30We got to walk him in, talk him in.
00:03:31This is the hardest part.
00:03:32Yeah.
00:03:33You know you're living rent-free in his head already.
00:03:35Yes, sir.
00:03:35Right?
00:03:35You've been on him all year.
00:03:37Yes, sir.
00:03:37Now we're going to put some asses in seats.
00:03:39This is what we're going to do.
00:03:40Yes, sir.
00:03:41Spin this up, bitch.
00:03:42You know what I mean?
00:03:48Shiloh Hill, you ready?
00:03:49Oh, yeah.
00:03:50Chris Island, you ready?
00:03:51I always.
00:03:52Ring the bell!
00:03:52Ring the damn bell!
00:03:54Look, Shiloh, I'm a real competitor.
00:03:56So I'm going to tell you this right now.
00:03:58I'm happy that you're here.
00:04:00This is the LFG Semis.
00:04:02This is history.
00:04:03This is first ever.
00:04:04So may the best man win.
00:04:07Well, good, bro.
00:04:09I'm glad you're happy.
00:04:11You should be happy, because after the day, if the best man wins, you get to go home.
00:04:16Shout out to, what is it, Vacaville?
00:04:17Where are you from?
00:04:18Hey, watch your mouth.
00:04:19I'm going to tell you this one time.
00:04:20Don't ever speak about that city.
00:04:22Sounds like I'm kind of in your head, bro.
00:04:24That's the difference between you and me.
00:04:26You need a reason to get nasty.
00:04:27Me?
00:04:28I'm just nasty.
00:04:29I hurt people because it's fun.
00:04:31And I'm here fighting for my spot because I love violence.
00:04:35You, you, you love violence.
00:04:37I'm tired of this act.
00:04:38I'm tired of this tough guy act.
00:04:39I'm tired of the spitting.
00:04:40I'm tired of the yelling.
00:04:41Why don't you be real?
00:04:42What happened last time?
00:04:43What happened our first time wrestling?
00:04:45Bring that up.
00:04:45Bring that up, bro.
00:04:46Bring that up.
00:04:46I dare you, bro.
00:04:47What happened?
00:04:47He was slumped down on the mat, tuned it up.
00:04:51And I was walking away healthy.
00:04:53Bro, I dare you to bring that up again.
00:04:54I dare you to throw that inzy out there, bro.
00:04:56I protect myself.
00:04:56I dare you.
00:04:57I protect myself.
00:04:57You punch me in my face, bro.
00:04:58Knock my teeth down.
00:04:59Bring me my head.
00:05:00You already lost my head.
00:05:01You already lost my head.
00:05:01I dare you.
00:05:02You already lost my head.
00:05:02Nothing about me and Shiloh Hill's segment wasn't real.
00:05:17We looked each other in the eyes and meant everything that we said.
00:05:21And it was really in that segment I understood what this entire competition has been for and what Undertaker has been preaching and what Mickey has been preaching and Booker and Bubba.
00:05:30But everyone has been preaching that realness.
00:05:33We started out pretty, like, cordial and everything.
00:05:36And by the time the thing ended, I think we were both in the mindset to get ready to go for sure.
00:05:41Next to face off are Panina Tualepa and Zena Sterling.
00:05:46It's not a game.
00:05:47All right.
00:05:47This is your career.
00:05:49It's your meat on the table.
00:05:50You don't want anybody to take that.
00:05:51I need you to find the most serious version of yourself that exists right now.
00:05:58Just keep a straight face the whole time?
00:06:00Just look right at her and never say a word.
00:06:04And when the time's right, turn your back.
00:06:08Turn your back to her.
00:06:14I don't know.
00:06:15I'm just...
00:06:16I'm spitballing.
00:06:18This moment is about you.
00:06:20This is your time.
00:06:21We can take it all the way.
00:06:23Everything that happened up until this day, forget about it.
00:06:26The tournament starts today.
00:06:27Let's get it done.
00:06:28Let's get it done.
00:06:29To me, it's all fun and games.
00:06:34When I get to start spitting what I spit, this is where P-Nasty come out to play.
00:06:40Ring the bell!
00:06:44Zena, you are all talk.
00:06:47When you step in that ring, you are just a watered-down version of this.
00:06:52Zena, shut the hell up with all that.
00:06:54Now, who told you that?
00:06:55Bubba?
00:06:56You went over there, you got breastfed by Bubba?
00:06:58Mm-hmm.
00:06:59Is that who told you that?
00:07:00Whack-ass line?
00:07:01Come on now.
00:07:03Today is the day where I will put you on your f***ing ass and it's over.
00:07:08I'm going to New York.
00:07:10You know where that is?
00:07:11I don't even think you know how to spell New York.
00:07:13Can you breastfeed?
00:07:15She don't even know what to say.
00:07:17That's right.
00:07:18She's lost.
00:07:19Uh-huh.
00:07:20In the beginning of the show, Zena was just nonstop talking.
00:07:23She loved to talk.
00:07:24I can talk all day, all month, all week, all year!
00:07:28I felt like taking that turn left, being more silent, was a great idea for me.
00:07:34Do my talking in the ring.
00:07:37She just got in your face and told you off.
00:07:40Why don't you?
00:07:41She got in my face.
00:07:42She didn't even get in my face.
00:07:43She got in the ear because she's too damn scared to go face-to-face like this.
00:07:46Uh-huh, yeah.
00:07:47This right here?
00:07:48This is going to be the last face you see when I f***ing hit your ass.
00:07:51Whoa!
00:07:52Your ass better be big enough advantage of the takes of.
00:07:57Zena Sterling decides to turn around and walk out after giving me a little whisper in my ear.
00:08:03I'll handle it in the ring.
00:08:05Okay, whatever that means.
00:08:07She turned her back on you and she walked away.
00:08:11You were left in the middle.
00:08:14You got walked out on.
00:08:16Come on!
00:08:17He told her, Zena, do this, this, this, and that and say this.
00:08:19All of this f*** that come out of my ass, he's had it all raw.
00:08:22Uncut!
00:08:23If you had any guts whatsoever, you would have done something about it.
00:08:26Come on, he's still talking to my house.
00:08:27He's talking about sipping, sipping around us.
00:08:29Are you listening to me?
00:08:30You would have done something about it.
00:08:32You did nothing.
00:08:33Come on now.
00:08:34You know what?
00:08:35He's trying to save face.
00:08:36He's trying to save face.
00:08:37What?
00:08:38What did you say?
00:08:39This is movies.
00:08:40What did you say?
00:08:41Movies?
00:08:42This is movies?
00:08:43Oh, yeah.
00:08:44Oh, yeah.
00:08:45You bring nothing out of me.
00:08:46You bring nothing.
00:08:47You bring nothing.
00:08:48Oh, please, Panina.
00:08:49Don't make me bury you in front of the cameras and your friends.
00:08:53Oh, Bubba, don't start now.
00:08:55Don't make me bury you, Panina.
00:08:57What's wrong, Panina?
00:08:58You letting me get under your skin?
00:08:59Huh?
00:09:00You can't tell the difference?
00:09:01Hell no, I can't tell the difference.
00:09:02Because I think you're weird and I think she weird.
00:09:04Don't talk.
00:09:05Cena's ass in trouble.
00:09:06Put your tail between your legs and get out.
00:09:07I really can't tell the difference.
00:09:08A tail?
00:09:09Ain't no tails over here.
00:09:10Mm-mm.
00:09:11No tails.
00:09:12Must be getting real for you folks.
00:09:14See what I'm saying?
00:09:15Might be getting real for you, Bubba.
00:09:19Things don't look to be slowing down as Jasper Troy and BJ Ray are due up for the next confrontation.
00:09:26Man, this ain't gonna be no promo.
00:09:28This is gonna be real as real can get.
00:09:30BJ's gonna eat your f***ing lunch.
00:09:32BJ, are you kidding me?
00:09:35You know what?
00:09:36What's the closest hospital?
00:09:38Because we might be going there in a couple minutes.
00:09:41I'm gonna blow this guy out of the park by a landslide.
00:09:44Dude's really got nothing but a grumpy face, calls himself a monster.
00:09:47He's only a monster because people make him look like a monster, specifically me.
00:09:51You've been talking so much smack.
00:09:55This entire season.
00:09:57You've made it to the semifinals.
00:10:00You're gonna go face to face with Jasper right now.
00:10:03I gotta tell you, when it comes to the match, he's got the definitive edge.
00:10:08However, you could take his legs out from under him real damn quick and send him into that match with absolutely no confidence.
00:10:17Tonight, it's about you.
00:10:18It ain't about him.
00:10:19All right?
00:10:20It's about you going out here and taking care of business like you've been doing since day one.
00:10:25Make him think maybe he's not as good as everybody has made him out to be.
00:10:30Don't change nothing.
00:10:31Don't change your attitude.
00:10:32Don't change your approach.
00:10:33Don't change the way you go out there and take care of your business.
00:10:36Go out there and get it done.
00:10:37Just imagine how Jasper, how seriously he's taking this, right?
00:10:42Yes, coach.
00:10:43Just imagine if you are the guy that sends him home.
00:10:46BJ Ray, are you ready?
00:10:48I'm ready.
00:10:49Jasper Troy, are you ready?
00:10:50Ring the bell!
00:10:52You know, I think I'll start this one off, big guy.
00:10:54What do you think?
00:10:55Yeah?
00:10:56Jasper Troy, big, bad, monster, as some would say.
00:11:05Kind of reminds me of an old Disney movie, Beauty and the Beast.
00:11:11But the problem with Jasper is, I don't see much of a beast standing in front of me.
00:11:15What do you think?
00:11:17I think you're a jackass.
00:11:19To be honest, I don't know how you wound up here.
00:11:22I don't take you serious, BJ.
00:11:24And to be honest, you don't take yourself serious.
00:11:27That's why you laugh and make all these jokes.
00:11:30You act like a dip ass.
00:11:32How could you be a superstar?
00:11:33How could you think that you're leading this show?
00:11:36You've had more injuries than you've had matches.
00:11:39Be for real with yourself, BJ.
00:11:41You know what you are?
00:11:43What's up, baby?
00:11:44You're a two-minute segment before commercial break.
00:11:47Oh, wow.
00:11:50Wow.
00:11:52Stand.
00:11:53Before the physical matches can begin, the future greats must battle each other with their wits alone.
00:11:59I feel all this hate.
00:12:02I feel all this jealousy.
00:12:03You know, I think we could all agree that hate stems from jealousy.
00:12:06I mean, just like when I was back in college, risen up all these baddies, it was always the fat, ugly bitches that hated me.
00:12:14And now I'm out here in the WWE and I got one right in front of me.
00:12:18What?
00:12:19Holy shnikes.
00:12:20Uh-uh.
00:12:21You need Twitter followers.
00:12:22You need someone saying, BJ Ray, you're so great.
00:12:25You're so amazing.
00:12:26You're the next superstar.
00:12:27BJ, people on the internet don't write checks.
00:12:30And they damn sure don't book these shows.
00:12:33As far as him getting in my head, you know, that can never happen.
00:12:36He's not good enough to really get under my skin.
00:12:39The only reason anything you say, this whole embodiment, has any emphasis is because Booker T rides you.
00:12:45Yeah, you ask early if somebody wants to talk to you, you ride his ass and you pop for everything he does.
00:12:49How many points has he won?
00:12:50How many points has he won?
00:12:51How many points has he won?
00:12:52How many points has he won?
00:12:53How many points has he won?
00:12:54What have you done?
00:12:55So guess what, Jasper?
00:12:56What have you done?
00:12:57How many points has he won?
00:12:58No, no, no, no.
00:12:59How many points has he won?
00:13:00I mean, look what we're going to count him up.
00:13:01He's so mad.
00:13:02Because they only have three points.
00:13:04So how many of those three points did you win?
00:13:06Hey, listen.
00:13:07I have something that you don't have.
00:13:08What?
00:13:09I have something called courage.
00:13:10You want to know why?
00:13:11You're walking around this place being six foot six, 300-something pounds.
00:13:14But look at my circumstances, Jasper.
00:13:16I became a monster.
00:13:17And I've never bent my knee to anybody.
00:13:19Ever.
00:13:20And I'm definitely not going to bend my knee to you and your schmuck ass when we get in the ring.
00:13:25So how about we step in there and we find out about it, big boy?
00:13:27Huh?
00:13:28Yeah.
00:13:29Yeah.
00:13:30You're only laughing because you're nervous.
00:13:31No, I'm laughing because you're a joke.
00:13:34Jasper, if you need help on verbal assault lessons, just let me know.
00:13:37Because we all know he's the king of this .
00:13:39And I cooked him.
00:13:40Monster.
00:13:41Mm.
00:13:42Joke-ish.
00:13:43Wow.
00:13:44It's going to be good.
00:13:45It's going to be good.
00:13:46Who's so deer right?
00:13:47I think somebody's thinking a little hard right now about that.
00:13:51I mean, coming from somebody who had won a point.
00:13:54Hey, is Booker riding his teammate again?
00:13:56You're damn right I was riding my team.
00:13:58Yeah.
00:13:59Hey, I'm going to show you.
00:14:00Hey, don't worry, bud.
00:14:01We're going to show his ass.
00:14:02I mean, is your team winning?
00:14:03We're going to show his ass, yeah.
00:14:04Is your team winning?
00:14:05Keep talking, book.
00:14:06Keep talking.
00:14:07Next to face off are Danny Sekelski and Tyra Mae Steele, who have some history of their own.
00:14:14You have some stuff you want to say?
00:14:16Get off your chest.
00:14:17I just, uh, I don't want to be overlooked against her again, you know?
00:14:20Yeah.
00:14:21Two times now.
00:14:22Both of you should be very proud of what you just did.
00:14:26I'm going to have to go.
00:14:27Tyra.
00:14:29On the lady's side, it's Tyra.
00:14:32Don't be afraid to get a little...
00:14:33Yeah, gritty.
00:14:34Yeah.
00:14:35I just, like, I need to bring that side of me out.
00:14:37Because I feel like, because of my size, my background, if I don't have that scrappy side, people often are like, view me as weak.
00:14:45So, we don't want that.
00:14:46Yeah.
00:14:47Right.
00:14:48I want you in her head for the rest of the night.
00:14:50Until she comes face to face with who's going to send her home.
00:14:54You got that?
00:14:55I got that.
00:14:56Do you got it?
00:14:57I got that.
00:14:58I know you do.
00:14:59Now, go tell her.
00:15:00Okay?
00:15:01Let's get it done.
00:15:02Come on.
00:15:03Come on.
00:15:04Yes.
00:15:05If you can live rent-free in somebody's head, going into the semifinals and finals, you're winning the game.
00:15:11I'm going to start here.
00:15:12Skrt!
00:15:13Why are you still in the ring with me when we've already done this one and two times?
00:15:17Do you really think you have what it takes to try to beat me again?
00:15:21It's funny because you're pulling the words right out of my mouth.
00:15:25Because I knew what everyone was saying the first time we got in the ring.
00:15:28What is someone with three months of experience, a cheerleader doing against an Olympic gold medalist?
00:15:34And what did I do?
00:15:35I held my own.
00:15:36See the distance you can.
00:15:37May have fallen short of the wind, but I held my own.
00:15:39Why are you backing up?
00:15:40Step to me like you actually mean something.
00:15:42There you go.
00:15:43I was like the audacity of this chick to come and step up to me again and thinks that she can run her mouth.
00:15:49What have you done with your life?
00:15:51What have I done with my life?
00:15:52What makes you think you can step in here with me?
00:15:54What have I done with my life?
00:15:56I have a gold medal sitting at home too.
00:15:58But I don't use it to ride myself through this career.
00:16:01And what have you done?
00:16:02What did you do?
00:16:03She just told you that her gold medal
00:16:06was a champion for us.
00:16:07What is your gold medal?
00:16:09What is your gold medal?
00:16:09What is queen of level up?
00:16:10What is your gold medal in?
00:16:11I'm a world champion.
00:16:12World champion.
00:16:13I am a two-time world champion
00:16:15and an Olympic gold medalist.
00:16:18And I know it.
00:16:18Just because you are a freaking gold medalist
00:16:21does not make you the right to stay up in here at the meet.
00:16:25All right?
00:16:25Gold medalists are not.
00:16:27I made it known that I represent this country.
00:16:30I look at you
00:16:31and I see a wannabe cowboy's cheerleader.
00:16:34So you can take your behind
00:16:35and you can go somewhere else.
00:16:36Wannabe, but I was already on that stage, girlfriend.
00:16:38But you kind of don't got her behind.
00:16:39So I'm going to show you as I walk away.
00:16:41Okay.
00:16:44Body shame.
00:16:44That's great.
00:16:45That's a good one.
00:16:46People have come out to me my whole damn life.
00:16:48I'm a heel.
00:16:50I'm body shame all day.
00:16:51There ain't no rules when you're a heel.
00:16:53Hear what she said?
00:16:53I'm a heel.
00:16:55Told you she was.
00:16:57You're all buying this babyface bullsh**.
00:16:58She hates everybody.
00:17:00She's taking it too serious.
00:17:06She's not there crying.
00:17:07What the crud?
00:17:10She looked at me in the face
00:17:11and basically told me,
00:17:12one, I was worth nothing,
00:17:13and two, I can't do something.
00:17:15So that's where I come in and say,
00:17:17well, then I'm just going to have to f***ing do it.
00:17:19Welcome in ringside.
00:17:24Vic Joseph alongside Jeremy Borash.
00:17:25You can feel the energy because it is a big night here on LFG.
00:17:30Certainly as Vic tonight,
00:17:31the semifinals of Legends and Future Greats.
00:17:34The 16 became eight.
00:17:35Tonight, we're going to narrow it down to four.
00:17:37Who will go on to the finals
00:17:38and ultimately end up with an NXT contract.
00:17:41We're kicking things off right now.
00:17:43The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
00:17:51Introducing first, representing Team Undertaker,
00:17:55from Houston, Texas,
00:17:57Tyra Mae Smith.
00:17:59Let's talk about this opening contest
00:18:03because we're looking at an Olympian.
00:18:06You see the gold medal.
00:18:07She is looking to bury her opponent six feet under.
00:18:13Well, we've certainly seen The Undertaker's influence
00:18:15on Tyra Mae's deal since the get-go.
00:18:17This is a rematch from the very first episode
00:18:19of Legends and Future Greats.
00:18:21Here we will see the progression
00:18:23right before our very own eyes
00:18:25and who will go on
00:18:27to compete in the finals
00:18:29next week here on LFG.
00:18:39And her opponent,
00:18:40representing Team Mickey James
00:18:43from Stanford, Connecticut,
00:18:45Danny Sikilski.
00:18:47That's one of your favorites, JV.
00:18:49The Spitfire of LFG.
00:18:52Danny Sikilski held her own.
00:18:54We saw that verbal spat,
00:18:55that verbal warfare.
00:18:56Earlier, right before this matchup,
00:18:59leading into this match,
00:19:01and certainly as we saw,
00:19:02no words were held back from Danny Sikilski
00:19:05and no words held back from Tyra Mae Steele.
00:19:08These two know what is at stake,
00:19:09their careers on the line,
00:19:11and their future in the balance.
00:19:14Here on the semifinals,
00:19:15in the playoffs of Legends and Future Greats,
00:19:19here we go.
00:19:19Now, you had brought up the very first LFG.
00:19:22We've talked about this a few times.
00:19:25Nice takedown into the cover hook of the leg.
00:19:27Two victories for Steele over Danny,
00:19:30but it's not all about wins here on LFG.
00:19:33Certainly one can argue that Tyra Mae Steele
00:19:35with the most accomplished background on the program,
00:19:37obviously Olympic gold medalist speaks for itself.
00:19:39Let's not forget, though,
00:19:41Danny Sikilski, a champion in her own right,
00:19:43dedicated to her craft,
00:19:44a world champion cheerleader.
00:19:46Obviously different genres,
00:19:48different backgrounds, different styles,
00:19:50bringing something different to the table.
00:19:53Now we're going to see the Legends.
00:19:57She doesn't know her own strength.
00:19:59She's so strong.
00:20:00She's so strong.
00:20:00And Danny's so tiny.
00:20:02As you see,
00:20:03Mickie James and The Undertaker
00:20:04have had so much investment
00:20:06into these two individuals.
00:20:08How will it play out
00:20:09and who will ultimately come out on top?
00:20:11We will find out
00:20:12who will go on to the finals
00:20:13of Legends and Future Greats.
00:20:15You saw Steele's amateur Olympic background.
00:20:18Not somebody Danny wants to get down
00:20:20on the mat with in this matchup.
00:20:22And she's obviously been on the wrong end of Steele.
00:20:24Not once, but twice.
00:20:26But when you take a look at the bigger picture,
00:20:28Team Mickie needs a little bit of help.
00:20:31Nice.
00:20:32Nice.
00:20:33They've come a long way, huh?
00:20:34They have come a long way.
00:20:35Yeah.
00:20:37But Steele turning things right back around,
00:20:39up over, pace is starting to quicken.
00:20:41High cross body cover,
00:20:43hook of the leg in the near fall.
00:20:44One thing that we've got to talk about
00:20:45with Legends and Future Greats,
00:20:47the experience we've seen,
00:20:48the knowledge passed on by the Legends.
00:20:50Nice.
00:20:50Implemented into their matches,
00:20:51as we're seeing here,
00:20:52the feedback in real time as it happens.
00:20:54But one thing that this show has done
00:20:56for these 16 individuals
00:20:57that have taken place
00:20:58and been a part of LFG
00:21:00is they are now so much more comfortable
00:21:02in front of a camera.
00:21:04And ask any performer,
00:21:05ask anyone in this industry,
00:21:06that is so important.
00:21:08When that red light is on,
00:21:09you need to know to go.
00:21:11Get that leg.
00:21:12Get that leg.
00:21:13There you go.
00:21:15Get up to that leg.
00:21:16You said a lot there,
00:21:17and a lot of it rings true.
00:21:19And if you're right now sitting in the back
00:21:20and you're the undertaker
00:21:22and you're watching Steele
00:21:23systematically dissect your opponent,
00:21:25the question I have to you, though, JB,
00:21:27has Steele lived up to the hype thus far?
00:21:30Well, Steele has been certainly
00:21:31an interesting point of contention for many.
00:21:33Oh!
00:21:33Nice.
00:21:35Nice.
00:21:36I wish she had done it towards hard cam,
00:21:38but not there yet.
00:21:40We're not there yet.
00:21:42She's got good instinct.
00:21:44They both do.
00:21:46Oh, look at Steele.
00:21:48Maybe looking for a stretch muffler,
00:21:50looking for the submission.
00:21:52Wow.
00:21:53Look at the strength alone on this.
00:21:55I don't necessarily know
00:21:55if the body's closer to contort that way,
00:21:57but a counter, a cover,
00:21:59and a kick out.
00:22:00Go back to between these two.
00:22:02Oh, wait a minute.
00:22:03There's the quickness coming into play.
00:22:04Another near fall in this matchup.
00:22:07These two have had a little bit
00:22:09of a war of words between one another.
00:22:14There you go.
00:22:15Nice.
00:22:16No love lost between Danny Sikalski
00:22:18and Tyra Mae Steele in this matchup.
00:22:20And knowing what's on the line,
00:22:22knowing that one of these two individuals,
00:22:24wow, Tyra Mae Steele.
00:22:26That was innovative.
00:22:27Really taking apart the leg of Danny Sikalski
00:22:30and knowing that so much is at stake,
00:22:32these two are into the cover,
00:22:35hook of the leg,
00:22:35and a kick out.
00:22:36You wonder if the Undertaker has said,
00:22:37you know what?
00:22:38This is someone who wanted to use my signature move.
00:22:40I want you to go out there and punish her.
00:22:43My hip would pop right off.
00:22:47I think Undertaker realized that Danny Sikalski
00:22:49went about it the right way
00:22:50via Michelle McCool's advice.
00:22:53At the same time,
00:22:55being able to implement that finishing maneuver,
00:22:57the Hellsgate to success,
00:22:58has been the real,
00:23:00I think,
00:23:01success story for that.
00:23:02And Undertaker's appreciative of that.
00:23:03A couple of kicks to the shoulder,
00:23:05able to back Steele off.
00:23:06Wait a minute.
00:23:06Inside cradle.
00:23:08And another near fall.
00:23:09Steele just able to kick out.
00:23:11And this matchup has been really one-sided.
00:23:14Steele's been focusing on the lower body,
00:23:16but now that background coming into play.
00:23:18The former Tennessee Titan cheerleader.
00:23:20The former Big Ten standout at Penn State University.
00:23:24Sporting her Nittany Lion colors tonight.
00:23:27Trying to rally in this matchup.
00:23:30Can Danny get back in this when LFG returns?
00:23:36How much does Cody have left?
00:23:38Triple H and Steele.
00:23:40Certain scene you will never forget.
00:23:43WWE's greatest moments.
00:23:45New episode.
00:23:46Only at the Home Depot.
00:23:48We're back on LFG.
00:23:50And Danny is rallying against Steele.
00:23:54Good bump and feed.
00:23:56Oh, good sell, Danny.
00:23:59Futures are at stake.
00:24:00And that is what Danny realized in this moment.
00:24:03She is fighting for her future on one leg.
00:24:05And oh, no one there.
00:24:07And again, miss for Danny.
00:24:09Back to her feet.
00:24:10In comes Steele.
00:24:11And Steele goes down low.
00:24:13Nice.
00:24:13Oh.
00:24:15Oh, that mistake.
00:24:16Steele has back.
00:24:17Relentless with that leg.
00:24:19She's been told, be aggressive.
00:24:20She's been told to go out there and be fired up.
00:24:23And she's certainly showcasing that tonight.
00:24:26One more time.
00:24:27Up and wait.
00:24:28Danny, over.
00:24:29Counter able to roll through.
00:24:30Steele able to answer right back.
00:24:31Getting run on top.
00:24:32And wait a minute.
00:24:33Hell's Gate.
00:24:33Oh.
00:24:34The Undertaker's move.
00:24:36And The Undertaker's star pupil.
00:24:38Pass the tap to The Hell's Gate.
00:24:41Wow.
00:24:41Nice.
00:24:42That was really slick.
00:24:43And the people.
00:24:44Look.
00:24:45Look.
00:24:45Danny.
00:24:46They can't believe it.
00:24:48Imagine Danny Sikalski using The Hell's Gate submission maneuver to finish off Tyra May
00:24:56Steele, the prize pupil of The Undertaker.
00:24:59What a turn of events.
00:25:01But was it enough to impress the judges?
00:25:05Wow.
00:25:05They had a good match.
00:25:06That was great.
00:25:07Thank you for letting her use that, by the way.
00:25:11That was awesome.
00:25:13I never went into it that smoothly.
00:25:16I don't know about that.
00:25:19Yeah, that was good.
00:25:25Thank you very much.
00:25:31I'm really happy with the performance.
00:25:32I think, after all of what I've been through and what we've been through together in that
00:25:37ring, to put together a third match, I think it shows definitely our growth from
00:25:41week one to now.
00:25:43I definitely was aggressive, and everybody was feeling what we were trying to portray.
00:25:49What do you think?
00:25:50Aside from me, like, not putting everything in the right spot, I still had the aggression
00:25:58that I wanted and the feeling that I wanted.
00:26:00You two were the only people that knew that those spots were in the wrong place.
00:26:05We were just talking about how night and day from when you guys, the first match, right?
00:26:10Yeah.
00:26:11It was so good.
00:26:11The first match, y'all come a long, y'all come a long way.
00:26:14It's good.
00:26:15BJ, have a good match.
00:26:18Thank you, Coach.
00:26:18Appreciate you.
00:26:19Go do something.
00:26:20Yes, sir.
00:26:22Hey.
00:26:23Hey.
00:26:23Well, I have been told, and I don't know if this is true or not, because it came from
00:26:27BJ Ray, he said you two have been tearing up the town before LFG.
00:26:32That is incorrect.
00:26:33I should have known better than to believe him, right?
00:26:34You do not believe a word he says.
00:26:36Introducing first, representing Team Wolverine.
00:26:39From Corona, California, weighing at 240 pounds, BJ Ray.
00:26:45BJ Ray, entering this matchup, making it all the way to the semifinals, but as a big, tough
00:27:00man, as his opponent.
00:27:04And his opponent, representing Team Booker T, from Huffman, Texas, weighing at 340 pounds,
00:27:11Jasper Troy.
00:27:20He already looks like the baddest mother trucker here, so that's the best entrance I've seen
00:27:25him have.
00:27:27That looks ominous.
00:27:29That looks scary.
00:27:31And he looks like the real freaking deal.
00:27:33He does.
00:27:34This is somebody who has really taken to the coaching, has taken to the legends, and it's
00:27:43been seen not only on camera, in the ring, but also off camera when no one's watching.
00:27:51Kid don't know when to lay out on anything.
00:27:53No, he doesn't.
00:27:53He don't know when to lay out on anything.
00:27:56Obviously saying a lot without saying a word, that's what Jasper Troy does in the ring,
00:28:03and of course, out of the ring as well.
00:28:06Look at Troy, quickly turning things around, monster body slam, and this is somebody, if
00:28:12you go back to week one, if you go back to his arrival, getting the knees up his way,
00:28:16he has cut 8% body fat, has Troy.
00:28:19Well, certainly what we've seen him do in the gym, impressive.
00:28:22What we've seen him do in the ring, pretty impressive as well, but what we've seen him
00:28:26do behind the microphone, I mean, dismembering CM Punk.
00:28:31How many people can say they did that?
00:28:32That's a very short list as Ray in control now of this match.
00:28:36Take your time here.
00:28:38This is your time.
00:28:39Just take your time.
00:28:40When you left earlier, this is exactly what we went over, taking his time.
00:28:45BJ Ray at a disadvantage, injured on the third episode of LFG.
00:28:49This is a little bit better.
00:28:50He's doing a little slower.
00:28:51Much of the season, he was on the shelf, obviously getting the opportunity to come back, replacing
00:28:56Cutler in that final opportunity to win back his spot on the team, and what is this?
00:29:02Well, I'm glad you bring that up, because we talk about how important this matchup is,
00:29:05how important this night is, where we're at here in LFG.
00:29:09BJ Ray has already been in a high-stakes matchup.
00:29:12He's already felt that sort of pressure.
00:29:14Does that help or hurt him rise to the occasion in this match?
00:29:18Well, he knows he has to rise to the occasion.
00:29:20Whether or not it's helped or hurt, I guess that's up for Coach Bubba Ray to decide, but
00:29:24Jasper Troy, the pride and joy of Booker T and Team Booker in a position now to land
00:29:31some offense on BJ Ray.
00:29:33Come on, put your hands up.
00:29:34Open up.
00:29:35There was supposed to be two of them there.
00:29:36Yeah, he was supposed to be two of them.
00:29:37Taking a little too much time was Troy Ray coming right back in.
00:29:41And this is that amateur background, ACC standout, University of Duke.
00:29:47I've tried my best to put him in the best position I possibly can't do tonight.
00:29:52But he's just rushing every damn thing.
00:29:55And I'm not just saying that.
00:29:57Like, take your time here, bro.
00:30:00You know what's crazy?
00:30:02We've seen a lot of amateur wrestlers come in.
00:30:05He's not picking it up nearly as quick as all of the others.
00:30:09I thought for a second, maybe Ray would lock in some sort of key lock when he was going
00:30:14into submission.
00:30:15He's trying now to apply a submission to the left arm, trying to hyper-extend the left
00:30:20elbow.
00:30:20But Troy doing a good job of keeping his grip, trying to overpower.
00:30:24But he's got to be careful that his shoulders stay off the mat.
00:30:27And let's not forget, these eight semifinalists competing in this edition of LFG will be narrowed
00:30:34down to four at the end of the program.
00:30:36And we are going to find out who heads to the finals of Season 1 LFG.
00:30:42What power!
00:30:43What strength!
00:30:44By Jasper Troy!
00:30:45Unbelievable!
00:30:46He almost got caught.
00:30:47Good enough for the people to react.
00:30:49Yeah.
00:30:49High enough for the people to react.
00:30:51He asked Booker anything about life, about the gym, about what it takes to be the man,
00:30:56how to stand out.
00:30:58Jasper doing everything right here tonight, man.
00:31:01Jasper's just better.
00:31:02He's just better.
00:31:04Yes!
00:31:05Yes!
00:31:06Two very different journeys for BJ Ray and Jasper Troy to get to this point, the semifinals
00:31:10of Legends of Future.
00:31:11Very different journeys, but they're both here.
00:31:14That's the bottom line.
00:31:15Both ended up in this spot.
00:31:17Both have that opportunity to take it home.
00:31:19And wow!
00:31:20Boss Man Slam!
00:31:21That was excellent on both parts.
00:31:23Good.
00:31:24Good fire right there.
00:31:26Now, bitch dragged him to the corner.
00:31:28Nice.
00:31:29Keep selling that arm.
00:31:32Bring him in.
00:31:35This is 340 pounds.
00:31:37340 pounds going to the second row.
00:31:44Troy down!
00:31:46Found his mark!
00:31:47Into the cover!
00:31:49Three!
00:31:49And Troy silences Ray!
00:31:53Somebody's screaming out there.
00:31:56Got something, man.
00:31:57He really does.
00:31:58Tell you what, I could see him standing face-to-face with just about anybody in NXT right now.
00:32:03He's my god, man.
00:32:04He's hungry, too, man.
00:32:06I think that's what it is more than anything.
00:32:08He's hungry.
00:32:08He's hungry.
00:32:09Definitely.
00:32:10He has the power.
00:32:12He has the size.
00:32:13He has impressed everyone with his ability to take coaching critiques.
00:32:18He's victorious.
00:32:19He's Jasper Troy.
00:32:21But was it enough to impress the decision-makers here on LFG?
00:32:27What a night it's been.
00:32:32We're already halfway through the semifinals.
00:32:34And, of course, we're seeing the matches right now.
00:32:36Team Booker.
00:32:37Team Bubba.
00:32:38It's going to be an incredible matchup.
00:32:40Here we go on Legends of Future Greats.
00:32:43The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
00:32:55Introducing first, representing Team Bubba-Ready from LVU-Train.
00:33:00There you go right here.
00:33:01That's just golden goose.
00:33:04That's even better than meal ticket.
00:33:06The golden goose.
00:33:07Personality out of this world for Zena Sterling.
00:33:17Drive, ambition, you name it.
00:33:19She's got it.
00:33:20Carries herself with the work ethic of a veteran.
00:33:26Such a crowning moment, you've asked.
00:33:31And her opponent representing Team Booker TV from Seattle, Washington.
00:33:36I need a twin-lipper.
00:33:40Oh, that right there was just that little transition right there.
00:33:45Most know her simply as P-Nasty.
00:33:52Well, an online favorite, certainly.
00:33:54We've seen the internet audience get behind P-Nasty in a very short time.
00:33:59Come on, girls.
00:33:59Steal the show.
00:34:01Come on.
00:34:02Atta, girls, Zena.
00:34:03Atta, girls, Zena.
00:34:04We talk about halfway through the semifinals here tonight on LFG.
00:34:11You know, JB, remind us, at the end of Season 1, what is the winner get?
00:34:20Well, we're going to see one with an NXT contract, one male, one female, both.
00:34:26Courtesy of the Heartbreak Kid, Shawn Michaels.
00:34:28And that's so much at stake.
00:34:30That's a life-changing opportunity put on their doorstep if they're able to survive this competition.
00:34:36Big body slam by P-Nasty, who just hoists Sterling up one more time.
00:34:40Sterling right now trying to navigate her way down.
00:34:42She did.
00:34:43Trying to take down.
00:34:45Couldn't do it.
00:34:46That's that vertical base of P-Nasty.
00:34:48Well, what we've seen from P-Nasty is an evolution of sorts.
00:34:51We've seen a lot of growth from both of these individuals throughout the journey here on LFG.
00:34:55P-Nasty taking a different route.
00:34:56Obviously, we've seen a more serious route for Zena Sterling.
00:35:01The question is, who has grown the most?
00:35:03Who has the most opportunity?
00:35:05Who brings the most to the table?
00:35:10Duh.
00:35:10Good job.
00:35:11She does her homework.
00:35:12Look.
00:35:12She watches wrestling when she goes home.
00:35:15Look at this.
00:35:16Look at this.
00:35:17Emmett trying to get a crucifix-style pin into the cover to kick out.
00:35:21Booker T taking great exception to the coaching of Bubba Ray.
00:35:25Of course, that's been a, well, pretty much the entire season here on LFG.
00:35:28But today, especially, that coaching or whatever that was that Bubba gave to Zena Sterling on that promo battle earlier
00:35:35certainly ignited a fuse in Booker T and P-Nasty.
00:35:39Good action.
00:35:40Now rushing.
00:35:41Taking her time.
00:35:44Well, P-Nasty in control.
00:35:45Well, as someone you, P-Nasty, they call her P-Nasty for a reason.
00:35:49She carries herself very quietly, very ominous.
00:35:52It's one of those people you just don't want to mess with.
00:35:54Whereas Zena Sterling, kind of the opposite.
00:35:57Bubbly, personal, very friendly.
00:36:00P-Nasty, though, just takes it to a different level.
00:36:02It's all about the growth between both these athletes here on LFG taking the coaching critiques,
00:36:08being able to apply them, sometimes in real time during training.
00:36:13But what can they do here?
00:36:14And Zena trying to hoist up, couldn't overpower P-Nasty.
00:36:18Good reaction.
00:36:20That was good.
00:36:20Yep.
00:36:21That was a struggle there.
00:36:22And it was a near fall.
00:36:24Well, we're about to see what Zena is truly made of in this matchup
00:36:28because that lower back has been the target of P-Nasty since the beginning,
00:36:34since the first body slam that she threw to Zena Sterling.
00:36:38Well, certainly what we've seen from Zena Sterling is an evolution of sorts.
00:36:42We've seen the growth that's happened week after week.
00:36:45And you could say the same for Panina.
00:36:46The question is, how far will that growth go?
00:36:49And which legend will continue to coach them on their journey?
00:36:56Ooh.
00:36:56Nice and flush.
00:36:57Good.
00:36:58No cover.
00:36:59Off the sidewalk, slam, hook of the leg.
00:37:01And another near fall.
00:37:03And, you know, as we progress this, we talk about semifinals.
00:37:06There's only one match left here tonight on LFG.
00:37:08Has it gotten any easier to compete in front of these legends?
00:37:13I don't think so.
00:37:14If anything, it's gotten a lot tougher because the honeymoon period's over.
00:37:17Come on, Gina, fire up.
00:37:18Got a bump out of the net, girl.
00:37:20Come on, Panina.
00:37:23And as we've seen that progression, the legends, I think,
00:37:26have just gotten more comfortable but less patient
00:37:29because they want to see the results.
00:37:31They want to see that knowledge implemented.
00:37:34When we talk about firing up, stepping out of your comfort,
00:37:38that is what Zena Sterling was doing for a moment.
00:37:40Nobody home.
00:37:41Get up, girls.
00:37:42Get up, Panina.
00:37:43I need that put.
00:37:44I need it right here.
00:37:45A second time.
00:37:47What was the time?
00:37:48Big body slam.
00:37:50Into the cover.
00:37:51Still not enough.
00:37:53Zena can't believe it.
00:37:55LFG will be right back.
00:37:58From here.
00:37:58Welcome to Legends and Future Greats as Zena Sterling and P-Nasty are in the ring.
00:38:06Get up, girls.
00:38:07Get up, Panina.
00:38:07I need that put.
00:38:08Get up.
00:38:08I need it right here.
00:38:10A second time.
00:38:11What's the time?
00:38:13Big body slam.
00:38:14Into the cover.
00:38:16And a kick out.
00:38:17Getting that right shoulder up.
00:38:19Unbelievable moment in this match up here.
00:38:22Semi-finals of LFG.
00:38:24Who will go on to the finals next week?
00:38:27We're going to find out as eight become four at the end of this broadcast.
00:38:32And our legends have tough decisions to make.
00:38:34Who goes on to win that NXT contract?
00:38:37Right to the throat.
00:38:38And Panina making a statement.
00:38:42One, two, three.
00:38:44Picking up the victory.
00:38:48They did well.
00:38:49They did damn well.
00:38:52Zena answered a lot of questions in this match up.
00:38:56But P-Nasty in the end is the one with her hand raised.
00:38:59You can see her saying, this is my ring.
00:39:01They did damn well.
00:39:04Huge decision still to come.
00:39:06Who punches their ticket to the finals on LFG?
00:39:12That's right.
00:39:13That's what I'm talking about.
00:39:15Give me some.
00:39:17Damn good s***.
00:39:18That was you.
00:39:20Damn good job.
00:39:22Money.
00:39:23Excellent, Zena.
00:39:24Excellent.
00:39:25Thank you so much.
00:39:27Excellent.
00:39:28Good again, man.
00:39:29Awesome.
00:39:31Oh, my s***.
00:39:32Today has been crazy.
00:39:34Yeah.
00:39:34And I don't think I would have gotten through without Zena.
00:39:38Zena Sterling works for whoever she's in the ring with.
00:39:41And I will say that to the camera and say it on national television.
00:39:43I would not have made it through that match without Zena Sterling.
00:39:48Now we can breathe.
00:39:53Semi-finals continuing here on Legends and Future Greats.
00:39:58The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
00:40:04Introducing first, representing Team Undertaker from Northfield, New Hampshire, weighing in at 252 pounds, Shiloh Hill.
00:40:14Well, what a joy it's been to see this progression, this growth that we've seen each and every week from Shiloh Hill.
00:40:21How are you not tired just watching him run around?
00:40:23I'm out here catching wind right now.
00:40:25Well, this guy's an incredible athlete and really an interesting individual, as we've seen.
00:40:32Coached by The Undertaker.
00:40:34An evolution of sorts right before our very own eyes with Shiloh Hill.
00:40:38The ongoing feud, it continues.
00:40:44Yeah.
00:40:45Throughout the whole season.
00:40:46And his opponent, representing Team Vicki James from Rockaville, California, weighing in at 240 pounds, Chris Dayland.
00:41:00And these two were airing some dirty laundry earlier tonight, JB.
00:41:06And you look at Hill.
00:41:07Hill right now is ready to pounce.
00:41:08It got filthy.
00:41:10He got a little excited there.
00:41:11Bad blood, the war of words between Shiloh Hill and Chris Dayland earlier today, prior to this matchup.
00:41:20Makes you wonder how much bad blood we're going to see unfold before our very own eyes here.
00:41:25And obviously, bringing this up, it was brought up a little bit.
00:41:28It was touched on a little bit, but let's not forget early in the season.
00:41:32A matchup between Chris Dayland, a matchup between Shiloh Hill.
00:41:35Shiloh Hill knocked out cold.
00:41:38And that has to play on his mind.
00:41:40In the back of his mind somewhere, that moment still has to resonate with Shiloh Hill.
00:41:44It's interesting to think about that moment.
00:41:47A scary one here on LFG.
00:41:49Don't get me wrong, but he's been able to battle through all those odds, all that adversity,
00:41:53and find himself here in this moment one match away from the finals.
00:42:00And one match away from an NXT contract, a life-changing contract that'll put you right in the midst of the thick of things
00:42:06in the world of Shawn Michaels and NXT.
00:42:09And Chris Dayland, under the tutelage of Mickie James, has progressed so well.
00:42:13We've seen an evolution of sorts for him as well throughout the course of this broadcast and this season
00:42:18with his evolution and implementing that great amateur background, eight-time All-American, Chris Island.
00:42:23Nice.
00:42:24He's good with those.
00:42:25Eight-time All-American looking for a three, couldn't get it, staying right on top.
00:42:28A couple of fireman's carries.
00:42:29That was something, you know, when this season began, even when we first started meeting these athletes,
00:42:34a lot of smiles, a lot of happy to be here.
00:42:37And he has been molded by Mickie James into somebody who is carrying a lot of confidence into the ring.
00:42:44Every single time he steps into it, bringing that inner beast out as Chris Island has really found himself
00:42:49along this journey and continues to progress each and every time out.
00:42:53Set the table.
00:42:55Looks like that's what he wants to have.
00:42:57Yeah.
00:42:58There you go.
00:42:59Nothing like a handful of hair.
00:43:00Nobody cheats anymore.
00:43:02Love that.
00:43:03Shiloh Hill, in fact, said, wow, watching back of the very first episode of LFG is kind of embarrassing to him now
00:43:08because he's seen that grow personally.
00:43:10He's seen what he's progressed to.
00:43:12And where he's going.
00:43:15And Island charging right back in, looking for it.
00:43:18A second time, didn't work out, as well as the first.
00:43:21It dropped right across the throat.
00:43:23First.
00:43:24Big lariat.
00:43:27Cover.
00:43:28And Island able to kick out.
00:43:31Now you start to wonder what Mickie James, what The Undertaker, what Booker T, Bubble Ray,
00:43:36what everyone's thinking because now the semifinals are just about open.
00:43:41There you go.
00:43:43Don't let him out of the corner.
00:43:45There you go.
00:43:46Nice.
00:43:47Good heel.
00:43:48He looked just...
00:43:49Good selling.
00:43:51Shiloh is a good heel.
00:43:53We've seen the competition in the ring, but there's a lot of competition amongst the legends as well.
00:43:59Undertaker, one of the most competitive individuals in the history of WWE, both in and out of the ring.
00:44:04Enjoyed it.
00:44:05Look at his face.
00:44:05These legends have implemented their knowledge to try and grow the future of this industry.
00:44:10That's a great way of putting it.
00:44:11And when you take a look at all these athletes that have been a part, even the ones that have been eliminated,
00:44:16the ones that are still here, the future is indeed bright in the WWE.
00:44:21Well, anybody that walks through the doors of the Performance Center realizes that very quickly,
00:44:25with the amount of great talent walking through these doors and being developed on a daily basis.
00:44:30Oh!
00:44:31As you feel the contact of that clothesline in a kickout by Chris Island,
00:44:37who's trying to shake those cobwebs free, what a clothesline that was from Hill.
00:44:42And Hill right now is applying the pressure, keeping his foot on the gas.
00:44:46And you just start to wonder, is he remembering what Chris Island said earlier today?
00:44:51Nice.
00:44:51Nice!
00:44:53That was pretty.
00:44:54Good call on that.
00:44:55There you go.
00:44:56There you go.
00:44:56Look, good show.
00:44:58Oh, she likes the performance show.
00:45:03And Hill.
00:45:06With that smile across his face.
00:45:08Confidence oozing, but is it taking too much time?
00:45:11I'm assuming The Undertaker is not going to like this.
00:45:13Well, certainly real-time feedback from The Undertaker.
00:45:15Very interesting.
00:45:18Oh, took too much time.
00:45:19Shoulder right into that middle turnbuckle.
00:45:21And you got to wonder how the pain shoot through Hill's body.
00:45:24You got to wonder what The Undertaker's thinking after seeing that.
00:45:26Because Chris Island right now, from behind, shoulders are down in a near fall.
00:45:31This is the moment for Island to get back in this matchup,
00:45:34showcase that amateur ability one more.
00:45:36Time!
00:45:37The Promise Child in there with Shiloh Hill.
00:45:39The finals coming up next week of Legends and Future Greats.
00:45:42Who will be the man to emerge?
00:45:45You know app.
00:45:49Welcome back to LFG.
00:45:51It's Shiloh Hill and Chris Island are fighting for a spot in the finals.
00:45:57He wanted to get up.
00:45:58He wants to make that comeback.
00:46:01He wants that comeback.
00:46:02So quick, he wants that.
00:46:07Island trying to rally in this match.
00:46:09Again, it's not about wins.
00:46:10It's not about losses.
00:46:12It's about connecting with that audience.
00:46:14Oh, come on!
00:46:17Yeah.
00:46:17And Chris Island is doing that right now.
00:46:19Take the words right out of my mouth.
00:46:20Another big body slam.
00:46:22Trying to follow back up.
00:46:24Going back to that average.
00:46:26Oh!
00:46:27A little bit of a payback.
00:46:28Go first.
00:46:29This time goes Hill.
00:46:30Shiloh was able to block that.
00:46:32Shiloh was able to block that, but didn't block the high cross body.
00:46:35Into the cover.
00:46:36Nice.
00:46:37Sorry, they got it back.
00:46:38They got it back.
00:46:38Left shoulder just getting off the mat.
00:46:43See the eyes of Island right now.
00:46:45He is focused in on Hill.
00:46:47Well, Shiloh Hill's a bit of a wild card.
00:46:49I think anybody would tell you that.
00:46:50Chris Island seems to have his act together, but I would say has a short fuse.
00:46:57And lets it out in the ring.
00:47:02Oh, no!
00:47:03What a knee that connected right to the neck.
00:47:05And now, center of the ring.
00:47:08High impact offense from Hill, who picks up the win.
00:47:16Here is your winner, Shiloh Hill.
00:47:20Big win for Shiloh Hill.
00:47:23Big win for The Undertaker.
00:47:24Both men showing up.
00:47:26I think our kids did better today.
00:47:28Oh, yes.
00:47:28Definitely.
00:47:28I'm not being biased.
00:47:30No, no, no.
00:47:31I think they definitely did.
00:47:32Yeah.
00:47:32Who will emerge and go on?
00:47:35To the finals next week.
00:47:37We are about to find out.
00:47:39Lightening in the middle of the sky.
00:47:47Mmm!
00:47:48How's it going?
00:47:49Good to have you?
00:47:49I don't know, man.
00:47:50That was fun, huh?
00:47:52That difference in your face.
00:47:54Great.
00:47:55Good, man.
00:47:57Got a little loose on the end with a couple of spots, but you guys told a great story,
00:48:02man.
00:48:02A lot of energy.
00:48:03Your comeback.
00:48:05Taking the moments.
00:48:06Made it, like, that was a longer match.
00:48:08I wasn't even blowing until after.
00:48:09At all, yeah.
00:48:10Yeah.
00:48:11I would say, yeah.
00:48:12That was nice.
00:48:13Really well done.
00:48:14That was good as s***, bro.
00:48:15We got that, dog.
00:48:17We got that, bro.
00:48:18You guys have good chemistry, too.
00:48:20We both have good chemistry together.
00:48:21Good job, baby.
00:48:22Good job.
00:48:23Good job.
00:48:24Yeah.
00:48:26Absolutely.
00:48:26Nice job.
00:48:27Be proud of that.
00:48:28Yeah.
00:48:35Now that the semifinal matches have concluded, the time has come to determine tonight's standouts.
00:48:43Legends, we've seen some incredible LFG semifinal matches here today, and what a journey it's
00:48:50been thus far.
00:48:51But I want you to take a good long look at the eight future greats you see here before
00:48:57you, because at the end of today, only four will remain.
00:49:03But before we get to eliminations, right now it's time to award some points for the best
00:49:07standout female and standout male of the day.
00:49:11I'm going to start with you, Booker T.
00:49:14Tyra and Danny, you guys did a good job.
00:49:17You really did a good job.
00:49:18But there's a lot you guys still need to work on.
00:49:22If I'm being honest, the person that I got to go with that is doing everything right
00:49:28and I can see her mind is working is Zena.
00:49:33All of you should be extremely proud of yourselves, the work that you've put in.
00:49:38I can honestly flip a coin.
00:49:41That's how close it is.
00:49:42But my point goes to Tyra.
00:49:49It's really difficult to choose any one of you, but I always believe that being a babyface
00:49:55is one of the hardest jobs in that ring.
00:50:00For that reason, I'm going to give my point to Danny.
00:50:04Thank you, Coach McDaniel.
00:50:05Tyra and Danny, you guys had a really, really good match, but I was struggling to find what
00:50:14the match was about.
00:50:16Benina, I have to ask you a question.
00:50:18In your match, who deserves the point?
00:50:23I think I deserve the point.
00:50:25I love Zena.
00:50:26Great person to work with.
00:50:28But I'm going to stand with myself every time.
00:50:31I deserve the point.
00:50:32Every match needs a good leader.
00:50:34Every match needs a good follower.
00:50:36And last night, Zena was helping you get through that match.
00:50:41And for those reasons, I'm giving my point to Zena.
00:50:45I can live with that.
00:50:48Congratulations.
00:50:48Zena is the standout female.
00:50:50Now it's time to find out who the standout male is.
00:50:54Booker T, spin this sumbitch up.
00:50:56You guys, you guys did a good job.
00:51:00But the person that checked off every box for me is Jasper Troy.
00:51:06You know, Jasper is the guy.
00:51:08Jasper is the standout in this whole thing.
00:51:11Since day one.
00:51:12But we're talking about the matches.
00:51:14That's what we're talking about.
00:51:15That's what we're trying to give the point.
00:51:16No, no, no.
00:51:17I'm giving my point to Jasper because Jasper was the most complete wrestler in this whole thing.
00:51:25That's why Jasper Troy gets the vote.
00:51:31Jasper, you know I've been a big fan of yours.
00:51:33I voted for you on many occasions through this integrity of the game.
00:51:38Based on today, my vote goes to Shiloh.
00:51:42Chris, you would have been my second choice.
00:51:46And Jasper, you'd have been my third.
00:51:47And I hope you appreciate that honesty because I've supported you the whole time.
00:51:51Integrity of the game.
00:51:52Integrity of the game.
00:51:53Wow.
00:51:53Exactly.
00:51:54Wow.
00:51:54Wow.
00:51:54I'm basing it on the matches that I just watched.
00:51:57Wow.
00:51:58And the fact that you could even, even throw that bull out there.
00:52:04I'm talking about who won.
00:52:05The person you put on television.
00:52:06I'm talking about who won the point for today's performance.
00:52:11I love one today.
00:52:12I have no idea what Booker was watching because that by far was the best match of the four.
00:52:17It wasn't even close.
00:52:19Mickie James, please get some order in this court.
00:52:21It is hot in here.
00:52:22I am overwhelmed.
00:52:24I don't think it was y'all's best performance.
00:52:28Do you think it was the best match you've had?
00:52:30I could only do so much.
00:52:32I'm just being honest.
00:52:34I'm just being honest.
00:52:34I just want to make sure I understood what you said.
00:52:37I can only do so much by what I was given.
00:52:42I respect this business enough to be honest with the people that step into the ring with me.
00:52:46That type of honesty should be shared with him face to face behind closed doors.
00:52:51You asked him a question.
00:52:52No, no, no, no, no, Book.
00:52:54If anybody is going to bury him and he deserves to be buried from day one because he sucks.
00:53:01It's us, not you.
00:53:05Mickie James, your vote, please.
00:53:07I'm going to go with my guy.
00:53:08Chris, you get my vote.
00:53:10I want you to know that I see you and you did a hell of a job.
00:53:14Bubba Ray, can you reel this in for us, please?
00:53:18Oh, boy.
00:53:21He's dragging us.
00:53:22Bubba Ray, can you reel this in for us, please?
00:53:26Oh, boy.
00:53:31I'm standing in front of you because I know how bad you want it.
00:53:34You want this more than anybody else here.
00:53:38Most definitely.
00:53:38I understand that.
00:53:40But you, unfortunately, were not in the ring with somebody who could bring the best out of you.
00:53:46I wanted to give my vote to Jasper, but I couldn't because Jasper had to work with a guy that did not compliment him as well.
00:53:57Their match was not nearly as good as Chris Island and Shiloh Hill.
00:54:02You've had your issues in the past.
00:54:05I think you've grown from them.
00:54:07I think you're doing really, really well.
00:54:09Continue on that path.
00:54:11Yes, sir.
00:54:11You've impressed me from day one.
00:54:13You took that shoulder tackle in the corner and the way you bounced out of the corner and you sold it all the way across the ring.
00:54:19And you used that whole ring to show that one little moment in time.
00:54:24You got my vote.
00:54:28Congratulations, Shiloh.
00:54:29You are the standout for the men in the semifinals.
00:54:32The day's points have been awarded.
00:54:37And next week, one of these legendary coaches will be presented their very first LFG championship.
00:54:44But first, it's time to see which future greats will be moving on to the finals to compete for an NXT contract.
00:54:51For some of you, a chapter may close and you determine whether another one opens.
00:54:58So inevitably, legends, it comes down to you.
00:55:02Who stays and who goes?
00:55:06Danny.
00:55:08Tyra May, please step forward.
00:55:11Booker T.
00:55:13What do you say?
00:55:18Danny goes home.
00:55:21All right, take.
00:55:23What say you?
00:55:26You two haunted me all season long.
00:55:32Danny goes home.
00:55:36You ladies are so amazing.
00:55:39Or you really are.
00:55:40If I'm going to base it on who I would want on my television screen tomorrow and who I think is the most ready, I'd send you home, Tyra.
00:55:48Because you're an Olympic gold medalist, and I wouldn't want you on my television until you're ready to be champion.
00:55:54And right now, you're not ready to be a champion.
00:55:59Sorry, Danny.
00:56:01You go home.
00:56:03I just want to say thank you to all the legends.
00:56:16I've learned so much in such a short period of time, and I'm so grateful.
00:56:21This is the beginning for me, and that's all it is for me.
00:56:24So you'll be seeing a lot more.
00:56:31I'm not going anywhere.
00:56:32I'll be here for a long time because I know I'm one of one.
00:56:36Whatever I have to do, I will do it.
00:56:39Please step forward, B.J. Ray and Jasper Choi.
00:56:51All right.
00:56:52Isn't that time for the men?
00:56:54Booker is going home.
00:56:58Why are you drawing this up?
00:57:01What?
00:57:03B.J., your ass is going home.
00:57:05Obviously, B.J. riding Booker glazes Jasper up and, you know, tries to steer ways and directions and thoughts.
00:57:14Kind of like a commentary team trying to steer the fight in Jasper's direction.
00:57:18When in all reality, he didn't recognize any of my attributes because he's blinded by his personal bias.
00:57:24When you get out of your own way, you can have a very, very bright future in this business.
00:57:29But you should use this as motivation.
00:57:32B.J., you're going home.
00:57:33Personally, I didn't really care what any of them had to say.
00:57:37This whole time, I haven't really cared.
00:57:38To be honest, like, if anyone paid attention, they all know who the star of the show was and who puts the ass in seats.
00:57:44Throughout the season, you've probably been the most talked about.
00:57:46But you've still got a lot to learn.
00:57:48Jasper is the most ready to go.
00:57:50So, I'm going to have to send you home.
00:57:51All righty, Bubba.
00:57:56Kind of, uh, maybe moot at this point, but, uh, obviously one of your team members, so.
00:58:02I could have been the deciding factor.
00:58:07My three fellow legends have decided to tell B.J. that he's going home.
00:58:13And I say that with a big old s*** bean grin on my face.
00:58:17The same grin that you've been grinning since day one, B.J.
00:58:22Best of luck in your future endeavors.
00:58:27You go home.
00:58:30Just want to say some things to the legends real quick.
00:58:33With DuPixen.
00:58:35Just want to say some things to the legends real quick.
00:58:38First, Mickey.
00:58:40Thank you so much for everything.
00:58:43Taker.
00:58:43You've been the only one that's come up to me off camera several times.
00:58:47And asked me about my shoulder and how it's doing.
00:58:49So, that meant a lot.
00:58:51Booker.
00:58:53Yeah, man.
00:58:55I think sometimes you're blinded by your personal bias.
00:58:58Uh, Bubba.
00:58:59I think you are the worst coach of all time.
00:59:02And if you ever, ever touch me again, I will absolutely end you so fast.
00:59:09Thank you, Sean, for everything.
00:59:10I can't wait to make you a lot of money.
00:59:12And I'm going to be a greater superstar than you have ever seen.
00:59:14Peace out, brother.
00:59:14Yeah.
00:59:14Be good.
00:59:15OC for life.
00:59:16Yeah.
00:59:17I made you relevant again, Bubba.
00:59:20I'll see you out there.
00:59:20They weren't even talking about you.
00:59:22They weren't even talking about you.
00:59:24I made you relevant again, you old fossil.
00:59:26You go get him, baby.
00:59:26Yeah, you fossil.
00:59:28Go get him, baby.
00:59:29Go get him.
00:59:29You fossil, bruh.
00:59:33Bubba, you know, he's just a miserable old man.
00:59:36He's a depressed old man.
00:59:37He hates to see a young buck like me thriving.
00:59:39If you're going to talk s*** in this business,
00:59:42if you're going to run your mouth,
00:59:44you better be able to back it up.
00:59:47BJ Ray can't back it up.
00:59:51Ladies, please step forward.
00:59:53Panina and Xena.
00:59:57Ladies, great, great, great job.
01:00:00You should be standing in front of us.
01:00:03Xena, you have earned every right to move forward.
01:00:07So I choose you to stay.
01:00:10PNASA, you have come out of your shell.
01:00:12You have so much personality.
01:00:14I'm just like blown away.
01:00:16But Xena, you have busted your ass and you've blown me away.
01:00:19Also, you are far more advanced than you should be at this level in the game.
01:00:23So I'm going to have to say, Xena, you can stay.
01:00:27Sorry, Panina.
01:00:28Panina, you have no idea how big a fan I am of yours.
01:00:32And the sky is the limit for you.
01:00:35Xena, at the start of this thing,
01:00:37I just look at Bubba and like,
01:00:41what on earth is she doing here?
01:00:44You proved why.
01:00:45Xena, congratulations.
01:00:47You've earned this trip to the finals.
01:00:51I mean, we already got three votes.
01:00:54But like was said earlier, just let this fuel you.
01:00:57Maybe going home, but you're going to be around for a very, very long time.
01:01:01Xena, congratulations.
01:01:02Thank you so much.
01:01:03Fa-fi-tai, fa-fi-tai, fa-fi-tai lava.
01:01:09So many thanks.
01:01:11I got to work with four amazing legends.
01:01:14And I hope to make all four of you guys proud.
01:01:16Thank you guys so much.
01:01:26There's really no losing for me.
01:01:28Because I already come from nothing.
01:01:30I already had nothing walking into this building.
01:01:31And so, to me, it's a win.
01:01:40Gentlemen, Shiloh, Chris, please step forward.
01:01:47Chris, you have impressed down the stretch.
01:01:52But Shiloh, you've been impressing me from day one.
01:01:54So, Shiloh, you stay.
01:01:57Y'all's story has run the whole season of LFG.
01:02:02And I envision you two working five years down the road.
01:02:05But this is going to be a rivalry for the ages, I think.
01:02:08Shiloh, I think of all the people here, you have the most layers to your personality.
01:02:14And for that, Shiloh, you'll be staying.
01:02:19This is really difficult for me because I'm a big fan of you both.
01:02:23I have to make the right business decision, though, here, as far as who's the most ready.
01:02:28Which doesn't do me any favors because that just pretty much puts me out this competition.
01:02:33But it looks like you and I are going home.
01:02:36We'll do it together.
01:02:40I mean, Chris, you know I like you.
01:02:42You know that, right?
01:02:45You got a hell of a future.
01:02:46I think you did a great job.
01:02:48But Shiloh, you got something.
01:02:50In saying that, you move on.
01:02:52You move on.
01:02:53Chris, like I said, you may be going home, but this is just the beginning.
01:02:56Thank you, guys.
01:02:57Seriously.
01:02:58Mickey, I want to thank you for just putting your arms around me and believing in me.
01:03:01Because that's all I've ever needed since I was a kid.
01:03:03And not a lot of people know that.
01:03:05So I appreciate it.
01:03:06And like I promised this company when I first got here, I will be one of the greatest champions that they've ever seen.
01:03:12That is a promise.
01:03:13And I'm going to keep it.
01:03:15My God, man.
01:03:21Chris Hyland isn't done believing in himself.
01:03:23He isn't done working.
01:03:25And he isn't done climbing towards what he said.
01:03:27I said I would be the greatest champion this company has ever seen.
01:03:31And I'm going to make sure it happens.
01:03:35All right, legends and future greats, here we are, down to two matches.
01:03:43The finals are set at the number one media capital of the world, New York City.
01:03:49The theater at Madison Square Garden, you all will have the opportunity to put your working shoes on and go out there and show the world who you are.
01:04:06Congratulations.
01:04:07Next time on LFG.
01:04:16Talk to them.
01:04:17Let's go.
01:04:18Tonight, here at the Historic Theater of Madison.
01:04:20And one woman will walk away as a new member of the NXT roster.
01:04:26The person that's going to receive an NXT contract is.
