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?
00:15:53What have I done with my life?
00:15:55What have I done with my life?
00:15:56I have a gold medal sitting at home too, but I don't use it to ride myself through this career.
00:16:00And what have you done?
00:16:02What have you done?
00:16:03She just told you that her gold medal is a champion for life.
00:16:07What is your gold medal?
00:16:08What is your gold medal?
00:16:09What is your gold medal in?
00:16:10I'm a world champion.
00:16:12I am a two-time world champion and an Olympic gold medalist.
00:16:17And I know it.
00:16:18Just because you are a freaking gold medalist does not make you the right to stay up in here with me.
00:16:24All right?
00:16:25Gold medalist or not, I made it known that I represent this country.
00:16:30I look at you and I see a wannabe Cowboys cheerleader.
00:16:33So you can take your behind and you can go somewhere else.
00:16:35Wannabe, but I was already on that stage, girlfriend.
00:16:37But you kind of don't got her behind.
00:16:38So I'm going to show you as I walk away.
00:16:40Okay.
00:16:43Body 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.
00:16:49I'm body shame all day.
00:16:51There ain't no rules when you're a heel.
00:16:52Hear what she said?
00:16:53I'm a heel.
00:16:54Told you she was.
00:16:55You're all buying this babyface bull .
00:16:58She hates everybody.
00:17:03She's taking it too serious.
00:17:05She's not there crying.
00:17:07She looked at me in the face and basically told me, one, I was worth nothing.
00:17:12And two, I can't do something.
00:17:14So that's where I come in and say, well, then I'm just going to have to do it.
00:17:18Welcome in ringside.
00:17:19Vic Joseph alongside Jeremy Boras.
00:17:20You can feel the energy because it is a big night here on LFG.
00:17:21Certainly as Vic tonight, the semifinals of Legends and Future Greats.
00:17:22The 16 became eight.
00:17:23Tonight, we're going to narrow it down to four.
00:17:24Who will go on to the finals and ultimately end up with an NXT contract?
00:17:25We're kicking things off right now.
00:17:32The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
00:17:33Introducing first, representing, Team Undertaker.
00:17:34From Houston, Texas, Tyra Mae Smith.
00:17:38and ultimately end up with an NXT contract.
00:17:41We're kicking things off right now.
00:17:47The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
00:17:50Introducing first, representing Team Undertaker.
00:17:54From Houston, Texas, Tyra Mae Smith.
00:18:01Let's talk about this opening contest
00:18:03because we're looking at an Olympian.
00:18:05You see the gold medal.
00:18:07She is looking to bury her opponent six feet under.
00:18:12Well, we've certainly seen The Undertaker's influence
00:18:14on Tyra Mae's deal since the get-go.
00:18:16This 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 to compete in the finals
00:18:29next week here on LMG.
00:18:37And her opponent, representing Team Mickie James
00:18:42from Stanford, Connecticut, Danny Sekielski.
00:18:47That's one of your favorites, JV.
00:18:49The Spitfire of LMG.
00:18:51Danny Sekielski held her own.
00:18:53We saw that verbal spat, that verbal warfare earlier,
00:18:57right before this matchup, leading into this match.
00:19:00And certainly as we saw, no words were held back
00:19:03from Danny Sekielski and no words held back
00:19:05from Tyra Mae Steele.
00:19:07These two know what is at stake, their careers on the line
00:19:10and their future in the balance.
00:19:13Here on the semifinals in the playoffs
00:19:16of Legends and Future Greats, here we go.
00:19:19Now you had brought up the very first LFG.
00:19:22We've talked about this a few times.
00:19:24Nice take down into the cover hook of the leg.
00:19:26Two victories for Steele over Danny,
00:19:29but it's not all about wins here on LFG.
00:19:32Certainly one can argue that Tyra Mae Steele
00:19:34with the most accomplished background on the program,
00:19:36obviously Olympic gold medal, speaks for itself.
00:19:38Let's not forget though, Danny Sekielski,
00:19:40a champion in her own right, dedicated to her craft,
00:19:43a world champion cheerleader.
00:19:46Obviously different genres, different backgrounds,
00:19:49different styles, bringing something different to the table.
00:19:52Now we're going to see the legends.
00:19:55Damn.
00:19:57She doesn't know her own strength.
00:19:58She's so strong.
00:19:59She's so strong.
00:20:00And Danny's so tiny.
00:20:02As you see, Mickie James and The Undertaker
00:20:04have had so much investment into these two individuals.
00:20:07How will it play out and who will ultimately come out on top?
00:20:10We will find out who 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 on 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.
00:20:36But Steele turning things right back around.
00:20:39Up over.
00:20:40Pace is starting to quicken.
00:20:41High cross body cover.
00:20:42Hook of the leg in the near fall.
00:20:43One thing that we got to talk about with Legends and Future Greats.
00:20:46The experience we've seen.
00:20:47The knowledge passed on by the Legends.
00:20:49Nice.
00:20:50Implemented into their matches as we're seeing here.
00:20:51The feedback in real time as it happens.
00:20:53But one thing that this show has done for these 16 individuals that have taken place,
00:20:58and been a part of LFG, is they are now so much more comfortable in front of a camera.
00:21:03And ask any performer, ask anyone in this industry, that is so important.
00:21:07When that red light is on, you need to know to go.
00:21:10Get that leg.
00:21:11Get that leg.
00:21:12There you go.
00:21:13Get up that leg.
00:21:16You said a lot there, and a lot of it rings true.
00:21:18And if you're right now sitting in the back, and you're the undertaker,
00:21:21and you're watching Steele systematically dissect your opponent,
00:21:24the question I have to you though, JB, has Steele lived up to the hype thus far?
00:21:29Well, Steele has been certainly an interesting point of contention for many.
00:21:32Oh!
00:21:33Nice.
00:21:34Nice.
00:21:35I wish she had done it towards hard cam, but not there yet.
00:21:39We're not there yet.
00:21:41She's got good instinct.
00:21:43They both do.
00:21:45Oh, look at Steele.
00:21:47Maybe looking for a stretch muffler, looking for the submission.
00:21:51Wow.
00:21:52Look at the strength alone on this.
00:21:54I don't necessarily know if the body is supposed to contort that way,
00:21:57but a counter, a cover, and a kick out.
00:21:59Go back to between these two.
00:22:01Oh, wait a minute.
00:22:02There's the quickness coming into play.
00:22:03Another near fall in this matchup.
00:22:06These two have had a little bit of a war of words between one another.
00:22:13There you go.
00:22:14Nice.
00:22:15Nice.
00:22:16No applause between Danny Sikalski and Tyra Mae Steele in this matchup.
00:22:20And knowing what's on the line, knowing that one of these two individuals...
00:22:24Wow!
00:22:25Tyra Mae Steele.
00:22:26That was innovative.
00:22:27Really taking apart the leg of Danny Sikalski.
00:22:30Knowing that so much is at stake, these two are...
00:22:33Into the cover, hook of the leg, and a kick out.
00:22:36The Undertaker and said, you know what?
00:22:37This is someone who wanted to use my signature move.
00:22:39I want you to go out there and punish her.
00:22:42My hip would pop right off.
00:22:47I think Undertaker realized that Danny Sikalski went about it the right way via Michelle McCool's advice.
00:22:53At the same time, being able to implement that finishing maneuver, the Hell's Gate to success,
00:22:58has been the real, I think, success story for that.
00:23:01And Undertaker is appreciative of that.
00:23:03A couple of kicks to the shoulder.
00:23:04Able to back Steele off.
00:23:05Wait a minute.
00:23:06Inside cradle!
00:23:07And another near fall.
00:23:08Steele just able to kick out.
00:23:11And this matchup has been really one-sided.
00:23:13Steele has been focusing on the lower body, but now that background coming into play.
00:23:17The former Tennessee Titan cheerleader.
00:23:19The former Big Ten standout at Penn State University.
00:23:23Sporting her Nittany Lion colors tonight.
00:23:26Trying to rally in this matchup.
00:23:29Can Danny get back in this?
00:23:31When LFG returns.
00:23:36How much does Cody have left?
00:23:38Triple H at stake!
00:23:39Certain scene you will never forget.
00:23:42WWE's greatest moments.
00:23:44New episode.
00:23:45Only at the Home Depot.
00:23:48We're back on LFG.
00:23:49And Danny is rallying against Steele.
00:23:53Good 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.
00:24:02She 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.
00:24:12Nice.
00:24:13Oh.
00:24:14Steele has been running left with that leg.
00:24:18She's been told be aggressive.
00:24:20She's been told to go out there and be fired up.
00:24:22And she's certainly showcasing that tonight.
00:24:25One more time up.
00:24:26Wait.
00:24:27Danny over.
00:24:28Counter able to roll through.
00:24:29Steele able to answer right back.
00:24:30Getting run on top.
00:24:31And wait a minute.
00:24:32Hell's Gate.
00:24:33Oh.
00:24:34The Undertaker's move.
00:24:35And The Undertaker's star pupil.
00:24:37Cast the tap to The Hell's Gate.
00:24:40Wow.
00:24:41Nice.
00:24:42That was really slick.
00:24:43And the people.
00:24:44Look.
00:24:45Look.
00:24:46They can't believe it.
00:24:47What?
00:24:48Imagine Danny Sikalski using The Hell's Gate Submission Maneuver to finish off Tyra May Steele,
00:24:56the prized pupil of The Undertaker.
00:24:59What a turn of events.
00:25:00But was it enough to impress the judges?
00:25:04Wow, they had a good match.
00:25:05That was great.
00:25:08Thank you for letting her use that, by the way.
00:25:10That was awesome.
00:25:13I never went into it that smoothly.
00:25:15I don't know about that.
00:25:18Yeah, that was good.
00:25:24Thank you very much.
00:25:29I'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.
00:25:42I definitely was aggressive.
00:25:44And everybody was feeling what we were trying to portray.
00:25:48What do you think?
00:25:50Aside from me, like, not putting everything in the right spot,
00:25:54I still had, I still had the aggression that 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?
00:26:09Yeah.
00:26:10It was so good.
00:26:11The first match, y'all come a long, y'all come a long way.
00:26:14It was good.
00:26:15B.J.
00:26:16Have a good match.
00:26:17Thank you, Coach.
00:26:18Appreciate it.
00:26:19Go do something.
00:26:20Yes, sir.
00:26:21A.
00:26:22A.
00:26:23Well, I have been told, and I don't know if this is true or not, because it came from
00:26:26B.J.
00:26:27Ray.
00:26:28He said you two have been tearing up the town before LFG.
00:26:31That is incorrect.
00:26:32I should have known better than to believe him, right?
00:26:34You do not believe a word he says.
00:26:35Introducing first, representing Team Wolverine from Corona, California, weighing at 240 pounds,
00:26:42B.J.
00:26:44Ray.
00:26:45B.J.
00:26:46Ray, entering this matchup, making it all the way to the semi-finals, but has a big,
00:26:59tough man as his opponent.
00:27:02And his opponent, representing Team Booker T, from Huffman, Texas, weighing at 340 pounds,
00:27:11Jasper Troy.
00:27:14He already looks like the baddest mother trucker here, so that's the best entrance I've seen
00:27:25him have.
00:27:26That looks ominous.
00:27:28That looks scary.
00:27:31And he looks like the real frickin' deal.
00:27:33He does.
00:27:34This is somebody who has really taken to the coaching, has taken to the legends.
00:27:42And it's been seen not only on camera, in the ring, but also off camera, when no one's
00:27:48watching.
00:27:49The kid don't know when to lay out on anything.
00:27:52No, he doesn't.
00:27:53He don't know when to lay out on anything.
00:27:55Yeah.
00:27:56Obviously saying a lot without saying a word.
00:28:01That's what Jasper Troy does in the ring, and of course, out of the ring as well.
00:28:06And we'll get Troy quickly turning things around, monster body slam.
00:28:10And this is somebody, if you go back to week one, if you go back to his arrival, getting
00:28:14the knees up as Ray, he 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.
00:28:25But what we've seen him do behind the microphone, I mean dismembering CM Punk.
00:28:30How 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.
00:28:37This is your time.
00:28:38Just take your time.
00:28:39When you left earlier, this is exactly what we went over, taking his time.
00:28:44B.J. Ray at a disadvantage, injured on the third episode of LFG.
00:28:48This is a little bit better.
00:28:49He's doing a little slower.
00:28:51Much of the season, he was on the shelf.
00:28:53Obviously getting the opportunity to come back, replacing Cutler in that final opportunity
00:28:58to win back his spot on the team, and what is this?
00:29:01Well, 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.
00:29:08B.J. Ray has already been in a high-stakes matchup.
00:29:11He'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.
00:29:24But Jasper Troy, the pride and joy of Booker T and Team Booker in a position now
00:29:30to land some offense on B.J. Ray.
00:29:32Come on, put your hands up.
00:29:33Open up.
00:29:34There 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.
00:29:39Ray coming right back in.
00:29:41And this is that amateur background, ACC standout, University of Duke.
00:29:46I've tried my best to put him in the best position I possibly can do tonight.
00:29:50But he's just rushing every damn thing.
00:29:54And I'm not just saying that.
00:29:56Like, take your time here, bro.
00:29:59You know what's crazy?
00:30:01We've seen a lot of amateur wrestlers come in.
00:30:04He's not picking it up nearly as quick as all of the others.
00:30:08And I thought for a second maybe Ray would lock in some sort of key lock when he was going into submission.
00:30:14He's trying now to apply a submission to the left arm, trying to hyperextend the left elbow.
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 down to four at the end of the program.
00:30:36And we are going to find out who heads to the finals of season one LFG.
00:30:41What power!
00:30:42What strength!
00:30:43By Jasper Troy!
00:30:44Unbelievable!
00:30:45Good enough for the people to react.
00:30:48Yeah.
00:30:49High enough for the people to react.
00:30:50He asked Booker anything about life.
00:30:52About the gym.
00:30:53About what it takes to be the man.
00:30:56How to stand out.
00:30:57Jasper doing everything right here tonight, man.
00:31:00Jasper's just better.
00:31:01He's just better.
00:31:02Yes!
00:31:04Yes!
00:31:05Two very different journeys for BJ Ray and Jasper Troy to get to this point.
00:31:09The semifinals of Legends of Future Ray.
00:31:11Very different journeys.

00:32:11he has the size he has impressed everyone with his ability to take coaching critiques
00:32:18he's victorious he's jasper troy but was it enough to impress the decision makers here
00:32:25on lfg
00:32:28what a night it's been we're already halfway through the semi-finals and of course we're seeing the
00:32:35matches right now team booker team bubba it's going to be an incredible matchup here we go
00:32:41on legends and future greats
00:32:52the following contest is scheduled for one fall
00:32:55introducing first representing team
00:32:57from lbf ukraine there you go right here this is golden goose
00:33:03that's even better than meal ticket the golden goose
00:33:07personality out of this world for zina sterling drive ambition you name it she's got it carries
00:33:21herself with the work ethic of a veteran
00:33:24and her opponent representing team booker team from seattle washington
00:33:36i need a twin
00:33:39oh that right there was just that little transition right there
00:33:45most know her simply as p nasty
00:33:49well an online favorite certainly we've seen the internet audience get behind p nasty in a very short time
00:33:58come on girls steal the show
00:34:00come on atta girl zina
00:34:02atta girl zina
00:34:04we talk about halfway through the semi-finals here tonight on lfg you know jb remind us
00:34:13at the end of season one what is the winner get
00:34:19wow we're gonna see one with an nxt contract one male one female both courtesy of the heartbreak
00:34:27kid sean michaelson that's so much at stake that'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 sterling right now trying to navigate her way down she did
00:34:42trying to take down
00:34:44couldn't do it
00:34:45that's that vertical base of p nasty
00:34:47well 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
00:34:54p nasty taking a different route obviously we've seen a serious route for zina sterling
00:35:00the question is who has grown the most who has the most opportunity who brings the most to the table
00:35:06she watches wrestling when she goes home
00:35:14look at this look at this
00:35:17and they're trying to get a crucifix style pin
00:35:19into the cover to kick out
00:35:20booker t taking great exception to the coaching of bubba rain of course that's been a well pretty much
00:35:26the entire season here on lfg but today especially that coaching or whatever that was that bubba
00:35:32gave to zina sterling on that promo battle earlier certainly ignited a fuse in booker t and
00:35:38panina good action now rushing taking her time
00:35:42well panina in control is someone you
00:35:46p nasty they call her p nasty for a reason she carries herself very quietly very ominous it's one of those people you just don't want to mess with
00:35:54whereas zina sterling kind of the opposite bubbly personal very friendly
00:35:59p 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 but what can they do here in
00:36:14zina trying to hoist up couldn't overpower panina
00:36:18good reaction
00:36:18oh that was good
00:36:20yep
00:36:21that was a struggle there
00:36:22and it was a near fall
00:36:23well we're about to see what zina is truly made of
00:36:27in this matchup because that lower back has been the target
00:36:31of p nasty since the beginning
00:36:34since the first body slam that she threw to zina sterling
00:36:38well certainly what we've seen from zina sterling
00:36:40is an evolution of sorts we've seen the growth that's happened week after week and
00:36:45you could say the same for panina
00:36:46the question is how far will that growth go and
00:36:49which legend
00:36:50will continue to coach them on their journey
00:36:53oh
00:36:56nice and flush good
00:36:58no cover
00:36:58off the sidewalk slam hook of the leg
00:37:01and another near fall and you know as we've progressed this you can talk about semi-finals
00:37:06there's only one match left here tonight on lfg
00:37:08has it gotten any easier
00:37:10to compete in front of these legends
00:37:12i don't think so if anything it's gotten a lot tougher because the honeymoon period's over
00:37:17come on zina fire up
00:37:18you got a bump out of that girl
00:37:20come on
00:37:21come on panina
00:37:23and as we've seen that progression the legends i think have just gotten more comfortable but less patient because they want to see the results
00:37:30they want to see that knowledge implemented
00:37:33when we talk about firing up stepping out of your comfort that is what zina sterling was doing for a moment nobody home
00:37:41get up girls get up
00:37:44i need it right here
00:37:48big body slam

00:39:58the following contest is scheduled for one fall introducing first representing team undertaker from northfield new hampshire wing and at 252 pounds shiloh hill
00:40:09well what a joy it's been to see this progression this growth that we've seen each and every week from shiloh hill how are you not tired just watching him run around i'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
00:40:33coached by the undertaker
00:40:34and evolution of sorts right before our very own eyes with shiloh hill
00:40:39this is not a game
00:40:40there's nothing to it but to do it you feel me
00:40:42the ongoing feud it continues
00:40:44yeah throughout the whole season
00:40:46and his opponent representing team vickie james
00:40:53from rockville california weighing at 240 pounds
00:40:57it's chris
00:40:59and these two were airing some dirty laundry earlier tonight jv and you look at hill hill
00:41:07hill right now is ready to pounce
00:41:08it got filthy
00:41:09he got a little excited there
00:41:12bad blood the war of words between shiloh hill and chris island earlier today prior to this matchup
00:41:19makes you wonder how much bad blood we're gonna see unfold before our very own eyes here and obviously
00:41:26bringing this up
00:41:27it was brought up a little bit it was touched on a little bit but let's not forget early in the season
00:41:31a matchup between chris island a matchup between shiloh hill shiloh hill knocked out cold
00:41:38and that has to play on his mind in the back of his mind somewhere that moment still has to resonate with shiloh hill
00:41:44and it's interesting to think about that moment a scary one here on lfg don't get me wrong but he's been able to battle through all those odds
00:41:52all that adversity and 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 sean michaels and nxt and chris island under the tutelage of mickey 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 he's good with those eight-time all-american looking for a three couldn't get it staying right on top
00:42:28couple fireman's carries that 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 and he has been molded by mickey james into somebody who is carrying a lot of confidence
00:42:43into the ring every single time he steps into 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 set the table looks like that's what he wants to have
00:42:57yeah there you go nothing like a handful of hair nobody cheats anymore love that shiloh hill in fact said wow
00:43:04watching back of the very first episode of lfg was is kind of embarrassing to him now because he's seen that
00:43:09grow personally he's seen what he's progressed to and where he's going and island charging right back in
00:43:16looking for it a second time didn't work out as well as the first and dropped right across the throat
00:43:23first big lariat
00:43:27cover
00:43:29and island able to kick out
00:43:31now you start to wonder what mickey james what the undertaker what booker t bubble ray what everyone's thinking
00:43:37thinking because now the semi-finals are just about open
00:43:41there you go don't let him out of the corner there you go
00:43:45nice
00:43:46good heel he looked
00:43:48good selling
00:43:50shiloh is a good heel
00:43:52we've seen the competition in the ring but there's a lot of competition amongst the legends as well
00:43:58undertaker one of the most competitive individuals in the history of wwe both in and out of the ring
00:44:04enjoying it look at his face these legends have implemented their knowledge to try and grow the future of this industry
00:44:10that's a great way of putting it and when you take a look at all these athletes that have been a part even the ones that have been eliminated the ones that are still here the future is indeed bright in the wwe
00:44:21well anybody that walks through the doors the performance center realizes that very quickly with the amount of great talent walking through these doors and being developed on a daily basis
00:44:29oh
00:44:31you feel the contact of that clothesline in a kick out by chris island who's trying to shake those cobwebs free what a clothesline that was from hill and hill right now is applying the pressure keeping his foot on the gas and you just start to wonder is he remembering what chris island said earlier today
00:44:50earlier today nice nice nice that was pretty good call on that there you go there you look good sell
00:44:57oh she likes a problem child
00:45:00and hill
00:45:04with that smile across his face confidence oozing but is it taking too much time i'm assuming the undertaker is not gonna like this well certainly real-time feedback from the undertaker that
00:45:15very interest took too much time shoulder right into that middle turnbuckle and you gotta wonder how the pain shoot through hill's body you gotta 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 showcase that amateur ability one more time the promise child in there with shiloh hill the finals coming up next week of legends and future greats who will be the man to emerge
00:45:46you know
00:45:50welcome back to lfg and shiloh hill and chris island are fighting for a spot in the finals
00:45:57he wanted to get up he wants to make that comeback
00:46:01he wants that comeback
00:46:03so quick
00:46:07island trying to rally in this match again it's not about wins it's not about losses it's about connecting with that audience
00:46:14oh
00:46:16come on
00:46:17yeah
00:46:18and chris island is doing that right now
00:46:19take the words right out of my mouth another big body slam trying to follow back up
00:46:24going back to that average oh a little bit of a payback
00:46:28come on
00:46:29first this 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
00:46:37alright they got it back
00:46:38they got it back
00:46:39left shoulder just getting off the mat
00:46:42see the eyes of island right now
00:46:45he is focused in on hill
00:46:47shiloh hill is a bit of a wild card i think anybody would tell you that chris island seems to have his act together but i would say has a short fuse
00:46:54and lets it out in the ring
00:47:01oh no what a knee that connected right to the neck
00:47:06and now center of the ring high impact offense from hill who picks up the win
00:47:13here is your winner shiloh hill

00:48:26Absolutely.
00:48:26Nice job.
00:48:27Be proud of that.
00:48:28Sweaty, Paul.
00:48:28Sweaty.
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 been thus far.
00:48:51But I want you to take a good long look at the eight future greats you see here before you.
00:48:57Because at the end of today, only four will remain.
00:49:02But before we get to eliminations, right now it's time to award some points for the best standout 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.
00:49:19But there's a lot you guys still need to work on.
00:49:21If I'm being honest, the person that I got to go with, that is doing everything right, and I can see her mind is working, is Zena.
00:49:34All of you should be extremely proud of yourselves, the work that you've put in.
00:49:39I 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 is one of the hardest jobs in that ring.
00:49:59For that reason, I'm going to give my point to Danny.
00:50:03Thank you, Coach McDaniel.
00:50:05Tyra and Danny, you guys had a really, really good match, but I was struggling to find what the 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 f***ing 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.
00:51:25And that'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.
00:51:47I 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 the game.
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 orders 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.
00:52:33I'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.
00:52:59It'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?
00:53:24Oh, boy.
00:53:31I'm standing in front of you because I know how bad you want it.
00:53:35You 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 complement him as well.
00:53:57Their match was not nearly as good as Chris Island and Shiloh Hill.
00:54:03You'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.
00:54:12You 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.
00:54:20And 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.
00:54:38And 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, what do you say?
00:55:18Danny goes home.
00:55:19All right, take.
00:55:24What say you?
00:55:26You two haunted me all season long.
00:55:34Danny 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,
00:55:47I'd send you home, Tyra.
00:55:49Because 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.
00:56:20This is the beginning for me, and that's all it is for me, so 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, BJ Ray and Jasper Choi.
00:56:51All right.
00:56:52Isn't that time for the men?
00:56:54Booker is going home.
00:56:56Why are you drawing this up?
00:57:01What?
00:57:01Just...
00:57:02BJ, your ass going home.
00:57:05Obviously, **** riding Booker glazes Jasper up and, you know, tries to steer ways and directions
00:57:13and thoughts, kind 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
00:57:22personal 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.
00:57:32BJ, 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
00:57:42and 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.
00:57:55All righty, Bubba.
00:57:56Kind of, uh, maybe moot at this point.
00:57:59But, uh, obviously one of your team members, so.
00:58:03I could have been the deciding factor.
00:58:07My three fellow legends have decided to tell BJ that he's going home.
00:58:13And I say that with a big old bean grin on my face.
00:58:17The same grin that you've been grinning since day one, BJ.
00:58:23Best of luck in your future endeavors.
00:58:27You go home.
00:58:28I just want to say some things to the legends real quick.
00:58:33With Dupixen.
00:58:35I just 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.
00:58:54I 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.
00:59:11And I'm going to be a greatest superstar than you have ever seen.
00:59:14Peace out, brother.
00:59:14Yeah.
00:59:14Yeah.
00:59:15OC for life.
00:59:16Yeah.
00:59:18I 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.
00:59:25Go get him, baby.
00:59:25Go get him.
00:59:25You go get him, BJ.
00:59:27Yeah, you f***ing fossil.
00:59:28Go get him, baby.
00:59:29Go get him.
00:59:29Go 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.
00:59:38If you're going to talk s*** in this business, if you're going to run your mouth, you better
00:59:45be able to back it up.
00:59:47BJ Ray can't back it up.
00:59:51Ladies, please step forward.
00:59:53Panina and Zina.
00:59:57Ladies, great, great, great job.
01:00:00You should be standing in front of us.
01:00:03Zina, 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.
01:00:13You have so much personality.
01:00:14I'm just like blown away.
01:00:16But Zina, 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, Zina, 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.
01:00:35Zina, at the start of this thing, I just look at Bubba and like, what on earth is she doing here?
01:00:43You proved why.
01:00:45Zina, congratulations.
01:00:47You've earned this trip to the finals.
01:00:49I 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.
01:01:01Zina, 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.
