He said yes and put the phone down. He held up some paper to his head and looked at it for a second before smacking himself with the papers and falling down.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Being the Elite open aired.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Nick and Matt Jackson were in an airport. Matt stepped into the frame and said he\u2019s been craving this all week and told Nick to follow him. Matt walked towards a Chili\u2019s, but it was closed. Matt looked devastated and said he wants his baby back ribs. Brandon Cutler walked over and pulled Matt away. Nick signed and said damnit.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Matt and Nick Jackson were in the parking lot of Daily\u2019s Place. Nick said that it\u2019s now mandatory that people wear masks whenever they\u2019re indoors. Matt pointed out behind them to show the massive line for COVID testing taking place just outside the facility and said he\u2019s never seen it that busy. Nick reiterated that it\u2019s absolutely crazy how long the line is. They showed their wrist bands to show that they\u2019ve been tested and were negative. Matt said the test takes about ten minutes and it\u2019s terrifying because if they test positive they\u2019re stuck in Jacksonville for two weeks. Nick said every time he kisses his wife and kids goodbye he tells them to say a prayer that he doesn\u2019t test positive. Nick said they\u2019ll keep their masks on just to be safe. Matt pulled his mask up over his mouth and nose then tried to take a drink, which he couldn\u2019t, so he pulled his mask back down to take a sip and laughed as they walked off.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Matt Jackson climbed into the ring and started stretching. Private Party slid in behind him and said hi. Marq Quen patted him on the back and Matt winced in pain. They asked him if it was his ribs and Matt took offense to the question and asked why everyone is so concerned about his ribs. He said he\u2019s fine and Private Party said he\u2019s a liar. Marq Quen said he went from being a Christian boy to a lying boy. Isaiah Kassidy said they\u2019re going to talk to the doctors. Matt grabbed Quen by the arm. His voice got very deep and the camera changed colors and, in an evil voice, Matt asked them where they think they\u2019re going. Nick was sitting on the top rope and screamed \u201che\u2019s dead ass\u201d and Private Party jumped out of the ring and over the barricade.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Bendigo, the Fortune Teller, was looking into his crystal ball. He talked about the excellent 401k match program, the dental options are very good, and they offer generous vacation time. The camera panned over to show Alex Reynold and John Silver of Dark Order, who told Bendigo to join them as they slid a piece of paper across the table. Silver offered him a cup and told him to drink the Kool-Aid. Bendigo said they do not know how to win. Silver and Reynolds laughed him off and argued that they have potential. They demanded he ask his crystal ball. Bendigo looked at his crystal ball and said \u201cno refunds!\u201d Silver and Reynolds were upset and said Brodie Lee is going to be pissed. Bendigo tried to shoo them away, after realizing what he was doing, they got up and walked off angry.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Peter Avalon, Leva Bates, and Brandon Cutler were standing around in an area of the stadium together. Matt and Nick Jackson walked up and said \u201cthere\u2019s the new tag team\u201d very excitedly. Nick said they managed to hit them with three tag team moves and that\u2019s a big deal. Cutler and Avalon seemed to think it was one or two, not three moves. Matt said they need more tag teams in the division. Matt and Nick said they\u2019re going to prep them some more to become a tag team with a pop quiz. Cutler propsed the kick out challenge and they said no, that\u2019s dead. Matt then started the quiz. First question was to Cutler:<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-3433385768\" class=\"pwtor-content pwtor-entity-placement\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>(1) You\u2019re taking heat for ten minutes. Your opponent has you in a weird chin lock, what do you do?<\/p>\n<p>Cutler said he\u2019d start working up and getting the crowd into it by getting a clap going. Nick interrupted and said there is no crowd, only Austin Gunn. Cutler said he\u2019ll get the extras they hired to clap with him then. After that he\u2019ll elbow the guy three times, hit the ropes, avoid a clothesline, then do a Ricky Morton roll and tag Peter. Matt said that was correct. Next question was for Avalon:<\/p>\n<p>(2) What do you do next? Cutler was just hit a double down and he\u2019s reaching for the tag, how do you do it and why?<\/p>\n<p>Avalon stutters and said he\u2019d grab the tag rope. Matt said there\u2019s no tag rope! Avalon said he starts getting fired up and running back and forth along the apron. He\u2019d cheer for Brandon and start slapping the top turnbuckle and reach his beautiful hand out for the tag. Matt said that\u2019s correct and Bates and Cutler cheered. Next question is for Leva Bates:<\/p>\n<p>(3) What do you do in this scenario? Your opponent is hitting the ropes repeatedly right in front of you. What do you do?<\/p>\n<p>Bates said she grabs the leg and hold it. Avalon cheered, but Cutler yelled no. Cutler said no, that\u2019s cheating, but Avalon and Bates looked confused by his response. Avalon said that\u2019s a good thing. Matt said Bates is right and Cutler is wrong. Another question for Peter:<\/p>\n<p>(4) You have your opponent dead to rights in a two on one scenario. Do you A) tag in Brandon Cutler, B) steal all the glory and try to do it by yourself, or C\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Avalon interrupted and yelled it\u2019s B over and over. Cutler didn\u2019t like that answer and Matt said no, that\u2019s absolutely wrong.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-4145028456\" class=\"pwtor-content-1 pwtor-entity-placement\"><!-- Tag ID: pwtorchcom_test_300x600 -->\r\n<div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __300x600\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>Matt said he thought they were ready, but clearly they\u2019re not. Cutler said he\u2019s ready, but Avalon isn\u2019t. Matt and Nick walked away. Cutler said Avalon is the worst wrestler in AEW. Avalon said he has some more studying to do.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Footage of the MJF &amp; Wardlow vs. Luchasaurus &amp; Jungle Boy match was shown from Brandon Cutler\u2019s perspective at ringside including Jungle Boy\u2019s triple dives onto MJF and the double kip up spot.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Kenny Omega was backstage holding a broom in his hands and looking at it. Colt Cabana walked around a corner and saw Omega, but was quickly intercepted by Matt and Nick Jackson. They shoved Cabana back through the door he just came out of. Cabana was confused and said he was about to get some ratings for them. Nick said Omega is ready for a fight and he\u2019s not right at that moment. Cabana said it\u2019s just a bit, but they both assured him it\u2019s not. Matt said he may even be bringing back that old personality of his, but struggled to find the name. Nick said yeah, the one that the Reddit users loved. Matt said yeah, the washer. Cabana seemed confused. Nick said he\u2019s like a janitor. Matt then remembered it\u2019s the Cleaner. Cabana asked if he\u2019s in cleaning mode. Matt said yes. Nick said he\u2019s going to beat Cabana\u2019s ass and Matt said he thinks Kenny will do worse, he may kill him. Cabana looked shocked. Matt said if this isn\u2019t sinking in he has a story. He saw Omega earlier that morning and he was wearing aviators. Cabana was in shock. Matt said he saw Omega\u2019s Amazon Wish List and he had hair extensions on there too. They asked Cabana to just stay away from him. As they walked away Matt told Cabana that Kenny may shoot murder him, so just stay away.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; More footage from Cutler at ringside was shown including Sonny Kiss dancing with Britt Baker\u2019s assistant Reba. Baker yelled at her to stop, so she did.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Nick and Matt Jackson were standing in a hallway and Nick said he loves caffeine and he\u2019s so happy it\u2019s within their religion to have caffeine. Matt said of course, it\u2019s great! Hangman Page walked up and said hi. He was playing with his belt buckle and asked if they\u2019re okay. Hangman asked if they have any more of the shirt Matt was wearing, which was the \u201cChristian AF\u201d shirt. Nick and Matt smiled. Hangman said he\u2019s seen the bit and the shirt and he digs it. Page said it\u2019s bold, daring, and controversial. Matt and Nick were confused by the terms Page used to describe it. Hangman asked if they knew what it means and Nick said of course they do because they made it up. Matt said of all people, Page is going to sit there and tell them they don\u2019t know what Christian AF means. Matt told Nick to explain it and Nick said it means \u201cChristian, Always Forever.\u201d Matt said no that\u2019s not what it means at all! Matt said it means \u201cChristian, Amen Father.\u201d Matt then got confused and rattled through a couple other possibilities including \u201cChristian Always Friends\u201d and \u201cChristian Awesome Feelings.\u201d Matt finally settled that Nick was right the first time. Page looked disappointed in them and said \u201cyou guys are dumb\u2026 as\u2026 f&#8212;.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; More footage from Cutler at ringside during the AEW Women\u2019s Championship match was shown including Kip Sabian\u2019s interference.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; The Best Friends and Orange Cassidy were sitting around a table when Alex Reynolds and John Silver walked up. Silver mocked them and called them losers. Trent said they\u2019re not joining the cult. Reynolds said they should because they lost. Silver asked if they even know what the Dark Order does. Trent said no, he does not know what they do. Silver pointed at Chuck Taylor and Trent and said they take losers and make them into winners while pointing at themselves. Taylor said Silver and Reynolds have never won a match. Trent said they beat them really quick once before too while wearing Halloween costumes. Reynolds said he\u2019s going to show Trent their newest recruit to prove they don\u2019t just do nothing. Trent\u2019s mom walked up and said hi while wearing a Dark Order mask. Trent said you can\u2019t just join cults. She said yes she can. Trent realized she was holding a cup of Kool-Aid and took it from her, which really upset her. Trent called them monsters and screamed at them for messing with his mom. Trent and his mom walked off. Taylor got up too and told the \u201cspooky perverts\u201d to leave Trent\u2019s mom out of this. Silver and Reynolds turned their attention to Cassidy who was still sitting there. They asked if he\u2019d had any second opinions about joining Dark Order. They started naming Fast and Furious movies and Cassidy slowly pushed the cup of Kool-Aid off the table. They told him to stop, but he kept pushing until it fell off the table. Cassidy got up and walked off as they complained about having sticky shoes now.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Frankie Kazarian walked up to Matt and Nick Jackson and, in his new southern accent, asked if they\u2019d seen Blassy because they\u2019re supposed to be playing cribbage right about now. Matt and Nick said no. Kazarian asked if they\u2019d seen someone else name Cria who owed him $20, they said no again. Kazarian laughed and said ol\u2019 foodgie put them up to this didn\u2019t he? Matt and Nick looked confused and concerned as they said no again. Kazarian then said they don\u2019t even know how to rib these days. Back in the old days, he said they\u2019d take the greenhorns and take him in the middle of town, beat the shit out of them, and leave them for dead. Kazarian laughed while Matt and Nick looked even more confused. Kazarian then asked if they\u2019d seen Matt Hardy. Matt Jackson interrupted and asked why he\u2019s talking like that. Nick said he isn\u2019t acting like himself lately. Kazarian agreed and said he doesn\u2019t know what\u2019s going on. He said he tried to wrestle with a kid the other day and he wanted to do a headlock takeover and he told him to F off because he doesn\u2019t do high flying \u201cflippity floppity\u201d hotspots like that. Nick said he takes offense to that and Matt agreed. Kazarian then said a kid, about nine years old, asked him for an autograph today and he told the kid to go f&#8212; himself. Kazarian then asked again about Matt Hardy and stormed off.<\/p>\n<p>Christopher Daniels walked up. Matt and Nick asked what was going on with him. Daniels seemed confused. Matt and Nick said he\u2019s talking in a weird accent. Daniels acted like this was new information to him. Daniels then realized what was going on and asked if he\u2019d run into Matt Hardy. Daniels then said this has to do with the deities that Hardy is talking about and Kazarian may have run into him and somehow one of these deities attached to Kazarian. Nick then rolled his eyes into the back of his head and yelled out \u201cMerch Freak\u201d as the merch freak music started playing.<\/p>\n<p>Suddenly Nick was in a room dressed in Young Bucks gear standing next to Broken Matt Hardy. Nick turned to Hardy and asked if he wanted to see a magic trick. Matt said of course! Nick asked the camera man to give a thumbs up if this is one continuous shot without editing. The camera man held up a thumb in agreeance. Nick then snapped his finger. Matt Hardy was now a different version of himself and Nick was in his ring gear. Hardy said \u201cyou don\u2019t know how hard it is to be Matt Hardy.\u201d Nick snapped his fingers again. Matt was now Matt Hardy V1 and Nick was in different Young Bucks gear. Nick did it again and they both changed again. Nick told people off camera to raise the curtain and a curtain was pulled up in front of them and they both changed again. They raised the curtain again and they were gone, now they\u2019re invisible. Finally, Nick snapped his finger again and they were back to their original clothing. They both yelled as the Merch Freak song played again.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Matt and Nick Jackson were in their dressing room with Kenny Omega and Hangman Page. Nick said they may have lost this week, but at least they didn\u2019t put up a spoiler on Instagram! They all laughed uproariously. Omega asked what kind of idiot would do that, let alone someone on your own roster? Omega asked if they were born yesterday. Page asked them to cut the camera. Omega asked if they sold it enough and if the fans would like that one. Matt said it\u2019s a little on the nose and they\u2019ll get some heat in the comments. Omega said they need to stop taking cheap shots, but they make it so easy, it\u2019s almost like they\u2019re playing with children. Omega asked Page what he thought and Page just said yeah, it\u2019s fine. Matt and Nick awkwardly stood there as Page and Omega got their stuff together to leave. Omega asked if Page wanted to get a drink and Page asked if he\u2019s just going to pour it over the edge of the bar like the beer in the ring. Page asked what that was about. Omega said they\u2019ve been talking shit since they got to AEW and it\u2019s always been us vs. them. Omega said they\u2019re trying to embarrass them. Page said they were just bringing them a drink. Omega dismissively said okay and maybe he should\u2019ve just given it to Page. Omega said clearly the Bucks are cool with them, so if Page is cool with them too, he\u2019ll give them the benefit of the doubt. Omega said he was an idiot and told Page to call them to join them for a drink then so he can clear it up. Page looked hesitant as Omega left the room. Matt and Nick were still awkwardly sitting there until Matt said Page and Omega are really gelling well together and have good chemistry. Matt said they\u2019re doing awesome and Page said yeah they\u2019re getting along. Page went to leave and Matt stopped him and asked if he, Page, and Nick were okay. Page said awkwardly said he loves them both and he owes his career to them so he\u2019ll keep doing the bits with them, but as much as he loves them he doesn\u2019t like them and he doesn\u2019t think they like him either. Page said that\u2019s fine, they were great friends and it is what it is. Page said it feels like when you look at the back of a yearbook and see an old signature that says \u201chave a good summer,\u201d that\u2019s what he thinks this is between them now. Page opened the door and left.<\/p>\n<p><strong>FINAL THOUGHTS: <\/strong>If Matt and Nick are this concerned with COVID, why aren\u2019t they taking all possible steps to ensure safety protocols? They don\u2019t have the audience members wearing masks, or the officials. There are plenty of things they can do to make AEW tapings safer if they\u2019re truly as concerned as they said they were. They are Executive Vice Presidents of the company; if they want more to be done for safety, they can make it happen.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m sure some people won\u2019t like the shot they took at the main event of NXT being spoiled, but I enjoyed it. They didn\u2019t say what the spoiler was, just acknowledged that it happened and that\u2019s all fair game. NXT booked last week and this week as special NXT shows at the last minute, weeks after AEW did. That was a fair shot by them, so AEW can return fire. Is it petty? Yes. Is branding an episode of NXT as the Great American Bash on 7 days\u2019 notice petty? Also yes. If you dish it out, expect to get it in return. That goes for both sides of this \u201cwar.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>CATCH UP&#8230;<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2020\/06\/30\/6-30-being-the-elite-review-ep-210-a-ric-flair-bandage-hand-sanitizer-terrible-catering-new-pre-workout-powder-singing-the-chillis-tune\/\">6\/30 BEING THE ELITE REVIEW (Ep. 210): A Ric Flair bandage, hand sanitizer, terrible catering, new pre-workout powder, singing the Chili\u2019s tune<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-2383380336\"><div id=\"pwtor-26460036\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>BEING THE ELITE EP. 211 \u2013 \u201cHave A Good Summer\u201d POSTED ON YOUTUBE.COM JULY 6, 2020 REPORT BY ZACH GRAHAM, PWTORCH CONTRIBUTOR Watch it HERE. &#8211; Evil Uno was on the phone with Brodie Lee. <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2020\/07\/06\/7-6-being-the-elite-review-ep-211-bucks-take-dig-at-nxt-main-event-outcome-being-spoiled-bucks-talk-covid-testing-and-precautions-to-protect-their-families-plus-cassidy-kaz-omega-colt-li\/\" title=\"7\/6 BEING THE ELITE REVIEW (Ep. 211): Bucks take dig at NXT main event outcome being &#8220;spoiled,&#8221; Bucks talk COVID testing and precautions to protect their families, plus Cassidy, Kaz, Omega, Colt, Librarians\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":95906,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"episode_type":"","audio_file":"","podmotor_file_id":"","podmotor_episode_id":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"","filesize_raw":"","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","itunes_episode_number":"","itunes_title":"","itunes_season_number":"","itunes_episode_type":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[6438,6437,18],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-100172","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-aew-tv-reports","category-being-the-elite","category-tvshowsandevents"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/post\/2020\/04\/BeingTheElite_3x2_600.png","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/100172","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=100172"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/100172\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":100174,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/100172\/revisions\/100174"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/95906"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=100172"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=100172"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=100172"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
