You're gonna 4 00:00:29.839 --> 00:00:36.520 acknowledge me. Everybody, Welcome to the Mailbag. It's time to talk to 5 00:00:36.640 --> 00:00:41.359 you and hear from you here from all listeners about this past week and what 6 00:00:41.439 --> 00:00:45.240 a week it was was SummerSlam. Now behind us, we are into the 7 00:00:45.280 --> 00:00:50.240 fall season really, and fall is it can be a very interesting time in 8 00:00:50.280 --> 00:00:54.640 the world of wrestling. There are you know, season premiers in wrestling which 9 00:00:54.640 --> 00:00:58.840 don't really mean a whole lot, and we've got Survivor Series ahead of us, 10 00:00:59.359 --> 00:01:03.359 of course, pay Back and fast Lane before that, and then we 11 00:01:03.359 --> 00:01:06.799 can start fantasizing about the Rumble. But before we get there, guys, 12 00:01:06.840 --> 00:01:10.040 of course, we want to take a look back here from you here from 13 00:01:10.040 --> 00:01:12.879 the listeners about what the heck you thought about SummerSlam, and you know, 14 00:01:12.959 --> 00:01:18.079 moving forward, of course, but one thing I want to mention as always, 15 00:01:18.439 --> 00:01:22.599 because I know many of you have actually joined us over the last several 16 00:01:23.359 --> 00:01:29.799 days and weeks really as the Summer Slam season and most of the most of 17 00:01:29.840 --> 00:01:33.879 the pay per views do bring on new patrons. I have to acknowledge a 18 00:01:33.879 --> 00:01:38.599 few people that have come on.

So 26 00:02:08.680 --> 00:02:15.879 check that out if you are so inclined. Alrighty, let's check out our 27 00:02:15.039 --> 00:02:20.400 first our first email here, and I believe this is really more of an 28 00:02:20.400 --> 00:02:23.599 extension of a voicemail, but let's get to it. Yo, it's me, 29 00:02:23.840 --> 00:02:30.240 It's me, It's Rocky te. Okay, Rocky T. So your 30 00:02:30.360 --> 00:02:37.080 email this week is saying that you forgot to mention on your voicemail, which 31 00:02:37.080 --> 00:02:40.319 of course we'll get to in fear of being cut off. Is that me 32 00:02:40.360 --> 00:02:45.599 and the gardener Michael Gross are also collaborating with King's Scully on an episode that 33 00:02:45.599 --> 00:02:50.599 will cover the influence of the UK wrestling in today's wrestling era. That's awesome. 34 00:02:51.800 --> 00:02:54.879 I have no objections to that. Also, the roxam Perez update will 35 00:02:54.919 --> 00:03:00.520 temporarily be suspended, but no worries. She made her Royal Rumbled debuted this 36 00:03:00.599 --> 00:03:02.960 year and I believe she'll be on the main roster maybe as soon as next 37 00:03:04.039 --> 00:03:07.639 year is draft. Thanks Matt again for having me on Raw the Raw Review 38 00:03:07.719 --> 00:03:09.919 last week. Well, it's pleasure to have you on and good to hear 39 00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:14.879 that. You know, thanks are moving forward with my podcast and I don't 40 00:03:14.919 --> 00:03:17.719 even and I'm you know, you guys are moving it forward while I'm just 41 00:03:17.919 --> 00:03:23.960 you know, I feel like sometimes I'm sitting back. But you guys are 42 00:03:23.159 --> 00:03:28.240 are really the reason that things continue to move forward, getting new voices and 43 00:03:28.240 --> 00:03:30.759 new perspectives and to bring new people on. So I really appreciate it. 44 00:03:30.159 --> 00:03:35.080 And you know, I continue to do to do the back end work of 45 00:03:35.360 --> 00:03:38.159 publishing and advertising the best I can and all that kind of stuff, you 46 00:03:38.199 --> 00:03:42.960 know, which is, you know, this is something that I don't think 47 00:03:43.000 --> 00:03:46.159 people understand. This is not me tuning my own horror. I chose this 48 00:03:46.479 --> 00:03:49.639 and I love doing it. But anyone getting into podcasting, I'm telling you 49 00:03:49.719 --> 00:03:53.319 right now it is going to be a labor of love. You have to 50 00:03:53.520 --> 00:03:58.120 love this or you will leave it. Love has kept me from just saying 51 00:03:58.159 --> 00:04:00.800 screw it. I'm not doing it tonight. Right. It's a It's something 52 00:04:00.840 --> 00:04:05.199 that is much more work than people really realize. And when you have a 53 00:04:05.199 --> 00:04:11.560 great team behind you, like Rocky and Michael and Anthony and you know our 54 00:04:11.800 --> 00:04:15.279 SmackDown team of Michael, Ritter and John It's and of course Memphis Mark, 55 00:04:15.399 --> 00:04:18.360 it makes it so much easier. And I really appreciate you guys. So 56 00:04:18.639 --> 00:04:24.439 all right, thank you Rockett. Of course, yes, your voicemail is 57 00:04:24.639 --> 00:04:30.920 forthcoming. Alrighty, let's get to another patron. As always, patrons get 58 00:04:30.959 --> 00:04:35.959 priority. I know voicemailers got a quite a few voicemails today too. This 59 00:04:36.040 --> 00:04:42.240 is from Kyle Detroit. Kyle with his first ever feedback from his live live 60 00:04:42.279 --> 00:04:46.920 experience. He went to Summer Slime and this is what he said. The 61 00:04:46.959 --> 00:04:50.000 Detroit crowd was very hot at first, but the echoes of yeah and USO 62 00:04:50.399 --> 00:04:54.279 throughout the entire building. But as the night went on, the crowd died 63 00:04:54.279 --> 00:04:57.439 down, and by the time we got to Ronda and Shanea it completely died. 64 00:04:58.000 --> 00:05:00.800 Gunther and Drew helped bring it back up, and he cash In became 65 00:05:00.879 --> 00:05:03.639 arguably the loudest pop of the night. Ford Field got really loud of times, 66 00:05:03.680 --> 00:05:06.079 but because it was so large, it might not have come through on 67 00:05:06.120 --> 00:05:12.480 TV. No, it did. It did, and you know, eos 68 00:05:12.519 --> 00:05:16.160 Cashing did come across very strong. I think it rivaled l A Night's victory 69 00:05:16.199 --> 00:05:21.240 in the Battle Royal. And you guys certainly died around Shana and Ronda. 70 00:05:21.279 --> 00:05:27.279 But I don't blame you that that was not an exciting match. It wasn't 71 00:05:27.279 --> 00:05:30.279 an embarrassment, but it was. I mean, I already reviewed it, 72 00:05:30.319 --> 00:05:34.399 but it was just it's difficult to make that an exciting match when people watching 73 00:05:34.439 --> 00:05:39.199 wrestling want to watch wrestling and not MMA, you know what I mean, 74 00:05:40.160 --> 00:05:44.160 It'd be like watching a UFC pay per view and then instead they're like, 75 00:05:44.199 --> 00:05:49.639 well, instead of you know, instead of an actual MMA style competition, 76 00:05:49.680 --> 00:05:54.920 guys, we're gonna do a WWE style match. It's just it's just, 77 00:05:56.040 --> 00:05:59.639 you know, it's not usually a good translation. However, let's move on. 78 00:06:00.160 --> 00:06:02.240 Logan Paul versus Ricochet. You gave it four and a half out of 79 00:06:02.279 --> 00:06:04.920 five stars. You said that's the best match in the night in my opinion. 80 00:06:05.000 --> 00:06:09.439 Great action, great storytelling, fun usage of other wrestlers, moves. 81 00:06:09.480 --> 00:06:12.800 The crowd was really into it, probably more than any other match. Logan 82 00:06:12.839 --> 00:06:15.600 Paul's the real deal, even more impressive in person, and I hope he's 83 00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:20.920 around for a while. Yeah, that's the thing. As good as he 84 00:06:21.040 --> 00:06:27.000 is, though, he's easy to hate and I don't think they understood that 85 00:06:27.040 --> 00:06:31.519 bringing him in as a social media star. I would like them to not 86 00:06:31.560 --> 00:06:34.759 always tell us how many subscribers he has, though, you know what I 87 00:06:34.839 --> 00:06:40.360 mean, Like it's almost like it's a qualification to be here. And I 88 00:06:40.399 --> 00:06:44.399 think the Logan Paul's work speaks for itself. On the MIC, he's better 89 00:06:44.399 --> 00:06:46.600 than he should be, for sure, but there's room for improvement there. 90 00:06:47.000 --> 00:06:51.279 In the ring, he is just I mean, from an athletic standpoint, 91 00:06:51.680 --> 00:06:59.160 he is unbelievable, and Ricochet matches him as well. Nobody would argue if 92 00:06:59.160 --> 00:07:02.319 these two have another match. Cody and Brock three out of five stars. 93 00:07:02.920 --> 00:07:06.800 Brock is a very large man in person. It's very impressive to see him 94 00:07:06.800 --> 00:07:11.160 toss Cody around like a sack of potatoes. He truly is a great performer, 95 00:07:11.160 --> 00:07:14.480 and I must say I thought he did a better job than Cody in 96 00:07:14.519 --> 00:07:17.000 this match with his selling and in ring work. I like the story they 97 00:07:17.040 --> 00:07:20.720 told, but the Crossroads move is the lamest finish ever. It kind of 98 00:07:20.759 --> 00:07:25.399 looks like Cody takes more impact than his opponent. I'm just glad this pointless 99 00:07:25.399 --> 00:07:28.279 feud is over and hopefully they can both move on to something that actually has 100 00:07:28.319 --> 00:07:30.800 a story. By the way, the song choice for the video package was 101 00:07:30.839 --> 00:07:34.639 the wrong choice, and I really liked the energy in the place. Yeah, 102 00:07:34.519 --> 00:07:41.560 that's that. You know, very rarely does the WWE production team misstep 103 00:07:41.600 --> 00:07:45.839 in their video packages. They almost always hit a home run. They're ultra 104 00:07:45.920 --> 00:07:50.720 talented. But the song choice for the Brock and Cody program was very odd 105 00:07:50.839 --> 00:07:54.519 and didn't help the program at all. I agree with that. It's a 106 00:07:54.600 --> 00:07:57.759 very rare misstep by that group. So I'm not gonna you know, I'm 107 00:07:57.800 --> 00:08:01.000 not gonna hammer them too hard. However, you're right about Brock's selling. 108 00:08:01.040 --> 00:08:05.399 I don't think Brock gets enough credit for how well he sells. You know, 109 00:08:05.480 --> 00:08:11.319 he's a big dude and he's dominant, but he's not like and this 110 00:08:11.399 --> 00:08:15.199 is also not a knock on Brey, but he also doesn't know sell things, 111 00:08:15.399 --> 00:08:18.680 and when he does it has meaning. He doesn't know sell it because 112 00:08:18.680 --> 00:08:22.000 that's his gimmick or something. He doesn't when it has meaning, and it's 113 00:08:22.040 --> 00:08:24.759 part of the story. But Brock's selling is underrated. I would agree with 114 00:08:24.800 --> 00:08:31.519 that. But the also the cross Roads. I brought that up to it's 115 00:08:31.560 --> 00:08:35.000 a it's lame, and it's only lame because it's difficult to execute in a 116 00:08:35.000 --> 00:08:39.120 way that doesn't make it look like Cody's taking more of a bump than the 117 00:08:39.159 --> 00:08:43.919 actual his opponent. It's it's I understand it. Oh, it's a twisting, 118 00:08:43.960 --> 00:08:48.159 turning motion. Oh boy, it must be really impactful. Imagine doing 119 00:08:48.200 --> 00:08:52.360 that move in slow mo. And sure you could apply this logic to nearly 120 00:08:52.399 --> 00:08:58.879 any move in pro wrestling, but specifically the Crossroads. Imagine that in slow 121 00:08:58.919 --> 00:09:03.960 motion on a replay. It doesn't look good in real time. I can't 122 00:09:05.000 --> 00:09:09.200 imagine what it would look like in SloMo. It's just bad. I'm sorry, 123 00:09:09.279 --> 00:09:11.039 it's Is it as bad as the Big Ending? No? And other 124 00:09:11.080 --> 00:09:16.919 finishers? No, I just I don't like the Crossroads. It's obviously not 125 00:09:16.039 --> 00:09:22.039 going anywhere. But it's it's just a doesn't look good, and especially when 126 00:09:22.039 --> 00:09:28.240 he needs to do it three times and whatever I've gone on that that ramp 127 00:09:28.279 --> 00:09:31.279 before. All right, twenty five men Battle Royal two and a half out 128 00:09:31.320 --> 00:09:35.159 of five stars. How is the mis getting an entrance but not the US 129 00:09:35.279 --> 00:09:39.320 champion Austin theory? I mean it tells you how far Austin theory has fallen. 130 00:09:41.200 --> 00:09:46.159 I mean Austin theory has just he is off a cliff and sure he's 131 00:09:46.159 --> 00:09:50.440 still the champion, but not for long. He needs a repackaging. I 132 00:09:50.480 --> 00:09:52.879 think, not that he I don't think he should be fired or anything like 133 00:09:52.919 --> 00:09:58.240 that. He just needs a revamp. Lna getting the win was a huge 134 00:09:58.240 --> 00:10:01.279 popa. Please tell me what did Lana actually win? I want to point 135 00:10:01.279 --> 00:10:05.120 out that Chad Gable was amazing in the ring and put on a great show, 136 00:10:05.559 --> 00:10:09.320 very formulaic and predictable Battle Royal, though unfortunately, Yeah, here's the 137 00:10:09.360 --> 00:10:13.919 thing, A couple things. Laena getting the victory. I don't care if 138 00:10:13.960 --> 00:10:18.000 it was predictable. I don't care. The reason is it's the right decision, 139 00:10:20.279 --> 00:10:24.039 you know, predictability. I continue to say this because people continue to 140 00:10:24.039 --> 00:10:30.639 complain about predictability. I don't think predictability is in and of itself a bad 141 00:10:30.679 --> 00:10:33.399 thing if it's the right thing to do. Now, you can have the 142 00:10:33.399 --> 00:10:35.559 best of both worlds sometimes and do something unpredictable. That's the right choice. 143 00:10:35.600 --> 00:10:39.440 That's always the best combination, right where we always want to be surprised and 144 00:10:39.440 --> 00:10:43.919 then go, oh, that was the right decision. But more often than 145 00:10:43.960 --> 00:10:48.799 not you're going to get an outcome that's predictable, but the right decision. 146 00:10:50.120 --> 00:10:52.440 The alternative is they do something unpredictable, but it's the wrong decision. Do 147 00:10:52.519 --> 00:10:56.720 you see what I'm saying. We're choosing kind of the better option of the 148 00:10:56.759 --> 00:11:01.120 two. Now, again, the ideal, the best, the best combination 149 00:11:01.240 --> 00:11:03.720 is unpredictable and the right choice. But you can't always have that. You 150 00:11:03.840 --> 00:11:11.159 can't that. It's just nearly impossible to book. However, the La Night 151 00:11:11.159 --> 00:11:13.600 win, what did he win? He won a starting point, That's what 152 00:11:13.639 --> 00:11:20.320 he won. He won ground zero is what he won. He won a 153 00:11:20.440 --> 00:11:26.320 victory that he can use to continue to finally start doing something with La Night. 154 00:11:26.960 --> 00:11:30.639 That's what it was. And Chad Gable, my god, yeah, 155 00:11:30.960 --> 00:11:33.799 holy, I mean yes. And by the way, Chad Gable doing that, 156 00:11:35.000 --> 00:11:39.320 sup plex, I didn't mentioned this on Raw. That's that's stalled belly 157 00:11:39.360 --> 00:11:41.399 to back suplex on a Champa. I think it was. I mean, 158 00:11:41.720 --> 00:11:48.600 the dude is so underutilized it's unbelievable. Shane and Ronda one out of five 159 00:11:48.679 --> 00:11:52.080 stars. This match killed. The audience worked MM and w W doesn't work. 160 00:11:54.480 --> 00:11:56.120 There were a ton of negative chance during this match, like this is 161 00:11:56.159 --> 00:12:01.519 boring and this looks dumb, bad action, no story enough said, well, 162 00:12:01.559 --> 00:12:07.039 I wouldn't say no story. To be fair, they did as good 163 00:12:07.039 --> 00:12:09.240 of a job as it could have possibly done, trying to build a last 164 00:12:09.240 --> 00:12:16.080 second story with the multi segment video package the week before and the interactions between 165 00:12:16.120 --> 00:12:20.080 Shanna and rond to face to face before that, they did build a story. 166 00:12:20.480 --> 00:12:24.759 I think that's unfair. However, to your point, it was it 167 00:12:24.799 --> 00:12:30.120 wasn't fun to watch at home. I could imagine the live experience for this 168 00:12:30.120 --> 00:12:33.639 one, especially after you watch like Logan, Paul and Ricochet just a few 169 00:12:33.679 --> 00:12:37.399 matches before, and you see brock Lessner, you saw La Night get the 170 00:12:37.440 --> 00:12:41.159 victory, and then you get to Shana and Ronda who just roll around in 171 00:12:41.159 --> 00:12:46.440 the ring for a little while and you know, play pretend fighting. You'll 172 00:12:46.480 --> 00:12:52.639 pretend MMA it's not good. It's just not all right. Gunther and Drew, 173 00:12:52.840 --> 00:12:56.440 as you said, brought up the crowd. This was my second favorite 174 00:12:56.480 --> 00:12:58.679 match of the night. The crowd was deflated from the first at first from 175 00:12:58.720 --> 00:13:01.320 Ronda and Shane it, but these guys are so good they eventually brought it 176 00:13:01.399 --> 00:13:05.240 up and earned this. This is awesome chant. Both look solid in the 177 00:13:05.279 --> 00:13:09.080 ring, and we're very physical and damaging. Whenever one of them hit the 178 00:13:09.080 --> 00:13:13.360 matter or at Chop, it echoed throughout the stadium. Their power bombs were 179 00:13:13.399 --> 00:13:16.799 impressive too, and Drew growing over the top rope was nuts live. Yet 180 00:13:16.919 --> 00:13:22.799 Drew never I don't even know the last bad match Drew was involved in. 181 00:13:24.279 --> 00:13:28.960 No one talks about it. But Drew McIntyre is so consistent with his matches. 182 00:13:30.799 --> 00:13:33.840 It's something that for some reason is over the heads of most people. 183 00:13:33.960 --> 00:13:37.559 But Gunther and Drew. Yeah, I don't know if i'd give it four 184 00:13:37.600 --> 00:13:41.440 out of five. I'd think maybe three and a half for me, just 185 00:13:41.480 --> 00:13:46.279 because for me there's a higher bar. But I'm in the realm of your 186 00:13:46.320 --> 00:13:52.320 review as well or of your rating, and this is awesome chance. Yeah, 187 00:13:52.320 --> 00:13:54.799 they deserve that, and I wouldn't mind seeing them go again. I 188 00:13:54.799 --> 00:13:58.559 think they'll go again and payback. Seth and Finn three A three and a 189 00:13:58.600 --> 00:14:03.080 half out of five stars. I think surprisingly got the fourth biggest pot from 190 00:14:03.080 --> 00:14:05.039 the crowd, behind Cody's entrance, Ellie Knight winning and Eos cash in. 191 00:14:05.480 --> 00:14:09.000 The match was decent but didn't pick up until the last five minutes when Mommy 192 00:14:09.120 --> 00:14:13.399 came out with the judgment day The crowd loved the rest though. Quick side 193 00:14:13.399 --> 00:14:16.320 note Rolin's falcon arrow is one of the prettiest moves in all in WW. 194 00:14:16.559 --> 00:14:22.440 Yes, maybe Cody can adopt that as his finish or adopt like the Mitchinoku 195 00:14:22.559 --> 00:14:26.600 Driver. I mean, can we get rid of I know cross Roads fits. 196 00:14:26.759 --> 00:14:28.679 Oh well, it's part of his name. Isn't that cute? And 197 00:14:28.720 --> 00:14:33.399 it's it is a unique looking finish, but god does it look weak? 198 00:14:33.559 --> 00:14:37.320 Maybe Big did Biggie talk to him about, you know, coming up with 199 00:14:37.320 --> 00:14:41.120 the finish? Was Biggie advising him at the time or something? Oh yeah, 200 00:14:41.000 --> 00:14:46.080 all right? Oscar and Charlotte and Bianca the triple Threat for the Women's 201 00:14:46.159 --> 00:14:48.960 w W Women's Championship. Two and a half out of five stars is what 202 00:14:50.000 --> 00:14:54.200 you gave it. This match was surprisingly slow and sloppy for the talent involved, 203 00:14:54.240 --> 00:14:58.399 and the Bianca injury angle was sold was an obnoxious or rather obvious. 204 00:14:58.519 --> 00:15:03.039 Oh I guess I'll add obnoxious work even live compared to the Shane at Rhonda 205 00:15:03.080 --> 00:15:09.600 match, though this was a banger. That's sad. Bianca was the obvious 206 00:15:09.600 --> 00:15:11.759 crowd favorite and she got a big pop from her entrance. But why wasn't 207 00:15:11.759 --> 00:15:16.200 Oscar the last entrance? Champs are supposed to go last. I don't like 208 00:15:16.279 --> 00:15:18.679 when titles changed with a roll up victory, but we were very happy to 209 00:15:18.720 --> 00:15:22.200 see Bianca win, and way happier if you're the EO cash in. Also, 210 00:15:22.200 --> 00:15:26.879 it was nice to see Dakoda back because I know for I know how 211 00:15:26.960 --> 00:15:31.159 much that moment meant to all of Damage Control. I will say I'm sad 212 00:15:31.240 --> 00:15:33.360 damage control is still a thing. It felt like they kind of dissolved and 213 00:15:33.399 --> 00:15:35.799 no one cared and then all of a sudden they're back, and oh well 214 00:15:35.840 --> 00:15:39.240 a year ago they debuted and look where they are now. Fine, it 215 00:15:39.320 --> 00:15:43.879 was a nice it was a bit of a heartfelt moment. Fine, But 216 00:15:45.360 --> 00:15:48.840 the injury angle, and I mentioned this too, is you know, she 217 00:15:48.960 --> 00:15:52.159 did a good job selling it to the point where she couldn't even put any 218 00:15:52.159 --> 00:15:54.480 weight on her leg at all, and then all of a sudden, you 219 00:15:54.519 --> 00:15:58.960 know, divine intervention struck and she could perform a four fifty, which were 220 00:16:00.000 --> 00:16:02.840 requires you to put not just your your your own body weight, but like 221 00:16:03.879 --> 00:16:10.159 more than that, because you're jumping off of your legs to perform a move 222 00:16:10.240 --> 00:16:14.799 that defies gravity and then of course you come crashing down, so it requires 223 00:16:14.799 --> 00:16:17.639 you to use all of your strength in your leg. And if you actually 224 00:16:17.720 --> 00:16:19.600 had an injury that which in which you could not even put any weight on 225 00:16:19.639 --> 00:16:25.639 it, it's just I understand it's wrestling, it's selling, but like, 226 00:16:26.240 --> 00:16:29.799 come on, and then she immediately goes back to selling it after she performed 227 00:16:29.799 --> 00:16:32.919 the four fifty. It's just like, no, this is not selling. 228 00:16:33.799 --> 00:16:37.720 If it was selling, she would have collapsed right Like she tries to perform, 229 00:16:37.919 --> 00:16:40.080 her leg gives out on her when she tries to do it, and 230 00:16:40.320 --> 00:16:45.080 like that's selling. Selling isn't only when you're not doing a maneuver. And 231 00:16:45.120 --> 00:16:48.919 I think this is not just specific to Bianca. I think it's a kind 232 00:16:48.919 --> 00:16:52.519 of an industry wide issue. Is not just the lack of selling, but 233 00:16:52.559 --> 00:17:00.799 when you're trying to sell an injury that you suddenly can perform on that ligament 234 00:17:00.919 --> 00:17:06.039 or that appendage of your body when you need to perform a move, but 235 00:17:06.079 --> 00:17:07.599 then go back to selling it when you're not doing anything. It's like no, 236 00:17:07.599 --> 00:17:11.000 no, no, no. If you're selling something that should prevent you 237 00:17:11.119 --> 00:17:15.359 from performing a move and make you look vulnerable on a match, find other 238 00:17:15.400 --> 00:17:19.640 ways to win without using that part of your body instead of just oh it 239 00:17:19.720 --> 00:17:22.720 hurts so much, I can't even put any way down it. Hold on, 240 00:17:22.799 --> 00:17:25.079 let me do this four fifties splash. Oh way it hurts again? 241 00:17:25.799 --> 00:17:30.359 Stop it that. I mean, I agree with you. It was great 242 00:17:30.400 --> 00:17:32.720 selling up until she actually needed to do it, and then you're like, 243 00:17:32.759 --> 00:17:37.400 oh, what the hell right, why even bothers selling it if you're not 244 00:17:37.440 --> 00:17:40.359 going to use it as like I know it was supposed to be. Oh 245 00:17:40.400 --> 00:17:41.839 she's overcoming, Oh the end, just stuff, you know, Okay, 246 00:17:41.880 --> 00:17:45.599 I've made my point. Jay versus Roman two and a half out of five 247 00:17:45.640 --> 00:17:49.319 stars. This show was too long. The main event was way too long. 248 00:17:49.920 --> 00:17:52.799 Jay is a great hype man in person. Roman got tons of hate 249 00:17:52.799 --> 00:17:56.319 thrown at him all match long, but I think it was mainly out of 250 00:17:56.359 --> 00:18:00.519 boredom and frustration. It was your typical Roman match plotting, predictable, moving 251 00:18:00.519 --> 00:18:03.319 out a tortoise like pace, and lots of drama and interference at the end. 252 00:18:03.599 --> 00:18:06.240 Honestly, I took a bathroom break during this match and didn't miss a 253 00:18:06.240 --> 00:18:08.599 thing. Most of the audience couldn't see the spot where Solo put Jay through 254 00:18:08.640 --> 00:18:12.440 the table, so I didn't. That didn't pop much. Children was sleeping 255 00:18:12.440 --> 00:18:18.440 throughout this match. We were so tired and disappointed that the crowd bailed as 256 00:18:18.440 --> 00:18:21.559 soon as Roman's name was announced as the winner, not even waiting for any 257 00:18:21.559 --> 00:18:26.519 other surprises, and not counting Jimmy turning on Jay as a surprise because that 258 00:18:26.599 --> 00:18:30.480 was so expected. Overall, the entire show was underwhelming and predictable with no 259 00:18:30.559 --> 00:18:36.960 big surprises. Okay agreed that that was way too long of a main event, 260 00:18:37.000 --> 00:18:41.880 and it does seem to be very formulaic for Roman matches. Plotting every 261 00:18:41.920 --> 00:18:47.240 move is you know, there's there's. I equated it to a pitcher in 262 00:18:47.279 --> 00:18:51.559 baseball between pitches. It's exactly what it felt like here, and that's been 263 00:18:51.599 --> 00:18:53.720 the style for Roman. But there are times when it just becomes too much. 264 00:18:53.759 --> 00:18:57.599 There is a there is a diminishing returns effect here where Okay, yes, 265 00:18:59.000 --> 00:19:02.319 you can go too low. In today's world of wrestling, that it's 266 00:19:02.319 --> 00:19:04.200 too fast. Generally there is such a thing as going too slow, and 267 00:19:04.240 --> 00:19:08.799 I think this match approached it. And uh yeah, so as kids were 268 00:19:08.799 --> 00:19:11.880 sleeping. But to be fair, also this was late at night, way 269 00:19:11.880 --> 00:19:17.839 past a lot of kids' bedtimes, so there is that. But yeah, 270 00:19:18.200 --> 00:19:22.359 okay, Grace, thank you so much Kyle for the very in depth review 271 00:19:22.720 --> 00:19:29.200 of Summer Slam. It is much much appreciated, and we wouldn't have got 272 00:19:29.680 --> 00:19:33.319 We definitely wouldn't have got any of that had you not, had you not 273 00:19:33.519 --> 00:19:36.799 sent it and got that in person perspective. So I'm sorry that it was 274 00:19:36.839 --> 00:19:41.279 disappointed you, I am, But you know, I think the lack of 275 00:19:41.319 --> 00:19:45.640 returns really really annoyed a lot of people, no doubt about it. All 276 00:19:45.759 --> 00:19:49.359 right, let's continue on. Let's get to DJ Kuzmo and mister DJ says 277 00:19:49.519 --> 00:19:52.799 hello a W and w W podcast world. DJ kuz went back at it 278 00:19:52.839 --> 00:19:57.400 again. I had to briefly ran on this, can Triple Hs do something 279 00:19:57.400 --> 00:20:02.359 with those lines on his forehead? Get botox or something, because it's such 280 00:20:02.400 --> 00:20:06.839 an eyesore. Every single every single pl e those forehead lines look like tire 281 00:20:06.880 --> 00:20:12.240 tracks. I've never had anyone talk about Triple H's lines on his forehead, 282 00:20:14.440 --> 00:20:18.640 you know, I think a lot of that is not just genetics and him 283 00:20:18.680 --> 00:20:22.720 aging, although that's some of it. It's a lot of battle scars throughout 284 00:20:22.720 --> 00:20:25.240 his career. I think too. A lot of it has to do with 285 00:20:25.279 --> 00:20:27.839 how many times he bladed. And I mean to think about how many times 286 00:20:27.839 --> 00:20:32.359 Triple H bled, I mean and use you know, used blades, right, 287 00:20:32.920 --> 00:20:34.759 and uh so, I think some of it has to do with that. 288 00:20:34.920 --> 00:20:38.519 Some of it has to do with aging and just genetics, but I 289 00:20:38.839 --> 00:20:42.680 don't know what the cure is, perhaps botox. I don't think that's his 290 00:20:42.799 --> 00:20:47.240 number one priority, but yeah they are. Now everyone's gonna look at Triple 291 00:20:47.319 --> 00:20:51.680 H's forehead. Oh my gosh, the things you guys come up with. 292 00:20:51.720 --> 00:20:56.359 Good stuff. Where the hell am I lost my email? Theratist? Okay, 293 00:20:56.559 --> 00:21:00.799 so still your intercontinental champion, Gunther. I'm gonna say Gunther because I 294 00:21:00.799 --> 00:21:03.279 promised to never pronounce it that way, but I know what you're saying. 295 00:21:03.960 --> 00:21:08.160 It almost just a couple of more, just a couple more days away until 296 00:21:08.160 --> 00:21:11.599 he passes honky Tonk. I think it's twenty eight days. It becomes the 297 00:21:11.599 --> 00:21:15.559 longest reigning in history. I'm looking forward to this icy championship match between him 298 00:21:15.559 --> 00:21:19.400 and Chad Gable, even though Gunther is most likely going to retain. Yeah, 299 00:21:19.400 --> 00:21:22.559 I am too, I'm too. You know, Chad Gables getting a 300 00:21:22.599 --> 00:21:27.799 little bit more of a rubbed than he normally does, and I'm looking forward 301 00:21:27.799 --> 00:21:33.359 to the match as well. After coming up short once again against Gunther's. 302 00:21:33.720 --> 00:21:40.440 Is the time now to turn Drew turned heel turned Drew heel? I will 303 00:21:40.480 --> 00:21:45.200 say that right since Mindonette Raw does not have enough credible heels to challenge Cody. 304 00:21:45.640 --> 00:21:48.960 Drew has not won a Championship match since retaining the title at Chamber in 305 00:21:49.000 --> 00:21:53.359 twenty twenty one inside the Chamber against fellow opponents Jeff Hardy, Gope, Kingston, 306 00:21:53.400 --> 00:21:56.960 aj Styles Chamis and Randy Orton. With his two year championship drought, 307 00:21:56.960 --> 00:22:02.519 do you see potentially that a heeled Drew goes after Rawlins for the title after 308 00:22:02.599 --> 00:22:07.160 Rawlins finishes his few with Nam Yes, unless he gets traded to SmackDown. 309 00:22:07.279 --> 00:22:11.599 Yes. I mean, I can't stress that enough. I think Drew as 310 00:22:11.640 --> 00:22:15.599 a heel is going to refresh his career, give Seth someone to work with 311 00:22:15.680 --> 00:22:22.640 for multiple months, absolutely and could be an actual threat to the World Heavyweight 312 00:22:22.680 --> 00:22:29.400 Championship. And it's very believable to take it off of Seth, not just 313 00:22:29.480 --> 00:22:32.759 a stepping stone or someone he needs to work with the fill time. I 314 00:22:32.759 --> 00:22:37.480 think Drew has a real shot if he turns heel to take it off of 315 00:22:37.480 --> 00:22:41.599 Seth. And Drew's a proven commodity, he can cut promos, He's really 316 00:22:41.599 --> 00:22:44.920 good as a heel. Go back and watch some of his work as a 317 00:22:44.920 --> 00:22:49.559 heel and you'll go, oh wow, there is a lot here, and 318 00:22:49.599 --> 00:22:53.920 there's just he is a mature, polished wrestler. I mean, there's just 319 00:22:55.000 --> 00:22:57.039 no two ways about it. That could be your champion and be a really 320 00:22:57.039 --> 00:23:03.480 good heel champion. The question is does WWE want to pull that trigger of 321 00:23:03.559 --> 00:23:06.839 going back on what they originally intended to set out the world title to be, 322 00:23:07.240 --> 00:23:12.319 which is an anti Roman. So we'll see, all right, One 323 00:23:12.400 --> 00:23:17.000 last thing, speaking of heel turns or slight heel turns, the new Look 324 00:23:17.039 --> 00:23:19.799 Street Profits attack both Baby Faced Teams in the OC and the Brawling Broods during 325 00:23:19.799 --> 00:23:25.720 their match, so obviously I wouldn't assume they are heels. But then Bobby 326 00:23:25.799 --> 00:23:29.599 Lashley appears in the crowd chance Bobby Bobby. I was a little confused, 327 00:23:29.599 --> 00:23:30.960 but I guess the crowd cheer because they haven't seen him in a long time. 328 00:23:32.400 --> 00:23:34.200 My question is, do you think the creative plants for three prophets he'll 329 00:23:34.279 --> 00:23:38.000 turn backfired because of the crowd cheering for Bobby. That's all for now in 330 00:23:38.079 --> 00:23:44.519 DJ Cousmos signing off, Well, I think they're kind of dipping your toe 331 00:23:44.519 --> 00:23:47.400 in little places, right, They're kind of seeing how the crowd's going to 332 00:23:47.440 --> 00:23:51.440 react, and it could have just been one of those oh we haven't seen 333 00:23:51.519 --> 00:23:52.640 him in a while, so we're going to cheer them, and that goes 334 00:23:52.640 --> 00:23:57.000 away quickly, you know, once that return feeling kind of fades away. 335 00:23:57.960 --> 00:24:00.599 Perhaps they do, but I don't know what the long term plans are if 336 00:24:00.720 --> 00:24:04.200 if they're gonna feud, If Bobby lash is gonna feud with eventually Roman reigns, 337 00:24:04.480 --> 00:24:08.200 which I think he should, then they can't keep him heal. So 338 00:24:10.839 --> 00:24:14.400 this is just one night them attacking THEOC and the brawling brutes. First of 339 00:24:14.440 --> 00:24:15.960 all, no one cares about the OC. I'm sorry, no one does. 340 00:24:17.039 --> 00:24:22.640 No one they are they are holler portrayed in WWE has never been to 341 00:24:22.720 --> 00:24:26.240 their benefit. Never and the brawling Brutes. Sure, I mean they have 342 00:24:26.240 --> 00:24:30.480 a little bit of momentum there they were a heel team. They went back 343 00:24:30.519 --> 00:24:36.680 to baby Face, Shamus and Gunther all that. But let's see what week 344 00:24:36.759 --> 00:24:38.880 two, in week three, in week four, bring who they attack, 345 00:24:38.960 --> 00:24:41.799 what they say in the mic, that's going to be key as to what 346 00:24:41.839 --> 00:24:45.759 they're going to be established as. All right, so we'll get the Virmahan 347 00:24:45.880 --> 00:24:52.720 report in just a few moments. Let's get too. Let's get to Mason 348 00:24:53.240 --> 00:24:56.759 and he says, let me talk to you. So first, why the 349 00:24:56.799 --> 00:24:59.720 heck were Michael Cole and Wade bear It on Raw instead of Corey Graves and 350 00:24:59.799 --> 00:25:03.000 Kevin Patrick. And La Knight was there too, so I guess the brand 351 00:25:03.079 --> 00:25:07.000 split juice doesn't exist. Don't get me wrong. I want to see La 352 00:25:07.079 --> 00:25:11.359 Knight as much as possible, so I like that he was there. Also, 353 00:25:11.480 --> 00:25:14.960 if the New Day showed up, why not bring Biggie back too? 354 00:25:15.039 --> 00:25:18.759 Because a month ago, after the Bell podcast with Corey Graves, he said 355 00:25:18.759 --> 00:25:21.440 he would return when the time is right, and I feel like now could 356 00:25:21.440 --> 00:25:26.400 be a perfect time. Last off, this week's question for the listeners, 357 00:25:26.519 --> 00:25:30.680 create any feud between any two superstars for any championship, who would they be 358 00:25:32.160 --> 00:25:34.440 and what would the championship be? Doesn't have to be a current champion. 359 00:25:34.799 --> 00:25:44.920 Good question Mason to pose to everybody. Now, it's so funny. I 360 00:25:45.039 --> 00:25:52.079 really, you know, I didn't even notice that La Knight shouldn't have been 361 00:25:52.079 --> 00:25:57.079 on RAW. I didn't even notice that is something normally I would be right 362 00:25:57.119 --> 00:26:03.440 on top of. I've become so numb to WWE just at will bringing whoever 363 00:26:03.440 --> 00:26:07.839 they want from opposing brands to the opposite show. When the story dictates that 364 00:26:07.880 --> 00:26:14.519 they do it, I'm half angry about it or annoyed by it because I 365 00:26:14.559 --> 00:26:15.759 still don't no matter how many times they do it, I'm not going to 366 00:26:15.839 --> 00:26:21.079 be desensitized to it and just well, that's just WWE doing what they need. 367 00:26:21.119 --> 00:26:22.160 No, no, no, no, Like I hold them accountable. 368 00:26:22.200 --> 00:26:26.720 I hold them to their own damn rules, like being able to tell basic 369 00:26:26.799 --> 00:26:30.279 stories. And why the hell we never were told for a four month feud? 370 00:26:30.599 --> 00:26:33.279 Why Brock attack Cody to begin with, which we still don't know? 371 00:26:33.920 --> 00:26:37.240 I don't. I don't give them a pass on basics. I don't. 372 00:26:38.359 --> 00:26:45.599 But the opposite to this is Ella Knight is a massive rising star. WWE 373 00:26:45.839 --> 00:26:49.240 is testing the fans to see how deep their loyalty goes, and you know, 374 00:26:49.440 --> 00:26:52.799 where they really believe Ellie Knight should be or if he's a fad or, 375 00:26:52.880 --> 00:26:56.640 as miss put it, a flash in the pan. So they're showcasing 376 00:26:56.680 --> 00:27:00.359 him on bull shows where his home is truly SmackDown. They didn't give an 377 00:27:00.400 --> 00:27:04.200 explanation as to why Ellena was there. They just had him there and no 378 00:27:04.240 --> 00:27:10.359 one cared and clearly I did neither. It didn't even notice like Ellena shouldn't 379 00:27:10.359 --> 00:27:15.640 have been there, but that he is being showcased on both shows now because 380 00:27:15.039 --> 00:27:18.119 they know they have something here and they want to see what it is. 381 00:27:18.839 --> 00:27:25.200 So and as far as the whole announced teams, man, I don't know 382 00:27:26.000 --> 00:27:30.480 they. I'm not too upset about that either though, unless you're you know, 383 00:27:30.640 --> 00:27:33.640 a big Kevin Patrick fan, of which I'm not. It didn't really 384 00:27:33.640 --> 00:27:38.359 bother me too much. All right, thanks Mason. Now let's uh, 385 00:27:38.920 --> 00:27:45.240 let's see where we want to go. All right, let's talk to let's 386 00:27:45.240 --> 00:27:51.799 talk to King Scully. He's in the house and he's representing the UK all 387 00:27:51.880 --> 00:27:53.920 day, so let's see what he's got to say. Is that all rhyme? 388 00:27:55.079 --> 00:28:00.400 Oh my god? All right? So King skull. He says, 389 00:28:00.440 --> 00:28:02.759 it's been a few weeks since I last rode in the mailbag, but I'm 390 00:28:02.799 --> 00:28:04.680 here now. I hope you didn't miss me too much. Summer Slim was 391 00:28:04.720 --> 00:28:07.799 decent enough, but the matches were competitive and overall was a good pay per 392 00:28:07.839 --> 00:28:11.720 view. Jimmy screwing Jay didn't make sense. After all, it was Jimmy 393 00:28:11.759 --> 00:28:15.519 who turned on Roman to begin with. But we can see where this is 394 00:28:15.559 --> 00:28:19.720 going. I really enjoyed Michael enjoyed Michael Cole's commentary, and the ending was 395 00:28:19.799 --> 00:28:23.720 quality and I found it amusing. Jimmy, what did you do? Yeah, 396 00:28:25.160 --> 00:28:29.079 that's true. Michael Cole did make it as dramatic as it could have 397 00:28:29.119 --> 00:28:33.200 been. Props to Cole. Sky winning the title was great, loved it 398 00:28:33.319 --> 00:28:37.960 when her music hit Lesner versus Rhodes was enjoyable, and the respect from Brock 399 00:28:37.400 --> 00:28:41.119 was a nice touch. Before we get to death the cash in thing, 400 00:28:42.079 --> 00:28:47.880 why do we need to hear from the announcer before the bell rings that there's 401 00:28:47.880 --> 00:28:51.720 a cash in? I mean, those are precious seconds, you know, 402 00:28:52.519 --> 00:28:57.839 like precious seconds that could be wasted on and being like the match is hinged 403 00:28:57.920 --> 00:29:03.480 on the announcer announce it. It should just be the competitor, hands the 404 00:29:03.519 --> 00:29:07.640 referee the briefcase. It's implied we all know it's coming, and the bell 405 00:29:07.759 --> 00:29:15.359 rings like it should be instant. There's always precious seconds of the match starting 406 00:29:15.400 --> 00:29:19.200 where there's false castions and things. But I'd aggress, all right. I 407 00:29:19.200 --> 00:29:23.680 think Balor should have won it too. I'm already bored of Seth's title reign. 408 00:29:23.880 --> 00:29:29.359 Logan and Ricochet was good, Shana Basler and round Ron Arowsy was hard 409 00:29:29.359 --> 00:29:32.880 fought. I think the Battle Royals should have had a better prize, like 410 00:29:32.920 --> 00:29:36.039 maybe a title shot of some sort. But this is I'm definitely happy they 411 00:29:36.039 --> 00:29:41.480 had La Night one. Yeah, moving on, there's been loads of injuries 412 00:29:41.559 --> 00:29:45.480 lately, or am I I just lost myself? Oh, surely the tag 413 00:29:45.480 --> 00:29:51.920 team titles should have been made vacant. Well, the men's and women's. 414 00:29:51.920 --> 00:29:55.440 It's all going a bit crazy. I think those titles are cursed. Yeah, 415 00:29:55.440 --> 00:29:57.359 I'd agree, and can For God's sakes, can we please, since 416 00:29:57.359 --> 00:30:03.079 we've unified physically the belts that were unified, can we please do that for 417 00:30:03.119 --> 00:30:07.440 the men's tag team titles? Please? Please, please please? What's wrong 418 00:30:07.480 --> 00:30:11.160 with him is his face on raw He looked like a Tomato. I found 419 00:30:11.160 --> 00:30:15.759 it quite amusing when the Mids called La Night an Attitude era fanboy. His 420 00:30:15.839 --> 00:30:18.039 mic work is always good. In La Night once again rose to the occasion. 421 00:30:18.079 --> 00:30:23.160 He gave as good as he's got and more like Night from the start, 422 00:30:23.200 --> 00:30:26.920 and it's good that he is. This over was a good back and 423 00:30:26.960 --> 00:30:30.039 forth between the two. But the real question is why was Ela Knight on 424 00:30:30.160 --> 00:30:33.400 raw? Oh wait? Because we know the brand split doesn't matter? Yes, 425 00:30:33.480 --> 00:30:37.839 and I just went over that. But are we complaining? You know 426 00:30:37.880 --> 00:30:40.400 what I mean with this? And that's what DW you'd say, was, 427 00:30:40.519 --> 00:30:42.119 well, are you complaining? He was there? You know what I mean? 428 00:30:42.880 --> 00:30:47.519 So there's that. But I also am a big stickler for brand split 429 00:30:47.599 --> 00:30:52.960 rule enforcement. Shoosh please, I'm glad that Chad is getting a push. 430 00:30:52.240 --> 00:30:56.200 He's a brilliant athlete and his promos have always been entertaining, especially recently. 431 00:30:56.599 --> 00:31:02.240 Can Gable be the guide to dethrone Gunther It seems unlikely. He would definitely 432 00:31:02.319 --> 00:31:07.960 deserve it, thank you well, so no, It'll be a fun, 433 00:31:07.079 --> 00:31:11.440 hard fought. You know, a bit of a David Goliath, a bit 434 00:31:11.519 --> 00:31:17.680 of that dynamic going on with the size difference. A pure wrestling match that's 435 00:31:17.759 --> 00:31:22.400 physical, a lot of suplexes, a lot of impressive I think maneuvers coming 436 00:31:22.440 --> 00:31:26.359 from Gable. This is a sneaky match here. Not that I think Gabel 437 00:31:26.400 --> 00:31:30.319 has any chance to be Gunther. He doesn't for the biggest reason. Number 438 00:31:30.319 --> 00:31:33.960 one is Gunther is an inch away from being able to claim he is the 439 00:31:33.960 --> 00:31:38.000 longest running ic IC champion of all time. You think WW is gonna not 440 00:31:38.680 --> 00:31:44.000 cross that for Gunther. They have massive plans for Gunther. Gable's not going 441 00:31:44.079 --> 00:31:47.880 to be the one to stop that. No chance, zero chance. I 442 00:31:47.880 --> 00:31:52.759 don't care who comes back right now. Gunther will cross that threshold, all 443 00:31:52.839 --> 00:31:56.720 right. I just can't help. But like Shinski, I have always have, 444 00:31:56.839 --> 00:32:00.279 and it appears he's getting a lot more TV time lately. Always good 445 00:32:00.279 --> 00:32:02.200 in the ring. He's charismatic and I enjoy his character. Good to see 446 00:32:02.240 --> 00:32:05.799 him in the main event. You know you're noticing a pattern here though, 447 00:32:05.880 --> 00:32:14.319 guys generally guys, not just you, King's Gully here everyone they're pushing people 448 00:32:14.359 --> 00:32:19.200 they normally wouldn't that have been there. They're not new, but I think 449 00:32:19.200 --> 00:32:22.200 they're doing this because they have a couple of b pay per views coming up 450 00:32:23.440 --> 00:32:29.519 and time to fill before Survivor series. And I'm not saying that the guys 451 00:32:29.559 --> 00:32:35.359 and gals here are fillers, but I think they're giving these men more of 452 00:32:35.359 --> 00:32:38.200 an opportunity than they otherwise would because it's a bit of a lull before another 453 00:32:38.240 --> 00:32:45.759 major pay per view And I don't know, just some thought there. I 454 00:32:45.839 --> 00:32:49.759 tweeted or X. Yeah, I don't understand the X thing. It's still 455 00:32:49.799 --> 00:32:54.640 tweet like, sure the x X is cool looking, but like so, 456 00:32:55.240 --> 00:33:00.720 I don't know whole another topic. So you tweeted Cody Rhodes. They told 457 00:33:00.759 --> 00:33:06.400 him to stop, stop asking a stupid question that we as fans cannot answer. 458 00:33:06.440 --> 00:33:07.960 He didn't respond, but unfortunately I tried. Well, thank you for 459 00:33:08.039 --> 00:33:12.119 trying. I really appreciate that. But he continues to come out there. 460 00:33:12.359 --> 00:33:15.200 Cody Rhodes does and ask a question that the fans still cheer, but it's 461 00:33:15.200 --> 00:33:20.079 like a mild cheer, and it's only they're only cheering, I think because 462 00:33:20.079 --> 00:33:24.559 he mentions their city. That's it. That's the only reason he inserts in 463 00:33:24.680 --> 00:33:28.839 certain name of city, what do you want to talk about? In certain 464 00:33:28.920 --> 00:33:30.839 name of city, what do you want to talk about? That's it. 465 00:33:30.200 --> 00:33:32.960 A little bit of MJF for you there, But that's what he does. 466 00:33:34.599 --> 00:33:37.000 That's it. And the only reason that people cheer is they said the name 467 00:33:37.039 --> 00:33:40.519 of our city. Isn't that cool? I'm from here, you know what 468 00:33:40.599 --> 00:33:45.160 I mean. It's just it's nonsense. And the way he also delivers it 469 00:33:45.240 --> 00:33:51.240 is it's just I want someone to punch him in the face. He does 470 00:33:51.240 --> 00:33:53.920 it in a sly smile, knowing he's about to get a pop. But 471 00:33:53.960 --> 00:33:59.960 that also, no one can answer this. There's no coherent, cohesive collection 472 00:34:00.000 --> 00:34:02.480 I can answered to this other than just okay, open ended question. I 473 00:34:02.480 --> 00:34:06.319 guess we're just gonna cheer because he mentioned our city a few words ago. 474 00:34:06.759 --> 00:34:12.480 It's ridiculous, but he continues to try to make it a thing. It's 475 00:34:12.559 --> 00:34:17.000 not a thing. People aren't cheering along. You notice no one is speaking 476 00:34:17.039 --> 00:34:21.400 along with him. If it was so over, Cody, after you've been 477 00:34:21.400 --> 00:34:24.760 doing this for months and months, wouldn't people be saying this along with you 478 00:34:24.840 --> 00:34:30.280 as your catchphrase. Instead, you rely on the people cheering and get false 479 00:34:30.360 --> 00:34:34.239 validation from people cheering only because you mentioned the name of the city, not 480 00:34:34.320 --> 00:34:40.360 because it's a good catch line a catchphrase. So and also the way Cody 481 00:34:40.400 --> 00:34:45.480 delivers his promos, he's just I don't know. I don't want to go 482 00:34:45.519 --> 00:34:50.840 into it. I'm starting to side with Anthony DeMarco on turning completely on Cody 483 00:34:51.239 --> 00:34:54.519 in terms of his baby face character. Excellent in the ring, he feels 484 00:34:54.519 --> 00:35:00.079 like a main eventer, but just miscast. Even though I Understan and the 485 00:35:00.280 --> 00:35:02.239 Popsy's getting and all that, I get that. I know. I also 486 00:35:02.239 --> 00:35:05.840 feel like I'm in the minority on this too, and that's cool. But 487 00:35:06.360 --> 00:35:09.000 all right. I could go on a whole massive Cody die tribe now about 488 00:35:09.000 --> 00:35:15.519 his promos, but all right, moving on, the worst thing about Roll 489 00:35:15.559 --> 00:35:17.679 this week was the return of the New Day, same boring gimmick. I 490 00:35:17.719 --> 00:35:21.480 don't get why anyone likes them, cheers for them, and it's obvious they 491 00:35:21.480 --> 00:35:23.800 were going to win. Lame. New Day sucks. You are my new 492 00:35:23.840 --> 00:35:28.679 favorite listener listener of the day. Should I feel like I should insert some 493 00:35:28.760 --> 00:35:31.400 kind of some kind of applause there? If I had a soundboard, I 494 00:35:31.400 --> 00:35:36.320 would. I'm also looking forward to working with Rocky Team Michael Gross and mav 495 00:35:36.400 --> 00:35:39.039 on an upcoming episode. Be fun to make my debut Enjoy your Day piece 496 00:35:39.079 --> 00:35:44.000 out? Yeah, I'm looking forward to that too. Cool. All right, 497 00:35:44.039 --> 00:35:46.599 guys, let's keep rolling here. Let's see, I have to heavily 498 00:35:46.679 --> 00:35:52.119 Oh this is from Malachi, and Malki says, I have to heavily disagree 499 00:35:52.159 --> 00:35:55.079 with you on the statement you made on Summer Slim review about nobody wanted to 500 00:35:55.079 --> 00:35:59.559 see Bianca belliras champion. Maybe you don't want to see hers champion, but 501 00:35:59.559 --> 00:36:02.119 the casual fan of majority of people in attendance cheered loudly when she came out 502 00:36:02.159 --> 00:36:06.280 and popped loud when she won the title. She gets reaction as loud as 503 00:36:06.280 --> 00:36:08.320 anyone. So I'm confused with this notion that nobody wants her as champion. 504 00:36:08.360 --> 00:36:13.880 Maybe she needs to take a well deserved break and hiatus for the marks to 505 00:36:13.920 --> 00:36:16.880 see important and vital. She is the company in the women's division. Okay, 506 00:36:16.960 --> 00:36:22.840 well here, so here's the deal, Malachi, when you heard the 507 00:36:22.840 --> 00:36:27.639 reaction for Bianca, it was more of that they don't want Oscar as champion. 508 00:36:28.239 --> 00:36:31.880 Okay, people would have cheered, if cheered for Charlotte won and cheered 509 00:36:31.880 --> 00:36:38.199 maybe louder. Bianca Bellar just came off being champion. Okay. She's been 510 00:36:38.280 --> 00:36:44.559 champion essentially since WrestleMania thirty eight, and we need a break from Bianca bell 511 00:36:44.599 --> 00:36:51.920 arras champion, we just do it was more I believe a just happy the 512 00:36:52.000 --> 00:36:55.320 fans aren't going to continue to see Oscar as champion because Oscar is champion is 513 00:36:55.320 --> 00:37:00.960 a snooze fest. It just is. It's not that people hate Bianca bel 514 00:37:01.000 --> 00:37:05.639 air, or rather I think they hate or they don't. I think people 515 00:37:05.679 --> 00:37:08.320 are bored with her baby face character and that she should turn heel. I 516 00:37:08.400 --> 00:37:13.039 believe that. I continue to believe that she would be much more successful at 517 00:37:13.039 --> 00:37:19.320 this point and give her a refresh. But the cheer I think had a 518 00:37:19.360 --> 00:37:22.039 lot to do with people just wanting to see Osca not as champion, rather 519 00:37:22.079 --> 00:37:27.800 than more because Bianca. People are excited to see Bianca as champion. Case 520 00:37:27.880 --> 00:37:30.920 in point, when we had EO Sky cash in, the pop for Eo 521 00:37:30.960 --> 00:37:37.519 Sky winning and beating Bianca was exponentially louder than Bianca winning the title in the 522 00:37:37.559 --> 00:37:43.000 first place, which told you people are ready for a change here. So 523 00:37:44.760 --> 00:37:49.079 I guess we'll agree to disagree, right, all right, let's continue to 524 00:37:50.360 --> 00:37:58.320 Let's see who we want to go to Nick from Oregon. Nick says the 525 00:37:58.400 --> 00:38:01.480 women's division, at least the top of the SmackDown card, seems to have 526 00:38:01.519 --> 00:38:07.559 a face heel problem, although is it a problem outside of Bianca Belair? 527 00:38:07.599 --> 00:38:12.320 Who may close the expectat who may close to the expected heel? Turn? 528 00:38:13.039 --> 00:38:15.920 Who may be close? Or Zelena Vega? Can you name one superstar on 529 00:38:15.960 --> 00:38:22.199 the brand that's strongly defined has a strongly defined position. Charlotte an Osca both 530 00:38:22.199 --> 00:38:24.840 are being booked as baby faces but worked better as heels. EO she sure 531 00:38:24.880 --> 00:38:28.800 she comes off like a new baby face champion, but doesn't damage controls supposed 532 00:38:28.800 --> 00:38:31.800 to be heel faction. Even the mid card is muddy Shotzi is She's supposed 533 00:38:31.800 --> 00:38:36.559 to be the baby face to Bailey's heel or vice versa. Does anyone care 534 00:38:37.199 --> 00:38:40.880 Meetchen? I guess thedoc is a baby face faction just with zero heat I 535 00:38:42.079 --> 00:38:45.000 La Don and Albifier, Who knows? Do you see this as a problem? 536 00:38:45.079 --> 00:38:49.320 It just feels like right now, coming out of coming out of Ray 537 00:38:49.440 --> 00:38:52.920 outside of EO, there isn't much heat for any of them. So I 538 00:38:52.960 --> 00:38:57.119 wonder if creative needs to figure out more defined roles. If I'm fantasy booking 539 00:38:57.119 --> 00:39:00.800 this after some time off Bianca Turn's heel, joining Lashly new her business and 540 00:39:00.840 --> 00:39:05.519 goes after whoever is still champion at the time. Yeah, that's a that's 541 00:39:05.719 --> 00:39:10.000 some good points. They're nick When you look at all the women on SmackDown, 542 00:39:12.440 --> 00:39:17.280 there there could be cases of well, this person's booked as a heel, 543 00:39:17.480 --> 00:39:21.159 but they're getting a they're in a heel faction, but they're still a 544 00:39:21.199 --> 00:39:24.119 new champion like EO, and she's still getting a big reaction as a baby 545 00:39:24.119 --> 00:39:28.639 face. What I think who chalked this up to is well, there's shades 546 00:39:28.639 --> 00:39:32.519 of gray. There's shades of gray. Everyone shouldn't be defined in just strict 547 00:39:32.639 --> 00:39:37.559 categories. I firmly disagree. I understand there are shades of gray, but 548 00:39:37.679 --> 00:39:42.079 in in pro wrestling as a presentation, you want to be able to have 549 00:39:42.199 --> 00:39:49.079 clearly defined good and evil. It's it really boils down in pro wrestling at 550 00:39:49.079 --> 00:39:53.480 its core when it's the most successful, clearly defined roles of who's playing good 551 00:39:53.519 --> 00:39:58.000 and who's playing evil. That's it. I know that. Oh that's rue. 552 00:39:58.119 --> 00:40:00.000 Oh that's rudimentary, that's elementary. No, that's what it is. 553 00:40:01.159 --> 00:40:04.199 Who do you want to see beat the other? Why do you want to 554 00:40:04.239 --> 00:40:07.400 see this person beat this person up? What did that person do that deserves 555 00:40:07.440 --> 00:40:09.800 it? Right? That's it? Or what do you want to see that 556 00:40:09.840 --> 00:40:15.199 person achieve so and that's really what it is. That's not all it is, 557 00:40:15.239 --> 00:40:20.320 but that's at its very just root, that's what it is. And 558 00:40:22.039 --> 00:40:27.400 so yeah, I don't know if it's it's a problem. Only if it's 559 00:40:28.039 --> 00:40:34.159 if a tension is drawn to it, where the reactions flip flop, you 560 00:40:34.199 --> 00:40:37.639 know. Like what I think the worst example of this or best, depending 561 00:40:37.639 --> 00:40:42.639 on how you look at it is Ronda and Shana. They we don't know 562 00:40:42.880 --> 00:40:44.960 still to this day, who is the baby face and who's the heel. 563 00:40:45.199 --> 00:40:50.079 I would imagine most people were sharing for Shana, but not strongly. It 564 00:40:50.119 --> 00:40:54.280 wasn't overwhelming that that was kind of a mess of a heel baby face dynamic, 565 00:40:54.320 --> 00:40:59.320 and w W didn't seem to care. Sometimes it just happens, but 566 00:40:59.400 --> 00:41:01.920 right now, yeah, right, Like Charlotte is is booked as a baby 567 00:41:01.960 --> 00:41:07.159 face, but she's clearly better as a heel, and sometimes she says things 568 00:41:07.159 --> 00:41:10.360 that are very heelish. I mean, you're never gonna get exactly everything lined 569 00:41:10.440 --> 00:41:14.079 up perfectly to go. This person is, you know, excuse me, 570 00:41:14.119 --> 00:41:16.559 the the epitome of a baby face, and this person is the epitome of 571 00:41:16.559 --> 00:41:20.559 a heel. You get that occasionally, but more often than not right now, 572 00:41:20.599 --> 00:41:24.519 they just kind of they do have wishy washy people on the women's side 573 00:41:24.519 --> 00:41:29.360 and some on the men as well, no doubt. I mean this can 574 00:41:29.400 --> 00:41:31.440 actually be a hold. You can make an entire show on this show, 575 00:41:31.480 --> 00:41:37.679 an entire like kind of side podcast on the women's issues in wrestling or successes. 576 00:41:38.519 --> 00:41:42.480 I'm open to that. By the way, if someone out there, 577 00:41:43.039 --> 00:41:46.880 uh, you know, I'd actually really like to have more women on this 578 00:41:46.920 --> 00:41:52.440 show to talk about women's wrestling. I think that would be a fun dynamic. 579 00:41:52.480 --> 00:41:55.880 I don't think there's enough women that talk about wrestling in our in podcasts, 580 00:41:55.960 --> 00:42:00.920 because well it's a male demic, male dominated demographic that watched the product. 581 00:42:01.000 --> 00:42:07.960 But thanks Nick, very intriguing and good points. All right, let's 582 00:42:07.960 --> 00:42:15.519 see, let's go to let's go to Ryan, and Ryan says, hey, 583 00:42:15.559 --> 00:42:17.480 Matt and enjoining the ad three shows in your Summer Slam review. I've 584 00:42:17.519 --> 00:42:22.760 seen a lot of chatter online about the heel turn and Brock's off script heavy 585 00:42:22.920 --> 00:42:25.719 putting over of Cody, But am I crazier? Didn't both Brock and Cody 586 00:42:25.800 --> 00:42:31.239 and Jay versus Roman both call for pin or submission with interference being a DQ. 587 00:42:31.800 --> 00:42:42.320 Shouldn't both Cody and Roman have been disqualified. Well, no, because 588 00:42:42.760 --> 00:42:53.079 the tribal combat was no disqualification. Now, if tribal combat includes no family 589 00:42:53.119 --> 00:42:58.159 members should be involved, and if family members do get involved, it's a 590 00:42:58.199 --> 00:43:01.320 disqualification. That's different. But I don't know if that was ever enforced. 591 00:43:01.400 --> 00:43:04.920 I think it was mentioned at one point, but it wasn't ever a point 592 00:43:05.000 --> 00:43:07.559 driven home. So I think they kind of let that fade away and they 593 00:43:07.679 --> 00:43:14.679 just made it a a no DQ match labeled and marketed as a tribal combat. 594 00:43:15.440 --> 00:43:20.320 So I don't think Roman should have As far as Cody getting disqualified, 595 00:43:20.719 --> 00:43:25.000 you know, I don't. I don't think so that that was a straight 596 00:43:25.079 --> 00:43:29.840 up wrestling match though, right, Yeah, I mean that was. But 597 00:43:30.199 --> 00:43:34.760 what did uh did? What should Why should a Cody have been disqualified? 598 00:43:34.800 --> 00:43:39.000 Though? What happened? I'm not sure? All right. I know this 599 00:43:39.079 --> 00:43:44.039 is all in order to move the stories forward, but I feel like Creative 600 00:43:44.119 --> 00:43:47.559 is completely throwing match stipulations and rules to the wind. What are your thoughts, 601 00:43:49.199 --> 00:43:53.239 Well, yeah, I mean, I guess that's a very broad statement. 602 00:43:53.320 --> 00:43:58.920 I'd have to get specifics when you're saying that they're throwing match stipulations and 603 00:43:59.039 --> 00:44:04.559 rules to the Wind. They do that a lot though. That's just that's 604 00:44:04.559 --> 00:44:08.639 just kind of the way w has presented their products forever, where sometimes match 605 00:44:08.679 --> 00:44:15.079 stipulations and rules don't apply when they don't want them to, and do when 606 00:44:15.079 --> 00:44:19.440 they don't want them to, or don't when they don't want them too. 607 00:44:19.559 --> 00:44:22.960 So that's a very broad statement. You'd have to give me specifics, but 608 00:44:23.039 --> 00:44:25.960 all right, PS, totally random, but if you and your listeners are 609 00:44:27.000 --> 00:44:32.400 interested. I was the guest on August eleventh episode of Talk Is Jericho where 610 00:44:32.440 --> 00:44:37.280 we talked about UFOs. Yep, talk about a sword for you. Oh 611 00:44:37.440 --> 00:44:40.119 cool, keep up the great work, and congrats on Elna finally getting the 612 00:44:40.119 --> 00:44:44.960 push we've been holding our collective breath on. Well, I wouldn't say he's 613 00:44:45.000 --> 00:44:46.400 got a push. I mean, right now, he's won a battle royal, 614 00:44:46.400 --> 00:44:51.239 which isn't exactly something you put at the top of your resume. Lana 615 00:44:51.360 --> 00:44:53.559 hasn't done much of anything yet, but it's the start, I would say, 616 00:44:53.880 --> 00:45:00.719 you know, it's the start. So you were on the Talcas Jericho 617 00:45:00.920 --> 00:45:06.320 UFO discussion on August eleventh. I have not listened to that episode, but 618 00:45:06.519 --> 00:45:10.119 maybe I will. Maybe I will, because yeah, UFOs are something that 619 00:45:10.159 --> 00:45:15.199 I could probably create a whole podcast on that. That's kind of my side 620 00:45:15.039 --> 00:45:20.119 interest as well. Like I mean, laugh if you will. But UFOs 621 00:45:20.719 --> 00:45:25.280 or UF's, you know, it's unidentified aerial phenomena now is how they I 622 00:45:25.320 --> 00:45:30.960 guess how they identify them? Or Bigfoot? Okay, Bigfoot? I note 623 00:45:30.960 --> 00:45:32.639 which I will say this, and I don't know if I mentioned this on 624 00:45:32.679 --> 00:45:39.320 the show. Very very much aside thing here, I was never really a 625 00:45:39.320 --> 00:45:43.320 big believer that there's big foot. You know, they clearly would have found 626 00:45:43.360 --> 00:45:46.159 remains. I didn't believe in it. And I'm not saying I'm not about 627 00:45:46.199 --> 00:45:49.840 to say I've seen one. Okay, I'm not. But what I will 628 00:45:49.880 --> 00:45:53.719 say is this, if you guys haven't seen the show Expedition Bigfoot, you 629 00:45:53.840 --> 00:45:58.760 should, Okay, some of the evidence they collect, and we're about they're 630 00:45:58.760 --> 00:46:02.480 about to drop season four where they go to Alaska, I would highly recommend 631 00:46:02.519 --> 00:46:07.880 you watch that. It may it may make you will not They don't find 632 00:46:07.920 --> 00:46:10.599 like Bigfoot in front of their camera, but some of the things that they 633 00:46:10.639 --> 00:46:17.239 find in the woods are related to Bigfoot. It's it's indisputable evidence that there's 634 00:46:17.280 --> 00:46:23.159 something out there, and it just it just is. Okay, So I 635 00:46:23.159 --> 00:46:27.360 would very highly recommend if you're interested in such things, if you care about 636 00:46:27.400 --> 00:46:30.719 like cryptozoology and all that, watch Expedition Bigfoot. I know there's a lot 637 00:46:30.760 --> 00:46:35.320 of other big show Bigfoot shows out there. Some of them are just boring. 638 00:46:35.360 --> 00:46:37.519 You know, they're never going to find anything. Oh there's a knock 639 00:46:37.559 --> 00:46:39.639 in the woods. It must be Bigfoot, right you just the whole show 640 00:46:39.679 --> 00:46:44.719 is built up to just a knock in the woods. This show, it's 641 00:46:44.800 --> 00:46:51.039 real, it's not produced, it's it's raw, very well done. If 642 00:46:51.039 --> 00:46:54.800 you're interested in such things, watch Expedition Bigfoot. Okay, three seasons are 643 00:46:54.800 --> 00:47:00.519 about to drop. Season four. Okay, thank you. Ryan got me 644 00:47:00.559 --> 00:47:06.639 all on a big Foot tangent. Now all right, let's see this is 645 00:47:06.719 --> 00:47:10.360 from Freeman. Firstly, I was impressed with Logan, Paul and Ricochet. 646 00:47:12.000 --> 00:47:16.480 The match was stunning. He made me forget why I found the whole situation 647 00:47:16.599 --> 00:47:20.360 dell to begin with. But now it's over, it felt like it felt 648 00:47:20.400 --> 00:47:22.559 a little too in the moment. It doesn't seem to set anything up going 649 00:47:22.599 --> 00:47:25.920 forward or resolve anything that happened in the past. But overall the match, 650 00:47:27.039 --> 00:47:30.280 the quality of the match was perfect for an opener to get everyone in the 651 00:47:30.280 --> 00:47:34.519 mood, and unfortunately for a lot of people, the match quality went way 652 00:47:34.559 --> 00:47:37.719 down after this, like it started at the top. Was sure, it 653 00:47:37.760 --> 00:47:39.960 was a great way to get to set the tone, but the tone wasn't 654 00:47:39.960 --> 00:47:45.840 followed through on all right, Brock versus Cody, I felt a little lost. 655 00:47:45.280 --> 00:47:49.480 I'm told Brock is a big name in an all time great I've never 656 00:47:49.519 --> 00:47:53.119 heard of him before this arc, and so my expectations were higher after hearing 657 00:47:53.159 --> 00:47:59.119 all the love he gets. Maybe I built it up too much in my 658 00:47:59.119 --> 00:48:01.599 head, but I came expecting more from him. What was overall a good 659 00:48:01.599 --> 00:48:07.719 but fairly run of the mill match. Well wait for first of all, 660 00:48:07.719 --> 00:48:17.599 wait did you say you you've never heard of Brock before this match. If 661 00:48:17.639 --> 00:48:22.599 that's the case and you're not just pulling my leg, how is my first 662 00:48:22.679 --> 00:48:24.840 question? Even if you're not a fan of wrestling or whatever, Even if 663 00:48:24.840 --> 00:48:30.440 you don't know what pro wrestling is, if you've never even understood what WWE 664 00:48:30.559 --> 00:48:36.960 is, you don't understand the concept of pro wrestling, it's actually impressive that 665 00:48:37.239 --> 00:48:40.280 you've gone. I don't know how old you are, but you've gone presumably 666 00:48:40.400 --> 00:48:44.920 a few decades in your life, and you have not heard the name brock 667 00:48:45.000 --> 00:48:50.159 Lessner in any capacity. I mean he hasn't just WWE obviously had a very 668 00:48:50.159 --> 00:48:53.440 accomplished career in MMA. He's he is at this point a household name, 669 00:48:54.079 --> 00:48:59.239 So I'm not making fun of you. It's actually more impressive that you've never 670 00:48:59.440 --> 00:49:04.320 if you've never heard of him before. That so kind of cool in a 671 00:49:04.400 --> 00:49:07.280 very strange way. The MMA rules match them having to explain the rules of 672 00:49:07.280 --> 00:49:13.559 the ring just before started starting made me laugh. It shows how ill thought 673 00:49:13.559 --> 00:49:16.079 out this whole thing was and made me realize how sloppily thrown together the whole 674 00:49:16.079 --> 00:49:22.719 story is. From a lackluster betrayal through the past few weeks up to not 675 00:49:22.800 --> 00:49:24.960 even knowing the rules of the match before the match starts. No planning was 676 00:49:25.000 --> 00:49:30.800 putting into the and put into this and going to and it showed, Yeah, 677 00:49:30.840 --> 00:49:32.159 I mean I understand that. And no one was a fan. I 678 00:49:32.199 --> 00:49:36.440 would be honest, no one was a fan of this. Most people weren't. 679 00:49:36.840 --> 00:49:39.559 But it's over and you can move on. The Women's Championship belt and 680 00:49:39.639 --> 00:49:43.639 Neo Sky taking the belt just seemed a little too predictable. And when I 681 00:49:43.760 --> 00:49:47.199 sat down I thought about it, there wasn't anything else CEO could actually do 682 00:49:47.280 --> 00:49:51.079 with the money the bank contract. They aren't going to have both women's belts 683 00:49:51.119 --> 00:49:54.440 on SmackDown, so there's only one belt and that she could cash in on. 684 00:49:54.880 --> 00:49:58.400 So if she didn't use it now, what would she be saving it 685 00:49:58.480 --> 00:50:00.840 for? So left one ding. What's the point of even having the women's 686 00:50:00.840 --> 00:50:05.880 money in the bank match when there isn't a cool use for the contract? 687 00:50:06.639 --> 00:50:09.440 Also, can we please separate EO from Bailey. I've only been watching a 688 00:50:09.480 --> 00:50:13.480 month and I were already sick of how jointed the hip those two are. 689 00:50:13.519 --> 00:50:16.639 Well they tease them splitting, the tension has always been there. I was 690 00:50:16.639 --> 00:50:22.039 hoping that the whole faction of Damage Control had been just finally scrapped. But 691 00:50:22.119 --> 00:50:27.039 it's not. Sadly, but EO and Bailey. It needs to happen, 692 00:50:27.639 --> 00:50:32.400 please. EO and Bailey has been in the background for way too long at 693 00:50:32.440 --> 00:50:36.960 this point. Think about this. Bailey returned last year and she hasn't done 694 00:50:37.199 --> 00:50:43.960 anything of note, nothing since she returned, and she formed a faction. 695 00:50:45.599 --> 00:50:49.559 So Bailey needs to come to the forefront. I miss Bailey as champion, 696 00:50:49.920 --> 00:50:53.559 or at least in the championship picture seth versus Finn was the highlight of the 697 00:50:53.599 --> 00:50:58.079 show. This sets up so much potential an ongoing story. I can't wait 698 00:50:58.119 --> 00:51:00.559 to see how it goes. So all turns out and the beauty of this 699 00:51:00.719 --> 00:51:06.159 is Finn has no one to blame but himself, easy target to deflect blame 700 00:51:06.360 --> 00:51:09.480 from himself. Seeing how this spirals from here will be the major takeaway from 701 00:51:09.519 --> 00:51:15.960 Summer Slam from me, well cool, your name's Matt so oh, okay, 702 00:51:15.960 --> 00:51:20.239 Matt so very good, very good, very good. All right, 703 00:51:20.920 --> 00:51:24.719 let's what do we got? I think I have Chandler. So Chandler says, 704 00:51:24.800 --> 00:51:28.840 let me talk to you. Summer Slam delivered from me personally, but 705 00:51:28.880 --> 00:51:32.760 I could see how some would say it underdelivered. And the Finn and Seth 706 00:51:32.800 --> 00:51:37.039 match was by far a favorite creative finish, and Seth attire was a nice 707 00:51:37.079 --> 00:51:40.960 touch. I forgot to talk about this last week, but the Cody and 708 00:51:40.960 --> 00:51:45.679 Brock video package was amazing and well put together. They had a good song 709 00:51:45.760 --> 00:51:51.159 that needed the need to do more like that. Also, you're complimenting the 710 00:51:51.199 --> 00:51:52.519 song. Okay, Chandler, I think you're in the minority here, but 711 00:51:52.920 --> 00:51:57.960 teach their owe. I actually forgot New Day was on raw didn't didn't have 712 00:51:58.039 --> 00:52:00.760 much to say about them, yet no one cares as they returned. I'm 713 00:52:00.760 --> 00:52:04.480 sorry, no one cares when I say no one. Of course there are 714 00:52:04.519 --> 00:52:07.880 people out there, but generally like no one's talking about the New Day's return. 715 00:52:07.079 --> 00:52:10.480 It's not a it's it's not the first thing on people's minds. It's 716 00:52:10.480 --> 00:52:14.880 just run of the mill. All they're back, okay, sure whatever, 717 00:52:15.119 --> 00:52:19.519 Like that's that's that's the reaction. I mean that that's it's just kind of 718 00:52:19.880 --> 00:52:25.400 very much indifference. Let's see, I'm extremely happy that Gabel got a win, 719 00:52:25.480 --> 00:52:28.840 and a big win at that. I don't think he's gonna beat Gunther, 720 00:52:29.039 --> 00:52:31.880 but it feels like it feels good to see him getting an nice push 721 00:52:32.320 --> 00:52:37.400 i'lbeit temporary, I mean just probably is back to Finn and Seth. With 722 00:52:37.440 --> 00:52:39.159 Finn attacking Seth on Monday, it feels like they're gonna have another match, 723 00:52:39.360 --> 00:52:42.960 but I feel like there's no reason to have another match unless they're gonna take 724 00:52:42.960 --> 00:52:45.559 the title off Seth. Well, I think this is leading to, more 725 00:52:45.599 --> 00:52:51.320 importantly, a Finn and Damian split. That's what I think. Becky and 726 00:52:51.360 --> 00:52:55.320 Trish's is weird and boring and it makes zero sense last week that they had 727 00:52:55.320 --> 00:53:00.239 a match and Stark interfeared, and this week Beck says that they will have 728 00:53:00.239 --> 00:53:04.400 another match next week. So what top what stops Stark from interfering in the 729 00:53:05.760 --> 00:53:09.119 interfering is barred from ringside? Is that the steel cage. It makes a 730 00:53:09.159 --> 00:53:14.400 little sense, Well is it in a steel cage? I don't. I 731 00:53:14.400 --> 00:53:16.320 don't think it is. But if they're going to tell us and try to 732 00:53:16.400 --> 00:53:19.800 drive that narrative home that, oh well it's gonna be in a steel cage, 733 00:53:19.800 --> 00:53:23.559 so no one can interfere. No that that has proven to be true 734 00:53:23.719 --> 00:53:29.880 zero percent of the time. In fact, it invites more interference. And 735 00:53:30.239 --> 00:53:34.880 you know what's more effective, Adam Pierce just telling people they're barred from ringside 736 00:53:35.119 --> 00:53:39.320 and saying if you if you interfere, you're suspended. That's it. That's 737 00:53:39.360 --> 00:53:45.320 more effective than a physical steel structure. Is just words. So if they 738 00:53:45.320 --> 00:53:50.960 truly want no interference, that's what will happen. I thought Shinskay was already 739 00:53:51.000 --> 00:53:52.800 a heel. He attacked Champo for interfering in his match with Bronze Read three 740 00:53:52.840 --> 00:53:55.639 weeks ago or maybe it was four, but I'm so confused right now. 741 00:53:55.719 --> 00:54:00.559 That's it for this week. Yeah, this kind of leads into the previous 742 00:54:00.599 --> 00:54:07.000 email or about the wishy washiness of defining heels and baby faces. It's just 743 00:54:07.079 --> 00:54:09.559 kind of whoever you know, it's for Shinskay. It had been up to 744 00:54:09.599 --> 00:54:13.760 this point kind of a back and forth. Whatever we need you to be, 745 00:54:13.840 --> 00:54:17.039 You're going to be that night. That's seems to be where Finns or 746 00:54:17.119 --> 00:54:24.400 Shinn has been living. All right, let's see where else? I think. 747 00:54:25.239 --> 00:54:30.960 Let's see I know I deleted there was an email I deleted by accident, 748 00:54:30.960 --> 00:54:35.920 and oh there it is Peter. This is the I think this is 749 00:54:35.920 --> 00:54:39.119 the final email. So Peter says, I don't know where you're from, 750 00:54:39.159 --> 00:54:45.039 but I don't know. I thought I saw a place. Let's move on. 751 00:54:45.960 --> 00:54:51.519 Is it ironic? Now that's SmackDown? That it's SmackDown? Who needs 752 00:54:51.559 --> 00:54:54.639 to work hard to elevate the US title. We've spoken about Raw and needing 753 00:54:54.639 --> 00:54:59.039 to do this while there was no world heavyweight champion. Raw did a great 754 00:54:59.079 --> 00:55:01.559 job. Since Austin he arrived on SmackDown, they've essentially let the title and 755 00:55:01.760 --> 00:55:05.800 theory go to waste. Speaking of theory, they just throw him in the 756 00:55:05.800 --> 00:55:09.400 Summerslime Battle Royal as gap filler. My wish is weirdly to see theory in 757 00:55:09.440 --> 00:55:13.679 the judgment day. I think theory would be a nice fit there. That's 758 00:55:13.719 --> 00:55:15.840 a that's a hell of an idea. It'd be more relevant than anything he's 759 00:55:15.880 --> 00:55:21.760 done since WrestleMania, that's for sure. But I don't think SmackDown needs to 760 00:55:21.760 --> 00:55:25.559 elevate the US title. I think the talent needs to elevate the US title. 761 00:55:25.599 --> 00:55:29.679 Creative needs to get back behind it. The US title has lost so 762 00:55:29.760 --> 00:55:34.679 much value since it was put in Austin theory, and that's really disappointing because 763 00:55:34.719 --> 00:55:37.840 we thought it was would be the very opposite. There was even talking at 764 00:55:37.880 --> 00:55:42.039 one point of Austin Theory beating Roman Reigns for his title many months ago. 765 00:55:42.159 --> 00:55:46.880 Right, So it's it's really about just putting video packages together, some interviews 766 00:55:46.880 --> 00:55:52.119 again, you know, having it be more of a central piece of SmackDown. 767 00:55:52.119 --> 00:55:57.280 It can be, especially if people are just the wrestlers are going to 768 00:55:57.360 --> 00:56:00.239 ignore the fact that there's a more important title around the waste of Roman Reigns. 769 00:56:01.039 --> 00:56:05.639 You can at least start to talk about the US title and make it 770 00:56:05.639 --> 00:56:12.480 and not just a one segment but multi segment part of SmackDown. So all 771 00:56:12.519 --> 00:56:15.960 right, Peter I almost missed you. That was a close one, all 772 00:56:16.039 --> 00:56:24.440 right, so let's see I think, wait now, hold on, I 773 00:56:24.519 --> 00:56:28.440 do this every time, guys. I told you this is a lot tonight 774 00:56:28.480 --> 00:56:30.480 you guys are you? Guys got a lot for me? But this is 775 00:56:30.519 --> 00:56:35.079 I promise the last email. If there's anybody else after this, sorry, 776 00:56:35.440 --> 00:56:38.400 I mean I need to get the voicemails. So this is from Thomas and 777 00:56:38.480 --> 00:56:43.559 he says, there goes SummerSlam. Mixed bag for me. The Women's Championship 778 00:56:43.599 --> 00:56:47.239 match had a fast pace and flow. It had NonStop in ring action without 779 00:56:47.320 --> 00:56:51.519 the need for an over the top spot. All three of them really showed 780 00:56:51.519 --> 00:56:54.920 their world class ability and further cements the standard need for the developmental rising of 781 00:56:54.920 --> 00:57:00.000 female stars to reach the top. Eo Sky cashing in and winning the Women's 782 00:57:00.079 --> 00:57:02.559 Championship was amazing and well deserved. I think she will turn on Bailey, 783 00:57:04.000 --> 00:57:07.519 claiming to have used Bailey after she becomes less relevant. I hope it's the 784 00:57:07.599 --> 00:57:09.960 other way around. I think Bailey turns on her. I hope that is 785 00:57:10.840 --> 00:57:15.840 happy to cla night get a PLI win. I would have preferred it to 786 00:57:15.960 --> 00:57:20.800 be something more meaningful than a Battle Royale, which always feels like a filler 787 00:57:20.920 --> 00:57:24.000 to get the unused man active. Unused man active, but at least he 788 00:57:24.000 --> 00:57:28.840 has been rewarded and acknowledged again. Guys. Yeah, this is a starting 789 00:57:28.880 --> 00:57:32.280 point for Night. I know everyone wants a bigger victory, but it's just 790 00:57:32.559 --> 00:57:37.119 the starting blocks we just started, and he needs something to ground himself in 791 00:57:37.199 --> 00:57:42.079 and this was it. So that's how I'm viewing it. My disappointment in 792 00:57:42.119 --> 00:57:46.400 the main event is beyond words, another solo interference for Roman and another bloodline 793 00:57:46.400 --> 00:57:51.840 member for USO being involved in the ending. I feel stupid for hoping Voldemort 794 00:57:51.920 --> 00:57:54.719 would come back, of course, referring to the rock and most opportunity and 795 00:57:54.719 --> 00:57:59.960 poetic time. The match was again incredible quality and in match storytelling at its 796 00:58:00.079 --> 00:58:04.679 finest. Roman moves on to new challengers. I'm guessing Jimmy turned on Jay 797 00:58:04.960 --> 00:58:08.159 as he felt Jay had no divine right to become the next travel Chief, 798 00:58:08.199 --> 00:58:14.159 placing himself above Jimmy may have been regarded as disrespectful. Yeah, I'm sure 799 00:58:14.159 --> 00:58:15.920 it has something to do with that. That's probably something that they'll try to 800 00:58:15.920 --> 00:58:22.159 sell us. You know, all right, the main event, the main 801 00:58:22.239 --> 00:58:27.480 question for you, have you noticed the downed superstars are now constantly watching the 802 00:58:27.519 --> 00:58:30.639 referee pinfall counts, and this seems to be happening more than ever. Roman 803 00:58:30.719 --> 00:58:35.000 is the true king of near falls. He can kick out with split seconds 804 00:58:35.079 --> 00:58:40.920 left with his eyes closed. Brock and Jay Brock and Jay possess a similar 805 00:58:40.960 --> 00:58:45.920 ability. I think it was the Balord Rollins match with the most pin watching 806 00:58:45.199 --> 00:58:52.159 Roman versus Jay had little to none. It's a pretty critique, but when 807 00:58:52.159 --> 00:58:54.880 you see the superstar look at the referee, you know they will kick out, 808 00:58:54.920 --> 00:59:00.159 and it spoils the drama and shock massively. For me, surely the 809 00:59:00.159 --> 00:59:05.559 most important parts of the match, stars and referee should practice they're near pinfalls. 810 00:59:05.880 --> 00:59:10.079 I find this more frustrating than overly loud stars calling their moves in front 811 00:59:10.079 --> 00:59:14.679 of the cameras. That said, wrestling is in a great place at the 812 00:59:14.719 --> 00:59:17.159 moment. Bring on the next pl Sorry for the long email. I haven't 813 00:59:17.239 --> 00:59:22.159 heard or I haven't heard your pre and post summer Slim shows yet. I'll 814 00:59:22.159 --> 00:59:28.039 catch up Monday. Well, I'll enjoy the shows. That's a interesting and 815 00:59:28.559 --> 00:59:35.280 poignant observation. I've been critical of the announcers, specifically Cole, who is 816 00:59:35.320 --> 00:59:39.119 really good, but he just cannot help himself of calling something before it happens, 817 00:59:39.119 --> 00:59:44.039 which tells you the opposite is happening. So they're gonna win the championship 818 00:59:44.119 --> 00:59:46.039 right here, and it's like, oh, f you, Cole, Now 819 00:59:46.320 --> 00:59:51.239 it ain't happening right, not happening now. I know his job is to 820 00:59:51.239 --> 00:59:53.440 bring you in, make you believe, but anybody that's been a fan for 821 00:59:53.440 --> 00:59:57.920 any amount of time just immediately knows that you're just that's your job, and 822 00:59:58.400 --> 01:00:01.599 everything you say right now is the opposite. But that's interesting. Yes, 823 01:00:01.639 --> 01:00:06.639 I have noticed that, and I maybe my subconscious has just pushed that aside 824 01:00:06.679 --> 01:00:08.639 to make me just more engaged in the product. But if you don't know 825 01:00:08.639 --> 01:00:13.519 what I'm to if you don't understand the email here, what Tommy is saying 826 01:00:13.639 --> 01:00:15.679 is when there is a fall that is not going to be the end of 827 01:00:15.679 --> 01:00:20.360 the match, it's a near fall. If the camera catches the eyes of 828 01:00:20.400 --> 01:00:24.320 the guy on his back and you can see that person who's on their back 829 01:00:24.440 --> 01:00:29.320 looking at the referee, you know they're kicking out more often than not, 830 01:00:29.400 --> 01:00:32.840 if maybe it's one hundred percent. The reason is they're looking at the referee 831 01:00:32.920 --> 01:00:37.400 is because they're trying to gauge the pacing, the cadence of the count, 832 01:00:37.719 --> 01:00:42.800 so they kick out just in time, and I agree with you, Tommy. 833 01:00:42.880 --> 01:00:45.760 Yeah, I don't know what the solution is though. I mean, 834 01:00:45.760 --> 01:00:49.480 if you close your eyes and just use your ears, you could cause a 835 01:00:49.519 --> 01:00:54.760 situation in which you know you're you're not getting all the information where the count 836 01:00:54.760 --> 01:01:01.920 of the referee might be off a little bit in your sound and it doesn't 837 01:01:01.920 --> 01:01:05.840 give you the full picture, so you're not kicking out exactly when you should. 838 01:01:07.199 --> 01:01:09.039 Maybe what they could do is just close their eyes a little more so 839 01:01:09.119 --> 01:01:13.159 it doesn't look like their eyes are wide open looking at the hand come down 840 01:01:13.239 --> 01:01:17.639 to kick out right at two and three quarters. So now everyone can't unsee 841 01:01:17.679 --> 01:01:22.840 that. So thanks Tommy. Oh gosh, all right, so here we 842 01:01:22.880 --> 01:01:24.920 go. I think we're done. Yeah, we're done with the emails. 843 01:01:24.920 --> 01:01:29.239 Guys, even anyone emails me here. Sorry, you know you're you're not 844 01:01:29.239 --> 01:01:31.679 getting on the show. I mean, you're just not sorry. I need 845 01:01:31.719 --> 01:01:35.440 to move on to voicemails, and we're gonna do that in short order, 846 01:01:35.679 --> 01:01:44.760 right now. So let's do it.

Hey, Matt and the rest of the rest of 903 01:05:35.880 --> 01:05:40.239 the Taka family, this is actually something different this week from me. For 904 01:05:40.280 --> 01:05:43.079 the first time in a couple of weeks. This is not the cord Great 905 01:05:43.119 --> 01:05:46.320 report. I'm not even sending these in on on that Wednesday, I mean 906 01:05:46.559 --> 01:05:51.280 on Tuesday. I'm not one day, one day one of the things in 907 01:05:51.320 --> 01:05:57.639 on Wednesday sending me sending this in Friday, one day before summerslie. The 908 01:05:57.719 --> 01:06:00.800 reason why is I actually forgot to mention this in the l and my last 909 01:06:00.840 --> 01:06:03.719 voicemail for the Cordata port on the mailbay takeover addition on that voice. And 910 01:06:03.760 --> 01:06:09.360 I forgot to mention this. I'm actually going away on vacation for like two 911 01:06:09.400 --> 01:06:15.000 weeks Dirty Park, Pennsylvania. We're going there from this coming Tuesday, the 912 01:06:15.199 --> 01:06:19.920 eighth, all the way to August nineteen. So I'm gonna lay again. 913 01:06:20.119 --> 01:06:23.400 I'm really missing the next two mail days. I'm still gonna be listening. 914 01:06:23.719 --> 01:06:26.760 I have Spot on my phone stuff. I'm still gonna be listening to all 915 01:06:26.800 --> 01:06:30.760 the podcasts on the mailback episodes while I'm on vacation. But for the next 916 01:06:30.800 --> 01:06:33.719 two mailback episodes, I'm not going to be on them because I'm gonna be 917 01:06:33.719 --> 01:06:36.159 on vacation. It's just not really I'm gonna be a family So it's like 918 01:06:36.800 --> 01:06:41.280 I'm not really gonna drive a call or anything. Funny. What you guys 919 01:06:41.320 --> 01:06:44.400 now, So if you don't hear from me next two weeks, yeah, 920 01:06:44.599 --> 01:06:46.360 that's the why. So if anyone wants to fill in with the Corderat report 921 01:06:46.400 --> 01:06:49.360 for the next two weeks, feel free. Someone wants to do the Cordat 922 01:06:49.360 --> 01:06:54.880 report for the next two mailbacks, go for it. But that's not It's 923 01:06:54.920 --> 01:06:59.920 okay, I get it. People are busy. I wanted to say I'm 924 01:07:00.079 --> 01:07:02.320 gonna watching somemerslim swimming, watching all the wrestling on my phone on a vacation, 925 01:07:02.400 --> 01:07:05.960 so I'm gonna be all cut up. Still, that's all. Talk 926 01:07:06.000 --> 01:07:10.760 to you guys in two weeks. See you later, all right, Kyle, 927 01:07:10.920 --> 01:07:13.400 Well, enjoy vacation. Yeah, I'm actually going to be going on 928 01:07:13.400 --> 01:07:18.480 a vacation myself, and that'll be going probably like four or five days, 929 01:07:18.559 --> 01:07:24.880 maybe six, starting next Saturday to the following Saturday. But I'll still be 930 01:07:24.960 --> 01:07:29.159 able to hopefully crank out some episodes here the mailbag. Maybe shoddy. I'm 931 01:07:29.159 --> 01:07:30.400 not sure how that's gonna work. We'll talk more about that next week. 932 01:07:30.840 --> 01:07:34.440 But you know, my best is my best effort will be made to continue 933 01:07:34.440 --> 01:07:39.000 to pump out content because I mean, we have WiFi. It's just a 934 01:07:39.039 --> 01:07:41.800 matter of finding a location. I'm in a house with a bunch of other 935 01:07:41.840 --> 01:07:45.039 people and a bunch of other kids. Sometimes I remember doing some shows in 936 01:07:45.119 --> 01:07:48.079 my car. There's bring my laptop in my car at night, and like 937 01:07:48.719 --> 01:07:54.320 do that. So but anyway, Kyle, enjoy your vacation. I hope 938 01:07:54.320 --> 01:07:56.639 you have some rests. Well. We'll, of course, you know, 939 01:07:56.880 --> 01:08:00.599 talk to you in a couple of weeks and appreciate your contracts. Alrighty, 940 01:08:01.280 --> 01:08:03.920 here we go to our next one. It's Kyle from Baltimore. So I 941 01:08:03.960 --> 01:08:10.320 wanted to talk about Summer Sland last night. I thought overall was good. 942 01:08:10.639 --> 01:08:15.039 For the most I can't say grave it was good, and I think for 943 01:08:15.119 --> 01:08:19.279 me what I was really hyped over was Eel Sky winning the championship and I 944 01:08:19.399 --> 01:08:24.319 thought I had I had that thought for a while now that Eels could have 945 01:08:24.760 --> 01:08:28.760 cash in and when and when the Shampish ship at Summersland, I kind of 946 01:08:28.800 --> 01:08:32.760 figured out what's could have happened and self clip lab it did and to see 947 01:08:33.680 --> 01:08:38.560 so I'm sure able to go to do net with EO as Shad before SmackDown 948 01:08:38.640 --> 01:08:42.720 and all that stuff. So it'll be fun to see how how her range 949 01:08:42.760 --> 01:08:47.159 going to be fun and in the scene than than Oscar because I don't want 950 01:08:47.159 --> 01:08:49.840 to share for Oscar, but I like the Eel because it's two above them 951 01:08:49.840 --> 01:08:53.560 are j every stars. I enjoy Eel a little bit more than Ask. 952 01:08:53.600 --> 01:08:56.600 I don't know if it's just the personality or what it is, but maybe 953 01:08:56.600 --> 01:09:00.960 because I think also two Eel takes is more to Arius and Osca. If 954 01:09:00.960 --> 01:09:04.279 you if you Aska as like a child. Sometimes every touch he comes out 955 01:09:04.319 --> 01:09:08.960 there and EO comes out there like she comes out like a like an adult, 956 01:09:09.359 --> 01:09:12.560 like a you know, like to be more serious. So I like 957 01:09:12.680 --> 01:09:20.039 that, and so I like the tire being that ales champion. The other 958 01:09:20.119 --> 01:09:25.039 thing is tears that what's that exports steps Rollins at this point now after they're 959 01:09:25.039 --> 01:09:28.600 feeding uh Finn ballet in a better match too, by the way, than 960 01:09:28.640 --> 01:09:31.239 money in the bank. What's that for him heading into you know now that 961 01:09:31.640 --> 01:09:35.880 they're clearly dreading days to break up. Here leaves priests and and vow to 962 01:09:35.920 --> 01:09:41.199 have some issues. What's that first first steps Rolins? Now that's just now 963 01:09:41.399 --> 01:09:45.840 his stuff with just days over worth a big expect for him. But that's 964 01:09:45.880 --> 01:09:49.800 why t sets of Summer Slam. But that's it. They sall, Hey, 965 01:09:49.880 --> 01:09:53.279 we have so many Kyles on the show, a destroy we have newer 966 01:09:53.399 --> 01:09:59.000 Kyle. You know, so many Kyles. But Kyle, I will say, 967 01:09:59.039 --> 01:10:00.960 if you listen to show at this point, I mean you kind of 968 01:10:00.960 --> 01:10:03.199 know one My answer is going to be is Shins Kanakamaro is going to be 969 01:10:03.359 --> 01:10:11.199 a nice holdover for a month maybe two maybe from Payback to fast Lane and 970 01:10:11.279 --> 01:10:15.000 assuming there's no event in Saudi Arabia, which I don't see in the schedule 971 01:10:15.119 --> 01:10:17.520 right now. So assuming that's not the case, I really believe Drew mac 972 01:10:17.600 --> 01:10:24.159 entire turns heel and then we get a Drew versus Seth program where he could 973 01:10:24.239 --> 01:10:27.840 truly take the belt off of Seth late in the year, in November December, 974 01:10:28.199 --> 01:10:30.720 maybe at the Rumble, but a Drew heel turn it would be a 975 01:10:30.760 --> 01:10:33.840 lot of fun. It would just be it would be a lot of fun 976 01:10:33.920 --> 01:10:39.279 for Seth to work with, and really also Cody Rhodes, you know, 977 01:10:39.560 --> 01:10:44.359 maybe Cody Rhodes worked with Drew two. So that's what I think. All 978 01:10:44.439 --> 01:10:47.880 right, thanks so much, buddy. Let's let's go to our next one. 979 01:10:47.880 --> 01:10:49.760 A few left. I think we have three or four left, so 980 01:10:50.039 --> 01:10:55.239 let's let's do it. Hey, Matt, this is Mike from Connectic Kids, 981 01:10:55.319 --> 01:10:58.720 shiming in. It's been a couple of weeks I've reached out to you 982 01:10:58.840 --> 01:11:03.199 guys, but no major questions today, just a couple of observations I have 983 01:11:03.439 --> 01:11:11.239 for you. I've noticed that you are commenting here and there about the Intercontinental 984 01:11:12.079 --> 01:11:18.600 Felt being referred to as heavyweight Champion, in other words, Intercontinental heavyweight Champion. 985 01:11:19.800 --> 01:11:24.800 They actually used to do that A long ways back, and I go 986 01:11:24.960 --> 01:11:29.199 back aways. You know, I'm fifty years old, so I've been watching 987 01:11:29.279 --> 01:11:33.000 since the Golden Age of pultomaning at eighty five eighty six when I started watching. 988 01:11:34.079 --> 01:11:39.800 But specifically I do recall and it always stood out to me. Wait, 989 01:11:39.920 --> 01:11:43.439 even way back when I was a kid, that the macho Man Randy 990 01:11:43.520 --> 01:11:53.159 Savage referred to his Intercontinental Championship felt as the Intercontinental Heavyweight Championship. I don't 991 01:11:53.159 --> 01:11:57.399 remember call anyone else doing that, but I do remember Macho Man doing that 992 01:11:57.479 --> 01:12:00.760 a lot, and he had the prestige to be able to do it because 993 01:12:00.800 --> 01:12:03.640 you really he was the macho man. You know, you believed that he 994 01:12:03.960 --> 01:12:10.920 was the Intercontinental Heavyweight champions. So I just wanted to if you didn't ever 995 01:12:11.039 --> 01:12:14.279 pick up on that, I wanted to let you and your listeners know that 996 01:12:15.000 --> 01:12:20.479 way back it was once called that if we spy Randy Savage. And secondly, 997 01:12:20.680 --> 01:12:25.399 something that made me smile and laugh a little bit. A couple of 998 01:12:25.479 --> 01:12:30.680 weeks ago, you and Anthony were talking about the I think they were still 999 01:12:30.760 --> 01:12:41.479 then tag team champions Selsey Green. You referred to Chelsea Green as Rachel Green. 1000 01:12:42.159 --> 01:12:45.079 So I'm calling you out on that. So I want you to tell 1001 01:12:45.319 --> 01:12:50.800 all of our listeners who exactly Rachel Green is and why that was in the 1002 01:12:50.840 --> 01:12:56.119 back of your head. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm the biggest 1003 01:12:56.159 --> 01:13:00.159 fan is I'm guessing you were of that show. It was a very very 1004 01:13:00.319 --> 01:13:04.279 very funny show. You don't go nine ten seasons without me obviously successful and 1005 01:13:04.319 --> 01:13:10.319 it's funny, But it's time for you to to step up. Who is 1006 01:13:10.960 --> 01:13:15.880 not Chelsea Green? Who is Rachel Green? Fat? I have a Grade 1007 01:13:15.920 --> 01:13:18.880 one WW podcast. You guys are awesome. Keep up the good work and 1008 01:13:19.640 --> 01:13:26.600 I will talk to you soon. One last thing, can we get away? 1009 01:13:26.840 --> 01:13:29.079 I lost my freindits though, so I'll get back down that one. 1010 01:13:29.199 --> 01:13:32.479 All right, take care, Fine, I'm being called out. I didn't 1011 01:13:32.479 --> 01:13:34.439 even know I did that. Sometimes I just make up words, like I 1012 01:13:34.520 --> 01:13:39.279 called p J McDonough like. Sometimes I just do things that are in my 1013 01:13:39.439 --> 01:13:42.079 because my brain says, no, this is a better way. This is 1014 01:13:42.159 --> 01:13:45.640 their real name. So first of all, let me talk to the Intercontinental 1015 01:13:45.760 --> 01:13:49.960 Championship. I think on the actual title it does say Intercontinental Heavyweight Championship, 1016 01:13:50.239 --> 01:13:53.720 which I have no problem with. It makes it sound more prestigious and it's 1017 01:13:53.760 --> 01:13:58.039 heavyweight, so it's the strongest man only. But also if that's the case, 1018 01:13:58.119 --> 01:14:00.920 that would mean there's a weight element to this in a weight qualification. 1019 01:14:00.039 --> 01:14:02.960 And if there's a weight qualification, then I would imagine if we look back 1020 01:14:02.960 --> 01:14:05.800 in the history of the Innercontinental title, that a lot of those men would 1021 01:14:05.840 --> 01:14:10.960 not meet that qualification of being a heavyweight of over two hundred and five pounds 1022 01:14:11.479 --> 01:14:14.920 whatever. I'm fine with it. I did not know that about the macho 1023 01:14:15.000 --> 01:14:16.840 man. I have no problem with it. It's just interesting to me. 1024 01:14:17.520 --> 01:14:21.039 It's just interesting, and Gunther certainly fits the bill to be a heavyweight, 1025 01:14:21.119 --> 01:14:25.119 no doubt. Now as far as Rachel Green, who the hell's Rachel Green 1026 01:14:25.239 --> 01:14:29.600 and not Chelsea? Obviously I misspoke, So Rachel Green, I'm thinking back, 1027 01:14:29.800 --> 01:14:30.359 and I'm like, where the hell did I come up with that? 1028 01:14:31.680 --> 01:14:35.159 I'm imagining because I watch a lot of Friends, the TV show, so 1029 01:14:35.439 --> 01:14:43.239 Rachel Green is a big character on that right. Rachel Green, of course, 1030 01:14:43.359 --> 01:14:46.079 is played by Jennifer Aniston, one of her most famous, if not 1031 01:14:46.159 --> 01:14:50.439 her most famous role in all of television that she's done. So Rachel Green 1032 01:14:50.560 --> 01:14:56.760 from Friends is probably what for some reason I was going to and I have 1033 01:14:56.880 --> 01:14:59.680 been watching Friends lately, so I think that's probably where it came from. 1034 01:15:00.560 --> 01:15:03.359 I don't have any other I don't have any ex's named Rachel or Rachel Green, 1035 01:15:03.720 --> 01:15:08.560 like I don't have any past trauma with any woman named Rachel. So 1036 01:15:08.680 --> 01:15:11.840 if if that's where you're going, I don't unless you know what happened, 1037 01:15:12.279 --> 01:15:15.720 and I'm unaware of which I had many nights. I don't remember that said. 1038 01:15:15.279 --> 01:15:17.920 That's all I could. That's all. That's the only thing to come 1039 01:15:18.000 --> 01:15:21.119 up with. I can't search in the bowels of my brain any deeper deeper 1040 01:15:21.159 --> 01:15:26.119 than that. But I'm glad you enjoy Anthony and myself I enjoyed talking with 1041 01:15:26.199 --> 01:15:30.279 him as well. Okay, let's get to our next voice mail. Hey 1042 01:15:30.399 --> 01:15:36.319 man, there's Justinus for Maryland as well, just calling the talks some summer 1043 01:15:36.359 --> 01:15:44.560 slam and bear a couple questions for you. So first, the main event, 1044 01:15:44.880 --> 01:15:48.840 Roman and Jay. It was a good match. I just gotta say 1045 01:15:49.000 --> 01:15:55.359 that. Don't hold Jimmy turn. It just really just okay. I once 1046 01:15:55.399 --> 01:15:59.039 say I was disappointed, but I just really didn't expect that to happen. 1047 01:16:00.439 --> 01:16:02.279 Like I thought that, you know, Jay was gonna get you know, 1048 01:16:02.439 --> 01:16:05.079 beat down, you know, he was gonna make a comeback, but not 1049 01:16:05.239 --> 01:16:11.720 win. But I definitely didn't expect Jay to like turn and help Roman win. 1050 01:16:12.119 --> 01:16:14.880 And it didn't even seem that Roman even knew what was going on. 1051 01:16:15.119 --> 01:16:17.600 I don't know if he called it, but Roman's face was just confusion, 1052 01:16:18.079 --> 01:16:23.199 and it looked like Paul Hayman like he was standing behind Jimmy just like, 1053 01:16:23.840 --> 01:16:27.760 you know, just doing his little face expressions, and it seem like Paul 1054 01:16:27.840 --> 01:16:30.520 Haymon might have had something to do with it, and Roman didn't know. 1055 01:16:30.199 --> 01:16:35.359 So Devin interested to see where it goes SmackDown. I'm just not I was 1056 01:16:35.439 --> 01:16:40.760 just honestly made me sad because like, you turned on your own twin brother, 1057 01:16:41.399 --> 01:16:45.039 like your little twin. You guys are like almost the same, you 1058 01:16:45.159 --> 01:16:48.239 look the same, and then you just turned on him in his biggest moment. 1059 01:16:48.600 --> 01:16:51.199 And I just think back to when Jimmy, you know, when they 1060 01:16:51.239 --> 01:16:58.640 had the whole segment and it came out that Jimmy that Jimmy was he was 1061 01:16:58.760 --> 01:17:01.560 basically jealous of Jay because Jay was the right hand man and stuff. So 1062 01:17:01.600 --> 01:17:05.319 I feel like they'll play on that, but I just really didn't. I 1063 01:17:05.439 --> 01:17:14.319 just wasn't really happy with that. Honestly next see so Seth and I guess, 1064 01:17:14.600 --> 01:17:18.479 uh, finth Kate next. I don't. I'm not really interested in 1065 01:17:18.600 --> 01:17:24.960 that since Fenskate has been teasing the hill Turn for weeks now, so I 1066 01:17:25.039 --> 01:17:30.119 guess they pulled the trigger. So I guess they'll go with him and Seth 1067 01:17:30.199 --> 01:17:34.119 at Payback. Of course, since they're not gonna win, probably get like 1068 01:17:34.199 --> 01:17:40.399 a four star maybe five star match. But that, like that whole thing 1069 01:17:40.520 --> 01:17:44.039 was interesting because with Seth and Cody, you can still feel the tension. 1070 01:17:44.520 --> 01:17:46.960 Then I honestly thought that they would go with Seth and Cody at Payback. 1071 01:17:47.039 --> 01:17:50.800 Then I'm like, no, because you honestly can't have Cody lose clean right 1072 01:17:50.840 --> 01:17:54.840 now, and you can't have Seth lose. So I was just like, 1073 01:17:55.039 --> 01:17:59.319 Okay, something's going on. So I feel like they're gonna still do Cody 1074 01:17:59.399 --> 01:18:02.479 and step one more time because they definitely have to finish that. But I 1075 01:18:02.640 --> 01:18:05.960 definitely think Tess is going to beat him because I don't think Cody's story is 1076 01:18:05.960 --> 01:18:12.239 going to end with him win the world title. That let me see, 1077 01:18:12.319 --> 01:18:15.479 So Drew McIntire schans By, we might be getting a characters change. We 1078 01:18:15.560 --> 01:18:18.640 didn't get him on a roll this past week. But after his loss, 1079 01:18:19.119 --> 01:18:25.439 he didn't speak. He didn't speak during the interviews. So hopefully, you 1080 01:18:25.520 --> 01:18:28.359 know, we do good a characters chance with Drew. He lost clean. 1081 01:18:28.920 --> 01:18:33.039 I'm sure he dis al Hi justin three minutes gets here again. Maybe three 1082 01:18:33.079 --> 01:18:36.039 minute warning. Maybe that's what I'll just kind of like, name your name, 1083 01:18:36.079 --> 01:18:40.520 your voicemails at this point, your voicemail files that I download. Three 1084 01:18:40.560 --> 01:18:45.359 minute warning, Rosie and Jamal throwback to those that remember the early two thousands 1085 01:18:45.399 --> 01:18:50.319 there fish off anyway, Okay, Jimmy, I agree it was. It 1086 01:18:50.439 --> 01:18:55.279 was kind of a disappointment. You know, it was a turn. But 1087 01:18:55.520 --> 01:18:59.760 was it a turn for the right reasons? I don't know. Time will 1088 01:18:59.760 --> 01:19:03.399 tell, but it feels very Jeff Matt Hardy ish, where like, yeah, 1089 01:19:03.439 --> 01:19:05.319 we know who's the heel, who's the good guy, who's the bad 1090 01:19:05.359 --> 01:19:10.239 guy? We understand that, but are people even wanting to see this? 1091 01:19:11.640 --> 01:19:15.800 Do people really want to see the usos fight one another? That's going to 1092 01:19:15.840 --> 01:19:18.000 be remaining. That's remains to be seen, no doubt about that. Now. 1093 01:19:18.039 --> 01:19:20.560 As far as Cody and Seth, I don't think it's going to be 1094 01:19:20.600 --> 01:19:23.520 payback. I don't think it's going to be at fast Lane. I think 1095 01:19:23.520 --> 01:19:27.920 it's gonna be Survivor Series or later. I really do. Hell, they 1096 01:19:28.000 --> 01:19:31.199 could even fight each other at WrestleMania and wait that long, because now we've 1097 01:19:31.239 --> 01:19:35.079 seen a pattern where one interrupts the other after their program is closed, and 1098 01:19:35.159 --> 01:19:38.399 you think they're going to go there, and then it happens again, and 1099 01:19:38.439 --> 01:19:42.640 they get interrupted again and detoured. So they keep crossing paths but not able 1100 01:19:42.680 --> 01:19:46.760 to follow through because they keep getting interrupted by side projects right by detours of 1101 01:19:46.920 --> 01:19:50.479 other guys. So it's gonna I think they're gonna keep doing this. They 1102 01:19:50.520 --> 01:19:55.279 could string it out all the way to Mania. They could Seth and Cody 1103 01:19:55.439 --> 01:19:59.079 could have their fourth match, because it would be their fourth and by the 1104 01:19:59.119 --> 01:20:02.239 way, Cody has been and Seth all three times prior, and they could 1105 01:20:02.279 --> 01:20:05.199 have that matchup Mania. But then wouldn't that require one of them to turn 1106 01:20:05.279 --> 01:20:09.800 heel? It doesn't always have to happen. Big baby Face versus Big baby 1107 01:20:09.840 --> 01:20:14.199 Faces is a dynamic we've seen before, but the fans usually will then be 1108 01:20:14.279 --> 01:20:17.640 forced to choose someone to cheer for. It'd be it's a bit of a 1109 01:20:17.760 --> 01:20:21.399 dangerous thing to do. But right now, I don't think they have any 1110 01:20:21.439 --> 01:20:25.560 intention in the short term of putting these two together, yet they just keep 1111 01:20:25.600 --> 01:20:29.239 teasing you, telling you it's coming. Thanks, justin a couple more and 1112 01:20:29.359 --> 01:20:35.560 we'll close it out. This is Chris and Gallia Albert. So we're also 1113 01:20:35.640 --> 01:20:42.680 going to be at SmackDown in Calgary. And but right now we would like 1114 01:20:42.800 --> 01:20:45.439 to talk about summers. All right, Matt started off. We'd like to 1115 01:20:45.520 --> 01:20:50.359 hear a rants. What are the logistics of having four main event matches out 1116 01:20:50.399 --> 01:20:55.359 of pay per view or pl E. Wow? Yeah, well we've only 1117 01:20:55.439 --> 01:20:58.680 got three minutes, Chris, So let's talk about the nine matches and our 1118 01:20:58.720 --> 01:21:02.039 takeaways from the summer Flint. First of all, Logan Paul and Ricochet, 1119 01:21:02.680 --> 01:21:08.439 so we both agree it was amazing athleticism, great match, kind of tarnished, 1120 01:21:08.479 --> 01:21:13.439 finished with brass knuckles, Yeah, but typical Logan Paul slimey style. 1121 01:21:13.840 --> 01:21:16.800 Okay. And so what do we not like about this? Mostly we do 1122 01:21:17.079 --> 01:21:23.319 not like the fact that Logan Paul is taking his prime energy drinks from children, 1123 01:21:23.880 --> 01:21:27.640 very very bad stuff, controversial things, yeah, not okay, okay. 1124 01:21:27.720 --> 01:21:31.079 Cody Rhodes first, brock Lessner. I didn't like that brock Lessner could 1125 01:21:31.079 --> 01:21:34.039 not finish Cody Rhodes. He was weak and out of it, but Brock 1126 01:21:34.079 --> 01:21:39.479 couldn't do it. You know what, I thought that Cody Rhodes really deserved 1127 01:21:39.560 --> 01:21:44.359 to finally win this. But you know, ultimately, what was the best 1128 01:21:44.399 --> 01:21:47.279 part, the best part with the handshake of the end stile honorable, very 1129 01:21:47.359 --> 01:21:51.199 very classly of bron Lessner. And I'd really like to see something from Brock 1130 01:21:51.279 --> 01:21:55.319 Lester in the future, maybe some real good guy stuff. All right, 1131 01:21:55.560 --> 01:21:58.560 but La Night, we don't have any time. We've we've kind of botched 1132 01:21:58.600 --> 01:22:00.520 it here, so we'll move past him. Ela Night, b freaking time 1133 01:22:00.640 --> 01:22:04.560 he won something. Was so happy, I can't see. Okay, So 1134 01:22:04.760 --> 01:22:08.840 Shana and Ronda, this was our stand out. Oh, my gosh, 1135 01:22:08.880 --> 01:22:14.239 Shane is cool. Shina, we just loved the humanity that ww brought out 1136 01:22:14.279 --> 01:22:17.199 in her, loved her story. Really now we feel like we can get 1137 01:22:17.239 --> 01:22:21.479 behind her and we're like, yeah, all right, what was funny? 1138 01:22:23.760 --> 01:22:30.399 I'm true, what was funny? His nuts, my gosh on the rope, 1139 01:22:30.680 --> 01:22:33.319 it was so funny. Yeah, it was terrible. It was terrible, 1140 01:22:33.560 --> 01:22:38.680 you know what, really good match. Unfortunately, Drew had a mishap 1141 01:22:38.800 --> 01:22:44.640 towards the end, splash from Gunther. He just he just couldn't hang on. 1142 01:22:45.039 --> 01:22:49.640 He just okay, but you know what, we really and then they 1143 01:22:49.720 --> 01:22:53.960 likes to see a matchup with maybe True McIntire, Black Listners in the Future, 1144 01:22:55.600 --> 01:22:59.920 Partners, Warriors, Yeah right, warriors, okay, seth Rawlinson Finn 1145 01:23:00.279 --> 01:23:04.840 he possessed as he was going for that briefcase that news. You know what, 1146 01:23:05.039 --> 01:23:09.239 why couldn't the judgment day just stay the heck out of the out of 1147 01:23:09.359 --> 01:23:12.359 a triple thre girl match? What did you think? Well, we're not 1148 01:23:12.479 --> 01:23:15.600 done, Sindeller. Well all right, triple triple threat. You know what, 1149 01:23:15.760 --> 01:23:18.640 I didn't really like to match with the women. It was okay, 1150 01:23:19.479 --> 01:23:26.520 it was okay, but I guess oh no, it's a tribal chief. 1151 01:23:26.560 --> 01:23:29.279 Would ever do this. No, no tribal chief would ever do this, 1152 01:23:29.399 --> 01:23:33.359 No honor? All right, Chris and Gelly, you guys certainly that's called 1153 01:23:33.479 --> 01:23:39.279 maximizing your minutes, folks, that is maximizing your minutes. You guys crammed 1154 01:23:39.319 --> 01:23:44.600 it all in three minutes. Amazing, I man, amazing. I'm imagine 1155 01:23:44.640 --> 01:23:46.920 you guys hit the timer right when the voicemail started, so you knew exactly 1156 01:23:46.920 --> 01:23:49.720 how much time he had left. Well done, well done. Yeah, 1157 01:23:49.720 --> 01:23:54.359 you guys are attending SmackDown, we will set up a time to talk about 1158 01:23:54.399 --> 01:23:58.119 that. I'll message you or just email me. I know, I thought 1159 01:23:58.119 --> 01:24:00.399 you messaged me on Facebook. I've got I got so many messages on Facebook. 1160 01:24:00.399 --> 01:24:03.920 I think it got lost in the sauce. My Facebook page is starting 1161 01:24:03.960 --> 01:24:08.199 to really take off for some reason. I'm not complaining about it. I 1162 01:24:08.319 --> 01:24:12.039 just have so many messages. So email me, all right, Mailbag at 1163 01:24:12.199 --> 01:24:15.000 w B podcast dot com. Email me. Because if we're going to talk 1164 01:24:15.000 --> 01:24:17.000 on Skype, which is how to record the calls, we'll do it that 1165 01:24:17.079 --> 01:24:21.359 way. And if we're going to talk about SmackDown, then let's talk on 1166 01:24:21.520 --> 01:24:28.600 Sunday evenings. Sunday evenings like nine nine thirty pm Eastern Standard time is about 1167 01:24:28.720 --> 01:24:32.039 usually when I record. So some specifics there, but let's get to a 1168 01:24:32.119 --> 01:24:35.039 couple of your comments here. So I didn't like the women's triple threat. 1169 01:24:35.039 --> 01:24:40.119 I agree it was in me. Now, as far as logan Paul, 1170 01:24:40.319 --> 01:24:45.039 you're villainizing him for taking the prime drink away from a child, right, 1171 01:24:45.479 --> 01:24:48.920 Well, you know, looking at the nutritional facts on this, should a 1172 01:24:49.000 --> 01:24:56.800 child really be you know, drinking a essentially an energy drink at that time 1173 01:24:56.840 --> 01:24:59.119 of night. Anyway, I think he did a service to the parents. 1174 01:24:59.159 --> 01:25:01.760 I mean he's doing work here, Like, I think he really helped out 1175 01:25:01.840 --> 01:25:06.760 that the parent here of not having a wired child, you know, drinking 1176 01:25:06.920 --> 01:25:11.560 Prime. Okay, looking at the ingredients of Prime, I mean, it's 1177 01:25:11.600 --> 01:25:13.720 not the worst drink in the world that I looked it up because I'm like, 1178 01:25:13.800 --> 01:25:16.000 what is in this thing? Right? It does have an overload of 1179 01:25:16.079 --> 01:25:19.000 vitamins and potassium and magnesium and all that. It does have a little bit 1180 01:25:19.000 --> 01:25:24.359 of sugar. Yeah, It's just it's not probably something I would be drinking. 1181 01:25:24.399 --> 01:25:26.680 I wouldn't you. I'm thirty eight years old. I still wouldn't drink 1182 01:25:26.680 --> 01:25:29.079 this at that time of night. So the parents are probably like, thank 1183 01:25:29.119 --> 01:25:31.000 you, Logan, Paul, you know, thank you. I don't have 1184 01:25:31.039 --> 01:25:34.359 to deal with a wired, you know, a kid at ten, ten, 1185 01:25:34.439 --> 01:25:39.479 eleven, twelve o'clock at night. But hey, guys, I really 1186 01:25:39.560 --> 01:25:42.279 enjoyed the banter. I enjoyed You guys have a nice little chemistry going on 1187 01:25:42.279 --> 01:25:45.439 there. It's almost like you have experience doing this or something. It sounds 1188 01:25:45.439 --> 01:25:48.399 like you're like previous podcast hosts. I don't know. You guys have a 1189 01:25:48.479 --> 01:25:51.600 nice chemistry. So let's get together. I want to hear more about your 1190 01:25:51.640 --> 01:25:57.960 thoughts and of course us with SmackDown coming, let's talk email me. All 1191 01:25:58.039 --> 01:26:00.600 right, well we'll figure out time and all. It's just sticks very good. 1192 01:26:01.319 --> 01:26:06.319 All right, let's hold on. I think we got we got one, 1193 01:26:06.359 --> 01:26:10.680 we got we got we got one more, one more. So let's 1194 01:26:11.000 --> 01:26:13.880 let's get to that final voicemail, guys, and then we can call it 1195 01:26:14.239 --> 01:26:18.680 a night. Here we go, check check checking in. It's Rocky T. 1196 01:26:19.079 --> 01:26:25.479 Hello, everybody. I just wanted to let everybody know that I will 1197 01:26:25.520 --> 01:26:30.640 be taking a small sabbatical from the Mailbag, not from the podcast, just 1198 01:26:30.920 --> 01:26:35.239 from my entries into the mailbag. Don't worry. I'm still an active listener 1199 01:26:35.439 --> 01:26:41.239 every week, a loyal religious listener. I noticed that we are getting a 1200 01:26:41.319 --> 01:26:45.560 lot of new patreons, and I know all these people want to have the 1201 01:26:45.760 --> 01:26:48.600 voice was heard on the mailbag, and I want that for y'all two as 1202 01:26:48.640 --> 01:26:53.520 well. Y'all know Rocky T always has a lot on his mind and sends 1203 01:26:53.600 --> 01:26:58.840 in a page long email, and I want to give my spot to somebody 1204 01:26:59.279 --> 01:27:01.880 who's a new page john to have their voice heard. My voice is being 1205 01:27:02.000 --> 01:27:08.119 heard with the Wrestler Magic episodes with me doing the able Collision every other week, 1206 01:27:08.279 --> 01:27:11.199 so don't worry, I'll still be a part of that. We have 1207 01:27:11.319 --> 01:27:15.880 a couple of irons in the fire right now. First and foremost, Kuzmo, 1208 01:27:15.640 --> 01:27:17.960 I got the episode ready for you, buddy, me and the Gardener, 1209 01:27:18.000 --> 01:27:21.319 I have it ready for you. Let's make the time and let's knock 1210 01:27:21.359 --> 01:27:26.760 it out. I got the format ready. We have it ready for you, 1211 01:27:26.840 --> 01:27:30.840 man. Let's just let's get it together and see when we can whenever 1212 01:27:30.960 --> 01:27:33.840 we can set the time to get that done. We are also working on 1213 01:27:34.039 --> 01:27:39.000 an episode with the Gardner's nephew. This one will be titled not Everybody Can 1214 01:27:39.039 --> 01:27:42.199 Be a Top Guy. This is gonna go hand in hand with what we 1215 01:27:42.319 --> 01:27:45.079 just saw as summers Land with the right handed man trying to be the top 1216 01:27:45.119 --> 01:27:49.279 guy. We will explore what it takes to be a W. Davis superbar 1217 01:27:49.680 --> 01:27:53.960 but superstar, but most of all, what it takes to be a top 1218 01:27:54.000 --> 01:27:59.720 guy in the business. Two piggyback on Kuzmo's episode, which is gonna feature 1219 01:27:59.800 --> 01:28:03.840 thing songs. We are working on an episode with Missus Rockett which we will 1220 01:28:03.960 --> 01:28:10.640 explore makeup artists, ring gear, etc. Behind the scenes things that we 1221 01:28:10.720 --> 01:28:14.239 don't see or even think about, which goes hand in hand with the music. 1222 01:28:14.680 --> 01:28:19.960 So all that stuff is coming together again. I will be listening actively. 1223 01:28:20.479 --> 01:28:24.479 I will chime in if something comes up that just has to be talking 1224 01:28:24.520 --> 01:28:28.960 about. But for the meantime, I've got so much restarts going on with 1225 01:28:29.039 --> 01:28:32.279 all these episodes that it's hard to keep up with my mailback emails because I 1226 01:28:32.399 --> 01:28:38.399 construct those all week long. So again, don't worry, I'll still be 1227 01:28:38.520 --> 01:28:43.880 around. I'll still be listening. Everybody still me a favor every day. 1228 01:28:44.239 --> 01:28:46.720 Do not have a good day, have a great day. Talk to you 1229 01:28:46.800 --> 01:28:51.479 guys later. All right, Rocket, appreciate the update of Shore. Listeners 1230 01:28:51.479 --> 01:28:55.880 appreciate the update as well as to what's kind of going on the Wrestle Magic 1231 01:28:55.960 --> 01:29:00.279 side of things. And now you are feeling the pressure of just getting things 1232 01:29:00.319 --> 01:29:03.640 together for a podcast and recording and all that and your research. So yeah, 1233 01:29:03.880 --> 01:29:06.359 it's it's quite a bear. And you know, we'll look forward to 1234 01:29:06.479 --> 01:29:11.479 return to the mailbag. But you're listening, and that's great. And you 1235 01:29:11.560 --> 01:29:13.600 know a lot of I know a lot of you kind of do the same 1236 01:29:13.680 --> 01:29:16.039 thing, and well you don't have time to maybe contribute, you're still listening, 1237 01:29:16.199 --> 01:29:20.279 and we appreciate that. But yeah, I mean, hey, Rocket 1238 01:29:20.319 --> 01:29:24.840 Tea, I really appreciate your contributions. You and Michael Gross do an excellent 1239 01:29:24.920 --> 01:29:29.159 job Wrestle Magic. We have PJ Palaco, we have Just Incredible, who 1240 01:29:29.239 --> 01:29:30.520 is also a part of the Mailbag or a part of that part of the 1241 01:29:30.640 --> 01:29:35.199 Wrestle Magic group, and you guys do such a great job. Just Incredible 1242 01:29:35.279 --> 01:29:40.520 is going to be joining Michael and Rocket Tea on a monthly basis once a 1243 01:29:40.560 --> 01:29:44.079 month, so that'll be a lot of fun. And appreciate it. You 1244 01:29:44.119 --> 01:29:46.479 know, you guys are keeping me, keeping me going. You guys keep 1245 01:29:46.520 --> 01:29:49.399 me busy for sure. So one thing I want to say to Chris and 1246 01:29:49.439 --> 01:29:53.239 Gallia, not to disrespect you, Rocket Tea, but as I was listening, 1247 01:29:53.239 --> 01:29:55.359 I was like, oh, I didn't answer. The four main event 1248 01:29:55.439 --> 01:29:59.880 thing for wrest for Summer Slam is a marketing ploy. There's one main event, 1249 01:30:00.359 --> 01:30:05.039 it's the last match, that's it. I think that they're doing the 1250 01:30:05.159 --> 01:30:10.880 four main event thing or multiple main events. They did that a WrestleMania. 1251 01:30:11.159 --> 01:30:13.560 No, no, no, no, no, there's one main event. 1252 01:30:14.039 --> 01:30:19.840 Main event is by its nature a singular thing. You can't pluralize it. 1253 01:30:19.960 --> 01:30:24.159 Even though they're trying to for marketing purposes, to try to make it sound 1254 01:30:24.199 --> 01:30:27.560 more important. No, the main event is the last match that goes on, 1255 01:30:27.960 --> 01:30:30.399 end of story. That's it. I think they're doing it for the 1256 01:30:30.479 --> 01:30:33.560 reasons of trying to make the talent not feel like it's all Roman reigns for 1257 01:30:33.640 --> 01:30:35.680 three years and then oh, well, I'm part of the main event too, 1258 01:30:35.800 --> 01:30:41.439 because WW said I am, and also from the general public, it 1259 01:30:41.520 --> 01:30:43.600 sounds like it's more important. Wait a minute. They don't just have one 1260 01:30:43.640 --> 01:30:45.880 main event. They have four, no way, you know. And if 1261 01:30:45.920 --> 01:30:48.000 it takes you take two seconds, you're like, well, wait a minute, 1262 01:30:48.359 --> 01:30:53.079 No, they're just other matches before the main event. Don't don't try 1263 01:30:53.119 --> 01:30:56.920 to insult my intelligence. It makes me crazy when they do this stuff. 1264 01:30:57.359 --> 01:31:00.600 I know most people don't give a damn, but when they got to sneak 1265 01:31:00.640 --> 01:31:04.000 that in, it's like, stop, it's not there's one and will only 1266 01:31:04.279 --> 01:31:10.079 be one main event. And plus, if you're telling us there's multiple, 1267 01:31:10.439 --> 01:31:14.000 doesn't that devalue when a main event means now, I mean, look at 1268 01:31:14.039 --> 01:31:16.479 the looks. Just look at what main event means. It's the biggest match 1269 01:31:16.520 --> 01:31:19.600 on the card. You can't tell me there are four biggest matches on the 1270 01:31:19.680 --> 01:31:25.239 card. All right, it's getting late for me. I'm starting to rant, 1271 01:31:25.520 --> 01:31:27.479 So Chris and Gallia, what the hell are you doing to me? 1272 01:31:27.680 --> 01:31:30.319 As far as again, Rocky T, thank you so much for the update, 1273 01:31:30.000 --> 01:31:32.119 and we'll again we'll look forward to your return.
