Listen WWE Superstar Drew McIntyre and you're listening to the 15 00:01:53.760 --> 00:02:13.479 WWE podcast Stop the show, the one that everybody wants met for sixteens. 16 00:02:13.520 --> 00:02:23.000 I just your ass is my eye. You're going to acknowledge me. Time 17 00:02:23.080 --> 00:02:27.120 to talk Monday Night Raw And what a Monday Night Raw was. Things have 18 00:02:27.280 --> 00:02:30.159 picked up in a big way, and I kind of had a feeling that 19 00:02:30.240 --> 00:02:35.639 they would. You know, you're coming off of a ple e that is 20 00:02:35.719 --> 00:02:39.400 still kind of attached to some of the things that went on at WrestleMania, 21 00:02:39.439 --> 00:02:46.919 and it wasn't extremely an eventful clash the Castle. It was a bit subdued 22 00:02:46.960 --> 00:02:53.280 when it comes to surprises and and and booking. It wasn't exactly a mind 23 00:02:53.319 --> 00:02:57.840 blowing event. And after WrestleMania, you know that booking is going to be 24 00:02:58.639 --> 00:03:02.080 just a lot of safety decisions because a lot of the decisions you make at 25 00:03:02.080 --> 00:03:06.919 WrestleMania should stick, and if you change that a month or two months or 26 00:03:06.960 --> 00:03:09.759 even three months after, it's kind of an admission that things aren't working. 27 00:03:10.360 --> 00:03:15.719 So you know, you know that after WrestleMania, for the first few months, 28 00:03:15.719 --> 00:03:16.479 you're not going to get a bunch of change. Okay, we had 29 00:03:16.479 --> 00:03:21.520 the Women's tag titles change hands. Who cares, you know, I mean 30 00:03:21.639 --> 00:03:24.759 until they until they show us consistent respect for those belts. I don't have 31 00:03:24.840 --> 00:03:30.680 any I want to, but I wouldn't call that a real change or a 32 00:03:30.680 --> 00:03:35.800 real shake up. But now you have a Monday Net raw that I think 33 00:03:35.800 --> 00:03:39.439 has ushered in the post WrestleMania forty season, or we can start looking to 34 00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:46.520 SummerSlam and yes, by extension, WrestleMania forty one in Vegas. I think 35 00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:50.560 we can start to discuss it. I mean, we already knew. The 36 00:03:50.560 --> 00:03:53.159 main event is Rock versus Cody Rhodes. That's been penciled in for a while, 37 00:03:53.400 --> 00:03:57.879 which I'm not super excited about. I have to say, I think 38 00:03:58.560 --> 00:04:02.879 Rock Roman or Rock or Cody Randy, all three options are much more exciting 39 00:04:05.159 --> 00:04:08.879 when it comes to The Rock coming back. I mean, to me, 40 00:04:09.000 --> 00:04:11.639 the opponent that he should face is not Cody Rhoades, but I know they 41 00:04:12.039 --> 00:04:16.560 laid the table for that prior to his departure the night after WrestleMania forty this 42 00:04:16.639 --> 00:04:19.680 year. And then when the Rock comes back, he'll be challenging for Cody's 43 00:04:19.680 --> 00:04:24.959 belt because that was the table they set prior to him leaving. They remember 44 00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:28.160 they held each other's belts. So you know, Cody's not going to drop 45 00:04:28.160 --> 00:04:30.839 it until bare minimum the Rock faces him, and even that, I don't 46 00:04:30.879 --> 00:04:35.079 think the Rock will win. But let's talk obviously about Monday Night Raw, 47 00:04:35.360 --> 00:04:40.680 but before we do, I want to let you guys know a couple of 48 00:04:40.720 --> 00:04:46.800 things. First of all, this coming Saturday morning, usually it's Saturday morning, 49 00:04:46.879 --> 00:04:51.079 Saturday midday, we have our SmackDown review that's done by Michael Whitdver most 50 00:04:51.120 --> 00:04:56.920 weeks, and he's been with us for quite some time, and he's coming 51 00:04:57.000 --> 00:05:03.839 up this week on his two hundre with episode, which will also be his 52 00:05:03.959 --> 00:05:10.759 final one here on the w W podcast. So Michael Ritter is uh, 53 00:05:10.800 --> 00:05:15.079 moving on, moving up. I'm happy for him, you know, continue 54 00:05:15.079 --> 00:05:17.879 to support his podcast, by the way, Football Function as we get closer 55 00:05:17.920 --> 00:05:21.560 and closer to training camps opening up, and then before you know it, 56 00:05:21.560 --> 00:05:25.759 it'll be uh, you know, first look a September and we're talking football. 57 00:05:26.480 --> 00:05:30.480 Check out his podcast, give him a you know, a follow over 58 00:05:30.519 --> 00:05:33.720 at Football Function. But yeah, so he uh, he will have his 59 00:05:33.759 --> 00:05:39.560 final show here on this for this weekend. This this SmackDown will be his 60 00:05:39.600 --> 00:05:43.759 final one, and that means the spot's opening up, and I know there's 61 00:05:43.800 --> 00:05:47.279 some contenders, and uh, you know, I'd like to extend an invitation 62 00:05:47.439 --> 00:05:54.560 to those of you who uh maybe are passionate about wrestling or you're an experienced 63 00:05:54.600 --> 00:06:00.480 podcaster and men and women. You guys know, I'm all about trying to 64 00:06:00.480 --> 00:06:03.240 get women on the show because I think it's a fun thing to do when 65 00:06:03.240 --> 00:06:08.120 you don't hear a whole lot of shows that have women's perspectives on wrestling, 66 00:06:08.160 --> 00:06:12.240 because most of the fans that watch wrestling are men. But yeah, by 67 00:06:12.240 --> 00:06:15.800 all means, and I'd prefer those of you actually. Now I require that 68 00:06:15.879 --> 00:06:20.800 you are you have equipment, meaning like you have an external mic at the 69 00:06:20.800 --> 00:06:28.079 bare minimum, and you know, obviously timely is also very important. And 70 00:06:28.160 --> 00:06:30.160 you know, I've had people in the past and it's just the way it 71 00:06:30.240 --> 00:06:33.560 is where you know, I'll get it to you in like, you know, 72 00:06:33.639 --> 00:06:35.279 a few days and it's like no, no, no, right, 73 00:06:35.360 --> 00:06:39.240 Like we have to be on a schedule here, So our timeliness is a 74 00:06:39.240 --> 00:06:44.720 big thing. Passionate about wrestling and just an external mic is really all I 75 00:06:44.800 --> 00:06:46.639 ask. If you are interested in throwing your hat into the ring here, 76 00:06:46.720 --> 00:06:53.279 so to speak, then send me a send me an email at mailback at 77 00:06:53.360 --> 00:06:58.079 ww podcast dot com.

Now a lot happened. I'm on an 85 00:07:32.279 --> 00:07:40.360 era. I'm gonna start with Uncle Howdy or the wyat six, and I 86 00:07:40.399 --> 00:07:43.519 know I've heard a lot of cute spellings of that. I don't know if 87 00:07:43.560 --> 00:07:47.800 it's meant to be six or like sick s I c K. I have 88 00:07:48.000 --> 00:07:50.920 a lot a lot of like clever little uh you know, ways to spell 89 00:07:50.959 --> 00:07:58.600 it. Whatever the group is called, whatever Uncle howdy's there. It looks 90 00:07:58.720 --> 00:08:03.560 like I mean, I've heard extra Loomis is under the mask Nicky Cross. 91 00:08:03.680 --> 00:08:07.600 It looks like she might be the girl that's there, unless she was let 92 00:08:07.639 --> 00:08:09.720 go. I don't know. It looked like Nicky Cross and a lot of 93 00:08:09.720 --> 00:08:16.240 makeup, and they closed raw. The last five minutes of Raw ended with 94 00:08:16.199 --> 00:08:20.680 We'll just call him the Wyatt six for now. That debuted and they used 95 00:08:20.680 --> 00:08:24.600 bray Wyatt's last entrance music, which has a nice tribute the Door with the 96 00:08:24.680 --> 00:08:28.040 Light. Very cool. You know, it's also kind of emotional and sad 97 00:08:28.240 --> 00:08:31.759 as a reminder that, yeah, that's right, bray Wyatt's not here. 98 00:08:31.519 --> 00:08:35.480 You know. It's still a stark reminder that he's not here. He's not 99 00:08:35.600 --> 00:08:41.120 coming back, obviously, So there's that underlying emotional tone to the whole thing. 100 00:08:43.039 --> 00:08:46.879 But what we did get was a massacre, which is what the QR 101 00:08:46.960 --> 00:08:54.159 codes showed, and it was a film out of It was a scene out 102 00:08:54.159 --> 00:08:58.720 of a horror film. It was well done when it comes to, you 103 00:08:58.759 --> 00:09:05.039 know, presentation, the fog. Everyone in production behind the scenes was apparently 104 00:09:05.120 --> 00:09:11.559 murdered. We have like a you know, a quadruple homicide. Chad Gable 105 00:09:11.600 --> 00:09:15.360 had the worst night in the history of Knights when you think about it, 106 00:09:15.480 --> 00:09:18.279 right, He lost his match, he lost his group, his family, 107 00:09:18.639 --> 00:09:24.440 and then he got killed. So Chad Gable had one of the worst nights 108 00:09:24.879 --> 00:09:28.919 you could have and Chad Gable apparently was targeted. If you there has been 109 00:09:28.919 --> 00:09:33.799 evidence as to why Chad Gable was targeted, because he's the only one that 110 00:09:33.799 --> 00:09:37.559 we saw anyway that it was a wrestler that was targeted. I don't think 111 00:09:37.600 --> 00:09:41.720 I saw anyone. Also, was just random people in production or whoever happened 112 00:09:41.720 --> 00:09:46.440 to be backstage was murdered on scene. I know, him being a bit 113 00:09:46.559 --> 00:09:50.639 yeah, over dramatic, but I'm not really I mean that that's the scene 114 00:09:50.679 --> 00:09:56.399 they painted, and you know, each character was introduced one by one with 115 00:09:56.480 --> 00:10:03.279 the fallen bodies in the you know, the in the smoke or in the 116 00:10:03.360 --> 00:10:05.639 dry ice rather, and then they all came out as a group and they 117 00:10:05.679 --> 00:10:09.000 stood there through the door and they had their masks on, and it was 118 00:10:09.279 --> 00:10:13.720 very much a Brave Wyat inspired group. And I know there's a lot of 119 00:10:13.720 --> 00:10:18.600 people that were expecting me to come on here and you know, completely rip 120 00:10:18.679 --> 00:10:26.320 what we saw because it is a bit preposterous that they're going talking about even 121 00:10:26.399 --> 00:10:28.240 on air. Oh my god, he looks like he's killed him. I 122 00:10:28.279 --> 00:10:33.039 mean, they've moved into strong language that we haven't heard in a long time 123 00:10:33.080 --> 00:10:41.879 on programming. If ever, even didn't Pat McAfee say the ahole word on 124 00:10:41.919 --> 00:10:45.759 television. I mean, is this really PG anymore? Can we cover it 125 00:10:45.840 --> 00:10:52.600 under what TVPG guidelines are? It has certainly expanded what it is. I 126 00:10:52.639 --> 00:10:58.399 mean, if this is TVPG, what's TV fourteen just outright pornography, outright 127 00:10:58.519 --> 00:11:05.200 just mass killings. I mean, if this is TVPG, this is a 128 00:11:05.279 --> 00:11:09.960 much different TVPG than I have and was used to as a kid. But 129 00:11:11.080 --> 00:11:13.279 anyway, so I know there's a lot of people who expect me to come 130 00:11:13.320 --> 00:11:16.840 on here and just rip this and how hokey it is, and it's ridiculous, 131 00:11:18.679 --> 00:11:22.039 and in certain respects it is. There's a part of me that looks 132 00:11:22.080 --> 00:11:26.960 at this and says, all right, like this is you can't talk about 133 00:11:26.200 --> 00:11:31.799 death in pro wrestling in terms of trying to present that you're actually gonna kill 134 00:11:31.799 --> 00:11:35.919 a guy or a gal. You can't do that because you'll never deliver on 135 00:11:37.000 --> 00:11:39.840 it, and everyone knows you're never gonna deliver on it, and that's not 136 00:11:39.879 --> 00:11:43.360 what pro wrestling's about. I mean, this isn't death match. You know, 137 00:11:43.480 --> 00:11:48.679 these are wrestling matches, and so you know, it kind of defeats 138 00:11:48.759 --> 00:11:52.519 the purpose or is counterintuitive to what you're trying to achieve when you're talking about 139 00:11:52.600 --> 00:11:58.600 killing people or you show people who look like they've been killed backstage. It's 140 00:11:58.600 --> 00:12:03.039 a little extreme and everyone knows it's not actually something that happened, it's I 141 00:12:03.039 --> 00:12:05.720 don't know, So that part of me does exist, and it is a 142 00:12:05.720 --> 00:12:09.879 bit ridiculous, and it does draw back bad feelings about the pandemic era when 143 00:12:09.159 --> 00:12:15.840 Vince McMahon and Kevin Dunn went wild and had all their fanatical, you know, 144 00:12:16.399 --> 00:12:20.039 very performative cinematic matches that I hated for the most part. So there 145 00:12:20.159 --> 00:12:24.919 was some kind of a PTSD for me for that. So absolutely, yeah, 146 00:12:24.919 --> 00:12:31.720 it was a bit ridiculous, but but it was done well and it 147 00:12:31.720 --> 00:12:35.720 it got people talking. And this group does look like it's going to be 148 00:12:35.720 --> 00:12:39.240 a Babyface group for at least the time being. What are they going to 149 00:12:39.279 --> 00:12:43.080 say, what's their mission statement? Who are they targeting? And why? 150 00:12:43.720 --> 00:12:46.799 How does Bray whyatt factor into this? Was the he's the inspiration is you 151 00:12:46.840 --> 00:12:52.240 know they're going to even mention him. Is it Bo Dallas who's as the 152 00:12:52.480 --> 00:12:56.360 as Uncle Howdy? I would imagine yes, So I think Uncle Howdy has 153 00:12:56.399 --> 00:13:01.679 to finally speak next week. He can no longer under the guise of QR 154 00:13:01.799 --> 00:13:07.720 codes and masks he needs to speak, along with introducing his members, whatever 155 00:13:07.799 --> 00:13:09.799 names they might be, and the name of the group officially next week, 156 00:13:11.519 --> 00:13:16.639 I hope. But Chad Gable just to come back to him for a minute. 157 00:13:16.320 --> 00:13:20.879 It looked like he got shot in the head. I mean, that's 158 00:13:20.879 --> 00:13:24.240 what it looked like. He got shot in the head. Everyone in production 159 00:13:24.440 --> 00:13:30.000 was murdered. So I kind of laughed at that. I did roll my 160 00:13:30.039 --> 00:13:33.440 eyes a bit. But poor Chad Gable, who had a hell of a 161 00:13:33.519 --> 00:13:37.519 night, and we'll get to him and Otis and his kind of turn on 162 00:13:37.639 --> 00:13:41.559 Gable that really isn't a full turn yet in a little bit, but you 163 00:13:41.559 --> 00:13:43.799 know, the uncle Howdy stuff. Just to kind of put a bow on 164 00:13:43.919 --> 00:13:50.240 that part of the show. Anyway. I'm not a fan of the cinematic 165 00:13:50.600 --> 00:13:54.639 piece of wrestling when it comes to, you know, trying to pretend that 166 00:13:54.759 --> 00:13:58.240 somebody's actually dead when clearly they're not. Right. I mean, you don't 167 00:13:58.240 --> 00:14:03.399 bring death into wrestling unless it's obviously someone who passed, and then you have 168 00:14:03.480 --> 00:14:09.440 tribute shows. That's fine, but it was done effectively, as I said, 169 00:14:11.440 --> 00:14:13.440 and I really can't ask for more than that. I'm really curious to 170 00:14:13.480 --> 00:14:20.559 see how they explain why they did what they did and how no one's actually 171 00:14:20.679 --> 00:14:26.399 dead. So anyway, I know, I overall, did I enjoy it? 172 00:14:26.480 --> 00:14:31.440 Kind of? Yeah, kind of because it intrigued me. It was 173 00:14:31.519 --> 00:14:35.039 better than that group. But you guys remember this too during the pandemic era, 174 00:14:35.879 --> 00:14:39.759 not Raw Underground. What god, Raw Underground could be talked about with 175 00:14:39.799 --> 00:14:45.440 Shane McMahon and Omas at the time, who was like the the bouncer to 176 00:14:45.480 --> 00:14:50.840 get into Raw Underground And it was just like basically a little stiffer version of 177 00:14:50.960 --> 00:14:54.600 wrestling in this like smoky warehouse and they had women in, you know, 178 00:14:54.799 --> 00:15:00.679 scantily clad outfits and it was like a it was like money that raw from 179 00:15:00.799 --> 00:15:05.440 nineteen ninety eight. It was weird. Anyway, it reminded me of that 180 00:15:05.480 --> 00:15:07.360 group, and I can't remember the name of the group off the top of 181 00:15:07.399 --> 00:15:11.240 my head because I really just discarded it from my memory. It was damaging 182 00:15:11.279 --> 00:15:16.320 my brain. It was that group that came in and they started taking chainsaws 183 00:15:16.360 --> 00:15:20.919 to the ropes and they like destroyed everything and attacked fans that were there in 184 00:15:20.000 --> 00:15:24.360 the pandemic era. Remember that group? What the hell was that group called? 185 00:15:24.399 --> 00:15:26.559 I can't remember and they would just destroy things week after week. And 186 00:15:26.559 --> 00:15:31.960 then what did WWE do? Instead of, you know, calling police, 187 00:15:31.000 --> 00:15:35.080 they awarded them contracts. Remember that, what the hell was the name of 188 00:15:35.120 --> 00:15:37.919 that group. It was the same time that Raw Underground was going on, 189 00:15:37.960 --> 00:15:43.320 so it was like two awful ideas going on at once. What is it? 190 00:15:43.519 --> 00:15:45.519 I can't think of it. Someone out there is yelling at me right 191 00:15:45.559 --> 00:15:50.200 now's I can't remember it, but you guys know what I'm talking about. 192 00:15:50.440 --> 00:15:54.720 And in WWE, what do they do if you destroy their stuff? Throw 193 00:15:54.720 --> 00:15:58.879 bricks through their windows, tear up the ring thousands and thousands and tens of 194 00:15:58.879 --> 00:16:02.039 thousands of dollars in days image, what do they do? Here's a contract, 195 00:16:02.039 --> 00:16:03.840 pal, just don't do it again. Promise, Pinky, Promise, 196 00:16:03.879 --> 00:16:08.879 We'll give you an actual contract to be a wrestler. Just please don't destroy 197 00:16:08.919 --> 00:16:14.840 any more of our stuff. It's just ridiculous. They hated everything about it, 198 00:16:15.840 --> 00:16:18.799 but it had a tiny bit of that vibe a concern at the beginning. 199 00:16:18.840 --> 00:16:22.720 And then I realized that Vince McMahon's no longer there, so I think 200 00:16:22.759 --> 00:16:26.679 we'll be okay. But all right, well, so I've set my piece 201 00:16:26.679 --> 00:16:30.519 on Uncle Howdie's group, if it eventually is called the Wyat's six. If 202 00:16:30.519 --> 00:16:34.559 you're sick sex, you can get what I'm saying. Six. You guys 203 00:16:34.720 --> 00:16:38.279 know what the spelling is. It's a little bit clever. Or if it's 204 00:16:38.360 --> 00:16:42.080 ended up being another name, whatever it is, we'll find out. I 205 00:16:42.120 --> 00:16:48.200 think next Monday, when Uncle Howdy or Bro Dallas should talk. I hope 206 00:16:48.200 --> 00:16:52.960 we get some kind of speech from him. So also, Drew McIntyre quit. 207 00:16:53.480 --> 00:16:57.679 That was a bit of a disappointment for me. I understand he's at 208 00:16:57.679 --> 00:17:03.240 his breaking point. I also think it could be a ploy to then come 209 00:17:03.279 --> 00:17:06.960 back the next week when Punk is there. Next week maybe and attack Punk 210 00:17:06.960 --> 00:17:08.720 and say, you know, I just wanted to teach you a lesson. 211 00:17:08.880 --> 00:17:11.960 You know that I'm not going to do what you did and quit the company 212 00:17:12.000 --> 00:17:15.680 when it gets hard. So he could be parading or kind of trying to 213 00:17:17.039 --> 00:17:21.640 I don't know if parodying, making a parody of Punk, or if it's 214 00:17:21.680 --> 00:17:26.079 a setup for Punk to, you know, be in a vulnerable situation and 215 00:17:26.079 --> 00:17:32.240 then Drew attacks him ultimately with a message being you know, I want to 216 00:17:32.359 --> 00:17:34.519 prove to you that I'm nothing like you. I don't quit when things get 217 00:17:34.559 --> 00:17:37.839 hard, you know. So it could very well be a setup. I 218 00:17:37.880 --> 00:17:42.680 don't think Drew obviously he's quitting, so but I was disappointed they went this 219 00:17:42.799 --> 00:17:49.000 road because I don't want the quiet Drew McIntyre. I don't want the Drew 220 00:17:49.039 --> 00:17:55.119 McIntire that's just doesn't have words. I want the Drew that's out of his 221 00:17:55.240 --> 00:17:57.279 mind. And we were promised that it would be musty TV for Drew and 222 00:17:57.319 --> 00:18:02.839 it was anything. But even Michael Cole was like what And I'm sitting home 223 00:18:02.920 --> 00:18:04.400 like, okay, yeah, it's a little bit of a swerve, but 224 00:18:04.559 --> 00:18:08.880 I want to see Drew McIntyre absolutely lose his mind, and we got the 225 00:18:08.920 --> 00:18:14.799 opposite. So, like, I understand, we're still chapters away from the 226 00:18:14.920 --> 00:18:17.920 end of the story and he could come back next week and bloody punk and 227 00:18:17.920 --> 00:18:19.440 all that kind of stuff and oh, we're okay, now we get it. 228 00:18:19.440 --> 00:18:22.240 It just was a little guy. Sorry, guys, I can't talk 229 00:18:22.279 --> 00:18:29.519 tonight. It was a little bit disappointing that we didn't get it last night 230 00:18:29.559 --> 00:18:34.880 on Raw with that McIntyre who was poised to blow his top. So I 231 00:18:34.920 --> 00:18:38.839 don't know, I just had a bit of a higher expectation and was a 232 00:18:38.880 --> 00:18:42.880 bit disappointed when he just said see him Punk and then he just, you 233 00:18:42.920 --> 00:18:47.079 know, quit, and Adam Pierce is chasing him and trying to get him 234 00:18:47.119 --> 00:18:48.000 back to his office and saying, no, Drew, you don't want to 235 00:18:48.000 --> 00:18:55.119 do this, you know. So that's that. We also got the return 236 00:18:55.599 --> 00:19:00.039 of Seth Rollins. I won't say Seth freaking Rollins. I think I don't 237 00:19:00.079 --> 00:19:03.039 like saying that. I think it sounds cheesy. Never been a fan of 238 00:19:03.039 --> 00:19:08.400 that. Seth Rollins, who looks good. I like his outfit. I'm 239 00:19:08.440 --> 00:19:14.599 glad he didn't shave his beard completely, because there were pictures surfacing after he 240 00:19:14.640 --> 00:19:18.160 departed after wrestling A forty to go fix himself up and all that that he 241 00:19:18.240 --> 00:19:19.400 shaved his beard and I was like, oh my god, this does not 242 00:19:19.440 --> 00:19:26.000 look good. But it's back and that's a good thing. And we did 243 00:19:26.039 --> 00:19:33.759 get an interaction between Punk I'm sorry, Rollins and Priest and it seemed kind 244 00:19:33.799 --> 00:19:44.000 of mutually respectable at first, with Seth Rollins and Damien genuinely welcoming him back. 245 00:19:44.039 --> 00:19:47.559 But then Rollins told Priest that the difference between you and I is that 246 00:19:47.599 --> 00:19:49.960 I have a set and you don't. And it broke down a little bit, 247 00:19:51.039 --> 00:19:56.359 not physically, but I guess on a verbal level. From there, 248 00:19:56.799 --> 00:20:00.119 still not a lot to talk about Gunther, by the way, who is 249 00:20:02.400 --> 00:20:07.119 and does have a world title shot at SummerSlam. And I understand they have 250 00:20:07.160 --> 00:20:11.359 money in the bank here and Gunther's in a holding pattern until that program can 251 00:20:11.440 --> 00:20:18.279 kick into gear. I will say when that match between Rollins and Priest was 252 00:20:18.319 --> 00:20:22.839 made, which was Priest's idea. By the way, we I think pretty 253 00:20:22.880 --> 00:20:30.799 much locked it up that Punk. I keep saying Punk Rollins is gonna win 254 00:20:30.839 --> 00:20:33.759 that match, because when you think about it, are you really gonna have 255 00:20:33.799 --> 00:20:41.400 a Priest and Gunther matchup at SummerSlam? Does that really interest you? Here's 256 00:20:41.440 --> 00:20:48.400 something cool? How about your own Tornado wind turbine generating power anywhere you go 257 00:20:48.119 --> 00:20:52.920 right now? There's an early bird price of ninety nine euros with delivery scheduled 258 00:20:52.960 --> 00:20:56.359 for July twenty twenty four. Here's a little bit more about it, and 259 00:20:56.440 --> 00:21:03.519 check out the link that's in the description notes of the show. Tornado foldable 260 00:21:03.599 --> 00:21:15.119 micro wind turbine has a vertical axis of rotation, battery generator and two USB 261 00:21:15.279 --> 00:21:22.440 chargers are placed in the turbine. Savonius rotor with booster dome top mounted turbine. 262 00:21:22.480 --> 00:21:27.160 Tornado is compact and can be taken with you on a trip. Assembly 263 00:21:27.200 --> 00:21:36.599 and installation take only a few minutes. Tornado captures the wind's power and converts 264 00:21:36.599 --> 00:21:44.440 it into electricity. Built in twelve thousand million hours, battery is wind charged 265 00:21:44.440 --> 00:21:51.680 efficiently. Tornado folds up quickly and easily and charges two devices at the same 266 00:21:51.720 --> 00:22:10.119 time. Tornado Turbine is your reliable companion. One quarter inch standard thread allows 267 00:22:10.200 --> 00:22:14.880 the use of accessories and install the turbine exactly where the wind is strongest. 268 00:22:18.759 --> 00:22:26.079 You will always be in touch with the Tornado Turbine, a unique development of 269 00:22:26.119 --> 00:22:33.160 the Sova Lab team. No, I think Rollins in Gunther interests us a 270 00:22:33.200 --> 00:22:36.160 lot more so. I don't know where that leaves Priest. It could be 271 00:22:36.240 --> 00:22:40.039 with somebody in the Judgment day who turns on him, screws him, helps 272 00:22:40.160 --> 00:22:45.000 accidentally, maybe purposely screws him at Money in the Bank. So Seth will 273 00:22:45.039 --> 00:22:48.359 not be in the Money in the Bank briefcase match, but is going to 274 00:22:48.400 --> 00:22:51.680 face Damian Priest. And I think Seth Rollins is already a heavy favorite to 275 00:22:51.720 --> 00:22:55.039 beat Damian Priest because, like I said, when you look ahead to SummerSlam 276 00:22:55.039 --> 00:22:59.759 with Gunther waiting in the wings, just you can't tell me that there's a 277 00:22:59.759 --> 00:23:03.880 lot of interest in Priests versus Gunther. I mean, it wouldn't. I 278 00:23:03.880 --> 00:23:06.920 wouldn't go crazy over it. I wouldn't call it the worst thing in the 279 00:23:06.920 --> 00:23:11.000 world. It just doesn't make sense. I mean, people want Rollins in 280 00:23:11.039 --> 00:23:14.920 Gunther, and I think we're gonna get it at Summer Slam with Rollins as 281 00:23:14.920 --> 00:23:18.920 the world champion, which, as you project out even further, I don't 282 00:23:18.920 --> 00:23:23.720 think Guntherer would win that because Seth would have just wanted at the pl before 283 00:23:25.440 --> 00:23:30.200 and then at that point McIntyre and Punk might be starting to conclude their program 284 00:23:30.279 --> 00:23:34.759 or be closer to it. And once Drew and Punk conclude their program after 285 00:23:34.759 --> 00:23:38.759 Summer Slam, then you have Rollins in Punk who have yet to get back 286 00:23:38.799 --> 00:23:44.480 to their program. And when Punk goes back to Rollins, Rollins is still 287 00:23:44.519 --> 00:23:48.039 world champion. You have a Punk versus Rollins World Championship matchup that could take 288 00:23:48.039 --> 00:23:52.799 place as soon as you know. Crown Jewel they love that. I think 289 00:23:52.799 --> 00:23:57.359 that's in October or November, and maybe they wait all the way to Summer 290 00:23:57.400 --> 00:24:02.400 Slam or rather Survivors Series or even probably beyond, because Survivors Series is all 291 00:24:02.440 --> 00:24:07.000 about war Games. They might might wait until Rumble, or they might wait 292 00:24:07.079 --> 00:24:12.799 until WrestleMania before Punk and Rollins cross paths again. But it does seem like 293 00:24:14.839 --> 00:24:19.240 Rollin's if he and win, he likely wins it from Priest at the money 294 00:24:19.279 --> 00:24:22.000 in the Bank. Pl e that Rollins is going to hold it a while 295 00:24:22.079 --> 00:24:27.920 until Punk is ready to get into come into the fold. So just my 296 00:24:29.519 --> 00:24:33.119 projection out for several months there with the world title picture, it seems kind 297 00:24:33.119 --> 00:24:36.640 of that's the way they're going. So why those of you that are enjoying 298 00:24:36.680 --> 00:24:41.440 Priest's World Champion, and I'm one of them, I really have enjoyed his 299 00:24:41.519 --> 00:24:45.759 run, surprisingly, really enjoyed it. I wouldn't mind if it kept going. 300 00:24:45.160 --> 00:24:48.559 But knowing WWE and it's a business, they have to put on the 301 00:24:48.559 --> 00:24:52.839 biggest matches or they should be trying to. Priest probably should drop it, 302 00:24:52.880 --> 00:24:57.599 even though he's been a really fun champion, more than I expected. But 303 00:24:59.640 --> 00:25:03.720 anyway, I know there's a lot that can happen between now and Summer Slam. 304 00:25:03.759 --> 00:25:07.440 But I just wanted to give you my thoughts on the As I said, 305 00:25:07.440 --> 00:25:12.920 the world title picture. All right, So what else is or did 306 00:25:12.960 --> 00:25:18.559 happen on Money Net Raw again? We got money the bank qualifiers that started, 307 00:25:18.640 --> 00:25:22.599 and we'll get to that. I'm just reading a rundown of raw to 308 00:25:22.599 --> 00:25:30.240 make sure I didn't miss anything big here. We got so Chad Gable coming 309 00:25:30.240 --> 00:25:38.440 out and it ended up being Chad Gable versus Brounz Stroman and chatty. Gable 310 00:25:38.440 --> 00:25:42.839 got beat pretty handily in six and a half minutes. I wasn't a fan 311 00:25:42.880 --> 00:25:48.240 of that because, look, I know, bron Stroman is a big guy. 312 00:25:48.519 --> 00:25:55.000 He's a one big sob. He's strong, much stronger, much heavier 313 00:25:55.039 --> 00:25:59.000 than Gable. But Gable's been on the rise for quite some time. Nearly 314 00:25:59.079 --> 00:26:03.279 beat Gunther for God's sakes, several times, and then he gets pretty much 315 00:26:03.319 --> 00:26:07.000 handily beaten by Stroman. It wasn't a big fan of that. Also, 316 00:26:07.480 --> 00:26:15.319 since when did Braun Stroman become our moral overlord? He's all about making sure 317 00:26:15.359 --> 00:26:22.119 bullies don't bully. Yet he's in a magine Chad Gable in which he's you 318 00:26:22.160 --> 00:26:29.599 know, Chad Gable is sorely, severely oversized. He continues to pick fights, 319 00:26:30.680 --> 00:26:33.880 pick fights with the Judgment Day. He's the one that has started that. 320 00:26:34.880 --> 00:26:37.599 I don't know what his beef is with the Judgment Day, but That's 321 00:26:37.720 --> 00:26:45.200 all bron Stroman is seemingly done, is pick on the judgment day, and 322 00:26:45.240 --> 00:26:48.839 pick on the judgment day, and pick on the judgment day, and attack 323 00:26:48.880 --> 00:26:53.319 the judgment day unprovoked. And yet bronz Stroman is the one who's the defender 324 00:26:53.400 --> 00:27:00.240 of the innocent and the defender of people being bullied. Is he the one 325 00:27:00.240 --> 00:27:04.200 who really say that, not exactly in a position to stand on some kind 326 00:27:04.240 --> 00:27:08.920 of moral high ground. But I don't know. Maybe it's just my non 327 00:27:10.160 --> 00:27:12.160 fan of not not really a fan of Rons Strowman. If you can't really 328 00:27:12.160 --> 00:27:18.160 tell again, I respect his n ring work, because I continue to say 329 00:27:18.160 --> 00:27:21.400 this, I don't want to. I really don't want to disrespect his work. 330 00:27:21.400 --> 00:27:26.119 For the size he is. He is very good in the ring for 331 00:27:26.200 --> 00:27:30.079 what he should be able to do, and I give him credit for that. 332 00:27:30.200 --> 00:27:33.160 And he's trimmed down and he has he's a safe worker generally, and 333 00:27:33.160 --> 00:27:37.279 and all that. I'm just not a fan of his character. I think 334 00:27:37.279 --> 00:27:41.920 it's extremely one dimensional. He knows, he's just always roaring. He's you 335 00:27:41.920 --> 00:27:48.200 know, always yelling. He runs around the ring, and we're supposed to 336 00:27:48.200 --> 00:27:53.400 believe that somehow he gets more speed by you know, running in a square 337 00:27:53.440 --> 00:28:00.920 shaped pattern. Figure that out, By the way, you don't gain more 338 00:28:00.039 --> 00:28:06.400 momentum by running in a pattern shaped like a square, you know, the 339 00:28:06.400 --> 00:28:08.920 way that you get the most momentum you're running a straight line. But we're 340 00:28:08.960 --> 00:28:14.200 supposed to believe that he picks up more momentum the you know, the longer 341 00:28:14.200 --> 00:28:19.240 he's running around the ring. So I don't know. I just I'm not 342 00:28:19.279 --> 00:28:22.519 ever advocating for bron Strowman to be released. I think he is an asset 343 00:28:22.559 --> 00:28:26.359 to the company. He is, he is an asset to the company. 344 00:28:26.359 --> 00:28:30.319 But I just I'm just not a fan of his characters. It's as simple 345 00:28:30.319 --> 00:28:33.759 as that, as simple as that. And I think there's some major flaws 346 00:28:33.759 --> 00:28:38.839 in his character, and I think he's genuinely unlikable. But that's all my 347 00:28:38.920 --> 00:28:44.680 opinions, of course. So bron Stroman beats Gable, and then you know, 348 00:28:45.000 --> 00:28:48.799 after the match something's gonna happen here because Gable lost again. He ordered 349 00:28:48.839 --> 00:28:52.319 his minions or pledges or pupils or whatever you want to label them as into 350 00:28:52.359 --> 00:29:00.920 the ring and Gable shoved to Zawa and du pre was a maxine came into 351 00:29:00.960 --> 00:29:06.039 between both of them, and Gable took Dupree's crutch through it to ringside and 352 00:29:06.079 --> 00:29:08.519 forced her to leave without her crutch, which is really funny. I mean, 353 00:29:10.000 --> 00:29:14.640 he's such a perfect jerk. Otis then helped Maxine out of the ring, 354 00:29:14.799 --> 00:29:21.119 and then Gable slapped Tazawa like flat out, and then Otis turned around 355 00:29:21.160 --> 00:29:25.640 and looked at ta Zowa and Otis shoved Gable to the mat ripped off his 356 00:29:25.720 --> 00:29:30.000 T shirt. The crowd popped really big for this, and Gable is begging 357 00:29:30.200 --> 00:29:36.200 for mercy in the corner, but Otis left and the fans were chanting for 358 00:29:36.279 --> 00:29:41.559 Otis, and he helped dupre and Tazawa to the back and that was it. 359 00:29:41.640 --> 00:29:49.359 So I don't think that we have a real turn yet from Otis. 360 00:29:49.359 --> 00:29:55.359 And I know there's some belief that Gable could be joining forces soon with Julius 361 00:29:55.400 --> 00:29:59.359 Creed, he Brutus Creed, the Creed brothers and Ivy Nile. I think 362 00:29:59.440 --> 00:30:04.680 that's a very good decision because Gable could say that he's found some real new 363 00:30:04.759 --> 00:30:11.079 students, that he's got a real family that obeys him and respects him. 364 00:30:11.079 --> 00:30:15.279 I mean, it's not over by a long shot, but I would have 365 00:30:15.519 --> 00:30:22.680 liked Otis if this was determined to be the turn quote unquote, you know 366 00:30:22.720 --> 00:30:29.440 this is where Otis finally snapped. If this is really really, if that's 367 00:30:29.480 --> 00:30:33.200 it, then this is a big disappointment. I know they're gonna have tag 368 00:30:33.240 --> 00:30:37.759 team matches and several variations of matches moving on. But if this was the 369 00:30:37.839 --> 00:30:42.920 moment, because they're all about moments, if this was to be the moment 370 00:30:42.960 --> 00:30:48.920 that Otis finally snapped on Gable, it left a lot to be desired. 371 00:30:48.559 --> 00:30:52.240 And again, it's not to say that they can't have a lot of matches 372 00:30:52.240 --> 00:30:56.440 down the road. With tag teams and six women and having Maxine and Ivy 373 00:30:56.519 --> 00:31:00.799 Nile face off and all that. You could do many combinations the Creed brothers 374 00:31:00.839 --> 00:31:04.880 and with a Kira to Zala and with Otis and Gable, of course you 375 00:31:04.880 --> 00:31:10.359 can. But again, that moment, that moment that happened last night was 376 00:31:10.359 --> 00:31:11.920 the moment that they've been building to, that you've been wanting to see, 377 00:31:11.920 --> 00:31:15.599 that the crowd's been asking to see and chanting for, and you can't get 378 00:31:15.599 --> 00:31:22.039 that moment back you would have liked to have seen if this was really the 379 00:31:22.079 --> 00:31:26.279 moment, and I think it was, because it's hard to duplicate this again, 380 00:31:26.920 --> 00:31:30.839 then it's a bit of a womp because it could have been better. 381 00:31:30.839 --> 00:31:37.240 Otis should have laid the smack down all over Gable. And then that's when 382 00:31:37.279 --> 00:31:41.759 Gable goes and recruits some new pupils and gets his revenge on Otis next week. 383 00:31:42.480 --> 00:31:45.640 But you, at least in the moment, have that moment, so 384 00:31:47.160 --> 00:31:52.240 I don't know, you know, Gable deserved to get his ass beat there, 385 00:31:52.279 --> 00:31:53.759 and then he comes back and gets his heat back the very next week. 386 00:31:53.799 --> 00:31:57.559 But again, at this point, the way he left money nett Raw, 387 00:31:57.680 --> 00:32:04.839 with Gable being just weirdly sidetracked into the Wyat's sixth assault, it looks 388 00:32:04.839 --> 00:32:08.240 like Gable should be, you know, we should be having a awake for 389 00:32:08.319 --> 00:32:13.799 him next week. He looked like he got shot in the head. So 390 00:32:14.039 --> 00:32:20.759 a weird turn of events for Gable. All right, a lot of recap 391 00:32:21.119 --> 00:32:24.759 from not just Class of the Castle, but also the Live and Dom stuff. 392 00:32:24.799 --> 00:32:30.200 And Live stole Dom's vest and then she asked Dom, if you want 393 00:32:30.240 --> 00:32:35.400 it back to you'll have to take it off me and Lives playing her role 394 00:32:35.839 --> 00:32:40.400 just so just perfectly, I will say, Dom, when he you know, 395 00:32:43.160 --> 00:32:47.079 was trying to search for his vest, does he not watch his out 396 00:32:47.200 --> 00:32:52.440 this show? I mean the show that you're on would have revealed to you 397 00:32:52.519 --> 00:32:55.960 who has it and where they are. Yeah, but so it was kind 398 00:32:57.000 --> 00:32:59.680 of a weirdly time thing when he saw Live and he's like, oh, 399 00:33:00.279 --> 00:33:01.240 I's like, you're the one that has my vest. It's like, dude, 400 00:33:01.240 --> 00:33:04.920 if you just watched the show five minutes earlier, you would have seen 401 00:33:05.000 --> 00:33:09.160 you know. But fine, I still love this storyline. Dom is eventually 402 00:33:09.200 --> 00:33:14.519 going to cave here if he already hasn't. I think that this has done. 403 00:33:14.759 --> 00:33:20.960 This whole thing has been very well, very well executed by Dom, 404 00:33:21.240 --> 00:33:25.160 especially by Liv who is the breakout star here, who has seemingly finally found 405 00:33:25.240 --> 00:33:30.200 her footing as to who and what she is. This version of Liv Morgan 406 00:33:30.799 --> 00:33:36.279 is the is the sweet spot. You know, she's undershot it, overshot 407 00:33:36.279 --> 00:33:39.160 it. Now she's kind of, I think, where she needs to be 408 00:33:39.359 --> 00:33:45.599 character wise. It's the right amount of seduction for what her character is doing. 409 00:33:45.680 --> 00:33:49.960 And by the way, her character is only doing this to get at 410 00:33:50.079 --> 00:33:54.839 Rhea Ripley. This is not doing a seductive character for the sake of seduction. 411 00:33:54.960 --> 00:33:58.880 There's a evil intent behind it. So those of you that are saying, 412 00:33:58.920 --> 00:34:00.079 well, I thought you wanted women progress and move it, Yeah, 413 00:34:00.079 --> 00:34:06.759 I do. But there's a way to do sensuality and seduction that isn't overtly 414 00:34:06.960 --> 00:34:10.039 sexual, right, there's a way to do it, and they're threading that 415 00:34:10.079 --> 00:34:16.159 needle perfectly here. You know, Live isn't coming out in stripper clothes and 416 00:34:16.239 --> 00:34:22.679 wearing potato sacks. There is a way to be sensual with your look, 417 00:34:23.159 --> 00:34:29.960 with your voice, with your eyes that don't always require the superficial version of 418 00:34:30.000 --> 00:34:34.119 sensuality that we looked at today and think about today, which is just how 419 00:34:34.159 --> 00:34:36.880 much skin is she showing, how much ass is she showing? Or her 420 00:34:36.880 --> 00:34:43.400 moves out? You know. So this is a very I think deeper sensuality 421 00:34:43.880 --> 00:34:49.000 that she is she's showing. And I really appreciate that, you know, 422 00:34:49.039 --> 00:34:54.159 because it's it tells a better story with Dom and Live than the superficial version 423 00:34:54.239 --> 00:35:00.119 of what you know, a lot of us think about sexuality and sensuality today, 424 00:35:00.320 --> 00:35:04.679 so little nuanced there, But I love this story. You know, 425 00:35:04.719 --> 00:35:07.519 the key card from last week Finn is claiming he kept it to protect Dom, 426 00:35:07.599 --> 00:35:14.800 and then Damien catches Dom unzipping Live to get his vest back. It's 427 00:35:14.840 --> 00:35:19.320 all just again very well done. All right, it's purple Calvest by the 428 00:35:19.360 --> 00:35:27.199 way. Oh God's great. So okay, we get Eo Sky versus Keana 429 00:35:27.280 --> 00:35:30.519 James versus Selena Vega and a triple threat qualifying match. I guess they're going 430 00:35:30.519 --> 00:35:34.400 a lot of triple threats for the money the bank ladder match, which is 431 00:35:34.440 --> 00:35:40.880 fine for the women's money in the bank ladder match. And let's see, 432 00:35:42.239 --> 00:35:45.840 there are going to be six entrants by the way, into the money in 433 00:35:45.880 --> 00:35:52.320 the bank ladder matches. And we ended up getting Eo Sky winning after she 434 00:35:52.400 --> 00:35:58.039 defeated Kana James and Zelina Vega in eight and a half minutes, and it 435 00:35:58.159 --> 00:36:05.239 was because of liv Morgan who walked out and distracted Vega and James knocked Vega 436 00:36:05.320 --> 00:36:07.840 to ringside and then Sky hit James with a meteora and then hit her with 437 00:36:07.880 --> 00:36:13.400 the over the Moon salt and scored the victory. So good, there's a 438 00:36:13.400 --> 00:36:17.559 fine triple threat. Not much more to say there. Now, let's see, 439 00:36:17.559 --> 00:36:24.480 we got our screaming Intercontinental Champion, Sammy's Ain coming out and said he 440 00:36:24.519 --> 00:36:29.039 was proud to walk into Corpus Christy still the icy champ, and said that 441 00:36:29.280 --> 00:36:32.599 Gable didn't make that easy and in so many words, said he's moving on 442 00:36:32.760 --> 00:36:39.559 from Chad Gable and bron Breaker came out, which, by the way, 443 00:36:39.679 --> 00:36:45.559 can this dude get please get some new entrance music. He needs it desperately. 444 00:36:46.440 --> 00:36:51.960 Bron Breaker, for all the impact he's had, needs entrance music in 445 00:36:52.000 --> 00:36:57.760 the worst way. It's not catchy, it's not annoying, it's not anything. 446 00:36:57.800 --> 00:37:01.920 It's just just there. It's like the background music to a video game. 447 00:37:05.119 --> 00:37:09.719 It's not it's not nothing. So they need to really be hopefully, 448 00:37:09.800 --> 00:37:15.519 if they're positioning Breaker for a long sustained run as a top guy in the 449 00:37:15.559 --> 00:37:21.639 near future, they need to revamp his entrance not his character necessarily. I 450 00:37:21.639 --> 00:37:25.920 think his character is slowly you know, he's seeing slow layers being built to 451 00:37:27.000 --> 00:37:32.159 him. But entrances are important, and I think that it's time for us 452 00:37:32.199 --> 00:37:37.760 to get a revamped version of his entrance music, something that is. Again, 453 00:37:37.800 --> 00:37:40.039 it doesn't have to be catchy. I know we're all looking for the 454 00:37:40.079 --> 00:37:45.719 catchy tune, the sing along tune, which is really what wrestling. You 455 00:37:45.760 --> 00:37:49.159 know, babyfaces have going for them these days, seth Rollins, Sammy's Ain, 456 00:37:49.280 --> 00:37:54.320 most notably Cody Roads, even Randy Orton. So it's not about sing 457 00:37:54.360 --> 00:38:00.760 along for me, it's just catchy, impactful. It's just like someone took 458 00:38:00.880 --> 00:38:06.599 El Generico and gave him his you know, his entrance music. So anyway, 459 00:38:07.159 --> 00:38:12.239 bron Braker came out and said he didn't have much to say because Zaine 460 00:38:12.320 --> 00:38:15.639 knows what he's there for and what he's capable of doing. And Zaye spoke 461 00:38:15.639 --> 00:38:20.679 about the bodies he's left, and Braker said Zain is next on his list 462 00:38:21.199 --> 00:38:27.119 because I'm taking the Intercontinental Championship. And Seamus comes out and makes his entrance. 463 00:38:29.199 --> 00:38:31.800 He said he's been chasing the Icy title for five years. I didn't 464 00:38:31.800 --> 00:38:35.639 know, I never wont it. That's crazy. Seamus said that if Zayin 465 00:38:35.800 --> 00:38:39.599 is giving out opportunities, he should consider him. Seamus told Zayne he's coming 466 00:38:39.599 --> 00:38:46.000 for the title, and this led to a match between the two after some 467 00:38:46.079 --> 00:38:52.280 more trash talk, and that would happen later in the night to see who 468 00:38:52.320 --> 00:38:57.480 would face Samy Zain for the Intercontinental title. All right, well, then 469 00:38:57.559 --> 00:39:04.719 we get Dragon Lee versus Carlito, which ended with Carlito beating Dragon Lee in 470 00:39:04.760 --> 00:39:09.159 eight minutes. But again live Morgan came out in the purple cow vest and 471 00:39:09.239 --> 00:39:15.320 as Lenavega came out, shoved Morgan into dom and Wild tried to pull Vega 472 00:39:15.400 --> 00:39:17.400 away and then got into it with Dom, who shoved him into the ring 473 00:39:17.480 --> 00:39:22.039 steps and Ray threw punches at Dom, and then Lee went to the ropes 474 00:39:22.079 --> 00:39:25.599 and was tripped by McDonough. Carlitle hits a backstabber on Lee and then got 475 00:39:25.599 --> 00:39:34.519 the victory. And uh yeah, so fine, fine finished here, all 476 00:39:34.639 --> 00:39:37.960 right. McIntyre comes out as I said, and just said, I can't 477 00:39:37.960 --> 00:39:44.320 do this anymore, screw this company. I quit, and so yeah, 478 00:39:44.360 --> 00:39:47.880 again a very to me. I missed opportunities in this particular description. You 479 00:39:47.920 --> 00:39:52.519 know this this uh you know the reviewer was looking for a pipe bomb version 480 00:39:53.440 --> 00:39:58.159 of a promo for McIntyre, and I would concur with that. There was 481 00:39:58.199 --> 00:40:02.039 so much anger and frustrat he could have tapped into here, and it was 482 00:40:02.119 --> 00:40:08.119 just I quit. It's like, really, I mean, there's times to 483 00:40:08.199 --> 00:40:13.840 say that and do that. I'm not against someone saying I quit as part 484 00:40:13.880 --> 00:40:16.400 of a story. This was not one of those times, though, Like 485 00:40:16.480 --> 00:40:21.159 there's you could have gotten more out of this moment, and Drew's more than 486 00:40:21.199 --> 00:40:25.280 capable of doing it. So again, I just I don't agree with how 487 00:40:27.199 --> 00:40:31.440 this was done, but I'm still absolutely intrigued by when McIntyre returns. I 488 00:40:31.440 --> 00:40:35.400 mean, obviously it's a ruse. He didn't actually quit. He's gonna attack 489 00:40:35.480 --> 00:40:38.119 Punk and then use this against Punk and all these things, and that's fine, 490 00:40:39.960 --> 00:40:44.000 but boy, you had a perfect setup. And it was even advertised 491 00:40:44.039 --> 00:40:46.719 as such that it must see TV tomorrow night. Can you imagine what Drew's 492 00:40:46.719 --> 00:40:51.039 gonna do? And Drew's like, yeah, I'm out. It's like, 493 00:40:51.239 --> 00:40:53.360 what are you talking about? You're out? What do you mean You're out? 494 00:40:54.920 --> 00:41:00.239 It's just am just disappointing from my perspective. All right, to go 495 00:41:00.280 --> 00:41:05.840 to Kai and Kyrie saying versus Kate and Carter and Katwana Chance, And this 496 00:41:05.960 --> 00:41:09.079 match, as every single one of net Raw, any tag team champion or 497 00:41:09.119 --> 00:41:14.400 any tag team match with the women that doesn't have anything to do with anything, 498 00:41:14.519 --> 00:41:16.679 lasts two and a half minutes. It seems to be exactly the case 499 00:41:16.760 --> 00:41:20.039 this week too. It's just two and a half minutes with Kayden, Carter 500 00:41:20.079 --> 00:41:25.280 and Katana Chance beating. To go to Kai and Kyrie saying fine. I 501 00:41:25.320 --> 00:41:29.960 mean, I hate to say it, but whatever. Because there wasn't a 502 00:41:29.960 --> 00:41:31.559 whole lot of urgency with this match. It felt very much like a filler, 503 00:41:31.639 --> 00:41:35.360 very much like a check box, a check mark in the box that 504 00:41:35.440 --> 00:41:40.559 they had at women's tag team match. Yeah, so all right, we 505 00:41:40.639 --> 00:41:45.559 got bron Breaker versus Seamus, and I really enjoyed this. You know, 506 00:41:45.719 --> 00:41:51.280 Seamus has gotten himself back into a leaner, meaner version of himself. There 507 00:41:51.320 --> 00:41:57.280 is no longer burger after burger after burgers. As Mcatyre famously put it several 508 00:41:57.320 --> 00:42:05.159 weeks ago, physical match, fun match. The announcers putting over Breaker constantly 509 00:42:05.239 --> 00:42:07.760 is is actually I mean I understand why they're doing it. I mean talking 510 00:42:07.760 --> 00:42:10.199 about how fast he runs the ropes and how explosive he is, and I 511 00:42:10.239 --> 00:42:14.159 mean that was no problem with that. You know, that's their job is 512 00:42:14.199 --> 00:42:16.800 to put over talent and giving us those stats is very interesting, you know. 513 00:42:17.679 --> 00:42:22.880 But Seamus ended up well, not winning, but it was a no 514 00:42:22.039 --> 00:42:28.000 contest. In about thirteen minutes. This match went into a no contest because 515 00:42:28.800 --> 00:42:34.880 we got Ludwig Kaiser showing up and Polish pulled Seamus out after he was just 516 00:42:34.920 --> 00:42:37.800 about to go for the bro kick, and then you know, Kaiser ended 517 00:42:37.880 --> 00:42:42.360 up slamming Shamus's bad knee into the ring post and the referee call for the 518 00:42:42.360 --> 00:42:49.039 bell, and Seamus got the better of Kaiser, and that's when Breaker ended 519 00:42:49.119 --> 00:42:57.079 up spearing Seamus. He ended up eventually also spearing Kaiser. So Breaker had 520 00:42:57.119 --> 00:43:04.800 another spear filled night. So yeah, it's also it made sense that I 521 00:43:04.880 --> 00:43:07.719 was honestly, we didn't get a clean finish year. Seamus just returned. 522 00:43:07.719 --> 00:43:10.800 You can still get some mileage out of him. And Breaker is a guy 523 00:43:10.840 --> 00:43:15.440 that does not need or should have a loss on his record right now. 524 00:43:16.159 --> 00:43:21.400 So bron Breaker has been billed as the guy that is destructive. He's not 525 00:43:21.639 --> 00:43:24.159 Goldberg for everyone else by the way mentioning it, He's not Goldberg. Goldberg 526 00:43:24.679 --> 00:43:30.320 had as many you know, moves in his arsenal as I have hairs on 527 00:43:30.360 --> 00:43:34.239 my head. Okay, and if you see the logo of my show, 528 00:43:34.639 --> 00:43:38.719 I think that should answer your questions about how many moves Goldberg had. But 529 00:43:39.719 --> 00:43:45.719 the spear, I will say too, the spear is becoming the superkick in 530 00:43:45.800 --> 00:43:51.480 some respects where it seems like we have everyone using it now, I would 531 00:43:51.519 --> 00:43:54.719 cool it with the spear. Bron Breakers should be the only guy using it. 532 00:43:54.760 --> 00:44:00.320 I know Jay Uso does. He's a big star, obviously one of 533 00:44:00.320 --> 00:44:04.639 the faces of money at RAW. Now we have Brown Breaker using it, 534 00:44:05.039 --> 00:44:08.199 there's someone else that uses it to Obviously, Roman Reigns uses it as a 535 00:44:08.239 --> 00:44:13.480 finish and it's an impactful, big move, but it feels like slowly people 536 00:44:13.519 --> 00:44:22.960 are adopting it here. But all right, so well, we did get 537 00:44:22.119 --> 00:44:25.800 a promo by the way, from Carrying Cross and Scarlett's. Cross spoke about 538 00:44:25.800 --> 00:44:30.480 his recent dealings with Kofi an Xavier and Cross said he was thinking about doing 539 00:44:30.519 --> 00:44:34.440 something really out of control, but then Scarlett came up with an idea to 540 00:44:34.480 --> 00:44:37.960 do something that wouldn't result in him going to jail, and Cross challenged Kingston 541 00:44:38.039 --> 00:44:43.079 or Woods to face him in a match with no one at ringside, and 542 00:44:43.440 --> 00:44:46.159 Cross said he hopes it would be Kingston and added that KOFE would rather have 543 00:44:46.239 --> 00:44:54.599 Woods in the back anyway. So yeah, I don't know. I guess 544 00:44:54.639 --> 00:44:59.840 they're trying to talk about a potential split with these with the New Day on 545 00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:01.679 say, I don't even care anymore. I just want them off my screen. 546 00:45:02.360 --> 00:45:05.440 I mean, I don't know how to say it any more than that, 547 00:45:06.280 --> 00:45:10.719 all right. Cole also announced that Drew deactivated all of his social media 548 00:45:10.760 --> 00:45:15.639 accounts after announcing he quit. So they're trying to make this a little real, 549 00:45:15.679 --> 00:45:16.920 I guess. But Ultimately, Drew is of course going to come back 550 00:45:16.920 --> 00:45:23.719 and attack Punk. I appreciate the commitment though Jay versus Ray versus Finn. 551 00:45:23.920 --> 00:45:28.000 This was a money in the Bank qualifier for the men's side of things. 552 00:45:28.280 --> 00:45:31.880 So again we have EO as one of the competitors of the women. The 553 00:45:32.039 --> 00:45:36.199 men was about to be decided here as far as who's going to be the 554 00:45:36.239 --> 00:45:39.559 first competitor in the match, and it ended up being Jay Uso who wins 555 00:45:39.599 --> 00:45:46.119 in about sixteen minutes, and really fun match for all three of these men. 556 00:45:47.719 --> 00:45:52.039 Six one nine's everywhere, and uh, you know six one nine, 557 00:45:52.079 --> 00:45:54.000 you get a six one nine, and you get a six one nine. 558 00:45:54.360 --> 00:46:00.440 It was all over the place. You know. We did get Dom showing 559 00:46:00.519 --> 00:46:06.440 up and yeah, I don't know, it felt a very judgment dayish kind 560 00:46:06.440 --> 00:46:09.840 of finish here, but Jay getting the victory was the right move. Jay 561 00:46:09.920 --> 00:46:13.719 was the first one to talk about money in the bank several weeks ago before 562 00:46:13.760 --> 00:46:16.519 even Clash to the Castle. Jay, I think right now is a heavy 563 00:46:16.559 --> 00:46:20.920 favorite to win the money in the Bank, as he should be, because 564 00:46:20.920 --> 00:46:25.480 think about this as you move forward. If my plan does come to fruition 565 00:46:25.599 --> 00:46:30.440 where Seth wins against Priest becomes world champion at Money in the Bank, and 566 00:46:30.480 --> 00:46:37.400 I think he will. You then have you have Jay Uso looming, but 567 00:46:37.559 --> 00:46:45.480 again you have a year to cash it in, and you have Seth Rollins, 568 00:46:45.199 --> 00:46:52.440 who is world champion. Likely if he wins at at Money in the 569 00:46:52.440 --> 00:46:55.599 Bank, he's probably going to keep that for least through survivorsories to the Rumble, 570 00:46:55.639 --> 00:47:00.679 maybe to WrestleMania, and then you can have ja So maybe cash in 571 00:47:00.719 --> 00:47:07.239 on the heel that ends up beating Seth Rollins. Maybe it's gun Through. 572 00:47:07.280 --> 00:47:10.760 Maybe jaus So eventually cashes inad on Gunther. I don't know a lot of 573 00:47:10.760 --> 00:47:15.480 scenarios. I know, I spiderwebbed into possibilities here, and you never know 574 00:47:15.519 --> 00:47:16.519 what's going to happen. I mean, we don't even know the other five 575 00:47:16.559 --> 00:47:25.599 competitors yet Jay is just one. So all right, so we have again 576 00:47:25.639 --> 00:47:31.719 aggravated assault occur after this. I mean, it was a fun visual, 577 00:47:32.280 --> 00:47:37.559 but you can't think too hard at all about this if you want to enjoy 578 00:47:37.599 --> 00:47:40.840 it. I just hope they don't go on this ti rate of actually trying 579 00:47:40.880 --> 00:47:45.400 to kill people or that they you know, they make everyone bleed all the 580 00:47:45.480 --> 00:47:51.239 time. I appreciate the resurgence of blood though I have to say I'm a 581 00:47:51.239 --> 00:47:58.760 big blood fan when when necessary. But I just hope they don't go and 582 00:47:58.800 --> 00:48:04.960 try to actually kill people every week. That's it'll become laughable. You know, 583 00:48:05.239 --> 00:48:07.800 you can get away with it once and next week you can say that 584 00:48:07.880 --> 00:48:13.559 you know, several staff members were hospitalized, including Chad Gable. Everyone's in 585 00:48:13.639 --> 00:48:17.280 stable condition. Everyone's expected to make it. Some broken bones, right, 586 00:48:17.320 --> 00:48:20.960 like you can make it like everyone, you know, everyone that was shown 587 00:48:21.400 --> 00:48:24.440 was knocked out, not killed. But there were blood splatters, not just 588 00:48:24.519 --> 00:48:30.360 on Chad Gable, but like on several like areas of the backstage area where 589 00:48:30.360 --> 00:48:37.519 Gorilla is there were several blood spatters. So I mean, I I don't 590 00:48:37.559 --> 00:48:39.320 know how they're gonna explain it, but i'd be cool if they just said, 591 00:48:39.360 --> 00:48:45.000 you know that no one's in critical condition, that you know everyone's hospitalized, 592 00:48:45.280 --> 00:48:47.920 make up something. But I don't want their gig to be that they 593 00:48:49.000 --> 00:48:53.920 kill people. Please don't let it be their gig, please, I think 594 00:48:53.960 --> 00:48:57.360 that would be. It was just it's just not it's not real. Like 595 00:48:57.400 --> 00:49:02.519 I said, you can't deliver, you can't deliver on it. So just 596 00:49:04.239 --> 00:49:07.360 the thought there. But all right, I know it. As I said, 597 00:49:07.440 --> 00:49:09.440 I know, I don't every week. I don't cover every nooking cranny 598 00:49:09.559 --> 00:49:13.800 of Raw. I just don't. That's not my style. But I think 599 00:49:13.840 --> 00:49:16.599 I hit on a lot of the big stuff. And it was a very 600 00:49:16.639 --> 00:49:21.840 eventful Raw. If you were in Raw at Raw in Corpus Christie's, Texas 601 00:49:22.000 --> 00:49:23.599 at the American Bank Center, you had a hell of a show. I 602 00:49:23.599 --> 00:49:30.119 think you got your money's worth. Between debuts of the Wyatt six family whatever 603 00:49:30.119 --> 00:49:36.800 they're called, seth rollins, returning money, the bank qualifiers, drew quitting. 604 00:49:37.800 --> 00:49:40.559 You got a lot here. So I think it was a fun show 605 00:49:42.360 --> 00:49:44.880 and it's only going to get better from here. As we getting closer and 606 00:49:44.880 --> 00:49:47.119 closer to money the bank, we get to think about who could win and 607 00:49:47.119 --> 00:49:52.079 why and maybe something from SmackDown wins and all that stuff. So we've got 608 00:49:52.119 --> 00:49:58.079 a lot to talk about as we move forward here in time. And then 609 00:49:58.119 --> 00:50:00.400 we started talking about SummerSlam after this. It's gonna come quick, and I 610 00:50:00.400 --> 00:50:04.960 think SummerSlam is super early this year too. It's the beginning of August, 611 00:50:06.159 --> 00:50:09.360 so you're gonna blink in Summer is gonna be over. Honestly, when Summer 612 00:50:09.360 --> 00:50:14.800 Slam comes, you know, it's the end of the summer, because summer 613 00:50:14.840 --> 00:50:19.480 slam. It's August always, and you're like, well, there goes summer. 614 00:50:19.519 --> 00:50:22.039 It's over. June to me flies by. It's the fastest month of 615 00:50:22.079 --> 00:50:25.400 the whole year for me, June for some reason. And we're already nearly 616 00:50:25.400 --> 00:50:30.239 twenty days into June. We're two thirds of the way through June already, 617 00:50:30.480 --> 00:50:34.840 and we just got here, damn it. And July is, you know, 618 00:50:34.920 --> 00:50:37.800 midsummer. It's the only month you can look at and go all right, 619 00:50:37.840 --> 00:50:39.159 this is truly summer. And then August. By the time August hits, 620 00:50:39.239 --> 00:50:43.480 especially if you're in the northern part of the United States or anywhere that 621 00:50:43.559 --> 00:50:46.079 has it, you know, a winter season, you're thinking to yourself, 622 00:50:46.239 --> 00:50:51.199 Okay, well, August is kind of it. Here come the leaves, 623 00:50:51.440 --> 00:50:54.000 Here comes pumpkins, spice, here comes football, here comes you know, 624 00:50:54.079 --> 00:50:59.800 apple picking, Here comes pumpkins, and it's over. So not to be 625 00:50:59.840 --> 00:51:01.400 a pressing. If you love the fall weather, you know, you blanket 626 00:51:01.440 --> 00:51:06.639 it's here.
