So with 4 00:00:24.079 --> 00:00:34.240 that being said, we only have one question for you, we thought, 5 00:00:34.280 --> 00:00:41.000 so let's get the show started right now. All right, everyone, this 6 00:00:41.320 --> 00:00:45.799 is Memphis Mark coming to you from Mullet Manor, and we're going to do 7 00:00:45.880 --> 00:00:52.159 a review for the NXT Show on six thirteen. And they actually are getting 8 00:00:52.280 --> 00:00:56.560 ready, I guess you would say, getting ready for the Great American Bash. 9 00:00:56.640 --> 00:01:02.119 And over the next couple of weeks they're doing something called the gold Rush. 10 00:01:02.159 --> 00:01:06.640 And um, they're bringing in some talent, uh from the main roster. 11 00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:10.359 I would say, uh, um, you know you've got Mustafa Ali, 12 00:01:10.640 --> 00:01:15.959 You've got Baron Corbin, You've got to uh let me see uh Roberto 13 00:01:17.079 --> 00:01:22.200 and uh and uh Garrez and and I mean I'm leaving someone out, but 14 00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:27.760 um, oh, of course seth Rollins and just leave him out. Huh. 15 00:01:27.760 --> 00:01:30.239 But they've got all these guys coming in, so it should be a 16 00:01:30.280 --> 00:01:34.920 good ratings boost, uh, a good jump start for him. And and 17 00:01:36.040 --> 00:01:41.879 they start this show out actually with uh Wesley of the North American champ and 18 00:01:42.239 --> 00:01:48.799 Mustafa Ali and and Tyler Bate going against gizzm and uh, you know, 19 00:01:49.079 --> 00:01:53.840 uh, this is actually a really really good back match. Uh died really 20 00:01:53.920 --> 00:01:57.200 doesn't disappoint. They're they're really really good that every time I see them, 21 00:01:57.239 --> 00:02:04.000 it seems like they're getting better. Um this whole thing with Gaycy Uh, 22 00:02:04.040 --> 00:02:06.359 I'm not too keen on the ava, but you know, it is what 23 00:02:06.439 --> 00:02:09.680 it is. But you know the schism um, excuse me, schism Uh. 24 00:02:10.199 --> 00:02:15.439 They they've kind of got things going pretty good. But uh in this 25 00:02:15.520 --> 00:02:19.800 match, man, they start off kind of old school and just get in 26 00:02:19.840 --> 00:02:23.439 there and start tearing it up. And uh uh, I mean everything works 27 00:02:23.479 --> 00:02:25.759 good on this match. I don't have anything bad to say. Ali is 28 00:02:25.879 --> 00:02:30.199 man. Ali takes a shot in the turnbuckles. Man, he gets thrown 29 00:02:30.199 --> 00:02:36.000 into the turnbuckles, and he sells it like it's a freaking car crash. 30 00:02:36.120 --> 00:02:39.199 So he does a great job in this and and everything's you know, the 31 00:02:39.240 --> 00:02:44.280 match is good. I'm enjoying it. But there's some kind of mix up 32 00:02:44.319 --> 00:02:49.000 with the tag. Somebody is tagged and Gacy's about to win, and uh, 33 00:02:49.240 --> 00:02:53.639 another ref comes in. Now I've seen a lot of angles on the 34 00:02:53.719 --> 00:02:57.599 reffs. This one was a little different, but hey it's something, you 35 00:02:57.639 --> 00:03:02.080 know different. They use correct a mis steak. And then the next thing, 36 00:03:02.080 --> 00:03:07.919 you know, Tyler bait is uh is a pinning mister gaycy so, 37 00:03:07.280 --> 00:03:12.719 uh, you know it is what it is. But the match, hey, 38 00:03:12.840 --> 00:03:15.639 uh it's worth checking out for sure. Um after that, you got 39 00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:22.960 a promo with uh yeah, with the uh and uh Drew Goolack intempsee and 40 00:03:22.960 --> 00:03:28.039 and of course mister du Kotchin who uh you know, they're always doing something 41 00:03:28.039 --> 00:03:30.479 with the Graden papers or some of that crap. I don't know. But 42 00:03:30.520 --> 00:03:34.159 now they're starting to put an angle in uh to where they're trying to bring 43 00:03:34.199 --> 00:03:38.560 Andre Chase back. Uh he's needing some help. Uh you know. Then 44 00:03:39.280 --> 00:03:43.360 uh it's a it's a filler time, I guess, and it's getting these 45 00:03:43.360 --> 00:03:47.159 guys ready for future endeavors. But uh, you're a little odd. But 46 00:03:47.199 --> 00:03:53.639 then then after that, though, they've got the uh uh the bron Breaker 47 00:03:53.360 --> 00:03:58.439 promo and uh, you know Broun comes out in all black. You know, 48 00:03:58.560 --> 00:04:00.240 he's got the h the gold and you know, got the you know, 49 00:04:00.280 --> 00:04:04.199 the look, he's got the beard. Uh, he looks like somebody 50 00:04:04.240 --> 00:04:09.960 that's collecting money for somebody named Guido. Uh so, yeah, he gets 51 00:04:09.960 --> 00:04:13.639 out there and he starts, you know, uh, chambering on about us 52 00:04:13.680 --> 00:04:16.399 Seth and the next thing, you know, you've got dragged off coming out 53 00:04:16.519 --> 00:04:20.839 and uh yeah, he wants to get in there, but now they uh 54 00:04:20.959 --> 00:04:26.600 they hold him back and and Braun keeps hollering and he's going to hold everybody 55 00:04:26.720 --> 00:04:30.519 accountable. Uh so U you know, about that time he's getting good into 56 00:04:30.519 --> 00:04:33.360 a spot, they do kind of like an old school deal. They they 57 00:04:33.399 --> 00:04:39.199 send in a promo and Sef sends in a promo and and he kind of 58 00:04:39.240 --> 00:04:43.600 goes through the that where he started there and he was a champ and now 59 00:04:43.680 --> 00:04:46.920 Braun was a champ. And so anyway it comes down to, yes, 60 00:04:47.120 --> 00:04:51.800 he's going to take the match. So next week, Um yeah, next 61 00:04:51.800 --> 00:04:57.040 week they're gonna have that match. So that should be pretty freaking good. 62 00:04:57.079 --> 00:05:01.240 We get to really see the caliber of talent that uh that Braun really is. 63 00:05:01.720 --> 00:05:05.839 You know, can he hang with some of these guys. I know 64 00:05:05.920 --> 00:05:09.720 he's got the strength. I know he's been training. I know he's been 65 00:05:09.800 --> 00:05:13.480 putting the work in. From everything that I've seen, so you know, 66 00:05:13.720 --> 00:05:16.240 hey, we will see you next week for sure. Uh. And and 67 00:05:16.279 --> 00:05:20.920 another one of the main rosters that I did forget uh was Dana Brook. 68 00:05:21.600 --> 00:05:26.600 Yeah, Dana Brook. They've got her and the next tea I guess, 69 00:05:26.839 --> 00:05:30.319 uh, you know, kind of redoing her, gonna rebrand her, I'm 70 00:05:30.360 --> 00:05:33.439 guessing. Uh, you know, they bring uh uh Core Jade out there 71 00:05:33.519 --> 00:05:38.279 and let Cora get into mix, and of course Kora's gonna end up slapping 72 00:05:38.279 --> 00:05:40.959 her and setting up for the match, you know, setting up for a 73 00:05:41.040 --> 00:05:45.160 match up coming. But yeah, she and she doesn't do the core you 74 00:05:45.199 --> 00:05:48.839 know how Core is real bad about just doing the you know when she does 75 00:05:48.879 --> 00:05:54.240 something, so uh yeah, kind of kind of different there. So they're 76 00:05:54.279 --> 00:05:58.279 building up a Kor Jade Dana Brook match. I'm pretty sure it's gonna be 77 00:05:58.360 --> 00:06:01.680 at uh probably the Great American Bash. Not sure on that one yet. 78 00:06:02.720 --> 00:06:08.920 But yeah, after that, they've got a thea Hell match with Cora Jade. 79 00:06:09.680 --> 00:06:14.199 So since she has slapped Dana, you know how this is gonna work 80 00:06:14.240 --> 00:06:19.000 out? Uh? Yeah, they have a match. The matches match is 81 00:06:19.040 --> 00:06:24.360 not very good, uh but you know, the timing seems to be off, 82 00:06:24.439 --> 00:06:28.279 and and I know thee is you know means well by watching all those 83 00:06:28.399 --> 00:06:32.680 Ultimate Warrior old tapes. But she's kind of taking it to the extreme there. 84 00:06:33.519 --> 00:06:36.959 Uh it's just I mean she's gonna pull a win off here, and 85 00:06:38.079 --> 00:06:43.279 it's just her timing is off everything. Corl really had to work on this 86 00:06:43.319 --> 00:06:46.680 one to make it make her get over. Um, just not a not 87 00:06:46.720 --> 00:06:50.519 a good one. There's a couple of matches in here today that you know. 88 00:06:50.920 --> 00:06:55.839 The first match was schism and uh and the Guy's men, you know, 89 00:06:56.079 --> 00:06:59.720 really good and really good. But after that, yeah, that one 90 00:06:59.759 --> 00:07:03.879 was too good. So but to yeah, they go into the uh well 91 00:07:03.920 --> 00:07:10.120 they do it a little interview with uh Mustifi and uh Tyler and um and 92 00:07:10.360 --> 00:07:15.240 Weslee and they're referring to that the Tyler and West are gonna have a match, 93 00:07:15.639 --> 00:07:20.519 so must if I has put himself in as the referee. So um 94 00:07:20.519 --> 00:07:26.160 an angle coming up, maybe a turn, Uh we will see, we 95 00:07:26.279 --> 00:07:30.439 will see. But tell yeah, the Heritage Cup they bring that in and 96 00:07:30.600 --> 00:07:36.560 uh oh man um, first of all, they they pretty much uh no 97 00:07:38.160 --> 00:07:41.839 m dar is on crutches, and I thought that was going to be the 98 00:07:41.839 --> 00:07:46.839 angle I'm setting up, going something's gonna happen with that, But but no, 99 00:07:46.839 --> 00:07:49.920 no, it wasn't it. It ended up being uh, he must 100 00:07:49.920 --> 00:07:56.120 have gotten hurt or something because they they bring in Mensa or on Mensa to 101 00:07:56.279 --> 00:08:01.879 actually defend his own Ah, but you know Mensa can throw, so Mensa 102 00:08:01.920 --> 00:08:05.040 can go down. That is no problem. So now it's set up is 103 00:08:05.600 --> 00:08:13.120 U instead of uh no M doing it defending his cup, it is Mensa 104 00:08:13.439 --> 00:08:18.680 going against Nathan Frasier with Dragon Lee in his corner. And Mensa's got the 105 00:08:18.720 --> 00:08:22.720 crew, he's got the click, he's got the gang there with him, 106 00:08:22.720 --> 00:08:26.480 Miss Jackson lash Legend, and you know, now no M dar so, 107 00:08:28.240 --> 00:08:33.279 um, it looks like it's stacked against Nathan Frasier. But you know, 108 00:08:33.320 --> 00:08:37.240 they do the matches and you have the break in between. So you know, 109 00:08:37.279 --> 00:08:39.720 the first match, Nathan ends up winning, uh you know, and 110 00:08:39.840 --> 00:08:43.960 then it's okay, that looks okay. But the second round Mensa wins with 111 00:08:45.120 --> 00:08:48.159 the little you know, little lash legend getting up in there and and you 112 00:08:48.200 --> 00:08:52.600 know, changing it up and uh you know, and Or gets the win 113 00:08:52.279 --> 00:08:56.440 on the second round. But the third round, third round, it is 114 00:08:56.480 --> 00:09:01.240 a draw, so they go back. And then the fourth round, Uh, 115 00:09:01.360 --> 00:09:05.440 Nathan comes out and really throws down and both of these guys are good 116 00:09:05.440 --> 00:09:11.840 man mensa. Every time I sam he seems like he is. He surprises 117 00:09:11.840 --> 00:09:15.639 me with some of his moves and and he's you know, he's got a 118 00:09:15.679 --> 00:09:20.600 little of that gymnast in him, but it doesn't overtake his his wrestling. 119 00:09:20.320 --> 00:09:24.759 Uh, some great moves in there. And of course Nathan Frasier, I 120 00:09:24.799 --> 00:09:28.879 mean he's tearing it up. If you know, between his show and um 121 00:09:30.440 --> 00:09:35.200 and his in ring ability, you know that sky's a limit for that guy, 122 00:09:35.320 --> 00:09:37.720 good looking young guy man. Uh man, I can see them coming 123 00:09:37.799 --> 00:09:43.039 up with all kinds of different storylines. But uh, anyway, in the 124 00:09:43.240 --> 00:09:48.159 fourth round, uh Frasier off the top rope for the win, and uh 125 00:09:48.720 --> 00:09:54.919 he is our new Heritage Cup champion. Uh so yeah, we can see 126 00:09:56.080 --> 00:09:58.200 all the angles they can do with this. Now they can come off this 127 00:09:58.440 --> 00:10:05.120 with uh mensa did it and have darn mensa. It means just all kinds 128 00:10:05.120 --> 00:10:09.360 of different ways they can do it. Uh, and they do. After 129 00:10:09.399 --> 00:10:13.960 this, they do a couple of little promos and uh uh well they go 130 00:10:13.159 --> 00:10:18.440 through three, but the third one was actually okay um which von Wagner and 131 00:10:18.519 --> 00:10:26.320 mister Stone about therapy and that picture, that dog gone picture. But yeah, 132 00:10:26.320 --> 00:10:31.120 they they ain't bring the angle all the way back to mister Stone that 133 00:10:31.360 --> 00:10:35.960 he is actually the only one that von Wagner and trust. So that will 134 00:10:35.000 --> 00:10:41.240 be an upcoming uh coming into a theater near you. Uh, and you've 135 00:10:41.279 --> 00:10:48.080 got to this is the second match I really didn't like. You got de 136 00:10:48.120 --> 00:10:52.879 Avocado all right now. I would be thinking, or I would think that 137 00:10:52.960 --> 00:10:58.759 they would want to do more of a bill job with him, But they've 138 00:10:58.759 --> 00:11:05.440 got him going against Axiom and Reggie, I mean scripts uh, and you 139 00:11:05.480 --> 00:11:09.360 know, I know they're gonna chop the giant down, and you know, 140 00:11:09.440 --> 00:11:13.279 they let Kato have some good momentum a couple of times in this match, 141 00:11:13.440 --> 00:11:18.440 but really, uh, yeah, they chopped the big man down and they 142 00:11:18.559 --> 00:11:24.679 end up flipping and flopping and they they get the win. Um, I 143 00:11:24.759 --> 00:11:28.879 just don't see it. I just don't see it. I don't like. 144 00:11:28.080 --> 00:11:31.960 I think that was bad writing. I think the whole thing was bad. 145 00:11:31.080 --> 00:11:35.799 But uh, the one good thing about it is after the match, you 146 00:11:35.840 --> 00:11:43.240 did have Garza and Roberto jumping Axim and Retch I mean scrips uh and uh 147 00:11:43.480 --> 00:11:46.919 doing a little throwdown and announcing that they are here too. So uh, 148 00:11:48.240 --> 00:11:52.639 you know that's that's what that's five people from the main roster there coming up 149 00:11:52.679 --> 00:11:56.000 over the next two weeks. So, uh, should be pretty good, 150 00:11:56.240 --> 00:12:00.840 should be pretty good. Uh. Right after that, we've got tax you 151 00:12:00.879 --> 00:12:03.759 know, trying to figure out he of course is the under boss. Uh, 152 00:12:03.879 --> 00:12:07.960 trying to figure out you know who who who write it out to Tony 153 00:12:09.120 --> 00:12:13.639 d and uh, and he's going through it and he's pretty much come to 154 00:12:13.720 --> 00:12:18.480 the conclusion that it is Gallus. So that will be where they're going with 155 00:12:18.559 --> 00:12:22.360 that, for sure. They've been going kind of that way anyway. So 156 00:12:22.399 --> 00:12:26.919 I guess maybe Tony's going to come off the injury reserve or something, and 157 00:12:26.120 --> 00:12:28.639 uh, that will be what's gonna, you know, be coming up. 158 00:12:30.600 --> 00:12:35.000 Uh. And then gosh, man, another chase You promo, just a 159 00:12:35.320 --> 00:12:41.840 strange promo, but Chase You. They talk and uh, that's all I'm 160 00:12:41.879 --> 00:12:45.519 gonna send that one. Uh, we'll go after that. You know, 161 00:12:45.559 --> 00:12:50.279 they've had the last few weeks, they've had h Briggs and and Jensen get 162 00:12:50.320 --> 00:12:52.360 into it, you know, and talking about how they is. They've folled 163 00:12:52.399 --> 00:12:56.759 as brothers and all that. And then uh, of course you had the 164 00:12:56.759 --> 00:13:01.879 famous Hank and Tank connection. Uh. They got in there and threw down 165 00:13:01.000 --> 00:13:07.039 and uh said, they came out better. So they use the same scenario, 166 00:13:07.159 --> 00:13:11.039 same formula, and they put a Blade and Enoughie in there, and 167 00:13:11.240 --> 00:13:16.120 uh, man, Blade and Enoughie are are you know? Their their mic 168 00:13:16.240 --> 00:13:18.639 skills is the only thing. Their in ring ability is great. Man. 169 00:13:18.720 --> 00:13:24.919 They're both fast. Their timing's good. They sell you know, it's just 170 00:13:24.120 --> 00:13:31.039 it's they're good. But yeah, they they get in there and they have 171 00:13:31.080 --> 00:13:35.759 a good match. Blade ends up winning the match. But it's uh, 172 00:13:35.799 --> 00:13:39.799 it's really uh it's it's kind of fruitless because they were it was a close 173 00:13:39.879 --> 00:13:43.039 match and I could see either one pulling it out. But yeah, on 174 00:13:43.159 --> 00:13:46.200 this one they let Blade have it. And uh of course after that, 175 00:13:46.360 --> 00:13:50.919 you know, it seems like they're gonna get along, and I think it's 176 00:13:50.080 --> 00:13:54.919 enough. He knows uh Blade's birthday. Uh, so they're all happy about 177 00:13:56.039 --> 00:14:01.720 that. But then but then you have book a Ta Book of t has 178 00:14:01.759 --> 00:14:05.440 to get up and he's got to go into a gold rush. Uh talking 179 00:14:05.480 --> 00:14:09.120 about a a what is it a three way or a four way? Uh, 180 00:14:09.320 --> 00:14:16.039 opportunity to see who will get a chance at the at the Gallus Brothers 181 00:14:16.080 --> 00:14:20.480 for for the Belts. So they've got all of these guys in the ring, 182 00:14:20.799 --> 00:14:24.559 whether they got three tag teams in the ring. And then they've got 183 00:14:24.679 --> 00:14:31.039 uh Roberto and guys are up in the muffet skybox. I call it um 184 00:14:31.080 --> 00:14:33.799 looking down, but uh, the guys in the rings start throwing down. 185 00:14:33.919 --> 00:14:37.039 So that's how they go to a commercial break. You know, it wasn't 186 00:14:37.039 --> 00:14:41.679 bad. It's not too you know, not no bad riding there. Uh 187 00:14:41.879 --> 00:14:45.840 you know, book or T actually almost fumbled but he didn't. Uh you 188 00:14:45.879 --> 00:14:48.679 know, but that segment was pretty good. Uh. And then they've got 189 00:14:48.879 --> 00:14:54.960 Damon Kemp. Of course you saw that this was coming when he had his 190 00:14:54.960 --> 00:14:58.360 foot on the ropes last time he fought uh Eddie Thorpe, And yeah, 191 00:14:58.440 --> 00:15:01.639 that's what he he's bringing up now with the refs, how he got screwed 192 00:15:01.840 --> 00:15:07.480 and challenging in the reffs and how idiots they were. But Eddie Thorpe shows 193 00:15:07.559 --> 00:15:15.039 up, the modern day Wahoo McDaniel, the modern day aka Chief Ja Strongbowl. 194 00:15:15.879 --> 00:15:20.120 But he shows up with his modern Native American self and pretty much says 195 00:15:20.159 --> 00:15:26.080 he didn't care. He'll fight him again. And Damon keeps hollering about cheap 196 00:15:26.200 --> 00:15:30.759 victories and everything. So but you know where they're going with that. Um, 197 00:15:31.320 --> 00:15:33.600 let me see right after that, you got Blair Davenport. There's they 198 00:15:33.679 --> 00:15:39.000 do a good little promo on her, nothing nothing too spectacular, about a 199 00:15:39.039 --> 00:15:41.799 minute and a half promo, but you know it's given us a little more 200 00:15:41.840 --> 00:15:46.679 insight to her. She can speak pretty good. Uh we know what she 201 00:15:46.759 --> 00:15:50.120 can do in the ring, so I can see where they're gonna go with 202 00:15:50.159 --> 00:15:52.840 that. You know, they had her running around for a while under a 203 00:15:52.919 --> 00:15:58.440 mask and in a hoodie whatever, so uh yeah, they're gonna go with 204 00:15:58.480 --> 00:16:03.440 that angle there, because right after that, you've got Roxanne Perez and and 205 00:16:03.600 --> 00:16:08.080 Tatum Paxley going at it. And uh, Roxanne, you know, I 206 00:16:08.200 --> 00:16:11.759 have to say every time I see her, you know, I hate to 207 00:16:11.840 --> 00:16:14.679 keep her, you know, me saying the same thing, but she is 208 00:16:15.039 --> 00:16:18.399 definitely gotten better in her and her moves and her timings. I mean, 209 00:16:18.679 --> 00:16:22.840 and and Tatum Paxley. For a while, I was kind of tossing her 210 00:16:22.879 --> 00:16:26.240 around, but then you know, the technical side of rock sand takes over 211 00:16:26.320 --> 00:16:30.799 and and she's going to end up winning the match. But um, it 212 00:16:30.960 --> 00:16:34.039 wasn't bad. Wasn't a bad match at all. Um, you know, 213 00:16:34.840 --> 00:16:38.320 Roxanne, I wasn't not on the Roxande train. I'm still not on the 214 00:16:38.360 --> 00:16:42.879 train, but I'm at least getting closer to the station. But after that, 215 00:16:44.000 --> 00:16:45.759 you know, they give her the stick, they give her the mic, 216 00:16:45.399 --> 00:16:51.639 and of course she goes off and says that she wants uh Blair, 217 00:16:51.759 --> 00:16:56.080 but her mic skills still need a little work, need a little work. 218 00:16:56.159 --> 00:16:57.960 She got to look just you know where she was standing in the camera all 219 00:16:59.080 --> 00:17:03.400 mad. But you know he needs to work a little bit on that, 220 00:17:03.680 --> 00:17:07.359 and that'll come with time. That'll come with time, without a doubt. 221 00:17:08.640 --> 00:17:12.000 But yeah, man, that all those matches were pretty good. Right now, 222 00:17:12.000 --> 00:17:18.200 we're getting ready for pretty much the U you know, yeah, the 223 00:17:18.359 --> 00:17:23.720 end of it, which is bearing Corbin going against drugging off. And I 224 00:17:23.880 --> 00:17:30.599 got to say I was surprised, h This match was really really good. 225 00:17:30.519 --> 00:17:36.200 Um. And first of all, I did not know that Corbin had so 226 00:17:36.319 --> 00:17:40.160 much ink done on his legs. Man, I guess I've never paid attention. 227 00:17:40.799 --> 00:17:44.519 And he was in shorts where you could see. But whoever's been doing 228 00:17:44.559 --> 00:17:51.599 his ink work has made a fortune. He has some good artwork all over 229 00:17:51.640 --> 00:17:53.880 him. So somebody's making some money. Corban's making some money to be able 230 00:17:53.880 --> 00:17:57.720 to afford all that. But in the match, man, uh, they 231 00:17:57.759 --> 00:18:02.279 do a lot of classic kind of moves. Uh you know, um, 232 00:18:02.519 --> 00:18:06.400 you know, big chops. You know, one time dragging Off like rips 233 00:18:06.440 --> 00:18:11.240 Corbin shirt off and starts in on his chest, you know. And uh, 234 00:18:11.279 --> 00:18:15.440 I mean it's pretty dog gone good match, you know inside and outside 235 00:18:15.480 --> 00:18:21.039 the ring. Uh, you know, everything looked good. Even look they 236 00:18:21.039 --> 00:18:25.240 had a couple of slip ups or a little mess ups, and uh they 237 00:18:25.319 --> 00:18:27.359 even covered them up to where it looked good. There was there was one 238 00:18:27.359 --> 00:18:32.359 time outside the ring, and I could be wrong, this could have been 239 00:18:32.400 --> 00:18:36.839 a set move, but uh, it looked like he was gonna throw Baron 240 00:18:36.920 --> 00:18:41.359 was gonna throw dragging Off back into the up under the bottom rope, and 241 00:18:41.480 --> 00:18:44.720 uh, dragging Off slipped a little bit. So he just went with this 242 00:18:44.880 --> 00:18:48.039 slip and went right into the side of the ring, which made a kind 243 00:18:48.039 --> 00:18:53.279 of a big noise there inside. So it sounded and then looked looked really 244 00:18:53.319 --> 00:18:57.599 good. Man. I you know, I kept wanting to when I when 245 00:18:57.640 --> 00:19:03.759 I don't know if it's just me being kind of a little uh uh maybe 246 00:19:03.119 --> 00:19:08.000 uh just leaning a little towards any time I hear Baron Corban, I'm just 247 00:19:08.079 --> 00:19:12.039 not exciting. Uh, you know, it's just not as as and it 248 00:19:12.079 --> 00:19:15.799 should be. Man, he's a big guy, uh, athletic. You 249 00:19:15.799 --> 00:19:18.720 know, they should be doing something. He should be in a you know, 250 00:19:18.839 --> 00:19:25.000 in a good card or in a storyline. But normally it just, 251 00:19:25.400 --> 00:19:27.880 you know, it just doesn't attract my attention. But man, uh, 252 00:19:29.079 --> 00:19:32.680 anytime you put dragging off in in with it, you know you're going to 253 00:19:32.759 --> 00:19:37.160 have a good match. But in this particular match, they they tore it 254 00:19:37.240 --> 00:19:42.279 up. Uh, Corbin like hiptosses dragging off over the top and dragging off 255 00:19:42.519 --> 00:19:47.279 sells it. I mean, this is definitely a match worth going back and 256 00:19:47.319 --> 00:19:52.279 watch of the opening match was schism good match. Uh, you know, 257 00:19:52.880 --> 00:19:56.759 I can't say anything. It's just those two they sandwiched in between. But 258 00:19:59.200 --> 00:20:02.119 yeah, it has what it is. But uh yeah, like in this 259 00:20:02.160 --> 00:20:06.759 match, though they said they both look great, Uh, Corbin ends up 260 00:20:06.799 --> 00:20:11.839 winning this um and you know it's got to be a screw job. They 261 00:20:11.880 --> 00:20:17.480 gotta that's the way it's got to be for Corbin to win. Uh. 262 00:20:17.480 --> 00:20:22.240 And and it is. But you know, you get you get a good 263 00:20:22.799 --> 00:20:26.359 i don't know, maybe seven minutes or eight minutes of good action and then 264 00:20:26.480 --> 00:20:32.319 then you go back into some storyline where after the match you've got to Uh, 265 00:20:32.400 --> 00:20:36.599 let me say, you've got to dragging off and and Baron, Oh, 266 00:20:36.680 --> 00:20:42.319 Baron gets I'm sorry, Baron Umu Braun Braun comes in and gets involved 267 00:20:42.319 --> 00:20:48.039 in this match and he gets speared for it. But that leads into after 268 00:20:48.079 --> 00:20:52.480 the match when dragging Off is pinned. Of course he is going after Braun 269 00:20:53.519 --> 00:21:00.599 uh and Baron with these all these bees Braun Baron. Uh oh, that's 270 00:21:00.640 --> 00:21:06.799 kind of confusing me, man. But yeah, so uh Braun and dragging 271 00:21:06.839 --> 00:21:10.559 Off of course lead up the ramp and they're head non out, they're fighting, 272 00:21:11.119 --> 00:21:14.720 and uh, they're they've got Baron standing in there, so of course 273 00:21:15.200 --> 00:21:18.200 Mellow now we're getting him in there at least. But Mellow shows up. 274 00:21:18.240 --> 00:21:22.759 So Mellow of course you know, he doesn't miss. Uh, So they 275 00:21:22.880 --> 00:21:26.599 get him in there and he throws down on Baron and that's pretty much how 276 00:21:26.599 --> 00:21:30.880 they're going to end the show. And uh, you know, it wasn't 277 00:21:30.920 --> 00:21:33.680 bad. It wasn't bad at all. Um. They're they're setting up for 278 00:21:33.920 --> 00:21:38.960 a gold rush, of course with all these stars coming in and uh and 279 00:21:40.000 --> 00:21:42.680 hopefully some of these younger people, some of these younger guys and gals on 280 00:21:44.279 --> 00:21:48.640 NXT will shine while they have a chance at the spotlight. Uh, that's 281 00:21:48.799 --> 00:21:52.119 who we're gonna you know, see who steps up, because anybody can. 282 00:21:52.640 --> 00:21:56.799 I'm sure. I mean just being on NXT is big. I mean that's 283 00:21:56.839 --> 00:22:00.480 big. But you know when you're bringing in talent like Rawlins and you know, 284 00:22:00.559 --> 00:22:06.240 I mean it's you're you're you're getting your chance, You're getting it. 285 00:22:06.359 --> 00:22:08.680 You can you know, you can take yourself, you know, straight to 286 00:22:08.759 --> 00:22:14.559 the moon as uh as someone we know says, uh, you can do 287 00:22:14.599 --> 00:22:21.279 it all with in showcase your talent, or or you can screw it all 288 00:22:21.359 --> 00:22:25.359 up, you know. So uh you know that's that's that's where we're at 289 00:22:25.400 --> 00:22:30.160 on that one. So uh. And also this week we lost the Iron 290 00:22:30.559 --> 00:22:36.119 Cheek and uh I grew up with Iron Cheek. They brought him into the 291 00:22:36.119 --> 00:22:40.720 Memphis territory uh in an early stage to get him ready for some of the 292 00:22:40.759 --> 00:22:44.759 big time and uh man, he was good. He was good. He 293 00:22:44.839 --> 00:22:48.279 had it. Uh, he had it so good in Memphis, had the 294 00:22:48.279 --> 00:22:52.000 crowd so hating him so bad that they had to bring police in at certain 295 00:22:52.039 --> 00:22:56.640 times because people had called the TV station and said, you know, me 296 00:22:56.759 --> 00:23:02.240 and Bubba are bringing our good down there, and we're gonna kill us an 297 00:23:02.240 --> 00:23:07.000 iron cheek and uh, yeah, so they I mean it was uh, 298 00:23:07.079 --> 00:23:11.119 he was utter chaos when he was in the ring.
