WEBVTT 1 00:00:02.799 --> 00:00:07.679 This is w w E superstar Drew McIntyre, and you're listening to the WWE 2 00:00:07.839 --> 00:00:26.160 podcast show, the one that everybody wants me to start twenty sixteen says just 3 00:00:26.399 --> 00:00:33.159 clift your ass. This mad You're gonna like Mala Train. Hey guys, 4 00:00:33.159 --> 00:00:38.079 welcome to the WWE podcast mail Bag. It is actually Thursday, doing this 5 00:00:38.079 --> 00:00:42.520 a little late July twenty seventh, twenty twenty three, as we are going 6 00:00:42.600 --> 00:00:46.759 to get to the mailbag one second, but I want to welcome a brand 7 00:00:46.759 --> 00:00:51.439 new patron, Anthony Cappella. Welcome to Welcome to the family man, Welcome 8 00:00:51.479 --> 00:00:55.759 to the ad free experience, and a whole lot more on the SmackDown tier. 9 00:00:55.799 --> 00:00:59.920 I hope you enjoy everything you can now. Also listen to the exclusive 10 00:01:00.039 --> 00:01:04.799 podcast that was done a week or two ago with Just Incredible and we got 11 00:01:04.799 --> 00:01:11.200 some really funny and memorable road stories with Michael Gross myself that that that did 12 00:01:11.239 --> 00:01:15.719 that and it was a lot of fun. So check that out and we're 13 00:01:15.719 --> 00:01:19.599 gonna get too. Let's get to the emails. Let's get to the emails 14 00:01:19.799 --> 00:01:26.879 right now, and let's start. Let's start with Rocky t I think we're 15 00:01:26.879 --> 00:01:30.640 gonna start with Rocky Tum he's checking in once again. He's got a next 16 00:01:30.640 --> 00:01:36.680 week Raw review reminder. Thank you, Rocky, thank you. I'm very 17 00:01:36.680 --> 00:01:40.280 glad you did that, because again I did not remember. So Rocky T 18 00:01:40.480 --> 00:01:45.319 will be conducting the Raw review with me next week. There there you go. 19 00:01:45.719 --> 00:01:52.760 Roxann Perez update. So think Booker t Stone Cold supermarket brawl. Blair 20 00:01:52.840 --> 00:01:57.159 Davenport enters a small corner store and Roxanne attacks from behind as she enters the 21 00:01:57.200 --> 00:02:01.159 store. Now this was short and sweet, nowhere near the classic of Austin 22 00:02:01.200 --> 00:02:05.200 and Booker, but I can appreciate the effort from the two ladies. We 23 00:02:05.239 --> 00:02:08.680 finally get the one on one match between Roxanne and Blair at the Great American 24 00:02:08.680 --> 00:02:14.159 Bash and a weapons wild match. A couple of thoughts here, Now, 25 00:02:14.199 --> 00:02:16.400 I didn't see this rocket tea. Thank you for the Roxan Perez update. 26 00:02:16.479 --> 00:02:22.080 By the way, looking forward to our Raw review. Why are their cameras 27 00:02:23.039 --> 00:02:28.000 filming a wrestler in a store? Now you can apply this logic to Austin 28 00:02:28.080 --> 00:02:30.639 and Booker as well. You know, you have to kind of transplant your 29 00:02:30.639 --> 00:02:38.639 brain out of your body into some you know, random amorphous place to be 30 00:02:38.759 --> 00:02:44.639 able to accept this. But why there are actual cameras in a store following 31 00:02:44.639 --> 00:02:47.400 a wrestler doesn't make any sense. But this is This is still fun. 32 00:02:47.439 --> 00:02:53.879 Whenever this happens, if it happens sparingly, it's still fun. And the 33 00:02:53.960 --> 00:02:57.280 weapons wild Match, I'm going to assume that this is also just another fancy 34 00:02:57.360 --> 00:03:00.120 way, just like the tribal combat, just a fancy way of saying no 35 00:03:00.199 --> 00:03:05.960 DQ. Maybe they'll be extra weapons, but no DQ. Yeah, so 36 00:03:06.280 --> 00:03:08.439 I'm fine with the branding. It's marketing. I understand it. So cool 37 00:03:08.479 --> 00:03:15.960 stuff. Thanks Rocky. Alrighty, next up on the list, here we 38 00:03:15.080 --> 00:03:20.879 have let's get to Chandler and he says, sending this in the middle of 39 00:03:20.879 --> 00:03:23.000 work, so my brain is fried and I can't think of a clever opening, 40 00:03:23.039 --> 00:03:27.680 so let's just get to it. I want to start with something that's 41 00:03:27.680 --> 00:03:30.599 been on my mind since Monday. The Logan Paul and Ricochet promos have not 42 00:03:30.759 --> 00:03:35.280 been very good. It's just them saying third grade insults at each other and 43 00:03:35.360 --> 00:03:38.879 expecting to people to pop for it. And two weeks ago, Logan Paul 44 00:03:38.919 --> 00:03:43.360 said I'm not a social media star. Well I think he said YouTube star, 45 00:03:43.520 --> 00:03:46.159 but yeah, and then proceeds to tell some guying the crowd he's gonna 46 00:03:46.159 --> 00:03:53.400 make him famous while filming them. Yeah, that's a good point. Excuse 47 00:03:53.439 --> 00:03:55.879 me. I think that's the kind of thing that's gonna come with time with 48 00:03:55.919 --> 00:04:01.439 Logan Paul. And to be fair, cutting promo in some respects is more 49 00:04:01.479 --> 00:04:04.599 difficult than what happens in the ring, and what you do in the ring 50 00:04:05.840 --> 00:04:11.080 promos are not easy. You're live. Logan Paul does not have a whole 51 00:04:11.080 --> 00:04:15.680 lot of experience in ww with live promos, so I'll give him a pass. 52 00:04:15.720 --> 00:04:18.959 And also Ricochet, who, by the same token, even though he's 53 00:04:18.959 --> 00:04:25.160 been in WWE much longer and had infinitely more matches than Logan Paul and in 54 00:04:25.279 --> 00:04:29.040 ring live minutes, has also not had a whole lot of time in front 55 00:04:29.079 --> 00:04:32.920 of a microphone on the main roster, and so both of them I would 56 00:04:32.959 --> 00:04:39.319 say have comparable experience. Even Ricochet has been in w B much longer, 57 00:04:39.360 --> 00:04:43.920 in the ring much longer. So you know, I actually don't think they've 58 00:04:43.959 --> 00:04:46.199 been as bad as you have. I agree the insults have been very sophomoric, 59 00:04:46.319 --> 00:04:49.759 but I actually have been more invested in this program than I thought it 60 00:04:49.800 --> 00:04:54.360 would be. Okay, I love seeing Don with the title. It's so 61 00:04:54.439 --> 00:04:58.360 good. He makes it even his heat even better. But they're giving him 62 00:04:58.360 --> 00:05:01.319 the Seth treatment and having him defend the had every night against everyone, even 63 00:05:01.360 --> 00:05:06.120 if they're not an XT superstars. Yeah, but I guess the idea is 64 00:05:06.160 --> 00:05:11.480 that w W E everyone's a w W superstar, even no matter what brand 65 00:05:11.519 --> 00:05:15.279 you're on. And also an XT wasn't involved in the draft. An XT 66 00:05:15.480 --> 00:05:21.720 is this no man's land, so I will accept that because an XT is 67 00:05:21.759 --> 00:05:25.680 a no man's land. Now, I don't want an XT. I don't 68 00:05:25.680 --> 00:05:29.839 want a DOM showing up on SmackDown that doesn't give him free rein because he's 69 00:05:29.879 --> 00:05:33.600 in an XT North American Championship up on SmackDown. That is inexcusable. I 70 00:05:33.639 --> 00:05:38.000 don't like that. This is where no one expects. No one says anything, 71 00:05:38.079 --> 00:05:40.879 the announcers don't say anything, fans don't seem to care, Oh well 72 00:05:40.879 --> 00:05:44.600 we got we got a cool match. It's I am a very big proponent 73 00:05:44.600 --> 00:05:46.680 of sticking to the brand rules. Most people aren't that, you know, 74 00:05:48.199 --> 00:05:53.920 I guess outraged about it, but that's how I feel. Cody and Brock 75 00:05:54.040 --> 00:05:57.439 needs a stipulation. It can't just be a regular match. They've built this 76 00:05:57.560 --> 00:06:00.720 for four months and Brock hasn't said a word. We need something to make 77 00:06:00.720 --> 00:06:03.279 this exciting. I wouldn't hold you about Chandler. I've been screaming about this 78 00:06:03.360 --> 00:06:08.879 since May that we brock Lesser is more than capable of just giving us a 79 00:06:08.879 --> 00:06:12.959 reason. Rather creative is more than capable of using Brock to give us a 80 00:06:12.959 --> 00:06:19.040 reason. I know that they're leaning on Cody to cover both guys promos side 81 00:06:19.040 --> 00:06:24.800 of things, and they've speculated on reasons. Brock Lesser has his own voice. 82 00:06:24.800 --> 00:06:28.000 We can hear why. At this point, they're at the tail end, 83 00:06:28.040 --> 00:06:30.560 at the very culmination and completion of this program, we're not going to 84 00:06:30.600 --> 00:06:35.160 get a reason. But I agree with the stipulation. The stipulation, there 85 00:06:35.160 --> 00:06:39.639 needs to be something, you know, there needs to be something involved in 86 00:06:39.680 --> 00:06:45.240 this. With a stipulation, this is built to a point where it feels 87 00:06:45.240 --> 00:06:50.279 like WrestleMania. I forget what it was, WrestleMania twenty three, maybe twenty 88 00:06:50.279 --> 00:06:55.000 two with Randy Orton and Triple H and they were beating the hell out of 89 00:06:55.000 --> 00:06:59.560 each other, invading each other's homes and the match ended up being a regular 90 00:06:59.560 --> 00:07:02.720 wrestling match. You can't do that. This can't be a regular wrestling match. 91 00:07:03.560 --> 00:07:08.199 But no reason is insulting. I mean, I don't know how more 92 00:07:08.319 --> 00:07:12.600 more fans aren't, yeah, saying something about this. They give we a 93 00:07:12.639 --> 00:07:15.920 pass because all star power. It's Brock who cares. No, no one's 94 00:07:15.959 --> 00:07:23.959 immune to basic story telling, reason and logic. Nobody all Right, I'm 95 00:07:23.959 --> 00:07:27.399 sensing a triple threat between Sinsky, Bronson and Champa. I like the idea 96 00:07:27.439 --> 00:07:30.439 of a triple threat that's not for the title. Yeah, but I'm with 97 00:07:30.480 --> 00:07:32.800 you, totally with you. W W wouldn't look at this as a pay 98 00:07:32.839 --> 00:07:38.600 per view a pay per view worthy matchup, and especially if nothing's on the 99 00:07:38.639 --> 00:07:43.040 line, they would put something on the line. It wouldn't just be a 100 00:07:43.120 --> 00:07:46.480 random triple threat for Pride, even though I would be okay with that. 101 00:07:46.639 --> 00:07:49.959 Not everything needs to have a stipulation and everything can just be about winning and 102 00:07:50.319 --> 00:07:55.040 trying to get yourself to that next level. But w WE sometimes doesn't value 103 00:07:55.120 --> 00:08:00.879 winning like they do with special stipulations. So roda and is very weird. 104 00:08:01.120 --> 00:08:03.879 It seems like there's not a healing face. Yeah. I've been saying that 105 00:08:03.920 --> 00:08:07.800 a lot of fans have been saying that. I think they've landed on Shana 106 00:08:07.920 --> 00:08:11.519 being a quasi baby face at least She's the closest thing to a baby face 107 00:08:11.560 --> 00:08:15.360 that they have in this match. So I'm leaning Shana. The crowd has, 108 00:08:15.399 --> 00:08:20.120 I guess, anointed her as the more sympathetic character, even though Shane 109 00:08:20.199 --> 00:08:26.000 is the one that attacked Ronda. I would agree. Yeah, it's very 110 00:08:26.040 --> 00:08:31.040 weird, and I don't think this is going more than SummerSlam. I have 111 00:08:31.040 --> 00:08:33.919 a feeling Shotsy's new character is gonna be good, but it seems like a 112 00:08:33.960 --> 00:08:37.639 story. Bray Wyatt would write, that's it for this week. I mean, 113 00:08:37.679 --> 00:08:41.759 who knows. It just means she's going through her transition and she her 114 00:08:41.799 --> 00:08:48.960 look is going to be new and rebranded and no more ridiculous power wheels taking 115 00:08:50.000 --> 00:08:52.120 care of business. Tank you know that, Shoots, I don't know, 116 00:08:52.559 --> 00:08:58.360 rubber balls or T shirts or whatever the hell I mean. So that's one 117 00:08:58.399 --> 00:09:03.720 good thing. Thanks Chandler. All right, I know we did have a 118 00:09:03.759 --> 00:09:11.480 patron another patron here. Let me dig that up here we have I believe 119 00:09:11.559 --> 00:09:16.120 it is doctor No, I got that wrong. It is Cam. That's 120 00:09:16.159 --> 00:09:18.960 who it is. Cam. Let's see what he says. Cam says, 121 00:09:20.000 --> 00:09:24.039 don't know if you saw, but right when Becky was coming out on Raw, 122 00:09:24.519 --> 00:09:26.759 there was a gentleman in the crowd with a sign that read Cody change 123 00:09:26.759 --> 00:09:31.879 your catchphrase. Man? It was gold. No I did not see this, 124 00:09:35.799 --> 00:09:37.840 Oh no, I did not. Who is that man? Can we 125 00:09:37.879 --> 00:09:41.799 find it? Can we put a bounty on him? In a good way 126 00:09:41.919 --> 00:09:46.240 where I mean, rather, there's a reward, not a bounty. We'll 127 00:09:46.440 --> 00:09:50.360 put a reward out there. I'll put a reward out there for someone to 128 00:09:50.639 --> 00:09:54.759 someone who identified this man. Please. Maybe he's a fan of the show. 129 00:09:54.879 --> 00:09:56.320 I hear no one else complaining about it, so it could be an 130 00:09:56.320 --> 00:10:01.279 actual listener of the show. I mean, I literally hear no one else 131 00:10:01.320 --> 00:10:03.960 talking about this. But I don't know. I'm not some kind of pioneer. 132 00:10:05.080 --> 00:10:11.039 However, it has been a very very very scantily talked about topic. 133 00:10:13.120 --> 00:10:16.440 Very good. I'm gonna now look for this, thank you cam. Important 134 00:10:16.480 --> 00:10:20.000 stuff here on the W podcast. I mean, life changing stuff we're talking 135 00:10:20.000 --> 00:10:26.159 about now. All right, let's get back to the emails and we're gonna 136 00:10:26.159 --> 00:10:31.960 go to DJ Kuzmo and he says, hey, hello, ww podcast and 137 00:10:33.080 --> 00:10:37.320 aw podcast world. This is Djkuzmo. He's back at it again on our 138 00:10:37.360 --> 00:10:43.919 mail bag with only one week away one week till Summer Slam Wow. It 139 00:10:43.000 --> 00:10:46.879 was like as if money the bank was last week and we're not heading towards 140 00:10:46.919 --> 00:10:50.960 another plle. I agree. I told you this is insanely. This is 141 00:10:50.960 --> 00:10:52.559 how fast the summer goes is self fast, our life goes. Guys, 142 00:10:52.720 --> 00:10:56.200 It's crazy, right. Who would have thought that Judgment Day in twenty twenty 143 00:10:56.200 --> 00:11:01.519 three would be this relevant and consistent week after week. I really thought when 144 00:11:01.159 --> 00:11:03.799 the group turned on Edge back in twenty twenty two that it would be the 145 00:11:03.960 --> 00:11:09.000 end of the Judgment Day and that the group might eventually split up. Anyway, 146 00:11:09.039 --> 00:11:11.080 fast forward this year and they have been the main theme on Raw for 147 00:11:11.120 --> 00:11:16.000 many months. They're also appearing regularly on an XT since Sturdy Dom won the 148 00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:20.399 North American Championship, and the group seems to be more united after Damien and 149 00:11:20.399 --> 00:11:24.399 Finn put their differences aside after that Tea split, which almost happened. I 150 00:11:24.399 --> 00:11:28.720 wouldn't be so sure there, Dj. You know that's the idea is to 151 00:11:28.720 --> 00:11:31.320 make it look like all as well, right, they did the same thing 152 00:11:31.320 --> 00:11:35.279 in the Bloodline. I do not think all as well with Finn and Damien, 153 00:11:35.639 --> 00:11:39.320 and I also agree that the Judgment Day in twenty twenty two, when 154 00:11:39.440 --> 00:11:43.279 Edge was ousted and I complained about it, and I still to this day 155 00:11:43.279 --> 00:11:46.080 still do believe they did not get all to tread on the tire with Edge 156 00:11:46.080 --> 00:11:50.519 at the helm on the group, But it is in a much better position 157 00:11:50.559 --> 00:11:54.159 than we any of us thought it could be. Anyway, I'm still thinking 158 00:11:54.159 --> 00:11:58.080 that Finn will turn baby face. He might be replaced with someone else. 159 00:11:58.480 --> 00:12:01.000 But in the meantime, the Judgment Day have been really good to watch on 160 00:12:01.080 --> 00:12:07.720 RON and XT interesting to see the creative direction for this group at or after 161 00:12:07.840 --> 00:12:11.519 SummerSlam because it seems they will be Sammy and Kao's next opponents for the Tag 162 00:12:11.519 --> 00:12:16.200 Team Belts. Yeah, but come on, DJ, I'm advocating from the 163 00:12:16.279 --> 00:12:20.200 Indu Shear to attack Sammy and Kevin. I agree that it could be. 164 00:12:20.480 --> 00:12:24.679 It could be the Judgment Day continuing to feud with Sammy and Kao. But 165 00:12:24.759 --> 00:12:30.159 I'm ready for the end of Sheer. Yeah, That's what I'm ready for. 166 00:12:31.360 --> 00:12:33.559 I'm advocating for your guys. Man. By the way, I don't 167 00:12:33.559 --> 00:12:37.399 know if you saw the fan sign that said Eddie is your real dad this 168 00:12:37.759 --> 00:12:43.399 Raw Monday Night on Raw, because I remember seeing that exact same sign from 169 00:12:43.440 --> 00:12:46.639 months past when Dirty Dom was about to get hit with the glamazon from Beth 170 00:12:46.720 --> 00:12:52.080 Phoenix, and that same fan sign was perfectly placed behind Dirty dom head Dirty 171 00:12:52.120 --> 00:12:56.360 Dom's head Good times anyway, DJ Cousmo is signing off. All right, 172 00:12:58.440 --> 00:13:01.720 So I did not see the sign. You guys pay at tension to fan 173 00:13:01.759 --> 00:13:05.159 signs way more than I do. And that's you know, credit to you 174 00:13:05.200 --> 00:13:07.840 guys. And Eddie is your real dad. That's that's a yeah, that's 175 00:13:07.879 --> 00:13:13.399 a sign that has actually been out there for about twenty years. So, 176 00:13:13.440 --> 00:13:16.639 I mean, since the whole story on SmackDown with the custody of Dom, 177 00:13:16.960 --> 00:13:22.000 it's literally a twenty year old sign. It's still going. I love it. 178 00:13:22.080 --> 00:13:24.240 I love it. All right, thanks DJ, We will get to 179 00:13:24.279 --> 00:13:30.080 your vir. Mahan reports shortly. All righty, what who else we got? 180 00:13:30.159 --> 00:13:31.639 Let's get to Mason and he says, let me talk to you. 181 00:13:33.759 --> 00:13:37.559 So I was thinking that the way they could turn Roman reigns baby face when 182 00:13:37.559 --> 00:13:41.919 they actually do is that Solo betrays him. Eventually he loses the title, 183 00:13:41.919 --> 00:13:45.840 he hits rock bottom. I guess that's a pun. And then Randy Orton 184 00:13:45.879 --> 00:13:50.000 comes looking for revenge for what the Bloodline did to him last year. Well, 185 00:13:52.600 --> 00:13:56.879 you want to strike when Randy Orton's a baby face and M and H 186 00:13:56.799 --> 00:14:01.159 and Roman reigns is the heel, and if the rock doesn't show up, 187 00:14:01.159 --> 00:14:03.639 I will say I think Randy Orton might attack Roman at the end of the 188 00:14:03.639 --> 00:14:09.279 show to set up Roman and Randy as the big next program. That's my 189 00:14:09.360 --> 00:14:15.879 guess. But again, with Solo betraying Roman, people are ready to cheer 190 00:14:15.919 --> 00:14:18.159 Solo. It's gonna be difficult to do the other way around. But Roman 191 00:14:18.240 --> 00:14:22.559 does have to hit rock bottom. He does have to go through some sympathetic 192 00:14:22.600 --> 00:14:26.360 times. And it's been a while now. We've been booing Roman rains for 193 00:14:26.399 --> 00:14:30.799 three years. We've had our time. I think you could get another year 194 00:14:30.840 --> 00:14:33.759 out of it before you finally turn him baby face. And he will be 195 00:14:33.799 --> 00:14:37.360 a mega baby face by the way, And yeah, and the bloodline, 196 00:14:37.360 --> 00:14:41.279 I'm telling you will be a baby face. When they reunite, they will 197 00:14:41.320 --> 00:14:46.399 be a massive baby face group. So they're just gonna have to have a 198 00:14:46.440 --> 00:14:50.240 massive heel faction to counter them. So that's also gonna have to be something 199 00:14:50.279 --> 00:14:54.080 they think about. Who that is all right? About La Night not winning 200 00:14:54.080 --> 00:14:56.960 the AS Invitational, I really hate it, but I can see where they're 201 00:14:56.960 --> 00:15:03.240 going with the LWO storyline. And if Santo Sascovar does beat theory, then 202 00:15:03.320 --> 00:15:05.919 la I could attack Santos after the match or something like that. Yeah, 203 00:15:05.919 --> 00:15:11.279 it could be, but I think that they have bigger aspirations for l a 204 00:15:11.320 --> 00:15:13.440 Night. If they're telling us he's not going to be mister money in the 205 00:15:13.480 --> 00:15:18.279 bank, he's not going to be US Champion, well then where is he 206 00:15:18.360 --> 00:15:22.120 going? And there's no other title to fight to focus on on raw or 207 00:15:22.200 --> 00:15:30.200 rather SmackDown except for the undisputed championship around the waste of Roman reigns and presumably 208 00:15:30.240 --> 00:15:35.159 will remain around the waste of Roman reigns post SummerSlam. I don't know, 209 00:15:35.240 --> 00:15:39.559 are they you know, if your theory doesn't pan out and he actually is 210 00:15:39.679 --> 00:15:43.240 in the world the US title picture and he still could be, then where 211 00:15:43.240 --> 00:15:46.519 do they do with l An I Just have him continue to come out and 212 00:15:46.519 --> 00:15:48.480 get big pops and then lose. See That's why I've said it's not a 213 00:15:48.559 --> 00:15:54.919 sustainable It's not a sustainable strategy. All right, Now for this week's question, 214 00:15:54.240 --> 00:15:58.600 what is the most painful thing you've seen happen on w w E programming? 215 00:15:58.879 --> 00:16:03.080 That's all, Oh good, great question. I mean a couple off 216 00:16:03.080 --> 00:16:06.320 the top, I have without doing any kind of research. I mean the 217 00:16:06.480 --> 00:16:11.600 Undertaker diving over the top rope at WrestleMania twenty five and nearly breaking his neck. 218 00:16:11.279 --> 00:16:17.799 That comes to mind, current angle getting pedigreed on the concrete floor in 219 00:16:17.960 --> 00:16:22.039 two thousand, I think it was in a match against Triple H and getting 220 00:16:22.120 --> 00:16:26.240 knocked out Austin. Of course, you know, getting the infamous pile driver 221 00:16:26.360 --> 00:16:30.600 by Owen Hart and Summer Slam of nineteen ninety seven. Those are just a 222 00:16:30.600 --> 00:16:34.320 few that come to mind. Of course, many others. You know how 223 00:16:34.320 --> 00:16:38.240 many bloody noses and bloody faces that we've seen throughout the years. But done? 224 00:16:38.360 --> 00:16:41.360 Yeah, great question. I'd like to pose that to the rest of 225 00:16:41.360 --> 00:16:45.480 the listeners and ask what is the most painful thing you've seen? Great stuff 226 00:16:45.480 --> 00:16:53.279 there, Mason. Let's continue with Malachi, and Maliki says, it's been 227 00:16:53.279 --> 00:16:56.559 a while since I've written in as I've been in a new relationship and she 228 00:16:56.600 --> 00:17:02.080 takes up all of my time. It's funny how some people, and we're 229 00:17:02.080 --> 00:17:06.480 all guilty of it, you know, we're we sometimes disappear off the face 230 00:17:06.480 --> 00:17:10.359 of the earth when we get a girlfriend a boyfriend, right, all right, 231 00:17:10.519 --> 00:17:12.640 But I have still been watching wrestling every week and want to give my 232 00:17:12.680 --> 00:17:17.400 thoughts and some of the things that have been happening in the women's division. 233 00:17:17.799 --> 00:17:19.480 Well, good to First of all, let me just say I thought you 234 00:17:19.519 --> 00:17:26.279 were going to say, and my girlfriend assumingly has decided not to let me 235 00:17:26.319 --> 00:17:30.720 watch wrestling wrestling, or maybe you haven't introduced her to that side of you 236 00:17:30.839 --> 00:17:33.440 yet, right, Sometimes you gotta feel it out. Now. I remember, 237 00:17:33.519 --> 00:17:37.440 I'm still the soul Bianca bel Air defender on the podcast, but it's 238 00:17:37.440 --> 00:17:41.440 hard for me, been hard for me to see her place after Summer Slam 239 00:17:41.480 --> 00:17:45.000 if she doesn't win the title back. She's too good and too much of 240 00:17:45.000 --> 00:17:48.440 a star to sit in catering, and she's, in my opinion, the 241 00:17:48.480 --> 00:17:52.680 biggest star on SmackDown not involved in the bloodline things or La night. They 242 00:17:52.720 --> 00:17:56.079 put her in a tag team and have her chase the championship. Does she 243 00:17:56.240 --> 00:17:59.880 join this Bobby Lashley street prophets thing. Does she go on to have a 244 00:18:00.079 --> 00:18:04.079 top singles non title feud, which is so rare for women. I'm just 245 00:18:04.160 --> 00:18:08.880 worried about what she does the months after, if from our August to December, 246 00:18:08.920 --> 00:18:12.720 because I fully see her becoming the first ever two time women's Rumble winner 247 00:18:14.039 --> 00:18:18.759 or first ever two women's elimination Chamber winner. Also, I'm very interested in 248 00:18:18.759 --> 00:18:23.920 the potential of this Bailey EO rivalry. I think Charlotte should tap and pin 249 00:18:25.039 --> 00:18:27.559 Oscar at SummerSlam, then EO should cash in and hold the title for a 250 00:18:27.640 --> 00:18:32.279 month to give her a little run, and then at payback you do Charlotte 251 00:18:32.319 --> 00:18:36.720 versus EO, with Bailey finally turning and costing EO the title that will have 252 00:18:36.759 --> 00:18:42.240 a Charlotte at a sixteen time championship and can lead to a good match of 253 00:18:42.319 --> 00:18:45.880 Charlotte versus Bailey versus EO down the road. All I ask is they keep 254 00:18:45.920 --> 00:18:49.400 Oscar away from the title as far as possible until they let her speak clear 255 00:18:49.400 --> 00:18:52.880 English English, like I've heard her do before in interviews. That's all I 256 00:18:52.920 --> 00:18:56.319 got. What are your thoughts? All Right, a lot of fantasy booking 257 00:18:56.359 --> 00:19:03.200 here, but I'll touch on some general consps that you mentioned the fact that 258 00:19:03.799 --> 00:19:08.720 if Bianca loses at Summer Slam, are you concerned? Well, I was, 259 00:19:08.759 --> 00:19:14.480 Actually I'm more concerned or was more concerned about her as Women's Champion prior 260 00:19:14.559 --> 00:19:18.720 to her losing the belt, when they were just trotting her out there with 261 00:19:18.799 --> 00:19:25.279 the same the same message every week, sitting at ringside, not on commentary, 262 00:19:25.759 --> 00:19:30.359 saying the same things. There was just a rinse and repeat type version 263 00:19:30.400 --> 00:19:33.960 of Bianca that I thought was damaging. That was more concerning than this. 264 00:19:34.000 --> 00:19:37.160 I mean, after Summer Slam, you could do a number of things, 265 00:19:37.240 --> 00:19:40.119 the things that you mentioned. They could have her joined the Street Profits but 266 00:19:40.839 --> 00:19:44.480 and do the Bobby Lashley thing, and obviously the relationship between montes Ford and 267 00:19:44.480 --> 00:19:48.359 Bianca bell Air. But I think honestly, Bianca bell Air but still belongs 268 00:19:48.359 --> 00:19:53.319 as a single star unless you're going to turn her heel, which again I'm 269 00:19:53.359 --> 00:19:57.720 still a big proponent of. I think they'll keep her baby face chasing the 270 00:19:57.839 --> 00:20:03.119 championship, eventually leading to a Charlotte Bianca one on one. I think that's 271 00:20:03.119 --> 00:20:07.240 where they're going. Even if Bianca doesn't win at Summer slimon I don't think 272 00:20:07.240 --> 00:20:11.119 she will. Charlotte. I think will and then you get to Bianca and 273 00:20:11.240 --> 00:20:15.279 Charlotte as a multi month program. That's probably where they're going in the short 274 00:20:15.400 --> 00:20:18.640 term. Now in the long term, and that's really hard to tell right 275 00:20:18.680 --> 00:20:25.240 now. She could be a two time Women's Rumble winner, absolutely, and 276 00:20:25.400 --> 00:20:27.920 I have no problem with that either. But the Bailey EO rivalry, we're 277 00:20:27.960 --> 00:20:30.480 waiting on it. They keep teasing it, then everything looks good, then 278 00:20:30.519 --> 00:20:33.880 teasing it, then everything looks good. It's very much akin to the finnbaler 279 00:20:34.000 --> 00:20:40.240 Damian priest rivalry that is being teased and then everything looks good. They haven't 280 00:20:40.279 --> 00:20:42.319 pulled the trigger on this yet. I think they will. I think that 281 00:20:44.359 --> 00:20:48.559 the Bailey and EO need one another because damage control, I believe is damage 282 00:20:48.559 --> 00:20:52.480 control is still a thing that they still call it damage control, I think 283 00:20:52.559 --> 00:20:56.759 they do, but no one cares about damage control as a faction. I 284 00:20:56.759 --> 00:21:03.119 mean there's literally no one that cares about them as a faction. It never 285 00:21:03.160 --> 00:21:06.519 caught on. It just didn't. And that's the way things go sometimes. 286 00:21:06.519 --> 00:21:08.200 But I think EO and Bailey is the much more interesting road to go. 287 00:21:08.839 --> 00:21:15.799 And absolutely Bailey and EO right now could be a fun rivalry. But does 288 00:21:15.799 --> 00:21:18.440 it EO cash in right Maybe you have Charlotte win and then EO cashes in 289 00:21:18.480 --> 00:21:22.359 on Charlotte. Who knows. There's a lot of places they could go here, 290 00:21:23.279 --> 00:21:26.680 but Oscar last point here. Oscar needs to stay the hell away. 291 00:21:26.720 --> 00:21:32.720 I agree, and I said this in my podcast last week and I stand 292 00:21:32.759 --> 00:21:37.000 by it. You know this is actually coming from Anthony DeMarco. I do 293 00:21:37.039 --> 00:21:45.079 agree Oscar's boring. She's boring and has been for quite some time. And 294 00:21:45.240 --> 00:21:49.200 that's not a referendum on her in ring work. Her in ring work has 295 00:21:49.440 --> 00:21:53.920 never ever been a problem. It has always been her character and the ceiling 296 00:21:53.960 --> 00:22:00.240 that she's at now is starting to become more apparent than it ever has her 297 00:22:00.240 --> 00:22:03.440 career. When you find her boring, it means you're doing the same thing. 298 00:22:03.599 --> 00:22:06.039 And I know she got a haircut and put on some new clothes, 299 00:22:06.599 --> 00:22:10.680 but it's still the same Oscar saying the same things. And her inability to 300 00:22:10.720 --> 00:22:14.799 cut a promo or WWE to let her cut a promo is more of a 301 00:22:14.839 --> 00:22:18.519 glaring problem now than it ever has been in her career. It is. 302 00:22:18.240 --> 00:22:25.279 It's a massive drawback to Oscar, massive same with Shinsakamura. If you can't 303 00:22:25.279 --> 00:22:29.880 speak to your base audience, you have a problem, plain and simple. 304 00:22:30.880 --> 00:22:38.279 So all right, thank you. Let's get to MJ from Australia, Grayson 305 00:22:38.319 --> 00:22:44.680 Waller's biggest fan, and Marcus says, I have been predicting a Judgment Day 306 00:22:45.200 --> 00:22:48.400 gold photo ops since I thought priests would win money in the bank. We 307 00:22:48.440 --> 00:22:51.640 may have had to wait one more PLI to get there, but I think 308 00:22:51.759 --> 00:22:55.960 WWE having to give have to give Finn the win for the World Heavyweight Championship 309 00:22:55.960 --> 00:23:00.599 at SummerSlam. Now that damas the North American title, it makes even more 310 00:23:00.640 --> 00:23:03.119 sense to me to allow Finn to get his revenge on Seth and end up 311 00:23:03.119 --> 00:23:07.680 with all four Judgment Day members having a prop they can back up their statement 312 00:23:07.720 --> 00:23:12.319 of quote running walk raw. Remember, we haven't seen anyone lose a men's 313 00:23:12.359 --> 00:23:17.240 world title since WrestleMania thirty eight, more than fifteen months ago, when Brock 314 00:23:17.319 --> 00:23:18.960 lost to Roman. It needs to happen, and we need to see it, 315 00:23:19.279 --> 00:23:25.039 see the pain it causes someone. This gives us the benefit of ramping 316 00:23:25.119 --> 00:23:26.880 up the tension between Finn and Priests for the cash in, but also a 317 00:23:26.920 --> 00:23:32.559 rubber match between Finn and Seth. I could also see Seth continually beaten down 318 00:23:32.640 --> 00:23:34.920 four on one as he was this week, which might bring together the four 319 00:23:36.400 --> 00:23:40.559 of Chaos, Sammy, Becky and Seth stringing this out until Survivor Series is 320 00:23:40.640 --> 00:23:42.920 some kind of four and four intergender elimination match. Boy, I really like 321 00:23:42.960 --> 00:23:45.839 that. Now. I'm usually not a big proponent of fantasy booking out, 322 00:23:45.839 --> 00:23:51.319 but you laid out something that makes total sense to me. I have been 323 00:23:51.559 --> 00:23:59.160 a big I guess, a loud voice against Seth losing only because I see 324 00:23:59.200 --> 00:24:02.680 what w WS trying to do in being the anti Roman of Seth, and 325 00:24:02.759 --> 00:24:07.880 Seth has barely had it what a couple of months. And so there is 326 00:24:07.920 --> 00:24:11.039 the argument of not really allowing Seth's title reign to breathe. You know, 327 00:24:11.079 --> 00:24:19.319 it is still relatively relatively new in the grand scheme of things, but is 328 00:24:19.359 --> 00:24:26.960 that worth the sacrifice of the judgment day all carrying gold, Finn and Damian 329 00:24:26.000 --> 00:24:30.279 are teasing a breakup. You could again have a rubber match between Finn and 330 00:24:30.319 --> 00:24:33.759 Seth at Payback and that continues. You know you're going to get a four 331 00:24:33.799 --> 00:24:41.000 star match right there. So yes, also brings Becky and Seth in or 332 00:24:41.039 --> 00:24:44.119 Becky into the whole thing with Ko and Sammy, and you have a four 333 00:24:44.160 --> 00:24:47.279 and four inner gender match. Yes, I mean, I really like this, 334 00:24:48.119 --> 00:24:52.440 I do. The thing is, what about the world are the tag 335 00:24:52.440 --> 00:24:56.240 team titles right? The undisputed tag team titles? First of all, they 336 00:24:56.279 --> 00:25:02.160 should just eliminate that down to a single championship belt physically for both men if 337 00:25:02.160 --> 00:25:03.799 they did that for all the other championships that have been united, I've been 338 00:25:03.839 --> 00:25:08.559 a big proponent of that, but also the World or they keep saying that 339 00:25:08.799 --> 00:25:15.839 the tag team championships the indisputed ones. Are they even being defended at SummerSlam, 340 00:25:15.279 --> 00:25:18.240 and then we're just going to ignore it again for another couple of months, 341 00:25:18.279 --> 00:25:22.599 Like Kao and Sammy need a tag team to defend their titles against, 342 00:25:22.640 --> 00:25:27.839 and I have been a big advocate of the indusher so separately, there may 343 00:25:27.880 --> 00:25:32.519 be the option of getting the World Heavyweight Championship on Edge one more time before 344 00:25:32.519 --> 00:25:36.799 he retires at WrestleMania forty versus Sena. I love your idea there, potentially 345 00:25:36.880 --> 00:25:40.559 revisiting briefly his feud with the Judgment Day and taking the title off either Finn 346 00:25:40.599 --> 00:25:42.720 or Priest if they still have. It much easier to story for Edge to 347 00:25:42.759 --> 00:25:45.920 win a title off of someone he has already beaten since his return than Roman. 348 00:25:47.440 --> 00:25:51.960 Yeah. Look, I have always been a big supporter of Edge and 349 00:25:52.000 --> 00:25:55.079 Sena. I've said that. I mean, I don't know how for how 350 00:25:55.119 --> 00:26:00.400 long now it just fits the narrative, But I don't like the ill being 351 00:26:00.400 --> 00:26:02.880 online against Sina. If that's the way they're going it should be just a 352 00:26:03.279 --> 00:26:06.400 just focus on the retirement, not the championship, because there's no chance of 353 00:26:06.440 --> 00:26:11.200 Seena winning the world he a championship, none. But would they give Edge 354 00:26:11.240 --> 00:26:15.160 one more run for us a few months? Maybe maybe they do. You 355 00:26:15.200 --> 00:26:19.839 know, Edge is more than capable, but I don't think that he would 356 00:26:19.880 --> 00:26:25.000 fit the fighting champion narrative because his body is aged. He's got a lot 357 00:26:25.000 --> 00:26:27.240 of miles on that body. And if he's a baby face champion, you 358 00:26:27.240 --> 00:26:32.000 know what that means in WWE world. It means you need to just always 359 00:26:32.079 --> 00:26:33.920 tell the fans you're a fighting champion and will fight anyone at any time. 360 00:26:34.160 --> 00:26:37.480 It's a bunch of nonsense, of course, and I have stated many reasons 361 00:26:37.480 --> 00:26:41.240 why I think that is a very bad thing to say for baby faces and 362 00:26:41.279 --> 00:26:45.839 for the championship moreover. But I don't I don't dislike this. I think 363 00:26:45.880 --> 00:26:49.680 that, you know, if Edgar were to return to you to someone in 364 00:26:49.720 --> 00:26:53.599 the judgment day, I don't think it should be Finn though, because Finn 365 00:26:53.640 --> 00:26:59.160 and Edge have certainly worn out there. They're welcome, but yeah, Edge 366 00:26:59.400 --> 00:27:03.400 has yet to interject himself somewhere. Finally, if Voldemort is not back for 367 00:27:03.440 --> 00:27:07.759 WrestleMania forty. You guys know who we're talking about here. The only main 368 00:27:07.799 --> 00:27:11.400 event with a big story enough and believable enough would be Roman versus Seth, 369 00:27:11.559 --> 00:27:12.799 and Seth should be the one to take it from him in my view. 370 00:27:14.200 --> 00:27:17.079 I get the view about it being a few in the future, about being 371 00:27:17.079 --> 00:27:19.400 gun through a theory, but they can take it forward for many years to 372 00:27:19.400 --> 00:27:22.279 come. Anyway, I'm fantasy booking too hard, I think. Cheers MJ. 373 00:27:22.400 --> 00:27:30.480 Well, thanks Jay. You know if Dwayne will call him, Dwayne 374 00:27:30.519 --> 00:27:33.960 will go that far does return. I still don't believe the titles should be 375 00:27:33.960 --> 00:27:37.839 on the line, but they certainly will put it on the line because it's 376 00:27:37.880 --> 00:27:45.119 a bigger match on paper. But I'm a much more believer in that whoever 377 00:27:45.200 --> 00:27:48.440 faces. If it's Seth facing Roman at Mania for the title instead of Dwayne, 378 00:27:49.160 --> 00:27:52.279 you would have a much better chance with Seth dethroning than Dwayne would, 379 00:27:52.799 --> 00:27:57.599 right, And there's a massive amount of history with Roman and Seth, massive 380 00:27:57.599 --> 00:28:03.400 amount and then Seth maybe maybe after Seth loses the belt, if he loses 381 00:28:03.400 --> 00:28:07.799 it at SummerSlam, there's a massive trade to raw later in the year, 382 00:28:07.079 --> 00:28:11.759 or Seth is traded for someone on SmackDown, and that's how Seth and Roman 383 00:28:11.880 --> 00:28:15.480 end up, you know, end up locking horns again or Seth wins the 384 00:28:15.559 --> 00:28:21.119 rumble, so you know. But there's also the La Night factor, a 385 00:28:19.920 --> 00:28:22.519 lot a lot of moving parts, a lot of moving parts. But I 386 00:28:22.559 --> 00:28:26.960 never I'm not a big theory fan to the point where I think he should 387 00:28:26.000 --> 00:28:30.440 be the one to beat Roman. Gunther is much more in that conversation for 388 00:28:30.519 --> 00:28:37.880 me. Okay, let's see, I've got another one here, and this 389 00:28:38.200 --> 00:28:41.880 is Darren. Darren says, hey, Matt Hope, all as well. 390 00:28:42.000 --> 00:28:45.920 I told you in a mailbag a while back that I've recently got into w 391 00:28:45.920 --> 00:28:48.400 WE after not watching for almost twelve years. So I wanted to ask of 392 00:28:48.440 --> 00:28:52.920 a few big moments that I missed were actually surprises or if there were rumors 393 00:28:52.160 --> 00:28:56.319 and if you predicted these? Oh wow, okay, well, now you're 394 00:28:56.359 --> 00:29:04.200 you're jogging my memory. Seth rollins cat Shin at WrestleMania, if I remember 395 00:29:04.240 --> 00:29:11.119 correctly, I didn't predict it, but I remember saying there's an outside chance. 396 00:29:11.839 --> 00:29:15.359 So I'm not gonna give myself credit retro ten years ago, but I 397 00:29:15.400 --> 00:29:22.079 will say that I did say it was a possibility. Edges returned at The 398 00:29:22.119 --> 00:29:25.799 Rumble in twenty twenty. No nobody saw that coming, which is why it 399 00:29:25.839 --> 00:29:29.079 was the pop that you heard. I mean, my god, one of 400 00:29:29.079 --> 00:29:33.119 the biggest pops in the last ten years, So no nobody knew this was 401 00:29:33.160 --> 00:29:37.359 happening. Jeff and Matt Hardy's return at wrestle Mania thirty three again can't get 402 00:29:37.400 --> 00:29:41.680 myself credit there. I knew they were in the area because I went to 403 00:29:41.799 --> 00:29:47.720 a show, a wrestling show, non WWE locally in Orlando when I was 404 00:29:47.720 --> 00:29:49.359 there for I was in person at wrestle Mania thirty three and Jeff em Matt 405 00:29:49.400 --> 00:29:53.519 Hardy showed up for an independent promotion and I was like, oh, cool, 406 00:29:53.559 --> 00:29:56.480 they're in town, and I remember saying briefly on that'd be cool. 407 00:29:56.559 --> 00:30:00.279 They showed up, and I didn't. I didn't actually think they would ever 408 00:30:00.440 --> 00:30:03.119 thought it was going to happen, you know, when I was at the 409 00:30:03.160 --> 00:30:08.279 show. However, I really hate this moment, and only because selfishly it 410 00:30:08.319 --> 00:30:14.319 was the only moment throughout the entire pay per view that I decided to go 411 00:30:14.359 --> 00:30:17.279 get a T shirt and leave my seat. It was during the tag team 412 00:30:17.559 --> 00:30:18.839 introductions. I was like, all right, I'm gonna I'm gonna go get 413 00:30:19.279 --> 00:30:23.920 a T shirt. And while I'm down in line waiting for a T shirt, 414 00:30:25.480 --> 00:30:29.519 what music hits? Yeah, the Hardy Boys. So I'm very angry 415 00:30:29.519 --> 00:30:33.319 about this not being able to be there for that exact moment. Thanks Darren 416 00:30:33.319 --> 00:30:37.640 for bringing up some past trauma. Alrighty, I think this is our last 417 00:30:37.640 --> 00:30:45.960 email here. This is from Chris and Gallia. So this is Chris and 418 00:30:45.000 --> 00:30:49.559 Gallia from Warspite, Alberta, Canada, And they say, remember us, 419 00:30:52.079 --> 00:30:56.240 So what do you want to talk about? Okay, I'm deleting this email 420 00:30:56.359 --> 00:31:00.079 right now, but they say, well this is this week. We're not 421 00:31:00.160 --> 00:31:04.240 really sure. We think we have lots to say on August eleventh, though, 422 00:31:04.279 --> 00:31:08.440 because we're driving five hours to go to SmackDown in the Scotia Bank Saddle 423 00:31:08.480 --> 00:31:14.400 Dome in Calgary, Alberta. We have some of the worst seats because we 424 00:31:14.480 --> 00:31:18.559 are spending more money on gas than tickets. We'll be in attendant, screaming 425 00:31:18.599 --> 00:31:21.920 its fight night, as we do every Friday from our two seater couch. 426 00:31:22.519 --> 00:31:26.599 This SmackDown is a must because it is the first SmackDown after SummerSlam, so 427 00:31:26.640 --> 00:31:29.759 of course we are called to go to it. We are wondering if the 428 00:31:29.880 --> 00:31:33.720 ww podcast is big enough for the to us two mouthpieces of awesomeness from Warspite, 429 00:31:34.119 --> 00:31:38.240 one of which is a yearling fan. We are wanting to be your 430 00:31:38.440 --> 00:31:44.680 in person correspondence from the Nosebleed section. And in Calgary, we have the 431 00:31:44.759 --> 00:31:48.720 utmost belief we will see Jus rocking his new undisputed heavyweight title on Canadian soil. 432 00:31:49.079 --> 00:31:52.160 Giving the nod to Sammy Zane for what should have happened in Montreal. 433 00:31:52.279 --> 00:32:00.799 Chris and Gallia, unofficial temporary WWE correspondent, all right, well I have 434 00:32:00.880 --> 00:32:06.920 to disagree with let's see how many things here? Well, only one thing 435 00:32:06.960 --> 00:32:10.279 really, and that is that Jay is going to win the Champion Disputer Championship 436 00:32:10.279 --> 00:32:15.920 from Roman. I think there's a very low chance of that because there's too 437 00:32:15.000 --> 00:32:20.359 much still left to be done with Roman as champion. There's still too much. 438 00:32:20.599 --> 00:32:22.839 Because Jay wins, and I said this about Cody Rose of WrestleMania thirty 439 00:32:22.920 --> 00:32:29.759 nine this year, he wins, and then what right? Then what? 440 00:32:30.200 --> 00:32:34.000 Because the reports are and I believe this, it makes sense and it feels 441 00:32:34.079 --> 00:32:38.400 right that the bloodline storyline is going to come to a stop a conclusion at 442 00:32:38.440 --> 00:32:43.119 SummerSlam and Roman's going to move on to somebody finally outside of the family. 443 00:32:43.880 --> 00:32:47.079 So that makes sense to me. And if that's the case, Jus winning 444 00:32:47.119 --> 00:32:52.200 would mean that Roman is going to continue his program with Jay. It's just 445 00:32:52.359 --> 00:32:54.920 not likely. There's still Again, if you're asking me, what's there left 446 00:32:54.920 --> 00:32:59.440 to do with Roman, Randy Orton bray Wyatt, those two have a massive 447 00:32:59.480 --> 00:33:02.680 history set. Rollins has yet to conclude his program with Roman Reigns for the 448 00:33:02.759 --> 00:33:07.039 championship. There's a lot of history there. What about La Night and Roman 449 00:33:07.079 --> 00:33:09.039 Reigns. That could be a whole hell of a lot of fun. Gun 450 00:33:09.039 --> 00:33:12.119 through and Roman Reigns with the title for it would be a whole hell of 451 00:33:12.119 --> 00:33:15.680 a lot of fun. There's still a lot to be told now not they 452 00:33:15.720 --> 00:33:20.920 don't have to exhaust every little avenue and turn over every single stone, but 453 00:33:21.000 --> 00:33:23.519 there's big, glaring ones out there, and the title is important when he 454 00:33:23.799 --> 00:33:29.440 does get to these programs. So that's what I think. But hey, 455 00:33:30.359 --> 00:33:35.680 email me your email me. I guess what is it? Today's third Well, 456 00:33:35.720 --> 00:33:39.039 today's Thursday now. But I do stuff through Skype. So if you 457 00:33:39.039 --> 00:33:43.240 guys have Skype, maybe we can talk. All right, how about how 458 00:33:43.279 --> 00:33:45.240 about that? And we'd have to figure out a time and I'm guessing that 459 00:33:45.319 --> 00:33:51.599 your time zone is a little different than mine. All right, let's uh 460 00:33:52.079 --> 00:33:55.359 think Yeah, that concludes the email portion of the show, So let's get 461 00:33:55.359 --> 00:34:01.759 to the Veer the Veer, the Veer Mahan Report from DJ Cousmo. Hello, 462 00:34:06.960 --> 00:34:09.519 don't every podcast world, this is DJ Couzma back at it again on 463 00:34:09.719 --> 00:34:14.400 your mail Backshaw records you like on a Wedsday morning.

The vere Maha Report. Now, the vere Maha Report took 482 00:35:29.039 --> 00:35:34.679 place this mass Mondayay on Monday Raw Live from Tampa Bay, Florida. But 483 00:35:34.880 --> 00:35:37.559 we did not for the I guess you could say second or third straight week, 484 00:35:37.639 --> 00:35:40.880 we did not get an appearance of me in this year, Oh my 485 00:35:42.039 --> 00:35:45.920 guy, Vi Maha ulf Saga out of Wolf Coast. We did not get 486 00:35:45.960 --> 00:35:50.360 an appearance of the modern day Maha Raja Jennimer Hall. But here's a quick 487 00:35:50.440 --> 00:35:54.920 update. They are at the Performance Center. They are back to their roots. 488 00:35:54.920 --> 00:36:00.360 They're back training in the Performance Center, getting themselves ready because it seems 489 00:36:00.400 --> 00:36:07.159 like after SummerSlam there might be a change with the Tag Team Championships, hopefully 490 00:36:07.199 --> 00:36:09.719 they split the belts, but they are second in line. I'm looking at 491 00:36:09.719 --> 00:36:15.159 this tag team. I'll be in this year, second in line after when 492 00:36:15.199 --> 00:36:17.679 the Judgment Day move out the way, which might be a couple of weeks. 493 00:36:17.800 --> 00:36:22.079 But other than that, hopefully these guys get an opportunity to go after 494 00:36:22.119 --> 00:36:29.360 the Tag Team champions And now we wait and wait and wait. Hopefully this 495 00:36:29.599 --> 00:36:31.760 will happen before the years out. But anyway, this is your guy, 496 00:36:31.840 --> 00:36:36.639 DJO. Have a blessed week by Kay to order the Stacy, my friends 497 00:36:36.840 --> 00:36:42.719 Michael Ridder, John c and the Blue Brad Brothers at peace. All right, 498 00:36:42.800 --> 00:36:46.280 DJ, thank you. And I believe that they're actually gonna be very 499 00:36:46.280 --> 00:36:51.519 shortly after SummerSlam. I know that the Judgment Day or they might continue their 500 00:36:51.519 --> 00:36:53.159 program. If they do, it'll be like you know, it'll be in 501 00:36:53.199 --> 00:36:55.920 short order. I don't believe the Judgment Judgment Day are going to take the 502 00:36:55.960 --> 00:36:59.599 belts from Kevin and Sammy. I still don't believe they are. I still 503 00:36:59.599 --> 00:37:01.800 believe it's going to be very Mahan and Songa. I still believe that it's 504 00:37:01.840 --> 00:37:05.880 going to be them attacking at Summer Slam shortly after Summer Slam, we're at 505 00:37:05.880 --> 00:37:07.880 Payback. But the fact that they're not on TV, the fact that they 506 00:37:07.920 --> 00:37:12.960 haven't done a whole lot with them, is actually, to me slightly encouraging 507 00:37:13.000 --> 00:37:15.519 if you want to put a silver lining on it, because it gets them 508 00:37:15.519 --> 00:37:17.719 out of the minds of fans. So when they start to or when they 509 00:37:17.800 --> 00:37:22.320 do actually inject themselves in and attack Heaven and Sam, you're like, WHOA, 510 00:37:22.320 --> 00:37:27.280 I didn't see that coming because they've been out of your mind. So 511 00:37:28.280 --> 00:37:30.199 that's a bit of a silver lining. But at worst, as you said, 512 00:37:30.280 --> 00:37:34.039 DJ, they are second in line. All right, very good. 513 00:37:34.639 --> 00:37:37.360 Let's let's get to our next one. Hey, it's Kyle's so Baltimore. 514 00:37:37.400 --> 00:37:42.400 So I wanted to talk about this um Ria and Raquel a live situation about 515 00:37:42.400 --> 00:37:45.000 what's what's the mat for SummerSlam um. I think what's gould happen? I 516 00:37:45.000 --> 00:37:50.440 think it would we live in Rhea or a SummerSlam um and they've got to 517 00:37:50.519 --> 00:37:55.079 hold off for Viquel at Payback. I don't think they're gonna do the matter 518 00:37:55.199 --> 00:37:59.039 to lit Live and Ria at raw. I don't think that's what's gonna happen. 519 00:37:59.039 --> 00:38:01.440 Is the habit at Summer State. I think people are, but you 520 00:38:01.480 --> 00:38:05.679 know, live it's super popular. Though some people don't like Linn Morgan, 521 00:38:05.800 --> 00:38:09.360 but I personally do. I'm not that big of Nifer. That's definitely towards 522 00:38:09.440 --> 00:38:14.880 Becky Risch for me fan of, but lind is fine, and I think 523 00:38:14.880 --> 00:38:16.800 that matches having me next Summer Slam. And I think they're gonna do Raquel 524 00:38:17.360 --> 00:38:22.119 and Ria for payback. I just have I just I think what happened on 525 00:38:22.119 --> 00:38:24.880 Monday, I just could see that they could see them making that official next 526 00:38:24.920 --> 00:38:29.559 week on RAW. So we'll see, but I think that's the direction to 527 00:38:29.679 --> 00:38:36.079 hey name with Summer Slam with Sprea Ripley and so yeah, and was Becky 528 00:38:36.159 --> 00:38:39.880 Atrish. I don't know. I'm ready for the um there, I'm expected, 529 00:38:40.000 --> 00:38:43.519 you know, maybe they'll do a couple of stipulation. You're gonna have, 530 00:38:44.159 --> 00:38:45.679 you know, to do the thing on Rod Becky wedge. It gets 531 00:38:45.719 --> 00:38:50.239 trish though, it's you know, and then we move on from this and 532 00:38:50.320 --> 00:38:54.000 we have Becky moved one to rear, Ripley hated to payback or fasculated. 533 00:38:54.000 --> 00:38:59.119 I don't think they can hold off to wrestle media. But um, I 534 00:38:59.159 --> 00:39:00.599 don't think it helps to about to WrestleMania. They could by all the how 535 00:39:00.639 --> 00:39:05.079 ask what it happened, But that's my stents. So much happening with the 536 00:39:05.079 --> 00:39:07.559 one the championship at this at this time, right now. So again a 537 00:39:07.559 --> 00:39:13.000 Summer Slam at day so we live and Riha and it'll hold off Raquel probably 538 00:39:13.039 --> 00:39:15.239 at Payback. So that's what I think, but I will see. But 539 00:39:15.239 --> 00:39:22.760 I did it for call it tie good stuff, Kyle, So I think 540 00:39:23.039 --> 00:39:28.039 my only, my only instinct to disagree with you is the fact that Summer 541 00:39:28.079 --> 00:39:30.679 Slam is a bigger pay per view than Payback or fast Lane. It's their 542 00:39:30.679 --> 00:39:36.280 restuning of the summer, right It's it's uh now stadium shows and wouldn't you 543 00:39:36.320 --> 00:39:38.920 want the biggest match possible? And the bigger match is Kal versus Rhea. 544 00:39:39.679 --> 00:39:45.440 I know Live is a you know, kind of a she's a little fireball, 545 00:39:45.519 --> 00:39:47.599 right like she she she ends up. She never really ever wins the 546 00:39:47.639 --> 00:39:52.559 big one outside of that, okay, outside of the championship against you know 547 00:39:52.599 --> 00:39:57.239 that she she beat Ronda Rowsy, and even then she only beat Ronda Rolsy 548 00:39:57.280 --> 00:40:00.320 because she was at her weakest point. So actually, isn't really a ton 549 00:40:00.360 --> 00:40:01.920 of live moments where you could go, Wow, she looked dominant there. 550 00:40:02.760 --> 00:40:07.599 And Ria Ripley versus Raquel from a physical standpoint is much more appealing because Ria 551 00:40:07.679 --> 00:40:12.159 Ripley has yet to meet her equal when it comes to strength and power. 552 00:40:12.679 --> 00:40:16.440 I know that that Raquel's quote unquote injured, but I have a feeling that 553 00:40:16.440 --> 00:40:21.599 she'll come back on raw, She'll come out limping or at least in a 554 00:40:21.639 --> 00:40:25.559 knee brace, and that she will challenge Ria. And Ria will accept because 555 00:40:25.559 --> 00:40:30.599 she smells blood, because Raquel is injured. And you could tell that story 556 00:40:30.599 --> 00:40:35.519 throughout the whole match, of Raquel and her injury and Ria targeting it throughout 557 00:40:35.559 --> 00:40:38.159 the entire match, and Raquel's fighting spirit and all this kind of stuff. 558 00:40:38.159 --> 00:40:43.119 It's just kind of psychology one on one when it comes to sympathy for a 559 00:40:43.119 --> 00:40:46.119 baby face, of which Raquel is just I don't know how they're They're they're 560 00:40:46.119 --> 00:40:50.719 hanging on by threads with people turning on Raquel. I have to say Live 561 00:40:50.920 --> 00:40:53.679 is more likable. But that said, I still think that it's Raquela and 562 00:40:54.599 --> 00:40:58.679 Raquel and Ria. Now you're you, you could be right. I'm not 563 00:40:58.719 --> 00:41:02.039 saying it's a bad idea, nor is it implausible, but Live and Ria 564 00:41:02.119 --> 00:41:05.719 again is not as big of a match, even though live is healthy. 565 00:41:06.400 --> 00:41:08.920 Um, and then you can have Roquell come out during the match. I'm 566 00:41:09.159 --> 00:41:14.639 not I mean, that's that's possible, but that's how I feel about Raquel 567 00:41:14.800 --> 00:41:19.119 and uh and Ria. But Becky and Ria, I think is being saved. 568 00:41:19.159 --> 00:41:22.519 It could be safe for WrestleMania, but I think it's it could even 569 00:41:22.559 --> 00:41:25.159 be safe for you know, fast Lane or Survivor Series. You know. 570 00:41:25.280 --> 00:41:29.000 I think that there they are probably not going to be able to go that 571 00:41:29.039 --> 00:41:32.440 long with Becky and Riha not crossing paths. Specifically, when Becky and Trish 572 00:41:32.480 --> 00:41:36.239 are concluding at Summer Slam and then Becky has to move on to someone, 573 00:41:36.440 --> 00:41:38.960 it could be Ria, but I think Roquell and lives still have some untold, 574 00:41:39.039 --> 00:41:44.000 untold story there, so Becky's probably not going to be till the end 575 00:41:44.000 --> 00:41:45.480 of the year. All right, good stuff, Kyle, let's get to 576 00:41:45.639 --> 00:41:47.599 I think this is actually a find of voicemail. Guys, really short on 577 00:41:47.639 --> 00:41:52.159 the voicemails tonight, but let's do it. Hey, Matt and Today Talks 578 00:41:52.599 --> 00:41:55.840 or Kyle. So you know, I first started doing the core Gats report 579 00:41:57.199 --> 00:42:01.480 after the lest if you take over? What was it I don't even remember 580 00:42:01.480 --> 00:42:07.599 what last one it was us. I think it was um, I don't 581 00:42:07.639 --> 00:42:09.679 remember unless what les what the least take over was Anyway, the last one, 582 00:42:09.679 --> 00:42:13.599 it was like two months ago. You know I first started doing this, 583 00:42:14.639 --> 00:42:17.159 like, I fella, Chord g was getting a push like before that 584 00:42:17.239 --> 00:42:22.800 takeover, I fella they were building her up. Now I'm kind of concerned 585 00:42:22.840 --> 00:42:27.280 now, like she gets to win, but then I lost. It gets 586 00:42:27.280 --> 00:42:29.880 always back and forth with the pattern. You shoot a big win, they 587 00:42:29.920 --> 00:42:32.840 gets a big loss immediately after it. Once again lost a feud this week, 588 00:42:34.920 --> 00:42:37.440 Yeah, Kenda stick matt If Daniel Brook. Sharon made her developing Dann 589 00:42:37.480 --> 00:42:42.960 Brooker, giving her a character and all, but still like, really you 590 00:42:43.000 --> 00:42:46.360 could I couldn't have the rousing star of Chord gave win. Dana Brook beat 591 00:42:46.400 --> 00:42:52.119 Chord J Kenda stick match, which should be corre stipulation technically because Chorg comes 592 00:42:52.119 --> 00:42:54.920 out every week from her own little sticking here tripolid sludghammer, a little metal 593 00:42:55.000 --> 00:43:00.760 kendle stick, So it's really stipulation almost like how undertake her the casket match. 594 00:43:00.239 --> 00:43:05.159 This kind of stick match feels like a quarter stipulation because you'd think she 595 00:43:05.159 --> 00:43:12.000 would win her stipulation right, not this time m brookwon. So that's annoying, 596 00:43:13.119 --> 00:43:17.280 Like this makes a Courtiers Karker an upshell since since I Takeover talks trash, 597 00:43:17.360 --> 00:43:21.639 they're good Heal has Ada Lee vibes because she feels like a new Aga 598 00:43:21.800 --> 00:43:27.000 League almost talks trash. You're going the mic backs up by willing the first 599 00:43:27.039 --> 00:43:29.920 match in the feud, but then she loses the blow off match and loses 600 00:43:29.920 --> 00:43:32.559 the whole feud as if you're her character and nutshell, when's the first match 601 00:43:34.039 --> 00:43:37.519 to the backup for her claims? Then she loses the second match and loses 602 00:43:37.519 --> 00:43:39.360 the entire feud at the ends, that's just see what happened here, just 603 00:43:39.400 --> 00:43:43.800 feel like the finale of the feud. I don't know anymore. I time, 604 00:43:43.800 --> 00:43:45.920 it feels like it's good given that hope because I'm really into her, 605 00:43:45.400 --> 00:43:51.400 but I'm worried because I think you will also work. Right now is like 606 00:43:51.480 --> 00:43:55.320 six to five six wins five losses. Yikes. Anyway, as the guys 607 00:43:55.320 --> 00:44:00.800 next week Summer Sun weekends, well, Kyle, you know that's the story 608 00:44:00.800 --> 00:44:04.920 of a lot of guys and gals that come up, right. It's not 609 00:44:04.960 --> 00:44:07.920 everyone, Not everyone can get wins. I mean, for every win, 610 00:44:07.000 --> 00:44:12.000 there's a loss, right, Like if someone wins, that means someone else 611 00:44:12.039 --> 00:44:15.960 loses. So the fact that it's a pattern here, I mean, I 612 00:44:16.000 --> 00:44:21.440 don't think it's that concerning that she's getting TV time, right, So there's 613 00:44:21.480 --> 00:44:25.400 that again. I'm not I'm not trying to completely counter your concerns. You 614 00:44:25.400 --> 00:44:29.159 could be valid and this couldn't end up being a whole bunch of she could 615 00:44:29.280 --> 00:44:31.480 end up being a nothing burger, right, and she ends up just fading 616 00:44:31.519 --> 00:44:34.599 off into the distance and the next thing, you know, a year from 617 00:44:34.599 --> 00:44:37.159 now, she's released. I mean that could be. I hope not, 618 00:44:37.480 --> 00:44:43.559 but it could be. But again, you're describing a lot of developmental talents 619 00:44:43.599 --> 00:44:46.719 paths, so this is not an uncommon way for talent to get started and 620 00:44:46.960 --> 00:44:51.119 see how the crowd reacts and more importantly, how the how the talent reacts 621 00:44:51.119 --> 00:44:54.280 and not winning all the time and losing programs in real life, you know 622 00:44:54.280 --> 00:44:58.239 what I mean, Like that is actually something they'd look for and s see 623 00:44:58.320 --> 00:45:04.320 how the talent deals with maybe their minutes getting reduced and also not winning their 624 00:45:04.719 --> 00:45:08.360 programs regularly, you know. And also she's a heel, so heels tend 625 00:45:08.400 --> 00:45:14.960 to lose more at least the blowoff anyway. So I'm gonna try to put 626 00:45:15.000 --> 00:45:19.199 some cold water on your fire of concern and just say that, but cool, 627 00:45:19.400 --> 00:45:22.440 good stuff, Kyle. Hope you're doing well. Hope everyone's doing well. 628 00:45:22.440 --> 00:45:24.400 A little bit of short mail bag here, but it's it's the week 629 00:45:24.440 --> 00:45:30.000 before the SummerSlam extravaganza. So we've got a lot of stuff coming up here 630 00:45:30.039 --> 00:45:34.360 with SummerSlam next week, a lot to say, a lot to do, 631 00:45:34.440 --> 00:45:37.440 a lot of programs, a lot of preview shows and review shows and everything 632 00:45:37.440 --> 00:45:43.280 else that'll get going next week, and I hope everybody is ready for that 633 00:45:43.360 --> 00:45:46.360 as we roll into a major week in wrestling next week, and everyone's enjoying 634 00:45:46.360 --> 00:45:51.320 their summer, enjoy the last part of July as we close in on August. 635 00:45:51.400 --> 00:45:53.920 So thank you everybody for listening.
