WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.400 --> 00:00:06.040 But the first time ever SmackDown was in France tonight and according to WWE, 2 00:00:06.440 --> 00:00:11.679 it was the highest grossing SmackDown in history. This I'll tell you what you 3 00:00:11.679 --> 00:00:15.119 know. Going into WrestleMania, WWE was on a hot streak, a lot 4 00:00:15.119 --> 00:00:18.359 of sellouts on the roads to WrestleMania. But you kind of expected it because 5 00:00:18.359 --> 00:00:22.480 you had the Rock and Roman reigns and Cody and that whole story going on. 6 00:00:23.160 --> 00:00:26.000 But they have been able to keep up the momentum so far coming out 7 00:00:26.039 --> 00:00:31.120 of WrestleMania and these crowds. They've been on some international tours. They were 8 00:00:31.160 --> 00:00:34.759 in the UK, I believe last week. I saw a video from Gunther 9 00:00:34.960 --> 00:00:37.960 he was in Vienna. He was in his home country the other day getting 10 00:00:37.960 --> 00:00:41.840 a Heroes welcome, And they have been packing these crowds in. And I 11 00:00:41.840 --> 00:00:45.759 will tell you what right now, this show tonight, which was taped earlier 12 00:00:45.799 --> 00:00:51.240 in the day, this crowd in Leone, France. If this crowd is 13 00:00:51.240 --> 00:00:55.280 going to be anything like this tomorrow for Backlash, we are in for a 14 00:00:55.520 --> 00:00:58.880 very fun pay per view. I will tell you that right now, this 15 00:00:58.920 --> 00:01:02.759 is going to be It's like a year ago when Backlash came to Puerto Rico. 16 00:01:03.280 --> 00:01:07.319 That's what this is going to be like tomorrow and maybe then some Holy 17 00:01:07.439 --> 00:01:10.719 shit. I mean, this crowd, it's one of those It's one of 18 00:01:10.719 --> 00:01:14.599 those things where you just wish you could take all of that enthusiasm and just 19 00:01:14.719 --> 00:01:18.239 bottle it up and take it back with you to the States, you know 20 00:01:18.280 --> 00:01:19.840 what I mean, and just use a little bit of it each week whenever 21 00:01:19.879 --> 00:01:23.879 you need to. Oh, this crowd tonight here is kind of dead. 22 00:01:23.120 --> 00:01:27.239 Let's pop the bottle open. Let's take some of that energy and use it 23 00:01:27.480 --> 00:01:30.000 somewhere else. Right. You just wish that you could do that, but 24 00:01:30.040 --> 00:01:34.840 you can't, so you just enjoy it while it lasts. That crowd made 25 00:01:34.920 --> 00:01:38.799 this show tonight, and this show tonight was punctuated by a face to face 26 00:01:38.879 --> 00:01:42.079 confrontation at the end of the show between the champion and the challenger. Heading 27 00:01:42.120 --> 00:01:48.719 into Backlash, Cody Rhodes and aj Styles face to face one more time before 28 00:01:48.719 --> 00:01:53.239 they're a big undisputed title match. I was just happy to see Cody is 29 00:01:53.319 --> 00:01:57.560 okay physically after what happened last week in the match with Carmelo Hayes, that 30 00:01:57.799 --> 00:02:02.439 very scary spot where they did the springboard off the ropes. They both missed. 31 00:02:02.680 --> 00:02:07.400 Cody landed hard on his shoulder. There were no injury updates on him, 32 00:02:07.400 --> 00:02:10.240 nobody said anything about it, but he turned out to be okay. 33 00:02:12.199 --> 00:02:15.240 I felt the same way when I saw what happened to Powerhouse Hobbs a few 34 00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:20.039 weeks ago on Dynamite against John Moxley, and as it turned out, he 35 00:02:20.120 --> 00:02:23.719 suffered a very significant injury. He's gonna have surgery, he's gonna be gone 36 00:02:23.719 --> 00:02:25.759 for a while. I saw Cody land on that shoulder, I'm thinking, 37 00:02:25.759 --> 00:02:31.000 oh my god, they banked everything on him. They're building SmackDown around him. 38 00:02:31.039 --> 00:02:35.879 That's the last thing they need. But Cody is okay. I'm happy 39 00:02:35.919 --> 00:02:38.599 to report that Cody Rhods is all right. The match is a go for 40 00:02:38.719 --> 00:02:46.479 tomorrow. They closed out what technically it was not the closing segment, but 41 00:02:46.680 --> 00:02:51.120 they closed out what I thought overall was a good go home show for Backlash. 42 00:02:51.159 --> 00:02:53.680 I thought they did a fine job of promoting the two key matches for 43 00:02:53.800 --> 00:02:59.319 tomorrow's show, which are Cody Roads against aj Styles and then the tag team 44 00:02:59.319 --> 00:03:02.240 match, which is going to be Randy Orton and Kevin Owens taking on Solo 45 00:03:02.319 --> 00:03:08.439 Socoa and Tomatonga representing the Bloodline. Or I guess you would call it a 46 00:03:08.879 --> 00:03:13.800 new bloodline that they have now. And those are the two key matches tomorrow. 47 00:03:13.919 --> 00:03:15.360 I mean, I guess you could throw in the World Heavyweight title match 48 00:03:15.400 --> 00:03:20.080 as well. But they did a good job of promoting the key ones that 49 00:03:20.120 --> 00:03:23.639 they had to here. On this show, we also had three more names 50 00:03:23.960 --> 00:03:30.919 declare for the King of the Ring tournament in Carmelo Hayes, La Knight, 51 00:03:31.319 --> 00:03:37.639 and Santos Escobar. I don't know that it's official, we haven't gotten the 52 00:03:37.759 --> 00:03:40.680 official announcement yet, but they did declare, so I think it's safe to 53 00:03:40.719 --> 00:03:44.759 assume they will be in the tournament. Now. You throw in Gunther, 54 00:03:45.280 --> 00:03:47.719 who was the first man to declare, You throw in Drew McIntyre who was 55 00:03:47.759 --> 00:03:54.400 also declared, maybe Seamus, maybe even someone like bron Breaker, and this 56 00:03:54.560 --> 00:04:00.560 is already shaping up to be a very strong field. Give these men time 57 00:04:00.639 --> 00:04:03.919 because they're gonna be starting the tournaments on TV this week. So on Raw 58 00:04:03.960 --> 00:04:08.120 this Monday, the King of the Ring kicks off. It continues into SmackDown 59 00:04:08.159 --> 00:04:13.000 next Friday. They're doing the tournament matches on TV with the finals, and 60 00:04:13.039 --> 00:04:15.360 I think that's what they did two years ago, or maybe it was three 61 00:04:15.439 --> 00:04:19.759 years ago, the last tournament they did, saving the finals for Saudi Arabia. 62 00:04:20.399 --> 00:04:25.360 If they give these men time and I know we're gonna have the commercial 63 00:04:25.399 --> 00:04:28.360 breaks and they're very disruptive, but if they give them time on TV, 64 00:04:28.480 --> 00:04:32.160 this tournament could turn out to be something very special because already, without knowing 65 00:04:32.199 --> 00:04:34.279 all of the names that are going to be in it, it's a pretty 66 00:04:34.319 --> 00:04:39.920 stacked lineup of people. And I didn't even say anything about it, like 67 00:04:39.959 --> 00:04:44.680 an Ilia Dragonov, who's going to be debuting on Raw probably as soon as 68 00:04:44.680 --> 00:04:47.279 this Monday. He should be on Raw, so that's gonna be something special. 69 00:04:48.360 --> 00:04:54.160 One thing though, that was very apparent from Raw Monday SmackDown tonight. 70 00:04:54.920 --> 00:05:00.720 You know, we've been having these people declare for the King of the tournament, 71 00:05:00.480 --> 00:05:04.560 and I don't like that. I think it's stupid. I wish they 72 00:05:04.600 --> 00:05:08.759 would have had qualifying matches for this. That's the way they used to do 73 00:05:08.839 --> 00:05:12.319 it. And the reason I think it's stupid and it's very dumb, is 74 00:05:12.360 --> 00:05:16.720 because unlike even something like the Royal Rumble, where you have people who will 75 00:05:16.720 --> 00:05:20.759 sometimes come out and say I'm declaring for the Royal Rumble, and yet still 76 00:05:20.800 --> 00:05:25.800 in some years they will have qualifying matches occasionally for the rumble, which doesn't 77 00:05:25.800 --> 00:05:30.319 make any sense. But in a case like this, if you could just 78 00:05:30.399 --> 00:05:32.759 declare for the King of the Ring tournament, then why wouldn't everybody on the 79 00:05:32.839 --> 00:05:39.560 roster declare for the King of the Ring tournament? Why wouldn't Berto declare for 80 00:05:39.639 --> 00:05:42.959 the King of the Ring tournament? Right, It's just it's stupid. But 81 00:05:43.600 --> 00:05:47.839 my belief here is that they are doing the tournament matches on television in the 82 00:05:47.879 --> 00:05:51.000 weeks leading up to the show, and so I think they just don't want 83 00:05:51.040 --> 00:05:55.120 it to be overkilled. Maybe in their mind it would be overkill if they 84 00:05:55.160 --> 00:05:59.759 had qualifying matches and then they go right into the tournament matches. I think 85 00:05:59.800 --> 00:06:03.079 that the way to do it. They opted not to one thing that was 86 00:06:03.120 --> 00:06:09.319 glaring. Though we've had people left and right declaring for the King of the 87 00:06:09.399 --> 00:06:12.720 Ring, why are none of the women declaring for the Queen of the Ring. 88 00:06:14.040 --> 00:06:17.920 It's King and Queen of the Ring. Everybody is declaring for the men's 89 00:06:17.959 --> 00:06:24.279 tournament. Nobody is declaring for the women's tournament. And what I'm hoping is 90 00:06:24.319 --> 00:06:28.199 that now that we are in this new era that they love to talk about, 91 00:06:28.279 --> 00:06:31.879 so much with mister levec over here. He will take a different approach 92 00:06:32.000 --> 00:06:38.360 than the old regime took to what they called the Queen's Crown. I would 93 00:06:38.399 --> 00:06:42.040 like to forget that that happened. The Queen's Crown was a colossal waste of 94 00:06:42.160 --> 00:06:46.000 time. So I'm hoping we're not in for a sequel to that. And 95 00:06:46.040 --> 00:06:49.519 they actually put some thought and some effort into the female side of this, 96 00:06:49.600 --> 00:06:54.199 into the Queen of the Ring. But why nobody has declared on that side 97 00:06:54.240 --> 00:06:57.399 and everybody's declaring on the men's side again, that's just something that doesn't make 98 00:06:57.439 --> 00:07:03.759 any sense. Now. W is hyping a major announcement for tomorrow. See 99 00:07:03.759 --> 00:07:08.000 Tony Kahan is not the only one who can hype up major announcements. Here, 100 00:07:09.000 --> 00:07:13.399 they're hyping up a major WrestleMania announcement. They told everybody to make sure 101 00:07:13.439 --> 00:07:16.199 they're following them on all their social media platforms. They didn't say exactly when 102 00:07:16.240 --> 00:07:20.920 the news is going to drop. It might coincide with Backlash when Backlash goes 103 00:07:20.920 --> 00:07:25.959 on the air tomorrow. Don't forget it is a one o'clock Eastern start, 104 00:07:26.120 --> 00:07:30.800 so prepare accordingly if you are planning on watching the show or checking out this 105 00:07:30.839 --> 00:07:34.839 guy's stream over here. When it's over, it's an early start time tomorrow. 106 00:07:35.360 --> 00:07:39.120 But they're going to have a WrestleMania announcement. They did not say what 107 00:07:39.160 --> 00:07:41.759 it is. I think it's safe to say they're going to finally announce the 108 00:07:41.759 --> 00:07:46.120 location for WrestleMania. And for the longest time, Minneapolis was in the running, 109 00:07:46.120 --> 00:07:48.920 and all you heard about was US Bank Stadium, and Minnesota made a 110 00:07:48.959 --> 00:07:51.120 play for it a long time ago. They're going to get it. They're 111 00:07:51.120 --> 00:07:55.160 gonna get forty one next year. And then all of a sudden, the 112 00:07:55.199 --> 00:07:58.560 conversation began to change in the last couple of months, and you heard a 113 00:07:58.560 --> 00:08:01.079 lot about Las Vegas. I've been waiting for wrestle Media to come back to 114 00:08:01.160 --> 00:08:07.600 Vegas since nineteen ninety three. I think Vegas is the perfect location for WrestleMania, 115 00:08:07.680 --> 00:08:09.879 especially now that they have an actual stadium there. Back then they didn't. 116 00:08:11.720 --> 00:08:15.319 But Vegas has been picking up a lot of steam in the last few 117 00:08:15.360 --> 00:08:18.639 weeks. And then Undertaker went and made a comment on his podcast a few 118 00:08:18.680 --> 00:08:22.079 weeks ago saying that he he kind of let it slip that they're doing it 119 00:08:22.120 --> 00:08:26.399 in Vegas next year. I'm not sure if he knew that it was official, 120 00:08:26.480 --> 00:08:31.199 but obviously he was privy to conversations that were going on. So it 121 00:08:31.240 --> 00:08:35.320 looks as if the announcement is going to be the WrestleMania is coming to Las 122 00:08:35.399 --> 00:08:37.919 Vegas. That's my take. If I had to put money on which one 123 00:08:37.960 --> 00:08:41.320 it's going to be, I would guess that it's going to be Las Vegas, 124 00:08:43.159 --> 00:08:46.480 and then Minneapolis would get forty two. I'll tell you why I think 125 00:08:46.519 --> 00:08:50.000 it's going to be Vegas. One of the biggest reasons why I think it's 126 00:08:50.000 --> 00:08:52.360 going to be Vegas, besides the fact that it's a big vacation destination. 127 00:08:54.360 --> 00:08:58.559 If The Rock is going to come back and have a big match of WrestleMania 128 00:08:58.559 --> 00:09:01.000 next year and he matched The Rock at is gonna be big. But if 129 00:09:01.000 --> 00:09:03.679 the plan is for The Rock to come back and have a main event match 130 00:09:03.679 --> 00:09:09.399 with Cody Rhodes or a main event match with Roman Reigns, I don't know 131 00:09:09.440 --> 00:09:13.080 that The Rock is gonna want that big main event to happen in Minneapolis over 132 00:09:13.159 --> 00:09:18.240 Las Vegas. I think the appeal of it being Las Vegas. It's just 133 00:09:18.320 --> 00:09:22.720 something I think that would be more appealing to them and to him if they 134 00:09:22.720 --> 00:09:26.000 were gonna hype up some big fight, right. It's like UFC, they 135 00:09:26.039 --> 00:09:30.039 do so many events in Vegas. I feel like for a big match like 136 00:09:30.120 --> 00:09:33.919 that, they're gonna want a big location and in their mind they may look 137 00:09:33.960 --> 00:09:35.679 at it and go, you know what, Vegas is the place to be 138 00:09:35.840 --> 00:09:41.960 for forty one, and then we'll save Minneapolis for forty two. That's what 139 00:09:43.080 --> 00:09:46.159 I'm thinking here. So we'll find out tomorrow. We won't have to wait 140 00:09:46.279 --> 00:09:50.559 very long, but that is coming up tomorrow. This is your WWE SmackDown 141 00:09:50.600 --> 00:09:54.200 review. You don't have to wait until tomorrow for this. You got me 142 00:09:54.320 --> 00:09:58.200 right now. It is Friday. It is May third, twenty and twenty 143 00:09:58.240 --> 00:10:03.600 four. I am the It's a monster like subscribe super chats are open. 144 00:10:05.279 --> 00:10:11.080 Four hundred likes is the goal for be the Booker tonight. And for those 145 00:10:11.120 --> 00:10:13.279 of you who have not already figured it out, I will be live tomorrow 146 00:10:13.480 --> 00:10:20.000 Backlash taking place at one o'clock Eastern, so probably going to be live on 147 00:10:20.039 --> 00:10:24.840 YouTube sometime around four thirty ish, not long after the show is over. 148 00:10:24.519 --> 00:10:28.320 Come on back here less than twenty four hours, and I will go through 149 00:10:28.360 --> 00:10:31.919 the good, the bad, and the ugly. Hopefully there won't be any 150 00:10:31.000 --> 00:10:33.960 ugly. I'll tell you what. With the crowd like they had tonight, 151 00:10:35.080 --> 00:10:39.120 it's hard to imagine the show tomorrow being ugly at all. But I'll be 152 00:10:39.200 --> 00:10:41.879 back with you to cover the pay per view at that time, and hopefully 153 00:10:41.879 --> 00:10:46.879 you are here with me, so let's zip on through this. The show 154 00:10:46.919 --> 00:10:50.279 tonight opened with an eight woman tag team match. It was Bailey, Naomi, 155 00:10:50.519 --> 00:10:54.480 Bianca bell Air, and Jade Cargill taking on Tiffany Stratton, Dakota Kai, 156 00:10:56.000 --> 00:11:03.480 Kyrie Sain and Osca. Tiffany Stratt has been given the deaf Rebel treatment. 157 00:11:05.679 --> 00:11:07.720 I guess her previous music may have also been deaf Rebel, but she's 158 00:11:07.720 --> 00:11:13.639 been given a new song by deaf Rebel. They must pay for what they 159 00:11:13.639 --> 00:11:18.200 have done. I don't know how, I don't know when, but they 160 00:11:18.279 --> 00:11:22.080 must be stopped. This is not an upgrade over the theme that she had 161 00:11:22.120 --> 00:11:26.840 before. So right from the jump, the crowd was just electric for this 162 00:11:28.000 --> 00:11:31.600 match. You did not have to wait very long to get a feel for 163 00:11:31.679 --> 00:11:35.440 this crowd, right from the opening entrance, right from the opening match, 164 00:11:35.519 --> 00:11:39.559 and everybody got an entrance here. So all the babyfaces came out and got 165 00:11:39.679 --> 00:11:43.120 entrances. The heels they got entrances, and they did that on purpose because 166 00:11:43.519 --> 00:11:48.200 any other week, I think we only would have gotten the babyface entrances. 167 00:11:48.279 --> 00:11:52.320 But these people were going nuts for everything. And I love the arena there. 168 00:11:52.480 --> 00:11:56.480 I don't know the name of the arena, but it's a unique setting 169 00:11:56.480 --> 00:12:01.679 in that they have the modified, smaller setup in the wrestlers come out and 170 00:12:01.720 --> 00:12:07.639 it's almost as if they have this horizontal screen that runs along kind of runs 171 00:12:07.679 --> 00:12:11.679 along the wall of the arena. So I just think when the people walk 172 00:12:11.720 --> 00:12:13.240 out there in the entrance way, it just makes for a good visual and 173 00:12:13.279 --> 00:12:18.440 so we'll have that tomorrow for backlash as well. So right from the jump, 174 00:12:20.360 --> 00:12:24.200 crowd was going nuts for pretty much everything they were doing, and they 175 00:12:24.200 --> 00:12:28.200 don't get to see this live very often. Naomi and Kyrie they started things 176 00:12:28.240 --> 00:12:33.240 out. Bianka tagged in landed a standing moon salt for a two count. 177 00:12:33.399 --> 00:12:37.120 She lifted Kyrie for a delayed vertical supplex, hit it, and then threw 178 00:12:37.200 --> 00:12:41.720 Oscar to the floor. Bailey tagged herself in back from a break. Tiffany 179 00:12:41.799 --> 00:12:46.759 hit an Alabama slam on Bailey and had her pin, but Naomi broke it 180 00:12:46.840 --> 00:12:50.799 up. Stratton knocked Cargill off the apron with a forearm shot and then followed 181 00:12:50.879 --> 00:12:56.679 up by running Bailey into Naomi to knock her off the apron. Bailey supplex 182 00:12:56.759 --> 00:13:01.480 Stratton and then exchanged an awkward look with Bianca, and not the first time, 183 00:13:01.960 --> 00:13:05.720 not the last time that these two have shared an awkward moment in these 184 00:13:05.799 --> 00:13:09.559 last several weeks, and it would not be the last time, in fact, 185 00:13:09.600 --> 00:13:13.559 on this show that these two would have an awkward, tense moment. 186 00:13:13.679 --> 00:13:18.000 Jade got back up on the apron. Bailey tagged her in instead of giving 187 00:13:18.000 --> 00:13:22.519 the tag to Bianca, and Jade comes in and she hits a pump kick. 188 00:13:22.960 --> 00:13:26.039 It's a power bomb, tags out so Ken. She's not doing too 189 00:13:26.120 --> 00:13:31.559 much, and I would expect the same tomorrow with Backlash, where I would 190 00:13:31.600 --> 00:13:35.799 be surprised if Bianca does not start that match, and if they do, 191 00:13:35.159 --> 00:13:39.519 you know the spot where the baby faces in peril and needs to make a 192 00:13:39.559 --> 00:13:43.759 tag. They've done that before with Jade, where she stays on the apron 193 00:13:43.200 --> 00:13:46.080 and they build to the hot tag and she gets it and the place goes 194 00:13:46.120 --> 00:13:50.480 crazy, which I'm sure they will tomorrow, and then she gets to come 195 00:13:50.480 --> 00:13:54.200 in and look good and do some power spots. It's a formula that's worked 196 00:13:54.279 --> 00:13:56.840 so far. I would expect the match tomorrow to play out much the same 197 00:13:56.879 --> 00:14:01.639 way. But she tagged out, didn't stay in there very long, and 198 00:14:01.679 --> 00:14:05.759 then we got a series of rapid fire spots that ended with Bianca dropping Dakota 199 00:14:05.799 --> 00:14:11.080 with the kod and pinning her while the fans counted along with the referees count 200 00:14:11.320 --> 00:14:20.120 in French. A perfectly decent match in any other building, but in front 201 00:14:20.120 --> 00:14:22.960 of this crowd, it was a lot of fun. Now, we got 202 00:14:22.960 --> 00:14:26.799 a small preview here of two different matches that are happening tomorrow. We have 203 00:14:26.840 --> 00:14:31.279 the Women's Tag Team title match tomorrow and we have the Triple Threat for the 204 00:14:31.399 --> 00:14:35.200 WWE Women's Championship, So we had a little bit of a preview with the 205 00:14:35.240 --> 00:14:39.399 participants here in this match. The bigger story, though, is the issue 206 00:14:39.639 --> 00:14:46.240 or issues that persist between Bianca bel Air and Bailey. Bianca bell Air does 207 00:14:46.279 --> 00:14:48.759 not like Bailey. She made that very clear heading into WrestleMania. When Bailey 208 00:14:48.759 --> 00:14:52.919 got betrayed by Damage Control, she had no friends and Naomi felt bad for 209 00:14:52.960 --> 00:14:56.000 her, and Beianca said, what do you feel bad for her for? 210 00:14:56.720 --> 00:14:58.679 Did you not see what she's done to me? Her and damage Control making 211 00:14:58.679 --> 00:15:03.320 my life a living hell the past two years. Bianca hasn't forgotten, and 212 00:15:03.399 --> 00:15:07.519 so there's still a tension there that they're really playing up between these two women. 213 00:15:09.320 --> 00:15:11.519 And again Bianca has made it very clear she really does not want to 214 00:15:11.559 --> 00:15:16.240 have anything to do with this woman. Even backstage when this was over, 215 00:15:16.360 --> 00:15:22.159 Caleb Braxton interviewed Bianca and Jade. Bailey and Naomi were standing by, and 216 00:15:22.200 --> 00:15:26.759 Bianca looked right at Bailey while she was saying that she had hoped now to 217 00:15:26.840 --> 00:15:33.440 be finished with the damage Control for good. After Backlash and Bailey left the 218 00:15:33.519 --> 00:15:39.120 room, Jade tried to calm Beyonca down. I think, regardless of how 219 00:15:39.200 --> 00:15:45.720 the Women's tag team title match plays out tomorrow, this is building to a 220 00:15:45.759 --> 00:15:50.200 women's title program between Bailey and Bianca bel Air. I don't know when. 221 00:15:50.000 --> 00:15:54.919 I don't know if they maybe would hold off on that for SummerSlam, because 222 00:15:54.960 --> 00:15:58.000 that feels like a big enough match to use on a card like SummerSlam. 223 00:16:00.080 --> 00:16:03.519 But that's where this seems to be headed. This is going somewhere, and 224 00:16:03.559 --> 00:16:07.399 the logical place for it to go, and Bailey is going to need some 225 00:16:07.480 --> 00:16:11.639 opponents would be Bailey against Bianca for the women's title, not right away, 226 00:16:11.200 --> 00:16:17.559 but again maybe later on as we get deeper into the summer. Nick All 227 00:16:17.600 --> 00:16:22.320 this was in the back and he was talking with the newest edition to the 228 00:16:22.360 --> 00:16:26.879 SmackDown roster, Carmelo Hayes, and he welcomes him to SmackDown. Hey said 229 00:16:26.879 --> 00:16:33.399 that he almost beat Cody Rhoades last week. Almost doesn't count, That's what 230 00:16:33.480 --> 00:16:37.960 he said, and he wanted to keep his momentum going, so he was 231 00:16:37.000 --> 00:16:45.519 declaring for the King of the Ring tournament. Alda said that we'll talk about 232 00:16:45.559 --> 00:16:48.039 it. And as I said before, those King of the Ring matches are 233 00:16:48.120 --> 00:16:52.320 kicking off on TV next week. We're actually going to find out I believe 234 00:16:52.639 --> 00:16:56.559 this was wrestle Votes that tweeted this earlier. We should find out the raw 235 00:16:57.120 --> 00:17:00.279 side of at least on the men's side, if not men's and women's, 236 00:17:00.879 --> 00:17:04.960 the raw side of the brackets tomorrow, and then on Monday we should find 237 00:17:04.960 --> 00:17:11.759 out the SmackDown side. And Monday is when the tournament matches kickoff. So 238 00:17:11.839 --> 00:17:15.720 Bobby Lashley entered the room. He greeted him warmly. Hey, Carmela, 239 00:17:15.799 --> 00:17:18.559 what's going on? Welcome to SmackDown. Everything's cool between them. It looks 240 00:17:18.640 --> 00:17:22.759 like Lashly tells him, you know, call me if you ever need any 241 00:17:22.839 --> 00:17:27.680 advice, and Hayes said, nah, I think I'm good. I was 242 00:17:27.720 --> 00:17:34.000 the first round draft pick. Last week I wrestled the WWE champion. So 243 00:17:34.079 --> 00:17:37.880 Lashly called him big time and said, look, it's not about the shots 244 00:17:37.880 --> 00:17:42.720 you shoot, it's about the shots that you make. And Hayes asked Lashly, 245 00:17:44.119 --> 00:17:48.400 so when was the last time that you shot your shot? Of course, 246 00:17:48.160 --> 00:17:52.720 Lashly didn't like that very much, and Hayes went to go leave. 247 00:17:52.839 --> 00:17:57.240 Lashly stopped him and offered him some free advice. Be careful who you disrespect. 248 00:18:00.640 --> 00:18:04.720 Already making enemies here on this show is Carmelo Hayes. Oh, we 249 00:18:04.759 --> 00:18:08.720 have some breaking news here. We have some breaking news here. During the 250 00:18:08.759 --> 00:18:15.519 stream, the Green pianists in the chat is hereby declaring for the King of 251 00:18:15.559 --> 00:18:19.119 the Ring tournament. So we have yet another person declaring for the King of 252 00:18:19.119 --> 00:18:23.119 the Ring. There you go, there you go. It's like a virus. 253 00:18:23.160 --> 00:18:30.640 It starts to spread. One person declares. Now everybody wants to fucking 254 00:18:30.720 --> 00:18:34.960 unbelievable. We have the authors of Pain against the New Catch Republic, Pete 255 00:18:36.039 --> 00:18:41.039 Dunn and Tyler bait ACoM and done. They started things out. Done had 256 00:18:41.039 --> 00:18:45.400 controlled early until ACoM caught him in mid air. Bait tagged in hit a 257 00:18:45.400 --> 00:18:51.119 series of European uppercuts until ACoM clotheslined the hell out of him. Razarre tagged 258 00:18:51.160 --> 00:18:52.960 in, lifted Bait up. Bait fought out of it though, and tried 259 00:18:52.960 --> 00:18:57.000 to suit flex him, and that did not work out so well. Didn't 260 00:18:57.000 --> 00:19:03.119 work out too well. Not then stay tuned. The crowd started rallying behind 261 00:19:03.160 --> 00:19:08.960 Tyler Bait. Rizar worked a bear hug on Bait until Bait wiggled out. 262 00:19:10.039 --> 00:19:11.880 He got the hot tag to Pete Dunn, who came in. He worked 263 00:19:11.880 --> 00:19:18.960 over both members of AOP and that ended with a sliced bread on Rizar. 264 00:19:18.640 --> 00:19:25.079 So Tyler Bait tags in and he picks up Razar and he slowly begins to 265 00:19:25.279 --> 00:19:30.200 hoist this man up on his shoulders, and everybody in leone started losing their 266 00:19:30.240 --> 00:19:36.319 minds and many did the airplane spin on the big guy. Huge reaction duntagged 267 00:19:36.359 --> 00:19:37.880 and he had a running knee strike. Acomb, though, broke up the 268 00:19:38.039 --> 00:19:44.000 pen attempt that followed Bait and Dune. They executed the finger joint manipulation spot 269 00:19:44.079 --> 00:19:47.839 on Acum. Scarlet hopped up on the apron because she and carry and Cross 270 00:19:47.880 --> 00:19:49.799 were out there in their corner with Paul Ellering, who does not speak. 271 00:19:49.960 --> 00:19:53.640 He does nothing. He stands there. He has not said a word, 272 00:19:53.960 --> 00:19:56.960 he has not cut a promo. He has a very stoic look on his 273 00:19:57.039 --> 00:20:02.319 face. You could put the original Michael Meyer's Halloween mask on him. That's 274 00:20:02.359 --> 00:20:04.759 all emotionless and shit, and that would basically be Paul Ellering. Just draw 275 00:20:04.759 --> 00:20:08.480 a little mustache on it. You know. He was a favor higher for 276 00:20:08.559 --> 00:20:11.720 Triple A. Triple AH brought him into NXT. He didn't do much there 277 00:20:11.759 --> 00:20:15.680 either, but at least he would cut promos from time to time. You 278 00:20:15.720 --> 00:20:18.359 know, back in his day, he was a pretty good promo. I 279 00:20:18.400 --> 00:20:22.640 know he's probably in his seventies at this point, but still, I don't 280 00:20:22.680 --> 00:20:26.240 know why the man never speaks. Why not utilize the gift that God gave 281 00:20:26.319 --> 00:20:30.039 him. I don't know. But he was out there as well with Carrion 282 00:20:30.079 --> 00:20:36.720 and Scarlet. Scarlett gets up on the apron and that distracts the referee as 283 00:20:36.960 --> 00:20:41.720 Carrying Cross assaults Tyler Bait on the outside and then back inside aop hit their 284 00:20:41.759 --> 00:20:48.000 finish on Pete Dunn and they picked up the win another match helped by a 285 00:20:48.039 --> 00:20:52.839 hot crowd. I love the reaction that Bait got when he finally lifted Rizara 286 00:20:52.920 --> 00:20:56.559 up on his shoulders. That was great. Now keep in mind here, 287 00:20:56.960 --> 00:21:02.960 both of these teams were drafted to I don't think that this means we're in 288 00:21:03.039 --> 00:21:07.160 for an extended program between the two. There could always be a rematch, 289 00:21:07.240 --> 00:21:10.680 I guess based on what happened here. I bring this up though, because 290 00:21:10.720 --> 00:21:15.119 Newcatch Republic is a babyface team. Mis and Our Truth are the World Tag 291 00:21:15.119 --> 00:21:19.839 Team Champions on Raw. They are a babyface team. Every team on Raw 292 00:21:21.440 --> 00:21:26.599 is a babyface team with one exception, and that exception as of Monday, 293 00:21:26.599 --> 00:21:33.039 when the rosters lock is AOP. AOP is officially the only heel team on 294 00:21:33.119 --> 00:21:37.599 Monday Night Raw, if you don't count the Judgment day, because they're not 295 00:21:37.680 --> 00:21:41.119 really a team, and dominic Us out for the next six to eight weeks. 296 00:21:41.160 --> 00:21:45.759 See he can't even team up with JD McDonough right now, They're going 297 00:21:45.839 --> 00:21:49.519 to have to do something about that. That is not sustainable to have a 298 00:21:49.519 --> 00:21:55.079 tag team division, since you split the titles and have one heel tag team, 299 00:21:55.480 --> 00:22:00.880 and that healed team of all teams is AOP. Good not good. 300 00:22:00.920 --> 00:22:07.440 Somebody's gonna have to go heal. Might I suggest the Creed Brothers. But 301 00:22:07.519 --> 00:22:10.960 even if they go Heal, you still need at least one more. Can't 302 00:22:11.039 --> 00:22:17.200 have one heel tag team. That's ridiculous. So backstage, Nick all this 303 00:22:17.440 --> 00:22:22.200 was in his office when Paul Hayman walks in and Hayman asks him. He 304 00:22:22.240 --> 00:22:26.480 says, did you get my memo? And all this says I did, 305 00:22:26.839 --> 00:22:33.240 says request denied, because you want me to pull Randy Orton and Kevin Owens 306 00:22:33.279 --> 00:22:40.240 out of their match tomorrow. He said why. Hayman said, fine, 307 00:22:40.559 --> 00:22:42.720 leave them in the damn match. What happens to them tomorrow is not on 308 00:22:42.759 --> 00:22:48.319 my conscience. It's on your conscience. And he goes to leave, walks 309 00:22:48.319 --> 00:22:52.799 off camera, and all this says is that by orders of the tribal chief. 310 00:22:55.640 --> 00:22:57.839 Hayman walks back into the camera. He's got a smile on his face. 311 00:22:57.880 --> 00:23:02.480 He goes, that's it's not funny, and all this says, what 312 00:23:03.240 --> 00:23:07.359 says you said all communications of the bloodline and Roman reigns must go through Paul 313 00:23:07.400 --> 00:23:12.200 Haman. So are you in charge? And Hayman says, there's a difference 314 00:23:12.200 --> 00:23:18.880 between being in charge and being in control. I haven't even spoken to Roman 315 00:23:18.920 --> 00:23:26.200 Reigns since WrestleMania. And you could see the look on his face at that 316 00:23:26.400 --> 00:23:32.359 moment. He realizes that he has done fucked up by admitting that, and 317 00:23:32.440 --> 00:23:37.640 all this says, I'm sorry, what did you just say? You haven't 318 00:23:37.759 --> 00:23:44.839 spoken with Roman Reigns since WrestleMania. So when he pulled himself out of the 319 00:23:44.960 --> 00:23:51.119 draft last week, and then Hayman interrupted him and said, Roman Reigns did 320 00:23:51.160 --> 00:23:57.000 not withdraw himself from the WWE draft. I pulled Roman Reigns from the WWE 321 00:23:57.119 --> 00:24:02.920 draft. You have to understand what's going on here. He says, I 322 00:24:03.000 --> 00:24:07.400 have no choice, or I had no choice. I cannot subject Roman Reigns 323 00:24:07.400 --> 00:24:11.319 to the chaos that is going on within the Bloodline right now, and you 324 00:24:11.359 --> 00:24:15.759 can't subject Kevin Owens and Randy Orton to what awaits them at Backlash at the 325 00:24:15.799 --> 00:24:19.720 hands of the Bloodline. So all this says, well, you know what, 326 00:24:19.759 --> 00:24:23.720 Paul, if you can pull Roman Reins out of the draft, you 327 00:24:23.720 --> 00:24:26.960 can try to pull Randy Orton and Kevin Owens out of their match. And 328 00:24:27.039 --> 00:24:32.160 he tells Hayman that you can do it on the RKO Show, which is 329 00:24:32.200 --> 00:24:41.240 coming up next interesting little slip up there by Paul Hayman admitting that he is 330 00:24:41.279 --> 00:24:47.079 the one who pulled Roman Reigns from the WWE draft last week. I would 331 00:24:47.160 --> 00:24:51.960 imagine if let's think about this, Okay, let's think about this for a 332 00:24:52.039 --> 00:24:56.119 second. What did he say here? He said that I have not spoken 333 00:24:56.119 --> 00:25:02.440 to Roman Reigns since Wrestle many of forty. If that is true, and 334 00:25:02.559 --> 00:25:06.400 Hayman said that he took it upon himself to withdraw Roman on his own, 335 00:25:07.079 --> 00:25:11.039 well, apparently Roman Rains had pulled himself anyway, because Roman Reigns did not 336 00:25:11.160 --> 00:25:15.160 show up at the building last week. So when you really dig deep and 337 00:25:15.200 --> 00:25:18.599 think about it, doesn't really make a whole lot of sense. If Roman 338 00:25:18.640 --> 00:25:22.920 didn't pull himself, he would have been there. Obviously he wasn't there, 339 00:25:23.039 --> 00:25:27.839 But Hayman is taking credit for doing it himself. But again, what would 340 00:25:27.880 --> 00:25:33.440 Paul Haman like think about the story here? What would Paul Hayman have to 341 00:25:34.799 --> 00:25:41.480 protect Roman Reigns from if what Toma Tonga said a few weeks ago when he 342 00:25:41.519 --> 00:25:47.359 confronted Hayman in the hallway in the back after they murdered Jimmy Ussel, and 343 00:25:47.480 --> 00:25:51.720 he walked up to Hayman, and he said by orders of the tribal chief. 344 00:25:52.720 --> 00:25:56.319 If what he was saying was true, then the tribal chief is Roman 345 00:25:56.359 --> 00:26:00.960 Reigns. That means Roman gave the order, which of course you and I 346 00:26:00.079 --> 00:26:06.519 both know he probably didn't. But if that's the case, Roman would have 347 00:26:06.559 --> 00:26:11.359 nothing to be afraid of here, right unless there is another tribal chief, 348 00:26:11.640 --> 00:26:17.519 which clearly there is another tribal chief here who's being a referenced there by Tomatanga. 349 00:26:18.559 --> 00:26:25.240 All signs here ultimately point to the Rock being involved pulling the strings, 350 00:26:25.640 --> 00:26:30.720 manipulating things, evidently the way he tried to manipulate things behind the scenes going 351 00:26:30.720 --> 00:26:36.400 into WrestleMania this year. All signs point to a bloodline civil war. Right. 352 00:26:36.440 --> 00:26:37.640 We could have figured that out a few weeks ago. I mean I 353 00:26:37.640 --> 00:26:41.880 put it in the fucking thumbnail. I said, bloodline civil wars about to 354 00:26:41.119 --> 00:26:45.480 erupt. Now it's going to be a slow burning civil war because Roman Reigns 355 00:26:45.519 --> 00:26:49.079 is gone for months. Rock is gone for months. Who knows when we're 356 00:26:49.079 --> 00:26:53.480 going to see Rock again, And so all these things have to play out 357 00:26:53.519 --> 00:26:59.079 without the two key players in this story even around to be on television. 358 00:26:59.240 --> 00:27:02.240 So they're going to take their time with this. It's going to take a 359 00:27:02.240 --> 00:27:06.640 while for things to play out the way that it does, but it feeds 360 00:27:06.799 --> 00:27:12.720 nicely into this story of a brewing, bloodlined civil war. Paul Hayman right 361 00:27:12.759 --> 00:27:17.400 now is a man with no power. He hasn't spoken to Roman Reigns. 362 00:27:18.200 --> 00:27:22.200 He can't give any orders to Solo, Sucola or Tomatonga because they don't respect 363 00:27:22.279 --> 00:27:25.880 him and they don't listen to him. And that's the position now that Paul 364 00:27:25.880 --> 00:27:27.920 Hayman is in on this show. He is a man basically with no power. 365 00:27:30.200 --> 00:27:33.319 So what is going to happen with Paul Hayman? Where ultimately is his 366 00:27:33.880 --> 00:27:37.119 loyalty going to lies? It's still going to be with Roman Reigns when he 367 00:27:37.160 --> 00:27:40.839 comes back. Is he gonna flip and be on the other side with the 368 00:27:40.880 --> 00:27:44.359 new bloodline? You know, one thing that Hayman you think about his career 369 00:27:44.400 --> 00:27:47.279 he's always been very good about, you know, is moving on to the 370 00:27:47.319 --> 00:27:49.559 next big thing. It was Brock. Then he betrayed Brock and he went 371 00:27:49.599 --> 00:27:56.240 with Big Show. Ultimately he went back to Brock. He was with Punk 372 00:27:56.319 --> 00:28:00.559 for a while. After Brock lost to WrestleMania, he thought Brock was done. 373 00:28:00.599 --> 00:28:03.359 He hitched his wagon to Roman Reigns. Right. He's a survivor. 374 00:28:03.440 --> 00:28:07.720 That's why he's like a cockroach. That's why he survived as long as he 375 00:28:07.799 --> 00:28:14.480 has. That's the story they're telling, and very interesting to see what the 376 00:28:14.519 --> 00:28:17.759 next chapter of this story is going to be. I think I know what 377 00:28:17.839 --> 00:28:19.880 the next chapter of this story, or at least the next character in the 378 00:28:19.920 --> 00:28:22.599 existing chapter of this story, is going to be. I think we're going 379 00:28:22.640 --> 00:28:27.359 to see him a backlash tomorrow. But we had the first ever RKO show 380 00:28:29.200 --> 00:28:37.359 with Randy Orton and Kevin Owens that followed this segment. Here Owens spoke in 381 00:28:37.559 --> 00:28:41.920 French to the crowd, which of course they went crazy for because they they 382 00:28:41.960 --> 00:28:45.480 love it when you get somebody who speaks in their native tongue. Orton and 383 00:28:45.519 --> 00:28:48.680 Owens they sat in chairs in the ring. You know the format of the 384 00:28:48.720 --> 00:28:52.400 Kevin Owens show. This was no different. Orton stood up and he was 385 00:28:52.440 --> 00:28:56.079 all fired up from this crowd. Like. He stood up and he said, 386 00:28:56.079 --> 00:29:02.559 this crowd is so freaking amazing, and everybody went crazy for Randy Orton. 387 00:29:02.640 --> 00:29:06.400 That made them even louder. Orton said that they're going to kick the 388 00:29:06.400 --> 00:29:12.480 Bloodlin's Acid backlash Owens explained that you know, he kept getting phone calls all 389 00:29:12.519 --> 00:29:18.559 week long. That's like me too, I too get phone calls all week 390 00:29:18.599 --> 00:29:22.920 long from telemarketers. I pick up the phone. It's in Chinese. I 391 00:29:22.960 --> 00:29:26.319 can't understand what they're saying. That's when I make the mistake of picking up 392 00:29:26.359 --> 00:29:30.279 the phone. Most of the time, I don't supposed to be on some 393 00:29:30.400 --> 00:29:34.480 do not call list. Apparently that doesn't work. In the case of Kevin 394 00:29:34.519 --> 00:29:37.359 Owens, though, he was getting calls all week long from Paul Hayman. 395 00:29:38.400 --> 00:29:44.119 So finally on Wednesday, at four o'clock in the morning, he relents, 396 00:29:44.160 --> 00:29:45.759 He sees the name on the caller ID he doesn't want to answer it. 397 00:29:47.279 --> 00:29:52.400 He relents and he answers the phone and it's a call from Paul Hayman, 398 00:29:52.559 --> 00:29:57.279 who asked to be a guest on the RKO show. So Owens asked Orton 399 00:29:57.359 --> 00:30:02.480 if he wants to do the honors and introduced the wise Men. Hayman, 400 00:30:02.519 --> 00:30:06.400 though, walks out on his own, no music, doing his ladies and 401 00:30:06.440 --> 00:30:14.400 gentlemen bit that he usually does. Hayman said that he came out with respect, 402 00:30:14.759 --> 00:30:19.519 admiration and wisdom. He got into the ring. Owen said the told 403 00:30:19.640 --> 00:30:23.160 Orton, look, you can't r ko and right away, and Orton said 404 00:30:23.200 --> 00:30:26.640 no, no, I'm more of an out of nowhere kind of guy, 405 00:30:27.039 --> 00:30:30.440 and Haymon got the message. At that point, he slowly walked back out 406 00:30:30.440 --> 00:30:34.799 of the ring and just opted to stand on the apron instead. The crowd 407 00:30:34.839 --> 00:30:41.200 interrupted him with chants of we want Roman, and Haymon said, I want 408 00:30:41.279 --> 00:30:45.359 Roman reigns too. He said, look, I have great respect for you 409 00:30:45.480 --> 00:30:51.640 two men, but the rules with Tomatonga and Solo's Sokoa are very different, 410 00:30:52.400 --> 00:30:56.519 and he asked Owens and Orton to do themselves and their fans and their families 411 00:30:56.720 --> 00:31:00.920 a favor and back out of the match of backlash. Owen said that Hayman 412 00:31:02.000 --> 00:31:06.359 is not really in a position to give advice because everything around him is falling 413 00:31:06.400 --> 00:31:11.680 apart. Orton asked Hayman who the real tribal chief is, and Hayman said, 414 00:31:11.680 --> 00:31:15.519 look, you're putting me in a very difficult position. And the whole 415 00:31:15.559 --> 00:31:19.519 world knows there is only one tribal chief. And before he could say anything 416 00:31:19.559 --> 00:31:25.839 more than that, Tomatonga and Solo Socoa they ambush Orton it Owens from behind. 417 00:31:26.839 --> 00:31:30.680 A brawl between all four men broke out officials spilled out to try to 418 00:31:30.720 --> 00:31:33.680 break them up, and that was the entire segment. It was a fun 419 00:31:33.720 --> 00:31:37.599 segment. I love what they're doing with Hayman right now because he is caught 420 00:31:37.640 --> 00:31:41.759 between a rock, well, in a matter of speaking, a rock and 421 00:31:41.839 --> 00:31:45.640 a hard place. Rights, that's where his character is trapped right now. 422 00:31:47.599 --> 00:31:53.160 Him just walking out there and being deathly afraid of Tomatonga and Solo Socoa is 423 00:31:53.200 --> 00:31:59.359 getting over Tomatonga and Solo Socoa. Like, there are different ways that people 424 00:31:59.359 --> 00:32:01.480 can get over. They can get over just because they come out and cut 425 00:32:01.759 --> 00:32:07.279 really good promos. Maybe there's a cool factor to them. Maybe they go 426 00:32:07.359 --> 00:32:09.519 on a wind streak. Right. There are guys that have gotten over by 427 00:32:09.519 --> 00:32:14.359 going undefeated. Right, There's a lot of ways that people can get over 428 00:32:15.279 --> 00:32:19.559 on a wrestling show. It's a very unique talent to have somebody like a 429 00:32:19.599 --> 00:32:22.279 Paul Hayman. And this is a talent that some of the great managers of 430 00:32:22.319 --> 00:32:27.039 all time have had, Bobby Heenan and Paul Hayman and Jim Cornett and many 431 00:32:27.079 --> 00:32:30.680 others, Jimmy Hart, where just by the way they act, just by 432 00:32:30.720 --> 00:32:36.079 their mannerisms, just by the tone of their voice, their facial expressions, 433 00:32:36.079 --> 00:32:40.839 whether it's fear or anger or whatever emotion it might be. They can help 434 00:32:40.880 --> 00:32:45.559 get other people over a certain way. In this case by Hayman coming out 435 00:32:45.599 --> 00:32:50.200 every week and looking like some kind of abuse victim, like he's got PTSD. 436 00:32:50.720 --> 00:32:53.640 He comes out there, she's shaking, he looks terrified. He's getting 437 00:32:53.680 --> 00:32:59.279 over the fact that these two men are dangerous. They're dangerous, they're unpredictable. 438 00:32:59.319 --> 00:33:01.799 You don't know what the going to do next. I have no control 439 00:33:01.839 --> 00:33:07.559 over them. It's like Dario Quato on Lucha Underground when he had his brother, 440 00:33:07.640 --> 00:33:10.079 the monster Matanza, that he would literally lock away in a cell and 441 00:33:10.079 --> 00:33:13.920 then he would unlock the cell. He would come out right and he would 442 00:33:14.000 --> 00:33:16.200 usually guide him. He had like a key around the neck. But there 443 00:33:16.200 --> 00:33:21.880 are times where you lose control of that monster that's helping to get these guys 444 00:33:21.880 --> 00:33:24.920 over. Tomatonga has not even wrestled the match yet. Tomataga has yet to 445 00:33:24.920 --> 00:33:30.279 have a single match on WWE television, and already he comes out there and 446 00:33:30.319 --> 00:33:37.519 he's being portrayed as this dangerous badass. So that's his way of helping to 447 00:33:37.559 --> 00:33:40.319 get them over, and I think it's very smart. Once we get Jacob 448 00:33:40.359 --> 00:33:44.559 Fatu in there, which I think is going to happen in less than twenty 449 00:33:44.559 --> 00:33:47.960 four hours. We're gonna get Jacob Fatu added to this new blood line. 450 00:33:49.680 --> 00:33:52.079 That's going to change the game because Jacob fa Tu, if you are not 451 00:33:52.200 --> 00:33:58.000 familiar with him, Jacob Fatu is fantastic. He's going to fit like a 452 00:33:58.079 --> 00:34:00.839 glove, like the glove that Tomatonga was wearing on his hand tonight when he 453 00:34:00.920 --> 00:34:06.039 came out to attack these two men. He's gonna fit like a glove. 454 00:34:06.119 --> 00:34:08.840 He should have been in the bloodline a long time ago. And I look 455 00:34:08.880 --> 00:34:13.000 at someone like a Jacob Fatu, and I say, that's a Paul Hayman 456 00:34:13.039 --> 00:34:17.320 guy. I don't know if at some point that might happen where Paul fully 457 00:34:17.360 --> 00:34:22.000 embraces him and or they break off and he becomes a true Paul Hayman guy. 458 00:34:23.199 --> 00:34:27.480 Maybe it doesn't happen. But I look at a Jacob Fatu and I 459 00:34:27.519 --> 00:34:30.719 say, that could be a future Paul Hayman guy. What Hayman and Roman 460 00:34:30.760 --> 00:34:35.840 reigns have been for the past three and a half years, four years, 461 00:34:36.400 --> 00:34:40.000 That could be Paul Hayman and Jacob Fatu. And then eventually we get Jacob 462 00:34:40.039 --> 00:34:49.880 fa Tuo against Roman Rains very easily work. We had La Knight one on 463 00:34:49.880 --> 00:34:55.519 one with Angel of Legato del Fantasma. They hit La Knight's music and holy 464 00:34:55.639 --> 00:35:00.519 shit, did this crowd explode for this man, to the the point where 465 00:35:00.519 --> 00:35:02.760 when La Knight came out, he was looking around like even he was surprised, 466 00:35:02.800 --> 00:35:07.159 like, holy fucking shit, I wasn't expecting that. It's just it's 467 00:35:07.199 --> 00:35:12.639 funny to me because you hear people who say, oh, he's not as 468 00:35:12.679 --> 00:35:15.880 over as he was six months ago, And it is true that in a 469 00:35:15.920 --> 00:35:20.159 lot of buildings when they hit his music and he comes out, the reactions 470 00:35:20.159 --> 00:35:22.679 are a little more muted, just a little bit than they used to be. 471 00:35:23.800 --> 00:35:29.039 We all know why that is. It's nothing that he's done. They 472 00:35:29.079 --> 00:35:32.400 put him in the ring with Roman Reigns in November and he lost, and 473 00:35:32.440 --> 00:35:37.920 then they didn't really have any planned for They beat him. It took the 474 00:35:37.079 --> 00:35:40.079 entire bloodline to do it, but they beat him, and then they had 475 00:35:40.360 --> 00:35:45.119 nothing for La Knight didn't even get that US title match. I was hoping 476 00:35:45.159 --> 00:35:47.960 he would get it. Wrestle me. He gotta win at least over AJ 477 00:35:49.079 --> 00:35:52.679 Styles, and then he lost to AJ Styles a few weeks ago, which 478 00:35:52.719 --> 00:35:58.000 is why AJ is challenging for the title tomorrow and La Knight is not this 479 00:35:58.199 --> 00:36:01.159 right here. This is a glorified squash with Night winning with the BFT. 480 00:36:01.880 --> 00:36:05.880 It was what it needed to be to get him back in the win column 481 00:36:05.880 --> 00:36:12.719 coming off that loss to AJ, and he ended up declaring for the King 482 00:36:12.760 --> 00:36:15.239 of the Ring when this was over. So when the match was over, 483 00:36:15.679 --> 00:36:22.559 La and I grabbed a microphone and he said he wants to talk to us. 484 00:36:22.800 --> 00:36:27.039 He says, the same song plays no matter where they go. Another 485 00:36:27.119 --> 00:36:31.639 dummy dropped on his head and three the hard way. He's not going to 486 00:36:31.760 --> 00:36:36.199 say that this is his ring. He's going to make this his ring, 487 00:36:37.239 --> 00:36:43.039 and he's going to do that by entering the King of the Ring. Santos 488 00:36:43.079 --> 00:36:45.880 Ascobar gets a microphone. He interrupts him, and he warns that he will 489 00:36:45.920 --> 00:36:50.280 be the one winning King of the Ring. Yeah all right, well, 490 00:36:50.320 --> 00:36:52.760 hey, we all need goals in life. I suppose, right. Yeah, 491 00:36:52.800 --> 00:36:55.920 he's not winning King of the Ring, but he thinks he's going to. 492 00:36:58.039 --> 00:37:00.840 Knight admits, look, yeah, I do talk a little bit too 493 00:37:00.880 --> 00:37:04.360 much, but the people like it. Escobar should be happy that he talks, 494 00:37:04.440 --> 00:37:07.480 because when he's done talking. That's when you get stomped out. Then 495 00:37:07.519 --> 00:37:13.039 you find out where you find yourself laying on the mat thinking what in the 496 00:37:13.079 --> 00:37:16.079 world was I doing? Well? The whole world reminds you that this is 497 00:37:16.239 --> 00:37:19.800 La Knight's game. And then he did his little bit at the end and 498 00:37:19.840 --> 00:37:25.119 got the crowd to chantalong. But just when you think did he hear the 499 00:37:25.199 --> 00:37:30.920 chatter that this man has lost a lot of steam over these last six months, 500 00:37:30.960 --> 00:37:35.119 he walks out there and gets a reaction like the one that he got. 501 00:37:35.320 --> 00:37:37.719 Now, everybody on this show got a pretty damn good reaction, men, 502 00:37:37.800 --> 00:37:42.599 the women, this one though, when they hit his music, maybe 503 00:37:42.719 --> 00:37:46.039 more than any other. Even when Randy Orton's music hit he came out, 504 00:37:46.079 --> 00:37:52.440 this place went nuts. So it is very apparent that La Knight is still 505 00:37:52.559 --> 00:38:00.239 very much over. And I still think that Gunther or Drew McIntyre are more 506 00:38:00.400 --> 00:38:04.360 likely to win King of the Ring. I think because they're more likely to 507 00:38:04.440 --> 00:38:08.320 be challenging for the World Heavyweight title before La Night ever challenges for the WWE 508 00:38:08.440 --> 00:38:14.440 title, So I think that's a lot more likely. But he is another 509 00:38:14.480 --> 00:38:16.800 big name to add to the tournament, and if he's not gonna win, 510 00:38:16.880 --> 00:38:21.000 I hope they have a plan for him coming out of it, because you 511 00:38:21.079 --> 00:38:25.280 have somebody here who gets a superstar reaction like that and is still over, 512 00:38:27.079 --> 00:38:30.000 and you want to make sure that you have him doing something that is meaningful, 513 00:38:30.039 --> 00:38:34.320 that looks like it's leading somewhere where you can watch as a fan and 514 00:38:34.320 --> 00:38:37.199 say, Okay, I think I know where they're going with this. You 515 00:38:37.239 --> 00:38:39.280 know, I want to see them build to him and Logan Paul for example, 516 00:38:39.320 --> 00:38:43.760 maybe it's SummerSlam. I just want to make sure they have some kind 517 00:38:43.760 --> 00:38:46.360 of plan for him and they don't squander what they still have in him. 518 00:38:47.239 --> 00:38:51.840 I was worried about the same thing, especially going into WrestleMania, when it 519 00:38:51.880 --> 00:38:57.079 looked like they're not gonna have shit for this guy. They're gonna squander whatever, 520 00:38:57.159 --> 00:39:00.639 you know, goodwill they built up with him, and they have yet 521 00:39:00.800 --> 00:39:05.199 yet being the keyword, I don't see him winning King of the Rain, 522 00:39:05.320 --> 00:39:07.119 but he doesn't have to. As long as they have a plan for him 523 00:39:07.159 --> 00:39:13.840 coming out of it, then he'll be okay. We got a video recapping 524 00:39:13.880 --> 00:39:17.480 the turn last week that we saw when the footage was aired from many weeks 525 00:39:17.519 --> 00:39:22.800 ago before a WrestleMania even of Dragonly being attacked. It turned out to beat 526 00:39:22.800 --> 00:39:28.320 Carlito, who attacked him in the back. So Live Here Byron Saxon is 527 00:39:28.360 --> 00:39:30.800 in the back to interview Carlito, who's still wearing an LWO shirt. He 528 00:39:30.840 --> 00:39:35.760 got drafted with the entire LWO. They're all going a raw. He is 529 00:39:35.800 --> 00:39:37.800 still technically part of the group, even though he beat up one of its 530 00:39:37.840 --> 00:39:43.199 members last week. And he said he wants to know why, like, 531 00:39:43.360 --> 00:39:46.599 why did you do that? Why did you attack Dragonly? And he says, 532 00:39:46.599 --> 00:39:51.280 you know, I was away from WWE for many years and all I 533 00:39:51.320 --> 00:39:55.719 wanted was a WrestleMania moment, and when Raymistereo chose dragon Lee over me, 534 00:39:57.760 --> 00:40:01.719 that wasn't cool. So he took matters into his own hands, and at 535 00:40:01.719 --> 00:40:07.880 that point, Dragon Lee showed up and he attacked Carlito. So we'll get 536 00:40:07.920 --> 00:40:10.280 that as a TV match, probably sometime in the next few weeks. I 537 00:40:10.360 --> 00:40:14.320 don't think he you know, could they enter them into the King of the 538 00:40:14.400 --> 00:40:16.320 Ring and have them wrestle in the King of the Ring? I don't even 539 00:40:16.360 --> 00:40:21.280 think that's necessary. Nobody believes Dragon Lee or Carlito are winning King of the 540 00:40:21.360 --> 00:40:23.400 Ring. You can get a TV match out of it. Again, they're 541 00:40:23.440 --> 00:40:27.400 all going to raw. This is going to play out for a while. 542 00:40:27.639 --> 00:40:31.719 You'll get Carlito against Dragon Lee, You'll get Carlito against Raymis THEEO. But 543 00:40:31.760 --> 00:40:37.400 it's still very weird that he is technically considered part of the LWO. Despite 544 00:40:37.400 --> 00:40:42.800 what happened last week. We had a town down under Austin Theory and Grayson 545 00:40:42.840 --> 00:40:46.840 Waller the WWE Tag Team champions. Oh I love those belts. I do 546 00:40:46.920 --> 00:40:50.719 love those new belts. I just wish there was a little bit of blue 547 00:40:50.719 --> 00:40:54.480 there in the middle, especially for SmackDown. But that's okay. The belts 548 00:40:54.480 --> 00:41:01.320 still look good. Theoryan Waller against the Street Profits for the WWE Tag team 549 00:41:01.360 --> 00:41:07.119 titles. Waller in Theory. They jump started the match and attacked the Profits. 550 00:41:07.679 --> 00:41:12.960 Street Profits quickly came back. Montese Ford dropped Waller with a rock bottom. 551 00:41:13.440 --> 00:41:16.000 Then Angelo Dawkins tagged in. He went to the top hit a swanton 552 00:41:16.079 --> 00:41:21.000 bomb Theory and Waller. They were on the outside. Ford hit a swanton 553 00:41:21.119 --> 00:41:24.039 onto both of them and then back inside. Waller was the victim of a 554 00:41:24.239 --> 00:41:31.679 double back souplex. Every One's brow It's Samoa Bro courtesy of our friend fire 555 00:41:31.760 --> 00:41:37.000 pand thank you fire Panned for the super chat. I'm going to read yours 556 00:41:37.079 --> 00:41:40.559 and everyone else is here in just a few minutes, so Hank tight After 557 00:41:40.599 --> 00:41:46.719 a break, Ford was hitting Theory with a whole flurry of moves. Waller 558 00:41:46.800 --> 00:41:52.280 tagged in, went to the top rope, hit an accidental coast to coast 559 00:41:52.599 --> 00:41:58.599 on Angelo Dawkins. Uh so what happened here? This was very awkward montes 560 00:41:58.679 --> 00:42:04.639 Ford moved out of the way. Dawkins had been laying down on the opposite 561 00:42:04.639 --> 00:42:08.079 side of the ring, up against the ropes, so when he dove off 562 00:42:08.719 --> 00:42:14.039 and Ford moved, he ended up colliding with Dawkins, and he kind of 563 00:42:14.239 --> 00:42:16.960 he more so caught Dawkins's leg than anything else. I'm not even sure he 564 00:42:17.000 --> 00:42:22.079 was supposed to. Maybe he was, maybe he wasn't. It just came 565 00:42:22.119 --> 00:42:27.960 off very awkward. So I'm not sure exactly what was supposed to happen there, 566 00:42:27.960 --> 00:42:31.119 but it was just very strange. So Theory pulled Ford outside the ring. 567 00:42:31.199 --> 00:42:35.960 Theory of Waller went for a pair of rolling maneuvers. Dawkins, though 568 00:42:36.000 --> 00:42:43.320 countered them both. Actually he pounced Theory out of mid air and he got 569 00:42:43.320 --> 00:42:45.440 some good height on that, so that was good. The prophets hit a 570 00:42:45.480 --> 00:42:50.159 tandem blockbuster on Austin Theory. They got a nice near fall out of that. 571 00:42:50.360 --> 00:42:52.559 Dawkins lifted Theory and Ford went to the top. Theory worked out of 572 00:42:52.559 --> 00:42:57.320 it though, and crouched him. Dawkins rolled up Theory, but the referee 573 00:42:57.360 --> 00:43:00.920 did not see it, and Waller hit Dawkins with a rolling flatliner. Theory 574 00:43:00.960 --> 00:43:07.280 than penn Dawkins to retain the titles. How many times have the Street profits, 575 00:43:08.039 --> 00:43:13.519 I'd say, over the past year challenge for the tag team titles on 576 00:43:13.599 --> 00:43:16.599 either brand and lost. I feel like it's happened quite a number of times, 577 00:43:17.159 --> 00:43:21.360 and every single time they seem to come up on the losing end of 578 00:43:21.440 --> 00:43:25.880 things. This is very strange. Match had a lot of heat due to 579 00:43:25.920 --> 00:43:30.800 the hot crowd and Waller and Theory. I I look at them and I 580 00:43:30.800 --> 00:43:35.320 think they're a good pair of pest champions. They're very good at being pests, 581 00:43:36.400 --> 00:43:39.880 so they're doing their job. They're doing a fine job in that regard. 582 00:43:39.920 --> 00:43:44.079 They work well together. I think it's a good spot for them to 583 00:43:44.079 --> 00:43:50.599 be in. And the show closed with one final face to face confrontation here 584 00:43:50.639 --> 00:43:55.079 between Champion and Challenger. Going into Backlash tomorrow, the WWE Champion Cody Rhodes 585 00:43:55.559 --> 00:44:00.760 and the number one contender, AJ Styles. Cody spoke to the crowd in 586 00:44:00.880 --> 00:44:07.920 French and they all loved it. AJ interrupted and they did not like that. 587 00:44:08.480 --> 00:44:12.360 And then they started to make a lot of random noise. That's the 588 00:44:12.360 --> 00:44:15.119 best way I can describe it. They weren't chanting anything in particular, they 589 00:44:15.159 --> 00:44:20.719 weren't singing a song yet. They just started making a lot of really just 590 00:44:21.119 --> 00:44:27.639 loud noise. And then they had the panout shots so you could see everybody. 591 00:44:27.760 --> 00:44:30.840 It's like the building was almost shaking. They just started going nuts for 592 00:44:30.920 --> 00:44:37.760 no reason. So AJ said, look, what I was gonna say is 593 00:44:37.800 --> 00:44:42.440 it's like Cody isn't focused right now, not focused on what he should be 594 00:44:42.480 --> 00:44:46.199 focused on. And Cody said, AJ has his attention to Georgia boys. 595 00:44:46.559 --> 00:44:51.280 He grew up in the state of Georgia watching AJ cut him off at that 596 00:44:51.280 --> 00:44:52.679 point and said, look, I don't need that crap. Okay, I 597 00:44:52.679 --> 00:44:54.599 don't need you to tell me. Oh, I watched you when I was 598 00:44:54.639 --> 00:44:59.239 a kid. I don't need to hear any of that. I may be 599 00:44:59.360 --> 00:45:02.199 older than you, but I'm still in my prime. Cody was just like, 600 00:45:02.599 --> 00:45:07.320 I didn't say that, you weren't the fans at that point started to 601 00:45:07.480 --> 00:45:13.039 chant what. I couldn't tell if they were chanting it in French or now, 602 00:45:13.039 --> 00:45:16.480 but clearly they were doing like a what chant here and it got AJ. 603 00:45:17.320 --> 00:45:21.760 He kind of reacted to it, but he stumbled over his words, 604 00:45:21.840 --> 00:45:24.480 so he let him get to him. But then he recovered. After that, 605 00:45:24.519 --> 00:45:30.119 he collected himself, he got back on track. Then they started singing 606 00:45:30.159 --> 00:45:35.519 the Olay song. AJ said that Cody loved it here until things got a 607 00:45:35.559 --> 00:45:38.679 little rough, talking about the first time he was in the company. Things 608 00:45:38.679 --> 00:45:44.280 got a little rough and he couldn't handle it, if you know what I 609 00:45:44.360 --> 00:45:51.119 mean. And AJ at that point did the stardust hand signal gesture whatever it 610 00:45:51.199 --> 00:45:55.719 was. He said. Cody packed his bags and left for AJ. He 611 00:45:55.800 --> 00:45:59.840 was kept out of WWE for years, and when he finally came, he 612 00:46:00.119 --> 00:46:02.960 is not welcome with open arms in the way that Cody was. He had 613 00:46:04.000 --> 00:46:09.159 to work his way to the top all by himself, unlike Cody who had 614 00:46:09.199 --> 00:46:15.079 Hall of Famers and legends watching his back at WrestleMania so that he could finish 615 00:46:15.239 --> 00:46:20.519 his story. A bunch of guys that I've beaten before, I beat them 616 00:46:20.559 --> 00:46:22.440 all the same way that I'm going to beat you with backlash, said, 617 00:46:22.440 --> 00:46:25.840 he's going to find a way to the top again and remind Cody and everybody 618 00:46:25.840 --> 00:46:31.559 else that he is phenomenal. I'll tell you what, he's in phenomenal shape 619 00:46:31.760 --> 00:46:36.239 if you have not seen him. And WWE puts something up on their YouTube 620 00:46:36.320 --> 00:46:39.159 channel, AJ from his house. He did the cold plunge. He's got 621 00:46:39.159 --> 00:46:43.880 that tough to do the cold plunge. I see everybody doing the cold plunge. 622 00:46:44.400 --> 00:46:47.119 Apparently this is a big trend now. But he did that. And 623 00:46:47.239 --> 00:46:52.639 they show him doing jump rope and he's in his gym working out. This 624 00:46:52.719 --> 00:46:54.159 guy is I mean, he's fucking jacked. I mean he is in the 625 00:46:54.159 --> 00:46:59.719 best shape of his life at the age of forty six. Cody asked him, 626 00:47:00.079 --> 00:47:02.840 who are you trying to convince? Said, certainly not me. I've 627 00:47:02.880 --> 00:47:07.360 called you the modern day excellence of execution. I called you a first ballot 628 00:47:07.360 --> 00:47:09.840 Hall of Famer, he said, But don't tear me down just to make 629 00:47:09.880 --> 00:47:15.239 yourself feel better. And he says his very first title defense happens to be 630 00:47:15.519 --> 00:47:22.639 their very first match together. The crowd was singing something I could not tell 631 00:47:22.800 --> 00:47:27.519 exactly what it was. That they were singing, but Cody did not let 632 00:47:27.599 --> 00:47:31.079 it breathe. He just kept talking because clearly he knew that they were running 633 00:47:31.079 --> 00:47:34.559 low on time and they had to wrap this up. So he just kept 634 00:47:34.599 --> 00:47:37.159 cutting his promo. But it was so loud that it was hard to hear. 635 00:47:37.199 --> 00:47:40.599 He had to really kind of pay attention to what he was saying because 636 00:47:40.599 --> 00:47:45.440 it was deafening in that building. But he said, tomorrow, he's not 637 00:47:45.480 --> 00:47:52.039 looking at ajas phenomenal, He's looking at him as his first and that that 638 00:47:52.920 --> 00:47:59.039 is too sweet, and he did the too sweet hand gesture. Cody dropped 639 00:47:59.039 --> 00:48:02.559 the mic. Aj threw up the too sweet, but instead of two sweeting 640 00:48:02.639 --> 00:48:07.119 him, he smacked the taste out of Cody's mouth and then he left the 641 00:48:07.199 --> 00:48:14.159 ring. Then this was not the end because then they cut to the back. 642 00:48:14.320 --> 00:48:16.280 We got some shaky cam here. They cut to the back. At 643 00:48:16.360 --> 00:48:21.519 least we didn't have the camera cuts. There is a difference between the constant 644 00:48:21.599 --> 00:48:25.159 camera cuts that we were subjected to for years and shaky cam. This was 645 00:48:25.199 --> 00:48:30.679 shaky cam. The cameraman catches up to all the mayhem in the back because 646 00:48:30.800 --> 00:48:35.320 Randy Orton, Kevin Owens, Solo, Socoa and Tomatonga are still brawling. 647 00:48:35.840 --> 00:48:38.639 They're still trying to break these four guys up. Solo tries to use a 648 00:48:38.719 --> 00:48:43.280 chair on Randy Orton, he avoids it. Orton gets the chair, hits 649 00:48:43.360 --> 00:48:45.480 him in the gut, hits him in the back, and that's how they 650 00:48:45.559 --> 00:48:53.400 went off the air. If this crowd is as hot tomorrow for Backlash as 651 00:48:53.440 --> 00:48:58.800 they were here for SmackDown, there is no and there's no reason to think 652 00:48:58.840 --> 00:49:01.880 that they won't be. This is going to be like Backlash in Puerto Rico 653 00:49:02.000 --> 00:49:06.719 last year, and Backlash in Puerto Rico last year was one of my favorite 654 00:49:06.760 --> 00:49:12.360 shows of the entire year. That whole atmosphere and that building that night, 655 00:49:12.440 --> 00:49:15.639 from the moment that Bianca and Eo came out to open that pay per view, 656 00:49:16.239 --> 00:49:21.760 through Bad Bunny and Damian Priest and everything else on that show was on 657 00:49:22.679 --> 00:49:28.880 fire. And it really does affect your perception of the show. It could 658 00:49:28.920 --> 00:49:31.239 take a good show to a great show. It could take a mundane show 659 00:49:31.280 --> 00:49:36.599 to a pretty good show. It's amazing how that enthusiasm and that volume, 660 00:49:36.639 --> 00:49:39.280 the decibel level in the building could make such a difference. But it's just 661 00:49:39.480 --> 00:49:44.679 fun fun when they're into it that much and they're reacting to everything, even 662 00:49:44.679 --> 00:49:47.159 the things that normally hear in this country people would be sitting on their hands 663 00:49:47.199 --> 00:49:52.199 for to them, they're having fun with it. So I think that tomorrow 664 00:49:52.320 --> 00:49:54.039 is going to be a very fun show for that, if nothing else, 665 00:49:54.119 --> 00:49:58.159 because if you look at it on paper, it's not the strongest lineup on 666 00:49:58.239 --> 00:50:00.559 paper that they put together. There's some good on there, but it's not 667 00:50:00.599 --> 00:50:06.559 like a blowaway lineup or anything like that. But with that crowd fired up, 668 00:50:07.559 --> 00:50:10.079 tomorrow is going to be a lot of fun. Speaking of tomorrow, 669 00:50:10.559 --> 00:50:16.480 let's get into Backlash here because we've got Backlash predictions to go through now. 670 00:50:16.519 --> 00:50:21.559 I did these earlier in the week. My predictions have not changed and they 671 00:50:21.599 --> 00:50:23.760 have not added any matches. And maybe the most surprising thing to me is 672 00:50:23.760 --> 00:50:30.199 that I look over this card. This is not a joint pay per view 673 00:50:30.559 --> 00:50:35.039 in that you have like an even split of raw and SmackDown. There is 674 00:50:35.119 --> 00:50:39.320 exactly one raw match on this show. This is basically a SmackDown, pl 675 00:50:39.519 --> 00:50:44.119 is what this is, which is very surprising to me. I thought they 676 00:50:44.119 --> 00:50:45.840 would add one more match, maybe a raw match. They didn't do that. 677 00:50:46.400 --> 00:50:50.159 But here's the lineup. We have, the Kabuki Warriors, defending the 678 00:50:50.199 --> 00:50:55.000 women's tag team titles against Bianca bel Air and Jade Cargill. Always a chance 679 00:50:55.119 --> 00:51:00.400 that Bianca and Jade don't win and they choose to take Bianca and really push 680 00:51:00.440 --> 00:51:06.239 her towards Bailey instead. I just don't see these two losing. I don't 681 00:51:06.280 --> 00:51:09.039 see any chance of it realistically. So I'm going with Bianca and Jade to 682 00:51:09.039 --> 00:51:14.920 win the women's tag team titles. We have Randy Orton and Kevin Owens teaming 683 00:51:14.960 --> 00:51:21.119 up to take on the team of Solo Sokoa and Tama Tanga. No reason 684 00:51:21.119 --> 00:51:22.920 that the blood Line should lose this match, but you know they're not gonna 685 00:51:22.920 --> 00:51:25.480 win fair and square. So how do they win? I think this is 686 00:51:25.519 --> 00:51:30.360 where we get the debut of Jacob Fatu. This is where they get their 687 00:51:30.400 --> 00:51:32.880 newest member. He helps them win. Solo and Tama pick up the w 688 00:51:34.519 --> 00:51:37.079 and now we're off to the races because now we have Solo, we have 689 00:51:37.199 --> 00:51:40.480 Tama, and we have Fatu, and Paul Hayman has no idea what's going 690 00:51:40.519 --> 00:51:45.559 on. And that means that when we get closer to the point where Roman 691 00:51:45.599 --> 00:51:47.960 Reigns is ready to come back, he's going to have to make amends with 692 00:51:49.000 --> 00:51:52.760 his cousins. He's going to have to get together and reunite with the Usos. 693 00:51:52.039 --> 00:51:57.320 The USOS themselves are going to have to let bygones be bygones and get 694 00:51:57.360 --> 00:52:00.519 back together, at least for the purpose of this program. They can still 695 00:52:00.599 --> 00:52:04.760 use Jay Uso as a single if they want to, But the end goal 696 00:52:04.840 --> 00:52:09.679 here is Roman, Jimmy and Jay back together because Roman needs his blood taking 697 00:52:09.719 --> 00:52:15.719 on Solo Tama and Jacob Fatu, and that could be the Wargames match come 698 00:52:15.760 --> 00:52:21.039 Survivor series. There's any number of ways they could go with this. Fat 699 00:52:21.079 --> 00:52:22.920 two is under contract. Fat two is ready to debut, and I think 700 00:52:22.920 --> 00:52:27.599 it happens tomorrow unless for some reason he can't be, you know, travel 701 00:52:27.639 --> 00:52:30.400 overseas to be there for the show. But I don't see any reason why 702 00:52:30.400 --> 00:52:32.360 that would be the case at this point. I think, I think that's 703 00:52:32.360 --> 00:52:38.360 fine. We have Bailey defending the WWE Women's Championship in a triple threat match 704 00:52:38.360 --> 00:52:45.880 against both Naomi and Tiffany Stratton. Love Tiffany. I think she's going to 705 00:52:45.920 --> 00:52:51.159 be a huge star. I'm booking I have her winning the Money in the 706 00:52:51.199 --> 00:52:58.079 bank, turning that briefcase pink, but winning the Women's title right now. 707 00:52:58.719 --> 00:53:01.639 I don't see it. I think it's a little premature. I think it 708 00:53:01.719 --> 00:53:06.559 a triple threat match. She doesn't even necessarily need to be the one to 709 00:53:06.599 --> 00:53:08.760 take the losing fall. But it also puts Bailey in a position where she 710 00:53:08.800 --> 00:53:13.159 doesn't have to be pinned to lose her title. So there may be a 711 00:53:13.159 --> 00:53:15.519 little bit of drama here, but to me, I think Bailey is going 712 00:53:15.559 --> 00:53:17.159 to walk out with the belt. I don't think you could take that title 713 00:53:17.199 --> 00:53:22.119 off of Bailey anyway until this story with Bianca plays out, and they've really 714 00:53:22.159 --> 00:53:28.440 been playing that up. It doesn't really work as well if Bailey is not 715 00:53:28.519 --> 00:53:30.320 the champion. I feel like she has to be the champion. Bianca needs 716 00:53:30.360 --> 00:53:34.960 to go after her at some point. Bailey is not losing this title. 717 00:53:36.400 --> 00:53:40.320 We have Damian Priest defending the World Heavyweight title, the one Monday Night raw 718 00:53:40.400 --> 00:53:45.559 match that we have on this show tomorrow, defending against main event Jay Uso. 719 00:53:46.719 --> 00:53:51.679 Initially I thought that maybe Fatu would debut and he would cost Jay the 720 00:53:51.760 --> 00:53:53.800 title. This is going to have to be a way to bring Jay back 721 00:53:53.840 --> 00:53:58.559 into this at some point, but you could wait and do that with Roman. 722 00:53:58.679 --> 00:54:01.840 When Roman is ready to come back. I don't know what Shenanigans are 723 00:54:01.880 --> 00:54:07.840 going to be involved here, something involving the judgment day. I suppose I 724 00:54:07.880 --> 00:54:12.519 cannot see Damian Priest losing the World Heavyweight title at least before Clash at the 725 00:54:12.559 --> 00:54:15.920 Castle. I don't see Jay Usso is not going to be the World Heavyweight 726 00:54:16.000 --> 00:54:22.760 champ, So Damian Priest will retain, and then we have the undisputed WWE 727 00:54:22.840 --> 00:54:29.079 Championship on the line. It is Cody Rhodes defending his title against the phenomenal 728 00:54:29.159 --> 00:54:32.639 aj Styles for the first time in a very long time back in the world 729 00:54:32.679 --> 00:54:37.159 title picture. I couldn't even tell you the last time that I remember AJ 730 00:54:37.360 --> 00:54:44.239 Styles in a pay per view main event getting a title opportunity for any title, 731 00:54:45.639 --> 00:54:49.440 let alone the WWE title. Maybe the last time he lost it to 732 00:54:49.519 --> 00:54:52.079 John Cena in twenty seventeen. Actually, no, he had the title after 733 00:54:52.119 --> 00:54:57.800 that. He had the title for his feud with Knakamura, So maybe it 734 00:54:57.840 --> 00:55:00.000 goes back to that. Maybe it goes back to the Shinski Nakamora stuff, 735 00:55:00.039 --> 00:55:07.039 but even that was many many years ago. So Cody Roase losing his title 736 00:55:07.079 --> 00:55:12.639 in his very first title defense, I don't think so. I don't think 737 00:55:12.679 --> 00:55:16.199 so. I don't need the odds makers to tell me that Cody is probably 738 00:55:16.199 --> 00:55:20.480 the odds on favorite to walk out here with the title. What I will 739 00:55:20.519 --> 00:55:22.880 tell you, I'm picking Cody Roads to win. But what I will tell 740 00:55:22.880 --> 00:55:29.440 you is I could see this being either a no contest and Cody retains or 741 00:55:29.440 --> 00:55:32.880 a disqualification finish. I don't think this will be the only time we see 742 00:55:32.920 --> 00:55:37.159 these two in the ring together. You know, you've got the Saudi Show 743 00:55:37.199 --> 00:55:39.000 coming up next month. The focus is going to all be on King and 744 00:55:39.079 --> 00:55:43.039 Queen of the Ring, it's the name of the show. But they're probably 745 00:55:43.039 --> 00:55:45.000 gonna want Cody to defend the title on that show. I would imagine you 746 00:55:45.039 --> 00:55:50.440 can get another match out of it between these two and throw a stipulation in 747 00:55:50.480 --> 00:55:54.000 there, whatever it may be. Whatever that stipulation may be, I don't 748 00:55:54.039 --> 00:55:58.960 see this being the only time they go at it. So having Cody just 749 00:55:58.960 --> 00:56:04.440 beat him clean with the cross Roads, I have a difficult time seeing that 750 00:56:04.480 --> 00:56:07.360 he's not gonna lose the title here. But there could be some funny business 751 00:56:07.719 --> 00:56:12.400 as far as the finish is concerned, and that then leads into a rematch. 752 00:56:12.880 --> 00:56:16.079 Because one thing coming out of this draft that is very clear Cody Rhodes 753 00:56:17.079 --> 00:56:22.719 does not have a lot of viable challengers on SmackDown. He does not not 754 00:56:22.840 --> 00:56:27.119 without turning someone, whether it be Kevin Owens or Randy Orton or La Knight, 755 00:56:27.159 --> 00:56:29.760 And that I would not be doing. Did you hear that fucking reaction 756 00:56:29.840 --> 00:56:32.000 that guy got tonight? Do not turn La Knight? Not yet? That 757 00:56:32.039 --> 00:56:37.679 would be very dumb. So who is there? Me? You're gonna have 758 00:56:37.719 --> 00:56:40.760 Cody feud with the blood Line again? He probably will at some point, 759 00:56:40.800 --> 00:56:45.079 but it would be way too soon for that, and you certainly don't want 760 00:56:45.119 --> 00:56:50.119 to send Solo Sokoa or a Jacob Batu in there and have them lose. 761 00:56:51.639 --> 00:56:54.599 So take the blood Line out of it for a second. Why wouldn't you 762 00:56:54.639 --> 00:56:58.960 try to get at least two matches out of this AJA feud. It gets 763 00:56:58.960 --> 00:57:01.960 you through another month, and then when you get to June you start to 764 00:57:02.000 --> 00:57:05.639 get to money in the bank. Then you could think about, Okay, 765 00:57:05.639 --> 00:57:09.360 who's next? Is it? Randy Orton? It would be a sin if 766 00:57:09.360 --> 00:57:14.199 they don't do Cody and Randy at some point, But you do it now? 767 00:57:14.239 --> 00:57:16.000 Do you wait? Because I could see Cody and Randy being the Summer 768 00:57:16.039 --> 00:57:20.039 Slam match. If Rock is not coming back for Summer Slam. Cody Roads 769 00:57:20.039 --> 00:57:22.800 and Randy Orton. Hey makes all the sense in the world to me. 770 00:57:23.079 --> 00:57:25.559 Randy could be a baby face, he could be a heel. It works 771 00:57:25.599 --> 00:57:30.199 either way. You get past Randy Orton, there aren't a lot of viable 772 00:57:30.239 --> 00:57:34.880 contenders for that title. That's going to be a problem unless they start building 773 00:57:34.920 --> 00:57:37.719 people up or the gms work out some trades. Just because the draft is 774 00:57:37.760 --> 00:57:43.320 over does not mean the general managers cannot trade people back and forth. I 775 00:57:43.320 --> 00:57:45.719 thought braun Stroman, for example, would work as a great challenger for Cody 776 00:57:45.719 --> 00:57:51.440 at some point later this year. He's on raw, doesn't mean he can't 777 00:57:51.440 --> 00:57:58.119 be traded over to SmackDown. We'll see how the gms utilize the trades, 778 00:57:58.159 --> 00:58:01.880 which I believe they are going to do trades. They're gonna have to because 779 00:58:01.920 --> 00:58:06.400 it's pretty pretty barren on that side. When it comes to challenger. Yeah, 780 00:58:06.440 --> 00:58:08.960 you could turn lashly. That's true. Again, they may have no 781 00:58:09.079 --> 00:58:15.480 choice because once you get past aj and you get past Randy Orton, I 782 00:58:15.519 --> 00:58:20.360 mean, what else do you got unless you start turning people. You know, 783 00:58:20.480 --> 00:58:22.760 you don't have much. You don't have much to go on here. 784 00:58:24.079 --> 00:58:29.840 What did you think of SmackDown here from France. Seventy nine percent of you 785 00:58:29.920 --> 00:58:35.000 have given this show tonight a thumbs up, twelve point seven percent thumbs in 786 00:58:35.039 --> 00:58:37.760 the middle, eight percent thumbs down. Boy, you guys seem to really 787 00:58:38.039 --> 00:58:45.840 have liked SmackDown tonight. Could probably thank the crowd for that. I know. 788 00:58:45.920 --> 00:58:50.000 That's why I like SmackDown tonight. Now, though I thought it was 789 00:58:50.039 --> 00:58:52.599 a good go home show. Like I said before, I think the key 790 00:58:52.639 --> 00:58:57.679 matches they needed to really hype up that one last bit of hype before tomorrow. 791 00:58:58.639 --> 00:59:00.079 I thought they did a good job of that. The rest of the 792 00:59:00.079 --> 00:59:05.599 show was very missible, but those two things I thought ended up being very 793 00:59:05.639 --> 00:59:07.840 good. Now, before I get into your super chats and again, if 794 00:59:07.880 --> 00:59:10.119 you want to get them on in, now is the time to do so, 795 00:59:10.559 --> 00:59:14.199 and to hit that like button as well. We're going to try to 796 00:59:14.199 --> 00:59:15.360 do be the booker. I don't know where we are at this point. 797 00:59:16.400 --> 00:59:20.920 The goal tonight was four hundred likes. We're currently sitting at three forty five, 798 00:59:21.039 --> 00:59:22.440 so we're getting there. We're not there yet, but we're getting there. 799 00:59:22.480 --> 00:59:27.880 But I made a very special announcement, a cool announcement the other night 800 00:59:28.119 --> 00:59:31.559 for those of you who may have missed it. Starting this Tuesday, May 801 00:59:31.679 --> 00:59:36.880 seventh, I'm going to be joining JD from New York on his channel every 802 00:59:36.960 --> 00:59:43.039 Tuesday night live at eight thirty pm Eastern Time for Tuesday Night Titans. I 803 00:59:43.039 --> 00:59:46.840 am the new co host for TNT. Shout out to Andrew bay Dalla, 804 00:59:46.960 --> 00:59:51.480 the former co host with JD. Andrew's a friend of mine and had to 805 00:59:51.480 --> 00:59:54.199 step away from the show. Very honored to be stepping in, and it's 806 00:59:54.239 --> 00:59:59.960 going to be a very lively active debate and discussion. I'm sure every tea 807 01:00:00.000 --> 01:00:04.119 Tuesday talk and wrestling, all kinds of topics, all kinds of stories. 808 01:00:04.800 --> 01:00:07.320 And Jad and I have been commentary partners in House of Glory now for over 809 01:00:07.360 --> 01:00:12.840 five years. I've known him for a while now, and for the first 810 01:00:12.880 --> 01:00:15.760 time the two of us are going to be collaborating. A lot of people 811 01:00:15.840 --> 01:00:17.239 have asked for it, a lot of people were very excited. I got 812 01:00:17.280 --> 01:00:22.360 to tell you, I was very overwhelmed, frankly by the reaction to it. 813 01:00:22.400 --> 01:00:24.880 I knew people would be excited for it, but I think I underestimated 814 01:00:25.480 --> 01:00:29.719 how happy and how excited people would be for it. So it makes me 815 01:00:29.760 --> 01:00:35.159 feel good because it is another commitment you know I'm going to be streaming now 816 01:00:35.199 --> 01:00:38.239 on Mondays Tuesday. Well, I'm not technically screaming, but doing a show 817 01:00:38.280 --> 01:00:43.440 on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and sometimes Saturdays and Sundays for 818 01:00:43.480 --> 01:00:45.639 pay per views, plus my podcast on Sundays. So it's going to be 819 01:00:45.639 --> 01:00:47.679 a lot of work, but I think it's going to be a lot of 820 01:00:47.679 --> 01:00:52.840 fun and I want you guys to join me for that first show. I 821 01:00:52.960 --> 01:00:57.440 want that first show to just blow the whole fucking thing wide open. We 822 01:00:57.559 --> 01:01:00.280 need to have thousands of people joining us live that first show on Tuesday. 823 01:01:00.360 --> 01:01:02.760 So whatever you do, make sure you mark it on your calendar. You 824 01:01:02.800 --> 01:01:08.880 clear out your schedule eight thirty Eastern time over on his channel live for TNT. 825 01:01:09.039 --> 01:01:12.639 It's gonna be a lot of fun and hopefully I'll see you guys over 826 01:01:12.679 --> 01:01:21.079 there for Titans. Titans. Yes, busy Solemn Monster, Solomonster is very 827 01:01:21.079 --> 01:01:28.639 busy. Somebody has to counterbalance, you know, I mean, my god, 828 01:01:28.719 --> 01:01:31.119 sometimes the fucking vein in the side of his forehead looks like it's gonna 829 01:01:31.119 --> 01:01:35.039 pop. I don't want him to have a fucking aneurysm. Somebody has to 830 01:01:35.079 --> 01:01:39.199 be there to counter this. Man think I'm the man for the job. 831 01:01:40.000 --> 01:01:43.800 Well, we'll find out, all right, Let's take a look at your 832 01:01:43.840 --> 01:01:49.960 super chats. Thank you as always for the support, say it all the 833 01:01:50.000 --> 01:01:53.400 time. I will always thank you guys for sticking with me. Here. 834 01:01:54.480 --> 01:01:58.039 Let's start with some of the early ones and then we'll go through the list 835 01:01:58.119 --> 01:02:04.000 that you see here on screen. Let's art out with Joshua Edwards, who 836 01:02:04.079 --> 01:02:14.320 says Wingstop commercial feeds families that Wingstop commercial is going to drive somebody I think 837 01:02:14.320 --> 01:02:17.480 into an absolute rage one day and they're going to lose their minds and just 838 01:02:17.519 --> 01:02:23.239 go on a rampage. I hope I'm wrong, but that no flex zone. 839 01:02:23.440 --> 01:02:27.519 I hear it in my sleep and it's kind of driving me a little 840 01:02:27.519 --> 01:02:31.519 batty. I'm not gonna lie Jay Glow with the nine to ninety nine says 841 01:02:31.559 --> 01:02:38.559 the Wrestling Observer newsletter report about Roman and Paul Hayman politicking Vincent Hunter to retain 842 01:02:38.639 --> 01:02:46.159 the WWE title and WrestleMania thirty nine infuriates me to no it. Joe is 843 01:02:46.199 --> 01:02:53.639 a two faced weasel, backstage politician. In my opinion, f you Joe, 844 01:02:55.079 --> 01:03:00.719 So he has gone in on roman reigns. Here turned on Roman reigns 845 01:03:01.559 --> 01:03:08.320 based on a report from the Wrestling Observer newsletter that may or may not be 846 01:03:08.440 --> 01:03:15.039 true. Meltzer has had a rough time recently with some of the things that 847 01:03:15.079 --> 01:03:17.559 he has reported. All I will say to you, Jay Glow is, 848 01:03:17.559 --> 01:03:22.400 don't believe everything you hear. I'm not even sure why we're still talking about 849 01:03:22.440 --> 01:03:27.679 the planning for the Wrestle Meeting a forty main event. It's oh, it's 850 01:03:27.760 --> 01:03:32.360 done. Cody finished his story. He's the champion. Roman did the job. 851 01:03:34.280 --> 01:03:37.039 Should it have happened last year? Probably it didn't, but it happened 852 01:03:37.039 --> 01:03:40.480 this year. It's over now. Why are we still debating this? Why 853 01:03:40.480 --> 01:03:46.800 are we still talking about this? Don't be so angry about it. Kentucky 854 01:03:46.880 --> 01:03:52.199 dried Chicken. The passion by the Leone crowd is white hot. Yes it 855 01:03:52.280 --> 01:03:59.519 is, Yes, it is white hot. Prince Mageta with the nineteen ninety 856 01:03:59.599 --> 01:04:04.440 nine saw a report today that I can't believe from the Wrestling Observer newslam Dave 857 01:04:04.480 --> 01:04:09.960 said that WWE has no definite plans for Cody and that if Roman would come 858 01:04:10.039 --> 01:04:15.599 back to WWE tomorrow, they would throw the belt right back on him. 859 01:04:16.360 --> 01:04:26.599 What are your thoughts again? Don't believe everything that you hear. I don't 860 01:04:26.639 --> 01:04:30.880 buy that for a second. I don't buy the WWE has no plans for 861 01:04:30.960 --> 01:04:35.800 Cody Rhoads. Do they have a lack of depth on the SmackDown side as 862 01:04:35.800 --> 01:04:40.559 far as challengers for him right now? They do, That does not mean 863 01:04:40.559 --> 01:04:45.840 they have no plan for it. I don't believe that WWE planned this whole 864 01:04:45.880 --> 01:04:49.840 story with Cody Rhodes has to come back and fight his way back to WrestleMania 865 01:04:49.840 --> 01:04:54.320 and win the Royal Rumbule and go to Mania and beat Roman Reigns win the 866 01:04:54.360 --> 01:04:58.079 undisputed title, and then they said, oh shit, we forgot to figure 867 01:04:58.079 --> 01:05:01.840 out what comes after wrestlemane. I mean, do you honestly believe they have 868 01:05:02.000 --> 01:05:05.559 no plans for their top star in the company? Like I could understand them 869 01:05:05.599 --> 01:05:10.400 having no plans for Giovanni Vinci. Okay, poor fucking guy. I don't 870 01:05:10.440 --> 01:05:14.480 know. You know, I would feel a little a little scared if I 871 01:05:14.480 --> 01:05:19.239 were him, that I can believe. Do they have plans for Joaquin Wilde 872 01:05:19.280 --> 01:05:24.320 and Cruise del Toro? Okay, maybe not, But they have no plans 873 01:05:24.320 --> 01:05:27.039 in mind for Cody Rhodes. They have no idea what they're going to do 874 01:05:27.079 --> 01:05:29.920 with their biggest star in the company, the guy that made them a million 875 01:05:29.960 --> 01:05:33.599 dollars in merchandise over WRESTLEMANI a weekend. No, I don't believe that. 876 01:05:39.920 --> 01:05:45.159 William. I completely forgot about the wrestling matches scheduled for tomorrow until I logged 877 01:05:45.199 --> 01:05:50.840 into YouTube and saw this thumbnail. Thanks Solomons, You're very welcome. That's 878 01:05:50.840 --> 01:05:55.559 what I'm here for. Jay Glow with another nine ninety nine to the Roman 879 01:05:55.599 --> 01:06:00.239 Reigns stands. Tonight was the highest grossing SmackDown in WWEE history. And you 880 01:06:00.360 --> 01:06:04.119 know who is at the top of the card. Who the quarterback is? 881 01:06:04.880 --> 01:06:13.800 Cody fin Rhoades DX Crotch Chop to you man. J Glow is on one 882 01:06:13.920 --> 01:06:18.719 tonight. He is not having any of this. Jay Glow is feeling a 883 01:06:18.719 --> 01:06:25.559 certain way here tonight. I love the enthusiasm Jay Glow. He's passionate. 884 01:06:25.599 --> 01:06:30.760 He's very passionate. If nothing else, I will say that Rod of his 885 01:06:30.880 --> 01:06:34.760 prime. It says Happy Friday solo. By the way, Deaf rebel sucks, 886 01:06:35.159 --> 01:06:40.280 Yes, they do. You know, for every good Deaf rebel theme, 887 01:06:40.400 --> 01:06:44.880 there's like seven bad ones. I mean, look, Roman Reigns current 888 01:06:44.920 --> 01:06:47.559 theme is a Deaf rebel theme. And I like Roman's current theme. But 889 01:06:47.679 --> 01:06:53.440 again, for every good or decent Deaf Rebel song, there's at least half 890 01:06:53.519 --> 01:07:00.599 a dozen terrible ones. And the WWE music situation want to call it, 891 01:07:00.679 --> 01:07:04.920 I would call it a situation crisis. The WWE music crisis right now has 892 01:07:05.079 --> 01:07:09.880 never been as bad as it is right now, and it's it sucks because 893 01:07:09.920 --> 01:07:15.320 the entrance music is such an important part of someone's character, you know, 894 01:07:15.360 --> 01:07:18.079 from the moment it first hits when they walk out there, and it just 895 01:07:18.519 --> 01:07:21.960 doesn't hit the way that it used to, and there's no reason for it. 896 01:07:23.159 --> 01:07:25.920 If Triple H and Nick con wanted to make a move right now, 897 01:07:26.079 --> 01:07:28.280 they can make a move right now if they want it to. Whether it's 898 01:07:28.360 --> 01:07:31.920 Jim Johnston or somebody else, they can make a move. I've read reports 899 01:07:31.960 --> 01:07:36.960 the WWE. They're well aware, you know, they're they're they're well aware 900 01:07:38.039 --> 01:07:43.840 of the uh feedback on Deaf Rebel and how people feel about them. Okay, 901 01:07:43.880 --> 01:07:46.639 well, what are you gonna do about it? I mean, it's 902 01:07:46.719 --> 01:07:49.239 nice that they're aware of it, but are they actually gonna do something about 903 01:07:49.239 --> 01:07:59.760 it? That's my question. The Juliet best of luck to Julia Hart after 904 01:07:59.800 --> 01:08:02.840 her shoulder surgery. She was hurt going into Dynasty, That's why her match 905 01:08:02.840 --> 01:08:06.880 with Willow was so short. Well, when I reviewed Dynasty, I think 906 01:08:06.880 --> 01:08:10.639 I made that comment. I said, boy, you know, this was 907 01:08:10.679 --> 01:08:14.199 the shortest match of the night, shorter than any of the matches that she 908 01:08:14.239 --> 01:08:16.920 had had on pay per view prior to that. And I said it probably 909 01:08:16.960 --> 01:08:19.880 has to do with the shoulder, because even then there were reports that she 910 01:08:19.960 --> 01:08:26.119 hurt her shoulder in the match with Layla Hirsh And sure enough, that's exactly 911 01:08:26.199 --> 01:08:29.199 why the match was so short. I think it was like six minutes. 912 01:08:31.439 --> 01:08:36.079 Adrian with the seven bucks. Rumor has it that John Cena has been spotted 913 01:08:36.119 --> 01:08:41.279 in France. If Sena is a surprise for Backlash, how do you see 914 01:08:41.319 --> 01:08:45.720 things playing out. Potential for a Cody versus Sena clash would be legendary. 915 01:08:45.840 --> 01:08:49.560 Well, that is not going to happen. Not this year. Sena is 916 01:08:49.800 --> 01:08:56.039 all booked up in Hollywood. He did say he was hoping to clear his 917 01:08:56.079 --> 01:09:00.960 schedule around Christmas time and they would let him get a break so he can 918 01:09:00.000 --> 01:09:04.039 come back for one more proper run in WWE, and that might be his 919 01:09:04.159 --> 01:09:09.520 retirement run going into WrestleMania next year. That implies that he will not have 920 01:09:09.560 --> 01:09:12.479 a lot of free time between now and then. Certainly he can make a 921 01:09:12.520 --> 01:09:15.880 one off, but not for a program with a Cody runs. So no, 922 01:09:15.000 --> 01:09:18.239 I don't think that's what they're gonna do. When they were in London 923 01:09:18.279 --> 01:09:21.560 for Money in the Bank, John Cena made a surprise appearance there and he 924 01:09:21.640 --> 01:09:26.880 made the pitch for London to get a WrestleMania right, and then he got 925 01:09:26.880 --> 01:09:30.560 beat up by Grayson Waller, and I think he left Waller laying If John 926 01:09:30.600 --> 01:09:32.159 Cena is going to do anything on the show tomorrow, I think it's going 927 01:09:32.199 --> 01:09:36.840 to be something along those lines. I think it's going to be a one 928 01:09:36.880 --> 01:09:40.720 off. I think it's gonna be him coming out for a segment, maybe 929 01:09:40.720 --> 01:09:44.319 a heel comes out, they have a little back and forth. I don't 930 01:09:44.359 --> 01:09:46.720 think he would be there to set up a program. I don't think unless 931 01:09:46.760 --> 01:09:51.760 he's going to go ahead and try to promise a WrestleMania to France and lie 932 01:09:51.800 --> 01:09:58.960 to them the way he lied to London. Maybe again, I just can't 933 01:09:59.039 --> 01:10:01.399 understand why they would have seen it go out there the way that he did 934 01:10:01.439 --> 01:10:05.600 and make the pitch that he did. When the reports recently and Nick con 935 01:10:05.680 --> 01:10:10.119 himself. Nick con said it himself that they sat down months ago and made 936 01:10:10.119 --> 01:10:15.359 the decision that the big tent poll shows that they have the Rumble and WrestleMania 937 01:10:15.359 --> 01:10:20.479 and SummerSlam are going to be North American based. All the other events are 938 01:10:20.560 --> 01:10:25.039 up for grabs. They can have those events anywhere in the world, but 939 01:10:25.159 --> 01:10:28.880 they've already made the decision to keep events like WrestleMania here in North America. 940 01:10:29.000 --> 01:10:32.840 The US OR candidate then I see Triple H responded to the Mayor of London 941 01:10:32.920 --> 01:10:36.039 last week on Twitter who said that he was going to try to bring WrestleMania 942 01:10:36.079 --> 01:10:39.800 to the city, and he says, let's talk. So which is it. 943 01:10:40.920 --> 01:10:45.600 Are they considering locations outside of North America for WrestleMania or not. I 944 01:10:45.640 --> 01:10:47.840 mean, if they just went out there to tease it and they have no 945 01:10:47.880 --> 01:10:53.479 intention of bringing WrestleMania to London, that's cruel. Why would you do that? 946 01:10:53.520 --> 01:10:56.399 Why would you promise something to the fans if you have no intention of 947 01:10:56.439 --> 01:11:02.239 actually delivering it doesn't make sense. Draven Lord, buy or sell better, 948 01:11:02.359 --> 01:11:10.640 Lariot stan Hanson or JBL. I like the clothes line from Hell I do. 949 01:11:10.840 --> 01:11:13.640 I don't like a lot about JBL. But I always like the clothes 950 01:11:13.680 --> 01:11:16.199 line from Hell, not that I would want to be hit by a stan 951 01:11:16.239 --> 01:11:21.399 Hanson lariot. I'm gonna say jbl though, I'm gonna buy on him. 952 01:11:21.800 --> 01:11:28.399 Kentucky dried chicken without flavor. This Leon Franz crowd Tonight on SmackDown has cracked 953 01:11:28.399 --> 01:11:34.239 the top five hottest wrestling crad pops in the world. They sing people's entrances. 954 01:11:35.319 --> 01:11:39.399 Well, they're not the only ones to do that, but they were 955 01:11:39.399 --> 01:11:47.600 great. They were fantastic tonight. Shout out to retro Koh. Good to 956 01:11:47.640 --> 01:11:51.920 see Christ in the chat Alex brother solo. Do you sense a change in 957 01:11:51.960 --> 01:11:57.800 the quality of matches when WWE refers to their pay per views as pay per 958 01:11:57.920 --> 01:12:04.079 views rather than ples? No, no, it's it means the same thing. 959 01:12:04.119 --> 01:12:11.399 That has no difference whatsoever between quality of matches on one over the other. 960 01:12:11.439 --> 01:12:18.680 It's all the same, makes no difference. Doni Yasu, I guess 961 01:12:18.720 --> 01:12:25.199 Triple H said that WWE got a warning about the crowd noise tonight got a 962 01:12:25.239 --> 01:12:30.520 warning? Was that me Fire Panda with the twenty bucks? Thank you, 963 01:12:30.560 --> 01:12:36.600 Fire Panda, Thank you Donnie as well, who had the better entrance ninety 964 01:12:36.600 --> 01:12:42.359 eight Cain or ninety eight Undertaker. Also who wins in a fight one thousand 965 01:12:42.399 --> 01:12:47.319 pound polar Bear or perk Angle. You know, for better entrance, I'm 966 01:12:47.359 --> 01:12:53.720 gonna go ninety eight Undertaker. Cain had better entrances later on, I'm gonna 967 01:12:53.760 --> 01:12:56.880 go ninety eight Undertaker. If you want to see one of the coolest fucking 968 01:12:57.039 --> 01:13:00.880 entrances that you will ever see, and I'm gonna actually tell you on the 969 01:13:00.880 --> 01:13:08.239 podcast this Sunday what I think is the greatest entrance ever in wrestling history. 970 01:13:09.319 --> 01:13:13.520 We'll save that for Sunday. You want to see a badass entrance, you 971 01:13:13.560 --> 01:13:17.319 go back and you watch that Judgment Day nineteen ninety eight pay per view. 972 01:13:18.159 --> 01:13:23.199 It was in October of that year. They had Undertaker against Kane. The 973 01:13:23.239 --> 01:13:28.000 title was vacated. Steve Austin was the guest referee. Undertaker came out to 974 01:13:28.039 --> 01:13:32.880 make his entrance. Think he came out first and just that whatever version of 975 01:13:32.920 --> 01:13:36.000 his theme that he was using at that point in the fall of ninety eight 976 01:13:36.079 --> 01:13:41.760 was badass. But the image of him walking to the rain and then the 977 01:13:41.800 --> 01:13:45.680 big booms, the big concussion booms, and then the flames shooting up behind 978 01:13:45.760 --> 01:13:48.680 him like five or six times as he walked down to the ring and they 979 01:13:48.680 --> 01:13:54.600 get that shot of his face. Just the coolest fucking entrance you'll ever see. 980 01:13:55.479 --> 01:14:02.520 So for that alone, I gotta go undertake bass beers. Remember when 981 01:14:02.600 --> 01:14:06.399 Dusty told Steph to talk to the hand? Yes, I do, and 982 01:14:06.399 --> 01:14:11.880 then we didn't see Dusty again on TV. I don't think someone didn't like 983 01:14:12.000 --> 01:14:20.800 that. Jerome Eugenio is Brett versus Davy Boy the best WWE international pay per 984 01:14:20.880 --> 01:14:31.920 view main event? It might be. I'm trying to think of all the 985 01:14:31.960 --> 01:14:40.800 international shows they've had. They've had a lot of them recently. Yeah, 986 01:14:40.920 --> 01:14:49.920 you know what it might be Kentucky dried chicken without flavor, glitchy glitchy ya 987 01:14:50.039 --> 01:14:58.840 ya da da pree Old Lady Marmalade very good. Haven't heard that one in 988 01:14:58.840 --> 01:15:02.199 a while. Hasn't come up on my Pandora in a while. It's not 989 01:15:02.239 --> 01:15:08.000 on my playlist. Prince Vegeta, I know you're front runner for women's but 990 01:15:08.039 --> 01:15:11.680 who is your early men's money in the bank winner? Maybe have heel aj 991 01:15:11.840 --> 01:15:16.800 Styles win it? Well, Tiffany Stratton is gonna win it for the women. 992 01:15:17.560 --> 01:15:24.479 I don't think they would have another recent name from NXT win it. 993 01:15:24.640 --> 01:15:28.239 Like I can't see Tiffany winning the women's and then bron Breaker winning the men's 994 01:15:28.439 --> 01:15:31.920 or you know some Carmelo hayes. I don't think they would do two of 995 01:15:31.960 --> 01:15:39.920 them like that. So if Tiffany wins the women's briefcase, I mean, 996 01:15:40.079 --> 01:15:43.479 you've got a lot of different options. You could do La Night. You 997 01:15:43.479 --> 01:15:46.159 know, La Knight could win, and I mean if he were to win 998 01:15:46.199 --> 01:15:49.159 in cash in for a US title match, it would make him look like 999 01:15:49.159 --> 01:15:54.880 a fucking idiot though, So I probably wouldn't do that because I wouldn't have 1000 01:15:54.960 --> 01:15:58.479 him challenging for a world title unless he's gonna win it. He already challenged 1001 01:15:58.520 --> 01:16:00.960 for it once and lost, So unless you're sure that he's going to walk 1002 01:16:01.000 --> 01:16:03.720 out with that title, I would not have him challenging for a world title. 1003 01:16:03.760 --> 01:16:06.279 Therefore, I would not have him win money in the bank, So 1004 01:16:06.399 --> 01:16:12.800 scratch that. I don't know. I haven't given much thought to the men's 1005 01:16:12.800 --> 01:16:15.600 money in the bank winner. I just I have the women's winner in my 1006 01:16:15.680 --> 01:16:18.680 head, and I have a sense of who I think should win the men's 1007 01:16:19.640 --> 01:16:24.119 tournament next month. The King of the Ring. I think it's going to 1008 01:16:24.159 --> 01:16:28.760 be gunther Or Drew McIntyre Drew McIntyre could win King of the Ring and then 1009 01:16:28.840 --> 01:16:31.239 cash in if in fact you can cash in for a world title match, 1010 01:16:31.880 --> 01:16:35.720 cash that in it Clash at the Castle. He goes to Glasgow challenges for 1011 01:16:35.760 --> 01:16:40.640 the World heavyweight title. Maybe he wins it. I mean, I think 1012 01:16:40.680 --> 01:16:44.000 it would be crazy if he were a headline on that show and not win 1013 01:16:44.039 --> 01:16:47.960 it. Men's money in the bank is a little tougher though, I got 1014 01:16:48.079 --> 01:16:53.039 to think about that. All the people that I would want to win it 1015 01:16:53.079 --> 01:16:57.159 though, are pretty much accounted for in other ways. Yeah, like a 1016 01:16:58.079 --> 01:17:01.640 Chad Gable. He's probably gonna win the Intertinental title straight up from Sammysane. 1017 01:17:02.560 --> 01:17:05.720 He shouldn't win money in the bank anyway because he's not going to be challenging 1018 01:17:05.760 --> 01:17:15.279 for a world title. Yeah, I don't know. Prince vegeta thank you 1019 01:17:15.399 --> 01:17:21.359 for the question. Kentucky Dried Chicken says, I am making a big bold 1020 01:17:21.439 --> 01:17:28.479 prediction. Uh oh, here we go. Wwe will come to Africa to 1021 01:17:28.560 --> 01:17:31.279 host a stadium show in the future. Which country I don't know, but 1022 01:17:31.479 --> 01:17:39.119 keep this recording. They've been to South Africa before, They've done shows from 1023 01:17:39.439 --> 01:17:46.039 Johannesburg. There was an awful taped episode of Raw from three different locations. 1024 01:17:46.079 --> 01:17:50.880 That is easily the worst Raw in the history of the show, or second 1025 01:17:50.880 --> 01:17:56.840 worst behind that piece of shit episode from twenty eighteen that I ranted about. 1026 01:17:58.239 --> 01:18:00.479 Yeah, you know what, I don't put anything past them. If they 1027 01:18:00.479 --> 01:18:02.239 have a stadium big enough for it, then they'll probably end up on every 1028 01:18:02.279 --> 01:18:08.840 continent at some point. They'll end up in Antarctica at some point. Bundle 1029 01:18:08.920 --> 01:18:17.159 up, it's gonna be cold, Arabian Night two thousand. You think this 1030 01:18:17.560 --> 01:18:26.159 five minute match formula for most ples is good? Seems like there's too much 1031 01:18:26.199 --> 01:18:34.760 filler on ples with video packages. Hey, Barry, thank you. Seems 1032 01:18:34.800 --> 01:18:39.920 like there is too much filler on ples with video packages. No Icy or 1033 01:18:40.039 --> 01:18:45.479 US title matches is dumb. They have the US title and the Intercontinental title 1034 01:18:45.520 --> 01:18:50.279 now seem to be reserved for television. That's especially true on the raw side. 1035 01:18:53.279 --> 01:18:56.079 You know, one way to look at it is it allows them to 1036 01:18:56.279 --> 01:19:00.399 maine event episodes of Raw, like Sammy and Gable did in Montreal a few 1037 01:19:00.439 --> 01:19:02.880 weeks ago, So it puts the spotlight on them in a main event position. 1038 01:19:03.319 --> 01:19:05.399 I agree, though, when you have a big show like a Summer 1039 01:19:05.399 --> 01:19:13.880 Slam or a Royal rumble you should have the Intercontinental title represented all the time. 1040 01:19:14.800 --> 01:19:17.000 So I agree with you on that. The five minute match formula, 1041 01:19:17.079 --> 01:19:21.359 I don't know what you're talking about because most of the plees, I mean, 1042 01:19:21.399 --> 01:19:27.760 the matches are longer than five minutes, So I don't know exactly what 1043 01:19:27.760 --> 01:19:33.079 you're talking about there. Phil Dogg with Ethan Page done with AW, do 1044 01:19:33.119 --> 01:19:36.439 you see him going back to TNA or will he end up with WWA. 1045 01:19:38.600 --> 01:19:41.079 I don't know. I don't know what he wants to do. I think 1046 01:19:41.119 --> 01:19:44.920 that he could very well end up back in TNA, but I could also 1047 01:19:45.000 --> 01:19:49.439 see him being used in NXT. You know, he's talented. He's talented 1048 01:19:49.479 --> 01:19:55.239 and he can talk. He has a presence about him. He carries himself 1049 01:19:55.319 --> 01:20:00.319 very well. He carries himself with a certain confidence. It just wasn't working 1050 01:20:00.319 --> 01:20:02.520 out in AW. I don't blame him for wanting out. It was like 1051 01:20:02.760 --> 01:20:08.119 they had him most recently Wrestling and Ring of Honor. He was too big 1052 01:20:08.159 --> 01:20:11.680 for Ring of Honor, but there was no obvious spot for him in AW. 1053 01:20:12.119 --> 01:20:15.600 So he kind of fell into this doughnut hole, which is not the 1054 01:20:15.640 --> 01:20:17.239 place that you want to be if you want to be out there and work 1055 01:20:18.199 --> 01:20:21.680 and try to, you know, up your stock and get your name out 1056 01:20:21.720 --> 01:20:26.399 there. And clearly that wasn't happening for him, and he wasn't happy. 1057 01:20:26.439 --> 01:20:31.039 So you know, apparently he requested his release as early as February. Recently 1058 01:20:31.079 --> 01:20:34.840 he got it. Now he'll be free to go out and pursue whatever he 1059 01:20:34.880 --> 01:20:38.079 wants to pursue. Maybe we can get him on into House of Gloria. 1060 01:20:38.119 --> 01:20:41.239 I'd love to have him in hug get him in there for a match. 1061 01:20:41.279 --> 01:20:44.479 But yeah, I could definitely see him back in TNA, maybe doing something 1062 01:20:44.520 --> 01:20:48.600 with his old tag team partner Josh Alexander. Maybe they wrestle each other. 1063 01:20:50.800 --> 01:20:59.119 Prince Begeta with the four ninety nine rewatching the twenty seventeen backlash almost went to 1064 01:20:59.159 --> 01:21:01.000 that show. Would have to have been in the crowd just with the shock 1065 01:21:01.439 --> 01:21:08.239 of that gender Mahal title win. I have not seen a crowd that shock 1066 01:21:08.359 --> 01:21:14.800 since brack Lesner ended the Undertaker streak. Their faces and their reactions set it 1067 01:21:14.880 --> 01:21:18.000 all. You could read the pain on a lot of their faces. I 1068 01:21:18.079 --> 01:21:21.319 know this because I was feeling that same pain watching it from home. Then 1069 01:21:21.399 --> 01:21:31.239 Night Moise with the four ninety nine Sola Monster, so excited to see you 1070 01:21:31.640 --> 01:21:39.119 on Tuesday Night Titans with JD gonna be the best IWC podcast ever. I 1071 01:21:39.319 --> 01:21:43.560 marked out what I saw the announcement. You and a lot of other people, 1072 01:21:43.640 --> 01:21:46.199 men, a lot of people have been requesting this collaboration for a long 1073 01:21:46.239 --> 01:21:49.359 time. Now you get it on a permanent basis. But yeah, what 1074 01:21:49.520 --> 01:21:54.479 once, Once we get going with this and you you put our two heads 1075 01:21:54.520 --> 01:21:58.479 together, ain't nobody gonna be able to top what we're gonna be putting out 1076 01:21:58.520 --> 01:22:00.239 there. It's gonna be great. It's gonna be great. I'm glad that 1077 01:22:00.239 --> 01:22:04.760 you're excited for it. I am too. Uh, Mister l H says, 1078 01:22:04.800 --> 01:22:09.279 I miss CM punk. You miss CM punk. He was just on 1079 01:22:09.359 --> 01:22:12.880 TV the other night? How can you? How can you miss him? 1080 01:22:12.920 --> 01:22:15.920 He doesn't go away? He was literally he was like the best segment on 1081 01:22:16.159 --> 01:22:25.079 Raw with Drew McIntyre this week? How can you miss him? Arabian Night 1082 01:22:25.880 --> 01:22:30.119 says, say what you want about Tony Kahan. He pays for good music. 1083 01:22:31.359 --> 01:22:34.439 He does, although he also admits that he got he went way over 1084 01:22:34.479 --> 01:22:39.439 budget. That's why he had to cut some people recently. So I love 1085 01:22:39.520 --> 01:22:44.159 the I love the music he pays for too, But I mean I love 1086 01:22:44.199 --> 01:22:46.600 the music he pays for, but at the expense of people's jobs. I 1087 01:22:46.640 --> 01:22:55.880 just think it's a bad look when you admit that publicly. Kevin Dunn's Bieber 1088 01:22:57.720 --> 01:23:03.880 is joining us tonight. That Wingstop commercial makes me want to yeat myself. 1089 01:23:05.359 --> 01:23:15.199 I don't blame you, Bace Bears, Jack Perry against Tony Khan Texas Deathmatch. 1090 01:23:15.279 --> 01:23:20.119 No, please don't give Tony any ideas he's living out his dream right 1091 01:23:20.119 --> 01:23:24.479 now by taking bumps on TV. The next step after this is having a 1092 01:23:24.520 --> 01:23:28.960 proper match. Do you really want to see Tony Khan get into a ring 1093 01:23:29.000 --> 01:23:32.479 and wrestling match? You probably do, don't you? You sick free? 1094 01:23:32.600 --> 01:23:35.439 You probably want that just so I can review it. You would be looking 1095 01:23:35.479 --> 01:23:40.720 forward more to the review than the actual match. I probably would do good 1096 01:23:40.800 --> 01:23:43.319 numbers that night too, But no, I have no interest in seeing this. 1097 01:23:43.439 --> 01:23:46.079 So please, let's not wish this. Let's not talk this into existence. 1098 01:23:46.119 --> 01:23:54.800 Okay, nobody is asking for this. Arabian Night. Best Entrances Goldberg 1099 01:23:55.079 --> 01:23:59.840 Halloween Havoc ninety eight. That was a great one too. I love that 1100 01:24:00.079 --> 01:24:01.680 entrance too, with the big pumpkin. When he walks around the pumpkin, 1101 01:24:02.000 --> 01:24:04.359 they follow him all the way from the back. That's a great one. 1102 01:24:06.800 --> 01:24:12.000 Not the best entrance of all time, but that's a great one. Barry 1103 01:24:12.119 --> 01:24:15.520 Mka with the fifteen bucks. Hey, Barry, thank you. I'm about 1104 01:24:15.560 --> 01:24:19.079 to see Vengeance two thousand and five. As I continue to watch the old 1105 01:24:19.640 --> 01:24:26.359 Ruthless Aggression era shows in order, how how did you like that show? 1106 01:24:26.520 --> 01:24:31.840 Plus it's great theme happy by mud Vain. I don't remember anything other than 1107 01:24:33.079 --> 01:24:35.960 that had the Hell in a Cell right with the Triple H and Batista? 1108 01:24:36.800 --> 01:24:41.840 And did that have the second match with Shawn Michaels and Kurt Angle. If 1109 01:24:41.880 --> 01:24:45.159 I'm not mistaken, I like that. If I'm thinking of the same, 1110 01:24:45.199 --> 01:24:50.000 if I'm thinking of the right show, I did like that that show Moy's 1111 01:24:50.479 --> 01:24:57.000 with the four ninety nine. I'm always fascinated on how much historical facts you 1112 01:24:57.079 --> 01:25:00.920 remember just off the top of your head. You are like a rest historian. 1113 01:25:00.399 --> 01:25:05.560 How do you remember it all? I don't know, because sometimes I 1114 01:25:05.560 --> 01:25:09.920 don't remember what I had, you know, for breakfast two days ago, 1115 01:25:10.039 --> 01:25:13.760 But yet I can remember who Hacksaugeen dug And wrestled on this show in nineteen 1116 01:25:13.840 --> 01:25:17.000 ninety three, And I can't fucking explain. I don't know Hey, Dark 1117 01:25:17.000 --> 01:25:19.479 Side of the Ring guys, Well, what's going on here? Call me 1118 01:25:21.279 --> 01:25:25.159 if Chris Jericho if you ever need a new narrator, I'm just saying no, 1119 01:25:25.279 --> 01:25:28.359 that Jericho guy. Man, he's a little controversial. Do you ever 1120 01:25:28.399 --> 01:25:34.039 need a new narrator for the show? Hit me up? EJ. Slamp. 1121 01:25:34.119 --> 01:25:39.920 Would making being fired an option to money in the bank like TNA's feast 1122 01:25:40.039 --> 01:25:43.079 or fired? Make it interesting? Or is that a bad idea? It's 1123 01:25:43.079 --> 01:25:46.600 a bad idea unless you're actually planning on firing the person. Then nobody buys 1124 01:25:46.640 --> 01:25:53.760 it, So I think it's a bad idea. Fire Panda Wit the twenty 1125 01:25:53.760 --> 01:25:58.319 dollars super Chat. Undertaker's Judgment Day ninety eight entrance was badass, but don't 1126 01:25:58.319 --> 01:26:00.800 sleep on Caine's entrance that night. You should do a judgment Day ninety eight 1127 01:26:00.880 --> 01:26:06.479 Kane versus Undertaker. Watch along sometime. Who do the Wyat six attack tomorrow? 1128 01:26:06.560 --> 01:26:12.439 And who are the members? You seem very sure that the Wyatt six 1129 01:26:12.479 --> 01:26:16.640 are gonna be attacking anybody tomorrow. I'm not so sure of that. If 1130 01:26:16.680 --> 01:26:21.640 they were to attack anybody tomorrow, I wonder if it would be Cody. 1131 01:26:23.399 --> 01:26:28.439 I wonder if it would be Cody because again, Cody needs challengers. If 1132 01:26:28.560 --> 01:26:31.600 AJ was to be a one and done and they're going to headline the show, 1133 01:26:31.640 --> 01:26:36.560 Cody wins and that's it. Maybe the lights go out. I could 1134 01:26:36.840 --> 01:26:41.399 maybe see that. I don't know how likely that is. I don't know 1135 01:26:41.439 --> 01:26:45.760 why some people are expecting this to happen tomorrow. I feel like they're gonna 1136 01:26:45.800 --> 01:26:54.319 drag it out longer. Is this some sort of common belief that the Wyatt 1137 01:26:54.399 --> 01:27:00.319 six is going to be revealed tomorrow. Let's go to our resident Wyatt expert 1138 01:27:00.359 --> 01:27:02.479 here in the chat, Blissvan. Are you expecting the Wyatt six to appear 1139 01:27:02.560 --> 01:27:08.640 or Uncle Howdie to appear tomorrow? A backlash? I'll believe it only if 1140 01:27:08.680 --> 01:27:16.520 Blisspan believes it. Mystic Jay, who do you see winning Queen of the 1141 01:27:16.640 --> 01:27:18.920 Ring? I don't even know who's in Queen of the Ring. Nobody has 1142 01:27:19.239 --> 01:27:24.920 declared, nobody's qualified. I have no idea who is even in the tournament. 1143 01:27:26.039 --> 01:27:30.560 I think you could probably take out Jade and Bianca if we assume that 1144 01:27:30.600 --> 01:27:33.439 they're going to be a tag team or tag team champions coming out of the 1145 01:27:33.439 --> 01:27:38.520 show tomorrow. You could take out Zealina. She's not winning, you know, 1146 01:27:38.560 --> 01:27:44.199 the crown after she won the last one. Tiffany. Tiffany could me 1147 01:27:44.439 --> 01:27:46.479 personally, though again I would go money in the bank with her, So 1148 01:27:46.600 --> 01:27:50.239 I'll put Tiffany on the side here. It's not gonna be Naomi. I 1149 01:27:50.239 --> 01:27:56.520 don't think it's going to be any of the members of Damage Control. I 1150 01:27:56.520 --> 01:27:59.239 don't have the rosters in front of me. I'm trying to think of who's 1151 01:27:59.239 --> 01:28:01.840 on SmackDown right now. The key players in that women's division really would be 1152 01:28:01.920 --> 01:28:11.760 Bianca and Bailey and Jade and Naomi, Tiffany, Naya. You know what, 1153 01:28:12.039 --> 01:28:16.520 I could see Naya Jacks winning Queen of the Ring. I'm gonna go. 1154 01:28:16.600 --> 01:28:19.199 You put me on the spot here without having all the names in front 1155 01:28:19.239 --> 01:28:21.760 of me or knowing who's in it, I'll give you an early prediction. 1156 01:28:21.920 --> 01:28:30.079 I could see Naya Jack's winning based Bearus, God of Seduction. Flair was 1157 01:28:30.119 --> 01:28:38.720 not interviewed for Death of WCW documentary Wooing Stop They Know Beta also Idiocracy thumbs 1158 01:28:38.760 --> 01:28:43.960 up, Combs down, never saw it Flair with Yeah, I saw Flair. 1159 01:28:44.000 --> 01:28:46.319 He was bitching about something, you know when he's why does he posted 1160 01:28:46.399 --> 01:28:50.520 all capital fucking letters the first letter of every fucking word that he tweets is 1161 01:28:50.560 --> 01:28:56.319 in caps. What the fuck is wrong with him? I don't know why 1162 01:28:56.319 --> 01:29:00.239 it annoys me so much. You ever noticed that? Why does he do 1163 01:29:00.359 --> 01:29:03.279 that? It's got to be the programmer, like the app that he's using. 1164 01:29:05.439 --> 01:29:10.000 It's just incredibly annoying. But yeah, I know he was going off 1165 01:29:10.039 --> 01:29:13.720 about something and whatever. You know, old man yells at cloud. I 1166 01:29:13.720 --> 01:29:18.279 don't pay attention to it, Barry MK. It also had a second world 1167 01:29:18.279 --> 01:29:23.800 title match with Snut Christian and christ Jericho. Yeah, I have no memory 1168 01:29:23.800 --> 01:29:27.439 of that. I have no memory of that. I remember the other two 1169 01:29:27.479 --> 01:29:30.920 matches from Vengeance. I don't remember that one. Hoofman says Sola Monster needs 1170 01:29:30.960 --> 01:29:38.600 to be a talking head in Dark Side of the Ring next season. Probably 1171 01:29:38.640 --> 01:29:44.720 not a talking head, just because they generally go with retired wrestlers and managers. 1172 01:29:45.920 --> 01:29:48.279 If it were a WWE documentary, you know they use Sam Roberts and 1173 01:29:48.279 --> 01:29:54.079 Peter Rosenberg and people like that. Hey, that's a different story dark Side 1174 01:29:54.079 --> 01:29:57.239 of the Ring. I don't think generally that they do that. But I 1175 01:29:57.279 --> 01:30:01.640 said, hey, I'm just saying you ever need a new narrator. I've 1176 01:30:01.640 --> 01:30:08.840 watched every episode, obviously, I'm a fan of the show. Arabian night 1177 01:30:09.199 --> 01:30:13.760 Fiend debut was an all time great entrance as well. Yes, it was 1178 01:30:13.840 --> 01:30:17.199 at SummerSlam against Finn Balor. That was great. With that lantern with the 1179 01:30:17.279 --> 01:30:26.000 stretched out mouth, that was very freaky. The Juliet congrats to Seth on 1180 01:30:26.119 --> 01:30:29.600 the new contract. Yes, congratulations to Seth Rollins. He has re signed, 1181 01:30:29.640 --> 01:30:35.079 as Drew McIntyre has as well with WWE, for an undisclosed length of 1182 01:30:35.159 --> 01:30:39.720 time. It's said to be for what I'm sure is very good money, 1183 01:30:40.319 --> 01:30:44.039 and I'm sure she hasn't already. Becky Lynch will not be too far behind 1184 01:30:44.039 --> 01:30:47.479 because her contract is up in a few weeks as well. She is the 1185 01:30:47.520 --> 01:30:50.760 women's champion after all, so I'm sure they'll get her lockdown very soon. 1186 01:30:51.600 --> 01:30:57.199 Kentucky Dried Chicken. I will order Tony Kah some wing stuff, Popeye's KFC 1187 01:30:57.239 --> 01:31:00.920 and Burger King so that he cannot compete in the ring. I see. 1188 01:31:00.960 --> 01:31:04.359 I like that idea. We're gonna fatten him up so that way he will 1189 01:31:04.359 --> 01:31:10.920 be in just gross physical shape, put some meat on those bones, and 1190 01:31:10.960 --> 01:31:15.640 therefore he will not be able to properly train himself to get in the ring 1191 01:31:15.680 --> 01:31:17.399 and take bumps. See, I like the way you think, let's fatten 1192 01:31:17.439 --> 01:31:24.199 this guy up. Let's get as much trans fat and just all the bad 1193 01:31:24.239 --> 01:31:28.479 shit. Let's get as much of that in him as possible. That neck 1194 01:31:28.520 --> 01:31:30.439 brace he's gonna be, He's gonna be so swollen that neck brace won't even 1195 01:31:30.479 --> 01:31:32.720 fit his neck anymore. He won't even have a neck. It'll be like 1196 01:31:32.920 --> 01:31:35.279 King Kong. Bundy had no neck. It was like a head on top 1197 01:31:35.319 --> 01:31:40.520 of a fucking body. That's gonna be Tony Khan Fat, Tony Khan. 1198 01:31:41.119 --> 01:31:44.439 There's a gimmick for you. You know, it reminds me. Bobby Lashley 1199 01:31:44.479 --> 01:31:48.079 said he once pitched the idea to Vince McMahon. Yeah, all the people 1200 01:31:48.159 --> 01:31:51.560 recently have been making fun of Shamus for coming back and being a little bit 1201 01:31:51.600 --> 01:31:57.720 heavier, and he's already losing most of the weight. But he talked about 1202 01:31:57.760 --> 01:32:02.800 how he pitched the idea of fat like really just like stuffing himself and putting 1203 01:32:02.840 --> 01:32:08.479 on a ton of weight and doing that as a gimmick where he then has 1204 01:32:08.560 --> 01:32:12.239 to lose all the weight. And I guess Vince didn't go for it, 1205 01:32:12.279 --> 01:32:15.319 but I'm trying to like picture that in my head. Like Bobby Lashley, 1206 01:32:15.359 --> 01:32:18.520 who's in just like immaculate physical condition. He looks like a statue. Guy's 1207 01:32:18.520 --> 01:32:25.319 almost fifty years old and him just basically quitting and just eating whatever he wants, 1208 01:32:25.399 --> 01:32:30.239 some three hundred and fifty pounds walking around and then the gimmick is that 1209 01:32:30.279 --> 01:32:39.479 he has to lose all the weight. Boney. What happened to Paul Hayman 1210 01:32:39.560 --> 01:32:44.399 between getting fired from the WWE and returning in twenty twelve? Did he work 1211 01:32:44.439 --> 01:32:49.239 with another company or maybe the indies? No, he has his own company 1212 01:32:49.279 --> 01:32:54.439 called the Looking for Larry. I think it's a production company. It's based 1213 01:32:54.439 --> 01:32:58.840 out of New York, and he was doing that. I know he popped 1214 01:32:58.920 --> 01:33:00.920 up with brock lesnar one to one of his UFC fights, So I don't 1215 01:33:00.920 --> 01:33:04.520 know what else he may have been doing if he was mentoring people, but 1216 01:33:04.560 --> 01:33:09.560 he has I think he still does. He still has the Looking for Larry 1217 01:33:09.560 --> 01:33:14.079 stuff that he does, the Hayman Hustle. I think Hayman Hustle dot com 1218 01:33:14.159 --> 01:33:17.880 is still up, so he was involved in that stuff. But nothing in 1219 01:33:17.920 --> 01:33:27.680 wrestling and bass Beer is Victoria two thousand and three would have fit in today's 1220 01:33:27.800 --> 01:33:32.399 roster? Yeah? Absolutely, Victoria would fit in today's roster. From two 1221 01:33:32.479 --> 01:33:38.119 to three five. Victoria was great. Victoria should be in the Hall of 1222 01:33:38.199 --> 01:33:44.760 Fame, and I think she will be one day, all right, be 1223 01:33:44.840 --> 01:33:47.720 the booker goal was four hundred likes. We are currently sitting at four hundred 1224 01:33:47.800 --> 01:33:55.600 and thirty one likes. Gives yourselves a round of applause in the chat job, 1225 01:33:55.640 --> 01:33:58.840 well done, keep hitting that thumbs up though, let's be the booker. 1226 01:34:00.119 --> 01:34:05.760 These are gentlemen. It is now time to be the booker. Yeah, 1227 01:34:05.800 --> 01:34:10.640 I mean, Hayman almost went to TNA. T and A wanted him, 1228 01:34:10.680 --> 01:34:15.479 but Dixie just couldn't do it. She couldn't give up the power, 1229 01:34:15.520 --> 01:34:19.159 so it never happened. What would a Paul Haman led TNA have looked like? 1230 01:34:21.119 --> 01:34:27.720 We will never know. Be the booker. Time, here we go. 1231 01:34:29.680 --> 01:34:31.720 I was gonna say the last one of the week, but we're hopefully 1232 01:34:31.760 --> 01:34:34.880 going to be doing one tomorrow on the backlash stream. If we hit the 1233 01:34:34.880 --> 01:34:42.079 goal, then we begin with Look at this the American Wolves. Didn't we 1234 01:34:42.399 --> 01:34:45.800 just pick them? Wasn't it? The American Wolves and the Headshrinkers on Wednesday 1235 01:34:45.960 --> 01:34:49.159 on the Dynamite Scream And now we just landed on these two again. Eddie 1236 01:34:49.279 --> 01:34:56.279 Edwards and Davey Richards for the second time in as many streams. I mean, 1237 01:34:56.319 --> 01:35:01.399 they were a good team, but come on, now, we gotta 1238 01:35:01.399 --> 01:35:06.760 shake things up a little bit here. What is this the American If I 1239 01:35:08.000 --> 01:35:11.359 swear to God, if we land on the headshrinkers again, I'm gonna let 1240 01:35:11.399 --> 01:35:16.760 it run a little bit. We cannot land on the headshrinkers, all right, 1241 01:35:17.159 --> 01:35:21.000 American Wolves? All right, well, that's different the American Wolves and 1242 01:35:21.239 --> 01:35:30.680 Lax. We have homicide and Hernandez. Remember Hernandez and the border toss. 1243 01:35:32.319 --> 01:35:39.279 How recklessly dangerous that looked. I would not have wanted to be on the 1244 01:35:39.319 --> 01:35:44.039 receiving end of a border toss from this guy, I'll tell you that much. 1245 01:35:45.319 --> 01:35:48.239 All right, women's be the booker. That would have been a hard 1246 01:35:48.319 --> 01:35:53.960 hitting match, though, So I like that one. Over on the women's 1247 01:35:54.000 --> 01:36:00.800 side, we begin with the former NXT and former WWE. I'm in champion, 1248 01:36:00.359 --> 01:36:08.119 the lovely Eo Sky, one of the best in the world, Eo 1249 01:36:08.199 --> 01:36:14.039 Sky. This one's gonna be hard to mess up. I think I think 1250 01:36:14.079 --> 01:36:17.000 we got this one in the bag here, Eo Sky gonna go one. 1251 01:36:17.119 --> 01:36:30.359 Oh my fucking God, every single time I opened my mouth, I jinx 1252 01:36:30.399 --> 01:36:38.079 it of all of the people that we have here in this tumbler. All 1253 01:36:38.119 --> 01:36:42.399 you had to do was take someone reasonably competent in the ring and just stick 1254 01:36:42.439 --> 01:36:46.760 them in there with EO and you would have had an easy bell. And 1255 01:36:46.840 --> 01:36:57.600 we land on Rosa Mendez. We had it, We had it. It 1256 01:36:57.680 --> 01:37:00.720 was right there, it was, it was in our grass. We had 1257 01:37:00.720 --> 01:37:09.720 it, We had it, and we threw it all away. All right. 1258 01:37:10.000 --> 01:37:13.319 Main event, I know, I know, I know, I learned 1259 01:37:13.319 --> 01:37:19.199 the hard way. All right. Main event begins with the Narcissist, Lex 1260 01:37:19.640 --> 01:37:26.800 Luger, who loved looking at himself in the giant mirror every time he would 1261 01:37:26.800 --> 01:37:30.319 come out. One of the best physiques, if not frankly the best physique 1262 01:37:30.960 --> 01:37:38.479 ever in all of wrestling back in his prime, was Lex Luger. I 1263 01:37:38.600 --> 01:37:44.560 can't say that the Narcissist was my favorite gimmick of his. Well, let's 1264 01:37:44.600 --> 01:37:57.079 see here Lex Luger one on one with Brett the Hitman Heart. The match 1265 01:37:57.159 --> 01:38:00.760 that we should have gotten at WrestleMania at ten, although that wasn't the Narcissist, 1266 01:38:00.800 --> 01:38:04.600 but the match we should have had at wrestle Many at ten at MSG, 1267 01:38:05.840 --> 01:38:11.640 and it was taken away from us. We were deprived of having that 1268 01:38:11.680 --> 01:38:15.680 match. You know Brett Hard and the Narcissist did wrestle, it just wasn't 1269 01:38:15.680 --> 01:38:18.960 on TV. I know they wrestled because I saw it on the Colisseum video 1270 01:38:19.000 --> 01:38:26.079 ones, so I know it happened. Remember when the Narcissist knocked out Brett 1271 01:38:26.079 --> 01:38:32.079 with his loaded forearm at the WrestleMania nine press conference and they blamed that for 1272 01:38:32.159 --> 01:38:39.439 why he may have lost the Yoko z It's so weird because there were you 1273 01:38:39.439 --> 01:38:44.520 could find so many examples back then in the early nineties of matches that were 1274 01:38:44.600 --> 01:38:48.920 teased on television, feuds that were teased and we just never got the match 1275 01:38:49.000 --> 01:38:51.399 televised. I mean they may have done them at house shows, you know 1276 01:38:51.560 --> 01:38:59.199 Undertaker and Nails, Undertaker and Berserker, Roddy Piper and Rick Flair, Lex 1277 01:38:59.279 --> 01:39:02.119 Luger and bread Heart. He never did any of those matches though, on 1278 01:39:02.560 --> 01:39:05.560 like a major pay per view match, or even television. I mean, 1279 01:39:05.640 --> 01:39:10.880 Undertaker and Berserker. Maybe they had a television match, but you just find 1280 01:39:10.920 --> 01:39:15.520 so many examples of that. But now there's so many hours of television. 1281 01:39:15.520 --> 01:39:17.880 To me these days, it would be impossible not to do it. Just 1282 01:39:17.920 --> 01:39:25.520 the way things were back then, crazy with the five dollars super chat yep, 1283 01:39:25.640 --> 01:39:29.479 Flaren Hogan. Of course Flaren Hogan is another one. There will be 1284 01:39:29.520 --> 01:39:34.159 a four part documentary of the demise of w CW, produced by the Dark 1285 01:39:34.159 --> 01:39:38.600 Side of the Ring creators and the Final Boss. How excited are you about 1286 01:39:38.640 --> 01:39:42.880 that? I am not excited at all. I am so over all of 1287 01:39:42.880 --> 01:39:45.319 this death of WCW stuff. And then you get the usual talking heads. 1288 01:39:45.359 --> 01:39:48.720 I saw the trailer, you got bitsch Off, and you got RUSSEO. 1289 01:39:48.880 --> 01:39:55.840 Fucking gag me. At this point, I don't know if I'm even gonna 1290 01:39:55.880 --> 01:39:59.039 watch it. I might be interested to see what the first episode is like, 1291 01:39:59.119 --> 01:40:01.439 but you know you can get the same look. You're gonna get the 1292 01:40:01.439 --> 01:40:05.399 same lies and tails spun by the same people that have been telling them for 1293 01:40:05.399 --> 01:40:12.119 the last twenty plus years. You're not gonna learn much different than you already 1294 01:40:12.119 --> 01:40:20.560 know. Jay g Low, what are your thoughts on the NXT releases today? 1295 01:40:20.680 --> 01:40:26.319 Very sad to see. I'll run down all of the names on Sunday. 1296 01:40:26.359 --> 01:40:29.680 But yeah, it's sad whenever anybody loses their job. But it's NXT 1297 01:40:30.159 --> 01:40:33.840 and you expect there to be a certain level of turnover with people who either 1298 01:40:33.880 --> 01:40:39.600 are not progressing fast enough or people that they have absolutely no plans on using. 1299 01:40:40.000 --> 01:40:43.039 You know, why would you hold on to people like that? So 1300 01:40:43.079 --> 01:40:45.960 it's not surprising. But it's always sad when people lose their job. I 1301 01:40:46.000 --> 01:40:48.640 don't celebrate it. I don't say, oh, I'm so happy so and 1302 01:40:48.680 --> 01:40:53.039 so got released. No, you'd have to be a fucking idiot to do 1303 01:40:53.119 --> 01:41:00.239 that. It's always a sad thing. Bace Beers Luger putting Hogan in the 1304 01:41:00.399 --> 01:41:06.560 rack was amazing. Yeah, I mean that was the one hundredth episode of 1305 01:41:06.680 --> 01:41:12.600 Nitro in ninety seven and they were in Detroit, if I remember, and 1306 01:41:12.640 --> 01:41:15.159 the crowd went wild for it. I was shocked, you know, to 1307 01:41:15.199 --> 01:41:20.439 see Hogan just give up clean in the torture rack. So that was one 1308 01:41:20.479 --> 01:41:26.359 of the greatest moments in the history of Nitro. Yeah. Not a lot 1309 01:41:26.359 --> 01:41:29.960 of big names released. Actually, no big names released. The biggest of 1310 01:41:30.000 --> 01:41:35.239 the names released was Drew Goulac, former cruiserweight and twenty four to seven champion. 1311 01:41:36.600 --> 01:41:42.000 So again I would not say anybody big was released. Gulac would be 1312 01:41:42.000 --> 01:41:46.199 the biggest of them all, though, uh Kentucky Dried Chicken, Eo Sky 1313 01:41:46.359 --> 01:41:53.479 versus Rosa Mendez. The Mets commentary team calls this match. If anybody can 1314 01:41:53.520 --> 01:41:59.000 make that match watchable, it's Gary Keith and Ron best announced team in all 1315 01:41:59.000 --> 01:42:04.479 of sports. What anybody says, Ultra Beast boys coming in with a five 1316 01:42:04.560 --> 01:42:10.520 dollars super chat? Did you listen to that Rakishi disc song against HOGI? 1317 01:42:11.560 --> 01:42:15.399 I did. I'll tell you what. The part of it that made me 1318 01:42:15.520 --> 01:42:19.159 laugh the most and got the biggest reaction out of me. There's a Family 1319 01:42:19.199 --> 01:42:25.199 Matters Steve Rkle reference early on in the song that popped me. That popped 1320 01:42:25.199 --> 01:42:29.159 me more than anything else, I think in the entire track because it's so 1321 01:42:29.359 --> 01:42:38.000 dated Fresh print or Family Matters? Which was better? I watched them both. 1322 01:42:39.239 --> 01:42:44.600 I was a big Family Matters guy. Saw every episode, knew every 1323 01:42:44.720 --> 01:42:46.760 character on the show, even the daughter who went up to her bedroom one 1324 01:42:46.840 --> 01:42:50.600 day in the first season and never came back down. We never saw her 1325 01:42:50.640 --> 01:42:57.319 again. Hey, Chris m just subscribe. Look at Daniel Garcia doing the 1326 01:42:57.439 --> 01:43:01.399 dance. Will he do that dance on Sunday? Just added to the House 1327 01:43:01.439 --> 01:43:10.159 of Glory Cinco de Mayo show on Sunday at the NYC Arena. Daniel Garcia 1328 01:43:10.560 --> 01:43:14.399 has been added to the show. Maybe he can, Maybe he could teach 1329 01:43:14.439 --> 01:43:17.840 me the dance. You know, last time Swerve and Printed Nama came to 1330 01:43:17.880 --> 01:43:24.000 the NYC Arena, I had I had Nana teach me the dance. What 1331 01:43:24.039 --> 01:43:28.439 do you think should I? Should I learn the Daniel Garcia dance? I 1332 01:43:28.479 --> 01:43:30.920 don't know. But yeah, he's gonna be on the show. It's gonna 1333 01:43:30.960 --> 01:43:34.800 be a big show. We got Ray Phoenix and Penta Brother versus Brother in 1334 01:43:34.880 --> 01:43:39.560 the main event on Sunday. If you can't be at the arena Live Triller 1335 01:43:39.640 --> 01:43:45.239 TV plus j D and I will be doing commentary for the show, which 1336 01:43:45.279 --> 01:43:49.479 means that I'm gonna have to do my show early. I have to figure 1337 01:43:49.479 --> 01:43:54.079 out how I'm gonna work that. But I will do my show and then 1338 01:43:54.079 --> 01:43:57.039 I will do the Hog Show back to back. I will jump in my 1339 01:43:57.119 --> 01:43:59.960 car and I will drive to Queens so that I could do the Hog Show. 1340 01:44:00.079 --> 01:44:01.079 So it's gonna be a busy weekend for Oh my God. And then 1341 01:44:01.079 --> 01:44:06.600 we have the pay per view tomorrow. Fuck yeah, boy, This weekend 1342 01:44:06.680 --> 01:44:12.000 is gonna be something else, isn't it. This is gonna be this is 1343 01:44:12.039 --> 01:44:16.600 gonna be something. Because we had SmackDown tonight, We've got Backlash tomorrow, 1344 01:44:17.359 --> 01:44:21.960 We've got the podcast on Sunday, House of Glory on Sunday, the raw 1345 01:44:23.000 --> 01:44:30.159 stream on Monday, TNT with JD on Tuesday, Dynamite on Wednesday, and 1346 01:44:30.199 --> 01:44:32.199 then I might actually get a little break on Thursday. I'm actually looking forward 1347 01:44:32.199 --> 01:44:40.479 to that. Busy, busy, busy bass Beers. Speed is like Velocity 1348 01:44:40.520 --> 01:44:45.880 two point zero the name and green owwe Speed. Yeah. I saw that 1349 01:44:46.159 --> 01:44:51.199 they crowned a new speed champion. Ricochet is the first ever speed champion. 1350 01:44:51.199 --> 01:44:58.319 They have a new belt for it. Speed is basically, it's this concept 1351 01:44:58.359 --> 01:45:03.119 they came up with for a show on Twitter on X where they had a 1352 01:45:03.159 --> 01:45:08.960 tournament and it's a series of three minute matches. They don't go longer than 1353 01:45:09.000 --> 01:45:15.600 three minutes because people have the attention span of a fucking fruit fly. So 1354 01:45:15.640 --> 01:45:19.920 that that's the whole concept. It's like a very very quick matches. I'm 1355 01:45:19.920 --> 01:45:26.039 sure some people enjoy it. I don't really care for it, but if 1356 01:45:26.079 --> 01:45:31.600 you do, good for you. All right, So tomorrow we are going 1357 01:45:31.680 --> 01:45:35.960 to be doing the Backlash recap as soon as the pay per view is over. 1358 01:45:36.359 --> 01:45:40.239 I remember it's a one o'clock Eastern start, which means it's probably going 1359 01:45:40.319 --> 01:45:43.760 to go to about four, So between four and four thirty. Plan to 1360 01:45:43.840 --> 01:45:46.560 be here because I will be live on YouTube before you have your dinner tomorrow. 1361 01:45:47.039 --> 01:45:50.520 You come here and I will fill you in on everything that happens on 1362 01:45:50.560 --> 01:45:54.760 this pay per view. We'll go over all of it, and then of 1363 01:45:54.760 --> 01:45:59.880 course episode eight sixty, eight hundred and sixty of the Solemn Monster sounds. 1364 01:45:59.880 --> 01:46:05.640 So we'll be dropping on Sunday, probably early so I can make the Hog 1365 01:46:05.720 --> 01:46:11.479 Show. And thank you again for all of the feedback this week on the 1366 01:46:11.520 --> 01:46:15.880 TNT announcement. I am very much looking forward to that Hoffman Entertainment with the 1367 01:46:15.920 --> 01:46:21.880 final super chat here. Judy is seen at Grandma Winslow's wedding in season four, 1368 01:46:23.159 --> 01:46:26.880 and then we never see her again. Is she I don't remember that. 1369 01:46:28.720 --> 01:46:31.399 I'll take your word for it. All I remember is that Judy went 1370 01:46:31.479 --> 01:46:34.039 up to her room one day and I don't ever remember seeing her again. 1371 01:46:34.079 --> 01:46:38.760 And then I think she ended up doing porn. Didn't she end up when 1372 01:46:38.760 --> 01:46:44.880 she got older doing adult films? What a career to go from family matters 1373 01:46:44.880 --> 01:46:48.439 to adult films. Anyway, On that note, there's some food for thought 1374 01:46:48.479 --> 01:46:53.439 heading into your weekend. Happy Sinco de mayo, everybody. I'll see you 1375 01:46:53.479 --> 01:46:56.399 for the backlash stream tomorrow. Take care, guys,
