Speaker 1: This is WWE Superstar Drew McIntyre and you're listening to
Speaker 1: the WWE podcast, the show.
Speaker 2: The one that everybody wants me.
Speaker 3: Tell you somebody, sixteen sous your ass is mind, you.
Speaker 4: Can acknowledge me.
Speaker 2: Everybody, Welcome to the mail Bag. It's time to talk
Speaker 2: to you and hear from you here for all the
Speaker 2: listeners about this past week and what a week it was.
Speaker 2: With SummerSlam now behind us, we are into the fall
Speaker 2: season really, and fall is it can be a very
Speaker 2: interesting time in the world of wrestling. There are you know,
Speaker 2: season premieres in wrestling which don't really mean a whole lot,
Speaker 2: and we've got Survivor Series ahead of us, of course,
Speaker 2: back and fast Lane before that, and then we can
Speaker 2: start fantasizing about the Rumble. But before we get there, guys,
Speaker 2: of course, we want to take a look back here
Speaker 2: from you here, from the listeners, about what the heck
Speaker 2: you thought about SummerSlam, and you know, moving forward, of course,
Speaker 2: but one thing I want to mention as always, because
Speaker 2: I know many of you have actually joined us over
Speaker 2: the last several days and weeks really as the summer
Speaker 2: slim season and most of the Patriots, most of the
Speaker 2: pay per views do bring on new patrons. I have
Speaker 2: to acknowledge a few people that have come on. And
Speaker 2: Chris Sides welcome Chandler. I know that you recently upgraded
Speaker 2: your membership as well, and that means you can come
Speaker 2: on the show. So Chandler, if you want to, that
Speaker 2: is something that you have an option to do. And
Speaker 2: Z Z Monroe, welcome to the podcast family. So if
Speaker 2: you want to join Z and Chandler and Chris, you
Speaker 2: can do that at Patreon slash ww podcast and that
Speaker 2: gets you ad free everything as well as an option
Speaker 2: to come on the show and access to a discord
Speaker 2: server and a whole lot more. So check that out
Speaker 2: if you are so inclined. Alrighty, let's check out our
Speaker 2: first our first email here, and I believe this is
Speaker 2: really more of an extension of a voicemail, but let's
Speaker 2: get to it. Yo, it's me, it's me, it's Rocky t. Okay,
Speaker 2: Rocky T. So your email this week is saying that
Speaker 2: you forgot to mention on your voicemail, which of course
Speaker 2: we'll get to in fear of being cut off. Is
Speaker 2: that me and the gardener Michael Gross are also collaborating
Speaker 2: with King Scully on an episode that will cover the
Speaker 2: influence of the UK wrestling in today's wrestling era. That's awesome.
Speaker 2: I have no objections to that. Also, the Rock San
Speaker 2: Perez update will temporarily be suspended, but no worries. She
Speaker 2: made her Royal Rumbled debut this year and I believe
Speaker 2: she'll be on the main roster, maybe as soon as
Speaker 2: next year's draft. Thanks Matt again for having me on
Speaker 2: Raw the Raw Review last week. Well, it's pleasure to
Speaker 2: have you on and good to hear that. You know,
Speaker 2: things are moving forward with my podcast. I don't even
Speaker 2: and you know, you guys are moving it forward while
Speaker 2: I'm just you know, I feel like sometimes I'm sitting back,
Speaker 2: But you guys are really the reason that things continue
Speaker 2: to move forward, get new voices, new perspectives, to bring
Speaker 2: new people on. So I really appreciate it. And you know,
Speaker 2: I continue to do to do the back end work
Speaker 2: of publishing and advertising the best I can and all
Speaker 2: that kind of stuff, you know, which is, you know,
Speaker 2: this is something that I don't think people understand. This
Speaker 2: is not me tooting my own horror. I chose this
Speaker 2: and I love doing it. But anyone getting into podcasting.
Speaker 2: I'm telling you right now it is going to be
Speaker 2: a labor of love. You have to love this or
Speaker 2: you will leave it. Love has kept me from just
Speaker 2: saying screw it. I'm not doing it tonight.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 2: It's a It's something that is much more work than people,
Speaker 2: I really realize. And when you have a great team
Speaker 2: behind you, like Rocky and Michael and Anthony and you
Speaker 2: know our SmackDown team of Michael, Ritter and John It's
Speaker 2: and of course Memphis Mark, it makes it so much easier.
Speaker 2: And I really appreciate you guys. So all right, thank you,
Speaker 2: Rocke T of course, yes, your voicemail is forthcoming. Alrighty,
Speaker 2: let's get to another patron. As always, patrons get priority.
Speaker 2: I know voicemails. Got quite a few voicemails today too.
Speaker 2: This is from Kyle Detroit. Kyle with his first ever
Speaker 2: feedback from his live live experience. He went to SummerSlam
Speaker 2: and this is what he said. The Detroit crowd was
Speaker 2: very hot at first, but the echoes of yeah and
Speaker 2: USO throughout the entire building. But as the night went on,
Speaker 2: the crowd died down and by the time we got
Speaker 2: to Ronda and SHANEA it completely died. Gunther and Drew
Speaker 2: helped bring it back up, and he cash in became
Speaker 2: arguably the loudest pop of the night. Ford Field got
Speaker 2: really a lot of times, but because it is so large,
Speaker 2: it might not have come through on TV. No, it did,
Speaker 2: It did, and you know, EO's cash in did come
Speaker 2: across very strong. I think it rivaled L. A. Knight's
Speaker 2: victory in the Battle Royal. And you guys certainly died
Speaker 2: around Shana and Ronda. But I don't blame you that
Speaker 2: that was not an exciting match. It wasn't an embarrassment,
Speaker 2: but it was. I mean, I already reviewed it, but
Speaker 2: it was just it's difficult to make that an exciting
Speaker 2: match when people watching wrestling want to watch wrestling and
Speaker 2: not MMA, you know what I mean, It'd be like
Speaker 2: watching a UFC pay per view and then instead they're like, well,
Speaker 2: instead of you know, instead of an actual MMA style competition, guys,
Speaker 2: we're going to do a WWE style match. It's just
Speaker 2: it's just, you know, it's not usually a good translation. However,
Speaker 2: let's move on. Logan Paul versus Ricochet. You gave it
Speaker 2: four and a half out of five stars. You said
Speaker 2: that's the best match of the night in my opinion.
Speaker 2: Great action, great storytelling, fun usage of other wrestlers' moves.
Speaker 2: The crowd was really into it, probably more than any
Speaker 2: other match. Logan Paul's the real deal, even more impressive
Speaker 2: in person, and I hope he's around for a while. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that's the thing. As good as he is, though, he's
Speaker 2: easy to hate, and I don't think they understood that
Speaker 2: bringing him in as a social media star. I would
Speaker 2: like them to not always tell us how many subscribers
Speaker 2: he has, though, you know what I mean, Like it's
Speaker 2: almost like it's a qualification to be here. And I
Speaker 2: think that Logan Paul's work speaks for itself. On the MIC,
Speaker 2: he's better than he should be, for sure, but there's
Speaker 2: room for improvement there. In the ring, he is just
Speaker 2: I mean, from an athletic standpoint, he is unbelievable, and
Speaker 2: Ricochet matches him as well. Nobody would argue if these
Speaker 2: two have another match. Cody and Brock three out of
Speaker 2: five stars. Brock is a very large man in person.
Speaker 2: It's very impressive to see him toss Cody around like
Speaker 2: a sack of potatoes. He truly is a great performer.
Speaker 2: And I must say I thought he did a better
Speaker 2: job than Cody in this match with his selling and
Speaker 2: in ring work. I like the story they told, but
Speaker 2: the Crossroads move is the lamest finish ever. It kind
Speaker 2: of looks like Cody takes more impact than his opponent.
Speaker 2: I'm just glad this pointless feud is over and hopefully
Speaker 2: they can both move on to something that actually has
Speaker 2: a story. By the way, the song choice for the
Speaker 2: video package was the wrong choice, and I really liked
Speaker 2: the energy in the place. Yeah, that's you know, very
Speaker 2: rarely does the WWE production team misstep in their video packages.
Speaker 2: They almost always hit a home run. They're ultra talented.
Speaker 2: But the song choice for the Brock and Cody program
Speaker 2: was very odd and didn't help the program at all.
Speaker 2: I agree with that. It's a very rare misstep by
Speaker 2: that group. So I'm not gonna you know, I'm not
Speaker 2: gonna hammer them too hard. However, you're right about Brock's selling.
Speaker 2: I don't think brockets enough credit for how well he sells.
Speaker 2: You know, he's a big dude and he's dominant, but
Speaker 2: he's not like and this is also not a knock
Speaker 2: on Bray. But he also doesn't know sell things, and
Speaker 2: when he does it has meaning. He doesn't know sell
Speaker 2: it because that's his gimmick or something he doesn't when
Speaker 2: it has meaning and it's part of the story. But
Speaker 2: Brock's selling is underrated. I would agree with that. But
Speaker 2: the also the the Crossroads. I brought that up to
Speaker 2: it's a it's lame, and it's only lame because it's
Speaker 2: difficult to execute in a way that doesn't make it
Speaker 2: look like Cody's taking more of a bump than the
Speaker 2: actual his opponent. It's it's I understand it. Oh, it's
Speaker 2: a twisting, turning motion. Oh boy, it must be really impactful.
Speaker 2: Imagine doing that move in slow mo. I'm sure you
Speaker 2: could apply this logic to nearly any move in pro wrestling,
Speaker 2: but specifically the Crossroads. Imagine that in slow motion on
Speaker 2: a replay. It doesn't look good in real time. I
Speaker 2: can't imagine what it would look like in slow mo.
Speaker 2: It's just bad. I'm sorry. Is it as bad as
Speaker 2: the Big Ending No? And other finishes?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 2: I just I don't like the Crossroads. It's obviously not
Speaker 2: going anywhere, but it's it's just doesn't look good, and
Speaker 2: especially when he needs to do it three times and
Speaker 2: whatever I've gone on that ran before? All right, twenty
Speaker 2: five man Battle Royal two and a half out of
Speaker 2: five stars. How is the miss getting an entrance but
Speaker 2: not the US champion Austin theory? I mean it tells
Speaker 2: you how far Austin theory has fallen. I mean Austin
Speaker 2: theory has just he is off a cliff and sure
Speaker 2: he's still the champion, but not for long. He needs
Speaker 2: a repackaging. I think, not that he I don't think
Speaker 2: he should be fired or anything like that. He just
Speaker 2: needs a revamp. LA and A getting the win was
Speaker 2: a huge pop. But please tell me what did La
Speaker 2: and aight actually win. I want to point out that
Speaker 2: Chad Gable was amazing in the ring and put on
Speaker 2: a great show, very formulaic and predictable Battle Royal, though unfortunately, Yeah,
Speaker 2: here's the thing, A couple things. L and A getting
Speaker 2: the victory. I don't care if it was predictable. I
Speaker 2: don't care. The reason is it's the right decision, you know, predictability.
Speaker 2: I continue to say this because people continue to complain
Speaker 2: about predictability. I don't think predictability is in and of
Speaker 2: itself a bad thing. If it's the right thing to do. Now,
Speaker 2: you can have the best of both worlds sometimes and
Speaker 2: do something unpredictable. That's the right choice. That's always the
Speaker 2: best combination, right where we always want to be surprised
Speaker 2: and then go, oh, that was the right decision. But
Speaker 2: more often than not you're going to get an outcome
Speaker 2: that's predictable, but the right decision. The alternative is they
Speaker 2: do something unpredictable, but it's the wrong decision. Do you
Speaker 2: see what I'm saying. We're choosing kind of the better
Speaker 2: option of the two. Now, again, the ideal, the best,
Speaker 2: the best combination is unpredictable and the right choice. But
Speaker 2: you can't always have that. You can't. That's just nearly
Speaker 2: impossible to book. However, the l A. Knight win, what
Speaker 2: did he win? He won a starting point, that's what
Speaker 2: he won. He won ground zero is what he won.
Speaker 2: He won a victory that he can use to continue
Speaker 2: to finally start doing something with LA Knight. That's what
Speaker 2: it was. And Chad Gable, my god, yeah, holy, I
Speaker 2: mean yes. And by the way, Chad Gable doing that
Speaker 2: supplex I didn't mentioned this on raw that's that stalled
Speaker 2: Belly to back supplex on a champa. I think it was.
Speaker 2: I mean, the dude is so underutilized it's unbelievable. Shanean
Speaker 2: Ronda won out of five stars. This match killed the audience,
Speaker 2: worked MMA and doesn't work. There were a ton of
Speaker 2: negative chants during this match, like this is boring and
Speaker 2: this looks dumb, bad action, no story enough said, Well,
Speaker 2: I wouldn't say no story. To be fair, they did
Speaker 2: as good of a job as they could have possibly
Speaker 2: done trying to build a last second story with the
Speaker 2: multi segment video package the week before and the interactions
Speaker 2: between Shannon and Ronda face to face before that, they
Speaker 2: did did build a story. I think that's unfair. However,
Speaker 2: to your point, it was it wasn't fun to watch
Speaker 2: at home. I could imagine the live experience for this one,
Speaker 2: especially after you watch like Logan, Paul and Ricochet just
Speaker 2: a few matches before, and you see brock Lesner, you
Speaker 2: saw La Knight get the victory, and then you get
Speaker 2: to Shana and Ronda who just roll around in the
Speaker 2: ring for a little while and you know, play pretend fighting,
Speaker 2: you know, pretend MMA. It's not good. It's just not
Speaker 2: all right. Gunther and Drew as you said, brought up
Speaker 2: to the crowd. This was my second favorite match of
Speaker 2: the night. The crowd was deflated from the first at
Speaker 2: first from Ronda and Shane, but these guys are so
Speaker 2: good they eventually brought it up and earned this. This
Speaker 2: is awesome champ Both look solid in the ring and
Speaker 2: were very physical and damaging. Whenever one of them hit
Speaker 2: the matter or at Chop, it echoed throughout the stadium.
Speaker 2: Their power bombs were impressive too, and Drew going over
Speaker 2: the top rope was nuts live. Yet Drew never I
Speaker 2: don't even know the last bad match Drew was involved in.
Speaker 2: No one talks about it, but Drew McIntyre is so
Speaker 2: consistent with his matches. It's something that for some reason
Speaker 2: is over the heads of most people, but Gunther and Drew. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I don't know if I give it four out of five,
Speaker 2: I'd think maybe three and a half for me, just
Speaker 2: because for me there's a higher bar. But I'm in
Speaker 2: the realm of your review as well or of your rating,
Speaker 2: and this is awesome chance. Yeah, they deserve that, and
Speaker 2: I wouldn't mind seeing them go again. I think they'll
Speaker 2: go again and payback. Seth and fin three and a
Speaker 2: half out of five stars. I think surprisingly got the
Speaker 2: fourth biggest pop from the crowd, behind Cody's entrance, l
Speaker 2: A Night Winning and eos cash in. The match was
Speaker 2: decent but didn't pick up until the last five minutes
Speaker 2: when Mommy came out with a judgment day. The crowd
Speaker 2: loved the rest, though quick side note Rollin's falcon arrow
Speaker 2: is one of the prettiest moves in all in w Yes,
Speaker 2: maybe Cody can adopt that as his finish or adopt
Speaker 2: like the Mitchinoku driver. I mean, can we get rid
Speaker 2: of it? I know Crossroads fits. Oh well, it's part
Speaker 2: of his name. Isn't that cute? And it's it is
Speaker 2: a unique looking finish, but god does it look weak?
Speaker 2: Maybe Big did Big Ee talk to him about, you know,
Speaker 2: coming up with a finish? Was Big Eie advising him
Speaker 2: at the time or something? Oh? All right? Oscar and
Speaker 2: Charlotte and Bianca the triple threat for the Women's WWE
Speaker 2: Women's Championship. Two and a half out of five stars
Speaker 2: is what you gave it. This match was surprisingly slow
Speaker 2: and sloppy for the talent involved, and the Bianca injury
Speaker 2: angle was so was it obnoxious or rather obvious. Oh
Speaker 2: I guess I'll add obnoxious work even live Compared to
Speaker 2: the SHANEA Ronda match, though this was a banger's that's sad.
Speaker 2: Bianca was the obvious crowd favorite and she got a
Speaker 2: big pop from her entrance. But why wasn't Oscar the
Speaker 2: last entrant? Champs are supposed to go last. I don't
Speaker 2: like when titles changed with a roll up victory, but
Speaker 2: we were very happy to see Bianca win and way
Speaker 2: happier for the EO cash. And also it was nice
Speaker 2: to see Dakota back because I know, for I know
Speaker 2: how much that moment meant to all of Damage Control.
Speaker 2: I will say I'm sad damage control is still a thing.
Speaker 2: It felt like they kind of dissolved and no one cared,
Speaker 2: and then all of a sudden, they're back, and oh
Speaker 2: well a year ago they debuted and look where they
Speaker 2: are now. Fine, it was a nice it was a
Speaker 2: bit of a heartfelt moment. Fine, But the injury angle,
Speaker 2: and I mentioned this too, is you know, she did
Speaker 2: a good job selling it to the point where she
Speaker 2: couldn't even put any weight on her leg at all,
Speaker 2: and then all of a sudden, you know, divine intervention
Speaker 2: struck and she could perform a four fifty, which were
Speaker 2: requires you to put not just your your own body weight,
Speaker 2: but like more than that, because you're jumping off of
Speaker 2: your legs to perform a move that defies gravity and
Speaker 2: then of course you come crashing down, so it requires
Speaker 2: you to use all of your strength in your leg.
Speaker 2: And if you actually had an injury that in which
Speaker 2: you could not even put any weight on it, it's just
Speaker 2: I understand, it's wrestling, it's selling, but like, come on,
Speaker 2: and then she immediately goes back to selling it after
Speaker 2: she performed the four fifty. It's just like, no, this
Speaker 2: is not selling. If it was selling, she would have
Speaker 2: collapsed right Like she tries to perform her leg gives
Speaker 2: out on her when she tries to do it, and
Speaker 2: like that's selling. Selling isn't only when you're not doing
Speaker 2: a maneuver. And I think this is not just specific
Speaker 2: to Bianca. I think it's a kind of an industry
Speaker 2: wide issue. Is not just the lack of selling, but
Speaker 2: when you're trying to sell an injury that you suddenly
Speaker 2: can perform on that ligament or that appendage of your body,
Speaker 2: when you need to perform a move, but then go
Speaker 2: back to selling it when you're not doing anything. It's
Speaker 2: like no, no, no. If you're selling something that should
Speaker 2: prevent you from performing a move, it make you look
Speaker 2: vulnerable in a match. Find other ways to win without
Speaker 2: using that part of your body instead of just oh
Speaker 2: it hurts so much, I can't even put anyway down it.
Speaker 2: Hold on, let me do this four fifty splash. Oh
Speaker 2: wait it hurts again. Stop it that. I mean, I
Speaker 2: agree with you. It was great selling up until she
Speaker 2: actually needed to do it, and then you're like, oh, well,
Speaker 2: what the hell right? Why even bother selling it if
Speaker 2: you're not going to use it as like I know
Speaker 2: it was supposed to be. Oh she's overcoming. Oh the
Speaker 2: injust you know, Okay, I've made my point. Jay versus
Speaker 2: Roman two and a half out of five stars. This
Speaker 2: show is too long. The main event was way too long.
Speaker 2: Jay is a great hype man in person. Roman got
Speaker 2: tons of hate thrown at him all match long, but
Speaker 2: I think it was mainly out of boredom and frustration.
Speaker 2: It was your typical Roman match plotting, predictable, moving out
Speaker 2: a tortoise like pace, and lots of drama and interference.
Speaker 2: At the end. Honestly, I took a bathroom break during
Speaker 2: this match and didn't miss a thing. Most of the
Speaker 2: audience couldn't see the spot where Solo put j through
Speaker 2: the table, so I didn't. That didn't pop much. Children
Speaker 2: were sleeping throughout this match. We were so tired and
Speaker 2: disappointed that the crowd bailed as soon as Roman's name
Speaker 2: was announced as the winner, not even waiting for any
Speaker 2: other surprises, and not counting Jimmy turning on Jay as
Speaker 2: a surprise because that was so expected. Overall, the entire
Speaker 2: show was underwhelming and predictable, with no big surprises. Okay,
Speaker 2: agreed that that was way too long of a main event,
Speaker 2: and it does seem to be very formulaic for Roman matches.
Speaker 2: Plotting every move is you know, there's I equated it
Speaker 2: to a pitcher in baseball between pitches. That's exactly what
Speaker 2: it felt like here, and that's been the style for Roman.
Speaker 2: But there are times when it just becomes too much.
Speaker 2: There is a there is a diminishing returns effect here
Speaker 2: where Okay, yes you can go too so in today's
Speaker 2: world of wrestling that it's too fast. Generally, there is
Speaker 2: such a thing as going too slow, and I think
Speaker 2: this match approached it and yeah, so kids were sleeping,
Speaker 2: but to be fair, also this was late at night,
Speaker 2: way past a lot of kids' bedtimes, so there is that.
Speaker 2: But yeah, okay, great, Thank you so much Kyle for
Speaker 2: the very in depth review of SummerSlam. It is much
Speaker 2: much appreciated, and we wouldn't have got We definitely wouldn't
Speaker 2: have got any of that had you not sent it
Speaker 2: and got that in person perspective. So I'm sorry that
Speaker 2: it was disappointed you, I am, But you know, I
Speaker 2: think the lack of returns really really annoyed a lot
Speaker 2: of people, no doubt about it. All right, let's continue on.
Speaker 2: Let's get to DJ Cuzmo and mister DJ says hello,
Speaker 2: aw and ww podcast World. Djcuz will back at it again.
Speaker 2: I had to briefly ran on this, can Triple Ah
Speaker 2: do something with those lines on his forehead? Get botox
Speaker 2: or something, because it's such an eyesore. Every single every
Speaker 2: single pl e those foreheadlines look like tire tracks. I've
Speaker 2: never had anyone talk about Triple H's lines on his forehead.
Speaker 2: I you know, I think a lot of that is
Speaker 2: not just genetics and and him aging. Although that's some
Speaker 2: of it. It's a lot of battle scars throughout his career.
Speaker 2: I think too. A lot of it has to do
Speaker 2: with how many times he bladed And think about how
Speaker 2: many times Triple H bled, I mean and use you know,
Speaker 2: used blades, right, and so I think some of it
Speaker 2: has to do with that. Some of it has to
Speaker 2: do with aging and just genetics, but I don't know
Speaker 2: what the cure is. Perhaps botox. I don't think that's
Speaker 2: his number one priority, but yeah, they are. Now everyone's
Speaker 2: gonna look at Triple H's forehead. Oh my gosh, the
Speaker 2: things you guys come up with. Good stuff. Where the
Speaker 2: hell am I lost my email?
Speaker 5: There?
Speaker 2: It is? Okay, So still you're Intercontinental Champion, Gunther. I'm
Speaker 2: gonna Gunther because I promised to never pronounce it that way,
Speaker 2: but I know what you're saying. It almost just a
Speaker 2: couple of more, just a couple more days away until
Speaker 2: he passes Honky Tonk. I think it's twenty eight days.
Speaker 2: It becomes the longest reigning in history. I'm looking forward
Speaker 2: to this icy championship match between him and Chad Gable,
Speaker 2: even though Gunther is most likely going to retain. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I am too. I'm too, you know, Chad Gables getting
Speaker 2: a little bit more of a rub than he normally does,
Speaker 2: and I'm looking forward to the match as well. After
Speaker 2: coming up short once again against Gunther. It's is the
Speaker 2: time now to turn Drew turned heel turned Drew heel.
Speaker 2: I will say that right since Monday, Neet Raw does
Speaker 2: not have enough credible heels to challenge Cody. Drew has
Speaker 2: not won a championship match since retaining the title at
Speaker 2: Chamber in twenty twenty one inside the Chamber against fellow
Speaker 2: opponents Jeff Hardy, Gophy, Kingston, aj Styles, Chamus and Randy Orton.
Speaker 2: With his two year championship drought, do you see potentially
Speaker 2: that a healed Drew goes after Rollins for the title
Speaker 2: after Rollins finishes his few with Nakamara. Yes, unless he
Speaker 2: gets traded to SmackDown. Yes, I mean, I can't stress
Speaker 2: that enough. I think Drew as a heel is going
Speaker 2: to refresh his career, give Seth someone to work with
Speaker 2: for multiple months, absolutely and could be an actual threat
Speaker 2: to the World Heavyweight Championship. And it's very believable to
Speaker 2: take it off of Seth, not just a stepping stone
Speaker 2: or someone he needs to work with to fill time.
Speaker 2: I think Drew has a real shot if he turns
Speaker 2: heel to take it off of Seth. And Drew's a
Speaker 2: proven commodity, he can cut promos, He's really good as
Speaker 2: a heel. Go back and watch some of his work
Speaker 2: as a heel and you'll go, oh wow, there is
Speaker 2: a lot here, and there's just he is a mature,
Speaker 2: polished wrestler. I mean, there's just no two ways about it.
Speaker 2: That could be your champion and be a really good
Speaker 2: heel champion. The question is, does wwe want to pull
Speaker 2: that trigger of going back on what they originally intended
Speaker 2: to set out the world title to be, which is
Speaker 2: an anti Roman. So we'll see, all right. One last thing,
Speaker 2: speaking of heel turns or slight heel turns, the new
Speaker 2: look Street Profits attack both babyfaced teams in the OC
Speaker 2: and the brawling Brutes during their match, so obviously I
Speaker 2: wouldn't assume they are heels. But then Bobby Lashley appears
Speaker 2: and the crowd chance Bobby Bobby. I was a little confused,
Speaker 2: but I guess the crowd cheer because they haven't seen
Speaker 2: him in a long time. My question is, do you
Speaker 2: think the creative plans for the street profits, he'll turn
Speaker 2: backfired because the crowd cheering for Bobby. That's all for now.
Speaker 2: Dgcuzmo signing off, Well, I think they're kind of dipping
Speaker 2: their toe in little places, right, They're kind of seeing
Speaker 2: how the crowd's going to react, and it could have
Speaker 2: just been one of those Oh we haven't seen him
Speaker 2: in a while, so we're gonna cheer them, and that
Speaker 2: goes away quickly, you know, once that return feeling kind
Speaker 2: of fades away. Perhaps they do, but I don't know
Speaker 2: what the long term plans are. If they're gonna feud.
Speaker 2: If Bobby Lash is gonna feud with eventually Roman reigns,
Speaker 2: which I think he should, then they can't keep him heal.
Speaker 2: So this is just one night them attacking the OC
Speaker 2: and the brawling Brutes. First of all, no one cares
Speaker 2: about the OC. I'm sorry, no one does. No one
Speaker 2: they are Howler portrayed in WWE has never been to
Speaker 2: their benefit never. And the brawling Brutes sure, I mean
Speaker 2: they have a little bit of momentum there. They were
Speaker 2: a heel team. They went back to Babyface, Seamus and
Speaker 2: Gunther all that. But let's see what week two, in
Speaker 2: week three, in week four, bring who they attack, what
Speaker 2: they say in the mic, that's gonna be key as
Speaker 2: to what they're going to be established as. All right,
Speaker 2: we'll get the VERR Mahan report in just a few moments.
Speaker 2: Let's get to Let's get to Mason, and he says,
Speaker 2: let me talk to you. So first, why the heck
Speaker 2: were Michael Cole and Wade Barrett on Raw instead of
Speaker 2: Corey Graves and Kevin Patrick. And La Knight was there too,
Speaker 2: so I guess the brand split juice doesn't exist. Don't
Speaker 2: get me wrong. I want to see La Knight as
Speaker 2: much as possible, so I like that he was there. Also,
Speaker 2: if the New Day showed up, why not bring big
Speaker 2: Ee back too? Because a month ago on the After
Speaker 2: the Belt podcast with Corey Graves, he said he would
Speaker 2: return when the time is right, and I feel like
Speaker 2: now could be a perfect time. Last off, this week's
Speaker 2: question for the listeners, create any feud between any two
Speaker 2: superstars for any championship? Who would they be and what
Speaker 2: would the championship be? Doesn't have to be a current champion.
Speaker 2: Good question Mason to pose to everybody. Now, it's so funny,
Speaker 2: I really you know, I didn't even notice that La
Speaker 2: Knight shouldn't have been on RAW. I didn't even notice
Speaker 2: that is something normally I would be right on top of.
Speaker 2: I've become so numb to WWE just at will bringing
Speaker 2: whoever they want from opposing brands to the opposite show.
Speaker 2: When the story dictates that they do it, I'm half
Speaker 2: angry about it or annoyed by it because I still
Speaker 2: don't no matter how many times they do it, I'm
Speaker 2: not going to be desensitized to it and just well,
Speaker 2: that's just WWE doing what they need. No no, no, no,
Speaker 2: Like I hold them accountable. I hold them to their
Speaker 2: own damn rules, like being able to tell basic stories
Speaker 2: and why the hell we never were told for a
Speaker 2: four month feud? Why Brock attack Cody to begin with,
Speaker 2: which we still don't know? I don't. I don't give
Speaker 2: them a pass on basics. I don't. But the opposite
Speaker 2: to this is Elle Knight is a massive rising star.
Speaker 2: WWE is testing the fans to see how deep their
Speaker 2: loyalty goes, and you know, where they really believe Ellae
Speaker 2: Knight should be or if he's a fad or, as
Speaker 2: miss put it, a flash in the pan so they're
Speaker 2: they're showcasing him on both shows where his home is
Speaker 2: truly SmackDown. They didn't give an explanation as to why
Speaker 2: Ellen I was there. They just had him there and
Speaker 2: no one cared, and clearly I didn't neither. I didn't
Speaker 2: even notice like Ellen I shouldn't have been there, but
Speaker 2: that he is being showcase and both shows now because
Speaker 2: they know they have something here and they want to
Speaker 2: see what it is. So and as far as the
Speaker 2: whole announced teams, man, I don't know they I'm not
Speaker 2: too upset about that either, though, unless you're you know,
Speaker 2: a big Kevin Patrick fan, of which I'm not, it
Speaker 2: didn't really bother me too much. All right, thanks Mason.
Speaker 2: Now let's let's see where we want to go. All right,
Speaker 2: let's talk to Let's talk to King Scully. He's in
Speaker 2: the house and he's representing the UK all day, so
Speaker 2: let's see what he's got to say. Is that all? Rhyme?
Speaker 2: My god? All right? So, King Skull, it's been a
Speaker 2: few weeks since I last road in the mailbag, but
Speaker 2: I'm here now. I hope you didn't miss me too much.
Speaker 2: SummerSlam was decent enough, but the matches were competitive, and
Speaker 2: overall it was a good pay per view. Jimmy screwing
Speaker 2: Jay didn't make sense. After all, it was Jimmy who
Speaker 2: turned on Roman to begin with. But we can see
Speaker 2: where this is going. I really enjoyed Michael enjoyed. Michael
Speaker 2: Cole's commentary in the ending was quality and I found
Speaker 2: it amusing. Jimmy, what did you do? Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 2: Michael Cole did make it as dramatic as as it
Speaker 2: could have been. Props to Cole. Sky winning the title
Speaker 2: was great. Loved it when her music hit Lesner versus
Speaker 2: Roads was enjoyable, and the respect from Brock was a
Speaker 2: nice touch. Before we get to that the cash in thing,
Speaker 2: why do we need to hear from the announcer before
Speaker 2: the bell rings that there's a cash in? I mean
Speaker 2: that those are precious seconds, you know, like precious seconds
Speaker 2: that could be wasted on and being like the match
Speaker 2: is hinged on the announcer announced it, it should just
Speaker 2: be the competitor hands the referee the briefcase. It's implied
Speaker 2: we all know it's coming and the bell rings like
Speaker 2: it should be instant. There's always precious seconds of the
Speaker 2: match starting where there's false castions and things. But I
Speaker 2: digress all right. I think Balors should have won it two.
Speaker 2: I'm already bored of Seth's title reign. Logan and Ricochet
Speaker 2: was good, Shana Basler and ron A Rousey was hard fought.
Speaker 2: I think the Battle Royal should have had a better prize,
Speaker 2: like maybe a title shot of some sort. But this
Speaker 2: is I'm definitely happy that La Knight won. Yeah, moving on,
Speaker 2: There's been loads of injuries lately, or am I I
Speaker 2: just lost myself? Oh? Surely the tag team titles should
Speaker 2: have been made vacant, while the men's and women's it's
Speaker 2: all going a bit crazy. I think those titles are cursed. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I agree and can For God's sakes, can we please,
Speaker 2: since we've unified physically the belts that were unified, can
Speaker 2: we please do that for the men's tag team titles? Please? Please,
Speaker 2: please please? What's wrong with him is his face on
Speaker 2: raw He looked like a tomato. I found it quite
Speaker 2: amusing when the mis called La Knight an Attitude era fanboy.
Speaker 2: His mic work is always good. In La A Knight
Speaker 2: once again rose to the occasion. He gave as good
Speaker 2: as he's got and more like Knight from the start,
Speaker 2: and it's good that he is. This over was a
Speaker 2: good back and forth between the two. But the real
Speaker 2: question is why was Alle Knight on raw? Oh wait,
Speaker 2: because we know the brand split doesn't matter. Yes, I
Speaker 2: I just went over that. But are we complaining? You
Speaker 2: know what I mean with this? And that's what WW
Speaker 2: you'd say, was, well, are you complaining? He was there?
Speaker 2: You know what I mean? So there's that. But I
Speaker 2: also I'm a big stickler for brand split rule enforcement.
Speaker 2: Shosh please, I'm glad that Chad is getting a push.
Speaker 2: He's a brilliant athlete and his promos have always been entertaining,
Speaker 2: especially recently. Can Gable be the guy to dethrone Gunther?
Speaker 2: It seems unlikely. He would definitely deserve it, thank you.
Speaker 4: So.
Speaker 2: No, It'll be a fun, hard fought, you know, a
Speaker 2: bit of a David Goliath, a bit of that dynamic
Speaker 2: going on with the size difference, A pure wrestling match
Speaker 2: that's physical, a lot of suplex, is a lot of
Speaker 2: impressive I think maneuvers coming from Gable. This is a
Speaker 2: sneaky match here. Not that I think Gable has any
Speaker 2: chance to be Gunther. He doesn't. For the biggest reason.
Speaker 2: Number one is Gunther is an inch away from being
Speaker 2: able to claim he is the longest running icy icy
Speaker 2: champion of all time. You think WWE is gonna not
Speaker 2: cross that for Gunther? They have massive plans for Gunther.
Speaker 2: Gable's not gonna be the one to stop that. No chance,
Speaker 2: zero chance. I don't care who comes back right now,
Speaker 2: Gunther will cross that threshold, all right. I just can't help.
Speaker 2: But like Shinske, I have always have, and it appears
Speaker 2: he's getting a lot more TV time lately. Always good
Speaker 2: in the ring. He's charismatic and I enjoy his character.
Speaker 2: Good to see him in the main event. You know,
Speaker 2: you're noticing a pattern here though guys generally guys, not
Speaker 2: just you King's Gully here everyone. They're pushing people they
Speaker 2: normally wouldn't that have been there. They're not new, But
Speaker 2: I think they're doing this because they have a couple
Speaker 2: of b pay per views coming up and time to
Speaker 2: fill before Survivor series. And I'm not saying that the
Speaker 2: guys and gals here are fillers, but I think they're
Speaker 2: giving these men more of an opportunity than they otherwise
Speaker 2: would because it's a bit of a lull before another
Speaker 2: major pay per view, and I don't know, just some
Speaker 2: thought there I tweeted or xed, yeah, I don't understand
Speaker 2: the X thing. It's still tweeted, like sure the x
Speaker 2: X is cool looking, but like so I don't know
Speaker 2: a whole nother topic. So you tweeted to Cody Roadse.
Speaker 2: They told him to stop asking a stupid question that
Speaker 2: we as fans cannot answer. He didn't respond, but unfortunately
Speaker 2: I try. Well, thank you for trying. I really appreciate that.
Speaker 2: But he continues to come out there. Cody Rhodes does
Speaker 2: and ask a question that the fans still cheer, but
Speaker 2: it's like a mild cheer, and it's only they're only cheering,
Speaker 2: I think, because he mentions their city. That's it. That's
Speaker 2: the only reason. He inserts insert name of city, What
Speaker 2: do you want to talk about? Insert name of city?
Speaker 2: What do you want to talk about? That's it. A
Speaker 2: little bit of MJF for you there, But that's what
Speaker 2: he does. That's it. And the only reason that people
Speaker 2: cheer is they said, the name of our city isn't
Speaker 2: that cool? I'm from here, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: It's just it's nonsense. And the way he also delivers
Speaker 2: it is just I want someone to punch him in
Speaker 2: the face. He does it in a sly smile, knowing
Speaker 2: he's about to get a pop. But that also no
Speaker 2: one can answer this. There's no coherent, cohesive, collective answer
Speaker 2: to this other than just okay, open ended question. I
Speaker 2: guess we're just gonna cheer because he mentioned our city
Speaker 2: a few words ago. It's ridiculous, but he continues to
Speaker 2: try to make it a thing. It's not a thing.
Speaker 2: People aren't cheering along. You notice no one is speaking
Speaker 2: along with him. If it was so over, Cody, after
Speaker 2: you've been doing this for months and months, wouldn't people
Speaker 2: be saying this along with you as your catchphrase. Instead,
Speaker 2: you rely on the people cheering and get false validation
Speaker 2: from people cheering only because you mentioned the name of
Speaker 2: the city, not because it's a good catch line a catchphrase. So,
Speaker 2: and also the way Cody delivers his promos, he's just
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't want to go into it.
Speaker 2: I'm starting to side with Anthony Debarco on turning completely
Speaker 2: on Cody in terms of his baby face character. Excellent
Speaker 2: in the ring, he feels like a main eventor but
Speaker 2: just miss cast. Even though I Understan and the Popsi's
Speaker 2: getting and all that. I get that, I know. I
Speaker 2: also feel like I'm in the minority on this too,
Speaker 2: and that's cool. But all right. I could go on
Speaker 2: a whole massive Cody Die tribe now about his promos.
Speaker 2: But yeah, alright, moving on. The worst thing about Roll
Speaker 2: this week was the return of the New Day, same
Speaker 2: boring gimmick. I don't get why anyone likes them, cheers
Speaker 2: for them, and it's obvious they were going to win. Lame.
Speaker 2: New Day sucks. You are my new favorite listener listener
Speaker 2: of the day. Should I feel like I should insert
Speaker 2: some kind of some kind of applause there? If I
Speaker 2: had a soundboard, I would. I'm also looking forward to
Speaker 2: working with Rocky Team Michael Gross and mav on an
Speaker 2: upcoming episode. Be fun to make my debut. Enjoy your
Speaker 2: day peace out. Yeah, I'm looking forward to that too. Cool.
Speaker 2: All right, guys, let's keep rolling here. Let's see I
Speaker 2: have to heavily Oh this is from Malachi, and Malachi says,
Speaker 2: I have to heavily disagree with you in the statement
Speaker 2: you made on Summer Slam Review about nobody wanting to
Speaker 2: see Bianca bell Ara's champion. Maybe you don't want to
Speaker 2: see his champion. But the casual fan of majority of
Speaker 2: people in attendance cheered loudly when she came out and
Speaker 2: popped loud when she won the title. She gets reaction
Speaker 2: as loud as anyone. So I'm confused with this notion
Speaker 2: that nobody wants her as champion. Maybe she needs to
Speaker 2: take a well deserved break and hiatus for the marks
Speaker 2: to see important and vital she is to the company
Speaker 2: and the women's division. Okay, well here, so here, here's
Speaker 2: the deal, Balachi. When you heard the reaction for Bianca,
Speaker 2: it was more of that they don't want Oscar as champion. Okay,
Speaker 2: people would have cheered, if cheered for if Charlotte won,
Speaker 2: and cheered maybe louder. Bianca Bellair just came off being champion. Okay,
Speaker 2: She's been championed essentially since WrestleMania thirty eight, and we
Speaker 2: need a break from Bianca Bellair as champion. We just
Speaker 2: do it. Was more, I believe, a just happy the
Speaker 2: fans aren't gonna continue to see Oscar's champion because Oscar
Speaker 2: is champion is a snooze fest. It just is It's
Speaker 2: not that people hate Bianca Belair, or rather I think
Speaker 2: they hate or they don't. I think people are bored
Speaker 2: with her babyface character and that she should turn heel.
Speaker 2: I believe that, I continue to believe that she would
Speaker 2: be much more successful at this point and give her
Speaker 2: a refresh. But the cheer I think had a lot
Speaker 2: to do with people just wanting to see Osca not
Speaker 2: as champion rather than more because Bianca. People are excited
Speaker 2: to see Bianca as champion. Case in point, when we
Speaker 2: had EO Sky cash in, the pop for Eo Sky
Speaker 2: winning and beating Bianca was exponentially louder than Beanca winning
Speaker 2: the title in the first place, which told you people
Speaker 2: are ready for a change here. So I guess we'll
Speaker 2: agree to disagree. Right, all right, let's continue to Let's
Speaker 2: see who we want to go to Nick from Oregon.
Speaker 2: Nick says the women's division, at least the top of
Speaker 2: the SmackDown card, seems to have a face heel problem,
Speaker 2: although is it a problem outside of Bianca Bellair? Who
Speaker 2: may close the expectator, who may close to the expected
Speaker 2: heel turn? Who may be close or Zelena Vega? Can
Speaker 2: you name one superstar on the brand that's strongly defined
Speaker 2: has a strongly defined position. Charlotte and Oska both are
Speaker 2: being booked as baby faces but work better as heels.
Speaker 2: EO she sure she comes off like a new babyface champion,
Speaker 2: but isn't Damage Control supposed to be a heal faction?
Speaker 2: Even the mid card is muddy Shatzi. Is she supposed
Speaker 2: to be the baby face to Bailey's heel or vice versa?
Speaker 2: Does anyone care? Mitchen, I guess the OC is a
Speaker 2: babyface faction just with zero heat. Iila don and albe fire.
Speaker 2: Who knows? Do you see this as a problem. It
Speaker 2: just feels like right now, coming out of coming out
Speaker 2: of Ray, outside of EO, there isn't much heat for
Speaker 2: any of them. So I wonder if creative needs to
Speaker 2: figure out more defined roles. If I'm fantasy booking this.
Speaker 2: After some time off, Bionca turns heel, joining Lashley, knew
Speaker 2: her business and goes after whoever is still champion at
Speaker 2: the time. Yeah, that's some good points there, Nick. When
Speaker 2: you look at the all the women on SmackDown, there
Speaker 2: there could be cases of, well, this person's booked as
Speaker 2: a heel, but they're getting a they're in a heel faction,
Speaker 2: but they're still a new champion like EO, and she's
Speaker 2: still getting a big reaction as a babyface. What I
Speaker 2: think WWU chalk this up to is, well, there's shades
Speaker 2: of gray. There's shades of gray. Everyone shouldn't be defined
Speaker 2: in just strict categories. I firmly disagree. I understand there
Speaker 2: are shades of gray, but in in pro wrestling as
Speaker 2: a presentation, you want to be able to have clearly
Speaker 2: defined good and evil. It's it really boils down in
Speaker 2: pro wrestling at its core when it's the most successful,
Speaker 2: clearly defined roles of who's playing good and who's playing evil.
Speaker 2: That's it. I know that. Oh that's rue. Oh that's rudimentary,
Speaker 2: that's elementary. No, that's what it is. Who do you
Speaker 2: want to see beat the other? Why do you want
Speaker 2: to see this person beat this person up? What did
Speaker 2: that person do that deserves it? Right?
Speaker 6: That's it?
Speaker 2: Or what do you want to see that person achieve? So,
Speaker 2: and that's really what it is. That's not all it is,
Speaker 2: but that's at its very just root, that's what it is.
Speaker 2: And so, yeah, I don't know if it's it's a
Speaker 2: problem only if it's if attention is drawn to it,
Speaker 2: where the reactions flip flop, you know, Like what I
Speaker 2: think the worst example of this or best, depending on
Speaker 2: how you look at it is Ronda and Shana. They
Speaker 2: we don't know still to this day, who is the
Speaker 2: babyface and who's the heel. I would imagine most people
Speaker 2: were cheering for Shana, but not strongly. It wasn't overwhelming
Speaker 2: that that was kind of a mess of a heel
Speaker 2: babyface dynamic, and ww didn't seem to care. Sometimes it
Speaker 2: just happens. But right now, yeah, right, Like Charlotte is
Speaker 2: be is booked as a babyface, but she's clearly better
Speaker 2: as a heel, and sometimes she says things that are
Speaker 2: very heelish. I mean, you're never gonna get exactly everything
Speaker 2: lined up perfectly to go. This person is, you know,
Speaker 2: excuse me, the the epitome of a baby face, and
Speaker 2: this person's the epitome of a heel. You get that occasionally,
Speaker 2: but more often than not. Right now, they just kind
Speaker 2: of they do have wishy, washy people on the women's side,
Speaker 2: and some of the men as well, no doubt. I mean,
Speaker 2: this can actually be a whole You can make an
Speaker 2: entire show on this show an entire like kind of
Speaker 2: side podcast on the women's issues in wrestling or successes.
Speaker 2: I'm open to that. By the way, if someone out there,
Speaker 2: you know, I'd actually really like to have more women
Speaker 2: on this show to talk about women's wrestling. I think
Speaker 2: that would be a fun dynamic. I don't think there's
Speaker 2: enough women that talk about wrestling in our in podcasts,
Speaker 2: because well, it's a male demo, male dominated demographic that
Speaker 2: watched the product. But thanks Nick, very intriguing and good points.
Speaker 2: All right, let's see, let's go to Let's go to Ryan,
Speaker 2: and Ryan says, Hey, Matt, enjoying the adfree shows in
Speaker 2: your Summer Slam review. I've seen a lot of chatter
Speaker 2: online about the heel turn and Brock's off script heavy
Speaker 2: putting over of Cody. But am I crazy or didn't
Speaker 2: both Brock and Cody and Jay versus Roman both call
Speaker 2: for pin or submission with interference being a DQ. Shouldn't
Speaker 2: both Cody and Roman have been disqualified? Well, No, because
Speaker 2: the tribal combat was no disqualification. Now, if tribal combat
Speaker 2: includes no family members should be involved, and if family
Speaker 2: members do get involved, it's a disqualification. That's different. But
Speaker 2: I don't know if that was ever enforced. I think
Speaker 2: it was mentioned at one point, but it wasn't ever
Speaker 2: a point driven home. So I think they kind of
Speaker 2: let that fade away and they just made it a
Speaker 2: a no DQ match labeled and marketed as tribal combat.
Speaker 2: So I don't think Roman should have as far as
Speaker 2: Cody getting disqualified, you know, I don't. I don't think
Speaker 2: so that that was a straight up wrestling match though, right, yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean that was, But what did?
Speaker 5: Uh?
Speaker 4: What did?
Speaker 2: What should? Why should Cody have been disqualified?
Speaker 6: Though?
Speaker 2: What happened? I'm not sure?
Speaker 7: All right?
Speaker 2: I know this is all in order to move the
Speaker 2: stories forward, but I feel like Creative is completely throwing
Speaker 2: match stipulations and rules to the wind. What are your thoughts? Well, yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean, I guess that's a very broad statement. I'd
Speaker 2: have to get specifics when you're saying that they're throwing
Speaker 2: match stipulations and rules to the wind. They do that
Speaker 2: a lot, though. That's just that's just kind of the
Speaker 2: way ww has presented their product forever, where sometimes max
Speaker 2: stipulations and rules don't apply when they don't want them to,
Speaker 2: and do when they don't want them to or don't
Speaker 2: when they don't want them to. So that's a very
Speaker 2: broad statement. You'd have to give me specifics, but all right, PS,
Speaker 2: totally random, but if you and your listeners are interested.
Speaker 2: I was the guest on LA on August eleventh episode
Speaker 2: of Talk Is Jericho where we talked about UFOs yep,
Speaker 2: talk about a swerve for you, Oh cool, keep up
Speaker 2: the great work, and carats on al and ight finally
Speaker 2: getting the push we've been holding our collective breath on. Well,
Speaker 2: I wouldn't say he's got a push. I mean, right now,
Speaker 2: he's won a battle royal, which isn't exactly something you
Speaker 2: put at the top of your resume. L and D
Speaker 2: hasn't done much of anything yet, but it's the start.
Speaker 2: I would say, you know, it's the start. So you
Speaker 2: were on the Takas Jericho UFO discussion on August eleventh.
Speaker 2: I have not listened to that episode, but maybe I will.
Speaker 2: Maybe I will, because yeah, UFOs are something that I mean,
Speaker 2: I could probably create a whole podcast on that. That's
Speaker 2: kind of my side to interest as well, Like I mean,
Speaker 2: laugh if you will. But UFOs or uafs, it's unidentified
Speaker 2: aerial phenomena. Now is how they I guess, how they
Speaker 2: identify them or Bigfoot? Okay, bigfoot? I know which. I
Speaker 2: will say this, and I don't know if I mentioned
Speaker 2: this on the show. Very very much a side thing here.
Speaker 2: I was never really a big believer that there's bigfoot.
Speaker 2: You know, they clearly would have found remains. I didn't
Speaker 2: believe in it. And I'm not saying I'm not about
Speaker 2: to say I've seen one. Okay, I'm not. But what
Speaker 2: I will say is this, If you guys haven't seen
Speaker 2: the show Expedition Bigfoot, you should, Okay, some of the
Speaker 2: evidence they collect, and we're about to they're about to
Speaker 2: drop season four where they go to Alaska. I would
Speaker 2: highly recommend you watch that. It may it may make
Speaker 2: you well. Not they don't find like Bigfoot in front
Speaker 2: of their camera, but some of the things that they
Speaker 2: find in the woods are related to Bigfoot. It's it's
Speaker 2: indisputable evidence that there's something out there, and it just
Speaker 2: it just is. Okay. So I would very highly recommend
Speaker 2: if you're interested in such things, if you care about
Speaker 2: like cryptozoology and all that, watch Expedition Bigfoot. I know
Speaker 2: there's a lot of other big show Bigfoot shows out there.
Speaker 2: Some of them are just boring. You know, they're never
Speaker 2: going to find anything. Oh there's a knock in the woods.
Speaker 2: It must be Bigfoot, right you just the whole show
Speaker 2: is built up to just a knock in the woods.
Speaker 2: This show, it's real, it's not produced, it's it's raw,
Speaker 2: very well done. If you're interested in such things, watch
Speaker 2: Expedition Bigfoot. Okay, three seasons are about to drop. Season four. Okay,
Speaker 2: thank you Ryan. He got me all on a big
Speaker 2: Foot tangent. Now all right, let's see this is from Freeman. Firstly,
Speaker 2: I was impressed with Logan, Paul and Ricochet. The match
Speaker 2: was stunning. He made me forget why I found the
Speaker 2: whole situation dell to begin with. But now it's over,
Speaker 2: it felt like it felt a little too in the
Speaker 2: moment and doesn't seem to set anything up going forward
Speaker 2: or resolve anything that happened in the past. But over
Speaker 2: all the match, the quality of the match was perfect
Speaker 2: for an opener to get everyone in the mood, and
Speaker 2: unfortunately for a lot of people, the match quality went
Speaker 2: way down after this. Like it started at the top,
Speaker 2: it was sure. It was a great way to get
Speaker 2: to set the tone, but the tone wasn't followed through
Speaker 2: on all right, Brock versus Cody, I felt a little lost.
Speaker 2: I'm told Brock is a big name in an all
Speaker 2: time great I've never heard of him before this arc,
Speaker 2: and so my expectations were higher after hearing all the
Speaker 2: love he gets. Maybe I built it up too much
Speaker 2: of my head, but I came away expecting more from him.
Speaker 2: What was overall a good but fairly run of the
Speaker 2: mill match. Well wait, wait, wait for First of all,
Speaker 2: wait did you say you you've never heard of Brock
Speaker 2: before this match? Uh? If that's the case and you're
Speaker 2: not just pulling my leg, how is my first question?
Speaker 2: Even if you're not a fan of wrestling or whatever,
Speaker 2: even if you don't know what pro wrestling is, if
Speaker 2: you've never even understood what WWE is, you don't understand
Speaker 2: the content of pro wrestling, it's actually impressive that you've
Speaker 2: gone I don't know how old you are, but you've
Speaker 2: gone presumably a few decades in your life, and you
Speaker 2: have not heard the name Brock Lessner in any capacity.
Speaker 2: I mean, he isn't just WWE. Obviously had a very
Speaker 2: accomplished career at MMA, he's he is at this point
Speaker 2: a household name, so I'm not making fun of you.
Speaker 2: It's actually more impressive that you've never if you've never
Speaker 2: heard of him before, that's so kind of cool in
Speaker 2: a very strange way. The MMA rules match them having
Speaker 2: to explain the rules of the ring just before started
Speaker 2: starting made me laugh. It shows how ill thought out
Speaker 2: this whole thing was and made me realize how sloppily
Speaker 2: thrown together the whole story is. From a lackluster betrayal
Speaker 2: through the past few weeks up to not even knowing
Speaker 2: the rules of the match before the match starts. No
Speaker 2: planning was putting into the put into this and going
Speaker 2: to and it showed Yeah, I mean I understand that.
Speaker 2: And no one was a fan of Let's be honest,
Speaker 2: no one was a fan of this. Most people weren't.
Speaker 2: But it's over and we can move on. The Women's
Speaker 2: Championship belt in EO Sky taking the belt just seemed
Speaker 2: a little bit too predictable, And when I sat down
Speaker 2: I thought about it. There wasn't anything else CEO could
Speaker 2: actually deal with. The money, the bank contract. They aren't
Speaker 2: gonna have both women's belts on SmackDown, so there's only
Speaker 2: one belt and she will that she could cash in on.
Speaker 2: So if she didn't use it now, what would she
Speaker 2: be saving it for? So left one wondering what's the
Speaker 2: point of even having the women's money in the bank
Speaker 2: match when there isn't a cool use for the contract? Also,
Speaker 2: can we please separate EO from Bailey. I've only been
Speaker 2: watching a month and I were already sick of how
Speaker 2: joined the hip those two are. Well they tease them splitting,
Speaker 2: the tension has always been there. I was hoping that
Speaker 2: the whole faction of Damage Control had been just finally scrapped.
Speaker 2: But it's not. Sadly, but EO and Bailey. It needs
Speaker 2: to happen. Please. Bailey has been in the background for
Speaker 2: way too long at this point. Think about this. Bailey
Speaker 2: returned last year and she hasn't done anything of note,
Speaker 2: nothing since she returned and she formed her faction. So
Speaker 2: Bailey needs to come to the forefront. I miss Bailey
Speaker 2: as champion, or at least in the championship picture seth
Speaker 2: versus Finn was the highlight of the show. This sets
Speaker 2: up so much potential and ongoing story. I can't wait
Speaker 2: to see how it goes. All turns out and the
Speaker 2: beauty of this is Finn has no one to blame
Speaker 2: but himself, easy target to deflect blame from himself. Seeing
Speaker 2: how this spirals from here will be the major takeaway
Speaker 2: from SummerSlam for me. Well cool, your name's Matt so
Speaker 2: oh okay, Matt so very good, very good, very good.
Speaker 2: All right, let's what do we got? I think I have, Chandler.
Speaker 2: So Chandler says, let me talk to you. SummerSlam delivered
Speaker 2: for me personally, but I could see how some would
Speaker 2: say it under delivered. And the Finn and Seth match
Speaker 2: was by far a favorite creative finish, and cessattire was
Speaker 2: a nice touch. I forgot to talk about this last week,
Speaker 2: but the Cody and Brock video package was amazing and
Speaker 2: well together. They had a good song that needed that
Speaker 2: the need to do more like that. Oh so you're
Speaker 2: complimenting the song. Okay, Chandler, I think you're in the
Speaker 2: minority here, but teach the throne. I actually forgot New
Speaker 2: Day was on Raw didn't have much to say about them,
Speaker 2: yet no one cares as they returned. I'm sorry, no
Speaker 2: one cares when I say no one. Of course, there
Speaker 2: are people out there, but generally like, no one's talking
Speaker 2: about the New Day's return. It's not a it's not
Speaker 2: the first thing on people's minds. It's just run of
Speaker 2: the mill. All they're back, okay, sure whatever, Like that's
Speaker 2: that's the reaction. I mean, that's it's just kind of
Speaker 2: very much indifference. Let's see, I'm extremely happy that Gable
Speaker 2: got a win, and a big win at that. I
Speaker 2: don't think he's gonna beat Gunther, but it feels like
Speaker 2: it feels good to see him getting a nice push,
Speaker 2: albeit temporary. I mean just probably is back to Finn
Speaker 2: and Seth. With Finn attacking Seth on Monday, it feels
Speaker 2: like they're gonna have another match, but I feel like
Speaker 2: there's no reason to have another match unless they're gonna
Speaker 2: take the title off Seth. Well, I think this is
Speaker 2: leading to, more importantly, a Finn and Damien split. That's
Speaker 2: what I think. Becky and Trisha's is weird and boring
Speaker 2: and it makes zero sense. Last week that they had
Speaker 2: a match and Stark interfered, and this week beck says
Speaker 2: that they have another match next week. So to what
Speaker 2: stops Stark from interfering in the interfering is barred from ringside.
Speaker 2: Is it the steel cage? It makes a little sense, Well,
Speaker 2: is it in a steel cage? I don't. I don't
Speaker 2: think it is. But if they're gonna tell us and
Speaker 2: try to drive that narrative home that, oh well it's
Speaker 2: gonna be in a steel cage, so no one can interfere. No,
Speaker 2: that that has proven to be true zero percent of
Speaker 2: the time. In fact, it invites more interference. And you
Speaker 2: know what's more effective, Adam Pierce just telling people they're
Speaker 2: barred from Ringside and saying if you if you interfere,
Speaker 2: you're suspended. That that's more effective than a physical steel structure.
Speaker 2: Is just words. So if they truly want no interference,
Speaker 2: that's what will happen. I thought Shensky was already a heel.
Speaker 2: He attacked Champo for interfering in his match with Bronzo
Speaker 2: Reid three weeks ago, or maybe it was four, but
Speaker 2: I'm so confused right now. That's it for this week.
Speaker 2: This kind of leads into the previous emailer about the
Speaker 2: wishy washiness of defined heels and babyfaces. It's just kind
Speaker 2: of whoever, you know, it's for Shinske. It had been
Speaker 2: up to this point kind of a back and forth.
Speaker 2: Whatever we need you to be, you're gonna be that night.
Speaker 2: That's seems to be where Finn or Shin has been living.
Speaker 2: All right, let's see where else? I think. Let's see.
Speaker 2: I know I deleted there was an email I deleted
Speaker 2: by accident, and oh there it is Peter. This is
Speaker 2: the I think this is the final email. So Peter says,
Speaker 2: I don't know where you're from, but I don't know.
Speaker 2: I thought I saw a place. Let's move on. Is
Speaker 2: it ironic now that SmackDown? That it's SmackDown? Who needs
Speaker 2: to work hard to elevate the US title? We've spoken
Speaker 2: about Raw and needing to do this. While there was
Speaker 2: no World Heavyweight champion. Raw did a great job. Since
Speaker 2: Austin arrived on SmackDown, they've essentially let the title and
Speaker 2: theory go to waste. Speaking of theory, did they just
Speaker 2: throw him in the SummerSlam Battle Royal as gap filler?
Speaker 2: My wish is weirdly to see theory in the judgment day.
Speaker 2: I think theory would be a nice fit there. That's
Speaker 2: a hell of an idea. It'd be more relevant than
Speaker 2: anything he's done since WrestleMania, that's for sure. But I
Speaker 2: don't think SmackDown needs to elevate the US title. I
Speaker 2: think the talent need to elevate the US title. Creative
Speaker 2: needs to get back behind it. The US title has
Speaker 2: lost so much value since it was put in Austin theory,
Speaker 2: and that's really disappointing because we thought it would be
Speaker 2: the very opposite. There was even talking at one point
Speaker 2: of Austin Theory beating Roman Reigns for his title many
Speaker 2: months ago. Right, So it's really about just putting video
Speaker 2: packages together, some interviews again, having it be more of
Speaker 2: a central piece of SmackDown. It can be, especially if
Speaker 2: people are just the wrestlers are going to ignore the
Speaker 2: fact that there's a more important title around the world,
Speaker 2: waste of Roman Reigns. You can at least start to
Speaker 2: talk about the US title and make it not just
Speaker 2: a one segment but multi segment part of SmackDown. So
Speaker 2: all right, Peter, I almost missed you. That was a
Speaker 2: close one. All right, So let's see I think, uh wait,
Speaker 2: now hold on. I do this every time, guys, I
Speaker 2: told you this is a lot tonight you guys are
Speaker 2: you guys got a lot for me? But this is
Speaker 2: I promise the last email. If there's anybody else after this, sorry,
Speaker 2: I mean I need to get the voicemails. So this
Speaker 2: is from Thomas and he says, there goes Summer Slam.
Speaker 2: A mixed bag for me. The Women's Championship match had
Speaker 2: a fast pace and flow. It had non stop intering
Speaker 2: action without the need for an over the top spot.
Speaker 2: All three of them really showed their world class ability
Speaker 2: and further cements the standard need for the developmental rising
Speaker 2: of female stars to reach the top. Eo skycashing in
Speaker 2: and winning the Women's Championship was amazing and well deserved.
Speaker 2: I think she will turn on Bailey, claiming to have
Speaker 2: used Bailey after she becomes less relevant. I hope it's
Speaker 2: the other way around. I think Bailey turns on her.
Speaker 2: I hope that is happy to see La and Night
Speaker 2: get a pl e win. I would have preferred it
Speaker 2: to be something more meaningful than a Battle Royale, which
Speaker 2: always feels like a filler to get the unused man active.
Speaker 2: Unused man active, but at least he has been rewarded
Speaker 2: and acknowledged again. Guys, Yeah, this is a starting point
Speaker 2: for Night. I know everyone wants a bigger victory, but
Speaker 2: it's just the starting blocks we just started, and he
Speaker 2: needs something to ground himself in and this was it.
Speaker 2: So that's how I'm viewing it. My disappointment in the
Speaker 2: main event is beyond words, another solo interference for Roman
Speaker 2: and another Bloodline member for uh Uso being involved in
Speaker 2: the ending. I feel stupid for hoping Voldemort would come back,
Speaker 2: of course, referring to the rock and most opportunity and
Speaker 2: poetic time, the match was again incredible quality and in
Speaker 2: match storytelling at its finest. Roman moves on to new challengers.
Speaker 2: I'm guessing Jimmy turned on Jay as he felt Jay
Speaker 2: had no divine right to become the next travel Chief.
Speaker 2: Placing himself above Jimmy may have been regarded as disrespectful. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm sure it has something to do with that. That's
Speaker 2: probably something that they'll try to sell us, you know.
Speaker 2: All right, the main event the main question for you.
Speaker 2: Have you noticed the downed superstars are now constantly watching
Speaker 2: the referee pinfall counts and this seems to be happening
Speaker 2: more than ever. Roman is the true king of near falls.
Speaker 2: He can kick out with split seconds left with his
Speaker 2: eyes closed. Brock and Jay. Brock and Jay possess a
Speaker 2: similar ability. I think it was the balt Rollins match
Speaker 2: with the most pin watching Roman versus Jay had little
Speaker 2: to none. It's a pretty critique, but when you see
Speaker 2: the superstar look at the referee, you know they will
Speaker 2: kick out and it spoils the drama and shock massively.
Speaker 2: For me, surely the most important parts of the match.
Speaker 2: Stars and referees should practice their near pinfalls. I find
Speaker 2: this more frustrating than overly loud stars calling their moves
Speaker 2: in front of the cameras. That said, wrestling is in
Speaker 2: a great place at the moment. Bring on the next
Speaker 2: pl Sorry for the long email, and I haven't heard
Speaker 2: or I haven't heard your pre and post Summer Slam
Speaker 2: shows yet. I'll catch up Monday. Well, I'll enjoy the shows.
Speaker 2: That's an interesting and poignant observation. I've been critical of
Speaker 2: the announcers, specifically Cole, who is really good, but he
Speaker 2: just cannot help himself of calling something before it happens,
Speaker 2: which tells you the opposite is happening. So they're gonna
Speaker 2: win the championship right here, and it's like, oh f you, Cole,
Speaker 2: Now it ain't happening right not happening now. I know
Speaker 2: his job is to bring you in, make you believe,
Speaker 2: But anybody that's been a fan for any amount of
Speaker 2: time just immediately knows that you're just that's your job,
Speaker 2: and everything you say right now is the opposite. But
Speaker 2: that's interesting. Yes, I have noticed that, and I maybe
Speaker 2: my subconscious has just pushed that aside to make me
Speaker 2: just more engaged in the product. But if you don't
Speaker 2: know what I'm to if you don't understand the email here,
Speaker 2: what Tommy is saying is when there is a fall
Speaker 2: that is not going to be the end of the match,
Speaker 2: it's a near fall. If the camera catches the eyes
Speaker 2: of the guy on his back and you can see
Speaker 2: that person who's on their back looking at the referee,
Speaker 2: you know they're kicking out more often than not, if
Speaker 2: maybe it's one hundred percent. The reason is they're looking
Speaker 2: at the referee is because they're trying to gauge the pacing,
Speaker 2: the cadence of the count, so they kick out just
Speaker 2: in time. And I agree with you, Tommy, Yeah, I
Speaker 2: don't know what the solution is though. I mean, if
Speaker 2: you close your eyes and just use your ears, you
Speaker 2: could cause a situation in which you know, you're not
Speaker 2: getting all the information where the count of the referee
Speaker 2: might be off a little bit in your sound, and
Speaker 2: it doesn't give you the full picture, so you're not
Speaker 2: kicking out exactly when you should. Maybe what they could
Speaker 2: do is just close their eyes a little more so
Speaker 2: it doesn't look like their eyes are wide open looking
Speaker 2: at the hand. Come down to kick out right at
Speaker 2: two and three quarters. So now everyone can't unsee that.
Speaker 2: So thanks Tommy. Oh gosh, all right, so here we go.
Speaker 2: I think we're done. Yeah, we're done with the emails. Guys,
Speaker 2: even anyone emails me here. Sorry, Yeah, you're not getting
Speaker 2: on the show. I mean, you're just not sorry. I
Speaker 2: need to move on to voicemails, and we're gonna do
Speaker 2: that in short order right now. So let's do it.

Speaker 2: We'll talk to you next week and let's get to
Speaker 2: our next one.
Speaker 4: Hey, Matt and the rest of the rest of the
Speaker 4: talkis family. This is actually something different this week for me,
Speaker 4: for the first time in a couple of weeks. This
Speaker 4: is not the corredorate report I might even send sending
Speaker 4: isn't on on that Wednesday? I mean on Tuesday. I
Speaker 4: mean not Wednesday, Wednesday. Moniest thing isn't on Wednesday send
Speaker 4: me is sending this in Friday, one day before summertime.
Speaker 4: The reason why is I actually forgot to mention this
Speaker 4: in the left and my last voicemail for the quarterator
Speaker 4: report on the Mailbag Takeover edition and that voice I
Speaker 4: forgot to mention this. I'm actually going away on vacation
Speaker 4: for like two weeks to Hershey Park, Pennsylvania. We're going
Speaker 4: there from this coming Tuesday, the eighth, all the way
Speaker 4: to August nineteenth, So I'm gonna do lastly can with
Speaker 4: I'm'm really missing the next two mailbags. I'm spoken with listening.
Speaker 4: I have stop on my phone stuff. I'm spoken with
Speaker 4: listening to all the podcasts on the mailbag episodes while
Speaker 4: I'm on vacation. But uh, for the next two mailback episodes,
Speaker 4: I'm not going to be on them because I'm going
Speaker 4: to be on vacation. It's not really I'm gonna be
Speaker 4: a family so I'm not really going to drive, call
Speaker 4: or anything. It's funny with you guys, know, so if
Speaker 4: you don't hear from me next two weeks, yeah, that's why.
Speaker 4: So I think one wants to fill in with the
Speaker 4: cordiate report for the next two weeks, feel free. Someone
Speaker 4: wants to do the cordiated report for the next two mailbacks,
Speaker 4: go for it. But that's not It's okay, I get it.
Speaker 4: People are busy.
Speaker 9: Don't wanted to say.
Speaker 4: I'm We're gonna watching smerlim Be watching all the wrestling
Speaker 4: on my phone on the vacation, so I'm gonna be
Speaker 4: all caught up still. But that's all you got some
Speaker 4: two weeks, see you later, all.
Speaker 2: Right, Kyle. Well, enjoy vacation. I'm actually gonna be going
Speaker 2: on vacation myself, and that'll be going probably like four
Speaker 2: or five days, maybe six, starting next Saturday to the
Speaker 2: following Saturday. But I'll still be able to hopefully crank
Speaker 2: out some episodes here. The mailbag may be shoddy. I'm
Speaker 2: not sure how that's gonna work. We'll talk more about
Speaker 2: that next week. But you know, my best is my
Speaker 2: best effort will be made to continue to pump out
Speaker 2: content because I mean, we have Wi Fi. It's just
Speaker 2: a matter of finding a location. I'm in a house
Speaker 2: with a bunch of other people and a bunch of
Speaker 2: other kids. Sometimes I remember doing some shows in my car.
Speaker 2: Just bring my laptop in my car at night and
Speaker 2: like do that. So but anyway, Kyle, enjoy your vacation.
Speaker 2: I hope you have some rest. Well well, of course,
Speaker 2: you know, talk to you in a couple of weeks
Speaker 2: and appreciate your content. All right, Here we go to
Speaker 2: our next one.
Speaker 9: It's Kyle from Both Simers.
Speaker 8: I wanted to talk about the summer SPI last night.
Speaker 8: I thought overall was good for and the most I
Speaker 8: can't say Grabo was good, and I think for me
Speaker 8: what I was really hyped over was Eo Sky winning
Speaker 8: the championship, and I thought I had that thought for
Speaker 8: a while now that EO sort of cash in and
Speaker 8: when and when the championship at Summerslan, I kind of
Speaker 8: figured that was gonna happen, and selfis lab it did
Speaker 8: and to see so I'm sure what to get to
Speaker 8: do now with Eo as she had before SmackDown and
Speaker 8: all that stuff. So they'll be fun to see how
Speaker 8: how her reign's going to be fun and inter seen
Speaker 8: than an Oscar because I don't walk care for Oscar,
Speaker 8: but I like Eyale because the two both of them
Speaker 8: are Jebby stars. But I enjoyed Eal a little bit
Speaker 8: more than Osk. I don't know if it's the personality
Speaker 8: or what it is, but maybe because I think also
Speaker 8: to Eel takes is more to hes an Oscar. If
Speaker 8: you if you Oscar as like a child sometimes every
Speaker 8: touch he comes out there and Eo comes out there
Speaker 8: like she COEs out like a like an adult, like
Speaker 8: a you know, like to be more serious. So I
Speaker 8: like that, and so I like the attire being that
Speaker 8: Eales champion. The other thing is tear is that what's
Speaker 8: next for stats Morals at this point now after the
Speaker 8: feeding uh Finbala in a better match too, by the way,
Speaker 8: than money in the bank. What's next for him heading
Speaker 8: into you know now that they're clearly dreaded data break up,
Speaker 8: Lea's priests and valves that have some issues, what's that
Speaker 8: for stat Morawlands? Now that's just now his definitely just
Speaker 8: days over was a big expect for him. But that's
Speaker 8: why he sets the SummerSlam. But that's I think frontall.
Speaker 2: We have so many Kyles on the show a Detroit Kyle,
Speaker 2: we have new or Kyle, you know, so many Kyles.
Speaker 2: But Kyle, I will say, if you listen to show
Speaker 2: this point, I mean you kind of know what my
Speaker 2: answer is going to be. Is Shinzkana Camaro is going
Speaker 2: to be a nice holdover for a month maybe two
Speaker 2: maybe from Payback to fast Lane. And assuming there's no
Speaker 2: event in Saudi Arabia, which I don't see on the
Speaker 2: schedule right now. So assuming that's not the case, I
Speaker 2: really believe Drew McIntyre turns heel and then we get
Speaker 2: a Drew versus Seth program where he could truly take
Speaker 2: the belt off of Seth. Late in the year in
Speaker 2: November December, maybe at the Rumble, but at Drew heel Turn.
Speaker 2: It would be a lot of fun. It would just
Speaker 2: be it would be a lot of fun for Seth
Speaker 2: to work with, and really also Cody Rhodes, you know,
Speaker 2: maybe Cody Rhoads worked with Drew two. So that's what
Speaker 2: I think. All right, thanks so much, buddy. Let's let's
Speaker 2: go to our next one. A few left. I think
Speaker 2: we have three or four left, so let's let's do it.
Speaker 7: Hey, Matt, this is Mike from Connecticut, chiming in.
Speaker 4: It's been a couple of weeks.
Speaker 7: I've reached out to you, guys, but no major questions today,
Speaker 7: just a couple of observations I have for you. I've
Speaker 7: noticed that you are commenting here and there about the
Speaker 7: Intercontinental Belt being referred to as heavyweight champion, in other words,
Speaker 7: intercontinental heavyweight champion. They actually used to do that a
Speaker 7: long ways back, and I go back aways. You know,
Speaker 7: I'm fifty years old, so I've been watching the Golden
Speaker 7: Age of Polplomania in eighty five eighty six when I
Speaker 7: started watching, but specifically I do recall and it always
Speaker 7: stood out to me way even way back when I
Speaker 7: was a kid that the Macho Man Randy Savage referred
Speaker 7: to his Intercontinental Championship belt as the Intercontinental Heavyweight Championship.
Speaker 7: I don't recall anyone else doing that, but I do
Speaker 7: remember Macho Man doing that a lot, and he had
Speaker 7: the prestige to be able to do it because you
Speaker 7: have Really he was the macho man. You know, you
Speaker 7: believe that he was the Intercontinental evyweight Champion. So I
Speaker 7: just wanted to if you didn't ever pick up on that,
Speaker 7: I wanted to let you and your listeners know that
Speaker 7: way back he was once called that, at least by
Speaker 7: Randy Savage. And secondly, something that made me smile and.
Speaker 6: Laugh a little bit.
Speaker 7: A couple of weeks ago, you and Anthony were talking
Speaker 7: about I think they were still then tag team champions
Speaker 7: Chelsea Green. You referred to Chelsea Green as Rachel Green.
Speaker 7: So I'm calling you out on that.
Speaker 6: So I want you to tell all of our listeners.
Speaker 7: Exactly Rachel Green is and why that was in the
Speaker 7: back of your head. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm
Speaker 7: my biggest fan of I'm guessing you.
Speaker 6: Were of that show. It was a very, very very
Speaker 6: funny show.
Speaker 7: You don't go nine ten seasons without being obviously successful
Speaker 7: and funny. But it's time for you to step up.
Speaker 6: Who is not Chelsea Green?
Speaker 9: Who is Rachel Green?
Speaker 7: Matt have a great one w W podcast. You guys
Speaker 7: are awesome. Keep up the good work and I will
Speaker 7: talk to you soon. One last thing, can we get
Speaker 7: I lost my find of though, so I'll get back
Speaker 7: down that one. All right, take care fine.
Speaker 2: I'm being called out. I didn't know I did that.
Speaker 2: Sometimes I just make up words like I called p
Speaker 2: J McDonough. Sometimes I just do things that are in
Speaker 2: my because my brain says, no, this is a better way.
Speaker 2: This is their real name. Uh So, first of all,
Speaker 2: let me talk about the Intercontinental Championship. I think on
Speaker 2: the actual title it does say Intercontinental Heavyweight Championship, which
Speaker 2: I have no problem with. It makes it sound more prestigious,
Speaker 2: and it's heavyweight, so it's the strongest man only. But
Speaker 2: also if that's the case, that would mean there's a
Speaker 2: weight element to this in a weight qualification. And if
Speaker 2: there's a weight qualification, then I would imagine if we
Speaker 2: look back in the history of the Intercontinental title, that
Speaker 2: a lot of those men would not meet that qualification
Speaker 2: of being a heavyweight of over two hundred and five
Speaker 2: pounds whatever, I'm fine with it. I did not know
Speaker 2: that about the macho man. I have no problem with it.
Speaker 2: It's just interesting to me. It's just interesting, and Gunther
Speaker 2: certainly fits the bill to be a heavyweight, no doubt.
Speaker 2: Now as far as Rachel Green, who the hell's Rachel
Speaker 2: Green and not Chelsea? Obviously I misspoke, So Rachel Green.
Speaker 2: I'm thinking back, and I'm like, where the hell did
Speaker 2: I come up with that? I'm imagining because I watch
Speaker 2: a lot of Friends, the TV show, so Rachel Green
Speaker 2: is a big character on that right. Rachel Green, of course,
Speaker 2: is played by Jennifer Aniston, one of the most famous,
Speaker 2: if not her most famous role in all of television
Speaker 2: that she's done. So Rachel Green from Friends is probably
Speaker 2: what for some reason I was going to And I
Speaker 2: have been watching Friends lately, so I think that's probably
Speaker 2: where it came from. I don't have any other I
Speaker 2: don't have any ex's name Rachel or Rachel Green, like
Speaker 2: I don't have any past trauma with any woman named Rachel.
Speaker 2: So if if that's where you're going, I don't unless
Speaker 2: you know what happened, and I'm unaware of which I
Speaker 2: had many nights I don't remember that said. That's all
Speaker 2: I could. That's all. That's the only thing to come
Speaker 2: up with. I can't search in the bowels of my
Speaker 2: brain any deep deeper than that. But I'm glad you
Speaker 2: enjoyed Anthony, and myself I enjoyed talking with him as well. Okay,
Speaker 2: let's get to our next voicemail.
Speaker 9: Hey man, this is Justice for Maryland football as well.
Speaker 9: Just calling to talk to Summer Slam and very trouble
Speaker 9: questions for you. So, first, the main event, Roman and Jay.
Speaker 9: It was a good match. I just gotta say that.
Speaker 9: The hood Jimmy turn, it just really just.
Speaker 6: Okay.
Speaker 9: I once I was disappointed, but I just really didn't
Speaker 9: expect that to happen. Like I thought that, you know,
Speaker 9: Dre was gonna get you know, beat down, you know,
Speaker 9: he was gonna make a comeback, but not win. But
Speaker 9: I definitely didn't expect Jay to like turn and help
Speaker 9: Roman win. And it didn't even seem that Roman even
Speaker 9: knew what was going on. I don't know if he
Speaker 9: caught it, but Roman's face was just confusion and it
Speaker 9: looked like Paul Haymon like he was just standing behind
Speaker 9: Jimmy just like, you know, just doing his little FACI expressions,
Speaker 9: and it seemed like Paul Hayden might have had something
Speaker 9: to do with it, and Roman didn't know. So Devin
Speaker 9: interested to see where it goes SmackDown.
Speaker 4: I'm just not.
Speaker 9: I was just honestly made me sad because like, you
Speaker 9: turned on your own twin brother, like your little twin
Speaker 9: you guys are like almost the same, you look the same,
Speaker 9: and then you just turn on him in his biggest moment,
Speaker 9: And I just think back to when Jimmy, you know,
Speaker 9: when they had the whole segment and it came out
Speaker 9: that Jimmy that Jimmy was he was basically jealous of
Speaker 9: Jay because Jay was the right hand man and stuff.
Speaker 9: So I feel like they'll play on that, but I
Speaker 9: just really didn't. I just wasn't really happy with that, honestly. Next,
Speaker 9: let's see so Seth and I guess uh Stinsk next,
Speaker 9: I don't. I'm not really interested in that. Sina Stink
Speaker 9: has been teasing the Hill turn for weeks now, so
Speaker 9: I guess they pulled the trigger. So I guess they'll
Speaker 9: go with him and Seth at Payback, of course is
Speaker 9: not gonna win, probably get like a four star maybe
Speaker 9: five star match, but that it like, that whole thing
Speaker 9: was interesting because with Seth and Cody you can still
Speaker 9: feel the tension. Then I honestly thought that they would
Speaker 9: go with Seth and Cody at Payback. Then I'm like, no,
Speaker 9: because you honestly can't have Cody lose Clean right now
Speaker 9: and you can't have Seth lose. So I just like, Okay,
Speaker 9: something's going on. So I feel like they're gonna still
Speaker 9: do Cody and Seth one more time because they definitely
Speaker 9: have to finish that. But I definitely think Tessa's going
Speaker 9: to beat him because I don't think Cody's story is
Speaker 9: going to end with him win the world title. That
Speaker 9: let me see. So Drew McIntire things like we might
Speaker 9: be getting a character change. We didn't get him on
Speaker 9: roll this past week, but after his loss, he didn't speak,
Speaker 9: He didn't speak during the interview, So hopefully, you know,
Speaker 9: we do get a character changs for Drew. He lost clean.
Speaker 9: I'm sure hes Hi.
Speaker 2: Justin three minutes gets you again. Maybe three minute warning.
Speaker 2: Maybe that's what I'll just kind of like, name your name,
Speaker 2: your voicemails at this point your voicemail files that I
Speaker 2: download three minute warning Rosie and Jamal throwback to those
Speaker 2: that remember the early two thousands of their fishoff anyway, Okay, Jimmy,
Speaker 2: I agree it was. It was kind of a disappointment.
Speaker 2: You know, it was a turn. But was it a
Speaker 2: turn for the right reasons? I don't know. Time will tell,
Speaker 2: but it feels very Jeff Matt Hardy ish, where like, yeah,
Speaker 2: we know who's the heel, who's the good guy, who's
Speaker 2: the bad guy? We understand that, but are people even
Speaker 2: wanting to see this? Do people really want to see
Speaker 2: the usos fight one another? That's gonna be remain that's
Speaker 2: remains to be seen, no doubt about that.
Speaker 9: Now.
Speaker 2: As far as Cody and Seth, I don't think it's
Speaker 2: gonna be payback. I don't think it's gonna be at Fastling.
Speaker 2: I think it's gonna be Syberrivisse series or later. I
Speaker 2: really do. Hell, they could even fight each other at
Speaker 2: WrestleMania and wait that long, because now we've seen a
Speaker 2: pattern where one interrupts the other after their program is closed,
Speaker 2: and you think they're gonna go there, and then it
Speaker 2: happens again, and they get interrupted again and detoured. So
Speaker 2: they keep crossing paths but not able to follow through
Speaker 2: because they keep getting interrupted by side projects, right might
Speaker 2: by detours of other guys. So it's good. I think
Speaker 2: they're gonna keep doing this. They could string it out
Speaker 2: all the way to Mania. They could Seth and Cody
Speaker 2: could have their fourth match, because it would be their
Speaker 2: fourth and by the way, Cody has been and Seth
Speaker 2: all three times prior, and they could have that match
Speaker 2: up Madia. But then wouldn't that require one of them
Speaker 2: to turn heel doesn't always have to happen. Big babyface
Speaker 2: versus big baby faces is a is a dynamic we've
Speaker 2: seen before. But the fans usually will then be forced
Speaker 2: to choose someone to cheer for. It'd be it's a
Speaker 2: bit of a dangerous thing to do. But right now
Speaker 2: I don't think they have any intention in the short
Speaker 2: term of putting these two together. Yet they just keep
Speaker 2: teasing you, telling you it's coming. Thanks, justin a couple
Speaker 2: more and we'll close it out.
Speaker 6: This is Chris and Gallia.
Speaker 10: Albert, so we're also going to be at SmackDown and Calgary,
Speaker 10: and but right now we would like to.
Speaker 6: Talk about summer slum all right, Matt started off, we'd
Speaker 6: like to hear a rant, what are the logistics of
Speaker 6: having four main event matches at a pay per view
Speaker 6: or pl e.
Speaker 10: Wow, well we've only got three minutes, Chris, So let's
Speaker 10: talk about the nine matches and our takeaways from the
Speaker 10: Summer flin.
Speaker 6: First of all, Logan Paul and Ricochet, so we both
Speaker 6: agree it was amazing athleticism, great match, kind of furnished
Speaker 6: finish with brass knuckles.
Speaker 10: Yeah, but typical Logan Paul slimy styles, okay.
Speaker 6: And so what do we not like about this?
Speaker 10: Mostly we do not like the fact that Logan Paul
Speaker 10: is taking his prime energy drinks from children. Very very
Speaker 10: bad stuff.
Speaker 6: Controversial things, yeah, not okay, okay. Cody Roads first, brock Lesner.
Speaker 6: I didn't like that brock Lesner could not finish Cody Roads.
Speaker 6: He was weak and out of it, but brock couldn't
Speaker 6: do it.
Speaker 10: You know what, I thought that Cody Rhodes really deserved
Speaker 10: to finally win this.
Speaker 6: But you know, ultimately, what was the best part. The
Speaker 6: best part was the handshake of the end.
Speaker 10: So honorable, very very classy of brock Lesner. And I'd
Speaker 10: really like to see something from Brocklester in the future,
Speaker 10: maybe some real good guy stuff.
Speaker 6: All right, but La Knight, we don't have any time.
Speaker 6: We've kind of watched it here, so we'll move past him,
Speaker 6: La Night.
Speaker 10: I'm freaking tiny.
Speaker 4: Won something was so happy?
Speaker 6: Okay, So Shana and Ronda this was our standout. Oh
Speaker 6: my gosh, Shane is cool.
Speaker 10: Sena. We just loved the humanity that w W brought
Speaker 10: out in her.
Speaker 9: Love her story.
Speaker 10: Really now we feel like we can get behind her own.
Speaker 6: And we're like, yeah, all right, what was funny?
Speaker 8: Say it?
Speaker 6: It was funny nuts on the rope.
Speaker 4: It was so funny.
Speaker 10: Yeah, it was terrible.
Speaker 4: It was terrible, you know what, really good watch.
Speaker 10: Unfortunately, Drew had a mishap towards the end, splash from Gunther.
Speaker 10: He just he just couldn't hang on just seconds. Okay,
Speaker 10: but you know what, we and then we like to
Speaker 10: see a matchup with maybe True McIntire, black lessons in
Speaker 10: the future.
Speaker 6: Wants warriors, Yeah, right, warriors.
Speaker 10: Okay, seth Rawlinson finish.
Speaker 6: He was possessed as he was going for that briefcase.
Speaker 6: That's you know what, why couldn't the judgment day.
Speaker 10: Just stay the heck out of the out of the.
Speaker 6: What did you think we do? All right?
Speaker 10: Triple triple threat? You know what, I didn't really like
Speaker 10: the match with the women.
Speaker 6: It was ok it was okay, But no, the tribal
Speaker 6: chief would ever do this.
Speaker 10: No, no tribal chief would.
Speaker 8: Ever do this.
Speaker 6: No honor.
Speaker 2: All right, Christ and gall you guys, certainly that's called
Speaker 2: maximizing your minutes, folks, that is maximizing your minutes. You
Speaker 2: guys crammed it all in three minutes. Amazing, I mean amazing.
Speaker 2: I'm imagining you guys hit the timer right when the
Speaker 2: voicemail started, so you knew exactly how much time you
Speaker 2: had left. Well done, well done. Yeah, you guys are
Speaker 2: attending SmackDown. We will set up a time to talk
Speaker 2: about that. I'll message you or just email me. I know,
Speaker 2: I thought you messaged me on Facebook. I've got I
Speaker 2: got so many messages on Facebook. I think it got
Speaker 2: lost in the sauce. My Facebook page is starting to
Speaker 2: really take off for some reason. I'm not complaining about it.
Speaker 2: I just have so many messages. So email me, all right,
Speaker 2: mail bag at ww podcast dot com. Email me, because
Speaker 2: if we're gonna talk on Skype, which is how record
Speaker 2: the calls. We'll do it that way. And if we're
Speaker 2: going to talk about SmackDown, then let's talk on Sunday evenings.
Speaker 2: Sunday evenings like ninety nine thirty pm Eastern Standard time
Speaker 2: is about usually when I record. So some specifics there,
Speaker 2: but let's get to a couple of your comments here.
Speaker 2: So didn't like the women's triple threat. I agree it
Speaker 2: was a meh. Now, as far as logan, Paul, you're
Speaker 2: villainizing him for taking the Prime drink away from a child, right, Well,
Speaker 2: you know, looking at the nutritional facts on this, should
Speaker 2: a child really be you know, drinking a essentially an
Speaker 2: energy drink at that time and night. Anyway, I think
Speaker 2: he did a service to the parents. I mean, he's
Speaker 2: doing Od's work here, Like, I think he really helped
Speaker 2: out the parent here of not having a wired child,
Speaker 2: you know, drinking Prime. Okay, looking at the ingredients of Prime,
Speaker 2: I mean, it's not the worst drink in the world
Speaker 2: that I looked it up, because I'm like, what is
Speaker 2: in this thing? Right? It does have it overload of
Speaker 2: vitamins and potassium and magnesium and all that. It does
Speaker 2: have a little bit of sugar.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 2: It's just it's not probably something I would be drinking.
Speaker 2: I wouldn't you. I'm thirty eight years old. I STI
Speaker 2: wouldn't drink this at that time of night. So the
Speaker 2: parents are probably like, thank you, Logan, Paul, you know,
Speaker 2: thank you. I don't have to deal with a wired,
Speaker 2: you know, kid at ten, ten, eleven, twelve o'clock at night.
Speaker 2: But hey, guys, I really enjoyed the banter. I enjoyed
Speaker 2: You guys have a nice little chmistry going on there.
Speaker 2: It's almost like you have experience doing this or something.
Speaker 2: It sounds like you're like previous podcast hosts. I don't know.
Speaker 2: You guys have a nice chemistry. So let's get together.
Speaker 2: I want to hear more about your thoughts and of
Speaker 2: course us with SmackDown coming, let's talk email me all right,
Speaker 2: well we'll figure out time and all. Just very good.
Speaker 2: All right, let's hold on. I think we got we
Speaker 2: got what we got, we got one more, one more.
Speaker 2: So let's uh, let's get to that final voicemail guys,
Speaker 2: and then we can call it a night.
Speaker 11: Here we go, check check checking in. It's Rocky t Hello, everybody.
Speaker 11: I just want to let everybody know that I will
Speaker 11: be taking a small sabbatical from the Mailbag, not from
Speaker 11: the podcast, just from my entries into the mail bag.
Speaker 11: Don't worry. I'm still an active listener and every week
Speaker 11: a loyal religious listener. I noticed that we are getting
Speaker 11: a lot of new patreons, and I know all these
Speaker 11: people want to have their voices heard on the Mailbag,
Speaker 11: and I want that for y'all too as well.
Speaker 9: Y'all know Rocky Tea.
Speaker 11: Always has a lot in his mind and sends in
Speaker 11: a page long email, and I want to give my
Speaker 11: spot to somebody who's a new page John to have
Speaker 11: their voice heard. My voice is being heard with the
Speaker 11: Wrestle Magic episodes with me doing the aw collision every
Speaker 11: other week, so don't worry, I'll still be a part
Speaker 11: of that. We have a couple of irons in the
Speaker 11: fire right now. First and foremost, Cuzmo, I got the
Speaker 11: episode ready for you, buddy, me and the gardener, I
Speaker 11: have it ready for you. Let's make the time and
Speaker 11: let's knock it out. I got the format ready, We
Speaker 11: have it ready for you.
Speaker 3: Man.
Speaker 11: Let's just let's get it together and see when we
Speaker 11: can whenever we can set the time to get that done.
Speaker 11: We are also working on an episode with the Gardener's nephew.
Speaker 7: This one will be titled not Everybody Can Be a
Speaker 7: Top Guy.
Speaker 11: This is gonna go hand in hand with what we
Speaker 11: just saw as Summersland with the right handed Man trying
Speaker 11: to be the top guy.
Speaker 6: We will explore what.
Speaker 11: It takes to be a WW superbar superstar, but most
Speaker 11: of all, what it takes to be a top guy
Speaker 11: in the business. To piggyback on Kuzmo's episode, which is
Speaker 11: gonna feature the songs, we are working on an episode
Speaker 11: with Missus Rocket Tea which we will explore makeup artists,
Speaker 11: ring gear, et cetera, behind the scenes things that we
Speaker 11: don't see or even think about, which goes hand in
Speaker 11: hand with theme music. So all that stuff is coming together.
Speaker 4: Again.
Speaker 11: I will be listening actively. I will chime in if
Speaker 11: something comes up that just has to be talking about.
Speaker 11: But for the meantime, I've got so much research going
Speaker 11: on with all these episodes that it's hard to keep
Speaker 11: up with my mailbag emails because I construct those all
Speaker 11: week long. So again, don't worry, I'll still be around.
Speaker 11: I'll still be listening. Everybody still me a favor every day.
Speaker 7: Do not have a good day, have a great day.
Speaker 7: Talk to you guys later.
Speaker 2: Oh, Rockey Tee appreciate the update of show. Listeners appreciate
Speaker 2: the update as well as to what's kind of going
Speaker 2: on the Wrestle Magic side of things. And now you
Speaker 2: are feeling the pressure of just getting things together for
Speaker 2: a podcast and recording and all that and your research.
Speaker 2: So yeah, it's it's quite a bear, and you know,
Speaker 2: we'll look forward to your return to the mail Bag.
Speaker 2: But you're listening and that's great. And you know, a
Speaker 2: lot of I know a lot of you kind of
Speaker 2: do the same thing, and well you don't have time
Speaker 2: to maybe contribute, you're still listening and we appreciate that.
Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean, hey, Rocket Tea, I really appreciate
Speaker 2: your contributions. You and Michael Gross do an excellent job
Speaker 2: Wrestle Magic. We have PJ Placo, we have Just Incredible,
Speaker 2: who is also a part of the mail Bag or
Speaker 2: a part of that part of the Wrestle Magic group,
Speaker 2: and you guys do such a great job. Just Incredible
Speaker 2: is going to be joining Michael and Rocky Tee on
Speaker 2: a monthly basis once a month, so that'll be a
Speaker 2: lot of fun and appreciate it. You know, you guys
Speaker 2: are keeping me, keeping me going. You guys keep me
Speaker 2: busy for sure. So one thing I want to say
Speaker 2: to Chris and Gallia not to disrespect you Rocket Tea,
Speaker 2: but as I was listening, I was like, oh, I
Speaker 2: didn't answer. The four main event thing for Wrestler for
Speaker 2: SummerSlam is a marketing ploy. There's one main event, it's
Speaker 2: the last match. That's it. I think that they're doing
Speaker 2: the four main event thing or multiple main events. They
Speaker 2: did that at WrestleMania. No, no, no, no, no, there's
Speaker 2: one main event. Main event is by its nature a
Speaker 2: singular thing. You can't pluralize it, even though they're trying
Speaker 2: to for marketing purposes to try to make it sound
Speaker 2: more important. No, the main event is the last match
Speaker 2: that goes on, end of story. That's it. I think
Speaker 2: they're doing it for the reasons of trying to make
Speaker 2: the talent not feel like it's all Roman reigns for
Speaker 2: three years and then oh, well, I'm part of the
Speaker 2: main event too, because WWE said I am, and also
Speaker 2: from the general public, it sounds like it's more important.
Speaker 2: Wait a minute, they don't just have one main event.
Speaker 2: They have four, no way, you know. And if you
Speaker 2: take two seconds, you're like, well wait a minute, No,
Speaker 2: they're just other matches before the main event. Don't don't
Speaker 2: try to insult my intelligence. It makes me crazy when
Speaker 2: they do this stuff. I know most people don't give
Speaker 2: a damn, but when I got to sneak that in,
Speaker 2: it's like, stop, it's not there's one and will only
Speaker 2: be one main event. And plus, if you're telling us
Speaker 2: there's multiple, doesn't that devalue when a main event means Now,
Speaker 2: I mean, look at the look just look at what
Speaker 2: main event means. It's the biggest match on the card.
Speaker 2: You can't tell me there are four biggest matches on
Speaker 2: the card. All right, it's getting late for me. I'm
Speaker 2: starting to rant. So Chris and Galio, what the hell
Speaker 2: are you doing to me? As far as again, Rocky T,
Speaker 2: thank you so much for the update, and we'll again
Speaker 2: we'll look forward to your return. We'll look forward to
Speaker 2: everybody returning next week. I am gonna sign off now
Speaker 2: because I am getting tired and I'm about to hit
Speaker 2: the hay for work tomorrow. But thanks everybody for listening.
