1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:04,160
Speaker 1: Saturday Night's main event is less than twenty four hours away,

2
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:09,359
and it's a one match show. That's it really is

3
00:00:09,439 --> 00:00:12,240
just all about the main event Tomorrow night tag team

4
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:14,839
match Cody Rhoades and Sea I'm Punk taken on Gunther

5
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:17,280
and Sammy zin and tonight we found out that there

6
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:21,480
are actual stakes on the line in this match. We

7
00:00:21,559 --> 00:00:23,600
actually had Cody and Gunther one on one in the

8
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:28,320
main event, which broke down into chaos with all four

9
00:00:28,399 --> 00:00:32,479
men involved. We found out on this show, as amazing

10
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:35,840
as it is, that Gunther is not fired or is

11
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:39,679
suspended after attacking the general manager of the show last week.

12
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:42,920
Nick Aldis, was not here today, but apparently he put

13
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:45,880
a good word in for Gunther and didn't want anything

14
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:48,240
bad to happen to him. So the match is on

15
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:50,960
and now we have the stipulation that if Gunther and

16
00:00:51,039 --> 00:00:53,840
Sammy z Ain actually win their match tomorrow night, which

17
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:57,719
they won't, but if they do, both men will be

18
00:00:57,799 --> 00:01:01,759
added to the championship match at Summer, which is looking

19
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:04,959
increasingly likely. It'll be the Night one main event and

20
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:07,359
it will turn into a fatal four way for the

21
00:01:07,439 --> 00:01:11,719
WWE Championship. On the one hand, I actually like the

22
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:14,799
fact that they added that stipulation. On the other hand,

23
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:19,000
it makes it patently obvious now who is winning and

24
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:23,239
who was not winning tomorrow night. I do like there

25
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:26,000
being something at stake though in that match. I do

26
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:28,400
like that aspect of things. It is quite amazing, though

27
00:01:28,439 --> 00:01:31,680
when you look at this car. We have four matches tomorrow,

28
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:36,439
and I was thinking about this, is this the weakest

29
00:01:36,439 --> 00:01:39,000
car the WWE has set up for a Saturday Night's

30
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:44,359
Main event this year, last year, maybe ever? And I

31
00:01:44,359 --> 00:01:46,480
can't even bring myself to say that, because when you

32
00:01:46,519 --> 00:01:48,480
look at some of the more recent shows they've done,

33
00:01:49,319 --> 00:01:51,760
we've actually had Saturday Night's Main Event cars that have

34
00:01:51,799 --> 00:01:55,439
had fewer matches than we have tomorrow. As hard as

35
00:01:55,439 --> 00:01:57,280
that is to believe, there was one, I want to

36
00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:58,799
say at the beginning of this year where we have

37
00:01:58,879 --> 00:02:03,280
three matches. It's like they've given up with some of

38
00:02:03,319 --> 00:02:06,120
these shows because it doesn't air on NBC anymore, right,

39
00:02:06,239 --> 00:02:09,759
So it's not that shiny new toy because they're not

40
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,560
on network TV either, just on Peacock now, so they

41
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:14,080
feel like they don't have to put quite as much

42
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:17,879
effort into it. But this is where we are, and

43
00:02:18,199 --> 00:02:22,120
that's tomorrow night. As far as SmackDown tonight, that was

44
00:02:22,159 --> 00:02:25,280
not the only piece of news that WWE made. There

45
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:28,400
actually was breaking news before SmackDown went on the air tonight,

46
00:02:28,439 --> 00:02:31,680
and they got more into detail about it on the show.

47
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,800
Rhea Ripley has not been present on this show since

48
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:39,840
the beginning of June. Actually maybe not since Clash in Italy.

49
00:02:40,719 --> 00:02:42,439
She was wrestling, I think it was a live event

50
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:45,000
in Italy back in early June. But we have not

51
00:02:45,039 --> 00:02:48,400
seen her on SmackDown in quite some time. And she's

52
00:02:48,439 --> 00:02:51,080
the WWE Women's Champion and now we're only a couple

53
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:54,479
of weeks away from SummerSlam, right, two three weeks whatever.

54
00:02:54,479 --> 00:02:58,759
It is kind of odd. We got an update from

55
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:02,000
her at the Power Slap event last week. She was

56
00:03:02,039 --> 00:03:04,439
asked about, you know, what's going on with you, and

57
00:03:04,479 --> 00:03:07,240
she said, well, you know, I've been dealing with a

58
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:10,919
bit of an injury. You have a slightly torn meniscus,

59
00:03:11,599 --> 00:03:14,599
but it's in a very weird place, and I'm having

60
00:03:14,599 --> 00:03:17,560
trouble bending my knee and I'm getting real close, but

61
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:19,879
like I'm not there yet, and so you know, we're

62
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:23,120
just trying to trying to get over the hump, and

63
00:03:23,159 --> 00:03:24,919
I said this the other day. I said, that doesn't

64
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:29,120
sound good. That does not sound like a positive update

65
00:03:29,159 --> 00:03:32,159
from somebody who is bound to be on the Summer

66
00:03:32,199 --> 00:03:34,919
Slam car defending her championship to a stripper of the belt.

67
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,039
Let her take all the time she needs to get

68
00:03:38,039 --> 00:03:40,840
her knee back to one hundred percent, because obviously you

69
00:03:40,879 --> 00:03:43,520
don't want her coming back if she's not tip top.

70
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,479
She's too important to that SmackDown brand. She's one of

71
00:03:46,479 --> 00:03:50,000
the biggest stars they have. And we'll just move on

72
00:03:50,039 --> 00:03:52,199
from this because it's been bad enough that we actually

73
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:55,080
have a women's World champion who is present every single

74
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:57,840
week on Raw but never defends her title, and then

75
00:03:57,879 --> 00:04:00,439
we have a champion on SmackDown who's injured in can't

76
00:04:00,719 --> 00:04:03,560
defend her titles. Something's got to give here, so just

77
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,319
stripper of the Championship. And my suggestion was you could

78
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:10,680
just make the Charlotte Flair Jade cargill inevitable match that

79
00:04:10,719 --> 00:04:13,719
we all figured was going to be announced. You can

80
00:04:13,759 --> 00:04:16,680
always make that a title match at Summer Slim and

81
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:18,399
put the belt on one of them. And when Rhea

82
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:21,120
comes back, she's got a ready made program to go

83
00:04:21,199 --> 00:04:24,519
back after her championship well, we now have an update

84
00:04:25,199 --> 00:04:28,759
on rear Ripley. She is in fact not going to

85
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:33,720
be stripped of her Women's championship. They are doing the

86
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:37,319
interim title bullshit that we have seen done in other

87
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:41,560
places like UFC and ae W. We know that Tony

88
00:04:41,639 --> 00:04:44,279
Kahan loves his interim champions and now they're doing it

89
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:49,839
in WWEE This is the update from earlier. Adam Pierce,

90
00:04:49,879 --> 00:04:52,240
actually they put a video out with him on social media.

91
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:54,680
Adam Pierce is the interim acting general manager in the

92
00:04:54,759 --> 00:04:58,079
absence of Nick All this and he announced that rear

93
00:04:58,199 --> 00:05:01,240
Ripley again, she's been out. She's been and recovering from

94
00:05:01,879 --> 00:05:05,480
a torn meniscus and they're not quite sure. She's getting

95
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:07,600
very close, but they're not quite sure when she's going

96
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,000
to be medically clear to compete. So she's out of

97
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:13,800
Summer Slam, and so what they've decided to do five

98
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:18,000
women are going to be decided upon. Five women are

99
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:22,920
going to qualify for a ladder match at SummerSlam to

100
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:28,639
create a new interim WWE Women's Champion, and then upon

101
00:05:28,759 --> 00:05:32,920
her return, Rhea Ripley will come back and we will

102
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:38,000
effectively have a unification match to have one singular undisputed

103
00:05:38,639 --> 00:05:42,879
WWE Women's Champion. If you've heard me talk about the

104
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:46,600
interim stuff before, and maybe I wouldn't mind it so

105
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,199
much like when Tony Kahn has done it in the past,

106
00:05:49,199 --> 00:05:51,040
if it was like a one time thing or at

107
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:55,720
every now and then thing. He loved the interim title stuff.

108
00:05:56,079 --> 00:05:58,759
And when I was talking about it even then, people

109
00:05:58,759 --> 00:06:01,120
were like, well, you know, the dude, UFC, And I'm like,

110
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,480
I don't give a shit. What does that have to

111
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:06,360
do with my thoughts on interim titles. Because UFC does it,

112
00:06:06,399 --> 00:06:09,439
that means it's okay. Because UFC does it, I'm supposed

113
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:12,600
to like it. I don't give a shit most of

114
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:14,639
the time, if not all of the time. I think

115
00:06:14,639 --> 00:06:17,480
it is fucking stupid. And I'll tell you what's even

116
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:21,439
dumber about it. They are so scared to take the

117
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:25,040
title off of Rhea Ripley because they want so badly

118
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:28,000
for her to still be the champion. When Crown Jewel

119
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:30,639
rolls around, right, we could very well be looking at

120
00:06:30,639 --> 00:06:35,079
a situation where it's Rhea Ripley representing SmackDown taking on

121
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:39,439
EO Sky representing Raw. Whatever their plans are. I think

122
00:06:39,439 --> 00:06:42,720
that's part of what's going on here, and they desperately

123
00:06:42,759 --> 00:06:44,839
want to make sure that Riha is still the champion,

124
00:06:45,879 --> 00:06:48,680
so they're gonna do this interim title nonsense instead of

125
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,240
doing the most sensible thing that there is to do,

126
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:55,600
which is, when you have a champion who was unable

127
00:06:55,680 --> 00:07:00,600
to compete and they are unable to appear, for example,

128
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:02,399
at one of their biggest events of the year due

129
00:07:02,439 --> 00:07:07,319
to injury, you strip them of the championship and you

130
00:07:07,399 --> 00:07:10,079
do exactly what you're doing here. You can have a

131
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,000
five way, you can have a six way, you can

132
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:14,759
have however many women you want. You have a ladder

133
00:07:14,759 --> 00:07:18,120
match at Summer Slam for the vacant championship to create

134
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:21,680
a new champion. When the now former champion is ready

135
00:07:21,759 --> 00:07:24,959
to come back, they will do so and they will

136
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,360
be able to challenge for the title that they never lost.

137
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,519
It's simple like this stuff does not have to be

138
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:35,879
overly complicated. There is no need. There is no need

139
00:07:36,519 --> 00:07:40,439
for there to be a second belt created, which for them,

140
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:43,199
it'll just be a replica they'll pull from WWE shop.

141
00:07:43,759 --> 00:07:45,680
I'm convinced most of the belts we see on TV

142
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,920
now or just replicas from WWE shop. And so they

143
00:07:48,959 --> 00:07:51,160
have to Now we have another champion, and now we're

144
00:07:51,199 --> 00:07:53,519
gonna have this stuff where who's the undisputed champion and

145
00:07:53,519 --> 00:07:58,560
all that. I'm like, why why she's already been out

146
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:01,399
since the end of May. Just strip her of the

147
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:05,399
championship and hold it up in a ladder match. But no,

148
00:08:05,519 --> 00:08:10,759
we have to do the interim title. Nonsense. Fine, idiotic

149
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:15,120
is what it is. And actually we had qualifying matches tonight.

150
00:08:15,199 --> 00:08:19,959
Speaking of idiotic, we had qualifying matches tonight. We had

151
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,879
In one of them it was Naya Jacks against Jade

152
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:25,759
Cargill and in the other one it was Tiffany Stratton

153
00:08:25,839 --> 00:08:30,519
going one on one with j C Jane. Jade Cargill

154
00:08:30,959 --> 00:08:33,120
is going to the ladder match at Summer Slim, which

155
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:34,519
as soon as you heard that it was going to

156
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:37,639
be Jade Cargill and Naya Jacks, you had to figure

157
00:08:37,639 --> 00:08:40,960
that that was going to be the case, which means

158
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:44,159
that they are absorbing what would have been the singles

159
00:08:44,159 --> 00:08:48,039
match between Charlotte and Jade into this ladder match now.

160
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:50,919
And look, it is what it is like again, if

161
00:08:50,919 --> 00:08:54,120
this is what they're gonna do, Rhea is hurt. It

162
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:56,840
is what it is. I get it because Charlotte and Jade,

163
00:08:56,919 --> 00:08:58,960
two of the bigger names in the division. Why wouldn't

164
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,879
they be in the ladder match? Fine, I have no

165
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:05,799
issue with that. I'll get to the actual matches and

166
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:08,559
how those played out here at a little bit. And

167
00:09:08,639 --> 00:09:10,720
in the other match, it was Tiffany Stratton, the United

168
00:09:10,759 --> 00:09:18,360
States Champion against jac Jane. Tiffany Stratton, Minnesota girl going

169
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:20,440
to Summer Slams. She will be in the ladder match.

170
00:09:20,799 --> 00:09:24,120
Jac Jane, thanks for coming. There is no spot for

171
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:26,159
jac Jane in the ladder unless they do some sort

172
00:09:26,159 --> 00:09:28,639
of last chance qualifier. She will not be in the

173
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:32,960
ladder match, which is absurd to me. But then I also,

174
00:09:33,039 --> 00:09:36,000
like I kind of scribbled down a list when this announcement,

175
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:39,159
this news first broke earlier, of like, well, who would

176
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:42,039
be in this match? Who would make sense to be

177
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:44,840
in this ladder match? And you have the obvious names,

178
00:09:45,159 --> 00:09:48,200
Charlotte Flair, Jade Cargill. Right, there's two of the five.

179
00:09:48,519 --> 00:09:53,039
Right there? You have Alexa Bliss. Alexa Bliss. They already

180
00:09:53,039 --> 00:09:57,159
shot an injury angle, right, Jade broke her arm last week,

181
00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:00,799
she's out. You ain't putting Alexa Bliz there. You already

182
00:10:00,799 --> 00:10:04,639
shot the angle, So she's off the table. You have

183
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:08,080
Tiffany Stratton. Now, she's already got the United States Championship.

184
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:12,159
She should be defending the US title at SummerSlam. There's

185
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:14,320
really no need for her to be in this matt Now,

186
00:10:14,399 --> 00:10:18,919
she is a former world champion, troop. But in a

187
00:10:18,919 --> 00:10:21,200
perfect world they would have already had a program set

188
00:10:21,279 --> 00:10:24,240
up for her. But of course they don't. And so

189
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:27,000
I get it. I understand why they would want Tiffany

190
00:10:27,039 --> 00:10:30,559
in this match. Minnesota girl, she's been going around doing

191
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,559
publicity for Summer Slam, right coming to my home state.

192
00:10:33,639 --> 00:10:36,000
I can't wait to go back home. Yeah, but you

193
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:39,440
got no fucking opponent. They've set nobody up for her.

194
00:10:39,639 --> 00:10:42,919
Who is she defending the US title against? What have

195
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:45,159
they set up for her to do at Summer Slam. Nothing,

196
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:46,639
So of course you're just gonna put her in the

197
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:52,519
ladder match. So Tiffany Stratton, Charlotte Flair, Jade Cargill. Right,

198
00:10:52,519 --> 00:10:55,000
that's three, right there? Who else do we have here?

199
00:10:55,399 --> 00:10:56,960
Put the batties on the side, all right, Put the

200
00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:02,279
batties on the side. Chelsea Green. Chelsea Green is not

201
00:11:02,279 --> 00:11:05,720
getting a spot in the Women's Championship ladder match. It's

202
00:11:05,759 --> 00:11:09,960
just not happening. Blake Monroe. She is allergic to wrestling.

203
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:13,080
They have yet to have her in the ring wrestling

204
00:11:13,159 --> 00:11:16,360
a match on any episode of SmackDown. Why would she

205
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:18,720
be in a ladder match for the women's champions And

206
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:20,720
if she can qualify, I think that would be great,

207
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:26,840
but realistically she's probably not getting any Julia and Keanna James.

208
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,639
Julia and Keanna James are so low on the totem

209
00:11:30,639 --> 00:11:33,240
pole you can't possibly expect any of them to make

210
00:11:33,279 --> 00:11:38,240
it into the ladder match. Julia maybe has an outside shot. Realistically,

211
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:43,279
it's probably not gonna Happenan Grace Jordan Grace is basically done.

212
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:48,200
I mean, she she's a complete non factor at this point.

213
00:11:48,639 --> 00:11:50,039
I had to look it up to see when the

214
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,360
last time was that she even wrestled. They have her

215
00:11:52,399 --> 00:11:55,879
wrestling sporadically on main event. I don't know what's going

216
00:11:55,919 --> 00:11:58,000
on with her. It's not like she's injured. If she's

217
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:01,159
wrestling on main event, she's she's done. I mean, I'm

218
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:03,240
sorry to say it, but basically she's out of the picture.

219
00:12:04,039 --> 00:12:06,480
So they don't really have a lot of options beyond that,

220
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:09,960
you know, I mean, you're looking at the names I mentioned,

221
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:12,720
and then again, if you want to, I think Blake

222
00:12:12,799 --> 00:12:15,120
Monroe may have to end up being in there because

223
00:12:15,159 --> 00:12:17,919
they may not have a better option here. I mean

224
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:22,679
beyond that again, you got Meechen b Fab fucking Candice Lay.

225
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:28,039
Who am I missing? That's basically it. This is what

226
00:12:28,039 --> 00:12:29,639
we're looking at. As far as the last and how

227
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:31,879
j C. Jane doesn't get a spot in this match

228
00:12:32,039 --> 00:12:35,519
is beyond me. But this is what we're looking at

229
00:12:35,639 --> 00:12:38,039
right now. As far as the women's championship is concerned

230
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:41,559
at Summerslim it is. It is not an ideal situation.

231
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:46,440
But again, this interim champion nonsense. I mean they're trying

232
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:49,480
to be Oh, we're trying to be like a real sport.

233
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:52,120
We're gonna have an interim champion. But again, you don't

234
00:12:52,159 --> 00:12:54,879
have to reinvent the wheel here. There's no need for this.

235
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:59,279
Just take the title away from her and crowning new champion.

236
00:13:00,159 --> 00:13:06,159
It's very simple. This was not a good show. It

237
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:08,759
was very dull for the most part. Actually, the thing

238
00:13:08,759 --> 00:13:10,759
that surprised me the most about this show, I mean,

239
00:13:10,799 --> 00:13:12,919
Phraxium going out there and having a good match is

240
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:16,759
not a surprise. It was a match though between Phraxium

241
00:13:16,799 --> 00:13:19,360
and the war Raiders, which the fans did not give

242
00:13:19,399 --> 00:13:22,480
a shit about when the war Raiders came out. By

243
00:13:22,519 --> 00:13:25,639
the time this match was over, though, it was, if

244
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:28,240
not the best thing, certainly up to that point in

245
00:13:28,279 --> 00:13:30,320
the show, the best thing, and actually, as I sit here,

246
00:13:30,519 --> 00:13:33,200
the best thing on the show as I reflect back

247
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:36,120
on that, the best thing on the show turned out

248
00:13:36,159 --> 00:13:38,080
to be Phraxium in the war Raiders, which was nice

249
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:40,000
because again, when was the last time the war Raiders

250
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:44,279
really did anything of note on TV? But that's the

251
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:46,120
best thing I could point to here on this show.

252
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:49,360
They did certain things as far as you know, kind

253
00:13:49,399 --> 00:13:51,799
of moving things along for tomorrow night. We saw that

254
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:53,440
at the end of the show with the big brawl

255
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:56,080
with all four men in the main event. They have

256
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:58,639
these qualifying matches. I liked the idea of their being

257
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:02,759
qualifying matches. The qualifying matches were no good Wait until

258
00:14:02,759 --> 00:14:04,600
I get to the stuff with Jade and I. It

259
00:14:04,639 --> 00:14:06,799
wasn't even a match. It was an angle more than

260
00:14:06,799 --> 00:14:10,759
a match. This was not a good show, you know.

261
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:13,279
I sat here for so long talking about how awful

262
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:16,360
three hours of SmackDown was, and I was advocating please,

263
00:14:16,399 --> 00:14:18,799
to the wrestling gods above, please can we get two

264
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:21,799
hours of SmackDown back? And I feel like now I

265
00:14:21,919 --> 00:14:25,159
need to start a petition to get SmackDown from two

266
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:29,000
hours to one hour, maybe ninety minutes. We'll compromise. How

267
00:14:29,039 --> 00:14:32,039
about that ninety minutes of SmackDown. This is what I'm

268
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:34,840
going to be advocating for from now on. I'm going

269
00:14:34,879 --> 00:14:37,960
to continue to cut time from this show until they

270
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,919
can figure out a way to get it right. Ninety

271
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:43,639
minutes of SmackDown is what we need. This is your

272
00:14:43,679 --> 00:14:48,240
SmackDown review. It is Friday night, July seventeen, twenty twenty six.

273
00:14:48,399 --> 00:14:57,279
July seventeenth, MM twenty eleven, fifteen years ago. Tonight I

274
00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:59,879
believe was the Was this the night that CM Punk

275
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:03,320
won the WWE Championship for the first time from John

276
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:07,159
Cena and money in the bank and then took his

277
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:12,240
title and put it in his refrigerator? A historic night.

278
00:15:13,879 --> 00:15:17,639
Like and subscribe. Super chats are open. We will be

279
00:15:17,679 --> 00:15:21,240
reading all of your messages. At some point here during

00:15:21,279 --> 00:15:24,080
the stream. We're gonna hang out, we'll answer your questions,

281
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:27,279
we'll do what we do, and then if we hit

282
00:15:27,279 --> 00:15:29,200
the likes goal, which we're going to find out right

283
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:32,759
now what that goal is. We will be doing our

284
00:15:32,919 --> 00:15:38,679
be the Booker segment a little bit later on Hey Nico, Yeah,

285
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:40,799
Nico has been going crazy here for a while. Tonight,

286
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:43,960
all right, here we go. Just think the wheel four

287
00:15:44,000 --> 00:16:00,279
a spin. See what we have? Four fifty the wrestling. Yes,

288
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:03,559
it's like Luca Underground. A gift from the gods would

289
00:16:03,559 --> 00:16:09,159
be ninety minutes of SmackDown. Four hundred and fifty likes

290
00:16:09,879 --> 00:16:12,320
is what we're going to need. Hey, True Crime Unleashed,

291
00:16:13,559 --> 00:16:16,399
Thank you for the super chat. Brother. We're right around

292
00:16:16,399 --> 00:16:19,679
two fifty, so we need what minimum two hundred more likes.

293
00:16:20,879 --> 00:16:23,080
I think we could do that, and we have a

294
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:25,480
bonus goal going in the chat as well, So you

295
00:16:25,519 --> 00:16:29,120
guys work on that. I'm going to work on this

296
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:35,519
Happy birthday? Is it Daphne's birthday? I didn't know that.

297
00:16:36,679 --> 00:16:39,679
I didn't know that today was Daphne's birthday. How old

298
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:49,440
would she have been? Oh what a sad tale that was. Anyway,

299
00:16:49,519 --> 00:16:51,120
let's get into this show here. We'll start from the

300
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:57,000
very top, and that top involved Gunther one, half of

301
00:16:57,080 --> 00:17:01,879
the tag team on the Heels. Tomorrow night, it's Saturday

302
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:05,039
Night's main event. Coming to the ring by himself, but

303
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:09,079
not until they recapped the events of last week's show,

304
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:12,480
which included the Summer Slam Challenge being issued between Cody

305
00:17:12,559 --> 00:17:16,599
Rhoads and Cmpunk they will be wrestling for the WWE Championship.

306
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:18,720
And then to close the show last week, we had

307
00:17:18,759 --> 00:17:22,680
that brutal attack by Gunther on Nick Aldis, putting him

308
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:26,799
in the sleeper hole repeatedly until Cody Rhodes came out

309
00:17:26,839 --> 00:17:28,599
to make the save, and then the show went off

310
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:34,440
the air, and then Brimode was activated. Thankfully, that also

311
00:17:34,519 --> 00:17:38,000
happened off the air. This one happened on the air though,

312
00:17:38,079 --> 00:17:41,119
Venom Ktetsu with the twenty five dollars Bremo. We know

313
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:45,000
we heard Bremode tonight. I think I had my head down.

314
00:17:45,039 --> 00:17:47,799
I was taking some notes here and then I heard

315
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:51,839
Bremo and I looked up and I was like dazed.

316
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:57,200
Thank you, Venom Catetsu. So after all the recaps and

317
00:17:57,240 --> 00:17:59,759
all the bullshit, Gunther made his way down to the

318
00:17:59,799 --> 00:18:04,680
ring and he talked about, you know, priding himself on

319
00:18:04,839 --> 00:18:08,559
being a professional, but he felt that he's been mistreated

320
00:18:08,559 --> 00:18:13,240
ever since joining SMACK. Then, yeah, you don't say, you

321
00:18:13,319 --> 00:18:16,319
don't say It's been quite the journey for Gunther this

322
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:19,079
year from how he started twenty twenty six to where

323
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:22,079
he is right now. He said, the truth is that

324
00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:25,480
he should be the WWE champion right now, and Gunther

325
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:29,119
blamed all this for making this very personal by forcing

326
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:32,440
him to team with Sammy Zain Tomorrow night again Sea

327
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:35,000
I'm Punk and Cody Rhodes. He said that Sammy was

328
00:18:35,079 --> 00:18:38,240
beneath him, so that brought out the interim general manager,

329
00:18:38,279 --> 00:18:42,200
Adam Pierce. Pierce said that on the subject of Niicol this,

330
00:18:42,319 --> 00:18:46,519
Gunther should be thanking him for sticking up for him

331
00:18:46,519 --> 00:18:49,839
and saving his job, because if it were up to him,

332
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:53,599
he would have fired Gunther. But all this basically asked

333
00:18:53,599 --> 00:18:56,000
for him to stay keep the tag team Maine event

334
00:18:56,039 --> 00:19:02,720
Tomorrow night intact. This includes the stipulation, which was news

335
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:06,480
to Gunther, but the stipulation that if Gunther and Sammy's

336
00:19:06,559 --> 00:19:09,359
A win their match at Saturday Night's main event, the

337
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:11,640
two of them will be added to the main event

338
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:14,680
at Summer Slide between Cody and Punk to make it

339
00:19:14,799 --> 00:19:19,279
a fatal four way for the WWE Championship. And so

340
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:23,160
that announcement brought out Cody Rhodes, who ran out to

341
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:28,119
the ring. Jacket Lists immediately double legged Gunther to the

342
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:32,079
ground and Gunther fled out to the floor. Cody was

343
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:34,200
all fired up. He did that thing that he does

344
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:38,000
where he gets very angry and he screams enough. That's

345
00:19:38,039 --> 00:19:42,279
his thing now, like a like a substitute school teacher

346
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:48,039
when the class is just out of control enough. He

347
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:51,400
tries to he tries to sound all tough, like he's

348
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:56,720
gonna he's gonna whoop that ass. And so he talked

349
00:19:56,759 --> 00:20:00,640
about Gunther slamming that card door on his head, which

350
00:20:00,839 --> 00:20:02,920
bloodied him up a few weeks ago on Raw. That's

351
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:05,079
what took him out of the championship match with Sammy's Ain,

352
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:07,559
which then paved the way for CM Punk to take

353
00:20:07,599 --> 00:20:10,160
a spot, and that's why CM punk is now the

354
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:13,519
WWE champion. He hasn't forgotten about that said he was

355
00:20:13,559 --> 00:20:17,240
gonna drop Gunther on site. So he also said the

356
00:20:17,319 --> 00:20:20,160
road to Saturday Nights made event runs through Albany, New York,

357
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:23,119
and he challenged Gunther to a match tonight. He looked

358
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:26,440
to Adam Pearce to make it official, and so he did,

359
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:29,599
and that is how we ended up with our main

360
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:40,400
event tonight. Yes, you all like that. See Cody doesn't

361
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:45,039
say it as deeply as that. It's it's not intimidating enough.

362
00:20:45,039 --> 00:20:49,160
That's the problem. Like I can see like if he had,

363
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:52,240
you know, his kid or whatever is misbehaving at home

364
00:20:52,319 --> 00:20:55,640
and just you know, he starts yelling enough, like kid

365
00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:57,640
probably looks at him and just laughs and walks away.

366
00:21:00,039 --> 00:21:03,000
As far as adding the stipulation, I like it. I

367
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:05,039
like the fact that now there's something on the line

368
00:21:05,039 --> 00:21:08,079
in this match, but there is no doubt now as

369
00:21:08,079 --> 00:21:10,319
to who's winning. At least before there was some doubt,

370
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:12,519
you know, maybe Cody and Punk. They're not getting a lot.

371
00:21:12,559 --> 00:21:14,480
I mean even before though, I said Cody and Punk

372
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:16,079
are gonna win because I can't see either one of

373
00:21:16,079 --> 00:21:19,519
them taking a loss. Is what I just talked about

374
00:21:19,559 --> 00:21:21,160
on the sound of I said, you know, we got

375
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:24,200
this main event coming up this weekend, and I'm going

376
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:25,839
with Cody and Punk to win it for no other

377
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:28,400
reason because I cannot imagine either one of them taking

378
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:32,920
a pinfall loss in this match. This only solidifies it

379
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:36,640
because everything that they have done leads to a gunther

380
00:21:36,839 --> 00:21:39,519
Nick All this match at Summerslim, that match is one

381
00:21:39,599 --> 00:21:43,160
hundred percent going to happen. And though they're not having

382
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:46,200
Gunther wrestle both Knights. We went through this with Olba Femi.

383
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:49,599
Nobody is wrestling both knights. That's the match they're doing.

384
00:21:49,759 --> 00:21:52,680
Gunther is not wrestling for the WWE Championship, And frankly,

385
00:21:52,799 --> 00:21:55,200
I don't want to see a fatal four way. I

386
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:56,920
don't want to see a fatal four waight. I don't

387
00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:58,759
even want to see a triple thread at this point, Like,

388
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:02,480
you've made your match. This is the match that you've promoted,

389
00:22:02,519 --> 00:22:04,640
This is the match that you promised. Just do it

390
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:07,319
as is the biggest match they could do right now,

391
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:10,680
Cody and Punk has not been done before, not this

392
00:22:10,759 --> 00:22:14,480
go around. So in that regard, it's a fresh match,

393
00:22:14,519 --> 00:22:20,640
two big names. Sorry for Sammy, but keep the match

394
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:21,960
the way it is. We don't need to see a

395
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:25,000
fatal four way. The only question really is does Nick

396
00:22:25,039 --> 00:22:27,759
All this show up to cost Gunther? Now? If he

397
00:22:28,039 --> 00:22:30,599
shows up in a way that costs gun through the match,

398
00:22:31,599 --> 00:22:35,119
that really fucks over Sammy's ay. And so what a

399
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:38,319
terrible general manager that would make Nick All this because

400
00:22:38,839 --> 00:22:42,319
Sammy didn't do anything. Sammy's already walking around with a

401
00:22:42,319 --> 00:22:44,640
new T shirt that says justice for Sammy on it.

402
00:22:45,519 --> 00:22:47,839
I don't know why Nick all this would would cost

403
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:51,559
him a potential title match at Summerslim. So does he

404
00:22:51,599 --> 00:22:54,000
interfere during the match, does he show up after the match?

405
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:56,400
Does he show up at all? Right? What are they

406
00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:59,400
going to do next to set up this inevitable showdown

407
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:01,519
with him and Guny? Do we see him tomorrow night?

408
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:06,640
That's really the only question here. But the actual stipulation

409
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:10,759
I like adding that to the match. Now at this point,

410
00:23:10,839 --> 00:23:14,559
they air the Adam Piers video that I mentioned earlier

411
00:23:15,079 --> 00:23:17,319
that dropped on social media where he told people that

412
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:19,680
Rhea Ripley is not going to be cleared for SummerSlam.

413
00:23:19,759 --> 00:23:22,279
He announced that there's going to be a ladder match

414
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:27,000
to crown this interim women's champion. Then we had a match.

415
00:23:27,079 --> 00:23:32,519
It was Finn Balor one on one with Talatanga. Last

416
00:23:32,519 --> 00:23:38,400
week Finn Balor beat Tama Tonga and this week it

417
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:42,000
was it was Finn. I was gonna say, you know,

418
00:23:42,039 --> 00:23:49,440
it was Finn Balor against now it was not. It

419
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:51,759
was not Finn Balor against Kyrie. Although that is a

420
00:23:51,759 --> 00:23:56,000
match I would love to see. Unfortunately we are not

421
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:59,720
going to be able to see that match. But now

422
00:23:59,759 --> 00:24:01,440
that it's it's been presented to me, that would be

423
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:05,799
a hell of a match. I have a feeling that

424
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:09,279
he would be back to pin Balor if you put

425
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:11,720
him in the ring with Kyrie Saint who remembers the

426
00:24:12,279 --> 00:24:14,920
photo shopt the image from many years ago in the

427
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:19,279
cage of Kyrie and brock Lesnar. I think Kyrie was

428
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:27,640
giving him a spear. Don't mess with Kyrie. She's a

429
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:32,240
tough one. Anyway, as I was saying, maybe for be

430
00:24:32,279 --> 00:24:35,079
the booker, Yeah, Ricky, that's true. We do an intergender

431
00:24:35,079 --> 00:24:37,200
imagine be the booker. We could actually land on that.

432
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:42,799
So Baalor beat Tomatonga last week. This week it was

433
00:24:42,839 --> 00:24:47,160
big brother. I say big brother. He's technically little brother,

434
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:50,480
but literally he's big brother. So that's what this match was.

435
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:54,359
Coming out of a commercial break, Taula dropped him with

436
00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:57,160
a running power slam for a two count. Balor made

437
00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:59,920
a comeback. He was looking for the Couda grass but

438
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:03,000
but Talatanga grabbed him off the top. He was setting

439
00:25:03,079 --> 00:25:06,440
up for a Tala t bomb. Balor reversed that into

440
00:25:06,519 --> 00:25:10,720
a DDT though Tomatonga provided the distraction which gave Tala

441
00:25:10,759 --> 00:25:14,599
the chance to mow down Balor with a big boot again,

442
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:17,519
though Baler made a comeback. He took down Tom outside

443
00:25:17,559 --> 00:25:19,759
with a sling blade on the floor and then finished

444
00:25:19,799 --> 00:25:23,359
things off on Tala with a double stump for the wind.

445
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:28,880
And that pretty much puts the steak through the heart

446
00:25:29,599 --> 00:25:33,079
of what's left of the MFTs. Because now Finn Balor,

447
00:25:33,759 --> 00:25:37,119
who I would always call pin Balor because rarely would

448
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:39,880
he win a match, has now gotten back to back

449
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:43,519
wins over both remaining members of the MFT. So it

450
00:25:43,599 --> 00:25:46,039
is not looking good for those two on SmackDown. I

451
00:25:46,079 --> 00:25:49,480
don't know what, if anything, is next for them, but

452
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:51,319
it is not a good position for them to be in.

453
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:56,720
Ceampunk confronted Nick all this backstage and just wanted to

454
00:25:56,759 --> 00:25:59,920
confirm that what I heard earlier is accurate about this

455
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:04,119
stipulation now for this tag team match tomorrow night. He

456
00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:06,240
said he's more of an old school guy. He prefers

457
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:09,920
it be one on one. Pierce said, look, I understand,

458
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:14,480
but it's official, it's already made. Punk also had doubts

459
00:26:14,519 --> 00:26:18,279
about Gunther's intentions. Later he said he thinks Gunther is

460
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:22,519
just trying to hurt Cody physically, so he said he

461
00:26:22,599 --> 00:26:25,400
was going to go find Cody for a chat, and

462
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:28,799
as Punk turned around, he ran right into Damian Priest,

463
00:26:29,279 --> 00:26:32,920
one half of the WWE Tag Team Champions, who thanked

464
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:36,519
Punk for the shout out last week. When Punker's running

465
00:26:36,519 --> 00:26:38,160
down the list of all the names that he would

466
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:41,039
love to defend that championship against, he mentioned every single

467
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:44,480
name except for Cody Rhodes. Remember that he mentioned Sammy Zaine,

468
00:26:44,519 --> 00:26:51,240
He mentioned Royce Keys, mentioned Damian Priest, Trick Williams Budd.

469
00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:53,160
He wanted to make sure that Punk knows that if

470
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:55,640
Punk is still the champion after Summer Slim, Priest is

471
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:58,359
going to be waiting for him, and Punk said, well,

472
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:00,279
I hope so, and I hope that you're still tag

473
00:27:00,279 --> 00:27:02,440
Team Champion because me and Cody are gonna go on

474
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:05,400
a tear in the garden tomorrow night and then maybe

475
00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:11,599
we'll go after those tag team titles. Please, don't. I

476
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:13,720
know we're kind of desperate when it comes to tag

477
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:16,599
teams here in this company, but we don't need that.

478
00:27:18,839 --> 00:27:22,200
We had j C. Jane one on one with Tiffany Stratton.

479
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:25,799
This was a qualifying match for the ladder match at

480
00:27:25,839 --> 00:27:29,920
Summer Slim. Lany Reid and Fallon Henley. They ganged up

481
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:32,279
on Tiffany before the match, actually all three of them did.

482
00:27:33,039 --> 00:27:37,440
When we heard brem mode and here comes Page and

483
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:40,960
Brie Bella, the women's tag team champions, they ran out

484
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:43,319
to fight off the challengers for tomorrow night because they

485
00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:46,920
are defending against Fatal Influence. So that left Jase all

486
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:50,319
by herself for the match to begin, and they went

487
00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:57,119
to an early commercial break after that on my screen

488
00:27:57,160 --> 00:28:01,039
in Netflix, because I was watching this with my Express VPN.

489
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:04,759
And normally when they go to a commercial, it goes

490
00:28:04,839 --> 00:28:09,680
dark for like four or five seconds, and then it

491
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:12,880
comes back and it gives a countdown clock. In the

492
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:15,079
corner of the screen, it says back in and then

493
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:18,480
it'll say three minutes, ninety seconds, two minutes, you know,

494
00:28:18,519 --> 00:28:22,039
whatever it is. They go to a commercial break here

495
00:28:22,079 --> 00:28:25,359
and in the corner of the screen on Netflix, it

496
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:30,599
says back in one hundred eighty three minutes. Now. Now, look,

497
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:34,200
I know that the the commercials on these you know,

498
00:28:34,279 --> 00:28:39,240
television shows, are out of control, but this is just ridiculous.

499
00:28:39,759 --> 00:28:41,480
I mean, I know it feels like we have three

500
00:28:41,519 --> 00:28:43,960
hours worth of commercials every single week, but to tell

501
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:45,799
me that we'll be back in three hours. I mean,

502
00:28:46,039 --> 00:28:48,279
I mean we've just we've gone over the edge. Now

503
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:52,359
we've just gone completely over the edge. And so by

504
00:28:52,359 --> 00:28:54,480
the way it stayed that way, it's clearly a glitch.

505
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:56,559
It stayed that way for the rest of the show.

506
00:28:56,599 --> 00:28:59,400
It counted backwards from one hundred and eighty three minutes,

507
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:01,240
so I never for the rest of the show how

508
00:29:01,279 --> 00:29:04,000
many actual minutes were left in these commercial breaks. It's

509
00:29:04,039 --> 00:29:06,920
at one hundred and seventy one hundred and forty go.

510
00:29:07,079 --> 00:29:08,960
These are the longest commercial breaks I've ever seen in

511
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:13,720
my life. So late in the match, we got the

512
00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:17,200
float over into the Alabama Slam by Stratton, who headed

513
00:29:17,279 --> 00:29:20,519
up top JC They'll cut her off and followed with

514
00:29:20,559 --> 00:29:25,200
an elevated swinging DDT for a near fall. Jaz went

515
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:28,200
for the rolling encore, but Stratton avoided it, hit a

516
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:32,759
springboard stunner, and the prettiest Moonsalt ever followed for the win,

517
00:29:33,799 --> 00:29:37,920
which sends the United States Champion into the Women's Championship

518
00:29:38,079 --> 00:29:45,319
Ladder Match at SummerSlam. Hey, Chicago for MBK, thank you

519
00:29:45,319 --> 00:29:50,200
for the gifted membership. E Web one eighty seven was

520
00:29:50,279 --> 00:29:55,400
just gifted a membership courtesy of Chicago for MBK. Look

521
00:29:55,559 --> 00:30:01,400
that the gift of giving here on YouTube. So yes,

522
00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:06,079
Tiffany Stratton advances to the ladder match, and I figured

523
00:30:06,119 --> 00:30:10,160
Stratton was winning just because she had a belt. Jace doesn't.

524
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:13,680
And as I said earlier, Summerslim is in Tiffany's home state,

525
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:17,039
and she's going around doing media and publicity. And as

526
00:30:17,039 --> 00:30:21,200
I'm coming across these YouTube clips of her doing these interviews,

527
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:24,839
I'm like, does she even have a match set up

528
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:28,000
for that show? And the answer is no. So then

529
00:30:28,039 --> 00:30:30,240
they announced this match, and I'm like, they could have

530
00:30:30,279 --> 00:30:32,400
bounced jac Jane out of this thing before she even

531
00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:36,119
has a chance to qualify. Why would they make this match?

532
00:30:37,359 --> 00:30:40,160
Why would you not have Jace Jane in that match

533
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:44,079
at Summerslim. There's no reason that she shouldn't be one

534
00:30:44,119 --> 00:30:49,200
of the five to five women in that match. But

535
00:30:49,279 --> 00:30:52,119
now she's gone, She's already bounced out, and Tiffany Stratton,

536
00:30:52,119 --> 00:30:54,640
who doesn't need to be in there, is now going

537
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:56,839
to be in the ladder match. I guess that's their

538
00:30:56,880 --> 00:30:59,000
way of getting her on the show because they had

539
00:30:59,039 --> 00:31:01,640
nothing else for her otherwise. That's an indictment on the

540
00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:05,640
SmackDown writing team. You know, she's the United States champion,

541
00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:07,839
the hometown girl. You can't come up with something in

542
00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:10,920
advance for something, you know, something for her to do

543
00:31:11,359 --> 00:31:16,680
heading into SummerSlam. Boy, they're awfully lucky that Rhea Ripley,

544
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:19,599
you know, was forced out of this show and that

545
00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:21,519
they came up with this match, because had they not,

546
00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:24,640
I don't know the Tiffany Stratton would have been wrestling

547
00:31:24,839 --> 00:31:28,279
at SummerSlam. I guess at least now she gets a

548
00:31:28,279 --> 00:31:31,200
spot on the show. But I think it's bullshit that

549
00:31:31,359 --> 00:31:33,400
j C. Jane is not going to occupy one of

550
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:36,960
these five slots now. I expect Fallon Henley and Laney

551
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:39,839
Reid to win the women's tag team titles tomorrow and night.

552
00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:42,640
But man, they have done no favors to this Fatal

553
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:45,759
Influence Crew after the first like couple of weeks because

554
00:31:45,759 --> 00:31:50,480
they debuted. I thought it was good, established them pretty early,

555
00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:54,240
and it's just been kind of it's been very flat,

556
00:31:54,279 --> 00:31:57,720
if not downhill, from there. So yeah, I mean, I

557
00:31:57,759 --> 00:31:59,680
think they'll win the tag team titles tomorrow and I

558
00:31:59,759 --> 00:32:02,160
mean they don't win the tag team titles tomorrow night

559
00:32:03,079 --> 00:32:06,400
after already losing a non title match to Page and Bribella,

560
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:10,119
then that's it. That's it. I mean, I don't know,

561
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:13,079
I don't know what to say. At that point. They

562
00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:16,680
must be winning the titles tomorrow, but I still think

563
00:32:16,759 --> 00:32:20,519
jac I should have gotten a spot here. We got

564
00:32:20,519 --> 00:32:25,960
some pre tape comments from the Learning Tree fucked up.

565
00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:36,079
Fuck that tree. No, no, no, no, the Learning Tree

566
00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:39,279
is not in the ladder match. No, we're getting the

567
00:32:39,279 --> 00:32:44,119
pain Maker. That's what we're getting. Oh boy. I can't

568
00:32:44,119 --> 00:32:48,359
wait to talk about that promo in my Dynamite review

569
00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:53,480
on Sunday, since I didn't do one on Wednesday because

570
00:32:53,519 --> 00:32:57,680
my fucking Wi Fi car decided to randomly disappear on me,

571
00:32:57,759 --> 00:33:00,920
which is why I vanished in the middle of Tuesday

572
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:04,759
Night Titans. Thankfully, we got most of the show done

573
00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:08,200
and then I just vanished because out of nowhere my

574
00:33:08,319 --> 00:33:13,160
Wi Fi car vanished. Couldn't get it back, went to

575
00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:18,359
the drivers and everything it was, nothing was working. Took

576
00:33:18,359 --> 00:33:21,799
the laptop into a shop, said I gotta get my

577
00:33:21,839 --> 00:33:26,279
WiFi back, put a brand new card in, took it

578
00:33:26,319 --> 00:33:30,440
home and it worked. It worked for all of two hours,

579
00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:34,599
and then it fucking disappeared again. And my Bluetooth is gone.

580
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:38,160
I have no Bluetooth anymore. I was planning on I actually,

581
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:39,880
of course I was. I was planning on getting back

582
00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:42,160
to some soundof gamer stuff and now that's out the window.

583
00:33:42,519 --> 00:33:46,599
I can't pair the controller now with this, which means

584
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:51,359
I have no Bluetooth. It's been quite the odyssey for

585
00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:54,279
me this week. I wasn't even going to bring it up,

586
00:33:54,319 --> 00:33:56,759
but I've been so irritated. This has been a horrible week.

587
00:33:57,119 --> 00:34:01,160
Just I mean, and again, woe is me? Third world problems,

588
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:05,000
I know, but this has just been It's been ridiculous.

589
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:08,119
This whole week has been ridiculous. And the money I've

590
00:34:08,159 --> 00:34:14,559
spent on adapters and stuff. Bought a Bluetooth external external

591
00:34:14,599 --> 00:34:18,480
Wi Fi and Bluetooth adapter, and the Wi Fi one worked.

592
00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:21,119
I ended up just buying an Ethernet cable and just

593
00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:25,159
running it through the entire freaking place. So, you know whatever,

594
00:34:25,199 --> 00:34:28,559
the WiFi is dead, who gives a shit? But the Bluetooth.

595
00:34:28,599 --> 00:34:31,960
I bought an adapter piece, little USB one you plug

596
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:38,519
it in right, supposed to work. Nothing. Nothing. I've gone

597
00:34:38,559 --> 00:34:44,400
through all of the troubleshooting steps, disable the the old

598
00:34:44,639 --> 00:34:47,599
you know Bluetooth, which are hidden all of a sudden.

599
00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:50,360
Believe me, I've gone through the list of all the steps,

600
00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:54,000
nothing's worked. I'm thinking about just spending money on ten

601
00:34:54,079 --> 00:34:56,480
different ones off Amazon. I'll just buy ten of them

602
00:34:56,519 --> 00:34:58,679
and just try every single one of them until one

603
00:34:58,679 --> 00:35:00,840
of them works, I guarantee, and not a single one

604
00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:04,719
is gonna work. So I'm very sad about all this.

605
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:07,400
But anyway, you guys are helping me maintain my sanity.

606
00:35:08,079 --> 00:35:11,280
I just had to explain what's been going on over

607
00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:13,159
the last few days. None of this makes any sense

608
00:35:13,199 --> 00:35:19,519
to me. None of this makes any sense whatsoever. Anyway,

609
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:23,519
I was about to talk about Baron Corbin, So let's

610
00:35:23,559 --> 00:35:26,199
talk about Baron Corbin. How about that. You know, if

611
00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:29,239
WWE really wanted to get on my nerves, they would

612
00:35:30,119 --> 00:35:33,079
bring up a heel from like NXT or something and

613
00:35:33,119 --> 00:35:35,960
just call them Bluetooth. That could be that they could

614
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:38,840
trademark the name. Maybe they're legally not able to just

615
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:42,679
call them Bluetooth. Biggest heel in the company. I will

616
00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:49,199
root against them every single match. Bluetooth managed by Wi Fi.

617
00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:55,880
Some hot blonde calls herself Wi Fi. Yeah, biggest heels

618
00:35:55,880 --> 00:36:01,239
in the business. Baron Corbin, though, after his surprise return

619
00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:05,679
last week during the trick, Williams Carmelo Hayes non title

620
00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:09,440
match on SmackDown. He had laid them both out. He said,

621
00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:12,000
a lot of people around here think that they're tough,

622
00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:16,800
but he's the real deal and he will bring reality

623
00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:20,199
crashing down upon them. He tells his opponents to smile

624
00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:24,000
when they can and enjoy what they have because he's

625
00:36:24,079 --> 00:36:29,400
coming for it all. He's coming. Blake Monroe is still

626
00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:33,440
coming every week. We'll get to hurt a little bit

627
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:37,719
in the back though. Live. Jackie Redmond is with Trick Williams,

628
00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:40,039
and Trick calls Korb been a big bald headed bitch.

629
00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:42,920
What is this obsession on wrestling television this year of

630
00:36:43,119 --> 00:36:48,719
just calling bald men bitches? Bald men have really just

631
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:51,840
they've been in the crosshairs this year. I think it

632
00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:55,599
started with Ricochet, but I feel like the bald insults

633
00:36:55,599 --> 00:36:58,679
have been going back and forth all year long. It's

634
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:08,679
very strange. That sounds very TK like what having a

635
00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:12,440
heel named Bluetooth with a manager named Wi Fi can

636
00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:14,639
make it a tag team? I mean that works too.

637
00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:19,400
Carmelo Hayes interrupted. Two of them bickered back and forth.

638
00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:22,159
Hayes said that he knows Trick knows that Mellow is

639
00:37:22,159 --> 00:37:24,800
the better of the two of them. Trick says that

640
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:28,000
Hayes hasn't done anything in two years Unsmacked Down. Meanwhile,

641
00:37:28,039 --> 00:37:29,760
he's been on SmackDown for less than a year and

642
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:32,480
he's the hottest thing to hit the show. And then

643
00:37:32,519 --> 00:37:36,679
he ranted about grown folks talking or some such thing,

644
00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:41,360
because everybody on this show they gotta spit out their

645
00:37:41,400 --> 00:37:44,639
catchphrases every five second. Can't cut a straight promo. We'll

646
00:37:44,679 --> 00:37:47,119
just spit fucking catchphrases at every two seconds, is what

647
00:37:47,119 --> 00:37:50,639
he's been reduced to, by the way. So whatever, they

648
00:37:50,639 --> 00:37:53,599
were going back and forth, and nothing was really accomplished

649
00:37:53,599 --> 00:37:57,119
here in this segment. But Baron Corbin is coming for everything.

650
00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:03,119
He's coming for it all. We had another women's ladder

651
00:38:03,159 --> 00:38:09,000
match qualifier with a Jade Cargill against Naya Jacks. Say

652
00:38:09,119 --> 00:38:12,840
Naya Jax, who has not wrestled on this show since

653
00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:14,880
the end of May. That was in a loss at

654
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:18,280
Chelsea Green. In fact, she hasn't wrestled anywhere since the

655
00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:23,159
end of May. Jade missed right away with a pumpkick.

656
00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:25,880
Nya caught her with a Samoan drop, then a leg

657
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:28,559
drop only got two. Nia missed with a leg drop

658
00:38:28,599 --> 00:38:31,880
off the middle rope, and that gave Jade the opening

659
00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:35,519
to hit a spinebuster, kind of not a great one,

660
00:38:35,599 --> 00:38:41,199
but a spinebuster. Nonetheless, all of a sudden, at ringside,

661
00:38:41,239 --> 00:38:44,880
there's a commotion. I swear to you, I swear to you.

662
00:38:45,639 --> 00:38:48,920
I don't know, my mind just went there. She was

663
00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:52,119
wearing like a very bright, colorful outfit. The way she

664
00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:55,559
was dressed, I thought soul Ruka had hit ringside to

665
00:38:55,559 --> 00:38:59,440
beat up the batties. I was like, what's she doing here?

666
00:39:00,039 --> 00:39:02,119
But no, it was Charlotte Flair. I don't know if

667
00:39:02,159 --> 00:39:04,679
she was trying to cosplay as soul Ruka. I don't

668
00:39:04,679 --> 00:39:07,719
know what she was doing. Charlotte Flair showed up. She

669
00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:11,679
beats up Mechen, she beats up Beefab, she hits the ring,

670
00:39:12,079 --> 00:39:19,119
she attacks Jade, instant disqualification. The match is over. That's it,

671
00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:23,400
just like that, And I'm watching this and I'm like

672
00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:28,199
that now sends the woman that you hate so much

673
00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:33,719
to the ladder match at SummerSlam to potentially win the

674
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:37,800
Women's World champions or I'm sorry, the interim Women's World champion.

675
00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:41,760
Fuck this interim shit but yet not very smart, not

676
00:39:42,039 --> 00:39:45,400
very bright, but that's what she did because Jade Cargill

677
00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:48,280
now was going to SummerSlam, but Charlotte's not done yet.

678
00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:52,079
So after the match is over, Flair goes and grabs

679
00:39:52,079 --> 00:39:54,679
a chair from outside. She was about to stomp on

680
00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:57,119
Jade's arm with the chair, just like Jade did to

681
00:39:57,159 --> 00:40:01,280
Alexa Bliss last week, but the batties pulled her out

682
00:40:01,320 --> 00:40:05,360
to safety, and so they announced Jade as the winner. Oh,

683
00:40:05,480 --> 00:40:08,079
she had the hardy boys outface? Is that what it was?

684
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:10,960
The only thing we were missing was Charlotte out there

685
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:14,559
doing this, doing the Jeff Hardy dance. I'm sorry, she

686
00:40:14,679 --> 00:40:21,559
looked like soul Ruka. Anyway, they announced Jade as the winner,

687
00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:25,440
and angry Nya Jacks then squashed Charlotte in the corner

688
00:40:25,480 --> 00:40:29,159
and the King Kong Bundy avalanche. It's the first thing

689
00:40:29,199 --> 00:40:32,239
I thought about, the avalanche, such an old school bove

690
00:40:32,559 --> 00:40:35,320
squashes her in the corner because Charlotte had her back turned,

691
00:40:35,679 --> 00:40:38,559
and then Nya just left and that gave the batties

692
00:40:38,599 --> 00:40:40,519
the chance to get in the ring pick the bones,

693
00:40:40,559 --> 00:40:43,519
and then Jade laid out Charlotte with Jaded. This was

694
00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:48,800
fucking awful. This was terrible. I hated everything about this.

695
00:40:48,800 --> 00:40:52,079
This was such a colossal waste of time, is what

696
00:40:52,159 --> 00:40:55,519
this was. Now. In the back when this was over,

697
00:40:55,679 --> 00:40:58,599
Naya and lash legend they were complaining to Adam Pearce,

698
00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:01,000
you know about what just happened. What are you gonna do?

699
00:41:01,880 --> 00:41:04,519
And so Pierce made a match for next week. Nya

700
00:41:04,639 --> 00:41:08,039
is going to get another shot. Naya is gonna get

701
00:41:08,039 --> 00:41:10,239
another shot to qualify, but this time it's going to

702
00:41:10,239 --> 00:41:14,639
be against Charlotte Flair. And so that match is now

703
00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:19,880
official for next week. And I love how all of

704
00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:27,320
these general managers are just constantly rewarding bad behavior. Don't

705
00:41:27,599 --> 00:41:30,079
you notice this is like a trend that's been going on.

706
00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:35,960
Gunther goes out there and he physically assaults one of

707
00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:39,960
the general managers of the show. That's how SmackDown ended

708
00:41:40,039 --> 00:41:42,679
last week. Gunther went in there and beat up his

709
00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:47,920
boss and wasn't suspended, he wasn't fired. Then you had

710
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:54,840
Charlotte Flair, actually Jade Cargill breaking Alexa Bliss's arm in

711
00:41:54,920 --> 00:41:59,639
a chair. She's then rewarded with a qualifying match to

712
00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:03,119
put potentially challenged for the Interim Women's Championship, which she

713
00:42:03,159 --> 00:42:06,960
will now do. And then Charlotte Flair interferes in the

714
00:42:07,079 --> 00:42:11,480
qualifier and is rewarded with a qualifier of her own

715
00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:15,960
next week. Is it any wonder why nobody ever learns

716
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:19,119
their lesson, Nobody ever learns to respect authority and respect

717
00:42:19,159 --> 00:42:21,159
the rules, so they continue to break the rules and

718
00:42:21,199 --> 00:42:25,760
beat up the authority. Figures here on these shows, we

719
00:42:25,840 --> 00:42:27,840
need somebody to put their foot down. We need a

720
00:42:27,920 --> 00:42:30,800
general manager or a commissioner, or somebody who will be

721
00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:32,920
able to put their foot down and lay down the law.

722
00:42:34,440 --> 00:42:39,360
These men are clearly incapable of doing that. Stop rewarding

723
00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:47,000
bad behavior. In the back. Jackie Redman spoke with Gunther,

724
00:42:49,199 --> 00:42:52,599
who says that Cody forced himself into Gunther's business and

725
00:42:52,639 --> 00:42:57,119
so he will beat some rationality into him first tomorrow night.

726
00:42:57,119 --> 00:43:00,119
He doesn't care really at all about Sammy Zay and

727
00:43:00,119 --> 00:43:02,760
give a shit about him. Meanwhile, Candae Larray wheels her

728
00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:09,119
husband over, who is still planking on a crate, and

729
00:43:10,320 --> 00:43:12,760
she's telling Gunther, you know you gotta go in there,

730
00:43:12,840 --> 00:43:15,119
and you know, the two of you, you and Sammy,

731
00:43:15,239 --> 00:43:17,719
you gotta win this match so that you can go

732
00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:20,360
on to SummerSlam and make it a fatal four way

733
00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:24,760
and challenge for the championship. She and Johnny they need

734
00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:29,880
Sammy to win. Gunther has no idea what to make

735
00:43:29,880 --> 00:43:33,119
of this. As this is going on in the background,

736
00:43:33,880 --> 00:43:39,840
I spy Blake Monroe in the shadows, lurking in the background,

737
00:43:39,880 --> 00:43:44,960
watching on. So Gunther exits and as soon as he leaves,

738
00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:48,039
Blake decides to go in for the kill, and she

739
00:43:48,199 --> 00:43:52,639
ambushes Candace Larray from behind, and she beats the piss

740
00:43:52,639 --> 00:43:57,079
out of her. Then she introduces herself to her. As

741
00:43:57,119 --> 00:43:59,960
Blake was walking away, Johnny Gargano was still laying there

742
00:44:00,199 --> 00:44:02,159
on the crate, and so she looked at him and said,

743
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:07,599
you need a haircut, and then she walked off. Johnny

744
00:44:07,639 --> 00:44:11,639
no sold the entire thing. By the way, his wife

745
00:44:12,360 --> 00:44:16,239
was laying on the ground, having just been viciously beaten

746
00:44:16,639 --> 00:44:19,599
by this woman, and he just continued to lay there.

747
00:44:22,239 --> 00:44:23,960
We still have yet to see you. Now I've said

748
00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:26,320
my piece about the Johnny Gargano stuff. One of these

749
00:44:26,360 --> 00:44:28,480
weeks he will rise from the dead. It'll get a

750
00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:30,639
big pop, he'll wrestle the match and that'll be the

751
00:44:30,760 --> 00:44:33,639
end of it. But as far as Blake Monroe is concerned,

752
00:44:34,599 --> 00:44:36,360
I don't know how many weeks it's been I've lost

753
00:44:36,360 --> 00:44:39,679
count already from the first vignette that aired. It's been

754
00:44:39,719 --> 00:44:45,079
at least six weeks, minimum six weeks, and they aired

755
00:44:45,119 --> 00:44:47,800
those vignettes. She showed up that one week on SmackDown

756
00:44:47,840 --> 00:44:51,000
and I think to run into Chelsea Green for like

757
00:44:51,039 --> 00:44:55,400
fifteen seconds in the back. Then the vignettes resumed. Then

758
00:44:55,440 --> 00:45:01,239
she attacked Julia, Then she attacked Julia and Keana James stage.

759
00:45:01,519 --> 00:45:06,639
Now she attacks uh Candice Larray. So she's been going

760
00:45:06,679 --> 00:45:09,880
around just like randomly beating up all the women on

761
00:45:09,920 --> 00:45:13,199
the roster. She has yet to wrestle an actual match.

762
00:45:16,239 --> 00:45:19,400
She's she's very good in terms of ambushing people, but

763
00:45:19,440 --> 00:45:25,360
in terms of wrestling, we still have no idea. It's unbelievable.

764
00:45:26,079 --> 00:45:28,199
And now they have women that they need to slid

765
00:45:28,280 --> 00:45:30,920
into this ladder batch, and realistically she should be one

766
00:45:30,920 --> 00:45:34,440
of them, but like what sense would that even make

767
00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:39,199
at this point. I hope she gets in. I hope

768
00:45:39,239 --> 00:45:41,119
so because I'm not sure. I'm not sure who else

769
00:45:41,119 --> 00:45:45,599
they're going to put in there. Then we had Fhraxium,

770
00:45:46,159 --> 00:45:48,920
and we had the war Raiders, the reigning TRIPAA Tag

771
00:45:48,960 --> 00:45:56,480
team champions, Oh God Side coming in high six out

772
00:45:56,519 --> 00:46:02,599
of fifteen on that bonus goal fucke Gargano making the

773
00:46:02,719 --> 00:46:07,079
easiest money that he'll ever make planking. I wish I

774
00:46:07,119 --> 00:46:12,480
could make six figures just planking anywhere. It's true, it's true.

775
00:46:12,519 --> 00:46:15,960
The base salary for a WWE star supposedly these days

776
00:46:16,039 --> 00:46:19,960
is about three hundred and fifty thousand dollars. Stands to

777
00:46:20,039 --> 00:46:23,519
reason he's probably making more than that. You know, I'm not.

778
00:46:23,760 --> 00:46:27,079
I'm sure he's not making a million, but you had

779
00:46:27,119 --> 00:46:31,360
to estimate what he's making for planking, I probably would

780
00:46:31,400 --> 00:46:33,920
do the same thing. It's just a shame because we

781
00:46:33,960 --> 00:46:38,239
know Johnny Gargano can actually wrestle, and instead he's just

782
00:46:38,480 --> 00:46:43,800
literally laying around every week. But hey, money is money,

783
00:46:43,840 --> 00:46:49,079
I guess right now, Phraxium, they got the jobber entrance

784
00:46:49,079 --> 00:46:51,360
here so the war Raiders could get their full entrance.

785
00:46:51,360 --> 00:46:53,960
And the only reason the war Raiders even got a match,

786
00:46:54,280 --> 00:46:56,760
let alone their full entrance on this show is because

787
00:46:56,800 --> 00:47:01,159
a they're the TRIAA Tag Team champions and be they

788
00:47:01,159 --> 00:47:04,599
are preparing to defend their titles against Damian Priest at

789
00:47:04,639 --> 00:47:06,880
Our Truth one of these weeks, unless they do it

790
00:47:06,880 --> 00:47:10,719
as Summer Slim, which I suppose is possible. But Priest

791
00:47:10,760 --> 00:47:13,320
even said a few weeks ago, like, if we do this,

792
00:47:13,400 --> 00:47:16,000
we're doing this on Smackdowns. So this is a television

793
00:47:16,000 --> 00:47:19,320
match all the way. The only reason I say maybe

794
00:47:19,320 --> 00:47:22,760
Summer Slim is because it's title for title, and you know,

795
00:47:22,840 --> 00:47:25,079
maybe they think that's kind of a big deal, even

796
00:47:25,119 --> 00:47:28,639
though I mean it's really not. But because of that,

797
00:47:29,079 --> 00:47:31,840
they got a full entrance and they actually got time

798
00:47:31,960 --> 00:47:34,119
to go in there and remind people that they can

799
00:47:34,159 --> 00:47:36,880
actually wrestle, and they're actually a pretty damn good tag team,

800
00:47:36,920 --> 00:47:40,480
wouldn't you know now when they initially came out, nobody cared.

801
00:47:41,159 --> 00:47:45,360
Nobody cared. To their credit, and I mean Phraxium, they

802
00:47:45,360 --> 00:47:47,199
always go out there when you give them a chance,

803
00:47:47,360 --> 00:47:49,039
they always go out there and kill it, even in

804
00:47:49,079 --> 00:47:52,199
singles matches. But to their credit, all four of these men,

805
00:47:53,199 --> 00:47:55,199
by the time that this match was over, they had

806
00:47:55,199 --> 00:47:58,639
people channing this is awesome. Were people were going nuts for.

807
00:47:58,800 --> 00:48:01,920
People were really super in to this match, and deservedly

808
00:48:01,960 --> 00:48:03,840
so because it turned out to be a pretty damn

809
00:48:03,840 --> 00:48:09,039
good match. Ivar stacked Fraser and Axium on top of

810
00:48:09,079 --> 00:48:10,960
one another. Late in the match he was going up

811
00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:15,360
top for a gigantic moon Salt. They thankfully moved out

812
00:48:15,400 --> 00:48:18,239
of the way and there was nobody in the pool.

813
00:48:18,559 --> 00:48:22,039
When he landed. Fraser connected on a springboard four fifty

814
00:48:22,039 --> 00:48:25,400
though for an earfall Axiom he leapt through the air,

815
00:48:25,440 --> 00:48:28,960
but he got caught by Ivarm promptly put down. So

816
00:48:29,000 --> 00:48:32,320
Fraser went for this wild suicide dive and he sent

817
00:48:32,440 --> 00:48:37,320
himself face first and headfirst right into the side slash

818
00:48:37,599 --> 00:48:41,119
edge of the announced desk, and it made a great sound,

819
00:48:41,159 --> 00:48:43,800
It made a great thud, and he totally no sold

820
00:48:43,800 --> 00:48:46,840
it because he wasn't supposed to hit the table, so

821
00:48:46,920 --> 00:48:51,559
he just pretended like it didn't even happen. Okay, kind

822
00:48:51,599 --> 00:48:54,239
of a waste, But here comes Axiom and he hits

823
00:48:54,280 --> 00:48:56,239
a suicide dive, and at least this time he didn't

824
00:48:56,360 --> 00:48:59,760
freaking kill himself on the landing. Axiom wound up on

825
00:48:59,760 --> 00:49:02,360
the opera before Fraser joined in. They hit a double

826
00:49:02,400 --> 00:49:07,119
super plex I Forget on which Viking Fraser followed with

827
00:49:07,119 --> 00:49:09,400
a Phoenix splash. Eric though made the safe to break

828
00:49:09,440 --> 00:49:12,239
the count, but in the end they put down Fraser

829
00:49:12,280 --> 00:49:16,280
and then Axiom got put down with their Ragnarok double

830
00:49:16,360 --> 00:49:20,400
Chope slam to win it. Not only did they wrestle

831
00:49:20,440 --> 00:49:24,760
a match, they won. Boy, You see that right there

832
00:49:24,800 --> 00:49:27,119
tells you they got a big match coming up. It

833
00:49:27,239 --> 00:49:30,000
may be the only time they win a match on SmackDown.

834
00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:31,559
But this was the best thing on the show up

835
00:49:31,599 --> 00:49:33,760
to this point. And now that I look back at it,

836
00:49:33,800 --> 00:49:36,559
and I thought the main event was solid, this right

837
00:49:36,639 --> 00:49:40,239
here was the best thing on the entire show. And again,

838
00:49:40,280 --> 00:49:43,199
it was cold when they first came out, but they

839
00:49:43,199 --> 00:49:46,760
were able to win the crowd over because sometimes you

840
00:49:46,920 --> 00:49:49,559
just send two guys out there, or two women or

841
00:49:49,599 --> 00:49:53,400
two tag teams. You give them some time. Yes, it's

842
00:49:53,400 --> 00:49:55,480
not a three hour show anymore, but so the hell,

843
00:49:55,519 --> 00:49:58,800
what give them ten, twelve, fourteen minutes? Let them go

844
00:49:58,840 --> 00:50:02,519
out there and just have a great wrestling match. Mixed

845
00:50:02,559 --> 00:50:04,719
in with all the other gaga on the show and

846
00:50:04,760 --> 00:50:08,320
the promos and you know, the Danausen skits and everything else,

847
00:50:09,320 --> 00:50:12,840
you got to give people some really good wrestling as well.

848
00:50:14,039 --> 00:50:16,320
And it feels like we don't get enough of that

849
00:50:16,760 --> 00:50:19,920
on these shows. Sometimes we get too much of it

850
00:50:20,239 --> 00:50:24,199
on certain wrestling shows, and there's not enough in between.

851
00:50:24,880 --> 00:50:27,280
We don't get enough of it on this show. I

852
00:50:27,280 --> 00:50:28,599
don't want to sit here and say, well, you know,

853
00:50:28,599 --> 00:50:31,039
I'm grading on a curve because you know, compared to

854
00:50:31,119 --> 00:50:33,280
other matches we may have seen on television over the

855
00:50:33,320 --> 00:50:36,760
past month, this couldn't hold a candle to that. True.

856
00:50:36,880 --> 00:50:41,320
We had two excellent World Championship matches on television only

857
00:50:41,400 --> 00:50:44,559
within the last couple of weeks, but as compared to

858
00:50:44,599 --> 00:50:47,400
everything else on this show, this pretty much blew everything

859
00:50:47,440 --> 00:50:49,840
else away in ring and it was a lot of fun,

860
00:50:50,639 --> 00:50:53,800
but we don't get enough of it. I'd like to

861
00:50:53,800 --> 00:50:56,239
see more stuff like this, even when they send Ray

862
00:50:56,280 --> 00:50:58,239
Phoenix out there, you know, every now and then to

863
00:50:58,239 --> 00:51:02,119
have a triple a cruiserweight titled against somebody and he

864
00:51:02,280 --> 00:51:05,480
usually tears it up. You know, you got to have

865
00:51:06,320 --> 00:51:08,199
more of that, I think on these shows as well,

866
00:51:08,599 --> 00:51:11,719
because there's so much bad stuff on these SmackDown shows,

867
00:51:12,519 --> 00:51:16,559
you you need some actual great wrestling as a palette cleanser,

868
00:51:17,679 --> 00:51:19,400
because if you don't, if you don't even have that,

869
00:51:20,079 --> 00:51:22,480
what are you left with on these Do you see

870
00:51:22,519 --> 00:51:25,119
some of these shows, how awful some of these shows are.

871
00:51:27,159 --> 00:51:29,960
If you didn't have a couple of really good wrestling matches,

872
00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:33,440
what would you be left with? What would you be

873
00:51:33,519 --> 00:51:36,840
left with? Dan Housen in his laboratory and a bunch

874
00:51:36,880 --> 00:51:39,440
of fanatics, Fest replays, and a couple of replays of

875
00:51:39,440 --> 00:51:43,039
what happened on the Better Show on Monday Night. That's

876
00:51:43,039 --> 00:51:45,880
what you would be left with, and apparently one hundred

877
00:51:45,880 --> 00:51:51,920
and eighty three minutes of commercials according to Netflix. Cody

878
00:51:52,000 --> 00:51:54,159
Roose was in the back doing final prep for the

879
00:51:54,199 --> 00:51:58,199
main event when Cmpunk showed up and he just asked him,

880
00:51:58,360 --> 00:52:03,159
goes Gunther the night before Saturday night's main event? And

881
00:52:03,199 --> 00:52:06,559
Cody said, I got my head kicked into a car door.

882
00:52:06,920 --> 00:52:09,000
And Punk said, look, I get it, but is this

883
00:52:09,039 --> 00:52:12,039
a good idea? And Cody says, oh no, no, it's

884
00:52:12,039 --> 00:52:14,880
not a good idea. And Punk said, look, I'm going

885
00:52:14,920 --> 00:52:16,719
to go out there to make sure that Gunther doesn't

886
00:52:16,800 --> 00:52:21,519
hurt you personally. And Cody said, sure, you can watch

887
00:52:21,559 --> 00:52:25,199
from that monitor right over there. I'm going to go

888
00:52:25,239 --> 00:52:26,880
out there and take care of the whole, you know,

889
00:52:26,920 --> 00:52:31,480
Gunther stuff, and I'll see you tomorrow. And Punk said

890
00:52:31,480 --> 00:52:36,239
that right, I'll see you out there, and so this

891
00:52:36,679 --> 00:52:41,480
went back and forth as Cody left. Speaking of Dan Housen,

892
00:52:42,679 --> 00:52:47,960
we had Dan Housen in his laboratory, his traveling laboratory,

893
00:52:48,119 --> 00:52:50,440
and Jackie Redman was in there, to interview him, and

894
00:52:50,519 --> 00:52:53,679
dan Housen said that because she brought up the fact

895
00:52:53,679 --> 00:52:57,280
that you know you're going into this match and you

896
00:52:57,400 --> 00:52:59,920
know that JD mcdonoughy is going to have dominic mysterio

897
00:53:00,079 --> 00:53:02,960
in his corner. You told Matt Cardona you didn't need

898
00:53:03,000 --> 00:53:06,039
his help. Are you sure that's smart? Do you have

899
00:53:06,920 --> 00:53:10,960
someone basically to watch your back? And dan Housen said, yeah,

900
00:53:10,960 --> 00:53:14,800
he has a secret weapon for the match at Saturday

901
00:53:14,840 --> 00:53:17,239
night's main event, and he went and he brought in

902
00:53:17,559 --> 00:53:22,480
a small cage with a stuffed animal inside. It was

903
00:53:22,519 --> 00:53:25,280
a stuffed cat. I don't mean an actual cat that

904
00:53:25,320 --> 00:53:27,320
at least I hope not that they that they stuffed,

905
00:53:27,320 --> 00:53:32,079
but it was a stuffed cat animal. And Jackie was

906
00:53:33,119 --> 00:53:36,400
very confused by this, and he pointed out that the

907
00:53:36,480 --> 00:53:40,440
cat would be a good weapon and you would be

908
00:53:40,519 --> 00:53:43,920
cursed if you crossed its path, which is true. If

909
00:53:44,000 --> 00:53:46,960
you will walk past a black cat, right, that's that's

910
00:53:46,960 --> 00:53:49,679
supposedly bad luck, or if a black cat goes running

911
00:53:49,679 --> 00:53:52,320
past you, it's was that seven years of bad luck

912
00:53:52,400 --> 00:53:55,079
or something like that, or is that breaking a mirror?

913
00:53:56,840 --> 00:54:00,280
I know it's supposed to be bad luck, but hey,

914
00:54:00,320 --> 00:54:02,639
so like I'm watching this, and I'm sure everybody's like,

915
00:54:02,679 --> 00:54:05,880
what the hell cat? And I'm like, hmm, cat, you

916
00:54:05,960 --> 00:54:10,639
say I know a cat. I know a cat who

917
00:54:10,639 --> 00:54:14,280
actually plays for the world Champion of New York Knicks

918
00:54:14,719 --> 00:54:17,199
won Karl Anthony Towns. So I think this was kind

919
00:54:17,199 --> 00:54:19,480
of a little wink in a nod about which New

920
00:54:19,559 --> 00:54:21,400
York nick is going to be showing up in support

921
00:54:21,440 --> 00:54:24,119
of Dan Housen since Jalen Brunson is going to be

922
00:54:24,159 --> 00:54:26,880
a little bit busy with Roman reigns and whatever acknowledgment

923
00:54:27,000 --> 00:54:30,079
ceremony they're going to be having tomorrow. I think we

924
00:54:30,159 --> 00:54:32,480
just found out who's going to be in Dan Housen's corner.

925
00:54:33,039 --> 00:54:37,400
Cat is going to be there. I'm sure there'll be

926
00:54:37,440 --> 00:54:42,719
other members of the team present as well, but anyway, no,

927
00:54:42,800 --> 00:54:44,920
we'll not. It will not be Stacey Carter. It will

928
00:54:44,920 --> 00:54:52,719
not be It will not be the cat Ah, Karl

929
00:54:52,719 --> 00:54:56,239
Anthony Towns. Yes, watching SmackDown gives you seven years of

930
00:54:56,280 --> 00:55:00,360
bad luck. It feels that way, doesn't it. I feel

931
00:55:00,400 --> 00:55:08,880
I do sometimes feel like I'm being punished. Bash Bash says, Oh,

932
00:55:08,920 --> 00:55:10,719
you know, I didn't think about that. Bash says, it

933
00:55:10,719 --> 00:55:13,199
it could be. It could be the bear Cat. It

934
00:55:13,239 --> 00:55:16,760
could be, it could be, it could be Bear Cat,

935
00:55:16,840 --> 00:55:25,039
Keith Lee. No, Ernest Miller, no, no, no, nobody would

936
00:55:25,079 --> 00:55:27,159
even know who he is? Are you kidding me? You

937
00:55:27,199 --> 00:55:29,199
think this audience would even know who the fuck he is?

938
00:55:31,159 --> 00:55:33,199
Did you see the people that go to these shows now?

939
00:55:33,199 --> 00:55:39,039
They have no idea who Ernest Miller is. I'm surprised

940
00:55:39,079 --> 00:55:41,119
that they would even know what the initials w CW.

941
00:55:41,199 --> 00:55:43,760
You mean they probably they probably figured w CW was

942
00:55:43,760 --> 00:55:48,400
the thing every Wednesday on fucking X. They have no

943
00:55:48,440 --> 00:55:53,880
idea what it actually stands for. The main event. Let's

944
00:55:53,920 --> 00:55:58,239
talk about this main event. Oh, as soon as I

945
00:55:58,280 --> 00:56:06,559
say main events, he shows up. Of course, Fuck of

946
00:56:06,599 --> 00:56:08,960
course he does. As soon as I say main event.

947
00:56:09,039 --> 00:56:14,960
He can't help himself. Jericho Mushow. Actually, to his credit, Jericho,

948
00:56:15,000 --> 00:56:17,679
since he's come back, has not been in any real

949
00:56:17,719 --> 00:56:21,360
main events. He's He's right where he should be. He's

950
00:56:21,360 --> 00:56:24,360
in the mid card working with other people. So I

951
00:56:24,360 --> 00:56:27,440
can't really complain about that. But we had in the

952
00:56:27,440 --> 00:56:30,639
main event, Cody Roads against Gunther, who entered first, but

953
00:56:30,719 --> 00:56:32,880
Cody jumped him on the stage and the fight was on.

954
00:56:33,599 --> 00:56:36,119
Cody took a hard spill though out to the floor

955
00:56:36,159 --> 00:56:39,400
ahead of a commercial break, and Gunther had control of

956
00:56:39,440 --> 00:56:41,559
things when they came back. Cody bounced back though with

957
00:56:41,559 --> 00:56:44,119
a Cody cutter and then a disaster kick and one

958
00:56:44,159 --> 00:56:49,199
more Cody cutter. Crossroads got blocked and Gunther he kicked

959
00:56:49,239 --> 00:56:52,480
the back of Cody's leg, so he was targeting the leg.

960
00:56:52,559 --> 00:56:56,280
He dragged him over towards the corner. He rammed his

961
00:56:56,360 --> 00:56:59,360
leg up against the ring post and then we heard

962
00:57:01,000 --> 00:57:04,039
and out he comes. We hear the music. Here comes

963
00:57:04,079 --> 00:57:08,519
the WWE champion CM Punk and Gunther is mocking him.

964
00:57:08,599 --> 00:57:11,199
And I'm not even sure if this may have aired

965
00:57:11,239 --> 00:57:14,119
during the commercial break, but he's mocking Well, let me

966
00:57:14,159 --> 00:57:15,639
know in the chat off this air during the show

967
00:57:15,719 --> 00:57:17,679
or if this was something I saw during the commercial.

968
00:57:17,679 --> 00:57:20,719
But Punk comes out and Gunther is mocking him. He

969
00:57:20,760 --> 00:57:22,760
puts Cody on his shoulders, He's going to give him

970
00:57:22,760 --> 00:57:26,519
a a GTS, but Cody got out of it and

971
00:57:26,559 --> 00:57:29,159
took him down and they I think at this point

972
00:57:29,159 --> 00:57:32,000
they cut to a brake. There's no way this happened

973
00:57:32,039 --> 00:57:34,760
during the break, and then they cut immediately to another break.

974
00:57:35,559 --> 00:57:38,079
Although this is WWE, so honestly, at this point nothing

975
00:57:38,119 --> 00:57:44,800
would shock me. Yes, he kicked his leg out of

976
00:57:44,800 --> 00:57:48,840
his leg, so now Gunther was punishing the bad leg

977
00:57:48,960 --> 00:57:51,679
with a single leg crab. Cody got out of it.

978
00:57:51,719 --> 00:57:56,360
He started targeting Gunther's leg with kicks, dragon screw and

979
00:57:56,400 --> 00:57:58,719
then a figure four leg lucked by Cody is applied.

980
00:57:58,760 --> 00:58:02,199
When all of a sudden, Sammy Zain we haven't seen

981
00:58:02,239 --> 00:58:07,880
him since he lost the WWE Championship, but he appeared

982
00:58:07,880 --> 00:58:12,000
at ringside again wearing a shirt Justice for Sammy. He

983
00:58:12,039 --> 00:58:18,199
attacks the mpunk Zayan. You know. Obviously, Cody sees Zaane

984
00:58:18,199 --> 00:58:20,400
outside of the ring, so Cody hits a suicide dive.

985
00:58:21,039 --> 00:58:23,079
The two of them are fighting, Cody got sent into

986
00:58:23,079 --> 00:58:26,519
the ring post and the referee call for the disqualification. Yes,

987
00:58:26,920 --> 00:58:29,119
the second time here on this show. At least here

988
00:58:29,159 --> 00:58:32,599
we got a legitimately solid match out of it. Not

989
00:58:32,719 --> 00:58:36,639
that I'm complaining that Jade Cargill and Naya Jackson didn't

990
00:58:36,639 --> 00:58:39,719
get ten minutes of ringtime on this show, but still

991
00:58:40,360 --> 00:58:45,239
that entire segment was fucking atrocious. Here we had the

992
00:58:45,360 --> 00:58:51,519
predictable disqualification, and the lesson here that I learned in

993
00:58:51,639 --> 00:58:56,119
watching this this was very very apparent here is that

994
00:58:56,719 --> 00:59:00,960
Gunther still cannot beat Cody Rhoades. He can't do it.

995
00:59:02,039 --> 00:59:04,440
He can't do it. He lost to Cody at Crown

996
00:59:04,559 --> 00:59:07,239
Jewel a couple of years ago. He lost to Cody

997
00:59:07,280 --> 00:59:10,679
in Italy. He lost to Cody on SmackDown. Now they

998
00:59:10,719 --> 00:59:16,840
had another match. Lost again. Here this man cannot He

999
00:59:16,840 --> 00:59:20,000
could beat John Cena, he could beat aj Styles, he

1000
00:59:20,000 --> 00:59:22,199
could beat Goldberg, he could beat all these men at

1001
00:59:22,239 --> 00:59:26,000
the very end of their careers. But if you're in

1002
00:59:26,079 --> 00:59:31,400
the prime of your career, Gunther can't beat you. He

1003
00:59:31,440 --> 00:59:37,920
can't do it. So at this point they were getting ready.

1004
00:59:38,239 --> 00:59:41,400
Sammy and Gunther were to put Cody through the announced desk.

1005
00:59:41,719 --> 00:59:44,519
Sammy cleared the table off, Gunther was going to power

1006
00:59:44,519 --> 00:59:49,119
bomb him. Punk came jumping off the table. Big brawl

1007
00:59:49,159 --> 00:59:53,119
with all four men spills into the ring, and here

1008
00:59:53,159 --> 00:59:59,119
come referees and agents to unsuccessfully try to keep them apart,

1009
01:00:00,079 --> 01:00:02,400
and it's chaos as the show goes off the air.

1010
01:00:02,960 --> 01:00:05,079
I thought it was a nice little bit of chaos

1011
01:00:05,119 --> 01:00:08,840
there at the end all they really needed to do. Honestly,

1012
01:00:08,880 --> 01:00:11,280
here it's the last SmackDown, the last show here before

1013
01:00:11,320 --> 01:00:15,920
Saturday night's main event, and this was fine. This was

1014
01:00:16,079 --> 01:00:19,719
exactly what they needed to do. I like the addition

1015
01:00:19,800 --> 01:00:22,119
of the stipulation. I do think that it adds some

1016
01:00:22,239 --> 01:00:26,320
intrigue that wasn't there before. Now as far as well,

1017
01:00:26,360 --> 01:00:29,159
maybe maybe, right, maybe there's a chance I could see

1018
01:00:29,199 --> 01:00:31,719
all four of these men being involved in the Fatal

1019
01:00:31,760 --> 01:00:34,960
four way. If they weren't so heavily teasing a match

1020
01:00:35,320 --> 01:00:37,559
between Gunther and Nick all this, I would say, yeah,

1021
01:00:37,599 --> 01:00:40,159
you know what, maybe maybe they will do a Fatal

1022
01:00:40,199 --> 01:00:43,159
four way. But it's very apparent that we're getting a

1023
01:00:43,159 --> 01:00:45,079
match between gun Through and Nick all This, and so

1024
01:00:45,239 --> 01:00:47,719
that's what Gunther is going to be doing at Summerslim.

1025
01:00:47,840 --> 01:00:51,599
So they're absolutely one hundred percent now winning this match tomorrow,

1026
01:00:52,800 --> 01:00:54,800
and it is one hundred percent going to be Nick

1027
01:00:54,840 --> 01:00:58,800
alldis finally for the first time wrestling in WWE. I'm

1028
01:00:58,920 --> 01:01:01,519
very curious just to see how they set it up.

1029
01:01:02,159 --> 01:01:03,920
You know, do we see all this tomorrow and I

1030
01:01:03,960 --> 01:01:06,719
do they hold off until SmackDown next week? Obviously Summer

1031
01:01:06,719 --> 01:01:08,800
Slam is right around the corner, So whatever they're gonna do,

1032
01:01:08,840 --> 01:01:10,440
they're gonna have to do it within the next week

1033
01:01:10,559 --> 01:01:14,119
or so. And that's really the only question at this point.

1034
01:01:14,800 --> 01:01:18,800
What Sammy's Ain does at Summer Slam is anybody's guest.

1035
01:01:18,840 --> 01:01:20,800
The only thing, honestly that would even make sense at

1036
01:01:20,800 --> 01:01:26,840
this point would be Sammy's Ain against Johnny Gargano. I'm

1037
01:01:26,880 --> 01:01:30,320
not sure how they get to that, the idea of

1038
01:01:30,320 --> 01:01:33,440
that even being a Summer Slam match, like in a

1039
01:01:33,480 --> 01:01:38,199
different multiverse, the idea of doing a great wrestling match

1040
01:01:38,440 --> 01:01:42,480
at a Summer Slam between Johnny Gargano right, Johnny wrestling

1041
01:01:42,559 --> 01:01:46,519
from NXT Black and Gold against Sammy's Ain, I could

1042
01:01:46,559 --> 01:01:48,840
absolutely see it, and they would go out there and

1043
01:01:48,880 --> 01:01:53,400
it would be fantastic. This is a very different Johnny Gargano,

1044
01:01:53,519 --> 01:01:57,599
who has literally been laying there for months. The idea

1045
01:01:57,599 --> 01:01:59,199
that he would go from that to being in a

1046
01:01:59,239 --> 01:02:01,880
Summer Slam match, which is quite the leap. I can't

1047
01:02:01,880 --> 01:02:04,480
think of anything else Sammy's a would be doing if

1048
01:02:04,679 --> 01:02:09,800
if not that, I have no idea. He may he

1049
01:02:09,840 --> 01:02:11,760
may not even be on the card. I don't know.

1050
01:02:12,880 --> 01:02:18,239
I don't know. The war Raiders fraxy of match. As

1051
01:02:18,239 --> 01:02:22,320
I said earlier, in my opinion, best not just match,

1052
01:02:22,480 --> 01:02:24,880
best thing on the entire show outside of that, and

1053
01:02:24,920 --> 01:02:27,800
maybe this ending. This was not a good show, not

1054
01:02:27,920 --> 01:02:32,039
a good smack Down, a very skippable show with two

1055
01:02:32,360 --> 01:02:37,400
very forgettable qualifiers for the women's ladder match. I greatly

1056
01:02:37,480 --> 01:02:41,079
dislike this interim title nonsense. I don't like it when

1057
01:02:41,239 --> 01:02:43,599
Tony Kahan does it. I don't like it here either.

1058
01:02:44,400 --> 01:02:47,679
I just don't think any of it is necessary. And

1059
01:02:47,679 --> 01:02:50,960
that's how I feel Saturday Night's main event tomorrow, I

1060
01:02:51,039 --> 01:02:55,039
will be live fingers crossed. I will be live on

1061
01:02:55,079 --> 01:02:57,840
YouTube after the show is over for the full review.

1062
01:02:57,880 --> 01:03:01,320
This is the card as it stands. Roman Reigns will

1063
01:03:01,320 --> 01:03:03,199
be on the show. He will be doing something with

1064
01:03:03,320 --> 01:03:05,440
Jalen Brunson. We don't know what, but they will be

1065
01:03:05,559 --> 01:03:11,159
together on the show. Dan Housen and JD McDonough no disqualification.

1066
01:03:11,639 --> 01:03:13,960
We know Dominic Mysterio is going to be in JD

1067
01:03:14,079 --> 01:03:18,480
McDonough's corner, and it sounds like Carl Anthony Towns of

1068
01:03:18,519 --> 01:03:22,000
the New York Knicks may be making a cameo appearance

1069
01:03:22,280 --> 01:03:27,559
to aid Dan Housen in what will I mean? As

1070
01:03:27,639 --> 01:03:30,840
apparent as the outcome is in the main event, this

1071
01:03:31,000 --> 01:03:33,760
is obviously the most predictable match on the show. I

1072
01:03:33,840 --> 01:03:38,039
think if JD McDonough beats Dan Housen tomorrow, he may

1073
01:03:38,039 --> 01:03:40,440
not make it Adam Madison, Square Garden in one Piece,

1074
01:03:41,719 --> 01:03:43,480
Dan Housen. They're going to be treating him like a

1075
01:03:43,519 --> 01:03:48,239
god in New York City tomorrow and so obviously he's

1076
01:03:48,239 --> 01:03:49,679
going to win them. Man, you don't need me to

1077
01:03:49,679 --> 01:03:52,039
tell you that. We also have the women's tag team

1078
01:03:52,079 --> 01:03:55,239
titles on the line, Paige and Bribella defending against Fallon

1079
01:03:55,280 --> 01:03:58,039
Henley and Landy Reid. We will have new women's tag

1080
01:03:58,079 --> 01:04:02,239
team champions. We also have Bailey and Lyrah Valkeria going

1081
01:04:02,280 --> 01:04:05,199
one on one, and this should be a win for Lyra.

1082
01:04:05,440 --> 01:04:07,800
Would not be surprised if maybe this is where they

1083
01:04:07,840 --> 01:04:11,639
debut Tatum Pasley and if she were to show up

1084
01:04:11,679 --> 01:04:16,239
to assist Lyra and the main event Cody Rosen, CM

1085
01:04:16,320 --> 01:04:20,519
Punk taken on Gunther and Sammy Zain, and this will

1086
01:04:20,559 --> 01:04:24,199
be a win for Cody and Punk because ain't neither

1087
01:04:24,239 --> 01:04:26,760
one of them going to be losing between now and SummerSlam,

1088
01:04:27,159 --> 01:04:29,400
and they're not turning this into a fatal four way.

1089
01:04:30,440 --> 01:04:33,559
Do we see some sort of miscommunication? Do we see

1090
01:04:33,559 --> 01:04:37,480
some sort of tension between them? The answer is yes, absolutely,

1091
01:04:37,519 --> 01:04:42,599
one hundred percent. We will see something of that nature

1092
01:04:42,719 --> 01:04:46,440
happen either during the match after the match with Cody

1093
01:04:46,480 --> 01:04:51,000
and Punk. Tempers will flare, things will heat up, and

1094
01:04:51,400 --> 01:04:53,239
we have two weeks left I think it is until

1095
01:04:53,239 --> 01:04:56,559
summer slim and things will hopefully really begin to build

1096
01:04:56,599 --> 01:04:59,679
to where we can get that one week un smacked.

1097
01:05:00,000 --> 01:05:03,320
Maybe it's next Friday, but that one episode is SmackDown

1098
01:05:03,719 --> 01:05:07,719
with that one truly money promo between CM, Punk and

1099
01:05:07,760 --> 01:05:10,480
Cody Roads we haven't gone to yet. It's been very

1100
01:05:10,480 --> 01:05:13,960
buddy buddy the way they set it up last week. Right, No,

1101
01:05:14,320 --> 01:05:16,920
you know Punk saying maybe subconsciously, you know this is

1102
01:05:17,119 --> 01:05:19,920
a match that we've both been avoiding because we're both friends,

1103
01:05:19,920 --> 01:05:21,719
and I don't want to do anything to jeopardize that.

1104
01:05:22,719 --> 01:05:26,559
I'm so happy your friends will cut the bullshit and

1105
01:05:26,639 --> 01:05:29,719
let's get down to brass tacks here. Clearly, you guys

1106
01:05:29,719 --> 01:05:31,559
have a lot on your mind. I'm sure to share

1107
01:05:31,559 --> 01:05:34,679
about one another and the journeys that both of you

1108
01:05:34,719 --> 01:05:36,880
have taken to get to where you are today. So

1109
01:05:36,920 --> 01:05:40,000
why don't you talk about that. Let's hear it, let's

1110
01:05:40,000 --> 01:05:43,159
have it out right. We still have to get that,

1111
01:05:43,159 --> 01:05:45,920
that's what's really gonna I mean, look, people are gonna

1112
01:05:45,920 --> 01:05:47,559
want to see the match regardless, but I mean in

1113
01:05:47,639 --> 01:05:51,639
terms of like selling that main event. We still have

1114
01:05:51,719 --> 01:05:54,760
to get that. Maybe they just do a contract signing

1115
01:05:54,760 --> 01:05:56,800
like they did with Roman and Seth this week, which

1116
01:05:56,840 --> 01:05:59,679
is so just trite and played out at this point.

1117
01:05:59,719 --> 01:06:02,880
But as long as we get that verbal exchange, that's

1118
01:06:02,920 --> 01:06:05,480
really what I'm waiting on there, because I am looking

1119
01:06:05,519 --> 01:06:08,519
forward to the match. Even though they may run Roman

1120
01:06:08,519 --> 01:06:10,599
in Seth as the main event on Night two, they

1121
01:06:10,639 --> 01:06:15,440
have more history together. It's Roman, right, I mean, Roman

1122
01:06:15,480 --> 01:06:17,039
got the Night two main event, but he got the

1123
01:06:17,119 --> 01:06:19,239
Night two main event also because you know, him and

1124
01:06:19,320 --> 01:06:23,000
Punk was the bigger match than Cody and Randy, which

1125
01:06:23,039 --> 01:06:28,119
they sabotaged. TKO sabotaged. They didn't see it that way,

1126
01:06:28,920 --> 01:06:32,519
but that's basically what happened. So it made sense for

1127
01:06:32,599 --> 01:06:35,880
Roman and Punk to get most of the spotlight and

1128
01:06:35,920 --> 01:06:39,599
the attention this year WrestleMania. Roman and Seth will probably

1129
01:06:39,639 --> 01:06:42,280
get it this year, but the main event that I'm

1130
01:06:42,320 --> 01:06:47,880
looking forward to is Cody and Punk. So let's take

1131
01:06:47,880 --> 01:06:49,360
a look at your super chats. We got a bunch

1132
01:06:49,360 --> 01:06:53,159
of them to go through here, and we also have

1133
01:06:53,199 --> 01:06:56,920
to check where we are on the goal, which was

1134
01:06:56,960 --> 01:07:01,679
four fifty. We were at four twenty eight, so we're

1135
01:07:01,679 --> 01:07:05,039
still twenty or so short off the goal. We gotta

1136
01:07:05,079 --> 01:07:14,559
get that up. We're very close. Yeah, it's a good point.

1137
01:07:14,559 --> 01:07:16,440
We actually have two main events coming up for the

1138
01:07:16,519 --> 01:07:22,599
two major shows in August in WWE and a w

1139
01:07:22,599 --> 01:07:27,599
World title, main events that are based on friendship. We

1140
01:07:27,639 --> 01:07:34,960
have two friends. I respect you, I love you, Brev.

1141
01:07:36,360 --> 01:07:40,519
You are my inspiration, Brev. And then here we have

1142
01:07:40,599 --> 01:07:43,079
two men who boy, you know, maybe we've been avoiding

1143
01:07:43,119 --> 01:07:51,760
this because we're friends. It's a little much. We need

1144
01:07:51,800 --> 01:07:57,159
some heat. We need some heat between these men death sithe.

1145
01:07:58,119 --> 01:08:02,960
Let's start with you. Bred. Back at the twenty twenty

1146
01:08:02,960 --> 01:08:07,480
two Royal Rumble, Seth came out to the Shield theme

1147
01:08:07,559 --> 01:08:11,119
music and dressed up in the Shield attire to play

1148
01:08:11,199 --> 01:08:14,719
mind games with Roman. What if Roman returns the favor

1149
01:08:14,800 --> 01:08:21,159
by doing the same at summerslim M wouldn't really fit

1150
01:08:21,199 --> 01:08:24,039
the whole tribal chief thing if he came out any

1151
01:08:24,079 --> 01:08:26,600
other way but with the ulafalla around his neck and

1152
01:08:26,640 --> 01:08:31,520
the way that he usually does. I mean, I'm not

1153
01:08:31,600 --> 01:08:34,560
saying he can't come out in the tactical vest, but

1154
01:08:35,640 --> 01:08:42,640
it's not something I'm expecting. GMB, will you dress as

1155
01:08:42,680 --> 01:08:49,119
the Painmaker for a stream. No, I think the Painmaker

1156
01:08:49,159 --> 01:08:54,800
looks completely ridiculous. Hey Nico, what's going on? Eco's got

1157
01:08:54,840 --> 01:09:00,760
a bunch of super chats here? Why WWEE couldn't have

1158
01:09:00,840 --> 01:09:04,680
re evacate the title? Can't stand the whole Interim Champion

1159
01:09:04,800 --> 01:09:12,560
seems ridiculous because it is ridiculous. Doesn't seem ridiculous, It

1160
01:09:12,680 --> 01:09:21,000
is ridiculous, says I gonna see The Odyssey tomorrow afternoon.

1161
01:09:21,039 --> 01:09:24,800
How was it? That was great? I have some more

1162
01:09:24,840 --> 01:09:33,199
thoughts on Sunday. You'll enjoy it very loud, as certain

1163
01:09:33,279 --> 01:09:37,560
Nolan movies are known to be very very loud in

1164
01:09:37,680 --> 01:09:43,319
certain scenes. He says. I saw Evil Dead Burn, very

1165
01:09:43,399 --> 01:09:48,239
violent in gory, and there's a mid credit scene in

1166
01:09:48,279 --> 01:09:50,920
a post credit scene for anyone who is going to

1167
01:09:51,000 --> 01:09:57,840
watch it interesting. I saw Toy Story five really good,

1168
01:09:57,960 --> 01:10:00,279
enjoyed it. Theater was packed and there were two scenes

1169
01:10:00,319 --> 01:10:04,039
that made me shed a tear. That was also a

1170
01:10:04,079 --> 01:10:11,640
great movie. Because I don't know how you felt about

1171
01:10:11,640 --> 01:10:14,760
the promo between Osprey and Omega, but Will. When Will

1172
01:10:14,760 --> 01:10:17,359
said they're gonna be like Goku and Vegeta, I put

1173
01:10:17,399 --> 01:10:24,319
my head down and cringed. Yeah, I'll include my thoughts

1174
01:10:24,319 --> 01:10:29,039
in my Dynamite review on Wednesday. On Sunday, it'll be

1175
01:10:29,039 --> 01:10:31,800
on the sound off who do you got for the

1176
01:10:31,840 --> 01:10:34,760
latter match at SummerSlam. We don't know all the women

1177
01:10:34,760 --> 01:10:37,640
in the match yet, so it's kind of impossible for

1178
01:10:37,640 --> 01:10:39,239
me to make a prediction as to who it's going

1179
01:10:39,319 --> 01:10:42,039
to be until we know who's qualifying, just based on

1180
01:10:42,119 --> 01:10:44,279
who it looks like is going to be in the match.

1181
01:10:45,079 --> 01:10:49,920
I think we're looking at Charlotte or Jade. You know

1182
01:10:50,159 --> 01:10:54,600
Tiffany's in, but it's not going to be her. Think

1183
01:10:54,600 --> 01:10:57,239
you're looking at Charlotte or you're looking at Jade. It's

1184
01:10:57,239 --> 01:11:01,760
pretty much one of those two. The last thing we

1185
01:11:01,800 --> 01:11:05,159
need is Charlotte, or not Charlotte, but Riha and Jade.

1186
01:11:05,199 --> 01:11:06,960
When we just got it a couple of times we

1187
01:11:07,000 --> 01:11:09,119
had a WrestleMania, we got it in Italy. We don't

1188
01:11:09,119 --> 01:11:17,479
need it again. That leaves Charlotte Flair. Someone on IG

1189
01:11:17,720 --> 01:11:22,960
asked Bianca if she watches WWE since she's been out.

1190
01:11:23,199 --> 01:11:27,039
She says, no, I don't blame her for not watching

1191
01:11:27,079 --> 01:11:28,800
the pro well, I don't believe that. I believe that

1192
01:11:28,840 --> 01:11:32,560
she does watch Montes's stuff. The rest of the show.

1193
01:11:32,680 --> 01:11:34,439
The show she might not watch. I don't blame her.

1194
01:11:34,479 --> 01:11:36,399
Why would she watch it? The fucking show is awful

1195
01:11:36,439 --> 01:11:40,399
most of the time. Believe me, there are plenty of

1196
01:11:40,439 --> 01:11:42,039
weeks where if I didn't have to, I wouldn't watch

1197
01:11:42,039 --> 01:11:46,520
it either. Nico says, I don't see Joseph Stewart here, Briscilla.

1198
01:11:46,600 --> 01:11:49,560
Did you see that Warner Brothers pushed The Batman Part

1199
01:11:49,600 --> 01:11:57,000
two to February of twenty twenty eight. I did, I did.

1200
01:11:58,319 --> 01:12:02,640
I'm still skeptical that GTASA coming out this year. People

1201
01:12:02,680 --> 01:12:05,840
aren't gonna want to hear that, but I still think

1202
01:12:05,840 --> 01:12:12,720
it's going to get delayed again. Death Side says, I

1203
01:12:12,720 --> 01:12:15,399
guess Rhea didn't want to do the job to vacant

1204
01:12:19,479 --> 01:12:24,640
Live Laugh Love Lie. I like Fallon Henley, so does

1205
01:12:24,680 --> 01:12:33,000
Aaron Solo BROLLI. Based on WWE logic, why isn't there

1206
01:12:33,000 --> 01:12:36,479
an interim title holder for World Women's Championship since Live

1207
01:12:36,600 --> 01:12:40,520
has not defended it in over one hundred days? Yeah,

1208
01:12:40,680 --> 01:12:42,159
I said this the other night. I think it was

1209
01:12:42,199 --> 01:12:44,920
on TNT. We need to reinstate the thirty day rule.

1210
01:12:45,199 --> 01:12:48,800
I know they haven't abided by it in many, many years,

1211
01:12:48,840 --> 01:12:51,800
but we need to bring it back. We need to

1212
01:12:51,840 --> 01:12:53,560
bring back the thirty day rule. If you do not

1213
01:12:53,600 --> 01:12:56,039
defend your championship at least once every thirty days, you're

1214
01:12:56,039 --> 01:12:59,600
stripped of the title. This is just out of control,

1215
01:13:01,600 --> 01:13:05,079
absolutely addict. And that goes for all titles, tag team titles,

1216
01:13:05,239 --> 01:13:16,880
singles titles, all titles. So Tiffany and Jade qualify cyh. Yeah,

1217
01:13:16,880 --> 01:13:22,640
but she had to expect that that was coming. Handy

1218
01:13:22,720 --> 01:13:26,239
dandy notebook. We're quoting blues clues now. When is Blake

1219
01:13:26,279 --> 01:13:30,079
Monroe gonna have her debut match? I don't know. She

1220
01:13:30,159 --> 01:13:32,079
may just continue to beat people up in the back

1221
01:13:32,119 --> 01:13:35,720
for the rest of the year. It'll be less stressful

1222
01:13:35,760 --> 01:13:38,520
on her body. She may have come up with a

1223
01:13:39,159 --> 01:13:41,840
perfect way to not have to take bumps. Just beat

1224
01:13:41,880 --> 01:13:45,439
everybody up in the back, don't even get in the ring,

1225
01:13:48,840 --> 01:13:53,800
try chicken. I hate what WWE did with Obafemi's booking.

1226
01:13:53,840 --> 01:13:56,560
It's not logical. Sometimes I feel like Triple H keeps

1227
01:13:56,600 --> 01:14:00,960
trying too hard to defy define logic. Yeah, I mean,

1228
01:14:00,960 --> 01:14:03,439
I talked about it on Monday, the Obafemi explanation. They

1229
01:14:03,479 --> 01:14:05,760
tried the shoehorn one in there two weeks later and

1230
01:14:05,800 --> 01:14:08,840
it just made the situation worse. And there are there

1231
01:14:08,840 --> 01:14:11,920
are still people out there who after he said that

1232
01:14:11,960 --> 01:14:15,800
on Monday, were like, oh, this is great. I don't

1233
01:14:15,800 --> 01:14:18,279
know why people are complaining. This is the perfect explanation.

1234
01:14:18,960 --> 01:14:26,239
Those are the people that WWE is catering to. Logic

1235
01:14:26,279 --> 01:14:31,680
does not come into play with these people. Deaths I says,

1236
01:14:31,680 --> 01:14:34,560
I watched Evil Dead Burn it. Let me just say,

1237
01:14:34,680 --> 01:14:37,680
if this was the meanest entry in the Evil Dead franchise,

1238
01:14:37,760 --> 01:14:40,640
then I'm expecting Evil Dead Wrath to be on crack.

1239
01:14:40,760 --> 01:14:45,840
I'm talking NC seventeen territory. Yet I never got into

1240
01:14:45,840 --> 01:14:48,279
the Evil Dead movies. I probably should. It feels like

1241
01:14:49,600 --> 01:14:51,800
something is a fan of the genre that I should have,

1242
01:14:53,159 --> 01:14:59,800
you know, been all caught up with uncause his Solother's

1243
01:14:59,840 --> 01:15:03,199
VI of Cody doing field goal kicks at Fanatics Fest.

1244
01:15:03,279 --> 01:15:05,279
Hope he doesn't quit his day job. Yeah, I noticed

1245
01:15:05,279 --> 01:15:07,399
that in the Fanatics Fest stuff that they showed on

1246
01:15:07,399 --> 01:15:10,840
the show tonight. They conveniently left that out. They didn't

1247
01:15:10,840 --> 01:15:18,640
show that. Gee, I wonder why death Side says I'll

1248
01:15:18,720 --> 01:15:22,000
use two Cannibal Corpse albums as the perfect analogies. If

1249
01:15:22,039 --> 01:15:25,039
Evil Dead Burn was butchered at birth, then I'm expecting

1250
01:15:25,079 --> 01:15:30,560
Evil Dead Raft to be Tomb of the Mutilated. I mean,

1251
01:15:31,079 --> 01:15:38,039
I'll take your word for it. I'm completely lost, but okay,

1252
01:15:38,560 --> 01:15:40,600
I'm sure that will make sense to some people. Here,

1253
01:15:43,880 --> 01:15:50,319
Eco says another SmackDown another episode Broley halfway into watching

1254
01:15:50,359 --> 01:15:53,800
Obsession and holy shit, oh wait, that's all you get

1255
01:15:53,840 --> 01:15:58,039
to the second half. Still my favorite movie of the year.

1256
01:15:58,680 --> 01:16:07,560
Fucking great Chicago for MBK, Welcome back Solo, you fucking lot.

1257
01:16:07,640 --> 01:16:14,319
There is there he is yet again. Fuck that tree.

1258
01:16:14,439 --> 01:16:21,079
Fucked that tree. Indeed, now ten out of fifteen on

1259
01:16:21,199 --> 01:16:25,840
the bonus goal and we are at four hundred and

1260
01:16:25,920 --> 01:16:33,000
sixty three likes, which means we have unlocked one round

1261
01:16:33,039 --> 01:16:37,399
of be the Booker. There you go. Hey Chicago for MBK,

1262
01:16:37,520 --> 01:16:43,199
Thank you, brother Raheem Cody a five dollars super chat.

1263
01:16:43,279 --> 01:16:45,840
What in ring couple will leave a bigger impact in

1264
01:16:45,880 --> 01:16:53,439
wrestling history? Savage and Elizabeth for Maxine and Theory and

1265
01:16:53,479 --> 01:17:02,279
can you see the similarities. I do believe that you're

1266
01:17:02,319 --> 01:17:05,680
just trying to get under my skin and it's working.

1267
01:17:10,159 --> 01:17:14,039
Dried chicken without flavor with a five dollars super cent.

1268
01:17:15,000 --> 01:17:17,800
England fans, including the wrestlers, wanted to see the World

1269
01:17:17,840 --> 01:17:21,800
Cup trophy come home, but Leah Messi from Argentina said

1270
01:17:21,800 --> 01:17:27,880
that don't work for me. Brother, Yeah, I saw well.

1271
01:17:27,920 --> 01:17:31,880
I watched Dynamite the other night and I saw Alex

1272
01:17:31,920 --> 01:17:35,079
Windsor and Jamie Hayter brought that up. They're very upset

1273
01:17:35,680 --> 01:17:42,560
that England let them down in the World Cup. Nico

1274
01:17:42,640 --> 01:17:46,600
with the two bucks, Thank you, Nico. Wish Jace won

1275
01:17:46,760 --> 01:17:49,439
the match. Yes, you and me both. That should have

1276
01:17:49,439 --> 01:17:51,760
been JC Jane getting a spot in that ladder match.

1277
01:17:51,760 --> 01:17:53,800
She doesn't have to win the ladder match, but she

1278
01:17:53,840 --> 01:17:56,880
should have been in the ladder match. Ridiculous that she's not.

1279
01:17:57,640 --> 01:18:00,439
Heart of Debonair with a ten hey solo, your top

1280
01:18:00,479 --> 01:18:05,520
five favorite finishes today and your most iconic food nishers.

1281
01:18:05,680 --> 01:18:09,920
I have no idea what that means of all times.

1282
01:18:10,199 --> 01:18:13,199
I don't know the second half. I could tell you

1283
01:18:13,279 --> 01:18:18,800
the first half, the Sharpshooter. It's not really a finish today.

1284
01:18:18,840 --> 01:18:20,439
I mean, if we're talking all time, it would be

1285
01:18:20,479 --> 01:18:31,239
on my list. In terms of today. It's tough today

1286
01:18:31,239 --> 01:18:35,520
because finishers aren't finishers today. Finishers don't actually finish matches anymore.

1287
01:18:36,880 --> 01:18:40,479
I don't have very many current favorite finishers because they

1288
01:18:40,479 --> 01:18:43,359
don't mean what they used to mean. Unfortunately, and that's

1289
01:18:43,399 --> 01:18:47,760
across the board in wrestling. They're just not protected the

1290
01:18:47,760 --> 01:18:52,399
way they used to be. I'm trying to see if

1291
01:18:52,439 --> 01:18:59,760
I had like one favorite finishing maneuver. I mean, convoluted

1292
01:18:59,800 --> 01:19:02,720
as it is, because obviously, you know, he doesn't have

1293
01:19:02,800 --> 01:19:05,439
to do the flip lip's not really adding all that

1294
01:19:05,560 --> 01:19:08,800
much to it. But the buckshot, Larry, It is not

1295
01:19:08,880 --> 01:19:12,880
an easy move to do. Hangman manages to pull it off.

1296
01:19:13,600 --> 01:19:15,399
When I see other people attempt it and it doesn't

1297
01:19:15,399 --> 01:19:17,479
look quite as smooth, it makes me appreciate him doing

1298
01:19:17,520 --> 01:19:30,640
it even more. I mean, the buckshot would be up there, man. Yeah,

1299
01:19:29,920 --> 01:19:33,600
I don't know, brother, you know what, I'll go with

1300
01:19:33,640 --> 01:19:36,800
the destroyer. I appreciate the fact that Penta is actually

1301
01:19:36,840 --> 01:19:41,560
finishing matches with the destroyer now, even if other people

1302
01:19:41,560 --> 01:19:48,159
are abusing the move. The best answer I could give

1303
01:19:48,199 --> 01:19:53,560
you is the low blow. The low blow is the

1304
01:19:53,560 --> 01:19:57,239
most powerful finishing maneuver in all of wrestling. The low

1305
01:19:57,279 --> 01:20:01,399
blow to this day continues to end more matches probably

1306
01:20:01,439 --> 01:20:04,039
than any other single move, or at least lead to

1307
01:20:04,079 --> 01:20:09,840
the finish. So the nutshot would be my answer. True

1308
01:20:09,880 --> 01:20:15,000
Crime unleash Blake Monroe is in dark matches before SmackDown. Yes,

1309
01:20:15,319 --> 01:20:18,279
and Jordan Grace is in main event matches before SmackDown?

1310
01:20:19,439 --> 01:20:26,399
What are we doing here? What are we doing? Broley

1311
01:20:27,039 --> 01:20:30,520
just finished Obsession And what a great fucking movie. Indy

1312
01:20:30,680 --> 01:20:32,479
is a hell of an actor. Went from having a

1313
01:20:32,520 --> 01:20:36,359
crush on her to being scared of her. She's terrifying

1314
01:20:36,399 --> 01:20:44,640
in that movie. She is terrifying in that movie. EJ.

1315
01:20:44,760 --> 01:20:49,760
Slimp says a hot take. Even with full WCW and

1316
01:20:49,880 --> 01:20:53,319
ww F rosters, the Invasion would have still sucked. Most

1317
01:20:53,359 --> 01:20:57,840
invasion angles do, except CZW against ROH. What are your thoughts? No?

1318
01:20:58,159 --> 01:21:00,399
I mean, if the invasion angle was done proper, really,

1319
01:21:01,680 --> 01:21:07,119
with the adequate number of big names involved, it absolutely

1320
01:21:07,119 --> 01:21:10,319
could have been successful. The idea was to actually split

1321
01:21:10,479 --> 01:21:13,840
WCW off as its own brand long term. Would it

1322
01:21:13,840 --> 01:21:15,920
have worked. I don't know. I think you could have

1323
01:21:15,920 --> 01:21:18,439
done it long enough at least to get to a

1324
01:21:18,479 --> 01:21:23,279
true WrestleMania esque supercard. Even if you just did it

1325
01:21:23,359 --> 01:21:26,520
once and not every year, you could have built something

1326
01:21:26,600 --> 01:21:28,439
like that over a period of a year or two.

1327
01:21:29,640 --> 01:21:31,600
It absolutely could have. It could have worked. I mean,

1328
01:21:31,600 --> 01:21:36,439
the odds were against it, but it absolutely could have worked.

1329
01:21:37,720 --> 01:21:42,479
Venom Ktetsu taking a very extended birthday weekend, plan on

1330
01:21:42,520 --> 01:21:46,760
catching all the Solo Mooster content during this time. Here's

1331
01:21:46,880 --> 01:21:49,880
to your Internet staying alive in my power staying on.

1332
01:21:50,439 --> 01:21:53,279
We had an outage today and one last week. Well

1333
01:21:53,279 --> 01:21:57,000
that sucks, especially in the heat. Yeah, that's that's what

1334
01:21:57,039 --> 01:21:59,840
people thought happened to me the other night. They're like, oh, yeah,

1335
01:22:00,399 --> 01:22:02,119
power went out, all right, because the weather has been

1336
01:22:02,199 --> 01:22:06,560
kind of crazy. Nope. I kind of wish it was

1337
01:22:06,560 --> 01:22:08,520
the power that went out, because then the power comes

1338
01:22:08,560 --> 01:22:10,720
back on and everything goes back to normal. But instead

1339
01:22:10,720 --> 01:22:13,800
I had to deal with this bullshit this week and

1340
01:22:13,840 --> 01:22:19,239
it's still not working. But it's all good because I'm

1341
01:22:19,319 --> 01:22:23,600
hard wired in now. I got a wire across my

1342
01:22:23,640 --> 01:22:26,640
f I gotta make sure I don't trip over the wire,

1343
01:22:26,720 --> 01:22:28,880
but I got a wire, so we took care of that. Again.

1344
01:22:28,920 --> 01:22:32,159
It's the Bluetooth now that is completely vanished from my

1345
01:22:32,960 --> 01:22:38,479
system here and has rendered me unable to use my

1346
01:22:38,560 --> 01:22:41,680
PS five controller for any sort of sound of gamer

1347
01:22:41,800 --> 01:22:46,119
content that I had on the agenda. Until I can

1348
01:22:46,199 --> 01:22:49,000
get that resolved, I'm unable to I have all these

1349
01:22:49,079 --> 01:22:52,479
games I actually paid for in Steam, I haven't installed

1350
01:22:52,479 --> 01:22:54,560
them yet there, they're sitting there, they're paid for, and

1351
01:22:54,600 --> 01:22:57,680
now I can't even do anything with them. I'm like,

1352
01:22:57,720 --> 01:23:02,840
that's great, that's just great. That's just great. But anyway,

1353
01:23:03,640 --> 01:23:07,520
happy birthday, Venom Katatsu. I hope you have a birthday

1354
01:23:07,520 --> 01:23:11,239
that was much better than my week. All the fun.

1355
01:23:12,279 --> 01:23:14,479
I wish you all the fun, and hopefully I don't

1356
01:23:14,479 --> 01:23:16,439
know where you are, but hopefully you're not choking on

1357
01:23:16,479 --> 01:23:22,600
this wildfire smoke we are choking on here. It's weird,

1358
01:23:22,680 --> 01:23:26,000
Like I came out of the story yesterday and it's

1359
01:23:26,119 --> 01:23:36,439
just this like orange haze, Like what what is this? Yeah?

1360
01:23:36,479 --> 01:23:39,319
I mean technically, I guess I could try to wire

1361
01:23:39,359 --> 01:23:41,640
the controller, but I'm all tapped out on ports. Well,

1362
01:23:41,680 --> 01:23:46,560
we'll see. It's not ideal, though I have a fucking wire.

1363
01:23:48,960 --> 01:23:55,720
Got enough wires. Shouldn't have to do that, though, Dude,

1364
01:23:55,720 --> 01:24:00,039
that's the whole point. I had the capability to do

1365
01:24:00,199 --> 01:24:02,760
without a wire before. Why all of a sudden would

1366
01:24:02,760 --> 01:24:04,359
I have to use a wire? No one, I can't

1367
01:24:04,399 --> 01:24:06,239
seem to find an answer to this question. I can't

1368
01:24:06,239 --> 01:24:08,159
seem to find a solution to this problem, and this

1369
01:24:08,199 --> 01:24:16,520
is really annoying me. There's no reason for this. A

1370
01:24:16,720 --> 01:24:21,079
heart of Debonair says, Hey, solo after WWE unreal. Do

1371
01:24:21,119 --> 01:24:24,000
you think keeping many of Vince's creative team is why

1372
01:24:24,159 --> 01:24:28,479
WWE still feels repetitive? Should creative be led by former

1373
01:24:28,520 --> 01:24:31,880
wrestlers instead of TV writers? And does AW rely more

1374
01:24:31,920 --> 01:24:35,479
on wrestlers? I feel like there is more of an

1375
01:24:35,479 --> 01:24:38,479
ex wrestler influence maybe, but Tony Kahan is still the

1376
01:24:38,479 --> 01:24:41,039
one who ultimately makes all the ideas and writes all

1377
01:24:41,159 --> 01:24:47,760
the shows. There's not I mean, it's a collaboration based

1378
01:24:47,800 --> 01:24:50,479
on what he has said, but it still comes down

1379
01:24:50,520 --> 01:24:52,319
to him very much in the way that before it

1380
01:24:52,359 --> 01:24:56,119
came down to Vince, where it's like one truly one

1381
01:24:56,199 --> 01:25:00,640
man's vision. I think you definitely have some old hats

1382
01:25:01,119 --> 01:25:07,399
who still work for WWE, who you know should not

1383
01:25:08,760 --> 01:25:11,520
have as much influence on the creative process as they

1384
01:25:11,560 --> 01:25:13,199
have in the past. Then you should get some new

1385
01:25:13,279 --> 01:25:15,600
voices in the room. The thing you got to be

1386
01:25:15,640 --> 01:25:17,560
careful with is there are a lot of wrestlers who

1387
01:25:17,680 --> 01:25:21,520
have really terrible fucking ideas, and so just because you're

1388
01:25:21,520 --> 01:25:23,239
an ex wrestler does not mean that you are fit

1389
01:25:23,319 --> 01:25:27,760
to be on the creative team. So if you could

1390
01:25:27,800 --> 01:25:31,439
find former wrestlers that that's great. I think that's terrific,

1391
01:25:32,399 --> 01:25:34,279
but they have to have an aptitude for it. They

1392
01:25:34,319 --> 01:25:38,199
have to have, you know, a creative eye to do

1393
01:25:38,279 --> 01:25:43,319
that job, and a lot of these guys don't. Because

1394
01:25:43,359 --> 01:25:45,439
there have been stories about wrestlers that have come up

1395
01:25:45,439 --> 01:25:51,279
with ideas or pitched ideas, and or even on podcasts

1396
01:25:51,279 --> 01:25:53,800
have talked about ideas they've had for their own characters,

1397
01:25:53,800 --> 01:25:56,119
and I'm like, Eh, thank god that guy didn't get

1398
01:25:56,119 --> 01:25:58,920
that idea through. Do you really want that on the

1399
01:25:58,920 --> 01:26:02,119
creative team? Hopefully they have a good way of like

1400
01:26:02,159 --> 01:26:09,439
weeding those out. Death Size says when Sammy and Gunther lose,

1401
01:26:09,520 --> 01:26:12,159
it's Saturday night's main event. What if Sammy somehow becomes

1402
01:26:12,159 --> 01:26:16,439
the special guest referee between Punk and Cody, you can say,

1403
01:26:16,439 --> 01:26:18,920
I'm calling it down the middle, but whoever wins, I'm

1404
01:26:18,960 --> 01:26:22,079
next in line. I wouldn't mind him being the referee.

1405
01:26:23,359 --> 01:26:24,640
But then I think you may end up with a

1406
01:26:24,640 --> 01:26:28,439
situation where we don't get a winner. It could give

1407
01:26:28,439 --> 01:26:30,720
them a cop out reason to not give us a winner.

1408
01:26:32,159 --> 01:26:34,479
That would be my only fear, and what a lame

1409
01:26:34,760 --> 01:26:38,960
ending that would be. But yeah, you know what that

1410
01:26:39,119 --> 01:26:40,840
honestly that might be the role that makes the most

1411
01:26:40,840 --> 01:26:43,079
sense for him is to let him be the referee.

1412
01:26:43,079 --> 01:26:45,000
It's a retread of what we already saw because he

1413
01:26:45,079 --> 01:26:48,680
was already a referee, but it might be the only

1414
01:26:48,760 --> 01:26:52,800
role for him on the entire show anyway. Heart of

1415
01:26:52,800 --> 01:26:59,800
Debonair with a five is Macho Man underrated? Underrated feels

1416
01:26:59,800 --> 01:27:02,439
like he's never in the same conversation as Hogan, Austin

1417
01:27:02,560 --> 01:27:08,119
Flair Rock is either triple h or seth rawlins of

1418
01:27:08,159 --> 01:27:16,600
his era. I can't I get what you mean by that. Yeah,

1419
01:27:16,640 --> 01:27:19,079
he's never in the conversation when it comes to like

1420
01:27:19,119 --> 01:27:27,840
the Mount rushmore like business wise, most influential names in

1421
01:27:27,880 --> 01:27:32,520
wrestling history like a Hogan or an Austin Sena would

1422
01:27:32,560 --> 01:27:36,439
be a more modern example. He didn't have the kind

1423
01:27:36,439 --> 01:27:40,159
of effect on business that those guys did. Believe me,

1424
01:27:40,199 --> 01:27:45,600
he sold plenty of tickets in his day. Influential. You

1425
01:27:45,640 --> 01:27:49,479
can't say that Randy Savage is not influential. You still

1426
01:27:49,479 --> 01:27:51,359
have people to this day who love dressing up as

1427
01:27:51,359 --> 01:27:55,399
Macho Man. Might have been people who weren't even alive

1428
01:27:55,600 --> 01:27:59,560
when Savage was in his prime, So he's definitely had

1429
01:27:59,600 --> 01:28:02,560
an influen. Was a great wrestler. He had great matches,

1430
01:28:04,159 --> 01:28:10,199
you know, is often emulated, but he's just not. He's

1431
01:28:10,279 --> 01:28:13,479
kind of a level below just because he just wasn't

1432
01:28:14,439 --> 01:28:18,439
that type of like megastar in the way that some

1433
01:28:18,479 --> 01:28:23,560
of those guys were. Like if you were to say, okay,

1434
01:28:23,640 --> 01:28:28,279
if you're Vince McMahon at that time, late eighties, let's say,

1435
01:28:29,319 --> 01:28:32,680
and you can only pick one who's going to be

1436
01:28:32,720 --> 01:28:34,359
the guy that you're going to rely upon to be

1437
01:28:34,399 --> 01:28:37,159
your top star and sell tickets. Are you going with

1438
01:28:37,239 --> 01:28:40,920
Hogan or are you going with Savage? He's going with Hogan,

1439
01:28:41,720 --> 01:28:45,039
And most promoters probably would have gone with Hulk Hogan

1440
01:28:46,520 --> 01:28:48,720
because he was just the bigger star now he was

1441
01:28:48,760 --> 01:28:52,399
given that platform. If Savage was given that platform, would

1442
01:28:52,399 --> 01:28:56,239
he have gotten as big as Hogan? Maybe, but I'm

1443
01:28:56,279 --> 01:29:00,359
not convinced he would have. You know, he had orrisma

1444
01:29:00,479 --> 01:29:11,199
like Hogan did, but Hogan it was different. But Savage

1445
01:29:11,279 --> 01:29:14,199
is one of my I mean, Savage and Bratt those

1446
01:29:14,199 --> 01:29:18,119
are my guys, right. There can't go wrong with Randy Savage,

1447
01:29:18,800 --> 01:29:21,760
Ossie of Steel. Two things. Number One, the interim title

1448
01:29:22,159 --> 01:29:25,359
situation is stupid and unnecessary. Number Two, I hate how

1449
01:29:25,439 --> 01:29:28,439
much they've cooled off Fatal Influence after the run that

1450
01:29:28,439 --> 01:29:31,239
they had last year. Yeah, I don't like it either,

1451
01:29:36,960 --> 01:29:38,520
but they have a knack for doing that. They have

1452
01:29:38,560 --> 01:29:42,920
a knack for cooling off talent. Fatal Influence are not

1453
01:29:42,960 --> 01:29:45,479
the only ones they've done this with. They did it

1454
01:29:45,520 --> 01:29:47,880
with Bron, They've done it with Fatu, They've done it

1455
01:29:47,920 --> 01:29:54,960
with plenty of other people. Death Side. I feel your pain, Solo.

1456
01:29:55,039 --> 01:29:57,319
Last time my WiFi went down, I almost threw my

1457
01:29:57,439 --> 01:30:02,039
fucking box into a blender, into an incinerator and then

1458
01:30:02,359 --> 01:30:06,399
nuked it several times until this earth turns to ash.

1459
01:30:07,000 --> 01:30:11,479
That's kind of how I felt this week again when

1460
01:30:11,479 --> 01:30:13,439
I say Wi Fi, it's not the network, it's the

1461
01:30:13,479 --> 01:30:20,359
actual Wi Fi card. Something happened and it was replaced,

1462
01:30:20,399 --> 01:30:26,199
and then it happened again, which again is just very

1463
01:30:26,319 --> 01:30:30,319
very bizarre to me. And then to make it even worse,

1464
01:30:31,560 --> 01:30:35,720
I get it back. Oh yeah, yeah, we put the

1465
01:30:35,720 --> 01:30:38,520
new card on there and everything, and now the thing

1466
01:30:38,600 --> 01:30:43,560
it's it's overheating, like to where it's hot to the touch.

1467
01:30:43,600 --> 01:30:46,039
I'm trying to type stuff, it's hot to the touch.

1468
01:30:46,800 --> 01:30:51,159
And I run, you know, a diagnostic test, and it's

1469
01:30:51,199 --> 01:30:54,199
coming back and it's different temperature readings for different cores.

1470
01:30:54,279 --> 01:30:56,880
You know, you have your main CPU temperature reading and

1471
01:30:56,920 --> 01:30:59,960
then you have your GPU temperature reading. The CPU temperature reading,

1472
01:31:02,399 --> 01:31:05,119
and I posted somewhere and I got yelled at because

1473
01:31:05,159 --> 01:31:09,039
I posted it in fahrenheits fucked me. I know, got

1474
01:31:09,039 --> 01:31:14,880
to post it in Celsius. But in Fahrenheit, the CPU

1475
01:31:15,000 --> 01:31:18,399
was up to I believe, I want to say it

1476
01:31:18,520 --> 01:31:22,359
was one hundred and ninety four degrees fahrenheit and the

1477
01:31:22,439 --> 01:31:28,159
GPU was at one hundred and ninety nine degrees fahrenheit.

1478
01:31:29,399 --> 01:31:33,079
So what is that in the seventies celsius. That's not normal.

1479
01:31:33,640 --> 01:31:37,319
I'm like, what happened? I got my computer bag with

1480
01:31:37,359 --> 01:31:40,880
a brand new WiFi card. Now it's overheating. So I

1481
01:31:40,880 --> 01:31:43,600
went into the power management settings and you know, it's

1482
01:31:43,640 --> 01:31:47,159
max it's maxed at one hundred percent in terms of

1483
01:31:47,199 --> 01:31:52,000
like process management power, and I lowered it. I lowered

1484
01:31:52,039 --> 01:31:55,159
it to ninety nine. As soon as I lowered it

1485
01:31:55,159 --> 01:32:01,239
to ninety nine percent, the fans instantly got quiet. Cool.

1486
01:32:01,239 --> 01:32:04,399
I swear to god, it cool to thirty degrees. I'm like,

1487
01:32:04,479 --> 01:32:08,079
holy shit, but you got to watch because if you

1488
01:32:08,199 --> 01:32:11,279
do that even one percent, now you're sacrificing processing power.

1489
01:32:11,279 --> 01:32:15,239
But this thing is a beast. So it's been it's

1490
01:32:15,279 --> 01:32:18,199
been okay, even at ninety nine percent. It's amazing just

1491
01:32:18,239 --> 01:32:20,680
that one little change and how things came down by

1492
01:32:20,760 --> 01:32:24,680
so many degrees. I don't know what they did. If

1493
01:32:25,439 --> 01:32:29,840
it's been a mess, it's just been a mess, totally,

1494
01:32:29,960 --> 01:32:35,239
just totally stressed out this week, totally stressed out this week.

1495
01:32:37,000 --> 01:32:39,800
But we're trying, man, We're trying to soldier through it

1496
01:32:39,840 --> 01:32:43,479
and you know, keep doing all the shows. I'm way

1497
01:32:43,520 --> 01:32:46,640
behind now because I lost two days to this shit,

1498
01:32:47,760 --> 01:32:52,199
two days that I needed. I only first got done

1499
01:32:52,239 --> 01:32:54,319
watching The Dark Side of the Ring this morning. I

1500
01:32:54,319 --> 01:32:56,319
haven't even put anything together for I don't know what

1501
01:32:56,359 --> 01:32:58,479
I'm going to do with that, but I'm trying to

1502
01:32:58,479 --> 01:33:01,640
figure it out as we go, So we'll figure it out.

1503
01:33:03,239 --> 01:33:04,920
I don't know what happened, but we'll figure it out.

1504
01:33:04,960 --> 01:33:08,319
Venom Kotetsu, I know it's wrestling, but we are supposed

1505
01:33:08,359 --> 01:33:11,359
to buy that Johnny is being dragged through airport customs

1506
01:33:11,439 --> 01:33:15,880
or being loaded into a car to get from show

1507
01:33:15,920 --> 01:33:25,640
to show. Yeah, you're supposed to just sh supposed to

1508
01:33:25,680 --> 01:33:28,079
be quiet. Well, I mean it's the same thing with

1509
01:33:28,159 --> 01:33:30,640
Dan housen. Are we supposed to believe that he drags

1510
01:33:30,680 --> 01:33:42,800
his laboratory everywhere he goes. Once you're breaking ninety c,

1511
01:33:43,079 --> 01:33:47,640
you're in trouble, dude. I'm telling you, well, I don't

1512
01:33:47,680 --> 01:33:51,359
know if it was ninety c, although I guess if that,

1513
01:33:51,560 --> 01:33:55,359
what would the equivalent be of ninety CX? I flipped

1514
01:33:55,359 --> 01:33:58,039
over to fahrenheit and it was pretty much right around

1515
01:33:58,039 --> 01:34:02,760
two hundred degrees fahrenheit. I opened the core temps at

1516
01:34:02,800 --> 01:34:05,680
the core temp app and my guy, the the alerts

1517
01:34:05,760 --> 01:34:11,119
were pop it off, the alert the critical warnings were

1518
01:34:11,159 --> 01:34:13,920
pop it off for like core one, two, three, four

1519
01:34:13,960 --> 01:34:18,279
or five six. It's like a power plant, you know

1520
01:34:18,399 --> 01:34:22,520
where like we lost we lost this one, we lost

1521
01:34:22,560 --> 01:34:25,079
that one, and they're just going out one by one.

1522
01:34:25,520 --> 01:34:28,600
I'm like, what is going on here? This wasn't happening before.

1523
01:34:31,920 --> 01:34:33,840
What did they do? What did they touch when they

1524
01:34:33,840 --> 01:34:45,600
opened it up? It's not a desktop. It's not a desktop.

1525
01:34:46,439 --> 01:34:48,880
I actually had a thermal paste applied like a year

1526
01:34:48,920 --> 01:34:51,840
and a half ago. They were like, oh, okay, well

1527
01:34:51,840 --> 01:34:54,680
then we won't bother because it's probably not that so

1528
01:34:57,840 --> 01:35:02,560
Joseph Brooks. Let's say the Rocks contract in five doesn't

1529
01:35:02,600 --> 01:35:06,119
expire and the Rock does commit fully to Hollywood. Yet

1530
01:35:07,119 --> 01:35:09,720
I think he means doesn't commit. Do you think he

1531
01:35:09,720 --> 01:35:19,399
could have gotten Sting in WWE earlier? Probably if he

1532
01:35:19,479 --> 01:35:21,319
really wanted to work with him and he sent feelers

1533
01:35:21,359 --> 01:35:24,359
out to him. I think he probably could have lured

1534
01:35:24,439 --> 01:35:28,359
him over a lot sooner because he probably would have

1535
01:35:28,439 --> 01:35:29,840
wanted to. He probably would have made it like his

1536
01:35:29,880 --> 01:35:33,479
own personal pet project, you know, to want to work

1537
01:35:33,479 --> 01:35:35,760
with him. Then he might have been able to get

1538
01:35:35,800 --> 01:35:49,840
him in earlier. Senor Kavanaugh says, I skipped sixty four

1539
01:35:49,920 --> 01:35:55,560
percent of the show tonight, bro hashtag boring. Really, I

1540
01:35:55,640 --> 01:35:58,399
would have thought you would have skipped like sixty eight.

1541
01:36:00,760 --> 01:36:03,920
Joseph says. Obafemi is everything Ahmed Johnson could have been

1542
01:36:03,960 --> 01:36:07,000
if he could wrestle and actually speak English. Did Ahmed

1543
01:36:07,079 --> 01:36:10,079
do anything good in wrestling? Yes? He did. He left

1544
01:36:11,640 --> 01:36:16,560
uh Bucky freaking Dent. What's your favorite Howie Rose call?

1545
01:36:16,760 --> 01:36:20,119
Mine is when he called Stefan Metteo's game winning goal

1546
01:36:20,159 --> 01:36:24,039
against the Devils in the nineteen ninety four Eastern Conference Final.

1547
01:36:24,520 --> 01:36:27,479
I actually don't have a specific Howie Rose call. I

1548
01:36:27,560 --> 01:36:29,199
just I like how he rose, and I think he's

1549
01:36:29,199 --> 01:36:32,520
a great broadcaster, but I was never really listening to

1550
01:36:32,560 --> 01:36:35,439
his radio calls. I was always watching, you know, on TV.

1551
01:36:38,359 --> 01:36:42,399
So I don't think I have one specific call that

1552
01:36:42,439 --> 01:36:50,800
I could really point to. Good timing on the music.

1553
01:36:50,840 --> 01:36:55,079
When Solo mentioned Signor's super chat, that was just a coincidence.

1554
01:36:56,680 --> 01:36:58,640
I didn't even notice it until you just brought it up.

1555
01:37:00,039 --> 01:37:04,479
Send you your Kavanaugh, Aaron Solo, quick question, when does

1556
01:37:04,520 --> 01:37:07,640
Monks close tonight? As always, thanks for what you do

1557
01:37:07,880 --> 01:37:12,600
for the Solo Maniacs. Much love. Monks is open all

1558
01:37:12,720 --> 01:37:23,760
night long, Brother, all night long, Alexander. One day we

1559
01:37:23,800 --> 01:37:26,319
will get an episode of Raw or smack Down with

1560
01:37:26,319 --> 01:37:31,359
no matches, just angles and promos. Oh, it's it's coming.

1561
01:37:34,319 --> 01:37:41,199
It would be like a Vince McMahon wet dream or

1562
01:37:41,319 --> 01:37:43,800
switch to MacBook for a laptom. Yeah, you know what. Well,

1563
01:37:43,800 --> 01:37:48,000
here's the thing. There was a period of time where

1564
01:37:49,119 --> 01:37:52,520
I would travel more with the laptop. Now, I mean

1565
01:37:52,560 --> 01:37:56,079
obviously use it as a desktop, but I still have

1566
01:37:56,199 --> 01:37:59,279
this machine because certainly at the time I got it,

1567
01:37:59,319 --> 01:38:01,479
I was like, I want it as specked out as possible,

1568
01:38:01,560 --> 01:38:04,960
because you know, running obs and doing some video editing stuff.

1569
01:38:05,000 --> 01:38:07,399
I wanted to make sure, it had all of the

1570
01:38:07,439 --> 01:38:10,399
power that it needed. But I went with the gaming laptop,

1571
01:38:10,439 --> 01:38:13,119
even though I rarely did gaming, because the gaming laptops

1572
01:38:13,119 --> 01:38:19,039
had good specs. So even even now after you know,

1573
01:38:19,119 --> 01:38:23,279
all these years, it's still specs are really good, you know,

1574
01:38:23,359 --> 01:38:27,000
and still got a lot of storage, you know, on

1575
01:38:27,039 --> 01:38:31,560
the hard drive and everything. It's just to junk it

1576
01:38:31,720 --> 01:38:34,720
over such a stupid random thing just doesn't make sense

1577
01:38:34,760 --> 01:38:39,439
to me. You know. If I had more space to

1578
01:38:39,520 --> 01:38:42,720
deal with, believe me, there would be a very different

1579
01:38:42,960 --> 01:38:45,880
desktop set up here. But I've given thoughts to like

1580
01:38:46,760 --> 01:38:49,720
I've been, I've been a Windows guy. It's kind of

1581
01:38:49,720 --> 01:38:52,680
weird because like with the uh, the phone and the

1582
01:38:52,720 --> 01:38:55,960
tablet and the watch, it's all Apple stuff. But I've

1583
01:38:55,960 --> 01:38:58,399
never had a Mac. Never had a Mac or a MacBook.

1584
01:38:58,439 --> 01:39:01,439
I've never had mac os or anything like that. I

1585
01:39:01,520 --> 01:39:02,920
don't know if it would be too steep of a

1586
01:39:03,000 --> 01:39:05,399
learning curve, you know, there's certain things I need to

1587
01:39:05,399 --> 01:39:10,680
be able to use, and and you know, do I

1588
01:39:10,760 --> 01:39:13,560
don't know. I've thought about it, you know, I've thought

1589
01:39:13,560 --> 01:39:16,000
about it. Just fuck Windows. Maybe I'll just go Mac.

1590
01:39:19,680 --> 01:39:24,680
You know, they've got these these Mac desktops. Max Studio

1591
01:39:24,760 --> 01:39:31,479
whatever it is. I don't know. I don't know. I'm

1592
01:39:31,479 --> 01:39:36,800
certainly open to uh too, feedback for those who have

1593
01:39:36,960 --> 01:39:39,119
used it or have it, and uh and what you

1594
01:39:39,159 --> 01:39:46,439
guys think. I wonder if I wonder if a lot

1595
01:39:46,439 --> 01:39:49,680
of those games that I have purchased and saved in

1596
01:39:49,840 --> 01:39:52,840
the steam would even work on a MAC. I know

1597
01:39:52,960 --> 01:39:55,640
certain ones wouldn't. Some would, but some of them wouldn't.

1598
01:40:00,640 --> 01:40:04,359
Alexander says, uh, oh, Alexander, I read your was rock Hawk.

1599
01:40:05,119 --> 01:40:08,319
That was the next one. This Gargano laray stuff reminds

1600
01:40:08,319 --> 01:40:11,600
me of Johnny two by four from the ed Ed

1601
01:40:11,720 --> 01:40:22,680
and Eddie cartoon. Johnny two by four, don't do mac.

1602
01:40:22,800 --> 01:40:26,840
If something breaks, the whole thing is dead. Geez. For

1603
01:40:26,920 --> 01:40:30,760
the prices they charge, it shouldn't be. Price as they

1604
01:40:30,880 --> 01:40:39,319
charge are insane, insane. EJ. Slim says, wouldn't surprise me

1605
01:40:39,399 --> 01:40:42,119
if mis took the pay cut that New Day and

1606
01:40:42,199 --> 01:40:45,039
Seamus refuse. He's too willing to be the company guy

1607
01:40:45,039 --> 01:40:50,239
and do pr I don't respect that. Yeah, I wouldn't

1608
01:40:50,279 --> 01:40:52,600
be surprised if he was one of those who was

1609
01:40:52,600 --> 01:40:54,720
offered and he took it. And look, I don't fault

1610
01:40:54,800 --> 01:40:57,159
him for it because I'm sure, whatever, Let's just say

1611
01:40:57,239 --> 01:41:01,079
hypothetically he did if he even if he was making

1612
01:41:01,159 --> 01:41:04,600
forty or fifty percent less, he's probably still making really

1613
01:41:04,600 --> 01:41:07,479
good money, you know what I mean. And he's always

1614
01:41:07,479 --> 01:41:09,279
been willing to go out and do whatever they want

1615
01:41:09,359 --> 01:41:12,319
him to do. He's a very valuable asset for them.

1616
01:41:12,359 --> 01:41:16,399
Even if he's never on TV these days or rarely

1617
01:41:16,439 --> 01:41:20,680
on TV. I wouldn't be surprised, but I'm not going

1618
01:41:20,760 --> 01:41:26,880
to fault him for it. Jeremy Rose TKO making their

1619
01:41:26,920 --> 01:41:33,960
presence felt with the interim title. Yeah, it's very annoying.

1620
01:41:38,520 --> 01:41:40,720
I have a Mac for work. It's great. I would

1621
01:41:40,800 --> 01:41:43,520
never have it for my main computer. But anyone's saying

1622
01:41:43,560 --> 01:41:45,319
Mac isn't great, Well, that's the thing. It would be

1623
01:41:45,359 --> 01:41:50,880
my main computer, so it would most definitely it would

1624
01:41:50,880 --> 01:41:54,640
be my It would be my everything. Really, it would

1625
01:41:54,640 --> 01:42:01,600
be my primary workstation for everything obs streaming, video editing,

1626
01:42:02,600 --> 01:42:11,560
some light graphics work, word processing, some light gaming. B

1627
01:42:11,720 --> 01:42:14,039
Man the Champ. I'm glad they gave the tag match

1628
01:42:14,079 --> 01:42:16,760
some stakes instead of have a tag team match, just

1629
01:42:16,840 --> 01:42:19,880
because now I'm actually intrigued. I thought it was a

1630
01:42:19,920 --> 01:42:24,640
good idea to put that stipulation in there, so I

1631
01:42:24,680 --> 01:42:27,600
mean that I liked. Bobby means my birthday is Sunday,

1632
01:42:27,680 --> 01:42:29,880
so if you all would wish me a happy birthday,

1633
01:42:29,880 --> 01:42:32,720
Happy Birthday Bobby means everybody in the chat wish Bobby

1634
01:42:32,760 --> 01:42:38,239
a happy birthday and throw up those cake emojis. EJ.

1635
01:42:38,399 --> 01:42:46,159
Slimp says, how old were you during the OJ chase

1636
01:42:46,439 --> 01:42:52,399
slash trial? Do you remember it? Ten years since the

1637
01:42:52,640 --> 01:42:56,079
ESPN doc and FX series rewatch both of them this week.

1638
01:42:56,279 --> 01:43:00,399
The documentary is better. I will just say that, yes,

1639
01:43:00,439 --> 01:43:06,039
I do remember it. I'm pretty sure that the chase

1640
01:43:06,119 --> 01:43:09,079
happened during one of the NBA Finals games between the

1641
01:43:09,159 --> 01:43:13,399
Knicks and the Rockets, and I remember watching that live

1642
01:43:13,439 --> 01:43:17,079
and they had a split screen so that I remember.

1643
01:43:19,720 --> 01:43:22,119
Jeremy Rose says, since we all know Ria is winning

1644
01:43:22,239 --> 01:43:24,159
back the title, oh, they need to pick the Sammy

1645
01:43:24,279 --> 01:43:27,000
z Ain version in the women's division and have her

1646
01:43:27,039 --> 01:43:29,800
win the title to drop it to Ria the first SmackDown.

1647
01:43:30,239 --> 01:43:34,800
I mean raw that she's healthy. Well, I mean, on

1648
01:43:34,840 --> 01:43:36,960
that note, who would you say would be the Sammy

1649
01:43:37,079 --> 01:43:42,319
z Ain of the women's division on SmackDown? And would

1650
01:43:42,359 --> 01:43:46,239
that be considered a compliment or an insult? I'm not

1651
01:43:46,319 --> 01:43:48,960
sure who would be the Sami Zain of the women's division.

1652
01:43:49,279 --> 01:43:55,279
Is there a samise Ain of the women's division? Who

1653
01:43:55,279 --> 01:44:04,359
would that person be? Retro Kh Since you love horror,

1654
01:44:05,119 --> 01:44:09,680
did you ever see pontypool. It's a mind fuck where

1655
01:44:09,680 --> 01:44:17,039
the literal English language is the killer, so unlike social media,

1656
01:44:17,159 --> 01:44:22,640
where the literal English language is killed on an everyday basis.

1657
01:44:24,560 --> 01:44:28,520
I've not seen pontypool. I've not heard of pontypool. I

1658
01:44:28,600 --> 01:44:31,279
like saying that word, though, because it sounds kind of funny. Pontypool.

1659
01:44:31,840 --> 01:44:34,399
I don't know what it means. I haven't seen it.

1660
01:44:37,319 --> 01:44:41,239
Be man the chant. Traditional match idea Traditional Survivor Series

1661
01:44:41,520 --> 01:44:46,319
Gauntlet elimination match. Two guys start team members on outside

1662
01:44:46,319 --> 01:44:51,720
of the ring like lumberjack, no tags allowed. Once someone

1663
01:44:51,760 --> 01:45:00,319
has eliminated, their teammate takes their place. Interesting and you

1664
01:45:00,319 --> 01:45:03,000
would have to decide which teammate do They decide by

1665
01:45:03,079 --> 01:45:09,720
coin flip, rock, paper scissors. I don't hate it. It's

1666
01:45:09,800 --> 01:45:16,479
kind of an interesting spin on an old idea. Omber

1667
01:45:16,520 --> 01:45:19,680
twelve out of fifteen on the bonus goal, we're close.

1668
01:45:19,720 --> 01:45:21,840
We're not there, but we're close. Nick Grosso of the

1669
01:45:21,880 --> 01:45:24,239
nineteen ninety nine I think Fallon Henley has the potential

1670
01:45:24,319 --> 01:45:27,560
to be the breakout star from Fatal Influence. Also, if

1671
01:45:27,560 --> 01:45:29,720
you haven't seen her interview with Cody, check it out.

1672
01:45:30,720 --> 01:45:33,439
I like her even more hearing about raising her nieces

1673
01:45:33,520 --> 01:45:37,119
after her sister passed away. I saw part of the interview.

1674
01:45:37,159 --> 01:45:40,039
I didn't see the entire thing. I mean, obviously the

1675
01:45:40,079 --> 01:45:42,520
story that Cody shared, which was very shitty of him

1676
01:45:42,560 --> 01:45:47,640
to do about Aaron Solo, got a lot of play,

1677
01:45:49,279 --> 01:45:50,960
but from what I saw from the rest of it,

1678
01:45:50,960 --> 01:45:54,880
it was very good. I if you remember on the

1679
01:45:54,920 --> 01:45:59,319
sound off in the last few years when I was

1680
01:45:59,359 --> 01:46:03,520
still paying more attention to NXT, I was putting over

1681
01:46:03,560 --> 01:46:05,399
Fallon Henley and saying I thought she could be a

1682
01:46:05,399 --> 01:46:09,039
breakout star, and I thought that if they were gonna

1683
01:46:09,039 --> 01:46:12,039
put the championship on anybody. That's why I was shocked

1684
01:46:12,039 --> 01:46:15,760
when they had Stephanie Vicaire lose to j C. Jane.

1685
01:46:15,880 --> 01:46:19,079
You know, in that night, I remember we were doing TNT,

1686
01:46:19,920 --> 01:46:23,720
and it's obviously we do TNT on Tuesday nights. I

1687
01:46:23,760 --> 01:46:27,239
wasn't watching NXT that night, and there's people in the

1688
01:46:27,319 --> 01:46:29,800
chat that are mentioning, you know what happened on the show,

1689
01:46:29,840 --> 01:46:35,279
and I'm like j C. Jane beat Stephanie Vicaire and

1690
01:46:35,359 --> 01:46:37,279
is the new champion. I was like, I was blown

1691
01:46:37,319 --> 01:46:41,000
away by this. If anything, I would have thought it

1692
01:46:41,000 --> 01:46:43,840
would be Fallen Henley who would be in that spot,

1693
01:46:44,039 --> 01:46:49,159
and JC, to her credit, has really grown into that role. Fallon, though,

1694
01:46:49,239 --> 01:46:52,359
still has the potential I think to be a women's champion.

1695
01:46:53,680 --> 01:46:56,359
Lady Reid, I haven't seen as much of her. From

1696
01:46:56,359 --> 01:46:59,079
what I've seen of her, she's fine. I just haven't

1697
01:46:59,079 --> 01:47:01,319
seen enough of her to form an opinion on whether

1698
01:47:01,399 --> 01:47:04,960
or not she has that same potential. But I definitely

1699
01:47:05,000 --> 01:47:11,159
think Fallon does. Bucky Freaking Den, Jets and Mets fans

1700
01:47:11,199 --> 01:47:13,319
will one day have a great year, just like in

1701
01:47:13,439 --> 01:47:18,720
nineteen sixty nine. You gotta believe the Mets and Jets

1702
01:47:18,760 --> 01:47:22,920
and all the rest. So what's gonna happen? First, the

1703
01:47:23,319 --> 01:47:25,359
Mets and Jets are gonna win a championship in the

1704
01:47:25,359 --> 01:47:30,399
same year, or La Knight is going to win any

1705
01:47:30,439 --> 01:47:33,840
world championship. I think there actually might be a chance

1706
01:47:33,880 --> 01:47:35,760
that the Jets and the Mets could win a championship

1707
01:47:35,760 --> 01:47:40,039
in the same year before La Knight does. Jeremy says,

1708
01:47:40,039 --> 01:47:43,920
how's wwe gonna spin? The half filled Madison Square Garden tomorrow.

1709
01:47:44,720 --> 01:47:51,520
By calling it sold out, they can just lie and

1710
01:47:51,640 --> 01:47:55,359
call it whatever they want. Look, I mean it's weird,

1711
01:47:55,399 --> 01:47:58,920
like at the ticket prices that they charge. They have

1712
01:47:59,199 --> 01:48:02,399
between nine and ten thousand tickets sold from Madison Square

1713
01:48:02,439 --> 01:48:05,600
Guard so they're gonna make money on the show. But again,

1714
01:48:05,720 --> 01:48:07,520
like they've been to the garden and have sold it

1715
01:48:07,560 --> 01:48:14,359
out in recent years at fourteen eighteen thousand, and it's

1716
01:48:14,359 --> 01:48:21,119
a far cry from that. Yeah, everything is relative. It's

1717
01:48:21,119 --> 01:48:22,800
like I think I think it was Meltzer who mentioned

1718
01:48:22,800 --> 01:48:25,920
this the other day because he's a numbers guy and

1719
01:48:25,960 --> 01:48:28,600
he's always putting out, you know, the attendance averages and

1720
01:48:28,640 --> 01:48:30,680
all this stuff, and it might have been in the

1721
01:48:30,680 --> 01:48:35,199
Observer this week, and you know, he mentioned that when

1722
01:48:37,319 --> 01:48:43,239
typically in the past, like years ago, WWE would be

1723
01:48:43,279 --> 01:48:46,199
averaging somewhere in the range of six or seven thousand

1724
01:48:46,680 --> 01:48:50,680
per year, would be like the average attendance, and the

1725
01:48:50,720 --> 01:48:53,159
average attendance this year is somewhere in like the ten

1726
01:48:53,239 --> 01:48:58,000
thousand range. So they're way above where they traditionally have

1727
01:48:58,079 --> 01:49:01,479
been in terms of attendance, and they charge a lot more.

1728
01:49:02,319 --> 01:49:05,199
But in the last few years they were averaging thirteen,

1729
01:49:05,279 --> 01:49:10,039
fourteen thousand. So now they're down to ten, which is

1730
01:49:10,039 --> 01:49:13,600
still a great number, but it's down from where they were.

1731
01:49:14,960 --> 01:49:17,800
So when we say that they're past the peak, like

1732
01:49:18,039 --> 01:49:20,199
you reach the peak of the mountain, you reach the summit,

1733
01:49:20,239 --> 01:49:24,479
you begin the descent, right like Darby and Mount Everest,

1734
01:49:24,560 --> 01:49:28,119
And so we're off the peak here for WWE. But

1735
01:49:28,159 --> 01:49:30,800
the numbers are still are still very good. They're just

1736
01:49:30,840 --> 01:49:32,680
not as good as they used to be. And so

1737
01:49:32,760 --> 01:49:34,960
the question is why why are the numbers not as

1738
01:49:34,960 --> 01:49:36,760
good as they used to be. And there's a lot

1739
01:49:36,800 --> 01:49:38,319
of reasons for that. And you and I see it

1740
01:49:38,319 --> 01:49:40,399
every week when we watch these television shows. They're just

1741
01:49:40,479 --> 01:49:43,119
not that good. They're just not that good. They're not

1742
01:49:43,159 --> 01:49:48,000
that interesting, and they've dropped the ball on certain people

1743
01:49:48,000 --> 01:49:51,479
who I think they should have been pushing harder or sooner.

1744
01:49:53,479 --> 01:49:55,600
You know, they've got it right for the most part

1745
01:49:56,319 --> 01:49:58,399
so far with Obafemi, but there's a lot of other

1746
01:49:58,479 --> 01:50:00,760
names on the roster who should be in a better

1747
01:50:00,760 --> 01:50:04,159
position than they're in right now. And there's a lot

1748
01:50:04,159 --> 01:50:06,159
of times where you watch the show and it just

1749
01:50:06,159 --> 01:50:12,720
feels like same old, same old. People get tired of it. Yeah,

1750
01:50:13,000 --> 01:50:14,960
you feed them the same stuff over and over again.

1751
01:50:15,000 --> 01:50:17,359
Eventually they just get tired of tasting the same thing.

1752
01:50:17,359 --> 01:50:23,600
They want to try something different. Venom Cantetsu says, The

1753
01:50:23,680 --> 01:50:31,279
Dark Knight is eighteen years old. My back hurts, man,

1754
01:50:32,199 --> 01:50:40,680
you know what that means. I believe that also this year,

1755
01:50:42,439 --> 01:50:46,039
Cloverfield is eighteen years old. I know for a fact

1756
01:50:46,039 --> 01:50:50,880
that it's eighteen years old because I remember the movie

1757
01:50:50,880 --> 01:50:56,439
poster and it was one eighteen eighteen, No. One, eighteen

1758
01:50:56,479 --> 01:50:59,239
eighteen one, eighteen oh eight, I believe was the release day.

1759
01:50:59,239 --> 01:51:07,079
It was two thousand and eight. Man, that's crazy. That

1760
01:51:07,119 --> 01:51:10,680
whole viral marketing campaign was crazy. But yeah, the Dark Knight.

1761
01:51:11,279 --> 01:51:16,680
I saw The Dark Knight more than once. But the

1762
01:51:16,720 --> 01:51:19,319
first time I saw The Dark Knight in theaters was

1763
01:51:19,319 --> 01:51:23,079
with a couple of buddies and there was a place out.

1764
01:51:23,279 --> 01:51:29,560
It was on the Long Island Cradle of Aviation. Cradle

1765
01:51:29,640 --> 01:51:33,159
of Aviation is an aviation museum. It's actually right behind

1766
01:51:33,199 --> 01:51:36,960
where the Nasau Coliseum is, and at the time they

1767
01:51:37,039 --> 01:51:39,600
had their own Imax screen. I don't know if they do.

1768
01:51:39,680 --> 01:51:42,039
I don't think they do anymore, but at the time

1769
01:51:42,079 --> 01:51:44,000
they had an Imax screen in there and they were

1770
01:51:44,000 --> 01:51:45,880
showing The Dark Knight, and so we were gonna go

1771
01:51:45,880 --> 01:51:49,520
there to see it, and I'll never forget it. I've

1772
01:51:49,600 --> 01:51:52,960
not had a movie experience like this since we went

1773
01:51:53,000 --> 01:51:57,079
in there. This it wasn't just in front of you.

1774
01:51:57,079 --> 01:52:01,039
Talk about like an immersive experience. It wasn't just the

1775
01:52:01,039 --> 01:52:03,079
screen in front of you. It was almost like it

1776
01:52:03,119 --> 01:52:09,880
was above us, like spheric almose where it came like

1777
01:52:10,199 --> 01:52:12,600
it came up, not like directly above us where I'm

1778
01:52:12,640 --> 01:52:14,560
like literally looking up, but it was. It was the

1779
01:52:14,600 --> 01:52:18,079
weirdest thing, but it felt like you were there. And

1780
01:52:18,319 --> 01:52:21,520
I don't know if like the real genuine Imax these days,

1781
01:52:21,600 --> 01:52:23,880
or that's what it is. Maybe that's what it is.

1782
01:52:23,920 --> 01:52:26,800
Maybe that was like a genuine IMAX screen, and I

1783
01:52:26,840 --> 01:52:28,920
haven't been to one since. I've been to the shitty

1784
01:52:29,000 --> 01:52:31,960
Limax screens like I was when I saw The Odyssey yesterday.

1785
01:52:32,960 --> 01:52:34,960
I mean, it looked good, but it's not real Imax.

1786
01:52:36,159 --> 01:52:38,760
It was incredible, especially the opening scene of The Dark

1787
01:52:38,800 --> 01:52:42,239
Knight where they have the zip line. I mean, dude,

1788
01:52:42,239 --> 01:52:45,279
you're it just it feels like you're in the movie.

1789
01:52:45,359 --> 01:52:47,279
And so to see The Dark Knight that way was

1790
01:52:47,359 --> 01:52:50,239
just fucking unbelievable. And it's Nolan's so like a lot

1791
01:52:50,279 --> 01:52:54,479
of this shit is filmed for IMAX. I'll never forget

1792
01:52:54,520 --> 01:52:57,960
that that was I wish I could see more movies

1793
01:52:58,079 --> 01:53:00,359
like that. I think there's only one thing or in

1794
01:53:00,359 --> 01:53:03,680
New York City that even has real imax. I think

1795
01:53:03,720 --> 01:53:12,159
it's the AMC and Lincoln Square. EJ says two underrated

1796
01:53:12,199 --> 01:53:16,880
horror movies, ghost Watch and Lake Mungo. I think you'd

1797
01:53:16,880 --> 01:53:20,239
love Lake Mungo, especially if you love obsession. It's Australian

1798
01:53:20,359 --> 01:53:26,319
and disturbing. There are a lot of things about Australia

1799
01:53:26,319 --> 01:53:30,680
that are disturbing. And I don't mean that in the

1800
01:53:30,720 --> 01:53:34,039
mean way. I just like oftentimes will come across like

1801
01:53:34,159 --> 01:53:38,079
videos on like ig and stuff of these creatures and

1802
01:53:38,119 --> 01:53:42,600
spiders and stuff, like all of these things, and like

1803
01:53:43,000 --> 01:53:44,640
all I need to do is look at it, and

1804
01:53:44,680 --> 01:53:47,960
I'm like, I bet you it's Australia, and like nine

1805
01:53:48,000 --> 01:53:49,960
times out of ten that's exactly what it. So Like,

1806
01:53:50,000 --> 01:53:51,720
as much as I would love to visit one day,

1807
01:53:51,800 --> 01:53:55,880
I'm like terrified. The Kowala bears I could deal with.

1808
01:53:56,359 --> 01:54:01,000
They look cute. The bugs not so much. The bugs

1809
01:54:01,039 --> 01:54:07,199
are just that's that's a red line for me. I

1810
01:54:07,239 --> 01:54:08,880
may have to check that out. I thought you were

1811
01:54:08,880 --> 01:54:11,680
going to tell me Lake Mungo is like the Lake Placid.

1812
01:54:13,560 --> 01:54:19,479
It's another movie I enjoyed. Yeah, the closest seventy milimeter

1813
01:54:19,560 --> 01:54:22,479
Imax theater to us in New York City is Lincoln Square,

1814
01:54:22,520 --> 01:54:24,720
That's what I said, AMC Lincoln Square. I think that's

1815
01:54:24,760 --> 01:54:27,680
literally the only one they said for this movie. That

1816
01:54:27,760 --> 01:54:32,800
The Odyssey, which was shot entirely in Imax seventy milimeter.

1817
01:54:34,079 --> 01:54:38,680
There are literally twenty five theaters in the entire country

1818
01:54:38,960 --> 01:54:44,439
that show it in true seventy milimeter, the whole country,

1819
01:54:45,119 --> 01:54:49,439
twenty five theaters, only one in all of New York City.

1820
01:54:50,399 --> 01:54:52,039
And I would imagine that even if I would have

1821
01:54:52,399 --> 01:54:55,079
wanted to travel into Manhattan to go see this thing,

1822
01:54:55,119 --> 01:54:57,000
which I would not have wanted to, but if I did,

1823
01:54:57,560 --> 01:55:00,159
I'm sure it's probably all booked up. It's probably we

1824
01:55:00,199 --> 01:55:03,199
all sold out. So I was like, yeah, you know what,

1825
01:55:03,239 --> 01:55:05,840
we'll see, We'll see it in a Limax. It was fine.

1826
01:55:07,239 --> 01:55:09,880
I mean as far as again, I'm sure it wasn't

1827
01:55:11,159 --> 01:55:14,079
exactly as it was intended to be watched, but I

1828
01:55:14,079 --> 01:55:20,800
didn't see anybody complaining I'd have to drive to Indianapolis

1829
01:55:20,840 --> 01:55:26,800
to get to a seventy milimeter IMAX bomb Blast says,

1830
01:55:26,800 --> 01:55:28,880
I spent a semester there. I had a good time

1831
01:55:28,960 --> 01:55:37,760
in Australia. That's good. I don't know about the Vegamite.

1832
01:55:37,960 --> 01:55:40,640
I don't know if I would enjoy that. I feel

1833
01:55:40,680 --> 01:55:43,319
like that might be a no no. Anyway, we are

1834
01:55:43,359 --> 01:55:46,600
at five hundred and twenty four likes. I believe the

1835
01:55:46,640 --> 01:55:49,399
wheel with the wheel save four fifty. Yeah, the wheel

1836
01:55:49,399 --> 01:55:52,399
said four fifty. All right, well, we got the one

1837
01:55:52,479 --> 01:55:56,199
round coming up that we unlocked, so let's get to it.

1838
01:55:56,199 --> 01:55:59,399
It's time to be the booker. Ladies and gentlemen, it

1839
01:55:59,479 --> 01:56:04,520
is now time to be the booker. Yes, it is.

1840
01:56:05,159 --> 01:56:07,399
That is true. Noah the mark. It is time to

1841
01:56:07,479 --> 01:56:14,520
be the booker. DJ says, there's one ten minutes from

1842
01:56:14,560 --> 01:56:17,439
me in Illinois. Well then, what are you waiting for?

1843
01:56:17,479 --> 01:56:25,800
You should go see it. It's quite the spectacle, all right.

1844
01:56:25,840 --> 01:56:29,199
We got a tag team match on tap. We have

1845
01:56:29,319 --> 01:56:33,000
Matt Hardy and we have MVP, the former SmackDown Tag

1846
01:56:33,039 --> 01:56:40,199
Team champions kicking things off here. Had a good storyline

1847
01:56:40,199 --> 01:56:42,560
going with them there for a while on SmackDown. As

1848
01:56:42,600 --> 01:56:50,399
I recall, uh oh, Randy Orton forces Adam Pierce to

1849
01:56:50,479 --> 01:56:53,800
add a stipulation tier. Is that the WWE Championship that

1850
01:56:53,880 --> 01:56:57,399
I see over Randy orton shoulder? How long has Adam

1851
01:56:57,439 --> 01:57:03,920
Piers been in this in this job? Oh my goodness.

1852
01:57:04,479 --> 01:57:06,439
So we have to add a stipulation for the match.

1853
01:57:09,479 --> 01:57:14,039
All right, Matt Hardy and MVP are going to be

1854
01:57:14,079 --> 01:57:16,520
in a stipulation. We have a stipulation tag team match

1855
01:57:16,560 --> 01:57:20,239
tomorrow at Saturday Night's Made event. This one is going

1856
01:57:20,279 --> 01:57:25,560
to be a tag team hair match. I guess the

1857
01:57:25,600 --> 01:57:30,239
losing team gets shaved bald. I guess that's how it works.

1858
01:57:32,520 --> 01:57:38,520
All right, Oh my goodness, Hat of Discipline is coming

1859
01:57:38,560 --> 01:57:44,479
in with a pair of ten dollars superchats. Hat of Discipline. Well,

1860
01:57:44,520 --> 01:57:46,199
we're going to need that hat because we're going to

1861
01:57:46,279 --> 01:57:48,279
have a bald tag team here in a second. So

1862
01:57:48,840 --> 01:57:52,920
he dropped two ten dollars superchess. That's two hats. That's

1863
01:57:52,960 --> 01:58:00,640
perfect one for each bald head. Matt Hardy an MVP

1864
01:58:01,119 --> 01:58:12,159
against the Rock and mankind, the rock and Sock connection.

1865
01:58:15,920 --> 01:58:22,199
Are they going bald? Now? They're not going bald, Matt

1866
01:58:22,199 --> 01:58:28,079
Hardy and MVP, you're going bald? All right, Women's be

1867
01:58:28,159 --> 01:58:32,760
the Booker, we have Bailey enjoy that site, because I

1868
01:58:32,800 --> 01:58:34,479
don't think that's the site we're going to see again.

1869
01:58:35,760 --> 01:58:37,399
I'm not sure she's going to be in the company

1870
01:58:37,479 --> 01:58:41,720
come the end of this year. Former women's champion Bailey

1871
01:58:43,920 --> 01:58:48,800
will be wrestling tomorrow night in Madison Square Garden against

1872
01:58:48,880 --> 01:58:56,880
Lyra Valkyria. Perhaps they could have a warm up match here, Oh,

1873
01:58:57,159 --> 01:59:02,840
Bailey against Naomi. You know, I would have expected Naomi

1874
01:59:02,880 --> 01:59:05,079
to be back by now. I hope we hope we

1875
01:59:05,119 --> 01:59:07,159
get her back soon. She was just starting to hit

1876
01:59:07,199 --> 01:59:08,960
her stride too as a heel and then she had

1877
01:59:08,960 --> 01:59:12,399
to go away. That would be a great pickup in

1878
01:59:12,560 --> 01:59:14,680
the women's division if they can get her back soon

1879
01:59:15,359 --> 01:59:18,520
as a heel. Just pick up right where she left off,

1880
01:59:18,520 --> 01:59:28,359
same gimmick. What was her catchphrase again, you've been forewarned?

1881
01:59:29,119 --> 01:59:31,760
God was what was that? I forgot what it was?

1882
01:59:31,880 --> 01:59:40,600
I forgot her slogan, her big catchphrase, beware of dog.

1883
01:59:42,000 --> 01:59:45,760
I can't remember what it was. I can't remember now. Oh,

1884
01:59:45,800 --> 01:59:49,119
we hit the bonus goal. Look at that. Look at

1885
01:59:49,199 --> 01:59:54,359
that hat of discipline and Brandon Proctor got us over

1886
01:59:54,399 --> 01:59:58,840
the finish line. Look at that. Fifteen out of fifteen

1887
01:59:58,960 --> 02:00:06,680
bonus b to be is coming up. Proceed with caution?

1888
02:00:06,920 --> 02:00:09,640
There ya guy, It was on the tip of my tongue.

1889
02:00:09,680 --> 02:00:12,359
I couldn't remember. I thought, why did I say beware,

1890
02:00:13,039 --> 02:00:18,840
Beware of dog? It's beware of dog dawg. And then

1891
02:00:18,880 --> 02:00:26,279
her and Jimmy could be an on screen pairing. That's right,

1892
02:00:26,560 --> 02:00:29,479
Jimmy did not proceed with caution. That's why Naomi just

1893
02:00:29,520 --> 02:00:32,880
lost a year of her career. All right, men's be

1894
02:00:32,920 --> 02:00:43,039
the booker. We have the former WWE champion Drew McIntyre.

1895
02:00:43,439 --> 02:00:47,199
They basically just gave Gunther his story with Nick All

1896
02:00:47,239 --> 02:01:04,720
this Drew McIntyre, Oh my god, against Hero Tanahashi. Wow,

1897
02:01:04,800 --> 02:01:09,479
that's a great main event. That's a great match. Drew

1898
02:01:09,680 --> 02:01:18,239
McIntyre against the Ace when he still had knees. Yiroshi

1899
02:01:18,319 --> 02:01:24,960
tana Hashi. Who would have won that one? I'm going

1900
02:01:25,000 --> 02:01:29,560
with the Ace. I'm going with the Ace. And now

1901
02:01:29,640 --> 02:01:35,520
we have the bonus round. Clean sweep one good clean

1902
02:01:35,600 --> 02:01:40,359
sweep deserves another. That's a hell of a car and

1903
02:01:40,399 --> 02:01:45,359
I just put together for you there that may be

1904
02:01:45,479 --> 02:01:47,920
the only one I put together for you. Tonight we

1905
02:01:48,000 --> 02:01:53,600
have a Firefly Funhouse tag team match. Well, this is

1906
02:01:53,640 --> 02:01:59,720
going to be a trip Firefly funhouse tag team attraction

1907
02:02:04,600 --> 02:02:10,560
with well, look who it is, the mft's reborn. It

1908
02:02:10,640 --> 02:02:15,199
is the Gorillas of Destiny Geo d Tama Tonga and

1909
02:02:15,279 --> 02:02:21,680
the Great, the One and Only Tonga lois the number one.

1910
02:02:21,680 --> 02:02:25,119
Almost Sapient knows this is his favorite tag team right here,

1911
02:02:27,479 --> 02:02:31,880
Bullet Club. But it's a Firefly funhouse match. I wonder

1912
02:02:31,920 --> 02:02:35,239
if they'll go through all of Togalowa's past gimmicks in

1913
02:02:35,319 --> 02:02:40,600
this match. They're gonna be taken on Rob Van Dam

1914
02:02:40,880 --> 02:02:49,079
and sab Boo. Sab Boo I thought he was holding

1915
02:02:49,079 --> 02:02:53,560
the intercontinental title there for a second. We're still on

1916
02:02:53,600 --> 02:02:58,000
a roll. We're still on a roll. We have a

1917
02:02:58,000 --> 02:03:04,119
women's match, a women's dog collar Why do we keep

1918
02:03:04,119 --> 02:03:06,920
doing this? We keep having these women's dog collar matches.

1919
02:03:08,439 --> 02:03:10,840
I think be the booker has a certain kink. I'm

1920
02:03:10,880 --> 02:03:14,800
starting to think it keeps putting the dog collars on

1921
02:03:14,840 --> 02:03:19,840
the ladies here. What is wrong with you? What is

1922
02:03:19,920 --> 02:03:24,479
going on here? We just had one of these the

1923
02:03:24,479 --> 02:03:29,720
other day. Uh, choose four women and book a tag

1924
02:03:29,760 --> 02:03:36,439
team dog collar match. A tag team women's dog collar match.

1925
02:03:37,479 --> 02:03:40,359
This is getting very weird. It's getting very awkward here.

1926
02:03:43,199 --> 02:03:53,640
All right, we have Harley Cameron and her tag team partner. Oh,

1927
02:03:53,840 --> 02:03:59,479
Tessa Blanchard. Tessa Blanchard and Harley camera. This is the

1928
02:03:59,479 --> 02:04:03,399
only way you'll ever see Tessa Blanchard in an aw ring.

1929
02:04:04,560 --> 02:04:09,880
Right here and be the booker. Tessa and Harley in

1930
02:04:09,920 --> 02:04:16,760
a tag team dog collar match against Sky Blue and

1931
02:04:16,920 --> 02:04:25,399
her tag team partner. Who is Tessa going to be

1932
02:04:25,439 --> 02:04:32,720
attached to? Is the question? The lovely Mariah May? How

1933
02:04:32,760 --> 02:04:36,920
could I buzz the glamour? This is back in her

1934
02:04:37,000 --> 02:04:40,239
days when she actually used to wrestle. Believe it or not,

1935
02:04:40,319 --> 02:04:42,840
she was actually not a bad wrestler in her day.

1936
02:04:43,720 --> 02:04:48,319
I know you would never know it these days, but

1937
02:04:48,439 --> 02:04:53,439
she did used to wrestle actual wrestling matches. Tessa in

1938
02:04:54,039 --> 02:05:01,439
a dog collar match sounds wild. And now we have

1939
02:05:01,520 --> 02:05:06,800
come to our main event and it will be entering

1940
02:05:07,159 --> 02:05:10,800
the lions Den. We are entering the lions Den for

1941
02:05:10,840 --> 02:05:14,680
our main event attraction here in this installment of be

1942
02:05:14,760 --> 02:05:17,600
the Booker, As we try to end here on a

1943
02:05:17,720 --> 02:05:22,760
high note, who is entering the cage? Two men will enter,

1944
02:05:22,800 --> 02:05:29,920
one man will leave. He has been double booked, even

1945
02:05:29,960 --> 02:05:38,640
in death. The homicidal, genocidal, suicidal Saboo is going to

1946
02:05:38,800 --> 02:05:43,680
enter the lions den. He's a busy guy. That means

1947
02:05:43,680 --> 02:05:58,279
he gets a double payday. Saboo against Bautista, we did

1948
02:05:58,279 --> 02:06:02,079
the double sweep Batista and Saboo. Who leaves the Lions

1949
02:06:02,159 --> 02:06:06,399
then I think big I'm gonna go with Big Dave

1950
02:06:06,479 --> 02:06:10,479
in this one. Saboo is gonna do something stupid and

1951
02:06:10,520 --> 02:06:18,000
injure himself. That's my prediction. Hat of discipline Again, thank

1952
02:06:18,039 --> 02:06:23,319
you for the double ten spot, Brandon Proctor, thank you

1953
02:06:23,359 --> 02:06:25,479
for getting us over the finish line. And last but

1954
02:06:25,600 --> 02:06:30,840
not least, justin Turley, ever thought about doing more RSPW. Absolutely,

1955
02:06:33,760 --> 02:06:37,880
there will be more the next installment, and if you

1956
02:06:37,920 --> 02:06:39,880
are a channel member, we had some people who were

1957
02:06:39,880 --> 02:06:43,680
gifted memberships tonight. You will get early access. You'll get

1958
02:06:43,680 --> 02:06:47,199
first access to the next installments of Be the Booker

1959
02:06:47,319 --> 02:06:49,239
just as soon as I am able to get it done.

1960
02:06:49,640 --> 02:06:52,079
People seem to really enjoy the last one. I made

1961
02:06:52,079 --> 02:06:55,720
a whole new layout for it and everything, so yes,

1962
02:06:55,760 --> 02:07:00,159
there will be more. There are still posts that I

1963
02:07:00,199 --> 02:07:02,520
have accumulated. I haven't gone through all of them yet,

1964
02:07:03,920 --> 02:07:07,159
so stay tuned. And if you are not a channel member,

1965
02:07:07,159 --> 02:07:11,119
it'd be a good time to become one or again,

1966
02:07:11,159 --> 02:07:14,319
you could always give the membership to a random fellow

1967
02:07:14,399 --> 02:07:18,760
SoundOff fan here on the channel. It's all I got

1968
02:07:18,800 --> 02:07:21,319
for you. Thank you guys for hanging out with me here.

1969
02:07:21,359 --> 02:07:23,119
I'm glad to be back in the saddle after we

1970
02:07:23,159 --> 02:07:26,159
miss Wednesday, I will have my full dynamite thoughts as

1971
02:07:26,199 --> 02:07:28,920
part of the SoundOff on Sunday, plus all the fallout

1972
02:07:28,920 --> 02:07:31,239
from Saturday Nights made event, which I will be live

1973
02:07:31,279 --> 02:07:34,039
tomorrow night on YouTube talking about. So hopefully you guys

1974
02:07:34,039 --> 02:07:37,760
will join me. Then less than twenty four hours from now,

1975
02:07:37,800 --> 02:07:41,359
we'll talk about this not so hot card from Madison

1976
02:07:41,359 --> 02:07:45,800
Square Garden and then back on Sunday for episode nine

1977
02:07:45,960 --> 02:07:53,479
seventy two of the longest running episodic wrestling podcast, not true,

1978
02:07:53,760 --> 02:07:57,000
one of the longest running. That is true, not the longest,

1979
02:07:57,279 --> 02:08:01,399
but one of the longest. Death Sife wanted to get

1980
02:08:01,399 --> 02:08:05,159
the last word in, I'm sorry Justin he beat you. See,

1981
02:08:05,199 --> 02:08:10,159
I thought Justin had the honors here death side with

1982
02:08:10,239 --> 02:08:14,399
the twenty six. If Sammy was the referee, Punk and

1983
02:08:14,439 --> 02:08:17,199
Cody both have a reason to be weary. Sammy could

1984
02:08:17,199 --> 02:08:19,560
screw over Punk because Punk won the belt from him,

1985
02:08:19,560 --> 02:08:21,760
but Sammy could screw over Cody because he wants to

1986
02:08:21,840 --> 02:08:25,239
be the one to win the championship back from Punk.

1987
02:08:26,960 --> 02:08:31,880
That's the whole point. It wouldn't really be a situation

1988
02:08:31,920 --> 02:08:34,439
where he would favor one over the other. They would

1989
02:08:34,479 --> 02:08:36,960
both kind of be screwed. That's why I said, like,

1990
02:08:36,960 --> 02:08:39,359
if they wanted to really cheap out and not have

1991
02:08:39,439 --> 02:08:41,800
a clean, decisive winner, you just put Sammy and there

1992
02:08:41,800 --> 02:08:43,359
was a referee, he could try to screw both of

1993
02:08:43,399 --> 02:08:50,239
them over. I don't know how I feel about that.

1994
02:08:50,239 --> 02:08:52,159
That would be a very shitty way to end your

1995
02:08:52,199 --> 02:08:56,199
Summer sligh main event if we had no clear cut winner,

1996
02:08:56,560 --> 02:08:59,520
But I can't think of a better role for him

1997
02:08:59,520 --> 02:09:01,079
on that show. So honestly, if he's not going to

1998
02:09:01,119 --> 02:09:03,920
be wrestling for the championship, you can make him the referee.

1999
02:09:05,479 --> 02:09:09,239
It's not the worst idea they could come up with. Anyways.

2000
02:09:09,279 --> 02:09:12,960
Be well, stay safe, have yourself a great rest of

2001
02:09:12,960 --> 02:09:16,199
your night, a great weekend, and I will see you

2002
02:09:16,239 --> 02:09:19,000
back here for the Saturday Night's main event review tomorrow

2003
02:09:19,079 --> 02:09:22,359
night live on YouTube. Until then, take care, guys,
