Speaker 1: It was one of these weeks I had to bring
Speaker 1: green Men back for the intro. When you see green
Speaker 1: Men trying as hard as he possibly can not to
Speaker 1: be sucked into the hole that is three hours of raw,
Speaker 1: you know that it was not a great night of raw.
Speaker 1: And you know, SmackDown has been a bore over these
Speaker 1: last two weeks three weeks. At least raw has been entertaining.
Speaker 1: At least Raw has has kept things interesting. Unfortunately, tonight
Speaker 1: was not one of those nights. We did, however, in
Speaker 1: the main event, finally get Finn Balor for the first
Speaker 1: time ever one on one with Gunther. It a match
Speaker 1: that has been four years in the making. We were
Speaker 1: supposed to get this match four years ago in NXT
Speaker 1: in Dublin, n XT UK, and then unfortunately the entire
Speaker 1: world shut down and we never got the match until tonight.
Speaker 1: A little bit different because both matter heels, but we
Speaker 1: did finally get the match tonight, not in front of
Speaker 1: the right crowd and under the wrong circumstances, because it
Speaker 1: wasn't even about Finn Balor against Gunther, all right, I
Speaker 1: mean that's not really what it's about. It's about Gunther
Speaker 1: and Damian Priest Finn Balor was in there tonight as
Speaker 1: a device. He was a means to get Damian Priest
Speaker 1: out there at the very end of the show for
Speaker 1: the show closing brawl. I was bored by this show.
Speaker 1: It was a very much a filler episode. I mean,
Speaker 1: they had a lot of promos on the show tonight
Speaker 1: pre tapes hyping up the key matches for Summer so Lemon.
Speaker 1: There's nothing wrong with that, but there were a lot
Speaker 1: of those, and there were a lot of matches that
Speaker 1: just were very flat, very flat matches, and you could
Speaker 1: blame the crowd for it. The crowd was kind of quiet,
Speaker 1: but it's not just the crowd. I mean, it was
Speaker 1: just a very flat show, and it just felt like, Okay,
Speaker 1: we're almost there. Saturday's right around the corner, and we
Speaker 1: just got to get there. So let's just you know,
Speaker 1: phill up three hours as best we can, just to
Speaker 1: get us over the hump to SummerSlam. That's what it
Speaker 1: felt like tonight. Actually, the most interesting thing about Raw
Speaker 1: was somebody who was not even on Raw tonight, but
Speaker 1: he was at RAW, and that was Jesse Ventur. They
Speaker 1: were in Minnesota tonight for Raw, and so they were
Speaker 1: in the Twin Cities and Jesse was in the house,
Speaker 1: and they did show some brief footage of Jesse Ventor
Speaker 1: arriving at the building. Triple H was there to greet him,
Speaker 1: and Jesse was talking his ear off, telling him I'm
Speaker 1: sure all kinds of stories, and I just wish we
Speaker 1: would have had him sit in for one match on commentary.
Speaker 1: I was kind of hoping he would get an entrance,
Speaker 1: maybe they would introduce him to the crowd, get him
Speaker 1: to sit in on one match. We didn't get that.
Speaker 1: He missed it. He had said recently that Vince McMahon
Speaker 1: leaving the company cleared the way for him to engage
Speaker 1: in talks with them again about possibly coming back and
Speaker 1: having a reallyationship. And I believe what he has or
Speaker 1: what he's been in discussions about having is a Legends deal.
Speaker 1: So not not anything where he would be on TV
Speaker 1: or have a recurring role or anything like that, but
Speaker 1: like a Legends type deal. And so that's cool, But
Speaker 1: this show could have used him tonight. I was waiting
Speaker 1: for Jesse to come out and do anything. You know.
Speaker 1: The thing with me is I was already looking forward
Speaker 1: to summer Slim. I know there are some people who
Speaker 1: are nonplussed about the card coming up on Saturday. They
Speaker 1: don't think that the two championship matches the strongest title
Speaker 1: matches that they could have put together, and they're not.
Speaker 1: They're not seth Rollins against Gunther would have been a
Speaker 1: much stronger match. Cody Rhodes against Randy Orton would have
Speaker 1: been a much stronger match. We didn't get either one
Speaker 1: of those. Even Still, though I think the bill of
Speaker 1: Summer Slim has been good and the card is such
Speaker 1: that I am looking forward to what I was already
Speaker 1: looking forward to a coming into tonight, this show just
Speaker 1: did not do any thing to get me any more
Speaker 1: excited for what we're gonna see. This is your Monday
Speaker 1: Night Raw review. We are going to talk about it.
Speaker 1: Though it is July twenty ninth, two thousand and twenty four.
Speaker 1: I am the Solom Monster, like and subscribe. They announced,
Speaker 1: by the way, for those who may have missed it,
Speaker 1: they did make mention that the pre show for Summer
Speaker 1: Slam on Saturday, they announced no matches, but we are
Speaker 1: getting a three hour pre show, so unless they add
Speaker 1: matches at the last minute, no matches. Three hour pre
Speaker 1: show for Summer slim. Good luck with that. I salute you.
Speaker 1: I hope you have fun. I will not be watching
Speaker 1: this show though. Tonight opened with Seth Rollins coming out
Speaker 1: to deliver his referee instructions to see I'm Punk and
Speaker 1: Drew McIntyre in what I believe to be the actual
Speaker 1: main event, the real main event of Summer Slam on Saturday.
Speaker 1: And we've been one wondering, you know what Seth is
Speaker 1: going to wear when he comes out to be the
Speaker 1: referee on Saturday. What kind of wacky outfit is he
Speaker 1: going to have. I don't know that this is necessarily
Speaker 1: going to be exactly the outfit he is going to wear,
Speaker 1: but we did get a look. We got a little
Speaker 1: sneak peek. This is what Seth Rollins came out dressed
Speaker 1: up as tonight. He was out there looking like Beetlejuice,
Speaker 1: and you can't see it in the photo, but he
Speaker 1: had zebra print boots on as well. Not as outlandish
Speaker 1: as I was thinking it might be, but that is
Speaker 1: very much a Seth Rolins referee outfit. So see I'm
Speaker 1: Punk came out next, and then Drew McIntyre came out.
Speaker 1: They pointed out that this they being The announcers pointed
Speaker 1: out that this will be Punk's first singles match and
Speaker 1: a WWE ring in ten and a half years. I
Speaker 1: pointed that out of the podcast yesterday. His last televised
Speaker 1: singles match match was in January of twenty fourteen, and
Speaker 1: it came against Billy Gunn. That's how long it has
Speaker 1: been since CM Punk has been in a singles match
Speaker 1: on TV. In ww A, they didn't mention Billy Gun's name.
Speaker 1: I didn't think they would, but that's who his opponent was.
Speaker 1: He did wrestle a couple of matches with Dominic after
Speaker 1: he came back earlier at the beginning of the year,
Speaker 1: but those were not televised. I know he wrestled Dominic
Speaker 1: in Madison Square. Guard so Rolin said that Adam Pierce
Speaker 1: ordered Punk and McIntyre tonight not to lay a finger
Speaker 1: on each other or him, and if they broke those rules,
Speaker 1: the match on Saturday was off, so no physicality tonight.
Speaker 1: With that, Punk rolled out of the ring as soon
Speaker 1: as he said that no one can put their hands
Speaker 1: on me. Punk rolled to the outside. McIntyre told Punk
Speaker 1: to stop being such a coward and get back in
Speaker 1: the ring, and Punk said that he wasn't worried about
Speaker 1: what McIntyre or Rollins would do to him. He was
Speaker 1: worried what he might do to them, so he was
Speaker 1: just going to stay outside. Rolin said, look, I volunteered
Speaker 1: to be the referee for this match because you two
Speaker 1: idiots scared of all the other referees in the back.
Speaker 1: Rolin said, if punk one to the fight, then he
Speaker 1: should get his ass back in the ring, and so
Speaker 1: he did. Rolin said that there will be only one
Speaker 1: rule for this match. This was the purpose of the segment.
Speaker 1: The segment was to establish what the referee instructions would be,
Speaker 1: which is kind of an odd thing to you know, promote.
Speaker 1: As far as we know, there's no stipulations for the match,
Speaker 1: so what could the rules possibly be. So he made
Speaker 1: it clear here the only rule for this match. You
Speaker 1: two will listen to everything that I say said. I
Speaker 1: called the shots. I'm the boss, I'm the law. I
Speaker 1: count to three when I want to count to three.
Speaker 1: You tap out only when I say you can tap out.
Speaker 1: If there's a count out to be had, well, maybe
Speaker 1: there won't be. He count outs says, I might count
Speaker 1: to ten, I might count to twenty, I might count
Speaker 1: to a million. He also downplayed a possible disqualification, saying
Speaker 1: that it would be at his discretion. Punk said that
Speaker 1: he did not want Rollin's help on Saturday. He mean,
Speaker 1: he wanted to make that very clear. I do not
Speaker 1: want your help, which, of course, why the fuck would
Speaker 1: Seth Rollins help seem Punk? So I don't think that's
Speaker 1: going to be an issue. McIntyre interrupted as they were
Speaker 1: having a tental face off and said, hello, why don't
Speaker 1: you focus on me? You know, the six foot four,
Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty pound guy over here that you've
Speaker 1: screwed over and over and over again. McIntyre said he
Speaker 1: hates Punk, said he's like Charles Manson in that he
Speaker 1: poisons everyone's mind. He said he can't even go to
Speaker 1: the supermarket without somebody chanting Punk's name at him. McIntyre
Speaker 1: said he wanted to rough up Punk a little bit
Speaker 1: in the Royal Rumble match, just a little bit, and
Speaker 1: he ended up tearing his triceps. He didn't even mean
Speaker 1: to injure it. He said that he wasn't even trying to.
Speaker 1: He said that Punk has screwed him out of the
Speaker 1: title twice since then, at WrestleMania and then in front
Speaker 1: of his family. And then also he didn't mention this,
Speaker 1: but money in the bank as well. So he actually
Speaker 1: screwed him out of the World Championship three times this year,
Speaker 1: not just those two times. McIntyre said he wouldn't stop
Speaker 1: beating Punk until Punk's heart stops. Just kind of extreme.
Speaker 1: He said. The best thing is that the match is
Speaker 1: being held in a stadium and he will be making
Speaker 1: a lot of money for something that he would have
Speaker 1: done for free. Punk said that he was absent from
Speaker 1: the company for ten years and the fans chanted his name.
Speaker 1: That's what he said, the fans. I'm not saying that
Speaker 1: to say the fans started chanting his name. Punk said
Speaker 1: that he was gone for a decade and while he
Speaker 1: was gone, the people chanted for him. That that was
Speaker 1: a cue for the fans to start chanting for him.
Speaker 1: And yet it was a very tepid reaction. And this
Speaker 1: was not the most overly enthusiastic crowd here tonight to
Speaker 1: begin with. But it was a little bit a little
Speaker 1: bit embarrassing here because you can tell that was their
Speaker 1: cue to like, you know, get the CM Punk chance going,
Speaker 1: and it really was not what you would expect. So
Speaker 1: Punk said that they chant his name, they sing Seth's song,
Speaker 1: and McIntyre is the third wheel basically in this match.
Speaker 1: Punk said, McIntyre has PDS Punk derangement syndrome. He said,
Speaker 1: the best and worst thing that ever happened to McIntyre
Speaker 1: was injuring him. Punk said, he may not be as
Speaker 1: tall as him, he may not be as big as him,
Speaker 1: he may not be as fast as him, but he
Speaker 1: has heart and he has the people chanting his name.
Speaker 1: And this time the fans took the queue and they
Speaker 1: started chanting cm Punk. Punk asked McIntyre what he has?
Speaker 1: What do you have? Right? I've got heart? What do
Speaker 1: you have? McIntyre held up the bracelet that he stole
Speaker 1: from Punk that has AJ's name and Larry the Dog's
Speaker 1: name on it, and that pissed off Punk. Punk got
Speaker 1: right up to his face, but again no physicality, so
Speaker 1: he couldn't put his hands on him. And that was it.
Speaker 1: That was it. That was the entire segment. I thought
Speaker 1: it was effective enough. This was not one of their
Speaker 1: better segments together. It fell pretty flat. But what they
Speaker 1: did do here is they established that Rollins is going
Speaker 1: to call the match his way and probably show a
Speaker 1: lot of leniency, which means they're going to allow a
Speaker 1: lot of things in this match that would not be
Speaker 1: allowed in a regular match. So that tells me they're
Speaker 1: going to brawl, probably in the crowd. They're going to
Speaker 1: brawl outside the ring. We don't have to worry about
Speaker 1: count outs. They might bring weapons into play, and it's
Speaker 1: Rollin's discretion whether or not he disqualifies people. So basically,
Speaker 1: it sounds to me like their way of making it
Speaker 1: no DQ no count out without calling it a no
Speaker 1: DQ no count out match. We're not getting a clean finish,
Speaker 1: and I think that it's going to be Punk who
Speaker 1: ends up inadvertently being screwed out of a win by
Speaker 1: seth Rawlins. Drew McIntyre should win this match, and I
Speaker 1: believe that he will win this match. This is only
Speaker 1: the first and I think he has to win here,
Speaker 1: and I think that would be the right move to make.
Speaker 1: But otherwise, you know, given all the personalities involved, I mean,
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what, it certainly was not the segment
Speaker 1: that we got earlier this year on Raw with all
Speaker 1: these guys in the ring together, that was one of
Speaker 1: the best segments on WWE television all year. That's not
Speaker 1: what this was. Inside the Judgment Day clubhouse, Rhea, Ripley, Dominic, Masterio,
Speaker 1: Finn Balor, JD McDonough, and Carlito, they were surveying the
Speaker 1: damage that somebody did. Somebody wrecked their clubhouse, and Rhea
Speaker 1: suggested that liv Morgan was the perpetrator and said that
Speaker 1: she would pay for it. At Summer Slam, Damian pre
Speaker 1: showed up, but also assumed that liv Morgan was responsible,
Speaker 1: and he said that he felt like he should be
Speaker 1: in Finn Balor's corner tonight during his main event match
Speaker 1: against Gunther. Balor shot that down, said, look I'll handle him.
Speaker 1: You guys clean up the clubhouse. Baler hoped that they
Speaker 1: would take out Sammy's Ain and jay Uso, and Priest said, look,
Speaker 1: we've already handled that. It's like going backwards here, all right.
Speaker 1: We already took care of those two, and Rhea agreed
Speaker 1: with him. Dominic suggested that Carlito handle Sammy's Ain, and
Speaker 1: Carlito said that he would go talk to Adam Pearce,
Speaker 1: we had Otis and Tozaua taking on the Creed brothers,
Speaker 1: who were successful in their respective matches last night at
Speaker 1: Josh Barnett's blood Sport. Brutus Creed coming out to Biggie
Speaker 1: by Ray Junior Is. That was not something I was
Speaker 1: expecting last night when I saw the clip, But there
Speaker 1: he was coming out to that song. Otis took a
Speaker 1: hot tag coming out of the break. He was super over.
Speaker 1: The announcers mentioned that he only lives forty five minutes
Speaker 1: away from where they were tonight, or maybe he used
Speaker 1: to live forty five minut and it's away. I know
Speaker 1: he and Chad Gable are like neighbors. They basically live
Speaker 1: next to each other. And I don't know if Gable
Speaker 1: lives in Minnesota or if he's I thought he was
Speaker 1: in Florida maybe, But in any event, Otis is the
Speaker 1: hometown boy, so he was very over. Gable climbed up
Speaker 1: onto the apron to distract Otis and then drop down
Speaker 1: when Otis took a swing at him. Otis put Julius
Speaker 1: Creed down, hit the caterpillar, he went to the ropes.
Speaker 1: He got hit by Brutus though, who climbed up on
Speaker 1: the ropes with him, but then Otis back dropped him
Speaker 1: into the ring and he ended up taking out Gable
Speaker 1: with a punch. Creeds ended it with a double suplex
Speaker 1: double backsupplex from the middle rope, and Julius pinned Otis.
Speaker 1: After the match was over, Gable and the Creeds they
Speaker 1: were working otis over when Maxine Dupree gets into the
Speaker 1: ring right he takes her shoes off, gets in the
Speaker 1: ring and she jumps on Gable's back. So Gable shakes
Speaker 1: her off and then turns her and now he sees
Speaker 1: her and he starts talking shit. So she smacked him
Speaker 1: and then before he could respond because she's backed into
Speaker 1: the corner, and Maxine is you know, she's ready to fight, right.
Speaker 1: I don't know what she's gonna do here, but she's
Speaker 1: ready to fight. The lights begin to go out for
Speaker 1: the entrance of the Wyat six. We've seen this before.
Speaker 1: The single piano key begins playing Eric Rowan, Dexter Loomis,
Speaker 1: Joe Gacy. They make their way to the ring and
Speaker 1: their masks. When they climb up on the apron, they
Speaker 1: pull the masks off to reveal their identities. Nikki Cross
Speaker 1: meanwhile is behind Gable in the Creeds on the top rope.
Speaker 1: She comes diving off takes out Gable with a crossbody.
Speaker 1: He rolls out to the floor. Gable or a gaycy
Speaker 1: rather Gasey and Loomis. They put the creeds down with
Speaker 1: stereo urinaggies and then Gasey power bomb Loomis onto the creeds,
Speaker 1: and then when they got up rowing round the ropes,
Speaker 1: he wiped them out with a running crossbody block. Gable
Speaker 1: was already halfway down the aisle. He was backing down
Speaker 1: the aisle, and then he must have had a cold
Speaker 1: chill come over him because he realized I better turn around,
Speaker 1: and so Gable turned around and he saw coming from
Speaker 1: the entrance way. You saw him in the light. You
Speaker 1: saw the shadow of uncle Howdy Gable ran away and
Speaker 1: howd he laughed on stage. I was not expecting them
Speaker 1: to unmask there, so that was a nice surprise. Dexter
Speaker 1: Loomis has a new look. He's got long dreadlocks. He
Speaker 1: is a giant X painted on his forehead. But yes,
Speaker 1: I was not expecting them to pull the masks off
Speaker 1: in that spot. I figured that there was no way
Speaker 1: they were going to wrestle with those masks. I mean,
Speaker 1: Rowan wrestling in a fucking rabbit costume would have been ridiculous.
Speaker 1: Or you know, Loomis with that big buzzard mask. Howdy though,
Speaker 1: howd he has a mask fitted for his face? Where
Speaker 1: you know Bo Dallas can wrestle with the mask the
Speaker 1: other ones you know you can't. You can't wrestle with
Speaker 1: that shit on your head. I mean, come on, wait,
Speaker 1: had Seamus one on one with Bronson Reid. Seamus's music,
Speaker 1: I know I say it every week. I've just made
Speaker 1: one more comment about it and be done with this.
Speaker 1: Seamus's music is so generically awful that I don't want
Speaker 1: him to win the Intercontinental title until he changes it,
Speaker 1: because that's the eventual story for him, right the one
Speaker 1: championship he's always wanted to win that he's never won before,
Speaker 1: and it's gonna be a great moment one day when
Speaker 1: it eventually happens, and you know it'll mean something to him. Uh,
Speaker 1: but I don't want him to win. I don't want
Speaker 1: him to win anything, to be honest with you, until
Speaker 1: he gets that awful music check. Can you imagine seam
Speaker 1: Is going to wrestle Mania next year and winning the
Speaker 1: Intercontinental Championship finally for the first time, and then celebrating
Speaker 1: to that fucking music. I don't want to see that,
Speaker 1: so until such time that they finally give Shamus some
Speaker 1: new music. I have pulled out my trusty voodoo doll,
Speaker 1: who makes very rare appearances here on the screen, maybe
Speaker 1: once or twice a year at most, is when we
Speaker 1: see the voodoo doll. But I am hereby pulling out
Speaker 1: the pin. Okay, here's the pin, and I am sticking
Speaker 1: the pin in the voodoo doll. I put a voodoo
Speaker 1: curse on Shamus. He will win nothing, nothing, until his
Speaker 1: music is changed. Bring back lobster Head. In the meantime,
Speaker 1: he's cursed. Seamus had a white noise off the middle
Speaker 1: rope for a dear fall. He did the ten beats
Speaker 1: but it was sixteen beats to the chest before the
Speaker 1: referee pulled him away. So when the referee pulled him away,
Speaker 1: Seamus went off, you know, into the corner, and he's
Speaker 1: playing to the crowd. Reid's leg is quote unquote stuck
Speaker 1: in the ropes and the referee is fumbling around trying
Speaker 1: to pretend like he's freeing Bronson Reid from the ropes
Speaker 1: while Seamus is in the corner. The point of all
Speaker 1: of this is the referee's attention is diverted, his back
Speaker 1: is turned and Seamus is in the corner and he
Speaker 1: starts setting up for the brogue kick. Now, I think
Speaker 1: Bronson Reid's foot was supposed to be trapped in the ropes,
Speaker 1: but it wasn't, unfortunately, and so it looked completely ridiculous
Speaker 1: because the referee is, oh, let me free you right,
Speaker 1: I mean, he's free. You don't have to do anything.
Speaker 1: He's clearly free from the ropes, but the referee has
Speaker 1: to pretend that he's not because the spot is that
Speaker 1: Pete Dunn is going to get up on the ring
Speaker 1: apron with a schalale and he's gonna whack Shamous in
Speaker 1: the head with it, which is what we're on the
Speaker 1: side of the neck. And that's what he did. And
Speaker 1: then Bronson Reid finally got it's back to his feet
Speaker 1: and goes up to the top rope, delivers the tsunami
Speaker 1: splash and wins the match. Seamus against Pete Dunn is
Speaker 1: going to be fun when it finally happens. I don't
Speaker 1: know when, but it will happen soon. I'm looking forward
Speaker 1: to that match. Unfortunately, that spot was ridiculous. Just the
Speaker 1: way it looked was preposterous. I should put a curse
Speaker 1: on deaf Rebel is what people are telling me. See,
Speaker 1: fire Panda has a point though. Fire Panda says, deaf
Speaker 1: Rebel does not need a voodoo doll to be cursed.
Speaker 1: See that's true. It's I mean, it's like putting a
Speaker 1: curse on a curse. I mean it would be it
Speaker 1: would kind of defeat the purpose. I hate to do
Speaker 1: it again. I hate to do it. I like Seamus,
Speaker 1: but and it's not his fault. But he's cursed until
Speaker 1: he gets new music. That's just the way it is.
Speaker 1: They are at a really good pre tape promo with Damian Priest.
Speaker 1: He said Gunther did not understand his upbringing. Gunther was
Speaker 1: brought up with here you goes if he needed the
Speaker 1: best training facility and training team, here you go, a
Speaker 1: group of people tell him how great he is, here
Speaker 1: you go. Guther didn't have what couldn't be given to him.
Speaker 1: He did not have heart, said Gunther. May call him
Speaker 1: street trash, but to Damian Priest, that translated to Puerto
Speaker 1: Rican badass. Guther was a product of European ingenuity, and
Speaker 1: that translated to you're an asshole. So the ring would
Speaker 1: become the street at SummerSlam and Gunther was gonna get mugged.
Speaker 1: Priest said that he fought for everything he got and
Speaker 1: he was willing to die for everything he had. It
Speaker 1: didn't happen in front of the live crowd, but this
Speaker 1: was the best promo that Damian Priest has cut since
Speaker 1: becoming World Heavyweight Champion. This was this was very good.
Speaker 1: We had jay Usso one on one with Carlito. This
Speaker 1: should have been a glorified squash match for jay Uso,
Speaker 1: and instead we got a very boring eight minute match.
Speaker 1: Carlito decided in the middle of this match, for some reason,
Speaker 1: to start eating his apple. I guess he got hungry.
Speaker 1: Babe Catering was running a little low, and so he
Speaker 1: grabs the apple and he takes a bite out of it.
Speaker 1: He's arguing with the referee about this. While all of
Speaker 1: this is going on, jay Uso schoolboyed him for a
Speaker 1: two count, then he speared him for a three count
Speaker 1: and picked up the win, and that's all there was
Speaker 1: to it. So hopefully Rakishi is happy that jay Uso
Speaker 1: picked up a win on the show tonight, but we
Speaker 1: know Rikishi is not. Rakishi is not very happy though.
Speaker 1: That is his son is not going to summer. You
Speaker 1: know what I realized by the way when I talked
Speaker 1: about the Rakishi story on the podcast yesterday, and how
Speaker 1: upset he is that WWE, in his opinion, doesn't know
Speaker 1: what to do with Jay Uso and they're mistreating him
Speaker 1: and he's not on the Summer Slam card this weekend,
Speaker 1: which is a little weird, and he's going through all
Speaker 1: this stuff and how unhappy and frustrated he is, and
Speaker 1: the bloodline's being held down in all this, and I'm thinking,
Speaker 1: you know, it didn't hit me, but I was talking
Speaker 1: about it. His son is in the main event on Saturday.
Speaker 1: Solo Socoa is challenging Cody Rhoades in the main event
Speaker 1: for the WWE title on that very show. I don't
Speaker 1: know that he said anything about that, certainly not in
Speaker 1: the segment that I saw before he pulled the podcast down.
Speaker 1: It was all about Jay and how upset he is.
Speaker 1: And it just hit me earlier and people were leaving comments,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, you know what, You're right, He's got
Speaker 1: another son who's in the main event of the show.
Speaker 1: He should be happy. He's so worried about yeat fucking
Speaker 1: so poor Solo sokoo over here, the fucking redheaded stepchild
Speaker 1: of the family. He's like, Dad, you do real, I'm
Speaker 1: in the main event, right? Why won't he love me? Man?
Speaker 1: Why don't he love me? Backstage, Jackie Redman interviewed Zelina
Speaker 1: Vega in front of the Minnesota Wild locker room door,
Speaker 1: the very nice door, double doors. She was holding her
Speaker 1: injured arm, called herself a threat. Doesn't look like much
Speaker 1: of a threat to me. Sonya Deville, Shanea Basler and
Speaker 1: Zoe Stark showed up. Sonya said that they should show
Speaker 1: Vega what a threat really is, and Vega threw first
Speaker 1: through hands. She got out numbered very quickly, and Sonya
Speaker 1: and Zoe held Vega against the doors while Basler booted
Speaker 1: Vega's elbow, which caused her to crumble to the floor
Speaker 1: in pain. Poor Solo, Poor Solo man, the forgotten oose
Speaker 1: telling you, man, I could just picture Solo standing there
Speaker 1: like he thought he was making his father proud. Finally right,
Speaker 1: He's challenging for the title in the main event of SummerSlam,
Speaker 1: which is what Jay did last year, and it's still
Speaker 1: not good enough. What does this man have to do
Speaker 1: to get over with his father? Kathy Kelly interviewed the
Speaker 1: Miz who announced that he would be the host of
Speaker 1: SummerSlam because SummerSlam is in Cleveland, so he said that
Speaker 1: he would be the host of SummerSlam in his house
Speaker 1: of Cleveland. Our Truth showed up and was excited to
Speaker 1: hear that they brought back in your house, and mis
Speaker 1: tried to explain what he meant. No, it's not in
Speaker 1: your house, it's my house. He said, I thought you
Speaker 1: lived in California. He goes, no, well, I'm from Cleveland.
Speaker 1: And he's trying to explain this to Our Truth, who
Speaker 1: doesn't understand because you see in storyline, Our Truth is
Speaker 1: too stupid to understand. He's a little slow. This was
Speaker 1: supposed to be funny. This was just painfully bad. This
Speaker 1: was ww This is like when WWE we do those
Speaker 1: awful comedy segments every week that just were not funny,
Speaker 1: or they were funny to one man who isn't there anymore.
Speaker 1: This is just these art true. The segments are just
Speaker 1: they're played out. It's open move on. Speaking of played
Speaker 1: out and time to move on, that brings us to
Speaker 1: Xavier Woods against Carrion Cross, which is the very next
Speaker 1: segment here that Carrion Cross cut a promo in the
Speaker 1: ring before the match. Prior to this, when they came
Speaker 1: back from the break, they showed highlights from WWE's tour
Speaker 1: of Japan. They ran a couple of shows in Japan.
Speaker 1: This past weekend, Bailey defended her Women's Championship against Mako Sadamora,
Speaker 1: who announced that she's going to be retiring or the
Speaker 1: belief anyways, that she's going to be retiring next year.
Speaker 1: I think it's her thirty year in ring anniversary, so
Speaker 1: her career is winding down. But the fans in Japan
Speaker 1: were treated to that mat aj Styles against Shinsky Nakamora.
Speaker 1: So anyway, they were showing highlights from the tour and
Speaker 1: apparently Kofi Kingston returned on that tour. So Cross said
Speaker 1: he heard that Kofe got reinjured on the tour and
Speaker 1: he asked Xavier Woods if he really believes that that's
Speaker 1: the reason why Kofe isn't here tonight. He says, Kofe
Speaker 1: isn't here tonight because the world doesn't revolve around him.
Speaker 1: This is all about Xavier Woods tonight. It's not about Kofe,
Speaker 1: and so therefore he doesn't care that plus he doesn't
Speaker 1: want to get caught dead in a hell hole like Minnesota.
Speaker 1: He also said he wanted to tell Kofe. He was
Speaker 1: hoping that Kofe would be there so he would tell
Speaker 1: him that he should have retired after he lost the
Speaker 1: WWE title in six seconds.
Speaker 2: Actually it was eight seconds, not to be uh too
Speaker 2: anal about it, but it was eight seconds, not six seconds.
Speaker 1: But man, what a missed opportunity? Am I the only
Speaker 1: one sitting here thinking like what a missed opportunity? This
Speaker 1: was you and carry and Cross. You put a microphone
Speaker 1: in Carrying Cross's hand the same night that Jesse Ventura
Speaker 1: is in the building, and you don't have him make
Speaker 1: reference to the Baja. What are we doing here? Like
Speaker 1: Jesse is in the building. Nobody does a better Jesse
Speaker 1: Ventura impression that I've ever heard than Carry and Cross.
Speaker 1: I Will Sasso, Will Sasso's up there with him. But
Speaker 1: Carrie and Cross does this amazing impression of Jesse Ventura,
Speaker 1: and you put a microphone in his hand. The same
Speaker 1: night Jesse is in the venue and you don't have
Speaker 1: him mention the Baja, or have Jesse come out and
Speaker 1: do a segment with the two of them like that
Speaker 1: would have been entertaining. I was begging to be entertained
Speaker 1: on this show tonight. They had the chance to. It
Speaker 1: was right there, and they didn't do it. I can't
Speaker 1: believe it. So anyway, during this match, at one point point,
Speaker 1: Cross yelled at Woods and called him the worst King
Speaker 1: of the Ring of all time, which is not possible
Speaker 1: in a world where King Mabel once existed. Woods was
Speaker 1: making his comeback. ACoM was on the outside. He gave
Speaker 1: him a cheap shot behind the referees back. Woods ended
Speaker 1: up taking out Akom with a dive, and then he
Speaker 1: avoided a charge by Razar, who ran into the ring post.
Speaker 1: Cross dodged the diving elbow attempt by Xavier Woods, and
Speaker 1: then hit the final prayer for the win. I have
Speaker 1: a prayer. Can we all get together and pray for
Speaker 1: the end of this program. That's my final prayer. This
Speaker 1: was a flat match with a flat finish, and this
Speaker 1: just continues to drag every single week now. The comment
Speaker 1: about Kofe being re injured on the Japanese tour, I
Speaker 1: didn't take that as anything seriously because I don't think
Speaker 1: Kofe was injured to begin with. It was a storyline
Speaker 1: injury as far as I know, so I don't think
Speaker 1: Kofe is actually injured, and I sure as hell hope not,
Speaker 1: because if he is, all that's going to do is
Speaker 1: drag this out even longer, and that's something that none
Speaker 1: of us need to see. We had another pre taped promo.
Speaker 1: This one was a pre taped It looked like out
Speaker 1: in the parking lot because you saw the trucks in
Speaker 1: the background. Either that or they taped it last week,
Speaker 1: because I don't think we saw liv Morgan on the
Speaker 1: show other than this, and maybe she wasn't there, but
Speaker 1: it was a pre tape promo with Live Morgan outside
Speaker 1: the arena dumping photos of Dominic Bisterio into a burning
Speaker 1: trash can and also t shirts like the Rhea and
Speaker 1: Dom You Dirty dom t shirt, throwing it into the
Speaker 1: burning trash can. She said dom was not a man,
Speaker 1: He was just Rhea Ripley's bitch. She regretted, and she
Speaker 1: had tears coming down her face. She says she regretted
Speaker 1: every tear that she has ever shed over him. She
Speaker 1: would complete her revenge tour when she beats Rhea Ripley
Speaker 1: and then leave Dominic with whatever is left of her
Speaker 1: hell half no fury, like a woman's scorn less. Of course,
Speaker 1: it's all just the ruse. We'll find out on Saturday.
Speaker 1: That's what I'm thinking. Sammy's Ain one on one with
Speaker 1: Dominic mysterio. This was not for the Intercontinental title. Carlito
Speaker 1: and JD. McDonough they ran out. Dominic used the distraction
Speaker 1: to roll up Sammy for a two count. Sam Carlito
Speaker 1: and McDonough off the apron. Dominic used that distraction to
Speaker 1: drop kick him into the ropes. He went for a
Speaker 1: six to one nine. He did not get it. Zay
Speaker 1: hit a blue thunderbomb and had Dominic pin but the judgment.
Speaker 1: They dove into the ring to break it up and
Speaker 1: attack Sammy for the disqualification. Did they actually think he
Speaker 1: was going to win with the blue thunderbomb? Did these
Speaker 1: people even watch the fucking show? I think I've seen
Speaker 1: Sammy's ain win one match with a blue thunderbomb, maybe two,
Speaker 1: in all the years he's been in WWA. I don't
Speaker 1: know what they had to dive in the ring for.
Speaker 1: They should have known him better. The match wasn't going
Speaker 1: to end there, so they're putting the boots to Sammy.
Speaker 1: Until jay Usa runs out. Look at this another segment
Speaker 1: with Jay Uso man, he's all over the show, ran
Speaker 1: out to make the same. Jay wiped him all out
Speaker 1: with a dive, and then bron Breaker from out of
Speaker 1: nowhere blasted Sammy Zain from behind. He went for a spear.
Speaker 1: Zaane booted him right in the face, which looked great.
Speaker 1: Sammy went for a halluva kick, Bron bailed out of
Speaker 1: the ring. Sammy turned his back, so Bron slid back
Speaker 1: into the ring to go after him, but when he
Speaker 1: got to his feet, Zay saw him coming kicked him again.
Speaker 1: Bron was supposed to go out over the top rope.
Speaker 1: He didn't make it. He was trying to throw himself
Speaker 1: out over the top rope. Sammy was trying to get
Speaker 1: him over and they were having a rough time. He
Speaker 1: just he was not going over that top rope and
Speaker 1: so finally Sammy shoved him out and out he went.
Speaker 1: So yeah, that was that was rough, but again just
Speaker 1: more of the same. We've already seen this over these
Speaker 1: last few weeks. It was a pre tape bron Breaker
Speaker 1: promo on this show. It was good, But as far
Speaker 1: as the interaction with these two, we've seen this already.
Speaker 1: How many weeks in a row were we gonna see
Speaker 1: the same thing over and over again? That's what I mean.
Speaker 1: It's like they just kind of ran out of gas.
Speaker 1: It's like there's only so many things they could do
Speaker 1: short of a contract signing, right, It's like they did.
Speaker 1: It's like they didn't know what to do, and so
Speaker 1: we'll just run the same angle again. We got another
Speaker 1: Wyat six therapy video and they didn't even bother doing
Speaker 1: the VHS handoff this time. They just threw it to
Speaker 1: the latest VHS tape. I guess the truck already had it.
Speaker 1: And like the Nikki Cross one that we got, I
Speaker 1: guess that was last week. There wasn't much to it.
Speaker 1: These are these are just now meant to be creepy
Speaker 1: and there's no substance to them. And that's not what
Speaker 1: I wanted to see when I said, when I saw
Speaker 1: that first video and I said, Wow, this is this
Speaker 1: is good stuff here. So we had two of them
Speaker 1: with Bo Dallas. The one with Eric Rowan was actually
Speaker 1: kind of emotional, you know, listening to him talk about
Speaker 1: the brothers that he's lost and how he was basically
Speaker 1: a lost soul and so that was kind of deep,
Speaker 1: and I know that's, you know, largely because Bo Dallas
Speaker 1: and Eric Rowan obviously had a close connection to bray
Speaker 1: Wyatt for very different reasons. The other members of the
Speaker 1: group really don't. But still, I was hoping we would
Speaker 1: get more videos like that to just peel back some
Speaker 1: more layers to the characters and just get a little
Speaker 1: more insight into the how and the why and if
Speaker 1: there's a story behind each of them. And it's pretty
Speaker 1: clear to me that there isn't. You know. We'll see
Speaker 1: if they do one for Joe Gacy, but there's just
Speaker 1: no substance there. It's just meant to be creepy and
Speaker 1: there's just nothing to it. So here this one was
Speaker 1: for Dexter Loomis. We heard Uncle Howdy off camera speaking,
Speaker 1: look at what you've become. Tell Howdy brother, tell him
Speaker 1: what should they do? When the buzzer start circling and
Speaker 1: we see Loomis and he shouts run and that was it.
Speaker 1: So backstage live, Chad Gable is with the Creeds. Chad
Speaker 1: Gable is standing there with Adam Pearce as well, and
Speaker 1: he informs Adam Pierce, I know the identities of the
Speaker 1: Wyatt six members. He name dropped Eric Rowan and Dexter
Speaker 1: Loomis and Joe Gacy, no mention of Nicky Cross. Adam
Speaker 1: Pierce goes, yeah, I know they're under contract. It's like,
Speaker 1: oh okay. So Gable said under contract, Well, that means
Speaker 1: that they can compete. So he challenged them to a
Speaker 1: six man tag team match on Raw next Monday, and
Speaker 1: Pierce made it official. So it is now official. No
Speaker 1: SummerSlam match for Uncle Howdye and Chad Gable. There was
Speaker 1: a thought that maybe they would announce something this week
Speaker 1: after how he dropped them with a sister Abigail last week.
Speaker 1: I'm surprised, if only because I figured that they would
Speaker 1: want to do the Wyatt six entrance. They would want
Speaker 1: to give them the big entrance treatment in the big stadium,
Speaker 1: you know, at Summer Slim. So that's why I thought
Speaker 1: we would get a match for them, or for Howdy
Speaker 1: at least on the show against Gable. But they've already
Speaker 1: got seven matches, and seven matches is enough for Triple
Speaker 1: h And you know what, seven matches is enough for
Speaker 1: me too. I don't need more than that. I'm fine
Speaker 1: with them saving some of these matches for TV. You
Speaker 1: know why because the show is three hours long. This
Speaker 1: show is three hours long, and tonight I felt every
Speaker 1: bit of those three hours. So I don't have an
Speaker 1: issue with them holding some matches back, some big matches back,
Speaker 1: so we can get them on TV. Otherwise, what are
Speaker 1: we left with? We're gonna be left with more shows
Speaker 1: like the one we got tonight. I don't want that.
Speaker 1: Got to give me some big matches. We got another
Speaker 1: pre tape promo from the back with Rhea Ripley to
Speaker 1: respond to Live Morgan. She was holding a single black rose.
Speaker 1: She said that Live Morgan wants to break and burn
Speaker 1: things that don't belong to her. She said, Morgan so
Speaker 1: badly wants to be the victim in her revenge tour fantasy.
Speaker 1: She said that she warned Live multiple times to stay
Speaker 1: out of her business, which is why she injured Live's
Speaker 1: shoulder last year. She said Live took three months of
Speaker 1: her career by injuring her shoulder and then took her championship.
Speaker 1: She said, Live try to manipulate her family. She will
Speaker 1: get her revenge at SummerSlam. Okay, then Sonya Deville, Zoe Stark,
Speaker 1: and Shane of Beisler against Lyra Valkyria, Caden Carter and
Speaker 1: Katana Chance. All you need to know here is that
Speaker 1: Zoe Stark hit Katana with the Z three sixty and
Speaker 1: pinned her to win the match. Fans did not seem
Speaker 1: to care much about this, and after the match, when
Speaker 1: Damage Control showed up and the announcers talked about their back,
Speaker 1: I thought to myself, when did they leave? How long
Speaker 1: have they been gone for a week? What do you
Speaker 1: mean they're back? You made it sound like they've been
Speaker 1: gone since WrestleMania. When Roman Reigns comes back on Saturday,
Speaker 1: you could say he's back. Damage Control? The fuck did
Speaker 1: they leave? And nobody cared about them either when they
Speaker 1: came out, no reaction for Damage Control. And part of
Speaker 1: the problem is I don't think the fans know what
Speaker 1: Damage Control is supposed to be. There was never any
Speaker 1: kind of turn their heels. But it seems to me
Speaker 1: like they want them now to come across as babyfaces.
Speaker 1: But what have they done to get the people to
Speaker 1: cheer for them? Like I think a lot of fans
Speaker 1: naturally like Eo Sky, so sometimes when Eo is out there,
Speaker 1: she'll get cheered anyway. But like Damage Control never did
Speaker 1: anything to suddenly become babyfaces. So they get this this
Speaker 1: very like tepid reaction when they come back. Nobody gave
Speaker 1: a shit when they came out tonight. They tried to.
Speaker 1: They tried to make it sound like some big return.
Speaker 1: They came out Eo Sky Kyrie saying, Dakota Kai. They
Speaker 1: quickly cleared the heels from the ring. Eo went up top,
Speaker 1: hit a moon salt onto all three of them on
Speaker 1: the floor. She came right down with her foot on
Speaker 1: top of Sonya's head. Geez. After this, in the back,
Speaker 1: Kathy Kelly interviewed Damage Control. EO and Kyrie said something
Speaker 1: in Japanese. Dakota said the Damage Control was back. Okay again,
Speaker 1: they're back, Kevin Kevin duds Beaver says back from catering Ah,
Speaker 1: they're back, everybody. She said, they're back, and they're here
Speaker 1: to re establish some order. And she challenged Sonya Deville
Speaker 1: to a match on Raw next week so she could
Speaker 1: cut the head off the snake. Okay, all right, there
Speaker 1: you go. Welcome back. Footage aired from earlier in the
Speaker 1: day of Gunther up in the stands, pacing back and
Speaker 1: forth in the empty arena, cutting a promo on Damian Priest.
Speaker 1: He said Priest took the easy way out for the
Speaker 1: second time in a row and said that he had
Speaker 1: the reaction last week of a weak man who has
Speaker 1: no self control, no control over his emotions. He said
Speaker 1: he has exposed Damian Priest as an emotional wannabe who
Speaker 1: abuses the business as a cure for his childhood trauma.
Speaker 1: Gunter turned his focus to tonight's main event and said
Speaker 1: he used to look up to Finnballe. He said, Balor
Speaker 1: right now is a tag team champion, but he was
Speaker 1: once destined for greater things. He said, Balor became street
Speaker 1: trash once he started hanging out with the Judgment Day
Speaker 1: and he looked forward to seeing how much of the
Speaker 1: old Finn Balor he could pull out. The fans will
Speaker 1: never forget the day that he saved the sport by
Speaker 1: winning the World Heavyweight Championship In the Judgment Day Clubhouse,
Speaker 1: we went back. Ripley told Finn Balor that they would
Speaker 1: have his back if he needed them during his match
Speaker 1: with Gunther. Damian Priest agreed with that. Balor said, look
Speaker 1: rear Ripley right. Rear Ripley. Damian Priest both of you
Speaker 1: want to go it alone at SummerSlam, so he feels
Speaker 1: he has to do the same thing here tonight. But
Speaker 1: he wondered if maybe they don't think he's good enough
Speaker 1: to handle Gunther. They said no, no, no, that's not what
Speaker 1: it is at all. Priest said he was just worried
Speaker 1: that Gunther would try something, and Balor said he would
Speaker 1: soften him up and it was Damien's job to finish
Speaker 1: him off at SummerSlam. And four years later we finally
Speaker 1: got Finn Balor and Walter for the first time ever
Speaker 1: in the ring together. It was in Minnesota, who was
Speaker 1: not in Dublin, so not quite the crowd reaction that
Speaker 1: they would have gotten had they had that match four
Speaker 1: years ago. What a what a fucking missed opportunity, man,
Speaker 1: What an atmosphere would have been Finn Balor coming to
Speaker 1: Dublin Wrestling Walter. I think that was going to be
Speaker 1: for the NXT United Kingdom Championship and we never got it.
Speaker 1: But we got it in Minnesota tonight in front of
Speaker 1: a crowd that did not deserve it. They went to
Speaker 1: a break ninety seconds in that's their usual formula. Baalor
Speaker 1: tried fighting back with chops, Gother chopped him down apply
Speaker 1: to Boston Crab, which he's won matches with before. Baalor
Speaker 1: got to the ropes late in the match. They exchanged
Speaker 1: chops and strikes until Balor hit a sling blade and
Speaker 1: then he hit a pair of standing double foot stumps.
Speaker 1: He hit a double foot stomp to the back and
Speaker 1: then he hit a shotgun drop kick. Gother avoided the
Speaker 1: double stomp off the top and he applied a sleeper hole.
Speaker 1: Balor would not go out, though, so Gunther hit a
Speaker 1: power bomb and then got a two count out of it.
Speaker 1: Goother again and applies the sleeper hold and Balor eventually
Speaker 1: goes out and the referee calls for the bell. Gunther
Speaker 1: is your winner heading into his championship match at Summer Slim.
Speaker 1: But when the match is over, he reapplies the sleeper
Speaker 1: hold and the referee is trying to get him off. Finally,
Speaker 1: Damian Priest runs out for the safe. He's swinging wildly,
Speaker 1: He's throwing haymakers. He throws Gunther over the announced desk.
Speaker 1: He's pummeling him on top of the announced desk, and
Speaker 1: he was just throwing him around and throwing shots as
Speaker 1: they went off the air. Probably a good sign for
Speaker 1: those of you who want Gunther to walk out of
Speaker 1: Summer Slam as the World heavyweight champion. The fact that
Speaker 1: when we left him tonight, he was getting his ass
Speaker 1: kicked by Damian Priest. Whether it's SummerSlam or whether it's Berlin,
Speaker 1: Damian Priest, I guarantee you is not getting out of
Speaker 1: the month of August with that World Heavyweight Championship. I
Speaker 1: don't think he's getting out of Cleveland with the World
Speaker 1: Heavyweight Championship. I think he goes down this Saturday. For
Speaker 1: all to talk about Damian Priest wanting to go it alone,
Speaker 1: goother beating Finn Balor tonight and then doing what he
Speaker 1: did when the match was over and reapplying the sleeper hole,
Speaker 1: kind of adding insult to injury. That could give Finn
Speaker 1: Balor a reason to get involved in this match. Even
Speaker 1: though Priest said I want to go it alone. It
Speaker 1: could give him a reason to come out and get
Speaker 1: involved in that match on Saturday, and it ends up
Speaker 1: costing Priest the title. Could very well go down that way.
Speaker 1: Now there's an alternative scenario where maybe Balor gets involved
Speaker 1: and he costs Gunther the title. Some kind of a
Speaker 1: disqualification finish. Gother's not happy with him, Priest is not
Speaker 1: happy with him, but he lives to fight another day
Speaker 1: as the World heavyweight champion. And we end up somehow
Speaker 1: with a triple threat match in Berlin, and you save
Speaker 1: the Gunther title win for Berlin instead of him going
Speaker 1: in there as the defending champion. I'm of the mindset
Speaker 1: that he'll be going in as the defending champion, but
Speaker 1: again maybe they push it off until then we get
Speaker 1: a triple threat match, which would not be a bad
Speaker 1: match as a first time ever match. Here tonight with
Speaker 1: these two, I enjoyed it, not nearly as much as
Speaker 1: I would have if they had more time, no commercials,
Speaker 1: a better crowd, better atmosphere for it. These two absolutely
Speaker 1: need to have a pl match one day, whether it's
Speaker 1: a singles match or a triple threat match. They need
Speaker 1: to have time to go out there on a bigger show,
Speaker 1: have more time and really just let loose and don't
Speaker 1: hold back and let the focus be more on them,
Speaker 1: because again, this wasn't about Goonther and Finn Balor. The
Speaker 1: story is Goother and Damian Priest and Finn Balor was
Speaker 1: just out there as a member of the Judgment Day,
Speaker 1: so it never felt like that was even really the
Speaker 1: focus of this main event tonight. Hopefully when it happens again,
Speaker 1: if we get a one on one match between them,
Speaker 1: maybe next year at some point Baler maybe he'll be
Speaker 1: a baby face again at that point and he'll be
Speaker 1: challenging Gunther for Gunther's World Heavyweight Championship. That I would
Speaker 1: like to see. So, you know, good stuff here, but
Speaker 1: nothing more than that. Everything else on this show is
Speaker 1: just very paint by numbers. As I said at the
Speaker 1: very beginning, it was just filler to get us to SummerSlam,
Speaker 1: which I cannot wait for, just because I'm just ready
Speaker 1: for SummerSlam. You know, I'm ready to get these matches done.
Speaker 1: I'm ready to get these stories forwarded so we can
Speaker 1: get to the next chapter and we can move on
Speaker 1: to the next story, the next phase of these stories
Speaker 1: with the bloodline. Get Roman reinsback, Let's move to the
Speaker 1: next phase of the story so we don't get constant
Speaker 1: beatdowns every single week for another Monthria and Live. Let's
Speaker 1: find out where Dominic stands and what happens with him
Speaker 1: on Saturday. Does he betray Rhea Ripley as I think
Speaker 1: he will. That will certainly take that story in another direction.
Speaker 1: I expect Live Morgan is not losing that World Heavyweight
Speaker 1: Championship on Saturday, CM Punk and Drew McIntire. This has
Speaker 1: been building since January. Seth Rollins is involved. We know
Speaker 1: he's going to factor into the finish. Depending on who
Speaker 1: gets fucked over in the end that it should be Punk.
Speaker 1: That throws another wrinkle into things and we'll see what
Speaker 1: the match ends up being in Berlin, because I think
Speaker 1: the endgame here is McIntyre and Punk inside the cell
Speaker 1: that's in October. What do we do to get there?
Speaker 1: How are we getting there? Bailey Naya Jacks WWE Women's Championship.
Speaker 1: I talked about that on the podcast as well on
Speaker 1: what I think is going to go down there. Tiffany Stratton,
Speaker 1: is she going to cash in money in the bank?
Speaker 1: If so, is it going to be successful? La Knight
Speaker 1: and Logan Paul. I don't think we're getting the US
Speaker 1: title change. A lot of people think that we're going
Speaker 1: to get one. I think I'm in the minority on that.
Speaker 1: Is this finally going to be La Knight's times? You're
Speaker 1: finally going to get a title here on the main roster. Right.
Speaker 1: There's a lot going on on this show, But the
Speaker 1: number one thing when that show is over on Saturday
Speaker 1: that I expect to be the dominant story, the dominant
Speaker 1: takeaway from the show. It's going to drown everything else out.
Speaker 1: Is going to be the return of Roman Raigns. I
Speaker 1: expect that to be the biggest thing on the show.
Speaker 1: I don't expect it until the very end of the show.
Speaker 1: It may literally just be his music. He comes out,
Speaker 1: he stares, and that's it. But I think that will
Speaker 1: be the parting image that we get at the end
Speaker 1: of the show on Saturday. And who knows, you know,
Speaker 1: maybe he does, you know, have a little tussle with
Speaker 1: Solo Socoha. Maybe the final shot is of Roman and Cody.
Speaker 1: Not that we're necessarily going to get a rematch between
Speaker 1: them right now, but you know, kind of a look
Speaker 1: between them. But that's how I expect that show to
Speaker 1: close on Saturday. So I am looking forward to summer, slim.
Speaker 1: I don't want to make it sound like I'm not
Speaker 1: looking forward to it. I am, But man, this was
Speaker 1: a tough show to sit through tonight. What did you
Speaker 1: think of the raw before SummerSlam sixty seven percent thumbs up,
Speaker 1: thirty three percent thumbs down from you guys. You can
Speaker 1: vote at Solo Monster on Twitter. Hey Mohammed in the
Speaker 1: chat says a happy Monday on a late Monday night.
Speaker 1: I hope you are doing well and same with everyone
Speaker 1: here in the chat. That's very kind to you, Mohammad.
Speaker 1: I hope you are doing well also, I am doing great.
Speaker 1: That's it. There you go, short and sweet. You can tell.
Speaker 1: Not the most exciting episode of Raw tonight, but let's
Speaker 1: get to your super chats here and again keep hitting
Speaker 1: that leg button. We're a ways off of our goal.
Speaker 1: This may not be a be the Booker night. It's
Speaker 1: now looking good. Not looking good all right? Shout out
Speaker 1: to my boy, the real CSO two dropping a pair
Speaker 1: of superchats. Had trouble at first listening to the podcast
Speaker 1: last night. Apparently he had internet issues. Well, I'm glad
Speaker 1: that your internet issues have been worked out, and I
Speaker 1: hope you got the podcast downloaded and listened to. I
Speaker 1: covered a lot of stuff. Smoking Dried Chicken with the
Speaker 1: five dollars says, please send Sonia to Ville to NXT
Speaker 1: needs new material. I just hope she didn't get her
Speaker 1: bell rung when EO came down on that moon sawt
Speaker 1: my cat is a demon. I know I'm in the minority.
Speaker 1: I'm dreading a long gnther title reign. I cannot stand him.
Speaker 1: I acknowledge that he is great in the ring, but
Speaker 1: his entire character has just changed the channel go away
Speaker 1: with me. I don't think that our cat friend here
Speaker 1: is gonna be very happy for the next several months, because,
Speaker 1: whether you like it or not, he's gonna end up
Speaker 1: with that World Heavyweight championship. I'm not expecting him, though,
Speaker 1: to have a run like he had with the Intercontinental
Speaker 1: timee like I could see him winning it on Saturday
Speaker 1: and dropping it a wrestle. Maybe. I don't think we're
Speaker 1: gonna necessarily get a year or year and a half.
Speaker 1: I don't think we have to. But do I think
Speaker 1: he's gonna win and hold on to it for many months? Yes?
Speaker 1: I do. I don't think there's really a whole hell
Speaker 1: of a lot you're gonna be able to do about it,
Speaker 1: so you'd better get used to it. Smoking dried Chicken says,
Speaker 1: I wish Carmelo Hayes and Jay Usso were feuding on
Speaker 1: Raw Mello versus Yeat would be exciting. Hashtag trade Mellow
Speaker 1: to Raw. They could do trades with the gms anytime
Speaker 1: they want to. I would like to see some trades
Speaker 1: throughout the year, you know, spread them out a little bit.
Speaker 1: But Carmelo Hayes to Raw. I don't know that they
Speaker 1: want Hayes and Bron Breaker on the same brand. I
Speaker 1: think that could be part of it. I think they
Speaker 1: want to keep them separated. He also says WWE needs
Speaker 1: Roman the Rock and Becky Lynch back. Well, they definitely
Speaker 1: need Roman Reins back. I'll agree with that. Prince begeta
Speaker 1: ninety five. I hope after this feed with Punk is over,
Speaker 1: they keep McIntyre in a good spot, in a decent
Speaker 1: WrestleMania few and not another former WWE champion that's forgotten
Speaker 1: about like Bobby Lashley last year. Drew McIntyre has put
Speaker 1: the work in man. He is doing the best work
Speaker 1: of his career, and if they can't find something for
Speaker 1: him to do coming out of the Punk feed, then
Speaker 1: they're doing something wrong and they don't deserve him. So
Speaker 1: I agree. I hope they've got something good for him,
Speaker 1: because he's great and should not be on the back
Speaker 1: doing nothing nwol. Matt says, solo, the learning tree is
Speaker 1: here to teach you about the true meaning of life. Now,
Speaker 1: I think I'm good, Matt. Thank you. Smoking smoking Joe
Speaker 1: smoking dried chicken raw tonight is like eating a burger
Speaker 1: without cheese. I eat all my burgers without cheese. What
Speaker 1: is that supposed to be now? It would be like
Speaker 1: eating a burger without the bun. That's like the new
Speaker 1: thing now people, No bun? Really? Yeah, no, I'll have
Speaker 1: my hot dog without the bun. I'll have my burger
Speaker 1: without the bun. Unless there's like a medical reason for
Speaker 1: you not to have the bun. What the fuck are
Speaker 1: you doing? You have a burger on a bun, You
Speaker 1: don't put it on a plate and cut it up
Speaker 1: into little pieces. Jerome Eugenia, with nothing on the line
Speaker 1: for seth rollins, he can just screw over both men
Speaker 1: to set up a triple threat match. That's true, and
Speaker 1: I think it was a mistake, honestly for them not
Speaker 1: to acknowledge that there was a either some sort of
Speaker 1: edict that was put upon him by Adam Pierce, or
Speaker 1: that Adam Pierce maybe promised him something as long as
Speaker 1: he called the match right down the middle. I think
Speaker 1: that he should have done that, and now it's just like, nope,
Speaker 1: he made me the referee and I could just do
Speaker 1: whatever the hell I want. What sense does that make
Speaker 1: Adam Pearce is calling the shots. Would it not have
Speaker 1: made more sense for Seth Rollins to say, Okay, you
Speaker 1: want me to be the referee, I'll volunteer on one
Speaker 1: condition I get a World Heavyweight Championship match coming out
Speaker 1: of this. Adam Pierce could say, all right, sure you
Speaker 1: got your match, because you know, in a way, if
Speaker 1: you go back to money in the bank, it's not
Speaker 1: like Rolins lost Farren square right. He kind of got
Speaker 1: Dick out of a world title in a way. But
Speaker 1: now they didn't do anything like that, and I think
Speaker 1: that was a mistake. We got all this Dick and
Speaker 1: Balls is joining us tonight. I'm Ed Johnson should be
Speaker 1: the next WWE champion. I might agree with you, but
Speaker 1: you know i'm Ed Johnson. Well. I remember when he
Speaker 1: would have the microphone in his face and he would
Speaker 1: be cutting those promos and I didn't understand a fucking
Speaker 1: thing he used to say. But man, he was very
Speaker 1: intense when he said it. You knew he meant business.
Speaker 1: I just couldn't understand what he was saying. Ozen glorioas
Speaker 1: says Hi Solo Branch, I enjoyed watching Cringe Master Punk
Speaker 1: have his well deserved Jeb Bush Vance please clap moment
Speaker 1: on Socials Phil on his best behavior as a grateful
Speaker 1: fed employee, isn't it? Thanks guys, Well, it's the the
Speaker 1: PG punk. That's what we're getting on TV now, PG Punk.
Speaker 1: It was kind of embarrassing. I'm not gonna I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna lie that first time when he mentioned that the
Speaker 1: fans have been chanting my name for the last ten years,
Speaker 1: and he took a pause, Yeah, have like a handful
Speaker 1: of fans of the crowd, see I'm bunk. It was like,
Speaker 1: I don't think that's the reaction that he was hoping
Speaker 1: for spoken dried Chicken. I hate to say it, but
Speaker 1: Live Morgan is more fun than Rhea Ripley when it
Speaker 1: comes to the judgment day seconds well, because Rhea is
Speaker 1: always uh, she's she's like your mother, you know, like
Speaker 1: clean your room, did you do your homework? Why are
Speaker 1: you hanging out with your friends? She's like the mother
Speaker 1: hen of the group. Live Morgan is the one who's always,
Speaker 1: you know, dressing in the Daisy Dukes and laughing and
Speaker 1: leaving you her room card, jump in your bones? What's
Speaker 1: not to love? Of course, live Morgan is more fun.
Speaker 1: Smoking Dried Chicken says this Dried Chicken has a message
Speaker 1: for Triple H. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Speaker 1: Whatever is working, don't change it. I don't know what
Speaker 1: you're referring to there, Arabian Night. Wow. Know why it's
Speaker 1: six match at Summerslim. I thought we would get at
Speaker 1: least one sort of tag or tag title match on
Speaker 1: a show with seven singles matches. Tag division booking is shit,
Speaker 1: you know. I said it yesterday. I said three tag
Speaker 1: team titles in this company, Women's tag titles, Raw tag title,
Speaker 1: SmackDown tag titles, not one tag team title match is ridiculous.
Speaker 1: It really is. It really is ridiculous. Prince Begeta says
Speaker 1: Triple Ah should listen to Rakishi War. After all, he
Speaker 1: ran over Steve Austin for it. He did, I guess
Speaker 1: didn't he he did? Hoffenheim Blue Thunderbomb is a cool finisher,
Speaker 1: it is. I wish he would use it to finish
Speaker 1: off some of his matches with but they've established that
Speaker 1: it's just a setup move doesn't mean anything. Devin from
Speaker 1: New Jersey better uh better. Special guest referee Shawn Michaels
Speaker 1: or Steve Austin, Steve Boston. I mean Shawn Michaels as
Speaker 1: the special referee. The two main times I remember was
Speaker 1: SmackDown and he fucked over the Rock and then Judgment
Speaker 1: Day in the Ironman match where he made a terrible
Speaker 1: call and cost the Rock the w w EH. So, basically,
Speaker 1: when Shawn Michaels was the referee, he just kind of
Speaker 1: existed there to screw over the rock and he did
Speaker 1: a terrible job. Summer Slam ninety seven, he called it
Speaker 1: right down the middle until the finish and then he
Speaker 1: hit the wrong guy in the head with a chair.
Speaker 1: Sean Michaels was a terrible special guest referee, awful, horrendous.
Speaker 1: Remember what he did to poor Rob Conway. Probably wasn't
Speaker 1: Sewan a referee for that match on Raw, the whole
Speaker 1: May nineteen storyline, and he put the shirt on Rob
Speaker 1: Conway that had May nineteenth written all over it. I mean,
Speaker 1: Sean Michaels is a terrible referee Steve Austin, at least
Speaker 1: he stunned people. I'm gonna go Steve Austin the Magic
Speaker 1: I don't know how to pronounce that. I was gonna
Speaker 1: say Plumber, the Magic Plumber. We'll call him the Magic Plumber,
Speaker 1: says Solo. I love you. I need that. Jacob Fatudra
Speaker 1: see the Jacob fot to tweet earlier. Isaac Petrowski, WWE
Speaker 1: Vault should upload Dean Malenko against Mystico. You know, if
Speaker 1: you're not aware, wwee has a second YouTube channel that
Speaker 1: popped up a few months ago called WWE Vault, and
Speaker 1: it's just a bunch of old matches and they mix
Speaker 1: in some rare stuff too, and it's just the most
Speaker 1: random stuff. I mean, I think they had some dragon
Speaker 1: Gate or like dragon Gate USA stuff. They posted Once
Speaker 1: today was interesting because they had a cmpunk introduced the video.
Speaker 1: They found a dark match in the vault from two
Speaker 1: thousand and three and it was a tryout match and
Speaker 1: it was cm Punk and some other Jabron taking on
Speaker 1: the Road Warriors. So if you ever wanted to see
Speaker 1: cmpunk wrestle the Road Warriors in a WWE ring, you
Speaker 1: can go on that YouTube channel and watch it like
Speaker 1: a six minute video, and really it was a tryout
Speaker 1: match for both teams, which is wild to think that
Speaker 1: you would need to the Road Warriors would need to
Speaker 1: have a tryout match. They had a tryout match on
Speaker 1: Raw the night before. That's when they wrestled RVD and Kane.
Speaker 1: I think, unless my timeline is off, I think that
Speaker 1: was the match, and so I guess they brought them
Speaker 1: back the next night and they wrestled Punk and this
Speaker 1: other guy. I'm guessing it had more to do with
Speaker 1: Road Warrior Hawk to see if Hawk was in the
Speaker 1: right you know, frame of mind to maybe bring them back,
Speaker 1: which they ended up not bringing them back. But yeah,
Speaker 1: it was just wild to see Punk in the ring,
Speaker 1: wrestling Lod in a WWA ring. So but they've got
Speaker 1: some cool stuff. I mean, look, I mentioned it. I
Speaker 1: think a few weeks ago they uploaded two tryout dark
Speaker 1: matches that Takeshi Moorshima had I think back in two
Speaker 1: thousand and eight. So of course they gave him the
Speaker 1: fucking Orient Express music with the symbol and then you
Speaker 1: know the so he comes out and it's like just
Speaker 1: watching Morishima in his prime in a WWE ring. And
Speaker 1: I think the second match they posted of his actually
Speaker 1: got a pretty good reaction from the crowd when he won,
Speaker 1: but it never went anywhere and that was it. That
Speaker 1: was the last time he ever worked a match for them.
Speaker 1: But they've they've got some interesting stuff up on that channel.
Speaker 1: I've I've really been enjoying it. Like dry Chicken, what's
Speaker 1: going on? I'm ready for Seawn Michael's cookout on NXT. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I have fun with that. It is it gonna be
Speaker 1: dancing again with Sexy Red, trying to be cool, trying
Speaker 1: to rope in that younger demographic. Nick Grosso. If Damian
Speaker 1: Prees loses at SummerSlam, will Finn Balor costs him? Costing
Speaker 1: him lead to a priest in Balor feud. I don't
Speaker 1: see how we don't end up with a priest in
Speaker 1: Balor feud. So yeah, I would think it'll be another
Speaker 1: kind of link in the chain that gets us there.
Speaker 1: It may not get us there right away, but it's
Speaker 1: been building for a while now. Can they continue to
Speaker 1: build it and hold off until WrestleMania next year and
Speaker 1: do priest in valor of WrestleMania in Las Vegas? M
Speaker 1: I don't know. They might they might be inclined to though.
Speaker 1: Can't can't stand sexy red. I just made the comment.
Speaker 1: I don't know if she's been back or if last
Speaker 1: night I saw her she got into a fight. I
Speaker 1: think the last NXT show she did was Battleground right
Speaker 1: in Vegas at the UFC Apex, and they didn't know
Speaker 1: evidently when she worked the show that I guess the
Speaker 1: day before she had gotten into some kind of a
Speaker 1: fight at the airport. There was security video that TMZ
Speaker 1: really she got in like a brawl at the airport
Speaker 1: or something. I don't know. You never heard about Poppy
Speaker 1: having issues. You never heard about Poppy having run ins
Speaker 1: with the law or beating people senseless in the middle
Speaker 1: of an airport. Why did they stop using Poppy kind
Speaker 1: to bring back Poppy? Poppy is a safe choice. Plus,
Speaker 1: we got Jelly Donut coming to Summer Slam. He's going
Speaker 1: to be performing on Saturday. He's going to be singing
Speaker 1: a song, so or whatever whatever Jelly jelly Bean, I said,
Speaker 1: Jelly Donut kind of hungry right now? Now? What jelly
Speaker 1: Bean is going to be at Summer Slam on Saturday,
Speaker 1: going to be the special guest performing on the show.
Speaker 1: Poppy rule. See we got some Poppy fans here. Hashtag
Speaker 1: bring back Poppy? Uh, Mark Kwan? Is the NXT parking
Speaker 1: lot safe again? No? No, it is not. It is
Speaker 1: the most dangerous place in the world. Is the NXT
Speaker 1: parking lot? All right, before we get out of here,
Speaker 1: let's go ahead and uh we'll book some matches here.
Speaker 1: You guys just barely hit the goal tonight. So did
Speaker 1: I enjoy Swerve against the Amazing Red? I loved it.
Speaker 1: It was great and I got to be on the
Speaker 1: call for it. I got to call the AEW World
Speaker 1: Champion wrestling the Amazing Red on Friday night, forty eight
Speaker 1: hours after Swerve led his team to victory and blood
Speaker 1: and guts there he was. So yes, it was. It
Speaker 1: was a very very good match. If you missed it,
Speaker 1: you could pop over to Triller TV and watch it.
Speaker 1: It's great stuff. Is Damage Control in danger of growing stale?
Speaker 1: Are they in danger of growing stall? See? That would
Speaker 1: imply that they are not stale at the moment, Dude,
Speaker 1: I have I've had cereal that the expiration date is
Speaker 1: nine months past due. That was less stale than Damage Control.
Speaker 1: So it's not a matter of are they in danger
Speaker 1: of growing. Still, the danger is if you eat them,
Speaker 1: will you it's sick because of how stale they are.
Speaker 1: It's like bread that you keep out five days later.
Speaker 1: You look, it's got blue spots all over a green
Speaker 1: right green bread. You're not gonna eat that, which begs
Speaker 1: the question. By the way, while we're on the subject,
Speaker 1: be curious to get your feedback. Do you keep bread
Speaker 1: in the refrigerator or on the table. I've never refrigerated bread.
Speaker 1: I I've just never done it. And I do have
Speaker 1: bread that will sometimes very quickly go stale and it'll
Speaker 1: get moldy. But I've had people say, like putting it
Speaker 1: in the fridge, that's weird, But then other people say, no,
Speaker 1: of course you put it in the fridge. It'll last
Speaker 1: longer that way. I've never done it. So you guys,
Speaker 1: chime in and let me know, ponder that question and
Speaker 1: get back to me, you guys, let me know. In
Speaker 1: the meantime, let's be the booker. Ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 2: It is now time to be the booker.
Speaker 1: See we're already getting a lot of divided opinion on
Speaker 1: this question. Isn't what I'm talking about. I can't seem
Speaker 1: to get like there's no real consensus about this. It's
Speaker 1: such a weird thing. I guess there's just a matter
Speaker 1: of personal taste. I guess half of you guys say
Speaker 1: the table. Half of you guys say the fridge. I
Speaker 1: don't know. I may have to start putting it in
Speaker 1: the fridge, I guess. See. If it lasts longer, you
Speaker 1: just keep it out. If it looks like it's getting badge,
Speaker 1: throw it away. All right, Tag team, be the booker.
Speaker 1: We're gonna be get oh Man. You know I said
Speaker 1: his name before, and now I jinxed it. I mentioned
Speaker 1: King Mabel, and we end up with Men on a Mission,
Speaker 1: Mabel Mow and Oscar. They did have a badass wrap
Speaker 1: though for WrestleMania ten. It's still stuck in my head.
Speaker 1: I will say that was in nineteen ninety four, and
Speaker 1: I still have that song stuck in my head. Men
Speaker 1: on a Mission mom gotta be taking on the New
Speaker 1: Age Outlaws of Road Dog and Billy Gunn. Maybe if
Speaker 1: they had a singing contest, but as a wrestling match
Speaker 1: I have no interest in seeing. So we move on.
Speaker 1: We move on to the ladies. Grant says, say his name,
Speaker 1: and he appears I believe in Mabel. I believe in Mabel,
Speaker 1: you son of a bitch. We begin with Chelsea Green.
Speaker 1: Hearon Women's be the booker. Chelsea Green, Oh, bread Heart,
Speaker 1: the perfect person to ask this question to. In the chat,
Speaker 1: he says, I'm a baker solo, so listen to me
Speaker 1: and keep it in the fridge or in a place
Speaker 1: with not much exposure to air. Wow, so you're a baker,
Speaker 1: No wonder you're called bread Heart. Now it makes sense.
Speaker 1: That's amazing. Well there it is. That's it right there.
Speaker 1: He's a baker and he says, keep it in the fridge.
Speaker 1: I guess that's what we're gonna be doing from now on.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Bredheart. See bread Heart coming through with the answer.
Speaker 1: Chelsea Green against Lana Man, this is this is just
Speaker 1: not our night. This is just not our night tonight.
Speaker 1: Sometimes you have some winners and sometimes you have some losers.
Speaker 1: Tonight unfortunately feels like the latter. What an awful match.
Speaker 1: All right, mends be the book its main event time.
Speaker 1: It all comes down to this, and we have landed
Speaker 1: on triple threat. So we are going to book ourselves
Speaker 1: a triple threat match. All right? Three times? Here we
Speaker 1: go we're picking three super stars here in our main event.
Speaker 1: Superstar number one is The Rock. Finally we're turning things around.
Speaker 1: We've got the Rock, not just the Rock. That's Hollywood
Speaker 1: Rock right there. That's Hollywood Rock from two thousand and three.
Speaker 1: We only got two months of Hollywood Rock. That was
Speaker 1: not enough. All right, Hollywood Rock is one oh Man,
Speaker 1: the Giant Gonzales. The Giant Gonzales in the main event.
Speaker 1: This would be an automatic buzzer if it was a
Speaker 1: singles match, but because it is a triple threat match,
Speaker 1: you could have the Rock and the other person just
Speaker 1: take him out at the beginning of the match and
Speaker 1: he could lay on the floor outside or maybe you
Speaker 1: could you could handcuff him to the ropes. So this
Speaker 1: could be salvaged here. All right, we're not done yet.
Speaker 1: It's not a total loss, cause, all right, we could
Speaker 1: salvage this. The Rock, Giant Gonzales, and Miro in the
Speaker 1: main event. We actually landed on Miro and Lana in
Speaker 1: the same night. And being a booker, you know, I
Speaker 1: really thought we were going to be able to save it.
Speaker 1: We needed a big name, we needed a big star,
Speaker 1: and I really thought that we could We could salvage
Speaker 1: this and uh, and we didn't mirror who has spent
Speaker 1: more time outside of the ring while under contract to
Speaker 1: AW than actually in the ring. I've lost total interest,
Speaker 1: which is too bad because he had a good thing
Speaker 1: going there for a while when he was a TNT champion.
Speaker 1: And I just don't know what happened. I really don't.
Speaker 1: I don't know where it all went wrong with him.
Speaker 1: Oz Gloria says, you use a bread box, Yeah, I
Speaker 1: don't have one. I don't have a bread box. Smoking
Speaker 1: dried chicken says, what are your thoughts on Robert Downey
Speaker 1: Junior taking the role of Doctor Doom. I mentioned that
Speaker 1: at the top of the show yesterday, I said that
Speaker 1: it was a very wrestling esquay of introducing him. A
Speaker 1: comic con big reveal. Right, you bring up the Cohen's
Speaker 1: and then you bring him out, he's in the mask,
Speaker 1: pulls the mask off, everybody goes crazy. They made you
Speaker 1: think they were only going to talk about what was it,
Speaker 1: three three movies that I think you already basically knew about.
Speaker 1: They had already announced, and it was like, oh, what
Speaker 1: a lame panel. Right then they revealed the name of
Speaker 1: the next two Avengers Movies and then Doctor Doom is
Speaker 1: revealed and it's like, Wow, they swerved everybody. So I
Speaker 1: think it was cool the way they handled the reveal,
Speaker 1: but I just think it's fucking weird that you're gonna
Speaker 1: have Iron Man playing Doctor Doom. Anyway, thank you guys
Speaker 1: for hanging out with me. I will be back with
Speaker 1: you live one final stream for the month of July.
Speaker 1: July thirty first is Wednesday. We have the aw Dynamite
Speaker 1: stream coming off Blood and Guts, so I hope you
Speaker 1: will join me for that on Wednesday night, and then
