Speaker 1: Man, that ending. That ending was not good. That ending
Speaker 1: was not good at all. I'll tell you what, man,
Speaker 1: four weeks in a row, Sammy's Ain and the US
Speaker 1: Title Open Challenge has been the highlight of SmackDown for
Speaker 1: a month, and I actually am dreading the day that
Speaker 1: Sammy actually loses the championship because I don't know what
Speaker 1: this show is going to look like in the absence
Speaker 1: of these matches. But holy shit, I am not looking
Speaker 1: forward to that. Sammy's A and Javon Evans, that was
Speaker 1: the highlight of the night they were in Orlando. Javon Evans,
Speaker 1: of course, the twenty one year old phenom from NXT
Speaker 1: who is wrestling at No Mercy tomorrow night. He showed
Speaker 1: up and stepped up for the Open Challenge and had
Speaker 1: a great match, a banger of a match with Sammy's Ain.
Speaker 1: One of those matches that I think we'll look back
Speaker 1: on years from now as the first real breakout moment
Speaker 1: for him on the main roster, even though he's not
Speaker 1: officially on the main roster yet. I very much enjoyed
Speaker 1: that match. I wish I could say the same about
Speaker 1: the main event on this show, but I cannot. I
Speaker 1: cannot we had Tiffany Stratton, we had Jade car Gill,
Speaker 1: and we had Naya Jacks for the WWE Women's Championship.
Speaker 1: The winner would go on to meet Stephanie Viquier at
Speaker 1: Crown Jewel because they're doing these champion versus champion matches again,
Speaker 1: brand versus brand, and the only person in this match
Speaker 1: that really made sense was Tiffany Stratton, even though she's
Speaker 1: been undefeated this entire year and I'm already over this
Speaker 1: run and it's not even entirely her fault. The SmackDown
Speaker 1: Women's division sucks. There's no competition for her. It's boring.
Speaker 1: They desperately need some new faces in this division, calling
Speaker 1: up people, moving people over from Raw, whatever they need
Speaker 1: to do. The division is in dire straits right now.
Speaker 1: And Tiffany Stratton was the only name though that really
Speaker 1: made sense for the match with Stephanie. You're not gonna
Speaker 1: do Stephanie and Naya. You're not gonna do Stephanie and Jade,
Speaker 1: because Jade's not ready to be in that spot a match,
Speaker 1: And you know, I can't even say. I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: say the match was terrible. I don't think the match
Speaker 1: is as good as some of you were saying it is.
Speaker 1: I didn't think it was a great match at all
Speaker 1: as far as the main event goes. But it really
Speaker 1: fell apart towards the end and Jade car Gilt came
Speaker 1: up busted open because she ate the steps courtesy of
Speaker 1: Naya Jacks. Naya Jacks threw her into the steel steps
Speaker 1: and Jade got all of it, and she came up
Speaker 1: and she had a gash on her face. There's blood
Speaker 1: all over the floor, and from that moment on, the
Speaker 1: entire finish of this match, the entire finishing sequence of
Speaker 1: this match completely fell apart. And it wasn't it wasn't
Speaker 1: just that she got busted open. That was really just
Speaker 1: the beginning of it. But she gets busted open and
Speaker 1: she gets back in the ring with Naya, puts Naya
Speaker 1: down with one of her signature moves. Tiffany is supposed
Speaker 1: to break up the fall, but she's late, so Nya
Speaker 1: has to kick out and then Jade gets dropped. Kick
Speaker 1: Tiffany covers Naia. We're supposed to get a three count,
Speaker 1: and the referee counts one, and the referee counts two
Speaker 1: and Nya still laying there, shoulders flat on the mat
Speaker 1: and the referee holds up her count. I don't know
Speaker 1: what the referee was expecting. I don't know if she
Speaker 1: saw a ghost, I don't know, but she held up
Speaker 1: the count. The arena went silent. Tiffany had her back
Speaker 1: to her and she hears the silence of the crowd
Speaker 1: and is like, what's going on here? And you can
Speaker 1: see Nya look up and go what happened? And the
Speaker 1: referee is just It's one of those moments where I
Speaker 1: feel bad for the referee because put yourself in the
Speaker 1: referee's position here you realize in this moment you're on
Speaker 1: live television and you have fucked up the ending of
Speaker 1: this match, right, these three women. Whatever you thought of
Speaker 1: the match, and again I've seen much better smack Down
Speaker 1: main events than this, But whatever you think of the match,
Speaker 1: you never want to be in a position where you
Speaker 1: feel like you've ruined the match, right, and you're not
Speaker 1: even one of the combatants the match. I'm sure that
Speaker 1: she feels really badly about what happened. It looked awful.
Speaker 1: And so they sat there and they had to figure out, well,
Speaker 1: what do we do now? And the easiest thing, right,
Speaker 1: the path of least resistance was just have Tiffany go
Speaker 1: up and hit her moonsalt, and that's what she did,
Speaker 1: so she actually won with her finish and retained her championship.
Speaker 1: But in that instance, you've got to count the three
Speaker 1: and that was a Vince McMahon thing. I don't know
Speaker 1: if that's still the policy now in WWE, where you
Speaker 1: have to call it as a shoot. But that makes
Speaker 1: sense because when you're in a situation like this, and
Speaker 1: this is live TV. This is not like a house
Speaker 1: show match or something you're on television. It's the main
Speaker 1: event of the show. You only have so much time
Speaker 1: left before you go off the air. I don't know
Speaker 1: if she got lost. I don't know if there was
Speaker 1: a miscommunication somewhere. But if you see somebody on the
Speaker 1: mat and they don't kick out, that's on them. That's
Speaker 1: not your responsibility. So as the referee, it makes a
Speaker 1: lot of sense that you would count it as a shoot.
Speaker 1: And if the person doesn't get their shoulder up, if
Speaker 1: the person doesn't kick out fast enough, you blame the wrestler,
Speaker 1: you don't blame the referee. So again, I don't know
Speaker 1: what was going through her head. I don't know what
Speaker 1: the hell happened there, but it was a batchtastic finish
Speaker 1: to a triple threat main event. Now we know what
Speaker 1: the Crown Jewel title matches are going to be in
Speaker 1: Perth next month. I mentioned Sammy's ain his match with
Speaker 1: Javon Evans was the highlight of the night. Jacob Fatu
Speaker 1: is back, right. I'm trying to pull little positive pieces
Speaker 1: out of the show here. Jacob FA two is back.
Speaker 1: He's gonna be in a program now with Drew McIntyre,
Speaker 1: who we have to wait and see what happens here.
Speaker 1: I will be very surprised if it ends up with
Speaker 1: Drew McIntyre doing a one and done program with Cody Rhodes.
Speaker 1: It can't be one and done for Drew McIntyre. That
Speaker 1: would be completely ridiculous. But for the time being anyway,
Speaker 1: he is moving on to Jacob fa Tou. They set
Speaker 1: things up for a future match I would assume Perth,
Speaker 1: but future match between the two of them. So I
Speaker 1: was happy to see Jacob back. He's been in the
Speaker 1: Witness Protection program now for many many weeks, and beyond that.
Speaker 1: I don't really have a whole hell of a lot
Speaker 1: to say about this show. SmackDown for me continues to
Speaker 1: be a slog to sit through every single week. You
Speaker 1: could say that SmackDown this week was marginally better than
Speaker 1: it was last week. Cool, SmackDown is still not a
Speaker 1: great show. I'm still waiting for SmackDown to heat up
Speaker 1: again like it was a year ago. There was a
Speaker 1: period of time where SmackDown was actually the a show
Speaker 1: during the week, more so than Monday Nightraw. That, of course,
Speaker 1: is not the case right now. SmackDown, though, just feels
Speaker 1: like a very dead show. I think of all the
Speaker 1: WWE shows week to week, this is the one that
Speaker 1: feels the most empty. This is the one that feels
Speaker 1: the most dead right now. And the crowd didn't help.
Speaker 1: Crowd in Orlando obviously was very nonplus by a lot
Speaker 1: of what they saw on this show unless your name
Speaker 1: was Javon Evans or Sammy's Ain that they were very
Speaker 1: much into. But SmackDown for me, it just doesn't do much.
Speaker 1: That's why I keep talking about the US Title Open
Speaker 1: challenge of when it's over, what the fuck is this
Speaker 1: show going to look like? It has been consistently the
Speaker 1: highlight of the week every single week in many ways,
Speaker 1: just like the John Cena US Open Challenge was ten
Speaker 1: years ago. So when Sammy stood in the ring with
Speaker 1: Seena a month ago and said, look, out of respect,
Speaker 1: I want to ask your permission to bring back the
Speaker 1: US Title Open Challenge, I said, Man, if he can
Speaker 1: recapture even some of the magic of the one that's
Speaker 1: seen it did ten years ago, we're in for a treat.
Speaker 1: And it's been a huge net positive for this show
Speaker 1: because there's not a whole lot else going on to
Speaker 1: really get you excited on Friday nights. Thank God for
Speaker 1: the US Title Open Challenge. I never thought I would
Speaker 1: be sitting here lavishing all of this praise on an
Speaker 1: open challenge, as if we don't get enough of those
Speaker 1: these days. But what would we do on Fridays without it?
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't want to know. We'll talk
Speaker 1: about this SmackDown show. It is Friday night, September twenty sixth,
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five. I am the Solomons. Yes, Knackamora, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna mention Nakamura. Oh my goodness, Jay is on another planet.
Speaker 1: I see in the chat like and subscribe super chats
Speaker 1: are open. Let me know what you thought of this
Speaker 1: SmackDown show. Let me know if I'm right or wrong,
Speaker 1: you chime in, we'll read your messages a little bit
Speaker 1: later on. Thank you guys for all of the support
Speaker 1: this week, Chattel members, all of our new channel members
Speaker 1: as well. Shout out to all of you you know
Speaker 1: who wasn't on the show tonight, Corey Graves. Corey Graves
Speaker 1: got murdered by Brockelesner on the show last week. Michael
Speaker 1: Cole said he's going to be gone for a couple
Speaker 1: of weeks and in his place on this show tonight,
Speaker 1: we had Booker T loaned over from NXT, so we
Speaker 1: had Michael Cole and Booker T on the call. Booker T.
Speaker 1: We didn't get any Devil's kisses, but Stephanie was technically
Speaker 1: on the show tonight, so Bookers should be uh kind
Speaker 1: of pleased with that. I'm sure he's missed Stephanie's presence
Speaker 1: on NXT. So they gave us a wrestle Palooza recap.
Speaker 1: The less set about that show, the better it is.
Speaker 1: In the rear view after that, Paul Hayman was in
Speaker 1: the ring. He said that he would paraphrase a pseudo
Speaker 1: de facto secondary champion and ask, so Orlando, what do
Speaker 1: you want to talk about. Hayman asked if we would
Speaker 1: like to talk about the World heavyweight champion seth rollins.
Speaker 1: I can answer that question, no fans chanted OTC. Hayman
Speaker 1: says he would love to talk about Roman reigns, but
Speaker 1: it's disrespectful to speak of the injured after he got
Speaker 1: stretchered out of Paris, So he asked if maybe we
Speaker 1: should talk about the man who will main event WrestleMania
Speaker 1: and carry this company through the twenty thirties and possibly
Speaker 1: even the twenty forties if we make it that far,
Speaker 1: Bron Breaker. Hayman then turned him, by the way, how
Speaker 1: much Bronson Reid feel after every time he makes these
Speaker 1: comments about bron Breaker and how he's the future? Right,
Speaker 1: Bron's the future. He's gonna headline five or ten wrestle Manias.
Speaker 1: Like at some point Bronton Reid is gonna have to
Speaker 1: turn to Hayman and go, hey, I'm standing right here,
Speaker 1: what about me? How come I can't headline WrestleMania. Maybe
Speaker 1: that'll be the impetus one day for him to turn
Speaker 1: and leave the Vision because he's sick and tired of
Speaker 1: Hayman putting over Breaker and not putting over him with
Speaker 1: the same level of respect. I mean, the man is
Speaker 1: standing right there. How much older is he than bron Breaker.
Speaker 1: He can't be that much older. He could headline a
Speaker 1: wrestle Conceivably, he could headline a WrestleMania himself one day.
Speaker 1: I know it's a lot less likely, but it's at
Speaker 1: least possible. Haman then turned his attention to the conspiracy
Speaker 1: theories and all the rumors about brock Lesner. Before he
Speaker 1: could go on further, Cody Roads Music cut him off
Speaker 1: and out comes the WWEE Champion comes to the ring
Speaker 1: and he asks if we've all had a chance to
Speaker 1: watch the Wressell Paloozer recap. He said that he made
Speaker 1: a mistake last week in calling Paul Hayman a goon.
Speaker 1: He called Hayman the smartest man he knows, and he
Speaker 1: would go ahead and ask the question, tell me about
Speaker 1: brock Lesner. And then he asked for the truck to
Speaker 1: show the evidence, and they threw up a still shot
Speaker 1: from Brock's introduction that Hayman gave to him at Wressell Polooza,
Speaker 1: and in the shot, Brock has got a big smile
Speaker 1: on his face and Hayman's got a big smile on
Speaker 1: his face. Cody said, he knows brock Lesner. Does that
Speaker 1: look Does that look like the face of someone if
Speaker 1: it was a one night thing? He asked, am I
Speaker 1: talking to an oracle? Am I talking to a wise man?
Speaker 1: Or am I talking to an advocate? Hayman said, Cody
Speaker 1: was talking to a goat, not an elephant, not a cow,
Speaker 1: not a zebra, not a sheep, not a monkey. He
Speaker 1: was talking to a goat. And as the greatest of
Speaker 1: all time, he respects the fact that Cody is confronting
Speaker 1: him about brock Lesner, because Cody knows that when brock
Speaker 1: Lesner is here, everyone is in danger. And at that moment,
Speaker 1: bron Breaker and Bronson Reid they appeared at ringside. They
Speaker 1: came out of the crowd into the ring, and Haymond said,
Speaker 1: Lesner isn't here. But what makes Cody think he isn't
Speaker 1: in danger right now? Cody says, he keeps hearing how
Speaker 1: dangerous these two men are, that they're going to inherit
Speaker 1: all of this. Breaker, He'll bet that Hayman tells him
Speaker 1: he's a future wrestle many, a main inventor, and Reed
Speaker 1: he probably tells you the same thing. Actually he doesn't,
Speaker 1: not that we've heard on TV. I've never heard Paul
Speaker 1: Hayman say that about Bronson Reed on TV. Maybe he
Speaker 1: tells him that backstage. But Cody is trying to point
Speaker 1: out that whatever he's telling you, he's probably telling you.
Speaker 1: He's telling you what you want to hear. He's making
Speaker 1: you sound special and making you feel like you're one
Speaker 1: of one, But in reality he's saying the same thing
Speaker 1: to the both of you. This man cannot be trusted.
Speaker 1: You cannot take what he says seriously. And he says,
Speaker 1: I grew up the son of a booker. I bet
Speaker 1: he was gonna say the son of a plumber, but
Speaker 1: that was his father said. He grew up the son
Speaker 1: of a booker, grew up around people like Hayman. He
Speaker 1: saw Vern, he saw Bill Watts as some of the
Speaker 1: fans in the crowd, No doubt, go who Vern Troyer?
Speaker 1: Who's he talking about? Bill Watts? Bill? What makes me sad?
Speaker 1: It makes me sad how many people were in this
Speaker 1: crowd tonight who probably have no idea who he was
Speaker 1: referring to. But that's just the way it is now right,
Speaker 1: That's the audience they're cultivating, especially with these ticket prices.
Speaker 1: You think these people paying these exorbitant amounts of money
Speaker 1: know or have a shit who Paul Bosh was. Of
Speaker 1: course not, of course not. They don't care. They don't know,
Speaker 1: they don't care. They just want to see Stephanie Vacier,
Speaker 1: and they want to see Rhea Ripley, and they want
Speaker 1: a chant for Mommy. That's what they want. That's wrestling
Speaker 1: fans in twenty twenty five. But he said he saw
Speaker 1: it all and he could always tell why they were
Speaker 1: doing it. The vern gun is in the Bill Watts, right,
Speaker 1: you can always tell why they were doing the things
Speaker 1: they do. With Hayman, no one has figured him out yet.
Speaker 1: Who is Paul Haman loyal to? One thing is for sure,
Speaker 1: it ain't you. So bron Breaker got very upset and
Speaker 1: he ripped his shirt off. So Cody took his jacket off,
Speaker 1: he took his watch off. He says, it looks like
Speaker 1: you boys want to fight. Huh. Probably not a good
Speaker 1: decision of my part, but what the hell? And he
Speaker 1: starts throwing shots. So Cody had Reid hooked for a
Speaker 1: crossroads Breaker though took him down. So now it's two
Speaker 1: on one and they're stomping him and we hear voices
Speaker 1: in our head because here comes Randy Orton. I actually
Speaker 1: was hoping that maybe this would be the moment that
Speaker 1: Jacob Foughtu would come out, and maybe it would set
Speaker 1: up a TV main event. We didn't get Jacob Fattu here.
Speaker 1: We got him later, we got Randy ort He comes
Speaker 1: down to the ring. Before he could even get into
Speaker 1: the ring, Bronson Reid exits, tries to cut him off
Speaker 1: in the aisleway, and Orton puts him down. Now he's
Speaker 1: in the ring, he sets his sights on bron Breaker.
Speaker 1: He goes for an RKO, but he gets shoved off.
Speaker 1: But he gets shoved off right into Bronson Reid and
Speaker 1: gives Red an RKO instead. And that was pretty much
Speaker 1: the end of the segment. Right there, the Vision were
Speaker 1: scrambling for their lives out of the ring, and it
Speaker 1: was Orton and Cody left alone inside the ring, and
Speaker 1: I thought maybe they were setting up a tag team
Speaker 1: main event. Didn't occur to me that they were going
Speaker 1: to close the show with the women. I thought, maybe
Speaker 1: they'll you do that match at the top of the
Speaker 1: second hour or something. But that was our main event.
Speaker 1: We're gonna get a tag team match, I feel that way,
Speaker 1: Cody and Randy against the Vision. It's not going to
Speaker 1: be Crown Jewel obviously, but that could be a SmackDown
Speaker 1: main event I would. I don't know about next week
Speaker 1: or the week after, but it feels like a match
Speaker 1: we're gonna get very soon, you know. He mentioned brock Lesner.
Speaker 1: Fightful is saying that Brock is not due back on
Speaker 1: TV for a while, which I'm fine with, let him
Speaker 1: take another vacation. But it actually felt like they were
Speaker 1: teasing Cody possibly defending his championship at some point in
Speaker 1: the not too distant future against Brock Lesner, which I
Speaker 1: don't need to see. We've already seen it. They've already
Speaker 1: had three matches before, and Cody beat him decisively at
Speaker 1: Summer Slammed the last time, and Brock put him over
Speaker 1: and raised his hand. There's no need to see that again.
Speaker 1: So hopefully him bringing up Lesner was just feeding into,
Speaker 1: like he said, the conspiracy theories and the questions about
Speaker 1: whether or not Hayman is really back with Brock or not,
Speaker 1: and not a sign of something more that we're going
Speaker 1: to be getting between Cody and Brock because I don't
Speaker 1: want to see it, because we already saw it and
Speaker 1: we don't need to see it again. Now after this
Speaker 1: we got speaking of things that I don't need to
Speaker 1: see again. We have the Street Profits who were back
Speaker 1: on the same page, and there were no signs of
Speaker 1: any sort of animosity or any miscommunications between them tonight
Speaker 1: or anything like that. They put their differences aside at
Speaker 1: least for now, and everything is cool with the Street Profits.
Speaker 1: They were in action next. They were taking on Carmelo
Speaker 1: Hayes and the Miz. The winners of this match would
Speaker 1: be the number one contenders for the WWE tag team titles.
Speaker 1: After a break, Miz drilled Montese Ford with a kneeling DDT.
Speaker 1: Michael Cole brings up that on social media this week
Speaker 1: or on social media of late, the Miz has been
Speaker 1: lobbying for one last match on this retirement tour with
Speaker 1: John Cena. We've wasted enough time, We've wasted enough of
Speaker 1: John Cena's retirement tour. We don't need to waste more
Speaker 1: of it. One of his last few remaining matches on
Speaker 1: the MIZZ. So I don't know if he brought that
Speaker 1: up for a reason, or if he just brought it
Speaker 1: up because he felt like bringing it up. But let
Speaker 1: us hope that is not one of John Cena's final matches.
Speaker 1: Here in this retirement tour. We're getting John Cena and
Speaker 1: aj Styles at Crown Jewel. Great. That's an old match
Speaker 1: that I would love to see them run back. I'm
Speaker 1: glad we're getting that match. If you were to ask
Speaker 1: fifty people if you had the pen here, if you
Speaker 1: had the pen, and you can book the remaining three matches,
Speaker 1: four matches at most that John Cena has left on
Speaker 1: this retirement tour, Okay, you got put your top five
Speaker 1: names on the list. None of those fifty people would
Speaker 1: have the mid in the top five. I'm sure MS
Speaker 1: would love to wrestle John. Everyone wants to wrestle John Cena.
Speaker 1: Everybody on that roster wants to write Joe Hendry was
Speaker 1: lobbying to wrestle John Cena. Of course Mis wants to
Speaker 1: wrestle John Cena. Question is does anybody want to see
Speaker 1: the Miss wrestle John Cena. The answer is no, No,
Speaker 1: they don't not at this point. Maybe if it was
Speaker 1: January you could do a raw match. It ain't January.
Speaker 1: It's almost October. The next time we do is SmackDown Review.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be October. Ain't nobody want to see that match?
Speaker 1: Hayes got the tag as he delivered a cheap shot
Speaker 1: to Angelo Dawkins on the apron. Meanwhile, Montez Ford managed
Speaker 1: to fight his way out of enemy territory. He tried
Speaker 1: to tag in Dawkins. Mizz, though pulled Dawkins down off
Speaker 1: the apron outside. This allowed Hayes to hit forward with
Speaker 1: the first forty eight, and then Hayes headed up top.
Speaker 1: He was looking for his finish. He was looking for
Speaker 1: nothing but net. But as he's up top, the Miz
Speaker 1: once again selfishly tags himself in but Ford or not Ford,
Speaker 1: but Hayes grabs him. I think by the rest he's
Speaker 1: holding him and Miss is like what are you doing?
Speaker 1: You know, he looks back at him, like what are
Speaker 1: you doing? Because Hayes is tired of this, right, He's
Speaker 1: tired of Miz stealing the glory. So this gave the
Speaker 1: Profits a chance to make a comeback, as Dawkins rock
Speaker 1: Miz with a corkscrew elbow followed by a spinning neck
Speaker 1: breaker and with Ford as the legal man, he took
Speaker 1: to the skies with the big frog splash. Now Ford
Speaker 1: had him covered. Hayes went to go crawl into the
Speaker 1: ring and had plenty of time to break up the pin,
Speaker 1: but he stops himself. He hesitates, he decides against it,
Speaker 1: and he just watches as Montez Ford pins the Miz
Speaker 1: and that there go their chance to challenge for the
Speaker 1: Tag Team championships. By bye. The Street Profits are wanting
Speaker 1: again number one contenders for the WWE Tag team titles.
Speaker 1: Mellow don't miss. Yeah, they'll have to wait for another day.
Speaker 1: That day is not today. After the match was over
Speaker 1: the Wyatt Six, all of a sudden they appeared. They're
Speaker 1: standing around and sitting on the announced desk outside just
Speaker 1: watching on So yet another title match for the Street Profits,
Speaker 1: which Michael Cole said would be coming down the line.
Speaker 1: So even they don't know when this match is going
Speaker 1: to take place, I'm sure it'll be a TV match.
Speaker 1: It needs to be a TV match. We don't need
Speaker 1: the Street Profit. We know how limited the real estate
Speaker 1: is on these triple hpls. We do not need the
Speaker 1: Street Profits in the Wyatt Six on a pl So
Speaker 1: they could do that on SmackDown any week they want to,
Speaker 1: so we don't know when, but we know that that
Speaker 1: match is going to be coming. It doesn't inspire any
Speaker 1: excitement for me. We weren't even supposed to get that
Speaker 1: match in Paris, right, That was going to be Andrade
Speaker 1: and Ray Phoenix, And because of what happened with Andrade,
Speaker 1: they basically went with the Street Profits as a fallback.
Speaker 1: But we got it, you know, wasn't terribly memorable. Now
Speaker 1: we're gonna get it again. Do they circle back to
Speaker 1: this idea of maybe splitting up the Street Profits where
Speaker 1: something goes wrong in that title match and that's it,
Speaker 1: that's the straw that breaks the camel's back and you've
Speaker 1: got Dawkins breaking away from Ford or Ford breaking away
Speaker 1: from Dawkins. It could still happen. You know, they were
Speaker 1: on the best of terms tonight, But that doesn't mean
Speaker 1: that if they lose, which they will when they wrestle
Speaker 1: the y at six, that they still don't do a split.
Speaker 1: They've been teasing it for so long now it's like,
Speaker 1: just make a decision, either do it or don't do it,
Speaker 1: you know, but the teases will only take you so far.
Speaker 1: Because we've already gotten that so many times and nothing
Speaker 1: ever comes of it. They always just patch things up
Speaker 1: and everything goes back to normal. But at this point,
Speaker 1: like the Street Profits and the why, It's it's just
Speaker 1: not a terribly exciting match. So I have to think
Speaker 1: if they're doing this match again, there's a reason for it,
Speaker 1: but it doesn't necessarily mean they're winning the belts. What
Speaker 1: else could it be. It could only be one other thing,
Speaker 1: which is a breakup. And even if they break them up,
Speaker 1: there's no guarantee of success for either one of these guys,
Speaker 1: even though you would think someone like montes Ford is
Speaker 1: a slam dunk, there's no guarantee. But I do think
Speaker 1: it's probably a risk worth taking because the Street Profits
Speaker 1: they've hit a wall. They've hit a wall. What else
Speaker 1: is left for them to do? At this point, I'm
Speaker 1: drawing a blank. I don't know that upward mobility that
Speaker 1: you always want to have in your career. It's like
Speaker 1: they've hit that ceiling. It can't break through. That ceiling
Speaker 1: is rock solid. So you got to make a decision.
Speaker 1: What do you want to do? You know, where do
Speaker 1: you want to take these guys? But I mean as
Speaker 1: far as Mellow and Miss, there's nothing with the story
Speaker 1: that they're telling with these two, we got some new
Speaker 1: movement at least in the direction of a split based
Speaker 1: on how that finish went down. Obviously that's gonna cause
Speaker 1: some issues between the two of them. The way I
Speaker 1: would describe it, it's a perfectly competent story that they
Speaker 1: have been telling with them on the show. And for
Speaker 1: anybody who feels like this is the best story that
Speaker 1: is going today on SmackDown. To me, if you honestly
Speaker 1: believe that, and I'm not even sure that's really a
Speaker 1: wrong statement, it probably is the best story going right
Speaker 1: now on SmackDown, to me, that's an indictment. That's an
Speaker 1: indictment on SmackDown. If this is the best storytelling that
Speaker 1: we have right now on Friday nights, I don't look
Speaker 1: at that as a positive. I look at that as
Speaker 1: a negative if that's the best that they can offer
Speaker 1: here on SmackDown. So, yeah, it's a perfectly competent mid
Speaker 1: card story. But if that's the best they got, whoof
Speaker 1: that ain't good? Now? As Jade car Gill was interviewed
Speaker 1: backstage about the triple threat match tonight for the Women's Championship,
Speaker 1: the new Women's World heavyweight champion Stephanie Vicaire showed up
Speaker 1: and she confronted Jade, and Jade told her that a
Speaker 1: storm would be coming her way at Crown Jewel, and
Speaker 1: the care told her that she would be ready. We
Speaker 1: had Julia and Keana James against Meechen and Bfab. Oh Man,
Speaker 1: you know when I saw Julia in NXT, if you
Speaker 1: would have told me that I would be reviewing a
Speaker 1: Julia match on SmackDown once she gets called up and
Speaker 1: she's not only is she called up, but she's the
Speaker 1: United States champion. They put a belt on her. I'd
Speaker 1: be like super excited right to see the ascent of Julia.
Speaker 1: And here I sit and I just I don't know.
Speaker 1: I feel defeated. I feel nothing as I watched this.
Speaker 1: Evidently the crowd felt nothing too, because they were terribly
Speaker 1: excited or animated watching this match. I just I feel
Speaker 1: nothing watching this. B Fab opened by blasting Keana with
Speaker 1: some strikes. She got taken down by a clothesline by Julia.
Speaker 1: Bfab responded with a drop kick to Kana and she
Speaker 1: tagged Mechin in. Julia then tagged in and the US
Speaker 1: champion struck Mechin with a kick. She got met with
Speaker 1: a Hurricane Rana and the tag got made to BFAB.
Speaker 1: She kept Julia grounded and the champion rolled outside for
Speaker 1: the retreat. Things broke down. The champion got blasted by
Speaker 1: a drop kick off the announced desk, a shotgun dropkick
Speaker 1: by Michin which took us into the commercial break. BFAB
Speaker 1: was in trouble. Keana re entered the match and maintained
Speaker 1: the upper hand. There was a missed elbow that allowed
Speaker 1: BFAB to recreate or not recreated to create some separation,
Speaker 1: and she tried to tag in Michin and she got
Speaker 1: the tag. So Miechin dropped Keana with a DDT she used,
Speaker 1: using Julia as a base for it. Things broke down.
Speaker 1: Meechin hit Keana with eight defeat, but that sent her
Speaker 1: into Julia's corner, which allowed her to tag in and
Speaker 1: she flattened Meechin with the Arriva dere Chi knee followed
Speaker 1: by a Northern Lights bomb for the wind. This was
Speaker 1: depressingly flat. The crowd did not give a shit about
Speaker 1: this match. It was. It was a struggle to pull
Speaker 1: any sort of reaction. Maybe little pockets of a reaction
Speaker 1: here and there, but it was a struggle to pull
Speaker 1: a reaction out of these people. I can't blame them.
Speaker 1: I mean the match itself was very paint by numbers, right,
Speaker 1: I mean the right person one, but it was very
Speaker 1: paint by number stuff. The crowd is not invested in
Speaker 1: any of these people like you can you can watch
Speaker 1: Raw for example, and when Rhea is out there, when
Speaker 1: liv Morgan was on the show every week, when Stephanie's
Speaker 1: out there now EO, when she's out there, like you
Speaker 1: can tell. Even on this show, Tiffany right, still very popular.
Speaker 1: There are certain people the crowd is very heavily invested in.
Speaker 1: And that's also the product of them being on television
Speaker 1: for many years and repetitions. Right, they're on the show
Speaker 1: every single week. There's people feel like they have equity
Speaker 1: in some of these characters, and so you can very
Speaker 1: easily tell when the fans have no connection and no
Speaker 1: investment whatsoever in somebody on the show. They have no
Speaker 1: investment in Julia even though she's been the United States
Speaker 1: champion for a few months. They have no investment in
Speaker 1: Keana James, they have no investment in Meechin, they have
Speaker 1: no investment in Befat. Because of that, you end up
Speaker 1: with a match like this, which just feels very flat,
Speaker 1: and there was nothing they did in this match that
Speaker 1: was necessarily wrong. There was nothing in this match that
Speaker 1: was also going to really change any of that. It
Speaker 1: was a match, and you would suspect that it might
Speaker 1: lead to a title match between Julian Mitchen, you know again,
Speaker 1: even though Julia beat them, I mean, she won the match.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure why we need to, you know, continue
Speaker 1: this other than the fact that there's nobody else. And
Speaker 1: so when I've said before that this women's division is
Speaker 1: in dire straits right now on SmackDown, this is what
Speaker 1: I'm talking about, this division, and this just highlighted it
Speaker 1: right here. They desperately need to call up some new
Speaker 1: faces or move some faces over from Monday Night. But
Speaker 1: they desperately need to call up some new faces. And
Speaker 1: funny enough, in the very next segment that came after
Speaker 1: this match, we had Zaria and soul Ruka from NXT
Speaker 1: who confronted Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss who were in
Speaker 1: the back, and Zaria was very disrespectful towards the tag
Speaker 1: team champions, but they wanted next. They demanded a shot
Speaker 1: of the women's tag team titles, and it was Alexa
Speaker 1: Bliss who told them to get in line and earn
Speaker 1: it first, and Charlotte was very impressed that the way
Speaker 1: that Alexa told them off. But that was the segment,
Speaker 1: so they set that match up. But sol Ruca, sol
Speaker 1: Ruka is gonna be a big star in that women's
Speaker 1: division on Raw or SmackDown, you know where she needs
Speaker 1: to be SmackDown. SmackDown could use soul Ruca a lot
Speaker 1: right now. Frankly, you could put soul Ruka and Zaria
Speaker 1: on the main roster, but sol Ruka in particular, And
Speaker 1: then there's other people from NXT who don't really need
Speaker 1: to spend that much more time in NXT, Blake Monroe,
Speaker 1: Jordan Grace. You take two or three names and maybe
Speaker 1: just dump them all, frankly on SmackDown. That's how badly
Speaker 1: the women's division on SmackDown could use these people, and
Speaker 1: I think it would make all the difference in the world.
Speaker 1: But it's going to take time yet, Like if they
Speaker 1: called bunch of people up next week, they're not all
Speaker 1: going to be over on day one. I mean, sol Ruka,
Speaker 1: I don't think it's going to take too long for
Speaker 1: her to get over with that soul snatcher in the
Speaker 1: way that Java On Evans was able to kind of
Speaker 1: grab the crowd by the throat tonight. We'll get to
Speaker 1: him in a minute. But even if they call people
Speaker 1: up next week, some of these women, it will take
Speaker 1: time to get that crowd investment in them. That just
Speaker 1: is not there yet for Julia, because they just really
Speaker 1: haven't given people a reason to get behind some of
Speaker 1: these women. And now Julie is a heel, obviously, so
Speaker 1: when I say get invested in them, get invested in
Speaker 1: them as a heel or a babyface. When you're invested
Speaker 1: in someone, you're reacting to them, you're cheering them, you're
Speaker 1: booing them, you're chanting. You know, fuck you, Julia, fuck you.
Speaker 1: You know there's an investment there. The people are expending energy,
Speaker 1: they're bringing signs, they're starting chance, they're invested. There's none
Speaker 1: of that here. There's nothing to get excited about. There's
Speaker 1: no interesting, compelling matches that we could sit here in
Speaker 1: fantasy book right now for the SmackDown women's division, not one,
Speaker 1: not one that has to change. You can put a
Speaker 1: belt on Julia if you want to. You can call
Speaker 1: her a champion. She's got a cool entrance. It's not
Speaker 1: gonna matter if she doesn't have somebody. The Batman to
Speaker 1: the Joker right used that analogy a lot. She's the champion.
Speaker 1: She needs a great challenger to be programmed with and
Speaker 1: to be working with. Who is that person gonna be.
Speaker 1: It's not gonna be Michen, It's not gonna be Befab.
Speaker 1: Who's that person gonna be. That person doesn't exist right now,
Speaker 1: And as long as that person doesn't exist, Julia is fucked.
Speaker 1: She's stuck. She needs someone. She needs that person to
Speaker 1: work with, or this US title reign is going to
Speaker 1: go down the drain. It's already halfway down the bowl.
Speaker 1: Call some people up, hit the panic button and get
Speaker 1: some new people on this show. Please, for the love
Speaker 1: of God, save this division. Drew McIntyre was out to
Speaker 1: the ring next. He had his foot in a walking boot,
Speaker 1: the one that he injured at the end of the
Speaker 1: match with Cody of Wressell Palooza. McIntyre said that Orlando
Speaker 1: held a special place in his heart. It's where he
Speaker 1: made his WWE return in twenty seventeen. It's where he
Speaker 1: won his second WWE championship in front of a bunch
Speaker 1: of screens. Boy, he really can't let that go. He
Speaker 1: really can't let that's He's been crowing about this for
Speaker 1: years now about his title run being in front of
Speaker 1: a bunch of screens inside the Thunderdome. I mean, look,
Speaker 1: I sympathize with the guy, but brother, you gotta let
Speaker 1: it go at some point. I mean, you had your
Speaker 1: shot at Wressell Palooza and you kick the table and
Speaker 1: you lost. That's on you. But he said that he
Speaker 1: should have been here tonight as the new WWE champion
Speaker 1: were it not for the referee, he might have been
Speaker 1: were it not for the referee getting in the way.
Speaker 1: At Wressell Palooza, he said it took the referee six
Speaker 1: seconds at one point to count a pinfall, and then
Speaker 1: he pointed out the referee getting in his path outside
Speaker 1: the ring when he went to go give Cody another
Speaker 1: claim wore a kick through the side of the announced desk.
Speaker 1: Never the referee, he jumped out of the ring. He
Speaker 1: got in the way. No, no, no, you can't do that,
Speaker 1: even though what's so illegal about it? And I think
Speaker 1: Drew even pointed out in this promo, like throwing Cody
Speaker 1: into the ring steps not a disqualification, but here he
Speaker 1: wants to disqualify me. That should be my choice. What
Speaker 1: are you getting in my way for? But he said,
Speaker 1: you know what, he forgives referee Ryan Tran because he
Speaker 1: has a family to feed. So instead he blames Cody Rhodes.
Speaker 1: Nick all this comes out, SmackDown general manager. He comes
Speaker 1: out on stage and all of this sudd You know,
Speaker 1: I saw some things from your perspective, You're not totally
Speaker 1: wrong in what you're saying. But he told him not
Speaker 1: to make excuses because you're better than that. He saw
Speaker 1: Mac and Tire kicked the announced table at Russell Balooza.
Speaker 1: He also said McIntyre didn't get that walking boot from
Speaker 1: WWE medical, and then McIntyre went on a rant, oh yeah,
Speaker 1: WWE medical, may as well. I got it from my
Speaker 1: own medical. I should have gotten it maybe from Cody's medical.
Speaker 1: So Alda said the referee's decision was final and that's
Speaker 1: that and he left. That was it. He left. McIntyre
Speaker 1: continued to complain until he was interrupted by Jacob Fatu's music,
Speaker 1: and I was like, holy shit, they found him. Finally,
Speaker 1: what was once lost has now been found. It's about
Speaker 1: damn time. Fat two headed to the ring. He took
Speaker 1: the mic from McIntyre. He told him, man, shut your
Speaker 1: ass up. He said, McIntyre comes out and complains every
Speaker 1: week and blames everybody else. He told him to sit
Speaker 1: his peg leg ass down. McIntyre took the mic back
Speaker 1: and said Fat two had a great run over the
Speaker 1: last year. But he drew McIntyre and he started to
Speaker 1: say what he was going to do to him if
Speaker 1: he wasn't hurt. Fat two took the mic and said
Speaker 1: McIntyre must have forgotten. He's all gas and no brakes. No, actually,
Speaker 1: if Solo Socoa is correct, he's all gas and no brains.
Speaker 1: I have to give Solo credit that that line has
Speaker 1: stuck with me. It was actually a great line. McIntyre
Speaker 1: hit Fat two with the Glasgow kiss. Fa Tu sold
Speaker 1: it for a moment. Then he turned and he super
Speaker 1: kicked MacIntyre. Fa Tu ripped the walking boot off of
Speaker 1: McIntyre's foot and hit him over the head with it.
Speaker 1: Michael Cole said Fa two had the guts to say
Speaker 1: things to McIntyre that a lot of people have wanted
Speaker 1: to tell him, and Fat two had a jersey. I
Speaker 1: think he had a jersey on. I don't remember, but
Speaker 1: he ripped it off. He had a shirt on and
Speaker 1: it was backwards. I love how his shirts are always
Speaker 1: on backwards. I don't know why. I guess that's his thing.
Speaker 1: He put it on backwards. I'm here for a McIntyre
Speaker 1: FA two match. I would be very surprised if McIntyre
Speaker 1: and Cody ends up being a one and done. Obviously,
Speaker 1: it was never gonna happen at Crown Jewel because they
Speaker 1: have to do the Champion against Champion stuff. But I
Speaker 1: think Survivor Series you got to run it back in
Speaker 1: some form or fashion. Not only did you do Cody
Speaker 1: and Drew Wreussell Paluza, potentially making it a one and done,
Speaker 1: but the way it ended, Drew beat himself because he
Speaker 1: kicked the desk. He kicked the desk and injured himself.
Speaker 1: He want to go give him a Claymore kick in
Speaker 1: the ring after that, and he collapsed under the weight
Speaker 1: of his own foot. The man beat himself. And now
Speaker 1: we're just gonna move on because it's time to do
Speaker 1: Crown Jewel and it's gonna be Cody and Seth. Okay, great,
Speaker 1: that's October. But there's a pay per view in November
Speaker 1: called Survivor Series, and you could do Cody, and you
Speaker 1: could do Cody, Drew and Randy and make it a
Speaker 1: triple threat because Randy Orton and Drew McIntyre have issues
Speaker 1: as well. I actually liked that idea more. There's so
Speaker 1: many different ways that you could go with that. And
Speaker 1: we heard a report this week, I think it was
Speaker 1: bodyslam dot Net that Cody and Drew themselves had pitched
Speaker 1: an alternate finish to their match at Wressell Palooza or
Speaker 1: Randy Orton would have accidentally cost Cody Rhoads the WWE
Speaker 1: Championship and it would have led to Cody having to
Speaker 1: chase Drew to get the belt back and then getting
Speaker 1: it back and then after that pulling the trigger and
Speaker 1: Randy Yorton then turns heel on Cody Roads. I think
Speaker 1: that's a great fucking idea. And just because they didn't
Speaker 1: do it at Wrussell Polouza doesn't mean they still can't
Speaker 1: do it. They can there's still time and Survivor Series,
Speaker 1: you do a triple threat match. Guess what Randy Orton
Speaker 1: could accidentally cost Cody the match? You could do some
Speaker 1: variation of that finish, and Trew McIntyre could leave Survivor
Speaker 1: Series the WWE champion, even if Cody just gets the
Speaker 1: bell back at the Rumble in Saudi okay, or elimination
Speaker 1: Chamber okay. So what's so wrong about that? This show
Speaker 1: is in dire need of a shakeup in many ways,
Speaker 1: Like I said, shake up the women's division, get some
Speaker 1: new faces in there. I look at the top of
Speaker 1: the card right now. John Sen is done with SmackDown.
Speaker 1: Brock Lesnier, We're not going to see him for a
Speaker 1: while on SmackDown. Roman Rains is really not on SmackDown anyway.
Speaker 1: I mean, Roman Rains is on whatever show they want
Speaker 1: him to be on. So you look at the top
Speaker 1: of the cards. You have Cody, you have Randy, right,
Speaker 1: you have Drew, I guess, although now he's sort of
Speaker 1: moved down a peg and there's not a whole lot
Speaker 1: else going on at the very top of the card
Speaker 1: on SmackDown. Right now, they got the MFTs. So Cody
Speaker 1: is the champion. Drew is still talking about being screwed
Speaker 1: out of the championship. Randy Orton's running around going after
Speaker 1: Drew do a triple threat match and do a title change.
Speaker 1: There's no harm in taking the title of Cody and
Speaker 1: making him chase to get it back two or three
Speaker 1: more months later. There's so many different stories that you
Speaker 1: could tell with him and Randy and how that might
Speaker 1: branch off. Do it. Stop playing it safe? Do it?
Speaker 1: He plays it safe too much. I'm not saying play
Speaker 1: hot potato with every belt and change it every other month,
Speaker 1: But my God, don't be afraid to shake things up
Speaker 1: a little bit. I don't know what they're so fucking
Speaker 1: petrified of. This week's episode is sponsored by Green Chef.
Speaker 1: Summer is over and that means fall is upon us,
Speaker 1: my favorite season, mainly because Halloween is my favorite holiday,

Speaker 1: In fact, now that the grill is off and the
Speaker 1: burgers and hot dogs are gone, it gives me a

Speaker 1: main event. Stephanie Vquier showed up and was sizing up
Speaker 1: her potential challenger at Crown Jewel, just like she did
Speaker 1: with Jade earlier. Stephanie said that she would be watching
Speaker 1: the triple threaten. Maybe they'll meet at Crown Jewel and
Speaker 1: Stratton said that she respects Stephanie, but if they meet
Speaker 1: in the ring, it will end with Tiffany becoming the
Speaker 1: Crown Jewel Champion. We'll see, said Stephanie. Now elsewhere in
Speaker 1: the back, Sammy's Ain was chatting with Ray Phoenix, who
Speaker 1: I guess just showed up to the show to hang
Speaker 1: out in catering and now he's having a conversation here
Speaker 1: with Sammy's Ain And he asked, Sammy, who do you
Speaker 1: think is going to answer your open He botched the line.
Speaker 1: He had one line, He had one line. He fucked
Speaker 1: it up. I forgot what he said. He said, like,
Speaker 1: who do you think challenge you? Or will challenge it? Whatever?
Speaker 1: He bungled the one line he was supposed to be
Speaker 1: asking him, who do you think is going to accept
Speaker 1: the open challenge, and Sammy said, I don't know, you know,
Speaker 1: it could be anybody, could be somebody from Raw, could
Speaker 1: be somebody from SmackDown. He goes, hey, we're in Orlando,
Speaker 1: teasing that maybe it might even be somebody from NXT.
Speaker 1: As he was talking, Shinsky Nakamura was in the background,
Speaker 1: lurking in the shadows as Sammy was talking. Not the
Speaker 1: first time that that has happened on SmackDown in the
Speaker 1: last few weeks. I would love to sit here and
Speaker 1: pretend that I am as excited to see Sammy zaying
Speaker 1: against Shinsky Nakimore as I was in twenty sixteen in
Speaker 1: Dallas when I was third row ringside at NXT Takeover
Speaker 1: and I saw one of the best live matches I've
Speaker 1: ever seen. I would love to still be sitting here
Speaker 1: nine years later and have that same enthusiasm. But I can't.
Speaker 1: I can't because the Shinsky Nakamoora that I saw that
Speaker 1: night is not the same Shinsky Nakamora that we see today.
Speaker 1: And I'm not just saying because he's nine years older.
Speaker 1: That's true, but so is Sammy. Samby's still going out
Speaker 1: there having banger matches. There's a lot of reasons why
Speaker 1: I no longer feel that way about Shinsky Knockamore, so
Speaker 1: I can't get excited over it. I do wonder if
Speaker 1: that's the Crown Jewel match, if they were going to
Speaker 1: have a US Title Open Challenge matchic Crown Jewel, I
Speaker 1: think in front of that crowd in Perth, they might
Speaker 1: be able to turn it into something special. But you know,
Speaker 1: that last US title run that Shinsky had, if you
Speaker 1: could even call it a run as the US Champion,
Speaker 1: was just fucking garbage. I have no interest in seeing
Speaker 1: him challenging or winning the US title. It's the last
Speaker 1: thing I want to see. But Sammy's am was out
Speaker 1: for his United States Championship Open Challenge and accepting the
Speaker 1: Open challenge was Javan Evans, the young upstart from NXT.
Speaker 1: Twenty four hours before his match with Josh Briggs at
Speaker 1: No Mercy to Tomorrow night. The two of them locked
Speaker 1: up to start. Evans dodged Sammy before he got tossed
Speaker 1: around with arm drags from the champion in the corner.
Speaker 1: Evans delivered a chop to the chest, then he backed off.
Speaker 1: In response, Sammy got in some chops of his own.
Speaker 1: Evans answered with a springboard clothesline followed by a leaping
Speaker 1: rana off the top rope, and then Javan sent Sammy
Speaker 1: to the outside. He was looking like he was about
Speaker 1: to take flight. Sammy dough put a stop to that
Speaker 1: with a hard lariat that took us into the commercial break.
Speaker 1: We came back with Sammy having Evans on the ropes
Speaker 1: with a chop and the challenger fought out of it.
Speaker 1: He threw Sammy outside and then connected on a soaring
Speaker 1: dive out over the top rope. Inside. Evans countered a
Speaker 1: blue thunderbomb attempt and answered with a springboard in Saguri.
Speaker 1: Sammy tried for a diving move off the top. Evans
Speaker 1: ran up the ropes though then delivered an avalanche hurricane
Speaker 1: rona and this looked great even just leaping up into
Speaker 1: the air for the hurricanana like he got mega height
Speaker 1: on this thing. And so he pulled Sammy off that
Speaker 1: top rope and Sammy took a hell of a bump.
Speaker 1: He took a halluva bump, you might say, in the
Speaker 1: corner Evans, and by the way, that nearly won him
Speaker 1: the title, but not quite. In the corner. Evans tried
Speaker 1: to run at Sammy, he got caught with an exploder suplex.
Speaker 1: A Halluva kick attempt was thwarted by a drop kick
Speaker 1: right on the button by Evans. Another attempt at a
Speaker 1: Halluva kick was again countered, Evans dodged it at the
Speaker 1: last second. This left Sammy stunned and Evans connected with
Speaker 1: an og cutter for a great near fall. This thing
Speaker 1: again was a fucking just thing of beauty, and the
Speaker 1: crowd again super invested in this, hanging on to every
Speaker 1: near fall chanting this is awesome. They were fully invested
Speaker 1: in this match. Evans headed to the apron for a springboard.
Speaker 1: He miscalculated, though, and he ended up in the corner.
Speaker 1: After a roll through. Sammy immediately made him pay. As
Speaker 1: he turned around, he ate a Halluva kick and Sammy
Speaker 1: followed that with a blue thunderbomb for the Wind to
Speaker 1: retain the championship. After the match was over, Sammy congratulated
Speaker 1: the kid. He is still a kid twenty one years old.
Speaker 1: I mean by w w E standard, look at look
Speaker 1: at the fucking roster. Most of the top names on
Speaker 1: the roster or at least forty five. I feel like
Speaker 1: forty two forty five forty eight. So by those standards, yes,
Speaker 1: he's a kid, even though he is a grown adult.
Speaker 1: But when you compare to the other people on this roster,
Speaker 1: it's okay to call him a kid. But he got
Speaker 1: the fans to cheer for him. I don't think Sammy
Speaker 1: needed to work too hard to get the people to
Speaker 1: do that. I think they were cheering for him anyway.
Speaker 1: Let me just say that Halluva kick into a Blue
Speaker 1: thunderbomb at the finish there. That needs to be a
Speaker 1: permanent thing going forward. I love the idea that the
Speaker 1: Halluva kick is the immediate setup to the blue thunderbomb
Speaker 1: and that being finish. I really hope that becomes a
Speaker 1: thing with Sammy going forward. This was a hell of
Speaker 1: a match. That's now four straight weeks. He did it
Speaker 1: with Sina, he did it with Mellow, he had that
Speaker 1: great match with Ray Phoenix. Here tonight with Javon Evans.
Speaker 1: This US title Open challenge has been the highlight of
Speaker 1: the night on this show, and this was also a
Speaker 1: nice follow up to the little interaction that these two
Speaker 1: had backstage at the NXT homecoming show when Sammy gave
Speaker 1: Evans a little pep talk in the back. So that
Speaker 1: was was that a week ago, two weeks ago, So
Speaker 1: this was a nice little follow up to that. Evans
Speaker 1: as a prospect, obviously, the company has very high hopes
Speaker 1: for him. Michael Cole on commentary during this match, actually
Speaker 1: said he's a future WWE champion. I'm not going to
Speaker 1: sit here and tell you that he's a future WWE
Speaker 1: champion just yet. Does he have the potential to be
Speaker 1: that big? He has the potential. Absolutely. He's still only
Speaker 1: twenty one years old, which is pretty incredible when you
Speaker 1: consider the body of work. He's already put together an
Speaker 1: NXT and he's had the chance to work with a
Speaker 1: bunch of different people, wrestled Randy Orton right that he
Speaker 1: was the handpicked opponent for Randy Orton when Randy Orton
Speaker 1: wrestled on that one episode of NXT in Saint Louis
Speaker 1: last year. He had that program with Ethan Page, he
Speaker 1: had that great match with Oba Femei not that long ago.
Speaker 1: So he's very very impressive. When you watch him in
Speaker 1: the ring. There are certain people like they get good
Speaker 1: hangtime on some of their offense. You know, montez Ford.
Speaker 1: We saw him on this show with the frog splash
Speaker 1: and we know the hangtime he gets on that. But
Speaker 1: you watched Evon Evans and he just he makes it
Speaker 1: look effortless, you know, when he's flying around or god,
Speaker 1: what was it the match with Oba where he took
Speaker 1: that just ridiculous bump. He did this dive out over
Speaker 1: the top rope and I think he cleared the announced
Speaker 1: desk and he crashed and burned. It was just a
Speaker 1: hillacious bump. But he just the way he flies around
Speaker 1: the ring, and when he comes off with that og cutter,
Speaker 1: it looks it looks great. You know, there's a smoothness
Speaker 1: to his offense. So he's a lot of fun to watch.
Speaker 1: And he's still very young, and he's only going to
Speaker 1: grow and get better and you know, cut more promos
Speaker 1: and just sharpen his skills. I mean, that's why he's
Speaker 1: in NXT right now. And it's too soon to call
Speaker 1: him up to the main roster. I mean, let him
Speaker 1: cook for a little bit more down there. There's plenty
Speaker 1: of other people on the NXT roster right now that
Speaker 1: are ready for a call up. When they're ready to
Speaker 1: call them up, you know, Javon Evans I think has
Speaker 1: to win the NXT Championship first, before I would even
Speaker 1: think about calling him up. But he's been one of
Speaker 1: the success stories of the Performance Center, so this was
Speaker 1: great stuff. When Sammy finally loses that title, this show
Speaker 1: is going to be in some real trouble, seriously, unless
Speaker 1: they really shake things up a little bit when he
Speaker 1: drops that championship and we don't get these open challenge
Speaker 1: matches anymore. I shuddered to think what this show is
Speaker 1: going to look like. In the back, Nya Jax was
Speaker 1: walking when Chelsea Green and Alba Fire showed up. Chelsea
Speaker 1: offered her a spot in her Secret Hervice because they're
Speaker 1: down a member. For those who don't know, Piper Niven
Speaker 1: is injured and Piper Niven has a neck injury, and
Speaker 1: apparently it's a pretty serious neck injury, and they are
Speaker 1: in the process of deciding how this neck injury is
Speaker 1: going to be treated, whether it's going to be surgery
Speaker 1: or rehab. But we're not going to be seeing Piper
Speaker 1: Niven for a while, so we need a new agent,
Speaker 1: I guess. In the Secret Hervis Nya Jax was not
Speaker 1: interested in joining the Secret hervist, so the paper that
Speaker 1: they handed her she tore them up. She walked away
Speaker 1: and she ran into Stephanie Vicaire and Stephanie wished her
Speaker 1: good luck. Nia says that she could drop her right now,
Speaker 1: but she would rather wait for crown jewel. Elsewhere in
Speaker 1: the back, Damian Priest came upon Kit Wilson of Pretty Deadly,
Speaker 1: the same guy that he put through a wall on
Speaker 1: last week's show. That's why Kit Wilson was in a
Speaker 1: wheelchair and he's sitting there. I mean again, I love
Speaker 1: the idea that this man is sitting in a wheelchair.
Speaker 1: They flew him into work. This man was injured on
Speaker 1: the job, thrown through a wall. He's in a wheelchair.
Speaker 1: You got to come to work. You can't wrestle, but
Speaker 1: you got to come to work. And we'll just sit
Speaker 1: you in a little corner in the backstage area and
Speaker 1: you could sit there just ranting about toxic masculinity. This
Speaker 1: is what Damian Priest came upon in the back. So
Speaker 1: Priest is he's being told, you know you're toxic. You're toxic.
Speaker 1: So Priest starts to sort of menace him like he's
Speaker 1: about to do something to him, and we got some
Speaker 1: comedy here. Kit Wilson, he had gotten up. He went
Speaker 1: to go turn to run away. He did a pratt fall. Haha,
Speaker 1: it's funny. He did a pratt fall, and then Priest
Speaker 1: tells him bitches be tripping. Then we hear a voice.
Speaker 1: It's Alistair Black, the man the Priest is actually looking for,
Speaker 1: and Damien turns around right into a Black mass. Kick
Speaker 1: down goes Damian Priest. Black says that he and Priest
Speaker 1: might do this until only one man is left standing,
Speaker 1: and then he wishes Priest a happy birthday in a
Speaker 1: very sarcastic way. Well, gee, I wonder what that means.
Speaker 1: The stipulation of their next match is going to be Gee,
Speaker 1: I wonder what kind of match could it possibly be?
Speaker 1: It is Damian Priest's birthday, by the way, Happy birthday,
Speaker 1: Damian Priest, forty three years old. Today. They closed the
Speaker 1: show with the triple Threat match for the WWE Women's Championship.
Speaker 1: It was Tiffany Stratton defending against Naya Jacks and Jade Cargill.
Speaker 1: The match started off with Naya throwing Tiffany into Jade.
Speaker 1: The champion struck back with a double dropkick to both
Speaker 1: women and they went to a commercial break. We were
Speaker 1: a minute into this match, and they went to a
Speaker 1: commercial break. They came back with Tiffany flying out on
Speaker 1: Tenaya with a suicide dive that did not land well
Speaker 1: because her legs hit the ropes on the way out. Thankfully,
Speaker 1: she didn't land on her head like she did when
Speaker 1: she hit that moon salt outside the ring a couple
Speaker 1: weeks ago and looked like she can cussed herself. I
Speaker 1: don't know if she actually can cussed herself or they
Speaker 1: were worried that she did, but that's why we didn't
Speaker 1: see her wrestle at Wressell Palooza. Later in the match,
Speaker 1: Stratton headed to the top rope. She hit swanton bomb
Speaker 1: on Tanaya, but immediately got put down by a super
Speaker 1: kick from Jade, which ended up actually making her fall
Speaker 1: backwards on top of Naya. She had her pin, but
Speaker 1: Nya kicked out. As Nya kicked out, we got yet
Speaker 1: another commercial break. Jade and Tiffany. They teamed up to
Speaker 1: deliver a double superplex to Nya off the ropes, and
Speaker 1: when Nia is still recovering it, Stratton took Cargil down
Speaker 1: with her rolling sent on, but then she connected on
Speaker 1: the prettiest moonsalt ever to Nya, who was still down.
Speaker 1: Jade had moved out of the way. Otherwise both women
Speaker 1: would have eaten the moon salt, so she was able
Speaker 1: to avoid it. Jade easily was able to break up
Speaker 1: the pen attempt. Stratton countered Cargill's power bomb into a
Speaker 1: Hurrican Rana, and as Tiffany ran towards Jade in the corner,
Speaker 1: she got caught. She was promptly dropped with a modified Jaded.
Speaker 1: She got a one, she got a two. Nia comes
Speaker 1: over and saved the match by pulling the referee out
Speaker 1: of the ring at the very last second. Outside the ring.
Speaker 1: Now Jade is angry, and Jade is outside the ring.
Speaker 1: She clears off the announced desk, but she got thrown
Speaker 1: into the steel steps by Nia. And when I tell
Speaker 1: you that Jade Cargill ate the stairs, she ate the stairs.
Speaker 1: And this is where she came up very badly busted open.
Speaker 1: And this is where the finish of this match. The
Speaker 1: finishing sequence of this match totally fell apart from this
Speaker 1: point on. And I can make a joke about Naya
Speaker 1: Jacks injuring somebody. I will say, though that we have
Speaker 1: not heard any stories about that recently. That was certainly
Speaker 1: a storyline of her last run in the company. I
Speaker 1: think she's been on her best behavior over the last
Speaker 1: year year and a half. We don't hear too many
Speaker 1: stories about Naya Jacks, you know, injuring people, and she's
Speaker 1: had some really good TV matches, so it's been a
Speaker 1: while since we've heard about Naya hurting somebody in the ring.
Speaker 1: But it was almost as if she was making up
Speaker 1: for lost time here, because it wasn't just that Jade
Speaker 1: got hurt. She was badly busted open. She had like
Speaker 1: a fucking gash right above her eyebrow, blood pouring out
Speaker 1: on the floor everywhere, and she didn't notice it at first,
Speaker 1: But when she finally noticed that, she smiled and she
Speaker 1: looked over at Booker T and the announcers and made
Speaker 1: a comment to go about how I made her bleed.
Speaker 1: And so Nya was She cleared off the top part
Speaker 1: of the steps, so we had the flat part and
Speaker 1: she was gonna do some sort of souplex from the steps.
Speaker 1: Jade countered by getting her on her shoulders and she
Speaker 1: dropped her with a samoan drop on the flat part
Speaker 1: of the ring steps. Jade was then shown, I mean
Speaker 1: the camera was right up in her face. They didn't
Speaker 1: shy away from this. That's how you could see how
Speaker 1: bad the cut was. And then they had more of
Speaker 1: a wide shot with the hardcam. The referee was checking
Speaker 1: on the cut and the match kind of stalled out
Speaker 1: here for about I don't know, ten fifteen seconds in
Speaker 1: the ring, Nya got dropped by an eye of the
Speaker 1: storm from Jade, which is one of her signature moves.
Speaker 1: So Jade had the match won and she's sitting on
Speaker 1: top of Naya. Tiffany Stratton was supposed to break up
Speaker 1: the pin. Tiffany was late. You could even see, I
Speaker 1: think naive and looked over and could tell she wasn't
Speaker 1: gonna make it in time. So Nya was not supposed
Speaker 1: to kick out on her own, but she had no choice, right,
Speaker 1: you got improvise, So she kicked out. And as soon
Speaker 1: as she kicked out, now Tiffany comes in with a dropkick,
Speaker 1: and she dropped kicks Jade and then she covers Nya.
Speaker 1: She was going to steal the pin to retain the title,
Speaker 1: so she covers Naya and the referee Daphne Lashawn. She
Speaker 1: drops down, she counts one, and she counts two and
Speaker 1: then she pulls up her count, and I'm watching Naya.
Speaker 1: Her shoulders are down, Tiffany's got the leg hooked. Nobody interfear,
Speaker 1: nobody grabbed the referee. Jade is Jade's I don't know
Speaker 1: where Jade is. Jade's drowning at a pool of her
Speaker 1: own blood. She just held up the count. I don't
Speaker 1: know what happened. I don't know if she was of
Speaker 1: the impression that there was another spot coming, she got confused,
Speaker 1: whatever the case was. The wrestler's sure working use. The
Speaker 1: crowd was confused, the announcers were confused. I was confused,
Speaker 1: and she, I'm sure, felt like total shit as the
Speaker 1: wrestlers are looking at her, going what happened? I don't know.
Speaker 1: The phantom kickout from Naya Jacks, I mean this, you
Speaker 1: could just hear the crowd it was. It was so awful.
Speaker 1: The air just got sucked out of this crowd. It's
Speaker 1: like the finish and again, I don't want to make
Speaker 1: it sound like this was the only botch of the match,
Speaker 1: Like this whole finishing sequence was just botchtastic. It's like
Speaker 1: the finishing sequence of the match was already sick, and
Speaker 1: then this spot here, the phantom kickout just killed it dead.
Speaker 1: That was just the death blow that put it out
Speaker 1: of its misery. So now what do we do right, Well,
Speaker 1: the easiest thing to do just tell Nia to stay
Speaker 1: down and have Tiffany go up and hit her moonsalt
Speaker 1: her actual finish. That's what she did. She went up top,
Speaker 1: she hit the prettiest Moonsalt ever and she got the
Speaker 1: three counts to retain the title, which was the right outcome.
Speaker 1: Would have been the right outcome even if the referee
Speaker 1: had counted it like a shoot, because again Tiffany would
Speaker 1: have won, but it was the right outcome. There was
Speaker 1: no other match with Stephanie at Crown Jewel. I mean
Speaker 1: that made sense. Stephanie and Jade, that would not have
Speaker 1: been the right move to make. Putting the title on
Speaker 1: Jade right now was not the right move to make.
Speaker 1: Putting the title on Nya would have been worse because
Speaker 1: she hasn't They only just brought her back to TV
Speaker 1: recently just to throw her back into the championship picture.
Speaker 1: Nobody wants to see that. So this was the correct
Speaker 1: move to make as far as the outcome of the match.
Speaker 1: And after the match was over, Stephanie Thecaer made her
Speaker 1: way down to the ring to get a better look
Speaker 1: at her opponent at Crown Jewel, and they each held
Speaker 1: up their respective championships. But again, I gotta be honest
Speaker 1: with you, I didn't think this match was all that
Speaker 1: great even before the finishing sequence. I'm not saying it
Speaker 1: was trash or anything like that, but it wasn't that good,
Speaker 1: and finishing sequences made it so much worse. It just
Speaker 1: completely fell apart one after another after another, you know,
Speaker 1: from Jane being busted open the way that she was,
Speaker 1: Tiffany being laid on, breaking up that second to last spot,
Speaker 1: and then of course the mother of all spots in
Speaker 1: this match, the actual supposed finish and whatever the hell
Speaker 1: happened there, and I mean that was pretty much the
Speaker 1: end of that. So it ended things on a sour note.
Speaker 1: But I can't sit here and tell you, man, this
Speaker 1: was a great match that was ruined by the referee.
Speaker 1: It was not a great match, and then it was ruined.
Speaker 1: It was a solid match that was ruined there at
Speaker 1: the very end. So the Crown Jewel title matches are
Speaker 1: now set. We know it's Seth and Cody, we know
Speaker 1: it's Stephanie and Tiffany and do we have any other
Speaker 1: matches that are can Oh? Well, yes, CNN, AJ John,
Speaker 1: which is the match I'm looking forward to on that show? John,
Speaker 1: Cena and AJ styles. Cody and Seth will also be
Speaker 1: a really good match if their past matches or any indication.
Speaker 1: Stephanie and Tiffany should be should be good, should be
Speaker 1: good to me? You never know. I don't know that
Speaker 1: they've worked together. Have they worked together before? I don't know.
Speaker 1: But the Crown Jewel card is incomplete, but already it's
Speaker 1: shaping up to be better than Wreussell Palooza. We'll see
Speaker 1: how the rest of the card shapes up. But yeah,
Speaker 1: this this episode of SmackDown again, it had its moments
Speaker 1: when it was over, though, I just I'm not sitting
Speaker 1: here going, man, what a great SmackDown. I could sit
Speaker 1: here and tell you that it was better than last
Speaker 1: week's show, But you know, again, I feel like I'm
Speaker 1: heaping faint praise on this show. SmackDown is greatly lagging
Speaker 1: behind Raw. This show needs a shot of adrenaline in
Speaker 1: its soul. Cody. Cody's trying, man, He's trying with the
Speaker 1: with the adrenaline in his soul. That's not enough. We
Speaker 1: need we need some soul on this show. All right,
Speaker 1: we need some soul, Ruca, That's what we need. What
Speaker 1: did you think of SmackDown from Orlando? Forty percent give
Speaker 1: this show a thumbs up, twenty nine point six percent
Speaker 1: give the show a thumbs in the middle, and thirty
Speaker 1: percent give the show a thumbs down. So forty up
Speaker 1: thirty down so far for SmackDown from Orlando. SmackDown from
Speaker 1: Orlando is in the books. Let's go through your superchats.
Speaker 1: See what you guys thought. The Arizona Zombie says he
Speaker 1: voted thumbs in the middle on this show, and Nobi says,
Speaker 1: remember solo wwe can't go over five matches on the PLA.
Speaker 1: I know, I know, they get fined by the f
Speaker 1: if they go over five matches. That's the rule. That's
Speaker 1: the new rule that's been instituted. You go over five matches,
Speaker 1: you get penalized. We got death sithe who says, hear
Speaker 1: me out. What if LA Knight keeps losing until he
Speaker 1: beats John Cena in his retirement match, which could finally
Speaker 1: launch l A. Knight into the stratosphere. I mean that
Speaker 1: sounds really interesting, but no, no, that's not happening. Victor says,
Speaker 1: SmackDown really needs Bianca bell airbag. Yes, yes it does.
Speaker 1: And sadly, even just getting Beyonce is not enough. But
Speaker 1: Bianca would be a nice shot in the arm for
Speaker 1: that women's division, for sure. He says, buy sell, rent
Speaker 1: Undertaker from the nineties, the two thousands or the twenty tens,
Speaker 1: Undertaker from the nineties. Undertaker from the nineties and then
Speaker 1: the two thousands and then the twenty tens is dead last.
Speaker 1: Is Cody now Roman's greatest rival or is it someone else?
Speaker 1: I feel like I've talked about this before. I feel
Speaker 1: like it's got to be either Brock or Seth. So no,
Speaker 1: it is not Cody. And Victor says, buy or sell
Speaker 1: Wrestler of two thousand, Rock or Triple H. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: tough because the company was really carried by the two
Speaker 1: of them in the year two thousand. I hate to
Speaker 1: give much more credit to one over the other because
Speaker 1: they were both very Triple H was the chief antagonist
Speaker 1: that year. You know, every great baby face needs a
Speaker 1: great heel to work with. You know, Rock was great,
Speaker 1: but Rock needed Triple H to be that foil and
Speaker 1: Triple H was in his best form in two thousand
Speaker 1: in two thousand and one until he got hurt. But
Speaker 1: again he needed that pun intended. He needed that rock
Speaker 1: solid baby face to work with, and Rock was that guy.
Speaker 1: If I had to go for one over the other.
Speaker 1: As far as the wrestler of two thousand, I gotta
Speaker 1: go Rock. We got Holiday one ninety seven. Hey solo
Speaker 1: considering AJ Styles announced that he will retire next year.
Speaker 1: The John Cena versus AJ Styles match a Crown Jewel
Speaker 1: will be a kind of double Swan song. Here's hoping
Speaker 1: we get Gunther against aj a Wrestlemans. Yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: that's what I said last night. That's you know on TNTs.
Speaker 1: That should be the match of WrestleMania if they get
Speaker 1: him to WrestleMania, because I think his contract is up
Speaker 1: before then, but if they could extend him out and
Speaker 1: get him one last WrestleMania match, I love the idea
Speaker 1: of Gunther being that guy. That's a match we've not gotten.
Speaker 1: That's I thought. Of all the news this week, the
Speaker 1: one that had me in stitches was Kevin Nash having
Speaker 1: a certain reduction surgery. I guess he's no longer called
Speaker 1: Big Sexy you know, there are some people who don't.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying it's you, but there are some people
Speaker 1: who don't get his sense of humor. Like I saw
Speaker 1: that being reported this week as if it were legitimate news.
Speaker 1: In some places. There was some face the facebook pages
Speaker 1: of the worst in these bullshit facebook pages that pop up,
Speaker 1: and they're reporting it as like actual news. Death Side says,
Speaker 1: But in all seriousness, I'm glad he's okay, yes, And
Speaker 1: I'm glad you could take a joke. I'm like some
Speaker 1: people online who, like I said, took that a little
Speaker 1: too seriously. Uh. We got Jeremy Wattley. Thank you for
Speaker 1: the five Jeremy. I hope you're having a good Friday night.
Speaker 1: Kind Of bummed. Jasmine Nicks is leaving. She is green
Speaker 1: but had a good upside. But respect to her standing
Speaker 1: up for herself from being allegedly low balled. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean Jasmin Nicks was just kind of the third wheel
Speaker 1: of fatal influence to me. You know, she maybe she
Speaker 1: had potential. I mean, WWE is not really losing much
Speaker 1: by her leaving, but good for her. I mean, she
Speaker 1: felt like she was given a contract off her and
Speaker 1: the money wasn't what she thought it should be. Then,
Speaker 1: as with any job, you walk away, you walk away. However,
Speaker 1: it is worth pointing out that if she were ever
Speaker 1: called up to the main roster, supposedly the minimum salary
Speaker 1: of a WWE main roster performed. No matter how low
Speaker 1: you are on the card, you can be a KIROTOSAUA.
Speaker 1: You're making a minimum three hundred and fifty thousand dollars
Speaker 1: a year. So if she was worried about not making
Speaker 1: money at a certain level, you know, if they were
Speaker 1: to call up Fatal Influence as a group, she would
Speaker 1: have been part of that, then her salary would have
Speaker 1: been bumped, but there was no indication that that was
Speaker 1: going to happen anytime soon. I don't know what her
Speaker 1: financial situation is. So good for her. You feel like
Speaker 1: you are worth more than what you're being offered, then
Speaker 1: you take your services and go somewhere else. So she
Speaker 1: can go wrestle somewhere else. Or she could start in
Speaker 1: only fans like everybody else does. She could start an
Speaker 1: only fans and probably be a millionaire within two months.
Speaker 1: I'd probably do the same thing. I'm gonna start a
Speaker 1: solo monster OnlyFans. Then I could retire, then I don't
Speaker 1: have to watch smack Down anymore. Death side. So the
Speaker 1: story behind Sina Styles of Crown Jewel is because they
Speaker 1: have been drowning in an Atlantic sized swimming pool of
Speaker 1: bad creative? Is a retirement or oh you mean the
Speaker 1: company bad creative. They're trying to make the fans feel
Speaker 1: like they actually were able to will the match into existence,
Speaker 1: which is very cute, even though the fans had nothing
Speaker 1: to do with any of this. Holliday says, I'll take
Speaker 1: Naya winning the women's US title over Julia's reign. At
Speaker 1: least the title will have a more established name holding it.
Speaker 1: It could free Julia up to maybe feud with some
Speaker 1: bigger names, like who who is she gonna feud with?
Speaker 1: They've done nothing with her, They've done nothing. Who would
Speaker 1: she be feuding with at the top of the car
Speaker 1: that anybody would care about. The whole point is that
Speaker 1: they have not gotten the crowd invested in Juliet. It's
Speaker 1: not a matter of she has to work with big names.
Speaker 1: She should at some point, but whoever she works with,
Speaker 1: you just got to come up with a good story
Speaker 1: and somebody that when you ring the bell, they could
Speaker 1: go out there and have really good matches, because Julie
Speaker 1: is a really good wrestler, so she has to be
Speaker 1: able to work with somebody that she can show her
Speaker 1: skills in the ring with. But there has to be
Speaker 1: a good story. There has to be something there to
Speaker 1: grab you. And you don't have to be Charlotte Flair.
Speaker 1: You don't have to be you know, Tiffany Stratton for that.
Speaker 1: There's no indication they have any anything like that lined
Speaker 1: up for her right now. You know what, Honestly, you
Speaker 1: might just be better off doing that putting the title
Speaker 1: on someone like Naya. At least Nina knows how to
Speaker 1: get heat. Not Q Marris prediction. They bring Vince back
Speaker 1: for a story and after a week it gets canned
Speaker 1: quicker than the fake death because he's named in the
Speaker 1: Epstein Files. That certainly is a fantasy scenario that will
Speaker 1: never ever happen. Broley says, how is it fair to
Speaker 1: Julia and Tiffany that they are wrestling literal bots every
Speaker 1: week while Raw has eo Rhea, Becky Lyra, Kyrie Oscar
Speaker 1: Roxanne lives that. I mean it's just per day. I
Speaker 1: say it every week like I'm not lying. I mean
Speaker 1: it's the imbalance is just striking. Where are we? We're
Speaker 1: still about what fifty likes? Do I fifty for be
Speaker 1: the booker not looking good. We actually got it for
Speaker 1: Dynamite this week, may not get it for SmackDown though.
Speaker 1: Death Site says here's a match they could do for
Speaker 1: WrestleMania forty two, Ria an Eo against the Kabuki Warriors
Speaker 1: against Charlotte and Alexa for the women's tag team titles.
Speaker 1: I mean it's too early to be booking some of
Speaker 1: these women in a WrestleMania match. I mean I could
Speaker 1: see Ria in a singles match against Stephanie. I can
Speaker 1: see Ria in a singles match against any number of people.
Speaker 1: Solo's favorite Siko. Are you looking forward to Collision tomorrow?
Speaker 1: Me too, I know you are. I'll tell you what
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to. I'm looking forward to you looking
Speaker 1: forward to watching Collision. Enjoy the show. Mactubb thoughts on
Speaker 1: Taker kicking Matt ruining the show? Are you talking about
Speaker 1: Undertaker's podcast? I don't give a shit. I don't watch it,
Speaker 1: so I don't give a shit. It's Undertaker. I mean
Speaker 1: it is what it is. It's Undertaker taking the money
Speaker 1: and wanting his show under the WWE banner, so he
Speaker 1: replaced his good friend with his wife. I mean it's
Speaker 1: pretty obvious what happened there, but personally me, I could
Speaker 1: not possibly care any less. Boots look at Boots, Oh
Speaker 1: my god, look at Boots man coming in with a
Speaker 1: fifty dollars bomb. He says. I noticed MLLL was having
Speaker 1: a live show last night on YouTube, so I tune
Speaker 1: in and they are having a cross promotion with Pokemon.
Speaker 1: Seeing a packed crowd with Pokemon masks gave me the
Speaker 1: hebgb's So I slowly backed away and I closed the channel.
Speaker 1: I mean, at least they weren't all sitting there in
Speaker 1: the crowd wearing those masks like from the movie Eyes
Speaker 1: Wide Shut, and that would have been a little freakier
Speaker 1: to me. Mactub I agree with Brett on Triple H
Speaker 1: except that he never had a good match. Part said
Speaker 1: he's like an edge orton level talent push like Hogan
Speaker 1: cause of his wife thoughts. Yeah, I mean again, Brett's
Speaker 1: got his opinion on Triple H. He's entitled to it.
Speaker 1: He doesn't like him, He's never liked him. A lot
Speaker 1: of it has to do with Montreal in ninety seven
Speaker 1: in his role in all that and him paling around
Speaker 1: with somebody who at the time he didn't care for.
Speaker 1: But I always say, I've said it for years that
Speaker 1: Triple H was the guy who worked with the guy.
Speaker 1: You know, he was never the guy himself. And when
Speaker 1: they tried to push him as the guy, which at
Speaker 1: times he might have been pushed as like the top star,
Speaker 1: but he was never the top star. Those periods of
Speaker 1: time were fleeting because he was never going to be
Speaker 1: that person. I think Triple H is a very good talent.
Speaker 1: I don't see Triple H as an elite level talent.
Speaker 1: By elite, I mean like if you were to make
Speaker 1: a Mount Rushmore of talent and I hate using the
Speaker 1: fucking Mount Rushmore shit, but if you were going to
Speaker 1: make a Mount Rushmore and expand Mount Rushmore out to
Speaker 1: five or six people instead of four, he's still not
Speaker 1: on there. He's one level below that. Mikey s thirteen
Speaker 1: after the promo last week, is it's safe to say
Speaker 1: that Togaloa is the favorite to win the Royal Rumble
Speaker 1: Togaloa finishing. You'll notice I ignored the MFT segment tonight
Speaker 1: because I don't care, but yes, he says after the
Speaker 1: promo last week, is it safe to say that Togaloa
Speaker 1: is the favorite to win the Royal Rumble? Togaloa finishing
Speaker 1: his story will feed families. It will, it will, and
Speaker 1: unfortunately it will give those families food poisoning and they
Speaker 1: will all die. Randy Bobandy, thank you Randy for the
Speaker 1: twenty dollars super chat. Been a while since I sent
Speaker 1: a super chat, so I returned with a question favorite
Speaker 1: Seinfeld recurring side character. Frank is hilarious, but for me,
Speaker 1: Putty is the best. Frank Costanzo man, He's a tough
Speaker 1: one to top. I might have to go with Frank, honestly,
Speaker 1: but then you got Newman though, like Newman was great too.
Speaker 1: It's got to be Frank or Newman. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I think I might. I might have to. I don't know,
Speaker 1: I might have to go with Newman. Actually. As far
Speaker 1: as like recurring side characters, so again, we're not talking
Speaker 1: about like one offs, you know, like the soup Nazi
Speaker 1: or oh god, the uh the salesman guy who went
Speaker 1: who went cuckoock? What was his name? That doesn't matter?
Speaker 1: Dev to dust buy or sell or rent, what is
Speaker 1: your favorite Mets team of the twenty first century? Two
Speaker 1: thousand and six Mets, twenty fifteen Mets, for twenty twenty
Speaker 1: four Mets. I mean, none of them won the championships,
Speaker 1: so it's kind of a pointless question. Last year's team
Speaker 1: was a lot of fun to follow, though, especially with
Speaker 1: the OMG stuff. Last last year's team really did feel
Speaker 1: like this this was gonna be the year. But that's
Speaker 1: what they do, man. They make you, they lull you in,
Speaker 1: and they they let you down in the end, time
Speaker 1: after time after time. But I would buy on the
Speaker 1: thin gold buy on twenty twenty four and then rent
Speaker 1: on twenty fifteen, Sell on two thousand and six. Wressell
Speaker 1: Votes noted that Jade getting busted open made them change
Speaker 1: the finish and for them to call the spots on
Speaker 1: the fly, which led to the confusion. Well, my point
Speaker 1: still stands, though, I mean even more so, frankly, if
Speaker 1: that's the case, because if you're the referee and you're
Speaker 1: not even really sure what's going on, which, by the way,
Speaker 1: is just a really difficult position for a referee to
Speaker 1: be put in on the spot like that. But if
Speaker 1: that's the case, the only thing you could do is
Speaker 1: count it as if it's a real fight, you count
Speaker 1: it as a shoot, and it's on the wrestlers to
Speaker 1: do their job. And if they're supposed to get a
Speaker 1: shoulder up, if they're supposed to kick out, that's on them.
Speaker 1: As the referee. All you can do in a situation
Speaker 1: like that is just counted as a shoot. So I
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know why she held up, but
Speaker 1: that's a tough spot to be in. Broley also says
Speaker 1: Jordan Blake sold and send Lyra and Bailey to SmackDown.
Speaker 1: That's fine. I have no issue with that. Drew McIntyre's
Speaker 1: new gimmick is Brett Hart nineteen ninety seven. Uh oh,
Speaker 1: we know how that ended. His triple H going to
Speaker 1: be out there for his match at Survivor Series this
Speaker 1: year when he wrestles Cody and Randy. His Triple H's
Speaker 1: going to be ringing the bell Ragnarok. I have no
Speaker 1: interest in watching Cody and Seth hold these titles until
Speaker 1: WrestleMania Get Knight, Drew punkin AJ. Some runs AJ, especially
Speaker 1: before he retires. Yeah, the best you could hope for
Speaker 1: with AJ is maybe maybe Intercontinental. He's not he's not
Speaker 1: going any higher than that. But yeah, I mean, I
Speaker 1: said this the other night. I'm sure they're going to
Speaker 1: return to Seth and Punk at some point and do
Speaker 1: at least one more match between them. I'm done, Like,
Speaker 1: I'm over it. I have no interest in it at
Speaker 1: this point. Like they've been feuding for two years now,
Speaker 1: enough's enough, you know. I mean again, there's a difference
Speaker 1: between long term storytelling and taking your time and letting
Speaker 1: some stories cook over a period of time. And then
Speaker 1: there's whatever Triple H does, which is he feels like
Speaker 1: he's Martin Scorsese and we tell the best stories, and
Speaker 1: so we're going to take our time with all these stories,
Speaker 1: and oh this is so great. We have to really
Speaker 1: drag this out for as long as possible. But then
Speaker 1: he drags it out for so long that by the
Speaker 1: time he gets to the end of it, nobody cares.
Speaker 1: That's the risk you run, right, I mean, not everything
Speaker 1: can be the Cody finishing his story thing with the
Speaker 1: Bloodline a wrestle India forty and I feel like he's
Speaker 1: staked his reputation on that one story, and I'm struggling
Speaker 1: to find something else that I could point to that
Speaker 1: was anywhere near as good as that. But he just
Speaker 1: drags things out, drags him out, drags him out, plays
Speaker 1: it safe. Here we are now Punkin' punkin Rollins, you know,
Speaker 1: still feuding. They brought the wives in, which added a
Speaker 1: little bit of a different element to it. I'm done
Speaker 1: with punkin Rollins. That's it. Move them on to other people.
Speaker 1: I don't want to see this again. Let Seth work
Speaker 1: with somebody else, Let punk work with other people. Enough
Speaker 1: of this enough that side says, fuck it. I wouldn't
Speaker 1: mind seeing Cody Drew Orton fought to in a fatal
Speaker 1: four way for the WWE Championship and FA two can
Speaker 1: just run wild in the match like a Samoan Bulldozer.
Speaker 1: He just kills them all. Just let them loose. Holliday
Speaker 1: says they could have Grayson Waller answer Sammy's Ain's US
Speaker 1: Title Open challenge on the SmackDown before a Crown Jewel,
Speaker 1: but it would be a stretch for Grayson to win
Speaker 1: the title in front of no Grayson Waller should not
Speaker 1: be winning the US title. You want to have him
Speaker 1: answer the open challenge in Australia on TV, fine, I
Speaker 1: wouldn't even do it. At Crown Jewel. You want to
Speaker 1: do it on TV, that's fine. The idea of him
Speaker 1: winning the championship, they could be on fucking Mars for all.
Speaker 1: I cared like that would be awful. You don't have
Speaker 1: him be the one to beat Sammy's aim from the
Speaker 1: US title. Broley says, reminder that BFAB is making main
Speaker 1: roster money. B FAB stuck it out, b FAB pulling
Speaker 1: in the pulling in the uh the money there again,
Speaker 1: minimum three point fifty, Assuming that's where she's at. I'm
Speaker 1: sure she's not complaining. Uh Duff's viz. When do you
Speaker 1: take a banana to the doctors and it's not peeling? Well? Man,
Speaker 1: I first glanced at that, I thought that said something different.
Speaker 1: I thought I said they're not peeing well. I would say, yeah,
Speaker 1: those bananas should go to the doctor and get their
Speaker 1: prostates checked. They have pills for that. Mactub better overall
Speaker 1: performer Austin versus Rock Well, I mean they're two different
Speaker 1: types of performers. One's more of a brawler. I mean
Speaker 1: Rock also is kind of a brawler. Austin in his
Speaker 1: earlier years was more of a technician than the injury.
Speaker 1: He had to changes in ring style. But they're both
Speaker 1: very entertaining, just in very different ways. I know, I
Speaker 1: like them equally. I think they both bring different qualities
Speaker 1: to the table. You know, I can't rank them on
Speaker 1: the spot. Duff's VIDs says, if money doesn't grow on trees,
Speaker 1: then why do banks have branches. It's a good question.
Speaker 1: I don't really have a good answer for that one.
Speaker 1: I think duffs makes a very good point. Mister all Day,
Speaker 1: AJ all Day. Mister AJ all Day says, here's an idea, solo,
Speaker 1: have Julia lose the US title to a big name
Speaker 1: face like a Bianca, so that you can boost the
Speaker 1: title like Becky boosted the IC title. Sadly, Bianca is
Speaker 1: also needed in the main event mix. I mean, if
Speaker 1: you want to elevate the United States Championship to the
Speaker 1: same level as the IC title, then that's what they're
Speaker 1: going to have to do. That's why I said, you
Speaker 1: know what, whoever it was before, I don't if it
Speaker 1: was Broley or who it was, but mentioned putting the
Speaker 1: US title on Nya Jacks. You would think that that's
Speaker 1: something I would be vehemently against, but honestly, it might
Speaker 1: not be for the US title for the sake of
Speaker 1: the title. It might not be the worst idea, It
Speaker 1: really wouldn't. I just don't see how that title is
Speaker 1: benefiting Julia. I mean, she she holding it right now
Speaker 1: is not benefiting the US title. But the US title
Speaker 1: is not benefiting her because it was never established in
Speaker 1: the first place. That's the problem. So you're better off
Speaker 1: having somebody with a big enough name that they could
Speaker 1: help elevate the prestige of the title which was never
Speaker 1: elevated in the first place. And maybe it's not Nigh,
Speaker 1: and maybe it's some other bigger name that people are
Speaker 1: invested in, but it's pretty clear to me at this
Speaker 1: point that it's just not happening. With Julia being in
Speaker 1: the situation that she's in, it's just not going to change.
Speaker 1: Duffvid says, why should you never fight a dinosaur? You'll
Speaker 1: get your ask kicked. Thank you, duffs jurass kicked. We're
Speaker 1: up to three ninety on the likes. Nick Grosso says
Speaker 1: Dana Brook forfeited the TNA Knockouts title and gave a
Speaker 1: speech that sounded like she was retiring. Says hope she's okay. Also,
Speaker 1: Kelanie Jordan won the TNA Knockouts title. Well, I guess
Speaker 1: I don't have to watch it now, thanks Nick. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean hopefully she's okay. I mean, you know, Dana
Speaker 1: brook Is, the Knockouts champion was certainly a choice, not
Speaker 1: the best choice, but hopefully on a personal level, hopefully
Speaker 1: everything's okay. If she forfeited the title, that's sounds like
Speaker 1: an injury, so hopefully it's nothing too serious. Death sithe.
Speaker 1: I bet if Steve Blackman hadn't gotten injured in the
Speaker 1: brawl for all, he would have won, and then he
Speaker 1: would have killed an eaten butter bean at wrestlemany of fifteen.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, he would have. If anybody could do it,
Speaker 1: it's him, Mystic j forty four, buy or sell who
Speaker 1: was the better horror villain this year? Remick from Sinners
Speaker 1: or Gladys from Weapons. I gotta go Remick. I gotta
Speaker 1: go Remick Arabian nine two thousand. I bet Julia regrets
Speaker 1: signing with WWE. She's very wrestling focused. I think AW
Speaker 1: would have been the better fit stylistically. Even Tekla is
Speaker 1: in a better spot. You know what, You're not wrong?
Speaker 1: Isn't a better spot? Tecla's actually wrestling matches and she's
Speaker 1: in this grudge feud with Queen Amanada. She was just
Speaker 1: in the four way it all out for the Women's
Speaker 1: World Championship. You know what, You're not wrong. No, whether
Speaker 1: or not Julia would you know, agree with that, I
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know if she's disappointed with how
Speaker 1: things are going, if if she's just sort of caught
Speaker 1: up in the glitz and glamour of WWE. Like Mariah May,
Speaker 1: it was always her dream to work for WWE. I
Speaker 1: don't know if it was Julia's dream. So I mean,
Speaker 1: I can't get in the woman's head. And no for sure,
Speaker 1: but Techla's doing okay right now? Uh duff Svid's what
Speaker 1: is a pilot's favorite flavor? Plane? Plane? Thank you us.
Speaker 1: We are currently at four hundred and fourteen likes. Thank
Speaker 1: you very much. Let's be the booker, ladies and gentlemen,
Speaker 1: it is now time to be the booker. All right,
Speaker 1: here we go. I'm gonna try to book a better
Speaker 1: show than SmackDown tonight. Wish me luck. It's a little
Speaker 1: unfair because I have access to all these legends, some
Speaker 1: of whom are no longer with us. But I'm gonna
Speaker 1: try to book a better card. Let's see how I do.
Speaker 1: I've already booked a better card. We have The Heart Foundation,
Speaker 1: Bret the Hitman Heart and Jim the Anvil Night Heart.
Speaker 1: There you go. I've already I don't even know who
Speaker 1: the opponents are going to be, and I've already booked
Speaker 1: a better card than SmackDown tonight. Oh my goodness, gracious,
Speaker 1: oh my. The Heart Foundation against the British Bulldogs. You
Speaker 1: want a tag team match, there's your tag team match. Now.
Speaker 1: You tell me, are you gonna watch the Street Profits
Speaker 1: against Mellow don't, miz, Or you're gonna watch the Heart
Speaker 1: Foundation against the British Bulldogs. Don't answer that. It's a
Speaker 1: rhetorical question. I already know the answer. You're welcome. Look
Speaker 1: at all the bells. I haven't seen this many bells
Speaker 1: since Christmas. Look at all the bells in the chat.
Speaker 1: The Heart Foundation against the British Bulldogs. Now on the
Speaker 1: women's side, we have Cora Jade, who is not even
Speaker 1: wrestling anymore. She's another one who I think is a
Speaker 1: millionaire now off of her only fans, she is the
Speaker 1: only fans champion. Or is that still Mandy Act? She's
Speaker 1: probably still Mandy Rose Cora Jade against Mayu Ewatani. Mayu
Speaker 1: Ewatani is wrestling Eo Sky on The Marigold Show on
Speaker 1: October twenty sixth. Get ready Eo against Mayu an OnlyFans match? Alright,
Speaker 1: main event? How about this, We'll make this the only
Speaker 1: fans match. Don't blame me, He's the one who said it.
Speaker 1: This is gonna be our only fans match. Here we go,
Speaker 1: will Ospray in an OnlyFans match. This is what you
Speaker 1: people ask for. Will Ospray in the main event in
Speaker 1: an only fans match against Damian Priest. Well, I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm not a fan of the stipulation, but will Osprey
Speaker 1: against Damian Priest is a fine main event. And that
Speaker 1: right there is a clean sweep. Looks like we only
Speaker 1: get one round tonight, but at least we made it
Speaker 1: a good one. No no, no, no no, it's a note
Speaker 1: with the women. No. Somebody in the chat said an
Speaker 1: OnlyFans match, and I was already choosing for the main event.
Speaker 1: So that was your main event. Mac Tubb says, why
Speaker 1: did Brett and Sean not excel as the top guys?
Speaker 1: I think they excelled just fine. I don't know what
Speaker 1: criteria you're judging that off. They're both in the Hall
Speaker 1: of Fame, they both held multiple World championships, and as
Speaker 1: a bleak as business was at times during the New
Speaker 1: Generation era, it would have been far worse if they
Speaker 1: didn't have a Brett Hart and a Shawn Michaels at
Speaker 1: the top of the car. If all they had was
Speaker 1: Diesel and the Undertaker in SID, then they would have
Speaker 1: been in far worse shape. But if you're comparing them
Speaker 1: to the likes of a Hulk Hogan, I don't even
Speaker 1: think I really need to answer that. It should be
Speaker 1: pretty clear why that was. And as far as your
Speaker 1: Taker's podcast one, I didn't miss it. You missed it.
Speaker 1: You gotta go back and check it out. I read
Speaker 1: it before it was on screen. Was that on a
Speaker 1: pl stream or one of the weekly shows? Are you
Speaker 1: talking about the Hogan Versus Hogan? Somebody asked about Hogan
Speaker 1: versus Hogan, the mirror match and be the booker. I
Speaker 1: think we did that. It might have actually happened more
Speaker 1: than once. But as far as what stream it was, chief,
Speaker 1: I have no idea. I have no clue that happened
Speaker 1: a while ago. I think was Hollywood Hogan. Was it
Speaker 1: Hollywood Hogan against Hollywood Hogan or Hollywood Hogan against Red
Speaker 1: and Yellow Hogan. I can't remember. Corey says, we're still
Speaker 1: talking about Brett and Sean thirty years later. They're still over. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think they did actually quite well for themselves. We
Speaker 1: got Brett versus Brett in be the booker. Oh we did,
Speaker 1: didn't we. He doesn't get any better than that. I
Speaker 1: think we had Kurt Angle against Kurt Angle once as well.
Speaker 1: Hey Markel, a great stream Lol, Thank you Markel. I
Speaker 1: hope you're feeling better. Thank you, Markel. We also had
Speaker 1: a member chat earlier from Reekinson celebrating forty six months
Speaker 1: of membership. What a show live tonight. Definitely better than
Speaker 1: Raw from Tampa. Sorry about your Mets. Well, they're a
Speaker 1: sorry team, so it kind of makes sense. That's right.
Speaker 1: Reacinsent is a he's he's Florida man, So whenever they're
Speaker 1: in Florida for these shows, I always wonder if he's
Speaker 1: at the shows. We've had several be the bookers with
Speaker 1: EO against EO. It's another fine match. Well, we'll see,
Speaker 1: I guess on Monday if we hit the goal. We
Speaker 1: do be the booker again. Maybe we'll do another mirror match.
Speaker 1: Maybe we'll do EO against EO. We'll do Ria against Rhea.
Speaker 1: You never know what it's going to land on. It's
Speaker 1: totally random. It's totally random. Bash says, my cubs are
Speaker 1: doing good. Well good. I hope it all works out
Speaker 1: for you. I have no hate for the Cubs, only
Speaker 1: the Phillies. I hope you do well. Oscar's newest video
Speaker 1: on her channel just uploaded. It's great. Oh that's the
Speaker 1: Kana Chen channel. I think I'm subscribed. I'll have to
Speaker 1: check that out. She's got good stuff on that channel.
Speaker 1: Shout out to Olivia, Olivia, fan of the chat. I
Speaker 1: love this show. I love you too, Olivia. I hope
Speaker 1: you have a good weekend. I hope everybody has a
Speaker 1: good weekend. It's gonna be a great Sunday because we
Speaker 1: have episode nine thirty one of the sound Off. All right,
Speaker 1: I will see you guys on Monday night for the
Speaker 1: raw post show. You well, stay safe. Thank you for
Speaker 1: spending part of your Friday night with me. Check out
Speaker 1: episode nine thirty one of the sound Off coming up
Speaker 1: later in the afternoon on Sunday until then take care guys.
