Speaker 1: Well, finally Wressell Palooza is upon us. We won't have
Speaker 1: to hear the name Wreussell Palooza after tomorrow, the kickoff
Speaker 1: of the ESPN Era. In case you didn't know, I
Speaker 1: don't know how you would not know if you would
Speaker 1: have watched this show tonight. They made that very clear.
Speaker 1: You know. I have to say as I was watching
Speaker 1: this conclusion to this episode of smack though, which was
Speaker 1: not a terrible show. It was a solid enough go
Speaker 1: home show. But there's a pattern that is developing here.
Speaker 1: Where would this show be if it wasn't for the
Speaker 1: Sammy's A and US Title Open Challenge matches? Like if
Speaker 1: you take those matches out of the equation and you
Speaker 1: look at SmackDown, like fucking yikes. Seriously, where would this
Speaker 1: show be without those matches? Because those matches have become
Speaker 1: the highlight of SmackDown ever since they started. So I
Speaker 1: don't know what that says about the rest of the show,
Speaker 1: but thank god we at least have that. What we
Speaker 1: had in the the closing segment tonight was Cody Rhodes
Speaker 1: and Drew McIntyre. They are wrestling for the WWE Championship tomorrow.
Speaker 1: We now know that will be the main event of
Speaker 1: the show. They are closing the show with the WWE
Speaker 1: title match. That is the belief. We certainly know what
Speaker 1: match is not closing the show. We know John Cena
Speaker 1: and Brock Lesner are opening the show. They did confirm that. Well,
Speaker 1: we had a contract signing with Cody and Drew, and
Speaker 1: we haven't really had a whole lot of interaction between
Speaker 1: the two of them because Cody was gone. He was away,
Speaker 1: he was filming Street Fighter as Roman Reigns is right now.
Speaker 1: He's gone, he's filming. So in terms of the build
Speaker 1: up to this WWE title batge, we really haven't gotten
Speaker 1: a whole hell of a lot, right McIntyre Cody into
Speaker 1: the announced desk that was over a month ago, Cody vanished,
Speaker 1: Cody came back, We got a contract signing, and when
Speaker 1: it was over, the champion was left laying, the challenger
Speaker 1: was standing tall. Probably doesn't bode well for Drew McIntyre.
Speaker 1: But I have to say, if they are closing the
Speaker 1: show with Cody Roads and Drew McIntyre tomorrow, they have
Speaker 1: to do something big, and the biggest thing that you
Speaker 1: could do would be to put the WWE Championship on
Speaker 1: Drew McIntyre. But I just can't. I just don't see it.
Speaker 1: I don't see it. Cody is defending his title for
Speaker 1: the first time since winning it back at Summer Slim.
Speaker 1: This is his first title defense since beating John Cena,
Speaker 1: and they're just gonna take the championship away from him.
Speaker 1: I would certainly consider doing it, I just can't. I
Speaker 1: can't see them doing it. But if this is going
Speaker 1: to be the main event of the show, something big
Speaker 1: has to happen. Does that involve Randy Orton? Are we
Speaker 1: gonna get a Randy Orton heel turn at the end
Speaker 1: of Russell Palooza tomorrow? That would certainly be a big development.
Speaker 1: But I just can't see this being the main event
Speaker 1: and then doing just the you know, Cody beats Drew, right,
Speaker 1: how fucking lame would that be, or just doing some
Speaker 1: sort of nonsensical finish without there being some kind of
Speaker 1: big angle that they do to close that show. But
Speaker 1: they were in the closing segment on tonight's show, brock Lesner,
Speaker 1: as he willed tomorrow, he opened the show and he
Speaker 1: wreaked all kinds of havoc in the opening segment leaving
Speaker 1: an announcer lay. He was attacking the announcers tonight, which
Speaker 1: is a very interesting way of building up his match
Speaker 1: here with John Cena, and the closest thing to any
Speaker 1: sort of explanation, and it's not really an explanation, but
Speaker 1: it's the closest thing to cling to as far as
Speaker 1: why he has been attacking John Cena. Actually came later
Speaker 1: on in a video package where we got a little
Speaker 1: snippet from Brock talking about how John is on this
Speaker 1: stage phony retirement tour and I'm gonna fuck it all up.
Speaker 1: That's the closest thing to an explanation that we've gotten
Speaker 1: of why Brock lesnar shows now after two years to
Speaker 1: come back and go after John Cena. Of course, John
Speaker 1: Cena was not on the show tonight because he is
Speaker 1: done with SmackDown. We will not see him on SmackDown
Speaker 1: ever again here for the duration of his retirement tour.
Speaker 1: We did have another entry in the US Title Open Challenge,
Speaker 1: thank god, because without it, my God, this show would
Speaker 1: have sucked. Samy' zaining defending the championship against Carmelo Hayes,
Speaker 1: another very good match. We had the women's tag team
Speaker 1: titles on the line as well, which wasn't so good.
Speaker 1: It was fine, it was decent. It really wasn't anything special,
Speaker 1: and that's a great way to describe this episode of SmackDown,
Speaker 1: not really anything special. They did the hard sell for
Speaker 1: the things they had to do the hard sell for.
Speaker 1: But the two key matches that they built up on
Speaker 1: this show, if you really think about the way they've
Speaker 1: built those matches up, has left a lot to be desired.
Speaker 1: And the best built match on this entire pl tomorrow
Speaker 1: involves a woman who has not wrestled in ten years.
Speaker 1: That mixed tag match with see I'm Punk and aj
Speaker 1: Lee against Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch is the best
Speaker 1: built match on that pl tomorrow. The two key matches
Speaker 1: on SmackDown, they've done the bare minimum of what they
Speaker 1: could do. Some people weren't available, whatever the case may be,
Speaker 1: but here we are and it is still a five
Speaker 1: match card. There was talk of it being expanded to six.
Speaker 1: In fact, there was a Women's Championship triple threat match
Speaker 1: that was listed apparently on some of the t shirts
Speaker 1: for the show. Plans change, and it has nothing to
Speaker 1: do with an injury. We'll talk about that as well.
Speaker 1: This is your Friday Night SmackDown review. It is September nineteenth,
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five. I am the Solemn Monster. Thank you
Speaker 1: for hanging out with me here on a Friday night.
Speaker 1: Do me a favor like and subscribe. Super chats are
Speaker 1: open as well. We have a little goal going in
Speaker 1: the chat. You will see they will be triggered on
Speaker 1: screen as they come in. Hey, the Bubba Fetts in
Speaker 1: the chat has the right idea. I've heard from a
Speaker 1: lot of people asking me about the VPN. That's how
Speaker 1: I will be tuning into Wrestle Pollouza tomorrow, and I
Speaker 1: suggest you do the same, especially if you are someone
Speaker 1: who does not have access to ESPN and they're going
Speaker 1: to force you to pay thirty bucks for this five
Speaker 1: match card tomorrow. Tell you ExpressVPN and Netflix it's all
Speaker 1: you need. You got a Netflix account, You're good man.
Speaker 1: These PL's are still airing internationally on Netflix in most markets.
Speaker 1: So that's what he's doing, he says in the chat.
Speaker 1: That's what a lot of you guys should be doing
Speaker 1: tomorrow when you tune into Wrestle Palooza. You'll thank me later.
Speaker 1: I get those super chats on in I'm going to
Speaker 1: be reading your messages and we'll have some fun with that. Also,
Speaker 1: I want to mention channel memberships always open. And just
Speaker 1: before SmackDown went on the air tonight, I actually got
Speaker 1: up a new episode of the lost episodes. This one's
Speaker 1: pretty cool. Among the lost episodes of the sound off
Speaker 1: is this edition of SI Scoops Live from March twenty fourth,
Speaker 1: two thousand and eight, right before WrestleMania twenty four. This
Speaker 1: was the old Monday night raw post show that myself
Speaker 1: and Noah Mark did for a period of time, and
Speaker 1: we have live call ins. We do WrestleMania prediction, some
Speaker 1: cool stuff going back and listening to it that is
Speaker 1: up right now, just went up tonight. If you are
Speaker 1: on the Legends Tier Legends Tier Channel members, you have
Speaker 1: access to that almost an hour of that episode of
Speaker 1: SE Scoops Live. You want to talk about going back
Speaker 1: in the vault. There you go. That's going back in
Speaker 1: the vault right there, So go ahead and check that out.
Speaker 1: More content to come. Now's a great time to become
Speaker 1: a channel member. Let's get into this show. Here they'll
Speaker 1: talk about SmackDown. Saidro again, thank you, and we'll be
Speaker 1: getting to your message and everybody else is here as
Speaker 1: we go along. They opened the show tonight with a
Speaker 1: shot of Michael Cole and Corey Graves and Bob Way.
Speaker 1: Wade Barrett is scheduled back any week now. Wade Barrett
Speaker 1: was only taking two weeks off. He is going to
Speaker 1: be back likely. I don't know if he'll be there
Speaker 1: at Russell Polluza tomorrow. I think Pat McAfee's going to
Speaker 1: be back on the show since it's in Indianapolis. But
Speaker 1: by next week I would expect to see Wade Barrett
Speaker 1: back on TV. But they opened with Cole and Corey
Speaker 1: Graves at ringside announcing that John Cena versus brock Lesner
Speaker 1: is going to open the show tomorrow at Russell Palooza.
Speaker 1: Cole said that he was supposed to sit down with
Speaker 1: Brock for an interview later on, but he was being
Speaker 1: told in his ear Tony Kahn was telling him he
Speaker 1: relays those messages to Tony Schavani every week. He was
Speaker 1: relaying a message that Brock apparently wanted to talk now.
Speaker 1: So Cole took his glasses off and he stood up
Speaker 1: and he went to go interview brock Lesner. He made
Speaker 1: it as far as the isle before Lesner's music hit.
Speaker 1: An outcomes Cowboy Brock and he walks down the aisle
Speaker 1: and Michael Cole looks like he's about to shit himself.
Speaker 1: Terrible dry Chicken says. Wade Barrett and Pat McAfee are
Speaker 1: doing commentary on Russell Paloosas there you go. Wade Barrett
Speaker 1: will be back according to him tomorrow. I said he's
Speaker 1: gonna be back any week now. Yeah, Welfare Queen says,
Speaker 1: my mom misses Jacob fa tou Yeah. Where's he been?
Speaker 1: I see he's been doing some dark matches. I think
Speaker 1: he had a dark match last week against RUSSEV. That's
Speaker 1: great and all. Where the fuck is Jacob fa tu boy?
Speaker 1: Did they cool him off? Where's he been now? But
Speaker 1: we got a vignette tonight with Tongaaloa and Solo Socoa.
Speaker 1: It's ridiculous. Brock walks down the aisle. He grabs Michael
Speaker 1: Cole like a child and he puts him over his shoulder.
Speaker 1: He proceeds then to walk around the ring. He circles
Speaker 1: the ringside area with him, walks up the ring steps
Speaker 1: and then dumps him into the ring and Brock follows
Speaker 1: him into the ring and he had Cole in the corner.
Speaker 1: He was threatening to destroy this man. Corey Graves could
Speaker 1: take no more. Corey Graves is a man that sticks
Speaker 1: up for his friends, and so he puts his headset down.
Speaker 1: He gets into the ring and he approaches Brock. This
Speaker 1: is like approaching a wild animal, you know, in a zoo.
Speaker 1: You're not supposed to get that close. Bad things could happen.
Speaker 1: And he's trying to calm down Brock Lesner, which is
Speaker 1: a terrible idea. And so for his efforts, Brock grabs Corey,
Speaker 1: he picks him up on his shoulders and he delivers
Speaker 1: an F five and that is the first bump that
Speaker 1: Corey Graves has taken since he retired in was that
Speaker 1: eleven years ago? Twenty fourteen? I believe now he's been
Speaker 1: medically clear. For those who don't know, Corey Graves is
Speaker 1: medically cleared. If you wanted to wrestle, take bumps. He's
Speaker 1: been medically cleared for about three years now. He just
Speaker 1: chooses not to so every now and then to use
Speaker 1: him in an angle like this could be very effective.
Speaker 1: So he gets laid out with an F five. The
Speaker 1: craft starts chanting for John Cena Lesner grabs the camera
Speaker 1: and he begins yelling into it, and he's saying, John,
Speaker 1: it's D Day tomorrow. I'm coming for blood. That's as
Speaker 1: close to an explanation as we're gonna get. That in
Speaker 1: that little little snippet from the interview package later on,
Speaker 1: that's about as close to an explanation as we're gonna get.
Speaker 1: He wants blood, Brock, he's a vampire. Brock is back
Speaker 1: for blood. So after that, he paces around ringside. He
Speaker 1: destroys the prime hydration station. I've been waiting for somebody
Speaker 1: to do that. Of course he does it. Nobody's gonna
Speaker 1: tell him not to. He's throwing shit around, he's picking
Speaker 1: up the ring steps, and he sees it in the ring.
Speaker 1: A bunch of producers have gotten into the ring to
Speaker 1: try to assist Corey. He gets into the ring, he
Speaker 1: chases all of them away, and then he picks Graves
Speaker 1: back up. He delivers a second F five, and the
Speaker 1: crowd was so concerned for Corey Graves, for the welfare
Speaker 1: of this man. They begin channing one more time, and Brock,
Speaker 1: being the heel, does not oblige. He leaves the ring.
Speaker 1: Everybody booze and Brock heads to the back. It was
Speaker 1: a hot segment. I'll say that it was a chaotic
Speaker 1: way to start the show. It was a different way
Speaker 1: to start the show, which I appreciate. You know, when
Speaker 1: they deviate from the norm and they do something that
Speaker 1: hasn't been done in a while, it's good, right because
Speaker 1: they follow the same formula generally week to week. So
Speaker 1: I like what they did here in this segment. The chaos.
Speaker 1: I don't know that it does much to add to
Speaker 1: the match with him and John necessarily, you know, it
Speaker 1: just reinforces the idea that this man isn't just like
Speaker 1: an uncaged animal, right, He's like a wild beast, and
Speaker 1: you don't know what he's capable of, You don't know
Speaker 1: what he's you know, how far he's willing to go.
Speaker 1: I mean, that was the idea basically that they were
Speaker 1: driving home. But this is a match that has not
Speaker 1: had any real build. You know, these two obviously have
Speaker 1: history together, They've had many matches before, but in terms
Speaker 1: of this one, this being their final one, there has
Speaker 1: not been much build to speak of here in this match,
Speaker 1: and it has been sold purely based off of the
Speaker 1: names involved. You know, John Cena has a very limited
Speaker 1: number of matches left. Brock Lesner is wrestling his first
Speaker 1: match in over two years. They're both big names, and
Speaker 1: that's how the match is being sold, and that might
Speaker 1: work for some people, it doesn't work for others. There
Speaker 1: are some people, I'm sure, who were very excited to
Speaker 1: see this match again, and I know there were a
Speaker 1: lot of people who are not. Doesn't mean they're not
Speaker 1: going to tune in, but it's hard to get overly
Speaker 1: excited for a match that either you've seen a bunch
Speaker 1: of times before, you know, and now they're a lot older,
Speaker 1: or the story that you're looking for just isn't there.
Speaker 1: Whether or not this is a match that needs story,
Speaker 1: I guess we'll find out, you know, we'll see because
Speaker 1: this show has largely been sold off of this match.
Speaker 1: You know they're opening the show with it, But for
Speaker 1: all intents and purposes, this is the real main event.
Speaker 1: You know of Wreussell Palloza. When Joe Tessitor was on
Speaker 1: Sports Center a few weeks ago and said, the main
Speaker 1: event is John Cena against brock Lesnar. It doesn't matter
Speaker 1: where it is on the card, you know it is
Speaker 1: it really is that whole show. Look at the posters.
Speaker 1: This whole show has really been built around this match.
Speaker 1: So but of course they are opening the show with
Speaker 1: it so Lesner can get back to Saskatchewan as quickly
Speaker 1: as possible. I guarantee you that Lesner that plane is
Speaker 1: going to touch down on the tarmac up in Saskatchewan.
Speaker 1: The main event will not even be in the ring yet,
Speaker 1: Cody and Drew will not even have made their entrances
Speaker 1: down to the ring, and Brock will be back home,
Speaker 1: safe and sound in Saskatchewan. He is going to get
Speaker 1: out of there as quickly as humanly possible. Now, when
Speaker 1: they came back from the break, Corey Graves was still
Speaker 1: face down in the ring. Producers were checking on him,
Speaker 1: Michael Cole pointing out to them. I think he said like, oh,
Speaker 1: his neck is starting to swell. I could have sworn
Speaker 1: that's what he said. Oh, look, his neck is starting
Speaker 1: to starting to swell. He took two face bumps on
Speaker 1: the F five, but his neck is starting to swell.
Speaker 1: So they cut to the back. Brock is walking and
Speaker 1: he stops in his tracks because he sees something, and
Speaker 1: he walks over and the camera pans over and what
Speaker 1: does he see? He sees his old friend and nemesis
Speaker 1: Paul Hayman. It's been a while since these two have
Speaker 1: come face to face. So they share a bit of
Speaker 1: a tense stare down here. And Hayman was not alone.
Speaker 1: He was had bron Breaker and Bronze and Read with him,
Speaker 1: so they share you're a tense stare down for a
Speaker 1: moment before Lesner tells him we should talk and then
Speaker 1: he walks off. Very interesting. So then Nick All this
Speaker 1: the general manager of SmackDown. He shows up. He warns
Speaker 1: the Vision don't cause any more problems tonight. I don't
Speaker 1: know why you're here, but I have a contract signing
Speaker 1: later on with Cody and Drew. I don't want anything
Speaker 1: messed up. And Hayman assure you. He says, oh, we're
Speaker 1: looking for the USOS. Do you know where they are?
Speaker 1: And all this says you know, Dan well that they're
Speaker 1: not here. And with that, Hayman and the Vision they
Speaker 1: left saying we're simply here to enjoy the show. But
Speaker 1: that was a very interesting tease there between Lesner and Hayman.
Speaker 1: My first thought when I see something like that, Brock
Speaker 1: is never going to learn. He's never going to learn
Speaker 1: this man has turned on him. Twice in the past,
Speaker 1: twice in twenty plus. You would think he would learn
Speaker 1: his lesson that this man is not to be trusted,
Speaker 1: but evidently he doesn't seem to mind, and he's still
Speaker 1: willing to do business with Paul Hayman. What kind of
Speaker 1: business though? You know Lesner and Hayman is a duo.
Speaker 1: It's just such a natural pairing. If they really did
Speaker 1: want to put them back together. And I'm not saying
Speaker 1: Brock has to join the Vision, but if you wanted
Speaker 1: to put Lesner and Hayman back together, I'm okay with that.
Speaker 1: It's a natural pairing, as natural as Undertaker and Paul
Speaker 1: Behar were pairing for so many years, right. They just
Speaker 1: go so well together. It just makes sense. But my
Speaker 1: other thought, of course, ties into what's coming up in
Speaker 1: a couple of months, which a Survivor series and the
Speaker 1: very likely probability that the Vision will be playing a
Speaker 1: role in the Men's Wargames match. Now, right now, there's
Speaker 1: only three members of the Vision, right seth Rollins, bron Breaker,
Speaker 1: Bronson Reid, so they would need some help if it's
Speaker 1: four on four, if it's five on five. But if
Speaker 1: you assume that they're going to be on the heels
Speaker 1: side of a Wargames match. And now we have Hayman
Speaker 1: and Lesner are teasing, Oh, we need to talk, right,
Speaker 1: We need to have a conversation, a conversation about what
Speaker 1: is it possible that Paul Hayman will enlist the services
Speaker 1: of Brock Lesner to be joining forces with the Vision
Speaker 1: in a Wargames match. Absolutely, I think it's possible. And
Speaker 1: if so, I could see Lesner and the Vision on
Speaker 1: one side and maybe they need one more person, But
Speaker 1: you got that crew, and on the other side of
Speaker 1: the ring, you got John Cena, who's never been as Brock,
Speaker 1: never been in a Wargames match before. You can have
Speaker 1: John Cena, Roman Reigns, cmpunk all on the same team
Speaker 1: or John Cena, Roman Reigns and the USOS. Actually, you
Speaker 1: know what would be really cool if they could figure
Speaker 1: out a way to work someone like Jacob Fatu into
Speaker 1: that equation. Again, he has been absent on SmackDown now
Speaker 1: for weeks and has been severely cooled off. Now, what
Speaker 1: I would like to see is if you're gonna do
Speaker 1: something like that works someone like him into the equation,
Speaker 1: because you would have bron Breaker and Bronson Reid on
Speaker 1: the other side, right, And bron Breker is someone who
Speaker 1: people look at as oh the future of WWEE right, Oh,
Speaker 1: he's gonna headline multiple WrestleManias. Guess what, so can Jacob Fatu.
Speaker 1: He should be worked into that equation as well. How
Speaker 1: about a John Cena Roman range Jacob fa Tu team
Speaker 1: with one or two other people against Brock and the vision.
Speaker 1: I could see that vision, I could get behind that.
Speaker 1: That would be an interesting wargames match. So that, I
Speaker 1: think is the first tease of what's to come, because
Speaker 1: I don't know that we're looking at a full blown
Speaker 1: reunion between Lesler and Hayman. But if they're gonna do business,
Speaker 1: what else would they be doing business for if it's
Speaker 1: not tied into wargames in some way. So that'll be
Speaker 1: something very interesting to keep an eye on going forward.
Speaker 1: Let's move on here, because back in the arena, Michael
Speaker 1: Cole returned to the announced desk. He was at a
Speaker 1: loss for words about what happened to his partner. He
Speaker 1: said that in the years that he's been on commentary,
Speaker 1: he never felt as helpless as he did tonight. Cole said, well,
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know about that. I do recall
Speaker 1: a certain segment on this show many years ago where
Speaker 1: he was shoved up against the wall by one heiden
Speaker 1: Reich where he looked kind of helpless. But you know,
Speaker 1: the less said about that, the better. He said that
Speaker 1: if that's what awaited John Cena tomorrow, he doesn't know
Speaker 1: if even Sina has the answers for brock Lester. Charlotte
Speaker 1: Flair and Alexa Bliss were up next. They were defending
Speaker 1: the women's tag team titles against Chelsea Green and Alba Fire.
Speaker 1: Still no sign of Piper Niven, so whatever is going
Speaker 1: on with Piper? She has been mia for several weeks now.
Speaker 1: Chelsea took a shot at Alexa in the corner, ended
Speaker 1: up eating an elbow from Charlotte. Bliss tagged herself in.
Speaker 1: She went to work on Chelsea and Alba. The challengers
Speaker 1: ended up with the advantage heading into a commercial break.
Speaker 1: Ring In the commercial break, the mizz came down to
Speaker 1: ringside to join Michael Cole on commentary and sit in
Speaker 1: for Corey Graves for the remainder of the show. So
Speaker 1: they returned from the break, Bliss was desperately reaching for
Speaker 1: the tag, trying to get that tag she almost got it.
Speaker 1: Charlotte got pulled from the apron by Alba, which gave
Speaker 1: Chelsea a chance to continue her attack. Chelsea ended up
Speaker 1: missing a shoulder tackle. This allowed Bliss to finally get
Speaker 1: the hot tag to Charlotte. Charlotte teed off with chops
Speaker 1: on both women. She tried to set up for the
Speaker 1: figure eight Green, though provided a distraction and ate a
Speaker 1: big boot. Alba went for a roll up, could not
Speaker 1: get the pin, and as Charlotte headed up top, Chelsea
Speaker 1: grabbed her leg, which allowed Alba to connect with the
Speaker 1: Swanton bomb. Bliss broke up the pin. Bliss and Flair.
Speaker 1: They delivered stereo natural selections to Chelsea and Alba, and
Speaker 1: Charlotte got the pin on Chelsea to retain the tag
Speaker 1: team titles. Decent little defense here for the champs. They
Speaker 1: were also successful on the NXT homecoming show this week.
Speaker 1: You know it was fine. Hopefully they can put their
Speaker 1: issues with the secret hervists in the rear view. The
Speaker 1: challenge now is I mean, they have not established any
Speaker 1: other team as the obvious next in line challengers for
Speaker 1: Charlotte and Alexa. So the risk you run here is
Speaker 1: that if you really have not set anybody else up
Speaker 1: as the obvious challengers, and they don't have a story
Speaker 1: with somebody else kind of ready and waiting here, you
Speaker 1: could end up kind of stalling the momentum that they
Speaker 1: have as far as their characters go. I don't know
Speaker 1: who's next for them. I really don't. There isn't much
Speaker 1: of a division to speak of, and I do think
Speaker 1: the pairing has done wonders for Charlotte. But now you
Speaker 1: start getting into okay, do they have enough challengers to
Speaker 1: work with? And the ones that come to mind would
Speaker 1: be the Kabooki Warriors to raw, Oscar and Kyrie. You know,
Speaker 1: would they be next in line? Who? Well, I mean,
Speaker 1: give me a better option here, Give me a better
Speaker 1: especially on SmackDown. Give me a better option. I don't
Speaker 1: think there is one right now. In the back, BFAB
Speaker 1: was trying to talk to Montese Ford and Angelo Dawkins,
Speaker 1: saying that if they want Tag Team Gold, you need
Speaker 1: to get past your issues because the street profits that
Speaker 1: they've been a little rocky of late. Meechin comes over
Speaker 1: and says she and Befab need to go talk to
Speaker 1: Nick Aldis about their tag team match next week with
Speaker 1: Julia and Keana James. Now I don't remember if she
Speaker 1: said we have to go talk to him about the
Speaker 1: match with them or about getting a match with them.
Speaker 1: Getting a match with them, that would make more sense,
Speaker 1: because my first thought was, if you have a match
Speaker 1: already with them, what the hell do you need to
Speaker 1: go off to talk to Nick All this for. What
Speaker 1: were we going to plan. We're going to go over
Speaker 1: the rules of the match. So I assume they were
Speaker 1: going to talk to him about getting a match against
Speaker 1: Julia and Keana for next week. So b Fab believes
Speaker 1: the Street Profits alone to talk amongst themselves, Dawkins and Ford.
Speaker 1: They bury the hatchet, you know, they shake on it.
Speaker 1: Everything seems to be cool. Montes says, I'm going to
Speaker 1: go talk to Nick all this about getting us another
Speaker 1: shot at the tag team titles. Rinse repeat. How many
Speaker 1: times are we going to do this? How many times
Speaker 1: are we going to go back to the Street Profits
Speaker 1: and the Wyatts? The Wyatts and the Street Profits. I mean,
Speaker 1: I know, you know, the Andrade departure, you know, kind
Speaker 1: of handicapped them in a way because it was very
Speaker 1: likely Androatee and Ray Phoenix would at least be next
Speaker 1: in line. I don't know if they would have won
Speaker 1: the titles, but they were going to be next in
Speaker 1: line at Clash in Paris for a tag team championship match.
Speaker 1: Androde being released ruined those plans. That's why they went
Speaker 1: back to the Street Profits, and so they're just continuing
Speaker 1: with the Street Profits and what was a once very
Speaker 1: hot tag team division on Friday Nights has stalled out.
Speaker 1: All the teams are still there, Diy, the Motor City
Speaker 1: machine Guns, the Wyatts, the Street Profits, Los Garza right
Speaker 1: pretty deadly, not so much because Kit Wilson or was
Speaker 1: it Elton p Elton Prince maybe has been hurt. All
Speaker 1: the teams are still there, but they have stalled out.
Speaker 1: Now it's just very cold. But he's going to go
Speaker 1: off to see if he could talk to all this
Speaker 1: about getting a title match. As soon as he leaves,
Speaker 1: Bo Dallas shows up behind Angelo Dawkins and he says
Speaker 1: Montes won't listen to him, but I will, so Montes
Speaker 1: immediately comes back over very angry. He shoves Bo Dallas
Speaker 1: up against the wall. Dallas says that they are lost
Speaker 1: souls who need the right path. Eric Rowan shows up
Speaker 1: and wax them with his hammer and both Street Profits
Speaker 1: end up on the floor. I mean, is anybody excited
Speaker 1: about this? Be honest, now, be honest, there's nothing interesting.
Speaker 1: There's nothing exciting about this. They have stalled out in
Speaker 1: this tag team division and they need to shake things
Speaker 1: back up again. I don't know in the near term.
Speaker 1: I don't know how you do that. Obviously, they're going
Speaker 1: to play the story out with the Profits. It looked
Speaker 1: like maybe they were teasing a breakup and now they're
Speaker 1: back on the same page. Is Bo Dallas gonna get
Speaker 1: a Angelo Dawkins head yet? And maybe there will be
Speaker 1: a split with the Profits? I mean that, I guess
Speaker 1: is the most interesting aspect of this. Will they or
Speaker 1: won't they? I have no expectation that they're going to
Speaker 1: win the tag team titles back, and again I don't
Speaker 1: know who would be next in line, you know, for
Speaker 1: a shot at those titles. They haven't really built anybody
Speaker 1: else up as the obvious next challengers. If you're looking
Speaker 1: for a Babyface team, I mean, I suppose if you're
Speaker 1: gonna go with the Heels, I hate to even say this,
Speaker 1: I hate to even say this, but you could always
Speaker 1: go with the mft ease. I mean again, I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't even want to put that out in the atmosphere.
Speaker 1: But I'm just struggling here to see, like as far
Speaker 1: as a fresh pair of challengers, you know, who would
Speaker 1: be next to the line for the Wyatts, especially on
Speaker 1: the babyface side, that would be of any real interest.
Speaker 1: And I'm drawing a blank here in the back Our Truth,
Speaker 1: which trying to tell people how to watch Wressell Palooza
Speaker 1: on the ESPN app. It's confusing enough that they had
Speaker 1: they had to have Our Truth in two different segments
Speaker 1: on this show. Break it down, I mean, in like
Speaker 1: minute detail, where to go, what to click, what to push.
Speaker 1: If this is your carrier, if you have Verizon, if
Speaker 1: you have Direct TV, if you have you know, like
Speaker 1: he was breaking it down, trying to explain to people, Okay,
Speaker 1: here's how you can watch the show tomorrow. And so
Speaker 1: what he was doing here was explaining it to Los
Speaker 1: Garza because apparently they're idiots and they have no idea
Speaker 1: how to order this show. And even if you don't
Speaker 1: have cable, he said, you can still watch the show now.
Speaker 1: Of course, he never said that if you don't have
Speaker 1: cable and you don't have ESPN, you have to pay
Speaker 1: thirty bucks to see the show. He neglected that. He
Speaker 1: didn't mention that this was fucking lame. This was like,
Speaker 1: you know what, at least Truth got his job back,
Speaker 1: good for him, but this was fucking lame. I mean,
Speaker 1: they didn't do themselves any favors on Monday, and then
Speaker 1: the lead up to this by constantly saying, Oh, we're
Speaker 1: going to ESPN. We're going to ESPN. So now you're
Speaker 1: gonna have a bunch of people who think that it's
Speaker 1: actually airing on ESPN. It's not. It's not airing on ESPN.
Speaker 1: I've had people, you know, in the last week or
Speaker 1: so be like, is it on ESPN Plus. I'm like, no, no,
Speaker 1: it's not actually, And evidently, like if you go to
Speaker 1: ESPN Plus or ESPN dot com, supposedly there's a link
Speaker 1: that will take you directly to where you need to go.
Speaker 1: But you could see why there would be some confusion
Speaker 1: about this. You know, it's actually technically ESPN Unlimited, that's
Speaker 1: the service within the app, that's the service that is
Speaker 1: airing Wrestle Palooza. But for weeks and weeks, Oh we're
Speaker 1: going to ESPN. We're gonna air on ESPN so what
Speaker 1: do you think most people are gonna think? And even still,
Speaker 1: you're gonna have fans who are going tomorrow going to
Speaker 1: put on ESPN thinking they're gonna see John Cena and
Speaker 1: Brock Lesner at the top of the hour and they're
Speaker 1: gonna get some fucking football game and they're gonna be like,
Speaker 1: what the fuck, where's the wrestling show. There's gonna be
Speaker 1: some growing pains. I would actually love to know what
Speaker 1: the audience is going to be. I don't know if
Speaker 1: we're gonna get those numbers. I would love to know
Speaker 1: what the actual audience ends up being for this show
Speaker 1: and how much they're impacted by just general confusion about
Speaker 1: how to get the show. And also keep in mind
Speaker 1: that there's a lot of people who will not have
Speaker 1: access to it unless they pay because they still have
Speaker 1: not reached a deal with Comcast. They have not reached
Speaker 1: a deal with YouTube TV, which is what I use
Speaker 1: so because they had to rush into this, This was
Speaker 1: not supposed to start until April, until WrestleMania, but they
Speaker 1: had to get a jump on it. Meanwhile, they never
Speaker 1: reached those you know, the carriage agreements with some of
Speaker 1: the biggest services out there through which people get their television,
Speaker 1: and so until that's rectified, there's going to be people
Speaker 1: who are kind of left in the dark who may
Speaker 1: not want to pay the thirty bucks. And I don't
Speaker 1: see a deal happening with YouTube TV for I'm sure
Speaker 1: at some point it'll happen, but it doesn't feel like
Speaker 1: anything is imminent, at least not until the end of
Speaker 1: the year. Anyway, you could avoid all of that, I'm
Speaker 1: telling you, you could avoid all of that by using
Speaker 1: your Express VPN and tuning it into Netflix. Right, you
Speaker 1: just pick a Canadian server or UK or any of
Speaker 1: these places where the PL's still air internationally on Netflix.
Speaker 1: It'll be the easiest way to go. Save yourself a
Speaker 1: lot of trouble or money well worth it. Fraxium, they
Speaker 1: were in the ring for the next match, but they
Speaker 1: were attacked by bron Breaker and Bronson Reid, so they
Speaker 1: clear the ring and then Paul Hayman shows up to talk.
Speaker 1: I don't know, was it me or did Hayman look
Speaker 1: like he lost a little bit of weight. I don't know.
Speaker 1: He was looking better than he was the last time
Speaker 1: we saw him, but yes, Paul Hayman his back as
Speaker 1: we saw earlier in the show. This was his first
Speaker 1: appearance back on TV since Roman Range choked him out
Speaker 1: at what was it Summer Slim? It was Summer Slim? Right,
Speaker 1: Wait was Roman a Clash and Power? I don't even
Speaker 1: remember now it was Summer Slim, I think, I don't
Speaker 1: even remember. Remember he had the throat contusion, that was
Speaker 1: his injury. Well he's back now. Maybe it was the
Speaker 1: stripes that he was wearing. He had a stripe suit on.
Speaker 1: Maybe it made him look a little more, a little slimmer.
Speaker 1: So anyway, he was out to talk. He says, Phraxium
Speaker 1: reminds him of the USOS down and out. Then he
Speaker 1: speaks some Samoan to the USOS and he translates for himself.
Speaker 1: As he's talking. Fraser and Axiom they come flying. They're
Speaker 1: in opposite corners, and Breaker and Reid have no idea
Speaker 1: and they come flying off the ropes and they knock
Speaker 1: down Breaker and Reid knock them out of the ring.
Speaker 1: They follow with their trademark rapid fire suicide dives to
Speaker 1: the outside. That first suicide dive from Axiom, where he
Speaker 1: almost went crashing into the announced desk, was very scary.
Speaker 1: Nick All this shows up and he makes the predictable
Speaker 1: tag team match and we head to a commercial break.
Speaker 1: You know, we never did find out who Axiom and
Speaker 1: Nathan Fraser were supposed to be wrestling. They came out
Speaker 1: for a fucking match against who. I don't know. We
Speaker 1: were never told. Maybe it was an open challenge and
Speaker 1: they were going to wait for somebody to come out.
Speaker 1: I guess we'll never know who they were supposed to wrestle.
Speaker 1: But after the break it was bron Breaker and Bronson
Speaker 1: Reid against Phraxium. This match was joined already in progress.
Speaker 1: Breaker was working over Axium in the corner. Axiom fended
Speaker 1: up momentarily fended him off, but he got thrown overhead
Speaker 1: instead with a backdrop. Breaker got a full head of speed.
Speaker 1: He turned Axiom inside out with a lariat. Reid entered
Speaker 1: the fray. He continued to pummel Axiom with a sent on.
Speaker 1: Breaker got the tag once more, and he suplexed Axiom
Speaker 1: before pulling down the straps. He attempted a spear, he
Speaker 1: got met with a calf kick instead. This allowed Fraser
Speaker 1: to get the tag. Fraser had red staggered with a
Speaker 1: drop kick, and he soared from the top with a
Speaker 1: frog splash. Reid kicked out at two. He avoided a
Speaker 1: moon salt before dropping Fraser with his death valley driver.
Speaker 1: He's been finishing eyes off with this move. He calls
Speaker 1: it the jagged edge, only here he didn't go for
Speaker 1: the pin. He hits the jagged edge and he heads
Speaker 1: up top. He's gonna go for a tsunami and he
Speaker 1: gets stopped temporarily by Axiom, and then comes the finish.
Speaker 1: Reid shoves Axiom off the robes and as he comes
Speaker 1: off the row, he shoves him off right into a
Speaker 1: spear from bron Breaker. It was a fucking thing of beauty.
Speaker 1: So he spears this man dead. That was an awesome
Speaker 1: little sequence there after, Reid then came off the top
Speaker 1: with a tsunami splash to Nathan Fraser and he got
Speaker 1: the pin to win it for the vision. So that
Speaker 1: was a great finish. And honestly, Phrasium were great opponents
Speaker 1: for these two. They basically got crushed. But as far
Speaker 1: as you know, two smaller guys to go in there,
Speaker 1: sell for their offense and just make these two look
Speaker 1: like monsters, you know, Phraxia and bump their asses off
Speaker 1: Phraxium perfect. So after the ring announcer Mark Nash announces
Speaker 1: Breaker and Read as the winners. Paul Hayman cuts him
Speaker 1: off and he says, I don't need John Cena's bitch
Speaker 1: to announce them as the winners. I'll do that myself.
Speaker 1: But then he was interrupted by the USSOS who were
Speaker 1: up on the Titan trom. Jimmy and Jay were already
Speaker 1: at the Gamebridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, the site of Russell Palooza,
Speaker 1: and they said they were going to lock things down.
Speaker 1: They welcomed the vision to the USO Penitentiary, they did
Speaker 1: their cashphrase and that was the end of that. Today's
Speaker 1: episode is sponsored by Betterhelp. This is the perfect time
Speaker 1: for me to be talking about this because we just
Speaker 1: had the return of aj Lee in WWE, and she
Speaker 1: was in the ring on Raw last week talking about
Speaker 1: how helpful therapy has been for her. They even had
Speaker 1: ten thousand people in the stands chanting their uh pee
Speaker 1: their uh pee. That's a first. I've never heard anything
Speaker 1: like that before. But therapy does deserve to be cheered
Speaker 1: because and help you in so many different ways, and
Speaker 1: people may turn to some funny places for support, whether
Speaker 1: it's your barber, the cashier behind the counter and a
Speaker 1: random stranger in the bathroom. But not everyone is a therapist. Instead,
Speaker 1: get guidance from a credential therapist online with better Help,
Speaker 1: I'll do the same thing. I'll turn to friends sometimes
Speaker 1: for advice on how to solve those problems that life
Speaker 1: froze at you. But there's a difference between that and
Speaker 1: talking to a therapist. Therapists are clinically trained and credentialed,
Speaker 1: and they're far more equipped to help you tackle whatever
Speaker 1: may be troubling you and affecting your quality of life.
Speaker 1: Better Help has been helping people find the right match

Speaker 1: com slash solom Monster. Nya Jacks made her way down
Speaker 1: to the ring out for a promo that sound that
Speaker 1: you hear tens of thousands of televisions. Turning to a
Speaker 1: different channel, Nya took a shot at the Toledo crowd
Speaker 1: they were in Toledo, Ohio tonight. She said that she
Speaker 1: was sick of the SmackDown Women's division, claiming that they
Speaker 1: were the alpha females when she was the true alpha
Speaker 1: female of the division. Nya took credit for taking Tiffany
Speaker 1: Stratton out, which prevented her from showing up at the
Speaker 1: NXT homecoming show this past Tuesday. Nya then took a
Speaker 1: shot at Jade Cargill and said, you know, if I
Speaker 1: could have.
Speaker 2: Her looks, I would love to look like Jade Cargill
Speaker 2: because she looks like a comic book character come to life, right,
Speaker 2: Jade car Gill looks like a million bucks.
Speaker 1: But she says, Jade wishes she had Naya's in ring talent.
Speaker 1: That's great. That was great. So Nya said that she
Speaker 1: would annihilate any storm or any Tiffy time, any damn time.
Speaker 1: This brought out the WWE Women's champion, Tiffany Stratton for
Speaker 1: a rebuttal. Stratton said that people have had enough of
Speaker 1: Nya Jacks being in the women's division. It's not that
Speaker 1: I've had enough of Nya Jax being in the women's division.
Speaker 1: I've had enough of Naya Jacks being, you know, involved
Speaker 1: in some sort of rivalry with Tiffany Stratton and challenging
Speaker 1: for the women's championship. That's what I'm sick of. And
Speaker 1: since Nya and Jade were committed to acting so delusional,
Speaker 1: Tiffany said that she was here to prove that she
Speaker 1: was the one true WWE champion. Stratton attempted to walk
Speaker 1: down to the ring she was going to confront Naya.
Speaker 1: She got stopped by referees who ran out in front
Speaker 1: of her. Jade Cargill's music hits and she makes her
Speaker 1: way out and she decked some of the security geeks
Speaker 1: on her way to the ring. She blew right past Tiffany.
Speaker 1: She was on her way to the ring, getting up
Speaker 1: on the apron. She's going to confront Naya. Before she
Speaker 1: could get into the ring, Nick Aldens comes out and
Speaker 1: he put a stop to things by threatening consequences if
Speaker 1: she continued to put her hands on people, and he
Speaker 1: announced that next week in Orlando on SmackDown, we're going
Speaker 1: to get a triple threat match for the WWE Women's Championship.
Speaker 1: It'll be Tiffany Stratton defending her title against Jade and
Speaker 1: Naya Jacks. So not Wressell Palooza. They're saving this match
Speaker 1: for TV next week. That match, let's talk about this.
Speaker 1: That match was originally scheduled for Wressell Polozo. Now what
Speaker 1: happened is, if you watched the show last week, Tiffany
Speaker 1: and Jade, Tiffany did that moon salt out of the
Speaker 1: ring and it looked like she smacked the back of
Speaker 1: her head badly on the floor outside. And when had happened,
Speaker 1: I thought to myself, that's a concussion right there. Now,
Speaker 1: It was never confirmed, but Tiffany was pulled from the
Speaker 1: NXT show this week. She was supposed to team up
Speaker 1: with Rhea Ripley and Stephanie Vecaire in the main event.
Speaker 1: She got pulled Lyra Valkyria took her place, and it
Speaker 1: was said some of the reports that she was not
Speaker 1: medically cleared. I don't know if she was concussed and
Speaker 1: that's why she was out, or if there was the
Speaker 1: fear that she might have been concussed, but I'm almost
Speaker 1: sure it would have been as a result of what
Speaker 1: we saw with that Moonsalt where she over rotated last week.
Speaker 1: So that's why she was not on NXT this week.
Speaker 1: But then I saw PWN earlier today reported that she's
Speaker 1: not injured. She is medically cleared. They just made a
Speaker 1: decision that they did not want to sort of overstack
Speaker 1: the show tomorrow, so they opted to hold off on
Speaker 1: the match for TV next week. Because this match was
Speaker 1: listed on the event T shirt for Russell Palooza, so
Speaker 1: it was originally scheduled for the PL but the idea
Speaker 1: that WWE didn't want to overstack the show tomorrow, since
Speaker 1: when is six matches overstacking a show? Ten matches. Twelve matches.
Speaker 1: We've seen some pay per views this year like that,
Speaker 1: that's overstacking the show. Going from five matches to six
Speaker 1: matches is not overstacking the show. Let's just be honest here.
Speaker 1: What they like to do on these shows is have
Speaker 1: these twenty five to thirty minute breaks in between matches, right,
Speaker 1: We get these long breaks and a bunch of ads,
Speaker 1: and so they like keeping it to five matches so
Speaker 1: they can fit all their shit in in between each
Speaker 1: of the matches. One match more would not have made
Speaker 1: that much of a difference, but it would have added
Speaker 1: another match to the show, and six matches on a
Speaker 1: show is not that much. That's actually, I think the
Speaker 1: perfect number for these shows. They don't have to overload them.
Speaker 1: But the idea that, oh, we had one more match,
Speaker 1: it's gonna be overstacked, what sense does that make since
Speaker 1: one is six matches overstacking, especially now you're asking people,
Speaker 1: and look, some people will get it for free, but
Speaker 1: there's a lot of people out there who will not
Speaker 1: have access to the show unless they pay thirty bucks.
Speaker 1: Thirty bucks for a five match show, you can't give
Speaker 1: people the extra title match on that show. It's ridiculous.
Speaker 1: So they absolutely could have done this match tomorrow, but
Speaker 1: they made the decision not too so they're gonna save
Speaker 1: it for next week because my god, five matches is
Speaker 1: just too much. We can't go beyond that. That's far
Speaker 1: too many matches. No, we need thirty minutes between each match.
Speaker 1: In the back, we got more shilling from our Truth
Speaker 1: for the ESPN app. This time he was showing the
Speaker 1: MotorCity machine Guns and Ray Phoenix how to download and
Speaker 1: use the app. Yes, all the geeks who did not
Speaker 1: make the card tomorrow, all you losers who are going
Speaker 1: to be sitting at home watching the show, let me
Speaker 1: show you how since you're too stupid to realize on
Speaker 1: your own how to do it. So there's Alex Shelley
Speaker 1: and Chris Sabin and ray Phoenix is like he's fake
Speaker 1: scrolling on his phone. He's in the app store, and
Speaker 1: Killings is trying to explain to them, you go here,
Speaker 1: you go to the stream, dot this, and you hit
Speaker 1: this button and you do this, and you log in
Speaker 1: with your credentials and really trying to hammer home you
Speaker 1: know how to get this show. Then we got some
Speaker 1: comedy at the very end of this from Chris Saban,
Speaker 1: who told Truth to watch the next season of The
Speaker 1: Great British Baking Championship, the Great Biddish Baking Championship. He again,
Speaker 1: I should point out our truth neglected to mention that
Speaker 1: this is for some people anyway, a thirty dollars price
Speaker 1: dag on this show. He didn't mention that bar Sammy's
Speaker 1: ain was out. Next another US Title Open Challenge match.
Speaker 1: This time it was against Carmelo Hayes, who called his
Speaker 1: shot last week. He said, I got next, so we
Speaker 1: knew about this already. Going back to last week, speaking
Speaker 1: of twenty five minutes between matches, it had been twenty
Speaker 1: five minutes since the previous match. Miz was on commentary,
Speaker 1: as I said, for the entire show here, and he
Speaker 1: was very excited for his boy Mellow getting a title shot.
Speaker 1: On the apron early Sammy looked like he was going
Speaker 1: for something big. Hayes stunned him with a guillotine leg
Speaker 1: drop as they went into a commercial. So the show
Speaker 1: came back. Hayes had the upper hand. Sammy fought back
Speaker 1: with a clothesline. He followed that up with an axe
Speaker 1: handle from the middle rope. Sammy dragged Hayes to the corner.
Speaker 1: He started teeing off on him with repeated punches to
Speaker 1: the face, much to the chagrin of miz on commentary,
Speaker 1: who was pretty insufferable. I will say during parts of
Speaker 1: this match, you know he was rooting for Carmelo. He
Speaker 1: was getting into the near falls, but it was just
Speaker 1: awful to listen to. Zayin landed a tornado DDT could
Speaker 1: not pick up the wind with it. Zayn headed up top.
Speaker 1: Hayes recovered and avoided what he was going for. Mello,
Speaker 1: though could not avoid a Mitchinoku driver, which got another
Speaker 1: near fall. Hayes caught Sammy on the button with a
Speaker 1: big knee to the face, and then he headed up
Speaker 1: top for a huge frog splash, but Sammy got his
Speaker 1: knees up at the very last second, which sent Hayes
Speaker 1: scurrying to the corner and right into the crosshairs of
Speaker 1: a Halluva kick. Hayes, though, intercepted Sammy with a super
Speaker 1: kick and both men were down heading into another commercial break.
Speaker 1: So both men were down for a while. They pull
Speaker 1: themselves back up. Hayes hits a La mistica facebuster for two.
Speaker 1: They start trading strikes and then Sammy hits a lagger
Speaker 1: bomb for two of his own. Both men hit the ropes.
Speaker 1: We got a double clothesline spot both men were down.
Speaker 1: Hayes goes up top for a frog splash, this time
Speaker 1: he hits it only for a near fall. Hayes tries
Speaker 1: a leaping codebreaker, but Sammy holds onto him and blocks
Speaker 1: it blocks him from completing the move. Sammy then tries
Speaker 1: a blue thunderbomb. Hayes counters into the first forty eight
Speaker 1: for a near fall. Hayes lifts Sammy up for a cutter,
Speaker 1: followed by a springboard neck breaker. Sammy managed to avoid
Speaker 1: nothing but net and he turned that into a blue
Speaker 1: thunderbomb but the wind. He won with the Blue Thunderbomb
Speaker 1: and retains the US Championship. A rare Hasian where Sammy's
Speaker 1: ain't actually wins a match with the blue Thunderbomb, which
Speaker 1: is one of my favorite moves, and I would like
Speaker 1: to see that happen more often. He doesn't have to
Speaker 1: win every match with it. It's kind of like Bronson Reid.
Speaker 1: You know, he's been using the Jagged Edge on occasion
Speaker 1: now as like one of his new finishing moves and
Speaker 1: that's fine. Like you don't have to use the tsunami
Speaker 1: in every match, It's nice to have a little bit
Speaker 1: of variety in your signature. Moves. Same thing here, like
Speaker 1: Sammy wins most of his matches with the Halluva kick,
Speaker 1: but every now and then throw that blue thunderbomb out
Speaker 1: there and let him win with it. I love it.
Speaker 1: I'd love to see more of it. But this was
Speaker 1: another very good match here from the Samy's Ain Open Challenge.
Speaker 1: That's three in a row. He had a great match
Speaker 1: with John Cena. Shit he finish, but he had a
Speaker 1: great match with John Cena. He had an excellent match
Speaker 1: last week with Ray Phoenix, which has been the best
Speaker 1: of the bunch so far, and then another very strong
Speaker 1: match here on this show with Carmelo Hayes, who looked good.
Speaker 1: Was a good outing for Hayes, even though he lost.
Speaker 1: The open challenges have truly become the highlight of this show.
Speaker 1: If there is anything must see, and there's very little
Speaker 1: these days that is must see about the weekly WWE shows,
Speaker 1: like next to nothing. If we're being honest as far
Speaker 1: as SmackDown goes, this is the closest thing to must
Speaker 1: see on this show. Every week and it's been three
Speaker 1: weeks so far, but these matches are consistently the highlight
Speaker 1: of these shows. This has been tremendous so far. Now,
Speaker 1: Carmelo Hayes lost, right, he called his shot and he lost,
Speaker 1: but he still has his story with the Miz that
Speaker 1: they have been playing up for weeks now, which is
Speaker 1: one of the more consistent stories on this show. One
Speaker 1: would assume it's leading to a split with him and
Speaker 1: Miz in the not so distant future. My guess is
Speaker 1: that Hayes ends up a babyface out of it, and
Speaker 1: the hope then is that okay when that split happens,
Speaker 1: and really whether he's a heel or a babyface coming
Speaker 1: out of it once that split happens, do they have
Speaker 1: something lined up for Carmelo Hayes or is this all
Speaker 1: for nothing? You know, he had that best of seven
Speaker 1: series for the US title last year with Andrade and
Speaker 1: same thing there. That was the highlight of SmackDown right
Speaker 1: consistently the best thing on the show every week, and
Speaker 1: neither one of them won the US Championship out of
Speaker 1: it in the end, but there was nothing lined up
Speaker 1: for them when it was over. It was like, okay,
Speaker 1: the series is over and now it's like to the
Speaker 1: back burner with both of you. The key is having
Speaker 1: something set up for him coming out of this, you know,
Speaker 1: and the story with them is I can only hope
Speaker 1: that that's the case. Do Triple H and Roode Doug
Speaker 1: have something in mind here, something bigger, something greater in
Speaker 1: mind for Carmelo Hayes. I have my doubts. I'm skeptical,
Speaker 1: but I sure hope they do. It's got to be
Speaker 1: leading somewhere for him. He's been getting consistent television ty.
Speaker 1: He was even on NXT this week teaming with Trick Williams.
Speaker 1: You know, he's on the show pretty much every week.
Speaker 1: He had this great match tonight. So this is all good,
Speaker 1: this is it's all positive momentum here. But you know,
Speaker 1: excuse me if I'm skeptical of where this momentum ultimately
Speaker 1: is going to lead. You know, That's what I'm looking
Speaker 1: to the future and wondering where does he fit in
Speaker 1: the pecking order here on this show. I'm looking at
Speaker 1: someone like Jacob Fatu, who has become MIA. He's wrestling
Speaker 1: dark matches and doing nothing on TV, and I'm left
Speaker 1: wondering why the show is suffering on most weeks. You know,
Speaker 1: we need to see more of these people, not less.
Speaker 1: Kit Wilson, who has not been seen on TV in months,
Speaker 1: was backstage randomly talking to Nick Aldis about hyper masculinity,
Speaker 1: and at that moment, Damian Priest walks in. He's very
Speaker 1: hyper mad. He's very angry about what Alistair Black did
Speaker 1: to him last week. Wilson got upset at priests demands
Speaker 1: because he's demanding a match with Alistair Black, and Wilson
Speaker 1: gets upset about this. He's telling all this, this is
Speaker 1: the classic case of toxic masculinity, and so he ends
Speaker 1: up being thrown through a wall into the adjacent room.
Speaker 1: What shitty construction they have backstage at these WWE shows.
Speaker 1: If I'm Kit Wilson, I'm filing a lawsuit unsafe work environment.
Speaker 1: How thin are these walls that you just throw the
Speaker 1: guy right through it? And Nick all this, I love
Speaker 1: it too. He pulls out his cell phone and doesn't
Speaker 1: waste a second. Like, he pulls out his cell phone
Speaker 1: and apparently it was already on and he's like, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna need medical, tucks his phone away. Who's he talking to?
Speaker 1: I've always wondered who is he talking to. One thing
Speaker 1: we know when it comes to all this and Adam
Speaker 1: Pearson most weeks is that they don't really plan ahead
Speaker 1: for these shows. Many weeks we show up here, we
Speaker 1: watch these shows. Matches are not made. They're made on
Speaker 1: the spot. Apparently there's no card. I don't know what
Speaker 1: these people do during the course of the week. I
Speaker 1: mean that could be a whole reality series, like a
Speaker 1: vlog all by itself, like following the GM throughout the week.
Speaker 1: I would love to know what they do. How do
Speaker 1: they plan for these shows? They don't do a very
Speaker 1: good job. Now they aired this. They did a good
Speaker 1: job on this. They aired the second half of the
Speaker 1: retrospective for John Cena and Brock Lesni We got part
Speaker 1: one last week, which covered their early days in Ohio
Speaker 1: Valley Wrestling, their respective debuts on SmackDown in two thousand
Speaker 1: and two, their Backlash title match in two thousand and three,
Speaker 1: so this was part two. They covered Lesner's return to
Speaker 1: the company in twenty twelve, their Extreme Rules match, which
Speaker 1: I maintained to this day Lesners should not have lost.
Speaker 1: I mean that finished when I covered it at the
Speaker 1: time on the sound though that finished pissed me off
Speaker 1: right up through their Summer Slid match in twenty fourteen,
Speaker 1: which was just a complete destruction, you know, just a
Speaker 1: total squash. So they covered all of that, and now
Speaker 1: we come to what should be their final match. It
Speaker 1: wrestled Palloza tomorrow, can it live up to the Extreme
Speaker 1: Rules match from twenty twelve? That match was a spectacle
Speaker 1: in every sense of the word. I may not have
Speaker 1: liked the finish, but it was one of the best
Speaker 1: WWE matches of the entire year. It was just so unique,
Speaker 1: especially at that time, you just did not see matches
Speaker 1: like that in WWE. It just of course the blood him,
Speaker 1: you know, busting scene, open hard way. You just didn't
Speaker 1: see that shit back then. Then you look at their
Speaker 1: Summer Slam match in twenty fourteen, which was unique in
Speaker 1: a completely different way. You did not see a top star,
Speaker 1: the biggest star in the company squashed in a pay
Speaker 1: per view main event that way. Each each of those
Speaker 1: times they found something to they found a way to
Speaker 1: do the match that made it feel unique, and I'm
Speaker 1: just wondering how they can do that tomorrow to differentiate
Speaker 1: it from all the previous matches that these two have had.
Speaker 1: What can they do maybe that they haven't done before.
Speaker 1: You know what would be shocking if Brock went in
Speaker 1: there and actually wrestled the way that he used to
Speaker 1: wrestle it during his first run, where he knew more
Speaker 1: than j justesue plexes. But I feel like that version
Speaker 1: of Brock Lesnar died a long time ago. Also, don't
Speaker 1: forget they were part of one of the best matches
Speaker 1: in twenty fifteen WWE, that Triple Threat match at the
Speaker 1: Royal Rumble with seth Rawlins, which was a tremendous match.
Speaker 1: So they've had some really good matches before. This is
Speaker 1: now twenty twenty five. You know they're older. Obviously Brock
Speaker 1: is still in great shape, but you know they're older.
Speaker 1: Seen it is at the very end of his run,
Speaker 1: I mean literally the final matches of his career here,
Speaker 1: but you saw the output from him last month with
Speaker 1: Cody at Summerslim, with Logan Poullock clash in Paris. With
Speaker 1: the right opponent, John Cena can go out there and
Speaker 1: can have a banger match, and I think he can
Speaker 1: do the same with Brock. I just I'm very curious
Speaker 1: to see how they structure this match, how long does
Speaker 1: the match go Is it really in and out for Brock?
Speaker 1: Four minutes? Are they going to have a ten to
Speaker 1: twelve match, fifteen minute match? I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 1: John Cena, with the right opponent can still go out
Speaker 1: there and have a great match at this stage of
Speaker 1: the game. Is Brock the right opponent for him? I
Speaker 1: don't know. Won't have to wait very long since they're
Speaker 1: opening the show tomorrow. We got a Solo Sekoa vignette
Speaker 1: as he showed appreciation for Tongaaloa, who was the only
Speaker 1: member of the MFTs who was standing behind him here
Speaker 1: in this segment. Showing appreciation for the Great Tonga, Loa
Speaker 1: said that he's been showing loyalty to Solo since day one.
Speaker 1: He said that he owed it to Tongaloa to be
Speaker 1: a champion and that his loyalty would be rewarded as
Speaker 1: long as Tonga was part of his family tree. See
Speaker 1: the Great Tangaloa loyal to a fault. I would imagine
Speaker 1: that Tama Tonga should be back soon. I don't recall
Speaker 1: the nature of the injury that he sustained. It was
Speaker 1: many many months ago. He could very well be on
Speaker 1: his way back soon. I haven't heard anything said about him.
Speaker 1: They closed the show with the contract signing with Drew
Speaker 1: McIntyre and Cody Rhodes for the WWE Championship match of
Speaker 1: Russell Palooza. Nick Alldis was in the ring to first
Speaker 1: introduced McIntyre. Before he could speak, Cody's music hit and
Speaker 1: the champion came down to the ring. So Drew was sitting,
Speaker 1: Cody was standing, and Cody asked him, Drew, do you
Speaker 1: know what happened on this day? Fifteen years ago? We
Speaker 1: won the tag team Championships? And do you know who
Speaker 1: was backstage talking about that? Nobody? He says. The fans
Speaker 1: don't even know all the lore. Sometimes they just pay
Speaker 1: their money to see two guys fight. I guess that's
Speaker 1: how they're justifying the Cina Lesnar match tomorrow. Says he
Speaker 1: knows who's In the past, Drew has won a Royal Rumble,
Speaker 1: He's been a WWE Champion, he slayed the Beast, He's
Speaker 1: two hundred and eighty pounds, He's the Scottish Warrior. But
Speaker 1: lately the Scottish Warrior has just been a keyboard warrior.
Speaker 1: So go ahead, pull your phone out, let's go viral.
Speaker 1: Make a post on social media, get one over on me,
Speaker 1: because it's the last time you're going to get one
Speaker 1: over on me. And Drew did. He pulled his phone out,
Speaker 1: he tweeted something. He held his phone up and they
Speaker 1: zoomed in on what he tweeted, and he tweeted, thank you, Cody,
Speaker 1: and Cody was a bit confused by this. Andrew said, no,
Speaker 1: thank you, Cody. All he wanted was a shot at
Speaker 1: the WWE Championship with that anybody getting involved, and without
Speaker 1: anybody screwing him over. This guy still has PTSD from
Speaker 1: all the times he got fucked over by the bloodline.
Speaker 1: But this is all he wanted. He wanted a title
Speaker 1: shot and a fair fight. Cody doesn't even think about
Speaker 1: himself anymore. He thinks about what's best for the company.
Speaker 1: He's the corporate champion. He kicked Cody's head. And by
Speaker 1: the way, this point here that he made is a
Speaker 1: very valid one. He says, I kicked your head through
Speaker 1: the announced desk. I put you on the shelf for
Speaker 1: five weeks. You were gone. And Cody comes back and
Speaker 1: instead of stomping him, he's out here to talk him
Speaker 1: to death. That's I have had this problem before with
Speaker 1: people when they do like an injury angle. Uh, and
Speaker 1: then the person comes back and if they're not all
Speaker 1: fired up ready to murder someone, it's like, what are
Speaker 1: we doing here? You're right, Cody is the champion, he's
Speaker 1: the guy, and he got injured and he was put
Speaker 1: out for over a month. When he came back, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean that first time he did like a run in.
Speaker 1: But he's coming out here, he's all smiles. Where's that
Speaker 1: sense of you know what? You took five weeks away
Speaker 1: from me after I had just won my championship back
Speaker 1: you put me on the shelf. I'm gonna fuck you up.
Speaker 1: That's not the version of Cody Roads that we got tonight.
Speaker 1: We had Cody coming out here and cutting a proper promo.
Speaker 1: So that's a fair point that Drew was making here.
Speaker 1: Say he says, they being the fans, are going to
Speaker 1: turn on you because you're the flavor of the month,
Speaker 1: and then Cody is gonna say Drew was right. Cody said.
Speaker 1: If Drew is wrong, his legacy then becomes the man
Speaker 1: who lost to Cody on their debut ESPN ple E
Speaker 1: for the WWE Undisputed Shit. Let's talk about a mouthful here.
Speaker 1: He definitely went into corporate Cody mode here. Oh if
Speaker 1: you if you lose to me, you're gonna be the
Speaker 1: guy who lost to me. On the ESPN ple E
Speaker 1: debut for the Undisputed WWE Championship presented by Netflix, the
Speaker 1: fuck up, dude, I want Drew to win the title tomorrow.
Speaker 1: Fuck it. Put the title on Drew. Pick this shit
Speaker 1: up and just put the title on Drew. I officially,
Speaker 1: I think I've turned on Cody here in this promo.
Speaker 1: I think Drew was right. He's way too corporate for
Speaker 1: my liking. But with that, Cody signed the contract and
Speaker 1: then Drew signed the contract and then he delivered a
Speaker 1: Glasgow kiss to Cody, and Cody rolled out to the floor.
Speaker 1: McIntyre followed him started kicking his ass. He was setting
Speaker 1: up for another Claymore through the announced desk. Cody was
Speaker 1: in the exact right position for him to do what
Speaker 1: he did to him all those weeks ago, and Drew hesitated.
Speaker 1: He was like, no, no, he had second thoughts about it.
Speaker 1: He said, I'm not going to kick your head through
Speaker 1: the table again. This match is happening tomorrow, and I'm
Speaker 1: taking that thing. That means the most to you, the
Speaker 1: WWE Championship, and with that, Drew walked off. He said,
Speaker 1: I'm not going to screw it up for myself. As
Speaker 1: he's walking away, though, Cody comes flying out of the
Speaker 1: ring with a suicide dive and the two of them
Speaker 1: brawled and the head of separated by officials. Drew, though,
Speaker 1: managed to break free. He delivered a running boot right
Speaker 1: to the face and it was Cody on the ground
Speaker 1: with Drew telling him to sleep with the title because
Speaker 1: it's the last time you're going to have it for
Speaker 1: a long time. And that's how the show went off
Speaker 1: the air. Pretty paint by number stuff here. As far
Speaker 1: as a contract signing segment is concerned, we just had
Speaker 1: a contract signing actually on Dynamite on Wednesday with Kyle
Speaker 1: Fletcher and Hangman Page. And again two very similar segments here.
Speaker 1: This one we had physicality that we didn't get in
Speaker 1: that one, but you know, we had these two segments
Speaker 1: within forty eight hours of each other. I had to
Speaker 1: mention that this is Cody's first title defense since winning
Speaker 1: the championship back at Summerslim. It is hard for me
Speaker 1: to conceive of him losing the championship this early. I
Speaker 1: would be in favor of it, though, I think that
Speaker 1: if this match is closing the show, they better have
Speaker 1: something big planned right their first big espn Ple. They're
Speaker 1: not closing with Lesner and Sina, Fine, something has to
Speaker 1: happen here to really shake things up. This product could
Speaker 1: use a shakeup of some kind, and so I think
Speaker 1: what could they do here that truly would be a shakeup? Right,
Speaker 1: or something that would catch people off guard. I think
Speaker 1: there are a lot of people who don't expect Cody
Speaker 1: to lose the championship. To him, losing the championship would
Speaker 1: be one thing. But if he loses the championship, how
Speaker 1: does he lose the championship? Right? He's not gonna lose clean?
Speaker 1: Is that where Randy Orton comes into play? Or if
Speaker 1: Cody doesn't lose the championship, Randy Orton can still get involved.
Speaker 1: Randy Orton has beef with Drew, he may well have
Speaker 1: beef with Cody as well. Drew was the one a
Speaker 1: few weeks ago who I think was telling Randy about
Speaker 1: Cody not giving a shit about him. Maybe he talked
Speaker 1: it into his head. I don't If Duo doesn't win
Speaker 1: the title, I don't see it as one and done right.
Speaker 1: You got Crown Jewel coming up next month. But then
Speaker 1: I see that they're probably doing the Champion versus Champion matches.
Speaker 1: It was pointed out to me there was in the
Speaker 1: press release for Crown Jewel. The language in there indicates
Speaker 1: that they're going back to doing these champion versus Champion,
Speaker 1: brand versus brand matches, which means we're probably looking at
Speaker 1: Cody Rhodes and Seth rawlins at Crown Jewel. I can't
Speaker 1: imagine Drew wins the belt. We get Drew and Seth.
Speaker 1: So all signs point to Cody keeping the title. But
Speaker 1: the question is, what's the big angle. What's the big
Speaker 1: maybe shocking twist If we get one at the end
Speaker 1: of this show, and it to me, it would be
Speaker 1: a Randy Orton heel turn. You know, people talking about
Speaker 1: The Rock is gonna you know, he's gonna take Drew's soul.
Speaker 1: I don't want to hear about this shit. Fuck that,
Speaker 1: fuck the Rock, I don't I don't care about that.
Speaker 1: We've been been down this road before enough with the Rock.
Speaker 1: The Rock has a movie come out in a few weeks.
Speaker 1: He's going to try to win an oscar. He doesn't
Speaker 1: give a shit about this. Randy Orton being involved in
Speaker 1: some way makes sense. Randy Orton going heel easily could
Speaker 1: see that happening, and that would be a big shocking
Speaker 1: maybe not so shocking, but it would be a big
Speaker 1: twist there that they could do at the end of
Speaker 1: the show. That's what I keep coming back to as
Speaker 1: far as what what realistically could they do if they
Speaker 1: were going to shoot some big angle at the end
Speaker 1: of the show, that would be it. I mean, look,
Speaker 1: you can't rule out something like Rock just because it
Speaker 1: is the big ESPN debut and maybe they want to
Speaker 1: make a big splash. But again, he's got other shit
Speaker 1: going on. People forget about that. You know. I don't
Speaker 1: want to see him or someone else make a one
Speaker 1: time appearance just for the sake of making an appearance
Speaker 1: unless there's a real story to be told there. So
Speaker 1: you know, I don't want to think about that. I
Speaker 1: don't want to hear about that. Focus on the here
Speaker 1: and now and who you have available and coming up
Speaker 1: with a compelling story that can then take you into
Speaker 1: television next week and take you on into Crown Jewel.
Speaker 1: I don't like this whole Champion versus championshit they do.
Speaker 1: To me, it's just like going back to the Survivor
Speaker 1: series format from years ago and they did brand warfare,
Speaker 1: you know, and that got old, didn't mean anything. But
Speaker 1: if that's what they're gonna do, then to me, that
Speaker 1: gives away the finish here because I just don't see
Speaker 1: Cody losing that championship. I just I just don't see it.
Speaker 1: Should be a good match, though, but they better have
Speaker 1: more than just a good match if they're going to
Speaker 1: close the show with it, they have to have something,
Speaker 1: some big hook to take you into TV next week.
Speaker 1: For this show, and this being their big debut on ESPN,
Speaker 1: I'm sure they got something planned, whether it's for this
Speaker 1: match or something else on the show, but it would
Speaker 1: seem to point to something happening at the end of
Speaker 1: this match. We'll find out what that is. But the
Speaker 1: Wrestle Palooza card is still a five match card. Here's
Speaker 1: what it looks like. Brock Lesnar against John Cena. We
Speaker 1: have aj Lee and CM Punk taking on Seth Rollins
Speaker 1: and Becky Lynch. We have Jimmy and Back together the
Speaker 1: usso's taking on bron Breaker and Bronson Reid. We have
Speaker 1: the Women's World Championship to be decided. We are guaranteed
Speaker 1: to have a new champion on this show. It will
Speaker 1: either be EO Sky or Stephanie Vicaire and if we're
Speaker 1: being honest, we win either way. Stephanie would be a
Speaker 1: great champion. EO would be a great champion. I think
Speaker 1: it's premature to put that title on Stephanie. I would
Speaker 1: go with EO. I'm sticking with EO for the win,
Speaker 1: and then Cody and Drew for the WWE Championship in
Speaker 1: the main event. Those are your five matches on Wressell Palooza,
Speaker 1: and yes, I will be covering Wressell Palooza live. I'll
Speaker 1: be watching All Out until Wressell Palooza starts, and then
Speaker 1: we'll transition over to that live on YouTube tomorrow night
Speaker 1: for Wressell Palooza and then the sound off on Sunday.
Speaker 1: I will include my All Out review in the podcast
Speaker 1: episode nine thirty. So that is the plan for this weekend,
Speaker 1: so just be aware. Let's head over to Twitter. What
Speaker 1: did you think the cesspool that is Twitter? What did
Speaker 1: you think of the final SmackDown before Wressell Palooza thirty
Speaker 1: six point two percent thumbs up, thirty four point six
Speaker 1: percent thumbs in the middle, and twenty nine point three
Speaker 1: percent thumbs down. That's it's almost a dead heat. That's
Speaker 1: almost a dead heat. Look at that. Look at that
Speaker 1: thumbs up and thumbs in the middle. Very divided opinion
Speaker 1: on this show here tonight. Let's get into your super chats.
Speaker 1: We're uh six out of ten on the goal. Where
Speaker 1: are we on the likes four to twenty? All right,
Speaker 1: so we're guaranteed at least one round to be the
Speaker 1: booker if we get we get that goal in the
Speaker 1: in the chat, we'll do a double round, but we're
Speaker 1: guaranteed at least one, so that's good. It's more than
Speaker 1: I could say for for Wednesday night. I owe my
Speaker 1: how cold it has gotten. Got a little chili on Wednesdays,
Speaker 1: to say the least, the last few weeks. I don't
Speaker 1: know what else to say about that. But it's gonna
Speaker 1: be a big weekend of wrestling, very busy, so I
Speaker 1: appreciate all the support. It's gonna be very tiring weekend,
Speaker 1: but hopefully it'll be a fun one. It would be
Speaker 1: a good chance for me to take my mind off
Speaker 1: life for a few hours. Let's start with Victor. Victor
Speaker 1: with a dollar ninety nine, what WWE wrestlers have the
Speaker 1: best rogues galleries? I don't follow. What are you asking me, Victor?
Speaker 1: I love you, but you're gonna have to specify it.
Speaker 1: He says, Also, how would you rank every decade of
Speaker 1: WWE creative? I don't know him as far as ranking them.
Speaker 1: You know, I grew up on the Golden Era, and
Speaker 1: the stories back then were a lot simpler, but they
Speaker 1: some of the best stories. When you look at the
Speaker 1: Megapower storyline, some of the best stories came from that era.
Speaker 1: You know. It came from the eighties, eighties into the
Speaker 1: early nineties. There was a lot of good stuff in
Speaker 1: the nineties as well, So I'm partial to that. I'm
Speaker 1: certainly not putting the twenty tens anywhere near the top
Speaker 1: of that list. That I'm not doing. So, I don't
Speaker 1: know how they all rank, but I will tell you
Speaker 1: that I will lean towards the eighties and nineties period
Speaker 1: over the more recent ones. I know people talk about
Speaker 1: this being this is the cinema era, right cinema, and
Speaker 1: they had the Bloodline story and the Bloodline story for
Speaker 1: a while, there was quite great. But when you get
Speaker 1: beyond the bloodline stuff, and I try to think of
Speaker 1: like some of the greatest stories, the greatest creative stories
Speaker 1: of the last you know, five or six years. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's kind of light. You know. Group of villains I
Speaker 1: see best rivals or villains is what? Well? I mean,
Speaker 1: John Cena's had a pretty good bro He's had a
Speaker 1: pretty good group of villains I think that he's worked
Speaker 1: with over the years, right from Edge to Punk to Lesnar.
Speaker 1: Does that count? Today's episode is sponsored by Factor. The
Speaker 1: unofficial end of summer is here. No more swimming pools,
Speaker 1: no more barbecues, which is good actually because I was
Speaker 1: eating way too many burgers and hunt dogs. This is
Speaker 1: where Factor Meals comes in good in the clutch, because

Speaker 1: with code and qualifying auto renewing subscription purchase Sidrow as
Speaker 1: I guess Brox sent Corey to his graves. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: Yes he did Sidrow with the jokes. He sent Corey
Speaker 1: to his graves. Terrible dried chicken, says spoiler. Brock Lesner
Speaker 1: wins Lawless Victory Fatality on John Cena Holiday one ninety
Speaker 1: seven with Cody versus Drew is the main event for
Speaker 1: the pay per view. Could this mean that Drew wins
Speaker 1: the title tomorrow or perhaps Drew could win it at
Speaker 1: Crown Jewel. I think they'll do a couple of matches
Speaker 1: between them. They should do a couple of matches, but
Speaker 1: the belief is that they're doing the champion against Champion
Speaker 1: Nonsense at Crown Jewel, so that doesn't seem very likely.
Speaker 1: Dry Chicken says, I can't wait to watch aw Tailgate
Speaker 1: Brawl before All Out. I'm excited for that eight tag
Speaker 1: tornado match with the women. I can't tell if you're
Speaker 1: being sarcastic or not. We get so many multi person matches.
Speaker 1: It's just it's just ludicrous, it really is. Does this
Speaker 1: mean Corey can wrestle? Yes, Corey has been medically cleared
Speaker 1: for a few years now. It's like there were people
Speaker 1: who didn't think Nigel McGinnis was medically clear, but he
Speaker 1: was medically clear for years until one day, you know,
Speaker 1: he was able to get back in the ring. So
Speaker 1: who's to say that Corey Graves doesn't get back in
Speaker 1: the ring for a match one day. I mean, at
Speaker 1: one point I thought they were building to a like
Speaker 1: an announcer match where we were going to get Corey
Speaker 1: against Pat McAfee, and then it never happened. So yes,
Speaker 1: if Corey wanted to wrestle, he could wrestle. Boots with
Speaker 1: the fifteen bucks. What's going on, Boots? It may be
Speaker 1: the Friday Night booze talking, but I think the GWO
Speaker 1: needs a super secret handshake like the Street prop. It's
Speaker 1: just no backflips, that's all I ask we in the
Speaker 1: chat can workshop this later. I'm gonna leave that to you.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna make Boots the leader on that and you
Speaker 1: can work it out. You come up with whatever secret
Speaker 1: handshake you want. That's fine with me, exclusively for our
Speaker 1: channel members. Holliday says, I would like to see Ray
Speaker 1: Maisterio face John Cena in a match on Raw and
Speaker 1: win to avenge his WWE title loss in twenty eleven.
Speaker 1: Ray held the title for two hours before dropping it
Speaker 1: to Sena on a Raw episode. Oh I remember, and
Speaker 1: I would not hold my breath waiting for that match
Speaker 1: because it ain't gonna happen. The real CS with the
Speaker 1: nine ninety nine and Michael Cole is literally the worst
Speaker 1: broad cast. Part he said broad partner. I thought that's it.
Speaker 1: He's the worst broad Michael Cole is just the worst
Speaker 1: broad in history. This is the second time that his partner,
Speaker 1: I think, he says this year his partner had to
Speaker 1: save him and got their ass kicked for it. Oh right, McAfee,
Speaker 1: that's right, Well that was last year. I don't want
Speaker 1: to be his partner. That's right, Pat McAfee got killed
Speaker 1: by Gunther Prince Vegeta. I've got an id in mind
Speaker 1: for the Lessner's scene to finish tomorrow scene has got
Speaker 1: Brock backed into the corner and Brock asks for England
Speaker 1: John and Sina says no for me, and a giant
Speaker 1: satellite falls on Brock. What movie did I not see?
Speaker 1: I'm sure that's a movie reference. What movie did I
Speaker 1: not see that? I'm not getting here with this reference?
Speaker 1: Giant satellite falls on Brock. I mean that sounds like
Speaker 1: a final destination movie to me. Mactubb. Why isn't Rock
Speaker 1: ranked with Hogan Austin despite his unmatched ninety nine toh
Speaker 1: one peak and adaptability across four decades, because he didn't
Speaker 1: usher in an era like those two guys did. That's why,
Speaker 1: I mean, some people might list him. He's certainly in
Speaker 1: that conversation, but he is not the face of an era.
Speaker 1: He didn't usher in an era in the way that
Speaker 1: those two men did. That's the biggest difference. And Rock
Speaker 1: has had more longevity than Austin did. Neither one of
Speaker 1: them had the longevity that Hogan did. But that's the
Speaker 1: biggest difference. He says, also, Rock seventeen to eighteen against
Speaker 1: HBK twenty five to twenty six better WrestleMania run. I
Speaker 1: think I gotta go Rock on that, and I would
Speaker 1: say Rock just because of the variety there. You know,
Speaker 1: with Sean he had those great matches with Undertaker. Twenty
Speaker 1: five was better than twenty six, but it was the
Speaker 1: same guy. Rock did it with two different opponents, two
Speaker 1: very different opponents who just so happened to be two
Speaker 1: of the biggest names in the history of the business,
Speaker 1: and he beat them both. Rock is the only person
Speaker 1: in history who can say that he has beaten John Cena,
Speaker 1: Steve Austin, and Hulk Hogan at WRESTLEMANI, which is pretty impressive.
Speaker 1: But Rock had that excellent match with Austin at seventeen.
Speaker 1: Some say it's the best WrestleMania main event of all time,
Speaker 1: and then eighteen was just a total five star affair
Speaker 1: with Hogan. I gotta go Rock seventeen to eighteen, WWE
Speaker 1: Wrestling and gaming. Who wins the scene of Brock match Brock?
Speaker 1: I just feel like Brock's gonna win. Sidrow. What did
Speaker 1: the urologist say to the student who got accepted into
Speaker 1: urology school. You're in my God and biologists crossed a
Speaker 1: watermelon with cauliflower. People who eat the new variety get
Speaker 1: a sense of sadness known as melancholie. Okay, that's that's awful.
Speaker 1: You should have quit with the urologist joke man. That
Speaker 1: one is unmatched. Unmatched WWE wrestling and gaming. What's seen
Speaker 1: His greatest attribute slash strength. His greatest attributes he was
Speaker 1: He was the perfect corporate champion for Vince for many years.
Speaker 1: He is the perfect like embodiment. I think of what
Speaker 1: they look for in a champion, in a franchise player.
Speaker 1: He's you know, for so many years, he was the
Speaker 1: quarterback of that company. And I think his greatest attribute
Speaker 1: and strength in terms of WWE is that they could
Speaker 1: trust him, that he was never going to embarrass the company,
Speaker 1: he was never going to get them in trouble. He
Speaker 1: was always going to stay out of trouble. They could
Speaker 1: rely on him. I think in ways that maybe they
Speaker 1: felt like they couldn't with certain other top stars over
Speaker 1: the years, and he was just the perfect embodiment of
Speaker 1: everything they looked for in a champion. That's why he
Speaker 1: was on top for so long. That's why they loved
Speaker 1: him so much. That's why they call him the goat
Speaker 1: on commentary every week. So more than his actual physical
Speaker 1: strength or anything else's promo ability. To me, that's his
Speaker 1: greatest attribute that kept him on top for so long.
Speaker 1: Let's see here, we got Sidrow. There he is Sidrow
Speaker 1: with fourteen months of membership. And by the way, Noel
Speaker 1: Mulligan new channel member, Welcome. We got a bunch of
Speaker 1: new Legends members too, who were checking out that retro audio,
Speaker 1: so I hope you guys enjoy it. That stuff has
Speaker 1: not been heard since it originally aired. I mean, we're
Speaker 1: talking about early shit from like two thousand and seven,
Speaker 1: two thousand and eight, so it's it's kind of fun
Speaker 1: for me to go back and listen to some of
Speaker 1: that stuff. I just cringe at some of it because
Speaker 1: I just sounded so different. But the se Scoops Live
Speaker 1: show that I put up tonight from that week before
Speaker 1: WrestleMania twenty four is nice trip down memory lane. But
Speaker 1: Sidro says, wife warned me not to steal kitchen utensils,
Speaker 1: but it's a whisk I'm willing to take. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: it's a whisk. He's willing to take. And what do
Speaker 1: you call a cockpit when the pilots are women? I
Speaker 1: don't know because it disappeared on me. Hold on a
Speaker 1: second year, there we go. What do you call a
Speaker 1: cockpit where the pilots are women? The box office? Very good,
Speaker 1: very good, Daddy, you garte, says w NBC boyd w ANBC,
Speaker 1: you gotta say it right, w ANBC. H mac tub
Speaker 1: did you know Kevin Nash explain why Triple Ah to
Speaker 1: beat Punk? He said Punk's promos before Night of Champions
Speaker 1: severely offended him. Yeah, he beat Punk because you know
Speaker 1: he was Look, we know why he beat Punk. I
Speaker 1: don't need Kevin Nash to tell me why he beat Punk.
Speaker 1: It was obvious in twenty eleven why it happened. Angel
Speaker 1: Alago with the ten months of membership, says, my thoughts
Speaker 1: and prayers are with you, al Monster. I appreciate that.
Speaker 1: Still a tough situation with my aunt, she's still in
Speaker 1: the hospital. But hopefully next week is a better week.
Speaker 1: And then Angel with the one hundred and fifty dollars superbomb. Angel,
Speaker 1: you are very much You're like an angel from heaven
Speaker 1: here on the stream. Thank you, my friend. Hopefully you
Speaker 1: can joined for Wressell Palooza tomorrow, or is Cody said
Speaker 1: last week Wressell Palooza. I don't think Cody will be
Speaker 1: a h a Wrestle Palooza tomorrow. I think he's getting
Speaker 1: the wind. But Angel, thank you the moldy cheeseburger. It
Speaker 1: has been sixteen years since hade Vanson made his cryptic
Speaker 1: vignette on SmackDown. It's twenty twenty five. He still hasn't
Speaker 1: made his debut. When is he going to show up?
Speaker 1: He will come when Veer does. He will come when
Speaker 1: Veer does. Sidrow, I got a new stick deodorant today.
Speaker 1: The instruction said remove cap and push up bottom. I
Speaker 1: can barely walk, but when I fart the room smells lovely.
Speaker 1: What am I gonna do with you? What am I
Speaker 1: gonna do with you? Uh not? Hugh Morris calling it now.
Speaker 1: Brock is murdering Scena postmatch, but Jacob Fatu comes in
Speaker 1: for a face off with Lesner. Any way to incorporate
Speaker 1: Jacob Fatu into the mix is the correct move. So
Speaker 1: I mentioned wargames, they could all be involved in a
Speaker 1: war game scenario. I think that that would be great.
Speaker 1: I think that that would be great. If they can
Speaker 1: get Jacob involved in that, then you built to maybe
Speaker 1: a Lesnar Fatu match. I think that would be tremendous.
Speaker 1: Bace Bears says, is the Devil's Kiss even allowed in
Speaker 1: Saudi Arabia? Probably not. It's a lot of things they
Speaker 1: won't be able to do over there in terms of
Speaker 1: just the attire. That's why I'm very curious to see
Speaker 1: what his women's royal rumble looks like in January. Duffs
Speaker 1: viz what search engine does Mario use? Yahoo? Thank you, Duffs.
Speaker 1: Bace Bears says, five matches at Palooza is like five
Speaker 1: bands at Woodstock. Yeah, but yeah, you would have the
Speaker 1: five bands at Woodstock, but you would have like thirty
Speaker 1: minutes between each set so they can plug various various things.
Speaker 1: That would be the WWE version of Woodstock hosted by
Speaker 1: Michael Cole. Sidrow had my feet amputated and my boss
Speaker 1: fired me. These lack tose, intolerant suck What do you
Speaker 1: fish for at baptisms? Holy mackerels ps. Thanks for your donation, Solo, Well,
Speaker 1: you're very welcome. You know, I know it's been a
Speaker 1: very tough week for Sidrow. Sidro lost his mom, and
Speaker 1: as I said on the stream the other day, I
Speaker 1: don't know if Sidrow is with us, but we're all
Speaker 1: thinking about you. You're a part of the family, and
Speaker 1: here's the better days. Here's the better days. Duff VIDs.
Speaker 1: What did the blanket say when it fell off the bed?
Speaker 1: Oh sheet? O sheet? Paul Carpenter MotorCity Machine Guns versus
Speaker 1: Phraxium was on main event for Clash at Paris and
Speaker 1: was a five star in my opinion. Please check it out.
Speaker 1: Was on main event for Clash in Paris. What does
Speaker 1: that mean? They taped the match at Clash in Paris
Speaker 1: and it aired on main event. I didn't hear about this.
Speaker 1: Why was it on main event then and not one
Speaker 1: of the main shows. Duff's VIDs. The seven Dwarves were
Speaker 1: sitting in a hot tub until Doc started feeling sleepy,
Speaker 1: so Sleepy got out. Thank you, Duffs. Who were the
Speaker 1: seven Dwarfs? Doc, Sleepy, Dopey, bashful? I forgot the other ones.
Speaker 1: I only know four of the seven Dwarfs Sleepy it
Speaker 1: was Dumpy one? Or did I just make that up?
Speaker 1: I think Dumpy was one, right, Dumpy Dwarf. If not,
Speaker 1: it should be grumpy. Yeah, I know a few people
Speaker 1: like that. I know a few podcasters like that. All right,
Speaker 1: let's see here. What have we got here? We got Sidrow?
Speaker 1: What do you call an alligator who's a renegade? A gatorade?
Speaker 1: Of course, that just makes so much sense. Happy, grumpy, dopey, sneezy.
Speaker 1: I think Dumpy should be one. I'm sorry. We should
Speaker 1: kill one of the existing seven dwarves and replace them
Speaker 1: with Dumpy. I'm starting the campaign for it. We need
Speaker 1: Dumpy Dwarf. Noel Mulligan, Hi, Solam monster. I was thinking
Speaker 1: a wrestling event would do well in my city. Cork
Speaker 1: Super Value Park can hold forty five thousand, and I'll
Speaker 1: bet you there are a lot of wrestling fans there
Speaker 1: too who would love to go to a wrestling show
Speaker 1: like that. So I think that would be cool. Duff's VIDs.
Speaker 1: When I was young, I had two kidneys. Now I
Speaker 1: have adult knees. Sun oh Man Prince Vegeta says Drew
Speaker 1: should be in the spot that Seth is in. So
Speaker 1: Drew should be leading the vision. He's got way more
Speaker 1: aura than he does. Please give Drew another world title.
Speaker 1: Run Papa trips, all right, let's not call him Papa.
Speaker 1: It's a little weird. Duff's VIDs. What is it called
Speaker 1: when you carve a pumpkin in September? Premature e jack
Speaker 1: o lantern? Not bad? Not bad. It reminds me, actually,
Speaker 1: were what two weeks away? I get to start doing
Speaker 1: the Halloween designs here on the channel all month long.
Speaker 1: I love October. It's my favorite month. It might be
Speaker 1: my favorite month for another reason too. Someone might have
Speaker 1: a birthday coming up in a few weeks, but that's
Speaker 1: just a rumor. Actually, when does my birthday fall? My
Speaker 1: birthday falls on a Monday. How about that. I'll get
Speaker 1: to be live with all of you on a Monday
Speaker 1: night for my birthday. This year we have Duff's bids.
Speaker 1: My girlfriend came up to me and said, what starts
Speaker 1: with f and ens and K I said, no, it doesn't,
Speaker 1: it's not even close. I like that one. That's right.
Speaker 1: October is when the solemn Monster comes alive. That's right,
Speaker 1: he comes alive, and he'll come again in the month
Speaker 1: of October. Sidraw brother and I both have diarrhea. I
Speaker 1: guess it runs in the family. Were you the one
Speaker 1: who had the joke, it might have been on TNT
Speaker 1: and I fucking lost it. Where uh what was it?
Speaker 2: Was?
Speaker 1: The name for the perfect diarrhea medication would be gonorrhea,
Speaker 1: and I just I fucking lost it because it actually
Speaker 1: makes a lot of sense, right, If you're going to
Speaker 1: have a medication that you would take to stop diarrhea
Speaker 1: would be called gonorrhea. That's just perfect. It just makes
Speaker 1: so much sense. It was Sidra, of course it was you.
Speaker 1: Of course it was Is it true that they finally
Speaker 1: arrested Rajah Jackson. Yes, and he's already out fifty thousand
Speaker 1: dollars bond He's already been bonded out. It's pathetic. And
Speaker 1: he says, a guy starts a job at the nut factory.
Speaker 1: He says, it's not all that it's cracked up to be.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Sidro'll be taking some gonorrhea tonight, stuffs VIDs.
Speaker 1: I was gonna make a joke about retirement, but it
Speaker 1: doesn't work. That don't work for him. Brother Anobe sad
Speaker 1: to see our truth, shamelessly being a Kiosk salesperson for
Speaker 1: the ESPN app tonight. Also, there's a PL match PL
Speaker 1: match limit now, Yeah, apparently apparently there's a match limit
Speaker 1: now that Paul Avec has placed upon these pls, you're
Speaker 1: not allowed to go past five unless it's like a
Speaker 1: major show, then you get six. Bobby means the only
Speaker 1: way humanly possible. The care wins is if Oscar costs EO.
Speaker 1: But I just don't see it. Plus, what version of
Speaker 1: HBK is your favorite? My favorite version of HBK? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Is?
Speaker 1: I mean, I just yeah, hard to argue against the
Speaker 1: in ring output that he had in the late nineties.
Speaker 1: The stuff he was doing in the mid to late
Speaker 1: nineties is just untouchable. He had great stuff in the
Speaker 1: second half of his career too, but you can't. You
Speaker 1: can't beat that mid to late nineties HBK even with
Speaker 1: all of his faults. We got boots first time watching
Speaker 1: a CMLL show. The reps need to show a little
Speaker 1: more hustle with their counts. Yes, CMLL the Anniversary Zone
Speaker 1: is ongoing as we speak. I think it's actually being
Speaker 1: offered on Triller, I think in English and Spanish as
Speaker 1: a pay per view. But tonight is the big match
Speaker 1: with MJF defending his CMLL Light Heavyweight Championship against Mystico
Speaker 1: and then MJF and whoever else is on the show
Speaker 1: Hetch of Sero and all these people are gonna head
Speaker 1: on the Red Eye to make their way over to
Speaker 1: Toronto for all Out, which is an earlier start time.
Speaker 1: That's a three pm start time Eastern time tomorrow. So
Speaker 1: they're gonna go right from where the Mexico city. They're
Speaker 1: gonna go right from Mexico up to Toronto as quickly
Speaker 1: as possible. Man, look at that, we hit the goal too,
Speaker 1: We hit double be the booker. Look at that we
Speaker 1: have done it ten out of ten. That means a
Speaker 1: double be the Booker tonight. That makes up for the
Speaker 1: lack of be the Booker on Wednesday. Thanks Dynamite Cripple
Speaker 1: Punk ninety one. I just want to say thanks for
Speaker 1: streaming and thanks to those making jokes. There you go.
Speaker 1: You got a very kind thank you from Cripple Punk
Speaker 1: to h Duff's VIDs and Sidrow and everyone else. Putting
Speaker 1: a smile on his face tonight, it's very kind of him.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Cripple Punk. Boots says, this referee is a
Speaker 1: little too dowe, a little dowe to be a ref
Speaker 1: I didn't know referees had to meet certain criteria for
Speaker 1: their physique. A little too dowey, you say, Siddra says,
Speaker 1: Sidro says, die nomite. It feels that way. The last
Speaker 1: several weeks it's been like a ghost town. It's actually
Speaker 1: rather depressing. But it's okay because then on Mondays and
Speaker 1: Fridays it picks back up. Not much I can do.
Speaker 1: That's the sad state of things. When it comes to Wednesdays.
Speaker 1: What are you gonna do? I'll tell you what we're
Speaker 1: gonna do. We're gonna do double be the booker right now,
Speaker 1: that's what we're gonna do. Let do it, ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 1: It is now time to be the booker. Solo will
Speaker 1: start reviewing NXT on Tuesdays and ditch Wednesdays. Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: not gonna happen. I'm a little busy on Tuesdays. But honestly,
Speaker 1: even if I wasn't as bad as things have gotten
Speaker 1: with Dynamite, it would be worse with NXT because on
Speaker 1: those rare occasions in the past where I've reviewed NXT,
Speaker 1: like nobody gives a shit. They could talk about how
Speaker 1: much they think it's a great show and everything, but
Speaker 1: like nobody, nobody cares. Nobody gives a shit. That would
Speaker 1: be worse. That would be even worse than Dynamite. Trust me,
Speaker 1: all right, be the booker. Be the booker, and then
Speaker 1: I obviously we'll get back to the other super chats
Speaker 1: I haven't forgotten about. You get them on in. We
Speaker 1: still have, we have more to come, but we have
Speaker 1: to we have to get to be the booker. We
Speaker 1: must begin be the booker. And we are going to
Speaker 1: begin with father and son. We have Sting and we
Speaker 1: have Darby. Allen Sting and Darby the former AW Tag
Speaker 1: team champions. They are gonna be taking on Tyler Breese
Speaker 1: and Fandango. Love seeing Tyler Breese though back in the
Speaker 1: old gimmick on NXT this week. That was cool. Fans
Speaker 1: didn't seem to give a shit, which was kind of sad.
Speaker 1: But Breezogo was never was never a favorite of mine.
Speaker 1: It just it just wasn't. On the women's side, we
Speaker 1: have Hikaru Shida, the former AW Women's World Champion, where
Speaker 1: she'd have been. I haven't seen her in a while
Speaker 1: shaving a visa issues. Hikarashida gonna go one on one
Speaker 1: with Stephanie McMahon Helmsley. Stephanie was very easy on the
Speaker 1: eyes back then. But as far as her ring skills,
Speaker 1: I think we could come up with better opponents for Hikarushida.
Speaker 1: We are headed. We're headed for a reverse sweep here.
Speaker 1: This is this is not what I was hoping for.
Speaker 1: Main event. We have him. It is Carmelo Hayes, the
Speaker 1: winner of the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal. See
Speaker 1: him and dre my god is mis behind him? How
Speaker 1: long has this story been going on for with him
Speaker 1: and Miz? How long has it been going on for
Speaker 1: this partnership? All right, Carmelo Hayes, he was on the
Speaker 1: show tonight in the US Title Open Challenge. Now he's
Speaker 1: in the main event against Sting against not just Sting,
Speaker 1: but it's surfer Sting. Carmelo Hayes and surfers. Thing would
Speaker 1: actually be a hell of a match. Well, we got saved.
Speaker 1: We got saved from the reverse sweep, so that's good.
Speaker 1: Watch we get Sammy. Yeah, that would have been that
Speaker 1: would have been something if we would have landed on Sammy. Okay,
Speaker 1: so you guys unlocked round number two. We haven't had
Speaker 1: a double b the Booker in a few weeks, so
Speaker 1: this is good. We get to try again. But this
Speaker 1: time with stipulations. All right, so here we go. Uh oh,
Speaker 1: we got a brawl for all match. Someone's getting injured.
Speaker 1: We gotta do a brawl for all. This is gonna end,
Speaker 1: This is gonna end poorly depending on who we get.
Speaker 1: This is gonna be very interesting. Actually, in this Brawl
Speaker 1: for All, we have Sammy Gavara, who has picked a
Speaker 1: fighter two backstage in his day in aw Sammy Gavara
Speaker 1: in a brawl for all match. Let's see who gets
Speaker 1: to beat the ship out of Sammy Gavar. Here in
Speaker 1: this Brawl for All, we have Sammy Guevara and Papa Shango,
Speaker 1: Papa fucking Shango in a brawl for all match. Everything
Speaker 1: about this is just wrong. Papa Shango against Sammy Guevara,
Speaker 1: then you turn it into a brawl for all. Everything
Speaker 1: about this is just completely fucked. Although I'm going with
Speaker 1: Papa Shango just for the record, I'm going with Papa
Speaker 1: Shango in that match. Sammy doesn't stand the chance. All right,
Speaker 1: our next stipulation match is going to be a stretcher match,
Speaker 1: a stretcher match with the ladies. Papa Shango was in
Speaker 1: the wrong area, you know, there were plans drawn up
Speaker 1: for Papa Shanko to return in nineteen ninety seven, and
Speaker 1: they abandoned those plans. They ended up bringing him back
Speaker 1: as Kama Kama Mustapa. But I do wonder how that
Speaker 1: would have worked. I think if you were to tweak
Speaker 1: elements of the Papa Shango character, so like you don't
Speaker 1: have him putting curses on people and throwing up, you know,
Speaker 1: pea soup. But I do think it's a it's a
Speaker 1: pretty cool character that could have worked in that late
Speaker 1: nineties era with some tweaks. All right, a stretcher match
Speaker 1: with Mia Yim on one side, Sidro says, A stretch
Speaker 1: her match with the ladies pause. Yes, this is a
Speaker 1: stretcher match with Mea Yim and Willow Nightingale. I do
Speaker 1: love Willow. I'll give it the bell, right, Comma the
Speaker 1: super Fighting Machine. Remember when he debuted? I said, oh no,
Speaker 1: I can't wait until they debut. Period. All right, we
Speaker 1: got one more match and it's gonna be Solemn Monster's
Speaker 1: choice for the stipulation. Solemn Monster's choice. I guess this
Speaker 1: is what a tag team match? Or should we just
Speaker 1: book another men's match? I don't know what what stipulation
Speaker 1: do I want what stipulation do I want? Um hmmm,
Speaker 1: that's a really good question. How about we do the
Speaker 1: Big Blue Cage. I like the Big Blue Cage. That's
Speaker 1: what we're gonna do. And we're gonna and we're gonna
Speaker 1: do the men That's what we're gonna do, Big Blue Cage.
Speaker 1: I'm making an executive decision and booking another men's match
Speaker 1: here in the main event and inside the Big Blue
Speaker 1: k What is this. That's the painmaker. It's causing me
Speaker 1: some pain right now, the painmaker, Chris Jericho. Look at this.
Speaker 1: Look at this, Look at those muscles flexing those biceps.
Speaker 1: Look at this. This is what WW we could get
Speaker 1: back in a matter of months. They may get the
Speaker 1: pain maker. Everybody. Oh, just the pain Maker against the
Speaker 1: Undertaker in the Big Blue Cage. Purple Glove Undertaker, I
Speaker 1: don't know anyway. Those are your two rounds, would be
Speaker 1: the booker maker versus Taker. See. I like that. Let's
Speaker 1: get back to these super chats. You just look at
Speaker 1: a bunch more to get through here we have see here,
Speaker 1: Jeremy Rose. Any chance that AJ loses tomorrow? Seth stop
Speaker 1: I assume you mean Seth stomp, not Seth stop. That's possible,
Speaker 1: but no aj is winning it for her team. Aj
Speaker 1: Lee is gonna pin Becky Lynch to win. That's my prediction.
Speaker 1: I don't think aj Lee is returning for her first
Speaker 1: match in ten years and losing, But it also then
Speaker 1: sets her up for a match for the Intercontinental title
Speaker 1: if she pins Becky. Although I do wonder if they're
Speaker 1: going to do that Crown Jewel format. We didn't have
Speaker 1: too mid card women's titles last year, now we do.
Speaker 1: Does that mean we would get Becky Lynch against the Julia?
Speaker 1: I don't know. Richie says, if the Rock has two
Speaker 1: matches left on him, and that's all I want to see,
Speaker 1: who would his opponent be if he only had two
Speaker 1: matches left, it would be Cody Rhods and Roman Reigns.
Speaker 1: That's it. Paul Carpenter says, I'm going to need that
Speaker 1: VPN info solo Well, all you got to do go
Speaker 1: into the description of this video where it says support
Speaker 1: my sponsors. The link is right there, so use that
Speaker 1: link ExpressVPN dot com slash Solo Monster and sign up one.
Speaker 1: You know you got to pay for it. You got
Speaker 1: to pay for the year. I believe. Uh but it's
Speaker 1: it's it's what I did, and when you use that
Speaker 1: link you get four extra months free. I'm using it.
Speaker 1: I'm using the VPN now more than ever before, So
Speaker 1: it's totally worth it. Lavelle, you see Wrestle Palooza being
Speaker 1: better than All Out, I think it. I think it.
Speaker 1: I mean it could be. I think from an in
Speaker 1: ring perspective. All Out also has so many more matches.
Speaker 1: All Out may end up being the stronger show as
Speaker 1: far as you know the matches themselves. But could Wrestle
Speaker 1: Palooza turn out to kind of steal the weekend depending
Speaker 1: on what happens. You get a couple of bangers and
Speaker 1: then maybe a big angle that they shoot, and that
Speaker 1: could make it a better show. Uh So, I can't
Speaker 1: really sit here and tell you that. You know, I
Speaker 1: think one show is going to be much better than
Speaker 1: the other. I'm looking forward to seeing which show, frankly
Speaker 1: kind of steals the weekend. But it's hard to me.
Speaker 1: And when you have one show that has literally double
Speaker 1: or more than double the number of matches of the
Speaker 1: other show, it would take a super strong show tomorrow
Speaker 1: to I think, be better than the output we're going
Speaker 1: to get from all out. I'll just say that. Jeremy says,
Speaker 1: Graves injury clearly, So McAfee returns tomorrow. Yeah, but we
Speaker 1: already knew that though. But I guess in terms of
Speaker 1: the of k FABE, that's how they could explain it.
Speaker 1: That would make sense. Hey, Solo Mariah or Blake Mariah.
Speaker 1: Richie says if the rock uh oh, I already read
Speaker 1: that one. Broley says, SmackDown is in Orlando next week.
Speaker 1: Give me Javaon and Sammy. They had an interaction on
Speaker 1: the show just this past week. Sammy was in the
Speaker 1: back with him. He put him over. Could very well happen.
Speaker 1: Boots so Layeska took out Demonito with a topey at
Speaker 1: World's Collide. Mister Soco probably hates these young hand puppets
Speaker 1: taking unnecessary risks for cheap pops. Well, we don't talk
Speaker 1: about mister Soco, mister Soaco. As far as I know,
Speaker 1: last I heard, mister Soco was still in a rehab facility.
Speaker 1: He fell off the wagon again. He was doing some
Speaker 1: he was doing the hard stuff. He was doing the
Speaker 1: hard stuff. I mean, like seriously, like wrapping the tube
Speaker 1: around his arm. It was bad. So all the best
