WEBVTT 1 00:00:02.839 --> 00:00:06.519 This is WWE Superstar Drew McIntyre, and you're listening to 2 00:00:06.639 --> 00:00:16.000 the WWE podcast show. 3 00:00:15.359 --> 00:00:17.440 The one that everybody wants me. 4 00:00:24.399 --> 00:00:25.079 St. 5 00:00:25.079 --> 00:00:29.359 Sixteen, So that just well, your ass is mind. 6 00:00:29.399 --> 00:00:30.559 You're going to acknowledge me. 7 00:00:33.520 --> 00:00:35.200 What is going on everyone? 8 00:00:35.439 --> 00:00:41.200 And welcome to another main event review today, this one 9 00:00:41.399 --> 00:00:44.640 airing on the thirteenth of February. 10 00:00:45.840 --> 00:00:50.039 And I guess a lot to get through this week. 11 00:00:50.479 --> 00:00:55.799 Hopefully everyone had a good Valentine's Day. Those who were 12 00:00:55.880 --> 00:01:02.880 alone or with someone, hopefully they enjoyed. Nevertheless, and yeah, 13 00:01:02.960 --> 00:01:07.040 I think with Wrestlmania coming around the corner, a lot 14 00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:09.599 of things happening on SmackDown, a lot of things happening 15 00:01:10.040 --> 00:01:16.239 on Raw, and I guess it's getting translated into main 16 00:01:16.280 --> 00:01:17.159 event as well. 17 00:01:17.760 --> 00:01:22.840 And two good matches actually to review today. 18 00:01:22.879 --> 00:01:26.840 We had Maxine dupri coming up against Zoey Stark and 19 00:01:26.879 --> 00:01:31.879 then later on Penta taking on Grayson Waller, and before 20 00:01:31.920 --> 00:01:36.040 I guess reviewing that second match, there's a lot of people. 21 00:01:35.719 --> 00:01:37.480 That are concerned. 22 00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:40.879 I've seen on the internet that Penta is getting a 23 00:01:41.760 --> 00:01:46.920 main event match. People were obviously thinking that he's not 24 00:01:47.079 --> 00:01:50.159 going to be pushed and getting on the main event 25 00:01:50.200 --> 00:01:54.719 card is has quoted a downgrade to his story. But 26 00:01:55.120 --> 00:01:59.000 I think what people got to understand is that when 27 00:01:59.000 --> 00:02:01.640 you want you into the WWA, when you're starting to 28 00:02:01.640 --> 00:02:03.840 get your kind of character across, there are times where 29 00:02:03.879 --> 00:02:06.000 you need to make an appearance. 30 00:02:05.599 --> 00:02:06.200 On main events. 31 00:02:06.200 --> 00:02:10.479 So Penter being on main event for everyone's concerns, if 32 00:02:10.479 --> 00:02:12.639 there are any that are listening to the podcast, I 33 00:02:12.680 --> 00:02:16.719 don't see there being any concerns for him moving forward. 34 00:02:17.240 --> 00:02:19.759 I just think that he was booked in for at 35 00:02:19.840 --> 00:02:22.080 least one main event match just to I guess, hype 36 00:02:22.080 --> 00:02:24.759 the crowd up for those that probably don't know about 37 00:02:24.800 --> 00:02:28.719 his run outside of ww to better understand him and 38 00:02:28.719 --> 00:02:32.879 see how he performs in the ring. And yeah, I 39 00:02:32.879 --> 00:02:36.199 wouldn't be too concerned. I think that Penter w We've 40 00:02:36.240 --> 00:02:37.400 got a lot of plans for Penta. 41 00:02:37.919 --> 00:02:38.439 We have to. 42 00:02:38.439 --> 00:02:41.479 Understand that he was literally the iron man of this 43 00:02:41.560 --> 00:02:46.800 year's Roll Rumble, and there is a window of opponents 44 00:02:47.120 --> 00:02:49.360 that are needed for bron Breaker, and you've seen that 45 00:02:49.479 --> 00:02:53.120 Vinte's over raw, So I think that Penta is going 46 00:02:53.199 --> 00:02:55.759 to be more than okay, and I don't think there 47 00:02:55.800 --> 00:02:59.479 is nothing to worry about there. But for me personally, 48 00:02:59.520 --> 00:03:03.919 it's good to it's actually to be able to review 49 00:03:03.919 --> 00:03:07.439 a match with Penta on main event, and especially coming 50 00:03:07.479 --> 00:03:10.199 up against the Aussie icon Grayson Waller, who I've mentioned 51 00:03:10.240 --> 00:03:14.560 in the past that he is probably the most accurate 52 00:03:14.599 --> 00:03:20.560 representation of an Australian as I've ever seen on in WWE. 53 00:03:20.680 --> 00:03:21.400 So credit to the. 54 00:03:21.319 --> 00:03:24.199 Guy, and you probably all love to hate him, and 55 00:03:24.240 --> 00:03:28.159 that's what makes his character quite fascinating and what I 56 00:03:28.199 --> 00:03:31.719 love to see because he, yeah, he cherishes those Australian 57 00:03:31.800 --> 00:03:34.680 values that, yeah, they don't look good in in WWE, 58 00:03:34.719 --> 00:03:37.719 but I guess the sarcasm, the confidence, and especially his 59 00:03:37.840 --> 00:03:41.039 accent and the way he goes about things I kind 60 00:03:41.039 --> 00:03:44.639 of like. So yeah, I love to see Australian representation. 61 00:03:44.719 --> 00:03:47.039 As you can probably all aware, who doesn't like to 62 00:03:47.080 --> 00:03:50.840 see their own in the bigger stages of the world, 63 00:03:50.840 --> 00:03:55.599 whether it's in sports or in celebrity things or music 64 00:03:56.000 --> 00:03:59.680 or WWE, which is basically what I'm talking about here, 65 00:03:59.759 --> 00:04:02.439 But just wanted to clear that up before we get 66 00:04:02.479 --> 00:04:06.520 into it. And also there are a few things that 67 00:04:06.560 --> 00:04:11.520 happened on SmackDown a week prior so just to quickly address. 68 00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:14.479 We had the Charlotte Flair promo. 69 00:04:14.560 --> 00:04:17.040 With Tiffany Stratten and just want to get that one 70 00:04:17.040 --> 00:04:19.519 out the way because it happened last but last week, 71 00:04:19.560 --> 00:04:21.480 and there was obviously a new episode that came out. 72 00:04:22.199 --> 00:04:24.040 She was obviously speaking with Tiffany. 73 00:04:23.639 --> 00:04:28.199 Stratton basically saying that she is a child, and then 74 00:04:28.800 --> 00:04:34.519 we get her ultimately choosing tiff in my opinion, which 75 00:04:34.560 --> 00:04:37.480 was like the weirdest way possible. I already said that 76 00:04:37.519 --> 00:04:39.839 I would have preferred her to go up against Riar Ripley, 77 00:04:39.879 --> 00:04:42.959 and I know that everything was pointing towards these two 78 00:04:43.480 --> 00:04:46.360 going out at WrestleMania, So I'm not surprised with the 79 00:04:46.399 --> 00:04:49.399 decision because of I guess more majority of the people 80 00:04:49.399 --> 00:04:51.040 already thought this. But the way they kind of went 81 00:04:51.040 --> 00:04:53.839 about it, by her just being on the stage, on 82 00:04:53.959 --> 00:04:58.279 the ring, on the floor and Charlotte coming and sitting 83 00:04:58.399 --> 00:05:02.399 for chance saying tif, I choose you, She's pretty weird 84 00:05:02.439 --> 00:05:04.160 because I don't think they built it up that much 85 00:05:04.360 --> 00:05:06.160 for her to make that decision. It just came out 86 00:05:06.399 --> 00:05:09.199 out of nowhere. But I guess we're getting a charltt 87 00:05:09.240 --> 00:05:13.639 Tiffany Strata match, and I suspect that this is going 88 00:05:13.680 --> 00:05:15.959 to make Tiffany. 89 00:05:17.959 --> 00:05:18.639 Elevate a bit. 90 00:05:18.800 --> 00:05:20.439 I was looking for the word elevate a bit in 91 00:05:21.360 --> 00:05:26.759 her superstar status because Charlotte is obviously at the probably 92 00:05:26.800 --> 00:05:29.120 back end of her career. She's done enough in WWE, 93 00:05:29.279 --> 00:05:32.959 so this might be a way to push Tiffany Stratten over. 94 00:05:33.079 --> 00:05:35.839 And if that's the case, then got to respect Charlotte 95 00:05:35.879 --> 00:05:40.360 for pushing over the new and upcutting talent. And also 96 00:05:41.279 --> 00:05:43.800 she clearly shows that ww have massive plans for Tiffany 97 00:05:43.839 --> 00:05:47.439 Stratton and rightly so, because she's well over at the moment. 98 00:05:47.680 --> 00:05:50.360 So yeah, I just wanted to address that because they 99 00:05:50.399 --> 00:05:52.279 did add the. 100 00:05:52.079 --> 00:05:54.959 Main Event segment. They did add a main event segment 101 00:05:55.360 --> 00:05:59.000 or SmackDown segment on Main Event for this episode, and 102 00:05:59.040 --> 00:06:00.759 this is the annoying part for me personally. I just 103 00:06:00.959 --> 00:06:03.040 that's why I don't like that they come out on Sundays, 104 00:06:03.079 --> 00:06:05.480 because if they are going to release the main Event 105 00:06:05.480 --> 00:06:07.839 show on Sunday, they should really address the latest SmackDown 106 00:06:07.920 --> 00:06:10.839 rather than the SmackDown before. All of yous already get 107 00:06:10.839 --> 00:06:13.279 the content from Amanda and from Matt as well, so 108 00:06:14.079 --> 00:06:17.079 just resurfacing that content with news that's over a week 109 00:06:17.120 --> 00:06:19.639 ago just seems a bit pointless. But just thought i'd 110 00:06:19.680 --> 00:06:22.800 mention that, and I guess my take on what's going 111 00:06:22.839 --> 00:06:23.759 to happen with those two. 112 00:06:24.279 --> 00:06:25.160 Exciting to see that. 113 00:06:25.360 --> 00:06:27.560 Yes, as mentioned that Tivny is going to be getting 114 00:06:27.560 --> 00:06:31.000 a push and Charlott's looking to elevate younger superstars, so 115 00:06:31.240 --> 00:06:34.879 I liked the direction there for a match. I did 116 00:06:34.879 --> 00:06:37.639 obviously prefer rear Ripley and Charlotte, I guess because they're 117 00:06:37.639 --> 00:06:39.160 won one at WrestleMania and that would be a good 118 00:06:39.240 --> 00:06:41.519 rubber match, and I feel like that feud would be 119 00:06:41.560 --> 00:06:45.199 a bit more exciting. There's more to it, but I 120 00:06:45.279 --> 00:06:49.240 understand the direction there and I'm not surprised. But anyway, 121 00:06:50.120 --> 00:06:52.800 we will move on to the first match of the 122 00:06:52.839 --> 00:06:56.319 main event, which has mentioned was Maxine dupri ends we 123 00:06:56.399 --> 00:07:01.199 start as we start getting the victory here, no PFC, 124 00:07:01.319 --> 00:07:03.920 no Sonya Deville, so that was obviously confirmed last week 125 00:07:03.920 --> 00:07:06.600 As mentioned that Sonya Deville is not going to have 126 00:07:06.800 --> 00:07:10.000 a place in ww anymore, and it seems as though 127 00:07:12.040 --> 00:07:15.839 SHANEA Bezons always stuck us still together. The win was 128 00:07:15.879 --> 00:07:19.199 caused by a distraction from SHANEA Blazer who watched the 129 00:07:19.839 --> 00:07:22.160 leg on the ring from Maxine Debris, so got a 130 00:07:22.160 --> 00:07:23.959 bit lucky that she was able to do it the 131 00:07:23.959 --> 00:07:27.360 second time. But from there, Maxine Debris I did a 132 00:07:27.439 --> 00:07:30.480 nice rolling sent on, which, to be honest, was actually 133 00:07:30.480 --> 00:07:33.000 really cool. Like I was actually really impressed with the move. 134 00:07:33.000 --> 00:07:36.439 I think she executed the cent on extremely well, but 135 00:07:36.480 --> 00:07:39.360 it obviously went to a downfall because always Stark ended 136 00:07:39.399 --> 00:07:41.600 up putting her finish and getting the victory. 137 00:07:42.240 --> 00:07:45.720 The match itself was a pretty solid match. Alpha Academy 138 00:07:45.800 --> 00:07:46.279 have become. 139 00:07:46.680 --> 00:07:49.480 I guess the main event staples here as mentioned before, 140 00:07:49.519 --> 00:07:51.240 being the entertainment. 141 00:07:51.120 --> 00:07:55.240 Before the raw show there. But yeah, I guess a 142 00:07:55.279 --> 00:07:55.759 good match. 143 00:07:56.000 --> 00:07:57.959 I'm not really sure what they're going to do for 144 00:07:58.600 --> 00:08:01.000 the two, but I'd love to see get a bit 145 00:08:01.160 --> 00:08:04.000 more ring time, whether it's in the main event or 146 00:08:04.079 --> 00:08:06.399 under night Row, because it feels like she never she's 147 00:08:06.439 --> 00:08:08.240 never wrestling, and today. 148 00:08:08.480 --> 00:08:09.720 She really did well. 149 00:08:09.759 --> 00:08:12.680 I think this loss doesn't put her or the elevate 150 00:08:12.720 --> 00:08:15.279 her de escalate her in any way. I think this 151 00:08:15.399 --> 00:08:19.360 is just a message to say that despite Sonya Deville 152 00:08:19.839 --> 00:08:23.399 not being in WW anymore, they still believe in Zobe 153 00:08:23.480 --> 00:08:24.439 Stark and Chaina Beza. 154 00:08:24.959 --> 00:08:26.920 They may be a tag team. 155 00:08:26.800 --> 00:08:30.519 Still, or they may go their separate ways, but I 156 00:08:30.560 --> 00:08:34.519 think both of them as hell tag teams can be 157 00:08:34.559 --> 00:08:37.720 something good for the tag team division, and with Maxine Duprie, 158 00:08:37.799 --> 00:08:40.240 I think they need to start pushing her a bit 159 00:08:40.240 --> 00:08:43.840 more because when I first started seeing he wrestle last year, 160 00:08:44.080 --> 00:08:46.039 you could sell she didn't seem to have a lot 161 00:08:46.080 --> 00:08:49.320 of confidence. She felt very raw. But as she's grown 162 00:08:49.360 --> 00:08:53.600 into this character, especially since Chad Gable left and was 163 00:08:53.679 --> 00:08:56.840 obviously turning heel and bullying on them, she's sparked up 164 00:08:56.879 --> 00:08:59.000 a lot of confidence and you can see that in 165 00:08:59.120 --> 00:09:02.720 ring as well. Obviously she's not taking victories because those 166 00:09:02.799 --> 00:09:05.679 like little spurts happen in like two three minute periods 167 00:09:05.720 --> 00:09:09.200 and then she ends up getting dominated anyway. But I 168 00:09:09.600 --> 00:09:12.440 do like what I'm seeing with Maxine dupre and I 169 00:09:12.480 --> 00:09:14.679 would love to see more see how she comes up 170 00:09:14.679 --> 00:09:17.799 against other opposition, and hopefully she gets some time on 171 00:09:18.679 --> 00:09:22.759 Monday Night Raw. Like Otis and Chad Gable not getting 172 00:09:22.799 --> 00:09:26.399 their kind of their program, I really would like to 173 00:09:26.440 --> 00:09:29.679 see Ivy Noyle and Maxine dupre get a proper program. 174 00:09:30.000 --> 00:09:32.480 I feel like that's something that can happen long term, 175 00:09:33.120 --> 00:09:35.840 because I feel as though that that hasn't really been 176 00:09:35.840 --> 00:09:36.919 fully addressed as well. 177 00:09:36.960 --> 00:09:37.799 Ivy now was. 178 00:09:38.120 --> 00:09:41.679 I think turning on Maxine Depre simply to join a alfak. 179 00:09:41.879 --> 00:09:45.480 I'm sorry, American mate, and they haven't really addressed that properly. 180 00:09:45.519 --> 00:09:48.519 I feel like that's a storyline that can get Maxine 181 00:09:48.559 --> 00:09:51.320 Depre elevated to where I think she can be in 182 00:09:51.360 --> 00:09:55.360 the future, So hopefully that will happen in the future. 183 00:09:55.399 --> 00:09:58.360 But no complaints about the match, with some good moves, 184 00:09:58.440 --> 00:10:00.879 just that small botch from Shanna Bezer, but other than 185 00:10:00.919 --> 00:10:05.320 that pretty solid display there. We then get a small 186 00:10:05.720 --> 00:10:09.039 SmackDown segment. Again, this was before the latest recording the 187 00:10:09.039 --> 00:10:12.799 SmackDown of Solo returning and attacking Cody Rhoads, and then 188 00:10:12.840 --> 00:10:17.519 this was addressed the week after in like the most 189 00:10:17.559 --> 00:10:20.039 strangest way when Cody Rhodes said, like, I feel like 190 00:10:20.080 --> 00:10:25.120 that spike wasn't for me, So why the hell would 191 00:10:25.240 --> 00:10:29.440 Solo spike Cody Roads. Then if it wasn't for Cody Rhoads, 192 00:10:29.559 --> 00:10:32.559 it was clearly for someone else, which we obviously now 193 00:10:33.559 --> 00:10:36.799 suspect that it's something to do with Jacob Fattu. Why 194 00:10:36.840 --> 00:10:40.039 the hell has Solo attacked Cody Rhoads. 195 00:10:40.840 --> 00:10:41.759 And again. 196 00:10:43.000 --> 00:10:46.840 Another just ridiculous thing where we've seen a feud happen 197 00:10:47.799 --> 00:10:50.480 for over three months and we feel as though it's over. 198 00:10:50.600 --> 00:10:54.120 And then the next week we get Cody Rhoads getting 199 00:10:54.120 --> 00:10:57.639 attacked by Solo. We had had this with Drew McIntyre 200 00:10:57.799 --> 00:11:01.360 and see him punk having promos post Hell in the Sale. 201 00:11:01.639 --> 00:11:04.960 We even had rear Ripley getting attacked by liv Morgan 202 00:11:05.039 --> 00:11:09.159 and Rocca Rodriguez, Like are these feuds dead or they 203 00:11:09.200 --> 00:11:10.240 want to continue. 204 00:11:09.879 --> 00:11:10.679 Going with the feuds? 205 00:11:10.679 --> 00:11:13.799 And I see where Triple A is coming from and 206 00:11:14.080 --> 00:11:16.759 the and the storyline creators coming from here, Like just 207 00:11:16.799 --> 00:11:19.679 because the feud's over doesn't mean there is no dislike 208 00:11:19.840 --> 00:11:22.519 towards each other. But I guess we get tired of 209 00:11:22.559 --> 00:11:24.600 the same feuds all all and again. And like for 210 00:11:24.679 --> 00:11:27.919 Solo's return to be attacking Cody Rhodes, to me just 211 00:11:27.919 --> 00:11:30.200 didn't it didn't make sense at all, And even especially 212 00:11:30.200 --> 00:11:34.600 when he pulls a promo and Cody says, I don't 213 00:11:34.600 --> 00:11:36.600 think that spike was for me. It just yeah, it 214 00:11:36.639 --> 00:11:39.200 just didn't make sense. But we did see what's going 215 00:11:39.279 --> 00:11:43.480 on there. We saw rumblings of what could happen between 216 00:11:43.519 --> 00:11:47.000 Fatou and Solo. I'm suspecting a WrestleMania fight between the 217 00:11:47.039 --> 00:11:50.240 two far too obviously being extremely over at the moment, 218 00:11:50.279 --> 00:11:53.480 even he's getting now far too chance. He's looking to 219 00:11:53.639 --> 00:11:57.600 be the next big thing, and this starts with I 220 00:11:57.639 --> 00:12:01.879 think a solo fight at WrestleMania. Now, what I will 221 00:12:01.879 --> 00:12:06.360 say is that I don't mind Fatu moving face. But 222 00:12:06.480 --> 00:12:11.159 what I do mind is if Fatu starts becoming sucky 223 00:12:11.200 --> 00:12:14.919 with the crowd. I think that Fatu can remain the 224 00:12:14.919 --> 00:12:19.120 same intimidating person that doesn't like anyone, but he doesn't 225 00:12:19.120 --> 00:12:22.039 necessarily have to be a babyface. He can be loved 226 00:12:22.039 --> 00:12:24.639 by the crowd for his attitude and still have attitude 227 00:12:24.639 --> 00:12:28.240 against everyone face or hell. So I really hope they 228 00:12:29.120 --> 00:12:32.200 stay put with his character. I don't think he needs 229 00:12:32.240 --> 00:12:36.120 to be a baby face in that aspect. He can 230 00:12:36.159 --> 00:12:38.919 be cheered, he can be loved because he actually deserves it. 231 00:12:38.960 --> 00:12:41.639 He's well over and he's incredible in the ring. He's 232 00:12:41.679 --> 00:12:44.679 also incredible on the mic, so I can understand that point. 233 00:12:45.159 --> 00:12:47.519 But I don't want Fatu then to start going how 234 00:12:47.600 --> 00:12:49.480 much he loves the fans and how much he brought 235 00:12:49.559 --> 00:12:51.559 him out of jail and all these things, like, no, 236 00:12:51.960 --> 00:12:54.600 let's just make Fatu and keep him how he is. 237 00:12:55.080 --> 00:12:57.240 He can pick whoever he wants to fight against, whether 238 00:12:57.279 --> 00:13:00.919 it's a face or a heel, but just keep far 239 00:13:01.000 --> 00:13:04.399 too authentic because what I'm simply asking for. And we 240 00:13:04.480 --> 00:13:10.159 did see at the end Solo accidentally spiking Tamatonga, so 241 00:13:10.200 --> 00:13:13.320 we've already got some tensions there. Fatu is not going 242 00:13:13.320 --> 00:13:15.919 to be happy that he didn't get his elimination chamber 243 00:13:15.960 --> 00:13:18.559 spot due to that distraction. It was a good way 244 00:13:18.559 --> 00:13:21.120 for WW to protect him. We would have loved to 245 00:13:21.159 --> 00:13:25.080 see him in the chamber causing havoc, but the truth 246 00:13:25.080 --> 00:13:27.639 of the matter is that he was not going to 247 00:13:27.679 --> 00:13:29.600 win anyway even if he was in the chamber. 248 00:13:30.200 --> 00:13:31.240 And I think Damien. 249 00:13:31.000 --> 00:13:34.360 Priest does deserve it despite not really doing much or 250 00:13:34.360 --> 00:13:37.320 there's not much really plans for him going forward, but 251 00:13:38.000 --> 00:13:41.519 since he did win the World Heavyweight Championship last year, 252 00:13:41.519 --> 00:13:43.559 he does deserve a place in the Royal Rumbles, So 253 00:13:44.200 --> 00:13:48.200 that's good again. Fatou and Solo WrestleMania would be saying 254 00:13:48.320 --> 00:13:50.360 super exciting, and I think it's the best way for 255 00:13:51.000 --> 00:13:53.559 Solo to kind of make an impact since he's pretty 256 00:13:53.600 --> 00:13:57.200 much lost all the important matches and must win matches, 257 00:13:58.279 --> 00:14:00.679 and I don't think that's going to change anytime soon, 258 00:14:00.799 --> 00:14:03.879 especially with the likes of Fattuo. You don't want so 259 00:14:04.080 --> 00:14:08.720 fatuus first loss being against being against Solo. There cool, 260 00:14:09.000 --> 00:14:13.200 and then we move on to Raw where we have 261 00:14:13.360 --> 00:14:19.039 Jay Usso again doing his ten minute victory entrance. Seems 262 00:14:19.159 --> 00:14:22.480 to be the case for every show, which is which 263 00:14:22.480 --> 00:14:23.399 I'm not complaining about. 264 00:14:23.440 --> 00:14:25.600 I'm actually really fond of it. 265 00:14:26.120 --> 00:14:28.200 The fans are gone crazy, but they did a really 266 00:14:28.240 --> 00:14:32.440 good job here in interrupting it with Gunfer pulling him 267 00:14:32.440 --> 00:14:35.960 off the table and giving him two power bombs and 268 00:14:36.000 --> 00:14:39.440 attacking him, and we get security clearing up. 269 00:14:39.600 --> 00:14:42.960 He walks out of the ring. Jay Us grabs the mic. 270 00:14:43.039 --> 00:14:46.360 And basically tells us everything that we already knew that 271 00:14:46.720 --> 00:14:50.000 he wants Gunfa at WrestleMania. So that was such a 272 00:14:50.039 --> 00:14:52.919 big surprise. It wasn't We all knew that this was 273 00:14:52.960 --> 00:14:56.759 going to happen. So I think I'm extremely disappointed. I'll 274 00:14:56.759 --> 00:15:00.519 be honest in both ways to announce who they're fighting 275 00:15:00.559 --> 00:15:03.159 up against restlemented as in I'm talking about Charlotte Flair 276 00:15:03.159 --> 00:15:06.480 and Jay Husso. I would have rather it be a 277 00:15:06.519 --> 00:15:10.919 bit more suspenseful, especially the Charlotte Flair one't because there 278 00:15:10.960 --> 00:15:13.720 was an opportunity for both for both bookings to be good, 279 00:15:14.200 --> 00:15:16.240 but with jay us I guess this is probably the 280 00:15:16.240 --> 00:15:18.120 only way that they could have done it, really, but 281 00:15:18.399 --> 00:15:21.440 now it seems as though that Guansha is just going 282 00:15:21.480 --> 00:15:27.440 to make ja USO's life a living hell. And as mentioned, 283 00:15:27.440 --> 00:15:30.120 we do need new stars to be put over and 284 00:15:30.200 --> 00:15:34.840 to highlight WrestleMania, but that doesn't mean that I want 285 00:15:35.000 --> 00:15:38.840 Juice jay Uso to have his kind of WrestleMania moment 286 00:15:38.879 --> 00:15:41.519 this year, like the likes of Cody Rhodes and Daniel 287 00:15:41.519 --> 00:15:43.679 Bryan in the past, and Kovie Kingston. As I mentioned 288 00:15:43.759 --> 00:15:46.960 last year, I do think GANSA still has a lot 289 00:15:47.000 --> 00:15:49.720 to give as champions, and I still think they can 290 00:15:49.840 --> 00:15:53.919 run this back next year as well, so hopefully they do. 291 00:15:54.120 --> 00:15:55.960 It will make the story a lot more interesting. It 292 00:15:55.960 --> 00:15:59.080 will continue to fight up put the narrative that jay 293 00:15:59.159 --> 00:16:02.600 Uso is not good enough to be a main eventor 294 00:16:02.679 --> 00:16:06.000 and to win gold. So one more year of that 295 00:16:06.240 --> 00:16:09.799 I don't think will hurt. But I guess WW can 296 00:16:09.840 --> 00:16:12.000 be really impatient and they might have to ride with 297 00:16:12.039 --> 00:16:16.440 this this heat that jay Usa is getting, so let's 298 00:16:16.440 --> 00:16:18.960 see what happens. I'm very keen for that one, and 299 00:16:19.080 --> 00:16:23.519 I'm going to be very patient and very interested and 300 00:16:23.559 --> 00:16:26.320 locked into this feud because I think that's where you 301 00:16:26.360 --> 00:16:29.120 have to be as a fan. We can complain, we 302 00:16:29.120 --> 00:16:30.960 can make our points, and we can say that we 303 00:16:31.000 --> 00:16:33.639 prefer these to prefer that, But in the end, the 304 00:16:33.679 --> 00:16:35.639 best way and the best things to do is to 305 00:16:35.679 --> 00:16:38.559 trust the process. Understand that Triple H has a plan 306 00:16:38.639 --> 00:16:42.840 and an idea, trust that and hopefully they can deliver. 307 00:16:43.759 --> 00:16:46.679 And most of the time I see that we always 308 00:16:46.720 --> 00:16:49.759 complain about stuff, we want stuff differently, but we end 309 00:16:49.840 --> 00:16:53.799 up getting over it and moving on anyway. So hopefully 310 00:16:53.879 --> 00:16:55.840 we get a good booking here. If not, I guess 311 00:16:55.919 --> 00:16:57.799 we'll have to just see what they do after that 312 00:16:57.879 --> 00:17:02.879 and we'll have to forget about it real quick. We 313 00:17:03.000 --> 00:17:07.359 then get to our second match of the main event, 314 00:17:08.000 --> 00:17:11.720 and that was Penta going up against the Aussie icon 315 00:17:12.160 --> 00:17:15.680 Grays and Waller, and as I mentioned at the start, 316 00:17:16.119 --> 00:17:19.200 a lot of you guys were obviously concerned of Penta 317 00:17:19.279 --> 00:17:24.200 being on the main event, but that entrance, he's not 318 00:17:24.240 --> 00:17:25.839 going to be there for long because he had a 319 00:17:25.880 --> 00:17:29.079 massive pop. It really felt like I was watching a 320 00:17:29.359 --> 00:17:32.559 raw match, not a main event match. With the atmosphere, 321 00:17:32.880 --> 00:17:36.480 people were clearly excited to see Penta. The crowd was 322 00:17:36.519 --> 00:17:41.680 feeling it, and I think going forward, I wouldn't mind 323 00:17:41.720 --> 00:17:45.400 to see stars of that colorber go on main event 324 00:17:45.599 --> 00:17:47.480 just to hype up the crowd a little bit more, 325 00:17:48.359 --> 00:17:50.480 because that was really good. There was a lot of 326 00:17:50.720 --> 00:17:54.480 a lot of atmosphere, The crowd was electric, and you 327 00:17:54.519 --> 00:17:58.319 could see that he has made for big things in WWA. 328 00:17:58.440 --> 00:18:01.200 Maybe not World champion and ship things at the moment, 329 00:18:01.279 --> 00:18:05.519 but definitely mid card belts is something that Pender should 330 00:18:05.519 --> 00:18:09.319 be in the conversations about and in the bookings for 331 00:18:09.319 --> 00:18:09.799 for sure. 332 00:18:10.400 --> 00:18:11.079 And yet this. 333 00:18:11.160 --> 00:18:14.960 Match, Pent obviously getting the victory here, had no doubts, 334 00:18:14.960 --> 00:18:20.640 no questions about that on his main event debut due 335 00:18:20.640 --> 00:18:23.119 to the and there was win by the Penter Driver. 336 00:18:23.720 --> 00:18:25.839 But before that we had the Aussie. 337 00:18:25.720 --> 00:18:27.799 Icon, which is what I'm going to call him because 338 00:18:27.799 --> 00:18:33.640 he is one accidentally hit Austin theory, and that's going 339 00:18:33.720 --> 00:18:37.359 to be something to go through into the triple threat 340 00:18:37.359 --> 00:18:42.160 match for the NFT Championship with Oberfemi, and hopefully, hopefully 341 00:18:42.200 --> 00:18:45.440 they split these two guys up, because they've been hyping 342 00:18:45.519 --> 00:18:48.799 this since post WrestleMania that they were going to split 343 00:18:48.920 --> 00:18:52.519 up and they still haven't done it yet. I'm not 344 00:18:52.559 --> 00:18:56.160 sure whether what's going to happen after that, But clearly 345 00:18:56.160 --> 00:18:59.519 Austin Theory was someone that was highly pushed before getting 346 00:18:59.599 --> 00:19:03.759 a a victory against Johnson at WrestleMania, and there just 347 00:19:03.799 --> 00:19:05.920 needs to be a push for him. He is young, 348 00:19:05.960 --> 00:19:08.759 he's upcoming, Grayson older, Waller's on the older side. He 349 00:19:08.759 --> 00:19:12.440 can definitely help elevate Austin Theory to another level. But 350 00:19:12.960 --> 00:19:15.920 they really shouldn't be They really shouldn't be there together, 351 00:19:16.519 --> 00:19:19.559 and I'm getting tired of seeing them together because it 352 00:19:19.640 --> 00:19:21.559 just feels like it's not helping either of them. It 353 00:19:21.599 --> 00:19:24.400 makes Grayson Waller looks worse, it makes Austin. 354 00:19:24.079 --> 00:19:25.480 Theory look a lot worse. 355 00:19:25.519 --> 00:19:29.000 If I'm honest, despite my bias towards the Aussie icon, 356 00:19:29.400 --> 00:19:33.720 I have to say that since Austin Theory has been 357 00:19:33.759 --> 00:19:35.640 with Grace and Waller, he hasn't really done much or 358 00:19:35.680 --> 00:19:39.519 shown anything or there's no indication that there are any 359 00:19:39.559 --> 00:19:43.640 plans for him. He's young, he's hungry, he can wrestle, 360 00:19:43.720 --> 00:19:47.440 he's extremely strong, he's got the confidence he can easily 361 00:19:48.039 --> 00:19:50.759 do something better here. And I feel like Grayson Waller 362 00:19:50.799 --> 00:19:55.839 can potentially be the next Miss if possible, I could 363 00:19:55.880 --> 00:19:59.480 see him definitely having that Grayson Waller effects show happen 364 00:19:59.519 --> 00:20:02.240 more often, because I think it's great that they have 365 00:20:02.319 --> 00:20:05.680 those shows, those segments with certain shows, and the Grayson 366 00:20:05.759 --> 00:20:09.160 Waller effect is one perfect example. And maybe one day 367 00:20:09.200 --> 00:20:11.319 he wins a mid card cheating and holds it on 368 00:20:11.400 --> 00:20:14.200 for a bit, or my dreams is that he becomes 369 00:20:14.240 --> 00:20:16.720 a world champion by winning the money in the bank 370 00:20:16.759 --> 00:20:20.440 and holding holding the belt for a bit, not getting 371 00:20:20.480 --> 00:20:24.480 the most patriotic victories. But again, these two need to 372 00:20:24.480 --> 00:20:27.920 split up. Hopefully that happens, and the n XT I'll 373 00:20:27.960 --> 00:20:29.680 be keeping an eye out for that one for sure. 374 00:20:30.279 --> 00:20:33.519 But again, this is about Penta. This is about Pent's elevation, 375 00:20:33.759 --> 00:20:36.920 his main event, getting his main event debut out the way, 376 00:20:37.480 --> 00:20:40.799 and I suspect we won't see him here much often, 377 00:20:40.880 --> 00:20:44.680 but hopefully WW can see that when you put a 378 00:20:44.680 --> 00:20:48.119 superstar of that colib Onto main event, you still get 379 00:20:48.119 --> 00:20:50.359 some energy from the crowd and some hype and I 380 00:20:50.400 --> 00:20:53.400 definitely did see that, and it was great to see 381 00:20:53.480 --> 00:20:57.359 him wrestle as well. Both excellent in ring. Grayson Waller 382 00:20:57.400 --> 00:20:59.759 was pretty solid as well. I think they worked really 383 00:20:59.799 --> 00:21:04.200 well together in this match, and after the match, I 384 00:21:04.240 --> 00:21:06.519 am an NFL fan despite being from Australia, so I 385 00:21:06.559 --> 00:21:08.519 do know who George Kittle is. Tight end for the 386 00:21:08.559 --> 00:21:12.119 forty nine ers and a massive WW fan and a 387 00:21:12.160 --> 00:21:16.079 good funny bloke overall. I had him on Fantasy last 388 00:21:16.119 --> 00:21:18.119 year as well for those that had that, do play 389 00:21:18.240 --> 00:21:22.680 NFL Fantasy. But he gets into the ring celebrating with Penta. 390 00:21:22.759 --> 00:21:26.559 Obviously him and Austin Theory went back and forth during 391 00:21:26.559 --> 00:21:28.559 the match, but it would have been cool to see 392 00:21:28.599 --> 00:21:33.400 maybe George Kittle for former move on him. But nevertheless, 393 00:21:33.400 --> 00:21:36.240 he comes in and he celebrates with Penta in what 394 00:21:36.440 --> 00:21:39.200 was a good match. Definitely got me hyped up and 395 00:21:40.240 --> 00:21:43.079 the crowd obviously were hyped up there too. So for 396 00:21:43.119 --> 00:21:45.160 those that upset that Penter was on the main event, 397 00:21:46.039 --> 00:21:48.319 I disagree completely. I think he's going to be fine 398 00:21:48.400 --> 00:21:51.000 and it's great to see him on there, and especially 399 00:21:51.000 --> 00:21:51.759 for myself being. 400 00:21:51.640 --> 00:21:53.400 Able to review that as well. 401 00:21:54.759 --> 00:21:57.079
