WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.440 --> 00:00:04.000 WWE was in Providence, Rhode Island tonight. In fact, they 2 00:00:04.000 --> 00:00:07.719 were in the same venue that they hosted the nineteen 3 00:00:07.799 --> 00:00:11.359 ninety four Royal Rumble in where Brett Hart and Lexe 4 00:00:11.400 --> 00:00:13.800 Lugu went out over the top rope at the same time. 5 00:00:14.240 --> 00:00:18.199 Hot crowd too for most of the show, so shout 6 00:00:18.199 --> 00:00:20.120 out to Providence. We had a couple of people who 7 00:00:20.120 --> 00:00:21.800 were at the show tonight who said that it was 8 00:00:21.879 --> 00:00:24.039 loud and they were hoping it came across that way 9 00:00:24.039 --> 00:00:27.600 on TV. The answer is yes, yes it did. We 10 00:00:27.679 --> 00:00:31.199 had a hot main event Seth Rollins and Penta. Very 11 00:00:31.199 --> 00:00:33.079 cool to see Penta in the main event, even though 12 00:00:33.119 --> 00:00:37.600 he did lose, but he was super over and the 13 00:00:37.640 --> 00:00:41.439 crowd was super into this main event. Here, Seth Rollins 14 00:00:41.479 --> 00:00:43.320 is the one with a match of course coming up 15 00:00:43.320 --> 00:00:46.159 as Saturday Night's made event. Pente is not, so no 16 00:00:46.240 --> 00:00:48.759 big surprise there, but this was part of a show 17 00:00:48.799 --> 00:00:52.799 long story that they were telling with Seth's crew, which 18 00:00:52.840 --> 00:00:56.600 appears to have a name now possibly it's not official, 19 00:00:57.799 --> 00:01:00.359 but it looks like they may actually have an name. 20 00:01:01.159 --> 00:01:04.519 But they went three for three in matches tonight. Here 21 00:01:04.640 --> 00:01:07.719 on this show we had Seth Rollins beating Penta. We 22 00:01:07.760 --> 00:01:12.200 had Bronson Reid against jay Usso, which technically wasn't a 23 00:01:12.239 --> 00:01:14.319 win for Bronson Reed. Wait until I get to that 24 00:01:15.519 --> 00:01:19.359 and how they classified that. But the job was to 25 00:01:19.439 --> 00:01:23.079 take out the competition, and that's exactly what Bronson Reid 26 00:01:23.120 --> 00:01:26.200 did to jay Uso and that's what Bron Breaker did 27 00:01:26.239 --> 00:01:28.599 to Sammy's A. So they went three for three here 28 00:01:28.640 --> 00:01:30.879 on the show tonight, and I like that story. 29 00:01:30.879 --> 00:01:31.079 Again. 30 00:01:31.120 --> 00:01:33.760 They're trying to establish dominance here with this new group, 31 00:01:33.879 --> 00:01:37.439 and we got to see bron and Bronson. Ron and 32 00:01:37.439 --> 00:01:41.400 Bronson show off a little more personality on the show 33 00:01:41.400 --> 00:01:43.799 and actually speak up for themselves instead of just being 34 00:01:43.799 --> 00:01:46.799 background players like secret service agents. They got to actually 35 00:01:46.879 --> 00:01:51.959 speak for a change. Goldberg and Gunther that is the 36 00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:55.400 World Heavyweight Championship match that is coming up on Saturday 37 00:01:55.480 --> 00:01:58.799 night in Atlanta. We have not had Goldberg physically on 38 00:01:58.920 --> 00:02:02.159 the show, but for that first appearance he made several 39 00:02:02.200 --> 00:02:04.200 weeks ago, right, he did a sit down interview with 40 00:02:04.239 --> 00:02:07.239 Michael Cole. We've got a video package with that. Three 41 00:02:07.319 --> 00:02:11.360 days Gray Song Dominance. He was back in the flesh 42 00:02:11.400 --> 00:02:15.199 on the show tonight for one final very brief face 43 00:02:15.240 --> 00:02:20.800 to face confrontation with the world champion and quite possibly 44 00:02:21.520 --> 00:02:24.759 his final ever appearance on Raw, because unless he comes 45 00:02:24.800 --> 00:02:28.080 out next Monday to wave goodbye and officially announced that 46 00:02:28.159 --> 00:02:30.680 he is going to ride off into the sunset, this 47 00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:33.560 is it. You know. Saturday is supposed to be his 48 00:02:33.599 --> 00:02:36.000 final match, and that'll be the end as far as 49 00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:39.360 Goldberg goes, So quite possibly his last ever appearance here 50 00:02:39.400 --> 00:02:42.639 on Monday Night Raw. But also tonight we had the 51 00:02:42.680 --> 00:02:47.080 final bit of hype and promotion for the Evolution Show 52 00:02:47.120 --> 00:02:49.759 on Sunday. At least on Raw, we still have SmackDown. 53 00:02:50.560 --> 00:02:52.719 I won't be here on Friday, but SmackDown is still 54 00:02:52.719 --> 00:02:56.000 going to be taking place on Friday. Not much to 55 00:02:56.039 --> 00:02:59.439 speak of as far as hype for this Evolution show, 56 00:02:59.439 --> 00:03:01.639 which is coming up this weekend. This show feels like 57 00:03:01.759 --> 00:03:05.719 such an afterthought. I cannot imagine they bring it back 58 00:03:05.759 --> 00:03:08.840 again next year, unless it is just to fuck with 59 00:03:08.919 --> 00:03:12.680 aw again on the weekend that they host a big show. 60 00:03:14.000 --> 00:03:16.400 I just can't imagine it. And I got into a 61 00:03:16.439 --> 00:03:18.639 lot of the reasons why it feels this way, you know, 62 00:03:18.680 --> 00:03:21.879 on the sound off this weekend, and just just a 63 00:03:21.960 --> 00:03:24.240 lack of respect I think that they have shown for 64 00:03:24.319 --> 00:03:29.120 the women's roster overall, all the women, Raw SmackDown n XT. 65 00:03:29.240 --> 00:03:30.960 Anybody who's going to be involved in that show on 66 00:03:31.039 --> 00:03:34.439 Sunday and will have the finger pointed at them if 67 00:03:34.439 --> 00:03:36.800 this show does not perform well. And that's to say 68 00:03:36.879 --> 00:03:39.039 nothing of the quality of the matches. We're talking about 69 00:03:39.080 --> 00:03:43.280 how the show actually does business wise, it's just a 70 00:03:43.280 --> 00:03:45.919 slap in the face. And look, they're struggling to sell tickets. 71 00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:49.000 They're running Saturday nights made event in the same building 72 00:03:49.159 --> 00:03:52.199 the night before and they've got about eleven thousand plus 73 00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:55.800 whatever the number is up to now, mostly focused on 74 00:03:56.159 --> 00:03:59.000 Bill Goldberg and this being his retirement match, the World 75 00:03:59.039 --> 00:04:02.680 Heavyweight Championship being on the line, so they're not having 76 00:04:02.680 --> 00:04:06.639 any issues, you know, and obviously Atlanta is his adopted home. 77 00:04:07.599 --> 00:04:10.120 He wasn't born there, but you know, he played for 78 00:04:10.159 --> 00:04:12.800 the Falcons and he was big in WCW, which was 79 00:04:12.840 --> 00:04:16.079 based out of that whole region, so he's got a 80 00:04:16.079 --> 00:04:18.439 big name down there. It's understandable that they would do well. 81 00:04:18.959 --> 00:04:21.439 They're not doing as well on Sunday. Last night checked 82 00:04:21.480 --> 00:04:24.639 it was maybe five thousand, not even tickets sold in 83 00:04:24.680 --> 00:04:27.639 the same building. And it's not a shock when you 84 00:04:27.680 --> 00:04:29.439 look at the way that this show has been promoted, 85 00:04:29.439 --> 00:04:31.519 but also the fact that, frankly, what it really boils 86 00:04:31.560 --> 00:04:34.360 down to at the end of the day, okay, is 87 00:04:34.399 --> 00:04:37.680 the fact that they are running three shows in Atlanta. 88 00:04:37.720 --> 00:04:41.160 They are running three shows in the market in the 89 00:04:41.240 --> 00:04:44.759 same weekend. Because don't forget, they have that NXT show 90 00:04:44.800 --> 00:04:48.720 on Saturday afternoon at Center Stage, which I think has 91 00:04:48.759 --> 00:04:51.319 a capacity for the show maybe of seven hundred people. 92 00:04:52.120 --> 00:04:56.240 But they're running Atlanta all weekend long. It's just NonStop shows. 93 00:04:56.360 --> 00:04:58.759 And look, there's a reason why they had to cancel 94 00:04:58.839 --> 00:05:01.160 that NXT show back in May when they ran that 95 00:05:01.199 --> 00:05:03.480 whole Tampa weekend. Remember they were going to do I 96 00:05:03.480 --> 00:05:06.279 think four nights in a row in the same market, 97 00:05:06.279 --> 00:05:08.040 and they had to cancel the NXT show had like 98 00:05:08.079 --> 00:05:10.079 seventeen hundred tickets sold. They're like, we're not going to 99 00:05:10.160 --> 00:05:11.879 run a big building like this and have less than 100 00:05:11.920 --> 00:05:13.920 two thousand people. We'll just move it to the PC. 101 00:05:15.040 --> 00:05:18.879 It's overkill. This is what they've been doing. It's overkill, 102 00:05:19.639 --> 00:05:21.879 and unfortunately the women are going to be the victims 103 00:05:21.879 --> 00:05:24.879 of that. I think comes Sunday. But we had the 104 00:05:24.920 --> 00:05:27.879 final bit of height for Rho, Ripley and EO Sky, 105 00:05:28.360 --> 00:05:31.079 neither of whom were on the show tonight, So we 106 00:05:31.079 --> 00:05:33.399 didn't get any sort of face to face. We didn't 107 00:05:33.399 --> 00:05:35.920 get a contract signing, we didn't get to sit down interview, 108 00:05:36.000 --> 00:05:39.480 we didn't nothing like that. They kept it to a 109 00:05:39.560 --> 00:05:43.800 video package which had Rio Ripley's voice which he was 110 00:05:43.839 --> 00:05:46.959 being interviewed for it, and that was it. So we 111 00:05:47.000 --> 00:05:50.240 didn't see either of them physically on the show tonight. 112 00:05:50.240 --> 00:05:52.879 But that should be the main event on Sunday for 113 00:05:52.920 --> 00:05:57.399 the Women's World Championship, whether wins the title or not, 114 00:05:57.600 --> 00:05:59.600 those two are going to go out there and they're 115 00:05:59.600 --> 00:06:02.360 going to kill it. And I think it's important to 116 00:06:02.439 --> 00:06:06.160 make that distinction here that no matter how I feel 117 00:06:06.480 --> 00:06:11.040 or anybody else feels about the hype for the show 118 00:06:11.120 --> 00:06:14.040 and the effort or lack thereof that has gone into 119 00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:17.839 it and putting this card together and promoting it, it's 120 00:06:17.879 --> 00:06:20.600 not a reflection on what the quality of that main 121 00:06:20.600 --> 00:06:24.040 event is going to be. You've got Rhea Ripley, You've 122 00:06:24.040 --> 00:06:27.000 got EO Sky, two of the best that they have. 123 00:06:27.839 --> 00:06:31.439 EO Sky. I would argue Bell to Bell top one 124 00:06:31.519 --> 00:06:36.759 or two performers in the entire company, male or female. 125 00:06:37.000 --> 00:06:39.040 You put them in the ring together on Sunday, would 126 00:06:39.079 --> 00:06:41.720 be impossible for them to go out there and have 127 00:06:41.800 --> 00:06:43.399 a bed match. You saw what they did in the 128 00:06:43.439 --> 00:06:46.959 ring with Bianca bell Air at WrestleMania. I'm very much 129 00:06:47.079 --> 00:06:49.439 looking forward to the match. It will be excellent. I 130 00:06:49.480 --> 00:06:54.199 would expect nothing less from them. They deserve better, as 131 00:06:54.279 --> 00:06:56.720 do all of the other women on that show. Because 132 00:06:57.079 --> 00:06:59.920 if it feels like an afterthought, it's because that's based 133 00:06:59.920 --> 00:07:02.079 on how it's been treated. So they did what they 134 00:07:02.079 --> 00:07:06.759 could tonight. But as far as that final bit of height, 135 00:07:06.920 --> 00:07:09.879 you know, for Evolution, the focus was really also on 136 00:07:09.920 --> 00:07:12.839 Saturday night's main event, which is the night before they 137 00:07:12.839 --> 00:07:16.360 have another show to promote, So you're you're splitting the 138 00:07:16.399 --> 00:07:19.120 attention here because you've got these two shows to promote 139 00:07:19.160 --> 00:07:22.680 in the same weekend, and so Evolution basically gets the 140 00:07:22.680 --> 00:07:25.720 short end of the stick. We'll talk about this Raw show, 141 00:07:25.720 --> 00:07:28.040 which I thought was a good show tonight, definitely an 142 00:07:28.040 --> 00:07:32.399 improvement over that show that we saw on Friday. This 143 00:07:32.560 --> 00:07:35.279 is your Raw on Netflix review. I am the Solemn Monster. 144 00:07:35.360 --> 00:07:39.240 It is Monday, July seventh, twenty twenty five. Thank you 145 00:07:39.319 --> 00:07:41.519 very much for joining me here on a Monday night, 146 00:07:41.759 --> 00:07:45.439 like and subscribe. I would appreciate that very much. Super 147 00:07:45.560 --> 00:07:50.000 chats are open. We have a goal in the chat. 148 00:07:50.199 --> 00:07:52.480 We may take some phone calls later. It's been a 149 00:07:52.480 --> 00:07:54.839 while since we've done that. But if we hit the goal, 150 00:07:55.800 --> 00:07:58.040 we may not, but it's up there in the chat 151 00:07:58.079 --> 00:08:00.519 if that's something that you're interested in, So those super 152 00:08:00.600 --> 00:08:03.199 chats on in and I will be reading your messages 153 00:08:03.240 --> 00:08:05.439 later on here in the stream, as I always do. 154 00:08:07.040 --> 00:08:10.480 So let's get into the beginning of this show. Because 155 00:08:10.519 --> 00:08:14.040 we had Michael Cole and Corey Graves. They were back 156 00:08:14.079 --> 00:08:17.079 together as a team again. Pat McAfee is burned out, 157 00:08:17.920 --> 00:08:20.040 so we did not have Pat McAfee on the show tonight. 158 00:08:20.079 --> 00:08:22.399 No mention of Pat McAfee, no sign that Pat McAfee 159 00:08:22.480 --> 00:08:25.800 is on his way back anytime soon. So Cole and 160 00:08:25.879 --> 00:08:29.720 Graves together as an announced duo is fine with me. 161 00:08:29.920 --> 00:08:35.840 They opened the show with the Empire. That appears to 162 00:08:35.840 --> 00:08:40.159 be the name that Paul Hayman was using for this 163 00:08:40.279 --> 00:08:44.919 group more than once in this opening promo. So I 164 00:08:45.000 --> 00:08:47.200 just need to preface this by saying that we don't 165 00:08:47.200 --> 00:08:50.080 know for sure that that is going to be the 166 00:08:50.159 --> 00:08:52.879 name of the group, but it sounds like it probably is. 167 00:08:53.679 --> 00:08:56.639 And honestly, I don't hate it. If that's the name, 168 00:08:57.600 --> 00:09:01.039 I think that's a fine name. Keep it simple. Right 169 00:09:02.840 --> 00:09:04.759 of all the possibilities of what it could have been, 170 00:09:04.799 --> 00:09:07.720 it could be so much worse. So I like the Empire. 171 00:09:08.080 --> 00:09:10.480 We had Rollins, we had Hayman, we had bron Breaker, 172 00:09:10.720 --> 00:09:14.440 and we had Bronson Reid with the fans serenading Rollins 173 00:09:14.519 --> 00:09:16.240 as he made his way out, who was supposed to 174 00:09:16.240 --> 00:09:19.480 be the top heel. They continued to sing his song 175 00:09:20.039 --> 00:09:24.080 every single week. Rollins held out his hand for the microphone. 176 00:09:24.240 --> 00:09:28.080 So bron Breaker swipes the microphone out of Hayman's hand, 177 00:09:28.159 --> 00:09:31.759 and Haymon looks worried, and Rollins is not happy about 178 00:09:31.759 --> 00:09:34.320 this because he was about to speak, and I'm like, 179 00:09:34.519 --> 00:09:37.919 thank you, Bron, So he takes the mic and he 180 00:09:38.000 --> 00:09:40.559 said that he was with Rollins and Hayman because they 181 00:09:40.559 --> 00:09:44.480 have a vision of him being the face of WWE 182 00:09:44.720 --> 00:09:48.639 for the next two decades. He has his own vision 183 00:09:48.840 --> 00:09:52.919 of a WWE without Sammy Zaine. Breaker said that he 184 00:09:52.919 --> 00:09:55.240 doesn't like Zaane's face, he doesn't like his beard, he 185 00:09:55.240 --> 00:09:58.120 doesn't like his music. He doesn't understand why people like him. 186 00:09:58.200 --> 00:10:00.480 He doesn't get it. He doesn't understand why the fans 187 00:10:00.480 --> 00:10:04.399 are into Sammy's a. He said, Zayin has an expiration 188 00:10:04.559 --> 00:10:07.120 date and he would put a stamp on it tonight. 189 00:10:07.399 --> 00:10:10.480 Breaker promised Zayn that he would maul his head off 190 00:10:11.039 --> 00:10:14.200 and Zaine would end up looking at the lights. So 191 00:10:14.360 --> 00:10:17.600 Rollins got the mic finally and he asked, Breaker, are 192 00:10:17.639 --> 00:10:21.440 we good? Are you good? Rollins then noticed that Bronson 193 00:10:21.519 --> 00:10:25.120 Reid was itching to say a few words, and so 194 00:10:25.240 --> 00:10:27.679 he handed the microphone over to Bronson Reid, who said 195 00:10:27.679 --> 00:10:30.960 that Breaker was a tough act to follow, but so 196 00:10:31.200 --> 00:10:35.200 was he. He said that he hit Rollins with six tsunamis, 197 00:10:35.639 --> 00:10:38.000 which built a respect between the two of them and 198 00:10:38.120 --> 00:10:40.639 is why Seth recruited him into the group in the 199 00:10:40.639 --> 00:10:44.120 first place. Reid said that jay Usso didn't respect him, 200 00:10:44.120 --> 00:10:46.639 but that would change tonight because he would tsunami the 201 00:10:46.759 --> 00:10:49.919 respect into jay us So, just like he did with 202 00:10:49.960 --> 00:10:54.519 Seth Rollins. So Rollins grabbed the microphone, but he refused 203 00:10:54.519 --> 00:10:58.440 to speak because the fans were busy chanting for Cmpunk, 204 00:10:58.480 --> 00:11:00.679 who was not on the show, so he gave the 205 00:11:00.679 --> 00:11:04.000 microphone to Paul Hayman. He goes here you talk. Hayman 206 00:11:04.080 --> 00:11:08.799 said that the Empire would strike tonight, strike first. He 207 00:11:08.799 --> 00:11:11.080 did mention, like the Empire strikes back, he goes tonight, 208 00:11:11.120 --> 00:11:15.200 it's the Empire strikes first, he said, Roman Reins didn't 209 00:11:15.200 --> 00:11:20.759 have the balls to come back and step up against them. Hint, hint, hint, 210 00:11:21.440 --> 00:11:24.919 it's a little hint. This is also the big news 211 00:11:24.919 --> 00:11:27.799 that Seth Rollins will be donning the tights tonight against Penta. 212 00:11:28.200 --> 00:11:32.320 Hayman mocked Penta's stupid hand signals and said that Rollins 213 00:11:32.320 --> 00:11:34.639 would leave him unable to do them ever again because 214 00:11:34.679 --> 00:11:39.080 he would be stomped so hard. Later on tonight, Hayman 215 00:11:39.120 --> 00:11:42.519 also spoke in Spanish to Penta and this blue Seth 216 00:11:42.639 --> 00:11:45.759 Rollins mind. Rollins leaned in over to where Bronson Reid 217 00:11:45.879 --> 00:11:49.720 was standing and you could hear him. I asked him, like, 218 00:11:50.279 --> 00:11:53.159 when did this fucking guy learn Spanish? I was wondering 219 00:11:53.200 --> 00:11:56.240 the same thing myself. When it finally came time for 220 00:11:56.360 --> 00:12:00.240 Rollins to speak, all he did was welcome everybody to 221 00:12:00.360 --> 00:12:04.240 Monday Night Raw. And that concluded the segment. That was 222 00:12:04.279 --> 00:12:08.120 the best Seth Rollins promo that I have ever heard. 223 00:12:08.639 --> 00:12:12.639 So that's good. That's number one. We finally got to 224 00:12:12.679 --> 00:12:15.320 hear from bron Breaker. We finally got to hear from 225 00:12:15.320 --> 00:12:18.639 Bronson read in a segment like this at length, you know, 226 00:12:18.720 --> 00:12:21.639 more than just a few words. This is something I've 227 00:12:21.679 --> 00:12:24.080 been waiting for. Hopefully we get more of this as 228 00:12:24.120 --> 00:12:26.799 time goes on, because they've just been background noise the 229 00:12:26.840 --> 00:12:29.720 last few months, and you're only going to develop your 230 00:12:29.799 --> 00:12:33.159 characters so much if you're not speaking. I understand bron 231 00:12:33.200 --> 00:12:35.080 Breaker is the badass of the group. All he has 232 00:12:35.120 --> 00:12:38.200 to do is go out there and just spear people embark. 233 00:12:38.799 --> 00:12:40.679 But it was nice. It was nice to finally hear 234 00:12:40.720 --> 00:12:43.960 from them. It would be nice, though, I will say, 235 00:12:44.039 --> 00:12:46.720 it would be nice if they cared that they being 236 00:12:47.200 --> 00:12:49.840 Triple H and WWE, if they cared more about making 237 00:12:49.840 --> 00:12:54.519 these guys actual heels rather than the cool heels who 238 00:12:54.600 --> 00:12:56.960 you know, they come out to Rollin's music and everybody 239 00:12:56.960 --> 00:12:59.799 sings his music, and they Rollin's and Hayman are out 240 00:12:59.799 --> 00:13:03.360 there doing their catchphrases. I mean, look, let the people 241 00:13:03.440 --> 00:13:06.120 bark for bron Breaker because they're going to do it anyway, 242 00:13:06.159 --> 00:13:09.080 because he's a badass and to them he's cool and 243 00:13:09.279 --> 00:13:12.919 it's what's going to turn him babyface eventually anyway. But 244 00:13:13.200 --> 00:13:15.600 as far as the rest of this crew, it doesn't 245 00:13:15.600 --> 00:13:18.240 look like they're gonna change Rollin's music and mean, hey, 246 00:13:18.279 --> 00:13:21.039 why would they write. They like the visual, they like 247 00:13:21.519 --> 00:13:23.639 the whole scene of them singing his song. It's just 248 00:13:23.759 --> 00:13:26.480 weird though, when he's taking out each of the top 249 00:13:26.519 --> 00:13:31.559 babyfaces one by one, that these people are singing this 250 00:13:31.600 --> 00:13:35.159 guy's song on his way to the ring, right, It's 251 00:13:35.200 --> 00:13:40.240 just weird. But otherwise, like I said, Rollins one of 252 00:13:40.240 --> 00:13:44.679 his better promos. So we go inside the Judgment Day clubhouse, 253 00:13:44.720 --> 00:13:47.720 Finn Balor was admiring all of their goal had them 254 00:13:47.720 --> 00:13:51.799 all sitting on a table the Intercontinental title, both sets 255 00:13:51.840 --> 00:13:56.840 of tag team titles, and JD McDonough and Dominic were 256 00:13:56.840 --> 00:14:01.399 busy playing darts. Racal Rodriguez was bothered by a memorial 257 00:14:01.440 --> 00:14:05.600 photo of Live Morgan surrounded by candles that was set 258 00:14:05.679 --> 00:14:09.720 up by Roxane Perez, and Raquel told her she's not dead. 259 00:14:11.000 --> 00:14:13.559 In fact, she's been rehabbing every single day and she'll 260 00:14:13.600 --> 00:14:17.759 be back pretty soon, and Finn Balor said, look, I 261 00:14:17.759 --> 00:14:20.519 wouldn't be so sure. It took me eight months to 262 00:14:20.600 --> 00:14:25.080 come back from my shoulder injury. So Dominic then acknowledged 263 00:14:25.120 --> 00:14:28.480 there was a cake sitting on a table, and he 264 00:14:28.519 --> 00:14:32.279 acknowledged this get well cake and thanked Balor and McDonough 265 00:14:32.360 --> 00:14:34.000 for it, and both of them looked at each other 266 00:14:34.000 --> 00:14:35.720 and they said, we don't know anything about it. We 267 00:14:35.759 --> 00:14:39.519 didn't we didn't buy it. So dom then read the 268 00:14:39.519 --> 00:14:42.879 get Well soon. There was a message on the cake, 269 00:14:43.600 --> 00:14:46.600 get well soon, and it was signed aj So that 270 00:14:46.720 --> 00:14:48.440 was a little weird that the cake was sitting there 271 00:14:48.480 --> 00:14:50.679 the entire time. Apparently he never bothered to look at 272 00:14:50.679 --> 00:14:53.600 what it actually said on the cake, so he finally 273 00:14:53.639 --> 00:14:58.120 noticed that. Then he looks over and aj Styles peeks 274 00:14:58.200 --> 00:15:01.080 his head out from behind the curtain. Everybody else has left. 275 00:15:01.080 --> 00:15:02.919 He peaks his head out from behind the curtain. He 276 00:15:02.960 --> 00:15:05.320 goes like this, He doesn't what was that to meet 277 00:15:05.320 --> 00:15:09.360 the parents? Right, He's keeping an eye on Dominic Mysterio, 278 00:15:09.440 --> 00:15:13.200 who then grabs his doctor's note and starts waving it around. 279 00:15:13.240 --> 00:15:15.879 But by the time he turns around to show Ajj's gone, 280 00:15:16.519 --> 00:15:18.759 so he's still throwing around that doctor's note. We still 281 00:15:18.759 --> 00:15:20.559 have to get that title match. I thought maybe they 282 00:15:20.559 --> 00:15:24.000 would announce it for Saturday Nights main event. Shockingly, we 283 00:15:24.080 --> 00:15:27.399 still only have three matches on that show. I mean, 284 00:15:27.440 --> 00:15:29.879 I still feel like they have to add one more 285 00:15:29.919 --> 00:15:35.600 on Friday. It's a night before, but three matches. Every 286 00:15:35.639 --> 00:15:37.679 Saturday Nights main event they've done so far has had 287 00:15:37.679 --> 00:15:40.519 at least four, some of them have had five. If 288 00:15:40.559 --> 00:15:43.360 we end up with three, I mean, how long is 289 00:15:43.399 --> 00:15:46.679 this fucking Goldberg match gonna go? It's a Goldberg match 290 00:15:46.720 --> 00:15:50.080 in the main event. I'm surprised they don't have six 291 00:15:50.159 --> 00:15:53.200 matches on this show. I mean, I know they don't 292 00:15:53.240 --> 00:15:55.679 have any women's matches. They're saving them all for Evolution, 293 00:15:55.799 --> 00:15:59.000 But my god, you've got three matches, one of which 294 00:15:59.039 --> 00:16:03.840 is a Bill gold Berg match, cash in or no 295 00:16:04.080 --> 00:16:07.120 cash in after that match? How long could it possibly go? 296 00:16:09.159 --> 00:16:11.559 They still have to add one more match to this show. 297 00:16:13.799 --> 00:16:18.360 We had Roxanne Perez one on one. Yeah, well, you 298 00:16:18.399 --> 00:16:20.799 know what, our dge makes a very good point. You 299 00:16:20.879 --> 00:16:25.399 make a very good point. How three matches and how 300 00:16:25.440 --> 00:16:30.080 many commercials? That's true? That is true with all the 301 00:16:30.120 --> 00:16:32.240 commercials that'll take up the rest of the show. You're right. 302 00:16:34.159 --> 00:16:37.799 We had Roxanne Perez one on one with Kyrie Sane. 303 00:16:37.879 --> 00:16:40.200 Kyrie went up top. A few minutes into this match, 304 00:16:40.360 --> 00:16:43.559 Raquel Rodriguez was outside the ring. She distracted her long 305 00:16:43.639 --> 00:16:47.559 enough for Roxanne to pull her down. Roxanne targeted Kyrie's 306 00:16:47.720 --> 00:16:52.600 previously injured wrist. That's the injury where she was out 307 00:16:52.600 --> 00:16:54.559 for many months. I believe she had surgery on it 308 00:16:55.399 --> 00:16:58.279 after a break. Kyrie avoided a charging Roxanne and then 309 00:16:58.320 --> 00:17:02.080 threw a kick that missed sadly enough that Corey Graves 310 00:17:02.080 --> 00:17:04.680 had a cover for it by saying she didn't get 311 00:17:04.720 --> 00:17:07.759 all of it. A little while later, Kyrie put Perez 312 00:17:07.799 --> 00:17:10.799 down with an Alabama slam. Kyrie went up top for 313 00:17:10.839 --> 00:17:14.079 her insane elbow, but Raquel pulled Perez out of the ring. 314 00:17:14.680 --> 00:17:19.039 Kyrie doe from the top robe onto Raquel. It's her punishment. 315 00:17:20.079 --> 00:17:22.279 Roxandough got Kyrie back in the ring and then set 316 00:17:22.319 --> 00:17:25.839 up for pop rocks. Kyrie, though avoided it, used the 317 00:17:25.880 --> 00:17:29.880 backslide to pick up the wind. Now after the match 318 00:17:29.920 --> 00:17:33.119 was over, the Heels attacked Kyrie. You knew exactly what 319 00:17:33.160 --> 00:17:35.720 this was leading to because we still had one team 320 00:17:36.799 --> 00:17:40.079 yet to be announced for this women's Fatal four way 321 00:17:40.119 --> 00:17:43.640 tag team title match on Sunday, and Kyrie saying is 322 00:17:43.640 --> 00:17:46.200 being beaten down in the ring. If only she had 323 00:17:46.200 --> 00:17:50.640 a friend, I wonder who it could be. When we 324 00:17:50.720 --> 00:17:54.680 heard Oscar's music, Osca comes as she's wearing a leather jacket. 325 00:17:55.039 --> 00:17:58.599 She comes running down to the ring and makes the save. 326 00:17:59.319 --> 00:18:01.880 The two of them clear Raquel from the ring, and 327 00:18:02.000 --> 00:18:05.599 Oscar then held Roxanne in a scorpion death drop position 328 00:18:06.319 --> 00:18:08.559 while Kyrie went up top and came off with the 329 00:18:08.599 --> 00:18:12.079 Insane elbow. Now they had announced earlier just before this match, 330 00:18:12.119 --> 00:18:14.319 actually they put the graphic up and they made the 331 00:18:14.359 --> 00:18:18.640 announcement that on Sunday, Raquel and Roxanne will defend the 332 00:18:18.640 --> 00:18:23.599 women's tag team titles against Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss 333 00:18:23.759 --> 00:18:29.920 who qualified on SmackDown Friday night, sol Ruka and Zaria 334 00:18:30.359 --> 00:18:34.400 representing NXT, and then there was one spot left open 335 00:18:34.519 --> 00:18:37.839 for a raw team. So, I mean, look, when this 336 00:18:37.880 --> 00:18:39.960 segment was over, you knew exactly who that team was 337 00:18:40.000 --> 00:18:41.640 going to be. Now they made it official a little 338 00:18:41.640 --> 00:18:45.079 while later in the back, Oscar and Kyrie went into 339 00:18:45.119 --> 00:18:48.599 Adam Pearce's office said that they wanted the judgment day 340 00:18:49.000 --> 00:18:51.039 and he made them the raw team in that match. 341 00:18:51.079 --> 00:18:56.279 So now all four teams have been announced for Sunday. 342 00:18:56.880 --> 00:18:59.720 I you know, Sol, Ruka and Zaria makes sense just 343 00:18:59.720 --> 00:19:03.839 because becuse, I mean, what other team outside of Fatal 344 00:19:03.960 --> 00:19:06.720 Influence would have really made sense in that spot, But 345 00:19:07.240 --> 00:19:10.440 the fact that they just announced them, like what did 346 00:19:10.440 --> 00:19:13.160 they do to earn the spot? Last time, sol Ruka 347 00:19:13.160 --> 00:19:15.880 and Zaria actually had a tag match together. They lost, 348 00:19:16.839 --> 00:19:18.720 so it was kind of weird how they just announced 349 00:19:18.720 --> 00:19:20.920 them after Charlotte and Alexa had to win a match 350 00:19:20.960 --> 00:19:23.720 on Friday to get into this thing. I don't know 351 00:19:23.759 --> 00:19:26.519 what the hell sol Ruka and Zaria did, but there 352 00:19:26.559 --> 00:19:29.839 he goes. We have all four teams now, and we 353 00:19:29.880 --> 00:19:33.240 are getting the Kabuki Warriors at least for one night. 354 00:19:33.279 --> 00:19:39.440 We are getting the Kabuki Warriors back together. Sammy's Ain't 355 00:19:39.799 --> 00:19:44.440 was interviewed backstage by Jackie Redmond. He had his ribs 356 00:19:44.519 --> 00:19:47.440 roll wrapped up again like he did previously. He said 357 00:19:47.440 --> 00:19:49.480 that he didn't care about the things that bron Breaker 358 00:19:49.559 --> 00:19:52.640 said about him earlier tonight, but he has to take 359 00:19:52.720 --> 00:19:55.240 him seriously because he's one of the most dangerous people 360 00:19:55.279 --> 00:19:58.440 on the planet. Sammy said that he would take care 361 00:19:58.480 --> 00:20:02.880 of carrying cross later and then he walked away. Scarlet 362 00:20:02.920 --> 00:20:06.400 then showed up. I was like, wow, Scarlett is going 363 00:20:06.480 --> 00:20:10.359 to actually cut a promo here, and Jackie asked her 364 00:20:11.440 --> 00:20:14.359 if she had anything to say, and she said no, 365 00:20:15.480 --> 00:20:19.359 and I said, well, so much for that. I thought 366 00:20:19.400 --> 00:20:21.559 she was about to cut an actual promo on this 367 00:20:21.680 --> 00:20:25.519 show for the first time. Do you have anything to say? 368 00:20:26.279 --> 00:20:26.440 No? 369 00:20:27.200 --> 00:20:32.240 But she didn't look very happy. We got a Nicki 370 00:20:32.279 --> 00:20:34.880 bellapre speaking of not being very happy, we got Nicki 371 00:20:34.920 --> 00:20:39.920 Bella promo. After this, liv Morgan's attack on her made 372 00:20:39.960 --> 00:20:43.359 her realize that she needs one more moment in the ring, 373 00:20:44.880 --> 00:20:49.240 so she is entering the Battle Royal at Evolution. She 374 00:20:49.359 --> 00:20:52.880 wants the title opportunity that goes to the winner to 375 00:20:52.920 --> 00:20:56.200 go to Clash in Paris and will prove to everyone 376 00:20:56.240 --> 00:21:01.759 that she is fearless. I guess my question would be, 377 00:21:02.039 --> 00:21:04.119 I believe the winner of the Battle Royal is to 378 00:21:04.200 --> 00:21:08.119 get a world championship match at Clash in Paris against 379 00:21:08.119 --> 00:21:12.400 the champion that represents their brand. What brand exactly does 380 00:21:12.480 --> 00:21:14.400 Nicky Bella belong to? I mean, I know she came 381 00:21:14.440 --> 00:21:18.279 back on RAW, I mean, are we to assume it's 382 00:21:18.319 --> 00:21:20.880 going to be the Women's World Time Like, she doesn't 383 00:21:20.920 --> 00:21:23.480 technically belong to a brand, So I'm just wondering that 384 00:21:23.519 --> 00:21:26.039 she gets to choose the champion that she gets to 385 00:21:26.079 --> 00:21:30.359 wrestle Hopefully we won't be having this conversation because hopefully 386 00:21:30.440 --> 00:21:32.880 Nicki Bella will not win the Battle Royal. If she 387 00:21:32.920 --> 00:21:36.039 wins the Battle Royal, then we got big problems of 388 00:21:36.119 --> 00:21:37.920 all the talent that will be in that Battle Royal. 389 00:21:38.039 --> 00:21:40.480 Nicki Bella should not be the one going to clash 390 00:21:40.480 --> 00:21:44.400 in Paris. But when liv got hurt, this was the 391 00:21:44.519 --> 00:21:46.119 likely spot that she was going to end up in. 392 00:21:46.200 --> 00:21:47.440 You knew she was going to be on the show 393 00:21:47.440 --> 00:21:51.480 in some way. She lost her match, so what else 394 00:21:51.480 --> 00:21:52.920 were you going to do with her other than just 395 00:21:53.119 --> 00:21:55.519 toss her into the Battle Royal. And I would expect 396 00:21:55.559 --> 00:21:57.440 that we get a few other faces in there as well, 397 00:21:57.480 --> 00:22:01.240 maybe Michelle McCool or I don't know, maybe a Molly 398 00:22:01.279 --> 00:22:04.000 Holly or someone like that. I mean, I wouldn't expect, 399 00:22:04.160 --> 00:22:07.359 you know, aj Lee or anything like that, but we should. 400 00:22:07.400 --> 00:22:09.240 We should get a few surprise faces and there. They 401 00:22:09.279 --> 00:22:12.279 haven't said how many people will be in the Battle Royal, 402 00:22:12.519 --> 00:22:17.319 but they did announce that Ava on NXT tomorrow is 403 00:22:17.359 --> 00:22:19.319 going to make an announcement I guess about the NXT 404 00:22:19.480 --> 00:22:21.480 talents that will be in the Battle Royal. So we 405 00:22:21.559 --> 00:22:26.079 will as of tomorrow night, we will know that at least. 406 00:22:27.200 --> 00:22:29.400 But again, as far as Nicki Bella goes, there's not 407 00:22:29.480 --> 00:22:32.240 much else to say other than her being in the 408 00:22:32.279 --> 00:22:34.359 Battle Royal. What else would you have done with her? 409 00:22:34.680 --> 00:22:37.319 Nicki Bella against Ivy Nile like is not going to 410 00:22:37.319 --> 00:22:40.480 sell a single extra ticket, you know, Nicki Bella and 411 00:22:40.519 --> 00:22:43.200 Live Morgan or the Bella's against the Judgment Day. That 412 00:22:43.319 --> 00:22:46.680 was that was the match, that was the attraction. They 413 00:22:46.759 --> 00:22:51.400 lost the attraction. So she's in the Battle Royal. Kofi 414 00:22:51.559 --> 00:22:55.519 Kingston and Xavier Woods, they came out during the commercial break. 415 00:22:55.559 --> 00:22:57.279 You may not have seen this, but they came out 416 00:22:57.359 --> 00:23:02.960 during the commercial break wearing black veils and carrying flowers 417 00:23:03.440 --> 00:23:07.480 to announce that the Tag Team Division is hereby dead 418 00:23:09.119 --> 00:23:12.079 after they had their tag team titles stolen from them 419 00:23:12.480 --> 00:23:17.720 last week by the Judgment Day. I've got news for 420 00:23:17.880 --> 00:23:21.279 Xavier Woods that Tag Team Division was dead long before 421 00:23:21.359 --> 00:23:25.079 last week. But that was it. That's really all they 422 00:23:25.079 --> 00:23:27.000 came out to announce. They did say that they would 423 00:23:27.039 --> 00:23:29.759 be going to Adam Pierce later in the back to 424 00:23:30.319 --> 00:23:35.640 request a rematch. Sammy's Ain was making his way out 425 00:23:35.920 --> 00:23:40.400 for his match against bron Breaker when Carrion Cross jumped 426 00:23:40.440 --> 00:23:45.519 him from behind to a big pop. Poor Sammy, the 427 00:23:45.680 --> 00:23:48.920 underdog baby face that everybody loves. Right, you want to 428 00:23:48.920 --> 00:23:51.160 see Sammy succeed. He gets jumped by this guy and 429 00:23:51.200 --> 00:23:56.799 people cheer. Scarlet hands Cross a giant pipe and he 430 00:23:56.960 --> 00:24:01.039 used it to batter Sammy across his injured ribs. Cross 431 00:24:01.039 --> 00:24:04.440 wound up to go use it again, but Adam Pierce 432 00:24:04.519 --> 00:24:07.880 came out along with other officials to stop him. Pierce 433 00:24:08.039 --> 00:24:12.400 grabbed the pipe out of Cross's hand and just chucked 434 00:24:12.440 --> 00:24:16.200 it over onto the stage like it was a fucking grenade. 435 00:24:16.440 --> 00:24:19.799 So he threw that thing away real quick. But we 436 00:24:19.880 --> 00:24:22.160 had chance of as they got him out of there, 437 00:24:22.200 --> 00:24:25.400 we had chants of we want Cross, we want Cross. 438 00:24:25.480 --> 00:24:27.839 As Sammy is laying there in the aisle, clutching his 439 00:24:28.000 --> 00:24:31.319 ribs in agony, trying to breathe trying to get that 440 00:24:31.400 --> 00:24:34.279 next breath out of his body. We want Cross, we 441 00:24:34.319 --> 00:24:38.119 want Cross. So apparently they weren't too bothered by this 442 00:24:38.839 --> 00:24:42.839 what happened to poor Sammy Now during the break, Sammy 443 00:24:42.880 --> 00:24:44.839 was helped to his feet and they started to bring 444 00:24:44.920 --> 00:24:48.200 him backstage, but he said I'm okay, and he started 445 00:24:48.240 --> 00:24:50.160 to make his way back down to the ring. Adam 446 00:24:50.160 --> 00:24:52.200 Pierce got in the ring with him and questioned if 447 00:24:52.200 --> 00:24:54.440 he really wanted to continue. This is where they came 448 00:24:54.480 --> 00:25:00.599 back live. Sammy insisted, I'm good. I'm gonna wrestle because 449 00:25:00.599 --> 00:25:03.759 I'm an idiot, I can go. And the trainer said, 450 00:25:03.799 --> 00:25:06.519 you know what, he's good. He cleared him, and Pierce said, well, okay, 451 00:25:06.519 --> 00:25:08.720 if the trainer says it's okay, then it's okay. So 452 00:25:08.839 --> 00:25:12.079 bron Breaker comes out on stage with Paul Hayman, and 453 00:25:12.240 --> 00:25:15.160 Hayman did not accompany him down to the ring. And 454 00:25:15.240 --> 00:25:17.039 Breaker is in the ring and he's got a big 455 00:25:17.119 --> 00:25:19.519 smile on his face because he's looking at this guy 456 00:25:20.400 --> 00:25:25.039 who's i mean, fifty percent at best. Right, ribs were 457 00:25:25.039 --> 00:25:27.359 all taped up, he's all fucked up after what we 458 00:25:27.519 --> 00:25:31.880 just saw. He's licking his chops. Breaker backs Sammy into 459 00:25:31.920 --> 00:25:35.279 the corner. He starts targeting the injured ribs. He rips 460 00:25:35.319 --> 00:25:39.440 off the tape around Sammy's ribs, drove both knees into them. 461 00:25:39.599 --> 00:25:42.039 Breaker lifts Sammy up and throws him across the ring 462 00:25:42.079 --> 00:25:44.880 with a souplex. Now he's setting up for a spear. 463 00:25:45.680 --> 00:25:48.680 Zay intercepted it with a clothesline, though that created some 464 00:25:48.799 --> 00:25:52.359 much needed separation. Sammy then headed up top for a 465 00:25:52.400 --> 00:25:55.839 flying nothing and got caught with a spear, a vicious 466 00:25:55.880 --> 00:25:58.480 spear on the way down. That was a great spot, 467 00:26:00.319 --> 00:26:03.000 So Sammy rolled out to the floor. Breaker saw red 468 00:26:03.079 --> 00:26:05.680 in his eyes and he headed outside. He did his 469 00:26:05.799 --> 00:26:07.880 run around the ring and he hit his super spear 470 00:26:08.200 --> 00:26:11.279 to Sammy's ain. And I'll give credit to Michael Cole 471 00:26:11.319 --> 00:26:16.720 and Corey Graves here. They were really kind of hyper 472 00:26:16.839 --> 00:26:20.359 selling the punishment that Sammy was taking. And we got 473 00:26:20.359 --> 00:26:22.480 to get somebody out here. This is ridiculous, you know, 474 00:26:22.519 --> 00:26:24.880 get pierced out here. Somebody's got to do something about this. 475 00:26:25.839 --> 00:26:29.519 Really pushing the fact that Sammy should not be out there. 476 00:26:29.640 --> 00:26:32.400 He could be very seriously injured. Somebody's got to put 477 00:26:32.440 --> 00:26:35.079 a stop to this. So Breaker rolled Sammy back in 478 00:26:35.119 --> 00:26:37.119 the ring. He pulled down the straps, he ran the 479 00:26:37.160 --> 00:26:39.079 ropes a few times, and he put an end to 480 00:26:39.119 --> 00:26:44.119 this with one last spear. This was more of an 481 00:26:44.160 --> 00:26:49.599 angle than an actual competitive match. This wasn't really meant 482 00:26:49.599 --> 00:26:52.240 to be that. We've seen Sammy's ain and bron Breaker 483 00:26:52.279 --> 00:26:55.680 have matches before. That's not really what this was intended 484 00:26:55.720 --> 00:26:58.799 to be. It was all about building bron Breaker, building 485 00:26:58.799 --> 00:27:01.640 bron Breaker up as a dangerous sob that you do 486 00:27:01.720 --> 00:27:04.839 not want to mess with, as you know, a monster. 487 00:27:05.839 --> 00:27:07.640 And I think it was effective. You know, it was 488 00:27:08.160 --> 00:27:12.480 effective for what this intended to do, and it was 489 00:27:12.559 --> 00:27:15.119 part of a show long story. Again, jay Uso was 490 00:27:15.119 --> 00:27:17.079 going to be up next. He was the next victim 491 00:27:17.119 --> 00:27:18.920 coming up. We had Penta yet to come. At the 492 00:27:18.960 --> 00:27:21.680 end of the show. Sammy Zaine was the first Domino 493 00:27:21.799 --> 00:27:24.039 to fall hearing this story that they were telling on 494 00:27:24.079 --> 00:27:28.839 this show. So as Adam Pearce was in the back 495 00:27:28.960 --> 00:27:31.640 chatting with the war Raiders, who we haven't seen in weeks. 496 00:27:32.240 --> 00:27:34.440 There they were having a conversation with the GM in 497 00:27:34.480 --> 00:27:37.039 the back, they were looking to get back into the 498 00:27:37.039 --> 00:27:40.440 tag title hunt. He was confronted by the New Day, 499 00:27:41.240 --> 00:27:44.880 still dressed in their black veils. They accused Pierce of 500 00:27:44.960 --> 00:27:47.759 helping kill the Tag Team Division by giving the judgment. 501 00:27:47.839 --> 00:27:51.880 They a shot at the titles as they were moaning 502 00:27:51.920 --> 00:27:58.519 and complaining. Becky Lynch walked past the scene, sympathized with 503 00:27:58.559 --> 00:28:01.400 the New Day for having to put up with Pierce's crap. 504 00:28:01.920 --> 00:28:05.440 She also said that getting rid of Biggie was excuse 505 00:28:05.440 --> 00:28:07.480 me getting rid of Biggie was a good idea. She 506 00:28:07.519 --> 00:28:11.680 hates that guy. I never liked that guy. And she 507 00:28:11.799 --> 00:28:14.440 proceeded to walk on her way to the ring because 508 00:28:14.440 --> 00:28:16.400 she was coming out next for a promo segment. So 509 00:28:16.440 --> 00:28:18.680 we go right into Becky Lynch. This was after the break. 510 00:28:18.799 --> 00:28:21.960 Becky the Intercontinental Champion who was defending her title in 511 00:28:22.039 --> 00:28:25.559 a triple threat match on Sunday it is now confirmed 512 00:28:25.599 --> 00:28:29.640 for Evolution. She was in the ring. She wanted an 513 00:28:29.680 --> 00:28:33.519 explanation on how two losers got a title match in 514 00:28:33.559 --> 00:28:36.799 a scenario where her chances of losing the Intercontinental title 515 00:28:36.839 --> 00:28:39.200 were far greater than it would be in a normal match. 516 00:28:40.000 --> 00:28:42.400 She said that she got why Adam Pierce put her 517 00:28:42.440 --> 00:28:44.359 in the match, but not why she had to face 518 00:28:44.440 --> 00:28:49.039 Bailey or Lyra Valkyrie again. She claimed that Bailey and 519 00:28:49.480 --> 00:28:52.559 Lyra were working together to get this shot, but before 520 00:28:52.599 --> 00:28:56.519 she could elaborate further, she was interrupted by Bailey and 521 00:28:56.680 --> 00:29:01.400 her horrible music. She starts making her way down to 522 00:29:01.440 --> 00:29:05.119 the ring, but she found herself quickly interrupted by Lyra Valkyria. 523 00:29:05.640 --> 00:29:08.039 Here comes bird Girl. She comes down the aisle. She 524 00:29:08.079 --> 00:29:11.039 blows right past Bailey on her way into the ring, 525 00:29:12.160 --> 00:29:14.759 and in the ring, Lyra said that her title was 526 00:29:14.799 --> 00:29:19.200 wrapped around a bucket full of crazy. It's the first 527 00:29:19.200 --> 00:29:23.880 time I've heard that expression. Hey, there's a bucket full 528 00:29:23.920 --> 00:29:29.720 of crazy on social media too, I see it every day. 529 00:29:30.240 --> 00:29:32.920 So anyway, her title was wrapped around a bucket full 530 00:29:32.960 --> 00:29:35.039 of crazy and it was about time to take it back. 531 00:29:35.519 --> 00:29:37.279 Bailey got into the ring as she said that she 532 00:29:37.319 --> 00:29:39.240 could have been the champion if it wasn't for Lyra 533 00:29:39.920 --> 00:29:43.720 and her intervention. Bailey said that if she learned anything 534 00:29:43.759 --> 00:29:47.559 from WrestleMania, it's that she didn't need friendships or heartbreak, 535 00:29:47.640 --> 00:29:52.559 but she didn't need the Intercontinental title. And Valkyria pointed out, 536 00:29:52.839 --> 00:29:55.480 what you just said that says it all. That comment 537 00:29:55.519 --> 00:30:00.160 that you just made that you prioritize championships over friendship. 538 00:30:00.599 --> 00:30:03.160 She said Bailey was just as bad as Becky because 539 00:30:03.240 --> 00:30:06.279 of what she just admitted, and she was out to 540 00:30:06.400 --> 00:30:12.440 rescue the Intercontinental title from two massive disappointments at Evolution, 541 00:30:13.119 --> 00:30:16.839 so Bailey was very bothered by this insult. She took 542 00:30:16.880 --> 00:30:22.160 this personally, and she said that seeing her raise Becky's hand, 543 00:30:22.240 --> 00:30:24.359 which is what happened at the end of their last match, 544 00:30:25.000 --> 00:30:29.079 made Bailey see her as a little bitch. So Valkyria 545 00:30:29.160 --> 00:30:31.319 went to go punch Bailey, but she ended up hitting 546 00:30:31.440 --> 00:30:35.920 Becky by accident. A brawl ensued. It ended with Valkyria 547 00:30:35.920 --> 00:30:38.200 and nailing both Becky and then Bailey with her night 548 00:30:38.240 --> 00:30:41.640 wing finish, Valkyria walked over to Becky, who was laying 549 00:30:41.640 --> 00:30:43.720 on the match. She sat her up, and then she 550 00:30:44.000 --> 00:30:48.279 mockingly grabbed Becky's arm and raised it and said that 551 00:30:48.319 --> 00:30:50.640 it would be the last time that her hand would 552 00:30:50.640 --> 00:30:54.160 be raised. One thing I do want to point out 553 00:30:54.599 --> 00:30:56.799 is the fact that Lyra, and I've said this before, 554 00:30:56.839 --> 00:30:59.079 but Lyra really has If you look at where she 555 00:30:59.160 --> 00:31:01.319 was at the beginning of this, like even before she 556 00:31:01.400 --> 00:31:05.200 won the title and some of the promos they started 557 00:31:05.240 --> 00:31:07.359 having her doing on TV, to where she is now, 558 00:31:07.400 --> 00:31:11.680 she definitely has made improvements on the microphone, She's more 559 00:31:11.759 --> 00:31:14.839 confident and more comfortable. I thought she did well here 560 00:31:15.839 --> 00:31:17.720 because the only way that you can get better is 561 00:31:18.200 --> 00:31:20.440 by practice. So she's had a lot of opportunities in 562 00:31:20.480 --> 00:31:23.400 this whole feud and programmed with Becky the last few 563 00:31:23.400 --> 00:31:28.359 months to really show off more of her personality, you know, 564 00:31:28.400 --> 00:31:31.359 in her speaking style and her promos, and I think 565 00:31:31.400 --> 00:31:33.799 she's done a good job on the whole with that. 566 00:31:34.440 --> 00:31:36.799 This segment was you know what it needed to be. 567 00:31:36.880 --> 00:31:39.240 You know, we had the back and forth insults, we 568 00:31:39.279 --> 00:31:41.359 had a little bit of physicality there at the end. 569 00:31:42.440 --> 00:31:44.920 What more could you really do? Now they'll have the 570 00:31:44.920 --> 00:31:47.680 Triple Threat match on Sunday, which, again, given the talent 571 00:31:47.799 --> 00:31:49.440 in the match, I would expect is going to be 572 00:31:49.440 --> 00:31:51.720 a very good match. I am not expecting a new 573 00:31:51.839 --> 00:31:54.599 champion to come out of this match, but I do 574 00:31:54.599 --> 00:31:57.599 think it should be a very good match. Now we 575 00:31:57.680 --> 00:32:01.519 go backstage into the again, I'm calling them the Empire 576 00:32:03.599 --> 00:32:05.880 until I'm told otherwise, I'm going to assume that this 577 00:32:05.960 --> 00:32:09.599 is their new name. We go back to their locker room. 578 00:32:09.960 --> 00:32:13.039 Bron Breaker looks upset and Rollins wants to know why, 579 00:32:13.960 --> 00:32:16.279 and bron asks Seth, you know what are we going 580 00:32:16.359 --> 00:32:19.880 to do about Carrying Cross because in his view, yeah, 581 00:32:19.880 --> 00:32:22.799 there are some people who may feel like the only 582 00:32:22.839 --> 00:32:25.839 reason he beat Sammy's Ain is because Carrion Cross did 583 00:32:25.839 --> 00:32:28.480 the dirty work first, right, came out and softened him up, 584 00:32:29.519 --> 00:32:32.559 and Rollins tried to assure him, Look, people are not 585 00:32:32.599 --> 00:32:35.759 going to give Carrying Cross credit for the hard work 586 00:32:35.799 --> 00:32:39.640 that you put in tonight. Paul Hammon shows up and 587 00:32:39.799 --> 00:32:44.480 he looks concerned because did you hear the news, and 588 00:32:44.519 --> 00:32:50.359 he goes, Sammy's ain is out of action indefinitely, and 589 00:32:50.400 --> 00:32:53.200 they all have a good laugh at his expense. Rollins 590 00:32:53.240 --> 00:32:57.000 asked Reid, why are you laughing? Goes, looks to me 591 00:32:57.160 --> 00:33:00.680 like Jay Uso as of this moment is in good shape, 592 00:33:01.720 --> 00:33:04.079 and Reid said that Uso wouldn't be when he was 593 00:33:04.119 --> 00:33:06.279 done with him, and that led into the next match, 594 00:33:06.279 --> 00:33:08.680 which was Bronson Reid one on one against jay Uso. 595 00:33:10.519 --> 00:33:14.000 Uso dodged a sent on from Reid, kept up the 596 00:33:14.039 --> 00:33:17.279 attack with some punches and a kick that sent Read outside. 597 00:33:17.799 --> 00:33:20.119 Jay hit a suicide dive that sent Read over the 598 00:33:20.119 --> 00:33:23.359 announced desk, and then there was a superkick that sent 599 00:33:23.440 --> 00:33:26.519 Read backwards in such a way that he was now 600 00:33:26.720 --> 00:33:30.559 seated in a chair. He was seated in one of 601 00:33:30.559 --> 00:33:34.839 those big announcer chairs, the office chairs, long enough for 602 00:33:35.039 --> 00:33:38.680 another superkick to rock him backwards and he fell backwards 603 00:33:38.839 --> 00:33:41.200 over the chair and out of the chair. So Uso 604 00:33:41.319 --> 00:33:43.200 got back in the ring and he was looking for 605 00:33:43.279 --> 00:33:47.119 another suicide dive. And the way they shot this was 606 00:33:47.119 --> 00:33:50.079 was great. You see Jay Uso the cameras focused on 607 00:33:50.200 --> 00:33:52.480 him he's hits its ropes right, he's coming off the ropes, 608 00:33:52.519 --> 00:33:56.200 He's gonna fly through the ropes, and he is stopped 609 00:33:56.200 --> 00:34:00.160 in his tracks because Bronson Reid yeading. You talk about yeading. 610 00:34:00.640 --> 00:34:04.160 He yieeded this fucking chair, this office chair, right at 611 00:34:04.279 --> 00:34:08.519 Jay Usso's head, and the referee calls for the bell 612 00:34:08.960 --> 00:34:14.480 for what you would assume is a disqualification. This man 613 00:34:14.760 --> 00:34:18.280 just yeaded a chair at another man's head and the 614 00:34:18.320 --> 00:34:21.599 referee called for the bell. What else would it be 615 00:34:22.440 --> 00:34:26.039 other than a disqualification and a win for Jay Usso? 616 00:34:26.920 --> 00:34:30.880 You would be wrong. They called this a no contest 617 00:34:31.800 --> 00:34:33.880 because later in the show, and they do this thing 618 00:34:33.920 --> 00:34:36.199 now where they have like a ticker that they'll show 619 00:34:36.280 --> 00:34:38.920 on the bottom of the screen with like the news 620 00:34:38.920 --> 00:34:41.239 of the night for the results of the show so far. 621 00:34:42.800 --> 00:34:45.800 And I'm watching this and they showed Jay Usso and 622 00:34:45.880 --> 00:34:49.719 Bronson Reid went to a no contest in their match. 623 00:34:49.719 --> 00:34:53.679 And I'm sitting here and I'm saying, a no contest. 624 00:34:54.400 --> 00:34:59.960 This man threw a fucking office chair at this man's head. 625 00:35:00.159 --> 00:35:05.280 Did a no contest? Like I would love to know 626 00:35:06.000 --> 00:35:11.760 in modern day WWE, what would constitute a disqualification, Like 627 00:35:11.920 --> 00:35:15.400 what do you have to do to get yourself disqualified? 628 00:35:15.719 --> 00:35:20.039 If Bronton Reid shot Jay Usso in the face, would 629 00:35:20.079 --> 00:35:22.119 it be a no contest? 630 00:35:22.400 --> 00:35:22.519 Like? 631 00:35:22.639 --> 00:35:26.519 Where's the line here? When I saw that on the screen, 632 00:35:26.599 --> 00:35:28.199 I said, you gotta be you gotta be shitting me, 633 00:35:28.960 --> 00:35:32.119 you gotta be shitting me. So yes, evidently this was 634 00:35:32.159 --> 00:35:36.079 not a disqualification. How how that's the case, I don't know. 635 00:35:37.440 --> 00:35:41.920 I just don't know. But anyway, holy shit, Uh this 636 00:35:42.000 --> 00:35:44.679 spot here, This wasn't quite as great as that one 637 00:35:44.760 --> 00:35:47.960 time that braun Strowman yeaded the office chair into Roman 638 00:35:48.039 --> 00:35:51.760 Reins his head, But it's still a great spot. I 639 00:35:51.800 --> 00:35:54.559 love when they do that spot. After the match, Read 640 00:35:54.559 --> 00:35:58.440 went on a rampage. He hit two tsunami splashes on 641 00:35:58.679 --> 00:36:02.360 Jay Usso before Adam Hears and other officials came out 642 00:36:02.440 --> 00:36:13.280 to intervened. Intervened manslaughter. It could have been manslaughter. Apparently 643 00:36:13.320 --> 00:36:16.880 manslaughter would be no contest. How is Adam Pierce still 644 00:36:16.920 --> 00:36:19.840 the general manager? He's got to have a meeting with 645 00:36:19.880 --> 00:36:22.960 his referees. We need an intervention for the referees, is 646 00:36:22.960 --> 00:36:27.159 what we need. That is what we need on these shows. 647 00:36:30.119 --> 00:36:33.239 Remember back in ninety nine when the referees went on 648 00:36:33.320 --> 00:36:38.159 strike and we had that scab referee. We need to 649 00:36:38.159 --> 00:36:40.480 have a segment where Adam Pierce and Nick all this 650 00:36:40.719 --> 00:36:44.039 get they round up all their referees and they let 651 00:36:44.039 --> 00:36:47.400 them know that it's about time that they renew their training. 652 00:36:47.519 --> 00:36:51.119 So they're going to be mandatory training courses for these referees. 653 00:36:53.079 --> 00:36:57.320 I can't quite figure that out. This match only lasted 654 00:36:57.360 --> 00:37:00.719 three minutes. It was the same situation is the bron 655 00:37:00.800 --> 00:37:02.880 Breaker thing, where it was more of an angle than 656 00:37:02.920 --> 00:37:05.159 a match. It was a means to an end. The 657 00:37:05.199 --> 00:37:08.559 outcome of the match as far as who wins and 658 00:37:08.599 --> 00:37:12.360 who loses in this case, isn't even really relevant. I 659 00:37:12.360 --> 00:37:14.480 mean again, I'm just blown away by them calling it 660 00:37:14.519 --> 00:37:17.559 a no contest. But whether Jay wins or Read wins 661 00:37:17.559 --> 00:37:20.159 in this case, it doesn't matter because the point was 662 00:37:21.079 --> 00:37:24.079 take out jay Usso and leave him laying at the 663 00:37:24.199 --> 00:37:26.519 end of the segment, And actually jay Usso got back 664 00:37:26.559 --> 00:37:28.679 to his feet and he was helped to the back, 665 00:37:28.719 --> 00:37:31.000 so it wasn't like he was all laid out or 666 00:37:31.000 --> 00:37:33.599 anything like that. But it was more of an angle 667 00:37:33.639 --> 00:37:37.039 to just show the dominance of Seth's crew. That was 668 00:37:37.079 --> 00:37:41.519 the point of this. Now, after this, Michael Cole was 669 00:37:41.599 --> 00:37:45.159 hyping up that they actually put a fact on the screens, 670 00:37:45.199 --> 00:37:46.840 like the Fact of the Day or whatever they called 671 00:37:46.840 --> 00:37:52.719 it up on the screen where it said Goldberg could 672 00:37:53.599 --> 00:37:57.159 culminate his career on Saturday Night's main event this weekend. 673 00:37:58.320 --> 00:38:02.239 He could because you see, the idea is that if 674 00:38:02.280 --> 00:38:05.880 he beats Gunther and wins the World Heavyweight Championship, then 675 00:38:05.960 --> 00:38:10.760 conceivably his career may continue. Right, There's a chance that 676 00:38:10.800 --> 00:38:14.719 his career may go on if he's the champion. God forbid. 677 00:38:16.400 --> 00:38:20.800 We got an La Knight video promo promoting his Saturday 678 00:38:20.880 --> 00:38:23.719 Night's main event match against Seth Rollins, and he was 679 00:38:23.760 --> 00:38:27.519 cutting a promo on Seth and in this promo, La 680 00:38:27.639 --> 00:38:31.880 Knight talked about how he took three tsunami splashes from 681 00:38:31.920 --> 00:38:37.199 Bronson Reid and he returned a week later. That is 682 00:38:37.239 --> 00:38:39.840 a hell of a way to follow up on the 683 00:38:39.920 --> 00:38:44.400 segment that we just saw where Jay Uso took only 684 00:38:44.480 --> 00:38:49.599 two tsunami splashes. Here's La Night saying I took three 685 00:38:49.599 --> 00:38:51.960 and I was back a week later. So I guess 686 00:38:52.000 --> 00:38:54.000 the two that we just saw that Jay took really 687 00:38:54.039 --> 00:38:56.840 are all that big of a deal. I would expect 688 00:38:56.880 --> 00:39:00.159 to see him back on the show looking quite good 689 00:39:00.239 --> 00:39:02.599 next week. We shouldn't have to wait too long to 690 00:39:02.639 --> 00:39:07.880 see him again. We also got a good video package 691 00:39:07.880 --> 00:39:10.679 promoting the Rhea Ripley Eosky match, which was the only 692 00:39:10.719 --> 00:39:13.280 bit of promotion we got all night for their match 693 00:39:13.280 --> 00:39:17.280 on Sunday, Saturday, Sunday. So many fucking shows. I don't 694 00:39:17.320 --> 00:39:20.559 know which day each one is. Evolution is on Sunday, 695 00:39:20.800 --> 00:39:23.239 so we got a video package here. This is very 696 00:39:23.440 --> 00:39:26.880 likely made eventing the show. There really is no other 697 00:39:26.920 --> 00:39:28.960 match on the card that is deserving of that spot, 698 00:39:29.800 --> 00:39:33.320 not even Tiffany and Trish, Ria and Eo. They're the 699 00:39:33.360 --> 00:39:36.519 ones with as you saw in this video package history 700 00:39:36.519 --> 00:39:40.280 that goes back all the way to twenty eighteen, and 701 00:39:40.320 --> 00:39:42.400 they were showing highlights of their very first match in 702 00:39:42.440 --> 00:39:44.599 the May Young Class. Can you believe it's been seven 703 00:39:44.719 --> 00:39:49.519 years since the May Young Classic. It's crazy. But the 704 00:39:49.519 --> 00:39:52.639 story here is that Rhea Ripley cannot figure this woman out. 705 00:39:52.679 --> 00:39:56.400 Eosky has Rhea Ripley's number. Rhea Ripley has yet to 706 00:39:56.519 --> 00:39:59.760 beat Eo Sky one on one. She lost to her 707 00:39:59.800 --> 00:40:02.920 in the Young Classic, she lost to her another time 708 00:40:02.960 --> 00:40:06.119 in NXT, she lost her championship to her on Raw. 709 00:40:06.400 --> 00:40:09.000 Earlier this year, she lost to her in the triple 710 00:40:09.000 --> 00:40:12.239 Threat match of WrestleMania. All of these things would seem 711 00:40:12.280 --> 00:40:15.239 to add up to a title change on Sunday because 712 00:40:15.239 --> 00:40:18.519 they're really leaning in hard on this idea that Ria 713 00:40:18.719 --> 00:40:23.280 just can't beat Eosky, and so that's really the crux 714 00:40:23.320 --> 00:40:26.199 of this video package, which was well done, but again, 715 00:40:26.199 --> 00:40:28.599 it would have been nice to actually see them on 716 00:40:28.639 --> 00:40:33.559 the show tonight, which we did not. Up next, we 717 00:40:33.639 --> 00:40:39.559 had El Grande Americano. Yes, El Grande Americano was on 718 00:40:39.679 --> 00:40:44.400 Raw tonight, even though Chad Gable unfortunately is out injured 719 00:40:45.880 --> 00:40:47.920 and we will not be seeing Chad Gable for quite 720 00:40:47.920 --> 00:40:51.119 some time, but that doesn't mean that Elgrande Americano is 721 00:40:51.159 --> 00:40:53.760 not going to be with us. He was against Dragon 722 00:40:53.880 --> 00:40:58.360 Lee tonight. Michael Cole acknowledged that Americano was a foot 723 00:40:58.480 --> 00:41:03.199 taller than the last time we saw him in the ring. Well, 724 00:41:03.239 --> 00:41:08.440 obviously he hit a growth spurt. Graves said that Cole 725 00:41:08.519 --> 00:41:11.519 probably thinks Giant Machine was andre the Giants, where a 726 00:41:11.559 --> 00:41:17.360 Midnight Rider was Dusty Rhodes. Dragon Ly hit Americana with 727 00:41:17.400 --> 00:41:20.679 a sliding kick that sent him over the over by 728 00:41:20.719 --> 00:41:24.800 the announced desk, and Cole said, look, there's no tattoo 729 00:41:24.880 --> 00:41:28.000 on the back of his neck. Chad Gable has a 730 00:41:28.039 --> 00:41:30.440 tattoo on the back of his neck. Now Grande Americano 731 00:41:30.519 --> 00:41:33.719 previously had that same tattoo on the back of his neck. 732 00:41:34.119 --> 00:41:36.239 This guy has no tattoo on the back of his neck, 733 00:41:36.239 --> 00:41:39.880 he says. So Americano battled back and sent Lee over 734 00:41:39.920 --> 00:41:43.199 the timekeeper's barricade. It was a very scary bump too, 735 00:41:43.239 --> 00:41:45.920 the way that he went flying over that barricade and 736 00:41:46.079 --> 00:41:50.880 just smacked the concrete. After a commercial break, Americana ran 737 00:41:50.960 --> 00:41:53.199 up the ropes. He had a blockbuster on the way down. 738 00:41:54.079 --> 00:41:57.199 Lee fought back. He caught Americano in the ropes upside 739 00:41:57.199 --> 00:41:59.039 down and then hit him with a double stomp off 740 00:41:59.039 --> 00:42:04.440 the top rope that led to a near fall. Lee 741 00:42:04.559 --> 00:42:07.880 followed up with a flip did and then back in 742 00:42:07.920 --> 00:42:13.599 the ring. Americano he slipped the metal plate underneath his mask. 743 00:42:14.840 --> 00:42:19.320 He avoided Lee's top rope whatever move he was going for, 744 00:42:19.880 --> 00:42:22.079 and then he charged at him with a running headbutt 745 00:42:22.440 --> 00:42:24.920 with the loaded mask, and he knocked him out and 746 00:42:25.000 --> 00:42:29.480 Americano covered Dragon Lee and he pinned him, so Ludwig 747 00:42:29.760 --> 00:42:33.800 our El Grande Americano picks up the win here. You know, 748 00:42:34.119 --> 00:42:38.880 Kaiser is in the same boat as Chad Gable. When 749 00:42:38.880 --> 00:42:43.079 these guys go out there as themselves under their actual name, 750 00:42:43.360 --> 00:42:45.760 they can't win a match to save their life. Ludwig 751 00:42:45.840 --> 00:42:49.400 Kaiser hasn't even been able to buy television time, Like 752 00:42:49.880 --> 00:42:52.440 I could see him going to management and saying, can 753 00:42:52.519 --> 00:42:55.519 I get a time buy like these infomercials you see 754 00:42:55.519 --> 00:42:57.320 at two o'clock in the morning on TV. Can I 755 00:42:57.440 --> 00:42:59.360 buy time on the show? And They're like, no, get 756 00:42:59.360 --> 00:43:02.599 the fuck away. He can't buy time on this show 757 00:43:03.119 --> 00:43:07.239 over the last what four or five months? Funny enough, 758 00:43:07.239 --> 00:43:09.480 ever since Charlotte Flair made that comment about him in 759 00:43:09.480 --> 00:43:13.639 her promo with Tiffany Stratt leading into Wrestlevania, Kaiser dropped 760 00:43:13.639 --> 00:43:16.079 off the face of the earth. So the only way 761 00:43:16.119 --> 00:43:18.440 he can win matches, same thing with Chad Gable is 762 00:43:18.480 --> 00:43:22.400 by slipping on the Elgrande Americano mask and then they're unbeatable. 763 00:43:23.599 --> 00:43:25.800 So this may be the only way that Ludwig Kaiser 764 00:43:25.880 --> 00:43:28.760 is going to get himself some wins here on this show. 765 00:43:28.800 --> 00:43:31.239 And if that's what it takes, then so be it now. 766 00:43:31.280 --> 00:43:32.880 I don't know how long Gable is going to be 767 00:43:32.920 --> 00:43:36.840 out for he had shoulder surgery. I don't know the 768 00:43:36.920 --> 00:43:42.119 extent of it, but shoulder surgery is not a quick recovery, 769 00:43:42.920 --> 00:43:44.800 so I suspect it will be at least a few 770 00:43:44.840 --> 00:43:47.159 months before we see Chad Gable. It's not gonna be 771 00:43:47.199 --> 00:43:50.599 two months, it's gonna be a while. I don't know 772 00:43:50.679 --> 00:43:52.960 how much you know in terms of the legs that 773 00:43:53.000 --> 00:43:56.119 this character has and this angle has, because it has 774 00:43:56.119 --> 00:43:58.679 already been going on there for many months. I don't 775 00:43:58.719 --> 00:44:02.000 know the kind of legs that it has. You know, 776 00:44:02.360 --> 00:44:06.039 if they can not drive this thing into the ground 777 00:44:07.000 --> 00:44:09.679 before Chad Gable does come back, if they can wait 778 00:44:09.760 --> 00:44:12.679 until Chad Gable comes back, once he's back, then you 779 00:44:12.719 --> 00:44:15.079 can have some fun with it with him and Kaiser, 780 00:44:15.119 --> 00:44:17.360 maybe going back and forth as far as who's under 781 00:44:17.360 --> 00:44:21.119 the mask. But again that's still many months down the road. 782 00:44:21.199 --> 00:44:23.920 They may run this thing into the ground. You know, 783 00:44:23.960 --> 00:44:25.920 I still find it amusing. Am I going to find 784 00:44:25.960 --> 00:44:29.719 it as amusing a month from now? Three months from now? 785 00:44:30.199 --> 00:44:33.360 Maybe not? But you know what, it's something for Kaiser 786 00:44:33.400 --> 00:44:36.079 to do. It's sad that this is what it takes. 787 00:44:36.159 --> 00:44:37.719 But if this is what it takes to get him 788 00:44:37.760 --> 00:44:39.960 on television, and they can play this thing out and 789 00:44:40.000 --> 00:44:42.840 eventually the mask will come off and they'll do a 790 00:44:42.840 --> 00:44:45.440 big angle out of it, you know what. So be it. 791 00:44:45.880 --> 00:44:48.800 Because he's a really good wrestler, and if that's what 792 00:44:48.880 --> 00:44:51.639 it takes putting him under a silly, stupid mask to 793 00:44:51.679 --> 00:44:55.000 get him back in the ring, so be it. And 794 00:44:55.039 --> 00:44:56.800 not for nothing. The mash that these two guys had 795 00:44:56.920 --> 00:45:01.079 was pretty good. Dragonly is just he's just another guy 796 00:45:01.119 --> 00:45:01.519 in the show. 797 00:45:01.559 --> 00:45:01.760 Now. 798 00:45:02.599 --> 00:45:04.760 There was a point in time, very early on when 799 00:45:04.800 --> 00:45:07.159 he was called up to the main roster where Dragonly 800 00:45:07.280 --> 00:45:10.519 was getting something of a push. It didn't last very long, 801 00:45:10.719 --> 00:45:14.039 and now he's just another guy in the show. This 802 00:45:14.079 --> 00:45:18.559 week's episode is sponsored by Express VPN. Imagine you're on 803 00:45:18.599 --> 00:45:20.760 a zoom call with a client and you make a 804 00:45:20.840 --> 00:45:24.119 snide comment about Karen, but she hears it because you 805 00:45:24.159 --> 00:45:26.960 forgot to mute yourself. Or maybe you're on a zoom 806 00:45:27.000 --> 00:45:29.039 call with your camera turned off, but you forget that 807 00:45:29.079 --> 00:45:31.320 your audio is still on. When you flush the toilet 808 00:45:31.360 --> 00:45:34.199 because you just had to go. You couldn't wait, And 809 00:45:34.239 --> 00:45:37.679 now everybody else knows it too. That'd be pretty embarrassing, 810 00:45:37.679 --> 00:45:41.320 wouldn't it. Forgetting to mute yourself is like going online 811 00:45:41.360 --> 00:45:44.639 without Express VPN. You don't have to do it, but 812 00:45:44.719 --> 00:45:47.559 if you don't, there may be some consequences to be paid, 813 00:45:47.920 --> 00:45:51.719 and those consequences could make your life very uncomfortable. But 814 00:45:51.760 --> 00:45:55.039 it all could have been avoided. Internet service providers, and 815 00:45:55.039 --> 00:45:57.639 that includes your mobile provider, by the way, they know 816 00:45:57.840 --> 00:46:00.840 every single website that you visit because all of your 817 00:46:00.880 --> 00:46:03.920 traffic flows through their servers on a daily basis, and 818 00:46:04.000 --> 00:46:06.639 in the US, these companies are legally allowed to sell 819 00:46:06.679 --> 00:46:11.480 your information to advertisers. ExpressVPN reroutes one hundred percent of 820 00:46:11.519 --> 00:46:15.519 your traffic through secure, encrypted servers, so your ISP can't 821 00:46:15.559 --> 00:46:19.760 see your browsing history. ExpressVPN is the best VPN because 822 00:46:19.800 --> 00:46:22.239 it hides your IP address, making it very hard for 823 00:46:22.280 --> 00:46:25.400 third parties to track your online activity.

Is a 831 00:46:45.840 --> 00:46:48.960 reason that ExpressVPN is ranked number one by top tech 832 00:46:49.000 --> 00:46:53.000 reviewers like c Net and The Verge. I've used ExpressVPN 833 00:46:53.039 --> 00:46:55.000 on the road quite a few times when traveling to 834 00:46:55.079 --> 00:46:57.559 House of Glory shows when I'm at the airport or 835 00:46:57.559 --> 00:47:00.239 the hotel, so I know it keeps me private. Also 836 00:47:00.320 --> 00:47:03.119 heard me talking a lot about VPNs recently because of 837 00:47:03.159 --> 00:47:06.280 all the international WWE shows, which allows me to watch 838 00:47:06.320 --> 00:47:08.719 them when they air outside the US at an earlier 839 00:47:08.760 --> 00:47:11.760 start time. I did that with SmackDown in Riod last week. 840 00:47:11.880 --> 00:47:14.719 Watch the show early on Canadian Netflix with my Express 841 00:47:14.840 --> 00:47:17.400 VPN and I'll be putting it to good use again 842 00:47:17.440 --> 00:47:20.119 next month when they have their next European tour.

Now 849 00:47:43.559 --> 00:47:46.639 backstage Penta who I am happy to say, is not 850 00:47:46.920 --> 00:47:49.440 just another guy in the show. Penta is probably the 851 00:47:49.480 --> 00:47:53.199 most over luchador they have not named Raymisterio. He was 852 00:47:53.199 --> 00:47:56.000 in the back warming up when Paul Hermit, Paul Herman, 853 00:47:56.280 --> 00:48:01.920 Paul Hayman, Paul her Peewee Herman, Paul Haman sat down 854 00:48:01.960 --> 00:48:06.079 next to him. Hayman called himself the personal oracle of 855 00:48:06.199 --> 00:48:09.320 seth Rawlins and started to address Penta in Spanish. I 856 00:48:09.360 --> 00:48:11.280 don't know what he said, but I did hear puto. 857 00:48:12.960 --> 00:48:16.159 I know that's a very bad thing, so I know 858 00:48:16.239 --> 00:48:18.760 he called him that. Penta cut him off and he 859 00:48:18.840 --> 00:48:22.199 barked back at him in Spanish. Bron Breaker showed up 860 00:48:23.440 --> 00:48:25.360 and he looks over at pent He goes, look, I 861 00:48:25.360 --> 00:48:28.880 have no idea what you just said. I don't know 862 00:48:28.880 --> 00:48:31.559 what you just said, but you don't talk to him 863 00:48:31.639 --> 00:48:35.800 like that. Got to adjust your tone when you're speaking 864 00:48:35.840 --> 00:48:40.039 to Paul Haman. Penta then did his Sarah Miado hand 865 00:48:40.079 --> 00:48:42.440 gesture and he walked off, and Haymon looked at Breaker 866 00:48:42.440 --> 00:48:46.239 and said, I hate when he does that, and Breaker said, man, 867 00:48:46.320 --> 00:48:48.559 I do too. He goes, you know, three up, three down, 868 00:48:48.639 --> 00:48:52.000 like we're in baseball. I don't get it. I laughed. 869 00:48:53.440 --> 00:48:57.239 It's true, three up, three down, that's a baseball reference. 870 00:48:58.639 --> 00:49:00.719 I don't know that pent is a really big baseball fan, 871 00:49:00.800 --> 00:49:04.679 but say personality. We got to see more of his 872 00:49:04.760 --> 00:49:08.079 personality shine through on TV. We heard more from bron 873 00:49:08.119 --> 00:49:09.960 Breaker in one night tonight than we had in the 874 00:49:10.000 --> 00:49:15.639 last six months. That's good. More of that during the break. 875 00:49:17.000 --> 00:49:19.840 You may have missed this. They did post this, by 876 00:49:19.880 --> 00:49:23.719 the way, on their Twitter page. Wwe did this was 877 00:49:23.880 --> 00:49:26.639 during the commercial break they went up to the balcony. 878 00:49:26.840 --> 00:49:32.239 Jackie Redman was there to interview, carrying Cross and scarlet. 879 00:49:32.360 --> 00:49:37.480 And when they when she introduced cross and scarlet, big 880 00:49:37.599 --> 00:49:43.599 pop from the crowd, like a big ovation for these two. 881 00:49:43.800 --> 00:49:48.079 And they replayed the attack on Samby's ain earlier in 882 00:49:48.119 --> 00:49:51.360 the night and she asked him, you know, what do 883 00:49:51.440 --> 00:49:58.000 you have to say for yourself? And he says, wasn't 884 00:49:58.039 --> 00:50:03.880 that great footage? And the people cheered, poor Sammy's am 885 00:50:04.880 --> 00:50:07.079 first a chance, we want Cross after he's laying there 886 00:50:07.079 --> 00:50:10.639 in the aisleway. Now they replay it again and this 887 00:50:10.679 --> 00:50:13.360 man is gloating about it and the fans are cheering. 888 00:50:13.719 --> 00:50:18.280 We got loud chants of we want Cross, we want Cross, 889 00:50:19.559 --> 00:50:23.039 and Cross says well, now you got me, and everyone 890 00:50:23.119 --> 00:50:26.920 goes yay and they all cheer, and now you got 891 00:50:26.920 --> 00:50:29.639 me too, Sammy. And every week you come out here, 892 00:50:29.800 --> 00:50:32.400 I'm gonna blash you in the guts with a steel rod. 893 00:50:32.920 --> 00:50:37.039 He says. All he needs Sammy to say is Cross 894 00:50:37.079 --> 00:50:41.679 told the truth. And until he does that, this is 895 00:50:41.719 --> 00:50:45.719 gonna happen week after week after week, because let's tell 896 00:50:45.760 --> 00:50:49.840 the truth, Sammy. He is the devil they know, versus 897 00:50:49.880 --> 00:50:54.599 you the devil they don't. And that got another big pop. 898 00:50:55.360 --> 00:50:58.000 And the best part about this entire thing is Jackie 899 00:50:58.039 --> 00:51:01.719 Redmond at that point is taking it home because they're 900 00:51:01.719 --> 00:51:05.519 about to come back from commercial. And as they're winding 901 00:51:05.559 --> 00:51:08.360 down the segment, right before they cut away and they 902 00:51:08.400 --> 00:51:13.079 faded out, Cross reaches over. He grabs Scarlett by the 903 00:51:13.159 --> 00:51:18.000 head and he begins putting a liplock on her, starts 904 00:51:18.039 --> 00:51:21.239 making out with his wife to another big pot as 905 00:51:21.239 --> 00:51:25.360 they cut away. This man is very much enjoying the 906 00:51:25.400 --> 00:51:28.400 fan support that he's been getting. That much is very clear. 907 00:51:28.599 --> 00:51:30.000 I know there's been a lot to talk about his 908 00:51:30.039 --> 00:51:33.360 contract status. His contract supposedly is up, possibly in the 909 00:51:33.360 --> 00:51:35.639 next month or so. Is he going to stay, is 910 00:51:35.639 --> 00:51:38.400 he going to go. I think he's gonna stay. I'm 911 00:51:38.440 --> 00:51:40.360 sure they're going to offer him an extension. They'd be 912 00:51:40.360 --> 00:51:42.400 crazy not to with this kind of support that he's 913 00:51:42.440 --> 00:51:44.639 been getting. And whether it's a short term deal like 914 00:51:44.679 --> 00:51:46.719 a one year thing or a three year thing, I 915 00:51:46.760 --> 00:51:51.840 think Carrying Cross is staying in WWE, and if they 916 00:51:51.840 --> 00:51:55.159 can actually get serious, you know about giving him more 917 00:51:55.159 --> 00:51:57.880 consistent television time, which they have been doing the last 918 00:51:57.880 --> 00:52:00.480 few weeks. So this is exactly the sort of thing 919 00:52:00.480 --> 00:52:03.119 they need to be doing. You hear him getting these 920 00:52:03.159 --> 00:52:06.719 reactions like tonight they were in Providence, Rhode Island. I 921 00:52:06.760 --> 00:52:09.239 don't think he has any connection to Providence, Rhode Island. 922 00:52:09.239 --> 00:52:11.800 Maybe once in his life he drove through Providence, Long 923 00:52:12.119 --> 00:52:14.480 Rhode Island. Maybe he worked an independent show there many 924 00:52:14.559 --> 00:52:17.480 years ago. I don't know. But whether it's Providence, whether 925 00:52:17.519 --> 00:52:21.199 it's Saudi Arabia, whether it's any other arena, we've seen 926 00:52:21.239 --> 00:52:23.679 this where they show him on screen or he makes 927 00:52:23.679 --> 00:52:28.239 an appearance and he gets a reaction, good capitalize on that, 928 00:52:28.320 --> 00:52:31.320 build on that. Maybe this could turn into something even bigger. 929 00:52:32.800 --> 00:52:34.599 But yeah, there's been a lot of contract talk. I 930 00:52:35.119 --> 00:52:40.840 would not expect him to be going anywhere after a break. 931 00:52:42.480 --> 00:52:45.519 It was time to hear from the ring. General our 932 00:52:45.760 --> 00:52:53.360 esteemed world heavyweight champion. Woo wooings. Yes he got a 933 00:52:53.440 --> 00:53:00.559 name change, our world heavyweight champion. Gunther on his way 934 00:53:00.599 --> 00:53:04.519 down to the ring, and he said, oh my god, 935 00:53:04.719 --> 00:53:10.519 look at that. Oh man, hey, big hoss, what's going on? 936 00:53:10.559 --> 00:53:10.679 Man? 937 00:53:10.719 --> 00:53:14.960 Thank you for the two bucks. Gunther said, he has 938 00:53:15.280 --> 00:53:18.800 verbally abused Goldberg over the last two weeks, and yet 939 00:53:18.840 --> 00:53:22.239 Goldberg hasn't done anything about it. So Gunther assumed that 940 00:53:22.400 --> 00:53:25.119 Goldberg was afraid of him and afraid of the pressure. 941 00:53:25.639 --> 00:53:30.079 Now we hear the sound of a car engine interrupting Gunther. 942 00:53:30.599 --> 00:53:33.280 He's looking around, and then they show us on screen. 943 00:53:33.840 --> 00:53:37.039 They cut to the parking lot outside and they showed 944 00:53:37.760 --> 00:53:41.800 Goldberg arriving in his muscle car. He showed up in 945 00:53:41.840 --> 00:53:47.039 a red Chevelle, pretty nice car. He exits the car, 946 00:53:47.079 --> 00:53:50.440 it leaves it running. He's wearing his Goldberg's Does it 947 00:53:50.480 --> 00:53:55.000 say Goldberg's last stand or Goldberg can't stand? I don't 948 00:53:55.000 --> 00:53:56.639 know what it's said. Anyway. He gets out of the 949 00:53:56.639 --> 00:53:59.519 car and he begins to make his way into the 950 00:53:59.519 --> 00:54:02.239 building where he makes his entrance. They through Gorilla. They 951 00:54:02.239 --> 00:54:04.920 play his music and there was a loud ovation for him. 952 00:54:04.960 --> 00:54:07.679 The people were I don't think they weren't necessarily expecting 953 00:54:07.719 --> 00:54:09.719 him to be there, because again, we haven't seen him 954 00:54:09.760 --> 00:54:12.599 in the flesh over the last few weeks. So I 955 00:54:12.599 --> 00:54:16.039 think it was a combination of people who wanted to 956 00:54:16.119 --> 00:54:18.079 cheer for him, but also people who were like, oh shit, 957 00:54:18.119 --> 00:54:21.679 he's actually here. So he got a good reaction coming out, 958 00:54:22.000 --> 00:54:24.400 and he was met by Goldberg. Chance he gets in 959 00:54:24.400 --> 00:54:28.079 the ring, he and Gunther go face to face. And 960 00:54:28.599 --> 00:54:32.159 now this was all off Mike, this was not being 961 00:54:32.199 --> 00:54:34.719 set into the microphone, but you could read Goldberg's lips. 962 00:54:34.719 --> 00:54:37.079 He's telling him he's ready for a fight. Why wait 963 00:54:37.159 --> 00:54:42.239 until Saturday, Let's go now. So Goldberg starts daring Gunther 964 00:54:42.440 --> 00:54:46.000 to hit him. So Gunther goes and takes a shot, 965 00:54:46.159 --> 00:54:48.880 and Goldberg blocks it and he knocks him down with 966 00:54:48.920 --> 00:54:52.079 a punch of his own. And then Goldberg goes to 967 00:54:52.119 --> 00:54:54.159 the corner. He begins to set up for a spear 968 00:54:54.760 --> 00:54:56.719 gun through though rolls out of the ring before he 969 00:54:56.719 --> 00:55:01.719 could hit it. The good news, the good news here 970 00:55:03.599 --> 00:55:06.199 Goldberg's last ride. Right, Okay, that's what the shirt says. 971 00:55:06.199 --> 00:55:12.119 That's right, thank you, Yes, Goldberg, I thought it was 972 00:55:12.159 --> 00:55:18.119 Goldberg's last stand. Goldberg can't stand, Goldberg can't drive. No, 973 00:55:18.480 --> 00:55:21.679 it's Goldberg's last ride. The good news is that the 974 00:55:21.719 --> 00:55:24.960 crowd was loud for him and they were happy to 975 00:55:25.320 --> 00:55:27.719 see him come out and actually confront Gunther. They were 976 00:55:27.800 --> 00:55:31.199 chanting Goldberg, So that's good. That's good. The bad news 977 00:55:31.280 --> 00:55:36.840 is he was blown up after throwing one punch. And 978 00:55:37.039 --> 00:55:40.239 the shorter that this match is on Saturday, the better. 979 00:55:40.880 --> 00:55:43.760 Otherwise Gunther is going to have his work cut out 980 00:55:43.760 --> 00:55:46.480 for him. And when I say short, I'm talking three minutes. 981 00:55:47.519 --> 00:55:51.159 If this goes much longer than that, I'm talking five minutes, 982 00:55:52.119 --> 00:55:56.440 six minutes, eight minutes, it's going to be a struggle. 983 00:55:57.440 --> 00:56:00.719 I'm sure he's in the gym. Look, he's in good shape, 984 00:56:00.800 --> 00:56:02.880 especially for a fifty eight year old, Right, he's in 985 00:56:02.960 --> 00:56:07.039 better shape than I fucking am. But there's a difference 986 00:56:07.079 --> 00:56:10.719 between being in good shape walking around and being in 987 00:56:10.719 --> 00:56:13.599 the kind of shape that he wants to be in 988 00:56:13.880 --> 00:56:16.960 getting back into the ring. Right, he can't do it. 989 00:56:18.159 --> 00:56:21.000 That guy that they showed in the video package last 990 00:56:21.000 --> 00:56:25.400 week killing dudes and you know, picking up Hulk Hogan 991 00:56:25.519 --> 00:56:27.920 like he's nothing and winning the title at the Georgia Dome. 992 00:56:28.239 --> 00:56:30.280 That was the peak of his career. Dude, that was 993 00:56:30.519 --> 00:56:35.920 nineteen ninety eight. That's a long time ago. And he's 994 00:56:35.960 --> 00:56:38.360 on record is saying that he's gotten hurt a bunch 995 00:56:38.360 --> 00:56:40.920 of times trying to train and prepare for this match. 996 00:56:40.920 --> 00:56:42.880 He's got a bad knee that really hurts him. He 997 00:56:42.920 --> 00:56:46.760 can't run on it, all these different things. Goldberg's matches 998 00:56:46.760 --> 00:56:51.360 were generally short anyway, but in this case, they have 999 00:56:51.440 --> 00:56:56.400 to keep this very short otherwise it's going to expose 1000 00:56:56.480 --> 00:56:58.440 him in a lot of ways and it's just gonna 1001 00:56:58.440 --> 00:57:01.679 make for a bad match. And if you just look 1002 00:57:01.719 --> 00:57:03.800 at it from the perspective of, you know what, this 1003 00:57:03.880 --> 00:57:08.199 guy was so insistent on having a retirement match, and 1004 00:57:08.239 --> 00:57:10.920 he was so angry that, you know, Vince McMahon promised 1005 00:57:10.960 --> 00:57:13.239 me one. I never got one. That's why I think 1006 00:57:13.239 --> 00:57:15.039 we're getting in now. I think Triple Ah really just 1007 00:57:15.039 --> 00:57:17.760 wanted to shut him up, and it's like, Okay, we'll 1008 00:57:17.760 --> 00:57:21.480 give him what he wants and that'll be it. I do. 1009 00:57:21.559 --> 00:57:24.079 I think he was just tired of hearing him complain 1010 00:57:24.199 --> 00:57:28.440 on podcasts and interviews and stuff. Okay, so now it's here, right. 1011 00:57:28.920 --> 00:57:31.599 Their whole reason he insisted on wanting this rematch is 1012 00:57:31.639 --> 00:57:34.719 he didn't like the way things went in his last match. 1013 00:57:35.280 --> 00:57:37.599 He got the call very late. It was for a 1014 00:57:37.599 --> 00:57:40.679 Saudi Arabia match against Roman reigns with three years ago. 1015 00:57:41.440 --> 00:57:45.119 He got COVID right before, which they may not have 1016 00:57:45.199 --> 00:57:48.079 known about, but he got COVID. Like everything that could 1017 00:57:48.159 --> 00:57:50.800 go wrong did go wrong, and it was a terrible match, 1018 00:57:51.920 --> 00:57:54.719 and he obviously is not happy with how that match went. 1019 00:57:54.800 --> 00:57:56.760 He didn't want that to be the last memory that 1020 00:57:56.800 --> 00:57:59.840 people have of him, so in his mind, he really 1021 00:58:00.039 --> 00:58:02.559 wants to go out there and have a match that 1022 00:58:02.599 --> 00:58:05.079 he can be proud of. So for his sake, I 1023 00:58:05.079 --> 00:58:06.760 hope he can do that. And the way to do 1024 00:58:06.840 --> 00:58:10.400 that is to not overexpose yourself and to not stay 1025 00:58:10.400 --> 00:58:13.000 out there for too long. He cannot do a match 1026 00:58:13.079 --> 00:58:16.400 longer than a few minutes. He's just not going to 1027 00:58:16.440 --> 00:58:19.039 be able to do it, you know, unless it's a 1028 00:58:19.119 --> 00:58:21.480 lot of stalling and you know, gum through leaving the 1029 00:58:21.559 --> 00:58:25.639 ring and doing like old school Heel type shit to 1030 00:58:25.639 --> 00:58:28.360 try to drag it out a little bit. But I said, 1031 00:58:28.400 --> 00:58:29.960 you know, for all the commercials we get on these 1032 00:58:29.960 --> 00:58:32.280 Saturday nights made event shows, you can fit the entire 1033 00:58:32.320 --> 00:58:34.320 match into one segment. You don't have to take a 1034 00:58:34.320 --> 00:58:36.199 break in the middle of this match, like we're so 1035 00:58:36.400 --> 00:58:39.320 used to this with WWE shows, where after ninety seconds, 1036 00:58:39.400 --> 00:58:42.000 you know it's like gotta go to commercial. No, you 1037 00:58:42.039 --> 00:58:45.159 can fit this whole fucking thing in one segment, and 1038 00:58:45.239 --> 00:58:46.920 so that's what they need to do, and hopefully for 1039 00:58:46.960 --> 00:58:49.199 his sake, he can at least be be happy with 1040 00:58:49.280 --> 00:58:53.719 his performance and be content to just leave it alone 1041 00:58:54.000 --> 00:58:57.840 and ride off into the sunset. That's really the best 1042 00:58:57.840 --> 00:58:59.519 that I think you can hope for, that the guy 1043 00:58:59.519 --> 00:59:05.320 doesn't go out there and embarrassed himself. On Saturday, the 1044 00:59:05.360 --> 00:59:09.880 main event was Seth Rollins one on one with Penta 1045 00:59:10.360 --> 00:59:12.639 Penta in the main event. That sounds all right to me. 1046 00:59:12.719 --> 00:59:17.320 I liked that Penta surprised Rowlins with a superkick right 1047 00:59:17.360 --> 00:59:20.639 as the bell rang, and then out at ringside Penta 1048 00:59:20.800 --> 00:59:23.960 was chopping away at him. He went for another chop, 1049 00:59:24.400 --> 00:59:27.920 which Rollins ducked, and so Penta ended up chopping the 1050 00:59:28.079 --> 00:59:32.199 led casing around the ring post. Pentado made a comeback. 1051 00:59:32.440 --> 00:59:36.159 He hit a diving hurricane Rona off the timekeeper's barricade 1052 00:59:36.199 --> 00:59:38.679 and took Seth down to the floor. As Penta got 1053 00:59:38.719 --> 00:59:42.000 back in the ring, Rollins took advantage with some stomps. 1054 00:59:42.480 --> 00:59:45.920 He attempted a pedigree. Pentado countered out and sent Rolins 1055 00:59:45.960 --> 00:59:48.800 to the outside with a clothesline. He followed that with 1056 00:59:48.840 --> 00:59:53.400 a topey conehilo that dropped Rollins and himself. He kind 1057 00:59:53.440 --> 00:59:57.360 of splattered himself on the floor as well. That led 1058 00:59:57.400 --> 01:00:00.880 to the final commercial break. He showed a cut right 1059 01:00:00.880 --> 01:00:05.199 above Set's eye was bleeding, nothing too terrible, but it 1060 01:00:05.280 --> 01:00:08.679 was a bloody cut. And so Seth is yelling at 1061 01:00:08.719 --> 01:00:11.320 Penta after you know, you made me bleed my own 1062 01:00:11.400 --> 01:00:16.239 blood anyway, And most people are going to say that 1063 01:00:16.239 --> 01:00:21.320 that comes from Dodgeball, but which is true? But Dodgeball 1064 01:00:21.360 --> 01:00:25.800 got it from the Simpsons. Just FYI. I'm not even 1065 01:00:25.880 --> 01:00:29.480 like a huge Simpsons fin I haven't watched all the 1066 01:00:29.519 --> 01:00:31.599 episodes or anything like that, but even I know that. 1067 01:00:32.480 --> 01:00:35.360 So Penta looked for the Penta driver, but Rollins escaped. 1068 01:00:35.800 --> 01:00:39.960 He could not, however, escape the backstabber from Penta. That followed. 1069 01:00:40.440 --> 01:00:43.679 As both men recovered, Rollins lifted Penta on his shoulders 1070 01:00:43.679 --> 01:00:47.519 before dropping him with a gutbuster. Rollins headed up top 1071 01:00:47.840 --> 01:00:52.079 and he started mocking Penta's Sarahmado and then he hit 1072 01:00:52.119 --> 01:00:56.480 the frog splash only for a two count. Though Rollins 1073 01:00:56.480 --> 01:00:59.280 had Penta in position for the stump but could not connect. 1074 01:01:00.079 --> 01:01:02.320 Rollins was placed on the top rope by Pentas. The 1075 01:01:02.360 --> 01:01:05.360 two began to duke it out up on top. So 1076 01:01:05.400 --> 01:01:08.519 Penta ended up on the apron and he connected with 1077 01:01:08.559 --> 01:01:12.519 an inside out Hurrican rana from the apron into the ring, 1078 01:01:13.360 --> 01:01:17.199 used his feet to pull Rollins off the top rope 1079 01:01:17.239 --> 01:01:21.199 with the rana. Then he managed a Penta driver on Rollins. 1080 01:01:21.239 --> 01:01:23.320 I always hold my breath when he hits that move. Man, 1081 01:01:23.400 --> 01:01:27.800 you gotta tuck your head like at just the right moment, 1082 01:01:28.159 --> 01:01:30.440 otherwise you're gonna get dumped right on top of your head. 1083 01:01:30.920 --> 01:01:34.400 But he hit the Penta driver, Rollins barely kicked out. 1084 01:01:35.239 --> 01:01:39.280 Penta got Rollins in position for the sacrifice arm snap, 1085 01:01:39.559 --> 01:01:42.559 but mister money in the bank over here, he escaped. 1086 01:01:42.679 --> 01:01:45.800 He delivered a buckle bomb. Penta, though bounced right out 1087 01:01:45.800 --> 01:01:49.360 of the corner and into a Mexican Destroyer. He went 1088 01:01:49.400 --> 01:01:52.079 for the cover after that. Rollins, though, grabbed the bottom 1089 01:01:52.199 --> 01:01:57.679 rope at the very last possible second. Now we've got 1090 01:01:57.760 --> 01:02:01.360 chance of this is awesome. The crowd is is totally 1091 01:02:01.360 --> 01:02:01.760 into this. 1092 01:02:01.840 --> 01:02:02.039 Now. 1093 01:02:03.000 --> 01:02:05.239 Penta drag Set's body to the center of the ring, 1094 01:02:05.280 --> 01:02:07.639 and he was setting up for something, but Rollins lifted 1095 01:02:07.679 --> 01:02:10.960 his head in such a way as to deliver a 1096 01:02:11.039 --> 01:02:14.719 low blow, which the referee did not see or else 1097 01:02:14.760 --> 01:02:18.159 it would have been a no contest, I guess. So 1098 01:02:18.280 --> 01:02:20.599 he went low with the head butt, and then Rollins 1099 01:02:20.599 --> 01:02:24.039 delivered a stomp and he pinned Penta to win the match. 1100 01:02:25.440 --> 01:02:28.920 After the match, Paul Hayman called literally on his phone, 1101 01:02:29.440 --> 01:02:33.039 bron Breaker and Bronson Reid's come on down, so they 1102 01:02:33.079 --> 01:02:36.119 started to make their way out. When La Knight snuck 1103 01:02:36.159 --> 01:02:38.880 into the ring, he blindsided Rollins and dropped him with 1104 01:02:38.880 --> 01:02:42.639 the bft Breaker and Reid they charged after him, but 1105 01:02:42.679 --> 01:02:45.360 they couldn't catch up. Tonight Night jumped over the barricade. 1106 01:02:45.400 --> 01:02:49.360 He made his getaway through the crowd. Funniest fucking moment 1107 01:02:49.360 --> 01:02:53.599 on the entire show. Bron Breaker in going after him, 1108 01:02:53.840 --> 01:02:55.639 he went over the barricade. I don't know if he 1109 01:02:55.679 --> 01:02:58.000 actually intended to go over. He didn't intend to go 1110 01:02:58.039 --> 01:02:59.599 over in the way that he did. He fell over 1111 01:02:59.599 --> 01:03:02.360 the bar and he was having a hell of a 1112 01:03:02.400 --> 01:03:05.159 time getting back out his feet. So I had a 1113 01:03:05.239 --> 01:03:08.440 nice little laugh at that. But la night, you know, 1114 01:03:08.480 --> 01:03:10.920 he was super over and everybody in the crowd was 1115 01:03:11.039 --> 01:03:13.280 chanting his name over and over again. That was the 1116 01:03:13.280 --> 01:03:15.800 parting shot, you know, as they went off the air here. 1117 01:03:15.800 --> 01:03:17.920 And that's good. That's good for him, because I don't 1118 01:03:17.920 --> 01:03:20.400 think that he will be standing tall on Saturday in 1119 01:03:20.440 --> 01:03:22.199 the way that he was standing tall at the end 1120 01:03:22.239 --> 01:03:25.079 of this show tonight. I don't think it's going to 1121 01:03:25.159 --> 01:03:28.519 go his way. But that was a great main event. 1122 01:03:28.639 --> 01:03:31.000 It's a great main event to close out a good 1123 01:03:31.079 --> 01:03:34.440 show overall, infinitely better than the Drek that we got 1124 01:03:34.480 --> 01:03:38.159 on Friday, which was just boring as all hell. I 1125 01:03:38.239 --> 01:03:40.920 enjoyed this show. I wish that I could say the 1126 01:03:40.960 --> 01:03:45.639 same for the promotion for these shows this weekend. We've 1127 01:03:45.639 --> 01:03:50.000 got only three matches so far on the entire Saturday 1128 01:03:50.079 --> 01:03:53.320 Night's main event card. You know, they could if they 1129 01:03:53.320 --> 01:03:55.800 wanted to, they could add a women's match onto that card, 1130 01:03:55.880 --> 01:03:58.800 because there was one champion who was actually not on 1131 01:03:58.880 --> 01:04:00.920 the card on Sunday unless they put her in the 1132 01:04:00.920 --> 01:04:06.280 Battle Royal, and that's the women's United States Champion. Julia 1133 01:04:06.559 --> 01:04:08.719 does not have a match on that show. So if 1134 01:04:08.719 --> 01:04:11.039 they wanted to do maybe a rematch, let's say, with 1135 01:04:11.079 --> 01:04:14.599 her and Zelina Vega. I could see them throwing that 1136 01:04:14.719 --> 01:04:17.880 on the Saturday Night's made a van card on Friday. 1137 01:04:17.920 --> 01:04:19.719 They'll have to announce something on Friday if they're going 1138 01:04:19.719 --> 01:04:22.039 to add anything to that show. But we only have 1139 01:04:22.079 --> 01:04:25.280 three matches on that show, and then of course the 1140 01:04:25.320 --> 01:04:29.360 Evolution show on Sunday. And you know, again, if I 1141 01:04:29.440 --> 01:04:33.199 was on that roster, the women's roster that they have, 1142 01:04:33.559 --> 01:04:36.199 I would not be happy with the way that they 1143 01:04:36.239 --> 01:04:40.320 have promoted this show for Sunday. They were set up 1144 01:04:40.360 --> 01:04:43.599 to fail the minute that this show was announced. They 1145 01:04:43.639 --> 01:04:46.440 really were, especially running in the same market three times 1146 01:04:46.440 --> 01:04:50.000 in one weekend. It's no wonder you know that they're 1147 01:04:50.000 --> 01:04:53.440 struggling to sell tickets on Sunday. It really shouldn't be 1148 01:04:53.480 --> 01:04:58.920 a surprise to anybody. What did you think of the 1149 01:04:59.280 --> 01:05:04.920 Raw before Saturday Night's Main Events and Evolution? Seventy two 1150 01:05:04.960 --> 01:05:08.639 point six percent thumbs up, twenty seven zero point four 1151 01:05:08.679 --> 01:05:15.760 percent thumbs down. A big hoss. Thank you for the 1152 01:05:15.800 --> 01:05:25.840 two bucks. Appreciate it. Thank you brother. Think a look 1153 01:05:25.840 --> 01:05:30.079 at your superchats, see what you thought of this show. 1154 01:05:31.199 --> 01:05:33.840 We are seven out of ten actually on the goal 1155 01:05:33.960 --> 01:05:36.679 in the chat, and we are at three hundred and 1156 01:05:36.719 --> 01:05:40.000 eighty one likes, less than twenty away from a guaranteed 1157 01:05:40.039 --> 01:05:45.119 be the booker. So get those likes up. Let's see 1158 01:05:45.159 --> 01:05:54.280 if we can make it happen, shall we? Hey dried Chicken, 1159 01:05:54.480 --> 01:05:58.880 getting us started here? Pair of superchats ten dollars in total. 1160 01:05:58.920 --> 01:06:01.199 Thank you, brother, I'll add. He says, I don't like 1161 01:06:01.280 --> 01:06:05.320 how they put together the Ria versus EO match. Will 1162 01:06:05.360 --> 01:06:15.039 there be a disqualification finish? Dope? I just only plane 1163 01:06:15.280 --> 01:06:18.960 polished and clean finish. I don't know what. I don't 1164 01:06:19.000 --> 01:06:20.719 know what you're trying to say. Just to be clear, 1165 01:06:21.119 --> 01:06:23.760 he says that he doesn't blame Ria or EO. I 1166 01:06:23.800 --> 01:06:26.199 don't like the low effort. I would have added a stipulation, 1167 01:06:28.159 --> 01:06:32.039 maybe a best of three falls match. Yeah, I mean 1168 01:06:32.039 --> 01:06:33.960 that doesn't bother me as much. They could have added 1169 01:06:33.960 --> 01:06:38.079 a stipulation, I guess, but again they It doesn't bother 1170 01:06:38.159 --> 01:06:40.320 me as much as just the overall lack of effort 1171 01:06:40.360 --> 01:06:43.480 they put into not only how we got to this match, 1172 01:06:43.559 --> 01:06:48.400 but just the entire show itself. It's a full card. 1173 01:06:49.119 --> 01:06:56.119 But like you said, very low effort, very lazy. Got 1174 01:06:56.119 --> 01:07:02.480 two more messages you're from him. One special lucky winner 1175 01:07:02.599 --> 01:07:06.280 from the Battle Royal at WWE Evolution will not only 1176 01:07:06.320 --> 01:07:08.800 receive a world title show, they will receive a hotel, 1177 01:07:08.840 --> 01:07:15.119 presidential suite and a personal limo. Also, let me tell 1178 01:07:15.119 --> 01:07:20.000 you how Naomi can get more heat. Brother Naomi sees 1179 01:07:20.119 --> 01:07:24.480 Jade Cargill's daughter, antagonizes her and makes her cry, screams 1180 01:07:24.519 --> 01:07:26.400 at her and tells her, I'll get you my pretty 1181 01:07:26.559 --> 01:07:28.559 like a true villain. It's a good thing you're not 1182 01:07:28.639 --> 01:07:39.480 booking these shows, Jace Laser. Today is my twenty seventh birthday, 1183 01:07:39.480 --> 01:07:41.079 and I want to say I've been a fan since 1184 01:07:41.159 --> 01:07:43.920 TV tracks. Well, then that means you've been a fan 1185 01:07:44.000 --> 01:07:45.920 for a long time TV tracks. Then we're going back 1186 01:07:45.960 --> 01:07:51.400 to what twenty twelve, twenty thirteen. Thank you, Jay's Happy birthday, 1187 01:07:51.679 --> 01:07:56.079 Happy twenty seventh birthday. I hope it's great. I don't 1188 01:07:56.079 --> 01:07:58.880 know if today is technically his birthday it's now after midnight, 1189 01:07:59.000 --> 01:08:02.760 but happy birthday Holiday one ninety seven. Hi Solo. It's 1190 01:08:02.800 --> 01:08:05.239 disappointing that the women's US title will be the only 1191 01:08:05.320 --> 01:08:10.119 women's title not being defended at Evolution. They have seven 1192 01:08:10.199 --> 01:08:15.480 matches already set, yeah, including the NXT Championship. I believe 1193 01:08:16.800 --> 01:08:21.840 so even the NXT Women's Championship is being defended on 1194 01:08:21.880 --> 01:08:29.520 the show, but not the women's US time. And we 1195 01:08:29.600 --> 01:08:32.119 have hit to be the booker goal. Look at that 1196 01:08:32.399 --> 01:08:35.279 four h two, So we'll be doing that in a bit. 1197 01:08:35.840 --> 01:08:42.000 Fire penned U dropping the fifty dollars goonthar bomb. Actually no, 1198 01:08:42.079 --> 01:08:47.560 that's a cold talk, says thinking about it now. If 1199 01:08:47.680 --> 01:08:55.840 WWE had gone to Netflix in twenty nineteen twenty twenty, says, 1200 01:08:55.960 --> 01:08:59.319 then they could have made actual full length weekly Firefly 1201 01:08:59.439 --> 01:09:04.520 Funhouse episodes as its own separate thing. It would have 1202 01:09:04.520 --> 01:09:07.560 been so down for that. You'd have to really go 1203 01:09:07.680 --> 01:09:15.000 all in for it to work. Uh you know what, weekly, 1204 01:09:15.600 --> 01:09:21.479 I think that would burn itself out pretty quick. It's 1205 01:09:21.560 --> 01:09:24.600 one of those kind of unique, special things that you 1206 01:09:24.640 --> 01:09:27.039 got to keep unique and special. I don't think that 1207 01:09:27.039 --> 01:09:36.960 would have worked. GMB name one star, WWE or AEW. 1208 01:09:38.680 --> 01:09:45.560 You want to turn face or heal. I'd like to 1209 01:09:45.600 --> 01:09:47.520 turn John Cena face so we could be done with 1210 01:09:47.520 --> 01:09:56.800 this heel turn. Can we do that? Duff's VIDs with 1211 01:09:56.920 --> 01:10:00.680 the nineteen ninety nine says, was I can hear Friday 1212 01:10:00.760 --> 01:10:02.960 Night because of a health scare thought it was a 1213 01:10:03.000 --> 01:10:08.399 mini stroke. It turned out to be Bell's palsy. Oh, 1214 01:10:08.439 --> 01:10:11.720 I'm sorry to hear that eating and drinking is annoying 1215 01:10:11.760 --> 01:10:14.000 and the I feel is dry sometimes. Thank you for 1216 01:10:14.039 --> 01:10:17.079 the stream solo. It helps more than you know. I'm 1217 01:10:17.159 --> 01:10:19.680 very sorry to hear that. I hope it clears up usually. 1218 01:10:19.760 --> 01:10:23.359 I think in most cases. Because I had a family 1219 01:10:23.359 --> 01:10:25.720 member who had Bell's palsy and I think it lasted 1220 01:10:26.439 --> 01:10:29.720 six weeks, which is really what makes the Jim Ross 1221 01:10:29.720 --> 01:10:32.359 thing so crazy. You know that he got afflicted with 1222 01:10:32.399 --> 01:10:38.079 it in nineteen ninety four. That's why Vince fired him, 1223 01:10:38.159 --> 01:10:40.680 and he'llly reason Vince brought him back later that year 1224 01:10:40.720 --> 01:10:43.720 is because Vince was on trial and he needed an announcer, 1225 01:10:43.840 --> 01:10:46.760 so he brought back Jim Ross. But that was the 1226 01:10:46.800 --> 01:10:49.520 first time he got afflicted with it, and he never 1227 01:10:49.560 --> 01:10:51.359 fully recovered. And then he got hit with it two 1228 01:10:51.359 --> 01:10:55.680 more times ninety eight. I think it was the same 1229 01:10:55.760 --> 01:10:57.560 night that he found out his mother passed away. They 1230 01:10:57.600 --> 01:10:59.479 were in the UK to do a UK only pay 1231 01:10:59.479 --> 01:11:01.960 per view and he had an attack while he was 1232 01:11:02.000 --> 01:11:04.680 live on the air doing the show. And I know 1233 01:11:04.760 --> 01:11:09.359 he had at least one more so that's a unique 1234 01:11:09.359 --> 01:11:13.319 thing for that to happen. Hopefully, in your case it 1235 01:11:13.359 --> 01:11:20.000 was relatively minor, and hopefully it'll resolve quickly. I'm sorry, 1236 01:11:20.039 --> 01:11:23.560 but I'm glad that you're here with us on the stream, 1237 01:11:23.600 --> 01:11:29.079 and hopefully, hopefully it'll be resolved very quickly. Mister Rod. 1238 01:11:29.640 --> 01:11:32.239 With everything going on this weekend, from w W to 1239 01:11:32.359 --> 01:11:36.000 NXT to AW, what is your excitement level for the 1240 01:11:36.000 --> 01:11:41.840 whole weekend. I'm pretty excited for All In because when 1241 01:11:41.840 --> 01:11:44.439 you really look at the car there are some really 1242 01:11:44.439 --> 01:11:47.479 strong matches on that show, and you know it's their 1243 01:11:48.960 --> 01:11:55.000 biggest show of the year, and I'm a little concerned 1244 01:11:55.000 --> 01:11:57.079 about the potential outcome of the main event, but I 1245 01:11:57.079 --> 01:12:00.800 think in the end, I think in the end it'll 1246 01:12:00.840 --> 01:12:04.880 all work out, So I'm excited for that show. My 1247 01:12:04.960 --> 01:12:11.000 excitement level for the WWE shows is pretty low. I 1248 01:12:11.000 --> 01:12:13.600 think the Evolution show will end up being pretty good though, 1249 01:12:13.720 --> 01:12:16.039 but at my excitement level for those shows is not 1250 01:12:16.159 --> 01:12:16.479 very high. 1251 01:12:16.479 --> 01:12:16.760 I at all. 1252 01:12:19.840 --> 01:12:28.720 Javili one hundred and thirty dollars Super cham Bomb, I 1253 01:12:28.880 --> 01:12:34.359 love heavily. Here is that why? Yeah, that's why Vince 1254 01:12:34.399 --> 01:12:37.399 fired Jim Ross. I think he woke up super Bowl 1255 01:12:37.479 --> 01:12:42.359 Sunday in nineteen ninety four and he had Bell's palsy 1256 01:12:43.039 --> 01:12:49.000 and Vince got rid of him. Hell of a guy, 1257 01:12:49.560 --> 01:12:55.119 But Havili says, what's up? Solom Monster shout out from Brisbane, Australia. 1258 01:12:57.520 --> 01:13:07.680 Favorite PL this year so far? I don't know what 1259 01:13:07.880 --> 01:13:11.760 is my favorite PL this year so far. It might 1260 01:13:11.760 --> 01:13:16.840 be Elimination Chamber. Actually, I very much enjoyed Elimination Chamber 1261 01:13:16.880 --> 01:13:27.920 this year. Probably probably the Royal Rumble or Elimination Chamber. WWE, 1262 01:13:27.960 --> 01:13:30.880 he says, is doing a top twenty five greatest Summer 1263 01:13:30.960 --> 01:13:34.800 Slam matches of all time? In your opinion, what will 1264 01:13:34.840 --> 01:13:39.720 be number one? My guess is they'll put Breton Davey 1265 01:13:39.760 --> 01:13:42.680 Boyt number one from ninety two Wembley. If I had 1266 01:13:42.680 --> 01:13:48.039 an adventurer guest, that's probably gonna be it. Jeff Jarrett 1267 01:13:48.039 --> 01:13:51.760 said that XPOC deserves a solo induction into the WWE 1268 01:13:51.760 --> 01:13:56.960 Hall of Fame. Do you agree? I do? Thank you 1269 01:13:57.000 --> 01:14:01.319 have YOULI justin g Sorry I missed you last week 1270 01:14:01.520 --> 01:14:04.560 On Call Sucks anyway. Sidra said that my dad jokes 1271 01:14:04.560 --> 01:14:13.439 are immature, how absurd, they're full grown. I like that, say, 1272 01:14:13.439 --> 01:14:19.640 I wasn't expecting that punchline you caught me there today 1273 01:14:19.880 --> 01:14:22.399 was of solo? What faction in WWE do you think 1274 01:14:22.439 --> 01:14:24.880 would have gone on to great success? But it ended 1275 01:14:25.000 --> 01:14:33.439 too soon? The hurt business? Uh Nico? How good was 1276 01:14:33.560 --> 01:14:37.319 Velveteen Dream versus Matt Riddle back at NXT Takeover? I 1277 01:14:37.359 --> 01:14:40.119 remember it had the most unpredictable ending to a match. 1278 01:14:41.239 --> 01:14:44.279 I only vaguely remember that. The one that really stands 1279 01:14:44.279 --> 01:14:46.760 out to me is the whole velveteen Dream Allister Black 1280 01:14:46.800 --> 01:14:50.960 thing and their match and Black winning and then sitting 1281 01:14:51.119 --> 01:14:55.520 next to him and saying I'm paraphrasing here but basically 1282 01:14:55.560 --> 01:14:58.560 acknowledging him and calling him velveteen Dream, and like the 1283 01:14:58.720 --> 01:15:01.079 pot that it got because he I wouldn't acknowledge him 1284 01:15:01.439 --> 01:15:03.840 in the lead up to the match, but he earned 1285 01:15:03.840 --> 01:15:06.479 his respect enough that he finally acknowledged him and it 1286 01:15:06.560 --> 01:15:08.640 got a big pop like that. It was just such 1287 01:15:08.640 --> 01:15:16.079 a great story, they told Dry Chicken says, you know what, 1288 01:15:16.199 --> 01:15:25.199 New Day and Becky as a team equals Cinema h 1289 01:15:25.880 --> 01:15:28.159 Major with the four ninety nine. What are your thoughts 1290 01:15:28.239 --> 01:15:32.239 on Maya Lesnar? I know Triple H is salivating at 1291 01:15:32.279 --> 01:15:35.239 the thought of her in WWE. I can see her 1292 01:15:35.279 --> 01:15:38.920 being the first real Paul Hayman girl. I have no 1293 01:15:38.960 --> 01:15:40.920 idea if she even wants to get involved in wrestling. 1294 01:15:41.600 --> 01:15:45.479 She seems like a really good athlete. I heard an 1295 01:15:45.479 --> 01:15:49.039 interview with her, I don't remember where it was from, 1296 01:15:49.079 --> 01:15:51.199 but I hadn't heard her speak, so I didn't know 1297 01:15:51.680 --> 01:15:55.560 what she even sounded like. And she sounds like a 1298 01:15:55.640 --> 01:15:59.520 very down to earth person. But whether or not she 1299 01:15:59.520 --> 01:16:01.479 wants to get involved in wrestling, I have no idea. 1300 01:16:01.520 --> 01:16:05.680 If she wants to, then, you know, depending on how 1301 01:16:05.720 --> 01:16:07.880 she progresses, I could see her. Maybe she'll be on 1302 01:16:07.960 --> 01:16:12.800 a future season of LFG if she were to ascend 1303 01:16:13.039 --> 01:16:16.560 that high to where she would one day be on TV. Yeah, 1304 01:16:16.880 --> 01:16:19.079 I think her being the first Paul Hamn girl would 1305 01:16:19.079 --> 01:16:22.000 actually make a lot of sense. Just seems like a 1306 01:16:22.079 --> 01:16:30.319 natural thing. Prince Vegetas is. In my opinion. The best 1307 01:16:30.359 --> 01:16:33.600 Goldberg moment ever is when he answered the five minute 1308 01:16:33.680 --> 01:16:39.039 Rodney Mack Whiteboy Challenge in Madison Square Garden and yelled 1309 01:16:39.199 --> 01:16:45.359 white boy after the match. Yeah, I forgot about that. 1310 01:16:49.560 --> 01:16:56.640 Dog Lover twenty one twenty two smells like smells like 1311 01:16:56.720 --> 01:17:03.960 updog in here solo. Hope you're well. I'm doing very well. 1312 01:17:04.000 --> 01:17:11.159 Thank you, my friend JAVELI will it be Stephanie Vicaire 1313 01:17:11.199 --> 01:17:15.800 against Ria or eo Sky at Clash Clash of the 1314 01:17:15.880 --> 01:17:18.239 Castle Paris. I don't think that's the name of the show. 1315 01:17:19.960 --> 01:17:23.359 That's kind of It's a very wordy title for the show. 1316 01:17:23.359 --> 01:17:27.760 It's just Clash in Paris, Stephanie Viccaer against Ria or 1317 01:17:27.760 --> 01:17:34.119 Eosky against Stephanie. I suspect. I suspect that assuming Stephanie 1318 01:17:34.119 --> 01:17:38.960 wins the Battle Royal, it would be Stephanie and Ria. 1319 01:17:39.239 --> 01:17:41.399 I think they want Ria to be the champion going 1320 01:17:41.439 --> 01:17:43.920 into Perth when they come back to Perth for Crown 1321 01:17:44.000 --> 01:17:49.239 Jewel in October. If Goldberg and brack Lesnar did not 1322 01:17:49.359 --> 01:17:51.560 leave WWI in two thousand and four, what is the 1323 01:17:51.600 --> 01:17:54.640 possibility of getting a rematch at SummerSlam in two thousand 1324 01:17:54.640 --> 01:17:58.880 and four or Wrestle Minnia twenty one. I don't think 1325 01:17:58.920 --> 01:18:01.359 they would have revisited that match. I think Goldberg beat 1326 01:18:01.399 --> 01:18:04.319 him and it was terrible, and I don't think they 1327 01:18:04.359 --> 01:18:07.359 would have gone back to it. I think they would 1328 01:18:07.359 --> 01:18:11.239 have moved on to something else. Dried Chicken says, one 1329 01:18:11.279 --> 01:18:15.079 day Omas may dress up as El Gaddandi. Yeah, good 1330 01:18:15.359 --> 01:18:20.199 luck fitting him into the mask. They'll have to have 1331 01:18:20.239 --> 01:18:23.439 a custom mass fitted for him like they did Andre 1332 01:18:23.520 --> 01:18:28.479 when he was a giant machine just reddit things. I 1333 01:18:28.560 --> 01:18:31.760 know that it is a way off, but I can't 1334 01:18:31.800 --> 01:18:34.760 wait for the first time. Bronze Spears set going to 1335 01:18:34.800 --> 01:18:41.359 be awesome. That's the play down the road. That's gonna 1336 01:18:41.359 --> 01:18:44.760 be his Batista moment, like when he power bomb tripleates 1337 01:18:44.760 --> 01:18:50.680 through the contract signing table stuffs VID's build to Americano 1338 01:18:50.800 --> 01:18:55.319 versus Americano at WrestleMania forty two or Royal Rumble Saudi 1339 01:18:55.640 --> 01:19:02.439 book it American I know against Americano. If you think 1340 01:19:02.439 --> 01:19:05.279 about who's underneath the mask and both in both of 1341 01:19:05.319 --> 01:19:09.640 those instances, that match could actually be pretty fucking great. 1342 01:19:11.840 --> 01:19:13.720 Prince Vegeta, do you care that they never did an 1343 01:19:13.760 --> 01:19:17.960 official split with Kaiser and Gunther or would you rather 1344 01:19:18.039 --> 01:19:20.600 keep it quiet like they are doing. Why do they 1345 01:19:20.600 --> 01:19:23.199 have to split? It doesn't bother me at all. Not 1346 01:19:23.239 --> 01:19:25.880 everybody has to split or turn their back on the other. 1347 01:19:27.039 --> 01:19:29.640 You know, they had an amicable sort of parting of 1348 01:19:29.640 --> 01:19:31.760 the ways where they had that segment on TV where 1349 01:19:31.760 --> 01:19:34.000 I think Gunther told them like, you need to stand 1350 01:19:34.000 --> 01:19:37.880 on your own two feet and not kind of rely 1351 01:19:38.000 --> 01:19:41.760 on me. I'm happy they acknowledged it. It's not as 1352 01:19:41.760 --> 01:19:43.880 if they just one day were no longer together. They 1353 01:19:43.880 --> 01:19:46.439 actually did do a segment on TV acknowledging that you 1354 01:19:46.479 --> 01:19:49.920 need to stand on your own. I like that, but 1355 01:19:49.960 --> 01:19:53.399 there was no need for them to, you know, split, don't. 1356 01:19:53.920 --> 01:19:55.600 I don't really know why there would be a need 1357 01:19:55.640 --> 01:20:02.680 for that. A big hos yes, Ray and Andrade to 1358 01:20:02.800 --> 01:20:10.800 Raw Phoenix helps Penta, Andrade joins Paul Paul doctry Man 1359 01:20:10.880 --> 01:20:14.439 Logan Paul there for a second. Drew mackincock with the 1360 01:20:14.439 --> 01:20:17.960 four ninety nine. Can I get a birthday shot at 1361 01:20:18.000 --> 01:20:20.720 It was on Friday, but I was gone celebrating turning 1362 01:20:20.720 --> 01:20:24.399 twenty six benefit since twenty fifteen thanks to TV tracks, 1363 01:20:24.520 --> 01:20:26.800 Thank you for all the great content. Happy birthday to 1364 01:20:26.960 --> 01:20:30.239 Drew macincock. We had a twenty seven year old birthday. 1365 01:20:30.279 --> 01:20:33.960 Now we have a twenty six year old birthday? Do 1366 01:20:34.079 --> 01:20:39.920 I have a twenty five? Alfonso with a nine ninety nine. 1367 01:20:39.960 --> 01:20:42.159 I don't understand how Triple H can book these women 1368 01:20:42.279 --> 01:20:44.600 like this when he took so much pride in his 1369 01:20:44.640 --> 01:20:49.359 women's division in NXT. What changed? They deserve better? Women's 1370 01:20:49.359 --> 01:20:55.720 wrestling can be a beautiful thing it can be, and 1371 01:20:55.880 --> 01:20:58.279 there are times where you know the women will be 1372 01:20:58.359 --> 01:21:01.600 in main events or they'll be a good story to 1373 01:21:01.720 --> 01:21:07.119 invest in. It just doesn't happen enough. So what happened. 1374 01:21:08.039 --> 01:21:10.720 I think what happened is that now he's in charge 1375 01:21:10.760 --> 01:21:13.720 of the whole thing. You know, before it was NXT, 1376 01:21:13.880 --> 01:21:18.000 it was a small pond, and the women's division is 1377 01:21:18.039 --> 01:21:21.319 really what was you know at times carrying the show. 1378 01:21:21.960 --> 01:21:23.920 I mean during Black and Gold there was a lot 1379 01:21:23.960 --> 01:21:26.439 of talent, but even then the women's division, there was 1380 01:21:26.479 --> 01:21:28.479 a lot of talent there. But now he oversees the 1381 01:21:28.640 --> 01:21:33.840 entire thing. So you know, his attention is on multiple things, 1382 01:21:34.119 --> 01:21:37.760 and sometimes the women get neglected, and it's very apparent. 1383 01:21:38.520 --> 01:21:43.840 This show, for example, on Sunday, is a great example 1384 01:21:43.880 --> 01:21:46.960 I think of being neglected. But it's also only happening 1385 01:21:46.960 --> 01:21:48.960 for one very particular reason, and we all know what 1386 01:21:48.960 --> 01:21:54.279 that is. That's it. There's no I mean again, seven 1387 01:21:54.399 --> 01:22:00.800 years and you do finally a second evolution. This weekend 1388 01:22:00.800 --> 01:22:11.039 of all weekends, JAVELI don't forget the ROH Supercard of Honor. 1389 01:22:11.119 --> 01:22:15.319 Oh my god, well I will be busy on Friday. 1390 01:22:15.960 --> 01:22:18.279 There's a different show going on in Texas that night 1391 01:22:18.319 --> 01:22:20.199 that I will be at I will be a part of. 1392 01:22:22.720 --> 01:22:25.479 But yes, that's another show this weekend. Ring of Honor 1393 01:22:25.600 --> 01:22:28.880 has a pay per view on Friday, So Ring of 1394 01:22:28.920 --> 01:22:35.319 Honor on Friday, All In on Saturday, NXT on Saturday, 1395 01:22:35.600 --> 01:22:43.840 Saturday Night's Made Event on Saturday, Evolution on Sunday. It's 1396 01:22:43.920 --> 01:22:50.920 too much Tomatonga super fan? Can you use your fingers 1397 01:22:50.960 --> 01:22:53.800 to show how close we were to Tomatonga becoming a 1398 01:22:53.840 --> 01:22:58.000 world champion before he got injured? I'll use my hands. 1399 01:23:03.520 --> 01:23:09.359 We weren't close. Jeremy Rose with the twenty two money 1400 01:23:09.359 --> 01:23:12.319 in the bank had him champions and now this three 1401 01:23:12.319 --> 01:23:15.920 event weekend, all in the span of six weeks. And 1402 01:23:15.960 --> 01:23:18.520 don't forget a two night SummerSlam is coming as well. 1403 01:23:19.760 --> 01:23:23.520 There's too many big shows with minimal bill They overbooked 1404 01:23:23.560 --> 01:23:29.119 their schedule in spite of having solid cards. Is welcome 1405 01:23:29.199 --> 01:23:34.479 to the TKO era. They're lucky that aw isn't better. 1406 01:23:36.960 --> 01:23:43.479 Diego Vasquez loved the community hard day today got dumped. 1407 01:23:45.039 --> 01:23:50.159 Well that sucks, oh Diego. I'm sorry to hear that. 1408 01:23:50.439 --> 01:23:53.279 I don't know the circumstances behind here or how long 1409 01:23:53.319 --> 01:23:55.960 you were with this person for Maybe it wasn't too long. 1410 01:23:56.039 --> 01:24:01.359 I don't know, but it's a very shitty situation. You 1411 01:24:01.399 --> 01:24:04.640 should be among friends right now. But this too shall pass. 1412 01:24:04.960 --> 01:24:12.319 Just got to give it time. I'm sorry to hear that. Clanger. 1413 01:24:13.600 --> 01:24:16.199 I solo loved the show. Do you remember El Grande 1414 01:24:16.239 --> 01:24:19.680 Americano being escorted with security in front of Chad Gable? 1415 01:24:19.880 --> 01:24:23.159 Who was that meant to be? It was just meant 1416 01:24:23.199 --> 01:24:25.560 to be somebody other than Chad Gable, just to give 1417 01:24:25.600 --> 01:24:30.119 the impression that maybe he wasn't Del Grande Americano. It 1418 01:24:30.159 --> 01:24:42.319 wasn't really intended to be anybody. Nick Grosso, what are 1419 01:24:42.359 --> 01:24:46.079 your thoughts on WWE already talking about turning Blake Monroe heel. 1420 01:24:46.960 --> 01:24:48.720 I think she should have started out as a heel. 1421 01:24:48.800 --> 01:24:51.520 She's been miscast as a face. They should have her 1422 01:24:51.560 --> 01:24:57.960 take the title and the faction from jac. I'm fine 1423 01:24:57.960 --> 01:24:59.760 with them turning her heel. I agree she should have 1424 01:24:59.800 --> 01:25:02.039 been from the word go. I think what happened is 1425 01:25:02.079 --> 01:25:05.239 they figured once she debuts, people look at it cheer 1426 01:25:05.239 --> 01:25:07.399 for her because it's like, oh my god, I can't 1427 01:25:07.399 --> 01:25:09.560 believe she's here. You know, I can't believe she's an NXT. 1428 01:25:10.560 --> 01:25:12.600 So I feel like it's It's like she was never 1429 01:25:12.680 --> 01:25:15.239 really a babyface. It could be one of those things 1430 01:25:15.279 --> 01:25:17.680 where it turns out she was never really a babyface, 1431 01:25:18.640 --> 01:25:20.199 but they just sort of set it up that way 1432 01:25:20.199 --> 01:25:23.399 to establish her. Let people cheer for her because they're 1433 01:25:23.439 --> 01:25:25.880 gonna want to do it anyway, but then show people 1434 01:25:25.920 --> 01:25:29.439 who she really is. And you know what, if she's 1435 01:25:29.479 --> 01:25:32.119 gonna spend some time in NXT, her taking over Fatal 1436 01:25:32.159 --> 01:25:34.079 Influence would not be the worst idea in the world. 1437 01:25:35.520 --> 01:25:43.479 I don't hate that idea. Nico Feliciano. Becky Lynch is 1438 01:25:43.520 --> 01:25:49.119 like a modern day heel Roddy Piper. She mentioned champions 1439 01:25:49.119 --> 01:25:51.520 getting the chances to pick their opponent in her promo 1440 01:25:51.720 --> 01:25:57.159 The hypocrisy. Yeah, she was very upset that EO got 1441 01:25:57.159 --> 01:25:59.680 to pick her challenger and Tiffany Stratton got to pick 1442 01:25:59.720 --> 01:26:02.880 her allnger, but she just gets stuffed into a triple 1443 01:26:02.920 --> 01:26:09.279 threat match against two women. Calling her a modern day 1444 01:26:09.319 --> 01:26:12.319 Roddy Piper, I think might not be the best comparison. 1445 01:26:12.920 --> 01:26:15.800 Beck Becky is very good, but I don't know that 1446 01:26:15.840 --> 01:26:20.880 I would make that same comparison justin g with a 1447 01:26:20.920 --> 01:26:24.720 twenty one. What do you call someone that raises hens 1448 01:26:26.600 --> 01:26:30.840 a chicken tender, rep up those lines A chicken A 1449 01:26:30.960 --> 01:26:37.319 chicken tender. I see what you did there, I see 1450 01:26:37.359 --> 01:26:41.239 what you did there. Did we hit the goal? Yes? 1451 01:26:41.279 --> 01:26:45.880 We did? Wow ten out of ten on the goal. 1452 01:26:45.960 --> 01:26:48.840 We're going to take some phone calls. We'll take a few. 1453 01:26:49.840 --> 01:26:51.720 We haven't done this in a while. I'll throw the 1454 01:26:51.760 --> 01:26:56.119 number up here in a second. It is nine to 1455 01:26:56.119 --> 01:26:58.840 eight nine two, eight to two solo. But the lines 1456 01:26:58.840 --> 01:27:04.039 aren't open yet, So don't do nothing just yet. And 1457 01:27:04.159 --> 01:27:05.319 we gotta be the booker. 1458 01:27:05.039 --> 01:27:05.680 To do as well. 1459 01:27:07.079 --> 01:27:07.319 E J. 1460 01:27:07.520 --> 01:27:10.119 Slimp. I'm going to meet Kurt Angle at the Caine 1461 01:27:10.159 --> 01:27:15.159 County Cougars Minor League baseball game on Thursday. I'm very excited. 1462 01:27:16.960 --> 01:27:22.600 I would be too. That's very cool, the Caine County Cougars. 1463 01:27:23.319 --> 01:27:29.479 Never heard of that team before. Chase richardson what if 1464 01:27:30.600 --> 01:27:33.000 Goldberg wrestled with the hair? 1465 01:27:37.000 --> 01:27:37.520 What hair? 1466 01:27:39.720 --> 01:27:41.840 The last time I saw Goldberg with hair, I think 1467 01:27:41.840 --> 01:27:46.760 he was playing for the Falcons. I mean, if that's 1468 01:27:46.800 --> 01:27:48.880 the hair you're talking about, he was a lot younger 1469 01:27:48.880 --> 01:27:52.800 back then, but he wasn't quite Goldberg yet. Justin g 1470 01:27:53.479 --> 01:27:55.600 That'd be like asking me what if Stone Cold Steve 1471 01:27:55.640 --> 01:28:01.399 Austin had hair? Just wouldn't have worked justin g we 1472 01:28:01.439 --> 01:28:06.720 need Elgrande Americano against El Grande Americana be a great match. 1473 01:28:08.439 --> 01:28:12.479 Dried Chicken say solo, would you consider having a bald cap, 1474 01:28:12.520 --> 01:28:15.680 a goateee and dress up as Walter White on Halloween? 1475 01:28:18.319 --> 01:28:24.800 M probably not a bald cap of go tee and 1476 01:28:24.920 --> 01:28:28.800 maybe a broken skull ipa and pretend to be Stone 1477 01:28:28.840 --> 01:28:35.760 Cold Steve Austin. That might be more topical. Jeremy Rose, 1478 01:28:35.760 --> 01:28:39.199 would wwe benefit of SmackDown and Raw had separate bookers 1479 01:28:39.199 --> 01:28:42.600 with Triple H overseeing both of them. I think it 1480 01:28:42.640 --> 01:28:45.720 would be interesting in that you would have a different 1481 01:28:45.760 --> 01:28:50.399 perspective on each show, But there's so much mixing of 1482 01:28:50.439 --> 01:28:53.079 the two shows, like the brand split doesn't really exist. 1483 01:28:53.680 --> 01:28:56.760 It really doesn't, so they would have to be like 1484 01:28:57.119 --> 01:28:59.880 serious about maintaining a real brand split in that case, 1485 01:29:00.000 --> 01:29:02.319 so that way you don't have too much mixing going on. 1486 01:29:03.800 --> 01:29:06.199 You know, it would be interesting to see how different 1487 01:29:06.239 --> 01:29:08.600 the shows would be if you had two totally different 1488 01:29:08.720 --> 01:29:12.600 or even just somewhat different visions for what one like 1489 01:29:12.680 --> 01:29:15.319 head writer thinks Raw should be and what one head 1490 01:29:15.319 --> 01:29:20.880 writer thinks Smackmasher's and Devin from New Jersey buy Er 1491 01:29:21.000 --> 01:29:24.279 Cell better Austin raw tag match Austin and Michaels against 1492 01:29:24.279 --> 01:29:26.520 Owen Hart and the British Bulldog, or Austin and Triple 1493 01:29:26.640 --> 01:29:31.000 H against Chris Benoi and Chris Jericho. I love both 1494 01:29:31.039 --> 01:29:35.720 of those matches, but the better match is the Jericho 1495 01:29:35.760 --> 01:29:41.439 and Bedewan match. But I love them both. I love 1496 01:29:41.479 --> 01:29:46.600 all the chaos after that first match when the Heart Foundation, 1497 01:29:46.880 --> 01:29:49.560 like right after the pin, the Heart Foundation attacks Austin, 1498 01:29:49.640 --> 01:29:52.880 they attack Michaels. Brett Hard is in his wheelchair all 1499 01:29:52.920 --> 01:29:55.800 by himself on stage. Austin sees him. He runs up 1500 01:29:55.840 --> 01:29:58.840 the ramp, Brett stands up, you can't really go anywhere, 1501 01:29:58.880 --> 01:30:03.319 and Austin just tackles him to the ground. Just mass chaos. 1502 01:30:05.359 --> 01:30:07.840 That was great, But the better match was Austin and 1503 01:30:07.880 --> 01:30:15.399 Triple H against Jericho and Benwell. I will say, all right, 1504 01:30:15.399 --> 01:30:16.880 so this is the number that you see on the 1505 01:30:16.880 --> 01:30:20.000 screen nine eight nine two eight two solo. I believe 1506 01:30:20.000 --> 01:30:23.239 that's seven six five six. Lines aren't open yet. If 1507 01:30:23.239 --> 01:30:25.159 you try calling it, you probably won't be able to 1508 01:30:25.159 --> 01:30:27.600 get through because I haven't. I haven't opened them yet, 1509 01:30:28.319 --> 01:30:30.560 but I will do that right now. But then we'll 1510 01:30:30.600 --> 01:30:33.279 do be the booker and then we'll come back to 1511 01:30:33.399 --> 01:30:35.880 the calls. So I think that's the way that we'll 1512 01:30:36.239 --> 01:30:39.600 we'll do it. It's time to be the booker. 1513 01:30:40.640 --> 01:30:43.479 Ladies and gentlemen, it is now time. 1514 01:30:43.199 --> 01:30:51.159 To be the booker. It is that time. Yes, indeed, 1515 01:30:51.640 --> 01:30:59.960 it is time to be the booker. Oh yes, yes, indeed, 1516 01:31:01.319 --> 01:31:03.600 yes it is. I see the lines were already filled up. 1517 01:31:06.439 --> 01:31:10.000 Ah boy, all right, we get one shot at this. 1518 01:31:12.439 --> 01:31:16.000 We get one shot at this, so let's make it happen. 1519 01:31:16.640 --> 01:31:24.039 We've got the Miss and our Truth. No, no, not 1520 01:31:24.159 --> 01:31:26.399 the team I wanted to start with here and be 1521 01:31:26.479 --> 01:31:33.680 the booker, Miss and our Truth against the good Brothers. 1522 01:31:34.119 --> 01:31:41.720 Oh boy, exciting times here and be the booker. No, 1523 01:31:47.119 --> 01:31:49.760 women's be the booker. We should. We're booking our own 1524 01:31:50.119 --> 01:31:59.319 evolution show here. Hey, Dervid, welcome to the channel. Just 1525 01:31:59.359 --> 01:32:02.039 in time for the booker, Just in time for Victoria, 1526 01:32:02.920 --> 01:32:10.439 former WWE Women's champion, not in the Hall of Fame yet, 1527 01:32:11.079 --> 01:32:18.039 but should be, and it will be Victoria against There 1528 01:32:18.079 --> 01:32:22.359 she is spreading her wings. Look who it is. It is, 1529 01:32:22.439 --> 01:32:30.079 bird girl. It is Lyra Valkyrie, the former Intercontinental Champion, 1530 01:32:31.720 --> 01:32:36.479 Lyra Valkyria and Victoria I think that would have been 1531 01:32:36.520 --> 01:32:41.760 a well worked professional wrestling match. And in our main 1532 01:32:41.800 --> 01:32:55.079 event of the evening we have John Bradshaw Layfield JBL 1533 01:32:56.479 --> 01:33:01.039 is in the main event. Is there going to be 1534 01:33:01.079 --> 01:33:02.640 two rounds to be the booker? No, that was not 1535 01:33:02.720 --> 01:33:05.119 the goal tonight. We changed it up. We had a 1536 01:33:05.119 --> 01:33:11.560 different goal. You get one of each. It's heavily again. 1537 01:33:12.319 --> 01:33:16.840 All right, here we go. We need an opponent for JBL. 1538 01:33:19.479 --> 01:33:28.720 Find out who it's going to be JBL against the 1539 01:33:28.760 --> 01:33:41.359 former WCW World champion David Arquette, m H JBL and 1540 01:33:41.600 --> 01:33:47.800 David Arquette. Even though it was actually an idea suggested 1541 01:33:47.880 --> 01:33:52.840 believe it or not, by Tony Shavani, it did happen 1542 01:33:52.960 --> 01:34:04.720 under the Russo administration. It's Russo has struck again. Well, 1543 01:34:04.720 --> 01:34:07.600 they can't all be winners, now, can they? One out 1544 01:34:07.640 --> 01:34:11.079 of three for be the Booker is pretty fucking bad. 1545 01:34:12.760 --> 01:34:17.880 It's pretty pretty bad. Well, there's always Wednesday, although I 1546 01:34:17.880 --> 01:34:19.479 don't know that we've done be the Booker each of 1547 01:34:19.520 --> 01:34:22.199 the last two Wednesdays. Hopefully things will be a little 1548 01:34:22.199 --> 01:34:24.279 more lively when it comes to aw this week. But 1549 01:34:25.560 --> 01:34:34.359 try again. We'll try again on Wednesday. Thank you guys 1550 01:34:34.680 --> 01:34:37.520 for helping us reach the like school. Let me just 1551 01:34:37.560 --> 01:34:39.199 get through some of these other super chats here and 1552 01:34:39.199 --> 01:34:42.840 then we'll get into some of these calls we have dried. 1553 01:34:42.960 --> 01:34:47.399 Chicken reopened the transfer portal after clash in Paris. I 1554 01:34:47.439 --> 01:34:50.760 thought that they should do it this summer. That way 1555 01:34:50.760 --> 01:34:52.359 they can do another one at the end of the year. 1556 01:34:52.399 --> 01:34:54.680 So you have twice a year, you open the transfer 1557 01:34:54.720 --> 01:34:56.439 portal up for a few weeks and you can move 1558 01:34:56.479 --> 01:35:00.760 people around wherever you want them to be. They didn't 1559 01:35:00.760 --> 01:35:02.359 do that. We didn't get a draft and we didn't 1560 01:35:02.359 --> 01:35:09.760 get a transfer portal. We got bred Hart with forty 1561 01:35:09.840 --> 01:35:13.119 months of channel membership. You are in a bar in 1562 01:35:13.239 --> 01:35:18.199 Japan with Doctor Death, Stan Hansen, Terry, Gordy, Misawa, Kobashi 1563 01:35:18.960 --> 01:35:23.039 and yakuza guys. You have to tell a Sidrow joke 1564 01:35:24.319 --> 01:35:34.359 to make them laugh. But I'm not Sidrow. I'm not Sidrow, 1565 01:35:34.399 --> 01:35:40.319 I'm not Dubs VIDs, so I'd be screwed. How about 1566 01:35:40.359 --> 01:35:42.960 I just buy them all around just to keep them happy, 1567 01:35:43.520 --> 01:35:46.520 you know, telling a joke, a Sidrow joke to the Yakuza, 1568 01:35:46.560 --> 01:35:50.119 I mean that's you know, you're kind of flying a 1569 01:35:50.119 --> 01:35:52.439 little too close to the sun there. You're taking a 1570 01:35:52.439 --> 01:35:54.680 big risk. I would rather just buy you know, some 1571 01:35:55.319 --> 01:36:02.600 around asaki for everybody, keep everybody happy and buzzed. Cameron Spencer. 1572 01:36:02.640 --> 01:36:06.239 I hate deathmatch wrestling fans with a passion. They are bloodthirsty, 1573 01:36:06.279 --> 01:36:13.039 blood sucking vampires. They can f off for liking barbaric matches. 1574 01:36:14.159 --> 01:36:17.960 Not a fan of John Moxley. Are you you mean 1575 01:36:18.079 --> 01:36:22.279 you're not a fan of Nick Gage? Not a fan 1576 01:36:22.319 --> 01:36:29.039 of the Pizza cutter. EJ. Slamp Rest in peace to 1577 01:36:29.119 --> 01:36:31.479 former White Sox closer in two thousand and five World 1578 01:36:31.479 --> 01:36:35.119 Series champion Bobby Jenks, forty four years old from stomach 1579 01:36:35.159 --> 01:36:38.880 cancer and Portugal getting treatment.

Just fantastic. Uh seve m 1589 01:37:21.359 --> 01:37:23.880 my brother once explained that. And by the way, he said, 1590 01:37:23.880 --> 01:37:25.880 the number is the number is not invalid. I know 1591 01:37:25.960 --> 01:37:28.079 that because the lines are all lit up right now. 1592 01:37:28.920 --> 01:37:30.520 But depending on where you are, you may need to 1593 01:37:30.520 --> 01:37:33.840 put a one in front or a country code or 1594 01:37:33.840 --> 01:37:36.079 a one in front of the number. So just be 1595 01:37:36.159 --> 01:37:39.680 aware of that. Uh seve M. My brother once explained 1596 01:37:39.680 --> 01:37:42.720 the Death Riders to me as AAW's bloodline. I said, 1597 01:37:42.760 --> 01:37:46.279 if it was truly Aw's bloodline, Moxley would lose. In 1598 01:37:46.319 --> 01:37:51.199 twenty twenty eight, he screamed, dude, that sounds like something 1599 01:37:51.199 --> 01:37:53.439 I would wake up in a cold sweat from at night. 1600 01:37:55.119 --> 01:38:00.600 Don't even suggest such a thing. And dried chicken jbl 1601 01:38:00.800 --> 01:38:06.680 MJF L Grande and mister America invading Mexico as heels. 1602 01:38:10.239 --> 01:38:17.680 That would get some heat.

But it was a great match 1618 01:39:24.199 --> 01:39:27.680 with a great crowd. Obviously, the injury at the end 1619 01:39:27.800 --> 01:39:32.239 mart it. But it's not talked about for other reasons. 1620 01:39:33.319 --> 01:39:34.520 That's why I downloaded it. 1621 01:39:36.560 --> 01:39:39.159 Yeah, but it's on Peacock though, isn't it wonder it is? 1622 01:39:39.199 --> 01:39:41.000 It is part of the raw episode on Peacock. I 1623 01:39:41.039 --> 01:39:42.239 mean they didn't take it off there. 1624 01:39:45.439 --> 01:39:47.960 I mean taking I think Canada we don't have Peacock. 1625 01:39:48.319 --> 01:39:50.560 Ah, that's right, that's right. 1626 01:39:53.319 --> 01:39:56.079 I just want to ask you what the tag team thing? 1627 01:39:59.119 --> 01:40:05.000 Uh edgend Christian, the Hardys and the Dudley's. Those tag 1628 01:40:05.039 --> 01:40:08.119 teams were over. What is it about tag teams today 1629 01:40:08.199 --> 01:40:11.359 that they're not getting themselves over like those guys were. 1630 01:40:11.920 --> 01:40:14.039 Thank you, sir, Oh, thank you. I appreciate it. I 1631 01:40:14.119 --> 01:40:17.359 appreciate the call. That was the Winston slip, who we 1632 01:40:17.399 --> 01:40:20.039 hear from quite a bit in the super chats here 1633 01:40:20.079 --> 01:40:22.039 on the shows, and he's in the live chat usually 1634 01:40:22.159 --> 01:40:25.680 so great to hear from him. Uh. Yeah, it's a 1635 01:40:25.680 --> 01:40:27.319 great question, and I think a lot of it just 1636 01:40:27.399 --> 01:40:32.439 has to do, frankly, with the lack of attention that 1637 01:40:32.640 --> 01:40:35.239 is generally paid to tag team wrestling. I just don't 1638 01:40:35.239 --> 01:40:38.840 think it gets the spotlight in quite the same way 1639 01:40:38.920 --> 01:40:40.840 that it used to. It doesn't get the same you know, 1640 01:40:40.880 --> 01:40:43.439 attention that it used to. I also think you just 1641 01:40:43.479 --> 01:40:46.720 don't have as many You just don't have as many 1642 01:40:46.760 --> 01:40:51.079 teams that really either come up together over a period 1643 01:40:51.119 --> 01:40:53.920 of many years or that are brought in from other companies. 1644 01:40:53.920 --> 01:40:56.199 Like if the Young Bucks were to leave aw Right 1645 01:40:56.920 --> 01:41:00.520 and come to WWE, that would be a big deal 1646 01:41:00.560 --> 01:41:02.319 of Some people don't like the Young Bucks, right, but 1647 01:41:02.359 --> 01:41:06.279 the Young Bucks have been a team for their entire career. 1648 01:41:06.800 --> 01:41:10.159 They've been a known commodity, you know, everywhere they've gone. 1649 01:41:10.199 --> 01:41:12.880 You drop them in that tag team division with the 1650 01:41:12.920 --> 01:41:15.800 New Day and with the Street Profits and with Phraxium 1651 01:41:15.840 --> 01:41:18.640 and with some of these other teams, and it would 1652 01:41:18.680 --> 01:41:20.880 really freshen things up, you know a lot. If we 1653 01:41:20.920 --> 01:41:22.920 get the Luca brothers one day that you know, they 1654 01:41:23.000 --> 01:41:25.680 end up back together. But like back then, you had 1655 01:41:25.720 --> 01:41:28.319 the Heart Foundation and the Legion of Doom and Demolition 1656 01:41:28.640 --> 01:41:32.560 and arnt In Tully and the Rougeos and edgend Christian 1657 01:41:32.640 --> 01:41:35.479 and the Hardy's and the Dudleys. There just was more 1658 01:41:35.520 --> 01:41:39.960 of an emphasis on real tag teams, not not makeshift 1659 01:41:39.960 --> 01:41:42.399 teams so much, but real tag teams, you know, that 1660 01:41:42.479 --> 01:41:46.439 are together for a long period of time and they 1661 01:41:46.560 --> 01:41:48.680 build up a name for themselves. I mean, that's how 1662 01:41:48.720 --> 01:41:51.680 the Hardys got so popular. That's how the Dudley's got popular, 1663 01:41:51.760 --> 01:41:55.119 That's how the Road Warriors got popular. You don't see 1664 01:41:55.119 --> 01:41:58.119 that as much in wrestling today. You had it with 1665 01:41:58.159 --> 01:42:01.600 the Briscos and Ring of Honor, you have it with 1666 01:42:01.640 --> 01:42:03.640 the Bucks, you had it with the Lucha Bros. You 1667 01:42:03.680 --> 01:42:07.159 can find some teams here and there, some of them 1668 01:42:07.159 --> 01:42:11.119 are not together anymore, but it's just it's not the same. 1669 01:42:11.239 --> 01:42:15.079 The same level of focus is just not you know, 1670 01:42:15.239 --> 01:42:17.720 on tag team wrestling as much as it used to be. 1671 01:42:18.560 --> 01:42:21.920 And those teams prove that tag team wrestling it can be. 1672 01:42:22.039 --> 01:42:23.239 I mean, it can be a lot of fun, but 1673 01:42:23.279 --> 01:42:25.640 I feel like it can draw. But you have to 1674 01:42:25.680 --> 01:42:28.239 have the right teams to draw, and you have to 1675 01:42:28.279 --> 01:42:30.720 tell the right stories and put the focus on them, 1676 01:42:30.760 --> 01:42:32.359 and they just don't do it. I don't think they 1677 01:42:32.399 --> 01:42:36.239 look at tag team wrestling as something that can really draw, 1678 01:42:37.960 --> 01:42:39.920 you know, I mean, and it took a long time 1679 01:42:39.960 --> 01:42:41.520 to get to a point where they felt that way 1680 01:42:41.560 --> 01:42:43.960 about women's wrestling. And I'm not even sure they've convinced 1681 01:42:43.960 --> 01:42:46.359 themselves that women's wrestling can draw in the same way 1682 01:42:46.399 --> 01:42:49.439 the men can, just based on the way that it's promoted. 1683 01:42:50.520 --> 01:42:53.399 But that's the best answer I can give you. I mean, 1684 01:42:53.439 --> 01:42:57.640 it's just you don't have those same caliber of teams today, 1685 01:42:58.319 --> 01:43:01.000 and therefore the attention not paid to it like he 1686 01:43:01.119 --> 01:43:04.319 used to be. Yeah, We're put it this way. We're 1687 01:43:04.359 --> 01:43:09.359 not in a tag team renaissance era right now. I 1688 01:43:09.399 --> 01:43:11.439 feel like we were kind of in the earlier days 1689 01:43:11.479 --> 01:43:13.479 of AW there were a lot of great teams all 1690 01:43:13.520 --> 01:43:15.680 at once in that division. But it hasn't It just 1691 01:43:15.680 --> 01:43:18.880 hasn't been that way, you know, in a long time. 1692 01:43:21.359 --> 01:43:27.000 Let's go to two two zero. Who am I talking to? 1693 01:43:28.119 --> 01:43:31.000 This is a little phone call from official GTA. It's 1694 01:43:31.000 --> 01:43:32.840 going on not much. 1695 01:43:33.079 --> 01:43:35.680 I'm glad you can hop on and join us here. 1696 01:43:35.720 --> 01:43:36.279 What's going on? 1697 01:43:39.039 --> 01:43:42.560 Not too much. I do want to ask you this, so. 1698 01:43:44.960 --> 01:43:48.319 It may be an unpopular opinion that people don't agree. 1699 01:43:49.479 --> 01:43:53.359 But I think the SmackDown tag team division is probably 1700 01:43:53.359 --> 01:43:56.399 as the passes Benson's two thousand two, two thousand three. 1701 01:43:59.039 --> 01:44:01.800 I don't think that's no. I don't think that's an 1702 01:44:01.840 --> 01:44:06.960 unpopular opinion. I mean, but I also feel like it's 1703 01:44:07.000 --> 01:44:09.279 it's kind of a bad thing too, because if you 1704 01:44:09.319 --> 01:44:13.520 think about it, making that statement just illustrates how how 1705 01:44:14.119 --> 01:44:16.920 poorly you know, we we have had that tag team 1706 01:44:16.920 --> 01:44:18.800 division built up in the year since then. 1707 01:44:25.840 --> 01:44:26.079 I have. 1708 01:44:27.600 --> 01:44:30.680 Shocked him with my comments. He is speechless. He doesn't 1709 01:44:30.720 --> 01:44:34.840 know what to say. 1710 01:44:35.760 --> 01:44:37.920 I think there was only like three or four real 1711 01:44:37.960 --> 01:44:39.920 teams on the role, if I'm not mistaken. 1712 01:44:40.279 --> 01:44:43.159 Yeah, yeah, yeah, they didn't have a lot They didn't 1713 01:44:43.159 --> 01:44:46.520 have a lot of of They just didn't have a 1714 01:44:46.560 --> 01:44:49.119 lot of emphasis on the raw tag ting division there 1715 01:44:49.119 --> 01:44:51.720 for a long time. But no, look, I mean I again, 1716 01:44:51.840 --> 01:44:55.760 I yeah, yeah, now, look, I mean I I think 1717 01:44:55.800 --> 01:44:59.279 that that comment that you made, it's I I don't 1718 01:44:59.319 --> 01:45:01.520 disagree with the I don't think it's a hot take, 1719 01:45:02.880 --> 01:45:05.119 but it just goes to illustrate the point that you know, 1720 01:45:05.159 --> 01:45:09.039 the other caller made. Where where is the emphasis on 1721 01:45:09.079 --> 01:45:12.439 the tag team division in the last ten fifteen years, 1722 01:45:12.520 --> 01:45:16.279 you know, prior to today and even today to some extent, 1723 01:45:16.319 --> 01:45:20.159 where is that attention? You know? Where where was that? 1724 01:45:21.199 --> 01:45:23.640 How come we can look back on even the SmackDown 1725 01:45:23.720 --> 01:45:26.560 six era, there were some solid teams on SmackDown back then. 1726 01:45:26.560 --> 01:45:29.279 When you look at Los Guerrero's and the World's Greatest 1727 01:45:29.279 --> 01:45:33.119 Tag Team and Paul London and Brian Kendrick and there 1728 01:45:33.119 --> 01:45:37.640 were others as well. You know, why was there such 1729 01:45:37.680 --> 01:45:40.000 a gap where if you were to ask me about 1730 01:45:40.039 --> 01:45:43.119 tag teams in two thousand and six or tag teams 1731 01:45:43.119 --> 01:45:48.319 in WWE in twenty thirteen, you know, like I don't 1732 01:45:48.359 --> 01:45:51.439 recall there being some big tag team wrestling boom during 1733 01:45:51.439 --> 01:45:54.560 that period, you know, And I don't know why. Somewhere 1734 01:45:54.560 --> 01:45:58.520 along the way we kind of we kind of lost that. 1735 01:45:58.720 --> 01:46:04.960 But it's just the way it is. Four oh five. 1736 01:46:05.399 --> 01:46:06.039 You're on the air. 1737 01:46:09.319 --> 01:46:09.720 Can heard me? 1738 01:46:10.039 --> 01:46:10.720 I can hear you? 1739 01:46:13.640 --> 01:46:18.000 Okay, Yeah, this is uh being Zacharia Sittion. I'm always 1740 01:46:18.000 --> 01:46:19.840 comming it some from time to time. 1741 01:46:20.359 --> 01:46:22.920 Zachari. Yeah, I know, Zacharia. Well how are you doing, sir? 1742 01:46:24.760 --> 01:46:29.399 So I'm doing good. Uh. I just kind of wanted 1743 01:46:29.439 --> 01:46:35.079 to ask, like, what is like, what is up? 1744 01:46:35.079 --> 01:46:38.279 With like this is it is it just like because 1745 01:46:38.279 --> 01:46:41.840 it's summer, and like they had a lackluster just like 1746 01:46:41.880 --> 01:46:47.720 a anti climatic WrestleMania, like the Rock coming in and 1747 01:46:47.800 --> 01:46:52.880 just kind of ruining stuff and like the whole Seal 1748 01:46:52.960 --> 01:46:57.520 Me your Soul just didn't go anywhere, and then we 1749 01:46:57.560 --> 01:47:00.000 all we heard was fend for like fifteen minutes. 1750 01:47:07.119 --> 01:47:09.800 Yeah, it was pretty bad. It's pretty bad, you know. 1751 01:47:09.920 --> 01:47:13.239 I think it's a combination of different things. I also 1752 01:47:13.279 --> 01:47:17.119 feel like they are still coasting business wise. You know, 1753 01:47:17.159 --> 01:47:20.079 they're still selling out arenas and they're still doing really well. 1754 01:47:21.039 --> 01:47:23.159 And I think part of it maybe is the fact 1755 01:47:23.199 --> 01:47:25.399 that they feel like they don't they're not being challenged 1756 01:47:25.399 --> 01:47:29.239 in any way. So I feel like if they if 1757 01:47:29.239 --> 01:47:31.680 they were in a position where business maybe wasn't quite 1758 01:47:31.720 --> 01:47:34.560 as good, or if they were actually getting competition from somebody, 1759 01:47:35.439 --> 01:47:37.680 that's when they're at their best, you know. And now 1760 01:47:37.680 --> 01:47:39.319 it's almost like, all right, we'll give you what we 1761 01:47:39.399 --> 01:47:42.119 give you when you're gonna like it, that that kind 1762 01:47:42.159 --> 01:47:44.640 of attitude. Also, the summer does tend to be a 1763 01:47:44.680 --> 01:47:47.439 little slower, but you would think, you know, WrestleMania, that 1764 01:47:47.479 --> 01:47:50.199 main event and everything was so freaking horrible, like they 1765 01:47:50.199 --> 01:47:53.960 would really put their best effort in because we're heading 1766 01:47:53.960 --> 01:47:57.039 into Summer Slam, which is two nights. Summer Slam is 1767 01:47:57.079 --> 01:48:00.000 less than a month away, and they really have it 1768 01:48:00.560 --> 01:48:03.279 started promoting that. I mean, we know who won King 1769 01:48:03.319 --> 01:48:05.159 of the Ring and Queen of the Rings, so like 1770 01:48:05.239 --> 01:48:09.199 we know that. I just hope the SummerSlam build can 1771 01:48:09.239 --> 01:48:12.960 get me excited in a way that right now I'm 1772 01:48:12.960 --> 01:48:15.600 not terribly excited by a lot you know that's going on. 1773 01:48:16.079 --> 01:48:18.960 Hopefully that will change as the card comes together because 1774 01:48:18.960 --> 01:48:21.159 SummerSlam is their second biggest event of the year, so 1775 01:48:21.920 --> 01:48:23.920 I mean, we'll see, it's the first two nights Summer Slam. 1776 01:48:23.920 --> 01:48:27.640 They're gonna have to put two full cards together. I 1777 01:48:27.680 --> 01:48:30.000 hope they can get me excited. And you don't need 1778 01:48:30.039 --> 01:48:32.399 the rock to get people excited. You just got to 1779 01:48:32.399 --> 01:48:36.279 give people, you know, good matches, good stories, give them 1780 01:48:36.319 --> 01:48:40.359 a reason to get excited. Jelly Roll being on SmackDown 1781 01:48:40.359 --> 01:48:43.319 this Friday and possibly having a match at SummerSlam does 1782 01:48:43.359 --> 01:48:44.319 not get me excited. 1783 01:48:46.560 --> 01:48:48.479 And that's the kind of the direction I kind of 1784 01:48:48.479 --> 01:48:51.840 hate is just you have they're doing, like you know, 1785 01:48:51.880 --> 01:48:56.399 they're saying record gates, record Gates be it. They're they're 1786 01:48:56.439 --> 01:49:01.880 not putting in like real fans that you know, will 1787 01:49:02.439 --> 01:49:08.039 chant that will well, I mean, you know, just react. 1788 01:49:07.439 --> 01:49:09.840 You get that sometime, Like tonight, the crowd they had 1789 01:49:09.840 --> 01:49:11.880 in Providence was a great crowd. I wish they had 1790 01:49:11.920 --> 01:49:14.640 crowds like that, you know, more often. So I wouldn't 1791 01:49:14.640 --> 01:49:16.920 say they don't have that at all, but you do, 1792 01:49:17.319 --> 01:49:20.199 you do sometimes with these shows you do have, you know, 1793 01:49:20.319 --> 01:49:22.920 crowds like that where maybe they're not as loud because 1794 01:49:23.279 --> 01:49:25.800 the people who were able to afford the kinds of 1795 01:49:26.359 --> 01:49:29.279 you know, prices that they're charging for these tickets, I 1796 01:49:29.279 --> 01:49:31.479 don't know, you know, what kind of people they're bringing 1797 01:49:31.479 --> 01:49:34.159 into these shows. Sometimes there definitely are people who are 1798 01:49:34.159 --> 01:49:37.039 priced out, who you know, used to go to shows 1799 01:49:37.079 --> 01:49:39.880 and can't go anymore. So these people that are buying 1800 01:49:39.880 --> 01:49:44.159 these tickets, I don't know if they're like diehard WWE fans, 1801 01:49:44.199 --> 01:49:46.840 if they're casual fans, if they're if I don't know. 1802 01:49:47.159 --> 01:49:51.399 I feel like it's potentially changing the makeup of you know, 1803 01:49:51.479 --> 01:49:54.560 some of these audiences. But I still feel like at 1804 01:49:54.560 --> 01:49:57.880 the end of the day, you give people a product 1805 01:49:58.119 --> 01:50:01.319 and a show that they can really invest in and 1806 01:50:01.319 --> 01:50:05.319 get excited about and the crowds will reward you. You know, 1807 01:50:05.520 --> 01:50:07.239 you can't just blame it. I don't want to blame 1808 01:50:07.279 --> 01:50:10.239 it on the crowds all the time, because it comes 1809 01:50:10.279 --> 01:50:12.319 down to the product. It comes down to triple H 1810 01:50:12.399 --> 01:50:16.000 and creative. And you know what, sometimes the shows are 1811 01:50:16.039 --> 01:50:18.800 just boring, and if I were in the building, I 1812 01:50:18.840 --> 01:50:22.319 wouldn't be I wouldn't be singing and chanting and cheering 1813 01:50:22.319 --> 01:50:25.039 for anything either, because you know, I might be bored 1814 01:50:25.039 --> 01:50:27.399 to tears. So you still have to give people, you know, 1815 01:50:27.439 --> 01:50:30.680 a show that they can get excited about. But Zachary, 1816 01:50:31.000 --> 01:50:33.760 I appreciate the call very much. Good to hear your voice. 1817 01:50:34.439 --> 01:50:36.439 I want to try to get to uh a few 1818 01:50:36.439 --> 01:50:38.920 other people here before it gets too late, So I'm 1819 01:50:38.920 --> 01:50:41.279 going to bounce around a little bit here. Let me 1820 01:50:42.479 --> 01:50:45.319 let me go to eight one o eight one. Oh 1821 01:50:45.359 --> 01:50:48.319 you're on the air. Who is this? 1822 01:50:48.800 --> 01:50:49.000 Yeah? 1823 01:50:50.439 --> 01:50:54.279 Who is who is this? El Juggalo? 1824 01:50:54.439 --> 01:50:59.000 Okay, oh yeah, yeah, I did just see what happened 1825 01:50:59.119 --> 01:51:03.359 early night on Lunacy. Turns out, it turns out GCW 1826 01:51:03.479 --> 01:51:06.000 decided invade, and oddly enough is going to be interesting 1827 01:51:06.439 --> 01:51:09.600 for certain as they're building up towards the gathering, this summer, 1828 01:51:10.000 --> 01:51:12.479 which is gonna be on pay per view two days 1829 01:51:12.720 --> 01:51:14.199 August fifteenth and sixteenth. 1830 01:51:14.239 --> 01:51:16.119 I believe it is that time of year, isn't it. 1831 01:51:18.119 --> 01:51:21.159 Oh yeah, oh yeah, it's definitely that time of year, 1832 01:51:21.279 --> 01:51:25.800 of course.

They 1843 01:51:50.239 --> 01:51:53.399 usually are on Thursdays, but they decided for some reason 1844 01:51:53.479 --> 01:51:55.680 the air on a Monday night. 1845 01:51:57.600 --> 01:51:58.479 Anyways, I might as. 1846 01:51:58.399 --> 01:52:00.079 Well go ahead and say this very about it. 1847 01:52:00.079 --> 01:52:03.079 It comes in the great so oh. 1848 01:52:04.439 --> 01:52:07.119 I remember, I remember that song very well.

I 1854 01:52:21.520 --> 01:52:23.920 can't match to that. Let me go to four four 1855 01:52:24.000 --> 01:52:25.640 three here. I want you to try to get as 1856 01:52:25.640 --> 01:52:30.479 many people in here as I can. Four four three, Yes, 1857 01:52:31.319 --> 01:52:32.800 you hear me, I can hear you. Who am I 1858 01:52:32.840 --> 01:52:33.319 speaking with? 1859 01:52:34.760 --> 01:52:35.079 Great? 1860 01:52:35.279 --> 01:52:39.000 This is Spriggs, first time caller of long time. I 1861 01:52:39.039 --> 01:52:42.520 guess subscriber. I just I can watch in the streams 1862 01:52:42.880 --> 01:52:44.880 and then, uh, you know the stuff you quit your 1863 01:52:44.920 --> 01:52:47.199 post from the podcast. I don't really I'm not too 1864 01:52:47.279 --> 01:52:51.279 active in chat too much. I don't know how much 1865 01:52:51.319 --> 01:52:52.560 time I got I want to make. I want to 1866 01:52:52.560 --> 01:52:54.439 make this short and know your bounce around. 1867 01:52:54.239 --> 01:52:59.079 Right, yeah yeah, yeah, yeah. 1868 01:52:59.119 --> 01:53:02.520 So the question can concerns the I guess the current 1869 01:53:02.560 --> 01:53:06.880 state of training for the women's division. This is this 1870 01:53:06.920 --> 01:53:11.279 is for both companies a W and WWE. Right, So 1871 01:53:11.520 --> 01:53:15.199 we look at someone like Jade Cargill. I watched an 1872 01:53:15.239 --> 01:53:19.319 interview she did on the Sam Roberts Raw After Show, 1873 01:53:20.439 --> 01:53:23.600 and she was talking about, you know, she's very much 1874 01:53:23.600 --> 01:53:26.920 aware of her criticism that she is getting online and 1875 01:53:27.000 --> 01:53:31.039 her performance and things like that, and she was saying like, yeah, 1876 01:53:31.159 --> 01:53:34.720 like I have people that I call, you know, and 1877 01:53:34.720 --> 01:53:37.039 they'll tell me what I did right or what they 1878 01:53:37.079 --> 01:53:40.000 did wrong, one of those people being Terry Taylor, because 1879 01:53:40.039 --> 01:53:42.600 one of the big people there at Triple H looked 1880 01:53:43.000 --> 01:53:43.720 looked underrets. 1881 01:53:45.600 --> 01:53:47.439 My thing is this, she. 1882 01:53:47.479 --> 01:53:51.479 Spent a good time in AW and I don't know. 1883 01:53:51.479 --> 01:53:53.600 What they did over there to train her to. 1884 01:53:53.840 --> 01:53:57.239 Get her ready for rates or the like thereof. 1885 01:53:57.720 --> 01:54:02.720 Her coming into WWE. It's things are showing, right, So 1886 01:54:02.840 --> 01:54:08.079 my question is what is the process of training for 1887 01:54:08.239 --> 01:54:10.439 for certain women in these because like, she's been in 1888 01:54:10.439 --> 01:54:13.199 the business for five years and still you. 1889 01:54:13.119 --> 01:54:15.560 Know, she's still a novice, as she said in one 1890 01:54:15.560 --> 01:54:18.840 of the streams versus Alia Vega, who's probably been there 1891 01:54:18.880 --> 01:54:21.840 play eight to ten years, who would say probably a 1892 01:54:21.960 --> 01:54:22.680 lunger level. 1893 01:54:24.159 --> 01:54:27.000 Yeah, I mean it's different for each person though, So 1894 01:54:27.159 --> 01:54:30.319 like for Jade, I don't know who was directly responsible 1895 01:54:30.399 --> 01:54:33.560 for training her, but I know you might remember this. 1896 01:54:33.600 --> 01:54:37.079 There were reports in aw where she was training before 1897 01:54:37.159 --> 01:54:41.720 shows or after shows with Brian Danielson, and Danielson was 1898 01:54:41.920 --> 01:54:43.760 having some one on one time with her. I don't 1899 01:54:43.800 --> 01:54:45.680 know if that means he trained her, but he was 1900 01:54:45.720 --> 01:54:48.560 definitely showing her some things, and I mean, what better 1901 01:54:48.600 --> 01:54:51.439 person to learn from than him. I don't know what 1902 01:54:51.560 --> 01:54:55.279 her actual training look like though, because it's not like 1903 01:54:55.359 --> 01:54:59.399 AW has a school, it's not like there's a training program. 1904 01:54:59.680 --> 01:55:02.880 So with WWE, they have a performance center, and I 1905 01:55:03.039 --> 01:55:06.039 just thought, well, there's probably very little chance of her 1906 01:55:06.399 --> 01:55:09.680 going through there first because she looks like this, this megastar. 1907 01:55:09.720 --> 01:55:11.800 They're going to want to put her on TV right away. 1908 01:55:12.319 --> 01:55:14.319 But if you think about it, that's what the performance 1909 01:55:14.359 --> 01:55:17.560 center is for, Like it's Taylor made for someone like her, 1910 01:55:18.239 --> 01:55:21.439 And I think it was something it didn't help her 1911 01:55:21.520 --> 01:55:23.760 cause to bring her in the way they did and 1912 01:55:23.800 --> 01:55:26.920 not have her kind of run through that system first, 1913 01:55:27.039 --> 01:55:29.000 and I think it's showing. I think that would have 1914 01:55:29.079 --> 01:55:33.439 been the place to really either start her or you know, 1915 01:55:33.439 --> 01:55:35.640 at least maybe on like off days or whatever, have 1916 01:55:35.760 --> 01:55:40.960 her doing training or drills or whatever what she's been 1917 01:55:41.000 --> 01:55:43.800 doing there, like when they shot the angle where they 1918 01:55:44.159 --> 01:55:48.439 injured her. To my knowledge, she was doing training in 1919 01:55:48.439 --> 01:55:52.359 those months after how much training, how many days a week, 1920 01:55:52.479 --> 01:55:55.920 what that looked like, I don't know, but I still 1921 01:55:55.920 --> 01:55:58.800 feel like when she first started, that's really what she 1922 01:55:58.920 --> 01:56:02.680 needed and she probably didn't get enough of that, and 1923 01:56:02.760 --> 01:56:05.560 it shows, I mean, and also some people just pick 1924 01:56:05.600 --> 01:56:08.079 it up and some people don't. And I don't know 1925 01:56:08.119 --> 01:56:10.359 that she ever has to know. Yeah, look, I mean, 1926 01:56:10.359 --> 01:56:12.720 she doesn't have to be EO Sky. I'm not saying 1927 01:56:12.720 --> 01:56:15.319 that she has to be technically the best on the roster. 1928 01:56:16.079 --> 01:56:17.760 But all she needs to do is just get to 1929 01:56:17.800 --> 01:56:21.319 a point where she knows the fundamental she can go 1930 01:56:21.359 --> 01:56:24.600 out there with anybody and have a good match, and 1931 01:56:24.640 --> 01:56:26.600 the rest of it is just going to be charisma 1932 01:56:26.680 --> 01:56:29.600 and her look and everything else that goes into what 1933 01:56:29.720 --> 01:56:32.960 makes her a star. And she's still not there yet, 1934 01:56:33.079 --> 01:56:35.600 and you know, hopefully she'll get there because she looks 1935 01:56:35.640 --> 01:56:37.840 the part. But my god, I mean I'm watching that 1936 01:56:37.880 --> 01:56:40.880 match in Saudi with her and Osca and it was like, 1937 01:56:41.920 --> 01:56:44.079 you know, good luck to Osca because this is this 1938 01:56:44.159 --> 01:56:44.880 is rough. 1939 01:56:46.279 --> 01:56:48.199 You notice this, right, And there was two matches. It 1940 01:56:48.279 --> 01:56:50.279 was that match in the match she did on SmackDown 1941 01:56:50.760 --> 01:56:56.079 where both times her opponent targeted her leg but she 1942 01:56:56.199 --> 01:56:57.720 still did a kipop. 1943 01:56:58.000 --> 01:57:01.439 I pointed that out. Yeah no, no, did I pointed 1944 01:57:01.479 --> 01:57:04.359 that out. I pointed that out of my review. I said, 1945 01:57:04.399 --> 01:57:06.199 you know, she was selling the leg and then she 1946 01:57:06.239 --> 01:57:08.399 does a freaking kip up. I go, boy, that's that's 1947 01:57:08.479 --> 01:57:10.720 quite a move to do when you're selling an injured leg. 1948 01:57:12.199 --> 01:57:15.079 Yeah, Michael Coley pointed that out, But yeah, bro, it 1949 01:57:15.119 --> 01:57:16.880 probably has come down to that. And then like, yeah, 1950 01:57:16.920 --> 01:57:20.399 I also thinking to account her age. She's in her thirties. 1951 01:57:20.560 --> 01:57:23.359 This isn't this isn't like someone yet coming fresh that's 1952 01:57:23.439 --> 01:57:24.600 just coming in in her twenties. 1953 01:57:24.640 --> 01:57:26.159 And you can get because I think, yeah, with. 1954 01:57:26.199 --> 01:57:29.000 Age, I think things you can pick up things a 1955 01:57:29.000 --> 01:57:31.640 lot easier. But I think she's in the time where, yeah, 1956 01:57:31.680 --> 01:57:34.039 she spent a lot of time being an athlete doing 1957 01:57:34.079 --> 01:57:36.600 whatever she was doing, and now she's doing this wrestling thing, 1958 01:57:37.159 --> 01:57:40.359 and it's just she's probably a slower learner and it 1959 01:57:40.399 --> 01:57:42.239 is what it is. But you know, I would think 1960 01:57:42.279 --> 01:57:45.920 they would understand. But you know, we know this is 1961 01:57:45.920 --> 01:57:48.479 a very aesthetic business. The look is what's getting her 1962 01:57:48.479 --> 01:57:49.960 the push. It is what it is. 1963 01:57:50.039 --> 01:57:51.920 Yeah, and look, they're going to have more patience with 1964 01:57:51.960 --> 01:57:54.279 her than they would have for the average person. So 1965 01:57:54.600 --> 01:57:56.920 I think pretty much, yeah, she's going to be a 1966 01:57:56.920 --> 01:57:59.560 star no matter what. Whether or not her experience level 1967 01:57:59.600 --> 01:58:02.680 will ever, you know, get much higher than where it 1968 01:58:02.720 --> 01:58:05.520 is now. I don't know, I don't know, but I 1969 01:58:06.119 --> 01:58:09.159 don't think that she's going to fail. Let's put it 1970 01:58:09.159 --> 01:58:11.920 that way they're going to make sure that they Yeah, 1971 01:58:11.920 --> 01:58:13.560 they take her and they take her as far as 1972 01:58:13.560 --> 01:58:13.960 they can. 1973 01:58:16.399 --> 01:58:17.960 All right, Yeah, that was my question. 1974 01:58:18.079 --> 01:58:18.720 Appreciate it. 1975 01:58:19.039 --> 01:58:24.279 Appreciated streams tuned in when I can. Yeah, you got 1976 01:58:24.279 --> 01:58:27.600 me back in wrestling, because what was the last show 1977 01:58:27.680 --> 01:58:28.159 I went to? 1978 01:58:28.880 --> 01:58:30.000 Was? 1979 01:58:30.159 --> 01:58:30.880 Yeah, because I'm. 1980 01:58:30.760 --> 01:58:33.960 From Baltimore, and yeah, it was the No Mercy show 1981 01:58:34.279 --> 01:58:37.319 with Undertaker and Kurt Angles. The main event was the 1982 01:58:37.399 --> 01:58:42.439 last show I went to. And yeah, since then, yeah, 1983 01:58:42.600 --> 01:58:44.960 I haven't gone back in, but yeah you watched. Yeah 1984 01:58:45.000 --> 01:58:47.880 you got me back in. I mean, I still I 1985 01:58:47.880 --> 01:58:49.720 still can't really get into a showcause getting tickets a 1986 01:58:49.720 --> 01:58:50.800 pretty ridiculous. 1987 01:58:50.439 --> 01:58:53.960 Bus Well, of course, well I'm telling you the AW 1988 01:58:54.079 --> 01:58:55.119 tickets are a lot cheaper. 1989 01:58:56.720 --> 01:58:57.399 Yeah, you're right. 1990 01:58:57.840 --> 01:59:00.359 They've showing up the both Actually they can in your 1991 01:59:00.359 --> 01:59:00.760 shoe show. 1992 01:59:00.880 --> 01:59:03.600 I'm just saying that's one thing that AW. If I'm them, 1993 01:59:03.359 --> 01:59:06.239 I'm I'm leaning into that, you know, as far as like, hey, 1994 01:59:06.479 --> 01:59:07.960 if you want to go to a wrestling show and 1995 01:59:08.000 --> 01:59:10.399 not take out a second mortgage in your house, come 1996 01:59:10.439 --> 01:59:11.199 see AAW. 1997 01:59:11.600 --> 01:59:14.600 Yeah, yeah, you got a good night, Tellee. 1998 01:59:14.640 --> 01:59:16.880 All right, you too, thank you for the call. It's 1999 01:59:16.920 --> 01:59:19.199 true though, I said this on the podcast this weekend 2000 01:59:19.199 --> 01:59:22.560 when I was talking about AAW and somebody asked about 2001 01:59:22.560 --> 01:59:25.720 the ratings, and so I was talking about how, you know, 2002 01:59:25.800 --> 01:59:28.199 one issue is that they're still running these smaller venues. 2003 01:59:28.239 --> 01:59:30.359 Why did they move into the smaller venues If they're 2004 01:59:30.359 --> 01:59:33.039 doing so great, they need to work their way back 2005 01:59:33.079 --> 01:59:36.880 up to doing bigger buildings at some point. And you 2006 01:59:36.920 --> 01:59:40.000 know the fact is, like right now, one advantage if 2007 01:59:40.039 --> 01:59:43.199 you're a fan, one advantage as far as AW compared 2008 01:59:43.239 --> 01:59:47.199 to WWE is that you can actually afford a lot 2009 01:59:47.239 --> 01:59:49.399 easier going to an AW show. So if you want 2010 01:59:49.399 --> 01:59:51.840 to go to a wrestling show, that is going to 2011 01:59:51.880 --> 01:59:54.319 be a lot easier. It'll be more accessible to you 2012 01:59:54.960 --> 01:59:57.319 than WWE would be for a lot of people today 2013 01:59:57.359 --> 02:00:00.079 because it is just cost prohibitive, especially if you're a 2014 02:00:00.119 --> 02:00:02.640 family and you're going with multiple people. If I'm them, 2015 02:00:02.680 --> 02:00:06.079 I'm leaning into that. I'm leaning into the affordability edge. 2016 02:00:06.079 --> 02:00:09.199 I'm not marketing it as hey, we're cheaper than w WE. 2017 02:00:09.319 --> 02:00:11.600 Never use that word. You don't use the word cheap, 2018 02:00:12.079 --> 02:00:15.159 use the word inexpensive. Uh, you know you can use it, 2019 02:00:15.199 --> 02:00:17.000 you know, less costly. Whatever you want to come up 2020 02:00:17.039 --> 02:00:19.720 with don't call yourself cheap. But they should lean into that, 2021 02:00:20.159 --> 02:00:21.760 you know, I don't. I don't know that they're they're 2022 02:00:21.800 --> 02:00:24.319 doing enough of that. All right, let's take a few 2023 02:00:24.359 --> 02:00:27.880 more and then we'll bounce on out of here. Let's 2024 02:00:27.920 --> 02:00:30.439 go to three six. 2025 02:00:30.600 --> 02:00:35.279 Zero by all the monster, Justin G. 2026 02:00:35.399 --> 02:00:35.880 How are you doing? 2027 02:00:36.000 --> 02:00:38.399 Hey, Justin G. Good to hear from you. 2028 02:00:40.359 --> 02:00:40.560 Yeah. 2029 02:00:40.640 --> 02:00:42.720 I almost apologize for the chicken tender joke. 2030 02:00:45.079 --> 02:00:45.479 Forget it. 2031 02:00:45.560 --> 02:00:49.840 I actually had to be on that ben Wan jerco 2032 02:00:49.960 --> 02:00:55.079 versus the two Jerk or not Jericho. Sorry, it's long 2033 02:00:55.199 --> 02:00:59.199 night with Austin inter against the two Christ's. I was 2034 02:00:59.239 --> 02:01:02.000 actually good for behind the commentary. So I actually got 2035 02:01:02.079 --> 02:01:05.399 saw wow, not exactly the triple eight injury, but I 2036 02:01:05.479 --> 02:01:08.840 got to see the hamstring in the wall. So that 2037 02:01:08.880 --> 02:01:09.359 was pretty rough. 2038 02:01:09.479 --> 02:01:11.439 Yeah, because that's right, because that was that was on 2039 02:01:11.479 --> 02:01:12.880 top of the announced desk. That's right. 2040 02:01:14.880 --> 02:01:17.840 Yeah, so that was kind of scary but also kind 2041 02:01:17.840 --> 02:01:20.760 of awesome. But I was kind of scary. I know, 2042 02:01:21.079 --> 02:01:23.159 time is money and times important. So I guess my 2043 02:01:23.279 --> 02:01:26.239 question is favorite two matches out of Japan. 2044 02:01:27.399 --> 02:01:33.199 Ooh, you know, I hate to use the same match twice, 2045 02:01:33.359 --> 02:01:35.439 but how can I not go with a couple of 2046 02:01:35.439 --> 02:01:39.720 those Omega and Okada matches. I mean, those were honestly 2047 02:01:39.760 --> 02:01:42.479 some of the best matches I've ever seen, So I 2048 02:01:42.640 --> 02:01:46.520 probably would go. I probably would go. The last one, 2049 02:01:46.600 --> 02:01:48.279 I guess was the two out of three falls one 2050 02:01:49.159 --> 02:01:54.119 and then the sixty minute one. Those probably would be 2051 02:01:54.119 --> 02:01:57.720 the two honestly, because I just talked about this actually 2052 02:01:57.720 --> 02:01:59.720 when I was talking about all in this weekend, how 2053 02:02:00.239 --> 02:02:02.880 those truly are Those are some of the best matches 2054 02:02:02.920 --> 02:02:06.159 that I've ever seen, and as long as they were, 2055 02:02:06.399 --> 02:02:08.439 I was never bored watching them. 2056 02:02:11.359 --> 02:02:14.520 Yeah, I think the last Omeha and Lucy match for 2057 02:02:14.640 --> 02:02:18.600 me and silly as the towns Muta versus Hogan, I 2058 02:02:18.600 --> 02:02:19.680 think those will be my keys. 2059 02:02:20.119 --> 02:02:24.439 Yeah, Muda versus Hogan wasn't. It wasn't the best for me, 2060 02:02:24.600 --> 02:02:27.000 but like it was a revelation if you had not 2061 02:02:27.199 --> 02:02:30.479 seen New Japan Hogan, like watching him in there in 2062 02:02:30.560 --> 02:02:33.119 ninety three doing drop toe holds and some of the 2063 02:02:33.119 --> 02:02:35.800 other stuff he was doing. Like if I would say 2064 02:02:35.800 --> 02:02:38.680 to anybody listening, if you haven't seen that match or 2065 02:02:38.720 --> 02:02:41.800 any of his Japanese matches, you need to see a 2066 02:02:41.880 --> 02:02:44.720 Hogan Japan match at least once, just to see like 2067 02:02:44.760 --> 02:02:48.199 what he was actually capable of, because it'll blow your 2068 02:02:48.199 --> 02:02:49.880 mind if you've never seen it before. 2069 02:02:52.119 --> 02:02:53.640 All right, and it's felt like he was a ring 2070 02:02:53.720 --> 02:02:55.960 technist or anything. No, you can see Ogan do an 2071 02:02:55.960 --> 02:02:59.000 Indy Garry. Yeah that's gold right there. 2072 02:02:59.079 --> 02:03:02.079 Yeah, yeah, that's awesome. I appreciate the call. 2073 02:03:04.439 --> 02:03:06.479 Yeah, thanks special monster, Thanks for everything you do and 2074 02:03:06.560 --> 02:03:07.079 have a great night. 2075 02:03:07.159 --> 02:03:13.199 Thank you man, you too.

It's Wrestless 2086 02:03:41.359 --> 02:03:45.840 inspired me to start my only YouTube channel, not Restless, So. 2087 02:03:45.960 --> 02:03:49.279 No compete all right, no competition here. 2088 02:03:52.119 --> 02:03:56.560 But uh my biggest question for you man.

They can do a great job on this show, 2091 02:04:06.079 --> 02:04:12.359 Bring it Up News Stars showcase it like Miles Board winning, 2092 02:04:13.079 --> 02:04:17.399 j C. James winning, where We're all is smack daw. 2093 02:04:18.039 --> 02:04:21.560 They can take lessons from NXT. How do you feel 2094 02:04:21.560 --> 02:04:22.479 about your TIN? 2095 02:04:23.159 --> 02:04:25.039 Yeah, I think the point you're trying to make is 2096 02:04:25.079 --> 02:04:28.520 that one thing that Shawn Michaels does pretty well with 2097 02:04:28.720 --> 02:04:34.840 NXT is he's not afraid to take chances and to 2098 02:04:34.960 --> 02:04:38.920 shock people by doing things that they don't expect. And 2099 02:04:39.359 --> 02:04:42.119 one common complaint that I hear about Triple H and 2100 02:04:42.159 --> 02:04:45.279 it's not I don't think it's unfair, is that a 2101 02:04:45.319 --> 02:04:48.560 lot of times he plays it too safe, he plays 2102 02:04:48.600 --> 02:04:52.119 it too safe, or he plays it too predictable sewn. 2103 02:04:52.199 --> 02:04:54.520 Michaels is not afraid to do that with NXT. But 2104 02:04:54.560 --> 02:04:58.239 you also got to remember NXT. I mean, some people 2105 02:04:58.279 --> 02:05:00.239 will say, oh, it's the third brand. It's like, you know, 2106 02:05:00.279 --> 02:05:03.479 it's like the main roster. It's not. It's still developmental, 2107 02:05:03.560 --> 02:05:05.840 so you can you can do stuff like that. You know, 2108 02:05:05.880 --> 02:05:08.720 you have the freedom to try things that maybe you 2109 02:05:08.720 --> 02:05:11.319 wouldn't you know, be able to on the main roster 2110 02:05:11.520 --> 02:05:14.720 for whatever reason. So I feel like it's a little 2111 02:05:14.720 --> 02:05:18.560 bit different, but I agree. I agree that it's more 2112 02:05:18.920 --> 02:05:23.600 fun when you are kind of hit with something from 2113 02:05:23.640 --> 02:05:25.840 out of left field, maybe a match outcome or a 2114 02:05:25.880 --> 02:05:28.279 heel turn or something like that that you weren't expecting. 2115 02:05:28.840 --> 02:05:30.960 He he tends to do a better job. I think 2116 02:05:31.000 --> 02:05:33.399 of giving you that sort of thing which makes the 2117 02:05:33.439 --> 02:05:36.760 show a little more, you know, must see in that way, 2118 02:05:36.800 --> 02:05:38.920 and I think there are lessons that can be learned, 2119 02:05:39.000 --> 02:05:40.479 you know, when it comes to the main roster. 2120 02:05:43.000 --> 02:05:48.000 Absolutely, yeah, yeah, I appreciate it. 2121 02:05:48.239 --> 02:05:50.720 Of course, I'm glad, glad to get you on and 2122 02:05:50.920 --> 02:05:52.760 thank you for the kind words. I appreciate that. 2123 02:05:54.560 --> 02:05:56.479 And no problem, keep doing what you do. 2124 02:05:56.720 --> 02:05:59.119 I will, I will as long as you stick with 2125 02:05:59.159 --> 02:06:04.520 me yourself.

I mean, I mean it's nowhere 2153 02:07:11.239 --> 02:07:14.560 near Vince levels, which you noticed that, but you notice 2154 02:07:14.600 --> 02:07:17.439 that it's not exactly what we thought. Meanwhile, down in 2155 02:07:17.479 --> 02:07:21.119 an XT, Sean might mean not the Sean Michael that 2156 02:07:21.119 --> 02:07:23.039 that is actually is actually doing right. 2157 02:07:24.640 --> 02:07:26.079 Well, I mean, yeah, it's like what we just talked 2158 02:07:26.079 --> 02:07:28.680 about on the on the last call where I feel 2159 02:07:28.720 --> 02:07:32.239 like Sean isn't afraid to take chances, so you know, 2160 02:07:32.279 --> 02:07:34.600 he'll try things, even new matches like when they came 2161 02:07:34.600 --> 02:07:37.000 over the Iron Survivor Challenge and some of that kind 2162 02:07:37.039 --> 02:07:41.079 of stuff that they do. I like that aspect of it, 2163 02:07:41.159 --> 02:07:44.680 and I feel like, you know, Triple H does tend 2164 02:07:44.720 --> 02:07:46.479 to play it safe with a lot of stuff on 2165 02:07:46.520 --> 02:07:48.960 the main roster. You get a lot of people complaining 2166 02:07:49.000 --> 02:07:51.239 about it. I was complaining about it late last year. 2167 02:07:52.000 --> 02:07:55.399 You know, we did Survivor series and everything. Heading into 2168 02:07:55.439 --> 02:07:58.119 the end of last year, I said, man, is he 2169 02:07:58.199 --> 02:08:00.920 waiting until Rumble season and Wrestle, Like, is there something 2170 02:08:00.960 --> 02:08:03.680 that he's waiting for? Because everything was so predictable and 2171 02:08:03.720 --> 02:08:06.800 everything was just like I was waiting for something to happen. 2172 02:08:07.159 --> 02:08:09.359 You know, there wasn't a whole lot of excitement going on. 2173 02:08:10.000 --> 02:08:13.039 And then we actually got some excitement and elimination chamber 2174 02:08:13.039 --> 02:08:16.039 and it went nowhere. Uh so, so yeah, No, I 2175 02:08:16.119 --> 02:08:18.880 notice it. Obviously other people notice it because they keep 2176 02:08:18.880 --> 02:08:22.520 bringing it up to me. But you know, is it 2177 02:08:22.600 --> 02:08:25.079 going to change anytime soon? I don't know. He has 2178 02:08:25.119 --> 02:08:27.760 his style, his way of doing things. I think he 2179 02:08:27.840 --> 02:08:30.800 thinks that, you know, what he's doing is working because 2180 02:08:30.800 --> 02:08:33.119 business is still booming and so wide change from it. 2181 02:08:33.159 --> 02:08:36.680 But you know, it is nice to every now and then. 2182 02:08:37.039 --> 02:08:39.319 I don't want to say just swerve people for the 2183 02:08:39.359 --> 02:08:41.560 sake of swerving them. I'm not saying that, but just 2184 02:08:42.239 --> 02:08:45.159 you know, don't don't be afraid to take chances. And 2185 02:08:45.279 --> 02:08:47.800 we see more of that on the CW than we 2186 02:08:47.880 --> 02:08:52.720 do on Netflix and USA every week. So you're not wrong. 2187 02:08:55.479 --> 02:08:59.960 Yes, Yes, in my other court, In my other court 2188 02:09:00.439 --> 02:09:03.000 is is that when something was always my mind is that? 2189 02:09:03.439 --> 02:09:03.600 Is that? 2190 02:09:03.640 --> 02:09:06.800 Medea? The answers is that what is happened? What is happening? 2191 02:09:06.960 --> 02:09:09.840 What is happening? What has happened to Aw's Tag division? 2192 02:09:09.880 --> 02:09:12.319 Because something you noticed that is that from is that 2193 02:09:12.439 --> 02:09:16.079 from about like say twenty twenty one to like twenty 2194 02:09:16.159 --> 02:09:18.079 twenty three ish, they had they had a great they 2195 02:09:18.119 --> 02:09:22.640 had a great tag division FTR, the FDR, the Bucks Party. 2196 02:09:22.079 --> 02:09:22.800 And all that stuff. 2197 02:09:23.000 --> 02:09:24.399 But then sometime last. 2198 02:09:24.279 --> 02:09:26.399 Year it's like it it's like it just it's like 2199 02:09:26.479 --> 02:09:29.960 it just stopped and now it's really just the hurt business. 2200 02:09:29.960 --> 02:09:31.920 But just what do you think, like what happened to 2201 02:09:31.960 --> 02:09:33.119 AW Tag Division? 2202 02:09:34.720 --> 02:09:34.920 Uh? 2203 02:09:34.960 --> 02:09:36.840 Well, I mean it's not it's not as strong as 2204 02:09:36.840 --> 02:09:39.319 it used to be. I think, honestly, the Trios titles 2205 02:09:39.319 --> 02:09:42.640 didn't help. I think the Trios titles probably did more 2206 02:09:42.640 --> 02:09:44.359 harm than good when it came to the Tag Team 2207 02:09:44.399 --> 02:09:46.479 division because all of a sudden they became so far 2208 02:09:46.600 --> 02:09:50.720 like hyper focused on trios and the Death Riders and 2209 02:09:50.800 --> 02:09:55.279 like it took attention away from just the tag team division. 2210 02:09:55.520 --> 02:09:57.600 And then they lost some teams, right, they lost the 2211 02:09:57.680 --> 02:10:00.800 Luca Brothers, and the division just looks differ, you know. 2212 02:10:00.800 --> 02:10:05.720 They just don't have the same level of talent stockpiled 2213 02:10:05.720 --> 02:10:08.199 in that division that they used to. And also you 2214 02:10:08.239 --> 02:10:10.199 have some teams the Bucks. You know, the Bucks are 2215 02:10:10.199 --> 02:10:12.079 still great. They can still go out there and have 2216 02:10:12.159 --> 02:10:15.399 a great match. They'll have one this Saturday. But now 2217 02:10:15.439 --> 02:10:18.560 it's been several years, you know, and it's like, all right, 2218 02:10:18.600 --> 02:10:21.119 they're still part of that old guard, but like where's 2219 02:10:21.159 --> 02:10:23.279 the new crop of teams? So, like you have the 2220 02:10:23.359 --> 02:10:27.239 Hurt Syndicate and you've got FTR is still there. You've 2221 02:10:27.239 --> 02:10:30.600 got the Outrunners and they're fun to watch. And they 2222 02:10:30.640 --> 02:10:33.800 put Bailey together with Kevin Knight and they formed Jet 2223 02:10:33.840 --> 02:10:36.520 Speed and I don't know if that's the long term 2224 02:10:36.520 --> 02:10:38.680 play for them or not. Christian and Nick Wayne they're 2225 02:10:38.720 --> 02:10:41.600 not really a team, but they've been slapped together here. 2226 02:10:42.840 --> 02:10:47.600 It's just the level of talent is just different than 2227 02:10:47.640 --> 02:10:50.760 it was in those early years. It's just not as 2228 02:10:51.520 --> 02:10:54.920 strong of a division as it used to be. I 2229 02:10:54.960 --> 02:10:57.520 still think though that the trio's titles did more harm 2230 02:10:57.560 --> 02:11:01.479 than good and can't lay it all on that, but 2231 02:11:01.600 --> 02:11:04.039 I think that was also, you know, part of the 2232 02:11:04.039 --> 02:11:07.119 problem there. So you know, you go through peaks and valleys, 2233 02:11:07.119 --> 02:11:09.079 same thing in w W E. You might have a 2234 02:11:09.079 --> 02:11:12.039 point in time, like I'm SmackDown right now where the 2235 02:11:12.119 --> 02:11:14.920 division is pretty you know, pretty hot and pretty healthy, 2236 02:11:14.960 --> 02:11:18.000 and then look at raw. How is it possible the 2237 02:11:18.000 --> 02:11:20.000 same person is booking both shows and you have a 2238 02:11:20.039 --> 02:11:22.000 division looking the way it looks on Fridays and you 2239 02:11:22.000 --> 02:11:24.479 have a division looking the way it looks on Mondays. 2240 02:11:24.960 --> 02:11:27.119 I don't know. I don't have a great answer for you, 2241 02:11:27.159 --> 02:11:28.760 but that's just the way it goes sometimes. 2242 02:11:31.359 --> 02:11:33.279 Yeah, I say, yes you Yes you are, Yes, you 2243 02:11:33.279 --> 02:11:35.560 are great, Yes you are career story and I I 2244 02:11:35.600 --> 02:11:37.319 just and I just went and I just I just 2245 02:11:37.319 --> 02:11:38.760 wanted to and I just wanted to say and I 2246 02:11:38.760 --> 02:11:40.399 just want to say Tank it brandswer my question and 2247 02:11:40.880 --> 02:11:42.520 like and like I said, work you are and like 2248 02:11:42.560 --> 02:11:44.079 I said, you are the best podcast in the world, 2249 02:11:44.119 --> 02:11:45.359 like I said, and I and I'm and I'm like 2250 02:11:45.399 --> 02:11:46.920 I said, I'm gonna end this call with this, like 2251 02:11:46.920 --> 02:11:49.159 I said, given what my give, given what I say 2252 02:11:49.159 --> 02:11:49.840 in my place. 2253 02:11:49.600 --> 02:11:51.079 To work, you know it's something you know, what's something? 2254 02:11:51.079 --> 02:11:53.239 You know it's something Walmart customers in New York and 2255 02:11:53.640 --> 02:11:59.000 people in New York have in common. I don't, and both, 2256 02:11:59.039 --> 02:12:00.920 like I said, pretty much in both. Like I said, 2257 02:12:00.920 --> 02:12:02.760 in both places, you don't need to know how to drive. 2258 02:12:02.920 --> 02:12:03.760 Good night, everybody. 2259 02:12:04.720 --> 02:12:07.720 And on that note, that was May's the Great. I'm 2260 02:12:07.720 --> 02:12:09.560 glad he was able to call in. Thank you, brother, 2261 02:12:11.439 --> 02:12:14.239 May's the Great. It's good a brand. I think this 2262 02:12:14.359 --> 02:12:16.840 is Brandon. Is this Brandon in California? 2263 02:12:19.279 --> 02:12:19.359 So? 2264 02:12:19.760 --> 02:12:20.479 What is up? Man? 2265 02:12:20.520 --> 02:12:22.199 Now you're doing? Can you hear me? 2266 02:12:22.399 --> 02:12:24.399 I can hear you, man. 2267 02:12:24.399 --> 02:12:27.039 I've been listening to you for a long time. 2268 02:12:27.119 --> 02:12:28.560 I know you probably don't remember this. 2269 02:12:29.239 --> 02:12:33.399 Years ago, when Shintskate first came to an NXT, there 2270 02:12:33.439 --> 02:12:36.399 was like a random guy that sent you his win 2271 02:12:36.520 --> 02:12:39.960 loss record from New Japan and he talked about it 2272 02:12:40.000 --> 02:12:42.239 on your podcast at the time. I think he had 2273 02:12:42.279 --> 02:12:45.880 lost like two matches in five years or something like that. 2274 02:12:46.560 --> 02:12:50.159 So I'm gonna try to make this real, real quick, easy, 2275 02:12:50.359 --> 02:12:51.000 get out of here. 2276 02:12:51.039 --> 02:12:52.239 See you can keep on going. 2277 02:12:53.079 --> 02:12:58.279 I'm very very disappointed and what they've done since shint 2278 02:12:58.359 --> 02:12:59.199 k Knakamura. 2279 02:12:59.840 --> 02:13:02.119 And at this point, I honestly feel. 2280 02:13:02.520 --> 02:13:05.560 Like he should just go back to New Japan or something, 2281 02:13:05.600 --> 02:13:11.880 because dude, Shinsky was like Michael Jackson and John Seena's 2282 02:13:11.960 --> 02:13:15.640 love child bro, and she was like huge. 2283 02:13:15.880 --> 02:13:16.600 In New Japan. 2284 02:13:17.279 --> 02:13:21.319 And nowadays we got Shin's ke over here like doing 2285 02:13:21.399 --> 02:13:25.039 the mist, you know, being like a samurai warrior. Maybe 2286 02:13:25.079 --> 02:13:28.079 this is a hot take, okay, but why do they 2287 02:13:28.159 --> 02:13:32.800 have to give him like a stereotypical gimmick right just 2288 02:13:32.840 --> 02:13:35.920 to try to get him over to American fan? Why 2289 02:13:35.960 --> 02:13:39.960 won't they let Shinsk just be Shinsky? Like this guy 2290 02:13:40.000 --> 02:13:42.399 could be a massive star for them right now. Like, 2291 02:13:42.520 --> 02:13:45.560 what do you think the reason is why they have 2292 02:13:45.800 --> 02:13:48.680 absolutely no faith in this guy and why it just 2293 02:13:48.680 --> 02:13:51.680 seems like they're just pissing all over this guy's career. 2294 02:13:53.039 --> 02:13:54.800 Well, I don't think it's a case where they have 2295 02:13:55.720 --> 02:13:58.399 no faith in him. I think that he's settled into 2296 02:13:58.439 --> 02:14:01.720 a role that they see him in, like a support role, 2297 02:14:01.840 --> 02:14:03.279 and that's as high as it's going to go for 2298 02:14:03.359 --> 02:14:05.479 I mean, look, he's been there now, God, what is 2299 02:14:05.479 --> 02:14:08.239 it seven years? Eight years? He's been there for actually 2300 02:14:08.279 --> 02:14:12.119 longer he's been there probably well, he debuted in Texas 2301 02:14:12.199 --> 02:14:14.439 that NXT show I was there. That was twenty sixteen, 2302 02:14:14.680 --> 02:14:18.159 so it's been almost a decade. Like he's at that 2303 02:14:18.239 --> 02:14:21.319 point now where if you're someone who's hoping for that 2304 02:14:21.479 --> 02:14:24.439 old Shinsky knock of Moor to show his face in WWE, 2305 02:14:24.479 --> 02:14:27.119 like it's it's not happening, Like that ship sailed a 2306 02:14:27.119 --> 02:14:29.800 long time ago. And when he first came in, I 2307 02:14:29.840 --> 02:14:32.319 don't want to say, you know, they didn't see the 2308 02:14:32.359 --> 02:14:35.439 potential in him, Like he had the cool entrance, he 2309 02:14:35.479 --> 02:14:38.159 had cool music. Maybe it wasn't exactly like you know 2310 02:14:38.199 --> 02:14:41.000 what he was doing in New Japan, but he had 2311 02:14:41.039 --> 02:14:45.359 a pretty badass entrance, like when he first debuted and 2312 02:14:45.640 --> 02:14:48.720 he wrestled John sin On SmackDown once. I remember that 2313 02:14:49.239 --> 02:14:51.960 he had the Wrestlemaniam match with AJ which really wasn't 2314 02:14:52.159 --> 02:14:56.119 that great. They went on to have better matches. I 2315 02:14:56.920 --> 02:14:59.640 just think you know what really kind of killed it 2316 02:14:59.680 --> 02:15:02.880 for me is when they gave the title to Gender 2317 02:15:02.920 --> 02:15:07.640 Mahaal and we had Gender Mahall against Knackimore and Knackamoor 2318 02:15:07.920 --> 02:15:10.520 couldn't beat Gender Mahaal. They used him to actually help 2319 02:15:10.560 --> 02:15:15.039 get gender mahall more over, and that's when I realized, like, well, 2320 02:15:15.439 --> 02:15:16.159 I'm not trying. 2321 02:15:16.520 --> 02:15:18.239 I'm not trying really. 2322 02:15:18.119 --> 02:15:20.720 Quick, how bad does it have to be? Exactly how 2323 02:15:20.760 --> 02:15:21.399 bad does. 2324 02:15:21.279 --> 02:15:22.000 It have to be? 2325 02:15:22.720 --> 02:15:25.000 When they're like he had a mahall better than you, 2326 02:15:25.359 --> 02:15:28.439 well maha go over like wow. 2327 02:15:28.760 --> 02:15:31.880 Well, but that's that's when I realized that we're not 2328 02:15:31.920 --> 02:15:35.239 getting that shinsk Nlackimore, that they just don't they don't 2329 02:15:35.359 --> 02:15:38.159 like Vince. Let's say they don't Vince at the time, 2330 02:15:38.399 --> 02:15:40.840 he did not see him at that level, and I 2331 02:15:40.880 --> 02:15:43.600 think part of it was the language barrier. I'm sure 2332 02:15:43.640 --> 02:15:45.600 that was a mark against them. I'm sure Vince saw 2333 02:15:45.640 --> 02:15:49.199 that and said, yeah, that's that's a black mark against them, 2334 02:15:49.239 --> 02:15:51.920 like you know, he can't cut promos. But when I 2335 02:15:52.000 --> 02:15:55.000 saw that that he had multiple pay per view matches 2336 02:15:55.199 --> 02:15:58.039 with gender mahaal and they were basically using this guy 2337 02:15:58.560 --> 02:16:02.079 to help get mahall overs a heel, that's when I knew, like, 2338 02:16:02.640 --> 02:16:05.640 that's it. It's over, Like we're not we're not getting 2339 02:16:05.640 --> 02:16:06.359 that shit skin. 2340 02:16:06.199 --> 02:16:10.159 Out yeore, yeah not a That's what I'm saying. 2341 02:16:10.159 --> 02:16:11.880 I just wish, I kind of really. 2342 02:16:11.600 --> 02:16:13.439 Do wish he would just go back to Japan. 2343 02:16:13.479 --> 02:16:14.880 As this point, I don't think he really does. 2344 02:16:14.960 --> 02:16:16.640 I don't think he wants to. I think he I 2345 02:16:16.760 --> 02:16:21.000 think his contract has probably come do multiple times in 2346 02:16:21.039 --> 02:16:23.279 the years that he has been in this company, and 2347 02:16:23.560 --> 02:16:25.840 he chooses to re sign each time. I think he's 2348 02:16:25.880 --> 02:16:29.039 content to just do what he's doing. I'm not saying 2349 02:16:29.079 --> 02:16:31.560 he'll never go back, but I think if he really 2350 02:16:31.600 --> 02:16:33.680 wanted to go back, and if he was as upset 2351 02:16:33.719 --> 02:16:36.479 as you are and some of the other fans are, 2352 02:16:37.399 --> 02:16:39.319 he would have been gone a long time ago. I 2353 02:16:39.360 --> 02:16:42.239 think that, you know, he's older now, almost ten years 2354 02:16:42.280 --> 02:16:45.200 older now. He worked a very hard style. Dude. He 2355 02:16:45.239 --> 02:16:48.159 was doing shoot fights for a while, like you know. 2356 02:16:48.280 --> 02:16:51.520 I think that in his mind, he's probably just done 2357 02:16:51.559 --> 02:16:53.000 with it. I don't think he wants to go back 2358 02:16:53.040 --> 02:16:54.760 to doing that full time. I don't think he could 2359 02:16:54.799 --> 02:16:56.639 go back to doing that full time. But I think 2360 02:16:56.680 --> 02:17:01.040 if he ever leaves WWE, he could have a homecoming 2361 02:17:01.040 --> 02:17:03.399 there and maybe have some big matches, you know, and 2362 02:17:03.479 --> 02:17:04.879 maybe we get to see a little bit of the 2363 02:17:04.920 --> 02:17:08.040 old Knockamore, like he went over to Pro Wrestling Noah 2364 02:17:08.280 --> 02:17:10.000 and he had a couple of matches there, like on 2365 02:17:10.040 --> 02:17:14.040 their New Year's shows last couple of years, the one 2366 02:17:14.079 --> 02:17:16.799 with Muda, like it was one of Muda's retirement matches, 2367 02:17:17.520 --> 02:17:20.479 like he's done some stuff like that. But I just 2368 02:17:20.520 --> 02:17:23.079 think if he really was unhappy, he would have been 2369 02:17:23.079 --> 02:17:25.079 gone a long time ago. That tells me that he's 2370 02:17:25.200 --> 02:17:26.879 he's happy enough to just be where he is. 2371 02:17:30.360 --> 02:17:32.120 I just find it to be a shame because I'm 2372 02:17:32.639 --> 02:17:34.360 I'm pretty sure. I mean, correct me if I'm wrong, 2373 02:17:34.399 --> 02:17:36.440 but it literally needs it, like this guy had never 2374 02:17:36.479 --> 02:17:39.120 been a world champion, like should had never been a 2375 02:17:39.200 --> 02:17:42.040 world champion anywhere. 2376 02:17:44.879 --> 02:17:45.840 Back on the meat. 2377 02:17:45.760 --> 02:17:49.319 Well, oh yeah, you're right. I forgot about NXT yah. 2378 02:17:50.879 --> 02:17:52.639 Yeah, but that that would be the only one though, 2379 02:17:52.680 --> 02:17:56.639 because he wasn't He was intercontinental champion right in New Japan, 2380 02:17:56.680 --> 02:18:00.399 but not the not the heavyweight champion kah. 2381 02:18:01.079 --> 02:18:03.879 Right yeah yeah, but thank you for your time. 2382 02:18:03.959 --> 02:18:06.280 I'll s thanks for taking my call. 2383 02:18:07.239 --> 02:18:12.520 Thank you man, you too, I appreciate it.

If I understood him correctly, I appreciate the question. 2399 02:19:11.719 --> 02:19:15.079 My favorite wrestler all time would be Brett Hart, although 2400 02:19:15.120 --> 02:19:18.719 I have several, you know, Mato Man is a close second. 2401 02:19:19.760 --> 02:19:21.639 I don't know if I have a favorite wrestler right 2402 02:19:21.680 --> 02:19:25.799 now though at the moment, I really can't say. There's 2403 02:19:25.840 --> 02:19:29.719 that like that one person for me that's more Musty 2404 02:19:29.799 --> 02:19:34.200 than anybody else. But anybody who knows me knows I'm 2405 02:19:34.200 --> 02:19:35.920 going to go on a question like that. They know 2406 02:19:35.959 --> 02:19:38.799 I'm going to go with Brett as the answer. All right, 2407 02:19:38.840 --> 02:19:40.840 let's take a couple more. Let's go to five seven 2408 02:19:40.840 --> 02:19:41.760 to one around the air. 2409 02:19:44.440 --> 02:19:45.760 What's going on, Jason, hear me? 2410 02:19:46.040 --> 02:19:46.440 I can hear. 2411 02:19:49.799 --> 02:19:52.360 First of all, appreciate all your concept brother, you know, 2412 02:19:52.959 --> 02:19:55.719 let subscribe it here. But I wanted to ask you. 2413 02:19:56.399 --> 02:19:59.200 I saw a clip on a Chris Van Vlie's Future 2414 02:19:59.280 --> 02:20:02.680 channel and you that he did with Sam Roberts and 2415 02:20:02.760 --> 02:20:06.440 they were talking about the worst book match ever and 2416 02:20:06.920 --> 02:20:10.479 Stark nineteen ninety seven came up. In the conversation between 2417 02:20:10.600 --> 02:20:11.040 Sting and. 2418 02:20:11.040 --> 02:20:11.799 The hul Kogan. 2419 02:20:13.319 --> 02:20:16.079 I'm someone that likes to put Helm the Cell twenty 2420 02:20:16.159 --> 02:20:18.920 nineteen with the scene and stuff Rollins in there. Yes, 2421 02:20:18.959 --> 02:20:22.079 but I think I leaned. I leaned towards the starkad 2422 02:20:22.159 --> 02:20:26.600 one just because the dumb quick count that they tried 2423 02:20:26.639 --> 02:20:30.760 to pull, and then just the story that they had 2424 02:20:30.799 --> 02:20:35.000 within what seventeen months between the nw own sting, he 2425 02:20:35.200 --> 02:20:40.680 just culminated into that ending. That's my pick personally, But 2426 02:20:40.760 --> 02:20:43.360 what would you say is your worst book match? 2427 02:20:45.120 --> 02:20:47.680 I probably would tend to go with that stark match 2428 02:20:47.760 --> 02:20:51.760 also just because Rollin's in the fiend what they did 2429 02:20:51.760 --> 02:20:53.840 in Hell in a Sale. As awful as that was, like, 2430 02:20:53.879 --> 02:20:57.680 that match was not nearly as important or significant as 2431 02:20:57.680 --> 02:21:02.000 that Starkate match was. You're talking about you're talking about 2432 02:21:02.040 --> 02:21:04.600 a Monday Night War period, which was one of the 2433 02:21:04.600 --> 02:21:07.079 hottest periods in the history of the business, and that 2434 02:21:07.319 --> 02:21:10.600 story was all building to that one match. Like that 2435 02:21:10.680 --> 02:21:13.319 match was such a layup, it was such a slam 2436 02:21:13.399 --> 02:21:17.440 dunk easy thing, and they and they screwed it up. 2437 02:21:17.440 --> 02:21:20.600 They fucked it up, and it's just amazing even today 2438 02:21:20.639 --> 02:21:22.639 to look back on it and realize, like, how do 2439 02:21:22.719 --> 02:21:24.840 you screw that up? All because what because the guy 2440 02:21:24.840 --> 02:21:27.639 didn't have a ten when he showed up, Like it's 2441 02:21:27.719 --> 02:21:31.159 just so, it's just so ridiculous, and it made Bret Hart, 2442 02:21:31.280 --> 02:21:33.479 who was brand new to the company, look like a 2443 02:21:33.520 --> 02:21:36.239 fool for beating up a referee who did nothing wrong. 2444 02:21:36.440 --> 02:21:41.200 Like everything about that finish was just so awful, and 2445 02:21:41.280 --> 02:21:43.159 so I probably would go with the same match. 2446 02:21:43.200 --> 02:21:47.799 Honestly, didn't they replay the count like six or eight 2447 02:21:47.879 --> 02:21:50.680 times to like, yeah, the idea that you. 2448 02:21:50.680 --> 02:21:53.799 Did it was it was just awful. I mean again 2449 02:21:53.840 --> 02:21:56.040 when you just when you look at it in terms 2450 02:21:56.079 --> 02:21:59.040 of like important matches in history, because there have been 2451 02:21:59.040 --> 02:22:01.680 a lot of bad Adley Book matches, I mean probably 2452 02:22:02.159 --> 02:22:05.040 hundreds thousands of them, probably, but that one is the 2453 02:22:05.040 --> 02:22:08.200 one that really stands out and it's still talked about today. 2454 02:22:08.239 --> 02:22:09.719 So what does that tell you? The fact that there 2455 02:22:09.719 --> 02:22:13.239 are still podcasts and shows that are still talking about 2456 02:22:13.239 --> 02:22:16.120 the finish to a match that happened in nineteen ninety seven, 2457 02:22:16.479 --> 02:22:19.600 that that wasn't the screwjob. This was two months after 2458 02:22:19.600 --> 02:22:21.360 the screwjob, or not not two months. It was a 2459 02:22:21.360 --> 02:22:23.840 month after a month after the screwjob, and people are 2460 02:22:23.920 --> 02:22:25.760 still talking about it to this day because of how 2461 02:22:25.799 --> 02:22:27.079 stupid the ending was. 2462 02:22:31.600 --> 02:22:34.879 Yeah, very much in the same boat with you. I 2463 02:22:34.920 --> 02:22:38.159 appreciate your call or taking my call rather answer my question, 2464 02:22:38.319 --> 02:22:39.200 of course, tonight. 2465 02:22:38.959 --> 02:22:41.799 All right, you two man have a good night. Oh 2466 02:22:41.840 --> 02:22:44.319 it still makes me angry thinking about the finish to 2467 02:22:44.399 --> 02:22:48.200 that dumb match. Fans were still happy though, to see 2468 02:22:48.239 --> 02:22:50.719 Sting holding the championship at the end of the night. 2469 02:22:53.559 --> 02:22:55.200 Uh five five nine, you're on the. 2470 02:22:55.120 --> 02:23:01.280 Air final, Louis the Rock has come back. 2471 02:23:02.600 --> 02:23:02.879 Book. 2472 02:23:03.319 --> 02:23:06.760 No, no, we don't know, man, Papa Stanko here. 2473 02:23:07.479 --> 02:23:09.840 Papa Shanko, we don't.

I enjoyed it. I enjoyed it better 2564 02:26:38.799 --> 02:26:42.920 than smack Down on Friday. But I can't. I can't 2565 02:26:42.959 --> 02:26:45.319 sit here and tell you that all these shows coming 2566 02:26:45.399 --> 02:26:47.239 up this week, not counting all In, I'm talking about 2567 02:26:47.239 --> 02:26:47.799 the w. 2568 02:26:47.600 --> 02:26:49.399 W show Brutal. 2569 02:26:49.760 --> 02:26:52.239 Yeah, I just I'm not.

Like when I look at them, I'm sure, 2575 02:27:04.079 --> 02:27:06.600 I'm sure, I'm sure the Evolution show will end up 2576 02:27:06.639 --> 02:27:09.399 being a pretty good show.

Maybe that's part 2582 02:27:24.959 --> 02:27:27.520 of it. I don't know.

And I didn't know how I 2625 02:29:35.879 --> 02:29:37.159 could follow the mini bit. 2626 02:29:39.840 --> 02:29:42.559 You could, you could. You could ask your question and 2627 02:29:42.600 --> 02:29:44.079 I'll let you know if it's better or worse. 2628 02:29:46.600 --> 02:29:50.040 All right, I have a couple of questions. 2629 02:29:50.360 --> 02:29:52.520 Well, let's try to let's let's pick your best one. 2630 02:29:52.760 --> 02:29:54.959 What what's what's the best one that you got? 2631 02:29:57.559 --> 02:29:58.559 All right? Uh? 2632 02:30:00.159 --> 02:30:03.000 One I have right now on the top of my 2633 02:30:03.040 --> 02:30:08.200 head would be how would the wrestling industry be like 2634 02:30:08.399 --> 02:30:13.399 if Owen Hart, Eddie Carrero and Chris den Wat were 2635 02:30:13.440 --> 02:30:14.719 still alive today. 2636 02:30:15.680 --> 02:30:21.360 Hmm, that's a good one, I would say. Hmm, well, 2637 02:30:21.399 --> 02:30:24.040 I mean the most obvious thing, and thank you for 2638 02:30:24.079 --> 02:30:27.079 the call. That's actually that's actually a pretty good one. 2639 02:30:27.959 --> 02:30:30.120 It would be well, First of all, it would be 2640 02:30:30.120 --> 02:30:32.760 for the better if you are to assume that Ben 2641 02:30:32.760 --> 02:30:35.000 Wit would not have done what he did. So that's 2642 02:30:35.079 --> 02:30:39.360 number one. Ben wa, Eddie and Owen were some of 2643 02:30:39.360 --> 02:30:42.719 the more well respected, you know, veterans in the business, 2644 02:30:42.799 --> 02:30:48.000 and they're all great wrestlers. So had they lived and 2645 02:30:48.120 --> 02:30:50.879 had they gone on to what I assumed they would 2646 02:30:50.879 --> 02:30:52.680 have done, which is they would have gone on, if 2647 02:30:52.719 --> 02:30:54.600 not to open their own schools, they would have gone 2648 02:30:54.600 --> 02:30:58.440 on to train who knows, maybe they'd be working at 2649 02:30:58.440 --> 02:31:02.079 the PC right now. The wrestling business would be far 2650 02:31:02.159 --> 02:31:04.159 better off having them in it than not having them 2651 02:31:04.200 --> 02:31:07.920 in it at all, simple as that. I mean, imagine 2652 02:31:07.959 --> 02:31:12.000 the crop of talent that they could have coached, that 2653 02:31:12.079 --> 02:31:14.959 they could have trained, that they could have given advice to. 2654 02:31:16.360 --> 02:31:18.520 Has to say nothing of anything on screen that they 2655 02:31:18.559 --> 02:31:22.879 would have done. Just for that reason alone, the business 2656 02:31:22.920 --> 02:31:26.000 and the people in it would have been far better off, 2657 02:31:26.239 --> 02:31:28.959 you know, having them around to sort of impart their 2658 02:31:29.000 --> 02:31:33.000 knowledge on them. So obviously it sucks the way things 2659 02:31:33.120 --> 02:31:37.239 ended up all around, but there's the reason why they 2660 02:31:37.239 --> 02:31:40.879 were so well respected until everything went to shit there 2661 02:31:40.920 --> 02:31:52.280 at the end. Unfortunately, let's see, let's go here, let's 2662 02:31:52.319 --> 02:31:58.680 go to three five to two, three, five to two. 2663 02:31:58.719 --> 02:31:59.200 You're on the air. 2664 02:32:00.879 --> 02:32:02.000 Hey, Jason, what something? 2665 02:32:02.000 --> 02:32:05.399 How you doing good?

Why is that? 2734 02:35:42.879 --> 02:35:43.000 So? 2735 02:35:43.040 --> 02:35:46.000 What's your question? I'm leaving you as the main event here, 2736 02:35:46.000 --> 02:35:48.319 so I need you to give me a really good 2737 02:35:48.399 --> 02:35:49.520 question that we can go out on. 2738 02:35:49.559 --> 02:35:51.399 Here. Two questions. 2739 02:35:52.079 --> 02:35:58.360 Okay, I know we're no longer getting Nikki Bella and 2740 02:35:59.040 --> 02:36:01.079 Live Morgan at Evolution, but. 2741 02:36:03.639 --> 02:36:10.200 If Nicki is on the Evolution card whom she faced, well. 2742 02:36:10.120 --> 02:36:12.959 They announced tonight she's going to be in the Battle Royal. 2743 02:36:15.719 --> 02:36:17.360 Okay, that sucks. 2744 02:36:19.959 --> 02:36:23.000 And the other question, now I know, now. 2745 02:36:22.879 --> 02:36:24.719 I know which one's the sleeper match. 2746 02:36:32.559 --> 02:36:33.360 And the other question. 2747 02:36:36.959 --> 02:36:43.040 So question number two, given that it's been six months 2748 02:36:43.079 --> 02:36:51.040 since the wildfires, do you think that would be a 2749 02:36:51.120 --> 02:36:54.079 great a great time to ask this question. Let's say, 2750 02:36:54.120 --> 02:37:02.399 for example, if w P, you know, the CW affiliate 2751 02:37:02.440 --> 02:37:10.559 over there in you and in or we're to preempt NXT, 2752 02:37:11.280 --> 02:37:12.360 just like t t. 2753 02:37:12.520 --> 02:37:16.840 LA did when they were covering the wildfires. 2754 02:37:17.079 --> 02:37:20.559 What would the event be and for what reason? 2755 02:37:20.680 --> 02:37:25.719 And how many days would that event last until like 2756 02:37:25.840 --> 02:37:30.200 somebody higher up in the CW television network says, you 2757 02:37:30.239 --> 02:37:34.440 know what, this this television market got screwed out because. 2758 02:37:36.879 --> 02:37:47.000 X dt Y, We'll just reair this show one more 2759 02:37:47.079 --> 02:37:48.639 time so everybody can see it. 2760 02:37:50.360 --> 02:37:53.520 Okay, So I have so first of all, I have 2761 02:37:53.520 --> 02:37:56.200 no idea what you're talking about. But if we assume 2762 02:37:56.239 --> 02:37:58.879 that there was some sort of event that would pre 2763 02:37:58.959 --> 02:38:01.159 empt NXT, I could tell you that what they would 2764 02:38:01.159 --> 02:38:02.799 do in New York is they would just they would 2765 02:38:02.799 --> 02:38:05.120 air it on a different night. It would probably be 2766 02:38:05.159 --> 02:38:07.520 on a not not Tuesday, but it would just air 2767 02:38:07.559 --> 02:38:09.079 on a different night. I'm not really sure I even 2768 02:38:09.159 --> 02:38:12.120 understand what the question was, but that's the best answer 2769 02:38:12.159 --> 02:38:15.840 I could possibly give you, because the big difference between 2770 02:38:15.840 --> 02:38:19.920 PIX and kt LA to totally different stations. I can 2771 02:38:20.000 --> 02:38:23.680 only speak for the New York station. They would simply 2772 02:38:23.719 --> 02:38:26.120 re air it on a different night. Maybe you need 2773 02:38:26.159 --> 02:38:27.559 to move to me. Actually, you know what, don't do 2774 02:38:27.639 --> 02:38:30.600 that anything else, Louise, It's good to hear from you. 2775 02:38:30.600 --> 02:38:31.680 Anything else before I let you go. 2776 02:38:32.079 --> 02:38:37.000 No, I wouldn't well only if they if something. 2777 02:38:36.600 --> 02:38:41.159 Were to happen to my dad, York Christ please please. 2778 02:38:42.920 --> 02:38:44.079 To thank God good. 2779 02:38:44.120 --> 02:38:46.559 I hope nothing. I hope he lives to be one 2780 02:38:46.639 --> 02:38:49.200 hundred and fifty. I hope everything works out well. Luis, 2781 02:38:49.239 --> 02:38:51.440 it was good to hear your voice. Let's let's do 2782 02:38:51.520 --> 02:38:52.719 this again sometime. 2783 02:38:54.200 --> 02:38:55.159 Okay, boys on me. 2784 02:38:55.200 --> 02:38:59.239 Look, everybody, take care. Don't let Ice mess with y'all. 2785 02:39:00.360 --> 02:39:02.719 There you go.

Drew in the chat, Drew, 2788 02:39:15.120 --> 02:39:16.639 which one is? Which one are you? 2789 02:39:16.799 --> 02:39:17.040 Drew? 2790 02:39:17.920 --> 02:39:19.559 Give me the give me the first, give me the 2791 02:39:19.559 --> 02:39:22.520 first three. I'll try to get you in real quick 2792 02:39:22.559 --> 02:39:26.840 here before I wrap this bad boy up. I'm still 2793 02:39:26.840 --> 02:39:28.600 trying to figure out what that last question was. He 2794 02:39:28.680 --> 02:39:36.079 was trying to ask Are you as confused as I am? 2795 02:39:36.239 --> 02:39:38.959 I I feel like I hope I'm not the only one. Drew, Drew, 2796 02:39:39.040 --> 02:39:42.840 tell me that you were just as confused.

Sorry. 2800 02:39:54.520 --> 02:40:00.040 Yeah. Uh. First, I'm gonna say, oh, thanks for a 2801 02:40:00.079 --> 02:40:05.040 birthday shout out the question the question. So, I've been 2802 02:40:05.040 --> 02:40:07.440 buying a lot of old schools John Sena shirts. Do 2803 02:40:07.479 --> 02:40:09.639 you have like a favorite John Sena shirt or maybe 2804 02:40:09.680 --> 02:40:15.799 like a favorite wrestling shirt, like like a vintage one 2805 02:40:15.920 --> 02:40:18.120 or something like that, some of your favorites, like I 2806 02:40:18.239 --> 02:40:19.879 know the Austin DO sixteen one is probably one of 2807 02:40:19.920 --> 02:40:21.840 your favorites, but like some like other ones. 2808 02:40:21.959 --> 02:40:23.920 Yeah, I don't have a favorite John I don't own 2809 02:40:23.959 --> 02:40:26.680 a john Sena shirt, so I can't I can't speak 2810 02:40:26.719 --> 02:40:28.959 to him the favorite John Sena shirt of all the 2811 02:40:28.959 --> 02:40:31.840 ones he's ever come out with, I've bought exactly zero 2812 02:40:32.000 --> 02:40:35.159 of them, so I can't really answer that part of it. 2813 02:40:35.200 --> 02:40:38.719 As far as favorite, is there a favorite wrestling shirt? 2814 02:40:42.159 --> 02:40:47.440 You know? You? I'll say this, I I had the 2815 02:40:47.479 --> 02:40:49.719 Austin I still have it, actually, the Austin three sixteen, 2816 02:40:49.760 --> 02:40:53.639 the original one, and I had an nWo logo shirt. 2817 02:40:54.360 --> 02:40:58.159 And I've never gotten as many reactions from people just 2818 02:40:58.239 --> 02:41:01.159 walking around as I did waring those two shirts and 2819 02:41:01.200 --> 02:41:05.159 specifically Austin three sixteen, So that probably would have been 2820 02:41:05.200 --> 02:41:08.559 my answer if I had a second answer. There was 2821 02:41:08.600 --> 02:41:12.280 an all over print shirt that WWF sold in the 2822 02:41:12.319 --> 02:41:16.200 mid nineties that had razor ramone on it. I used 2823 02:41:16.239 --> 02:41:18.479 to have that. I don't have it anymore. That was 2824 02:41:18.520 --> 02:41:21.319 a pretty badass shirt. I'm kind of I'm kind of 2825 02:41:21.319 --> 02:41:23.559 sorry I don't have it anymore. I might go with 2826 02:41:23.600 --> 02:41:26.600 that one maybe, but Austin three sixteen, I mean that's 2827 02:41:26.600 --> 02:41:27.200 hard to top. 2828 02:41:29.000 --> 02:41:31.959 Oh, yeah, for sure with the bag graphic two. And 2829 02:41:32.000 --> 02:41:35.719 then oh, do you have any like bad wrestling shirts? 2830 02:41:35.719 --> 02:41:36.159 Like I was. 2831 02:41:36.239 --> 02:41:39.000 I saw a Carlito one and it's the more it says, 2832 02:41:39.000 --> 02:41:40.719 do you spit a swallow? And I was, I was 2833 02:41:40.799 --> 02:41:43.319 looking at that one. There any bad with oh there? 2834 02:41:43.360 --> 02:41:44.959 I mean there have been some. Of course, there have 2835 02:41:45.000 --> 02:41:47.079 been some bad I didn't own them because I wouldn't 2836 02:41:47.079 --> 02:41:48.920 buy them in the first place, but yeah, there have 2837 02:41:48.959 --> 02:41:52.360 been some awful wrestling shirts. Big Show had one. I mean, 2838 02:41:52.840 --> 02:41:54.520 this is not the worst, but like he had one 2839 02:41:54.559 --> 02:41:57.799 that had an arrow pointing down that said Big Show 2840 02:41:58.639 --> 02:42:03.600 like ha ha. There was the uh, the infamous APA 2841 02:42:03.719 --> 02:42:06.079 one which on the back, I think on the back 2842 02:42:06.079 --> 02:42:10.520 of the shirt said always Pounding Ass. So that was 2843 02:42:10.559 --> 02:42:13.719 on the back of the shirt. Yeah, I definitely don't 2844 02:42:13.760 --> 02:42:15.479 want to walk around the streets of New York wearing 2845 02:42:15.479 --> 02:42:18.719 that one. And then there was God, there have been 2846 02:42:18.760 --> 02:42:21.440 some awful wrestling. There was an AJ Styles one where 2847 02:42:21.479 --> 02:42:24.840 it looked like the font type was like uh like 2848 02:42:24.959 --> 02:42:29.600 seamen it was. It's just like, yeah, it was like 2849 02:42:30.399 --> 02:42:32.719 I don't know why, Like how does that go to print? 2850 02:42:32.879 --> 02:42:34.879 Like how do they actually think that that is a 2851 02:42:34.920 --> 02:42:39.799 good idea to to sell? I don't know. Oh, Jordan Miles. 2852 02:42:39.840 --> 02:42:41.799 That's where somebody Andre mentioned Jordan Miles. 2853 02:42:41.879 --> 02:42:43.079 I forgot all about that. 2854 02:42:43.239 --> 02:42:46.079 Oh wow, yeah, that's that's that. 2855 02:42:46.239 --> 02:42:47.959 Whatever happened to him, By the way. 2856 02:42:49.159 --> 02:42:51.559 I think he's still doing indies. I think I haven't 2857 02:42:51.559 --> 02:42:52.760 heard his name mentioned recently. 2858 02:42:55.719 --> 02:42:55.920 Yeah. 2859 02:42:55.959 --> 02:42:57.600 I just saw a clip of him and then I 2860 02:42:57.639 --> 02:43:00.479 remember his uh that crazy shirt that came out. Uh, 2861 02:43:00.799 --> 02:43:01.920 but I haven't heard of him since. 2862 02:43:02.079 --> 02:43:05.760 Yeah, Oh, boy. I forgot about that one anyway. 2863 02:43:08.360 --> 02:43:10.360 Thanks, thanks for the call, Thanks for picking up my 2864 02:43:10.360 --> 02:43:10.760 call now. 2865 02:43:10.760 --> 02:43:12.319 Of course I wanted to make sure I got you on, 2866 02:43:12.479 --> 02:43:13.600 So have a good night. 2867 02:43:14.440 --> 02:43:16.680 Let's go.

How are you? 2872 02:43:31.200 --> 02:43:32.159 I'm good? How are you? 2873 02:43:34.399 --> 02:43:34.840 Not bad? 2874 02:43:34.920 --> 02:43:35.399 Not bad? 2875 02:43:35.959 --> 02:43:36.920 Quick comment for you. 2876 02:43:38.399 --> 02:43:41.120 I know, I know he got good to Night fans, 2877 02:43:41.239 --> 02:43:43.360 but uh, I'm a big Jammy's ain't that? 2878 02:43:43.479 --> 02:43:45.440 And it have been for quite some time. And I 2879 02:43:45.959 --> 02:43:50.239 really liked your your story about him possibly winning the 2880 02:43:50.239 --> 02:43:52.440 title of Summerslan kind of like Daniel Bryan. But I 2881 02:43:52.440 --> 02:43:55.959 guess now it's not happening. I started getting back into 2882 02:43:56.239 --> 02:43:59.680 wrestling around the Bloodline starting, and I really think the 2883 02:43:59.719 --> 02:44:02.799 Big started to boom a lot once he kind of 2884 02:44:02.840 --> 02:44:05.079 got involved in the group and all those amazing segments 2885 02:44:05.120 --> 02:44:08.319 that they had. So my question is, do you think 2886 02:44:08.360 --> 02:44:11.680 he is the most deserving I guess wrestler right now 2887 02:44:11.719 --> 02:44:15.239 who should be a world champion, because I think he's 2888 02:44:15.600 --> 02:44:17.680 He's not only earned it, I think he's due for 2889 02:44:17.879 --> 02:44:21.040 a world title, and I do hope that he does 2890 02:44:21.079 --> 02:44:22.879 win the rubble next year, and not because it's in 2891 02:44:22.959 --> 02:44:25.319 Saudi and because like he's from that area, but I 2892 02:44:25.360 --> 02:44:28.280 really do think that he should be the one that 2893 02:44:28.319 --> 02:44:31.559 gets either the ww Championship or the World Heavyweight Championship, 2894 02:44:31.639 --> 02:44:34.040 either one. And do you feel the same way. 2895 02:44:35.079 --> 02:44:37.760 I would say, I mean, for the amount of for 2896 02:44:37.799 --> 02:44:39.959 the amount of time he's put in. Of the people 2897 02:44:40.000 --> 02:44:41.799 I could think of right now who I think are 2898 02:44:41.840 --> 02:44:44.760 overdue for a run, he probably would be at the 2899 02:44:44.760 --> 02:44:47.280 top of the list because he's really one of the 2900 02:44:47.319 --> 02:44:50.239 only ones left who hasn't really had that opportunity. So 2901 02:44:51.760 --> 02:44:54.799 and the story is right there. They've been acknowledging it 2902 02:44:54.840 --> 02:44:57.079 on TV. You can't win the big one, you have 2903 02:44:57.239 --> 02:45:00.440 never been world champions. So I think it's coming. I 2904 02:45:00.479 --> 02:45:02.319 think it's coming next year. I think it'll be the 2905 02:45:02.319 --> 02:45:06.360 world title, not the WWE title, I think, but yeah, 2906 02:45:06.399 --> 02:45:09.840 he would probably be you know, look, Kevin Owens is 2907 02:45:09.840 --> 02:45:13.079 another one. People can plain like it's been years, Kevin 2908 02:45:13.120 --> 02:45:15.520 Owens deserves a run. At least Kevin Owens had the 2909 02:45:15.600 --> 02:45:17.719 Universal title. Sammy never had anything. 2910 02:45:17.920 --> 02:45:21.239 Yeah, yeah, yeah, Sammy hasn't had his moment, yet Kevin 2911 02:45:21.280 --> 02:45:24.399 has like he's he's due. I know, I know he's 2912 02:45:24.440 --> 02:45:26.879 getting older and probably doesn't have like many years left. 2913 02:45:26.920 --> 02:45:29.079 I think like, I think he's due like next year 2914 02:45:29.159 --> 02:45:31.239 for sure. I think it's his time and he he's 2915 02:45:31.280 --> 02:45:31.920 definitely earned it. 2916 02:45:31.959 --> 02:45:33.399 I feel yeah, and I don't. I don't see it 2917 02:45:33.440 --> 02:45:36.440 being like a super long run, but I do think 2918 02:45:36.760 --> 02:45:38.440 I think it's gonna happen next year. I think the 2919 02:45:38.479 --> 02:45:39.440 time is right for it. 2920 02:45:41.559 --> 02:45:41.799 Yeah. 2921 02:45:41.879 --> 02:45:45.239 And then my last thing is I can see how 2922 02:45:45.360 --> 02:45:48.000 w W is trying to groom. I feel like the 2923 02:45:48.040 --> 02:45:50.559 next two big stars for the next decade. I feel 2924 02:45:50.600 --> 02:45:53.280 our bron Breaker and Jacob Plot two, and I feel 2925 02:45:53.280 --> 02:45:55.600 a lot of fans kind of think the same goes 2926 02:45:55.600 --> 02:45:57.920 to are gonna be like the next two guys to 2927 02:45:58.000 --> 02:46:00.840 kind of lead the charge. I am actually leaning towards 2928 02:46:00.879 --> 02:46:02.799 a different way. I do think they're both gonna be 2929 02:46:02.879 --> 02:46:06.639 mega like megastars, but I actually think Dominick in stereo 2930 02:46:07.520 --> 02:46:09.360 is going to be right there with them in terms 2931 02:46:09.360 --> 02:46:12.200 of like he's going to be a mega mega baby face. 2932 02:46:12.559 --> 02:46:14.959 I think those three will kind of be leaving the charge. 2933 02:46:15.120 --> 02:46:17.040 He's also younger than both of them too. He has 2934 02:46:17.079 --> 02:46:19.760 that on his side. But I know everybody's talking about 2935 02:46:19.879 --> 02:46:22.719 Jacob pot two Ron Breaker WrestleMania main event, you know, 2936 02:46:22.879 --> 02:46:25.000 but I think Dominic is gonna be right there with them. 2937 02:46:25.200 --> 02:46:26.079 What do you think about that? 2938 02:46:26.360 --> 02:46:29.319 Yeah, I don't disagree. I think that they're older. I 2939 02:46:29.399 --> 02:46:30.479 know how old is Bron. 2940 02:46:32.799 --> 02:46:34.920 I think he's like twenty nine maybe. 2941 02:46:34.600 --> 02:46:37.399 Okay, yeah, Jacob is definitely. I think Jacob's thirty three, 2942 02:46:37.479 --> 02:46:39.760 so Jacob is a little bit older. He's got a 2943 02:46:39.799 --> 02:46:43.239 lot more experience. I think Jacob will hit that kind 2944 02:46:43.280 --> 02:46:47.760 of WrestleMania main event level a lot sooner because he's 2945 02:46:47.799 --> 02:46:51.159 just more advanced than they are. But Dominic, you know, 2946 02:46:51.239 --> 02:46:53.399 if you would have told me that like five years ago, 2947 02:46:53.399 --> 02:46:55.239 I would have said, eah, I don't know about that. 2948 02:46:55.479 --> 02:46:59.920 But like you see the progression even just character wise 2949 02:47:00.120 --> 02:47:02.120 in ring. I think last year it was like some 2950 02:47:02.200 --> 02:47:05.600 crazy stat where he had more matches or more in 2951 02:47:05.719 --> 02:47:07.799 ring time than anybody else on the rosters. So like 2952 02:47:08.879 --> 02:47:12.159 in the ring, he's he's good. Yeah, character wise, he's 2953 02:47:12.280 --> 02:47:14.520 very entertaining. I agree. I think he'll be a super 2954 02:47:14.520 --> 02:47:17.239 babyface when the time is right. So yeah, I don't 2955 02:47:17.319 --> 02:47:19.559 I don't disagree with you. I think that he will be. 2956 02:47:20.680 --> 02:47:22.760 I don't want to say he's going to be, you know, 2957 02:47:22.959 --> 02:47:25.680 the guy, but I think he'll be in that group 2958 02:47:26.040 --> 02:47:28.799 that a few years from now is at the top 2959 02:47:28.840 --> 02:47:30.440 of the car. I think he'll be part of that group. 2960 02:47:32.680 --> 02:47:33.479 Yeah, for sure. 2961 02:47:33.520 --> 02:47:35.440 I think the guy that might not even be in 2962 02:47:36.200 --> 02:47:37.600 right now, I feel like m J. S could be 2963 02:47:37.639 --> 02:47:40.239 the guy once he's there. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I definitely 2964 02:47:40.280 --> 02:47:41.920 think he's gonna be right up for sure. 2965 02:47:42.000 --> 02:47:42.479 Yeah yeah. 2966 02:47:42.639 --> 02:47:44.600 I always thought montege Ford as well. But I don't 2967 02:47:44.600 --> 02:47:47.479 think montege Ford is gonna get the opportunity because. 2968 02:47:47.239 --> 02:47:50.840 I always he had the black look, my skills and 2969 02:47:50.959 --> 02:47:52.719 ring work, but I lost. 2970 02:47:52.799 --> 02:47:55.079 With him a year and a half ago, So I 2971 02:47:55.079 --> 02:47:57.559 don't think is gonna get that chance. 2972 02:47:57.600 --> 02:48:00.000 But thank you for answering my call. I appreciate it. 2973 02:48:00.120 --> 02:48:02.040 Been following you for over a decade now, so I 2974 02:48:02.040 --> 02:48:02.879 appreciate your call. 2975 02:48:03.079 --> 02:48:03.360 Thank you. 2976 02:48:03.360 --> 02:48:03.520 Man. 2977 02:48:03.559 --> 02:48:05.000 I'm glad you called in. I appreciate it. 2978 02:48:07.079 --> 02:48:07.360 Thank you. 2979 02:48:07.520 --> 02:48:10.760 All right, take care. Yeah, yeah, mont has for the 2980 02:48:10.760 --> 02:48:15.159 potential is still there. Is it going to happen? Probably not. 2981 02:48:16.680 --> 02:48:18.840 So there's a difference between saying that he can't do 2982 02:48:18.959 --> 02:48:21.280 it and doesn't have the potential to do it, or 2983 02:48:21.319 --> 02:48:23.719 that he won't get the opportunity. I don't know that 2984 02:48:23.760 --> 02:48:27.479 he's going to get the opportunity to do it. This 2985 02:48:27.559 --> 02:48:29.879 is the last one here we got seven oh two. 2986 02:48:30.040 --> 02:48:31.479 Is this our friend, super Pony? 2987 02:48:33.280 --> 02:48:33.920 Yes it is. 2988 02:48:34.079 --> 02:48:36.280 I thank you very much for letting me on. I 2989 02:48:36.360 --> 02:48:38.680 didn't expect you to let me on. I appreciate solo. 2990 02:48:38.719 --> 02:48:39.399 Thank you so much. 2991 02:48:39.399 --> 02:48:41.600 Glad I got you in. What's what's going on? What's 2992 02:48:41.600 --> 02:48:42.040 your question? 2993 02:48:44.719 --> 02:48:48.920 I was you mentioned Kevin Owens earlier when Ap and 2994 02:48:48.959 --> 02:48:52.120 Night was talking about Sam Musan getting a world title run. 2995 02:48:53.879 --> 02:48:57.760 Kevin Owens has been my favorite wrestler on the planet 2996 02:48:57.840 --> 02:48:59.959 since I first saw him in NXT and his Day 2997 02:49:00.120 --> 02:49:00.600 Do Match. 2998 02:49:00.719 --> 02:49:01.399 I love him. 2999 02:49:01.440 --> 02:49:03.600 I think he's incredible in the ring and on the mic. 3000 02:49:04.959 --> 02:49:07.280 My question is, I know right now he's out with 3001 02:49:07.360 --> 02:49:09.959 the neck injury and we don't know if he's going 3002 02:49:10.040 --> 02:49:13.520 to wrestle again. But if he ever does come back, 3003 02:49:13.559 --> 02:49:14.920 do you do you think they're going to give him 3004 02:49:14.959 --> 02:49:18.319 that world tyler run that think he deserves. 3005 02:49:18.719 --> 02:49:21.120 You know, it's it's so hard to say because I 3006 02:49:21.159 --> 02:49:24.239 don't see him coming back for a long time. So 3007 02:49:24.920 --> 02:49:27.159 you know we're talking we could be talking a year 3008 02:49:27.159 --> 02:49:29.120 and a half. I mean, we could be talking like 3009 02:49:29.239 --> 02:49:31.399 Randy Orton was out for eighteen months. He may be 3010 02:49:31.479 --> 02:49:35.399 gone for that long too, So what condition is he 3011 02:49:35.440 --> 02:49:37.000 going to be in if he does come back. Is 3012 02:49:37.000 --> 02:49:43.000 he going to be full time anymore? These two world titles, 3013 02:49:43.000 --> 02:49:45.719 I think the chances are pretty good that he'll hold 3014 02:49:45.760 --> 02:49:49.319 one of them. But I'm I'm with this injury. I'm 3015 02:49:49.319 --> 02:49:51.200 just I'm less certain than I would have been before 3016 02:49:51.680 --> 02:49:54.280 if you would have asked me this question six months ago. 3017 02:49:54.280 --> 02:49:56.159 I'm like, yeah, of course, at some point Kevin Owens 3018 02:49:56.200 --> 02:49:59.719 is going to win the championship. Again, I'm less certain 3019 02:49:59.719 --> 02:50:02.319 about that now because of his health. If he comes back, 3020 02:50:02.879 --> 02:50:06.079 you know, healthy, like like Randy did, then yeah, I 3021 02:50:06.079 --> 02:50:08.079 think he'll hold one of the world title. It may 3022 02:50:08.079 --> 02:50:10.079 not be the WWE title, but I think he'll He'll 3023 02:50:10.079 --> 02:50:11.559 be a champion at some point. 3024 02:50:12.680 --> 02:50:13.680 Yeah, I mean I agree. 3025 02:50:13.760 --> 02:50:16.479 I mean, like, when he does come back, he's he's 3026 02:50:16.520 --> 02:50:18.799 going to be like forty two, forty three years old, 3027 02:50:19.479 --> 02:50:22.159 and I just think it would be a shame if 3028 02:50:22.159 --> 02:50:24.159 he never I mean, because before he got here, he 3029 02:50:24.239 --> 02:50:26.680 was on an incredible run. Oh yeah, he was probably 3030 02:50:26.760 --> 02:50:29.920 one of the best parts of the television show. And 3031 02:50:30.000 --> 02:50:32.520 I think you see with him out how much he's 3032 02:50:32.600 --> 02:50:35.399 missed that. People probably didn't realize it when he was healthy, 3033 02:50:35.440 --> 02:50:38.280 but now that he's out, I mean, he he is 3034 02:50:38.280 --> 02:50:42.120 definitely missed on TV. And I just I really think 3035 02:50:42.159 --> 02:50:43.680 they should have just gave it to him when he 3036 02:50:43.719 --> 02:50:45.520 was shooting with Cody and then they could have just 3037 02:50:45.559 --> 02:50:47.639 had Cody went it back at the rumble. Really, I 3038 02:50:47.680 --> 02:50:49.000 really think they should have just did that. 3039 02:50:49.079 --> 02:50:52.600 Well they kind of did. I mean, they gave him 3040 02:50:52.639 --> 02:50:54.600 the belt the winged Eagle to walk around with for 3041 02:50:54.639 --> 02:50:57.399 a month. So for a month he walked around proclaiming 3042 02:50:57.440 --> 02:50:59.680 to be the champion. So and you know, in a 3043 02:50:59.680 --> 02:51:00.719 way he kind of was. 3044 02:51:03.319 --> 02:51:05.440 Yeah, that was a lot of fun when he was 3045 02:51:05.440 --> 02:51:08.520 doing that on TV. So yeah, thank you Solo for 3046 02:51:08.680 --> 02:51:10.440 letting me on again. I really appreciate it. 3047 02:51:10.479 --> 02:51:11.360 You didn't have to do it. 3048 02:51:11.399 --> 02:51:12.520 And I love your show. 3049 02:51:12.680 --> 02:51:15.719 Been watching for seven years and I love it. So 3050 02:51:15.879 --> 02:51:17.159 thank you very much for taking my call. 3051 02:51:17.280 --> 02:51:18.719 Man, Thank you man, it's good to have you on. 3052 02:51:18.920 --> 02:51:21.120 Have yourself a good night. I appreciate that very much. 3053 02:51:21.120 --> 02:51:24.200 I appreciate everybody who called in. Man, we had some 3054 02:51:24.280 --> 02:51:28.239 fun here. There are some weird ones Louise. We love 3055 02:51:28.319 --> 02:51:30.040 Louise here, but I'm still trying to figure out what 3056 02:51:30.079 --> 02:51:32.520 that second question was. Let me get to some of 3057 02:51:32.559 --> 02:51:35.879 the final superchats that came in before we get out 3058 02:51:35.879 --> 02:51:42.159 of here, because we got some more messages. Jeremy Rose says, 3059 02:51:42.440 --> 02:51:49.120 with Sina's last appearance being July eighteenth, before SummerSlam, Sena 3060 02:51:49.239 --> 02:51:54.200 Rhodes build will be crap like WrestleMania's build was. Is 3061 02:51:54.200 --> 02:51:57.680 that when his last advertised appearances, they may add more. 3062 02:51:57.719 --> 02:52:02.040 They have to have to add more. I don't have 3063 02:52:02.120 --> 02:52:05.159 high hopes for this rematch after what we saw WrestleMania. 3064 02:52:05.159 --> 02:52:07.680 I'm just letting you know right now, it's hard to 3065 02:52:07.719 --> 02:52:10.319 imagine that match being any worse than WrestleMania as was. 3066 02:52:10.399 --> 02:52:16.600 But I'm not I'm not having a lot of optimism 3067 02:52:16.639 --> 02:52:24.200 about it. Jonathan Peters says, you crapped on the idea 3068 02:52:24.319 --> 02:52:31.040 last Tuesday. But Tomatonga will join Jacob and Friday proved 3069 02:52:31.040 --> 02:52:38.159 it when Solo said his family is finally complete. So 3070 02:52:38.280 --> 02:52:40.959 you think they're going to break up Tomatonga and Tonga Low. 3071 02:52:42.319 --> 02:52:47.079 I don't know that Tomatonga is coming back so quickly. Yeah, 3072 02:52:47.079 --> 02:52:51.600 You're may be right. We'll find out I don't see it, 3073 02:52:51.639 --> 02:52:57.559 but we'll find out. Power spying games late remembrance of 3074 02:52:57.600 --> 02:53:00.000 the oh, the London bombings twenty years ago. That's where 3075 02:53:00.000 --> 02:53:06.799 all right? That was right around this time. Zizu, thank you. 3076 02:53:07.959 --> 02:53:10.920 I appreciate you staying up with me. Joseph Stewart, are 3077 02:53:10.920 --> 02:53:13.319 you a fan of Missus Doubtfire and what is your 3078 02:53:13.360 --> 02:53:16.000 favorite scene in Missus Doubtfire? I am a fan of 3079 02:53:16.040 --> 02:53:19.239 Missus Doubtfire. It's the one where he lights his tits 3080 02:53:19.280 --> 02:53:27.159 on fire when he's cooking.

This stream with 3086 02:53:48.920 --> 02:53:52.799 some WWE two K twenty five online is really helping me. 3087 02:53:52.920 --> 02:53:56.520 Thank you Solo. I'm sorry to hear that, but I'm 3088 02:53:56.559 --> 02:53:59.479 glad the stream could could be of some help. I 3089 02:53:59.520 --> 02:54:03.040 hear that quite a bit from people, and it's just 3090 02:54:03.040 --> 02:54:04.440 a good way to take your mind to have some 3091 02:54:04.479 --> 02:54:06.799 of the shitty things in life sometimes. But Scumdog I'm 3092 02:54:06.879 --> 02:54:10.079 very happy to hear that. Oh my god.

So you got a lot of people 3097 02:54:20.600 --> 02:54:23.600 thinking about Gan here and Javili. I thought that was 3098 02:54:23.680 --> 02:54:26.120 gonna be a but Javili comes in and says, I meant, 3099 02:54:26.159 --> 02:54:33.000 who uh oh, favorite wrestler turned singer or actor?

I don't know. 3104 02:54:55.399 --> 02:54:57.360 I don't know about singer, but I might go with 3105 02:54:57.440 --> 02:55:02.799 Dave Batista.
