Speaker 1: This is WWE Superstar Drew McIntyre and you're listening to
Speaker 1: the WWE podcast, the.
Speaker 2: Show, the one that everybody wants me godt fore sixteen.
Speaker 1: So I just used your ass is my arm?
Speaker 2: You can acknowledge me.
Speaker 3: Well, Backlash has come and gone, and we are now
Speaker 3: focused on Saturday Night main event as the next kind
Speaker 3: of ple e and then from there it's onto money
Speaker 3: in the bank. But this is going to be a
Speaker 3: show up and down, from wall to wall backlash as
Speaker 3: intended by the title, and overall, I will say I
Speaker 3: I did enjoy Backlash, despite the fact that they were
Speaker 3: not as many returns or swerves as I would have liked.
Speaker 3: And yes, we got a debut, one that no one
Speaker 3: saw coming and one that made me and a lot
Speaker 3: of people be honest, go who's this again? Who right?
Speaker 3: And we'll get to that debut that new member of
Speaker 3: the Blood and the newest member of the Bloodline in
Speaker 3: just a few minutes, because that Bloodline story just will
Speaker 3: not die. There have been so many iterations, in twists
Speaker 3: and turns in that story. Are we all ready to
Speaker 3: say it's over yet? Are we all? Every time you
Speaker 3: think the Bloodline story is kind of fizzling out. They
Speaker 3: just find a way to revive it. And sometimes it's
Speaker 3: really good. Sometimes it's okay, and this time, yeah, it's
Speaker 3: a new face. But I'm kind of ready for the
Speaker 3: Bloodline to stop being a thing. I don't know how
Speaker 3: you guys feel about it, but just generally, I'm just
Speaker 3: I don't know, I'm just no matter it's seemingly what
Speaker 3: they do to it, They've kind of done everything. They've
Speaker 3: introduced new people, They've had people turn babyface and heel
Speaker 3: from it. They've had champions go four years plus running
Speaker 3: the company. We've had an absentee champion, Roman Reigns. We've
Speaker 3: had a Babyface infiltrate, a heel group with Sammy Zain.
Speaker 3: We've had a new version of the Bloodline version two
Speaker 3: point zero with Solo Socoa and his his tonguins and
Speaker 3: now the new guy will get to him. And so
Speaker 3: we've kind of seen it all done at all, and
Speaker 3: I'm not I will say I'm not against watching it.
Speaker 3: I just feel like I'm it's being oversaturated and they
Speaker 3: are squeezing every ounce of this Bloodline faction that they
Speaker 3: can out of out of the story, and that's their job.
Speaker 3: I guess, But thank you everybody for joining me here.
Speaker 3: I hope you all enjoyed Backlash. I was not an
Speaker 3: active participant very much. I was exhausted yesterday, so I
Speaker 3: didn't get to watch backlast really till this morning, and
Speaker 3: even then I didn't watch every single thing. I did
Speaker 3: skim through some things and go through entrances and just
Speaker 3: watch the matches, which saves you a lot of time.
Speaker 3: By the way, if you're not a big entrance person
Speaker 3: and just want to watch the meat of the whole show,
Speaker 3: you can, and it cuts the time at about half.
Speaker 3: But I think the time overall was a nice pace
Speaker 3: for the show. I mean three hours, you can't beat
Speaker 3: that for a ple And it was very wrestling heavy,
Speaker 3: as ples tend to be outside WrestleMania, and there's a
Speaker 3: lot to get to. There's a lot to get to,
Speaker 3: but first I want to get to big Ease comments.
Speaker 3: Y'all know I was going to talk about this Biggie
Speaker 3: on the pre show, talking about quote unquote giving grace
Speaker 3: to the older performers, the older women female performers, and
Speaker 3: again it came in response to Becky Lynch's comments. So
Speaker 3: Becky Lynch had said that quote I'll do continue to
Speaker 3: do what I'm doing. I'll be great. I'll just beat
Speaker 3: all these younger people, beat newer people. It's not that hard.
Speaker 3: For some reason, it seems to be hard. It seems
Speaker 3: to be harder on the women's vision. Look at all
Speaker 3: the men. Who do you got that's hot and young
Speaker 3: over there? None? You got a bunch of old lads
Speaker 3: beating each other up. Nobody's saying nothing. The man really
Speaker 3: drove her point home when she said that no one
Speaker 3: is asking for Sampunker, even seth Rollins to step aside
Speaker 3: and big Eie, here's what Biggie said about that, you
Speaker 3: see two Irish women.
Speaker 4: I feel like so much of the narrative is is
Speaker 4: this a passing.
Speaker 2: Of the torch moment?
Speaker 4: But it's also very interesting when I hear from Becky
Speaker 4: and she talks a lot about age and the way
Speaker 4: we talk about age with the women and the way
Speaker 4: we talk about age with the men, and that for
Speaker 4: a lot of women who are in their late thirties,
Speaker 4: it's all are you winding down? When are you ready
Speaker 4: to get out? It feels like seventy five percent of
Speaker 4: the male side is thirty eight thirty ninety five ready
Speaker 4: Randy wanted to do another ten years exactly exactly. So
Speaker 4: let's give the women the same honor in the same
Speaker 4: grace as well.
Speaker 3: Okay, first of all, mister male feminist, all right, the
Speaker 3: first couple things, all right, And to hear that from Biggie,
Speaker 3: I mean it's such a it feels like a corporate line,
Speaker 3: does it not. Okay, two big things here. One, men
Speaker 3: and women are different. I know that comes as a shock,
Speaker 3: It probably comes as a revelation, but if you look around,
Speaker 3: you just kind of can tell inherently that men and
Speaker 3: women are not the same. They don't age the same,
Speaker 3: they don't have the same strengths and weaknesses. And if
Speaker 3: we're just talking about physically now, just physically, men are superior.
Speaker 3: They just are biologically right. Otherwise, I mean, men competing
Speaker 3: in women's sports it would be a travesty. And we're
Speaker 3: seeing that now and a lot of actions taken. Again,
Speaker 3: So what there should which should be? I mean, you
Speaker 3: can't have men competing in women's sports. That's what the
Speaker 3: delineation is for fairness, right, But that aside, Okay, the
Speaker 3: fact that men and women are different. The idea though,
Speaker 3: that we have to give women grace right, and that
Speaker 3: Becky first of all, can't speak proper English, Okay. I
Speaker 3: mean she says, quote, you got a bunch of old
Speaker 3: lads beating each other up. Nobody's saying nothing. That's from
Speaker 3: Becky Lynch. Expand, Becky, please please expand on that. It
Speaker 3: seems to be harder on the women's division. How in
Speaker 3: what way? Because of age?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Age is a big factor because women do not age
Speaker 3: the same. When you take a woman who already is
Speaker 3: physically limited compared to the men, and physically limited in
Speaker 3: the ring compared to men, their muscle mass, their bone density,
Speaker 3: everything down to their cellular level degrades at a slower
Speaker 3: pace than men. That's just that's just fact. Okay. So
Speaker 3: you don't have a lot of these women. Do you
Speaker 3: see Sable wanting to come out at sixty years old
Speaker 3: and have a match? Who do you see on the
Speaker 3: women's side that the ww fans or the w WE
Speaker 3: are like, hey, you know what was that person doing?
Speaker 2: These days?
Speaker 3: You don't see it because women are not as physically
Speaker 3: strong and capable as men period. I mean, we just
Speaker 3: had Stone Cold come out of retirement a few years ago,
Speaker 3: sixty years old, nearly sixty and had a bust ass
Speaker 3: match with Kevin Owens. Right, we had John Cena and
Speaker 3: Randy Orton at nearly fifty years old, nearly fifty having
Speaker 3: a hell of a match last night at Backlash. So yeah,
Speaker 3: these men are because well, yes, their drive and their
Speaker 3: their lifestyle and all that helps promote their maintaining, maintaining
Speaker 3: of muscle mass and all of that, and their lung
Speaker 3: capacity which is far superior to women's. Again, physically, I'm
Speaker 3: not talking about mentally. I'm not talking about emotionally. I'm
Speaker 3: not talking about what they contribute to society as a whole,
Speaker 3: or that women don't have strengths. I know a lot
Speaker 3: of you are reading into this. I'm talking about physically
Speaker 3: purely from a professional wrestling standpoint, all right, but very
Speaker 3: clear about that. No matter what I say, I'm sure
Speaker 3: I'm already angering some of you. And that's just is
Speaker 3: what it is. If you're angry at this, then you
Speaker 3: have your own agenda, which it means you're just angry
Speaker 3: at facts. I have no issue if women want to
Speaker 3: come out of retirement, Okay, that's fine with me, but
Speaker 3: it's going to be embarrassing and it's also going to
Speaker 3: be unsafe. It's I mean, yes, there's an inherent risk
Speaker 3: even for men that come out and they're older, because
Speaker 3: they're just we are all slaves to father time. They all,
Speaker 3: we all will die. We all have our bodies right
Speaker 3: now as we speak, breaking down. That's it, right, But
Speaker 3: men do it at a slower pace and they're able
Speaker 3: to absorb more punishment in the ring for a longer
Speaker 3: period of time. Professional wrestling forever will be a man's sport.
Speaker 3: It just will be. You're gonna have women who do
Speaker 3: a hell of a job and they're always going to
Speaker 3: be a part of professional wrestling, but pro wrestling at
Speaker 3: its core will always be a man's sport. It just
Speaker 3: is going to be. It doesn't need to transition to
Speaker 3: a female sport, and it really wouldn't anyway. People don't
Speaker 3: want that. I don't think people. People just want a
Speaker 3: healthy mix, and you're not going to see a lot
Speaker 3: of these women at fifty five sixty years old do this.
Speaker 3: It's not gonna happen, so big ee cool it all right.
Speaker 3: I know he's trying to play the I'm an ally
Speaker 3: of the feminist card. I can see it. Unless I mean,
Speaker 3: he probably truly believes it too, which makes it worse.
Speaker 3: I'd love to have to ask him like, Okay, what
Speaker 3: do you mean by that? Exactly? Give them the same
Speaker 3: grace in what way? Because of their age? Are we
Speaker 3: now being sexist and agist? Is it because when they
Speaker 3: get older they don't look as good? So that's why
Speaker 3: we're saying they can't compete and they shouldn't commit. But
Speaker 3: come back, is that what you're implying is because they
Speaker 3: as women get older, they don't look as good. Is
Speaker 3: that what you're implying And that's what we care about
Speaker 3: the most. Is that what you're saying, Biggie sounds like it.
Speaker 3: But also, Becky Lynch, on top of all this, has
Speaker 3: said recently that she would beat MJF in a promo. Yes, yes,
Speaker 3: she said that. I don't know what world, what reality
Speaker 3: Becky Lynch is Rebecca Quinn is living in. She cannot
Speaker 3: truly believe that she would in a shoot promo or
Speaker 3: even a work promo because MJF would add his own flavor,
Speaker 3: actually come out on top against MJF. She's kidding, right, MJF.
Speaker 3: I think could school John Cena. And that is saying
Speaker 3: something right now, MJF. Is he is the best promo
Speaker 3: I've ever seen in my lifetime by a mile. Becky
Speaker 3: Lynch can't even form a sentence, and she thinks that
Speaker 3: she could defeat MJF in a promo. Is this just
Speaker 3: trying to get attention? Is this her just trying to
Speaker 3: scream for attention? Is that what this is? It's a
Speaker 3: cry for attention, Becky Lynch saying that she could defeat MJF.
Speaker 3: MJF in his sleep you know, you know how some
Speaker 3: people sleep talk in his sleep talk? Could torch Becky
Speaker 3: Lynch much less a fully conscious, rested MJF. I don't
Speaker 3: I mean, she can't truly believe this. She can't believe
Speaker 3: it herself, So I don't know if she's trying to
Speaker 3: fool Becky Lynch. Just is zero for two here and
Speaker 3: then you got Biggie oh for one. All right, Well,
Speaker 3: if I've still got you with me, and you're currently
Speaker 3: in the middle of writing a review that I'm I
Speaker 3: don't know, some kind of some kind of hateful, sexist whatever,
Speaker 3: continue I don't want to interrupt, So continue with that review, which,
Speaker 3: by the way, those reviews help me, So go ahead
Speaker 3: and post it all you want. But let's get to
Speaker 3: the backlash, alright, because that's where you're here. Let's talk
Speaker 3: about John Cena, Let's talk about Randy or I'm going
Speaker 3: to go right to it, because this match was awesome.
Speaker 3: I know a lot of people, including myself, looked at
Speaker 3: this as a match that ended our childhood at least
Speaker 3: our our ruthless aggression or ruthless aggression childhood era. It
Speaker 3: was a way to close that chapter forever. It is
Speaker 3: the last time unless something changes. But I doubt it
Speaker 3: that Randy Orton and John Cena are ever going to
Speaker 3: have a match together. So that's kind of sad that
Speaker 3: we see that also kind you know, kind of appreciative
Speaker 3: as well. It was an appreciative, sad moment. I don't
Speaker 3: care that John Sena is heel, doesn't matter to me.
Speaker 3: That meant nothing. He clearly meant nothing to the fans
Speaker 3: afterwards too, who were still channing for Cena and thank
Speaker 3: you and all that who were cheering for him after
Speaker 3: the show and off the air, And I want to
Speaker 3: talk about that moment too, because I still think it's
Speaker 3: a work. Meaning John Cena is appreciative of that moment.
Speaker 3: I'm sure he felt that moment in real life of
Speaker 3: the fans saying thank you, and he had this look
Speaker 3: on his face of just sadness as the reality of
Speaker 3: his career coming to a close is starting to really
Speaker 3: catch up to him. That that's what I read in
Speaker 3: that moment. If you watch the after show footage where
Speaker 3: he's holding his belt and the fans are channing and
Speaker 3: he just kind of walks up the ramp, and then
Speaker 3: after the show he ends up saying that, you know,
Speaker 3: to the reporters kind of in a very monotone voice,
Speaker 3: that you guys, you know you deserve a little better
Speaker 3: you you know you earn your chance to be here.
Speaker 3: Somebody takes a question or gives a question to Seena,
Speaker 3: and then Our Truth interrupts and we know what happens there.
Speaker 3: Scena gives Our Truth an AA through the table during
Speaker 3: the post conference, the post press conference. So I still
Speaker 3: think John Cena's heel. I know a lot of people
Speaker 3: are looking to this as a baby face turn. I
Speaker 3: think it's a red herring. It's him trying to loop
Speaker 3: us in just to drop us again. I think he's
Speaker 3: trying to double down on it. We saw this a
Speaker 3: couple of times throughout you know throughout history in w
Speaker 3: big turns, including stone colds. If you remember again a
Speaker 3: failed turn, Austin ended up turning heel. It's wrestlinga seventeen.
Speaker 3: No one wanted to see it. And then he comes
Speaker 3: out the next and that under raw and looks like
Speaker 3: he's gonna whip Vince McMahon's ass. He doesn't. He turns
Speaker 3: again on the crowd, and then actually a third time
Speaker 3: he ends up as the whole Alliance versus WWF. At
Speaker 3: the time was going on. Vince said he needs the
Speaker 3: old stone Cold. Austin eventually gives him that old stone Cold,
Speaker 3: but turns again on the WWF joins the Alliance as
Speaker 3: the leader of the Alliance to try to triple down
Speaker 3: on his heel turn, which still didn't work. So I
Speaker 3: think we might be getting that from Sena. It might
Speaker 3: be a trap that we're all supposed to fall into
Speaker 3: where the footage is shown and ww wants us to
Speaker 3: see it and seen it seems kind of humbled and
Speaker 3: he realizes the error of his ways, only to drop
Speaker 3: us again. Now, John Cena's final match I believe has
Speaker 3: been announced, or at least his final date. It's going
Speaker 3: to be in December at the TD Garden in Boston
Speaker 3: for his final appearance slash probably final match, So we
Speaker 3: do know when, at least the location, so there is that,
Speaker 3: but just be careful of that moment. A lot of
Speaker 3: people are looking to that as a baby face turn,
Speaker 3: but I don't think that's coming yet. I think he's
Speaker 3: going to really try to, you know, give it a
Speaker 3: second chance here. And I have to say, John Cena's
Speaker 3: heel turned has been very strange. It doesn't feel right still,
Speaker 3: and maybe that's because you have twenty five years of
Speaker 3: somebody being some a certain way and then when they
Speaker 3: turned suddenly, it's it feels a little bit like really
Speaker 3: a quarter century apparently you faked it, you know, But
Speaker 3: I don't. I don't think that this was still the
Speaker 3: wrong choice. I do believe that John scen to turning heel.
Speaker 3: I would have if given the opportunity, I'd still do
Speaker 3: it all over again, because I'd rather get to the
Speaker 3: end of John Cena's career and go, eh, Well, that
Speaker 3: didn't work the way we quite hoped it would. The
Speaker 3: success wasn't as high as we hoped it was going
Speaker 3: to be. The numbers and all that, and the reception
Speaker 3: but you know what, we had the balls to do it.
Speaker 3: To me, that is more important that you actually went
Speaker 3: through it, even if it didn't work out the way
Speaker 3: you hoped. So what I'd rather know that than go
Speaker 3: back and go oh man, but like what would that
Speaker 3: have looked like? So, but the match was really good.
Speaker 3: I enjoyed their pacing as we expected. The pacing of
Speaker 3: the match was was awesome. Yes, the kickouts of finishes,
Speaker 3: the aa IS is about as effective as a closed
Speaker 3: line at this point. We've known that for twenty five
Speaker 3: years as well. No Travis Scott, we had the obligatory
Speaker 3: ref bump. The ref took a hell of a belt
Speaker 3: shot off his face by the way, woof, And then
Speaker 3: all the you know, all the manage, all management comes
Speaker 3: out and Nick all this comes out, and all of
Speaker 3: you know, the agents come out to try to look
Speaker 3: at the and help the referee, which, by the way,
Speaker 3: why wouldn't he have just sent another referee out? If
Speaker 3: this match is so important, how can you not have
Speaker 3: somebody officiating it? What are you doing out there? Just
Speaker 3: send the medical team out? What are you gonna do?
Speaker 3: They're the trained medical professionals, you know what I mean?
Speaker 3: So logically, it didn't make sense for any of them
Speaker 3: to be out there other than bring out the EMTs
Speaker 3: if you think there's something going on and immediately have
Speaker 3: a referee at hand. I mean, this is something and
Speaker 3: I know it's pro wrestling, and I'm not actually hammering
Speaker 3: WWE because it's pro wrestling, and this is just one
Speaker 3: of those holes we have to accept in our brains.
Speaker 3: Is with how many refs take bumps, especially during main
Speaker 3: events that's been going on for like fifty years. How
Speaker 3: does not have a backup ref at the ready to
Speaker 3: go so there's no gap in the officiating of a match,
Speaker 3: you know what I mean? It takes forever for someone
Speaker 3: to come to or for someone to come from the back,
Speaker 3: and there's this several minute gap. How is that even possible?
Speaker 3: After it happening nearly every single time, especially in the
Speaker 3: modern age it's much more common. But Nick, all this
Speaker 3: getting the RKO and you know, five other people, six
Speaker 3: other people getting the RKO is funny. You would think
Speaker 3: that this is the third time now that Nick Alldos
Speaker 3: has got in the RKO. It's going to lead to something.
Speaker 3: It has to, and I would think it's got to
Speaker 3: be Nick alldis not just finding him. Maybe he comes
Speaker 3: out on SmackDown, maybe he does say he's Randy Orton suspended,
Speaker 3: but maybe Randy Orton shows up. Anyway, RKO is him
Speaker 3: a fourth time, and that's what snaps Nick. But he
Speaker 3: could also come out and say, you know what, I
Speaker 3: was gonna find him. I was going to suspend him,
Speaker 3: but I think I want to punish him in a
Speaker 3: different way. And he shows his ring gear, right, I
Speaker 3: think Nick Aldis taking on Randy Orton would be fun.
Speaker 3: Why not be a fun, little little kind of side
Speaker 3: show there. I'd have no issue with it. Nick alldos,
Speaker 3: I've been waiting to see what he's got left too,
Speaker 3: So that'll be a fun response to a third RKO
Speaker 3: on Nick all this. But yeah, the match ends with
Speaker 3: a belt shot and John cenor Saint as she should have.
Speaker 3: I know we're in Saint Louis, it's Randy Orton's hometown.
Speaker 3: I get it, But did anyone truly believe that Randy
Speaker 3: Orton had a chance, especially the way that the build
Speaker 3: led up to it and Randy Orton RKO John Cena
Speaker 3: like three times on the way to their match at Backlash.
Speaker 3: If that wasn't a telltale sign that he was going
Speaker 3: to lose at the Plee. I don't know what was
Speaker 3: all right? So what other matches took place beyond the
Speaker 3: main event? I mean I spent twenty minutes here talking
Speaker 3: about Biggie and Becky Lynch. And now the main event.
Speaker 3: Let's go to the actual Fatal four Way for the
Speaker 3: United States Championship. I know in my previous show I
Speaker 3: said it was one on one, but that was because
Speaker 3: the PREVIEWRS reading was wrong and I thought they changed something.
Speaker 3: But no, it's Fatal four way Jacob Fattu Drew Mcatire,
Speaker 3: Damian Priest and l Knight for the United States Championship.
Speaker 3: Crowd was really in Fatu's corner here. I mean, they
Speaker 3: still see a star, we all do. He's got a
Speaker 3: very much Umaga. Look. Umaga had a great face for
Speaker 3: the business, a great marketable face for the business. He
Speaker 3: was believable, he looked genuinely mean, he's got that trait
Speaker 3: going for him. Fatu is to me reminiscent of Umaga
Speaker 3: in a lot of ways. And so this match, let
Speaker 3: me just give you the time here. Do I have
Speaker 3: the time?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Eighteen minutes just under a shade under eighteen minutes where
Speaker 3: we had a Jacob Fatu retaining the United States Championship.
Speaker 3: I think a lot of people anticipated this, but boy
Speaker 3: was I mean the match was just really good. Now,
Speaker 3: up until the debut of Jeff Cobb, we did have
Speaker 3: a bust ass match as expected, the Claymores, the kickouts, yes,
Speaker 3: the kickouts of a zillion finishers, and that needs to
Speaker 3: just stop. Someone in w W needs to get in
Speaker 3: the ear of triple h. And can we just make
Speaker 3: it a policy. Can we have just like maybe a
Speaker 3: running lottery where like per month, per month, there's but
Speaker 3: maybe three kickouts of finishes, not including house shows. I'll
Speaker 3: let how shows do what they want, but include any
Speaker 3: televised event. There are only three times in total for
Speaker 3: every match televised that you can have a kickout of
Speaker 3: a finish. So we start to re educate the audience
Speaker 3: that kickouts of finishes are exciting, they're unexpected, they're a
Speaker 3: big moment. Even the announcers don't even get excited anymore,
Speaker 3: or at least they can't even pretend to get excited
Speaker 3: about kickouts of finishes. You can hear in their voice
Speaker 3: that they anticipated Michael Cole is like, I had a
Speaker 3: Claymore from McIntyre and you know he's won two, you know,
Speaker 3: and oh in five two kicks out, Like he's not
Speaker 3: even excited when there's a finish because he knows that
Speaker 3: he's you know, he's seen it a gajillion times, so
Speaker 3: he's not even going to try to sell it because
Speaker 3: he doesn't even believe it in the pretend world. That's
Speaker 3: how beaten down we are that we can't even play
Speaker 3: pretend that it's exciting anymore. So it would I think
Speaker 3: it would be a really big deal for the business,
Speaker 3: just WWE if they just implement a policy where guys
Speaker 3: can we just reduce our kickouts and finishes, stop using
Speaker 3: it as a crutch. I know it's cool when kickouts
Speaker 3: and finishes happen, but it needs to happen less, not more,
Speaker 3: for a whole host of reasons that I won't dive
Speaker 3: into that I've gone into before. But the match was good.
Speaker 3: Now Here here's the finish. We had Priest run Fatu
Speaker 3: into the ring post slam his head on the broadcast table.
Speaker 3: Knight put Fatu on top of the broadcast table, went
Speaker 3: to the second rope and played to the crowd and
Speaker 3: then Solo comes out pulled Fatu off the broadcast table.
Speaker 3: Night goes after Solo, but he was punched by a
Speaker 3: man on the other side of the barricade. Jeff Cobb,
Speaker 3: who's wearing a black shirt and black pants, was mentioned
Speaker 3: by Cole as the man who hit La Night, and
Speaker 3: Fatu recovered, seemingly surprised by Cobb's involvement as he looked
Speaker 3: at him, and Solo mentioned for Fatu to return to
Speaker 3: the ring and have his way with Knight, and Fatu
Speaker 3: did that and hit his Moon Salt finish for the victory.
Speaker 3: So instead of a Solo Soca turn that I predicted,
Speaker 3: and I think some of us did a lot of
Speaker 3: you did too, we get not only Solo not turning,
Speaker 3: but another member added. Now the member being added could
Speaker 3: be the an ultimate setup for Solo to turn on
Speaker 3: Fatu because he has somebody to watch his back in
Speaker 3: Jeff Cobb. So when you know Fatu tries to get
Speaker 3: his hands out Solo, Jeff Cobb could be the one
Speaker 3: to interfere, and then you got a Jeff Cobb versus
Speaker 3: you know, Fatu matchup, and so there could be just
Speaker 3: setting the groundwork for that now instead of just solo turning.
Speaker 3: And I'm fine with that too. I don't need it now.
Speaker 3: I just was wrong. So again, when I heard Jeff Cobb,
Speaker 3: I'm I'm thinking. I looked at the screen, I looked
Speaker 3: at I'm like who, I said, who's this dude? And
Speaker 3: I know a lot of you are probably how'd you
Speaker 3: not know? It's because, hey, I don't have the time.
Speaker 3: I just simply don't have the time to watch you know,
Speaker 3: things that aren't on the main roster. I just don't.
Speaker 3: I don't. So that's the simple answer. I got too
Speaker 3: much going on for me to do that. So for
Speaker 3: somebody who's not locked in to the outside forces that
Speaker 3: are not WWE the main roster, I just I'm just
Speaker 3: everyone's reacting in the arena, which made me feel stupid.
Speaker 3: But also I'm thinking to myself, how's anyone at home
Speaker 3: sitting there going, Oh, I know who that is? I
Speaker 3: don't know who the f this dude is. So anyway,
Speaker 3: that aside, Jeff Cob, good luck, big guy, and it'll
Speaker 3: be fun to see how he fits into the store
Speaker 3: line here. So then we have Lyra Valkyria versus Becky
Speaker 3: Lynch for the women's Intercontinental Championship. I really enjoyed this one.
Speaker 3: This was a lot of fun. This may have been
Speaker 3: one of the longest singles women's matches that I've seen
Speaker 3: in a long time. Nearly nineteen minutes, eighteen minutes and
Speaker 3: forty five seconds for this matchup, and it deserved every
Speaker 3: minute of it. This was a really good match. Not
Speaker 3: so I mean Becky had You know what kind of
Speaker 3: wrestler she is. She's very good. We know what she is,
Speaker 3: we know her legacy. She's a walk in Hall of Famer,
Speaker 3: we know that. But for Lyra, who's been on a roll,
Speaker 3: I think it was very important for her as this
Speaker 3: is clearly the most important match of her entire career
Speaker 3: to continue that momentum and build on her promo that
Speaker 3: she had last week that actually made her have a personality.
Speaker 3: It appeared she had one, and she built on it
Speaker 3: brilliantly this time last night with a quality match with
Speaker 3: Becky Lynch. And here's the finish if he didn't catch it.
Speaker 3: Lynch attacked valkyriap sorry, Lynch runs into Valkyria, who was
Speaker 3: the turnbuckle was exposed. The referee got in the way
Speaker 3: and then went to ringside and grabbed the turnbuckle pad. Meanwhile,
Speaker 3: Lyra hit Lynch with her night wing finish, but the
Speaker 3: referee was focused on the turnbuckle pad and was too
Speaker 3: late to get the three got a two count, and
Speaker 3: Lynch then stuffed the night wing attempt and thumbed the
Speaker 3: eye of Valkyria, who was able to catch Lynch in
Speaker 3: a pin for a three count while also selling her eye.
Speaker 3: And then Lynch immediately attacks with Lyra and put her
Speaker 3: in the disarmer adam pears, referees, producers ran out, and
Speaker 3: eventually she released the hold and Cole told said Valkyria
Speaker 3: retained her title. Then questioned at what cost, and Lynch
Speaker 3: headed to the back and Cole said Valcaria may have
Speaker 3: broken her nose, but said she had arrived, and that's
Speaker 3: exactly right. I think that's a great way for Cole
Speaker 3: to put it. Lyra has arrived. At first, she came
Speaker 3: in as a kind of shy, meek, not so confident.
Speaker 3: And again, if you didn't watch NXT, kind of a
Speaker 3: generic NXT you know, call up, you didn't know too much,
Speaker 3: you weren't that interested. And now she has by far
Speaker 3: over the last week. Again, just the last week, I
Speaker 3: think she has risen higher than anybody at the beginning
Speaker 3: of the week. So she has had the highest upward
Speaker 3: momentum out of anybody in the last seven days. I think,
Speaker 3: so good for her. I think that there's more to
Speaker 3: be had here. She'll have her down time, she'll have
Speaker 3: her uptimes, and right now we're in one of those
Speaker 3: ascents and we'll see how far it can take her.
Speaker 3: And you know how she follows up here. But I,
Speaker 3: like many thought Becky Lynch was going to win, because
Speaker 3: if she lost, it's like, well, she just turned, where's
Speaker 3: her to go? And really where her is for to
Speaker 3: go is simply darker. That's where she goes. She starts
Speaker 3: to spiral. That's what she does. It was so obvious
Speaker 3: to me afterwards, where she just continues to complain and
Speaker 3: blame her and blame the fans and whoever else anyone
Speaker 3: gets blamed other than herself, and she's gonna spiral and
Speaker 3: that's fine with me, all right. So then we have
Speaker 3: Penta versus Dominic for the Intercontinental Championship. Nine minutes and
Speaker 3: twenty seconds. So this one was short. This was half
Speaker 3: the time that Lyra and Becky were how about that?
Speaker 3: But Dominic gets some pretty good crowd support here. Now.
Speaker 3: The finish was Carlito walking out, distracting the ref, and
Speaker 3: Finn and JD hopped the barricade. McDonough held Penta, but
Speaker 3: Baler took his sweet time until the referee turned around
Speaker 3: and spotted them, and Penta dove over the ref, hit
Speaker 3: a flip dive on carl Toohi, McDonough and Balor climbed
Speaker 3: on the apron argue with the ref while Penta was
Speaker 3: on the ropes. Al Grande Americano showed up headbudted Penta
Speaker 3: while the ref was distracted, and Dom went up top
Speaker 3: and hit the frog splash on Penta before pinning him,
Speaker 3: and Dom defeats Penta in nine minutes and twenty seconds
Speaker 3: to retain the Intercontinental Championship. This this was good. It
Speaker 3: didn't blow me away. We still again, just like I
Speaker 3: potentially thought a solo socoaturn could happen on Fatu, thought
Speaker 3: that Finn could turn on Dom here and that didn't happen.
Speaker 3: We did not get a Dom Finn explosion. Yet they
Speaker 3: are on the slow burn pace. I think sometimes I
Speaker 3: fall back on the Vince McMahon era of something, you know,
Speaker 3: rushing through things and not building slowly and just pulled
Speaker 3: the trigger while we can type of mentality, and Triple
Speaker 3: H has shown quite the opposite over the last two years,
Speaker 3: so this is fine with me. They're building to something.
Speaker 3: And as I mentioned at on my Backlash review show
Speaker 3: that backlash is very much, often, very often a just
Speaker 3: kind of a leftover from WrestleMania. Not really a ton
Speaker 3: of title changes happened here. In fact, it's the least
Speaker 3: probably the least likely pl for any title to the
Speaker 3: change hands is backlash, and that certainly held true last night. Alright,
Speaker 3: So then we got a video package for Gunther and
Speaker 3: McAfee in this match with guntherer McAfee that fourteen minutes.
Speaker 3: If you told me this match was going to go
Speaker 3: fourteen minutes, I would have had a really hard time
Speaker 3: believing you. But it did because of the pace, and
Speaker 3: I mean, McAfee showed his toughness, had some hope spots,
Speaker 3: he showed he can go, he can brawl, he can
Speaker 3: even wrestle a little bit. And I also like Coal
Speaker 3: getting involved. That to me was this is a weird
Speaker 3: thing for me to say, but it's almost as if
Speaker 3: for Michael Cole that was the moment that showed the
Speaker 3: fans have completely turned or fallen, I don't want to
Speaker 3: say in love, but they've I guess, finally showed their
Speaker 3: appreciation to Cole. And I know it's in a wrestling
Speaker 3: story capacity, but the fans have really had a chance
Speaker 3: to cheer Coal in a storyline scenario. He's throughout the
Speaker 3: year has been really shown as a heel. Remember the
Speaker 3: coal mine, and the fans despise or really they were
Speaker 3: sour on Coal because he didn't sound like Jim Ross.
Speaker 3: And whoever was going to follow Jim Ross immediately was
Speaker 3: in the hole because you're following the greatest announcer of
Speaker 3: all time. And I still believe he is. I mean,
Speaker 3: Jim Ross is still the greatest announcer of all time.
Speaker 3: He's lost a couple of steps at his age now
Speaker 3: in aw and he's got a ton of health issues,
Speaker 3: and you know, he certainly doesn't have a whole lot
Speaker 3: of years left on this planet. He doesn't. It's just
Speaker 3: a sad reality. But in his heyday, nobody could touch
Speaker 3: Jim Ross. Nobody, and so he followed Jim Ross and
Speaker 3: after them, and there was a lot of resentment for Cole,
Speaker 3: who had nothing to do with it, just doing his job,
Speaker 3: and it took a long time for fans to warm
Speaker 3: up to Cole. But I think last night it's one
Speaker 3: of those moments that shows now it didn't happen in
Speaker 3: that moment. I think fans have felt this way for
Speaker 3: a while, but they got the chance that there was
Speaker 3: an opportunity presented for them to show Cole that they
Speaker 3: actually support him, really appreciate all the day he's done
Speaker 3: for the company and continues to do for the company
Speaker 3: by cheering him in that scenario, trying to help McAfee
Speaker 3: by holding Gunther's leg. I mean, it was just it
Speaker 3: was it was really good. Now, Gunther beating McAfee was
Speaker 3: absolutely expected. It should have happened. There's no goldberg here,
Speaker 3: no Goldberg. I repeat. So I went over three on
Speaker 3: my predictions on that as far as potential returns or turns.
Speaker 3: But the person who won here was Gunther, and and
Speaker 3: I don't think there was that was ever really in doubt.
Speaker 3: So the finish was McAfee rather a Pat McAfee rolling
Speaker 3: up Gunther for a two count, which again that should
Speaker 3: never happen, but it did. And then Gunther tried to
Speaker 3: suplex on McAfee from the apron, but Cole tripped Gunther,
Speaker 3: causing McAfee to land on top of him for a
Speaker 3: two count. Gunther put McAfee in a sleeper. McIntyre fired
Speaker 3: up at one point, but he faded and the ref
Speaker 3: call for the bell and then that's when Cole came
Speaker 3: in to check on mcafe and Gunter looked down and
Speaker 3: McAfee got to his feet and Gunther gave him a
Speaker 3: bit of a hat tip style acknowledgment before leaving the ring,
Speaker 3: and Cale hugged McAfee and then left him to have
Speaker 3: a moment in the ring. So the live crowd love this.
Speaker 3: I mean it's because you know that the bar is
Speaker 3: set super low here because you're not expecting a Ricky
Speaker 3: Steamboat match up here, a Ricky Steamboat Rick Flair match.
Speaker 3: You know you're not gonna get you know, Brett hard
Speaker 3: Austin at WrestleMania thirteen. You just kind of know the
Speaker 3: style of the match here. It's, you know, somebody that's
Speaker 3: a badass, legit badass in the ring, no nonsense. Isn't
Speaker 3: super fancy against an announcer who has a limited move
Speaker 3: set to begin with? You know the kind of match
Speaker 3: you're going in, so the bar is set low already,
Speaker 3: but that's what made it fun. You don't have a
Speaker 3: lot of expectations, so anything above just basic wrestling maneuvers
Speaker 3: that you see, fans are gonna pop for it because
Speaker 3: it's like, well this, this is an announcer. That's awesome,
Speaker 3: he can do this. It's amazing how the lens of
Speaker 3: the match before you watch it, how you view it,
Speaker 3: what your expectations are, can really really dictate how you
Speaker 3: react to the match while you're watching it. So that
Speaker 3: the crowd loved it. And again, do I like the
Speaker 3: fact that Gunther came close to losing a few times?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 3: Did you know they were going to do that? Yeah,
Speaker 3: because otherwise it wouldn't be very entertaining and it would
Speaker 3: just be a total squash. But no Goldberg, and I'm
Speaker 3: okay with that, at least not yet. All Right, then
Speaker 3: we got the decibel meter graphic on the screen when
Speaker 3: Randy Orton's music played, and it max at around one
Speaker 3: point fifteen, which, again I have a real problem believing
Speaker 3: that that thing's real. Nonetheless, so the crowd's singing his
Speaker 3: song and he it was still it was still a
Speaker 3: good matchup again. I already talked about it at length here.
Speaker 3: To say I enjoyed it would be pretty accurate. It
Speaker 3: was an nostalgic feel to the match, and it went,
Speaker 3: by the way, twenty eight minutes. Twenty eight minutes. That's
Speaker 3: not including entrances. So this match was over thirty minutes
Speaker 3: including entrances, and it was It was fun. It was fun.
Speaker 3: The ref bumps continue to happen. As I said, they're
Speaker 3: an obligatory part of every main event for the Undisputed
Speaker 3: Championship since its inception. I mean, it's just it's getting
Speaker 3: insane now. But ultimately, the only thing we got, Guys,
Speaker 3: we didn't get Travis Scott. We didn't get a Faux
Speaker 3: Rock appearance. We didn't get Goldberg, we didn't get a
Speaker 3: soul so CoA turn. We didn't get what was the
Speaker 3: other turn, I can't remember, but we didn't get any
Speaker 3: of that. We didn't get any of that. We got
Speaker 3: a Jeff debut, That's what we got. We got a
Speaker 3: Jeff Cobb debut. But now we got Saturday Night main event,
Speaker 3: which I fully expect to be pretty much on par
Speaker 3: with this match or the show here. Wrestling heavy not
Speaker 3: a lot of returns, not a lot of star power,
Speaker 3: very much a you know, a house show on steroids,
Speaker 3: no pun intended. That's what Saturday Night main event is
Speaker 3: going to be and has been historically, and that's okay.
Speaker 3: You know what, here's the thing. Sometimes a wrestling show
Speaker 3: can just be a wrestling show, meaning it's just two guys,
Speaker 3: two girls, or multiple guys and multiple girls in the
Speaker 3: ring competing with each other trying to win the match.
Speaker 3: That's okay. That can be the case. There doesn't always
Speaker 3: need to be interference or shenanigans. We've educated ourselves fans,
Speaker 3: partly due to our own fault and partly due to
Speaker 3: the promotion's fault of always having especially big matches having
Speaker 3: to have some kind of wonky bloodline WrestleMania forty esque
Speaker 3: finish with three or four different people interfering, and that
Speaker 3: that just we shouldn't have that expectation. Triple H has
Speaker 3: gone back to a much more straightforward slow burn process,
Speaker 3: and we're trying, at least for me, I know, I'm
Speaker 3: trying to acclimate to that. Sometimes I'm stuck in the
Speaker 3: Vince McMahon era of booking in my mind of oh,
Speaker 3: I can see this coming I bet you're gonna do
Speaker 3: it here. Oh, I can see Solo turning. The're gonna
Speaker 3: bet you're gonna do that here, and they don't, and
Speaker 3: they don't and they wait right and you're, oh, the
Speaker 3: finn Balor. That's the other thing, Finn Balor turning on Dom.
Speaker 3: You're like, oh, I can see that coming, and while
Speaker 3: it is gonna happen, you just don't know when. So
Speaker 3: a lot of times w is struggling with not trying
Speaker 3: to fool the fans with what's gonna happen, but when. Now,
Speaker 3: if you can do the what's gonna happen, that's a
Speaker 3: better surprise than the when, because at least with the what,
Speaker 3: you never saw that coming, versus the when, you're like, well, yeah,
Speaker 3: I didn't know whether we're going to do it, but
Speaker 3: I knew that were going to at some point. So
Speaker 3: the second one is more common because it's, you know,
Speaker 3: one that it's harder to fool fans nowadays with all
Speaker 3: the leaks and people just out you know, going through
Speaker 3: every possible scenario and one of them is going to
Speaker 3: be it. So I think sometimes though, looking at wrestling shows,
Speaker 3: we can just have a wrestling show. We can just
Speaker 3: look at it and go, you know what, No o's interference,
Speaker 3: no shenanigans. What's gonna happen If these two are the
Speaker 3: only ones who have a say in the match, no
Speaker 3: ref bump, no foreign objects, just these two individuals or
Speaker 3: however many even individuals in that match, What's going to happen.
Speaker 3: So I'm not against distractions and debakery. I mean, like,
Speaker 3: let's be honest, I love chaos just as much as
Speaker 3: then person. But I think we often expect it too much,
Speaker 3: and I'm trying to recalibrate my expectations as to what
Speaker 3: driple H's and TKO's vision of professional wrestling is. It's
Speaker 3: not the wrestling of yesteryear.
Speaker 1: Is.
Speaker 3: It's evolving, and in some ways I love it. In
Speaker 3: other ways I hate it. In the ways I love it,
Speaker 3: I love slow burns. I'm all about story arcs. I
Speaker 3: love when they reward fans for remembering things. I love
Speaker 3: when they can talk about wrestling using the word wrestling.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 3: I love the fact that they've gone a little more edgy.
Speaker 3: I hate the ads in the ring, un raw or anywhere.
Speaker 3: I hate the fact that they have pulled back the
Speaker 3: curtain every chance they get reminding you that the magic
Speaker 3: you're watching isn't real. Every chance you get all the time,
Speaker 3: I despise that I always will. That's not going to change.
Speaker 3: So there are some things I really don't like and
Speaker 3: things I love. But the fact is that TKO and
Speaker 3: w A themselves and management and Triple H and Company
Speaker 3: and his team creative have their own vision and it's
Speaker 3: not a McMahon run company anymore. And we have to
Speaker 3: remember that that it's not Vince McMahon at the top
Speaker 3: of the pile. There's not a Shane McMahon. There's not
Speaker 3: a Stephanie McMahon, although she may have us say indirectly
Speaker 3: with her husband because they're married obviously. But we I think,
Speaker 3: as fans, we should really try to remember that. So
Speaker 3: and other news, Sabu dies. So he died at sixty
Speaker 3: years old. We don't at least as of this writing
Speaker 3: or this recording, I don't know the cause right now.
Speaker 3: There's little known cause about what happened. I mean, you
Speaker 3: can deduce things that are common, perhaps, you know, heart failure.
Speaker 3: We're all, I mean, a lot of us just jump
Speaker 3: to heart failure from steroid use, right, I mean, because
Speaker 3: that's it was kind of prevalent, but we don't know.
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know. Maybe after you hear this,
Speaker 3: everyone will know what the cause of Sabo's death is.
Speaker 3: Right now, I don't know. There are updates though, two
Speaker 3: injuries from two top stars being banged up after backlash,
Speaker 3: and this is coming from Wrestling Inc. So the show
Speaker 3: opened with a fatal four way as we talked about
Speaker 3: where I Fatu retained his championship, and there were some
Speaker 3: bumps and bruises as you'd imagine. I'm going I'm paraphrasing
Speaker 3: the article here, and this is according to Triple H
Speaker 3: quote Jacob, Damien, Drew, and Elleen Knight was incredible. What
Speaker 3: a performance. I hate that word again. It's like it's
Speaker 3: like I'm watching a magic show. I despise it. Luckily,
Speaker 3: everybody's healthy. I think Priest got a tooth that he's
Speaker 3: hoping will stay inside of his head for a couple
Speaker 3: of days here and gets solid again. But other than that,
Speaker 3: Drew is a little banged up but totally fine. So
Speaker 3: really happy that turned out the way it did. So okay,
Speaker 3: Damien gets a little a loose tooth that nearly got
Speaker 3: knocked out, but they're hoping will strengthen back I mean
Speaker 3: that that would freak me out. That freak me out.
Speaker 2: I know.
Speaker 3: I don't know about you, but sometimes I have dreams
Speaker 3: about my teeth falling out. Anyway, fa two let's see,
Speaker 3: and it's three challenges. Weren't the only men involved and
Speaker 3: blah blah. Okay, so it's basically the Fatal four way.
Speaker 3: That was really good and I had a feeling that
Speaker 3: one could steal the show, and you can make a
Speaker 3: case that it did. But back attires banged up. We
Speaker 3: don't know what banged up means. Probably just bruised and
Speaker 3: sore and the usual bumps that he's accustomed to, but
Speaker 3: nothing that's going to allow him to or would force
Speaker 3: him to take time off. So I don't know if
Speaker 3: there's any other news coming out of there. I think
Speaker 3: as far as injuries go, that might be the last
Speaker 3: of the injuries. And yeah, so that will do it
Speaker 3: for my Backlash review. I think that this was a
Speaker 3: show again that was a good wrestling show, not a
Speaker 3: lot of surprises or returns, and that has been the
Speaker 3: theme for Triple H's run thus far. I mean, look
Speaker 3: no further than the main event of WrestleMania I'm gonna
Speaker 3: keep bringing it up. You didn't have somebody that was
Speaker 3: an integral part of the storyline there because he wanted
Speaker 3: the attention on someone else. At least that's the public reason.
Speaker 3: So we'll continue to hammer that because it's just totally excusable.
Speaker 3: So all right, and that's actually a question for you guys,
Speaker 3: when or where do you think the Rock will actually
Speaker 3: come back. I mean, he's gonna come back at some point, SummerSlam,
Speaker 3: maybe next years, WrestleMania, who knows. I really for me,
Speaker 3: I think it might be money in the bank make
Speaker 3: an appearance, or his music. As I had mentioned last time,
Speaker 3: for John Cena, I predicted that the music would hit
Speaker 3: Travis Scott's there. They're trying to recreate WrestleMania. The crowd's
Speaker 3: just so pissed off, so angry, but Travis Scott eats
Speaker 3: an RKO, John Cena hits the belt shot one, two three.
Speaker 3: I would have literally recreated except add the literally just
Speaker 3: add the Rocks entrance music to the WrestleMania and I
Speaker 3: two finish for the backlash finish. That's exactly what I
Speaker 3: would have done to send the crowd into into nuclear mode.
Speaker 3: You could still do that at the Money in the
Speaker 3: Bank or yeah, money the Bank, you could do it.
Speaker 3: Saturday Night Main event, you could also do it, but
Speaker 3: I would save that for a Money in the Bank
Speaker 3: and or Summer Slam finish for John Cena. But we
Speaker 3: got a lot of time until that happens. Of course,
Speaker 3: the Saturday Night Main Event, though, was only two weeks. Yeah,
Speaker 3: we got two weeks, so that that's going to come
Speaker 3: pretty quickly. The big gap is going to be between
Speaker 3: the the Money in the Bank event and the Saturday
Speaker 3: Night made event. So I think we have a pretty
Speaker 3: decent gap as far as wpls. Let me look at
Speaker 3: the gap here we have. Okay, we had Eluminius Chamber,
Speaker 3: we've got backlash. So Saturday Night Main event is May
Speaker 3: twenty fourth. Then we have the Money in the Bank event.
Speaker 3: Oh it's June seventh. I thought it was July seventh.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, I take that back. I thought some
Speaker 3: reason it was July seventh. It is June seventh for
Speaker 3: Money in the Bank. Okay, so we've got two weeks
Speaker 3: and then two weeks. Every two weeks we've we're gonna
Speaker 3: get a pl type of show. Wow. All right, so
Speaker 3: they don't have time to really build it much of anything. However,
Speaker 3: there is then a Evolution event on w Evolution that's
Speaker 3: gonna be a lot of fun. I'm glad they brought
Speaker 3: that back on July fifth in Mohegan Sun. They've got
Speaker 3: the Saturday Night Made Event on July twelfth, and then
Speaker 3: Summer Slam August third. Okay, oh, Night of Champions, I'm sorry,
Speaker 3: Night of Champions. So between Money in the Bank and
Speaker 3: Night of Champions, there's three weeks, and then between Night
Speaker 3: of Champions and I'm not even gonna count Saturday Night
Speaker 3: Made Event, and then between let's see the Night of
Speaker 3: Champions and Summer Slam, it's three weeks. I think it
Speaker 3: is four weeks, five weeks. Let me look, they don't
Speaker 3: have the damn date. I don't see it. So anyway,
Speaker 3: it's every couple of weeks from now until the end
Speaker 3: of June that we have a pl So they're gonna
Speaker 3: come rapid fire. Now, they're gonna come hot and heavy.
Speaker 4: All right.
Speaker 3: That'll do it for me. Thank you so much everybody
