But Patreon does offer a 40 00:02:28.199 --> 00:02:31.479 exclusive discord server that you can use to chat with 41 00:02:31.759 --> 00:02:35.360 other patrons of the show and more importantly, just WWE 42 00:02:35.680 --> 00:02:39.719 fans during the bash in Berlin event and it's always 43 00:02:39.719 --> 00:02:43.400 a good time. So all right, let's get into it, guys, 44 00:02:43.840 --> 00:02:46.960 let's get into the mail bag and start with a 45 00:02:47.039 --> 00:02:52.240 new patron. And this person's name is your Mom's House. 46 00:02:54.560 --> 00:02:58.280 So I love it. Okay, So he says, Hey, Matt, 47 00:02:58.479 --> 00:03:03.319 just making a conversation about your about fighting Ria fighting JD. 48 00:03:03.919 --> 00:03:07.039 I honestly think that both superstars match and strength, but 49 00:03:07.120 --> 00:03:10.319 in my opinion, Ria has a big advantage on her reach. 50 00:03:10.960 --> 00:03:12.240 Love to hear what you have to say in the pod. 51 00:03:12.360 --> 00:03:15.199 Keep up the good work, Thanks so much, your Mom's House. 52 00:03:17.240 --> 00:03:20.360 So what I'll say to that is, you know, maybe 53 00:03:20.479 --> 00:03:24.159 in strength and actual like lifting weights in the gym, 54 00:03:24.879 --> 00:03:29.280 Ria is absolutely stronger than most women and stronger than 55 00:03:29.319 --> 00:03:32.800 probably a small fraction of men. Is she stronger than 56 00:03:32.919 --> 00:03:35.199 JD in the gym? Can she bench press more than 57 00:03:35.319 --> 00:03:38.800 JD in the gym? I still doubt it, but she's 58 00:03:38.919 --> 00:03:42.800 probably on the very top tier of women in the world. 59 00:03:42.919 --> 00:03:47.520 And strength, but even let's just say for argument strength, 60 00:03:47.599 --> 00:03:52.000 they're dead even in strength, right, say? JD and Rhea 61 00:03:52.120 --> 00:03:55.240 are dead even in strength. Here's the other problem, though, 62 00:03:56.479 --> 00:04:01.759 being a man offers more physical advantages than just strength. Okay, 63 00:04:01.840 --> 00:04:04.759 so take that away from JD. Pretend they're even. It's 64 00:04:04.800 --> 00:04:11.759 a wash. Higher lung capacity, which means a better cardiovascular system, 65 00:04:12.000 --> 00:04:15.919 you're able to last longer. That's why you have men's 66 00:04:15.960 --> 00:04:18.959 and women's sports, because men have an inherent physical advantage 67 00:04:21.040 --> 00:04:24.959 muscle density. That's also a big thing. Tendons tend to 68 00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:31.160 be also just naturally stronger, so it's more than just strength. 69 00:04:31.680 --> 00:04:35.000 Speed is also another one. She may beat him on reach, 70 00:04:35.600 --> 00:04:37.279 but if we're talking about this being an actual fight 71 00:04:37.319 --> 00:04:40.920 that I'm supposed to believe, JD would still win. JD 72 00:04:41.000 --> 00:04:43.360 would still I know many people don't believe that because 73 00:04:43.399 --> 00:04:48.279 Riya is a stronger woman for women anyway. Again, and 74 00:04:48.439 --> 00:04:53.360 she may compare to size with JD. But JD. I 75 00:04:53.399 --> 00:04:55.399 would put my money on JD if they were locked 76 00:04:55.439 --> 00:04:59.759 in an octagon, he would still kick her ass because 77 00:05:00.399 --> 00:05:03.160 he's a man. And yes, not every man can beat 78 00:05:03.199 --> 00:05:04.759 every one of the women of the world. I'm not 79 00:05:04.839 --> 00:05:07.439 saying that. It's just a physical reality that I know 80 00:05:07.560 --> 00:05:09.319 some people don't want to live in, but it is 81 00:05:09.439 --> 00:05:13.319 one more importantly than all of that. Then, laying out 82 00:05:13.360 --> 00:05:16.639 every reason why a man is physically superior to a 83 00:05:16.720 --> 00:05:20.399 woman when it comes to strength and speed and endurance, 84 00:05:20.480 --> 00:05:23.000 which is just true. Okay, it's not being being sexist, 85 00:05:23.040 --> 00:05:26.600 it's just biology. Trust me. Women have a lot more 86 00:05:26.959 --> 00:05:30.160 attributes in men than men do in some areas, so 87 00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:32.839 it balances out. Which is great about the sexist you know, 88 00:05:33.040 --> 00:05:37.560 that's what's great. We're a ying tiyang. But more importantly 89 00:05:37.600 --> 00:05:39.480 than that, more really, just the most important point of 90 00:05:39.560 --> 00:05:42.000 all of this is I don't want the precedent being 91 00:05:42.160 --> 00:05:45.720 set that just because a man looks like Rhea could 92 00:05:45.959 --> 00:05:49.040 kick his ass, that all of a sudden, Riha just starts. 93 00:05:50.399 --> 00:05:53.879 She's just suddenly facing men on a weekly basis. She 94 00:05:54.000 --> 00:05:57.240 suddenly just worked her way into the men's division. Suddenly 95 00:05:57.360 --> 00:06:01.319 she's challenging for the United States eight Championship. Suddenly she's 96 00:06:01.399 --> 00:06:04.199 challenging for the Intercontinental Championship. And this has actually happened 97 00:06:04.240 --> 00:06:08.600 in the past, in the Attitude of All places, if 98 00:06:08.839 --> 00:06:12.560 some of you are old enough to remember the Attitude era, 99 00:06:13.800 --> 00:06:17.480 when China faced Jeff Jareded and beat Jeff Jarreted for 100 00:06:17.480 --> 00:06:23.600 the Intercontinental title. It happened, So there is a precedent there. 101 00:06:24.759 --> 00:06:27.639 China was a freaking nature Joni Lawer, obviously, you know 102 00:06:28.000 --> 00:06:32.839 she had a tragic end. But that is a that 103 00:06:33.000 --> 00:06:34.680 is not something I still would have done because it 104 00:06:34.759 --> 00:06:37.920 sets the precedent at a level that you don't want 105 00:06:37.959 --> 00:06:40.360 to go to. Because all of a sudden, again you're 106 00:06:40.360 --> 00:06:42.639 having men compete with women. It becomes normalized. We're all 107 00:06:42.680 --> 00:06:44.319 supposed to just buy into it, and I don't buy 108 00:06:44.360 --> 00:06:46.920 into it. That's the biggest problem I have with this. 109 00:06:47.720 --> 00:06:52.920 It's precedent. Women compete with women, men compete with men. 110 00:06:53.079 --> 00:06:54.879 There's no need to try to blow up the system. 111 00:06:55.360 --> 00:06:57.279 Even if the woman looks like she could kick that 112 00:06:57.399 --> 00:07:03.319 man's ass, I don't care. That's not where I want 113 00:07:03.360 --> 00:07:06.399 to go because if we're gonna play that game, what 114 00:07:06.480 --> 00:07:09.079 about a man suddenly competing for the women's title. I mean, 115 00:07:09.120 --> 00:07:10.879 we could get into all kinds of trouble here, right. 116 00:07:11.639 --> 00:07:12.920 Why is it only one Why is it a one 117 00:07:12.959 --> 00:07:13.360 way street? 118 00:07:13.360 --> 00:07:13.720 Suddenly? 119 00:07:14.560 --> 00:07:16.319 But you know that Ria Ripley is not going to 120 00:07:16.560 --> 00:07:19.480 take more than she's gonna take three bumps or less, 121 00:07:19.879 --> 00:07:23.600 no punches, maybe a soft suplex, Maybe somebody will move 122 00:07:23.639 --> 00:07:25.560 out of the way and she'll hit herself in the turnbuckle. 123 00:07:26.199 --> 00:07:29.319 There will be very minimal man on woman violence. Despite 124 00:07:29.439 --> 00:07:32.839 what Ria Ripley does. She's lived through that through her 125 00:07:32.839 --> 00:07:36.680 whole career. She's been able to dawn that privilege of 126 00:07:36.879 --> 00:07:41.600 being a woman in twenty twenty four on television in 127 00:07:41.680 --> 00:07:45.360 which w W is going to protect her because they 128 00:07:45.439 --> 00:07:48.399 have to, and women can just do what they want 129 00:07:48.879 --> 00:07:51.319 with no consequence, even though it's pro wrestling, it's not 130 00:07:51.519 --> 00:07:56.360 actually it's not the UFC. Here, all right, let's continue 131 00:07:57.040 --> 00:08:02.000 and we're gonna go to Joel and and another patron says, Hey, Matt, 132 00:08:02.000 --> 00:08:03.439 I hope you're having a great week. Just wanted to 133 00:08:03.480 --> 00:08:06.079 say I was surprised how much I enjoyed the triple 134 00:08:06.160 --> 00:08:10.160 threat mat match with Pete Dunn. Them Is an Xavier Woods. 135 00:08:10.240 --> 00:08:12.600 I thought them Is looked great. I only wish that 136 00:08:12.639 --> 00:08:14.480 they would have pushed the story with Woods and Kinks 137 00:08:14.519 --> 00:08:16.879 it a bit more and had Woods move on. It 138 00:08:16.959 --> 00:08:18.639 felt like they teased a bit earlier in the show. 139 00:08:18.759 --> 00:08:22.079 If Woods had won, it would have caused more attention 140 00:08:22.160 --> 00:08:24.399 between the two, thus getting us closer to the glorious 141 00:08:24.399 --> 00:08:29.160 split of the Pooh Day. Well, if you remember during 142 00:08:29.240 --> 00:08:33.320 the quick promo that Xavier cut he talked about he said, 143 00:08:33.399 --> 00:08:37.000 nearly ten years going strong, and the ten year anniversary 144 00:08:37.039 --> 00:08:40.279 is coming up somewhat soon the official ten year anniversary 145 00:08:40.320 --> 00:08:43.039 of the New Day, and I think that's a perfect 146 00:08:43.039 --> 00:08:45.240 time to split them. Well, I agree. I thought kofein 147 00:08:45.399 --> 00:08:47.600 Xavier would both make it to the Fatal four way 148 00:08:48.399 --> 00:08:50.200 and then there'd be some tension there, but they didn't 149 00:08:50.200 --> 00:08:56.399 even take that road. But there's time. Thanks Schel. Let's 150 00:08:56.720 --> 00:09:00.679 talk to uh. Let's talk to DJ Cuzmo. He says, 151 00:09:00.799 --> 00:09:04.879 quick question, is La Knight issuing an open challenge for 152 00:09:04.919 --> 00:09:07.639 the US Championship this Friday night? Since he's not going 153 00:09:07.720 --> 00:09:09.919 to be at Bash in Berlin this Saturday. And if 154 00:09:09.960 --> 00:09:13.679 he's issuing an open challenge, who could it be? I'm 155 00:09:13.720 --> 00:09:17.840 thinking probably aj Styles might return, or maybe debuting a 156 00:09:17.919 --> 00:09:21.799 return of Giovanni Vinci or maybe someone from Raw who knows. Anyway, 157 00:09:21.879 --> 00:09:26.519 let's quickly get to the Bash and Berlin official predictions 158 00:09:26.559 --> 00:09:29.759 with no spoilers. So, for you, Jade and Bianca versus 159 00:09:29.799 --> 00:09:33.200 the Unholy Union and the women's tag team titles, you 160 00:09:33.279 --> 00:09:35.720 think that Jade and Beiyanc could get the victory, So 161 00:09:35.799 --> 00:09:38.200 the creative has something to do with them or for them, 162 00:09:38.679 --> 00:09:40.399 since they are the main stars of this so called 163 00:09:40.440 --> 00:09:43.480 women's tag team division and they haven't been doing anything 164 00:09:43.559 --> 00:09:46.039 since losing the titles to the Unholy Union at Clash 165 00:09:46.080 --> 00:09:48.240 at the Castle. If there's any way for Creative to 166 00:09:48.240 --> 00:09:51.279 build up a feud between the Jade and heeled Jade 167 00:09:51.360 --> 00:09:53.440 versus a face Bianca, I think he should start with 168 00:09:53.480 --> 00:09:56.440 them regaining the titles. As the storyline progresses, they have 169 00:09:56.519 --> 00:10:01.000 miscommunications and miscues and their matches and backstage segments. Finally, 170 00:10:01.080 --> 00:10:03.159 don't forget Naomi. Where does she fit in with this 171 00:10:03.240 --> 00:10:06.039 potential story? Does she and Jade turn on Bianca? 172 00:10:06.600 --> 00:10:06.720 Now? 173 00:10:06.960 --> 00:10:09.360 All good questions, DJ. You know there is no tag 174 00:10:09.399 --> 00:10:12.279 team division for the women, or at least there is 175 00:10:12.639 --> 00:10:17.559 when they need the one to exist? And is there 176 00:10:18.279 --> 00:10:21.840 a heel Jade and faced Bianca? I mean, I think 177 00:10:21.919 --> 00:10:25.039 that's the way they'll go, But I also don't mind 178 00:10:25.080 --> 00:10:28.080 it in reverse where a heel Bianca versus a babyface Jade. 179 00:10:28.600 --> 00:10:30.440 Problem is, I don't think they're ready for that, because 180 00:10:30.519 --> 00:10:35.440 Jade's not ready. Jade's just not ready. She will be 181 00:10:36.639 --> 00:10:41.759 presumably at some point. She's not quite there. She's certainly 182 00:10:41.759 --> 00:10:43.639 got the look, as I've mentioned many times, as we 183 00:10:43.679 --> 00:10:47.080 all can see, but boy, I mean, she does at 184 00:10:47.200 --> 00:10:49.120 times leave a lot to be desired in the ring, 185 00:10:49.559 --> 00:10:53.159 but she does show flashes of being really good, and 186 00:10:53.240 --> 00:10:55.879 then there's some stumbles and I don't know if it's 187 00:10:55.960 --> 00:10:59.879 nerves or just just needs more time, needs more men. 188 00:11:00.039 --> 00:11:01.600 That's in the ring in front of a live crowd 189 00:11:01.679 --> 00:11:04.000 and not in the performance center or wherever she's training. 190 00:11:04.600 --> 00:11:08.679 There's nothing like the live minutes in front of live fans. 191 00:11:09.919 --> 00:11:11.240 They'll be the first one to tell you that you 192 00:11:11.320 --> 00:11:14.639 can't simulate that mixed tag team match, the Terror Twins 193 00:11:14.720 --> 00:11:17.799 versus Living Dirty Dom. You're thinking, the Terror Twins get 194 00:11:17.840 --> 00:11:20.279 to win just for the continuation of this story. The 195 00:11:20.399 --> 00:11:24.039 Terror Twins need this win and some needed help against 196 00:11:24.039 --> 00:11:26.960 the new Judgment Day Cody Roads and Kevin Owens with 197 00:11:27.000 --> 00:11:31.840 the undisputed championship. Cody retains and that's pretty much it. Yeah, 198 00:11:31.919 --> 00:11:35.039 that's a that's kind of a slam dunk. There's just 199 00:11:35.080 --> 00:11:38.879 no way right seam punkins Jr. McIntyre in a strap match, 200 00:11:40.080 --> 00:11:42.759 all right, So you're predicting that punk it's the victory here, 201 00:11:43.919 --> 00:11:47.480 as this is the rubber match between the two opponents 202 00:11:47.519 --> 00:11:51.679 heading into the highly anticipated Bad Blood finale in October. 203 00:11:53.039 --> 00:11:55.759 And fifth, and finally, Gunther and Randy Yorton for the 204 00:11:55.799 --> 00:11:58.320 World Heavyweight Championship. This has to be the main event 205 00:11:58.320 --> 00:12:02.039 in Berlin. Jeremy Hermany and I predict that Gunther retains 206 00:12:02.080 --> 00:12:04.759 and maybe, just maybe there'll be a third match heading 207 00:12:04.759 --> 00:12:08.720 into bad Blood, since this matchup has gotten somewhat personal. Anyway, 208 00:12:08.879 --> 00:12:10.919 DJ be who's most signing off Enjoy Bash and Berlin. 209 00:12:11.039 --> 00:12:12.799 Have a great weekend. See all the Discord chat for 210 00:12:12.840 --> 00:12:16.919 Friday Night SmackDown and NXT no Mercy this Sunday. All right, 211 00:12:16.960 --> 00:12:19.679 we'll get to that Joe Hendry report as always in 212 00:12:19.919 --> 00:12:22.720 just a few moments. So good stuff. 213 00:12:22.799 --> 00:12:23.000 DJ. 214 00:12:23.840 --> 00:12:26.440 I can't respond yet. I'll get to my predictions towards 215 00:12:26.480 --> 00:12:28.879 the end of the show. Oh, let's good to Freeman 216 00:12:29.600 --> 00:12:33.200 another patron. He says, I've had enough. It's time to 217 00:12:33.279 --> 00:12:37.559 say it. I'm completely over Jade and Bianca as a team. 218 00:12:38.159 --> 00:12:40.600 They need to disband and move on now. Even if 219 00:12:40.639 --> 00:12:43.559 I try to overlook Cargill's limited in ring ability, her 220 00:12:43.639 --> 00:12:46.759 lack of charisma, her weak move set, and how she 221 00:12:46.919 --> 00:12:48.840 drains all the fun out of bel air, it's too 222 00:12:48.960 --> 00:12:52.360 much to ignore, and believe me, that's a lot to overlook. 223 00:12:52.440 --> 00:12:55.039 But what I absolutely can't stand is the repetitive, stale 224 00:12:55.120 --> 00:12:58.440 formula of every match. Bianca starts off, she gets beaten down, 225 00:12:58.759 --> 00:13:01.120 she sells like crazy HOTX the cargill for the win. 226 00:13:01.879 --> 00:13:04.799 It's tired and none. It's uninspired. Jade is supposed to 227 00:13:05.080 --> 00:13:08.480 bring personality to the team, but instead this charisma vampire 228 00:13:08.639 --> 00:13:11.519 just repeats the same dance moves that even my seventy 229 00:13:11.679 --> 00:13:15.120 year old mother does it weddings well, I mean, I 230 00:13:15.200 --> 00:13:18.039 can't disagree that they are very formulaic. Even their promos 231 00:13:18.080 --> 00:13:24.279 together are insufferable. Now they are two very powerful women physically. 232 00:13:25.120 --> 00:13:27.519 Bianca has felt like she's taking a back seat for 233 00:13:27.799 --> 00:13:30.240 really kind of far too long at this point, and 234 00:13:30.559 --> 00:13:33.440 she's being the good foot soldier and helping out Jade. 235 00:13:33.480 --> 00:13:36.759 That's why she's with Bianca also to give her the rub, 236 00:13:36.919 --> 00:13:41.000 but in real life I'm sure learn from her. So 237 00:13:41.399 --> 00:13:43.440 there is a benefit in keeping them as a team. 238 00:13:44.120 --> 00:13:46.039 The problem is they're not going to split them up 239 00:13:46.080 --> 00:13:48.600 until they feel Jade is ready. I mean, I guess 240 00:13:48.639 --> 00:13:51.039 they could do a soft split. Not every team has 241 00:13:51.120 --> 00:13:54.600 to every time they split end in a rivalry or 242 00:13:54.639 --> 00:13:58.440 in a match. That does happen occasionally, but typically when 243 00:13:59.120 --> 00:14:02.600 teams or factions split up it's meant to create new 244 00:14:02.679 --> 00:14:07.440 stars from said team or a faction, and it results 245 00:14:07.480 --> 00:14:11.919 in inter war. But in this case, they could just 246 00:14:11.960 --> 00:14:13.559 split them softly, quietly. 247 00:14:14.879 --> 00:14:15.360 There's no. 248 00:14:17.480 --> 00:14:22.000 There's no actual bad blood pun intended, I guess between 249 00:14:22.080 --> 00:14:25.720 them and they go their separate ways. But I'm sure 250 00:14:25.759 --> 00:14:27.799 that when they put this team together, they're thinking, all right, 251 00:14:28.080 --> 00:14:30.399 we're gonna keep Jade and Bianca together for a while, 252 00:14:31.559 --> 00:14:36.559 and when we feel Jade's ready, they're gonna split and 253 00:14:36.759 --> 00:14:40.159 Jade and Bianca are going to have a rivalry and 254 00:14:40.240 --> 00:14:44.600 a match for a few months, you know. Whenever that happens. 255 00:14:44.840 --> 00:14:47.879 I mean, you'd imagine it's at WrestleMania match. But from 256 00:14:47.960 --> 00:14:50.600 the looks of Jade Cargill, you know, in the ring, 257 00:14:50.759 --> 00:14:52.759 I don't think she can really handle a match more 258 00:14:52.840 --> 00:14:56.759 than six or seven minutes one on one anyway, not physically, 259 00:14:56.879 --> 00:15:01.919 she's certainly physically capable, but understanding the psychology and understanding 260 00:15:01.919 --> 00:15:04.879 there's more to her, more to wait and pro wrestling 261 00:15:04.919 --> 00:15:07.960 than just look at my body, which she's gotten away 262 00:15:08.039 --> 00:15:10.600 with thus far, because it is very impressive, but that 263 00:15:10.759 --> 00:15:11.440 will wear off. 264 00:15:12.440 --> 00:15:14.519 So yeah, I know. 265 00:15:14.679 --> 00:15:18.960 Again, their promos are just they're bad. They're horrible, it's cringey, 266 00:15:19.600 --> 00:15:26.720 it's secondhand embarrassment. Bad Bianca with her you know, her attitude, 267 00:15:26.879 --> 00:15:31.320 and and Jade with her little quips, and it's it's childish. 268 00:15:31.360 --> 00:15:33.960 And then you know, you have Bianca continuing to just 269 00:15:34.399 --> 00:15:37.720 strut to the ring, swirling her hair at thirty five 270 00:15:37.879 --> 00:15:40.600 or thirty six, thirty seven, however old she is. It's 271 00:15:40.679 --> 00:15:43.000 also embarrassing. That's I mean, she's done that even when 272 00:15:43.000 --> 00:15:44.600 she's not in the team, but it's getting worse. I 273 00:15:44.639 --> 00:15:45.120 don't know how. 274 00:15:46.039 --> 00:15:46.200 I know. 275 00:15:46.279 --> 00:15:49.919 It's her thing, it's just what she does. But if 276 00:15:50.000 --> 00:15:53.200 we just take two seconds to think about how ridiculous 277 00:15:53.279 --> 00:15:57.519 that is and how it really just takes her character down, 278 00:15:59.120 --> 00:16:01.879 it pulls it down to a childish level by doing that. 279 00:16:03.799 --> 00:16:08.000 But she's on her own against the world, I guess, 280 00:16:08.159 --> 00:16:13.519 is what her Her song says, all right, so I 281 00:16:13.559 --> 00:16:15.519 can already see the coming Jade and Beyonca will win 282 00:16:15.600 --> 00:16:17.919 the titles. And it's such a terrible move. I'm starting 283 00:16:17.960 --> 00:16:20.000 to believe Jade is beyond fixing and needs to be 284 00:16:20.120 --> 00:16:23.480 removed from the roster entirely. In their last few matches, 285 00:16:23.600 --> 00:16:26.039 Jade has either been protected in defeat or handed to 286 00:16:26.080 --> 00:16:29.960 win they can't keep this up. And now with Naomi 287 00:16:30.039 --> 00:16:32.200 being added to the mix, how long before Jade sucks 288 00:16:32.240 --> 00:16:34.279 the fun out of her too? When was the last 289 00:16:34.320 --> 00:16:37.200 time WW pushed someone so bad they needed two people 290 00:16:37.279 --> 00:16:41.440 to protect them yet still got a mega push. I'm done, 291 00:16:42.159 --> 00:16:44.279 all right, Freeman. Well, I think you have made your 292 00:16:44.320 --> 00:16:46.600 point very clear that Jade is a would you call 293 00:16:46.679 --> 00:16:49.879 her a charisma a vampire? 294 00:16:50.559 --> 00:16:50.679 Uh? 295 00:16:51.039 --> 00:16:53.320 What was the charisma vampire? 296 00:16:53.399 --> 00:16:53.720 All right? 297 00:16:53.919 --> 00:16:59.039 Well, so I can't fully agree with her being a 298 00:16:59.120 --> 00:17:03.639 charisma vampire again. I just slammed both of the women 299 00:17:03.679 --> 00:17:07.480 here because together they're insufferable. They remind me a lot 300 00:17:07.519 --> 00:17:10.720 too of like the Mizz and Morrison. They're just sometimes 301 00:17:10.799 --> 00:17:14.160 you jokey into over the top, not to that level, 302 00:17:14.200 --> 00:17:16.240 but that's kind of the chemistry I feel is miss 303 00:17:16.279 --> 00:17:19.119 and Morrison when I I mean, that was one of 304 00:17:19.119 --> 00:17:23.440 the worst tag teams I've ever seen. But I understand 305 00:17:23.480 --> 00:17:28.680 your point. But Jade has a presence, Otherwise they wouldn't 306 00:17:28.680 --> 00:17:30.519 have hired her. I mean they see something apparently that 307 00:17:30.599 --> 00:17:33.599 you don't. Maybe that a lot of us don't. I 308 00:17:33.759 --> 00:17:36.599 think they see her as a future main event star 309 00:17:36.720 --> 00:17:40.160 in the women's division. She's not nearly ready for a 310 00:17:40.240 --> 00:17:44.880 women's title. She clearly is not ready for any kind 311 00:17:44.880 --> 00:17:50.519 of long form match one on one. But as far 312 00:17:50.559 --> 00:17:53.359 as removing her from the roster, I mean, this is 313 00:17:53.400 --> 00:17:57.160 where I would implore you for patients, all right. I'm 314 00:17:57.200 --> 00:17:59.599 not saying that she's going to be the biggest star 315 00:17:59.759 --> 00:18:01.880 and just wait and see she's gonna main event wrestle 316 00:18:01.920 --> 00:18:03.559 Manie this year. No no, no, no no no no, no, 317 00:18:03.880 --> 00:18:04.400 far from it. 318 00:18:04.839 --> 00:18:05.240 She could. 319 00:18:06.240 --> 00:18:08.519 But I'm taking the middle of the road approach. I'm 320 00:18:08.599 --> 00:18:11.839 on the path of it's taking here longer than we 321 00:18:11.880 --> 00:18:15.400 would like. We are impatient as fans. We want everything now. 322 00:18:16.160 --> 00:18:20.880 If we see even the slightest sign of weakness or 323 00:18:22.480 --> 00:18:25.759 or weaknesses in a personality or promo or in ring, 324 00:18:26.480 --> 00:18:30.599 that person immediately sucks. And I sometimes have that reaction too, 325 00:18:30.640 --> 00:18:33.720 and I need to pull myself back. I think again, 326 00:18:33.799 --> 00:18:37.359 you're you have the right to feel this way. I'm 327 00:18:37.359 --> 00:18:40.359 not telling you how to feel, but I would implore 328 00:18:40.400 --> 00:18:43.079 you for a little more patience, all right. I would 329 00:18:43.079 --> 00:18:45.240 agree the team with Jade. As I said, Jade and 330 00:18:45.279 --> 00:18:48.960 Bianca are just terrible together in terms of just the 331 00:18:49.319 --> 00:18:51.359 feeling I get when I see them, not that they 332 00:18:51.440 --> 00:18:54.920 don't have on screen chemistry together, or that they aren't 333 00:18:55.079 --> 00:18:59.000 both well. Particularly Bianca an incredible athlete, and Jade does 334 00:18:59.039 --> 00:19:04.240 have a presence. But I just think patience might be 335 00:19:04.359 --> 00:19:07.599 your best course here. And what is the deadline? I mean, 336 00:19:07.720 --> 00:19:09.519 I don't have one in mind. I would say, you know, 337 00:19:09.960 --> 00:19:15.359 if by this year's WrestleMania she doesn't have a singles match, yeah, 338 00:19:15.559 --> 00:19:17.599 then you know it might be time to be concerned. 339 00:19:18.039 --> 00:19:22.920 But to release somebody that looks like Cargill is really 340 00:19:23.000 --> 00:19:28.160 difficult to do because of her look. So yeah, I mean, 341 00:19:28.200 --> 00:19:30.319 you can only get so far with that, and we'll 342 00:19:30.359 --> 00:19:33.039 have to see. They know clearly how much she's progressing, 343 00:19:33.440 --> 00:19:35.480 more than we do because we only see her inering 344 00:19:35.519 --> 00:19:39.039 a few minutes. Perhaps behind the scenes, maybe she's kicking ass. 345 00:19:39.599 --> 00:19:41.359 Maybe she is, they just haven't brought it out yet. 346 00:19:41.720 --> 00:19:47.240 It's possible, all right, Well, Freeman, take a breath. I 347 00:19:47.319 --> 00:19:49.319 do feel your pain. I understand it, though, I do 348 00:19:49.440 --> 00:19:53.160 get it all right, Hungary pop, Let's go, he says, Hi, Matt, 349 00:19:53.279 --> 00:19:56.599 love your show and I appreciate perspective. Let's talk WWE logic. 350 00:19:57.680 --> 00:20:00.480 I'm fascinated about your view on things that quote take 351 00:20:00.559 --> 00:20:02.519 you out of the moment. For example, you brought up 352 00:20:02.559 --> 00:20:05.359 Ko talking about segments and breaking the fourth wall. There 353 00:20:05.400 --> 00:20:08.839 are so many worse things out there, like when someone 354 00:20:08.920 --> 00:20:11.839 runs into the turnbuckle and gets hurt when the victim 355 00:20:11.920 --> 00:20:14.039 gets out of the way, or when someone does an 356 00:20:14.039 --> 00:20:19.119 Irish whip then bends over waiting like an idiot, or 357 00:20:19.279 --> 00:20:21.319 people diving into the rope to catch a sixty one 358 00:20:21.440 --> 00:20:24.920 nine for raymisterio, do I really accept these but get 359 00:20:24.920 --> 00:20:26.680 annoyed when Cody uses the word heel? 360 00:20:27.759 --> 00:20:27.960 Yeah? 361 00:20:28.039 --> 00:20:33.240 So well here's the hungry pop. Okay, I can't deny that. 362 00:20:33.279 --> 00:20:36.960 I mean, everything you've said here are things that I've noticed, 363 00:20:36.960 --> 00:20:39.640 and I'm guessing that many of you who watch wrestling 364 00:20:39.759 --> 00:20:43.319 for any length of time can see the six one nine. 365 00:20:43.680 --> 00:20:46.640 Clearly they're diving to catch I mean really, any dive 366 00:20:46.759 --> 00:20:52.359 that's done, suicide dive, moon salt six nine. The idea 367 00:20:52.440 --> 00:20:54.519 is to protect your opponent, and if you just look 368 00:20:54.519 --> 00:20:58.799 close enough, any kind of excuse me, diving maneuver, you'll 369 00:20:58.839 --> 00:21:06.440 see the opponent catch their opponent, right, because the idea 370 00:21:06.480 --> 00:21:10.599 is safety. So that's with anything that's just part of 371 00:21:10.680 --> 00:21:13.720 pro wrestling. The Irish whip, Yeah, I mean you can 372 00:21:13.759 --> 00:21:15.759 see that it's like they're setting it up to help 373 00:21:15.799 --> 00:21:18.599 their opponent knock them over the ropes. That's something that 374 00:21:18.680 --> 00:21:20.599 can be kind of worked through. It doesn't take me 375 00:21:20.640 --> 00:21:23.000 out of the moment too much, but maybe it does 376 00:21:23.079 --> 00:21:24.880 for you. And the turnbuckle deal is, we've seen it 377 00:21:24.960 --> 00:21:29.000 so many times. Yeah, I don't even notice that when 378 00:21:29.000 --> 00:21:31.240 anymore because it's done so much with the running into 379 00:21:31.319 --> 00:21:35.640 the turnbuckle and get hurt and you know, but here's 380 00:21:35.640 --> 00:21:38.519 the difference. That's the actual wrestling part, the physical part 381 00:21:38.640 --> 00:21:43.480 that can be tightened up. That does sometimes take a 382 00:21:43.519 --> 00:21:47.880 little bit of practice and conscientiousness to understand that that 383 00:21:47.960 --> 00:21:52.759 does take people out of the moment, But that's easily fixable. 384 00:21:53.440 --> 00:21:56.599 The issue is when you verbalize something, you have a 385 00:21:56.640 --> 00:22:00.720 lot of control over what you say. What you say 386 00:22:01.160 --> 00:22:05.400 I think is more of a take me out of 387 00:22:05.440 --> 00:22:08.559 the moment. Because wrestling is wrestling, you know what pro 388 00:22:08.640 --> 00:22:10.920 wrestling is. You know that it's not actually two people 389 00:22:10.960 --> 00:22:12.720 trying to hurt each other, when in fact, it's actually 390 00:22:12.759 --> 00:22:14.880 a performance and you're trying to make sure that your 391 00:22:14.920 --> 00:22:20.000 opponent doesn't kill or kill themselves or get paralyzed, and 392 00:22:20.119 --> 00:22:23.240 they're trying to make sure the same for you. So 393 00:22:24.960 --> 00:22:26.839 there's that, and you're always going to see things in 394 00:22:27.039 --> 00:22:30.720 the match that don't look real quote unquote right. There 395 00:22:30.759 --> 00:22:34.359 are sometimes punches that are thrown that look horrible, right. 396 00:22:34.880 --> 00:22:37.160 That happens, That happens in every match. That's just part 397 00:22:37.240 --> 00:22:40.880 of the actual physical part of pro wrestling. But you 398 00:22:41.039 --> 00:22:48.160 don't need to blatantly, you know, just completely say that, 399 00:22:48.359 --> 00:22:51.440 Oh oh, the segments ending, guys, let's continue on with 400 00:22:51.519 --> 00:22:55.680 the show. That's a different fourth wall take me out 401 00:22:55.680 --> 00:22:58.279
