1
00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:03,879
Speaker 1: Man. We had Roman Reigns on the show tonight called

2
00:00:03,919 --> 00:00:07,599
Seth Rollins a lot of things in that closing segment,

3
00:00:08,359 --> 00:00:14,039
but he also said that Triple H was Seth's work daddy.

4
00:00:15,119 --> 00:00:18,079
I've never heard it put that way, but apparently Triple

5
00:00:18,199 --> 00:00:22,000
H is Set's work daddy. And Roman pointed out that

6
00:00:22,039 --> 00:00:24,760
the only way Rollins can win a World championship is

7
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:27,879
by cashing in a money in the bank briefcase. And

8
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:30,879
he's not wrong when he says these things. Boy, Roman Reigns,

9
00:00:31,519 --> 00:00:34,679
he brought the heat in the closing segment here on

10
00:00:34,679 --> 00:00:37,359
this show, and Seth Rollins for his part, because they

11
00:00:37,399 --> 00:00:40,240
had a contract signing hell of a lot better than

12
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:44,079
last week's promo. Roman also needled him about that boring

13
00:00:44,439 --> 00:00:46,520
promo last week that I talked about in the raw

14
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:49,920
review because that promo sucked. Tonight was a lot better

15
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:51,920
because we had both of them in the same building

16
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:55,280
at the same time. Isn't it amazing how much better

17
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:57,520
things tend to be when you get both participants in

18
00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:00,600
the ring together at the same time to jows verbally

19
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:05,359
instead of them just cutting promos on the camera. We

20
00:01:05,439 --> 00:01:09,120
had the contract signing tonight with Roman Reigns and Seth

21
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:12,280
rollins for their World Heavyweight Championship match at Summerslim. It

22
00:01:12,359 --> 00:01:16,120
is now official, and I still do as I sit

23
00:01:16,159 --> 00:01:19,040
here right now, I still do feel as if when

24
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:21,439
they put this car together and they try to figure

25
00:01:21,439 --> 00:01:25,239
out what closes Night one, what closes Night Too. I mean,

26
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:27,280
I suppose a lot of it will depend on exactly

27
00:01:27,359 --> 00:01:29,480
what's planned in these main events. Is there going to

28
00:01:29,519 --> 00:01:32,319
be some kind of big you know, big angle or

29
00:01:32,359 --> 00:01:36,280
swerve or heel turn or something like that. I still

30
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:39,879
feel like punkin Cody get the Night Too slot, But

31
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:42,560
they took a giant leap tonight towards getting me a

32
00:01:42,599 --> 00:01:44,760
little bit more excited about this match, more so than

33
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:47,280
I was last week. So that was one of the

34
00:01:47,359 --> 00:01:49,200
highlights of the show tonight. It was the Roman in

35
00:01:49,239 --> 00:01:51,879
Seth exchange. The other highlight of the show, and this

36
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:56,040
was not really a surprise, was the gauntlet match to

37
00:01:56,079 --> 00:02:01,040
crown a number one contender for the Intercontinental Championship. I

38
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:06,760
said this last week, wwe had one job. This was

39
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:08,719
going to be the easiest thing for them to do

40
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,719
on the road to Summer Slim, more than any other

41
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:13,759
decision that they have to make between now. In the

42
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:18,280
beginning of August. A very simple decision is to make

43
00:02:18,319 --> 00:02:21,159
sure that Chad Gable comes out of this Gauntlet as

44
00:02:21,199 --> 00:02:23,719
the number one contender, and we set up Gable and

45
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:27,039
pent Up for the Intercontinental title on that show, and

46
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:31,280
that's what they did. We had what seven men six

47
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,000
seven men in this gauntlet match tonight, and we got

48
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,800
the right outcome. Chad Gable will challenge Penta for the title,

49
00:02:38,199 --> 00:02:44,080
his first potential singles championship in all the years that

50
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,879
he has been in this company over a decade. You

51
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,199
want to go back to the NX two years and

52
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:51,080
he is on the cusps. He's on the verge of

53
00:02:51,319 --> 00:02:54,919
winning his first singles title. In an age where people

54
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:59,280
win titles all the time, It's pretty insane to think

55
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,599
that Chad Gable has yet to hold a single single

56
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:06,479
singles a single singles championship in his career. Hopefully that

57
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,680
will change. I love Penta, but that shit's got a

58
00:03:09,759 --> 00:03:14,479
change in Minneapolis, So I was very happy to see

59
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:16,840
that that was the easiest choice. Triple H is going

60
00:03:16,879 --> 00:03:20,599
to make all summer Slim season. They also set up

61
00:03:20,599 --> 00:03:24,159
another match for the PLEE, which is one that I've

62
00:03:24,199 --> 00:03:27,039
been talking about. It seemed pretty obvious that we were

63
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:29,000
headed for a six man tag, and now we know

64
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:30,879
for a fact that we are getting the six man tag.

65
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:34,520
It is going to be Jacob Fantu and the USO's

66
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:36,759
Jay Usso has not been on the show for two

67
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:40,199
weeks now. Ever, since all that news broke about him

68
00:03:40,199 --> 00:03:42,360
and his personal life on TMZ, we have not seen

69
00:03:42,439 --> 00:03:44,120
jay Usso. He's got to get his own house in

70
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:47,159
order first, I guess, but he has a summer slim match.

71
00:03:47,159 --> 00:03:49,400
It's going to be him and Jimmy and Jacob taking

72
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:53,879
on La Night, Royce Keys, and I guess the newly

73
00:03:54,039 --> 00:03:58,759
Babyface Solo's SOCOA because based on what he did on

74
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,120
the show tonight, it's sure like this was supposed to

75
00:04:01,159 --> 00:04:02,919
be a Babyface turn. I don't know if the crowd

76
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,000
took it that way. It's not like I got some

77
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:09,599
big reaction, but they did set the six man tag

78
00:04:09,719 --> 00:04:12,840
up for that show, and I'm actually wondering as I

79
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:15,520
look back on the reaction to the announcement of it,

80
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:17,759
because it was La Knight who had the mic in

81
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:20,399
his hand and made the announcement, I wonder if the

82
00:04:20,399 --> 00:04:22,759
people in the building in Dallas tonight thought they were

83
00:04:22,759 --> 00:04:25,680
getting the match tonight, only to find out no, it's

84
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,600
gonna happen at Summer Slam, because how I mean, it's

85
00:04:28,639 --> 00:04:30,560
the sort of match that you would expect to get

86
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:34,680
on TV and not at Summer Slam. But it always

87
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:37,839
felt like these guys have nothing else to do on

88
00:04:37,879 --> 00:04:39,920
that show. If you don't put them in a six

89
00:04:39,959 --> 00:04:43,600
man tag, what else logically would they even be doing

90
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,279
at Summer Slam? Right, They've all been beefing with each

91
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:49,319
other now for weeks. This seemed to be the direction

92
00:04:49,399 --> 00:04:52,079
that made the most sense. So now we get Solo

93
00:04:52,199 --> 00:04:54,560
Socoa in a bit of a different role for a change,

94
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,079
no longer with the MFTs, no longer with the blood

95
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:04,000
line on his own, having to associate now with La Night.

96
00:05:04,199 --> 00:05:07,240
I mean, that could make for some interesting television. I'm

97
00:05:07,319 --> 00:05:10,279
game for anything different. I think that there's a great

98
00:05:10,319 --> 00:05:14,680
babyface not deep, not deep, it's there. It kind of

99
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:16,959
bubbles up every now and then, but buried within Solo

100
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:20,759
Soco as a great babyface run, and I hope we

101
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:23,920
get the chance to see that. Unfortunately, we also had

102
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:28,439
some terrible television tonight because there was a horrible segment.

103
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:33,279
While it did further things along for another potential SummerSlam

104
00:05:33,399 --> 00:05:36,160
match for the world tag team titles. I mean, we'll

105
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,480
see if we end up getting that on the PLA

106
00:05:38,639 --> 00:05:40,480
or if they do it on Raw. We had a

107
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:45,079
segment with Maxine Dupre, Austin Theory, bron Breaker, and Logan Paul.

108
00:05:45,959 --> 00:05:49,560
They were out there taking a victory lap otison Tozawa.

109
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:54,240
We got acting on the show, and not very good acting.

110
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:59,360
We had some drama why Maxine, why this is what otis?

111
00:05:59,439 --> 00:06:03,519
And Tozawa wanted to know why. We tried to warn you.

112
00:06:04,639 --> 00:06:07,040
We tried to warn you that this man was no good.

113
00:06:07,879 --> 00:06:15,319
He's bad news. Oh, very melodramatic. I'll tell you. What

114
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:18,560
is uh really just confounding to me is that we

115
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:22,240
are potentially on the verge of getting an announcement that

116
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:26,160
bron Breaker is going to Summer Slam and he's going

117
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:32,439
to be involved in a match against Tozawa. Yes, this

118
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:35,240
appears to be the Summer Slam direction for bron Breaker.

119
00:06:38,079 --> 00:06:43,040
What have they done to bron Breaker? We got a

120
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:47,439
tease of a return to WWE, because nothing can be

121
00:06:47,759 --> 00:06:51,279
kept secret anymore. We got a tease for Big Casts

122
00:06:51,439 --> 00:06:56,240
on his way back to WWE. No Enzo not yet

123
00:06:56,439 --> 00:07:00,839
it's early yet, but we got the date August, which

124
00:07:00,879 --> 00:07:05,519
is the Monday after Summer Slam. He's coming back with

125
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:08,480
any luck, it would be for a singles run. But

126
00:07:08,519 --> 00:07:11,199
I have a feeling this was only the first tease.

127
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,720
There'll be a tease for his his tag team partner,

128
00:07:14,759 --> 00:07:18,399
probably coming next week, and it'll all build to August third.

129
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,680
So we got our first vignette for that. We're gonna

130
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:24,879
run through this entire Raw show. We'll go through the

131
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:28,720
whole thing all for you, guys. I am the Solemn Monster.

132
00:07:28,879 --> 00:07:30,720
Thank you for joining me here. It is a Monday Night,

133
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:37,720
July thirteenth, twenty twenty six, and boy, you know that's

134
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:41,360
July thirteenth. I did not realize that until just now.

135
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:45,879
I attended my very first live Monday Night RAW twenty

136
00:07:45,959 --> 00:07:50,920
eight years ago tonight, on this very day, got to

137
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:54,800
meet Mick Foley and Owen Hart. Boy, that was a

138
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:58,160
fun show. That was a fun man. Those days were,

139
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:03,079
Those days were wild. The summer of ninety eight. Oh

140
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,639
what a time. Super chats are open, So if you

141
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:07,600
get them on in, I'll be reading all of your messages.

142
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:09,519
If you've got questions, get them on in. If you

143
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:12,800
want to support. Get them on in and we'll hang

144
00:08:12,839 --> 00:08:14,480
out and we'll have some fun, and with any luck,

145
00:08:14,519 --> 00:08:17,439
we will hit our goal for tonight. Let's find out

146
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:20,639
what that goal is going to be. We had quite

147
00:08:20,639 --> 00:08:23,279
a bit of fun last week all week long. Really

148
00:08:23,319 --> 00:08:27,079
would be the booker. Will we be booking anything tonight?

149
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:36,879
That's what we're going to find out. Let's take her

150
00:08:36,919 --> 00:08:44,480
for a spin, Spin it long, spin it hard. Here

151
00:08:44,519 --> 00:08:51,720
we go high way to hell. That's right. Three ninety okay?

152
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:55,039
Is that a nine? That is a nine? Three knives

153
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:57,159
kind of tiny there on my screen. Three ninety all right,

154
00:08:57,159 --> 00:09:01,080
three hundred and ninety likes is the goal for tonight.

155
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:03,519
You guys know what to do. We're already at two

156
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:09,720
forty four. I don't think that's too unreasonable. And maybe

157
00:09:09,759 --> 00:09:11,600
we will do some B to B a little bit

158
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:13,639
later on. We're gonna talk about a different B. We

159
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:17,200
had talk about Brock Brock, Lesnar and Paul Hayman. They

160
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:20,320
were the ones who opened the show tonight. And Brock

161
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:22,240
has a brand new T shirt that I'm sure I

162
00:09:22,279 --> 00:09:23,919
haven't checked, but I'm sure it's up right now on

163
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:30,840
WWE shop Talk Shit, Get Hit, And they had a

164
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:34,320
group of police officers walking behind them as they made

165
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:36,960
their way down to the ring. They stood guard at ringside.

166
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:40,919
They basically formed a human wall and the fans were

167
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:47,080
chanting for Obafemi. Say Hayman did his usual intros, introduced

168
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:52,120
all of the Dallas police officers outside the ring, and

169
00:09:52,159 --> 00:09:56,360
he said that Obafemi turned down a championship match with

170
00:09:56,559 --> 00:10:01,679
either champion because he is just that obsessed with Brock Lesner.

171
00:10:01,879 --> 00:10:06,679
He goes, that is stalker level. Haman called Oba the

172
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,639
biggest dummy that he's ever met. He said Oba turned

173
00:10:09,639 --> 00:10:12,279
down a title match to come after Brock like a psycho.

174
00:10:12,399 --> 00:10:17,559
Ex girlfriend said Lesner is obsessed with Oba, which scares

175
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:19,480
him half to death. He said he called Lesner when

176
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:24,240
he was out hunting and he's obsessed with Obafemi. So

177
00:10:24,279 --> 00:10:27,039
he said he went to WWE officials. He requested a

178
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:30,399
no touch clause, but it took a lot of lawyers.

179
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:33,080
He said, he went to a judge in Dallas. He

180
00:10:33,159 --> 00:10:37,200
got a restraining order against Obafemi. He said he got

181
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:40,360
another restraining order against his own client. This was news

182
00:10:40,399 --> 00:10:42,360
to brock Lesner. He looked over at Hayman and he's like,

183
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:46,440
what what are you talking about? But He said that

184
00:10:46,519 --> 00:10:49,799
Lesner is a law abiding citizen who would abide by

185
00:10:49,799 --> 00:10:53,600
the rules of the restraining order. So the lights went dark.

186
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:57,679
This brought out Obafemi and the police officers. They got

187
00:10:57,679 --> 00:10:59,919
into the ring. They stood in front of Hayman and Lesner.

188
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:04,279
Oba told Hayman explain what the hell this is. So

189
00:11:04,399 --> 00:11:06,840
Hayman said that Oba violated a restraining order and he

190
00:11:06,879 --> 00:11:10,559
told the cops to go do your job. So they

191
00:11:10,879 --> 00:11:14,399
exited the ring. Lesnar and Hayman did. Oba he grabs

192
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:19,000
one of these cops and he just hurls him out

193
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,799
over the top rope. And usually there's somebody there to

194
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:25,120
catch them. There ain't nobody there on the outside. He

195
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:27,799
just threw him out of the ring and he crashed

196
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:29,480
and burned on the floor. Then he grabbed two of

197
00:11:29,519 --> 00:11:32,759
them double choke slamb There was another one in there.

198
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:35,480
He picked him up, and you know how he throws

199
00:11:35,519 --> 00:11:37,879
people halfway across the ring. He chucked this guy out

200
00:11:37,879 --> 00:11:40,399
of the ring, and at least with him, they had

201
00:11:40,399 --> 00:11:42,360
the other cops out there to catch him and break

202
00:11:42,399 --> 00:11:46,799
his fall. So he wiped out all of the phony

203
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:52,039
cops that were at ringside. And so at that point

204
00:11:52,759 --> 00:11:54,799
it was time for Oba to speak, and he took

205
00:11:54,919 --> 00:11:58,279
issue with Hayman, calling him stupid for giving up his

206
00:11:58,399 --> 00:12:02,559
title match. Said, they both know that had he gone

207
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:07,240
for a championship, had he gone ahead and challenged either champion,

208
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:11,120
which is what he was entitled to do at SummerSlam,

209
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:15,159
he said that you know that Brock would have cost

210
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:20,440
me the match. Doesn't sound like much of a ruler,

211
00:12:20,799 --> 00:12:22,960
does it. This guy's supposed to be the ruler. He's

212
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:26,960
the king. He doesn't sound very sure of himself. I

213
00:12:27,039 --> 00:12:30,120
gave away my guarantee championship match for Summer SLEDG because

214
00:12:30,159 --> 00:12:31,879
I just knew that your guy was going to interfere

215
00:12:31,879 --> 00:12:34,840
and fuck it up for me. What a stupid fucking

216
00:12:34,879 --> 00:12:39,279
thing to say. Weeks after the fact, Oh my god,

217
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:43,039
Oba said, Lesnar can no longer run from him inside

218
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:46,639
hell and his cell. No more bs, no more low blows.

219
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:52,000
Basically at SummerSlam. This gets settled. I will say this

220
00:12:52,399 --> 00:12:55,799
always great intensity from Oba. He was on point. I

221
00:12:55,799 --> 00:12:58,600
thought it was a great promo outside of that one

222
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:02,240
stupid line there, so you know, great stuff from Oba.

223
00:13:02,279 --> 00:13:04,639
Otherwise he looked like a world beater out there throwing

224
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:09,639
guys around the explanation though about why he sacrificed his

225
00:13:09,639 --> 00:13:13,159
Summer Slam title show. We still have no clarity, by

226
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:17,879
the way, on whether or not he actually completely ditched

227
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:20,399
his championship match, and that means he gets no title

228
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:22,120
match and he's gonna have to win the Royal Rumble

229
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:24,919
or something now, or if he's just kind of tucking

230
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:26,960
it away for a later date. Because I mentioned this

231
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:30,000
on the podcast last week, they have their own official

232
00:13:30,159 --> 00:13:34,519
like WWE post show. After all, I don't know if

233
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:38,840
it's live, but it's got like Sam Roberts and Megan Morant,

234
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:41,200
and I didn't hear it for myself, but I had

235
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:43,279
somebody mention it and then I read, you know, part

236
00:13:43,279 --> 00:13:47,039
of what they said. And the night that that happened,

237
00:13:48,279 --> 00:13:52,279
they were talking about it as if Brock and Obo

238
00:13:52,519 --> 00:13:56,519
was basically it wasn't just replacing Oba's title match at SummerSlam.

239
00:13:56,919 --> 00:13:59,759
Oba basically gave it away. It's not like, you know,

240
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:01,559
it's in my back pocket. I could take it out

241
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:04,159
whenever I want. They were talking about it as if

242
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:07,679
he sacrificed his title shot for the right to go

243
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:10,879
after this man, which, if you think about it, the

244
00:14:10,919 --> 00:14:15,320
stipulation was that you're guaranteed a championship match at SummerSlam, right,

245
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:20,120
it is specifically for SummerSlam. So without WWE clarifying things here,

246
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:24,159
and even Paul Hayman has used language that would suggest

247
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:27,519
that he gave it up completely. But I can't say

248
00:14:27,559 --> 00:14:30,799
that one hundred percent for fact because WWE just hasn't

249
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:34,600
clarified it yet. But you know him coming out here,

250
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:36,919
First of all, this is coming a few weeks late.

251
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:39,240
If he was going to argue this, then this should

252
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:42,759
have been said weeks ago. That's number one. But it's

253
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:45,519
like he's coming out here and saying, you know that

254
00:14:45,559 --> 00:14:48,080
if I would have gone ahead with my championship match,

255
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:52,919
that your your client would have cost me. And I'm

256
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:55,919
just sitting here and I'm listening to this, and I'm going, yeah,

257
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:59,000
you big dummy, because you're the one who came out

258
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:03,039
on television week after week and poke the bear. You're

259
00:15:03,039 --> 00:15:05,559
the one who came out on television week after week

260
00:15:06,039 --> 00:15:10,600
after he beats you at Clash in Italy and called

261
00:15:10,639 --> 00:15:12,919
him all kinds of names. You called him a coward,

262
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:17,000
you called him a bitch, You question his manhood every

263
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:21,200
single week. So if he did come out and cost you,

264
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:25,799
you would have nobody to blame but yourself. Like, there's

265
00:15:25,879 --> 00:15:27,559
just no way of explaining this in a way that

266
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:31,039
makes oba Femi look good. And at this point you

267
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:32,639
may as well not even address If you go to

268
00:15:32,679 --> 00:15:34,799
address it, you address it in week one, you don't

269
00:15:34,799 --> 00:15:37,519
address it two or three weeks later. What a stupid

270
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:41,039
fucking thing to say. But in any event, it is

271
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:43,480
what it is. It's done. What's done is done, and

272
00:15:43,519 --> 00:15:45,679
we have our hell in a cell match for Summer

273
00:15:45,759 --> 00:15:48,159
Slim and at this point that's all that matters. But like, again,

274
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:50,000
I'm listening to what he's saying here, and I'm like,

275
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:54,240
if you're so concerned about this man getting involved in

276
00:15:54,279 --> 00:15:58,480
your business, maybe don't go out on television and call

277
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:01,679
him out and call him all kinds of insults, right,

278
00:16:01,919 --> 00:16:05,440
you're only inviting trouble by doing that. You would have

279
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:08,480
gotten exactly what you deserved. Meanwhile, you went through this

280
00:16:08,679 --> 00:16:12,759
entire King of the Ring tournament. He never showed up, right,

281
00:16:12,799 --> 00:16:17,159
he never popped up even once. I just decided to

282
00:16:17,159 --> 00:16:19,360
give it away because I knew you would fuck it

283
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:23,200
up for me. See, he's playing three D chess. I

284
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:25,360
didn't want to give you the chance to mess up

285
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:28,480
my title opportunity, So I just gave away my title opportunity.

286
00:16:29,279 --> 00:16:35,720
Good job there, buddy. Michael Cole was hyping up what

287
00:16:35,799 --> 00:16:40,440
he called a multi week series on the history of

288
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:43,799
the Shield to build to the Rollins and Rains title

289
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:47,039
match at SummerSlam. They also mentioned that Roman Reigns, this

290
00:16:47,159 --> 00:16:50,279
was announced earlier, is going to be at Saturday Night's

291
00:16:50,279 --> 00:16:53,159
main event, but he is not coming alone. He will

292
00:16:53,159 --> 00:16:56,679
be there as well as Jalen Brunson of the New

293
00:16:56,720 --> 00:17:00,919
York Knicks, who just underwent surgery on his wrist, the

294
00:17:01,039 --> 00:17:05,359
NBA champion Jalen Brunson, so they're going to be together

295
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:09,319
at Saturday Night's main event. This weekend, we had Eo

296
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:15,599
Sky and Roxanne Perez one on one. Roxane had Lived

297
00:17:15,599 --> 00:17:20,839
Morgan in Raquel Rodriguez with her. EO landed a springboard

298
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:24,359
moonsalt out on the floor and she tossed roxand back

299
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:27,640
inside Live. Morgan distracted Eo as she was trying to

300
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:30,279
get back in the ring, and Roxanne was able to

301
00:17:30,279 --> 00:17:33,440
blindside her heading into a commercial. So we come back.

302
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:36,839
Roxanne is got her all tied up in a tree

303
00:17:36,839 --> 00:17:41,039
of woe, kicking at the knee and EO is able

304
00:17:41,079 --> 00:17:45,000
to get her knees up to block a moonsalt a

305
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:51,519
temp she hits up butterfly backbreaker. There's the patented Eosky

306
00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:55,160
missile dropkick. She went for the Meteora in the corner.

307
00:17:55,279 --> 00:17:58,920
Nobody home, so the knees hit the turnbuckles. Roxanne was

308
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:01,759
stretching her knee. EO was able to reverse into a

309
00:18:01,759 --> 00:18:04,920
cross face and that got broken up. EO went to

310
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:07,119
the top. She was going for her moon Salt live

311
00:18:07,279 --> 00:18:11,599
in Roxanne or Raquel. Rather, they interfered. They wanted to

312
00:18:11,839 --> 00:18:15,400
try to get her to stay grounded, so at that

313
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:18,559
point Roxanne rolled up. EO, though, was able to reverse

314
00:18:18,599 --> 00:18:22,920
it and basically in reversing it, she sat on Roxanne's

315
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:26,319
face with the legs hooked and she got the pin.

316
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:29,039
So when the match was over, Roxanne to live. They

317
00:18:29,079 --> 00:18:33,359
attacked Leo. Here comes Soul Ruca Women's IC champion, going

318
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:35,839
to attempt to make the save. She went for a

319
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:39,359
dive out of the ring onto Raquel, but she got

320
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:44,440
caught and Raquel swung her headfirst into the barricade, then

321
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:48,240
whipped her up into a power bomb position and very hard.

322
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:52,200
She slammed her up against the I can't even say

323
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:55,319
the ring post. Whatever that led casing is around the

324
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:59,720
ring post. She slammed her into it. Back inside. Morgan

325
00:18:59,839 --> 00:19:04,799
hit oblivion on EO, and then Roxanne and Raquel. They

326
00:19:04,839 --> 00:19:07,880
held EO so liv could blast her in the head

327
00:19:08,319 --> 00:19:11,039
with the Women's Championship. Looked like she got her pretty

328
00:19:11,039 --> 00:19:13,759
good with it too. It looked like she had a

329
00:19:13,799 --> 00:19:16,680
small cut on her forehead that was starting to bleed.

330
00:19:17,279 --> 00:19:19,480
I heard like a thump when she hit her in

331
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:22,200
the I could have sworn I heard a thump when

332
00:19:22,279 --> 00:19:24,839
she smacked her in the head with that belt. So

333
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:27,920
it looked like she caught her pretty good, solid match,

334
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,519
predictable outcome. Again. Io was the one who's going to

335
00:19:31,079 --> 00:19:33,880
Summer Slam to challenge for the championship. She wasn't losing

336
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:37,000
a Roxane. I'm surprised they didn't just do a run

337
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:40,039
in and give us a non finish. But of course

338
00:19:40,039 --> 00:19:43,480
she was not losing this match. I thought Raquel's attack

339
00:19:43,799 --> 00:19:46,640
actually on soul look good. I do wonder if they

340
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:50,480
rematch them at some point. I wasn't expecting a title

341
00:19:50,559 --> 00:19:53,519
change in their first match. Just felt too soon. It's

342
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:56,680
I mean, it's still too soon, but if they wanted

343
00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:59,319
to have Raquel and Soul on the Summer Slam car

344
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:01,519
for the ICTs, Like, if they booked that match on

345
00:20:01,559 --> 00:20:05,640
that show, they're doing a title change. Put it that way.

346
00:20:05,799 --> 00:20:07,559
If they if they run that match back, I do

347
00:20:07,599 --> 00:20:10,319
think we get a title change. It just didn't feel

348
00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:13,240
like the right time though, you know when they did it,

349
00:20:13,279 --> 00:20:15,960
was it two weeks ago? Whenever? Maybe it was last week.

350
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:19,279
All these matches just seem to run together. I feel

351
00:20:19,319 --> 00:20:22,079
like we're just constantly seeing the same people and just

352
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:24,519
like different combinations of the same people week in and

353
00:20:24,559 --> 00:20:27,920
week out. It could be hard sometimes to like remember,

354
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:30,519
wait a minute, when did we get that match last week?

355
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:33,079
Or did we get that match three weeks ago? I

356
00:20:33,079 --> 00:20:35,680
don't know, because three weeks ago and two weeks ago

357
00:20:35,799 --> 00:20:38,559
and last week they all kind of run together, right,

358
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:40,440
Sometimes it feels that way. They all kind of feel

359
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:44,559
the same. But I thought her attack do on Soul

360
00:20:44,599 --> 00:20:46,799
looked good, puts more heat on the judgment day, so

361
00:20:46,839 --> 00:20:51,000
it made sense what they did here. Then we had

362
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:55,240
my least favorite part of this entire show, the worst

363
00:20:55,279 --> 00:20:59,319
thing on the show, the vision or what's left of

364
00:20:59,519 --> 00:21:04,880
the vision. We had Austin theory and Maxine Dupre new

365
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:09,519
Couple on TV along with bron Breaker and Logan Paul

366
00:21:09,599 --> 00:21:12,559
out to the ring to celebrate regaining the world tag

367
00:21:12,599 --> 00:21:18,359
team titles from the Street Profits. And if you remember,

368
00:21:18,599 --> 00:21:21,240
we had the Maxine Dupre heel turned in that match.

369
00:21:21,799 --> 00:21:26,240
She was swaping spit with Austin theory. Logan Paul tried

370
00:21:26,279 --> 00:21:28,799
to speak first, but he handed the mic over to

371
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:32,200
Maxine and she was getting good heat. She was kind

372
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:34,559
of getting the dominic mysterio treatment there where they didn't

373
00:21:34,559 --> 00:21:37,279
want to let her speak. And then it was kind

374
00:21:37,279 --> 00:21:40,160
of weird because I understand that there were people who

375
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:42,119
were booing her and she was trying to let the

376
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:46,400
booze kind of rain out a little bit, but it

377
00:21:46,519 --> 00:21:48,279
just felt to me like they were stalling, like she

378
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:52,640
was just stalling like crazy. I'm like, just say something.

379
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:54,839
It's just like, come on, let's get to it already.

380
00:21:55,519 --> 00:21:57,640
And this was just dragging out and out and out,

381
00:21:57,680 --> 00:21:59,400
and like they were waiting for something. And then here

382
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:02,759
comes Otis and Tozau, so maybe they were late on

383
00:22:02,799 --> 00:22:06,319
their cue. I don't know. They walk out and they

384
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:12,880
just look crestfallen, whatever word melancholy, devastated. They look like

385
00:22:13,319 --> 00:22:17,039
they were mourning someone's passing. Okay, they're in a very

386
00:22:17,039 --> 00:22:21,480
bad move, very deep depression. They come walking out and

387
00:22:21,519 --> 00:22:25,559
they make their way down to the ring. Tozawa asks Maxine,

388
00:22:26,079 --> 00:22:29,920
can we talk? And Maxine says, you know what, guys,

389
00:22:30,759 --> 00:22:33,559
I got this, and she tells the other members of

390
00:22:33,599 --> 00:22:36,839
the Vision that they can leave the ring. They're like,

391
00:22:36,839 --> 00:22:40,960
are you sure? They yeah, so Breaker and Logan and

392
00:22:41,039 --> 00:22:44,359
Theory they all go outside and then give Maxine the

393
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:49,440
ring all by herself along with Alpha Academy, and Tozawa

394
00:22:49,519 --> 00:22:54,519
asks her like, what are you doing? He said this,

395
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:59,440
you know you're a wonderful human being. Theory is all

396
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:05,640
wrong for you. So now Maxine had to act. She

397
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:08,359
said that she still loves Otis and Tozaua, now the

398
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:11,839
fans are booing and they start chanting, you sold out.

399
00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:15,359
She said that Otis and Tozawa they told her that

400
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:17,680
she couldn't be with them anymore if she was going

401
00:23:17,759 --> 00:23:20,240
to be with Theory. She said that it's not fair

402
00:23:20,319 --> 00:23:25,319
because they don't know him. So Otis then remember telling

403
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:29,160
Maxine the Theory is bad news, and Otis said that

404
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:32,599
I have something that I've been wanting to get off

405
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:37,160
my chest for a long time. So Theory starts laughing

406
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:41,799
outside the ring and says that gets up on the

407
00:23:41,799 --> 00:23:44,680
apron first, and he says, are are you going to

408
00:23:44,799 --> 00:23:50,279
confess your feelings for Maxine tells Otis that people like

409
00:23:50,319 --> 00:23:54,880
you don't end up with people like her. So Otis

410
00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:57,680
pulled Theory from the apron into the ring. Bron Breaker

411
00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:01,599
he got back inside, he put Otis down. Breaker tumbled

412
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:04,039
out to the floor when Tozawa low bridged him out

413
00:24:04,039 --> 00:24:07,480
over the top rope. Tozawa did a dive, a suicide

414
00:24:07,519 --> 00:24:11,279
dive out of the ring at bron Breaker, and Breaker

415
00:24:11,319 --> 00:24:13,680
was supposed to catch him and he didn't. He just

416
00:24:13,759 --> 00:24:16,160
kind of I know, it's kind of weird, like these

417
00:24:16,279 --> 00:24:19,200
suicide dives look worse and worse and worse and worse

418
00:24:19,279 --> 00:24:21,680
and worse and worse and worse and worse and worse

419
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:25,119
by the week. I'm sorry. More often than not, I'm

420
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:28,000
watching these suicide and for every good one that we see,

421
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:31,640
it's just a guy flying through the ropes, taking this

422
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:35,079
completely unnecessary risk to do what exactly. He throws his

423
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:38,000
arms out and the other guy puts his arms up

424
00:24:38,039 --> 00:24:39,559
to block him, but then he's got to sell it

425
00:24:39,759 --> 00:24:41,880
like it had some sort of impact like it's it

426
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:44,920
looks fucking horrendous and I wish, God, I wish, I

427
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:48,039
wish it was a fucking moratorium on these dives. So anyway,

428
00:24:48,039 --> 00:24:50,440
he was supposed to catch him and he didn't, so

429
00:24:50,519 --> 00:24:52,920
then he picks Tozawa up and he grabbed him and

430
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:55,920
get him the belly to belly overhead suplex. He gave

431
00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:59,200
him a sup plex so hard. I don't believe Tozaua

432
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:03,319
touched the table one time. He went over the table,

433
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:07,359
never touched it, and then hit the whatever hit the

434
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:11,680
office chairs or whatever. So then back in the ring

435
00:25:11,799 --> 00:25:14,480
Otis he ended up getting the better a breaker in Theory.

436
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:18,519
Otis took a step towards Theory. Theory is kind of

437
00:25:18,839 --> 00:25:22,319
down cowering in the corner, and Otis takes a step

438
00:25:22,319 --> 00:25:27,400
towards him, and Maxine steps in front of Otis, and

439
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:30,599
Maxine is acting like, you know, oh, she's being nice

440
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:32,160
to him. No no, no, no, no, I wish I

441
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:34,720
knew that you would have felt this way, And she

442
00:25:34,839 --> 00:25:36,440
made it look like she was about to give him

443
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:40,200
a kiss. But before they could kiss, Theory comes up

444
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:44,279
from behind Otis and delivers a low blow and then

445
00:25:44,319 --> 00:25:47,880
you could see the smile on Maxine's face, and she

446
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:51,200
pie faces Otis, you know, down to the map. Breaker

447
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:53,119
gets back in the ring, he puts Otis down with

448
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:56,480
a spear. Breaker held Otis while Theory put on a

449
00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:59,599
pair of brass knuckles and punched Otis in the face

450
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:03,160
with him, and Theory also held up Otis for a

451
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:06,720
super spear. Breaker hit the ropes back and forth, back

452
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:08,839
and forth to build up speed, and then he took

453
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:13,680
them down with a spear. This was not good. This

454
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:16,119
was not good. I kind of gave you the nuts

455
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:18,599
and bolts of what happened here, but boy, I sped

456
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:19,920
it up a little bit. I felt like I was

457
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:25,079
watching this segment on point five x speed. This was

458
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:28,960
just terrible television. Like, I know what they were trying

459
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:31,519
to do here, get more heat on Maxine, get more

460
00:26:31,559 --> 00:26:33,759
heat on the vision. And I'm not saying that there

461
00:26:33,799 --> 00:26:35,319
was no heat on them. I mean the fans were

462
00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:38,960
booing her, but I don't know, just they were like

463
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:41,839
stretching this thing out. Even at the end there, like

464
00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:43,920
after they took out the baby faces and they're kind

465
00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:47,640
of standing around and then nothing's happening instead of them

466
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:50,000
just sort of posing and then leaving there just standing around,

467
00:26:50,039 --> 00:26:52,079
and I'm like, are they waiting for something? Like something

468
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:55,440
was off here with this segment and I just didn't

469
00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:57,440
think it was very good. But I'm also like, I'm

470
00:26:57,480 --> 00:27:02,480
looking at bron Breaker, just like, what have they done

471
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:07,440
to bron Breaker? I mean, this guy went from being

472
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:12,000
a World championship contender to being the third wheel in

473
00:27:12,079 --> 00:27:16,960
his own group. Someone in my mentions and I wish

474
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:19,359
I would have jotted the name them, because that's all

475
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:21,039
I posted. At the end of the segment. I said,

476
00:27:21,079 --> 00:27:24,160
what have they done to bron Breaker? And there was

477
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:28,359
somebody of my mentions and it's actually very true. He said,

478
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:31,759
it's literally the toy story you meme said, Bron is

479
00:27:31,839 --> 00:27:35,920
woody and Oba is buzz And I'm like, yes, that's

480
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:39,119
exactly what it is. Oba is the shiny new toy.

481
00:27:40,599 --> 00:27:45,000
It's not bron anymore. And again, if you were to

482
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:48,000
put Bron and Oba next to each other, and you

483
00:27:48,039 --> 00:27:50,480
were to say to me, we want to elevate somebody

484
00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:55,519
as our next megastar, you have these two choices, who

485
00:27:55,519 --> 00:27:58,640
do you go with. I'm going with Oba Femi. I'm

486
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:01,039
not even saying they got it wrong by pushing Obafemi.

487
00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:03,319
But by pushing Obafemi, that doesn't mean that you have

488
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:08,079
to take bron Breaker and break him down as if

489
00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:09,839
like we're gonna break him down to the eventually we'll

490
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:13,759
just build him back up again. I'm just like, looking

491
00:28:13,759 --> 00:28:15,920
at this going they just set up a potential Summer

492
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:20,119
Slim Tag Team championship match. We are looking at a

493
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:24,359
situation where bron Breaker at this year's SummerSlam is going

494
00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:28,319
to be occupied in a fucking match with Otis and Tozaua.

495
00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:34,240
I mean, compare that to what you know he was

496
00:28:34,279 --> 00:28:37,400
doing just any number of months ago. That's quite the

497
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:40,880
come doown. And it's not like they haven't had opportunities

498
00:28:41,519 --> 00:28:44,480
to do more with him and really bust him out

499
00:28:44,519 --> 00:28:48,160
as like a true badass on the show. And boy

500
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:51,240
is he taking a back seat. I guess when they're

501
00:28:51,279 --> 00:28:53,680
ready for him, they'll they'll put that extra effort in,

502
00:28:53,759 --> 00:28:57,160
but that's certainly not happening right now. This this feels

503
00:28:57,200 --> 00:29:00,240
like a title match for Summer Slim. You got two nights,

504
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:02,920
you know, I'm sure they're gonna want to have the

505
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:06,319
Vision represented on the Summer Slam card. They could do

506
00:29:06,359 --> 00:29:09,079
it on Raw, doesn't I mean This doesn't exactly feel

507
00:29:09,119 --> 00:29:11,839
like a PL match, but you got two nights. If

508
00:29:11,839 --> 00:29:14,119
they'd want to do thirteen fourteen matches, I could see

509
00:29:14,119 --> 00:29:16,000
this being one of them. I know the tag team

510
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:18,240
titles on either brand typically they don't get a lot

511
00:29:18,279 --> 00:29:21,480
of shine, they don't get a lot of attention. Did

512
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:23,559
we even have a tag team title match of WrestleMania

513
00:29:23,599 --> 00:29:27,039
this year? I don't even remember. I don't even remember.

514
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:30,480
What I do remember is last year the SmackDown Tag

515
00:29:30,519 --> 00:29:33,279
Team division was cooking, and even they couldn't get a

516
00:29:33,319 --> 00:29:36,480
match or WrestleMania, so they gave them TLC on TV instead.

517
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:39,119
I don't remember what they did with the tag team

518
00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:44,119
titles this year. Better question is who gives a shit?

519
00:29:46,079 --> 00:29:50,559
Jimmy Usso he came out during the commercial break. He

520
00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:53,440
was asking where Solo Socoa was when all of a sudden,

521
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:57,519
Royce Keys jumps him from Okay, everyone is telling me, no,

522
00:29:57,759 --> 00:30:01,839
that's what I thought. I was pretty sure that neither

523
00:30:02,279 --> 00:30:05,039
championship was defended this year. You have two sets of

524
00:30:05,079 --> 00:30:08,200
tech team titles. I don't remember either of them making

525
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:13,279
the wrestlemaniaccur there, there, there is, There's Solo Scow that

526
00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:16,960
was the reaction right there from WWE Creative when one

527
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:19,000
of the writers suggested, why don't we do a tag

528
00:30:19,039 --> 00:30:23,359
team title match WrestleMania this year? That was that was

529
00:30:23,359 --> 00:30:30,599
a visual representation of Triple H's reaction. Anyway, Jimmy comes out,

530
00:30:31,039 --> 00:30:35,359
they're they're at commercial, where's solo? Royce Keys from SmackDown

531
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:39,519
jumps him from behind. No reaction for this. I'm not

532
00:30:39,519 --> 00:30:41,240
sure most of the people in the building even knew

533
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:45,480
who it was at first. So they're brawling and Adam

534
00:30:45,519 --> 00:30:48,200
Pierce comes out and he says, if you guys want

535
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:51,200
to fight, I'll get a referee out here and you

536
00:30:51,279 --> 00:30:54,200
guys can fight. And so the match started during commercial.

537
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:58,039
When they came back, it was joined already in progress. Amazing.

538
00:30:59,839 --> 00:31:02,240
They were not back on the air for more than

539
00:31:02,319 --> 00:31:05,200
two and a half minutes, maybe three at the most,

540
00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:15,000
and then they went to another commercial break. God. After

541
00:31:15,039 --> 00:31:18,839
the break, Keys caught Jimmy with a power slam. They

542
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:20,799
cut to a split screen all of a sudden, and

543
00:31:20,839 --> 00:31:23,920
they show an SUV pulling up to the building and

544
00:31:24,039 --> 00:31:27,319
Jacob Fatu gets out and the camera stays with him.

545
00:31:27,359 --> 00:31:29,000
So we have a split screen. We have the match

546
00:31:29,039 --> 00:31:32,279
on one side, we have fa Tu walking through the back,

547
00:31:32,759 --> 00:31:36,440
through the crowd down to the ring. He gets in

548
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:41,359
the ring, he jumps Keys for the disqualification. I want

549
00:31:41,359 --> 00:31:44,480
to say the match itself went five or six minutes.

550
00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:48,920
Three of it actually aired, so I can't say anything

551
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:53,240
about the match itself. The match was nothing. The match

552
00:31:53,279 --> 00:31:55,839
was a backdrop to get Jacob to come down and

553
00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:57,519
do what they were going to do. When the match

554
00:31:57,599 --> 00:32:01,640
was over, Jacob said Royce in the corner for a

555
00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:04,599
hip attack with the chair placed around his head, and

556
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:06,880
the entire time he's telling him, I didn't want to

557
00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:08,680
do this. I didn't want to do this right because

558
00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:10,759
these two are tight and they go back many years.

559
00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:13,519
I think they even mentioned here the Keys was trained

560
00:32:13,519 --> 00:32:17,440
by Rakishi. That's his connection to the bloodline's connection to

561
00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:20,319
the family. So he was going to come in for

562
00:32:20,359 --> 00:32:22,640
the running hip attack. Before he could come in though,

563
00:32:23,559 --> 00:32:28,400
we hear the voice of Solo, not me, Solo Soko.

564
00:32:29,119 --> 00:32:32,920
He's over by the timekeeper's area and he's telling Jacob,

565
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:35,960
you know, don't do it, don't do it. He gets

566
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:37,799
in the ring and he tells him, you know, blood

567
00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:42,440
is thicker than water, and I'm coming home to the family.

568
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:48,079
So then he holds up the ones. Jimmy comes over,

569
00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:50,319
he puts up the ones, and Jacob comes over and

570
00:32:50,359 --> 00:32:54,440
he puts up the ones. It's like old times. And

571
00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:59,759
then Solo flashes a smile and he turns on Jimmy

572
00:32:59,799 --> 00:33:02,960
and drop some of the Samoan spike. And I'd be

573
00:33:03,039 --> 00:33:04,960
lying if I told you that this got like some

574
00:33:05,119 --> 00:33:07,839
big reaction like oh, the big baby face turned for

575
00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:11,839
Solo Socoa. Yeah, didn't really get as much of a

576
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:14,319
reaction as you would expect a moment like that might get.

577
00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:16,400
And I think part of a big part of it,

578
00:33:17,119 --> 00:33:18,799
I don't think that people know who to root for

579
00:33:18,839 --> 00:33:23,359
in this situation, like they like La Night. Beyond that, though,

580
00:33:24,079 --> 00:33:25,960
who are they supposed to be cheering here? Like when

581
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:29,880
the usos come out and Jay Uso in particular, they

582
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:33,160
love to yeat right, so they'll do the yeating and

583
00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:35,079
everything that they'll want him to run it back and

584
00:33:35,119 --> 00:33:38,880
they're cheering him like a babyface, but in this situation

585
00:33:39,119 --> 00:33:43,799
he's really not. Jacob had a lot of fans support

586
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:47,759
and then they beat him in May right a backlash,

587
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:49,920
and then they beat him again in Italy. He lost

588
00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:51,920
twice in the same month to Roman reigns and now

589
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:56,079
he's his lap dog in the Bloodline. So Jacob's another one,

590
00:33:56,119 --> 00:34:00,119
Like what have they done lately to Jacob Fatu? And

591
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:03,519
so the reaction to him is very mixed now when

592
00:34:03,519 --> 00:34:06,119
he comes up, some people cheers, some people booz some

593
00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:09,679
people don't know how to react Solo Soca. They want

594
00:34:09,679 --> 00:34:12,079
to turn a babyface. I think that he could be

595
00:34:12,119 --> 00:34:15,320
a good babyface. But it you know, people don't know

596
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:17,599
what to make of this right now. You know, it's

597
00:34:17,639 --> 00:34:23,440
like they're kind of confused on Okay, where should we

598
00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:25,800
be aligned here, Who's in the right, who's in the wrong,

599
00:34:26,199 --> 00:34:28,320
what's going on here? We like La Knight, but like

600
00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:30,599
I don't know, and we don't know much about Roy's

601
00:34:30,679 --> 00:34:32,800
Keys and what's going on with these. It's all very

602
00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:37,480
like weird. It's just a very weird dynamic right now.

603
00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:43,480
So they start ganging up on Solo SoC and Royce Keys.

604
00:34:43,519 --> 00:34:48,320
Here comes La Night and he's got a chair, so

605
00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:51,079
he backdropped Jimmy to the floor. He attacked Fatu with

606
00:34:51,119 --> 00:34:54,280
the chair. So the blood Line is sent into retreat

607
00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:58,360
down the aisle. Night gets on the mic and yeah,

608
00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:00,639
he's going through all of his usual cat phrases, We're

609
00:35:00,639 --> 00:35:02,800
going to smack you back to factory settings and all

610
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:06,079
this other stuff, and he lays down the challenge for

611
00:35:06,159 --> 00:35:10,400
Summer Slam. Three you against the three of us in

612
00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:12,159
a six man tex and I do wonder how many

613
00:35:12,159 --> 00:35:14,000
people in the building thought they were setting this up

614
00:35:14,039 --> 00:35:17,199
for like after commercial, but they set this up for

615
00:35:17,199 --> 00:35:21,199
Summer Slam. Yeah. Again, this is the match that I

616
00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:23,519
was expecting. I've been talking about this now for probably

617
00:35:23,559 --> 00:35:25,599
a couple of weeks now that this is what we

618
00:35:25,599 --> 00:35:28,440
were headed for, and now they made it official. All

619
00:35:28,519 --> 00:35:30,960
the segments that they've been doing with these guys, especially

620
00:35:31,079 --> 00:35:32,800
La n I La and I's been ragging on the

621
00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:36,719
bloodline now for weeks and weeks. It was building to this,

622
00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:39,480
and it's a way to get all six of them

623
00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:42,519
on the show together. Now, is Solo Soco We're going

624
00:35:42,599 --> 00:35:44,239
to turn on his partners? Is he going to pull

625
00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:46,159
a horseman? You know when Flair used to turn on

626
00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:48,599
Sting when Sting would make the mistake of trusting him,

627
00:35:49,159 --> 00:35:52,280
and then Solo ends up with the family. Because I'm curious,

628
00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:55,599
coming out of SummerSlam, what do they do with Solo Soko?

629
00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:58,039
Does he stay on SmackDown does he end up on raw,

630
00:35:58,440 --> 00:35:59,679
Is he going to be on his own? Is he

631
00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:02,440
going to be more of a babyface? Do they want

632
00:36:02,519 --> 00:36:05,480
him as part of another group. I don't know. I

633
00:36:05,519 --> 00:36:07,440
don't know. There's things that you can do with him.

634
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:10,679
He can be very entertaining. The stuff with the MFTs

635
00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:16,159
was just a complete, absolute waste. I think of his personality.

636
00:36:16,199 --> 00:36:20,239
I mean, he's a naturally funny, entertaining guy. He wasn't

637
00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:22,599
allowed to show that when he was in the Bloodline

638
00:36:22,599 --> 00:36:26,480
initially because he was the silent enforcer. He didn't say anything.

639
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:28,920
And then with the MFTs, he had to play it

640
00:36:29,079 --> 00:36:31,199
very stoic and very straight, and every now and then,

641
00:36:31,239 --> 00:36:32,719
you know, he would kind of crack jokes and he

642
00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:35,119
would laugh and everything like that. But he was like

643
00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:39,320
Timu Roman unsmackdown. It's like this doesn't work, it doesn't

644
00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:43,880
suit him. So we know what we're getting at Summerslim.

645
00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:46,559
But I'm wondering what's next for him. I don't know.

646
00:36:47,519 --> 00:36:50,159
I don't know. I'm curious to see how they're gonna

647
00:36:50,199 --> 00:36:51,800
use him, if they're just gonna lump him back in

648
00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:58,199
with another group. But I think Solo the Babyface, Solo

649
00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:00,960
the Babyface is it's going to work a lot better

650
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:03,440
because it's really something we haven't seen from him on

651
00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:06,719
the main roster. We saw it at NXT, remember Next

652
00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:09,000
when he initially debuted, he was like the street fighter,

653
00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:12,039
Uh not really a funny guy, but he was a

654
00:37:12,079 --> 00:37:15,000
baby face. The fans were behind him. He's got that

655
00:37:15,079 --> 00:37:17,880
in him, LA And I don't even ask me what

656
00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:19,719
they would do with him coming out of Summer Slam.

657
00:37:20,119 --> 00:37:22,239
Probably back to the doldrums with him. I don't even

658
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:24,840
want to venture. I guess about what's next for he

659
00:37:25,039 --> 00:37:27,440
may bee eating the fucking pin at Summer Slam, for

660
00:37:27,519 --> 00:37:31,960
all I know, I wouldn't be surprised. We go backstage, Oh,

661
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:35,320
this was great. This was great. So we go backstage

662
00:37:35,679 --> 00:37:39,320
and the Vision are walking along, very proud of you

663
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:43,960
know what happened in their segment earlier on, and they

664
00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:47,360
bump into Paul Hayman, and Paul Hayman is applauding the Vision,

665
00:37:48,639 --> 00:37:51,679
and Theory wondered, does that mean that we're all back together?

666
00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:58,360
Hayman said, Maxine was so magnificent tonight, What the hell

667
00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:02,039
do you need me for? And he walked away, and

668
00:38:02,119 --> 00:38:05,119
on commentary, Corey Graves wondered if Paul Hayman had just

669
00:38:05,199 --> 00:38:10,880
handed the reins of the Vision to Maxine Dupree. This

670
00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:13,599
is where we are now. This is where we are now,

671
00:38:13,599 --> 00:38:17,000
where Maxine Dupree may well be the new leader of

672
00:38:17,039 --> 00:38:19,519
the Vision. She may be leading bron Breaker and the

673
00:38:19,519 --> 00:38:23,280
rest of the Vision here. I laughed because my interpretation

674
00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:25,239
of what we saw here this was this was the

675
00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:28,159
write off of Paul Hayman and the Vision. Now there's

676
00:38:28,199 --> 00:38:32,800
been talk about they would wwe would want to keep

677
00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:37,239
Hayman with bron Breaker if nothing else that could still happen,

678
00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:39,800
And we don't know what's gonna happen when Bronson Reid

679
00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:42,039
comes back. I feel like Bronson Reed, we're in that

680
00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:45,719
range right now where he should be coming back, not

681
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:48,599
all that long from now. I mean, he could probably

682
00:38:48,599 --> 00:38:50,239
be back in the next few weeks, I would think.

683
00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:53,719
But this was a way to get Hayman away from

684
00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:56,360
the Vision. And if you're Paul Hayman, you're probably looking

685
00:38:56,360 --> 00:38:59,000
at this going, thank God, get me out of here,

686
00:38:59,199 --> 00:39:02,199
get me away from this. This ain't working no more.

687
00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:06,159
I want nothing to do with this. So I don't know,

688
00:39:06,199 --> 00:39:08,000
we may be looking at a brand new leader here

689
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:11,679
of the Vision. Hayman was the oracle, right, he was

690
00:39:11,679 --> 00:39:17,239
Seth's oracle. He's been the advocate, the wise man, the oracle.

691
00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:23,159
What would Maxine do Pre be, what would her nickname

692
00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:25,159
be if she was the new leader of the Vision?

693
00:39:29,119 --> 00:39:33,760
Adam Pierce he was having a phone conversation backstage with somebody.

694
00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:35,519
He told whoever it was that he was on the

695
00:39:35,559 --> 00:39:38,840
phone with, that he would be there if he was needed,

696
00:39:40,199 --> 00:39:42,800
which is very interesting. And then Oba Femi showed up.

697
00:39:43,639 --> 00:39:47,119
Pierce told him that Hayman was bluffing those restraining orders.

698
00:39:47,119 --> 00:39:51,280
He talked about they don't exist, and Oba said he knew.

699
00:39:51,599 --> 00:39:55,159
He said, it tells him that Hayman and Brock are scared.

700
00:39:56,760 --> 00:39:59,400
I do wonder if the beginning of that phone conversation,

701
00:39:59,639 --> 00:40:01,480
if he was on the phone with Nick all this

702
00:40:02,239 --> 00:40:04,400
and this was some kind of reference to something that's

703
00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:06,679
happening with all this, And I'm here if you need me,

704
00:40:08,119 --> 00:40:10,480
because I think we know, after what happened on Friday,

705
00:40:10,719 --> 00:40:12,840
all this is going to have some sort of I

706
00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:15,320
can't even say wrestle. It may end up being a brawl,

707
00:40:15,559 --> 00:40:18,280
it may be something non sanctioned, but I think it's

708
00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:20,000
safe to say that what is gunther going to be

709
00:40:20,039 --> 00:40:22,360
doing at Summerslime, He's going to be fighting Nick all this,

710
00:40:23,599 --> 00:40:25,400
so maybe he was on the phone with Nick all this,

711
00:40:25,480 --> 00:40:27,400
and all this was like, look, I got some business

712
00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:29,280
to tend to. I got to do what I gotta do,

713
00:40:29,519 --> 00:40:31,519
and I may need you to kind of take the

714
00:40:31,559 --> 00:40:34,159
reins for a little bit. That was kind of how

715
00:40:34,199 --> 00:40:40,000
I read that. Now. After this, during the commercial break, actually,

716
00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:45,000
Byron Saxton had Bailey come over and he wanted to

717
00:40:45,039 --> 00:40:47,639
ask her about Lyra Valkyria, and Bailey said, you know,

718
00:40:48,239 --> 00:40:51,360
I said last week that I would address Lyra in

719
00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:52,760
the ring, and I think that's what I'm going to

720
00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:56,239
go do right now. So they played her shitty music

721
00:40:56,840 --> 00:40:58,679
and she made her way to the ring. This was

722
00:40:58,760 --> 00:41:00,559
during the commercial break, by the way, she came out

723
00:41:00,599 --> 00:41:04,039
during the commercial break, you know, Byron introduced her out

724
00:41:04,079 --> 00:41:09,360
into the stage area, and again very little reaction. I'm

725
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:11,360
listening to the beginning of this music. I mean, we

726
00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:14,400
hear it every time Bailey comes out, but like, I

727
00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:18,000
can't believe she's still coming out to this music. Has

728
00:41:18,039 --> 00:41:20,239
she been the role model? When was the last time

729
00:41:20,239 --> 00:41:23,119
that she was even the role model on this show?

730
00:41:23,159 --> 00:41:28,199
Is that still supposed to be her gimmick role model.

731
00:41:29,679 --> 00:41:31,880
This is the garbage that they're sending her out to

732
00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:35,239
the ring with. I can't believe she's still coming out

733
00:41:35,280 --> 00:41:39,639
to this trash. Comes down to the ring, come back

734
00:41:39,639 --> 00:41:43,679
from commercial, she's already there. She wants Lyra Valkyrie to

735
00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:50,599
join her in the ring. Lyra comes out and certainly

736
00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:55,000
certainly a new look for Lyra. I said when when

737
00:41:55,039 --> 00:41:57,719
she turned, somebody called her, she's an angry bird. Now,

738
00:41:58,039 --> 00:42:00,440
I said, yeah, she's an angry bird. I don't know

739
00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:02,679
what kind of this is like, I don't know. She

740
00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:06,320
looked like she hadn't slept in a while. She looked

741
00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:10,280
very unkempt, no makeup on. She looked like one of

742
00:42:10,320 --> 00:42:12,880
the unwashed masses. As she made her way down to

743
00:42:12,920 --> 00:42:16,199
the ring, she actually kind of looked and somebody said

744
00:42:16,239 --> 00:42:20,679
she looked like oh god, somebody said, Daphne. I looked

745
00:42:20,679 --> 00:42:22,719
at her. I thought she looked like crazy, the crazy

746
00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:26,800
nicky Cross days. She comes down to the ring, Bailey

747
00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:30,800
wants an apology. Lyra thinks that she's the one who

748
00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:34,760
deserves an apology. If Bailey could realize that her own problems,

749
00:42:35,880 --> 00:42:38,320
she would realize why so many people turn on her.

750
00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:43,039
She could just recognize her own issues. Lyra says that

751
00:42:43,320 --> 00:42:47,239
she's always lied to make Bailey feel good because the

752
00:42:47,280 --> 00:42:51,280
reality is that Bailey is nothing more than a doormat.

753
00:42:51,639 --> 00:42:56,280
Her face shouldn't beyond the posters. She drags everybody down.

754
00:42:56,400 --> 00:42:59,880
She's not a locker room leader, and you're always been

755
00:43:00,119 --> 00:43:06,199
the worst of the four horse women. That's the big

756
00:43:06,239 --> 00:43:08,800
burn there in that promo. A lot of people who

757
00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:12,559
feel that way. She's a diseased bird or the bird

758
00:43:12,639 --> 00:43:19,320
flo who said that, yes, yes, how come I didn't

759
00:43:19,360 --> 00:43:23,000
think of that. Lyra has bird flu. That's exactly what

760
00:43:23,079 --> 00:43:27,559
she Oh my god, that's perfect. That's fucking perfect. She

761
00:43:27,639 --> 00:43:29,599
walked out there, she looked like she had h one

762
00:43:29,679 --> 00:43:35,599
n one. She looked like she had bird flu. So

763
00:43:35,679 --> 00:43:39,280
Bailey she shoots back with some of her accomplishments, you know,

764
00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:43,039
first Grand Slam champion, one half of the first women's

765
00:43:43,039 --> 00:43:45,760
tag team champions, and she's going to add to that

766
00:43:45,840 --> 00:43:51,280
resume beating Lyra Valkyria in Madison Square Garden because the

767
00:43:51,320 --> 00:43:53,840
two of them are going to have a match at

768
00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:58,400
Saturday night's main event. So Lyra threw a cheap shot,

769
00:43:58,559 --> 00:44:02,199
got blocked. She ended up dropping Bailey anyway with her

770
00:44:02,239 --> 00:44:06,519
own Bailey to Belly Suplex and so there you go.

771
00:44:06,679 --> 00:44:09,480
That's the setup for a match now on Saturday. Look,

772
00:44:09,559 --> 00:44:12,320
we needed more matches. We had what three of them

773
00:44:12,320 --> 00:44:15,599
officially announced coming into tonight. We needed at least one

774
00:44:15,679 --> 00:44:21,239
more announced for Saturday show. Not the match I was expecting,

775
00:44:21,400 --> 00:44:26,280
not exactly a marquee addition to the card, but it's

776
00:44:26,280 --> 00:44:28,480
a match. It was either going to be here. It

777
00:44:28,519 --> 00:44:30,239
was going to be summer slim. Now. The way that

778
00:44:30,320 --> 00:44:33,920
Lyra was out there dressed up looking again, I said,

779
00:44:33,960 --> 00:44:39,880
she kind of reminded me of crazy crazy Nicky Cross.

780
00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:42,800
Was H one N one the swine flu? I don't know.

781
00:44:42,840 --> 00:44:45,039
I got my flus confused. I thought it was H

782
00:44:45,079 --> 00:44:49,920
one N one. Did I get the wrong strain of flu?

783
00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:55,159
She did not. She did not have swine flu. It

784
00:44:55,239 --> 00:44:58,280
was swine flu. Okay, well, well then what the hell

785
00:44:58,320 --> 00:45:08,840
was bird flu? I diagnosed her with the wrong condition.

786
00:45:11,840 --> 00:45:18,199
I could be sued for medical malpractice. Anyway. We've had

787
00:45:18,280 --> 00:45:22,079
reports recently about Tatum Paxley and Tatum. I think, didn't

788
00:45:22,079 --> 00:45:25,440
Tatum just lose Tazaria that the Great American Bash? It's

789
00:45:25,519 --> 00:45:28,159
sure felt like that was going to be her write

790
00:45:28,199 --> 00:45:31,599
off from the NXT brand. Would not at all be

791
00:45:31,679 --> 00:45:34,880
surprised if we get a Tatum Paxley appearance on Saturday

792
00:45:34,920 --> 00:45:38,639
and she helps Lyra win the first match, and then

793
00:45:38,679 --> 00:45:40,440
maybe they run it back with a second match at

794
00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:43,960
summer Slim I could see that. But if they were

795
00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:46,000
going to debut Tatum Paxley, that would not be a

796
00:45:46,039 --> 00:45:49,559
bad place to do it. And Madison Square Garden, you know,

797
00:45:49,599 --> 00:45:52,920
it was part of this feud, I would say, probably

798
00:45:52,960 --> 00:45:54,960
something I would consider doing. And then you can kind

799
00:45:54,960 --> 00:45:57,360
of pair her off with Lyra and they can do

800
00:45:57,559 --> 00:46:00,599
something together and Bailey Bailey may have have to enlist

801
00:46:00,599 --> 00:46:05,840
some help of her own. We had another Rains and

802
00:46:05,960 --> 00:46:12,360
Rollin's retrospective here, part two, the Breakup, and they showed

803
00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:15,840
clips from twenty fourteen of Seth putting the chair in

804
00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:20,679
Romans back on Raw, breaking up the Shield, and a

805
00:46:20,679 --> 00:46:25,559
whole bunch of other things. Then we had the teaser

806
00:46:26,440 --> 00:46:28,519
that I mentioned here at the beginning of this review.

807
00:46:29,920 --> 00:46:32,639
We had an it was a silhouette, but then you

808
00:46:33,079 --> 00:46:35,840
could clearly see it was big casts. They had some

809
00:46:35,840 --> 00:46:38,159
close up shots in his eyes right. They were kind

810
00:46:38,159 --> 00:46:40,320
of just barely obscuring it, but you could see who

811
00:46:40,360 --> 00:46:42,960
it was, and you heard a voice. It was his voice.

812
00:46:43,639 --> 00:46:46,760
What happens when the whole world calls? You can't miss

813
00:46:47,199 --> 00:46:52,719
what happens when they're wrong. And at the very end

814
00:46:52,760 --> 00:46:57,679
we see the date eight three August third is a Monday.

815
00:46:58,079 --> 00:47:00,039
It is the Monday after Summer Slam. I don't I

816
00:47:00,039 --> 00:47:02,960
don't know where that show is. Probably probably in Minneapolis,

817
00:47:02,960 --> 00:47:07,000
I would imagine, not at US Bank Stadium, but I

818
00:47:07,039 --> 00:47:09,840
would imagine they're not going to stray too far from

819
00:47:09,840 --> 00:47:13,599
where they're going to be. So Big Cast is coming back,

820
00:47:13,719 --> 00:47:16,159
and I'm watching this and I'm like, man, like, they're

821
00:47:16,199 --> 00:47:20,559
just giving that shit away, because I have every expectation

822
00:47:20,719 --> 00:47:23,320
that next week or the week after, we're going to

823
00:47:23,360 --> 00:47:25,800
get a similar vignette and it's going to have Enzo OMOI.

824
00:47:25,960 --> 00:47:29,199
Enzo Moray was not seen, he was not heard. They

825
00:47:29,199 --> 00:47:33,039
were just showing old clips of you know, Big Casts,

826
00:47:33,039 --> 00:47:34,960
and they were signs, you know, so oft they were

827
00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:38,079
showing all of that. But no Enzo here doesn't mean

828
00:47:38,159 --> 00:47:40,199
Enzo is not coming in. It doesn't mean Enzo is

829
00:47:40,239 --> 00:47:43,639
not going to be part of this. He's absolutely going

830
00:47:43,679 --> 00:47:46,159
to be part of this, I'm sure in some way.

831
00:47:46,719 --> 00:47:49,079
So maybe next week we'll get the Enzo portion of it.

832
00:47:49,119 --> 00:47:51,639
They'll put the date up again, so I wouldn't read

833
00:47:51,639 --> 00:47:53,320
too much into the fact that he wasn't a part

834
00:47:53,360 --> 00:47:55,119
of this segment here. It got me a little like

835
00:47:55,480 --> 00:47:58,159
excited watching this just because I was like, oh, well,

836
00:47:58,159 --> 00:47:59,920
maybe they're actually going to push him as a single.

837
00:48:01,119 --> 00:48:02,760
But then I thought about it. I said, that's it's

838
00:48:02,760 --> 00:48:05,760
probably just week one, right, Enzo will be there in

839
00:48:05,840 --> 00:48:08,599
week two in the promos and they'll just build to it.

840
00:48:09,760 --> 00:48:12,559
But like they're gonna come out, I don't even know

841
00:48:12,559 --> 00:48:15,639
if they would have the rights to use their old music.

842
00:48:15,880 --> 00:48:18,360
They change everybody's fucking music that they had back at

843
00:48:18,440 --> 00:48:20,639
NXT back then maybe for the initial appearance, you know,

844
00:48:20,679 --> 00:48:23,360
we'll hear that music, and believe me, people are gonna

845
00:48:23,400 --> 00:48:25,920
know and it would have gotten a great rein. Look,

846
00:48:26,119 --> 00:48:29,639
it'll still get a good reaction. But why why spoil this?

847
00:48:31,079 --> 00:48:36,039
Why not save this for for a surprise? August third

848
00:48:36,159 --> 00:48:41,320
is in des Moines, Iowa. You're going from summerslim in

849
00:48:41,320 --> 00:48:49,119
Minneapolis to des Moines, Iowa. That's weird, What a weird

850
00:48:49,159 --> 00:48:53,639
place to bring back casin Enzo. Okay, he's coming to

851
00:48:53,719 --> 00:49:01,159
des Moines. Still, I would have saved this as a surprise. Look,

852
00:49:01,199 --> 00:49:03,480
I stand by what I said. You're going to get

853
00:49:04,039 --> 00:49:08,280
huge reactions initially for them in different cities. You're gonna

854
00:49:08,280 --> 00:49:10,039
be able to coast on that for a few months,

855
00:49:10,599 --> 00:49:13,119
and then after a certain number of months, the question

856
00:49:13,239 --> 00:49:16,760
becomes what's next, because you're bringing them into a situation

857
00:49:16,840 --> 00:49:19,880
where if they're coming in as a tag team, they're

858
00:49:19,920 --> 00:49:23,719
coming in as you know, a team and a dead division.

859
00:49:25,559 --> 00:49:27,320
And I just don't know why you would want to

860
00:49:27,320 --> 00:49:30,519
put a ceiling on this guy. He's very tall, right,

861
00:49:30,599 --> 00:49:33,719
I wouldn't be putting a ceiling on him. He could

862
00:49:33,719 --> 00:49:35,960
be doing some stuff as a singles Maybe they want

863
00:49:35,960 --> 00:49:37,719
to reintroduce him as part of a team and then

864
00:49:37,760 --> 00:49:41,440
transition him eventually into a singles push. Maybe I hope,

865
00:49:42,440 --> 00:49:45,559
I hope. So I don't think there's any grand plan

866
00:49:45,760 --> 00:49:48,840
to stock up on tag teams or anything like that.

867
00:49:48,960 --> 00:49:52,679
So it's just going to get to a point where,

868
00:49:53,239 --> 00:49:54,679
you know, you get to a fork in the road,

869
00:49:54,719 --> 00:49:58,159
it's like, well, now what. I just hope they don't

870
00:49:58,360 --> 00:50:00,920
keep them there for too long. They may come back

871
00:50:00,960 --> 00:50:03,360
and be the ones to eventually beat the Vision to

872
00:50:03,400 --> 00:50:05,599
win the tag team titles. But again, what does that mean?

873
00:50:05,760 --> 00:50:07,320
It's kind of crazy to think they never won the

874
00:50:07,320 --> 00:50:10,119
belts the first time. If they were to come in

875
00:50:10,159 --> 00:50:12,719
and win the tag team titles, it would be their

876
00:50:12,760 --> 00:50:18,840
first reign together, I believe. But then what then? What?

877
00:50:20,480 --> 00:50:27,400
Who's next? Finally we got something real good on this show.

878
00:50:28,119 --> 00:50:30,199
It was time for the start of the Gauntlet Match

879
00:50:30,840 --> 00:50:34,960
to crown a new number one contender for the Intercontinental Championship.

880
00:50:34,960 --> 00:50:37,800
The winner would go on to Summer Slam for the

881
00:50:37,880 --> 00:50:43,639
right to challenge Penta. First fall here of this match,

882
00:50:44,199 --> 00:50:47,360
there's Dominic Mysterio, who had JD McDonough in his corner

883
00:50:47,400 --> 00:50:50,400
taking on Joe Henry. And I'll give you one guess

884
00:50:50,840 --> 00:50:53,880
if Joe Henry got an entrance on this show. The

885
00:50:54,000 --> 00:50:57,920
answer is no. They came back from commercial and they

886
00:50:57,920 --> 00:51:00,440
were in the middle of playing his music. So the

887
00:51:00,440 --> 00:51:05,079
streak continues of no real true entrance for Joe Hendry

888
00:51:05,079 --> 00:51:07,639
on Monday Night Raw. Maybe it's in his contract that

889
00:51:07,679 --> 00:51:11,880
he's not allowed to get one. Maybe they're contractually obligated

890
00:51:11,920 --> 00:51:16,159
to send him out there during the commercial break, so

891
00:51:16,880 --> 00:51:20,119
dom got the advantage early sent him into the ring

892
00:51:20,159 --> 00:51:23,480
steps when they were fighting outside. Back inside, Henri though

893
00:51:23,519 --> 00:51:26,719
caught him and dumped him with a fallaway slam. J

894
00:51:26,840 --> 00:51:30,119
D McDonagh distracted Henry though, which allowed Dom to hit

895
00:51:30,119 --> 00:51:34,159
a six one nine. He followed with the frog splash. Adios, Joe,

896
00:51:34,440 --> 00:51:37,960
see you later. Joe Hendry is bounced in the opening

897
00:51:38,039 --> 00:51:42,320
round here of this Gauntlet match. Thanks for coming. The

898
00:51:42,360 --> 00:51:47,519
next match Javon Evans taking on Raymisteria or Dominic Mysterio.

899
00:51:48,239 --> 00:51:50,639
Javan Evans against Raymisterio would have been a much better

900
00:51:50,679 --> 00:51:54,280
match than this was, so they joined this coming back

901
00:51:54,320 --> 00:51:58,159
from the break already in progress. Evans dumped Mysterio on

902
00:51:58,199 --> 00:52:01,440
the floor, hit him with a dive. McDonough tried to

903
00:52:01,440 --> 00:52:03,840
interfere in the match again the referee they'll caught him.

904
00:52:03,840 --> 00:52:08,960
This time Evans knocked McDonough to the floor. So then

905
00:52:09,039 --> 00:52:11,400
Dom caught Evans with a six to one night and

906
00:52:11,440 --> 00:52:12,960
he was headed up to the top. But we're going

907
00:52:13,039 --> 00:52:16,599
to get the same finish that we got to the

908
00:52:16,639 --> 00:52:21,159
first match, until Dan Hausen came out. He rolled out

909
00:52:21,159 --> 00:52:25,440
onto the stage and his magic mobile and he's sitting

910
00:52:25,440 --> 00:52:28,079
there in his little Again tank or whatever the fuck

911
00:52:28,079 --> 00:52:31,400
it's supposed to be, and he puts a curse on Dom.

912
00:52:31,519 --> 00:52:33,440
Now Dom is standing on the ropes right because he's

913
00:52:33,440 --> 00:52:36,280
getting ready to hit the frog splash, but he's looking

914
00:52:36,320 --> 00:52:40,239
over at Dan Housen and when he gets cursed, there's

915
00:52:40,320 --> 00:52:43,880
a burst of pyro, but it's from the wrong ring post.

916
00:52:45,199 --> 00:52:47,920
So Dom sees this and he's like what And he

917
00:52:47,960 --> 00:52:50,239
looks over at McDonough at ringside. He's like, go get

918
00:52:50,280 --> 00:52:54,719
him right. He's sending McDonough after him, but in doing so,

919
00:52:55,519 --> 00:52:58,960
this is distracting Dom and Dom has no idea that

920
00:52:59,039 --> 00:53:01,639
Gravan is preparing for an og cutter, and he catches

921
00:53:01,719 --> 00:53:03,639
in with the og cutter on the way down and

922
00:53:03,679 --> 00:53:07,039
he pins Dom. So Dom is eliminated. See so the

923
00:53:07,079 --> 00:53:10,440
curse worked after all, It just has different ways of working.

924
00:53:13,639 --> 00:53:16,519
His match with JD McDonough. By the way Dan House

925
00:53:16,559 --> 00:53:19,159
and I'm talking about on Saturday Night is now a

926
00:53:19,199 --> 00:53:24,119
no disqualification match. So let the fuckery commence. Maybe the

927
00:53:24,159 --> 00:53:27,000
Miz and Kit Wilson will do their zombie walk down

928
00:53:27,039 --> 00:53:31,360
to the ring and they'll help Dan Housen win third

929
00:53:31,400 --> 00:53:34,559
fall here in this gauntlet match, and the best fall

930
00:53:35,079 --> 00:53:38,599
Javon Evans one on one against Dragonly funny. Like once

931
00:53:38,679 --> 00:53:41,599
Dom was eliminated, this is where the match actually got

932
00:53:41,639 --> 00:53:45,599
good now, as Jim Ross would say, and good luck

933
00:53:45,599 --> 00:53:47,960
to Jr. Who may be going in for surgery as

934
00:53:48,000 --> 00:53:52,719
early as this week for brain surgery. Business is about

935
00:53:52,719 --> 00:53:56,440
to pick up between these two. There was a spot

936
00:53:56,480 --> 00:53:59,920
outside the ring that I actually shouted, Holy shit, I

937
00:54:00,159 --> 00:54:07,079
saw it because we had Javon Evans outside. Dragonly came

938
00:54:07,119 --> 00:54:12,519
in and Javan hip tossed him over the timekeeper's barricade

939
00:54:13,079 --> 00:54:15,280
like it was in such a way where he was

940
00:54:15,440 --> 00:54:18,239
flying so fast off the hip toss he almost landed

941
00:54:18,280 --> 00:54:21,400
headfirst on the floor. But man, he fucking vaulted him over,

942
00:54:21,440 --> 00:54:26,599
and it's just all exposed, you know, concrete outside over there,

943
00:54:26,639 --> 00:54:29,679
it's some mats or anything. So he took this hillacious

944
00:54:29,679 --> 00:54:33,760
bump on the floor. And now Javon he is going

945
00:54:33,800 --> 00:54:36,400
to circle around the entire length of the ring outside

946
00:54:36,400 --> 00:54:39,119
he's kind of walking, and then he's walking, he's picking

947
00:54:39,199 --> 00:54:42,800
up speed and he charges at Dragonly, who now is

948
00:54:42,840 --> 00:54:46,239
back to his feet in the timekeeper's area, and he

949
00:54:46,400 --> 00:54:50,320
just goes he like he collided with him, but the

950
00:54:50,400 --> 00:54:54,199
momentum carried Javan over the barricade into the crowd, and

951
00:54:54,239 --> 00:54:57,480
I think dragon Ly tried to like get himself over

952
00:54:57,519 --> 00:54:59,239
the barricade with him, but he couldn't say he just

953
00:54:59,239 --> 00:55:02,400
fell to the floor. But these guys were just going

954
00:55:02,480 --> 00:55:05,960
nuts here. They were cutting loose here in this fall.

955
00:55:06,920 --> 00:55:10,519
So back inside, Lee went for a Tornado DDT and

956
00:55:10,599 --> 00:55:13,239
he spiked him with it, and the crowd is chanting,

957
00:55:13,280 --> 00:55:17,159
this is awesome. A little while later, Evans was draped

958
00:55:17,199 --> 00:55:19,320
over the middle rope, Lee hit him with a double

959
00:55:19,360 --> 00:55:22,840
stomp from the top. So Lee was setting up for

960
00:55:22,880 --> 00:55:25,800
something else. Javon hooked him into a cradle and he

961
00:55:25,840 --> 00:55:28,559
got the flash pin. This was a lot of fun,

962
00:55:28,960 --> 00:55:31,639
and this was the point where the crowd was really

963
00:55:32,119 --> 00:55:35,800
like getting into it here. Then it led into the

964
00:55:35,840 --> 00:55:40,800
fourth fall, which was a Javan Evans against Russev. Now

965
00:55:40,800 --> 00:55:43,360
remember last week they kept Russev looking very strong. He

966
00:55:43,400 --> 00:55:46,440
actually won a match, and then he was putting everybody

967
00:55:46,480 --> 00:55:48,440
into the accolade and it's like, of course, they're setting

968
00:55:48,519 --> 00:55:52,000
him up to be like the final boss of the Gauntlet,

969
00:55:52,599 --> 00:55:56,000
which actually technically he wasn't the final boss. Ethan Page

970
00:55:56,039 --> 00:55:59,920
was the final the final one. But Russev's music hits

971
00:56:00,360 --> 00:56:02,679
dragon Ly is still out there right. He's shaking hands

972
00:56:02,679 --> 00:56:05,840
with Javon and he's kind of taken forever to leave

973
00:56:05,880 --> 00:56:08,599
the ring. It's got his back turned now. And then

974
00:56:08,599 --> 00:56:12,719
we found out why because Russev ambushed, you know, ambushed

975
00:56:12,800 --> 00:56:17,039
Evans from behind, knocked him into Dragonly, and so Dragonly

976
00:56:17,159 --> 00:56:21,360
got knocked out of the ring. So Russev he just dominated.

977
00:56:21,679 --> 00:56:24,400
During the commercial break here, Evan sent Russev to the

978
00:56:24,400 --> 00:56:27,920
floor though he landed a dive out onto him. Then

979
00:56:27,960 --> 00:56:31,239
he dove into off the top rope. He jumped, landed

980
00:56:31,360 --> 00:56:35,519
right into a urinagi. He got planted. Russev then got

981
00:56:35,559 --> 00:56:39,559
the accolade applied. Evans though he's fighting it. He's fighting it,

982
00:56:39,599 --> 00:56:42,039
and he's struggling. He's trying to crawl over to the ropes,

983
00:56:42,039 --> 00:56:43,800
and the fans are with him. Man, the fans are

984
00:56:43,800 --> 00:56:45,679
trying to cheer him on, and they're trying to get him,

985
00:56:45,719 --> 00:56:47,159
you know, go ahead, get out of it, Get out

986
00:56:47,159 --> 00:56:50,880
of it. So he's struggling to make the ropes and

987
00:56:51,599 --> 00:56:53,960
he does, but then Russev locks in the accolade for

988
00:56:54,000 --> 00:56:57,440
a second time, and it looks like okay, he's gonna

989
00:56:57,440 --> 00:57:00,480
go out, but he doesn't go out. He starts twitching

990
00:57:00,519 --> 00:57:03,000
and flailing and fighting in the crowd is really getting

991
00:57:03,079 --> 00:57:04,480
up for it because they want to see him break

992
00:57:04,480 --> 00:57:06,719
out of his hold. And he's slowly getting to his

993
00:57:06,760 --> 00:57:08,880
feet with Brucev on his back, and now the fans

994
00:57:08,880 --> 00:57:12,800
are really into it. And then Javon falls backwards and

995
00:57:13,239 --> 00:57:17,559
breaks the hold. So this was just a great struggle

996
00:57:17,599 --> 00:57:19,840
here that he was putting up and there was a

997
00:57:19,840 --> 00:57:21,679
moment in here where I just thought for sure, okay,

998
00:57:21,719 --> 00:57:24,920
the match is ending right here, and it didn't, and

999
00:57:25,000 --> 00:57:27,760
he fought out of it again and again. They just

1000
00:57:28,039 --> 00:57:30,119
the way they worked this, I thought was very smart

1001
00:57:30,440 --> 00:57:32,159
and it was a great way the fans were fully

1002
00:57:32,480 --> 00:57:36,800
invested in behind javan here. Evans went for the og cutter,

1003
00:57:36,840 --> 00:57:39,480
but you could see he's on rubber legs, like he

1004
00:57:39,519 --> 00:57:42,159
doesn't have a whole lot left. Goes for the og

1005
00:57:42,320 --> 00:57:44,920
cutter Russev as he's coming off the top there. Russev

1006
00:57:45,719 --> 00:57:47,960
kind of late, but he kind of threw a shot,

1007
00:57:48,199 --> 00:57:50,000
caught him with it. He tagged him with a punch

1008
00:57:50,039 --> 00:57:53,079
on the way down. He got the accolade applied for

1009
00:57:53,119 --> 00:57:56,440
a third time, and this time there was no get out.

1010
00:57:56,920 --> 00:58:00,840
He tried Rusev at one point he kind of put

1011
00:58:00,840 --> 00:58:04,519
his arms crossed, both of his arms right over Javon's face.

1012
00:58:04,519 --> 00:58:07,719
He couldn't even see his face, He's just wrenching back

1013
00:58:07,760 --> 00:58:10,320
on it. And then the referee finally calls for the stoppage,

1014
00:58:10,599 --> 00:58:16,000
and the fans sounded genuinely surprised and disappointed and started

1015
00:58:16,039 --> 00:58:18,760
booing Russev. So that was the end of Javon Evans.

1016
00:58:19,039 --> 00:58:22,039
If there was any doubt up to this point about

1017
00:58:22,039 --> 00:58:25,000
what WWE was going to do as far as the

1018
00:58:25,039 --> 00:58:27,760
outcome of this gauntlet, because the only other thing that

1019
00:58:27,840 --> 00:58:30,920
could have happened here would have been a Javon Evans win.

1020
00:58:31,400 --> 00:58:35,599
Once Javon Evans was eliminated, I breathe a sigh of relief.

1021
00:58:35,679 --> 00:58:37,519
I said, there's no way they can fuck this up.

1022
00:58:38,159 --> 00:58:41,480
There's no way, no. Now, there might have been some

1023
00:58:41,480 --> 00:58:43,880
people out there actually thinking that Ethan Page was gonna

1024
00:58:43,880 --> 00:58:45,639
win this in the end, but I was not one

1025
00:58:45,679 --> 00:58:48,599
of those people. So at this point I'm like, Okay,

1026
00:58:49,760 --> 00:58:52,000
they made the right decision. Well it's not over yet,

1027
00:58:52,559 --> 00:58:54,760
but they made the right decision. But we had Russev

1028
00:58:54,800 --> 00:58:58,639
against Chad Gable and here he cuts speak of bad music.

1029
00:58:58,920 --> 00:59:01,719
Here he comes, he comes down to the ring German

1030
00:59:01,840 --> 00:59:05,599
sup plexes. There was an overhead throw Gable came off

1031
00:59:05,599 --> 00:59:09,079
the top. Russev, though, caught him with a yuranagi. That's

1032
00:59:09,079 --> 00:59:10,719
as good a time as any for them to go

1033
00:59:10,719 --> 00:59:12,960
to another commercial. But you know that you expect that

1034
00:59:13,280 --> 00:59:15,559
with these Gauntlet matches because they go for so long.

1035
00:59:16,400 --> 00:59:19,840
Russev went for a superplex. Gable fought out of it.

1036
00:59:20,079 --> 00:59:23,280
He flew off the top the big flying clothesline and

1037
00:59:23,360 --> 00:59:26,360
he was trying for an angle slam, and Russev got

1038
00:59:26,360 --> 00:59:29,280
out of it. He locked in the accolade. Gable fought

1039
00:59:29,320 --> 00:59:34,639
out of it. Suit plex Russev German style backwards into

1040
00:59:34,639 --> 00:59:38,679
the top turn buckle, and then Gable climbed the ropes,

1041
00:59:39,400 --> 00:59:42,000
caught Russev with a victory roll and he got the pin.

1042
00:59:42,119 --> 00:59:44,760
A little Brenton Bambam action from the King of the

1043
00:59:44,840 --> 00:59:48,519
Ring Finals in ninety three. I like it. I like it.

1044
00:59:50,400 --> 00:59:53,360
Russev didn't like it, so he attacked Gable even though

1045
00:59:53,400 --> 00:59:56,679
he lost, put him in the accolade. Meanwhile, Ethan Page

1046
00:59:56,800 --> 00:59:58,639
is making his way down to the ring because he

1047
00:59:58,760 --> 01:00:03,000
is the next and last in the Gauntlet, and here

1048
01:00:03,079 --> 01:00:06,760
his boy Russev is softening him up. He's making his

1049
01:00:06,880 --> 01:00:12,000
job easy. So Page had the advantage early on here

1050
01:00:12,320 --> 01:00:14,000
and it looked like he was gonna it's gonna be

1051
01:00:14,000 --> 01:00:17,119
a layup for him. Of course, though Gable made a comeback.

1052
01:00:17,159 --> 01:00:20,000
He escaped an ego plex, he hit an angle slam

1053
01:00:20,800 --> 01:00:23,679
for a near fall. Gable went to the top. Page

1054
01:00:23,719 --> 01:00:25,800
caught him though, and he was trying for an avalanche

1055
01:00:25,840 --> 01:00:29,880
power slam. Gable slipped out. He got the ankle lock applied.

1056
01:00:30,239 --> 01:00:32,639
Page tried to escape Gable, though he held on like

1057
01:00:32,639 --> 01:00:36,880
a bulldog man. He rolled through and eventually Paige had

1058
01:00:36,880 --> 01:00:39,599
no choice but to tap out to the ankle lock

1059
01:00:40,039 --> 01:00:42,800
and it got a good reaction to Gable winds. People

1060
01:00:42,800 --> 01:00:45,440
are happy, this is great. I was a little worried

1061
01:00:45,440 --> 01:00:48,639
there because they were so into Javon. I was like, man,

1062
01:00:48,639 --> 01:00:51,119
I hope they don't rebel against everybody else in this match.

1063
01:00:51,920 --> 01:00:53,880
But they were with Gable. They were very happy to

1064
01:00:53,880 --> 01:00:57,800
see him win. And Pente came out afterwards. They had

1065
01:00:57,800 --> 01:01:00,559
a brief stare down and they shook hands when it

1066
01:01:00,599 --> 01:01:02,880
was over to make it official for SummerSlam and Chad

1067
01:01:02,920 --> 01:01:06,599
Gable will now go to his hometown of Minneapolis and

1068
01:01:06,639 --> 01:01:10,039
his home state of Minnesota to challenge for what may

1069
01:01:10,079 --> 01:01:14,519
well be his first singles championship in WWE, and if

1070
01:01:14,559 --> 01:01:17,679
they know what they're doing. I love Penta, but man,

1071
01:01:17,719 --> 01:01:20,880
there will never be a better time to put that

1072
01:01:21,000 --> 01:01:26,039
championship on Gable than now. And I probably said that

1073
01:01:26,159 --> 01:01:29,119
years ago when he wrestled Gunther for the championship, when

1074
01:01:29,159 --> 01:01:32,199
his little girl was in the front row. But here

1075
01:01:32,239 --> 01:01:36,719
we are, years later, years later. There will never be

1076
01:01:36,760 --> 01:01:39,599
a better time to put the IC title on him. Now.

1077
01:01:40,639 --> 01:01:43,599
Don't make the same mistake you made with Seamus. They

1078
01:01:43,639 --> 01:01:46,159
waited and they waited and they waited, and now he's

1079
01:01:46,159 --> 01:01:48,400
not even in the company anymore, and he will never

1080
01:01:48,480 --> 01:01:52,000
win that championship. You're in his hometown. This man is

1081
01:01:52,039 --> 01:01:55,480
coming off arguably the best match of the entire year

1082
01:01:56,199 --> 01:02:01,920
in Tripa A certainly one of them. So I said,

1083
01:02:02,000 --> 01:02:04,400
coming in, there's only one job as far as I'm concerned.

1084
01:02:04,440 --> 01:02:08,039
You got one job at Summerslim. I love Penta, but

1085
01:02:08,079 --> 01:02:11,079
you got one job at Summer Slim. Don't fuck this up.

1086
01:02:13,280 --> 01:02:15,679
Most important thing here. Though they got the outcome right,

1087
01:02:15,760 --> 01:02:18,280
I might have had Gable enter the Gauntlet, maybe a

1088
01:02:18,320 --> 01:02:21,280
match earlier, but I get it. You know they wanted

1089
01:02:21,280 --> 01:02:23,280
to give Javon the rub. He wasn't going to win.

1090
01:02:23,719 --> 01:02:25,440
So let's use the gauntlet as a way to try

1091
01:02:25,440 --> 01:02:27,280
to elevate him a little bit. We'll let him go

1092
01:02:27,360 --> 01:02:30,639
out there and survive for a while. I don't have

1093
01:02:30,639 --> 01:02:32,920
any issue with that. The most important thing is that

1094
01:02:33,039 --> 01:02:37,239
the right man. One after this, we had an suv

1095
01:02:37,280 --> 01:02:41,920
pull up backstage and outcomes Roman reigns. Isn't it amazing

1096
01:02:42,440 --> 01:02:44,679
how he manages to show up at just the right

1097
01:02:44,719 --> 01:02:47,920
time at the end of the show. What if he

1098
01:02:48,000 --> 01:02:51,519
hits traffic on the way from his hotel to the building?

1099
01:02:51,800 --> 01:02:54,400
What happens? Then? It's a good thing they weren't in La.

1100
01:02:55,360 --> 01:02:58,840
You know, I've been to La a couple times. I've

1101
01:02:58,920 --> 01:03:03,760
never had the displeasure of driving in La. I've heard

1102
01:03:03,800 --> 01:03:07,199
horror stories, though, you know, about people who want to

1103
01:03:07,239 --> 01:03:09,960
go out to the restaurant, and the restaurant is I

1104
01:03:10,000 --> 01:03:14,400
don't know, typically maybe five or six minutes down the

1105
01:03:14,480 --> 01:03:17,360
road from where they are. They get in the car.

1106
01:03:18,920 --> 01:03:23,039
Thirty five minutes later they arrive. I guess they didn't

1107
01:03:23,039 --> 01:03:25,639
have that issue in Dallas, Texas. Tonight gets out of

1108
01:03:25,639 --> 01:03:31,679
the suv and he puts his hand out and here

1109
01:03:31,760 --> 01:03:37,800
comes Lard, his friend. Lard has the championship and hands

1110
01:03:37,840 --> 01:03:40,719
the World heavyweight title to Roman so that he can

1111
01:03:40,760 --> 01:03:43,199
make his way into the Now. Is it Lard or

1112
01:03:43,239 --> 01:03:46,440
is it Lord? Maybe it's Lord. We had this debate

1113
01:03:46,559 --> 01:03:51,079
last time. I think I called him Lord Mark. That

1114
01:03:51,159 --> 01:03:53,440
might have been what Roman called Lord Mark. Is what

1115
01:03:53,519 --> 01:03:54,840
I said. I was going to call this guy, so

1116
01:03:54,880 --> 01:03:57,639
we'll call him Lord Mark. He was back and he

1117
01:03:57,719 --> 01:04:01,599
handed Roman his championship. Meanwhile, Adam Pierce was in the

1118
01:04:01,679 --> 01:04:05,480
ring to introduce Roman out to the ring first, and

1119
01:04:05,519 --> 01:04:11,119
he asked Dallas, Texas to acknowledge him. Seth Rollins was

1120
01:04:11,159 --> 01:04:14,079
out next to burn it down. As Roman took his

1121
01:04:14,159 --> 01:04:15,960
seat at the head of the table in the ring,

1122
01:04:16,719 --> 01:04:19,400
Seth took a seat right next to him. This would

1123
01:04:19,400 --> 01:04:21,079
be like the equivalents of like if you go into

1124
01:04:21,079 --> 01:04:24,199
the bathroom of the men's room somewhere, you got a

1125
01:04:24,239 --> 01:04:26,599
whole row Sorry, ladies, you might not be able to

1126
01:04:26,599 --> 01:04:30,239
relate to this, but you've got a whole row of urinals, right,

1127
01:04:30,719 --> 01:04:35,639
and they're pretty much all open, and you go to

1128
01:04:35,679 --> 01:04:38,320
the far end. You're gonna use the urinal all the

1129
01:04:38,320 --> 01:04:40,599
way at the far end. And then some other guy

1130
01:04:40,639 --> 01:04:43,000
walks into the bathroom and he decides, you know what,

1131
01:04:43,079 --> 01:04:45,480
I'm gonna do. I'm gonna take the urinal right next

1132
01:04:45,519 --> 01:04:50,000
to you. What the fuck are you doing? You have

1133
01:04:50,119 --> 01:04:53,199
all of this space, Why are you standing next to me?

1134
01:04:54,159 --> 01:04:55,840
Roman is sitting at the head of the table here

1135
01:04:55,840 --> 01:04:58,199
and Rollins takes a seat as close to him as

1136
01:04:58,239 --> 01:05:00,840
he possibly caseled, getting all up at his personal space.

1137
01:05:01,760 --> 01:05:04,840
What are you doing here? And he immediately signs the contract.

1138
01:05:04,920 --> 01:05:08,159
He's not wasting any time here. So he gets on

1139
01:05:08,199 --> 01:05:11,199
the mic says he knows that this has to be

1140
01:05:11,280 --> 01:05:14,239
tough for Roman, but look, there are just some things

1141
01:05:14,239 --> 01:05:19,599
in life that are certain death taxes and seth. Rollins

1142
01:05:19,679 --> 01:05:29,440
beats Roman reigns every single time. Cruising cruising, Yeah, probably Yeah,

1143
01:05:29,639 --> 01:05:31,519
if you're in the bathroom and somebody does that, they

1144
01:05:31,719 --> 01:05:34,559
are probably crude. They're cruising for a bruising, is what

1145
01:05:34,599 --> 01:05:42,639
they're doing. You need to back up. You need to

1146
01:05:42,639 --> 01:05:49,840
not invade my personal space. You get splashed on. So

1147
01:05:49,880 --> 01:05:51,719
he goes sign on the dotted line and let's get

1148
01:05:51,719 --> 01:05:54,360
this over with, which is which is my saying when

1149
01:05:54,360 --> 01:05:56,239
it comes to these contracts signing, He's just sign the

1150
01:05:56,280 --> 01:05:59,679
contract and get this over with, because there's no sense

1151
01:05:59,719 --> 01:06:03,679
in delight saying the inevitable Seth kicked his feet up

1152
01:06:03,679 --> 01:06:07,039
on the table like he owned the place, band sang

1153
01:06:07,079 --> 01:06:10,199
his song. Roman said he wishes Seth would have come

1154
01:06:10,239 --> 01:06:12,679
out and did that last week before he bored the

1155
01:06:12,719 --> 01:06:17,280
crowd half to death. I said, that's a shoot, that's

1156
01:06:17,280 --> 01:06:19,599
a shoot. See Roman didn't come to work last week,

1157
01:06:19,639 --> 01:06:22,199
but he was clearly watching the show and he felt

1158
01:06:22,199 --> 01:06:25,079
the same way that I felt, which is that promo

1159
01:06:25,199 --> 01:06:30,199
last week from Seth Rollins was a fail. It was boring.

1160
01:06:31,440 --> 01:06:33,199
And now you don't have to take my word for it.

1161
01:06:33,280 --> 01:06:34,960
You could take it from the champion. He said the

1162
01:06:34,960 --> 01:06:40,039
same thing. But he says, Seth Wright Rollins is his

1163
01:06:40,159 --> 01:06:42,480
number one hater, but that's the only thing that he

1164
01:06:42,559 --> 01:06:46,480
is number one at. He somehow has these people confused,

1165
01:06:46,480 --> 01:06:49,320
thinking that they're on the same level. So at Summerslim,

1166
01:06:49,400 --> 01:06:51,519
he shows the difference between the two of them. He

1167
01:06:51,719 --> 01:06:55,239
ends any of this nonsense about Seth ever competing with him.

1168
01:06:55,920 --> 01:06:58,480
He shows him what number one looks like and with

1169
01:06:58,559 --> 01:07:04,360
that and went and he signed the contract. So Seth

1170
01:07:04,400 --> 01:07:08,400
thanked him for keeping his title warm since WrestleMania, says

1171
01:07:08,440 --> 01:07:11,280
he'll be taking it from him at Summerslim and he'll

1172
01:07:11,280 --> 01:07:14,039
see him next time. That Roman wants to show up

1173
01:07:14,039 --> 01:07:17,960
for work, and with that, Seth exited the ring and

1174
01:07:18,079 --> 01:07:21,400
he began to make his trek to the back. Roman

1175
01:07:21,440 --> 01:07:24,880
didn't look too thrilled with that comment. As Seth is leaving,

1176
01:07:24,960 --> 01:07:28,239
he says, where do you think you're going? So that's it,

1177
01:07:29,119 --> 01:07:32,519
You're just gonna sign and run. Okay, how about we

1178
01:07:32,519 --> 01:07:36,880
play your game. What if you do win? Then what

1179
01:07:36,880 --> 01:07:40,480
what happens next? Well, you're gonna carry it for a

1180
01:07:40,480 --> 01:07:43,760
couple of months and get hurt again. I mean, don't

1181
01:07:43,800 --> 01:07:48,199
act shocked. That's what happens every single time. Some would

1182
01:07:48,199 --> 01:07:51,760
say that it's self sabotage because some people just can't

1183
01:07:51,800 --> 01:07:55,199
handle the weight and the burden and the pressure of

1184
01:07:55,239 --> 01:07:59,800
being the top guy around here. So Seth turns around.

1185
01:08:00,079 --> 01:08:03,559
He begins to walk back towards the ring, comes face

1186
01:08:03,599 --> 01:08:05,880
to face, almost nose to nose with Roman in the

1187
01:08:05,920 --> 01:08:08,320
middle of the ring, and Roman is smiling and saith

1188
01:08:08,840 --> 01:08:12,480
not so much. Rollin says, you got something to say,

1189
01:08:12,599 --> 01:08:16,560
just say it, So come on, spit it out, say it.

1190
01:08:16,760 --> 01:08:20,439
I'm right here, I'm not going anywhere. Roman says, He'll

1191
01:08:20,479 --> 01:08:23,880
say it because everybody's thinking it. He said, you want

1192
01:08:23,880 --> 01:08:28,239
to know how I know that you're number two because

1193
01:08:28,279 --> 01:08:30,840
after all these years, you still need a money in

1194
01:08:30,880 --> 01:08:36,920
the bank briefcase to become champion. And if you thought

1195
01:08:36,920 --> 01:08:39,359
that that was bad enough, you had to fake an

1196
01:08:39,399 --> 01:08:43,640
injury to even use the damn thing. Because let's just

1197
01:08:43,680 --> 01:08:45,840
be honest here, if there was ever a time for

1198
01:08:45,920 --> 01:08:48,560
this guy to be a number one, I mean, come on,

1199
01:08:48,640 --> 01:08:52,680
your your work, daddy, Triple A damn near runs this joint.

1200
01:08:54,039 --> 01:08:57,560
They pretty much gave you all my stuff and you

1201
01:08:57,680 --> 01:09:02,600
still couldn't walk in my shoes. No Number two said,

1202
01:09:02,760 --> 01:09:05,479
your number two always going to be a number two.

1203
01:09:05,760 --> 01:09:08,359
I'm number one, always going to be a number one.

1204
01:09:09,279 --> 01:09:14,840
Just acknowledge it, bitch, bro I will say Roman, Roman was,

1205
01:09:15,119 --> 01:09:19,119
he was on a role here, Roman was, he was

1206
01:09:20,079 --> 01:09:22,359
he was cooking this guy here, Rollins asked him, is

1207
01:09:22,359 --> 01:09:25,279
that all you got? Said, that's all you can come

1208
01:09:25,399 --> 01:09:27,239
up with. He goes, Come on, Roman, tell me how

1209
01:09:27,279 --> 01:09:30,239
I'm never going to be you tell me how I'm

1210
01:09:30,279 --> 01:09:33,239
never going to draw as much money as you tell me.

1211
01:09:33,279 --> 01:09:35,439
I'm never going to make an event as many WrestleManias

1212
01:09:35,479 --> 01:09:39,000
as you Anything you can tell me, I've told myself

1213
01:09:39,079 --> 01:09:42,159
every single day for the past fifteen years, but you

1214
01:09:42,279 --> 01:09:45,319
and me, we're not fighting the same fight. But he

1215
01:09:45,399 --> 01:09:47,279
had to look in the mirror and be proud of

1216
01:09:47,279 --> 01:09:52,039
what he fights for. He being sad because and then see,

1217
01:09:52,119 --> 01:09:56,840
up until this point, everything was going really well. And

1218
01:09:56,880 --> 01:10:03,039
then he goes because I'm a I'm a revolutionary, and

1219
01:10:03,079 --> 01:10:07,319
I'm like, okay, now you lost me. I every time

1220
01:10:07,359 --> 01:10:12,640
he goes into this visionary revolutionary spiel, he loses me

1221
01:10:13,119 --> 01:10:16,600
because now he's going into stick. Up until this point,

1222
01:10:16,600 --> 01:10:19,319
you had a good back and forth, and they're trading barbs,

1223
01:10:19,319 --> 01:10:22,560
and he's kind of weaving in like maybe real life

1224
01:10:22,560 --> 01:10:24,840
feelings or feelings that you could believe that you know,

1225
01:10:24,960 --> 01:10:28,079
he might be really feeling, and so it's like, Okay,

1226
01:10:28,119 --> 01:10:30,239
this is going well. And then as soon as he

1227
01:10:30,319 --> 01:10:34,159
hit that, I'm like, all right, that's I'm out enough

1228
01:10:34,199 --> 01:10:37,039
with the visionary of the revolutionary stuff. I've always said this, like,

1229
01:10:37,079 --> 01:10:39,880
what is so visionary and revolutionary about anything that Seth

1230
01:10:39,960 --> 01:10:44,760
Rollins has done in WWE Nothing? His wardrobe, that's about it.

1231
01:10:46,119 --> 01:10:48,319
I don't even know what that's supposed to mean. What

1232
01:10:48,479 --> 01:10:51,720
makes him so revolutionary? Where did this come from? When

1233
01:10:51,760 --> 01:10:56,119
did this start? I don't know, but I wish he

1234
01:10:56,119 --> 01:10:57,840
wouldn't have said it here in this prom because now

1235
01:10:57,840 --> 01:11:02,439
it just became any other wrestling promo. But he did

1236
01:11:02,439 --> 01:11:06,119
say he's very glad that he's not Roman raids. Rollins

1237
01:11:06,760 --> 01:11:10,399
tagged him with a right hand shot, and he cheap

1238
01:11:10,439 --> 01:11:13,079
shot at him, basically, and now Roman is down. He's

1239
01:11:13,079 --> 01:11:14,920
putting the boots to Roman here in the middle of

1240
01:11:14,960 --> 01:11:22,279
the ring. Chris says, I think of you, solo when

1241
01:11:22,279 --> 01:11:31,600
Seth does that every fucking time, dude, every single time. Ah. Yes,

1242
01:11:31,760 --> 01:11:47,640
the architect, he's an architect, he's a revolutionary architect. But yes,

1243
01:11:47,680 --> 01:11:50,640
he cheap shots Roman raigns, and now he's putting the

1244
01:11:50,640 --> 01:11:53,920
boots to him. Not really getting much of a reaction either,

1245
01:11:54,319 --> 01:11:57,000
because people, you know, they like Seth, but they like

1246
01:11:57,079 --> 01:12:00,000
Roman more. Let's just be honest here, and I think

1247
01:12:00,079 --> 01:12:02,520
if you give them the opportunity and you say, you

1248
01:12:02,560 --> 01:12:05,199
can only really cheer for one negative, cheer for Roman

1249
01:12:05,520 --> 01:12:08,239
over Seth. Even the Roman's a total heel every time

1250
01:12:08,279 --> 01:12:11,880
he's out there, they weren't really reacting much to it.

1251
01:12:11,960 --> 01:12:14,560
He mounts him, he starts raining blows. Now where's your

1252
01:12:14,560 --> 01:12:16,880
blood line? Now? He says, I know who I am,

1253
01:12:16,960 --> 01:12:20,960
you piece of shit? I know who I am. Hey,

1254
01:12:20,960 --> 01:12:23,920
maybe Netflix will edit that out the way they edited

1255
01:12:23,920 --> 01:12:26,680
out the Cody Rhodes blood from the beginning of Did

1256
01:12:26,720 --> 01:12:29,319
you hear about this? So I mentioned that story that

1257
01:12:30,079 --> 01:12:33,319
on the replay of the Night of Champions pl E

1258
01:12:33,840 --> 01:12:36,000
they had the cage match with Seth Rollins and Bron

1259
01:12:36,039 --> 01:12:39,439
Breaker and Bron got busted open right in the course

1260
01:12:39,439 --> 01:12:41,840
of that match, hard way, and it was great because

1261
01:12:41,840 --> 01:12:45,279
it added to the match, and like half his face

1262
01:12:45,399 --> 01:12:47,640
was kind of covered in blood. It wasn't anything overly

1263
01:12:48,159 --> 01:12:52,000
egregious or anything, but it was a good visual And

1264
01:12:52,079 --> 01:12:55,600
so then and again it airs on Netflix internationally. I

1265
01:12:55,600 --> 01:12:58,239
don't believe they made any edits on the ESPN version.

1266
01:12:59,159 --> 01:13:01,439
People started to talk talking about how on the Netflix

1267
01:13:01,560 --> 01:13:05,560
version though, after the fact, they put a giant blur

1268
01:13:06,239 --> 01:13:09,039
over Bron's face because they wanted to cover up all

1269
01:13:09,079 --> 01:13:11,960
the blood, and I guess they felt like they didn't

1270
01:13:11,960 --> 01:13:15,319
have a really like good enough way of just editing

1271
01:13:15,399 --> 01:13:17,720
part of his face, so they put a fucking blur.

1272
01:13:18,119 --> 01:13:20,760
He looked like he looked like an entity, like a

1273
01:13:20,800 --> 01:13:23,560
demon of some kind, and this is how they And

1274
01:13:23,600 --> 01:13:25,560
so if you watched the last half of that match,

1275
01:13:26,079 --> 01:13:30,199
it's literally a blur and it's just the most preposterous thing.

1276
01:13:31,039 --> 01:13:33,119
So then I saw earlier today. If you remember, at

1277
01:13:33,119 --> 01:13:35,239
the beginning of Raw last week, gun Through Attack, Cody

1278
01:13:35,319 --> 01:13:39,319
roads backstage and he slammed a car door on his head,

1279
01:13:39,840 --> 01:13:41,880
and then Cody comes up bleeding, and again it's like

1280
01:13:41,920 --> 01:13:45,199
trickles of blood from you know, the top of his

1281
01:13:45,239 --> 01:13:50,640
head or whatever. Apparently now on the Netflix version, which

1282
01:13:50,680 --> 01:13:52,720
I mean Raw airs on Netflix. Of course it would

1283
01:13:52,720 --> 01:13:55,439
be on Netflix. But if you go back, and I

1284
01:13:55,479 --> 01:13:57,159
have not gone back and looked yet, I just read

1285
01:13:57,199 --> 01:14:02,039
this before, there's some sort of glitch effect to hide

1286
01:14:02,039 --> 01:14:05,359
the fact that Cody was bleeding. What in the world

1287
01:14:05,439 --> 01:14:09,279
is going on here? What is going on with Netflix?

1288
01:14:09,800 --> 01:14:15,039
This is awful, This is so ridiculous. What are these

1289
01:14:15,640 --> 01:14:17,680
I have to imagine if I had a venture A guess,

1290
01:14:18,880 --> 01:14:22,880
I have to guess that there's some sort of and

1291
01:14:22,920 --> 01:14:25,760
this is just me spitballing here. I could be completely

1292
01:14:25,800 --> 01:14:27,920
wrong because I'm just trying to figure out what the

1293
01:14:27,920 --> 01:14:32,640
hell's going on here that in certain countries or markets

1294
01:14:33,319 --> 01:14:36,279
that sort of thing has to be censored, and so

1295
01:14:36,359 --> 01:14:38,920
therefore it has to ends up being censored for everybody.

1296
01:14:38,920 --> 01:14:40,960
But again, that doesn't make a lot of sense to me,

1297
01:14:41,079 --> 01:14:45,760
because does raw even get a rating anymore? What would

1298
01:14:45,760 --> 01:14:47,760
this show be rated as compared to some of the

1299
01:14:47,760 --> 01:14:51,560
other content on Netflix that shows far worse than just

1300
01:14:51,640 --> 01:14:54,039
trickles of blood on someone's face. I would love to

1301
01:14:54,079 --> 01:14:59,000
know the rules that govern censorship, what gets censored and

1302
01:14:59,039 --> 01:15:01,319
what doesn't on netfl flicks because none of this makes

1303
01:15:01,359 --> 01:15:06,039
any sense to me. But yes, now, now you have

1304
01:15:06,840 --> 01:15:09,920
glitched out Cody Rhodes, you have blurred out Bronze Breaker.

1305
01:15:10,000 --> 01:15:20,159
What's next? Who's going to be erased next? See? Now

1306
01:15:20,199 --> 01:15:23,279
you would if this was airing on television and you

1307
01:15:23,319 --> 01:15:26,520
had your VCR and you popped your VHS tape in

1308
01:15:26,600 --> 01:15:29,680
and you push record, you would have that physical media

1309
01:15:29,720 --> 01:15:32,439
that nobody could ever censor. You would have the original

1310
01:15:32,520 --> 01:15:35,000
OG copy of it that nobody could ever take away

1311
01:15:35,000 --> 01:15:37,840
from you. See. I have a theory here because what's

1312
01:15:37,880 --> 01:15:42,479
old usually becomes new again, And like collecting vinyl records

1313
01:15:43,119 --> 01:15:46,079
has become like a big thing. Apparently vinyls are like

1314
01:15:46,119 --> 01:15:51,479
back in style. You watch VCRs and VHS. Technology is

1315
01:15:51,479 --> 01:15:54,319
going to make a comeback one day. I'm not saying

1316
01:15:54,319 --> 01:15:58,960
on like a massive mainstream scale, but it's pendulum's gonna

1317
01:15:58,960 --> 01:16:00,920
swing back, and there's gonna be tons of people who

1318
01:16:01,000 --> 01:16:03,800
are gonna want to have like VCRs and vhs. Right,

1319
01:16:04,760 --> 01:16:07,560
what's old is new again. It always comes back around.

1320
01:16:08,159 --> 01:16:10,960
Especially as you take more physical media away from people,

1321
01:16:11,000 --> 01:16:13,159
they're going to gravitate. I feel like towards some of

1322
01:16:13,199 --> 01:16:17,720
these older technologies, I threw away a lot of them,

1323
01:16:17,720 --> 01:16:19,600
but I still have a lot of my VHSS, and

1324
01:16:19,640 --> 01:16:21,600
I at the moment, I don't really have anything to

1325
01:16:21,640 --> 01:16:23,000
play it on. I actually do have one. I have

1326
01:16:23,000 --> 01:16:26,680
one VCR somewhere. But even if I never watch those

1327
01:16:26,680 --> 01:16:29,840
tapes again, like some of these paper views, like they're

1328
01:16:29,840 --> 01:16:31,960
so valuable, like I would never I would never give

1329
01:16:32,000 --> 01:16:35,880
them away because you just never know. It's because of

1330
01:16:35,920 --> 01:16:40,640
shit like this. Anyway, Off my soapbox here. Back to this.

1331
01:16:40,720 --> 01:16:43,720
So he's yelling at Roman. He's cursing up a storm.

1332
01:16:43,840 --> 01:16:48,479
Finally the fans are kind of singing his song. He

1333
01:16:48,560 --> 01:16:51,119
goes to leave, but he notices Roman is on his knees,

1334
01:16:52,039 --> 01:16:54,520
so he comes in for the stomp instead. Though when

1335
01:16:54,560 --> 01:16:58,319
he comes in, he eats a superman punch. Roman then

1336
01:16:58,359 --> 01:17:00,920
moves the table over. He gets Rollin's up in a

1337
01:17:00,960 --> 01:17:03,399
power bomb position, but Rollins has the mic in his

1338
01:17:03,439 --> 01:17:05,640
hand and he bashes Roman in the head of the mic,

1339
01:17:06,199 --> 01:17:10,880
so Roman drops him. Seth delivers a pedigree. Now he's

1340
01:17:10,920 --> 01:17:13,399
waiting for it. He's waiting for Roman to get back

1341
01:17:13,399 --> 01:17:15,520
on all fours, and then when he does, he flies

1342
01:17:15,560 --> 01:17:19,880
in for the stomp and Seth Rolins stands tall to

1343
01:17:19,920 --> 01:17:22,239
close out the show. I thought this was a great segment,

1344
01:17:22,520 --> 01:17:25,079
and as I said before, it's almost it's almost like

1345
01:17:25,159 --> 01:17:27,760
these things work better when you have somebody to play

1346
01:17:27,760 --> 01:17:30,960
off of and you're not just talking to a blank slate.

1347
01:17:32,319 --> 01:17:35,520
That promo last week was terrible. This segment here, this

1348
01:17:35,600 --> 01:17:38,960
contract signing was great, was great, and it's going to

1349
01:17:39,000 --> 01:17:41,000
get a lot of people, I think that much more

1350
01:17:41,000 --> 01:17:44,119
interested in seeing Seth Rollins against Roman Reigns at Summer Slim,

1351
01:17:44,119 --> 01:17:45,840
which should be the point when you do a segment

1352
01:17:45,920 --> 01:17:48,960
like this. You want to get people excited, right, You

1353
01:17:49,039 --> 01:17:51,439
want to get people to think, man, I can't wait

1354
01:17:51,439 --> 01:17:54,760
to see these two guys just go at it. You

1355
01:17:54,800 --> 01:17:57,079
don't want to scare them off and be like, man,

1356
01:17:57,119 --> 01:18:00,119
this was terrible. I have no interest in seeing this

1357
01:18:00,279 --> 01:18:03,079
match now. So mission accomplished. You know, they did what

1358
01:18:03,119 --> 01:18:04,640
they had to do here with this. They got some

1359
01:18:04,640 --> 01:18:07,880
stiff shots in there, or Roman did. Anyway. I think

1360
01:18:07,920 --> 01:18:11,000
that money in the bank crack was that was a

1361
01:18:11,079 --> 01:18:14,800
nice little low blow there. It was a little weird

1362
01:18:14,800 --> 01:18:19,319
that Jimmy and Jacob didn't come out. I think Seth again,

1363
01:18:19,359 --> 01:18:21,479
he even mentioned to Roman when he was beating him down,

1364
01:18:21,520 --> 01:18:24,520
like where's your bloodline? Now? I asked the same question,

1365
01:18:24,560 --> 01:18:26,039
like where the hell did they go? It's not like

1366
01:18:26,079 --> 01:18:28,560
they got chased out of the building. But you know what,

1367
01:18:28,640 --> 01:18:30,239
they have their own issue going on. They have their

1368
01:18:30,239 --> 01:18:33,479
own match for Summer Slam, so it's fine to leave

1369
01:18:33,520 --> 01:18:35,079
them out of it. They have their own issues to

1370
01:18:35,119 --> 01:18:38,680
deal with. The last hour or forty five minutes maybe

1371
01:18:38,760 --> 01:18:41,920
or so of this show, which was really the gauntlet

1372
01:18:42,000 --> 01:18:45,600
in the contract signing, best part of the show. So

1373
01:18:45,640 --> 01:18:48,119
again like that I say third hour, it's not a

1374
01:18:48,159 --> 01:18:50,640
full third hour. They did go longer than usual though,

1375
01:18:51,039 --> 01:18:53,119
I don't think the show went off the air until

1376
01:18:54,159 --> 01:18:57,479
about a quarter to eleven, so they did almost go

1377
01:18:57,560 --> 01:19:02,520
three hours tonight. First ninety minutes plus not that great,

1378
01:19:03,760 --> 01:19:06,880
not that great at all, very very missible, But the

1379
01:19:06,920 --> 01:19:11,560
closing stretch of the show I thought was very good.

1380
01:19:12,640 --> 01:19:15,159
All right, where are we on the likes? Let's take

1381
01:19:15,159 --> 01:19:17,920
a look here. Three ninety was the goal. We are

1382
01:19:17,960 --> 01:19:22,079
at five three very good, so we got some be

1383
01:19:22,119 --> 01:19:24,840
the booker coming up here in a little bit. Thank

1384
01:19:24,880 --> 01:19:28,119
you guys for being with me here tonight and hanging

1385
01:19:28,199 --> 01:19:34,880
with me. We ain't done yet. We still have the

1386
01:19:34,960 --> 01:19:39,399
Dynamite post show coming up on Wednesday, SmackDown on Friday,

1387
01:19:39,479 --> 01:19:41,720
Saturday Night's Made event coming up on Saturday. I'm going

1388
01:19:41,760 --> 01:19:45,720
to do a whole preview tomorrow on the Uncrowned Wrestling Show.

1389
01:19:49,319 --> 01:19:55,119
We got a lot yet to discuss, but we're going

1390
01:19:55,159 --> 01:20:03,680
to start this discussion with death Syth. This is hey,

1391
01:20:03,720 --> 01:20:07,800
sol a Monster. Got to ask what if Jeff Hardy

1392
01:20:07,920 --> 01:20:11,159
never left WWE in two thousand and nine, because I

1393
01:20:11,199 --> 01:20:13,399
could see him in Batista in a program instead of

1394
01:20:13,399 --> 01:20:21,800
Batista feuding with Ray and the Undertaker. Well, if you remember,

1395
01:20:22,880 --> 01:20:27,239
Jeff got into some trouble right when he left WWE,

1396
01:20:27,279 --> 01:20:30,199
you know nine, So if he didn't leave, he would

1397
01:20:30,199 --> 01:20:33,800
have gotten into trouble regardless. So I don't know, I

1398
01:20:33,800 --> 01:20:35,760
don't know what he would have been doing because that

1399
01:20:35,800 --> 01:20:39,000
would have had an effect on things. Would he have

1400
01:20:39,079 --> 01:20:41,439
worked with Batista if he's going to stick around for

1401
01:20:41,439 --> 01:20:43,399
a few more years, then very likely. Yes, the two

1402
01:20:43,439 --> 01:20:46,359
of them would have worked together, but it doesn't change

1403
01:20:46,399 --> 01:20:48,880
the fact that he got into some legal problems that

1404
01:20:49,199 --> 01:20:56,000
would have happened regardless. We got a death side. Plus,

1405
01:20:56,119 --> 01:20:58,880
it is bizarre that Batista and Jeff never had a

1406
01:20:58,920 --> 01:21:02,960
proper program or singles match. Yeah again, eventually everybody wrestles.

1407
01:21:02,960 --> 01:21:06,359
Everybody who would have stuck around, they would have worked together.

1408
01:21:08,800 --> 01:21:13,680
It is inevitable. Also, he says now that I can

1409
01:21:13,720 --> 01:21:16,199
say that out loud, if Jeff Hardy thought CMPUN gave

1410
01:21:16,239 --> 01:21:18,960
him problems that year, heal Batista would have given him

1411
01:21:18,960 --> 01:21:24,000
a lot worse. Hollywood. Batista against the Jeff Hardy could

1412
01:21:24,039 --> 01:21:30,880
have been fun. Could have been a fun program, Robbie.

1413
01:21:31,319 --> 01:21:33,239
So I guess we have our answer about King of

1414
01:21:33,279 --> 01:21:36,680
the Ring. Oba completely relinquished his title opportunity for this

1415
01:21:36,720 --> 01:21:43,359
because brock quote would have cost him anyway. Dude, it's

1416
01:21:43,680 --> 01:21:47,000
it's so actually made Oba look worse by saying that

1417
01:21:47,720 --> 01:21:50,800
they actually made him look worse. I won King of

1418
01:21:50,840 --> 01:21:54,039
the Ring. I went through the first round, I went

1419
01:21:54,039 --> 01:21:56,720
through the semi final round, I flew all the way

1420
01:21:56,720 --> 01:22:00,840
to Saudi Arabia and won the finals. I earned the

1421
01:22:00,880 --> 01:22:04,279
right to challenge for a championship at SummerSlam, but I

1422
01:22:04,359 --> 01:22:06,560
gave up my shot because I just knew Brock was

1423
01:22:06,600 --> 01:22:11,960
gonna fuck me over. You know what a dweeb that

1424
01:22:12,039 --> 01:22:21,119
makes him sound like. Also, they were trying their best

1425
01:22:21,159 --> 01:22:25,159
to keep Dean Ambrose's face out of those flashbacks. I

1426
01:22:25,319 --> 01:22:27,960
noticed that too. He slipped in there a few times.

1427
01:22:27,960 --> 01:22:32,159
Though they did their best to hide the Ambrose's face

1428
01:22:32,399 --> 01:22:37,840
in those retrospectives. You can't ignore it. He's part of

1429
01:22:37,840 --> 01:22:41,520
that Shield history, whether they like it or not. The

1430
01:22:41,600 --> 01:22:49,680
lunatic Fringe Aaron says Roxanne can't win a match. Yeah,

1431
01:22:49,760 --> 01:22:51,880
that's right, she has that streak going for her too.

1432
01:22:52,880 --> 01:22:56,199
Who's the bigger loser on raw right now? Joe Hendry

1433
01:22:56,319 --> 01:23:02,920
or Roxanne Perez. Did Roxanne get an entrance? I think she? Uh?

1434
01:23:03,159 --> 01:23:05,880
I think she did. If Roxanne, if Roxanne got an

1435
01:23:05,960 --> 01:23:09,560
entrance tonight, then she she's at least better off than

1436
01:23:09,640 --> 01:23:18,760
Joe Hendry is. Uh. We gotta give me backshot Sola Monster, Hey,

1437
01:23:18,760 --> 01:23:21,079
you were that guy in the bathroom. Bron needs to

1438
01:23:21,119 --> 01:23:27,680
shoot fight Triple h Roman and Hayman. He needs to

1439
01:23:27,680 --> 01:23:31,680
go all Steiner on them. You got me wrestling fucking

1440
01:23:31,800 --> 01:23:41,119
Tozawa at SummerSlam. So their grand plan for Broun Breaker.

1441
01:23:43,760 --> 01:23:49,680
Uh dried Chicken So the police protecting brock Lesner says,

1442
01:23:49,760 --> 01:23:57,960
damn triple h It's true. He overprotects his favorites. Hey,

1443
01:23:57,960 --> 01:24:01,920
don't don't call him pop age. That just sounds fucking ridiculous.

1444
01:24:04,239 --> 01:24:06,760
He does. Look, he has favorites, I'm sure, just like

1445
01:24:06,800 --> 01:24:10,800
anybody else does, and he will protect them at all costs.

1446
01:24:10,840 --> 01:24:15,000
Super pony. So thank god they took the layup. So

1447
01:24:15,159 --> 01:24:20,079
happy for Chad. They give him impenta at least fifteen minutes.

1448
01:24:20,159 --> 01:24:22,960
We're looking at a match of the year. Dude, if

1449
01:24:22,960 --> 01:24:26,479
they give them twelve minutes, you don't think those two

1450
01:24:26,479 --> 01:24:28,680
aren't going to go out there with their working shoes

1451
01:24:28,720 --> 01:24:37,479
on that night looking to steal the show, right, Chicken

1452
01:24:37,520 --> 01:24:42,279
says rip Sam Neil, Yes, he passed away today. I

1453
01:24:42,359 --> 01:24:47,600
did see that. Drew Mackincox says, when will title matches

1454
01:24:47,640 --> 01:24:49,239
be added? To be the booker would love to see

1455
01:24:49,279 --> 01:24:51,760
Brett Versus angle for the twenty four to seven title

1456
01:24:52,600 --> 01:24:57,439
in a Punjabi prison match. You may be getting belts

1457
01:24:57,520 --> 01:25:07,720
very soon. You may be getting built very soon. John

1458
01:25:11,960 --> 01:25:14,000
with the ten dollars, super chet. Then we'll get to Nick.

1459
01:25:15,239 --> 01:25:20,640
I jumped onto X to check out the IWC. Always

1460
01:25:20,680 --> 01:25:26,279
a dangerous thing to do, John, and my god, it's insufferable.

1461
01:25:26,520 --> 01:25:29,239
I know the tribalism is bad on all platforms, but

1462
01:25:29,520 --> 01:25:32,600
X is honestly exhausting. Anyways, thank you Solo for all

1463
01:25:32,640 --> 01:25:35,600
you do. I appreciate you. I appreciate you as well.

1464
01:25:37,520 --> 01:25:41,279
Yeahs you compare all the different platforms, x X is

1465
01:25:41,319 --> 01:25:46,880
by far the worst. It's addicting you. People will try

1466
01:25:46,880 --> 01:25:48,760
to pull themselves away from it, and they get sucked

1467
01:25:48,800 --> 01:25:52,880
back into it and they follow certain accounts maybe or

1468
01:25:52,880 --> 01:25:56,560
they have a lot of contacts and trade dms with people.

1469
01:25:56,760 --> 01:25:58,840
There's different reasons for staying on there, but it is

1470
01:25:58,880 --> 01:26:04,039
an absolutely just just a fucking cesspool of garbage on there.

1471
01:26:05,279 --> 01:26:12,399
You are not wrong about that, Nick says, Now the

1472
01:26:12,439 --> 01:26:16,000
Gable has his title match, maybe before or after SummerSlam,

1473
01:26:16,079 --> 01:26:20,720
Penta goes heel and we get dark Penta. We are

1474
01:26:20,760 --> 01:26:24,760
not getting dark Penta. Penta is not going heel that

1475
01:26:25,159 --> 01:26:28,560
I can tell you. Penta is not going hel Penta.

1476
01:26:29,239 --> 01:26:34,680
Penta enjoys being a babyface. Wwe I think likes him

1477
01:26:34,720 --> 01:26:37,840
being a babyface. They send him out there to do

1478
01:26:37,960 --> 01:26:40,479
media and stuff, and he's meeting kid Penta is for

1479
01:26:40,600 --> 01:26:45,800
the kids. Now, they're not going to to trade that

1480
01:26:45,880 --> 01:26:49,279
in Fore heel turn also does Tatum Pasley debut at

1481
01:26:49,359 --> 01:26:52,199
MSG to help Lyra? I would guess yes, I think so.

1482
01:26:54,479 --> 01:26:56,279
I think that'd be a good spot for her to debut.

1483
01:27:00,359 --> 01:27:02,880
Dried Chicken says I would love to buy Maxine and

1484
01:27:03,000 --> 01:27:09,960
Lyra double bacon cheeseburger and chili cheese fries on the side.

1485
01:27:10,720 --> 01:27:17,760
That sounds disgusting, getting heartburn just reading that. I would

1486
01:27:17,880 --> 01:27:22,680
rather watch the elegance brand over the vision, so would I.

1487
01:27:24,760 --> 01:27:28,239
You and me both Chicago for MBK. The mismanagement of

1488
01:27:28,319 --> 01:27:31,960
bron is criminal. Yes, they should be brought up on charges.

1489
01:27:33,640 --> 01:27:40,119
I agree. Dried Chicken says Bron Breaker and Carmelo Hayes

1490
01:27:40,199 --> 01:27:47,840
should be sent to triple A. Aaron says bron Breaker

1491
01:27:47,960 --> 01:27:54,359
is on the Rye back trajectory, so he'll be shooting

1492
01:27:54,399 --> 01:28:03,359
tiktoks and doing food challenges. I sure hope not. Is

1493
01:28:03,399 --> 01:28:05,119
he on tikto I don't even know if he's on TikTok?

1494
01:28:07,479 --> 01:28:15,399
Alexander says, does Maxine gain two hundred pounds and start

1495
01:28:17,239 --> 01:28:20,359
does Maxine gained two hundred pounds and start wearing a

1496
01:28:20,399 --> 01:28:24,760
penguin like suit to Mimickhaman as the new leader of

1497
01:28:24,800 --> 01:28:26,880
the All she has to do is waddle back and

1498
01:28:26,920 --> 01:28:37,840
forth when she walks out. I would not advise the

1499
01:28:37,880 --> 01:28:41,520
whole gaining two hundred pounds thing. That would be bad.

1500
01:28:41,560 --> 01:28:45,319
But she has abs. She has she has abs. I

1501
01:28:45,359 --> 01:28:50,760
mean she does want to get rid of those. Lyra

1502
01:28:50,920 --> 01:28:57,079
was hanging out with Tyrone Bighams. Paul Carpenter says, give

1503
01:28:57,159 --> 01:29:00,640
Lyra the hearing voices gimmick that Bailey was supposed to have.

1504
01:29:01,720 --> 01:29:04,920
My opinion, it would work better the way Lyra's mannerisms are.

1505
01:29:04,960 --> 01:29:07,720
How about we don't give anybody the voices gimmick because

1506
01:29:07,760 --> 01:29:12,960
it's just dumb. How beut we don't do that. Although

1507
01:29:12,960 --> 01:29:15,000
I don't disagree with you. When she walked out there

1508
01:29:15,239 --> 01:29:17,199
kind of looking and acting the way that she was,

1509
01:29:17,279 --> 01:29:19,560
she did sound like maybe she had some voices in

1510
01:29:19,600 --> 01:29:22,039
her head. She looked the part more than Bailey did

1511
01:29:22,039 --> 01:29:24,560
when she was doing the gimmick. But I think we

1512
01:29:24,560 --> 01:29:31,520
could just leave the gimmick out altogether. Alexander, Lyra should

1513
01:29:31,560 --> 01:29:36,119
come out with the crow face paid a sting version.

1514
01:29:36,279 --> 01:29:40,680
Huh wow, a sting. Is she going to be up

1515
01:29:40,680 --> 01:29:44,760
in the rafters at Madison Square Garden this weekend? She'll

1516
01:29:44,800 --> 01:29:46,760
be She'll be up in the rafters watching all the

1517
01:29:46,800 --> 01:29:52,680
earlier matches and then coming down eventually for hers. Saint

1518
01:29:52,760 --> 01:29:57,840
James says, the ad breaks tonight were so bad, I

1519
01:29:57,840 --> 01:30:00,399
should give all my Netflix money to you and cancel

1520
01:30:00,439 --> 01:30:03,600
my subscription. Fifteen to twenty minutes of ads for the

1521
01:30:03,600 --> 01:30:10,119
Gauntlet match. Look, here's the reality of it. Ads are

1522
01:30:10,479 --> 01:30:14,199
you know? They're a necessary evil? Everybody does them. It's

1523
01:30:15,119 --> 01:30:17,880
it's the way that they spread them out during the matches.

1524
01:30:19,319 --> 01:30:22,279
During a Gauntlet match, you have to expect it because

1525
01:30:22,279 --> 01:30:25,319
the Gauntlet is gonna go twenty twenty five thirty minutes.

1526
01:30:25,399 --> 01:30:29,319
They've done Gauntlet matches that are forty plus. Right, of

1527
01:30:29,359 --> 01:30:32,359
course you're gonna have commercials. I'm just talking about in

1528
01:30:32,399 --> 01:30:36,159
some cases regular standard like six or seven minute matches

1529
01:30:37,079 --> 01:30:40,840
that just get literally cut in half or more by

1530
01:30:40,880 --> 01:30:43,720
a commercial break. And not everybody is using a VPN

1531
01:30:43,840 --> 01:30:46,920
to watch it during the break, So what are you

1532
01:30:46,960 --> 01:30:49,640
even watching? What are you actually getting with some of

1533
01:30:49,680 --> 01:30:53,279
these matches. You're seeing the opening ninety seconds and if

1534
01:30:53,279 --> 01:30:55,239
you're lucky you'll get a few minutes at the end.

1535
01:30:56,039 --> 01:30:59,000
You know, they butcher the matches themselves and it takes

1536
01:30:59,039 --> 01:31:02,720
you out of it, or just you know, sometimes during

1537
01:31:02,760 --> 01:31:05,000
the breaks is when some of the high spots happen

1538
01:31:05,119 --> 01:31:08,319
and you don't even see him because most of the

1539
01:31:08,319 --> 01:31:12,279
time they don't replay them when they come back. There

1540
01:31:12,319 --> 01:31:14,119
have been times where I'll have the VPN on it

1541
01:31:14,119 --> 01:31:16,119
and I'm watching a match. I can tell they're going

1542
01:31:16,159 --> 01:31:19,600
to commercial, but I can continue to watch and they'll

1543
01:31:19,640 --> 01:31:21,920
be like some big spott of off the top. I'm like,

1544
01:31:21,920 --> 01:31:23,840
holy shit, And then they'll come back and they don't

1545
01:31:23,880 --> 01:31:29,439
bother replaying it. They just they have to do a

1546
01:31:29,439 --> 01:31:32,680
better job of just managing them or spreading them out.

1547
01:31:33,079 --> 01:31:34,479
Or if you know you're gonna have like a big

1548
01:31:34,520 --> 01:31:37,399
main event, maybe you front loaded a little bit so

1549
01:31:37,439 --> 01:31:39,399
that you can go commercial free for the main event.

1550
01:31:39,439 --> 01:31:41,079
That's one thing I will I will give him credit

1551
01:31:41,119 --> 01:31:44,680
for if he had any say in the matter. You know,

1552
01:31:44,960 --> 01:31:47,520
when Russo was writing and booking in the late nineties,

1553
01:31:48,840 --> 01:31:51,279
you know, he has said that like we would never

1554
01:31:51,960 --> 01:31:55,319
like have commercials during the main events, like absolutely not,

1555
01:31:56,279 --> 01:31:58,279
Like during our main events. You let that main event

1556
01:31:58,319 --> 01:32:01,319
play out, And I thought about that, and I was like,

1557
01:32:02,520 --> 01:32:04,840
there may have been times where some of those raw

1558
01:32:04,840 --> 01:32:07,039
main events would have a commercial break, but he's not wrong.

1559
01:32:07,119 --> 01:32:11,239
I can't really remember it being a regular occurrence, Like

1560
01:32:12,359 --> 01:32:15,000
you would watch those main events and a lot of

1561
01:32:15,079 --> 01:32:16,840
them would go over time, you know, they would they

1562
01:32:16,880 --> 01:32:20,319
would go into like an overrun, and I don't remember

1563
01:32:20,319 --> 01:32:23,920
them having commercials. So how is it that they were

1564
01:32:23,960 --> 01:32:25,520
able to get away with that back then but they

1565
01:32:25,560 --> 01:32:28,800
can't now? Or is it just the fact that there's

1566
01:32:28,840 --> 01:32:34,880
so many more so, so many many more that it

1567
01:32:35,000 --> 01:32:39,960
just makes it impossible for them to do so, you

1568
01:32:40,000 --> 01:32:46,439
know that's that's the issue. Yeah, Ze, Racis, you didn't

1569
01:32:46,479 --> 01:32:48,880
even see the opening of the gym of the Jimmy

1570
01:32:48,920 --> 01:32:51,399
and Royce match. Yeah, that match literally started during the

1571
01:32:51,399 --> 01:32:56,520
commercial break. The angle to set it up, and then

1572
01:32:56,560 --> 01:32:58,880
the actual beginning of the match all happened during a

1573
01:32:58,920 --> 01:33:05,800
commercial break, and then when they came back in progress,

1574
01:33:05,880 --> 01:33:11,840
they went to another commercial ninety seconds later. How do

1575
01:33:11,920 --> 01:33:15,720
you review a match like that? That's why I say, like,

1576
01:33:16,720 --> 01:33:18,600
it was a match, What do you want me to

1577
01:33:18,600 --> 01:33:22,319
say about it? There's nothing to say. They were out

1578
01:33:22,319 --> 01:33:26,399
there doing moves, waiting for the referee to tell them okay,

1579
01:33:26,399 --> 01:33:29,159
we're at commercial, and then waiting for the referee to

1580
01:33:29,159 --> 01:33:33,960
tell them Okay, we're back. That's it, that's all. It was.

1581
01:33:36,479 --> 01:33:40,119
Dry Chicken says we need to will it into existence.

1582
01:33:42,920 --> 01:33:45,960
If Leo Rush talks about the rain, Wembley crowd needs

1583
01:33:46,000 --> 01:33:49,960
to sing have you ever seen the rain by Creeden's

1584
01:33:50,000 --> 01:33:55,159
clear Water? Yeah? I mean why would he talk about

1585
01:33:55,159 --> 01:34:01,319
the rain? He would talk about him. He's fine, it's fine,

1586
01:34:02,640 --> 01:34:07,880
it's fine. The oracle is Braun on a ride back

1587
01:34:07,920 --> 01:34:16,159
slash Braun trajectory, I hope not. What a waste? What

1588
01:34:16,239 --> 01:34:22,479
a waste? That would be pseudo tpk raw on Netflix,

1589
01:34:22,560 --> 01:34:28,239
Monday nights at eight pm, rated TVBS. How did you know?

1590
01:34:28,319 --> 01:34:30,800
How did you know? That? That was the show's new rating?

1591
01:34:32,359 --> 01:34:35,720
Ashley I called the Oba stuff on X and was mocked.

1592
01:34:37,079 --> 01:34:41,920
Which Oba stuff? Are you referring to the ridiculous explanation

1593
01:34:42,000 --> 01:34:48,760
that was given? You gotta be more specific? An EJ

1594
01:34:48,920 --> 01:34:53,239
Slamp with a four ninety nine? When does Lolavice get

1595
01:34:53,279 --> 01:34:56,479
called up? If wwe cut her or J C. Jane.

1596
01:34:56,479 --> 01:34:59,399
I feel like they would thrive in aew Tony Kahan

1597
01:34:59,439 --> 01:35:04,800
would love them like Storm and Monet. Well, I hope not.

1598
01:35:05,000 --> 01:35:06,960
I hope they'd get a chance on the main roster

1599
01:35:07,039 --> 01:35:10,239
before they would get cut. Boy, that would suck to

1600
01:35:10,279 --> 01:35:14,720
not even give them a chance. I have no idea

1601
01:35:14,720 --> 01:35:17,039
when Lola gets called though. Lola's another one who feels

1602
01:35:17,119 --> 01:35:20,000
like they're just waiting for the right moment, you know,

1603
01:35:20,079 --> 01:35:25,359
to get her on. Most likely SmackDown. Would be my

1604
01:35:25,479 --> 01:35:27,840
guess that when she gets called up, she will be

1605
01:35:27,880 --> 01:35:33,399
on SmackDown. And HEJ says, you ask which crush I

1606
01:35:33,439 --> 01:35:37,520
would pick for my boy stable, He'll crush ninety three

1607
01:35:37,560 --> 01:35:41,720
to ninety five with mister Fuji Fuji was so bad.

1608
01:35:41,760 --> 01:35:51,560
He was awesome. He just threw salt every match. Yeah,

1609
01:35:51,840 --> 01:35:56,279
Fuji Fuji was. It was funny because at that point

1610
01:35:57,239 --> 01:35:59,359
somebody would throw a punch and he would take a bump,

1611
01:36:00,159 --> 01:36:03,920
but it would be like the slowest fall down onto

1612
01:36:03,920 --> 01:36:05,479
the april. You would throw a punch at him, and

1613
01:36:05,520 --> 01:36:08,119
then it was like a tree that was tipping over

1614
01:36:08,199 --> 01:36:11,880
ever so slowly, and he is he would fall down

1615
01:36:11,880 --> 01:36:18,359
to the mat. Ninety three to ninety five crush. Really,

1616
01:36:18,560 --> 01:36:22,760
I'm more of a Kona crush guy myself. Shaka bra right,

1617
01:36:22,880 --> 01:36:26,359
he would do the crush he was wearing the yellow

1618
01:36:26,399 --> 01:36:36,199
and the purple and the orange Chakabra. All right, we're

1619
01:36:36,239 --> 01:36:40,680
currently sitting at five hundred and forty one likes, so

1620
01:36:40,720 --> 01:36:43,319
we're gonna get one round. We're gonna get one shot.

1621
01:36:44,119 --> 01:36:46,199
That be the booker today. Let's make the most of it.

1622
01:36:46,359 --> 01:36:49,640
Here we go, gentlemen, it is now time to be

1623
01:36:50,199 --> 01:36:55,359
the booker. We're gonna have to make this a good

1624
01:36:55,399 --> 01:37:02,680
one because we only have one round tonight. Start with

1625
01:37:02,720 --> 01:37:14,920
tag teams Triple Ah's Biggest Nightmare, Power and Glory, Hercules

1626
01:37:15,319 --> 01:37:19,479
and Paul Roman. There he is the Slickster. Doesn't get

1627
01:37:19,560 --> 01:37:23,000
enough love. Slickster, Actually, this team doesn't get enough love.

1628
01:37:24,800 --> 01:37:31,239
What a great finish, the power Plex, that power Plex combo.

1629
01:37:31,800 --> 01:37:36,079
It's a fantastic tag team finish. I'm glad that FTR

1630
01:37:36,119 --> 01:37:38,600
adopted it. I just wish that they would use it

1631
01:37:38,640 --> 01:37:41,199
as a finish occasionally and not just as a setup

1632
01:37:42,239 --> 01:37:50,039
to the shatter Machine. Actually says you retweeted my comment

1633
01:37:50,119 --> 01:37:53,279
about Oba picking bra. I don't remember that, but I

1634
01:37:53,359 --> 01:38:03,800
believe you. And then we have Ooh Stone Cold, Steve

1635
01:38:03,880 --> 01:38:11,640
Austin and Sean Michael wearing his Homer Simpson shirt. Power

1636
01:38:11,680 --> 01:38:19,560
and Glory against Austin and HBK. Sign me up. I

1637
01:38:19,640 --> 01:38:25,479
dig that women's be the booker. We have the Queen

1638
01:38:26,079 --> 01:38:32,640
of Spades, the most dominant champion in the women's division

1639
01:38:32,640 --> 01:38:37,640
in the history of NXT, Shane Basler, who it was

1640
01:38:37,720 --> 01:38:41,159
just announced today the deal has been done. The deal

1641
01:38:41,199 --> 01:38:45,359
is official. Shane Basler will be challenging for the HOG

1642
01:38:45,600 --> 01:38:51,800
Women's Championship Friday night, August seventh, the NYC Arena live

1643
01:38:51,880 --> 01:38:57,239
and free on YouTube against Shatzi. This will be her

1644
01:38:57,319 --> 01:39:01,000
warm up match for the Hog Show. Wouldn't it be

1645
01:39:01,039 --> 01:39:09,239
something if we landed on Shatzi. Oh my fucking god.

1646
01:39:11,119 --> 01:39:16,119
I swear, I swear to you. I swear to you.

1647
01:39:16,359 --> 01:39:20,439
I did nothing. I pushed a button, That's all I did.

1648
01:39:21,760 --> 01:39:25,000
I am. This thing can hear me. I don't know how,

1649
01:39:25,479 --> 01:39:29,359
I don't know how it's possible, but this thing can

1650
01:39:29,399 --> 01:39:32,319
hear me. I'm convinced that this thing is has a

1651
01:39:32,359 --> 01:39:36,319
mind of its own. There's no fucking way that that

1652
01:39:36,560 --> 01:39:45,119
just happened. There's no way that that just happened. The

1653
01:39:45,159 --> 01:39:49,279
words had barely left my mouth and I see Shatzi

1654
01:39:49,520 --> 01:39:52,800
in a tank on my screen. Are you fucking kidding me?

1655
01:39:57,960 --> 01:40:05,880
Hashtag rigged. It is not, it is not. Well, there

1656
01:40:05,880 --> 01:40:09,680
you go. I mean, look, it was. Sometimes these things

1657
01:40:09,680 --> 01:40:13,159
are just meant to be. Sometimes these things it's just

1658
01:40:13,279 --> 01:40:15,720
fate and there's really nothing you can do about it.

1659
01:40:17,880 --> 01:40:20,600
But if you want to see that match, it does

1660
01:40:20,640 --> 01:40:24,159
not have to be a fantasy warfare scenario. This match

1661
01:40:24,199 --> 01:40:33,319
will be a reality next month. Oh my god. That

1662
01:40:33,319 --> 01:40:40,399
that's that's fucking creepy. That is creepy as shit. How

1663
01:40:40,439 --> 01:40:44,159
many dozens of women are in be the booker in

1664
01:40:44,159 --> 01:40:59,319
that round? Ah? Oh my god. So here we go.

1665
01:41:03,359 --> 01:41:08,880
All right, we got our main event here, yes, and

1666
01:41:09,000 --> 01:41:11,159
more and more people will be watching it than you

1667
01:41:11,239 --> 01:41:14,840
at any point in your life, Johnny, And you know

1668
01:41:14,920 --> 01:41:18,720
it's true. Here we go. We got Russev who was

1669
01:41:18,760 --> 01:41:20,720
in the Gauntlet today. He didn't have a lot of luck.

1670
01:41:22,439 --> 01:41:26,159
He didn't have a lot of success. I don't suspect

1671
01:41:26,159 --> 01:41:28,119
he will have a lot of success here either. But

1672
01:41:28,279 --> 01:41:30,319
we have to pick an opponent for him. All depends

1673
01:41:30,319 --> 01:41:38,880
on who he lands. Son is his opponent. Here we go. Oh,

1674
01:41:38,880 --> 01:41:43,880
he's definitely not winning this one, that's for damn sure.

1675
01:41:44,920 --> 01:41:49,039
It ain't gonna work out too well for this guy. Yeah,

1676
01:41:49,079 --> 01:41:51,600
it ain't gonna be Rusev Day when he is in

1677
01:41:51,640 --> 01:41:58,079
there with the immortal Hulk Hogan. This is gonna be

1678
01:41:58,119 --> 01:42:01,239
one of those old school eighties matches where Hulk goes

1679
01:42:01,239 --> 01:42:04,439
in there and sells and sells and sells for the

1680
01:42:04,479 --> 01:42:06,960
Foreign Menace, but then in the end he just he

1681
01:42:07,079 --> 01:42:12,039
falls to the Hulkster. This this is a match right

1682
01:42:12,079 --> 01:42:14,720
out of Saturday Night's main Event in nineteen eighty seven.

1683
01:42:15,319 --> 01:42:24,000
That's what this is. Well, there you go Hulk Hogan

1684
01:42:24,039 --> 01:42:32,840
and Russev closes out the night. Hogan must pose, He'll

1685
01:42:32,840 --> 01:42:34,800
have his chance to pose here at the very end,

1686
01:42:37,359 --> 01:42:42,439
Russev Day don't work for me, brother, unless, of course,

1687
01:42:42,479 --> 01:42:45,239
you know, Russev decides to drop Hogan on his head

1688
01:42:45,319 --> 01:42:49,239
or something, and then oh, you get Linda and the

1689
01:42:49,359 --> 01:42:59,479
kids on the phone. Brother, get the rosary beads. Thank you,

1690
01:42:59,520 --> 01:43:03,840
guys for another fun stream. Tonight, The work continues. We

1691
01:43:03,880 --> 01:43:07,079
got a brand new episode of The Uncrowned Wrestling Show

1692
01:43:08,239 --> 01:43:11,399
coming up tomorrow. Tomorrow night, we'll have a brand new

1693
01:43:11,439 --> 01:43:15,560
Tuesday Night Titans as well, and then Wednesday we have

1694
01:43:15,600 --> 01:43:18,840
the Dynamite post show, the first Dynamite since Kenny Omega

1695
01:43:18,920 --> 01:43:22,199
won back the aw World Championship. We'll get a better sense,

1696
01:43:22,239 --> 01:43:24,399
hopefully of what the hell is going on at Redemption

1697
01:43:24,960 --> 01:43:28,039
later this month. SmackDown on Friday, and then we have

1698
01:43:28,039 --> 01:43:30,600
Saturday Night's main events. I will be live on YouTube

1699
01:43:30,640 --> 01:43:32,439
for that. That'll be on Saturday night as soon as

1700
01:43:32,479 --> 01:43:35,159
the show is over, and then it leads right into

1701
01:43:35,199 --> 01:43:37,720
a brand new SoundOff. You guys know the Drill episode

1702
01:43:37,800 --> 01:43:41,359
nine seventy one went up yesterday, so be sure to

1703
01:43:41,399 --> 01:43:44,720
go check that out if you have not already done, so,

1704
01:43:46,159 --> 01:43:49,439
leave a light on your way out. Have yourselves a

1705
01:43:49,520 --> 01:43:53,880
good rest of your night, super Pony. I just spotted

1706
01:43:53,920 --> 01:43:58,039
super Pony. Shouldn't Gunther get suspended for what he did

1707
01:43:58,079 --> 01:44:01,239
on Friday? Also, remember when Braun was the favorite to

1708
01:44:01,279 --> 01:44:07,199
win the Rumble no longer than a few months ago. Hmm?

1709
01:44:07,479 --> 01:44:12,640
It feels like a lifetime ago, doesn't it. Yeah, I

1710
01:44:12,640 --> 01:44:15,840
don't think anybody is picking him to be a favorite

1711
01:44:15,880 --> 01:44:21,079
for anything right now. As far as Gunther, should he

1712
01:44:21,159 --> 01:44:23,760
be suspended? Of course, he should be fired for what

1713
01:44:23,840 --> 01:44:29,199
he did. He should be fired for being realistic. Here

1714
01:44:32,600 --> 01:44:37,319
Cecil coming in late, Cecil Robinson here four ninety nine

1715
01:44:37,319 --> 01:44:39,520
and Glad. I was at Madison Square Garden for Seena

1716
01:44:39,600 --> 01:44:44,119
and Seamus's last raw appearances seamous against Big Show at

1717
01:44:44,119 --> 01:44:46,560
Helena Sel twenty twelve for the world title. Was a

1718
01:44:46,600 --> 01:44:49,720
good match? Was that the one where Big Show had

1719
01:44:49,760 --> 01:44:55,119
the oversized chair? Or was that their chairs match? That

1720
01:44:55,239 --> 01:44:58,600
was the chairs match? I think, yeah, Shamey's some Big Show.

1721
01:44:58,640 --> 01:45:01,840
I think had a I had a good chemistry when

1722
01:45:01,840 --> 01:45:03,600
they were in the ring together. I remember them having

1723
01:45:03,600 --> 01:45:08,000
a couple of good matches. The oversized chair I'll never

1724
01:45:08,039 --> 01:45:11,560
I'll never get over that though, the biggest chair I've

1725
01:45:11,600 --> 01:45:16,560
ever seen in my life. I said, that's funny. That

1726
01:45:16,720 --> 01:45:27,439
was actually well done. Aaron. Who would you trust between Hogan,

1727
01:45:27,720 --> 01:45:35,800
Nick Con and the Rock? I mean, I don't know

1728
01:45:35,840 --> 01:45:38,920
that I would trust any of them. If I had

1729
01:45:38,920 --> 01:45:42,359
to pick one, who I would put my faith and

1730
01:45:42,399 --> 01:45:45,800
trust in. Of the three, I would have to go Rock.

1731
01:45:46,479 --> 01:45:52,800
Rock is getting into Hogan territory, though. I think my

1732
01:45:52,880 --> 01:45:56,119
favorite recent Rock story it's not even that recent. I

1733
01:45:56,159 --> 01:45:58,800
think it was a reused clip from when he was

1734
01:45:58,800 --> 01:46:02,439
on Joe Rogan. I don't know how long ago it

1735
01:46:02,479 --> 01:46:03,880
was that this might have been a couple of years

1736
01:46:03,920 --> 01:46:07,199
ago now, but he he told that story about how

1737
01:46:07,199 --> 01:46:10,920
he almost became a fighter and pride. Just the way

1738
01:46:10,920 --> 01:46:13,399
he tells the story, I'm like so full of shit.

1739
01:46:15,119 --> 01:46:19,840
Oh man, am I going to be a fanatics Fest

1740
01:46:19,840 --> 01:46:22,439
this week? I No, I will not. I will not

1741
01:46:22,479 --> 01:46:26,640
be a fanatics Fest. I gotta work, brother, We got

1742
01:46:26,640 --> 01:46:28,840
smack down, we got Saturday nights made event. I got

1743
01:46:28,840 --> 01:46:31,920
other shit to do. Where am I going to Fanatics Fest?

1744
01:46:35,159 --> 01:46:39,039
If I wanted to get a Jalen Brunson photo or

1745
01:46:39,079 --> 01:46:44,880
autograph or whatever, it's like nine hundred dollars. I will

1746
01:46:44,880 --> 01:46:50,199
not be able to attend fanatics Fest. But if you

1747
01:46:50,239 --> 01:46:52,199
are going have fun, I know they're gonna have a

1748
01:46:52,239 --> 01:46:56,119
whole bunch of different people there, and celebrities and athletes

1749
01:46:56,159 --> 01:47:02,119
and all kinds of stuff. They're invading New York this week. Yeah,

1750
01:47:02,159 --> 01:47:03,760
we got that's right. Ricky says, we got the sound

1751
01:47:03,760 --> 01:47:11,359

1753
01:47:19,159 --> 01:47:22,399
