Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure that I just got done watching the
worst raw of the entire year, a raw that felt
like it would never end. I want you to know
that I went to the movies last week and I
watched The Odyssey. The Odyssey is almost three hours long,
and somehow that felt shorter than this show did. This
show watching it actually felt longer. And the show went
off the air fifteen minutes early tonight. That's the kind
of Monday night raw that we got here to follow
up Saturday night's main event. We had no Roman Reigns
who needed time to recover after twenty five minutes of
Aura farming in Madison Square Garden the other night, So
he was not on the show tonight. Brockleisner was not
on the show tonight. They're both gonna be on the
show next week because next week is the go home
raw before SummerSlam. So we're gonna have one last face
to face between Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins, and then
we're gonna have a way in between Brocklesner and Obafemi.
That's going to be on the show next week. Now. No, No,
tonight you see was raw? Is Dan Hausen. Let me
tell you if you are not a fan of Dan Housen,
this was not the raw for you. And if you
are a fan of Dan Housen, you probably won't be
for much longer if they continue to run him into
the ground. There had to be a minimum minimum four
maybe five minimum segments with Dan Housen on this show,
multiple segments in the back, multiple segments in the ring.
Then they announced that it's Summer Slim. He's going to
have a match. It's going to be Dan Housen one
on one with Dominic mysterio that's now been added to
the Summer Slam card because they're continuing this storyline about
the one hundred thousand dollars that Dan Housen stole from
the judgment day off air how many months ago now,
I don't even know. I thought this was all wrapped
up at Saturday Night's main event, but apparently not. So
we had the four or five segments with him tonight,
plus everything that happened on Saturday. We have the match
with dom coming up at Summerslim, and and next Monday
night we are gonna have Dan Housen singing because Dan
Housen is going to be in concert with Joe Hendry or,
as Michael Cole called him tonight, Joe Henry. It's all
Dan Housen all the time. Boy. They are just they
are determined to run this thing into the ground and
make it so that I don't even want to see
him on TV anymore. I actually sometimes feel like I'm
one of the people who doesn't mind getting doses of
Dan Housen on the show. They are this close to
making it where I don't want to see him on
my television screen anymore. They take something that's fun or
special or works, and they just run it into the
fucking ground. Ridiculous all over this show tonight. You have.
The biggest sin of this episode was the biggest sin
of this episode of Raw is that it was boring
as shit and it made me less interested in Summer Slim.
It should be the opposite, You should be getting me
more excited for Summer Slim. They took a step back
and did the exact opposite here with this show tonight.
So that's not good. Also very interesting, no women's matches
on the show tonight, and the one woman who just
turned heel coming off a huge win at Madison Square
Garden over Bailey was relegated to a segment during the
commercial break tonight where she briefly interrupted soul Ruka and
she vowed to get back the championship that once belonged
to her. It's too bad none of that actually happened
on the television show. Outside of that, we had Maxine Dupree.
She was doing her thing with the Vision. She's the
new leader of the Vision. Paul Hayman is not with
the Vision anymore, clearly. And we also had liv Morgan
in her new role of manager, because that's basically what
she is at this point. Let's just call her what
she is. Live Morgan is a manager on the show.
She's a valet, she's Dom's better half. She walks around
with a women's championship, but she hasn't defended it since April,
So can you really call her a champion if she
never defends her title? And that was the extent to
which we had any female presence on the show tonight,
because the women's division on Raw is pretty much in
shambles right now. I was saying this about SmackDown only
a few months ago, so it's very interesting how the
script has flipped to where now the division on this
show is in tatters and SmackDown. I can't say SmackDown
is all that much better, but SmackDown at least is
a little bit better than it was earlier in the year.
And of course, of course, on a very phoned in
episode of Raw, how did it end? It ended with
the Bloodline minus Roman Reigns, who was not there, throwing
up the ones in the air. Stop me if you've
heard this before. If it feels like I'm describing a
a rerun of the show, this is very good reason
for that, because that's what Raw feels like on most weeks,
very much so. And La Night lost in the main event,
La Night lost to the Bloodline. I forgot to mention
that little part there. It really does feel like Raw
is just in rerun mode on most weeks. It's just
awful and so the Cherry on the Shit Sunday, in
case you couldn't tell from the title of this stream.
On top of all of that, we have TMZ now
reporting that Tom Brady super BOWLD Champion Tom Brady is
in talks. He's in negotiations. He's having deep conversations with
WWE about what they didn't specify. Although he's been going
back and forth now for a while with Logan Paul.
They had their little slapfest that fanatics best. The other day.
They were both at the Word World Cup game on
Sunday flip at each other off. It feels like they're
building to a match something between him and Logan Paul,
which nobody with a brain is asking for. But that's
kind of what it feels like right now. There is
really no scenario in which Tom Brady is brought in
to do anything with ww Weed that I would consider good.
All of this is just bad, not shocking though, when
you consider that Tom Brady is repped by WME Group,
and WME Group is of course owned and operated by
Endeavor I E. Ari Immanuel, so of course we get
that synergy going again. It's the Pat McAfee thing all
over again. This is your Monday Night Raw review. It
is July twentieth, twenty twenty six. I am the Solemn Monster.
Thank you for being with me here on a Monday night.
We got a how many Tom terrific fans or do
we have here in the chat? Are you excited? Are
you excited to see Tom Brady gracier screens? I mean
you already have him doing the announcing on Fox NFL Sunday.
Are you interested in seeing Tom Brady in a WWE ring,
whether it's as a wrestler. He may not even wrestle.
I mean, the guy's forty eight years old, He's never
wrestled before, as a referee or in someone's corner. Are
you excited to see Tom Brady grace your TV screens?
Maybe they could do stuff with Tom Brady and Dan.
Maybe Dan Housen can put a curse on Tom Brady
and make him go away. Maybe we could use Dan
Housen for good instead of for evil, like and subscribe.
Superchats are open, get the money. Let me know how
excited you are at the prospect of Tom Brady being
on WWE television. Yes, send him to NXT. I like
that idea. That's a good idea. Actually, you know, Nick All,
this is going to be wrestling Gunther at Summerslim, and
I would presume that coming out of Summer Slim, he'll
be back to his you know, general manager position on SmackDown.
If they needed a new GM on SmackDown, we may
end up with Tom Brady as the general manager of
the of the Friday night show. Wouldn't that be something.
We will try to entertain ourselves here on these street.
You know, I say it every week, and I hear
it from you guys too, where some of you don't
even watch RAW, some of you have literally dropped off
watching any of the television shows and you just tune
into streams and podcasts like this one or maybe just
this one. And if you do, I appreciate that because
the shows are just so fucking boring. You know, you'll
get a good one here and there, but then you
get a show like this and it just I kind
of sit back in awe. Like when I was putting
the preview together for this show, I like to at
least list that what the matches are that have already
been announced. Maybe not all of them have been announced,
but they give us three or four. And I went
to go through the preview for this show tonight, and
I was stunned at the fact that there was nothing.
There was nothing. They announced that Seth Rollins was going
to open the show, which he didn't. They announced that
this person will be here, this person will be here,
this person will be here. That was it. That was
the preview. I'm like, what the fuck am I supposed
to do with that. What kind of preview is this.
You're supposed to get people excited to watch this television show.
Where is the excitement? The excitement is gone, the excitement
is not there, So we will try to entertain ourselves.
Go ahead and hit that like button. I'm going to
break up the wheel right now. Me spinning this wheel
will be more exciting than all two hours plus of
Monday Night Raw tonight. And I'm not even exaggerating when
I say that. See aren't you having fun? I know
I am five fifty. Well, we may not be having
fun at the end if we don't hit five point
fifty to be the booker. We're two hundred and thirty
something like, So five hundred and fifty likes is the goal.
Though just out of the corner of my eye, we
are very close to the bonus goal already, and we're
just starting seven out of ten, so we may be
getting beat the Booker one way or the other. But
go ahead and hit that like button. You guys know
what to do. Thank you again for those of you
also who hung out with me on Saturday night after
Saturday Night's main event and tuned into the latest episode
of the solo Monster sounds off on Sunday, episode nine
seventy two with my Dark Side of the Ring review
of the finale of the Trilogy of Jeff Jarrett and
TNA Wrestling. It was more fun actually going through all
of the just the awful LOL TNA moments from the
Hogan Bischoff era than it was watching this episode of
Monday Nightral. It was very entertaining. Not not in the
best way, but it was very entertaining. And you know
what sucks. The show opened tonight with promise because we
got something very unusual from Monday Night braw. We open
with a wrestling match. I was stunned. We went right
into the action. We had the World Tag Team Champions.
It was Austin Theory and bron Breaker non title taking
on the random team of Javon Evans and Dragon Lee,
brought together by a mutual respect coming out of what
I thought was a hell of a sprint in the
Gauntlet match last week that the two of them had.
So they were tag team partners this week? Why not?
Why not? They don't have a tag team division, so
you may as well. I can. Actually, actually that's not
a bad team. Javon and Dragon Lee actually make a
pretty good team. Maybe that could become a thing. So
Evans he jumped Breaker before the bell even Rang took
him out with a dive to the floor. Bron, though,
got a measure of revenge a little while later. He
blind tagged into the match took a Javan down with
a suplex Logan. Paul was outside the ring. He was
running distraction and after that, Dragonly got caught coming off
the top by Breaker, who planted him with a power slam,
and that took us into an ad break. Later on,
Evans he dumped Breaker over the timekeeper's barricade, and then
Javon decided to do a circle around the entire ring
and he built up ahead of Steam and he did
a big dive over the timekeeper's barricade onto Break, almost
killed himself in doing so. Back inside, Maxine Dupree reaches in.
She trips up Dragonly. That allowed Breaker to drop him
with a clothesline. Evans then got killed with a spear,
then the super spear, the turbo spear by Bron Breaker
followed onto uh dragon Lee cut him in half and
that was the end of Javon, Evans and Dragon Lee. Hey,
ex Mega Man, you missed you missed the hell of
an open. This was my favorite episode of Raw all
year x MEGA. Everybody in the chat will tell you
all the wonderful things I just had to say about
this wonderful TV show. So after the match, Alpha Academy
comes out, Here comes Otis, Here comes Tozawa, and they
make the save because the Vision was continuing their beat
down on Dragon Lee. Otis was dropping everybody. He was
knocking everybody down, and then Maxine got in the ring
and she slapped Otis. Otis though and Tozawa. They ended
up outside there clearing off the announced desk and Otis
is going to deliver a power bomb to Theory through
the desk. Breaker the rounds the bend and he spears
Otis down to the floor before he could do anything.
Back inside, Theory took out Tozawa with I I'm assuming
might be his new finishing move. It's basically a discus
forearm that got no reaction, and Breaker then cut down
Otis with the super spear and Maxine looked on with
a smile on her face. Paul Haymond was not on
the show to He was probably backstage, but he was
not on the show. Tonight outside of a pre taped
video package for the Brock and Oba match, So that
could be why there was no interaction with him in
this group here. But based on what we saw last
week where he basically blew them off and said, what
do you need me for? You got her? She may
well be the new leading face of the vision here.
The vision is now. Here's the thing. The vision is
now built around Austin Theory and Maxine Dupree, bron breaker.
He feels like he's his partner, but he almost feels
like a bodyguard. Now for Theory, he's playing second face,
playing third fiddle. What am I talking about? Third fiddle?
I didn't even know there were three fiddles. Third fiddle
to Austin Theory and Maxine Dupray. What are we doing here?
I don't know. There's your obligatory vision segment for the week.
We go backstage after this. We go from the vision
to the judgment day, from the judgment day to the
blood line, from the blood line to the vision, and
the vision to the blood line, from the vision to
the bloodline, and the judgment day pops up in between.
I feel like I'm just being bounced back and forth
between the same factions over and over again, all of
I'm pretty sure, all of which all three of them,
have overstayed their welcome. There is not a single group
on this show that should still be together, not one.
And then what do we have on SmackDown? I don't
even I don't even remember offhand do we have any
factions on SmackDown? Who do we have on SmackDown? Why
do we still have the Judgment Day and the bloodline
running Monday night? Row? Can somebody explain this to me?
Why is this still a thing? Yeah, somebody had an
idea on the stream the other night, and I don't
think it's going to happen, but it really intrigued me.
Where Sammy Zay, you know, justice for Sammy. You know
Sammy's been screwed multiple times now, and Drew McIntyre has
been missing for a while, Kevin Owens has been out
for a long time. What if the three of them
came together as like a faction of guys who all
share a common interest or have been screwed over in
various ways. And I thought about it, and I said, yeah,
it's not gonna happen, but that would be intriguing. That
would be an intriguing group, sammy's Ay and Kevin Owens
and Drew McIntyre coming together. At least that would be
something different, and they're brought together by a common cause.
Instead we get the same groups over and over again.
Fatal Influence. That's the big group on Smack Dan. Okay,
then oh the Batties, That's right, the Batties amazing backstage
the judgment day had Dan Housen up against the wall
like a bully in high school, holding the kid up
against the wall for his lunch money. And they want
their money, but they want their one hundred thousand dollars.
And I'm listening to this and I'm like, are you
fucking kidding me? Did I not just watch the blowoff
to this On Saturday? You had Dan Housen against JD
McDonough again, over all this money and they have their
magic Madison Square garden. We had the New York Nicks,
right cats, Karl Anthony Towns comes in and helps Dan
Housen win, and all the mini Housens are running around
like a bunch of gremlins with the paint on their
face and everything, and I'm like, okay, well the story is, Oh,
this was the big payoff to the story. It was
building to Madison Square Garden right, and then the first
we're all coming out of Saturday. The judgment day has
Dan Housen up against the wall and they still want
their money. They're worse than a loan shark. Every week,
where's my money? Where's my money? He told them I
got to go find it, and Dom said, I'm going
to give you thirty seconds to go find it and
bring it back. Dan Housen runs off. They immediately cut
to a four minute commercial break. That's a lot more
than thirty seconds. First, though, we got another vignette for
the return of Big Casts or Colin Cassidy, as we
saw on some of the clippings that they showed. We
had our first vignette last week. There was no sign
of Enzo Amore. It was strictly Big Casts, and I thought, okay, well,
this week they'll probably have one for Enzo and Greg
because both of them have been rumored to be coming back,
and it's hard for me to imagine that they're going
to bring them back after all these years but keep
them completely separated from each other. I suppose they could,
but it would be very surprising. So This was again
just entirely about big casts, and in this one they
were highlighting some of the personal issues that he's had,
and you know that really led to the end of
his last WWE run. He had torn his acl then
later on he had substance abuse issues with alcohol that
was well documented. And again at the end of the
video they flashed that August third date, which is the
raw coming out of SummerSlam, that is where he will
be making his return. No Enzo here, it's the voice
in the narration sounded like Enzo to me. I couldn't
tell if it was him or not, or if it
was cast himself. It sounded a little like Enzo. He
may have been the one doing the narration. I still
think of you know, he's coming in. But if this
is you watch this segment and your takeaway from it
is that he is coming back as a single. I
think that's great news. If that's what's going on here,
I think that's great. Ah Busika, says Vukaki on the
Boukakee ghost. There he is, Yeah, go ahead, get it
out of your system. The Bucocky ghost he's getting out
of He's getting it out of his system. Early. You
know this is not the television show that I would
be getting orgasmic to if this was a great raw,
I can understand the ghost coming out and you know,
touching himself and doing all the things that he was
just doing. This raw does not get anybody excited, though,
so I'm a little surprised to see the ghost there. Hey,
Venom Catetsu, thank you because Venom Catetsuit not only dropped
the sixty nine on me, but he also hit the goal,
the bonus goal rather ten out of ten. So I
applaud you and everybody else forgetting us there, forgetting us
there early. Yeah, yeah, that's that's a super chat all right.
You know, I hadn't seen the ghost in months until
it was a Saturday Saturday night, and now we've had
the ghost that twice in forty eight hours. He's starting
to pop out more, he says officially thirty eight Today,
I won't be getting sixty nine, so I thought I
would pass a sixty nine to you, thanks for another
lap around the sun of making what's left of modern
wrestling entertaining same time next year with everybody saying thirty eight. Yeah, well,
cheers to Venom Catetsu and happy thirty eighth birthday. Brother.
I hope it was a great one. And it's almost
over now, but I hope it was a great one.
And thank you for the support. Bring out Mantar. It's
not up to me. He's in there, he's in his cave.
It's not gonna be up to me if Mantar comes out.
All right, Well, now that we've hit that goal, I'm
gonna make a new one because you guys smash that
one a lot sooner than I thought you would. So
we're gonna do that where we hit the bonus bonus,
then we'll do a second round. There you go, there's
the new goal. So yeah, I mean, if he's coming
back as a single, I think that's great. You've heard
me talk about my reasoning for it. I think that's,
you know, just gonna be better for him in the
long run, and Enzo could do something else, or Enzo
could be with him, you know again in his corner.
I think that's fine. But the tag team division it's
a dead duck right now on this show. Yeah, that'll
be good for a little bit and then it won't be.
So we'll see. We'll see if we get an end
Zo vignette or maybe they're going to save him as
a surprise, but I can't imagine that if he's coming in,
they're not going to be together. So we get a
recap of all of the dan Housen stuff. You're gonna
hear me mentioning his name a lot here in this review.
So after all the Dan Housen JD McDonough stuff from
Saturday Night's main event, it comes out to the ring
and he's got a leather satchel or bag or whatever
that apparently has lots of human monies in it, and
he said, look, I don't want this money anymore, but
I also don't want to give it to the Judgment Day.
So he says, would you fans like the money? And
I'm sure many of them were like, yeah, for the
amount of money we paid for these tickets, it sure
would be nice to recoup some of it. So of
course they all went wild because they wanted the money.
The Judgment Day comes out to put a stop to
all this. Dan Housen tried to put a curse on them,
but dominiking JD, they put the boots to him instead.
Liv Morgan was just laughing at all of this out comes.
Joe Hendry, and I thought to myself, Oh my god,
he's getting an entrance, which it's not really an entrance.
It was a run in, so it wasn't a proper entrance.
It's the closest thing to a real entrance that he's
had in a very long time, if ever, on this
show since he came to Raw. So he dropped Don
with a fallaway slam live grabbed the bag with the money,
like Haynan at WrestleMania one after the fifteen thousand dollars
body slam man. She snatched that bag and she ran
off with it, and so that was the end of that.
We'll get back to this judgment. Dave dan Housen crap
here in a little bit, we had Rollins and Rains
chapter three, because they're in the middle of airing these
very quick little snippets, like little vignettes throughout the show
documenting all of their history together in this company. This
was the cash in from WrestleMania thirty one, and I'm
looking at this and they had the close up of
Roman's face and I just I'm reminded of the blue
contact lenses that Vince McMahon had Roman wearing at that time.
Because that's just how he felt. He wanted people to
see his top star. Put the blue contact lenses in.
If you have blue eyes, gonna it's gonna just make
you a bigger baby face. Blue contact lends Roman Reins.
He looks like, I don't know, he looks like, he
looks very alien. Honestly, he doesn't look real. He looks ai.
It's just a very weird period of time in the
career of Roman Reigns. So now we go to the back.
Adam Pierce is yelling at the judgment day. Dan Housen
and Joe Hendry they walk up, Pierce holds them back.
McDonough he has the satchel, and so he reaches into
his sack and he pulls out money. But he realizes
that it's not real legal tender. It's fake money. It's
got Dan Housen's face. I mean some of it may
have been real actually underneath, but like on top, it's
got Dan Housen's face on it, so it's all fake.
He tosses the bag aside and he's ranting in rays
and everybody has this look on their face like they've
seen a ghost. Perhaps they've seen the Bukocky ghost and
they're trying to get McDonough's attention to turn around, and
he turns around and it's Obafemi because when he threw
the bag, he inadvertently struck Obafemi with it, like that's
basically I mean, you have a death wish. At that point,
Oba was ready to murder this man. And so they're
all bickering, and Pierce booked JD McDonough against Obafemi right now,
and then Dom was protesting all this is unfair, and
Pierce said, well, you know what, We're gonna do a
match later in the show. It'll be you against Joe Hendry.
So we had two matches imprompt two matches booked here
on the spot. So we had JD McDonough against Obafemi,
Joe Hendry and Dan Housen. How many times is that?
ANDAs that three times, we're not even done yet. They
come out and they throw the judgment Day or mcdona
anyway into the ring because they were very reluctant to
get inside, and Obafemi made very short work of him
a huge back body drop. We don't get enough of
those in wrestling today. By the way, I'm sure they
sucked to take but I do love me a good
back body drop with some good elevation. There was a
pay per view. I'm trying to remember. It had to
be a Survivor series. I'm almost positive it was a
Survivor series, maybe ninety one maybe where Sean Michaels was
still in the Rockers and he got he took a
back body drop. I want to say it was the Barbarian,
maybe the Warlord, but I think it was the Barbarian.
He got back body dropped. I don't know that I've
ever seen a man sent into orbit the way that
Shawn Michaels was sent into orbit, And like I watched
in awe, I watched in amazement at this so I
don't know if he quite reached Shawn Michael's height, but
he got back body dropped into the heavens. Oba picked
him up and bealed him across the ring and then
finally he hit the fall from Grace and that was
the end of JD McDonough in under a minute. Thanks
for coming. When the match was over, Oba looked into
the camera and he said, no more bs. The money
is at Summer Slam, Hell and a Cell. I'll see
you there, Brock. Oba continues to tear it up. You know,
he comes out, He's got that presence about him. There's
a reason why he's super over because there's nobody like
him on the roster right now. He has that hit factory,
has that presence about him when he comes out, and
the promos that he's cut, even the one on Saturday
on the pre show, Stephanie McMahon was in the ring
or Steph and they had Oba come out and he
cut a promo and it was very good. It was
very good. So he continues to do his thing and
he's super Over wherever they go, which is great to see.
Michael Cole and Corey Graves, So they were plugging various things.
They were plugging a whole bunch of different things, including
how great Fanatics Fest was over the weekend when when
Oscar screamed for Kyrie Arc Prince coming in with a
fifteen dollars super jit Hey, Arc Prince, thank you, brother
says what's up solo ra All, once again proving to
me that the only good wrestling shows I've been to
this year are Hog and Stardom. I even left Saturday
Nights made event early because of the New York Knicks
glazing man, a New Yorker who doesn't like the Knicks.
It's rare. It's rare, but I feel you, brother, I
feel you. You went to a wrestling show in a
glazing session. I haven't seen that much glaze since the
last time I was in Krispy Kreme. Ark Prince, thank
you for the super chat. So the announcers are talking
in Solo Socoa. Out of nowhere, he comes just randomly
walking into camera frame on his way into the ring,
still donning that bright red sport code. He's been wearing
this now for weeks, I mean, at least on Ray Works.
I'm starting to think he sleeps in this thing. He's
not even supposed to be on this show, but he
has a proposition to make, and he asked Seth Rollins
to get out here now. And it's a good thing
that Seth just so happened to be standing at the
gorilla position, I guess because as soon as they hit
his music, he came out, say his name and he appears.
Rollins came down to the ring. He said, you don't
go here, but he'll welcome him to Monday Night. Rollins.
And since you're on my show, what can I do
for you? He asked, are we talking or are we fighting?
Solo says, I'm here to talk. I'm not here to fight,
and he asks Rollins hear me out that he's focused
on getting ready for Roman reigns at SummerSlam, but Seth
has to understand it's not going to be one on one.
It's Rollin's against the whole damn bloodline, four against one,
and Solo knows what they're gonna do because he used
to be part of it. They're gonna make sure that
Seth doesn't stand a chance. But it doesn't have to
be that way. Solo says that he called Rollins out
here to offer to watch his back at SummerSlam. So
Seth admits, you know, you make a lot of good points.
You're right about Roman and the Bloodlined and maybe working
together could mean something special. So you tell Solo, look,
I want time to think about it. And he goes
to walk away, and Solo grabs him and spins him
around and says, there's nothing to think about. He's just
asking to do for Seth the same thing that Seth
did for Cody Rhodes a few years ago. I guess
that was when he was Cody Shield at WrestleMania. So
here comes Jacob Fattu, Solo eggs it stage left, right
back through the timekeeper's area, Rollins is in the ring,
Solo is gone, but Fatu is in the ring and
he's looking out at Solo doesn't realize that Rowlin's is
setting up behind him, and as soon as Jacob turns around,
Fatu eats a super kick and then Rollins leaves. So
not a whole lot to this segment. We did find
out later on that per Roman reigns, and this is
very exciting. Roman was not there tonight, but he made
it very clear to the other members of the Bloodline.
They are not to put their hands on seth Rawlins,
so Jacob couldn't touch him, the usos couldn't touch him.
That was the rule. He doesn't want any of them
to lay a finger on Rollins until SummerSlam, right, Rollins
belongs to him, so they made that very clear on
the show tonight. We have Penta and Chad Gable who
are going to be opponents at SummerSlam, but they were
partners tonight. Can They co Exist? We go from one
Can They co Exist match on Saturday to another one tonight.
The answer is yes, they did in fact co exist.
They took on Ethan Page and Russev. After a commercial
Penta managed to lay out. Russe Ve makes the tag
incomes Chad Gable. Am I doing it right? This is
what we're doing for Gables, God bless him. Man. He's
trying to get this whole clapping thing over and like
some fans are doing it, but it's not really catching on.
I think in the way that they would like for
it to. I think what they're hoping for is that
once they get to that stadium and they have fifty
that I take that back and they have their thirty
seven thousand, still a very healthy number. But however, many
people are going to be there in Minneapolis. I think
they want that visual of all the people in the
stadium doing the clap, right. They want they want the clap,
especially if he wins the championship, which he better. But
he gets into the ring. Here some rolling German souper
plexus to Ethan, belly to belly suit plex angle slam follows.
He covers him but could not get the three. He
went for a moon salt. Ethan moved out of the
way and Russev tagged, then he planted Gable with a uranagi.
He went for the cover. Pentado made the save, so
Penta sent Ethan to the floor and then he took
him out with a topey back inside. Gable went for
a suit plex Roussevo countered out of it into an
accolade in the center of the ring. Gable was able
to power out of the accolade and Russev put him
down with a headbutt. Penta he went to the top
rope and Russev he sent Gable into the corner, which
then caused Penta to lose his balance and he crotched
himself on the top rope and he fell out of
the ring to the floor. Russev tried for the accolade again.
Pentado countered into an ankle lock. Ethan gets into the
ring and before he can break that up, Penta used
Gable as a springboard to hit a Mexican destroyer to
Ethan page. As Gable cinches on the ankle lock, he
gets the grapevine, so he's grape vinding the leg and
as soon as he grapeviinds the leg, Russev immediately taps out.
There was no hesitation here. He just immediately tapped out
to give Penta and Gable the win. And when the
match was over, Penta and Gable they shook hands and
they were very friendly with each other. There was no tension,
nothing like that, nothing out of the ordinary. There was
some controversy though, this past weekend a fanatics fest involving Penta.
I'm sure some of you at least saw the story,
or maybe you saw the video. There was an area
where Penta was told, I guess that it was safe
for him to walk around without his mask. He had
like the makeup on, but he was maskless. Meanwhile, there
was a streamer named Neon who some of you may
be familiar with. He was there live streaming. He had
his crew with him. They're filming. He's walking around and
he claims that he was told that it was a
safe area to go ahead and film. That's what he says.
As he's walking around. The guy's filming and there's fucking
Penta without his mask on, walking by, and Penta is
talking to Neon. Can't see Penta, but he's talking to
him saying, please, you know, please don't post that, please
don't film. I'm a mass wrestler. I don't have my
mask on, and he, you know, Neon's all apologetic and everything.
But apparently now, I mean, there have been this talk
that maybe Penta might sue him. I don't know how
accurate any of that is, but it turned into like
a whole big, a whole big thing. So I don't
know Penta is suing this guy or they said Penta
wants to Yeah, he wants to face him one on one.
I don't know. I don't know what's going on there,
but an unfortunate situation. But then again, you have Tomatonga
who goes on his Instagram and posts. You know, I
told you guys what had happened. Like he was on
his ig and he posted a photo from Kter backstage
and there just without his mask on is Ray Phoenix.
That's why he got in trouble. And they find him.
I think they find him. What did they find him?
They find him like one hundred grand or something? Right?
Was it one hundred grand or ten grand? I think
it was one hundred grand. Maybe he got the money
from Dan Hausen, but he he got in trouble for that.
Can't be doing that. We got our next little rollins
in rains vignette, Chapter four, their first meeting for money
in the bank, twenty sixteen. You know, it is pretty
crazy to think that the two of them, you know,
when the Shield was broken up and he planted the
chair in Roman's back. That was in June, I believe
of twenty fourteen. It took two years before the two
of them had their first singles match against each other.
That's pretty crazy, but they did, and Rollins he won
back the championship. He said that he never lost, but
only for a moment. No mention of what he meant
by that, no mention of why he only won the
championship for a moment. They conveniently left out the part
where the championship actually went to the third member of
the Shield. All three members of the Shield and one
night held the WWE title. But to watch this you
would never know there was a third member of the Shield.
So anyway, backstage seth, Rollins gets up in Jacob Faughtu's
face and he asked, fo two, you know, if I
win the championship, it's SummerSlam? Do I get you? Is
my is my bag boy? Like you are for Roman?
Then Jacob said, if there's anything left of you after SummerSlam.
I'm gonna beat your ass, but remember he can't put
his hands on him, so there was no physicality here.
We come back from commercial. We got a Paul Hayman
video package where he talked about the dangers of Helena
Sel and he called Oba femi Oba rated said that
brock Lesnar is undefeated inside helen His South. Correct me
if I'm wrong. I mean he is technically correct, but
you know, to hear him talk about this, you would
think that Brock had some sort of great streak going
of just undefeated matches in Helena South. I believe he's
only had two of them, right, I mean it was
the Undertaker one in two thousand and two no Mercy,
and the Undertaker one in twenty fifteen. I'm pretty sure
the only hell of a cell matches he's ever been
in were with the Undertaker, and I think it was
just those two. But he is undefeated. He did win
both of those matches. So then we got yet another
history package on Roman reigns and seth rollins. This one
about the reunion of the Shield. So what was this
was twenty eighteen, twenty eighteen, right, and the two of
them said that it never should have happened. It never
felt right. Roman called it lost time that he can
never get back. It's funny, that's how I felt watching
this television show tonight. We had Dominic Mysterio against Joe
Hendry Domin Lived. They entered first, and then they cut
to a commercial break, and you guessed it, Joe Hendry's
entrance once again relegated to the commercial break. At least
we had the run in earlier in the show. We
had the save. But I was like, as as much
as I know my own name, as soon as they
went to commercial, I said, he's coming out during the
car and he did. He came out during the commercial break.
When they came back. Before they even went to the ring,
they talked about Nick all this and Gunther being made official,
which it was on Sunday yesterday, that was made official
for Armerslam. So then they cut back live to the
arena and Joe Henry is already in the ring and
he's swaying his hands back and forth. They can make
him in that Chad Gable a tag team. You'll have
Chad Gable doing the clap and you'll have Joe Hendry
waving his arms back and forth. And they can win
the world tag team titles. Liv Morgan involved herself here
in this match because she is a manager. Now. Dan Housen,
Dan Housen, there he is again. Dan Housen comes out
to put a curse on Live Morgan, and I'm like,
wait a minute, He's already cursed her before, so you
would think with a double curse it might have the
opposite effect. It might actually uncurse her. I don't know
how that works. I do a lot of cursing, but
not different kind of cursing. I did a lot of
cursing watching this television show tonight, in fact, here in
my house. So he went to go put a curse
on her, and before he could finish the curse, she
decked him and Dan Housen left. After a commercial, redumped
Dom with a fallaway slam. Live then distracted Joe Hendrew,
which allowed Dom to catch him with a tornado DDT
dan Hausen, I swear to God, what did I say
at the beginning of the stream? Minimum four? I think
I actually undercut it. It was five or six times that
this man made appearances here on this show. Dan Hausen
comes out in his dan Housen Mobile or whatever, the
fuck he calls it, and he's got EO Sky with him,
and the two of them are doing this. So now
we have a trio. I just realized we need a
trio in this company. We can get Chad Gable doing this,
we can get Joe Hendry doing this, and we can
get Eo Sky doing this, and then I'll be in
the corner banging my head against the wall over and
over and over again. And then over there you'll have
Jacob Fatu doing that whatever the fuck that is. Everybody
will just lose their minds. There you go, wave your hands,
clap your hands, do whatever this is. So Eo comes
running down. She and Liv Morgan they start going at it.
She throws Live into the ring. She delivers a springboard dropkick.
The referee is now busy with the two ladies. Dan
Hausen sneaks into the ring and he drops Don with
the triple D, which is the dan Hausen death drop,
and so Joe Hendry was able to pick up the win.
And then later on they announced officially for SummerSlam it
will be Dan Housen going one on one with Dominic Mysterio.
And so it continues the main event of this show
was Jacob fought II. This was Fa Tu's first match
on Monday Night Raw one on one with La Knight. First,
La Knight came out to the ring and he cut
up from he said, he's standing here in the Dirty
d just a few weeks from Summer Oh, I just
realized they were in Detroit and Dynamite and Collision are
in Detroit next week the Motor City. I guess the
Motor City is very popular this month for wrestling shows.
But they're in the Dirty D just a few weeks
from SummerSlam, where he Solo Socoa and Royce Keys are
going to team up against the USOS and Jacob fa too.
But Solo Socoa came out here earlier tonight talking about
helping seth Rawlins. After Night told him that it's hard
to trust him. He said, Roman reigns against seth Rollins
at SummerSlam makes him sick. And then we got Chance
from the crowd. He was greeted by Chance of otc
OTC and as he's done before, because he doesn't want
to go completely, heal on the fans. He says, look,
I don't even blame all of you because Roman has
you conned. He basically called the fans a bunch of
dumbasses in so many words, and said that you're being fooled,
You're being hoodwinked by this man. He's coming out here
year after year after year begging for people to like him,
and for years the people booed him year after year
after year until he finally figured things out. Meanwhile, La
Knight walked in the door on day one being exactly
who he is and who he wanted to be. Not
only is he everything that Roman Reigns wanted to be,
He's everything everyone in the back wanted Roman to be
but couldn't. But as much as he can't stand Roman
or Seth, he said, Solo is focused on the wrong thing.
He wants to help Seth Rawlins. He says it's a
bridge too far to go help a cross eyed half
wit like Rolins against the bloodline. So in a minute,
here fa I is going to come out here to
his Mortal Kombat music, and he's going to come test
his might. But whatever he does, he can't stop La
Night and have your little shakes. He's got the cure
he's talking about, you know, the Jacob Fat two shakes.
You can have your little shakes, but he's got the cure,
smacking you back to factory settings and the whole time
he's doing so the soundtrack is going to be the
same all around the world, where everybody's saying La night. Yeah.
So there you go. And look, they gave him quite
a bit of promo time here, which was nice to see.
But Jacob Fatu comes out, they go to commercial, they
come back, they join this match already in progress. This
is the main event of the show, and they join
the match already in progress. Fat two set Night out
to the floor, Dove out onto him, Night Though, whipped
him into the steel steps knees first. Fatu manages to
come back with a samoan drop on the apron, which
doesn't really sound as impressive when I tell you that
was standing on the floor outside when he delivered this
samo and drop on the apron, So basically he just
kind of dumped them backwards on the apron, not as
impressive as if he was standing on the apron and
delivered a samo and drop. So then we got another
break come back and Fatu is in control, goes up
top Night Though is jockeying with him for a position
on the ropes head butt sends La Night crashing down
to the mat. Butt he jumps back up hits the
big superplex. Here comes Jimmy Usso down to the ring
to cheerlead for Fa Tu and he's got his back
to the timekeeper's barrack. He's positioned himself very conveniently for
someone to show up, and that's someone just so happened
to be Solo Socoa. This is the second time that's happened,
by the way, and so Solo Sokoa appears behind him
and he attacks Fa Tu, though takes out Solo with
a suicide dive back inside. He gets caught with a BFT,
but Jimmy distracts the referee. Now Royce Keys appears and
he beats down Uso, tosses him over the announced desk.
Now we hear main event, Jay USO's music. Haven't seen
him in a few weeks. He's been a little busy
with some life stuff. I'm sure TMZ will be all
over it. But he comes out of the crowd and
he delivers a superkick to Royce Keys. Night takes down
Jay with a basement dropkick through the ropes back inside
the FA two nails him with a superkick and then
a pop up, samoe and drop and then comes the
double jump because Fat two hits the ropes to go
for the Mighty Moon Salt and it connects and he
pins La Night one two three. Thanks for coming La.
After the match is over, solo Soakowa, he immediately pounces
on Fa two like, doesn't even give him a chance
to get up. After the three count, Jimmy runs in
to attack him, Jay finishing solo off with a spear.
Royce Keys comes into the ring and he mows both
usos down with a double clothesline. Fat two turns him
around and the two friends they start going at it,
so they're trading shots back and forth, and then Keys
lays him out with a really good spinebuster. Then he
falls though to a one D. Michael Cole couldn't help himself.
He called it a three D. I actually don't blame
him for that. That's what the fucking move is. It's
a three D. But Corey Graves is like, no, no, Cole,
it's a one D, one and done. Yeah, but it
takes three men to do the move. It's a fucking
three D. La Night gets up and Fat two applies
the Tonguan death grip, which I will point out to
you he still has not won any matches with. But
he applies the Tongan death grip and gets him down
in the corner, and that allows each USO and FOT
two to each come in one by one with running
hip attacks, and then Jay finished him off with a
Samoan splash and USO splash off the top rope and
the Bloodline left their opponents laying as they stood in
the center of the ring, pointing their fingers up to
the sky. Stop me. If you've heard this story before,
and that is how Raw went off the air. I
want to say it was ten seventeen PM. I believe
it was almost fifteen minutes early that they went off
the I don't know that I've ever watched an episode
of Raw on Netflix that went off the air fifteen
minutes early. That felt like it was minimum fifteen minutes
longer than it actually was. This was as short of
a Raw episode as we have had in a very
long time, and I felt every minute of it. It
was one of those nights. This was a terrible show.
This was a terrible show in the lead up to
SummerSlam in terms of getting me really excited or interested
in the show any more so than I already was.
It was just a hard show to sit through. It
was fucking boring. It was a boring phone in television show.
You know. Yeah, they were missing some big names, but
you could still have a great show or a fun show,
or an exciting show even if you don't have Roman
Rains on the show or brock Lesnar on the show.
Because let's be honest, if Roman Rains or brock Lesner
are on the show, they're not doing anything. Roman's gonna
come out to the ring. He's gonna cut the same
promo we always hear him cut, and the fans will
sing his name and or chant OTC. He's not gonna wrestle.
Brock Lesnar is gonna be on the show. He's not
gonna wrestle. He's gonna stand there, he's gonna bounce around,
and Paul Hayman will cut the same promo he usually cuts. Right,
talk shit, get hit. Okay. You didn't need them on
the show to have a show that was you know,
that would grab you in some way. So yeah, this show,
this show sucked. I don't know any other way to
put it. This show sucked. Hopefully SmackDown will Be'd be
hard to imagine SmackDown being any worse, but coming out
of what happened at the Summer Slam Off yesterday, would
see him Punk and Cody Rhodes. If we can get
a punkin Cody in ring confrontation on Friday, I think
that would certainly be one way that I would go.
We have to get that segment on SmackDown sometime in
the next two weeks. This week would be as good
as any because now we have tensions truly boiling over
between the two of them. Of the two Summer Selim
main events, that's the one I'm most personally, That's the
one that I'm most interested in. Rollins and Rains I
know are going to have a really good match. I
don't doubt that, But I'm just their history being the
catalyst for this does nothing for me. I don't give
a shit that they were in the Shield fourteen years ago.
I don't give a shit that he cashed in on
him in twenty fifteen. I don't care. I don't give
a shit. Cody and Punk, I've been looking forward to
that match for a very long time. It's a match
we haven't seen before. They've kept them apart. They're trying
to manufacture some tension between them coming out of Saturday.
You know, the belt accidentally hit Cody in the face
when Punk was leaving and all. That's. Yeah, it's a
very thin thing, but you had to have some spark
right to light the fuse. And so now the two
of them are going to beat each other's throats, words
will be exchanged. I think things are going to really
start to get interesting on that front. So I am
looking forward to that on Friday. Like I said, it's
just hard for me to imagine that show is going
to be much worse. But we've seen some terrible fucking
smackdowns this year. I mean, WWE television in general is
just a fucking dumpster fire right now. It's bad. It's bad,
It's very bad. But that was wrong. Rhea's title run
this year was reminding me of when Trish had a
year long title reign in two thousand and five but
was off TV for months. Aren't those the most exciting?
How many times do we get that with Brock when
Brock was a universal champion. That's great TV. Let's put
the belt on someone to elevate the belt, the value
of the belt by putting it on a name and
never have that name on TV. Very exciting. Yeah, well,
that rear run sounds about as good as the Live
Morgan run. Live Morgan's run has been the worst Women's
Championship reign that I've ever seen, at least in the
history of that title. Again, I don't blame her for that.
She's not booking her own stuff, but it is the
single worst rain that I've ever seen. And the quicker
they can transition that belt away from her unto somebody else,
the better. But who's to say they don't do the
same thing with e O a Vo beats her for
the championship? Who's EO going to work with? We didn't
have a single women's match on the show tonight. That's
the state of the division right now now. They did
mention that next week, Rakeel Rodriguez is going to be
challenging soul Ruka for the Intercontinental champ be a chip.
That feels to me like we may be getting the
title change next week, So we're going to get that
on the show next week. But tonight there was nothing. Again,
Lyra Valkyria couldn't even get TV time. Tonight, she was
in an off air segment during the commercials. You know,
I want heal Lyra to succeed, but again, it's important
to get her on the actual television show. I understand
she's not in a match right now at SummerSlam unless
they add something next week. If Bailey makes a big
comeback and they rematch them at Summer Slim, they have
two nights, they'll probably end up with thirteen or fourteen matches,
so you could, I don't know if they would, but
you could do the rematch between her and Bailey on
that show. But to not even have her on the show,
I'm like, that's that's a mistake. You know, now is
the most important time that she should be appearing on
the show and doing stuff. But evidently there was just
not enough room with all the Danausen segments. Without six
dan Housen segments, there was no room for any of
them on the show. So it didn't work out. Let's
think a look at your super chests. I didn't even
mention the dan Housen parade that we had. The other
day they had and it was pouring rain in New
York City and they had this little pathetic parade flow
that they were just pulling down. God, what was that
was that eighth Avenue now thirty fourth Street? It was
Dan Housen in Our Truth, holding their umbrellas in the rain,
and they did that for like an hour in the
lead up to Saturday Night's main event. Right now, it's
all Dan Housen all the time. And look, I'm happy
for all the success that he's having, but he's still
a comedy gimmick. And when you have a comedy gimmick
like that, you have to do it in small doses.
If you begin to overload people on it, that is
when people begin to resent you and they begin to
turn on you. Maybe that's their goal. I don't know.
There is such a thing as too much. Hey Joseph Stewart,
Happy Monday, brother. Yeah, there was a there was a
big trailer I heard that dropped today, Avengers Doomsday. I
will I will say I was very much caught off
guard by that Robert Danny Junior voice. But I guess
for Victor von Doom, I guess it does make sense.
Thank you, brother. Why did Tony Khan or what did
Tony Khan? I think is what he meant? Do to
make people believe in Orange Cassidy and Chris Statlander as
good wrestlers and world champions more than they see speedball
Mike Bailey as world champion. I'm not sure I understand
the question. Orange Cassidy has never been a world champion before,
he's been the international champion. Chris Statlander is a great wrestler,
so not hard to wonder why she's been the AW
Women's World champion. Speedball Mike Bailey not the AW World Champion. Sorry,
there's a lot of people ahead of him in line
right now. Do you think TNA should have continued to
build the company around Raven? No? Do you think Hulk
Cogan would have been a good he Man? No? Do
you think Arnold Schwarzenegger would have been a good Bane
in a Batman movie? Maybe if he was a little younger,
probably could have made that work. Sure, Masters of the
Universe is gonna be on Amazon Prime this Wednesday. Yes,
anybody who wants to check it out on digital, it
will be available on Wednesday. I'm surprised they moved it
to digital so quick, but it bombed at the box office,
so I guess maybe I shouldn't be that surprised. Top
performances in the Odyssey. You know who I was impressed
by in the Odyssey John Leguizamo playing the old blind guy.
I thought he did really well with it. I did.
The one who I was least impressed by was Tom Holland.
It was okay, but I mean there was nothing special
about his performance. Matt Damon was great, and Hathaway was great.
The woman who played Sirce the Witch, she was good anyway, Joseph,
thank you brother. As always the show, an Thethon says,
did you see Odyssey? And if so, what is you?
I talked about it at the beginning of the podcast.
You gotta go check out the sound off from yesterday
right at the top. I enjoyed it very much, and yes,
I did see the trailer. Am I gonna see the movie?
That's a different that's a different story. Apparently it's coming
Is it coming out the same day as Doune three?
I should probably try to see Dune one and two
to see if I like it enough to see Dune three?
Is Dune worth watching? I never saw it. I need
some feedback. I know Dave Batista's in one of them.
Is he in the second one, quizical one. What is
Ron Jeremy's favorite beer? Bush Light expressivpn dot com slash
Sla Monster. It's the only VPN you need, brother. I
use it every week, every stream except except Wednesday. Wednesday,
I just go into HBO Max and I just watched
it Dynamite. But for Ron SmackDown, it is a must.
I actually watched Saturday Night's main event on YouTube. I
use the VPN and watched it on YouTube because internationally
it's on YouTube. And I did that because I was
worried if I watched it on Peacock, I would be
assaulted with the usual stuff. So I'm like, I'll just
watch it on YouTube. Death Sie says, if they need
to add women to the latter match at SummerSlam, then
why not Lyra Valkeria and sol Ruka. Yes, they're on Raw.
But I said once and I'll say it again, what
brand spout? Sure, I have no problem with that. I
think that's fine. They've already established that there are really
no rules that anybody is held to when it comes
to the separation of the rosters. So sure put Lyra
in there, Soul, I mean Soul. Well, do you know what?
Though they have the women's US champion who already qualified.
Stratton's in there, so why not? Why not put her
in there? It's fine by me. Dry Chicken says it
won't happen. It will never happen. But Tom Brady could
be pretty tempted to get in the ring with Logan
Paul since Logan keeps provoking him. Yeah, well, fuck that noise.
Nobody asks for this. Nobody Also Kenny Omega versus Kevin Knight,
I'm predicting a false finish. Kevin Knight holds the world title,
but another referee reverses the decision and restarts the match,
So basically the rock benoit finish from a fully loaded
in two thousand, Death Size says, when Drew McIntyre screwed
Cody Roads out of the elimination chamber, what did Nick
all this do? He gifted Cody a title shot on
the following SmackDown, Well, can you really say he gifted
it to him if he deserved it? The shawnathan Am
I the only one that doesn't like the TKO era
match card graphics for Plees. Summer Slam match card graphics
look so basic. For the second biggest shot brother, there's
a lot that I don't like about this tko era
and the match card graphics are pretty low on the list.
The Sheltered Kid says, a solo settle a bet if
I a free wrestler, is it's smarter to join SmackDown
because the was so ass I could be the best
thing every week or join Raw? Well, I don't know.
I mean Ra's catching up pretty quickly. Raw. I mean
Raw was a big glass tonight. So I still think
SmackDown has Raw licked. I'd say SmackDown ro's playing catchup,
though also twenty years old in college. Only things keeping
me going the weekend, the sound off, the weekend, by
the way he's talking about the group, the sound off,
obsession and fantasizing about Roxane Perez. Am I going places?
You may be going to prison? I mean depending on
how how seriously you take that fantasizing about Roxane Perez.
As long as you're not creepy about it, you may
be going behind bars if you're not careful. Void Mayweather says,
never ending bloodlines slop every week at least introduce some
new element to it. If only there was a new
element to introduce to it, If only cataclysmic ten dollars
super chet joke. Question, with the right amount of zeros
on a check, would you ever sell out to WWE
or AW? What did the million dollar man say many
years ago? Everybody's got a price. You put enough zeros
on the end. There we can have that conversation. Real question,
he says, thoughts on Cham this is a Roman losing
at SummerSlam. Very low. The only reason I leave open
a slight little possibility is because Roman had said months
ago that you got me for the summer, implying that
when the summer is over, he's going to disappear again,
possibly until rumble season, or maybe not even rumble season,
maybe maybe wargame season. But I'm fairly certain the answer
is now. Also, happy belated birthday anniversary and making it
to number one. I've been listening on and off this
past year, but your streams keep me going every morning.
Wishing you the best and thank you, Thank you, cataclusem.
Belated happy birthday, Huh, that's very belated, seeing is how
my birthday is in October. But I appreciate it. Give
me backshots. Solomon Roman equals huge net negative to the
other talent directly made fought to a Lackey indirectly made
bron A Lackey probably will avoid the OBA match at WrestleMania.
If we don't get that match of WrestleMania, then there
are some very interesting political games going on. We'll find
out soon enough. That's gotta be the match of WrestleMania.
B Man the Chant The Icy title match would be
more interesting if Gable had a despicable heel to try
to beat. Maybe he could turn after the match if
he actually wins, and say that it was all a
ruse to get what he wanted. I mean, I I
don't know, to go right back to being a heel.
That would be kind of funny. Actually, if he's like,
fuck all of you, I just wanted to make sure
I got my hands on the title. Mike with a
Ten says I have said this before and I will
say it again. Joyce Keys should be booked so much better.
Joyce Key is that his mom his girlfriend. He should
be SmackDown's version of Ova, not getting laid out by
the tiresome USO's just annoying. Prince begeta sa is seth
Rollins made of any Night two over Punkin Cody is ridiculous.
He's not the star that those two are. That's the
one thing that Roman said was right. Triple H has
always been his work. Daddy overrated as fuck. I agree
as far as like star power in terms of n ring,
I would disagree, But as far as him being a star, absolutely,
he's not at the level of the other three. Nick
Grosso with a nine ninety nine says, my god, the
Judgment Day is such a dead group. They really need
to disband. Also, zero women's matches and they put Eo
Sky with Dan House, and that's how you build a
women's world title match. Brother, they don't know what the
fuck they're doing when it comes to the Women's World Championship.
They are completely out to lunch. This booking is horrendous. Horrendous.
D says, imagine the promos between La Knight and Enzo.
Ashley with a ten. My husband was Junkyard Jeff. He
passed away this Saturday. Oh my god. What's important is
how much he loved listening to this podcast. I can't
thank you for how much entertainment you brought into his life. Ashley,
I'm very sorry to hear that. That is terror. I
don't know all the details and none of my business.
But I'm very sorry to hear that, very happy that
he apparently enjoyed the podcast as much as he did.
That actually makes me feel really good, and I'm glad
he was able to get as much entertainment out of
it as he as he did. I try to to
offer that to the people who listen, but that is awful.
My thoughts are with you. I'm very sorry. Jersey Authentic
says fuck TKO. All my homies hate TKO. You're not
the only one. I've heard that from Eric Joseph. He says,
my mother passed away from pancreatic cancer about three weeks ago,
and the only way I can have any happiness right
now would be spending this evening by hearing your reviews.
And I do enjoy your voice, man, Eric, I am
terribly sorry about your loss. If I may say fuck cancer,
I will say it as loud as I can every
single time. And I know pancreatic cancer is obviously that's
a pretty devastating diagnosis to get. I mean, any diagnosis
is a terrible diagnosis, but that one, in particular, I
know is very difficult to fight. And I know what
that feeling is like to lose your mom to cancer,
and it sucks. It's just the worst feeling. It's the worst.
So if we can bring any happiness to you, however
big or small it may be, I'm very happy to
do so because I know there are some dark days
when something like that happens, and any little bit of
light that you can find, I know that you'll jump
at it. So again, I'm very sorry to hear that.
Arabian Night says Kenny Omega's prediction might actually come true.
We may get Tom Brady against mister Beast at WrestleMania. Man,
this company under TKO is cooked a parody of pro wrestling. Yeah,
I forgot that Omega had said that. That's that's very scary. Yeah.
Here's the thing like WWE, their infatuation with celebrities is
nothing new. The first WrestleMania was built on celebrity involvement.
That show doesn't succeed without it. Without Cindy Lauper and
mister t that show is not a success or at
least not the success that it was. So we can't
pretend like celebrities being involved in WWE is some new phenomenon.
But the difference is like when they would do it previously,
there was usually like a good reason for it. Even
when they brought in lt in ninety five, like business
was not great, and they paid him a lot of money.
It was said to be in the range of half
a million dollars to come in and do a wrestling match,
and I'm sure he probably could have used the payday
at the time, and they were just trying to drum
up interest in a show that otherwise felt dead because
the company in ninety five, business wise was dead. So
even something like that, you can understand why he would
have wanted to take a shot. You know what I mean,
I'm bringing in a celebrity to do something on that show.
Tyson in ninety eight demonstrably important, demonstrably made a difference
in that company was bringing Tyson in. But it's this
usage of them and this over reliance on them, and
it's almost like, hey, look at me, we're so cool mainstream.
It's it's pathetic. It's it's really pathetic. It's this over
abundance of it every single week, every single show, the
influencers and the celebrities and the musicians, and it's not
even just showing them in the crowd. It's bringing them
into the show. And I said this when it came
to the Pat McAfee and the jelly roll stuff, I said, like,
WWE has turned into fantasy camp. Anybody who wants to
come in and play pretend wrestler for a day gets
to do it. You know as a kid, when I
was younger, Oh man, that would have been that would
have been so fucking cool, right, But like it's this
constant stream of like, Hey, this person's gonna come in
and do this on this show, and we're gonna have
so and so is gonna be in this guy's corner,
and this person's gonna wrestle a match. For every bad
bunny who goes in there and has a great match,
you get like five or six other people, And I'm like,
why why are they on my television? Like what is this?
There used to be a show on MTV called Celebrity Deathmatch.
This WWE has basically become like a real life version
of that. It really is. It's like fantasy camp. This
is a it's a very different. It's just not the same.
The product is not I don't recognize what this product is.
I don't know what this product. In twenty twenty six
is supposed to be. It's not a pro wrestling show.
I don't know. It's become some weird hybrid mix of
like a bunch of different things, and I'm not sure
what it is, but it ain't it. It's not great.
Whatever it is, it's not great, Phil says Hi Solo
around what year do you think the honeymoon face started
ending for Triple H? Honestly, after Cody finished his story
twenty twenty four, EJ Slam Brewers and Mets tonight was
a blast, Miss Pitcher, not shitty wrestler. What's amazing? Saw?
Keith Hernandez an American family field is a jam? Yes, but
you did not answer the most important question, who won?
Or should I even ask? The average grunt? Birthday boy
popping in to say hello, all the best, Well, happy birthday,
average grunt. Now go back to enjoying your birthday and
living it up and not watching Monday Night Raw Monday
Night Bore. Brian h De Green Boy with a ten,
says what's up, Solo. I was at the show tonight.
It was a lot more fun being there live than
it would have been watching it on TV, for sure,
especially with Punk being on SmackDown now and no Roman appearance. Yeah,
they really short changed you guys, didn't they. In the
last few weeks on Raw, we've had Roman and Brock
and Cody and Punk. You didn't have any of them
tonight unless there was a dark match. The Mets lost.
Grass is green, the sky is blue, and water is wet.
Thank you for the update, Venom Kitetsu again with that
sixty nine drop man. That was a long time ago.
How many of these do we have? I already read
that message, but I want to say thank you again.
I appreciate that medium Ugly lad, what's up? Solo Raw?
Once again proving to me that the only good wrestling
shows I've been to this year are Hog and Stardom.
I left Saturday Nights Made Event early because of the
New York Knicks Galazing. Oh. I did read that one earlier,
but it was so good I had to read it again.
You mean you left during the main event. Put that
in air quotes the main event Met's loss to the
Brewers eight to three. I thought it would be worse.
Phil Hi Solo start bench cut Eo Sky, Stephanie Viquer,
Roxanne Perez also Maxine Dupre sucks she needs to go away,
start bench and cut. Well, I'm gonna start EO, I'm
going to bench Stephanie, who's bench now anyway, and I'm
gonna cut rock sand Since you're forcing me, you're forcing
my hand. I don't want to cut anybody, but you're
forcing me. So Barry MK, thank you again again. I
read that one earlier. Thank you for the learning tree,
the average grunt. Thank god. I don't watch a WW
anymore because if I had to watch a rass centered
around Dan Housen on my birthday, I would quit life.
On the spot, well, it's a little extreme. Let's not
be quitting life now. He means his wrestling life is
what he would be quitting. Prince Begeta says, I know
you don't like Mount Rushmore lists, but what's your Mount
rush what's your Mount Rushmore? For directors, Uh, well, Nolan
is on mine. Nolan is definitely on mine. Uh, Scorsese, Spielberg,
maybe Michael Mann. Honestly, yeah, I'm very excited. Heat two
is in development and they're attaching a lot of big
names to it. I know. I think I think Christian Bale,
DiCaprio and uh and there are others too. But yeah,
and of course, and again this is not in any
particular order here. How can I forget the man himself,
John Carpenter. I am a horror fan. I am a
Carpenter guy. He's got to be on the list. Put
him wherever you want. Alex Garcia with a twenty dollars
super chat. I was finally watching the Obsession movie before
Raw tonight as I ate a Deli sandwich. Bad idea.
Well what's the verdict, Alex, what's the verdict on cat?
You have to let us know, red Emissary of Darkness.
What's worse? Bloodline Vortex or the Jericho Vortex? Oh man,
ah boy, Well, the Bloodline Vortex was actually quite great
for a while there, so I'm gonna say the Jericho
Vortex was worse. Super Pony. I agree with Prince Vajeta.
I'll never take away from Seth how good he is
in the ring. What was the last time his character
was compelling? He might be the most overpushed wrestler of
this era. I don't know that his character has ever
been compelling. There's nothing about Rollin's and his character and
his persona on TV that's ever compelled me, you know,
I can appreciate the great matches that he's had. What
he's doing now is not compelling. When he was with
the Vision, that wasn't compelling. When he was coming out dressed,
you know, wearing his wife's clothes, that was not compelling.
I guess maybe it's going back to, honestly, probably the
shield and maybe the initial period when he you know,
went with the authority and helped break up the shield,
that was probably it. Compelling is not a word I
would use to describe Seth Rowland's on TV. It's just
not Bucky freaking Dent. Thoughts on the steroid era of baseball? Also,
what is your favorite home run derby? I don't think
I have a specific year. The steroid era of baseball
is a legendary. It was a lot of fun. It
wasn't as fun after they got the juice out. I'm
just saying, I'm sure they're hopefully all healthier now. But
when you have look, it's very much like pro wrestling
in that regard. So when steroids were running wild, brother,
and you know, fucking eighty five percent of the guys
were doing it, that came during a period of wrestling that, Yeah,
I grew up on, So of course I'm always going
to have a fondness for it because that was the
era became a fan in. But the personalities were just
I mean literally you would look at them on screen
and they were so much more colorful, but just like
the promos were so much more entertaining, and the personalities
were larger than life. Not just the bodies fucking monsters
and giants. Wrestling. Wrestling was just they're just better the matches. Look,
that's the trade off, right, So if you're someone who's
big on work rate and you know in ring, obviously
you're gonna find a lot of great wrestling these days.
And the style of wrestling is just a lot more
fast paced. It's a lot more manic than it was
back then. But wrestling back then felt like pro wrestling.
If we're talking WWE, I don't know what this WWE
product now is supposed to be. I don't know what
the accurate term would be to really even call it,
because it's not really wrestling in the way that I
knew wrestling to be. It's different. So the steroid era
of baseball was a lot of fun to watch as
a fan, as was the steroid era of wrestling. Not
that there aren't people that who aren't doing steroids, but
it was certainly more bountiful back then. It was it was,
it was peak. It was peak baseball. There are people
who don't want to admit it, but it was. And
Nick Grosso WWE should take notes from Hog on how
to book women's title matches. The Shatzi Blackhart Steph de
Lander build was better than any WWE women's matches that
they tried to book. Well, the thing about the independency,
you know, so you got to keep in mind is
that you have a lot more freedom to do certain
things that you want to incorporate into your storyline that
they may not have, you know, on WWE television for example,
that helps the creativity flows more. Also when you're on
the independency and there's a lot more collaboration. I don't
disagree with you though, that was a very heated feud.
I can remember being in the back of an ambulance
in fact, after Shatzi was attacked backstage and had a
whole conversation with her and she demanded that I'm going back.
I'm going out there, I have a match, then I'm
going out there and fuck Steph de Lander, and I
tried to get her to stay in the ambulance, and
she just threw the ice pack at me and she
left the ambulance. And I just was sitting there in
the back of the ambulance, wondering, did I how did
I get here? How did I get to this point
in my life? I'm sitting alone here in an ambulance
with an ice pack in my hand. Oh man. But
that's the way it goes, right, That's how it goes. Hey,
you know what you should do? Because the next House
of Glory show we're going to be streaming at it's
one of our biggest shows the year. We're gonna be
streaming it live on YouTube for the first time. It
is the Friday after Summer Slim, the SmackDown after Summer
Slim that night, fuck SmackDown. You should all tune into HOG.
It'll be a much better show, or at least do
the two screen experience. But my goal is to deliver
a show that is going to be more enjoyable than
SmackDown will be. I know it's a low bar, but
that's my goal. So we got one round to be
the booker coming to us and on the likes. We
are at five point fifty one. The wheel said we
needed five fifty. We have one like more than the goal.
So we are guaranteed two rounds of be the Booker tonight,
and we're seven out of ten on the bonus. We
only need three more and we may get three rounds.
I'm gonna leave that up to you, guys. Let's get
started on the first round. It's time. I'm gonna whisper this. Okay,
look around, make sure nobody can hear me. It's time
to be the booker. Ladies and gentlemen, it is now
time to be the booker. I don't know why I'm
whispering watching you sleep. It's so cute when you sleep.
All right, here we go round number one. Look at that.
Sarah has the right idea. I will be watching Hjog
instead of SmackDown. So watch now. WWE now is going
to counter program House of Glory. They're gonna suddenly they're
gonna they're gonna schedule a b cruise show the same night.
The Raw crew is gonna be running a show somewhere
in New york'st to counter program us like they do
aaw all right, tag team, be the Booker we have. Well,
this is quite the image considering where we are here
in twenty twenty six, Edge and Christian with their tag
team titles and this this, I can tell this is
from SummerSlam. SummerSlam two thousand, twenty six years later, they
are the tag team champions. They look very different. All
that hair is gone. Christian Christian. Honestly, Christian still pretty
much looks the same as he did when he first
came into aaw For some reason, Copeland, it looks like
he aged like ten years and two. I don't know.
I don't know what it is. He's a lot more
grizzled now than he was even when he first came in.
He aged very quickly, very rapidly. Christian pretty much still
looks the same as he did a few years ago.
All right, here we go, Edge and Christian is going
to be putting those tag belts on the line against
So we got more belts. We got Miz and Big
Show Miss. Okay, see I know they have a name,
show Mis. Is it show Mis? We just went through
this a few weeks ago. What the fuck was their name?
I think it was show Miz. Yeah, not interested? Not interested?
That may be an unpopular decision, but that gets the
buzzer from me. I'm going to do with triple H
was terrified of doing tonight. I'm going to book a
women's match. We've got Becky Lynch, who is not on
the Summer Slam card this year. Oh my goodness, we
just hit the bonus bonus, the double bonus. We have
not one, not two, but three rounds of be the
Booker coming to you here. Let's let a hearty cheer.
It was Chicago for MBK who got us over the home.
Chicago for MBK clinched it, so we got a lot
more be the booker to come. Oh my, Becky Lynch,
who is Becky Lynch? Gonna be mixing it up with
who was that? Who was that of the chat Karate
chop Shop? You popped me. That's that's the line of
the night right there. I couldn't figure out, you know,
Missing Big Show. I couldn't figure out what the name was,
and I think it was I think it was Miss
Show and he goes shit Show and I'm like, how
did I not think of that? That's exactly what that
team was. Shit show. Egend Christian against shit Show. Yes,
it still gets a buzzer. Becky Lynch is gonna be
wrestling hmm, Dana Brook, Man, come on, man, come on,
where are the big matches. I'm trying to book a
card here that people are gonna want to pay to see.
I'm gonna have to get shit Show back out here.
Gangrel is watching you masturbate. Spin again. This is this
is It's one of those nights, and be the booker.
I don't I don't know what to say. I don't
know what to say. We go from shit show today
Brook to Gangrell masturbating. This has been quite It's a
good thing. We have two more rounds to go because
this is a lost cause at this point, so we
will try try again. Here we have demon Balor, who
is definitely not watching you masturbate. I don't think so. Anyway,
demon Ballor is going to be in our main event.
Is it going to be pin Balor? Depends on who
he's wrestling. Oh, he's definitely going to be pin Balor.
That's the damn sure, demon Balor against brock Lesnar. You know,
damn well, it ain't going any other way but pin Balor.
All right, So now what we are going to do
here is move on to round number two of three.
And those of you who have been around for a while,
you know that in the later rounds we picked stipulations
which were recently refreshed. So we're gonna see what we
land on here. We're gonna find out what kinds of
matches we're gonna be having our for Fox. You fucking
kidding me with this? You know when I said that
be the booker was on one tonight, I was hoping
to leave that in the first round. I really was.
And now we open this round with a Punjabi prison match,
not the way that I wanted to start round number two.
I'm gonna do something that Triple H is terrified of doing.
I'm going to book a women's Punjabi prison He would never,
he would never, But I'm going to ooh, some Kong
former TNA knockout. You know what, if there was anybody
who would probably excel in a match like this, it
would be awesome Kng because she gets her opponent trapped
inside a cage. That's not a place that you want
to be looking across the ring from her in a
Punjabi prison match. I wouldn't want to do that. Wow, Now,
how's that? For a match Awesome Kong against Sherri Martel
in a Punjabi prison match. Two tough ladies. See that.
I dig that. I have to give a bell to that.
How can I not? Our next match is going to
be a Lions then match. We've had quite a few
of these lately. We had we had one just the
other night. We had Allions that match. So we'll keep
it to the There's got to be a singles match,
so we'll keep it to the men. We may have
to skip the tag teams here for this round. But
let's see here we have a lions Den with the
British Bulldog Davy boy Smith entering the cage. Get that
drum roll, Get that drum roll, British Bulldog against the
tribal chief Roman Reigns. Looks like the bulldog is going
to fall. It looks like the monarchy is going to
fall to the bloodline, the monarchy falls to the dynasty
and our main event. Oh okay, I think be the
booker has made its choice of which stipulation it likes
the most. Really loves this Lions then match. We have
our second Lions Then match of the night. Holy shit,
are you kidding me? With this. What is the obsession
with lions? The Lions then, I feel like I've booked
four of these in the last week, talking about running
a stipulation into the ground. Ricky the Dragon's steamboat. Oh
he can make any match work. Look at him blowing
that fire. Cav says Michael call the bulldog against the
big dog. Oh my god, that's nauseating. It's nauseating that
I could hear his voice in my fucking head, the
bulldog against the big Dog. No Michael cole call will
ever be more cringe inducing to me. I mean, for
all the big dogs and the Boss times and everything else,
nothing will ever be as cringe worthy to me as
the call that he made in the Latin not the
latter mess the hell in a Cell match and WRESTLEMANI
at thirty two between the Undertaker and Shane McMahon, when
Shane McMahon came diving off the top of the cell
and Michael Cole is on camera after Shane lands, we
could see him literally reading from a script for the
love of Mankind. I'm like, dude, I wanted to crawl
into a ball like I had secondhand embarrassment from listening
today so forced and fake and insincere, and he had
to read it from a fucking script. And that's what's
wrong with WWE. And that was how many years ago
I was ten years ago now, for the love of mankind,
Ricky the Dragon Steamboat against William Regal in a lions
Den match. Hell yeah, I wonder if those two ever
wrestled in I think they did when they were in
WCW together, like ninety four ish. I don't know. I
wonder if they ever wrestled. Yeah, it's all Vince, but
so what Cole was the one delivering it. It was
fucking cringe inducing. Nothing I said was a lie. Everything
I said was accurate. Yes, I understand he's doing his job.
It doesn't make his It doesn't make it any better.
Still sucks, all right, Round number three good thing. We
have that third round coming our way. Hopefully no Punjabi
prisons here. It's the amazing goom oh god, Jerry Lawler
loves gumhar the magnificent all hell goomfar he is back.
Oh my god. TMH. Solo Prince says, I that law
and order stuff a while back had me crying laughing.
I bet it did, TMH. Thank you another fifty dollars.
Gundhar drop the fifty and the fifty, combining for one
hundred dollars. Bomb Man. He is solidifying the top spot tonight.
Look at all that magenta. I love it. I love it,
and Mike, thank you for the five men. Mike Witt
dropping some more love. You'd love to see it. I
love to see this third round two. I love to
see this. It is going to be a boiler room brawl,
and I love that because I have a soft spot
in my heart for the stipulation. I really enjoyed that
boiler room brawl from Summer Slim in nineteen ninety six.
It's a personal favorite of mine. Paul Behar turning on
the Undertaker at the end of that match. But it
started in the boiler room, and they had to work
their way out of the boiler room and into the arena,
and they taped the boiler room or the whole backstage
portion of that match. I think the day before. I
believe either earlier in the day or the day before.
I think the day before. Then they just came out
live as if the whole thing was done live, and
if I remember correctly, I think Undertaker worked that match
with a staph infection in his elbow. So anyway, boiler
room brawl. Hmm, go with the men, Abyss. Perfect stipulation
for Abyss. I could totally see him in a boiler
room brawl. It's just it works. It works right, it
works so well. I have a good feeling about this card.
I think this card's gonna really, this card's gonna sell
out the joint. Abyss it a boiler room brawl against
the beast mortoas oh man, beast mortos Man. This guy's
been dealing with visa issues. We haven't seen him, and
I feel like I haven't seen him in months. I'm
sure Mercedes has though Abyss and the beast morteos Man
starting in the boiler room and that those guys are
gonna go nuts. That's gonna be great, low key man,
that's gonna be great. And do you know that Abyss
and the beast Mortals have more in common than you
would think. Abyss has a brother who's a lawyer. The
beast Morteo's happens to be a lawyer. Yeah. See, there's
a common tie the binds there. All right, we go
from a boiler room brawl to a hell in a cell.
You know what I'm thinking? No, never mind, I had
a thought, but I'm gonna not do that. We're gonna
have a women's hell in a cell match. Change it
up a little bit, Frank the lawyer, Yes, that's right,
Frank the lawyer against against Joseph park Esquire, All right,
women's helling a cell with Stephanie McMahon Helmsley. Yes, that
is the Women's Championship over her shoulder, a former women's champion,
Stephanie McMahon in a hell and a cell match. Oh boy,
against Oscar? Who wouldn't want to see Oscar just murdering
Stephanie McMahon inside the hell in a cell, picking her apart,
limb from limb, showing her what real graps is all about.
Oscar will show the way and this is it. It
all comes down to this, the final match of the evening,
the true main event. We need a good stipulation for this,
one last man standing. Look at Triple H's hair. His
hair is going one way, his body is going another.
In this image. I noticed, by the way, at the
Summer Slim kickoff yesterday he's growing his hair back. Did
you notice that he or at least he's trying to.
He's starting to grow his hair back. Well, since it's
last man standing, I guess we have to start with
the men. John Cena in a last man standing? Was
John Cena ever in a great memorable last man's standing match?
Let's see. I don't know, well the match with Umaga
was last man standing? Or was that? I quit? No,
it was last man's stand No, wait, maybe he was
now I think it was last man standing? Right? The
Royal Rumble match? Oh seven? Is it? Oh seven? Six?
Oh seven? I don't remember anyway, John Cena last man's
standing match, it's not important. Oh my god, someone mentioned
him earlier. It's man Tar who mentioned Mantar earlier? Holy shit?
Look at this John Cena against Mantar and a last
man's standing match, which is impossible for Mantar to win
because he's only half man. He's half man half Tar,
so therefore he's not truly a man. So how can
one win a last man standing match when one is
not truly a man? Look at this fucking thing. You're
gonna tell me that wrestling today is not as good
as it was back then? And look at that image
right there? Are you fucking kidding me. That's right, that's right,
Mantar getting the rub, that's right. We got man. We
didn't get him in super Chat for me. We got
Mantar tonight. Damn it. It's going to be eating an
attitude adjustment, is what he's going to be eating. Yeah,
believe that. Oh wait, were we done? Was that our
main event? And fuck it? We'll do one more match?
Why not? I don't even know what I'm talking about.
We'll do what. We're getting a bonus match here. Look
at that, you're getting bonus wrestling here on this card.
I don't give a shit. We're doing one more of course.
Of course, of course we should have ended on that.
We should have ended on John Cena and Mantar. And
now we have to book a Kennel from Hell match.
Where's the British Bulldog when you need him? We already
booked him the Bulldog and a Kennel from Hell match
would kind of makes sense. Oh my god, Kennel from Hell. Yeah,
Jersey Authentic is really excited about this. Oh next, Spin
is the guest referee, So we are gonna have a
This is like putting a hat on a hat. We
have a stipulation within a stipulation, We're gonna have a
special guest referee for the Kennel from Hell match. So
let's find out who our referee is. Gonna be solo
doing a Tony con over booking tonight, So then we're
gonna have a twenty three minute overrun. Is that what
you're saying? Adam Pierce says that Be the Booker uh
is hereby suspendered? Oh my, you know, you know, I
actually think that's a mercy killing. I see that as
a mercy killing. I think Be the Booker just knew
and it knew that it was time to put this
to an end. Yes, yes, Adam Pierce saved us from
the kennel. Thank you. Adam Pierce finally made a a
good decision. Well that was certainly one of the be
the Bookers of all time. A very interesting addition, super
Pony says, is Obsession better than any Halloween sequel? Yeah?
Of course, Oh you mean all of them? Or just
any of them? There's lots of Halloween sequels. It's better then.
I mean, look, the original Halloween is still you know,
it's in rarefied air. Obsession is better than most, if
not all, of the Halloween sequels like. It's just a
great concept, great acting. I love the way it shot,
the lighting, the music, score, like all of it. It's great,
fucking love it. Favorite movie of the year. Prince Begeta
with a four ninety nine. Being a constant on WWE
television since twenty twenty two, are you surprised they haven't
pulled the trigger on a Logan Poll world title run yet.
I don't know if I'm surprised. I think at some
point he will hold a world title in this company,
but he really only signed on as a full time
guy within the past year, and I think that maybe
they were waiting until he made more of a commitment.
Now that he has, I mean, he's injured now, but
now that he has, it certainly opens up the possibility
of that happening a lot sooner. So I'm not surprised.
I do still think it's gonna happen at some point.
Mike says, what pisses me off more than the bloodline
is that these moron fans keep cheering for them when
they are clearly the heels in this story. Get a clue, people, Yeah,
they're chanting OTC over every LA Night promo they cheer
La Night, except when he disses Roman and then they
chant otc otc EJ says, Ridley Scott's my favorite director.
At his best, he's in all time grade at his worst,
absolute disasters. Is he in your top ten? I don't know,
probably not. I don't have a ranked top ten, so
I can't say for sure if he is. Maybe he's
on the bottom part of it. Why do some people
defend Barry Bonds because quote, everyone used steroids, but call
Lance Armstrong a fraud when cycling was just as doped.
I mean there were people out there who will trash
both of them equally. I mean I can't speak to
the people who defend one and out the other, probably
because one one is their favorite and the other isn't,
or on one was one was an asshole? Actually, I
mean they both kind of had a referre be in
an asshole. But it's funny to look at Bonds now though. Look,
he's one hundred pounds, so can what Our prince just
bought my tickets to High Intensity, taking a date who
has never been to a wrestling show. Hopefully she enjoys.
I think she'll love it. High Intensity, baby h O
g Hog. I think the first four rows are sold out.
I don't know if we're adding a fifth, but general
admission is still available. It's gonna be a packed, packed house.
It's gonna be on YouTube, is going to be packed
in the building. I can't wait. August seventh, Hat of
Discipline again, Thank you for the thirty dollars. Mento drop
always puts a smile on my face. Mike says, you
want to make Oba into a superhuman babyface, have him
destroy Brock like Brock destroyed Sena in twenty fourteen. And
why do they keep trying to get Austin theory over.
It's not happening. Yeah, it's not happening. I don't know
that destroying Brock in Minneapolis, though, is going to be
the right move, because I don't know what the reaction
is going to be. It's probably going to be pretty
favorable to Brock when he comes out, and so they
may not react kindly to that. If you're trying to
create some super over babyface, maybe don't do that in Minneapolis.
Just a suggestion, UH reconson with fifty six months of
channel membership, can't believe I turned thirty today. WWE needs
to hurry up on what night Brock is so I
can get my ticket. Lol. Yeah, they still haven't mentioned
who's on what night. We still don't have dates for
WrestleMania next year. We know what month it's going to be,
we still have no dates for WrestleMania. It's July. That's insane,
bred Heart with fifty two months solo monster whispering wrestling
promos solos ASMR? Should I be doing ASMR content with
that good views on YouTube? Would that speed me up
to one hundred thousand subscribers? Because I'm on the cusp
of ninety three, I'm not getting there fast enough. Should
I do ASMR content? Raw was total garbage tonight? Just
a terrible, terrible show. I didn't feel anything watching this
show tonight, very very bad, super pony. Am I crazy
to say the current product is worse than twenty eighteen
to early twenty twenty two. The shows were awful back then,
but at least I felt something. I don't know what
it was, but it was something. I feel dead inside
watching these shows. I can't say it's worse than COVID
because that will always be the worst to me. I mean,
there were aspects of that era that were fun, like
when they did some cinematic stuff. But wrestling in front
of nobody is just like, I have no desire to
ever go back and rewatch that stuff like that stuff
has no replay value to me whatsoever. You gotta have
fans in the building. I can't say this is worse
than that, but whatever they're doing now, man, it is
just it's fucking awful. It's just hard to sit through.
It just feels so empty, like a shell. You crack
it open, there's nothing inside. Darth Panic. With fifty months
of membership, thank you all the new members that have
signed up. And we had a bunch of gifted ones
over the last few weeks where you could always gift
memberships as well. They get us signed randomly, but that
helps the channel out and probably puts a smile on
someone's face that they wake up and they're like, holy shit,
I got a green name on the channel. Somebody gifted
me a membership, I got an icon of badge next
to my name. Now I got a skull can make
their day. E J Slamp The worst Michael Cole call
will always be. I forgot about that one box like structure.
Oh my god, WrestleMania thirty seven. Yes, that I think
I ranted on that in my review. I'm like, yeah,
he called it a it's a box like structure. I'm like, yeah,
you know what that is. It's a fucking box OURDH.
Why isn't TNT on your channel? No offense to him,
it's his show. I mean it's our show technically, but
created on that channel. That's where it belongs. Devin says,
could Vince Russo pull off ASMR? Absolutely not, Super Pony
pray for Chad and Penta's match to not be on ESPN.
I'm pretty sure that's not going to be one of
the matches that they will put on ESPN. Can't say
for sure, but I'm pretty sure. I wouldn't be shocked
if they wanted to open Night two with the Hell
and a Cel between Oba and Brock on ESPN. In fact,
I'm almost positive they're going to want Oba and Brock
on ESPN. So take your pick on which night, and
they probably open with it because if they're going to
close with the championship matches, it's all about you either
open or you close. If you're not on last, ye're
on first. I've heard Paul Hayman say that before I
would think Helen a Sale is going to open up
maybe night two, and Mike says, my Brewers beat your Mets, sorry,
so they have nothing to apologize for. The Mets are
fucking terrible, and I think that I think I got
through all of them. I think that's all the messages.
You guys killed it tonight. I love it. Three rounds
of be the Booker, a lot of great messages and questions,
but I think the line of the night has to
be has to be Shit Show as the real name
of the big show Miz Tag Team. That is just priceless.
I love that. Speaking of TNT, I will be live
with jd Over on his channel tomorrow night for a
brand new installment of Tuesday Night Titans. But before that,
earlier in the evening, a new episode will be dropping
of the Uncrowned Wrestling Show, so talking some of the
key news of the week, fallout from Saturday nights, made
event redemption predictions, and then a bunch of stuff that
was not covered on the sound off. Sure I'll get
some news on Seamus as well, and a few other
things to dive into there. So that will be the
Tuesday Shows and then the next time I'm live on
this channel with you will be the Dynamite Post Show
on Wednesday. We missed Dynamite Live last week. We should
be back in the saddle again on Wednesday, so that
is where I will see you guys. Hopefully I'll see
you all over the channel this week. I got other
content going up to including tomorrow. Be well, stay safe,
Thank you for all the love and support. Hit that
like button on your way out. Let's get this into
the algorithm so other people can tune in, and I'll
be back with you on Wednesday for the Dynamite Post Show.
Until then, take care, guys.
