Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, making her wait till the mic
Speaker 1: they started dimming the lights.
Speaker 2: You started feeling all right from Birmingham home with the
Speaker 2: teddy lungs and the room and studies more once you
Speaker 2: discovered Paul rather than lovers, Whitney Houston and Roman Reigns
Speaker 2: all of the lovers, Mickey James and Mark j all
Speaker 2: of the lovers.
Speaker 1: It Sasa Banks, You're number day silk signing. Can page

Speaker 1: bars just to make you all aware. So sit bad, relax,
Speaker 1: enjoy the show. You know why go by Joe what
Speaker 1: the wrestle.
Speaker 3: Yea Hey, y'all, Welcome, Welcome, Welcome to a new episode
Speaker 3: of the Party Wrestling Podcast with the Girl Stephanie Hardy.
Speaker 3: I know I did say that the show was supposed
Speaker 3: to start earlier, but I needed to push you back
Speaker 3: because I needed some quality time with my best friend.
Speaker 3: Shout out to Cinnamon, I love you so much. I
Speaker 3: just wanted to talk to her. But before I get
Speaker 3: started with the show, thank you guys so much for
Speaker 3: all of your love and all of your support throughout
Speaker 3: the year. Because it's December, we have reached the end
Speaker 3: of the year. Guys. What a world win that we
Speaker 3: have gone through in just this one week in professional wrestling.
Speaker 3: But of course I'm here to talk to you about it.
Speaker 3: So of course, if you're watching live tonight on any
Speaker 3: one of the platform's YouTube, Twitter, anything else, Facebook, any YouTube,
Speaker 3: all the things, thank you so much for watching live,
Speaker 3: And of course as the conversation continues to go you
Speaker 3: can comment and your comments might wind up on there.
Speaker 3: We have backstage bro watching from x slash Twitter saying
Speaker 3: hey hey, thank you so much for watching, and of
Speaker 3: course chime in as the subjects continue to go on. So, yeah,
Speaker 3: this week has been absolutely and I would not be
Speaker 3: myself if I did not come before y'all and address
Speaker 3: everything that's happening. So of course we are going to
Speaker 3: start with blah blah blah. What are we gonna start with?
Speaker 3: We're gonna start with news and gossip Fish, And there
Speaker 3: is something that I wanted to just take some time
Speaker 3: to highlight a little bit. AJ Francis, mister Man, is
Speaker 3: having a TNA World Championship match up against Nick Nick Nemuth. Now,
Speaker 3: for those who might not remember who Nick Nemoth is,
Speaker 3: he was Dolph Ziggler in WWE for a very very
Speaker 3: long time. At one point he was one of the
Speaker 3: longest tenured wrestlers in WWE before they released him, I
Speaker 3: believe last year. But since then he has been going
Speaker 3: on an absolute tear throughout the wrestling landscape, even going
Speaker 3: to TNA and becoming their World Champion. So big shout
Speaker 3: out to Nick Neemath for that. And AJ Francis actually
Speaker 3: has a match against him for the title at Final
Speaker 3: Resolution next Friday, December and thirteenth, And I think that
Speaker 3: is just so amazing for someone who was teased endlessly
Speaker 3: and for someone who you know, struggled with a lot privately,
Speaker 3: it's just really good to see people like that get
Speaker 3: amazing opportunities. I hope that he continues to just grow
Speaker 3: more and more as a wrestler as he's in TNA
Speaker 3: and get more opportunities like this, because he was always
Speaker 3: a really cool big man that I liked in hit
Speaker 3: Row with the whole rapping thing, Like, I actually liked that,
Speaker 3: so when they fell apart, I was just like, dang,
Speaker 3: that's really unfortunate. But I'm just really happy to see
Speaker 3: everyone from that group doing their own thing now and
Speaker 3: just sort of revamping themselves to a degree. And AJ
Speaker 3: Francis is definitely one of those people, so I just
Speaker 3: wanted to give a shout out to him just to
Speaker 3: get stuff started. We miss you stuff, hope all as well. Yeah,
Speaker 3: everything is doing fine and I miss y'all too. I
Speaker 3: gotta get back to New York at some point, but yeah,
Speaker 3: big ups to AJ Franc's win or lose. You are
Speaker 3: a champion and I am so happy for that. Backstage
Speaker 3: Brawl is also saying TNA has been a safe haven
Speaker 3: for stars to get eyes on them. I'm just like,
Speaker 3: why don't they go to a Why don't they go
Speaker 3: to AW more often? Well, I don't know, it's just
Speaker 3: a personal choice, but honestly, TNA is a safe haven
Speaker 3: for wrestlers, and I do believe it should be talked
Speaker 3: about on the same level as an AEW because they've
Speaker 3: just been so good and so substantial for so long
Speaker 3: and stood the test of time. They deserve more flowers
Speaker 3: for how they maintain, especially for their knockouts division. So
Speaker 3: I'm really excited for aj Franc's rising and so many
Speaker 3: other wrestlers finding their groove over there in TNA and
Speaker 3: making an impact. See what I did there. Further in
Speaker 3: news and gossip Fish, we have mistrist Stratus, that ww
Speaker 3: Hall of Famer, Toronto's greatest export and justin all around
Speaker 3: beautiful diva making people's heartbeat on social media this week
Speaker 3: because she was on the cover of a fitness magazine
Speaker 3: and the name escapes me right now, but with these
Speaker 3: viral pictures of her, everybody was just losing their mind
Speaker 3: because for a woman who is a little bit older
Speaker 3: than she was when she started out in wrestling, and
Speaker 3: of course, you know, became a champion and all of
Speaker 3: the above, she still is a smoke show. Miss ma'am
Speaker 3: really set the internet on fire with these pictures. So
Speaker 3: many men were saying, man, doctor Umar is not even
Speaker 3: a real doctor because of these pictures. Like I feel
Speaker 3: like a lot of these female wrestlers come out with
Speaker 3: these pictures that just make me feel so bad for
Speaker 3: eating fries like at any point in time, because I'm
Speaker 3: just like, man, why and why y'all gotta do this
Speaker 3: to me? But yeah, Tris is Trish Stratus is mother
Speaker 3: and a lot of people have been saying that all week.
Speaker 3: She is such a beautiful woman and she has a
Speaker 3: beautiful spirit as well to match how gorgeous she is
Speaker 3: as a woman, and I just wanted to take some
Speaker 3: time to just appreciate all of her beauty. But she
Speaker 3: also made an appearance and did a couple of interviews
Speaker 3: because this week and today as it stands, it's the
Speaker 3: twentieth anniversary of her main eventing Monday Night Raw for
Speaker 3: the very first time with Lyda for the WWE Women's Championship,
Speaker 3: and that of course made a lot of history and
Speaker 3: set the president for a lot of women's wrestlers to
Speaker 3: main event Raw as SmackDown and of course NXT as
Speaker 3: a regular occurrence in WW. Now, you don't have all
Speaker 3: of the things and all the evolutions that we've seen
Speaker 3: in women's wrestling inw without Trish and Lida. So they've
Speaker 3: been sort of going on a tour doing press stuff
Speaker 3: and then they even showed up at Galaxy Con to
Speaker 3: talk about it as well. But in an interview with
Speaker 3: Scott Fishman of TV Insider, she was asked about, you know,
Speaker 3: what she enjoys or who she enjoys watching in modern WWE,
Speaker 3: and she talked about how she loves watching Naya Jacks.
Speaker 3: She said, and I quote, I'm so happy she came back.
Speaker 3: She has a great presence, she has been owning it.
Speaker 3: I really enjoy watching her. I have this weird thing
Speaker 3: where I don't think I could fully retire until I'm
Speaker 3: ragged all by her? Is that weird? Imagine that then
Speaker 3: I can retire. And then she also shared her thoughts
Speaker 3: about how she feels about the mid card titles for
Speaker 3: the women. She said, I think it's amazing. This is
Speaker 3: exactly what we wanted back in the day. We wanted
Speaker 3: the same opportunities and exposure as the men. Now this
Speaker 3: is a big step to have that level of competition.
Speaker 3: Having the titles means you're going to have matches for
Speaker 3: those titles. There is room for multiple feuds over the
Speaker 3: titles and influx of characters. It creates opportunities for more
Speaker 3: characters on the show who happened to be female. So
Speaker 3: Trisha Stratus, of course, weighing in on the growth of
Speaker 3: the women's division with their new titles, the Women's IC
Speaker 3: and Women's United States titles, and a part of me
Speaker 3: just can't help but wonder what would it have been
Speaker 3: like to see women like her and like Jacqueline and
Speaker 3: like Jazz and so many others fighting for titles like
Speaker 3: that if they existed back then. But you know, I'm
Speaker 3: glad that even though it might not have happened for them,
Speaker 3: that at least it can still happen for other people
Speaker 3: in the future. So big ups to True Stratus for
Speaker 3: being an absolute legend and icon and for always setting
Speaker 3: our hearts ablaze with pictures like that. So yeah, love you, Treasure,
Speaker 3: love you down. So something else that I also wanted
Speaker 3: to discuss is the curious case to me of the
Speaker 3: absolute Ricky Starks. He has not been seen on aaw
Speaker 3: television in such a long period of time, and because
Speaker 3: of this, you know, he's actually been getting interviews with
Speaker 3: people like christ span Fleet and making appearances in other
Speaker 3: places and sort of talking about his discontent with not
Speaker 3: being utilized on television even though he's healthy and he's
Speaker 3: ready to go, and it's just it's just really sad
Speaker 3: and I and there was even a point where he
Speaker 3: was taken off of a show. It was a GCW show,
Speaker 3: if I'm not mistaken, that he was supposed to make
Speaker 3: an appearance at, and a lot of people online were
Speaker 3: really upset about it because this really could have been
Speaker 3: a really great opportunity for him, but only for him
Speaker 3: to get snatched away from it. But they did announce
Speaker 3: that he was supposed to be that he's going to
Speaker 3: be at House of Glory in New York at a show,
Speaker 3: so I think that's really cool. But him not being
Speaker 3: on AW television makes me really sad because the first
Speaker 3: time I saw him wrestle, I was just like, man, like,
Speaker 3: how come you're not, you know, in world title contention
Speaker 3: or like TNT title contention or anything like that, Like
Speaker 3: what are you doing? Like what are they doing with
Speaker 3: this man? And he just has a lot of the
Speaker 3: umph that you're looking for. So, for the life of me,
Speaker 3: it just makes me sad that he's not on television
Speaker 3: as frequently as he could be. I feel like he
Speaker 3: could be AW world champion if they were to push
Speaker 3: him that way, But I just have my feelings about that,
Speaker 3: and I'm just going to keep that on the hush.
Speaker 3: Right now. But I really just I just want more
Speaker 3: for him. I always want more for all black athletes
Speaker 3: because you see Powerhouse Hobbs behind him in that picture.
Speaker 3: But I always want more for all black athletes. But
Speaker 3: I definitely want more for him. Backstage brawl saying free
Speaker 3: Ricky Starks, yep, free him. So yeah, I just I
Speaker 3: just don't understand what the deal is. But I hope
Speaker 3: whatever the deal is, they get over it so he
Speaker 3: can get back on television because he is freaking talented.
Speaker 3: He is the future, So do right by Ricky Starks. Now,
Speaker 3: moving on further in New and Gossipish, something funny that
Speaker 3: I saw online this week was somebody discovered that Elijah
Speaker 3: formerly known as Elias and Wwe is on TikTok doing
Speaker 3: lives where he's teaching Bible studies, and they were just like, well,
Speaker 3: is this what Elias is doing now? And yeah, a
Speaker 3: lot of people came to his defense and say, yeah,
Speaker 3: he teaches Bible study on TikTok and it's really great.
Speaker 3: And I just thought it was really interesting how some
Speaker 3: people really might not know where he went. Now, Elijah
Speaker 3: does still wrestle every now and again, but he is
Speaker 3: definitely a Christian, and he is very passionate about the
Speaker 3: Gospel of Jesus Christ, if you believe in that. I'm
Speaker 3: a woman of fans, so I definitely appreciate that. I
Speaker 3: love it when wrestlers are open about their faith and
Speaker 3: they are utilizing their faith in the right way and
Speaker 3: not in a way that takes away from anybody or
Speaker 3: hurts anybody or pushes people away based off of differences
Speaker 3: and stuff. So as long as he's doing that, then
Speaker 3: that's all that truly matters. He's teaching and spreading the
Speaker 3: Gospel in his own way, and I think that's amazing,
Speaker 3: and as long as he continues to do it in
Speaker 3: a healthy way, then that's all that matters. And also,
Speaker 3: you know, if he's continuing his wrestling career, then that's
Speaker 3: really great too. But yeah, for those who don't know
Speaker 3: mister formally, Mister who Wants to Walk with Elias is
Speaker 3: teaching Bible studies on TikTok, and I do recommend that
Speaker 3: you listen because it's really great. He has a very
Speaker 3: soothing voice and he's very passionate about the gospel, So yeah,
Speaker 3: gotta love it. That was just really a really viral
Speaker 3: thing that just took place, and I thought that was
Speaker 3: just really interesting. So yeah. Also another thing that was
Speaker 3: very interesting this week in terms of stuff going viral
Speaker 3: is the fact that Spotify Rapped came out this week
Speaker 3: for a lot of Spotify users, which is like a
Speaker 3: million's mealllions of people all around the world. They were
Speaker 3: talking about and sharing the list of all the songs
Speaker 3: that they listened to over the past year. And I
Speaker 3: have an Apple I have an Apple Music subscription, so
Speaker 3: it does like a replay, so I understand what that is.
Speaker 3: But there were a lot of people on social media
Speaker 3: who were very surprised that there are wrestling fans that
Speaker 3: listen to theme songs on a recreational basis. They were like,
Speaker 3: y'all really be listening to WW songs? Like somebody actually
Speaker 3: tweeted it, and of course there was a huge discourse
Speaker 3: of people saying, look, I do like there were some
Speaker 3: people who had WW in their top five or in
Speaker 3: their top ten of theme songs being listened to. I know,
Speaker 3: I didn't really have that many songs pop up in
Speaker 3: my Apple Music replay this year, but I do listen
Speaker 3: to them, you know, when I am in the mood
Speaker 3: for them. And the one that I tend to listen
Speaker 3: to the most is Bianca Bellair's theme song, because I
Speaker 3: kid you not. If you listen to her song with
Speaker 3: some excuse me, really power headphones, it makes you want
Speaker 3: to run through a brick wall before you know it.
Speaker 3: You if you're walking outside, if you listen to Bianca
Speaker 3: Bellair's theme song, you will run or at least walk
Speaker 3: two miles before you realize what actually happened, because you're
Speaker 3: just like, WHOA, how did I get here? Because you're
Speaker 3: listening to I Never needed you at Oh da da
Speaker 3: da da Da Da da da da da. And then,
Speaker 3: of course, if you listen to Solo Sokola's theme song,
Speaker 3: his song is an absolute banger. I'm pretty sure if
Speaker 3: you were to put that on in the car and
Speaker 3: turn that up sky high, it'll sound like your average
Speaker 3: every day rap song. So yeah, people do listen to
Speaker 3: theme songs recreationally. I have Carmelo Hayes's theme song as
Speaker 3: my ring tone. It actually rang today while he was
Speaker 3: on TV, and I thought that was really funny. But yeah, ww,
Speaker 3: theme songs and wrestling theme songs are where it's at.
Speaker 3: I love listening to Adam Cole's theme song. He has
Speaker 3: an aaw you know, it's all about that boom, like,
Speaker 3: come on, it gets you hype. So if you are
Speaker 3: one of those people who loves to listen to wrestling
Speaker 3: theme songs, but when you're by yourself, when you're running,
Speaker 3: when you're working, or when you're working out or whatever,
Speaker 3: don't feel ashamed of that, Like, embrace that part of
Speaker 3: yourself and know that there's a part of yourself that
Speaker 3: loves it. I think my girl Ella J who is
Speaker 3: an amazing wrestling journalist, actually tweeted out during a very
Speaker 3: tenuous part of this week, which we will get to,
Speaker 3: that Kofi Kingston should definitely bring back so os and
Speaker 3: I'm just like, not now, not now, not now, okay,
Speaker 3: but theme songs are the best. Keep them in your
Speaker 3: playlist and don't be ashamed to express what music you
Speaker 3: listen to with your Spotify raps, your Apple stuff or
Speaker 3: everything else or title or whatever you listen to or whatever.
Speaker 3: So yeah, I just wanted to address that part, and
Speaker 3: I think that's it for news and gossip ish. So
Speaker 3: now we're gonna go into what I liked in wrestling
Speaker 3: this week, or more specifically, what made me feel emotional
Speaker 3: feelings this week as well, so I have to talk
Speaker 3: about my girls in the Wargames match Survivor series. Wargames
Speaker 3: took place in Vancouver, BC, in Canada, and it never
Speaker 3: ceases to amaze me, you know how Wargames as a
Speaker 3: spectacle continues to grow and just get better with each
Speaker 3: and every year. Like, I just really loved that they
Speaker 3: added this concept into Survivor series because it's a little
Speaker 3: bit more refreshing than just the average brand supremacy thing
Speaker 3: that had been done for a number of years. I
Speaker 3: know a lot of people would love the whole classic
Speaker 3: raw versus SmackDown thing, which is cool and does service
Speaker 3: purpose in a major way, but I actually really liked
Speaker 3: the Wargames part better, and it actually allows for people
Speaker 3: from different brands to actually intermingle with each other as
Speaker 3: opposed to fighting against each other, and I just like it.
Speaker 3: So the women's Wargames match was really fire. The parts
Speaker 3: that I absolutely enjoyed was definitely Tiffany Stratton and seeing
Speaker 3: her do her backflip over everyone else while EO Sky
Speaker 3: missed Wargames put the trash can over her head and
Speaker 3: did a moon salt onto everybody else on her side
Speaker 3: of the cage that was unbelievable. Rhea Ripley participating in it,
Speaker 3: even though her face was still injured and she had
Speaker 3: on like a mask or something that looked like the
Speaker 3: face of the bone of an animal's face. It was
Speaker 3: just really cool and I just loved watching her, you know,
Speaker 3: fight with like, I just really enjoyed every bit of
Speaker 3: this match. And surprisingly enough, even though Bianca was in
Speaker 3: it and she's one of the pillars of the women's
Speaker 3: Wargames concept, she did get beat down a lot and
Speaker 3: didn't really have a whole lot of time to shine
Speaker 3: as much as she did last year. But it was
Speaker 3: still good. Everyone did a phenomenal job and Team ria
Speaker 3: Est wound up winning and you can't really go wrong
Speaker 3: with that. And Naomi won on her birthday, which is
Speaker 3: just really cool. So big shout out to those women.
Speaker 3: And it was in that Wargames match it was sensational, Yeah,
Speaker 3: very sensational, And yeah, EO is crazy. And I did
Speaker 3: want to talk about how when EO was in the
Speaker 3: press conference after Wargames, she talked about how she just
Speaker 3: trusts the trash can and I just thought that was
Speaker 3: a funny concept for her to just say, Oh, I
Speaker 3: just trust the trash can now, and I was just like, EO,
Speaker 3: you're nuts, You're nuts, And I love it. So as
Speaker 3: long as she trusts the trash can and then will
Speaker 3: trust the trash can. But she really just be flipping
Speaker 3: onto people with that trash can, not really caring about anything,
Speaker 3: and it's just like, girl, I love it so him.
Speaker 3: Another thing that shocked me in War Games was just
Speaker 3: the fact that Shitsk Knackamora made his return on SmackDown
Speaker 3: and beat l A. Knight for the United States Championship.
Speaker 3: Mind you, this is a championship that he has help before,
Speaker 3: but the idea of him, you know, being a big
Speaker 3: bad now and coming after LA Knight and getting in
Speaker 3: his head to the point where he beat him was
Speaker 3: just like really surprising for me. I was like, whoa,
Speaker 3: Like when it went one, two three, I was like, huh,
Speaker 3: Like I was really surprised at that. And that's not
Speaker 3: because I feel like Shitsk is not a good wrestler,
Speaker 3: because he clearly is. He's well accomplished. It was just
Speaker 3: because I thought maybe La would have kept it a
Speaker 3: little bit longer, but you know, Shinsk has it now,
Speaker 3: and I guess you really can't be La Night without
Speaker 3: a good villain, so hey, this is where we're at.
Speaker 3: But I feel like shins K's whole presentation now is
Speaker 3: very dark and it's very different in comparison to how
Speaker 3: we've seen him in the past, and I do like it.
Speaker 3: It's really giving a mysterious warrior vibe. And yeah, even
Speaker 3: tonight on SmackDown when he was possibly about to get
Speaker 3: attacked by the crash out bloodline, like he just had
Speaker 3: miss coming out of his mouth, like to creep people out,
Speaker 3: and I'm just like, yep, I'm here for that. So yeah,
Speaker 3: schits K is here to really shake some stuff up,
Speaker 3: and with him being US Champion now, it's just kind
Speaker 3: of like, Okay, yeah, we got something different here. It's
Speaker 3: really interesting. So big upsitions gave for being the new
Speaker 3: United States Champion, but I just can't help but feel
Speaker 3: like at some point, I feel I just can't help
Speaker 3: but feel like they've just relegated. I don't want to
Speaker 3: stay relegated because the men card is important, but I
Speaker 3: really just feel like he should have been WW champion
Speaker 3: by now, Like I really feel like Shenske really could
Speaker 3: have been WW Champion by now, but they really drop
Speaker 3: the ball with it and I really hate it, but
Speaker 3: that's just how it is. But it's okay, I guess.
Speaker 3: And of course you had the men's War Games match
Speaker 3: in which Team Punk Roman wound up winning. Og Bloodline
Speaker 3: actually wound up winning and gave some of the most
Speaker 3: funniest moments that I saw from a group of men
Speaker 3: in my life. The idea that you have CM Punk
Speaker 3: a year removed from when he made his fight, his
Speaker 3: phenomenal return at war Games, and now he's in a
Speaker 3: war Game match with Roman, It's just really nuts. It's
Speaker 3: not really something that I thought I would ever see
Speaker 3: at this point, because of course he did kind of
Speaker 3: have a partnership with Roman when Roman was in his Shield,
Speaker 3: and that was way back when. But I just never
Speaker 3: thought I would see these two egos kind of just
Speaker 3: have to work together and have to lean on each other,
Speaker 3: and I think that was present throughout the whole match.
Speaker 3: But I'm just really glad that they were able to
Speaker 3: pull it together and actually protect each other so they
Speaker 3: could win against the crash out Cousins. So it was
Speaker 3: really cool. This picture deserves to be framed somewhere, And yeah,
Speaker 3: it was nuts, but it was a really great match.
Speaker 3: I enjoyed it a lot, and it just gave really
Speaker 3: great moments, like with the both of them standing in
Speaker 3: this cage like this kind of looking like, eh, I
Speaker 3: don't want to be here, but I gotta stand here,
Speaker 3: and I don't think I should look at him, and
Speaker 3: Roman's like, he better not look at me. He better
Speaker 3: not look at me, he better not look at me.
Speaker 3: Like they just really was just really funny, Like it
Speaker 3: was just really comical. I'm just like, oh my god,
Speaker 3: this is funny. So yeah, and then you also had
Speaker 3: Tomatonga Tomatonga ing when he made his entrance as like
Speaker 3: the first participant in the Wargames match, this man proceeded
Speaker 3: to crawl all over the cage like a monster, like, sir,
Speaker 3: what are you doing? It was just really nuts. It
Speaker 3: was really nuts, and I feel like the picture is
Speaker 3: only doing a part of the job. I wish I
Speaker 3: could play the video, but I can't. But the fact
Speaker 3: that he was just crawling like that on top of
Speaker 3: the cage knowing he had a match. It's just I
Speaker 3: aspired to be that level of in shape to crawl
Speaker 3: on a cage and then wrestle a match, like, excuse me,
Speaker 3: what are you made out of? What type of things
Speaker 3: are you eating or not eating in order to do this?
Speaker 3: It's nuts? But Tomatonga is not of this world. And
Speaker 3: also Jacob Fatu is not of this world either, because
Speaker 3: the fact that seeing Punk got in that match and
Speaker 3: tried to give him a DDT into the toolbox, only
Speaker 3: for him to get back up and then kick him
Speaker 3: in the face was just absolutely nuts. Like, excuse me,
Speaker 3: Jacob Fatu, what are you made out of? And what
Speaker 3: hard times have you seen? I know some of them,
Speaker 3: but what other hard times have you seen to do
Speaker 3: some crazy stuff like that. Like I saw someone on
Speaker 3: Twitter say that every time he performs, he performs like
Speaker 3: his life depends on it, and I believe it, Like
Speaker 3: every time he performs, he performs like it's the last time.
Speaker 3: And I appreciate that approach so much, Like you can't
Speaker 3: take his eyes off him no matter what he does.
Speaker 3: And yeah, he might be a crash out cousin, but
Speaker 3: I feel like I have two favorite crash out cousins.
Speaker 3: Is Jacob and it's Tomatonga because they both give their
Speaker 3: all and Jacob is just nuts. He's just crazy. He's
Speaker 3: just like the Tasmanian devil. We never had in wrestling,
Speaker 3: and he's just crazy and he'll always bust off and
Speaker 3: be like I love you sollo and then destroy everybody.
Speaker 3: It's just like, bruh, what are you made out of? Son?
Speaker 3: What are the fatus made out of? What? I just
Speaker 3: don't understand. I don't understand now that I think about it,
Speaker 3: I feel like a tag team between him and Umaga
Speaker 3: would have ate. It definitely would have ate. But you know,
Speaker 3: I'm sure Umaga is definitely in a better place. But
Speaker 3: a tag team between those two would have definitely ate
Speaker 3: down or even like a trio's team with Rosie and
Speaker 3: Jamal and Jacob Fatu would have ate too. But it's okay,
Speaker 3: rest in peace about those men. But Jacob is out
Speaker 3: here ready to rock some people, and it's crazy. So
Speaker 3: those are all the things that I liked about War Games.
Speaker 3: Now moving into what I liked in RAW On Monday
Speaker 3: Night Raw, I got to start with the women. I
Speaker 3: am so so happy that the women's Intercontinental title exists. Now.
Speaker 3: I was wondering if they were really going to do this.
Speaker 3: In my last episode, I talked about how since the
Speaker 3: women's United States title exists that I was wondering if
Speaker 3: Raw was going to have the equivalent, because at first
Speaker 3: they were saying that the Raw women could compete for
Speaker 3: the US title if they wanted to. But now they
Speaker 3: have officially announced the Women's Intercontinental title for Raw and
Speaker 3: this blessed my soul in such a deep way. And
Speaker 3: the tournament started this week and I'm just like, I'm
Speaker 3: just so happy that this title is real. All the
Speaker 3: Manifestation and all the years of talking about women's mid
Speaker 3: card titles and right articles about it, she plug it
Speaker 3: all came to fruition and it all worked out, and
Speaker 3: I'm just so happy that this title is here and
Speaker 3: it's beautiful and they are keeping the theme with the
Speaker 3: white strap, and I'm just like, yes, yes, yes, yes,
Speaker 3: the Women's Icy title is here. And Dakota Kai is
Speaker 3: the first to qualify in the Women's Icy Title tournament.
Speaker 3: I was really happy to see this from her because
Speaker 3: for a minute she was gone, you know, due to
Speaker 3: injury and stuff, and it just feels like a lot
Speaker 3: of the time she's been very unlucky in that regard
Speaker 3: with her injuries. So to see her bounce back in
Speaker 3: this way and qualify for this tournament, it's such a
Speaker 3: huge deal. And she seems really passionate about it, and
Speaker 3: I'm really happy that she won the first match against
Speaker 3: Shanna Basler, and oh my god, who was the other
Speaker 3: girl she fought? I know it Shanna Basler, and I
Speaker 3: feel like I'm blanking and Katana Chance, Like they did
Speaker 3: such an amazing job in that match. And Katana Chance
Speaker 3: did really good too in a singles match, and apparently
Speaker 3: they said it was her first singles match on the
Speaker 3: main roster, and I was like, what the heck? Like
Speaker 3: I could have sworn she had wrestled one before, but
Speaker 3: she hadn't because she was an attag team with Kayden Carter.
Speaker 3: But to see the way that she performed in that
Speaker 3: was really impressive. But I'm just really glad the Dakota
Speaker 3: has a chance to move forward and possibly be the
Speaker 3: first women's inter continental champion. But now that she's moving forward,
Speaker 3: she has to prepare to face off against either Zoe Stark,
Speaker 3: Kel Rodriguez or Kayden Carter. And on the other side,
Speaker 3: we have Alba Fire versus Kyrie Saying versus Natalia, and
Speaker 3: this coming Monday will have Lyra Valkyria versus My Girl,
Speaker 3: Zelina Vaya and Ivy Nile and if it's one person
Speaker 3: I know I want to win the Intercontinental Championship for
Speaker 3: the women is Zelena Vega. And that's no shade to
Speaker 3: either of the other girls, especially even Dakota, but Zelena Vega,
Speaker 3: this is her time. I feel. I just feel really
Speaker 3: passionate about wanting her to win because she just has
Speaker 3: not held a singles title in WWE. She's only been
Speaker 3: a Queen of the Ring. And I keep saying this
Speaker 3: over and over again, but it bears repeating. She's been
Speaker 3: a Queen of the Ring before, and she's been a
Speaker 3: women's tag team champion with Carmela, But since then, since
Speaker 3: she's been even with Legato when it flipped into LWO
Speaker 3: and everything, she's been fighting, and she's had opportunities for
Speaker 3: singles titles multiple times only to fall short. And now
Speaker 3: that these mid card titles exist, I really do believe
Speaker 3: that these titles truly need to go to women who
Speaker 3: work really hard and who do their very best to prove,
Speaker 3: you know, night in or weekend and week out, never
Speaker 3: they're on TV, that they are worth watching. And Zelena
Speaker 3: has proved that not only with her emmering ability, but
Speaker 3: also with her personality and with how she rocks on
Speaker 3: the microphone and how she's just really like sassy with
Speaker 3: her New York wit and everything, like give her the ball,
Speaker 3: give her the ball and let her play. And this
Speaker 3: is and like I said, this is no shade to
Speaker 3: any of the other girls, but dang it, I want
Speaker 3: it for Zelena, real, real bad. I am the general,
Speaker 3: the Southeastern General of the ZB Army, and I feel
Speaker 3: like it is her time to get something, give her something,
Speaker 3: and she deserves the women's Intercontinental title. Please please, please
Speaker 3: please please. So yeah, that's how I feel about that.
Speaker 3: We also have the drama of Ria Riplet and Live
Speaker 3: Morgan continuing on. It's so funny that Live and Raquela
Speaker 3: had so much trash to talk even after they lost
Speaker 3: the Wargames match, and even as the Judgment Day is
Speaker 3: crumbling underneath them, they still have the bravado of people
Speaker 3: who win everything, and it's just like, girls, I'm a
Speaker 3: really need for y'all to let this go. And Rhea
Speaker 3: would go on to run after them and attack them
Speaker 3: and then also have a brawl with Raquel because of
Speaker 3: course Live likes to run, and I just don't understand
Speaker 3: how Live just keeps letting Ria Ripley just pan her
Speaker 3: l's all the time. It's like you run from her.
Speaker 3: You want to scream at her and act like you
Speaker 3: want to fight her, but every time you do get
Speaker 3: the chance to fight her, you run away or you
Speaker 3: let some people pick her off for you, and it's
Speaker 3: just like Live. You keep talking all this stuff, saying
Speaker 3: you're the greatest women's world champion there is or there
Speaker 3: ever that ever has been, but you just keep running
Speaker 3: from the woman who keeps pitting you over and over again,
Speaker 3: and it just makes you look like a loser. L
Speaker 3: live like literally more l's in your name. All you
Speaker 3: do is take ls. All you do is get beat
Speaker 3: All you do is get pinned. You got pinned at wargames.
Speaker 3: Stop running, stop running from your issues, and stop hiding
Speaker 3: behind everybody else. Like it's just really annoying at this point.
Speaker 3: So yeah, now moving to the men on Raw, you
Speaker 3: had seth Rollins and seem Punk have an interaction. Now
Speaker 3: CM punk started to show. He made his entrance, and
Speaker 3: I love the hoodie he had on. By the way,
Speaker 3: it looked like an army hoodie except it had best
Speaker 3: in the World seem Punk on it, and it was
Speaker 3: really cute. Not sure if I would buy it though,
Speaker 3: because I just have major respect for people in the military.
Speaker 3: But it was a really cute hoodie and seem Punk
Speaker 3: was out here talking about his plans to try to
Speaker 3: make it to WrestleMania because of course last year, well
Speaker 3: not last year, this year he could not participate because
Speaker 3: he was injured and he was on commentary for a
Speaker 3: match and that was pretty much it. Even though he
Speaker 3: did cost you McIntyre his chance at the world title,
Speaker 3: that was all he was really able to do. And
Speaker 3: his plan was to main event WrestleMania this year before
Speaker 3: he got injured in the rumbling stuff. So he climbed
Speaker 3: up on the top rope and pointed at the invisible
Speaker 3: WrestleMania sign that we're inevitably going to see, and he said, look,
Speaker 3: do you see the future? Do you see it? And
Speaker 3: I'm just like, uh, yeah, we see it, Like give
Speaker 3: us the Vegas sign now, right. But as soon as
Speaker 3: he's pointing at the sign, mister Burnett down comes out
Speaker 3: and he just comes to rain on his parade and
Speaker 3: he gets the microphone and he says, I should have
Speaker 3: took you out the night you made your return, even
Speaker 3: though I'm paraphrasing, but that's basically what he said. But
Speaker 3: then sam Punk essentially ended him by saying, I was
Speaker 3: interested in fighting you when you had the world heavyweight title,
Speaker 3: but it looks like you don't have that anymore, and
Speaker 3: now I don't think about you at all. And I
Speaker 3: was just like, oh my god, do you know how
Speaker 3: bad it is when somebody tells you that they don't
Speaker 3: think about you at all, Like you want to fight me?
Speaker 3: And I wanted to fight you when you had the title,
Speaker 3: But baby, I don't think about you at all. You
Speaker 3: are the last person on my mind. That is a
Speaker 3: level of healing that you have to reach in life
Speaker 3: when you don't even think about your ops anymore. Yeah,
Speaker 3: that's perfect. So this inevitably leads them to fight, but
Speaker 3: then Jay Uso and Sammy's Ain't breaks them up, and
Speaker 3: Seth and Sammy have an insane back and forth on
Speaker 3: the microphone which can only be described as heated and
Speaker 3: full of the truth, because every time Sammy's Ain't gets
Speaker 3: a microphone, they tell him like, you need to speak,
Speaker 3: and he's just like, good, I need to freak with
Speaker 3: the truth. And he told Seth Rawlins that well, okay,
Speaker 3: Seth decided to come for Sammy and was all like, oh, well,
Speaker 3: you decided to team with the person who abused you
Speaker 3: and treated you like trash and treated you like you
Speaker 3: weren't family and all of that and blah blah blah.
Speaker 3: And Roman reigns as a monster and Sammy was like, yeah,
Speaker 3: he's a monster that you created because you hit him
Speaker 3: in the back with that chair years ago. And everybody
Speaker 3: in the crowd was like, oh, and I'm just like,
Speaker 3: he didn't lie, He really didn't lie. But then Seth
Speaker 3: was just like, he's a monster you created too, because
Speaker 3: you hit him in the back as well. And I
Speaker 3: was just like, oh, calling back to the time Sammy
Speaker 3: hit Roman in the back at Royal Rumble two years ago,
Speaker 3: that was lit and I was just like, these two
Speaker 3: are just dropping truth bombs all over each other. But
Speaker 3: I really feel like Sammy's chair shot was consequential, but
Speaker 3: it wasn't nearly as consequential as Seth's cherit shot, because sweetheart,
Speaker 3: you did not have just stabbed the shield in the
Speaker 3: back the way you did, but you did that, and
Speaker 3: now look what we have. So yeah, it was just
Speaker 3: really nuts. The butterfly effect in the promo was just
Speaker 3: really nuts, and I just really enjoyed these two going
Speaker 3: back and forth, which led to them having imagined the
Speaker 3: Maine event a raw that was everything. But either way,
Speaker 3: this was a really great encounter. Then you have crashed
Speaker 3: out Finn. He is really getting on my nerves now
Speaker 3: because it just feels like, even though he's a tag
Speaker 3: team champion with Jaden McDonough, that's just not enough for him.
Speaker 3: It's like if he isn't inserting himself in the World
Speaker 3: Heavyweight title picture somehow, it's almost like he just feels useless.
Speaker 3: And I'm just like, dude, you're a tag team champion,
Speaker 3: why can't you just focus on that? And his brothers
Speaker 3: and sisters in Judgment Day are wondering why he's not
Speaker 3: focused on that either, And it seems like now he's
Speaker 3: getting a little bit too big for his bridges. It
Speaker 3: seems like the very same thing he tried to come
Speaker 3: down on Rhea and Damian for and the whole there
Speaker 3: are no leaders in Judgment Day things. He's becoming that
Speaker 3: in real time and it's just like, and he's really
Speaker 3: crashing out. He's not even focused on their group anymore.
Speaker 3: He's only focused on himself. He stopped Damian Priests from
Speaker 3: being able to win the title at War Games, and
Speaker 3: then he beat up on Gunter, who told him he
Speaker 3: didn't need him interfering in his match. So now he's
Speaker 3: just crashing out beating everybody's behind, trying to teach Dom
Speaker 3: a lesson like he needs to learn and live. Even
Speaker 3: Peeps it and she doesn't even like it. So the
Speaker 3: foundation of the Judgment Day is just all shook up.
Speaker 3: And now Finn has a tag team title match and
Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure his him isn't even in the game
Speaker 3: for it. But we gonna get back to the tag
Speaker 3: team titles in a minute. I won't necessarily say that
Speaker 3: this was a part of Raw that I liked or
Speaker 3: didn't like. It was just something that I kind of
Speaker 3: felt was coming, but the way that it was executed
Speaker 3: was not something I was expecting at all. And for
Speaker 3: those who are watching live, this is the part of
Speaker 3: the show where I'm gonna talk about the New Day,
Speaker 3: so I have to start at the beginning before I
Speaker 3: get to the end. When I started noticing the New
Speaker 3: Day coming together, I was in college, and this was
Speaker 3: of course in twenty fourteen, and when I saw the
Speaker 3: New Day as a thing and manifesting themselves not as
Speaker 3: the nation of Domination two point zero that they were
Speaker 3: initially supposed to be, and they came out as gospel
Speaker 3: singing preachers. I actually liked that. Even though there was
Speaker 3: a lot of people who didn't like that because they
Speaker 3: felt like, you know, this is sort of like a
Speaker 3: shucking and driving gimmick. I actually liked it because it
Speaker 3: actually fed into a part of my life that was
Speaker 3: that I was really passionate about at the time, and
Speaker 3: that was the gospel choir that I was in when
Speaker 3: I was at Burria College, the Black Music Ensemble, And
Speaker 3: so watching these black men in wrestling, clapping and singing
Speaker 3: the way that they were doing, I felt seen. That
Speaker 3: part of me felt seen in a sport that I
Speaker 3: have been watching forever, and I just there was something
Speaker 3: about them that clicked with me. So then they turned
Speaker 3: out to be villains, and it was just kind of like,
Speaker 3: oh my god, what that is happening. How are you
Speaker 3: guys being inspirational and talking about the power of positivity,
Speaker 3: but you guys are cheating to him, Like what is
Speaker 3: going on? Everybody was booing him? But deep down inside
Speaker 3: I loved them I had always loved Kothee Kingston. I
Speaker 3: always saw it for Xavier Woods, even though I might
Speaker 3: not have seen him as much when he was a
Speaker 3: single when he first started out as a single star,
Speaker 3: or when he was an attack team with Artruth. He
Speaker 3: was there, but he wasn't there there as prominently. And
Speaker 3: then I loved Big Eie too because he was the
Speaker 3: muscle for Dog Ziggler and aj Lee. That was and
Speaker 3: that was cool, but them together just meshed well for me.
Speaker 3: I they turned out to be something more than I
Speaker 3: ever imagined that they would ever be. And I've talked
Speaker 3: about on this show previously where I think this week
Speaker 3: I shared an old clip of an old audio clip
Speaker 3: of me talking about how I've reacted when Kofi Mania happened.
Speaker 3: Because when Kofi made his debut, as you know, the
Speaker 3: SOS Jamaican guy, I actually liked him. I thought that
Speaker 3: that was interesting and he would wear all these bright
Speaker 3: colors and everything, and he was always wearing these bright colors,
Speaker 3: having his Jamaican accent, winning these titles back and forth
Speaker 3: and everything like being a tag team champion, IC Champion,
Speaker 3: US champion, just highly decorated. But yet he wouldn't never
Speaker 3: qualify to win a WWE title, you know, or whatever.
Speaker 3: And so watching him get to that opportunity and finally
Speaker 3: get it, you know, on the off the backs of
Speaker 3: his brothers and getting that opportunity meant the world to
Speaker 3: me at that point of my life. Like I was
Speaker 3: so passionate about it, Like I was at my church,
Speaker 3: my old church, praying for Kobe Kingston to win the title.
Speaker 3: Like I was like, Lord, please just let him win,
Speaker 3: Please let him win, because it's just important. Because at
Speaker 3: that point, I think at that point at church, they
Speaker 3: were saying like, look, every prayer is important to God,
Speaker 3: and I was just like, well, if that's the case,
Speaker 3: then I need to talk to God about Kofe. And
Speaker 3: I know that might sound ridiculous, but that's just real.
Speaker 3: And then I got baptized a second time the weekend
Speaker 3: that he won the ww title, and I was wearing
Speaker 3: a Ghana wristband because Kofe is from Ghana and I
Speaker 3: had actually traveled there when I was in college too.
Speaker 3: The year I went to Ghana was the year the
Speaker 3: New Day actually was founded. So it was watching him
Speaker 3: win that title was very emotional for me. I was jumping,
Speaker 3: I was screaming. It was just really great to watch
Speaker 3: him win, and I was crying even more when Xavier
Speaker 3: started crying. It was just a beautiful moment. And it's
Speaker 3: also a moment that I believe has had a ripple
Speaker 3: effect in all of wrestling, and that really let people
Speaker 3: know that black people, black women, and black men can
Speaker 3: be you know, champions and can't be the face of
Speaker 3: a brand or whatever. And I know I saw a
Speaker 3: lot of people online saying, because of the term that
Speaker 3: happened that oh, well, maybe he should have lost to
Speaker 3: brock Lesner. I will never say that. I will never
Speaker 3: say that because I will never like it. Every time
Speaker 3: I see it, I just want to like turn it away,
Speaker 3: like no, I will never say that Kofe Kingston should
Speaker 3: have lost to brock Lesnar in six seconds. I will
Speaker 3: never say that that. I may be upset now, but
Speaker 3: I will never ever say that because that's just a
Speaker 3: bit too much, that's a bit too far, Because KOFE
Speaker 3: Mania was a little bit too sacred for us for
Speaker 3: me to just throw it away because of that, I'm
Speaker 3: not gonna do it. So every time The New Day succeeded,
Speaker 3: I just felt a sense of pride and a sense
Speaker 3: of happiness even from Big Eie winning the money in
Speaker 3: the bank briefcase. I was so excited about that because
Speaker 3: I was just like, great, like, he has the singles
Speaker 3: opportunity because he had won the IC title, lost it
Speaker 3: and won it back. And then this was when they
Speaker 3: were actually propositioning the Intercontinental title to give you a
Speaker 3: leg up a bit towards the WW Championship, or at
Speaker 3: least they were trying at that point. And Biggie won
Speaker 3: money in the bank and I was just really excited
Speaker 3: about that, only for him to cash in on Bobby Lashley.
Speaker 3: And it was so funny because that night he was saying,
Speaker 3: I'm going to cash in on you, and Bobby just
Speaker 3: kept looking at him like I don't believe you. I
Speaker 3: don't believe He just wasn't taking him seriously the whole night.
Speaker 3: But then Big e said, look, I'm calling my shot.
Speaker 3: I'm doing this, And when he won, I was screaming
Speaker 3: and I was like, yeah, they won. I was just
Speaker 3: so happy, just so happy. Every time these men succeeded,
Speaker 3: like two out of three men winning the WW Championship,
Speaker 3: I felt like this further solidified them as the greatest
Speaker 3: stable of all time to me. If you want to
Speaker 3: argue about it, we can argue about it later, but
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna argue about it now. But yeah, this
Speaker 3: was amazing for me. I just loved watching this happen live.
Speaker 3: And also, let me just say, since Big E is
Speaker 3: on the brain, if you have not read his editorial
Speaker 3: that he did on the Player's Tribune called Sour, please
Speaker 3: read it because it is so good. It is really good,
Speaker 3: and it puts everything that happened this week into perspective,
Speaker 3: like please read it because it's fire. His life story
Speaker 3: and his testimony is just out of this world, so
Speaker 3: please read it. So moving past that part, you also
Speaker 3: had all the accomplishments of Xavier, who not only is
Speaker 3: a fantastic wrestler, but also, you know it is a
Speaker 3: really great host. He always mentioned that one of his
Speaker 3: greatest dreams was to be like the new host of
Speaker 3: Nick Arcade because he was so passionate about video games
Speaker 3: and passionate about hosting game shows and stuff, and how
Speaker 3: he made a dream come true for himself by being
Speaker 3: on wheel of fortune, which is real because a lot
Speaker 3: of black families, you know, would gather around the TV,
Speaker 3: or my family in particular, and watch Jeopardy or watch
Speaker 3: Wheel of Fortune, or watch Family Feud and stuff like that,
Speaker 3: and in my mind and I could see that for Xavier.
Speaker 3: He went on to host the new G four, of course,
Speaker 3: which no longer exists now, but that was a huge
Speaker 3: moment for him. And then he had Up, Up, Down, Down,
Speaker 3: which opened the door for wrestlers to share their thoughts
Speaker 3: and their passion for video gaming and other hobbies as well.
Speaker 3: And seeing stuff like that means a lot because I
Speaker 3: have a boyfriend who loves video games, who gets excited
Speaker 3: whenever there's a certain release that he really you know,
Speaker 3: wants to get, and then gets excited about every update
Speaker 3: that comes with the game so he can play it.
Speaker 3: And how he really is passionate about playing in story
Speaker 3: mode first and then do like the adventures on the side.
Speaker 3: Like that is stuff that Xavier was actually bringing to
Speaker 3: the forefront in wrestling that had not really been brought
Speaker 3: there before. And culturally, seeing black men be interested in
Speaker 3: stuff like that really, you know, open doors and opened
Speaker 3: up an opportunity for people, black men and also black
Speaker 3: women to be truly who they are and to walk
Speaker 3: in their weirdness. And that is such a beautiful thing.
Speaker 3: The New Day's impact goes further, you know, beyond just wrestling.
Speaker 3: It goes into culture as a whole. It goes into
Speaker 3: representation as a whole, them showing their pride in their
Speaker 3: blackness and their Africanness, Like that feeds into the unapologeticness
Speaker 3: that we're seeing in the Wrestlers of the future now,
Speaker 3: Like without the New Day, you don't have and authentic
Speaker 3: Carmelo Hayes or an authentic Trick Williams, or an authentic
Speaker 3: Jada Parker or anyone else at this point, or it's
Speaker 3: so many other women and men who are so talented
Speaker 3: getting to be the fullest form of themselves, Like you
Speaker 3: just don't see that without them, and they've just done absolutely,
Speaker 3: they've just done so much. And then even with Biggie,
Speaker 3: I didn't even also talk about the fact that he
Speaker 3: acts and does voice work, and then he created our
Speaker 3: heroes Rock with Andreas Hill and Jonathan Davenport, like just
Speaker 3: so many things. These men are so gifted in so
Speaker 3: many areas, and the fact that they have been able
Speaker 3: to stand together for ten years, it's just a testament
Speaker 3: of their brotherhood and their friendship and just a testament
Speaker 3: to how they carry themselves in the world and just
Speaker 3: how they make everything better around them, which makes it
Speaker 3: all the more sad to watch how everything happened Monday.
Speaker 3: Who this hurts so bad? The thing that hurts, that
Speaker 3: has been hurting over the past couple of months is
Speaker 3: watching Xavier and Koffee be so angry at each other
Speaker 3: with their miscommunications and their misunderstandings of each other and
Speaker 3: not hearing each other out and all of this stuff,
Speaker 3: and then almost falling apart even last week, to the
Speaker 3: point to where they were saying the absolute worst things
Speaker 3: to each other. A relationship reaches its breaking point when
Speaker 3: you start saying the most hurtful things to each other,
Speaker 3: and that's what was happening with Xavier Woods and Kolfie Kingston.
Speaker 3: It was almost to a point where we really just
Speaker 3: did not know if they were even gonna make it
Speaker 3: to their reunion. And then we get to the reunion,
Speaker 3: we get to the anniversary celebration, the balloons are out,
Speaker 3: the costumes are out, they even had an inflatable box
Speaker 3: of bouteos there and all all of that. I just
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, And then it sounded low key like they
Speaker 3: were getting ready to say that it might be for
Speaker 3: the best that we you know, just take some time
Speaker 3: apart and just saying like, whatever happens, this is not
Speaker 3: your fault, saying that to the fans. But then Big
Speaker 3: Ee's music hits and you're just like, Okay, there's a
Speaker 3: glimmer of hope there. Maybe there's something good that can
Speaker 3: come out of this. You know what's big Ee gonna
Speaker 3: add to the equation. And Biggie's like, look, I've watched
Speaker 3: you two bicker and it's been really heartbreaking, but I'm
Speaker 3: here to remind you guys who you are. And Big
Speaker 3: Ee got personal and he told him, he told Xavier
Speaker 3: and Kofe like, look like I held your daughter, Kofe's
Speaker 3: new baby girl, I held your daughter after she was born. Xavier,
Speaker 3: when you won King of the Ring, you cried on
Speaker 3: my shoulders. And in the scariest moment of my career
Speaker 3: when he got injured his neck injury that he sustained
Speaker 3: in two tho in twenty twenty two, you know, y'all
Speaker 3: flew to be there by my side, you know, bedside.
Speaker 3: So I'm gonna be here to remind you guys who
Speaker 3: you are, and I will be your managers. You know,
Speaker 3: if this is what it's gonna take. And just when
Speaker 3: it looked like everything was gonna be okay, Xavier looked
Speaker 3: at Biggie and says, now, And that's when my heart
Speaker 3: started to sink. I was just like, Xavier, don't do this.
Speaker 3: You've been catching an attitude all for like the past
Speaker 3: two months, and I'm gonna give you to not catch
Speaker 3: an attitude at e now. But he continued and he
Speaker 3: was like, now at the last second, when we're fighting,
Speaker 3: and it was so bad. He was just like, when
Speaker 3: we're almost at the edge of the cliff and there's
Speaker 3: nothing left to do but jump, Now you want to
Speaker 3: be our manager? And he and Xavier was essentially saying like, look,
Speaker 3: you could have been our manager a long time ago.
Speaker 3: But then when Biggie tried to chime in and say, hey,
Speaker 3: I broke my neck, I couldn't be there for y'all whatever,
Speaker 3: Like I broke my neck. I was trying to get healed.
Speaker 3: But then Kofee was like no, and and that was
Speaker 3: what was so shocking. It's like, because usually Kofe as
Speaker 3: the veteran out of the whole group, he's usually the
Speaker 3: voice of reason. This time he wasn't, and he agreed
Speaker 3: with Xavier and said, Okay, yeah, you broke your neck,
Speaker 3: so what. That is such a wild sentence and everybody
Speaker 3: shares the same sentiment. It is a wild sentence to say, Okay, yeah,
Speaker 3: you broke your neck, so what. And then he proceeded
Speaker 3: to say stone cold Steve Auston broke his neck, Kurt
Speaker 3: Angle broke his neck, and even Edge broke his neck,
Speaker 3: and they still came back. And I'm sitting here like,
Speaker 3: that's ridiculous because it took a number of years for
Speaker 3: each of those people to actually come back from a
Speaker 3: broken neck. And then he even mentioned that Biggie didn't
Speaker 3: even have to have so he could have came back
Speaker 3: at any point, and I'm just like, that's ridiculous. And
Speaker 3: the part that's the most ridiculous to me is the
Speaker 3: fact that Biggie probably didn't even know how to come back.
Speaker 3: And I really feel like that's what people are missing.
Speaker 3: Big Ee probably did not know how to return, because
Speaker 3: how do you, as a classified heavyweight who used to
Speaker 3: be a WWE champion and used to be running around
Speaker 3: active n ring with the both of y'all, is just
Speaker 3: supposed to come back after an injury like that And
Speaker 3: just be all cheerleader. You think that that was immediately
Speaker 3: the first thing he wanted to do. No, the first
Speaker 3: thing he probably wanted to do was come back and
Speaker 3: fight with y'all. But they weren't showing him any grace
Speaker 3: with that. They were just like, no, you broke your
Speaker 3: neck and you decided not to come back with us.
Speaker 3: And then Xavier chimes in and he's just like, no,
Speaker 3: we left the light on for you so you could
Speaker 3: have something familiar to come back back to, and you
Speaker 3: still didn't come back because and even they didn't have
Speaker 3: a family to come or anybody waiting for them to
Speaker 3: come back, you did, and you still chose not to
Speaker 3: come back. You chose your broadcasting job that you do
Speaker 3: on the post shows, and you chose your girlfriend over us.
Speaker 3: And that's really when the shit hit the fan. Forgive
Speaker 3: me for cursing, but this is really where the shit
Speaker 3: hits the fan, because I'm just saying here, like, how
Speaker 3: y'all gonna mention Chris like that? That was so horrible
Speaker 3: And I loved how Chrisiam just decided that she was
Speaker 3: just gonna pop back at everybody on Twitter. I loved it.
Speaker 3: I absolutely loved it. Chrisium future missus, Biggie, you are
Speaker 3: alright with me. She is a girlfriend among girlfriends, because baby,
Speaker 3: if you disrespect my man, it's done. So I loved that.
Speaker 3: I love that. But the fact that she caught a
Speaker 3: stray in the midst of that, it was just really,
Speaker 3: really harsh. And they were just saying broken neck or not,
Speaker 3: you chose yourself over the brotherhood, and they pushed him
Speaker 3: out and big Ee was begging him. He was just like, nah,
Speaker 3: for ten years, y'all gonna do this to me, No,
Speaker 3: you can't. And then even after it seemed like they
Speaker 3: weren't gonna change their mind, he still tried, but it
Speaker 3: was to no avail. They turned their backs on him
Speaker 3: and he left the ring and it was so heartbreaking.
Speaker 3: And then to make it worse, they decided to grab
Speaker 3: each other's hands and say it's you and me now together.
Speaker 3: And then the cameraman was petty as f because right
Speaker 3: in between them is the Kobe Made You a picture
Speaker 3: where both and Woods were lifting him up on their
Speaker 3: shoulders after he won Cinema Dark Cinema. And then, to
Speaker 3: make matters even more worse, the Maajen necklace that Koche
Speaker 3: had been wearing the past couple he had it on
Speaker 3: in this segment anime. People do your things, do what
Speaker 3: you will with that, but that was just so horrendous.
Speaker 3: And to watch them come together to push out their
Speaker 3: brother when weeks they were having argument after argument after argument,
Speaker 3: y'all decided to come together and push out Big Eve.
Speaker 3: I was so angry. I was just like, I was heartbroken,
Speaker 3: I was shocked, and I was pissed off afterward because
Speaker 3: I'm sitting here like, how y'all gonna do that to
Speaker 3: him when he probably did not know how to come back.
Speaker 3: But I guess we're gonna see what happens. But if
Speaker 3: they gonna act like this, I'm gonna need for them
Speaker 3: to actually go and take them tag team titles off
Speaker 3: of Finn and JD since they want to be so
Speaker 3: big and bad. If y'all want to do all this,
Speaker 3: actually be the be the the bad tag team that
Speaker 3: y'all claim y'all want to be, and go after the
Speaker 3: tag titles and take them off. Don't start losing, actually
Speaker 3: start winning stuff now. Since y'all want to act like
Speaker 3: y'all big and bang and act like y'all who tied
Speaker 3: the bell like my Grandma used to say, come on,
Speaker 3: step up, be big boys and actually do the things
Speaker 3: since since y'all want to act like this. But yeah,
Speaker 3: the new day means a lot to me. So the
Speaker 3: idea that this turn happened just really shook everybody up,
Speaker 3: and it shook me up. But clearly the story has
Speaker 3: a lot more legs to it, and yeah, I just
Speaker 3: hope that this leads to more opportunities for them. But
Speaker 3: then I also feel that this isn't gonna be the
Speaker 3: last we see a Biggie either. I feel like this
Speaker 3: might be opening a door for him to possibly come
Speaker 3: back and knock their heads loose. I don't know, but yeah,
Speaker 3: this was a lot. This was a whole lot, and
Speaker 3: I'm still processing us as wrestling fans are probably still
Speaker 3: processing everything. But this was probably one of the most
Speaker 3: heartbreaking segments I'd ever seen in my whole life. So yeah,
Speaker 3: khoudos to y'all. Y'all smashed my heart during Christmas time. Thanks.
Speaker 3: Now moving into NXT, Jada Parker continues to Jada Parker
Speaker 3: her being upset at Lolavice for costing her her last
Speaker 3: chance in the Deadline Iron Survivor match for the Women
Speaker 3: and the promo that she coult on her was absolutely
Speaker 3: ridiculous in a good way. I was just like, girl,
Speaker 3: Jada just put her on the main roster right now
Speaker 3: because the level of attitude that this woman just can
Speaker 3: and used to give just it's just it's unparalleled for
Speaker 3: someone who just started a year ago. Like, really put
Speaker 3: that together. Jana Parker just started restling a year ago
Speaker 3: and she had she had championship matches this year, and
Speaker 3: she's going off on the microphone like this, cussing people out,
Speaker 3: beating up ops with bricks, all of the things. Janda
Speaker 3: Parker deserves everything. And I hope they give her a
Speaker 3: T shirt because I want to buy it. Yeah she's life,
Speaker 3: Jada is love, Jada is life, and yeah she's great.
Speaker 3: And I don't know, I'm gonna give my predictions for
Speaker 3: Deadline and a little bit. But mss ma'ham did the things.
Speaker 3: Also when it comes to NXT women, it looked like
Speaker 3: Carmen Petrovitch was having a little bit of understanding but
Speaker 3: then misunderstanding with Ashanti the Adonis because he was trying
Speaker 3: to help her but she didn't realize it. And he
Speaker 3: even gave her like roses and that was sweet and everything.
Speaker 3: But I'm really gonna need these people to get on
Speaker 3: the same page when it comes to communication, because they
Speaker 3: really could be a cute couple if they just get
Speaker 3: on the same page and actually communicate with each other.
Speaker 3: And Carton and her match with Nikita Lyons was really fire.
Speaker 3: Oh sorry, it was really fire. And I actually wouldn't
Speaker 3: mind seeing them fight each other like in a series
Speaker 3: because they both kind of have like the same background
Speaker 3: in terms of fighting. Even though I know Carmen has
Speaker 3: a little bit more experience with her martial art, there's
Speaker 3: still martial art experience that they have, and I really
Speaker 3: want to see them fight and lean more into that.
Speaker 3: But yeah, I'm just gonna eat for Carmen and Ashanti
Speaker 3: to actually communicate with each other more. And then Gigi
Speaker 3: Dolan came back, and I'm so happy she is back
Speaker 3: because she was like my favorite member of Toxic Contraction
Speaker 3: and I've been wanting her to get more stuff going
Speaker 3: for herself since Toxic Attraction fell apart and jac left her.
Speaker 3: And then she came back from her injury and now
Speaker 3: she's friends with Tatum Paxley and she won her magic
Speaker 3: itst Eazy Dame and that was really cool, but I'm
Speaker 3: gonna need for mister Sean Spears to stay far away
Speaker 3: from her. And that's exactly what I mean, Stay far
Speaker 3: away from Gig. I don't want Gig in another group
Speaker 3: or faction. I want her to be her own girl
Speaker 3: and find her footing on her own. That's what I want.
Speaker 3: I don't want Gig in another faction. Please don't put
Speaker 3: her in another faction. Keep Sean Spears away from her, unless,
Speaker 3: of course, Sean decides that he wants to get Tatum instead.
Speaker 3: I don't know, but either way, leave Gigi alone, Leave
Speaker 3: my baby alone. Please. Now, when it comes to NXT
Speaker 3: and the mean, I just want to know who attacked
Speaker 3: Eddie Thorpe at the end of NXT, I have a
Speaker 3: feeling that I know who did it, and I have
Speaker 3: really I have two suspects as to who could have
Speaker 3: done it. I feel like an absentee over Femi could
Speaker 3: have done it, or a member of Ava's bloodline could
Speaker 3: have done it to get back at him having to
Speaker 3: do with the scuffle that wound up having her get hurt.
Speaker 3: Even though it was proven that he didn't do it,
Speaker 3: per Se, I still feel like one of the bloodline
Speaker 3: members wasn't hereing that and they decided to attack him
Speaker 3: instead and just be like rah. So those are my
Speaker 3: two predictions as to who attacked Eddie Thorpe. I don't
Speaker 3: know if this is going to take him out of
Speaker 3: the Men's Iron Survival Match, but either way, this was
Speaker 3: an interesting way to end the episode Tuesday. I also
Speaker 3: loved watching Javon Evans get his flowers from XPOC. I
Speaker 3: thought it was so cool that Xbox told Javon like,
Speaker 3: when I faced Raised Ramon for the first time, I
Speaker 3: was your exact age. And when you really think about
Speaker 3: how long these men have been in the wrestling business,
Speaker 3: like for him to have been that young and had
Speaker 3: his big moment as the one two three kid to
Speaker 3: defeat Raisin Ramon and then go on of course to
Speaker 3: be friends with him and everything, like, it's just really
Speaker 3: crazy how some of these men really dedicate their entire
Speaker 3: adult lives to this one business. And now he's an
Speaker 3: elder and now he's giving props to the younger generation
Speaker 3: in Javon, and it's just really cool to see that.
Speaker 3: And then Javon was having a moment where he was like,
Speaker 3: oh my god, he just did this with me and
Speaker 3: I was just like, you know what, I would have
Speaker 3: done the exact same thing, So big up. Since javonn Evans,
Speaker 3: I loved his Dennis Robmin T shirt. It was definitely
Speaker 3: giving nineties vibes, of course. And then it was cool
Speaker 3: because Xbox had on an nWo T shirt and of
Speaker 3: course Dennis Robin was in the nWo and actually left
Speaker 3: the Chicago Bulls during playoff season to hang out with WCW,
Speaker 3: so seeing that tie in together was just really cool.
Speaker 3: So yay Team Javon. Also, who did Stevie Turner and
Speaker 3: Robert Stone see on NXT that made them straighten themselves up?
Speaker 3: I feel like we're gonna get an answer to it
Speaker 3: Saturday because I do have a cryptic conspiracy theory about
Speaker 3: Deadline that I'm going to share in a little bit.
Speaker 3: But I do want to know who this was, because
Speaker 3: Robert Stone straightened out his suit jacket and everything for
Speaker 3: this person, and I just got to know who was it.
Speaker 3: And when it comes to this little promo and this
Speaker 3: interaction between NXC Champion and Trick Williams and Ridge Holland
Speaker 3: along with Eric Bischoff, who they said was supposed to
Speaker 3: start a pot a little bit, but didn't really start
Speaker 3: that much. He gave it like a gentle tug and
Speaker 3: that was it. He kind of let Trick and Ridge
Speaker 3: do all the work. But when Trick got him together
Speaker 3: during his promo and told Ridge that don't let this
Speaker 3: ice school you, because I'll still give you a cold
Speaker 3: ass whooping, I said, yes, gather him, gather him for
Speaker 3: the culture because I didn't want Ridge Holland to win
Speaker 3: the NXC Championship anyway. But the way this man acted
Speaker 3: on Twitter when the New Day brought well, didn't break
Speaker 3: up when the New Day decided to we're going through
Speaker 3: their issues, and when he tweeted a picture of himself
Speaker 3: standing in the middle of the ring posed like this
Speaker 3: like he was happy. That was in bad app That
Speaker 3: was an absolute bad taste. And I'm gonna need for
Speaker 3: Ridge Holland to sit down. And yes, you can argue
Speaker 3: he was a hue he was supposed to. I don't care.
Speaker 3: I do not care. Ridge. You are a part of
Speaker 3: the problem as to why the New Day is in
Speaker 3: the situation that they're in now and you gloating about it.
Speaker 3: It's not cool. It wasn't cool, it was in poor taste.
Speaker 3: I'm just gonna need for him to sit all the
Speaker 3: way down, and I'm gonna need for Trick Williams to
Speaker 3: beat him for the culture immediately, expeditiously, please beat him up.
Speaker 3: So yeah, so now we're gonna move into my NXT
Speaker 3: deadline predictions. Of course, NXT Deadline is tomorrow. I have
Speaker 3: a theory because even though it's an NXT event, primarily
Speaker 3: usually you see the work, the letter is NXT above
Speaker 3: a pay per view that they normally have, but this
Speaker 3: is the first time they're doing Deadline with with it
Speaker 3: being branded as just a WWE event, and a prediction
Speaker 3: that I have is that we're we might get a
Speaker 3: visit from some main roster people. I'm really predicting that
Speaker 3: some main roster people might show up and enter, weave
Speaker 3: themselves into the NXT stuff and cause some records. So
Speaker 3: that's my prediction about that. Because we've never seen WWE
Speaker 3: just be We've never seen Deadline be called ww deadline.
Speaker 3: It's been NXT deadline, and the idea that it's WWE
Speaker 3: deadline this year there has to be a purposeful change
Speaker 3: behind it. So yeah, my prediction for the Women's Iron
Speaker 3: Survivor Match, I think I'm going to predict that maybe
Speaker 3: Zaria will win, because I know she did just get here,
Speaker 3: but I just feel like she just has like the
Speaker 3: stronger presence for me, and she might actually pose a
Speaker 3: different type of threat towards Roxanne if she were to
Speaker 3: have that opportunity at the NXCO Women's title. I kind
Speaker 3: of want for her to get to opportunity, just to
Speaker 3: see how she would go about it, because even though
Speaker 3: she's not that much of a high flyer, I feel
Speaker 3: like because she's a bigger girl with a bigger build,
Speaker 3: she has more power and I can't wait to see
Speaker 3: how that turns out. So I'm gonna predict that Zaria
Speaker 3: will win the Women's Iron Survivor Match, but I'm open
Speaker 3: to whoever winning it. I'm also I also wouldn't be
Speaker 3: mad if Julia want it because she has more of
Speaker 3: a gripe with Roxanne because roxy Ha cheated to be her.
Speaker 3: And then I also wouldn't mind Stephanie either, but either
Speaker 3: way or soul, but I'm predicting that maybe it's gonna
Speaker 3: be Zaria, So there's that prediction. There's also the underground
Speaker 3: match between Jada Parker and Lola Vice. Of course, Lola
Speaker 3: Vice is the winner of the first ever women's underground match.
Speaker 3: I think that she had against Natalia, so I think
Speaker 3: that maybe maybe Lola could win this. Maybe Lola could
Speaker 3: win this because I think Jada had the last lick
Speaker 3: on her with the brick and distracting her with that
Speaker 3: or whatever. I feel like Lola really might win this,
Speaker 3: but yet Jada will still have an amazing showing with
Speaker 3: it too, So I'm predicting Lolavice is gonna win because
Speaker 3: this is more of her wheelhouse than it is Jada's,
Speaker 3: So yeah, Lola might win that. I'm predicting Lola. Now,
Speaker 3: for the Tag Team Championship, Manch, you have Praxium going
Speaker 3: up against the No Quarter Catch Cruise, Tavion Heights, and
Speaker 3: Miles Born, and I just feel like Phraxium has to
Speaker 3: be the most luckiest unluckiest tag teams in all of
Speaker 3: wrestling right now, because for them to have so many
Speaker 3: communication issues, they still somehow wind up pulling through when
Speaker 3: it matters most when it comes to those NXC tag
Speaker 3: team titles. But I Loki feel like right now it's
Speaker 3: sort of coming to a head, and I feel like
Speaker 3: if Ren Sinclaire isn't going to possibly win the Women's
Speaker 3: Iron Survivor, then maybe the No Quarter Catch Crew should
Speaker 3: probably have a win and the Tag team titles should
Speaker 3: go home with them. So I think I'm going to
Speaker 3: predict that Tavion and Miles are gonna win and that
Speaker 3: Fraxiom are really gonna fracture because Nathan Fraser also has
Speaker 3: to participate in the Men's Iron Survivor match, and I'm
Speaker 3: pretty sure a lot of his attention seems to be
Speaker 3: mostly focused on that than it is the tag titles,
Speaker 3: and I feel like that could ultimately cost him. So
Speaker 3: I'm predicting that No Quarter Catch Crew is going to
Speaker 3: win the Tag Team titles, So that's my prediction for that,
Speaker 3: and then we have the Men's Iron Survivor match. I'm
Speaker 3: going to predict that wes Lee is gonna win because
Speaker 3: I was actually intrigued when he had that little interaction
Speaker 3: with Trick Williams and he wanted to fight him or whatever,
Speaker 3: but then he got interrupted by everybody else, by Jay
Speaker 3: Usso or whatever. So I really feel like wes Lee
Speaker 3: could be the Iron Survivor and have the opportunity. I
Speaker 3: don't really want it to be Etan Page, because no,
Speaker 3: I would love for it to be Javon Evans because
Speaker 3: that would just be an amazing opportunity for him and Eddie.
Speaker 3: That would be cool for him, and Nathan that would
Speaker 3: be okay for him. But yeah, I feel like it's
Speaker 3: Wesley's time. Yeah, Randy shining in on YouTube saying it's
Speaker 3: Wesley's time. It is his time. I feel like it
Speaker 3: is his time, and he he cut his hair and everything.
Speaker 3: I feel like maybe he's just ready for a fresh
Speaker 3: start and maybe this could be it. So I'm predicting
Speaker 3: it's gonna be Wesley as the Iron Survivor. And then
Speaker 3: finally we have the NAC Championship match with Trick Williams
Speaker 3: and Ridge Holland. Trick Williams just needs to beat Ridge
Speaker 3: Holland's ass for the culture, and that's all I'm gonna
Speaker 3: say about that. Trick is gonna retain and if Ridge
Speaker 3: does it, and if Ridge does be him, We're gonna riot.
Speaker 3: We're gonna riot hard. Okay, we ride at dawn. Now.
Speaker 3: When it comes to what I liked in wrestling this
Speaker 3: week in a w it's Mercedes my Name, the TBS
Speaker 3: champion and the new Japan Strong Women's Champion. She served
Speaker 3: a look and That was my favorite thing about the show.
Speaker 3: She's served a look. She looked so beautiful with this
Speaker 3: purple hair and this blue fur and this sheer jumpsuit.
Speaker 3: Miss ma'am looked absolutely gorgeous, and I just wanted to
Speaker 3: hold some space for that. She continues to serve us,
Speaker 3: even in the moments where she's recovering from me, she
Speaker 3: still serves us, and I love it. She's such a
Speaker 3: beautiful coat. Just stunny, absolutely stunny. And now we move
Speaker 3: into SmackDown. Now, I didn't necessarily like this part, and
Speaker 3: I love Tiffany Stretton down, but the fact that she
Speaker 3: won this match and it was cool for her to
Speaker 3: win in front of her hometown because it was her
Speaker 3: first time fighting in front of her hometown. I think
Speaker 3: that was really cool. And her gear was amazing. She
Speaker 3: was dressed up like a Minnesota Vikings cheerleader. It was
Speaker 3: really cute. But with her being Miss money in Bank,
Speaker 3: I wondered what was the purpose of her moving forward
Speaker 3: in this tournament when Electra not saying I really wanted
Speaker 3: Naomi to win because she has basically lost almost every
Speaker 3: other chance she has had at a main championship since
Speaker 3: she's returned and I don't like that for her. I
Speaker 3: do not like that for her at all. And the
Speaker 3: idea that Tiffany won with the help of Candice Laray
Speaker 3: at DA, I'm pretty sure they're feeding into more of
Speaker 3: that storyline with her and Naya Jacks or whatever. But
Speaker 3: I was kind of bummed out that that didn't go
Speaker 3: to Naomi, Like why why can't Naomi have an opportunity.
Speaker 3: I mean, it's cool that Tiffany has more of an
Speaker 3: opportunity to be a singles title holder at this point
Speaker 3: when it comes to the tournament for the United States
Speaker 3: Championship for the girls, but I don't know, I just
Speaker 3: feel like there has to be a reason why Naomi
Speaker 3: isn't being given fair opportunities or like she's always losing
Speaker 3: these big title matches, Like it's really hurting my feelings
Speaker 3: at this point. This woman was a champion in TNA
Speaker 3: and she comes back to ww I turns out all
Speaker 3: those issues that they had and what Jesus Randy's saying,
Speaker 3: I still got me a winning I hope she does.
Speaker 3: I really hope that Mia wins because she deserves it.
Speaker 3: But yeah, Tiffany is going forward in the tournament. She
Speaker 3: will go on to face Meechen and who. Of course,
Speaker 3: the winner of that match goes to the finals, which
Speaker 3: will be happening next Saturday at Saturday Night Man Event.
Speaker 3: And then you have Bailey going up against Chelsea Green,
Speaker 3: And in my dream scenario, I would have Chelsea Green
Speaker 3: fight me and m in the finals because those two
Speaker 3: women are the literal definition of what it means to
Speaker 3: be work courses in different ways, and also like you
Speaker 3: cannot knock Chelsea and her personality and how she keeps
Speaker 3: you entertained no matter what. And then you have Mia
Speaker 3: who is just fantastic all around as a wrestler and
Speaker 3: continues to evolve, so she would be a fantastic United
Speaker 3: States champion. And if she's going to fight somebody, I
Speaker 3: would want her to fight Chelsea Greens. So yeah, that
Speaker 3: would be cool. So that's what's going on with that tournament.
Speaker 3: And I'm not taking any opportunity or or not, you know,
Speaker 3: bashing anyone, but Tiffany over Naomi was interesting, but I
Speaker 3: am also still interested in figuring out why did Candice
Speaker 3: interfere the way that she did when it came to Naomi.
Speaker 3: So and then of course you have Bianca trying to
Speaker 3: find out the mystery of who attacked Jay Cargill, And
Speaker 3: there are some people online who really believe that Naomi
Speaker 3: was the one who did it, and that would break
Speaker 3: my heart because hello, Big three, why would you attack Jade?
Speaker 3: But and then there were a lot of people who
Speaker 3: were saying, because of the last problem they had after
Speaker 3: Beyonca's match, that that basically it's like a call coming
Speaker 3: from inside the house situation which bruised and Naomi did it,
Speaker 3: And I'm just like, why why would she crash out
Speaker 3: and destroy her sister like that? Like it's not that deep.
Speaker 3: Why But I don't know, But I just hope we
Speaker 3: figure it out. And I hope it wasn't Beyonca because
Speaker 3: that would suck. But you know, I'm just gonna need
Speaker 3: I don't necessarily want it to be Naomi, but I
Speaker 3: am ready for them to figure out who actually did it.
Speaker 3: So Yeah, Bianca continues to bel Air in our Hearts
Speaker 3: because Ms Ma'am had some hurt ribs from her Wargames match,
Speaker 3: but proceeded to fight in a match tonight against Piper Nibvin,
Speaker 3: and not only did she fight tooth and nailed for
Speaker 3: that victory, she lifted Piper NIBBT up on her own
Speaker 3: and gave her a kod on top of Chelsea Green
Speaker 3: and won the match. How do we deserve to live
Speaker 3: in a world with this strong, beautiful woman? Just? How? How? How?
Speaker 3: Just how? Beyonca just continues to just blow our minds
Speaker 3: with her tenacity, with her strength, with her prowess, with
Speaker 3: her everything. And I'm just so grateful every time I
Speaker 3: watch her wrestle, I just feel grateful because she's just
Speaker 3: so amazing, and she's just consistent and just so great.
Speaker 3: So this is a Bianca billaar stand account. It was
Speaker 3: so amazing to just watch her perform met well, So
Speaker 3: big ups to her for that. Randy is saying, I
Speaker 3: got a strange suspicion it was Naomi for the exact
Speaker 3: reason you mentioned earlier. No twining the big one since returning.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, I don't know. I hope that's not true, Randy.
Speaker 3: I hope it's not true. But oh god, us black
Speaker 3: women got to stick together. But okay, now I'm gonna
Speaker 3: need for them to do right by Carmelo Hayes. Okay,
Speaker 3: Carmelo is my guy, Okay, And to watch him constantly
Speaker 3: argue with other people like Cody and Nick aldis because
Speaker 3: he was the male's first round draft pick in SmackDown,
Speaker 3: and for him to get treated the way that he's
Speaker 3: getting treated after losing the United States title match and stuff,
Speaker 3: I really want Carmelo to have more. I was telling
Speaker 3: my boyfriend early last I believe it was last weekend
Speaker 3: during War Games that I feel like, since him and
Speaker 3: bron Breaker have always been neck and neck with each
Speaker 3: other or parallel to each other when it comes to
Speaker 3: their careers and NXT and stuff, I low key feel
Speaker 3: like bron Breaker has had like multiple opportunities to show
Speaker 3: all of his strengths, and now he's been I see
Speaker 3: Champion twice, and I feel like Carmelo hay is. For
Speaker 3: someone as talented as he is and for someone as
Speaker 3: charismatic as he is, he should not be struggling on screen,
Speaker 3: you know, for opportunities like this. Y'all should not be
Speaker 3: treating this man like an afterthought. You just shouldn't, because
Speaker 3: this man has wrestled all kinds of clinics with people
Speaker 3: and he's just amazing. So for the life of me,
Speaker 3: it just every time I see bron Breaker make another
Speaker 3: accomplishment to put under his belt, I feel like it's
Speaker 3: almost like he's outpacing Carmelo in terms of opportunity but
Speaker 3: not in terms of talent, and it just bothers me.
Speaker 3: I want Carmelo to have more, and it seems like
Speaker 3: Nick Allen wants to basically like surprise him with somebody else,
Speaker 3: because they did mention how they're shaking things up with
Speaker 3: Raw on NXT because of the Raw on Netflix thing.
Speaker 3: But I'm a need for him to not try to
Speaker 3: embarrass him and try to humble him because this man
Speaker 3: says he's him for a reason, and yeah, just stop
Speaker 3: trying to humble him and actually treat him like the
Speaker 3: big deal that he is. Don't try to little brow him.
Speaker 3: Stop it. It's just really annoying. Vaughn's saying, what's up, Hey,
Speaker 3: what's up? Thank you for watching? So yeah, let's stop
Speaker 3: little bro and Carmelo in twenty twenty five and let
Speaker 3: him be big bro please. So yeah, Von and comment
Speaker 3: saying unfortunately this is still about aesthetics. Melo's size is
Speaker 3: probably still seen as a hindrance. That may be true,
Speaker 3: but I don't necessarily see that brown Breaker is really
Speaker 3: that tall either, So I don't know what the deal is.
Speaker 3: And this isn't to like crap on anybody or whatever,
Speaker 3: but because they're so parallel with each other's careers, it's
Speaker 3: just kind of like, I just want Carmelo to have
Speaker 3: more opportunities, That's all I'm saying. So, yeah, those are
Speaker 3: my feelings about that. Give Carmelo his things now. When
Speaker 3: it comes to the tag division, I low key feel
Speaker 3: about this outcome the way I felt about Indie Heartwell
Speaker 3: turning heel with Candice Lirae, that maybe it shouldn't have
Speaker 3: happened because you had to Ma sol Chrampa getting more
Speaker 3: aggressive with everybody else and then getting aggressive with Johnny Gargano,
Speaker 3: only for Johnny to join them, join him in his
Speaker 3: underhanded tactics and hit one of the motor City machine
Speaker 3: guns in the balls and then cover him for the one, two,
Speaker 3: three and then win the titles while the rough wasn't looking.
Speaker 3: That was really nuts for me, and I really feel
Speaker 3: like more of a story would have been told or
Speaker 3: could have been told, if Johnny decided to stay a
Speaker 3: face in it, as opposed to just going along with
Speaker 3: what Toamaso was saying, like if they had split up,
Speaker 3: it would have been like a situation like it was
Speaker 3: in NXT, but it would have been like a different
Speaker 3: chapter or a different way of telling that story as
Speaker 3: opposed to just having him just join up with him. Now,
Speaker 3: I understand that there really aren't that many tag teams
Speaker 3: on SmackDown when it comes to that, but I don't know,
Speaker 3: I just felt a way about it, like I just
Speaker 3: felt like it was a situation where maybe there was
Speaker 3: more than could have been done if you had separated
Speaker 3: them than by just having Johnny just turn here. Like
Speaker 3: I don't know, but either way, they're the new tag
Speaker 3: team champions. I'm more than sure if that's the case.
Speaker 3: And this is how this went did they were the
Speaker 3: ones who attacked the street profits And I'm a need
Speaker 3: for the street profits to get their licks back because
Speaker 3: they have been getting you know, underhanded and shafted for
Speaker 3: far too long now and I'm tired of them not
Speaker 3: having their rifle things. So, yeah, this is weird, but
Speaker 3: it's whatever. Then you had Kevin Owens making Michael Cole
Speaker 3: come out in the car with him. First of all,
Speaker 3: how dare you make Michael Cole come out in twenty
Speaker 3: degree weather to meet you in the car for an
Speaker 3: interview that you really didn't even want to have How
Speaker 3: dare you disrespect the goat like that? And you yell
Speaker 3: at him, you be rate him for being friends with
Speaker 3: Cody Roads, and then to make matters worse, you act
Speaker 3: like you wasn't even gonna come in the building and
Speaker 3: you drive off after the interview is over, and then
Speaker 3: you come back and you beat up on Cody Rose
Speaker 3: and attack him after his match with Chad Gable, and
Speaker 3: you do it while wearing a T shirt with his
Speaker 3: daddy own it. Cody Rose needs to just destroy him forever.
Speaker 3: I mean, just destroy him forever, because the disrespect is
Speaker 3: wild coming from Ko, It's very wild. So yeah, that's
Speaker 3: pretty much all I liked in wrestling this week, and
Speaker 3: I cannot wait for it Saturday Night's main event because
Speaker 3: they're really putting it like a throwback type of thing.
Speaker 3: And even though I wasn't born during the time of
Speaker 3: which Saturday Nights main event was a thing, I was
Speaker 3: not born at that time that was in nineteen eighty five,
Speaker 3: I can't wait to sort of experience the throwback of
Speaker 3: it all. And I really love that they're bringing Jesse
Speaker 3: the Body Ventura back for commentary because his classic voice
Speaker 3: when watching Golden Era. WWE just takes you somewhere. It
Speaker 3: gives a vibe and I like it, so it's gonna
Speaker 3: be cool. I'm really excited about it, and I'm excited
Speaker 3: about the fact that they're going to keep having them.
Speaker 3: So if that's the case, bring Saturday nights main event
Speaker 3: to Birmingham, Alabama. Please, we need a pay per view WWE.
