<v Speaker 2>July first, twenty twenty two. I told you June goes fast.

8
00:00:39.560 --> 00:00:40.880
<v Speaker 2>I said it at the beginning. I said, this is

9
00:00:40.920 --> 00:00:42.679
<v Speaker 2>the fastest month of year. It's like it doesn't exist,

10
00:00:43.000 --> 00:00:45.119
<v Speaker 2>and here we are. It's July. After this, it's all

11
00:00:45.119 --> 00:00:49.679
<v Speaker 2>about but after July, guys, it's of course about SummerSlam,

12
00:00:49.719 --> 00:00:53.079
<v Speaker 2>but also it's about football. Man, if you're interested in football,

13
00:00:53.520 --> 00:00:57.280
<v Speaker 2>that's right around the corner, as are the baseball playoffs

14
00:00:57.320 --> 00:00:59.039
<v Speaker 2>in just a couple of months. It's crazy, right, We've

15
00:00:59.039 --> 00:01:01.560
<v Speaker 2>just gotten to freaking sou and I'm already talking about fall. Well,

16
00:01:01.600 --> 00:01:04.480
<v Speaker 2>let's enjoy while it's here, and we're gonna talk about

17
00:01:04.560 --> 00:01:07.879
<v Speaker 2>wrestling in just a second with Grace who has joined

18
00:01:07.959 --> 00:01:10.920
<v Speaker 2>us once again here on the ww Podcast with money

19
00:01:10.959 --> 00:01:13.840
<v Speaker 2>in the bank tomorrow night. We have a lot to

20
00:01:13.840 --> 00:01:16.840
<v Speaker 2>get through and we have a review show that's coming up.

21
00:01:16.879 --> 00:01:19.519
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna try to do the review show directly following

22
00:01:19.560 --> 00:01:23.680
<v Speaker 2>the event. Doesn't always happen. Sometimes I literally fall asleep

23
00:01:23.719 --> 00:01:27.200
<v Speaker 2>in the middle of the show just because dad life.

24
00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:29.799
<v Speaker 2>But I will make an effort to do that. If not,

25
00:01:29.920 --> 00:01:32.560
<v Speaker 2>it'll be early Sunday that I will get a review

26
00:01:32.719 --> 00:01:35.319
<v Speaker 2>out to you. I promise I'm gonna try to give

27
00:01:35.359 --> 00:01:37.519
<v Speaker 2>that review as quickly as I can. It's just not

28
00:01:37.560 --> 00:01:40.480
<v Speaker 2>always feasible. But that's what's gonna be going on the

29

<v Speaker 3>Thanks for having me on. I'm excited to be back on.

63
00:03:19.240 --> 00:03:21.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, me too, and it's certainly going to be a

64
00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:23.159
<v Speaker 2>big event tomorrow night. I was screwed up the whole

65
00:03:23.199 --> 00:03:24.879
<v Speaker 2>week because I thought it for some reason, it was

66
00:03:24.879 --> 00:03:26.840
<v Speaker 2>on a Sunday. I'm still getting used to these like

67
00:03:26.840 --> 00:03:29.319
<v Speaker 2>Saturday deals after being a wrestling fan for twenty five years.

68
00:03:29.360 --> 00:03:31.360
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, it's drilled int your head that it's a Sunday,

69
00:03:31.639 --> 00:03:34.080
<v Speaker 2>but till it's tomorrow night, everybody. In case you're like

70
00:03:34.199 --> 00:03:36.960
<v Speaker 2>me and you're absent minded, it is tomorrow night on

71
00:03:38.240 --> 00:03:41.680
<v Speaker 2>the ww network. So but before we get going, Grace,

72
00:03:41.919 --> 00:03:43.680
<v Speaker 2>just I want to ask you about your podcast, because

73
00:03:43.680 --> 00:03:46.319
<v Speaker 2>I know that you've recently started one and where can

74
00:03:46.360 --> 00:03:46.919
<v Speaker 2>people find you?

75
00:03:48.319 --> 00:03:53.560
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, so we're on most podcasting platforms, Spotify, Apple, iHeartRadio,

76
00:03:53.639 --> 00:03:58.240
<v Speaker 4>stuff like that. We are exclusively only talk about women's wrestling.

77
00:03:58.360 --> 00:04:00.280
<v Speaker 3>Evolutionary Wrestling Podcast.

78
00:04:00.879 --> 00:04:04.240
<v Speaker 4>I basically just started it because I love a women's

79
00:04:04.240 --> 00:04:06.639
<v Speaker 4>wrestling and I don't think it's talked about as much

80
00:04:06.639 --> 00:04:10.319
<v Speaker 4>as it needs to be, and right now, the women

81
00:04:10.639 --> 00:04:15.360
<v Speaker 4>are overperforming the guys and outperforming the guys in my opinion,

82
00:04:15.479 --> 00:04:18.279
<v Speaker 4>So I thought that it would be a great idea to,

83
00:04:18.319 --> 00:04:21.480
<v Speaker 4>you know, start a podcast and just the only contact

84
00:04:21.839 --> 00:04:24.800
<v Speaker 4>content being about women's wrestling. So if you want to

85
00:04:24.879 --> 00:04:29.120
<v Speaker 4>check us out, look up Evolutionary Wrestling Podcast and tune

86
00:04:29.160 --> 00:04:31.000
<v Speaker 4>in for some great wrestling content.

87
00:04:31.160 --> 00:04:34.519
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely, though there is not there's not enough focus on

88
00:04:34.560 --> 00:04:37.319
<v Speaker 2>the women's uh you know, in terms of the podcasting

89
00:04:37.360 --> 00:04:40.319
<v Speaker 2>feel for just the women's wrestling, which is great. So yeah,

90
00:04:40.319 --> 00:04:42.319
<v Speaker 2>I know, guys, I'd really highly recommend it. Check out

91
00:04:42.319 --> 00:04:44.920
<v Speaker 2>the Evolutionary Wrestling Podcast for sure. And we've got some

92
00:04:45.279 --> 00:04:48.240
<v Speaker 2>women's matches that we'll get to. Some that I'm really

93
00:04:48.279 --> 00:04:51.319
<v Speaker 2>excited about. One that I'm like kind of about with

94
00:04:51.319 --> 00:04:54.279
<v Speaker 2>the Smack that Women's Championship, But let's start off with

95
00:04:54.319 --> 00:05:00.240
<v Speaker 2>the ussoson street profits for the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship.

96
00:05:00.439 --> 00:05:03.279
<v Speaker 2>I mean, do I hate to say this one sounds predictable,

97
00:05:03.279 --> 00:05:04.959
<v Speaker 2>but maybe you have a different take on a grace.

98
00:05:04.959 --> 00:05:05.920
<v Speaker 2>What do you think about this one?

99
00:05:07.319 --> 00:05:09.720
<v Speaker 4>No, I can't differ from you on this one. If

100
00:05:09.720 --> 00:05:12.600
<v Speaker 4>you have the USOS, I have the usas winning this one.

101
00:05:12.759 --> 00:05:15.199
<v Speaker 4>I don't see them dropping their belts. I don't think

102
00:05:15.199 --> 00:05:18.279
<v Speaker 4>it makes any sense, and if they did, that would

103
00:05:18.279 --> 00:05:21.240
<v Speaker 4>be I feel like a twist that no one would

104
00:05:21.279 --> 00:05:24.759
<v Speaker 4>see coming. But this is a match I mean we've

105
00:05:24.800 --> 00:05:28.959
<v Speaker 4>seen a lot. I mean we've seen it multiple multiple times,

106
00:05:29.199 --> 00:05:31.720
<v Speaker 4>and it's they never have a bad match together. So

107
00:05:31.759 --> 00:05:34.680
<v Speaker 4>I'm not upset that the match is happening, because it's

108
00:05:35.040 --> 00:05:36.680
<v Speaker 4>going to be a great match no matter what when

109
00:05:36.680 --> 00:05:39.560
<v Speaker 4>you put these guys in the ring together. But I

110
00:05:39.639 --> 00:05:42.199
<v Speaker 4>just I don't see the USOS losing those titles right now.

111
00:05:42.839 --> 00:05:45.759
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they're like, I think that the quality of the

112
00:05:45.800 --> 00:05:47.920
<v Speaker 2>match is most of what people are going to be

113
00:05:47.959 --> 00:05:49.920
<v Speaker 2>looking for here because we know it's going to be

114
00:05:49.959 --> 00:05:52.040
<v Speaker 2>really good with all four of these men who are

115
00:05:52.240 --> 00:05:55.600
<v Speaker 2>ultra talented in the ring, and the match quality is

116
00:05:55.639 --> 00:05:57.879
<v Speaker 2>probably what's going to save this from being kind of

117
00:05:57.920 --> 00:06:00.480
<v Speaker 2>a snooze fest only because the outcome is all But

118
00:06:00.759 --> 00:06:02.800
<v Speaker 2>I mean it's about a ninety nine percent chance, like

119
00:06:02.839 --> 00:06:05.360
<v Speaker 2>this one is a pretty safe bet if you actually

120
00:06:05.360 --> 00:06:07.160
<v Speaker 2>have money on it, that the users are going to retain.

121
00:06:07.160 --> 00:06:10.040
<v Speaker 2>There's almost no reason at all for the Street Profits

122
00:06:10.079 --> 00:06:15.519
<v Speaker 2>to capture the WWE Undisputed Tag Team Championships, particularly because

123
00:06:15.720 --> 00:06:19.839
<v Speaker 2>also the WWE has done their typical formula of having

124
00:06:19.879 --> 00:06:23.639
<v Speaker 2>the champions lose, whether it's in singles, competition or in

125
00:06:23.720 --> 00:06:26.680
<v Speaker 2>a tag team like week after week after week only

126
00:06:26.720 --> 00:06:29.560
<v Speaker 2>to retain the championships when they're on the line, and

127
00:06:29.639 --> 00:06:31.560
<v Speaker 2>that's what's gonna happen here. But yeah, the quality of

128
00:06:31.560 --> 00:06:34.000
<v Speaker 2>the match I have no issue with. And I think

129
00:06:34.040 --> 00:06:36.199
<v Speaker 2>as fans, we need to look at this and go, Okay,

130
00:06:36.279 --> 00:06:38.800
<v Speaker 2>let's just let's just enjoy the journey of it, because

131
00:06:38.839 --> 00:06:40.000
<v Speaker 2>we all know the destination.

132
00:06:41.279 --> 00:06:41.720
<v Speaker 1>M hmm.

133
00:06:42.160 --> 00:06:45.680
<v Speaker 4>I think the WW kind of has shot themselves in

134
00:06:45.759 --> 00:06:50.480
<v Speaker 4>the foot with they have a lot of matches that

135
00:06:50.600 --> 00:06:54.319
<v Speaker 4>are so predictable and not in the way of like

136
00:06:55.560 --> 00:06:59.279
<v Speaker 4>it's like with the USOS, they it wouldn't make no

137
00:06:59.360 --> 00:07:01.120
<v Speaker 4>sense for them to the titles right now, but that's

138
00:07:01.120 --> 00:07:03.160
<v Speaker 4>how they've built the story. So when you have big

139
00:07:03.199 --> 00:07:07.639
<v Speaker 4>matches like this and then you make your storyline so

140
00:07:07.759 --> 00:07:10.560
<v Speaker 4>predictable to the fact that like, if it won't the

141
00:07:10.600 --> 00:07:13.279
<v Speaker 4>opposite way, it would make no sense. It's like you're

142
00:07:13.319 --> 00:07:15.839
<v Speaker 4>just watching a match where you definitely know the outcome.

143
00:07:16.480 --> 00:07:18.519
<v Speaker 4>But the WW does it to themselves, you know.

144
00:07:19.079 --> 00:07:21.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they do a lot of the what they do

145
00:07:21.160 --> 00:07:23.560
<v Speaker 2>with self inflicted wounds, and a lot of times you

146
00:07:23.600 --> 00:07:27.160
<v Speaker 2>can tell that the creative refuses to change their formulas

147
00:07:27.199 --> 00:07:30.199
<v Speaker 2>and how they do things, and even the way sometimes

148
00:07:30.199 --> 00:07:34.800
<v Speaker 2>matches are structured. It's always starts out with usually the babyface,

149
00:07:34.920 --> 00:07:37.399
<v Speaker 2>you know, getting some offense to get the crowd into it.

150
00:07:37.439 --> 00:07:40.279
<v Speaker 2>The heel takes over. There's a couple of hope spots

151
00:07:40.560 --> 00:07:42.600
<v Speaker 2>that you know, like it's a lot of you can

152
00:07:42.639 --> 00:07:44.759
<v Speaker 2>just feel when a match is coming to its conclusion

153
00:07:45.000 --> 00:07:46.600
<v Speaker 2>and you can almost tell you you know what I mean,

154
00:07:46.639 --> 00:07:48.319
<v Speaker 2>Like every match, I don't care who it is. It's

155
00:07:49.240 --> 00:07:52.480
<v Speaker 2>just the WWE style and that unfortunately will never change.

156
00:07:52.480 --> 00:07:54.639
<v Speaker 2>But I mean it's not all bad. But uh yeah,

157
00:07:54.639 --> 00:07:57.319
<v Speaker 2>I hear what you're saying. So all right, well let's

158
00:07:57.399 --> 00:08:00.879
<v Speaker 2>talk about the United States Championship. This match, I gotta say,

159
00:08:01.040 --> 00:08:04.079
<v Speaker 2>isn't as predictable I think as the Tag Team Championship.

160
00:08:04.480 --> 00:08:08.160
<v Speaker 2>We have Theory versus Bobby Lashley. There's certainly a favorite here,

161
00:08:08.319 --> 00:08:10.480
<v Speaker 2>but I don't know, Grace, what do you think about this?

162
00:08:12.560 --> 00:08:16.600
<v Speaker 3>So I would say Theory is gonna retain.

163
00:08:18.639 --> 00:08:24.240
<v Speaker 4>And this could go either way. But the reason I

164
00:08:24.279 --> 00:08:27.600
<v Speaker 4>have like kind of a prediction not only for the winner,

165
00:08:27.639 --> 00:08:30.759
<v Speaker 4>but for afterwards. I think that Theory is gonna retain

166
00:08:30.959 --> 00:08:34.159
<v Speaker 4>and I think there's a possibility that John Cena comes

167
00:08:34.200 --> 00:08:39.440
<v Speaker 4>out and gets in his face and you know, wants

168
00:08:39.879 --> 00:08:41.799
<v Speaker 4>looks like he wants the title, and then they have

169
00:08:42.039 --> 00:08:45.159
<v Speaker 4>a thing for Summer Slam and builds the Summer Slam.

170
00:08:45.639 --> 00:08:50.799
<v Speaker 4>But that could also happen if Bobby won the title

171
00:08:50.840 --> 00:08:52.960
<v Speaker 4>as well. They could still have a few and the

172
00:08:53.000 --> 00:08:56.559
<v Speaker 4>title wouldn't need to be in it. But I would

173
00:08:56.600 --> 00:09:00.279
<v Speaker 4>say theory retains. Plus Sena coming out at the end.

174
00:09:00.480 --> 00:09:02.519
<v Speaker 4>I also think that would be awesome if it happened.

175
00:09:03.320 --> 00:09:06.159
<v Speaker 2>See I like that. So first of all, let me

176
00:09:06.240 --> 00:09:07.840
<v Speaker 2>just say right off the bat, yeah, I think theory

177
00:09:07.879 --> 00:09:10.600
<v Speaker 2>does retain. I'm not as confident as the tag team

178
00:09:10.639 --> 00:09:13.600
<v Speaker 2>title match. There's certainly a chance Bobby wins, but given

179
00:09:13.879 --> 00:09:17.039
<v Speaker 2>where they've positioned theory and that, I truly believe McMahon,

180
00:09:17.320 --> 00:09:19.960
<v Speaker 2>not just in story, but behind the scenes, is going

181
00:09:20.039 --> 00:09:23.559
<v Speaker 2>to get behind theory. And there's there's rumors of Sena

182
00:09:23.919 --> 00:09:26.879
<v Speaker 2>versus Theory at Summerslam's rumors of Sena in theory all

183
00:09:26.919 --> 00:09:29.799
<v Speaker 2>the way to Summer or to WrestleMania next year. That's

184
00:09:29.840 --> 00:09:33.720
<v Speaker 2>also been rumored. According to Wrestling Observer, Dave Meltzer, lover

185
00:09:33.799 --> 00:09:36.480
<v Speaker 2>hate him, and sometimes he does have good information that's

186
00:09:36.480 --> 00:09:38.840
<v Speaker 2>the rumors as of now that it could be at

187
00:09:38.840 --> 00:09:41.679
<v Speaker 2>WrestleMania that these two face off. But that doesn't mean

188
00:09:41.679 --> 00:09:44.679
<v Speaker 2>that SummerSlam can't happen either. It's their quote unquote WrestleMania

189
00:09:44.679 --> 00:09:47.679
<v Speaker 2>of the summer. So I don't I don't. I don't

190
00:09:47.720 --> 00:09:50.559
<v Speaker 2>think that your prediction is impossible. In fact, I'd give

191
00:09:50.559 --> 00:09:53.039
<v Speaker 2>it a fifty to fifty with John Cena. Now, he

192
00:09:53.080 --> 00:09:56.440
<v Speaker 2>did get punked out a little bit by Theory on Raw.

193
00:09:56.519 --> 00:09:59.000
<v Speaker 2>We saw their interaction. The crowd was into it. I mean,

194
00:09:59.000 --> 00:10:00.919
<v Speaker 2>the crowd was like, oh, here we go, like we've

195
00:10:00.960 --> 00:10:03.879
<v Speaker 2>been hearing about this. They come face to face Sina,

196
00:10:04.120 --> 00:10:06.399
<v Speaker 2>you know, ditches him when he tries to take a selfie.

197
00:10:06.440 --> 00:10:08.960
<v Speaker 2>That's all that was said or that's all that was done.

198
00:10:09.240 --> 00:10:11.720
<v Speaker 2>And then now we're here in the match and here

199
00:10:11.799 --> 00:10:14.440
<v Speaker 2>is Theory in Bobby Lashley, and before we get to Seena,

200
00:10:14.559 --> 00:10:16.519
<v Speaker 2>I think that Lashly in Theory is gonna be a

201
00:10:16.559 --> 00:10:20.200
<v Speaker 2>really good match. Like they're both really good workers, different styles,

202
00:10:20.519 --> 00:10:23.480
<v Speaker 2>you know, certainly, you know, we have Bobby Lashley's more

203
00:10:23.480 --> 00:10:25.320
<v Speaker 2>of a powerhouse. We have Theory, who was a little

204
00:10:25.320 --> 00:10:28.799
<v Speaker 2>bit more athletic and gymnastic in a way. So this match,

205
00:10:28.960 --> 00:10:31.360
<v Speaker 2>I'd expect to be a lot of fun, and I

206
00:10:31.440 --> 00:10:34.320
<v Speaker 2>ultimately see Theory cheating to win. I mean, I don't

207
00:10:34.320 --> 00:10:37.519
<v Speaker 2>think he'll outright beat Bobby Lashley clean. He seems to

208
00:10:37.519 --> 00:10:40.840
<v Speaker 2>be a guy that'll take advantage of a situation, an ipoke,

209
00:10:40.919 --> 00:10:43.559
<v Speaker 2>a low blow, a title to the face behind the

210
00:10:43.559 --> 00:10:46.000
<v Speaker 2>referees back. It'll be a kind of I think an

211
00:10:46.039 --> 00:10:49.200
<v Speaker 2>old school heel victory, pulling up the tights, something along

212
00:10:49.240 --> 00:10:52.200
<v Speaker 2>those lines to get the victory over Bobby and then

213
00:10:52.279 --> 00:10:54.480
<v Speaker 2>gloat about it and take a selfie with Bobby on

214
00:10:54.519 --> 00:10:56.919
<v Speaker 2>the canvas, whatever it may be. But as far as

215
00:10:57.000 --> 00:10:59.879
<v Speaker 2>John Cena coming out again, I'd give it fifty to fifty.

216
00:11:00.240 --> 00:11:01.960
<v Speaker 2>I don't think John Sene is going to come out.

217
00:11:02.039 --> 00:11:04.320
<v Speaker 2>If it's the second match on the show, or if it's,

218
00:11:04.600 --> 00:11:06.559
<v Speaker 2>you know, kind of in the first half of the show.

219
00:11:06.679 --> 00:11:09.559
<v Speaker 2>Sena appearing here should be a big deal, and it

220
00:11:09.559 --> 00:11:12.919
<v Speaker 2>would be a weird placement for Theory and Lashly if

221
00:11:12.960 --> 00:11:14.519
<v Speaker 2>it is the second match. Now, this is just the

222
00:11:14.519 --> 00:11:17.279
<v Speaker 2>way I'm looking at the lineup now, But if the

223
00:11:17.360 --> 00:11:19.960
<v Speaker 2>later in the show that this match happens, I think

224
00:11:20.000 --> 00:11:22.679
<v Speaker 2>the higher likelihood of John Cena appearing.

225
00:11:23.519 --> 00:11:27.039
<v Speaker 4>See the only reason I even think John Cena is

226
00:11:27.080 --> 00:11:29.879
<v Speaker 4>going to come out is purely based off of the

227
00:11:29.919 --> 00:11:32.759
<v Speaker 4>promo he gave on last Monday.

228
00:11:32.519 --> 00:11:33.720
<v Speaker 3>Night roll Is.

229
00:11:34.360 --> 00:11:36.559
<v Speaker 4>I feel like it was such a red hearing for

230
00:11:36.720 --> 00:11:40.000
<v Speaker 4>him when he was talking about having a match or

231
00:11:40.039 --> 00:11:42.000
<v Speaker 4>coming back in the ring, and he was saying, how

232
00:11:42.039 --> 00:11:44.360
<v Speaker 4>you know, it's there's not going to be one and

233
00:11:44.399 --> 00:11:46.240
<v Speaker 4>I will be back in but I don't know when.

234
00:11:46.559 --> 00:11:49.679
<v Speaker 4>So I feel like it made everyone think that, oh, well,

235
00:11:49.720 --> 00:11:51.399
<v Speaker 4>we thought he was going to you know, be in

236
00:11:51.440 --> 00:11:53.480
<v Speaker 4>the ring soon, but now that he's you know, saying

237
00:11:53.519 --> 00:11:56.200
<v Speaker 4>it in the now, maybe he's not.

238
00:11:57.000 --> 00:11:58.440
<v Speaker 3>So I feel like that's a red herring.

239
00:11:58.639 --> 00:12:01.720
<v Speaker 4>So if he shows up soon than everyone thinks, I

240
00:12:01.720 --> 00:12:05.159
<v Speaker 4>think that was like the plan for him to you know.

241
00:12:05.759 --> 00:12:07.879
<v Speaker 3>Say that he's, oh, you know, it might be a long.

242
00:12:07.799 --> 00:12:10.840
<v Speaker 4>Time, but then he ends up now this weekend, like

243
00:12:11.279 --> 00:12:13.600
<v Speaker 4>the same week so I feel like it was a

244
00:12:13.639 --> 00:12:14.080
<v Speaker 4>red herring.

245
00:12:14.159 --> 00:12:16.279
<v Speaker 3>But that's the only reason I'm saying that he would

246
00:12:16.360 --> 00:12:16.840
<v Speaker 3>come out.

247
00:12:16.919 --> 00:12:19.799
<v Speaker 2>Sneaky, Yeah, because the way he was speaking, you would

248
00:12:19.879 --> 00:12:23.039
<v Speaker 2>just buy, you know, just by his tone, think like

249
00:12:23.080 --> 00:12:25.879
<v Speaker 2>you said, yeah, that'll probably mean what Survivors series maybe

250
00:12:25.919 --> 00:12:28.399
<v Speaker 2>towards the Rumbull wrestling. Yeah, I mean that that is

251
00:12:28.440 --> 00:12:31.000
<v Speaker 2>a that's a good point because even I was duped

252
00:12:31.000 --> 00:12:32.960
<v Speaker 2>by that, thinking, yeah, he doesn't sound like he's going

253
00:12:33.039 --> 00:12:35.279
<v Speaker 2>to be here like next week. It sounds like it's

254
00:12:35.279 --> 00:12:38.120
<v Speaker 2>going to be several months. So yeah, I think that's

255
00:12:38.120 --> 00:12:42.720
<v Speaker 2>a nice, uh subtle way to fool the fans into

256
00:12:42.720 --> 00:12:44.440
<v Speaker 2>thinking that it's going to be a while, when in fact,

257
00:12:44.480 --> 00:12:46.080
<v Speaker 2>it's like a week away that I'm gonna come back.

258
00:12:46.840 --> 00:12:47.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

259
00:12:47.320 --> 00:12:50.240
<v Speaker 2>I like that, And certainly again Summertimes their second biggest

260
00:12:50.240 --> 00:12:52.440
<v Speaker 2>pay per view of the year, why wouldn't you want

261
00:12:52.519 --> 00:12:55.799
<v Speaker 2>Theory and John Cena And you know, having John Cena

262
00:12:55.799 --> 00:12:58.679
<v Speaker 2>with the United States Championship in that matchup with Theory,

263
00:12:58.799 --> 00:13:00.919
<v Speaker 2>there's a lot of history with seen in the United

264
00:13:00.919 --> 00:13:03.759
<v Speaker 2>States Championship. He's the one that like resurrected it back

265
00:13:03.799 --> 00:13:06.759
<v Speaker 2>to life when he was doing the uh the Open

266
00:13:06.840 --> 00:13:08.679
<v Speaker 2>Challenges a number of years ago. I mean that was

267
00:13:08.720 --> 00:13:10.440
<v Speaker 2>actually a lot of fun. I remember that, and that

268
00:13:10.840 --> 00:13:14.360
<v Speaker 2>was a formula that WWE took and really just kind

269
00:13:14.360 --> 00:13:16.840
<v Speaker 2>of duplicated it, not just for the US title, but

270
00:13:16.919 --> 00:13:20.399
<v Speaker 2>other titles as well, for Babyface champions So yeah, this

271
00:13:20.399 --> 00:13:22.120
<v Speaker 2>could be a lot of fun, and you know, I'm

272
00:13:22.120 --> 00:13:24.480
<v Speaker 2>not you're talking me into it. I'm still gonna stick

273
00:13:24.519 --> 00:13:27.200
<v Speaker 2>by no. I'm gonna stay no Sina, but I still

274
00:13:27.279 --> 00:13:29.200
<v Speaker 2>stay fifty to fifty. I think both of us agree

275
00:13:29.200 --> 00:13:30.399
<v Speaker 2>though that theory is retaining.

276
00:13:31.559 --> 00:13:36.559
<v Speaker 4>See I also the reason I'm I I think there's

277
00:13:36.600 --> 00:13:39.039
<v Speaker 4>going to retain, but there's I agree with you.

278
00:13:39.200 --> 00:13:40.919
<v Speaker 3>This match could go either way.

279
00:13:41.639 --> 00:13:44.360
<v Speaker 4>And the reason it could go the other way too

280
00:13:44.720 --> 00:13:48.440
<v Speaker 4>is because maybe they don't want winning the US Championship.

281
00:13:48.480 --> 00:13:52.600
<v Speaker 4>Maybe they want him winning the ICE title because then

282
00:13:52.639 --> 00:13:54.919
<v Speaker 4>he would become a Grand Slam champion. That was that's,

283
00:13:55.000 --> 00:13:57.039
<v Speaker 4>you know, one of his last accolades that he needs

284
00:13:57.080 --> 00:14:01.720
<v Speaker 4>to get. And then they can see WW wanting him

285
00:14:01.720 --> 00:14:03.840
<v Speaker 4>to be that top guy in the company, to have

286
00:14:03.960 --> 00:14:06.600
<v Speaker 4>the most championships, to beat Rick Flair, because they want

287
00:14:06.639 --> 00:14:08.840
<v Speaker 4>John Cena to be the guy in WW.

288
00:14:09.000 --> 00:14:10.440
<v Speaker 3>They want people to look up.

289
00:14:10.879 --> 00:14:13.799
<v Speaker 4>John Cena and see him being the you know, have

290
00:14:13.919 --> 00:14:15.720
<v Speaker 4>the most championships.

291
00:14:16.120 --> 00:14:19.879
<v Speaker 3>So I know that WW wants to make him. He

292
00:14:19.960 --> 00:14:20.799
<v Speaker 3>just needs one more.

293
00:14:21.480 --> 00:14:23.919
<v Speaker 4>So that's why on the other hand, I could see

294
00:14:23.960 --> 00:14:26.039
<v Speaker 4>him maybe also not coming out because they want to

295
00:14:26.360 --> 00:14:29.639
<v Speaker 4>maybe have him go again schoonther and then go for

296
00:14:29.679 --> 00:14:32.080
<v Speaker 4>the IC title. So you can become a Grand Slam champion,

297
00:14:32.519 --> 00:14:34.720
<v Speaker 4>so it could go it could go either way.

298
00:14:34.879 --> 00:14:38.279
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean I think that John Cena is a

299
00:14:38.279 --> 00:14:40.440
<v Speaker 2>guy that is not he sounds like I mean, he

300
00:14:40.480 --> 00:14:42.399
<v Speaker 2>said multiple matches. Do I think it's going to be

301
00:14:42.519 --> 00:14:46.120
<v Speaker 2>an Intercontinental Championship run. I mean, if he's one championship

302
00:14:46.120 --> 00:14:48.360
<v Speaker 2>away from being a Grand Slam champion, I'm sure they

303
00:14:48.399 --> 00:14:50.679
<v Speaker 2>would like to have that run with him. But also

304
00:14:50.759 --> 00:14:54.120
<v Speaker 2>the fact that to get their his seventeenth World championship,

305
00:14:54.559 --> 00:14:57.759
<v Speaker 2>whatever match that may way, maybe it probably should happen

306
00:14:57.799 --> 00:15:00.639
<v Speaker 2>at wrestle Mania given that at this point, I don't

307
00:15:00.639 --> 00:15:03.240
<v Speaker 2>think they have any love loss for Rick Flair with

308
00:15:03.279 --> 00:15:06.120
<v Speaker 2>all the bad pr he got earlier this year, with

309
00:15:06.519 --> 00:15:09.320
<v Speaker 2>the plane ride from Hell and the allegations that are

310
00:15:10.120 --> 00:15:13.679
<v Speaker 2>seem to be pretty believable with what Rick Flair did

311
00:15:13.679 --> 00:15:16.279
<v Speaker 2>on the plane, you know, not good. So they distance

312
00:15:16.399 --> 00:15:20.039
<v Speaker 2>himself and you know, as they should. So you know,

313
00:15:20.120 --> 00:15:21.799
<v Speaker 2>I don't think that they have any love loss for

314
00:15:21.879 --> 00:15:24.360
<v Speaker 2>Rick Flair right now, and John Cena is their guy,

315
00:15:25.200 --> 00:15:27.120
<v Speaker 2>and they I mean, they spent the entire monthy at

316
00:15:27.200 --> 00:15:31.039
<v Speaker 2>Raw just drooling over him, with the video packages and

317
00:15:31.039 --> 00:15:33.840
<v Speaker 2>people standing and clapping and which I wasn't a fan

318
00:15:33.879 --> 00:15:35.960
<v Speaker 2>of ef anabelist my raw review. I did not like

319
00:15:36.039 --> 00:15:39.000
<v Speaker 2>that whole everybody standing a concession line and let's all

320
00:15:39.039 --> 00:15:41.559
<v Speaker 2>clap and you know, heels and baby faces. No, no,

321
00:15:41.840 --> 00:15:44.159
<v Speaker 2>let's not worry about it, guys, everything that just happened.

322
00:15:44.320 --> 00:15:46.799
<v Speaker 2>We're just gonna stand in here and applaud John Cena.

323
00:15:46.799 --> 00:15:48.879
<v Speaker 2>I you know, there's things that you can do. That

324
00:15:49.000 --> 00:15:52.039
<v Speaker 2>was not a moment for that. But anyway, so yeah,

325
00:15:52.080 --> 00:15:53.919
<v Speaker 2>we're talking about John Cena here, and it's theory and

326
00:15:53.960 --> 00:15:57.639
<v Speaker 2>Bobby Lashley. But I do think theory attains. But you're right,

327
00:15:57.799 --> 00:16:01.240
<v Speaker 2>Bobby Lashley has an opportunity here to capture it, and

328
00:16:01.279 --> 00:16:03.399
<v Speaker 2>I think that they have placed Bobby Lashley in a

329
00:16:03.399 --> 00:16:06.559
<v Speaker 2>good position to be believable to do that. So all right,

330
00:16:06.679 --> 00:16:09.399
<v Speaker 2>I want to move on to the SmackDown Women's Championship,

331
00:16:09.559 --> 00:16:12.200
<v Speaker 2>and I'm gonna take this one first, and maybe you

332
00:16:12.200 --> 00:16:14.120
<v Speaker 2>can put a more positive spin on it than I can,

333
00:16:14.159 --> 00:16:17.919
<v Speaker 2>because you are the Wrestling Women's Wrestling podcast Affection auto here.

334
00:16:18.000 --> 00:16:21.480
<v Speaker 2>So I am just I'm looking at this and saying, Okay,

335
00:16:21.879 --> 00:16:26.200
<v Speaker 2>Natalia is a veteran. She is the veterans, the women's

336
00:16:26.519 --> 00:16:29.600
<v Speaker 2>veteran in the locker room. I understand that she's the

337
00:16:29.600 --> 00:16:32.519
<v Speaker 2>locker room leader all that and ronder ROWSI. I'm not

338
00:16:32.960 --> 00:16:35.519
<v Speaker 2>a huge fan of rond E ROUSI. It's no secret

339
00:16:35.559 --> 00:16:37.639
<v Speaker 2>and it's she's just not my cup of tea. I

340
00:16:37.639 --> 00:16:39.759
<v Speaker 2>think she exposes the business in a way that makes

341
00:16:39.799 --> 00:16:42.559
<v Speaker 2>herself higher than the business, or at least she tries

342
00:16:42.559 --> 00:16:46.360
<v Speaker 2>to elevate herself. She can't even mention the SmackDown Women's

343
00:16:46.399 --> 00:16:49.159
<v Speaker 2>Championship for some reason, she's allergic to putting those three

344
00:16:49.200 --> 00:16:52.440
<v Speaker 2>words together. She just wants to say SmackDown Championship, like

345
00:16:52.759 --> 00:16:56.399
<v Speaker 2>don't I think that's disrespectful. I understand the argument for

346
00:16:56.399 --> 00:16:58.320
<v Speaker 2>why put women in there, you know, that's a whole

347
00:16:58.559 --> 00:17:01.480
<v Speaker 2>another thing. But I think there's been moments in her

348
00:17:01.519 --> 00:17:04.200
<v Speaker 2>career that she has felt like she's above the business,

349
00:17:04.240 --> 00:17:07.039
<v Speaker 2>and I'm not a fan of that. But she's excellent

350
00:17:07.079 --> 00:17:09.400
<v Speaker 2>in the ring. For what she's done in MMA. To

351
00:17:09.480 --> 00:17:12.880
<v Speaker 2>translate that to WWE, I think it's been it's certainly

352
00:17:12.920 --> 00:17:16.640
<v Speaker 2>been commendable, and she's an ultra athlete. I respect for

353
00:17:16.680 --> 00:17:19.640
<v Speaker 2>her on a professional level. I just not a fan

354
00:17:19.680 --> 00:17:21.960
<v Speaker 2>of her character. I mean, I don't want to get

355
00:17:22.000 --> 00:17:25.519
<v Speaker 2>into it specifically, but Natalia here in Ronda Rowsey. It'll

356
00:17:25.559 --> 00:17:29.279
<v Speaker 2>be fun. They've built this around the submission holds that

357
00:17:29.319 --> 00:17:33.720
<v Speaker 2>they have, with the sharpshooter being apparently, according to Italia,

358
00:17:33.799 --> 00:17:37.000
<v Speaker 2>more devastating than the arm bar where she said she

359
00:17:37.160 --> 00:17:40.559
<v Speaker 2>almost got Ronda to tap out the previous week, and

360
00:17:40.680 --> 00:17:43.599
<v Speaker 2>Ronda Rowsey obviously has been very successful with her arm bar,

361
00:17:43.799 --> 00:17:47.039
<v Speaker 2>and so the story's okay. But I think that the

362
00:17:47.119 --> 00:17:50.279
<v Speaker 2>outcome here is kind of like the tag team title match,

363
00:17:50.359 --> 00:17:53.960
<v Speaker 2>Like there's just no way they're gonna have an Italian

364
00:17:53.960 --> 00:17:57.880
<v Speaker 2>win here. It's almost like she is the Temina of SmackDown,

365
00:17:57.920 --> 00:18:00.319
<v Speaker 2>where they bring her out of the crypt every so

366
00:18:00.440 --> 00:18:02.000
<v Speaker 2>often just to have a you know, kind of a

367
00:18:02.039 --> 00:18:03.960
<v Speaker 2>bigger match, and then they just you know, push her,

368
00:18:04.039 --> 00:18:06.480
<v Speaker 2>push her back down into the basement for a while,

369
00:18:06.559 --> 00:18:08.480
<v Speaker 2>and we don't hear from her, and you know, she's

370
00:18:08.519 --> 00:18:11.319
<v Speaker 2>just posting Instagram photos with her cats or whatever she does.

371
00:18:11.359 --> 00:18:13.880
<v Speaker 2>I mean, so it's just I don't think they're gonna

372
00:18:13.920 --> 00:18:16.920
<v Speaker 2>do anything here. The match quality will. I think it'll

373
00:18:16.960 --> 00:18:22.119
<v Speaker 2>be fine, but there's just no way, no way. That's

374
00:18:22.119 --> 00:18:24.640
<v Speaker 2>how you wins this, do you do? You see the

375
00:18:24.640 --> 00:18:25.079
<v Speaker 2>same thing?

376
00:18:27.799 --> 00:18:30.079
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I mean I don't see Ntella winning. I think

377
00:18:30.200 --> 00:18:32.119
<v Speaker 3>Ronda will retain first and foremost.

378
00:18:32.200 --> 00:18:40.000
<v Speaker 4>But as for the whole this, Okay, I I get

379
00:18:40.160 --> 00:18:42.519
<v Speaker 4>so tongue tied over this because I don't have words

380
00:18:42.519 --> 00:18:46.880
<v Speaker 4>to explain, Like how disappointing anything with Ronda Rousey is

381
00:18:46.920 --> 00:18:48.200
<v Speaker 4>that they ever come up with?

382
00:18:48.680 --> 00:18:53.079
<v Speaker 3>Because doesn't this story sound a little bit familiar?

383
00:18:53.200 --> 00:18:53.519
<v Speaker 4>Matt?

384
00:18:55.000 --> 00:18:57.440
<v Speaker 2>I mean I've seen thousands of storyline I mean like,

385
00:18:57.519 --> 00:18:59.440
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it probably does. It's some there's some part

386
00:18:59.440 --> 00:19:01.960
<v Speaker 2>of my brain that probably dos why what is it?

387
00:19:02.599 --> 00:19:03.519
<v Speaker 2>What do you know?

388
00:19:05.000 --> 00:19:09.960
<v Speaker 4>If we rewind to uh, Ronda's last feud that she

389
00:19:10.079 --> 00:19:14.880
<v Speaker 4>had for the title was with Charlotte, right, and the

390
00:19:14.920 --> 00:19:18.680
<v Speaker 4>main thing of their story was submissions.

391
00:19:20.319 --> 00:19:23.319
<v Speaker 3>I'm gonna make you tap out. I know, I'm gonna

392
00:19:23.319 --> 00:19:27.079
<v Speaker 3>make you tap out. So like it's the same exact thing.

393
00:19:27.480 --> 00:19:31.000
<v Speaker 4>They haven't even come up with a new story at all.

394
00:19:31.359 --> 00:19:34.759
<v Speaker 4>It is the same exact story, which shows you a

395
00:19:34.799 --> 00:19:40.240
<v Speaker 4>lot what creatives thinking about. But yeah, no, I respect

396
00:19:40.279 --> 00:19:42.240
<v Speaker 4>and tell you a lot. I mean, I respect and tell.

397
00:19:42.160 --> 00:19:42.519
<v Speaker 3>You a lot.

398
00:19:42.599 --> 00:19:46.160
<v Speaker 4>But and she's trained a lot of the women on

399
00:19:46.200 --> 00:19:50.759
<v Speaker 4>the roster for years because she's that good, and she's

400
00:19:50.799 --> 00:19:55.440
<v Speaker 4>always been that good and she's a VET and will

401
00:19:56.319 --> 00:20:01.480
<v Speaker 4>always be someone you can respect in the ring, and

402
00:20:02.680 --> 00:20:08.000
<v Speaker 4>not to mention, I just she's come to the end.

403
00:20:07.880 --> 00:20:08.960
<v Speaker 3>Of her career with.

404
00:20:10.480 --> 00:20:14.640
<v Speaker 4>I thought at least with a main match or sorry

405
00:20:14.640 --> 00:20:17.960
<v Speaker 4>it may event title matches and stuff like that. So

406
00:20:19.759 --> 00:20:23.039
<v Speaker 4>when she was announced for this, I was very surprised,

407
00:20:23.079 --> 00:20:25.599
<v Speaker 4>and I think they could have easily put someone else

408
00:20:25.799 --> 00:20:32.759
<v Speaker 4>in that position. But you know, this match, it's not

409
00:20:32.759 --> 00:20:35.400
<v Speaker 4>gonna be bad, but Ron is going to retain, and

410
00:20:35.440 --> 00:20:38.160
<v Speaker 4>then Italia is going to go back to whatever she

411
00:20:38.200 --> 00:20:41.559
<v Speaker 4>was doing before, tag tagging with Shana and a tag

412
00:20:41.559 --> 00:20:45.440
<v Speaker 4>division that doesn't exist, and then they're never going to

413
00:20:45.519 --> 00:20:48.440
<v Speaker 4>push anyone else on the SmackDown roster like they normally do.

414
00:20:48.519 --> 00:20:52.400
<v Speaker 3>I mean, they haven't pushed anyone since Raquel was the

415
00:20:52.480 --> 00:20:53.839
<v Speaker 3>last person we saw that.

416
00:20:53.799 --> 00:20:57.799
<v Speaker 4>They actually seemed like they wanted to push, and then

417
00:20:57.799 --> 00:21:00.920
<v Speaker 4>they threw an Italia into this match, which they went

418
00:21:00.960 --> 00:21:03.480
<v Speaker 4>in so many different directions and I don't think they

419
00:21:03.599 --> 00:21:08.079
<v Speaker 4>ended up on the right one. But you know, the

420
00:21:08.079 --> 00:21:10.279
<v Speaker 4>SmackDown roster, I mean, I talk about it on my

421
00:21:10.440 --> 00:21:14.359
<v Speaker 4>podcast all the time. It's it's weak. It's really weak,

422
00:21:14.519 --> 00:21:16.759
<v Speaker 4>and it's not the women's fault.

423
00:21:17.079 --> 00:21:18.079
<v Speaker 3>It's Creative's fault.

424
00:21:18.079 --> 00:21:21.559
<v Speaker 4>They don't put any effort into any storylines on that roster.

425
00:21:21.799 --> 00:21:24.720
<v Speaker 4>And I mean you could you can compare the SmackDown

426
00:21:24.759 --> 00:21:26.599
<v Speaker 4>roster to the Raw roster.

427
00:21:27.200 --> 00:21:29.759
<v Speaker 3>It doesn't even come close.

428
00:21:30.440 --> 00:21:31.920
<v Speaker 4>And I mean that has a lot to do with

429
00:21:32.000 --> 00:21:35.720
<v Speaker 4>I mean, there's seven women on the SmackDown roster, so.

430
00:21:37.759 --> 00:21:39.079
<v Speaker 3>It's not in Italian's fault.

431
00:21:39.119 --> 00:21:43.519
<v Speaker 4>But Creative needs to get a little creative and like, actually,

432
00:21:44.359 --> 00:21:47.519
<v Speaker 4>give you know, the SmackDown title some good matches because

433
00:21:47.559 --> 00:21:48.400
<v Speaker 4>this is not it.

434
00:21:50.000 --> 00:21:51.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. No, it's funny that you said that Creative needs

435
00:21:52.000 --> 00:21:53.480
<v Speaker 2>to be creative. It's like they're not living up to

436
00:21:53.559 --> 00:21:56.440
<v Speaker 2>what their name is. Yeah, it's it's tough. Plus, I mean,

437
00:21:56.880 --> 00:22:00.359
<v Speaker 2>but in their defense, they don't have Charlotte, they don't

438
00:22:00.400 --> 00:22:03.720
<v Speaker 2>have Bailey yet. I think Bailey actually is gonna be

439
00:22:03.960 --> 00:22:06.359
<v Speaker 2>if I was gonna guess facing Ronda at SummerSlam, that

440
00:22:06.359 --> 00:22:08.400
<v Speaker 2>sounds like a Summer Slam match to me. I mean,

441
00:22:08.440 --> 00:22:11.720
<v Speaker 2>Bailey's even I think possible to attack Ronda at the

442
00:22:11.799 --> 00:22:14.440
<v Speaker 2>end of this match. I imagine they're gonna keep her

443
00:22:14.480 --> 00:22:16.160
<v Speaker 2>heel and try to keep Ronda baby face, which I

444
00:22:16.160 --> 00:22:19.519
<v Speaker 2>would honestly, I would love to see that happen because

445
00:22:19.559 --> 00:22:21.440
<v Speaker 2>I think the crowd is starting to turn on Ronda

446
00:22:21.480 --> 00:22:25.240
<v Speaker 2>a bit. They're very lukewarm about it with Ronda as champion,

447
00:22:25.400 --> 00:22:27.000
<v Speaker 2>kind of with Bianca bell Air. We'll get to that

448
00:22:27.039 --> 00:22:30.640
<v Speaker 2>match next too. Like they're not booing either woman, but

449
00:22:30.799 --> 00:22:33.759
<v Speaker 2>it feels like they're not getting the reaction that they

450
00:22:33.880 --> 00:22:36.039
<v Speaker 2>want them to have at this level. And there's so

451
00:22:36.079 --> 00:22:38.200
<v Speaker 2>many reasons for that. I mean, creative is to blame

452
00:22:38.240 --> 00:22:40.160
<v Speaker 2>on it. Ronda Rousey needing to learn how to cut

453
00:22:40.160 --> 00:22:42.799
<v Speaker 2>a damn promo. Although this week was probably her best, uh,

454
00:22:43.000 --> 00:22:45.440
<v Speaker 2>she her promo ability is not great. She needs to

455
00:22:45.480 --> 00:22:47.559
<v Speaker 2>learn how to time it when the mic or when

456
00:22:47.559 --> 00:22:50.319
<v Speaker 2>their music goes off. Don't whisper into the microphone, like

457
00:22:50.359 --> 00:22:52.480
<v Speaker 2>speak with some bass in your voice. I mean, she's

458
00:22:52.480 --> 00:22:55.720
<v Speaker 2>got a great look, but just her her promo ability

459
00:22:55.839 --> 00:22:58.319
<v Speaker 2>is very hit and miss. A lot of times you

460
00:22:58.359 --> 00:23:01.200
<v Speaker 2>feel like she's literally reading off a teleprompter. I mean

461
00:23:01.240 --> 00:23:03.519
<v Speaker 2>like it feels like that a lot of times. I

462
00:23:03.519 --> 00:23:05.680
<v Speaker 2>mean it's not easy to do. I'm not saying it's easy,

463
00:23:05.720 --> 00:23:08.759
<v Speaker 2>but you know, when you look at the importance of

464
00:23:08.920 --> 00:23:10.960
<v Speaker 2>learning how to cut a good promo, Ronda's just not

465
00:23:11.000 --> 00:23:13.960
<v Speaker 2>there yet. But that said, you know, look at this

466
00:23:14.119 --> 00:23:17.400
<v Speaker 2>match circling back. I think is going to be fine.

467
00:23:17.559 --> 00:23:20.079
<v Speaker 2>I think it's going to be some spots where the

468
00:23:20.160 --> 00:23:23.279
<v Speaker 2>Natalia does put her in the sharpshooter and Ronda's crying

469
00:23:23.319 --> 00:23:25.200
<v Speaker 2>out in pain and she's crawling to the ropes, she

470
00:23:25.279 --> 00:23:26.759
<v Speaker 2>pulls her back to the middle of the ring, and

471
00:23:26.759 --> 00:23:28.559
<v Speaker 2>you're like, oh my god, she can win it. That'll

472
00:23:28.599 --> 00:23:30.680
<v Speaker 2>probably be an Italian's hope spot, Like that's going to

473
00:23:30.720 --> 00:23:33.000
<v Speaker 2>be the spot that's coming where we're all supposed to

474
00:23:33.000 --> 00:23:36.160
<v Speaker 2>believe that Natalia could win. She's not going to. Ronnie

475
00:23:36.200 --> 00:23:39.200
<v Speaker 2>will make her tap and that's it, and Italia will

476
00:23:39.240 --> 00:23:41.119
<v Speaker 2>go back to doing whatever she was doing. But I

477
00:23:41.160 --> 00:23:44.359
<v Speaker 2>mean again, WWE doesn't SmackDown, doesn't have two of their

478
00:23:44.359 --> 00:23:47.880
<v Speaker 2>biggest stars that were on SmackDown in Charlotte and Bailey

479
00:23:47.960 --> 00:23:51.240
<v Speaker 2>right now, so that is a bit of a problem.

480
00:23:51.279 --> 00:23:55.119
<v Speaker 2>But overall, yeah, the women's division as a whole, especially

481
00:23:55.200 --> 00:23:58.160
<v Speaker 2>on SmackDown, has been fairly weak, even with Ronda Rousey

482
00:23:58.440 --> 00:24:00.640
<v Speaker 2>at the top of it right now. And as I

483
00:24:00.680 --> 00:24:03.279
<v Speaker 2>look at this whole card, it's funny there was not

484
00:24:03.480 --> 00:24:06.319
<v Speaker 2>one just grudge match. Every single match on this card

485
00:24:06.440 --> 00:24:11.079
<v Speaker 2>is either a championship match or something for the briefcase.

486
00:24:11.240 --> 00:24:14.200
<v Speaker 2>So that's interesting that it's And the reason I say

487
00:24:14.240 --> 00:24:16.240
<v Speaker 2>that is for the women's division as a whole. You

488
00:24:16.319 --> 00:24:19.839
<v Speaker 2>probably have heard this before too. They almost never have

489
00:24:20.119 --> 00:24:22.799
<v Speaker 2>just a grudge match, like just a personal feud. They

490
00:24:22.880 --> 00:24:25.920
<v Speaker 2>always have to have the women chasing the women's championship,

491
00:24:26.000 --> 00:24:28.000
<v Speaker 2>or if there's a match on the pay per view,

492
00:24:28.200 --> 00:24:30.960
<v Speaker 2>it's always for the women's championship. They can't just build

493
00:24:31.000 --> 00:24:35.759
<v Speaker 2>a storyline out of pure character development to make people

494
00:24:35.839 --> 00:24:39.279
<v Speaker 2>care about the women's division, care about two individuals and

495
00:24:39.519 --> 00:24:42.240
<v Speaker 2>who wins who loses, And they don't have any faith

496
00:24:42.680 --> 00:24:46.119
<v Speaker 2>or the creative ability to think that people will care

497
00:24:46.200 --> 00:24:47.799
<v Speaker 2>if there's not a championship involved.

498
00:24:48.880 --> 00:24:51.400
<v Speaker 3>Yeah I do.

499
00:24:51.519 --> 00:24:55.799
<v Speaker 4>Oh, I actually have a question for you after it loses,

500
00:24:55.839 --> 00:24:57.799
<v Speaker 4>which seems to be inevitable.

501
00:24:59.200 --> 00:25:01.559
<v Speaker 3>Where do you think they go run after this? And

502
00:25:02.079 --> 00:25:03.720
<v Speaker 3>Bailey really?

503
00:25:03.880 --> 00:25:07.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? I think Bailey I mean to be Bailey has

504
00:25:07.039 --> 00:25:09.680
<v Speaker 2>been I followed her a little bit on Instagram, and

505
00:25:09.720 --> 00:25:12.799
<v Speaker 2>every time there's an event, especially from WrestleMania on now,

506
00:25:12.960 --> 00:25:16.119
<v Speaker 2>she's been putting things on her Instagram that she knows

507
00:25:16.119 --> 00:25:18.319
<v Speaker 2>she's screwing with fans and we're all you know she's

508
00:25:18.359 --> 00:25:20.880
<v Speaker 2>been very good at it, putting up something a month

509
00:25:21.000 --> 00:25:24.000
<v Speaker 2>or two ago about you know, TikTok, my time's almost here,

510
00:25:24.160 --> 00:25:26.759
<v Speaker 2>like I'm coming back. Didn't say that verbatim, but she

511
00:25:26.799 --> 00:25:29.119
<v Speaker 2>put up something that alluded to that. She put up

512
00:25:29.279 --> 00:25:33.200
<v Speaker 2>something recently of her holding the brief the money in

513
00:25:33.200 --> 00:25:36.559
<v Speaker 2>the bank, briefcase laying unpresumably a hotel bed, I think,

514
00:25:37.200 --> 00:25:39.920
<v Speaker 2>and she was just laying there holding the briefcase, and

515
00:25:40.079 --> 00:25:42.720
<v Speaker 2>so she knows what she's doing, and I'd imagine that

516
00:25:42.799 --> 00:25:45.160
<v Speaker 2>she's got to be close. I mean, it's been well,

517
00:25:45.440 --> 00:25:47.599
<v Speaker 2>I feel like it's been almost a year since she's

518
00:25:47.680 --> 00:25:51.680
<v Speaker 2>been out from her injuries. So I think it's Ronda

519
00:25:51.759 --> 00:25:55.039
<v Speaker 2>Rowsey in Bailey. I can't think of something bigger for

520
00:25:55.119 --> 00:25:57.559
<v Speaker 2>SummerSlam than that. What are they gonna do? Go back

521
00:25:57.599 --> 00:25:59.880
<v Speaker 2>to Ronda Rousey and Charlotte again that no one wants

522
00:25:59.920 --> 00:26:03.720
<v Speaker 2>to see? So that's it. I can't think of another option.

523
00:26:05.440 --> 00:26:08.880
<v Speaker 4>I that would be great if Bailey returned and they

524
00:26:08.880 --> 00:26:11.119
<v Speaker 4>did a feud with Rond and Bailey.

525
00:26:11.240 --> 00:26:14.599
<v Speaker 3>I one hundred percent agree. I don't have the faith

526
00:26:14.640 --> 00:26:17.599
<v Speaker 3>in them to plan that, and I don't know the

527
00:26:17.640 --> 00:26:19.920
<v Speaker 3>timeline of you know, Bailey's injury and all that. But

528
00:26:20.839 --> 00:26:23.519
<v Speaker 3>I could see them either going either.

529
00:26:23.319 --> 00:26:26.559
<v Speaker 4>Back to Roquel and they've already done it kind of

530
00:26:27.759 --> 00:26:30.680
<v Speaker 4>so either going back to her or starting a feud

531
00:26:30.839 --> 00:26:35.200
<v Speaker 4>with Shana, because I that is the one Ronda Rousey

532
00:26:35.400 --> 00:26:37.640
<v Speaker 4>feud that I would actually be interested in.

533
00:26:38.000 --> 00:26:40.000
<v Speaker 3>I don't like Ronda RAUSI I'm with you on that.

534
00:26:41.279 --> 00:26:43.720
<v Speaker 4>I think I will go I will go to my

535
00:26:43.799 --> 00:26:46.640
<v Speaker 4>grave saying that the only thing Ronda has is not

536
00:26:46.880 --> 00:26:47.720
<v Speaker 4>in ring skill.

537
00:26:47.960 --> 00:26:50.599
<v Speaker 3>She's not bad, but she's not great. She has no

538
00:26:50.720 --> 00:26:51.240
<v Speaker 3>Mike skill.

539
00:26:51.359 --> 00:26:54.240
<v Speaker 4>The only thing Ronda Rowsey has is her presence in

540
00:26:54.319 --> 00:26:57.440
<v Speaker 4>her name. This is the only that's the only thing

541
00:26:57.519 --> 00:27:00.519
<v Speaker 4>she has as the only reason she's anything in WW.

542
00:27:01.319 --> 00:27:04.960
<v Speaker 4>But a match that I would like to see with

543
00:27:05.079 --> 00:27:07.079
<v Speaker 4>Ron and it is Ronda and Shanna because I think

544
00:27:07.160 --> 00:27:11.599
<v Speaker 4>that has the potential plus the storyline to be very good,

545
00:27:11.640 --> 00:27:14.920
<v Speaker 4>because they could build a really good story off of

546
00:27:14.960 --> 00:27:17.240
<v Speaker 4>those two just from their backgrounds.

547
00:27:18.319 --> 00:27:20.640
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, I mean they had a bit of a

548
00:27:20.759 --> 00:27:22.599
<v Speaker 2>face off a few weeks ago and some kind of

549
00:27:22.680 --> 00:27:25.160
<v Speaker 2>multi woman match. They never actually had put a hands

550
00:27:25.160 --> 00:27:27.640
<v Speaker 2>on each other, but there was a moment there where

551
00:27:27.680 --> 00:27:29.640
<v Speaker 2>they you know, you were wondering if they were going

552
00:27:29.640 --> 00:27:31.720
<v Speaker 2>to and the crowd reacted to it because we haven't

553
00:27:31.720 --> 00:27:33.920
<v Speaker 2>seen it. I mean the question though, is, you know,

554
00:27:35.160 --> 00:27:38.720
<v Speaker 2>I would imagine that we have Bianca, or rather Ronda

555
00:27:38.799 --> 00:27:42.039
<v Speaker 2>Rowsey as the baby face and Shana as the heel.

556
00:27:42.119 --> 00:27:46.000
<v Speaker 2>But with people starting to kind of wear thin on

557
00:27:46.279 --> 00:27:48.839
<v Speaker 2>Ronda Rowsey, you know, you do wonder as her opponents

558
00:27:48.880 --> 00:27:51.799
<v Speaker 2>continue to progress, are people going to continue to stick

559
00:27:51.839 --> 00:27:56.079
<v Speaker 2>with Ronda? You know, it's people. I honestly I think

560
00:27:56.079 --> 00:28:00.400
<v Speaker 2>that if wwe at some point in Ronda's contract, whether

561
00:28:00.440 --> 00:28:02.279
<v Speaker 2>it's this time, next time, I don't know how long

562
00:28:02.319 --> 00:28:05.279
<v Speaker 2>it is, not turn her heel, it's a big missed

563
00:28:05.319 --> 00:28:08.160
<v Speaker 2>opportunity like Ronda Rowsey as a heel I would get

564
00:28:08.200 --> 00:28:10.519
<v Speaker 2>on board for because there's so much you could pull from.

565
00:28:10.599 --> 00:28:13.200
<v Speaker 2>And I think naturally she has an arrogance about her

566
00:28:13.319 --> 00:28:15.519
<v Speaker 2>that she has to try to suppress as a babyface,

567
00:28:15.839 --> 00:28:18.920
<v Speaker 2>and it bleeds through and it's you know, it's really

568
00:28:18.960 --> 00:28:21.160
<v Speaker 2>hard to hide who you truly are, and I think

569
00:28:21.240 --> 00:28:25.039
<v Speaker 2>Ronda would just thrive in that, talking about the fans

570
00:28:25.079 --> 00:28:28.160
<v Speaker 2>and how you guys don't understand who the hell I am.

571
00:28:28.519 --> 00:28:30.759
<v Speaker 2>I came here. I didn't have to come here. There's

572
00:28:30.880 --> 00:28:33.920
<v Speaker 2>so I mean, it's it's right there, and for her

573
00:28:33.960 --> 00:28:35.839
<v Speaker 2>to have to go out it doesn't feel natural. A

574
00:28:35.920 --> 00:28:38.279
<v Speaker 2>lot of times with Rowsy she could be a lot

575
00:28:38.319 --> 00:28:41.119
<v Speaker 2>looser on the microphone. It would be I think, a

576
00:28:41.279 --> 00:28:44.359
<v Speaker 2>much more fun ride with Ronda as a heel champion

577
00:28:44.559 --> 00:28:47.960
<v Speaker 2>who's got this entitlement about her coming from MMA, and

578
00:28:48.000 --> 00:28:50.240
<v Speaker 2>she's still calling herself the baddest woman on the planet

579
00:28:50.319 --> 00:28:52.720
<v Speaker 2>yet has hasn't When when's the last time she, you know,

580
00:28:53.319 --> 00:28:56.200
<v Speaker 2>actually proved that, you know, it's been how many years?

581
00:28:56.720 --> 00:28:59.400
<v Speaker 2>So I'm tired of her calling herself that ripping off

582
00:28:59.599 --> 00:29:01.960
<v Speaker 2>rowdy piper because you weren't creative enough to come up

583
00:29:01.960 --> 00:29:05.119
<v Speaker 2>with something original. I just I don't want to, you know,

584
00:29:05.200 --> 00:29:06.960
<v Speaker 2>get on that rant. But I guess I already am.

585
00:29:07.000 --> 00:29:09.920
<v Speaker 2>So anyway, Ronda Rousey is just a I mean, I

586
00:29:09.920 --> 00:29:11.640
<v Speaker 2>want to I want to see her heel and then

587
00:29:11.759 --> 00:29:16.160
<v Speaker 2>I think it'll be a lot more fun. So all right, yeah,

588
00:29:16.240 --> 00:29:19.400
<v Speaker 2>let's move on another Women's Championship match. Here, Bianca Belair

589
00:29:19.559 --> 00:29:22.519
<v Speaker 2>and Carmela. I'll take a breath and ask you what

590
00:29:22.559 --> 00:29:23.200
<v Speaker 2>you think about this.

591
00:29:25.240 --> 00:29:33.920
<v Speaker 3>I have Bianca retaining, you know, the quality of the match.

592
00:29:35.839 --> 00:29:38.880
<v Speaker 3>I don't know, like I want it to be good.

593
00:29:39.640 --> 00:29:42.440
<v Speaker 3>But and Carmela is not bad in the ring by

594
00:29:42.480 --> 00:29:47.160
<v Speaker 3>any means, but Carmela is.

595
00:29:47.359 --> 00:29:50.119
<v Speaker 4>I think she's great at what she does with her character,

596
00:29:50.200 --> 00:29:54.319
<v Speaker 4>and she's annoying and she does it very well. But

597
00:29:54.759 --> 00:29:59.799
<v Speaker 4>I think her entering skill is covered up by a

598
00:29:59.799 --> 00:30:02.599
<v Speaker 4>lot of of her squealing. And I know that sounds

599
00:30:02.640 --> 00:30:04.720
<v Speaker 4>like a joke and like a really funny thing, but

600
00:30:04.759 --> 00:30:08.960
<v Speaker 4>I've been completely serious. Like she I feel like you

601
00:30:09.000 --> 00:30:11.960
<v Speaker 4>could actually see a lot of her move set and

602
00:30:12.000 --> 00:30:15.279
<v Speaker 4>her skill in the ring if she wasn't squealing as much,

603
00:30:15.319 --> 00:30:18.960
<v Speaker 4>because sometimes when I'm watching it's kind of hard to

604
00:30:19.039 --> 00:30:22.200
<v Speaker 4>focus on what she's doing because of how much she's

605
00:30:22.240 --> 00:30:27.480
<v Speaker 4>like squealing. So if she does that in the match,

606
00:30:28.039 --> 00:30:31.079
<v Speaker 4>I feel like it'll be okay. And Bianca will do great,

607
00:30:31.079 --> 00:30:34.000
<v Speaker 4>and she's always great in the ring, but I think

608
00:30:34.039 --> 00:30:36.519
<v Speaker 4>like the overall quality is going to be okay.

609
00:30:36.839 --> 00:30:39.079
<v Speaker 3>Like I don't expect it to be like some A

610
00:30:39.200 --> 00:30:40.920
<v Speaker 3>plus match, but.

611
00:30:42.519 --> 00:30:45.559
<v Speaker 4>I do like that Carmela is in this match because

612
00:30:46.559 --> 00:30:51.240
<v Speaker 4>only because I wanted Ripley and Bianca add a better

613
00:30:51.440 --> 00:30:53.759
<v Speaker 4>or a bigger and better pay per view and then

614
00:30:53.799 --> 00:30:55.680
<v Speaker 4>money in the bank. I think they could save that

615
00:30:55.839 --> 00:30:58.240
<v Speaker 4>for you know, Summer Slay and WrestleMania.

616
00:30:58.319 --> 00:31:00.119
<v Speaker 3>I mean it is it could be a Wrestleman in

617
00:31:00.160 --> 00:31:00.519
<v Speaker 3>you match.

618
00:31:01.039 --> 00:31:03.839
<v Speaker 4>So I am glad that Carmela kind of stepped in

619
00:31:03.920 --> 00:31:07.559
<v Speaker 4>for a little like detour for Bianca to do. But yeah,

620
00:31:07.599 --> 00:31:10.200
<v Speaker 4>I have Bianca attaining, and I think it'll be an

621
00:31:10.200 --> 00:31:12.799
<v Speaker 4>okay match, Like, I don't think anything special will come

622
00:31:12.839 --> 00:31:13.200
<v Speaker 4>from it.

623
00:31:14.119 --> 00:31:17.599
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, my my bars low here too, simply limited by

624
00:31:17.640 --> 00:31:21.839
<v Speaker 2>the fact of Carmela's ability, uh in the ring. I've

625
00:31:21.839 --> 00:31:23.559
<v Speaker 2>said this, and you know, I'm not trying to be

626
00:31:23.599 --> 00:31:26.319
<v Speaker 2>disrespectful Carmela as a person. I'm sure she know, she's

627
00:31:26.359 --> 00:31:28.880
<v Speaker 2>really nice whatever. She's married to Corey Graves. But from

628
00:31:29.000 --> 00:31:31.279
<v Speaker 2>a professional standpoint, I look at her and I feel

629
00:31:31.279 --> 00:31:34.319
<v Speaker 2>like she's a Diva's era leftover. I just she she's

630
00:31:34.319 --> 00:31:36.440
<v Speaker 2>got She's very focused on her looks, and that's like

631
00:31:36.480 --> 00:31:38.920
<v Speaker 2>her whole gimmick, which is like as shallow as it gets,

632
00:31:39.119 --> 00:31:41.319
<v Speaker 2>Like that's as I mean, that's that's as paper thin

633
00:31:41.359 --> 00:31:43.720
<v Speaker 2>as it gets as a character. Is that you're you know,

634
00:31:43.799 --> 00:31:45.680
<v Speaker 2>I'm the most beautiful woman in w w E. It's

635
00:31:45.720 --> 00:31:48.559
<v Speaker 2>like that that's it. That that's all, that's it. I mean,

636
00:31:48.640 --> 00:31:51.680
<v Speaker 2>you know, and inside the ring, she feels like a

637
00:31:51.920 --> 00:31:54.880
<v Speaker 2>kind of a little bit high, a tick higher of

638
00:31:54.920 --> 00:31:59.599
<v Speaker 2>a more skilled Bellatwin, like she's a third Bellatwin except blonde.

639
00:32:00.240 --> 00:32:02.839
<v Speaker 2>And I just I don't think she's super skilled in

640
00:32:02.880 --> 00:32:06.720
<v Speaker 2>the ring, and I think, well, Bianca's I think extraordinary

641
00:32:06.759 --> 00:32:08.559
<v Speaker 2>in the ring. She's going to be capped by what

642
00:32:08.640 --> 00:32:11.839
<v Speaker 2>Carmela can do. And so I'm with you. I think

643
00:32:11.880 --> 00:32:13.799
<v Speaker 2>if I'm going to do out a ten ahead of time,

644
00:32:13.799 --> 00:32:15.599
<v Speaker 2>it's probably gonna be a five out of ten, maybe

645
00:32:15.680 --> 00:32:18.920
<v Speaker 2>six at a ten. In terms of quality of the matchup. Again,

646
00:32:18.920 --> 00:32:23.200
<v Speaker 2>Bianca retains another super predictable outcome, but that's the right outcome. Again,

647
00:32:23.759 --> 00:32:27.079
<v Speaker 2>just because it's predictable doesn't necessarily mean it's bad and

648
00:32:27.119 --> 00:32:30.319
<v Speaker 2>it's the wrong thing to do. I'm all for predictability

649
00:32:30.359 --> 00:32:32.680
<v Speaker 2>if it's the right thing, but in this case, I

650
00:32:32.680 --> 00:32:35.599
<v Speaker 2>mean the match quality. I'm not suit like you said,

651
00:32:36.039 --> 00:32:38.839
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if you put Carmela and Bianca together

652
00:32:38.960 --> 00:32:42.559
<v Speaker 2>versus Ronda and Italia, what one's going to be more

653
00:32:42.640 --> 00:32:45.519
<v Speaker 2>of in terms of just wrestling only, what one's going

654
00:32:45.559 --> 00:32:48.799
<v Speaker 2>to be more entertaining. I would imagine Ronda and Italia,

655
00:32:49.519 --> 00:32:52.519
<v Speaker 2>but it's kind of a toss up in a way.

656
00:32:53.119 --> 00:32:55.160
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I'd like to see Pianca and Ronda, I

657
00:32:55.160 --> 00:32:57.119
<v Speaker 2>mean face off against one another. That would be a

658
00:32:57.119 --> 00:32:59.640
<v Speaker 2>lot of fun. Maybe that'll happen at some point. Although

659
00:33:00.359 --> 00:33:02.039
<v Speaker 2>you know I've said this before, I don't know if

660
00:33:02.039 --> 00:33:04.880
<v Speaker 2>anyone is taking me up on it. With Ronda Rousey.

661
00:33:05.079 --> 00:33:06.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm not going back to the match itself, but just

662
00:33:06.960 --> 00:33:09.839
<v Speaker 2>to say that, Ronda Rowsey, maybe we should play a

663
00:33:09.920 --> 00:33:13.480
<v Speaker 2>drinking game where every time she adjusts her tights, will

664
00:33:13.480 --> 00:33:16.319
<v Speaker 2>take a drink, right, because I and you'll be drunk

665
00:33:16.359 --> 00:33:19.079
<v Speaker 2>within five minutes. Because I don't know what it is, like.

666
00:33:19.119 --> 00:33:22.960
<v Speaker 2>I understand she wears the athletic gear right and you should,

667
00:33:23.039 --> 00:33:25.720
<v Speaker 2>but I don't know. It's maybe she purposely has that.

668
00:33:25.799 --> 00:33:28.039
<v Speaker 2>It's like a nervous tick or something, or they're just

669
00:33:28.200 --> 00:33:31.480
<v Speaker 2>riding up her backs. I don't know, but it's super

670
00:33:31.519 --> 00:33:34.240
<v Speaker 2>distracting every time she Like if she did it once

671
00:33:34.319 --> 00:33:35.920
<v Speaker 2>or twice in a match, it's like, okay, she's just

672
00:33:35.960 --> 00:33:38.960
<v Speaker 2>adjusting her gear, but it's seriously like every ten to

673
00:33:39.000 --> 00:33:41.519
<v Speaker 2>fifteen seconds she's like, you know, adjusting this and that,

674
00:33:41.599 --> 00:33:43.880
<v Speaker 2>and it's like, well, then get gear that fits. You

675
00:33:43.880 --> 00:33:46.319
<v Speaker 2>don't need to make I don't know. So now that

676
00:33:46.400 --> 00:33:48.960
<v Speaker 2>I've made you think about it, now that's all you'll see.

677
00:33:49.039 --> 00:33:51.920
<v Speaker 2>But I can't. I don't know. Did you notice this, Like, well,

678
00:33:52.000 --> 00:33:53.960
<v Speaker 2>Ronda's just like constantly fussing with her gear.

679
00:33:54.519 --> 00:33:55.759
<v Speaker 3>I know what you're talking about.

680
00:33:56.039 --> 00:34:00.680
<v Speaker 4>I think it might be like an involuntary and I'm

681
00:34:00.680 --> 00:34:02.839
<v Speaker 4>being completely serious right now. I think it's an involuntary

682
00:34:02.839 --> 00:34:06.720
<v Speaker 4>reaction because in the MMA, in the UFC fights that

683
00:34:06.799 --> 00:34:10.440
<v Speaker 4>she has done, and any UFC fights actually, like with

684
00:34:10.480 --> 00:34:13.000
<v Speaker 4>the women who are the shorts, they do that. So

685
00:34:13.079 --> 00:34:15.320
<v Speaker 4>I think it is an involuntary reaction, like she's so

686
00:34:15.480 --> 00:34:17.800
<v Speaker 4>used to doing it because they do it, they do

687
00:34:17.840 --> 00:34:21.159
<v Speaker 4>it in the ring, So I hear you, But I

688
00:34:21.400 --> 00:34:24.440
<v Speaker 4>think I think it's more of just like an involuntary act.

689
00:34:24.559 --> 00:34:27.280
<v Speaker 2>I don't even think she's self aware. She's just maybe

690
00:34:27.280 --> 00:34:29.199
<v Speaker 2>it is. It's just kind of like a comfort thing.

691
00:34:29.280 --> 00:34:32.039
<v Speaker 2>She just wears this gear and it's just I don't know,

692
00:34:32.039 --> 00:34:34.880
<v Speaker 2>it's just muscle, you know, I don't know, muscle memory.

693
00:34:34.880 --> 00:34:35.280
<v Speaker 2>I don't know.

694
00:34:35.880 --> 00:34:38.159
<v Speaker 4>I used to play basketball and every time I go

695
00:34:38.239 --> 00:34:40.719
<v Speaker 4>past a trash can I you know, I do a

696
00:34:40.760 --> 00:34:42.360
<v Speaker 4>little fade away, So it might.

697
00:34:42.239 --> 00:34:43.159
<v Speaker 3>Be like that.

698
00:34:43.199 --> 00:34:46.800
<v Speaker 2>It could be yeah, I mean, except it doesn't make

699
00:34:46.840 --> 00:34:49.280
<v Speaker 2>you feel uncomfortable if you're watching in the audience to

700
00:34:49.320 --> 00:34:51.519
<v Speaker 2>see somebody like pulling out their crotch every five minute.

701
00:34:51.519 --> 00:34:53.840
<v Speaker 2>I mean, like seriously, like it's it's it got to

702
00:34:53.840 --> 00:34:55.239
<v Speaker 2>the point. I remember the last time I watched her

703
00:34:55.400 --> 00:34:58.519
<v Speaker 2>on the I think it was Wrestlmania Backlash, and I'm like, okay,

704
00:34:58.599 --> 00:35:00.639
<v Speaker 2>like she has to be doing this as some kind

705
00:35:00.719 --> 00:35:03.880
<v Speaker 2>of like inside joke, like is there really a drinking

706
00:35:03.920 --> 00:35:07.000
<v Speaker 2>game behind this or something, because it was just unbelievable,

707
00:35:07.039 --> 00:35:09.679
<v Speaker 2>and you know, I don't know. So now I've made

708
00:35:09.679 --> 00:35:12.400
<v Speaker 2>you think about it. Guys, I'm sorry you can't unhear this,

709
00:35:12.800 --> 00:35:15.159
<v Speaker 2>and now you'll be watching for her pulling at her tights.

710
00:35:15.480 --> 00:35:18.320
<v Speaker 2>So all right, well, Bianca, I think we both agree,

711
00:35:18.840 --> 00:35:22.320
<v Speaker 2>is going to retain the match quality doesn't really you know,

712
00:35:22.400 --> 00:35:24.440
<v Speaker 2>shock us here. I think it's just gonna kind of

713
00:35:24.440 --> 00:35:27.559
<v Speaker 2>be Beanca retains and that's it. You know. The one

714
00:35:27.599 --> 00:35:29.480
<v Speaker 2>thing I'll say about this though, with Bianca, she's kind

715
00:35:29.480 --> 00:35:31.360
<v Speaker 2>of in the same boat as Randa where the crowd

716
00:35:31.400 --> 00:35:36.079
<v Speaker 2>I think is not souring, but just they're not at

717
00:35:36.079 --> 00:35:37.960
<v Speaker 2>the level i'd say, you know, if they want them

718
00:35:37.960 --> 00:35:40.000
<v Speaker 2>to be a ten. The crowd's like a like a

719
00:35:40.079 --> 00:35:42.679
<v Speaker 2>six or a five of where they want them to

720
00:35:42.719 --> 00:35:46.039
<v Speaker 2>be Bianca has Maybe you're are you sensing this too

721
00:35:46.039 --> 00:35:49.280
<v Speaker 2>with the crowd, that Bianca's just not getting that like

722
00:35:49.400 --> 00:35:52.360
<v Speaker 2>overwhelming response she was last year. She's just she's kind

723
00:35:52.360 --> 00:35:55.079
<v Speaker 2>of like, I don't know, mildly supported.

724
00:35:55.239 --> 00:35:59.119
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, no, I you can definitely hear the crowd

725
00:35:59.199 --> 00:36:01.159
<v Speaker 3>has changed a little bit, and not in like a

726
00:36:01.199 --> 00:36:03.840
<v Speaker 3>bad way. They're just you know, a little quieter now.

727
00:36:04.519 --> 00:36:06.840
<v Speaker 4>But I think everyone is kind of thinking the same thing,

728
00:36:06.920 --> 00:36:09.639
<v Speaker 4>like they're waiting for change, and they want to see

729
00:36:09.679 --> 00:36:12.199
<v Speaker 4>her character change. I want to see her character change.

730
00:36:12.239 --> 00:36:14.360
<v Speaker 4>I know you've said you would like to see her

731
00:36:14.440 --> 00:36:18.239
<v Speaker 4>character change, and I think she would, you know, do

732
00:36:18.320 --> 00:36:22.519
<v Speaker 4>really well with being a heel, and I think everyone

733
00:36:22.639 --> 00:36:26.000
<v Speaker 4>is kind of expecting that at this point, and they're

734
00:36:26.000 --> 00:36:28.000
<v Speaker 4>seeing the same old, same old, and it's kind of

735
00:36:28.000 --> 00:36:32.280
<v Speaker 4>getting it's it's just getting very repetitive. So yeah, I

736
00:36:32.280 --> 00:36:35.840
<v Speaker 4>think the crowd has definitely gotten a little bit quieter

737
00:36:35.920 --> 00:36:37.880
<v Speaker 4>and quieter over the past month.

738
00:36:39.079 --> 00:36:41.159
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's a good way to put it. They're not booing,

739
00:36:41.199 --> 00:36:43.880
<v Speaker 2>they're just not as excited to see her. They're just

740
00:36:44.480 --> 00:36:47.320
<v Speaker 2>like you're yeah, it's not that they're booing yet, although

741
00:36:47.320 --> 00:36:49.559
<v Speaker 2>they are on the road to booing her if they

742
00:36:49.559 --> 00:36:52.719
<v Speaker 2>continue on this path, like they're going to eventually actually

743
00:36:52.719 --> 00:36:57.159
<v Speaker 2>turn and actively boo instead of just you know, apathetically like,

744
00:36:57.239 --> 00:36:59.920
<v Speaker 2>oh yay, hey, Bianca's here, isn't that cool? And people

745
00:37:00.079 --> 00:37:03.280
<v Speaker 2>like mm? And eventually that'll just that will turn. So yeah,

746
00:37:03.519 --> 00:37:06.039
<v Speaker 2>I think they either need to double down and actually

747
00:37:06.039 --> 00:37:08.559
<v Speaker 2>give her a microphone, which and stop having her sit

748
00:37:08.599 --> 00:37:10.920
<v Speaker 2>at ringside for every match and not you know, put

749
00:37:10.960 --> 00:37:13.320
<v Speaker 2>a put a commentary headset on. I mean, she's been

750
00:37:13.360 --> 00:37:15.920
<v Speaker 2>at ringside it's like her second home lately and just

751
00:37:15.960 --> 00:37:19.920
<v Speaker 2>sitting there and not speaking. So anyway, all right, let's

752
00:37:19.920 --> 00:37:22.079
<v Speaker 2>move on to the third women's match, which, by the way, guys,

753
00:37:22.079 --> 00:37:24.320
<v Speaker 2>there were I just realized this. Three women's matches and

754
00:37:24.320 --> 00:37:26.519
<v Speaker 2>three men's matches that are on the show. I can't

755
00:37:26.519 --> 00:37:29.840
<v Speaker 2>remember the last time it's was that even So that's cool, U.

756
00:37:30.039 --> 00:37:32.719
<v Speaker 2>We have the women's money in the Bank ladder match.

757
00:37:33.239 --> 00:37:38.719
<v Speaker 2>Lacy Evans, Alexa Bliss, Live, Morgan Rare, Keel Rodriguez, Oscar Schatzi,

758
00:37:38.840 --> 00:37:44.000
<v Speaker 2>and Becky Lynch. Hmm, yeah, I almost took this, but

759
00:37:44.280 --> 00:37:46.639
<v Speaker 2>I have my pick, but you you go first. Grace.

760
00:37:48.360 --> 00:37:54.079
<v Speaker 4>All Right, this is a difficult one because I'm a

761
00:37:54.159 --> 00:38:02.159
<v Speaker 4>huge Lynch fan, and but as in you know, recent months.

762
00:38:01.840 --> 00:38:04.840
<v Speaker 3>I've become like, you know, I've been become a fan

763
00:38:04.880 --> 00:38:05.519
<v Speaker 3>of Live Morgan.

764
00:38:06.199 --> 00:38:12.199
<v Speaker 4>I think that she has excelled in the ring, you know,

765
00:38:12.280 --> 00:38:14.800
<v Speaker 4>after her whole feud with Becky Lynch. I think it

766
00:38:15.000 --> 00:38:19.639
<v Speaker 4>really shot her into like a different atmosphere. And I

767
00:38:19.679 --> 00:38:22.079
<v Speaker 4>mean she's not quite there yet.

768
00:38:21.800 --> 00:38:25.880
<v Speaker 3>On the mic, she's still little stuff on the mic.

769
00:38:27.000 --> 00:38:31.679
<v Speaker 4>She's better than she was, but I want to see

770
00:38:31.719 --> 00:38:34.039
<v Speaker 4>her get the briefcase. I think it'd be a really

771
00:38:34.039 --> 00:38:36.719
<v Speaker 4>good moment, and I think that she deserves it after

772
00:38:37.000 --> 00:38:38.800
<v Speaker 4>I mean her performance.

773
00:38:38.280 --> 00:38:38.800
<v Speaker 3>As of late.

774
00:38:39.679 --> 00:38:44.519
<v Speaker 4>But I can also see Becky Lynch winning it. So

775
00:38:44.679 --> 00:38:47.400
<v Speaker 4>it's hard for me, like I want Becky to win it,

776
00:38:47.639 --> 00:38:49.199
<v Speaker 4>but I also want Live doing it.

777
00:38:51.320 --> 00:38:55.159
<v Speaker 3>So to throw back to you, what is your prediction

778
00:38:55.239 --> 00:38:55.559
<v Speaker 3>on this?

779
00:38:55.559 --> 00:38:59.000
<v Speaker 2>This is yeah, there's as you were talking, I thought

780
00:38:59.039 --> 00:39:02.159
<v Speaker 2>about three scenario and I had a very confident answer,

781
00:39:02.239 --> 00:39:05.519
<v Speaker 2>and now you're screwing up. I I okay, So my

782
00:39:05.599 --> 00:39:08.800
<v Speaker 2>initial reaction before you gave yours was I think Becky

783
00:39:08.880 --> 00:39:11.440
<v Speaker 2>Lynch is gonna win it's the most uninteresting predictable answer.

784
00:39:11.840 --> 00:39:14.719
<v Speaker 2>But there's good reason to believe that Becky could win.

785
00:39:14.800 --> 00:39:18.840
<v Speaker 2>Because Becky Lynch winning okay, it's you know, it gets

786
00:39:18.840 --> 00:39:22.000
<v Speaker 2>her kind of in back into the title the title picture,

787
00:39:22.039 --> 00:39:23.840
<v Speaker 2>which she just came out of. And I think people

788
00:39:23.880 --> 00:39:25.920
<v Speaker 2>got a little tired of her holding the belt, much

789
00:39:26.000 --> 00:39:27.719
<v Speaker 2>like they did with Charlotte, you know, like, what's your

790
00:39:27.760 --> 00:39:29.760
<v Speaker 2>identity without the belt? Do you know who you are?

791
00:39:29.960 --> 00:39:32.400
<v Speaker 2>And I think Becky had the same kind of problem.

792
00:39:32.880 --> 00:39:35.480
<v Speaker 2>But I think here here's the I'm gonna stick by

793
00:39:35.519 --> 00:39:37.960
<v Speaker 2>my guns even if it's not going to work out here,

794
00:39:38.199 --> 00:39:41.920
<v Speaker 2>but here's the argument for Becky Lynch keeping it or

795
00:39:41.920 --> 00:39:45.239
<v Speaker 2>in winning the match. I think she wins, and then

796
00:39:45.519 --> 00:39:49.239
<v Speaker 2>what you'll see is Becky Lynch not cash in for

797
00:39:49.280 --> 00:39:53.000
<v Speaker 2>a while until we get towards WrestleMania season, where then

798
00:39:53.079 --> 00:39:58.039
<v Speaker 2>she goes and cashes in on Ronda Rousey, and you know,

799
00:39:58.199 --> 00:40:00.840
<v Speaker 2>then you could have Ronda versus Becky. We get the

800
00:40:01.039 --> 00:40:03.760
<v Speaker 2>we finally get the one on one that we've all

801
00:40:03.800 --> 00:40:07.519
<v Speaker 2>been so desperately deserving of. And now I know Becky

802
00:40:07.639 --> 00:40:10.719
<v Speaker 2>Lynch is a heel. I understand that, and I think

803
00:40:10.719 --> 00:40:12.760
<v Speaker 2>it was more fun with Becky as a baby face

804
00:40:12.840 --> 00:40:16.239
<v Speaker 2>with Ronda as the the the well kind of a heel,

805
00:40:16.280 --> 00:40:19.079
<v Speaker 2>I mean by de facto. But even if it's not,

806
00:40:19.280 --> 00:40:21.679
<v Speaker 2>I think that one on one with Ronda and Becky

807
00:40:22.079 --> 00:40:25.440
<v Speaker 2>didn't happen, and it should happen. Now. You could say, well,

808
00:40:25.440 --> 00:40:27.519
<v Speaker 2>Becky win the rumble, and you're right, she could win

809
00:40:27.559 --> 00:40:31.360
<v Speaker 2>the rumble. But with Becky holding that briefcase, it creates

810
00:40:31.639 --> 00:40:34.440
<v Speaker 2>I think more interest than anyone else that when you

811
00:40:34.440 --> 00:40:37.480
<v Speaker 2>look at star power anyway, she's easily the biggest star

812
00:40:37.559 --> 00:40:40.719
<v Speaker 2>in this matchup now, So I'm sticking with Becky Lynch.

813
00:40:41.000 --> 00:40:45.360
<v Speaker 2>The other thing is okay, live Morgan definitely. They constantly

814
00:40:45.360 --> 00:40:48.039
<v Speaker 2>tell us that she has not captured the women's championship,

815
00:40:48.320 --> 00:40:52.239
<v Speaker 2>and that's true. Alexa Bliss, you have somebody that I

816
00:40:52.280 --> 00:40:56.320
<v Speaker 2>think has been sorely misused from an in ring perspective,

817
00:40:56.440 --> 00:40:58.679
<v Speaker 2>not even used that all in ring over the last

818
00:40:58.760 --> 00:41:01.159
<v Speaker 2>two years. I mean, she's been he's sitting on swings

819
00:41:01.480 --> 00:41:04.519
<v Speaker 2>and sitting in therapy offices and just not showing up

820
00:41:04.519 --> 00:41:07.400
<v Speaker 2>for weeks and months on end, you know. So I

821
00:41:07.440 --> 00:41:10.639
<v Speaker 2>think that in ring Alexa is you know, better than

822
00:41:10.679 --> 00:41:13.039
<v Speaker 2>most people give her credit for and having her get

823
00:41:13.079 --> 00:41:15.239
<v Speaker 2>shot right back into the women's title picture. It's been

824
00:41:15.320 --> 00:41:18.480
<v Speaker 2>way too long for Alexa Bliss. There's an argument to

825
00:41:18.480 --> 00:41:21.920
<v Speaker 2>be made there the rest of them. Raquel too soon, osca.

826
00:41:22.199 --> 00:41:24.000
<v Speaker 2>I don't think there's a whole lot of push for that.

827
00:41:24.639 --> 00:41:28.159
<v Speaker 2>Shatzi again a little too soon, So that's my pick.

828
00:41:28.239 --> 00:41:33.239
<v Speaker 2>Becky Lynch, Mmm, what the hell? Matt, Sorry, don't listen

829
00:41:33.239 --> 00:41:34.800
<v Speaker 2>to me. I tell this everybody, and I told this

830
00:41:34.840 --> 00:41:39.920
<v Speaker 2>to you last time. Don't do it. Stay by your guns. No, nope, nope, nope, no, no, no,

831
00:41:40.039 --> 00:41:40.920
<v Speaker 2>stick by your guns.

832
00:41:41.639 --> 00:41:41.760
<v Speaker 4>You know.

833
00:41:43.920 --> 00:41:46.800
<v Speaker 3>I'm not. I'm not going to agree with you.

834
00:41:46.960 --> 00:41:54.199
<v Speaker 2>Good good, No, I am banning you. I'm no, I'm

835
00:41:54.360 --> 00:41:56.920
<v Speaker 2>I will not accept the change. So because I have

836
00:41:56.960 --> 00:42:01.000
<v Speaker 2>burned too many people, So go Yeah, to see.

837
00:42:00.719 --> 00:42:04.559
<v Speaker 3>Something else that could happen. Not because that story of

838
00:42:04.639 --> 00:42:08.920
<v Speaker 3>Becky lunch cashing and waiting for Ronda, Holy crap.

839
00:42:08.960 --> 00:42:11.079
<v Speaker 4>I would love to see that, because you know, the

840
00:42:11.119 --> 00:42:12.920
<v Speaker 4>match I want to see the most is Ron versus

841
00:42:12.960 --> 00:42:14.199
<v Speaker 4>Becky at WrestleMania.

842
00:42:14.360 --> 00:42:16.119
<v Speaker 3>I want to see that. That's what I'm waiting for,

843
00:42:17.639 --> 00:42:21.800
<v Speaker 3>you know. So yeah, yeah, But what.

844
00:42:21.719 --> 00:42:26.239
<v Speaker 4>If Becky wins it and does a failed cash in

845
00:42:26.840 --> 00:42:30.800
<v Speaker 4>and then her character justums, I want to see that.

846
00:42:30.840 --> 00:42:33.840
<v Speaker 4>I mean that would like I mean, I don't necessarily

847
00:42:33.880 --> 00:42:35.920
<v Speaker 4>want to see it, but I think it would be.

848
00:42:36.159 --> 00:42:40.599
<v Speaker 3>Like really good for her story right now. Okay, but

849
00:42:41.199 --> 00:42:44.440
<v Speaker 3>if I have to pick one.

850
00:42:44.800 --> 00:42:48.639
<v Speaker 2>Matt, Sorry, sorry, it's.

851
00:42:48.559 --> 00:42:50.119
<v Speaker 3>Struggling with this match.

852
00:42:50.199 --> 00:42:51.920
<v Speaker 4>I thought I finally had an answer and then you

853
00:42:51.920 --> 00:42:52.639
<v Speaker 4>had to go and see.

854
00:42:52.639 --> 00:42:54.440
<v Speaker 2>Well what that's what you did to me. I almost

855
00:42:54.480 --> 00:42:57.239
<v Speaker 2>switched my answer to Alexa Bliss, so that because of you.

856
00:42:57.400 --> 00:43:00.159
<v Speaker 3>So yeah, okay, Well, well.

857
00:43:02.239 --> 00:43:06.440
<v Speaker 4>I'm going to say Live Morgan wins. I want Beculyn,

858
00:43:06.599 --> 00:43:10.159
<v Speaker 4>I want Beculans to win. I think Live Morgan will win,

859
00:43:10.239 --> 00:43:12.000
<v Speaker 4>and I do, I do want to see.

860
00:43:11.800 --> 00:43:14.000
<v Speaker 3>Her get the briefcase. I'm not gonna lie.

861
00:43:14.760 --> 00:43:17.920
<v Speaker 4>I think the fans are so behind Live, like on

862
00:43:17.960 --> 00:43:20.719
<v Speaker 4>Twitter and like all the social media, like Live has

863
00:43:21.000 --> 00:43:21.840
<v Speaker 4>a big.

864
00:43:21.599 --> 00:43:24.960
<v Speaker 3>Fan base right now, and I think WW sees it.

865
00:43:26.559 --> 00:43:28.519
<v Speaker 4>So I'm gonna say Live climbs up the ladder and

866
00:43:28.559 --> 00:43:29.840
<v Speaker 4>grabs up your briefcase.

867
00:43:31.159 --> 00:43:32.880
<v Speaker 2>I think the fans will be super behind that, like

868
00:43:32.920 --> 00:43:36.159
<v Speaker 2>you said, because fans have seen her for years now

869
00:43:36.400 --> 00:43:40.960
<v Speaker 2>be abused and be uh you know, turn yeah, like

870
00:43:41.159 --> 00:43:44.039
<v Speaker 2>and how many times would in the riot squad was

871
00:43:44.119 --> 00:43:46.840
<v Speaker 2>she the one taking the pinfall, laying looking up at

872
00:43:46.840 --> 00:43:49.239
<v Speaker 2>the lights. How many hundreds of times did she lose matches?

873
00:43:49.320 --> 00:43:52.239
<v Speaker 2>I mean, like, so she's paid her dues. People are ready.

874
00:43:52.280 --> 00:43:55.719
<v Speaker 2>I think Live Morgan is. I like her on the microphone.

875
00:43:55.800 --> 00:43:57.719
<v Speaker 2>I like her the way she speaks. She doesn't speak

876
00:43:57.760 --> 00:44:02.159
<v Speaker 2>too quickly. She seems confident in the ring. She's not insane,

877
00:44:02.199 --> 00:44:05.519
<v Speaker 2>but she's definitely good to very good. You know, I

878
00:44:05.559 --> 00:44:08.559
<v Speaker 2>have no no problem with Liv Morgan. She is a

879
00:44:08.800 --> 00:44:10.360
<v Speaker 2>she is a veteran. I would say at this point,

880
00:44:10.639 --> 00:44:12.840
<v Speaker 2>you know, I'd say, after she's been there with five

881
00:44:12.960 --> 00:44:15.880
<v Speaker 2>six years, she's got some experience under her belt. So

882
00:44:16.480 --> 00:44:18.760
<v Speaker 2>I have no problem with that. Now does she actually

883
00:44:18.840 --> 00:44:21.119
<v Speaker 2>successfully cash in? When does she cash in? Is it

884
00:44:21.119 --> 00:44:24.360
<v Speaker 2>on Bianca? Uh? You know and Carmel? I mean who knows?

885
00:44:24.840 --> 00:44:26.519
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, Live Morgan, there's certainly a case. And I

886
00:44:26.599 --> 00:44:28.880
<v Speaker 2>think that the fans would love that. Yeah.

887
00:44:28.880 --> 00:44:31.719
<v Speaker 4>I think it'd be a really good moment, Like I

888
00:44:31.760 --> 00:44:34.679
<v Speaker 4>think it would genuinely be like a very good moment

889
00:44:34.840 --> 00:44:37.599
<v Speaker 4>like and I think the crowd would actually go crazy

890
00:44:37.840 --> 00:44:39.920
<v Speaker 4>if she won it, and it could be.

891
00:44:39.880 --> 00:44:43.519
<v Speaker 2>Like it'd be that feel good kind of Daniel Bryan moment,

892
00:44:43.719 --> 00:44:45.480
<v Speaker 2>even though there's no championship on the line, and kind

893
00:44:45.519 --> 00:44:47.840
<v Speaker 2>of like the underdog that deserves it, that's been here

894
00:44:47.880 --> 00:44:48.960
<v Speaker 2>and overlooked for a while.

895
00:44:49.159 --> 00:44:52.119
<v Speaker 3>I get it her partners time after time.

896
00:44:52.239 --> 00:44:54.800
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god, yeah, how many times she's got to

897
00:44:54.840 --> 00:44:57.960
<v Speaker 2>be the record holder for that. But Becky Lynch, the

898
00:44:58.239 --> 00:45:01.719
<v Speaker 2>one thing I'll say about that is you have you

899
00:45:01.800 --> 00:45:03.679
<v Speaker 2>have something in mind there, you have something good there

900
00:45:03.679 --> 00:45:07.079
<v Speaker 2>where Becky Lynch, if she loses, I have been advocating

901
00:45:07.079 --> 00:45:10.079
<v Speaker 2>for this of seeing her spiral down into the abyss

902
00:45:10.360 --> 00:45:12.719
<v Speaker 2>of just like how far can we push Becky's character,

903
00:45:13.039 --> 00:45:17.159
<v Speaker 2>not to actually bury her, but her character's depression, Like

904
00:45:17.199 --> 00:45:19.239
<v Speaker 2>where what's the end game? Like I want to see

905
00:45:19.239 --> 00:45:22.920
<v Speaker 2>her lose just to see the character evolution, Like does

906
00:45:22.960 --> 00:45:25.360
<v Speaker 2>she come out like with no music one day and

907
00:45:25.440 --> 00:45:27.960
<v Speaker 2>just like kind of have mascara running down her face,

908
00:45:28.039 --> 00:45:31.199
<v Speaker 2>looks like she hasn't showered, like starts to become depressed,

909
00:45:31.480 --> 00:45:35.480
<v Speaker 2>like almost like a you know, I don't know, like yeah,

910
00:45:35.639 --> 00:45:39.480
<v Speaker 2>like exactly just kind of just doesn't defeated. But there's

911
00:45:39.519 --> 00:45:41.239
<v Speaker 2>an end game, like and what is that end game?

912
00:45:41.280 --> 00:45:43.800
<v Speaker 2>You know? So maybe they'll explore that, maybe they won't.

913
00:45:43.920 --> 00:45:46.599
<v Speaker 2>But if you're right. If Becky, if Cash she cashes

914
00:45:46.639 --> 00:45:50.119
<v Speaker 2>in and fails, then they're clearly on that road and

915
00:45:50.159 --> 00:45:52.199
<v Speaker 2>they have an idea of where they want her to go.

916
00:45:52.559 --> 00:45:55.199
<v Speaker 2>But you're right, I mean Live Morgan is the feel

917
00:45:55.199 --> 00:45:59.119
<v Speaker 2>good choice, no doubt. So all right, it's time for

918
00:45:59.159 --> 00:46:02.039
<v Speaker 2>the Men's money and the gladder match. I'll ask you

919
00:46:02.079 --> 00:46:03.719
<v Speaker 2>do you want to take this first or do you

920
00:46:03.719 --> 00:46:05.920
<v Speaker 2>want me to answer and give you my prediction because

921
00:46:05.960 --> 00:46:08.679
<v Speaker 2>this is this has also got a little bit of

922
00:46:08.679 --> 00:46:12.000
<v Speaker 2>a tough a tough choice here.

923
00:46:13.000 --> 00:46:15.679
<v Speaker 3>So you don't come up with some crazy story for.

924
00:46:15.599 --> 00:46:19.760
<v Speaker 2>Me to change a go and you're not allowed to

925
00:46:19.800 --> 00:46:21.159
<v Speaker 2>change it after I tell you mine.

926
00:46:21.880 --> 00:46:23.119
<v Speaker 3>Okay, well we'll see.

927
00:46:24.760 --> 00:46:26.760
<v Speaker 4>Okay, right off the bat, I'm not to talk about

928
00:46:26.760 --> 00:46:31.119
<v Speaker 4>anyone else. It's saith breakin' Rawlins, no one else.

929
00:46:32.800 --> 00:46:35.480
<v Speaker 2>Yep, no, I actually concur with that. And now now

930
00:46:35.519 --> 00:46:37.880
<v Speaker 2>the other the runner up is Drew McIntyre. And the

931
00:46:37.920 --> 00:46:41.119
<v Speaker 2>reason I say that is because he, as we all know,

932
00:46:41.280 --> 00:46:44.719
<v Speaker 2>he's going to be main eventing the clash at the Castle.

933
00:46:44.760 --> 00:46:48.440
<v Speaker 2>I think it's a September the with with Roman reigns.

934
00:46:48.519 --> 00:46:52.440
<v Speaker 2>And now just because he doesn't win, this doesn't mean

935
00:46:52.480 --> 00:46:54.440
<v Speaker 2>he still can't find a way to get to Roman

936
00:46:54.480 --> 00:46:56.920
<v Speaker 2>in a tournament, in a number one contenders match, just

937
00:46:56.920 --> 00:46:59.320
<v Speaker 2>by you know, I don't know Brady at In peers

938
00:46:59.400 --> 00:47:03.360
<v Speaker 2>for the match whatever that he's been Romans ducking him.

939
00:47:03.679 --> 00:47:05.840
<v Speaker 2>There's a way to get to Drew and Roman if

940
00:47:05.840 --> 00:47:09.480
<v Speaker 2>he doesn't win this match. But yes, Seth with this,

941
00:47:09.480 --> 00:47:12.679
<v Speaker 2>this is to me, this is Seth rollins match to win.

942
00:47:13.320 --> 00:47:16.840
<v Speaker 2>And if he doesn't win, I think, I genuinely think

943
00:47:16.880 --> 00:47:19.039
<v Speaker 2>people in the audience, even though he builds a heel,

944
00:47:19.239 --> 00:47:22.239
<v Speaker 2>are gonna be pissed because everyone else in this matchup

945
00:47:22.320 --> 00:47:25.159
<v Speaker 2>outside of Drew doesn't make sense honestly. I mean, you

946
00:47:25.199 --> 00:47:28.400
<v Speaker 2>have mad Cat Moss. I mean, sorry, no chance, Riddle.

947
00:47:28.800 --> 00:47:30.840
<v Speaker 2>I think he's number three as a choice. He has

948
00:47:30.880 --> 00:47:33.400
<v Speaker 2>a it's a live it's on life support that he

949
00:47:33.440 --> 00:47:38.840
<v Speaker 2>has a chance. But it's there, Sam, He's ain't sorry none, Omas, sorry.

950
00:47:39.320 --> 00:47:41.440
<v Speaker 2>I mean, there's just he'll he'll be the big guy

951
00:47:41.440 --> 00:47:47.000
<v Speaker 2>in the match that yeah, I mean just there's just

952
00:47:47.039 --> 00:47:48.800
<v Speaker 2>no way. I mean, I just they're not gonna make

953
00:47:48.920 --> 00:47:52.039
<v Speaker 2>him look like a fool. They'll book him strong, but

954
00:47:52.239 --> 00:47:54.719
<v Speaker 2>he has no chance of grabbing that briefcase. There's just

955
00:47:54.960 --> 00:47:57.599
<v Speaker 2>it's just not. It's too soon, you know. I think

956
00:47:57.639 --> 00:48:00.000
<v Speaker 2>he has a World Championship run and maybe in twenty

957
00:48:00.119 --> 00:48:03.519
<v Speaker 2>twenty three or twenty twenty four, not right now. Seamus

958
00:48:03.559 --> 00:48:05.679
<v Speaker 2>been there, done that. He's kind of a snooze fest.

959
00:48:05.719 --> 00:48:09.039
<v Speaker 2>I'm sorry, Seamus is boring to me. I understand. He's

960
00:48:09.039 --> 00:48:12.440
<v Speaker 2>a tough guy, he's a veteran, he has modified his

961
00:48:12.440 --> 00:48:16.199
<v Speaker 2>his character over the years. His character just doesn't excite me.

962
00:48:16.440 --> 00:48:19.519
<v Speaker 2>It's just there. He's an asset to the company, but

963
00:48:19.599 --> 00:48:22.519
<v Speaker 2>he's not exciting to me. Drew McIntyre has a date

964
00:48:22.559 --> 00:48:25.880
<v Speaker 2>with destiny with Roman reigns and Seth Rollins is by

965
00:48:25.960 --> 00:48:29.559
<v Speaker 2>far the favorite to win this, and he should win

966
00:48:29.639 --> 00:48:32.599
<v Speaker 2>this because it's gonna be fun to think about. Wait

967
00:48:32.639 --> 00:48:35.079
<v Speaker 2>a minute, Seth Rollins, who does he cash in on?

968
00:48:35.480 --> 00:48:37.639
<v Speaker 2>Is he gonna cash in on Roman? After the Last

969
00:48:37.639 --> 00:48:40.199
<v Speaker 2>Man Standing at SummerSlam? What does he do? Does he

970
00:48:40.280 --> 00:48:44.559
<v Speaker 2>wait until, you know, after a WrestleMania again, like, and

971
00:48:44.679 --> 00:48:46.840
<v Speaker 2>we're eventually gonna get to Rollins and Rains. And I

972
00:48:46.880 --> 00:48:49.000
<v Speaker 2>actually think Rollins should be the one to end the

973
00:48:49.000 --> 00:48:53.280
<v Speaker 2>streak for Roman. I actually think I want That's what

974
00:48:53.320 --> 00:48:56.400
<v Speaker 2>I it's I don't At this point, I've lost all

975
00:48:56.519 --> 00:49:00.239
<v Speaker 2>hope that it's gonna be some upstart young NX tea

976
00:49:00.320 --> 00:49:03.000
<v Speaker 2>guy that you could springboard his career off of. That'd

977
00:49:03.000 --> 00:49:05.920
<v Speaker 2>be a great ideal scenario. Right now, there's nobody on

978
00:49:05.960 --> 00:49:09.639
<v Speaker 2>the roster that that that fits that bell. Seth Rollins

979
00:49:09.840 --> 00:49:12.199
<v Speaker 2>hasn't hauled held the championship in a long time. There's

980
00:49:12.199 --> 00:49:15.800
<v Speaker 2>a lot of history between Roman and Seth. They didn't

981
00:49:15.840 --> 00:49:18.920
<v Speaker 2>follow up after last year's Survivor series where he beat

982
00:49:18.960 --> 00:49:21.320
<v Speaker 2>the holy hell out of Seth left him laying and

983
00:49:21.360 --> 00:49:23.400
<v Speaker 2>everyone just accepts it, and there was no follow up

984
00:49:23.400 --> 00:49:26.760
<v Speaker 2>to that. And so yes, Seth should be the one

985
00:49:26.840 --> 00:49:31.599
<v Speaker 2>to defeat Roman reigns with that championship cashing in on him.

986
00:49:31.800 --> 00:49:34.320
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I couldn't agree more.

987
00:49:34.440 --> 00:49:38.320
<v Speaker 4>I you know, another thing about this match, though, which

988
00:49:38.960 --> 00:49:41.599
<v Speaker 4>is slightly terrifying because I don't want to stab him,

989
00:49:41.639 --> 00:49:42.760
<v Speaker 4>but I can see them doing.

990
00:49:42.599 --> 00:49:46.719
<v Speaker 3>Something like this is if Sammy won and then they

991
00:49:47.320 --> 00:49:49.599
<v Speaker 3>just held the briefcase hostage.

992
00:49:49.079 --> 00:49:51.559
<v Speaker 4>And like you know, Paul Hammond was like controlling him

993
00:49:51.559 --> 00:49:53.159
<v Speaker 4>and stuff, and I really.

994
00:49:52.880 --> 00:49:56.559
<v Speaker 3>Can see them doing something like that, And I really.

995
00:49:56.280 --> 00:50:00.920
<v Speaker 2>Opened don't put it on in the universe, don't, Sean McMahon.

996
00:50:01.519 --> 00:50:02.760
<v Speaker 3>We thought he was gonna end up.

997
00:50:03.000 --> 00:50:07.480
<v Speaker 2>Oh that's right. Yeah, like because because sadly, it's sad

998
00:50:07.519 --> 00:50:09.599
<v Speaker 2>that we have to think like this, but there's yeah,

999
00:50:09.719 --> 00:50:12.679
<v Speaker 2>it's possible. I could see. You're right, like where he

1000
00:50:12.679 --> 00:50:15.360
<v Speaker 2>he wins it and then you know, Sammy says he

1001
00:50:15.440 --> 00:50:17.480
<v Speaker 2>promises he's not gonna cash it in on Roman and

1002
00:50:17.480 --> 00:50:19.280
<v Speaker 2>then Paul hate like you said, yeah, he just kind

1003
00:50:19.280 --> 00:50:23.639
<v Speaker 2>of locks it away. Yeah, oh no, no I don't.

1004
00:50:23.719 --> 00:50:26.159
<v Speaker 3>I'm sorry. I even said I shouldn't have put it

1005
00:50:26.320 --> 00:50:27.360
<v Speaker 3>into the universe, but.

1006
00:50:28.280 --> 00:50:31.840
<v Speaker 4>You know, I so what do you think of the title?

1007
00:50:31.880 --> 00:50:35.119
<v Speaker 4>Like do you like the titles being combined?

1008
00:50:38.320 --> 00:50:41.000
<v Speaker 2>I I would have if they executed it the way

1009
00:50:41.079 --> 00:50:45.320
<v Speaker 2>that we that they should have, meaning, yeah, that okay,

1010
00:50:45.320 --> 00:50:48.199
<v Speaker 2>they unified it, even though there's a brand split. I

1011
00:50:48.280 --> 00:50:49.960
<v Speaker 2>mean that that's a whole other thing. I mean there's

1012
00:50:50.000 --> 00:50:53.039
<v Speaker 2>no brands win anymore. It's quietly gone away. But we

1013
00:50:53.840 --> 00:50:57.559
<v Speaker 2>if they executed it where okay, they unify it and

1014
00:50:57.599 --> 00:51:01.039
<v Speaker 2>then Roman actually appears on Raw and smack Down more regularly,

1015
00:51:01.079 --> 00:51:03.239
<v Speaker 2>which was supposed to be the plan, and that the

1016
00:51:03.280 --> 00:51:06.519
<v Speaker 2>exact opposite is happening. I think I would have liked

1017
00:51:06.519 --> 00:51:09.199
<v Speaker 2>it if they actually kept the championship in the eyes

1018
00:51:09.239 --> 00:51:12.239
<v Speaker 2>of fans more instead of just having Roman, you know,

1019
00:51:12.400 --> 00:51:15.360
<v Speaker 2>take it and go hibernate wherever he is, you know,

1020
00:51:15.400 --> 00:51:17.800
<v Speaker 2>and good, you know, props to him. He's getting paid

1021
00:51:18.159 --> 00:51:20.719
<v Speaker 2>millions of dollars with less dates, less wear and tear

1022
00:51:20.719 --> 00:51:22.840
<v Speaker 2>in his body. Good for him. I do the same thing.

1023
00:51:23.159 --> 00:51:25.480
<v Speaker 2>But when you're looking at this from a fans perspective,

1024
00:51:25.519 --> 00:51:28.760
<v Speaker 2>you're like, all right, well, they unified the belts. He

1025
00:51:28.840 --> 00:51:32.159
<v Speaker 2>barely defends it. He's not unsmacked down. He's on like

1026
00:51:32.199 --> 00:51:34.639
<v Speaker 2>one out of every four smackdowns. He doesn't do house shows,

1027
00:51:35.199 --> 00:51:38.440
<v Speaker 2>and nobody is talking about challenging for the championship because

1028
00:51:38.440 --> 00:51:41.239
<v Speaker 2>Arouno championships other than the US and Intercontinental for the

1029
00:51:41.239 --> 00:51:45.719
<v Speaker 2>men's side anyway. So yeah, like I don't hate the idea,

1030
00:51:45.960 --> 00:51:49.119
<v Speaker 2>I just don't like the execution of and the results

1031
00:51:49.159 --> 00:51:51.519
<v Speaker 2>after a few months now of like, okay, well they

1032
00:51:51.559 --> 00:51:54.280
<v Speaker 2>took the belts and essentially just like you know, buried

1033
00:51:54.320 --> 00:51:55.480
<v Speaker 2>them temporarily.

1034
00:51:55.559 --> 00:51:59.400
<v Speaker 3>So yeah, I mean, yeah, I agree with you. I

1035
00:51:59.440 --> 00:52:03.000
<v Speaker 3>agree with you on that, but I think I want them.

1036
00:52:03.079 --> 00:52:04.880
<v Speaker 3>I want to see him split now, Like I don't.

1037
00:52:04.920 --> 00:52:07.079
<v Speaker 4>I don't want it was a fun idea at first,

1038
00:52:07.119 --> 00:52:09.119
<v Speaker 4>and like Roman holding on the belts, but like you said,

1039
00:52:09.159 --> 00:52:11.679
<v Speaker 4>it just just that he's gone and you don't see

1040
00:52:11.719 --> 00:52:15.239
<v Speaker 4>the belts, like you don't even see them. And I

1041
00:52:15.280 --> 00:52:18.679
<v Speaker 4>honestly don't think Raw is like suffocating like without a

1042
00:52:18.679 --> 00:52:19.519
<v Speaker 4>belt that much.

1043
00:52:19.559 --> 00:52:21.000
<v Speaker 3>I mean, they need a belt, but I.

1044
00:52:20.960 --> 00:52:24.639
<v Speaker 4>Think they're doing pretty well on their own. But I

1045
00:52:24.760 --> 00:52:26.880
<v Speaker 4>want to see them split at some point. And it

1046
00:52:26.880 --> 00:52:28.880
<v Speaker 4>makes me wonder, like with this whole money in the

1047
00:52:28.920 --> 00:52:31.719
<v Speaker 4>bank match happening in the contracts, like what do the

1048
00:52:31.760 --> 00:52:36.000
<v Speaker 4>contracts say, like inside the briefcase.

1049
00:52:35.440 --> 00:52:39.159
<v Speaker 3>Like what if they say for one belt and like

1050
00:52:39.320 --> 00:52:39.880
<v Speaker 3>they go on.

1051
00:52:39.800 --> 00:52:41.440
<v Speaker 4>The story and like, oh, we haven't updated them, and

1052
00:52:41.440 --> 00:52:43.800
<v Speaker 4>it looks like it's actually for one belt, and you

1053
00:52:43.800 --> 00:52:45.960
<v Speaker 4>know you can actually only challenge for one belt. So

1054
00:52:46.440 --> 00:52:49.880
<v Speaker 4>what if Rollins gets the briefcase and he opens it

1055
00:52:49.920 --> 00:52:53.519
<v Speaker 4>and sees that it's for the Universal or the ww Championship,

1056
00:52:54.599 --> 00:52:59.039
<v Speaker 4>Because I I could see them Rolin's having a championship

1057
00:52:59.360 --> 00:53:01.920
<v Speaker 4>and then I want to see Drew with a championship

1058
00:53:01.960 --> 00:53:02.840
<v Speaker 4>two at some point, so.

1059
00:53:02.800 --> 00:53:05.239
<v Speaker 3>Like they split it. Ron's can have the belt for

1060
00:53:05.280 --> 00:53:07.719
<v Speaker 3>whenever he wants it, Summer slam, ros mean whatever.

1061
00:53:07.800 --> 00:53:10.480
<v Speaker 4>And then you can still have Drew when the other

1062
00:53:10.559 --> 00:53:12.960
<v Speaker 4>one at the clash of the Castle.

1063
00:53:14.960 --> 00:53:17.679
<v Speaker 2>I have in concept, I have no problem with that

1064
00:53:17.840 --> 00:53:20.440
<v Speaker 2>taking the belts and putting them back on the each brand,

1065
00:53:20.480 --> 00:53:23.239
<v Speaker 2>so each brand has a top belt to compete for.

1066
00:53:23.719 --> 00:53:27.760
<v Speaker 2>But again, when they tell us that summer at WrestleMania, hey,

1067
00:53:27.800 --> 00:53:30.840
<v Speaker 2>this is unifying. That means to bring together, even though

1068
00:53:30.880 --> 00:53:35.199
<v Speaker 2>I understand symbolically they're two separate belts. But they told

1069
00:53:35.280 --> 00:53:37.840
<v Speaker 2>us that the championship, not the physical title belts, but

1070
00:53:37.920 --> 00:53:41.480
<v Speaker 2>the championship is now unified. That means it's one. So

1071
00:53:41.599 --> 00:53:43.880
<v Speaker 2>you're right. I could see them doing that though, where

1072
00:53:43.920 --> 00:53:47.039
<v Speaker 2>like people aren't thinking like this and they're just saying, oh, well,

1073
00:53:47.599 --> 00:53:50.519
<v Speaker 2>you know, he has those two belts, so he's he

1074
00:53:50.639 --> 00:53:53.000
<v Speaker 2>technically the money in the bank. No one read the contract.

1075
00:53:53.079 --> 00:53:54.760
<v Speaker 2>He thought it was for both. It's only for one.

1076
00:53:54.800 --> 00:53:58.159
<v Speaker 2>It's like, well, wait a minute, WrestleMania unified them, So.

1077
00:53:58.800 --> 00:54:00.599
<v Speaker 4>I mean you could also do in a way of

1078
00:54:00.679 --> 00:54:05.960
<v Speaker 4>like it was Paul Hammon's and Roman Rings idea. So

1079
00:54:06.000 --> 00:54:09.000
<v Speaker 4>he doesn't like lose the universal, like he's always had

1080
00:54:09.000 --> 00:54:11.079
<v Speaker 4>the universal, so what if.

1081
00:54:10.960 --> 00:54:11.800
<v Speaker 3>It was their idea?

1082
00:54:11.880 --> 00:54:14.159
<v Speaker 4>So it's like he does, he loses one, but he

1083
00:54:14.239 --> 00:54:16.800
<v Speaker 4>still technically has the other one, so he's still the

1084
00:54:16.880 --> 00:54:19.239
<v Speaker 4>champion of that one, so he doesn't lose the streak.

1085
00:54:19.360 --> 00:54:20.960
<v Speaker 3>So what if they came up with the idea.

1086
00:54:20.679 --> 00:54:22.679
<v Speaker 4>Of like, Okay, well if I lose that belt, fine,

1087
00:54:22.719 --> 00:54:24.800
<v Speaker 4>but I still have this belt where I still have

1088
00:54:24.920 --> 00:54:28.039
<v Speaker 4>my streak on it, you know, yeah, yeah.

1089
00:54:27.840 --> 00:54:30.199
<v Speaker 2>That I could see them doing that. I mean, they

1090
00:54:30.519 --> 00:54:33.239
<v Speaker 2>have so many large holes in storylines now anyway, it's

1091
00:54:33.239 --> 00:54:34.880
<v Speaker 2>not that far of a reach to say that they

1092
00:54:34.880 --> 00:54:37.440
<v Speaker 2>would do something like that. And you know what I

1093
00:54:37.440 --> 00:54:40.440
<v Speaker 2>would be. I would actually be okay with letting that

1094
00:54:40.559 --> 00:54:43.960
<v Speaker 2>slide simply for the benefit of getting a top championship

1095
00:54:44.039 --> 00:54:46.920
<v Speaker 2>back on Raw and Seth as a champion, and then

1096
00:54:46.960 --> 00:54:50.000
<v Speaker 2>you can have Roman hold that Universal championship until drew

1097
00:54:50.079 --> 00:54:52.360
<v Speaker 2>A clashed the Castle. But I just have no faith

1098
00:54:52.400 --> 00:54:54.800
<v Speaker 2>and I really think sadly that they're gonna go with

1099
00:54:54.920 --> 00:54:58.079
<v Speaker 2>Rock and Roman for the Universal Championship or unified whatever

1100
00:54:58.280 --> 00:55:02.239
<v Speaker 2>at WrestleMania, and I don't want the belt involved at all.

1101
00:55:02.320 --> 00:55:05.199
<v Speaker 2>I mean, would you you would you want the belt

1102
00:55:05.239 --> 00:55:08.239
<v Speaker 2>involved with Rock and Rollman at WrestleMania.

1103
00:55:09.119 --> 00:55:14.559
<v Speaker 4>I mean no, because then you would know the outcome,

1104
00:55:15.199 --> 00:55:20.400
<v Speaker 4>like the Rock's not going to win the belt at

1105
00:55:20.519 --> 00:55:23.320
<v Speaker 4>least you don't think so, like, because he's so busy,

1106
00:55:23.719 --> 00:55:27.039
<v Speaker 4>he's not going to come back to WW for a run,

1107
00:55:28.039 --> 00:55:30.440
<v Speaker 4>so it would make it obvious and make it very predictable.

1108
00:55:30.480 --> 00:55:32.519
<v Speaker 4>And I think that's a match that you don't want

1109
00:55:32.559 --> 00:55:35.840
<v Speaker 4>to be predictable at all, because that match, when it

1110
00:55:35.880 --> 00:55:39.199
<v Speaker 4>does happen, will be fantastic, and you don't want any

1111
00:55:39.239 --> 00:55:42.400
<v Speaker 4>inclination of what is going to happen in the slightest.

1112
00:55:43.039 --> 00:55:45.440
<v Speaker 4>So no, I don't want the belt in it, just

1113
00:55:45.519 --> 00:55:47.920
<v Speaker 4>because I don't want it to be predictable like they do.

1114
00:55:47.960 --> 00:55:50.920
<v Speaker 3>With a lot of their matches. So yeah, no, no

1115
00:55:51.000 --> 00:55:51.559
<v Speaker 3>belt in that.

1116
00:55:52.480 --> 00:55:54.920
<v Speaker 2>Okay, Yeah, no, I'm just trying to see if there's

1117
00:55:54.920 --> 00:55:57.559
<v Speaker 2>an argument to be made that I'm not thinking of that.

1118
00:55:57.639 --> 00:55:59.840
<v Speaker 2>It's like, yeah, it actually be better with the belt. I

1119
00:56:00.119 --> 00:56:02.599
<v Speaker 2>can't think of one other than the marketing, like Vince

1120
00:56:02.599 --> 00:56:06.480
<v Speaker 2>would love to say the very superficially, Oh, it's for

1121
00:56:06.519 --> 00:56:09.440
<v Speaker 2>the championship, that makes it bigger, And when you take

1122
00:56:09.480 --> 00:56:11.840
<v Speaker 2>five seconds you're like, well no, actually, wait a minute. No,

1123
00:56:12.039 --> 00:56:14.599
<v Speaker 2>Rock is a Hollywood star, He's here for one match only.

1124
00:56:14.960 --> 00:56:17.280
<v Speaker 2>Why would I want the belt involved? Which would just

1125
00:56:17.320 --> 00:56:19.760
<v Speaker 2>totally exploit the outcome of the match, like you said,

1126
00:56:20.559 --> 00:56:23.360
<v Speaker 2>and it would also mean that Roman's champion for another

1127
00:56:23.480 --> 00:56:27.119
<v Speaker 2>what like six months, whatever the hell it is, you know,

1128
00:56:27.199 --> 00:56:30.519
<v Speaker 2>And I think people are ready to move on. I am,

1129
00:56:30.880 --> 00:56:32.559
<v Speaker 2>and I was. I was like one of the last

1130
00:56:32.559 --> 00:56:35.400
<v Speaker 2>holdouts of like, no, it's kind of going good. I'm ready,

1131
00:56:35.519 --> 00:56:38.159
<v Speaker 2>Like I'm like, okay, this has been a fun run.

1132
00:56:38.239 --> 00:56:41.599
<v Speaker 2>It's been now almost exactly two years at Wrestlerman or

1133
00:56:41.760 --> 00:56:45.320
<v Speaker 2>SummerSlam twenty twenty when he came back during the pandemic

1134
00:56:45.320 --> 00:56:48.800
<v Speaker 2>era and beat I think it was braun Strowman and

1135
00:56:48.880 --> 00:56:50.920
<v Speaker 2>the triple threat or he made it a triple threat

1136
00:56:51.000 --> 00:56:55.599
<v Speaker 2>or something and spared him and won the belt. So

1137
00:56:56.239 --> 00:56:59.360
<v Speaker 2>to me, I think that you have a fan base

1138
00:56:59.360 --> 00:57:03.079
<v Speaker 2>that's gettingless. They're ready. It's like, okay, can we give

1139
00:57:03.360 --> 00:57:07.320
<v Speaker 2>can we give give somebody the victory like seth rollins

1140
00:57:07.559 --> 00:57:10.519
<v Speaker 2>so we can get back to kind of regular, like

1141
00:57:10.840 --> 00:57:15.480
<v Speaker 2>regular scheduled programming here because everything is being withheld with

1142
00:57:15.639 --> 00:57:18.920
<v Speaker 2>Roman reigns everything, and it's just for a guy that's

1143
00:57:18.920 --> 00:57:22.519
<v Speaker 2>not there much anymore anyway. It's it's a burden. It's

1144
00:57:22.559 --> 00:57:25.360
<v Speaker 2>a burden on fans, and I'm sure that the guys

1145
00:57:25.400 --> 00:57:27.480
<v Speaker 2>in the back are like, hey, like he's not here

1146
00:57:27.519 --> 00:57:30.079
<v Speaker 2>a lot. Can we can we compete for a championship?

1147
00:57:30.119 --> 00:57:33.079
<v Speaker 2>You know? Like so, I don't know, but anyway, I

1148
00:57:33.159 --> 00:57:35.920
<v Speaker 2>think we both agree Seth Rollins wins this match. If

1149
00:57:35.960 --> 00:57:38.239
<v Speaker 2>you had to pick a second, you know, if you

1150
00:57:38.280 --> 00:57:40.199
<v Speaker 2>were like, okay, if Seth doesn't win, who who would

1151
00:57:40.199 --> 00:57:40.800
<v Speaker 2>be your second?

1152
00:57:45.480 --> 00:57:50.480
<v Speaker 4>I don't want to go to my samisay predictions that's

1153
00:57:50.519 --> 00:57:58.599
<v Speaker 4>your second one. I feel like, okay, hold on, I

1154
00:57:58.639 --> 00:58:03.840
<v Speaker 4>think it'll be Seth and Riddle.

1155
00:58:04.199 --> 00:58:06.559
<v Speaker 3>I think it'd be Seth and Riddle climbing up the ladders.

1156
00:58:06.719 --> 00:58:09.800
<v Speaker 4>Maybe even Drew, but I think it'll be Seth and

1157
00:58:09.880 --> 00:58:12.840
<v Speaker 4>Riddle just because they've also had a little thing going on,

1158
00:58:13.000 --> 00:58:14.000
<v Speaker 4>you know, the past couple of weeks.

1159
00:58:14.039 --> 00:58:17.760
<v Speaker 3>I mean, they've had a couple of run ins. But yeah,

1160
00:58:17.800 --> 00:58:20.159
<v Speaker 3>I think climbing up the ladders that are to the

1161
00:58:20.239 --> 00:58:22.400
<v Speaker 3>last two will be the same.

1162
00:58:22.639 --> 00:58:26.159
<v Speaker 4>I'm not saying geez see, even my subconscious wants to say, see.

1163
00:58:26.280 --> 00:58:29.079
<v Speaker 2>You're you're suppressing, you're suppressing your urge.

1164
00:58:29.239 --> 00:58:33.519
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, but actually, one thing I want to happen in

1165
00:58:33.559 --> 00:58:37.639
<v Speaker 4>this match, I will say I need all of them, Seamus, Madcap, Sammy,

1166
00:58:37.679 --> 00:58:42.000
<v Speaker 4>Seth Riddle and Drew be right when the match begins,

1167
00:58:42.800 --> 00:58:45.760
<v Speaker 4>gang up on Omas, throw him out of the ring,

1168
00:58:46.480 --> 00:58:50.239
<v Speaker 4>attack him for a good five minutes, and just leave

1169
00:58:50.320 --> 00:58:53.159
<v Speaker 4>him on the floor, and then they continue the match.

1170
00:58:54.679 --> 00:58:57.199
<v Speaker 2>I think I think that's going to happen at some

1171
00:58:57.239 --> 00:58:59.679
<v Speaker 2>point anyway, because Amas in a ring for a long

1172
00:58:59.719 --> 00:59:01.480
<v Speaker 2>period of time. He's not ready for that, and I

1173
00:59:01.519 --> 00:59:04.440
<v Speaker 2>think it would expose his weaknesses. So something exactly like

1174
00:59:04.480 --> 00:59:06.440
<v Speaker 2>that probably will happen. Well, he'll be like taking a

1175
00:59:06.519 --> 00:59:09.000
<v Speaker 2>nap at ringside after somebody attacks him, and he'll just

1176
00:59:09.000 --> 00:59:11.079
<v Speaker 2>be laying there. Maybe they'll have like a pillow underneath

1177
00:59:11.079 --> 00:59:13.000
<v Speaker 2>the ring he can kind of hang out, and then

1178
00:59:13.039 --> 00:59:15.199
<v Speaker 2>when it's time he'll come back into the ring and

1179
00:59:15.280 --> 00:59:17.639
<v Speaker 2>you know, people like, oh, my god, Amasa's back up,

1180
00:59:17.719 --> 00:59:20.960
<v Speaker 2>My god, what you know, the Nigerian giant, And you

1181
00:59:20.960 --> 00:59:23.519
<v Speaker 2>know he'll have a spot where he'll have his fingertips

1182
00:59:23.519 --> 00:59:26.840
<v Speaker 2>on the briefcase and you think he'll might have a chance,

1183
00:59:27.199 --> 00:59:29.440
<v Speaker 2>But it's not gonna happen. I mean, my second is

1184
00:59:29.519 --> 00:59:33.239
<v Speaker 2>Drew McIntyre, again an uninteresting pick, but if Seth doesn't

1185
00:59:33.239 --> 00:59:35.920
<v Speaker 2>win it, I think Drew is probably in second place

1186
00:59:35.960 --> 00:59:38.960
<v Speaker 2>to win this. So he can say to Roman you

1187
00:59:39.360 --> 00:59:42.440
<v Speaker 2>can't duck me any longer. I am going to cash

1188
00:59:42.480 --> 00:59:45.280
<v Speaker 2>this in on you. You just don't know when, you know, Like,

1189
00:59:45.519 --> 00:59:47.760
<v Speaker 2>I think that Drew has a case to be made here.

1190
00:59:47.760 --> 00:59:50.039
<v Speaker 2>I mean, they've been on the same show for how

1191
00:59:50.119 --> 00:59:52.719
<v Speaker 2>long and they have for the most part, not the

1192
00:59:52.840 --> 00:59:55.360
<v Speaker 2>entire time, but for the most part avoided one another.

1193
00:59:55.800 --> 00:59:58.000
<v Speaker 2>And I think that it would be a fun, a

1194
00:59:58.000 --> 01:00:00.599
<v Speaker 2>fun thing to do to hang that over the head

1195
01:00:00.639 --> 01:00:03.039
<v Speaker 2>of Roman Reigns and have him stressed out, you know,

1196
01:00:03.119 --> 01:00:05.559
<v Speaker 2>every week or every three weeks when he's there, have

1197
01:00:05.559 --> 01:00:08.239
<v Speaker 2>Paul Hayman comment on it. So I think Drew is

1198
01:00:08.239 --> 01:00:10.960
<v Speaker 2>a strong second, with Seth Rowlins still number one for me.

1199
01:00:11.079 --> 01:00:15.199
<v Speaker 3>So yeah, I would says it would it would be

1200
01:00:15.239 --> 01:00:15.679
<v Speaker 3>those three.

1201
01:00:15.719 --> 01:00:18.199
<v Speaker 4>It'd be Seth, Riddle, and then Drew. But I'm a

1202
01:00:18.239 --> 01:00:20.440
<v Speaker 4>stick with Seth and Riddle for the last.

1203
01:00:20.920 --> 01:00:23.400
<v Speaker 2>Even though Riddle doesn't make sense, Like no one's talking

1204
01:00:23.440 --> 01:00:27.079
<v Speaker 2>about this where Riddle just lost in a match where

1205
01:00:27.079 --> 01:00:31.000
<v Speaker 2>the stipulation against Roman was if you lose, you can

1206
01:00:31.119 --> 01:00:35.320
<v Speaker 2>never compete in a championship match as long as Roman

1207
01:00:35.360 --> 01:00:37.719
<v Speaker 2>Reigns is champion against you know, for his belts, So

1208
01:00:38.679 --> 01:00:39.480
<v Speaker 2>how does that work?

1209
01:00:39.639 --> 01:00:42.960
<v Speaker 4>I mean, so they just threw out there and then

1210
01:00:43.000 --> 01:00:48.079
<v Speaker 4>we're like, oh, yeah, Like we shouldn't have said that, because.

1211
01:00:48.159 --> 01:00:52.440
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, yeah, they did. See that's the again, that's

1212
01:00:52.480 --> 01:00:55.760
<v Speaker 2>not that that's not thought through and it's not thinking ahead,

1213
01:00:55.800 --> 01:00:58.760
<v Speaker 2>it's thinking in the moment. And I think they're hoping, ah,

1214
01:00:58.800 --> 01:01:01.719
<v Speaker 2>fans will forget that not mentioned it, guys didn't happen

1215
01:01:02.440 --> 01:01:04.400
<v Speaker 2>because I mean they also knew that Riddle wasn't gonna

1216
01:01:04.400 --> 01:01:07.519
<v Speaker 2>win it, so they didn't really care. So yeah, but

1217
01:01:07.599 --> 01:01:09.440
<v Speaker 2>I just thought about that. I'm like, and they mentioned

1218
01:01:09.480 --> 01:01:11.599
<v Speaker 2>it like the very next week, and Riddle's like, I'm gonna,

1219
01:01:11.639 --> 01:01:13.440
<v Speaker 2>you know, get my vengeance and win the money in

1220
01:01:13.480 --> 01:01:15.559
<v Speaker 2>the bank. I'm like, but you just lost a match

1221
01:01:16.000 --> 01:01:19.840
<v Speaker 2>that you can't compete, So I don't know. It's one

1222
01:01:19.840 --> 01:01:22.719
<v Speaker 2>of those No, they won't explain it, they won't bring

1223
01:01:22.760 --> 01:01:26.760
<v Speaker 2>it up, it'll just never it didn't happen. So and

1224
01:01:26.840 --> 01:01:28.840
<v Speaker 2>so okay, we've gone through the whole card. So it's

1225
01:01:28.880 --> 01:01:30.280
<v Speaker 2>kind of wrap things up. Do you think there'll be

1226
01:01:30.280 --> 01:01:33.559
<v Speaker 2>any big surprise returns or maybe things were not thinking

1227
01:01:33.599 --> 01:01:36.000
<v Speaker 2>about that. Somebody can make an appearance anything like that.

1228
01:01:37.920 --> 01:01:43.000
<v Speaker 4>I mean, there's John Cena, Like you said, Bailey, did

1229
01:01:43.519 --> 01:01:45.599
<v Speaker 4>you say you think Bailey's gonna turn.

1230
01:01:45.840 --> 01:01:48.199
<v Speaker 2>I think there's a snow. I think i'd give it

1231
01:01:48.239 --> 01:01:50.960
<v Speaker 2>a small chance, but I think more likely she'll return

1232
01:01:51.039 --> 01:01:53.639
<v Speaker 2>on the next Friday Night SmackDown as the next contender

1233
01:01:53.679 --> 01:01:54.519
<v Speaker 2>for Rowsy. Yeah.

1234
01:01:55.239 --> 01:01:59.840
<v Speaker 4>Okay, okay, yeah, I mean I would say, I mean

1235
01:02:00.039 --> 01:02:02.719
<v Speaker 4>there's a small chance John Cena shows up, But other

1236
01:02:02.840 --> 01:02:06.280
<v Speaker 4>than that, I can't really think of anyone that you

1237
01:02:06.280 --> 01:02:07.800
<v Speaker 4>know would be a surprise return.

1238
01:02:08.199 --> 01:02:09.360
<v Speaker 3>Do you have anyone else?

1239
01:02:09.920 --> 01:02:13.159
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think John Cena is a small chance. I

1240
01:02:13.159 --> 01:02:15.719
<v Speaker 2>think Bailey's small chance. I also think there's a small

1241
01:02:15.800 --> 01:02:19.360
<v Speaker 2>chance of Roman Reigns himself appearing to interfere, you know,

1242
01:02:19.559 --> 01:02:24.119
<v Speaker 2>in the the tag title match. Maybe maybe I think

1243
01:02:24.119 --> 01:02:26.920
<v Speaker 2>that that's against small Would he interfere in the ladder

1244
01:02:26.960 --> 01:02:30.119
<v Speaker 2>match money bag ladder match? Maybe maybe he tries to,

1245
01:02:30.760 --> 01:02:32.920
<v Speaker 2>you know, pick somebody he doesn't want to face and

1246
01:02:33.119 --> 01:02:35.480
<v Speaker 2>screw them out of the opportunity. I mean, there's no

1247
01:02:35.599 --> 01:02:38.159
<v Speaker 2>rules in that match, so he could just outright interfere

1248
01:02:38.199 --> 01:02:41.000
<v Speaker 2>with no no, not worrying about being decute or anything.

1249
01:02:41.079 --> 01:02:44.239
<v Speaker 2>So you know, it's possible. I think Roman Reigns probably

1250
01:02:44.320 --> 01:02:46.880
<v Speaker 2>takes this entire event off. I don't think he's going

1251
01:02:46.920 --> 01:02:49.559
<v Speaker 2>to appear. But if you're gonna, you know, put some

1252
01:02:49.639 --> 01:02:52.360
<v Speaker 2>people out there. I think, like you said, Bailey Johnson

1253
01:02:52.440 --> 01:02:54.960
<v Speaker 2>and Roman Reigns have all small chances of appearing.

1254
01:02:55.599 --> 01:02:58.320
<v Speaker 4>Don't you think it's funny that we're talking about Roman

1255
01:02:58.400 --> 01:02:59.960
<v Speaker 4>showing up at a pay per view and he's.

1256
01:02:59.800 --> 01:03:05.840
<v Speaker 2>The It's that's how low and how far? That's how

1257
01:03:05.920 --> 01:03:08.239
<v Speaker 2>low the bar is, guys for how often we think

1258
01:03:08.239 --> 01:03:10.920
<v Speaker 2>our champion is gonna yelp here and defend his belt.

1259
01:03:10.960 --> 01:03:14.800
<v Speaker 2>He's defended the belt once, I believe once since he

1260
01:03:14.840 --> 01:03:18.280
<v Speaker 2>wanted it WrestleMania. Uh yeah, like two months ago, So

1261
01:03:18.559 --> 01:03:23.480
<v Speaker 2>that's how long. Yeah, the bar is very low. It's yeah,

1262
01:03:23.519 --> 01:03:25.880
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. I'm ready. So all right, Well, I

1263
01:03:25.920 --> 01:03:27.880
<v Speaker 2>think that wraps things up. Did you have anything else

1264
01:03:27.960 --> 01:03:30.920
<v Speaker 2>that I'm not thinking about the questions or comments on

1265
01:03:31.239 --> 01:03:31.880
<v Speaker 2>the event?

1266
01:03:35.119 --> 01:03:38.880
<v Speaker 3>No, I'm not that I know of I do have.

1267
01:03:39.639 --> 01:03:40.920
<v Speaker 4>I don't know if you heard this for it's not

1268
01:03:40.920 --> 01:03:43.079
<v Speaker 4>really about the event, but it's a little bit about

1269
01:03:43.119 --> 01:03:45.800
<v Speaker 4>women's wrestling, a little a big thing in women's wrestling.

1270
01:03:46.920 --> 01:03:50.159
<v Speaker 3>If you want to, yeah, go ahead. So Sasha Banks

1271
01:03:50.159 --> 01:03:53.719
<v Speaker 3>in Naomi, I heard that.

1272
01:03:54.519 --> 01:03:57.440
<v Speaker 4>I don't know if you heard this, but they it's

1273
01:03:57.519 --> 01:04:01.760
<v Speaker 4>it's reports are saying that they were show specifically was

1274
01:04:01.880 --> 01:04:08.159
<v Speaker 4>released like June tenth. But now higher ups are trying

1275
01:04:08.199 --> 01:04:11.400
<v Speaker 4>to smooth things over. So I guess higher ups meaning

1276
01:04:11.480 --> 01:04:14.920
<v Speaker 4>Stephanie now that she's in the CEO position.

1277
01:04:16.000 --> 01:04:19.440
<v Speaker 3>So I don't think hope is lost ship for Sasha

1278
01:04:21.719 --> 01:04:22.920
<v Speaker 3>being off of WWE.

1279
01:04:22.960 --> 01:04:25.840
<v Speaker 4>I think that if they are trying to smooth things over,

1280
01:04:26.880 --> 01:04:29.599
<v Speaker 4>there's a chance that she could be back on TV possibly.

1281
01:04:31.719 --> 01:04:34.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's there's another reason why I think SmackDown has

1282
01:04:34.960 --> 01:04:38.119
<v Speaker 2>taken a big hit. I mean, Charlotte, Sasha, and Bailey

1283
01:04:38.159 --> 01:04:41.840
<v Speaker 2>all out. Yeah, I mean I did not hear that.

1284
01:04:41.920 --> 01:04:44.840
<v Speaker 2>It's also interesting too, like I mean, I so many

1285
01:04:44.840 --> 01:04:47.519
<v Speaker 2>outlets had reported all she's released, but WWE never made

1286
01:04:47.519 --> 01:04:50.400
<v Speaker 2>a statement I don't think, right, Like, they never publicly

1287
01:04:50.519 --> 01:04:54.880
<v Speaker 2>said yeah, they never put out the future endeavored statement

1288
01:04:55.000 --> 01:04:56.639
<v Speaker 2>that they put out for everybody. So that was the

1289
01:04:56.679 --> 01:04:58.880
<v Speaker 2>one thing. I'm like, oh, okay, well maybe they just

1290
01:04:58.920 --> 01:05:00.840
<v Speaker 2>don't want to say it, but she really, I mean,

1291
01:05:00.840 --> 01:05:02.480
<v Speaker 2>I have no problem with that. You know. I think

1292
01:05:02.480 --> 01:05:04.960
<v Speaker 2>that whatever the issues may be, and they seem to

1293
01:05:05.039 --> 01:05:07.840
<v Speaker 2>be deep and they seem to be a long lasting,

1294
01:05:07.840 --> 01:05:09.559
<v Speaker 2>they seem to have something that has been going on

1295
01:05:09.639 --> 01:05:13.880
<v Speaker 2>for quite some time and multi layered, probably a feeling

1296
01:05:13.920 --> 01:05:17.760
<v Speaker 2>of disrespect the way they've creatively used her, you know,

1297
01:05:17.800 --> 01:05:20.199
<v Speaker 2>that kind of thing. And to be fair, though, Sasha

1298
01:05:20.199 --> 01:05:22.800
<v Speaker 2>has also been randomly out throughout her career for like

1299
01:05:22.880 --> 01:05:26.280
<v Speaker 2>months at a time with no explanation. She's had the

1300
01:05:26.280 --> 01:05:30.199
<v Speaker 2>most bizarre run over the last several years. It's it's fascinating,

1301
01:05:30.599 --> 01:05:32.280
<v Speaker 2>But I have no problem with that. I mean, if

1302
01:05:32.320 --> 01:05:36.480
<v Speaker 2>Sasha comes back and they you know, make amends and

1303
01:05:36.679 --> 01:05:39.960
<v Speaker 2>all is well, then cool. I mean, then that's no problem.

1304
01:05:40.039 --> 01:05:42.400
<v Speaker 2>They've they're able to bring back a star that probably

1305
01:05:42.480 --> 01:05:46.519
<v Speaker 2>was maybe aw bound or who knows, maybe whatever she

1306
01:05:46.559 --> 01:05:48.320
<v Speaker 2>wants to do. She's certainly got enough money I'm sure

1307
01:05:48.320 --> 01:05:51.639
<v Speaker 2>in the bank. No pun intended, but she definitely is

1308
01:05:51.840 --> 01:05:53.599
<v Speaker 2>is somebody that I think if she came back, the

1309
01:05:53.639 --> 01:05:57.360
<v Speaker 2>crowd would be like what like people would the pop

1310
01:05:57.400 --> 01:05:59.519
<v Speaker 2>would be huge because of everything everyone knows.

1311
01:06:00.519 --> 01:06:04.519
<v Speaker 4>They need to try really hard because she has a

1312
01:06:04.719 --> 01:06:09.199
<v Speaker 4>lot of star power and talent in WW in general.

1313
01:06:09.599 --> 01:06:11.840
<v Speaker 4>So I think I don't know what they're doing right now,

1314
01:06:12.039 --> 01:06:14.519
<v Speaker 4>but if they are trying to smooth things over, they

1315
01:06:14.559 --> 01:06:18.800
<v Speaker 4>need to try as hard as possible because SmackDown.

1316
01:06:18.360 --> 01:06:21.800
<v Speaker 3>And the women's division in general really needs Sasha in

1317
01:06:21.880 --> 01:06:24.199
<v Speaker 3>Naomi too. I mean I was Naomi singer on TV.

1318
01:06:24.679 --> 01:06:28.199
<v Speaker 4>So I think they need to get them back like asap,

1319
01:06:28.320 --> 01:06:33.480
<v Speaker 4>because not only does the SmackDown roster very much need them,

1320
01:06:33.639 --> 01:06:36.360
<v Speaker 4>but the women's division really needs needs them as well.

1321
01:06:36.679 --> 01:06:38.880
<v Speaker 2>Well, they don't have a they don't have a tag

1322
01:06:38.920 --> 01:06:41.360
<v Speaker 2>team division. They've never had a tag team division. They've

1323
01:06:41.360 --> 01:06:44.400
<v Speaker 2>had well yeah, they've had championship belts for a division

1324
01:06:44.400 --> 01:06:47.840
<v Speaker 2>that doesn't exist. Well yeah, the women's division, yeah division,

1325
01:06:47.880 --> 01:06:50.599
<v Speaker 2>oh yeah, yeah, no, no, but just the women's division in general.

1326
01:06:50.679 --> 01:06:53.440
<v Speaker 2>But I would like for the tag team to belts themselves.

1327
01:06:53.519 --> 01:06:55.440
<v Speaker 2>I mean, they have been nothing but a curse for

1328
01:06:55.559 --> 01:06:57.639
<v Speaker 2>w w WE. Outside of a few glimmers of hope.

1329
01:06:57.639 --> 01:07:01.840
<v Speaker 2>I mean even who was it, Naya Jacks and Shanna

1330
01:07:01.880 --> 01:07:04.639
<v Speaker 2>Beseler I think did actually credible job the Iconics for

1331
01:07:04.679 --> 01:07:06.719
<v Speaker 2>a hot minute were good, you know that kind of thing.

1332
01:07:06.760 --> 01:07:09.039
<v Speaker 2>But outside of that, most of the time they have

1333
01:07:09.119 --> 01:07:11.440
<v Speaker 2>not had a division. Most of the time they've had

1334
01:07:11.719 --> 01:07:15.360
<v Speaker 2>unopposed champions. I mean like they've had maybe one team

1335
01:07:15.440 --> 01:07:17.920
<v Speaker 2>or no teams in a division. So like either fifty

1336
01:07:17.920 --> 01:07:19.440
<v Speaker 2>percent or one hundred percent of the people in the

1337
01:07:19.559 --> 01:07:22.840
<v Speaker 2>in the division are champions. Mean, you do the math.

1338
01:07:22.880 --> 01:07:25.239
<v Speaker 2>But so I don't know. I mean I want to

1339
01:07:25.400 --> 01:07:27.440
<v Speaker 2>if they come back, I want them to quietly just

1340
01:07:27.480 --> 01:07:30.239
<v Speaker 2>put the tag belts aside until they have an established

1341
01:07:30.280 --> 01:07:32.920
<v Speaker 2>tag team division. They put the cart before the horse,

1342
01:07:33.119 --> 01:07:33.760
<v Speaker 2>is what they did.

1343
01:07:34.400 --> 01:07:38.320
<v Speaker 4>So yeah, and they also announced when Sash and Army

1344
01:07:38.440 --> 01:07:42.159
<v Speaker 4>left that they're gonna have a tag team tournament and haven't.

1345
01:07:42.360 --> 01:07:44.440
<v Speaker 4>It's been like a couple of months and they never

1346
01:07:44.639 --> 01:07:46.239
<v Speaker 4>said anything else about it.

1347
01:07:46.599 --> 01:07:48.840
<v Speaker 2>That's all you need to know. I mean, yeah, yeah,

1348
01:07:48.840 --> 01:07:51.679
<v Speaker 2>it's not good. I mean, like I understand what they're

1349
01:07:51.679 --> 01:07:52.920
<v Speaker 2>trying to do, and they're trying to make them on

1350
01:07:53.039 --> 01:07:55.199
<v Speaker 2>equal footing with the men, and like I get that,

1351
01:07:55.719 --> 01:07:59.000
<v Speaker 2>but like you need to delay the groundwork. You can't.

1352
01:07:59.360 --> 01:08:02.159
<v Speaker 2>You can't just create the championship and go oh, all

1353
01:08:02.280 --> 01:08:05.000
<v Speaker 2>is well, they're now seeing the problems with that. I mean,

1354
01:08:05.079 --> 01:08:08.159
<v Speaker 2>so they don't what they do with the World Rumble

1355
01:08:08.159 --> 01:08:12.320
<v Speaker 2>every year too, there's like twenty legitimate women in the

1356
01:08:12.719 --> 01:08:15.039
<v Speaker 2>event that are actually employed on a day to day

1357
01:08:15.039 --> 01:08:17.640
<v Speaker 2>basis by WWE, and then they always have those like

1358
01:08:18.000 --> 01:08:20.600
<v Speaker 2>ten women that come back from yesteryear that don't need

1359
01:08:20.640 --> 01:08:22.560
<v Speaker 2>to be in there anymore. Just to fill the thirty

1360
01:08:22.600 --> 01:08:25.239
<v Speaker 2>requirement of having a royal rumble. They have like you know,

1361
01:08:26.079 --> 01:08:29.800
<v Speaker 2>Leita come back and Summer Ray and like all these

1362
01:08:29.800 --> 01:08:32.800
<v Speaker 2>people from like fifteen years ago that can still halfway

1363
01:08:32.840 --> 01:08:34.680
<v Speaker 2>cut it in the ring. And it's like, this is

1364
01:08:34.720 --> 01:08:37.920
<v Speaker 2>an exposure of your of your own company not being

1365
01:08:37.920 --> 01:08:43.159
<v Speaker 2>able to create women's wrestlers and successful women's wrestlers. So yeah,

1366
01:08:43.199 --> 01:08:46.039
<v Speaker 2>they're not where they need to be. At the same time,

1367
01:08:46.119 --> 01:08:48.319
<v Speaker 2>you look back even just you know, five to ten

1368
01:08:48.399 --> 01:08:52.640
<v Speaker 2>years ago, and it's like, wow, what a difference. So yeah,

1369
01:08:52.680 --> 01:08:55.560
<v Speaker 2>all right, well that is I think I gonna do

1370
01:08:55.640 --> 01:08:58.319
<v Speaker 2>it for us tonight. And hopefully we didn't make you

1371
01:08:58.319 --> 01:09:01.119
