1
00:00:01,879 --> 00:00:05,040
Speaker 1: It's been a hot day here in New York. Too hot.

2
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:08,599
This show was not too hot tonight, but it was

3
00:00:08,679 --> 00:00:11,000
the first two hour SmackDown of the year. I'm very

4
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:14,119
happy about that. I am not complaining about the fact

5
00:00:14,119 --> 00:00:18,960
that we had a two hour SmackDown tonight. I always

6
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:21,120
said the time may change the quality of the show,

7
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:23,879
though that's a different story. Honestly, you know what this

8
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:26,920
show felt like tonight. This felt more like a ninety

9
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:31,199
minute show that they stretched out to two hours. And

10
00:00:31,359 --> 00:00:33,359
I'm sure part of the reason for that, anyway, is

11
00:00:33,399 --> 00:00:37,159
because they taped Raw on Monday and then immediately taped

12
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:40,719
SmackDown because they were giving everybody off of the Fourth

13
00:00:40,759 --> 00:00:43,439
of July holiday this weekend, so this was a tape show.

14
00:00:43,719 --> 00:00:46,520
They did two shows in one night, so I'm sure

15
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:49,920
they piped in some crowd noise. We got some crowds sweetening,

16
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:56,759
especially during that page. That page Bribella and Lany reidmatch,

17
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:00,479
And so we ended up with the show that we

18
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:03,200
ended up with here tonight's. It was not a very

19
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:06,359
good show, as his part for the chorus would SmackDown

20
00:01:07,519 --> 00:01:10,560
not a good show, but it was instantly better than

21
00:01:10,599 --> 00:01:13,480
every other three hour episode because there was one hour

22
00:01:13,599 --> 00:01:17,359
less of it dyes see, and we get to enjoy

23
00:01:17,359 --> 00:01:20,120
it now for the next six months. That's great. We

24
00:01:20,239 --> 00:01:24,280
do have a new number one contender for the WWE Championship.

25
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:29,000
It was Cody Rhodes and Jay Usso in the main

26
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:32,120
event of tonight's show, and the winner would go on

27
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:35,480
to Monday Night. We're on next week in Chicago to

28
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:40,680
challenge Sammy Zain for the WWE title. So Sammy's ain

29
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:42,680
got to come out tonight here on this show. He

30
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:46,879
got to revel in being champion for the first time

31
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:49,840
in his career. It may be the only time that

32
00:01:49,879 --> 00:01:53,400
Sammy z Ain walks out on SmackDown as the WWE champion,

33
00:01:53,439 --> 00:01:56,760
because it sure feels like he ain't gonna have that

34
00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:00,879
championship after Monday. So I sure hope Sammy has the

35
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:06,239
chance to enjoy it, however brief it may be, because

36
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,879
it sounds like it's coming to an end on Monday.

37
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:10,639
We had Cody, like I said in Jay in the

38
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:14,439
main event tonight, and I'm watching this match, and you know,

39
00:02:14,439 --> 00:02:16,719
they're doing what they do, They're going through the motions

40
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:19,039
and they're hitting all their usual spots, and I'm like

41
00:02:21,039 --> 00:02:23,520
this doesn't feel like a major Number one contenders match,

42
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:25,479
and then I laugh at the people who actually and

43
00:02:25,479 --> 00:02:27,479
there were some people I'm sure out there who thought

44
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:31,960
there was at least a possibility the WWE might do

45
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:36,039
Cody and Jay at SummerSlam because Jay was gonna win

46
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:37,960
King of the Ring, Brock was gonna screw Oh, but

47
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,199
we were gonna end up with King J And I'm like,

48
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:44,520
this isn't even a SmackDown main event, And there were

49
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:48,280
actually people who convinced themselves the WWE was going to

50
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:51,599
go with that as a night one stadium show main event.

51
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:55,479
Are you out of your fucking mind? It was barely

52
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:58,240
a main event here on this show, and it was

53
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:00,240
the only outcome that you knew we were going to

54
00:03:00,319 --> 00:03:02,199
get because they were going to run back Cody and

55
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:05,800
Sammy as soon as possible. Chicago is obviously a very

56
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:09,520
interesting place to do it. And so as we go

57
00:03:09,599 --> 00:03:12,639
along here, we'll talk a little bit more about that. Honestly,

58
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:15,120
the highlight of this show was and I feel like

59
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:16,759
this is the second or third time now that I'm

60
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,840
saying this, but the highlight of the show was Ray

61
00:03:19,879 --> 00:03:23,560
Phoenix defending his triple A cruiserweight Championship. We've seen him

62
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,840
defend it now against Axiom against Nathan Fraser. Tonight it

63
00:03:26,879 --> 00:03:29,599
was against VIKINGO, and they didn't get a lot of time.

64
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:32,800
They got about eight minutes. We got to see half

65
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,159
of it because there was a commercial in the middle.

66
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:39,000
But what we got from that was very good because

67
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,159
they're trying to push Triple A as hard as possible, so

68
00:03:42,199 --> 00:03:44,680
we had two Triple A champions in fact in that match,

69
00:03:44,759 --> 00:03:46,879
only for Ray Phoenix's title. I'll have an update on

70
00:03:46,919 --> 00:03:49,479
VIKINGO as well here in a little bit, and they

71
00:03:49,479 --> 00:03:52,199
have made a United States Championship match for next Friday

72
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:56,280
show will be Trick Williams defending his title against Carmelo Hayes.

73
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:59,919
Now that Trick Williams has vanquished Ricky Saints, who was

74
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,800
not on the show tonight, we were moving on to

75
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:06,039
Trick and Mellow, which may well also end up being

76
00:04:06,039 --> 00:04:09,159
a Summer Slam match. All Mellow has to do is

77
00:04:09,439 --> 00:04:12,199
beat Trick next week because that is a non title match,

78
00:04:12,319 --> 00:04:14,280
the championship will not be on the line. So I

79
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:19,600
guess the question is, is Ricky Saints done with Trick Williams.

80
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,079
He may not be. He may show up again. Next week,

81
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,439
he may get involved. We may yet end up with

82
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,720
a triple threat match involving all three men at some point,

83
00:04:28,639 --> 00:04:31,959
so they set that up for next week. Outside of that,

84
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,360
they moved some other things ahead. There were other stories

85
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:39,040
programs that they move forward, but they were all largely

86
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:44,000
boring things. Happy Fourth of July weekend, everybody. This is

87
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:47,879
your Friday Night SmackDown review. It is Friday Night, July third,

88
00:04:48,319 --> 00:04:52,920
two thousand and twenty six. I am the Solemn Monster

89
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:56,519
where it topped one hundred degrees today here in New

90
00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:01,920
York City. Real feel a lot more than that, And

91
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:06,000
of course, as I am just trying to survive the

92
00:05:06,079 --> 00:05:08,160
day and I am trying to get some work done,

93
00:05:09,079 --> 00:05:11,639
and I'm seeing all of these clips of all of

94
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:15,240
the closures, the street closures all over the city because

95
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:19,480
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelcey are getting married at Madison

96
00:05:19,519 --> 00:05:22,839
Square Garden, I'm sure with lots and lots of air

97
00:05:22,879 --> 00:05:28,399
conditioning inside MSG my living room air conditioner the compressor

98
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:34,079
died and so it's just blowing hot air on the

99
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:38,839
hottest day of the year. So yes, I'm certainly in

100
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:41,199
a mood today, But I hope wherever you may be

101
00:05:41,639 --> 00:05:44,199
that you are staying safe from this heat, because this

102
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:48,959
heat kills, especially when it comes to elderly neighbors, family members.

103
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,680
I mean, this is serious stuff here. Certain some of

104
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:53,240
you may be used to it in certain parts of

105
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:57,160
the country. Although who was a venom Catetsu? I think

106
00:05:57,199 --> 00:05:58,959
I saw in the chat before it says he lives

107
00:05:58,959 --> 00:06:01,279
in the desert and it only got maybe you didn't

108
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:03,199
even get into the nineties. It was hotter here than

109
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:06,319
it was there, and so this is not the kind

110
00:06:06,319 --> 00:06:09,519
of weather that we're necessarily used to. So be sure

111
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:13,120
to check on neighbors and loved ones because it's a

112
00:06:13,199 --> 00:06:18,199
dangerous situation, that's for sure. Like and subscribe. Super chats

113
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:20,279
are open. I know a bunch of them already came

114
00:06:20,319 --> 00:06:23,000
in earlier, which I love you guys for it. I'm

115
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,519
going to be reading through all of your messages. We

116
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:27,720
had a big night on Wednesday. I want to once

117
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:30,079
again shout out well, I mean there's a bunch of

118
00:06:30,079 --> 00:06:33,120
people to shout out, Boots being one of them, and

119
00:06:33,199 --> 00:06:38,360
Randy Bubandy, but Debtsife gifted almost thirty channel memberships on

120
00:06:38,439 --> 00:06:41,319
Wednesday alone, so I want to thank him again for that,

121
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:43,040
and I want to use that as an opportunity to

122
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,160
just remind people that you can become a channel member

123
00:06:45,199 --> 00:06:48,680
here on YouTube. If you see people using special emojis

124
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:52,360
in the chat, whenever there's a feature like rspw rewind,

125
00:06:52,399 --> 00:06:56,120
which you know there are ideas for other features that

126
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:59,560
I'd like to be working on. Channel members get early

127
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:03,199
access to that Legends. Tier members have access to some

128
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:06,399
of the retro audio, the very first episodes of the

129
00:07:06,439 --> 00:07:10,240
sound off from almost twenty years ago. There's some cool

130
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:13,000
stuff there, So go ahead and consider becoming a member,

131
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:16,920
or perhaps gifting a membership to somebody else. They're assigned randomly,

132
00:07:16,959 --> 00:07:18,680
by the way. You can't say I want to give

133
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:22,040
this person. You just gift them and they land where

134
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:26,279
they land. So anyway, the wheel is not working tonight.

135
00:07:26,879 --> 00:07:29,720
I think the heat shorted it out. So in lieu

136
00:07:29,759 --> 00:07:32,399
of the wheel, I will decree that tonight the goal

137
00:07:32,879 --> 00:07:34,879
to do be the book or the likes goal. We

138
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:38,000
need three hundred and fifty likes minimum on this stream.

139
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,279
If we could at least do three to fifty, then

140
00:07:40,319 --> 00:07:42,879
we will do be the booker. So that is the

141
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:49,920
goal for tonight. Now let's get into this program here. Hey,

142
00:07:50,079 --> 00:07:54,439
there's Teensen Zephyr activating super scene to thank you for

143
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:58,360
the ten spot teen Gen, I appreciate. Happy Fourth of

144
00:07:58,439 --> 00:08:05,480
July to you, brother and super both of you. I

145
00:08:05,519 --> 00:08:12,000
see everyone has their heat stories. It's crazy. It's like

146
00:08:12,079 --> 00:08:16,920
hell on Earth, it really is. I made the mistake

147
00:08:18,279 --> 00:08:25,040
of earlier in the week buying these valued naturals. I

148
00:08:25,079 --> 00:08:29,319
forgot the exact brand. There's a certain brand of these,

149
00:08:29,399 --> 00:08:32,480
like dark chocolate almonds, and I can't do the milk chocolate,

150
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:36,039
but these dark chocolate almonds. They're so fucking good, and

151
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:38,240
I made the mistake. I shouldn't have even bought them

152
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:40,399
this week. I buy them almost every week. I bought

153
00:08:40,399 --> 00:08:43,759
them this week. I have like a little fucking dish

154
00:08:43,799 --> 00:08:45,559
that they're in. I don't put them in the fridge.

155
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:49,759
I keep them out. I forgot all about them. Boy,

156
00:08:49,879 --> 00:08:53,919
was that a mistake. I no longer have dark chocolate almonds.

157
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:57,639
What I do have, though, is dark chocolate soup, if

158
00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:03,360
anybody would like some. They open with highlights from Night

159
00:09:03,399 --> 00:09:07,639
of champions in Riod this weekend and Sammy Zain winning

160
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:12,840
the WWE Championship, which evidently has made certain people in

161
00:09:12,879 --> 00:09:15,679
the community. It has made their heads explode. You love

162
00:09:15,759 --> 00:09:19,559
to see it, you love to see it. There are

163
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:22,799
some people who simply have had a meltdown over the

164
00:09:22,799 --> 00:09:25,360
fact that this man has won the WWE title, like

165
00:09:25,399 --> 00:09:27,600
it is the end of civilization as we know it,

166
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:33,799
crime more so. SmackDown then opened with the new WWE champion.

167
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,919
Did I mention that Sammy's ain making his way down

168
00:09:36,919 --> 00:09:39,360
to the ring, and he got a pretty good reaction.

169
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:42,600
All things considered, it was mixed but mostly positive, and

170
00:09:42,759 --> 00:09:46,000
Sammy talked about how people in the building are here

171
00:09:46,039 --> 00:09:50,679
to ride or die with the last real good guy.

172
00:09:52,279 --> 00:09:54,639
Said that all the support that he has received has

173
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:58,679
touched him truly from the bottom of his heart, thanks everybody,

174
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:02,080
and he acknowledged how he's been booed out of the

175
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:04,679
building for the past few months, said that it was

176
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:07,759
ironic because those same people that were booing were people

177
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:11,480
wanting to see him become champion only a few years ago.

178
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:15,639
Said that he can be petty to all of those

179
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:17,679
people who turn their backs on him, and he could

180
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:21,240
tell all of them to kiss my ass, but he's

181
00:10:21,279 --> 00:10:24,879
not going to do that because he's a good guy.

182
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:30,919
Sam He said he's holding it because he won't change,

183
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:34,240
said that people told him to be meaner. They told

184
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:37,639
him to be cutthroat, said that he didn't listen to them.

185
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:39,320
He said he did it his way, and he did

186
00:10:39,399 --> 00:10:41,559
it the right way. He said that he can be

187
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:43,559
petty to all those doubters who don't think that he's

188
00:10:43,639 --> 00:10:47,639
championship material. He could tell all of them to kiss

189
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:52,720
my ass, but he's not going to do that because

190
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:54,600
this is a celebration. He said that he will go

191
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:56,840
down now as one of the all time greats. He

192
00:10:56,879 --> 00:11:01,480
has headlined WrestleMania. He is a Grand Slam champion. No

193
00:11:01,639 --> 00:11:06,120
amount of booing, no amount of hate, no amount of

194
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:10,519
noise is going to take that away from him. And

195
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:17,440
that brought out the former WWE champion. Cody wrote after

196
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:20,080
he got in the ring, Sammy mockingly asked him, what

197
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:23,200
do you want to talk about. Cody said that Sammy

198
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:26,440
talked about how when Cody won the championship at WRESTLEMANI

199
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:28,759
of forty that he was the first in line to

200
00:11:28,919 --> 00:11:31,240
congratulate him. So he wanted to be the first to

201
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:35,120
come out here and congratulate Sammy on winning the WWE title.

202
00:11:35,759 --> 00:11:37,840
And the two of them shook hands and Cody went

203
00:11:37,919 --> 00:11:43,080
to go leave, and so he stopped him. He told

204
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:48,840
Cody get back here. He said Cody wasn't just here

205
00:11:48,879 --> 00:11:51,960
to congratulate him. It had to do with him having

206
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,279
what Cody used to have, which, by the way, as

207
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,639
this promo went on, we found out that Sammy was

208
00:11:56,720 --> 00:12:00,000
right and Cody was just lying through his teeth, because

209
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,440
Cody said later in this very same segment that he

210
00:12:03,519 --> 00:12:07,080
was out here looking for his rematch, and so he

211
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:11,600
wasn't just walk it off expecting nothing here. But he said,

212
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:13,639
you know again, I have what you used to have.

213
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:17,799
And before tensions could boil over, we heard Jay USO's

214
00:12:17,879 --> 00:12:21,639
music and he did not come yeading through the crowd.

215
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:24,200
He came like a normal person walking down the aisle

216
00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:27,639
to the ring. Fans wanted him to run it back.

217
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:30,000
He said he's not going to run it back because

218
00:12:30,039 --> 00:12:32,919
tonight it's not about him, it's about his oose, It's

219
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:38,679
about Sammy, and he said he was proud of Sammy

220
00:12:39,279 --> 00:12:41,840
for earning what he deserved. But Jay said he was

221
00:12:41,879 --> 00:12:44,120
out here on bloodline business and that this was his

222
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:47,240
warning shot to Sammy, said he needed to bring the

223
00:12:47,279 --> 00:12:51,960
gold back to the family. Cody interrupted, He asked, what

224
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:56,039
year is this? I actually could relate a lot in

225
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:58,480
this moment. To Cody Rose, I find myself asking this

226
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:04,279
very question quite often recently, fucking Roman Reigns and seth

227
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:07,759
Rollins in the main event of SummerSlam. We have edgend

228
00:13:07,799 --> 00:13:10,840
Christian his tag team champions in wrestling at the same

229
00:13:10,919 --> 00:13:14,519
time that the Hardys are the tag team champions in

230
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:19,399
another promotion in wrestling. I sometimes have to pinch myself

231
00:13:19,399 --> 00:13:21,960
and ask myself that same question, what year are we

232
00:13:22,039 --> 00:13:29,000
living in? So, Cody said he wanted to know. When

233
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:33,679
Jay reverted back to being an errand boy for Roman Reigns,

234
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:38,320
Cody said, it's time to talk about his rematch. Sammy's

235
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:41,200
ears perked up. He pointed out that Cody's had his chance.

236
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:44,639
This is Sammy's time to be champion. He told Jay

237
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:48,159
that the title is already in the family with him

238
00:13:48,159 --> 00:13:51,039
being an honorary USINOL, and it's gonna stay with him.

239
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:57,039
Sammy started to leave when the new interim acting general

240
00:13:57,120 --> 00:14:02,840
manager of SmackDown walked out at Pierce has assumed the position.

241
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:06,360
Because Gunther and Nick all this, they got into a

242
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:09,639
little tiff after Night of Champions on Saturday. They had

243
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:13,799
to be separated, and so Gunther was sent home. Nick All,

244
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:16,399
this was sent home and we were told that he

245
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:19,840
was placed on administrative leave and that in his absence

246
00:14:19,879 --> 00:14:23,279
for the time being, Adam Pierce will assume the GM

247
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:27,679
responsibilities for both Raw and SmackDown, which should be easy

248
00:14:27,799 --> 00:14:30,039
enough to do. I mean, look, we've had presidents before

249
00:14:30,879 --> 00:14:33,360
that have run everything and they did just fine. The

250
00:14:33,559 --> 00:14:39,159
esteem Jack Tunney, Guerrilla, mon Soon, Rowdy, Roddy Piper, all

251
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:45,039
of these men have run WWE. They didn't just run Superstars,

252
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:47,600
they didn't just run Wrestling Challenge. They didn't just run

253
00:14:47,639 --> 00:14:50,480
Monday Night Raw. They ran the whole thing. I think

254
00:14:50,519 --> 00:14:53,600
Adam Pierce will be okay. What he does on SmackDown

255
00:14:53,639 --> 00:14:55,919
is largely the exact same thing he does on Raw.

256
00:14:56,200 --> 00:15:00,360
We constantly have people crossing over from Raw to SmackDown

257
00:15:00,399 --> 00:15:03,559
to Raw. What difference does it make. It's just one

258
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:08,240
big giant show. Anyway, this is easy. So he walked

259
00:15:08,279 --> 00:15:11,799
out there and he said his first order of business

260
00:15:11,879 --> 00:15:16,080
is to find Sammy's next challenger. And Sammy wondered if

261
00:15:16,159 --> 00:15:19,120
as the champion, he has any saying who that first

262
00:15:19,159 --> 00:15:24,039
challenger is going to be at SummerSlam, and he said, uh,

263
00:15:24,879 --> 00:15:29,840
I didn't say anything about Summer Slim So No. Sammy,

264
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:34,200
as it turns out, is going to defend his championship

265
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:39,840
on Raw this coming Monday. Raw is in Chicago and

266
00:15:39,919 --> 00:15:42,480
Sammy will have his first defense of the WWE title.

267
00:15:42,639 --> 00:15:49,200
All got fucked up up. There goes the tree, There

268
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:54,679
goes fuck that tree. Yeah, I knew that was coming.

269
00:15:55,799 --> 00:15:59,399
Hey Brandon Proctor, thank you brother. He is destroying the tree.

270
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:05,480
How we are going to decide the challenger for Sammy's

271
00:16:05,519 --> 00:16:07,879
championship is very simple. In the main event of this

272
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:10,919
show tonight, it will be Cody Rhodes going one on

273
00:16:10,919 --> 00:16:14,000
one with Jay Usso and the winner will get Sammy

274
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:17,879
on Monday. So Sammy was not pleased about this development,

275
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:21,000
and neither am I because I know exactly where this

276
00:16:21,039 --> 00:16:22,879
is headed, and I know all of you know exactly

277
00:16:22,919 --> 00:16:26,720
where this is headed. First of all, in this segment here, Sammy,

278
00:16:26,759 --> 00:16:29,840
he was straddling that line here between heel and Babyface.

279
00:16:30,039 --> 00:16:32,480
He got a decent amount of cheers, you know, coming

280
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:35,919
out his first night as champion came out. He's thanking

281
00:16:35,919 --> 00:16:37,759
the fans from the bottom of his heart. Thank you

282
00:16:37,919 --> 00:16:40,519
very much, all my rider Die fans. You know he's

283
00:16:40,559 --> 00:16:45,080
been doing this, you know, tweeter thing of late trending

284
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:48,759
more towards Heal than face, but still kind of straddling

285
00:16:48,799 --> 00:16:50,519
that line. So that's what he was doing here. In

286
00:16:50,559 --> 00:16:53,399
this segment Cody came out. Cody's reaction was more mixed.

287
00:16:54,519 --> 00:16:57,480
Wasn't really overwhelmingly positive or negative one way or the other.

288
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:02,440
If I had to choose between a match this Monday

289
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:06,799
between Cody Rhoads and Sammy's Ain or Sammy's Ain and

290
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:11,160
Jay Usso in this circumstance, I wouldn't have said this

291
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:15,839
about SummerSlam, But in this circumstance, I would go with

292
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:18,359
Jay and Sammy. And the reason I would go with

293
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:20,920
Jay and Sammy is because Jay Usso has no fucking

294
00:17:21,039 --> 00:17:28,640
shot at winning the championship, nor did he before. Cody,

295
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:32,200
on the other hand, is the favorite going into that

296
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:35,759
match on Monday. I would actually be quite surprised if

297
00:17:35,799 --> 00:17:38,240
Cody Rhods does not leave Chicago on Monday night as

298
00:17:38,279 --> 00:17:41,640
the new WWE champion. So at least if we had

299
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:45,640
Jay and Sammy, I wouldn't worry nearly as much in

300
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:49,319
this case. If you're a Sammy's Ain fan, you have

301
00:17:50,319 --> 00:17:52,960
very good reason to be worried. About how this is

302
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:57,599
going to turn out on Monday. But I'm a lot

303
00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:00,000
more sure about Cody in this spot than I am.

304
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:04,039
I'm Jay you. So, now look, I made the comparison

305
00:18:04,079 --> 00:18:06,640
previously that they're going to do to Sammy what they

306
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:10,440
did to Christian fifteen years ago. Now, at least with

307
00:18:10,519 --> 00:18:12,720
Christian or Randy Orton, we ended up with a really

308
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:16,200
great summer program out of it. They had some really

309
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:18,559
great matches, They flip flopped the belt back and forth

310
00:18:18,599 --> 00:18:21,799
a few times. They paid it off at SummerSlam. And

311
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:23,960
so I'm not going to say, even if Sammy does

312
00:18:24,039 --> 00:18:26,599
lose the championship this soon, that he's going to be

313
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:29,000
out of the main event scene and that's it. You know,

314
00:18:29,039 --> 00:18:31,680
He's kind of back down to the mid card and

315
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:34,279
that's the end of Sammy challenging for the title. But

316
00:18:34,319 --> 00:18:39,160
it probably is. I don't see him following Christian's same

317
00:18:39,319 --> 00:18:41,799
path where he flip flops the belt back and forth,

318
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:44,160
and you know, I don't see it. I don't have

319
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:47,720
that same kind of faith that that's what would happen here.

320
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:51,359
But it feels like we are headed for a very

321
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:55,880
christian Esque moment come Monday night, at least in the

322
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:58,119
case of Sammy, he will have held the championship for

323
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:02,039
longer than Christian did Christian Christian had the title technically

324
00:19:02,039 --> 00:19:04,319
for forty eight hours, even though that smack that where

325
00:19:04,319 --> 00:19:06,519
he lost it didn't air for a few days until

326
00:19:06,559 --> 00:19:09,799
after that. But it feels very much like that's exactly

327
00:19:09,839 --> 00:19:11,960
where we're headed. And that's assuming, of course, Cody Rhodes

328
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:13,759
is the one who is going to ra on Monday night.

329
00:19:14,079 --> 00:19:16,240
I won't give it away yet. We haven't gotten to

330
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:18,000
the main event yet. We'll talk about that a little

331
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:23,759
bit later. Let's go on with the rest of this show. Here. Oh,

332
00:19:23,839 --> 00:19:28,359
she's coming up later, Venom Katatsu, you've jumped the gun.

333
00:19:28,519 --> 00:19:31,720
She's coming up a little bit later on. You almost

334
00:19:31,759 --> 00:19:40,960
timed it right. Did I not make myself clear death side?

335
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:44,559
Apparently I did not, thank you to the both of you.

336
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:48,880
Longer than Cain. Well, yes, it is longer than Cain.

337
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:52,000
Cain had it for twenty four hours. I suppose it

338
00:19:52,039 --> 00:19:56,640
could be worse, could be a lot worse. He could

339
00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:58,559
have lost it the same night if they had a

340
00:19:58,599 --> 00:20:01,680
money in the bank. Breave case flow around. Still, he

341
00:20:01,759 --> 00:20:04,680
may have been champion for three minutes. It could always

342
00:20:04,759 --> 00:20:09,440
be Worse Michael Cole. Speaking of Worse Michael Cole and

343
00:20:09,519 --> 00:20:13,400
Corey Graves. They checked in at the desk and pitched

344
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:16,279
it over to Kathy Kelly, who interviewed Charlotte Flair in

345
00:20:16,319 --> 00:20:20,079
the back and Kathy asked her, why did you interfere

346
00:20:20,079 --> 00:20:24,200
in Jade's US title match a Night of Champions. Charlotte

347
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:27,160
said that she just returned the favor after Jade got

348
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:29,880
involved in her business, which is true. I mean, hey,

349
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:34,480
what one good turn deserves another, right. Jade arguably cost

350
00:20:34,559 --> 00:20:37,680
her a spot in the Queen of the Ring tournament

351
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:41,119
because of the bad knee, and so Charlotte flew halfway

352
00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:44,240
across the world just to get revenge, because revenge is

353
00:20:44,279 --> 00:20:47,920
the greatest motivator of all that in anger, they are

354
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:51,799
great motivators. She got on a plane, I don't even

355
00:20:51,799 --> 00:20:53,720
know how many hours that it was at fourteen hours,

356
00:20:53,759 --> 00:20:56,759
whatever it is. She flew all the way to Riod

357
00:20:56,839 --> 00:21:00,279
just to whack Jade in the head with the US tie,

358
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,039
and so she cost her her shot to be champions.

359
00:21:04,039 --> 00:21:08,400
So now they're even. Alexa Bliss showed up. She didn't

360
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:10,720
seem very happy because she said it would have been

361
00:21:10,799 --> 00:21:12,680
nice to get a heads up that you were actually

362
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:16,759
going to be at Knight of Champions. Charlotte talked about

363
00:21:16,799 --> 00:21:20,920
Alexa teaming up with Tiffany Stratton without informing her, So

364
00:21:21,079 --> 00:21:24,480
there is trouble. There's trouble here between these two people.

365
00:21:25,599 --> 00:21:31,519
There's trouble in paradise. This led into Charlotte Tiffany, so

366
00:21:31,599 --> 00:21:33,559
she just did it again. She's teaming up with Tiffany

367
00:21:33,599 --> 00:21:41,000
and Chelsea Green against Jade, Cargill, Meechen and Beefab. Charlotte

368
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:44,160
tagged in a little bit deeper into the match. She

369
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:46,680
was having her away with the batties until Jade put

370
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:49,960
her down took control ahead of a commercial break. After

371
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:53,000
the commercial and Beaching and Bfab they were double teaming Charlotte,

372
00:21:53,079 --> 00:21:55,519
Jade tagged in. She hit her fall away slam into

373
00:21:55,519 --> 00:21:58,279
the kip up that she does. She missed a charge

374
00:21:58,279 --> 00:22:00,359
into the corner though, that allowed Charlotte to get the

375
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:04,119
tag to Chelsea, who hit a rough rider. Befab, though

376
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:06,640
was able to break up the pin attempt, so things

377
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:10,480
broke down. Chelsea avoided Jade's pump kick her unpretty. Her

378
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:14,960
attempt got reversed into a Jaded attempt that Chelsea then

379
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:18,799
turned into a roll up bfab ran distraction on the apron,

380
00:22:18,839 --> 00:22:21,480
but she got punched in the face knocked off the apron,

381
00:22:21,519 --> 00:22:24,599
but that momentary distraction was all that Jade needed to

382
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:27,599
sneak up behind Chelsea, and this time she managed to

383
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:31,480
hit Jaded and she pinned her to put it away.

384
00:22:32,759 --> 00:22:36,200
So they're still keeping Jade strong as they prepare for

385
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:39,400
the inevitable showdown at SummerSlam, which is still not official yet,

386
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:41,319
but you know it's coming. It's going to be Charlotte

387
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:44,720
Flair one on one with Jade Cargill. It is getting

388
00:22:44,799 --> 00:22:49,839
very tiring seeing these same combinations every single week, and

389
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:52,680
you know, you look back sort of in the history

390
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:56,680
of this company and in the history of wrestling. There

391
00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:59,319
are people who are you know, quote unquote married to

392
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:03,519
each other on television who work together a lot. Right,

393
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:07,440
These programs that we see and they stretch out over

394
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:12,640
a period of weeks, sometimes months, with the bloodline years.

395
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:16,960
If it's good though, if you got people who were

396
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:19,599
super over, or if you have a story that's really

397
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:23,039
super compelling and interesting, you can excuse it. Right. There

398
00:23:23,039 --> 00:23:26,480
are certain people who I'm sure you would be you

399
00:23:26,519 --> 00:23:30,039
would consider your favorites. I would consider my favorites, and

400
00:23:30,279 --> 00:23:32,200
I wouldn't mind seeing them work a three or four

401
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:34,680
month program and go back and forth a few times. Right,

402
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:38,000
That sounds like fun. Unfortunately, fun is not a word

403
00:23:38,039 --> 00:23:40,519
I associate with this show, because this show is generally

404
00:23:40,559 --> 00:23:45,000
fucking terrible. And I mean it's certainly not a case

405
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:47,319
where everybody on the show is super over. Very few

406
00:23:47,319 --> 00:23:49,319
people on this show are what I would consider to

407
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:53,640
be super over. And get their programmed together for weeks

408
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:55,960
and weeks and weeks and weeks and sometimes months on end,

409
00:23:56,079 --> 00:23:58,480
and it just gets tiresome. You see the same combinations

410
00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:00,400
over and over again. It wasn't that good of the beginning,

411
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:03,720
it's not that good now all to try to get

412
00:24:03,759 --> 00:24:06,519
to whatever the ultimate goal is here, and the ultimate

413
00:24:06,519 --> 00:24:09,279
goal here is Charlotte and Jade, and that's a big

414
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:11,160
enough match for them to do as Summer Slim. But

415
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:13,319
in the meantime, we have all these weeks of television

416
00:24:13,319 --> 00:24:17,160
where we're seeing the same combination of Charlotte and Tiffany

417
00:24:17,319 --> 00:24:20,680
and the Baddies and Jade and Meechen and BFAB and

418
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:25,920
singles matches and tag matches and trios matches, and I

419
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,160
just feel like it's this infinite loop, and it's just

420
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:33,640
not that interesting. It's just not happy to see Chelsea

421
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:37,799
green Though getting more reps in the ring as a babyface.

422
00:24:38,839 --> 00:24:41,079
You know, that's nice to see she took the loss

423
00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:43,359
again here. You would think that at some point Tiffany

424
00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:45,920
Stratton might get tired of seeing her take the l's

425
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:49,119
and who knows, maybe that leads to a heel turn

426
00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:53,000
for Tiffany. We could end up getting that. I don't

427
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:55,119
know now that they want to turn Tiffany heel though

428
00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:59,480
before they eventually feud her with Blake Monroe. So I

429
00:24:59,519 --> 00:25:02,799
don't know that the end goal here is for Chelsea

430
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:07,039
and Tiffany to have a program together and with Tiffany

431
00:25:07,079 --> 00:25:10,319
maybe is the heel and Chelsea is the baby face.

432
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:13,359
I thought maybe that was potentially the plan before, but

433
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:15,079
now I'm not sure, because I'm sure they're going to

434
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:18,039
want Blake and Tiffany to work together. Blake is the heel,

435
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:24,720
I'm not sure where that leaves Chelsea. Backstage, Adam Pierce

436
00:25:24,839 --> 00:25:27,559
was confronted by Sammy Zain, who was very upset that

437
00:25:27,599 --> 00:25:29,359
he had to defend his title on Monday. He was

438
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:32,000
very upset that he had to go to work on Monday.

439
00:25:32,599 --> 00:25:35,079
Pierce said that Sammy should be honored that he is

440
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:40,119
defending on a great show such as Monday Night Raw,

441
00:25:41,079 --> 00:25:43,359
and maybe he would even invite some SmackDown stars to

442
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:46,880
Chicago to make it a real super show. He left

443
00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:52,039
Samby was about to smack another water bottle when he

444
00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:57,960
spotted Johnny gargano planking. He smacked the water bottle anyway,

445
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:00,400
went over to Johnny. He was so happy, happy to

446
00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:03,759
tell Johnny that he did it, he won the championship.

447
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:07,799
And then he asked Candice Lay to take a selfie,

448
00:26:08,759 --> 00:26:10,559
although I guess if she's taking it, it's not really

449
00:26:10,599 --> 00:26:12,359
a selfie, but she he wanted her to take a

450
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:17,359
photo of him and Johnny. I have to assume maybe

451
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:20,440
I'm being naive here, maybe I'm giving them a little

452
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:23,680
too much credit. I have to assume that they this

453
00:26:23,839 --> 00:26:28,920
is leading somewhere. They have something in mind for where

454
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:33,400
this is going with Sammy and Johnny, gargano I said.

455
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:36,119
Coming out of a night of champions on Saturday actually

456
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:39,319
brought up gargano I said, well, where does that go? Right?

457
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:44,079
It's a minor part of this character makeover that Sammy

458
00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:47,640
has gone through. Is Johnny finally going to wake up.

459
00:26:48,039 --> 00:26:50,359
Is he going to be a lackey for Sammy? Is

460
00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:52,960
that going to be the role for him? Usually Sammy

461
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:55,640
would be the lackey. Maybe Samue'll have his own lackey.

462
00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:58,839
You'll be Johnny Gargano. Johnny Gargano was still planking. Nothing

463
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:03,160
has changed. M He won the championship on Saturday, almost

464
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:06,640
a week ago. Now, nothing has changed. Johnny Gargana was

465
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:09,599
flying himself around the country and he is laying on

466
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:13,359
top of boxes. I don't remember when this started. He

467
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:18,319
has been doing this literally for months, and at first

468
00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:20,160
I can't even say, well, at first it was kind

469
00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:22,839
of funny, Like, no, it was never really all that funny.

470
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:25,160
It was stupid when they started it. It's even dumber

471
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:27,680
now because I never would have expected that fucking three

472
00:27:27,759 --> 00:27:29,880
or four months later we would still be doing this shit.

473
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:34,000
And I'm not really sure. Is he like the mascot

474
00:27:34,079 --> 00:27:40,200
of SmackDown. I have to imagine that there is some

475
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:43,920
sort of end goal here to him being buried in

476
00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:48,000
this way, because that's what's happening here. You know, What's

477
00:27:48,039 --> 00:27:50,440
the one thing that Johnny Gargana was really good at

478
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:55,640
other than laying around, literally laying around every Week Wrestling.

479
00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:59,240
We saw it an NXT. We have yet to see

480
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:02,920
that version of Jonny Gargano on the main roster. But

481
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:04,920
I have to remind myself also, like all those great

482
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:07,640
Johnny Gargano Black and Gold matches and this stuff with

483
00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:10,720
Shampa and everybody else he work with, it's almost a

484
00:28:10,759 --> 00:28:14,039
decade ago now, and I don't know that we're ever

485
00:28:14,079 --> 00:28:17,680
going to see that Johnny Gargano ever. Again. He's the

486
00:28:17,759 --> 00:28:20,720
thing with him is he has never been over on

487
00:28:20,759 --> 00:28:23,839
the main roster. Even as a fan of his work,

488
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:26,480
I can sit here and tell you that it's always

489
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:28,720
been a struggle for him when he's out there, either

490
00:28:28,759 --> 00:28:30,920
in a singles or a tag, to get any sort

491
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:35,720
of real meaningful response from an audience. And maybe they

492
00:28:35,759 --> 00:28:38,240
looked at this and they thought, because of that, we

493
00:28:38,359 --> 00:28:40,720
have to go in a different way and this will

494
00:28:40,759 --> 00:28:43,599
be something entertaining and maybe he can get over in

495
00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:47,839
this kind of goofball, cornball type of way. But they're

496
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:52,519
not doing anything. He's literally laying around doing nothing every

497
00:28:52,599 --> 00:28:54,680
single week, and I'm just like, what is the point

498
00:28:54,720 --> 00:29:02,680
of this. Months of this, months of this, I don't

499
00:29:02,759 --> 00:29:06,000
understand for this. It's just it's it's beyond ludicrous at

500
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:11,519
this point, what is the point of this? Are they

501
00:29:11,559 --> 00:29:13,839
just running down the clock on his contract? Like I

502
00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:22,799
don't understand. We had Ray Phoenix defending his Triple A

503
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:29,759
Cruiserweight Championship against the Triple A Latin American champion, Elijo

504
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:35,519
del Vikingou. They are really in full push Triple A

505
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:37,519
mode right now. We had a battle here between two

506
00:29:37,599 --> 00:29:42,359
champions from Triple AU. VI Kingo got the jobber entrance

507
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:45,119
for this Phoenix. He missed a spin kick, but he

508
00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:47,920
caught the Kingo with the lethal injection for a two count.

509
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:51,759
But Kingo's cell job on this, by the way, was tremendous.

510
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:54,759
Phoenix went for a baseball slide, but he got trapped

511
00:29:54,759 --> 00:29:57,480
in the apron skirt by the Kingo, who caught him

512
00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:00,240
with a kick and then a springboard moon salt to

513
00:30:00,279 --> 00:30:02,880
the floor. That was ahead of the commercial break, so

514
00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:05,599
they took a break. They were gone for like four minutes.

515
00:30:07,119 --> 00:30:11,000
This was an eight minute match. VI Kingo later hit

516
00:30:11,039 --> 00:30:15,480
Phoenix with a very impressive six point thirty raana off

517
00:30:15,519 --> 00:30:17,960
the top only for two. They ended up on the

518
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:20,440
top rope. VI king Goo dropped Phoenix with an avalanche

519
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:23,799
poison Raana only for a near fall. VI Kingo then

520
00:30:23,799 --> 00:30:26,519
missed with the springboard four fifty that gave Phoenix the

521
00:30:26,559 --> 00:30:31,559
opening to hit the Mexican Musclebuster, and he was able

522
00:30:31,599 --> 00:30:35,839
to get the pin to retain the championship. Very much

523
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:39,039
like the match that Phoenix had with Nathan Fraser, this

524
00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:41,720
was a fun sprint. It had more energy than just

525
00:30:41,759 --> 00:30:44,480
about everything else I would say on this show any

526
00:30:44,519 --> 00:30:48,640
given week. But they got eight minutes. They tried to

527
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:50,559
make the most of the eight minutes that they were getting.

528
00:30:50,599 --> 00:30:52,119
To be honest with you, if this show was still

529
00:30:52,119 --> 00:30:54,039
three hours like it was last week, I don't think

530
00:30:54,039 --> 00:30:56,079
they would have gotten much more than eight minutes. Even then,

531
00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:58,599
they got eight minutes. The problem is they took a

532
00:30:58,599 --> 00:31:00,559
commercial in the middle of the match, so really it

533
00:31:00,559 --> 00:31:03,599
was a four minute match, and they tried to pack

534
00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:05,440
what they could in four minutes. But what the fuck

535
00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:08,839
are you going to do in four minutes? What we got, though,

536
00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:12,319
I thought was fun, even though we missed half the match. Now,

537
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:17,079
unfortunately the Kingo, who was the only Triple A star

538
00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:23,960
under contract to WWE, he went to NXT on Tuesday,

539
00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:26,839
and I believe he was supposed to be wrestling is

540
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:29,279
it e K Prosper I believe his name is. He

541
00:31:29,279 --> 00:31:32,119
was supposed to wrestle on that show on Tuesday, and

542
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:36,240
evidently I am left to assume that they were rehearsing spots.

543
00:31:36,559 --> 00:31:38,799
I don't think he was just walking on by. He

544
00:31:38,839 --> 00:31:40,920
probably was in the ring with him before the show.

545
00:31:41,359 --> 00:31:43,799
They were working out spots for their match. I would

546
00:31:43,839 --> 00:31:48,119
assume he got hurt. VI Kingo got hurt and he

547
00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:51,039
was not able to wrestle on Tuesday. That's why they

548
00:31:51,079 --> 00:31:53,240
shot that angle in the back where he was attacked

549
00:31:53,279 --> 00:31:55,440
I think by Keanu Carver, and that took him out

550
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:58,680
of the match. He injured his knee and then he

551
00:31:58,759 --> 00:32:01,319
is still swollen pretty bad. I don't know if he's

552
00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:06,000
already undergone an MRI, if they're waiting for the swelling

553
00:32:06,039 --> 00:32:07,880
to go down and then he's gonna have an MRI.

554
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:11,200
But the fact that he even needs an MRI on

555
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:15,640
his knee is not good. There is some sort of injury.

556
00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:18,759
Hopefully it's not too serious, even though it sounds serious.

557
00:32:19,599 --> 00:32:24,400
Uh so that's pretty fucking terrible, So all the best

558
00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:26,359
of it can go. I mean, he's had knee issues before,

559
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:28,279
but this just sounds like a freak accident. You know,

560
00:32:28,279 --> 00:32:31,279
they were going over stuff before the show. They weren't

561
00:32:31,279 --> 00:32:35,240
even on the air, and he got hurt. That's what

562
00:32:35,319 --> 00:32:42,880
happens sometimes. Kathy Kelly interviewed Julia backstage about getting attacked

563
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:45,200
by Blake Monroe after her win last week over a

564
00:32:45,319 --> 00:32:48,720
Keana James. Julia said that she doesn't back down from

565
00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:51,920
a fight. She said, if Blake stops being a coward,

566
00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:59,119
she'll fight her anytime, anywhere. So Keana James showed up,

567
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:02,160
she did a little golf clap. She said that Julia

568
00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:04,319
only got lucky in their match. All of a sudden,

569
00:33:04,359 --> 00:33:08,039
Blake Monroe she shows up out of nowhere and she

570
00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:11,799
attacks Julia from behind. She threw her heart into a

571
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:16,759
nearby production case. And then Keana is trying to gloat

572
00:33:17,279 --> 00:33:21,079
on Julia like haha, except Blake then grabbed her and

573
00:33:21,119 --> 00:33:24,000
threw her into the equipment case and so both ladies

574
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:27,640
were down and at that point Blake walked off. That

575
00:33:27,799 --> 00:33:32,559
was That was Blake Monroe's role on SmackDown tonight. So

576
00:33:32,599 --> 00:33:35,519
I don't know if this is leading to it individual

577
00:33:35,599 --> 00:33:38,680
singles matches with Blake and Keana, Blake and Julia. If

578
00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:39,920
you're going to put all three of them in the

579
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:42,480
ring together. I don't know. Obviously, we're going to get

580
00:33:42,559 --> 00:33:46,119
Julia in Blake at some point, maybe we get her

581
00:33:46,119 --> 00:33:52,079
and Keana. First, they recapped the Roman Reigns seth Rollins

582
00:33:52,079 --> 00:33:56,359
segment that closed Raw on Monday night to set up

583
00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:59,720
their championship match at SummerSlam, and then it was to

584
00:33:59,759 --> 00:34:04,240
the live I put that in air quotes since this

585
00:34:04,359 --> 00:34:07,480
show was not live, but we'll pretend that it is

586
00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:11,559
with Jacob fa TWU and Jimmy Usso Jacob fa Tu

587
00:34:11,639 --> 00:34:14,599
stood there. He did not utter a single word on

588
00:34:14,639 --> 00:34:18,280
this show, but he was there. Jimmy said, the OTC

589
00:34:18,559 --> 00:34:21,840
calls the play, we gonna run it, right, I guess

590
00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:24,760
we picked up in the middle of their conversation. All

591
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:28,039
of a sudden, Royce Key shows up and he sees Jacob.

592
00:34:28,159 --> 00:34:30,599
Now before Jacob left SmackDown to go to Raw. If

593
00:34:30,639 --> 00:34:32,480
you remember, we got a couple of segments in the

594
00:34:32,519 --> 00:34:35,159
back where they were all buddy buddy and they were

595
00:34:35,159 --> 00:34:37,719
talking about how they have history together and they go

596
00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:41,039
back a ways, right, they go back a long ways.

597
00:34:41,079 --> 00:34:44,920
They're both I think from the West Coast, and so

598
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:49,079
Keys walks in, he sees Jacob and he said, let

599
00:34:49,119 --> 00:34:53,079
me guess. I guess Roman tells Jacob. Now, it was

600
00:34:53,079 --> 00:34:54,800
hard for me to understand what he was saying. Here.

601
00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:58,320
I think he said, Roman tells Jacob who's pot this is?

602
00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:01,480
Now they say pot he is a place? What does

603
00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:04,760
that even mean? I don't know, but he said that

604
00:35:07,079 --> 00:35:10,800
I don't know whose pot is this? I don't know.

605
00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:13,920
You tell me, Jimmy said, hold up. The OTC sent

606
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:17,360
them on a mission to find Solo. Now, can you

607
00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:20,280
help us find him? Because if you can't, we're just

608
00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:26,159
going to handle our family business. He said. Family. Blood

609
00:35:26,159 --> 00:35:30,519
don't make you family. Loyalty makes you family. He told

610
00:35:30,599 --> 00:35:33,679
Jacob he's been his day one for the last fourteen years.

611
00:35:33,679 --> 00:35:36,199
He's been loyal to him, So guess what. As far

612
00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:40,599
as he's concerned, he is Jacob's family. Jimmy took his

613
00:35:40,679 --> 00:35:44,639
glasses off. He said, not no more right, Jacob off,

614
00:35:44,679 --> 00:35:48,840
goes Jimmy, and then Jacob followed suit. Two things here,

615
00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:53,719
Number one, I just realized that these two schmucks showed

616
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:56,159
up on the show here on a mission to find

617
00:35:56,199 --> 00:36:01,039
Solo Socoa, and they apparently did fulfill their mission. We

618
00:36:01,039 --> 00:36:02,480
didn't see them again for the rest of the show.

619
00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:06,039
We didn't see Solo, we didn't see Jimmy again, we

620
00:36:06,039 --> 00:36:09,079
didn't see Jacob again. So them being on the show

621
00:36:09,159 --> 00:36:12,840
ended up being completely pointless other than them wanting to

622
00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:16,280
get this interaction that that was the real point of it,

623
00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:18,840
to get this interaction with Roy's Keys, and the reason being.

624
00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:20,880
I think what we're looking at for Summerslim is going

625
00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:23,440
to be a six man tag. I think what we're

626
00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:28,480
gonna get is the USOS teaming up with Jacob Fatu

627
00:36:28,639 --> 00:36:33,559
to take on Solo's Sukoa La Night and Royce Keys,

628
00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:37,039
the two men that Solo has been trying to recruit

629
00:36:37,079 --> 00:36:41,119
now for weeks, and they've turned him down every single time.

630
00:36:41,559 --> 00:36:45,760
He doesn't have his MFTs anymore. Eventually, these two were

631
00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:48,199
gonna come around and we're gonna get a six man

632
00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:50,320
tag on that shows. That's what it feels like. This

633
00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:54,480
is all building too. It would be kind of funny though,

634
00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:57,960
if he finally convinces these guys to trust him and

635
00:36:58,119 --> 00:37:00,599
be partners with him, only for Solo to then turn

636
00:37:00,679 --> 00:37:03,719
on them and just side with Roman Reigns in the bloodline. Anyway,

637
00:37:04,039 --> 00:37:10,440
that sounds like something that wwe would do. Next up,

638
00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:14,400
we got the United States champion Trick Williams out to

639
00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:19,039
the ring with Lil Yachty before they could say boo

640
00:37:19,599 --> 00:37:22,519
the former United States champion Trick Williams. He made his

641
00:37:22,559 --> 00:37:25,360
way out to the ring or Trick Williams. Carmelo Hayes

642
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:28,239
made his way out to the ring to join them.

643
00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:31,239
Melo noted that Ricky Saines couldn't get the job done

644
00:37:31,239 --> 00:37:33,760
on Saturday and it was time to run things back

645
00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:37,800
with him and Trick pointed out that Trick won't answer him.

646
00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:40,000
He said, he'll give Trick his flowers. The title looks

647
00:37:40,039 --> 00:37:42,599
great on him and the crowd loves him, but that's

648
00:37:42,639 --> 00:37:45,960
only because Mello hasn't taken it from him yet. Melo

649
00:37:46,079 --> 00:37:50,199
said that he made the championship into a championship, Trick

650
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:53,679
made the title into an accessory. He said that if

651
00:37:53,679 --> 00:37:55,840
Trick and Yachty want a title, he'll give them a

652
00:37:55,880 --> 00:38:00,679
discount code for a replica on WWE's shop. Mello said

653
00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:03,119
the US title is the workhorse. It's the match of

654
00:38:03,119 --> 00:38:06,119
the night title. Mello said Tricks out there like he's

655
00:38:06,159 --> 00:38:10,360
had too much to eat, so prove him wrong. Mello

656
00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:12,320
asked Trick to put the title on the line against

657
00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:14,920
somebody who knows him better than anybody. He said, Trick

658
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:17,199
may walk the walk and talk to talk with them,

659
00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:20,920
but he has two left feet and a mouthful of

660
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:24,880
marbles when he's in there with him. Not a bad

661
00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:30,079
promo here from Mellow. Not bad now, Yachti spoke, Yaty

662
00:38:30,119 --> 00:38:32,920
spoke more than Trick did. Here said the Trick has

663
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:36,599
been nothing short of pure great and he's making a

664
00:38:36,599 --> 00:38:40,639
short joke now at Carmelo's expense, But Trick has been

665
00:38:40,639 --> 00:38:44,840
nothing short of pure greatness. Yady asked the crowd if

666
00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:48,320
they should give this young small man a match. They

667
00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:53,360
all chanted yes. Yati told Mellow don't blow a blood vessel.

668
00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:55,920
He said Mellow could have his match next week, but

669
00:38:56,079 --> 00:39:00,159
not for the title. Said titles are earned and not given.

670
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:02,920
He's making the match so that he can get Trick

671
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:06,320
his reps. And Yadi said that when things get tricky,

672
00:39:06,440 --> 00:39:09,239
Mellow will have no excuses as to why he can't

673
00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:12,000
get the job done. So Trick finally spoke for himself,

674
00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:14,400
and he said that he knows Mellow like the back

675
00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:18,639
of his hand, and then he backhanded him. He bitch

676
00:39:18,679 --> 00:39:23,440
slapped him, and down goes Carmelo. Hayes, Trick and YACHTI.

677
00:39:23,519 --> 00:39:26,440
They exited. They were dapping it up outside when Mello

678
00:39:26,559 --> 00:39:28,559
hit a flip dive out over the top rope on

679
00:39:28,639 --> 00:39:31,519
to Trick to take him out. So we are getting

680
00:39:31,519 --> 00:39:34,920
the match next week. It will be non titled between

681
00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:37,719
these two men, which is fine because I think ultimately

682
00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:39,760
you do the title match at SummerSlam. I mean, look,

683
00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:41,800
they could always do it as Saturday Night's main event,

684
00:39:42,559 --> 00:39:44,559
but I think this is a Summer Slim match because

685
00:39:44,559 --> 00:39:48,239
I don't know, there's not enough time to really build

686
00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:51,559
up another program for Trick on that show. If he's

687
00:39:51,599 --> 00:39:53,639
going to defend, it's going to be against either Mello

688
00:39:54,079 --> 00:39:56,920
or Mellow and Ricky Saints. It's gonna be one of

689
00:39:56,920 --> 00:39:59,400
those two matches. I do have to say this. I

690
00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:05,199
want to pay a compliment here to Lil YACHTI because

691
00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:07,920
he came in around the time they were doing Celebrity

692
00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:10,480
Mania in this company, and we had Pat McAfee and

693
00:40:10,519 --> 00:40:12,599
we had Jelly Roll and it was like and then

694
00:40:12,599 --> 00:40:14,400
all of a sudden, Lil YACHTI is out there and

695
00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:18,079
I'm like, this is just celebrity overload here, this is ridiculous.

696
00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:24,119
And Pat McAfee went away, Jelly Roll went away. Lil

697
00:40:24,199 --> 00:40:27,519
Yachti state he signed a deal to basically be full

698
00:40:27,519 --> 00:40:30,599
time for them. Now he is a full time manager

699
00:40:31,039 --> 00:40:34,920
in WWA. You'll notice tonight here on this show, maybe

700
00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:37,199
more than any other time that we've seen him so far,

701
00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:40,280
he did most of the talking for Trick. And it's

702
00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:44,199
not like Trick needs help on the mic, so he's

703
00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:47,880
out there doing the talking for him. Yachti does a

704
00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:51,719
really good job in this role. He knows what he

705
00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:55,239
needs to do when he's out there, he speaks on

706
00:40:55,320 --> 00:40:58,079
behalf of Trick. Is almost like he's his agent or something.

707
00:40:58,119 --> 00:41:00,639
He makes all the decisions, he signs the contract, he

708
00:41:00,679 --> 00:41:03,480
gets the deals done, and I think they make for

709
00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:06,639
a good combo. They're in a weird place right now,

710
00:41:07,159 --> 00:41:11,159
where like even here in this segment, they were kind

711
00:41:11,199 --> 00:41:14,599
of more heelish, and we've seen that a few times recently.

712
00:41:14,639 --> 00:41:16,480
The fans still love to chant you know, whoop that

713
00:41:16,559 --> 00:41:21,199
Trick when Trick comes out. He's still booked as a babyface.

714
00:41:21,639 --> 00:41:24,679
I would say, I wonder if they kind of shift

715
00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:28,079
back into more of the heel direction, Like how do

716
00:41:28,119 --> 00:41:30,440
the fans take to Carmelo Hayes if they're going to

717
00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:32,960
play this out, let's say, until summer slim. Are the

718
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:35,440
fans going to be more behind mellow or are they

719
00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:38,280
going to be behind trick because they just think he's cool.

720
00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:40,840
That was the issue earlier this year. He was supposed

721
00:41:40,840 --> 00:41:43,159
to be a heel, and the fans just organically started

722
00:41:43,199 --> 00:41:46,159
cheering him because he was cool. He was the new

723
00:41:46,239 --> 00:41:49,880
face on the brand. He's super confident. He's coming out

724
00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:53,599
there with his you know, white fur coats and everything.

725
00:41:54,239 --> 00:41:56,960
He's got the catchy phrases when he's on the mic.

726
00:41:57,719 --> 00:42:01,039
But now it's like, Okay, there's got to be more

727
00:42:01,079 --> 00:42:03,599
to it than that. They added Yati to the act.

728
00:42:04,519 --> 00:42:06,599
Would it be better for them to trend more in

729
00:42:06,639 --> 00:42:10,559
the heel direction or should they just kind of stay

730
00:42:10,599 --> 00:42:13,719
the course and run the risk of kind of burning

731
00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:16,960
the act out because it almost kind of feels like

732
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:19,639
it's already kind of burning itself out. This is where

733
00:42:19,639 --> 00:42:21,280
I say it's a little risky. You got to really

734
00:42:21,280 --> 00:42:23,360
be careful, I think, with where you go with this now,

735
00:42:24,159 --> 00:42:26,400
and you don't want to go too far into babyface

736
00:42:26,519 --> 00:42:31,559
territory because then he's not cool anymore. So I'm curious

737
00:42:31,559 --> 00:42:35,639
to see how this evolves in the weeks to come

738
00:42:36,679 --> 00:42:40,719
if he does take more of a heel approach, which

739
00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:42,000
I think might be the better way to go. You

740
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:44,119
don't want to force anything, but just kind of naturally

741
00:42:44,199 --> 00:42:50,400
let it kind of run its course. So then it

742
00:42:50,480 --> 00:42:55,679
was backstage two dan Housen's lair with the Miz and

743
00:42:55,760 --> 00:43:01,840
Kit Wilson still shitting there. You know, they are sitting

744
00:43:01,840 --> 00:43:06,760
there looking very zombified and lobottomized, and it is entirely

745
00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:09,480
possible that they are shitting themselves. We just can't see it.

746
00:43:10,159 --> 00:43:12,440
They may well have, I mean, they were electrocuted, so

747
00:43:12,480 --> 00:43:15,239
they may well have lost all control of their bodily functions.

748
00:43:16,519 --> 00:43:22,440
They were sitting there lobottomized. Matt Cardona showed up. He

749
00:43:22,519 --> 00:43:24,920
told dan Housen he saw what happened on Raw with

750
00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:29,559
the judgment day, and Dan Housen told him not to worry.

751
00:43:30,599 --> 00:43:32,719
He got a match with the guy with the big

752
00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:37,360
head who always follows Dominic Mysterio around. They're gonna have

753
00:43:37,400 --> 00:43:42,599
a match on Saturday Night's main event at Madison Square Guarden.

754
00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:48,119
Cardona told them, Hey, if you need backup, I'm your guy.

755
00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:50,920
Dan Housen told him, I just got off the phone

756
00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:56,599
with my backup, and Cardona questioned this because Dan Housen

757
00:43:56,599 --> 00:43:59,199
when he walked in was talking on one of these

758
00:43:59,280 --> 00:44:03,519
old timey the candlestick phones. It just from like the

759
00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:08,199
Abbott and Costello days, but the phone wasn't connected to anything,

760
00:44:08,559 --> 00:44:11,599
so he was wondering, are you sure about this? And

761
00:44:11,679 --> 00:44:14,480
Dan Housen assured him this person is real. He's from

762
00:44:14,599 --> 00:44:17,480
New York, so he's going to take the train down there.

763
00:44:17,519 --> 00:44:19,280
He's going to explain the whole plan to him. So

764
00:44:19,320 --> 00:44:22,480
there you go. They did all but come out and

765
00:44:22,519 --> 00:44:27,440
tell you that Jalen Brunson is going to be Dan

766
00:44:27,480 --> 00:44:29,920
Housen's backup. It's Saturday Nights made it. It can't be

767
00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:32,880
anybody else. It can be nobody else. It has to

768
00:44:32,880 --> 00:44:36,000
be Jalen Brunson, who is going to be there and

769
00:44:36,119 --> 00:44:38,440
is going to be in Dan Housen's corner for this match.

770
00:44:39,920 --> 00:44:45,239
I am certain of this, So Dan hasn't told Cardona. Look,

771
00:44:45,280 --> 00:44:49,320
while I have you here, you can help finish this experiment.

772
00:44:50,280 --> 00:44:53,079
So he had him twist the knob and all of

773
00:44:53,119 --> 00:44:56,679
a sudden, his machine started smoking and malfunctioning. He said

774
00:44:56,719 --> 00:45:00,519
the judgment, they must have sabotaged his experiment. While mis

775
00:45:00,519 --> 00:45:02,599
and Wilson are sitting there in the background and they

776
00:45:02,639 --> 00:45:07,159
start shaking uncontrollably like something is going wrong here, So

777
00:45:07,960 --> 00:45:11,599
we have to stop here for a moment, and we

778
00:45:11,760 --> 00:45:14,760
have to keep score. For those keeping score, we have

779
00:45:14,840 --> 00:45:20,559
one mute person on this show every single week who

780
00:45:20,800 --> 00:45:25,199
just planks and lays there while his wife watches helplessly.

781
00:45:25,760 --> 00:45:27,840
And then we have a couple of dudes, one of

782
00:45:27,840 --> 00:45:30,039
whom I should point out as a former two time

783
00:45:31,719 --> 00:45:39,360
WWE champion and wrestle Mania headliner, who sits there every week,

784
00:45:39,719 --> 00:45:45,800
also mostly mute, but for the occasional grunt, because these

785
00:45:45,800 --> 00:45:50,159
two men were previously electrocuted weeks ago and never recover.

786
00:45:50,280 --> 00:45:53,079
By the way, the fact that miss is a two

787
00:45:53,199 --> 00:45:56,239
time WWE champion and wrestle Media headliner, I don't want

788
00:45:56,239 --> 00:45:59,199
to hear anybody ever complain about fucking Sammy Zay ever

789
00:45:59,280 --> 00:46:02,800
again the fuck out of here. But these two men

790
00:46:02,840 --> 00:46:05,519
are on the show every single week and they seem

791
00:46:05,599 --> 00:46:07,719
to be in some state of distress here, and nobody

792
00:46:07,760 --> 00:46:12,400
seems terribly concerned about this. Just for those keeping score,

793
00:46:15,199 --> 00:46:24,519
Then we had Bribella, Oh Joy Bribella against Laney Reid

794
00:46:24,960 --> 00:46:31,119
of fatal Influence somebody asked before about the goal. The

795
00:46:31,199 --> 00:46:35,039
goal is three hundred and fifty likes because the wheel.

796
00:46:35,360 --> 00:46:37,719
The wheel is not working tonight, so I set the goal.

797
00:46:38,599 --> 00:46:40,519
So the goal for be the booker is three fifty.

798
00:46:40,639 --> 00:46:42,840
We have a bonus goal going in the chat, which

799
00:46:42,880 --> 00:46:46,000
we're already halfway there. So there's the update for the

800
00:46:46,039 --> 00:46:51,000
people who were wondering. So we got Bribella. Where's my

801
00:46:51,039 --> 00:46:52,840
bre mode here? We got two of them earlier. Now

802
00:46:52,840 --> 00:46:56,599
Bribella shows up and it's silent Bribella against Laney Reid.

803
00:46:56,639 --> 00:47:01,360
Nearly thirty minutes had gone by since the last match

804
00:47:01,400 --> 00:47:04,079
on this show. We finally get a match and it's

805
00:47:04,159 --> 00:47:07,400
Bribella against Laney Reed. Laney got her chance to shine

806
00:47:07,440 --> 00:47:09,440
here a little bit for the first time in a

807
00:47:09,480 --> 00:47:14,280
singles situation. The match wasn't anything special. Bree got the

808
00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:17,840
yeslock applied fallon, Henley tried to get involved. Paige got

809
00:47:17,840 --> 00:47:20,000
into it with her and jac Jane on the floor.

810
00:47:20,119 --> 00:47:22,639
Bree tried to help, but all that did was put

811
00:47:22,719 --> 00:47:24,800
her in the path of a running knee strike by Lane,

812
00:47:25,599 --> 00:47:29,519
who got the pin and picked up the win. Best

813
00:47:29,519 --> 00:47:31,679
thing I can say about this is at least fatal

814
00:47:31,719 --> 00:47:34,960
influence actually got a win because whatever momentum that they

815
00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:37,639
had when they first arrived on the scene got stunted

816
00:47:37,679 --> 00:47:41,480
by back to back losses here to Page and to

817
00:47:41,559 --> 00:47:44,760
the combination of Page and Bribella in non title action.

818
00:47:45,320 --> 00:47:48,079
So finally, Fatal Influence gets one in the win column.

819
00:47:48,119 --> 00:47:50,159
And they have also announced that they are going to

820
00:47:50,199 --> 00:47:52,960
get their rematch. This time it will be for the

821
00:47:52,960 --> 00:47:57,039
Tag Team Championships at Saturday Nights Made Event on July eighteenth.

822
00:47:57,119 --> 00:48:00,719
It will be Paige and Bribella defending their titles against Fallon,

823
00:48:00,760 --> 00:48:03,280
Henley and Laney Reed. Now how we came to them

824
00:48:03,320 --> 00:48:07,039
getting a championship match, I don't know, because, as I said,

825
00:48:07,400 --> 00:48:09,280
the last time they were in the ring together at

826
00:48:09,320 --> 00:48:12,880
a tag match, the champions won in a non title match.

827
00:48:12,920 --> 00:48:14,360
And yet here we are, and they're gonna get a

828
00:48:14,360 --> 00:48:17,079
tag team title match and probably win the belts as

829
00:48:17,119 --> 00:48:21,280
they should on Saturday Night's main event. And here I

830
00:48:21,320 --> 00:48:24,000
thought that earlier in this show, I mean, Lil Yachtie

831
00:48:24,039 --> 00:48:30,360
told me that title matches are earned. Apparently he lied.

832
00:48:32,199 --> 00:48:34,239
Did he not just say that in the previous segment?

833
00:48:36,400 --> 00:48:39,639
Literally at the previous segment he said, tit titles or

834
00:48:39,719 --> 00:48:45,719
title shots? Are earned, they're not given away. Maybe it

835
00:48:45,760 --> 00:48:50,800
only applies to the US title that Trick is holding now.

836
00:48:50,840 --> 00:48:54,000
As far as j C. Jane is concerned, j C.

837
00:48:54,199 --> 00:48:58,400
Jane was rumored to have been Rhea Ripley's opponent either

838
00:48:58,440 --> 00:49:00,800
at Night of Champions had she now gotten hurt, or

839
00:49:00,880 --> 00:49:03,559
possibly SummerSlam. It is still possible that she could get

840
00:49:03,599 --> 00:49:05,559
a title match at SummerSlam. The fact that we still

841
00:49:05,559 --> 00:49:07,519
have not seen Rhea Ripley and there's been no word

842
00:49:07,559 --> 00:49:12,079
on her status is troubling. So we don't know what

843
00:49:12,159 --> 00:49:14,280
her status is going to be for SummerSlam. If there's

844
00:49:14,320 --> 00:49:16,760
even going to be a Women's Championship match on that show,

845
00:49:16,800 --> 00:49:20,119
we don't know. Jac Jane is in the conversation though,

846
00:49:20,119 --> 00:49:22,599
with somebody who could potentially be challenging for that title.

847
00:49:23,000 --> 00:49:26,000
If she is, then what they should be doing right

848
00:49:26,039 --> 00:49:28,880
now is putting her in the ring. It's more important,

849
00:49:28,880 --> 00:49:30,719
I think, to get her in the ring than Landy Reid,

850
00:49:31,320 --> 00:49:34,480
although I understand this was to push the tag title match,

851
00:49:35,360 --> 00:49:38,159
but if jac is possibly going to be involved in that,

852
00:49:38,400 --> 00:49:40,920
and you know we're now a month out from that,

853
00:49:41,320 --> 00:49:44,440
ple let's start getting her in the ring on this

854
00:49:44,519 --> 00:49:49,519
show and let her rack up some wins. We go backstage.

855
00:49:49,760 --> 00:49:53,199
Our Truth, one half of the Tag Team Champions, and

856
00:49:53,280 --> 00:49:58,599
Nathan Fraser are having a hotel gating contest as Damian

857
00:49:58,639 --> 00:50:03,400
Priest and Axiom look gone. Truth won and he offered

858
00:50:03,400 --> 00:50:07,719
Priest a dog. The war Raiders showed up the Triple

859
00:50:07,760 --> 00:50:11,599
A Tag Team Champions, and Eric wanted an answer to

860
00:50:11,639 --> 00:50:14,440
their challenge from last week when he said that they

861
00:50:14,440 --> 00:50:19,199
should wrestle Champions versus Champions title for title, So he

862
00:50:19,239 --> 00:50:23,440
wanted an answer. Ivar snatched Truth's hot dog away from

863
00:50:23,519 --> 00:50:26,519
him and he bit into it, and Truth told Priest,

864
00:50:26,559 --> 00:50:33,199
he just bit your wiener. Ivar then spat the food

865
00:50:33,239 --> 00:50:39,000
out and Truth said, you're supposed to swallow good lord.

866
00:50:42,360 --> 00:50:45,119
So Truth agreed to a hot dog eating contest with

867
00:50:45,199 --> 00:50:47,039
the tag team titles on the line. I mean you

868
00:50:47,119 --> 00:50:49,480
may as well. At this point the titles don't mean anything.

869
00:50:50,239 --> 00:50:53,000
I mean, shit, what the fuck right? I mean, you

870
00:50:53,039 --> 00:50:55,360
may as well do a hot dog eating contest, the

871
00:50:55,360 --> 00:50:59,599
fucking arm wrestling contest, the dick measuring contest. I mean

872
00:51:00,679 --> 00:51:04,159
you may as well. Can't get any of these titles,

873
00:51:04,199 --> 00:51:08,000
can't get any lower than they are already, Priest told Eric.

874
00:51:08,039 --> 00:51:11,079
He said, look all, this isn't here this week, so

875
00:51:11,440 --> 00:51:15,400
he doesn't know when, and it has to be on SmackDown,

876
00:51:16,400 --> 00:51:20,159
but we accept your challenge. So at some point we

877
00:51:20,280 --> 00:51:25,199
don't know when. It will be Champions against Champions, title

878
00:51:25,239 --> 00:51:29,239
for title. And if they actually have a decisive winner

879
00:51:29,280 --> 00:51:31,639
in this match, this is going to be so fucking terrible.

880
00:51:31,840 --> 00:51:36,079
This is such an awful fucking idea, just an awful, awful,

881
00:51:36,159 --> 00:51:39,679
terrible idea, because again, if we're going to have a

882
00:51:39,679 --> 00:51:42,000
decisive winner, and this is not a way to introduce

883
00:51:42,039 --> 00:51:44,159
some new team that's going to take them both out,

884
00:51:44,239 --> 00:51:46,039
you know, and we get a no contest or something,

885
00:51:47,119 --> 00:51:48,960
then it's going to be Damian Priest and Our Truth

886
00:51:48,960 --> 00:51:50,480
who are going to walk away the winners, and they're

887
00:51:50,519 --> 00:51:52,400
gonna have tag belts from SmackDown. They're going to have

888
00:51:52,400 --> 00:51:54,440
the Triple A tag belts all for what to get

889
00:51:54,440 --> 00:51:56,840
them on Triple A? Send them to Triple A anyway,

890
00:51:56,880 --> 00:51:59,559
you don't need tag team titles around their waist to

891
00:51:59,559 --> 00:52:01,519
send them to Triple A. Or send Damian Priest if

892
00:52:01,559 --> 00:52:03,760
you want to to Triple A. I'm sure Undertaker would

893
00:52:03,760 --> 00:52:08,880
love to do some booking for Damian Priest, but I'm

894
00:52:08,880 --> 00:52:11,119
looking at this, and I'm like, is this the only literally,

895
00:52:11,159 --> 00:52:13,280
the only reason why they put the belts on Eric

896
00:52:13,320 --> 00:52:15,559
and Ivar was to then transition them over to a

897
00:52:15,599 --> 00:52:23,159
SmackDown team. By the way, Joey Chestnutt going for his

898
00:52:23,360 --> 00:52:27,800
eighteenth championship tomorrow in the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest.

899
00:52:28,320 --> 00:52:30,800
It is going to be ninety three degrees tomorrow, which

900
00:52:30,840 --> 00:52:32,880
is actually a cool down from what it was today.

901
00:52:32,880 --> 00:52:35,159
But it's gonna be ninety three degrees in New York

902
00:52:35,239 --> 00:52:39,199
City tomorrow. His goal is to eat at least seventy

903
00:52:39,239 --> 00:52:42,960
six hot dogs. He wants to eat more than seventy

904
00:52:43,000 --> 00:52:48,000
six hot dogs. If I ate three hot dogs on

905
00:52:48,039 --> 00:52:50,320
a ninety three degree day, I would just puke it

906
00:52:50,360 --> 00:52:54,559
all up. I cannot imagine. I cannot fathom stuffing seventy

907
00:52:54,599 --> 00:52:59,320
six hot dogs into my gullet under any conditions, let

908
00:52:59,360 --> 00:53:03,519
alone ninety three degrees outside. But somehow, every year this

909
00:53:03,559 --> 00:53:05,519
guy finds a way to do it. He's looking for

910
00:53:05,559 --> 00:53:08,559
his eighteenth championship. He's he's like fucking the Rick Flair

911
00:53:08,639 --> 00:53:11,639
of the Nathan Tot Dog Eating Contest. Hopefully he doesn't

912
00:53:11,679 --> 00:53:15,679
pull his out and do the helicopter with it after

913
00:53:15,679 --> 00:53:18,880
a break we got our second raw recap of the night,

914
00:53:19,199 --> 00:53:23,079
this time for the Obafemi brock Lesner stuff from Raw

915
00:53:23,159 --> 00:53:28,199
on Monday. In the back, Cody Rhodes was walking and

916
00:53:28,239 --> 00:53:32,320
he runs into Finn Balor. I uh, look there it

917
00:53:32,519 --> 00:53:36,000
is here. It is basic solo nomics. There you go.

918
00:53:37,000 --> 00:53:39,000
Thank you be man the champ, thank you for the five.

919
00:53:40,239 --> 00:53:43,119
He's walking, he bumps into Finn Balor. This always like

920
00:53:43,199 --> 00:53:47,599
amuses me because Finn Balor is just randomly standing around

921
00:53:47,599 --> 00:53:49,599
in the back. Finn Baler did not wrestle on this show.

922
00:53:49,639 --> 00:53:51,480
Finn Baller did not have a promo on this show.

923
00:53:51,559 --> 00:53:53,960
Finn Baller didn't do a damn thing on this show.

924
00:53:54,519 --> 00:53:56,519
I guess if you kind of just look at it

925
00:53:56,519 --> 00:54:02,800
from a cafe perspective, he's just randomly standing around backstage.

926
00:54:02,800 --> 00:54:07,360
And he's not only that, he's in his gear. So

927
00:54:07,559 --> 00:54:09,840
I guess that's why sometimes I say it's almost like

928
00:54:09,840 --> 00:54:12,559
a two K cut scene where you know you're in

929
00:54:12,599 --> 00:54:15,039
the back and people are just standing there. You have

930
00:54:15,119 --> 00:54:17,199
to decide which person you want to walk up to

931
00:54:17,360 --> 00:54:21,159
and engage in conversation with. I just imagine that Finn

932
00:54:21,159 --> 00:54:23,679
Balor shows up to work and you know, he gets

933
00:54:23,679 --> 00:54:26,800
all dressed and he's just standing around in the back

934
00:54:26,840 --> 00:54:29,119
with nothing to do. He's probably the happiest man in

935
00:54:29,159 --> 00:54:31,199
the world that Cody Rhads came over to talk to him,

936
00:54:31,239 --> 00:54:33,280
because otherwise he wouldn't have had anybody to talk to.

937
00:54:34,039 --> 00:54:35,920
Cody Rhoads is getting ready to come out for his

938
00:54:36,000 --> 00:54:40,400
main event. He walks over to Balor and basically Balor

939
00:54:40,440 --> 00:54:44,519
said to him, you're the reason I came to smack Down,

940
00:54:44,880 --> 00:54:47,079
not just to wrestle you, but I wanted to wrestle

941
00:54:47,119 --> 00:54:50,239
you for the championship. So he told Cody go get

942
00:54:50,239 --> 00:54:56,519
your belt back, and Cody walked off. Toma Tonga shows

943
00:54:56,599 --> 00:55:01,079
up and he says to Finn, I was thinking about

944
00:55:01,079 --> 00:55:03,119
what you said last week or whenever. It was that

945
00:55:03,159 --> 00:55:08,840
they interacted in the back and they spoke with the elders.

946
00:55:09,840 --> 00:55:11,760
They got to go through the elders now, I guess

947
00:55:11,760 --> 00:55:16,519
to get permission to to do anything, I guess, you know,

948
00:55:16,639 --> 00:55:21,639
to feud with someone or wipe their ass or whatever

949
00:55:21,679 --> 00:55:23,920
it may be, they gotta go to the elders. I

950
00:55:23,920 --> 00:55:26,360
don't know who the elders are, well, I guess wouldn't

951
00:55:26,360 --> 00:55:28,760
the Rock be the elder at this point? Right off

952
00:55:28,880 --> 00:55:32,519
and Seeker are no longer there. Who would the elders be.

953
00:55:35,440 --> 00:55:41,119
I don't know, if not the Rock, but anyway, maybe Tongalow,

954
00:55:41,239 --> 00:55:44,599
maybe Toangalo is the elder. But they went to the elders,

955
00:55:44,599 --> 00:55:46,840
and he was about to tell Finn what the elders said.

956
00:55:46,840 --> 00:55:50,239
But as he's saying this, Tallatga sneaks up from behind Balor.

957
00:55:50,280 --> 00:55:54,039
He ambushes him, holds him down like he's choking him

958
00:55:54,079 --> 00:55:57,119
on top of an equipment case, and tom A leans

959
00:55:57,119 --> 00:56:00,360
in and he tells him he's closing the book on

960
00:56:00,480 --> 00:56:08,320
his past, and that includes Balor. You know, outside of

961
00:56:08,360 --> 00:56:14,840
a passing comment here and there from Shinsky Nakamura when

962
00:56:14,840 --> 00:56:17,480
they were doing all these segments that ultimately really went

963
00:56:17,519 --> 00:56:23,199
nowhere with Nakamora and Talatanga, they may have done a

964
00:56:23,199 --> 00:56:28,400
TV match that nobody really remembers, but outside of like

965
00:56:28,480 --> 00:56:33,239
Knakamura and Taalatanga or Tama Tangka briefly interacting and kind

966
00:56:33,239 --> 00:56:37,880
of referencing their past in Japan, very very briefly and

967
00:56:38,000 --> 00:56:43,119
without any context whatsoever. Outside of that and a comment

968
00:56:43,280 --> 00:56:47,039
like this where they're alluding to Balor and Tama having

969
00:56:47,039 --> 00:56:52,400
a history together like in Japan, WWE has not bothered.

970
00:56:52,400 --> 00:56:58,760
They have not taken any measures whatsoever to educate their

971
00:56:58,800 --> 00:57:01,480
audience about the history, the real history here between these

972
00:57:01,519 --> 00:57:05,400
two men. They have not done a damn thing that Look,

973
00:57:05,440 --> 00:57:09,800
I understand they don't have access to the footage from

974
00:57:09,840 --> 00:57:12,440
New Japan if they wanted to show highlights from the

975
00:57:12,480 --> 00:57:17,280
Bullet Club days or of past you know, interactions between

976
00:57:17,280 --> 00:57:19,800
these two men. And frankly, even if they did have permission,

977
00:57:20,079 --> 00:57:22,559
I'm not convinced they would care enough to even go

978
00:57:22,639 --> 00:57:26,639
to New Japan and ask for permission to run anything.

979
00:57:27,480 --> 00:57:31,039
They think it's sufficient enough to just tell people about Japan.

980
00:57:31,159 --> 00:57:34,599
That's like the keyword for them. Just say Japan. We

981
00:57:34,719 --> 00:57:38,760
have history in Japan, and so in their minds people

982
00:57:38,800 --> 00:57:41,400
will fill in the blanks. Oh okay, they must have

983
00:57:41,480 --> 00:57:44,599
wrestled each other, or oh okay, they must have been

984
00:57:44,639 --> 00:57:47,559
partners or have been part of the same group, or

985
00:57:47,559 --> 00:57:49,679
they were in a tag team. Right, we don't know

986
00:57:49,719 --> 00:57:52,960
because WWW doesn't bother to tell you. They just sort

987
00:57:52,960 --> 00:57:55,360
of dance around it and they're like, oh, well, there's

988
00:57:55,719 --> 00:57:59,480
there's history here between these two men. And you're talking

989
00:57:59,519 --> 00:58:02,519
about an In terms of WWE fans who buy and

990
00:58:02,599 --> 00:58:05,880
large have no fucking idea what that history would be.

991
00:58:05,920 --> 00:58:08,400
They don't know what Bullet Club is. They don't know.

992
00:58:08,599 --> 00:58:10,599
They don't know, right, they don't know what they don't know,

993
00:58:11,440 --> 00:58:14,280
but they want to bring it up without actually telling you.

994
00:58:15,519 --> 00:58:18,079
I look at this, and maybe I'm aware of it, right,

995
00:58:18,079 --> 00:58:19,920
but I'm looking at this and I'm like, well, okay,

996
00:58:19,960 --> 00:58:23,599
I don't give a shit. Who cares. They're not doing

997
00:58:23,599 --> 00:58:26,039
anything to really get you excited about the fact that, oh,

998
00:58:26,079 --> 00:58:28,519
my goodness, there's history here between these two men. It's like,

999
00:58:28,639 --> 00:58:31,079
is that's supposed to impress me? Is that? Is that

1000
00:58:31,199 --> 00:58:35,360
the level of storytelling that we have here where it's

1001
00:58:35,400 --> 00:58:38,000
okay to just say, oh, these two have history. Don't

1002
00:58:38,000 --> 00:58:40,519
worry about what that history look like, don't worry about

1003
00:58:40,519 --> 00:58:43,199
what that actually means. Well, we're just telling you that

1004
00:58:43,199 --> 00:58:45,920
they have history together, and so you should care. Why

1005
00:58:45,920 --> 00:58:50,239
should I care? Who gives a shit? Who cares? They're

1006
00:58:50,239 --> 00:58:52,320
gonna have a match next week? They announced that on

1007
00:58:52,440 --> 00:58:55,840
SmackDown next week, Finn Balor is going to wrestle Tomatonga.

1008
00:58:56,000 --> 00:59:00,559
Who gives a shit? Who cares? Why should I care

1009
00:59:01,000 --> 00:59:02,599
that these two men are gonna have a match on

1010
00:59:02,639 --> 00:59:06,599
SmackDown Last week? Because Tomataga has attacked him backstage and

1011
00:59:06,679 --> 00:59:09,400
said the elders have sent him after finnbat What does

1012
00:59:09,400 --> 00:59:17,920
that mean? What does that even mean? The bare minimum

1013
00:59:18,039 --> 00:59:21,239
level of effort that they can put into this is

1014
00:59:21,280 --> 00:59:24,039
what you can expect to get out of these people.

1015
00:59:24,039 --> 00:59:27,039
When it comes to these mid card stories on SmackDown,

1016
00:59:28,840 --> 00:59:31,599
they cannot even be But like even I mean even

1017
00:59:31,639 --> 00:59:34,760
the Royce Keys and Jacob Fatu stuff, and in that situation,

1018
00:59:34,840 --> 00:59:37,119
I'm not even sure what they would have to show us.

1019
00:59:37,920 --> 00:59:39,880
They're just telling us that these two have been friends

1020
00:59:39,880 --> 00:59:41,719
for fourteen years. I don't even know if that's true.

1021
00:59:42,400 --> 00:59:44,280
But they're telling us that these two friends they go

1022
00:59:44,360 --> 00:59:46,760
back aways and everything. It's like, we have the same thing.

1023
00:59:46,760 --> 00:59:51,079
It's the same fucking story on the same show. It's

1024
00:59:51,159 --> 00:59:55,559
the same story on the same show where they are

1025
00:59:55,599 --> 00:59:58,519
telling us that these two people have history together and

1026
00:59:58,599 --> 01:00:01,440
we're supposed to just look at that and filling the

1027
01:00:01,480 --> 01:00:06,159
blanks ourselves with whatever that's supposed to mean. Royce Keys

1028
01:00:06,239 --> 01:00:08,719
is showing up on this show and he's looking at

1029
01:00:08,800 --> 01:00:12,000
Jacob and saying, you and I, you and I were

1030
01:00:12,000 --> 01:00:16,559
like Thicke as thieves man fourteen years. That's family, right,

1031
01:00:16,679 --> 01:00:21,679
blood is not family. It's about loyalty, and you're my family. Okay,

1032
01:00:21,760 --> 01:00:25,719
I'm taking his word for it. And so here now

1033
01:00:25,760 --> 01:00:28,320
we have Tomatonga and Finn Balor, and then we have

1034
01:00:28,480 --> 01:00:31,960
history too. Everything's such a big fucking secret on this show.

1035
01:00:33,920 --> 01:00:36,840
I don't know what they're doing is not working in

1036
01:00:36,920 --> 01:00:41,079
terms of getting people excited. I'm sorry, it's not. I

1037
01:00:41,119 --> 01:00:43,840
don't see anybody getting overly excited about any of this shit.

1038
01:00:46,719 --> 01:00:50,840
They closed with Cody Rhodes against Jay Usso and number

1039
01:00:50,840 --> 01:00:55,000
one contenders match for the WWE Championship, and again, some

1040
01:00:55,039 --> 01:01:00,239
people actually were concerned that the match for SummerSlam might

1041
01:01:00,320 --> 01:01:02,880
just be Cody Roads and Jay Usso. Are like, again,

1042
01:01:02,920 --> 01:01:06,159
I'm just blown away by Look. Look, I was worried

1043
01:01:06,239 --> 01:01:08,599
that we were gonna get jay Uso maybe against Roman

1044
01:01:08,639 --> 01:01:15,000
Reigns or something. But give me a fucking break. They

1045
01:01:15,039 --> 01:01:17,920
have a stadium to fill on back to back nights.

1046
01:01:19,119 --> 01:01:21,679
Do you honestly believe they were gonna do Cody Roads

1047
01:01:21,719 --> 01:01:24,519
against jay Ussotse? Do you do you believe you understand

1048
01:01:24,559 --> 01:01:28,480
something right now? That SummerSlam last year? Not to be fair,

1049
01:01:28,519 --> 01:01:33,039
they had John Cena on Night two, and so John

1050
01:01:33,079 --> 01:01:35,519
Cena sold a lot of tickets for them last year,

1051
01:01:36,519 --> 01:01:39,239
but they had between fifty and sixty thousand seats sold

1052
01:01:39,239 --> 01:01:43,280
for SummerSlam last year both nights. I think the number

1053
01:01:43,320 --> 01:01:46,960
they claimed for Night two is like sixty legitimately, though

1054
01:01:46,960 --> 01:01:49,559
it was in that fifty thousand range. Right now, they're

1055
01:01:49,599 --> 01:01:55,519
tracking at like twenty three thousand each night for SummerSlam.

1056
01:01:55,800 --> 01:01:57,320
For one of the reasons why they wanted to do

1057
01:01:57,360 --> 01:01:59,320
Obafemi and brock Lesnar and a hell in a Cell

1058
01:01:59,360 --> 01:02:03,400
match on one of these shows Cody Roads and Jay Usso,

1059
01:02:04,679 --> 01:02:06,719
I mean that was that was not going to cut.

1060
01:02:06,719 --> 01:02:08,599
It's probably one of the reasons why Sammy's Ain may

1061
01:02:08,599 --> 01:02:10,519
not end up in the main event a SummerSlam either.

1062
01:02:10,559 --> 01:02:13,559
But it's not up or shut up time now. He

1063
01:02:13,639 --> 01:02:15,320
got a month ago and they got a lot of

1064
01:02:15,320 --> 01:02:18,199
tickets to sell. Although they'll make their money because the

1065
01:02:18,199 --> 01:02:20,719
tickets are still very high. So even if they don't

1066
01:02:21,159 --> 01:02:23,920
sell fifty thousand seats to SummerSlam this year, they're still

1067
01:02:23,920 --> 01:02:27,079
going to make quite a lot of money. But Jay

1068
01:02:27,119 --> 01:02:30,119
went for a superkick that was avoided though into a

1069
01:02:30,119 --> 01:02:34,920
Crossroads attempt. Jay countered out of that, Cody got sent outside.

1070
01:02:35,000 --> 01:02:38,280
Jay hit a suicide dive. So late in the match,

1071
01:02:38,360 --> 01:02:40,800
Jay hit the USO splash. That wasn't enough though for

1072
01:02:40,840 --> 01:02:44,679
the win. Neither was the Cody cutter that followed. There

1073
01:02:44,719 --> 01:02:46,840
was a disaster kick attempt that was met by a

1074
01:02:46,880 --> 01:02:50,719
superkick followed by a spear by Jay only for a two.

1075
01:02:51,400 --> 01:02:53,880
Jay headed to the top. Cody rolled out of the way, though,

1076
01:02:53,920 --> 01:02:57,719
and then hit Jay with a spear, followed by a Crossroads,

1077
01:02:57,719 --> 01:03:00,559
which looked good too. It looked like he really spiked

1078
01:03:00,599 --> 01:03:03,440
Jay with it on the landing that should have been it,

1079
01:03:04,599 --> 01:03:08,320
like he hit his finisher. It looked good, and Jay

1080
01:03:08,360 --> 01:03:10,920
still kicked out. This is one of those things where

1081
01:03:10,920 --> 01:03:15,440
I think we're so conditioned in wrestling today where every

1082
01:03:15,519 --> 01:03:19,280
finish has to be kicked out of that when I

1083
01:03:19,320 --> 01:03:21,840
see something like this where Cody hits his finish and

1084
01:03:22,239 --> 01:03:25,440
even Jay Usso has to kick out of it, I

1085
01:03:25,880 --> 01:03:29,360
just sit here and I just shake my head, like,

1086
01:03:29,800 --> 01:03:33,320
was it really necessary for Jay Usso to kick out

1087
01:03:33,360 --> 01:03:36,719
of the Crossroads or could you not like hold off

1088
01:03:36,760 --> 01:03:39,199
on the Crossroads until later in the match, Because we

1089
01:03:39,199 --> 01:03:41,280
see Cody so many times, he's got to hit it

1090
01:03:41,360 --> 01:03:44,519
fucking two three, four times before somebody finally goes down.

1091
01:03:45,440 --> 01:03:48,320
Did we really need to waste a near fall on this,

1092
01:03:49,920 --> 01:03:54,239
Jay Usso? Really? Cody headed to the top for what

1093
01:03:54,320 --> 01:03:56,679
looked like his own version of it USO splash, Jay

1094
01:03:56,679 --> 01:03:58,880
got the knees up. Both men struggled to their feet.

1095
01:03:58,920 --> 01:04:02,599
They exchange strikes. Jay got a sleeper applied. Cody backed

1096
01:04:02,599 --> 01:04:04,400
into the corner to break it, and then he hit

1097
01:04:04,440 --> 01:04:07,679
Across Roads again and this time, thankfully, he was able

1098
01:04:07,719 --> 01:04:10,519
to pick up the win. And so Cody Roads, to

1099
01:04:10,559 --> 01:04:14,400
the surprise of absolutely nobody, is going to Chicago on

1100
01:04:14,480 --> 01:04:17,639
Monday night. He will challenge Sammy's Ain and he will

1101
01:04:17,719 --> 01:04:22,760
likely beat Sammy's Ain to win back the WWE Championship.

1102
01:04:23,320 --> 01:04:25,639
As far as this match, it was a very mid

1103
01:04:25,920 --> 01:04:30,320
main event. This is, you know, exactly what you would

1104
01:04:30,320 --> 01:04:32,679
expect it to be. It was ten minutes of Cody

1105
01:04:32,760 --> 01:04:34,880
Roads and Jay Usso. They had exactly the kind of

1106
01:04:34,880 --> 01:04:36,960
match you would expect Cody Rose and Jay Usso to have.

1107
01:04:38,800 --> 01:04:43,159
Nothing special. Cody wins. Cody is going to run Monday Night.

1108
01:04:44,239 --> 01:04:47,840
I can see Cody winning straight up. You know, if

1109
01:04:47,880 --> 01:04:51,360
it's a matter of does somebody get involved, you know,

1110
01:04:51,400 --> 01:04:53,440
what are they going to do the finish of this match?

1111
01:04:53,920 --> 01:04:57,320
I really don't think we need to overthink this. I

1112
01:04:57,360 --> 01:04:59,599
think that they're going to be in Chicago. I think

1113
01:04:59,639 --> 01:05:02,199
there's been talk for a while now that you know

1114
01:05:02,320 --> 01:05:05,039
CM punk is going to either come back on the show,

1115
01:05:05,119 --> 01:05:07,079
or that he's been pushing and lobbying to make his

1116
01:05:07,159 --> 01:05:08,960
return on that show, even though he's going to be

1117
01:05:09,079 --> 01:05:11,719
a SmackDown star most likely when he does come back,

1118
01:05:11,760 --> 01:05:15,519
which he should be, but it doesn't matter because he

1119
01:05:15,599 --> 01:05:17,599
had Adam Pierce for Christ's sake in the Back to

1120
01:05:17,679 --> 01:05:19,599
Night talking about, well, maybe we'll make it a super

1121
01:05:19,599 --> 01:05:21,400
show on Monday, and we'll have talent from Raw and

1122
01:05:21,440 --> 01:05:23,920
we'll have talent from Smackdowns. So see, it's okay now

1123
01:05:23,960 --> 01:05:25,639
for CM punk to show up, even if he's going

1124
01:05:25,679 --> 01:05:28,440
to be on SmackDown. I don't think we're looking at

1125
01:05:28,480 --> 01:05:30,719
a situation where CM punk gets involved in this matter.

1126
01:05:30,760 --> 01:05:33,159
Why would he get involved, Why would CM punk interfere

1127
01:05:33,199 --> 01:05:36,320
in this match? It doesn't even make any sense. Cody

1128
01:05:36,400 --> 01:05:38,039
Roads is going to go in there and probably beat

1129
01:05:38,039 --> 01:05:42,199
sammy' z ain straight up, prove that Saturday was a fluke,

1130
01:05:43,400 --> 01:05:45,440
and then we're going to hear cult of personality when

1131
01:05:45,480 --> 01:05:47,199
the match is over and CM punk is going to

1132
01:05:47,239 --> 01:05:49,119
come out. It's going to be the exact same thing

1133
01:05:49,159 --> 01:05:53,800
that they did fifteen years ago in twenty eleven, when

1134
01:05:53,840 --> 01:05:56,960
Punk beats Senif to win the WWE Championship, and he

1135
01:05:57,039 --> 01:06:00,639
went away for all of like a week, but when

1136
01:06:00,679 --> 01:06:02,880
he returned and he showed up on Raw, which I

1137
01:06:02,920 --> 01:06:06,480
believe was the night that John Cena ended raymis STEREO's

1138
01:06:06,599 --> 01:06:11,639
rain as WWE champion. After an hour, he beat him,

1139
01:06:11,639 --> 01:06:14,280
he won the belt back, and then you heard for

1140
01:06:14,320 --> 01:06:16,800
the first time, actually the first time in WWE, you

1141
01:06:16,840 --> 01:06:20,800
heard Cult of Personality, and Punk walked out, and Punk

1142
01:06:20,840 --> 01:06:22,639
came to the ring. He still had the belt. They

1143
01:06:22,679 --> 01:06:24,719
had made a new one, and they both held up

1144
01:06:24,760 --> 01:06:27,239
their belt. We're gonna get something similar on Monday. I

1145
01:06:27,280 --> 01:06:30,599
think Cody beat Sammy. We hear the music and outcomes

1146
01:06:30,679 --> 01:06:33,679
Punk and they set up what will likely be the

1147
01:06:33,760 --> 01:06:35,599
main event for one of the two nights of Summer

1148
01:06:35,599 --> 01:06:39,119
Slim this year, Cody Rhodes defending the WWE Championship against

1149
01:06:39,159 --> 01:06:43,239
CM Punk and that is a match that I have

1150
01:06:43,280 --> 01:06:45,079
wanted to see for some time. I think it's one

1151
01:06:45,079 --> 01:06:48,000
of the biggest matches outside of Rock and Roman and

1152
01:06:48,280 --> 01:06:51,039
Roman and Oba. It is one of the biggest match.

1153
01:06:51,159 --> 01:06:53,480
It probably is the biggest match outside of those two

1154
01:06:53,519 --> 01:06:56,719
were right alongside Roman and Oba. That they could do

1155
01:06:57,480 --> 01:06:59,960
is Cody Roads against CM Punk. I want to see

1156
01:07:00,119 --> 01:07:02,000
that match. If that is going to be the main

1157
01:07:02,039 --> 01:07:05,039
event of Night one or Night two of Summer Slim,

1158
01:07:05,079 --> 01:07:08,800
I think that's great. I think that's fine. To do

1159
01:07:08,960 --> 01:07:14,599
so at the expense of sammys Ain one week basically

1160
01:07:14,760 --> 01:07:21,000
roughly one week after winning the WWE Championship, that would

1161
01:07:21,039 --> 01:07:26,000
be disappointing. I'm sure that would be upsetting, probably to

1162
01:07:26,039 --> 01:07:28,480
a lot of people who even work there, who genuinely

1163
01:07:28,519 --> 01:07:31,320
love Sammy'sey, They love working with him, They think the

1164
01:07:31,360 --> 01:07:34,280
world of him and his in ring work, and so

1165
01:07:34,360 --> 01:07:36,280
to see him get his moment the way that he

1166
01:07:36,360 --> 01:07:39,039
has and then take it away from him a week

1167
01:07:39,159 --> 01:07:42,559
later would be very shitty because I'm not convinced he'd

1168
01:07:42,559 --> 01:07:47,719
be getting it back maybe. Ever, the reason that it

1169
01:07:47,719 --> 01:07:50,199
would be disappointing, though, is also because I don't see

1170
01:07:50,199 --> 01:07:52,920
another spot for him on the Summer Slim card. It

1171
01:07:52,960 --> 01:07:55,960
is entirely possible that if Sammy's Ain loses the WWE

1172
01:07:56,000 --> 01:07:58,679
title on Monday, he will not be at SummerSlam. I

1173
01:07:58,719 --> 01:08:01,559
don't know what else he would be doing, or where

1174
01:08:01,559 --> 01:08:04,320
else he would fit in on that card if not

1175
01:08:04,480 --> 01:08:08,000
for the WWE title picture. So would he be involved

1176
01:08:08,079 --> 01:08:10,119
in a match with the two of them, I think

1177
01:08:10,159 --> 01:08:13,840
that's certainly a possibility. But I think the match that

1178
01:08:13,840 --> 01:08:16,960
they're gonna want to do is Cody and Punk because

1179
01:08:17,000 --> 01:08:19,119
that is a big attraction. That is an attraction that will

1180
01:08:19,159 --> 01:08:23,840
help really sell tickets for SummerSlam. I can understand the

1181
01:08:24,199 --> 01:08:27,560
desire to want to do that match, but if it happens,

1182
01:08:27,600 --> 01:08:29,239
it's going to be at the expense of Sammy's an

1183
01:08:29,359 --> 01:08:32,319
unless you can sort of worm him in there somehow.

1184
01:08:33,159 --> 01:08:37,760
I don't like what the future holds for him comes

1185
01:08:37,800 --> 01:08:40,399
Summer Slam if he loses that championship on Monday, and

1186
01:08:40,399 --> 01:08:43,359
I think right now there's a very very real possibility

1187
01:08:43,359 --> 01:08:47,159
that's exactly what's going to happen. So I'm glad he

1188
01:08:47,199 --> 01:08:49,079
got his moment, and I knew it wasn't going to

1189
01:08:49,119 --> 01:08:52,399
be a long run to begin with. But men, he

1190
01:08:52,479 --> 01:08:54,479
may not thought that he may not even make it

1191
01:08:54,520 --> 01:08:57,479
to Saturday Nights, may event let alone Summer Slam as

1192
01:08:57,520 --> 01:09:03,000
a champion. That's pretty shitty. But Punk is coming back,

1193
01:09:03,600 --> 01:09:07,479
and I'm expecting him to show up as a surprise

1194
01:09:07,479 --> 01:09:10,279
at the very end of the show. Assuming they do

1195
01:09:10,359 --> 01:09:12,319
that as the main event and they close the show

1196
01:09:12,319 --> 01:09:15,199
with it, I expect him to walk out when that

1197
01:09:15,239 --> 01:09:18,159
match is over and we get that big face to

1198
01:09:18,199 --> 01:09:22,319
face and all right, buy your tickets. Now you got

1199
01:09:22,399 --> 01:09:25,079
Roman and Seth on night one, you got Cody and Punk.

1200
01:09:25,079 --> 01:09:27,960
On night two, you got Brock and Oba inside hell

1201
01:09:28,000 --> 01:09:35,000
in a cell, Sorry Sammy. How long did Sammy hold

1202
01:09:35,000 --> 01:09:39,760
the NXT Championship? Not very long, not very long at all.

1203
01:09:39,760 --> 01:09:42,359
How long did he hold the NXT Championship? Three months?

1204
01:09:43,560 --> 01:09:50,920
Two months? He wanted in December at our Evolution. I'm

1205
01:09:51,159 --> 01:09:55,000
pretty sure he lost it to Kevin Owens in February.

1206
01:09:55,039 --> 01:09:57,800
Two months. Yeah, I don't even know if he defended

1207
01:09:57,840 --> 01:10:05,239
it against anybody other than the Kevin Owens. Yeah, that's

1208
01:10:05,279 --> 01:10:10,399
the way it goes sometimes. But that's SmackDown. We got

1209
01:10:10,439 --> 01:10:12,880
the first two hour show out of the way. It's

1210
01:10:12,920 --> 01:10:14,800
two hours the rest of the way here until the

1211
01:10:14,840 --> 01:10:17,880
end of the year before we have the return of

1212
01:10:17,920 --> 01:10:20,840
the three hour Nightmare. So even though these shows are

1213
01:10:20,880 --> 01:10:26,199
still largely not good, I will appreciate the fact that

1214
01:10:26,279 --> 01:10:29,560
we have one hour less of SmackDown every week. This

1215
01:10:29,720 --> 01:10:35,359
is good. This is a good thing. All right, let's

1216
01:10:35,359 --> 01:10:37,279
go ahead and check out your superchats here because we

1217
01:10:37,359 --> 01:10:39,199
got a bunch of them to go through. Thank you

1218
01:10:39,239 --> 01:10:42,960
guys for hanging out with me here on the eve

1219
01:10:43,159 --> 01:10:47,279
of July fourth, on a very hot day. I hope

1220
01:10:47,279 --> 01:10:54,239
wherever you are you are staying cool. We are doing

1221
01:10:54,640 --> 01:10:56,960
one round to be the Booker. By the way, the

1222
01:10:57,079 --> 01:11:01,279
goal was three fifty. We were at four, which is great.

1223
01:11:01,920 --> 01:11:04,039
And uh oh, we're nine out of ten. Look at that,

1224
01:11:04,479 --> 01:11:09,399
nine out of ten on the bonus goal. We might

1225
01:11:09,479 --> 01:11:11,479
do two rounds of be the Booker. We'll see. We'll

1226
01:11:11,479 --> 01:11:19,960
see how that goes. Joseph Stewart, who is not with

1227
01:11:20,039 --> 01:11:22,239
us on Wednesday, but he's with us here on Friday.

1228
01:11:22,600 --> 01:11:27,159
What's going on, Joseph? Oh my goodness, it's six in

1229
01:11:27,199 --> 01:11:34,000
the morning in Norway. G boujar Are you in Norway?

1230
01:11:34,239 --> 01:11:40,760
You're in Norway? Wow? Six am. What's the weather like

1231
01:11:40,840 --> 01:11:44,119
in Norway? I'll bet it's not ninety eight degrees like

1232
01:11:44,159 --> 01:11:47,800
it was today. That's ninety eight fahrenheit. By the way,

1233
01:11:47,840 --> 01:11:53,279
I have to remember we have a lot of international viewers.

1234
01:11:54,960 --> 01:12:01,960
Some of them are in Celsius ninety eight fahrenheit. What

1235
01:12:02,000 --> 01:12:09,239
would ninety eight fahrenheit be in Celsius, I don't know offhand. Gabriel,

1236
01:12:09,319 --> 01:12:12,159
Boss Gabriel is the bows. He says after the Willow

1237
01:12:12,239 --> 01:12:15,399
Nightingale Vignette from Collision, it is confirmed that Willow against

1238
01:12:15,399 --> 01:12:17,239
Monette will be the match at all in and the

1239
01:12:17,239 --> 01:12:23,760
outcome will be a mess, with neither woman affording to lose. Well,

1240
01:12:23,840 --> 01:12:26,000
I mean, it's not official, but I said this in

1241
01:12:26,039 --> 01:12:29,000
my Dynamite review. I think Willow is returning in the

1242
01:12:29,079 --> 01:12:31,520
Casino Gauntlet next Wednesday. I think she's gonna win it,

1243
01:12:31,600 --> 01:12:33,239
and I think she's gonna beat Teckler for the Belt

1244
01:12:33,239 --> 01:12:36,960
of Redemption, and I think she's going to defend against

1245
01:12:37,039 --> 01:12:40,359
Monette at all In. But he says, you can't have

1246
01:12:40,439 --> 01:12:44,279
Willow lose again a title after only one month, and

1247
01:12:44,439 --> 01:12:48,960
Monette can't just keep coming short of the world title twice,

1248
01:12:49,239 --> 01:12:53,479
wasting the owen. I agree on her wasting the owen twice.

1249
01:12:53,560 --> 01:12:56,800
That would be a waste of the owen. And I

1250
01:12:57,119 --> 01:13:00,199
am expecting Mercedes is going to get the championship at

1251
01:13:00,199 --> 01:13:04,680
some point and probably a Wembley. But if you were

1252
01:13:04,720 --> 01:13:06,520
to ask me, is there a better chance of Willow

1253
01:13:06,680 --> 01:13:14,199
losing or Mercedes losing. I'm not convinced that Mercedes is

1254
01:13:14,199 --> 01:13:18,359
gonna win the championship. I don't know what her long

1255
01:13:18,439 --> 01:13:25,319
term plans are. Who's to say that this doesn't become

1256
01:13:25,359 --> 01:13:27,960
her story, you know, where every time she challenges for

1257
01:13:28,000 --> 01:13:30,880
that title she falls short. But the Owen thing, I mean,

1258
01:13:30,880 --> 01:13:32,439
you got a good point on the Owen thing. To

1259
01:13:32,840 --> 01:13:34,680
have her win two years in a row, even though

1260
01:13:34,680 --> 01:13:37,640
this year she was supposedly not even gonna be in

1261
01:13:37,680 --> 01:13:40,319
the tournament, and that everything worked out the way it did,

1262
01:13:40,760 --> 01:13:43,840
that was not the plan, so she would not have won.

1263
01:13:43,960 --> 01:13:48,000
Willo probably would have won for the second time. But

1264
01:13:49,079 --> 01:13:52,560
to have the same person win the Owen twice, you know,

1265
01:13:52,600 --> 01:13:56,079
and then lose, that would be pretty lame. I don't

1266
01:13:56,119 --> 01:13:59,840
disagree with you on that. This week's episode is sponsored

1267
01:13:59,840 --> 01:14:03,279
by wis Listen up. If you run your own business,

1268

big or small, doesn't really matter. You probably have a website,

1269
01:14:06,880 --> 01:14:09,000

1295
01:15:25,560 --> 01:15:27,359
I guess I should be happy. On one hand, I

1296
01:15:27,439 --> 01:15:29,840
was really convinced Keana was not going to be seen

1297
01:15:29,920 --> 01:15:33,720
for a very long time after last week, because on

1298
01:15:33,760 --> 01:15:35,479
the other hand, I don't really know how to feel

1299
01:15:35,520 --> 01:15:37,880
about her booking still, and that's kind of where I'm

1300
01:15:37,880 --> 01:15:42,800
at right now. And guess, given the booking in WWE,

1301
01:15:42,840 --> 01:15:46,000
you have every right to not know how things are

1302
01:15:46,000 --> 01:15:48,399
going to end up for Keana James because everything is

1303
01:15:48,439 --> 01:15:52,920
just sort of all over the place right now. He says,

1304
01:15:52,920 --> 01:15:56,520
Thank god for the Daredevil Born Again season three leaks.

1305
01:15:56,600 --> 01:15:59,000
They have been cheering me up, which I've needed because

1306
01:15:59,119 --> 01:16:02,600
WWE has been letting me down lately. Wasn't there some

1307
01:16:02,680 --> 01:16:06,520
sort of Avengers endgame leak? What was it that leaked?

1308
01:16:06,600 --> 01:16:08,560
Was it the script that leaked? Something leaked? It was

1309
01:16:08,600 --> 01:16:14,960
like a major Hollywood leak recently. Everybody was freaking out

1310
01:16:15,000 --> 01:16:18,680
about it. Broley says they hot shot of the Cody

1311
01:16:18,680 --> 01:16:22,079
and Sammy title match because the US faces Belgium in

1312
01:16:22,119 --> 01:16:24,319
the knockout stage in the World Cup at the same

1313
01:16:24,359 --> 01:16:27,800
time as Raw. Yeah. I don't know if that's the

1314
01:16:27,840 --> 01:16:30,960
reason why. I think they're timing it with the return

1315
01:16:31,000 --> 01:16:35,399
of cmpunk. That's what I think. I think that has

1316
01:16:35,439 --> 01:16:36,680
a hell of a lot more to do with why

1317
01:16:36,680 --> 01:16:46,479
we're getting that match on Monday. Bossmo Jackson, what's going on? Brother?

1318
01:16:46,680 --> 01:16:49,199
He says, what's up? My guy? Hope all as well.

1319
01:16:51,159 --> 01:16:54,319
Sammy's ain't as champion is quite refreshing, he says. I

1320
01:16:54,359 --> 01:16:56,439
love it. Well, you can love it for a few

1321
01:16:56,439 --> 01:17:00,520
more days. It may not be so refreshing after Monday night.

1322
01:17:00,560 --> 01:17:11,199
You may not feel so refreshed anymore, says Top three

1323
01:17:11,680 --> 01:17:20,800
most hated or disliked sitcoms. Oh, disliked sitcoms. I don't

1324
01:17:20,840 --> 01:17:24,279
really have any because the sitcoms that I tried to

1325
01:17:24,319 --> 01:17:27,319
watch and didn't like, I just I didn't stick with it.

1326
01:17:27,359 --> 01:17:29,840
I didn't watch them, so I can't tell you how

1327
01:17:29,880 --> 01:17:32,880
awful they really are there. I mean, there have been

1328
01:17:32,920 --> 01:17:37,119
some sitcoms over the years that I've tried and I

1329
01:17:37,199 --> 01:17:38,880
just never even gave them a chance because they just

1330
01:17:38,880 --> 01:17:40,640
didn't appeal to me. It's a lot easier for me

1331
01:17:40,720 --> 01:17:46,720
to tell you which sitcoms I liked, were loved, you know,

1332
01:17:46,840 --> 01:17:50,039
or like what my favorite ones would be. I tell

1333
01:17:50,039 --> 01:17:54,279
you right now. Seinfeld married with children, curb your enthusiasm,

1334
01:17:54,560 --> 01:17:56,640
and I'll throw Golden Girls on there too. Golden Girl,

1335
01:17:56,680 --> 01:17:59,000
don't make fun of me. Golden Girl's a great fucking show.

1336
01:17:59,279 --> 01:18:02,840
I will fight anybody who denies that. That just tells

1337
01:18:02,880 --> 01:18:10,880
me you've never watched. There you go, he says my

1338
01:18:11,199 --> 01:18:16,800
Mount Rushmore of aw. Oh, he said, I thought you

1339
01:18:16,840 --> 01:18:20,359
were gonna tell me what yours was. I think he

1340
01:18:20,439 --> 01:18:24,479
means Mount Rushmore of aaw. I hate the Mount Rushmore question.

1341
01:18:24,840 --> 01:18:28,199
Fuck Mount Rushmore. I would blow it up with dynamite

1342
01:18:28,199 --> 01:18:33,680
if I could all these Mount Rushmore questions. I'll give you.

1343
01:18:33,760 --> 01:18:36,199
I'll give you the w CW one, though, because the

1344
01:18:36,279 --> 01:18:44,600
WW one for me is a lot easier. Sting Flair Hogan.

1345
01:18:44,680 --> 01:18:47,760
I think Hogan has to be on there as important

1346
01:18:47,760 --> 01:18:49,800
a piece of that company as he ended up becoming

1347
01:18:50,680 --> 01:18:59,439
Sting Flair Hogan, and honestly, probably Goldberg. He was the

1348
01:18:59,439 --> 01:19:13,920
one through White Hot Star that they ever made. It's

1349
01:19:13,920 --> 01:19:17,520
odd to say on the fourth I would like to

1350
01:19:17,560 --> 01:19:20,880
blow up Mount rut Well, if you got your seventy

1351
01:19:20,920 --> 01:19:24,279
seventh email with Mount Rushmore questions or forty eight super

1352
01:19:24,319 --> 01:19:26,319
chat with Matt Rushmore questions, you two would want to

1353
01:19:26,319 --> 01:19:34,359
blow up Mount Rushmore. Uh, one eight seven Trapper Die

1354
01:19:34,439 --> 01:19:37,279
does punk turn heel Monday and cost Cody the title?

1355
01:19:37,399 --> 01:19:39,079
Or just come out after the match as the new

1356
01:19:39,199 --> 01:19:42,520
He just comes out after the match. He's not getting

1357
01:19:42,520 --> 01:19:49,159
involved in the match, has no reason to. He's not

1358
01:19:49,199 --> 01:19:56,159
a heel shapey. It should be the usso's and Jacob

1359
01:19:56,199 --> 01:19:59,479
against Solo, La and Keys at SummerSlam. That's exactly what

1360
01:19:59,520 --> 01:20:04,319
I said her all rights, fuck a lot and great

1361
01:20:04,359 --> 01:20:07,279
minds think alike. I think that's exactly what the match

1362
01:20:07,319 --> 01:20:11,439
is going to be. Fuck that tree, Suck that tree.

1363
01:20:11,520 --> 01:20:20,000
That's right, you tell them Death's sithe. Drew mackincock is

1364
01:20:20,039 --> 01:20:22,600
back with us with the four ninety nine. My birthday

1365
01:20:22,640 --> 01:20:24,760
is July fourth? Can I get a birthday shout out

1366
01:20:24,800 --> 01:20:28,000
from the legend? Been a fan for ten years and

1367
01:20:28,039 --> 01:20:32,760
we'll be a fan for ten more. Well, I guess

1368
01:20:32,840 --> 01:20:35,039
I have to do the show now for another ten years.

1369
01:20:35,079 --> 01:20:38,279
Now that you went and said that, do you realize

1370
01:20:38,319 --> 01:20:40,600
that if I do the podcast for another ten years,

1371
01:20:41,239 --> 01:20:44,880
I will be one year shy of thirty years doing

1372
01:20:44,920 --> 01:20:51,439
the sound though. That's crazy, that's crazy, and I don't

1373
01:20:51,439 --> 01:20:56,119
look a day over thirty, especially with this hat. Let's

1374
01:20:56,119 --> 01:20:57,960
put a backpack on my back. I look like I'm

1375
01:20:57,960 --> 01:21:02,520
going to college of all Drew A Happy birthday, Happy fourth,

1376
01:21:02,640 --> 01:21:05,880
May the fourth be with you. I know it's not

1377
01:21:05,920 --> 01:21:08,680
the right month to be saying that, but I hope

1378
01:21:08,720 --> 01:21:11,720
you have a great birthday. A what a great day

1379
01:21:11,720 --> 01:21:14,119
to celebrate it too. You're gonna have fireworks and shit

1380
01:21:14,199 --> 01:21:16,520
going off. You could pretend that it's all for you.

1381
01:21:17,359 --> 01:21:22,520
I hear it outside my window right now. We already

1382
01:21:22,520 --> 01:21:24,680
have fireworks going off here. I don't know why anybody

1383
01:21:24,720 --> 01:21:28,079
would want to be outside. Although I think it rained

1384
01:21:28,159 --> 01:21:30,199
a few hours ago, so I think it. I think

1385
01:21:30,239 --> 01:21:33,720
it broke the temperature. I think it's down to like

1386
01:21:33,760 --> 01:21:37,079
only eighty now. Literally, up until like two or three

1387
01:21:37,119 --> 01:21:39,520
hours ago, it was still like ninety three degrees outside,

1388
01:21:40,560 --> 01:21:50,000
just sickening temjin Zepha is with us with a nine

1389
01:21:50,119 --> 01:21:58,640
ninety nine. I look like a frat boy. What's that

1390
01:21:58,720 --> 01:22:02,640
group in Evolve? I well, I guess they're an n

1391
01:22:02,760 --> 01:22:08,279
XT now Brad Baylor and those guys, what's what's what's

1392
01:22:08,319 --> 01:22:09,640
the name of that group? I could be part of

1393
01:22:09,640 --> 01:22:18,960
that group. I could be part of that faction. Tempgen

1394
01:22:19,000 --> 01:22:23,760
says saw Obsession last night. What a movie reminded me

1395
01:22:23,800 --> 01:22:26,600
of a time my mom went to see The Exorcist

1396
01:22:26,640 --> 01:22:30,640
when it came out. Would you consider Obsession to be

1397
01:22:30,880 --> 01:22:34,960
this generation's version of the Exorcist. I can't say that

1398
01:22:35,079 --> 01:22:37,800
because I of the Vanity Project. Thank you, Yes, I

1399
01:22:37,800 --> 01:22:43,239
should be part of the Vanity Project. Yeah, I think

1400
01:22:43,239 --> 01:22:45,720
they do. They have a similar group in a Ring

1401
01:22:45,720 --> 01:22:49,000
of Honor. I believe it might be called the frat

1402
01:22:49,000 --> 01:22:54,159
House now that I think about it. Yeah, I didn't.

1403
01:22:54,399 --> 01:22:57,880
I was not old enough to go. I don't think

1404
01:22:57,920 --> 01:22:59,640
I was here when it came out in movies. But

1405
01:23:00,199 --> 01:23:02,039
I didn't see The Exorcist in a movie theater, so

1406
01:23:02,039 --> 01:23:05,279
I can't vouch for what that experience was like seeing

1407
01:23:05,279 --> 01:23:08,039
that movie in the theater. It may have been a

1408
01:23:08,039 --> 01:23:10,880
similar kind of experience where people were just like shocked.

1409
01:23:13,920 --> 01:23:15,800
I don't really have anything to compare it to. It's

1410
01:23:15,840 --> 01:23:19,479
a very unique movie going experience. I kind of wish

1411
01:23:19,520 --> 01:23:21,840
I would have gone to see it again in theaters,

1412
01:23:22,840 --> 01:23:24,880
But the way these movie tickets are these days, it's

1413
01:23:24,920 --> 01:23:27,239
so fucking expensive, and I have so many movies that

1414
01:23:27,279 --> 01:23:29,920
I want to see this year, I couldn't. In my mind,

1415
01:23:29,960 --> 01:23:34,359
I'm like, I can't justify paying for another ticket to

1416
01:23:34,399 --> 01:23:37,560
go back to the theater just to see it amongst

1417
01:23:37,640 --> 01:23:40,039
other people to get their react, Like, you know what,

1418
01:23:40,560 --> 01:23:43,159
I'll wait until if I'm not concerned about like other

1419
01:23:43,199 --> 01:23:46,680
people's reactions to the movie, I'll wait until it's out

1420
01:23:46,680 --> 01:23:51,159
on digital. And you have these like YouTube movie reviewers

1421
01:23:51,199 --> 01:23:53,960
that do reaction videos to movies they've never seen before,

1422
01:23:54,039 --> 01:23:57,119
or they claim they've never seen before. If I'm so

1423
01:23:57,199 --> 01:23:59,960
interested in people's reactions, I'll just watch those reaction video

1424
01:24:00,920 --> 01:24:07,279
for free. We'll just do that, super Pony says. So

1425
01:24:07,359 --> 01:24:09,640
they pretty much gave Sammy the title and said here

1426
01:24:09,680 --> 01:24:12,720
you go, but we don't really mean it. That's what

1427
01:24:12,760 --> 01:24:15,279
they think of one of the best wrestlers of his generation.

1428
01:24:15,560 --> 01:24:19,800
Fucking assholes. Well, he hasn't lost the belt yet. I'm

1429
01:24:19,840 --> 01:24:21,560
just saying I think he's going to lose it. I

1430
01:24:21,560 --> 01:24:24,920
think he's on borrowed time, but he has not yet

1431
01:24:24,960 --> 01:24:26,800
lost the championship. But you had look when they put

1432
01:24:26,840 --> 01:24:28,399
the belt on him in the first place. You had

1433
01:24:28,439 --> 01:24:29,760
to know that this is where it was going to

1434
01:24:29,880 --> 01:24:33,439
end up. I said it the night he wanted I said,

1435
01:24:33,479 --> 01:24:38,399
this is this wonderful moment for him and this character

1436
01:24:38,479 --> 01:24:42,119
that he's kind of evolved over the past few months.

1437
01:24:42,159 --> 01:24:46,960
This last real good guy stick. But he was never

1438
01:24:47,000 --> 01:24:48,840
going to have it for an extended period of time.

1439
01:24:48,880 --> 01:24:51,800
He was never going to be the guy on SmackDown.

1440
01:24:51,920 --> 01:24:54,520
He was always going to be the guy right below

1441
01:24:54,560 --> 01:24:56,600
the guy. That was never going to change. You could

1442
01:24:56,640 --> 01:24:58,159
put all the belts, you could put all the belts

1443
01:24:58,159 --> 01:25:00,600
on him, like that Triple H meme from many years

1444
01:25:00,600 --> 01:25:02,560
ago where he's posing on the ropes. He's doing that

1445
01:25:02,600 --> 01:25:05,399
pose and he's got like the Diva's belt is on him,

1446
01:25:05,439 --> 01:25:07,840
and ever you could put all the gold on Sammy's am.

1447
01:25:07,920 --> 01:25:09,880
He will never be the guy. He will never be

1448
01:25:10,680 --> 01:25:14,319
that lead performer who's going to be headlining all the

1449
01:25:14,359 --> 01:25:19,119
plees and maybe one or two and that's gonna be it.

1450
01:25:19,319 --> 01:25:21,239
You know. The WrestleMania main event that he got that

1451
01:25:21,279 --> 01:25:24,399
one year was a Night one tag team match, and

1452
01:25:24,439 --> 01:25:25,960
that's about as good as it's going to get for

1453
01:25:26,039 --> 01:25:28,640
him when it comes to WrestleMania. That's just how it is.

1454
01:25:29,680 --> 01:25:31,760
But for him to even win the belt at all

1455
01:25:31,920 --> 01:25:35,159
and get that moment was very cool. It was very

1456
01:25:36,119 --> 01:25:38,359
for him. You could tell it meant a lot to him.

1457
01:25:39,680 --> 01:25:41,439
But it's not a matter of well, let's just give

1458
01:25:41,439 --> 01:25:44,119
it to him as like a participation trophy because he

1459
01:25:44,279 --> 01:25:48,720
deserves it. It was like he has been consistently the

1460
01:25:48,760 --> 01:25:52,439
most entertaining thing on SmackDown now for a few months,

1461
01:25:53,840 --> 01:25:57,279
and so Cody can win and lose the belt another

1462
01:25:57,319 --> 01:26:00,840
five times, it doesn't really matter. Why do we need

1463
01:26:00,840 --> 01:26:03,159
the championship on Cody right now? Let's put it on

1464
01:26:03,199 --> 01:26:05,439
Sammy and give things a little bit of a shakeup

1465
01:26:05,439 --> 01:26:07,920
heading into summer, Slim, what's so wrong with that? You

1466
01:26:07,960 --> 01:26:12,079
know what's so bad about that? But I don't think

1467
01:26:12,119 --> 01:26:15,199
that you ever should have really been expecting for him

1468
01:26:15,199 --> 01:26:18,239
to have it for very long. A week would be ridiculous,

1469
01:26:18,319 --> 01:26:25,840
but at most maybe Summerslim. I never really expected him

1470
01:26:25,880 --> 01:26:33,119
to hold it longer than that. Fast Eddie Happy fourth solo,

1471
01:26:33,159 --> 01:26:37,960
looking forward to Dark Side of the Ring Season seven's reviews.

1472
01:26:38,159 --> 01:26:40,600
Always a big fan of your reviews every season, Well,

1473
01:26:40,600 --> 01:26:44,920
I'm glad you enjoy them. There was a clip that

1474
01:26:45,000 --> 01:26:48,039
they posted on the YouTube channel, like a seven minute

1475
01:26:48,520 --> 01:26:55,880
kind of teaser clip talking about Karen then Karen Angle

1476
01:26:57,159 --> 01:26:59,039
meeting Jeff Jarrett and how they ended up in a

1477
01:26:59,039 --> 01:27:02,840
relationship together in this misconception that she was still married

1478
01:27:02,880 --> 01:27:05,039
to Kurt and she had an affair and that's how

1479
01:27:05,079 --> 01:27:07,840
her and Jeff ended up together. But she sat down

1480
01:27:07,880 --> 01:27:09,840
for an interview to set the record straight for the

1481
01:27:09,840 --> 01:27:12,800
first time as she was talking about it. So that's

1482
01:27:12,840 --> 01:27:15,720
going to be part of these initial TNA episodes that

1483
01:27:15,720 --> 01:27:18,600
are going to be airing. The show is back on Tuesday,

1484
01:27:19,760 --> 01:27:23,399
and I have every intention of watching them and reviewing

1485
01:27:23,439 --> 01:27:27,039
them as I do every season. So I just got

1486
01:27:27,039 --> 01:27:28,680
to figure out where I'm going to watch them because

1487
01:27:28,680 --> 01:27:32,199
I do not have Vice TV. But we'll figure something out.

1488
01:27:34,039 --> 01:27:39,680
We'll figure it out. Uh, super Pony says, how do

1489
01:27:39,760 --> 01:27:42,479
these people book Cody like this and expect the fans

1490
01:27:43,520 --> 01:27:45,960
not to turn on him? These people cannot book a

1491
01:27:46,000 --> 01:27:50,159
face of the company babyface for shit. I mean, look

1492
01:27:50,199 --> 01:27:54,079
at Roman. They got Roman going around and the fans

1493
01:27:54,119 --> 01:27:57,560
are chanting no TC and they're you know, acknowledge me,

1494
01:27:57,600 --> 01:27:59,199
and they go nuts and everything and the guy's a

1495
01:27:59,199 --> 01:28:05,039
fucking heel up is down? Left is right? Nothing makes

1496
01:28:05,079 --> 01:28:08,720
any sense anymore. But yes, they have done a very

1497
01:28:08,760 --> 01:28:11,960
bad job over the years when it comes to booking

1498
01:28:12,039 --> 01:28:16,199
a lot of their baby faces and really forcing it

1499
01:28:16,680 --> 01:28:20,319
or staying with the pat hand for too long until

1500
01:28:20,359 --> 01:28:28,880
people just sour on them Bosmo Jackson with the four

1501
01:28:28,960 --> 01:28:32,039
ninety nine. Frankly, I'm sick of Cody. I'm burned out

1502
01:28:32,039 --> 01:28:34,880
on him. It's always Cody all the time. I love Cody,

1503
01:28:34,920 --> 01:28:37,039
but I'm tired of seeing him in the title programs.

1504
01:28:37,279 --> 01:28:42,800
WWE is killing me. Yeah, I mean, look, I wouldn't

1505
01:28:43,840 --> 01:28:46,000
I wouldn't be opposed to keeping the belt on Sammy

1506
01:28:46,039 --> 01:28:48,960
a little bit longer. But if the plan is to

1507
01:28:49,000 --> 01:28:51,159
go with Cody and Punk at Summer Slam, I mean, look,

1508
01:28:51,199 --> 01:28:54,079
that's a big match to do. I can understand them

1509
01:28:54,079 --> 01:29:01,159
wanting to do it. Our cook one. What sense does

1510
01:29:01,159 --> 01:29:04,479
it make to have a SmackDown title match on Raw?

1511
01:29:06,039 --> 01:29:08,159
It just goes to everything I was just saying. Where

1512
01:29:10,319 --> 01:29:15,279
in WWE they don't sweat the small details. To them,

1513
01:29:15,319 --> 01:29:17,640
it doesn't matter. That's why we have guys going back

1514
01:29:17,680 --> 01:29:21,319
and forth constantly between the two shows. There's no rules

1515
01:29:21,359 --> 01:29:26,159
that they enforce. We just had a King of the

1516
01:29:26,199 --> 01:29:28,239
Ring tournament where the winner was supposed to get a

1517
01:29:28,319 --> 01:29:33,199
championship match of their choosing at Summer Slam, not a

1518
01:29:33,279 --> 01:29:37,319
championship match of their choosing period, a championship match at

1519
01:29:37,399 --> 01:29:41,880
Summer Slam, And evidently they knew going into it that

1520
01:29:41,960 --> 01:29:44,840
they wanted o But to win, but not give him

1521
01:29:44,840 --> 01:29:49,359
the title match. They don't give a shit, they don't care,

1522
01:29:52,119 --> 01:29:54,720
they don't care. Why Sometimes do we have a referee,

1523
01:29:54,760 --> 01:29:57,199
a second referee run out because someone had their foot

1524
01:29:57,239 --> 01:29:59,880
on the rope or someone cheated, and a second referee

1525
01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:01,880
come out to tell the first referee, and the first

1526
01:30:01,920 --> 01:30:05,960
referee goes ahead and continues the match or reverses the decision.

1527
01:30:07,039 --> 01:30:10,680
But then other times, oh, the referee's decision is final. Well,

1528
01:30:10,680 --> 01:30:14,279
which is it? Is the referee's decision final or not?

1529
01:30:15,239 --> 01:30:20,159
I don't know. It's it's just whatever's convenient for them

1530
01:30:20,199 --> 01:30:24,000
in the moment. They don't give a shit, they don't care.

1531
01:30:25,239 --> 01:30:27,439
To them, it doesn't affect their bottom line, so they

1532
01:30:27,479 --> 01:30:32,720
can they can just pretty much do whatever they want. Yeah,

1533
01:30:33,199 --> 01:30:37,640
king of the bank. It's king of the bank. Now.

1534
01:30:40,359 --> 01:30:42,680
The only difference is Oba can't like I don't think,

1535
01:30:42,720 --> 01:30:44,359
I mean, I shouldn't say, I don't know, but like

1536
01:30:44,359 --> 01:30:47,720
Oba can't literally cash it in like any time he wants.

1537
01:30:48,600 --> 01:30:50,479
But he'll be able to basically just go to the

1538
01:30:50,520 --> 01:30:52,159
GM and say, you know what, I think I'm ready

1539
01:30:52,159 --> 01:30:55,600
for that title match. Let's do it at Survivor Series.

1540
01:30:55,640 --> 01:30:59,880
I'm ready, let's do it at the Rumble. I have

1541
01:31:00,159 --> 01:31:02,119
expect them to just forget about it at this point

1542
01:31:02,119 --> 01:31:04,479
and just have Oba win the Rumble and then he'll

1543
01:31:04,520 --> 01:31:07,279
just go to WrestleMania anyway to challenge for the title.

1544
01:31:10,119 --> 01:31:14,279
Brandon Proctor actually super Pony. Super Pony says Mike Ko

1545
01:31:14,399 --> 01:31:17,560
versus Sammy prediction has come true now, or has to

1546
01:31:17,560 --> 01:31:22,119
come true now, has to come true now. If that's

1547
01:31:22,159 --> 01:31:24,399
not the match at Summer Slim, Sammy won't be on

1548
01:31:24,439 --> 01:31:28,359
the show. There's nothing else for him to do. Yeah,

1549
01:31:28,399 --> 01:31:32,560
I just I just said, like, if he loses that

1550
01:31:32,600 --> 01:31:35,199
title on Monday, unless you keep him in that mix

1551
01:31:35,359 --> 01:31:38,920
and do a triple threat, there is no other obvious

1552
01:31:39,000 --> 01:31:42,680
role for him at Summer Slim. There's no other title

1553
01:31:42,720 --> 01:31:44,520
for him to challenge for. And so if he's not

1554
01:31:44,560 --> 01:31:47,479
in a title match, it would be a regular singles match.

1555
01:31:48,640 --> 01:31:51,760
And what regular singles match would there even be for

1556
01:31:51,920 --> 01:31:56,319
him on that show? What would that be? Now? Now,

1557
01:31:56,359 --> 01:32:00,520
we had a segment and it may be inative of

1558
01:32:00,560 --> 01:32:06,279
absolutely nothing. But when Chad Gable came back to Ron

1559
01:32:06,399 --> 01:32:09,640
SmackDown after the Mask versus Mask match, the first time

1560
01:32:09,680 --> 01:32:13,479
we saw him on TV was backstage at SmackDown, and

1561
01:32:13,560 --> 01:32:15,479
the first person that he had a little face to

1562
01:32:15,479 --> 01:32:19,920
face interaction with was Sammy's ain't They literally came face

1563
01:32:19,960 --> 01:32:24,079
to face and it was very brief. I don't know.

1564
01:32:24,159 --> 01:32:28,199
Maybe they revisit that they're on different brands though, so again,

1565
01:32:28,239 --> 01:32:29,880
that doesn't make a whole lot of sense, but that

1566
01:32:30,439 --> 01:32:36,640
never stopped them from doing that before, so who knows. Yeah,

1567
01:32:36,680 --> 01:32:39,199
I mean, if Chad's not wrestling for the Icy title,

1568
01:32:39,880 --> 01:32:42,359
super Pony, I agree, I mean, what the fuck are

1569
01:32:42,359 --> 01:32:46,159
we doing here? I half expected to be a multiman

1570
01:32:46,239 --> 01:32:47,920
match at this point, so it wouldn't even just be

1571
01:32:48,000 --> 01:32:49,760
Chad and Penta, which I think it should be just

1572
01:32:49,840 --> 01:32:53,279
Chad and Penta, but they'll probably throw everybody in. Then

1573
01:32:53,319 --> 01:32:55,920
they'll have Chad, they'll have Penta, they'll have Russev, they'll

1574
01:32:55,960 --> 01:32:58,560
have Ethan Page, they'll have McDonough. Well, we'll just put

1575
01:32:58,760 --> 01:33:01,760
Dragon Lee, We'll just put every buddy and the Raymistereo.

1576
01:33:05,239 --> 01:33:08,560
Brandon says, we don't get enough learning tree these days.

1577
01:33:09,560 --> 01:33:13,159
Thanks guys. In all seriousness, I hope Sammy is champion

1578
01:33:13,279 --> 01:33:15,920
until Summer Slam, but I won't hold my breath at

1579
01:33:15,920 --> 01:33:17,640
this point. Well that's good. I don't want you to

1580
01:33:17,760 --> 01:33:22,880
because if you do, you'll probably die. Do not hold

1581
01:33:22,920 --> 01:33:25,600
your breath when it comes to WWE booking. It is

1582
01:33:25,640 --> 01:33:29,359
bad for your health. Venom Ktetsu with the twenty five

1583
01:33:29,600 --> 01:33:32,359
happy Fourth of July weekend. My dude, hope the AC

1584
01:33:32,520 --> 01:33:35,800
gets fixed sooner than later. I hope it fixes itself.

1585
01:33:35,840 --> 01:33:41,760
I'm just kind of hoping that the compressor switched off

1586
01:33:41,800 --> 01:33:46,560
because it was just so hot. I think they're built

1587
01:33:46,600 --> 01:33:51,560
to maybe do that automatically if they overheat, or because

1588
01:33:51,600 --> 01:33:54,760
I don't think these like these window and wall air conditioners,

1589
01:33:54,760 --> 01:33:57,000
we're not talking about central air here, Like, I don't

1590
01:33:57,000 --> 01:34:01,279
think these units were really designed for this kind of heat.

1591
01:34:02,439 --> 01:34:05,560
I could be wrong, so I'm hoping that it's just

1592
01:34:05,720 --> 01:34:08,279
kind of a temporary thing. I already paid four hundred

1593
01:34:08,279 --> 01:34:11,479
and fifty bucks to fix it. It was either try

1594
01:34:11,520 --> 01:34:13,239
to fix it for four point fifty or buy a

1595
01:34:13,239 --> 01:34:19,000
new one for sixteen hundred dollars. That's how much it

1596
01:34:19,039 --> 01:34:21,439
would it cost for the same one. By the way,

1597
01:34:21,640 --> 01:34:26,880
it's the same exactly air conditioner. Those were my options.

1598
01:34:27,359 --> 01:34:29,840
I said, I think we'll try to fix it. Let's

1599
01:34:29,880 --> 01:34:36,159
do that. So on May nineteenth, they reinstalled it and

1600
01:34:36,199 --> 01:34:40,039
it's worked fine ever since until today when it was

1601
01:34:40,079 --> 01:34:46,800
one hundred degrees outside and then it stopped. Said, did

1602
01:34:46,840 --> 01:34:52,000
you catch Stevie Richards and Peanuts Peanuts Show talking about

1603
01:34:52,000 --> 01:34:57,119
how the Rains and Rollins promo felt more like a

1604
01:34:57,119 --> 01:35:00,399
go home angle to a pay per view than a

1605
01:35:00,439 --> 01:35:05,119
feud starter. Well, it's not really a it's not a

1606
01:35:05,159 --> 01:35:08,760
feud starter. I mean, my god, they've been feuding off

1607
01:35:08,800 --> 01:35:11,520
and on for years. I didn't look at it as

1608
01:35:11,560 --> 01:35:15,079
a feud starter. I looked at it as, Okay, we're

1609
01:35:15,239 --> 01:35:18,800
we're revisiting something that kind of was left open ended,

1610
01:35:19,680 --> 01:35:23,479
and now it's time to end it. Rolin said it

1611
01:35:23,479 --> 01:35:26,439
in his promo, this may be the last time, you know,

1612
01:35:26,439 --> 01:35:28,439
they're they're closer to the end than the beginning. This

1613
01:35:28,560 --> 01:35:34,000
may be their last time to dance together. So I

1614
01:35:34,359 --> 01:35:37,479
didn't I didn't look at it as a feud starter.

1615
01:35:42,600 --> 01:35:44,399
As far as it being more like a go home

1616
01:35:44,439 --> 01:35:46,079
angle to a paper, I mean, I could see that,

1617
01:35:46,159 --> 01:35:49,840
I could see where they would have felt that way,

1618
01:35:51,840 --> 01:35:55,119
but it's it's definitely not a feud starter with these two.

1619
01:35:55,319 --> 01:36:02,880
I've been feuding for fucking how many years now? Yes,

1620
01:36:03,239 --> 01:36:10,119
sixteen hundred dollars for an ac I said, I said

1621
01:36:10,199 --> 01:36:12,319
May nineteenth. I only said it once, though, I guess

1622
01:36:12,319 --> 01:36:18,640
that's twice. No debt sith. I was thinking, what if

1623
01:36:18,760 --> 01:36:22,479
MJF actually beats Omega next week? Then Kenny convinces MJF

1624
01:36:22,520 --> 01:36:25,159
to give him one more shot than MJF agrees, but

1625
01:36:25,279 --> 01:36:28,920
under one condition and says that Redemption, when I beat you,

1626
01:36:28,920 --> 01:36:33,880
your career is finished. Yeah, I don't. I just don't

1627
01:36:33,920 --> 01:36:36,239
like this idea that we're gonna do MJF and Kenny

1628
01:36:36,239 --> 01:36:38,520
OMEGANX Wednesday and then we're just gonna run it back

1629
01:36:38,560 --> 01:36:41,720
again at Redemption. I don't know why they're doing this.

1630
01:36:42,039 --> 01:36:45,800
It's very weird. I don't know why they're doing this.

1631
01:36:46,000 --> 01:36:50,279
We already saw it once this year, and so Redemption

1632
01:36:50,439 --> 01:36:57,479
was the obvious place to do it in Montreal. So

1633
01:36:57,560 --> 01:37:01,399
they're gonna do it on Wednesday and then probably run

1634
01:37:01,439 --> 01:37:06,039
it back again, whether it's Kenny defending or MJF defending

1635
01:37:06,079 --> 01:37:08,880
for a second time. It's like, why are you doing

1636
01:37:08,920 --> 01:37:11,000
it twice in one month? Why would you do that?

1637
01:37:12,600 --> 01:37:14,119
Just save it for the pay per view. I'm hoping

1638
01:37:14,119 --> 01:37:19,159
after Wednesday it'll all make sense. Takeshta and Fletcher just

1639
01:37:19,199 --> 01:37:21,880
being randomly announced for Beach Break next week. At least

1640
01:37:21,920 --> 01:37:24,159
I can understand that because Takesha is about to go

1641
01:37:24,199 --> 01:37:26,359
to Japan for an entire month. He's in the g one.

1642
01:37:26,800 --> 01:37:31,159
He's not going to be at Redemption, so this is

1643
01:37:31,199 --> 01:37:34,880
it for him. Probably gonna take the belt off of

1644
01:37:34,960 --> 01:37:36,800
him and then when he comes back, he'll fight to

1645
01:37:36,800 --> 01:37:42,279
get it back. That would be my guess, be Man

1646
01:37:42,319 --> 01:37:44,960
the champ. I guess Corey for good that Samy's held

1647
01:37:44,960 --> 01:37:48,359
other titles because he said that this is the first

1648
01:37:48,359 --> 01:37:52,800
time he's been the hunted, like no one wanted the

1649
01:37:52,840 --> 01:37:55,439
titles that he had before. Well, I mean to be fair,

1650
01:37:55,640 --> 01:37:59,640
at the time he held the Intercontinental title, I think

1651
01:37:59,680 --> 01:38:02,199
that well he had he had it three times, but

1652
01:38:02,279 --> 01:38:03,880
like there were different points where he would have been

1653
01:38:03,880 --> 01:38:08,720
the Intercommental champion where that championship really didn't mean much.

1654
01:38:10,199 --> 01:38:12,439
But when he was the US champion last year doing

1655
01:38:12,479 --> 01:38:16,960
the open Challenge stuff, that was everybody was fighting for

1656
01:38:16,960 --> 01:38:19,000
that belt. Man, it was a pretty coveted belt. I

1657
01:38:19,000 --> 01:38:22,720
would say, yeah, they kind of buried their other championships

1658
01:38:23,000 --> 01:38:33,000
by saying that we got death Sithe with a bomb.

1659
01:38:36,680 --> 01:38:42,199
Since WrestleMania forty three is in Saudi how much money

1660
01:38:42,199 --> 01:38:45,039
do you think WWE is gonna throw at Steve Austin

1661
01:38:45,399 --> 01:38:50,399
to do one more match, possibly with cmpunk. We can't

1662
01:38:50,479 --> 01:38:54,199
rule out that possibility since they want that show loaded.

1663
01:38:54,319 --> 01:38:58,119
If by some chance it happens, how would you book it.

1664
01:39:00,840 --> 01:39:03,359
I don't think you need to do much. It's the battle.

1665
01:39:03,600 --> 01:39:07,920
Just let them battle in the lead up to the

1666
01:39:07,920 --> 01:39:10,880
show on the mic and their promos basically just cutting

1667
01:39:10,880 --> 01:39:13,199
promos on how one is better than the other. Punk's

1668
01:39:13,199 --> 01:39:16,560
whole shtick is best in the world. Austin's thing is

1669
01:39:17,600 --> 01:39:19,319
the best of all time. Some people look at him

1670
01:39:19,319 --> 01:39:21,079
as the best of all time. Right, it's the best

1671
01:39:21,119 --> 01:39:22,720
in the world against the best of all time. They

1672
01:39:22,760 --> 01:39:26,560
could even brand it that way. For me, I mean,

1673
01:39:26,600 --> 01:39:32,159
that ship sailed a long time ago, and Austin seems

1674
01:39:32,319 --> 01:39:36,079
very content in retirement with his cats and his cars

1675
01:39:37,079 --> 01:39:44,159
and on his ranch doing his thing. And you know,

1676
01:39:44,199 --> 01:39:46,039
he got back in the ring at thirty eight against

1677
01:39:46,079 --> 01:39:48,800
Kevin Owens, and I think that was a great sendoff

1678
01:39:49,079 --> 01:39:53,000
in the same city where his career started. I think

1679
01:39:53,000 --> 01:39:56,720
for the right money, anybody will come out of retirement

1680
01:39:56,760 --> 01:40:00,239
and wrestle if you throw enough money at them. Can't

1681
01:40:00,239 --> 01:40:06,880
tell you it's not absolutely positively gonna happen. No way.

1682
01:40:08,039 --> 01:40:09,760
I don't think it needs to be done. I think

1683
01:40:09,760 --> 01:40:11,920
that ship it's like Undertaker and Sting. You just get

1684
01:40:11,960 --> 01:40:14,119
to a point where there was a point in which

1685
01:40:15,680 --> 01:40:17,479
maybe it still could have happened, but it was like

1686
01:40:18,199 --> 01:40:22,159
it's it's over, like the time passed. You gotta let

1687
01:40:22,159 --> 01:40:24,800
it go. It's not gonna be what it could have been.

1688
01:40:32,359 --> 01:40:36,399
Randy Bobandy, thank you again for that fifty dollars bomb.

1689
01:40:36,800 --> 01:40:49,239
Just showing love O message be Man the champ Boys.

1690
01:40:49,279 --> 01:40:52,680
Saturday Night's main event seems like it's shaping up to

1691
01:40:52,720 --> 01:40:57,159
be a weekly main event show. Sounds like a must miss.

1692
01:40:57,920 --> 01:40:59,680
You mean you don't want to see Jalen Brunson in

1693
01:40:59,720 --> 01:41:03,119
the co owner of Dan Housen, Saturday Night's main event

1694
01:41:03,159 --> 01:41:06,560
is largely amiss now once they took it off NBC,

1695
01:41:07,760 --> 01:41:10,439
it's like it killed their libido. They have no reason

1696
01:41:10,479 --> 01:41:13,600
to perform anymore. They've lost all their mojo now that

1697
01:41:13,640 --> 01:41:15,640
it's not on TV anymore. It's just they got to

1698
01:41:15,680 --> 01:41:19,960
fulfill the Peacock contract. By doing these, they took away

1699
01:41:20,000 --> 01:41:22,039
a lot of the retro elements. Some of them are

1700
01:41:22,039 --> 01:41:23,479
still there. A lot of them are gone. They don't

1701
01:41:23,479 --> 01:41:26,920
even bring Ventura in anymore. Whatever charm the show had

1702
01:41:27,000 --> 01:41:31,000
is fucking gone. They have some other garbage theme now

1703
01:41:31,000 --> 01:41:35,039
that they're using for it. They still have the microphone

1704
01:41:35,079 --> 01:41:38,079
that they lower though from the ceiling, which actually will

1705
01:41:38,119 --> 01:41:42,199
be appropriated this next show because that's the old Madison

1706
01:41:42,239 --> 01:41:45,039
Square Garden microphone they used to lower for like Howard Finkel,

1707
01:41:45,039 --> 01:41:47,399
and they're back at Madison Square Garden for this show.

1708
01:41:48,479 --> 01:41:49,880
So I kind of feel like if there was ever

1709
01:41:49,920 --> 01:41:53,680
a time to really emphasize those retro elements again, this

1710
01:41:53,760 --> 01:42:01,840
is the show to do it. Ossi of Steele. Hypothetically,

1711
01:42:01,960 --> 01:42:04,680
let's say we get Ria JC at SummerSlam. Do you

1712
01:42:04,720 --> 01:42:12,159
belt j c Up? I say yes. I don't think

1713
01:42:12,159 --> 01:42:15,279
she's been established enough yet. I don't mind them doing

1714
01:42:15,319 --> 01:42:18,479
the match. I just I don't know that I feel

1715
01:42:18,479 --> 01:42:24,159
like now is the right time, especially if they are

1716
01:42:24,159 --> 01:42:28,039
going to do another Crown Jewel show let's say in October,

1717
01:42:29,600 --> 01:42:31,720
I would think that they would want a bigger name

1718
01:42:31,760 --> 01:42:35,880
in that match. I e Rea to wrestle whoever the

1719
01:42:35,960 --> 01:42:38,720
raw champion would be, which by the way, could very

1720
01:42:38,720 --> 01:42:42,199
well be Eo Sky. So you are potentially setting up

1721
01:42:42,199 --> 01:42:44,239
a match for Crown Jewel where we get Ria in

1722
01:42:44,359 --> 01:42:48,800
EO non title, but they have the story of Rhea's

1723
01:42:48,840 --> 01:42:51,199
never been able to be d O and then she

1724
01:42:51,199 --> 01:42:54,159
could finally go in there and be too right. So

1725
01:42:54,319 --> 01:42:56,239
you have that story that you could tell. It's a

1726
01:42:56,239 --> 01:42:58,800
lot more powerful than just j C. Jayne going in

1727
01:42:58,840 --> 01:43:03,520
there as the SmackDown Women's Champion. So I mean, I'm

1728
01:43:03,560 --> 01:43:06,119
all in on JC eventually winning the belt. I don't

1729
01:43:06,159 --> 01:43:09,920
know that SummerSlam is the best time for it. I

1730
01:43:09,920 --> 01:43:12,960
think you got to wait a little longer because they really,

1731
01:43:13,079 --> 01:43:14,760
if you think about it, they really haven't done much

1732
01:43:14,800 --> 01:43:18,960
with her. You know, she came in and I like

1733
01:43:19,039 --> 01:43:22,880
the way that they debuted them, and then they've really

1734
01:43:22,960 --> 01:43:27,039
cooled fatal influence down a lot since then. Reea is

1735
01:43:27,079 --> 01:43:29,119
not even around right now because she's still trying to

1736
01:43:29,119 --> 01:43:31,560
get better. If she gets healthy, we don't even know

1737
01:43:31,600 --> 01:43:33,479
when she'll be back on TV. Can you imagine if

1738
01:43:33,520 --> 01:43:35,279
Ria is not ready to come back until two weeks

1739
01:43:35,319 --> 01:43:38,840
before SummerSlam. So she hasn't even been around, and now

1740
01:43:38,840 --> 01:43:41,119
you're putting her in there against somebody who's unproven in

1741
01:43:41,159 --> 01:43:45,760
that spot on SmackDown, who's still basically a new beet

1742
01:43:45,760 --> 01:43:48,720
and hasn't even really racked up all that many wins

1743
01:43:48,720 --> 01:43:53,760
on TV. Doesn't seem like the right time to me.

1744
01:43:57,399 --> 01:44:02,680
MGM ballin with a nine nine, says Hope. Tony Soprano

1745
01:44:02,800 --> 01:44:05,239
was included in the updates. His curb stump is more

1746
01:44:05,279 --> 01:44:07,920
devastating than Robin. Now, you know what I should That's

1747
01:44:07,920 --> 01:44:10,199
actually not a bad idea. I should put Tony Soprano

1748
01:44:11,159 --> 01:44:12,960
and al Bundy him be the booker. We should put

1749
01:44:13,000 --> 01:44:17,560
Tony Soprano in there. His curb stump was pretty devastating.

1750
01:44:17,640 --> 01:44:25,119
He is not in there though. Nick Grossoa and Talatoga

1751
01:44:25,239 --> 01:44:28,520
keep mentioning the elders. Maybe it's leading to Roman's bloodline

1752
01:44:28,560 --> 01:44:35,520
against the elders. And oh my god, why in war

1753
01:44:35,640 --> 01:44:39,680
Games later this year? Oh god, loll he should put lol.

1754
01:44:39,760 --> 01:44:42,079
I was I thought you were being serious. I was

1755
01:44:42,119 --> 01:44:45,680
about to throw you right out of here. Roman's blood

1756
01:44:45,760 --> 01:44:50,000
line against the elders. Roman is the elder at this point.

1757
01:44:52,479 --> 01:44:55,039
You look at Roman when he first came in, bright

1758
01:44:55,039 --> 01:44:56,960
eyed and bushy tailed. You look at him now and

1759
01:44:57,000 --> 01:45:00,640
he looks he looks like the elder now and some shit,

1760
01:45:03,800 --> 01:45:08,159
Francis Loop newsflash, my world is on ring of Honor

1761
01:45:08,199 --> 01:45:14,159
TV tonight. Ring of Honor does not have TV. They

1762
01:45:14,199 --> 01:45:17,920
have a streaming show. Mayo World needs to be on

1763
01:45:17,960 --> 01:45:21,119
Collision as she was this week, and she needs to

1764
01:45:21,159 --> 01:45:25,119
be on Dynamite. That's where she needs to be. She'll

1765
01:45:25,159 --> 01:45:26,800
be on Dynamite next week. As a matter of fact,

1766
01:45:26,840 --> 01:45:28,800
she's gonna be in that women's Gauntlet. I believe it's

1767
01:45:28,800 --> 01:45:31,920
Athena and My World starting the Gauntlet at number one

1768
01:45:31,920 --> 01:45:37,720
and number two. Devin from NJ two thousand. Why doesn't

1769
01:45:37,760 --> 01:45:40,840
bron Breaker or Jacob Fatu have the same protective booking

1770
01:45:40,840 --> 01:45:44,359
as Oba. Why is WWE allergic to pushing more than

1771
01:45:44,359 --> 01:45:46,479
one person at a time to be their top star

1772
01:45:48,079 --> 01:45:51,039
because they're focused on Oba being the top guy right now.

1773
01:45:52,119 --> 01:45:55,920
You can only focus on one at a time. You

1774
01:45:56,000 --> 01:46:00,279
also can't give everybody the Brock push or the Oba push.

1775
01:46:00,760 --> 01:46:02,680
That is something that you really do want to say

1776
01:46:02,840 --> 01:46:08,000
for someone special who you have more immediate, big plans for.

1777
01:46:09,960 --> 01:46:12,399
Can't do that with everybody. And by the way, you

1778
01:46:12,439 --> 01:46:17,319
can book people strong and protect them even if they're

1779
01:46:17,359 --> 01:46:21,159
not getting the Obafemi push. There's different ways of like

1780
01:46:21,199 --> 01:46:25,079
booking people strong, but beating Jacob faught to twice in

1781
01:46:25,159 --> 01:46:27,399
the same month is not how you book somebody strong.

1782
01:46:28,319 --> 01:46:31,039
Having bron Breaker lose his few to seth Rollins is

1783
01:46:31,039 --> 01:46:36,279
not how you book someone strong super pony with a

1784
01:46:36,359 --> 01:46:38,439
nine ninety nine. God forbid they let Sammy hold the

1785
01:46:38,439 --> 01:46:42,600
belt until Summer Slim and drop it to Punk. That's

1786
01:46:42,640 --> 01:46:45,880
too much to ask for. God for Big Cody sit

1787
01:46:45,960 --> 01:46:48,880
out one major plee, because if that happens, the world

1788
01:46:49,000 --> 01:46:52,800
will end. Cody's their guy. They're not leaving him off

1789
01:46:52,800 --> 01:46:55,399
Summer Slim, and nobody should have expected that Cody was

1790
01:46:55,439 --> 01:46:59,199
going to be anywhere other than the main event at SummerSlam.

1791
01:47:00,439 --> 01:47:01,960
It was always going to be in one of the

1792
01:47:01,960 --> 01:47:12,840
two main events. Ron talks table top with a ten.

1793
01:47:13,119 --> 01:47:16,520
Too busy watching great FIFA World Cup action and playing

1794
01:47:16,560 --> 01:47:19,560
games to watch SmackDown. Felt like I missed nothing. You

1795
01:47:19,600 --> 01:47:24,520
miss nothing. You missed absolutely nothing. That's why I'm here

1796
01:47:24,560 --> 01:47:28,800
to fill you in death, Sithe says in horror, which

1797
01:47:28,840 --> 01:47:33,159
is worse the killer or the monster slowly heading towards you,

1798
01:47:34,680 --> 01:47:37,800
or them appearing out of nowhere to give you a

1799
01:47:37,800 --> 01:47:45,520
big fat boo. I kind of feel like it's I mean,

1800
01:47:45,520 --> 01:47:48,600
the jump scares. Of course, the jump scares can get

1801
01:47:48,640 --> 01:47:52,159
to you. But I kind of feel like it's that

1802
01:47:53,800 --> 01:47:56,600
moment where let's say the monster is kind of stalking

1803
01:47:56,680 --> 01:47:59,920
towards you, or you see Jason Vorhees or Michael Myers

1804
01:48:00,039 --> 01:48:02,399
and they're coming towards you, right that moment of dread.

1805
01:48:03,000 --> 01:48:06,880
I feel like if I was in that position, that

1806
01:48:06,920 --> 01:48:10,039
would be worse, the anticipation that I'm about to get killed,

1807
01:48:11,840 --> 01:48:13,840
as opposed to just popping out of nowhere and just

1808
01:48:13,880 --> 01:48:18,039
doing it. I feel like the first one would be worse.

1809
01:48:23,399 --> 01:48:25,520
Nick Rosso with a nineteen ninety now one idea for

1810
01:48:25,560 --> 01:48:28,039
the title match on Monday, Punk comes out for commentary,

1811
01:48:28,119 --> 01:48:30,920
Sammy gets mad, provokes him, causing Punk to hit Zane

1812
01:48:30,960 --> 01:48:34,600
in front of the referee, causing a d Q, which

1813
01:48:34,680 --> 01:48:38,319
upsets Cody and he gets in Punk's face, and then

1814
01:48:38,359 --> 01:48:40,600
we get a three way at Summer Slim, you could

1815
01:48:40,600 --> 01:48:42,079
do that. Punk would have to come out at the

1816
01:48:42,079 --> 01:48:47,000
beginning of the show as a surprise instead of saving

1817
01:48:47,079 --> 01:48:49,039
him as a surprise for the very end of the show.

1818
01:48:50,760 --> 01:48:53,239
You could do that. That would if you wanted to

1819
01:48:53,359 --> 01:48:56,680
get to a triple thread, then there's no reason for

1820
01:48:58,399 --> 01:49:02,159
really Sammy not to go in as the champion, so

1821
01:49:02,479 --> 01:49:04,600
to keep the belt on him. You got to get creative.

1822
01:49:06,000 --> 01:49:09,439
How do we do this, you know, in a way

1823
01:49:09,479 --> 01:49:12,399
where we can get punk involved, and that would be

1824
01:49:12,399 --> 01:49:15,279
one way of doing that. Sammy feels like the title

1825
01:49:15,319 --> 01:49:18,479
is slipping away. He gets desperate and then you kind

1826
01:49:18,479 --> 01:49:21,039
of go into what you just suggested you could do that.

1827
01:49:25,600 --> 01:49:29,039
Death Side says, I watched Lake Placid for the first

1828
01:49:29,039 --> 01:49:31,720
time in years, and I gotta say this is I

1829
01:49:31,720 --> 01:49:35,000
gotta say this will always be the best crocodile horror movie.

1830
01:49:35,119 --> 01:49:40,399
Rest in Peace. Betty White. Yeah, that little role she

1831
01:49:40,439 --> 01:49:47,039
had in that movie. She was great, feeding the alligators,

1832
01:49:47,720 --> 01:49:55,199
getting them all big and fat. HEJ. Slamp Brett was

1833
01:49:55,239 --> 01:49:58,640
better looking, had better hair, a nicer smile, and did

1834
01:49:58,680 --> 01:50:03,720
more charity work than O Cogan, Do you agree. I

1835
01:50:03,760 --> 01:50:06,000
don't know that he did more charity work than Hogan.

1836
01:50:06,039 --> 01:50:08,600
Did a lot of make a Wish and charity stuff

1837
01:50:09,039 --> 01:50:13,720
at the height of Hulkamania, So I can't I can't

1838
01:50:13,760 --> 01:50:19,039
say that for sure. Was he better looking, That's not

1839
01:50:19,159 --> 01:50:22,279
for me to say. Did he have better hair, absolutely,

1840
01:50:26,000 --> 01:50:32,760
without a doubt. That site says John Cena went from

1841
01:50:33,000 --> 01:50:36,399
Helena Sale twenty eleven to WrestleMania twenty nine a year

1842
01:50:36,439 --> 01:50:39,520
and seven months without holding the top title. Roman Reigns

1843
01:50:39,560 --> 01:50:42,319
went from Money in the Bank twenty sixteen to SummerSlam

1844
01:50:42,439 --> 01:50:47,359
twenty eighteen, two years and two months without holding the

1845
01:50:47,399 --> 01:50:53,960
top title. Yeah, and if Cody did the same, he

1846
01:50:54,000 --> 01:50:58,039
would still be in a very good spot, right, But

1847
01:50:58,079 --> 01:51:01,800
they keep this whole QB one nonsense. They always have

1848
01:51:01,880 --> 01:51:06,199
him talking about QB one. QB one's got to be

1849
01:51:06,239 --> 01:51:08,439
in the title hunk. QB one's got to have the belt.

1850
01:51:09,479 --> 01:51:12,279
That's just their their philosophy, it's their way of doing things.

1851
01:51:12,319 --> 01:51:15,960
If Cody went six months without the championship, would it

1852
01:51:15,960 --> 01:51:18,720
really hurt him all that much? No? I actually feel

1853
01:51:18,720 --> 01:51:22,520
like it might help him. But it's almost like they're

1854
01:51:23,640 --> 01:51:26,079
not incapable because they did it with Punk and Drew.

1855
01:51:26,199 --> 01:51:30,079
But like it's hard for them to book a really

1856
01:51:30,119 --> 01:51:33,000
good feud that isn't based around the championship. But we

1857
01:51:33,039 --> 01:51:35,640
see this a lot in the mid card. We see

1858
01:51:35,640 --> 01:51:39,159
this a lot with the women if there's no title involved.

1859
01:51:39,199 --> 01:51:42,239
They don't know how to book a real feud, a

1860
01:51:42,319 --> 01:51:46,760
real feud that you can invest in. They just don't

1861
01:51:46,760 --> 01:51:50,760
know how. And it shouldn't be that hard. You just

1862
01:51:50,800 --> 01:51:53,479
got to come up with a story that can really

1863
01:51:53,520 --> 01:51:57,359
grab people. It doesn't always have to involve the championship,

1864
01:51:59,600 --> 01:52:01,600
but they do a very poor job of doing that.

1865
01:52:03,680 --> 01:52:05,760
Death Side says, So Cody Rhodes is not going to

1866
01:52:05,840 --> 01:52:09,079
crumble to dust if he went the same amount of

1867
01:52:09,079 --> 01:52:11,520
time without holding the top title. No, he will not.

1868
01:52:12,520 --> 01:52:19,079
He will not crumble into sta dust. See what I

1869
01:52:19,079 --> 01:52:22,359
did there? He also says, I mentioned Steve Austin earlier,

1870
01:52:22,439 --> 01:52:24,359
but I also have to mention the Rock which is

1871
01:52:24,399 --> 01:52:27,279
more like? Which is more likely? And if he ends

1872
01:52:27,359 --> 01:52:29,680
up having a match of WrestleMania of forty three, who

1873
01:52:29,680 --> 01:52:34,399
would you rather see him wrestle the most? Roman or Cody?

1874
01:52:34,600 --> 01:52:36,760
I would rather have him wrestle Roman, just so people

1875
01:52:36,840 --> 01:52:40,359
shut up about it already. Just give him their damn

1876
01:52:40,399 --> 01:52:43,560
match that they'll fucking shut up about this Rock and

1877
01:52:43,680 --> 01:52:50,199
Roman nonsense. Just get it over with. I also say Roman,

1878
01:52:50,239 --> 01:52:53,159
because then it doesn't have to involve the championship. If

1879
01:52:53,199 --> 01:52:56,760
Cody is involved, chances are Cody will be the champion.

1880
01:53:00,039 --> 01:53:03,359
And EJ. Slimp, What do you know about Joe McHugh,

1881
01:53:03,520 --> 01:53:08,399
the WWWF Allentown ring announcer. I kind of like him.

1882
01:53:08,479 --> 01:53:11,720
Why was Allentown used for so many tapings? It seems random.

1883
01:53:13,039 --> 01:53:15,079
I think they must have had some sort of deal

1884
01:53:16,399 --> 01:53:19,439
with the building. And they also, I mean, they were

1885
01:53:19,520 --> 01:53:21,680
running a lot of East Coast places back then, so

1886
01:53:21,720 --> 01:53:26,520
it wasn't just Allantown. They ran White Planes and you know, Boston,

1887
01:53:27,039 --> 01:53:29,720
but they would do these marathon TV tapings in Allentown,

1888
01:53:30,239 --> 01:53:34,119
so it was something about it was something about that venue.

1889
01:53:34,600 --> 01:53:37,640
I don't know too much about Joe McHugh, honestly, I

1890
01:53:37,640 --> 01:53:41,960
can't really. I don't really remember much about him, and

1891
01:53:42,000 --> 01:53:47,960
I can't tell you too much about him. He stumped

1892
01:53:47,960 --> 01:53:49,720
me on that. I may have to look more into

1893
01:53:51,439 --> 01:53:56,600
his work. And if you worked for any other promotions,

1894
01:53:58,119 --> 01:54:01,119
all right, Well, the like skull was smashed and the

1895
01:54:01,159 --> 01:54:06,479
bonus goal was smashed, which is awesome because that means

1896
01:54:06,520 --> 01:54:08,960
we get two rounds of be the booker, just like

1897
01:54:09,039 --> 01:54:12,119
we did the other night. What a great way to

1898
01:54:12,199 --> 01:54:15,199
ring in the fourth of July. Let's do it, ladies

1899
01:54:15,199 --> 01:54:19,079
and gentlemen, it is now time to be the booker.

1900
01:54:22,199 --> 01:54:26,199
Let's do it. And we still got a thousand people

1901
01:54:26,199 --> 01:54:28,640
in here to join us for it. Have I seen

1902
01:54:28,680 --> 01:54:31,920
the comedy horror twenty fifteen slasher movie The Final Girls?

1903
01:54:31,960 --> 01:54:37,800
I have not never heard of it. All right, here

1904
01:54:37,840 --> 01:54:40,800
we go be the booker tag team action going on. Here.

1905
01:54:40,840 --> 01:54:44,640
We're booking our own Saturday night's main event, That's what

1906
01:54:44,680 --> 01:54:48,840
we're doing. And we have got the Mean Street Posse,

1907
01:54:51,680 --> 01:55:01,199
Peak Gas, we got Rodney, and we got the fuck

1908
01:55:01,279 --> 01:55:05,880
is his name? Joey Abs? There you go. I'm staring

1909
01:55:05,920 --> 01:55:08,479
at his face and I'm like, the name is escaping me.

1910
01:55:11,319 --> 01:55:15,479
The Mean Street Posse. I enjoyed the Mean Street Posse.

1911
01:55:17,840 --> 01:55:20,640
What a great gimmick. And the Mean Street Posse is

1912
01:55:20,640 --> 01:55:24,840
gonna get their asses handed to them by the Midnight Express,

1913
01:55:25,439 --> 01:55:30,000
Sweet stand Lane and beautiful Bobby. I can't bring myself

1914
01:55:31,239 --> 01:55:35,920
to buzz the Midnight Express. If I do, Cordnet may

1915
01:55:35,920 --> 01:55:44,119
come after me from the mean streets of Greenwich, Connecticut.

1916
01:55:48,800 --> 01:55:54,359
All right, women's be the booker now, good squash you

1917
01:55:54,359 --> 01:55:58,600
mean the Midnight Express is gonna get squashed. We have

1918
01:55:59,039 --> 01:56:02,159
Becky Lynch. Where's Becky Lynch been? Becky Lynch is on

1919
01:56:02,199 --> 01:56:04,640
all these posters, and Becky Lynch is nowhere to be found.

1920
01:56:04,680 --> 01:56:07,039
Is Becky Lynch even gonna have a match at Summer Slim?

1921
01:56:07,079 --> 01:56:23,159
We don't know. Becky Lynch against two ooh, Becky Lynch

1922
01:56:23,239 --> 01:56:27,960
against Techla. See, now that's one of those inter promotional

1923
01:56:28,039 --> 01:56:32,920
matches that that would be very cool to see Becky

1924
01:56:33,039 --> 01:56:35,640
Lynch cutting promos on Techla tech TECHL. I feel like

1925
01:56:35,680 --> 01:56:43,520
we're just trounce her and Becky can be a good promo,

1926
01:56:43,560 --> 01:56:45,359
but Becky's gonna go into the hole. You know, I'm

1927
01:56:45,359 --> 01:56:46,920
not the only one saying. You don't have to take

1928
01:56:46,960 --> 01:56:50,399
my word for it. Sports Illustrated said it the bleacher

1929
01:56:50,560 --> 01:56:53,880
and Tecla would just be like, shot the fuck, like

1930
01:56:53,920 --> 01:56:58,399
she would just start cussing up a storm. Shut off,

1931
01:56:58,479 --> 01:57:05,600
you bitch when I'm speaking, that is that's a forbidden

1932
01:57:05,640 --> 01:57:09,479
door match. We just booked more of a forbidden door

1933
01:57:09,520 --> 01:57:11,960
match than we got frankly on most of the actual

1934
01:57:12,000 --> 01:57:16,119
forbidden door card this year. That is a forbidden door

1935
01:57:16,159 --> 01:57:21,800
match that people would like to see. And our first

1936
01:57:21,880 --> 01:57:26,399
of two main events tonight, let's see what we're dealing

1937
01:57:26,479 --> 01:57:32,319
with here. We have the viper Randy Orton, who totally

1938
01:57:33,319 --> 01:57:36,600
is not injured, and Dave Meltzer doesn't know what he's

1939
01:57:36,640 --> 01:57:40,279
talking about. Even though Randy Orton, when he responded to

1940
01:57:40,319 --> 01:57:43,840
those reports, if you paid any attention to it, never

1941
01:57:44,039 --> 01:57:48,520
actually refuted anything that Dave Meltzer said that kind of

1942
01:57:48,520 --> 01:57:51,239
got lost in the conversation there, and it just so

1943
01:57:51,319 --> 01:57:53,359
happens that Randy Orton is still nowhere to be found

1944
01:57:53,399 --> 01:57:55,680
after punt kicking Cody Roads in the head at WrestleMania.

1945
01:57:55,800 --> 01:57:57,680
But that totally has nothing to do with any kind

1946
01:57:57,680 --> 01:58:05,039
of injury. I'm sure sure. Well, guess what, Randy, you

1947
01:58:05,119 --> 01:58:07,239
may be hurt, but you have to come back to work.

1948
01:58:07,319 --> 01:58:09,880
So I am forcing him back into the ring and

1949
01:58:09,920 --> 01:58:11,920
in this main event he is going to be taking

1950
01:58:11,960 --> 01:58:20,920
on Tired Mike Tyson. That you may ask yourself, why

1951
01:58:20,920 --> 01:58:23,520
would I give that a bell? Because it's Randy Orton

1952
01:58:23,600 --> 01:58:28,079
against Mike Tyson. Even if it's tired Mike Tyson and

1953
01:58:28,119 --> 01:58:40,640
not iron Mike Tyson. That's a match that'll sell some tickets. Ah,

1954
01:58:40,800 --> 01:58:44,720
interesting card. Becky Lynch against Tekla is my favorite of

1955
01:58:44,760 --> 01:58:49,000
the bunch, but that is a that's a weird card.

1956
01:58:49,880 --> 01:58:51,960
It's about to get weirder though, because now we have

1957
01:58:52,039 --> 01:58:58,439
to pick some stipulations. It's about to get very wild

1958
01:58:58,560 --> 01:59:01,520
in here be the Booker. Not Wednesday, but it was

1959
01:59:01,560 --> 01:59:05,920
either Monday or maybe it was last Friday. Got very hardcore.

1960
01:59:06,600 --> 01:59:09,359
We had hardcore, we had Monster's Ball, we had all

1961
01:59:09,439 --> 01:59:14,239
kinds of just fucked up stipulations, So I am kind

1962
01:59:14,239 --> 01:59:17,640
of curious what we're gonna end up with here. We're

1963
01:59:17,680 --> 01:59:22,640
going to start with a casket match, and the problem

1964
01:59:22,760 --> 01:59:25,800
is I can't do a tag team casket match. It

1965
01:59:25,880 --> 01:59:29,079
just doesn't really work. So we're gonna start with the ladies.

1966
01:59:29,119 --> 01:59:32,880
This time. We're gonna have a women's casket match. How

1967
01:59:32,880 --> 01:59:37,359
does that sound? It was the Monday stream, Thank you, Ricky.

1968
01:59:37,760 --> 01:59:42,439
It was the Monday stream. We have Camille. Very appropriate

1969
01:59:42,479 --> 01:59:45,359
that Camille would be in a casket match, considering how

1970
01:59:45,359 --> 01:59:49,199
she has been buried in aw She has been buried

1971
01:59:49,239 --> 01:59:51,199
so deep we don't even know where she is anymore.

1972
01:59:54,239 --> 01:59:57,159
Her career belongs in a casket, so it's quite appropriate

1973
01:59:57,199 --> 02:00:00,520
that she would end up in this match. Let us

1974
02:00:00,560 --> 02:00:07,039
find out who her opponent is going to be. Is

1975
02:00:07,079 --> 02:00:12,800
going to be Camille against China, And you know, that

1976
02:00:13,039 --> 02:00:18,079
is a very interesting match because Camille's whole gimmick for

1977
02:00:18,239 --> 02:00:23,600
years when she was in the NWA was basically honestly

1978
02:00:23,800 --> 02:00:25,880
Nickol whatever the faction that nick all this had, it

1979
02:00:25,920 --> 02:00:30,039
was basically their version of China. She never spoke. She

1980
02:00:30,199 --> 02:00:34,159
was like the enforcer of the crew. A lot of

1981
02:00:34,159 --> 02:00:38,079
similarities between China and Camille from the early days of

1982
02:00:38,119 --> 02:00:51,159
that Camille character. I kind of liked that. Nope, HITCHI

1983
02:00:51,279 --> 02:00:54,159
trigger finger. I may have just jinxed it. I thought

1984
02:00:54,199 --> 02:00:57,960
we're headed for a double sweep, and I jumped the gun,

1985
02:00:58,000 --> 02:01:00,159
and now I feel like I may have drink it.

1986
02:01:02,840 --> 02:01:06,840
We're doing well so far, though, we got the first one.

1987
02:01:07,039 --> 02:01:10,239
Now we're gonna have ourselves a barroom brawl. But not

1988
02:01:10,319 --> 02:01:12,640
just any barroom brawl. We're gonna have a tag team

1989
02:01:13,199 --> 02:01:19,520
barroom brawl, because that's the next match here, a tag

1990
02:01:19,640 --> 02:01:25,880
team barroom brawl with Randy Orton. Man. Let me tell you,

1991
02:01:26,560 --> 02:01:29,960
this guy's back is in bad shape. I forced him

1992
02:01:30,000 --> 02:01:33,520
back into the ring against Mike Tyson of all people.

1993
02:01:34,920 --> 02:01:38,279
He's still recovering, and I'm like, get back to work.

1994
02:01:39,399 --> 02:01:42,560
You're gonna earn that contract. So now he's in a

1995
02:01:42,600 --> 02:01:48,119
tag team match and it's a barroom brawl of all things,

1996
02:01:48,800 --> 02:01:58,880
Randy Orton an edge. I'm trying to end this man's career. Oh,

1997
02:01:58,920 --> 02:02:03,399
I'm definitely gonna end this man's career against the macho man,

1998
02:02:03,560 --> 02:02:12,520
Randy Savage and the ultimate Warrior, the ultimate maniacs See.

1999
02:02:12,520 --> 02:02:15,560
I would imagine I see Randy Savage is somebody who

2000
02:02:15,800 --> 02:02:21,039
I could see as having a few barroom brawls back

2001
02:02:21,079 --> 02:02:27,399
in his day. The ultimate Warrior, I can't envision that.

2002
02:02:27,479 --> 02:02:30,880
I can't even envision the Warrior just kind of hanging

2003
02:02:30,960 --> 02:02:32,760
out at the bar like with the boys and stuff.

2004
02:02:32,800 --> 02:02:34,720
I don't know. I just he feels more of like

2005
02:02:34,760 --> 02:02:36,600
a loaner to me, based on all the stories that

2006
02:02:36,640 --> 02:02:42,479
people have told, young Randy Orton would probably just tear

2007
02:02:42,560 --> 02:02:50,039
up the bar and incur thousands of dollars in damage.

2008
02:02:50,159 --> 02:02:52,359
We're two for two so far. We may well be

2009
02:02:52,520 --> 02:02:58,640
heading or the rare double sweep doesn't happen very often.

2010
02:03:01,319 --> 02:03:03,039
Kind of match what we're gonna have. We're gonna have

2011
02:03:03,119 --> 02:03:08,079
a lions Den match. We're gonna enter the lions Den

2012
02:03:10,319 --> 02:03:13,359
and then we're gonna be reading the final superchats. So

2013
02:03:13,439 --> 02:03:16,600
if you have any messages to send, get them on in.

2014
02:03:17,000 --> 02:03:19,239
I'm here with you for as long as we got messages.

2015
02:03:21,319 --> 02:03:26,439
I'm gonna leave anyone and no man left behind. All right,

2016
02:03:27,319 --> 02:03:30,840
who's going into the lions Then it all comes down

2017
02:03:30,880 --> 02:03:36,520
to this. We have the tribal chief. Everyone put your

2018
02:03:36,520 --> 02:03:41,399
fingers in the air. It is Roman reigns for the

2019
02:03:41,439 --> 02:03:45,680
first time in his career is going to enter the Lions.

2020
02:03:45,800 --> 02:04:01,560
Then this is already a major main event here, Randy

2021
02:04:01,680 --> 02:04:10,720
Orton against Dave Bautista. Well, we did it, we got

2022
02:04:10,800 --> 02:04:15,520
the double sweep, we pulled it off. How are we

2023
02:04:15,520 --> 02:04:17,720
feeling about that main event? By the way, Randy Orton?

2024
02:04:18,279 --> 02:04:21,359
Not Randy Orton. Roman reigns against the Dave Batista in

2025
02:04:21,439 --> 02:04:26,159
a Lions then match who wins? Who wins the Lions?

2026
02:04:26,159 --> 02:04:46,359
Then that's the question. Drats the destroyer. Roman ain't beaten

2027
02:04:46,439 --> 02:04:54,800
the animal Dave Dras will kill a Roman. Wow. Roman

2028
02:04:54,840 --> 02:05:00,920
doesn't get a lot of votes here for this. Cameron

2029
02:05:01,000 --> 02:05:06,800
Spencer four ninety nine. Sanity is the goat stable of NXT,

2030
02:05:07,439 --> 02:05:11,600
slightly ahead of the Undisputed era. I'm a huge fan.

2031
02:05:12,760 --> 02:05:15,720
Talk about what Sanity meant to you and how they

2032
02:05:15,840 --> 02:05:21,880
entertained you weekly. I would if they actually entertained me weekly,

2033
02:05:21,920 --> 02:05:25,560
which they did not. I did not like Sanity. I

2034
02:05:25,600 --> 02:05:31,199
was not a Sanity fan. I I just wasn't a fan.

2035
02:05:32,720 --> 02:05:36,079
Got nothing against them. I think they were definitely screwed

2036
02:05:36,079 --> 02:05:38,119
over on the main roster. They were never really even

2037
02:05:38,159 --> 02:05:42,399
given a chance. They deserve that much, but I never

2038
02:05:42,479 --> 02:05:45,319
really I can't even say I hated them, but I

2039
02:05:45,399 --> 02:05:48,279
just I was not. I was not a big Sanity fan.

2040
02:05:50,159 --> 02:05:55,840
I'm glad you were, though, I just I can't. I

2041
02:05:55,880 --> 02:06:04,880
can't say the same. Eric Newton celebrating two months of

2042
02:06:05,039 --> 02:06:08,920
channel membership. When is the time for Triple H to

2043
02:06:09,039 --> 02:06:11,600
be fired? His booking is no better than Vince and

2044
02:06:11,640 --> 02:06:13,920
I'm really tired of the bloodline and the same shit

2045
02:06:14,039 --> 02:06:19,800
week after week. I think they're off their business peak.

2046
02:06:20,399 --> 02:06:23,439
They already peaked business wise, they already peaked. Ticket sales

2047
02:06:23,439 --> 02:06:27,600
are down. They're still very strong, but they're down, and

2048
02:06:27,680 --> 02:06:33,640
so it depends on how much further they decline. Right now,

2049
02:06:33,680 --> 02:06:37,439
I think his job is safe. If business really starts

2050
02:06:37,479 --> 02:06:39,720
to take more of a downturn, I feel like he

2051
02:06:40,920 --> 02:06:44,279
will be in the hot seat. You know, he, more

2052
02:06:44,319 --> 02:06:47,960
than Nick Con for example, would be the one to

2053
02:06:48,159 --> 02:06:51,439
fall first if anybody was going to fall, and he's not. Really,

2054
02:06:52,159 --> 02:06:55,239
He's not anywhere close to that right now. I can't

2055
02:06:55,239 --> 02:06:58,079
say that it won't happen at some point. This is

2056
02:06:58,079 --> 02:07:01,000
not a family owned business anymore. T KO runs the

2057
02:07:01,039 --> 02:07:05,000
show and Triple H is not grandfathered in there. If

2058
02:07:05,039 --> 02:07:07,840
they become dissatisfied with the job, he's doing. If the

2059
02:07:07,960 --> 02:07:11,800
numbers aren't reflecting the performance that they're looking for, he

2060
02:07:11,880 --> 02:07:14,560
may be out of a job at some point, but

2061
02:07:14,600 --> 02:07:20,039
the idea that he is going to be gone anytime soon. Look,

2062
02:07:20,079 --> 02:07:23,199
I'm not saying that the booking right now is not

2063
02:07:23,960 --> 02:07:32,840
very dull, boring, paint by numbers, over reliance on the bloodline,

2064
02:07:33,239 --> 02:07:35,920
all those things. Check check check, you're you're right about

2065
02:07:35,960 --> 02:07:40,199
all that stuff. What's it going to take though, It's

2066
02:07:40,199 --> 02:07:42,199
just going to take. It's going to take the numbers

2067
02:07:42,199 --> 02:07:45,079
going down right now. The numbers aren't going down enough

2068
02:07:45,359 --> 02:07:51,119
for them to make any kind of move. Uh, super pony.

2069
02:07:51,239 --> 02:07:53,640
Why would they have Randy punt Cody if they knew

2070
02:07:53,680 --> 02:07:56,000
he was hurt and would be going away for a while.

2071
02:07:56,039 --> 02:08:01,079
Do they not think before they do stuff? Yeah, I

2072
02:08:01,560 --> 02:08:05,560
don't know why they did that. Maybe they just didn't

2073
02:08:05,600 --> 02:08:09,920
know It's entirely possible they didn't know that his Let's

2074
02:08:09,920 --> 02:08:14,159
assume there is a back injury. It's possible they didn't

2075
02:08:14,199 --> 02:08:16,920
know how severe it was, so they wanted to kind

2076
02:08:16,920 --> 02:08:22,159
of keep the program alive by doing that. I saw

2077
02:08:22,199 --> 02:08:24,079
the punk kick and I said, Okay, well, Cody's got

2078
02:08:24,119 --> 02:08:26,039
to be off TV for a little bit and then

2079
02:08:26,079 --> 02:08:29,680
he wasn't, so even like right away, they basically just

2080
02:08:29,720 --> 02:08:33,560
disregarded the entire thing and Cody, Cody had a black eye,

2081
02:08:33,560 --> 02:08:35,319
but it wasn't, and they tried to make it like

2082
02:08:35,359 --> 02:08:37,119
it was from the punt kick. It wasn't. It was

2083
02:08:37,119 --> 02:08:39,640
from an errant punch that Orton had thrown at him.

2084
02:08:40,199 --> 02:08:43,159
They credited it to the punt kick, so it kind

2085
02:08:43,199 --> 02:08:46,720
of all worked out, but they basically ignored it, you know,

2086
02:08:47,039 --> 02:08:49,800
having Cody come back as if nothing really had happened,

2087
02:08:49,840 --> 02:08:57,239
and yeah, Orton hasn't even been mentioned since, so what

2088
02:08:57,399 --> 02:08:59,319
sense did it make. That's the only thing I could

2089
02:08:59,319 --> 02:09:01,880
think of is that they didn't realize that the injury,

2090
02:09:01,920 --> 02:09:04,159
if he has let's say a back injury, was as

2091
02:09:04,239 --> 02:09:06,079
severe as it was that he would have to be

2092
02:09:06,119 --> 02:09:11,359
out for an extended period of time. The punk kick

2093
02:09:11,439 --> 02:09:14,600
is like the tonguan death grip. Now it's useless. I look,

2094
02:09:15,119 --> 02:09:19,199
I still laugh about that, Like they work their asses

2095
02:09:19,239 --> 02:09:21,520
off to get that tongue in death grip over as

2096
02:09:21,560 --> 02:09:24,319
like this lethal maneuver, and to this day, I don't

2097
02:09:24,319 --> 02:09:26,680
believe Jacob Fatu has won a single match with the

2098
02:09:26,720 --> 02:09:31,960
tongue in death grip. But You're also dealing with a

2099
02:09:32,000 --> 02:09:34,479
company that doesn't think wins and losses matter anymore. So

2100
02:09:34,760 --> 02:09:41,039
that's kind of what happens. Uh. Don Stony Esquire shout

2101

fourth Sean Dee twenty nine months of channel membership. You

2104
02:10:04,560 --> 02:10:07,920
might as well add Randy the ram to macho man

2105
02:10:08,920 --> 02:10:12,119
Randy versus Randy. I should put Randy the ram and

2106
02:10:12,119 --> 02:10:13,880
be the booker, now that I think about it, Actually

2107
02:10:13,960 --> 02:10:17,279
that's not a bad idea. Maybe I will. Maybe I'll

2108
02:10:17,279 --> 02:10:20,920
put Randy the ram from the wrestler and be the booker.

2109
02:10:20,920 --> 02:10:25,600
What do you think? Gotta give him the uh, gotta

2110
02:10:25,640 --> 02:10:29,560
give him the ram, Jam Navy forty one eighty one.

2111
02:10:29,560 --> 02:10:32,279
Buy or sell Jeff Jarrett putting Beetlejuice in the figure

2112
02:10:32,319 --> 02:10:37,199
four leglock or Scott Steiner putting Beetlejuice in the Steiner recliner.

2113
02:10:38,199 --> 02:10:42,680
Neither neither. I'm gonna buy on Jeff Jarrett smashing a

2114
02:10:42,760 --> 02:10:49,439
guitar over Beetlejuice's head. Beetlejuice used to be about three

2115
02:10:49,520 --> 02:10:51,840
foot eleven, and then after Jeff smash him in the

2116
02:10:51,880 --> 02:10:53,760
head with the guitar. He was about three foot four.

2117
02:10:55,239 --> 02:10:57,960
E J. Slimp. Speaking of Batista, how many times have

2118
02:10:58,119 --> 02:11:02,119
you been asked that infamous you shoot Batista question via

2119
02:11:02,199 --> 02:11:10,600
email or on social media? Zero zero? Because I don't

2120
02:11:10,600 --> 02:11:14,520
have a good answer for you. I'm not clued in

2121
02:11:14,640 --> 02:11:16,680
on the answer to that question, nor do I care

2122
02:11:16,720 --> 02:11:19,279
to be. I'm the wrong person to be asking about that.

2123
02:11:22,079 --> 02:11:25,680
But it's a funny. I'm pretty sure it was a

2124
02:11:25,760 --> 02:11:29,479
you shoot. And I mean there have been some great

2125
02:11:30,079 --> 02:11:32,640
there have been some great you shoot moments in history,

2126
02:11:35,479 --> 02:11:39,119
but still my my all time favorite one, my my

2127
02:11:39,279 --> 02:11:45,079
all time favorite you shoot moment, UH was when Al

2128
02:11:45,159 --> 02:11:50,920
Snow was on and UH and the question came in

2129
02:11:51,119 --> 02:11:55,039
and it sounded like a very serious question at first,

2130
02:11:55,079 --> 02:12:00,760
and he said, you know you've you've commented before. I

2131
02:12:00,800 --> 02:12:02,000
don't want I don't want to I don't want to

2132
02:12:02,000 --> 02:12:03,600
bungle this. I want to look it up and I

2133
02:12:03,600 --> 02:12:07,880
want to make sure that I recite this exactly exactly

2134
02:12:07,920 --> 02:12:09,439
the way that it was written, because I think the

2135
02:12:09,600 --> 02:12:12,039
name it was a fake name, but like the name

2136
02:12:12,319 --> 02:12:17,840
that the person used also was kind of funny. I

2137
02:12:17,960 --> 02:12:19,479
want to make sure I do this the right way

2138
02:12:20,279 --> 02:12:25,319
it is. It is still the greatest. It's the greatest

2139
02:12:25,399 --> 02:12:31,600
question ever submitted in the history of you shoot. Let

2140
02:12:31,640 --> 02:12:43,439
me see here Neville Neville, South Hall from Merseyside, England

2141
02:12:44,880 --> 02:12:47,840
and al. You have been quoted as saying a good

2142
02:12:47,960 --> 02:12:51,680
match is one that draws, is the one that draws

2143
02:12:51,720 --> 02:12:56,399
the most money. By your own very logic, is it

2144
02:12:56,439 --> 02:12:58,600
fair to say that you haven't had a good match

2145
02:12:58,800 --> 02:13:05,119
in your entire career? I could not believe. And the

2146
02:13:05,199 --> 02:13:07,279
look on their face as they're kind of looking at

2147
02:13:07,319 --> 02:13:09,319
the screen as the question is like put on the

2148
02:13:09,319 --> 02:13:14,800
screen and they're reading it. That is the greatest question.

2149
02:13:15,720 --> 02:13:18,199
It is the greatest question of the history of you shoot.

2150
02:13:18,760 --> 02:13:21,720
I don't think there will ever be There will never

2151
02:13:21,800 --> 02:13:24,000
be a better question asked than one of those. I

2152
02:13:24,039 --> 02:13:27,199
don't even think he's doing the U shoots anymore, Sean Oliver,

2153
02:13:27,319 --> 02:13:32,960
But my god, it was so great. His reaction was

2154
02:13:33,039 --> 02:13:38,039
just so great. You've been quoted as saying a good

2155
02:13:38,159 --> 02:13:41,720
match is one that draws the most money. So by

2156
02:13:41,760 --> 02:13:44,000
your own logic, is it fair to say you've never

2157
02:13:44,079 --> 02:13:52,039
had a good match in your career? Holy shit? What

2158
02:13:52,199 --> 02:13:59,279
a question? Ah and Mikey Claiman says Are you going

2159
02:13:59,319 --> 02:14:01,520
to play the new Halloween game? Yeah? I think that

2160
02:14:01,600 --> 02:14:05,239
comes out in September. I would like to, I would

2161
02:14:05,279 --> 02:14:08,600
like to. I'm gonna say yes, We'll wait until it

2162
02:14:08,640 --> 02:14:11,960
comes out and see. But I saw the trailer for

2163
02:14:12,039 --> 02:14:19,760
it and it looks pretty good. Looks pretty good. So yeah,

2164
02:14:19,800 --> 02:14:23,479
now that's how you troll. That's right, That's that's what

2165
02:14:23,520 --> 02:14:27,159
you call a roast. Actually, you know what I was

2166
02:14:27,199 --> 02:14:30,800
gonna say, roasting. That's not a roasting. That's a that's

2167
02:14:30,800 --> 02:14:39,119
what that is. Forget the roasting. Halloween game. Yeah, there's

2168
02:14:39,159 --> 02:14:43,960
a Halloween. There's a Michael Myers Halloween game coming out. Yeah. Again,

2169
02:14:44,000 --> 02:14:46,520
I want to say, it's in September. Look it up.

2170
02:14:48,079 --> 02:14:53,960
Looks pretty good. Do you need some alo vera for

2171
02:14:54,039 --> 02:15:01,680
that burn? So the sound Off this weekend is episode

2172
02:15:01,760 --> 02:15:05,439
nine to seventy. That will be dropping as per usual

2173
02:15:05,520 --> 02:15:08,399
on Sunday afternoon, brand new episode of the SoundOff, And

2174
02:15:08,439 --> 02:15:13,319
then next week, I believe is a normal week. Right,

2175
02:15:13,359 --> 02:15:17,680
there's no more international shows, there's no more weird Wacky Times.

2176
02:15:18,479 --> 02:15:21,800
Raw Monday night is a big one in Chicago, the

2177
02:15:22,159 --> 02:15:27,079
likely return of cmpunk and possibly Sammy z Ain's final

2178
02:15:27,159 --> 02:15:31,279
night as the WWE Champion. Tuesday will be a brand

2179
02:15:31,279 --> 02:15:35,000
new on Crown, brand new TNT Wednesday. Actually, Wednesday's a

2180
02:15:35,000 --> 02:15:39,640
big dynamite. They're loading up that Beach Break episode. We

2181
02:15:39,720 --> 02:15:42,880
have Kenny Omega and mjf for the world title. We

2182
02:15:42,960 --> 02:15:46,520
have Takeshtan Fletcher for the International title. We have a

2183
02:15:46,560 --> 02:15:51,680
women's casino Gauntlet. We have Jericho and Champa. It's their

2184
02:15:51,680 --> 02:15:56,479
Beach Break show and they're at this interesting venue in Florida.

2185
02:15:56,640 --> 02:15:59,880
So I'm hoping that one of these matches is gonna

2186
02:16:00,039 --> 02:16:02,960
fill outside and maybe into a nearby body of water.

2187
02:16:03,039 --> 02:16:06,800
I don't know. We'll see Falcon Star. Go ahead, you

2188
02:16:06,880 --> 02:16:08,319
keep asking me, you can you ask me a question,

2189
02:16:08,439 --> 02:16:12,199
Just ask your question. So that's a big raw, it's

2190
02:16:12,239 --> 02:16:15,600
a big dynamite. And then SmackDown next week is back live.

2191
02:16:16,840 --> 02:16:19,399
I don't know if it's a big SmackDown, but yeah,

2192
02:16:19,439 --> 02:16:22,239
we should be hitting all of our usual streams, so

2193
02:16:24,760 --> 02:16:27,079
should be a big week. I'm hoping you guys come

2194
02:16:27,159 --> 02:16:29,640
up and show out. I want to have a I

2195
02:16:29,680 --> 02:16:33,639
want to blow June June was I don't know. I

2196
02:16:33,680 --> 02:16:36,120
felt oft in June. I want July to blow June

2197
02:16:36,159 --> 02:16:42,799
out of the water. That's what I'm hoping for anyway.

2198
02:16:44,360 --> 02:16:48,840
Falcon Star says, how you know? That was his question,

2199
02:16:48,920 --> 02:16:55,920
how you know? I just do? I know everything? All right?

2200
02:16:56,079 --> 02:16:58,280
There has been a great stream, a lot of fun,

2201
02:16:58,959 --> 02:17:02,120
great week. We had a great dynamite stream on Wednesday too.

2202
02:17:04,200 --> 02:17:06,559
I am going to get out of here. I'm going

2203
02:17:06,600 --> 02:17:11,280
to try to cool down here again. Be safe wherever

2204
02:17:11,319 --> 02:17:13,600
you may be, especially if you're in the heat, because

2205
02:17:14,280 --> 02:17:18,000
the heat can be fatal. So make sure you check

2206
02:17:18,040 --> 02:17:21,680
on elderly neighbors and family members if you have any.

2207
02:17:21,719 --> 02:17:24,479
It's very easy even for a non elderly person to

2208
02:17:24,520 --> 02:17:27,559
get dehydrated in this kind of weather. I was going

2209
02:17:27,600 --> 02:17:29,440
to go to the gym earlier today to do cardio.

2210
02:17:29,479 --> 02:17:30,959
I'm like, what are you out of your fucking mind.

2211
02:17:31,079 --> 02:17:33,280
I'm like, that would have been me. I would have

2212
02:17:33,280 --> 02:17:36,639
been passed that on the floor. So just stay safe

2213
02:17:36,840 --> 02:17:39,479
and hit that like button on your way out if

2214
02:17:39,520 --> 02:17:42,680
you have not already done so. Again. Channel memberships are open.

2215
02:17:42,760 --> 02:17:45,000
We picked up a bunch of new channel members this week.

2216
02:17:45,000 --> 02:17:49,520
I appreciate all of you new subscribers, and then join

2217
02:17:49,600 --> 02:17:52,639

2218
02:17:52,680 --> 02:17:57,239

02:17:57,840 --> 02:18:00,479

02:18:00,479 --> 02:18:02,559

2221
02:18:03,079 --> 02:18:03,680
