Speaker 1: Oh my god. You know, I'm honestly sitting here and
Speaker 1: I'm debating what's worse, SmackDown or the Mets. And the
Speaker 1: Mets have lost fourteen of their last sixteen. I'm still
Speaker 1: not convinced. I'm still not convinced that they are not
Speaker 1: worse than SmackDown. SmackDown was in Boston tonight. No Cody Rhodes,
Speaker 1: no John Cena, no brock Lesnar, no Logan Paul. A
Speaker 1: lot of key names that are tied into various stories
Speaker 1: on SmackDown that were not on the show tonight. But
Speaker 1: we had Solo, Sakoa and the MFTs. They were all
Speaker 1: over this show, including the main event six man tag
Speaker 1: team match in the main event. You know, at least
Speaker 1: tonight we actually had a clean finish in the main event.
Speaker 1: I could not say that for Raw Monday Night. I
Speaker 1: could not say that for SmackDown last week. At least
Speaker 1: we did not have a fucking disqualification in the main event.
Speaker 1: Tod That's great, that's great. Sammy's Ain is officially now
Speaker 1: a member of the SmackDown roster. They made it official.
Speaker 1: It kind of felt that way anyway. Last week he
Speaker 1: got a win over Solo Socoa. It felt like he
Speaker 1: should be going for the United States Championship. Then they
Speaker 1: attacked him on Raw Monday night. I got to deal
Speaker 1: with the MFTs on Monday. It only felt natural that
Speaker 1: you would move Sammy over to SmackDown. They made that
Speaker 1: official and he was in the main event tonight and
Speaker 1: he got another win. He pinned the United States Champion
Speaker 1: two weeks in a row. That doesn't bode very well
Speaker 1: for his chances when he actually gets that title match,
Speaker 1: but we'll we'll get there at some point. They did
Speaker 1: not make that announcement official tonight. What else can I
Speaker 1: say about this show? I'll tell you one good thing.
Speaker 1: Better late than never. They're actually doing something with Carmelo Hayes.
Speaker 1: They're doing a story with Carmelo Hayes and the MIZZ
Speaker 1: that is clearly intended to eventually turn Carmelo Hayes' babyface.
Speaker 1: That's more than I can say. They've done with Carmelo
Speaker 1: hayesen months on this show. I don't know what took
Speaker 1: them so long, but at least they're doing something with him, right,
Speaker 1: so that's a plus. And we had Jacob Fatu in
Speaker 1: the main event tonight as well. On that six man
Speaker 1: tag team match, which that sort of thing is the
Speaker 1: sort of thing we need to see more of. I
Speaker 1: just wish they had something more compelling and more engaging
Speaker 1: for him to be involved in. At the moment. There's
Speaker 1: not a whole lot to say on this show as
Speaker 1: far as things that are engaging or things that are
Speaker 1: terribly interesting. I'm sorry. I wish I could say that
Speaker 1: there was, but there is not. Case in point, look
Speaker 1: at the women's championship scene on SmackDown. It was very
Speaker 1: striking tonight. And I'm not just talking about the WWE
Speaker 1: Women's Championship in Tiffany Stratton. I'm talking about the US
Speaker 1: title as well with Julia. Julia's representative was on the
Speaker 1: show tonight. Julia herself was not on the show. And
Speaker 1: let's not pretend that they've done a whole hell of
Speaker 1: a lot with Julia so far. She's got the championship,
Speaker 1: she hasn't done anything with it yet. But I'm looking
Speaker 1: at the women's scene on SmackDown right now, and tonight
Speaker 1: what we had was a backstage segment involving Tiffany Stratton,
Speaker 1: Jade Cargill, and Nya Jacks, who's been spending the last
Speaker 1: few weeks on NXT, but they were all bickering and
Speaker 1: they were all arguing, and they sure made you think
Speaker 1: that we're getting another match soon involving Tiffany Stratton and
Speaker 1: Nya Jacks. That is how barren barren they are with ideas.
Speaker 1: When it comes to the women's championship picture on this show,
Speaker 1: it is dire. The women's title scene on this show
Speaker 1: is dire, and it is in need of obviously, it's
Speaker 1: in need of some fresh blood. It's in need of
Speaker 1: Bianca bel Air, and it's out of their hands. Obviously
Speaker 1: she has to get medically cleared first, but boy, they
Speaker 1: have really taken a blow not having her available. That
Speaker 1: much is clear now. I'm hoping that she gets cleared soon.
Speaker 1: But again, she was talking a few weeks ago before
Speaker 1: SummerSlam about how you know, the one broken finger that
Speaker 1: still won't bend. If that doesn't heal on its own,
Speaker 1: she'll need surgery. So let's get a prayer circle going
Speaker 1: for Bianca Belair that she can be okay and she
Speaker 1: can get medically cleared soon, because my god, could this
Speaker 1: division use her right now on TV. So don't even
Speaker 1: get me started on the women's division on this show.
Speaker 1: This was another boring episode of SmackDown. Last week's SmackDown
Speaker 1: absolutely sucked tonight. There were pockets of little glimmers and
Speaker 1: pockets of hope here and there again the Carmelo Hayes
Speaker 1: stuff as an example. There was some you know, solid
Speaker 1: wrestling on the show. But the show it it has
Speaker 1: no soul. It is completely devoid of any soul. I
Speaker 1: don't understand how this show could be so boring with
Speaker 1: all of the names that they have in this company,
Speaker 1: and this is the best that they could come up
Speaker 1: with week to week. What is going on here? It's
Speaker 1: like they took the summer off. I'm not even exagger
Speaker 1: I tell you that the episodes of Collision that I
Speaker 1: am able to check out, Collision is a better show
Speaker 1: than SmackDown. There is a TNA pay per view tonight, Emergence.
Speaker 1: I forgot all about that. I haven't watched it, obviously,
Speaker 1: I was watching SmackDown. But I am certain that that
Speaker 1: is a better show than SmackDown was tonight. But Collision
Speaker 1: week to week is a better show than SmackDown. That
Speaker 1: is where we are at this point. That's where we are.
Speaker 1: I don't understand it. I really don't now. They did
Speaker 1: mention tonight for those of you wondering about the Naomi situation,
Speaker 1: Naomi is going to be on RAW this Monday night.
Speaker 1: They did not say what her status is. Obviously, she
Speaker 1: will update everybody on her status on Raw. We will
Speaker 1: get an answer if she is going to be out
Speaker 1: for a while for whatever reason and has to vacate
Speaker 1: the Women's Championship, we will know on Monday night. So
Speaker 1: that is the update on Naomi. We'll have to wait
Speaker 1: until then for answers. In the meantime, though, we're stuck
Speaker 1: talking about SmackDown. Sorry, guys, at least she got me.
Speaker 1: This is your SmackDown review. It is Friday night, August fifth, tenth,
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five. I am the Solemn Monster. I promise
Speaker 1: to not be as boring as this show was. Jay
Speaker 1: wants to know, then, why are you watching it? Then? Well, Jay,
Speaker 1: you might be new here, but you see I review
Speaker 1: SmackDown every week. Now. I don't have a crystal ball
Speaker 1: in my hand. Although watching the show last week, I
Speaker 1: probably should have deduced that this show would not be
Speaker 1: much better. But see, I don't know what kind of
Speaker 1: show I'm going to get from week to week. That's
Speaker 1: why you watch the shows. Sometimes they're great, sometimes they're not. Unfortunately,
Speaker 1: this is two straight weeks of very boring television that
Speaker 1: we have been given and my job is to sit
Speaker 1: here and talk about these shows, because that is what
Speaker 1: I do here on this channel. I talk about raw,
Speaker 1: I talk about SmackDown, I talk about Dynamite, I talk
Speaker 1: about whatever the hell I want to talk about. So
Speaker 1: I hope that helps, and I hope that I can
Speaker 1: give you a more entertaining review than wwe gave you
Speaker 1: a show tonight. That's my job. Hit that subscribe button. Oh,
Speaker 1: by the way, I have to give a shout out
Speaker 1: to Brian, mister Finelli. I don't know if he's with
Speaker 1: us Tonight Live or not, but Brian put together this
Speaker 1: very cool graphic here. We hit eighty eight thousand subscribers
Speaker 1: on the channel the other day, and of course got
Speaker 1: to get that back to the future reference in there.
Speaker 1: So Brian, thank you for this, and thank you all
Speaker 1: for eighty eight thousand subscribers as we now begin the
Speaker 1: journey to eighty nine eighty nine k that is coming
Speaker 1: up next. So again, Brian, thank you for the cool graphic. There.
Speaker 1: Super chats are open if you have questions, comments, you
Speaker 1: want to support the channel, I'll be reading your messages
Speaker 1: a little bit later on. You'll see them popping up
Speaker 1: on your screen. And with that out of the way,
Speaker 1: let's get into this show here. Let's talk about smack
Speaker 1: Then this shouldn't take too long. I don't suspect this
Speaker 1: is going to take very long tonight. Kevin says, your
Speaker 1: reviews are better than WWE shows most times. Well, I'm
Speaker 1: very happy to hear you say that. I just wish
Speaker 1: it wasn't the case. It's kind of sad, but hey,
Speaker 1: I'll take the compliment. So SmackDown open with Solo, Sekela
Speaker 1: and his family trade making their way down to the ring.
Speaker 1: So the United States Champion said that the MFTs were
Speaker 1: in the building tonight to remind everybody that they ran SmackDown.
Speaker 1: No wonder this show has been so awful, so he says,
Speaker 1: if nobody likes that too bad. Last week, Sammy's ain
Speaker 1: came out on SmackDown, and that forced Solo in the
Speaker 1: MFTs to show up on Raw two, in his words,
Speaker 1: stomp his ass out. Sikoha declared that Sammy was stomped
Speaker 1: out along with Jimmy USSO and Jacob Fatu, and he
Speaker 1: once again challenged anybody in the back to come on
Speaker 1: out and challenge him, and he was cut off by
Speaker 1: Sammy z Ain's music. So he made his way down
Speaker 1: to the ring and Sammy said, look, I'm just here
Speaker 1: to talk, that's all I want to do. So the
Speaker 1: MFTs they left the ring. It was just Sammy and
Speaker 1: Solo and the ring together. Samy said, this past Monday,
Speaker 1: had he beaten Russev in their match, it's very possible
Speaker 1: that he could have been fighting for the World Heavyweight
Speaker 1: Championship at Clash in Paris. As it is, there's a
Speaker 1: four way match. Sammy's ain't is not involved in that match,
Speaker 1: but maybe he would have been had he got to
Speaker 1: win on Monday. And now that's not going to happen
Speaker 1: thanks to the MFTs, and he was furious about it,
Speaker 1: but after some thinking he noted that he was finally liberated.
Speaker 1: He had been so focused on chasing the world title
Speaker 1: that he hadn't really had time to focus on other
Speaker 1: things in WWE, and for that he has to thank
Speaker 1: Solo's Socoa. So Samy said, there was one title that
Speaker 1: he has never held outside of the world title, in WWE,
Speaker 1: and that is the United States Championship. So Solo taunted
Speaker 1: him and said, yeah, and you're never going to win
Speaker 1: the US title, and he yelled at him to get
Speaker 1: off his show because he didn't want to see him
Speaker 1: ever again. And at that point, Sammy informed him that
Speaker 1: he is now officially a member of the SmackDown roster.
Speaker 1: He didn't say how this all came about. It just happened.
Speaker 1: It just is he is now official. Not that it matters.
Speaker 1: It is kind of funny to have him come out
Speaker 1: here and say I'm officially on SmackDown now. It doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: People go back and forth at will. So does he
Speaker 1: really have to come out here and declare this is
Speaker 1: not the fucking airport. You don't have to come out
Speaker 1: here and declare stupid shit like this. That really doesn't
Speaker 1: mean anything. But according to sammy'saying, he is officially on
Speaker 1: SmackDown now. So Solo took something away from him, he said,
Speaker 1: and now Sammy was going to take something away from
Speaker 1: Solo in the form of the US title. Solo tried
Speaker 1: to strike Sammy, Sammy fought back, so the MFT stepped in.
Speaker 1: They delivered a beat down until Jimmy Usso ran out
Speaker 1: for the save. The MFTs still had the advantage, so
Speaker 1: they beat on him until Jacob Fati came out, even
Speaker 1: up the numbers a little bit more. The MFTs were
Speaker 1: forced to retreat, including all three Babyfaces, sending Talatanga out
Speaker 1: of the ring with a triple superkick. Nick All this
Speaker 1: came out at this point and he made it official
Speaker 1: for the main event that it would be sammys Ain,
Speaker 1: Jimmy Usso and Jacob Fatu taking on the MFTs in
Speaker 1: a six man tag team match. So we had the
Speaker 1: MFTs in the opening match, and now we were guaranteed
Speaker 1: to have the MFTs in the closing match. Another week,
Speaker 1: another show where Nick All this cannot be bothered to
Speaker 1: have a main event already scheduled before his show goes
Speaker 1: on the air. Terrible, but it is nice that they
Speaker 1: acknowledge that Sammy's Ain at least has officially switched rosters,
Speaker 1: which honestly it's the right move to make, and effectively
Speaker 1: what has happened here. They have said nothing, by the
Speaker 1: way about La Night officially being on Raw, but La
Speaker 1: Night is officially on Raw. Now I don't know what
Speaker 1: the roster page I assume La Night is still listed
Speaker 1: on the SmackDown roster page on WWE dot com because
Speaker 1: they take their sweet time updating that website. Unless you
Speaker 1: are released or your contract expires, Boy, they get you
Speaker 1: in that alumni section real quick, but sometimes it takes
Speaker 1: a while for them to update the roster pages. Basically,
Speaker 1: what's happened here is they had a one for one trade.
Speaker 1: Sammy' zain has been moved over to SmackDown. La Knight
Speaker 1: has been moved over to Raw, which is where he belongs.
Speaker 1: Remember I was calling for that move for months because
Speaker 1: La Knight is actually in the main event at Clash
Speaker 1: in Paris. He is wrestling for the World Heavyweight Championship again.
Speaker 1: He already challenged for the world title last week. If
Speaker 1: that doesn't make him a member of the raw roster,
Speaker 1: I don't know what does. And I also don't know
Speaker 1: why this was never acknowledged on television. I think it's
Speaker 1: a very lazy way to make roster moves, especially when
Speaker 1: you have two general managers. It would not take a
Speaker 1: lot of effort to set up a segment or two
Speaker 1: to make it very clear that there's some sort of
Speaker 1: trade or there's some sort of deal that's been struck.
Speaker 1: But again they can't be bothered because this is a
Speaker 1: lazy television, so things just happen. It doesn't have to
Speaker 1: be an explanation for it. It just is. It is
Speaker 1: the laziest form of storytelling you could possibly ask for.
Speaker 1: But there you go. That move is now official. Now
Speaker 1: interesting that Sammy is on SmackDown because again, his story
Speaker 1: is on the back burner for the World Heavyweight Championship
Speaker 1: right now or the WWE title I suppose. But just
Speaker 1: because he's on SmackDown does not mean that he cannot
Speaker 1: still challenge seth Rawlins at WrestleMania next year for the
Speaker 1: World Heavyweight Championship. I'm not saying he will, but it
Speaker 1: doesn't eliminate the possibility because if Samy's Ain goes to
Speaker 1: Saudi next year and he wins the Royal Rumble, or
Speaker 1: even if you were to win the Elimination Chamber, but
Speaker 1: more so if you won the Royal Rumble, I guess
Speaker 1: if you win the Chamber, he don't have a choice.
Speaker 1: You win the Rumble, you have the choice right of
Speaker 1: the champion that you would like to wrestle. So theoretically
Speaker 1: you could still do Samy's Ain challenging for the Big
Speaker 1: Gold Belt, or you could have Samy's Ain challenging for
Speaker 1: the WWE Championship. And remember he has a history with
Speaker 1: a certain someone on this show. That person is Drew McIntyre.
Speaker 1: Drew McIntyre is someone that Sammy's Ain has never ever
Speaker 1: been able to beat. Drew McIntyre is undefeated against Sammy's Ain.
Speaker 1: So if you wanted to tell that story next year,
Speaker 1: it's like killing two birds with one stone. Not only
Speaker 1: could Sammy finally get that elusive win over Drew McIntyre,
Speaker 1: but in so doing, he might be able to win
Speaker 1: the WWE Championship for the first time. So that's another
Speaker 1: potential story avenue for them to go down. Obviously, they're
Speaker 1: gonna revisit it because they keep drilling it into our
Speaker 1: heads that I want to be a world champion. I
Speaker 1: know I could be a world champion, but they had
Speaker 1: to pivot away to something else because it's too early
Speaker 1: to tell that story. So him going after the US
Speaker 1: title actually makes sense. But that was your opening segment
Speaker 1: here on this show. Now that led into Alexa Bliss,
Speaker 1: one half of the Women's Tag Team Champions with Charlotte
Speaker 1: Flair in her corner, taking on Piper Niven, who who
Speaker 1: had Chelsea Green and Alba Fire in hers By the way,
Speaker 1: I should point out they had a giant King of
Speaker 1: the Hill logo in the middle of the ring to
Speaker 1: promote the reboot. Bliss asked for a moment before the
Speaker 1: match to put her Lily doll aside, and that's when
Speaker 1: Piper bounced. She pounced, and she bounced. Bliss jumped on
Speaker 1: her back. She tried to apply a sleeper hoole. Niven
Speaker 1: broke the hold. She floored Bliss with a boss man
Speaker 1: slam that took us into a commercial break. Bliss took
Speaker 1: advantage after she avoided a cannon ball in the corner.
Speaker 1: She hit Piper with repeated running moon salts. Niven regained
Speaker 1: momentum though with a headbutt. Bliss avoided the Vader bomb,
Speaker 1: and as she tried to head up top, Chelsea got
Speaker 1: up on the apron to run distraction. Charlotte, though stopped her,
Speaker 1: so Alba Fire got up on the apron. She got
Speaker 1: kicked away by Bliss, and in the end Bliss rolled
Speaker 1: up Piper and got the win, and after the match
Speaker 1: was over, Charlotte and Alexa they found themselves on the
Speaker 1: receiving end of a three on two attack from Chelsea
Speaker 1: and her secret herbsts. A decent enough match seems to
Speaker 1: set up a future tag team championship match for these two.
Speaker 1: It also it gives Chelsea's group a rare segment where
Speaker 1: they were not the ones to be laid out. They
Speaker 1: did the laying out, but I'd be lying if I
Speaker 1: told you that any of this was terribly exciting. Certainly
Speaker 1: Boston didn't think so. Backstage, nick All, this stood between
Speaker 1: Tiffany Stratton and Jade Cargill as they were bickering back
Speaker 1: and forth. Nia Jacks showed up, and as I mentioned earlier,
Speaker 1: she's been on NXT the last couple of weeks, and
Speaker 1: even before that, she hadn't been on SmackDown for a while.
Speaker 1: I honestly don't remember her doing anything after she lost
Speaker 1: that last woman's standing match to Tiffany Stratton. It's possible
Speaker 1: she wasn't on this show until tonight since then, but
Speaker 1: there she is. NYA took you she with Jade wanting
Speaker 1: a rematch for the women's title. Nya suggested that Jade
Speaker 1: fall back and let her take care of Tiffity Stratton.
Speaker 1: Jade said that she wouldn't fall back for anyone, and
Speaker 1: Stratton said that her facing Naya would end the same
Speaker 1: way it always does. She said that if she had
Speaker 1: to prove it to Jax before she proves it to Jade,
Speaker 1: they should both bring it. I can't believe that we're
Speaker 1: going back to this again. You know when I say
Speaker 1: that they are creatively bankrupt on this show, this is
Speaker 1: the sort of thing I'm talking about, and it is
Speaker 1: no more obvious than it is right now with a
Speaker 1: women's title scene on SmackDown. It is awful. It's just awful.
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying that Tiffity Stratton and Naya Jax
Speaker 1: didn't have some good matches. I'm not even commenting on
Speaker 1: the quality of the match. I'm saying, why are we
Speaker 1: going back to this again? Why does it feel like
Speaker 1: the car is going up the hill and now we're
Speaker 1: rolling backwards. That's what this show feels like, especially when
Speaker 1: it comes to this stuff. I don't understand that we
Speaker 1: had the Miz and Carmelo Hayes Mello don't Miss taking
Speaker 1: on phraxium. If you remember last week, Hayes was about
Speaker 1: to storm into Nick Aldo's office to demand a United
Speaker 1: States championship match, and the Mis was in there. All
Speaker 1: this wasn't in his office, but Mis was in there,
Speaker 1: and he stopped him from doing so and said, look,
Speaker 1: I went to Nick all this and I got us
Speaker 1: a tag team match for next week. Mello was like,
Speaker 1: where have you been? You've been gone for it because
Speaker 1: Mis was off filming American Gladiators, Like, where have you been?
Speaker 1: You abandoned me, been gone for two months. Miss is like,
Speaker 1: don't worry, I got us a match, and then Mello
Speaker 1: walked away. All this walked in and it was pretty
Speaker 1: clear that he lied to him and he actually had
Speaker 1: not yet asked for a tag team match. I guess
Speaker 1: he did after the facts. Anyway, that's what led to
Speaker 1: this match here, right, riveting stuff. So the match starts
Speaker 1: right away, the Miss is distracted. He looks up into
Speaker 1: the crowd and there's Joe Gacy up in the crowd
Speaker 1: with his tag team title belt. And then a couple
Speaker 1: of moments later they look up and there's Dexter Loomis
Speaker 1: in his Mercy the Buzzard mask and he's up in
Speaker 1: the crowd, and so they're both stalking and watching here.
Speaker 1: During this match, Mis was very perplexed by the speed
Speaker 1: of Nathan, Fraser quickly tagged out to let Carmelo Hayes
Speaker 1: deal with him. Phraxium ran wild for a little bit
Speaker 1: ahead of a commercial break. The show came back with
Speaker 1: Hayes in control on Axiom. Axiom countered and attempted power
Speaker 1: bomb with a hurt Kurana that got a near fall.
Speaker 1: Hayes finally connected with said power bomb, but he could
Speaker 1: not put Axiom away. Fraser got the hot tag. He
Speaker 1: went into supersonic speed mode, just ping ponging back and forth,
Speaker 1: and he took Mis down with the moon salt. Fraser
Speaker 1: looked for the Phoenix splash. Miz though rolled out of
Speaker 1: the way and or rolled away really is what he did.
Speaker 1: Hayes tagged in and he tried for a springboard attack. Fraser,
Speaker 1: though met him on the ropes. So Hayes is going
Speaker 1: for a springboard. He doesn't even make it off the
Speaker 1: middle rope before Fraser meets him, and then he pulls
Speaker 1: him off with a Spanish fly. So after Hayes kicked out,
Speaker 1: he tried to head up top Axium stunned him though
Speaker 1: with a kick. This open Hayes up for the Spanish fly.
Speaker 1: Phoenix splash combo from Phraxium. Mis broke up the count
Speaker 1: by stepping onto Fraser's back and then followed that right
Speaker 1: into a DDT on the top rope. Fraser hit Hayes
Speaker 1: with a jumping kick and then looked for a jumping
Speaker 1: Spanish fly with Axiom, but Miz stopped Axiom with a
Speaker 1: DDT on the apron. Back on top, Hayes countered Fraser
Speaker 1: with the top rope cutter, and so now Hayes's up
Speaker 1: top and he's looking for nothing but net and he's
Speaker 1: getting sheers from the crowd. So the crowd is into
Speaker 1: his offense and the crowd is ready to see him
Speaker 1: finish this guy off. And that's when the Mis selfishly
Speaker 1: tags himself into the match, and Hayes is just incredulous,
Speaker 1: can't believe this. And Mis gets into the ring and
Speaker 1: he hits a skull crushing finale and he gets the win.
Speaker 1: He stole the win from his own partner. And after
Speaker 1: the match is over, obviously Hayes is very disappointed. Miss
Speaker 1: is very happy. He's celebrating. He throws his arms around Hayes.
Speaker 1: Crowd was more into this match than you would think,
Speaker 1: more than most things frankly on this show, and we
Speaker 1: got good stuff here from these four, but Hayes looked
Speaker 1: really good, which we desperately need to see more of
Speaker 1: here on this show. You know, I used to mock
Speaker 1: and make fun of the fact that Mellow he was
Speaker 1: the number one draft I remember that last year. I'm
Speaker 1: the number one draft pick. Another reason why there never
Speaker 1: needs to be another draft. That's why I say it
Speaker 1: all the time. People still sometimes ask about the draft.
Speaker 1: Are they going to have a draft? When's the draft
Speaker 1: going to be? You don't need a draft when you
Speaker 1: are having Carmelo Hayes as you're a number one draft pick,
Speaker 1: and then you see what they did with him for
Speaker 1: the majority of this year. You don't need a fucking
Speaker 1: draft because when you treat the draft like a joke,
Speaker 1: there's no need to do one. So from the moment
Speaker 1: he was drafted to this show, they have dropped the
Speaker 1: ball on him repeatedly. And then he won the Andre
Speaker 1: the Giant Memorial Battle Royal right where he was walking
Speaker 1: around with Dre the necklace. Where did that go? Where
Speaker 1: did that take him? Nowhere? Absolutely nowhere. So it's about
Speaker 1: time that we start to see him focused on more
Speaker 1: on this show and letting him go out there and
Speaker 1: do what he does best. He was getting himself over
Speaker 1: in this match just by wrestling. Sometimes that's all you
Speaker 1: need to do. You don't have to reinvent the wheel.
Speaker 1: You have to have a good story behind it. Now,
Speaker 1: the story they're telling with him and Miss is very basic.
Speaker 1: It's very basic and very simple, but it can be
Speaker 1: very effective. This is the kind of role that Miss
Speaker 1: is very good in. That's why I say he's the
Speaker 1: best utility player they have on the roster. You can
Speaker 1: plug him in anywhere you need him. But he's a
Speaker 1: veteran guy. He could be a babyface, he could be
Speaker 1: a heel, he could be a comedy figure, he could
Speaker 1: be more serious. They're using him here in this situation
Speaker 1: to help get Carmelo Hayes over as a baby face.
Speaker 1: That is what I got out of this, And this
Speaker 1: is just the first step in the story that they
Speaker 1: were telling with these two. Now, there was a segment
Speaker 1: later on in the show, because again the story here
Speaker 1: was Miss stealing his glory, stealing his thunder away from him.
Speaker 1: But later in the back, Nick All this was speaking
Speaker 1: to the MotorCity machine Guns. I would hope that the
Speaker 1: machine Guns were there, asking him why did you fly
Speaker 1: us into work if you had no match for us?
Speaker 1: I don't know. We couldn't really pick up what the
Speaker 1: nature of their conversation was, but as they're talking, we
Speaker 1: had Carmelo Hayes walk in. He interrupted, he wanted to
Speaker 1: know what do I need to do to get a
Speaker 1: shot at the United States Championship. Mis interjected, he apologize,
Speaker 1: I apologize for my partner, and Carmelo's like, no, no,
Speaker 1: don't apologize for me. And MS is like, no, no, mister,
Speaker 1: all this very sorry about this now. Chris Saban took
Speaker 1: offense because MS made a comment about how I know
Speaker 1: you weren't doing anything obviously that he was having a
Speaker 1: conversation with the machine guns. So Saban said that, you
Speaker 1: know what. He also brought up that Miz has been
Speaker 1: manipulating Carmelo Hayes, and Sabin looks at Hayes and he goes,
Speaker 1: are you him or are you his pointing to the Miz.
Speaker 1: So this led to all this scheduling the machine Guns
Speaker 1: to take on Carmelo Hayes and the Miz on next
Speaker 1: week's show. So again it's a very simple story here.
Speaker 1: Carmelo Hayes is the kind of guy that you need
Speaker 1: to promote that you need to put some of your
Speaker 1: muscle behind. If you are going to push him, then
Speaker 1: push him. If you think he's a number one draft pick,
Speaker 1: then prove it. Let him go out there and let
Speaker 1: him do what he does. Give him the opportunity to
Speaker 1: get over. He will either get over or he won't
Speaker 1: get over. He was already getting over tonight in this
Speaker 1: one match on a show where there wasn't a whole
Speaker 1: lot that felt like it was getting over. So I
Speaker 1: don't care what your opinion is of Carmelo Hayes. Carmelo
Speaker 1: Hayes is a super talented guy. Did very well for
Speaker 1: himself an NXT. He's not the biggest guy in the world,
Speaker 1: but he's got a lot of talent, and there's potential
Speaker 1: for him to be so much more than he is
Speaker 1: right now. Certainly someone out a United States Championship level,
Speaker 1: I would say so. And where he goes from there,
Speaker 1: who knows. But to not even give him the opportunity
Speaker 1: and to just have him sitting in the back and
Speaker 1: sitting on the back burner for over a year like
Speaker 1: it doesn't make any sense to me. Why you call
Speaker 1: these people up if you don't intend to use them
Speaker 1: to their full potential. I mean, he wasn't some schlub
Speaker 1: in NXT. He's a former NXT champion, hasn't been treated
Speaker 1: like one on the main roster. So when did he
Speaker 1: get drafted? Was that May of last year's August of
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five. It's about time they try something with
Speaker 1: this guy. One of the few positives about this show. Tonight,
Speaker 1: at backstage, Tiffany Stratton was approached by Keanna James, who
Speaker 1: offered her services, including the benefit of Oh You get
Speaker 1: your own custom Pink World Championship. Stratton refused her services
Speaker 1: and then she walked off. Mitchen then appeared and said
Speaker 1: that she had Julia next, and Keanu said that this
Speaker 1: was under advisement. That was the last we saw of
Speaker 1: Tiffany Stratton on this show. Joe Tessitur updated us from
Speaker 1: ringside and said there was no medical update on the
Speaker 1: condition of the WWE champion Cody Rhodes after the vicious,
Speaker 1: heinous attack at the end of last week's show by
Speaker 1: Drew MacIntyre when he kicked him into the announced desk.
Speaker 1: I mean, they went way over the top this week.
Speaker 1: To make it feel like we might not see Cody
Speaker 1: Rhoads for a while. We don't even have a medical
Speaker 1: update on this guy. He could be fucking dead for
Speaker 1: all we know, because Drew McIntyre gave him Acclaymore a
Speaker 1: kick through the bottom part of the announced disk. Oh no,
Speaker 1: so yeah, no medical update on him, but that led
Speaker 1: into Drew McIntyre coming to the ring for a promo.
Speaker 1: So well, actually, I mean, look, at least we had
Speaker 1: a top name on this show who actually was on
Speaker 1: the show tonight and showed up to work. McIntyre talked
Speaker 1: about people asking why he did what he did last
Speaker 1: week to the WWE champion. He asked for the clip
Speaker 1: to be replayed again, which brought a smile to his face.
Speaker 1: McIntyre asked us to listen closely as he said that
Speaker 1: apparently he did not attack Cody Rhoads. He then asked
Speaker 1: Joe Testitor about a medical update on Rhoads and how
Speaker 1: very strange it is that we haven't heard anything, and
Speaker 1: he said that he started ranting about management hiding Cody's
Speaker 1: medical condition. McIntyre said that he wasn't mad at Cody,
Speaker 1: but rather he felt sorry for him because of how
Speaker 1: much he put the weight of the fans and the
Speaker 1: weight of management on his shoulders. McIntyre noted that he
Speaker 1: was once in Cody's position, but he moved on. Afterwards,
Speaker 1: he noted that Cody was nothing without his story, and
Speaker 1: he said that he actually didn't attack Cody at all
Speaker 1: last week. In fact, it was the other way around.
Speaker 1: Cody attacked him. And at that point he walked us
Speaker 1: through what happened. He went spot by spot what happened
Speaker 1: on the show the previous week in the main event.
Speaker 1: He even went outside the ring to illustrate. He threw
Speaker 1: me here, then he threw me into the post. So
Speaker 1: he's taking us step by side. I'm watching JFK here.
Speaker 1: Step by step. He's showing us what happened, putting his
Speaker 1: own spin on it. And he noted that he only
Speaker 1: defended himself and that while Cody was good at pissing
Speaker 1: people off, McIntyre said he was very good at taking
Speaker 1: people out. And Drew said that he's not a bad guy,
Speaker 1: but he will do very violent things if provoked. If
Speaker 1: you provoke me, I'm the real nightmare. And then he
Speaker 1: tossed the microphone down and McIntyre looked into the camera
Speaker 1: and he told Cody to get better soon. Again, the
Speaker 1: way they're making this Claymore out to be something so
Speaker 1: devastating that we need to have medical updates on Cody
Speaker 1: Rhodes was a little over the top because really, I mean,
Speaker 1: if you go back and watch it, it was a cool
Speaker 1: visual in the moment, but really, what did he do?
Speaker 1: You know what I mean? What did this man do?
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm just like I'm at a point where everyone's
Speaker 1: finishing move has been kicked out of so many times
Speaker 1: that when you hit your finishing move on somebody, like
Speaker 1: unless you hit your finishing move on the guy and
Speaker 1: you knock him off of like a ten foot stage
Speaker 1: or you knock him into a pit of needles or
Speaker 1: something awful like that, Like really, who cares? You know
Speaker 1: what I mean? Like it's not that big of a deal,
Speaker 1: but they're trying to make it like a big deal.
Speaker 1: Cody might be gone for a while. There was no
Speaker 1: challenge issued here, There was no mention of Paris, there
Speaker 1: was no mention of I'll see you for the WWE Championship.
Speaker 1: Obviously that's where we're going with this. I still think
Speaker 1: it's gonna happen in Paris. I wouldn't be shocked to
Speaker 1: see Cody Beck on the show next week. I've heard
Speaker 1: nothing about whether or not Cody has gone off to
Speaker 1: film Street Fighter. I mean, maybe he has. If he has,
Speaker 1: he's going to be gone for a few weeks. Last
Speaker 1: report I saw was that he wasn't going to miss
Speaker 1: as much time as Roman Reigns. Roman Reigns is supposed
Speaker 1: to be out from September second until September twenty sixth,
Speaker 1: so that's almost a full month. Does that mean Cody
Speaker 1: is only filming for two weeks? Does he have a
Speaker 1: cameo in this movie? He might not even have any
Speaker 1: dialogue in this movie. So I don't know. I don't
Speaker 1: know what his status is. I don't know if he's
Speaker 1: off filming yet. Maybe he'll be on the show next week.
Speaker 1: Maybe he'll be on the show the following week. But
Speaker 1: Clash in Paris is on August thirty first, very end
Speaker 1: of the month. If he's not on the Sho show
Speaker 1: next week, that makes it a hell of a lot
Speaker 1: less likely they're going to put that title match together
Speaker 1: in one week's time. Now, there's always the unannounced ple
Speaker 1: on September twenty. If the WWE is going to be adding,
Speaker 1: so they could always do the match there, but I'm
Speaker 1: gonna I'm gonna assume that we'll get this title match
Speaker 1: in Paris, but if we do, we didn't hear anything
Speaker 1: about it tonight. Matti says it cannot be called a
Speaker 1: finisher anymore. There really is no real finisher anymore. Is
Speaker 1: there is there a finishing move in wrestling that you
Speaker 1: can think of right now today, WWE or AW that
Speaker 1: truly nobody ever kicks out of, like maybe once, but
Speaker 1: I mean like it is protected. Like it's a very
Speaker 1: short list. I think of the one winged Angel right
Speaker 1: when Kenny Omega hits it Seamus and the brokick is
Speaker 1: still very protected. What else are there any other moves
Speaker 1: that you would put on that list? It's a very
Speaker 1: short list. I can't think of too many. So in
Speaker 1: the back Byron Saxton spoke with the Street Prophets and
Speaker 1: BFAB before they could answer his question, Solo in the MFTs,
Speaker 1: my god, I said they were all over the show.
Speaker 1: They were all over this show, all over like a
Speaker 1: sexually transmitted disease. So they walk into the camera shot
Speaker 1: Solo says that we're going to be the ones taking
Speaker 1: the tag team titles from the Wyat Six, Angelo Dawkins
Speaker 1: and Montese Ford. They made fun of them a little bit,
Speaker 1: and they remind everybody that they still want the smoke.
Speaker 1: You know, they've been saying this for five years now,
Speaker 1: that they want the smoke. It's very bad for your health.
Speaker 1: Should probably stay away from the smoke, although I guess
Speaker 1: it depends what kind of smoke we're talking about here.
Speaker 1: Taalatango was acting very distracted by something. They're like, are
Speaker 1: you okay? He's like yeah, And then the MFTs walked away.
Speaker 1: But then we saw off in the distance in the background,
Speaker 1: lurking in the shadows in his in his mask is
Speaker 1: that's the rabbit mask? Right is Eric Rowan of the
Speaker 1: Wyatt Six. He's got the giant hammer the mallet with him.
Speaker 1: So that led into the street profits against Johnny Gargano
Speaker 1: and Tam Tamaso Champa Jackhammer. I'm you can't name moves
Speaker 1: from thirty years ago. I'm talking about modern day wrestling,
Speaker 1: modern day WWE and AW you're all naming look at
Speaker 1: this BONZEI drop. You're all naming old move U Let's
Speaker 1: you're talking about Naya Jacks. But I've seen people a
Speaker 1: couple of times kick out from from Nya's bonzai, the
Speaker 1: insane elbow. Maybe Black Matt, black Mess. That's a good one.
Speaker 1: I accept packs finisher. Yeah, my gud, where's he been?
Speaker 1: It's always hurt poor Pack. But when Pack hits the
Speaker 1: black arrow, usually you don't kick out from that. That
Speaker 1: is true. So the street profits against diy Stop me
Speaker 1: if you've heard this before. Montes Ford avoided a chop
Speaker 1: block from Champa. He tagged in Angelo Dawkins outside the ring.
Speaker 1: Candace Larray got herself involved. That allowed Champa to catch
Speaker 1: Dawkins with a kick. So the action picked up. After
Speaker 1: the commercial, Montes Sward with a high cross body from
Speaker 1: the top on Shampa. The Profits set up for their
Speaker 1: double team blockbuster on Tomaso Champa when Candice Larray ran
Speaker 1: over and shoved BFAB into the ring steps, which caused
Speaker 1: a distraction. From there, diy rallied Gargano had Ford pinned
Speaker 1: until Dawkins broke it up. Short time later. Gargano went
Speaker 1: for a suicide died, but Ford caught him before he
Speaker 1: could actually come through the ropes. It was either a
Speaker 1: punch or an uppercut. I think it was a punch,
Speaker 1: so that stopped him inish tracks and at that point
Speaker 1: we had Candace Loray. She jumped from the top rope
Speaker 1: and she nailed. They heard Conrana to montes Ford, which
Speaker 1: sent him off the apron, crashing into Angelo Dawkins on
Speaker 1: the floor. Gargano got forward back in the ring and
Speaker 1: ddted him before covering him only for two b fab.
Speaker 1: At this point she recovered. She threw a very clunky
Speaker 1: looking actually it looked like a brokick on the outside
Speaker 1: of Candace. Dawkins hit sky high in the ring on
Speaker 1: Champa and then montes Ford followed up with a top
Speaker 1: rope frog splash and Dawkins covered Champa for the win.
Speaker 1: Solid stuff here, I mean, I feel like these two teams,
Speaker 1: they've worked together so many times, this basic match, and
Speaker 1: that's what it was. It was a basic match. But
Speaker 1: this basic match they had here. They could have this
Speaker 1: match in their sleep, right, because they're great. They've worked
Speaker 1: together so many times for them, this was easy. But
Speaker 1: I'm tired of seeing it. How many times are we
Speaker 1: going to see the same two fucking teams over and
Speaker 1: over again. How many times have we seen DIY in
Speaker 1: the street profits this year more times than I can count.
Speaker 1: So even this tag team division, which has for the
Speaker 1: better part of the year I would say honestly been
Speaker 1: the hottest part of the show, and they went out
Speaker 1: there at SummerSlam, they had that incredible tables, ladders and
Speaker 1: shares match, and it's like they didn't have any plan
Speaker 1: to really follow up on it. The Wyatt Six retain
Speaker 1: their titles. Everybody is still chasing them, but it's the
Speaker 1: same teams going at it every single week, and there's
Speaker 1: not enough variety here in the story to justify rematching
Speaker 1: these people over and over again. Now what they can
Speaker 1: do is they can run this back again, but this
Speaker 1: time throw the ladies in there and have a six
Speaker 1: person tag match, have Candice and Befab get involved. That's
Speaker 1: about all they can do. Otherwise, I'd like to see
Speaker 1: them go their separate ways and try something different. I mean,
Speaker 1: you're probably run into the same issue with a lot
Speaker 1: of the other teams because they've all been feuding with
Speaker 1: each other all year long, So it's just a matter
Speaker 1: of finding the right story. The story is that they're
Speaker 1: all trying to take the belts from the wy At Six,
Speaker 1: and even the Wyat's Six right now is not terribly interesting.
Speaker 1: So they're still trying to convince us that the Tag
Speaker 1: team division is red hot. I think that's what Joe
Speaker 1: Tessitour said at one point. It's red hot. It was
Speaker 1: red hot. It's not red hot anymore. It's starting to
Speaker 1: run on fumes. So maybe they need to call a
Speaker 1: new team up from NXT and inject some new blood
Speaker 1: into the division, right You drop a new face in there.
Speaker 1: Sometimes that's all it takes. But there's nothing story wise
Speaker 1: that's compelling about seeing these teams over and over again
Speaker 1: like this. We got a video package recapping the events
Speaker 1: that led up to John's and Logan Paul taking place
Speaker 1: at Clash from Paris, sina Is back on the show,
Speaker 1: by the way, next week in Dublin. That's gonna be
Speaker 1: the first time ever that they have had television in Dublin, Ireland.
Speaker 1: I certainly hope they give the Dublin fans something more
Speaker 1: interesting and exciting than they've given them the last two weeks,
Speaker 1: because they've never had television before. I would certainly hope
Speaker 1: they get a really good show next week. I'm already
Speaker 1: I'm already wondering what songs they're gonna be singing, because
Speaker 1: you know they're gonna be singing some kind of song.
Speaker 1: I don't know if they'll come up with something new.
Speaker 1: You want a great Irish tune makes me think of Sinners.
Speaker 1: I can't get that song out of my head. So
Speaker 1: in the back Byron Saxton then spoke with our Truth,
Speaker 1: who looked like he had little Jimmy back with him.
Speaker 1: I saw he was like motioning. I thought he was
Speaker 1: like motioning for a little Jimmy. I'm like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: we're back to this again. We had a promising direction
Speaker 1: with this man, and we're back to this shit. Right.
Speaker 1: So I'm watching this and Truth is acting like his
Speaker 1: old goofy self. When Alistair Black walks up and Black
Speaker 1: asked if Truth is this excited for his other friend,
Speaker 1: Damian Priest. Truth all of a sudden got serious and
Speaker 1: he got up in Black's face and he asked how
Speaker 1: Black is going to tell him who he is. Black says,
Speaker 1: there you are, mister Killings. I'll see you next week,
Speaker 1: and he walked off. So it looks like they're leaning
Speaker 1: into Truth maybe having like a split personality gimmick where
Speaker 1: he'll go back and forth between goofy truth and more
Speaker 1: serious truth like Our Truth and Ron Killings. That's at
Speaker 1: least better than just having him revert back to the
Speaker 1: same shit he was doing before. Just because John Sena
Speaker 1: no longer is a heel, that doesn't mean that, you know,
Speaker 1: Our Truth has to go back to doing the same
Speaker 1: bland stuff that he was doing previously. This could work.
Speaker 1: At least we'll still have some of that serious side
Speaker 1: of him. That's my hope. And but their match is official.
Speaker 1: They'll be wrestling in Dublin next week. Elsewhere in the back,
Speaker 1: Sammy's ay, Jacob fought to Jimmy Usso they're in the
Speaker 1: locker room, they're getting ready for the main event. Sammy
Speaker 1: thanked Jacob for saving him. Earlier, Jacob was sitting down right,
Speaker 1: Sammy and Jimmy were all chummy. Sammy's like, man, it's
Speaker 1: been a long time. What was the last time of
Speaker 1: you and I tagged right, And Jimmy's like, oh, it's
Speaker 1: been a minute. Jacob's just sitting there all stoic. So,
Speaker 1: like I said, Sammy thanks him for saving him. Now
Speaker 1: Jacob gets up in his face and goes, I didn't
Speaker 1: save you, I saved him. He's my brother. I don't
Speaker 1: even know you, and Sammy pointed out, he goes, well,
Speaker 1: he's my brother too, and if you're cool with him,
Speaker 1: then you're cool with me, are we good? And Jacob
Speaker 1: looked at Sammy and said, or Jimmy rather un told Jimmy,
Speaker 1: make sure he doesn't get in my way, and then
Speaker 1: he goes yadamen and he left and Sammy's like, YadA
Speaker 1: mean was that? So that was that? And that led
Speaker 1: into our main event, which was Sammy's A and Jimmy
Speaker 1: Uso and Jacob Fatu against the MFTs Solo Socoa Togaloa
Speaker 1: and Jace Matteo. Yata mean mattel. How do you spell that?
Speaker 1: By the way, so y a d A m e
Speaker 1: A n is that? How is that how we're spelling it?
Speaker 1: Jace Matteo. He used his strength to run Sammy into
Speaker 1: the heel corner as Togaloa entered the match, the Great Tongaloa.
Speaker 1: He threw Sammy outside. He caused a distraction so that
Speaker 1: Talla Tonga can mow him down with a big boot.
Speaker 1: That took us into a commercial after commercial after commercial,
Speaker 1: Fatu took a hot tag after the commercial and he
Speaker 1: walked uh he walked all over all three men. Fa
Speaker 1: Tou held the top rope down while Jimmy dove over
Speaker 1: it and onto j C. Mitteo on the floor or
Speaker 1: Fatu then put down Tongalow with a pop up, samo
Speaker 1: and drop, and then Fatu went up top and he
Speaker 1: had initially kicked Solo away because Solo came over. Then
Speaker 1: he went for a swanton bomb as he came down,
Speaker 1: though Tongaloa got the knees up. Solo tagged in hit
Speaker 1: a top rope splash on Fa Tu, but only for
Speaker 1: a near fall. So Jacob reluctantly tagged out because he
Speaker 1: was in need of help and he's looking up and
Speaker 1: Sammy wants the tag, so he reluctantly makes the tag.
Speaker 1: Sammy comes in, he drops Solo with a blue thunderbomb,
Speaker 1: but pin got broken up. The match broke down. At
Speaker 1: that point. Jacob took Tallatanga off the apron with a
Speaker 1: super kick, and then Jacob dove threw the ropes out
Speaker 1: of the ring into Tallatanga, which knocked the big guy
Speaker 1: over the announced desk and took him out of the picture.
Speaker 1: Back inside, Sammy dropped Solo in the corner with an
Speaker 1: exploder and then he connected on a halluva kick, and
Speaker 1: for the second week in a row, Sammy Zan got
Speaker 1: the drop on the United States Champion. He pinned Solo
Speaker 1: Sokoa and then after the match was over, Jimmy hugged,
Speaker 1: fought too and Sammy and then motion for the two
Speaker 1: of them to come together. Jacob was a little hesitant
Speaker 1: at first, but then fought too when Sammy shook hands
Speaker 1: and they hugged and the baby Faces celebrated to close
Speaker 1: out the show. If we get if we get Sammy's
Speaker 1: ain't against Solo Soco in Paris for the United States Championship.
Speaker 1: I'm assuming the well where is SmackDown? Actually, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know if SmackDown the Friday before is also
Speaker 1: in Paris or maybe Leon. It's possible that if they
Speaker 1: do a US title match between them, which I mean
Speaker 1: obviously they're gonna do it, that they'll do it on TV.
Speaker 1: I would think that match, though it's a title match.
Speaker 1: I also think that, you know, being being in Paris
Speaker 1: and Sammy's French Canadian, isn't he well? Is he French Canadian?
Speaker 1: I don't know. Kevin Owens is French Canadian, but I'm
Speaker 1: sure Sammy is gonna get a great reaction there. I
Speaker 1: would have it on the actual main card. I don't
Speaker 1: know if they will or not. But the point is
Speaker 1: the fact that Sammy's Ain has now pinned the United
Speaker 1: States Champion twice in a row does not bode well
Speaker 1: for his chances of actually winning the title. And I
Speaker 1: agree with that as much as it pains me to
Speaker 1: say it that when they meet Solo, Soukoa is going
Speaker 1: to beat Sammy's Ain because Sammy's Ain literally tonight on
Speaker 1: this show just announced that, Hey, guess what I'm on
Speaker 1: SmackDown now. I would not immediately wrap a belt around
Speaker 1: his waist. Right, take a little bit of time, even
Speaker 1: if it's just one more show, one more month, before
Speaker 1: you put the title on him. You don't have to
Speaker 1: put it on him right away, right, tell that story,
Speaker 1: let him struggle for it a little bit. It looks
Speaker 1: to me like the end result will likely be him
Speaker 1: getting the United States Championship. But I wouldn't be doing
Speaker 1: it in their first match. So whenever that match happens,
Speaker 1: I'm just saying I don't think there'll be a title change,
Speaker 1: and I don't think I would do the title change there.
Speaker 1: But as far as what the main event accomplished, it
Speaker 1: established Sammy again as a credible threat to the US title.
Speaker 1: That's number one. Number two, it got Jacob fought too
Speaker 1: in the main event, again, something that we need to
Speaker 1: see more of. And as time goes on and we
Speaker 1: see Jacob in these main events, people will get used
Speaker 1: to seeing him as a main event player on this show.
Speaker 1: Not that it's going to take a whole lot to
Speaker 1: get buy in from the audience. I mean, they were
Speaker 1: already cheering for him. They already love the guy. He's
Speaker 1: going to be huge for them right long term. So
Speaker 1: it was good to get him in the main event
Speaker 1: as well. And it was nice to have a main
Speaker 1: event that did not have a fucking disqualification finish, because
Speaker 1: we've had far too many of those in the last
Speaker 1: few weeks in these main events. But on the whole,
Speaker 1: I look back at this show and it was another
Speaker 1: largely boring, uninspired episode of SmackDown that was made even
Speaker 1: worse by the fact that there were so many big
Speaker 1: names that were absent from the show. You didn't have
Speaker 1: John I mean, again, for whatever logan, Paul knows how
Speaker 1: to get heat and he's in a key match at
Speaker 1: Clash in Paris, right, he should be on the show.
Speaker 1: He was not on the show. John Cena was not
Speaker 1: on the show. Brock Lesner, we're not going to see
Speaker 1: until September twelfth. He's not even being advertised until September
Speaker 1: twelfth and September nineteenth. That'll lead into whatever that pay
Speaker 1: per view pl E is going to be on September twentieth,
Speaker 1: So we're not going to see him for a month,
Speaker 1: so you can put him on the side. And Cody
Speaker 1: Rhades wasn't there either. Damian Priest, he's out right, he's
Speaker 1: all banged up. The women's title I mean, don't even
Speaker 1: get me started again on the women's title stuff. I
Speaker 1: think I've already said my piece on that. There just
Speaker 1: is not a lot to get excited about on this
Speaker 1: show right now. And I don't want to say, oh,
Speaker 1: it's summer funk, it's the summer blues. This has been
Speaker 1: a recurring problem with this show now for a while,
Speaker 1: and it will go through these periods where you may
Speaker 1: have a really great show, you may have a really
Speaker 1: exciting string of shows, and then it goes right back
Speaker 1: to this. But this SmackDown has not been this bad
Speaker 1: in a while. Like these shows, it's it's not even
Speaker 1: like they're so bad that they're entertaining in like in
Speaker 1: like a good way, right. The worst kind of show
Speaker 1: that you could have is a boring show where when
Speaker 1: it's over, it's like, yeah, I mean the things were okay,
Speaker 1: they were decent, they were solid, but like that's it.
Speaker 1: You don't really have anything else to say about it.
Speaker 1: That's the worst kind of show, and there's no excuse
Speaker 1: for it. With the talent roster they have, there's no
Speaker 1: excuse for This is squarely uncreative. This is squarely untripleateous
Speaker 1: shoulders here. I don't know what's going on. I really
Speaker 1: don't know. It's like he's trying to top himself every
Speaker 1: week that goes by. How can I make the show
Speaker 1: even more boring than I did the week before? And
Speaker 1: that should never be the case. Two weeks in a
Speaker 1: row of this. Now, I have high hopes that are
Speaker 1: are are good people in Dublin are going to help
Speaker 1: make that show next week a lot more fun than
Speaker 1: it's been the last few weeks. But it's really not
Speaker 1: up to them. They can be as loud and as
Speaker 1: raucous as they want to be, but you still have
Speaker 1: to give them a good show. Today's episode is sponsored
Speaker 1: by Better Help. These days, it feels like there's advice
Speaker 1: for everything. Eat this, don't eat that. Try a cold
Speaker 1: plunge in the morning, it'll make you feel good. Try
Speaker 1: this sleep technique. On and on and on and on.
Speaker 1: But how do you know what actually works for you?

Speaker 1: Talk it out with better Help. Sound off listeners get
Speaker 1: ten percent off their first month at betterhelp dot com
Speaker 1: slash solom monster. That's better help h e lp dot
Speaker 1: com slash solom monster. Take a look at this poll.
Speaker 1: Eleven percent give the show an A grade. Seventeen percent
Speaker 1: give the show a B, twenty nine percent give the
Speaker 1: show a C, and forty two point five percent give
Speaker 1: this show a D. And the only reason that there's
Speaker 1: no F option is because I'm only allowed four options
Speaker 1: in these Twitter polls. Otherwise I think F would have
Speaker 1: won out the night. But as you can see, this
Speaker 1: was a resounding D show. Can't say I disagree telling
Speaker 1: you man, Collision Collision is a better show than Smackdom
Speaker 1: the way it is, that's where we are now. It's ridiculous,
Speaker 1: regious super chats. I wish I had a better one
Speaker 1: for you, guys, I really do. I wish I had
Speaker 1: a much more fun show to review, but you know,
Speaker 1: you take him as you get him. Holiday one ninety seven,
Speaker 1: we're gonna kick things off with you. By the way,
Speaker 1: we are currently sitting at three hundred and fifty nine likes,
Speaker 1: so we need forty more if we're gonna do be
Speaker 1: the booker. Let's see if we can get there. But
Speaker 1: Holiday Holliday says, Hey, Solo, which current champion in WWE
Speaker 1: NXT excluded? Do you think should lose their championship first?
Speaker 1: In your view, Solo Socoa I think it might end
Speaker 1: up being dominic Mysterio, but I think it should be
Speaker 1: solo so co Victor Buy or Sell nineteen ninety seven
Speaker 1: Shawn Michaels or two thousand Triple H. Two thousand Triple
Speaker 1: H was the best version of Triple H of his
Speaker 1: entire career, But nineteen ninety seven Shawn Michaels was just
Speaker 1: on another level. He was also probably on another planet
Speaker 1: for most of the year. That's probably what made it
Speaker 1: so much fun to watch. I'm Gonna Buy On nineteen
Speaker 1: ninety seven Shawn Michaels nineteen ninety seven Shawn Michaels was
Speaker 1: I feel like in many ways Sean physically in the
Speaker 1: ring at his peak, Hollywood guy. Was Sammy traded to
Speaker 1: SmackDown for War Games or is he going for the
Speaker 1: US title? I hope he gets his flowers soon. No,
Speaker 1: I mean I think he was traded to SmackDown to
Speaker 1: go after the US title. Win the US title? Nick Rosso,
Speaker 1: what are your thoughts on TNA moving to either A
Speaker 1: and E or CW and possibly going head to head
Speaker 1: with AW on Wednesday Nights? Also, do you think Naomi
Speaker 1: will vacate the women's title on Raw? On Monday nights.
Speaker 1: I do, I do. I think she's gonna end up
Speaker 1: having to give up the championship. My thought, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: go into the I'm gonna go into the TNA stuff
Speaker 1: in a lot more detail on the podcast on Sunday.
Speaker 1: So I really don't want to get There's just too
Speaker 1: much to get into here. But I will say that
Speaker 1: there's a very particular reason why this is happening. And
Speaker 1: this has nothing to do with competition nothing. This is
Speaker 1: I'm not competing. This is personal. Thank you, brother. We
Speaker 1: got jays Raw has a great women's division and an
Speaker 1: awful tag division. SmackDown has a terrible women's division and
Speaker 1: a stacked tag division. No lies detected there, Holiday says,
Speaker 1: do you see Chris Jericho returning to WWE to retire? Yes?
Speaker 1: I do. Shout out to dev to dust Matt Fisher
Speaker 1: with a four ninety nine. Person one, what does IDK
Speaker 1: stand for? Person two? I don't know person one? OMG,
Speaker 1: nobody does. This is like an abbat in Costello who's
Speaker 1: on first routine. Also, two people fell down a hole?
Speaker 1: Yeah green Man. At the beginning of the stream, Poor guy,
Speaker 1: Poor guy's been getting a over the last week well,
Speaker 1: you see green Man at the beginning of the stream.
Speaker 1: You know it was a bad show. Just say that.
Speaker 1: It says two people fell down a hole. One said
Speaker 1: it's dark in here, isn't it? The other replied, I
Speaker 1: don't know, I can't see. Was that person blonde? Probably
Speaker 1: Charles Turner SmackDown sucked that being said, I really enjoyed
Speaker 1: last week's nineties music chat run Away by Real McCoy
Speaker 1: and Scatman, or two of my go to nineties dance songs.
Speaker 1: What about Mambo number five? You didn't mention Mambo number five?
Speaker 1: Melissa Grasso? What kind of music do bubbles hate? Pop music?
Speaker 1: Look at Melissa with the jokes. Look at Melissa. That's
Speaker 1: actually a pretty good one. Thank you, Melissa, And I
Speaker 1: see we just hit four hundred likes. So there you go.
Speaker 1: Be the booker on the way. Fiji Finesser Triple eighth
Speaker 1: shows have been boring but never embarrassing. Well, that's certainly
Speaker 1: a matter of interpretation. I'm sure he's had some embarrassing shows,
Speaker 1: but you know what, they don't have to be embarrassing.
Speaker 1: Boring is just as bad. Let's not justify boring shows.
Speaker 1: I hope you're not trying to justify these shows in
Speaker 1: some weird roundabout way. Arabian Night, you think TNA will
Speaker 1: actually be a feeder system for WW it already is, Dude,
Speaker 1: Arabian Night, it already is. It's already a feeder system
Speaker 1: for them. It's been that way for a while. It
Speaker 1: is a stepping stone to WWE, and TNA knows it,
Speaker 1: and TNA management is okay with it. That's the deal
Speaker 1: they made, says because at the moment, more talents have
Speaker 1: gone to AAW from TNA, I e. Josh Alexander, Deanna Perrazzo, Speedball,
Speaker 1: and now Ace Austin. Well, some of those like Deanna
Speaker 1: happened before the WWETNA partnership started. But no, it is
Speaker 1: a feed Just because it's a feeder system does not
Speaker 1: mean that everybody from TNA is going to go to WWE.
Speaker 1: What it means is that WWE will be able to
Speaker 1: pick the people effectively that they want to try to
Speaker 1: prevent them from going to AW. Now, it won't always
Speaker 1: be the case. There are people like Josh Alexander who
Speaker 1: probably have the option. He made the choice he wanted
Speaker 1: to go to AW. There are exceptions to that, but
Speaker 1: that's basically what TNA has become. It is a feeder
Speaker 1: system for WWA. WWE now has power over TNA. That
Speaker 1: is the deal that TNA made. That's the bargain that
Speaker 1: they made because they are hoping the wweh may be
Speaker 1: able to play a role in helping them get a
Speaker 1: better TV deal. You know that WWE will also maybe
Speaker 1: allow them to use some of their talents sometimes like
Speaker 1: they did aj Styles and Slammiversary to sell some extra tickets.
Speaker 1: TNA is not a profitable company, so they're doing what
Speaker 1: they feel they need to do. But then I see
Speaker 1: people like Gail kim Go on social media when she's
Speaker 1: asking answering questions from people about what's going on here,
Speaker 1: and she's talking about, you know, TNA, you know, losing
Speaker 1: its heart. And the reason people are leaving is because
Speaker 1: TNA doesn't give them a reason to feel loyalty to
Speaker 1: the company. And it's a lot of reasons why people
Speaker 1: are leaving TNA to go somewhere else. They're probably not
Speaker 1: getting paid what they feel like they should be paid,
Speaker 1: but there are a lot of reasons why. Like I said,
Speaker 1: I'll get into this on Sunday, I got a whole
Speaker 1: I got a whole spiel to get into on the
Speaker 1: SoundOff anyway, Thank you very brief, shortened to the point,
Speaker 1: I guess. Thank you guys everybody who sent one in.
Speaker 1: I appreciate you very much. Be the booker, ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 1: It is now time to be the booker. It is
Speaker 1: time to be the booker on a Friday night. What
Speaker 1: is it that Sampunk says whenever we see him on TV?
Speaker 1: Is it great? Is it great to be alive on
Speaker 1: a Monday night? Is it great to be alive with
Speaker 1: be the booker on a Friday night? I would say so.
Speaker 1: We start off with the Quebecers. They were in Quebec
Speaker 1: City last week for SmackDown. We should have had them
Speaker 1: pop up last week. Jacques and Pierre, the Quebecers, they're
Speaker 1: not the Mounties and they will be taking on Imperium
Speaker 1: Ludwig Kaiser. Man. You know, I see Giovanni Vinci and
Speaker 1: it just makes me very sad. But it would be
Speaker 1: a good match given it the bell but Man, Vinci
Speaker 1: and Kaiser were a damn good team. What a waste.
Speaker 1: I haven't even heard about Vincy wrestling indies anywhere. Our
Speaker 1: women's be the booker. We have Rijo. There she is.
Speaker 1: I haven't seen Rio last. I heard she broke her wrist,
Speaker 1: but that was like nine months ago. It was a
Speaker 1: long time ago. I don't know where she's been. Rijo
Speaker 1: and Natalia. That just doesn't do it for me. Main event.
Speaker 1: There he is Dirty dom the man who single handedly
Speaker 1: sold out triple Mania Tomorrowne in nineteen thousand seats all
Speaker 1: gone because of Dirty Dominic, mysterio, the Intercontinental Champion in
Speaker 1: the main event, as he will be at triple Mania Tomorne,
Speaker 1: Dirty Dom against the tntch Look at this, the Intercontinental
Speaker 1: Champion against the TNT Champion, Kyle Fletcher. See now there's
Speaker 1: a match between two young rising stars, champion against champion.
Speaker 1: Like if you were going to put together a wweaw supercard,
Speaker 1: this would be one of the mid card matches on
Speaker 1: that show that you would have right there, right smack
Speaker 1: in the middle of the pay per view Dominic and
Speaker 1: Kyle Fletcher two out of three and be the booker.
Speaker 1: Not great, but not bad. Jeff says, I would love
Speaker 1: to see ReHO versus Natalian. No. I would love to
Speaker 1: see ReHO against the blood Sport Natty, not this WWE
Speaker 1: version of Natty. That they don't do anything with blood Sport, Natty. Oh, well,
Speaker 1: I do a Triple Mania review. So I am I'm
Speaker 1: going to be gone tomorrow. I have a party to
Speaker 1: go to, but I am hoping that when I come
Speaker 1: home I could play catch up with Triple Mania and
Speaker 1: then I will talk about it on the sound off
Speaker 1: on sign. So the answer is yes, a real forbidden doormat.
Speaker 1: That would be a real forbidden door match, wouldn't it,
Speaker 1: Doctor Scorpio. Next week's SmackDown review is going to be
Speaker 1: under an hour. Next week's SmackDown review could potentially be earlier.
Speaker 1: I will check and see if because it's international, just
Speaker 1: so you know, they're going on this international tour may
Speaker 1: be very similar to what we did in Mark So, hey,
Speaker 1: Darth Panic coming in with the in the Clutch here
Speaker 1: with the twenty dollars super shot. Yeah, So if SmackDown
Speaker 1: is going to be airing earlier, I'll use my VPN
Speaker 1: and maybe we'll have an earlier SmackDown review next Friday.
Speaker 1: I'll keep I don't know, I don't know where it's
Speaker 1: airing time zones and everything. I'll keep you guys posted
Speaker 1: on that. Any opportunity for me to go earlier with
Speaker 1: these reviews. I'm gonna take advantage of it, Broley, with
Speaker 1: the four ninety nine no effort in the fact that
Speaker 1: the three most boring factions are leading to show, like
Speaker 1: the mft's Secret Hervis and Wyatt six, I'll just stick
Speaker 1: to raw. Yeah, I mean the god you know what,
Speaker 1: it's all the factions, dude, It's all the factions in WWE,
Speaker 1: even Sets Faction at this point. I love bron Breaker,
Speaker 1: but even Sets faction is just it's missing something, you know.
Speaker 1: The Judgment Day, the Wyats, the MFTs, Secret Hervists. There's
Speaker 1: just nothing, man, there's nothing there. You have all these
Speaker 1: groups and none of them are interesting, not a single
Speaker 1: one of them. Darth panic. So if the rumors are
Speaker 1: true about Naomi, then this will be the second time
Speaker 1: that she has to relinquish the title. Well right now,
Speaker 1: that's all it is. Lots of rumors out there, nobody knows,
Speaker 1: but we're gonna find out on Monday. We have to.
Speaker 1: They can't wait any longer. They've got a PLA to
Speaker 1: promote at the end of the month, and Stephanie Vicaire
Speaker 1: is guaranteed a championship match. Eo Sky was supposed to
Speaker 1: get a championship match, So if the title has to
Speaker 1: be vacated, there's only one match that makes sense. You
Speaker 1: don't have to do a tournament, you don't have to
Speaker 1: do multi person mania EO Sky, Stephanie Vicaire in Paris,
Speaker 1: one on one, inject that shit into my veins and
Speaker 1: that's all you need to do. It's very simple. My
Speaker 1: Digimond Pro Wrestling faction is more interesting than WWE. Hey,
Speaker 1: I don't doubt it. I don't doubt it. Yeah, WWE
Speaker 1: just doesn't know how to do interesting factions. They just don't.
Speaker 1: I think Live getting hurt hurt the well, of course,
Speaker 1: Live getting hurt hurt the story they were telling with
Speaker 1: Live Morgan and Roxane Perez. Now they'll be able to
Speaker 1: pick up with it when Live comes back, But in
Speaker 1: the meantime, I mean, she's not going to be back
Speaker 1: for months, so they had to take things in a
Speaker 1: different direction and it hurt. But even when Live was around,
Speaker 1: what Live was doing was was fine, But was it
Speaker 1: on its own? Was it making the judgment day? This
Speaker 1: wonderfully interesting faction to watch. I mean, it was more
Speaker 1: interesting than what they're doing now. But no, I still
Speaker 1: would have felt the same way. I mean the Judgment Day,
Speaker 1: what we're watching here is kind of a shell of
Speaker 1: what he used to be. That's what it is. Once
Speaker 1: they lost Damian Priest and rear Ripley, you basically rip
Speaker 1: the guts out of the Judgment Day. What we have
Speaker 1: now is an inferior version of the group with inferior
Speaker 1: music too. When they changed the music, that didn't help.
Speaker 1: Also had to rebook Evolution because liv got hurt. Well.
Speaker 1: Evolution turned out to be one of the best shows
Speaker 1: all years, so they had to rebook stuff but didn't
Speaker 1: hurt the quality of the show. Should Drew win the
Speaker 1: WWE title from Cody early because Drew is great. I
Speaker 1: am all in favor of anything to shake up this show.
Speaker 1: I don't see it happening, but if they wanted to
Speaker 1: put the WWE championship on Drew, Matt Fisher with the
Speaker 1: twenty just to say meow, okay, all right, very good,
Speaker 1: very good. Matt is going to mosey on over to
Speaker 1: the litter box as I'm mosey on over to this
Speaker 1: super chat here from Broley, wwe too lazy to get
Speaker 1: new men to the top compared to the women. It's
Speaker 1: the same men in the main events scene. Every year
Speaker 1: women are beating the men you know there are, I
Speaker 1: think more so on Raw than on SmackDown. Like the
Speaker 1: stuff with Rhea and EO and the World Heavyweight Championship
Speaker 1: on that end has been infinitely better than what they
Speaker 1: have given us on SmackDown. Oh it's a direction you
Speaker 1: can fuck. I feel like that sort of Triple H's
Speaker 1: message to the women on SmackDown. Bass beers with the
Speaker 1: twenty three dollar off super chat from the rack. How
Speaker 1: many wrestlers are involved in this Street Fighter movie? Also,
Speaker 1: who would you cast as Johnny Cage in Mortal Combat?
Speaker 1: They've already cast Carla Urban, who I think is great
Speaker 1: casting for that role. I wouldn't change I wouldn't change anything.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't put any wrestler in that spot. I know
Speaker 1: people were like, oh, the miz, the miss should have
Speaker 1: been Johnny Cage. Now Carla Urban is going to be
Speaker 1: a great Johnny Cage, he says, La Knight. Now, I
Speaker 1: mean again, I think the casting is on point. As
Speaker 1: far as wrestler is in the Street Fighter movie, I
Speaker 1: think it's just Cody and Roman right, the other ones
Speaker 1: they have a fifty cent is in the movie. Jason
Speaker 1: Momoa is in the the movie. I don't think any
Speaker 1: other wrestlers are in the movie to my knowledge. Broly
Speaker 1: says Julia, Tiffany, Lyra, Steph and for the men only
Speaker 1: bron Oh. I think he's talking about women that they
Speaker 1: have gotten to the top. Well, Lyra's not at the top. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean they've done a very they've done a very
Speaker 1: poor job as compared to the women of trying to
Speaker 1: get some of the new faces over at a high level.
Speaker 1: I don't disagree with you on that. Obviously, bron Breakers
Speaker 1: is going places, but they're also Look, you gotta throw
Speaker 1: Jacob in there. You get put bron and Jacob in there.
Speaker 1: Z Paul's z Paul SENTI with a ten dollars super
Speaker 1: Chat says, Oh, that's right. Hold on, Joey, I forgot
Speaker 1: all about that. That's right. Hey, there's Vato's thing, Hiroki
Speaker 1: Goto from New Japan. He's in Street Fighter. He was
Speaker 1: cast as Ihanda. I forgot about that. So we got
Speaker 1: Cody Rhodes, Roman Reigns, and Hiroki Goto. I think that's
Speaker 1: all of them. Z Paul says. Propane has a song
Speaker 1: called the Beast is back. It has to be Brock's
Speaker 1: new entrance check it out, unless he's just a big
Speaker 1: Brock Lesnar fan and just decided to do a song
Speaker 1: for him because he's just a big Brock fan. I'm
Speaker 1: still waiting for the new Becky Lynch song to drop
Speaker 1: on Spotify. Matt Fisher says, before he died, Jerry Oh
Speaker 1: the Wall from w CW Malice was on fire. How
Speaker 1: far do you think he would have gone? He was
Speaker 1: on fire? Maybe he was literally on fire, but no,
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say he was on fire. How was he
Speaker 1: on fire? I mean maybe he was getting a lot
Speaker 1: of work. I don't remember what year he passed away.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say he was on fire, though. How far
Speaker 1: do I think he would have gone? I don't think
Speaker 1: he would have gone much further than he went. He
Speaker 1: got to work a Nitru match against Hogan, didn't he
Speaker 1: He wasn't going to go higher than that. Bass beer
Speaker 1: is La Knight for Duke Nukeom shake it Baby? Maybe
Speaker 1: maybe Aaron with the four ninety nine Naya and Tiffany
Speaker 1: are trying to have more matches this year than Sena
Speaker 1: and Orton in two thousand and nine. Also, which women
Speaker 1: would you switch from road a SmackDown and vice versa.
Speaker 1: I mean, I hate to break up what they have
Speaker 1: with that women's division on Raw, but let me glance
Speaker 1: real quick at the roster see what women they have
Speaker 1: on Raw, just to refresh my memory here, because there's
Speaker 1: a bunch of women that are not really actively being used.
Speaker 1: So we have on Raw, we have Oscar and Kyrie
Speaker 1: and EO. We have Becky and Bailey. Actually, you know
Speaker 1: what I would do. I would move Bailey, is what
Speaker 1: I would do. I'd move Bailey over to SmackDown, so
Speaker 1: Bailey would be one. You've got Lyra, Rhea rock Sand
Speaker 1: can't move any of them. I mean you could move Lyra,
Speaker 1: but I wouldn't move Lyra and Bailey. So choose one
Speaker 1: and move that person, but don't move them both. And
Speaker 1: then Stephanie and Zoe, and Zoe's out for a long time,
Speaker 1: so that's the women's and then Maxine and Natty and
Speaker 1: Live is out. Look at this they have Keana James
Speaker 1: still listed on the Raw roster. This is what I mean.
Speaker 1: They have not even updated this. Keanna James is on
Speaker 1: the fucking roster page for Monday Night. Ro Let me
Speaker 1: see who's on SmackDown See if this is updated. SmackDown
Speaker 1: has all three members of the Secret Hervists Charlotte Flair,
Speaker 1: Alexa Bliss, b Fab Candice Lay, Nicky Cross who doesn't
Speaker 1: wrestle anymore, Jay Cargill, Julia, Tiffany Stratton and Zelina Vega
Speaker 1: and Mechen and Nya Jacks. Naomi. Naomi is listed on
Speaker 1: this This fucking Naomi is listed on the SmackDown roster page.
Speaker 1: Need I say more? My god? I don't know why
Speaker 1: it takes so long for them to update their freaking
Speaker 1: roster page. Broli says, have you seen Jeepers Creepers my
Speaker 1: favorite horror movie? I did. I didn't see the sequel. Actually,
Speaker 1: I think there was more than one I liked. I
Speaker 1: like Jeepers Creepers. I wasn't expecting a Justin Long cameo
Speaker 1: in Weapons, but he was in there too, Melissa with
Speaker 1: the four ninety nine, What did one hat say to
Speaker 1: the other, you stay here, I'll go on ahead. My god,
Speaker 1: this is like the female version of sidrow Here, only
Speaker 1: not not as dirty. Thank you, Melissa. This is how
Speaker 1: much attention the women's division gets, says Roderick Well At
Speaker 1: least on the website. Omas is in charge of the website. Hey,
Speaker 1: if Omas knows how to do HTML and JavaScript, it's
Speaker 1: not like they have him doing anything else. I remember
Speaker 1: when I first started doing websites, like I did one
Speaker 1: from my old ee fed back in the day, Man,
Speaker 1: there was a program called it was a free program
Speaker 1: called AOL Press, so I started using that to edit code.
Speaker 1: But a lot of the time I was editing HTML
Speaker 1: in a fucking notepad text document line by line, so
Speaker 1: I knew all the color codes and all that chicken.
Speaker 1: I'd forget a bracket and everything would be all fucked up.
Speaker 1: I'd have to go find where the missing bracket was.
Speaker 1: Good times. Surely somebody could teach oh Mas how to
Speaker 1: do that. Have I ever seen the nineteen seventy seven
Speaker 1: Hills Have Eyes movie? No, I saw the remake. I
Speaker 1: did not see the nineteen seventy seven one. Geo Cities.
Speaker 1: What was the other one it was? I think there
Speaker 1: was another one, but yeah, Geo. I actually never had
Speaker 1: a Geo Cities page. I had an AOL page. I
Speaker 1: did not have a Geo Cities page. Yeah. On dial
Speaker 1: up no less. Yeah, that was always fun as soon
Speaker 1: as somebody would pick up the phone, I would be disconnected.
Speaker 1: You're like, Mom, don't pick up the phone. Yes, AOL
Speaker 1: dial up is ending. I believe as of the end
Speaker 1: of this month, AOL will be discontinuing its dial up service. Finally,
Speaker 1: after all these years there were still some people using it,
Speaker 1: probably you know, elderly people. They are finally discontinuing it.
Speaker 1: Have I seen Superman it is now? It's already on digital?
Speaker 1: Really No, I did not see it. I have no
Speaker 1: interest in seeing it. I'm not a Superman guy. I'm
Speaker 1: a Batman guy. Yes he People are shocked at AOL
Speaker 1: well is still on It's I mean it won't be
Speaker 1: in a little bit, but yeah, no, it was still there,
Speaker 1: believe it or not. I still have some of my
Speaker 1: AOL discs that I used to get, old floppy discs. God,
Speaker 1: that noise it used to make. It's like a dying animal.
Speaker 1: Aaron with the four ninety nine. If the streak has
Speaker 1: to end, which undertaker opponent in hindsight would you have
Speaker 1: picked to win instead of Rock? I would pick Orton.
Speaker 1: At WrestleMania twenty one of the existing people that he wrestled,
Speaker 1: cmpunk in WrestleMania twenty nine. Bes Beert says, have you
Speaker 1: seen Hereditary or Midsummer? You know I had people telling
Speaker 1: me I should see Midsummer. Did I see her? I
Speaker 1: don't think I saw her Riditarry, No, I saw the Descent,
Speaker 1: That's what I saw. No, I didn't see anyone Winston
Speaker 1: slipt buy or sell Anaconda in nineteen ninety seven or
Speaker 1: Deep Blue Sea nineteen ninety nine. I don't want to
Speaker 1: say that it was a great movie, but Anaconda still
Speaker 1: lives rent free in my head, especially the the the
Speaker 1: scene with John Voight where he gets swallowed up by
Speaker 1: the snake still lives right up here, right up here
Speaker 1: in my head. So I'll assume you're excited for The
Speaker 1: Batman too when it comes out in twenty twenty seven.
Speaker 1: I will as soon as I watched The Batman. I
Speaker 1: still haven't watched it yet. I finally got around to
Speaker 1: seeing in a violent Nature. So just to let you
Speaker 1: guys know, I'll have a little horror update for you
Speaker 1: at the beginning of the sound off. I saw a
Speaker 1: bunch of horror movies this week, and I'm not talking
Speaker 1: about it now. I'm going to save my thoughts for
Speaker 1: the beginning of the podcast on Sundal. I'll give you
Speaker 1: a little update there, a little combined review without any
Speaker 1: spoilers being given away. Be thirty minutes to down. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean look, WWF at the time had this AOL
Speaker 1: keyword and I loved it. I love going to that section.
Speaker 1: It was the coolest thing in the world. Man, Oh
Speaker 1: my god, is a WWF section on AOL. And then
Speaker 1: they had the download galleries where you can download photos
Speaker 1: like jpeg images. You could download wave files, which usually
Speaker 1: were like ten second clips of the entrance music in
Speaker 1: just horribly compressed format. And I would download these these
Speaker 1: jpeg images, probably of Sonny, and you would just sit
Speaker 1: there staring at a mosaic as each pixel would finally,
Speaker 1: you know, come into view. You'd have to let each
Speaker 1: pixel load. God, that was horrible, but those sunny photos
Speaker 1: at the time were so worth it. What happened? What
Speaker 1: the hell happened? Louise Cannon twenty years Twenty years ago
Speaker 1: today we got the famous Shawn Michaels Montreal promo on raw.

Speaker 1: a whole playlist up on the channel and each one ranked.
Speaker 1: Today's episode is sponsored by HYMNS. Coming out of SummerSlam
Speaker 1: last week, there was a wrestler in the news I
Speaker 1: won't say who, but he was talking about his hair
Speaker 1: loss and how much it really affected him and his
Speaker 1: quality of life, and how he wished he would have
Speaker 1: taken steps to address the issue years ago. And you
Speaker 1: can understand why. You know, it's a cosmetic business that
Speaker 1: they're in. This person's on TV all the time, very visible,
Speaker 1: but there are thousands of men out there going through
Speaker 1: the exact same thing who are not public figures, they
Speaker 1: are not on television in front of millions of people,
Speaker 1: but they can still feel that same shame, and they
Speaker 1: shouldn't because there's nothing to be ashamed of. Thinning hair

Speaker 1: thousand and five. Fantastic movie. I might have to do that,
Speaker 1: HBKC eighty three. In your opinion, doesn't matter if a
Speaker 1: wrestling manager is taller or shorter than the wrestler he
Speaker 1: is managing. And why I do think it matters. I do,
Speaker 1: And it just matters because just visually it doesn't work.
Speaker 1: I mean, it depends on what kind of wrestler you're
Speaker 1: trying to push. If you're trying to push like a
Speaker 1: top heel, for example, or even a mid card heel,
Speaker 1: but like you're trying to push a heel and not
Speaker 1: like a chicken shit heel who is supposed to be
Speaker 1: laughed at or booed. It just doesn't work. If you have,
Speaker 1: let's say, a six foot tall heel who's managed by
Speaker 1: fucking taller Tonga, Like, it's not gonna work. It's just
Speaker 1: not Did I ever burn music to CDs on my compute?
Speaker 1: Of course I used to burn CDs quite often play
Speaker 1: them in the car when my car had a washing.
Speaker 1: My car still has a CD player, it's how old
Speaker 1: my car is no bluetooth, but I got a CD
Speaker 1: player Duff's VIDs. Have you or anyone here seen Queen
Speaker 1: of the Ring yet? If so, is it worth buying
Speaker 1: or renting? Chat? I leave that up to you. I
Speaker 1: have not seen Queen of the Rings, so I can't
Speaker 1: I can't vouch for it. Matt Fisher watched Running Scared
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty seven, so I got one person telling me
Speaker 1: to watch Running Scared nineteen eighty seven. I got one
Speaker 1: person telling me to watch Running Scared two thousand and five.
Speaker 1: Is two thousand and five or like a reboot? Yeah,
Speaker 1: Queen of the Ring has been on I think digital
Speaker 1: enough for a while yet, Deputy Dog says, imagine Giant
Speaker 1: Gonzalez the manager and Harvey Whippleman the talents. Yeah, it doesn't.
Speaker 1: See it doesn't really work, does it. It doesn't really work.
Speaker 1: Bace beers buy or sell Exorcist or Rosemary's Baby. I
Speaker 1: gotta buy on the Exorcist. Yeah, Alien, I'm glad you
Speaker 1: mentioned that Darth pannic Alien Earth. Alien Earth that's on Hulu, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I gotta go back and just it's been so many
Speaker 1: years since I've seen the original Alien. I want to
Speaker 1: at least rewatch the original I see. I don't know
Speaker 1: if you have to watch the second movie. But I
Speaker 1: think with this new Alien TV series that just came out,
Speaker 1: I think the director may have said somewhere that you
Speaker 1: should watch the first and maybe the second one and
Speaker 1: just forget the other ones. So before I sit down
Speaker 1: and watch it, it's like the Penguin Show. Like if
Speaker 1: I'm gonna watch that Penguin show on HBO, Max, I
Speaker 1: need to watch the Batman first, so I know I
Speaker 1: have to catch up on that stuff. I Have I
Speaker 1: ever seen fourteen oh eight? What's fourteen oh eight? I
Speaker 1: don't know what that is. Have I seen the New
Speaker 1: Fantastic Four movie? Yes, I did. I enjoyed it with
Speaker 1: Pedro Pascal. I didn't like it as much as Weapons though,
Speaker 1: Charles Turner. Iron Mike Sharp versus Steve Lombardi jobber jobber
Speaker 1: B the BKR job or B the BKR? What does
Speaker 1: that mean? I'm going with Iron Mike Sharp. Iron Mike
Speaker 1: Sharp was a very entertaining job guy. You always knew
Speaker 1: that it was him in the ring. When you would
Speaker 1: hear the screams you would hear, you would hear the
Speaker 1: grunts set up. That's Mike Sharp. Melissa says, I think
Speaker 1: eighties horror is the best. Eighties horror had the greatest
Speaker 1: practical effects, and in particular I think of the Thing,
Speaker 1: I think of Fright Night, even RoboCop, like those movies
Speaker 1: back then, and Rob Botten was just the king of
Speaker 1: the practical effects. I just find the practical effects to
Speaker 1: be far more like scary and disturbing than you know, CG.
Speaker 1: I like, I'm a practical effects guy. In the eighties
Speaker 1: had a lot of movies like that. So you go
Speaker 1: back and you watch a lot of them really have
Speaker 1: have held up well over the years. Yeah, the thing
Speaker 1: has held up well. RoboCop has held up well. Some
Speaker 1: movies don't, but I think a lot of them do.
Speaker 1: Oh the flo of course, My god, the fly you
Speaker 1: talk about disturbing? Holy shit, how can I forget the fly? Eh?
Speaker 1: That's creepy. Where does John Carpenter rank on your best
Speaker 1: horror Filmmaker's list? Number one? He's my favorite. He's my
Speaker 1: favorite director. I just love I just love the vibe,
Speaker 1: the music, the feel of a lot of his movies. Right,
Speaker 1: they're not They're not all favorites of mine, but enough
Speaker 1: of them are, and it's one of those. It's one
Speaker 1: of those situations where when his movie comes on, like
Speaker 1: you can just tell this is this is a John
Speaker 1: Carpenter movie that mentioned Reboca, Like Paul Verhoven is another one,
Speaker 1: Like you could just tell, Okay, this is a Paul
Speaker 1: Verehoven movie. Some people you could just you could just tell.
Speaker 1: Tarantino's another one. My favorite JC movie is They Live. Well,
Speaker 1: mine is the original Halloween. Halloween and the Thing. Those
Speaker 1: are the two for me. Those are the two for me.
Speaker 1: But They Live is a fun movie, became a cult classic,
Speaker 1: and then he had some movies that are not that
Speaker 1: popular that I enjoy. He did a movie called body
Speaker 1: Bags I think back in ninety three, which was actually
Speaker 1: supposed to be an anthology series I think on Showtime,
Speaker 1: but got canceled, so they just ended up making it
Speaker 1: a movie. So I enjoyed that one Ghost of Mars.
Speaker 1: You know, look, I'm not gonna say it's a great movie,
Speaker 1: but I enjoy it, you know, Escape from New York,
Speaker 1: Escape from La. Yeah. Anyway, I saw some good horror
Speaker 1: movies this week. Again, I'll talk about those on the
Speaker 1: sound off. And I got to add more to my playlist.
Speaker 1: Haven't gotten to see enough good way. You know there
Speaker 1: was another one that came out last year. I don't
Speaker 1: know if it's a horror film. I guess maybe it
Speaker 1: is body horror. I guess is what it's considered. But
Speaker 1: I heard a lot of good things about and it
Speaker 1: might have won some awards with Demi Moore The Substance.
Speaker 1: I heard good things about that movie. I know that
Speaker 1: came out last year. I have that. I've added that
Speaker 1: to my list of things to watch, Doctor Scorpio, SmackDown
Speaker 1: is so boring that we're spending almost the next hour
Speaker 1: talking about movies and other things. Are you going to
Speaker 1: tell me that this isn't more interesting than SmackDown? We talked.
Speaker 1: We spent an hour talking about music last week. Now
Speaker 1: it's movies next week. It'll be food. Anything to avoid
Speaker 1: talking SmackDown for longer than I have to bace beers.
Speaker 1: Who is worse? Ralph or Richie Aprile. Richie was a
Speaker 1: real piece of work. Ralph caused more chaos, but Richie.
Speaker 1: There was just nothing redeeming about Richie. At least Ralph
Speaker 1: was funny. Richie was just a stone cold asshole. Ralph
Speaker 1: had his funny moments. At least I smoke a lot
Speaker 1: of weed with four ninety nine in super Chats, Rye
Speaker 1: Back Return is what we need, retiring John Cena, then
Speaker 1: unifying both world titles en route to WrestleMania challenging for
Speaker 1: the tag team titles. It appears as if he has
Speaker 1: indeed been smoking a lot of eat tonight based on
Speaker 1: the substance of that super shot pass some around. No
Speaker 1: love for candy Man, you know what, I just was
Speaker 1: never a candy man guy. He was never a candy
Speaker 1: Man guy. Maybe I should give it another shot. I
Speaker 1: think I may have watched the first one many many
Speaker 1: years ago. I just barely even remember any anything about it.
Speaker 1: Maybe I should give it another shot. But you know,
Speaker 1: I was never a candy man guy. I was never
Speaker 1: a lawnmower man guy. Final destination scream I love scream.
Speaker 1: Oh He's got a second A second half of the
Speaker 1: super chet here from I smoke a lot of weed.
Speaker 1: So Rye Back unifies both world titles en route to WrestleMania,
Speaker 1: challenging for the tag team titles and bringing out mystery
Speaker 1: partner Great Kalie as they win the tag team titles
Speaker 1: and hand Kali the world title, and we have Rye
Speaker 1: Back and Kallie as our world chance. So basically a
Speaker 1: modern day two man power trip, but with rye Back
Speaker 1: and the Great Collie. I think we may need to
Speaker 1: have an intervention for our friend. I smoke a lot
Speaker 1: of weed because we care about you and there are
Speaker 1: limits to how much of this stuff that you should
Speaker 1: be doing. Evidently you have exceeded that limit. Bas Beer
Speaker 1: is remember Vince Vaughn as Norman Bates. I do, and
Speaker 1: I remember Vince Vaughn is the second season of True Detective.
Speaker 1: Oddly enough, I saw the second season of True Detective
Speaker 1: before I saw the first season, and I enjoyed it,
Speaker 1: and I would tell people like, oh, I enjoyed season two,
Speaker 1: and they're like, what are you out of your mind? Like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, it sucked. It's so inferior to season one.
Speaker 1: Then I saw season one, and yes, of course season
Speaker 1: one is the best. But I think I actually it
Speaker 1: was better to do it the way that I did
Speaker 1: it because I was able to appreciate season two without
Speaker 1: being tainted by the greatness of season one. And then
Speaker 1: season three I never got to so I don't know
Speaker 1: if that's worth watching. Tony Todd in the remake of
Speaker 1: Night of the Living Dead was amazing. Didn't Tony Todd
Speaker 1: have I think the last movie role. I know he
Speaker 1: was sick at the time when he filmed it, but
Speaker 1: I think he had a cameo in one of the
Speaker 1: or maybe more than one, but he did a final
Speaker 1: Destination movie. But like the last scene that he ever filmed,
Speaker 1: because I saw the clip on YouTube and it's like
Speaker 1: he gives this very inspirational speech almost to the other
Speaker 1: like people in the scene, and I think that was
Speaker 1: the last thing he ever filmed before he passed away.
Speaker 1: Favorite animated movie solo Toy Story and if you want
Speaker 1: to go to d animation like traditional animation, who framed
Speaker 1: Roger Rabbit? But I gotta go Toy Story on that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that was literally his good It felt like he was
Speaker 1: saying goodbye because it was I think it was something like,
Speaker 1: you know, appreciate life because it'll be over before you
Speaker 1: know it, or say it like. It was a very
Speaker 1: inspirational message. And I think they said like like on
Speaker 1: the set, like it felt like his way of saying goodbye.
Speaker 1: Nord says the channel has fifty six point seven million views.
Speaker 1: Talking about this channel that's amazing. Thank you, Brother Bass Bears,
Speaker 1: Prince or Phil Collins. M I gotta go Phil Collins
Speaker 1: and Matt Fisher. You should have, uh, you should have.
Speaker 1: I assume that means listen. I don't know what that
Speaker 1: word is. Like Satney, you should have Lisatney to Charlie Parker,
Speaker 1: he's amazing. Sola Monster is a Jessica Rabbit merchant. Jessica
Speaker 1: Rabbit man, she had it going on more than Mother Wayne.
Speaker 1: That was a big Jessica Rabbit guy. Darth Panic says
Speaker 1: he's never seen any of the Toy Story movies. Well,
Speaker 1: you need to do something to fix that, my friend.
Speaker 1: Best eighties movie is The Princess Bride. Can't tell you
Speaker 1: how many times I watched that as a kid. That
Speaker 1: that in the goonies at the VHS tapes. Man, I
Speaker 1: must have, God, I must have watched those dozens of times.
Speaker 1: Be the booker Jessica Rabbit versus Mother Wayne. Oh, don't
Speaker 1: make me choose anyway. Good stuff, And in fact, this
Speaker 1: was far more entertaining than SmackDown. I figured it would be.
Speaker 1: It wasn't going to take a whole lot of effort,
Speaker 1: but hopefully you guys were entertained. I will be live
Speaker 1: on Monday night for the Raw Post Show. But before that,
Speaker 1: we have episode nine twenty five that'll be dropping later
Speaker 1: in the afternoon, maybe midday on Sunday. So keep your
Speaker 1: eyes peeled for that on all your usual podcast platforms,

Speaker 1: hit that like button here on this video on your
Speaker 1: way out. Thank you again for eighty eight thousand subscribers
Speaker 1: this week holiday gets in one last super chat says,
Speaker 1: I recommend watching Cube nineteen ninety seven. It should be
Speaker 1: more mainstream, great movie. I will look into that. I
Speaker 1: don't know what it's about. I don't know if that's
Speaker 1: a horror movie, but I will look into it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so I was gonna be busy watching the Well. The
Speaker 1: reason my watch list is so long and there's so
Speaker 1: much on there is because I just never I never
Speaker 1: seem to leave myself enough time to actually sit around
Speaker 1: and watch a fucking two and a half hour movie.
Speaker 1: So the list. The list has grown between TV shows
Speaker 1: and movies, the list has grown quite a bit. Actually,
Speaker 1: let me see hold on a second before I leave,
Speaker 1: let me see if I have the list here. I've
Speaker 1: been keeping well. I won't read the entire list to you,
Speaker 1: but I I like, I've jotted down a bunch of stuff.
Speaker 1: John Wick. I've never seen a John Wick movie. I
Speaker 1: have John now I don't like. I don't like animals.
Speaker 1: Cats are dogs, cats are dogs being harmed in movies,
Speaker 1: and I heard that could be an issue there, so
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know about that, but that's
Speaker 1: on my list. There's a TV show on Netflix called
Speaker 1: Travelers that look kind of interesting that I jotted down
Speaker 1: the name of. What else did I jot down here?
Speaker 1: The Batman? Obviously. There's a TV show called Orphan Black
Speaker 1: that I've heard really good things about. I have that
Speaker 1: on my list, and a Girl from Nowhere on Netflix,
Speaker 1: which I think is a Korean show. There's a Korean Oh,
Speaker 1: it's like a historical zombie drama on Netflix called Kingdom.
Speaker 1: I heard about that one ar Kane. Somebody asked me
Speaker 1: before about animated movies and animated shows. I know there's
Speaker 1: a show called Arkane. I want to check that out.
Speaker 1: Boys Tulsa King there's the Substance. I mentioned the substance
Speaker 1: when Evil Lurks is another movie I heard about. And
Speaker 1: Strange Darling is a movie that came out last year.
Speaker 1: So that isn't everything, but that's some of the stuff
Speaker 1: that I have on my list. So I got a
Speaker 1: lot to catch up on. As you can tell, I
Speaker 1: smoke a lot of weeds. His Big Show and Kin
Speaker 1: come out to face them the raw after he's still
Speaker 1: going on with He's still going on with this scenario,

Speaker 1: We'll be traveling for three hours to watch my soccer team,
Speaker 1: who have not won in their last fourteen games. Well,
Speaker 1: your soccer team and my Mets have something in common,
Speaker 1: because the Mets have lost fourteen of their last sixteen,
Speaker 1: one of the worst teams in all of baseball, and
Speaker 1: bas Beers says, I still need to watch Reservoir Dogs
Speaker 1: and a Bronx Tale. Two fine movies. I think you'll
Speaker 1: enjoy them both. Watch Korean Old Boy Solo Monster. It's
Speaker 1: a good film. Yeah, there's a lot of Korean TV
Speaker 1: series in movies that I want to There's some TV
Speaker 1: shows I've watched like I don't know what it is,
Speaker 1: and I found this with squid Game too, but there
Speaker 1: are There's just there's something about these Korean television shows
Speaker 1: where they have a knack for really like punching you
Speaker 1: in the heart and like getting you very emotional, like
Speaker 1: they know what strings the pull on it actually very
Speaker 1: well done the way they're able to do it. But
Speaker 1: then there's also Korean horror, like I think Trained to Busan,
Speaker 1: which I saw. I think that's a Korean film. So yeah,
Speaker 1: anything in that realm, like I'm interested in checking out. Yeah,
Speaker 1: squid Game is I love squid Game. But if you
Speaker 1: like squid Game, there's a show called Alice in Borderland
Speaker 1: which is also great, and there's a third season. I
Speaker 1: didn't think there was even going to be another season.
Speaker 1: There's a third season coming out next month, so that's
Speaker 1: on Netflix. That's one I think you'll enjoy. It's in
Speaker 1: the same spirit as Squid Game. I enjoyed that one

Speaker 1: of Stranger Things coming later this year. I spoke a
Speaker 1: lot of we. He says, who can book worse than I?

Speaker 1: I got to finish watching Kingdom, enjoying it so far.
Speaker 1: What about Tulsa king with Sylvester Stallone? How's that one?
Speaker 1: Bass Beers says, Old Boy is a must? Okay, I
Speaker 1: got it. I ever seen blood Sport from the eighties.
Speaker 1: I saw the original blood Sport and my daddy, you
Speaker 1: guarthe says. My wife can't stop watching Korea Netflix shows.
Speaker 1: She's obsessed. I don't blame her. It's like when I
Speaker 1: was finished watching the first season of squid Game, it
Speaker 1: recommended all these other shows that are kind of similar,
Speaker 1: and now I'm like seeking them out, can't get enough
Speaker 1: of them. There's another one too, It's called All of
Speaker 1: Us Are Dead. I think it's a It's like a
Speaker 1: Korean high school zombie series where they're all trapped in
Speaker 1: like a high school. I have that on my list.
Speaker 1: Did I watch Oranges The New Black? I watched the
Speaker 1: first two seasons of Orange Is the New Black when
Speaker 1: it first came out, and then I fell off, So
Speaker 1: I don't even know how many seasons they ended up having.
Speaker 1: I just I watched the first two, so I don't
Speaker 1: know if I should pick up with it or not.
Speaker 1: You know what, I never saw bird Box. I never
Speaker 1: saw I never saw it. It was like that was
Speaker 1: like all the all the rage when it came out.
Speaker 1: Everybody was talking about bird Box. Having your wife watch
Speaker 1: Korean Netflix is better than having your wife. Where did
Speaker 1: it go? It just vanished? Ej it vanished. Well, since
Speaker 1: I can't finish what that message said, having your wife
Speaker 1: watch Korean Netflix is better than having your wife. That's
Speaker 1: that's true. That is true. We just kind of leave
Speaker 1: it there. I guess that's that's a true statement. Be awful.
Speaker 1: If somebody else had your wife, I would imagine, right,
Speaker 1: I'm not going to stand for that. I didn't miss much,
Speaker 1: all right, So you're telling me I should not put
Speaker 1: bird Box on my on my list. Bird Box sucks.
Speaker 1: That's a shame. I think I'll go watch to the
Speaker 1: Net with that woman from the Bush. The man from Rio.
Speaker 1: Who do you see Orton feuding with next? Well, he's
Speaker 1: got a feud with Cody. But I mean as far
Speaker 1: as who's next, I don't know. I mean, we've already seen.
Speaker 1: We've already seen Orton and Drew, Orton and Solo. I mean, no, no,
Speaker 1: Orton and Jacob could be fun, but what would be
Speaker 1: the impetus for it, Doctor Scorpio, Yes, all of us
Speaker 1: are dead? Was really good. I enjoyed it, though I
Speaker 1: kind of regret watching it late at night. Lol. Still
Speaker 1: waiting for season two, but nothing yet. Oh god, you know,
Speaker 1: I just realized there's two episodes I never got to
Speaker 1: of the new season of Black Mirror. Have them downloaded
Speaker 1: on my iPad for the next time I fly. Next
Speaker 1: time I fly out, probably to Chicago for House of Glory.
Speaker 1: I'll probably knock them off on that trip. I don't
Speaker 1: even remember which ones it is because I skipped around,
Speaker 1: so like, I saw the finale episode, which was that
Speaker 1: ninety minute one on the uss McAllister, is that what
Speaker 1: it was? I saw that one? But yet there's still
Speaker 1: two episodes I didn't see from the new season. Ah,
Speaker 1: he resent it. Here we go, I said, having your
Speaker 1: wife watched Korean Netflix is better than having your wife
Speaker 1: watch Hunting Wives. My original comment got cut off, so
Speaker 1: I resent it is Tremor's good. Tremor's is. Yes, you
Speaker 1: should watch Tremors when life gives you. Tangerines is a
Speaker 1: recommendation for you from the wife. Okay, all right. It
Speaker 1: was a movie though, won for Best Picture a few
Speaker 1: years ago, that I'd like to see everything everywhere, all
Speaker 1: at once. You want a good movie to watch, you
Speaker 1: should check out Collateral with Jamie Fox and Tom Cruise.
Speaker 1: I don't know what made me think of that, but
Speaker 1: it's a great movie. Joseph Stewart, were you a fan
Speaker 1: of Chris O'Donnell as Robin. Yeah? I liked him as Robin.
Speaker 1: I thought he was a good Robin. Kevin Bacon was
Speaker 1: great in Tremors. Kevin Bacon was in the First Friday,
Speaker 1: the Thirteenth movie Got Killed. He was also a very
Speaker 1: good in hollow Man. Joseph Stewart is more obsessed with
Speaker 1: Batman Forever than me. Wow, he loves that movie. He
Speaker 1: definitely loves that. He's got another one here. Do you
Speaker 1: remember Seal's song Fly Like an Eagle from the Space
Speaker 1: Jam movie. I remember the song, not necessarily because it
Speaker 1: was from the Space Jam movie, but yes, I do
Speaker 1: remember the song. Yes, Kevin Bacon played John Cena in
Speaker 1: Hollow Man, Yes he did, then he turned heel. Matt
Speaker 1: Fisher says, Batman Forever is the best one. You are incorrect, sir,
Speaker 1: That would be The Dark Knight. I mean, if you're
Speaker 1: lumping all the Batman movies in together, that would be
Speaker 1: The Dark Knight. And then right behind the Dark Knight
Speaker 1: is the first Burton Batman. Jack Nicholson was a great joker,
Speaker 1: second best joker of all of them. Can't put him
Speaker 1: above Heath Ledger, but he's right below. Bass Beers says,
Speaker 1: the House that Jack built. Matt Dill great film. Anybody
Speaker 1: ever see The Stepfather with Terry O'Quinn or The Dentist
Speaker 1: with the actor I forgot the actor's name, but he
Speaker 1: played He played Benny on La Law. He was the dentist.
Speaker 1: Now we're getting into these b like b eighties, early nineties,
Speaker 1: like horror movies, kind of obscure, but like still really good.
Speaker 1: Mask of the Phantasm is the best non Nolan Batman movie.
Speaker 1: Mask of the Phantasm is Actually that's a great that's
Speaker 1: a great animated movie that I saw. That's a great
Speaker 1: one with Jimmy Smith's and Blair Underwood. La Law. That
Speaker 1: show was awesome. Yeah, it was that. That's that's the
Speaker 1: LA Law. I'm talking about eight seasons. All eight seasons
Speaker 1: are on Hulu. Corbyn Burnson, you want to know what's crazy?
Speaker 1: One of the title characters on LA Law. It's a
Speaker 1: story about a law firm in L A. Right. I
Speaker 1: know who would have thought, but like one of the
Speaker 1: like the lead partners in the firm, that's a firm.
Speaker 1: The firm name in the show is called Mackenzie Brackman,
Speaker 1: so Leland Mackenzie, right, he's one of the managing partner
Speaker 1: or he's the managing partner. The guy who plays Leland
Speaker 1: McKenzie on L A Law is the doctor or the
Speaker 1: scientist guy. I think it was a doctor in the thing.
Speaker 1: Like when I when I realized it was the same person,
Speaker 1: I was kind of floored. So that was kind of
Speaker 1: crazy to find out. Have I seen The Penguin on HBO? No,
Speaker 1: I'm intentionally not watching it because I need to see
Speaker 1: The Batman first, which I still have not done. These
Speaker 1: conversations are infinitely better than Smack down. I don't disagree.
Speaker 1: I'm in a much better mood now. Joseph says, did
Speaker 1: you know Danny DeVito was the voice of the villain
Speaker 1: Monster in Space Jam? No, I did not know that.
Speaker 1: I do know that he is the voice of Jersey
Speaker 1: Mike's sub Boy Sandwiches, But I did not know that.
Speaker 1: Wilfit No, no, no, no, no no. You're thinking of Wilford
Speaker 1: Brimley was also in the thing. But that's not That's
Speaker 1: not the character I'm referring to. Have you ever played
Speaker 1: any of the Batman Arkham games? Funny you mentioned that
Speaker 1: there was a steam sail about a month ago, and
Speaker 1: I bought Batman Arkham Knight. I think that's the name
Speaker 1: of the game. I bought Batman Arkham Knight for like
Speaker 1: three bucks, but I have not installed it yet, so
Speaker 1: it's just kind of sitting there. But I had, I
Speaker 1: mean for that, for that deal, I had to get
Speaker 1: in on it. I got that, I got RoboCop Rogue City.
Speaker 1: What else did I grab? I grabbed Need for one
Speaker 1: of the Need for speed games, and then I grabbed
Speaker 1: oh god, what else did I grab? Oh? Mortal Kombat eleven? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I grabbed them all. I haven't played any of them yet,
Speaker 1: but when I find time, they're there waiting for me. Though.
Speaker 1: Justin Hesse says, Larry Drake was Benny on La Law.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Yes, I think Larry Drake. I think he
Speaker 1: won at least one Emmy Award for playing Benny on
Speaker 1: the show. He's very good. Can you recommend a horror
Speaker 1: movie for non horror fans? It's actually kind of funny
Speaker 1: you asked that question. I would recommend Weapons, which is
Speaker 1: out right now in theaters. I just saw it yesterday
Speaker 1: and I will talk about it on the sound off.
Speaker 1: I actually think that Weapons is a really good horror
Speaker 1: film for a non horror fan because there actually is
Speaker 1: humor in it. It was not this sort of deep
Speaker 1: dark horror like I thought it was gonna be. I
Speaker 1: think if you're not really a horror fan, that you
Speaker 1: would enjoy watching that movie Hunt, Oh my God, Hunt
Speaker 1: to Kill with Steve Austin. I saw a lot of
Speaker 1: those like Steve Austin straight to DVD movies that he made.
Speaker 1: One of them was Hunt to Kill, and I love
Speaker 1: it because, like the very last scene of the movie
Speaker 1: when when he kills the bad when he kills the
Speaker 1: bad guy, like it's so dramatic and the camera like
Speaker 1: zooms in on him, and it's like when I hunt,
Speaker 1: I Hunt to kill, and like it's like the most prototypical,
Speaker 1: like cheesy eighties ending that you could think of, but
Speaker 1: like it's perfect. It's perfect for the film When I hunt,
Speaker 1: I Hunt to kill. Oh my god, it's so bad,
Speaker 1: it's good. Ah Yes, dark Man Hulk Hoke least favorite
Speaker 1: movie M and M with the twenty eight dollars super
Speaker 1: Chat says, first off, thank you Solo fam for keeping
Speaker 1: me positive. My aunt's funeral is next Saturday, second in
Speaker 1: honor of Joseph Stewart, who's the Batman of WWE. And finally,
Speaker 1: will aw give us a swerve and Hangman versus MJF.
Speaker 1: Now they're giving you a swerve against Okada. Come on man.
Speaker 1: First of all, again, condolences. I know you mentioned that previously,
Speaker 1: but condolences on the passing of your aunt the Batman
Speaker 1: of WWE Undertaker seemed to make the most sense to me. Well,
Speaker 1: they give us a swerve in the main event at
Speaker 1: Forbidden Door, They're gonna have to give us something because
Speaker 1: I don't don't see Hangman losing the title yet. But
Speaker 1: you can't just beat MJF and move on. I'll go
Speaker 1: through my forbidden door predictions this Sunday on the podcast,
Speaker 1: Vince is Bruce Wayne. Oh my god, Vince is the
Speaker 1: puppet from Saul ww W B Universe w Matt Fisher.
Speaker 1: This better work? What popped up? So? I think it did?
Speaker 1: Joseph Steward, do you remember Raven versus Vampire's dog collar?
Speaker 1: I think he means Vampiro. Is there a vampire in TNA?
Speaker 1: Vampiro's dog collar match in TNA? I do not. Also,
Speaker 1: what is your favorite scene in Space Jam and your
Speaker 1: favorite your favorite right character in space I gotta tell
Speaker 1: you I saw Space Jam after it first came out.
Speaker 1: I have not seen it since. I remember nothing of
Speaker 1: Space Jam. I have no favorite scene, I have no
Speaker 1: favorite bugs. Bunny is my favorite character in Space Jam.
Speaker 1: The best I can do for you. I don't remember much.
Speaker 1: It didn't leave that much of an impression on me.
Speaker 1: Bes Beers. Is Coco be Ware walked so mister Iguana
Speaker 1: could run? Well? Mister iguana has a dead iguana on
Speaker 1: his shoulder, but Coco he had a live bird every
Speaker 1: time he came out to the ring. Rest in peace.
Speaker 1: Frankie he burned up in a fire years ago. Got
Speaker 1: those birds? Man, if you have a bird, I mean
Speaker 1: maybe it depends on what kind of bird you have.
Speaker 1: I don't know how it is, but like cockateils and parrots.
Speaker 1: But man, if you have a bird, like you got
Speaker 1: to be willing to put the work. That's a lot
Speaker 1: of work. And they live forever, like you'll die before
Speaker 1: they do. But I have a couple of friends who
Speaker 1: have birds, and it's it's a lot, it's a lot
Speaker 1: of work. Joseph Stewart says, Dominic Mysterio as Batman and
Speaker 1: Live Morgan as Catwoman. There ain't nothing about Dominic Mysteria
Speaker 1: that screams Batman. Dominic would actually be better for Robin
Speaker 1: than he would Batman. Live Morgan could be poison ivy.
Speaker 1: And also, who is your top five favorite Looney tunes? Well,
Speaker 1: you gotta have bugs, you gotta have Daffy, Uh, you
Speaker 1: gotta have Sylvester, the cats, you gotta have the road Runner,
Speaker 1: and you've got to have the coyote. Why didn't Frankie
Speaker 1: just fly away? Well because Coco told him if he did,
Speaker 1: he was gonna beat that ass. So he stayed put.
Speaker 1: He's not top five, but I have to give a
Speaker 1: shout out. I have to give an honorable mention to
Speaker 1: Marvin the Martian. Joseph Steward. Do you remember Lola Bunny
Speaker 1: from Space Jam? I can't say that I do. Ah,
Speaker 1: Yosemite Sam. Yeah, now again not top five, but Yo,
Speaker 1: Semity Sam is a good one. Sylvester and tweety Pisco
Speaker 1: Pisco ninety five? Ever watched Who Framed Roger Rabbit? No
Speaker 1: doubt the greatest cartoon crossover in history. Too bad, something
Speaker 1: like it will never happen again. Yeah. I commented on
Speaker 1: it earlier. I said it's outside of toy story. It's
Speaker 1: my favorite. Uh again, it's not really an anime. Okay,
Speaker 1: it's not really an animated film technically, but it's got
Speaker 1: animation in it, so I consider it to be an
Speaker 1: animated film. Oh, you've got to be kidding me. You
Speaker 1: have to be kidding me. What are you doing to
Speaker 1: me these pre modes? Marvin the Martian was the referee
Speaker 1: in Space Jam. Question Mark, you're asking me in the
Speaker 1: form of a question, Joseph, I have no idea. I'm
Speaker 1: relying on you for that information. Eminem says, what's your
Speaker 1: funniest booking that you did on Be the Booker. I
Speaker 1: think you already know my favorite you versus Goldberg in
Speaker 1: a scaffold match. We do need to see that at
Speaker 1: h og And No, we really don't. I'm sure it
Speaker 1: would sell tickets, but we really don't need to see that.
Speaker 1: Thankfully he's retired now. Naya is about the one person
Speaker 1: that will work with Tiffany. It feels like it, doesn't it.
Speaker 1: Maybe nobody else wants to work with her. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know why they keep going back to her
Speaker 1: and Nya. I really don't. Basse Beers says, this better
Speaker 1: work another Be the Booker. Matt Fisher. Actually Base Beers
Speaker 1: with the twenty five and then Matt Fisher with the
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety nine just put us ten out of ten.
Speaker 1: I wasn't even paying attention to that. I was so
Speaker 1: engrossed in the conversation here that we just hit a
Speaker 1: bonus round of Be the Booker. Do you believe this?
Speaker 1: Matt says, Do you remember Tiny Tunes? Of course? I
Speaker 1: remember Animaniacs too had a very catchy song and retro
Speaker 1: koh if Space Jam two was a pro wrestling themed
Speaker 1: movie and you were the Booker. Who's going over? And
Speaker 1: why does it have to be Bugs Bunny? Well, because
Speaker 1: Bugs is like Hogan, He's got creative control in his contract.
Speaker 1: He's always going to go over no matter what. But
Speaker 1: since we hit the bonus goal, I suppose that means
Speaker 1: that we are we are in for Be the Booker
Speaker 1: all over again. So let's go ahead. Turn off the drum,
Speaker 1: rang b listen to the sweet adult sit tones of
Speaker 1: one Noah Mark. We are headed for round number two
Speaker 1: of Be the Booker. I didn't think that this was
Speaker 1: going to happen, but here we are. All right, We'll
Speaker 1: throw in some stipulations for you guys. We got barbed
Speaker 1: wires steel cage match. Oh Man, Tony Kahan's Spidey senses
Speaker 1: are tingling wherever he is right now. A barbed wire
Speaker 1: steel cage tag team match is what we're doing. Because
Speaker 1: we always start with the tag teams, so why should
Speaker 1: this be any different? Oh my god, I'm having deja vus.
Speaker 1: It is the Quebecers for the second time tonight. They
Speaker 1: have returned. I guess that they want to pull double duty,
Speaker 1: all right, Okay, then in a barbed wire steel cage match,
Speaker 1: the Quebeca is against pretty deadly. Let's try again. Ooh,
Speaker 1: all right, Solemn Monster's choice for the women's match. Solemn
Speaker 1: Monster's choice. What stipulation are we going to go with?
Speaker 1: I don't know. I wasn't expecting to have to make
Speaker 1: a choice here. Why are you giving me? Why are
Speaker 1: you giving me the choice? I can't make a decision.
Speaker 1: That's why we do this, so I don't have to
Speaker 1: make a decision. Well, I'll tell you what Solomster's choices
Speaker 1: that we choose again, that's my choice. I wasn't prepared
Speaker 1: for this. CM Punk is the referee. Oh, he's gonna
Speaker 1: enjoy this. We know CM punk is a fan of
Speaker 1: the ladies, so he gets to referee this women's match here.
Speaker 1: No one is more excited than CM Punk. CM Punk
Speaker 1: is the referee. Gail Kim is on one side of
Speaker 1: the ring. It's an impact knockout legend there in. Gail
Speaker 1: Kim and Gail Kim will be wrestling Charlotte Flair with
Speaker 1: cmpunk as the guest referee. Charlotte Flair and Gail Kim
Speaker 1: should be a very good match, and I'm sure cmpunk
Speaker 1: will call it right down the middle. And it is
Speaker 1: time for the main event. One more match and it
Speaker 1: will be contested inside Big Blue. I love me some
Speaker 1: Big Blue. Yes, the Big Blue Cage, the Big Blue Cage.
Speaker 1: You love to see it, all right, Who's going inside
Speaker 1: Big Blue? John Cena? You know, as long as John
Speaker 1: Cena has been in he's never been inside the Big
Speaker 1: Blue Cage or the Big Black Cage which they used once, right,
Speaker 1: that was for Austin and Vince John Cena. This is
Speaker 1: his retirement match, everybody. This is John Cena's retirement match
Speaker 1: in Big Blue against Nigel McGinnis. Nigel McGinnis, Desmond Wolf,
Speaker 1: you know, in honor of one of my favorite Big
Speaker 1: Blue Cage matches, which was Rock Mankind and Ken shamrock
Speaker 1: at Breakdown in your House September nineteen ninety eight. I'm
Speaker 1: going to since I'm the booker, I could do whatever
Speaker 1: I want. I'm going to turn this into a triple
Speaker 1: threat match. We're gonna have triple threat match inside Big Blue.
Speaker 1: That's what we're gonna do. John Cena, Nigel McGinnis and Cain.
Speaker 1: This is the shittier version of Cain. God. I hate
Speaker 1: I hate that mask. I hate that mask with every
Speaker 1: fiber of my being but John Cena Cain and Nigel McGinnis.
Speaker 1: There you go, that's your main event and be the booker.
Speaker 1: This guy Brian is wishing for ripo man, wishing for
Speaker 1: an end to be the booker. Joseph Stewart, do you
Speaker 1: think that Sid could have been the top star in
Speaker 1: w c W where the companies could have been built
Speaker 1: around Sid. Sid is the top guy? Sure? I means
Speaker 1: they were gonna make Sid the world champion in ninety
Speaker 1: three before he almost killed arn Anderson. That's why he
Speaker 1: was fired. Would it have helped business, That's a different story,
Speaker 1: but sure he was a big enough name you could
Speaker 1: have done that. Duff's VIDs. I took a date to
Speaker 1: the fish market, but she only Sashimi as a friend.
Speaker 1: See that just doesn't work. Such she only Sashimi as
Speaker 1: a friend. See. I think the idea was there, but
Speaker 1: like in execution, it just it just doesn't work. Joseph Stewart.
Speaker 1: Have Sid never broke his leg, what do you think
Speaker 1: Sid's career would have looked like Sid? Sid Sid's career,
Speaker 1: I mean he had already reached his peak physically, like
Speaker 1: as an n ring performer, so he would have continued wrestling.
Speaker 1: He might have had another run, maybe in WWE, but
Speaker 1: not as like a top top guy. I don't think
Speaker 1: it would have worked out. So I don't think his
Speaker 1: career would have looked any differently. I think he just
Speaker 1: would have had a little more longevity. But his career
Speaker 1: was pretty I think his career as far as like
Speaker 1: the zenith of his career was already done at that point.
Speaker 1: Base Beier says, embrace the hate for that mask. Never
Speaker 1: I'll embrace the hate. I'll embrace the hate, but I
Speaker 1: will never accept it. Depsvids he's gonna try again. What
Speaker 1: did the Mexicans say to the white guy at the
Speaker 1: traffic light? Green go ringo? Greeno? Say that works better?
Speaker 1: He's still not great, But I just did. I just
Speaker 1: didn't get the other one. Kreflow is truth. The last
Speaker 1: active wrestler to wrestle Liger, Oh Luger. I thought that's
Speaker 1: the Liger to wrestle Luger. I have no idea. Did
Speaker 1: he wrestle him in TNA, then he probably is, but
Speaker 1: he definitely wasn't. The last active wrestler to wrestle Liger.
Speaker 1: I can tell you that Joseph Steward, did you know
Speaker 1: Sid had a match with a giant you know. Now,
Speaker 1: if they had cast Sid in Batman forever, I think
Speaker 1: Joseph's brain would have just combusted. You imagine. Uh did
Speaker 1: you know Sid had a match with Giant Gonzales and
Speaker 1: w CID Oh? I remember. I believe it was a
Speaker 1: stretcher match. Oh, I remember? And were you a fan
Speaker 1: of Sarah Michelle? Yeah? I liked her. I mean she
Speaker 1: was Buffy right. I never watched Buffy the Vampire Slayer,
Speaker 1: but I liked her. I think I saw a couple
Speaker 1: of movies that she was in. Somehow we took what
Speaker 1: was going to shortly be an hour long review and
Speaker 1: parlayed that into a two hour, thirty eight minute stream,
Speaker 1: the majority of which was spent not talking about SmackDown,
Speaker 1: because fuck that show, Joseph Stewart, Did you know of
Speaker 1: Sid was in the final main event of Star Kate
Speaker 1: in two thousand against Scott Steiner for the WCW Championship. Yes,
Speaker 1: I was, I was, indeed, and I think it was
Speaker 1: the following month right where he broke his leg. Was
Speaker 1: that Sin w CW Sin I think was the name
Speaker 1: of the show. And M and M with the seven
Speaker 1: You think Triple H will use the Big Blue Steel
Speaker 1: cage for Saturday Night's main event within the remainder of
Speaker 1: WWE's contract with NBC Universal. Now why would he. We
Speaker 1: just had a cage match on Saturday Night's main event
Speaker 1: in May Damian Priest and Drew mcintary. He didn't use
Speaker 1: the Big Blue cage, then why would he use it? Now?
Speaker 1: I will see you back here on Monday night for
Speaker 1: the Raw post show. And don't forget episode nine twenty
Speaker 1: five of the sound off coming up. It'll be dropping
Speaker 1: sometime later in the afternoon on Sunday. So until then,
Speaker 1: be well, stay safe, have yourselves a great weekend, and
Speaker 1: thank you again for all the love and eighty eight
Speaker 1: thousand here on YouTube. Have a good weekend. I'll see
Speaker 1: you guys,
