1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:03,279
Speaker 1: Well, welcome to another Friday Night. It is your Friday

2
00:00:03,359 --> 00:00:08,480
Night SmackDown review, Week two of two hours Smackdowns. I

3
00:00:08,519 --> 00:00:11,839
think someone forgot to tell WWE, based on the ending

4
00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:14,160
of the show tonight and the abrupt cutoff at the

5
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:16,399
very end, that they were not going three hours tonight.

6
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:19,199
In fact, they are back to two hours for what

7
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:23,120
ended up being a very eventful, not a great, but

8
00:00:23,199 --> 00:00:25,559
a very eventful episode of SmackDown, where at least there

9
00:00:25,559 --> 00:00:29,679
were some things, some important things that happened. It wasn't

10
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:33,679
by any means a throwaway show, the biggest of all

11
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:36,719
being that we got not just a new Summer Slam

12
00:00:36,759 --> 00:00:40,600
match announs, but arguably the biggest Summer Slam match that

13
00:00:40,679 --> 00:00:43,359
will be on the card this year was made official tonight.

14
00:00:44,039 --> 00:00:47,560
We had the brand new WWE Champion CM Punk in

15
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:50,320
the house tonight. He is now officially a member of

16
00:00:50,359 --> 00:00:53,000
the Blue Brand for the first time since coming back

17
00:00:53,039 --> 00:00:56,039
to the company three years ago, and that match is

18
00:00:56,079 --> 00:00:58,399
going to be to the surprise of no one if

19
00:00:58,439 --> 00:01:04,439
you've been paying attention, Cmpunk defending the WWE Championship against

20
00:01:04,439 --> 00:01:07,719
Cody Rhodes. This is a match that they have held

21
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:10,239
off undoing ever since Punk came back to the company,

22
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:15,200
they've had little moments, interactions and backstage segments or in

23
00:01:15,359 --> 00:01:19,719
ring segments that tease the future match between them. Absolutely

24
00:01:19,799 --> 00:01:21,959
a wrestle Mania match at any Mania you want to

25
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,599
do it in, and we're getting it at Summer Slim

26
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,200
this year. The biggest reason we're getting it at Summer

27
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:29,439
Slim is because they have a shit ton of tickets

28
00:01:29,519 --> 00:01:32,480
left to sell. And don't let anybody tell you any differently,

29
00:01:33,159 --> 00:01:35,079
but I'm glad that we're finally getting it. You know,

30
00:01:35,079 --> 00:01:36,840
it's a match I've been waiting for for a very

31
00:01:36,879 --> 00:01:41,159
long time. Again, it sucks that Sammy's Ain got shuffled

32
00:01:41,159 --> 00:01:44,359
to the side to do it now of all time

33
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:48,599
Samy's aim, by the way, not on SmackDown tonight. We

34
00:01:48,599 --> 00:01:54,879
were told that he is taking a mental health break. However,

35
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:56,719
we do know he will be back next week. And

36
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:58,920
the reason that we know that is because we finally

37
00:01:58,959 --> 00:02:04,159
got a real match made official for Saturday night's main event. Yeah,

38
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,560
they realized, oh shit, we have a Madison Square Garden

39
00:02:06,599 --> 00:02:09,719
show coming up on Peacock next weekend. We should probably

40
00:02:09,759 --> 00:02:13,560
put some star power on there, a show that desperately

41
00:02:13,599 --> 00:02:16,520
needed some star Power. And now we have a tag

42
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:18,840
team match that was also made official, where it will

43
00:02:18,879 --> 00:02:23,000
be Cody Rhodes and see them Punk teaming up to

44
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:27,479
take on Gunther and Sammy's a that will be our

45
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:31,439
main event on Saturday Night's made event next weekend. And

46
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:33,759
not only did we have that, We're going to get

47
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:37,400
into all of that because there was a show closing angle.

48
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,319
Really the most important things that happened were the beginning

49
00:02:40,319 --> 00:02:42,520
and the end. The beginning is where we got the

50
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,240
announcement of Cody and Punk. The end of the show

51
00:02:45,599 --> 00:02:47,319
is where we got the announcement of the tag team

52
00:02:47,319 --> 00:02:49,639
match next weekend. But also Gunther did not take the

53
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:54,439
news very well, and Gunther attack nick All this repeatedly,

54
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,240
even though you had twelve people out there who couldn't

55
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:01,280
pull this man off, put him in the sleep several times.

56
00:03:01,879 --> 00:03:04,840
So we got one Summer Slam match officially announced. We

57
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:07,800
have the other Summer Slam match. That's all but official.

58
00:03:08,439 --> 00:03:11,319
I mean, if you needed any further indication of what

59
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:13,400
Gunther is gonna be doing on that show, you need

60
00:03:13,439 --> 00:03:15,919
not look any further than that closing segment. We will

61
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:19,439
be getting the first Nick All this match in WWE

62
00:03:19,479 --> 00:03:21,800
it's only a matter of when they announced it, and

63
00:03:21,879 --> 00:03:24,719
so clearly they are moving forward with him and Gunther

64
00:03:24,879 --> 00:03:26,599
going one on one on that show. So even though

65
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:28,439
Gunther is going to be involved in this tag team

66
00:03:28,439 --> 00:03:30,560
match next weekend, anybody thinking that this is going to

67
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:34,560
be some sort of fatal four way situation at SummerSlam

68
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:36,639
and they're gonna add Sammy and they're gonna add Gunther,

69
00:03:37,759 --> 00:03:40,479
that pretty much went out the window with the show

70
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:42,479
to although doing a fatal four way I don't think

71
00:03:42,639 --> 00:03:48,599
was ever realistic to begin with. We also had a

72
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,159
non title match on this show between Carmelo Hayes and

73
00:03:51,159 --> 00:03:54,840
Trick Williams, with the idea that if Mello could beat Trick,

74
00:03:54,879 --> 00:03:56,560
he would earn the right to challenge him for the

75
00:03:56,639 --> 00:04:00,599
United States Championship. And in the course of this man tonight,

76
00:04:00,719 --> 00:04:05,759
something happened. Something happened that I was not anticipating, which

77
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:09,360
was the return of a former WWE champion, and I

78
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:13,199
don't mean world champion, but someone who has held gold

79
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:16,199
before in WWE, somebody who's been away from the company

80
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:20,240
now for several years. We got the return tonight that

81
00:04:20,319 --> 00:04:22,480
I think many of us were expecting, but not in

82
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,720
this spot This is not where we were anticipating that

83
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:30,439
this man was going to pop up. Baron Corbin is

84
00:04:30,519 --> 00:04:34,079
back on SmackDown. Baron Corbin interjected himself in the middle

85
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:37,639
of this non title match between these two US title competitors,

86
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:42,800
immediately thrusting himself into the US title picture. When a

87
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,920
lot of people, myself included, were led to believe that

88
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,240
he was going to have something to do with Dan Hausen.

89
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:53,680
I wonder who's under the sheet now in Dan Housen's laboratory.

90
00:04:54,439 --> 00:04:57,439
He in fact was not under the sheet, Or maybe

91
00:04:57,480 --> 00:04:59,920
he was and he just broke free. I don't know,

92
00:05:00,639 --> 00:05:02,759
but I was actually very happy to see him here

93
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:04,279
because it meant that he was not going to be

94
00:05:04,319 --> 00:05:07,480
involved in the silliness with all the Dan Housen stuff.

95
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:09,920
And if he's going to have a shot at a

96
00:05:09,959 --> 00:05:13,160
serious push this time around, that's not the way to

97
00:05:13,199 --> 00:05:16,560
go about doing it. The fact that they are putting

98
00:05:16,639 --> 00:05:19,079
him immediately in the US title picture tells you that

99
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:21,160
they hope he can be a player in the mid

100
00:05:21,199 --> 00:05:24,360
card on this show, and I think he absolutely can be.

101
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:26,839
It's just funny to me that for all the years

102
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:29,680
that he spent in this company and he went through

103
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:33,360
so many different gimmicks and just, oh my god, he

104
00:05:33,439 --> 00:05:38,920
went through so many just different nonsensical stories and bullshit

105
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:45,240
Constable Corbin, King Corbin and Happy Corbin and bum ass Corbin.

106
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:49,000
The Lone Wolf just feels like a distant memory. Remember,

107
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,319
they sent him off to NXT and he actually had

108
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:53,680
a good thing going for a while with bron Breaker

109
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:57,360
the wolf Dogs, and they didn't want bron Breaker doing

110
00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:59,240
the tag team thing on the main rosters, so when

111
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:01,519
they call Corbin back up, they tried to replicate it

112
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:04,000
with him and Apollo Cruise, but it just wasn't It

113
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:08,319
just wasn't the same. But that period of time there

114
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:10,839
where he was called back up and he was basically

115
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:14,000
in the babyface role was probably the first time that

116
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:17,399
he had some real legitimate fan support, and that's when

117
00:06:17,439 --> 00:06:20,240
they got rid of him. So my hope is that

118
00:06:20,319 --> 00:06:22,480
he can kind of recapture some of that. I mean,

119
00:06:22,519 --> 00:06:24,399
this is the first and maybe the only time that

120
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:28,079
you will ever hear Baron Corbin showered by holy shit

121
00:06:28,199 --> 00:06:30,560
chans from an arena full of people. This man got

122
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:33,759
holy shit chance because they were so shocked or happy

123
00:06:34,319 --> 00:06:36,639
or both to see him back on this show. I

124
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,199
don't know that that moment for him will ever be replicated.

125
00:06:39,959 --> 00:06:42,040
One can hope though, that this run will go better

126
00:06:42,079 --> 00:06:45,000
for him than the last one. But that definitely shocked

127
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:46,759
the hell out of me. I was expecting him back.

128
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:50,759
I was not expecting him back in that spot. Jade Cargill,

129
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:53,240
we know that she is on a collision course with

130
00:06:53,399 --> 00:06:55,560
Charlotte Flair. That is another match that is not yet

131
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,040
official for SummerSlam, but we all know it's going to happen,

132
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:02,560
and so tonight the sacrifice a Lamb was the bestie,

133
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:07,360
her best friend, her tag team partner, Alexa Bliss. She

134
00:07:07,519 --> 00:07:09,639
was the victim. She got to play victim to Jade

135
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:13,560
Cargill and remind everybody that she is double jointed in

136
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,040
one of her arms, and that could be a very

137
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:18,040
useful thing. Even though this is an angle that we've

138
00:07:18,079 --> 00:07:21,079
seen done at least twice before over the last decade,

139
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:23,800
it's been a while since the last one, and I'm

140
00:07:23,839 --> 00:07:25,680
sure all the new fans who have no idea are

141
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:29,439
looking at this in horror. As Jade Cargill snaps Alexa

142
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:33,759
Bliss's arm and makes Charlotte Flair watch, she is helpless

143
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:37,040
to do anything but just sit there and watch as

144
00:07:37,079 --> 00:07:39,680
Alexa Bliss gets taken out and what I thought was

145
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:42,600
actually a very effective angle, you know, to further things

146
00:07:42,639 --> 00:07:45,839
here between the two of them. But that was kind

147
00:07:45,879 --> 00:07:47,639
of the gist of SmackDown. Really. I mean, when the

148
00:07:47,639 --> 00:07:49,279
show is over, it's kind of weird, like there were

149
00:07:49,279 --> 00:07:52,040
a lot of things that happened, but I can't sit

150
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:53,639
here and tell you it was a great show because

151
00:07:53,639 --> 00:07:58,199
it really wasn't. Things happened, but I can't. I can't

152
00:07:58,199 --> 00:08:00,800
call this a great SmackDown. Smack that was basically what

153
00:08:00,879 --> 00:08:03,879
SmackDown normally would be. There was bloodline stuff on this show,

154
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:06,600
which is just boring me to tears. Doesn't seem to

155
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:09,240
matter what show it is, raw or SmackDown, it's just

156
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:12,879
it ain't hitting. It ain't hitting the way that the

157
00:08:12,879 --> 00:08:16,560
bloodline stuff used to. This is what happens when you

158
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:19,519
basically run a different variation of the same angle that

159
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:22,160
has been going on now for what six years? Seven years?

160
00:08:23,279 --> 00:08:28,319
About six years now? Somehow this company has gotten me

161
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:33,039
to a point where I actually found myself tonight rooting

162
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:39,279
for Solo Socoa over Jacob Fatu. What have they done

163
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:42,600
to Jacob? What have they done to Jacob Fatu in

164
00:08:42,639 --> 00:08:45,679
these last couple of months where I'm sitting here and

165
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:51,519
I'm like, hey, I'm actually rooting for Solo Amazing. Let's

166
00:08:51,519 --> 00:08:54,120
talk about this show. This is your Friday Night SmackDown review.

167
00:08:54,159 --> 00:08:58,519
It is July tenth, twenty twenty six. I am not

168
00:08:58,639 --> 00:09:01,279
Solo Socoa, but I am Sola Monster, and I thank

169
00:09:01,279 --> 00:09:03,399

later on, Let's take it for a spin, Spin, spin, spin,

179
00:09:38,279 --> 00:09:41,840
here we go. What do we need? Lay it on me?

180
00:09:42,399 --> 00:09:44,679
Three point fifty? I mean, come on, we could do

181
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:49,679
that sleeping. We're already at two twenty three, three hundred

182
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:51,720
and fifty likes is all. We need a very modest

183
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:54,440
goal tonight, and we will do at least one round

184
00:09:54,639 --> 00:09:56,639
of be the bookers, so get those likes on in

185
00:09:58,159 --> 00:10:03,799
as we kick the off here. Hey jk E, welcome

186
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:09,519
to the channel, brother bliss Fan. I know bliss Fan

187
00:10:09,639 --> 00:10:14,480
is very upset over the treatment of Alexa Bliss. I

188
00:10:14,759 --> 00:10:18,799
am sure that when Jade cranked back on Alexi's arm

189
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:23,639
on the show tonight, not only did Alexi's arm break,

190
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:25,720
but I think a piece of bliss Fan's heart broke

191
00:10:26,799 --> 00:10:30,720
as he watched her writhing on the Madden pain. I

192
00:10:30,799 --> 00:10:32,960
felt for you. You were the first person I thought

193
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:36,519
of when I saw that. I said, I hope he's

194
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:41,480
not watching live now. After highlights of the Sea and

195
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:45,200
Punk return in Chicago on raw Monday night and him

196
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:48,279
beating Sammy's Ain and ending his reign at nine days

197
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:53,919
to win the WWE Championship, that's how we opened the show.

198
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,799
We cut back live to the ring where Nick All

199
00:10:56,879 --> 00:11:01,279
this was waiting SmackDown general manager who had been sent

200
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:04,759
home on administrative leave, even though he never actually left.

201
00:11:05,639 --> 00:11:07,840
He was on raw Monday night in Chicago and here

202
00:11:07,879 --> 00:11:10,879
he was in Oklahoma City tonight, and the first thing

203
00:11:10,919 --> 00:11:14,159
he did was he apologized to all of the fans

204
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:17,159
for his part in the incident with Gunther at Night

205
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:21,360
of Champions, and while he feels justified for his actions,

206
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:24,320
he takes full responsibility for his part in the incident.

207
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:28,480
He is very happy to report that after mediation, he

208
00:11:28,519 --> 00:11:33,639
has officially been reinstated as the GM of SmackDown and

209
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:36,399
he is now ready to deliver for us the SmackDown fans,

210
00:11:36,399 --> 00:11:40,000
which includes this moment right now, and he introduced the

211
00:11:40,159 --> 00:11:45,279
new WWE champion out to the ring, CM Punk, for

212
00:11:45,399 --> 00:11:48,399
what is technically his debut as a full time member

213
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:52,840
of the SmackDown roster. Punk was sporting a black eye.

214
00:11:52,919 --> 00:11:55,519
I don't know what from. Maybe it was a halluva

215
00:11:55,639 --> 00:11:58,759
kick on Monday, maybe it was the GTS that Sammy

216
00:11:58,799 --> 00:12:04,080
gave him, But in any event, all this welcomed him

217
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:07,279
aboard and said the floor is yours. As the crowd

218
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:13,000
began to chant for Punk, Bliss, Ben says, I'm numb.

219
00:12:13,799 --> 00:12:20,320
Bliss Fan is comfortably numb tonight, Bliz Fan is hitting

220
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:24,519
the bottle hard tonight. You might want to pull yourself

221
00:12:24,519 --> 00:12:26,200
away when I get to that part of the stream

222
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:27,600
a little bit later on. I don't want you to

223
00:12:27,639 --> 00:12:34,240
relive the trauma of tonight. So Punk says he missed

224
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:37,320
us over the last two months, he's been negotiating with

225
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:42,679
WWE management, NBC Universal management, and the USA network, all

226
00:12:42,759 --> 00:12:46,559
spearheaded by Nick All this to bring him here to SmackDown.

227
00:12:46,919 --> 00:12:49,000
And there is some truth in that because the reports,

228
00:12:49,039 --> 00:12:51,639
I think it was Wrestle votes that said, this is

229
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:55,200
something that you know NBC Universal wanted. They wanted Punk

230
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:57,600
on this show for as long as a year. They've

231
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:00,639
been dying to get him on the show. Now they

232
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:02,399
have him. The belief is that he's gonna have a

233
00:13:02,519 --> 00:13:07,600
lengthy run as the champion. Of course, creative is always

234
00:13:07,639 --> 00:13:10,600
subject to change. To me, it doesn't even matter if

235
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:12,799
he's the champion, Like, if you're NBC Universal, what do

236
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:14,919
you care if he's the champion or he's chasing for

237
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:16,840
the title. As long as he's in the mix, right,

238
00:13:16,879 --> 00:13:18,759
as long as he's on the show every week you

239
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:21,559
put him on the posters you want him doing media,

240
00:13:22,639 --> 00:13:25,440
Does it really matter if he's the champion or if

241
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:28,159
he's challenging for the title and chasing for the title.

242
00:13:28,399 --> 00:13:31,360
They got what they wanted. They got him on SmackDown,

243
00:13:31,399 --> 00:13:34,879
and not a week too soon, because if SmackDown could

244
00:13:34,919 --> 00:13:37,399
use anything, Cmpunk is certainly one thing that this show

245
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:41,519
could use. Believe me, this was the right move to make.

246
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:44,279
I said that from the moment he lost that championship

247
00:13:44,279 --> 00:13:46,559
at WrestleMania. Get him on Smack that he doesn't need

248
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:49,159
to be on Raw, Get him away from Roman reigns.

249
00:13:49,279 --> 00:13:52,679
Speaker 2: Look, get Richie rich over here dropping all this money.

250
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:56,080
Who is I just want you to know I think

251
00:13:56,120 --> 00:14:00,840
you rock. I don't mean the rock a rock, and

252
00:14:00,919 --> 00:14:02,080
I just wanted you to know that.

253
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 1: Oh it's my boy James Crawford coming in. Well, they

254
00:14:08,519 --> 00:14:13,000
won one hundred dollars super Chat. Say I love you Solo,

255
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:17,919
you are my IWC tribal chief. And now he's singing

256
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:23,320
Cody's Cody's old song smoking Mirrors here were only smoking

257
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:26,759
mirrors to me is a very catchy tune. Just ask

258
00:14:26,759 --> 00:14:30,720
for John Cena. He loved that song and I love

259
00:14:30,799 --> 00:14:34,919
that super Chat. Thank you James. You heard from James

260
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:37,000
last week. Look at this, he's back for an encore

261
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:39,519
this week. We got a bomb. I thought for a

262
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:40,919
moment there, I'm not gonna lie. I thought it was

263
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:43,600
a Boots bomb because Boots actually was the very next

264
00:14:43,639 --> 00:14:46,840
message in and I think my eyes kind of conflated

265
00:14:46,879 --> 00:14:49,559
the two. I can't give Boots the bomb credit here,

266
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:51,159
but I will say thank you to Boots for the

267
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:55,320
ten he says, Kathy Kelly, Oh my goodness, calm down, Boots,

268
00:14:56,519 --> 00:15:05,559
put your boots on, take a cold shower, buddy. Thank

269
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:08,440
you to you both. Back to the Punk promo, though,

270
00:15:08,919 --> 00:15:12,120
he said last Monday those negotiations were expedited. He got

271
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:15,159
a phone call telling him that the WWE champion needed

272
00:15:15,159 --> 00:15:19,679
a challenger. So he said, when championship opportunities fall out

273
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:24,919
of the sky, Cmpunk catches them. He put his gear

274
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:27,360
on in his house, he kissed his beautiful wife, and

275
00:15:27,399 --> 00:15:29,919
he drove across town to the All State Arena. And

276
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:32,159
now he can stand here and ask is it great

277
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:36,240
to be alive on a Friday night in Oklahoma City

278
00:15:36,399 --> 00:15:38,879
as the new WWE Champion?

279
00:15:39,559 --> 00:15:39,879
Speaker 3: Or what.

280
00:15:41,799 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 1: If we saw what he did on Raw with the

281
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:46,480
World Heavyweight title, so that he intends to be that

282
00:15:46,639 --> 00:15:49,919
kind of champion on SmackDown as well, which includes wrestling

283
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:54,240
on TV, which includes defending the title. He does it

284
00:15:54,279 --> 00:15:56,679
because it puts pressure on him, and it puts a

285
00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:59,159
target on his back. He knows that locker room is

286
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:03,159
filled with hungry, talented individuals that want what he has,

287
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:06,039
so He's gonna make this very simple for anybody in

288
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:08,279
the back. If you think that he has something that

289
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:12,600
belongs to them, come and get it. He's not hard

290
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:14,799
to find. Oh, I just realized we don't have to

291
00:16:14,879 --> 00:16:18,919
listen to Cody say that anymore. That's one of the

292
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:21,639
best parts of Cody Roads no longer being WWE Champy.

293
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:23,320
We don't have to watch smack that every week and

294
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:29,440
hear I'm not hard to find, but I'm hard to beat. Well,

295
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:32,480
you got beat, you got beat. So now we don't

296
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:37,440
have to hear it for a while. Thank you, Sammy.

297
00:16:37,519 --> 00:16:39,919
He said he's going to defend that championship with blood,

298
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:45,000
sweat and tears for all of us. Remember said after

299
00:16:45,039 --> 00:16:49,639
the the Rumble in ninety two, after he dumped Hogan

300
00:16:49,679 --> 00:16:51,799
and Hogan got him dumped, and it was a whole

301
00:16:52,159 --> 00:16:53,799
thing in the ring. When the match was over, they

302
00:16:53,799 --> 00:16:56,559
were being separated and there was that one fan in

303
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:59,519
the crowd that had a sign that said Hulk Who,

304
00:17:00,879 --> 00:17:02,960
and Sid pointed to it as he looks at Hogan,

305
00:17:03,039 --> 00:17:07,000
goes olk who, holk Who. That's what James just did

306
00:17:07,039 --> 00:17:09,319
to Boots. He held the sign up. He's saying, Boots

307
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:15,240
who boots, who thank you? James and James is on

308
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:21,200
one tonight. I love it Punk, said Sammy Zain. He

309
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:23,640
heard what he said about Punk on social media. He

310
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:27,079
understood how he feels. He gets it. If you want

311
00:17:27,079 --> 00:17:31,279
a shot, you deserve a rematch. I'll give you a shot,

312
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:33,880
he says. Who else? Who else? In that locker room?

313
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:38,440
He says Gunther. They're not strangers, the two of them.

314
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:40,960
They both remember what happened the last time they wrestled.

315
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:44,079
He said, if you think you can beat Punk, come

316
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:48,200
and try, because he knows that he can beat Gunther.

317
00:17:49,279 --> 00:17:53,079
It's true. Summer Slim last year, not even a year ago,

318
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:58,359
he beat him to win the World Heavyweight Championship. Who else, says?

319
00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:01,759
Who else is there? Finn back? They went to war

320
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:05,720
two twice recently. Anytime, any place, if you think you

321
00:18:05,759 --> 00:18:08,519
got what it takes, step up to the plate. Royce Keys,

322
00:18:08,599 --> 00:18:14,039
he said, Damian Prize, Damian Priest. He was avoiding a

323
00:18:14,039 --> 00:18:17,079
certain name. He mentioned Royce Keys and Damian Priest and

324
00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:22,440
Trick Williams. And then he was interrupted by Cody Rhodes,

325
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:26,119
and Cody came out to the ring without his suit jacket.

326
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:30,279
I was stunned. I was stunned. He grabbed Punk's chin.

327
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:33,680
He wanted to get a closer look at that black eye.

328
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:36,720
Just like a little callback there too, Cody and his

329
00:18:36,839 --> 00:18:39,400
black eye. After WrestleMania, when Punk looked at him and

330
00:18:39,519 --> 00:18:43,240
was like, what happened to you, Cody asked him, how's

331
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:45,839
your eye? Then Punk said, you didn't come out here

332
00:18:45,839 --> 00:18:48,559
to ask me about my eyes, So what do you

333
00:18:48,599 --> 00:18:52,640
want to talk about? And Cody remembers Punk saying, championship

334
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:55,519
opportunities fall out of the sky last time they were

335
00:18:55,519 --> 00:19:00,240
in the ring together, and there are those matches like

336
00:19:00,279 --> 00:19:02,920
the one we saw on Monday, where an opportunity comes

337
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:06,279
up and he just seizes it. There's matches like that,

338
00:19:06,319 --> 00:19:09,680
and then there are championship opportunities that have been building

339
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:15,119
for years. So Punk assumed he was talking about him

340
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:19,720
against Cody, maybe subconsciously. They've been avoiding each other for

341
00:19:19,759 --> 00:19:21,759
some time because the two of them are friends and

342
00:19:21,799 --> 00:19:24,799
he really doesn't want anything to come between them. He

343
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:26,640
always thought when this happened, though, it would be in

344
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:31,519
the main event of WrestleMania. Yeah, so did I. But

345
00:19:31,599 --> 00:19:33,279
he doesn't think the two of them can run from

346
00:19:33,319 --> 00:19:35,680
each other anymore. And Cody said no, I don't think

347
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:39,480
we can. But when Cody was the champion, he recalls

348
00:19:39,559 --> 00:19:43,559
telling Punk just say when, and so Punk got up

349
00:19:43,559 --> 00:19:47,559
at his face and said when. And so the fans

350
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:52,039
chanted ok C ok C, which they weren't doing in

351
00:19:52,079 --> 00:19:54,359
the NBA finals this year because okay See was not

352
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:58,119
in the finals. But nevertheless, so they were chanting ok

353
00:19:58,319 --> 00:20:02,759
see OKC, and of course Cody said Summer Slam, and

354
00:20:02,799 --> 00:20:05,319
that's not what the fans and Okase wanted to hear.

355
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:08,599
And so there were some booze. But Punk put his

356
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:12,160
hand out and Cody shook it. Nick Aldos was still

357
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:14,400
in the ring and he said, it looks like it's official.

358
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:21,480
CM Punk defends the WWE Championship against Cody Rhodes at SummerSlam,

359
00:20:22,839 --> 00:20:26,359
And just like that. It was very simple, It was

360
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:29,759
very quick. It was very simple. We have a main

361
00:20:29,799 --> 00:20:32,680
event for I don't just say main event for Summer Slam.

362
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:36,279
If you are of the belief that the bigger main

363
00:20:36,319 --> 00:20:39,079
event is the one that closes the weekend, so the

364
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:42,559
Night two main event, I give to you your Night

365
00:20:42,599 --> 00:20:45,720
two main event. Because Cody Roads against CM Punk is

366
00:20:45,759 --> 00:20:49,000
a much bigger deal than Roman Reigns against Seth rawlins.

367
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:52,880
That's Night one again. If you think that it matters,

368
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:56,559
that's Night one. This is Night two. This right here

369
00:20:56,640 --> 00:21:00,160
is the real main event of Summer Slam Weekend. This

370
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:02,680
is a match that has not been done in many,

371
00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:04,680
many years. I think the only time these two ever

372
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:08,039
wrestled each other. I know they wrestled on Raw. I'm

373
00:21:08,079 --> 00:21:11,519
trying to remember what year it would have been. God,

374
00:21:11,599 --> 00:21:16,400
I mean, I want to say two thousand and nine,

375
00:21:16,519 --> 00:21:18,720
two thousand and eight, sometime around then. It's been a

376
00:21:18,839 --> 00:21:22,880
long ass time, and those were two very different performers

377
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:26,279
back then than they are now. Right, They're a lot older,

378
00:21:26,279 --> 00:21:28,720
they are a lot more experienced, they're a lot grizzled,

379
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:31,680
more grizzled than they were back then. They're both either

380
00:21:31,759 --> 00:21:36,039
world champion now former world champion. So for all intents

381
00:21:36,079 --> 00:21:39,359
and purposes, this is a fresh, first time ever match,

382
00:21:40,319 --> 00:21:44,759
and Ciampunk being on SmackDown obviously they're making that out

383
00:21:44,759 --> 00:21:46,920
to be a big deal because it is. You know,

384
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:48,759
it is a big That's why, it's why they wanted him.

385
00:21:48,759 --> 00:21:52,440
That's why NBCUniversal wanted him on SmackDown. So I'm just saying,

386
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:54,720
regardless of what WWE does, and I do think that

387
00:21:54,759 --> 00:21:57,039
they'll close with this. But regardless of what they do,

388
00:21:57,240 --> 00:21:59,160
this right here, this is the big main event of

389
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:01,440
the weekend. Roman and Seth They're going to have a

390
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:05,319
great match. It's a retread. It's a retread, you know.

391
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:07,240
I mean, these two have been off and on, They've

392
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:12,160
been together and feuding for fucking fourteen years, you know

393
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:16,279
what I mean? Like, who cares? Give me something different?

394
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:20,480
This feels like something different because it is. They've tapped

395
00:22:20,519 --> 00:22:23,799
dance around this match for a while. I thought maybe

396
00:22:23,839 --> 00:22:25,799
there was a chance we might get it at WrestleMania

397
00:22:25,799 --> 00:22:28,200
this year at one point, and we didn't. But we're

398
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:31,799
getting it here and I'm very happy about that. But again,

399
00:22:31,839 --> 00:22:35,079
it doesn't get any more straightforward than the way they

400
00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:36,680
laid this out here. And I said this on the

401
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:41,799
podcast this past weekend. I was like, if they do

402
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:45,279
this match at SummerSlam, we're less than a month out

403
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:48,200
from the show, right, We're talking really about three weeks

404
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:52,519
worth the build here for a major match like this.

405
00:22:53,599 --> 00:22:57,240
Can you adequately promote this match in three weeks? And

406
00:22:57,279 --> 00:22:59,359
the answer is yes, because at the end of the day,

407
00:23:00,319 --> 00:23:02,960
what is going to carry the bill to this match? Right?

408
00:23:03,039 --> 00:23:06,240
The promos we know Punk can hold up his end

409
00:23:06,279 --> 00:23:07,960
on the mic. I mean, Punk can sell ice to

410
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:11,039
an Eskimo. When he's motivated and you give him a

411
00:23:11,079 --> 00:23:16,200
great opponent or a great story, that's that's undeniable. I

412
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:17,960
mean even when the punk shit was going on with

413
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:20,039
aw and all that stuff. I mean, that was one

414
00:23:20,039 --> 00:23:23,200
thing I know. You can't you can't ever say anything

415
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:25,960
bad about Punk's ability on the microphone to talk people

416
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:28,559
into the building, right, That's not something that ever left him.

417
00:23:29,519 --> 00:23:34,119
So between his ability on the mic and Cody is

418
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:37,039
no slouch himself. Honestly, a lot of his promos seem

419
00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:41,720
to just especially now, they sound very same y. But

420
00:23:41,799 --> 00:23:45,839
when he's motivated and when he has good material to

421
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:50,559
work with, Cody is an a one promo himself. I

422
00:23:50,559 --> 00:23:53,240
think these two working against each other should bring out

423
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:56,079
the best in each other. I like Cody being in

424
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:59,599
the chasing spot for a change, when most of the

425
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:01,920
time it feels like he's in the, you know, defending

426
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:05,279
champion spot. This is a little bit different for him,

427
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:07,559
and so I think in three weeks you'll have plenty

428
00:24:07,559 --> 00:24:10,240
of time to you know, build this up in the

429
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:11,920
way you need to, just by having them go out

430
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:14,359
there and cut promos on each other honestly, or do

431
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:17,839
some you know, sit down interview type stuff. What I

432
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:19,400
was going to say, And it's funny because I made

433
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:21,599
a little bullet here in my notes about and this.

434
00:24:21,799 --> 00:24:23,519
Mind you, this was at the beginning of the show.

435
00:24:24,759 --> 00:24:27,160
I said, you can do this without all the usual

436
00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:31,839
wrestling tropes. You don't need the can they coexist? Tag

437
00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:35,799
team match, you don't need the contract signing. Right Meanwhile,

438
00:24:35,839 --> 00:24:37,799
by the time this show was over, we already found

439
00:24:37,839 --> 00:24:40,319
out we're getting the can you coexist? Tag team match?

440
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:42,240
And you know, Dan, well, we're gonna get a fucking

441
00:24:42,279 --> 00:24:46,119
contract signing, so we're gonna get all the usual tropes regardless.

442
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:49,519
I'm just saying they don't need it here. And there's

443
00:24:49,559 --> 00:24:51,359
a lot that can be said. I think in a

444
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:54,920
lot that can be done in three weeks to build

445
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:57,160
this matchup in the way that you you know, need

446
00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:59,720
to build it up. Ideally you'd have more time. But

447
00:25:00,079 --> 00:25:02,319
it's not like it isn't doable. It's not like that

448
00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:05,119
isn't a big match that's gonna get people very excited

449
00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:08,880
for SummerSlam. And also, here's the other thing I would

450
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:13,319
say about this. This is the first match of what

451
00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:17,039
may well end up being multiple matches, and I'm not

452
00:25:17,079 --> 00:25:20,640
even saying they do them consecutively. Maybe they do the

453
00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:24,640
first match here, maybe they don't touch again until WrestleMania

454
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:27,799
next year, whenever it may be. My hope is that

455
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:30,319
the next time we see it, one of them is

456
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:34,680
a heel. Right now, it's Babyface against Babyface right for

457
00:25:34,759 --> 00:25:38,079
the first one, for the next one, whenever that may be.

458
00:25:39,319 --> 00:25:41,519
I don't even necessarily care who it is, although I

459
00:25:41,559 --> 00:25:44,599
would much rather see Cody go heel right now than punk,

460
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:47,400
but a heel punk could be fun too. But either way,

461
00:25:47,839 --> 00:25:50,960
the next time, hopefully one of these two is not

462
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:55,160
the you know, raw raw Babyface. You know I'm here blood,

463
00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:57,559
sweat and tears. I'm here for all you guys like

464
00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:00,440
fuck that shit, right, one of them will hopefully o'heal

465
00:26:00,559 --> 00:26:02,519
at some point, and the next time we see it,

466
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:06,599
the whole dynamic will be turned upside down. Maybe it's

467
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:09,720
wishful thinking, but that's my hope anyway. But they've kept

468
00:26:09,759 --> 00:26:13,880
them apart for long enough. These two, the two that

469
00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:17,920
got away from Tony Khan, two of the biggest name,

470
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:20,559
maybe the two biggest names. Quite honestly, I was gonna

471
00:26:20,559 --> 00:26:22,720
say two of the biggest name, the two biggest names

472
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:25,200
they got away from Tony Khn. There's a lot of

473
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:28,319
fun to be had here with these two, but you

474
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:33,960
can't escape the feeling that the primary reason that we

475
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:36,880
are getting this at Summer Slam this year, and this

476
00:26:37,039 --> 00:26:40,079
is absolutely one hundred percent. I don't want to say

477
00:26:40,079 --> 00:26:42,200
the only reason, but the main reason that we are

478
00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:47,440
getting this match in three weeks time is because they

479
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:50,319
have a shitload of tickets to sell for Summer Slam.

480
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:55,039
The ticket sales for Summer Slam are not good, and

481
00:26:55,079 --> 00:26:57,519
by the time we get to Summer Slam, they'll have

482
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:01,160
thirty something thousand, whatever they'll claim, of course, but they'll have,

483
00:27:01,839 --> 00:27:03,519
you know, more than what they have now. I think

484
00:27:03,559 --> 00:27:05,319
this match was going to move a lot of tickets.

485
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:08,759
I do think the announcement of this will will juice

486
00:27:08,839 --> 00:27:10,640
up the ticket sales, but where they are now, they're

487
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:15,240
in like the mid twenty thousand range, and Wrestle Votes

488
00:27:15,279 --> 00:27:18,880
had something earlier about how there's some degree of panic

489
00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:21,440
or concern, not that they kind of snuck up on them.

490
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:23,400
They've known for a while that ticket sales for this

491
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:25,799
show have been very soft, but they also didn't have

492
00:27:25,839 --> 00:27:29,079
a card announced. Now the card is starting to take shape,

493
00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:31,440
so we'll see, you know how those sales accelerate. But

494
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:35,200
they need attractions. That's why they wanted to do Obafemi

495
00:27:35,279 --> 00:27:38,160
and brock Lesner inside Hell in a Cell they have that,

496
00:27:38,559 --> 00:27:41,680
They've got Roman in Seth they do their shield blowoff match,

497
00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:43,759
and now we have Cody and Punk, which is a

498
00:27:43,759 --> 00:27:46,799
major match, right, A lot of star power in that match.

499
00:27:47,839 --> 00:27:51,160
That's the reason why they're doing it. Look, I know, oh,

500
00:27:51,519 --> 00:27:55,480
wrestling promoter promotes wrestling match that they think will sell tickets. Yes, duh.

501
00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:58,200
Of course all wrestling promoters book matches that they hope

502
00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:01,039
we're going to sell tickets. But the reason we're getting

503
00:28:01,039 --> 00:28:04,000
this match now is because they have a lot of

504
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:07,079
tickets to sell for SummerSlam. And we'll see if it works.

505
00:28:07,319 --> 00:28:10,680
As far as Sammy's Ain't is concerned, he was written

506
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:14,960
off this week under the guise of he himself had

507
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:19,119
requested some mental health time. You needed a mental health

508
00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:23,720
break is what he needed. Apparently. After if you saw

509
00:28:23,759 --> 00:28:26,200
that crash out when Raw went off the air, he

510
00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:28,319
cut a hell of a promo, very heated promo, which

511
00:28:28,319 --> 00:28:31,559
they did show later in the show very heated promo

512
00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:37,000
on cmpunk. We'll talk about that. We had Finn Balor

513
00:28:37,759 --> 00:28:43,079
against Toma Tonga Taalatanga was out there in Toma's corner.

514
00:28:43,319 --> 00:28:46,400
He grabbed Balor's leg, which gave tom a chance to

515
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:49,640
take advantage ahead of a commercial break. Balor had the

516
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:53,880
crowd very solidly behind him, so the match actually had

517
00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:57,720
some pretty good heat down the stretch entirely because the

518
00:28:57,759 --> 00:29:01,599
people just like Finn Balor. But Toma hit a running

519
00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:04,279
splash in the corner. He was setting up for another

520
00:29:04,319 --> 00:29:07,799
one when Balor charged at him and took him down

521
00:29:07,799 --> 00:29:11,799
with a sling blade and then a shotgun dropkick Tallatoga.

522
00:29:11,839 --> 00:29:14,559
He ran distraction which allowed Toma to hit the cutthroat

523
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:17,000
and got a near fall out of that. Balor sent

524
00:29:17,039 --> 00:29:19,119
Toma out of the ring and then he took both

525
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:22,759
of them out with a flip dive out over the

526
00:29:22,799 --> 00:29:26,960
top rope. He very quickly rushed Tomatonga back inside and

527
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:30,400
he finished him off with the Kuda grass pin. Balor

528
00:29:31,079 --> 00:29:36,240
is no more. How about that Finn Balor actually wins

529
00:29:36,359 --> 00:29:44,680
a match here on SmackDown. I'm pleasantly surprised. Now, granted,

530
00:29:44,759 --> 00:29:46,960
of course, you know it was against the MFTs, so

531
00:29:47,599 --> 00:29:49,799
you know, what does it really mean? Because the MFTs

532
00:29:49,799 --> 00:29:51,799
don't exactly have a lot of momentum right now, or

533
00:29:51,799 --> 00:29:53,960
what's left of the MFTs don't really have a lot

534
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:56,920
of momentum. But if you're Finn Balor, you kind of

535
00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:58,880
take him where you can find him. So it was

536
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:01,279
nice to see him pick up a win here. It

537
00:30:01,359 --> 00:30:05,519
also looked like Talatoga hurt his leg. It was on

538
00:30:05,559 --> 00:30:08,000
the dive spot when Balor went sailing out of the

539
00:30:08,079 --> 00:30:10,359
ring and took both of them out. As he fell

540
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:13,039
to the ground, you could see him grab his I

541
00:30:13,119 --> 00:30:16,960
believe it was his left quad on the way down.

542
00:30:17,039 --> 00:30:19,279
And then when the match ended and Balor quickly got

543
00:30:19,319 --> 00:30:21,839
out of the ring, Talatonga stepped over the top rope

544
00:30:21,839 --> 00:30:24,200
into the ring and he was walking, but he was

545
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:27,400
still grab it at that quad. So hopefully he just

546
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:31,559
if anything, hopefully he just pulled a muscle. I guess

547
00:30:31,599 --> 00:30:37,079
we'll find out soon enough. Backstage, Our Truth was paying

548
00:30:37,119 --> 00:30:40,880
out on a bet to axie him over Team USA's

549
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:44,079
loss in the World Cup, and Nathan Fraser said that

550
00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:48,559
Americans are better off at eating hot dogs, but the

551
00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:53,359
Europeans are better at real football. Which is undoubtedly true.

552
00:30:53,359 --> 00:30:57,880
I don't think there's anything there's nothing factually incorrect about

553
00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:02,359
anything he said. There, the war Raiders showed up, and

554
00:31:02,559 --> 00:31:05,640
Eric told well, really both of them were tired of

555
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:07,759
the bullshit in the games, but Eric is the one

556
00:31:07,799 --> 00:31:09,480
who really did most of the talking here. And he

557
00:31:09,559 --> 00:31:12,200
told Truth that Nick, all this is here tonight. You

558
00:31:12,279 --> 00:31:14,839
wanted all this, Priest had said, let's wait for all

559
00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:17,079
this to come back to make this title versus title

560
00:31:17,119 --> 00:31:20,119
match official. Well, all this is here tonight, so why

561
00:31:20,119 --> 00:31:22,279
don't you go talk to him about us having our match.

562
00:31:23,279 --> 00:31:27,119
Jimmy USO and Jacob Fatu entered, and Jimmy stood up

563
00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:29,799
for Truth, and then the war Raiders took their leave.

564
00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:34,759
Jimmy indicated that he was looking for Solo Socoa, and

565
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:38,319
Fatu asked Truth if he had seen Royce Keys, and

566
00:31:38,599 --> 00:31:40,759
Truth got very nervous and he claimed that he had

567
00:31:40,799 --> 00:31:45,119
never seen him before Damian pre showed up. Priest said

568
00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:48,000
that he saw Royce Keys, so he knows that he's

569
00:31:48,039 --> 00:31:52,359
in the building tonight. Jimmy and Fatu they left, and

570
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:54,839
then Truth asked Priest, why did you tell him that

571
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:59,920
Keys was here? And Priest remember telling Truth previously that

572
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:04,440
Royce Keys is not their problem. Elsewhere in the back,

573
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:07,319
Nick Alldos is on the phone and guess who he

574
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:09,240
is on the phone with. He is on the phone

575
00:32:09,279 --> 00:32:11,960
with Sammy z Ain, who is not present in the

576
00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:15,839
building tonight. Again he is taking a mental health break.

577
00:32:17,559 --> 00:32:20,920
So they really didn't talk about much of anything. This

578
00:32:21,079 --> 00:32:23,519
was just their way of having all this articulate for

579
00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:27,000
us on television. That Sammy told him he's taking a

580
00:32:27,039 --> 00:32:29,839
mental health break. I thought he was maybe be goin

581
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:32,119
to announce a match right then and there. I thought

582
00:32:32,119 --> 00:32:34,400
he was going to give him his rematch at Saturday

583
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:38,680
night's main event against Punk. Instead, Gunther walked in and

584
00:32:38,799 --> 00:32:42,799
so that conversation quickly came to an end. Gunther looks

585
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:46,119
behind all this was a TV screen that had the

586
00:32:46,279 --> 00:32:49,000
match graphic on it for SummerSlam with Cody and Punk,

587
00:32:49,759 --> 00:32:53,680
and so Gunther is just glancing over at it, and

588
00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:56,039
then he looks at all this and he says, you

589
00:32:56,119 --> 00:32:59,240
need to fix this. He wanted all this to give

590
00:32:59,319 --> 00:33:01,759
him a Championshi match, and he gave him until the

591
00:33:01,799 --> 00:33:03,079
end of the night. You have until the end of

592
00:33:03,119 --> 00:33:07,119
the show to fix this, and all this said to him,

593
00:33:07,599 --> 00:33:13,160
I'll take it under consideration. Jacob Fatu and Jimmy Uso

594
00:33:13,279 --> 00:33:16,680
they were in the ring and they were requesting the

595
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:22,119
presence of Solo's soca. They didn't get Solo Soca. Instead,

596
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:26,880
they got Royce Keys. Jimmy said, you don't look like Solo.

597
00:33:28,079 --> 00:33:31,200
Key said that the issue that he has with Jimmy

598
00:33:31,519 --> 00:33:35,319
is last week you mentioned my name. This week you

599
00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:39,759
mentioned my name. So guess what. And this is what

600
00:33:39,839 --> 00:33:45,119
he said, he brought Royce to that ass. Hmmm, I

601
00:33:45,119 --> 00:33:48,240
don't know about that line. I don't know if that's

602
00:33:48,279 --> 00:33:53,039
gonna stick. I brought Royce to your ass, That's what

603
00:33:53,119 --> 00:33:55,839
he told them. But he guesses that Jimmy's here to

604
00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:58,920
handle that family business. He goes that family business is

605
00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:01,960
affecting everyone around here, and it's starting to affect me.

606
00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:08,000
So Jimmy said, tonight it's all about OTC business. He said,

607
00:34:08,039 --> 00:34:11,079
OTC the man that you run the place for, the

608
00:34:11,079 --> 00:34:14,840
man who's not even here. So Jacob objected to this,

609
00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:23,000
and so Jacob stepped up to him. That's his boy, right,

610
00:34:23,119 --> 00:34:25,039
That's what they've told us, that these two are just

611
00:34:25,079 --> 00:34:28,639
thick as thieves. They go back a long time. So

612
00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:31,320
he steps up to Keys and Fontsu says, you know

613
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:33,360
the two of us are tight, so let's keep it

614
00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:38,079
that way. Keys can say anything else about anyone, but

615
00:34:38,159 --> 00:34:40,920
when it comes to the OTC, he said, please, I'm

616
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:46,480
begging you, please don't go there. Jimmy told Keys that

617
00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:48,599
he doesn't tell them what to do. He's not part

618
00:34:48,599 --> 00:34:51,960
of his family. Key said, the blood doesn't make your

619
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:55,639
ass family. It's loyalty that makes your ass family. You

620
00:34:55,679 --> 00:34:59,239
know how many family members he lost? Said, your family

621
00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:04,559
has fighting brother and cousin, fighting cousin. I wish I

622
00:35:04,599 --> 00:35:07,199
had family that I could text and call. But Jacob

623
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:11,000
knows this. He knows I ain't got no family. Jacob's

624
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:13,000
been a brother to him and he refuses to let

625
00:35:13,039 --> 00:35:16,119
him fall. So Jimmy said the Keys was about to

626
00:35:16,159 --> 00:35:18,239
cross a line that he can't come back from. Do

627
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:21,719
you understand me? And Key said, I didn't come here

628
00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:24,039
to fight tonight, but guess what it looks like. There's

629
00:35:24,079 --> 00:35:27,760
a line right there. And he took a step and

630
00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:32,079
he said, and I just crossed it. Jimmy said that

631
00:35:32,119 --> 00:35:34,360
he and Jacob will put a beating on him worse

632
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:38,599
than anyone has ever beaten on him, or beaten him whatever,

633
00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:43,719
I've just completely lost my marbles here. They're gonna beat

634
00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:46,360
him worse than he's been beaten before, is basically what

635
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:50,480
he said. And Jacob said we he goes there ain't

636
00:35:50,519 --> 00:35:52,920
no we here, Big jim this one's on you. I'm

637
00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:57,000
out and Jacob left the ring. Jimmy said, I then

638
00:35:57,159 --> 00:35:59,199
Nick all this, get a referee out here. Let's make

639
00:35:59,199 --> 00:36:01,639
this thing official. And he told Keys, you can't come

640
00:36:01,679 --> 00:36:04,159
back from this because that line right there, and then

641
00:36:04,199 --> 00:36:07,280
he went to go cheap shot him. Keys though, stopped him,

642
00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:10,000
and he sent him out over the top rope with

643
00:36:10,039 --> 00:36:12,920
a clothes line and they cut to commercial. This was

644
00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:17,679
a very boring segment. This was a very boring television segment,

645
00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:19,920
and I don't really have a whole lot to say

646
00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:21,559
about it. I mean, I'm glad that Royce Keys is

647
00:36:21,559 --> 00:36:25,719
getting some promo time, but this bloodline stuff. Man, Ugh,

648
00:36:27,199 --> 00:36:30,400
this was very dull. But it did lead to the

649
00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:37,199
next match, which was Jimmy Usso against Royce Keys. Now,

650
00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:41,000
what this match should have been was Royce Keys laying

651
00:36:41,039 --> 00:36:43,000
a beat down on his ass. That's what this match

652
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:45,480
should have been. That's not what this match turned out

653
00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:48,360
to be. Jimmy flew out of the ring at one

654
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:52,039
point with a pretty bad suicide dive before tossing Keys

655
00:36:52,079 --> 00:36:55,800
over the announced desk. They took yet another commercial break.

656
00:36:56,440 --> 00:36:59,159
After that break, Keys landed a pop up power slam

657
00:36:59,199 --> 00:37:02,280
for a two count, and then down came the straps

658
00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:04,920
and out goes Jimmy. He rolls out to the floor.

659
00:37:05,039 --> 00:37:07,360
He goes out after him. He picks him up. He

660
00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:09,519
drops him not once but twice on top of the

661
00:37:09,559 --> 00:37:13,320
announced desk with the world's strongest slam, and then Keys

662
00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:15,880
hoisted him up on his shoulders. Jimmy, though, sent him

663
00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:18,239
face first into the ring post. And now Jimmy is

664
00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:21,159
leaned up against the timekeeper's barricade. He's trying to catch

665
00:37:21,199 --> 00:37:25,239
his breath. He's trying to collect himself, and all of

666
00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:30,159
a sudden, out from behind the barricade we see Solo Socoa.

667
00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:34,519
He really loves those red the pants, right, the red pants.

668
00:37:34,599 --> 00:37:37,880
He's been wearing red for weeks. I don't know why

669
00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:40,840
he doesn't have blue. You wear red on Monday, you

670
00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:43,599
wear blue on Friday. But red is the only color

671
00:37:43,679 --> 00:37:47,199
that apparently he has in his wardrobe right now. But

672
00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:51,880
there he is behind the timekeeper's barricade and he attacked Jimmy.

673
00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:54,920
He was about to spike him when they played Jacob's music,

674
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:58,480
so he spared him and out comes Jacob Fatu. Solo

675
00:37:58,599 --> 00:38:01,960
wasn't running away, met him right at rings. As Jacob

676
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:04,039
came down, they met outside the ring, they started going

677
00:38:04,079 --> 00:38:07,599
at it. They ended up over the timekeeper's barricade. Actually

678
00:38:07,679 --> 00:38:09,920
Jacob went kind of to the side of it, but whatever,

679
00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:12,760
they ended up getting taken out in that area. All

680
00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:15,719
of this, though, distracted Royce Keys long enough that when

681
00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:19,360
he turned around, he ate a spear from Jimmy Uso,

682
00:38:20,119 --> 00:38:28,119
and Jimmy Uso went ahead and pinned Royce Keys to

683
00:38:28,199 --> 00:38:39,239
win the match, Good Lord. After the match, fa Tu

684
00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:41,639
got Solo in the ring. He stomped him in the corner.

685
00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:46,079
He spun him around and fat two didn't hit him.

686
00:38:46,119 --> 00:38:47,880
He was very upset though the two of them were

687
00:38:48,079 --> 00:38:51,320
actually was more Keys there was talking to him. Fatsu

688
00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:55,119
looked remorseful, but then he superkicked Keys and then he

689
00:38:55,159 --> 00:38:58,679
gave him a running standing sent on here, Jimmy slid

690
00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:01,000
a chair into the ring. Two plays the chair around

691
00:39:01,039 --> 00:39:06,320
Solo's head. Solo was sitting in the corner. Fatu backed

692
00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:08,800
up and he was going to go for the running

693
00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:11,960
hip attack. As he came in, though, he put on

694
00:39:12,039 --> 00:39:15,679
the brakes, and I'm watching this and I'm like, I

695
00:39:15,760 --> 00:39:20,000
thought he was all gassed, no brakes wit it Apparently not,

696
00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:23,559
because tonight he put the brakes on and then he

697
00:39:23,639 --> 00:39:26,679
knelt down in front of Solo and he said, you

698
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:29,840
better listen up on Monday when we speak to you,

699
00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:35,280
because next time he won't stop. And Wade Barrett on

700
00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:38,760
commentary said, the message that was being sent is that

701
00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:42,320
Solo should come to Raw on Monday so that they

702
00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:44,480
could speak to him on behalf of the tribal chief

703
00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:47,440
and Joe Tessiturus said that Raw would be fascinating given

704
00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:55,760
what just happened. No, no, it won't. There's nothing fascinating

705
00:39:55,800 --> 00:39:59,599
about any of this. They actually, I said at the beginning,

706
00:39:59,639 --> 00:40:01,159
they actually found a way to get me to cheer

707
00:40:01,159 --> 00:40:03,119
for Solo, so coen. And it's the weirdest thing here

708
00:40:03,119 --> 00:40:05,320
because I don't know who anybody is supposed to be anymore.

709
00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:08,559
There's so much in the way of like shades of

710
00:40:08,599 --> 00:40:10,599
great and shades of gray could be a good thing,

711
00:40:10,679 --> 00:40:13,000
but like it's kind of like the Death Riders stuff.

712
00:40:13,679 --> 00:40:16,760
After a while, you don't know, like, am I supposed

713
00:40:16,760 --> 00:40:18,840
to like these people because I really don't like them,

714
00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:20,960
but like they're putting them in there against heels or

715
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:23,960
the people in the audience are like cheering them, or

716
00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:26,039
they're split, and I don't know what this is supposed

717
00:40:26,079 --> 00:40:28,760
to be. That's basically where we're at right now with

718
00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:31,639
the bloodline. From one week to the next. Roman never changes,

719
00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:34,559
right Roman reigns has always been a heel and the

720
00:40:34,599 --> 00:40:36,840
fans can cheer and they could chant otc all they

721
00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:39,360
want to. He's a fucking heel. Okay, that hasn't changed.

722
00:40:39,599 --> 00:40:43,320
That's very well established. He's an asshole, so we know that.

723
00:40:43,719 --> 00:40:46,199
So then we have the ussos and again it seems

724
00:40:46,239 --> 00:40:48,159
to change from week to week. The people love to

725
00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:52,079
yeat when Jay Uso comes out, but even Jay like

726
00:40:52,159 --> 00:40:55,639
sometimes he gets all like riled up about something or

727
00:40:55,639 --> 00:40:58,079
he gets up in like La Knight's face or whatever

728
00:40:58,119 --> 00:41:00,440
it may be. And we don't know if he supposed

729
00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:04,039
to be a healer, a babyface, Jimmy, same thing, Jacob.

730
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:06,920
I don't know what the fuck is going on with Jacob.

731
00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:09,199
It's sad. It's sad that I was more into seeing

732
00:41:09,239 --> 00:41:12,079
what Solo Sokoa was going to do tonight than Jacob Fatu.

733
00:41:12,119 --> 00:41:14,639
But this is where we are Solo like, is he

734
00:41:14,679 --> 00:41:16,719
gonna go Babyface or not? I don't know, but it

735
00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:19,239
seems pretty clear to me that come Summer Slam it's

736
00:41:19,239 --> 00:41:21,119
going to be a six man tag because all of

737
00:41:21,159 --> 00:41:24,239
these men are intertwined. Right tonight it was Solo and Keys.

738
00:41:24,239 --> 00:41:26,039
The only person who was not on the show tonight

739
00:41:26,079 --> 00:41:28,440
and involved in all this was La Night. And if

740
00:41:28,480 --> 00:41:30,599
they're saying that they want Solo to come to RAW

741
00:41:30,639 --> 00:41:32,960
on Monday, then that's probably when we see La Night

742
00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:36,039
get involved in this and we'll get a six man

743
00:41:36,079 --> 00:41:38,599
tag and it'll be Jacob Fatu in the USOS against

744
00:41:38,639 --> 00:41:43,920
Royce Key, Solo, Socoa, and La Night at SummerSlam. Right

745
00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:46,280
It's it's it seemed very likely for the past week

746
00:41:46,360 --> 00:41:49,320
or so that that's the match that they're building towards here.

747
00:41:49,360 --> 00:41:53,719
But you know, watching Jimmy, you know, beat Keys in

748
00:41:53,719 --> 00:41:57,159
this match with a fucking spear, it was just depressing.

749
00:41:58,679 --> 00:42:00,760
It was I was really hop hoping this match was

750
00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:02,480
not going to go that way, and then they did

751
00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:06,800
it and I was like, oh God, speaking of Oh God,

752
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:10,119
there he is. There's Vince say he loot of Vince McMahon,

753
00:42:10,159 --> 00:42:15,719
everybody on your screen? Who is that? Who set that

754
00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:24,320
super chat in Raheem Cody Raheem Cody says Punk's chest

755
00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:31,519
hair is his waxer on leave. I don't know. I

756
00:42:31,559 --> 00:42:37,159
wasn't really paying much attention to his chest, Thank you,

757
00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:46,119
Raheem Cody. Sammy's ain his social media video from after All,

758
00:42:46,159 --> 00:42:48,719
the one that I referenced earlier, the crash out. They

759
00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:53,079
showed it here on this show. He was complaining about

760
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:58,440
cm Punk, you know, ruining not just his title, reigning me.

761
00:42:58,480 --> 00:43:01,440
He said, after twenty four years, how could this guy

762
00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:06,239
come back when he's been gone for two months? He

763
00:43:06,280 --> 00:43:08,719
hasn't even been around. He just shows up and just

764
00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:12,320
like that, he's the new WWE champion. They censored him.

765
00:43:12,320 --> 00:43:17,400
He called Punk a motherfucker. So Kathy Kelly interviewed Punk

766
00:43:17,400 --> 00:43:20,800
in the back and she asked him about Sammy's comments

767
00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:26,199
and Gunther's comments. I just noticed we are one away

768
00:43:26,840 --> 00:43:30,800
from the bonus goal. Very good. By the way, for

769
00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:33,079
those of you who are joining late, there's the wheel.

770
00:43:33,480 --> 00:43:36,920
Three hundred and fifty likes was the main goal. We

771
00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:39,199
have surpassed that. We are now at four oh nine

772
00:43:40,159 --> 00:43:45,599
so we are guaranteed one round, possibly two. We're nine

773
00:43:45,639 --> 00:43:47,199
out of ten on the bonus goal. We'll see how

774
00:43:47,239 --> 00:43:51,039
that goes. But Kathy asked him about the comments being

775
00:43:51,039 --> 00:43:54,199
made by Zay and by Gunther, and Punk said he

776
00:43:54,199 --> 00:43:57,639
hopes everyone is upset that he's wrestling Cody Road at SummerSlam.

777
00:43:57,880 --> 00:43:59,760
Said that he wants everybody to be upset about it

778
00:43:59,760 --> 00:44:02,880
because they can get in line behind them. And Punk

779
00:44:02,880 --> 00:44:05,719
said he's been called much worse, especially on social media,

780
00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:08,920
than what Sammy's aint called him. So Punk turned and

781
00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:14,360
he saw Johnny Gargano what else, planking on a crate

782
00:44:16,440 --> 00:44:20,599
and Candace Loray was standing right next to him. Candace

783
00:44:20,639 --> 00:44:23,320
says that, you know, sammy'se a might be annoying, but

784
00:44:23,519 --> 00:44:26,280
he never gave up on Johnny. There was hope for

785
00:44:26,360 --> 00:44:29,039
people like them because of Sammy's ain't and Punk stole

786
00:44:29,119 --> 00:44:33,039
that from them. And Punk says, you know, he hopes

787
00:44:33,079 --> 00:44:36,039
that Johnny can hear him. He remembers the real Johnny,

788
00:44:36,800 --> 00:44:40,599
Johnny wrestling, and Candace too. He says that they should

789
00:44:40,599 --> 00:44:42,639
be in the ring doing what they do best because

790
00:44:42,719 --> 00:44:48,320
this this isn't working. It hasn't been working for months.

791
00:44:48,880 --> 00:44:51,119
But that hasn't stopped them from continuing to do it.

792
00:44:53,400 --> 00:44:56,400
So he turned to go leave, and standing there is

793
00:44:56,599 --> 00:45:01,519
Finn Balor smiling in his face, and Balor welcomes the

794
00:45:01,639 --> 00:45:06,239
champion to SmackDown. I look forward to the inevitable third

795
00:45:06,320 --> 00:45:11,199
encounter when Punk beats Balor again. I said before, you know,

796
00:45:11,280 --> 00:45:14,119
pinn Balor is gone, but I didn't say pin Balor

797
00:45:14,199 --> 00:45:16,360
was gone forever. Pin Balor is gone for one night.

798
00:45:16,440 --> 00:45:19,440
He's gone for one week. He'll be back. Oh, he'll

799
00:45:19,440 --> 00:45:21,920
be back, Pinn Balor. From what I understand, I got

800
00:45:21,920 --> 00:45:24,079
some breaking news here. This isn't even news that Meltz

801
00:45:24,239 --> 00:45:27,639
had or Sap or anybody else or Wrestle votes or

802
00:45:27,679 --> 00:45:31,119
Wressel votes or anyone. I hear from my birdies and

803
00:45:31,199 --> 00:45:37,159
my sources that pin Balor is actually away on vacation Ireland.

804
00:45:38,320 --> 00:45:40,880
He's gone back to go you know, visit the family

805
00:45:42,199 --> 00:45:45,000
and you know, just do what you do in Ireland.

806
00:45:45,039 --> 00:45:47,079
I haven't been to Ireland. It is one place I

807
00:45:47,079 --> 00:45:49,800
would like to go to one day. But he'll be back.

808
00:45:50,199 --> 00:45:51,920
Oht believe me, he'll be back, and it won't be

809
00:45:52,039 --> 00:45:56,519
very long before he's back. After this, we had Alexa

810
00:45:56,599 --> 00:46:01,440
Bliss with Charlotte Flair in her corner, taking on Jade

811
00:46:01,480 --> 00:46:05,559
Cargill who had the batties meechin and BFAB in hers.

812
00:46:06,760 --> 00:46:09,400
Later in the match, there was an attempt by Bliss

813
00:46:09,440 --> 00:46:12,159
at a high cross body. She got snatched right out

814
00:46:12,159 --> 00:46:15,039
of the air, caught by Jade, but she reversed out

815
00:46:15,039 --> 00:46:17,880
of that into a sister Abigail DDT attempt and when

816
00:46:17,880 --> 00:46:19,920
she did boy she got a nice pop for it too.

817
00:46:20,760 --> 00:46:24,159
She couldn't follow through though on the move. Jade was

818
00:46:24,199 --> 00:46:28,159
able to counter out of that. The batties got involved here,

819
00:46:28,239 --> 00:46:34,079
so Charlotte reciprocated, and then Meetchen went after Charlotte. Charlotte

820
00:46:34,119 --> 00:46:37,880
took out Meechen, but then Bfab took out Charlotte. Bfab

821
00:46:37,920 --> 00:46:40,159
at that point gets up on the apron. Alexa then

822
00:46:40,239 --> 00:46:43,920
knocks Bfab off the apron, but then she turned and

823
00:46:43,960 --> 00:46:47,760
walked right into a pump kick and then Jade put

824
00:46:47,800 --> 00:46:51,719
her down with Jaded to win the match. Now, when

825
00:46:51,719 --> 00:46:54,079
the match was over, the batties they were going on

826
00:46:54,119 --> 00:47:00,320
a three on one assault here basically on Charlotte. Meanwhile,

827
00:47:00,400 --> 00:47:03,400
Jade grabs a steel chair or they grab one for her.

828
00:47:04,320 --> 00:47:09,760
Alexa is still down. She places Alexa's left arm in

829
00:47:09,840 --> 00:47:13,559
the chair, and I thought she was gonna stomp on

830
00:47:13,599 --> 00:47:16,960
it like pilmanize it. She didn't do that. She begins

831
00:47:17,039 --> 00:47:19,440
to bend the chair backwards a little bit, and you

832
00:47:19,480 --> 00:47:22,800
can see the angle of Alexa's elbow is. It's all

833
00:47:22,880 --> 00:47:25,880
like the torque is being put on it. It's bending

834
00:47:25,920 --> 00:47:29,320
at this, this disgusting angle. And again, for those of

835
00:47:29,320 --> 00:47:32,679
you who don't remember, or if you weren't watching SmackDown back,

836
00:47:32,719 --> 00:47:35,480
then she is double jointed. They've done a couple of

837
00:47:35,519 --> 00:47:38,519
angles before. It's definitely more than once they've done the

838
00:47:38,519 --> 00:47:42,800
angle where excuse me, somebody does something to her and

839
00:47:42,840 --> 00:47:46,519
they try to break her arm, snap it whatever, and

840
00:47:46,559 --> 00:47:48,840
then she can just kind of, I guess, you know, whatever,

841
00:47:48,960 --> 00:47:51,079
like just twist it in such a way that makes

842
00:47:51,119 --> 00:47:53,239
you want to vomit. Right, it looks great, It looks

843
00:47:53,280 --> 00:47:57,519
devastating and looks disgusting. It looks painful. I do wonder though,

844
00:47:57,559 --> 00:48:01,400
if that is uh any of our double jointed people

845
00:48:01,400 --> 00:48:04,480
can tell me if there is any any real pain involved.

846
00:48:06,119 --> 00:48:10,000
I don't know. I am not double jointed. Even if

847
00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:11,599
I was, I don't think I would have the balls

848
00:48:11,599 --> 00:48:17,800
to even try something like that. But anyway, so she

849
00:48:18,039 --> 00:48:23,880
begins to wrench back on the chair and then Alexis

850
00:48:23,920 --> 00:48:28,639
starts turning with her. So it didn't really like the

851
00:48:28,719 --> 00:48:31,519
last thing Jay did was she gave it like one

852
00:48:31,559 --> 00:48:34,480
good snap down to the mat and Alexis sold it

853
00:48:34,480 --> 00:48:37,159
well and everything. But like when Alexa started moving her

854
00:48:37,199 --> 00:48:39,760
own body and kind of rolling over because she was

855
00:48:39,800 --> 00:48:42,280
on her stomach and now she's I don't know, it

856
00:48:42,360 --> 00:48:44,119
just it felt. I don't know if it was meant

857
00:48:44,159 --> 00:48:49,360
to come off that way or not. That part didn't

858
00:48:49,400 --> 00:48:51,800
look too great. But at the end of it, she's

859
00:48:51,800 --> 00:48:53,840
selling the arm and they're showing the arm. They get

860
00:48:53,880 --> 00:48:56,280
a close up view and it's at this disgusting angle,

861
00:48:56,440 --> 00:48:59,280
and it was great. I thought it was actually a

862
00:48:59,360 --> 00:49:03,199
very effective way of putting heat on Jade. She went

863
00:49:03,239 --> 00:49:07,400
after Charlotte's partner, She went after her best friend. They

864
00:49:07,400 --> 00:49:12,039
did something very similar earlier this year. Oh yeah, with

865
00:49:12,360 --> 00:49:15,880
Jade and Rhea going into WrestleMania. I said, the only

866
00:49:15,920 --> 00:49:17,840
card they really have to play here, if they really

867
00:49:17,880 --> 00:49:20,119
want to put some heat on Jade and get some

868
00:49:20,199 --> 00:49:23,880
sympathy for Rhea wanting to get revenge, you have Jade

869
00:49:23,880 --> 00:49:26,880
go after EO, try to believe is what she did

870
00:49:27,639 --> 00:49:30,280
to try to get to to Ria. So they're just

871
00:49:30,360 --> 00:49:32,320
running the same angle back here. They're just doing it

872
00:49:32,360 --> 00:49:35,039
with Charlotte and Alexa instead. But I thought what they

873
00:49:35,079 --> 00:49:41,519
did was actually very effective. Jojo says, it's not painful

874
00:49:41,599 --> 00:49:49,599
for me, Okay, good, good, Well you know who it

875
00:49:49,639 --> 00:49:52,079
was painful for. Although this was not double joint. This

876
00:49:52,119 --> 00:49:54,000
is something completely different. But it made me think of

877
00:49:55,119 --> 00:49:59,559
Mel Gibson in Lethal Weapon when his shoulder goes out.

878
00:49:59,679 --> 00:50:01,800
It's it's the thing where he did It's SummerSlam last

879
00:50:01,880 --> 00:50:04,239
year and he has to find like a wall or

880
00:50:04,239 --> 00:50:06,920
something or a pole, and he smashes his shoulder and

881
00:50:07,039 --> 00:50:09,679
put his shoulder back into place that I would imagine

882
00:50:09,679 --> 00:50:12,800
that has to hurt like a fucking bitch. Oh my god,

883
00:50:13,559 --> 00:50:16,519
that's very different. Though I had my arm pulled out

884
00:50:16,519 --> 00:50:18,079
of the socket when I was very young, it did

885
00:50:18,119 --> 00:50:20,199
not from what I remember, it did not feel too good.

886
00:50:22,360 --> 00:50:26,159
In the back, Uh, here we go, Here we go.

887
00:50:28,360 --> 00:50:32,039
Trick Williams is in the back, and Trick is very

888
00:50:32,119 --> 00:50:37,840
concerned because he seemingly has misplaced his United States Championship

889
00:50:39,480 --> 00:50:45,519
Lil YACHTI comes in and he says, actually he got trick,

890
00:50:45,880 --> 00:50:52,199
a new title, a legacy version of the United States Championship,

891
00:50:52,239 --> 00:50:59,719
which now has a white fur strap. I want you

892
00:50:59,719 --> 00:51:01,480
to look look at this thing. I have lifted these

893
00:51:01,519 --> 00:51:06,840
photos directly from WWE shop dot com. Oh, they time

894
00:51:06,960 --> 00:51:10,119
this out. I would imagine this went live tonight at

895
00:51:10,119 --> 00:51:12,360
some point, unless it's been up for a while and

896
00:51:12,840 --> 00:51:16,760
we're only first seeing it on TV. But hot off

897
00:51:16,760 --> 00:51:21,320
the presses. This is what the United States Championship now

898
00:51:21,400 --> 00:51:23,960
looks like. Would you look at this thing? Look at

899
00:51:23,960 --> 00:51:29,039
this fucking belt. They have turned the United States Championship

900
00:51:29,079 --> 00:51:35,679
into gandolf. Also, they can sell them for seven hundred bucks,

901
00:51:36,840 --> 00:51:39,480
seven hundred dollars for this, and believe me, they will,

902
00:51:39,679 --> 00:51:43,239
Oh they will. They're guaranteed to sell out of these things.

903
00:51:43,239 --> 00:51:46,079
They just put up the Crown Jewel Championship as a

904
00:51:46,119 --> 00:51:50,920
replica for two thousand dollars. They're almost sold out of those.

905
00:51:51,239 --> 00:51:52,800
This is the front of the belt. Look at the back,

906
00:51:53,039 --> 00:52:01,719
Look at the strap. Look at this. My god, what

907
00:52:01,880 --> 00:52:05,039
an ugly fucking belt. They actually they made it worse

908
00:52:05,079 --> 00:52:08,639
the United States Championship. Is that a fairly nice looking belt,

909
00:52:08,920 --> 00:52:10,679
and they actually found a way to make it worse.

910
00:52:11,280 --> 00:52:14,920
I know you know the champions get custom belts. I

911
00:52:15,000 --> 00:52:17,360
wasn't really a fan of the Spinner all those years ago,

912
00:52:17,440 --> 00:52:19,199
but there have been some custom belts that I've liked.

913
00:52:19,199 --> 00:52:21,199
I mean, like the Smoking Skull is still like the

914
00:52:21,440 --> 00:52:24,119
iconic I mean, I guess he's in the million Dollar belt,

915
00:52:24,119 --> 00:52:27,679
but like the million Dollar belt, the Smoking Skull belt, right,

916
00:52:27,719 --> 00:52:29,960
there have been some really cool custom belts. This is

917
00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:33,239
not one of them. Yes, it looks like a fucking Ferbie.

918
00:52:35,280 --> 00:52:40,440
Don't get this thing. Oh my god. Now, I can't

919
00:52:40,480 --> 00:52:42,800
wait for him to lose this championship. But the fact

920
00:52:42,800 --> 00:52:44,519
that they're selling these, you know he ain't losing that

921
00:52:44,559 --> 00:52:46,840
title anytime soon. I can't wait, though, for him to

922
00:52:46,880 --> 00:52:48,239
lose his belt now so we don't have to look

923
00:52:48,239 --> 00:52:54,840
at this anymore. We had Trick Williams though, in a

924
00:52:54,880 --> 00:52:59,239
non title match after this against Carmelo Hayes. Now, early

925
00:52:59,320 --> 00:53:02,960
in this match, they showed Ricky saying, yeah, they're not

926
00:53:03,000 --> 00:53:06,159
shipping it until November. It's a good point offman, so

927
00:53:06,719 --> 00:53:09,559
I'm not expecting him to be dropping this title anytime soon.

928
00:53:09,599 --> 00:53:16,840
These belts don't even ship out until November. Falcon Star

929
00:53:16,960 --> 00:53:19,800
says the million Dollar Belt was the million dollar belt

930
00:53:19,840 --> 00:53:24,320
was awesome. The million dollar belt was very very cool.

931
00:53:24,360 --> 00:53:27,400
I actually know it was really cool about the million

932
00:53:27,440 --> 00:53:33,039
dollar belt is when DiBiase finally went into the jewelry

933
00:53:33,079 --> 00:53:36,400
shop to pick up the belt after weeks and weeks

934
00:53:36,400 --> 00:53:40,159
and weeks of vignettes, and he busts into the shop

935
00:53:40,199 --> 00:53:42,840
and he's wearing a cape for reasons that I still

936
00:53:42,840 --> 00:53:46,119
don't understand. He's wearing a fucking cape, and he just

937
00:53:46,199 --> 00:53:49,079
busts through the doors and he says, I'm here, and

938
00:53:49,119 --> 00:53:52,480
everyone's all spooked. He almost gave my heart attack. And

939
00:53:52,519 --> 00:53:55,599
then the guy's like, yes, mister Dibias, we finally were

940
00:53:55,639 --> 00:53:59,039
finally finished. We finally have a championship belt ready for you,

941
00:53:59,119 --> 00:54:02,239
worthy of you. And we never see what the belt

942
00:54:02,280 --> 00:54:05,400
looks like, but they have this great shot, very over

943
00:54:05,440 --> 00:54:10,079
the top. The guy is like opening the box or

944
00:54:10,079 --> 00:54:12,840
whatever that it's in, and we see a point of

945
00:54:12,920 --> 00:54:16,119
view shot from like looking up at DiBiase's face and

946
00:54:16,159 --> 00:54:18,920
he's just looking at it and he did that maniacal

947
00:54:19,119 --> 00:54:21,320
like cackle and laugh. It was like so over the

948
00:54:21,360 --> 00:54:24,079
top and cheesy, but it was so fucking great. And

949
00:54:24,119 --> 00:54:26,800
then they debuted the belt and it looked it looked tremendous.

950
00:54:28,599 --> 00:54:32,400
It looked tremendous. Not worth a million dollars. I think

951
00:54:32,400 --> 00:54:34,400
he said the belt was made for about forty thousand,

952
00:54:34,480 --> 00:54:37,679
but still that's a hey to me. A forty thousand

953
00:54:37,719 --> 00:54:43,039
dollars belt is still a very expensive belt. They showed

954
00:54:43,079 --> 00:54:46,559
Ricky Saints on a television in the back watching this

955
00:54:46,679 --> 00:54:50,079
match these two. I thought we were actually having a

956
00:54:50,079 --> 00:54:55,599
pretty solid match that was building nicely. I can't fault

957
00:54:55,599 --> 00:54:57,639
them for not wanting to give too much away here.

958
00:54:58,199 --> 00:55:01,360
I think they gave just enough away. But I can't

959
00:55:01,400 --> 00:55:03,159
fault them for not wanting to give too much away

960
00:55:03,199 --> 00:55:05,880
if the plan is to run this back at SummerSlam.

961
00:55:07,280 --> 00:55:13,159
But about that. About that, Hayes first forty eight got

962
00:55:13,199 --> 00:55:16,119
countered into a year in Agie. Hayes the counter that

963
00:55:16,599 --> 00:55:19,280
into a roll up for a two count. So Mellow

964
00:55:19,360 --> 00:55:21,400
was looking for another frog splash after he had hit

965
00:55:21,440 --> 00:55:23,880
a successful one earlier in the match. It was a

966
00:55:23,920 --> 00:55:25,760
great one too, He got some great height on it

967
00:55:26,920 --> 00:55:30,320
this time, though he crashed and burned and outside the ring.

968
00:55:30,840 --> 00:55:33,159
They ended up outside the ring, Hayes shoved trick into

969
00:55:33,239 --> 00:55:38,519
Lil YACHTI, and YACHTI took a bump, went down back inside,

970
00:55:38,559 --> 00:55:40,840
Mellow connected with the first forty eight and he headed

971
00:55:40,920 --> 00:55:44,079
up to the top when all of a sudden, we

972
00:55:44,159 --> 00:55:47,679
hear this commotion from the crowd and I'm like, is

973
00:55:47,760 --> 00:55:53,039
Ricky Saints coming out? Like What's what's happening here? And

974
00:55:53,119 --> 00:55:56,519
Baron Corbin is on the apron. I'm like, what the fuck?

975
00:55:57,039 --> 00:56:01,039
What's he doing here? We knew he was coming him back, right,

976
00:56:01,159 --> 00:56:04,159
He just I think had to vacate one of his championships,

977
00:56:04,280 --> 00:56:06,719
tag team title. I think in MLW it seemed pretty

978
00:56:06,719 --> 00:56:08,480
clear he was on his way back. But I just

979
00:56:09,280 --> 00:56:11,039
had it in my head that he was going to

980
00:56:11,079 --> 00:56:14,280
be involved in some comedy bullshit and certainly was not

981
00:56:14,280 --> 00:56:17,000
going to be involved in any of this. And all

982
00:56:17,039 --> 00:56:18,440
of a sudden, there he is in the middle of

983
00:56:18,480 --> 00:56:23,199
this match, and he is standing on the apron and

984
00:56:23,320 --> 00:56:25,360
Hayes looks down at him, and Hayes ends up, you know,

985
00:56:25,400 --> 00:56:30,239
getting knocked off the ropes, and the referee basically just

986
00:56:30,280 --> 00:56:35,199
throws the match out. So he gives Carmelo the End

987
00:56:35,199 --> 00:56:39,360
of Days. He gives Trick the End of Days. He

988
00:56:39,480 --> 00:56:43,400
goes outside, he grabs the Ferbie, the Ferbie belt, and

989
00:56:43,559 --> 00:56:46,199
he brings it into the ring, drops it over Trick's

990
00:56:46,199 --> 00:56:49,679
body and then he leaves some generic music that they

991
00:56:49,760 --> 00:56:55,519
played for him. The match was going fine, and then

992
00:56:55,599 --> 00:56:58,960
he showed up, and it was a legitimate surprise to me,

993
00:56:59,679 --> 00:57:01,360
not that he would come back, but that he would

994
00:57:01,360 --> 00:57:03,199
come back in this spot that I did not see

995
00:57:03,239 --> 00:57:08,000
coming because of the stuff with the gurney and dan

996
00:57:08,039 --> 00:57:11,559
Housen's laboratory. And again there were no reports about what

997
00:57:11,639 --> 00:57:13,840
he was going to be doing. It was just we

998
00:57:13,920 --> 00:57:16,320
see the Dan Housen stuff every single week. There's this

999
00:57:17,199 --> 00:57:20,599
long body, this big guy laying on a gurney. You

1000
00:57:20,679 --> 00:57:23,280
hear rumors that Baron Corbin is on his way back.

1001
00:57:23,599 --> 00:57:26,519
You put two and two together and you're like, oh, okay,

1002
00:57:26,719 --> 00:57:30,159
he must be under the sheet. And then he wasn't

1003
00:57:30,199 --> 00:57:33,440
under Maybe he was under the sheet. Maybe he just

1004
00:57:33,480 --> 00:57:36,280
finally woke up and he decided, Okay, I'm back. I

1005
00:57:36,280 --> 00:57:38,559
want to go after the US title. I shouldn't say

1006
00:57:38,559 --> 00:57:40,199
that we don't know for sure that he was under

1007
00:57:40,199 --> 00:57:41,960
the sheet, but it doesn't look like it's him under

1008
00:57:41,960 --> 00:57:47,320
the sheet. So I'm a much bigger fan of reintroducing

1009
00:57:47,400 --> 00:57:49,719
him in this way because at least here he's being

1010
00:57:49,760 --> 00:57:53,480
introduced into a serious program in the mid card, you know,

1011
00:57:53,559 --> 00:57:57,320
for their second biggest men's championship on the show, instead

1012
00:57:57,360 --> 00:57:59,639
of being reintroduced as part of some kind of comedy

1013
00:57:59,679 --> 00:58:03,079
goof So already, this is a much better spot for

1014
00:58:03,159 --> 00:58:04,360
him to be in than the one I thought they

1015
00:58:04,360 --> 00:58:07,159
were going to give him. What this means for Summer Slim,

1016
00:58:07,239 --> 00:58:08,840
We'll have to see. Now you look at this, he

1017
00:58:08,880 --> 00:58:12,639
attacked Trick and he attacked Mellow, So you start to

1018
00:58:12,679 --> 00:58:15,119
think triple threats because now they're both going to have

1019
00:58:15,159 --> 00:58:17,679
issues with him because he laid them both out. Is

1020
00:58:17,719 --> 00:58:19,400
that what we're looking at here? Right? But then they

1021
00:58:19,400 --> 00:58:23,000
showed Ricky Saints watching on in the back earlier. Even

1022
00:58:23,000 --> 00:58:25,920
though Ricky Saints got beat clean by Trick at Night

1023
00:58:25,960 --> 00:58:30,360
of Champions, they showed him for a reason. Does Ricky

1024
00:58:30,440 --> 00:58:32,119
end up being a part of this at Summer Slim.

1025
00:58:32,199 --> 00:58:33,760
I don't really see the need for it. He was

1026
00:58:33,800 --> 00:58:37,159
already beaten. You could do it like if you wanted

1027
00:58:37,199 --> 00:58:38,800
to do a four. I mean, we're getting ahead of

1028
00:58:38,800 --> 00:58:41,159
ourselves here, but I'm just saying, you have a bunch

1029
00:58:41,239 --> 00:58:43,800
of people now that are involved in this US title picture.

1030
00:58:44,320 --> 00:58:46,360
I'm sure that we're going to end up getting Trick

1031
00:58:46,360 --> 00:58:51,800
and Mellow in the ring together at Summer Slim. But

1032
00:58:51,960 --> 00:58:54,480
are they going to introduce Corbin into that and turn

1033
00:58:54,519 --> 00:58:57,000
it into a three way based on what we saw here,

1034
00:58:57,079 --> 00:59:02,159
I think that's a pretty safe assumption. As far as

1035
00:59:02,239 --> 00:59:06,559
Corbyn being back, you know, when he got released, he

1036
00:59:06,639 --> 00:59:10,000
went on an indie run. He found great success in

1037
00:59:10,159 --> 00:59:14,760
MLW actually as part of that team with with de Jack,

1038
00:59:15,920 --> 00:59:19,920
you know, like the New Skyscrapers. You know, he did

1039
00:59:19,960 --> 00:59:22,880
a shot for Hog, but he worked you know, different

1040
00:59:22,920 --> 00:59:26,320
different indies and it was doing very well for himself.

1041
00:59:26,320 --> 00:59:28,599
I know he had the gig on the Sirius XM,

1042
00:59:29,280 --> 00:59:32,119
so we had a few different things going on. I

1043
00:59:32,159 --> 00:59:34,280
hope for his sake that this time things will be

1044
00:59:35,119 --> 00:59:37,199
different than they were the last time when they called

1045
00:59:37,239 --> 00:59:39,119
him up from NXT to the main roster and it

1046
00:59:39,159 --> 00:59:41,280
seemed like that was the worst possible thing they could do.

1047
00:59:43,199 --> 00:59:46,519
Funny enough, I remember Donovan de Jack saying something similar

1048
00:59:46,559 --> 00:59:50,159
that when he was in NXT and he was chosen last.

1049
00:59:50,199 --> 00:59:53,320
I believe in the supplemental draft to go back to

1050
00:59:53,360 --> 00:59:57,079
Monday Night Raw, he knew it was over. He got

1051
00:59:57,079 --> 00:59:59,639
called back up and before he even made it to

1052
00:59:59,719 --> 01:00:03,599
Raw he knew it was over, and it was, and

1053
01:00:03,800 --> 01:00:07,159
so for Corbin's sake, you know, him coming back, hopefully

1054
01:00:07,199 --> 01:00:08,960
it'll be a little bit better for him. I'm not

1055
01:00:09,079 --> 01:00:11,920
expecting anything radically different for him, just like I wasn't

1056
01:00:11,960 --> 01:00:16,000
expecting anything radically different from Matt Cardona. Cardona is exactly

1057
01:00:16,039 --> 01:00:17,679
in the spot that I expected him to be in.

1058
01:00:18,679 --> 01:00:22,320
I suspect Corbyn will be in a very similar spot

1059
01:00:22,360 --> 01:00:24,920
to what I anticipate he'll be in. But like, could

1060
01:00:24,920 --> 01:00:27,000
he end up having a US title run and maybe

1061
01:00:27,000 --> 01:00:29,920
at some point. I still don't see them taking the

1062
01:00:29,960 --> 01:00:33,880
belt off trick anytime soon, But I mean, this is

1063
01:00:33,880 --> 01:00:35,480
a good spot for him to be back in, and

1064
01:00:35,559 --> 01:00:38,440
I think he's a perfectly solid, you know, pickup for

1065
01:00:38,480 --> 01:00:41,800
that mid card on SmackDown. Yeah. I've ragged on Corbin

1066
01:00:41,880 --> 01:00:43,800
before just because of some of the shitty gimmicks that

1067
01:00:43,800 --> 01:00:46,760
he had. I mean, god, it just got to a point,

1068
01:00:46,800 --> 01:00:50,920
like the constable stuff and the happy Corbin stuff. Dude,

1069
01:00:50,960 --> 01:00:53,840
it was fucking awful. I mean, he tried to make

1070
01:00:53,840 --> 01:00:55,519
the most of it. What are you gonna do, right,

1071
01:00:55,519 --> 01:00:57,039
You try to make it work. You try to turn

1072
01:00:57,159 --> 01:01:00,960
chicken shit into chicken salad as best you can. I

1073
01:01:01,000 --> 01:01:02,960
still say that I was the biggest fan of his

1074
01:01:03,079 --> 01:01:05,719
when he was you know, bum as Corbin in the street,

1075
01:01:05,840 --> 01:01:08,519
down on his luck, you know, with spaghetti sauce on

1076
01:01:08,519 --> 01:01:11,519
his fucking shirt, and that there was more meat on

1077
01:01:11,599 --> 01:01:13,199
the bone there. There was more they could have done

1078
01:01:13,239 --> 01:01:15,360
with that to turn him into an even bigger babyface.

1079
01:01:15,400 --> 01:01:20,679
But now he's back and we'll see, we'll see where

1080
01:01:20,760 --> 01:01:22,760
they go with him for SummerSlam. But based on what

1081
01:01:22,800 --> 01:01:26,039
they did here, I think it seems pretty clear where

1082
01:01:26,039 --> 01:01:30,400
he's going to end up. So then to close the show,

1083
01:01:32,239 --> 01:01:34,880
close the show, we had Gunther make his way out

1084
01:01:34,920 --> 01:01:40,280
to the ring and he called out Nick Aldis, who

1085
01:01:40,400 --> 01:01:42,159
raced out to the ring and said that he had

1086
01:01:42,199 --> 01:01:45,039
time to think about it and he was going to

1087
01:01:45,079 --> 01:01:49,360
give gun Through exactly what he wants by having CM

1088
01:01:49,440 --> 01:01:54,320
Punk and Cody Rhodes at Madison Square Garden next weekend,

1089
01:01:55,440 --> 01:01:58,039
and he announced it will be CM Punk and Cody

1090
01:01:58,119 --> 01:02:03,360
Rhads together as tag team partners taking on Gunther and

1091
01:02:03,440 --> 01:02:09,360
the last real good guy Sammy's a. Gunh told all this,

1092
01:02:09,440 --> 01:02:12,880
I warned you to fix this mistake. All this said.

1093
01:02:12,880 --> 01:02:15,119
The only mistake that needed to be fixed was me

1094
01:02:15,320 --> 01:02:17,400
thinking that you would not be a giant pain in

1095
01:02:17,440 --> 01:02:20,760
my ass after I signed you to this brand. All

1096
01:02:20,840 --> 01:02:22,840
this then announced the crowd that the Summer Slam main

1097
01:02:22,880 --> 01:02:26,159
event would remain CM Punk against Cody Rhoades for the

1098
01:02:26,239 --> 01:02:29,559
WWE Championship, which again should put to bed any notion

1099
01:02:29,800 --> 01:02:34,239
of Gunther or Sammy Zain or anybody else being added

1100
01:02:34,239 --> 01:02:37,079
to that match. So Gunther had enough of this shit,

1101
01:02:38,039 --> 01:02:41,800
and as all this was making this announcement, Gunther ambushed

1102
01:02:41,880 --> 01:02:44,440
him from behind. Then he picked him back up, and

1103
01:02:44,480 --> 01:02:46,880
he dropped him with a clothesline. Then he put him

1104
01:02:46,880 --> 01:02:52,360
in a sleeperhole. So here come referees and producers and

1105
01:02:52,480 --> 01:02:56,320
they're trying to, you know, pull this guy off, and

1106
01:02:56,360 --> 01:02:59,400
finally they get Gunher to release the hold. But then

1107
01:02:59,440 --> 01:03:01,360
Gunher laid all this out with a big boot. When

1108
01:03:01,400 --> 01:03:03,320
he gets back up to his feet and he reapplies

1109
01:03:03,400 --> 01:03:06,639
the sleeper and he refuses to let go. All of

1110
01:03:06,679 --> 01:03:08,920
these men are trying to pull him off and they

1111
01:03:08,960 --> 01:03:12,079
are unable to do so they're powerless to do anything

1112
01:03:12,119 --> 01:03:16,960
about this until finally we hear Cody Roads music and

1113
01:03:17,159 --> 01:03:19,400
Cody comes out. He did not seem in any great

1114
01:03:19,480 --> 01:03:21,360
rush to get to the ring and help Nick. All

1115
01:03:21,360 --> 01:03:23,079
this I'd be very upset if I was Nick all this.

1116
01:03:23,440 --> 01:03:26,000
Cody didn't sprint down to the ring. He came out

1117
01:03:26,079 --> 01:03:28,840
very casually. He took the time to take his track

1118
01:03:28,920 --> 01:03:32,000
jacket off, and as he's in the middle of making

1119
01:03:32,000 --> 01:03:34,119
his way, he did not even hit the ring. He

1120
01:03:34,239 --> 01:03:36,960
was on his way to the ring, but before he

1121
01:03:36,960 --> 01:03:40,440
could even hit the ring, and Joe Tessitur was in

1122
01:03:40,480 --> 01:03:42,599
the middle of speaking, he was in the middle of

1123
01:03:42,599 --> 01:03:45,599
a sentence, the show just cut off that They had

1124
01:03:45,679 --> 01:03:48,639
put the copyright box and the producer credits on like

1125
01:03:48,679 --> 01:03:52,119
a lot earlier, I think when Gunther had all this

1126
01:03:52,159 --> 01:03:55,400
in the sleeper hold, so that was already shown earlier,

1127
01:03:55,400 --> 01:03:59,480
but they just very abruptly just cut the show off again,

1128
01:03:59,559 --> 01:04:03,840
like oh we forgot, We're not three hours anymore now.

1129
01:04:03,880 --> 01:04:06,719
On social media, they have since posted the clip of

1130
01:04:06,719 --> 01:04:08,679
what happened when the show went off the air, which

1131
01:04:08,719 --> 01:04:13,800
is absolutely nothing. Gunther left the ring, Cody got the mic,

1132
01:04:14,159 --> 01:04:17,760
he wanted to wrestle Gunther right here, right now, send

1133
01:04:17,800 --> 01:04:21,800
out a referee, and instead Gunther just walked to the

1134
01:04:21,800 --> 01:04:24,679
back and everybody booed and that was the end of that.

1135
01:04:25,440 --> 01:04:27,639
So we didn't really miss much of anything. But it

1136
01:04:27,719 --> 01:04:30,599
was very very odd. It didn't strike me as something

1137
01:04:30,639 --> 01:04:33,599
they did on purpose. This is actually something we would

1138
01:04:33,639 --> 01:04:36,320
occasionally see back in the day on like Raw or Nitro,

1139
01:04:36,480 --> 01:04:41,760
especially Nitro. This was like very abrupt though. This was like,

1140
01:04:42,039 --> 01:04:44,440
there's no way they were anticipating going off the air

1141
01:04:44,480 --> 01:04:46,920
when they did with Joe tessitour in the middle of

1142
01:04:46,920 --> 01:04:51,000
a sentence, So that was just very very strange. They

1143
01:04:51,039 --> 01:04:53,239
seem to have missed time the end of the show.

1144
01:04:54,679 --> 01:04:58,320
But for the official Summer Slim match that we got tonight,

1145
01:04:58,400 --> 01:05:01,519
there's this other Summer Slim match that is not yet official,

1146
01:05:01,599 --> 01:05:04,480
but basically we know it's going to be based on

1147
01:05:04,559 --> 01:05:06,559
what we just saw because now there can be no

1148
01:05:06,639 --> 01:05:09,239
doubt even though he's already been reinstated, he's back in

1149
01:05:09,280 --> 01:05:12,199
the GM role. Nick All, this is going to wrestle

1150
01:05:12,239 --> 01:05:15,960
his first match in WWE unless he picks a surrogate

1151
01:05:16,039 --> 01:05:19,800
to take his place, but I don't see any reason

1152
01:05:20,199 --> 01:05:23,360
to do that. The issue was between him and Gunther,

1153
01:05:24,039 --> 01:05:25,840
and they've built it up now to where people are

1154
01:05:25,840 --> 01:05:28,239
going to want to see that match. You know, they

1155
01:05:28,239 --> 01:05:30,639
gave us a pl match last year between Gunther and

1156
01:05:30,639 --> 01:05:34,320
Pat McAfee if they could do gun Through against Pat McAfee.

1157
01:05:34,320 --> 01:05:36,159
They could do fucking gun Through against Nick All this,

1158
01:05:37,360 --> 01:05:39,960
and he'll finally get to wrestle a match. And of

1159
01:05:40,000 --> 01:05:41,920
all the people for him to get in the ring with, like,

1160
01:05:42,239 --> 01:05:45,159
there are fewer names I could think of that would

1161
01:05:45,159 --> 01:05:47,599
be a great opponent for him than Gunther. You know,

1162
01:05:47,679 --> 01:05:49,280
there was a period of time where I thought we

1163
01:05:49,280 --> 01:05:53,519
were going to get him against Drew McIntyre, and I'd

1164
01:05:53,559 --> 01:05:56,000
probably would like to see that match even more. I

1165
01:05:56,039 --> 01:05:59,079
think the promos would be great too, But gun Thro

1166
01:05:59,199 --> 01:06:00,920
is not a bad opponent for him to have if

1167
01:06:00,920 --> 01:06:02,519
this is going to be his one and only match.

1168
01:06:03,519 --> 01:06:05,840
So we're just waiting on the official announcement after what

1169
01:06:05,880 --> 01:06:08,280
we saw tonight because we know it's coming. Because think

1170
01:06:08,280 --> 01:06:10,559
about it, like what else will Guntherer even be doing

1171
01:06:10,599 --> 01:06:12,840
on that show? And for the people who say, well,

1172
01:06:12,880 --> 01:06:15,440
you know he could be he could be included into

1173
01:06:15,480 --> 01:06:20,719
the WWE Championship match. A no B. Why would they

1174
01:06:20,719 --> 01:06:22,880
give him a title match? Why would they reward him

1175
01:06:22,920 --> 01:06:25,880
with a championship match? Why would Nick All this reward

1176
01:06:25,960 --> 01:06:29,719
him with a championship match after he was physically assaulted

1177
01:06:29,719 --> 01:06:32,119
by this man? It makes no sense. So that went

1178
01:06:32,119 --> 01:06:34,400
out the window tonight. The only match that makes sense

1179
01:06:34,519 --> 01:06:37,440
is the obvious one. And so the SummerSlam card now

1180
01:06:37,519 --> 01:06:42,800
is starting to take shape. Roman and Seth Cody and

1181
01:06:42,960 --> 01:06:47,800
Punk Charlotte and Jade Gunther and all this trick and

1182
01:06:47,880 --> 01:06:53,639
mellow maybe with Corbin thrown in Live Morgan in EO Sky.

1183
01:06:53,840 --> 01:06:56,960
How many is that? Because I think they were saying

1184
01:06:56,960 --> 01:07:00,800
something about thirteen or fourteen matches this year between Oh

1185
01:07:00,800 --> 01:07:04,079
Well Penta. We'll find out on Monday, hopefully Chad Gable

1186
01:07:05,280 --> 01:07:10,360
challenging Penta for the Intercontinental title. What else do you

1187
01:07:10,360 --> 01:07:12,559
think we're looking You think we're looking at maybe Tiffany

1188
01:07:12,599 --> 01:07:19,480
Stratton defending the US title, Maybe maybe Blake Monroe. What

1189
01:07:19,559 --> 01:07:22,239
else do you think we're looking at? Any tag team

1190
01:07:22,280 --> 01:07:25,360
matches out oh the six man Tag, the blood Line

1191
01:07:25,360 --> 01:07:30,159
against La Night, Solo Socoa and Royce Keys. I still

1192
01:07:30,159 --> 01:07:38,239
feel like I'm missing something though, Am I missing? I

1193
01:07:38,239 --> 01:07:40,719
don't know, but that seems to be the Summer Slam

1194
01:07:40,800 --> 01:07:43,599
card right now that they have sketched out for this show.

1195
01:07:44,599 --> 01:07:46,840
If Petter be Chad Gable against Pentus, as I am

1196
01:07:46,920 --> 01:07:51,079
Kendall I said it on Monday after Raw, they have

1197
01:07:51,119 --> 01:07:54,800
one job. They have one job. This is only it's

1198
01:07:54,840 --> 01:07:56,800
the easiest thing in the world. In that Gauntlet match

1199
01:07:56,800 --> 01:08:00,880
on Monday, send Chad Gable to Minneapolis. Simple, Oh, I'm

1200
01:08:00,880 --> 01:08:04,800
Brock and Oba. I forgot the Oh yeah, I just

1201
01:08:04,920 --> 01:08:06,840
the one match I forgot is the Helen is Cell

1202
01:08:06,920 --> 01:08:09,639
match on the show. Sure, how could I forget that?

1203
01:08:12,039 --> 01:08:15,960
Gunther and Brock inside Helen is Cell. Yeah. We still

1204
01:08:16,000 --> 01:08:18,760
have no update on Rhea Ripley. It's so weird they

1205
01:08:18,760 --> 01:08:20,840
don't say anything about her on the show. Now for

1206
01:08:20,880 --> 01:08:24,920
the last few weeks. She's the fucking WWE Women's Champion

1207
01:08:25,880 --> 01:08:27,439
and we don't even have a clue she's going to

1208
01:08:27,479 --> 01:08:31,840
be defending the title at summerslim. We have no idea

1209
01:08:32,720 --> 01:08:34,479
could be j C. Jane. I was gonna mention there

1210
01:08:34,479 --> 01:08:37,640
was a fatal influence pre tape video promo on the show,

1211
01:08:37,680 --> 01:08:39,520
but I mean, you know whatever, they didn't say much

1212
01:08:39,520 --> 01:08:47,000
of anything, so I glossed over it. Sue me. Super

1213
01:08:47,000 --> 01:08:50,239
Pony says Ko against Sammy. I just have a feeling

1214
01:08:52,000 --> 01:08:57,159
i'd love that. I don't think so. I think you're wrong,

1215
01:08:57,720 --> 01:09:04,600
but I certainly wouldn't mind that. I feel like the

1216
01:09:04,600 --> 01:09:06,800
only hope at this point for Sammy's aying to have

1217
01:09:06,840 --> 01:09:08,439
a match on that show is going to be Johnny

1218
01:09:08,439 --> 01:09:13,000
Gargano rising from the crate and I'm sorry, but that's

1219
01:09:13,000 --> 01:09:18,520
not a Summer Slim match. Joseph says, do you think

1220
01:09:18,600 --> 01:09:23,600
Missy Hyatt is underrated in the wrestling community? I mean,

1221
01:09:24,039 --> 01:09:26,159
there's probably a lot of people that aren't familiar with

1222
01:09:26,199 --> 01:09:29,359
her work, and I think she was. Yeah, she was

1223
01:09:29,359 --> 01:09:31,760
a good She wasn't just a manager. She did other things,

1224
01:09:31,800 --> 01:09:33,800
but she was a good manager there for a while.

1225
01:09:33,800 --> 01:09:35,640
I don't know if I would say she's underrated, though.

1226
01:09:38,439 --> 01:09:43,199
D you see Keana James in ae W in the future?

1227
01:09:44,159 --> 01:09:46,920
I mean the future is there's a lot yet to

1228
01:09:46,960 --> 01:09:50,000
come in the future. It's impossible to say you're already

1229
01:09:50,039 --> 01:09:54,479
putting her in aw No, I think she's going to

1230
01:09:54,560 --> 01:09:59,479
be in WWE for some time to come. Happy birthday

1231
01:09:59,520 --> 01:10:04,039
to Nick Wayne. So how old is he now? Twenty

1232
01:10:05,520 --> 01:10:09,439
twenty one? How old is Nick wayn? I see, I

1233
01:10:09,520 --> 01:10:13,159
just guessed twenty one. Wouldn't that be something if I

1234
01:10:13,199 --> 01:10:17,720
was right? Let's see Nick Wayne is? How old is

1235
01:10:17,800 --> 01:10:23,479
Nick Wayne? Nick Wayne is twenty twenty? I was off

1236
01:10:23,520 --> 01:10:28,359
by one boy? Did they abandon that whole feud with

1237
01:10:28,439 --> 01:10:37,119
Christian didn't they so much for that? And Justph says,

1238
01:10:37,159 --> 01:10:39,000
do you know why Nick Wayne and his mom haven't

1239
01:10:39,000 --> 01:10:41,079
been on AW television in a while? I don't know,

1240
01:10:41,159 --> 01:10:44,279
but I've missed Mother Wayne on TV. I think they've

1241
01:10:44,319 --> 01:10:52,680
been stuck in Ring of honor. Mind the gaps is

1242
01:10:52,760 --> 01:11:00,079
I have shirts older than Nick Wayne. Yeah, it's even crazy.

1243
01:11:00,399 --> 01:11:02,680
I've almost been doing the SoundOff for as long as

1244
01:11:02,720 --> 01:11:06,800
Nick Wayne has been alive. November will be nineteen years

1245
01:11:06,800 --> 01:11:09,920
of doing the SoundOff. Nick Wayne is only one year

1246
01:11:09,960 --> 01:11:17,840
older than the SoundOff. So you believe that? Now? That's crazy?

1247
01:11:19,720 --> 01:11:24,399
That is crazy. Joseph said, did Raven and Brian Pillman

1248
01:11:24,520 --> 01:11:35,359
Junior ever have a match? Brian Pillman Junior? No, I

1249
01:11:35,359 --> 01:11:37,960
did not know that. Thank you, Joseph Buyer, Sell, Bruce

1250
01:11:37,960 --> 01:11:42,640
Wayne or Peter Parker. Bruce Wayne, of course says, I

1251
01:11:42,640 --> 01:11:45,039
am looking forward to your Dark Side of the Ring

1252
01:11:45,159 --> 01:11:51,880
review on TNA. I hope so, I hope. So it's

1253
01:11:51,920 --> 01:11:55,119
gonna be big one. It's a double episode I'm reviewing.

1254
01:11:55,520 --> 01:12:00,880
I got a lot to say about TNA and Jay

1255
01:12:01,239 --> 01:12:07,119
that'll be on Sunday. One of the many reasons to

1256
01:12:07,199 --> 01:12:13,159
look forward to the SoundOff every week that TNA didn't

1257
01:12:13,159 --> 01:12:15,680
make the mistakes they did and was very successful. Would

1258
01:12:15,680 --> 01:12:19,119
AW still exist? Well, that's one of those one if questions.

1259
01:12:19,159 --> 01:12:24,840
Isn't it very possible that AW doesn't exist? If the

1260
01:12:24,880 --> 01:12:28,399
stars align and TNA ends up doing a lot better

1261
01:12:28,439 --> 01:12:32,199
than they ended up doing, very possible AW doesn't exist.

1262
01:12:34,520 --> 01:12:37,359
Oh boy, we're really creeping up on that bonus bonus goal,

1263
01:12:37,399 --> 01:12:40,640
aren't We were three out of five. Misfit says, I

1264
01:12:40,680 --> 01:12:42,880
know people like to make dark side of the Ring

1265
01:12:42,920 --> 01:12:46,479
episode predictions. I want an episode on the Stardom incident

1266
01:12:46,560 --> 01:12:55,079
where then World of Stardom champion Yoshihiko off script on

1267
01:12:55,319 --> 01:12:59,159
act Yasukawa beating her to a pupil. Oh no, I

1268
01:12:59,159 --> 01:13:06,560
said Yoshihi go. I read that as Yoshihika. No, yosh Yoshiko,

1269
01:13:06,680 --> 01:13:11,359
not Yo. That's very I shouldn't laugh. That was a

1270
01:13:11,439 --> 01:13:15,199
very serious That was a very serious incident. That was

1271
01:13:15,239 --> 01:13:19,039
a very serious incident beating her. She beat her pretty bad,

1272
01:13:19,079 --> 01:13:22,319
actually fractured her her face. She did. God, I forgot

1273
01:13:22,359 --> 01:13:26,960
about that. I know why, I said Yoshihiko. I didn't

1274
01:13:26,960 --> 01:13:33,159
know Yoshihiko had done that to somebody, But I see,

1275
01:13:33,199 --> 01:13:34,840
I don't know that getting a whole episode out of

1276
01:13:34,840 --> 01:13:38,680
that one incident, though that seems like a stretch. I

1277
01:13:39,840 --> 01:13:43,119
feel like that that's the sort of episode they might

1278
01:13:43,199 --> 01:13:45,520
do at the very tail end, when they really are

1279
01:13:45,560 --> 01:13:55,520
just running on fumes and have no other ideas. Joseph says,

1280
01:13:55,520 --> 01:14:01,960
what will Deborah McMichael's legacy be and what will she

1281
01:14:02,039 --> 01:14:04,960
be remembered for? I think she'll mostly be remembered for,

1282
01:14:06,399 --> 01:14:11,680
I mean within wrestling. Me personally, I would remember her

1283
01:14:11,720 --> 01:14:14,720
more for being with Jeff Jarrett and WCW. But I'm

1284
01:14:14,760 --> 01:14:16,479
sure a lot of people would say her time with

1285
01:14:16,520 --> 01:14:20,159
Steve Austin and baking cookies and you know, all the

1286
01:14:20,199 --> 01:14:23,039
things that she did when she was part of the

1287
01:14:23,079 --> 01:14:29,760
Alliance period on TV. But for me, I just remember

1288
01:14:29,800 --> 01:14:31,960
her coming out dressed up as like, you know, the

1289
01:14:33,199 --> 01:14:36,960
what state was she from? I was gonna say miss whatever,

1290
01:14:37,000 --> 01:14:38,760
but I forgot what she look at the prom queen,

1291
01:14:38,800 --> 01:14:41,159
you know, coming out and everything with Jeff. She had

1292
01:14:41,159 --> 01:14:44,960
the gloves on and everything, the white gloves actually with

1293
01:14:45,039 --> 01:14:49,079
Mango and then Jeff. It was Mango and then Jeff.

1294
01:14:52,399 --> 01:14:54,479
Beyond that, she doesn't really have much of a legacy

1295
01:14:54,479 --> 01:14:58,039
in wrestling. It's not a knock on her personally, she

1296
01:14:58,079 --> 01:15:00,600
just didn't She didn't do anything else. She won the

1297
01:15:00,600 --> 01:15:05,960
women's title in WWFF, nobody remembers. It wasn't like she

1298
01:15:06,000 --> 01:15:09,279
was an actual wrestler. She had no business being in

1299
01:15:09,279 --> 01:15:15,880
the ring. Thank you, Joseph. I hope you have a

1300
01:15:15,920 --> 01:15:21,760
great weekend, brother, wherever you may be. Was she from Alabama?

1301
01:15:21,840 --> 01:15:23,239
I don't know. I don't know what state she was

1302
01:15:23,239 --> 01:15:27,560
from or where they were living at the time. Death

1303
01:15:27,680 --> 01:15:34,680
Scythe says, looking back at WrestleMania twenty five, it should

1304
01:15:34,680 --> 01:15:38,399
have been Edge Sina Jeff for the World Heavyweight Championship

1305
01:15:38,439 --> 01:15:40,960
because Edge won the WWE title back from Jeff for

1306
01:15:41,000 --> 01:15:45,239
the Royal Rumble, Jeff pinned Edge in the WWE title

1307
01:15:45,239 --> 01:15:49,399
elimination Chamber and Edgepenn Sena in the World Heavyweight Championship

1308
01:15:49,399 --> 01:15:51,640
Elimination Chamber. Actually, I'll do you one better. It should

1309
01:15:51,640 --> 01:15:54,479
have been John Cena against hul Cogan like they originally planned,

1310
01:15:55,399 --> 01:15:56,960
because that would have been the big match to do.

1311
01:15:57,600 --> 01:15:59,960
And you headlined Mania with Hogan seen in the back

1312
01:16:00,199 --> 01:16:02,840
of the two Generations and then Undertaker seaw Michaels, and

1313
01:16:02,840 --> 01:16:05,960
then you have your title matches and a what a

1314
01:16:06,000 --> 01:16:09,800
card that would have been but just from like a

1315
01:16:09,800 --> 01:16:13,960
promotional perspective, on the silver anniversary of WrestleMania, it would

1316
01:16:13,960 --> 01:16:15,520
have been big to have Hogan in there in a

1317
01:16:15,520 --> 01:16:17,960
match with Sina, and that would have been a good

1318
01:16:17,960 --> 01:16:22,199
match for him to go out on, but he had

1319
01:16:22,239 --> 01:16:31,199
back surgery and it didn't work out that way. He

1320
01:16:31,239 --> 01:16:34,920
also says Big Show being in the World Heavyweight Championship

1321
01:16:34,920 --> 01:16:38,159
triple Threat was so forced and Matt and Jeff was underwhelming.

1322
01:16:38,239 --> 01:16:41,600
Instead of instead have Matt cost Jeff the match and

1323
01:16:41,640 --> 01:16:44,439
have Matt and Jeff feud after WrestleMania and seen a

1324
01:16:44,439 --> 01:16:47,560
Big Show still feud after Backlash, I would never have

1325
01:16:47,600 --> 01:16:51,760
had Jeff in Matt feud. I wouldn't have done that

1326
01:16:51,800 --> 01:16:55,600
to begin with. That was that was not the way

1327
01:16:55,640 --> 01:17:00,479
to go. Death side with A twenty says Hbka Taker

1328
01:17:00,520 --> 01:17:02,279
would have still been the match of the night, but

1329
01:17:02,439 --> 01:17:04,520
Edge Sina Jeff would have had a better chance of

1330
01:17:04,600 --> 01:17:10,159
following it as the WrestleMania twenty five main events than

1331
01:17:10,239 --> 01:17:12,640
Triple h and Orton and we would have been spared

1332
01:17:12,680 --> 01:17:17,039
that stupid Edge Vicky Big Show Love Triangle. Well, I

1333
01:17:17,079 --> 01:17:20,159
definitely agree with that. I think it would have had

1334
01:17:20,159 --> 01:17:24,560
a better chance of not dying after Undertaker Sean than

1335
01:17:24,760 --> 01:17:33,399
Triple H and Orton did plus during the match, he says,

1336
01:17:33,399 --> 01:17:35,680
when Edge is briefly boy, he's really thought this out here.

1337
01:17:35,720 --> 01:17:38,880
When Edge is briefly taken out of the equation, I

1338
01:17:38,880 --> 01:17:43,000
think the moment in crowd reaction when Sena Jeff would

1339
01:17:43,079 --> 01:17:46,840
have got when they do their stare down and exchange yeah,

1340
01:17:46,880 --> 01:17:50,439
I mean again better than Triple Ah Orton the fuck yeah,

1341
01:17:50,680 --> 01:17:54,039
of course that would have been. That would have been

1342
01:17:54,560 --> 01:18:03,399
ten times better. Nick got like, look like tornado moving

1343
01:18:03,439 --> 01:18:06,640
in with all these super chats, look at this kind

1344
01:18:06,640 --> 01:18:09,640
of see Evil Dead burn tonight with my best friend.

1345
01:18:09,680 --> 01:18:12,439
I'll let you know how it is. Please do Somebody

1346
01:18:12,439 --> 01:18:15,279
else asked me about the Evil Dead movie, I'd have

1347
01:18:15,319 --> 01:18:17,159
to see the other ones before I see the new one.

1348
01:18:17,199 --> 01:18:21,239
I just never I just never saw any of them solo.

1349
01:18:21,319 --> 01:18:23,199
Do you think Sammy should be the one to win

1350
01:18:23,279 --> 01:18:26,880
money in the bank. He's definitely a favorite I think

1351
01:18:26,960 --> 01:18:31,600
right now for money in the bank, he's a favorite

1352
01:18:31,600 --> 01:18:37,560
of mine to win it. He says, I don't know

1353
01:18:37,600 --> 01:18:40,960
if you saw Seamus's tweets, assuming he's a free he

1354
01:18:41,000 --> 01:18:45,560
is a free agent. He is, indeed, and I will

1355
01:18:45,600 --> 01:18:50,119
leave it at that Solo. Who wins the aw Women's

1356
01:18:50,159 --> 01:18:55,720
World Championship at all in Tecla, Willow or Mercedes. Right now,

1357
01:18:55,760 --> 01:19:01,399
I'm leaning towards Willow defending against Mercedes and possibly winning

1358
01:19:01,880 --> 01:19:05,399
and retaining the title. Talk to me in a month,

1359
01:19:06,439 --> 01:19:09,680
I may feel different. I do think will I was

1360
01:19:09,680 --> 01:19:12,960
getting the belt though, and he says, looking forward to

1361
01:19:13,000 --> 01:19:15,800
your Dark side of the Ring reviews. I like hearing

1362
01:19:15,840 --> 01:19:18,319
that there is a lot of interest in these reviews.

1363
01:19:19,800 --> 01:19:22,600
You never know when, like the latest season might be

1364
01:19:22,680 --> 01:19:26,119
the last, and I put a lot of time and

1365
01:19:26,119 --> 01:19:29,600
effort into them, so hopefully you guys enjoy him. Hey,

1366
01:19:29,680 --> 01:19:34,920
Oscar says Punk WWE Champion, Omega ae W Champion. It's

1367
01:19:34,920 --> 01:19:43,159
the summer of Unks. It is actually the summer of Unks.

1368
01:19:43,960 --> 01:19:48,079
Roman's not too far behind them, by the way, Roman,

1369
01:19:48,119 --> 01:19:58,479
I would say, Roman is up there in Unk territory.

1370
01:19:59,119 --> 01:20:03,279
They got Nemath. There's the TNA champion. How old is Nicknameath?

1371
01:20:05,279 --> 01:20:10,399
He's been around for a minute. Nico says, Hey, Solo,

1372
01:20:10,439 --> 01:20:15,279
I'm gonna see Toy Story five tomorrow afternoon. I'll give

1373
01:20:15,319 --> 01:20:18,239
my review on the next live stream, please do. It

1374
01:20:18,319 --> 01:20:20,079
was one of my favorite movies of the Year. Not

1375
01:20:20,119 --> 01:20:21,680
my favorite movie of the year, but one of my

1376
01:20:21,680 --> 01:20:24,119
favorite movies of the year. He says. Did you know

1377
01:20:24,159 --> 01:20:30,039
that Billy Crystal was Pixar's first choice to voice Buzz Lightyear?

1378
01:20:30,640 --> 01:20:33,399
He declined, but later on regretted it to how bet

1379
01:20:33,439 --> 01:20:42,279
he did and then he got the voice in Monsters Inc. Yeah,

1380
01:20:42,279 --> 01:20:43,880
that's one of those things where you look back on

1381
01:20:43,920 --> 01:20:47,920
it and go, man, I shouldn't have said no to that.

1382
01:20:51,920 --> 01:20:54,960
Have I seen any other Pixar outside of the Toy

1383
01:20:55,000 --> 01:21:01,079
Story movies? Was that movie up? Was that a Pixar movie?

1384
01:21:01,079 --> 01:21:05,760
I'm pretty sure I saw that one. No, not too

1385
01:21:05,840 --> 01:21:09,720
many other Pixar movies. Though I saw Wally. Was Wally

1386
01:21:09,760 --> 01:21:11,760
a Pixar movie? I think it was. I saw Wally

1387
01:21:11,840 --> 01:21:16,119
when it came out. Browley says, I know WWE is

1388
01:21:16,159 --> 01:21:19,159
not great right now, but watching them after only watching

1389
01:21:19,279 --> 01:21:23,880
World Cup for a month feels way more depressing than usual. Lol,

1390
01:21:23,960 --> 01:21:26,840
I can't sit through it. You mean to tell me

1391
01:21:26,880 --> 01:21:29,239
that SmackDown is not as exciting to you as the

1392
01:21:29,239 --> 01:21:37,880
World Cup? Is that what you're telling me? Chicago for MBK, Hey,

1393
01:21:38,800 --> 01:21:43,479
that punkin Cody promo was not good. I mean it was.

1394
01:21:43,880 --> 01:21:47,840
It was not their best work for sure. There was nothing.

1395
01:21:48,000 --> 01:21:52,000
There was no meat to it, because I would hope

1396
01:21:52,079 --> 01:21:54,319
they're setting up for that in the next few weeks

1397
01:21:55,199 --> 01:21:58,800
they have to, But like, this was not seth Rollins

1398
01:21:58,800 --> 01:22:01,439
coming out a couple of weeks ago and confronting Roman

1399
01:22:01,479 --> 01:22:06,079
and getting into all their history, and they really just

1400
01:22:06,239 --> 01:22:11,039
made this as basic as possible, Like, hey, you know

1401
01:22:11,119 --> 01:22:13,359
when I told you a few months ago that if

1402
01:22:13,359 --> 01:22:15,359
you wanted a title shot, just say the word when,

1403
01:22:15,880 --> 01:22:19,000
and Punk was like when, and then they shake hands

1404
01:22:19,000 --> 01:22:26,399
and that's it. Not a whole lot to it. Prince

1405
01:22:26,479 --> 01:22:30,279
Begeta says Molina against Alicia Fox is the greatest match

1406
01:22:30,279 --> 01:22:35,560
of all time, Happy Friday. There is probably some you

1407
01:22:35,600 --> 01:22:38,560
know girl out there right now who would agree with you,

1408
01:22:40,680 --> 01:22:42,920
because it's probably the only wrestling match they've ever seen,

1409
01:22:42,960 --> 01:22:46,399
and so therefore it's the greatest of all time. Super

1410
01:22:46,439 --> 01:22:48,840
Pony with the nine ninety nine, they really fucked over

1411
01:22:48,920 --> 01:22:51,760
Sammy big time. At least Christian was on TV the

1412
01:22:51,800 --> 01:22:54,680
next week after he lost the title and got a

1413
01:22:54,760 --> 01:23:00,319
four month long program with Randy Orton. Feel awful for Sammy, Well,

1414
01:23:00,359 --> 01:23:03,840
he's taking a mental health break, super Punk and at

1415
01:23:03,920 --> 01:23:06,319
least he'll be in the main event of Madison Square Garden.

1416
01:23:06,880 --> 01:23:11,760
Where he goes after that match is the question that

1417
01:23:12,079 --> 01:23:16,439
I don't know the answer to. I don't know the

1418
01:23:16,479 --> 01:23:19,680
answer to that. It just seems to me like with

1419
01:23:19,840 --> 01:23:23,560
him out of that scene, I can't I mean, outside

1420
01:23:23,560 --> 01:23:25,560
of the Johnny Gargano stuff, what else has he even

1421
01:23:25,600 --> 01:23:30,479
been connected to? I mean, nothing else. That's why somebody

1422
01:23:30,520 --> 01:23:34,439
wrote him before and said that him and Ko that's

1423
01:23:34,479 --> 01:23:37,640
as good a guess as any. Not sure what else

1424
01:23:37,680 --> 01:23:40,960
he'd be doing. Someone's saying the chat that The Furious

1425
01:23:41,039 --> 01:23:45,560
is out on digital. Yeah, I wanted to see that

1426
01:23:45,640 --> 01:23:49,960
in the I wanted to see that in the theaters

1427
01:23:50,039 --> 01:23:52,560
and it was just out of the theaters when I

1428
01:23:52,560 --> 01:23:55,760
wanted to go see it. I'm going to add that

1429
01:23:55,800 --> 01:23:59,520
to my watch list. I wish I could see that

1430
01:23:59,560 --> 01:24:03,439
on the big screen, but I'll definitely have to check

1431
01:24:03,439 --> 01:24:09,560
that out if it's out on digital. Super Pony says,

1432
01:24:09,600 --> 01:24:12,960
welcome back Baron Korb, Welcome back Corbin Corbin. I think

1433
01:24:12,960 --> 01:24:15,800
he meant Baron Corbin, Mellow and tricks sounds like a

1434
01:24:15,840 --> 01:24:20,319
banger triple threat. I'm down for that. At Summer Slow,

1435
01:24:20,319 --> 01:24:22,880
I see what you said. Welcome back Corse, see you

1436
01:24:23,000 --> 01:24:27,439
misplaced the comma. It changed the whole meaning of the superchat,

1437
01:24:30,840 --> 01:24:33,439
or you're missing one. You missed the comma there. And

1438
01:24:33,479 --> 01:24:37,319
you see how important punctuation can be. That's why I

1439
01:24:37,359 --> 01:24:39,359
was so fucked up when I was reading your superchat.

1440
01:24:42,159 --> 01:24:49,399
Puncture proper punctuation very important. Niko says, can they coexist?

1441
01:24:50,560 --> 01:24:52,720
As I roll the eyes in the back of my head,

1442
01:24:52,760 --> 01:24:54,319
do you think this would lead to a fatal four

1443
01:24:54,359 --> 01:24:58,199
way Summer Slime? No, it will be no fatal four

1444
01:24:58,239 --> 01:25:01,439
way misfit wrestling podcast with a ten. Someone actually saw

1445
01:25:01,520 --> 01:25:03,479
Nick All just get the crap kicked out of him

1446
01:25:03,479 --> 01:25:05,680
by Gunther and said, yeah, it's a four way it's

1447
01:25:07,119 --> 01:25:13,039
Are you picking on Nico now? Yeah. You can't watch

1448
01:25:13,079 --> 01:25:15,439
the end of that show tonight and still think that

1449
01:25:15,479 --> 01:25:19,279
they're doing a four way at Summerslim. The answer is no,

1450
01:25:19,279 --> 01:25:25,199
nor should they. I gotta be honest with you, Like

1451
01:25:25,199 --> 01:25:28,119
like Gunther with the world title scene and everything, I'm done.

1452
01:25:28,319 --> 01:25:30,760
I'm done. Let him do something else. I don't want

1453
01:25:30,800 --> 01:25:33,159
him in that match at Summer Slim. Even if he

1454
01:25:33,319 --> 01:25:35,520
was available to be in the match, I would not

1455
01:25:35,560 --> 01:25:38,279
add him to the match. I would keep it one

1456
01:25:38,319 --> 01:25:43,560
on one flamethrower. Fluff's Salisbury would not ever happen. But

1457
01:25:43,600 --> 01:25:47,479
I would love to have Pco as Dan Housen's creation

1458
01:25:47,720 --> 01:25:55,399
under the sheets. So you saying under the sheets kind

1459
01:25:55,399 --> 01:26:02,880
of threw me off there a little bit, uh, but yeah,

1460
01:26:03,359 --> 01:26:07,359
I mean the gimmick would fit. Holy shit Wrestling says,

1461
01:26:07,439 --> 01:26:11,640
Vince is back and you cannot convince me otherwise. What

1462
01:26:11,880 --> 01:26:13,520
was it that gave it away to you that you

1463
01:26:13,520 --> 01:26:18,199
think Vince's back? Was it the return of Baron Corby?

1464
01:26:18,880 --> 01:26:31,840
Was it something else? Craig Humphreys, what's going on? Craig says,

1465
01:26:32,079 --> 01:26:36,159
I've never seen Nick all this wrestle. Is he any good? Yeah?

1466
01:26:36,199 --> 01:26:39,239
I mean he's he's a he's a solid wrestler. Yeah,

1467
01:26:39,279 --> 01:26:43,600
I mean he's good. Former NWA champion, former TNA champion,

1468
01:26:43,640 --> 01:26:47,760
although his run at nw A was better than his

1469
01:26:47,840 --> 01:26:54,119
magnus stuff in TNA, carried himself well, I thought was

1470
01:26:54,159 --> 01:26:57,239
the NWA champion actually has a great a couple of

1471
01:26:57,239 --> 01:26:58,920
matches with him, but there's a there's a great match

1472
01:26:58,960 --> 01:27:01,840
at all in that he had with Cody Rhodes many

1473
01:27:01,920 --> 01:27:09,800
years ago. Not a flashy wrestler, He's not the kind

1474
01:27:09,800 --> 01:27:11,640
of wrestler who's going to be out there doing all

1475
01:27:11,720 --> 01:27:15,239
kinds of like flips and moves that make your jaw

1476
01:27:15,359 --> 01:27:21,600
drop or anything like that. He's a perfectly you know, competent,

1477
01:27:22,560 --> 01:27:35,079
you know technical i'd say technical in ring wrestler. We

1478
01:27:35,239 --> 01:27:38,399
got Sea guy is here always like Korb, and he

1479
01:27:38,439 --> 01:27:42,279
deserves a solid mid run. Well, mid is a good

1480
01:27:42,279 --> 01:27:46,199
word to describe much of his last run. Hopefully this

1481
01:27:46,319 --> 01:27:52,920
time they'll go a different way with him. Raheem Cody

1482
01:27:54,119 --> 01:27:56,720
Solomonster hoping to see the Creed Brothers get a big

1483
01:27:56,760 --> 01:28:00,880
push suit. Now that WWE said that they are committed

1484
01:28:01,920 --> 01:28:04,720
to rebuilding the tag team division, Who's who? Where did

1485
01:28:04,800 --> 01:28:07,159
they say this? I would point me to the statement

1486
01:28:07,199 --> 01:28:10,560
where they said this. I don't believe it. I don't

1487
01:28:10,560 --> 01:28:16,319
believe they're committed to shit. Actually, shit is the one

1488
01:28:16,319 --> 01:28:18,359
thing they've been committed to in the tag team division.

1489
01:28:20,039 --> 01:28:26,039
I don't believe them. Venom Kittetsu. Every time you say

1490
01:28:26,560 --> 01:28:29,680
one on one, I keep expecting you to follow up

1491
01:28:29,720 --> 01:28:35,840
with with the great one. I've been attitude error programmed

1492
01:28:35,880 --> 01:28:38,279
by the Rock. I thought you were going to say

1493
01:28:38,279 --> 01:28:43,800
one on one with the Undertaker. That's that's ruthless aggression

1494
01:28:43,840 --> 01:28:49,520
era though Saint James says, can we expect an l

1495
01:28:49,560 --> 01:28:53,920
a night promo at CM punk next? Why would he

1496
01:28:53,960 --> 01:28:59,439
cut a promo on CM punk because of what he

1497
01:28:59,439 --> 01:29:06,039
said last week? I guess it would be consistent with

1498
01:29:06,079 --> 01:29:07,640
some of the other things that he has said about

1499
01:29:07,640 --> 01:29:10,640
people getting opportunities that they haven't earned. But no, he's

1500
01:29:10,640 --> 01:29:13,680
going to be a little bit busy with Bloodline Drama

1501
01:29:13,760 --> 01:29:24,039
and Bloodline Lore. He's still stuck in that vortex. JD

1502
01:29:24,279 --> 01:29:26,439
was talking about them rebuilding the tag teams a few

1503
01:29:26,439 --> 01:29:28,800
months ago. Well, yeah, he's out to lunch on that.

1504
01:29:29,199 --> 01:29:38,439
They're not rebuilding shit, Jeremy. I mean the reports about

1505
01:29:38,479 --> 01:29:40,359
them bringing back casen End Zone. All of a sudden,

1506
01:29:40,359 --> 01:29:43,319
everybody thinks they're rebuilding the tag team division. Now they're

1507
01:29:43,319 --> 01:29:45,680
bringing back a tag team act that was over because

1508
01:29:45,680 --> 01:29:48,840
they had a lot of catchy catchphrases and they could

1509
01:29:48,840 --> 01:29:50,960
sell a lot of merch. That does not equal them

1510
01:29:51,000 --> 01:29:57,960
having a desire to rebuild the tag team division. Jeremy says,

1511
01:29:57,960 --> 01:30:00,520
this company could have had a fire SmackDown by doing

1512
01:30:00,560 --> 01:30:03,119
something big like Cody or Punk Heel Turn, but instead

1513
01:30:03,159 --> 01:30:05,079
it was I want a title shot. Well, why would

1514
01:30:05,079 --> 01:30:07,199
they do the heel Turn tonight? That would be lame.

1515
01:30:08,560 --> 01:30:12,399
I'll just give everything away. If Cody or Punk was

1516
01:30:12,439 --> 01:30:15,760
gonna go heal, you do it at SummerSlam. You don't

1517
01:30:15,840 --> 01:30:18,359
just throw it out there on a random fucking SmackDown.

1518
01:30:18,399 --> 01:30:21,119
That would have been terrible. I agree, though, like them,

1519
01:30:21,159 --> 01:30:23,640
it was a very basic promo. I mean, there wasn't

1520
01:30:23,720 --> 01:30:25,720
much to it, but turning heel. No, you don't do

1521
01:30:25,760 --> 01:30:29,039
a heel turn on the show tonight, that would be counterproductive,

1522
01:30:32,039 --> 01:30:35,359
Prince Vegeta says, Jacob FAUGHTU gives me cartoon villain of

1523
01:30:35,439 --> 01:30:39,760
the weak vibes with this, with his stupid catch phrases

1524
01:30:39,800 --> 01:30:46,039
and his shaking thing or whatever the fuck you call it. Yeah,

1525
01:30:46,079 --> 01:30:48,159
it just it makes me sad though, that they've really

1526
01:30:48,239 --> 01:30:50,279
cooled him off. I mean, I'm sure at some point

1527
01:30:50,319 --> 01:30:52,560
the plan is to heat him back up months from

1528
01:30:52,560 --> 01:30:56,199
now and Roman will be back on vacation and maybe

1529
01:30:56,279 --> 01:30:59,319
Jacob will take a spot. But I don't like the

1530
01:30:59,319 --> 01:31:03,199
way they've cooled him down. I really don't. It's it's

1531
01:31:03,279 --> 01:31:13,319
just it's terrible, Jeremy says. So since SummerSlam, Gunther has

1532
01:31:13,359 --> 01:31:19,039
beaten down Cole McAfee and all this retired old guys

1533
01:31:19,159 --> 01:31:24,840
like Sena aj Goldberg and lost every title match. Great job.

1534
01:31:25,000 --> 01:31:32,920
Ww A, he's the career killer, are you not? Are

1535
01:31:32,960 --> 01:31:39,880
you not entertained by the career killer? He wasn't even

1536
01:31:39,880 --> 01:31:43,239
the one who ended McAfee's career in w W. McAfee

1537
01:31:43,279 --> 01:31:47,520
did that himself. He's the one that made that stipulation

1538
01:31:47,600 --> 01:31:53,000
for WrestleMania. James Crawford, there's that first one hundred dollars

1539
01:31:53,039 --> 01:31:55,479
bomb which I read earlier. James, thank you. He was

1540
01:31:55,520 --> 01:31:59,560
not done yet though. There was another one. This was

1541
01:31:59,800 --> 01:32:04,000
this was Boots losing his mind here over Kathy Kelly.

1542
01:32:05,239 --> 01:32:16,000
James though with that double bomb JFC, thank you, James. Yeah,

1543
01:32:16,000 --> 01:32:17,680
we got a bunch of Oh my god, is that

1544
01:32:18,159 --> 01:32:21,680
is that? Oh my god? Look who it is? Look

1545
01:32:21,680 --> 01:32:24,920
who just gifted a channel membership in the chat? Do

1546
01:32:25,039 --> 01:32:34,000
my eyes deceive me? It is Bulu? Fatulu Bulu? Where

1547
01:32:34,000 --> 01:32:37,760
have you been? We haven't heard from Bulu in forever?

1548
01:32:39,840 --> 01:32:43,479
Are we starting to fear that he left us? Thank

1549
01:32:43,479 --> 01:32:47,039
you for the membership, Actually, scum dog, I think gifted

1550
01:32:47,079 --> 01:32:49,600
a whole bunch. I think five channel memberships earlier. Scum dog?

1551
01:32:49,640 --> 01:32:54,000
Are you still here? Thank you? Scum dog. Brandon Procter says,

1552
01:32:54,000 --> 01:32:56,800
I Love You solo or almost a ninety three thousand

1553
01:32:56,920 --> 01:33:02,840
subscribers acknowledge the number one wrestling podcasts as we were

1554
01:33:02,920 --> 01:33:05,439
last week. Thank you Brendon. Yes, we are getting ever

1555
01:33:06,159 --> 01:33:13,359
ever so close to ninety three thousand subs, only seven

1556
01:33:13,399 --> 01:33:24,159
thousand away. Yeah, I do plan on resuming the classic

1557
01:33:24,279 --> 01:33:30,680
Sounduff uploads for the Legends Tier channel members right now.

1558
01:33:30,840 --> 01:33:33,960
It's the first thirteen or fourteen episodes that I ever

1559
01:33:34,039 --> 01:33:38,840
did of the sounduff. They're all up there. You can

1560
01:33:38,880 --> 01:33:41,520
listen to them if you're a Legends Tier member, and

1561
01:33:41,920 --> 01:33:45,159
I'm going to pick up with those. And the first

1562
01:33:45,239 --> 01:33:48,199
two episodes of SE Scoops Live, which many of you

1563
01:33:48,239 --> 01:33:51,680
are like, what's that? I was doing a call in

1564
01:33:51,800 --> 01:33:54,279
show with my buddy Noah, the mark for SE Scoops

1565
01:33:54,319 --> 01:33:58,680
after Raw on Monday nights starting in two thousand and eight.

1566
01:34:01,039 --> 01:34:06,439
First two episodes are also up for Legends Tier members.

1567
01:34:07,039 --> 01:34:12,840
We have Venom Catetsu the twenty five dollars super Chat.

1568
01:34:13,039 --> 01:34:18,039
There was a new trailer for Godzilla Minus zero yesterday,

1569
01:34:18,119 --> 01:34:20,319
shorter than the first one, so not much new stuff

1570
01:34:20,319 --> 01:34:24,199
to ponder. Do you have a favorite Godzilla movie Japan

1571
01:34:24,399 --> 01:34:27,479
or US? As a New Yorker, how was surviving Godzilla's

1572
01:34:27,520 --> 01:34:30,720
attack in ninety eight. I didn't see the ninety eight

1573
01:34:30,720 --> 01:34:32,840
one when it first came out. I saw many years later.

1574
01:34:34,399 --> 01:34:38,560
If I had a favorite one, man, I really enjoyed

1575
01:34:38,560 --> 01:34:42,439
minus one, which is why I want to see minus zero.

1576
01:34:44,239 --> 01:34:47,920
I might actually go minus one as my favorite one.

1577
01:34:48,199 --> 01:34:49,880
I didn't see all of them. There were some that

1578
01:34:49,920 --> 01:34:53,079
I miss but of the ones that I've seen, I'm

1579
01:34:53,119 --> 01:35:00,199
thinking minus one minus one was really good. And we

1580
01:35:00,279 --> 01:35:07,880
just hit the double bonus. The double bonus goal has

1581
01:35:07,920 --> 01:35:13,159
been achieved, which means that we have three. We have

1582
01:35:13,479 --> 01:35:17,840
three rounds. Do I even have enough left in the cup?

1583
01:35:17,880 --> 01:35:19,800
I don't know, but we've got three rounds. Would be

1584
01:35:19,840 --> 01:35:24,000
the booker coming up on tap. Hey, you guys have

1585
01:35:24,199 --> 01:35:32,000
just you've unlocked the Beast. Tonight for shits and giggles,

1586
01:35:32,039 --> 01:35:35,399
we'll put one more goal up here. We hit four,

1587
01:35:35,439 --> 01:35:37,239
we actually match what we did. I get was it

1588
01:35:37,279 --> 01:35:46,880
Monday when we did four? I believe it was. I

1589
01:35:46,920 --> 01:35:50,920
wish that they gave more flexibility in these in these goals,

1590
01:35:51,880 --> 01:35:55,000
like if you wanted to make it three three of

1591
01:35:55,600 --> 01:35:59,239
three of this or three of that, it's like one, five, ten, fifteen,

1592
01:35:59,359 --> 01:36:05,880
twenty fifth. The weird increment it will do five. What

1593
01:36:05,920 --> 01:36:13,520
the hell Jeremy Rose's Summer Slim has gone from fifty

1594
01:36:13,560 --> 01:36:18,119
seven thousand to now barely selling twenty thousand. Hello, TKO,

1595
01:36:18,960 --> 01:36:22,000
time to panic. Now they got to sell more furry

1596
01:36:22,079 --> 01:36:26,840
belts and merch because tickets don't sell. They'll sell, they'll

1597
01:36:26,880 --> 01:36:29,119
sell tickets. They're just not going to come close to

1598
01:36:29,119 --> 01:36:33,039
what they did last year. And it's a combination of

1599
01:36:33,079 --> 01:36:38,760
different things. You can't ignore the John Cena effect. John

1600
01:36:38,840 --> 01:36:40,920
Cena was on the card at least for Night Too

1601
01:36:41,640 --> 01:36:43,840
last year and it was his final Summer Slam. This

1602
01:36:44,560 --> 01:36:48,640
was announced and known in advance. We saw the effect

1603
01:36:48,640 --> 01:36:50,560
that Seena had on ticket sales when it came to

1604
01:36:50,600 --> 01:36:55,560
the weekly TVs. So that's part of it. But also

1605
01:36:57,319 --> 01:37:01,960
they just, you know, business was business was still booming

1606
01:37:01,960 --> 01:37:05,560
in a way that it is not. They're off the peak. Eventually,

1607
01:37:05,600 --> 01:37:08,119
you have to come down from the peak. And it's

1608
01:37:08,159 --> 01:37:11,520
also what happens when you price yourself out. So while

1609
01:37:11,520 --> 01:37:13,359
there are still plenty of people who are willing to

1610
01:37:13,520 --> 01:37:17,399
enable to spend on the tickets and the furry belts

1611
01:37:17,760 --> 01:37:19,880
and all the stuff they're putting out, a lot of

1612
01:37:19,880 --> 01:37:23,000
people can't, you know, And so there are people that

1613
01:37:23,079 --> 01:37:25,000
might normally go to SummerSlam who are going to be

1614
01:37:25,079 --> 01:37:28,359
priced out. That hasn't really changed, you know. The ticket

1615
01:37:28,399 --> 01:37:30,600
pricing is still very much an issue, even when they

1616
01:37:30,880 --> 01:37:34,720
have these ticket discounts twenty five percent off, you know,

1617
01:37:34,760 --> 01:37:37,319
like they did for the America two hundred and fiftieth anniversary,

1618
01:37:37,359 --> 01:37:40,760
So you got the twenty five percent discount. For some

1619
01:37:40,800 --> 01:37:44,359
of the live events this year, they've tried to discount tickets.

1620
01:37:44,119 --> 01:37:49,159
It's not enough, though, and eventually their greed will catch

1621
01:37:49,239 --> 01:37:51,840
up to them. But it hasn't yet because they still

1622
01:37:51,880 --> 01:37:54,000
have plenty of people who are willing to pay those prices,

1623
01:37:54,039 --> 01:37:56,880
and until that changes, they don't really have any incentive

1624
01:37:56,920 --> 01:38:00,279
to change. But eventually it'll have to. It'll have to.

1625
01:38:00,720 --> 01:38:07,760
What goes up must come down. Venom Catetsu says, I

1626
01:38:07,800 --> 01:38:12,479
am the learning Brie. Thanks GenZ, thank you, Venom Caitetsu.

1627
01:38:13,560 --> 01:38:17,239
Raheem Cody, I read your message earlier. I don't have

1628
01:38:17,279 --> 01:38:23,920
a good answer for you, Dark Effect. When are they

1629
01:38:23,960 --> 01:38:28,560
going to give Jacob his manhood back? Let him get

1630
01:38:28,640 --> 01:38:31,319
Romans junk out of his mouth? And he puts that

1631
01:38:31,640 --> 01:38:33,680
this is family here. You're talking You're talking about an

1632
01:38:33,680 --> 01:38:41,840
incestuous relationship. Let him get Romans junk out of his

1633
01:38:41,880 --> 01:38:44,640
mouth and he puts down his purse before he talks

1634
01:38:44,680 --> 01:38:47,319
any more crap. They've completely made Jacob look like a

1635
01:38:47,359 --> 01:38:52,800
limp noodle. Oh nope, nope, let us not forget what

1636
01:38:52,840 --> 01:38:55,479
Michael Cole said after he lost to Roman Reigns the

1637
01:38:55,560 --> 01:38:59,600
last time. Right, what did he say the what was

1638
01:38:59,600 --> 01:39:05,039
the exact quote? The werewolf has been neutered, right? I

1639
01:39:05,119 --> 01:39:07,960
think I think neutered was the word that he used.

1640
01:39:08,800 --> 01:39:15,920
That's what he said on commentary. They neutered him. That's

1641
01:39:15,920 --> 01:39:21,479
a shoot. Boomerang says, do we see it? Drew McIntyre

1642
01:39:21,600 --> 01:39:24,720
return at Summerslim as a babyface to join the fight

1643
01:39:24,800 --> 01:39:30,039
against the Bloodline. I don't know if I'm ready for

1644
01:39:30,119 --> 01:39:34,439
McIntyre as a babyface. I don't think I like that.

1645
01:39:36,399 --> 01:39:40,760
I don't know. I don't know how I feel about that.

1646
01:39:43,960 --> 01:39:46,720
The Uffman says, Bonus be the booker. Let's go. Yeah,

1647
01:39:46,720 --> 01:39:50,399
we got three rounds coming our way. We're almost there.

1648
01:39:50,479 --> 01:39:53,880
Jeremy says, Well, TKO realize their shitty storylines are half

1649
01:39:53,880 --> 01:39:57,159
the problem with ticket sales. Got to fire the old

1650
01:39:57,239 --> 01:40:02,960
Vince guys like Bruce and ps Hay, I noticed you

1651
01:40:02,960 --> 01:40:08,039
didn't mention the Vince's son in law in that you

1652
01:40:08,119 --> 01:40:10,239
ignored him. You went right to the Vince guys. Is

1653
01:40:10,279 --> 01:40:16,840
he not technically a Vince Guy misbit wrestling podcast? So

1654
01:40:17,079 --> 01:40:20,680
like Big Cast is under Dan Housen's cloth, right, I'll

1655
01:40:20,720 --> 01:40:22,760
tell you what. And I think JD mentioned this on

1656
01:40:22,840 --> 01:40:27,640
TNT the other night when Dan Housen spoke to Matt

1657
01:40:27,680 --> 01:40:30,920
Cardona and told him that he had been on the

1658
01:40:30,920 --> 01:40:33,159
phone with somebody who was going to be his backup

1659
01:40:33,680 --> 01:40:36,119
at Saturday Night's made event. My initial thought was, okay,

1660
01:40:36,119 --> 01:40:41,159
well that's that's the Jalen Brunson spot. And then Jalen

1661
01:40:41,199 --> 01:40:44,159
Brunton went and had wrist surgery, so he may still

1662
01:40:44,279 --> 01:40:46,000
make it appearance, but he's not going to be able

1663
01:40:46,039 --> 01:40:48,640
to really play a role. He's not really going to

1664
01:40:48,640 --> 01:40:52,680
be able to do anything physical. And you know his

1665
01:40:52,800 --> 01:40:55,039
thought was, well maybe because it was in the way

1666
01:40:55,119 --> 01:40:57,159
Dan Housen said it, something like, oh no, no, like

1667
01:40:57,279 --> 01:40:59,119
the person he was on the phone with was real.

1668
01:40:59,399 --> 01:41:03,640
He's real, right, Well, Enzo is real. It's his name

1669
01:41:03,640 --> 01:41:07,119
on the NDC real one. So it could be a

1670
01:41:07,600 --> 01:41:10,560
spot where they're going to reintroduce casin Enzo in New York,

1671
01:41:11,359 --> 01:41:14,840
which would make sense, and they're going to reintroduce them

1672
01:41:14,840 --> 01:41:16,840
at Madison Square Garden and they're going to be part

1673
01:41:16,880 --> 01:41:21,720
of the Dan House and JD McDonald match segment. So

1674
01:41:21,960 --> 01:41:25,399
I could absolutely see that. In fact, I think that

1675
01:41:25,479 --> 01:41:30,239
sounds pretty likely. But why would that mean Big Cast

1676
01:41:30,359 --> 01:41:34,960
is under the sheet? Though? Where's Enzo? Then? Why would

1677
01:41:35,000 --> 01:41:37,840
only big Casts be under the sheet and not Enzo?

1678
01:41:38,720 --> 01:41:43,840
I don't know what they're doing with the sheet. Be

1679
01:41:44,000 --> 01:41:48,319
Man the champ, great Boring Corbin is back. Well, well, well,

1680
01:41:48,359 --> 01:41:52,960
hold on, now, let's give him a shot. Corbin did

1681
01:41:52,960 --> 01:41:55,159
some good stuff there at the end, and then they

1682
01:41:55,239 --> 01:41:59,319
just got rid of him. So I'm hopeful that this

1683
01:41:59,399 --> 01:42:01,720
is not just gonna of your return to the same old, boring,

1684
01:42:02,359 --> 01:42:04,920
boring Corbin bullshit that you know he was doing there

1685
01:42:04,960 --> 01:42:09,239
for a while. I'm I'm trying to be optimistic about that.

1686
01:42:11,119 --> 01:42:13,479
Orbin does have something he can contribute to the mid

1687
01:42:13,520 --> 01:42:18,800
card on that show. Misfit Wrestling Podcast. I blame Naomi

1688
01:42:19,239 --> 01:42:27,560
for the trend of shitty custom straps on titles, Well,

1689
01:42:27,600 --> 01:42:32,399
I mean, she didn't invent it, can't really just blame

1690
01:42:32,479 --> 01:42:37,239
her for it. Retro Koh Trick Williams new gimmick is

1691
01:42:37,279 --> 01:42:42,880
being a furry. Apparently his belt looks like a strawberry

1692
01:42:42,920 --> 01:42:45,560
that has been left out in the sun for a

1693
01:42:45,560 --> 01:42:55,439
few days. Trust me, I know, Philip Bowman. Jeff Hardy's

1694
01:42:55,439 --> 01:42:57,920
custom TNA belt looks better than the first strap. I'll

1695
01:42:57,960 --> 01:43:00,479
tell you what. That purple Jeff hard He belt from

1696
01:43:00,520 --> 01:43:06,800
TNA does look better than this. Punch Perfect says you

1697
01:43:06,840 --> 01:43:10,680
missed the Fatal Influence vignette solo. No, I didn't. I

1698
01:43:10,720 --> 01:43:16,720
intentionally skipped over it. Ragnarok with a five Happy Friday brother,

1699
01:43:16,840 --> 01:43:18,680
The boys and I got tickets at the g One

1700
01:43:18,720 --> 01:43:22,319
show in Chicago tomorrow, my first g One. Not sure

1701
01:43:22,359 --> 01:43:25,119
what to expect, but very excited for it. That is

1702
01:43:25,239 --> 01:43:29,279
very cool. What you can expect is some really good wrestling.

1703
01:43:31,920 --> 01:43:34,680
I believe is Takeshta going to be on that show.

1704
01:43:34,720 --> 01:43:37,439
I think he is. Yeah. They're kicking off the g

1705
01:43:37,560 --> 01:43:41,960
One this year in Hoffman Estate's, Illinois, which is where

1706
01:43:41,960 --> 01:43:44,079
All Out is this year, just on the outskirts of

1707
01:43:44,199 --> 01:43:47,399
Chicago at the Now Arena. That's where the g One

1708
01:43:47,479 --> 01:43:51,079
is kicking off this year, and then it should be

1709
01:43:51,239 --> 01:43:54,520
off to Japan for Kenoski Takeshta for the next month.

1710
01:43:55,880 --> 01:44:00,680
Misfit Wrestling Podcast. WWE should upload the off air promo

1711
01:44:00,760 --> 01:44:03,520
from Halloween Havoc ninety six from Piper and Hogan on

1712
01:44:03,560 --> 01:44:06,159
the WCW Vault channel as the pay per view feed

1713
01:44:06,199 --> 01:44:09,239
cut mid promo. They should, and I'm sure they have

1714
01:44:09,319 --> 01:44:12,239
it in the vault and it'll probably pop up one day.

1715
01:44:12,439 --> 01:44:15,039
It's just very random when they upload these things. They

1716
01:44:15,039 --> 01:44:18,640
just uploaded a dark match from Boston between John Cena

1717
01:44:18,680 --> 01:44:20,760
and Cmpunk. I don't know what the year was on

1718
01:44:20,800 --> 01:44:22,359
it though. I don't know if it was twenty eleven,

1719
01:44:23,560 --> 01:44:31,680
twenty twelve. What about the Fiend Face Belt? Oh my god,

1720
01:44:31,680 --> 01:44:34,960
I forgot about that. You mean the Fiend Belt that

1721
01:44:35,000 --> 01:44:40,119
they initially sold for six thousand dollars. I gotta tell

1722
01:44:40,159 --> 01:44:45,239
you there's a There was a famous phone call that

1723
01:44:45,319 --> 01:44:47,760
I got on one of the streams many years ago.

1724
01:44:49,720 --> 01:44:51,680
It was on how to Be one of the Dynamite

1725
01:44:51,720 --> 01:44:53,920
reviews because thunder Rose at the time was in the

1726
01:44:54,000 --> 01:44:56,520
NWA and I think she was the NWA Women's Champion

1727
01:44:56,520 --> 01:44:58,840
and she appeared on Dynamite with the belt. I'm pretty

1728
01:44:58,880 --> 01:45:00,520
sure it was. Was it thunder Row? I think it

1729
01:45:00,520 --> 01:45:09,479
was thunder Rosa. This was Alison k Now I think

1730
01:45:09,479 --> 01:45:12,800
it was thunder Rosa anyway, So she had the belt,

1731
01:45:13,079 --> 01:45:19,039
and this caller was he was insistent that the belt

1732
01:45:19,079 --> 01:45:23,600
was made of plastic. And he had a very extensive

1733
01:45:23,640 --> 01:45:28,039
belt collection, replica collection, and he just was convinced that

1734
01:45:28,079 --> 01:45:30,520
this belt was plastic. I can't believe they would allow

1735
01:45:31,079 --> 01:45:34,119
her on TV with this plastic looking belts. And I

1736
01:45:34,159 --> 01:45:37,159
was like, I mean, it might be plastic. I couldn't

1737
01:45:37,159 --> 01:45:40,159
really tell, but he was insistent that it was plastic,

1738
01:45:40,199 --> 01:45:43,359
and I want to say that in the course of

1739
01:45:43,399 --> 01:45:49,000
our conversation, he said that he had bought the Fiend belt.

1740
01:45:49,960 --> 01:45:53,039
I think he had the Fiend belt, which at the

1741
01:45:53,079 --> 01:45:59,359
time they were selling for six thousand dollars, and I

1742
01:45:59,520 --> 01:46:04,319
was just I was blown away by this a that

1743
01:46:04,399 --> 01:46:06,680
somebody would spend six thousand dollars for a belt. But

1744
01:46:06,720 --> 01:46:08,479
I know there were people like if you get like

1745
01:46:08,520 --> 01:46:12,319
an originally handmade belt, yes, there are belts that will

1746
01:46:12,359 --> 01:46:16,760
go for that much, obviously, but why that belt. It

1747
01:46:16,840 --> 01:46:21,800
was an ugly fucking belt. I wouldn't pay six dollars

1748
01:46:21,800 --> 01:46:27,079
for that belt. That's what blew me away, Like, why

1749
01:46:27,119 --> 01:46:36,239
would anyone spend six thousand dollars on that, Randy, thank

1750
01:46:36,279 --> 01:46:43,800
you for the fifty dollars bomb. Armchair critic ten ten

1751
01:46:43,920 --> 01:46:49,279
because he murdered the first nine. A favorite attitude or

1752
01:46:49,359 --> 01:46:54,520
rivalry outside of Austin versus McMahon slash Rock, I mean,

1753
01:46:54,560 --> 01:46:56,960
would undertaker a mankind count? I mean not really though

1754
01:46:56,960 --> 01:47:00,600
probably right because it started in the in the new era,

1755
01:47:02,319 --> 01:47:04,920
Rock and Triple H was was a great rivalry and

1756
01:47:04,960 --> 01:47:08,159
it was real. I mean there was some real competition

1757
01:47:08,239 --> 01:47:13,239
going on between those two Rock and Triple h Is

1758
01:47:13,319 --> 01:47:16,800
up there. But if I if not Austin McMahon or

1759
01:47:16,840 --> 01:47:20,840
Austin Rock, I have to go Rock and Mankind. Rock

1760
01:47:20,880 --> 01:47:30,479
and Mankind would would be my number two. James again

1761
01:47:30,680 --> 01:47:36,000
with another one hundred dollars bomb, telling Randall so feel

1762
01:47:36,079 --> 01:47:39,840
left out. Randall cutting promos on guys left and right

1763
01:47:41,239 --> 01:47:43,199
cuts a better promo than half the people on TV

1764
01:47:43,319 --> 01:47:46,920
right now. Venom cantats you, James paid for some of

1765
01:47:46,960 --> 01:47:55,960
your new ac hewnon or a fuel pump. I have

1766
01:47:56,000 --> 01:47:58,479
a new thing now where I noticed the other day

1767
01:47:58,680 --> 01:48:02,520
whenever I hit the the the brake pedal to decelerate,

1768
01:48:04,199 --> 01:48:10,039
it makes this very weird noise, like they check the

1769
01:48:10,039 --> 01:48:12,319
brake pads and everything ever they say everything looks okay,

1770
01:48:12,359 --> 01:48:14,680
I'm like, all right, as long as you say it

1771
01:48:14,680 --> 01:48:18,399
looks okay. I put sixteen hundred dollars into Breakwork last year.

1772
01:48:18,439 --> 01:48:22,600
There shouldn't be anything wrong with them. Misfit Wrestling podcast

1773
01:48:22,680 --> 01:48:26,000
with a fifty dollars super chat. I know some people

1774
01:48:26,119 --> 01:48:28,279
like to make dark Side of the Ring episode predictions,

1775
01:48:28,479 --> 01:48:30,520
and we read this one already. Yes, the one that

1776
01:48:30,560 --> 01:48:35,840
I botched when I said Yoshihiko when it was Yoshiko. Yeah.

1777
01:48:35,840 --> 01:48:37,680
I talked about that also on the sound off when

1778
01:48:37,680 --> 01:48:44,199
it happened. I talked about that whole incident. It was terrible.

1779
01:48:44,960 --> 01:48:52,520
What an asshole Deputy Dog thinks he's a comedian now

1780
01:48:52,520 --> 01:48:56,840
he says solid monster all guess no breaks, son of

1781
01:48:56,840 --> 01:49:03,199
a bitch. Brandon Procter talking about the million dollar title.

1782
01:49:03,239 --> 01:49:06,359
Whyan kfa did Debiassi make the title? Was it because

1783
01:49:06,359 --> 01:49:11,920
he couldn't beat Hogan? No, it was because he didn't

1784
01:49:11,960 --> 01:49:14,680
need it. He didn't need the WWE Championship because he

1785
01:49:14,760 --> 01:49:16,520
was the million dollar man. He could pay for an

1786
01:49:16,520 --> 01:49:20,239
even better title, one that was more expensive, one that

1787
01:49:20,399 --> 01:49:23,439
was more glamorous. That was the basic gist of it.

1788
01:49:28,159 --> 01:49:32,000
Prince Vegeta. I've watched Sopranos twice and my mom has

1789
01:49:32,039 --> 01:49:34,680
even started watching it and is on season two. So

1790
01:49:34,760 --> 01:49:37,119
what is JD's excuse? I don't know. I've been telling

1791
01:49:37,199 --> 01:49:40,800
him this now for a couple of years. How have

1792
01:49:40,880 --> 01:49:46,000
you not watched the Sopranos. It's just it's insane to me.

1793
01:49:49,039 --> 01:49:52,479
But he hasn't seen Obsession either. What a weird guy,

1794
01:49:52,800 --> 01:49:55,000
fast Eddie says Solo. I'm a big fan of your

1795
01:49:55,079 --> 01:49:56,840
Dark Side of the Ring reviews. When are you gonna

1796
01:49:56,880 --> 01:50:04,720
review this season this weekend? First episodes didn't air until Tuesday,

1797
01:50:04,960 --> 01:50:09,760
so this will be the first sound off coming up

1798
01:50:09,760 --> 01:50:12,399
this Sunday since Dark Side returns, So it's a safe

1799
01:50:12,439 --> 01:50:14,560
bet I'll be talking about the first two episodes on

1800
01:50:14,640 --> 01:50:19,680
Sunday and then every week thereafter. You know, they have

1801
01:50:19,760 --> 01:50:24,319
new episodes that drop on WECE every Tuesday. I will

1802
01:50:25,239 --> 01:50:28,079
catch up with them during the week, take some notes,

1803
01:50:28,399 --> 01:50:32,560
review them on Sunday, and then the clips will hit

1804
01:50:32,560 --> 01:50:36,800
the YouTube channel a couple of days later. I want

1805
01:50:36,800 --> 01:50:39,039
people to download the sound off stream it listen to

1806
01:50:39,079 --> 01:50:41,359
it there, but they they'll hit YouTube as well at

1807
01:50:41,359 --> 01:50:47,439
some point, probably on like a week delay and there's

1808
01:50:47,439 --> 01:50:48,960
a playlist, by the way, so if you ever want

1809
01:50:48,960 --> 01:50:51,199
to go back and listen to any of my previous

1810
01:50:51,279 --> 01:50:54,600
dark Side reviews from the previous six seasons, these will

1811
01:50:54,600 --> 01:50:56,880
be added to the existing playlist. This is a playlist

1812
01:50:56,880 --> 01:50:59,479
section here on the YouTube channel. A bunch of different

1813
01:50:59,479 --> 01:51:03,920
playlists my raw reviews, SmackDown reviews, pay per view reviews,

1814
01:51:04,079 --> 01:51:08,119
dark Side reviews, countdowns I've done. I have them all

1815
01:51:08,199 --> 01:51:11,600
organized there, so I'll make sure these get added to

1816
01:51:11,640 --> 01:51:18,760
that playlist. And Alex says brother solo. Did you see

1817
01:51:18,800 --> 01:51:22,319
Big Show's return before Dynamite went live? I love the guy,

1818
01:51:22,399 --> 01:51:25,000
but it's time to hang up the boots. Oh did

1819
01:51:25,000 --> 01:51:27,880
he have a match at Beach Break? I didn't see it.

1820
01:51:28,880 --> 01:51:32,600
Did they put it on their YouTube channel? Because how

1821
01:51:32,640 --> 01:51:37,840
else would I have seen it? I did not see it.

1822
01:51:38,640 --> 01:51:40,439
I thought he was going to bring back this whole

1823
01:51:40,479 --> 01:51:44,079
Captain Insano thing. Wasn't he all excited about that? And

1824
01:51:44,119 --> 01:51:47,720
Tony Kahm bought the rights to it? Did he come

1825
01:51:47,760 --> 01:51:54,760
at as Captain Insano? Tla Mark Bannon? How about a

1826
01:51:54,840 --> 01:52:00,680
dark side of the Ring for Hannah Hanna Kamara. It's

1827
01:52:00,720 --> 01:52:04,079
still a little fresh. I think it's worthy of one

1828
01:52:04,119 --> 01:52:06,560
for sure. I just think it's a little too fresh.

1829
01:52:06,720 --> 01:52:11,680
They might not want to do it just yet although

1830
01:52:11,720 --> 01:52:13,640
it's been has it been five years? I think it's

1831
01:52:13,680 --> 01:52:17,479
been five years now. At some point I would say absolutely.

1832
01:52:17,520 --> 01:52:19,359
I just don't know that they're in a rush to

1833
01:52:19,399 --> 01:52:29,840
really get to that alex Ochoa. Fun fact, Baron Corbin's

1834
01:52:29,880 --> 01:52:32,640
end of Day's theme was the last ever WWE entrance

1835
01:52:32,680 --> 01:52:36,560
theme composed by Jim Johnston. No wonder it was his

1836
01:52:36,640 --> 01:52:49,159
best one. Now it all makes sense, Sylvester Dog, who

1837
01:52:49,199 --> 01:52:52,520
just became a channel member, I believe, Thank you, Sylvester Solomoster.

1838
01:52:52,600 --> 01:52:54,760
If it wasn't for your content, I would stop watching

1839
01:52:54,760 --> 01:52:59,800
wrestling completely because it is so boring. And do you

1840
01:52:59,840 --> 01:53:05,560
think think Cody should turn heel? I do? I do.

1841
01:53:06,479 --> 01:53:09,800
For a long time there I didn't because time wise

1842
01:53:09,840 --> 01:53:12,239
it just didn't make any sense. Like even when the

1843
01:53:12,319 --> 01:53:16,840
Rock wanted his soul, the timing wasn't right. But we're

1844
01:53:16,880 --> 01:53:20,239
at a point now where they could pull it off

1845
01:53:20,760 --> 01:53:23,760
and it would make Cody a lot more interesting frankly

1846
01:53:23,800 --> 01:53:33,680
than he is right now. There he is Bulu fatulu ah.

1847
01:53:33,680 --> 01:53:36,680
That puts a smile on my face seeing Boolu back.

1848
01:53:36,720 --> 01:53:42,439
Now we just got to get Abk back and Fahad.

1849
01:53:42,920 --> 01:53:45,279
I hope they're doing well wherever they are. I haven't

1850
01:53:45,319 --> 01:53:48,920
heard from those guys in a while. Boulu says Oba

1851
01:53:49,000 --> 01:53:54,680
Femi or Jacob Fatu? Who will WWE champ first? Opa

1852
01:53:54,720 --> 01:54:03,359
Femi Oba Femi? Die Hard or lethal Weapon? Buy or sell?

1853
01:54:03,800 --> 01:54:06,439
Die Hard? Diehard is one of my favorite the original

1854
01:54:06,479 --> 01:54:08,039
It's one of my favorite movies of all time, but

1855
01:54:08,079 --> 01:54:11,079
so was the third one. Third One is great, So

1856
01:54:11,159 --> 01:54:16,279
many quotable lines in that one. It's really a bummer.

1857
01:54:16,399 --> 01:54:28,279
You know what's happened to Bruce willis super pony with

1858
01:54:28,399 --> 01:54:32,319
a fifty. There's a magenta bomb. What do you think

1859
01:54:32,359 --> 01:54:35,000
of the idea of gun the getting suspended and Sammy

1860
01:54:35,039 --> 01:54:37,600
needing to find a new partner and it ends up

1861
01:54:37,600 --> 01:54:41,560
being Kevin Owens. I don't like it because it would

1862
01:54:41,560 --> 01:54:44,239
be ridiculous for Owens to lose his first match back.

1863
01:54:44,520 --> 01:54:49,319
No Punjabi prison this time. Oh yeah, so you've you

1864
01:54:49,439 --> 01:54:51,600
just kind of stuck that in there. That's a be

1865
01:54:51,680 --> 01:54:55,920
the Booker reference. That's what we're talking about, putting Kevin

1866
01:54:55,960 --> 01:54:58,479
Owens and Punjabi person. Hey Kevin, I know you've been

1867
01:54:58,520 --> 01:55:03,760
gone for a year after serious spinal fusion surgery or

1868
01:55:03,800 --> 01:55:06,760
whatever whatever next surgery was. And so in your first

1869
01:55:06,760 --> 01:55:09,399
match back, we're gonna put you inside the Punjabi prison

1870
01:55:09,479 --> 01:55:23,359
because reasons. Yeah, I don't like that idea either. Sylvester

1871
01:55:23,560 --> 01:55:26,520
Dogg Solo Monster heard you're a big horror fan. Have

1872
01:55:26,600 --> 01:55:29,960
you seen it? Welcome to Derry. Only nominated for two

1873
01:55:30,000 --> 01:55:34,079
Emmys is shameful. Horror still gets disrespected. It's on my

1874
01:55:34,159 --> 01:55:36,399
list of things to see. I have not seen it yet.

1875
01:55:37,399 --> 01:55:40,199
And yeah, horror does not tend to get a lot

1876
01:55:40,199 --> 01:55:44,520
of love at these award shows. I'm hoping that is

1877
01:55:45,399 --> 01:55:49,279
going to change with Obsession though, because if nothing else,

1878
01:55:49,359 --> 01:55:52,880
I mean really, the entire cast was great, even the

1879
01:55:52,920 --> 01:55:55,840
actor Michael who played Bear in the movie. He was

1880
01:55:55,960 --> 01:55:58,199
very good. But Indian ever ready, if she doesn't, first

1881
01:55:58,239 --> 01:55:59,880
of all, she doesn't get a nomination, then this whole

1882
01:55:59,920 --> 01:56:03,239
fucking thing is rigged. Number one, number two. She should win,

1883
01:56:04,399 --> 01:56:08,119
but at least be nominated. She would she was incredible

1884
01:56:08,119 --> 01:56:17,000
in that movie. Nick Grosso says, if Ria can't get

1885
01:56:17,039 --> 01:56:20,079
cleared in time for Summer Slam, then she needs to

1886
01:56:20,119 --> 01:56:22,760
vacate the women's championship. And if that's the case, maybe

1887
01:56:22,840 --> 01:56:28,520
Jade versus Charlotte for the title at SummerSlam. I guess

1888
01:56:28,600 --> 01:56:30,920
that would It would make sense in that Jade was

1889
01:56:30,960 --> 01:56:35,399
the last champion, so you can, and I mean Charlotte

1890
01:56:35,399 --> 01:56:40,359
is Charlotte, so I mean sure you could. You could

1891
01:56:40,359 --> 01:56:47,399
definitely do that. You could definitely do that because realistically,

1892
01:56:47,640 --> 01:56:49,119
what are you gonna What are you gonna add to

1893
01:56:49,159 --> 01:56:53,520
the show for the women's championship, you know what I mean? Like,

1894
01:56:53,520 --> 01:56:55,159
if you wanted to cry on a new champion at

1895
01:56:55,159 --> 01:56:56,920
Summer Slam, what are you gonna do. You're gonna have

1896
01:56:56,960 --> 01:57:02,239
a tournament in two weeks. You're gonna have a small

1897
01:57:02,279 --> 01:57:06,359
little battle Royal. You're gonna have a random match between

1898
01:57:06,399 --> 01:57:09,000
Alexa Bliss and her one arm and JC Jane, Like,

1899
01:57:09,039 --> 01:57:11,800
it doesn't make any sense. They would almost have to

1900
01:57:11,840 --> 01:57:13,479
do that. They would almost have to put the belt

1901
01:57:13,560 --> 01:57:23,880
up in that Charlotte and Jade match. Super Pony says,

1902
01:57:23,880 --> 01:57:25,840
if Kevin Owens is back in time, he should win

1903
01:57:25,920 --> 01:57:28,720
money in the bank and successfully cash in on Punk

1904
01:57:28,960 --> 01:57:31,600
to start their feud. You can't draw it up any

1905
01:57:31,680 --> 01:57:39,119
better than that. To call it revenge for Sammy, I

1906
01:57:39,119 --> 01:57:45,399
can get behind that. Jeremy Rose with a ten. How

1907
01:57:45,479 --> 01:57:48,079
is Punk or Cody heel turned or hint of one

1908
01:57:48,199 --> 01:57:52,800
counter productive. Isn't the job to sell Summer Slim. Yes,

1909
01:57:52,880 --> 01:57:54,840
it's QB one versus the best in the world, but

1910
01:57:54,880 --> 01:57:57,520
we need more than that. Plus it makes SmackDown intriguing

1911
01:57:57,960 --> 01:58:00,319
for three fucking weeks. Dude, Like, you got three weeks

1912
01:58:00,359 --> 01:58:02,359
to build this match. You're not rushing a heel turn

1913
01:58:02,399 --> 01:58:05,800
on a random SmackDown. That's terrible booking. You do it

1914
01:58:05,880 --> 01:58:09,319
at SummerSlam to create interest coming out of the paper view.

1915
01:58:09,359 --> 01:58:12,279
You only have three weeks between now and then, so

1916
01:58:12,479 --> 01:58:14,720
you don't blow a heel turn on TV between now

1917
01:58:14,760 --> 01:58:17,840
and then. Yes, that's to me, that's counterproductive. So you

1918
01:58:17,920 --> 01:58:20,279
try to make the next three weeks of SmackDown interesting

1919
01:58:20,399 --> 01:58:25,279
with a heel turn when you could really set up

1920
01:58:25,279 --> 01:58:28,399
a major moment, and then coming out of Summer Slam,

1921
01:58:28,960 --> 01:58:31,680
set up and exciting next three, four or five weeks

1922
01:58:31,720 --> 01:58:34,359
whatever it is, until you get to wrestle Paloza and beyond.

1923
01:58:35,239 --> 01:58:37,119
I don't need a heal turn in the next three weeks.

1924
01:58:37,159 --> 01:58:41,199
I certainly didn't need one tonight. I'm okay with waiting

1925
01:58:41,199 --> 01:58:43,720
three weeks for the big match at Summer Slam and

1926
01:58:43,760 --> 01:58:46,079
not even giving us a hint about if anyone goes

1927
01:58:46,119 --> 01:58:50,880
hel who's it gonna be? Right? Make people wonder maybe

1928
01:58:50,920 --> 01:58:54,039
we're gonna get a heel turn at SummerSlam. Right, Well,

1929
01:58:54,039 --> 01:58:55,760
then who's it gonna be? Is it gonna be Cody?

1930
01:58:55,840 --> 01:58:58,640
Is it gonna be Punk? And you create some intrigue

1931
01:58:58,680 --> 01:59:02,159
that way. She don't just give that shit away in

1932
01:59:02,199 --> 01:59:10,680
a random SmackDown like this. Bulu Batulu says Solomonster. I

1933
01:59:10,720 --> 01:59:17,520
work at Low's. My preferred name is Sina. Everybody loves it.

1934
01:59:17,560 --> 01:59:20,479
You get a preferred name at Low's. You can call

1935
01:59:20,520 --> 01:59:27,399
yourself anything you want. Interesting if I worked at Low's,

1936
01:59:27,479 --> 01:59:31,399
I would I would call myself Obafemi. Do I look

1937
01:59:31,439 --> 01:59:34,079
like an oba fem? I feel like I can make

1938
01:59:34,119 --> 01:59:36,680
a work and retro koh. My pet canine had a

1939
01:59:36,680 --> 01:59:47,239
birthday today? Now it is a cat ten? Am I

1940
01:59:47,319 --> 01:59:54,720
missing something here? My pet canine had a birthday today.

1941
01:59:54,760 --> 02:00:04,680
Now it's a cat ten? Get it? What am I

1942
02:00:04,760 --> 02:00:14,560
missing here? I feel like I'm missing the punchline? What

1943
02:00:14,760 --> 02:00:16,680
I strut? Of course I would I If I call

1944
02:00:16,720 --> 02:00:19,079
myself Obafemi a lows, I would have to do the shrut.

1945
02:00:19,479 --> 02:00:22,239
I would be strutting through Lows like if somebody asked

1946
02:00:22,239 --> 02:00:25,680
me for help, like they have to pull something off

1947
02:00:25,680 --> 02:00:28,279
the shelf on like Aisle seventeen or something, I would

1948
02:00:28,720 --> 02:00:35,439
struck my way over. I mean, when you're on the job,

1949
02:00:35,479 --> 02:00:46,840
you got to entertain yourself somehow. Cats have nine lives, Yeah,

1950
02:00:46,880 --> 02:00:50,800
but what my pet canine had a birthday today? Now

1951
02:00:50,880 --> 02:00:55,560
it's a cat ten. I know cats have nine loves.

1952
02:00:59,560 --> 02:01:05,600
I I don't get it went right over my head.

1953
02:01:06,199 --> 02:01:08,960
Joseph Brooks, you said recently that brock Lessner is mister

1954
02:01:09,039 --> 02:01:10,960
Summer Slim. So does that mean that it is no

1955
02:01:11,039 --> 02:01:14,399
longer Brett Hart as mister Summer Slim. Well, Brett Hart

1956
02:01:14,439 --> 02:01:19,119
is like co mister Summer Slim. They both have great

1957
02:01:19,119 --> 02:01:22,039
success at Summer Slim. You can't go wrong with either one.

1958
02:01:22,079 --> 02:01:24,600
But I'm just looking at Brocks had more matches than

1959
02:01:24,600 --> 02:01:28,000
Brett at this point at Summerslim, and I have a

1960
02:01:28,039 --> 02:01:30,880
feeling there'll be another really great one this year because

1961
02:01:30,880 --> 02:01:37,319
their first two or i'd say, pretty exciting stuff. So

1962
02:01:37,399 --> 02:01:40,079
I feel comfortable having Brock in that spot. But if

1963
02:01:40,119 --> 02:01:42,119
you wanted to say that Brett was, because for me

1964
02:01:42,159 --> 02:01:44,000
it was for a long time, I have no issue

1965
02:01:44,039 --> 02:01:45,600
with that. I mean, look at the matches that Brett

1966
02:01:45,600 --> 02:01:48,119
had a couple of great tag team matches in eighty

1967
02:01:48,199 --> 02:01:52,520
nine and ninety classic matches in ninety one and ninety two.

1968
02:01:53,840 --> 02:01:58,399
I enjoyed the match with Jink in ninety three. Ninety

1969
02:01:58,439 --> 02:02:01,279
four is my favorite Summers Slime match of all time.

1970
02:02:02,720 --> 02:02:05,840
Ninety five was like, eh, he missed ninety six and

1971
02:02:05,840 --> 02:02:08,159
then ninety seven. Frankly, ninety seven was one of the

1972
02:02:08,199 --> 02:02:12,399
best main events in Summer Slim history. So he's got

1973
02:02:12,399 --> 02:02:16,279
a pretty strong case, you know. But Brock had that

1974
02:02:16,319 --> 02:02:21,399
great match with Rock, great match with Kurt. Then the

1975
02:02:21,439 --> 02:02:27,199
next one I guess wasn't until twenty they're now twenty twelve, right,

1976
02:02:28,760 --> 02:02:33,960
But the squash with Sina, the match with Undertaker, the

1977
02:02:34,000 --> 02:02:39,359
four way for the Universal title, that was great. That

1978
02:02:39,760 --> 02:02:45,119
was twenty seventeen. That was that was great stuff. Last

1979
02:02:45,119 --> 02:02:48,760
Man Standing with Roman, I know I'm missing one, and

1980
02:02:48,800 --> 02:02:52,920
then this year with Oba. We can't go wrong. You

1981
02:02:53,000 --> 02:03:00,880
really can't go wrong with either one of them. Brett

1982
02:03:00,880 --> 02:03:04,439
Hart against Brocklesner for Mister SummerSlam. We may book it

1983
02:03:04,479 --> 02:03:08,000
and be the booker tonight. They're both in there could

1984
02:03:08,079 --> 02:03:12,239
very well happen. Jeremy says, it's more than just three weeks.

1985
02:03:12,279 --> 02:03:16,279
It can set up possibly WrestleMania, a WrestleMania match. Sure,

1986
02:03:16,680 --> 02:03:19,800
if you do it as Summer Slim, there's your Summer

1987
02:03:19,840 --> 02:03:27,720
Slam moment there. It is because think about it, like

1988
02:03:27,760 --> 02:03:31,279
Punk's not losing the belt at Summer Slam. And if

1989
02:03:31,279 --> 02:03:34,399
we assume that's the case, let's say Cody win heel

1990
02:03:34,560 --> 02:03:40,399
right tonight, boom, he's a heel. He attacks Punk. Okay, great,

1991
02:03:40,399 --> 02:03:44,000
So now you go into Summer Slam and he doesn't

1992
02:03:44,000 --> 02:03:48,720
win the belt, Punk retains. You've already done the heel turn, Like,

1993
02:03:48,760 --> 02:03:51,279
what's the big moment going off the air, what's the

1994
02:03:51,279 --> 02:03:54,760
big moment to close off this big Summer Slam show

1995
02:03:54,800 --> 02:03:56,720
and be the big hook you know to tune in

1996
02:03:56,760 --> 02:03:59,880
for SmackDown that Friday. You've already given the heel turn away.

1997
02:04:01,000 --> 02:04:03,600
You gotta save it like they did with Sena. The

1998
02:04:03,600 --> 02:04:05,920
elimination chamber would be like doing the Scena heel turn

1999
02:04:05,960 --> 02:04:08,880
on a random episode of Raw. Why would you do that?

2000
02:04:10,600 --> 02:04:13,439
Why would you do that? I want these ples to

2001
02:04:13,479 --> 02:04:15,960
feel premium, and sometimes you got to give us a

2002
02:04:15,960 --> 02:04:20,760
premium moment on a premium live event. I'd rather we

2003
02:04:20,840 --> 02:04:23,319
get some more like great matches on the TV shows,

2004
02:04:23,399 --> 02:04:26,560
we went an entire the entire first hour basically just

2005
02:04:26,600 --> 02:04:29,239
one match. The second match I think kicked off like

2006
02:04:29,279 --> 02:04:32,079
the very end of the first hour. The one thing

2007
02:04:32,119 --> 02:04:35,560
these shows need more of are just fucking kick ass

2008
02:04:35,560 --> 02:04:37,840
matches that we can get into. I'm not saying it

2009
02:04:37,880 --> 02:04:39,880
has to be filled and flooded with matches the way

2010
02:04:39,880 --> 02:04:43,920
that they do on Dynamite sometimes, but God, these shows, man,

2011
02:04:44,039 --> 02:04:45,880
you can go a fucking hour with one match and

2012
02:04:45,920 --> 02:04:49,359
then a bunch of terrible promos, and I'm like, what

2013
02:04:49,399 --> 02:04:53,119
are we doing here? No wonder people are tuning out

2014
02:04:53,119 --> 02:04:57,520
of these shows. You gotta give us more than that.

2015
02:05:01,159 --> 02:05:05,039
Jeremy says, Summerslim ends with a crazy alliance like Drew

2016
02:05:05,199 --> 02:05:11,119
joining Cody. So then Cody goes heel by linking up

2017
02:05:11,119 --> 02:05:13,479
a Drew at the end of SummerSlam, united by their

2018
02:05:13,479 --> 02:05:22,039
hatred for cmpunk. It's an interesting twist. Hey, I'm all

2019
02:05:22,039 --> 02:05:24,159
in favor of anything that's gonna shake things up at

2020
02:05:24,159 --> 02:05:29,560
this point. Armchair critic I was surprised to know rock

2021
02:05:29,680 --> 02:05:33,239
Mankind drew similar often higher ratings than Austin, Vince and

2022
02:05:33,319 --> 02:05:36,560
Hogan in ninety eight was a bigger ratings draw than

2023
02:05:36,600 --> 02:05:45,560
even Austin Well. He was still Hogan Hollywood Hogan in

2024
02:05:45,640 --> 02:05:48,439
the nWo until Goldberg finally took him down on that

2025
02:05:48,479 --> 02:05:54,600
one night Troil. Hogan was still a draw super pony.

2026
02:05:54,680 --> 02:05:59,760
Dragonov is cooked by the way for the time being. Yes,

2027
02:06:00,399 --> 02:06:03,159
if I have to assume it's a visa issue, nothing

2028
02:06:03,199 --> 02:06:07,199
else makes sense. They would at least be using him,

2029
02:06:07,239 --> 02:06:09,960
and we would be complaining about the booking, but he

2030
02:06:10,000 --> 02:06:12,560
would be used. For them to not even use him,

2031
02:06:12,600 --> 02:06:16,039
it's got to be a vis issue, and other wrestlers

2032
02:06:16,079 --> 02:06:18,640
have had visa issues recently. We just got Mark Davis

2033
02:06:18,680 --> 02:06:27,159
back on Dynamite. Apparently Commander is finally over his visa issues.

2034
02:06:27,159 --> 02:06:30,560
We'll be seeing him back on TV soon, probably on

2035
02:06:30,600 --> 02:06:38,279
Collision and Ring of Honor. But like Dragon of Stephanie Vicaire,

2036
02:06:39,520 --> 02:06:42,520
this has got to be a visa issue. There's nothing,

2037
02:06:42,520 --> 02:06:44,319
There's no other way to explain it. If they're not injured,

2038
02:06:44,359 --> 02:06:47,359
then what else would it be? What else would it be?

2039
02:06:50,560 --> 02:06:56,000
I hope they can get it all worked out. And Jeremy,

2040
02:06:56,039 --> 02:06:59,479
this product sucks. I just want some new shit. I

2041
02:06:59,560 --> 02:07:02,640
do too, and in three weeks that would be a

2042
02:07:02,680 --> 02:07:07,800
great way to reinvigorate things. On Smackdom. But I'm not

2043
02:07:07,840 --> 02:07:14,079
even convinced they're going to do that. How long could

2044
02:07:14,079 --> 02:07:20,000
a visa issue possibly to It's a new world today.

2045
02:07:24,760 --> 02:07:28,000
Things aren't exactly functioning the way that they used to

2046
02:07:28,039 --> 02:07:30,479
when it comes to the visa process, so it could

2047
02:07:30,520 --> 02:07:33,640
take quite some time. It's all backed up right now.

2048
02:07:33,720 --> 02:07:36,159
I don't see it getting any better, all right, I

2049
02:07:36,199 --> 02:07:40,119
think I'm caught up on your messages. At long last,

2050
02:07:40,159 --> 02:07:43,680
we have arrived and what you guys have been waiting for?

2051
02:07:43,800 --> 02:07:50,560
Here three rounds of be the booker. Jeremy Rose with

2052
02:07:50,600 --> 02:07:56,199
a five. Cody creates a stable of Punk haters Cody, Ko,

2053
02:07:56,439 --> 02:08:02,600
Drew and Sammy. I could get behind that. That's kind

2054
02:08:02,600 --> 02:08:05,000
of a powerful group, though, Like how how would Punk

2055
02:08:05,039 --> 02:08:10,239
fight back against that? Who would punkin list on his side?

2056
02:08:10,479 --> 02:08:13,279
You got Cody Rhodes, Kevin Owens, Sammy's Ain and Drew

2057
02:08:13,359 --> 02:08:19,119
McIntyre all in a group together. I mean, who does Punk?

2058
02:08:19,239 --> 02:08:22,640
Who does Punk come at them with? Who's his backup?

2059
02:08:22,680 --> 02:08:24,239
I know he's friends with Dan House. Maybe you can

2060
02:08:24,279 --> 02:08:29,439
get Dan House and put a curse on them. All right,

2061
02:08:29,520 --> 02:08:33,119
let's be the booker, ladies or gentlemen, it is now

2062
02:08:33,319 --> 02:08:40,239
time to be the Booker. Here we go round number

2063
02:08:40,359 --> 02:08:46,520
one of three. Come in your way. We give books

2064
02:08:46,560 --> 02:08:49,159
some incredible matches over the past week. Man, we've been

2065
02:08:49,159 --> 02:08:51,960
on a roll. I want to see this continue into

2066
02:08:52,039 --> 02:08:55,319
Raw on Monday night. We got more matches to book.

2067
02:08:58,199 --> 02:09:01,600
Our promotion is starting to boom. Business is starting to

2068
02:09:01,640 --> 02:09:04,920
pick up. We're selling more tickets than we were selling

2069
02:09:04,920 --> 02:09:08,560
a year ago. Business is up year over year. Here

2070
02:09:08,600 --> 02:09:11,680
in the be the Booker Federation. All right, we have

2071
02:09:11,840 --> 02:09:18,840
the Holly cousins kicking us off Hardcore and Crash the

2072
02:09:18,920 --> 02:09:26,960
super heavyweights. I enjoyed that act, and we stepping into

2073
02:09:26,960 --> 02:09:29,279
the ring home like. This is a cursed image right here,

2074
02:09:29,279 --> 02:09:31,640
That's what this is. I will give it the bell, though.

2075
02:09:32,560 --> 02:09:34,359
I will give this the bell because I do think

2076
02:09:34,359 --> 02:09:35,720
that this would be one hell of a match. You

2077
02:09:35,800 --> 02:09:39,319
got Bob Holly in there with Crash against Brett Hart

2078
02:09:40,319 --> 02:09:44,680
and Bill Goldberg, who were in fact, at one time

2079
02:09:44,920 --> 02:09:51,800
WCW Tag Team champions. This is this is Brett and

2080
02:09:51,840 --> 02:10:01,079
Goldberg in happier times. Brett is he's seieving right now

2081
02:10:01,119 --> 02:10:06,560
as he sees this image. This is the before photo,

2082
02:10:07,359 --> 02:10:12,880
not the after photo. Yes, yes, the good old days.

2083
02:10:14,560 --> 02:10:19,319
What a cursed image. That is, we have Roxanne Perez.

2084
02:10:22,640 --> 02:10:28,680
I'm a Roxanne Perez fan. She is going to be

2085
02:10:28,680 --> 02:10:36,279
stepping into the ring with Stephanie Vicaire, except she's not

2086
02:10:39,520 --> 02:10:43,399
because Stephanie Vicaire is not clear to wrestle because she

2087
02:10:43,439 --> 02:10:46,680
doesn't have her visa paperwork in order, so therefore she

2088
02:10:46,760 --> 02:10:54,279
has to be replaced in this match. We must replace her.

2089
02:10:54,399 --> 02:10:57,439
She is legally not allowed to wrestle and be the booker.

2090
02:10:57,479 --> 02:10:59,520
I tried everything I could, but the government works at

2091
02:10:59,520 --> 02:11:02,920
a snail's there's nothing I can do, too much bureaucratic

2092
02:11:02,960 --> 02:11:10,640
red tape. So instead, Roxane Perez will have to find

2093
02:11:10,680 --> 02:11:20,920
a new opponent and it will be Rhea Ripley. Except

2094
02:11:20,960 --> 02:11:28,720
it won't because Rhea Ripley is currently out injured and

2095
02:11:28,760 --> 02:11:32,840
therefore can't wrestle. So we have to find another opponent

2096
02:11:33,199 --> 02:11:42,119
for Roxane Perez. This is not going well. Please, let's

2097
02:11:42,119 --> 02:11:46,640
get an opponent for rox Enne. There we go, Well,

2098
02:11:46,720 --> 02:11:49,359
we have Alexa Bliss. That would not be a bad match,

2099
02:11:51,119 --> 02:11:56,119
except we're ever going to see it because Alexa Bliss

2100
02:11:56,479 --> 02:12:00,439
was taken out tonight by Jade Cargill and her arm

2101
02:12:00,640 --> 02:12:05,920
was out of the socket, so she is unable to compete.

2102
02:12:06,079 --> 02:12:11,079
This is not going well for Roxanne Perez. Can we

2103
02:12:11,159 --> 02:12:14,840
please get her an opponent that is legally able to

2104
02:12:14,920 --> 02:12:27,359
wrestle and medically cleared, please, for the love of God. Finally, unfortunately,

2105
02:12:28,640 --> 02:12:32,359
that's not a match that really appeals to me. But

2106
02:12:32,439 --> 02:12:36,000
we did land on Ivy Nile. But I have to

2107
02:12:36,000 --> 02:12:41,560
give that a buzzer. I'm sorry. And now, finally, eighty

2108
02:12:41,560 --> 02:12:46,119
four years later, we get to the main event. This

2109
02:12:46,199 --> 02:12:48,000
is only card number one. By the way, we got

2110
02:12:48,039 --> 02:12:56,560
two more of these the book. There we go. We

2111
02:12:56,640 --> 02:13:01,720
have the former. This feels like a lifetime ago, doesn't it,

2112
02:13:01,720 --> 02:13:07,920
The former WWE champion, Kofi Kingston, who was not even

2113
02:13:07,960 --> 02:13:11,640
in ww A anymore. But Kofe Kingston is back in

2114
02:13:11,680 --> 02:13:23,600
the main event here defending that WWE Championship against the TNA.

2115
02:13:24,720 --> 02:13:26,720
Now that's not the international title, but he is the

2116
02:13:26,760 --> 02:13:31,760
reigning I do believe TNA International Champion still Mustafa Ali.

2117
02:13:31,960 --> 02:13:36,119
And you know what, that, my friends, is actually a

2118
02:13:36,199 --> 02:13:41,039
hell of a wrestling match. I'll accept that we don't

2119
02:13:41,039 --> 02:13:45,239
get the sweep, but I accept that as my main event.

2120
02:13:50,359 --> 02:13:52,640
There you go, two out of three. We didn't get

2121
02:13:52,680 --> 02:13:54,359
the women's match, but we got two out of three

2122
02:13:55,359 --> 02:14:00,439
not too shabby. All right, Now we move on to

2123
02:14:01,319 --> 02:14:05,319
around number two. We have one more to go after this,

2124
02:14:06,479 --> 02:14:08,640
unless somehow we hit that other goal. But I just

2125
02:14:08,760 --> 02:14:10,520
I put that up for shits and giggles. But here

2126
02:14:10,560 --> 02:14:15,239
we go. Stipulations. We have stipulations for all of our

2127
02:14:15,319 --> 02:14:24,439
remaining matches. Hell in a Cell. I gotta get the

2128
02:14:24,479 --> 02:14:34,920
voice right for it, hell in a Cell. And after

2129
02:14:34,960 --> 02:14:38,319
brock Olesner kicks Obafemi in the balls again, it would

2130
02:14:38,359 --> 02:14:46,159
be how it is sound so Oba has been sounding

2131
02:14:46,199 --> 02:14:49,960
over the past week. So usually I would start with

2132
02:14:50,039 --> 02:14:52,720
a tag team match here, tag team Helen a Cell?

2133
02:14:52,800 --> 02:14:56,760
Mash that. What do you think you could do it? Yeah,

2134
02:14:56,960 --> 02:14:59,199
we could do that. We'll do tag team Helen a Cell?

2135
02:14:59,399 --> 02:15:03,520
Why not tag team Helena Sel? Why not? I make

2136
02:15:03,600 --> 02:15:05,600
the rules. I can book any damn match. I will

2137
02:15:05,640 --> 02:15:12,600
please the North Ethan Page and Josh Alexander, the former

2138
02:15:12,640 --> 02:15:16,840
Impact Tag Team Champions, a very good team who I

2139
02:15:16,840 --> 02:15:19,079
think would have done very well if they ever got

2140
02:15:19,159 --> 02:15:25,920
an NXT run back in the day. Helena Sell, the

2141
02:15:26,039 --> 02:15:38,520
North taking on Red Dragon, Bobby Fish and Kyle O'Reilly.

2142
02:15:40,239 --> 02:15:42,640
How's that for a match? The North and Red Dragon.

2143
02:15:47,600 --> 02:15:51,760
That'd be a very good match. Where's the lie? There

2144
02:15:51,800 --> 02:15:53,479
is no lie. That would be a very good match.

2145
02:15:58,520 --> 02:16:03,319
Now we're gonna pay. Uh yeah, we have landed on

2146
02:16:03,680 --> 02:16:11,199
Mountain de pitch black match. We're going to glow in

2147
02:16:11,239 --> 02:16:15,279
the dark for this one. It is a women's match.

2148
02:16:16,199 --> 02:16:20,399
It is a Mountain Dew pitch black match, and it

2149
02:16:20,439 --> 02:16:26,239
will feature Becky two belts. Becky Lynch, who doesn't even

2150
02:16:26,279 --> 02:16:34,879
have a match at SummerSlam this year. Becky Lynch in

2151
02:16:34,959 --> 02:16:46,280
the dark against who, Becky Lynch against Mighty Molly. I'll

2152
02:16:46,319 --> 02:16:53,239
take some Molly. That's a fine choice. Not a fan

2153
02:16:53,280 --> 02:16:55,559
of the stipulation, but you know what, I'm willing to

2154
02:16:55,600 --> 02:16:58,239
overlook it in this case because I feel like I

2155
02:16:58,280 --> 02:17:00,319
feel like they would find a way to make it work.

2156
02:17:05,200 --> 02:17:10,760
Why was Becky on the Summer Slam poster. I don't know.

2157
02:17:11,280 --> 02:17:14,639
I don't make the poster. I can't tell you. Plans

2158
02:17:14,799 --> 02:17:27,159
change as they say. And now our main event, our

2159
02:17:27,280 --> 02:17:33,520
second of three main events in fact, is going to

2160
02:17:33,559 --> 02:17:38,120
be a hair match, so we can't land on any

2161
02:17:38,239 --> 02:17:42,760
bald men. Otherwise this stipulation doesn't really work, and there

2162
02:17:42,799 --> 02:17:45,639
are a lot of bald men in be the bookers.

2163
02:17:45,680 --> 02:17:52,200
So I don't know about this we're starting out with,

2164
02:17:52,440 --> 02:17:56,479
of course, a bald man. Fucking course, I knew it.

2165
02:17:56,799 --> 02:17:58,879
I fucking knew it as soon as I landed on

2166
02:17:58,920 --> 02:18:05,879
the stipulation. Mhm. So we're gonna pick a different stipulation

2167
02:18:05,959 --> 02:18:10,559
because this ain't gonna work. Wipe it clean, try again,

2168
02:18:13,079 --> 02:18:19,920
Inferno match. Good, that's better, more dangerous, but that's better.

2169
02:18:20,520 --> 02:18:28,479
We'll start over. There we go, Here we go. We

2170
02:18:28,639 --> 02:18:33,879
have Booker T. It was definitely not bald. In fact,

2171
02:18:33,920 --> 02:18:35,760
he's gonna have to be careful. He's got he's got

2172
02:18:35,959 --> 02:18:37,920
longer hair, so he's gonna have to tie it back

2173
02:18:38,000 --> 02:18:39,879
or something. I don't want it to get caught in

2174
02:18:39,920 --> 02:18:50,000
any of the flames. Booker T in an Inferno match

2175
02:18:50,959 --> 02:19:05,639
against the American Nightmare Cody Rhodes. There you go. Did

2176
02:19:05,639 --> 02:19:08,799
Booker T ever wrestle Cody Rhoads. I don't think so.

2177
02:19:08,840 --> 02:19:14,959
I don't think that's a match that ever actually happened. Hey,

2178
02:19:15,000 --> 02:19:21,319
shout out to Chris near Fall Podcast. Six months of membership,

2179
02:19:21,399 --> 02:19:25,360
six months in this fine establishment, my good sir, love

2180
02:19:25,440 --> 02:19:27,879
the sound Off, love TNT. Shout out to the SoundOff

2181
02:19:27,920 --> 02:19:34,520
crew and the OTS family as well. Yes, thank you, Chris,

2182
02:19:35,079 --> 02:19:40,680
super Pony says this fucking Cody guy won't go away.

2183
02:19:40,920 --> 02:19:45,360
You can't get rid of him. Set Cody on fire boy.

2184
02:19:45,399 --> 02:19:49,559
You guys are just you guys are really extreme. Tonight,

2185
02:19:51,159 --> 02:19:56,159
all right, we got one more round. This is it.

2186
02:19:56,159 --> 02:20:02,520
It all comes down to the final three. Here we go,

2187
02:20:03,840 --> 02:20:07,719
brawl for all. We're skipping the tag team match this time.

2188
02:20:07,719 --> 02:20:13,000
These stipulations lend themselves better to singles matches, So I

2189
02:20:13,040 --> 02:20:15,799
think we're gonna go. We'll book, we'll book, and we'll

2190
02:20:15,799 --> 02:20:18,440
book a few men's matches, but we'll do the men's match.

2191
02:20:19,040 --> 02:20:22,680
It's going to be a brawl for all, which was

2192
02:20:22,719 --> 02:20:26,879
a terrible concept from the mind of one Vince Russo.

2193
02:20:29,159 --> 02:20:33,680
So here we go. Oh this is I feel I

2194
02:20:33,719 --> 02:20:36,200
feel badly for whoever the opponent is, because this match

2195
02:20:36,239 --> 02:20:40,719
is already over. We have Al Boom Boom Bundy, Al

2196
02:20:40,879 --> 02:20:43,159
Bundy in a brawl for all. Man. I know who

2197
02:20:43,159 --> 02:20:45,479
I'm picking is a winner. I know who's going all

2198
02:20:45,520 --> 02:20:48,760
the way to the end of this thing. Look, he's

2199
02:20:48,760 --> 02:20:51,399
already got the fists up in the image. He's ready

2200
02:20:51,399 --> 02:20:53,760
for a fight. You want to fight this man? You

2201
02:20:53,879 --> 02:20:55,559
really want to step in there against this guy? I

2202
02:20:55,559 --> 02:21:01,440
don't think you do. Al fucking Bundy all match. Does

2203
02:21:01,440 --> 02:21:02,879
it get any more perfect than that?

2204
02:21:07,360 --> 02:21:30,440
Speaker 3: Albund Oh my god? Oh he's dead.

2205
02:21:32,520 --> 02:21:42,840
Speaker 1: Oh he's dead. Oh, oh my god. I have to

2206
02:21:42,879 --> 02:21:49,920
compose myself. Adam Cole is going to fight Al Bundy.

2207
02:21:51,559 --> 02:21:56,840
Adam Cole is going to die against Al Bundy in

2208
02:21:56,959 --> 02:21:59,680
a brawl for all mat. I forgot to hit the

2209
02:21:59,680 --> 02:22:10,000
bell on this. I was out of my mind. Ah,

2210
02:22:10,200 --> 02:22:15,639
you talk about a mismatch, You talk about a mismatch.

2211
02:22:19,120 --> 02:22:20,920
Poor Adam call He's gonna be right back on the

2212
02:22:20,920 --> 02:22:33,239
injured list. I love it. I love it. Now tell

2213
02:22:33,280 --> 02:22:37,879
me you wouldn't pay money, decent money. I'll pay TKO

2214
02:22:38,000 --> 02:22:40,799
ticket prices to be there live to see that match.

2215
02:22:48,600 --> 02:22:51,639
Our next match? What is our next match going to be?

2216
02:22:53,520 --> 02:22:55,760
Our next match? Why is this not working? Why is

2217
02:22:55,799 --> 02:22:59,680
this not working? I think when I leaned over, I

2218
02:22:59,719 --> 02:23:05,440
think I think I jammed the button. Oh there we go,

2219
02:23:05,680 --> 02:23:09,360
hardcore match. We have a hardcore match. I did actually

2220
02:23:09,479 --> 02:23:14,440
lean on the button when I lead nough. Ah. I

2221
02:23:14,479 --> 02:23:16,959
don't think anything is going to top what we just booked,

2222
02:23:18,399 --> 02:23:24,280
but we're gonna try. How about this one we make?

2223
02:23:24,319 --> 02:23:26,879
We make the women's match, the hardcore match. It's to

2224
02:23:26,959 --> 02:23:28,959
be different and then we'll go back to the guys.

2225
02:23:29,879 --> 02:23:36,879
We have a women's hardcore match. Ooh, we have Zaria.

2226
02:23:37,520 --> 02:23:39,440
See that's the face of someone who's gonna be in

2227
02:23:39,440 --> 02:23:41,920
a hardcore match. Got that mean look on her face

2228
02:23:41,959 --> 02:23:46,040
with the makeup and everything. Zaria. Well, I think this

2229
02:23:46,120 --> 02:23:50,920
is back from her Delta days. Zaria though in a

2230
02:23:51,000 --> 02:24:01,040
hardcore match against Look at this. This is uh this,

2231
02:24:01,040 --> 02:24:04,879
this is Natty knighthearts here. That's who this is, got

2232
02:24:04,879 --> 02:24:09,120
the mouth guard and everything. Those are two faces right there,

2233
02:24:09,200 --> 02:24:13,040
these images that are perfect for a hardcore match. This

2234
02:24:13,120 --> 02:24:15,639
is this is blood Sport Natty. We got blood Sport

2235
02:24:15,719 --> 02:24:24,319
Natty and Zaria in a hardcore match. Hey, we're doing

2236
02:24:24,319 --> 02:24:26,799
pretty good so far. We got one, We got one

2237
02:24:26,879 --> 02:24:29,600
last match to go. I'm kind of sad that we're

2238
02:24:29,639 --> 02:24:36,719
at the end here. We need a sweep. We need

2239
02:24:36,760 --> 02:24:45,040
a sweep. Oh no, why why? Why? Why you do

2240
02:24:45,159 --> 02:24:50,079
like landing on the stipulation? Why are you torturing me?

2241
02:24:51,680 --> 02:24:55,120
Punjabi prison is back? You know why? Because I was

2242
02:24:55,159 --> 02:24:58,399
just talking about it before. That's why. Because somebody had

2243
02:24:58,399 --> 02:24:59,959
to shoot their mouth off and one of the super

2244
02:25:00,120 --> 02:25:05,120
chats and I brought it up. I can pun Jabi

2245
02:25:05,159 --> 02:25:07,360
prison in the same week, by the way, where the

2246
02:25:07,360 --> 02:25:10,399
Great Collie was a guest on Chris Van Vliet's podcast.

2247
02:25:12,280 --> 02:25:15,760
It's only appropriate that we have a Punjabi prison match.

2248
02:25:19,120 --> 02:25:21,280
You god, it funny if we got Al Bundy against

2249
02:25:21,280 --> 02:25:29,120
Adam coleopis oh as if Adam Cole was not in

2250
02:25:29,200 --> 02:25:32,239
for it bad enough in bral for all, we'll put

2251
02:25:32,319 --> 02:25:38,000
him in the Punjabi prison against Al Bundy. All right,

2252
02:25:38,079 --> 02:25:41,680
we have Oh my god, this is not that much

2253
02:25:41,719 --> 02:25:49,399
better Ken Shamrock. Ken Shamrock can a Punjabi prison match.

2254
02:25:50,639 --> 02:25:52,559
I kind of feel the same way I did about

2255
02:25:52,600 --> 02:25:54,840
Al's opponent, where I don't want to be the other person.

2256
02:25:58,680 --> 02:26:04,239
Ken Shamrock is going to wrestle Ken Shamrock did Punjabi

2257
02:26:04,280 --> 02:26:11,520
prison You heard me correctly, Ken Shamrock against Ken Shamrock.

2258
02:26:12,040 --> 02:26:18,319
If that is not the most batshit, intense, crazy Punjabi

2259
02:26:18,360 --> 02:26:22,600
prison match that we have ever seen. What happens? Now,

2260
02:26:22,600 --> 02:26:26,440
here's my question here. If you remember Ken Shamrock when

2261
02:26:26,520 --> 02:26:30,559
he would get in the zone right usually in his matches,

2262
02:26:30,600 --> 02:26:33,600
like when he got in the zone, he got all crazy. Now,

2263
02:26:33,639 --> 02:26:36,239
what happens when you have Shamrock and Shamrock and they

2264
02:26:36,239 --> 02:26:40,440
both get in the zone. What happens then? I feel

2265
02:26:40,479 --> 02:26:46,879
like bad things are going to happen. Clean sweet, We

2266
02:26:47,040 --> 02:26:53,760
got a clean sweet. That's all that matters. That's all

2267
02:26:53,799 --> 02:27:02,360
that matters. He said that AutoZone, Alexandra get in the zone.

2268
02:27:02,719 --> 02:27:09,680
Auto Zone. Well this was certainly this was quite the

2269
02:27:10,200 --> 02:27:13,280
edition of be the books. Now. Aren't you happy that

2270
02:27:13,319 --> 02:27:15,040
we hit the goals and we were able to do that.

2271
02:27:16,159 --> 02:27:18,399
You will forever remember where you were on the night

2272
02:27:18,440 --> 02:27:23,239
that we landed on Al Bundy and Adam Cole in

2273
02:27:23,319 --> 02:27:27,440
a brawl for all match and Ken Shamrock wrestled himself

2274
02:27:28,559 --> 02:27:36,360
inside the Punjabi prison. Don't ever forget this night as

2275
02:27:36,399 --> 02:27:44,000
long as you live. We still got a bunch of

2276
02:27:44,040 --> 02:27:46,840
super chats here to get through. So let's get through,

2277
02:27:46,879 --> 02:27:54,559
and we have Bulu Fantulu Bulu. I don't know who

2278
02:27:54,559 --> 02:27:56,719
these people are, but I'm going to go with John Booger.

2279
02:28:00,120 --> 02:28:03,559
Joseph is back, Joseph saw Bulu. Man. If we can

2280
02:28:03,559 --> 02:28:05,760
get Joseph and Bulu in the same place together, how

2281
02:28:05,760 --> 02:28:09,920
amazing would that be? Batman Jurassic is his handle. We

2282
02:28:09,959 --> 02:28:12,200
know he's a big Batman guy. I'm back, solid monster

2283
02:28:12,559 --> 02:28:16,120
with breaking news. The Dark Order has re signed with AW.

2284
02:28:18,159 --> 02:28:20,000
Seems like we're getting a lot of breaking news on

2285
02:28:20,040 --> 02:28:22,920
AW today. You got a Hangman on Collision tomorrow. Now

2286
02:28:22,959 --> 02:28:29,639
the Dark Order have re signed. Do you remember when

2287
02:28:29,760 --> 02:28:33,920
Dustin Rhodes was Black Rain in TNA. I do, and

2288
02:28:33,959 --> 02:28:41,000
it sucked. It was terrible and he was not in

2289
02:28:41,040 --> 02:28:46,719
a good state physically or otherwise. Do you remember the

2290
02:28:46,719 --> 02:28:52,200
TV show Blossom? I do. I do. In fact, they

2291
02:28:52,239 --> 02:28:56,000
had a crossover with the with the stell Getty's Sophia

2292
02:28:56,079 --> 02:29:01,559
Petrillo character from from The Golden Girl? Was it Blostom?

2293
02:29:01,559 --> 02:29:05,040
Maybe I'm thinking of Empty Nest. I take that back.

2294
02:29:05,079 --> 02:29:06,559
I think I was. I think I got my shows

2295
02:29:06,559 --> 02:29:11,559
mixed up. I don't remember now, but the Sophia Petrillo

2296
02:29:11,719 --> 02:29:17,319
character definitely was on one of those two shows. And

2297
02:29:17,600 --> 02:29:23,639
watching Space Jam with Michael Jordan, he's talking about v

2298
02:29:23,719 --> 02:29:28,159
Michael Jordan, He's not talking about Michael B. Jordan. Thank you.

2299
02:29:28,479 --> 02:29:32,079
Joseph retro Koh says Stephanie Viquier can't be in due

2300
02:29:32,120 --> 02:29:35,120
to visas, but Crash Holly can be resurrected for a

2301
02:29:35,159 --> 02:29:39,079
tag team match. Peak booking. Yes, that's how we do things.

2302
02:29:40,639 --> 02:29:44,799
That's how we do things. Joseph says, could you see

2303
02:29:44,840 --> 02:29:47,319
them doing a space Jam movie with Hulk Hogan or

2304
02:29:47,399 --> 02:29:52,159
Stone Cold Steve Austin back in the day. Well, if

2305
02:29:52,200 --> 02:29:54,520
they did, I think that would be a terrible business

2306
02:29:54,559 --> 02:30:00,200
decision because it would not have made any money. Have

2307
02:30:00,239 --> 02:30:03,959
a good night, Solo Monster, have a great weekend, you too, Joseph.

2308
02:30:04,000 --> 02:30:10,200
Space Jam with Hulk Hogan. I don't think that would

2309
02:30:10,200 --> 02:30:17,360
have worked. Hey, Chicago for MBK, have yourself a good night, brother,

2310
02:30:20,639 --> 02:30:23,760
Oh Joseph. He amended his question from earlier. He said,

2311
02:30:25,000 --> 02:30:30,319
I met Raven against Brian Pillman SR. I don't believe

2312
02:30:30,360 --> 02:30:33,000
they would have wrestled, unless it was back when Raven

2313
02:30:33,159 --> 02:30:36,639
was Scotty Flamingo in WCW. I have no recollection of

2314
02:30:36,639 --> 02:30:38,600
them having a match. I can't say it never happened,

2315
02:30:38,600 --> 02:30:47,520
but I don't believe so venom ktetsu add Brian Zane

2316
02:30:47,719 --> 02:30:52,600
to be the booker. If he greases the palms a

2317
02:30:52,600 --> 02:30:55,959
little bit, I might add him in there. And Joseph says,

2318
02:30:55,959 --> 02:30:59,399
Hangman returns tomorrow night on Collision. Yes, thank you, Joseph.

2319
02:31:00,280 --> 02:31:07,600
I did mention that earlier. Hey, Navy, maybe forty one

2320
02:31:07,719 --> 02:31:13,799
eighty one, not two fifty. Count Rugan the hell does

2321
02:31:13,840 --> 02:31:22,479
that mean? Thank you Navy. I'm totally out to lunch now.

2322
02:31:28,600 --> 02:31:32,760
Claymation is an underrated animation style. I missed that. I

2323
02:31:32,879 --> 02:31:38,159
like claymation. The whole sequence with ED two nine in

2324
02:31:38,200 --> 02:31:42,440
the original RoboCop movie was I'm pretty sure that was claymation,

2325
02:31:43,559 --> 02:31:47,959
and I'm sorry. I still think it holds up pretty

2326
02:31:47,959 --> 02:31:51,840
well today. I won't say it's great, but like I

2327
02:31:51,920 --> 02:31:54,040
enjoyed it. I like it. It didn't take me out

2328
02:31:54,040 --> 02:32:01,440
of the movie or anything like that. Uh, super Pony,

2329
02:32:03,840 --> 02:32:07,639
I paid fifty two streams in a row for Putnjapi prison.

2330
02:32:07,879 --> 02:32:15,639
I'm cursed. We could blame super Pony. See if you

2331
02:32:15,680 --> 02:32:23,360
paid one hundred now, it would have gone the other way.

2332
02:32:23,600 --> 02:32:26,639
Cam stl with a five is the Albundi Adam Cole

2333
02:32:26,719 --> 02:32:28,719
Brawl for All match, the greatest match and be the

2334
02:32:28,719 --> 02:32:33,159
Booker history. It's if it's not, it's it's pretty high

2335
02:32:33,239 --> 02:32:35,360
up there. I gotta say, oh, stop motion, what did

2336
02:32:35,360 --> 02:32:39,760
I say? I said claim I say claimation. I got

2337
02:32:39,760 --> 02:32:43,239
claimation mixed up with stop motion. Stop motion animation is

2338
02:32:43,280 --> 02:32:45,600
what I was referring to. Stop motion animation was using

2339
02:32:45,639 --> 02:32:47,200
that movie and a lot of other ones as well,

2340
02:32:47,799 --> 02:32:51,799
and I like stop stop motion animation, but I like

2341
02:32:51,879 --> 02:32:58,079
claymation too. But anyway, so is it the greatest match

2342
02:32:58,120 --> 02:33:00,680
and be the booker history? Hard for me to say

2343
02:33:00,680 --> 02:33:04,840
it's the greatest, but it's pretty high up there. I

2344
02:33:04,840 --> 02:33:06,760
don't know that I've laughed harder at one than I

2345
02:33:06,799 --> 02:33:09,040
did that one, so it might well be the best one.

2346
02:33:11,079 --> 02:33:13,959
And Alexander says, do you have Dan Severn in be

2347
02:33:14,079 --> 02:33:19,479
the booker? I do not. I do not. I'm pretty

2348
02:33:19,520 --> 02:33:22,079
sure the reason he wrestled in WWF with a T

2349
02:33:22,239 --> 02:33:24,840
shirt is because Vince McMahon wanted him to wear a shirt.

2350
02:33:26,319 --> 02:33:29,239
So I just realized whenever I remember him wrestling there,

2351
02:33:29,280 --> 02:33:32,520
he always had a shirt on. I always just found

2352
02:33:32,559 --> 02:33:36,520
that strange. I'm pretty sure Vince told him to put

2353
02:33:36,559 --> 02:33:40,520
the shirt on. Should I add him in? What do

2354
02:33:40,559 --> 02:33:42,680
you think I don't have? There are some people I

2355
02:33:42,760 --> 02:33:46,200
leave out and there are other people. Maybe I forget

2356
02:33:46,239 --> 02:33:49,879
certain people. I could always add him in there, but

2357
02:33:49,959 --> 02:33:52,600
now Dan dan Severn is not in there, Tank Abbott

2358
02:33:52,639 --> 02:33:58,200
is not in there. I'm in there, though, as we

2359
02:33:58,239 --> 02:34:04,719
found out the other night, that's all that matters. Thank

2360
02:34:04,760 --> 02:34:08,319
you guys for a very fun stream here tonight. Can't

2361
02:34:08,319 --> 02:34:10,559
oh this, can't believe we've been two hours and forty

2362
02:34:10,559 --> 02:34:15,479
five minutes. My god. See that's how you know you're

2363
02:34:15,520 --> 02:34:20,959
having fun when you go almost three hours. SmackDown may

2364
02:34:21,040 --> 02:34:23,680
not be three hours anymore, but now I've taken the

2365
02:34:23,719 --> 02:34:25,799
mantle of being three hours. But you have to admit

2366
02:34:26,760 --> 02:34:28,840
three hours of solo Monster is a hell of a

2367
02:34:28,840 --> 02:34:31,639
lot more entertaining than three hours of SmackDown. I think

2368
02:34:31,680 --> 02:34:35,120
we can all agree. And one last super chat here

2369
02:34:35,120 --> 02:34:38,600
from Power Spying Games by Rent cell be the Booker

2370
02:34:38,680 --> 02:34:43,120
matches Bundy versus Cole, Hunter and McCall versus Hall and

2371
02:34:43,200 --> 02:34:49,319
Oates Heal Brett agains JD from New York. That was

2372
02:34:49,360 --> 02:34:53,719
a pretty good one. That was a pretty good one.

2373
02:34:53,319 --> 02:34:59,319
I think I might go with Bundy and Cole. I

2374
02:34:59,319 --> 02:35:05,120
think we may have peaked with Bundy and Cole. Let's

2375
02:35:05,159 --> 02:35:07,000
try it again on Monday. How about that? Bring the

2376
02:35:07,040 --> 02:35:09,399
heat on Monday and we'll do it all over again.

2377
02:35:09,639 --> 02:35:11,760
Next time you hear from me, though, will be Sunday,

2378
02:35:11,760 --> 02:35:13,760
brand new episode of the Sound of episode nine to

2379
02:35:13,879 --> 02:35:17,399
seventy one. And yes, I will be reviewing both episodes

2380
02:35:18,000 --> 02:35:22,159
of Dark Side of the Ring from this past Tuesday

2381
02:35:22,879 --> 02:35:25,319
and talking all the news of the week. I got

2382
02:35:25,319 --> 02:35:27,559
your mail, beg questions all queued up. It's gonna be

2383
02:35:27,600 --> 02:35:32,239
a good time. Misfit Wrestling podcast. Zaia Lee trying to

2384
02:35:32,239 --> 02:35:38,360
be booked on be the Booker was hilarious. What was

2385
02:35:38,399 --> 02:35:41,559
it that she kept popping up or something? We did

2386
02:35:41,639 --> 02:35:43,879
land on her the other day? But it wasn't as

2387
02:35:43,959 --> 02:35:47,760
Zaia Lee. It was as Lee ying Lee from TNA.

2388
02:35:48,799 --> 02:35:51,639
I think that was on Wednesday. I think she popped

2389
02:35:51,680 --> 02:35:56,520
up there on Wednesday, Misfit said. I'm talking about the

2390
02:35:56,600 --> 02:35:59,280
multiple times that she showed up in that one be

2391
02:35:59,360 --> 02:36:04,680
the book Oh okay, I was wondering. Yeah, well, I

2392
02:36:04,680 --> 02:36:06,680
mean for a period of time there, it was the

2393
02:36:06,719 --> 02:36:12,479
only way she was going to possibly get booked. It's weird, though,

2394
02:36:12,479 --> 02:36:14,319
Like I'm pretty sure Britt Baker is in to be

2395
02:36:14,399 --> 02:36:16,040
the booker and we don't even land on her here.

2396
02:36:16,040 --> 02:36:20,680
She can't even get booked and be the booker. It's terrible,

2397
02:36:24,920 --> 02:36:29,040
all right, Be well, stay safe. Check out the dark

2398
02:36:29,079 --> 02:36:31,360
Side reviews on the sound Off this weekend, and then

2399
02:36:31,399 --> 02:36:35,239
back here for the Raw Post show coming up on Monday,

2400
02:36:35,280 --> 02:36:38,680
where apparently Solo Sokoa is going to get an ultimatum

2401
02:36:39,399 --> 02:36:45,000
from the bloodline. Ooh, I'm sure he's shaking in his boots.

2402
02:36:45,799 --> 02:36:46,840
I'll see you Monday night.
