WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.320 --> 00:00:03.359 Well, we got one night down, one night to go. 2 00:00:04.679 --> 00:00:07.679 Night one is in the books, and my takeaway again 3 00:00:08.039 --> 00:00:10.800 as I just said, is that Summer Slam definitely does 4 00:00:10.800 --> 00:00:13.800 not need to be two nights. I would like to 5 00:00:14.039 --> 00:00:17.000 hope that we can all agree on this because it 6 00:00:17.079 --> 00:00:20.000 is very clear the only reason that SummerSlam is two 7 00:00:20.079 --> 00:00:22.440 nights at this point is so that they can fit 8 00:00:22.480 --> 00:00:26.440 in all the ads. There's no other reason. There really 9 00:00:26.480 --> 00:00:28.879 is no other reason there. It really hit me when 10 00:00:28.879 --> 00:00:30.760 it was over, like, you know what, you could have 11 00:00:30.760 --> 00:00:33.079 had one big mus saying it has to go five 12 00:00:33.119 --> 00:00:37.159 hours either, one big night of Summer Slam, that's all 13 00:00:37.159 --> 00:00:40.799 you need. But they want to sell as many tickets 14 00:00:40.799 --> 00:00:43.200 in one weekend as they possibly can, and so this 15 00:00:43.280 --> 00:00:47.200 is what we are left with. And Night one actually 16 00:00:47.560 --> 00:00:50.560 was the stronger of the two nights on paper coming 17 00:00:50.560 --> 00:00:53.799 into this weekend. I'm not sure what that says about 18 00:00:53.840 --> 00:01:01.119 how SummerSlam is going to end up, but we shall see. Championship. 19 00:01:02.039 --> 00:01:04.640 You would think coming into this show that that was 20 00:01:04.680 --> 00:01:06.120 going to be the main event of the show that 21 00:01:06.239 --> 00:01:09.120 was going to headline. I was very surprised when I 22 00:01:09.200 --> 00:01:12.319 read earlier that in fact, the Helen a Cell match 23 00:01:12.400 --> 00:01:15.760 was going to get top billing on this show. And 24 00:01:15.799 --> 00:01:17.959 it told me also that the likelihood of there being 25 00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:20.959 a Cody Rhodes heel turn was probably slim to none. 26 00:01:21.359 --> 00:01:23.799 If there was any real hope of anything like that happening. 27 00:01:24.680 --> 00:01:26.200 That's the sort of thing that if you're going to 28 00:01:26.280 --> 00:01:28.760 do it, you close the show with it. And so 29 00:01:28.840 --> 00:01:31.159 that kind of gave away to me, all right, maybe 30 00:01:31.200 --> 00:01:35.480 we shouldn't be expecting anything like that here tonight. And 31 00:01:35.519 --> 00:01:37.920 it became very clear in the main event why that 32 00:01:38.079 --> 00:01:40.560 WWE Championship match did not go on last. When I 33 00:01:40.599 --> 00:01:43.519 watched brock Lesner tearing up the ring Matt, he was 34 00:01:43.599 --> 00:01:48.120 ripping up the canvas, he was exposing the boards underneath. 35 00:01:48.959 --> 00:01:52.000 I said, oh, okay, now it makes sense why this 36 00:01:52.120 --> 00:01:55.480 match is going on last. So they headlined with Helen 37 00:01:55.519 --> 00:01:59.480 is Cell. This was a big endorsement for Obafemi. All right, 38 00:01:59.560 --> 00:02:02.120 let's let's get the good out of the way first. 39 00:02:02.280 --> 00:02:04.359 The fact that they put this match on the last, 40 00:02:04.480 --> 00:02:07.000 and you knew Oba was going over because this could 41 00:02:07.040 --> 00:02:10.639 end no other way. That was a big endorsement of Obafemi. 42 00:02:10.680 --> 00:02:13.919 We got an actual endorsement when it was over from Brocklesner, 43 00:02:13.919 --> 00:02:16.800 who hugged him, got on the mic who verbally put 44 00:02:16.879 --> 00:02:19.719 him over. He didn't even do that with Cody Rhodes 45 00:02:20.039 --> 00:02:23.479 three years ago after Cody beat him and then he 46 00:02:23.639 --> 00:02:25.960 raised Cody's arm. I don't remember bra getting on the 47 00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:29.199 mic and basically cutting a short promo and putting the 48 00:02:29.199 --> 00:02:32.879 guy over. So they did that for Oba. They left 49 00:02:32.879 --> 00:02:35.120 the ring to him. They closed the show Night one 50 00:02:35.159 --> 00:02:37.879 with him tonight. They've made it very clear up until 51 00:02:37.919 --> 00:02:40.039 this point that Oba they see him as the future. 52 00:02:40.960 --> 00:02:43.960 He got a win over Brocket WrestleMania, they made him 53 00:02:44.000 --> 00:02:46.560 king of the ring, and tonight he got to be 54 00:02:46.599 --> 00:02:50.599 the man to end the undefeated streak of Brocklesner inside 55 00:02:50.599 --> 00:02:56.840 Hell and hisself. So they're all in on Obafemi. But 56 00:02:56.879 --> 00:02:58.879 as I reflect back on what we got in the 57 00:02:58.919 --> 00:03:03.159 main event tonight, I was left very disappointed. Even though 58 00:03:03.159 --> 00:03:05.159 we got the right ending, we got the right outcome. 59 00:03:05.319 --> 00:03:07.800 All of that was exactly what it needed to be. 60 00:03:08.719 --> 00:03:11.360 They went out there, though, and had effectively the same 61 00:03:11.360 --> 00:03:16.639 match they had at WrestleMania and Clash in Italy. This 62 00:03:16.680 --> 00:03:18.520 one was a little bit longer than the last one. 63 00:03:18.560 --> 00:03:21.000 This one had a little bit of plunder. It had 64 00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:24.039 a giant cell surrounding the ring. But really, was this 65 00:03:24.120 --> 00:03:26.199 match all that different than the other matches these two 66 00:03:26.199 --> 00:03:30.599 men have had. It really wasn't. This was the blowoff, 67 00:03:30.639 --> 00:03:33.039 This was the payoff. This was the final time that 68 00:03:33.080 --> 00:03:34.759 we're likely ever going to see these two men in 69 00:03:34.759 --> 00:03:37.960 the ring together. They've been playing this feud out now 70 00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:41.360 since March and then when they announced the hell in 71 00:03:41.400 --> 00:03:44.680 a Cell stipulation, especially given that the last time we 72 00:03:44.719 --> 00:03:47.080 had a hell and a Cell match was that five 73 00:03:47.120 --> 00:03:50.719 star affair that CM punk and Drew McIntyre had. That 74 00:03:50.840 --> 00:03:54.400 was a violent, bloody match that really did live up 75 00:03:54.400 --> 00:03:57.599 to the stipulation that was two years ago. Excellent Helen 76 00:03:57.599 --> 00:03:59.879 is best Helen a Cell match that we've had in many, 77 00:04:00.159 --> 00:04:04.520 many years. When they announced Helena Cell, I wasn't really 78 00:04:04.560 --> 00:04:08.520 expecting it to live up to those expectations, But I said, men, 79 00:04:09.039 --> 00:04:11.520 I really hope that they at least give them more 80 00:04:11.599 --> 00:04:15.319 time and that they can give us something special and 81 00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:17.560 they can give us something memorable here, because if they're 82 00:04:17.600 --> 00:04:20.439 going with that stipulation, they must have something up their sleep, 83 00:04:20.800 --> 00:04:22.800 you know, they must have something planned here for it. 84 00:04:25.120 --> 00:04:27.600 The hell and of Cell was not needed. As we 85 00:04:27.600 --> 00:04:29.279 look back on what they did here tonight. This was 86 00:04:29.319 --> 00:04:33.279 a complete waste of the Helen of Celle stipulation. Cell 87 00:04:33.399 --> 00:04:36.480 never even came into play at any point during the match. 88 00:04:36.959 --> 00:04:41.240 It's very clear. The only reason that they actually even 89 00:04:41.399 --> 00:04:44.120 advertised the Helen of Cell match when this easily could 90 00:04:44.120 --> 00:04:47.040 have been by the way, like Last Man Standing, you 91 00:04:47.079 --> 00:04:49.879 could have done something out and we saw Brock many 92 00:04:49.959 --> 00:04:53.439 years ago here on this show have a quality last 93 00:04:53.439 --> 00:04:55.879 man Standing match with Roman Reigns. I would even argue 94 00:04:55.920 --> 00:04:57.360 it may have been the best match those two have 95 00:04:57.360 --> 00:05:02.199 ever had, and they've wrestled like fifty thous times. They 96 00:05:02.240 --> 00:05:04.759 got creative in that match. They did some pretty unique 97 00:05:04.759 --> 00:05:07.360 stuff in that match, and that's why that match is memorable. 98 00:05:07.839 --> 00:05:10.160 You could have done something like that. The cell was 99 00:05:10.160 --> 00:05:12.240 not needed. The only reason they did it is because 100 00:05:12.240 --> 00:05:15.439 they wanted Oba to be able to say I am 101 00:05:15.480 --> 00:05:19.680 the man who ended Brock Lesnar's undefeated streak inside Helen 102 00:05:19.759 --> 00:05:23.279 his cell. And when I say undefeated streak, I should 103 00:05:23.279 --> 00:05:25.319 put air quotes around it. Because the man had two 104 00:05:25.399 --> 00:05:28.480 matches in his entire fucking twenty five plus year career 105 00:05:28.519 --> 00:05:31.639 inside Helen is cell. I don't need I mean, does 106 00:05:31.639 --> 00:05:35.000 two matches really constitute a streak. I'm not really sure. 107 00:05:35.879 --> 00:05:39.000 It doesn't seem to me that it does. But that's 108 00:05:39.040 --> 00:05:41.519 why they did it. Why did they make oba Femi 109 00:05:41.600 --> 00:05:42.920 King of the Ring if they weren't going to live 110 00:05:43.000 --> 00:05:44.680 up to the stipulation that the winner of the King 111 00:05:44.680 --> 00:05:46.879 of the Ring gets to choose the champion that they 112 00:05:46.879 --> 00:05:49.600 want to challenge at summerslim because they didn't give a 113 00:05:49.600 --> 00:05:51.959 shit about that. They wanted him to have the title 114 00:05:52.800 --> 00:05:54.560 of King of the Ring. They want to be able 115 00:05:54.600 --> 00:05:57.920 to call him the King of the Ring. That's the 116 00:05:57.959 --> 00:05:59.600 only reason we got a Hell and a Cell match 117 00:05:59.600 --> 00:06:04.399 on this show. So it sucks because I had high 118 00:06:04.879 --> 00:06:08.360 hopes for what they could potentially do inside or outside 119 00:06:08.360 --> 00:06:11.279 the cell. Two big guys like that, You know, it 120 00:06:11.319 --> 00:06:13.720 wouldn't be difficult to imagine they would do a spot 121 00:06:13.720 --> 00:06:16.879 where they would kind of go barreling through the cage wall. 122 00:06:16.879 --> 00:06:19.560 They would end up outside and do some stuff outside. 123 00:06:20.600 --> 00:06:22.879 But you know, they kind of exhausted the announced desk 124 00:06:23.040 --> 00:06:25.560 spots in the previous match, and you got two guys here. 125 00:06:25.560 --> 00:06:27.560 They're not climbing into the tay. You see how tall 126 00:06:27.600 --> 00:06:31.000 that cell is, They're not climbing to the top of that. 127 00:06:32.120 --> 00:06:33.600 So this is what we were left with, and that 128 00:06:33.720 --> 00:06:35.959 was just very underwhelming. But you know what, even more 129 00:06:36.000 --> 00:06:40.240 than that, my biggest gripe with what they did here 130 00:06:40.279 --> 00:06:44.199 in that main event. Right when it felt like the 131 00:06:44.240 --> 00:06:48.079 match was about to kick into that next gear, he 132 00:06:48.160 --> 00:06:51.000 was about to elevate into that next gear, it was over, 133 00:06:52.759 --> 00:06:56.040 Brock exposes the boards underneath the ring, and now the 134 00:06:56.079 --> 00:06:58.120 fans are coming to their feet like, oh shit, what 135 00:06:58.480 --> 00:06:59.959 do they have planned here? What are they going to do? 136 00:07:01.160 --> 00:07:05.040 And people are getting excited, and sixty seconds later the 137 00:07:05.079 --> 00:07:08.439 match is over. Right when it was starting to get good, 138 00:07:09.040 --> 00:07:12.199 it ended, and it was just it was very it 139 00:07:12.240 --> 00:07:16.759 was very flat because I was expecting more and then 140 00:07:16.800 --> 00:07:19.279 it was over. So to me, that was my biggest 141 00:07:19.879 --> 00:07:23.920 disappointment here with what they did in this match, not 142 00:07:23.959 --> 00:07:26.680 even twelve minutes that main event, when they could not 143 00:07:26.720 --> 00:07:30.079 even squeeze fifteen minutes out of that main event. Now, 144 00:07:30.120 --> 00:07:33.720 the WWE Championship match went just shive half an hour, 145 00:07:34.800 --> 00:07:38.199 so that got plenty of time, but this one, unfortunately 146 00:07:38.240 --> 00:07:40.879 couldn't even get fifteen minutes. And I'm not even saying 147 00:07:40.879 --> 00:07:43.040 that this should have gone twenty minutes or anything like that, 148 00:07:43.079 --> 00:07:45.079 because look, you got two guys like this, Brock is 149 00:07:45.199 --> 00:07:47.399 very limited in what he's going to do. You know 150 00:07:47.480 --> 00:07:48.839 that Brock is not going to go in there and 151 00:07:48.879 --> 00:07:51.160 do anything too crazy, Right, He'll take bumps, but he's 152 00:07:51.199 --> 00:07:53.680 not going to take like big bumps, and he's not 153 00:07:53.720 --> 00:07:55.360 going to wrestle the way that he used to wrestle 154 00:07:55.399 --> 00:07:57.439 twenty years ago. It's going to be a lot of suplexes. 155 00:07:57.480 --> 00:07:58.800 It's going to be a lot of the same shit 156 00:07:58.839 --> 00:08:02.879 that you always see. Brock. Do Oba also is limited 157 00:08:02.879 --> 00:08:04.480 in what he can do because he's a big guy. 158 00:08:04.720 --> 00:08:06.120 You know what's he gonna do. He's gonna be in 159 00:08:06.160 --> 00:08:09.480 there doing technical matt wrestling. He's not, so it doesn't 160 00:08:09.480 --> 00:08:13.199 have to go absurdly long. But unfortunately, you know, when 161 00:08:13.199 --> 00:08:14.879 it was over, it was just like, man, there was 162 00:08:14.959 --> 00:08:17.160 more meat on the bone, especially if this is their 163 00:08:17.240 --> 00:08:20.920 last time working together. And I just wish we would 164 00:08:20.920 --> 00:08:22.800 have gotten more out of it because for a main event, 165 00:08:22.920 --> 00:08:25.839 it was over and I just felt very underwhelmed. It 166 00:08:25.920 --> 00:08:28.600 was just very disappointing to me. The outcome, though, was 167 00:08:28.639 --> 00:08:31.439 the correct outcome as far as that goes. I mean, 168 00:08:31.439 --> 00:08:34.080 they did exactly what they needed to do. Anything other 169 00:08:34.159 --> 00:08:36.360 than that would have been completely ridiculous. I don't give 170 00:08:36.399 --> 00:08:38.440 a shit where this show was. Oh it's Minnesota, who 171 00:08:38.519 --> 00:08:42.039 gives a fuck. The only outcome here that made sense 172 00:08:42.639 --> 00:08:46.360 to close out the feud was Oba Femi beating Brock Lesnar, because, 173 00:08:46.399 --> 00:08:48.799 as Brock himself said when the show was over, I'm 174 00:08:48.840 --> 00:08:52.960 the past, you're the future. He's not just the future, 175 00:08:53.000 --> 00:08:55.879 he's the hero and now. Right. He's getting pushed now 176 00:08:56.120 --> 00:08:58.960 in a big way. And if he isn't world champion 177 00:08:59.039 --> 00:09:01.799 by wrestlemanian year or at WrestleMania next year, he'll be 178 00:09:01.840 --> 00:09:05.159 champion before that. So he's the hero and now and 179 00:09:05.240 --> 00:09:08.000 Brock is the past. So he was right, you know 180 00:09:08.080 --> 00:09:10.679 when he said that, And you want to get over 181 00:09:10.720 --> 00:09:14.720 the future. Brock has nothing left to gain by, you know, 182 00:09:14.759 --> 00:09:17.080 winning a big match like this. It would serve no purpose. 183 00:09:18.240 --> 00:09:20.000 So they did what they had to do. As far 184 00:09:20.039 --> 00:09:22.039 as that goes. I don't know if this is it 185 00:09:22.120 --> 00:09:24.840 for Brock. There's been a lot of rumor and speculation 186 00:09:24.919 --> 00:09:27.000 that this could be his retirement. I don't think anybody 187 00:09:27.080 --> 00:09:29.279 is buying into any of that bullshit. After the stunt 188 00:09:29.320 --> 00:09:32.440 he pulled at WrestleMania this year, taking off the gloves, 189 00:09:32.519 --> 00:09:35.080 taking off the boots crying in the middle of the ring. 190 00:09:36.240 --> 00:09:38.159 And so even if you had come out tonight and 191 00:09:38.159 --> 00:09:41.840 said that I'm done, right, I'm officially done, would anybody 192 00:09:41.919 --> 00:09:45.559 even believe him? Probably not. Do I believe that Brockleisner 193 00:09:45.679 --> 00:09:49.720 is done? No? I don't. I don't. They'll be an 194 00:09:49.759 --> 00:09:52.200 offer for him to come back and do another WrestleMania 195 00:09:52.320 --> 00:09:54.480 or do some other big match, and he'll come back 196 00:09:55.320 --> 00:09:58.399 or make a cameo or whatever it may be. But 197 00:09:58.519 --> 00:10:00.399 if it was going to be the end, and for him, 198 00:10:00.440 --> 00:10:02.200 he went out exactly the way that you would hope 199 00:10:02.200 --> 00:10:05.519 he would. He went out putting over the future and 200 00:10:05.559 --> 00:10:07.120 doing the honors on the way out, and at the 201 00:10:07.159 --> 00:10:08.960 end of the day, that's really all you can ask for. 202 00:10:10.600 --> 00:10:13.480 We did have the WWE Championship on the line. It 203 00:10:13.679 --> 00:10:19.200 was Cody Rhodes challenging Cmpunk first time ever, first time 204 00:10:19.240 --> 00:10:23.919 ever since both these men returned to WWE. The one 205 00:10:24.000 --> 00:10:26.720 time they wrestled each other again, it was like eighteen 206 00:10:26.799 --> 00:10:30.120 years ago something like that. I mean, it may as well. 207 00:10:30.240 --> 00:10:31.879 It may as well have been their first time in 208 00:10:31.919 --> 00:10:34.519 the ring together. I mean, the two men you saw 209 00:10:34.559 --> 00:10:36.799 in the ring tonight not the same people that were 210 00:10:36.799 --> 00:10:38.960 in the Ring on Monday Night Raw. Okay back in 211 00:10:38.960 --> 00:10:41.759 two thousand and eight, so for all intents and purposes, 212 00:10:42.279 --> 00:10:46.279 first time ever match here. I was at one time 213 00:10:47.360 --> 00:10:50.360 very bullish on this being one of the WrestleMania Maine 214 00:10:50.360 --> 00:10:53.559 events this year, and I think it could have been, 215 00:10:53.720 --> 00:10:56.200 you know, had creative gone in a different direction, that 216 00:10:56.240 --> 00:10:57.960 could have been a wrestle Media made event this year. 217 00:10:58.519 --> 00:11:01.919 We got it on pretty short notice here for SummerSlam, 218 00:11:02.399 --> 00:11:04.240 and I think all you really needed to do to 219 00:11:04.320 --> 00:11:08.519 sell this match was to have one or two really 220 00:11:08.600 --> 00:11:11.559 good promos, right, because these are two good promo guy. Punk, 221 00:11:11.600 --> 00:11:15.000 Punk's a great promo guy. We never really got that. 222 00:11:16.159 --> 00:11:19.799 We had this kind of manufactured thing where Punk accidentally 223 00:11:19.879 --> 00:11:21.799 hit him in the face with the belt strap at 224 00:11:21.840 --> 00:11:24.240 Saturday Night's main event, and then this house showed the 225 00:11:24.279 --> 00:11:27.240 other day where Cody didn't know who it was and 226 00:11:27.279 --> 00:11:30.120 he gave this really phony looking back elbow, like, come on, 227 00:11:30.320 --> 00:11:32.879 you knew exactly who it was. That it all just 228 00:11:32.919 --> 00:11:36.080 felt very forced and very manufactured, and even the end 229 00:11:36.120 --> 00:11:38.200 ring promo worked between the two of them, it just 230 00:11:38.759 --> 00:11:43.159 it just fell very flat to me. So coming into 231 00:11:43.200 --> 00:11:46.759 the show, this match just didn't feel like as big 232 00:11:46.759 --> 00:11:50.399 of a deal as it should have, which is too 233 00:11:50.440 --> 00:11:53.519 bad because I still feel like, even now, I still 234 00:11:53.559 --> 00:11:56.320 feel like this could be a really big match at 235 00:11:56.360 --> 00:11:59.120 some point, but by that point, maybe better off if 236 00:11:59.159 --> 00:12:01.039 one of them is a heel and not both of 237 00:12:01.080 --> 00:12:03.519 them being babyfaces, because that also kind of hurts it 238 00:12:03.639 --> 00:12:06.480 a little bit. But we had the title match tonight, 239 00:12:06.519 --> 00:12:09.519 and we did get a big return at the end 240 00:12:09.519 --> 00:12:12.399 of that title match factor actually into the finish of 241 00:12:12.440 --> 00:12:15.480 the match, and that is Randy Orton. We have not 242 00:12:15.559 --> 00:12:18.240 seen Randy Orton since he punk kicked Cody Rhoads in 243 00:12:18.320 --> 00:12:22.799 the skull at the end of WrestleMania Night one and 244 00:12:22.840 --> 00:12:25.559 then he vanished. He went away, and there was a 245 00:12:25.559 --> 00:12:29.279 lot of speculation about him being injured. They've Meltzer reported 246 00:12:29.320 --> 00:12:32.840 that there was a back injury. Randy Orton chimed in. 247 00:12:33.039 --> 00:12:35.039 People took that to mean it was a denial. It 248 00:12:35.159 --> 00:12:37.399 was never a denial. I'm sure the man was hurt. 249 00:12:37.639 --> 00:12:39.639 Whether it was his back or not, who knows, but 250 00:12:39.759 --> 00:12:42.320 he was hurt. That's why he disappeared, and I hope 251 00:12:42.320 --> 00:12:45.120 he's healthy now. I hope he's healthy enough to stick 252 00:12:45.159 --> 00:12:48.559 around and not disappear again because him kicking Cody in 253 00:12:48.600 --> 00:12:50.840 the head and then vanishing really seemed to fuck up 254 00:12:51.600 --> 00:12:54.639 their creative plans whatever they were, as if TKO didn't 255 00:12:54.639 --> 00:12:57.559 fuck it up enough for WrestleMania. So now Randy Orton 256 00:12:57.639 --> 00:13:01.399 is back and he costs Cody Rhoads the Unbeknownst to 257 00:13:01.440 --> 00:13:03.840 CM Punk, who didn't see any of this, Cody gets 258 00:13:03.919 --> 00:13:07.480 dropped with an RKO and it leads directly into the finish. 259 00:13:08.000 --> 00:13:12.960 CM Punk is still the WWE champion, which I completely expected, 260 00:13:13.519 --> 00:13:16.000 and now we're looking at a Cody Roads Randy Orton feud, 261 00:13:16.240 --> 00:13:21.080 non title I have. I mean, there's so much I 262 00:13:21.120 --> 00:13:25.000 could say about this, going back to WrestleMania. You talk 263 00:13:25.039 --> 00:13:28.679 about feuds that I had been looking forward to because 264 00:13:28.720 --> 00:13:30.879 there was a lot of history there and it was 265 00:13:31.559 --> 00:13:35.120 just untapped. They had stayed away from it for so long, 266 00:13:35.240 --> 00:13:37.039 and that this was gonna be the year finally we're 267 00:13:37.039 --> 00:13:39.840 going to visit the whole Cody and Randy thing. And 268 00:13:39.919 --> 00:13:42.480 they had little like teases of it over the years 269 00:13:42.519 --> 00:13:46.519 and little backstage segments on the television show, but we're 270 00:13:46.519 --> 00:13:49.039 finally going to get it this year, and they fucked 271 00:13:49.039 --> 00:13:51.240 it up. And it takes a lot to fuck up 272 00:13:51.759 --> 00:13:54.759 a Cody Roads Randy Orton story, but they managed to 273 00:13:54.840 --> 00:13:56.879 do so, and yes, there was a very good reason 274 00:13:56.919 --> 00:13:58.840 why we can't put that all on Triple Ah and 275 00:13:58.879 --> 00:14:00.799 the creative team, but nonetheless, they fucked it up and 276 00:14:00.840 --> 00:14:02.399 when it was over, I didn't have any interest in 277 00:14:02.440 --> 00:14:05.519 seeing it again. So now all these months have gone by, 278 00:14:05.639 --> 00:14:08.879 Pat McAfee is but a distant memory, and now they're 279 00:14:08.919 --> 00:14:11.200 going to try it again. We're going to go back 280 00:14:11.240 --> 00:14:14.519 to the well once more with Cody and Randy, and 281 00:14:14.600 --> 00:14:17.600 I'll give it a shot, but my interest level ain't 282 00:14:17.639 --> 00:14:19.360 nowhere near what it was at the beginning of the 283 00:14:19.440 --> 00:14:22.519 year to see that match. I really hope they could 284 00:14:22.519 --> 00:14:26.840 put something together to heat things back up and get 285 00:14:26.919 --> 00:14:29.240 me excited and get me invested in this again, because 286 00:14:29.279 --> 00:14:31.639 they did a lot of damage with what they did 287 00:14:31.720 --> 00:14:35.320 going into WrestleMania this year. But that's the direction we're 288 00:14:35.320 --> 00:14:37.960 going in as far as those two, I don't know 289 00:14:38.320 --> 00:14:40.960 how long it'll be before we see Cody and Punk 290 00:14:41.039 --> 00:14:42.679 back in the ring together. But this was only the 291 00:14:42.759 --> 00:14:45.480 first match, and it ended up being a good match, 292 00:14:46.399 --> 00:14:49.679 but they clearly were holding back in certain in certain 293 00:14:49.759 --> 00:14:53.679 regards and leaving a lot more for the future. Maybe 294 00:14:53.720 --> 00:14:56.960 the future isn't until WrestleMania, you know, in Saudi next year, 295 00:14:57.759 --> 00:15:00.919 because right now Cody is going to be occupied Randy Orton, which, 296 00:15:01.000 --> 00:15:02.720 by the way, that opens up c I'm punk to, 297 00:15:03.840 --> 00:15:05.639 I say, feud with. But he can have a lot 298 00:15:05.679 --> 00:15:07.799 of little mini feuds. I mean, he can defend that 299 00:15:07.879 --> 00:15:11.360 championship against any number of people on SmackDown. Look at 300 00:15:11.360 --> 00:15:13.159 all the people he name dropped a few weeks ago, 301 00:15:15.080 --> 00:15:17.519 right not just Sammy's aying. He names dropped Damian Priest. 302 00:15:17.559 --> 00:15:20.360 He names dropped Trick Williams, and he might have mentioned 303 00:15:20.440 --> 00:15:22.440 Royce Keys, I don't really remember. But there's a whole 304 00:15:22.480 --> 00:15:25.000 bunch of people where he could sort of branch off 305 00:15:25.039 --> 00:15:26.960 and he can have a little mini feud with this 306 00:15:27.120 --> 00:15:29.200 person and he can wrestle that person and defend the 307 00:15:29.240 --> 00:15:31.799 title against this guy. And don't forget there's another big 308 00:15:31.919 --> 00:15:33.960 name that is rumored to be on their way back 309 00:15:34.200 --> 00:15:37.360 very very soon. I don't know if it'll be tomorrow. 310 00:15:37.480 --> 00:15:40.799 He is in Minneapolis because he had some signings, and 311 00:15:40.879 --> 00:15:44.039 that is Kevin Owens, and I'm dying to see a 312 00:15:44.120 --> 00:15:46.480 feud between Sea I'm punk and Kevin Owens. I don't 313 00:15:46.519 --> 00:15:48.240 know that I would go right into it is owens 314 00:15:48.320 --> 00:15:50.600 first feud and then he loses his first feud. I 315 00:15:50.600 --> 00:15:52.919 don't think he needs to jump right into it, but 316 00:15:53.039 --> 00:15:55.200 I would hope when he comes back, he's on SmackDown 317 00:15:55.879 --> 00:15:58.720 and they can build a punkin Owens. That's a feud 318 00:15:58.799 --> 00:16:01.759 that's a first time ever met that I am very 319 00:16:01.879 --> 00:16:06.559 much interested in seeing. So for Punk, he's got plenty 320 00:16:06.600 --> 00:16:08.240 of people that you could put pair him off with 321 00:16:08.679 --> 00:16:10.799 and then circle back around to Cody at some point, 322 00:16:10.919 --> 00:16:14.279 maybe early next year. But this was only match number 323 00:16:14.320 --> 00:16:16.960 one between them. I thought it was good. Speaking of good, 324 00:16:17.000 --> 00:16:19.120 we had a Women's World Championship match on this show 325 00:16:19.200 --> 00:16:23.840 between Live Morgan and EO Sky that they actually opened 326 00:16:23.879 --> 00:16:26.399 with that I thought was very good. No title change 327 00:16:26.480 --> 00:16:29.879 is on the show tonight. WWE Championship did not change. 328 00:16:29.919 --> 00:16:33.240 Women's World Championship did not change. We also had the 329 00:16:33.279 --> 00:16:36.720 debut of Nick Aldis in ring. All this is. I said, 330 00:16:36.720 --> 00:16:38.679 it's weird saying the debut of Nick Alldis. All this 331 00:16:38.799 --> 00:16:41.120 has been on the roster is the GM for three 332 00:16:41.200 --> 00:16:43.399 years now, but it took this long for them to 333 00:16:43.399 --> 00:16:45.000 put him in the ring. We had not seen him 334 00:16:45.000 --> 00:16:48.240 wrestle in WWE until tonight. This was the man's dream. 335 00:16:49.360 --> 00:16:53.240 He wanted to come here years ago, and finally he 336 00:16:53.360 --> 00:16:55.960 came and they didn't have any interest in putting him 337 00:16:55.960 --> 00:16:59.240 in the ring. So three years go by, he's three 338 00:16:59.320 --> 00:17:01.720 years older. You don't know what you're going to expect. 339 00:17:02.320 --> 00:17:05.000 I'm sure this all came together on relatively short notice. 340 00:17:05.799 --> 00:17:08.079 And you know, he keeps himself in good shape, but still, 341 00:17:08.079 --> 00:17:09.720 I mean, it takes a while to get yourself in 342 00:17:09.839 --> 00:17:12.640 ring shape, and you don't know what the guy's going 343 00:17:12.720 --> 00:17:14.960 to look like. He showed up tonight, he was in 344 00:17:15.079 --> 00:17:18.200 great shape. It's not like he got gassed out or 345 00:17:18.240 --> 00:17:21.119 anything like that. He looked great in the ring with 346 00:17:21.200 --> 00:17:24.599 Gunther tonight. Gunther was just the perfect, you know shit 347 00:17:24.680 --> 00:17:27.559 heel opponent for him. They went out there. I was 348 00:17:27.680 --> 00:17:29.720 very happy for all this that he was able to 349 00:17:29.720 --> 00:17:32.480 get that moment. His wife and son were at ringside 350 00:17:32.559 --> 00:17:34.640 to watch the match. The crowd was super into it. 351 00:17:34.759 --> 00:17:37.119 They were fully behind him, They were fully invested in 352 00:17:37.200 --> 00:17:39.200 seeing Nick all this. They want him to beat Gunther. 353 00:17:39.880 --> 00:17:42.039 So it all worked out very well. And when the 354 00:17:42.079 --> 00:17:44.559 match was over, I was wondering, Okay, well where to now? 355 00:17:45.920 --> 00:17:47.799 Does he want to wrestle full time? I don't know 356 00:17:47.839 --> 00:17:50.279 if they want him wrestling full time. You know, he 357 00:17:50.359 --> 00:17:52.160 does a very good job in the GM role. Why 358 00:17:52.200 --> 00:17:54.960 would they want to replace him? And we got our 359 00:17:55.000 --> 00:17:56.799 answer when the show was over. For those who didn't 360 00:17:56.799 --> 00:17:59.440 see on the post show, there was a segment in 361 00:17:59.480 --> 00:18:02.440 the back where all This confronted Triple H and he 362 00:18:02.559 --> 00:18:06.119 handed him his letter of resignation because he said, look, 363 00:18:06.839 --> 00:18:09.440 I was the GM, but I had to fight Gunther 364 00:18:10.279 --> 00:18:12.720 and I was relieved of my duties and I understand 365 00:18:12.799 --> 00:18:16.119 what I did, and so here's my letter of resignation. 366 00:18:17.359 --> 00:18:19.759 And in the end, Triple H basically ripped it up 367 00:18:19.799 --> 00:18:23.960 and said, I'm reinstating you as the General Manager of SmackDown. 368 00:18:24.599 --> 00:18:27.880 So everything's back to normal. Nick All, this is back 369 00:18:27.920 --> 00:18:29.599 as the GM. It doesn't mean that we'll never see 370 00:18:29.640 --> 00:18:32.119 him back in the ring ever again, but if he 371 00:18:32.279 --> 00:18:36.000 wasn't coming back full time, it just is very awkward. 372 00:18:36.680 --> 00:18:38.799 How do you like? Storyline wise? How do you do that? 373 00:18:39.920 --> 00:18:42.880 Just to have the one match with Gunther, right, he 374 00:18:43.039 --> 00:18:48.000 had to temporarily resign his position as the GM. So 375 00:18:48.160 --> 00:18:49.680 what does that mean every time he wants to have 376 00:18:49.759 --> 00:18:52.359 a match with somebody, he's got to temporarily resign as 377 00:18:52.400 --> 00:18:54.400 the general manager. You kind of have to shit or 378 00:18:54.480 --> 00:18:56.759 get off the pot. You got to make a decision. 379 00:18:56.799 --> 00:18:58.359 Do you want him as a full time wrestler do 380 00:18:58.359 --> 00:19:01.240 you want him as a GM. I think there's more 381 00:19:01.359 --> 00:19:04.559 value to him as a GM. It's not like, oh, 382 00:19:04.680 --> 00:19:07.240 the roster, they so desperately need Nick all this on 383 00:19:07.359 --> 00:19:11.000 the show. They don't. He'll serve them better in the 384 00:19:11.119 --> 00:19:14.559 GM role. And then if a storyline comes up, or 385 00:19:14.640 --> 00:19:16.599 if you you know, cameo in the Royal Rumble or 386 00:19:16.599 --> 00:19:19.400 something like that, he can be back in the ring. Yeah, 387 00:19:19.480 --> 00:19:22.960 maybe he'll get a WrestleMania match one day, but we 388 00:19:23.039 --> 00:19:25.559 have our answer. Now he's back to being the GM, 389 00:19:26.799 --> 00:19:29.759 and at least he got his one moment. Well. Then, 390 00:19:29.839 --> 00:19:32.079 it was also the tale of two trios matches on 391 00:19:32.160 --> 00:19:33.960 this show, one for the men, one for the women. 392 00:19:34.279 --> 00:19:38.279 I had fun with the men's match. I had whatever 393 00:19:38.359 --> 00:19:40.599 the opposite of fun is is what I had with 394 00:19:40.680 --> 00:19:45.319 the women's match, and it was colored by a potential 395 00:19:45.400 --> 00:19:49.640 injury to Brebella. It's very clear that she was hurt. 396 00:19:49.640 --> 00:19:51.759 I think the only question is how badly is she hurt. 397 00:19:52.039 --> 00:19:54.759 There's no way she wasn't hurt, and so that didn't 398 00:19:54.759 --> 00:20:00.319 help matters. This was a good show. It was a 399 00:20:00.400 --> 00:20:03.279 good show. I can't I can't say it was anything 400 00:20:03.319 --> 00:20:06.079 more than that, because I can't sit here and tell 401 00:20:06.079 --> 00:20:08.240 you it was a band show. I enjoyed more than 402 00:20:08.279 --> 00:20:11.799 I disliked. The opening match I thought was very good. 403 00:20:12.200 --> 00:20:14.359 The men's six man I thought was very good, The 404 00:20:14.440 --> 00:20:18.319 oldest match I enjoyed that. The punkin Cody match started 405 00:20:18.559 --> 00:20:23.400 very very slow. Crowd was very quiet, but it built 406 00:20:23.839 --> 00:20:26.559 because they knew they were going thirty minutes and it 407 00:20:26.599 --> 00:20:28.519 built nicely to the end. We got the big Randy 408 00:20:28.599 --> 00:20:30.559 Orton return and even in the main event in Helen 409 00:20:30.640 --> 00:20:34.640 a cell While I was disappointed in the match that 410 00:20:34.759 --> 00:20:37.359 we ended up getting and this absolutely did not need 411 00:20:37.440 --> 00:20:40.480 to sell, I cannot impress upon you how much this 412 00:20:40.599 --> 00:20:42.319 did not need to be inside Hell and a cella. 413 00:20:42.400 --> 00:20:45.279 What a waste of the stipulation it was. But still 414 00:20:46.240 --> 00:20:48.640 it was Oba Femi doing what he needed to do, 415 00:20:48.720 --> 00:20:50.960 which is beat Brocklesner in the main event, with Brock 416 00:20:50.960 --> 00:20:53.920 putting him over at the end, and I can't shit 417 00:20:54.000 --> 00:20:57.000 on that that's exactly what they should have done. But 418 00:20:57.079 --> 00:21:00.279 when the show was over, this is SummerSlam, and it 419 00:21:00.359 --> 00:21:03.400 didn't feel like a big Summer Slam. To me, it 420 00:21:03.559 --> 00:21:10.200 felt very safe. It felt very underwhelming in many ways. 421 00:21:11.599 --> 00:21:13.079 If I had a grade this on a scale of 422 00:21:13.119 --> 00:21:17.720 one to ten, I'd probably go six. I think that's fair, 423 00:21:19.200 --> 00:21:21.599 maybe six and a half. I would not go higher 424 00:21:21.640 --> 00:21:24.440 than that. And again, think about it. This was on paper. 425 00:21:24.519 --> 00:21:26.720 I think most people would agree on paper, this was 426 00:21:26.880 --> 00:21:30.559 the stronger of the two nights, and this was a 427 00:21:30.640 --> 00:21:32.960 six out of ten. What does that mean for Night two? 428 00:21:33.160 --> 00:21:35.200 I don't know, but we'll talk about night too tomorrow. 429 00:21:35.319 --> 00:21:37.400 Right now, I'm here to talk about Night one. This 430 00:21:37.599 --> 00:21:40.720 is your Summer Slam Night one review for twenty twenty six. 431 00:21:41.160 --> 00:21:43.920 If you don't know who I am, of course you do. 432 00:21:44.559 --> 00:21:46.519 I am the Solemn Monster. Thank you for being with 433 00:21:46.640 --> 00:21:50.400 me here on a Saturday night. Do me a favor 434 00:21:50.480 --> 00:21:52.319 and hit the subscribe button if you're new here.

Super chats, Yes, we 437 00:21:58.400 --> 00:21:59.920 got a bunch of them to go through. I want 438 00:22:00.160 --> 00:22:03.160 yours so I can read them. They are open. You 439 00:22:03.200 --> 00:22:07.119 will see them periodically popping up on your screen. Look 440 00:22:07.160 --> 00:22:10.799 at that. That's a long message right there. Brody had 441 00:22:10.799 --> 00:22:13.359 a lot to say in that super chat, but I'm 442 00:22:13.359 --> 00:22:15.799 going to be reading all of them, so get them 443 00:22:15.839 --> 00:22:18.200 on in and I have to bust out the wheel. 444 00:22:20.400 --> 00:22:23.799 What is the wheel for? Well, we have a little 445 00:22:23.839 --> 00:22:27.039 segment we do at the end of these streams sometimes 446 00:22:27.799 --> 00:22:35.799 ah called be the Booker. Be the Booker is what 447 00:22:35.920 --> 00:22:39.799 it's called. Fuck that tree debts, I thank you for 448 00:22:39.920 --> 00:22:44.000 the learning tree, and the wheel will determine how many 449 00:22:44.440 --> 00:22:46.759 likes we need in order to hit the be the 450 00:22:46.759 --> 00:22:51.160 Booker goal. It's actually very simple. So I spin and 451 00:22:51.240 --> 00:22:53.359 then I leave the rest up to you. Guys. All 452 00:22:53.359 --> 00:22:56.519 you got to do is hit that thumbs up. It's 453 00:22:56.559 --> 00:23:01.279 the easiest thing in the world. And all we need 454 00:23:01.400 --> 00:23:03.279 is four hundred and sixty five likes. And I mean 455 00:23:03.359 --> 00:23:05.880 this is the Summer Slam stream and we're already at 456 00:23:05.880 --> 00:23:10.400 four hundred and seventy likes. So so I have to 457 00:23:10.440 --> 00:23:12.559 spin again that See that. If you kn't be doing 458 00:23:12.640 --> 00:23:17.240 that when you've already attained the goal, we have to 459 00:23:17.319 --> 00:23:22.359 try again. That's that's cheating. That's that's not right. All right, 460 00:23:22.599 --> 00:23:25.680 six hundred. You know we're still going to hit it. 461 00:23:26.440 --> 00:23:27.920 You know we're still going to hit it. But I 462 00:23:28.200 --> 00:23:32.759 had to spin again, six hundred likes. That is the goal. 463 00:23:33.480 --> 00:23:34.920 You guys, get to work. We got a couple of 464 00:23:34.960 --> 00:23:37.519 new super chat amounts fourteen to fifteen dollars ones. I 465 00:23:37.599 --> 00:23:39.680 believe it's all in the description down below, so go 466 00:23:39.839 --> 00:23:42.559 check that out. But let's get to this. So they 467 00:23:42.599 --> 00:23:44.640 were in US Bank Stadium, and there was a lot 468 00:23:44.759 --> 00:23:48.599 made of the attendance coming into this show, and the 469 00:23:48.680 --> 00:23:51.720 attendants compared to what they did at MetLife Stadium last year, 470 00:23:51.920 --> 00:23:55.200 far far below what they did last I mean to 471 00:23:55.319 --> 00:23:58.200 the tune of like fifteen to twenty thousand tickets less. 472 00:23:59.319 --> 00:24:01.240 I don't believe, now, correct me if I'm wrong. I 473 00:24:01.359 --> 00:24:04.400 don't believe they mentioned the attendant once tonight. They certainly 474 00:24:04.400 --> 00:24:08.799 weren't gloating about it. Gee. I wonder why Usually they're 475 00:24:08.799 --> 00:24:10.839 all about they put the graphic up, or they have 476 00:24:11.000 --> 00:24:13.319 somebody make the announcement. They have a legend out there 477 00:24:13.359 --> 00:24:15.839 making the announcement. I didn't hear a single word said 478 00:24:15.839 --> 00:24:18.000 about Actually, the only thing that I did here, Michael 479 00:24:18.039 --> 00:24:21.960 Cole multiple times said a capacity crowd is what we 480 00:24:22.119 --> 00:24:26.599 have here in Minneapolis today. Apparently capacity doesn't mean what 481 00:24:26.680 --> 00:24:30.359 he used to me. So we did have Michael Cole 482 00:24:30.640 --> 00:24:33.359 lying to us multiple times and telling us it was 483 00:24:33.400 --> 00:24:35.920 a capacity crowd. It was not a capacity cred but 484 00:24:36.039 --> 00:24:38.480 they still had something like thirty seven thousand people there. 485 00:24:39.720 --> 00:24:42.680 That's still a healthy crowd. Now, US Bank Stadium, it's 486 00:24:42.720 --> 00:24:44.839 not an open air stadium, but I guess it must 487 00:24:44.920 --> 00:24:48.240 have like a transparent roof because the sunlight was shining through. 488 00:24:48.319 --> 00:24:52.200 For even during the main event, we had sunlight. Hell 489 00:24:52.240 --> 00:24:54.240 in a cell doesn't hit quite the same way when 490 00:24:54.279 --> 00:24:58.160 it's still light outside. It's like when Sting wrestled it. 491 00:24:58.200 --> 00:25:02.720 WrestleMania has one Wrestlemanium match. It's Sting. He's a dark character. 492 00:25:03.519 --> 00:25:08.160 He comes out and it's just fucking sunshine. The clouds 493 00:25:08.200 --> 00:25:10.519 are out, it's bright and sunny. It just doesn't hit 494 00:25:10.599 --> 00:25:13.559 the same way. So I don't know if it's the 495 00:25:13.759 --> 00:25:16.079 entire roof for just a portion of the roof, but 496 00:25:16.319 --> 00:25:19.160 you could see the light shining through the stage look 497 00:25:19.200 --> 00:25:23.400 good though. The setup looked good. Before the show started, 498 00:25:24.240 --> 00:25:30.279 we had Vaughan Evelyn performing God Bless America. And if 499 00:25:30.279 --> 00:25:34.079 you're wondering, well, who is Von Evelyn, that would be 500 00:25:34.240 --> 00:25:39.519 Von Evelyn Leveck, the fifteen year old daughter of Triple 501 00:25:39.640 --> 00:25:42.960 H and Stephanie McMahon. I don't believe they ever identified 502 00:25:43.000 --> 00:25:46.400 her as being their daughter, but she sang before the show. 503 00:25:48.799 --> 00:25:52.799 They opened the show with the Women's World Championship on 504 00:25:52.960 --> 00:25:57.839 the line, Live Morgan. This was a landmark day because 505 00:25:58.559 --> 00:26:02.519 this was Live Morgan's first title defense since she won 506 00:26:02.640 --> 00:26:08.839 the championship at WrestleMania in April. Over one hundred days 507 00:26:08.880 --> 00:26:12.559 of no defenses and finally she defended her title and 508 00:26:12.640 --> 00:26:15.400 it was against the Queen of the Ring, Eo Sky. 509 00:26:17.519 --> 00:26:20.960 So Morgan hit a three amigos. This was pretty early 510 00:26:21.039 --> 00:26:23.839 on in the match. There was a sunset bomb spot 511 00:26:24.079 --> 00:26:26.720 where liv got power bombed off the apron to the floor. 512 00:26:27.480 --> 00:26:30.799 Back inside, EO headed up top. Here comes Roxanne Perez 513 00:26:30.880 --> 00:26:33.759 and Raquel Rodriguez. This is a little deeper into the match, 514 00:26:34.160 --> 00:26:35.759 and so you knew the judgment Day was going to 515 00:26:35.799 --> 00:26:39.160 rear their heads at some point. So Roxanne distracted the 516 00:26:39.240 --> 00:26:42.400 referee while Raquel shoved Eo off the rope. She took 517 00:26:42.440 --> 00:26:45.720 a flat back into the center of the ring, but 518 00:26:45.839 --> 00:26:47.880 Eo made a comeback and she took out Perez and 519 00:26:47.960 --> 00:26:50.160 Rodriguez with a moon salt out to the floor. And 520 00:26:50.200 --> 00:26:54.119 then a few moments later, EO hit an avalanche Spanish 521 00:26:54.240 --> 00:26:58.160 fly and dropped Live all the way down, covered her 522 00:26:58.240 --> 00:27:02.000 for a near fall. EO then hit a backbreaker. Live 523 00:27:02.119 --> 00:27:05.160 rolled to the corner and EO went for the bullet 524 00:27:05.200 --> 00:27:07.720 train knees. Live moved out of the way, so she 525 00:27:07.839 --> 00:27:11.279 hit the turn buckle. EO hit Live with her own 526 00:27:11.359 --> 00:27:15.240 oblivion finish, only for a near fall. Then she went 527 00:27:15.319 --> 00:27:17.880 for her over the Moon salt, landed on her feet 528 00:27:17.920 --> 00:27:19.880 though when Live moved out of the way, EO sold 529 00:27:19.920 --> 00:27:21.839 it like maybe she jammed her knee or her ankle 530 00:27:21.920 --> 00:27:24.880 on the landing. Lived then jumped from the middle rope. 531 00:27:24.920 --> 00:27:28.279 She hit a code breaker for a two count. EO 532 00:27:28.440 --> 00:27:31.200 was able to dodge an oblivion attempt, got Live on 533 00:27:31.279 --> 00:27:34.160 the apron, and she delivered a German suplex on the apron. 534 00:27:34.279 --> 00:27:37.680 And now it Live sitting up against the ring post. 535 00:27:38.440 --> 00:27:40.960 Here comes EO and she comes charging in with the 536 00:27:41.000 --> 00:27:45.039 bullet train, knees back inside. Now EO goes up. She's 537 00:27:45.079 --> 00:27:47.160 gonna go again for the over the Moon salt, but 538 00:27:47.559 --> 00:27:50.480 Live got her feet up and then she went for oblivion. 539 00:27:51.119 --> 00:27:53.640 And it looked at first like she hit oblivion, and 540 00:27:53.759 --> 00:27:55.839 I get I mean, I guess EO blocked it. She 541 00:27:55.960 --> 00:27:58.960 ended up landing on her feet. She like propelled herself 542 00:27:59.000 --> 00:28:02.480 back up onto her feet, and she starts like screaming. 543 00:28:02.599 --> 00:28:04.759 She's all fired up, and like the crowd is into it. 544 00:28:05.759 --> 00:28:08.920 But then Live quickly followed up with a code breaker 545 00:28:09.039 --> 00:28:11.480 and then one last oblivion, and this time she got 546 00:28:11.559 --> 00:28:16.279 the pin to retain the title, and so liv Morgan 547 00:28:16.680 --> 00:28:20.400 remains undefeated at SummerSlam. This was either her third or 548 00:28:20.480 --> 00:28:24.200 fourth match at SummerSlam. She was undefeated coming into this show. 549 00:28:24.680 --> 00:28:28.799 She is still undefeated, which also means the dan Housen 550 00:28:28.920 --> 00:28:32.920 curse has been broken. Dan Housen cursed her, he never 551 00:28:33.119 --> 00:28:37.279 uncursed her, and she won. That means the dan Housen 552 00:28:37.359 --> 00:28:40.759 shit is dead. The curse has been broken. It has 553 00:28:40.839 --> 00:28:46.240 been rendered ineffective. Maybe we can start to quiet down 554 00:28:46.279 --> 00:28:49.000 the various dan Housen appearance. It just dial it back 555 00:28:49.000 --> 00:28:52.519 a little bit. Maybe I thought this was a very 556 00:28:52.559 --> 00:28:55.599 good opener, a great closing sequence, and they got time too. 557 00:28:56.039 --> 00:28:57.720 You know, Actually, now that I think about it, what's 558 00:28:57.759 --> 00:28:59.559 kind of said? This got more time than Brock and 559 00:28:59.640 --> 00:29:03.559 Obad inside the cell? It did? It got like a 560 00:29:03.680 --> 00:29:06.960 minute minute and a half more. This got about thirteen minutes. 561 00:29:07.599 --> 00:29:12.000 Brock Andoba had just shi of twelve. See that's what's 562 00:29:12.079 --> 00:29:15.000 ridiculous about it. Okay, again, I'm not saying that Brock 563 00:29:15.039 --> 00:29:17.359 Andoba had to go twenty plus, but I mean, for 564 00:29:17.480 --> 00:29:22.079 God's sake, does Eosky and Live Morgan really need to 565 00:29:22.119 --> 00:29:24.359 go longer than Brocklesner and Oba Femi when you have 566 00:29:24.440 --> 00:29:27.400 a hell in a cell stipulation, I mean, that's pretty 567 00:29:27.400 --> 00:29:30.839 fucking ridiculous. What I'm happy about, though, is that Live 568 00:29:30.880 --> 00:29:34.599 In Stephanie got like seven minutes if that at WrestleMania. 569 00:29:34.680 --> 00:29:36.839 So at least she got five or six minutes more 570 00:29:37.119 --> 00:29:40.200 for this match than she did in Mania. And now, 571 00:29:40.359 --> 00:29:43.480 I look, I just hope I was pulling for a 572 00:29:43.559 --> 00:29:47.720 title change, mostly because I'm just sick and tired of 573 00:29:47.839 --> 00:29:51.000 Live walking around with the title as a fashion accessory. 574 00:29:52.200 --> 00:29:56.079 They had nobody for her to work with. She became 575 00:29:56.160 --> 00:29:59.799 the de facto manager of the Judgment day. Okay, she retained, 576 00:30:00.559 --> 00:30:03.279 Now what, right? I don't want them to just go 577 00:30:03.400 --> 00:30:05.119 back to the way and let another one hundred days 578 00:30:05.160 --> 00:30:10.079 go by or fifty days go by, right, No more 579 00:30:10.119 --> 00:30:12.960 of this shit. She needs to get in the ring. 580 00:30:13.119 --> 00:30:15.240 She needs to defend the title every now and then, right, 581 00:30:15.440 --> 00:30:16.960 I mean, I don't even think they have another pl 582 00:30:17.000 --> 00:30:20.920 E until when is the next pl E. I don't 583 00:30:20.920 --> 00:30:22.599 even know they have a Saturday they have a Sunday 584 00:30:22.680 --> 00:30:25.480 Night's main event at the beginning of next month. I 585 00:30:25.559 --> 00:30:27.519 don't even know what. I don't even know when the 586 00:30:27.559 --> 00:30:30.200 next pl E is. Honestly, they haven't announced wrestled Palooza yet. 587 00:30:30.200 --> 00:30:32.720 I can't imagine they don't bring it back. I mean, 588 00:30:32.759 --> 00:30:35.599 they were so in love with it last year, so 589 00:30:35.720 --> 00:30:38.640 I would think the Wrestle Palooza announcement for September is 590 00:30:38.680 --> 00:30:42.720 probably coming very soon. But for God's sake, just line 591 00:30:42.839 --> 00:30:46.440 up two or three women. I mean, maybe, with any luck, 592 00:30:46.680 --> 00:30:52.000 Stephanie Vicaier will reappear on RAW on Monday. Maybe she'll 593 00:30:52.000 --> 00:30:53.839 be back. Maybe she'll be back on TV this Monday, 594 00:30:55.039 --> 00:30:58.920 you know, and they can resume the feud, reignite that. 595 00:31:00.599 --> 00:31:03.000 But I mean, otherwise, you know, line a few people 596 00:31:03.119 --> 00:31:04.359 up and get her in the ring and let her 597 00:31:04.400 --> 00:31:07.599 defend the championship. No more of this bullshit where people 598 00:31:07.640 --> 00:31:10.839 are just hoarding belts and they don't do anything with them. 599 00:31:10.880 --> 00:31:14.680 Because here's the thing, it makes for boring television. If 600 00:31:14.680 --> 00:31:17.160 you want the television to be more exciting and more interesting. 601 00:31:17.240 --> 00:31:19.079 You've got to line up some challenges for these people. 602 00:31:19.640 --> 00:31:21.759 Even if EO had won, if EO won the belt, 603 00:31:21.839 --> 00:31:23.759 to that it would have been the same thing. You 604 00:31:23.960 --> 00:31:26.119 have to have people lined up for them to work with. 605 00:31:26.440 --> 00:31:29.319 So that's my only hope. If they have people lined 606 00:31:29.400 --> 00:31:31.799 up for live, great, then I have no problem with 607 00:31:31.880 --> 00:31:35.559 her retaining. But Monday would be a great time for 608 00:31:35.799 --> 00:31:40.799 a Stephanie Vickier return. Now they plugged, I mean they 609 00:31:40.839 --> 00:31:42.759 had a lot of different commercials here during the show. 610 00:31:44.200 --> 00:31:47.519 By the way, this show it started at six and 611 00:31:47.680 --> 00:31:51.880 it was over a little over three hours, like nine 612 00:31:51.920 --> 00:31:55.319 oh five. Maybe I think the show was over. I 613 00:31:55.559 --> 00:31:59.920 like it. Very economical. I will not complain about that. 614 00:32:00.200 --> 00:32:03.400 That's great. There's certain other pay per views that I 615 00:32:03.440 --> 00:32:07.519 wish would would also be you know, around that length 616 00:32:07.559 --> 00:32:10.759 three and a half hours, maybe top out around there 617 00:32:11.359 --> 00:32:14.200 would be nice. But we had a lot of ad 618 00:32:14.240 --> 00:32:16.279 breaks in between the matches, and one of them was 619 00:32:16.960 --> 00:32:20.079 they were advertising the new line of LJN figures. They've 620 00:32:20.079 --> 00:32:22.759 brought the ljns back, like last year. I think they 621 00:32:22.839 --> 00:32:26.160 brought them back. They had like Hogan and Dusty and 622 00:32:26.839 --> 00:32:29.200 Logan Paul and John Cena, right, I think those are 623 00:32:29.240 --> 00:32:32.720 the first four. So then there was like another line 624 00:32:33.319 --> 00:32:35.839 of figures and they announced, and this might have just 625 00:32:35.880 --> 00:32:38.640 been announced it to a comic con, that they're coming 626 00:32:38.680 --> 00:32:43.319 out with a Heart Foundation two pack, and that drew 627 00:32:43.400 --> 00:32:45.559 my attention because when I was a kid, I never 628 00:32:45.680 --> 00:32:49.400 did have the Heart Foundation ones with a Brett one 629 00:32:50.119 --> 00:32:52.920 and I was like, hmm, I don't know, maybe maybe 630 00:32:54.039 --> 00:32:57.200 maybe I'd be interested in that. And apparently today was 631 00:32:57.240 --> 00:33:01.119 the pre sale on Target. They're a Target exclusive, and 632 00:33:01.240 --> 00:33:03.640 so somebody reminded me of this earlier and they said, hey, 633 00:33:04.200 --> 00:33:06.519 they just open up the pre sales and they're available 634 00:33:06.680 --> 00:33:09.960 and they're discounted for like forty bucks if you want 635 00:33:10.000 --> 00:33:12.000 to jump on there and buy them. I'm like, oh shit. 636 00:33:13.039 --> 00:33:15.720 So I jump on Target dot Com earlier today, and 637 00:33:15.960 --> 00:33:19.119 there they are. They got the Heart Foundation, they got 638 00:33:19.200 --> 00:33:21.880 Brother Love. Who gives a fuck about Brother Love? And 639 00:33:22.000 --> 00:33:24.240 I click on the Heart Foundation one and it looks 640 00:33:24.319 --> 00:33:26.720 like it's in stock, and I go add to cart 641 00:33:27.119 --> 00:33:29.279 and it won't let me add to cart. It says 642 00:33:29.400 --> 00:33:32.519 items sold out. These are for pre orders. By the way, 643 00:33:33.160 --> 00:33:38.920 I said items sold out. It was just available that quickly. Gone, Gone, 644 00:33:39.759 --> 00:33:42.720 gone with the wind. Actually, I was shocked at the 645 00:33:42.720 --> 00:33:45.119 ship day. They're not even shipping until May of next year. 646 00:33:46.000 --> 00:33:50.039 What the fuck fucking ten months away? But it doesn't 647 00:33:50.079 --> 00:33:57.680 matter because they're already gone. Fuck off, LJN ridiculous, doesn't 648 00:33:57.680 --> 00:34:02.279 even look like Brett. I was very mad about this, 649 00:34:02.559 --> 00:34:04.279 and then they have to have a commercial for it. 650 00:34:04.880 --> 00:34:08.840 Fuck off. We had the six man tag team match. 651 00:34:09.719 --> 00:34:13.800 It was La Knight. It was Solo, Socoa and Royce 652 00:34:13.920 --> 00:34:19.199 Keys against Jacob fought To and the USOS. The blood 653 00:34:19.239 --> 00:34:22.320 Line got a special Gears of War a video game 654 00:34:22.519 --> 00:34:25.039 entrance or it was like a video game sponsored entrance, 655 00:34:26.119 --> 00:34:29.280 and Jacob thought to He entered wearing a werewolf mask. 656 00:34:29.320 --> 00:34:30.840 We haven't seen him wear that mask in a while. 657 00:34:31.960 --> 00:34:35.320 He's warned a few times before, so the mask is 658 00:34:35.400 --> 00:34:39.199 kind of cool. Solo and Jay they ended up in 659 00:34:39.280 --> 00:34:44.079 the ring together and Solo he turns, He turns to 660 00:34:44.159 --> 00:34:48.199 the hard can. He turns to the heart. Solo is great, 661 00:34:52.840 --> 00:34:58.480 fuck that tree, Ah hate Chief, thank you, thank you 662 00:34:58.559 --> 00:35:03.480 for the luring tree and super super Trabo with the subscribe. 663 00:35:04.159 --> 00:35:08.119 Thank you brother, appreciate it. Solo looks to the hardcam 664 00:35:08.559 --> 00:35:11.119 and he gives the signal to run it back and 665 00:35:11.199 --> 00:35:14.480 they start playing Jay Usso's music and fucking Solo Sokoa 666 00:35:14.599 --> 00:35:17.760 is standing in the middle of the ring and he 667 00:35:17.880 --> 00:35:22.039 starts yeating, and the entire crowd, like on the Hard Camp, 668 00:35:22.079 --> 00:35:24.880 you see everybody just standing up and yeating along with Solo, 669 00:35:25.639 --> 00:35:27.039 and Jay is looking at it. It's like, what the 670 00:35:27.159 --> 00:35:29.639 fuck do you do? Jack in my entrance here you're 671 00:35:29.679 --> 00:35:33.480 jacking my shit. But this was this was hilarious, Like 672 00:35:33.599 --> 00:35:40.320 the look the giant smile on Solo's face amazing. How 673 00:35:40.519 --> 00:35:45.760 was this man ever? A heel? Solo dropped fa too 674 00:35:45.840 --> 00:35:48.880 with a Samoan drop, but Jacob no soul that got 675 00:35:48.960 --> 00:35:51.519 right back up to his feet and he ended up 676 00:35:51.599 --> 00:35:55.159 dropping Solo with the pop up samo and drop and 677 00:35:55.159 --> 00:35:58.280 then a running sent on. So the Bloodlin worked over Solo. 678 00:35:58.400 --> 00:36:03.320 In the corner. Crab was chanting, let's go Solo. I'm 679 00:36:03.360 --> 00:36:05.760 starting to hear that more and more. We heard that 680 00:36:05.880 --> 00:36:07.360 on Monday night when he was in the crowd. They 681 00:36:07.360 --> 00:36:11.159 started chanting let's go Solo. Let's they were chanting for me. 682 00:36:11.880 --> 00:36:14.159 It's very possible. I'm sure you're all at home right 683 00:36:14.199 --> 00:36:16.000 now when you tune into these streams and you're chanting 684 00:36:16.079 --> 00:36:17.760 that same thing. In fact, I want you to type 685 00:36:17.800 --> 00:36:19.000 that out in the chat. We got to get some 686 00:36:19.119 --> 00:36:23.320 let's go solo chance going so FA two hit solo 687 00:36:23.400 --> 00:36:25.639 with a running hip attack in the corner, but then 688 00:36:25.679 --> 00:36:28.199 the two of them ended up colliding. They closelined each other. 689 00:36:28.280 --> 00:36:31.840 We got a double down. So anyway, Royce Keys tagged 690 00:36:31.880 --> 00:36:35.079 in and Jimmy Uso tagged in and Keys planted him 691 00:36:35.079 --> 00:36:37.559 with the world's Strongest Slam. I guess that was maybe 692 00:36:37.639 --> 00:36:40.880 a little tribute to Mark Henry who was in the crowd. 693 00:36:40.920 --> 00:36:42.800 They showed him in the crowd. In fact, the entire 694 00:36:42.880 --> 00:36:44.880 Busted Open crew was in the crowd. They had a 695 00:36:44.880 --> 00:36:47.599 shot of them later on right there was Dave Lagreca, 696 00:36:48.039 --> 00:36:52.599 Tommy Dreamer, Bully Ray, big smile, big cheesy smile on 697 00:36:52.719 --> 00:37:02.599 his face. Yeah. So there was a spot where Keys 698 00:37:03.280 --> 00:37:07.199 was on the ropes with Jimmy and he was trying 699 00:37:07.239 --> 00:37:09.599 to pick him up again like almost in a World's 700 00:37:09.599 --> 00:37:13.599 Strongest Slam position, but from the middle rope. But he 701 00:37:13.800 --> 00:37:18.559 was struggling, man, I mean, it was it was tough. 702 00:37:18.920 --> 00:37:20.800 I don't know what if it was just like his 703 00:37:21.000 --> 00:37:23.320 positioning on the ropes or he just couldn't get a 704 00:37:23.360 --> 00:37:26.599 good grip or whatever it was. This was taking forever, 705 00:37:27.400 --> 00:37:29.599 and then finally he was able to power slam him 706 00:37:29.639 --> 00:37:33.920 off the ropes. Jimmy does look bigger. I don't know 707 00:37:33.960 --> 00:37:37.119 if that had something to do with it, but La 708 00:37:37.199 --> 00:37:41.440 Knight and Jay they got tagged in and Jacob tried 709 00:37:41.519 --> 00:37:44.800 to jump into things. Night knocked him off the apron 710 00:37:45.679 --> 00:37:48.400 hit a big elbow for a near fall, and Jay 711 00:37:48.480 --> 00:37:50.639 came back with a spear for a near fall of 712 00:37:50.719 --> 00:37:53.400 his own. So Jay went up top. Night though he 713 00:37:53.519 --> 00:37:56.159 popped up, did the leap up to the top that 714 00:37:56.239 --> 00:38:00.079 he does and brought him down with a superplex. But 715 00:38:00.559 --> 00:38:03.760 Jimmy was on the top rope in the opposite corner 716 00:38:04.199 --> 00:38:08.039 and he came diving off with an USO splash. So 717 00:38:08.199 --> 00:38:11.400 then Solo took out Jimmy with a Yuranagi. FA two 718 00:38:11.519 --> 00:38:15.880 took out Solo with an implant DDTDI impaler. Royce keys 719 00:38:15.960 --> 00:38:19.400 he drove FOT two into the mat with a spinebuster, 720 00:38:20.320 --> 00:38:22.840 and then they ended up outside and this was the 721 00:38:22.880 --> 00:38:26.920 big spot of the match right here, because Jacob charged 722 00:38:27.000 --> 00:38:31.000 in towards Royce, who was over by the timekeeper's barricade. 723 00:38:32.039 --> 00:38:35.679 So here comes Jacob Fatu Keys catches him as he 724 00:38:35.800 --> 00:38:39.360 comes charging in. He catches him for a power slam, 725 00:38:39.440 --> 00:38:43.239 and he power slams him over the timekeeper's barricade to 726 00:38:43.360 --> 00:38:45.880 the floor on the other side, which is exposed. It's 727 00:38:45.920 --> 00:38:48.519 the concrete on the other side of the barricade. Keys 728 00:38:48.599 --> 00:38:52.119 goes over the barricade with him and nearly spikes himself 729 00:38:52.199 --> 00:38:56.440 face first down into the ground. I mean, this was 730 00:38:56.519 --> 00:38:59.880 a crazy spot and that could have ended very badly. 731 00:39:00.639 --> 00:39:03.320 So that was like the one big holy shit spot 732 00:39:03.360 --> 00:39:08.320 of the match. Back inside, j hit Knight with a spear. 733 00:39:09.199 --> 00:39:11.559 Jimmy came off the top with an USO splash and 734 00:39:11.599 --> 00:39:13.480 he covered Night though kicked out it too, And so 735 00:39:13.679 --> 00:39:17.000 the USO set up for the one D solo was 736 00:39:17.039 --> 00:39:20.719 on the apron and he reaches over and he delivers 737 00:39:20.719 --> 00:39:24.559 the Samoan spike to Jimmy. La Knight then catches Jay 738 00:39:24.639 --> 00:39:27.920 with a BFT and man, I'm kind of under selling it. 739 00:39:28.079 --> 00:39:31.840 He got all of that BFT. He fucking planted him, 740 00:39:31.880 --> 00:39:35.480 and I will say Jay sold this great and La 741 00:39:35.559 --> 00:39:40.039 Knight pins j Uso to win the six man tag 742 00:39:40.119 --> 00:39:43.880 team messie that I wasn't expecting that. That was a 743 00:39:43.960 --> 00:39:49.920 pleasant surprise, And I have to say this, I feel vindicated, Okay, 744 00:39:50.079 --> 00:39:52.440 for all the times, and you guys know, for all 745 00:39:52.480 --> 00:39:54.320 the times over the last several months that I have 746 00:39:54.440 --> 00:39:58.760 said that deep within there is a babyface run, a 747 00:39:58.880 --> 00:40:03.119 great babyface run buried within Solo's socoa. Why is he 748 00:40:03.239 --> 00:40:05.480 continuing to do the shit that they have him doing 749 00:40:05.559 --> 00:40:08.760 on TV? Why is this MFT stuff still going on? 750 00:40:09.360 --> 00:40:12.360 Why are the MFT still feuding with the Wyat's six right? 751 00:40:12.400 --> 00:40:14.679 How many times did we talk about this over and 752 00:40:14.800 --> 00:40:17.760 over and over again, and now it is starting to 753 00:40:17.800 --> 00:40:19.719 bear fruit. You are seeing. This is why I was 754 00:40:19.760 --> 00:40:22.639 saying it the entire time. It's amazing sometimes how if 755 00:40:22.679 --> 00:40:26.760 you just let somebody be more like themselves, how they 756 00:40:26.840 --> 00:40:29.400 can get over. The guy is a natural babyface. He's 757 00:40:29.480 --> 00:40:33.519 naturally charismatic and naturally funny. If you just let some 758 00:40:33.599 --> 00:40:36.519 of that shine through on TV, he will get over. 759 00:40:38.199 --> 00:40:41.639 He will get over. The only regret I have is 760 00:40:41.719 --> 00:40:44.440 that I had this whole idea in mind for the 761 00:40:44.599 --> 00:40:47.960 entire MFT. He's not just Solo. Yeah, they could have. 762 00:40:48.480 --> 00:40:51.119 You could have gotten the whole group over. Instead you 763 00:40:51.239 --> 00:40:55.480 fired half of them, and now Tallatoga and Tomatonga are 764 00:40:55.519 --> 00:40:57.880 going to be doing something with Haku and we'll see 765 00:40:57.920 --> 00:41:00.960 where that goes. But solo on a zone as a babyface. 766 00:41:01.079 --> 00:41:03.800 This is how it needs to be. Any consideration to 767 00:41:03.880 --> 00:41:07.039 turning him back or there being a swerve, or you know, 768 00:41:07.320 --> 00:41:09.119 we don't want him to be a babyface for the 769 00:41:09.199 --> 00:41:11.239 long run, Like that's bullshit. You gotta put that idea 770 00:41:11.239 --> 00:41:13.280 out of your mind. If they're thinking about that, they 771 00:41:13.360 --> 00:41:16.000 need to not think about that and just keep riding 772 00:41:16.079 --> 00:41:18.480 this wave. Let him go out there, let him be himself, 773 00:41:19.079 --> 00:41:21.480 and he will continue to get over and the crowds 774 00:41:21.480 --> 00:41:24.639 will continue to chant his name, and you see how 775 00:41:24.719 --> 00:41:27.920 far you can take it. So that is great to see. 776 00:41:28.159 --> 00:41:33.159 I was surprised the bloodline lost, pleasantly surprised even more 777 00:41:33.239 --> 00:41:36.480 so that La Night got the pin on jay Usso again, 778 00:41:36.559 --> 00:41:39.599 I was not expecting that to take place. I don't 779 00:41:39.639 --> 00:41:42.960 know that it leads anywhere worthwhile. I gave up a 780 00:41:43.039 --> 00:41:46.559 long time ago getting my hopes up assuming that there's 781 00:41:46.639 --> 00:41:50.880 really anything of substance in store for this guy, that 782 00:41:50.960 --> 00:41:53.039 they have some sort of big grand plan for him. 783 00:41:53.119 --> 00:41:56.320 They don't, but you never know. Right, you're only one 784 00:41:56.440 --> 00:41:59.199 injury away, A spot opens up and all of a 785 00:41:59.239 --> 00:42:01.960 sudden la and getting a big push. Not that I'm 786 00:42:02.039 --> 00:42:04.639 advocating for anybody to get hurt, but I have no 787 00:42:04.800 --> 00:42:07.639 faith whatsoever they have any real grand plans for him 788 00:42:07.719 --> 00:42:11.559 beyond what he's doing right now. For one night though, 789 00:42:12.360 --> 00:42:16.360 for one night, he beat the yeat Man and he 790 00:42:16.480 --> 00:42:18.159 got the win for his team, and he wasn't looking 791 00:42:18.239 --> 00:42:22.480 up with the lights. I'll take it. Fun match, fun match. 792 00:42:22.519 --> 00:42:24.360 They kept up a good pace. I thought everybody had 793 00:42:24.400 --> 00:42:27.639 a chance to shine at different points, and the bloodline 794 00:42:27.840 --> 00:42:32.119 ate shit for a change. This was an easy thumbs up. 795 00:42:33.800 --> 00:42:38.400 Then we had Gunther, the Ring General, taking on the 796 00:42:38.480 --> 00:42:42.920 National Treasure Nick All this this was all. This is 797 00:42:43.000 --> 00:42:47.840 in ring WWE debut. This was his first match in 798 00:42:48.039 --> 00:42:51.840 three years he's been out of the ring, and they 799 00:42:52.079 --> 00:42:58.239 actually paid for Oasis not to perform live, but they 800 00:42:58.400 --> 00:43:03.800 paid for Morning Glory, which was a little difficult to 801 00:43:03.840 --> 00:43:07.480 hear when he initially came out, but then it became 802 00:43:07.599 --> 00:43:11.400 very clear listening to it what it was. And I'll 803 00:43:11.440 --> 00:43:15.559 be damned, I'm sure that didn't come cheap. I'm also 804 00:43:15.719 --> 00:43:18.039 sure that this is going to be edited off the 805 00:43:18.360 --> 00:43:23.039 replays on ESPN and or Netflix. I would be shocked 806 00:43:23.119 --> 00:43:25.920 if they keep that song in there, but they had 807 00:43:25.960 --> 00:43:28.159 to pay something for it, and I'm sure it wasn't cheap. 808 00:43:28.280 --> 00:43:29.719 I don't know how many people they're going to have 809 00:43:29.760 --> 00:43:33.679 to release in the next wave of cutbacks to pay 810 00:43:33.760 --> 00:43:36.840 for the song, but it just added to kind of 811 00:43:36.880 --> 00:43:39.920 the special nature of the occasion. And I'm sure for him, 812 00:43:40.400 --> 00:43:42.360 I don't know if he had to say in the song. 813 00:43:42.440 --> 00:43:45.559 I mean he must have. But that was very unexpected 814 00:43:46.119 --> 00:43:48.159 because I was worried they were going to deaf rebel him. 815 00:43:48.440 --> 00:43:50.599 I started thinking about, like, oh, man, when he comes out, 816 00:43:51.840 --> 00:43:56.840 like what is he gonna come out to? Yeah, God 817 00:43:56.920 --> 00:43:58.840 only knows what god awful song they're going to have 818 00:43:58.960 --> 00:44:01.599 him come out to. So him coming out to that 819 00:44:01.840 --> 00:44:05.159 was a relief. And they introduced him as the National Treasure, 820 00:44:05.199 --> 00:44:07.960 which is the nickname he used to go by when 821 00:44:08.000 --> 00:44:11.519 he was the NWA World's Heavyweight Champion. He looked incredible. 822 00:44:12.360 --> 00:44:14.239 I mean he really did, like he got himself. I 823 00:44:14.280 --> 00:44:16.719 mean he was already in shape, but like whatever work 824 00:44:16.760 --> 00:44:18.719 he's put into things over the last several weeks, it 825 00:44:18.800 --> 00:44:22.079 paid off just cosmetically. He looked like he can just 826 00:44:22.320 --> 00:44:24.440 you know, he could be on the active roster right now. 827 00:44:24.639 --> 00:44:26.960 It wouldn't look out of place at all, so he 828 00:44:27.079 --> 00:44:29.599 was in great shape. They also acknowledged him on the screen. 829 00:44:29.639 --> 00:44:32.000 They put a graphic up showing some of his past 830 00:44:32.000 --> 00:44:36.920 accomplishments and they acknowledged him as a I think a 831 00:44:37.000 --> 00:44:41.719 two time TNA tag team champion, but said nothing about 832 00:44:41.800 --> 00:44:44.599 him being an NWA champion, which was I just found 833 00:44:44.639 --> 00:44:49.760 that funny. His wife, Mickey James and their son Donovan 834 00:44:49.840 --> 00:44:53.280 were in the front row for this match. I popped 835 00:44:53.320 --> 00:44:57.400 at Michael Cole talking about all This's appearance last week 836 00:44:57.440 --> 00:44:59.719 on Chris Van Vliet's podcast, which is a great interview 837 00:44:59.719 --> 00:45:03.719 by the if he didn't see it, but wait, according 838 00:45:03.760 --> 00:45:07.840 to Cole, it was the NWE. Is that what he said? Yeah, 839 00:45:08.280 --> 00:45:15.039 Cole is he's just been awful lately. The NW. I'm 840 00:45:15.039 --> 00:45:18.800 sure there is a promotion out there called NWE. I 841 00:45:18.840 --> 00:45:20.519 don't think they can all this ever wrestle for them, 842 00:45:20.599 --> 00:45:25.960 but I'm sure they exist somewhere. What I was gonna 843 00:45:25.960 --> 00:45:27.760 say is I popped at Michael Cole. He was talking 844 00:45:27.800 --> 00:45:33.199 about all disappearing on Chris's podcast and never acknowledge the 845 00:45:33.280 --> 00:45:36.039 fact that in the front row on the hardcam right there. 846 00:45:36.079 --> 00:45:38.119 I think as he was saying it let alone all night. 847 00:45:38.320 --> 00:45:39.840 He was right there in the front row was Chris 848 00:45:39.920 --> 00:45:42.760 van Vliet. He was sitting right there. Never even acknowledged him, 849 00:45:44.039 --> 00:45:45.800 but he did mention that he was on his podcast. 850 00:45:47.840 --> 00:45:51.719 I should have texted Chris during the show, just to 851 00:45:52.719 --> 00:45:55.079 fuck with him, and then while I'm watching, I'll see 852 00:45:55.119 --> 00:45:56.840 him look down at his phone and know that it 853 00:45:56.960 --> 00:45:59.239 was me. See, but I didn't do it though I 854 00:45:59.280 --> 00:46:02.239 didn't want to bother. There was a very impressive spot 855 00:46:02.320 --> 00:46:04.480 early on here in this match where all this he 856 00:46:04.559 --> 00:46:07.519 caught Gunther out of mid air and then muscled him 857 00:46:07.599 --> 00:46:10.920 up into a vertical suplex. All this went to the ropes. 858 00:46:11.000 --> 00:46:13.360 Gunther came over though he chopped him off the ropes, 859 00:46:13.519 --> 00:46:15.599 and all this took a hard bump down to the floor. 860 00:46:16.559 --> 00:46:19.039 So gun the he went over and got in Mickey's 861 00:46:19.079 --> 00:46:21.760 face in the front row a ringside. See. I thought 862 00:46:21.760 --> 00:46:24.079 they were setting up for a spot late in the match, 863 00:46:24.679 --> 00:46:26.840 you know, where like he would saunter on over to 864 00:46:26.960 --> 00:46:29.039 Mickey and then Mickey would like slap him in the 865 00:46:29.079 --> 00:46:33.599 face or something. They didn't do anything like that. Yeah, 866 00:46:34.320 --> 00:46:37.039 put you know, go to put the kid in the sleeperhold, 867 00:46:37.039 --> 00:46:39.360 and then Mickey smacks him or something. I don't know. 868 00:46:39.800 --> 00:46:42.079 I don't know. When they show the family on screen, 869 00:46:42.199 --> 00:46:45.480 immediately you think angle alerts, right. I'm just it's kind 870 00:46:45.480 --> 00:46:47.440 of ingrained in me as a wrestling fan to think 871 00:46:47.519 --> 00:46:51.880 okay and Mickey obviously herself being a wrestler, but they 872 00:46:51.920 --> 00:46:54.639 never did factor into the match. So a little bit 873 00:46:54.719 --> 00:46:57.280 later on Gunther he escaped a clover leaf attempt, he 874 00:46:57.360 --> 00:46:59.760 locked in a sleeper. All just sent Gunther into the 875 00:46:59.800 --> 00:47:02.840 turn and buckles to break the sleeper hold, but Gunther 876 00:47:02.960 --> 00:47:05.559 then mowed him down with a hard lariat and he 877 00:47:05.679 --> 00:47:07.760 tried to go up top. All this though, cut him 878 00:47:07.760 --> 00:47:13.519 off with a superplex, and at this point the crowd 879 00:47:13.639 --> 00:47:17.239 was shedding. You still got it? Or, as Michael Cole said, 880 00:47:17.519 --> 00:47:21.599 you still have it? Does he just make shit up 881 00:47:22.000 --> 00:47:26.239 as things go? He just I don't know, I don't 882 00:47:26.239 --> 00:47:29.039 know what it is with him. Man, how long has 883 00:47:29.039 --> 00:47:33.119 he been doing this for? Now? Thirty years? Hm? So 884 00:47:33.280 --> 00:47:35.480 All this caught gun Through with a flying clothesline, then 885 00:47:35.519 --> 00:47:38.039 he hit a British Bulldog style power slam for a 886 00:47:38.119 --> 00:47:42.159 near fall. All this put Gunther down with a slam 887 00:47:42.239 --> 00:47:47.119 before hitting a top rope diving elbow. Then he followed 888 00:47:47.159 --> 00:47:49.599 up with another top rope elbow and then he got 889 00:47:49.639 --> 00:47:52.440 the clover leaf applied. And the crowd was invested in 890 00:47:52.519 --> 00:47:55.119 this man, because when he got that submission locked on, 891 00:47:55.840 --> 00:47:57.800 and it's not like he's ever wrestled for them before. 892 00:47:57.840 --> 00:47:59.800 It's not like it's been established that this is his 893 00:48:00.079 --> 00:48:04.400 move sets and this is his finishing move, and people 894 00:48:04.440 --> 00:48:06.480 were popping for it, man, I mean they were fully 895 00:48:06.519 --> 00:48:08.719 into it. Gunn There eventually grabbed the bottom rope for 896 00:48:08.800 --> 00:48:12.360 the break. Gunther There got another sleeper, replied all this, 897 00:48:12.480 --> 00:48:15.440 though quickly reversed it to a big pop, and Gunther 898 00:48:15.519 --> 00:48:18.159 broke the hold with a Sayito suplex and then locked 899 00:48:18.199 --> 00:48:21.079 in yet another sleeper. This time he has him down 900 00:48:21.119 --> 00:48:23.400 on the mat and that's not the place to be. 901 00:48:24.079 --> 00:48:25.920 All this was able to fight up to his feet. 902 00:48:26.280 --> 00:48:29.280 Gunther takes him back down again and then eventually all 903 00:48:29.320 --> 00:48:34.480 this is forced to tap out. After Gunther left, they 904 00:48:35.039 --> 00:48:38.159 stopped the music and all this got to his feet, 905 00:48:38.880 --> 00:48:43.119 nice respectful ovation, standing ovation and applause from the crowd. 906 00:48:43.679 --> 00:48:47.239 Mickey comes into the ring along with young Donovan and 907 00:48:47.360 --> 00:48:50.280 we have a nice little family celebration in the middle 908 00:48:50.280 --> 00:48:52.360 of the ring. And again, you know, for the fans 909 00:48:52.400 --> 00:48:54.920 who want a chance. You still got it. You still 910 00:48:55.000 --> 00:48:57.320 got it. One thing that all this proved in the 911 00:48:57.400 --> 00:49:00.360 ring tonight, in this match, he never lost it. It's 912 00:49:00.400 --> 00:49:03.920 always been there. He was just waiting for the opportunity. 913 00:49:04.159 --> 00:49:06.360 If you watch the interview with Chris van Vlie, he 914 00:49:06.440 --> 00:49:09.239 got very emotional when he was talking about this match 915 00:49:09.440 --> 00:49:13.760 coming up and starts crying. He can barely speak, and 916 00:49:13.880 --> 00:49:16.760 he just says, after like a minute of not being 917 00:49:16.800 --> 00:49:20.440 able to speak, he just goes, this is in so 918 00:49:20.519 --> 00:49:23.440 many words, it was like, this is special, Like this match, 919 00:49:24.159 --> 00:49:27.599 this means a lot. He basically said, like, this is 920 00:49:27.679 --> 00:49:31.119 my shot. This is the shot he's been waiting for 921 00:49:31.400 --> 00:49:34.719 for years. He's getting it now. I don't know how 922 00:49:34.760 --> 00:49:37.079 old is he, thirty nine, forty, he's in that range. 923 00:49:37.719 --> 00:49:40.760 It took this long, but this was his shot. So again, 924 00:49:40.840 --> 00:49:43.480 him going out there and the presentation with the music 925 00:49:43.559 --> 00:49:46.280 and everything, and him coming out being in shape like 926 00:49:46.400 --> 00:49:50.119 that and towel around the neck, you know, the national treasure. 927 00:49:50.159 --> 00:49:52.840 Everything just had to be pitch perfect because he doesn't 928 00:49:52.920 --> 00:49:54.719 know when or if he's going to have another chance 929 00:49:54.760 --> 00:49:56.880 to go out there in WWE and do this. This 930 00:49:57.000 --> 00:50:00.760 may be it, you know, we don't know. Took him 931 00:50:00.760 --> 00:50:02.639 three years to get this guy in the ring. If 932 00:50:02.679 --> 00:50:04.960 this is gonna be the only shot he has, he 933 00:50:05.000 --> 00:50:07.559 wants to make the most of it. Well, he can 934 00:50:07.599 --> 00:50:10.760 be very proud of what he did today. There was 935 00:50:10.880 --> 00:50:13.400 nothing in this match that would lead you to believe 936 00:50:13.480 --> 00:50:15.679 that this man shouldn't be in the ring. He didn't 937 00:50:15.719 --> 00:50:20.000 embarrass himself, he didn't gas himself out, he didn't you know, 938 00:50:20.559 --> 00:50:22.519 slip on the ropes or I mean, there was nothing. 939 00:50:22.599 --> 00:50:26.920 Everything was Everything was pitch perfect. You know, when the 940 00:50:26.960 --> 00:50:29.079 match played out exactly the way I figured it would. 941 00:50:29.199 --> 00:50:30.840 You know, he got some hope spots in there, he 942 00:50:30.920 --> 00:50:32.719 had the crowd behind him. But in the end, gunther 943 00:50:32.800 --> 00:50:34.159 took him to the mat and he put him out 944 00:50:35.239 --> 00:50:37.079 because there was no other outcome here. I know, for 945 00:50:37.159 --> 00:50:41.079 the sake of like the story and making people happy. 946 00:50:41.800 --> 00:50:43.639 It would have been great to give him a happy 947 00:50:43.719 --> 00:50:46.559 moment with his family there. But what is that accomplish 948 00:50:46.639 --> 00:50:48.119 if he's just gonna go back in the suit and 949 00:50:48.199 --> 00:50:50.599 tie and become the GM again. And now you got 950 00:50:50.639 --> 00:50:54.079 gunther On SmackDown and it's like, okay, you've been beaten 951 00:50:54.159 --> 00:50:57.519 by the general manager of the show. Oh boy, that 952 00:50:57.679 --> 00:51:00.800 really helps Gunther, like there could be no their outcome here. 953 00:51:01.760 --> 00:51:04.559 It played out exactly the way that I expected it to, 954 00:51:04.719 --> 00:51:07.880 in the way that it should have now, I said 955 00:51:07.960 --> 00:51:12.039 earlier when the show went off the air for those 956 00:51:12.039 --> 00:51:14.920 of you who are joining late all this, confronted Triple 957 00:51:15.079 --> 00:51:17.400 H and tried to hand him a letter of resignation 958 00:51:17.880 --> 00:51:20.679 as the GM of SmackDown, and he said, look, I 959 00:51:21.000 --> 00:51:23.239 accept my fate. I may not be able to be 960 00:51:23.320 --> 00:51:26.639 the GM anymore because I wanted this match. It's been 961 00:51:27.280 --> 00:51:30.920 an honor and a privilege to serve. And Triple H said, 962 00:51:30.960 --> 00:51:34.239 not so fast. I'm reinstating you. So he is going 963 00:51:34.280 --> 00:51:37.159 to stay on as the GM of SmackDown, and we'll 964 00:51:37.159 --> 00:51:40.079 see if he wrestles again at some point, maybe a 965 00:51:40.199 --> 00:51:42.360 cameo and a rumble or something. I could see that, 966 00:51:44.000 --> 00:51:46.239 but it would be very awkward, you know, to have 967 00:51:46.320 --> 00:51:48.199 to shoot an angle every single time he's going to 968 00:51:48.280 --> 00:51:51.159 feud with this person or that person to you know, 969 00:51:51.400 --> 00:51:54.280 kind of pull him from the GM position. So if 970 00:51:54.320 --> 00:51:56.599 you got to make a decision, I think the right 971 00:51:56.679 --> 00:51:58.559 decision is to keep him in the GM spot. Now, 972 00:51:58.599 --> 00:52:00.639 as far as Gunther, who picked up the win, here, 973 00:52:02.079 --> 00:52:04.599 where does he go? Coming out of this, right, probably 974 00:52:04.719 --> 00:52:07.840 not the WWE title picture. Frankly, I don't really want 975 00:52:07.920 --> 00:52:09.760 him in the title picture. Been there done that. We 976 00:52:09.840 --> 00:52:12.199 already did that a few months ago. There is a 977 00:52:12.280 --> 00:52:14.840 number one contenders match coming up tomorrow in Night two 978 00:52:15.079 --> 00:52:17.719 between Sammy's A and Finn Balor that I believe Finn 979 00:52:17.800 --> 00:52:21.639 Balor is winning. I mentioned that last week, and so 980 00:52:22.079 --> 00:52:26.840 Gunther on Friday yesterday attack both of them, making it 981 00:52:26.960 --> 00:52:29.119 very clear that he wants to be the number one contender. 982 00:52:29.960 --> 00:52:32.719 That could be setting up something between Gunther and Finn 983 00:52:32.800 --> 00:52:35.519 Balor Balor if he wins. I mean, he may get 984 00:52:35.559 --> 00:52:37.960 his title match first, but like coming out of that, 985 00:52:38.719 --> 00:52:41.880 I would love to see something with Baler and Gunther. Right, 986 00:52:42.199 --> 00:52:44.880 they've had maybe one match before on TV on Raw 987 00:52:44.960 --> 00:52:47.159 many years ago, but they've never had a proper feud, 988 00:52:48.480 --> 00:52:51.559 so that could be. To me, that's actually the likely 989 00:52:51.679 --> 00:52:54.239 direction if I had a guess for Gunther as we 990 00:52:54.320 --> 00:52:59.760 go forward after this, we had more six person tagg 991 00:52:59.800 --> 00:53:03.800 team action. This was quite the departure from the one 992 00:53:03.880 --> 00:53:06.719 that we had earlier. This was the opposite of the 993 00:53:06.760 --> 00:53:10.880 six person tag we had earlier. This was fatal influence, 994 00:53:11.559 --> 00:53:13.880 J C. Jane and the women's tag team Champions fallon 995 00:53:13.960 --> 00:53:18.039 Henley and Lany Reid taking on Page and the now 996 00:53:18.119 --> 00:53:21.880 reunited Bella Twins now that Nikki Bella is back. This 997 00:53:22.159 --> 00:53:26.400 was a mess, That's what this was. This was a mess, 998 00:53:26.599 --> 00:53:30.519 and the crowd was quiet for most of it. But 999 00:53:30.639 --> 00:53:33.519 there was an early cannon ball outside the ring by J. C. 1000 00:53:33.719 --> 00:53:37.920 Jane to Bree Bella up against the ring steps, and 1001 00:53:38.000 --> 00:53:40.920 I'm pretty sure this is where she got hurt because 1002 00:53:41.079 --> 00:53:44.719 Brie immediately clutched her right shoulder. I don't know if 1003 00:53:44.760 --> 00:53:46.920 it was the shoulder the collar bone, but there was 1004 00:53:47.000 --> 00:53:54.280 some injury that took place. And yeah, how about it? 1005 00:53:55.519 --> 00:54:04.239 How about it? Venom Kaitetsu with the fourteen dollars super chet. See, 1006 00:54:04.280 --> 00:54:06.719 this is a very this is becoming a very popular one. 1007 00:54:08.039 --> 00:54:10.400 Sy guy is here. Thanks for the content, man, I 1008 00:54:10.559 --> 00:54:16.079 will thank you. I'm glad you enjoy it. But from 1009 00:54:16.119 --> 00:54:20.639 that cannonball spot, from that point forward, she kept clutching 1010 00:54:20.679 --> 00:54:22.800 that shoulder. She would not let go of it. It 1011 00:54:22.920 --> 00:54:25.480 was clearly bothering her for the rest of the match. 1012 00:54:26.639 --> 00:54:30.480 So whenever she tagged back in, she was basically useless 1013 00:54:31.039 --> 00:54:32.719 in the ring. She was like a one armed woman 1014 00:54:32.800 --> 00:54:35.039 in there. She couldn't do anything. She could barely take 1015 00:54:35.039 --> 00:54:37.400 any bump. She was trying to protect her arm. It 1016 00:54:37.519 --> 00:54:39.199 was very clear to me as a fan, as an 1017 00:54:39.199 --> 00:54:42.679 observer just watching at home, you know, on my fucking 1018 00:54:42.760 --> 00:54:45.960 iPad watching this show. I can't imagine that. You know, 1019 00:54:46.039 --> 00:54:47.880 there weren't people in the back who could tell that 1020 00:54:47.960 --> 00:54:51.960 she was hurt. You have two other women that are 1021 00:54:52.000 --> 00:54:55.280 on her team, and it's not like they were doing 1022 00:54:55.519 --> 00:54:59.679 any sort of like convoluted spots that well, we need Bree, like, 1023 00:55:00.639 --> 00:55:03.360 let her just tag out. Why was she still in 1024 00:55:03.440 --> 00:55:05.639 there doing stuff that she clearly was in no condition 1025 00:55:05.800 --> 00:55:08.800 to do. I don't know why she was able to 1026 00:55:08.840 --> 00:55:11.760 stay in the match, and the referee didn't just communicate 1027 00:55:11.840 --> 00:55:14.000 to her, like get out of the ring and let 1028 00:55:14.039 --> 00:55:17.440 the doctor go check on you. But there was an 1029 00:55:17.440 --> 00:55:20.280 embarrassing spot late where she was supposed to throw Jace 1030 00:55:20.440 --> 00:55:24.159 Jane out of the ring, but she couldn't do anything 1031 00:55:24.239 --> 00:55:26.800 except move out of the way, and Jace basically had 1032 00:55:26.840 --> 00:55:29.599 to throw herself out of the ring to the floor. 1033 00:55:30.960 --> 00:55:34.320 Page got a blind tag, caught Jace with a sunset 1034 00:55:34.400 --> 00:55:36.519 flip for a near fall, but then after a distraction, 1035 00:55:36.719 --> 00:55:39.480 Jace caught her with a rolling encore and she pinned 1036 00:55:39.519 --> 00:55:44.079 Page to win the match. So even though she lost 1037 00:55:44.159 --> 00:55:48.559 the match for her team, the Bella's, they embraced Page. 1038 00:55:48.719 --> 00:55:50.679 They said it's okay, and they gave her a hug. 1039 00:55:52.079 --> 00:55:56.000 And then when that was over, predictably, the Bella Twins 1040 00:55:56.159 --> 00:56:01.039 attacked Page and turned heel and the process, Bree threw 1041 00:56:01.199 --> 00:56:04.519 a few very weak kicks because that's really all she 1042 00:56:04.639 --> 00:56:07.679 could do. It was mostly just Nicky beating the crap 1043 00:56:07.760 --> 00:56:10.039 out of Page, and she dropped her with a rack attack. 1044 00:56:13.039 --> 00:56:15.440 Triple H announced that on the post show, Brie is 1045 00:56:15.519 --> 00:56:19.400 now injured. Well yeah, I mean, I didn't need Triple 1046 00:56:19.519 --> 00:56:21.400 H to tell me that. I could tell she was injured. 1047 00:56:22.360 --> 00:56:24.440 Hopefully it's not too serious. I don't like to see 1048 00:56:24.440 --> 00:56:27.360 anybody get hurt. But it was pretty clear, I mean, 1049 00:56:28.599 --> 00:56:30.800 ninety seconds or whatever it was into the match, it 1050 00:56:30.880 --> 00:56:35.440 was pretty clear. The shoulder Demon again I said, collar 1051 00:56:35.480 --> 00:56:38.360 bom potentially probably it looked like more of a shoulder injury. 1052 00:56:38.440 --> 00:56:40.760 The shoulder Demon, it looks like may have taken another 1053 00:56:40.800 --> 00:56:43.840 one tonight. He's been on vacation. We haven't heard from 1054 00:56:43.840 --> 00:56:47.480 the shoulder Demon in a while. I guess we were overdue. 1055 00:56:49.480 --> 00:56:52.679 But then after Nicki lays out Page and the Bellas 1056 00:56:52.719 --> 00:56:57.280 are leaving together, and Brie looks very upset. That was 1057 00:56:57.320 --> 00:57:00.599 the other giveaway, like she knew something was probably badly, 1058 00:57:01.079 --> 00:57:04.519 badly wrong. She didn't seem very happy about that. But 1059 00:57:05.119 --> 00:57:08.519 Nikki is just kind of like muttering to herself and 1060 00:57:08.760 --> 00:57:12.480 just talking out loud, and she says, don't ever take 1061 00:57:12.559 --> 00:57:17.559 my spot. And I'm like, it doesn't make any sense. 1062 00:57:18.199 --> 00:57:22.239 You're the one who chose Page to be in the 1063 00:57:22.320 --> 00:57:25.000 spot that was supposed to belong to you, but you 1064 00:57:25.119 --> 00:57:30.039 got hurt. You chose Page, you made the phone call 1065 00:57:30.840 --> 00:57:33.400 to bring her in, and that's why she won the 1066 00:57:33.440 --> 00:57:37.800 Tag team championships with your sister. How did she take 1067 00:57:37.880 --> 00:57:45.440 your spot? I mean, that's that's on. You didn't really 1068 00:57:45.480 --> 00:57:48.280 make a whole lot of sense to me. But I 1069 00:57:48.320 --> 00:57:51.079 don't know, man, I mean maybe it's a sign. You know, 1070 00:57:51.320 --> 00:57:54.679 one Bella gets hurt, she's gone for months, literally her 1071 00:57:54.760 --> 00:57:57.159 first match back, and her sister gets hurt, and she's 1072 00:57:57.199 --> 00:58:00.239 probably gonna be gone for weeks at a minim them 1073 00:58:01.079 --> 00:58:03.679 because it didn't look good. So I don't know what 1074 00:58:03.760 --> 00:58:05.519 that means now for whatever their plans are. You know, 1075 00:58:05.559 --> 00:58:08.599 there was somebody in the chat yesterday, I think on 1076 00:58:08.719 --> 00:58:13.599 the stream who suggested that maybe the direction is the 1077 00:58:13.639 --> 00:58:17.960 Bellas turned on Page. Page then brings in aj Lee. 1078 00:58:19.119 --> 00:58:22.519 You know her old friend aj Lee. They were tag 1079 00:58:22.559 --> 00:58:26.800 team partners at WrestleMania, weren't they WrestleMania thirty one, I believe, 1080 00:58:27.679 --> 00:58:30.920 And then we end up with Page and aj feuding 1081 00:58:30.960 --> 00:58:33.840 with the Bellas. I'm not sure who was asking for that, 1082 00:58:34.400 --> 00:58:37.199 but I said, yeah, you know what, I could see that. Well, 1083 00:58:38.320 --> 00:58:40.880 now what I'm not saying that was the plan. I'm 1084 00:58:40.920 --> 00:58:42.559 just saying I could see that being the plan. And 1085 00:58:42.719 --> 00:58:44.440 whatever the plan was for the Bella is, if you're 1086 00:58:44.519 --> 00:58:48.400 one Bella down, do they put Nicki on ice or 1087 00:58:48.519 --> 00:58:50.679 what do they do here? I don't know. It would 1088 00:58:50.719 --> 00:58:52.679 seem to me like we may get Paige and Nicki 1089 00:58:53.280 --> 00:58:57.079 in a one on one feud. Again. I don't know 1090 00:58:57.119 --> 00:59:01.320 if anyone is asking for this or itching to see this, 1091 00:59:01.519 --> 00:59:06.519 but they may not have a choice. Now. So already 1092 00:59:07.320 --> 00:59:11.920 it was time for the WWE Championship match. It was 1093 00:59:12.039 --> 00:59:16.039 Cody Rhodes challenging Cmpunk and I have to show you 1094 00:59:16.159 --> 00:59:20.599 this image because Cody had a very special end. Now, 1095 00:59:20.639 --> 00:59:23.199 for those of you who don't know Cody Roads is 1096 00:59:23.239 --> 00:59:25.519 going to be in a movie coming out in October, 1097 00:59:25.519 --> 00:59:28.239 a little movie called street Fighter. Roman Rains is in 1098 00:59:28.280 --> 00:59:32.199 that same movie. Roman Rains plays a Kuma and Cody 1099 00:59:32.320 --> 00:59:37.119 is going to play Gile. I saw the Mortal Kombat movie. Well, 1100 00:59:37.159 --> 00:59:38.800 I saw Mortal Kombat two when it came out a 1101 00:59:38.840 --> 00:59:40.800 few months ago, and I enjoyed it. I thought it 1102 00:59:40.840 --> 00:59:43.800 was a fun movie. I will see street Fighter. I 1103 00:59:43.920 --> 00:59:46.079 saw the trailer for it. It looks like dumb fun. 1104 00:59:47.000 --> 00:59:49.320 I was a big Street Fighter fan, you know, back 1105 00:59:49.360 --> 00:59:52.280 in the day, and played street Fighter two, Turbo and 1106 00:59:52.400 --> 00:59:55.519 some of the other ones. And they took the graphics 1107 00:59:55.599 --> 00:59:57.800 for this intro here right out of Street Fighter two 1108 00:59:58.559 --> 01:00:01.800 because they had a like a main menu screen and 1109 01:00:01.840 --> 01:00:04.360 then it went to your character select screen, which is 1110 01:00:04.440 --> 01:00:06.920 what you see right now. I actually thought this was 1111 01:00:07.039 --> 01:00:09.840 very cool. I love this retro shit. I mean, you 1112 01:00:09.920 --> 01:00:11.800 look at the intro I use for the stream tonight, 1113 01:00:13.119 --> 01:00:15.400 can't you tell. I'm a big fan of the eight 1114 01:00:15.480 --> 01:00:18.639 bit days, so they put this up. But I was 1115 01:00:18.719 --> 01:00:21.360 looking at the character selection screen, which I will draw 1116 01:00:21.400 --> 01:00:25.000 your attention to right now, and obviously here they chose 1117 01:00:25.159 --> 01:00:27.480 Cody Rhoades and see I'm punk and that was cool. 1118 01:00:27.519 --> 01:00:30.000 But look at the other characters that they included here. 1119 01:00:30.960 --> 01:00:33.400 And I'm looking at this and I see Javon Evans 1120 01:00:33.480 --> 01:00:36.519 is there, and Jade car Gill is there. There's Gun there. 1121 01:00:36.559 --> 01:00:40.559 There's Dan Housen because a fucking course he's everywhere. And 1122 01:00:40.679 --> 01:00:43.079 there's Cody and Becky and Sammy and Ray. And then 1123 01:00:43.119 --> 01:00:48.519 I'm like, is that is that Ricky? Is that Ricky Saints? 1124 01:00:50.159 --> 01:00:54.159 I believe it is? And I thought to myself, that 1125 01:00:54.440 --> 01:00:58.760 was totally Cody. Now what makes sense why Ricky Saints 1126 01:00:58.800 --> 01:01:01.559 would be in there? It was Cody's entrance. I'm sure 1127 01:01:01.639 --> 01:01:03.280 Cody was like, Hey, you know what, let's get Let's 1128 01:01:03.280 --> 01:01:05.519 get my boy Ricky in there. He's not getting a 1129 01:01:05.559 --> 01:01:10.000 lot of love on TV these days, so let's get 1130 01:01:10.039 --> 01:01:12.559 Ricky in there. I'll tell you what, though, if this 1131 01:01:13.280 --> 01:01:15.559 I would play the shit out of this game. If 1132 01:01:15.599 --> 01:01:20.320 this was real, I would I'd be all over. That 1133 01:01:24.199 --> 01:01:27.480 gives me TJ. Perkins vibes. If anyone remembers out here, 1134 01:01:27.480 --> 01:01:36.480 I do remember that, yes, old TJP. So Cody comes 1135 01:01:36.559 --> 01:01:42.559 out and he is wearing his skull mask, but the 1136 01:01:42.639 --> 01:01:47.800 skull mask has like gile hair attached to it, or 1137 01:01:47.840 --> 01:01:49.840 it was part of the mask or whatever, because that's 1138 01:01:49.880 --> 01:01:53.199 the character he plays in the movie. This whole thing. 1139 01:01:53.519 --> 01:01:56.679 Cody just sort of appeared on the stage, got like 1140 01:01:56.840 --> 01:01:59.880 no reaction. The crowd was very very quiet for all this, 1141 01:02:01.960 --> 01:02:04.280 which is kind of the way they were for Cody, honestly. 1142 01:02:04.360 --> 01:02:07.239 As he came to the ring, then we got to 1143 01:02:07.239 --> 01:02:11.679 see him Punk entrance and they followed him the long 1144 01:02:11.960 --> 01:02:15.199 walk through the back and through Gorilla and then out 1145 01:02:15.280 --> 01:02:17.880 onto the stage no music. They did the same thing 1146 01:02:17.920 --> 01:02:22.440 at WrestleMania this year, and the camera's behind Punk, so 1147 01:02:22.559 --> 01:02:24.599 you see his back and then you kind of look 1148 01:02:24.639 --> 01:02:28.599 out into all the vast sea of fans right thirty 1149 01:02:28.639 --> 01:02:31.239 seven thousand or whatever they have there, and then the 1150 01:02:31.360 --> 01:02:33.840 music kicks in and then he makes his way down 1151 01:02:33.880 --> 01:02:38.159 to the ring. I would say that nearly nearly the 1152 01:02:38.239 --> 01:02:40.639 first half of them. I can't even say quarter of 1153 01:02:40.679 --> 01:02:42.639 the match. I would say close to the first like 1154 01:02:43.320 --> 01:02:49.320 half of the match. Very slow, very dull, very plodding 1155 01:02:49.679 --> 01:02:53.440 at times. But they knew they were working thirty minutes, 1156 01:02:54.159 --> 01:02:56.880 and so they started slow, and the idea was to build. 1157 01:02:57.599 --> 01:02:59.480 And I'm not saying it doesn't make sense. They were 1158 01:02:59.519 --> 01:03:02.800 working body parts and sometimes in matches like this, when 1159 01:03:02.840 --> 01:03:05.079 you take the time to work a body part and 1160 01:03:05.159 --> 01:03:08.960 to work a limb, psychologically, it might make sense and 1161 01:03:09.000 --> 01:03:10.760 it might factor into things that are going to happen 1162 01:03:10.840 --> 01:03:12.639 later on in the match, but in the moment it 1163 01:03:12.719 --> 01:03:15.960 can be pretty fucking boring. And that's what this match was. 1164 01:03:16.920 --> 01:03:20.559 Long stretches of just nothing where they're just working over 1165 01:03:20.639 --> 01:03:23.440 a body part and then they get you know, kind 1166 01:03:23.440 --> 01:03:25.159 of shunned away, and then they go back to it again. 1167 01:03:25.239 --> 01:03:28.039 They repeat the same spot over again, dragon screw or 1168 01:03:28.559 --> 01:03:31.000 you know, whatever the case may be. So with Cody, 1169 01:03:31.119 --> 01:03:34.679 it was Punk working over Cody's left arm, and then 1170 01:03:34.920 --> 01:03:39.599 Cody started working over Punk's left knee. So finally things 1171 01:03:39.639 --> 01:03:41.800 started to pick up a little bit here because I 1172 01:03:41.880 --> 01:03:44.880 was getting very restless as I'm watching this match, and 1173 01:03:44.960 --> 01:03:47.480 it's time for Cody to go to sleep. All right, 1174 01:03:47.559 --> 01:03:49.719 now we're going Now we're going into the finisher spam 1175 01:03:49.880 --> 01:03:52.880 phase of the match here. They didn't go too too 1176 01:03:53.000 --> 01:03:56.000 hard on that, but he went for the GTS. Cody 1177 01:03:56.079 --> 01:03:58.800 elbows his way out of it, still favoring the arm. 1178 01:03:59.079 --> 01:04:02.199 He goes for the Cody he drops. Punk goes for 1179 01:04:02.320 --> 01:04:05.159 the pin to count only so Cody follows that with 1180 01:04:05.280 --> 01:04:09.480 the disaster kick for another near fall. Now he's setting 1181 01:04:09.559 --> 01:04:13.960 up for a super Cody Cutter and he nails it 1182 01:04:14.360 --> 01:04:18.199 and he covers again. Punk kicks out, So now he's 1183 01:04:18.239 --> 01:04:22.239 teasing the crossroads and you could hear fans booing. They 1184 01:04:22.280 --> 01:04:26.000 certainly weren't cheering. There were definitely booze that were noticeable. 1185 01:04:27.039 --> 01:04:31.519 Punk avoids the attempt Schoolboy only for two. Punk goes 1186 01:04:31.559 --> 01:04:33.800 for a GTS. Cody, though, catches the leg on the 1187 01:04:33.840 --> 01:04:36.360 way down and he gets punked down and he locks 1188 01:04:36.400 --> 01:04:39.000 on the figure four leg lock and he's been working 1189 01:04:39.039 --> 01:04:41.800 over the leg, he's been working over the knee, so 1190 01:04:41.920 --> 01:04:43.719 now he's going to the figure four and when he 1191 01:04:43.760 --> 01:04:46.440 gets the figure four applied, now the crowd is starting 1192 01:04:46.480 --> 01:04:48.960 to come alive. Now the crowd is responding and they're 1193 01:04:48.960 --> 01:04:53.039 starting to really get into it here. And Punk is 1194 01:04:53.079 --> 01:04:55.360 screaming and he's trying to reverse out of the hold, 1195 01:04:55.440 --> 01:04:59.679 and finally he's able to roll over and he forces 1196 01:04:59.719 --> 01:05:03.000 a row break. So Cody went forward again. Punk pulled 1197 01:05:03.079 --> 01:05:04.760 him forward though I thought he was pulling him forward 1198 01:05:04.800 --> 01:05:07.800 into a small package, but he transitioned into the Anacon 1199 01:05:07.920 --> 01:05:12.000 device and Cody very easily gets his foot on the 1200 01:05:12.039 --> 01:05:15.480 bottom up to force the break. So then Cody, this 1201 01:05:15.639 --> 01:05:17.559 was kind of a weird spot. Cody gets him up 1202 01:05:17.719 --> 01:05:21.960 in an Alabama Slam position. I'm like, oh, he's hearkening 1203 01:05:22.039 --> 01:05:24.519 back to his tag team days with Hardcore Holly. Here. 1204 01:05:25.280 --> 01:05:28.000 It's like when Steve Austin was feuding with Brett and 1205 01:05:28.840 --> 01:05:31.880 he was still using the million dollar dream that he 1206 01:05:31.960 --> 01:05:35.440 took from Ted Dbiassi. So he gets him in position 1207 01:05:35.519 --> 01:05:38.400 for the Alabama Slam, which I guess now is it's 1208 01:05:38.440 --> 01:05:42.840 Tiffany Shratton's move, so can't use it now because it's 1209 01:05:42.880 --> 01:05:46.280 her move. But instead of giving him an Alabama Slam, 1210 01:05:46.599 --> 01:05:49.719 he starts spinning and he gives him an airplane spin 1211 01:05:51.280 --> 01:05:53.440 and I'm not sure why. I mean, the airplane spin 1212 01:05:53.880 --> 01:05:56.599 spot was always funny to me because you make yourself 1213 01:05:56.800 --> 01:05:59.840 just as dizzy. But he gives him an airplane spin 1214 01:06:00.639 --> 01:06:03.400 and then Punk just transitioned out of it and back 1215 01:06:03.440 --> 01:06:05.199 into the Anacon device. So it was kind of a 1216 01:06:05.239 --> 01:06:07.159 stupid spot and I'm not really sure what the point 1217 01:06:07.199 --> 01:06:09.719 of that was. But he got out of it. He 1218 01:06:09.880 --> 01:06:12.719 drops Punk with the Crossroads. He covered him, Punk kicked out, 1219 01:06:13.559 --> 01:06:17.400 and he got a big pot for doing so. So 1220 01:06:17.480 --> 01:06:20.480 Now Cody is standing over Punk and he reaches down 1221 01:06:20.519 --> 01:06:22.239 to pick him up, and he places Punk on the 1222 01:06:22.280 --> 01:06:24.760 top rope and Cody follows him up. Punk, they'll fights 1223 01:06:24.800 --> 01:06:26.639 him off, and he back elbows him all the way 1224 01:06:26.679 --> 01:06:30.079 down to the map. And then CM Punk is on 1225 01:06:30.119 --> 01:06:33.199 the ropes and he's looking back at Cody and I'm like, hmm, 1226 01:06:34.480 --> 01:06:36.840 what's he gonna do here? Is he gonna go for 1227 01:06:36.960 --> 01:06:40.239 his top rope elbow? I mean, what are we about 1228 01:06:40.239 --> 01:06:45.480 to see here? CM Punk, at forty eight years old, decides, 1229 01:06:45.559 --> 01:06:47.719 you know what, you know what I've never done in 1230 01:06:47.800 --> 01:06:50.480 my career. You know, this would be a really good 1231 01:06:50.519 --> 01:06:56.840 time to debut a new move off the top rope. Now, 1232 01:06:57.039 --> 01:06:58.639 I could sit here and lie to you and tell 1233 01:06:58.679 --> 01:07:01.000 you that, oh, CM Punk went or a spiral tap, 1234 01:07:01.159 --> 01:07:05.039 or he went for a fucking phoenix splash, and that 1235 01:07:05.079 --> 01:07:08.880 would have been pretty crazy. This was just as crazy, though. 1236 01:07:09.719 --> 01:07:13.840 He went for a moon salt. Now. The closest thing 1237 01:07:13.920 --> 01:07:16.119 I could compare it to is when Terry Funk would 1238 01:07:16.119 --> 01:07:17.880 do those moon salts and they were kind of crooked, 1239 01:07:18.360 --> 01:07:22.639 like they never looked pretty right, but he would hit them. Cempunk. 1240 01:07:23.880 --> 01:07:25.840 I guess maybe he went for his own vert because 1241 01:07:25.840 --> 01:07:27.440 we know he's a big Terry Funk fan. He went 1242 01:07:27.519 --> 01:07:29.280 for his own version, I guess, of a Terry Funk 1243 01:07:29.360 --> 01:07:31.199 moon salt. It was very clear to me that he 1244 01:07:31.280 --> 01:07:34.360 had never even tried this with like a crash pad 1245 01:07:34.480 --> 01:07:37.360 or anything like that. I mean, it wouldn't shock me 1246 01:07:37.400 --> 01:07:39.039 if right before they went out there he's like, Hey, 1247 01:07:39.039 --> 01:07:42.159 you know what, I think I'm gonna try a moon salt. Yeah, 1248 01:07:43.760 --> 01:07:47.119 he almost killed Cody on the way down. Cody was 1249 01:07:47.159 --> 01:07:51.559 able to like narrowly avoid Punk landing on top of 1250 01:07:51.639 --> 01:07:54.519 his head. That's how far off the mark Punk was. 1251 01:07:55.159 --> 01:07:57.360 And even in doing the moon salt. Like I when 1252 01:07:57.400 --> 01:07:58.880 I tell you that he did a moon salt, in 1253 01:07:59.000 --> 01:08:01.119 your head, you probably picked him doing a moon salt 1254 01:08:01.159 --> 01:08:04.599 and just missing. No. I can't even describe to you 1255 01:08:05.639 --> 01:08:08.679 like the direction that his body went in as he 1256 01:08:08.719 --> 01:08:11.679 attempted this move. It was the worst moon salt that 1257 01:08:11.800 --> 01:08:14.920 I have ever seen in my entire life. I've never 1258 01:08:15.000 --> 01:08:16.840 seen it, truly, I cannot, off the top of my 1259 01:08:16.920 --> 01:08:19.760 head remember ever in my life seeing a moon salt 1260 01:08:19.840 --> 01:08:23.960 worse than this. And I use that word moonsalt very lightly, 1261 01:08:24.039 --> 01:08:25.560 by the way, I'm not sure what else to call it. 1262 01:08:26.359 --> 01:08:28.039 If I don't call it a moon salt, I wouldn't 1263 01:08:28.039 --> 01:08:30.279 even know what else to call it. But yes, he 1264 01:08:30.399 --> 01:08:33.079 nearly killed himself. He nearly killed Cody. I'm sure his 1265 01:08:33.199 --> 01:08:36.560 life flashed before his eyes. The first thing I thought 1266 01:08:36.600 --> 01:08:40.479 of was the Bart Simpson meme, right with the birthday cake. 1267 01:08:40.479 --> 01:08:45.319 At least you tried. At least you tried. I wish 1268 01:08:45.399 --> 01:08:48.319 he hadn't. That's a very dumb thing for him to try. 1269 01:08:48.439 --> 01:08:50.920 It's like Seth Rollins a crown jewel last year, Seth 1270 01:08:51.000 --> 01:08:54.199 Rollins of the World Heavyweight Champion, and he's wrestling Cody 1271 01:08:54.239 --> 01:08:55.640 and he's like, he's going to do a coast to 1272 01:08:55.720 --> 01:08:59.000 coast but it's not enough to do a regular coast 1273 01:08:59.039 --> 01:09:00.960 to coast drop kick. He has to do a coast 1274 01:09:01.000 --> 01:09:06.279 to coast headbutt, which sounds really fucking stupid because you're 1275 01:09:06.359 --> 01:09:09.399 really putting yourself in danger when you land, and just 1276 01:09:09.479 --> 01:09:11.600 you got to brace yourself just the right way. And 1277 01:09:11.680 --> 01:09:13.359 so what did he do? He landed on his shoulder. 1278 01:09:13.399 --> 01:09:18.239 He blew shoulder out. Now you have to vacate the championship. 1279 01:09:19.079 --> 01:09:23.239 You're out for months. Storylines go out the window. WrestleMania 1280 01:09:23.319 --> 01:09:25.239 this year would have looked very different had seth not 1281 01:09:25.319 --> 01:09:28.279 gotten hurt all because he had to do a move 1282 01:09:28.359 --> 01:09:32.359 that I've never seen him do before, and Punk's even 1283 01:09:32.359 --> 01:09:41.439 older than him. Don't do that again. The unk Salt? 1284 01:09:42.039 --> 01:09:43.760 Is that what you could call it? The unk salt? 1285 01:09:45.359 --> 01:09:51.640 A cartwheel off the top? Yeah, a sidewinder. He's lucky 1286 01:09:51.680 --> 01:09:54.640 he didn't hurt himself. I mean, seriously, you're the fucking champion, dude. 1287 01:09:54.880 --> 01:10:00.680 The entire brand is now built around cm Punk. Let 1288 01:10:00.760 --> 01:10:03.079 me go do a moon stone. My grandmother could do 1289 01:10:03.159 --> 01:10:05.319 a better moon salt than him, Okay, and she's been 1290 01:10:05.399 --> 01:10:11.640 dead for twenty five years. Don't do that again. So 1291 01:10:11.760 --> 01:10:14.960 then there was a GTS attempt and he nailed it, 1292 01:10:15.319 --> 01:10:17.720 but Punk hurt his knee on the on the landing right, 1293 01:10:17.760 --> 01:10:22.239 he Cody's head collided with Punk's left knee, which is 1294 01:10:22.279 --> 01:10:25.039 the knee that was being worked over earlier, so took 1295 01:10:25.119 --> 01:10:27.119 him a few extra seconds, but he crawled over to 1296 01:10:27.159 --> 01:10:31.560 make the cover, and when he did, Cody kicked out 1297 01:10:33.079 --> 01:10:35.640 and Cody rolled out to the floor and Punk followed 1298 01:10:35.960 --> 01:10:38.439 him outside. He bounces him off the Spanish announced desk 1299 01:10:38.479 --> 01:10:41.039 a few times, and Punk then clears off the desk. 1300 01:10:41.119 --> 01:10:43.159 He climbs on top of it. Cody, though, sweeps the 1301 01:10:43.239 --> 01:10:48.039 lake and then he sends Punk very weakly into the ring. 1302 01:10:48.119 --> 01:10:51.359 Steps Cody suddenly realized that, like he hears Charles Robinson 1303 01:10:51.399 --> 01:10:53.520 is up to like eight. He's like, oh shit, So 1304 01:10:53.680 --> 01:10:56.359 he rolls into the ring very quickly to break break 1305 01:10:56.439 --> 01:10:59.680 the count, and then he rolls back out to the 1306 01:10:59.720 --> 01:11:03.039 floor or he takes a part the English announced desk, 1307 01:11:03.600 --> 01:11:06.359 but he rolls Punk back into the ring instead, and 1308 01:11:06.520 --> 01:11:09.000 when Cody follows him in, Punk hoists him up for 1309 01:11:09.079 --> 01:11:13.079 another GTS and he covers him and Punk grabs the 1310 01:11:13.119 --> 01:11:15.720 bottom rope to save the match. So back out to 1311 01:11:15.800 --> 01:11:17.920 the floor they go. Punk lays him flat on top 1312 01:11:18.000 --> 01:11:19.760 of the announced desk and then he turns and he 1313 01:11:19.840 --> 01:11:22.920 stares at the top rope and I'm like, did you 1314 01:11:23.000 --> 01:11:25.479 not learn your lesson after the fucking moon salt that 1315 01:11:25.560 --> 01:11:29.279 we just saw? So he thinks he's Logan Paul now 1316 01:11:29.399 --> 01:11:31.560 and he goes into the ring. I think he did 1317 01:11:31.600 --> 01:11:34.680 this to Roman at WrestleMania. The one thing I look, 1318 01:11:34.720 --> 01:11:38.880 you got to say this about Punk, Okay, all due credit, 1319 01:11:39.840 --> 01:11:41.840 he doesn't hold back in these matches. It would be 1320 01:11:41.960 --> 01:11:43.960 very easy for him to just play it safe and 1321 01:11:44.039 --> 01:11:47.399 don't do anything too risky, right, because just coast on 1322 01:11:47.560 --> 01:11:49.239 my name and people look at a cheer for me 1323 01:11:49.359 --> 01:11:52.199 no matter what I do. But he's out there doing 1324 01:11:52.279 --> 01:11:56.279 fucking moon salts. He's doing diving elbows from the top 1325 01:11:56.399 --> 01:11:59.960 rope through the announced desk. He's tempting fate every time 1326 01:12:00.199 --> 01:12:03.560 he does this, but he certainly doesn't hold back. So 1327 01:12:03.760 --> 01:12:08.600 he climbs up to the top rope and he dives 1328 01:12:08.680 --> 01:12:12.119 for the elbow. Cody, though, rolls off the desk and 1329 01:12:12.680 --> 01:12:17.680 Punk took this horrible bump just crashing through the desk. 1330 01:12:17.800 --> 01:12:20.560 He took it mostly knees first, which I think was 1331 01:12:20.600 --> 01:12:23.800 the idea because Michael Cole on commentary just wouldn't shut 1332 01:12:23.880 --> 01:12:25.680 up now, like, oh, he landed on the bad knee. 1333 01:12:25.720 --> 01:12:28.479 He landed on the bad knee, even though he really 1334 01:12:28.600 --> 01:12:31.439 landed on the right knee more so than the left one. 1335 01:12:31.560 --> 01:12:34.399 But I guess he had that in his notes, So 1336 01:12:34.800 --> 01:12:37.000 that was the idea anyway, that he landed on the 1337 01:12:37.039 --> 01:12:39.439 bad knee. But I mean, that was just it was 1338 01:12:39.600 --> 01:12:42.520 just a fucking terrible landing. It looked like it sucked. 1339 01:12:43.399 --> 01:12:45.399 So Cody very quickly gets him back in the ring 1340 01:12:45.479 --> 01:12:48.119 and he goes for a super Cody cutter. Punk, though, 1341 01:12:48.199 --> 01:12:52.239 moves out of the way and Cody collides with Charles Robinson. 1342 01:12:53.640 --> 01:12:57.640 Poor little nature. How old is he now? God, he's 1343 01:12:57.680 --> 01:13:01.079 been around forever. He's great. He's got to be at 1344 01:13:01.159 --> 01:13:07.560 least sixty though, mid sixties, maybe got to be around 1345 01:13:07.600 --> 01:13:10.159 sixty ish. He'll always be a little nature to me though, 1346 01:13:11.039 --> 01:13:14.279 no matter how old he gets. So I don't know 1347 01:13:14.279 --> 01:13:16.000 if the idea was that Cody was going to like 1348 01:13:16.079 --> 01:13:18.479 drop him with the cutter. He didn't really hit him 1349 01:13:18.479 --> 01:13:20.119 with the cutter. He just sort of collided with him, 1350 01:13:20.520 --> 01:13:22.439 and that's really all he needed to do. And so 1351 01:13:22.640 --> 01:13:26.239 down goes Charles Robinson. Punk then gets Cody yup for 1352 01:13:26.279 --> 01:13:29.720 another go to sleep Cody. He hits it. Cody staggers 1353 01:13:29.840 --> 01:13:33.800 backwards into the ropes, bounces off and just falls back 1354 01:13:33.880 --> 01:13:37.439 on top of punk shoulders. So he's going to go 1355 01:13:37.560 --> 01:13:41.960 for another GTS this time, though, Cody slips out and 1356 01:13:42.079 --> 01:13:46.039 he hits the crossroads and Punk rolls out to the floor. 1357 01:13:47.079 --> 01:13:49.800 He's got the presence of mind to roll out to 1358 01:13:49.880 --> 01:13:59.880 the floor. We have he's sixty two sixty one, all right, Yeah, 1359 01:13:59.880 --> 01:14:02.720 he's somewhere in that ring. Robinson is either sixty one 1360 01:14:02.840 --> 01:14:04.960 or sixty two. God bless him, man, he's still out 1361 01:14:05.000 --> 01:14:09.960 there doing it. Truly, one of the nice guys in wrestling. 1362 01:14:10.000 --> 01:14:12.399 You will not find anyone to say a bad word 1363 01:14:12.439 --> 01:14:15.159 about him. Yeah. What I also think is cool about 1364 01:14:15.279 --> 01:14:21.640 Charles Robinson. He is a big collector of horror memorabilia. 1365 01:14:22.199 --> 01:14:24.680 He's got like a bunch of it in his basement, 1366 01:14:25.800 --> 01:14:29.560 and I think that's pretty cool. I think he and 1367 01:14:29.600 --> 01:14:32.800 I would get along very well. Would love to say 1368 01:14:32.800 --> 01:14:34.560 I would love to see what his collection looks like. 1369 01:14:36.239 --> 01:14:39.479 But Punk rolls out to the floor, So you knew 1370 01:14:39.520 --> 01:14:42.479 something was about to go down because the ref got bumped. 1371 01:14:42.960 --> 01:14:47.399 Punk just rolled out to the floor, and here's Randy Orton. 1372 01:14:48.640 --> 01:14:50.319 I know why I sounded like meat Loaf there for 1373 01:14:50.399 --> 01:14:54.119 a second. Randy Orton that still lives rent free in 1374 01:14:54.199 --> 01:14:59.199 my head. God, when Meatloaf was unraw. Randy Orton hits 1375 01:14:59.239 --> 01:15:03.760 the ring. The reports were true. Is anybody gonna give 1376 01:15:03.840 --> 01:15:06.680 Uncle Dave credit for that? Of course not. But he 1377 01:15:06.760 --> 01:15:10.119 gets into the ring, Cody turns around and Randy Orton 1378 01:15:10.199 --> 01:15:14.239 drops him with an RKO out of nowhere, and then 1379 01:15:15.319 --> 01:15:17.640 Orton looks into the hardcam when he gets up, gives 1380 01:15:17.680 --> 01:15:20.720 it a little wink and then he slips out of 1381 01:15:20.720 --> 01:15:26.600 the ring and back into the crowd and Charles Robinson 1382 01:15:27.039 --> 01:15:31.000 rolls back into the ring. CM Punk rolls back into 1383 01:15:31.079 --> 01:15:34.159 the ring none the wiser. He has no idea what 1384 01:15:34.319 --> 01:15:38.439 just happened. He didn't see any of this and gts 1385 01:15:38.560 --> 01:15:44.039 to Cody covers him. Here comes Robinson one two and three, 1386 01:15:44.960 --> 01:15:47.880 and CM Punk retains the World Heavyweight Champion or the 1387 01:15:48.039 --> 01:15:52.199 w W Championship. I should say, got my titles mixed up. 1388 01:15:53.079 --> 01:15:55.640 You know, Punk was the World Heavyweight Champion earlier this year. 1389 01:15:58.119 --> 01:16:00.640 So what we ended up with here, no post match angle, 1390 01:16:00.800 --> 01:16:04.600 which was a little surprising obviously, no turn, no heel 1391 01:16:04.640 --> 01:16:07.880 turn for Cody or anybody. Really the match itself, it 1392 01:16:07.960 --> 01:16:12.600 started out very slow, but it built nicely and the 1393 01:16:12.680 --> 01:16:16.960 crowd really locked in there for that final stretch. I 1394 01:16:17.000 --> 01:16:18.680 don't know how long it was. I mean the final 1395 01:16:18.880 --> 01:16:21.720 like five or six minutes at least. They were really 1396 01:16:21.800 --> 01:16:24.560 locked in. They were hanging on to the near falls. Again. Punk, 1397 01:16:24.720 --> 01:16:27.680 he just threw it all out there, man, that moon salt, 1398 01:16:28.159 --> 01:16:31.680 the diving elbow Cody. I guess Cody really didn't do 1399 01:16:31.760 --> 01:16:36.520 anything two out of the ordinary, and they ended up 1400 01:16:36.560 --> 01:16:38.520 having a good match. It really did feel like the 1401 01:16:38.680 --> 01:16:41.720 first It felt like they were holding back in some respects. 1402 01:16:41.760 --> 01:16:44.079 Even though they went thirty minutes or almost thirty minutes, 1403 01:16:44.560 --> 01:16:46.159 it was still the first match, and you have to 1404 01:16:46.199 --> 01:16:47.920 imagine they're going to run this back at least one 1405 01:16:48.000 --> 01:16:49.560 more time. I don't know if it'll end up being 1406 01:16:49.600 --> 01:16:51.960 a whole series where they do three or four of them, 1407 01:16:52.159 --> 01:16:53.720 or if we're not going to see this again until 1408 01:16:53.720 --> 01:16:56.560 WrestleMania in Saudi next year, right, and they just sort 1409 01:16:56.600 --> 01:16:58.039 of get away from it for a while, which I 1410 01:16:58.039 --> 01:17:02.279 think is very possible because obviously, you know, we have 1411 01:17:03.359 --> 01:17:05.840 Cody taking the loss here, which is the right outcome. 1412 01:17:05.880 --> 01:17:09.000 By the way, there is a very real thing called 1413 01:17:09.119 --> 01:17:12.159 Cody fatigue. I know many of you have been feeling 1414 01:17:12.199 --> 01:17:14.720 it already for many months, even before I started feeling it, 1415 01:17:15.720 --> 01:17:17.880 and now a lot more people are feeling it. And 1416 01:17:18.840 --> 01:17:21.600 it's good to have a break from him as the champion. 1417 01:17:22.239 --> 01:17:24.800 He doesn't need the belt. Cody's already a made guy 1418 01:17:24.840 --> 01:17:27.359 in this company. He finished his story. He's been the 1419 01:17:27.439 --> 01:17:30.720 champion three or four times now, and it's okay to 1420 01:17:31.680 --> 01:17:33.560 I mean, he'll still be He'll always be in the mix. 1421 01:17:34.479 --> 01:17:37.079 You know, he's not going to be feuding with Baron 1422 01:17:37.159 --> 01:17:39.920 Corbin in the mid card, but he doesn't need the title. 1423 01:17:41.279 --> 01:17:43.840 You know, there's just a sameness to it after a while. 1424 01:17:45.039 --> 01:17:47.560 He's not stone cold Steve Austin at the height of 1425 01:17:47.600 --> 01:17:50.000 his popularity in the Attitude era, where you can get 1426 01:17:50.039 --> 01:17:52.600 away with keeping the belt on him because he's super 1427 01:17:52.720 --> 01:17:55.640 over even someone like him. Rock At Austin, they never 1428 01:17:55.760 --> 01:17:58.760 had any long title reigns. They were constantly being beaten 1429 01:17:59.319 --> 01:18:02.520 and having the title taken away from them and being screwed. 1430 01:18:02.560 --> 01:18:05.199 Because the money is in the chase, and so if 1431 01:18:05.239 --> 01:18:07.000 the fans want to see Cody chase for the belt, 1432 01:18:07.000 --> 01:18:10.239 they'll let you know that. Right now, the crowds, they're 1433 01:18:10.279 --> 01:18:13.159 not responding the same way to Cody as they wore 1434 01:18:13.239 --> 01:18:15.720 six months ago. You can hear it. You can hear 1435 01:18:15.800 --> 01:18:18.640 it each week on SmackDown, right, he gets cheered, but 1436 01:18:18.720 --> 01:18:21.439 it's not like as vociferously as it might have been 1437 01:18:21.680 --> 01:18:24.199 a year ago. And now Punk is the new guy 1438 01:18:24.239 --> 01:18:26.680 on SmackDown. He's going to be your top babyface. Now. 1439 01:18:28.239 --> 01:18:31.800 Cody now moves into a non title feud seemingly with 1440 01:18:32.039 --> 01:18:35.000 Randy Orton, And as far as my thoughts on that, 1441 01:18:35.600 --> 01:18:38.239 as I said earlier, they did a lot of damage 1442 01:18:38.319 --> 01:18:41.000 for me anyway, as someone who is really looking forward 1443 01:18:41.000 --> 01:18:43.399 to that match or wrestle many of this year. The 1444 01:18:43.720 --> 01:18:48.760 whole inclusion of McAfee and the departure from the whole 1445 01:18:49.039 --> 01:18:52.319 just departure from what the story was supposed to be 1446 01:18:52.479 --> 01:18:56.720 to what they ended up doing, really soured me on it. 1447 01:18:58.079 --> 01:19:01.520 But now months have gone by, McAfee is a distant memory, 1448 01:19:02.399 --> 01:19:05.039 and they're gonna try again with Cody and Randy. They're 1449 01:19:05.039 --> 01:19:07.560 gonna pick things back up. They're going to resume things. 1450 01:19:07.720 --> 01:19:10.560 I understand it because the way they left it the 1451 01:19:10.680 --> 01:19:12.439 last time we saw Orton, he kicked this guy in 1452 01:19:12.479 --> 01:19:14.479 the head. He punted him in the head. So why 1453 01:19:14.560 --> 01:19:17.680 wouldn't Cody want to go after him. Now he's been 1454 01:19:17.760 --> 01:19:20.399 given a really good reason to because Randy just fucked 1455 01:19:20.439 --> 01:19:23.880 him out of the championship. So you're gonna go off 1456 01:19:23.920 --> 01:19:25.960 and do that non title which I think is fine. 1457 01:19:26.840 --> 01:19:29.279 And then as far as punk again, he name dropped 1458 01:19:29.279 --> 01:19:30.680 a whole bunch of people on the show a few 1459 01:19:30.720 --> 01:19:32.079 weeks ago that he would love to get in the 1460 01:19:32.119 --> 01:19:35.399 ring with and defend the title against, almost like little 1461 01:19:36.000 --> 01:19:39.920 side quests. He was just had a segment on SmackDown 1462 01:19:40.000 --> 01:19:43.199 last night in the bag with Trick Williams. You know 1463 01:19:43.239 --> 01:19:45.079 they were teasing that at some point you could do that. 1464 01:19:46.239 --> 01:19:48.520 We're gonna get a number one contenders match tomorrow. It's 1465 01:19:48.560 --> 01:19:51.479 gonna be Balor or Sammy. I would imagine that's going 1466 01:19:51.560 --> 01:19:54.279 to lead to a television match. So you can have 1467 01:19:54.399 --> 01:19:57.000 Punk doing other things in the meantime, and then there's 1468 01:19:57.119 --> 01:20:00.199 Kevin Owens. I hope Kevin Owens is on some back 1469 01:20:00.239 --> 01:20:02.920 down when he comes back, and I would love for 1470 01:20:03.000 --> 01:20:06.359 them to build something with punkin Owens. I would love it. 1471 01:20:08.359 --> 01:20:10.439 I think Kevin Owens fans would end up being very 1472 01:20:10.479 --> 01:20:13.560 disappointed if they don't put the belt on him. They 1473 01:20:13.640 --> 01:20:16.800 feel like kind of like Ballor where so many years 1474 01:20:16.840 --> 01:20:21.600 have gone by, and I mean, I guess there's a 1475 01:20:21.640 --> 01:20:24.239 lot of similarities between them really because Baalor was never 1476 01:20:24.439 --> 01:20:28.880 WWE champion, he was Universal champion. Kevin Owens was never 1477 01:20:29.039 --> 01:20:34.000 WWE champion, he was Universal champion, and then all these 1478 01:20:34.119 --> 01:20:37.560 years have gone by. Actually Kevin Owens only became the 1479 01:20:37.680 --> 01:20:41.039 Universal Champion because Finn Baalor got hurt. Holy shit, I 1480 01:20:41.119 --> 01:20:44.720 forgot about that. So here we are ten years later. 1481 01:20:45.640 --> 01:20:48.359 People have been clamoring for a Kevin Owens title run. 1482 01:20:49.399 --> 01:20:52.520 It's not fair. How come Ko can't get a run right? Well? 1483 01:20:53.920 --> 01:20:57.840 Who knows? Maybe now he can, you know, maybe you 1484 01:20:57.920 --> 01:21:01.960 do an extended feud with him in CMPUNK. I hope 1485 01:21:02.000 --> 01:21:05.039 we get to see that match, I really do. Do 1486 01:21:05.199 --> 01:21:09.439 we see Owens pop up tomorrow night during Night two? Possible? 1487 01:21:09.479 --> 01:21:11.119 But I mean in what way though? What would he 1488 01:21:11.239 --> 01:21:14.720 be doing on the show? You know, maybe he comes back. 1489 01:21:14.760 --> 01:21:16.720 He's not going to go after Punk right away, let's say, 1490 01:21:16.760 --> 01:21:18.880 but like, who would he be working with? Who would 1491 01:21:18.880 --> 01:21:22.399 he be feuding with on SmackDown? Would he tie in 1492 01:21:22.600 --> 01:21:25.880 with Sammy's ain in some way? I don't know. We 1493 01:21:25.960 --> 01:21:28.279 saw Orton tonight, we could see Owens tomorrow. I just 1494 01:21:28.319 --> 01:21:31.399 don't know where he really I don't know where he 1495 01:21:31.479 --> 01:21:33.479 really fits into the picture with the people who were 1496 01:21:33.520 --> 01:21:37.399 on that show tomorrow unless he's on Raw, unless they 1497 01:21:37.479 --> 01:21:40.560 move him to Raw. Maybe we see him after the 1498 01:21:40.680 --> 01:21:44.920 Roman and Seth match, but I don't see that. I 1499 01:21:45.000 --> 01:21:48.000 don't see that. And let's not forget Drew McIntyre is 1500 01:21:48.039 --> 01:21:51.880 also still, you know, on his way back soon. I 1501 01:21:52.000 --> 01:21:55.920 can't imagine they put orton Owens and McIntyre all on SmackDown, 1502 01:21:55.960 --> 01:21:58.960 plus he already got Cody and Punk. I mean, I'd 1503 01:21:59.000 --> 01:22:01.880 be pretty pissed if I was Netflix. You would think 1504 01:22:01.960 --> 01:22:03.439 one of them would have to end up on Raw, 1505 01:22:04.640 --> 01:22:09.079 you know, maybe Drew. But then we had the main event, 1506 01:22:10.239 --> 01:22:14.520 which was brock Lesner in his home state of Minnesota. 1507 01:22:15.520 --> 01:22:17.800 Actually I say home state. He wasn't born in Minnesota, 1508 01:22:17.880 --> 01:22:22.039 but went to college and wrestled in Minnesota. He is 1509 01:22:22.119 --> 01:22:24.840 forever linked to the state of Minnesota. I think he 1510 01:22:24.920 --> 01:22:27.800 was a Gopher. Was he a Gopher? I think he was. 1511 01:22:29.720 --> 01:22:31.640 I'm pretty sure he was because I think he and 1512 01:22:31.720 --> 01:22:33.840 Shelton they went to school together, and I know Shelton 1513 01:22:33.880 --> 01:22:42.199 Benjamin was a Gopher. Anyway, brock Lesner back home against 1514 01:22:42.479 --> 01:22:46.239 Oba Femi and this was contested inside helen a Cell. 1515 01:22:47.399 --> 01:22:49.600 This was only the second helen a cell match in 1516 01:22:49.720 --> 01:22:54.199 Summer Slam history, the first one being Undertaker and Edge 1517 01:22:55.039 --> 01:22:59.199 eighteen years ago. Oba was out to the ring first. 1518 01:22:59.800 --> 01:23:02.680 Can't be the only one who looks at that necklace 1519 01:23:03.720 --> 01:23:06.239 around his neck and notices that it seems to be 1520 01:23:06.319 --> 01:23:10.039 getting bigger every time he comes out here for a match. 1521 01:23:12.359 --> 01:23:19.199 Tony Chevanni says. Hometown of Minnesota, ah Tony Yes, Tony Schevanni, 1522 01:23:19.239 --> 01:23:23.359 who on Wednesdays Dynamite said that Androte was going to 1523 01:23:23.439 --> 01:23:28.800 have a match in his hometown of Mexico. That's what 1524 01:23:28.920 --> 01:23:34.479 he said. His hometown of Mexico A big town. That's 1525 01:23:34.520 --> 01:23:41.239 a very big town. Brocklesner came out. First thing I 1526 01:23:41.359 --> 01:23:45.039 noticed about Brock when he came out with Hayman, he 1527 01:23:45.079 --> 01:23:48.000 had elbow pads on. And I realized, I said, I 1528 01:23:48.039 --> 01:23:51.239 don't think I've seen Brockolesner wearing elbowpads since his first 1529 01:23:51.359 --> 01:23:54.560 run in like two thousand and four. So I immediately 1530 01:23:54.600 --> 01:23:56.359 thought he must be wearing them for a reason, like 1531 01:23:56.439 --> 01:23:58.920 they must have something, some big spot planned and he 1532 01:23:58.960 --> 01:24:01.960 wants to protect his elbow or something. But yeah, he 1533 01:24:02.079 --> 01:24:04.600 looked weird. He looked a little weird wearing elbow pads. 1534 01:24:05.600 --> 01:24:08.359 Michael Cole on commentary gave a shout out to his 1535 01:24:08.439 --> 01:24:12.560 old partner Taz, and he dropped the line here comes 1536 01:24:12.640 --> 01:24:15.479 the pain when Brock came out. So that was kind 1537 01:24:15.479 --> 01:24:19.199 of cool. Cole and Taz, by the way, very underrated, 1538 01:24:20.039 --> 01:24:25.920 announced duo. So we have the entrances and then they 1539 01:24:26.039 --> 01:24:29.439 finally lowered the cell. The cell was like halfway down. 1540 01:24:29.840 --> 01:24:31.840 They waited until after they were both in the ring. 1541 01:24:31.960 --> 01:24:34.039 They did the end ring intros, and then they finally 1542 01:24:34.159 --> 01:24:38.479 lowered it and everything here. It just took forever. The 1543 01:24:38.600 --> 01:24:40.800 bell sounded to start the match. It was eight point 1544 01:24:40.800 --> 01:24:44.880 fifty one PM, a good twenty five minutes had passed 1545 01:24:45.800 --> 01:24:50.960 since the end of the last match. So Brock out 1546 01:24:51.000 --> 01:24:56.520 of the gate here one German suplex, two Germans, three Germans. 1547 01:24:57.359 --> 01:24:59.640 But Oba bounces right up to his feet and he 1548 01:24:59.760 --> 01:25:02.119 clos those lines. Brock out over the top to the floor. 1549 01:25:03.319 --> 01:25:05.479 Not a lot of room there between the cage and 1550 01:25:05.760 --> 01:25:07.359 the ring, but again in a hell and a cell 1551 01:25:07.439 --> 01:25:12.000 met you can obviously brawl outside the ring. So Lesner 1552 01:25:12.079 --> 01:25:14.640 ends up sending him shoulder first into the steel steps, 1553 01:25:14.920 --> 01:25:17.239 and he tried to supplex Oba on the floor, just 1554 01:25:17.359 --> 01:25:20.960 a regular supplex, not a German. Oba stuffed it. He 1555 01:25:21.079 --> 01:25:24.000 ended up superplexing Brock on the floor, and then he 1556 01:25:24.039 --> 01:25:27.199 sent Lesner into the steps. Oba pulls out a slim 1557 01:25:27.279 --> 01:25:31.199 gym table and he props it up against the side 1558 01:25:31.199 --> 01:25:32.760 of the cell, which, now that I think about it, 1559 01:25:32.840 --> 01:25:35.439 this may have been the only spot technically in the 1560 01:25:35.520 --> 01:25:37.880 match to actually make use of the cell. And they 1561 01:25:37.920 --> 01:25:40.159 weren't even really making use of the cell. I mean 1562 01:25:40.199 --> 01:25:43.000 they were making use of the table more than they 1563 01:25:43.039 --> 01:25:46.439 were the cell. But he props the table up against 1564 01:25:46.479 --> 01:25:49.800 the cell. He goes back and actually he throws Brock 1565 01:25:49.840 --> 01:25:53.399 into the table. So Brock crashes through the table. He 1566 01:25:53.520 --> 01:25:59.199 gets Brock back into the ring and Lesner hits Oba 1567 01:25:59.319 --> 01:26:03.760 with three straight shots with the steel steps. I didn't 1568 01:26:03.760 --> 01:26:05.439 even notice that he put the steps in the ring 1569 01:26:06.479 --> 01:26:08.600 hits him, and he hits him hard too, three straight 1570 01:26:08.640 --> 01:26:12.319 times with the ring steps right in the skull. Then 1571 01:26:12.359 --> 01:26:15.399 we got a fourth German. We got a fifth German. 1572 01:26:16.039 --> 01:26:21.239 The Welts were showing on Lesner's pale body. Now Brock 1573 01:26:21.319 --> 01:26:23.720 takes a chair right to Oba's back and then he 1574 01:26:23.800 --> 01:26:26.279 hits him again. And at this point I just wrote 1575 01:26:26.279 --> 01:26:29.720 in my notes, I just noticed the fucking chare has 1576 01:26:29.760 --> 01:26:33.159 a wingstop ad on it. This is the first time 1577 01:26:33.239 --> 01:26:38.079 I noticed this. Now they have branded chairs on this show. 1578 01:26:40.680 --> 01:26:44.000 There's just there's no end. There's no end to it. 1579 01:26:45.880 --> 01:26:50.439 We have the fireball ladder, we have the slim gym table, 1580 01:26:51.279 --> 01:26:56.840 we have the wingstop chair. What's next. We're gonna get 1581 01:26:56.880 --> 01:26:59.000 branding on the ring steps. It's inevitable. We'll have the 1582 01:26:59.079 --> 01:27:03.079 KFC steps. They could put something on the ring bell. 1583 01:27:03.439 --> 01:27:06.800 Perhaps they could put ads on the lids of the 1584 01:27:06.840 --> 01:27:09.479 announced desks. I don't think they've done ads on there yet, 1585 01:27:09.560 --> 01:27:12.560 but they put other logos on there. We'll have that right. 1586 01:27:12.640 --> 01:27:14.479 We already have ads on the ring posts, we have 1587 01:27:14.600 --> 01:27:16.840 ads on the mat, we have ads on the the 1588 01:27:17.039 --> 01:27:19.520 led barricades. Actually, during the Cody match, they had a 1589 01:27:19.520 --> 01:27:28.159 street fighter ad on there. What other objects can they brand? Unbelievable? 1590 01:27:28.439 --> 01:27:31.399 Panda Express Kendo sticks. Oh, it's only a matter of time. 1591 01:27:31.960 --> 01:27:36.439 You give it time, give it time. Fucking wingstop chairs. 1592 01:27:36.479 --> 01:27:40.840 You have got to be kidding me. Now, the Calshi 1593 01:27:40.960 --> 01:27:45.760 Kendo sticks. I like that. That's better. So Brock went 1594 01:27:45.840 --> 01:27:49.880 for an F five. Oba countered out and he caught 1595 01:27:49.960 --> 01:27:52.520 Brock coming off the ropes into a giant choke slane. 1596 01:27:52.520 --> 01:27:55.439 We got a brief double down here. Then they repeated 1597 01:27:55.520 --> 01:27:58.399 the same spot with the F five attempt. Oba slips 1598 01:27:58.439 --> 01:28:00.279 out and delivers a chokesla. I don't know why they 1599 01:28:01.199 --> 01:28:04.399 redid that again. I don't really understand that. But he 1600 01:28:04.479 --> 01:28:07.279 picks up Brock, he beels him. He didn't beel him 1601 01:28:07.279 --> 01:28:09.359 the way that he bealed. JD McDonogh on TV the 1602 01:28:09.399 --> 01:28:12.800 other week. But you know, he threw Brock and then 1603 01:28:12.960 --> 01:28:15.039 he was setting up for a fall from grace and 1604 01:28:15.159 --> 01:28:17.600 he popped Brock up into the air and he dropped him, 1605 01:28:17.960 --> 01:28:21.800 and Brock kicked out at two, which I believe makes 1606 01:28:21.880 --> 01:28:25.119 him the first person to kick out of the fall 1607 01:28:25.199 --> 01:28:26.920 from grace. I don't remember if he kicked out of 1608 01:28:26.960 --> 01:28:30.479 one in Italy Clash in Italy, I don't remember. I 1609 01:28:30.560 --> 01:28:33.359 think this was the first time. So then he followed 1610 01:28:33.399 --> 01:28:36.760 that with an F five and then a second F five. 1611 01:28:37.319 --> 01:28:39.920 Oba staggers back up to his feet into a third 1612 01:28:40.119 --> 01:28:45.399 F five. There's the cover. Oba kicks out, So Brock 1613 01:28:45.439 --> 01:28:49.439 goes back to the wingstop chair for more shots to 1614 01:28:49.520 --> 01:28:52.239 the back. He bends the chair across Oba's back, and 1615 01:28:52.319 --> 01:28:55.920 now Brock starts ripping up the canvas, and then he 1616 01:28:56.000 --> 01:29:00.119 pulls up the padding underneath the canvas to expose the 1617 01:29:00.159 --> 01:29:04.640 wooden boards, the wooden the support beams, the boards underneath. 1618 01:29:05.840 --> 01:29:08.439 And so now we know why this match went on last. 1619 01:29:08.560 --> 01:29:10.399 You can't rip up the ring and then send the 1620 01:29:10.439 --> 01:29:11.920 main event out to the ring. This has to be 1621 01:29:11.960 --> 01:29:14.520 the main event. So this is at least one of 1622 01:29:14.560 --> 01:29:18.319 the reasons why this match went on last Brock gets 1623 01:29:18.399 --> 01:29:20.199 him up for another F five. It's gonna give him 1624 01:29:20.199 --> 01:29:23.199 an F five on the boards. As he's holding Oba 1625 01:29:23.279 --> 01:29:26.039 up in the air, Brock looks straight ahead into the camera. 1626 01:29:26.560 --> 01:29:31.159 He does the Undertaker throat slash, and then he maneuvers 1627 01:29:31.239 --> 01:29:35.720 Oba into position for a tombstone pile driver, and he 1628 01:29:35.880 --> 01:29:40.840 delivers a tombstone pile driver onto the exposed boards, and 1629 01:29:40.960 --> 01:29:44.199 then he crosses Oba's arms and he sticks his tongue 1630 01:29:44.239 --> 01:29:48.640 out and he does the Undertaker pin and Oba kicks out. 1631 01:29:51.159 --> 01:29:55.560 Oba kicked out of an Undertaker tombstone from brock lesner 1632 01:29:55.680 --> 01:30:00.680 onto the wooden beams. Look at that he kicked out. 1633 01:30:00.840 --> 01:30:03.239 He kicked out of a tombstone on the wooden boards. 1634 01:30:04.840 --> 01:30:06.920 I guess this was like Brock's tribute to the one 1635 01:30:07.000 --> 01:30:09.159 man he's ever wrestled inside Hell and a cell. The 1636 01:30:09.199 --> 01:30:11.760 only two cell matches Brock ever had coming into tonight 1637 01:30:11.800 --> 01:30:14.760 were both with the Undertaker, So I guess that was 1638 01:30:14.800 --> 01:30:21.840 his little tribute tribute to the aew Nosa. Yes, it's 1639 01:30:21.920 --> 01:30:26.479 very possible that's what it was. This was Brock his 1640 01:30:26.560 --> 01:30:30.000 little redemption tribute for the pay per view last week 1641 01:30:30.039 --> 01:30:33.920 and all the kickouts we got on that show. So 1642 01:30:34.079 --> 01:30:36.920 Brock grabs the chair, he gets it punched back into 1643 01:30:37.000 --> 01:30:40.239 his face, and then Oba hits the fall from Grace. 1644 01:30:40.399 --> 01:30:43.079 Not on the boards though, and I'm watching this, I'm like, 1645 01:30:44.319 --> 01:30:46.600 did he not intend to do it on the boards. 1646 01:30:46.640 --> 01:30:48.560 But I'm pretty sure Brock at one point I thought 1647 01:30:48.600 --> 01:30:51.159 I saw him kind of glance back at the boards 1648 01:30:51.239 --> 01:30:52.920 as if he was like making sure he was in 1649 01:30:52.960 --> 01:30:56.119 the right position. Oba hit the fall from Grace and 1650 01:30:56.359 --> 01:30:59.159 it was not on the boards. So my guess is 1651 01:30:59.199 --> 01:31:01.600 that the intent was to do it on the boards, 1652 01:31:01.680 --> 01:31:04.279 and they just missed, and he just dropped him on 1653 01:31:04.319 --> 01:31:09.479 the mat. But then he pinned him one two three. Now, 1654 01:31:09.560 --> 01:31:11.880 on the one hand, I'm glad that Brock only kicked 1655 01:31:11.920 --> 01:31:15.840 out of his finisher once, right, I mean, I it 1656 01:31:15.880 --> 01:31:17.319 would have sucked to see him kick out of it 1657 01:31:17.399 --> 01:31:22.079 for a second time. But like it just ended, and 1658 01:31:22.199 --> 01:31:27.319 I'm like, that's it. That's like, we're barely twelve minutes. 1659 01:31:27.359 --> 01:31:29.640 We're like eleven minutes and fifty something. I timed it 1660 01:31:29.720 --> 01:31:31.640 on my phone. I was curious how long this match 1661 01:31:31.760 --> 01:31:35.039 was gonna go. Eleven minutes and fifty three seconds is 1662 01:31:35.119 --> 01:31:36.800 what it came out to here for this main event, 1663 01:31:37.119 --> 01:31:39.840 they were done. Now. The bell rang at eight fifty one. 1664 01:31:40.520 --> 01:31:44.079 The match was done by nine oh three, and my 1665 01:31:44.199 --> 01:31:45.840 first I had a lot of thoughts going through my 1666 01:31:45.920 --> 01:31:49.520 head when this was over. My first thought was this 1667 01:31:49.680 --> 01:31:54.000 did not need hell in a cell. Now, my guess 1668 01:31:54.119 --> 01:31:57.159 is the reason they did it is because Brock was 1669 01:31:57.239 --> 01:32:00.199 undefeated in the cell. And it's another notch in the 1670 01:32:00.239 --> 01:32:01.960 cap of Oba Femi to be able to say that 1671 01:32:02.039 --> 01:32:05.039 he not only beat Brocklesnar twice, but he became the 1672 01:32:05.079 --> 01:32:08.960 first man and only man ever to beat him inside 1673 01:32:09.000 --> 01:32:11.399 hell in his cell. And that sounds all impressive and shit. 1674 01:32:11.920 --> 01:32:14.640 But at the end of the day, I'm watching this 1675 01:32:14.800 --> 01:32:17.439 match and I'm expecting to see something special from these two. 1676 01:32:18.000 --> 01:32:20.319 You've told us that this is going to be inside 1677 01:32:20.359 --> 01:32:22.520 the cell. These men have been trying to get at 1678 01:32:22.520 --> 01:32:24.880 each other in the worst way. Like Oba on Monday night. Man, 1679 01:32:24.960 --> 01:32:27.760 he couldn't get to Brock because the cage was between them. 1680 01:32:27.800 --> 01:32:31.119 He wanted to tear this man to shreds. And I'm expecting, Okay, 1681 01:32:31.159 --> 01:32:33.079 there's a reason why this is a cell match. That's 1682 01:32:33.079 --> 01:32:35.279 going to be all kinds of chaos. Something's going to happen. 1683 01:32:36.239 --> 01:32:39.520 They had a regular fucking match. Like we see plunder 1684 01:32:39.640 --> 01:32:42.800 matches on TV all the time, kendo sticks and chairs 1685 01:32:42.840 --> 01:32:45.560 and ladders and stairs. We didn't see anything out of 1686 01:32:45.560 --> 01:32:48.000 the ordinary when we saw punkin MacIntyre. They got blood 1687 01:32:48.119 --> 01:32:51.960 in that match that made that match unique. In this match, 1688 01:32:52.000 --> 01:32:54.560 there was nothing. There was nothing out of the ordinary 1689 01:32:54.600 --> 01:32:56.640 that you could not have done in any typical notice 1690 01:32:56.720 --> 01:32:58.960 qualification match or if you wanted to do a last 1691 01:32:59.039 --> 01:33:05.640 man standing match. The cell served no purpose in terms 1692 01:33:05.680 --> 01:33:08.640 of the match. Okay, forget them being able to say, 1693 01:33:08.680 --> 01:33:11.680 oh but be probably who gives a shit As far 1694 01:33:11.760 --> 01:33:14.239 as hell and a cell matches go, one of the 1695 01:33:14.319 --> 01:33:17.199 more underwhelming ones that you will ever see. I can't 1696 01:33:17.239 --> 01:33:18.920 say it's the worst hell in a cell match they've 1697 01:33:18.920 --> 01:33:22.079 ever done. It wasn't a bad match. It just it 1698 01:33:22.199 --> 01:33:25.279 didn't serve any purpose, which I think is the worst 1699 01:33:25.319 --> 01:33:27.159 thing that you could say about a hell and a 1700 01:33:27.199 --> 01:33:30.119 cell match when the cage doesn't even really come into 1701 01:33:30.159 --> 01:33:34.800 play and you're left saying, Wow, this really didn't need 1702 01:33:34.880 --> 01:33:37.520 to be a hell and a cell match. It's not 1703 01:33:37.600 --> 01:33:39.319 a bad match, but it's a bad hell and a 1704 01:33:39.359 --> 01:33:43.960 cell match. It didn't make use of the cell. I mean, 1705 01:33:44.039 --> 01:33:45.840 you don't have to climb up to the tippy top. 1706 01:33:45.920 --> 01:33:48.720 But my god, you know, the cell is its own 1707 01:33:48.840 --> 01:33:52.079 like living, breathing thing. It's like the third man out there, 1708 01:33:53.279 --> 01:33:55.920 and it just never came into play. So that's number one. 1709 01:33:56.039 --> 01:33:59.680 Number two, the match was just getting good, it was 1710 01:33:59.840 --> 01:34:02.640 just about to kick into high gear, and then it ended. 1711 01:34:03.560 --> 01:34:06.399 You could have gotten another four or five minutes or 1712 01:34:06.520 --> 01:34:09.439 three or four minutes out of this match, right, they 1713 01:34:09.479 --> 01:34:11.560 would have had to come up with some other big 1714 01:34:11.680 --> 01:34:13.560 spot to do instead of doing the same shit over 1715 01:34:13.640 --> 01:34:17.680 and over again, because honestly, how many more times are 1716 01:34:17.720 --> 01:34:19.079 they going to kick out of an F five or 1717 01:34:19.079 --> 01:34:23.279 a fucking fall from grace? But it's like that's that's 1718 01:34:23.359 --> 01:34:25.079 all they had in mind here, and then it's like, 1719 01:34:25.399 --> 01:34:27.920 you know, wham bam, thank you ma'am, And that's all 1720 01:34:28.000 --> 01:34:31.079 she wrote. And I was just very underwhelmed when it 1721 01:34:31.159 --> 01:34:35.880 was over. I'm glad Oba won, but I had higher 1722 01:34:35.960 --> 01:34:39.399 expectations for this and this did not meet those expectations, unfortunately. 1723 01:34:41.039 --> 01:34:42.399 And when I saw they were putting it in the 1724 01:34:42.439 --> 01:34:45.880 main event and only reinforced my thought that they must 1725 01:34:45.960 --> 01:34:51.319 have something planned here. I guess what they had planned 1726 01:34:51.399 --> 01:34:59.279 was brock ripping up the canvas ooh, okay, I'm sorry 1727 01:34:59.399 --> 01:35:03.319 that's not enough. So you got an eleven minute you know, 1728 01:35:03.479 --> 01:35:07.159 plunder match for your main event. Oba wins, which was 1729 01:35:07.199 --> 01:35:12.720 the predictable outcome. It was the right outcome. And they 1730 01:35:12.800 --> 01:35:17.279 have the closing credits, Paul Levec leaf fitting like they're 1731 01:35:17.319 --> 01:35:20.920 going off the air. But we're not done yet because 1732 01:35:21.000 --> 01:35:23.000 Brock and Hayman they come back down to the ring. 1733 01:35:23.760 --> 01:35:27.439 Right the music stops, They climb into the ring. Broc 1734 01:35:27.479 --> 01:35:31.000 goes over and he hugs Oba and then he raises 1735 01:35:31.079 --> 01:35:34.479 his arm and then he asks for the microphone, and 1736 01:35:34.720 --> 01:35:38.520 he said, Minnesota and the whole wide world watching this 1737 01:35:38.640 --> 01:35:42.479 shit tonight. This is the future of WWE goes, come here, 1738 01:35:42.520 --> 01:35:46.960 Oba goes, congratulations. He goes, this is the past, and 1739 01:35:47.079 --> 01:35:49.600 he points to himself and then he points at Oba 1740 01:35:49.720 --> 01:35:54.399 and he goes, this is the future. And I believe 1741 01:35:54.439 --> 01:35:58.279 I spied Paul Haman also shaking hands with Oba Femi. 1742 01:36:00.439 --> 01:36:03.079 We don't necessarily need to read too much into that, right, 1743 01:36:03.199 --> 01:36:06.359 Brock shook his hands, so did Hayman. But if Brock 1744 01:36:06.479 --> 01:36:09.279 is going away for a while, it could open up. 1745 01:36:09.319 --> 01:36:11.399 And people have floated this idea that you know, it 1746 01:36:11.479 --> 01:36:14.359 could open up. Paul Hayman to you know, take on 1747 01:36:14.479 --> 01:36:17.960 Oba Femi as his newest client, to which I would 1748 01:36:18.000 --> 01:36:21.760 say it's not needed. Oba is doing just fine on 1749 01:36:21.880 --> 01:36:24.800 his own without having to, you know, work Paul Hayman 1750 01:36:24.960 --> 01:36:28.960 into everything. I mean, you want to do it, you 1751 01:36:29.000 --> 01:36:30.800 could do it. I don't think it's going to necessarily 1752 01:36:30.880 --> 01:36:33.560 hurt Oba. But Oba comes down to the ring by 1753 01:36:33.640 --> 01:36:36.279 himself doing his strut. He can cut a promo on 1754 01:36:36.359 --> 01:36:38.680 his own. He doesn't need anybody doing any talking for him. 1755 01:36:39.119 --> 01:36:42.520 I don't see where Hayman really brings value that you're 1756 01:36:42.560 --> 01:36:45.439 not already getting from this guy. He doesn't need it. 1757 01:36:48.000 --> 01:36:51.039 Could they do it? Sure? If Hayman needs a guy, 1758 01:36:51.319 --> 01:36:54.000 he doesn't have a Roman anymore. Brock might go away. 1759 01:36:55.119 --> 01:36:57.399 He's no longer with the Vision. I don't know if 1760 01:36:57.439 --> 01:37:00.079 they're going to keep him with bron Breaker or or 1761 01:37:00.079 --> 01:37:01.960 if he's going to be with Bronson Reid when Bronson 1762 01:37:02.039 --> 01:37:05.079 Reid comes back, which could be any week now. I 1763 01:37:05.119 --> 01:37:07.279 don't know who that next big Paul Hayman guy is. 1764 01:37:07.359 --> 01:37:10.039 It's still gonna be bron Breaker. Bron Breaker is in 1765 01:37:10.079 --> 01:37:12.880 a real bad way right now. They ain't doing shit 1766 01:37:13.000 --> 01:37:15.880 with him, so I don't know who that next big 1767 01:37:15.920 --> 01:37:18.319 Hayman guy is gonna be Maybe it's Cody. Maybe Cody 1768 01:37:18.359 --> 01:37:20.319 eventually goes heal. I mean him and Cody have been 1769 01:37:20.399 --> 01:37:23.279 chummy in the past. I don't know. I don't know, 1770 01:37:23.399 --> 01:37:25.760 but I saw I saw the handshake and people have 1771 01:37:26.079 --> 01:37:29.640 mentioned that before. What maybe maybe Paul switches and he 1772 01:37:29.720 --> 01:37:34.840 goes with Oba. Yeah, I just why, Right, That's what 1773 01:37:34.960 --> 01:37:38.079 John Cena talked about on this new season of Unreal. Right, 1774 01:37:38.520 --> 01:37:43.119 you gotta figure out your why. What's the why? Why? 1775 01:37:43.399 --> 01:37:47.479 Why would why would Oba need Hayman to get a 1776 01:37:47.560 --> 01:37:51.319 title shot? He already had one. He gave it up. 1777 01:37:52.720 --> 01:37:56.000 Oba Femei, by the way, had a guaranteed World Championship 1778 01:37:56.079 --> 01:37:58.760 match on this show, and he gave it up willingly 1779 01:37:59.279 --> 01:38:03.039 for an eleven minute match to beat Brocko Lesnar, which 1780 01:38:03.079 --> 01:38:08.039 he already did at WrestleMania. I hope it was worth it. 1781 01:38:10.159 --> 01:38:12.760 I hope it was worth it because they were sure 1782 01:38:12.840 --> 01:38:15.239 talking about it like it was just it was gone. 1783 01:38:16.520 --> 01:38:18.680 But he'll win the Royal Rumble, he'll go to WrestleMania, 1784 01:38:18.720 --> 01:38:21.279 he'll probably win the belt next year. You know, it's 1785 01:38:21.319 --> 01:38:23.279 not like he's not going to be the champion, but 1786 01:38:23.359 --> 01:38:25.600 it's kind of funny to me now, like you gave 1787 01:38:25.680 --> 01:38:27.319 up a world title match on this show for what 1788 01:38:27.439 --> 01:38:31.000 ended up being a very underwhelming match. I don't know 1789 01:38:31.039 --> 01:38:36.000 if it was worth it. The endorsement, though, is very cool. 1790 01:38:36.359 --> 01:38:39.279 You know, to have somebody like Brock who's been dominant 1791 01:38:39.319 --> 01:38:41.439 for so long, he's been positioned to the top of 1792 01:38:41.479 --> 01:38:43.640 the food chain, when he goes in there and he 1793 01:38:43.720 --> 01:38:46.720 gives you the big handshake, gets on the mic and says, look, 1794 01:38:46.760 --> 01:38:49.119 I'm the old guy, you're the young guy. I'm the past, 1795 01:38:49.199 --> 01:38:53.439 you're the present or the future. Yeah, that means something. 1796 01:38:53.840 --> 01:38:55.720 So it was nice to get that endorsement there at 1797 01:38:55.760 --> 01:39:00.399 the end. The show overall a very mixed bag. There 1798 01:39:00.439 --> 01:39:02.319 were some good things on the show. There were some 1799 01:39:02.960 --> 01:39:07.119 very underwhelming things on the show. So it was very 1800 01:39:07.199 --> 01:39:09.319 middle of the road. I would say it was a 1801 01:39:09.840 --> 01:39:12.800 solid six out of ten, you know, somewhere in that range. 1802 01:39:13.920 --> 01:39:17.520 Not great, but not terrible. Now we have Night two, 1803 01:39:18.199 --> 01:39:20.039 which was not as strong on paper. This is what 1804 01:39:20.119 --> 01:39:22.520 the Night two lineup looks like for tomorrow. We have 1805 01:39:22.640 --> 01:39:25.399 Sammy z Ain and Finn Balor number one contenders match 1806 01:39:25.439 --> 01:39:29.039 for the WWE Championship. I'm going with Baler in that match. 1807 01:39:29.439 --> 01:39:32.560 Trick Williams and Baron Corbin for the United States Championship. 1808 01:39:33.079 --> 01:39:36.640 I'm going with Corbin to win the title. I'm gonna 1809 01:39:36.640 --> 01:39:40.880 take a flyer on him. Dan Hausen in a human 1810 01:39:41.000 --> 01:39:43.680 money He's on a pole. Match is going to wrestle 1811 01:39:43.760 --> 01:39:47.000 Dominic Mysterio. Anything but Dominic Mysterio winning this match, it 1812 01:39:47.079 --> 01:39:52.600 would be fucking ridiculous. We have the Interim Women's Championship 1813 01:39:52.640 --> 01:39:55.960 ladder match Charlotte Flair, Jade Cargill, Tiffany Stratt and Chelsea 1814 01:39:56.079 --> 01:40:01.439 Green and Lash Legend. Call me crazy, I'm going with 1815 01:40:01.560 --> 01:40:07.479 Lash Legend to win the title. Penta defends his Intercontinental 1816 01:40:07.560 --> 01:40:11.880 Championship against Chad Gable. Remember one job, they have one 1817 01:40:12.000 --> 01:40:15.600 job tomorrow. This should be very easy. And we have 1818 01:40:15.760 --> 01:40:19.359 Roman Reigns against Seth Rollins for the World Heavyweight Championship, 1819 01:40:19.520 --> 01:40:22.119 and I expect that to be a win for Roman Reigns. 1820 01:40:22.159 --> 01:40:24.720 We could put this shield stuff to bed once and 1821 01:40:24.800 --> 01:40:28.920 for all fourteen years of this shit. It all comes 1822 01:40:28.960 --> 01:40:33.439 to an end tomorrow night. Somebody said that Oba called 1823 01:40:33.479 --> 01:40:38.000 out Punk on the post show. So is Oba gonna 1824 01:40:38.000 --> 01:40:42.000 be like brock in that he's not really attached to 1825 01:40:42.079 --> 01:40:45.560 a brand. He's like a big enough attraction on the 1826 01:40:45.560 --> 01:40:47.479 show that he could just bounce around wherever he wants 1827 01:40:47.520 --> 01:40:52.640 to go. That's interesting. I mean, we could potentially be 1828 01:40:52.760 --> 01:40:57.359 looking at Punk and Oba coming up next. I'm okay 1829 01:40:57.439 --> 01:41:01.760 with that too. I feel like he would just break 1830 01:41:01.960 --> 01:41:03.960 Punk in half if he hit him with a fall 1831 01:41:04.000 --> 01:41:09.079 from Grace. Just break. I don't know, though. After tonight, 1832 01:41:09.159 --> 01:41:11.520 some of the bumps he took, he kind of came 1833 01:41:11.560 --> 01:41:15.960 off as indestructible. I'm surprised he didn't explode into a 1834 01:41:16.039 --> 01:41:21.279 pile of ash when some of the bumps he took tonight. Anyway, 1835 01:41:21.319 --> 01:41:25.439 that's your night two card for tomorrow. We'll be back 1836 01:41:25.479 --> 01:41:28.079 here again. We'll do it all over again tomorrow. We're 1837 01:41:28.119 --> 01:41:29.760 not done here yet, but we'll be back for the 1838 01:41:29.800 --> 01:41:31.720 full recap tomorrow. And by the way, there's going to 1839 01:41:31.720 --> 01:41:34.399 be a full podcast tomorrow as well. When I wake 1840 01:41:34.479 --> 01:41:36.439 up in the morning, I'll be recording episode nine to 1841 01:41:36.520 --> 01:41:40.960 seventy four of the sound Off, which will include I 1842 01:41:41.119 --> 01:41:43.920 got some stuff to say. Oh, it's going to be 1843 01:41:43.960 --> 01:41:46.199 an animated morning, I could tell. I got some stuff 1844 01:41:46.239 --> 01:41:49.479 to say about Triple H's comments. I'm busted open. This 1845 01:41:49.600 --> 01:41:52.439 past week, the Grace and Waller promo that everybody was 1846 01:41:52.560 --> 01:41:56.760 raving about from NXT. I'll talk about that and my 1847 01:41:56.880 --> 01:41:59.079 Dark Side of the Ring review on the Big boss 1848 01:41:59.239 --> 01:42:02.319 Man episode. So all of that is coming up tomorrow. 1849 01:42:03.920 --> 01:42:05.720 All right, let's take a look at your super chats. 1850 01:42:08.479 --> 01:42:16.199 Let's see what you guys thought of Summer Slam, and 1851 01:42:16.359 --> 01:42:19.039 I appreciate all the support. Get him on in. We 1852 01:42:19.119 --> 01:42:21.600 got a bonus goal going on right now. In the chat, 1853 01:42:22.239 --> 01:42:24.640 when is night three? Bruce? Don't get me don't don't, 1854 01:42:24.800 --> 01:42:27.920 don't get me started, Bruce, he's talking about night three 1855 01:42:28.039 --> 01:42:34.720 of Summer Slim. Don't even get me started, Bruce, a 1856 01:42:34.840 --> 01:42:49.159 three night extravaganza. We got Bossmo Jackson with us, solid show. 1857 01:42:49.520 --> 01:42:55.800 Night two will out do Night one? Really? Okay? Well, 1858 01:43:00.239 --> 01:43:04.920 we got Froed at seventy nine talking about all kinds 1859 01:43:04.920 --> 01:43:08.520 of sodas. Here the chat awaits the response under the 1860 01:43:08.600 --> 01:43:11.199 solo learning tree. This is what we were talking about 1861 01:43:11.239 --> 01:43:17.880 during Summer Slam. Sprite seven up, Sierra mist or Mellow Yellow. Well, 1862 01:43:17.960 --> 01:43:19.520 I don't know if this is going to disappoint all 1863 01:43:19.600 --> 01:43:22.560 of you or not, but I have never drank any 1864 01:43:22.640 --> 01:43:26.279 of those four. I think I tried Sprite once and 1865 01:43:26.760 --> 01:43:29.960 never again. I was not a sprite guy. I was 1866 01:43:30.039 --> 01:43:32.840 not a seven up guy. I don't even I don't 1867 01:43:32.880 --> 01:43:39.239 even think I know what mellow yellow is. Terms of soda, 1868 01:43:39.880 --> 01:43:42.199 I was a coke and pepsi guy, more so coke. 1869 01:43:42.479 --> 01:43:45.199 I'm not really a pepsi fan, but you know, you 1870 01:43:45.319 --> 01:43:47.920 go to some of these, like stadiums or movie theaters 1871 01:43:48.039 --> 01:43:50.960 and restaurants, sometimes all they have is pepsi, and it's like, 1872 01:43:51.000 --> 01:43:54.199 all right, I'll have pepsi. I'm a coke guy. I 1873 01:43:54.359 --> 01:44:05.319 like coke clip super Poty was really hoping for Ko 1874 01:44:05.520 --> 01:44:08.439 and got Randy instead. Disappointed. I think Punk might not 1875 01:44:08.520 --> 01:44:12.079 want to work with Ko. They have real life heat. Brother, 1876 01:44:13.960 --> 01:44:16.199 this this is not going to be an issue. They 1877 01:44:16.199 --> 01:44:19.279 will work together. They've already done segments together on the show. 1878 01:44:20.920 --> 01:44:23.279 Do you think they avoid each other in the hallway backstage? 1879 01:44:28.520 --> 01:44:30.680 Dr Pepper, Yeah, Doctor Pepper is another one. I don't 1880 01:44:30.760 --> 01:44:32.880 like Doctor Pepper. I don't like any of that sh all. 1881 01:44:32.920 --> 01:44:34.960 That shit is fucking terrible for you shouldn't be drinking 1882 01:44:35.000 --> 01:44:38.800 any of it. You should not be drinking any of it. 1883 01:44:41.680 --> 01:44:46.760 Jack and coke is fine. Jack and coke is acceptable 1884 01:44:49.439 --> 01:44:51.960 death side. Honestly, I would rather see a feud between 1885 01:44:52.079 --> 01:44:56.039 heel Orton and Babyface punk over the title because Cody 1886 01:44:56.159 --> 01:45:01.479 versus McAfee featuring Orton was no good. Yeah, it really 1887 01:45:01.600 --> 01:45:11.359 was Cody against McAfee, wasn't it? Holiday one ninety seven 1888 01:45:11.600 --> 01:45:16.840 with a ten dollars Australian Oba shit cash in his 1889 01:45:16.960 --> 01:45:19.079 King of the Ring reward shot on Roman and money. 1890 01:45:19.199 --> 01:45:22.159 He doesn't have it anymore. Brother, I think it's gone. 1891 01:45:23.960 --> 01:45:29.640 It's gone. He gave it up. He's not holding on 1892 01:45:29.760 --> 01:45:31.800 to it for a rainy day. He gave it away. 1893 01:45:32.239 --> 01:45:37.960 It no longer exists. Says it probably won't happen. But 1894 01:45:38.039 --> 01:45:42.079 in Oba versus Bronz, Breaker versus Fat two World title manager, 1895 01:45:42.159 --> 01:45:47.560 WrestleMania could be good. No, it's not that it probably 1896 01:45:47.640 --> 01:45:52.560 won't happen. It won't happen. Would it be good? Though? 1897 01:45:52.600 --> 01:45:59.279 Of course it would be good. Donovan d says, can 1898 01:45:59.359 --> 01:46:01.960 we go back to the days when one finisher actually 1899 01:46:02.079 --> 01:46:08.640 finished a match? Also, Michael Cole needs to go? Yeah, 1900 01:46:08.880 --> 01:46:13.359 Michael Cole and Tony Shiavanni both have just been h 1901 01:46:14.640 --> 01:46:18.640 It's not been good lately. It's not been good. Death 1902 01:46:18.720 --> 01:46:24.880 Site says the Bellas could say. The only reason that 1903 01:46:25.000 --> 01:46:29.960 page was relevant in WWE the first time was because 1904 01:46:30.000 --> 01:46:32.359 of fighting with my family. When she came back and 1905 01:46:32.520 --> 01:46:35.359 doesn't have that anymore, she tried to leach off of 1906 01:46:35.479 --> 01:46:41.800 us brother. I could not possibly care about any feud 1907 01:46:41.880 --> 01:46:45.439 involving Page in the Bellows against each other. I just 1908 01:46:45.600 --> 01:46:49.840 I don't care. I appreciate you trying to at least 1909 01:46:49.880 --> 01:46:53.399 attach some sort of story to it, but it ain't 1910 01:46:53.439 --> 01:46:59.760 for me. Punk mentioned that he wants o But to 1911 01:47:00.079 --> 01:47:03.239 choose him over Romans, so I don't think it's gone okay, 1912 01:47:03.279 --> 01:47:04.960 So they're making it up as they go along. Then 1913 01:47:05.600 --> 01:47:08.119 they literally had people on their own podcast. It was 1914 01:47:08.159 --> 01:47:11.439 with Sam Roberts Omega Morant talking about it after it happened, 1915 01:47:11.439 --> 01:47:14.079 as if he had given it away, Like, they don't 1916 01:47:14.119 --> 01:47:17.079 even know what they're doing. They're just making it up 1917 01:47:17.079 --> 01:47:22.520 as they go along. So I guess now they're going 1918 01:47:22.600 --> 01:47:25.079 back on they're going back on things, and now all 1919 01:47:25.119 --> 01:47:27.800 of a sudden, magically Obo will still have the shot. Great, 1920 01:47:33.800 --> 01:47:38.319 no one knows what they're doing, he says, I mean 1921 01:47:38.359 --> 01:47:40.600 the Bells are heels now, so they would say something 1922 01:47:40.680 --> 01:47:45.680 stupid like that. Well, they may not be saying anything 1923 01:47:45.760 --> 01:47:47.159 if Bree is going to be out for a while. 1924 01:47:47.680 --> 01:47:49.920 The sheltered Kid says, do you think WWE would ever 1925 01:47:50.000 --> 01:47:52.239 allow a celebrity to have a five star match if 1926 01:47:52.239 --> 01:47:55.039 they were able to, or would they see it as 1927 01:47:55.079 --> 01:47:57.399 anyone can do? What do you mean allow them to 1928 01:47:57.439 --> 01:47:59.079 have a five star man? What does that even mean? 1929 01:48:01.399 --> 01:48:03.800 Allow them to have a five star match? I think 1930 01:48:03.880 --> 01:48:05.800 we saw one with Bad Bunny a few years ago, 1931 01:48:07.359 --> 01:48:13.359 so the answer is yes, yes they would, But I'm 1932 01:48:13.399 --> 01:48:15.520 not even sure how you would define a five star match. 1933 01:48:15.720 --> 01:48:17.520 You think they give a shit with Dave Meltzer things. 1934 01:48:18.000 --> 01:48:20.039 What kind of five star scale are we talking about here? 1935 01:48:24.520 --> 01:48:27.319 Death Site says Oba should win the World Heavyweight Championship 1936 01:48:27.479 --> 01:48:31.319 as soon as possible. Don't wait until Wrestle many of 1937 01:48:31.359 --> 01:48:33.600 forty three because they did the same thing with Lex 1938 01:48:33.720 --> 01:48:37.479 Luger and what happened They wait, dude, are you comparing 1939 01:48:37.600 --> 01:48:42.520 Lex Luger and the reaction that he was getting at 1940 01:48:42.560 --> 01:48:46.880 that time to Oba Femei and the reactions that he's 1941 01:48:46.920 --> 01:48:55.000 been getting. I mean, dude, it's night and Day Brody. 1942 01:48:56.279 --> 01:48:59.039 I thought Night one was overall pretty good, aside from 1943 01:48:59.039 --> 01:49:01.720 the two to six person tag matches. Main event was great, 1944 01:49:02.479 --> 01:49:04.760 he says, a solemn moster, I love your intros to 1945 01:49:04.880 --> 01:49:11.239 live streams. They're awesome. Thanks for all that you do. Well, 1946 01:49:11.239 --> 01:49:16.159 I have good resources that I'm able to pay for 1947 01:49:16.279 --> 01:49:19.359 and pull them from, So no, I'm not sitting here 1948 01:49:19.399 --> 01:49:22.960 and creating them myself. I'm not that talented. I do 1949 01:49:23.399 --> 01:49:24.720 a lot of the art. I do all the art 1950 01:49:24.840 --> 01:49:27.039 now that you see here on the channel, but like 1951 01:49:27.119 --> 01:49:30.760 the thumbnails and stuff, but that stuff was a little 1952 01:49:30.760 --> 01:49:32.880 above my pay grade. But I'm glad you enjoyed them, 1953 01:49:33.760 --> 01:49:36.800 and try to liven things up with some of the intros. 1954 01:49:38.119 --> 01:49:41.319 Death Side says Night two, Dan Housen versus Dominic Mysterio 1955 01:49:41.399 --> 01:49:43.439 and a human Money's on a Pole match. Yeah, I 1956 01:49:43.479 --> 01:49:47.279 would rather travel to the Safari wearing all red and 1957 01:49:47.439 --> 01:49:53.239 have my butt impaled by an angry charging rhinoceros. Well, 1958 01:49:53.279 --> 01:49:57.359 I wouldn't because that sounds awful. I think you're exaggerating. 1959 01:50:04.439 --> 01:50:08.239 Donna Yasu brocks streak may be over, but I will 1960 01:50:08.319 --> 01:50:13.840 remind you that Michael Cole's undefeated streak at WrestleMania lives on. Well, 1961 01:50:13.880 --> 01:50:15.680 then I guess that'll have to be the next Oba 1962 01:50:16.079 --> 01:50:19.119 streak that he conquers. Oba Femi against Michael Cole at 1963 01:50:19.119 --> 01:50:24.439 WrestleMania forty three. At least it'll take him out of 1964 01:50:24.479 --> 01:50:29.199 the booth for the show, but then we'll just end 1965 01:50:29.279 --> 01:50:36.199 up with Joe Tessitur talking about Jade Cargole when she 1966 01:50:36.279 --> 01:50:42.880 comes at for her match. Uh, we got two, we 1967 01:50:43.000 --> 01:50:48.720 got hey, link Master, thank you, brother boomerang with a ten. 1968 01:50:48.880 --> 01:50:51.319 Do you remember when Max said that he pitched the 1969 01:50:51.399 --> 01:50:53.479 idea of tearing up the canvas for his Hell and 1970 01:50:53.520 --> 01:50:55.800 a Cell match against Seth Rollins that was shot down 1971 01:50:55.840 --> 01:50:59.680 by Vince and Triple H. It's not I roll In 1972 01:50:59.760 --> 01:51:06.680 due singing for Triple H. Now well, Triple H wanted. 1973 01:51:07.279 --> 01:51:11.000 He wanted to save it for either himself or for 1974 01:51:11.279 --> 01:51:19.199 someone not named din Ambrose. Wasn't a good idea back then, 1975 01:51:19.239 --> 01:51:27.039 but it's a great idea now we have got Chief 1976 01:51:27.319 --> 01:51:34.199 running Wolf, says Russo voice Solomon's to Bro, thank you 1977 01:51:34.319 --> 01:51:40.159 for suffering through all these wwepls for us Bro. You're welcome, Bro. 1978 01:51:42.399 --> 01:51:49.079 It's just wrestling, Bro, It's just wrestling. Nick Grosso, I 1979 01:51:49.119 --> 01:51:51.439 don't agree with Live retaining EO should have won, and 1980 01:51:51.520 --> 01:51:53.960 the real reason Live one and Rhea kept her title 1981 01:51:54.079 --> 01:51:56.479 is because that's the match they want for Crown Jewel. 1982 01:51:57.479 --> 01:52:01.840 Who wants to see that in twenty twenty six. Apparently 1983 01:52:01.880 --> 01:52:11.399 Paula vec Ragnarock props to WWE for doing literally anything 1984 01:52:11.479 --> 01:52:15.079 possible to keep from turning Cody heel. It's actually impressive 1985 01:52:15.119 --> 01:52:21.399 at this point. Hats off. They're holding out as long 1986 01:52:21.439 --> 01:52:24.359 as they possibly can. Death Sithe. Even though Rock was 1987 01:52:24.479 --> 01:52:28.399 champion heading into WrestleMania fifteen, he was nowhere near the 1988 01:52:28.520 --> 01:52:31.439 same guy heading into WrestleMania seventeen and made his match 1989 01:52:31.479 --> 01:52:37.720 with Stone Cold feel like a first time Well, I 1990 01:52:37.800 --> 01:52:41.520 can't disagree with you on that, David says, I like 1991 01:52:41.600 --> 01:52:44.039 the Live Morgan match more than the Cody Rhodes match. 1992 01:52:46.199 --> 01:52:49.720 I don't think that's like a hot take. I enjoyed 1993 01:52:49.760 --> 01:52:54.000 that match too. I thought it was very good. The 1994 01:52:54.119 --> 01:52:57.560 Cody and Punk match got what died to get, probably 1995 01:52:57.600 --> 01:53:00.760 an extra sixteen or seventeen minutes more. But I also 1996 01:53:00.800 --> 01:53:04.079 thought it was very boring for the first portion of it. 1997 01:53:04.560 --> 01:53:11.319 I was never bored by Live and EO Alexander with 1998 01:53:11.439 --> 01:53:14.359 a four ninety nine says Live Morgan was caught fiddling 1999 01:53:14.520 --> 01:53:17.920 with the four leaved clover in a rabbit's foot in 2000 01:53:18.039 --> 01:53:20.199 the back before the match. Is that what broke the curse? 2001 01:53:21.600 --> 01:53:24.760 So now we know how to break the Danhausen curse. 2002 01:53:24.800 --> 01:53:29.439 If only Wemby knew that san Antonio might have won 2003 01:53:29.439 --> 01:53:35.439 the championship. Venom Caitetsu says, maybe if Live sported a 2004 01:53:35.520 --> 01:53:38.079 Solo Monster shirt, you would be enduring her title reign 2005 01:53:38.159 --> 01:53:41.880 much easier. Happy weekend man, thanks for what you do. Cheers. 2006 01:53:43.680 --> 01:53:46.079 She's welcome to wear one anytime. I'll send a free 2007 01:53:46.119 --> 01:53:52.000 one if she wants one. Maybe I'll shoot a DM 2008 01:53:52.119 --> 01:53:54.079 over see if she wants. When she follows me, so 2009 01:53:54.119 --> 01:53:57.199 I could DM her now, I'm not gonna bother. I 2010 01:53:57.239 --> 01:53:59.560 can only imagine. I can only imagine that kind of 2011 01:53:59.640 --> 01:54:06.359 DMS that this poor woman must get. SI guy is 2012 01:54:06.439 --> 01:54:10.520 here says thanks for the content. Fourteen dollars super chat. Hey, siguy, 2013 01:54:10.640 --> 01:54:15.960 thank you. That's the brand new fourteen dollars superchat drop 2014 01:54:16.039 --> 01:54:21.359 we got, Brodie. Let's go solo, Let's go solo. Let's 2015 01:54:21.399 --> 01:54:29.560 go solo. I love that chant rarely even with a five. 2016 01:54:29.800 --> 01:54:32.600 How is the anacond device legal in WWE? It is 2017 01:54:32.680 --> 01:54:41.920 literally a choke hold. You're strangling your opponent. I mean, 2018 01:54:41.960 --> 01:54:43.760 what are you asking me for? I don't make the rules. 2019 01:54:49.640 --> 01:54:58.720 I don't disagree. Arnold PJ. Michael Cole, also called libs 2020 01:54:58.880 --> 01:55:08.479 three amigos as the three Omego's. Maybe maybe he was 2021 01:55:08.600 --> 01:55:12.159 referencing three of Kenny Omega's friends. How bout it? How 2022 01:55:12.279 --> 01:55:18.560 bad it is that what Omega calls his friends? Would 2023 01:55:18.600 --> 01:55:21.000 that be the young Bucks and Hangman? Are they the 2024 01:55:21.079 --> 01:55:27.319 three Omegos? I think Michael cole Is is pretty burnt out, 2025 01:55:28.880 --> 01:55:34.600 That's what I think. Yeah, it's funny because in the 2026 01:55:34.720 --> 01:55:37.560 last couple of years, I think he's taken a few 2027 01:55:37.640 --> 01:55:40.399 days off, but like, up until a few years ago, 2028 01:55:41.000 --> 01:55:43.319 he talked about it with such pride that he only 2029 01:55:43.359 --> 01:55:49.039 took like three days off in twenty seven years. And 2030 01:55:49.159 --> 01:55:52.840 I'm like, that's not something to celebrate, dude, Like that's awful. 2031 01:55:54.520 --> 01:55:57.920 That is awful. I could, I guess understand in some 2032 01:55:58.079 --> 01:56:00.640 weird warped way, like this is a source of pride 2033 01:56:01.359 --> 01:56:03.319 for people who work for that company, who could be like, 2034 01:56:03.439 --> 01:56:05.680 I've never taken any day. I've missed three days in 2035 01:56:05.800 --> 01:56:08.920 twenty seven years, Like why would you ever want to 2036 01:56:09.000 --> 01:56:10.920 work for a company where you feel like you have 2037 01:56:11.119 --> 01:56:14.319 to work and only miss three days in twenty seven 2038 01:56:14.479 --> 01:56:17.680 Like it's just insane to me. That's not something to 2039 01:56:17.760 --> 01:56:23.439 be celebrated. You end up burning yourself out. Don't do 2040 01:56:23.640 --> 01:56:33.239 that Grand Prairie Cobra. Just like player manager in MLB 2041 01:56:33.359 --> 01:56:36.039 and NBA fifty years ago, this is a perfect angle 2042 01:56:36.199 --> 01:56:41.319 for all this, much like Hall versus Zubisco, build heat, 2043 01:56:41.399 --> 01:56:45.319 then use him to settle a score. That probably would 2044 01:56:45.319 --> 01:56:47.600 be the best role for him. Honestly, you were going 2045 01:56:47.640 --> 01:56:49.399 to have him get back in the ring for any feuds. 2046 01:56:53.399 --> 01:56:58.600 Darryl Strawberry is with us. Want me to make your 2047 01:56:58.680 --> 01:57:01.079 day even worse than the tooth. Thousand and six NLC 2048 01:57:01.199 --> 01:57:04.359 has Game seven. If Beltron walk off Wainwright with the 2049 01:57:04.439 --> 01:57:08.600 bases loaded, it would have been a grand slam. Darryl, 2050 01:57:08.960 --> 01:57:11.800 you need to just you need to cool it. Brother. 2051 01:57:14.720 --> 01:57:17.000 You're putting me in a very bad headspace. If you 2052 01:57:17.079 --> 01:57:18.680 take me back to two thousand and six, in that 2053 01:57:18.840 --> 01:57:26.119 series Tried Chicken says, can you imagine see I'm punk 2054 01:57:26.119 --> 01:57:28.840 attempting to do a Maide in Japan move during a 2055 01:57:29.000 --> 01:57:31.199 WWE may You wouldn't be doing that to me. I 2056 01:57:31.239 --> 01:57:41.760 would never agree to that, Bruce. The show was mediocre, 2057 01:57:42.439 --> 01:57:46.159 but these Michelobe ultras are making it better, with everybody 2058 01:57:46.239 --> 01:57:50.520 saying yeah, it's gonna be there, It's gonna be their 2059 01:57:50.560 --> 01:57:55.720 new sponsor on the ring steps Michelobe. Actually, maybe they 2060 01:57:55.760 --> 01:57:58.039 could put them on the microphones instead of having like 2061 01:57:58.159 --> 01:58:01.000 the raw what they call like a bug the wrap 2062 01:58:01.079 --> 01:58:05.359 around of the microphone, it'll just be the Michelobe logo, 2063 01:58:05.479 --> 01:58:09.960 the Michelobe mic Yeah, we'll have the calci Cando sticks, 2064 01:58:10.000 --> 01:58:21.000 the Michelobe microphones. What else can we brand? Plus Ultra 2065 01:58:21.119 --> 01:58:26.199 Adrian Cody. Fatigue may be a thing, but solo monster 2066 01:58:26.319 --> 01:58:30.279 fatigue will never be a thing. Thank you for all 2067 01:58:30.359 --> 01:58:32.720 that you do. That's right, There was no such thing 2068 01:58:32.800 --> 01:58:38.079 as solo monster fatigue. It would be impossible. Actually, solo 2069 01:58:38.159 --> 01:58:40.720 monster fatigue is a very real thing, but it's literally 2070 01:58:40.800 --> 01:58:43.600 the solomn monster is just very fatigued because he doesn't 2071 01:58:43.600 --> 01:58:46.319 get enough sleep. But you guys, there should be no 2072 01:58:46.399 --> 01:58:51.119 such thing as solo monster fatigue. Bass Beer says moon salt. 2073 01:58:55.720 --> 01:58:59.720 He wrote that, like like literal moon salt, there's salt 2074 01:58:59.800 --> 01:59:06.600 on them. We may find out soon. Supposedly SpaceX is 2075 01:59:08.039 --> 01:59:10.359 blowing up a rocket or something on the Moon. I'm 2076 01:59:10.359 --> 01:59:14.119 sure that'll end well. When pieces of the Moon end 2077 01:59:14.239 --> 01:59:16.560 up landing on Earth and killing people, that'll be great. 2078 01:59:17.560 --> 01:59:21.479 Jeremy Roe, says Cody. Ko versus Orton Punk feud incoming. 2079 01:59:22.880 --> 01:59:24.960 So Ko is going to be back to being friends 2080 01:59:25.000 --> 01:59:29.920 with Cody. Why would he do that after everything they 2081 01:59:30.000 --> 01:59:39.560 went through? Bruce says Mickey James was the highlight of 2082 01:59:39.600 --> 01:59:49.000 the aldest match. I like the aldest match. Abystle Zones 2083 01:59:49.600 --> 01:59:51.920 looked like Brocks sat up and laughed after the first 2084 01:59:51.960 --> 01:59:54.319 fall from Grace. I figured it was his tribute to 2085 01:59:54.399 --> 01:59:57.399 his summer slim matches in twenty fourteen and twenty fifteen 2086 01:59:59.600 --> 02:00:01.960 are about that? Or is that just a tribute to him? 2087 02:00:03.000 --> 02:00:06.399 No selling and yelling and laughing in Ilia Dragadov's face, 2088 02:00:06.439 --> 02:00:10.600 and no selling his chop his chops from the Royal Rumble. 2089 02:00:15.079 --> 02:00:21.279 Bass Beer says Blue Choo adds on the Kendo sticks. Now, 2090 02:00:21.359 --> 02:00:25.720 I think when the wrestlers start branding their boots it'll 2091 02:00:25.760 --> 02:00:34.119 be the Blue Choo boot. Venom Catetsu Captain Morgan Tonight 2092 02:00:34.199 --> 02:00:39.560 with no mixer staying healthy hm, hm, you always need 2093 02:00:39.600 --> 02:00:45.520 a mixer would be nine out of fifteen on the 2094 02:00:45.520 --> 02:00:49.840 bonus call. HM. We're definitely doing the one round to 2095 02:00:49.960 --> 02:00:52.840 be the bookers, so we are we are at least 2096 02:00:52.840 --> 02:00:57.199 safe with the one round. Solemn Monster's lost son is 2097 02:00:57.319 --> 02:01:01.159 with us with a four ninety nine. Dad, I for 2098 02:01:01.279 --> 02:01:03.520 sure thought Brock was hiding a blade in one of 2099 02:01:03.560 --> 02:01:08.239 those elbow pads. Low key disappointed main event punk Cody 2100 02:01:08.319 --> 02:01:14.399 should have main evented every now and then, you know, 2101 02:01:14.479 --> 02:01:16.520 he chimes in and reminds me that I raised him 2102 02:01:16.600 --> 02:01:24.279 right with a take like that Pseudo with a five 2103 02:01:24.520 --> 02:01:28.920 I chose. I chose sleep and five star GP over SummerSlam. 2104 02:01:29.279 --> 02:01:33.680 Seems like I made the right choice. Well you did, 2105 02:01:33.720 --> 02:01:35.199 And I mean, now you're here with the reviews, so 2106 02:01:35.279 --> 02:01:39.520 I could just tell you everything that you missed. You 2107 02:01:39.560 --> 02:01:44.039 didn't miss much, bas Beer says was Triple H. Was 2108 02:01:44.119 --> 02:01:47.960 Triple H versus Nash in Helena cell better than tonight? 2109 02:01:49.560 --> 02:01:53.199 I mean, from what I can remember, I don't remember 2110 02:01:53.279 --> 02:01:55.279 really liking that Matt was that the one with Fully 2111 02:01:55.319 --> 02:01:57.600 as the referee? Was Fully the referee for that match? 2112 02:01:59.039 --> 02:02:06.399 I remembering the same match it probably was. I mean, 2113 02:02:06.520 --> 02:02:08.520 I haven't seen that match in years. I just was 2114 02:02:08.600 --> 02:02:10.119 not a big fan of a lot of those Triple 2115 02:02:10.239 --> 02:02:17.159 H matches during that era. Solo Monsters lost Sun again. 2116 02:02:18.720 --> 02:02:21.800 Where are you getting all this money from Solo Monsters? 2117 02:02:21.800 --> 02:02:23.520 So I cut you off a long time ago. You 2118 02:02:23.600 --> 02:02:27.560 back out on the street. If any celebrity can have 2119 02:02:27.640 --> 02:02:31.039 a five star match, it would be Tom Holland. I 2120 02:02:31.119 --> 02:02:33.920 grew up with Toby, but I can confidently say after 2121 02:02:34.039 --> 02:02:42.159 the new movie, he is my favorite. You know, Out 2122 02:02:42.199 --> 02:02:45.279 of curiosity, I just checked to see what all the 2123 02:02:45.880 --> 02:02:48.319 showings were at my local movie theater and they were 2124 02:02:48.359 --> 02:02:50.920 all sold out for that Spider Man, even until like 2125 02:02:50.960 --> 02:02:52.600 one p thirty in the morning. They were all sold 2126 02:02:52.640 --> 02:02:56.119 out for Spider Man. I mean that movie is going 2127 02:02:56.199 --> 02:02:59.920 to do record monster business by the time this week 2128 02:03:00.159 --> 02:03:04.359 and this is just the opening weekend. Did seventy two 2129 02:03:04.439 --> 02:03:16.439 million on Thursday previews alone, seventy two million on Thursday crazy, 2130 02:03:19.680 --> 02:03:22.960 and then we got Haavely, we got that red Bomb. 2131 02:03:23.039 --> 02:03:27.760 I love seeing that Red. Brett Hart said that he 2132 02:03:27.920 --> 02:03:32.359 was supposed to drop the Intercontinental title to Sean Michaels 2133 02:03:33.039 --> 02:03:37.000 at SummerSlam in DC. If this was true, what would 2134 02:03:37.079 --> 02:03:40.399 Davy boy have done if SummerSlam was one night this year? 2135 02:03:40.479 --> 02:03:43.399 What would be the main event? Brock versus Oba, Roman 2136 02:03:43.520 --> 02:03:48.039 versus Seth or Punk versus Cody and Favorite Summer Simpoll. 2137 02:03:48.039 --> 02:03:50.000 He's got a lot of questions here. Favorite Summer Slam 2138 02:03:51.640 --> 02:03:56.920 in eighty ninety what there was no Summer Slam in 2139 02:03:57.079 --> 02:04:05.439 nineteen eighty. What are you talking about Summerslim eighty ninety 2140 02:04:05.640 --> 02:04:09.359 or I dude, I don't know where the eighty came 2141 02:04:09.439 --> 02:04:14.720 from in that, but of the options that you presented 2142 02:04:14.760 --> 02:04:18.760 to me, the answer is ninety Summer Slim ninety. If 2143 02:04:18.840 --> 02:04:20.880 Summer Slim was one night this year, the main event 2144 02:04:20.960 --> 02:04:24.239 would have been Oba and Brock if they insisted on 2145 02:04:24.359 --> 02:04:26.399 doing the ring spot, because you can't rip up the 2146 02:04:26.479 --> 02:04:29.800 ring and then send another match out there. I mean, 2147 02:04:29.840 --> 02:04:32.279 I guess you could, but it would take a while 2148 02:04:32.359 --> 02:04:35.520 to repair. So it probably would still be Brock and Oba, 2149 02:04:36.000 --> 02:04:38.079 but if not, then it would be Roman and Seth 2150 02:04:38.119 --> 02:04:41.960 over Cody and Punk And as far as the first story, 2151 02:04:42.079 --> 02:04:46.359 so that is true. The original plan for Summerslim in 2152 02:04:46.479 --> 02:04:49.840 nineteen ninety two, they were going to run Washington, DC 2153 02:04:51.119 --> 02:04:53.920 and Sewn Michaels was going to challenge Brett and probably 2154 02:04:53.960 --> 02:04:58.399 win the Intercontinental title. They made the decision to go 2155 02:04:58.479 --> 02:05:02.600 to Wembley, which was very ambitious because business wasn't exactly 2156 02:05:02.720 --> 02:05:07.640 booming in ninety two, but overseas their business was really 2157 02:05:07.720 --> 02:05:11.199 really good, and they legit had eighty thousand people in 2158 02:05:11.279 --> 02:05:15.079 Wembley Stadium like the legitimate number of people they had 2159 02:05:15.119 --> 02:05:17.720 in Wembley in ninety two. The old Wembley was more 2160 02:05:17.800 --> 02:05:19.960 than AW had and they had a lot of people 2161 02:05:20.000 --> 02:05:24.119 their first time in Wembley. But once they made that decision, 2162 02:05:24.159 --> 02:05:28.159 they decided to go with the Bulldog. What would Bulldog 2163 02:05:28.239 --> 02:05:30.640 have done if they did Summer Slim in DC, Nothing 2164 02:05:30.680 --> 02:05:33.279 of note. You know, It's not like he would have 2165 02:05:33.319 --> 02:05:35.760 been wrestling for a championship. The only reason they put 2166 02:05:35.800 --> 02:05:37.319 the belt on him when they did was because they 2167 02:05:37.359 --> 02:05:43.159 were going to Wembley. So that one decision changed everything. 2168 02:05:43.439 --> 02:05:45.520 You know, people still talk about Breton Bulldog as being 2169 02:05:45.560 --> 02:05:48.560 the greatest Summer Slim match of all time, and it 2170 02:05:48.640 --> 02:05:51.479 almost didn't happen just because they could have just gone 2171 02:05:51.520 --> 02:05:53.800 with a different location for the show that year. I 2172 02:05:53.840 --> 02:05:57.520 don't remember why they ultimately, like what it came down to, 2173 02:05:57.720 --> 02:06:00.920 and why they made the call to take it Overseas. 2174 02:06:01.039 --> 02:06:02.880 My guess would be that again, they were doing really 2175 02:06:02.920 --> 02:06:05.199 big business on those international tours back then, and they 2176 02:06:05.239 --> 02:06:08.159 were like, hey, we could probably fill up the stadium 2177 02:06:08.239 --> 02:06:17.119 doing it, And oh my, I just noticed m Mills 2178 02:06:17.279 --> 02:06:24.720 just came in like a tornado and absolutely wrecked the goal. 2179 02:06:25.399 --> 02:06:28.880 The bonus goal we have hit fifteen out of fifteen 2180 02:06:30.600 --> 02:06:33.479 on those ten dollars superchats, and so we are going 2181 02:06:33.520 --> 02:06:36.760 to be doing a double round of be the booker 2182 02:06:37.840 --> 02:06:41.199 round of applause for m Mills. M Mills is awesome. 2183 02:06:46.960 --> 02:06:49.840 Ul Cogan was there now, Hulk Cogan, Despite what he 2184 02:06:49.960 --> 02:06:54.119 may have told people, ul Cogan was not at Wembley 2185 02:06:54.159 --> 02:06:58.239 Stadium for SummerSlam. He was there. He was there in spirit. Brother, Yeah, 2186 02:06:58.319 --> 02:07:06.159 well be there in spirit now too. Anyway, Havili, thank you, brother, 2187 02:07:07.279 --> 02:07:11.119 very very generous of you. I appreciate it. Don't be 2188 02:07:11.199 --> 02:07:15.640 afraid to show your face more often. Cameo Johnson with 2189 02:07:15.680 --> 02:07:18.439 the nine ninety nine Phil should have practiced that top 2190 02:07:18.600 --> 02:07:20.840 rope with the time off that he had and hit 2191 02:07:20.920 --> 02:07:26.359 up Raymisterio about that stem cell Lol. Live should have lost. 2192 02:07:26.399 --> 02:07:30.880 But to Raquel, why does she have the Intercontinental Belt? 2193 02:07:31.199 --> 02:07:36.880 Thanks again, Solo for the content. Cameo, I wish I 2194 02:07:36.920 --> 02:07:38.880 had a better answer for you. I don't know. It 2195 02:07:39.000 --> 02:07:40.920 seemed a few months ago like that's the direction we 2196 02:07:40.960 --> 02:07:42.760 were headed in. They were going to do something with 2197 02:07:44.079 --> 02:07:49.640 Live and Raquel, and things were headed down, you know, 2198 02:07:50.680 --> 02:07:53.760 a breakup between them or even Rock Sande Lived. They 2199 02:07:53.800 --> 02:07:56.359 were kind of building tension between them, and they've completely 2200 02:07:56.880 --> 02:08:03.800 just gotten away from that. All right, I'm gonna stop 2201 02:08:03.880 --> 02:08:07.119 that goal and just throw up a different one. We 2202 02:08:07.239 --> 02:08:12.399 did this the other night. If we hit this one, 2203 02:08:14.199 --> 02:08:18.920 we'll have three rounds to be the booker. Let's throw 2204 02:08:19.000 --> 02:08:25.880 that one as a double bonus up there. Hey Darryl 2205 02:08:25.920 --> 02:08:29.239 Shrubberry again, thank you, brother, coming in with another super chat. 2206 02:08:29.640 --> 02:08:33.279 Robert Peterson. Do you think WWE could have made a 2207 02:08:33.319 --> 02:08:35.840 push for ravishing Rick Rude to be the world champion 2208 02:08:36.199 --> 02:08:43.039 in his time? Sure they could have. I think he 2209 02:08:43.079 --> 02:08:44.520 would have made for a fight. Look, he was a 2210 02:08:44.560 --> 02:08:48.640 great champion in WCW. He had more success there than 2211 02:08:48.680 --> 02:08:52.920 he did in WWA, EJ Slam Baseball News, my White 2212 02:08:52.960 --> 02:08:56.560 Sox trade for Luis Castillo and the Dodgers somehow get 2213 02:08:56.640 --> 02:09:04.279 even richer by landing Tarik School. Oh my goodness, it's 2214 02:09:04.439 --> 02:09:09.319 fucking Dodgers, man. Something has to be done about them. 2215 02:09:11.359 --> 02:09:15.640 Something must be done about these Dodgers. They're an absolute 2216 02:09:15.800 --> 02:09:21.479 menace to the game. Tucky Neutrons speaking on your ad 2217 02:09:21.640 --> 02:09:27.119 rant Taco bell ring bell. They could call it the 2218 02:09:27.199 --> 02:09:37.199 taco ring Bell. Give me backshots, solo monster. I will 2219 02:09:37.279 --> 02:09:43.079 not live winning makes Roxanne money in the bank favorite 2220 02:09:43.119 --> 02:09:45.079 in my I hope so, because then that'll make me 2221 02:09:45.159 --> 02:09:49.439 look really smart because I picked her at the beginning 2222 02:09:49.479 --> 02:09:51.159 of the year when I did my predictions, I picked 2223 02:09:51.159 --> 02:09:53.039 her to win money in the bank all the way 2224 02:09:53.079 --> 02:10:01.640 back in like December. And then we had m Mills 2225 02:10:01.720 --> 02:10:04.760 coming in with all of these nine to ninety nine 2226 02:10:04.800 --> 02:10:08.079 super chats to get us to the bonus goal. M Mills, 2227 02:10:08.239 --> 02:10:11.079 I salute you. I hope you're having a great night. 2228 02:10:12.000 --> 02:10:15.960 I love it, Boots with a five solo monster. You 2229 02:10:16.079 --> 02:10:19.560 watch Raw, SmackDown and the Ple so we don't have to. 2230 02:10:19.720 --> 02:10:22.920 Will you be joining Club WWE and give us the 2231 02:10:23.000 --> 02:10:29.000 first hand beats? I will not, will not. I was 2232 02:10:29.039 --> 02:10:31.600 not planning on joining Club WWE. I don't even what 2233 02:10:31.720 --> 02:10:36.359 are all the perks of Club WWE. Do I get 2234 02:10:36.399 --> 02:10:38.720 a cool patch like Cody had on his jacket on 2235 02:10:38.800 --> 02:10:46.319 SmackDown last night. Can't wait for the MLB lockout? Yeah, 2236 02:10:46.399 --> 02:10:57.119 Unfortunately the lockout is coming. Unfortunately it is inevitable. You 2237 02:10:57.199 --> 02:11:00.560 know the last time we had an Mlbut the last 2238 02:11:00.560 --> 02:11:02.399 time we had an MLB lockout, we ended up with 2239 02:11:02.520 --> 02:11:13.279 Abe Knuckleball Schwartz on TV. Joseph Brooks with a four 2240 02:11:13.319 --> 02:11:18.560 to ninety nine. You get to give TKO more money. 2241 02:11:19.239 --> 02:11:21.800 Oh yeah, that's just what I want to be doing. 2242 02:11:25.680 --> 02:11:29.079 Joseph says by rent sell on hbk's rematches of great 2243 02:11:29.119 --> 02:11:32.960 matches that he had HBK against Razor ramone Summer Slam 2244 02:11:33.079 --> 02:11:38.840 ninety five, HBK against Undertaker, WrestleMania twenty six, HBK against 2245 02:11:38.840 --> 02:11:44.600 Sena on Raw in the UK. I'm gonna go HBK 2246 02:11:44.920 --> 02:11:50.840 Razor from SummerSlam ninety five. I actually like that ladder 2247 02:11:50.880 --> 02:11:52.960 match more than their WrestleMania ten ladder match, and I 2248 02:11:53.039 --> 02:11:59.680 love that match, so I'm buying on that. I'm gonna 2249 02:12:02.119 --> 02:12:06.199 I'm gonna rent on the WrestleMania twenty six match, and 2250 02:12:06.279 --> 02:12:08.760 I'm going to sell on the Raw match with Sina 2251 02:12:12.279 --> 02:12:15.840 Super Pony. Ko should help Sammy win tomorrow. I think 2252 02:12:15.880 --> 02:12:17.279 that it would be a slap in the face to 2253 02:12:17.359 --> 02:12:19.439 have Sammy lose the belt and lose to a guy 2254 02:12:19.520 --> 02:12:21.840 that has zero chance of winning a world title. Again, 2255 02:12:21.880 --> 02:12:25.359 I love Finn, but that is the reality. Well, you know, 2256 02:12:25.479 --> 02:12:29.279 I guess that would be the only way that I 2257 02:12:29.319 --> 02:12:33.399 would see Owens returning tomorrow is if he was to 2258 02:12:33.439 --> 02:12:38.239 help Sammy win, which I then would I imagine, would 2259 02:12:38.239 --> 02:12:41.399 then set up an automatic feud with Owens and valor 2260 02:12:42.960 --> 02:12:47.119 Darryl Strawberry the Dodgers. Just yes, we just talked about that. 2261 02:12:48.000 --> 02:12:54.640 Darryl Strawberry is very excited about this and Dried Chicken 2262 02:12:54.680 --> 02:12:56.239 with a five you're going to hate me for this, 2263 02:12:57.399 --> 02:13:10.920 bright orange ladders during pleas to sponsor home depot. I 2264 02:13:11.039 --> 02:13:19.720 could absolutely see that. I could totally see that Dry Chicken, 2265 02:13:20.199 --> 02:13:25.479 Thank you, Darth ridiculous with a five, hot tip. Want 2266 02:13:25.520 --> 02:13:28.119 to see Spider Man with no crowd? Get a ticket 2267 02:13:28.159 --> 02:13:32.680 to a showing with closed caption? Saw it Thursday? Only 2268 02:13:32.840 --> 02:13:35.520 six people in there? Do it all the time. How 2269 02:13:35.600 --> 02:13:38.520 was that the trick? People don't like seeing the closed 2270 02:13:38.520 --> 02:13:51.800 captions on the screen. That's interesting, and we have Javili says, 2271 02:13:51.880 --> 02:13:55.439 I meant in the eighties, nineties, two thoys, tens, and twenties. Okay, 2272 02:13:57.119 --> 02:14:00.960 in the eighties, I thought you were saying nineteen eighty. 2273 02:14:03.720 --> 02:14:09.039 They didn't have pay per views back then. Brother favorite 2274 02:14:09.039 --> 02:14:11.600 Summer Slam in the eighties, well, there were only two 2275 02:14:11.680 --> 02:14:16.279 of them, so not a huge sample size. I gotta 2276 02:14:16.319 --> 02:14:18.760 go eighty nine though. Eighty nine was a favorite of mine, 2277 02:14:19.159 --> 02:14:24.079 so that one's easy. In the nineties, hmmm, gets a 2278 02:14:24.119 --> 02:14:26.560 little bit harder. There were some really good summer slams, 2279 02:14:28.920 --> 02:14:32.760 My boy, I think I might have to go ninety one. 2280 02:14:35.880 --> 02:14:45.319 I might have to go ninety one. I probably would 2281 02:14:45.399 --> 02:14:55.159 go ninety or ninety one. Two thousand's two thousands, two thousands, 2282 02:14:55.359 --> 02:15:01.079 two thousand and two, and then twenty ten. I probably 2283 02:15:01.079 --> 02:15:07.560 would go twenty thirteen, and then of the twenty twenties, 2284 02:15:10.840 --> 02:15:12.600 you know, that may be the hardest one, and those 2285 02:15:13.039 --> 02:15:16.319 are the most recent ones. I don't know. I don't 2286 02:15:16.359 --> 02:15:23.000 know which man, I don't that's a tough one. I 2287 02:15:23.039 --> 02:15:31.479 don't know. Maybe twenty two, maybe twenty two. PAVELI the 2288 02:15:31.600 --> 02:15:36.359 thirty six months of Channel membership. Any chance of getting 2289 02:15:36.439 --> 02:15:41.119 the Demon tomorrow against Sammy's Ain, No no, I would 2290 02:15:41.119 --> 02:15:44.399 say very little. There's no reason for it. You bring 2291 02:15:44.479 --> 02:15:47.520 out the Demon when there's a reason for it. This 2292 02:15:47.720 --> 02:15:50.079 is a random match. I mean, there's no reason to 2293 02:15:50.159 --> 02:15:58.039 have the Demon out there. We have Shift and Shive. 2294 02:15:58.800 --> 02:16:01.000 Post show, Triple H saying that he loves all the 2295 02:16:01.039 --> 02:16:04.079 wrestlers working hard to get themselves over with the fans, 2296 02:16:05.119 --> 02:16:13.039 why so he can bury them in catering hilariously hypocritical. Yeah, 2297 02:16:13.079 --> 02:16:14.600 I mean there's a lot of stuff he says that 2298 02:16:14.880 --> 02:16:18.760 is very hypocritical. So there's stuff he said on WWE 2299 02:16:18.960 --> 02:16:21.000 Radio this week that I'm gonna be talking about tomorrow 2300 02:16:21.079 --> 02:16:24.800 that was very hypocritical. But see, he didn't answer the 2301 02:16:24.840 --> 02:16:28.720 most important question though, Schiff. At some point during the 2302 02:16:28.760 --> 02:16:33.719 Post Show did he a call this the beginning of 2303 02:16:33.760 --> 02:16:37.559 a new era? Or b did he say it's what 2304 02:16:37.680 --> 02:16:41.000 we do? There has to be at least one reference 2305 02:16:41.280 --> 02:16:43.799 to that every single time he talks on the Post Show, 2306 02:16:46.000 --> 02:16:53.239 it's what we do. The Juliet says, rest in peace. 2307 02:16:53.479 --> 02:16:57.920 Vincent past story. Yes, Big Pusss passed away. I think 2308 02:16:57.920 --> 02:17:02.840 he was eighty one years old. It pus from the Sopranos. 2309 02:17:02.920 --> 02:17:06.360 I mean he's been into a lot of different stuff. Yeah, 2310 02:17:06.360 --> 02:17:09.440 I saw he passed away. So I was bummed to 2311 02:17:09.479 --> 02:17:13.600 hear that. Someone tell Carmelo Hayes that triple ah statement. 2312 02:17:13.639 --> 02:17:16.440 Did you see the picture that Carmelo Hayes posted yesterday. 2313 02:17:17.840 --> 02:17:21.120 It's either during SmackDown or after SmackDown. It was just 2314 02:17:21.200 --> 02:17:23.879 a picture of Steph Curry just sitting on the bench. 2315 02:17:26.959 --> 02:17:29.719 Oh man, that guy is not happy. I don't blame him. 2316 02:17:33.520 --> 02:17:36.920 It's thinking, what do I have to do? What do 2317 02:17:37.079 --> 02:17:39.239 I have to do? You leave me off WrestleMania, You 2318 02:17:39.399 --> 02:17:45.840 leave me off Summer Slim. What do I have to do? 2319 02:17:48.239 --> 02:17:51.239 Link Master? What's worse? Seene of beating Ray? Or Brock 2320 02:17:51.399 --> 02:17:57.280 beating Kofee, Brock beating Kofe. I know Ray only had 2321 02:17:57.280 --> 02:18:00.000 the belt for an hour. Kofe had it for six months. 2322 02:18:01.239 --> 02:18:03.000 It was not nearly as bad as the way in 2323 02:18:03.079 --> 02:18:08.319 which Koffee was just discarded like he was nothing. Cooffee 2324 02:18:08.440 --> 02:18:15.000 was worse. All right. We got two rounds to be 2325 02:18:15.079 --> 02:18:18.360 the booker now coming our way, thanks to all of you. 2326 02:18:19.319 --> 02:18:22.000 And it's a very special addition too. It's the Summer 2327 02:18:22.079 --> 02:18:24.959 Slam edition, so we gotta we gotta do a good 2328 02:18:25.040 --> 02:18:27.360 one here. I got high hopes for this. It's time 2329 02:18:27.399 --> 02:18:30.680 to be the booker, Ladies and gentlemen, It is now 2330 02:18:30.879 --> 02:18:39.959 time to oh no, Matt Scales. Matt Scale says, the 2331 02:18:40.159 --> 02:18:47.000 dude wipes fire extinguish. Sure, it's only a matter of 2332 02:18:47.120 --> 02:18:50.440 time before the wrestlers themselves are forced to wear advertisements 2333 02:18:50.479 --> 02:18:59.920 on their gear. It's only a matter of time. Dried Chicken, 2334 02:19:00.040 --> 02:19:03.680 says Carmelo. Hayes needs to call the undertaker for Triple A. 2335 02:19:05.239 --> 02:19:07.120 This goes on for much longer. He's gonna have to 2336 02:19:07.159 --> 02:19:14.200 call an undertaker for his career like Julia. All right, 2337 02:19:14.239 --> 02:19:17.040 here we go. Tag team match. We did not have 2338 02:19:17.120 --> 02:19:20.319 a straight tag team match at all, and I don't 2339 02:19:20.360 --> 02:19:23.559 believe we have one tomorrow night either. We had two 2340 02:19:23.680 --> 02:19:27.639 six person tags tonight though, but no tag team title 2341 02:19:27.680 --> 02:19:34.120 defenses this weekend. Hollywood Hogan and the Worm Dennis Rodman 2342 02:19:34.200 --> 02:19:36.879 are kicking us off here and be the booker. We 2343 02:19:37.079 --> 02:19:39.360 landed on these two a few weeks ago, a lot 2344 02:19:39.399 --> 02:19:42.079 of star power there headlined a Bash of the Beach 2345 02:19:42.120 --> 02:19:44.680 pay per view many actually two of them, I believe. 2346 02:19:45.920 --> 02:19:50.920 I think it was ninety seven and ninety eight Hogan 2347 02:19:51.040 --> 02:19:59.440 and Rodman against Tito Santana and Rick Martell. Interesting. Interesting, 2348 02:19:59.559 --> 02:20:03.000 I mean, who's doing the job. But interesting match there, 2349 02:20:04.079 --> 02:20:09.799 totally going to be carried by Strike Force. Tito was great. 2350 02:20:09.799 --> 02:20:13.159 I mean Martell was great too, but Tito is awesome. Man. 2351 02:20:13.440 --> 02:20:20.159 Tito is so underrated. Doesn't get enough love. We have. 2352 02:20:21.399 --> 02:20:27.280 We have that Butterfly belt. Look at that monstrosity. We 2353 02:20:27.399 --> 02:20:30.840 have the former Divas Champion Michelle McCool. This was back 2354 02:20:30.959 --> 02:20:33.920 during that phase of her career. Where she was just 2355 02:20:34.040 --> 02:20:37.680 loving life. Remember those vignettes. It would show her doing 2356 02:20:38.040 --> 02:20:46.200 various things. We rollerblading. Michelle McCool is loving life. She's 2357 02:20:46.319 --> 02:20:54.479 loving life. Michelle McCool defending the Diva's title. Up. We 2358 02:20:54.680 --> 02:20:59.680 have a triple threat stipulation. Look at that. We have 2359 02:21:00.000 --> 02:21:06.000 a bonus stipulation. We have landed on a bonus stipulation, 2360 02:21:08.000 --> 02:21:12.600 which means we have to pick two more people. We 2361 02:21:12.719 --> 02:21:21.600 have a Divas Championship triple threat. So we have Michelle McCool, 2362 02:21:22.559 --> 02:21:32.399 we have who do we have? Ah? Now I'm depressed. 2363 02:21:34.200 --> 02:21:41.840 Now I am depressed. I said her name. See I 2364 02:21:41.920 --> 02:21:45.319 don't recognize this woman. This is not the same woman 2365 02:21:45.399 --> 02:21:48.440 that we see on Friday Nights back then. I don't 2366 02:21:48.479 --> 02:21:51.360 know what happened to her, but I want this Julia back. 2367 02:21:51.440 --> 02:21:58.840 This is stardom, Julia stardhom Julia would absolutely just assassinate 2368 02:21:59.520 --> 02:22:03.120 Michelle cool. I mean, this is not even a fair fight. 2369 02:22:05.559 --> 02:22:07.440 We have to add one more person because it is 2370 02:22:07.479 --> 02:22:11.440 a triple threat. I'm telling you, man, be the booker 2371 02:22:11.600 --> 02:22:18.280 is self aware and it hears things. It's very very 2372 02:22:18.360 --> 02:22:24.280 eerie how we land on some of these things. Okay, well, 2373 02:22:24.360 --> 02:22:28.520 now hold on, is that not now. Now, now we 2374 02:22:28.680 --> 02:22:32.159 have been transported from a triple threat to a fatal 2375 02:22:32.200 --> 02:22:35.079 four way. We're just gonna keep adding women here. We're 2376 02:22:35.120 --> 02:22:40.040 gonna have our own little harem. So we have Michelle McCool, 2377 02:22:41.079 --> 02:22:45.440 we have Julia, and now we need two more women. 2378 02:22:47.360 --> 02:22:51.079 Now it has turned into a Divis Championship four way. Yes, 2379 02:22:51.440 --> 02:23:01.440 it is evolving. Teagan knocks Julia, Tigan Knox and Michelle McCool. 2380 02:23:06.280 --> 02:23:07.920 We need a drum roll for this. We got to 2381 02:23:07.959 --> 02:23:10.120 pick our fourth and final lady here in this match, 2382 02:23:13.200 --> 02:23:16.719 and it will be EO Sky and I am gonna 2383 02:23:16.760 --> 02:23:20.680 give that the automatic bell because we have Julia and 2384 02:23:20.840 --> 02:23:25.280 EO Sky in the same match. That's an automatic bell. 2385 02:23:27.000 --> 02:23:29.479 Tiga Knox and Michelle McCool. They can go fight off 2386 02:23:29.520 --> 02:23:32.680 out to the floor. Give me Eo and give me Julia. 2387 02:23:37.000 --> 02:23:42.000 It's all that's all we need here.

Man, that's a 2396 02:24:20.840 --> 02:24:26.719 hard slap right there. I think Sammy's ay, he looks 2397 02:24:26.760 --> 02:24:31.719 like he should be trying out for power slap. All right, 2398 02:24:31.760 --> 02:24:38.000 so the guest referee for this main event contest will 2399 02:24:38.079 --> 02:24:45.280 be ah, wait, what is going on here?

Since we 2402 02:24:55.719 --> 02:24:59.200 basically doubled up on stipulations here, that means I get 2403 02:24:59.200 --> 02:25:05.399 to pick the special referee. Okay, so I need some 2404 02:25:05.559 --> 02:25:09.719 input from you guys who should be the special guest 2405 02:25:09.799 --> 02:25:14.399 referee for this match. I'll give you a few seconds.

I mean, 2414 02:25:49.360 --> 02:25:56.680 that's that's like a conflict of interest A lot. I 2415 02:25:56.760 --> 02:26:02.920 see a lot of albundies in the chat. All Right, 2416 02:26:02.959 --> 02:26:06.040 I gotta make I gotta make a decision here. Uh 2417 02:26:06.799 --> 02:26:09.079 you know what I will go.

Okay, so now 2420 02:26:16.280 --> 02:26:22.799 we know who the official is going to be. Now 2421 02:26:22.920 --> 02:26:29.879 we have to pick the participants. The Jets, the reigning 2422 02:26:29.959 --> 02:26:33.479 T n T champion in a e W Kevin Knight. 2423 02:26:36.079 --> 02:26:37.280 He was just in a main event. He was just 2424 02:26:37.319 --> 02:26:39.239 in a pay per view main event last weekend. In fact, 2425 02:26:43.120 --> 02:26:52.000 we got the Jet Kevin Knight the main event against 2426 02:26:52.600 --> 02:26:58.680 Psycho said, and you know, and actually I believe that 2427 02:26:59.079 --> 02:27:07.040 was a clean sweep, a clean sweep. SID is going 2428 02:27:07.120 --> 02:27:09.159 to power bomb not only Kevin Knight. He's going to 2429 02:27:09.239 --> 02:27:13.719 power bomb JD. For shits and giggles. He's gonna leave 2430 02:27:13.760 --> 02:27:16.239 them both laying with a power bomb and everyone's gonna pop. 2431 02:27:19.559 --> 02:27:22.719 He's taking a ref bump. Now, he's taking a He's 2432 02:27:22.760 --> 02:27:28.520 taking a power bomb, is what he's taking. He's gonna 2433 02:27:29.280 --> 02:27:33.760 be biased towards Sid. Now, we need a referee that 2434 02:27:33.799 --> 02:27:35.440 can call it right down the middle. He's gotta be 2435 02:27:35.440 --> 02:27:40.000 able to call balls and strikes. I gotta tell you, 2436 02:27:40.120 --> 02:27:42.360 that was a wild round, and we got one more 2437 02:27:42.440 --> 02:27:44.920 left to go. I don't know if we can top 2438 02:27:45.040 --> 02:27:51.120 what we just did. Now it's all stipulations here. So 2439 02:27:51.239 --> 02:27:57.319 the first stipulation is gonna be a barroom brawl.

This is a 2457 02:29:30.479 --> 02:29:38.000 very violent, bloody casket match. Let's stick with the men 2458 02:29:38.079 --> 02:29:42.280 on this one. It's a little too violent for the ladies. 2459 02:29:42.319 --> 02:29:47.079 We'll stick here to the guys for this one.

The BFT and the Diamond Cutter 2465 02:30:33.399 --> 02:30:40.959 a little too similar? Little too similar. And now our 2466 02:30:41.040 --> 02:30:47.559 main event, our main event of the evening. What kind 2467 02:30:47.639 --> 02:30:50.200 of match are we gonna have? It's going to be 2468 02:30:50.680 --> 02:30:53.079 a of course, it's going to be a blindfold match. 2469 02:30:53.360 --> 02:30:55.559 This is how they book in WWE. They have all 2470 02:30:55.600 --> 02:31:02.040 their creative meetings or fucking blindfold matches. The two men 2471 02:31:02.079 --> 02:31:04.600 will have a bag over their heads. They will be 2472 02:31:04.719 --> 02:31:08.200 unable to see. It's pretty simple. It's basically how the 2473 02:31:08.280 --> 02:31:13.600 match works. Not the best stipulation, but that's what we 2474 02:31:13.719 --> 02:31:27.200 landed on Logan Paul in a blindfold match, and here 2475 02:31:27.280 --> 02:31:29.639 I thought that we might actually be able to pull 2476 02:31:29.719 --> 02:31:34.799 off the double sweep. But it's not looking too good. 2477 02:31:42.520 --> 02:31:47.799 Well Logan Paul against I mean, this is not just 2478 02:31:48.159 --> 02:31:51.760 Eddie Kingston. This is like zombie Eddie Kingston, which I 2479 02:31:51.799 --> 02:31:54.360 gotta tell you, Eddie Kingston in the ring, this version 2480 02:31:54.360 --> 02:32:02.680 of Eddie Kingston in the ring with Logan Paul. That 2481 02:32:03.000 --> 02:32:06.600 is a double sweep. We pulled it off. We did it. 2482 02:32:07.559 --> 02:32:09.239 I was ready to hit the buzzer on that match. 2483 02:32:09.239 --> 02:32:11.680 As soon as I saw Logan Paul and blindfold match, 2484 02:32:11.840 --> 02:32:14.319 I said, yeah, I don't like where this is headed. 2485 02:32:14.360 --> 02:32:16.959 But then we saw Eddie Kingston. Eddie Kingston, by the way, 2486 02:32:17.920 --> 02:32:21.840 the Mad King, Bloody Kingston. I liked that. See I 2487 02:32:22.000 --> 02:32:26.959 like that, Nobdy says, Bloody Kingston. The Mad King is 2488 02:32:27.000 --> 02:32:29.440 going to be coming to the NYC Arena. We have 2489 02:32:29.559 --> 02:32:31.239 him in the main event of House of Glory next 2490 02:32:31.280 --> 02:32:35.040 Friday against Charles Mason for the World Championship. You can 2491 02:32:35.120 --> 02:32:40.680 see it live and free on YouTube next Friday, unless 2492 02:32:40.719 --> 02:32:44.799 you care that much to watch SmackDown, Otherwise you can 2493 02:32:44.840 --> 02:32:51.319 watch hog I'm just saying, well, we ended well I 2494 02:32:51.479 --> 02:32:56.440 like how that ended. I like that. Yeah, we ended 2495 02:32:56.520 --> 02:32:58.600 up doing two men's matches instead of the women's match. 2496 02:32:59.879 --> 02:33:02.120 I made a judgment call that we were not going 2497 02:33:02.200 --> 02:33:05.639 to get too overly violent with the women in grave consequences. 2498 02:33:05.719 --> 02:33:12.200 So there you go. I gotta tell you man that 2499 02:33:12.319 --> 02:33:15.559 card next Friday that what we put together is stacked. 2500 02:33:17.280 --> 02:33:22.000 It is stacked. All right, let's get back to your 2501 02:33:22.000 --> 02:33:27.159 super chats here, because we are not done yet. We 2502 02:33:27.399 --> 02:33:33.959 have hmmm, try chicken, says Martel and Tito against Hogan 2503 02:33:34.040 --> 02:33:38.200 and Rodman Eric Bischoff as the referee. Yeah, I don't 2504 02:33:38.200 --> 02:33:46.399 think we need him. JAVELI buy sell or rent says 2505 02:33:46.719 --> 02:33:53.159 Favorite Summer Slam of the Undertakers ninety six against Mankind, 2506 02:33:53.239 --> 02:33:56.239 ninety seven against Brett Or, ninety eight against Steve Austin. 2507 02:33:56.719 --> 02:34:00.000 And are they saying Stephanie Vicaires? Are they saving Stephanie 2508 02:34:00.000 --> 02:34:02.920 if he cares returned for Raw? I've been waiting for 2509 02:34:03.000 --> 02:34:06.639 Stephanie to come back since WrestleMania, So unless there's some 2510 02:34:06.760 --> 02:34:10.399 reason why she cannot work, Yes, it would seem to 2511 02:34:10.520 --> 02:34:12.319 me like Raw would be the perfect place for them 2512 02:34:12.399 --> 02:34:17.680 to bring her back. As far as favorite Summer Slim 2513 02:34:17.719 --> 02:34:19.840 of the Undertaker. Let me tell you something, man, those 2514 02:34:19.879 --> 02:34:23.159 were three great matches he had back to back to 2515 02:34:23.280 --> 02:34:27.639 back like that, but I don't think any of them 2516 02:34:27.680 --> 02:34:29.600 were as good as the ninety seven match with Brett, 2517 02:34:29.719 --> 02:34:31.680 and the finish of that match was just a work 2518 02:34:31.719 --> 02:34:34.559 of art. I gotta go ninety seven. I will go 2519 02:34:34.760 --> 02:34:38.360 ninety six because I'm a fan of that boiler room brawl, 2520 02:34:39.280 --> 02:34:41.559 and then I'll put ninety eight against Austin on the bottom. 2521 02:34:41.840 --> 02:34:44.120 Even though the hype and the promotion for that match, 2522 02:34:44.200 --> 02:34:47.719 the Highway to Hell stuff, I mean, clears them all. 2523 02:34:48.799 --> 02:34:54.079 The match itself, I'd have to put that third JS 2524 02:34:54.959 --> 02:34:59.440 js J swag ninety three home from Summer Slim. It 2525 02:34:59.559 --> 02:35:03.280 was six point eight out of ten to me, that's 2526 02:35:03.280 --> 02:35:05.079 about in line with what I said. I said about 2527 02:35:05.079 --> 02:35:09.879 six out of ten, maybe six and a half, middle 2528 02:35:09.920 --> 02:35:14.600 of the road trending up. Se yea. And that's from 2529 02:35:14.600 --> 02:35:19.200 someone who was there in the stadium. Tried chicken, says 2530 02:35:19.239 --> 02:35:25.760 Michelle McCool. Stardom, Julia Tigan, Knox and Eosky Winner gets 2531 02:35:25.799 --> 02:35:31.239 a Lamborghini. You know, I what was I gonna say 2532 02:35:31.239 --> 02:35:34.639 about Julia just forgot well, I said, I said, a 2533 02:35:34.719 --> 02:35:36.600 year from now, if she's not in stardom. She'll be 2534 02:35:36.680 --> 02:35:41.200 back in Marigold. I mean the writing, the writing with 2535 02:35:41.319 --> 02:35:46.120 her is on the wall fast Eddie solo. Have you 2536 02:35:46.239 --> 02:35:49.479 seen the I Play Rocky trailer? That movie is gonna 2537 02:35:49.479 --> 02:35:53.200 be phenomenal. I have not. I have not. Is it 2538 02:35:53.280 --> 02:36:01.280 worth watching? They have not seen the trailer? Maybe forty 2539 02:36:01.319 --> 02:36:05.680 one eighty one CM punk with the un prettiest moon saln. 2540 02:36:06.680 --> 02:36:09.760 I love it.

Actually a 2543 02:36:25.600 --> 02:36:30.680 great way to describe it. Dry chickens, says Logan Paul 2544 02:36:30.680 --> 02:36:36.079 against Eddie Kingston. Max Dupree Low blows Eddie to help 2545 02:36:36.159 --> 02:36:38.040 Logan for more heat. Well, it's a good thing you're 2546 02:36:38.079 --> 02:36:44.280 not booking. You kill the territory.

Is that a good thing or a 2551 02:37:01.079 --> 02:37:03.920 pathic that I taught you the English language? I probably 2552 02:37:03.959 --> 02:37:07.600 taught you a few words you shouldn't be using. But 2553 02:37:08.639 --> 02:37:10.719 that's a long time, man, that's well over a decade. 2554 02:37:10.719 --> 02:37:13.559 I appreciate all the support. You've stuck with me for 2555 02:37:13.639 --> 02:37:15.360 a very long time. You know we're getting very close. 2556 02:37:15.399 --> 02:37:19.840 We're getting awfully close to episode one thousand of the 2557 02:37:19.920 --> 02:37:22.159 Sound of You know what happened when Raw hit episode 2558 02:37:22.200 --> 02:37:25.719 one thousand it went to three hours.

If anything, I'll 2561 02:37:32.840 --> 02:37:39.200 shave an hour off. And link master X says I 2562 02:37:39.319 --> 02:37:42.920 pay thirty dollars a month for C plus pay per views. 2563 02:37:45.719 --> 02:37:47.559 Why are you paying thirty dollars a month? Do you 2564 02:37:47.639 --> 02:37:56.159 not have ESPN Unlimited or Netflix at a VPN? I 2565 02:37:56.239 --> 02:37:58.600 don't think these shows are worth thirty dollars a month. 2566 02:37:58.680 --> 02:38:05.159 But I'm sorry to hear that, brother. I only now 2567 02:38:05.239 --> 02:38:07.959 got access to ESPN U Limited through YouTube TV. I 2568 02:38:08.079 --> 02:38:11.799 finally got it to work so I was able to 2569 02:38:11.840 --> 02:38:14.319 watch it on there. Finally, it only took a year. 2570 02:38:16.280 --> 02:38:21.840 Better late than never, I guess, man, we got a 2571 02:38:21.879 --> 02:38:26.000 lot of longtime listeners in the chat. Chris is twenty ten. 2572 02:38:27.399 --> 02:38:29.600 Next year is going to be twenty years for the 2573 02:38:29.680 --> 02:38:34.440 sound of Yes.

There's a lot of milestones coming up. Well, 2576 02:38:50.120 --> 02:38:53.200 thank you guys for hanging out with me for Night 2577 02:38:53.280 --> 02:38:58.000 one of Summer Slim. Tonight, I thought that we pretty 2578 02:38:58.079 --> 02:39:01.360 much covered all the important stuff. I think I pretty 2579 02:39:01.440 --> 02:39:06.000 much called it fairly, some good stuff, some not so 2580 02:39:06.200 --> 02:39:09.680 good stuff. And tomorrow we'll do it again. Hopefully it's 2581 02:39:09.719 --> 02:39:12.360 better than tonight. Night two, headlined by Roman Reigns and 2582 02:39:12.399 --> 02:39:16.200 Seth Rollins. We'll see if they're saving any surprises. If 2583 02:39:16.239 --> 02:39:19.120 we're gonna get any title changes, it's gonna be in 2584 02:39:19.239 --> 02:39:22.799 the Intercontinental match. Obviously we're gonna have a new interim 2585 02:39:22.840 --> 02:39:25.840 Women's champion, but I'm not counting that. But we should 2586 02:39:25.879 --> 02:39:29.959 have at least the IC title change tomorrow. That's the 2587 02:39:30.000 --> 02:39:32.920 match I'm actually looking forward to most on that card, 2588 02:39:35.079 --> 02:39:37.319 Roman and Seth, I'm sure they're gonna have a quality 2589 02:39:37.399 --> 02:39:40.159 main event. It's just again, fourteen years of this. It's like, 2590 02:39:40.479 --> 02:39:44.920 can we move on, please? You know, it's twenty twenty 2591 02:39:44.959 --> 02:39:48.680 six and we have they're building this whole main event around, 2592 02:39:48.760 --> 02:39:52.639 like the Shield and nobody loved the shield as much 2593 02:39:52.639 --> 02:39:54.479 as I did back then. But my god, can we 2594 02:39:54.600 --> 02:39:59.559 can we move on from this? Please? Let's let this 2595 02:39:59.639 --> 02:40:10.440 be the end and link Master Kubrick or Tarantino. Tarantino, Hey, Alex, 2596 02:40:10.479 --> 02:40:15.799 what's going on? Necro says it's going to blow tomorrow. 2597 02:40:18.159 --> 02:40:24.319 I love the attitude. I love the optimism, Dry Chicken. 2598 02:40:24.360 --> 02:40:26.360 There is one way for Julia to get out of 2599 02:40:26.399 --> 02:40:29.920 her contract. Take a picture with Tony Kahan.
