1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:04,320
Speaker 1: Well, for the first time in nineteen years, Madison Square

2
00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:08,439
Garden played host tonight to a Saturday Night's main event

3
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:13,039
with a car that was as weak as any MSG

4
00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:14,519
card probably that we have.

5
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:15,640
Speaker 2: Seen in years.

6
00:00:15,759 --> 00:00:17,839
Speaker 1: I mean, you look at what was on this card

7
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:21,120
on paper coming into I mean, thankfully we at least

8
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:23,960
had the big tag team main event, but for weeks

9
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:27,600
we had one, we had two, we had three matches,

10
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:30,000
and I was like, looking at this card, I'm like,

11
00:00:30,039 --> 00:00:33,359
this is a Madison Square Garden. This is pathetic, this

12
00:00:33,439 --> 00:00:36,520
is really bad. And then we had the tag team

13
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:38,799
match that was added that at least, and last night

14
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:42,119
on smack Man we had actual stakes put on the

15
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:45,719
line in that tag team match, so that was good

16
00:00:45,799 --> 00:00:47,799
at least, but I can't say the same for the

17
00:00:47,799 --> 00:00:50,759
rest of this card. It was a bloody night. I

18
00:00:50,759 --> 00:00:53,880
feel like we had more blood incidental blood on this

19
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:55,560
show than we have in a very long time in

20
00:00:55,719 --> 00:01:04,200
WWE fallon Henley lyra Vela CM Punk Punk had the

21
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:06,560
least of it, but it was either from the nose

22
00:01:06,599 --> 00:01:10,319
of the mouth. So we had some blood on this show.

23
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:14,319
I told you guys, last night we gathered here to

24
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:17,359
talk about SmackDown and I ran down the final card

25
00:01:17,359 --> 00:01:20,200
and I said, this is a one match show. This

26
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:22,719
Saturday Night's main event is going to hinge on how

27
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:25,239
good the main event is. It's a one match show.

28
00:01:25,879 --> 00:01:28,400
It all comes down to Cody Rhoads and Cmpunk against

29
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:31,239
Gunther and Sammy's A, which had the potential to be

30
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:35,599
a really fun match, and that one match delivered. I

31
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,120
actually thought the main event was a lot of fun,

32
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:41,400
except it ended up not being the main event. I

33
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:44,239
keep calling it the main event, but as it turns out,

34
00:01:44,359 --> 00:01:47,439
it was not the main event on this show here tonight,

35
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:51,280
which is pretty crazy because they gave the main event

36
00:01:51,359 --> 00:01:55,120
to Roman Reigns. In case you were wondering who the

37
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:58,319
man in WWE is. In case you were wondering who's

38
00:01:58,359 --> 00:02:01,519
probably getting that night to Summer Rustlam main event, look

39
00:02:01,599 --> 00:02:06,799
no further. Roman Reigns, the World Heavyweight Champion, was promoted

40
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:10,159
for a segment with the captain of the New York Knicks.

41
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:15,599
You were reigning twenty twenty six NBA Champion New York Knicks,

42
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:19,080
Jalen Brunson. We were never told what they were going

43
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:22,280
to be doing. All we were told is that Roman

44
00:02:22,319 --> 00:02:24,360
Reigns and Jalen Brunson were going to be together. They

45
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:26,639
were going to be doing something on Saturday Night's main event.

46
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,000
They weren't going to be wrestling. They were gonna be

47
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:33,479
doing something, and they saved that for the closing segment

48
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:37,719
of the show. And Jalen Brunton comes out, he gets

49
00:02:37,759 --> 00:02:43,080
a full entrance and Roman Range joins him and they

50
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:44,759
make their way down to the rain boil. Let me

51
00:02:44,759 --> 00:02:48,159
tell you something. If you love this aura farming era

52
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:51,840
of WWE that we are in, they gave you exactly

53
00:02:51,879 --> 00:02:54,439
what you wanted in that closing segment because you knew

54
00:02:55,199 --> 00:02:59,400
as soon as Brunson started slowly walking through the backstage area,

55
00:02:59,479 --> 00:03:02,080
you knew the level of aura farming that we were

56
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,199
going to get in the closing minutes of this show

57
00:03:04,319 --> 00:03:05,719
was just off the page.

58
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:09,319
Speaker 2: It was off the charts. And so that's exactly what

59
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:10,159
we got.

60
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:11,879
Speaker 1: But to the people who I know are going to

61
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:15,159
be very upset about what that segment was, why was

62
00:03:15,199 --> 00:03:18,240
it on this show? I don't disagree with you. I

63
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:20,120
don't disagree with you. It was very out of place

64
00:03:20,159 --> 00:03:21,520
on this show. But you got to keep in mind

65
00:03:21,599 --> 00:03:26,000
something very very important, and it's not just the TKO effect. Obviously,

66
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:30,159
the TKO effect is very real. They love their celebrity involvement.

67
00:03:30,199 --> 00:03:33,240
They want their ESPN moments. That's what they got in

68
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:36,599
that closing segment today, and they're going to replay this footage.

69
00:03:36,599 --> 00:03:38,759
It's going to be all over social media. And this

70
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:42,639
is I mean, they live for this shit, right WWE.

71
00:03:42,639 --> 00:03:44,759
They love their celebrities are all you know. I mean,

72
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:48,639
they've been starfuckers for years. This is not news. But honestly,

73
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:53,479
did you expect that the New York Knicks were going

74
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:57,800
to win their first championship in fifty three years and

75
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:00,800
WWE was going to then come to Madison Square Garden

76
00:04:01,479 --> 00:04:06,599
not long after? Knowing that there are team members on

77
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:10,919
the NIXT squad, including the MVP himself, the captain of

78
00:04:10,919 --> 00:04:14,919
the team, who are WWE fans. We have literally had

79
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:18,600
Jalen Brunson appear on WWE television before as part of

80
00:04:18,639 --> 00:04:21,759
an angle with a man who is not on the Knicks,

81
00:04:21,759 --> 00:04:25,680
but who was actually there tonight. Again, knowing that they

82
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,360
have fans on the Knicks squad, knowing that they're coming

83
00:04:28,399 --> 00:04:31,800
to MSG, Knowing that Dan Housen and the Dan Housen

84
00:04:31,879 --> 00:04:34,639
Curse became such a big part of Knick's lore in

85
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:38,759
the postseason this year. Did you honestly expect anything other

86
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:41,360
than what we got on this show tonight. Did you

87
00:04:41,439 --> 00:04:43,639
expect the WWE was not going to go all in

88
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,079
to try to exploit that and try to do something

89
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:47,959
like this so they can mooch off the Knicks who

90
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,279
just won this championship. This is such a big deal

91
00:04:50,319 --> 00:04:52,680
here in New York City. This is exactly what they

92
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,839
were gonna do. And they were or certainly if there

93
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,000
were players who wanted to participate in the show, they

94
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,959
were gonna say no. There to be like, fuck, yeah,

95
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,120
let's see how we could work these guys into the show.

96
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:06,199
And Jalen Brunson was not the only Nick who made

97
00:05:06,199 --> 00:05:08,560
an appearance on this show and had a role on

98
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:13,360
this show. I'm not shocked by any of this. I

99
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:16,279
think the fans in the building clearly enjoyed it. They

100
00:05:16,319 --> 00:05:19,120
loved Jalen Brunson, they loved the Knicks. If you are

101
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:21,920
in New York City, if you're in New York City, person,

102
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:26,199
you know how special that championship was here to the

103
00:05:26,199 --> 00:05:29,240
people of this city. And you know, even those who

104
00:05:29,319 --> 00:05:31,920
maybe aren't die hard NBA fans, right, it was a

105
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:33,959
big deal here in New York. So for the fans

106
00:05:33,959 --> 00:05:36,319
who were in the garden, they seem to love it.

107
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:39,639
For the fans who were watching at home, who are

108
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:42,199
not from New York, who may not even be from

109
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:46,160
this country, who may not even like basketball, then you

110
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,279
probably didn't give a shit about the closing twenty minutes

111
00:05:49,399 --> 00:05:51,319
or so of this show. You could have turned the

112
00:05:51,319 --> 00:05:55,199
show off after the actual main event and you would

113
00:05:55,199 --> 00:05:58,279
not have missed anything. You missed literally nothing if you

114
00:05:58,319 --> 00:06:00,319
did not see the closing segment. In fact, what was

115
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:03,439
so weird about the closing segment was it set up

116
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:07,519
a Seth Rolins run in, and Seth Rollins was booked

117
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:09,680
as the heel in this scenario.

118
00:06:10,879 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 2: He came out.

119
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:15,639
Speaker 1: Everyone is showering Roman Reigns in Jalen Brunson would love.

120
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:20,839
They're chanting Jalen's name, They're chanting OTC. Roman Reins is

121
00:06:20,879 --> 00:06:25,199
gifting Jalen Brunson a replica World Heavyweight Championship belt, which

122
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:28,720
I actually have to say, look fucking amazing. The belt

123
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:32,639
did that World Heavyweight Championship on a blue strap with

124
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:33,639
the orange trim?

125
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 2: Oh my god.

126
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:37,720
Speaker 1: So yeah, But it's basically one big circle jerk in

127
00:06:37,759 --> 00:06:41,639
the middle of the ring, and then out comes Tyrese Halliburton,

128
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:47,120
a villain here in New York, and Seth Rollins with

129
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:50,360
the ambush on Roman. Reins in the ring like the

130
00:06:50,439 --> 00:06:55,079
villain in this scenario, and he goes to stomp Roman,

131
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:57,240
and Jalen Brunson stands in the way and he's not

132
00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:00,000
gonna let him do it, and Rollins eats a super

133
00:07:00,199 --> 00:07:02,040
man punch and he gets bounced out of the ring.

134
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:05,839
I'm watching this. I'm looking at Brunson and Rains in

135
00:07:05,879 --> 00:07:08,519
the ring, and I'm looking at Rollin's and Tyrese Haliburton

136
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:12,240
and they're retreating up the aisle, and I'm looking at this,

137
00:07:12,319 --> 00:07:16,399
and I'm like, you know, in the month of July

138
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:21,680
many years ago, in fact, almost thirty years ago, and

139
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:24,639
then twenty eight years ago as well, there were a

140
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:28,279
couple of really big tag team matches, celebrity tag team

141
00:07:28,319 --> 00:07:32,800
matches that were hosted in WCW, involving NBA players. If

142
00:07:32,839 --> 00:07:35,800
this were a different era, you would almost watch that

143
00:07:35,879 --> 00:07:37,920
closing segment and think that they were setting up for

144
00:07:37,959 --> 00:07:40,199
a big tag match in the main event of SummerSlam.

145
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:41,519
Except they're not.

146
00:07:42,759 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 2: They're not.

147
00:07:43,199 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 1: They're definitely not with Jalen Brunson. If you saw the

148
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:49,759
cast on his wrist, he didn't do anything physical. Neither

149
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:53,439
did Halliburton. He's coming off a pretty serious injury too.

150
00:07:53,519 --> 00:07:57,959
But yeah, we were definitely getting some Rodman and Malone

151
00:07:58,079 --> 00:08:00,399
vibes from what was going on there the end of

152
00:08:00,399 --> 00:08:03,399
the show. Look, I saw it for what it was,

153
00:08:03,839 --> 00:08:08,160
where WWEE can tap into pop culture, where WWE can

154
00:08:08,199 --> 00:08:13,360
tap into sports, right, the Knicks were all the rage

155
00:08:13,519 --> 00:08:15,600
where they can tap into that and use that in

156
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:18,240
their mind to help promote their own product and their

157
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:22,720
own stars. They are going to do that, and so

158
00:08:22,879 --> 00:08:24,560
this is what you end up with. You end up

159
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:26,519
with a segment on the show that felt very out

160
00:08:26,519 --> 00:08:28,879
of place. It felt like if they were gonna have

161
00:08:28,879 --> 00:08:32,559
a big Madison Square Gardens Super show. Perfect segment for that,

162
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:35,799
But I don't know that most people watching really gave

163
00:08:36,039 --> 00:08:38,600
a flying fuck about what they saw in that closing segment.

164
00:08:38,639 --> 00:08:41,519
The real main event on this show came before that.

165
00:08:42,279 --> 00:08:47,159
It was Cody Rhoads and cmpunk Can they coexist? Tag

166
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:51,480
team partners against Gunther and Sammy's Ain And we had

167
00:08:51,639 --> 00:08:55,320
a big stipulation added to the match last night on Smackdom,

168
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:58,360
where if the Heels won, they would be added to

169
00:08:58,399 --> 00:09:01,120
the championship match at summers to make it a fatal

170
00:09:01,159 --> 00:09:04,639
four way, which got a lot of people talking and thinking, well,

171
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:05,919
maybe we're gonna get a four way.

172
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:06,200
Speaker 2: Right.

173
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 1: That answers the question about what Sammy's Ain going to

174
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:11,879
be doing at SummerSlam, except that it flies in the

175
00:09:11,879 --> 00:09:14,679
face of the obvious match for Gunther, which was against

176
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:18,320
Nick Aldis who we saw tonight. In fact, Nick Aldas

177
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:22,120
played a direct role in Gunther and Sammy's Ain losing

178
00:09:22,399 --> 00:09:26,519
the match. So, as of this moment, the championship match

179
00:09:26,519 --> 00:09:30,440
at SummerSlam remains one on one for the moment. For

180
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:34,840
the moment, it remains one on one between Cody Rhodes

181
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:40,000
and cmpunk, And it makes you wonder, now we know

182
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:42,679
what Gunther's path is going to be right now, there

183
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:45,200
can be no doubt we're gonna see Nick all this

184
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:49,759
don the tights once again. He'll be wrestling Gunther. But

185
00:09:49,879 --> 00:09:55,919
what does Sammy Zain do at SummerSlam. You watch this, Sammy,

186
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:59,919
through no fault of his own, once again got fun

187
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:04,639
over tonight. Sammy's Ain got screwed. Sammy's Ain is going

188
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:09,879
to blow a gasket over the general manager of his show.

189
00:10:11,759 --> 00:10:15,919
This is his boss who interfered in the match and

190
00:10:16,039 --> 00:10:20,200
directly cost him an opportunity to challenge for the WWE Championship.

191
00:10:20,799 --> 00:10:25,399
He didn't do anything wrong. It would only be fair

192
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:29,120
for Sammy to be compensated in some way. Nor, by

193
00:10:29,159 --> 00:10:31,720
the way, did he take the losing fall in this match?

194
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:36,039
Are they going to add Sammy's ain and make it

195
00:10:36,039 --> 00:10:39,240
a triple threat match at Summer Slim? At the very least,

196
00:10:39,639 --> 00:10:43,200
there should be a promise made, a guarantee that, Okay,

197
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:47,039
the match for SummerSlam, we ain't changing it, but you

198
00:10:47,159 --> 00:10:50,039
get first cracket whoever walks out of Minneapolis with the

199
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:53,720
WWE title, maybe even that first SmackDown coming out of

200
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:57,559
Summer Slim. You earned a championship rematch, you have yet

201
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:00,960
to receive one. You got fucked over at Madame Square Garden.

202
00:11:01,519 --> 00:11:04,679
You get first DIBs on that title coming out a

203
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:09,279
Summer Slim. There has to be some sort of guarantee

204
00:11:09,399 --> 00:11:11,720
that is made to Sammy, especially if he's not going

205
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:14,240
to be added to the match at Summer Slim, because

206
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:16,159
I don't know what else he's doing on that show.

207
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:20,679
Probably nothing, So we'll see how that shakes out, because

208
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:23,159
it's very unfair if you really think about it. I mean,

209
00:11:23,159 --> 00:11:26,120
come on, now, I understand you know Nick All, this

210
00:11:27,159 --> 00:11:31,360
you know has animus towards Gunther for beating him up

211
00:11:31,399 --> 00:11:34,200
a couple of weeks ago. But sammy' zaying kind of

212
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:36,840
got caught in the crossfire here, so we'll see how

213
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,480
that story plays out. And again they played, you know,

214
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:43,559
some tension between Cody and Punk. There were some miscommunications

215
00:11:43,639 --> 00:11:46,919
during the main event. Otherwise they got along fine. I

216
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:49,440
will say when the match was over, I was watching Cody,

217
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:52,600
not even Punk. I had my eyes on Cody Roads

218
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:55,360
the way that he was acting. I thought for a

219
00:11:55,399 --> 00:11:57,919
moment there he was gonna smack Punk right in the face.

220
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:00,360
It felt to me like we might actually get Cody

221
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:01,759
roades heelter and on this show.

222
00:12:02,759 --> 00:12:03,320
Speaker 2: And he didn't.

223
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 1: You know, he kind of raised Punk's hand and everything

224
00:12:05,279 --> 00:12:07,480
was all hunky dory between them, and I love how

225
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:10,080
he Punk. He gives Punk the belt because he's staring

226
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:13,799
at the championship and he hands Punk the belt and

227
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:16,159
Punk goes to sling it over his shoulder and the

228
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:19,919
strap smacks Cody right in the eye, and Cody's just

229
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:22,000
standing there like he's going like this, he goes what

230
00:12:22,039 --> 00:12:26,559
the fuck, dude? Like so again, little little moments like

231
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:31,360
that are going to lead to tensions boiling over. Probably

232
00:12:31,399 --> 00:12:34,840
next Friday. I'm still waiting on that big, that big promo,

233
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:39,000
big promo segment between Cody and Punk. I really enjoyed

234
00:12:39,039 --> 00:12:42,360
that match. It was NonStop, It never let up. It

235
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:44,639
was not sluggish at all. Really from the opening bell,

236
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:46,399
they went at it. They picked up where they left

237
00:12:46,399 --> 00:12:49,759
off at the end of SmackDown on Friday, and as

238
00:12:49,799 --> 00:12:51,799
I said, it was a one match show. I thought

239
00:12:51,799 --> 00:12:54,799
that one match delivered. We also have new women's tag

240
00:12:54,799 --> 00:12:58,000
team champions. Not a shock at all if you really

241
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:01,000
pay attention to what's been going on, and it was

242
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:04,000
absolutely the right move to make. So we have new

243
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:08,120
women's tag team champions. We had Bailey and Lyra had

244
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:10,120
a singles match. We'll get into what happened there. I

245
00:13:10,159 --> 00:13:11,840
already see a lot of people who is this it

246
00:13:11,919 --> 00:13:15,519
for Bailey? This was Bailey's swan song. She's done with

247
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:21,840
WW Pump the brakes, cool, your jets, don't jump the gun.

248
00:13:23,039 --> 00:13:24,919
We'll talk about what happened in that match a little

249
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:28,399
bit later on. We also got some news tonight because

250
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:33,159
during the show, WWE made an announcement pertaining to WrestleMania

251
00:13:33,279 --> 00:13:36,399
forty three next year, and no, they are not moving

252
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:40,360
it out of Riod. I feel like there could be

253
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:44,240
like an atomic bomb blast and they still wouldn't move

254
00:13:44,279 --> 00:13:46,799
WrestleMania out of Riod because there's just too much money

255
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:49,480
to lose out on. But they did announce that on

256
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:53,039
both nights of WrestleMania next year. In New York City,

257
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:56,080
there's a venue there, the Theater at Madison Square Garden.

258
00:13:56,399 --> 00:13:59,960
NXT has had some shows there before. I think, oh god,

259
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:02,000
what's the name of it now? The name has changed

260
00:14:02,039 --> 00:14:04,039
so many times over the years. It used to actually

261
00:14:04,039 --> 00:14:06,360
be the Theater of Madison Square Guard was it the Info

262
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:10,679
Cis Theater? These fucking stupid names now. But they're actually

263
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:15,399
hosting two shows, one after WrestleMania Night one and one

264
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:19,639
after WrestleMania Night too, because remember, because it's in Saudi,

265
00:14:20,159 --> 00:14:23,799
it'll be airing probably one o'clock Eastern time here. So

266
00:14:23,919 --> 00:14:28,960
when WrestleMania ends live locally in New York City, they're

267
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:33,440
gonna have a triple A show after WrestleMania. Well, actually

268
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:36,159
they didn't say which night my guess would be the

269
00:14:36,159 --> 00:14:39,080
Triple A Show will take place after WrestleMania Night one,

270
00:14:39,679 --> 00:14:43,840
and there will be an NXT show very likely taking

271
00:14:43,879 --> 00:14:45,519
place after WrestleMania Night two.

272
00:14:45,519 --> 00:14:46,799
Speaker 2: Again, that would be my guess.

273
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 1: The Triple A show, they're calling it Triple A Eternal Glory.

274
00:14:51,159 --> 00:14:53,240
The NXT show is going to be Stand and Deliver,

275
00:14:54,159 --> 00:14:57,200
and they're going to be having WrestleMania Watch parties in

276
00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:59,039
the theater they are actually it might actually be in

277
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:03,279
Madison Square Garden itself during each night of WrestleMania, so

278
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:07,639
they're loading up those days. Ain't nobody going to want

279
00:15:07,639 --> 00:15:11,639
to be running shows anywhere either night of wrestle Media.

280
00:15:11,759 --> 00:15:14,240
I think it would be very stupid for anybody to

281
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:19,360
run shows on those actual days other than WWE. I do, however,

282
00:15:20,159 --> 00:15:24,720
hope that a certain someone is planning a nice week

283
00:15:24,919 --> 00:15:28,480
of events or several days of events somewhere else here

284
00:15:28,519 --> 00:15:31,720
in the States leading up to WrestleMania weekend. This really

285
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:34,600
doesn't have an impact on that, but we had that

286
00:15:34,919 --> 00:15:39,080
breaking news tonight. By the way, speaking of breaking news,

287
00:15:39,879 --> 00:15:43,360
for those of you who may be interested, WWE now

288
00:15:43,399 --> 00:15:48,519
has Summer Slam tickets discounted as low as twenty five dollars.

289
00:15:49,639 --> 00:15:52,360
You knew this was coming. I mean, come on now,

290
00:15:52,639 --> 00:15:54,879
if you pay any attention to what the ticket sales

291
00:15:54,879 --> 00:15:56,960
are for Summer Slim. For those of you who give

292
00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:00,960
a shit, I know some people don't. They ain't good.

293
00:16:01,759 --> 00:16:04,559
Not in a stadium that fits sixty to seventy thousand people.

294
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:07,159
They have less than twenty five thousand tickets out for

295
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:08,559
each night of Summer Slim.

296
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 2: So this is what happens. Now.

297
00:16:10,639 --> 00:16:14,200
Speaker 1: We have tickets that are discounted down to twenty five bucks.

298
00:16:14,559 --> 00:16:17,120
There are lower bowl seats. If you go on ticket

299
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:20,799
Master right now, you can get certain lower bowl seats

300
00:16:21,559 --> 00:16:25,240
at us Bank Stadium for as little as forty three dollars,

301
00:16:25,879 --> 00:16:27,360
which is great news for the fans.

302
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:28,080
Speaker 2: So those of you, I.

303
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:31,639
Speaker 1: Mean genuinely who have been waiting or maybe you're local

304
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:35,000
and you've been thinking about going to Summer Slim, now's

305
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:39,799
your chance because prices have dropped. And that was inevitable

306
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:42,519
because when you price people out, eventually they reach their

307
00:16:42,519 --> 00:16:46,519
breaking point and they're like, I can't go, or you

308
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:48,360
know what, it ain't worth it for me to go.

309
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:50,799
So if you want to get in, go ahead and

310
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:54,840
get in on that. This is your Saturday Night's Main

311
00:16:54,919 --> 00:17:00,279
Event review. It is July eighteenth, twenty twenty six. I

312
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:03,919
am the solemn monster that's by the concession stand. Yeah,

313
00:17:04,039 --> 00:17:06,279
it didn't say if it was obstructed view. I should

314
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:10,200
point that out. Be like a freaking pole that's in

315
00:17:10,279 --> 00:17:14,519
the way blocking your view. It's possible. Pay attention to

316
00:17:14,519 --> 00:17:16,240
what kind of ticket it is. I didn't see what

317
00:17:16,319 --> 00:17:18,440
kind of tickets they are. I just saw the prices.

318
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:22,799
Twenty five dollars tickets and forty three dollars tickets, very

319
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:26,480
unlike WWA. It could very yes, it could very well

320
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:30,440
be next to the bathroom. It could be in the

321
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:36,319
broom closet. I don't know. Liken subscribe, superchats are open.

322
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:39,480
I will be reading all of your messages. If you're

323
00:17:39,519 --> 00:17:41,680
new here, you'll see them popping up on screen, and

324
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:44,960
I will be shouting you out as we go along

325
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:46,720
here in the stream. And a little bit later on

326
00:17:46,839 --> 00:17:51,359
and we have the Wheel o Fun, That's what I

327
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:58,640
call it. Since the Wheel of Fortune is trademarked at

328
00:17:58,759 --> 00:18:02,400
I think the Learning Tree is also a trademark. I'm

329
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:04,200
pretty sure Jericho trademarks everything.

330
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:05,119
Speaker 2: Fuck that.

331
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:08,799
Speaker 1: I'd be shocked if it wasn't trademarked Spin the Wheel

332
00:18:08,799 --> 00:18:12,480
and find out how many likes we need for our

333
00:18:12,839 --> 00:18:18,039
Be the Booker segment Saturday Night's Main Event edition. We

334
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:22,240
got to do one for Saturday Night's Main Event. Be

335
00:18:22,279 --> 00:18:26,440
weird if we didn't. But can we make it happen?

336
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:30,119
Five hundred likes? It's going to be a journey to

337
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:32,039
get there. We're at two hundred and seventy five. Five

338
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:35,920
hundred likes minimum is the goal tonight on a Saturday.

339
00:18:35,559 --> 00:18:37,480
Speaker 2: Night for Be the Booker.

340
00:18:37,559 --> 00:18:41,599
Speaker 1: Yesn't directly behind a column? Did they have columns there

341
00:18:41,799 --> 00:18:43,880
to the US Bank Stadium. I've not been there.

342
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:47,440
Speaker 2: They might. I don't know.

343
00:18:47,599 --> 00:18:50,039
Speaker 1: Am I excited for the return of the pain Maker?

344
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:55,640
I was feeling some pain when I watched that return

345
00:18:55,720 --> 00:19:00,240
vignette on Dynamite the other night. I think he looks

346
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:06,480
completely ridiculous. That's what I think. Although I heard there

347
00:19:06,519 --> 00:19:10,279
was a new stipulation added to his match tonight with

348
00:19:10,599 --> 00:19:13,599
Tomaso Champa. I'll have to go back and see what

349
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:16,680
I missed. But let's talk about this first. They added

350
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:20,079
a match. Ugh, I'm sure this took everything in Paul

351
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:23,680
av I mean, he was probably twitching. He was twitching

352
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,880
when somebody suggested to him maybe we should have a

353
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:30,559
fifth match on this show, and he said, I'll compromise

354
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:32,440
with you. We'll put it on the pre show, which

355
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:34,880
is something WWE is not done for a very long time.

356
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:36,720
When was the last time they had pre show matches.

357
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:40,559
I can't remember the last time they had pre show matches,

358
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:43,079
but we got one tonight. It was added very late,

359
00:19:43,759 --> 00:19:48,680
non title with the United States Champion Trick Williams going

360
00:19:48,759 --> 00:19:54,480
one on one with Laredo Kid. Very very random, but okay, hey,

361
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:57,160
the more the merrier because we don't get enough matches

362
00:19:57,759 --> 00:20:01,599
on these shows. Late in the match. This aired, by

363
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:03,279
the way, on the pre show, as I mentioned, so

364
00:20:03,599 --> 00:20:06,920
either on the YouTube channel. I think it was also

365
00:20:07,279 --> 00:20:10,160
airing on Peacock Is where you could go back and

366
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:15,160
watch it. Laredo Kid, he counted a bookend into a

367
00:20:15,279 --> 00:20:17,920
roll up only for a two count. He then dove

368
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:19,960
out of the ring onto Trick from the top of

369
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:23,440
the ring post and he basically completely missed Trick and

370
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:27,160
he just crashed and burned on the floor. Took Trick

371
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:30,319
down anyway, and then put him back in the ring.

372
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:34,559
They ended up back inside. Trick was able to finish

373
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:37,039
him off with the trick shot knee and he picked

374
00:20:37,079 --> 00:20:39,680
up the win. Not much else to say about it.

375
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:43,839
It was a match, wasn't great, wasn't terrible. At least

376
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:47,519
we got some more action. We don't get enough action

377
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:51,559
on these shows. And I also think that they should

378
00:20:51,559 --> 00:20:53,599
be doing more pre show matches. I'm not saying they

379
00:20:53,599 --> 00:20:56,519
have to fill them up, even if it's just one match.

380
00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:58,559
You know, it's okay to have a pre show match.

381
00:21:00,079 --> 00:21:03,759
You won't die unless you do dives like Laredo Kid

382
00:21:03,799 --> 00:21:08,000
did where he almost died. The main card, what a

383
00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:12,119
card it was. It opened with Bribella and Page defending

384
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:15,640
their WWE Women's Tag Team Championships against Vallon Henley and

385
00:21:15,759 --> 00:21:18,680
Laney Reed Fatal Influence, who made their way out to

386
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:25,799
the ring with J. C. Jane Yes, comedic genius. I

387
00:21:25,839 --> 00:21:29,119
couldnot have put it any better. It was a match

388
00:21:29,279 --> 00:21:35,720
of all time. That's exactly what it was. The last

389
00:21:35,759 --> 00:21:37,839
time we saw this match, the titles were not on

390
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:40,920
the line. It was a non title match and the

391
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:44,200
champions beat the challengers, challengers being the ones that we

392
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:47,559
had tonight, So for them to go in there tonight

393
00:21:47,759 --> 00:21:53,640
and lose again would have been death death for fatal influence.

394
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:59,720
There was only one possible outcome here now. Bribella posted

395
00:21:59,759 --> 00:22:02,319
a the other day on her social media of a

396
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:06,519
training session with her husband, Brian Danielson, who was teaching

397
00:22:06,519 --> 00:22:08,680
her some new moves. So I was watching with a

398
00:22:08,759 --> 00:22:10,640
keen eye here to see if Brie was going to

399
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:13,839
bust out any moves that I've not seen her use before.

400
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:18,000
The answer is no, unless I miss something here. I

401
00:22:18,039 --> 00:22:20,920
didn't see anything out of the ordinary from her. He

402
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:24,079
was showing her some cool stuff too, but I didn't

403
00:22:24,079 --> 00:22:26,599
pick up on it here. Landy made a blind tag

404
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:29,839
early in the match. She necked Page right across the

405
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:33,000
top rope and they worked her over until she eventually

406
00:22:33,039 --> 00:22:35,720
made the hot tag to Brie, who dished out the

407
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:39,119
s kicks to Fallon, who was bleeding from the mouth.

408
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:39,960
Speaker 2: And I didn't see.

409
00:22:39,839 --> 00:22:43,720
Speaker 1: How it happened, but it was kind of like splattered

410
00:22:43,759 --> 00:22:47,440
across her face and her chin. So that was the

411
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:50,880
first incident incidents of blood here on this show. Not

412
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:55,359
the last good thing. This was on Peacock. Oh my god.

413
00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:58,400
Can you imagine if this was on Netflix? On the replay,

414
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:01,480
they would put a giant blur over her head. You

415
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:05,400
wouldn't even be able to tell who it is. So

416
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:09,319
Brie screamed Bri mode, to a very tepid reaction from

417
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:12,440
the crowd in New York City, and she worked over

418
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:15,200
both heels. Eventually, though they were able to cut her down.

419
00:23:15,599 --> 00:23:18,799
So Page was setting up for her finish when Jace

420
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:23,000
Jane climbed up on the apron to run distraction Fallon.

421
00:23:23,039 --> 00:23:25,519
Henley ran in she closed lined Page to break up

422
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:30,240
the finish attempt. Page avoided a charging Lany Reid, who

423
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:33,440
posted herself shoulder first, and then Page tried to roll

424
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:36,359
her up fallon Henley, though was holding her partner's arms.

425
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:40,680
So Brie comes in. She takes out Fallon and that

426
00:23:40,799 --> 00:23:45,000
allows Page to roll up breed Jace, though from the floor.

427
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:48,359
Actually she might have gotten up on the apron, but

428
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:53,039
Jace reaches in and she was able to push Page

429
00:23:53,799 --> 00:23:56,440
kind of backwards so that Laney ended up on top

430
00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:59,039
of her for the three count to win the tag

431
00:23:59,079 --> 00:24:02,519
team titles. And this made Jessica Carr look like a

432
00:24:02,799 --> 00:24:07,079
blithering idiot because on commentary they tried to explain, oh,

433
00:24:07,079 --> 00:24:12,359
the referee didn't see it. Jessica didn't see Jace Jane interfering. Yes,

434
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:14,839
she did, and if she didn't, then she should not

435
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:17,559
be allowed to referee and she should immediately have to

436
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:21,839
undergo a medical evaluation to check her eyesight, because there

437
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:25,079
is no way that Jessica Carr did not see Jace

438
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:28,359
Jane interfere in this match, but she had to pretend

439
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:34,400
as if she didn't, and so the finish looked very bad. However,

440
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:37,559
we now have the end of a scream mode, right.

441
00:24:38,039 --> 00:24:39,880
I don't know. I don't know if there's still going

442
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:41,240
to be a tag team or not. I don't see

443
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:44,559
the point. Frankly feels like they should be going their

444
00:24:44,599 --> 00:24:46,920
separate ways. I don't know where Nikki Bella is in

445
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:50,559
her recovery. Maybe she's on her way back soon, but

446
00:24:50,599 --> 00:24:54,119
they are no longer the tag team champions. Fallon and

447
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:57,680
Laney again. They had to win this match. They had to.

448
00:24:58,559 --> 00:25:01,400
Not only did they lose in that non title match

449
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:03,599
a few weeks ago, but Jacy Jane goes into this

450
00:25:03,759 --> 00:25:09,519
qualifying match on SmackDown last night against Tiffany Stratton and loses.

451
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:14,279
She can't even qualify to occupy one of the five

452
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:20,200
spots in the Women's Championship Ladder match at summerslimt. Can

453
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:23,559
you imagine if Fallon and Laney roll on into Madison

454
00:25:23,599 --> 00:25:26,880
Square Garden tonight lose for a second time coming off

455
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:30,960
the JC loss, I would start asking questions about who

456
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:34,279
has it in for these three? Thankfully it went the

457
00:25:34,319 --> 00:25:37,200
other way. Not that they have a ton of other

458
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:39,599
teams to really work with, but this was a title

459
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:41,839
change that was much needed. I don't have a whole

460
00:25:41,839 --> 00:25:44,279
lot to say about the match itself. Again, it was

461
00:25:44,319 --> 00:25:46,960
a match of all time, but it was the right

462
00:25:47,039 --> 00:25:53,000
outcome for sure. Now we go backstage and we are

463
00:25:53,079 --> 00:25:56,680
joined by the learning Stree. We've seed a lot of

464
00:25:56,759 --> 00:26:01,640
came over the last twenty four hours. Fuck that we

465
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:04,519
have seen more of Jericho in the last twenty four

466
00:26:04,559 --> 00:26:08,039
hours here on these streams than we have seen of

467
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:11,400
him so far. In twenty twenty six on AW Television,

468
00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:20,799
shout out to Tone C celebrating six months of channel membership.

469
00:26:22,279 --> 00:26:24,440
Kathy Kelly is in the back. Can I just say

470
00:26:24,559 --> 00:26:29,440
Kathy Kelly looking amazing tonight? I just had to say

471
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:32,920
that she was interviewing Sammy's ain who said that he

472
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:36,839
hasn't been talking of late because he has to choose

473
00:26:36,839 --> 00:26:39,359
his words very carefully. He's gonna have to choose his

474
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:44,839
words even more carefully after what happened tonight, said that

475
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:47,960
he's not a victim, but everything that has happened to

476
00:26:48,039 --> 00:26:51,720
him has been egregious. All CM Punk and Cody Rhodes

477
00:26:51,759 --> 00:26:54,880
had to say is when and they get their big

478
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:58,640
championship match at SummerSlam, where as he has had to

479
00:26:58,759 --> 00:27:04,039
fight and scratch and claw for ten years. Gunther shows

480
00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:06,920
up and he tells Sammy, stay out of my way

481
00:27:07,559 --> 00:27:12,119
and don't ruin SummerSlam for me, and he walks off.

482
00:27:14,319 --> 00:27:17,960
Then they had their favorite segment of the night. They

483
00:27:18,039 --> 00:27:21,440
showed all of the influencers and all of these celebrities

484
00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:24,920
that were in attendance in the house here at Madison

485
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:28,920
Square Garden for the big show tonight. They showed Terence Crawford,

486
00:27:29,599 --> 00:27:34,079
a retired boxer. They showed Osha Jackson Junior. They showed

487
00:27:34,079 --> 00:27:37,359
Trick Williams coming off his win earlier on the pre show,

488
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:43,279
and they showed an influencer named Neon. Neon got into

489
00:27:43,279 --> 00:27:47,279
some trouble earlier today because and I think this was

490
00:27:47,319 --> 00:27:50,400
at I think this was at Fanatics Fest. It could

491
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:52,000
have been backstage at the Garden, but I want to

492
00:27:52,039 --> 00:27:55,720
say it was a fanatics fest and he was I

493
00:27:55,759 --> 00:27:59,000
think live streaming. So there's a camera following him around.

494
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:03,799
He's filming and Penta comes walking by, but no mask.

495
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:09,480
He's maskless, and you could hear Penta tell him like,

496
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:12,720
please don't please, don't show that, please don't post that.

497
00:28:13,039 --> 00:28:16,880
You know, no, I'm a mass star, and Neon's like, oh,

498
00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:19,839
I'm so sorry. But I think he was live streaming.

499
00:28:20,799 --> 00:28:23,039
So it kind of went out to the world and

500
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:25,279
I think and maybe that happened yesterday because I think

501
00:28:25,319 --> 00:28:27,799
he showed up today and they like banned him from

502
00:28:27,839 --> 00:28:31,119
streaming or there was some big controversy, there was fallout

503
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:33,559
from what had happened. I mean, it didn't seem like

504
00:28:33,559 --> 00:28:36,480
anything malicious. He was live on kick okay, so that's

505
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:39,440
what it was. Anyway, I don't know too much about

506
00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:41,319
this guy, but that was a pretty fucking stupid thing

507
00:28:41,359 --> 00:28:46,240
to do. So anyway, fucked around, found out apparently he

508
00:28:46,279 --> 00:28:48,680
was he was banned I guess today.

509
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:49,519
Speaker 2: But there he was.

510
00:28:49,599 --> 00:28:55,400
Speaker 1: They showed him on TV. After this, we had Dan Hausen.

511
00:28:56,640 --> 00:29:01,200
See Jalen Brunson was not the only hero in New

512
00:29:01,279 --> 00:29:05,119
York City tonight. We had the true man responsible even

513
00:29:05,119 --> 00:29:08,559
more than Jalen Brunson, the man responsible for the New

514
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:13,279
York Knicks ending their fifty three year drought winning the championship.

515
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:18,680
See this is what I think. Jalen Brunson apparently played

516
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:22,400
through all the playoffs and the finals with an injured

517
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:25,160
wrist for which he needed surgery when the season was over,

518
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:27,440
and I think the only reason that he was able

519
00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:28,960
to make it through and play as well as he

520
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:33,160
was able to play is because of Dan Housen. So

521
00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:35,160
he built up a lot of really good will with

522
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:36,799
the fans here in New York City. He had a

523
00:29:36,799 --> 00:29:40,720
singles match, a rare Dan Housen singles match against j

524
00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:44,160
D McDonough. Even more rare, frankly, the fact that JD

525
00:29:44,279 --> 00:29:46,680
McDonough had a singles match on a Saturday Night's made event.

526
00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:53,319
That's pretty fucking rare. This was no disqualification, now, Dan Housen.

527
00:29:53,319 --> 00:29:57,000
For those of you who haven't been paying attention, this

528
00:29:57,039 --> 00:30:00,440
story started with a segment that I do not believe

529
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:03,440
aired on the actual television show. I believe it was

530
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:06,359
shot for the Socials were the judgment Day paid him

531
00:30:06,359 --> 00:30:09,039
one hundred thousand dollars to put a curse on Obafemi

532
00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:14,279
and Dan Housen said, oh, hold on a second, Obafemi, Yeah,

533
00:30:14,319 --> 00:30:17,000
I don't think so. But they claimed he stole the

534
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:19,160
money you owe us one hundred thousand dollars and it

535
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:23,480
was kind of born out of that. And he also

536
00:30:23,559 --> 00:30:27,759
put a curse on Live Morgan and that was a

537
00:30:27,799 --> 00:30:29,960
while back. So Live Morgan lost her a Queen of

538
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:32,559
the Ring match to EO Sky. So Dan Housen has

539
00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:35,960
not a lot of friends in the judgment day and

540
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:38,680
that's all led to this. They had a Dan Housen blimp,

541
00:30:39,319 --> 00:30:43,240
by the way, that was flying around. Remember thirty years

542
00:30:43,279 --> 00:30:46,640
ago was the Stridex blimp at Summer Slam that they

543
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:48,839
had in the building. Oh my god, that was like

544
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:55,960
their title sponsor back then, stridex zippads. My god, it

545
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:59,559
just reminded myself of the Stridex blimp. You know, they

546
00:30:59,599 --> 00:31:02,960
should have you know, just like most pimples, they should

547
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:04,960
have popped the blimp while it was in the air

548
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:07,480
and then the blimp would just kind of fall on

549
00:31:07,559 --> 00:31:11,720
someone in the crowd. It's a horrible idea anyway, So

550
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:15,559
mcdonoughh entered with liv Morgan and Dominic mysterio. Live didn't

551
00:31:15,559 --> 00:31:19,119
stick around though, Dom accompanied him to ring.

552
00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:19,640
Speaker 2: I don't know why.

553
00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:21,720
Speaker 1: I live felt she had to go backstage. It means

554
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:26,519
notice qualification. She's basically a manager now anyway, she doesn't

555
00:31:26,519 --> 00:31:30,119
do anything else. I don't know why she didn't stick around.

556
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:34,400
Dom though, had the New York Knicks jersey, the custom

557
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:36,839
jersey that was gifted to Dan Housen that has his

558
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:38,880
name on it that they stole from him a few

559
00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:43,920
weeks ago. Dom had the Knicks jersey. Dan Housen entered

560
00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:47,160
in his Dan Housend Mobile. He abandoned it on the stage,

561
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:50,359
and then we see the cloning Machine is back. This

562
00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:54,200
is foreshadowing. Cloning Machine was just sitting there right there

563
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:54,720
on stage.

564
00:31:56,319 --> 00:31:56,880
Speaker 2: So here we go.

565
00:31:56,920 --> 00:32:00,000
Speaker 1: We're gonna have this match and as soon as I mean, look,

566
00:32:00,079 --> 00:32:02,119
dan Housen's in it. So that right there tells you

567
00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:04,680
there's going to be some shenanigans. But once they made

568
00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:06,680
a notice qualification, you knew that there was going to

569
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:10,480
be all kinds of high jinks and comedy and bullshit. Right,

570
00:32:10,519 --> 00:32:13,960
you kind of know what to expect going into it.

571
00:32:14,039 --> 00:32:16,720
The bell rings. Dan Housen. The first thing he does

572
00:32:16,759 --> 00:32:20,200
is he tries to curse McDonough and he very quickly

573
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:24,319
rolls out to the floor, gonna go confer with a

574
00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:29,200
dirty dom. So Dominic was able to distract dan Housen,

575
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:34,279
which allowed McDonough to ambush him from behind, and he

576
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:37,079
sent dan Housen outside. Dan Housen was being bounced off

577
00:32:37,119 --> 00:32:39,599
the barricades. He was getting the shit kicked out of him.

578
00:32:40,759 --> 00:32:45,079
So back inside, dan Housen got supplexed and dom was

579
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:50,160
using the Nick jersey to clean his shoes. Fans did

580
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:52,200
not like that. When they showed that on the big screen,

581
00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:55,079
they started booing very They're probably booing this more than

582
00:32:55,079 --> 00:32:58,839
anything else on the show up to this point. McDonough

583
00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:02,319
then dropped dan Housen with the Brainbuster. So then McDonough

584
00:33:02,599 --> 00:33:07,079
grabbed the jersey from Dom and he wiped his ass

585
00:33:07,119 --> 00:33:11,720
with it, and that got him some heat. He went

586
00:33:11,759 --> 00:33:14,680
for a moon salt. Nobody home. Dan Housen was able

587
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:17,440
to move out of the way and he was able

588
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:19,640
to get his jersey back. He put the jersey on

589
00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:23,759
and he no sold some strikes. I guess the jersey

590
00:33:23,799 --> 00:33:26,680
brought him some great power. I guess because he went

591
00:33:26,759 --> 00:33:30,319
on offense. Dom got into the ring. Dan Housen suplexed

592
00:33:30,359 --> 00:33:34,119
him McDonough went for a slam dan house encountered and

593
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:38,079
lighted him out, but then Dom attacked dan Housen from behind,

594
00:33:38,599 --> 00:33:41,079
and now it's two on one and they're stomping the

595
00:33:41,079 --> 00:33:44,039
crap out of this guy. So McDonough tears the jersey

596
00:33:44,079 --> 00:33:46,559
off dan Housen, who rolls out of the ring and

597
00:33:46,599 --> 00:33:49,559
he starts going down the aisle towards the stage like

598
00:33:49,599 --> 00:33:54,920
he's leaving. Meanwhile, Dom and McDonough back at ringset, right

599
00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:57,359
in front of the announcers. They go under the ring

600
00:33:57,400 --> 00:34:02,200
and they pull out a slim gym table, got your

601
00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:05,839
branded tables? What was the logo by the way in

602
00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:07,160
the middle of the ring to Oh, it was a

603
00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:10,480
KFC logo? Is that what I think? That's what I

604
00:34:10,519 --> 00:34:13,400
was going to ask, Like, they had this giant logo

605
00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:14,880
in the middle of the ring and I couldn't tell

606
00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:15,639
it first what it was.

607
00:34:15,679 --> 00:34:16,920
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure it was KFC.

608
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:22,840
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, look back in the day in WCW

609
00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:26,000
it was Snickers. Yeah, the giant Snickers logo on the mat.

610
00:34:26,199 --> 00:34:32,360
Now it's KFC, all very healthy stuff. But they pulled

611
00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:37,599
his table out from underneath the ring, and in doing so,

612
00:34:38,079 --> 00:34:40,920
they pull out a bunch of many, Dan housens, I

613
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:43,400
think there were three of them, two of them, three

614
00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:46,840
of them. They're tiny, so I mean my count could

615
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:50,559
be off. So Dom and JD they try to fend

616
00:34:50,599 --> 00:34:53,800
them off. And meanwhile dan Hausen went back to the stage.

617
00:34:54,039 --> 00:34:57,920
He has his little cage with the stuffed animal in it.

618
00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:00,159
It's a cat. This goes back to his segment on

619
00:35:00,199 --> 00:35:02,960
SmackDown last night where he was being interviewed by Jackie Redman,

620
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:06,400
who said, you turned down Matt Cardon is offered to

621
00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:08,880
watch your back. It's Saturday night's main events. Are you

622
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:13,199
sure that's the smart move? A wise move? And dan

623
00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:16,480
Hausen showed us this little cage with a with a

624
00:35:16,519 --> 00:35:21,719
fake cat, stuffed animal inside, and I told you, I

625
00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:24,199
told you last night exactly who it was going to be.

626
00:35:24,199 --> 00:35:26,960
Because people are like cats, Oh my gods, Ernest the

627
00:35:27,039 --> 00:35:29,280
cat Miller going to show up, Like what the fuck

628
00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:32,360
are you talking about? And the crowd goes mild, Yeah,

629
00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:36,719
that'd be great, let's send Ernest Miller out there. But

630
00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:39,719
people were like, I wonder what he means by that. Well,

631
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:41,840
I mean, especially if you're if you're a fan of

632
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:44,400
the Knicks, or if you're from New York. It's really

633
00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:46,320
not that hard to put two and two together about

634
00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:48,559
what was going to happen here. Once I saw the

635
00:35:48,599 --> 00:35:52,000
cloning machine, it was pretty clear who was popping out

636
00:35:52,039 --> 00:35:55,320
of that machine. But he throws the there's like a

637
00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:58,320
little compartment, a little door on the bottom of the

638
00:35:58,559 --> 00:36:01,079
cloning machine. He puts the the cage in there with

639
00:36:01,119 --> 00:36:04,639
the cat, and it didn't happen right away. They cut

640
00:36:04,679 --> 00:36:06,960
back to ringside and again they're dealing with the little

641
00:36:07,039 --> 00:36:12,800
mini dan Housens. But they were about to power bomb

642
00:36:13,679 --> 00:36:17,559
one of the mini houses through the table in the

643
00:36:17,639 --> 00:36:20,400
ring and the cloning machine is starting to make noise

644
00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:25,719
it's working, and then it finishes and the door opens,

645
00:36:26,199 --> 00:36:29,719
and there's smoke that billows out of the cloning machine,

646
00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:39,119
and here comes Cat Kat Carl Anthony Towns of the

647
00:36:39,159 --> 00:36:41,719
New York Knicks, who of course gets a big pot

648
00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:43,679
from the crowd here in New York. This is a

649
00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:48,880
giant man. How tall is Cat? He's a big guy.

650
00:36:49,159 --> 00:36:52,599
It's got to be everybits six foot eight. And so

651
00:36:52,679 --> 00:36:55,480
he and they shoot this in a way where like

652
00:36:55,519 --> 00:36:58,400
they used to shoot andre like this, where the cameraman

653
00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:00,880
would crouch down to make a look even bigger than

654
00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:04,639
he really was. And so here comes Karl Anthony Towns

655
00:37:04,639 --> 00:37:06,239
and he's coming down to the ring, you know, with

656
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:10,400
Dan Housen, and he steps over the top rope like

657
00:37:10,519 --> 00:37:15,800
Andre used to do, and he grabs McDonough by the

658
00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:19,159
throat and all mcdonah has to I mean, mcdonn's doing

659
00:37:19,199 --> 00:37:21,519
all the work here, right, All JD has to do

660
00:37:21,599 --> 00:37:24,360
is just jump up in the air, and he did,

661
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:27,960
and boy did he get the shit choke slammed at it.

662
00:37:28,039 --> 00:37:31,119
This was a great choke slam and all credit to

663
00:37:31,199 --> 00:37:34,559
McDonagh on this. But Town's got him up. Is he

664
00:37:34,599 --> 00:37:36,679
seven feet Okay, yeah, I could believe it. He's seven

665
00:37:36,679 --> 00:37:39,360
feet seven to one. All right, let's say he's seven

666
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:43,800
feet seven feet tall. Legit seven feet tall and you

667
00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:47,079
can't teach that. And he picks McDonough up in the

668
00:37:47,119 --> 00:37:51,719
air and fold him up. Gigantic choke slam. Then he

669
00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:55,239
grabs dom. This was a good choke slam, a little

670
00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:58,719
more tame. He choke slams him through the table and

671
00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:02,920
then at that point Dan Housen hit McDonough with his

672
00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:08,199
triple D finish to pick up the win. Look, this

673
00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:09,719
was exactly what I expected.

674
00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:10,079
Speaker 2: It to be.

675
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:12,800
Speaker 1: It was the crowd pleasing match of the night. Dan

676
00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:14,960
Housen was, you know. He came out there, got a

677
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:17,920
heroes welcome. They had one of the New York Knicks

678
00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:20,360
players come out of the cloning machine to the big ovation.

679
00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:23,400
He was the only one really who got physical on

680
00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:28,320
the show because he's not among the walking wounded. But

681
00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:30,880
what they had him do was very safe. Again, all

682
00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:32,960
he had to do was just grab these guys by

683
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:35,639
the throat and just go like this and they'll do

684
00:38:35,679 --> 00:38:40,760
the rest. And everyone popped for it, and Dan Housen

685
00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:42,840
picks up the wind. You either are a fan of

686
00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:45,639
Dan Housen and his stick or you're not. There's really

687
00:38:45,679 --> 00:38:48,400
no in between. And if you're a Knicks fan, then

688
00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:53,440
you probably enjoyed the cat cameo. But there's really not

689
00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:56,320
much else to say about it. It would have been ridiculous

690
00:38:56,360 --> 00:38:58,559
to leave Dan Housen off this show, right. I said

691
00:38:58,559 --> 00:39:00,599
this weeks and weeks ago. I said to build this

692
00:39:00,639 --> 00:39:04,119
show around him, and they did. They built the advertising

693
00:39:04,119 --> 00:39:06,840
around him until they announced the tag team match, which

694
00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:10,239
was only last week. All the posters and everything had

695
00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:12,239
Dan Housen in it. We didn't even know anything else

696
00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:14,719
about this show. They had him in New York doing

697
00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:16,679
all kinds of media leading up to it. They had

698
00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:20,360
a parade earlier today. If you watch it on Peacock,

699
00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:22,559
they streamed the whole thing. It was him and Our

700
00:39:22,639 --> 00:39:26,519
Truth were on this little makeshift Dan Housen parade float

701
00:39:26,679 --> 00:39:30,199
that was moving very very very very slowly down the

702
00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:34,320
street in Midtown, Manhattan on its way to Madison Square Garden.

703
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:37,199
And it was pouring today. By the way, the weather

704
00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:40,079
was just straight ass here in New York. I mean

705
00:39:40,119 --> 00:39:43,960
when I say it was rainy, it was fucking downpour today.

706
00:39:44,199 --> 00:39:46,719
It was I mean at one o'clock in the afternoon,

707
00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:48,719
it was so dark it looked like it was eight

708
00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:51,760
o'clock at night. So Dan Housen's on the float with

709
00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:54,800
Our Truth. They're holding up their umbrellas, and I mean

710
00:39:54,840 --> 00:39:57,519
they it was literally just them standing there and just

711
00:39:58,280 --> 00:40:00,320
saying a lot of stupid shit. They just put a

712
00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:02,719
camera in front of him, and there really wasn't much

713
00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:06,199
to it, but everything was built around Dan Housen's so

714
00:40:07,039 --> 00:40:08,960
you had to have him on the show. It made

715
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:10,760
sense for him to be on this show. If ever

716
00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:13,280
there was a show that he should be on, right

717
00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:18,599
this was the one, So this was fine. I might

718
00:40:18,679 --> 00:40:22,239
not have not that I hated it, but like obviously

719
00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:23,960
this was like, all right, can we just get this

720
00:40:24,039 --> 00:40:24,400
over with?

721
00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:24,599
Speaker 2: That?

722
00:40:24,599 --> 00:40:27,559
Speaker 1: That was my attitude about it. Let's just do it,

723
00:40:27,639 --> 00:40:29,400
get it over with, and let's kind of move on

724
00:40:29,440 --> 00:40:32,599
to the next thing. These things would be a lot

725
00:40:32,679 --> 00:40:36,039
more tolerable if you had cards that had more than

726
00:40:36,079 --> 00:40:40,480
four matches, you know, when you have these short cards

727
00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:42,880
and I know they added the fifth on the pre show,

728
00:40:43,719 --> 00:40:48,320
but not counting that. When you have these small cards

729
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:52,239
and you don't have a lot of matches announced and

730
00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:56,320
one of them is this comedy stuff, you feel it

731
00:40:56,360 --> 00:40:59,559
a lot more. If they had six matches on this

732
00:40:59,639 --> 00:41:02,960
card and one of them was the comic relief match

733
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:05,159
of the night, and you did all the Dan Housen stuff.

734
00:41:05,920 --> 00:41:06,880
Speaker 2: I think that some.

735
00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:10,159
Speaker 1: Of the people who maybe didn't like this shit might

736
00:41:10,199 --> 00:41:12,239
have been able to tolerate it more because at least

737
00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:15,000
there's other really good stuff that you can kind of

738
00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:18,280
pick and choose from on the show. They don't give

739
00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:20,800
you a whole lot of variety sometimes on these shows,

740
00:41:21,599 --> 00:41:23,480
and so for some people, I think that's part of

741
00:41:23,480 --> 00:41:26,280
the problem. You know, it's like you have this, and

742
00:41:26,320 --> 00:41:28,159
then after this it's like, well we have this and

743
00:41:28,199 --> 00:41:33,159
this and that's it. But this was what I expected

744
00:41:33,159 --> 00:41:35,960
it to be, nothing more, nothing less. We go to

745
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:40,880
the back and she's back, Kathy Kelly is back, and

746
00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:47,360
Kathy interviews a very disheveled Lyra Valkyrie. Lyra says, you

747
00:41:47,400 --> 00:41:50,360
know what's funny, the last time that she was in

748
00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:56,320
this building, she was competing for the women's tag team?

749
00:41:56,599 --> 00:41:57,320
Speaker 2: Was she in the match?

750
00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:00,920
Speaker 1: Were Oscar and Kyrie and the match I feel like

751
00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:03,000
it was a multi team match for the women's tag

752
00:42:03,039 --> 00:42:07,199
belts and they may have been in that match. If so,

753
00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:12,440
that's incredible timing on that super chat. But she says,

754
00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:14,800
the last time that she was in this building, she

755
00:42:14,880 --> 00:42:17,039
was competing for the women's tag team titles. Now she

756
00:42:17,079 --> 00:42:18,880
doesn't even know she can be the person that she

757
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:21,840
used to be. She said that she will get Bailey

758
00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:25,480
out of her head once and for all tonight, and

759
00:42:25,519 --> 00:42:30,800
then after this we had Commercial Palooza. Bailey was approached

760
00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:34,719
by Jackie Redman in the back. After Commercial Palooza was over,

761
00:42:35,519 --> 00:42:37,559
Bailey said that apparently she's the only one in the

762
00:42:37,559 --> 00:42:40,719
locker room who's thinking straight, and she tried to give

763
00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:44,320
Lyra her space. That didn't work, so tonight she's going

764
00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:46,920
to end her before she even gets started. And that

765
00:42:47,039 --> 00:42:51,000
led into Bailey one on one with Lyra Valkyria. Lyra

766
00:42:51,159 --> 00:42:54,679
has new entrance music, which is really just her old

767
00:42:54,800 --> 00:42:56,119
music slowed down.

768
00:42:56,880 --> 00:42:58,400
Speaker 2: I dig it.

769
00:42:58,400 --> 00:43:01,840
Speaker 1: It's got a very dark vibe to it. It works,

770
00:43:01,840 --> 00:43:04,880
but this character, this heeled character that she's portraying, it works.

771
00:43:05,119 --> 00:43:08,480
And it also takes the whole element out of the

772
00:43:08,559 --> 00:43:10,679
song where the fans go, WHOA.

773
00:43:11,800 --> 00:43:12,440
Speaker 2: No more of that.

774
00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:17,079
Speaker 1: You can't do that anymore. It doesn't work. The song

775
00:43:17,159 --> 00:43:21,239
is too slow, no more wooing bird girl when she

776
00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:28,360
comes out. So Lyra went right after Bailey, right at

777
00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:32,559
the bell, and so Bailey is trying to fight her off,

778
00:43:32,599 --> 00:43:35,800
and they end up outside the ring. They're over by

779
00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:39,360
the apron and Bailey throws a shot like a right

780
00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:44,480
hand at her, and now Lyra is kind of kind

781
00:43:44,519 --> 00:43:47,119
of covering up, and I mean it didn't look like

782
00:43:47,159 --> 00:43:50,840
anything out of the ordinary at first. Lyra's crouched down

783
00:43:50,880 --> 00:43:53,079
now like in a ball, on her knees on the

784
00:43:53,119 --> 00:43:56,920
floor outside. When Bailey picks her up to move her,

785
00:43:57,400 --> 00:44:01,280
I notice, oh shit, there's a ton of blood. On

786
00:44:01,320 --> 00:44:04,280
the floor outside, and there's no way that this woman

787
00:44:04,360 --> 00:44:08,280
bladed herself. So I'm like, she got hit in the

788
00:44:08,320 --> 00:44:11,000
nose of the mouth. Something happened here. She got hit

789
00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:13,880
in the nose. They showed the slow motion replay of it.

790
00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:16,960
She got hit in the nose with an elbow, So

791
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:19,119
Bailey didn't even hit her like with a right hand shot.

792
00:44:19,199 --> 00:44:22,119
She caught her with either like this part of the

793
00:44:22,199 --> 00:44:24,480
forearm here, or I think it was the elbow, so

794
00:44:24,519 --> 00:44:27,239
I think of when Brock opened up Sina all those

795
00:44:27,320 --> 00:44:30,599
years ago, or Randy Orton with the elbow. She went off,

796
00:44:30,639 --> 00:44:35,239
fucking brock lesnar on Lira's face here guarantee if she

797
00:44:35,280 --> 00:44:39,920
broke her nose. There were puddles of blood in different

798
00:44:40,039 --> 00:44:42,760
spots on the floor outside. I was actually kind of shocked.

799
00:44:42,760 --> 00:44:46,239
They didn't wipe that up as quickly as I thought

800
00:44:46,280 --> 00:44:49,119
they would. They left it there for a while, so

801
00:44:49,199 --> 00:44:51,519
you see like a little blood here, blood here, blood there,

802
00:44:51,559 --> 00:44:53,639
blood there, and the doctor is right there. I'm like, boy,

803
00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:56,920
I'm surprised he hasn't already like sopped that shit up

804
00:44:56,920 --> 00:44:57,800
because it's dangerous.

805
00:44:57,840 --> 00:44:57,960
Speaker 2: You know.

806
00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:01,880
Speaker 1: They kept going back outside, and I'm like, at one point,

807
00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:04,639
Bailey was teasing doing some kind of dive or something

808
00:45:05,199 --> 00:45:07,920
out to the floor like in that area, and I'm like,

809
00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:10,679
she's liable to slip. You know, there's enough blood on

810
00:45:10,719 --> 00:45:12,159
the floor out there where it might make it a

811
00:45:12,199 --> 00:45:15,719
little slick. So she got She got hit pretty bad here,

812
00:45:16,840 --> 00:45:19,639
and I thought they might stop the match. I mean,

813
00:45:19,639 --> 00:45:23,119
this the way WWE operates these days, and they did

814
00:45:23,119 --> 00:45:25,320
at one point, like the referee held Bailey back a

815
00:45:25,360 --> 00:45:27,679
little bit, and they kept Lyra off camera because they

816
00:45:27,679 --> 00:45:29,880
were wiping the nose to try to get rid of

817
00:45:29,880 --> 00:45:32,280
the blood, and they did for a little bit. Eventually

818
00:45:32,320 --> 00:45:35,519
it came back. Thankfully, they didn't stop the match. I mean,

819
00:45:35,559 --> 00:45:38,320
come on, give me, give me a fucking break. These

820
00:45:38,360 --> 00:45:41,679
women are tougher than that. So the match continued on

821
00:45:42,719 --> 00:45:48,719
and referee at one point uh was holding Bailey back

822
00:45:48,760 --> 00:45:51,119
as Lyra was being checked on. Bailey, though, she went

823
00:45:51,159 --> 00:45:55,079
and did this low dive out onto her on the floor,

824
00:45:55,599 --> 00:45:58,599
rolled her back into the ring. Bailey put Lyra in

825
00:45:58,639 --> 00:46:01,280
a Boston crab right in the center of the ring.

826
00:46:01,480 --> 00:46:05,280
She wasn't even close to the ropes. Lyra slipped out.

827
00:46:05,440 --> 00:46:09,000
She sent Bailey to the corner and Bailey ended up

828
00:46:09,039 --> 00:46:14,599
on top. Lyra she got there first delivered a neck

829
00:46:14,639 --> 00:46:17,679
breaker onto the top turn buckle, and then she hit

830
00:46:17,719 --> 00:46:20,360
this great looking guillotine because she had Bailey kind of

831
00:46:20,559 --> 00:46:24,159
hanging over the ropes, and she hit this guillotine leg

832
00:46:24,239 --> 00:46:25,320
drop she got.

833
00:46:25,360 --> 00:46:26,519
Speaker 2: I mean, they showed a replay of it.

834
00:46:26,599 --> 00:46:30,239
Speaker 1: She got great height on this and just came right

835
00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:34,079
down on the back of Bailey's neck. Bailey, though, was

836
00:46:34,119 --> 00:46:36,559
able to make a comeback when she caught Lyra's leg

837
00:46:36,679 --> 00:46:39,119
off a spin kick attempt and she sent her into

838
00:46:39,119 --> 00:46:41,760
the corner, and so she ends up putting her in

839
00:46:41,800 --> 00:46:44,039
a cross face, which I'm sure didn't feel too good

840
00:46:44,039 --> 00:46:46,880
if she did have a broken nose, or even if

841
00:46:46,880 --> 00:46:47,559
it wasn't broken.

842
00:46:47,599 --> 00:46:51,079
Speaker 2: I mean, clearly she had.

843
00:46:49,199 --> 00:46:53,480
Speaker 1: A nose injury, and Bailey just has her in a

844
00:46:53,480 --> 00:46:56,440
cross face and it's like her fucking hands are right

845
00:46:56,480 --> 00:46:59,239
across the bridge of the nose and she's wrenching back

846
00:46:59,280 --> 00:47:04,039
on her here. But anyway, the hole got broken. Lyra

847
00:47:04,199 --> 00:47:07,239
was able to use a sling blade to take down

848
00:47:07,320 --> 00:47:12,440
Bailey locked in a sleeper hole. Then she bridged up. Basically,

849
00:47:12,519 --> 00:47:16,239
she had the John Moxley bulldog choke applied, and she

850
00:47:16,360 --> 00:47:19,079
bridged up to apply even more pressure to the choke.

851
00:47:19,800 --> 00:47:22,039
Bailey looked like she was at least on her way

852
00:47:22,079 --> 00:47:23,960
to going out, and the referee call for.

853
00:47:23,920 --> 00:47:25,880
Speaker 2: The stoppage and that was it.

854
00:47:27,159 --> 00:47:30,920
Speaker 1: When the match was over, Lyra she was outside with Bailey.

855
00:47:31,000 --> 00:47:33,360
She sent her head first into the ring post. The

856
00:47:34,079 --> 00:47:38,880
led casing around the ring post reapplied the choke. Referee

857
00:47:38,920 --> 00:47:41,760
was able to get her off Bailey. Lyra goes over

858
00:47:41,800 --> 00:47:47,000
to the steel steps and she removes the top half

859
00:47:47,039 --> 00:47:50,199
of the steps and then she set Bailey up for

860
00:47:50,280 --> 00:47:54,320
a night wing onto the flat bottom part and that's

861
00:47:54,360 --> 00:47:58,360
how she left her. Bailey was just sprawled out across

862
00:47:58,400 --> 00:48:02,159
the steps and the camera followed Lyra down the aisle.

863
00:48:02,320 --> 00:48:04,719
I do like when they have these Saturday nights made

864
00:48:04,760 --> 00:48:07,320
e Bench shows, the aisleway is a lot more narrow,

865
00:48:08,320 --> 00:48:11,519
so the fans can kind of reach out and they're

866
00:48:11,599 --> 00:48:14,199
just they're closer to the talent, which is kind of

867
00:48:14,199 --> 00:48:17,199
how it used to be, but just bringing the fans

868
00:48:17,199 --> 00:48:19,320
in a little bit more like that visually, I just

869
00:48:19,320 --> 00:48:21,440
think it makes it just makes for a better visual

870
00:48:22,039 --> 00:48:24,679
instead of putting so much separation as they sometimes do

871
00:48:24,800 --> 00:48:27,400
between the talent and the fans when they're all right

872
00:48:27,440 --> 00:48:29,920
there and they're coming out and they just want to like,

873
00:48:30,280 --> 00:48:32,639
you know, touch their arm or something like that. You know,

874
00:48:33,119 --> 00:48:34,039
that's how it used to be.

875
00:48:34,719 --> 00:48:34,960
Speaker 2: You know.

876
00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:37,239
Speaker 1: It just felt more like the fans are more crowded

877
00:48:37,280 --> 00:48:40,719
around them. Lyra's talking shit to the fans as she's

878
00:48:40,760 --> 00:48:44,679
going to the back. This was good stuff. This was

879
00:48:44,719 --> 00:48:48,800
good stuff. Obviously the blood was not intentional. I do

880
00:48:48,840 --> 00:48:50,800
think it added to the match because you have these

881
00:48:50,840 --> 00:48:53,400
two women who have a grudge issue.

882
00:48:53,599 --> 00:48:56,039
Speaker 2: You know, these two women.

883
00:48:55,800 --> 00:49:00,320
Speaker 1: Were friends turned enemies, and Lyra was talking about, you know,

884
00:49:00,360 --> 00:49:02,159
what she's going to do to Bailey on this show.

885
00:49:02,280 --> 00:49:04,519
She was right on top of her right from the

886
00:49:04,519 --> 00:49:07,119
start of the match, and so I would say a

887
00:49:07,119 --> 00:49:09,320
little blood goes a long way, but there was more

888
00:49:09,440 --> 00:49:12,800
than more than a little blood coming out of that nose.

889
00:49:13,199 --> 00:49:15,199
There were a few rough moments in this match. I

890
00:49:15,280 --> 00:49:17,480
just chalk that up to Lyra trying to get her bearings,

891
00:49:18,079 --> 00:49:20,039
you know, with the injury. It was like right after

892
00:49:20,079 --> 00:49:24,079
it happened, there was just some back and forth with

893
00:49:24,119 --> 00:49:26,559
them that was a little off. So I just kind

894
00:49:26,559 --> 00:49:29,559
of chalk it up to that. But this whole issue

895
00:49:29,559 --> 00:49:34,000
of like, oh is this Bailey's sendoff? Did we just

896
00:49:34,360 --> 00:49:38,039
witness Bailey's last match in WWE.

897
00:49:38,199 --> 00:49:38,920
Speaker 2: I don't know what.

898
00:49:38,840 --> 00:49:41,840
Speaker 1: Her contract status is. I know all of the talk

899
00:49:41,880 --> 00:49:45,239
has been that her contract is up this year. My

900
00:49:45,280 --> 00:49:48,400
impression was that it was later in the year, but

901
00:49:48,519 --> 00:49:51,199
I don't think it's ever really been reported exactly when her.

902
00:49:51,079 --> 00:49:52,719
Speaker 2: Deal is up. Now.

903
00:49:52,760 --> 00:49:54,400
Speaker 1: When I did the sound off at the beginning of

904
00:49:54,440 --> 00:49:57,239
the year, and I do my annual prediction show every year,

905
00:49:58,280 --> 00:50:02,039
in my predictions, said that if there's anybody who's going

906
00:50:02,119 --> 00:50:06,519
to go from WWE to AEW and not the other

907
00:50:06,519 --> 00:50:11,159
way around, I think Bailey leaves before the end of

908
00:50:11,159 --> 00:50:14,039
the year. She leaves WWE at the end of her

909
00:50:14,039 --> 00:50:16,400
deal and she goes to AEW. And I still feel

910
00:50:16,440 --> 00:50:19,480
that way. I just don't know when her contract is up.

911
00:50:20,079 --> 00:50:21,719
I don't think this is the last time that we're

912
00:50:21,719 --> 00:50:24,280
going to see Bailey in a WWE ring. I'm not

913
00:50:24,400 --> 00:50:27,559
writing her off as if that's the end of Bailey. No,

914
00:50:27,920 --> 00:50:31,000
this was an angle that absolutely felt like they were

915
00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:34,119
writing her off television. But I would still expect her

916
00:50:34,159 --> 00:50:36,960
to come back. And this was only the first match, right,

917
00:50:37,039 --> 00:50:39,079
So my guess is we get at least one more,

918
00:50:39,840 --> 00:50:42,000
if not a three match series.

919
00:50:42,039 --> 00:50:42,639
Speaker 2: Between them.

920
00:50:43,159 --> 00:50:44,880
Speaker 1: Maybe at the end of it, that's their way of

921
00:50:44,880 --> 00:50:46,679
writing her off if she is going to leave. But

922
00:50:46,719 --> 00:50:49,440
there's been nothing reported about what her current status is,

923
00:50:49,559 --> 00:50:52,039
or that her contract is up and you know, imminently,

924
00:50:52,119 --> 00:50:55,280
or anything like that. I wouldn't read too much into this.

925
00:50:55,280 --> 00:50:58,039
This was an angle that I think writes her off television,

926
00:50:58,079 --> 00:51:01,159
maybe for a couple of weeks, and then she'll probably

927
00:51:01,199 --> 00:51:04,440
be back and we'll get another match between them. I

928
00:51:04,440 --> 00:51:06,920
don't know that we need one. I mean, Lyra beat

929
00:51:06,920 --> 00:51:10,079
her pretty decisively here. She didn't cheat, you know, there

930
00:51:10,079 --> 00:51:12,000
was no ref bump, she didn't put her feet on

931
00:51:12,039 --> 00:51:15,000
the ropes, there was no Tatum Pasley. I thought maybe

932
00:51:15,039 --> 00:51:17,599
they were going to debut somebody new from NXT, you know,

933
00:51:17,639 --> 00:51:19,079
to kind of pair them up with Lyra.

934
00:51:19,840 --> 00:51:20,039
Speaker 2: No.

935
00:51:20,199 --> 00:51:22,159
Speaker 1: I mean they had a straight wrestling match. This woman

936
00:51:22,320 --> 00:51:25,000
was leaking like a sieve, and she got the win.

937
00:51:25,360 --> 00:51:27,280
She has a new finishing move and she got the win.

938
00:51:28,079 --> 00:51:31,159
And so to that end, I liked it. I was

939
00:51:31,280 --> 00:51:35,199
very skeptical about Lyra as a heel. If you remember

940
00:51:35,239 --> 00:51:37,719
when she first turned on Bailey all those weeks ago.

941
00:51:37,800 --> 00:51:39,400
I said that, I said, I don't know if she's

942
00:51:39,440 --> 00:51:42,119
got a heel run in her. I've never seen Lyra

943
00:51:42,280 --> 00:51:45,840
Valkyria as a heel. What kind of heel would she be?

944
00:51:46,480 --> 00:51:46,960
Speaker 2: I don't know.

945
00:51:48,800 --> 00:51:51,039
Speaker 1: Now we're starting to see what kind of heel they

946
00:51:51,039 --> 00:51:56,159
want her to be, and I like how vicious she

947
00:51:56,440 --> 00:51:59,400
was here on this show, and I think that if

948
00:51:59,440 --> 00:52:02,840
she's really committed to this role, this could work. This

949
00:52:02,920 --> 00:52:05,960
could work for her. I mean, she's already more interesting

950
00:52:06,039 --> 00:52:08,920
now just doing this stuff than she was six months ago,

951
00:52:10,320 --> 00:52:12,559
so she may well have a good heel run in her.

952
00:52:12,760 --> 00:52:15,320
It's not just up to her, though, you know. WWE

953
00:52:15,360 --> 00:52:18,159
has to be able to program her with the right

954
00:52:18,199 --> 00:52:22,599
people and really commit to it. I don't trust them.

955
00:52:24,199 --> 00:52:26,360
I trust that she'll put her all into it, and

956
00:52:26,400 --> 00:52:30,559
she clearly there's something there. But can WWE follow through

957
00:52:32,000 --> 00:52:35,360
as always that is the question. But yeah, I wouldn't

958
00:52:35,360 --> 00:52:38,239
read too much yet into the Bailey stuff, although I

959
00:52:38,280 --> 00:52:41,320
do expect her to leave. I think within the next

960
00:52:41,960 --> 00:52:45,039
I think within the next year we're gonna get Mercedes

961
00:52:45,079 --> 00:52:49,920
and Bailey back in the ring together totally. We have

962
00:52:49,960 --> 00:52:52,840
not seen the last match between them, either as tag

963
00:52:52,880 --> 00:52:56,280
team partners or opponents, and the next time we see

964
00:52:56,280 --> 00:53:01,400
it it will not be in WWE backstage, Kathy Kelly

965
00:53:01,400 --> 00:53:05,320
interviewed the WWE champion CM Punk and Cody road side

966
00:53:05,360 --> 00:53:07,920
by side if the gorilla position as they were preparing

967
00:53:07,960 --> 00:53:10,960
to go out for their tag team match. Cody said

968
00:53:10,960 --> 00:53:13,159
that he was surprised that she didn't ask the age

969
00:53:13,199 --> 00:53:20,880
old question of whether he and punk Ken coexist. Motherfucker.

970
00:53:22,000 --> 00:53:24,880
I had that shit in the thumbnail before he even

971
00:53:25,000 --> 00:53:27,159
uttered the words, before this show even came on the

972
00:53:27,199 --> 00:53:30,480
air tonight. What you see in the thumbnail was there

973
00:53:30,559 --> 00:53:34,199
from from fucking early this morning. That's all this was.

974
00:53:34,280 --> 00:53:37,000
Can they co exist? This whole thing was built on

975
00:53:37,159 --> 00:53:40,119
the trope of can they co exist? So Cody was

976
00:53:40,159 --> 00:53:43,880
poking some fun at it here. Cody said, of course

977
00:53:43,920 --> 00:53:46,400
they could, and he added that he didn't want Punk

978
00:53:46,400 --> 00:53:49,039
to have any excuses when he beats him at SummerSlam,

979
00:53:49,440 --> 00:53:53,000
and Punk smiled and delivered a very similar statement about

980
00:53:53,079 --> 00:53:56,440
not wanting Cody to have any excuses. And then they

981
00:53:56,440 --> 00:53:58,800
bickered about who should go out first, and they played

982
00:53:58,800 --> 00:54:03,719
Cody's music and so off he went first, and then

983
00:54:03,760 --> 00:54:07,039
we got the main event, which actually ended up not

984
00:54:07,079 --> 00:54:08,920
being the main event of this show, but it was

985
00:54:09,039 --> 00:54:11,320
my main event. It was the real main event of

986
00:54:11,360 --> 00:54:14,519
this show. It was an actual fucking wrestling match. It

987
00:54:14,639 --> 00:54:18,519
was CM Punk and Cody Rhoades as tag team partners

988
00:54:18,559 --> 00:54:24,039
taking Gunther and Sammy z Ain with the stipulation that

989
00:54:24,119 --> 00:54:27,559
if Gunther and sammy's Ain could win this match, they

990
00:54:27,599 --> 00:54:31,039
would be added to the WWE Championship match at SummerSlam

991
00:54:31,079 --> 00:54:34,679
to make it a fatal four way. No chance of

992
00:54:34,679 --> 00:54:38,000
that happening because of the nick all this stuff. Clearly

993
00:54:38,360 --> 00:54:41,119
we knew that match was going to come at SummerSlam,

994
00:54:41,760 --> 00:54:44,639
and so for me, for me personally, there wasn't any

995
00:54:44,679 --> 00:54:46,679
real drama about how this match was going to go.

996
00:54:46,760 --> 00:54:49,800
I still like that they added the stipulation. I especially

997
00:54:49,880 --> 00:54:52,239
like it because, just based on some of the stuff

998
00:54:52,280 --> 00:54:54,960
I saw on social media, apparently there were a lot

999
00:54:55,000 --> 00:54:56,599
of people who did not pick up on the fact

1000
00:54:56,639 --> 00:54:58,320
that they were going to be doing GUNTHERER and nick All.

1001
00:54:58,360 --> 00:55:00,599
This is SummerSlam, and they legitimately the thought that we

1002
00:55:00,679 --> 00:55:03,599
might get a fatal four way. So for a good

1003
00:55:03,679 --> 00:55:05,960
chunk of the audience, I guess it probably worked.

1004
00:55:06,480 --> 00:55:07,199
Speaker 2: But I liked that.

1005
00:55:07,199 --> 00:55:10,280
Speaker 1: They added something tangible to this match instead of it

1006
00:55:10,360 --> 00:55:12,239
just being a tag team match. Now there was something

1007
00:55:12,320 --> 00:55:14,880
on the line, and there was at least a segment

1008
00:55:14,920 --> 00:55:17,400
of the audience who really did believe that they were

1009
00:55:17,400 --> 00:55:20,440
going to get a fatal four way because all four

1010
00:55:20,480 --> 00:55:22,599
of these men have been linked together in some way,

1011
00:55:23,480 --> 00:55:25,960
and logically people are probably looking at it going, well,

1012
00:55:25,960 --> 00:55:28,199
what else would they do? What else would Sammy Zain

1013
00:55:28,360 --> 00:55:30,280
be doing at SummerSlam right if they didn't do a

1014
00:55:30,280 --> 00:55:35,719
fatal four way match, which is a fair point. So

1015
00:55:35,840 --> 00:55:37,920
as soon as Sammy got to the ring, he was

1016
00:55:37,920 --> 00:55:41,280
the last one out, he and Punk just started going

1017
00:55:41,320 --> 00:55:43,679
at it, and then Gunther and Cody started going at it,

1018
00:55:43,719 --> 00:55:46,199
so a hot start right off the bat. There were

1019
00:55:46,199 --> 00:55:52,639
no collar and elbow tie ups, no theatrics, nothing, just fighting,

1020
00:55:52,800 --> 00:55:54,599
just picking up where they left off at the end

1021
00:55:54,599 --> 00:56:00,239
of SmackDown the night before. So Sammy distracted the referee

1022
00:56:00,960 --> 00:56:04,519
while Gunther took Punk out to the floor dropped him

1023
00:56:04,519 --> 00:56:08,280
onto the barricade. Cody went outside to go help Punk.

1024
00:56:08,280 --> 00:56:11,320
He actually picked Punk up and threw him back in

1025
00:56:11,360 --> 00:56:13,199
the ring because he wanted to make sure that his

1026
00:56:13,239 --> 00:56:16,559
team did lose. So I don't know if Punk was

1027
00:56:16,800 --> 00:56:21,360
fully recovered yet. Cody didn't seem to care though he

1028
00:56:21,360 --> 00:56:23,519
didn't want Punk to get counted out, so he threw

1029
00:56:23,599 --> 00:56:28,239
him back in the ring, and Sammy just starts beating

1030
00:56:28,280 --> 00:56:30,719
on Punk and he's screaming at him. You stole it

1031
00:56:30,760 --> 00:56:35,480
from me, You stole it from me. So Punk was bleeding.

1032
00:56:35,159 --> 00:56:35,760
Speaker 2: From the mouth.

1033
00:56:36,000 --> 00:56:40,039
Speaker 1: More blood on this show. I don't know if he

1034
00:56:40,239 --> 00:56:42,079
bit his lip or his tongue. I don't know what

1035
00:56:42,119 --> 00:56:44,000
he did, but there was blood coming from his mouth.

1036
00:56:44,360 --> 00:56:47,679
Maybe he had internal bleeding. He crawled over to tag

1037
00:56:47,719 --> 00:56:50,199
Cody just as Sammy tag Gunther into the ring and

1038
00:56:50,239 --> 00:56:54,360
Cody laid out gun Through with a disaster kick. Sammy

1039
00:56:54,400 --> 00:56:56,639
tried to get involved here. Rhodes, though, put him down

1040
00:56:56,639 --> 00:56:59,280
with a Cody cutter and sent him right back outside.

1041
00:57:00,159 --> 00:57:02,239
You then hit a Cody cutterund Gunther from the top

1042
00:57:03,440 --> 00:57:05,960
only got a two count out of it. He went

1043
00:57:06,000 --> 00:57:08,599
for a crossroads Gunher was able to avoid it that

1044
00:57:08,719 --> 00:57:11,320
We tagged Sammy and who tried for a blue thunderbomb.

1045
00:57:12,559 --> 00:57:16,400
Cody kicked out, so Sammy went for a halluva kick.

1046
00:57:16,679 --> 00:57:19,519
He did not connect with it. Cody instead tagged in

1047
00:57:19,599 --> 00:57:22,440
CM Punk, who came off the top with.

1048
00:57:22,320 --> 00:57:25,519
Speaker 2: The forearm and a bulldog.

1049
00:57:26,480 --> 00:57:29,920
Speaker 1: Punk dropped the flying elbow from the top rope and

1050
00:57:29,960 --> 00:57:32,840
then locked down the Anacon device. Gunther tried to break

1051
00:57:32,880 --> 00:57:34,800
the whole. Cody, though, cut him off put him in

1052
00:57:34,840 --> 00:57:37,199
a figure four leg locks, so now we had dueling

1053
00:57:37,320 --> 00:57:40,360
stereo submissions here in this match. Guntherer, though, was able

1054
00:57:40,400 --> 00:57:43,199
to roll over in the figure four just enough to

1055
00:57:43,360 --> 00:57:47,760
reach over and gouge Punk's eyes to break that hold,

1056
00:57:47,800 --> 00:57:51,400
and then Guntherer yelled at Sammy Sammy so Sammy could

1057
00:57:51,400 --> 00:57:54,719
come over and break the figure four. Sammy hit an

1058
00:57:54,719 --> 00:57:58,239
exploder into the corner on Punk and he was gearing

1059
00:57:58,360 --> 00:58:01,360
up for a halluva kick and this time it connected,

1060
00:58:01,400 --> 00:58:04,519
but then Cody hit Sammy with a crossroads. Gunther then

1061
00:58:04,559 --> 00:58:09,480
threw alhad lariat that dropped Cody and he went for Punk. Punk,

1062
00:58:09,519 --> 00:58:12,639
though caught him with a GTS. All four men now

1063
00:58:12,760 --> 00:58:16,440
are down for the reset. Gunther got up first. He

1064
00:58:16,480 --> 00:58:19,440
shoved Punk into Cody, who was on the apron and

1065
00:58:19,559 --> 00:58:24,559
not Cody to the floor. Oh oh, the two of

1066
00:58:24,599 --> 00:58:30,880
them collided. Yeah falcons though, man, that's a good point.

1067
00:58:30,920 --> 00:58:38,159
This match was all gas, no brakes. Usually these WWE shows,

1068
00:58:38,199 --> 00:58:41,760
at least the ones on TV, although I guess PL's

1069
00:58:41,760 --> 00:58:44,519
are really not that much different. Usually the WWE shows

1070
00:58:44,519 --> 00:58:48,719
are all breaks as in commercial breaks. This match, though,

1071
00:58:48,760 --> 00:58:54,800
it was all gas no brakes. So after Gunther shoved

1072
00:58:54,840 --> 00:58:56,880
Punk it to Cody and not Cody off the apron,

1073
00:58:56,960 --> 00:59:00,880
he locked the sleeper hole in on CM. Punk managed

1074
00:59:00,920 --> 00:59:04,119
to stand up. He tried for a GTS. Gunther though,

1075
00:59:04,159 --> 00:59:08,440
got him down in the hold again, but Punk he

1076
00:59:08,480 --> 00:59:12,239
got up close to his corner, close enough anyway that

1077
00:59:12,320 --> 00:59:15,360
Cody was able to tag himself in and he delivered

1078
00:59:15,360 --> 00:59:18,320
a Crossroads to Gunther to drop him. Cody went for

1079
00:59:18,400 --> 00:59:20,840
the pin. Sammy flew in though and broke things up.

1080
00:59:21,679 --> 00:59:24,280
So in all of the chaos that was unfolding here,

1081
00:59:24,400 --> 00:59:27,559
Charles Robinson the referee, he took a bump. We got

1082
00:59:27,639 --> 00:59:30,360
a ref bump, which meant fuckery was coming here in

1083
00:59:30,400 --> 00:59:33,280
this match. Punk hit a GTS on Sammy and then

1084
00:59:33,320 --> 00:59:38,519
he and Cody started taking turns, just throwing haymakers at Gunther.

1085
00:59:39,440 --> 00:59:42,079
It was two on one on Gunther. The baby Faces

1086
00:59:42,079 --> 00:59:45,639
were ganging up on the heel. No referee though, because

1087
00:59:46,519 --> 00:59:50,000
Robinson is still down. So Cody went for a Cody Cutter,

1088
00:59:50,039 --> 00:59:52,960
but Gunther moved and he hit Punk with it by accident.

1089
00:59:54,119 --> 00:59:58,119
That's the second miscommunication here between these two men in

1090
00:59:58,159 --> 01:00:01,440
this match. Gun left the ring. He went to go

1091
01:00:01,440 --> 01:00:05,360
grab the WWE Championship brings it into the ring and

1092
01:00:05,400 --> 01:00:08,079
he blasts Cody in the head with the belt and

1093
01:00:08,119 --> 01:00:12,920
then he power bombed him. No referee, so he's waving

1094
01:00:13,000 --> 01:00:16,639
for another referee to come on down. Here comes another referee.

1095
01:00:16,679 --> 01:00:20,840
He runs down to the ring, he slides in and

1096
01:00:21,239 --> 01:00:25,199
the camera cut to a different angle that showed us

1097
01:00:25,280 --> 01:00:28,480
Nick Aldos was crouched down outside the ring.

1098
01:00:28,639 --> 01:00:29,079
Speaker 2: Oops.

1099
01:00:29,679 --> 01:00:33,440
Speaker 1: I don't think they meant to show that. So we

1100
01:00:33,519 --> 01:00:35,639
already kind of got spoiled as far as what was

1101
01:00:35,679 --> 01:00:38,239
about to happen. But as the referee begins to county

1102
01:00:38,239 --> 01:00:42,280
counts one, he counts two and sure enough, Oh my god,

1103
01:00:42,559 --> 01:00:45,199
I'll act surprise here. Oh my god, look everybody, it's

1104
01:00:45,280 --> 01:00:49,320
Nick all this in his suit. And he pulls the

1105
01:00:49,360 --> 01:00:53,639
referee out of the ring and Gunther is just he's

1106
01:00:53,760 --> 01:00:56,440
beside himself, you know. He gets up to his feet.

1107
01:00:56,480 --> 01:01:02,280
All this has now taken possession of the WWE Championship belt,

1108
01:01:02,559 --> 01:01:07,440
and Gunther kind of that reaches outside, but he kind

1109
01:01:07,440 --> 01:01:09,159
of bends over like he's looking at all, this is

1110
01:01:09,199 --> 01:01:11,079
what are you doing? It all just reaches up and

1111
01:01:11,159 --> 01:01:14,239
just wallops him right upside the head with the belt.

1112
01:01:14,559 --> 01:01:20,159
Gunther staggers backwards and cm Punk puts him down with

1113
01:01:20,239 --> 01:01:22,920
a go to sleep. Punk then pulls Cody, who was

1114
01:01:22,960 --> 01:01:26,840
the legal man, on top of Gunther all descends the

1115
01:01:26,880 --> 01:01:30,760
referee back into the ring to count the one, two three. Sammy,

1116
01:01:30,840 --> 01:01:32,880
he tried to make that last minute safe. He just

1117
01:01:32,920 --> 01:01:37,039
couldn't get there in time, and Cody Rhodes and Cmpunk

1118
01:01:38,119 --> 01:01:42,000
they secure their main event, very likely the night one

1119
01:01:42,119 --> 01:01:46,119
main event at SummerSlam for the WWE Championship. It will

1120
01:01:46,159 --> 01:01:48,679
not be a fatal for it because it was never

1121
01:01:48,800 --> 01:01:53,400
going to be a fatal four way. They just wanted

1122
01:01:53,440 --> 01:01:56,400
you to believe that it might be. But no, it

1123
01:01:56,480 --> 01:02:00,320
is one on one. I really like this match. Never

1124
01:02:00,400 --> 01:02:02,800
let up, It was never boring. There was never a

1125
01:02:02,880 --> 01:02:05,400
dull moment here. It was all action from the very beginning.

1126
01:02:05,679 --> 01:02:08,920
Crowd was into it and again there was at least

1127
01:02:08,960 --> 01:02:11,840
something on the line here, so it created some dramatic

1128
01:02:11,920 --> 01:02:15,920
near falls towards the end. So I really liked the match.

1129
01:02:15,960 --> 01:02:18,719
It was a one match show really needed that one

1130
01:02:18,800 --> 01:02:21,800
match to deliver, and I felt like it did. There

1131
01:02:21,800 --> 01:02:27,079
were some miscommunications between Punk and Cody, but when the

1132
01:02:27,079 --> 01:02:29,039
match was over. I mean, it was nothing that derailed

1133
01:02:29,039 --> 01:02:32,159
the match. They still won. And that was one of

1134
01:02:32,199 --> 01:02:35,480
the things, Like I said this last week, like Cody

1135
01:02:35,519 --> 01:02:37,679
and Punk were going to win this match because I

1136
01:02:37,880 --> 01:02:40,320
just could not imagine them beating either one of them.

1137
01:02:40,760 --> 01:02:42,760
Punk is the champion, they're not going to beat him.

1138
01:02:43,280 --> 01:02:45,880
Cody is the former champion, the number one contender, They're

1139
01:02:45,920 --> 01:02:49,159
not going to beat him. It just seemed pretty obvious

1140
01:02:49,199 --> 01:02:52,360
they were going to win the match regardless. But it

1141
01:02:52,400 --> 01:02:54,199
wasn't like after the match they were at each other's

1142
01:02:54,239 --> 01:02:56,039
throats or anything, Hey why'd you hit me?

1143
01:02:56,159 --> 01:02:59,000
Speaker 2: Or why why'd you bump into me? Like everything was cool?

1144
01:03:00,320 --> 01:03:00,679
Was cool.

1145
01:03:00,880 --> 01:03:03,239
Speaker 1: I was watching Cody, he was acting a little strange.

1146
01:03:03,280 --> 01:03:05,360
I thought something might go down here. He was holding

1147
01:03:05,400 --> 01:03:09,239
the belt and I'm watching him, but hands the belt

1148
01:03:09,320 --> 01:03:12,280
over to Punk. Punk slings the belt over his shoulder,

1149
01:03:12,840 --> 01:03:16,320
and in so doing, the strap smack Cody in the face.

1150
01:03:17,440 --> 01:03:18,960
Punk didn't seem like he knew that.

1151
01:03:19,519 --> 01:03:20,239
Speaker 2: He left the ring.

1152
01:03:20,320 --> 01:03:25,559
Speaker 1: Cody didn't seem very happy. They're building to it. There's

1153
01:03:25,599 --> 01:03:28,000
gonna be an explosion, maybe on Friday next week. There's

1154
01:03:28,000 --> 01:03:30,840
gonna be an explosion between these two. Nick all this

1155
01:03:31,000 --> 01:03:34,480
costing Gunther seemed to be the obvious choice. I said

1156
01:03:34,519 --> 01:03:37,480
last night in the SmackDown review, does he interfere during

1157
01:03:37,519 --> 01:03:40,119
the match or does he make it appearance after the

1158
01:03:40,159 --> 01:03:42,760
match is over? And it did make more sense for

1159
01:03:42,840 --> 01:03:45,679
him to appear during the match and cost Gunther. But

1160
01:03:45,760 --> 01:03:48,679
here's the thing about that. So that's great, he gets

1161
01:03:48,719 --> 01:03:51,039
his revenge on Gunther. I don't know if that's gonna

1162
01:03:51,039 --> 01:03:55,880
cost him his job where he is permanently removed from

1163
01:03:55,880 --> 01:03:58,280
the GM position. I think he does a good job

1164
01:03:58,320 --> 01:04:00,880
as the GM. I think it's still the right role

1165
01:04:01,000 --> 01:04:03,159
for him. I don't see him returning to a full

1166
01:04:03,199 --> 01:04:06,039
time wrestling role, so I don't know if they'll fire

1167
01:04:06,119 --> 01:04:06,800
him in that role.

1168
01:04:06,880 --> 01:04:08,639
Speaker 2: But they're going to set up a.

1169
01:04:08,559 --> 01:04:10,880
Speaker 1: Match between them for Summer Slim right that that much

1170
01:04:10,960 --> 01:04:18,199
is very clear. What about Sammy's Ain. Sammy's ain just

1171
01:04:18,239 --> 01:04:24,320
got royally screwed by his boss who let his emotions

1172
01:04:24,360 --> 01:04:27,079
get the best of him and he interfered in a

1173
01:04:27,119 --> 01:04:30,960
match that he had no business getting involved in. In

1174
01:04:31,079 --> 01:04:34,320
doing that, he also fucked over Sammy's Ain, not just Gunther.

1175
01:04:35,000 --> 01:04:38,159
Sammy's Ain now more than ever, has a very valid

1176
01:04:38,199 --> 01:04:41,960
reason to show up on television and protest and say

1177
01:04:41,960 --> 01:04:44,519
that I need my championship match because this is ridiculous.

1178
01:04:44,559 --> 01:04:48,039
I never got my rematch. Everybody else gets a rematch.

1179
01:04:48,199 --> 01:04:49,960
I never got my rematch, and now I had the

1180
01:04:50,039 --> 01:04:51,719
chance to go to Summer Slim and you took it

1181
01:04:51,760 --> 01:04:53,000
away from me. What are you going to do to

1182
01:04:53,039 --> 01:04:54,800
remedy this? What are you going to do to fix this?

1183
01:04:55,559 --> 01:04:59,440
One thing that they could do is to say, okay,

1184
01:04:59,559 --> 01:05:03,000
fair enough, the match at Summer Slim is not going

1185
01:05:03,039 --> 01:05:06,840
to be a fatal four way because Gunther lost, but

1186
01:05:06,960 --> 01:05:09,679
you didn't lose, and you got the raw end of

1187
01:05:09,679 --> 01:05:11,639
the deal. So to make it up to you, we're

1188
01:05:11,639 --> 01:05:13,440
going to add you and make it a triple threat

1189
01:05:13,599 --> 01:05:17,800
instead of a fatal four way. I don't know that

1190
01:05:17,800 --> 01:05:19,920
that's what they're gonna do. I'm saying it's an option.

1191
01:05:21,559 --> 01:05:24,800
If the choice is Sammy in the match or Sammy

1192
01:05:24,840 --> 01:05:26,800
not even on the Summer Slim card, then I would

1193
01:05:26,800 --> 01:05:29,159
say put him in the match. It just feels to

1194
01:05:29,199 --> 01:05:31,719
me like the match is set, the biggest possible match

1195
01:05:31,760 --> 01:05:33,920
they could do. It's not a triple threat match. It's

1196
01:05:34,159 --> 01:05:37,880
Sammy on the outside looking in on Cody and Punk

1197
01:05:37,920 --> 01:05:41,519
going one on one, and so to change that now

1198
01:05:42,960 --> 01:05:46,639
they've tried to sell more tickets over the past week

1199
01:05:47,360 --> 01:05:50,159
off the weight of that match being announced, to now

1200
01:05:50,199 --> 01:05:53,320
go back and change the match would be kind of lame.

1201
01:05:53,960 --> 01:05:55,760
Some people may not want to see a triple threat.

1202
01:05:55,760 --> 01:05:57,679
They may want to see Cody and Punk one on one.

1203
01:05:57,760 --> 01:06:00,800
That's the match that they've been promoting. But if they

1204
01:06:00,840 --> 01:06:03,400
don't add him, there's no other obvious role for him.

1205
01:06:03,519 --> 01:06:05,480
To make Sammy a referee, you could do it, but

1206
01:06:05,519 --> 01:06:07,840
you've already done that. We've already seen Sammy Zane as

1207
01:06:07,840 --> 01:06:11,719
the referee. What's the point of doing that again. If

1208
01:06:11,719 --> 01:06:13,599
you want him involved in the match, then put him

1209
01:06:13,639 --> 01:06:15,599
in the match. The other thing you can do is

1210
01:06:15,639 --> 01:06:17,960
not put him in the match and say the decision

1211
01:06:18,000 --> 01:06:21,199
is final. We have a singles match. However, you are

1212
01:06:21,280 --> 01:06:23,880
owed a rematch, and so you get the first shot

1213
01:06:24,000 --> 01:06:26,440
coming out of Summer Slam. Whether it's Punk, whether it's Cody,

1214
01:06:26,480 --> 01:06:29,400
whoever it is, you will get them on that first

1215
01:06:29,440 --> 01:06:33,360
SmackDown after Summer Slam for the WWE Championship. As long

1216
01:06:33,400 --> 01:06:37,519
as Sammy gets his match right, that's what he wants.

1217
01:06:37,519 --> 01:06:39,960
He wants his rematch. He'll be very upset If it

1218
01:06:39,960 --> 01:06:43,480
doesn't happen, it's SummerSlam. But I'm just not convinced that

1219
01:06:43,519 --> 01:06:44,880
they're going to add him in there to make it

1220
01:06:44,880 --> 01:06:47,039
a triple threat. But it certainly is an option. If

1221
01:06:47,079 --> 01:06:48,559
you want them to make sense of it, that would

1222
01:06:48,559 --> 01:06:51,679
be the way to make sense of it. He lost tonight,

1223
01:06:51,760 --> 01:06:55,480
not through no fault of his own. The reason he

1224
01:06:55,559 --> 01:07:00,239
lost is because of Nick Aldis. So Nick has to

1225
01:07:00,280 --> 01:07:06,000
find a way to make it right, very simple. Otherwise,

1226
01:07:06,199 --> 01:07:08,719
Sammy's gonna be wrestling Johnny Gargano on top of a

1227
01:07:09,000 --> 01:07:12,880
crate on the pre show at Summerslim this year. They

1228
01:07:12,880 --> 01:07:16,039
may have a planking match. Sammy is going to be

1229
01:07:16,079 --> 01:07:18,599
so depressed after all this. By the way, he may

1230
01:07:18,639 --> 01:07:24,559
start planking. We may have a dueling dueling crates with

1231
01:07:24,639 --> 01:07:26,039
the two of them. That would be the pre show

1232
01:07:26,039 --> 01:07:29,440
attraction at Summer Slim.

1233
01:07:29,480 --> 01:07:29,960
Speaker 2: Amazing.

1234
01:07:32,360 --> 01:07:34,199
Speaker 1: If he gets a rematch and loses, what do you

1235
01:07:34,239 --> 01:07:35,800
do with so well, of course he's gonna lose.

1236
01:07:36,079 --> 01:07:40,079
Speaker 2: Let me, let me, let's just end this right here. Okay.

1237
01:07:40,760 --> 01:07:43,079
Speaker 1: If sammy' zaying gets his rematch, he's not winning the

1238
01:07:43,119 --> 01:07:48,280
belt back. Like it's over, it's done. If he gets

1239
01:07:48,280 --> 01:07:51,719
his rematch, he's gonna lose. When he loses, he's gonna

1240
01:07:51,800 --> 01:07:54,199
he's gonna continue doing the same gimmick he's been doing.

1241
01:07:54,519 --> 01:07:58,920
You know, justice for Sammy, I've been screwed. You know,

1242
01:07:59,000 --> 01:08:01,320
everything you've seen him do on TV. He's just gonna

1243
01:08:01,360 --> 01:08:02,199
continue doing it.

1244
01:08:02,719 --> 01:08:05,119
Speaker 2: Who he'll work with I don't know. I don't know

1245
01:08:05,159 --> 01:08:05,800
the answer to that.

1246
01:08:06,840 --> 01:08:08,480
Speaker 1: But the idea that he's going to win the belt

1247
01:08:08,519 --> 01:08:11,840
back and get a proper rain, I don't see it.

1248
01:08:13,079 --> 01:08:16,000
Speaker 2: I don't see that happening. Now.

1249
01:08:16,000 --> 01:08:18,760
Speaker 1: If you turn the show off at this point, you

1250
01:08:18,840 --> 01:08:21,880
will have already seen the main event. But we weren't

1251
01:08:21,920 --> 01:08:24,880
done yet. They kept going because that's not how the

1252
01:08:24,920 --> 01:08:28,800
show ended. Are you ready? Are you ready for the

1253
01:08:28,880 --> 01:08:32,920
Aura farming? Everybody? I know you're ready for the aura

1254
01:08:33,039 --> 01:08:35,840
for we are in the Aura Farming era of WWE,

1255
01:08:36,399 --> 01:08:39,079
And boy did we get that here in this closing segment.

1256
01:08:39,520 --> 01:08:42,239
This was our main event tonight, Michael Cole and Wade Barrett.

1257
01:08:43,119 --> 01:08:45,239
They pitched it to a what ended up being kind

1258
01:08:45,239 --> 01:08:50,479
of a long video package narrated by former New York

1259
01:08:50,520 --> 01:08:57,319
Giants Super Bowl winning quarterback Eli Manning. And this was

1260
01:08:57,359 --> 01:09:00,000
a video package dedicated to the King of New York

1261
01:09:00,880 --> 01:09:04,159
Jalen Brunson, who will not have to pay for another

1262
01:09:04,239 --> 01:09:06,840
meal for the rest of his life anywhere in New York.

1263
01:09:08,840 --> 01:09:11,960
Brunson was introduced at the end of this They had

1264
01:09:12,000 --> 01:09:15,000
a camera backstage in the locker room. He's standing in

1265
01:09:15,039 --> 01:09:18,279
front of a knick jersey hit I think his jersey

1266
01:09:18,399 --> 01:09:21,680
is hanging there, and the camera just follows him as

1267
01:09:21,680 --> 01:09:24,800
he slowly makes the walk through the locker room out

1268
01:09:24,840 --> 01:09:27,920
into the hallway. It's following him, you know, through the back.

1269
01:09:29,079 --> 01:09:34,079
And he's wearing an OTC eleven shirt, eleven being the

1270
01:09:34,159 --> 01:09:36,880
number that Jalen Brunton wears, so they created a new

1271
01:09:36,880 --> 01:09:40,119
shirt they can sell OTC eleven. And he has his

1272
01:09:40,119 --> 01:09:43,079
own theme music. He got a full fucking entrance here.

1273
01:09:43,359 --> 01:09:45,479
He got more of an entrance on this show than

1274
01:09:45,560 --> 01:09:49,000
Joe Henry has gotten in the seven months or whatever

1275
01:09:49,039 --> 01:09:52,880
it's been that he has been in WWE. So he's

1276
01:09:52,920 --> 01:09:55,680
walking through the back playing this music. He's got the

1277
01:09:55,720 --> 01:09:58,079
cast on his wrist. He just had wrist surgery at

1278
01:09:58,119 --> 01:10:01,279
the end of the season. Can't be too serious. He's

1279
01:10:01,319 --> 01:10:03,159
expected to be back on the court by the end

1280
01:10:03,159 --> 01:10:05,920
of the summer, but he still has the cast. I

1281
01:10:05,960 --> 01:10:08,000
mean he literally just had surgery in the last like

1282
01:10:08,039 --> 01:10:11,760
two weeks, so still had the cast on. And he's

1283
01:10:11,800 --> 01:10:15,399
walking through the back and there are people lining the

1284
01:10:15,520 --> 01:10:19,079
sides as he's walking by a bunch of Rando's who

1285
01:10:19,119 --> 01:10:22,840
were just cheering for him and applauding him. And there's

1286
01:10:22,920 --> 01:10:25,359
Karl Anthony Towns. He can't fucking miss him. He's seven

1287
01:10:25,399 --> 01:10:28,760
feet seven, and so Brunson goes over and greets, you know,

1288
01:10:28,800 --> 01:10:33,199
greets him very warmly. And as he's walking, they're splicing

1289
01:10:33,279 --> 01:10:40,319
in highlights of the Knicks, like various Jalen Brunson plays

1290
01:10:40,319 --> 01:10:43,800
in New York Knicks plays from this past season. I'm

1291
01:10:43,840 --> 01:10:46,319
sure all of this was very exciting to all of

1292
01:10:46,359 --> 01:10:49,239
the non Knicks fans out there, or even better, all

1293
01:10:49,279 --> 01:10:51,600
of the non basketball fans out there. They must have

1294
01:10:51,640 --> 01:10:55,359
been eating this stuff up. So Roman Reigns all of

1295
01:10:55,399 --> 01:10:57,560
a sudden, he popped out from behind the curtain over

1296
01:10:57,640 --> 01:11:01,119
by the gorilla position to greet Jalen Brunson, and then

1297
01:11:01,119 --> 01:11:03,479
they played Romans music out in the arena, and the

1298
01:11:03,520 --> 01:11:06,720
two of them made their way out on stage together

1299
01:11:07,359 --> 01:11:10,680
throwing up the ones in the isleway, and they shot

1300
01:11:10,680 --> 01:11:15,720
off Piro. Michael Cole said this was Brunson's first time

1301
01:11:15,760 --> 01:11:19,399
stepping foot inside Madison Square Garden since the Knicks won

1302
01:11:19,439 --> 01:11:24,199
their championship. Once they got into the ring, even more Pyro.

1303
01:11:24,479 --> 01:11:28,319
They blew the Pyro budget on this show tonight. I

1304
01:11:28,319 --> 01:11:31,800
didn't mention that fatal Influence got Pyro after they won

1305
01:11:31,840 --> 01:11:35,560
the Women's tag team. I'm convinced that every title change,

1306
01:11:35,600 --> 01:11:38,279
no matter how low on the totem pole that title is.

1307
01:11:39,079 --> 01:11:42,840
You could have the speed title change hands and fucking

1308
01:11:42,920 --> 01:11:46,399
Pyro would be shooting out from the top of the arena.

1309
01:11:48,880 --> 01:11:51,720
I'd be like, I'm all about making your championships feel meaningful.

1310
01:11:51,800 --> 01:11:54,800
But they went a little crazy on the Pyro tonight.

1311
01:11:55,279 --> 01:11:57,920
These guys got Pyro in the isle, and they got

1312
01:11:57,920 --> 01:12:01,920
more Pyro when they were in the ring together. And

1313
01:12:02,000 --> 01:12:05,239
Romans said, well, this is something you don't see every day, now,

1314
01:12:05,279 --> 01:12:08,880
do you? And he said it was rare air that

1315
01:12:08,920 --> 01:12:13,560
they were in right now. Oh, that's actually, that's quite true.

1316
01:12:13,600 --> 01:12:16,079
If you've stepped outside of New York City this weekend,

1317
01:12:17,239 --> 01:12:20,800
this is very rare air. Air that's so thick you

1318
01:12:20,840 --> 01:12:22,960
can't even see through it, but you'll choke on it.

1319
01:12:23,399 --> 01:12:28,680
That's how rare the air has been. Thanks Canada. He said,

1320
01:12:28,680 --> 01:12:33,399
this is where greatness acknowledges greatness. Romans said, it's no

1321
01:12:33,479 --> 01:12:36,119
secret the New York City is the home of WWE.

1322
01:12:37,079 --> 01:12:38,920
He told the fans that they make him feel like

1323
01:12:38,960 --> 01:12:42,039
he's home whenever he goes there, and they broke that

1324
01:12:42,159 --> 01:12:48,560
into an OTC chant. Romans said fifty three years was

1325
01:12:48,960 --> 01:12:52,359
way too long, referencing how long it was since the

1326
01:12:52,439 --> 01:12:56,720
Knicks won their last championship. He said Brunson would say

1327
01:12:56,720 --> 01:12:59,800
that it's a team sport, but Roman said, this is

1328
01:12:59,840 --> 01:13:03,399
only one tribal chief and there's only one captain. He said,

1329
01:13:03,439 --> 01:13:07,560
Brunson is the NBA Finals MVP, He's an NBA champion,

1330
01:13:07,600 --> 01:13:10,840
and he's the king of New York. He said, every

1331
01:13:10,920 --> 01:13:14,520
champion in WWE needs a title, and so he made

1332
01:13:14,560 --> 01:13:20,199
some moves. He walked over and there was it would

1333
01:13:20,239 --> 01:13:22,720
be so great if it was Lard at ringside. I

1334
01:13:22,760 --> 01:13:26,000
couldn't tell who it was. I couldn't tell if it

1335
01:13:26,039 --> 01:13:29,119
was Roman's friend Lard who hands him the belt now

1336
01:13:29,159 --> 01:13:31,920
every time he shows up on TV. But whoever it was,

1337
01:13:31,960 --> 01:13:35,399
a ringside hands Roman this replica championship belt that he

1338
01:13:35,439 --> 01:13:38,600
presents to Jalen Brunson. It is a replica version of

1339
01:13:38,680 --> 01:13:41,520
Roman's World Heavyweight Championship, but instead of being on a

1340
01:13:41,520 --> 01:13:44,920
black strap, it is on a blue strap, right, because

1341
01:13:44,960 --> 01:13:49,119
blue and orange those are the Knicks colors. It's got

1342
01:13:49,119 --> 01:13:54,359
a blue strap, It's got an orange like stripe basically

1343
01:13:54,479 --> 01:13:58,479
down like the back the back of the strap. It's

1344
01:13:58,520 --> 01:14:02,359
got the custom side plates. It's actually a gorgeous belt.

1345
01:14:03,479 --> 01:14:07,119
I have to say, I don't I don't know that

1346
01:14:07,199 --> 01:14:09,920
I was expecting the World heavyweight title to work that

1347
01:14:10,000 --> 01:14:12,520
well on a blue strap, but it really does work.

1348
01:14:14,720 --> 01:14:17,760
So Rains gave it to Brunson, and the crowd broke

1349
01:14:17,760 --> 01:14:22,720
out into a chance of you deserve it. Mets and

1350
01:14:22,840 --> 01:14:26,199
Islanders colors too, Yes, those are the blue and orange

1351
01:14:26,199 --> 01:14:28,880
of the Mets colors as well, But the Mets will

1352
01:14:28,920 --> 01:14:32,960
not be winning a championship anytime soon. So this is

1353
01:14:33,000 --> 01:14:36,199
as close to a New York Mets replica champion like

1354
01:14:36,199 --> 01:14:42,159
true championship belt that you're gonna find, because we ain't

1355
01:14:42,159 --> 01:14:46,439
gonna get Juan Soto walking out at you know, Madison

1356
01:14:46,479 --> 01:14:49,119
Square Garden anytime in the near future to accept his

1357
01:14:49,199 --> 01:14:52,319
New York Mets championship belt. Okay, that ain't gonna happen.

1358
01:14:55,479 --> 01:15:00,239
Rain said, that Brunson doesn't just deserve it. He owned

1359
01:15:00,279 --> 01:15:04,520
it or earned it. I say owned it. Well, he

1360
01:15:04,560 --> 01:15:07,760
did own it, but he also earned it. Solo should

1361
01:15:07,760 --> 01:15:09,720
buy that title and hang it on the wall. Are

1362
01:15:09,720 --> 01:15:12,520
they selling it? Of course, stupid question. I'm sure they are.

1363
01:15:12,840 --> 01:15:14,479
Are they selling it and is it less than a

1364
01:15:14,520 --> 01:15:19,439
thousand dollars would be my question? I actually not for nothing.

1365
01:15:19,479 --> 01:15:24,319
I would probably consider it. It's a really good looking belt,

1366
01:15:29,560 --> 01:15:34,199
but I'm sure I can't afford it. That only knows,

1367
01:15:34,840 --> 01:15:38,800
not only knows what they're selling it for. So he

1368
01:15:38,880 --> 01:15:44,640
said it was time New York City acknowledge us, and

1369
01:15:44,680 --> 01:15:49,760
they both held up their respective titles. Seth Rollins music

1370
01:15:50,600 --> 01:15:55,640
interrupted instead, though we know Seth Rollins, we got Tyrese

1371
01:15:55,960 --> 01:16:01,479
Halliburton of the Indiana Pacers. He walked out with a chair.

1372
01:16:03,159 --> 01:16:05,640
Michael Cole said that the Pacers knocked the Knicks out

1373
01:16:05,680 --> 01:16:07,439
of the playoffs a couple of years ago, and so

1374
01:16:07,560 --> 01:16:12,039
New York has not forgotten it. But here Seth Rollins

1375
01:16:12,039 --> 01:16:15,439
does enter. He ambushed Roman in the ring from behind.

1376
01:16:15,520 --> 01:16:20,600
It was all a trap. It was a setup. Halliburton

1377
01:16:20,640 --> 01:16:23,880
stood outside on the floor. He handed the chair to Rollins.

1378
01:16:24,600 --> 01:16:26,880
Brunson is just standing in the corner watching all of

1379
01:16:26,920 --> 01:16:30,800
this with his freaking cast on his wrist. Rollins puts

1380
01:16:30,880 --> 01:16:33,039
Roman's head on the chair. He's setting up for a

1381
01:16:33,079 --> 01:16:37,840
curb stop and Brunson just very casually steps in front

1382
01:16:37,840 --> 01:16:42,960
of Roman to be his shield from Seth Rollins. Rollins

1383
01:16:43,000 --> 01:16:48,479
now is just eyeballing Brunson. He takes his jacket off.

1384
01:16:49,720 --> 01:16:52,079
Rains though, comes flying in out of nowhere with a

1385
01:16:52,119 --> 01:16:56,119
superman punch. Rollins leaves the ring and he's backing up

1386
01:16:56,159 --> 01:16:57,520
the entrance with Halliburton.

1387
01:16:57,760 --> 01:16:58,039
Speaker 2: Again.

1388
01:16:58,079 --> 01:17:02,720
Speaker 1: They look this like if you were to watch, you

1389
01:17:02,760 --> 01:17:05,159
would swear that they were setting up a tag team match.

1390
01:17:05,319 --> 01:17:09,039
And if this was another era of wrestling, this would

1391
01:17:09,079 --> 01:17:12,279
be the headline match at SummerSlam. It would be Roman

1392
01:17:12,359 --> 01:17:16,000
Reigns and Jalen Brunson wrestling Tyrese Haliburton and Seth Rollins.

1393
01:17:16,000 --> 01:17:20,840
But they're actually not setting up a tag team man thankfully.

1394
01:17:21,680 --> 01:17:25,520
But now we have a crew member again, perhaps Lard

1395
01:17:26,720 --> 01:17:33,119
placing the Larry O'Brien Trophy. This is what the Stanley

1396
01:17:33,159 --> 01:17:37,319
Cup is in the NHL, or the Lombardi Trophy is

1397
01:17:37,880 --> 01:17:40,600
at the end of the Super Bowl, or the World

1398
01:17:40,720 --> 01:17:44,800
Series Trophy presented in baseball, right, this is the crown

1399
01:17:44,960 --> 01:17:50,600
jewel of the NBA, the championship trophy. They place it

1400
01:17:50,600 --> 01:17:55,600
in the ring, and so Roman he takes Jalen Brunson's

1401
01:17:55,600 --> 01:18:00,399
blue belt. He straps it around Brunson's waist and hands

1402
01:18:00,439 --> 01:18:03,560
brunts in his belt to hold over his shoulder, and

1403
01:18:04,000 --> 01:18:08,840
Brunson's like, go ahead, it's all yours. Roman reaches down

1404
01:18:08,960 --> 01:18:12,800
and he picks up the championship trophy. As if this

1405
01:18:13,000 --> 01:18:15,960
man hasn't held enough titles, let's give him some more.

1406
01:18:16,039 --> 01:18:19,359
Let's give him one more, why not? And he hoists

1407
01:18:19,439 --> 01:18:22,600
the Larry O'Brien trophy over his head. Now we get

1408
01:18:22,600 --> 01:18:28,239
more pyro, more fucking piro. These two men got three

1409
01:18:28,600 --> 01:18:34,680
different instances of Pyro in the same segment. So they

1410
01:18:34,720 --> 01:18:38,840
shoot off more and they closed. They closed in the

1411
01:18:38,960 --> 01:18:43,840
cheesiest way possible. They didn't just fade out here. The

1412
01:18:43,880 --> 01:18:46,119
best way I could describe that, we got a still

1413
01:18:46,199 --> 01:18:50,720
shot to close the show that they faded out from

1414
01:18:50,920 --> 01:18:53,479
of Roman reigns and Jalen Brunson in the ring holding

1415
01:18:53,560 --> 01:18:57,520
up their championships and the trophies and everything else. It

1416
01:18:57,600 --> 01:19:01,600
almost looked like a postcard. And then that's how they

1417
01:19:01,600 --> 01:19:04,840
went off the air. It was very, very hokey the

1418
01:19:04,880 --> 01:19:09,560
way they close things out here. Look as far as

1419
01:19:09,560 --> 01:19:12,159
this closing segment, it's going to be very polarizing and

1420
01:19:12,199 --> 01:19:13,720
people are going to be like, what the hell was

1421
01:19:13,760 --> 01:19:15,840
this doing on this show? This had no business being

1422
01:19:15,880 --> 01:19:19,000
on this show. This ridiculous. They didn't close with the

1423
01:19:19,039 --> 01:19:25,239
tag team match. This is what WWE is now. WWE

1424
01:19:25,279 --> 01:19:29,239
tells you what is most important to them, and what

1425
01:19:29,319 --> 01:19:32,399
is most important to them is when you're able to

1426
01:19:32,560 --> 01:19:36,520
wrangle up a bunch of star athletes or celebrities from

1427
01:19:36,520 --> 01:19:40,760
whatever whatever field they may be from, that will always

1428
01:19:40,760 --> 01:19:44,359
take priority over everything else, because if they can use

1429
01:19:44,399 --> 01:19:46,520
those people as a way to put more publicity on

1430
01:19:46,640 --> 01:19:50,159
them and get those moments on those TV shows and

1431
01:19:50,239 --> 01:19:53,319
on Sports Center and on all these websites and all

1432
01:19:53,319 --> 01:19:56,720
these social media pages, then that's what they're going to do,

1433
01:19:57,760 --> 01:19:59,800
and that's going to be the main event. That's going

1434
01:19:59,880 --> 01:20:02,600
to be the most important thing on the show. I

1435
01:20:02,640 --> 01:20:04,720
would say I would call it the TKO effect, But

1436
01:20:05,560 --> 01:20:07,840
it's not like they weren't doing stuff like this before

1437
01:20:07,920 --> 01:20:10,840
TKO came along. Like, you know, do you think Vince

1438
01:20:10,880 --> 01:20:12,239
would have put this on at the beginning of the

1439
01:20:12,239 --> 01:20:15,560
show like, no, they would have closed with this, but

1440
01:20:15,640 --> 01:20:17,880
it is very much a TKO like segment. Ayah, I

1441
01:20:17,960 --> 01:20:20,199
just think back to the Pat McAfee stuff from earlier

1442
01:20:20,239 --> 01:20:23,439
this year. Oh my god, we got to get Pat

1443
01:20:23,520 --> 01:20:27,000
McAfee involved here. Now we can have celebrity involvement in

1444
01:20:27,000 --> 01:20:30,319
the main event of WrestleMania. So they decided, well, we

1445
01:20:30,359 --> 01:20:33,000
can use the New York Knicks and have this celebrity

1446
01:20:33,000 --> 01:20:35,119
of Halliburton was out there too, but you can have

1447
01:20:35,199 --> 01:20:38,520
this celebrity involvement and we'll try to use it in

1448
01:20:38,520 --> 01:20:41,680
a way that helps promote Roman Reigns against Seth Rollins,

1449
01:20:42,560 --> 01:20:45,159
which is our main event, our big main event for summerslant.

1450
01:20:46,640 --> 01:20:50,520
Not a terrible idea, but we didn't need fucking twenty

1451
01:20:50,560 --> 01:20:56,600
plus minutes of it that we didn't need. This did

1452
01:20:56,640 --> 01:20:59,199
not need to take up as much time as it did.

1453
01:21:00,119 --> 01:21:02,560
I'm sure the fans of Madison Square Garden loved it.

1454
01:21:02,920 --> 01:21:05,760
They were allowed for it. They loved seeing Kat earlier

1455
01:21:05,800 --> 01:21:08,159
in the show. They love seeing Jalen Brunson. The man

1456
01:21:08,199 --> 01:21:10,800
is he's a made man, you know, he's if they

1457
01:21:10,840 --> 01:21:14,000
never win another championship, he's a made man for the

1458
01:21:14,039 --> 01:21:17,159
rest of his life and they just won. So of

1459
01:21:17,239 --> 01:21:19,239
course he was going to be greeted like a hero.

1460
01:21:20,199 --> 01:21:21,199
Speaker 2: He was going to be he was.

1461
01:21:21,199 --> 01:21:27,359
Speaker 1: Going to be greeted like Odysseus returning home. And that's great,

1462
01:21:27,560 --> 01:21:31,039
But for the people watching at home on TV, it

1463
01:21:31,119 --> 01:21:33,039
probably didn't have the same effect as it did for

1464
01:21:33,039 --> 01:21:37,199
the people in the building. So that's how people felt

1465
01:21:37,239 --> 01:21:40,119
about it. They're not wrong because I'm watching this also

1466
01:21:40,159 --> 01:21:43,640
and I'm like, oh my god, like how long is

1467
01:21:43,680 --> 01:21:47,720
this segment? This is quite ridiculous. But at least they

1468
01:21:47,720 --> 01:21:50,960
were able to weave Rollins and Roman in there, and

1469
01:21:51,960 --> 01:21:56,600
the idea was okay. The execution was very weird. Seth

1470
01:21:56,680 --> 01:22:00,800
Rollins was booked as the fucking heel. I mean, clearly

1471
01:22:00,960 --> 01:22:03,479
Roman was the babyface and Seth was the heel, even

1472
01:22:03,520 --> 01:22:06,960
though Roman is really a heel, but he's treated like

1473
01:22:07,000 --> 01:22:10,680
a babyface and Rollins, who has been a babyface up

1474
01:22:10,680 --> 01:22:13,600
to this point and everything comes across as the heel.

1475
01:22:14,560 --> 01:22:17,840
So it was it was very bizarre. It was a

1476
01:22:17,960 --> 01:22:23,319
very very uh strange dynamic there. But you had to

1477
01:22:23,359 --> 01:22:25,640
know that them coming to Madison Square Garden, they were

1478
01:22:25,720 --> 01:22:29,680
going to do stuff with the New York Knicks. You

1479
01:22:29,720 --> 01:22:31,760
can't pretend like you didn't know that something like this

1480
01:22:31,960 --> 01:22:33,800
wasn't gonna be coming. As soon as they said that

1481
01:22:33,880 --> 01:22:36,000
Roman Reigns and Jalen Brunson were going to be together

1482
01:22:36,079 --> 01:22:38,039
on the show, you knew something was going down with

1483
01:22:38,079 --> 01:22:42,279
these two. It was exactly you know what you would

1484
01:22:42,279 --> 01:22:45,039
expect WW to do. I mean, Jalen Brunson is a

1485
01:22:45,159 --> 01:22:49,800
WWE fan. He's literally been on their television show before,

1486
01:22:49,960 --> 01:22:51,840
except he wasn't a champion back then.

1487
01:22:51,880 --> 01:22:52,359
Speaker 2: Now he is.

1488
01:22:52,399 --> 01:22:55,520
Speaker 1: He's the toast of the town. You mean, we can

1489
01:22:55,520 --> 01:22:58,319
get this guy on our show. We can get him

1490
01:22:58,359 --> 01:23:00,960
on our show walking into Madison Square for the first

1491
01:23:00,960 --> 01:23:04,840
time since his team won the championship. Oh, you know what.

1492
01:23:05,520 --> 01:23:07,880
That sounds great and all, but you know what, I

1493
01:23:07,920 --> 01:23:10,479
think we're probably better off putting another.

1494
01:23:10,199 --> 01:23:14,239
Speaker 3: Match on the show. I think we'll pass. I think

1495
01:23:14,279 --> 01:23:15,039
we'll pass.

1496
01:23:15,439 --> 01:23:18,840
Speaker 1: I think we'll have Tiffany Stratton defend her United States

1497
01:23:18,960 --> 01:23:22,279
Championship against the Keana James on the show. And so,

1498
01:23:22,399 --> 01:23:25,439
why are you out of your fucking mind? This is

1499
01:23:25,479 --> 01:23:29,560
what they do. This is WWE in a nuts show.

1500
01:23:30,520 --> 01:23:32,520
They are telling you that this is what is most

1501
01:23:32,520 --> 01:23:39,319
important to them. It was a one mets show nothing

1502
01:23:39,359 --> 01:23:41,880
else on this show mattered. It was a nice coup

1503
01:23:41,960 --> 01:23:43,680
for them to be able to get these guys in,

1504
01:23:43,760 --> 01:23:47,760
But none of this matters if you pay attention to

1505
01:23:47,800 --> 01:23:49,800
the product, if you care about the wrestling, if you

1506
01:23:49,840 --> 01:23:53,159
care about the talent and what really matters, and who's

1507
01:23:53,199 --> 01:23:55,720
going to Summer Slam, right Jalen Brunson's not going a

1508
01:23:55,760 --> 01:23:58,359
Summer Slam. You don't give a shit about any of this.

1509
01:23:58,880 --> 01:24:00,560
If you're not a New York nick, if you're a

1510
01:24:00,560 --> 01:24:03,159
Boston Celtics fan, or if you're not even an NBA fan,

1511
01:24:03,239 --> 01:24:06,640
you don't give a flying fuck about anything that happened

1512
01:24:06,680 --> 01:24:09,800
in this closing segment. All you need to know is

1513
01:24:09,800 --> 01:24:12,359
that CM Punk, Cody Road, Samby's Ain't and Gunther went

1514
01:24:12,399 --> 01:24:15,520
out there and had a really good tag team match,

1515
01:24:16,880 --> 01:24:19,600
and they have set things up for their singles match

1516
01:24:19,640 --> 01:24:22,800
for the championship at SummerSlam. We have new women's tag

1517
01:24:22,800 --> 01:24:26,279
team champions in a division that is not exactly lighting

1518
01:24:26,359 --> 01:24:28,399
the world on fire right now, So I'm not sure.

1519
01:24:28,319 --> 01:24:29,479
Speaker 2: Where they go to next.

1520
01:24:29,520 --> 01:24:32,199
Speaker 1: I mean, who's the next big challenger for Fatal Influence.

1521
01:24:32,239 --> 01:24:34,560
I don't think they probably even know at this point.

1522
01:24:35,319 --> 01:24:38,479
And that's it. It was basically a nothing show otherwise,

1523
01:24:39,159 --> 01:24:41,399
as most of these Saturday Nights made event shows are.

1524
01:24:42,760 --> 01:24:45,079
And I've said this before and I stand by it.

1525
01:24:45,119 --> 01:24:47,720
I think the minute that they went off NBC, they

1526
01:24:47,720 --> 01:24:50,520
stopped giving a shit, you know. I mean, they're they're

1527
01:24:51,760 --> 01:24:55,439
committed to doing these shows. They have these they're basically

1528
01:24:55,600 --> 01:24:59,840
quarterly specials at this point. It's some of the only

1529
01:25:00,079 --> 01:25:02,439
UF It may be the only stuff at this point

1530
01:25:02,479 --> 01:25:05,119
that's left on Peacock, right because they shifted all their

1531
01:25:05,119 --> 01:25:07,640
other content off Peacock. But they have this agreement with

1532
01:25:07,760 --> 01:25:11,680
NBC Universals, so they're committed to doing these shows. You'll

1533
01:25:11,720 --> 01:25:17,079
notice Jesse Venture is not invited anymore. They've retained some

1534
01:25:17,159 --> 01:25:20,560
of the retro elements. I'm glad they at least have some.

1535
01:25:21,560 --> 01:25:25,840
They didn't keep all of them. And you know, it's

1536
01:25:25,880 --> 01:25:29,319
like they're not on NBC. They don't have that network

1537
01:25:29,399 --> 01:25:33,279
television exposure anymore. It's on fucking Peacock, So they kind

1538
01:25:33,279 --> 01:25:35,319
of have they half assed not even kind of, I

1539
01:25:35,319 --> 01:25:36,680
mean they fucking half ass it.

1540
01:25:36,760 --> 01:25:37,439
Speaker 2: Most of the time.

1541
01:25:39,560 --> 01:25:41,560
Speaker 1: If you miss a Saturday Night's main event, unless it's

1542
01:25:41,640 --> 01:25:45,000
John cen Is retirement match, you're not missing anything. The

1543
01:25:45,039 --> 01:25:47,000
real show is coming up in a couple of weeks

1544
01:25:47,359 --> 01:25:50,239
in Minneapolis, and that's the one that they really better

1545
01:25:50,520 --> 01:25:54,279
start to focus on as heavily as possible, because there's

1546
01:25:54,319 --> 01:25:56,760
a reason why they're putting tickets on sale for twenty

1547
01:25:56,760 --> 01:25:59,600
five dollars. There's a reason why lower Bowl seats are

1548
01:25:59,600 --> 01:26:04,279
nowailable for forty three dollars a year ago that wasn't happening,

1549
01:26:04,640 --> 01:26:07,079
and the reason is because they're not selling as many tickets,

1550
01:26:08,039 --> 01:26:10,359
and so they need to focus on that and figure

1551
01:26:10,399 --> 01:26:12,600
out why that is. Because they have some big matches

1552
01:26:12,600 --> 01:26:15,079
that have been announced for Summer Slam. It's not a

1553
01:26:15,079 --> 01:26:20,760
bad card, but clearly they're not giving people everything that

1554
01:26:20,800 --> 01:26:25,199
they would like to see. That coupled with high ticket prices,

1555
01:26:25,279 --> 01:26:28,560
is a recipe for what we're seeing here where they

1556
01:26:28,560 --> 01:26:30,960
have twenty three thousand tickets out for each night of

1557
01:26:31,000 --> 01:26:34,439
Summer Slam in a stadium that fits well more than

1558
01:26:34,479 --> 01:26:39,920
double that. Focus on that you had your fun tonight

1559
01:26:39,960 --> 01:26:42,760
with the Knicks and everything and all your celebrity Gaga bullshit.

1560
01:26:42,840 --> 01:26:45,439
Now focus on Summer Slam and trying to sell tickets

1561
01:26:45,439 --> 01:26:48,640
for the show. That's where their focus needs to be.

1562
01:26:51,720 --> 01:26:52,640
Let's take a look at what.

1563
01:26:54,119 --> 01:26:54,680
Speaker 2: You guys have.

1564
01:26:54,680 --> 01:26:56,920
Speaker 1: Done on the likes end here and see where we are,

1565
01:26:56,960 --> 01:27:00,359
because if you recall, the Wheel said we need five

1566
01:27:00,439 --> 01:27:03,319
hundred likes, we are currently sitting at five hundred and

1567
01:27:03,319 --> 01:27:06,600
forty three. So we are in fact going to be

1568
01:27:06,600 --> 01:27:08,359
doing be the Booker, which just great to say, Oh

1569
01:27:08,399 --> 01:27:09,079
we hit the bonus.

1570
01:27:09,079 --> 01:27:09,239
Speaker 2: Goll.

1571
01:27:10,920 --> 01:27:15,079
Speaker 1: I literally just looked up. I just looked up and

1572
01:27:15,079 --> 01:27:18,000
saw it. SmackDown is still on people, Well, SmackDown is

1573
01:27:18,039 --> 01:27:20,680
airing on USA Network, but yeah, SmackDown, I guess is

1574
01:27:20,840 --> 01:27:26,520
the archives are on Peacock. You know, everything is so

1575
01:27:27,079 --> 01:27:29,439
fucking just spread out.

1576
01:27:30,039 --> 01:27:30,840
Speaker 2: God, I hate that.

1577
01:27:31,800 --> 01:27:33,760
Speaker 1: It was so much better when everything was just kind

1578
01:27:33,760 --> 01:27:36,840
of in one place, like on the network, and now

1579
01:27:36,840 --> 01:27:39,680
it's all spread out. It's like, you got this show

1580
01:27:39,720 --> 01:27:42,399
over here NXT on the CW, and you got this

1581
01:27:42,479 --> 01:27:44,479
on Peacock, and you got this on Netflix and you

1582
01:27:44,560 --> 01:27:44,800
got the.

1583
01:27:44,840 --> 01:27:50,399
Speaker 2: Oh god, the hell out of here. Man. It's awful.

1584
01:27:51,600 --> 01:27:57,439
Speaker 1: Old school Saturday night's main event shows still on Peacock. Yep,

1585
01:27:58,439 --> 01:28:01,520
there have been some really really good ones too. In fact,

1586
01:28:01,520 --> 01:28:04,079
I believe on the WWE Vault channel right now they

1587
01:28:04,119 --> 01:28:07,560
have as they have all week, they have an ongoing

1588
01:28:07,640 --> 01:28:09,159
Saturday Night's Made of m Marathon.

1589
01:28:10,800 --> 01:28:12,079
Speaker 2: It's been looping all week.

1590
01:28:14,079 --> 01:28:16,159
Speaker 1: I jetted into it yesterday and it was in the

1591
01:28:16,159 --> 01:28:22,000
middle of Octoberfest, and I believe I was watching Brett Hart,

1592
01:28:22,159 --> 01:28:27,239
Jim Ninheart, the Islanders. Who else was there? They were

1593
01:28:27,239 --> 01:28:32,439
doing I think a sausage making contest. I was more

1594
01:28:32,560 --> 01:28:34,840
entertained by that than most of what I saw on

1595
01:28:34,880 --> 01:28:45,079
this show. Let's get into your super chats here, then

1596
01:28:45,119 --> 01:28:46,840
we can do some be the booker. I know you

1597
01:28:46,840 --> 01:28:51,399
guys are waiting for that, and hit the bonus.

1598
01:28:51,079 --> 01:28:51,840
Speaker 2: Goal and everything.

1599
01:28:56,079 --> 01:29:00,119
Speaker 1: WWE Network was amazing if you think about it, I

1600
01:29:00,199 --> 01:29:03,720
think one of those things, man, you don't know what

1601
01:29:03,760 --> 01:29:06,439
you got until it's gone. I even like the original

1602
01:29:06,479 --> 01:29:16,439
content table for three WWE story Time, The Edging Christians

1603
01:29:16,479 --> 01:29:24,000
show that totally reeks of awesomeness. GMB love EO, but

1604
01:29:24,239 --> 01:29:29,159
Lyra might be the number one women's wrestler there. I

1605
01:29:29,159 --> 01:29:35,399
don't think she's number one, but she's really good. I

1606
01:29:35,399 --> 01:29:38,640
wouldn't mind a heel Lyra against EO. I think that

1607
01:29:38,680 --> 01:29:41,119
would make for a great match. How about we get that.

1608
01:29:41,399 --> 01:29:44,680
Maybe we can get that after EO beats Live and

1609
01:29:44,800 --> 01:29:48,800
takes the championship. Out of purgatory? Can we get that match?

1610
01:29:51,600 --> 01:29:57,920
Brody Pizza, a bag of bugles, and solo monster on

1611
01:29:57,920 --> 01:30:02,640
a Saturday night? What more could you ask for a

1612
01:30:02,680 --> 01:30:05,760
hot blonde to enjoy it all with.

1613
01:30:07,840 --> 01:30:10,920
Speaker 2: And send her my way?

1614
01:30:11,760 --> 01:30:15,039
Speaker 1: God, I sell like Vince Saint James with the two

1615
01:30:15,039 --> 01:30:20,600
bucks wearing my luchador mask to Fetish night tonight. I'm

1616
01:30:20,800 --> 01:30:25,199
going to pretend I didn't read that Venom Kitetsu.

1617
01:30:26,239 --> 01:30:27,439
Speaker 2: With the twelve dollars.

1618
01:30:27,520 --> 01:30:33,119
Speaker 1: Learning Tree says the women's tag match was as predictable

1619
01:30:33,159 --> 01:30:36,119
as the sun rising in the morning. Yes, but it

1620
01:30:36,159 --> 01:30:41,520
was the right outcome for the sake of fatal influence. Thankfully,

1621
01:30:41,520 --> 01:30:45,760
it was the correct outcome most of these matches. I mean,

1622
01:30:45,760 --> 01:30:47,920
I'm sorry to say it. It's just I don't know,

1623
01:30:48,319 --> 01:30:50,880
it's the style, I guess if you want to call

1624
01:30:50,960 --> 01:30:54,239
it that, most of these matches they don't mean anything

1625
01:30:54,399 --> 01:30:57,760
like you know, it just feels like they're going through

1626
01:30:57,760 --> 01:31:01,359
the motions. They're just doing their doing some moves and

1627
01:31:03,600 --> 01:31:06,600
there's nothing terribly exciting about the moves that they're doing,

1628
01:31:08,359 --> 01:31:13,880
and then it's over. I don't feel anything with most

1629
01:31:13,880 --> 01:31:19,880
of these matches on these WWE shows, except that main

1630
01:31:19,920 --> 01:31:27,039
event that main event was quite good, Alexander. I'm curious

1631
01:31:27,039 --> 01:31:29,279
if nick All this gets stripped of his role as

1632
01:31:29,479 --> 01:31:32,800
GM since he finally decided to do something unprofessional and

1633
01:31:32,840 --> 01:31:36,920
cost Gunhar his match at the very least, I think

1634
01:31:36,960 --> 01:31:44,960
he should be sent back home on administrative leave. Try

1635
01:31:45,039 --> 01:31:47,319
Chickens says, I bet Sammy's aim will cost Cody Roads

1636
01:31:47,399 --> 01:31:51,399
the WWE Championship by disqualification, and he probably will cost

1637
01:31:51,520 --> 01:31:54,159
nick All this his match against Gunther. Sammy will be

1638
01:31:54,840 --> 01:31:56,960
a party put well. That would be fucking terrible, by

1639
01:31:56,960 --> 01:31:58,520
the way, So I hope they're not listening to this

1640
01:31:58,640 --> 01:32:04,199
right now. He's just gonna randomly cause disqualifications across the

1641
01:32:04,199 --> 01:32:06,640
Summer Slam card. Maybe he should just interfere in the

1642
01:32:06,640 --> 01:32:11,840
women's ladder match too while he's at it. Maybe Sammy

1643
01:32:11,880 --> 01:32:14,119
can enter himself into the ladder match and just scale

1644
01:32:14,159 --> 01:32:16,359
the ladder and pull the Women's Championship down. That might

1645
01:32:16,359 --> 01:32:17,359
be the only belt he can win.

1646
01:32:17,399 --> 01:32:17,920
Speaker 2: At this point.

1647
01:32:22,600 --> 01:32:26,840
Speaker 1: We got thirty one Gara. I'm calling it now. Sammy

1648
01:32:26,920 --> 01:32:29,279
is going to beat up Adam Peers for putting him

1649
01:32:29,319 --> 01:32:31,880
in this situation to begin with, the last good guy

1650
01:32:32,000 --> 01:32:36,039
against the Last alcoholic On Night two, We'll get the

1651
01:32:36,079 --> 01:32:39,920
gms then in matches on both nights of Summer Slim.

1652
01:32:40,159 --> 01:32:41,239
Speaker 2: That'll sell some tickets.

1653
01:32:43,039 --> 01:32:47,000
Speaker 1: Hey, we're literally running more than half behind what we

1654
01:32:47,039 --> 01:32:49,359
did last year in ticket sales. How can we drum

1655
01:32:49,479 --> 01:32:51,600
up ticket sales for Summer Salem this year? Why do

1656
01:32:51,760 --> 01:32:54,079
we put the two general managers back in the ring?

1657
01:32:56,159 --> 01:33:03,600
How about we do that? That's a great idea. Holiday

1658
01:33:03,640 --> 01:33:06,960
one ninety seven says Hi Solo. I think Sammy may

1659
01:33:07,000 --> 01:33:09,319
miss competing at SummerSlam, but will come out at the

1660
01:33:09,439 --> 01:33:13,079
end of the pay per view forming an anti establishment faction.

1661
01:33:13,600 --> 01:33:17,119
Kevin Owens returns with Drew McIntyre to unite with Sammy,

1662
01:33:18,000 --> 01:33:21,000
and there is your wargames storyline.

1663
01:33:21,640 --> 01:33:23,000
Speaker 2: I like the way you think.

1664
01:33:24,239 --> 01:33:26,680
Speaker 1: See now, that is some creative thinking that I could

1665
01:33:26,720 --> 01:33:31,520
get behind. I could definitely get behind that. I've been

1666
01:33:31,560 --> 01:33:33,640
wondering where Drew has been because I thought Drew was

1667
01:33:33,680 --> 01:33:37,720
done filming, but maybe there was something else that he

1668
01:33:37,800 --> 01:33:40,159
was gonna film. Yeah, he may be filming something else.

1669
01:33:40,520 --> 01:33:42,920
I don't know how practical it is, but I don't

1670
01:33:42,960 --> 01:33:47,199
hate your idea. Anything but just another bloodline Wargames match,

1671
01:33:48,199 --> 01:33:51,520
but the love of God, please, anything but another bloodline war.

1672
01:33:51,600 --> 01:33:54,039
Can we keep the bloodline out of wargames for one year?

1673
01:33:54,159 --> 01:33:56,880
Speaker 2: One year? Is it possible? Can we do that? Please?

1674
01:34:04,199 --> 01:34:10,680
Speaker 1: Solemn Monster's Lost Son four ninety nine. Hi Dad, I've

1675
01:34:10,720 --> 01:34:13,199
missed you. Sorry, I haven't been here. I've been busy

1676
01:34:13,239 --> 01:34:16,399
with work. When are we going to the Mets game?

1677
01:34:17,319 --> 01:34:21,399
Like you promised? Well, when I made that promise to you,

1678
01:34:21,439 --> 01:34:24,800
they were actually a promising team that was at the

1679
01:34:24,880 --> 01:34:27,880
very beginning of the season. They are no longer a

1680
01:34:27,960 --> 01:34:33,119
promising team. The only promise that the Mets will make

1681
01:34:33,159 --> 01:34:40,159
to you is that they will infuriate you. We will

1682
01:34:40,159 --> 01:34:48,840
be going to know such game. A broadcaster dropped ten

1683
01:34:48,880 --> 01:34:51,399
dollars for the Goldhausen, which we did hit.

1684
01:34:54,560 --> 01:34:55,439
Speaker 2: Thank you brother.

1685
01:35:00,640 --> 01:35:02,880
Speaker 1: With the twenty dollars super chat. Here's a movie I

1686
01:35:02,880 --> 01:35:08,840
think you would like. Eighties animated classic jud Nelson, Robert Stack,

1687
01:35:09,159 --> 01:35:15,680
Eric Idol, and Casey Cason syntho synth score by the

1688
01:35:15,720 --> 01:35:18,680
guy who did Stallan's Cobra sound good. It's a little

1689
01:35:18,680 --> 01:35:24,159
flick called Transformers of the movie that does sound quite good.

1690
01:35:29,840 --> 01:35:32,880
Speaker 2: EJ slim I.

1691
01:35:32,920 --> 01:35:34,439
Speaker 1: Like how you set that up, by the way he

1692
01:35:35,159 --> 01:35:43,600
took the time to really build it up. EJ says

1693
01:35:43,640 --> 01:35:46,479
my brother and I leave from Milwaukee tomorrow. I'm seeing

1694
01:35:46,520 --> 01:35:50,760
your Mets against the Brewers on Monday for Freddy Peralta's return.

1695
01:35:52,479 --> 01:36:00,640
Big spenders against overachievers. Well, congrats on the wind.

1696
01:36:02,039 --> 01:36:02,439
Speaker 2: I saw that.

1697
01:36:02,520 --> 01:36:10,079
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Mets lost again today to the Phillies. Chris

1698
01:36:10,119 --> 01:36:15,000
Mike Sell, who is your favorite WWF European champion of

1699
01:36:15,000 --> 01:36:17,600
all time? Mine was d Loo Brown, such a nice

1700
01:36:17,640 --> 01:36:22,439
looking belt, short lived? Why did it fall off? I

1701
01:36:22,479 --> 01:36:25,800
think it was something that was just created for the bulldog, honestly,

1702
01:36:25,960 --> 01:36:31,720
and you know, after him and Sean, I mean they

1703
01:36:31,760 --> 01:36:36,640
never really took it seriously again after that. Honestly, I

1704
01:36:36,680 --> 01:36:38,680
did like it. I thought it was a good looking belt.

1705
01:36:39,279 --> 01:36:42,239
As far as my favorite European champion, I would have

1706
01:36:42,319 --> 01:36:47,520
to go Delo, but Dlo was very entertaining. Jeremy Rose,

1707
01:36:47,560 --> 01:36:50,520
if all this isn't fired, then what are we doing?

1708
01:36:53,439 --> 01:36:55,279
You have a very little that they do make sense,

1709
01:36:55,319 --> 01:36:57,560
So I don't know why we would expect this to

1710
01:36:57,600 --> 01:37:01,199
all of a sudden it makes sense. I said this

1711
01:37:01,279 --> 01:37:04,119
in the smack Dab review last night. Like Jade Car

1712
01:37:04,159 --> 01:37:10,560
gild breaks breaks Alexa Bliss's arm the very next week,

1713
01:37:10,760 --> 01:37:13,760
she doesn't even get like taken off television for a week.

1714
01:37:14,079 --> 01:37:16,760
The very next week, she's in a qualifying match to

1715
01:37:17,000 --> 01:37:25,039
potentially challenge for the women's championship at SummerSlam. Charlotte Flair

1716
01:37:25,079 --> 01:37:30,279
gets involved in Jade's qualifying match, and she is rewarded

1717
01:37:30,319 --> 01:37:32,680
with one of her own on the show.

1718
01:37:32,600 --> 01:37:34,760
Speaker 2: Next week against Naya.

1719
01:37:34,600 --> 01:37:43,920
Speaker 1: Jacks, Gunther viciously assaults his boss and gets rewarded by

1720
01:37:43,960 --> 01:37:46,239
being allowed to stay in a tag team match tonight

1721
01:37:46,279 --> 01:37:48,199
that could very well result in him ending.

1722
01:37:48,079 --> 01:37:49,720
Speaker 2: Up in the main event of Summer Slam, and.

1723
01:37:49,640 --> 01:37:53,439
Speaker 1: Then in said tag team match, the boss that he

1724
01:37:53,479 --> 01:37:56,039
beat up in her fears and attacks him, which also

1725
01:37:56,199 --> 01:38:00,199
cost a completely innocent person his opportunity to go two

1726
01:38:00,239 --> 01:38:04,760
Summer Slam to challenge for the championship. There are no

1727
01:38:04,880 --> 01:38:11,039
rules on this show. Nothing is fair, nothing makes sense, nothing,

1728
01:38:12,279 --> 01:38:20,600
not a single thing. We got Retro Mintman with a ten.

1729
01:38:20,479 --> 01:38:21,399
Speaker 2: Dollars super chat.

1730
01:38:21,479 --> 01:38:25,000
Speaker 1: Do you recall the first WWF event that you attended live?

1731
01:38:25,119 --> 01:38:28,199
Wishing you a blessed night from San Antonio. Thank you

1732
01:38:28,279 --> 01:38:29,199
for all that you do.

1733
01:38:30,600 --> 01:38:35,680
Speaker 2: Thank you, Retro mint Man. I do I do.

1734
01:38:35,960 --> 01:38:38,159
Speaker 1: First event I ever went to live was the day

1735
01:38:38,199 --> 01:38:42,680
after Christmas in nineteen eighty seven, and it was at

1736
01:38:42,680 --> 01:38:47,199
the very building that we had tonight. Saturday Night's main event,

1737
01:38:47,199 --> 01:38:51,439
it was Madison Square Guard. It was Randy Savage and

1738
01:38:51,479 --> 01:38:53,800
the Honky talk Man in the main event for the

1739
01:38:53,840 --> 01:39:03,640
Intercontinental Time Jeremy Rose, what match do you see Drew returning.

1740
01:39:05,159 --> 01:39:05,359
Speaker 2: At?

1741
01:39:06,000 --> 01:39:10,359
Speaker 1: What match do you see Drew returning at SummerSlam? I

1742
01:39:10,439 --> 01:39:13,880
don't quite understand the question. When do I see Drew returning?

1743
01:39:13,920 --> 01:39:16,319
I think that's the question. I kind of like the

1744
01:39:16,600 --> 01:39:19,800
Holidays idea from before about him showing up at the

1745
01:39:19,840 --> 01:39:21,760
end of Night one or whenever the Punk and Cody

1746
01:39:21,800 --> 01:39:30,119
matches and forming an alliance. Not that him and Sammy

1747
01:39:30,239 --> 01:39:33,600
is stablemates makes too much sense, but nothing makes sense

1748
01:39:33,640 --> 01:39:36,840
in this company, So who gives a fuck? Right Realistically,

1749
01:39:36,840 --> 01:39:38,039
when do I see him coming back?

1750
01:39:38,079 --> 01:39:38,479
Speaker 2: I don't know.

1751
01:39:38,720 --> 01:39:43,079
Speaker 1: I'm almost positive he's filming something else right now. I

1752
01:39:43,119 --> 01:39:48,720
think I don't know. Sooner we get him back, the better.

1753
01:39:48,760 --> 01:39:53,319
It'd be another big name back on the show. Jeremiah.

1754
01:39:53,880 --> 01:39:57,079
This goes towards the belt fund. Ah, thank you. Yes,

1755
01:39:57,159 --> 01:39:59,000
I have to start building up the fund for my

1756
01:40:00,520 --> 01:40:03,319
New York Knicks replica. But are they are they selling them?

1757
01:40:03,359 --> 01:40:05,359
I mean, we're talking about it is if they are

1758
01:40:05,359 --> 01:40:08,079
selling them.

1759
01:40:08,159 --> 01:40:11,840
Speaker 2: I have to check. Now, they have to be selling them.

1760
01:40:11,880 --> 01:40:12,439
Are you kidding me?

1761
01:40:12,479 --> 01:40:16,640
Speaker 1: They're going to make a fortune of these things. Let's

1762
01:40:16,680 --> 01:40:18,359
take a look. Of course, the first thing I see

1763
01:40:18,399 --> 01:40:24,760
ONWWE shop Dan Housen Official Merchandise Saturday Nights made Event NYC.

1764
01:40:28,000 --> 01:40:30,039
Now it looks like they made that custom for Brunson.

1765
01:40:31,479 --> 01:40:33,159
But if they put that belt on sale, they're going

1766
01:40:33,239 --> 01:40:35,279
to make a shitload of Oh no, it is here.

1767
01:40:37,199 --> 01:40:41,399
I stand corrected, I stand corrected.

1768
01:40:41,439 --> 01:40:41,920
Speaker 2: It is here.

1769
01:40:47,479 --> 01:40:55,279
Speaker 1: Seven hundred dollars ships on or before December fourth, twenty

1770
01:40:55,359 --> 01:40:55,960
twenty six.

1771
01:41:00,079 --> 01:41:03,680
Speaker 3: It's a good looking belt.

1772
01:41:04,920 --> 01:41:06,840
Speaker 2: That is a good looking belt.

1773
01:41:10,840 --> 01:41:18,920
Speaker 1: I don't know about that seven hundred bucks though, thank you, Jeremiah.

1774
01:41:19,399 --> 01:41:23,039
Jeremy Rose says Cody got in Punk's face during the

1775
01:41:23,079 --> 01:41:23,600
post show.

1776
01:41:23,640 --> 01:41:24,199
Speaker 2: They teased.

1777
01:41:24,239 --> 01:41:26,800
Speaker 1: Heel termed, but WWE will just end summer slang with

1778
01:41:26,880 --> 01:41:29,960
Cody shaking Punk's hand. I'm not going to get excited,

1779
01:41:32,159 --> 01:41:34,840
I said. If anybody is gonna go heal in this situation,

1780
01:41:35,199 --> 01:41:44,000
I would much rather be Cody than Punk. Reborn bladder.

1781
01:41:44,399 --> 01:41:47,079
As a non sports fan, I could not even get

1782
01:41:47,119 --> 01:41:51,359
past the entrance. Segments like these are why I watch

1783
01:41:51,600 --> 01:41:55,159
the streams. You mean to tell me a non sports

1784
01:41:55,239 --> 01:41:58,359
fan didn't enjoy the circle jerk there at the end

1785
01:41:58,399 --> 01:42:04,800
of the show tonight. I'm shocked, shocked, I tell you,

1786
01:42:07,399 --> 01:42:13,279
Jeremy Rose. The lts Tyson's Mayweather's were used back in

1787
01:42:13,319 --> 01:42:15,159
the day, but the way we did it made it

1788
01:42:15,199 --> 01:42:22,880
seem somewhat special. Now they use any and every celebrity

1789
01:42:22,960 --> 01:42:25,479
quote unquote that they can get, and it's just watered

1790
01:42:25,479 --> 01:42:30,000
down now. Yeah, because they've leaned into the celebrity culture,

1791
01:42:30,079 --> 01:42:33,239
so any big name they can get, they don't really

1792
01:42:33,239 --> 01:42:35,319
give too much thought to is this a good idea?

1793
01:42:35,399 --> 01:42:37,439
How are we going to utilize them in the best way.

1794
01:42:37,600 --> 01:42:40,279
They just throw them out there because it makes them

1795
01:42:40,319 --> 01:42:43,239
feel bigger. Look who we have, Look who's a fan

1796
01:42:43,279 --> 01:42:48,359
of what we do. Look who's in the crowd. Right

1797
01:42:48,439 --> 01:42:51,520
in their mind, it makes them feel that much more special,

1798
01:42:52,039 --> 01:42:55,760
that much more of a hot product, even if it's

1799
01:42:55,800 --> 01:43:02,399
really not Cat look like a giant, because he is

1800
01:43:02,439 --> 01:43:09,880
a giant. He's a giant. Man Jersey authentic with another ten.

1801
01:43:10,199 --> 01:43:11,600
Speaker 2: Thank you, Jersey.

1802
01:43:13,119 --> 01:43:15,279
Speaker 1: I'm becoming more of a fan of Jersey tonight than

1803
01:43:15,279 --> 01:43:18,000
I have at any other point in my life. Sports

1804
01:43:18,039 --> 01:43:23,039
Talk with Jose rodrig I assume that's Rodriguez. The name

1805
01:43:23,119 --> 01:43:27,800
is abbreviated, but he's coming in hot the ten dollars

1806
01:43:27,800 --> 01:43:37,560
super Chat. Thank you, Thank you. Brother bas Bears, God

1807
01:43:37,720 --> 01:43:45,840
of Seduction says, all the content being spread across different

1808
01:43:45,920 --> 01:43:50,199
platforms is such a disservice to WWE and fans, makes

1809
01:43:50,239 --> 01:43:53,840
it hard to stay invested. It's also very expensive to

1810
01:43:53,880 --> 01:43:57,319
have all of these subscriptions. Yeah, you kind of have

1811
01:43:57,359 --> 01:44:01,600
to prioritize. I mean, how many services are there at

1812
01:44:01,600 --> 01:44:10,720
this point. There's Netflix, Paramount Plus, Peacock, HBO Max, It's Amazon,

1813
01:44:10,920 --> 01:44:15,600
Apple TV. Keep hearing about that show Widow's Bay on

1814
01:44:15,720 --> 01:44:18,760
Apple TV. I don't have an Apple TV subscription, but

1815
01:44:20,119 --> 01:44:21,600
I'm gonna have to find a way to check that

1816
01:44:21,680 --> 01:44:24,359
show out at some point. But I still got to

1817
01:44:24,399 --> 01:44:29,840
watch The Penguin, which is on HBO Max. It's a lot,

1818
01:44:31,640 --> 01:44:36,279
It's a lot, And I'm sure that's not even all

1819
01:44:36,319 --> 01:44:39,600
of them. I'm sure I'm missing I'm sure i'm missing

1820
01:44:39,640 --> 01:44:42,920
some Hulu. There you go ESPN and say, I fucking

1821
01:44:42,960 --> 01:44:50,640
knew it. It's ridiculous, ridiculous. The only subscription you need

1822
01:44:50,720 --> 01:44:53,279
is a membership here on the solemn monster sounds off channel,

1823
01:44:55,319 --> 01:44:58,920
say fuck you to them, and that's all you need.

1824
01:45:00,600 --> 01:45:04,600
Jeremy Rose says, if we lived in bizarro world and

1825
01:45:04,760 --> 01:45:08,680
WWE brought back the network and charged fifty dollars a month,

1826
01:45:11,640 --> 01:45:18,319
would you pay that fifty dollars a month for the network?

1827
01:45:19,239 --> 01:45:19,800
Speaker 2: It depends.

1828
01:45:19,800 --> 01:45:21,720
Speaker 1: I mean when you say that they put everything on there,

1829
01:45:21,760 --> 01:45:25,399
I mean, are we talking because we haven't had a

1830
01:45:25,399 --> 01:45:29,079
complete for example, Monday Night Raw Library in years. Netflix

1831
01:45:29,159 --> 01:45:33,079
is absolute fucking garbage when it comes to the Raw Vault,

1832
01:45:33,119 --> 01:45:39,640
the Raw Vault is pathetic, it is anemic. If we

1833
01:45:39,720 --> 01:45:43,279
had a full Raw Vault, SmackDown Vault NXT, going back

1834
01:45:43,319 --> 01:45:46,000
to the early days of that, the syndicated shows, prime

1835
01:45:46,039 --> 01:45:49,439
time they had on there, the Colisseum videos again, a

1836
01:45:49,439 --> 01:45:51,920
lot of this stuff that they already had previously, although

1837
01:45:51,920 --> 01:45:54,239
they were not everything was up yet, they were in

1838
01:45:54,279 --> 01:45:57,840
the process of slowly rolling stuff out. If it was

1839
01:45:57,880 --> 01:46:00,479
truly access to like all of that stuff and all

1840
01:46:00,520 --> 01:46:05,239
of the ples and Saturday Night's main events and everything else, yeah,

1841
01:46:05,239 --> 01:46:11,359
I would fifty bucks a month would still be a

1842
01:46:11,399 --> 01:46:16,840
reach for a lot of people, but I would I

1843
01:46:16,880 --> 01:46:19,159
still feel like it would pay for all the pls

1844
01:46:19,199 --> 01:46:20,840
were on there. I feel like it would pay for itself.

1845
01:46:28,520 --> 01:46:30,680
Jeremy says, if we, oh, we just read that one

1846
01:46:30,760 --> 01:46:36,119
so Cal Chris, that sausage making contest featured bushwhackers and

1847
01:46:36,159 --> 01:46:40,760
the Genius, No did it? I thought I saw Haku

1848
01:46:40,840 --> 01:46:45,239
in there. The bushwhackers were definitely there, the Genius.

1849
01:46:45,239 --> 01:46:51,720
Speaker 2: I don't remember EJ.

1850
01:46:51,840 --> 01:46:54,560
Speaker 1: Slimpsys being from Chicago. Two movies I always think of

1851
01:46:54,600 --> 01:46:57,600
when I'm downtown, The Dark Knight and The Blues Brothers.

1852
01:46:57,760 --> 01:47:05,119
Do you have movies that are like that New York City? Yeah, Cloverfield,

1853
01:47:06,239 --> 01:47:09,680
That's my number one man. You get a monster movie

1854
01:47:09,680 --> 01:47:12,680
with a monster just clomping through the streets of New

1855
01:47:12,760 --> 01:47:24,239
York City. Cloverfield, Man, without a doubt. Bas Bears Rest

1856
01:47:24,279 --> 01:47:28,319
in peace. Daphne. I think somebody in the chat the

1857
01:47:28,319 --> 01:47:31,640
other night said that she would have been fifty one.

1858
01:47:32,239 --> 01:47:32,840
Speaker 2: That accurate.

1859
01:47:33,920 --> 01:47:43,119
Speaker 1: Also says another Summerfest Already time flies, it does indeed,

1860
01:47:45,399 --> 01:47:49,239
And Jeremy Rose, I meant, what match would you think

1861
01:47:49,359 --> 01:47:51,479
Drew would make his return? I think he helps all

1862
01:47:51,560 --> 01:47:55,039
this versus Gunther, setting up Gunther feud and then maybe

1863
01:47:55,079 --> 01:48:01,239
a title shot after he feuds with gun Through. Because

1864
01:48:01,239 --> 01:48:04,880
he helps, Why would he help all this. They basically

1865
01:48:04,920 --> 01:48:07,079
gave his story to Gun there. This should have been

1866
01:48:07,159 --> 01:48:11,000
MacIntyre against all this, but they never pulled the trigger

1867
01:48:11,039 --> 01:48:11,319
on it.

1868
01:48:15,319 --> 01:48:15,520
Speaker 2: Oh.

1869
01:48:15,640 --> 01:48:20,399
Speaker 1: Diehard three, Yes, Diehard three is another one, absolutely, absolutely

1870
01:48:21,760 --> 01:48:23,560
definitely a New York City movie.

1871
01:48:25,560 --> 01:48:30,119
Speaker 2: He gott escape from New York as well. By the way, Yeah.

1872
01:48:29,920 --> 01:48:31,920
Speaker 1: How can I forget Diehard three? Diehard three is one

1873
01:48:31,920 --> 01:48:38,600
of my all time favorites. But as far as the match,

1874
01:48:39,520 --> 01:48:41,720
I mean, sure he can interfere in the gun through

1875
01:48:41,720 --> 01:48:43,159
an all this match, but I don't know why he

1876
01:48:43,159 --> 01:48:48,399
would be assisting. If I'm understanding you correctly, why would

1877
01:48:48,439 --> 01:48:49,720
he be assisting.

1878
01:48:51,000 --> 01:48:51,359
Speaker 2: All this.

1879
01:48:56,840 --> 01:49:01,640
Speaker 1: Retro Koh says uh ha long just two hours from

1880
01:49:01,720 --> 01:49:06,239
me is where King Kong was filmed? Well, I guess

1881
01:49:06,239 --> 01:49:09,000
it's also King Kong ninety eight, right, that was New

1882
01:49:09,079 --> 01:49:17,119
York City. I don't forget the New Friday the Thirteenth.

1883
01:49:16,840 --> 01:49:20,479
Speaker 2: Movie, Oka says boukock On.

1884
01:49:28,000 --> 01:49:32,680
Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, no no, the Bukocky Ghost.

1885
01:49:33,119 --> 01:49:34,039
Speaker 2: No not tonight.

1886
01:49:35,039 --> 01:49:38,279
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I wasn't expecting an appearance from the ghost.

1887
01:49:39,159 --> 01:49:44,399
The ghost is back thanks to Hoveli with a sixty

1888
01:49:44,520 --> 01:49:52,760
nine dollars super chat drop. All right, meant Godzilla. What

1889
01:49:52,880 --> 01:49:55,640
did I say, King Kong? I meant Godzilla King Kong.

1890
01:49:55,680 --> 01:49:58,239
Ain got shpit on me. No, it was it was Godzilla.

1891
01:49:58,239 --> 01:50:02,560
You're right, Godzilla ninety eight. People are like, wait, was

1892
01:50:02,640 --> 01:50:04,800
there a new King Kong movie that I was unaware of?

1893
01:50:06,560 --> 01:50:08,159
Speaker 2: What is that? What is that?

1894
01:50:08,159 --> 01:50:11,239
Speaker 1: That's the Bukacki ghost and you better you better show

1895
01:50:11,279 --> 01:50:14,159
some respect or he'll be stalking you in your dreams

1896
01:50:14,199 --> 01:50:18,279
and you don't want that. Believe me, you definitely do

1897
01:50:18,399 --> 01:50:23,720
not want that. Abusika is the man responsible for that

1898
01:50:24,640 --> 01:50:28,159
super chat, but Javili is the one who dropped it

1899
01:50:29,680 --> 01:50:39,039
by sell or rent Favorite SummerSlam nineteen ninety six, two

1900
01:50:39,119 --> 01:50:49,520
thousand and six, twenty sixteen. Hm, well, I was at

1901
01:50:50,199 --> 01:50:55,760
SummerSlam in twenty sixteen, and I could tell you that

1902
01:50:55,800 --> 01:50:57,760
one of the greatest Summer Slim matches of all time

1903
01:50:57,840 --> 01:51:00,439
was on that show, which is aj Styles and seen

1904
01:51:00,479 --> 01:51:05,199
him and one of the best matches I've ever seen live.

1905
01:51:06,279 --> 01:51:09,319
Not the best, but it is. It is among the best.

1906
01:51:10,800 --> 01:51:12,279
As far as the rest of the show. I'm just

1907
01:51:12,319 --> 01:51:15,199
looking at the rest of the card here just to

1908
01:51:15,319 --> 01:51:21,399
jog my memory. M Yeah, I mean, not a great

1909
01:51:21,479 --> 01:51:25,279
show otherwise. Finn Balor got hurt that night. That was

1910
01:51:25,279 --> 01:51:27,439
in the universal time. I mean they actually ended up

1911
01:51:27,479 --> 01:51:34,039
having a really good match. I mean, honestly, for me,

1912
01:51:35,600 --> 01:51:40,560
I'm probably going nineteen ninety six. Sean and Vader had

1913
01:51:40,600 --> 01:51:44,439
a really good match. The boiler Room Brawl is a

1914
01:51:44,640 --> 01:51:46,840
is a personal favorite of mine. I really enjoyed the

1915
01:51:46,840 --> 01:51:53,680
boiler Room Brawl match. So yeah, I may I may

1916
01:51:53,720 --> 01:51:57,039
actually go ninety six, and then twenty sixteen and then

1917
01:51:57,079 --> 01:51:57,840
two thousand.

1918
01:51:57,600 --> 01:52:00,439
Speaker 2: And six in the order.

1919
01:52:04,520 --> 01:52:10,920
Speaker 1: Says if aj Styles didn't retire, would he have gone

1920
01:52:10,960 --> 01:52:13,840
to TNA to face Frankie Kazarian for the TNA World

1921
01:52:13,880 --> 01:52:18,279
Championship or Leon Slater for the X Division Championship. I'm

1922
01:52:18,319 --> 01:52:20,800
gonna say no. I don't think WWE wanted him to,

1923
01:52:22,159 --> 01:52:24,960
so that probably would have ended up not happening. Also,

1924
01:52:25,000 --> 01:52:27,439
what is the most likely to happen if Stephanie Vicaire?

1925
01:52:29,319 --> 01:52:35,439
What is the most likely to happen if Stephanie Vicaire

1926
01:52:35,640 --> 01:52:41,880
at SummerSlam? If Stephanie Vicaire, what you left out the

1927
01:52:41,880 --> 01:52:49,079
most important word? If she appears at SummerSlam, if she

1928
01:52:49,239 --> 01:52:53,079
doesn't appear at Summer Slam, if she storms the ring,

1929
01:52:53,279 --> 01:52:56,439
if she blows up the building. What would she be

1930
01:52:56,560 --> 01:53:02,920
doing at SummerSlam Now in storyline Live Morgan and the Judgment,

1931
01:53:03,000 --> 01:53:06,840
they injured her and took her out. So I guess

1932
01:53:06,880 --> 01:53:09,399
maybe one way to answer this question is that if

1933
01:53:09,439 --> 01:53:12,800
she was gonna have a role at SummerSlam, I could

1934
01:53:12,880 --> 01:53:16,399
see it. I could see her playing a role in

1935
01:53:16,520 --> 01:53:19,000
helping EO win the championship. When the other members of

1936
01:53:19,000 --> 01:53:23,000
the Judgment they get involved, Roxane, Perez were Cal Rodriguez,

1937
01:53:23,000 --> 01:53:26,760
they try to help Live win. Here comes Stephanie. Stephanie

1938
01:53:26,760 --> 01:53:31,520
fights him off, Live has no help. EO wins the match,

1939
01:53:36,359 --> 01:53:42,159
super Pony. I watched Obsession last night, very well made movie.

1940
01:53:42,199 --> 01:53:44,960
Don't ever want to watch it again because of how

1941
01:53:45,000 --> 01:53:47,960
disturbing it was. Do you agree that Bear was the villain? Yes,

1942
01:53:48,039 --> 01:53:50,840
Bear was the villain even And it's wild to me

1943
01:53:50,920 --> 01:53:53,960
when I watched some of these reactions online because at

1944
01:53:54,000 --> 01:53:58,399
this point, just through watching the reactions, I probably have

1945
01:53:58,479 --> 01:54:03,359
seen Obsession like five times at this point, and most

1946
01:54:03,359 --> 01:54:07,319
people get it. I think most people get it fairly

1947
01:54:07,439 --> 01:54:09,720
early in the movie, or at least by the halfway point.

1948
01:54:09,880 --> 01:54:13,079
There's there's a certain scene in the movie, after the

1949
01:54:13,119 --> 01:54:18,319
restaurant scene where if you don't understand that he's the

1950
01:54:18,399 --> 01:54:23,720
villain by that point, then you're beyond help. He is

1951
01:54:23,760 --> 01:54:35,399
absolutely the uh the bad guy. I'm sorry, Navy forty

1952
01:54:35,399 --> 01:54:38,439
one eighty one creative. How much blood does the show need?

1953
01:54:38,560 --> 01:54:47,319
Triple h? Yes, except all of it was hardway. But again,

1954
01:54:47,359 --> 01:54:49,359
it's a good thing it's not on Netflix because if

1955
01:54:49,359 --> 01:54:53,640
it was, they're all gonna get blurred.

1956
01:54:54,399 --> 01:54:55,680
Speaker 2: They're all gonna get blurred.

1957
01:55:00,199 --> 01:55:04,600
Speaker 1: Anyway, Thank you guys for helping us reach not only

1958
01:55:05,199 --> 01:55:09,800
the main goal, but the bonus goal, which means that

1959
01:55:09,840 --> 01:55:13,079
you have unlocked two rounds of be the Booker, which

1960
01:55:13,079 --> 01:55:15,880
we are going to get to right now.

1961
01:55:16,840 --> 01:55:20,479
Speaker 3: Ladies and gentlemen, it is now time to be the.

1962
01:55:20,600 --> 01:55:24,399
Speaker 2: Booker right now.

1963
01:55:28,800 --> 01:55:30,600
Speaker 1: That is what we are going to do. But first,

1964
01:55:30,720 --> 01:55:34,720
we actually have a couple more super chats coming on

1965
01:55:34,840 --> 01:55:46,720
in It's our boy Javili again. Avelli says, sorry, I meant,

1966
01:55:46,720 --> 01:55:51,920
if Stephanie Vicaire wasn't injured or Bianca didn't get pregnant,

1967
01:55:52,359 --> 01:55:58,319
Rea versus Bianca or live versus Stephanie Vicaire, I mean

1968
01:55:58,640 --> 01:56:02,000
live against Stephanie would be more likely. I mean the

1969
01:56:02,000 --> 01:56:02,920
Bianca thing, who.

1970
01:56:02,760 --> 01:56:03,239
Speaker 2: The hell knows.

1971
01:56:03,239 --> 01:56:05,119
Speaker 1: I mean, she's been gone for so long, who knows

1972
01:56:05,119 --> 01:56:10,880
what she might be a heel by now, but definitely

1973
01:56:10,920 --> 01:56:13,439
live in Stephanie. Although I think they would have gone

1974
01:56:13,479 --> 01:56:14,319
back to it sooner.

1975
01:56:14,920 --> 01:56:15,239
Speaker 2: I don't know.

1976
01:56:15,239 --> 01:56:17,119
Speaker 1: I don't know about that being a SummerSlam. They probably

1977
01:56:17,119 --> 01:56:20,920
would have blown it off by now. And a super

1978
01:56:20,920 --> 01:56:29,000
pony Ian was also a giant douchebag. Yeah, I mean

1979
01:56:29,039 --> 01:56:31,279
there was a lot of uh, there's a lot of

1980
01:56:31,319 --> 01:56:38,920
cock blocking going on early on. Like take the hint, dude.

1981
01:56:37,680 --> 01:56:40,880
Speaker 2: Take the hint. All right, here we go.

1982
01:56:40,960 --> 01:56:44,119
Speaker 1: We have the gorillas of deaths that we just landed

1983
01:56:44,159 --> 01:56:46,920
on them the other night, and they are back again.

1984
01:56:47,760 --> 01:56:53,600
The MFTs, Tomatonga and Toga Loa are kicking us off here.

1985
01:56:58,000 --> 01:57:01,359
Tomatonga and Toga Loa gonna get in the ring with

1986
01:57:02,279 --> 01:57:09,119
Enzo Amore. What great timing on this, Enzo amorey and

1987
01:57:09,399 --> 01:57:14,640
Colin Cassidy Big Caz, who apparently has some earwax in

1988
01:57:14,720 --> 01:57:20,479
this photo that he is trying to remove casen Enzo,

1989
01:57:24,079 --> 01:57:31,640
I mean casen Enzo against g O d Yeah, that

1990
01:57:31,640 --> 01:57:34,840
that don't work for me. I don't think that would

1991
01:57:34,840 --> 01:57:38,840
be a great match at all. Enso and Tongaaloa sharing

1992
01:57:38,880 --> 01:57:47,920
the ring together that sounds like a fucking disaster, maybe

1993
01:57:48,000 --> 01:57:54,079
in a so bad it's good kind of way. Yeah,

1994
01:57:54,119 --> 01:57:57,560
I don't know about that one.

1995
01:57:57,840 --> 01:58:02,279
Speaker 2: Women's be the boy. Uh. I can hear it.

1996
01:58:02,359 --> 01:58:04,920
Speaker 1: I can hear it in my head without even saying

1997
01:58:05,000 --> 01:58:18,039
the words. I can hear bre mode, bre Mode, bre mode,

1998
01:58:18,399 --> 01:58:20,800
wiping it clean. We're gonna We're gonna do another women's

1999
01:58:20,800 --> 01:58:26,920
match here. I'm not in the mood for bre mode.

2000
01:58:30,159 --> 01:58:37,279
There we go, Kyrie saying the best current elbow drop

2001
01:58:37,359 --> 01:58:54,560
in the business. Kyrie saying against doctor Britt Baker d

2002
01:58:54,960 --> 01:59:04,640
m D, the former ae W Women's World Champion. Poor Kyrie,

2003
01:59:04,640 --> 01:59:08,439
what do you mean, poor Kyrie, she'd probably give Britt

2004
01:59:08,479 --> 01:59:14,960
the best match of her career. And in our first

2005
01:59:15,000 --> 01:59:18,039
main event, it's the Honky talk Man. I just somebody

2006
01:59:18,119 --> 01:59:21,159
just asked me my first live wrestling show, and this

2007
01:59:21,279 --> 01:59:22,920
man was in the main event that night. He was

2008
01:59:23,000 --> 01:59:30,279
defending the Intercontinental Championship. Listen to the Honky talk Man.

2009
01:59:30,279 --> 01:59:31,079
Pick that guitar.

2010
01:59:34,439 --> 01:59:34,640
Speaker 2: See.

2011
01:59:34,720 --> 01:59:37,039
Speaker 1: I think what you need is all of you need

2012
01:59:37,079 --> 01:59:39,279
a little honky honky honka honk.

2013
01:59:39,000 --> 01:59:40,079
Speaker 2: Of love in your life.

2014
01:59:40,600 --> 01:59:44,600
Speaker 1: That's what the song was, right, is a honk of

2015
01:59:44,640 --> 01:59:46,520
honk of honkey love. I think that's what it is.

2016
01:59:49,800 --> 01:59:57,960
You all need some honky love, the greatest inter comment'll

2017
01:59:58,000 --> 02:00:06,880
champion of all time, Hockey Talk Men against Bad Bunny.

2018
02:00:12,119 --> 02:00:14,920
Speaker 2: I had to think about that one.

2019
02:00:15,399 --> 02:00:18,079
Speaker 1: See, I don't think a wrestling match is what these

2020
02:00:18,079 --> 02:00:20,600
two should be having. I think that there should be

2021
02:00:20,640 --> 02:00:24,960
a concert. That's why I buzzed it. We're not booking

2022
02:00:25,000 --> 02:00:27,199
a concert though, we're booking a wrestling match. But I

2023
02:00:27,279 --> 02:00:30,079
think I see I would pay money to see the

2024
02:00:30,159 --> 02:00:34,000
Hockey Talk Men and Bad Bunny compete against each other

2025
02:00:34,960 --> 02:00:44,279
in a concert. That would be worth the price of admission.

2026
02:00:49,479 --> 02:00:58,039
You gotta admit that at least would be entertaining. All right,

2027
02:00:58,079 --> 02:01:00,800
Now we move on to round number two, and we

2028
02:01:00,920 --> 02:01:04,159
have stipulations to choose from, and we have a brawl

2029
02:01:04,319 --> 02:01:09,960
for all. Oh boy, there are just some people who

2030
02:01:09,960 --> 02:01:15,279
were not cut out for this. There are just some

2031
02:01:15,359 --> 02:01:18,119
people who are not meant for bral for all.

2032
02:01:19,199 --> 02:01:19,880
Speaker 2: We'll go with the men.

2033
02:01:25,800 --> 02:01:28,279
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what, though, this man can go in

2034
02:01:28,359 --> 02:01:32,760
the brawl for all. We have Vato Sting. I think

2035
02:01:32,800 --> 02:01:35,760
he's gonna be a tough one to beat. I mean,

2036
02:01:35,800 --> 02:01:38,640
look at this guy. Would you want to be in

2037
02:01:38,680 --> 02:01:40,199
the ring with him in a bral for All match.

2038
02:01:40,199 --> 02:01:44,079
I wouldn't Vato sting in his element. Man, he's in

2039
02:01:44,119 --> 02:01:48,960
the Bral for All. This is perfect, This is absolutely perfect.

2040
02:01:54,520 --> 02:01:59,239
Oh my god, Vato sting against Jacob Fatu did a

2041
02:01:59,359 --> 02:02:01,720
brawl for All match. I can't pick a winner in

2042
02:02:01,760 --> 02:02:06,399
this one. Holy shit, I can't pick a winner. This

2043
02:02:06,439 --> 02:02:12,079
could go either way. This is fifty to fifty. I mean,

2044
02:02:12,119 --> 02:02:14,800
this man's done hard time. It's kind of hard to

2045
02:02:14,880 --> 02:02:16,840
vote against Jacob in.

2046
02:02:16,840 --> 02:02:24,880
Speaker 2: A match like this. Wow, what a match, What a match.

2047
02:02:28,239 --> 02:02:40,760
Speaker 1: That's gonna be a hard one to be sting his toast. See,

2048
02:02:40,840 --> 02:02:45,159
I've rebounded with the creative here, we're making a comeback.

2049
02:02:46,399 --> 02:02:51,960
We go from that to a barroom brawl? Well, I mean,

2050
02:02:52,000 --> 02:02:54,560
I guess we'll go with the men again. I don't

2051
02:02:54,600 --> 02:02:56,960
know about the women in a barroom brawl. That probably

2052
02:02:57,000 --> 02:02:57,920
doesn't work too well.

2053
02:03:00,439 --> 02:03:01,479
Speaker 3: Barroom brawl.

2054
02:03:03,560 --> 02:03:08,159
Speaker 1: Who will be in the barroom brawl? Yoko Zuna. And

2055
02:03:08,199 --> 02:03:11,159
it looks from the photo here that this was him

2056
02:03:11,279 --> 02:03:15,760
near the peak of his size. He looks every bit

2057
02:03:15,800 --> 02:03:23,520
of six hundred plus pounds here. Yoko Zuna. You know

2058
02:03:23,640 --> 02:03:27,239
Yoko Zina was part of the Bone Street Crew, Undertaker's gang.

2059
02:03:27,279 --> 02:03:30,880
The BSk. He's probably been in a few barroom brawls

2060
02:03:30,880 --> 02:03:36,920
in his day. Yoko Zuna and the British bulldog Davy

2061
02:03:36,960 --> 02:03:41,039
boy Smith in a barroom brawl, and actually the two

2062
02:03:41,039 --> 02:03:43,279
of them were stable mats in Camp Cornett back in

2063
02:03:43,359 --> 02:03:51,960
ninety six. I would tap out instantly, probably.

2064
02:03:51,640 --> 02:03:56,479
Speaker 2: A wise move and in our main event.

2065
02:03:58,239 --> 02:04:00,840
Speaker 1: Unless we suddenly hit the second goal here, but this

2066
02:04:00,880 --> 02:04:03,399
is probably gonna be it, so we gotta make.

2067
02:04:03,239 --> 02:04:09,439
Speaker 3: It a good one. Oh God.

2068
02:04:10,039 --> 02:04:14,359
Speaker 1: Anarchy in the arena, and you know what that means?

2069
02:04:16,319 --> 02:04:19,880
Five on five. That's what we're gonna do. We're gonna

2070
02:04:19,920 --> 02:04:25,520
do five on five. Take out the pencils, keep track

2071
02:04:25,560 --> 02:04:37,119
of these teams, because here we go. It is anarchy

2072
02:04:37,159 --> 02:04:43,520
in the arena. Team number one, we're booking ten men.

2073
02:04:45,520 --> 02:04:52,079
Christian Cage, the former TNT champion. Okay, we got Christian.

2074
02:04:53,960 --> 02:04:57,319
You know, I should really type this up because I

2075
02:04:57,399 --> 02:05:02,640
will forget all of these names. We have Christian, we

2076
02:05:02,800 --> 02:05:07,439
have Knwjack. Oh boy, this this team is starting to

2077
02:05:07,479 --> 02:05:12,199
heat up here in a major way. Christian NW Jack.

2078
02:05:13,039 --> 02:05:20,640
Adam Pierce says that be the booker. Oh no, oh,

2079
02:05:20,800 --> 02:05:32,039
Adam Pierce says that be the booker is hereby suspended.

2080
02:05:33,600 --> 02:05:39,880
Speaker 2: How could you? How could you?

2081
02:05:44,119 --> 02:05:49,159
Speaker 1: Well, I'm gonna make I'm gonna make an executive decision here. Unfortunately,

2082
02:05:49,760 --> 02:05:54,119
anarchy in the arena is gone. We have to wipe

2083
02:05:54,159 --> 02:05:58,239
away anarchy in the arena. But because because this was

2084
02:05:58,279 --> 02:06:05,479
the bonus round, you get a redo, we can't go

2085
02:06:05,560 --> 02:06:09,520
out like that. We do lose the match though. Unfortunately

2086
02:06:09,560 --> 02:06:12,760
we lose the match. So Adam Pierce was quite the

2087
02:06:12,800 --> 02:06:15,239
buzzkill there. I was looking forward to seeing who was

2088
02:06:15,279 --> 02:06:17,319
going to be teaming with Christian and Nwjack. I was

2089
02:06:17,319 --> 02:06:24,199
starting to get excited about these teams. Yeah, he screws

2090
02:06:24,239 --> 02:06:29,479
over Sammy and now he screws over be the booker. Well,

2091
02:06:29,520 --> 02:06:31,880
who knows, Maybe we'll end up doing a better match.

2092
02:06:34,560 --> 02:06:43,119
A ladder match. A ladder match, okay, very simple, very basic,

2093
02:06:44,079 --> 02:06:49,520
but works for me. How about we up the ante?

2094
02:06:49,840 --> 02:06:53,039
How about we have an intergender ladder match? How about that?

2095
02:06:56,359 --> 02:07:02,520
I'm gonna make this interesting. Here, an intergender ladder match

2096
02:07:02,640 --> 02:07:15,199
with China humh Okay, she is a former Intercontinental champion.

2097
02:07:19,880 --> 02:07:26,319
China against CM Punk in a ladder match.

2098
02:07:28,279 --> 02:07:28,920
Speaker 2: Who you got?

2099
02:07:31,239 --> 02:07:34,199
Speaker 1: I think China might throw a heavier punch than Punk does.

2100
02:07:37,079 --> 02:07:41,439
That's a very interesting main event. Actually Punk and China

2101
02:07:41,439 --> 02:07:48,000
in a ladder match. See we redeemed ourselves like I

2102
02:07:48,079 --> 02:07:53,000
knew we would. Adam Pierce may take away the anarchy

2103
02:07:53,039 --> 02:07:54,880
in the Arita, but he cannot take away our fun.

2104
02:07:57,239 --> 02:08:04,600
Fuck you, Adam Pierce. China loses. Okay, I gotta go

2105
02:08:04,680 --> 02:08:12,000
with Punk on this one. I don't know. It's a

2106
02:08:12,039 --> 02:08:18,159
coin flip. Thank you guys for a fun stream. Hope

2107
02:08:18,159 --> 02:08:21,720
you enjoyed. It covered all of the Saturday Night's main event.

2108
02:08:21,800 --> 02:08:24,279
Show had a couple of rounds of be the Booker

2109
02:08:25,039 --> 02:08:27,880
that I think, for the most part, went well, even

2110
02:08:27,920 --> 02:08:32,239
though we were nearly screwed by the GM there at

2111
02:08:32,239 --> 02:08:36,800
the end. Tomorrow, less than twenty four hours, maybe about

2112
02:08:36,800 --> 02:08:39,880
twenty four hours a brand new episode of The sound Off,

2113
02:08:40,039 --> 02:08:45,560
including my review of the season seven Episode three finale.

2114
02:08:45,720 --> 02:08:50,000
It was a three parter Jeff Jarrett and the Battle

2115
02:08:50,000 --> 02:08:54,920
for TNA Wrestling and Part three. They got into some

2116
02:08:55,560 --> 02:09:01,439
very very juicy bits of TNA history, for example, the

2117
02:09:01,479 --> 02:09:05,239
Monday Night massacre back in twenty ten, Jeff Hardy, a

2118
02:09:05,359 --> 02:09:12,119
victory Road in twenty eleven, Hulk Hogan's famous departure from TNA,

2119
02:09:12,680 --> 02:09:15,640
and a lot more. We're going to cover all of

2120
02:09:15,640 --> 02:09:19,720
that tomorrow and we'll talk all the news of the week.

2121
02:09:19,840 --> 02:09:21,319
It is a lot of it, so I hope you'll

2122
02:09:21,359 --> 02:09:23,199
tune into the podcast. Try to get us up to

2123
02:09:23,279 --> 02:09:26,119
number one. Maybe we hit number one a few weeks ago.

2124
02:09:26,159 --> 02:09:27,760
Maybe we could do it again this weekend. I can't

2125
02:09:27,760 --> 02:09:30,439
do it without you, though, super Pony says, did you

2126
02:09:30,439 --> 02:09:33,399
see Cody punk backstage video they posted on social media?

2127
02:09:33,439 --> 02:09:35,239
Cody was being very heel. How could I see it?

2128
02:09:35,239 --> 02:09:37,920
I'm on the air with you. No, I did not

2129
02:09:38,039 --> 02:09:41,039
see it, but I sure hope it's a sign of

2130
02:09:41,039 --> 02:09:45,319
things to come, because you give me the book. Cody's

2131
02:09:45,359 --> 02:09:49,079
going heel not see him punk. It's a lot more

2132
02:09:49,079 --> 02:09:54,720
interesting to me if Cody goes here. So anyway, so

2133
02:09:54,800 --> 02:09:57,439
that's tomorrow. If you missed a SmackDown recap, we had

2134
02:09:57,439 --> 02:09:59,279
fun with that last night too, go back and check

2135
02:09:59,359 --> 02:10:02,960
that out and all the other content here on the channel.

2136
02:10:03,520 --> 02:10:05,119
And that's all I got for you. Thank you for

2137
02:10:05,159 --> 02:10:06,920

2138
02:10:06,920 --> 02:10:08,920
to drop a super thanks in the comments, you could

2139
