1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:03,399
Speaker 1: Oh, we knew it. We knew it. We knew it.

2
00:00:03,799 --> 00:00:07,759
We knew it. We knew it. We knew it. As

3
00:00:07,839 --> 00:00:10,199
soon as they announced that Sammy's Ain was going to

4
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:14,359
be defending the WWE Championship on Monday on a show

5
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:16,679
that he really had no business putting the title on

6
00:00:16,719 --> 00:00:21,079
the line anyway, because he's a SmackDown star. But as

7
00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:23,359
soon as they announced this match on SmackDown, as soon

8
00:00:23,359 --> 00:00:27,039
as we realized that Raw was in Chicago this week,

9
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:32,159
you knew something was going to happen. Now, I didn't

10
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:34,039
know it was going to go down exactly the way

11
00:00:34,039 --> 00:00:37,560
that it did, But I said this on the sound

12
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:39,880
of and I think most people probably had that feeling

13
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:43,880
in their stummach and the pit of their stomach if

14
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:48,119
they were a Sammy's Ain fan, that this championship run

15
00:00:48,719 --> 00:00:53,200
was not going to last very long. Enjoy it while

16
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:56,960
you can. Sammy's Ain's taking pictures of himself eating pizza

17
00:00:57,039 --> 00:01:00,000
with the title sitting on the table, he's drinking his coffee,

18
00:01:00,119 --> 00:01:05,200
he's riding around town and his convertible with the championship

19
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:09,400
sitting next to him. It's as if he knew, I

20
00:01:09,519 --> 00:01:14,319
need to enjoy life while I still can because it

21
00:01:14,359 --> 00:01:18,400
will only be a fleeting moment before this championship ends

22
00:01:18,439 --> 00:01:24,439
up on somebody else. Nine days ago, Sammy Zayin won

23
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:28,879
the WWE Championship and he won it in Riod that

24
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:31,680
he had contested for the title earlier this year in

25
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:35,280
Saudi Arabia and he lost, so he went into Saudi

26
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:38,239
a second time and he won. For the first time

27
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:40,640
in his career. He won a world championship here on

28
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:44,079
the main roster. And I had people saying, well, you know,

29
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:45,760
the only reason they put the belt on him was

30
00:01:45,799 --> 00:01:49,120
because they were in Saudi, and I said, well, I mean,

31
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:51,480
that's not the only reason they put the belt on him,

32
00:01:51,519 --> 00:01:53,879
but I'm sure they looked at where they were going

33
00:01:53,959 --> 00:01:55,120
to be and they said, hey, if we're going to

34
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:58,159
do this right, this is as good a time and

35
00:01:58,159 --> 00:01:59,920
as good a place as ever, because you know the

36
00:02:00,079 --> 00:02:02,159
kind of response he's gonna get. And he won the

37
00:02:02,239 --> 00:02:04,560
championship and everybody there went crazy, and it was this

38
00:02:04,599 --> 00:02:08,840
great moment for him. And now tonight Raw was in

39
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:14,000
Chicago and there's another superstar who happens to be from Chicago.

40
00:02:14,479 --> 00:02:17,599
All of a sudden, WWE is about these great hometown moments.

41
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:21,759
Maybe This bodes well for Chad Gable in Minneapolis at

42
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:26,919
summerslim Let's hope. But they made the match. It was

43
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:31,599
gonna be Sammy's Ain and Cody Rhoades for the WWE title.

44
00:02:32,039 --> 00:02:35,039
We got a bait and switch. We did not get

45
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,599
Cody Rhodes wrestling Sammy's Ain in the main event of

46
00:02:37,599 --> 00:02:41,199
tonight's show like we were supposed to, because Gunther showed

47
00:02:41,319 --> 00:02:43,280
up and he took out Cody Roads at the very

48
00:02:43,319 --> 00:02:45,400
beginning of the show. He slammed a car door on

49
00:02:45,439 --> 00:02:49,560
his head and Cody had blood coming down part of

50
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:53,560
his face. This was a show long storyline tonight. Cody

51
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:57,319
ended up not being medically cleared, and so all of

52
00:02:57,319 --> 00:02:59,919
a sudden we had an opening in the main event.

53
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:03,080
And wouldn't you know if you think back to a

54
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:05,840
promo that CM punk had with Cody Roads after Wrestle

55
00:03:05,879 --> 00:03:09,080
many of this year, what was it again? Hmm? What

56
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:11,360
was it that CM punk said to Cody Rhods in

57
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:16,479
that promo? You never know when a championship opportunity may

58
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:20,560
fall out of the sky, and many of us were thinking, Hm,

59
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,280
money in the bank. What does this mean? Right? Obviously

60
00:03:23,319 --> 00:03:27,120
it's a foreshadowing of something yet to come. We just

61
00:03:27,159 --> 00:03:30,000
didn't know exactly what it was. I had no idea

62
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:31,599
they were going to go with my idea for the

63
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,280
Kick of the Ring Finals. I wasn't too far off,

64
00:03:34,319 --> 00:03:37,199
as it turned out, when I was talking about bouncing

65
00:03:37,199 --> 00:03:39,360
Obafemi or bouncing this person out of the King of

66
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:41,199
the Ring and then CM Punk would show up as

67
00:03:41,199 --> 00:03:43,759
a surprise and win the entire tournament so he could

68
00:03:43,759 --> 00:03:47,919
go to SummerSlam and he could challenge for the WWE Championship.

69
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,639
I was only off by about a week. They went

70
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:52,960
with the fucking idea. I was only off by a week.

71
00:03:54,599 --> 00:03:57,919
Cody Rhads gets taken out of the main event. We

72
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:01,759
end up with Cmpunk just coming back on this show,

73
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,599
wrestling in the main event of this show. And you

74
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:06,680
got to remember, the last time we saw cm Punk

75
00:04:06,719 --> 00:04:09,639
in a wrestling match, he was defending the World Heavyweight

76
00:04:09,719 --> 00:04:12,639
Championship in the main event of WrestleMania as a raw star,

77
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:16,079
And so the very next time we see cm Punk

78
00:04:16,079 --> 00:04:19,800
in a wrestling ring, he's challenging for the WWE Championship,

79
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:27,439
which effectively, now that he's won it spoiler, we have

80
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:31,279
a new WWE champion that now officially puts him on SmackDown.

81
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:35,240
So this was their way of basically getting him off

82
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:38,319
of Raw and making him the new face of Friday Nights,

83
00:04:39,639 --> 00:04:41,959
unless you want to say QB one and QB two

84
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:46,160
with him and Cody Rhoads. I can't even before I

85
00:04:46,199 --> 00:04:49,279
even talk about Sammy and everything that happened on this

86
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:51,439
show and everything that happened in the main event tonight,

87
00:04:53,079 --> 00:04:57,000
I can't even sit here and really be too mad

88
00:04:57,879 --> 00:05:00,240
because look at the main event that we got on

89
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:05,279
this show. How fucking great was that main event tonight?

90
00:05:07,399 --> 00:05:09,839
I mean, I can't go any further without putting that

91
00:05:09,879 --> 00:05:12,160
match over that. This is the kind of Raw main

92
00:05:12,199 --> 00:05:17,240
event that I am starved for. Can I just say

93
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:20,199
that right off the bat, regardless of how I or

94
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,319
you or anybody else feels about the decision to do

95
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:25,720
a title change tonight, I feel like we are in

96
00:05:25,759 --> 00:05:28,399
an error right now of WWE Television, and this goes

97
00:05:28,439 --> 00:05:32,519
for Raw and SmackDown, where so many times, so many weeks,

98
00:05:32,519 --> 00:05:34,199
I come on here and I talk about the show

99
00:05:34,199 --> 00:05:36,959
and I'm like, either it was just a straight up

100
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:40,720
bad show, or it was a good show, or it

101
00:05:40,759 --> 00:05:44,439
was a show, and it just feels like rarely does

102
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,560
anything of any great significance actually happen. Rarely do you

103
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:52,000
see a crowd as loud and electric as this crowd

104
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:55,399
was in Chicago. And I've said before I think Chicago

105
00:05:55,519 --> 00:05:59,079
is the greatest wrestling city in the world, just consistently

106
00:05:59,199 --> 00:06:01,839
over the years. I say that as a New Yorker,

107
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:06,600
I think Chicago is the best wrestling crowd. Obviously, CM

108
00:06:06,639 --> 00:06:10,399
Punk is beloved because he's, you know, Chicago made, Chicago born,

109
00:06:10,519 --> 00:06:13,240
Chicago Bread. This was his big return. He was gonna

110
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:15,879
get a big reaction regardless. But from the moment he

111
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,720
got into that ring and the bell rang and that

112
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:23,319
main event started, the atmosphere in that building it felt

113
00:06:23,319 --> 00:06:27,120
like a pay per view main event. And I can't

114
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,920
remember the last time I watched a Monday Night Raw

115
00:06:30,079 --> 00:06:33,279
and saw a match that had that kind of atmosphere

116
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:35,160
for a main event. I wish we could get that

117
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:38,720
more often. I wish you could just bottle it up

118
00:06:39,199 --> 00:06:41,000
and they could take it with them from city to

119
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:46,560
city every Monday Night. They had a just an excellent

120
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:51,480
main event. When it was over, it was the predictable outcome,

121
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:53,439
the moment seem Punk walk down to the ring. I

122
00:06:53,439 --> 00:06:55,680
even pointed out when the match began, you could see

123
00:06:55,680 --> 00:07:00,879
the Pyro laying on the stage in preparation for something

124
00:07:00,959 --> 00:07:02,920
that was going to happen at the end of this show.

125
00:07:03,079 --> 00:07:04,959
And I don't think they were gonna give Cody Rhoades

126
00:07:04,959 --> 00:07:07,439
his full entrance if he was to come out at

127
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:10,360
some point during this main event, So that kind of

128
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:12,879
gave it away as far as what the outcome of

129
00:07:12,879 --> 00:07:18,079
the main event was gonna be. Cmpunk is once again

130
00:07:19,199 --> 00:07:23,439
a world champion here in WWE, almost fifteen years to

131
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:27,920
the day that he won his first WWE championship from

132
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,680
John Cena at Money in the Bank. I believe it

133
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:34,439
would have been in that building in Chicago. Here we

134
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:37,920
are in twenty twenty six and Punk. It's like bar hopping,

135
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:40,279
right and Punk a straight edge that he doesn't even drink.

136
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:43,759
You're just you're hopping from one bar to the next. Right.

137
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,399
A few months ago, it was the World Heavyweight Championship.

138
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:50,959
Now he's got the WWE title. Does CM Punk need

139
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:55,040
the WWE Championship, No, he doesn't. He didn't need the

140
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:58,279
World Heavyweight Championship, but he ended up having what I

141
00:07:58,279 --> 00:08:00,720
thought was a strong run with it heading into WrestleMania.

142
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:03,439
So now they put the title on him. Why did

143
00:08:03,439 --> 00:08:06,639
they do this? They did it because they have Summer

144
00:08:06,639 --> 00:08:10,319
Slam coming up at US Bank Stadium and they are

145
00:08:10,519 --> 00:08:14,639
lagging behind what they were doing for last year Summer Slam.

146
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:17,000
I pointed this out of the podcast yesterday. Now it's

147
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:20,560
two different stadiums. This one's a little bit smaller. But

148
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:24,360
when SummerSlam rolled around a year ago, they had over

149
00:08:24,399 --> 00:08:27,319
fifty thousand tickets sold for Night one and about sixty

150
00:08:27,399 --> 00:08:30,800
thousand for Night two, and at last count, they were

151
00:08:30,839 --> 00:08:34,240
in the mid twenties for each night of SummerSlam. This year,

152
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:37,039
we're less than a month out. It's a two night

153
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:40,600
stadium show. WWE wants to go with what they feel

154
00:08:40,639 --> 00:08:43,600
are going to be the biggest possible attractions on that show,

155
00:08:43,639 --> 00:08:46,200
the biggest main events that they could do. We got

156
00:08:46,279 --> 00:08:49,840
Roman reigns in seth Rollins going one on one. It's

157
00:08:49,879 --> 00:08:52,639
twenty twenty six. We still have Roman reigns in seth

158
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:56,440
Rawlins wrestling in the main event. That's ridiculous. We have

159
00:08:56,519 --> 00:09:00,519
CM punk in main events. Kind of ridiculous, right, you

160
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:03,600
gotta admit. And I know a lot of people are

161
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:05,559
gonna look at this and go, man, why can't we get.

162
00:09:05,639 --> 00:09:07,639
We gotta get something new. We got to get somebody

163
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:09,799
younger in there. I will point out to you, by

164
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,360
the way, Okay, you can't. You can't talk about age

165
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:15,000
in this case. Sammy' z aye's forty one years old. Okay,

166
00:09:15,039 --> 00:09:18,919
everybody's talking about La Knight. La Knight's what forty three?

167
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:22,279
It's less a matter of age and more a matter

168
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:25,159
of people being sick and tired of the same shit

169
00:09:25,799 --> 00:09:29,759
over and over and over again. It's like WWE is

170
00:09:29,799 --> 00:09:34,279
allergic to giving new people and new faces opportunities to

171
00:09:34,519 --> 00:09:37,960
hold the title or be in these main events. So

172
00:09:38,039 --> 00:09:40,240
we get Roman Reigns, and we get Seth Rollins, and

173
00:09:40,279 --> 00:09:42,440
we get cmpunk, and we get Cody Rhodes and we

174
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:45,840
get brock lesnar Rinse repeat, right. It's hard to break

175
00:09:45,879 --> 00:09:50,679
the cycle. This, this idea of Cody fatigue, that people

176
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:52,720
are just so sick and tired of people calling him.

177
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:55,000
They're calling him the Golden Boy now on television they've

178
00:09:55,039 --> 00:09:57,759
actually turned it into a fucking nickname on TV, always

179
00:09:57,799 --> 00:09:59,960
the Golden Boy. Right, But that's how a lot of

180
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:03,279
fans field they're sick and tired of Cody Rhads. They

181
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:06,200
were very happy to see Cody Rhoads lose the championship

182
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:08,639
at Night of Champions. Maybe not so happy about Sammy

183
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:11,279
zan winning the belt because there was a lot of

184
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:16,559
hate coming Sammy's way for winning that belt. But people

185
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:19,440
are looking for something new, They're looking for something different

186
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:22,879
in the main events scene. This is a spot that

187
00:10:22,919 --> 00:10:26,279
Sammy's Ain had never been in before. Sammy z Ain

188
00:10:26,399 --> 00:10:28,240
has been with this company at least in terms of

189
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:32,200
being on the main roster for a decade, and in

190
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:34,440
that time, he had never been a world champion before,

191
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:36,200
and at times it felt like maybe it was never

192
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:39,600
gonna happen. Right, So, even though he's been around forever,

193
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:43,960
him winning the World Championship was something different, and there

194
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:45,960
were a lot of people who embraced it, and at

195
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:48,000
the same time they also felt really happy for him

196
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:50,240
because here's a guy who worked his ass off, had

197
00:10:50,279 --> 00:10:54,879
great matches, was always very reliable, very entertaining in whatever

198
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:57,919
role they would put him in. And so finally he

199
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,000
had his moment of glory. Right, he had his moments

200
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,960
than the Sun. And I never expected it to be

201
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:04,960
a long I mean, I told you guys, man, I said,

202
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:08,120
don't expect anything long. By summer, Slim he's going to

203
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:11,440
drop the belt if he even makes it to summer. Slim.

204
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:13,840
I was thinking maybe Saturday Night's main event. He may

205
00:11:13,879 --> 00:11:16,840
not make it beyond Madison Square Garden. I had no

206
00:11:16,919 --> 00:11:18,440
idea that they were going to take the belt off

207
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:20,960
of him nine days later. Even I have to sit

208
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,720
here and look at that, and I go, you couldn't

209
00:11:23,759 --> 00:11:29,480
give the guy one successful title defense, not one. He

210
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:33,440
did not get one successful title defense. And yet there

211
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:38,679
have been worse. Talk to raymis Stereo. Raymisterio knows what

212
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:41,320
it's like to go from the highest of highs an

213
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:44,039
hour one, to go to the lowest of lows an

214
00:11:44,039 --> 00:11:47,360
hour two. Okay, it could have been worse. It's kind

215
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:50,000
of hard to believe, but it could have been worse.

216
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:52,440
But I think a lot of the anger that you're

217
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:55,320
going to see from people, it's not even a matter

218
00:11:55,399 --> 00:11:58,879
of oh, Sammy Zain. It's a matter of we're tired

219
00:11:58,879 --> 00:12:01,919
of Cody Roads. We're tired of the same old, same old,

220
00:12:02,159 --> 00:12:04,360
And it was nice to just get the belt onto

221
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:08,159
somebody else and let's give somebody else an opportunity to

222
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:11,519
run with it and see where it goes. And they

223
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:18,480
never even thought to extend it out until SummerSlam, because

224
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:21,879
for SummerSlam they want the biggest possible match they can do,

225
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:25,480
which is very clearly going to be CM Punk and

226
00:12:25,519 --> 00:12:29,240
Cody Roads. Although I would argue there is no reason

227
00:12:29,279 --> 00:12:31,399
that Sammy's ain should not be a part of that match.

228
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:36,480
My hope coming into this show tonight was that when

229
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:40,720
it was over, somehow, even though I wasn't I wasn't

230
00:12:40,759 --> 00:12:43,879
expecting it, But my hope was that somehow Sammy Zin

231
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:47,919
could could squeak by and then maybe we get a

232
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:50,440
triple threat match. Punk's gonna come back. You get Punk,

233
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:53,080
you get Cody, you get Sammy triple threat at SummerSlam.

234
00:12:53,159 --> 00:12:55,559
Why not you still get Cody and Punk in the

235
00:12:55,639 --> 00:13:00,919
ring together. They can still do that. Cody Roads is

236
00:13:00,919 --> 00:13:03,639
gonna end up being in a championship match at SummerSlam,

237
00:13:04,279 --> 00:13:07,519
and he wants his rematch, Well, then why would Sammy's

238
00:13:07,519 --> 00:13:10,759
ain not deserve a rematch? Now? Knowing WWE, They'll just

239
00:13:10,799 --> 00:13:13,240
have Cody against Sammy in a non title match on

240
00:13:13,399 --> 00:13:15,759
television in a few weeks and Cody w'll fucking beat

241
00:13:15,799 --> 00:13:18,320
him and that'll be the end of it. As if

242
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:20,960
this isn't bad enough, they'll shovel some more dirt on

243
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:23,879
the corpse and they'll do the singles match they want

244
00:13:23,879 --> 00:13:26,759
to do at SummerSlam. But honestly, if you just look

245
00:13:26,759 --> 00:13:30,639
at it, logically, both men deserve a rematch. It should

246
00:13:30,639 --> 00:13:33,279
be a triple threat. That's the only way that Sammy's

247
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:36,240
Ain is gonna get on this Summer Slam card unless

248
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:39,440
Johnny Gargano stops planking and he rises from the dead

249
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:42,000
and they want to do fucking Sammy's Ain and Johnny Gargano,

250
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:44,399
you fucking I mean, it's a fucking main event match. Okay,

251
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:47,600
they're not doing that at Summer Slim. The only way

252
00:13:48,039 --> 00:13:50,720
Sammy's Ain gets on that Summer Slam card at this

253
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:54,240
point is if they turn this into a triple threat scenario.

254
00:13:54,519 --> 00:13:57,039
Otherwise we are looking at a very real possibility that

255
00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:00,120
he doesn't even make SummerSlam this year, which would be

256
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:02,480
a huge slap in the face because he's been the

257
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:04,279
best part of that Friday night show now for a

258
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:08,240
few months. So you really want to kick the guy

259
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:11,240
in the dick, that's how you do it. So I

260
00:14:11,279 --> 00:14:13,320
get it. I get there's gonna be people very upset.

261
00:14:13,799 --> 00:14:18,240
I said coming into this. I'm torn. I'm torn because

262
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:21,279
On the one hand, I fucking hate that they took

263
00:14:21,279 --> 00:14:25,279
this championship off Sammy in nine days. Yes, there have

264
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:28,600
been worse. You could have given him a little more time.

265
00:14:28,639 --> 00:14:30,440
There was no reason not to put the belt on

266
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:32,240
him and at least let him run with it and

267
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:35,200
get one or two defenses under his belt. There was

268
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:38,639
no reason for it, So I hated the idea of

269
00:14:38,799 --> 00:14:41,320
him losing the championship this soon. On the other hand,

270
00:14:42,759 --> 00:14:44,440
the fact that they want to do Cody Rhades and

271
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:47,000
see him punkin Summer Slam, I get it. It's one

272
00:14:47,039 --> 00:14:48,759
of the biggest matches that they could do. It's a

273
00:14:48,799 --> 00:14:51,639
match I want to see. I was hoping we would

274
00:14:51,639 --> 00:14:55,320
get it at WrestleMania this year. Didn't pan out that way.

275
00:14:55,399 --> 00:14:57,759
If that's the match they're going to do in Minneapolis,

276
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:01,799
I'm cool with it. It's a big match, But I still

277
00:15:01,799 --> 00:15:04,360
feel like Samy needs to be worked into that match.

278
00:15:05,679 --> 00:15:07,879
Story Wise, it would not be very hard at all

279
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:11,360
to get him involved instead of just sort of shunning

280
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:13,679
him to the side. And that's that's my hope now

281
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:17,080
coming out of this, is that he's not just forgotten about. Okay,

282
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:18,600
you know, we gave him his little run we gave

283
00:15:18,639 --> 00:15:22,840
him his token title run, so everybody in Riod can celebrate,

284
00:15:23,159 --> 00:15:25,279
and all the people on the internet who love Samy's

285
00:15:25,279 --> 00:15:28,200
ay and they could rejoice. He got his moment, and

286
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:31,360
now his moment is over, you know, off to the side.

287
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:35,600
I hope that's not what happens here. Even though I

288
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:38,799
will tell you this was it for sammy's Ain, his

289
00:15:38,919 --> 00:15:41,759
WWE champion, because he ain't winning his belt back again

290
00:15:43,039 --> 00:15:46,080
that much. I will tell you I don't believe for

291
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:48,080
a second that samy's Ain is getting his belt back.

292
00:15:49,759 --> 00:15:53,240
So it sucks that the run came to an end

293
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:56,480
as quickly as it did if it was going to

294
00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:59,679
end tonight though he went out with a bang, because,

295
00:15:59,759 --> 00:16:01,840
like I said, that match, I thought it was just

296
00:16:01,879 --> 00:16:04,960
an excellent main event. There are worse ways that that

297
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:07,960
run could have ended, in terms of a roll up

298
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:11,679
something in thirty seconds, some kind of bullshit finish right,

299
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:15,320
some overbooked mess. These two guys went out there in

300
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:17,679
the main event tonight. They had a fucking great wrestling match.

301
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:20,480
It's the kind of match that if you're a performer,

302
00:16:20,519 --> 00:16:23,720
I would imagine that you live for this. You live

303
00:16:23,759 --> 00:16:26,720
for this. So at least they were able to go

304
00:16:26,799 --> 00:16:30,879
out there and have a great match, one of the best, frankly,

305
00:16:30,919 --> 00:16:33,159
if not best TV matches all year. Maybe not the best,

306
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:36,279
but one of the best television matches of the year.

307
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:43,480
But I'm torn because they did him dirty tonight. At

308
00:16:43,519 --> 00:16:46,000
the end of the day, they did Samby's Ain't dirty,

309
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:49,440
and I knew it going in. I was hoping, though,

310
00:16:49,919 --> 00:16:52,919
you know, I was holding out hope. Now here we

311
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:55,399
are we have another summer of punk. I don't know

312
00:16:55,399 --> 00:16:57,399
how many this is. This is what the third one now,

313
00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:00,799
I guess maybe fourth. We had the one in Ring

314
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:03,399
of Honor many years ago, we had the one in

315
00:17:03,559 --> 00:17:08,240
WWE in twenty eleven, we had one kind of I

316
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:12,000
guess in aaw this this would be one number four.

317
00:17:12,079 --> 00:17:14,160
I don't know, but they mentioned that I think on

318
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:19,400
commentary that we have another summer of punk here. I

319
00:17:19,519 --> 00:17:23,480
just think, you know, in terms of Sammy's ain Sammy

320
00:17:23,559 --> 00:17:26,599
is one of those guys where if you, you know,

321
00:17:27,599 --> 00:17:29,720
keep the belt on him for a little while longer

322
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:33,480
and have him defended against a few different people, a

323
00:17:33,519 --> 00:17:35,160
lot of people would have expected that he was going

324
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:37,599
to drop it quickly. I think it was also a

325
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:40,880
missed opportunity to have some drama, you know in some

326
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:43,200
of these title matches where there would have been an

327
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:46,559
expectation going in that he could lose this championship at

328
00:17:46,559 --> 00:17:50,319
any given moment, on any given night, and you've also

329
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:53,319
taken that away now that could have made for some fun,

330
00:17:53,599 --> 00:17:56,960
you know, title defenses on TV, you know, maybe between

331
00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:59,799
now and SummerSlam. So as I think about this now

332
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:04,240
my head, that's also something else that we that we

333
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:07,440
miss out on. CM Punk being back obviously is a

334
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:09,240
big feather in their cap. It's a big name for

335
00:18:09,279 --> 00:18:12,519
them to get back. There are other people right now,

336
00:18:12,559 --> 00:18:15,359
including your world heavyweight champion on Raw who can't be

337
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:18,960
bothered to wrestle on TV. Roman Reigns has his belt,

338
00:18:20,039 --> 00:18:24,000
he comes out on television, he wants people to acknowledge him,

339
00:18:24,559 --> 00:18:27,599
and he defends on some of the pls and that's

340
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:30,519
the best you're going to get at this point. With Punk,

341
00:18:30,599 --> 00:18:32,799
I could see him defending the championship here and there

342
00:18:32,799 --> 00:18:35,480
on television, having some TV title defenses, So that could

343
00:18:35,519 --> 00:18:39,079
be good. SmackDown certainly could use the boost. Look, if

344
00:18:39,079 --> 00:18:42,319
you're talking in terms of sheer star power, Cmpunk gives

345
00:18:42,319 --> 00:18:44,519
SmackDown a boost that Sammy z Ain does not give

346
00:18:44,519 --> 00:18:47,720
that show because Punk is a bigger star than sammy'se Ain.

347
00:18:47,839 --> 00:18:51,039
Is Punk going to SmackDown is the right move. It's

348
00:18:51,039 --> 00:18:54,440
going to inject some new life into this show. I'm

349
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:58,000
happy that they've made that move, and the match with

350
00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:00,920
Cody would seem to be the play. And by the way,

351
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:04,880
whatever the title matches at SummerSlam, it will involve Cody.

352
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:08,440
Cody should not win the championship back because we have

353
00:19:08,519 --> 00:19:13,440
now seen the title change hands twice recently, and I'm

354
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:16,680
okay with that. I'm not one of these people that's like, oh,

355
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:18,559
why are you playing hot potato with the bet? Now?

356
00:19:18,559 --> 00:19:20,839
You know what, hot potato with the WWE title would

357
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:23,880
be changing at three, four or five times in the

358
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:26,480
span of a few months. We're not there yet, but

359
00:19:26,759 --> 00:19:30,200
I'm sorry, Like, these are shows that for the longest

360
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:32,920
time have been a fucking bore. So you know what,

361
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:34,559
if they want to spice it up a little bit

362
00:19:34,599 --> 00:19:36,200
and have a title change here and there, I'm not

363
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:39,279
opposed to that, but I also don't want them to

364
00:19:39,319 --> 00:19:41,160
go overboard with it. And like we go to Summer

365
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:43,279
Slam and Punk defends the title and Cody gets the

366
00:19:43,319 --> 00:19:45,480
belt back we can't be doing that. You took the

367
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:48,519
belt off Cody, keep it off of him. What they

368
00:19:48,519 --> 00:19:51,240
did was they wanted to use Sammy as a transitional

369
00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:53,680
champion to get the belt on Punk without Punk beating

370
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:57,599
Cody for it. Sammy was the conduit for that. He

371
00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:00,839
is the definition of a transitional champion. That is what

372
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:03,640
he will go down in history. But now that Punk

373
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:05,160
has the belt, you got to keep it on him

374
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:07,440
for a while. I don't want to see Cody Roads

375
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:09,680
with his belt back at Summer Slam. I'm willing to

376
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:12,039
bettle out of you have no desire. They have no

377
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:14,119
appetite to see Cody Rose. Just get the belt back

378
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:15,960
at Summer Slim to me, if that's where we end

379
00:20:16,039 --> 00:20:17,240
up at the end of all this, then what the

380
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:20,759
fuck was the point of any of this? What would

381
00:20:20,799 --> 00:20:23,680
the fucking point of any of this be if at

382
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:26,200
the end of Summer Slam Cody Roads is standing there

383
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:29,160
with the WWE title. So this is going to be

384
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:32,559
a very interesting period. Now, if they can control themselves

385
00:20:32,599 --> 00:20:35,240
and not have a belt on Cody, what do they

386
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:37,799
do with him when he's not the champion? Are they

387
00:20:37,839 --> 00:20:39,880
more open to the idea all of a sudden of

388
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:44,799
a Cody roads Heel turn. Certainly feel like we're closer

389
00:20:44,839 --> 00:20:47,920
to it now than we were six months ago, where would,

390
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:52,640
in my mind, would have been completely stupid. Now can't

391
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:55,119
discount the possibility that maybe we could finally build to

392
00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:58,640
something like that that would certainly add a new dimension

393
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:00,559
to his character and make him a little more interesting

394
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:05,160
to people. But I just think, again, at the end

395
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:07,799
of all this, they put the belt back on Cody,

396
00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:09,960
then I have absolutely no idea what the point of

397
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:12,640
any of this was. It was certainly a very eventful

398
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:15,519
close to the show tonight. There'll be a big post mortem,

399
00:21:15,559 --> 00:21:18,079
I'm sure on this title reign, if you can call

400
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:21,960
it that of Sammy's ain. But we have a new

401
00:21:22,039 --> 00:21:25,279
WWE champion, and that was not the only title that

402
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:29,079
changed hands on this show tonight. We also have new

403
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:34,680
tag team champions the Vision. This is not what I

404
00:21:34,759 --> 00:21:37,240
was hoping for. In fact, there have been reports of

405
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:40,279
like that the Vision could potentially be going the way

406
00:21:40,279 --> 00:21:42,799
of the Dinosaur, that there is an internal discussion, and

407
00:21:42,839 --> 00:21:46,279
maybe there still is an internal debate in WWE about

408
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:48,759
do we split them up, do we keep them together?

409
00:21:49,759 --> 00:21:51,880
Either way, bron Breaker and Paul Hammer are going to

410
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:55,119
be kept together, which is fine. I think the Vision

411
00:21:55,599 --> 00:21:58,640
it's past its expiration date. Let me fuck you could

412
00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:00,640
say the same thing about the judgment at this point,

413
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:03,559
just blow him all up. What they did tonight on

414
00:22:03,599 --> 00:22:07,240
the show was the exact opposite. They made it seem

415
00:22:07,279 --> 00:22:09,480
like the Vision is going to be not only kept together,

416
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:11,519
they're gonna add new members to the Vision and try

417
00:22:11,559 --> 00:22:13,640
to make it even stronger. They put the tag team

418
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:16,799
belt right back on them. Maxine Dupree turn heel, so

419
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:19,480
I guess Maxine Duprie now was the first official female

420
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:22,400
member of the Vision, so the Vision ain't going nowhere

421
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:24,680
for a while. Bron Breaker was back on the show tonight.

422
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:28,279
I was hoping to see him out there spearing theory

423
00:22:28,319 --> 00:22:32,119
out of his boots. Instead he's I mean, he's just

424
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:34,119
doing what he usually does. I mean, he lost to

425
00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:36,480
seth Rollins. He doesn't seem terribly bothered by it. He

426
00:22:36,519 --> 00:22:41,079
didn't seem terribly pissed off or upset, and the focus

427
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:44,279
wasn't even on him tonight. The focus was on Maxine Dupree.

428
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:47,920
Of everybody in the vision, the focus tonight was on

429
00:22:48,039 --> 00:22:52,119
Maxine Dupree and bron Breaker like Logan Paul was just

430
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:56,599
sort of in the background, not a fan of that.

431
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:00,759
I am a fan of them doing this gauntlet match

432
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:03,000
on the show next week. We're gonna find out next

433
00:23:03,079 --> 00:23:05,759
Monday who the number one contender is going to be

434
00:23:05,839 --> 00:23:09,519
for the Intercontinental title at SummerSlam. And there's like seven

435
00:23:09,599 --> 00:23:12,480
guys in this gauntlet. One of those men is Chad Gable.

436
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:17,599
And I will tell you now if anybody and Javan

437
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:21,079
Evans is in there too, and Dragon Lee and Russev

438
00:23:21,079 --> 00:23:26,200
and Ethan Page, if anybody but Chad Gable wins that

439
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:29,000
gauntlet next week, I don't know what the fuck we'red

440
00:23:29,079 --> 00:23:30,920
and that includes Javon. I don't know what the fuck

441
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:33,640
we're doing here. Javan Evans should not be going to

442
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:37,640
Summer Slam to wrestle Penta for the Intercontinental Championship. One

443
00:23:37,759 --> 00:23:41,119
man should be going to Minneapolis, in his hometown to

444
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:44,400
wrestle for that championship, coming off all the momentum he

445
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:47,839
had with the Triple A match, which was only a

446
00:23:47,839 --> 00:23:50,200
couple not even a couple of months ago. That man

447
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:53,000
is Chad Gable. They have one job next week on

448
00:23:53,079 --> 00:23:55,160
the show, which is to put Chad Gable over in

449
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:57,799
the Gauntlet and send him to Minneapolis to wrestle for

450
00:23:57,839 --> 00:24:01,519
the Intercontinental Championshipfully that is the way that will play out.

451
00:24:01,519 --> 00:24:03,880
But that Gauntlet next week, considering some of the talent

452
00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:06,400
that's in there, that should be really good. Like they've

453
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:09,640
done gauntlet matches on Raw before, some of them have

454
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:12,640
been eh, kind of a bore, and then some of them,

455
00:24:12,839 --> 00:24:15,160
some of them could go the length of an entire hour,

456
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:17,559
and some of them have been really good. There was

457
00:24:17,599 --> 00:24:19,720
actually a really good one many years ago that Seth

458
00:24:19,759 --> 00:24:23,519
Rollins was in. I don't think he won, but I

459
00:24:23,519 --> 00:24:25,920
don't remember what the what the match was or what

460
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:30,079
the circumstances were. So that's coming up on the show

461
00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:33,039
next week. We had no Roman Reigns, we had no

462
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:36,160
Brocklesner on the show tonight. We did hear from their

463
00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:40,359
Summer Slam opponents they were on the show. I will

464
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:43,279
also point out it was yet another week without a

465
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:47,960
single Women's World Championship defense by liv Morgan since she

466
00:24:48,039 --> 00:24:50,680
won the title of WrestleMania. They have just completely given

467
00:24:50,759 --> 00:24:52,359
up on the idea of her putting the belt up

468
00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:56,720
against anybody. They're just gonna wait until SummerSlam. She'll defend

469
00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:59,680
it against EO Sky and hopefully she will fucking lose

470
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:04,440
because this is by far the worst Women's Championship run

471
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:08,599
that I have ever seen. Like, this is awful. This

472
00:25:08,759 --> 00:25:13,680
is absolutely all they have given her, nothing, nothing to

473
00:25:13,759 --> 00:25:17,759
work with. Stephanie Viquier is unavailable, whatever the issue is, visa,

474
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:21,200
whatever the fuck it is, She's unavailable. They have no

475
00:25:21,319 --> 00:25:24,920
idea what to do with this woman. You talk about

476
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:28,240
being caught flat footed. I could just imagine when the

477
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:30,759
news was delivered to them in the meeting. Hey, we

478
00:25:30,799 --> 00:25:33,519
don't have Stephanie. We may not have her back for

479
00:25:33,559 --> 00:25:38,240
a while. What do we do, Well, We'll just have

480
00:25:38,279 --> 00:25:39,920
her come out with the other members of the judgment

481
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:43,759
day every week. She'll be a manager. We got nothing

482
00:25:43,759 --> 00:25:48,160
better for her to do. It's unbelievable. Yet another week

483
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:51,920
of no title defenses. Amazing, We got a lot to

484
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:54,880
get into here. It was a very eventful show. I

485
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:57,119
will say that that we need more raws like this.

486
00:25:57,599 --> 00:25:59,799
I actually thought on the whole I would say it

487
00:25:59,839 --> 00:26:03,359
was a good show because it didn't bore me. This

488
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:07,200
is how I grade these WWE shows now, because so

489
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:10,240
many of them are just so lackluster and it just

490
00:26:10,279 --> 00:26:12,519
feels like, if I missed this show, I really didn't

491
00:26:12,519 --> 00:26:15,160
miss anything, right. I like it. When shit goes down,

492
00:26:15,599 --> 00:26:19,039
that's important that we can talk about. Whether it makes

493
00:26:19,079 --> 00:26:23,400
you happy or it pisses you off. At least something happened,

494
00:26:23,839 --> 00:26:25,640
and there were multiple things that happened on the show.

495
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:27,119
We're going to talk about them. This is your Raw

496
00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:30,880
on Netflix review. It is Monday night. It is July sixth,

497
00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:34,319
twenty twenty six. I am the solemn monster speaking of

498
00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:37,400
things that have happened on TV shows over the years

499
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:42,960
or pay per views. July sixth is a very special

500
00:26:43,039 --> 00:26:49,359
day because twenty nine years ago on this day, one

501
00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:53,839
of the greatest matches in WWE history took place at

502
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:57,480
the Calgary Stampede. It was at the Canadian Stampede pay

503
00:26:57,519 --> 00:27:02,920
per view. It was the Heart found It against Team USA.

504
00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:07,920
The building was literally shaking. Kudos to the Vault. By

505
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:11,319
the way, WWE Vault, they uploaded the entire match, all

506
00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:14,640
thirty plus minutes of it, earlier today on the Vault channel.

507
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:16,640
So if you want to watch it and start with

508
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:21,200
the entrances, you talk about an electric atmosphere. Holy shit.

509
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:26,480
So that was twenty nine years ago on this date,

510
00:27:26,839 --> 00:27:30,799
but also On this day twenty eight years ago, and

511
00:27:30,839 --> 00:27:35,319
this was on free TV on Monday, Nitro, we had

512
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:39,119
Goldberg beating Hollywood Hogan at the Georgia Dome to win

513
00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:43,400
the WCW World Heavyweight Championship. It was the peak of Goldberg,

514
00:27:43,599 --> 00:27:46,200
It was the peak of Nitro. It was the peak

515
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:49,799
of WCW's like Darby Allen reaching the summit of Mount

516
00:27:49,839 --> 00:27:52,720
Everest and then when you reach the summit you begin

517
00:27:52,799 --> 00:27:56,720
your descent. That was the beginning of the descent of WCW.

518
00:27:57,559 --> 00:28:00,960
But what a match that was. People in the Georgia

519
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:04,519
Dome lips Hogan up for the jackhammer pins them. You

520
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:07,519
look out the sea of fans, everybody, they're high five

521
00:28:07,599 --> 00:28:09,880
in each other. They're so happy. Oh my god, the

522
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:15,680
nWo is dead, or so they thought. So you talk

523
00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:19,960
about historic moments in wrestling history, that was certainly one

524
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:22,119
of them twenty eight years ago. Today, how about that

525
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:26,960
hit that subscribe button, hit that like button. I sure

526
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:29,799
would appreciate it. Super chats are open. I see, we're

527
00:28:29,799 --> 00:28:34,279
already more than halfway to our bonus goal, which is

528
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:37,000
very cool. You know what else is very cool? I

529
00:28:37,039 --> 00:28:39,599
got to give all you a shout out. How about this.

530
00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:44,559
How about this Cody Rhoads. They talk about Cody Rhodes

531
00:28:44,759 --> 00:28:50,240
finishing his story at WrestleMania a few years ago. Guess

532
00:28:50,279 --> 00:28:56,720
who finished his story today? Oh yes, check this out

533
00:28:57,559 --> 00:29:02,440
as of this morning, number one on the Apple Podcast

534
00:29:02,599 --> 00:29:06,839
Charts for Wrestling podcasts, the latest episode of The Solemn

535
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:11,599
Monster Sounds Off, Episode nine seventy. We've finished the story.

536
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:19,200
We finally topped Cornett's number one. That doesn't happen without you, guys,

537
00:29:19,599 --> 00:29:21,000
So I got to give all of you a big

538
00:29:21,039 --> 00:29:23,799
thank you. Thank you for downloading and streaming and supporting

539
00:29:24,799 --> 00:29:27,240
and listening to the podcast. It was a good one yesterday.

540
00:29:28,119 --> 00:29:31,240
So I could not go any further without just bringing

541
00:29:31,279 --> 00:29:35,240
that up and ah saying thank you. We have finished

542
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:39,759
the story. Hopefully this is not the peak of the SoundOff.

543
00:29:41,319 --> 00:29:43,720
You know, WWE. Ever since Cody finished his story a

544
00:29:43,759 --> 00:29:46,079
WrestleMania forty, it's been all downhill. They have not been

545
00:29:46,119 --> 00:29:49,720
able to find a story since then to match that one.

546
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:53,039
I would like to think that this is this is

547
00:29:53,079 --> 00:29:57,599
only the beginning, that this is not the peak. Yeah,

548
00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:03,640
solo Monster number one before GTA six, I pulled it off.

549
00:30:06,279 --> 00:30:09,319
Let's do it again next week. How about that also,

550
00:30:09,359 --> 00:30:10,799
I want to just mention for those of you who

551
00:30:10,799 --> 00:30:12,960
may have missed it, I did get a video up

552
00:30:13,119 --> 00:30:16,400
yesterday because of course I dropped the sound off, and

553
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:18,440
as soon as I did, as soon as the podcast

554
00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:22,440
went out, this fucking shamous news broke. So I decided

555
00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:26,200
to record a separate video with what we know about

556
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:28,640
the shameless situation and went on camera for that. That's

557
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:31,160
up on the YouTube channel as well, so if you

558
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:34,720
miss that, you can go back and check that out.

559
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:36,720
All right, let's bring it back to me. Let's bring

560
00:30:36,759 --> 00:30:40,440
out the wheel. The wheel is out of the shop.

561
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:44,160
The wheel is working again, So we're gonna spin it

562
00:30:44,279 --> 00:30:47,119
find out how many likes we need. It'd be kind

563
00:30:47,119 --> 00:30:49,240
of funny if it lands on a number we've already beaten.

564
00:30:51,799 --> 00:31:00,079
Let's see, three hundred and ninety. We need three one

565
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:03,519
hundred and ninety likes, so if we hit three ninety,

566
00:31:04,559 --> 00:31:09,680
then we are guaranteed at least the one round of

567
00:31:09,799 --> 00:31:16,279
be the booker a artist A J. Moore, Hey J,

568
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:20,640
what's going on? Brother? Thank you for the sub Hit

569
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:23,680
that sub button. If you are lurking in the shadows

570
00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:25,559
that well, you can be a part of our little

571
00:31:25,559 --> 00:31:30,799
community here. Well, we've already hit the goal. So now

572
00:31:30,839 --> 00:31:33,880
I guess we're just working on the bonus goal. See

573
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:36,200
what you guys can pull off there. All right, let's

574
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:38,839
get into this show. We're gonna take it from the top, because,

575
00:31:38,839 --> 00:31:40,680
like I said, there was a lot that went down here.

576
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:43,759
It was basically a show long storyline with the Sammy's

577
00:31:43,799 --> 00:31:46,799
and Cody road stuff, and it started right from the top.

578
00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:51,480
It started right Oh thank god, we had no Bremode tonight.

579
00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:56,000
We saved that for SmackDown. You know, Brie was very upset.

580
00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:58,839
I know on her podcast she talked about only getting

581
00:31:58,839 --> 00:32:04,519
three minutes for her match with You know, at this rate,

582
00:32:04,559 --> 00:32:06,519
I think she may get more airtime on this stream

583
00:32:06,519 --> 00:32:10,599
than she does on WWE television. Actually, I think we

584
00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:16,640
just did we Yes, we did. Oh my god, we

585
00:32:16,759 --> 00:32:23,680
hit the bonus goal. Son of a bitch. How about that?

586
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:29,240
My god? We did? We hit the bonus goal. Well,

587
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:31,920
here's what we're gonna do. Because we already hit the

588
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:34,640
bonus goal, we got we have to uh, we have

589
00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:39,000
to up the ante here. So before I before I

590
00:32:39,079 --> 00:32:42,319
move on here, it's kind of anti climactic if we

591
00:32:42,359 --> 00:32:48,000
already we already got the job done. We set a

592
00:32:48,039 --> 00:32:50,200
new goal. Maybe we'll get three rounds to be the

593
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:53,839
booker tonight. Let's see if we could start a new one.

594
00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:57,880
Steve lets me here we go. All right, this is

595
00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:02,240
the bonus bonus. We're gonna do a whole car to

596
00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:05,759
be the booker if we hit this goal. All right,

597
00:33:05,799 --> 00:33:08,640
So Sammy's aying he arrived to the arena in a convertible.

598
00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:11,599
He's been riding around in a convertible now for a while.

599
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:14,880
You can follow him on social media. You'll see all

600
00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:17,960
the I think he posted a video or images of him,

601
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:19,720
and the belt is in the driver's seat, or he's

602
00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:22,680
in the driver's seat, the belt in the passenger seat. See.

603
00:33:22,839 --> 00:33:28,359
Arrives at the building and Cody was standing backstage. Sammy,

604
00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:32,599
of course, was all smiles. Things got heated between the

605
00:33:32,599 --> 00:33:35,039
two of them when Gunther showed up. Now, Gunther was

606
00:33:35,079 --> 00:33:38,039
not supposed to be there. Gunther was supposedly sent home

607
00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:41,519
after his little brujaha with Nick all this after night

608
00:33:41,559 --> 00:33:44,480
of Champions. But here he is, and so Gunther is there.

609
00:33:44,519 --> 00:33:47,519
He power bombs Cody through a table that happened to

610
00:33:47,519 --> 00:33:50,920
be nearby, and he looks at Sammy. He goes, you're welcome,

611
00:33:51,319 --> 00:33:55,039
and he tells Sammy that Cody is no longer your problem.

612
00:33:55,240 --> 00:34:00,519
I am Gunh told Sammy that he was coming for him.

613
00:34:00,759 --> 00:34:03,480
So then Gunther looks over, he sees Cody is crawling

614
00:34:03,519 --> 00:34:07,519
towards Sammy's car, and he goes over and he kicks

615
00:34:07,559 --> 00:34:11,239
the driver's door, the driver's side door, right into Cody's head,

616
00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:14,960
and Cody had some blood kind of you know, coming

617
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:19,400
down his head a little bit there, and yeah, I'm

618
00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:22,639
looking at this and I'm like, uh oh, angle alert.

619
00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:27,119
Are they going to swap him out for somebody else

620
00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:30,920
in the main event? Michael Cole and Corey Graves wondered

621
00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:33,199
the same thing. They wonder what does this mean for

622
00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:37,079
the main event here on this show seth Rollins was

623
00:34:37,119 --> 00:34:40,679
then out to the ring to address the Chicago crowd.

624
00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:44,119
He was promptly met by chance of CM punk. You know,

625
00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:48,400
my favorite thing on this show was listening to Michael

626
00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:53,199
Cole and or Corey Graves have to feign surprise when

627
00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:55,280
CM punk showed up at the end of the show

628
00:34:55,559 --> 00:34:59,320
and also talk about how Sammy's ain seemingly had no idea.

629
00:35:01,039 --> 00:35:05,800
He's he's shocked, he is absolutely shocked that CM punk

630
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:07,840
would be on the show, even though the fans have

631
00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:11,280
been chanting CM Punk the entire night off and on,

632
00:35:12,199 --> 00:35:14,559
including when Sammy's ain came out to the ring. So

633
00:35:14,639 --> 00:35:16,719
I always love it when they have to just play stupid.

634
00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:21,239
They just have to play dumb. But yes, they were

635
00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:24,440
chanting for CM Punk here. In this segment, Rolin said

636
00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:26,840
he couldn't care less about him because Punk is not

637
00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:31,719
his business right now. The World Heavyweight Championship is. Roman

638
00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:39,320
Reigns is his business, and the fans didn't like hearing that.

639
00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:42,440
The fans the fans are the fans are funny man.

640
00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:45,639
Obviously you would expect them to cheer for Punk here

641
00:35:45,679 --> 00:35:49,000
in Chicago, but they cheer for Roman Reigns even though

642
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:52,719
he's a heel. They chant otc anybody who speaks ill

643
00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:55,639
of Roman Reigns. They boo that person. La Night got booed.

644
00:35:56,920 --> 00:35:58,920
I don't know where they were, but a few weeks

645
00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:02,960
ago on TV. He hates Roman Reigns, he hates the bloodline,

646
00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:05,639
and they love La Night except when he bashes Roman

647
00:36:05,679 --> 00:36:07,840
and then they bow him, and then he's got to

648
00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:09,360
turn it around and be like, oh, I get it,

649
00:36:09,599 --> 00:36:11,559
I get why you guys would like him. I got it.

650
00:36:11,599 --> 00:36:17,400
But you know he's up there a little bit. He said,

651
00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:20,039
Roman Reigns is not here tonight. Man. He doesn't like

652
00:36:20,079 --> 00:36:22,719
it either. But Roman didn't show up because he didn't

653
00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:25,880
think it benefited him. Either that or the check wasn't

654
00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:31,079
big enough. From day one, Roman has been the chosen one.

655
00:36:31,079 --> 00:36:34,840
Nobody ever wants to hold him accountable. The Shield debuted

656
00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:36,800
as a trio, but it was made very clear that

657
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:39,800
Roman was the chosen one. Roman was the one who

658
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:42,239
was going to be the big star, no matter if

659
00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:45,599
he couldn't cut a promo or wrestle his way out

660
00:36:45,639 --> 00:36:48,559
of a wet paper bag. That didn't sit right with Seth.

661
00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:54,000
He points out a little boy in the crowd somewhere

662
00:36:54,039 --> 00:36:55,920
in the front row. He goes, that was me. I

663
00:36:56,159 --> 00:36:59,360
was that boy he sat in the stands. He wanted

664
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:02,280
to be a pro wrestler his entire life. He wanted

665
00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:04,239
to main event wrestle Mania is he wanted to be

666
00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:07,599
the biggest star in the industry. To watch those dreams

667
00:37:07,639 --> 00:37:11,199
be handed off to somebody else broke something in him.

668
00:37:11,519 --> 00:37:14,320
Every decision he made after that is in response to

669
00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:16,840
watching his dreams get handed to somebody that he didn't

670
00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:20,079
think deserved it. He broke up the shield he cashed

671
00:37:20,119 --> 00:37:22,480
in at WrestleMania in the main event to stick close

672
00:37:22,519 --> 00:37:25,239
to Roman raids. He believed that if he put in

673
00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:27,320
the work and believed in himself, that he could still

674
00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:31,360
achieve those dreams. But they weren't running in the same race.

675
00:37:32,559 --> 00:37:35,079
A couple of years ago, Roman said something about him

676
00:37:35,079 --> 00:37:38,840
that changed everything for him. He admitted that Seth worked

677
00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:41,519
ten times harder, but Roman made ten times the money

678
00:37:41,559 --> 00:37:46,840
that Seth did. Isn't that the thing about life? You

679
00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:50,440
could have somebody who doesn't work nearly as hard as

680
00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:53,920
you do, and yet somehow they'll find more success than you,

681
00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:57,920
or they'll make more money than you. Right. I think

682
00:37:57,920 --> 00:37:59,800
that's a wrestling thing. I think that's a life thing.

683
00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:03,280
Believe me, there's a lot of very frustrated people out

684
00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:06,559
there who could probably relate to that. So in this case,

685
00:38:06,599 --> 00:38:08,920
it just it just irked him to no end. He

686
00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:13,159
said that he was bullshit, is what he called it.

687
00:38:13,159 --> 00:38:15,159
It wasn't about the money. He wasn't about living in

688
00:38:15,199 --> 00:38:19,039
a mansion. The reward was the work, the ability to

689
00:38:19,079 --> 00:38:21,559
come in and make something of himself. Roman has to

690
00:38:21,599 --> 00:38:24,719
beat Seth at Summerslim because he needs to justify what

691
00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:27,119
he's been trying to prove to himself for the last

692
00:38:27,199 --> 00:38:32,880
fifteen years. And that's not a case of him being

693
00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:35,719
the tribal chief for the OTC or anything like that.

694
00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:39,400
To Roman, Roman has to prove that he is not

695
00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:41,639
a fraud. He has to do the one thing he

696
00:38:41,639 --> 00:38:44,679
hasn't been able to do in a big match, beat Seth.

697
00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:48,960
If he can't beat Seth and he's a fraud, Seth

698
00:38:49,039 --> 00:38:51,280
needs to beat Roman just as much. He needs to

699
00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:54,599
prove to himself and his five year old self that

700
00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:58,760
through sacrifice, hard work, and dreams you can still achieve greatness.

701
00:38:59,119 --> 00:39:02,159
And I'm not gonna lie. This promo was boring me.

702
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:07,800
I was surprised I didn't start dozing off here. This

703
00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:13,039
was not the most exciting Seth Rollins promo that we've

704
00:39:13,079 --> 00:39:15,159
gotten out of him. Not that anything that he was

705
00:39:15,199 --> 00:39:17,880
saying here was wrong. I mean, he's trying to throw

706
00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:20,760
some more gasoline on the fire for his summer Slam match,

707
00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:22,360
and there's only so much you can do when your

708
00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:25,920
opponent doesn't show up to work. So he did what

709
00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:28,360
he could hear in this promo to make the key

710
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:34,119
points he wanted to make. But yeah, this wasn't working,

711
00:39:34,639 --> 00:39:37,840
and it wasn't working in Chicago because again, you know

712
00:39:38,079 --> 00:39:42,199
CM punk chants during a Seth Rollins promo. Seth Rollins

713
00:39:42,239 --> 00:39:46,360
doesn't like ciampunk. He's cutting a promo on Roman rains.

714
00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:50,440
Roman reigns super popular with the crowd. Fans didn't want

715
00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:53,639
to hear it. They're very quiet. They did not want

716
00:39:53,679 --> 00:39:57,000
to hear what this man was trying to sell them. Thankfully,

717
00:39:57,079 --> 00:40:00,639
it was boring La Knight as well, who interrupted and

718
00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:03,199
he came out to save the day. He said that

719
00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:05,719
there was no way that for two weeks in a row,

720
00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:09,119
he was just gonna sit there and listen to this again.

721
00:40:11,559 --> 00:40:14,679
He said, Roman and Seth bore everyone to sleep every

722
00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:18,119
week with the same old trash. Yip be Skippy, he said,

723
00:40:18,599 --> 00:40:22,679
put that on a T shirt. I'll buy that Yip

724
00:40:22,679 --> 00:40:24,679
be Skippy with the La Night logo on the back.

725
00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:29,599
He said. They bloviated all over each other. What a

726
00:40:29,599 --> 00:40:31,719
great cheat code. All they had to do was talk

727
00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:34,159
about how great they were, and Seth gets a title shot.

728
00:40:35,639 --> 00:40:38,360
Night remembers when you had to win matches in tournaments

729
00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:41,320
to get title shots. They both lost in the first

730
00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:42,880
round of the King of the Ring, but the difference

731
00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:45,039
between them is that Knight's not making a claim to

732
00:40:45,079 --> 00:40:50,280
the title for nostalgia's sake. These two guys come out there, brother, brother, brother, brother,

733
00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:52,800
I gotta beat you brother, brother, brother. He was morphing

734
00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:56,199
into Hogan here for a second that or Russo. I

735
00:40:56,239 --> 00:41:00,360
don't know. I guess Russeau would be bro. Yeah, morphin

736
00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:02,320
into Hogan. You don't. You don't do that. You don't

737
00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:09,800
want to morph into Hogan. Say he's mocking them, you

738
00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:12,599
know again, brother, brother, brother, brother, this brother, that they're

739
00:41:12,639 --> 00:41:15,039
the greatest of all time, greatest of what he said.

740
00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:17,760
Night hasn't been here as long as Seth has, and

741
00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:20,239
he'll never catch him as far as world title shots go.

742
00:41:21,079 --> 00:41:24,119
But when business was starting to peak a couple of

743
00:41:24,159 --> 00:41:27,719
years ago, who is the man on top? He said,

744
00:41:27,719 --> 00:41:30,360
He'll give some credit to Cody Rhodes. But everybody was

745
00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:35,480
saying and everybody chants, la Knight. He said he was

746
00:41:35,519 --> 00:41:37,480
making his rise, but he got cut off by the

747
00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:39,599
blood Line, and he got cut off by the Vision.

748
00:41:40,840 --> 00:41:43,159
Here we are again. The Bloodline is trying to hold

749
00:41:43,239 --> 00:41:46,000
him down again, but they can't. Roman and Seth are

750
00:41:46,039 --> 00:41:49,960
the two biggest vomits in the business. They can't stop

751
00:41:50,199 --> 00:41:55,199
La Night because he must rise. So Seth goes, are

752
00:41:55,239 --> 00:41:59,599
you done? He says, I don't like you, but I

753
00:41:59,639 --> 00:42:04,320
respect Knight is a shining example of everything that he described,

754
00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:07,320
hard work, hustle, and grind. He believes his time will come.

755
00:42:10,039 --> 00:42:14,280
That's very very optimistic of him. Right now, Seth can't

756
00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:16,039
worry about La Night because he has to go to

757
00:42:16,039 --> 00:42:18,280
SummerSlam and get the belt back that he never lost.

758
00:42:18,599 --> 00:42:20,840
But after he gets it back, Night can be the

759
00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:25,039
first person he puts in the dirt and so Rollin's

760
00:42:25,880 --> 00:42:31,000
He goes to leave, and after Night turns around, Jimmy

761
00:42:31,079 --> 00:42:34,840
Usso is in the ring and Jimmy is waiting for him,

762
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:39,920
and Knight eats the foot off the superkick, and then

763
00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:43,960
Jimmy retreated into the crowd. He was mouthing off as

764
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:46,239
he was leaving. You know, keep my family's name out

765
00:42:46,239 --> 00:42:48,840
of your mouth. I should point out to you that

766
00:42:48,880 --> 00:42:53,159
it was already twenty five minutes past the top of

767
00:42:53,199 --> 00:42:56,599
the top of the hour. Really since the show started,

768
00:42:56,599 --> 00:42:59,159
it was like eight twenty five. We had a lot

769
00:42:59,239 --> 00:43:02,400
of a lot of talking on this show. We had

770
00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:05,119
yet to have any actual match. I guess we had

771
00:43:05,159 --> 00:43:08,360
some action in terms of Cody getting bloodied up backstage.

772
00:43:08,360 --> 00:43:12,039
We got a power bomb through a table backstage by Gunther.

773
00:43:12,199 --> 00:43:13,840
That was the extent to which we had any action

774
00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:17,559
up to this point on the show. Seth Rollins. Here's

775
00:43:17,559 --> 00:43:20,280
the thing about the Seth Rollins promo. Seth Rollins is

776
00:43:20,320 --> 00:43:34,079
the the de facto babyface, right, got fut fuck that tree.

777
00:43:34,480 --> 00:43:38,480
That's right, You tell him, you tell him death sith,

778
00:43:43,519 --> 00:43:47,920
Thank you brother. What I was gonna say is that

779
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:52,039
in this segment, Rollins was only the fourth most over

780
00:43:52,159 --> 00:43:59,519
guy who was mentioned or appeared Punk Roman La Knight.

781
00:44:00,280 --> 00:44:03,800
Rollins was number four. Rollins is the one who's going

782
00:44:03,840 --> 00:44:06,760
to Summer Slam to challenge for the World Heavyweight Championship.

783
00:44:06,800 --> 00:44:09,599
It was a bad look. It was a bad look

784
00:44:09,599 --> 00:44:12,599
that he was only the fourth most over guy in

785
00:44:12,639 --> 00:44:16,000
this entire segment. Looks It's hard for me to sit

786
00:44:16,039 --> 00:44:19,440
here and get excited about, oh, you know La Knight

787
00:44:20,079 --> 00:44:22,800
is you know, giving it to Seth Rollins because the

788
00:44:22,880 --> 00:44:25,559
promo that night cut here was so much better than Seths.

789
00:44:27,159 --> 00:44:30,000
And I'm looking at this and I'm like, maybe they're

790
00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:32,239
positioning him for some But then I catch myself and

791
00:44:32,280 --> 00:44:34,880
I'm like, you got to stop doing that because we've

792
00:44:34,920 --> 00:44:38,559
been here before, Like we have been here before multiple

793
00:44:38,599 --> 00:44:41,639
times where Night comes out in the middle of a

794
00:44:41,639 --> 00:44:43,960
segment like this, or he confronts you know whoever it is,

795
00:44:44,039 --> 00:44:47,239
the top heel or babyface or whatever, and it's like, Okay,

796
00:44:47,280 --> 00:44:50,559
maybe they're maybe they're planning something with him, right, maybe

797
00:44:50,760 --> 00:44:54,639
maybe there's something in the works. There's nothing in the works.

798
00:44:55,199 --> 00:44:57,280
You know what's in the works. A six man tag

799
00:44:57,559 --> 00:44:59,360
is in the works. That's what's in the works for

800
00:44:59,400 --> 00:45:02,360
him at summers and coming out of summer, Slim, I

801
00:45:02,400 --> 00:45:06,039
don't expect anything to be any different. For if it

802
00:45:06,079 --> 00:45:08,360
is great, I'll be the first to come on here

803
00:45:08,360 --> 00:45:11,360
and say I didn't see it coming. But you know,

804
00:45:11,400 --> 00:45:15,119
when you would like to see someone kind of elevated

805
00:45:15,159 --> 00:45:17,480
to a position higher than the one that they're in,

806
00:45:17,559 --> 00:45:20,320
doing something more meaningful to what they have them doing,

807
00:45:21,440 --> 00:45:24,599
and time after time after time, it just doesn't happen.

808
00:45:24,639 --> 00:45:28,000
Despite the reactions that he continues to get, after a while,

809
00:45:28,039 --> 00:45:30,719
you're like, Okay, you know, fool me ones, fool me twice,

810
00:45:30,760 --> 00:45:34,840
fool me seven times after that. Yeah, I'm not really

811
00:45:34,840 --> 00:45:37,119
going to expect much out of it. So he was

812
00:45:37,199 --> 00:45:39,800
the star of this segment here. But beyond that, do

813
00:45:39,920 --> 00:45:43,159
I think it's actually leading to something tangible, meaningful for him?

814
00:45:43,840 --> 00:45:51,159
I don't. I don't. We go to the back Adam Pearson, guntherer.

815
00:45:51,239 --> 00:45:54,159
They were arguing as Gunther was being escorted out of

816
00:45:54,159 --> 00:45:57,400
the building. But hold on a second, Nick, All this

817
00:45:57,639 --> 00:46:00,480
is here. It's as if he was he never sent

818
00:46:00,559 --> 00:46:03,199
home in the first place, even though he was he

819
00:46:03,239 --> 00:46:06,199
was sent home on administrative leave. He showed up to work.

820
00:46:06,239 --> 00:46:10,599
Anybody who does that, who gets sent home and just

821
00:46:10,639 --> 00:46:13,320
shows up to work anyway, if you're sent home on

822
00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:18,159
administrative leave, I guess technically you're still being paid, I

823
00:46:18,559 --> 00:46:22,880
would guess. But anyway, So here he is, and so

824
00:46:23,360 --> 00:46:26,480
he's yelling at Gunther. Pierce is getting in between them,

825
00:46:26,519 --> 00:46:29,199
trying to keep the two of them apart. Gunh says,

826
00:46:29,239 --> 00:46:31,639
all this was a failed wrestler and now he's a

827
00:46:31,679 --> 00:46:36,039
failed general manager. So after Gunther left Pierce and all

828
00:46:36,079 --> 00:46:38,760
this they got into it. All this was very upset

829
00:46:38,800 --> 00:46:42,679
that Pierce poached his main event and was doing it

830
00:46:42,719 --> 00:46:45,440
on Raw instead of doing it on SmackDown, which he's right,

831
00:46:45,480 --> 00:46:48,320
by the way, the WWE Championship, there's no real reason

832
00:46:48,320 --> 00:46:50,320
for it to be defended on this show other than

833
00:46:51,159 --> 00:46:52,760
it was going to be CM Punk in the match.

834
00:46:53,719 --> 00:46:57,599
So he was very upset about this, and Pierce said, well,

835
00:46:57,639 --> 00:47:01,480
I'm running both shows now because of you and all

836
00:47:01,559 --> 00:47:03,760
this said yeah, and you're doing a really crappy job,

837
00:47:05,320 --> 00:47:07,920
he said, Cody getting injured and potentially being out of

838
00:47:07,960 --> 00:47:12,559
tonight's main event. That's on you. Where has this been,

839
00:47:12,639 --> 00:47:17,239
by the way, where we need more of this? We

840
00:47:17,320 --> 00:47:20,519
have these general managers that are generally they're very deferential

841
00:47:20,559 --> 00:47:24,480
to each other. They work together, they don't really do

842
00:47:24,519 --> 00:47:26,960
a lot in terms of trades and things of that nature.

843
00:47:27,480 --> 00:47:31,039
We need more, you know, we need more animus like

844
00:47:31,079 --> 00:47:35,280
this between the two gms, right, it sparks good competition

845
00:47:35,519 --> 00:47:38,559
between the brands. We need to see more of this

846
00:47:38,639 --> 00:47:45,440
between these two. We have the Street Profits finally a match,

847
00:47:46,280 --> 00:47:49,960
Street Profits defending the World Tag team titles against bron

848
00:47:50,079 --> 00:47:56,360
Breaker and Austin Theory representing the Vision. During the commercial break,

849
00:47:56,840 --> 00:47:59,079
the Street Profits they got the jay usso interests they

850
00:47:59,119 --> 00:48:02,159
were they were or the death Rider's entrance. They were

851
00:48:02,199 --> 00:48:04,920
coming through the crowd and I don't know what was

852
00:48:04,960 --> 00:48:08,199
going on with montez Ford. He gets to the barricade

853
00:48:08,239 --> 00:48:11,400
at ringside, and the security guard is sitting there right

854
00:48:11,480 --> 00:48:14,920
right up against the barricade in a chair, and Ford

855
00:48:14,960 --> 00:48:18,280
gets right up in his face. Basically, his crotch is

856
00:48:18,440 --> 00:48:23,280
level with the security guard's face and he starts thrusting himself.

857
00:48:23,320 --> 00:48:29,239
He's thrusting his pelvis into the security guard's face. He

858
00:48:29,320 --> 00:48:31,480
is gyrating in this man's face. I think he was

859
00:48:31,519 --> 00:48:34,599
trying to break him. And the security guy is just

860
00:48:34,639 --> 00:48:37,199
looking at him and he's just kind of shaking his head.

861
00:48:37,280 --> 00:48:40,079
He has no idea, you know what's going on here.

862
00:48:40,440 --> 00:48:42,519
Dawkins is looking at Ford. He's got to look on

863
00:48:42,559 --> 00:48:45,679
his face like, what the fuck are you doing? He

864
00:48:46,440 --> 00:48:48,360
was on something. I don't know what was going on here.

865
00:48:50,360 --> 00:48:53,519
So in the back after the break, Jackie Redman was

866
00:48:53,559 --> 00:49:00,440
about to interview bron Breaker Austin theory logan. Yes, another

867
00:49:00,559 --> 00:49:06,360
NDA is about to be signed here in WWE. We

868
00:49:06,400 --> 00:49:08,719
already have a lot of them. We probably have somebody

869
00:49:08,760 --> 00:49:11,679
more than we don't even know about. What's another non

870
00:49:11,719 --> 00:49:16,559
disclosure agreement. But Jackie is about to interview the vision

871
00:49:17,840 --> 00:49:22,480
when Paul Hayman shows up. He tells bron Breaker, don't

872
00:49:22,480 --> 00:49:25,960
worry about that. Spear through the barricade a few weeks ago,

873
00:49:26,719 --> 00:49:30,920
tell Breaker, you didn't even take out seth Rollins. Then

874
00:49:30,960 --> 00:49:36,159
he looked at Austin Theory and he said, you you

875
00:49:36,159 --> 00:49:40,400
didn't even take out Joe Hendry, as if they can't

876
00:49:41,159 --> 00:49:43,280
bury Joe Hendry any more than they already have with

877
00:49:43,320 --> 00:49:48,000
the way he's been used tag team titles. He says

878
00:49:48,320 --> 00:49:52,880
street profits. He says, come back with something worthy of

879
00:49:52,960 --> 00:49:55,960
your wise men, or don't come back to me at all,

880
00:49:58,039 --> 00:50:01,840
and he walked off. Late in the match, the Prophets

881
00:50:01,920 --> 00:50:05,360
hit the Doomsday blockbuster to Theory. Bron Breaker broke up

882
00:50:05,400 --> 00:50:08,440
the pen attempt that followed. Logan Paul was out there

883
00:50:08,800 --> 00:50:11,280
and he tried to pass the brass knucks to Theory.

884
00:50:11,920 --> 00:50:15,599
Referee was right there, so the referee caught him. Referee

885
00:50:16,000 --> 00:50:19,519
put his foot on the knucks and he went to go,

886
00:50:19,800 --> 00:50:24,000
uh remove them. But it was all a decoy because

887
00:50:24,559 --> 00:50:28,480
Logan passed another set of knucks to bron Breaker. Dawkins,

888
00:50:28,480 --> 00:50:30,599
though was able to get them before he could use them.

889
00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:34,960
He was about to use them on Theory, referee was distracted.

890
00:50:34,960 --> 00:50:38,000
I don't remember exactly where the referee was at this

891
00:50:38,119 --> 00:50:43,280
exact moment, but Maxine Dupre crawls into the ring from

892
00:50:43,320 --> 00:50:47,840
behind Angelo Dawkins and delivers a low blow and Austin

893
00:50:47,920 --> 00:50:52,519
Theory then covers Dawkins one two three, and the Vision

894
00:50:53,320 --> 00:50:57,440
are once again the world Tag Team Champions. Bron Breaker

895
00:50:57,920 --> 00:51:01,000
is yet again a tag teamampion, as if he needs

896
00:51:01,039 --> 00:51:06,440
that tag team champion with Austin Theory. As they're leaving,

897
00:51:06,440 --> 00:51:10,880
they're in the isleway, Maxine races over, the Theory jumps

898
00:51:10,960 --> 00:51:13,559
up in his arms, and they start making out. They

899
00:51:13,599 --> 00:51:16,480
are swamping spit. They're smooching right there in the isleway.

900
00:51:17,719 --> 00:51:22,639
So they're the new it couple, I guess in WWE,

901
00:51:22,800 --> 00:51:25,960
And again the focus was on Theory in Maxine, focus

902
00:51:26,039 --> 00:51:28,239
was not on bron Breaker here. That's why I said

903
00:51:28,239 --> 00:51:32,119
bron Breaker just felt like a bit player in the

904
00:51:32,159 --> 00:51:36,360
background here. So the Street, you know, we talk about

905
00:51:36,360 --> 00:51:40,519
Sammy Zain being the WWE Champion for nine days. The

906
00:51:40,519 --> 00:51:44,519
Street profits, they got the titles for two weeks, and

907
00:51:44,599 --> 00:51:47,079
now the Vision has the belts back, which means, unfortunately

908
00:51:47,119 --> 00:51:50,719
they are not being disbanded anytime in the near future,

909
00:51:51,719 --> 00:51:54,679
which is terrible. That's a double whammy of suck right there,

910
00:51:56,159 --> 00:51:57,840
because this is not a group that needs to be

911
00:51:57,920 --> 00:52:03,320
together anymore. As far as Maxine finally going heel, I'll

912
00:52:03,360 --> 00:52:06,119
say this, this may be the best role for her.

913
00:52:06,320 --> 00:52:09,119
She may excel in this role. I'd rather see her

914
00:52:09,119 --> 00:52:10,920
in this role than have her back in the ring

915
00:52:10,960 --> 00:52:15,320
attempting to have you know, matches every single week that

916
00:52:15,480 --> 00:52:17,679
are not going to be very good because she's just

917
00:52:17,719 --> 00:52:20,559
not getting enough time in the ring to improve and

918
00:52:20,599 --> 00:52:22,440
get better at the rate that she would need to.

919
00:52:23,239 --> 00:52:25,440
This might be a role that she excels in. I'm

920
00:52:25,480 --> 00:52:27,920
just happy they paid off all of these little, you know,

921
00:52:28,079 --> 00:52:31,880
backstage teases and these little backstage segments that they've been

922
00:52:32,079 --> 00:52:34,039
kind of dropping on us over the last few months.

923
00:52:34,440 --> 00:52:36,480
At least we finally got some kind of payoff to it.

924
00:52:38,880 --> 00:52:41,360
So it's the best I could say about that as

925
00:52:41,400 --> 00:52:43,599
far at least as far as she goes. Not a

926
00:52:43,639 --> 00:52:45,559
bad role for her to be in. I do wonder,

927
00:52:46,360 --> 00:52:50,000
I do wonder if they got the Belts off the

928
00:52:50,039 --> 00:52:53,840
street profits. Bianca bell Air I think is due any week.

929
00:52:54,639 --> 00:52:57,320
Right when she when she showed up a WrestleMania, she

930
00:52:57,480 --> 00:53:01,679
was six months alone, so she's probably due to give

931
00:53:01,719 --> 00:53:06,119
birth very soon, and so I wonder if maybe that

932
00:53:06,639 --> 00:53:09,000
played a role in them losing the Belts if we're

933
00:53:09,039 --> 00:53:10,760
we're not going to be seeing the street profits on

934
00:53:10,800 --> 00:53:13,440
TV for a bit. I know Angelo Dawkins and his wife,

935
00:53:13,440 --> 00:53:16,239
they were also expecting their third child, I think, but

936
00:53:16,239 --> 00:53:19,519
I don't think that's until September. But they both have

937
00:53:20,280 --> 00:53:23,360
they both have you know, babies on the way. That

938
00:53:23,480 --> 00:53:26,840
could have factored into you know, them getting the belts. Yeah,

939
00:53:26,880 --> 00:53:28,519
let's put the belts on them and get them a

940
00:53:28,559 --> 00:53:31,000
win and then get the belts off because they may

941
00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:34,199
not be available soon. That's just my that's my Austin

942
00:53:34,280 --> 00:53:38,320
theory about this. So anyway, there was a doctor in

943
00:53:38,360 --> 00:53:42,760
the back who was checking on Cody and Adam Pierce

944
00:53:42,840 --> 00:53:48,280
comes in and the doctor looks at Pierce and he goes, sorry,

945
00:53:48,400 --> 00:53:52,159
I I can't I just I can't sign off on this.

946
00:53:52,199 --> 00:53:55,159
I can't clear him. And Cody of course is like no, no, no, no,

947
00:53:55,199 --> 00:54:00,599
I'm fine. I'm fine, I'm fine, And Pierce says, okay, look,

948
00:54:01,280 --> 00:54:04,119
we have to get scans. Now. We have an ambulance outside.

949
00:54:04,400 --> 00:54:06,119
Maybe we can get him to the ambulance. We can

950
00:54:06,199 --> 00:54:09,119
do the scans here and let's see before you make

951
00:54:09,119 --> 00:54:11,639
a final diagnosis or a final decision, let's get him

952
00:54:11,639 --> 00:54:14,480
into the scans. And see what they say. And so

953
00:54:14,599 --> 00:54:18,119
off they went. But it didn't look good Elsewhere in

954
00:54:18,159 --> 00:54:22,239
the back, the Vision is in a very celebratory mood.

955
00:54:22,559 --> 00:54:25,119
Logan Paul tells the other Vision members how happy he

956
00:54:25,159 --> 00:54:27,639
is and proud he is of them. Paul Hayman shows up.

957
00:54:28,000 --> 00:54:31,599
He says, that's a good first step. But it's only

958
00:54:31,639 --> 00:54:34,519
a first step. But he admits, you know, maybe I'm

959
00:54:34,559 --> 00:54:39,199
being too harsh. At least somebody accomplished something tonight in

960
00:54:39,280 --> 00:54:42,760
Theory looks at him and goes, thank you, Paul, and

961
00:54:42,960 --> 00:54:47,119
Hayman tells him, I wasn't talking about you, I was

962
00:54:47,199 --> 00:54:51,440
talking about her, and off he goes. So Haman left

963
00:54:51,599 --> 00:54:53,920
and then the other members of the Vision they got

964
00:54:53,920 --> 00:54:57,320
into their suv. As soon as the suv pulled away,

965
00:54:58,679 --> 00:55:01,760
that's when Otison tells Zawa SHOWEDO. They came running out.

966
00:55:01,840 --> 00:55:04,599
They watched as the suv drove off. They were they

967
00:55:04,639 --> 00:55:08,960
were crestfallen. They were devastated at this turn of events.

968
00:55:09,039 --> 00:55:12,760
With Maxine Dupree, I can't wait until they confront her

969
00:55:12,760 --> 00:55:14,960
next week, and she smacks the She pulls a Stephanie

970
00:55:15,039 --> 00:55:18,280
McMahon and smacks the shit out of them. So yes,

971
00:55:18,320 --> 00:55:23,639
the Alpha Academy is uh greatly dismayed at this turn

972
00:55:23,679 --> 00:55:33,760
of events. A Melick Gayman screams for Kyrie, thank you

973
00:55:33,800 --> 00:55:40,519
for the twenty bucks brother theory accomplishing something. Yes, you

974
00:55:40,599 --> 00:55:46,800
had a good laugh at that, didn't you. Roderick oh

975
00:55:46,840 --> 00:55:54,559
Man Alpha Academy Vision feud for the rest of the summer.

976
00:55:55,039 --> 00:56:03,119
Why why, why why even bring that up up? Theory

977
00:56:03,239 --> 00:56:07,519
is so much better as a babyfit. I don't disagree

978
00:56:07,559 --> 00:56:09,559
with you on that. I think he's been miscast for

979
00:56:09,639 --> 00:56:12,480
a while now. I thought, coming out of the Waller stuff,

980
00:56:12,480 --> 00:56:14,920
we were gonna get a babyface, right, that would have

981
00:56:15,559 --> 00:56:18,639
made a difference and worked. Who knows. I think he's

982
00:56:18,639 --> 00:56:22,119
got a good babyface run in him, but they just

983
00:56:22,159 --> 00:56:27,000
insist on keeping him as a heel. Now next week,

984
00:56:27,039 --> 00:56:29,920
this is where they made the announcement on the show.

985
00:56:29,960 --> 00:56:34,239
Next week, we're gonna be getting a gauntlet match to

986
00:56:34,280 --> 00:56:38,960
crown a number one contender for Penta's Intercontinental title at SummerSlam.

987
00:56:39,559 --> 00:56:45,559
And in this gauntlet we have Chad Gable, Dragonly Joe Hendry,

988
00:56:46,480 --> 00:56:49,360
which means he's actually gonna get a fucking entrance next week.

989
00:56:49,400 --> 00:56:55,039
Holy shit, I just realized his first official entrance, so

990
00:56:55,039 --> 00:56:56,920
I'm not counting tonight. We'll get to him in a

991
00:56:56,920 --> 00:57:01,719
little bit, but Joe Hendry will be in there, Javan Evans,

992
00:57:02,639 --> 00:57:07,480
Dominic Mysterio, Ethan Page and Russev. One of those men

993
00:57:07,920 --> 00:57:11,679
will challenge Penta for the intercontinental title of SummerSlam. There's

994
00:57:11,719 --> 00:57:16,760
only one option here. They have one job. Don't fuck

995
00:57:16,840 --> 00:57:22,360
this up. Jackie Redman interviewed the Intercontinental champion Penta, who

996
00:57:22,400 --> 00:57:25,639
was interrupted by Ethan Page and Russev. Paige said that

997
00:57:25,760 --> 00:57:28,079
Raymisterio is not going to be in the Gauntlet because

998
00:57:28,119 --> 00:57:30,920
he's on the shelf. After being in the ring with him,

999
00:57:32,599 --> 00:57:36,400
what was it, Raymisterio just on the triple aishaw looking fine,

1000
00:57:37,239 --> 00:57:42,239
introducing Damian Priest. He looks okay to me. Wouldn't call

1001
00:57:42,280 --> 00:57:48,199
that on the shelf. So Dragon Lee showed up and

1002
00:57:48,320 --> 00:57:52,239
he told Paige, watch what you say about Ray. Russev

1003
00:57:52,280 --> 00:57:54,599
said that Dragon Lee better learn English or he would

1004
00:57:54,639 --> 00:57:57,239
squash him too. Chad Gable showed up, he got in

1005
00:57:57,360 --> 00:58:01,159
Russev's face, Page pulled Rusev. He said that they could

1006
00:58:01,199 --> 00:58:05,239
talk to Adam Pierce about making a tag team match tonight,

1007
00:58:06,239 --> 00:58:09,440
which actually ended up being up until the main event

1008
00:58:10,039 --> 00:58:12,800
was the best thing on the show in ring wise.

1009
00:58:13,199 --> 00:58:16,079
Obviously this ended up being number two best thing on

1010
00:58:16,119 --> 00:58:19,280
the entire show. But they set that matchup for a

1011
00:58:19,360 --> 00:58:24,239
little bit later on in the night. And oh, my goodness,

1012
00:58:25,960 --> 00:58:32,760
we have got another goal unlocked. You guys got to

1013
00:58:32,760 --> 00:58:35,119
help me keep track of this. You guys have already earned.

1014
00:58:36,480 --> 00:58:39,800
You guys have earned five. God got five rounds to go.

1015
00:58:39,920 --> 00:58:44,000
My goodness, Oh my god. Soul Ruka, let's talk about

1016
00:58:44,000 --> 00:58:50,000
Soul Ruca against Raquel Rodriguez for the Women's Intercontinental Championship.

1017
00:58:51,079 --> 00:58:53,519
Soul missed the moon, salt to the floor, landed on

1018
00:58:53,519 --> 00:58:57,079
her feet, though then she hit a springboard twisting body

1019
00:58:57,079 --> 00:59:00,039
press onto Raquel, who was on the floor. Back in.

1020
00:59:00,519 --> 00:59:02,559
Soul flipped out of a choke's limb attempt, but she

1021
00:59:02,719 --> 00:59:09,960
got wasted, I mean absolutely wasted. Holy shit, this clothes line.

1022
00:59:10,039 --> 00:59:13,280
She got wrecked by a clothes line by Raquel, and

1023
00:59:13,320 --> 00:59:16,519
that took us into a commercial break. They showed a

1024
00:59:16,519 --> 00:59:21,159
slow mow replay of it. Man, it looked it looked brutal.

1025
00:59:23,320 --> 00:59:26,199
So Roxanne Perez showed up late in the match. She

1026
00:59:26,239 --> 00:59:29,000
got up on the apron to distract the referee. Meanwhile,

1027
00:59:29,679 --> 00:59:32,679
Lived Morgan tripped up Soul on the ropes when she

1028
00:59:32,719 --> 00:59:36,480
went for a soul snatcher. Raquel then dropped Soul with

1029
00:59:36,519 --> 00:59:38,079
a side slam that was a good in near fall.

1030
00:59:38,199 --> 00:59:40,960
I thought she might have it there. Eo Sky's music

1031
00:59:41,039 --> 00:59:43,960
hit and she came from the crowd to take out

1032
00:59:44,000 --> 00:59:48,119
Perez and Morgan. She got Raquel's attention briefly as she

1033
00:59:48,199 --> 00:59:52,800
was standing on the apron, and when Raquel charged at her,

1034
00:59:53,519 --> 00:59:57,039
Eo hit an Asaii moonsol and she wiped out the

1035
00:59:57,079 --> 00:59:59,360
other two members of the judgment day out on the floor.

1036
00:59:59,719 --> 01:00:01,719
It all always scares me when she does that, especially

1037
01:00:01,719 --> 01:00:03,920
when she does it on the side where the announcers are.

1038
01:00:04,440 --> 01:00:07,320
You know, I don't like that. You got that podium

1039
01:00:07,360 --> 01:00:08,760
there with the belt, you got the edge of the

1040
01:00:08,800 --> 01:00:11,880
announced desk. She always comes like so close to it.

1041
01:00:12,440 --> 01:00:13,880
She's gonna hit the back of her head on there.

1042
01:00:13,880 --> 01:00:18,559
One day, so she took them out, and then Soul

1043
01:00:19,079 --> 01:00:22,280
came out of nowhere and hit the soul snatcher to

1044
01:00:22,639 --> 01:00:24,960
put it away. I like how the camera angle for

1045
01:00:25,000 --> 01:00:28,239
this was zoomed out in the event that she fucks

1046
01:00:28,360 --> 01:00:31,280
up the move. I'm almost positive that's why they did that.

1047
01:00:32,239 --> 01:00:35,239
But she didn't fuck it up, she nailed it, and

1048
01:00:35,320 --> 01:00:39,519
she retains her championship. This was a solid match here

1049
01:00:39,559 --> 01:00:42,119
from these two. You know, if Soul was not so

1050
01:00:42,519 --> 01:00:46,400
early into her reign as champion, because she's had the

1051
01:00:46,440 --> 01:00:49,679
belt since what clash in Italy, I believe, so it's

1052
01:00:49,719 --> 01:00:54,320
been a little over a month, as sammy' zane weeps somewhere,

1053
01:00:55,239 --> 01:00:57,440
but she's still very early into this run. I would

1054
01:00:57,440 --> 01:01:00,199
say put the belt on Raquel, but the timing just

1055
01:01:00,280 --> 01:01:02,000
isn't right for it. I don't think the timing is

1056
01:01:02,079 --> 01:01:05,320
right anyway for this story that they seem to be telling.

1057
01:01:05,360 --> 01:01:07,679
What the Judgment Day. I always think like things are

1058
01:01:07,760 --> 01:01:10,880
going to finally blow up between Live and Raquel. And

1059
01:01:10,920 --> 01:01:12,519
the thing with the Judgment Day is they just they

1060
01:01:12,599 --> 01:01:16,199
drag everything out. Everything is just dragged out until it

1061
01:01:16,239 --> 01:01:19,679
either doesn't happen or it doesn't mean anything. And the

1062
01:01:19,760 --> 01:01:22,239
Judgment Day has been around now for literally for years.

1063
01:01:22,559 --> 01:01:25,079
I mean, you talk about a faction that has outlived

1064
01:01:25,119 --> 01:01:28,599
its usefulness. It was very useful for a while, very

1065
01:01:28,719 --> 01:01:36,199
very beneficial to Damian Priest where Ripley dom JD McDonough Raquel.

1066
01:01:36,599 --> 01:01:38,840
I think Raquel really benefited, you know, from being a

1067
01:01:38,880 --> 01:01:42,480
part of this crew. I mean it benefited Live. I

1068
01:01:42,519 --> 01:01:45,199
don't know that Live needed it per se. But again

1069
01:01:45,239 --> 01:01:48,360
it's it's mostly a women's faction. Now you know you

1070
01:01:48,440 --> 01:01:50,679
got Dom and you got JD and that's it, and

1071
01:01:50,719 --> 01:01:52,920
it's like all right, it's kind of like running on

1072
01:01:53,039 --> 01:01:59,559
fumes now. So we highlights of the brockles Ner Oba

1073
01:01:59,639 --> 01:02:03,559
Femi stuff from the show last week. When Obo was

1074
01:02:03,599 --> 01:02:06,440
about to talk about which championship he was going to

1075
01:02:06,559 --> 01:02:11,119
challenge for at Summerslim. Oh, psych, there will be no

1076
01:02:11,199 --> 01:02:13,400
title match for him at Summer Slim. He will challenge

1077
01:02:13,440 --> 01:02:16,320
brock Lesnar inside hell in his cell. So fuck the

1078
01:02:16,360 --> 01:02:20,639
King of the Ring. We come back live after a break.

1079
01:02:20,800 --> 01:02:23,199
Paul Hayman is already in the ring. He's by himself.

1080
01:02:23,400 --> 01:02:25,760
He says, I'm out here to talk about now. I

1081
01:02:25,760 --> 01:02:29,760
gotta say it the way he says it, Oba fem me.

1082
01:02:30,440 --> 01:02:32,320
I love how Hayman talks to us like we're all

1083
01:02:32,360 --> 01:02:36,280
four years old. He's been doing this for years. We're

1084
01:02:36,280 --> 01:02:40,159
all toddlers. So he has to over enunciate every single

1085
01:02:40,199 --> 01:02:43,519
word and stretch for time as he cuts these promos.

1086
01:02:44,159 --> 01:02:46,199
Paul Haman is the best guy you could possibly send

1087
01:02:46,199 --> 01:02:49,679
out there to do promos in WWE because he I mean,

1088
01:02:49,719 --> 01:02:52,280
he could talk all night, but he doesn't even have

1089
01:02:52,360 --> 01:02:54,239
to have a lot to say. He just says it

1090
01:02:54,280 --> 01:02:59,440
really really slow, you know, and pauses a lot. So

1091
01:02:59,519 --> 01:03:03,480
he's out here talk about Oba Femi. Oba came into

1092
01:03:03,639 --> 01:03:06,840
WWE like he owns the joint, which he does. He

1093
01:03:07,000 --> 01:03:11,519
saunters down the aisle like he's King Schlong. That's what

1094
01:03:11,559 --> 01:03:16,760
he called him, King Schlong until he got punted in

1095
01:03:16,840 --> 01:03:20,159
the Little Femis by brock Lesnar. But the bad news

1096
01:03:20,159 --> 01:03:22,559
for Oba is that's nothing compared to the pain he's

1097
01:03:22,599 --> 01:03:27,880
going to suffer inside hell in a cell. Yes, Aaron

1098
01:03:27,960 --> 01:03:31,719
says Paul Hayman's promos are at zero point five speed.

1099
01:03:32,840 --> 01:03:35,239
It's a good point. They are. They are at half speed.

1100
01:03:41,480 --> 01:03:44,119
And lives in a relationship. So she's breaking up with

1101
01:03:44,159 --> 01:03:46,079
Dom on TV, guarantee, What does that have to do

1102
01:03:46,119 --> 01:03:49,000
with anything? You know, how many people are in relationships

1103
01:03:49,079 --> 01:03:51,280
on TV and real life at the same time. That

1104
01:03:51,320 --> 01:03:54,639
doesn't mean anything, Maxine dupre I think she might be married.

1105
01:03:56,400 --> 01:03:59,480
If not, I know, she's definitely in a relationship. And

1106
01:03:59,519 --> 01:04:02,679
there she is on TV. She's, you know, playing tonsil

1107
01:04:02,719 --> 01:04:08,679
hockey with Austin theory doesn't mean anything. They'll keep LIVDM

1108
01:04:08,760 --> 01:04:15,800
together for another year if they want to. So. Obafemi,

1109
01:04:15,880 --> 01:04:20,079
he says, has inspired Brocklesner. Obafemi has compelled the beast

1110
01:04:20,119 --> 01:04:24,039
to emerge from brock Lesner. Obafemi has motivated brock Lesner.

1111
01:04:24,239 --> 01:04:27,880
He has made Oba has the biggest mistake of his

1112
01:04:28,000 --> 01:04:32,039
life by accepting this challenge. You're not coming out of

1113
01:04:32,079 --> 01:04:35,119
helen a cell. He said, no way, no how, brock

1114
01:04:35,239 --> 01:04:39,159
Lesner will destroy Obafemi inside Helen is cell. And then

1115
01:04:39,199 --> 01:04:42,039
he flipped his mic like he was about to leave.

1116
01:04:42,840 --> 01:04:46,960
So again he said nothing. He said nothing in this promo.

1117
01:04:47,119 --> 01:04:51,159
He's about to leave and the lights go out. Oba

1118
01:04:51,199 --> 01:04:56,519
comes out and he struts down to the ring and

1119
01:04:56,559 --> 01:04:58,360
he said he felt bad for Paul. He wanted to

1120
01:04:58,400 --> 01:05:00,000
at least give him a face that he could talk

1121
01:05:00,119 --> 01:05:02,960
to when he's out here. Hayman said, Oba learned last

1122
01:05:03,000 --> 01:05:06,960
week talk shit, get hit, but he'll talk facts. You

1123
01:05:07,039 --> 01:05:11,239
know why I'm valuable because I prevent people from making

1124
01:05:11,320 --> 01:05:15,440
bad mistakes. Not at WrestleMania, he said, at WrestleMania, you

1125
01:05:15,559 --> 01:05:19,559
prove to the world that brock Lesner is beatable. And

1126
01:05:19,599 --> 01:05:22,800
then in Italy, brock Lesner proved that Oba Femi is

1127
01:05:22,840 --> 01:05:27,199
also beatable. So now comes the trilogy match, and they

1128
01:05:27,239 --> 01:05:29,119
have to find out which one of them goes on

1129
01:05:29,760 --> 01:05:34,079
to be that unbeatable superstar, even though they've both already

1130
01:05:34,079 --> 01:05:37,559
been beaten. So let's examine who's stepping into the cell.

1131
01:05:37,599 --> 01:05:40,559
He says, Oba is stepping into the cell with Brock Lesner,

1132
01:05:40,719 --> 01:05:44,079
who was a UFC heavyweight champion. There's no one who

1133
01:05:44,119 --> 01:05:48,119
fights in a cage like Brock Lesner. He ended the

1134
01:05:48,199 --> 01:05:52,239
Undertakers on defeated streak at WrestleMania. Undertaker the man who

1135
01:05:52,320 --> 01:05:55,400
invented hell and his cell, and Brock didn't just beat

1136
01:05:55,440 --> 01:05:58,199
him once inside the cell, he beat the Undertaker twice

1137
01:05:59,320 --> 01:06:03,519
inside hell cell. Oba didn't accept a challenge for a

1138
01:06:03,639 --> 01:06:07,760
cage or for a cell. That cell is the broctagon,

1139
01:06:08,599 --> 01:06:12,039
and inside that broctagon, Lesner is the bringer of pain,

1140
01:06:12,800 --> 01:06:17,119
the beast Oba cannot beat, the mountain that Oba cannot climb.

1141
01:06:17,480 --> 01:06:20,880
Only one man will leave SummerSlam with that reputation intact

1142
01:06:21,119 --> 01:06:24,599
that he is truly the unbeatable superstar in WWE, and

1143
01:06:24,639 --> 01:06:27,440
that man is Brock Lesner. And the beatable one is

1144
01:06:27,519 --> 01:06:32,559
going to be Oba Femi. And again Hayman chucked the microphone,

1145
01:06:33,719 --> 01:06:37,079
Oba said. Brock Lesner showed up last week. After weeks

1146
01:06:38,000 --> 01:06:42,760
of Oba calling him out and calling him names, Brock

1147
01:06:42,840 --> 01:06:45,880
finally shows up. He says, that tells me that every

1148
01:06:45,920 --> 01:06:49,840
word that I said got to him, every single thing

1149
01:06:49,880 --> 01:06:52,039
I said about him got under his skin. And now

1150
01:06:52,079 --> 01:06:54,760
he can pretend like he doesn't watch the show. The

1151
01:06:54,840 --> 01:06:58,159
fact that he showed up tells me he definitely watches

1152
01:06:58,239 --> 01:07:01,280
the show. Uh oh, but I got news for you.

1153
01:07:01,559 --> 01:07:05,119
He don't watch the show. He definitely doesn't watch the show.

1154
01:07:05,960 --> 01:07:10,639
But then Hayman here is doing his usual damage control,

1155
01:07:10,679 --> 01:07:13,239
and he's writing all of these checks that Brock probably

1156
01:07:13,280 --> 01:07:16,480
can't even cash. Hayman is less than an advocate. He's

1157
01:07:16,599 --> 01:07:20,000
just a mouth. And that's the thing about a mouth.

1158
01:07:20,239 --> 01:07:23,519
Mouths need to be fed, But how can you feed

1159
01:07:23,559 --> 01:07:25,400
one if you have no head. I don't know if

1160
01:07:25,400 --> 01:07:29,199
he was trying to rhyme here. I have some Doctor

1161
01:07:29,239 --> 01:07:33,079
Seuss shit going on here. He's out here talking about

1162
01:07:33,159 --> 01:07:36,360
Randy Catore and the Undertaker when neither of those men

1163
01:07:36,559 --> 01:07:40,360
are Oba Femi. Hayman is scared. Every man knows when

1164
01:07:40,400 --> 01:07:43,000
his time has come, whether it's the beginning or the end,

1165
01:07:43,039 --> 01:07:45,400
and he goes, trust me, Paul, this is the end.

1166
01:07:45,800 --> 01:07:48,960
This is the final chapter. This is where the book closes.

1167
01:07:49,440 --> 01:07:51,960
And what bigger stage to do it than summerslim in

1168
01:07:51,960 --> 01:07:54,639
Minneapolis in front of his friends, in front of his family,

1169
01:07:54,679 --> 01:07:57,960
in front of Brock's wife. He'll beat him in front

1170
01:07:57,960 --> 01:08:02,719
of his children. And he's learned a very valuable lesson.

1171
01:08:02,760 --> 01:08:05,000
You have to walk through hell to get to heaven.

1172
01:08:06,079 --> 01:08:10,719
So tell your client, I'll see him in hell. So

1173
01:08:10,840 --> 01:08:15,320
good promo, the Hayman stuff, by Hayman's standards, was very

1174
01:08:15,639 --> 01:08:19,920
paint by numbers. OPA's a very good promo. It's one

1175
01:08:19,920 --> 01:08:21,960
thing that he has showed on the main roster this year.

1176
01:08:22,640 --> 01:08:25,439
You know, he doesn't come across as being timid. He doesn't,

1177
01:08:25,520 --> 01:08:29,279
you know, seem to get nervous or lose his train

1178
01:08:29,319 --> 01:08:32,000
of thought or trip over his words or anything like that.

1179
01:08:32,079 --> 01:08:37,399
He's very he's very focused. He brings a level of

1180
01:08:37,439 --> 01:08:41,920
intensity to his promos that not everybody does. And again,

1181
01:08:42,079 --> 01:08:44,000
he's a very intimidating guy to look at if you're

1182
01:08:44,039 --> 01:08:45,960
in the ring with him, right, I mean, you might

1183
01:08:46,039 --> 01:08:48,119
shit a brick if a guy like that was getting

1184
01:08:48,159 --> 01:08:51,359
really really pissed off at you, Right, he plays the

1185
01:08:51,359 --> 01:08:54,479
part well, he carries himself well, so I thought this

1186
01:08:54,600 --> 01:08:56,039
was good. Now brock is going to be back on

1187
01:08:56,079 --> 01:08:58,239
the show next week, so we'll see, you know, if

1188
01:08:58,239 --> 01:09:00,439
there's any sort of physical interaction or do we just

1189
01:09:00,439 --> 01:09:04,319
get another very basic, you know, Paul Hayman Brock Lesnar promo.

1190
01:09:05,680 --> 01:09:08,319
If you've seen one, you pretty much seen most of them.

1191
01:09:08,680 --> 01:09:11,520
I thought when Lesner was on the show last week,

1192
01:09:12,680 --> 01:09:14,159
not that he had a ton to say, but I

1193
01:09:14,199 --> 01:09:16,279
actually thought his delivery and everything was one of the

1194
01:09:16,279 --> 01:09:19,640
better Brock Lesnar promos that I've ever seen, which is

1195
01:09:19,680 --> 01:09:23,520
wild considering how long he's been around for. We'll see

1196
01:09:23,560 --> 01:09:25,680
what he does on the show next week. At least

1197
01:09:25,680 --> 01:09:29,680
they'll be back in the same building. In the back,

1198
01:09:30,479 --> 01:09:34,119
Sammy's ain was taping up his fists. He was getting

1199
01:09:34,159 --> 01:09:37,079
ready for the main event tonight. Jackie Redman broke the

1200
01:09:37,079 --> 01:09:39,399
news to him that it's now been confirmed Cody Rhoades

1201
01:09:39,439 --> 01:09:43,960
will not be medically cleared for the main event. Sammy

1202
01:09:44,039 --> 01:09:49,680
was shocked. His mouth was a gape. He asked her,

1203
01:09:49,760 --> 01:09:53,079
is he really out? He goes that's terrible. I was

1204
01:09:53,079 --> 01:09:57,079
looking forward to testing myself against QB one, but he

1205
01:09:57,119 --> 01:09:59,800
goes this night. Honestly felt cursed from the start, and

1206
01:09:59,840 --> 01:10:01,399
to to be honest with you, I'm not sure why

1207
01:10:01,439 --> 01:10:03,399
I had to defend my title on raw to begin with.

1208
01:10:04,359 --> 01:10:07,960
So it's best to wait until Friday and we'll regroup.

1209
01:10:08,920 --> 01:10:12,239
Adam Pierce walks in, he tells him, we promised the

1210
01:10:12,279 --> 01:10:15,000
fans in Chicago a championship match, and that's what we're

1211
01:10:15,039 --> 01:10:20,039
going to give them. So it is official. And so

1212
01:10:20,119 --> 01:10:22,760
at that point you could hear the CM Punk Chance

1213
01:10:23,199 --> 01:10:26,079
ring out inside the arena. It was it was very

1214
01:10:26,119 --> 01:10:31,439
clear where this was headed. And the fans of the building,

1215
01:10:31,439 --> 01:10:33,960
they were here for it, they were waiting for it.

1216
01:10:35,560 --> 01:10:39,079
We had Chad Gable and Dragon Lee against Ethan Page

1217
01:10:39,199 --> 01:10:43,800
and Russev. We got Rusev day chance. Who chanced that anymore?

1218
01:10:45,920 --> 01:10:49,000
Why are we getting Rusev day chance in twenty twenty six?

1219
01:10:50,560 --> 01:10:52,600
So there was a crazy spot here ahead of the

1220
01:10:52,600 --> 01:10:55,479
commercial break where Gable gave Dragon Lee an overhead belly

1221
01:10:55,479 --> 01:10:58,000
to belly out of the ring and he wiped out

1222
01:10:58,039 --> 01:11:01,439
russevn Page on the landing outside the heels got the

1223
01:11:01,439 --> 01:11:03,399
heat on Gable for a while until he made the

1224
01:11:03,399 --> 01:11:07,239
hot tag to Dragonly Lee caught a Page with a

1225
01:11:07,279 --> 01:11:10,319
tornado DDT. At one point, he missed the ropes as

1226
01:11:10,359 --> 01:11:12,680
he was trying to push off the ropes. He missed him,

1227
01:11:13,359 --> 01:11:15,920
and somehow he was able to build up enough momentum

1228
01:11:15,960 --> 01:11:19,680
to spin around and hit the DDT anyway. Lee hung

1229
01:11:19,720 --> 01:11:22,039
Page upside down and then came off the top with

1230
01:11:22,079 --> 01:11:24,960
a double stomp. Things broke down at this point. Gable

1231
01:11:25,479 --> 01:11:28,600
caught Page with an angle slam, Russev hit him with

1232
01:11:28,640 --> 01:11:32,279
a Machka kick. Dragon Lee caught Russev with a snap German.

1233
01:11:32,720 --> 01:11:35,279
He came off the top rope. Russev caught him on

1234
01:11:35,319 --> 01:11:39,399
the way down and planted him with a Urinagi. Russev

1235
01:11:39,479 --> 01:11:41,680
hit him Maschka kick and then locked in the accolade

1236
01:11:41,800 --> 01:11:47,800
and Dragonly very quickly tapped out. I can't believe that

1237
01:11:47,880 --> 01:11:49,800
Russev won a match. See, I should give that. I'm

1238
01:11:49,800 --> 01:11:51,119
not gonna do it, but I should. I should give

1239
01:11:51,119 --> 01:11:56,079
this the the air horn for that alone, Russev actually

1240
01:11:56,119 --> 01:12:01,159
won a match on TV. It's pretty transparent why that is.

1241
01:12:01,880 --> 01:12:03,520
They want you to believe that he is going to

1242
01:12:03,560 --> 01:12:06,159
be the monster that's just gonna tear through this gauntlet

1243
01:12:06,239 --> 01:12:09,399
next week, so it's like, oh, we better give him

1244
01:12:09,399 --> 01:12:12,000
a wing on TV. We better give this guy some credibility.

1245
01:12:12,039 --> 01:12:14,399
We haven't been doing much of that lately, so at

1246
01:12:14,479 --> 01:12:16,239
least here they made him look like a monster. He

1247
01:12:16,279 --> 01:12:19,439
won the match. When the match was over, he refused

1248
01:12:19,439 --> 01:12:21,920
to release the hold. Gable came in. He tried to

1249
01:12:21,960 --> 01:12:26,119
help break it up. Ethan Page jumped Gable, russev denlock

1250
01:12:26,199 --> 01:12:29,600
Gable and the Accolade, but Joe Hendry ran out to

1251
01:12:29,600 --> 01:12:33,039
make the save. Now they played his music. He came

1252
01:12:33,079 --> 01:12:36,039
out from the back. He raced down to the ring.

1253
01:12:37,000 --> 01:12:39,800
This is not a proper entrance, but it's the closest

1254
01:12:39,800 --> 01:12:42,319
thing to an actual entrance that Joe Hendry has been

1255
01:12:42,359 --> 01:12:45,399
given since he debuted on this show a few months ago.

1256
01:12:45,600 --> 01:12:48,720
It's the first time that I can remember his music

1257
01:12:48,800 --> 01:12:54,399
actually being hit and him coming out. It's July. I

1258
01:12:54,399 --> 01:12:57,000
don't know why it took this long, but he ran

1259
01:12:57,079 --> 01:13:00,159
down to the ring. He got inside, and he very

1260
01:13:00,239 --> 01:13:02,479
quickly got overwhelmed. I mean he got a few moves off,

1261
01:13:02,520 --> 01:13:05,319
he did the fallaway slam. They did the camera zoom

1262
01:13:05,399 --> 01:13:09,520
in on him. He was setting up for I think

1263
01:13:09,520 --> 01:13:11,439
the standing ovation. I don't know. It almost looked like

1264
01:13:11,439 --> 01:13:13,039
he was gonna give him a rock Bottom or something.

1265
01:13:13,079 --> 01:13:16,640
But anyway, he got overwhelmed and he ended up being

1266
01:13:16,800 --> 01:13:20,960
trapped in the accolade as well. This was a good match,

1267
01:13:21,640 --> 01:13:25,239
like this was a good tag team match. They kept

1268
01:13:25,319 --> 01:13:29,079
Russev strong because he's in this gauntlet next week and

1269
01:13:29,239 --> 01:13:33,359
he clearly is going to be the destroyer. Right, He's

1270
01:13:33,399 --> 01:13:36,960
not going to win. But if let's say Gable, who

1271
01:13:37,000 --> 01:13:39,000
I think Gable should open the gauntlet. I mean Gable

1272
01:13:39,000 --> 01:13:41,399
should be one or two, but they have seven guys

1273
01:13:41,399 --> 01:13:44,159
in this gauntlet. If Gable is anything but one or two,

1274
01:13:44,159 --> 01:13:47,039
I think it's a mistake. You I think would want

1275
01:13:47,119 --> 01:13:50,079
him to work from underneath and have to overgo maybe

1276
01:13:50,079 --> 01:13:52,279
not number one necessarily doesn't have to be number one,

1277
01:13:52,880 --> 01:13:54,800
but he should have to overcome a shit ton of

1278
01:13:54,960 --> 01:13:57,920
adversity in this gauntlet, and he'll have to run through

1279
01:13:58,000 --> 01:14:01,079
Russev at some point. They just wanted to build him

1280
01:14:01,119 --> 01:14:03,640
up strong. But again, there's only one option for this gallet.

1281
01:14:04,479 --> 01:14:07,680
It's gotta be Gable, Gotta be get That could be

1282
01:14:07,720 --> 01:14:12,640
his new catchphrase, It's gotta be Gable. You get one

1283
01:14:12,640 --> 01:14:19,039
shot at this Minneapolis SummerSlam, the title that he could

1284
01:14:19,079 --> 01:14:24,399
never win, right, Seamus will never get his moment, Chad

1285
01:14:24,439 --> 01:14:28,359
Gable should get his for the IC title and plus

1286
01:14:28,920 --> 01:14:31,399
Chad Gable and Penta is a singles match at Summer Slam.

1287
01:14:31,479 --> 01:14:34,560
Is fucking awesome. That was Pentce's first match on TV

1288
01:14:34,600 --> 01:14:37,359
when he debuted was against Gable. Talk about a full

1289
01:14:37,359 --> 01:14:40,720
circle moment. What a great match that would be. We

1290
01:14:40,800 --> 01:14:46,279
got highlights of La Knight beating Jimmy Usso on Raw

1291
01:14:46,439 --> 01:14:51,800
last week with an unexpected assist from Solo Socoa, and

1292
01:14:51,840 --> 01:14:54,359
then they showed the super kick from earlier tonight when

1293
01:14:54,439 --> 01:14:58,399
Jimmy's superkick Knight in the face backstage live. Jackie Redman

1294
01:14:58,479 --> 01:15:01,039
is actually outside the building. She's racing to catch up

1295
01:15:01,039 --> 01:15:04,119
with Jimmy as he was leaving, and she asked him

1296
01:15:04,159 --> 01:15:07,199
what kind of message were you trying to send? And

1297
01:15:07,319 --> 01:15:10,319
Jimmy said, it's time for Big Jim to step up

1298
01:15:10,359 --> 01:15:13,119
for the Bloodline. He's going to go to SmackDown to

1299
01:15:13,159 --> 01:15:16,760
get his hands on Solo Soca. La Knight could be

1300
01:15:16,800 --> 01:15:20,319
seen coming out of the building. He's in the background.

1301
01:15:20,359 --> 01:15:23,760
He's coming towards Jimmy. Before he could get to him, though,

1302
01:15:23,800 --> 01:15:26,640
he gets cut off by Jacob Fatu who comes from

1303
01:15:26,640 --> 01:15:30,119
out of nowhere and he lays Night out on the ground.

1304
01:15:30,359 --> 01:15:34,199
Jimmy and Jacob they left together, clearly operating on the

1305
01:15:34,239 --> 01:15:38,239
same page. So it looks like La Night he's gonna

1306
01:15:38,239 --> 01:15:41,720
need some help if he wants to fight back here

1307
01:15:41,760 --> 01:15:48,600
against the Bloodline and enter Solo's Socoa and enter Royce Keys.

1308
01:15:48,720 --> 01:15:50,640
That's what we're gonna get at SummerSlam. We're gonna get

1309
01:15:50,640 --> 01:15:53,840
a six man tag team match because La Knight and

1310
01:15:53,880 --> 01:15:57,359
Solo Socoa they're all by themselves even though they want

1311
01:15:57,359 --> 01:16:02,359
to have anything to do with each other, right strange.

1312
01:16:02,600 --> 01:16:07,239
Speaking of strange, strange, strange bedfellows, that's going to be

1313
01:16:07,279 --> 01:16:09,680
a tag team at Summerslin. They're gonna wrestle Jacob Fatu

1314
01:16:09,720 --> 01:16:14,760
and the Ussos. It's not official yet. By the way,

1315
01:16:15,000 --> 01:16:17,560
I may as well mention this here. No jay Usso

1316
01:16:17,720 --> 01:16:21,000
on this show. He is dealing with a personal matter

1317
01:16:22,079 --> 01:16:26,079
that broke today on TMZ, so you can look that

1318
01:16:26,239 --> 01:16:29,520
up if you care to do so. But no yeat

1319
01:16:30,359 --> 01:16:34,880
for jay Uso. We had a video promo from Bailey

1320
01:16:35,680 --> 01:16:38,520
where she talked about how Lyra Valkyria waited in line

1321
01:16:38,560 --> 01:16:40,760
for hours to meet her when she was younger, and

1322
01:16:40,760 --> 01:16:44,560
they even had the photo Lyra became her best friend

1323
01:16:45,319 --> 01:16:47,039
and was there for her during one of the toughest

1324
01:16:47,119 --> 01:16:49,640
years of her career. Helped her become the best version

1325
01:16:49,640 --> 01:16:53,800
of herself every single week. She never questioned Lyra's trust

1326
01:16:53,840 --> 01:16:57,439
and wanted to help her. They couldn't have an honest conversation.

1327
01:16:57,640 --> 01:17:00,920
She took the easy way out. Bailey is gonna give

1328
01:17:01,000 --> 01:17:04,079
Lyra one chance to show that she's not like everybody

1329
01:17:04,119 --> 01:17:07,560
else and meet her in the ring next week. And

1330
01:17:07,600 --> 01:17:11,479
so for RAW next week in Dallas, they have announced.

1331
01:17:12,439 --> 01:17:17,119
This always pops me when they do this. Roman Reigns returns.

1332
01:17:17,960 --> 01:17:20,199
How many returns are we up to over the past

1333
01:17:20,279 --> 01:17:25,520
year for Roman Reigns, Like he misses one week, maybe two,

1334
01:17:27,159 --> 01:17:29,720
and then he's back and it's like the return of

1335
01:17:29,840 --> 01:17:32,800
Roman Raigns, the return of Roman Reigns. I mean, he

1336
01:17:32,880 --> 01:17:35,720
hasn't been gone for that long, the return of Roman Reigns.

1337
01:17:36,039 --> 01:17:39,960
So he'll return again next week. Braka Lesner will also

1338
01:17:40,000 --> 01:17:43,680
be back. That'll be in Houston. We have the Gauntlet,

1339
01:17:43,920 --> 01:17:46,119
as I mentioned, and then we have Roxane Perez is

1340
01:17:46,119 --> 01:17:49,079
gonna wrestle Eo Sky and I guess Bailey is going

1341
01:17:49,119 --> 01:17:52,760
to wait for Lyra Valkyria to come out to confront her,

1342
01:17:52,760 --> 01:17:57,039
and we'll get our first real opportunity to see Lyra

1343
01:17:57,960 --> 01:18:00,840
like in a live in ring promo setting as a heel.

1344
01:18:01,680 --> 01:18:04,319
I'm very curious if she's got the chops to be

1345
01:18:04,399 --> 01:18:06,439
a heel. I don't know the WWE is going to

1346
01:18:06,479 --> 01:18:08,520
really give her the opportunity to really run with it.

1347
01:18:09,359 --> 01:18:11,119
They're not giving her a whole lot of TV time

1348
01:18:11,159 --> 01:18:13,880
to begin with. I don't see Lyra as a heel.

1349
01:18:14,720 --> 01:18:16,680
I would like to see if she can make this work.

1350
01:18:17,760 --> 01:18:20,319
I'm curious what kind of heel she's going to portray.

1351
01:18:21,199 --> 01:18:23,279
In the back, Nick all this walked up to Adam Pears,

1352
01:18:23,319 --> 01:18:27,359
he's still hanging around, said that I placed a phone

1353
01:18:27,399 --> 01:18:31,159
call to a certain someone while you're off talking to nobody,

1354
01:18:31,800 --> 01:18:34,399
and I found a replacement for Cody Rhoades in the

1355
01:18:34,439 --> 01:18:37,720
main event tonight. That superstar is in the building right now.

1356
01:18:38,960 --> 01:18:43,119
All Adam needs to do is say you're welcome. And

1357
01:18:43,119 --> 01:18:47,520
that led into our main event and the Champion entered first,

1358
01:18:48,399 --> 01:18:52,279
his one and only entrance for a match as the

1359
01:18:52,399 --> 01:18:56,359
WWE Champion. I hope he soaked it up. I hope

1360
01:18:56,359 --> 01:18:58,680
he enjoyed it. As he made his way down to

1361
01:18:58,720 --> 01:19:01,840
the ring, it was Sammy's saying. He gets in the ring,

1362
01:19:02,239 --> 01:19:06,560
the music stops. Who's it gonna be? Chance? Ring out

1363
01:19:06,560 --> 01:19:10,560
in the arena of CM Punk. They cut to the

1364
01:19:10,600 --> 01:19:14,199
back and of course it is cmpunk. He was standing

1365
01:19:14,239 --> 01:19:18,039
outside the arena, like right where the SUVs and everything

1366
01:19:18,079 --> 01:19:20,159
come down the ramp and pull into the building. I

1367
01:19:20,159 --> 01:19:22,319
think the door was down and they kind of raised

1368
01:19:22,359 --> 01:19:26,319
the garage door and he's standing there in his wrestling gear,

1369
01:19:27,359 --> 01:19:31,800
no music, and he starts to walk through the back.

1370
01:19:31,920 --> 01:19:34,880
Finally they hit his music. Everybody in the building is

1371
01:19:35,239 --> 01:19:42,479
losing their minds. He comes out just an electric entrance

1372
01:19:43,000 --> 01:19:46,520
place going nuts. His first appearance since the Raw after WrestleMania,

1373
01:19:46,520 --> 01:19:49,600
and they're in Chicago. So he gets in the ring

1374
01:19:49,680 --> 01:19:53,760
and things got a little salty. Sammy got up in

1375
01:19:53,800 --> 01:19:57,119
his face, he kind of face washed him. Referee had

1376
01:19:57,119 --> 01:19:59,319
to get in between them. He took the championship, he

1377
01:19:59,319 --> 01:20:01,760
held it up for all all to see, rang the bell,

1378
01:20:02,439 --> 01:20:06,359
and the crowd was just again. They were molten hot

1379
01:20:06,479 --> 01:20:09,880
here for the beginning of this match. And this is

1380
01:20:09,920 --> 01:20:13,039
where I noticed, Oh shit, they got the pyro set

1381
01:20:13,119 --> 01:20:16,840
up on stage. They're not setting the pyro up for

1382
01:20:16,880 --> 01:20:20,479
sam Be's aying to retain the WWE title. So right there,

1383
01:20:20,520 --> 01:20:23,239
I mean, if I didn't already know, right there, I

1384
01:20:23,319 --> 01:20:26,520
knew this is not gonna end well for Sammy's ain,

1385
01:20:27,520 --> 01:20:32,359
it is. It is preordained. So for those curious, for

1386
01:20:32,399 --> 01:20:34,680
those who may not have seen the show yet, you

1387
01:20:34,760 --> 01:20:36,920
remember there were a lot of stories about CM Punk

1388
01:20:36,960 --> 01:20:41,239
and his physical condition and Jim photos going around from

1389
01:20:41,279 --> 01:20:43,720
people who were just being creepers and taking pictures of

1390
01:20:43,800 --> 01:20:47,039
him at the gym without him knowing, talking about oh

1391
01:20:47,039 --> 01:20:49,600
my god, Punk is swollen. Man. Look at Punk. He's

1392
01:20:49,640 --> 01:20:54,119
all jacked up. He's on steroids, this guy. But we

1393
01:20:54,239 --> 01:20:56,560
know what he's been doing in his time off. And

1394
01:20:56,640 --> 01:20:59,520
it was just soberdging and I said, wait until Punk

1395
01:20:59,560 --> 01:21:01,960
comes back. And he doesn't look really any different than

1396
01:21:02,000 --> 01:21:04,640
he did the last time we saw him. I can't

1397
01:21:04,680 --> 01:21:09,159
tell you he looks. He doesn't look like fucking Bruce Banner. Okay,

1398
01:21:09,520 --> 01:21:13,319
he doesn't look radically different. He's in good shape. He

1399
01:21:13,359 --> 01:21:15,279
clearly has not just been sitting at home on the

1400
01:21:15,319 --> 01:21:17,960
couch eating ice cream for the past two months. He's

1401
01:21:17,960 --> 01:21:22,239
been putting the work it. He's in good shape. Nothing outrageous,

1402
01:21:22,920 --> 01:21:26,319
nothing like all these dingbats online. Oh he's uh, you know,

1403
01:21:27,000 --> 01:21:30,560
he's shooting up. You know, he's a wrestler who's in

1404
01:21:30,600 --> 01:21:37,119
good shape. News at eleven there was a commercial break

1405
01:21:37,159 --> 01:21:40,279
here in the middle of his main event, and after

1406
01:21:40,319 --> 01:21:44,760
the break, Punk was looking for the GTS. Sammy slipped

1407
01:21:44,760 --> 01:21:50,039
out standing switched by Punk into a big clothesline, and

1408
01:21:50,239 --> 01:21:53,520
I mean he reached deep for that one. Only got

1409
01:21:53,520 --> 01:21:56,560
a two count loud cm Punk chance as he made

1410
01:21:56,560 --> 01:21:58,760
the slow climb up to the top, Sammy, they'll cut

1411
01:21:58,800 --> 01:22:02,359
him off, and Samy took him down with a massive superplex.

1412
01:22:02,920 --> 01:22:07,319
This then took us into a second commercial break in

1413
01:22:07,359 --> 01:22:09,319
the middle of this main event. And I'm like, dude,

1414
01:22:09,399 --> 01:22:12,479
they have got to do I have no problem with

1415
01:22:12,520 --> 01:22:15,199
there being ads. It's kind of the necessary evil. I

1416
01:22:15,239 --> 01:22:18,279
get it. You got to do a better job of

1417
01:22:18,960 --> 01:22:22,600
spreading this shit out, like you can't be doing this

1418
01:22:22,680 --> 01:22:24,960
during your main events. You know, you got a two

1419
01:22:25,000 --> 01:22:28,079
and a half hour show here. This is your main event.

1420
01:22:29,039 --> 01:22:31,800
I'm sure that, And maybe it would make things a

1421
01:22:31,840 --> 01:22:34,119
little miserable in other parts of the show if you

1422
01:22:34,119 --> 01:22:36,279
had to move things around. If they even have control

1423
01:22:36,319 --> 01:22:39,000
over it, I don't know, But in the middle of

1424
01:22:39,039 --> 01:22:42,159
the main event, dude, like come on, man, come on.

1425
01:22:42,800 --> 01:22:44,640
I will say this. It is one thing I will

1426
01:22:44,640 --> 01:22:47,520
always give Russo credit for because he's talked about this before.

1427
01:22:47,520 --> 01:22:49,239
And it's true if you think back to those main

1428
01:22:49,239 --> 01:22:51,439
events in the Attitude era, and we had some big

1429
01:22:51,479 --> 01:22:54,479
television matches in the Attitude era on TV, and it's

1430
01:22:54,520 --> 01:22:59,680
not like those shows didn't have commercials. Very rarely, if ever,

1431
01:23:00,640 --> 01:23:03,640
did they have commercials during the main event. And I

1432
01:23:03,640 --> 01:23:06,479
think he even said, like to the extent that he

1433
01:23:06,880 --> 01:23:09,600
had any sing in the matter, because he wasn't a

1434
01:23:09,640 --> 01:23:12,560
TV guy. He would make sure there were no main

1435
01:23:12,600 --> 01:23:15,800
event breaks like you have big like Stone Cold Undertaker

1436
01:23:15,840 --> 01:23:17,720
main event. They weren't going to fucking commercial in the

1437
01:23:17,720 --> 01:23:19,319
middle of the match, you know what I mean. Like,

1438
01:23:19,319 --> 01:23:22,399
there were just some matches that you should not constantly

1439
01:23:22,439 --> 01:23:25,520
be interrupting, and I just wish they would do a

1440
01:23:25,560 --> 01:23:28,640
better job of spreading it out. Now. Look, I I'm

1441
01:23:28,720 --> 01:23:32,359
using the ExpressVPN, so I can see what goes down

1442
01:23:32,439 --> 01:23:34,880
during the commercial breaks, but it's still ridiculous for the

1443
01:23:34,880 --> 01:23:39,560
people who don't. Sammy came off the ropes. This was

1444
01:23:39,640 --> 01:23:43,159
during the break. Came off the ropes and Punk Drop

1445
01:23:43,239 --> 01:23:46,359
kicked him out of mid air on the way down.

1446
01:23:48,079 --> 01:23:50,079
Then Punk came off the top with a high cross

1447
01:23:50,119 --> 01:23:52,279
body for a near fall, and then the two of

1448
01:23:52,319 --> 01:23:56,000
them had a collision, ribs first coming off the ropes

1449
01:23:56,039 --> 01:23:58,760
at the same time just as the break ended. So

1450
01:23:58,800 --> 01:24:04,479
when they came back live, both men were down. I

1451
01:24:04,560 --> 01:24:07,399
just realized I used the word collision when I was

1452
01:24:07,640 --> 01:24:10,159
talking about CM Punk here, and now Sammy's Ain is

1453
01:24:10,760 --> 01:24:15,159
banned from collision? Is that joke still still things? Is

1454
01:24:15,199 --> 01:24:20,640
that joke still work in twenty twenty six. So now

1455
01:24:20,680 --> 01:24:23,159
they're slugging it out from their knees. Now they're on

1456
01:24:23,199 --> 01:24:27,159
their feet. He's going for a GTS but nope, Slammy Slammy.

1457
01:24:27,359 --> 01:24:30,760
Well I like that Slammy's Ain. He elbows his way out.

1458
01:24:31,199 --> 01:24:34,199
He went for a blue thunderbomb that got stuffed. Punk

1459
01:24:34,279 --> 01:24:37,079
hit the step up knee in the corner. He was

1460
01:24:37,079 --> 01:24:39,680
going for the running Bulldog, but Sammy turned it into

1461
01:24:39,680 --> 01:24:42,600
a blue thunderbomb for a near fall, and it didn't

1462
01:24:42,640 --> 01:24:44,880
look pretty. He had to really muscle him up for

1463
01:24:44,920 --> 01:24:47,560
that one, but he did land it. So then there

1464
01:24:47,600 --> 01:24:50,640
was another step up knee by Punk and he hit

1465
01:24:50,680 --> 01:24:55,119
the running Bulldog. Now Punk races to the top in

1466
01:24:55,159 --> 01:24:59,199
his Hitman colors, as Michael Cole said, and he hit

1467
01:24:59,239 --> 01:25:03,840
the very un hit man like diving elbow. Brett. To

1468
01:25:03,920 --> 01:25:06,560
be fair, there were times where Brett would hit a

1469
01:25:06,640 --> 01:25:10,479
diving elbow from the middle rope. I mean he did

1470
01:25:10,520 --> 01:25:13,159
the okay, So to be fair, he did the diving

1471
01:25:13,199 --> 01:25:15,640
elbow from the middle rope in pretty much every match,

1472
01:25:15,960 --> 01:25:17,560
and then he would do it in a different way

1473
01:25:17,600 --> 01:25:20,680
where you knew he was gonna miss it. I never

1474
01:25:20,720 --> 01:25:22,920
saw Brett hard hit an elbow off the top rope.

1475
01:25:23,119 --> 01:25:25,920
That's something that was not in his arsenal. That was

1476
01:25:26,039 --> 01:25:29,800
very unhit man like. But he came off with the

1477
01:25:30,399 --> 01:25:35,560
diving top rope elbow. Now, the Anacon device is locked

1478
01:25:35,640 --> 01:25:39,039
in and I'm just I'm watching this. I'm going reach,

1479
01:25:40,199 --> 01:25:44,600
reach Sammy, reach, and he's in the middle of the

1480
01:25:44,680 --> 01:25:46,720
ring so there's nothing to really reach for it. He's

1481
01:25:46,760 --> 01:25:49,159
flailing around and I'm like, don't tell me, they're gonna

1482
01:25:49,159 --> 01:25:52,640
have him fucking tap to the anacon device. But he

1483
01:25:52,720 --> 01:25:55,479
uses his legs, he wraps him around Punk's head to

1484
01:25:55,680 --> 01:25:58,640
break free. Punk did go for a sharpshooter Sammy, though

1485
01:25:58,720 --> 01:26:02,399
very quickly, you know, he fought out of that. So

1486
01:26:02,479 --> 01:26:05,760
here comes the GTS, but no again, Sammy slips out.

1487
01:26:06,000 --> 01:26:08,000
He got the same roll up now on Punk that

1488
01:26:08,079 --> 01:26:11,000
he used to pin Cody to win the championship in Riod,

1489
01:26:11,960 --> 01:26:13,880
but this time he only got a close two count

1490
01:26:13,920 --> 01:26:17,199
out of it, so that was a very good near fall.

1491
01:26:17,359 --> 01:26:21,600
So again GTS no. Sammy gets Punk up on his

1492
01:26:21,720 --> 01:26:27,640
shoulders and he hits the GTS flush. Sammy covers Punk

1493
01:26:27,720 --> 01:26:31,600
kicks out. Punk ended up down in the corner. Fans

1494
01:26:31,600 --> 01:26:34,840
are booing because they know what's coming up next. Sammy

1495
01:26:34,880 --> 01:26:38,239
is setting up for the halluva kick. Punk catches him though,

1496
01:26:38,279 --> 01:26:41,560
as he charges in and he hits a Sammy move.

1497
01:26:41,600 --> 01:26:44,279
He hits an exploder into the corner. Now we have

1498
01:26:44,479 --> 01:26:48,880
CM Punk in the opposite corner and he is setting

1499
01:26:48,960 --> 01:26:52,760
up for something. He's setting up for a halluva kick

1500
01:26:52,760 --> 01:26:57,880
of his own. Sammy though, catches Punk with another GTS.

1501
01:26:58,279 --> 01:27:03,600
He nails it in to a blue thunderbomb and he's

1502
01:27:03,600 --> 01:27:07,039
got him pinned and Punk kicks out. Punk kicked out

1503
01:27:07,039 --> 01:27:11,399
of a GTS Blue Thunderbomb combo, and I'm like, what

1504
01:27:11,439 --> 01:27:13,880
am I watching him? I feel like I'm watching aew

1505
01:27:15,079 --> 01:27:19,199
Sammy starts ripping off the wrist tape. Now he smacks Punk,

1506
01:27:19,880 --> 01:27:21,960
smacks him a second time. He smacks him across the

1507
01:27:22,000 --> 01:27:24,399
face for a third time. He's telling him, I'm the champ.

1508
01:27:24,479 --> 01:27:28,560
Now do you understand that I'm the champ. Now he's

1509
01:27:28,560 --> 01:27:32,880
punching Punk. Punk now has a bloody mouth. Now Punk

1510
01:27:32,960 --> 01:27:37,079
is pissed, and he starts the fireback another step up knee.

1511
01:27:37,199 --> 01:27:40,479
Then Punk runs into the opposite corner. Sammy, though followed

1512
01:27:40,560 --> 01:27:42,840
him in, but Punk moved out of the way when

1513
01:27:42,880 --> 01:27:46,039
Sammy went for the hallula kick. Punk comes in though,

1514
01:27:46,079 --> 01:27:49,359
He nails a hallula kick of his own, and then

1515
01:27:49,960 --> 01:27:53,119
comes the go to sleep. All it took was one

1516
01:27:53,479 --> 01:27:55,279
although to be fair, he hits Sammy with his own

1517
01:27:55,319 --> 01:27:58,960
finisher first, then he hit his own and then he

1518
01:27:59,000 --> 01:28:04,680
covered him and he gets the one, two, three and

1519
01:28:04,760 --> 01:28:09,880
CM Punk for the eighth time in his career is

1520
01:28:10,199 --> 01:28:13,680
world champion. I say eighth time in his career, not

1521
01:28:13,880 --> 01:28:17,680
counting aew is an eight time champion, because now this

1522
01:28:17,760 --> 01:28:23,079
is his third I believe, right, third WWE championship. And

1523
01:28:23,399 --> 01:28:27,399
I want to say, the original version, the OG version

1524
01:28:27,439 --> 01:28:30,119
of the World Heavyweight title, did he hold that three times?

1525
01:28:31,479 --> 01:28:34,119
And then I think the most recent version twice? Right,

1526
01:28:34,159 --> 01:28:36,479
So that adds up to eight. I believe that's what

1527
01:28:36,520 --> 01:28:42,479
they're counting. Michael Cole on commentary referred to Sammy Zane's

1528
01:28:42,560 --> 01:28:46,520
run as the shortest World Championship reign in five years.

1529
01:28:48,000 --> 01:28:52,079
He almost certainly had to mean WWE title, because we

1530
01:28:52,159 --> 01:28:54,880
have had World Heavyweight Championship reigns in the last five

1531
01:28:54,960 --> 01:28:59,880
years that are a lot shorter than this. Drew McIntyre WrestleMania, Hello,

1532
01:29:00,000 --> 01:29:05,039
oh cm Punk a year ago, not even a year ago.

1533
01:29:05,079 --> 01:29:07,319
It's summerslim. We beat Gun there. He got cashed in

1534
01:29:07,399 --> 01:29:11,199
on fucking five minutes later he lost the championship, So

1535
01:29:11,439 --> 01:29:13,840
in terms of the WWE title, that may well be

1536
01:29:14,640 --> 01:29:19,039
the case. Punk hops the barricade very reminiscent of what

1537
01:29:19,079 --> 01:29:22,840
we saw fifteen years ago in that very building Money

1538
01:29:22,840 --> 01:29:25,319
in the bank twenty eleven. After he beat John Cena, right,

1539
01:29:25,359 --> 01:29:28,000
he retreated over the barricade into the crowd, up into

1540
01:29:28,000 --> 01:29:33,159
the stands, swarmed by all of the Chicago fans and

1541
01:29:33,439 --> 01:29:36,439
celebrating with his people as they go off the air.

1542
01:29:37,479 --> 01:29:41,920
This was an incredible main event. The atmosphere, I mean,

1543
01:29:41,960 --> 01:29:44,279
even just as a match, forget the atmosphere for a second.

1544
01:29:44,279 --> 01:29:46,960
It was a fucking really good match. But then you

1545
01:29:47,039 --> 01:29:50,119
got a factor in just the energy and the building.

1546
01:29:50,159 --> 01:29:52,399
Of course, everybody they were dying to see Punk win

1547
01:29:52,520 --> 01:29:54,800
this belt, and they were hanging onto every near fall,

1548
01:29:54,840 --> 01:29:57,319
and it was just it was so good. It was

1549
01:29:57,359 --> 01:29:59,760
so good. That's why it's hard for me to be

1550
01:30:00,560 --> 01:30:03,279
too angry about anything or upset about it. I mean,

1551
01:30:03,319 --> 01:30:06,119
I am upset that, you know, Samy only had nine days.

1552
01:30:06,159 --> 01:30:09,319
I mean, I think that's bullshit. But what a great

1553
01:30:09,359 --> 01:30:11,479
fucking match to go out on, you know what I mean,

1554
01:30:11,520 --> 01:30:13,079
Like if this was gonna be his one and only

1555
01:30:13,159 --> 01:30:16,720
title defense, he went out in like the best possible

1556
01:30:16,720 --> 01:30:20,159
way in terms of en ring because probably wasn't gonna

1557
01:30:20,159 --> 01:30:23,319
have a better match than this. So I love the match.

1558
01:30:23,359 --> 01:30:25,399
There's the best match on Raw in a very long time.

1559
01:30:26,000 --> 01:30:32,159
But again, nine days, after ten years of chasing the

1560
01:30:32,239 --> 01:30:37,800
dragon and finally capturing the dragon, and then he dropped

1561
01:30:37,800 --> 01:30:42,279
it and just like that, it's gone and it ain't

1562
01:30:42,279 --> 01:30:45,720
coming back. Because I got news for you. I don't

1563
01:30:45,720 --> 01:30:52,039
see Samy's in winning this championship back. I don't. I don't.

1564
01:30:52,079 --> 01:30:54,479
I think they put the belt on him not just

1565
01:30:54,520 --> 01:30:56,840
to give him a moment, but in the process of

1566
01:30:56,840 --> 01:30:58,920
giving him a moment. It served a purpose, and the

1567
01:30:58,960 --> 01:31:01,960
purpose was to trans position that belt onto somebody else

1568
01:31:02,319 --> 01:31:05,840
for a much bigger program and a much bigger match

1569
01:31:06,520 --> 01:31:09,680
that they have in mind and the real money in

1570
01:31:09,720 --> 01:31:12,239
their eyes, and I'm not even saying they're wrong about this.

1571
01:31:12,319 --> 01:31:15,920
The real money here is in Punk and Cody, because

1572
01:31:15,960 --> 01:31:18,279
they are two of the biggest stars outside of Roman

1573
01:31:18,319 --> 01:31:21,319
Reigns in the entire company, and whatever order you want

1574
01:31:21,319 --> 01:31:24,199
to put them in, it's Roman, it's Cody, It's Punk.

1575
01:31:24,600 --> 01:31:28,119
Those are the three. Those are the three guys. And

1576
01:31:28,159 --> 01:31:31,760
you would hope in the next three years or less,

1577
01:31:32,119 --> 01:31:38,800
Frankly Oba, Femei, bron Breaker, at least those two, Jacob Fatu,

1578
01:31:38,920 --> 01:31:43,079
maybe Trick Williams, maybe his inn ring has to catch up,

1579
01:31:43,119 --> 01:31:45,800
but you would hope that we have some new faces

1580
01:31:45,840 --> 01:31:47,640
in the mix and we're not still talking in three

1581
01:31:47,720 --> 01:31:52,000
years about Roman Reigns, Cody Rhoades, brock Lesnar, CM Punk

1582
01:31:52,680 --> 01:31:57,079
hogging up the same fucking spots. The money match right

1583
01:31:57,119 --> 01:31:59,439
now to do is one that has not been done yet.

1584
01:32:00,159 --> 01:32:02,439
It's Cody Rhods and CM Punk and they've teased this

1585
01:32:02,560 --> 01:32:04,600
match off and on now for a few years. They've

1586
01:32:04,600 --> 01:32:07,279
had some backstage interactions. They had an in ring promo

1587
01:32:07,359 --> 01:32:11,399
after WrestleMania this year. It's very interesting to think about

1588
01:32:12,159 --> 01:32:14,560
is it just going to be straight Babyface against Babyface?

1589
01:32:15,600 --> 01:32:19,680
Is one guy gonna lean more into the heel role,

1590
01:32:20,800 --> 01:32:22,600
even if it's just for the one match. You know

1591
01:32:23,000 --> 01:32:24,960
who's going to play heel? Is there going to be

1592
01:32:25,000 --> 01:32:26,840
a heel turn? If so, who's it going to be.

1593
01:32:27,159 --> 01:32:29,239
We've seen Punk play heel. We know Punk could be

1594
01:32:29,239 --> 01:32:32,600
a heel. We haven't seen Cody in that spot since

1595
01:32:32,640 --> 01:32:36,039
he became the guy, right. I mean, we've had pass

1596
01:32:36,199 --> 01:32:41,000
versions of Cody star Dust and you know, the grooming tips,

1597
01:32:41,039 --> 01:32:43,640
like that's like a whole other person. That person doesn't

1598
01:32:43,640 --> 01:32:47,600
even exist anymore. This version, the American Nightmare version of

1599
01:32:47,640 --> 01:32:50,199
Cody Rhodes has yet to go heal and play bad

1600
01:32:50,239 --> 01:32:53,399
guy in ww A, and it would be very interesting

1601
01:32:53,439 --> 01:32:56,800
to see him in that role. It would freshen him

1602
01:32:56,840 --> 01:32:58,960
up in a way that I think he could definitely use.

1603
01:33:00,039 --> 01:33:01,840
But they've just got to have somebody there to take

1604
01:33:01,840 --> 01:33:04,199
that spot. I don't know that Punk is that guy,

1605
01:33:05,000 --> 01:33:07,079
not that he's not a big name, but ideally you

1606
01:33:07,119 --> 01:33:09,880
would replace Cody with somebody who can really take that spot.

1607
01:33:10,039 --> 01:33:13,039
Is the top babyface on the brand for the future.

1608
01:33:14,159 --> 01:33:17,520
You know, Punk punk is not the future. Do they

1609
01:33:17,520 --> 01:33:20,039
have another babyface who can kind of step into that role?

1610
01:33:21,439 --> 01:33:23,760
You know? On SmackDown right now? The answer is no,

1611
01:33:23,840 --> 01:33:28,079
they don't, So turn Cody heel at your own risk.

1612
01:33:28,159 --> 01:33:30,479
It's not like I wouldn't love to see it. But

1613
01:33:31,319 --> 01:33:33,640
what's the plan for SmackDown? If you do that, it

1614
01:33:33,680 --> 01:33:36,039
can't just be cmpunk. Who else are you going to

1615
01:33:36,159 --> 01:33:40,079
rely on or try to elevate or have in that spot,

1616
01:33:40,239 --> 01:33:43,560
lean on as the top babyface on Fridays and be

1617
01:33:43,680 --> 01:33:47,079
that guy. That's something they have to figure out is

1618
01:33:47,119 --> 01:33:49,239
who they want that person to be. If they can

1619
01:33:49,279 --> 01:33:51,800
figure that out. Fuck, I would love to see Cody

1620
01:33:51,880 --> 01:33:53,920
Rhods go heel. I would love to see what that

1621
01:33:53,960 --> 01:33:58,600
looks like. And maybe the fans will just sort of

1622
01:33:58,680 --> 01:34:01,840
naturally gravitate towards Punk. If they do punkin Cody, they

1623
01:34:01,880 --> 01:34:05,039
may boot Cody anyway because they like Punk just that much.

1624
01:34:05,520 --> 01:34:07,920
The dynamic will be very interesting. But you can't deny

1625
01:34:07,960 --> 01:34:09,920
that that is the biggest possible match they could do

1626
01:34:10,000 --> 01:34:12,640
right now on SmackDown. Unfortunately, that leaves Sammy's Ain't out

1627
01:34:12,680 --> 01:34:16,119
in the cold. Because if they don't include him in this,

1628
01:34:16,720 --> 01:34:19,479
if he's not involved in that match, to turn it

1629
01:34:19,520 --> 01:34:23,199
into a three way situation. I don't see another obvious

1630
01:34:23,279 --> 01:34:25,840
path for him to even be on the SummerSlam card

1631
01:34:25,880 --> 01:34:29,680
this year, and to go from winning the WWE Championship

1632
01:34:29,720 --> 01:34:34,359
at the end of June to literally not even a

1633
01:34:34,399 --> 01:34:38,159
full two months later, be completely left off the card

1634
01:34:38,239 --> 01:34:41,039
would be To call it a slap in the face

1635
01:34:41,039 --> 01:34:43,279
would not even be adequate. I don't even think that

1636
01:34:43,319 --> 01:34:47,399
those words are adequate enough to describe what a show

1637
01:34:47,399 --> 01:34:50,600
of disrespect that would be for someone who has really

1638
01:34:50,760 --> 01:34:55,880
elevated SmackDown in recent months, which is a shit show,

1639
01:34:56,279 --> 01:34:58,880
but elevated it in a way where if he wasn't there,

1640
01:34:58,920 --> 01:35:01,359
I don't know what the fuck I would be looking

1641
01:35:01,399 --> 01:35:03,319
at on that show. It's like the best thing on

1642
01:35:03,359 --> 01:35:07,359
SmackDown to look forward to every week. Johnny Gargano planking,

1643
01:35:09,600 --> 01:35:13,319
I mean, you tell me now. I guess you could

1644
01:35:13,439 --> 01:35:18,159
argue it's this occasional Ray Phoenix triple A cruiserweight title defense.

1645
01:35:18,920 --> 01:35:21,439
It's defending a championship that doesn't even belong on the

1646
01:35:21,439 --> 01:35:23,960
main roster, doesn't even it belongs to a different promotion.

1647
01:35:25,279 --> 01:35:27,039
You know, you try to pick and choose the things

1648
01:35:27,079 --> 01:35:29,439
that you like, and you look forward to the most.

1649
01:35:29,479 --> 01:35:32,199
Carmelo Hayes, let's get him going again, you know, Dragon

1650
01:35:32,279 --> 01:35:34,520
of hopefully they'll get him back soon wherever he's been.

1651
01:35:35,760 --> 01:35:39,880
I mean, my god, So of course it's great now

1652
01:35:39,920 --> 01:35:42,560
to have CM punk on SmackDown. Thank God. You know,

1653
01:35:42,640 --> 01:35:46,680
they could use that shot in the arm. Sammy just

1654
01:35:46,680 --> 01:35:51,000
doesn't fit into that, seemingly doesn't fit into that. We

1655
01:35:51,560 --> 01:35:53,640
know what the direction is going to be. But I

1656
01:35:53,640 --> 01:35:55,640
do think it's a missed opportunity. You could have had

1657
01:35:55,680 --> 01:35:58,279
title matches with Sammy where it's like man every night

1658
01:35:58,439 --> 01:36:02,119
that he's defending that belt be his last, but somehow

1659
01:36:02,199 --> 01:36:06,119
he finds a way to hang on. They didn't have

1660
01:36:06,119 --> 01:36:09,000
any interest in doing that. They never did. We know

1661
01:36:09,119 --> 01:36:13,520
that now, so it sucks. I do feel bad for

1662
01:36:13,600 --> 01:36:15,520
him that he never had a chance to really run

1663
01:36:15,560 --> 01:36:20,159
with it. I think that I think he would have

1664
01:36:20,199 --> 01:36:22,359
done fine. I understand people who were not a fan

1665
01:36:22,399 --> 01:36:24,199
of putting the belt on him. They don't like him,

1666
01:36:24,199 --> 01:36:27,239
they don't think he looks the part. They think it's unrealistic,

1667
01:36:27,439 --> 01:36:30,680
or you know, whatever their thoughts and opinions are on it.

1668
01:36:32,199 --> 01:36:34,239
But again, you can find examples of people over the

1669
01:36:34,319 --> 01:36:36,319
years that have held the championship in this company that

1670
01:36:36,359 --> 01:36:40,479
would fit the same mold, you know, and some of

1671
01:36:40,520 --> 01:36:42,960
those cases they did just fine. I have no doubt

1672
01:36:42,960 --> 01:36:44,960
that Sammy's ain could have carried the belt for a

1673
01:36:45,000 --> 01:36:52,439
couple of months. He got nine days. Now we'll see

1674
01:36:52,439 --> 01:36:54,279
what the Summer Slide match is going to be. For

1675
01:36:54,319 --> 01:36:58,560
his sake, I just hope they don't blow it off.

1676
01:36:58,560 --> 01:37:01,880
It's Saturday Night's main event, you know, because if they do,

1677
01:37:02,039 --> 01:37:05,479
then he ain't going to Summer Slim, not in anything

1678
01:37:05,520 --> 01:37:10,359
meaningful anyway. But it was a great main event. I

1679
01:37:10,399 --> 01:37:13,920
will say that. I will say that that was Monday

1680
01:37:14,000 --> 01:37:19,159
Night Raw kind of a big deal. With Punk being

1681
01:37:19,199 --> 01:37:22,039
back and now having the championship, that that certainly takes

1682
01:37:22,079 --> 01:37:24,560
things in a different direction than they were a week

1683
01:37:24,600 --> 01:37:29,199
ago when we were talking about this show. Well, we

1684
01:37:29,319 --> 01:37:34,079
blew past all of the early goals and you guys

1685
01:37:34,119 --> 01:37:39,159
were on fire, and I've lost track. I want to say,

1686
01:37:39,159 --> 01:37:42,840
we have five rounds. I believe it would be the

1687
01:37:43,119 --> 01:37:47,359
Sammy planking with Gargano at SummerSlam. You actually think Johnny

1688
01:37:47,399 --> 01:37:50,239
Gargano would get a Summer Slam match. What drugs are

1689
01:37:50,279 --> 01:37:58,600
you on? I want what he's having. Maybe they could

1690
01:37:58,640 --> 01:38:01,680
have a planking match. I may have to add that

1691
01:38:01,720 --> 01:38:12,920
stipulation to be the booker a planking match. At the

1692
01:38:13,039 --> 01:38:14,920
end of the day, it becomes a lot easier to

1693
01:38:15,039 --> 01:38:18,039
understand when you look at it from the perspective of

1694
01:38:18,720 --> 01:38:23,720
they go where the stars are, WWE and TKO. They

1695
01:38:23,760 --> 01:38:26,279
go where they feel the money is going to be,

1696
01:38:26,760 --> 01:38:28,439
and for their second biggest show of the year, the

1697
01:38:28,439 --> 01:38:30,920
money is going to be in CM Punk and not

1698
01:38:31,039 --> 01:38:32,880
Sammy's a. The money is going to be in CM

1699
01:38:32,880 --> 01:38:38,359
Punk against Cody Rhodes. Although you could have kept the

1700
01:38:38,359 --> 01:38:41,279
belt on Sammy and had him defending against Punk and

1701
01:38:41,520 --> 01:38:46,920
or Cody, they felt differently. They wanted that belt more

1702
01:38:46,960 --> 01:38:49,159
important to them to have the championship on Punk, even

1703
01:38:49,199 --> 01:38:52,119
though him just walking in and getting a title shot

1704
01:38:52,479 --> 01:38:55,760
is kind of ridiculous, But in their view, he's Cempunk,

1705
01:38:57,960 --> 01:39:03,600
so you can excuse it. And that's just the reality

1706
01:39:03,640 --> 01:39:08,119
of it, all right. So I think we're doing four.

1707
01:39:08,760 --> 01:39:11,640
I think it's four rounds of be the booker. You

1708
01:39:11,680 --> 01:39:15,039
guys will keep you posting on that. Hey, Joseph Stawer,

1709
01:39:15,119 --> 01:39:17,399
thank you brother for being with us. Tonight, A Happy

1710
01:39:17,399 --> 01:39:20,960
Monday to you as well. I did read through these

1711
01:39:21,319 --> 01:39:23,880
messages that you sent in earlier, because you were the first,

1712
01:39:25,399 --> 01:39:28,720
so I am aware of everything that you have written here.

1713
01:39:28,920 --> 01:39:31,760
I didn't actually not know about any of this. I

1714
01:39:31,840 --> 01:39:35,279
get my Batman updates from you on what's going on

1715
01:39:35,319 --> 01:39:42,159
with this new movie and some of these past trivia facts.

1716
01:39:42,399 --> 01:39:44,680
I did want to mention this one though, the nine

1717
01:39:44,760 --> 01:39:48,119
ninety nine I've mentioned to you before. I have not

1718
01:39:48,199 --> 01:39:50,560
seen the animated series, but I definitely want to watch

1719
01:39:50,560 --> 01:39:52,960
it before the clay Face movie comes out in October,

1720
01:39:53,000 --> 01:39:56,800
because apparently on the animated show, I think in the

1721
01:39:56,800 --> 01:39:58,920
first two or three episodes, right, they have a double

1722
01:39:59,159 --> 01:40:03,399
I think a double episode covering the clay Face character.

1723
01:40:04,560 --> 01:40:08,399
And apparently the new movie is based or inspired by

1724
01:40:09,319 --> 01:40:14,199
those episodes of Batman the animated series. So I would

1725
01:40:14,279 --> 01:40:17,399
like to check out the series at some point. It's

1726
01:40:17,439 --> 01:40:23,960
got a pretty high score too on IMDb. Yeah, Batman

1727
01:40:24,000 --> 01:40:26,960
the Animated Series. Happy eightieth birthday to sel Val. Are

1728
01:40:26,960 --> 01:40:32,760
you serious? Is Sylvester stallone eighty years old today? Oh?

1729
01:40:32,800 --> 01:40:39,720
My god? Eighty years old looking the way he does?

1730
01:40:43,199 --> 01:40:45,479
And eighty first for Bert, I didn't even know Bert

1731
01:40:45,520 --> 01:40:53,039
Ward was still alive. Today's the anniversary of Goldberg beating

1732
01:40:53,119 --> 01:40:55,119
Hogan at the Georgia Dome. I did mention that from

1733
01:40:55,119 --> 01:41:01,000
the very top of the review tonight, buy or sells

1734
01:41:01,079 --> 01:41:04,159
Sting against Hogan, it's star K ninety seven or Goldberg

1735
01:41:04,199 --> 01:41:06,399
against Hogan on Nitro? I mean, how is this even

1736
01:41:06,439 --> 01:41:10,239
a question? Joseph? Come on now, how is this even

1737
01:41:10,239 --> 01:41:13,880
a question? Are you kidding me? Goldberg and Hogan in

1738
01:41:13,960 --> 01:41:15,479
ninety eight is one of the best matches in the

1739
01:41:15,520 --> 01:41:19,199
history of the company, not because of anything that they

1740
01:41:19,239 --> 01:41:21,239
did in the ring per se, but just it is

1741
01:41:21,359 --> 01:41:25,079
truly one of the biggest, if not the biggest match

1742
01:41:27,960 --> 01:41:30,199
that they have ever done. Sting and Hogan meant more

1743
01:41:30,239 --> 01:41:34,760
to the by rate, but the match was fucking terrible. Obviously,

1744
01:41:34,840 --> 01:41:40,119
I'm selling on that. Do you remember when Raven had

1745
01:41:40,119 --> 01:41:43,600
his therapy sessions with his family on nitro? Sandman appeared

1746
01:41:43,680 --> 01:41:46,119
during the therapy session, says Raven's best for I actually

1747
01:41:46,159 --> 01:41:48,880
don't remember. I don't remember that. I don't remember Sandman

1748
01:41:49,000 --> 01:41:57,920
being there for that. Man Bain Bain's pretty high up

1749
01:41:57,960 --> 01:42:01,560
there on my list of Batman villas. Where I rank

1750
01:42:01,640 --> 01:42:08,760
him is probably something like maybe like four maybe anyway,

1751
01:42:08,760 --> 01:42:10,520
I hope you had a wonderful fourth a July solo

1752
01:42:10,600 --> 01:42:13,199
monster and have a blessed in safe day today you

1753
01:42:13,239 --> 01:42:15,680
as well, Joseph, I hope you had a happy fourth.

1754
01:42:16,760 --> 01:42:20,239
Philip Bowman was Swerves blade Job at Forbidden Door worse

1755
01:42:20,279 --> 01:42:24,079
than Eddie Guerrero's Judgment Day Blade Job? I would say

1756
01:42:24,159 --> 01:42:30,239
yes it was. It was quite disgusting how much blood

1757
01:42:30,279 --> 01:42:41,520
he and Osprey lost, but Swerves was much worse. Death side.

1758
01:42:41,560 --> 01:42:44,880
How does Sonic get a hold of the ladies. He

1759
01:42:44,960 --> 01:42:52,279
gives them rings? Gives them rings? The real CS two

1760
01:42:52,279 --> 01:42:54,119
with a nine ninety nine, with guys like new Day

1761
01:42:54,159 --> 01:42:56,840
and Shamous leaving due of refusing to accept a pay cut.

1762
01:42:57,399 --> 01:43:00,119
I wonder how long until names like Natty, miss is

1763
01:43:00,159 --> 01:43:03,000
It Truth, et cetera are either cut or asked to

1764
01:43:03,039 --> 01:43:06,720
take a pay cut. I would be willing to bet

1765
01:43:06,760 --> 01:43:08,359
that some of them have already been asked to take

1766
01:43:08,399 --> 01:43:10,399
a pay cut, and if they're still around, they probably

1767
01:43:10,399 --> 01:43:13,720
said yes. I'm sure there are talents that have said yes.

1768
01:43:14,239 --> 01:43:17,279
We hear about the ones that say no. That doesn't

1769
01:43:17,319 --> 01:43:19,119
mean that there aren't that have said yes, and they're

1770
01:43:19,119 --> 01:43:22,720
probably still making very good money. They're just making a

1771
01:43:22,760 --> 01:43:26,720
lot less than they used to make. But you know,

1772
01:43:26,760 --> 01:43:28,399
some of these people that have been working there for

1773
01:43:28,439 --> 01:43:31,760
so just so many years, they're probably making a lot

1774
01:43:31,800 --> 01:43:34,800
of money, to the point where even taking a forty

1775
01:43:34,880 --> 01:43:38,199
or fifty percent pay cut is more than they would

1776
01:43:38,239 --> 01:43:42,319
make pretty much anywhere else. We don't hear, but we

1777
01:43:42,319 --> 01:43:44,079
don't hear about the ones that said yes. We only

1778
01:43:44,079 --> 01:43:49,760
hear about the ones that say no. Uh gmb with

1779
01:43:49,840 --> 01:43:52,119
a fort ninety nine. I think the profits dropped the

1780
01:43:52,199 --> 01:43:57,359
titles is because Bianca and Dawk's wife are due soon.

1781
01:43:57,479 --> 01:44:00,119
I feel bad for bron though he's above this awful

1782
01:44:00,319 --> 01:44:04,720
faction he is. I just feel like it's it's just

1783
01:44:04,840 --> 01:44:09,880
diminishing him. Every week that goes by, it's just diminishing him.

1784
01:44:09,920 --> 01:44:21,920
It's beneath him. Thank you. Brother Rizzo says, yes, Sammy

1785
01:44:22,000 --> 01:44:24,640
lost the belt. He's very excited that Sammy's Ain is

1786
01:44:24,680 --> 01:44:29,079
no longer the champion. Death Side says Stan Stasiac, who

1787
01:44:29,119 --> 01:44:37,680
was also a Canadian, held the WWE championship for nine days. Interesting,

1788
01:44:37,800 --> 01:44:40,359
so Sammy's Ain is not the first Canadian to hold

1789
01:44:40,359 --> 01:44:43,800
the belt for nine days. Johnny Bernie says, for me,

1790
01:44:43,880 --> 01:44:52,159
the action is in the juice. He has this in quotations,

1791
01:44:52,199 --> 01:44:54,159
a quote from someone. He says, Yeah, we can tell

1792
01:44:54,239 --> 01:44:59,640
Big Papa Punk, Big Papa Punk crazy says, I laugh

1793
01:44:59,720 --> 01:45:01,920
my so off when Michael Cole said we are all

1794
01:45:01,960 --> 01:45:06,720
shocked at Punk's return. Well, I mean, Michael Cole is

1795
01:45:06,720 --> 01:45:10,800
an idiot, so he has said you kind of expect

1796
01:45:10,800 --> 01:45:12,880
that he's gonna say a lot of stupid shit on TV.

1797
01:45:14,920 --> 01:45:22,680
None of this should be surprising. Andre Jefferson. Actually, Johnny

1798
01:45:22,680 --> 01:45:24,720
Bernie says, watch Sammy end up on a crate like

1799
01:45:24,800 --> 01:45:27,479
Johnny for months? Oh my god, I hadn't thought about that.

1800
01:45:27,960 --> 01:45:29,880
What if Sammy's new gimmick is that he is so

1801
01:45:30,000 --> 01:45:33,319
depressed over losing the belt he's planking next to Gargano

1802
01:45:33,359 --> 01:45:42,920
every week. Andre Jefferson says, Triple H's booking is so atrocious.

1803
01:45:43,279 --> 01:45:46,199
We were so focused on Sammy. Who knew the street

1804
01:45:46,239 --> 01:45:48,720
profit Oh, who knew the street profits were about to

1805
01:45:48,760 --> 01:45:54,079
suffer the same thing. Well, I told you earlier why

1806
01:45:54,119 --> 01:45:56,279
I think they may have dropped the belts. I think

1807
01:45:56,279 --> 01:46:01,239
they may be going away soon. And if they do,

1808
01:46:01,359 --> 01:46:05,119
congrats to them. You have to go away. It's not

1809
01:46:05,199 --> 01:46:13,279
a bad reason to go away. Unlike Kyrie saying that

1810
01:46:13,359 --> 01:46:16,359
was a very bad reason that she went away. They

1811
01:46:16,439 --> 01:46:26,800
never even finished their own story. Death Sithe dropping some

1812
01:46:26,920 --> 01:46:33,479
bombs here. You've got a magenta bomb this guy. On Friday,

1813
01:46:33,479 --> 01:46:36,079
you mentioned that Punkin Austin a wrestlemanie of forty three

1814
01:46:36,119 --> 01:46:39,000
would be best in the world versus the best of

1815
01:46:39,039 --> 01:46:41,720
all time. All they need now is the best there is,

1816
01:46:41,760 --> 01:46:43,520
the best, there was, the best there ever will be

1817
01:46:43,680 --> 01:46:48,319
to be the moderator for the contract signing. I think

1818
01:46:48,319 --> 01:46:50,600
if he was asked, he would do it. I think

1819
01:46:50,640 --> 01:46:54,199
Punkin and Austin are probably two of his favorite people

1820
01:46:54,239 --> 01:46:59,079
in wrestling. But again, I see no need to do

1821
01:46:59,119 --> 01:47:01,399
the match. I see no need to do the match

1822
01:47:01,439 --> 01:47:03,399
at all. I was just asked the hypothetical. I said,

1823
01:47:03,399 --> 01:47:05,439
if you were going to do it, this is how

1824
01:47:05,479 --> 01:47:10,159
it should be builled and promoted. I think that ship

1825
01:47:10,199 --> 01:47:15,199
sailed a long time ago. Everyone's talking about wanting something new,

1826
01:47:16,079 --> 01:47:20,119
something fresh. I know, let's do Stone Cold and CM

1827
01:47:20,159 --> 01:47:28,439
punk your WrestleMania. Sure, fifteen years ago we got the

1828
01:47:28,479 --> 01:47:32,560
working Man. I love you, Solo Monster, he says in

1829
01:47:32,600 --> 01:47:36,520
the Jacob Fatu voice, Thank you, my friend. The working

1830
01:47:36,600 --> 01:47:42,279
man is always hard at work. Bucky freaking dent with

1831
01:47:42,359 --> 01:47:45,000
a five dollars super chat. When you hear the phrase

1832
01:47:45,159 --> 01:47:47,479
the Big Red Machine, do you think of Cain or

1833
01:47:47,520 --> 01:47:56,920
the Cincinnati Reds. I think of I think of that gum.

1834
01:47:57,039 --> 01:48:02,079
Oh my god, what was that gum? And they're red

1835
01:48:02,079 --> 01:48:05,880
and white. It was a brand of gum. I actually think, oh,

1836
01:48:05,920 --> 01:48:13,680
big Red duh. I think of big Red gum, and

1837
01:48:13,720 --> 01:48:18,600
then I think of Kane. Death Side says Drew McIntyre

1838
01:48:18,640 --> 01:48:21,199
won the WWE title in an empty warehouse at wrestle

1839
01:48:21,239 --> 01:48:23,079
Mania at thirty six, he failed to win it back.

1840
01:48:23,079 --> 01:48:25,880
At WrestleMania at thirty seven, he won the World Heavyweight

1841
01:48:25,960 --> 01:48:30,039
Championship and then had his moment immediately ruined at WrestleMania

1842
01:48:30,039 --> 01:48:34,279
of forty. It feels like they're giving Drew Nito's ten

1843
01:48:34,359 --> 01:48:40,560
year Wrestle Kingdom story arc with WrestleMania. Well, let us

1844
01:48:40,600 --> 01:48:42,319
hope that by the time we get to the payoff

1845
01:48:42,359 --> 01:48:44,920
for his arc, he can move a little bit better

1846
01:48:44,960 --> 01:48:54,000
than Nito does, because Nito is washed. You know what,

1847
01:48:54,039 --> 01:48:56,520
I just realized, if McIntyre is going to be back

1848
01:48:56,560 --> 01:48:58,439
soon and Sammy has nothing to do, he could just

1849
01:48:58,479 --> 01:49:01,560
lose to Drew McIntyre again. He can go like zero

1850
01:49:01,560 --> 01:49:07,279
for twelve. Death Site says, hopefully a baby Phace Drew

1851
01:49:07,359 --> 01:49:10,359
will win the WWE Championship in the WrestleMania of forty

1852
01:49:10,479 --> 01:49:13,840
six nine two main events, and his opponent should be Cody,

1853
01:49:13,920 --> 01:49:15,880
because I believe Drew was supposed to be the one

1854
01:49:15,920 --> 01:49:20,840
to de throne Roman and become the FOTC. If Cody

1855
01:49:20,960 --> 01:49:30,600
did not the FOTC, what does that mean the Sheltered Kid?

1856
01:49:30,640 --> 01:49:36,039
Remember the John Cena classic? Neither do? I? Yeah, whatever

1857
01:49:36,079 --> 01:49:38,319
happened to that? I mean, we were told it was

1858
01:49:38,359 --> 01:49:39,760
gonna happen at the end of the year, so I

1859
01:49:39,760 --> 01:49:44,279
guess they're they're working on it. Why did it need

1860
01:49:44,319 --> 01:49:46,199
to be announced so early in the year. They had

1861
01:49:46,279 --> 01:49:50,239
absolutely nothing planned out for it. It's like, quick, we

1862
01:49:50,279 --> 01:49:54,680
got to make the announcement. So then they go and

1863
01:49:54,720 --> 01:49:56,960
they have seen him make the announcement and they talk

1864
01:49:57,000 --> 01:50:00,199
about fan voting and stuff, and then a few weeks

1865
01:50:00,239 --> 01:50:02,439
ago I see seen as an interviews talking about how

1866
01:50:02,479 --> 01:50:04,960
we really have to figure out this fan voting concept

1867
01:50:04,960 --> 01:50:08,760
because I really don't want people to like hijacket and

1868
01:50:09,880 --> 01:50:12,239
troll the shit out of it. And I'm like, well,

1869
01:50:12,239 --> 01:50:14,239
why didn't you think this out before you went and

1870
01:50:14,279 --> 01:50:16,960
publicly announced that you were going to have fan voting.

1871
01:50:26,319 --> 01:50:30,760
Alexander says punk should wear an Uffa Lafa on SmackDown.

1872
01:50:33,479 --> 01:50:48,680
Now that's La Knight's gimmick. Spooky Electric thirty one, twenty one.

1873
01:50:48,960 --> 01:50:52,680
It wasn't until I saw an interview with Raimi Sebby

1874
01:50:53,760 --> 01:50:56,640
that I realized what a great character Sammy's saying. The

1875
01:50:56,680 --> 01:50:59,159
person and the wrestler are very different. He has created

1876
01:50:59,159 --> 01:51:06,159
a fabulous character, serious props. He tries to pay attention

1877
01:51:06,239 --> 01:51:09,760
to a lot of the like nuances, like he ever

1878
01:51:09,800 --> 01:51:15,159
listened to him talk about wrestling. He's very cerebral. He

1879
01:51:15,239 --> 01:51:17,640
clearly puts a lot of thought into what he does

1880
01:51:17,680 --> 01:51:21,239
and how he presents himself, even even when he was

1881
01:51:21,279 --> 01:51:24,119
doing the bloodline stuff. You know, the the honorary used

1882
01:51:24,159 --> 01:51:32,720
and all that. The sheltered kid. What is something that

1883
01:51:32,920 --> 01:51:38,560
WWE does all the time that makes no sense logically?

1884
01:51:38,600 --> 01:51:40,960
For example, I hate when the gms don't plan for

1885
01:51:41,000 --> 01:51:44,479
the fucking main events. Oh I hate when they are

1886
01:51:47,920 --> 01:52:02,039
hold on a second. The fresh Makers carry your mentos

1887
01:52:02,079 --> 01:52:07,159
always see this is why Sammy Zan lost the WWE Championship.

1888
01:52:07,439 --> 01:52:10,479
If he had one of these in the middle of

1889
01:52:10,520 --> 01:52:13,520
the match. Tonight with punk. He could have been like ah,

1890
01:52:14,119 --> 01:52:16,319
and then he could have just busted out his mentos

1891
01:52:16,359 --> 01:52:18,000
and he would have kept the title. He would have

1892
01:52:18,039 --> 01:52:22,000
figured out some ingenious way to like roll him up

1893
01:52:22,079 --> 01:52:25,319
or something and keep the belt. You need your mentos,

1894
01:52:26,479 --> 01:52:30,279
Hey Yuki Oh rules with the thirty dollars mentos the

1895
01:52:30,359 --> 01:52:33,520
fresh Maker super Chat. It's still one of my favorite

1896
01:52:33,520 --> 01:52:36,880
all time commercials. I said, I got to make a

1897
01:52:36,920 --> 01:52:47,239
super chat, thank you brother. But to go back to

1898
01:52:47,279 --> 01:52:50,359
the Sheltered Kid in his question here, I did a

1899
01:52:50,399 --> 01:52:52,920
whole video. It was a segment actually on the sound

1900
01:52:52,920 --> 01:52:55,039
of but I pulled the video for the YouTube channel,

1901
01:52:55,079 --> 01:52:56,600
so you should go check it out if you missed it.

1902
01:52:56,960 --> 01:53:00,800
This was months ago on Common Wrestling. Trappes that just

1903
01:53:00,840 --> 01:53:02,920
bug the shit out of me or just make me laugh,

1904
01:53:03,760 --> 01:53:06,279
So go check out that video. But like for example,

1905
01:53:07,000 --> 01:53:10,159
there are so many times on these shows where the

1906
01:53:10,279 --> 01:53:15,119
GM will make multiple matches throughout the night for the show.

1907
01:53:15,359 --> 01:53:17,720
Like it's one thing. If let's say you make one match,

1908
01:53:18,439 --> 01:53:21,720
there are legitimately weeks where like Nick all this usually

1909
01:53:21,760 --> 01:53:25,640
it's all this, but it could be Adam Pierce. They

1910
01:53:25,640 --> 01:53:29,760
will legitimately make three or four new matches in the

1911
01:53:29,760 --> 01:53:32,800
middle of the show, and it's like, did they not

1912
01:53:32,880 --> 01:53:38,359
have anything planned? Who got bumped? Do they just sit

1913
01:53:38,439 --> 01:53:42,199
around all week doing nothing, hoping that during the course

1914
01:53:42,199 --> 01:53:45,319
of the show every week matches will just naturally sort

1915
01:53:45,359 --> 01:53:49,159
of materialize. Like, what a terrible general manager. It makes

1916
01:53:49,199 --> 01:53:52,039
no sense to me, you have all week to plan

1917
01:53:52,079 --> 01:53:59,960
a card g Barry Free. I don't know if I'm overreact,

1918
01:54:00,319 --> 01:54:04,239
but that Seth promo was excruciating. Never been more happy

1919
01:54:04,239 --> 01:54:08,600
to hear La Knight's music. I wouldn't say excruciating. It

1920
01:54:08,640 --> 01:54:14,119
was boring. It was a boring promo. You know, he

1921
01:54:14,159 --> 01:54:17,920
didn't have anything of any real interest to say. It

1922
01:54:17,920 --> 01:54:20,640
doesn't help that his opponent wasn't on the show. What's

1923
01:54:20,680 --> 01:54:26,319
he supposed to do? Thankfully we had La Night come

1924
01:54:26,319 --> 01:54:33,880
out to interrupt San Juan Wolf with the nineteen ninety

1925
01:54:33,960 --> 01:54:36,760
nine in k fabe. Adam Pierce is the worst general

1926
01:54:36,800 --> 01:54:41,159
manager in WWE history. Dude can hardly run his own show,

1927
01:54:41,640 --> 01:54:44,760
hardly has his world champions defend their titles, yet decides

1928
01:54:44,800 --> 01:54:48,640
it's only fair that Sammy's ain defends his he should

1929
01:54:48,760 --> 01:54:54,199
be fired. So then you're gonna have no general manager

1930
01:54:54,199 --> 01:54:59,520
for any show. He's running both shows. You're gonna fire him?

1931
01:55:00,000 --> 01:55:04,880
You going to replace him with gotta have a backup plan?

1932
01:55:07,520 --> 01:55:13,800
Holy shit wrestling. I have CM punk in Chicago fatigue. Yeah,

1933
01:55:13,800 --> 01:55:16,520
well I have more Cody fatigue than I do CM

1934
01:55:16,520 --> 01:55:23,079
punk in Chicago fatigue death sithe. At least Brock and

1935
01:55:23,159 --> 01:55:25,720
Roman have the excuse of being part timers. What is

1936
01:55:25,800 --> 01:55:36,680
Live Morgan's excuse? Terrible booking in kfab But I don't

1937
01:55:36,720 --> 01:55:39,920
know what her excuse is. She's not injured, She's just

1938
01:55:39,960 --> 01:55:46,960
a terrible champion. Aaron says Live should have feuded with

1939
01:55:47,039 --> 01:55:49,520
Bailey and Lyra and she could have been the catalyst

1940
01:55:49,560 --> 01:55:51,840
to cause Lyra to turn against Bailey. Well, you've just

1941
01:55:51,880 --> 01:55:54,039
done a better job than WWE did and trying to

1942
01:55:54,039 --> 01:55:59,159
think of something for Live Morgan to do. Congratulations, You've

1943
01:55:59,199 --> 01:56:01,920
just put more thought an effort into it then Triple

1944
01:56:01,960 --> 01:56:06,000
Ah and his merry band of misfits? Did Prince begeta

1945
01:56:06,079 --> 01:56:09,920
ninety five? I gotta say bron Breaker is absolutely neutered.

1946
01:56:10,800 --> 01:56:13,159
Dude went from being the Royal Rumble favorite and a

1947
01:56:13,239 --> 01:56:16,199
possible WrestleMania main event position this year to being stuck

1948
01:56:16,199 --> 01:56:20,840
in a tag team and barely getting Mike time. That's

1949
01:56:20,880 --> 01:56:23,479
why I said, man, like this, this whole vision thing,

1950
01:56:23,760 --> 01:56:26,119
for the sake of bron Breaker, it needs to end.

1951
01:56:26,359 --> 01:56:29,399
It's not benefiting him in any meaningful way at all

1952
01:56:31,840 --> 01:56:35,920
at all. He was neutered. People may disagree with me.

1953
01:56:36,600 --> 01:56:38,920
I would have put the World Championship on him in November.

1954
01:56:39,000 --> 01:56:40,439
I would have just taken it. I would have taken

1955
01:56:40,439 --> 01:56:43,000
a flyer and said, Okay, look he's he's still a younger,

1956
01:56:43,079 --> 01:56:45,000
newer guy, but so what this is what we need?

1957
01:56:45,279 --> 01:56:48,800
Fuck it. You can argue, oh, when he's not ready yet,

1958
01:56:48,960 --> 01:56:51,279
or you got a way to give him his big

1959
01:56:51,319 --> 01:56:56,359
moment at wrestlem it a fuck that fuck that. You

1960
01:56:56,359 --> 01:56:58,239
could have put the belt on him on Saturday Night's

1961
01:56:58,279 --> 01:57:03,159
main event November first, twenty twenty five, right after he

1962
01:57:03,279 --> 01:57:06,680
booted Seth Rollins out of the vision. You could have

1963
01:57:06,680 --> 01:57:08,600
scrapped the rocket to him. You could have ran with it.

1964
01:57:09,239 --> 01:57:12,079
You could have ran with it. What's the harm? What's

1965
01:57:12,079 --> 01:57:15,720
the harm? They didn't do that. He's been neutered ever since.

1966
01:57:22,000 --> 01:57:24,479
Paul Carpenter says, if you build it, it will come.

1967
01:57:25,439 --> 01:57:33,520
Congrats on the story. Yes, I finish my story. Fill

1968
01:57:35,520 --> 01:57:37,920
fill with the nine ninety nine Hey, Solo, would you

1969
01:57:38,000 --> 01:57:39,800
be open to sammy' z ain being added to the

1970
01:57:39,840 --> 01:57:43,039
SummerSlam main event with Cody and Punk. I would save

1971
01:57:43,119 --> 01:57:45,680
Cody versus Punk for a later date. Also, I think

1972
01:57:45,720 --> 01:57:50,880
Maxine Dupries still sucks. Thank you, Phil, Yes, I would

1973
01:57:53,199 --> 01:57:56,000
as much. As much as I really do want to

1974
01:57:56,000 --> 01:57:59,159
see Cody and Punk one on one, I really hope

1975
01:57:59,199 --> 01:58:02,960
they add Samy ts that match. If Cody it deserves

1976
01:58:02,960 --> 01:58:10,520
a rematch. There's no good reason why Sammy doesn't, because

1977
01:58:10,560 --> 01:58:14,159
Cody lost Farren Square a Night of Champions and Sammy

1978
01:58:14,199 --> 01:58:16,880
lost Farren Square's and why does Cody need a rematch

1979
01:58:16,920 --> 01:58:22,439
and not Sammy. My guess is we're gonna get Cody

1980
01:58:22,479 --> 01:58:27,479
against Sammy at Madison Square Garden. Cody's gonna win, and

1981
01:58:27,520 --> 01:58:32,119
then he's gonna get Punk at SummerSlam. They need some

1982
01:58:32,159 --> 01:58:34,359
big matches for that Saturday. I mean that Saturday Night's

1983
01:58:34,359 --> 01:58:37,319
main event show is dying on the vine, like fucking

1984
01:58:37,439 --> 01:58:41,159
Dan Housen against j D McDonough and Paige and Bribella

1985
01:58:41,239 --> 01:58:44,800
against Fatal Influence. That's all they have announced so far.

1986
01:58:46,279 --> 01:58:49,600
That's it. So they have to be saving some kind

1987
01:58:49,600 --> 01:58:52,239
of big match for the main event at least fucking

1988
01:58:52,239 --> 01:58:59,680
Madison Square Garden. What are you kidding me? Shows less

1989
01:58:59,680 --> 01:59:05,279
than two weeks away. That's the card you put together?

1990
01:59:10,600 --> 01:59:16,159
Oh we got Hassen Cargbow with a magenta bomb. Sammy

1991
01:59:16,439 --> 01:59:25,359
deserves better. He summed it up very succinctly. I'm sorry, brother.

1992
01:59:25,439 --> 01:59:28,479
I know he didn't enjoy the outcome of that main event,

1993
01:59:28,560 --> 01:59:31,960
and that I could tell. Phil says, hey, Solo, did

1994
01:59:32,000 --> 01:59:35,159
you ever get your AC fixed? I figured out what

1995
01:59:35,199 --> 01:59:38,199
the issue was. Once the heat wave ended, it started

1996
01:59:38,199 --> 01:59:42,359
functioning again. I don't think these window and wall AC

1997
01:59:42,560 --> 01:59:45,239
units are really equipped to deal with one hundred degree

1998
01:59:45,239 --> 01:59:50,319
heat waves and running constantly for twenty four to forty

1999
01:59:50,359 --> 01:59:54,239
eight hours. I feel like they overheat and they probably

2000
01:59:54,720 --> 01:59:57,920
shut the compressor off just to kind of protect itself.

2001
01:59:58,039 --> 02:00:01,920
It's like a self preservation thing. So thankfully I didn't

2002
02:00:01,920 --> 02:00:04,319
have to bring it in anywhere. I just had to

2003
02:00:04,720 --> 02:00:08,119
sweat it out a little bit. Thankfully the heat wave

2004
02:00:08,159 --> 02:00:15,960
has broken. Justin g why not do the bonus while

2005
02:00:16,000 --> 02:00:19,199
we're He contributed to the bonus, which one though we

2006
02:00:19,239 --> 02:00:22,640
had like four bonuses, we have four rounds. I believe

2007
02:00:23,840 --> 02:00:27,239
be the booker coming still to come. Don't go nowhere.

2008
02:00:27,640 --> 02:00:30,199
Phil says, we ain't playing around tonight solo. We want

2009
02:00:30,279 --> 02:00:33,199
Double be the Booker. Oh my god, he wanted double

2010
02:00:35,319 --> 02:00:38,840
How old is this message? How many? How many more

2011
02:00:38,840 --> 02:00:44,000
do we have? Says Come on, let's get Triple Be

2012
02:00:44,079 --> 02:00:45,920
the Booker. I got a long day of work tomorrow.

2013
02:00:46,000 --> 02:00:51,560
I need this review to be long. The sheltered kid,

2014
02:00:51,600 --> 02:00:54,439
you have no idea how happy I'm proud I am

2015
02:00:54,479 --> 02:00:57,560
of you being number one. I literally watch you every day.

2016
02:00:57,560 --> 02:01:00,880
You're my favorite podcast and YouTuber. All the Monster sounds

2017
02:01:00,960 --> 02:01:07,399
up for life. I love hearing that. Man, that's really cool.

2018
02:01:07,520 --> 02:01:12,399
I appreciate that. I'm glad you enjoy the content. It

2019
02:01:12,439 --> 02:01:18,560
can be a slog sometimes I enjoy it. It's not hard,

2020
02:01:18,680 --> 02:01:22,479
it's just it's very time consuming. So it's nice to

2021
02:01:22,479 --> 02:01:25,760
know at least that people do like it and appreciate it.

2022
02:01:26,159 --> 02:01:29,680
So when I get a message like that, it's very cool.

2023
02:01:34,079 --> 02:01:38,720
Justin says Yippy Skippy versus suffering Sucketash book it, brother.

2024
02:01:40,199 --> 02:01:43,079
I'll take Yippie Skippy over suffering suck Atash any day

2025
02:01:43,079 --> 02:01:51,520
of the week. Justin activated Triple Be the Booker, so

2026
02:01:51,560 --> 02:01:54,640
you're the one I can credit. Death Side says when

2027
02:01:54,680 --> 02:01:56,800
it comes to La Night. It pains me to say.

2028
02:01:57,159 --> 02:01:59,880
The only way I can see him winning the WWE title.

2029
02:02:00,439 --> 02:02:03,119
Best case scenario, he holds onto it for a month.

2030
02:02:03,800 --> 02:02:09,039
Worst case scenario, he is immediately cashed in on. I

2031
02:02:09,079 --> 02:02:10,800
think the only way that La Night is gonna win

2032
02:02:10,840 --> 02:02:13,640
the WWE Championship is if he accidentally wins it in

2033
02:02:13,680 --> 02:02:18,079
the referee fucks up the count. It's gonna be the

2034
02:02:18,079 --> 02:02:22,800
only way. At this point, it would have to be

2035
02:02:22,840 --> 02:02:33,000
by accident. Fill with a nine ninety nine. Imagine being

2036
02:02:33,039 --> 02:02:36,800
at a company for thirteen years, finally getting the promotion

2037
02:02:36,920 --> 02:02:39,920
that you've always wanted and then having it taken away

2038
02:02:40,000 --> 02:02:48,640
just nine days later. That's exactly how I feel about Sammy. Well,

2039
02:02:49,800 --> 02:02:52,520
yes and no, it's not like he's making any less

2040
02:02:52,560 --> 02:02:55,760
money now than he was twenty four hours ago. It

2041
02:02:55,840 --> 02:02:59,520
is important to keep perspective on these things, though. I

2042
02:02:59,560 --> 02:03:02,760
think when you're the champion or you're involved in the

2043
02:03:02,800 --> 02:03:07,000
main events scene, you get more screen time, which means

2044
02:03:07,000 --> 02:03:09,760
you get more opportunities to be on the show and

2045
02:03:09,800 --> 02:03:13,680
maybe do stuff outside the ring as well. So you know,

2046
02:03:13,720 --> 02:03:16,840
wins and losses in championships they do mean something, right,

2047
02:03:17,239 --> 02:03:21,319
They're not real, You're not winning anything. We know this right,

2048
02:03:21,359 --> 02:03:24,239
it's all a work, not a real sport. We get it.

2049
02:03:25,319 --> 02:03:28,039
But it does mean something, so you're not wrong about that.

2050
02:03:28,119 --> 02:03:30,119
But at the same time, like you get a promotion,

2051
02:03:30,279 --> 02:03:32,520
usually get a pay raise. It's not like they took

2052
02:03:32,560 --> 02:03:35,239
his pay raise away. He's still making the same money

2053
02:03:35,239 --> 02:03:37,199
he was making. Well, I guess unless TKO comes to

2054
02:03:37,279 --> 02:03:40,159
him asking for a fucking pay cut, he's still making

2055
02:03:40,159 --> 02:03:42,760
what he was making before. I just hope that he's

2056
02:03:42,800 --> 02:03:48,199
not shunned away so quickly. He should still be in

2057
02:03:48,239 --> 02:03:58,439
that main picture on Smackdow Phil, thank you again for

2058
02:03:58,479 --> 02:04:07,720
the nine ninety nine we got melic gaming. Would this

2059
02:04:07,840 --> 02:04:14,279
make sense? Says Punk beats Cody at SummerSlam, Cody then

2060
02:04:14,319 --> 02:04:20,000
turns Homelander after Cody feud. Punk feuds with Gunther after

2061
02:04:20,079 --> 02:04:22,920
Gunther finish off twenty twenty six, with him losing to

2062
02:04:23,000 --> 02:04:29,640
Sammy or returning Drew McIntyre. Would it make sense? Sure?

2063
02:04:30,039 --> 02:04:32,199
Do I want to see it play out that way? No,

2064
02:04:33,640 --> 02:04:36,880
We've already seen punkin McIntyre. You blew it off in

2065
02:04:36,920 --> 02:04:40,239
the best possible way inside hell in a cell. I

2066
02:04:40,239 --> 02:04:43,199
don't want to see them go back to it, Sammy.

2067
02:04:43,319 --> 02:04:45,439
I think Sammy is done as far as the world

2068
02:04:45,479 --> 02:04:48,680
title this year, at least this year. He's not getting

2069
02:04:48,680 --> 02:04:50,039
that belt back. I don't think he's gonna get the

2070
02:04:50,039 --> 02:04:55,119
belt back again, so cross that off the list. Cody

2071
02:04:55,159 --> 02:05:00,399
and gunh are a Punk and Gunther. We've seen it already.

2072
02:05:00,520 --> 02:05:02,840
I honestly don't really want to see it again. We

2073
02:05:02,880 --> 02:05:06,680
saw it at Summerslim last year. That's good enough for me.

2074
02:05:08,039 --> 02:05:11,720
I need something something better than this. I need something different.

2075
02:05:13,520 --> 02:05:15,760
You can make it make sense what you've just laid out,

2076
02:05:15,760 --> 02:05:22,960
but it's not what I really want to see. You

2077
02:05:23,039 --> 02:05:25,359
know what I really would love to see now that

2078
02:05:25,439 --> 02:05:27,039
Punk has the belt, if he's gonna have it for

2079
02:05:27,079 --> 02:05:33,479
a while, we need a Kevin Owens return, like in

2080
02:05:33,520 --> 02:05:38,760
the worst way on SmackDown. And I know they've been

2081
02:05:38,880 --> 02:05:42,479
very off and on over the years, but as happy

2082
02:05:42,520 --> 02:05:46,199
and proud as he was of his friend winning that championship,

2083
02:05:46,880 --> 02:05:49,000
now you've given him a reason to have beef with

2084
02:05:49,119 --> 02:05:55,600
CM Punk for showing up unannounced and taking the championship

2085
02:05:55,600 --> 02:05:59,840
away from Sammy's ain. Or maybe he comes at it

2086
02:05:59,840 --> 02:06:01,720
from from a different perspective and says it should have

2087
02:06:01,720 --> 02:06:06,560
been me taking the belt away from Sammy's inane and

2088
02:06:06,640 --> 02:06:08,279
so there you go. You got you already have an

2089
02:06:08,279 --> 02:06:14,279
inspiration for a CM punk. Kevin Owens viewed. I really

2090
02:06:14,279 --> 02:06:21,920
hope we get him back soon. Death Site says, can

2091
02:06:21,960 --> 02:06:24,039
we get all this in Piers in a bar fight

2092
02:06:24,560 --> 02:06:30,239
at SummerSlam? See that's unfair though, because all this all this.

2093
02:06:30,359 --> 02:06:32,960
I don't know if he's a teetotaler, but Pierce is

2094
02:06:33,000 --> 02:06:37,720
clearly an alcoholic, so he would be distracted in a

2095
02:06:37,760 --> 02:06:45,760
bar fight. That doesn't really feel fair to me. Prince

2096
02:06:45,760 --> 02:06:48,760
Maga says, I gotta say thank you Seamus Main event,

2097
02:06:48,960 --> 02:06:51,520
upper mid card or tag team. He always knocked it

2098
02:06:51,560 --> 02:06:53,720
out of the park. In my opinion, he deserved the

2099
02:06:54,079 --> 02:07:00,359
IC at least once. Whatever role you put in men,

2100
02:07:00,399 --> 02:07:04,640
he always excelled. Randy Bobandy with a forty nine to

2101
02:07:04,800 --> 02:07:08,319
ninety nine. Well, I missed the show, got drunk, started

2102
02:07:08,319 --> 02:07:17,279
to rewatch shameless while making some viscous spaghetti. Hmm. Just

2103
02:07:17,319 --> 02:07:21,279
wanted to drop in, show some love and send a

2104
02:07:21,560 --> 02:07:23,520
bow bandy bomb. He's gonna try to get that over.

2105
02:07:23,600 --> 02:07:25,720
You're gonna try to get a bull bandy bomb over

2106
02:07:25,800 --> 02:07:31,399
as a thing works for me. I love the bow

2107
02:07:31,479 --> 02:07:40,279
bandy bombs. Enjoy your viscous spaghetti. It's kind of an

2108
02:07:40,279 --> 02:07:46,680
odd way of putting it. Jeremy Rose says, Pierce will

2109
02:07:46,720 --> 02:07:50,920
accuse all this of stealing punk from Raw Good. Let's

2110
02:07:50,920 --> 02:07:54,239
get a feud going between the two general managers. Not

2111
02:07:54,359 --> 02:08:01,840
for this, mister nice guide bullshit death Side says Maxine

2112
02:08:01,840 --> 02:08:04,520
and Theory as the IT couple. There's only one IT

2113
02:08:04,720 --> 02:08:09,680
couple in WWE all time, and that's Macho Man and Elizabeth.

2114
02:08:14,720 --> 02:08:17,319
Come on, man, we went from the days of Macho

2115
02:08:17,399 --> 02:08:21,159
Man and Elizabeth now to the the even better days

2116
02:08:21,199 --> 02:08:27,560
of Austin Theory and Maxine Dupree. Jeremy says this leads

2117
02:08:27,720 --> 02:08:30,720
to more contention between the gms. I'm all for it.

2118
02:08:32,119 --> 02:08:39,560
Let's build it up. I'm sure all this has indulged

2119
02:08:39,600 --> 02:08:50,439
in the occasional pint of the London fog. Freddie McCrae, congratulations,

2120
02:08:50,439 --> 02:08:53,199
Sola Monster. Like Sammy's a, nobody can ever take this

2121
02:08:53,359 --> 02:08:55,600
moment from you. That's right, No one's gonna be beating

2122
02:08:55,640 --> 02:08:58,399
me for this moment. I can fall back down to

2123
02:08:58,479 --> 02:09:01,520
number two, number five, it don't matter. I got that

2124
02:09:01,600 --> 02:09:07,640
number one spot. Unlike Sammy's Ain, nobody can take that

2125
02:09:07,680 --> 02:09:13,479
away from me, he says, a transitional champion is still

2126
02:09:13,520 --> 02:09:17,600
a champion. The Summer of SoundOff. I like that. I

2127
02:09:17,720 --> 02:09:23,319
like that Summer of SoundOff. As we rapidly approach episode

2128
02:09:23,359 --> 02:09:35,399
one thousand. Thank you, Freddy Jim. Oh I thought this,

2129
02:09:35,439 --> 02:09:39,359
said Jim JM. Maybe his name is Jim. I don't

2130
02:09:39,359 --> 02:09:42,760
know what'll claim JM. Knowing WWE, they'll have Cody beat

2131
02:09:42,840 --> 02:09:46,359
Punk so they can run Cody versus Roman. It crowned jewel.

2132
02:09:46,359 --> 02:09:50,680
Oh God, what is your crown jewel predictions for men's

2133
02:09:50,680 --> 02:09:56,239
and women's Well, I mean I would hope EO beats

2134
02:09:56,279 --> 02:10:00,439
Live so we can end this horrendous reign. And Rhea

2135
02:10:00,600 --> 02:10:03,119
I don't know what her injury status is, but I

2136
02:10:03,119 --> 02:10:06,399
would love to see EO and Rhea a crown jewel.

2137
02:10:09,239 --> 02:10:13,880
As far as the World Heavyweight Championship, Roman will be

2138
02:10:13,920 --> 02:10:23,359
the champion. God, I mean, the Roman and Punk seems

2139
02:10:23,479 --> 02:10:27,880
very likely to me. Right now. I don't want to

2140
02:10:27,880 --> 02:10:31,359
see the belt back on Cody, Not right now. I

2141
02:10:31,840 --> 02:10:35,199
just I don't want to see that to take the

2142
02:10:35,239 --> 02:10:37,119
belt off Cody, to put it on Sammy, to put

2143
02:10:37,159 --> 02:10:39,720
it on Punk, to put it back on Cody. Like

2144
02:10:39,760 --> 02:10:43,000
I'm getting dizzy just saying that out loud. What is

2145
02:10:43,039 --> 02:10:58,279
the purpose of this? James Crawford with the one hundred

2146
02:10:58,479 --> 02:11:05,800
dollars Red of the night. So I love you Solo,

2147
02:11:06,000 --> 02:11:17,239
You're my IWC tribal chief. It's mutual, James, thank you

2148
02:11:17,279 --> 02:11:22,600
for the love. Who place my ula falla around your neck?

2149
02:11:22,760 --> 02:11:29,239
As Roman did to Jacob? Can we talk about that too?

2150
02:11:29,279 --> 02:11:32,279
By the way, Jacob fat to someone who actually had

2151
02:11:32,319 --> 02:11:36,000
real momentum after beating Drew McIntyre coming out of WrestleMania,

2152
02:11:36,439 --> 02:11:40,199
went on to get beat twice by Roman Reigns, and

2153
02:11:40,319 --> 02:11:43,279
Jacob Fotu has been a complete non factor on television

2154
02:11:43,319 --> 02:11:51,199
ever since. He's just another guy on the show. It's terrible.

2155
02:11:52,119 --> 02:11:54,760
Jeremy Rose says, Saturday Night's main event is looking like

2156
02:11:54,800 --> 02:11:59,520
it is now WWF Superstars, not even superstars, dude, it's

2157
02:12:00,600 --> 02:12:05,680
freaking velocity. They better shape that card up real quick.

2158
02:12:05,920 --> 02:12:08,039
I have to imagine they have something up their sleeve,

2159
02:12:08,119 --> 02:12:12,199
because for a Madison Square Garden show, that is an embarrassment.

2160
02:12:16,720 --> 02:12:19,760
Death Side says it's funny how Dan Housen says he's

2161
02:12:19,840 --> 02:12:23,239
very evil. I think nineteen ninety one. Jake Roberts two

2162
02:12:23,239 --> 02:12:25,760
thousand and three, brock Lesner two thousand and eight Chris

2163
02:12:25,880 --> 02:12:30,359
Jericho and two thousand and nine Randy Orton would disagree.

2164
02:12:30,520 --> 02:12:32,800
Nobody says he's very nice as well. He goes back

2165
02:12:32,840 --> 02:12:37,239
and forth. He's very nice, very evil. There was nothing

2166
02:12:37,319 --> 02:12:42,239
nice about any of the men you just mentioned. Freddy

2167
02:12:42,920 --> 02:12:47,119
Ciampunk lost his first championship when Cody and Legacy attacked

2168
02:12:47,159 --> 02:12:49,239
him in the head before he could defend his title

2169
02:12:49,279 --> 02:12:52,279
that night hashtag poetic justice. Oh that was the night

2170
02:12:52,319 --> 02:12:56,039
they did the scramble right and Chris Jericho won a

2171
02:12:56,199 --> 02:13:03,359
terrible scramble match. Never a fan of that stipulation. The

2172
02:13:03,479 --> 02:13:06,359
Shaunathan I think as of right now, with Sammy's Ain

2173
02:13:06,560 --> 02:13:10,159
kind of playing between face and heel, should be a

2174
02:13:10,279 --> 02:13:17,479
favorite for Money in the Bank in October by evolving

2175
02:13:17,920 --> 02:13:23,079
the last good guy. Sammy's Ain winning the briefcase actually

2176
02:13:23,119 --> 02:13:27,840
does make a lot of sense. But honestly, like they

2177
02:13:27,880 --> 02:13:33,960
probably would have him cashing to lose, I don't see

2178
02:13:34,000 --> 02:13:38,039
him getting it back, dude. Bass Beers says, hell in

2179
02:13:38,079 --> 02:13:42,520
a Sale seems like a big escalation. It is. It's

2180
02:13:42,520 --> 02:13:45,600
the perfect blowoff to a feud. That's why I said before,

2181
02:13:45,680 --> 02:13:48,640
like to go back to punk and McIntyre, like no

2182
02:13:50,319 --> 02:13:52,880
been there done that, you had the perfect ending to it.

2183
02:13:53,199 --> 02:14:00,840
Leave it alone. Base bears. Thank you for the the two,

2184
02:14:00,880 --> 02:14:04,039
and there's another two, he says. Hey Yo Desai says

2185
02:14:04,079 --> 02:14:08,359
buyer sell on these two matches that should have gotten

2186
02:14:08,439 --> 02:14:13,560
five stars from Meltzer, but on one match of the

2187
02:14:13,600 --> 02:14:18,359
year in the Pro Wrestling Illustrated. The other one match

2188
02:14:18,399 --> 02:14:20,680
of the year in the Observer Rock versus Hogan at

2189
02:14:20,680 --> 02:14:23,840
WrestleMania eighteen, or Angle Ben Wir versus Edge and Ray

2190
02:14:24,800 --> 02:14:29,079
at No Mercy. Oh, that was two thousand and two.

2191
02:14:29,119 --> 02:14:38,520
That was a great match, Rock Hogan. I mean, you

2192
02:14:38,600 --> 02:14:39,960
just want to if you want to go based on

2193
02:14:40,079 --> 02:14:41,920
work rate, then you go with the tech match. If

2194
02:14:41,960 --> 02:14:43,760
you want to go based on what I think is

2195
02:14:43,800 --> 02:14:48,920
an example of a five star professional wrestling match, it's

2196
02:14:49,000 --> 02:14:54,760
Rock Hogan WrestleMania eighteen. Just the psychology of it, the

2197
02:14:54,800 --> 02:14:58,199
way they were able to just play the crowd, Rock

2198
02:14:58,319 --> 02:15:01,920
having to sort of a adapt as the match went

2199
02:15:01,960 --> 02:15:04,680
on once he realized that he was the villain, even

2200
02:15:04,720 --> 02:15:06,800
though he really wasn't the villain in the story, but

2201
02:15:06,840 --> 02:15:10,479
he sort of went with it and just building to

2202
02:15:10,520 --> 02:15:16,199
that moment where Hogan hulked up and nostalgia it's a

2203
02:15:16,199 --> 02:15:20,399
hell of a drug. Man, everything just the stars aligned,

2204
02:15:21,760 --> 02:15:31,199
Like that match is pro wrestler, it's great, super pony.

2205
02:15:31,239 --> 02:15:35,479
How do you think Sammy feels right now? Not too good.

2206
02:15:36,880 --> 02:15:39,239
You know, he got a lot of really genuine messages

2207
02:15:39,399 --> 02:15:43,800
all week long from colleagues, probably tons of phone calls

2208
02:15:43,800 --> 02:15:48,720
and text messages and dms and people who work with

2209
02:15:48,800 --> 02:15:52,319
him who were genuinely happy for and I'm sure they're

2210
02:15:52,359 --> 02:15:55,800
all bummed. I mean they they're all wrestlers, they all

2211
02:15:55,840 --> 02:15:59,079
work there, they get it, they understand it, and yes

2212
02:15:59,119 --> 02:16:03,720
it's a work, but they know him, they obviously like

2213
02:16:03,800 --> 02:16:06,760
him and respect him, and they probably all feel really

2214
02:16:06,760 --> 02:16:10,279
shitty for him right now. You know, he should feel

2215
02:16:10,319 --> 02:16:12,439
really good about that match he had tonight. But I'm

2216
02:16:12,439 --> 02:16:14,319
sure a big part of him is also like, man,

2217
02:16:15,560 --> 02:16:26,800
you know, like nine fucking days, really nine days? Nick

2218
02:16:26,840 --> 02:16:29,640
Grosso with the nine ninety nine. I think I'm gonna

2219
02:16:29,840 --> 02:16:32,760
like unhinged Lyra. Also next week, she goes face to

2220
02:16:32,799 --> 02:16:36,000
face with Bailey in Texas, where Tatum Pasley is from.

2221
02:16:36,319 --> 02:16:38,959
Does Tatum make her main roster debut and beat down

2222
02:16:39,000 --> 02:16:42,600
Bailey with Lyra? I actually like that idea a lot.

2223
02:16:42,719 --> 02:16:44,239
I think that would be a great way to debut

2224
02:16:44,239 --> 02:16:56,879
Tatum Pasley. I like it super Pony. After tonight, I

2225
02:16:56,920 --> 02:16:59,520
realized I shouldn't get excited about Ko coming back. They're

2226
02:16:59,520 --> 02:17:01,520
not going to do anything good with him. He's forty

2227
02:17:01,559 --> 02:17:03,760
two coming off a neck injury. Who's to say they

2228
02:17:03,760 --> 02:17:11,360
don't ask him to take a pay cut. It's true,

2229
02:17:11,920 --> 02:17:13,920
That's why they went to Seamus and asked him to

2230
02:17:13,920 --> 02:17:18,680
take a pay cut. Older guy out with an injury,

2231
02:17:19,479 --> 02:17:22,959
not really doing a whole lot making really good money,

2232
02:17:23,200 --> 02:17:25,239
as I'm sure Owens is. I wouldn't be shocked if

2233
02:17:25,280 --> 02:17:29,600
Owens was asked to take a pay cut at some point.

2234
02:17:31,920 --> 02:17:35,000
Death Si says, just like Mankind, Sammy won the title

2235
02:17:35,040 --> 02:17:37,799
in a triple threat and then dropped it on bra.

2236
02:17:40,399 --> 02:17:50,680
That's right. He wanted it to SummerSlam the new one.

2237
02:17:50,799 --> 02:17:53,440
I'm calling it now. Brock will lose to Oba in

2238
02:17:53,479 --> 02:17:55,959
the Hell in a Cell. An undertaker will come out

2239
02:17:56,000 --> 02:17:58,159
after the match and in Duck Brock Lesner into the

2240
02:17:58,239 --> 02:18:06,719
WWE Hall of Fame Class of twenty twenty seven. I'm

2241
02:18:06,760 --> 02:18:09,440
gonna say no, I don't think they've ever announced the

2242
02:18:09,440 --> 02:18:16,959
Hall of Fame induction that early. I mean, look, I

2243
02:18:17,000 --> 02:18:22,559
mean being in Minnesota. I guess, I mean, it could

2244
02:18:22,559 --> 02:18:24,479
make for a nice moment for him if he gives

2245
02:18:24,479 --> 02:18:32,079
a shit. I'm gonna say probably not, though. Retro Koh

2246
02:18:32,520 --> 02:18:39,159
says Trivia, how long was Sammy's ain WWE champion Tony Kahan?

2247
02:18:39,520 --> 02:18:44,079
Nine days, nine days, nine days? Yeah, what what was

2248
02:18:44,159 --> 02:18:47,399
up with him that night? Man? Yeah? Those are the

2249
02:18:47,440 --> 02:18:50,520
early days of the Dynamite reviews. Those are those are

2250
02:18:50,559 --> 02:18:54,479
the COVID Dynamite reviews. From Daily's place, nine days you

2251
02:18:54,559 --> 02:19:01,040
have nine days. Death Side says Oba should be the

2252
02:19:01,079 --> 02:19:03,799
guy if Cody turns heel. Yes, Oba's on raw, But

2253
02:19:03,879 --> 02:19:06,399
let's be honest, the brand split is about as meaningful

2254
02:19:06,479 --> 02:19:11,799
as the Andre Battle Royal. I feel you, but they're

2255
02:19:11,799 --> 02:19:16,239
building to Roman and Oba, so Oba's not going to

2256
02:19:16,280 --> 02:19:18,719
be the guy who would have to take Cody's place

2257
02:19:18,760 --> 02:19:22,600
as the top babyface on SmackDown. They probably have him

2258
02:19:22,680 --> 02:19:26,639
already slotted in. On the other side, Devin from NJA says,

2259
02:19:26,639 --> 02:19:29,920
buy your cell. Fans sing Roman Reigns or they sing

2260
02:19:30,079 --> 02:19:36,239
Cody Rhodes. Dude, I am fucking done with both of them.

2261
02:19:36,520 --> 02:19:38,280
I'm at the point now where I just I can't

2262
02:19:38,319 --> 02:19:41,000
stand either one when they sing, when they sing the names.

2263
02:19:41,040 --> 02:19:47,200
It's very annoying, not not not annoying like the what chant,

2264
02:19:47,399 --> 02:19:51,920
but it's it jumped the shark with me a while ago.

2265
02:19:54,479 --> 02:20:00,280
We have Hercules. Hernandez is with us. Wow, from from

2266
02:20:00,280 --> 02:20:06,319
the great Beyond, I have my Hercules Hernandez LJN somewhere

2267
02:20:06,319 --> 02:20:12,920
in a box twenty dollars super chat. Just want to

2268
02:20:12,959 --> 02:20:15,280
ask if you are sick of Roman in the Bloodline

2269
02:20:15,719 --> 02:20:19,159
and how long are we going to keep getting Roman

2270
02:20:19,239 --> 02:20:24,920
headlining WrestleMania listener since twenty eleven, Thank you, Hercules. Am

2271
02:20:24,959 --> 02:20:29,840
I sick of Roman in the Bloodline? I'm I'm kind

2272
02:20:29,840 --> 02:20:33,760
of over it, or at least I wish they would

2273
02:20:34,520 --> 02:20:42,399
evolve the story into something actually interesting. Roman headlining WrestleMania,

2274
02:20:42,399 --> 02:20:44,520
He's going to headline a whole bunch of more WrestleManias.

2275
02:20:44,760 --> 02:20:46,799
We're not anywhere close to being done. In fact, I

2276
02:20:46,920 --> 02:20:50,239
dare say we're in the oh. I don't know, sixth inning.

2277
02:20:50,280 --> 02:20:53,319
Maybe he's probably got at least four or five more

2278
02:20:53,760 --> 02:21:07,920
WrestleMania main events. Yu ki oh Rules, Thank you for

2279
02:21:08,000 --> 02:21:11,000
everything you do solo. Also, does your brother have any

2280
02:21:11,000 --> 02:21:14,319
favorite wrestlers from when you uh, when you all grew

2281
02:21:14,399 --> 02:21:21,399
up together? Or currently from when we were growing up.

2282
02:21:22,079 --> 02:21:23,879
I mean he was I think pretty much a fan

2283
02:21:23,920 --> 02:21:25,719
of a lot of the same people I was, as

2284
02:21:25,760 --> 02:21:30,799
far as you know, macho man, you know, mister perfect

2285
02:21:32,239 --> 02:21:34,120
people like that. I don't think he had any like

2286
02:21:34,319 --> 02:21:37,479
one person that like head and shoulders above the rest

2287
02:21:37,520 --> 02:21:42,399
that he was like a massive fan of. Today he doesn't,

2288
02:21:42,600 --> 02:21:44,920
I mean he barely pays attention to. He doesn't give

2289
02:21:44,920 --> 02:21:54,200
a shit. So death Site says f OTC means face

2290
02:21:54,280 --> 02:21:58,399
of the company. Okay, I don't know why some people

2291
02:21:58,440 --> 02:22:00,280
were shocked. I didn't know what that means. I mean,

2292
02:22:01,719 --> 02:22:04,879
does everybody know what FOTC means? Am I like the

2293
02:22:04,879 --> 02:22:08,719
only one? Some of you make me feel like a leper.

2294
02:22:09,840 --> 02:22:12,079
How do you not know what FOTC means? There was

2295
02:22:12,120 --> 02:22:17,120
somebody before fuck me out of g I don't know.

2296
02:22:17,520 --> 02:22:24,440
I thought it meant fuck the OTC. And keep track

2297
02:22:24,479 --> 02:22:28,879
of all these acronyms, He says, buy cell rent. What

2298
02:22:28,920 --> 02:22:32,000
would hurt worse being bitten by a vampire, a zombie

2299
02:22:32,760 --> 02:22:45,440
or a werewolf? What would hurt worse? I mean, I

2300
02:22:45,479 --> 02:22:49,559
would imagine being bitten by a werewolf right beyond the

2301
02:22:49,600 --> 02:22:52,360
actual bite. Like then when you have to like change

2302
02:22:52,360 --> 02:22:54,879
into the werewolf. If you've seen somebody these like werewolf

2303
02:22:54,879 --> 02:22:58,840
transformations in movies, like with the cgi effects and everything,

2304
02:22:58,840 --> 02:23:02,639
it looks it looks awful, looks like looks like torture.

2305
02:23:03,159 --> 02:23:05,520
I wouldn't want to have to turn into a werewolf.

2306
02:23:13,840 --> 02:23:17,120
Edward Brooks Bailey said Lyra was the person that kept

2307
02:23:17,120 --> 02:23:19,719
her level headed. Perhaps voices come back and we will

2308
02:23:19,719 --> 02:23:23,879
get Crazy Bailey against Angry Bird at SummerSlam Boy. They

2309
02:23:23,879 --> 02:23:31,239
forgot all about Crazy Bailey and the voices, didn't they? EJ.

2310
02:23:31,360 --> 02:23:34,639
Slump I consider you a top wrestling historian into history

2311
02:23:34,680 --> 02:23:37,920
beyond wrestling? Am I into history beyond wrestling? Did you

2312
02:23:37,959 --> 02:23:40,120
like history in school? I was a history major, and

2313
02:23:40,159 --> 02:23:43,319
that's why I asked I did like history in school?

2314
02:23:45,159 --> 02:23:48,239
I did? Yeah, I took even in college, I think

2315
02:23:48,280 --> 02:23:56,959
I took I took politics history. Yeah, not like a

2316
02:23:57,000 --> 02:23:59,879
savant or anything like that, but I took an interest.

2317
02:24:00,079 --> 02:24:06,120
It's too bad more people don't. Mystic J forty four.

2318
02:24:06,159 --> 02:24:08,360
Do you think that we'll get evolution again this year?

2319
02:24:08,719 --> 02:24:15,639
No Deaths says why did Sonic dump Amy because she

2320
02:24:15,760 --> 02:24:25,079
wanted to take things slow? Hmm. Paul Carpenter says, Lyra's

2321
02:24:25,120 --> 02:24:29,000
not a bird girl anymore. She's a call call girl,

2322
02:24:30,479 --> 02:24:36,920
a caca. I see, I see what you're saying. Don't

2323
02:24:36,959 --> 02:24:40,680
quit your day job, Paul. I gotta leave it to

2324
02:24:40,719 --> 02:24:45,360
the experts. Super Pony says, do you think Owens and

2325
02:24:45,520 --> 02:24:48,959
Zane would get proper world title runs in ae W?

2326
02:24:53,719 --> 02:24:58,280
I mean maybe not. They'd have a better chance at it,

2327
02:24:58,319 --> 02:25:02,920
but not necessarily. There's so many more belts in aw

2328
02:25:03,040 --> 02:25:05,879
that they don't have to be a world ship. Tony

2329
02:25:05,920 --> 02:25:08,280
would just put the continental title on them. He'd have

2330
02:25:08,319 --> 02:25:13,440
like Owen to win the Continental Classic or something. I

2331
02:25:13,440 --> 02:25:15,719
wouldn't mind seeing Shamus in there. I'm not gonna lie

2332
02:25:16,760 --> 02:25:20,440
in the C two. Death Size says if Amy Rose

2333
02:25:20,520 --> 02:25:22,840
was a villain, I guarantee her theme song would be

2334
02:25:23,079 --> 02:25:31,920
hammer smashed face by Cannibal Corpse. And super Pony says

2335
02:25:32,159 --> 02:25:42,280
Kevin Steen MJF promo battles. I need it. That would

2336
02:25:42,360 --> 02:25:46,200
be something, wouldn't it. Oh my god, those promos would

2337
02:25:46,200 --> 02:25:49,680
be incredible. Death Size says, speaking of werewolves, I highly

2338
02:25:49,719 --> 02:25:54,319
recommend the horror movie Dog Soldiers. I've not heard of

2339
02:25:54,319 --> 02:26:00,799
that one. You know what? Movie actually kind of stuck

2340
02:26:00,799 --> 02:26:02,520
with me for a while. I'm not even saying it's

2341
02:26:02,559 --> 02:26:08,159
like a great movie. It's not like a horror movie.

2342
02:26:08,200 --> 02:26:11,760
Actually at all. The situation is kind of a horror.

2343
02:26:11,760 --> 02:26:16,040
But it was a movie with Justin Timberlake that came

2344
02:26:16,040 --> 02:26:20,239
out probably like six or something. Maybe maybe it was earlier,

2345
02:26:20,920 --> 02:26:24,840
Alpha Dog, which was either inspired by or based on

2346
02:26:24,920 --> 02:26:28,440
an actual story, which makes it even worse. Man that

2347
02:26:28,520 --> 02:26:31,399
movie that fucked me up. Man, just knowing that was

2348
02:26:31,399 --> 02:26:35,120
a real life situation if you know the premise of

2349
02:26:35,159 --> 02:26:39,440
the movie. That movie stuck with me. Actually Timberlake was

2350
02:26:40,399 --> 02:26:42,920
not bad in that movie, but that movie, I know

2351
02:26:42,959 --> 02:26:46,120
you mentioned you mentioned dogs. For some reason, I thought

2352
02:26:46,159 --> 02:26:48,760
of Alpha Dog. I haven't seen that movie in forever,

2353
02:26:48,799 --> 02:26:52,799
but yeah, that movie messed me up for a while. Anyway,

2354
02:26:52,840 --> 02:26:57,120
I think we have gotten through. I believe all of

2355
02:26:57,159 --> 02:27:00,280
the messages, all of the super chats man you got. Guys.

2356
02:27:01,360 --> 02:27:05,319
We had a big week last week, and you guys

2357
02:27:05,680 --> 02:27:07,559
have started this week off in a way that I

2358
02:27:07,559 --> 02:27:09,239
don't know that we're gonna be able to top, although

2359
02:27:09,239 --> 02:27:11,639
we do have a big dynamite coming up. Beach Break

2360
02:27:11,680 --> 02:27:16,319
on Wednesday. Kenny Omega MJF for the aw World Championship

2361
02:27:17,559 --> 02:27:20,959
and the Women's Casino Gauntlet should be a big show

2362
02:27:21,000 --> 02:27:26,280
on Wednesday as well. But we have I believe, correct

2363
02:27:26,319 --> 02:27:32,559
me if I'm wrong, four rounds, four rounds of be

2364
02:27:32,639 --> 02:27:35,440
the booker to do. So we're not gonna waste any

2365
02:27:35,440 --> 02:27:38,680
more time. Let's get into it. Here we go, exciting,

2366
02:27:39,079 --> 02:27:47,319
exciting time to be the booker. Oh, I'm excited. We're

2367
02:27:47,319 --> 02:27:52,159
gonna book some matches. We're gonna book some good matches too.

2368
02:27:55,319 --> 02:27:59,319
I can feel it. I got a good feeling about this.

2369
02:28:02,239 --> 02:28:05,920
We're gonna get started with the Butcher and the Blade,

2370
02:28:06,360 --> 02:28:09,200
who were no longer employed by AW by the way,

2371
02:28:10,040 --> 02:28:14,280
I believe they are free agents. Never won the tag

2372
02:28:14,319 --> 02:28:18,120
team titles in AW For as many titles as they

2373
02:28:18,120 --> 02:28:20,959
have in that company, they never were able to capture

2374
02:28:21,000 --> 02:28:23,280
those championships. They were there in the early days and

2375
02:28:23,280 --> 02:28:26,959
then they kind of fizzled out after a while. The

2376
02:28:27,000 --> 02:28:30,120
Butcher and the Blade. Oh, this this is a I mean,

2377
02:28:30,159 --> 02:28:36,520
this is a fucking rampage match against the Outrunners. I

2378
02:28:36,559 --> 02:28:38,959
mean that's I like the Outrunners at all, But my god,

2379
02:28:39,000 --> 02:28:42,079
I mean, can we can we book something above the

2380
02:28:42,159 --> 02:28:47,280
level of rampage? That's this is a straight out of

2381
02:28:47,280 --> 02:28:54,040
that show. Come on now, man, wwe is doing a

2382
02:28:54,120 --> 02:28:57,840
terrible job of booking Saturday Nights made event. I would

2383
02:28:57,920 --> 02:29:01,639
like to take over and the show at Madison Square Garden.

2384
02:29:02,000 --> 02:29:04,399
So I need I need some big matches here. Man,

2385
02:29:04,920 --> 02:29:09,040
we got to do better. Choose four women and book

2386
02:29:09,079 --> 02:29:16,600
a tag team match. Okay, we can do that. We

2387
02:29:16,680 --> 02:29:22,040
can do that Women's tag team belt. Hey Brian in

2388
02:29:22,079 --> 02:29:26,159
the chat, what's going on, Brian? I see you. We

2389
02:29:26,319 --> 02:29:31,360
have Ruby Soho. This is all aw talent so far.

2390
02:29:34,280 --> 02:29:37,840
We need a WWE person in here. Ruby Soho and

2391
02:29:38,399 --> 02:29:42,840
Mako Sadamora are going to be a tag team. She's

2392
02:29:42,920 --> 02:29:48,600
retired by the way. Ruby and Mako are going to

2393
02:29:48,639 --> 02:29:54,239
be taking on Shana Basler, who we just announced is

2394
02:29:54,280 --> 02:29:58,520
coming into House of Glory for High Intensity coming up

2395
02:29:58,520 --> 02:30:08,040
on August seventh, the Queen of Spades. It's coming back SHANEA.

2396
02:30:08,120 --> 02:30:16,120
Basler and not Timeless, but Tony storm Man. We have

2397
02:30:16,239 --> 02:30:21,680
not had a single like WWE main roster star yet

2398
02:30:21,879 --> 02:30:26,719
through two rounds, but I do like that match. Tony

2399
02:30:26,719 --> 02:30:28,920
storm and SHANEA. Basler is a tag team against Mako

2400
02:30:29,000 --> 02:30:33,879
Sotamora and Ruby. That's a good match right there. All right, now,

2401
02:30:33,920 --> 02:30:37,399
we have our first of four main events, four of

2402
02:30:37,440 --> 02:30:41,639
them this is what you guys have unlocked tonight. That's

2403
02:30:41,680 --> 02:30:43,840
basically a full Saturday Night's Made event card. When you

2404
02:30:43,879 --> 02:30:48,760
think about it, it's four matches right. Yes, this has

2405
02:30:48,760 --> 02:30:51,879
been very aw heavy. We need we need some WWE

2406
02:30:51,920 --> 02:30:56,159
influence here. Well, I don't know, I mean, what do

2407
02:30:56,239 --> 02:30:59,600
you what do you say? This is kind of still aw.

2408
02:31:00,639 --> 02:31:04,920
We have the American Nightmare. We can't escape him, Cody Rhodes.

2409
02:31:08,319 --> 02:31:09,799
Is it fair to say now that we have some

2410
02:31:09,920 --> 02:31:12,920
WWE flavor because it's kind of it's kind of still aw.

2411
02:31:15,440 --> 02:31:18,479
He was, he was an EVP. He's one of the

2412
02:31:18,520 --> 02:31:25,120
founding fathers. You may not like him, but you can't

2413
02:31:25,200 --> 02:31:32,920
escape him. He may not be hard to find, but

2414
02:31:33,000 --> 02:31:37,520
he's hard to beat. Cody Rhodes is going to be

2415
02:31:37,520 --> 02:31:43,760
stepping into the ring with John Moxley. John Moxley, this

2416
02:31:44,319 --> 02:31:47,200
is wow. Be the Booker is I think Be the

2417
02:31:47,200 --> 02:31:54,040
Booker has has been converted into a sicko. I think

2418
02:31:54,159 --> 02:31:58,040
Be the Booker has gone full sicko tonight. Wow, Be

2419
02:31:58,120 --> 02:32:04,319
the Booker has made its choice on which side of

2420
02:32:04,319 --> 02:32:10,239
the fence it wants to go. Well, that's only round

2421
02:32:10,360 --> 02:32:16,159
number one. Now we have stipulations. The whole rest of

2422
02:32:16,200 --> 02:32:20,319
the way. But remember before we get to that. If

2423
02:32:20,399 --> 02:32:23,399
you remember the first Superjack goal, it was for an

2424
02:32:23,440 --> 02:32:27,120
intergender round of Be the Booker. So before we actually

2425
02:32:27,159 --> 02:32:30,760
get to the stipulations, we actually have to book an

2426
02:32:30,799 --> 02:32:38,799
intergender match. Don't think I forgot about that. Retro says,

2427
02:32:38,840 --> 02:32:41,959
Be the Booker is all elite. All right, we get

2428
02:32:42,000 --> 02:32:45,600
one intergender match and then we move on to round

2429
02:32:45,680 --> 02:32:51,920
number two. It's going to be well. I mean, we

2430
02:32:52,040 --> 02:32:55,440
call her Daria where we call her Sonia Blaze, Sonia Blade,

2431
02:32:55,440 --> 02:33:15,040
Sonya Deville, Sonia Deville against who against VIKINGO. I feel

2432
02:33:15,040 --> 02:33:17,600
bad for VIKINGO. I'm going with Sonya to win this match.

2433
02:33:17,680 --> 02:33:22,200
I think Sonya would actually probably give him a pretty

2434
02:33:22,200 --> 02:33:25,479
tough fight. It's unfortunate though, it's kind of funny. Actually,

2435
02:33:25,479 --> 02:33:27,680
oh not funny. But like we land on VIKINGO. Here

2436
02:33:29,000 --> 02:33:31,959
we got an update. We got an update on VIKINGO.

2437
02:33:32,000 --> 02:33:37,840
It's not good. He injured himself last week prior to

2438
02:33:37,879 --> 02:33:41,680
the NXT show, like earlier that day. I guess maybe

2439
02:33:41,680 --> 02:33:45,520
going over his match or something, and he hurt his knee.

2440
02:33:45,959 --> 02:33:49,200
He had wrestled Ray Phoenix on SmackDown the night before,

2441
02:33:49,280 --> 02:33:52,959
which was taped, and they had a really good match.

2442
02:33:53,559 --> 02:33:56,799
He was fine. He got hurt during the day on Tuesday,

2443
02:33:57,959 --> 02:34:03,120
had an MRI done. Don't have an actual diagnosis, but

2444
02:34:03,200 --> 02:34:07,799
he's having surgery. So whatever it is, it's serious, because

2445
02:34:07,799 --> 02:34:10,120
if it wasn't serious, he wouldn't be having surgery. So

2446
02:34:10,159 --> 02:34:12,440
I don't know if it's a torn acl or exactly

2447
02:34:12,479 --> 02:34:14,639
what the injury is. His leg is in a brace.

2448
02:34:15,520 --> 02:34:19,399
He posted pictures on his social media and he's going

2449
02:34:19,440 --> 02:34:21,879
to be having surgery. So I don't know what that

2450
02:34:22,000 --> 02:34:25,520
means for the Triple A Latin American title, but he's

2451
02:34:25,559 --> 02:34:27,440
gonna be gone for a while. I don't know what

2452
02:34:27,440 --> 02:34:32,719
that means for Omas. Omas has nobody to look after

2453
02:34:32,760 --> 02:34:38,200
now in Triple A. All right, now, let's move on

2454
02:34:38,239 --> 02:34:42,680
to round number two and from here on out we

2455
02:34:42,799 --> 02:34:47,360
have stipulations that we will pick at random for each

2456
02:34:47,399 --> 02:34:54,680
of these matches. So we're going to begin with man.

2457
02:34:54,760 --> 02:34:58,079
I'm telling you mail is what is going on? Would

2458
02:34:58,079 --> 02:35:03,879
be the booker tonight first stipulation, and we see a

2459
02:35:03,879 --> 02:35:08,440
hangman just drenched in blood. It is a Texas death match.

2460
02:35:11,399 --> 02:35:18,360
This this is just this is out of control tonight. Uh, well,

2461
02:35:18,360 --> 02:35:19,959
we'll start with the men then, I mean we're gonna

2462
02:35:19,959 --> 02:35:22,079
do a Texas Death Match. We'll do it with the

2463
02:35:22,399 --> 02:35:31,639
with the men, Big Bronzon Reid. If you've seen pictures

2464
02:35:31,639 --> 02:35:35,600
of him online, he's not quite as big anymore. But hey,

2465
02:35:35,639 --> 02:35:41,600
we finally got a WWE guy man Big Bronson reading

2466
02:35:41,680 --> 02:35:56,479
at Texas Deathmatch. Oh oh no, this is this is

2467
02:35:56,600 --> 02:36:01,920
very depressing. This is very depressing. How can we land

2468
02:36:01,959 --> 02:36:11,319
on this tonight? Oh man? Ah, this is just a

2469
02:36:11,360 --> 02:36:13,399
bummer of an image here, man, I mean, look, this

2470
02:36:13,479 --> 02:36:18,719
is happier times. This is much happier times for Sammy's day.

2471
02:36:19,879 --> 02:36:24,719
This was only a few days ago. This be the

2472
02:36:24,760 --> 02:36:27,799
booker is very cruel, man, this is like a sick joke.

2473
02:36:32,440 --> 02:36:37,719
Oh man, that is very very cruel. Tonight of all nights.

2474
02:36:50,079 --> 02:36:54,719
All right, we need a stipulation now for a women's match.

2475
02:36:55,840 --> 02:37:00,639
Oh my god, first ever female Punjabi is in match.

2476
02:37:02,879 --> 02:37:06,799
Are you ready? Are you ready for some Punjabi prison

2477
02:37:07,280 --> 02:37:15,159
with the ladies. Jordan Grace? Who's that? I don't know

2478
02:37:15,159 --> 02:37:19,840
who this person is. Who's Jordan Grace? Is she a wrestler?

2479
02:37:24,719 --> 02:37:36,719
I don't know, but she's in the Punjabi prison. Well,

2480
02:37:36,719 --> 02:37:39,680
there she is again, Jordan Grace against makeup Sodomore in

2481
02:37:39,719 --> 02:37:47,000
a Punjabi prison match, and despite the awful stipulation, I

2482
02:37:47,079 --> 02:37:49,760
actually think that would be a very good match. I

2483
02:37:49,760 --> 02:37:54,399
think they would just sort of, you know, have themselves

2484
02:37:54,440 --> 02:37:57,280
a great wrestling match and when the time was right, Now,

2485
02:37:57,319 --> 02:38:00,360
what is the stipulation, you gotta climb out, right, We'd

2486
02:38:00,360 --> 02:38:02,040
get a great wrestling match out of it, and then

2487
02:38:02,040 --> 02:38:04,079
when the time was right, they would they would climb out.

2488
02:38:04,639 --> 02:38:09,280
She's pulling double duty tonight though she's supposed to be retired.

2489
02:38:10,159 --> 02:38:12,440
Not only is she out of retirement, now she's put

2490
02:38:12,559 --> 02:38:19,639
pulling double duty on this show. We're going in reverse

2491
02:38:19,680 --> 02:38:21,200
if you couldn't tell, because now we're going to do

2492
02:38:21,239 --> 02:38:23,440
a tag team match. This tag team match is going

2493
02:38:23,479 --> 02:38:34,639
to be a tag team lions Den match. Hmmm, now

2494
02:38:34,719 --> 02:38:39,600
these are I'm still on the stipulations. All right, here

2495
02:38:39,639 --> 02:38:42,520
we go. We have a lions Den tag team match

2496
02:38:42,559 --> 02:38:53,000
with Big Show and Miss Miss show Biz. I don't

2497
02:38:53,000 --> 02:39:00,959
remember their tag team name, and they will be taking

2498
02:39:01,000 --> 02:39:05,079
on the Street Profits. Also did not have a very

2499
02:39:05,120 --> 02:39:07,760
good night like Sammy's Ain. But here we are with

2500
02:39:07,840 --> 02:39:13,559
the with the Street Profits. I have to bel that one,

2501
02:39:13,639 --> 02:39:15,920
just because of how fascinated I am at the prospect

2502
02:39:15,959 --> 02:39:19,040
of a tag team Lions. That match doesn't seem like

2503
02:39:19,040 --> 02:39:21,719
there would be a whole lot of room to maneuver

2504
02:39:21,840 --> 02:39:23,840
with four people, especially if you had someone like Big

2505
02:39:23,840 --> 02:39:27,920
Show in there. Oh Show Miz. I was totally wrong.

2506
02:39:32,719 --> 02:39:35,959
I was totally wrong. What a terrible name. How fucking

2507
02:39:36,120 --> 02:39:38,479
lazy have they gotten with tag team names in the

2508
02:39:38,559 --> 02:39:48,680
last decade? Good lord? All right, Well we're halfway there.

2509
02:39:49,760 --> 02:39:58,920
We are halfway there. We have round number three? Was

2510
02:39:58,920 --> 02:40:05,559
that a sonic? Oh? Right? Okay, I'm sorry I could

2511
02:40:05,559 --> 02:40:07,559
have sworn I buzzed one of them. I guess not.

2512
02:40:09,319 --> 02:40:14,280
All right, so we got one sweep. We have tribal combats.

2513
02:40:15,440 --> 02:40:21,440
Oh boy, it's gonna be the Battle of the Ulafalla everybody.

2514
02:40:21,920 --> 02:40:26,760
Tribal combat is about to go down. And even better,

2515
02:40:26,760 --> 02:40:30,040
we're doing tribal combat with the ladies because we're gonna

2516
02:40:30,040 --> 02:40:34,440
start with the women this time. I don't even know

2517
02:40:34,440 --> 02:40:37,959
if that's allowed. Are the women allowed to have tribal combat?

2518
02:40:39,479 --> 02:40:41,479
I mean, there may be rules against this sort of thing.

2519
02:40:41,520 --> 02:40:49,600
I don't know. Oh, it's Ley ying Lie, the former

2520
02:40:49,719 --> 02:40:58,040
Zaia Lee and the now former TNA Knockouts champion Okay

2521
02:41:01,120 --> 02:41:13,280
in tribal combat against MEDUSA Nothing about this match makes

2522
02:41:13,319 --> 02:41:21,000
any sense. Why would they be in tribal combat. Yeah,

2523
02:41:21,040 --> 02:41:23,680
that's a that's a miss. That's a misfire, is what

2524
02:41:23,760 --> 02:41:32,280
that is. We have a tables match. See this, This

2525
02:41:32,360 --> 02:41:33,920
is one we could do with the tag teams. We

2526
02:41:33,959 --> 02:41:42,000
have a tag team tables match. Here we have Hollywood

2527
02:41:42,079 --> 02:41:47,600
Hogan and the Worm Dennis Rodman, both WWE Hall of Famers,

2528
02:41:47,639 --> 02:42:00,959
by the way, in a tables match with Met Johnson

2529
02:42:01,239 --> 02:42:11,920
and Stevie Ray. There's Clarence may Who is that in

2530
02:42:11,959 --> 02:42:14,840
the background? I asked, Clarence Mason in the fourth that's

2531
02:42:14,879 --> 02:42:22,879
not master ps Uh, Clarence Mason there in the foreground. Man,

2532
02:42:22,879 --> 02:42:25,360
this is not going well. This might be the first

2533
02:42:25,440 --> 02:42:34,399
reverse sweep that we have of the night. This is

2534
02:42:34,479 --> 02:42:38,959
not going well. Oh, we have another intergender you know,

2535
02:42:39,000 --> 02:42:41,120
I just realized that tag team match is like Hulk

2536
02:42:41,120 --> 02:42:46,200
Cogan's worst nightmare, if you know, you know, intergender match.

2537
02:42:48,559 --> 02:42:51,440
We have an intergener We just didn't intergender match. Now

2538
02:42:51,440 --> 02:42:57,159
we get to do another one. Aren't you excited? Well,

2539
02:42:57,159 --> 02:43:01,280
we should be able to do better than Sonya Deville.

2540
02:43:03,479 --> 02:43:06,719
What was the one we just did? Sonya Deville? Thank god?

2541
02:43:06,760 --> 02:43:14,159
I already forgot what the match was well, whatever that

2542
02:43:14,200 --> 02:43:20,479
match was that we booked three minutes ago, Zoe Stark,

2543
02:43:21,959 --> 02:43:24,719
there's another one here. Never really got the chance to

2544
02:43:24,760 --> 02:43:29,440
come back and tell that comeback story in WWE. It's

2545
02:43:29,479 --> 02:43:34,120
going by Zoe Serrano on the independen scene. Now, oh VIKINGO,

2546
02:43:34,200 --> 02:43:37,680
thank you. Yes, we had Sonya Deville against the King Goo.

2547
02:43:38,200 --> 02:43:43,319
This time we were going to have Zoe Stark just

2548
02:43:43,399 --> 02:43:51,479
back from a devastating injury, about to be put on

2549
02:43:51,520 --> 02:44:01,239
the shelf with another devastating injury. Oh, this was just

2550
02:44:02,200 --> 02:44:08,280
oh man, this round was just all over the place.

2551
02:44:08,799 --> 02:44:11,719
This was what round number three? This? This was this

2552
02:44:11,879 --> 02:44:19,120
was not it? This round was not it. Poor Zoe Stark,

2553
02:44:19,200 --> 02:44:22,040
by the way, just came back from injury. Now in

2554
02:44:22,079 --> 02:44:27,680
there with the world's strongest man, the Hall, the Hall

2555
02:44:27,760 --> 02:44:29,879
of Pain. It will not end well for Zoe Stark.

2556
02:44:33,159 --> 02:44:36,840
All right, this is it round number four. We need

2557
02:44:36,840 --> 02:44:42,840
to come back, We need to come back. Here we're

2558
02:44:42,920 --> 02:44:53,079
kicking off with a tag team parking lot brawl. Here

2559
02:44:53,120 --> 02:44:57,040
we go. The fuck is wrong with Be the Booker.

2560
02:44:57,079 --> 02:45:00,840
I don't know. Something something off with Be the Booker.

2561
02:45:00,879 --> 02:45:07,120
Tonight we have pretty deadly Kit Wilson and Elton Prince

2562
02:45:07,200 --> 02:45:10,799
poor Kit Wilson is just sitting around now after being

2563
02:45:10,840 --> 02:45:13,840
electrocuted a few weeks ago. Nobody seems to give a shit.

2564
02:45:15,159 --> 02:45:17,719
Elton Prince, I don't know when he's going to wrestle again.

2565
02:45:20,479 --> 02:45:31,000
Tag Team parking Lot Brawl with pretty Deadly against the

2566
02:45:31,120 --> 02:45:37,520
Judgment Day, Damian Priest and Finn Balor. The parking lot

2567
02:45:37,559 --> 02:45:40,920
brawl is I think a potentially very fun stipulation if

2568
02:45:40,920 --> 02:45:43,479
it works the way that the original one worked with

2569
02:45:43,879 --> 02:45:46,360
Cina and Eddie. You have all these cars in a

2570
02:45:46,399 --> 02:45:49,239
circle and everybody is just kind of hanging around. They're

2571
02:45:49,280 --> 02:45:52,920
honking the horns and they're chairing them on and you

2572
02:45:53,079 --> 02:45:55,559
just have a giant brawl. Now. They had a parking

2573
02:45:55,600 --> 02:45:59,040
lot brawl in aw that was really good with I

2574
02:45:59,079 --> 02:46:02,360
want to say, what was it? Best Friends against Lax?

2575
02:46:03,319 --> 02:46:06,920
Is that what? Or Proud and Powerful? I think that

2576
02:46:06,959 --> 02:46:10,239
was the match. I remember that one being very good,

2577
02:46:10,799 --> 02:46:14,479
So I mean this one has potential. I give that

2578
02:46:14,559 --> 02:46:20,799
a bell. Yeah, that's a that's a total Judgment Day

2579
02:46:20,879 --> 02:46:25,120
win right there. You guys got to be picking winners

2580
02:46:25,360 --> 02:46:28,920
as we go along. Here we have all the dread

2581
02:46:29,000 --> 02:46:34,719
Oh my god, oh my goodness, Oh you're the dreaded

2582
02:46:34,959 --> 02:46:44,680
Yappa pie strap match. Get ready for the strapation, everybody.

2583
02:46:45,719 --> 02:46:48,959
I hope the ladies are ready. We have a women's

2584
02:46:49,360 --> 02:46:56,239
Yappa pie strap match on the way. Nobody wins here.

2585
02:46:57,600 --> 02:47:06,319
There are no winners, only losers. We have Koraje Aide

2586
02:47:07,120 --> 02:47:09,559
Korra What is that? Don't you know what? If you

2587
02:47:09,559 --> 02:47:11,680
don't know what a Yappa pie strap matches, don't even

2588
02:47:11,719 --> 02:47:17,879
bother asking. It's very real though. Ronda Rousey in a

2589
02:47:17,959 --> 02:47:25,600
Yappa pie strap man. God, that sounds absolutely awful, absolutely dreadful.

2590
02:47:26,959 --> 02:47:34,600
Coorage Aide against Ronda Rousey a in a Yappa pie

2591
02:47:34,719 --> 02:47:44,719
strap match. It all comes down to this. This is it.

2592
02:47:45,120 --> 02:47:48,000
We're almost three hours in. This would be like the

2593
02:47:48,040 --> 02:47:50,200
main event of a three hour SmackDown. You've made it

2594
02:47:50,200 --> 02:47:52,600
this far. We need to make it worth your while.

2595
02:47:53,760 --> 02:48:00,239
We need a good stipulation. We have a submission match,

2596
02:48:02,200 --> 02:48:06,600
not a bad stipulation. Could be a lot worse. I

2597
02:48:06,719 --> 02:48:15,280
like it. So here we go, no pin falls, submissions only.

2598
02:48:16,239 --> 02:48:19,719
This is the longest and largest, by the way. Addition

2599
02:48:19,799 --> 02:48:23,319
to be the booker that we have ever done. This

2600
02:48:23,399 --> 02:48:24,159
is tremendous.

2601
02:48:25,680 --> 02:48:40,600
Speaker 2: We have oh no, oh boy, oh boy, it's back Yoshihiko.

2602
02:48:41,760 --> 02:48:46,280
Speaker 1: Yoshihiko the blow up Doll is in the main event

2603
02:48:47,239 --> 02:48:52,360
of be the Booker in a submission match. I cannot believe.

2604
02:48:55,559 --> 02:49:00,799
I cannot believe that Yoshihiko has We just had Yoshihiko

2605
02:49:00,840 --> 02:49:06,639
a few weeks ago, ring the bell. No, no, no, no,

2606
02:49:06,639 --> 02:49:14,239
we got to find an opponent first. What is that?

2607
02:49:14,879 --> 02:49:17,440
There's so many people who are uncultured in this shadow

2608
02:49:17,479 --> 02:49:21,479
of no idea. Fuck this, he's getting a second drum roll?

2609
02:49:22,319 --> 02:49:25,959
How do you not know Yoshihiko. Gotta know your wrestling history.

2610
02:49:27,799 --> 02:49:34,360
Yoshihiko and Shingo Takagi. There you go. What a fucking

2611
02:49:34,399 --> 02:49:47,159
main event. Yoshihiko and Shingo in a submission match. That's it.

2612
02:49:48,319 --> 02:49:50,360
That's it. What do you think of the overall card?

2613
02:49:50,719 --> 02:49:54,000
Is it better than Saturday Night's main event? I think so.

2614
02:49:55,959 --> 02:50:01,719
I would say so yes. Super Pony says, would they

2615
02:50:01,799 --> 02:50:09,040
ask Randy to take a pay cut? No? There are

2616
02:50:09,040 --> 02:50:13,600
certain people who I think they know better, and I

2617
02:50:13,639 --> 02:50:17,120
cannot imagine going to Randy Orton and asking him to

2618
02:50:17,159 --> 02:50:25,760
take a pay cut. Who goes over Yoshihiko. Clearly, Yoshihiko

2619
02:50:25,840 --> 02:50:30,200
strikes the main event seen again. You know Yoshiko is

2620
02:50:30,239 --> 02:50:37,120
going over. Kevin says, CM Punk, CM Punk. I like Sammy,

2621
02:50:37,159 --> 02:50:41,520
but I'm glad that Punk won. So is everybody else

2622
02:50:41,559 --> 02:50:46,079
in Chicago based on the sounds of it. Tonight, super

2623
02:50:46,120 --> 02:50:48,280
Pony says, am I wrong to feel like bron Breaker

2624
02:50:48,319 --> 02:50:51,360
and Gunther are dead characters? I don't feel anything when

2625
02:50:51,360 --> 02:50:53,959
I see either one of them on TV anymore. No,

2626
02:50:54,040 --> 02:50:57,879
you're not wrong. I wouldn't say I don't feel anything

2627
02:50:57,920 --> 02:51:00,440
like when Gunther's on screen, but he's definitely lost a

2628
02:51:00,479 --> 02:51:02,360
lot of the aura that he had earlier in the year.

2629
02:51:02,479 --> 02:51:08,319
He just feels he's lost something, and Breaker has absolutely

2630
02:51:08,360 --> 02:51:12,799
lost something. Jacob Fatu, I mean he's worse off now

2631
02:51:12,799 --> 02:51:14,879
than he was going into that feud. But Roman, I mean,

2632
02:51:15,799 --> 02:51:18,520
this is this is a problem. This is a problem

2633
02:51:18,600 --> 02:51:22,680
with multiple people right now in WWE. It's not good

2634
02:51:26,959 --> 02:51:30,600
and Navy forty one eighty one. Send Sammy to Triple

2635
02:51:30,639 --> 02:51:34,200
A as l Generico. It did wonders for Kaiser. Plus

2636
02:51:34,200 --> 02:51:38,079
he'll be in good hands with the under Taco. I

2637
02:51:38,120 --> 02:51:40,079
don't know why he called him the under Taco, but

2638
02:51:40,120 --> 02:51:43,000
that is fucking hilarious. That would be the most hilarious

2639
02:51:44,559 --> 02:51:53,000
auto correct in the history of auto correct the under Taco. Wow.

2640
02:51:54,959 --> 02:51:56,879
I don't even know what to say to that. EJ.

2641
02:51:57,040 --> 02:52:00,159
Slim says, as Yoshihiko's number one fan is much which

2642
02:52:00,159 --> 02:52:03,440
is I love Shingo and Okada. I wish Yoshi Yoshihiko

2643
02:52:03,639 --> 02:52:08,200
is facing American talent instead. Well, maybe Yoshihiko could go

2644
02:52:08,280 --> 02:52:15,559
on the excursion. Send Yoshihiko on excursion to the States.

2645
02:52:15,879 --> 02:52:18,399
The only thing is like to get Yoshihiko's work visa

2646
02:52:18,879 --> 02:52:28,600
taken care of. It might take some time. I don't

2647
02:52:28,639 --> 02:52:30,040
I don't know where that that's what it says. It's

2648
02:52:30,040 --> 02:52:37,680
what it says in the super chat Mikey claiming why

2649
02:52:37,719 --> 02:52:42,920
don't we see submission matches anymore? I don't know. I

2650
02:52:42,920 --> 02:52:44,920
mean there's a decent number of people I feel like

2651
02:52:45,040 --> 02:52:50,520
who who have submission finishers gun through with the sleeper.

2652
02:52:51,600 --> 02:52:55,239
Look at Russev tonight he won with the Accolade Punkasniana

2653
02:52:55,280 --> 02:53:01,440
con device. I mean, there are others, so if they

2654
02:53:01,479 --> 02:53:05,159
could do it, it's just not a very popular stipulation.

2655
02:53:05,520 --> 02:53:06,879
You have to save it for I guess, the right

2656
02:53:06,879 --> 02:53:11,680
occasion and preferably have two people who are either submission

2657
02:53:11,719 --> 02:53:15,120
specialists or they have a submission move and then you

2658
02:53:15,159 --> 02:53:17,920
can do it. But it's not a very sexy stipulation.

2659
02:53:18,079 --> 02:53:25,239
You're not gonna sell any tickets or ESPN app purchases

2660
02:53:25,760 --> 02:53:34,200
with a submission match. Ooh book Yoshihiko to h Og.

2661
02:53:34,520 --> 02:53:40,319
That's interesting. Could be some tough negotiations going on. I'm

2662
02:53:40,319 --> 02:53:44,200
gonna need an interpreter first. I may have to look

2663
02:53:44,239 --> 02:53:48,440
into that. And Super Pony, we never got Ko again

2664
02:53:48,520 --> 02:53:54,280
Seamus one on one that sucks. That does suck, and

2665
02:53:54,360 --> 02:53:57,799
they spent many years together on the main roster and

2666
02:53:57,840 --> 02:54:00,000
they never they never had a singles match. That's crazy,

2667
02:54:04,799 --> 02:54:07,239
Holy shit wrestling. Have you ever seen the one hundred

2668
02:54:07,280 --> 02:54:11,040
and eight man Japan Rumble in twenty eleven? I have not.

2669
02:54:12,879 --> 02:54:21,239
I am unaware of this. That's a lot of people anyway,

2670
02:54:21,280 --> 02:54:26,280
Thank you guys. This has been a blowaway stream here.

2671
02:54:26,520 --> 02:54:30,040
We just passed the three hour mark. It is almost

2672
02:54:30,040 --> 02:54:33,000
two fifteen in the morning here on the East Coast.

2673
02:54:33,799 --> 02:54:37,040
Big raw and we got a big dynamite coming up

2674
02:54:37,079 --> 02:54:41,120
on Wednesday again. MJF Kenny Omega. If Omega does not win,

2675
02:54:41,799 --> 02:54:44,920
he can never again challenge for the AW World Championship.

2676
02:54:45,000 --> 02:54:47,760
Why are they doing this on television and not saving

2677
02:54:47,760 --> 02:54:51,719
it for Redemption. Hopefully that will become clear at the

2678
02:54:51,799 --> 02:54:54,000
end of the show on Wednesday, because on the surface

2679
02:54:54,040 --> 02:54:58,639
it seems very stupid. Takeshta is defending his international title

2680
02:54:58,639 --> 02:55:02,040
against Kyle Fletcher. Takesha is on his way to Japan

2681
02:55:02,159 --> 02:55:03,840
very soon to be a part of the g One,

2682
02:55:04,000 --> 02:55:05,600
so I would keep an eye out for a title

2683
02:55:05,680 --> 02:55:10,479
change there. Jericho and Shampa and then the Women's Casino

2684
02:55:10,479 --> 02:55:13,559
Gauntlet Athena enters in number one, Maya World enters in

2685
02:55:13,639 --> 02:55:16,799
number two. The winner will challenge Tekla for the Women's

2686
02:55:16,840 --> 02:55:23,799
World Championship at Redemption. So big show coming up on Wednesday.

2687
02:55:24,639 --> 02:55:26,600
Any new movies that you are going to be seeing soon.

2688
02:55:26,680 --> 02:55:30,959
I have my tickets already purchased for The Odyssey next week,

2689
02:55:31,000 --> 02:55:35,120
I believe on Thursday. Wish me luck. It's a three

2690
02:55:35,239 --> 02:55:37,520
hour movie. You know how long it took me to

2691
02:55:37,520 --> 02:55:40,440
finally see The Batman. I was very intimidated by the

2692
02:55:40,520 --> 02:55:43,440
runtime of that movie. But I will be seeing The

2693
02:55:43,479 --> 02:55:47,520
Odyssey in It's not even real Imax. I mean, it's

2694
02:55:47,600 --> 02:55:50,920
what they call limax. It's an Imax screen, but it's

2695
02:55:50,959 --> 02:55:54,520
not like it's not real imax. It's like maybe a

2696
02:55:54,600 --> 02:55:58,799
slightly bigger regular screen. It's the best I could do.

2697
02:56:00,000 --> 02:56:02,680
So anyway, that'll be the next movie I see, so

2698
02:56:02,680 --> 02:56:07,200
I'm looking forward to it in Nolan, I trust. I'll

2699
02:56:07,239 --> 02:56:11,479
just say that it's Christopher Nolan movie in Nolan. I

2700
02:56:11,559 --> 02:56:16,440
trust that'll be the next one. All right, be well,

2701
02:56:16,840 --> 02:56:20,600
stay safe. Thank you guys again for this. Again, we

2702
02:56:20,600 --> 02:56:25,079
were number one on the Apple podcast charts. A nice

2703
02:56:25,079 --> 02:56:28,079
thing to wake up to this morning. Being in the

2704
02:56:28,120 --> 02:56:30,440
number one spot was very cool. If you haven't listened

2705
02:56:30,440 --> 02:56:32,879
to episode nine seventy of the sound Up, please go

2706
02:56:32,879 --> 02:56:36,120

02:56:36,159 --> 02:56:39,719
working on this in the morning after I have breakfast,

2708
02:56:39,760 --> 02:56:41,639
I'm going to be recording a brand new episode of

2709
02:56:41,680 --> 02:56:46,239
The Uncrowned Wrestling Show that'll be dropping tomorrow on the

2710
02:56:46,360 --> 02:56:49,440
aerial hell Wani show feed wherever you get your podcast from,

2711
02:56:49,520 --> 02:56:52,600
so hopefully you can help us climb the charts there

2712
02:56:52,680 --> 02:56:55,120
as well. Can't do it without you, guys. And then

2713
02:56:55,120 --> 02:56:57,639
tomorrow night I'll be live with JD A lot to

2714
02:56:57,680 --> 02:57:02,959
talk about on a brand new episode of Tuesday Night Titans.

2715
02:57:03,000 --> 02:57:05,120
What else did I miss? We have the Shamus video

2716
02:57:05,159 --> 02:57:07,639
that I did breaking news up on the channel as well.

2717
02:57:08,399 --> 02:57:11,760
We got more clips from the pod hitting the channel

2718
02:57:11,760 --> 02:57:15,799
in the next couple of days, including my retort to

2719
02:57:15,959 --> 02:57:19,200
Triple H after his recent comments on the stephen A.

2720
02:57:19,280 --> 02:57:21,799
Smith Show. That'll be going up tomorrow afternoon, so please

2721
02:57:21,840 --> 02:57:24,879
go ahead and check that out. And that's it. That's

2722
02:57:24,920 --> 02:57:27,360
all I got for you, Thank you for the love.

2723
02:57:27,600 --> 02:57:29,959
I'll see you back here on the stream on Wednesday.

2724
02:57:30,040 --> 02:57:32,120
Until then, take care, guys.
