WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.440 --> 00:00:04.200 One of the things that they talked about on WWEE unreal. 2 00:00:04.839 --> 00:00:07.160 I just did a review for the series on the 3 00:00:07.440 --> 00:00:10.439 podcast today. One of the things they talked about on 4 00:00:10.480 --> 00:00:14.000 there was how hard it is to keep a secret 5 00:00:14.039 --> 00:00:16.679 in wrestling these days because everybody knows everything. You know, 6 00:00:16.719 --> 00:00:21.120 if there's even a hint of something right, everybody knows, 7 00:00:21.239 --> 00:00:23.600 Oh there's a talk of this, this person might come back, 8 00:00:23.640 --> 00:00:25.960 this person was spotted at the airport, and all this stuff, 9 00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:30.440 and it's very hard to keep a surprise. And I 10 00:00:30.440 --> 00:00:33.320 don't know that very many people were necessarily surprised by 11 00:00:33.320 --> 00:00:37.000 Seth Rollins not actually being hurt and cashing in his 12 00:00:37.079 --> 00:00:39.640 money in the bank last night on Night one. But 13 00:00:39.679 --> 00:00:41.840 one thing I can tell you is that I did 14 00:00:41.880 --> 00:00:48.159 not hear a fucking thing about brock Lesner being back 15 00:00:48.200 --> 00:00:52.000 in WWE at Summer Slim this weekend. So I will 16 00:00:52.039 --> 00:00:54.920 at least, if nothing else, I will at least, you know, 17 00:00:54.960 --> 00:00:56.679 if I was wearing a hat, I would tip my 18 00:00:56.759 --> 00:00:58.439 cap to them that they were at least able to 19 00:00:58.479 --> 00:01:02.320 keep this under wraps. But boy, now we know, don't 20 00:01:02.320 --> 00:01:06.519 we Now we know why they have shit canned the 21 00:01:06.560 --> 00:01:08.799 post show media scrubs that they had been doing for 22 00:01:08.879 --> 00:01:11.359 quite some time, and why it just so happens for 23 00:01:11.400 --> 00:01:14.920 Summer Slam this weekend that they're not doing that. They're 24 00:01:14.959 --> 00:01:17.040 just doing their or a little post show panel that 25 00:01:17.079 --> 00:01:20.359 they're doing. Now it becomes very clear why they're no 26 00:01:20.439 --> 00:01:24.359 longer doing them. This main event tonight, I don't even 27 00:01:24.400 --> 00:01:26.280 know where to begin with this, but let's start with 28 00:01:26.319 --> 00:01:29.920 this main event, John Cena and Cody Rhoades for the 29 00:01:30.040 --> 00:01:36.159 WWE Championship. This main event tonight was light years better 30 00:01:36.200 --> 00:01:39.319 than WrestleMania, and it is very interesting that we went 31 00:01:39.359 --> 00:01:43.439 from having legitimately one of the worst matches of the 32 00:01:43.640 --> 00:01:47.400 entire year, especially when you take into consideration the fact 33 00:01:47.400 --> 00:01:49.920 that it was the WrestleMania main event, one of the 34 00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:54.079 worst most disappointing matches of the entire year in April, 35 00:01:54.799 --> 00:01:56.799 and you take those same two people and you put 36 00:01:56.799 --> 00:01:59.000 them in the ring tonight and they end up with 37 00:01:59.120 --> 00:02:02.000 a match of the year Cander. I mean, you talk 38 00:02:02.040 --> 00:02:04.200 about doing a one tot eighty, you talk about night 39 00:02:04.280 --> 00:02:08.319 and fucking day with John Cena and Cody Rhodes, and 40 00:02:08.360 --> 00:02:11.800 it's actually too bad. It's too bad that as great 41 00:02:11.840 --> 00:02:13.560 of a match as those two guys went out there 42 00:02:13.599 --> 00:02:17.280 and had tonight. All of the discourse and all of 43 00:02:17.280 --> 00:02:20.840 the talk coming out of this show here is going 44 00:02:20.879 --> 00:02:23.199 to be about what happened when the match was over, 45 00:02:23.960 --> 00:02:26.840 and there's a lot of good and a lot of bad. 46 00:02:26.879 --> 00:02:28.800 There's a lot of people who are going to be 47 00:02:28.879 --> 00:02:31.159 excited by what happened, and there are going to be 48 00:02:31.199 --> 00:02:33.000 a lot of people who are going to be repulsed 49 00:02:33.439 --> 00:02:36.520 and disappointed by what happened. And that really is going 50 00:02:36.560 --> 00:02:38.919 to become the conversation here coming out of this show. 51 00:02:39.280 --> 00:02:42.599 I thought it was very weird the way the WWE 52 00:02:42.639 --> 00:02:45.599 just seemed to retcon the John Cena heel turned on 53 00:02:45.680 --> 00:02:48.639 Friday night. I was not convinced that he had actually 54 00:02:48.719 --> 00:02:50.560 gone back to being a babyface. I thought that it 55 00:02:50.639 --> 00:02:53.080 was all just a big swerve. This is like the 56 00:02:53.120 --> 00:02:55.599 old Stone Cold in two thousand and one, right, he 57 00:02:55.680 --> 00:02:58.240 wants everybody to believe the old John Cena is back 58 00:02:58.479 --> 00:03:00.400 and then we'll get some kind of a swerve here 59 00:03:00.439 --> 00:03:03.000 on this show. And in fact, it appears that is 60 00:03:03.039 --> 00:03:07.479 not the case. John Cena is back to being John Cena. 61 00:03:07.639 --> 00:03:09.840 He is back to being a babyface, and it's like, well, 62 00:03:10.759 --> 00:03:16.080 why do it? Forty eight hours before the rematch at SummerSlam, 63 00:03:16.800 --> 00:03:19.360 and based on what they did tonight, now we know 64 00:03:19.479 --> 00:03:22.680 why he had to go back to being Babyface for 65 00:03:22.719 --> 00:03:25.639 them to set up the postmatch angle on the show tonight. 66 00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:28.919 I'd be very curious to know when all of this 67 00:03:29.240 --> 00:03:32.360 came about, when they made the decision to turn John 68 00:03:32.360 --> 00:03:35.639 Cena back babyface, when they did, When did this all 69 00:03:35.680 --> 00:03:39.000 come together? And I'm sure these details will leak in 70 00:03:39.120 --> 00:03:42.479 due time and it'll come out. There was no Travis Scott, 71 00:03:43.159 --> 00:03:46.479 there was no Rock. What we had was two guys 72 00:03:46.479 --> 00:03:48.719 who went out there. John Cena turned back the hands 73 00:03:48.719 --> 00:03:52.039 of time. This was the best John Cena match since 74 00:03:52.080 --> 00:03:55.000 he came back. It may end up being the best 75 00:03:55.080 --> 00:03:57.560 John Cena match of this entire retirement tour. I don't 76 00:03:57.599 --> 00:03:58.840 know that we're going to get a better one than 77 00:03:58.879 --> 00:04:00.840 the one that we got tonight with and Cody Rhods. 78 00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:04.319 The street fight stipulation was something that they needed. They 79 00:04:04.360 --> 00:04:06.879 needed the smoke and mirrors because the match they had 80 00:04:06.919 --> 00:04:10.800 at WrestleMania was no good. They needed to have the 81 00:04:11.000 --> 00:04:13.520 access to the tables and the chairs and fighting in 82 00:04:13.560 --> 00:04:16.439 the crowd, and it helped the match immensely. And these 83 00:04:16.480 --> 00:04:19.319 two guys went out there for almost forty minutes tonight, 84 00:04:20.160 --> 00:04:22.120 and they tore it up and they had a classic 85 00:04:22.160 --> 00:04:25.560 main event, and when it was over, John Cena was 86 00:04:25.680 --> 00:04:28.120 left all alone in the ring. Cody Rhodes gave him 87 00:04:28.160 --> 00:04:31.959 the ring and they turned the music off and it 88 00:04:32.000 --> 00:04:34.360 was just the fans applauding and giving John Cena his 89 00:04:34.439 --> 00:04:37.759 flowers and giving John Cena a standing ovation. And had 90 00:04:37.759 --> 00:04:39.319 they gone off the air that way, that would have 91 00:04:39.319 --> 00:04:42.360 been a very appropriate ending in his final Summer Slam 92 00:04:42.800 --> 00:04:46.160 for John Cena after losing the WWE Championship, which he 93 00:04:46.240 --> 00:04:49.879 did tonight, and Cody Rhodes once again is the WWE Champion, 94 00:04:49.920 --> 00:04:52.480 which is the way it should be. But after losing 95 00:04:52.480 --> 00:04:54.720 the WWE title, for John Cena to be able to 96 00:04:54.759 --> 00:04:57.759 soak up the cheers and the adulation of the crowd 97 00:04:58.360 --> 00:05:01.040 and walk off into the sunset in his final Summer 98 00:05:01.040 --> 00:05:06.560 Slam appearance, but then we hear brock Lesner's theme song, 99 00:05:07.439 --> 00:05:10.439 and of course people lose their minds because nobody was 100 00:05:10.480 --> 00:05:13.519 expecting it. Brock Lesner has not been visible, he has 101 00:05:13.519 --> 00:05:16.360 not been seen. He's barely been mentioned maybe here and 102 00:05:16.399 --> 00:05:20.240 there on WWE television for two years. The last time 103 00:05:20.279 --> 00:05:22.480 we saw brock Lesner was two years ago on this 104 00:05:22.639 --> 00:05:26.800 very show he wrestled Cody Rhoades. And if you're wondering, well, 105 00:05:27.079 --> 00:05:30.160 why has it been so long since we've seen Brock Lesner, Well, 106 00:05:30.160 --> 00:05:33.040 there's a very good reason for that. Unless you've been 107 00:05:33.079 --> 00:05:35.920 living under a fucking rock, you probably have a pretty 108 00:05:35.920 --> 00:05:38.680 good idea of why we have not seen Brock Lesner. Now, 109 00:05:38.680 --> 00:05:40.279 I want to clear up some stuff here because it's 110 00:05:40.279 --> 00:05:43.120 gonna be a lot of questions about, you know, what's 111 00:05:43.160 --> 00:05:46.120 the deal with Brock and what came out about Brock 112 00:05:46.199 --> 00:05:49.680 and all this. Just to sum it up real quick, okay, 113 00:05:50.600 --> 00:05:54.439 In the Janelle Grant lawsuit, the sex trafficking lawsuit against 114 00:05:54.519 --> 00:05:58.240 Vince McMahon. In the original suit, there was a mention 115 00:05:58.399 --> 00:06:01.360 made of a talent WWE and I think it even 116 00:06:01.360 --> 00:06:05.360 said like former UFC fighter. Brock's name was not mentioned, 117 00:06:06.160 --> 00:06:08.199 but it was very clear who she was referring to 118 00:06:08.240 --> 00:06:11.959 in this suit. And again, I'm not gonna I would 119 00:06:11.959 --> 00:06:13.319 have the suit in front of me, and I'm just 120 00:06:13.399 --> 00:06:17.879 you know, paraphrasing here basically, but the claim is that 121 00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:23.000 Vince McMahon basically offered her to him for sex in 122 00:06:23.040 --> 00:06:26.639 twenty twenty one when he was trying to negotiate a 123 00:06:26.720 --> 00:06:30.319 new contract to bring Brock back to WWE. He wanted 124 00:06:30.360 --> 00:06:32.759 to extend Brock's deal or sign him to a new one. 125 00:06:33.360 --> 00:06:38.360 And so allegedly he basically offered her to him as 126 00:06:38.439 --> 00:06:44.519 like a plaything, okay, essentially, and he also allegedly demanded 127 00:06:44.519 --> 00:06:49.439 that she create sexualized content. We'll just say sexualized content. Okay, 128 00:06:49.519 --> 00:06:50.879 let's let's leave it at that. We don't have to 129 00:06:50.879 --> 00:06:55.920 get into the specifics, but to create sexualized content that 130 00:06:55.959 --> 00:06:58.519 he could then share with Brock. And you know what 131 00:06:58.519 --> 00:06:59.800 I'm orri if you read the suit, you know what 132 00:06:59.839 --> 00:07:03.439 I referred to. Now, there was supposed to be some 133 00:07:03.480 --> 00:07:06.040 sort of meeting. I think he might have even allegedly 134 00:07:06.160 --> 00:07:09.680 flown Brock into Connecticut to actually meet with her. They 135 00:07:09.720 --> 00:07:13.000 never met. Okay, so she never met Brocklesner. They never 136 00:07:13.079 --> 00:07:16.680 had any sort of relationship or interaction in person or 137 00:07:16.720 --> 00:07:20.639 anything like that. And these are the allegations that were 138 00:07:20.680 --> 00:07:23.839 all laid out. Now. She amended her complaint earlier this year, 139 00:07:23.879 --> 00:07:27.399 and the amended complaint was accepted by the court. And 140 00:07:27.480 --> 00:07:30.439 so now we know that the name was in fact Brocklesner. 141 00:07:30.480 --> 00:07:32.279 So it's not like, oh, maybe it wasn't Brock. No, 142 00:07:32.439 --> 00:07:34.759 it was Brock. Okay, Brock was the one that was 143 00:07:35.000 --> 00:07:37.759 being named in there. And that's it. That's all we know. 144 00:07:38.920 --> 00:07:41.279 Now you can make of that what you will. People 145 00:07:41.319 --> 00:07:43.639 are gonna have a lot of different opinions about this. Oh, well, 146 00:07:43.639 --> 00:07:46.600 he didn't do anything wrong. What did brock Lesnar do wrong? 147 00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:48.959 He never met the woman, he never had sex with 148 00:07:49.000 --> 00:07:50.639 the woman. He as far as we know, he never 149 00:07:50.639 --> 00:07:54.959 did anything with Janelle Gray. Sure, but if you are 150 00:07:55.000 --> 00:08:00.120 to believe these allegations, it is obviously disgusting, and it 151 00:08:00.160 --> 00:08:02.920 is obviously very troubling. And I look at it again 152 00:08:02.959 --> 00:08:05.560 with a pri I I look at this and I say, 153 00:08:05.680 --> 00:08:09.439 there's good reason that TKO and WWE would not want 154 00:08:09.439 --> 00:08:13.160 to be associated with Brocklesner until this entire situation is 155 00:08:13.240 --> 00:08:16.199 cleared up, right, because this case is still ongoing. It's 156 00:08:16.199 --> 00:08:18.360 a civil matter, it's not a criminal matter. And again, 157 00:08:18.959 --> 00:08:21.800 he's not a defendant. Brocklesner is not a name defendant 158 00:08:21.800 --> 00:08:23.639 in the suit. All of that is true. But the 159 00:08:23.639 --> 00:08:26.399 fact that he is roped into all of this stuff 160 00:08:27.279 --> 00:08:30.639 and in the matter that he is obviously is pretty 161 00:08:30.639 --> 00:08:33.919 fucking gross. That's why we have not seen or heard 162 00:08:33.919 --> 00:08:38.720 from Brocklesner in two years. Do you honestly believe were 163 00:08:38.759 --> 00:08:41.039 it not for the Janelle Grant stuff, that it would 164 00:08:41.080 --> 00:08:45.440 be two years before WWE broke the emergency glass to 165 00:08:45.480 --> 00:08:48.000 bring back brock Lesner. He would have been back a 166 00:08:48.120 --> 00:08:50.919 long time ago. Now. I don't know what went into 167 00:08:50.960 --> 00:08:53.600 the thought process here to bring him back now, but 168 00:08:53.720 --> 00:08:55.480 I do know that him and John Cena have a 169 00:08:55.519 --> 00:08:59.279 long history together. This is John Cena's retirement year. He's 170 00:08:59.320 --> 00:09:02.639 done at the end of this year. I don't know 171 00:09:02.799 --> 00:09:06.120 if this was something that WWE went to Brock. I 172 00:09:06.159 --> 00:09:09.200 don't know if Brock reached out to WWE. I don't 173 00:09:09.240 --> 00:09:11.879 know if John Cena floated the idea of, hey, let 174 00:09:11.879 --> 00:09:14.759 me work with Brock. I don't think that happened. John 175 00:09:14.799 --> 00:09:17.559 Cena is on record as saying that he hasn't lobby 176 00:09:17.639 --> 00:09:21.240 for anything. He's never lobbied for an opponent or for 177 00:09:21.279 --> 00:09:23.960 a match in his entire career. He basically shows up 178 00:09:24.000 --> 00:09:26.720 to work and does what he's told. So again, I 179 00:09:26.759 --> 00:09:30.200 would love to know the why now aspect of this 180 00:09:30.279 --> 00:09:32.759 story because there's going to be a lot of people. 181 00:09:32.919 --> 00:09:35.360 This is going to be a very controversial thing, and 182 00:09:35.519 --> 00:09:37.679 if you're someone who was going to just kind of 183 00:09:37.679 --> 00:09:39.840 poop poo it and say, oh, these people are just 184 00:09:39.879 --> 00:09:42.559 being soft and these people have He's not an like. 185 00:09:42.600 --> 00:09:48.120 You have to understand the situation. It's a very disgusting situation. Right. 186 00:09:48.720 --> 00:09:51.240 There are other people also who were either kind of 187 00:09:51.320 --> 00:09:53.759 named or alluded to in the suit. I think Michael 188 00:09:53.759 --> 00:09:56.840 Hayes was one of them, I believe in the complaint 189 00:09:56.840 --> 00:10:00.639 who also there was Content Cuoreo sexualized content career for him, 190 00:10:00.799 --> 00:10:04.320 and he's all over this fucking WWE unreal show. Okay, 191 00:10:05.000 --> 00:10:07.039 this is a company that is going to have to 192 00:10:07.080 --> 00:10:10.679 address these issues at some point because WWE is a 193 00:10:10.799 --> 00:10:13.480 name defendant in that suit. It's not just Vince McMahon. 194 00:10:13.519 --> 00:10:17.159 It's Vince McMahon and WWE. And there are people who 195 00:10:17.320 --> 00:10:20.519 work for or have worked for WWE who are also 196 00:10:20.720 --> 00:10:24.120 roped into that whole thing. They have made the choice that, 197 00:10:24.200 --> 00:10:27.360 you know what, it's just allegations. We want to work 198 00:10:27.360 --> 00:10:29.679 with Brock, we want to be in the Brock Lesnar business. 199 00:10:29.960 --> 00:10:31.799 And there's more in it for us to bring him 200 00:10:31.840 --> 00:10:34.440 back than to not do business with him at all. Right, 201 00:10:34.480 --> 00:10:36.440 It's not like they were in jeopardy of losing Brock 202 00:10:36.480 --> 00:10:38.840 to aw or somebody else. Brock's been sitting on his 203 00:10:38.919 --> 00:10:41.960 fucking ranch. He's been milking cows, He's been slaughtering animals 204 00:10:42.159 --> 00:10:45.240 and doing whatever he does, twiddling his thumbs. He's got 205 00:10:45.240 --> 00:10:47.679 more money than he'll ever be able to spend in 206 00:10:47.720 --> 00:10:50.480 his entire life. But they made the decision that, you 207 00:10:50.519 --> 00:10:53.519 know what, before John Cena is done, we want one 208 00:10:53.559 --> 00:10:58.039 more match between Brock Lesner and John Cena. Their history 209 00:10:58.120 --> 00:11:00.039 goes back many, many years. Their history goes all the 210 00:11:00.039 --> 00:11:02.320 way back to two thousand and three. That was the 211 00:11:02.320 --> 00:11:04.399 first time they wrestled in a pay per view match 212 00:11:04.960 --> 00:11:07.799 in WWE, and it was very eerie the way they 213 00:11:07.799 --> 00:11:11.960 did his return tonight, because Brock comes out as a surprise. 214 00:11:12.799 --> 00:11:15.720 And I was there in Miami the night that brock 215 00:11:15.840 --> 00:11:19.159 Lesner came back to WWE in twenty twelve. It was 216 00:11:19.200 --> 00:11:22.039 the raw after WrestleMania Okay, that first Rock Sena match, 217 00:11:22.840 --> 00:11:24.559 and at the very end of the show, Brock came 218 00:11:24.600 --> 00:11:27.799 out and he circled the ring like a shark, just 219 00:11:27.840 --> 00:11:30.279 like he did tonight. John Cena standing in the middle 220 00:11:30.320 --> 00:11:33.919 of the ring, shocked brock Lesner slowly walking around the ring, 221 00:11:34.759 --> 00:11:37.080 slowly getting into the ring. He gets into the ring 222 00:11:37.200 --> 00:11:40.120 and tonight, as he did in twenty twelve, he picks 223 00:11:40.200 --> 00:11:43.840 up John Cena and delivers in F five one F five, 224 00:11:43.919 --> 00:11:46.039 He leaves him laying in the ring. They hit his 225 00:11:46.120 --> 00:11:49.039 music and he leaves, and that is how Summer Slam 226 00:11:49.039 --> 00:11:51.759 went off the air tonight, leading one to believe that 227 00:11:51.799 --> 00:11:55.480 we are about to get one last match, possibly in 228 00:11:55.559 --> 00:11:59.039 Paris at the end of this month, between brock Lesner 229 00:11:59.120 --> 00:12:02.600 and John Cena. I don't know too many people who 230 00:12:02.639 --> 00:12:06.600 have been clamoring for the return of brock Lesner. If 231 00:12:06.600 --> 00:12:10.320 Brocklesner's last WWE appearance was putting over Cody Rhodes, who 232 00:12:10.360 --> 00:12:12.759 was the heir apparent, right, Cody was on his way 233 00:12:12.799 --> 00:12:16.240 to beating Roman Reigns at WrestleMania last year. If the 234 00:12:16.279 --> 00:12:19.000 last brock Lesnar appearance was him putting over Cody Roads 235 00:12:19.000 --> 00:12:21.159 at Summersalem two years ago, that would have been a 236 00:12:21.159 --> 00:12:23.440 fine way for him to ride off into the sunset. 237 00:12:23.440 --> 00:12:27.159 He's done everything there is to do. He's won every championship, 238 00:12:27.200 --> 00:12:30.440 He's wrestled all the top names. Right, A lot of 239 00:12:30.440 --> 00:12:33.360 his matches don't go very long. But if that was 240 00:12:33.519 --> 00:12:36.600 his last appearance, okay, great, Right At least they got 241 00:12:36.639 --> 00:12:39.279 something out of it. Now he's back. Is he back 242 00:12:39.320 --> 00:12:43.000 full time? Is he back just to wrestle with John Cena? 243 00:12:44.320 --> 00:12:46.519 Are we going to see him on television, you know, 244 00:12:46.879 --> 00:12:48.759 on a regular basis? Are we going to see him 245 00:12:48.759 --> 00:12:51.559 you know, once every three months. We don't know a 246 00:12:51.600 --> 00:12:54.960 lot of questions about this, but there will be a 247 00:12:55.000 --> 00:12:57.679 lot of discussion about this, and a lot of people 248 00:12:57.759 --> 00:13:01.279 very upset about WWE bringing him back and doing business 249 00:13:01.279 --> 00:13:03.440 with brock Lesner, And I just think it's important for 250 00:13:03.480 --> 00:13:06.440 people to understand why. And I don't fault those people 251 00:13:06.440 --> 00:13:10.200 for feeling that way. They have every right to feel 252 00:13:10.200 --> 00:13:13.159 that way. There's a lot of very icky, very disgusting 253 00:13:13.240 --> 00:13:18.120 aspects to this story. And WWE can cancel all their 254 00:13:18.159 --> 00:13:20.679 press scrums and they can go hide under a fucking 255 00:13:20.799 --> 00:13:23.320 rock if that's what they want to do. These are 256 00:13:23.399 --> 00:13:25.080 questions that are going to have to be answered at 257 00:13:25.120 --> 00:13:27.720 some point. Triple H is going to be out there 258 00:13:27.759 --> 00:13:30.960 doing interviews. He's going to be asked about this, and 259 00:13:31.399 --> 00:13:34.799 I would hope, okay, for his sake and for WWE's sake, 260 00:13:35.360 --> 00:13:38.720 that he is smart enough to huddle together with their 261 00:13:38.759 --> 00:13:42.320 team and come up with a real good answer. Because 262 00:13:42.360 --> 00:13:45.240 the questions are going to come. And I just think 263 00:13:45.279 --> 00:13:47.360 back to when he was first answering questions about the 264 00:13:47.440 --> 00:13:51.799 Vince McMahon stuff, and how fucking awful, how fucking awful 265 00:13:51.840 --> 00:13:54.919 he was at answering questions about this, And I understand 266 00:13:54.919 --> 00:13:56.840 it puts him in a very difficult spot when people 267 00:13:56.840 --> 00:13:58.960 ask him about Vince, because he's got that, you know, 268 00:13:59.159 --> 00:14:01.559 personal relationship with him and he's his father in law 269 00:14:01.600 --> 00:14:05.240 and blah blah blah. I get that, but his answers 270 00:14:05.240 --> 00:14:07.519 when he would address this, even recently, I think he 271 00:14:07.559 --> 00:14:10.360 gave an answer just the other day, and I'm just 272 00:14:10.440 --> 00:14:13.639 I'm floored by how awful some of these answers are. 273 00:14:14.320 --> 00:14:16.559 So for his sake and for their sake, I hope 274 00:14:16.559 --> 00:14:19.440 they're prepared for these questions because these questions are going 275 00:14:19.480 --> 00:14:21.960 to come. But they obviously feel like being in the 276 00:14:21.960 --> 00:14:24.840 Brock Lesnar business is worth it for ww A. The 277 00:14:24.879 --> 00:14:27.320 fans certainly cheered for him. They were happy as shit 278 00:14:27.840 --> 00:14:31.519 see brock Lesner back on TV tonight. There is certain 279 00:14:31.639 --> 00:14:34.279 value that Brock brings to the product. Brock brings a 280 00:14:34.320 --> 00:14:37.879 certain authenticity that a lot of people do not have. 281 00:14:38.600 --> 00:14:41.039 And it's been two years, right, so we haven't seen 282 00:14:41.080 --> 00:14:43.320 him in a long time. If he's around, if he's 283 00:14:43.320 --> 00:14:45.440 gonna stick around for a while, there's a lot of 284 00:14:45.440 --> 00:14:48.120 people beyond John Cena that we have never seen brock 285 00:14:48.200 --> 00:14:50.559 Lesnar work with before that he could step into the 286 00:14:50.600 --> 00:14:52.679 ring with, you know, brock Lesner getting into the ring 287 00:14:52.759 --> 00:14:55.840 with a fucking bron Breaker or a Jacob Fatu or 288 00:14:55.879 --> 00:14:59.600 people like that, right and start fantasy booking all kinds 289 00:14:59.600 --> 00:15:03.519 of matches for Brocklesner. But right now it's about Brocklesner 290 00:15:03.519 --> 00:15:06.879 and John Cena, and when that match takes place, I 291 00:15:06.919 --> 00:15:09.600 don't necessarily think he's going to be seen as retirement 292 00:15:09.639 --> 00:15:11.960 opponent in December. I think they're going to have to 293 00:15:12.000 --> 00:15:16.720 do something, you know, obviously a little before that, you know. 294 00:15:16.799 --> 00:15:19.799 But it is interesting to note Fightful had a report 295 00:15:20.200 --> 00:15:24.159 about John Cena's schedule, just so people are aware of this. 296 00:15:24.879 --> 00:15:29.240 He's got nine dates left in his career coming out 297 00:15:29.240 --> 00:15:32.039 of the Summer Slam show. That's it. He's got nine 298 00:15:32.120 --> 00:15:36.559 dates left. Three more SmackDown appearances this month. Remember they 299 00:15:36.559 --> 00:15:39.600 have those overseas shows, so there's gonna be some early 300 00:15:39.919 --> 00:15:42.000 I don't know about raws, but at least smackdowns. There's 301 00:15:42.000 --> 00:15:43.840 gonna be some early shows again, just like there were 302 00:15:43.879 --> 00:15:46.840 back in March, because they got an international tour coming 303 00:15:46.879 --> 00:15:48.639 up in the next few weeks. So he's going to 304 00:15:48.679 --> 00:15:51.399 be in Montreal, He's going to be in Dublin, Ireland, 305 00:15:51.879 --> 00:15:55.200 and Scene is going to be in Leon, France. At 306 00:15:55.200 --> 00:15:58.960 this moment, unless he adds more, he only has I 307 00:15:59.000 --> 00:16:01.960 believe three is a three, three, four, four more US 308 00:16:02.039 --> 00:16:06.360 dates to his career. He's got four more dates in 309 00:16:06.399 --> 00:16:10.679 this country before he wraps it up and says I'm 310 00:16:10.720 --> 00:16:14.559 done again. He could always add more, but at this moment, 311 00:16:14.600 --> 00:16:17.919 that's all he has left, and I think three more 312 00:16:18.039 --> 00:16:22.879 PLS clash in Paris Perth. They're gonna be in Perth 313 00:16:22.919 --> 00:16:27.799 for Crown Jewel in October, possibly Survivor series rights, and 314 00:16:27.840 --> 00:16:30.799 that's it. So it's not a lot left for John 315 00:16:30.879 --> 00:16:34.279 Cena to do one of those matches. At least one 316 00:16:34.960 --> 00:16:37.399 is going to be with Brock. I remember when they 317 00:16:37.399 --> 00:16:40.799 had that match in twenty twelve at Extreme Rules. I 318 00:16:40.840 --> 00:16:46.279 love that match. It was so unique and different than 319 00:16:46.360 --> 00:16:49.159 anything else that you were seeing on WWE television at 320 00:16:49.159 --> 00:16:52.840 the time. It felt like a real battle. It felt 321 00:16:52.840 --> 00:16:55.559 like a real fight between those two and there was 322 00:16:55.639 --> 00:16:57.919 blood at a time when you really weren't seeing blood 323 00:16:57.919 --> 00:17:01.639 in WWE. So that match they had at extreme rules. 324 00:17:02.840 --> 00:17:04.599 I don't know what John Cena is going to go 325 00:17:04.599 --> 00:17:07.920 out there in twenty twenty five and do with Brocklesner. 326 00:17:08.039 --> 00:17:10.279 I don't know what that match looks like. That match 327 00:17:10.359 --> 00:17:12.279 does not look like the match we saw tonight. I 328 00:17:12.279 --> 00:17:14.799 can tell you that Brocklesner and John Cena are not 329 00:17:14.839 --> 00:17:17.039 going to go out there and have a thirty seven 330 00:17:17.160 --> 00:17:20.720 minute match the way that he did tonight with Cody Rubbs. 331 00:17:22.119 --> 00:17:26.000 So for old times sake, okay, sure, you know there's 332 00:17:26.039 --> 00:17:28.799 people who will get nostalgic about seeing Brocklesner and John 333 00:17:28.880 --> 00:17:32.559 Cena back in the ring. But again, I don't know 334 00:17:32.680 --> 00:17:35.279 quality wise what that match is going to look like, 335 00:17:35.559 --> 00:17:38.400 you know, when that time comes. But the idea that 336 00:17:38.440 --> 00:17:41.400 they they retcon the heel turn, to me is an 337 00:17:41.400 --> 00:17:45.119 admission that they realize they really fucked up with this 338 00:17:45.160 --> 00:17:48.440 heel turn, and I think that also needs to get 339 00:17:48.440 --> 00:17:53.279 some attention as well. They effectively wasted months, like a 340 00:17:53.319 --> 00:17:57.039 good four to five months of John Cena's final year 341 00:17:58.279 --> 00:18:00.599 with an idea that was a last minute idea they 342 00:18:00.640 --> 00:18:04.599 came up with, and they were practically tripping over each 343 00:18:04.599 --> 00:18:06.359 other and who would take credit for it? On that 344 00:18:06.480 --> 00:18:08.559 unreal show? Who came up with the idea for the 345 00:18:08.640 --> 00:18:11.680 John Cena heel turn? And they did it at WrestleMania, 346 00:18:11.880 --> 00:18:14.960 and there was a lot or elimination chamber and there 347 00:18:15.000 --> 00:18:16.920 was a lot of excitement for it. I was one 348 00:18:16.960 --> 00:18:18.839 of those people. I was like, man, this could be 349 00:18:18.880 --> 00:18:22.480 something really special, and unfortunately that turned out not to 350 00:18:22.480 --> 00:18:24.880 be the case. Here we are now in August. At 351 00:18:24.960 --> 00:18:27.079 least they had enough sense to say this isn't working. 352 00:18:27.759 --> 00:18:29.440 We want to go in a different direction with this. 353 00:18:30.720 --> 00:18:34.400 But time will not be kind to WWE when it 354 00:18:34.440 --> 00:18:36.599 comes to looking back on this final year for John 355 00:18:36.640 --> 00:18:39.920 Cena and the decision to turn him heel and not 356 00:18:40.039 --> 00:18:43.200 have any real follow up plan for it. I just 357 00:18:43.240 --> 00:18:45.759 think that's awful for one of the biggest stars in 358 00:18:45.759 --> 00:18:48.880 the history of your company and for all that he 359 00:18:48.920 --> 00:18:51.039 has given this company. He went along with it, I mean, 360 00:18:51.079 --> 00:18:54.000 he was obviously excited to try it, but the fact 361 00:18:54.000 --> 00:18:57.480 that they really just had no real grand plan for it. 362 00:18:58.279 --> 00:19:00.759 Of all people, you would think that he like knowing 363 00:19:00.799 --> 00:19:02.839 that you got him for one final year, they would 364 00:19:02.839 --> 00:19:05.599 have a really good plan for it, and they didn't, 365 00:19:05.759 --> 00:19:09.759 I think is shameful, but thankfully it's over now because 366 00:19:09.799 --> 00:19:12.920 it just for me anyway, it was not connecting, it 367 00:19:12.960 --> 00:19:16.079 was not working, so better to leave it in the 368 00:19:16.119 --> 00:19:19.119 past and not drag this out any longer. And so 369 00:19:19.440 --> 00:19:22.559 now we go on from here. That main event tonight 370 00:19:22.920 --> 00:19:28.000 was tremendous. It was also a very heel heavy night 371 00:19:28.680 --> 00:19:32.960 in terms of finishes, Like we were more than halfway 372 00:19:33.000 --> 00:19:35.720 through this show, and I'm sitting here going, what the 373 00:19:35.759 --> 00:19:40.200 fuck is with these finishes tonight? My god? I mean, look, 374 00:19:40.720 --> 00:19:44.240 we had Naomi defending the Women's World Championship, right. I 375 00:19:44.319 --> 00:19:47.480 had no expectation that Naomi, so it was her first 376 00:19:47.480 --> 00:19:50.119 title defense, Like, I had no expectation she was actually 377 00:19:50.160 --> 00:19:53.279 losing the championship, right, So you knew coming in that 378 00:19:53.400 --> 00:19:57.000 Naomi was going to retain, and she did, and we 379 00:19:57.079 --> 00:20:01.160 had an unbelievable amount of just insanity in the tables, ladders, 380 00:20:01.160 --> 00:20:03.440 and chairs match. I don't know what the wyats are 381 00:20:03.440 --> 00:20:06.319 supposed to be. Would they count as heels, would they 382 00:20:06.319 --> 00:20:08.839 count as baby faces? I guess they're kind of baby faces, 383 00:20:08.920 --> 00:20:10.559 but I don't even know what they're supposed to be. 384 00:20:11.799 --> 00:20:14.559 And so they retain their championships. In the TLC match, 385 00:20:14.799 --> 00:20:19.480 we have Becky Lynch and Lyra of Valkyria Women's Intercontinental Title. 386 00:20:19.759 --> 00:20:22.279 This seam poised for Lyra to get that big win 387 00:20:22.400 --> 00:20:25.160 back over Becky and win that championship back because she 388 00:20:25.279 --> 00:20:27.680 cannot challenge for it ever again, so long as Becky 389 00:20:27.759 --> 00:20:32.240 is champion. And what happens, Becky Lynch retains still the 390 00:20:32.319 --> 00:20:38.079 Intercontinental Champion, Solo Sokoa still the United States Champion. One 391 00:20:38.119 --> 00:20:40.519 of the most boring cage matches that I have seen 392 00:20:40.559 --> 00:20:44.160 in years. Jacob's in there, Jacob's doing what he can, 393 00:20:44.480 --> 00:20:48.359 but I mean, my god, I'm talking just about like 394 00:20:48.440 --> 00:20:51.720 the performances of the talent in the match. I'm talking 395 00:20:51.759 --> 00:20:54.240 about just the match itself, the booking, and here comes 396 00:20:54.240 --> 00:20:58.640 the MFTs. Who gives a flying fuck? I hated that match. 397 00:21:00.640 --> 00:21:03.400 Then you had the Intercontinental Championship on the line. AJ 398 00:21:03.519 --> 00:21:07.039 Styles and Dominique Mysterio with a kind of a clever 399 00:21:07.119 --> 00:21:09.240 spot there near the finish with the boot which we'll 400 00:21:09.240 --> 00:21:14.240 get into. Dom retains another heel win, So Dom wins, 401 00:21:14.279 --> 00:21:18.920 Becky wins, Solo wins, Naomi wins, and it all made 402 00:21:18.920 --> 00:21:20.799 way for this great main event. But like you look 403 00:21:20.839 --> 00:21:22.839 at this show, and like it was so heel heavy 404 00:21:22.839 --> 00:21:27.599 and so many deflating finishes. I'm like, who booked this? 405 00:21:28.759 --> 00:21:31.039 Who thought this was a good idea? Up and down 406 00:21:31.079 --> 00:21:35.440 the car tonight with this shit? I didn't understand that. 407 00:21:36.319 --> 00:21:37.960 But I think that Night too is a lot like 408 00:21:38.039 --> 00:21:40.279 Night one. If you remember when I came on here 409 00:21:40.359 --> 00:21:42.480 last night, I said, man, going into the main event, 410 00:21:42.880 --> 00:21:44.799 Night one, to me on the whole was a C 411 00:21:44.960 --> 00:21:48.519 plus maybe a B minus, and then the main event 412 00:21:48.599 --> 00:21:51.559 stuff bumped it up to a bee. I feel the 413 00:21:51.599 --> 00:21:53.759 exact same way sitting here now that I did twenty 414 00:21:53.759 --> 00:21:56.640 four hours ago. This show to me was a C 415 00:21:56.799 --> 00:22:00.839 plus maybe a B minus going into the event. That 416 00:22:00.880 --> 00:22:04.599 main event was excellent, and then they had the big shock, 417 00:22:04.799 --> 00:22:07.000 you know, return there, the big shock angle at the end. 418 00:22:08.000 --> 00:22:09.519 But when it was all said and done, I looked 419 00:22:09.519 --> 00:22:11.039 at the show and said, you know what, this feels 420 00:22:11.039 --> 00:22:13.920 like a bee. I really wouldn't go higher than that. 421 00:22:14.799 --> 00:22:19.240 I mean, it's virtually identical between the two nights. But 422 00:22:19.319 --> 00:22:20.960 I look at this and I go, did this show 423 00:22:21.039 --> 00:22:23.319 really need to be two nights? Could we have shaved 424 00:22:23.319 --> 00:22:26.640 some stuff off and just kind of condensed it into one? Probably, 425 00:22:26.960 --> 00:22:29.640 but the two night format is not going anywhere. They're 426 00:22:29.680 --> 00:22:32.319 doing two nights again next year, and I promise you 427 00:22:32.440 --> 00:22:34.240 it will be two nights again the year after that, 428 00:22:34.720 --> 00:22:37.640 and the year after that and the year after that, because, 429 00:22:37.640 --> 00:22:39.960 as they said, they had over one hundred and thirteen 430 00:22:40.079 --> 00:22:43.279 thousand people that they put in met Life Stadium between 431 00:22:43.319 --> 00:22:47.400 these two nights. They're not giving up that kind of business. 432 00:22:47.920 --> 00:22:49.799 They're not going to suddenly go back to one night 433 00:22:49.839 --> 00:22:52.440 and run a show in front of fifty thousand people 434 00:22:52.880 --> 00:22:55.759 when they can double or more than double that number 435 00:22:55.759 --> 00:22:58.480 and make even more money off of that. So the 436 00:22:58.480 --> 00:23:01.599 two night format is not going anyway where. We're gonna 437 00:23:01.640 --> 00:23:03.920 go through this entire show. We'll talk about the big 438 00:23:03.960 --> 00:23:06.759 return at the end and everything in between. This is 439 00:23:06.799 --> 00:23:10.359 your Summer Slam twenty twenty five review Night number two. 440 00:23:11.000 --> 00:23:13.599 It is Sunday, August third, twenty twenty five.

Let 452 00:23:42.240 --> 00:23:44.720 us get into this. There is much to get into. 453 00:23:45.960 --> 00:23:50.720 Triple H was already at ringside and he was introduced 454 00:23:50.720 --> 00:23:52.759 into the ring to kick things off, and he welcomed 455 00:23:52.759 --> 00:23:56.680 everyone to the biggest Summer Slam in history. No Cardi 456 00:23:56.799 --> 00:23:59.839 b Apparently she was only the host for one night. 457 00:24:00.839 --> 00:24:04.680 She was not seen at all tonight. And then they 458 00:24:04.720 --> 00:24:07.880 opened with the match that coming into this show I 459 00:24:08.000 --> 00:24:10.200 was looking forward to the most which was the triple 460 00:24:10.240 --> 00:24:12.960 threat match for the Women's World Championship. It was Naomi 461 00:24:13.039 --> 00:24:17.200 defending against Ria Ripley an EO Sky. The triple threat 462 00:24:17.240 --> 00:24:21.359 match of WrestleMania, which had Ria, EO and Bianca is 463 00:24:21.400 --> 00:24:23.759 one of my favorite matches of the entire year. That 464 00:24:23.839 --> 00:24:27.759 match was fucking awesome. The match with Ria in EO 465 00:24:28.039 --> 00:24:33.079 at Evolution was fucking awesome. Just having Ria in EO 466 00:24:33.240 --> 00:24:36.720 back in the ring, I said, I'm sold. And Naomi 467 00:24:36.799 --> 00:24:38.920 has had a nice run for herself as a heel 468 00:24:38.960 --> 00:24:43.359 this year first title defense. Okay, let you drop her 469 00:24:43.400 --> 00:24:45.000 in the mix and see what happens here. So I 470 00:24:45.160 --> 00:24:48.680 was looking forward to this match a lot. Naomi was 471 00:24:48.720 --> 00:24:52.200 played to the rain. Oh wait. She was played to 472 00:24:52.240 --> 00:24:59.720 the ring by the Learning Trip always seven hundred. Fuck that. 473 00:25:00.319 --> 00:25:02.440 I didn't realize. Okay, you know what. We're gonna up 474 00:25:02.440 --> 00:25:04.920 that goal. We're gonna have that goal to a minimum 475 00:25:05.000 --> 00:25:08.680 one thousand likes for Be the booker. We need at 476 00:25:08.759 --> 00:25:11.119 least one thousand likes for Be the Booker. I didn't know. 477 00:25:11.240 --> 00:25:15.759 I didn't realize we're already over seven hundred. Naomi was 478 00:25:15.799 --> 00:25:18.039 played to the ring by her father. I had no 479 00:25:18.119 --> 00:25:21.519 idea that her father was a guitarist in a band. His 480 00:25:21.599 --> 00:25:24.839 name is Sean McCrae. He was out there on stage. 481 00:25:25.160 --> 00:25:27.640 She came out. She was kind of jamming with him 482 00:25:27.640 --> 00:25:30.079 there for a little bit, nice little father daughter moment. 483 00:25:31.680 --> 00:25:34.160 So Naomi exited the ring as soon as the bell rang. 484 00:25:34.720 --> 00:25:38.920 She went to the floor and Rhea is looking outside, 485 00:25:39.000 --> 00:25:42.359 EO's looking outside. They've got their eyes locked on her. Right. 486 00:25:43.200 --> 00:25:46.720 Riea goes outside and blocks her from going this way. 487 00:25:47.400 --> 00:25:49.759 Naomi tries to go the other way, and now EO 488 00:25:49.880 --> 00:25:53.160 was out there and EO is blocking her path. So 489 00:25:53.160 --> 00:25:54.799 they get her in the ring and they took turns 490 00:25:54.839 --> 00:25:57.920 punching her. Naomi did take control. She hit a top 491 00:25:57.960 --> 00:26:01.160 ro blockbuster on Rhea for a two count. Eo got 492 00:26:01.160 --> 00:26:04.039 back into the ring. Naomi cleared her very quickly with 493 00:26:04.079 --> 00:26:07.079 a boot to the face. Ripley came back got the 494 00:26:07.119 --> 00:26:11.079 better of Naomi, who got blasted by a springboard dropkick 495 00:26:11.319 --> 00:26:16.200 by EO. Ripley started applodding and she joined in on 496 00:26:16.240 --> 00:26:20.480 EO's little bit where she pointed herself Ripley and EO. 497 00:26:21.039 --> 00:26:23.359 They went at it. She got EO in an electric 498 00:26:23.400 --> 00:26:26.799 chair position, dropped her face first on the mat. Ripley 499 00:26:26.799 --> 00:26:29.359 set up for riptide, but EO countered into a pin 500 00:26:29.559 --> 00:26:32.359 for a two count. EO caught Ria with a poison 501 00:26:32.440 --> 00:26:35.559 RNA and then EO covered Naomi, though returned to break 502 00:26:35.640 --> 00:26:38.519 up the pin. So there was a springboard moon salt 503 00:26:38.559 --> 00:26:42.240 on the outside by EO that wiped out both women. 504 00:26:42.880 --> 00:26:46.960 Back inside, she doled out the bullet train knees in 505 00:26:47.000 --> 00:26:51.519 the corner, Meteora to Rha in one corner, Meteora to 506 00:26:51.599 --> 00:26:54.240 Naomi in the other. EO went to the ropes to 507 00:26:54.319 --> 00:26:56.799 set up for something. I don't know what it was, 508 00:26:57.559 --> 00:27:00.839 but Rhea cut her off. Naomi attacked Rhea from behind 509 00:27:00.839 --> 00:27:04.880 and hit her split legged moonsalt. She had Ria covered, 510 00:27:04.920 --> 00:27:07.759 but Eo came flying off the top with her Genius 511 00:27:07.759 --> 00:27:10.039 of the Sky moon Salt to break it up, but 512 00:27:10.160 --> 00:27:14.319 Naomi moved and so she landed on Riha instead. Naomi 513 00:27:14.319 --> 00:27:16.400 took out Eo with a running knee strike knocked her 514 00:27:16.480 --> 00:27:19.359 right out of the ring. Ripley, though caught Naomi with 515 00:27:19.480 --> 00:27:22.920 riptide she had the title one. EO jumped back into 516 00:27:22.960 --> 00:27:25.720 the ring just in time to break up the cut. 517 00:27:25.839 --> 00:27:28.759 I mean just in time to break up the cover. 518 00:27:29.880 --> 00:27:31.960 So it was back to Ria and EO all alone 519 00:27:31.960 --> 00:27:35.079 in the ring. Eo dump Ria to the apron and 520 00:27:35.119 --> 00:27:38.599 then came charging in. Ripley booted her out or booted 521 00:27:38.599 --> 00:27:40.839 her down to the mat I should say so. Ria 522 00:27:40.880 --> 00:27:43.519 took out Naomi on the floor with a cannonball right 523 00:27:43.640 --> 00:27:46.960 wipes out the champion. She climbs back up on the apron. Eo, 524 00:27:47.000 --> 00:27:49.920 though dove through the ropes, grabbed a hold of Rhea 525 00:27:50.000 --> 00:27:51.359 on the way down as she was going for a 526 00:27:51.359 --> 00:27:54.200 sunset bomb. Rhea held on but then she let go 527 00:27:54.759 --> 00:27:58.000 and then EO power bomb Rhea on top of Naomi 528 00:27:58.039 --> 00:28:01.200 who was laying on the ground. Ria and Eo they 529 00:28:01.279 --> 00:28:04.119 ended up back inside and on the ropes. Ria got 530 00:28:04.160 --> 00:28:08.000 Eo in position for an avalanche riptide from the middle rope. 531 00:28:08.640 --> 00:28:11.160 She dropped her and again she had the title one. 532 00:28:11.799 --> 00:28:15.359 This was her match to lose, just like an evolution, right, 533 00:28:15.359 --> 00:28:18.119 she got that visual pin right, there was no referee. 534 00:28:19.319 --> 00:28:21.559 Naomi at that moment. Jump back into the rings. She 535 00:28:21.680 --> 00:28:26.160 schoolboyed Rhea while holding on to Ria's gear, her belt, 536 00:28:26.200 --> 00:28:30.039 whatever it was for added leverage, and she pinned Rhea 537 00:28:30.160 --> 00:28:34.680 ripley to retain the title. When this was over, my 538 00:28:34.759 --> 00:28:37.759 first thought was, well, it was not WrestleMania, and it 539 00:28:37.839 --> 00:28:39.640 was hard to not yet you don't want to compare, 540 00:28:40.000 --> 00:28:44.039 but you know, again, it's hard not to. Two of 541 00:28:44.079 --> 00:28:46.200 the three women in this match were in the triple 542 00:28:46.240 --> 00:28:49.440 Threat match at WrestleMania, and here we are yet another 543 00:28:49.480 --> 00:28:52.480 triple threat match for the women's world title. So it's 544 00:28:52.480 --> 00:28:56.200 hard not to have, you know, certain expectations coming into this. 545 00:28:56.200 --> 00:28:59.079 This was not WrestleMania. It was still a fun match. 546 00:28:59.160 --> 00:29:03.559 It could not recapture the magic that those three women 547 00:29:04.039 --> 00:29:09.039 had back in April. That's not what this was, or 548 00:29:09.079 --> 00:29:11.079 even the greatness of the match between Riha and Eo 549 00:29:11.160 --> 00:29:14.160 at Evolution. This was not as good as that match either. 550 00:29:15.079 --> 00:29:16.720 You know, if I had to rate it, I would 551 00:29:16.759 --> 00:29:18.559 go as solid three and a half out of five 552 00:29:19.119 --> 00:29:24.799 for this match here, unlike it WrestleMania, you know, because Bianca. 553 00:29:24.920 --> 00:29:28.000 This was not the case with Bianca with Naomi, because 554 00:29:28.240 --> 00:29:31.240 she was the lone heel in this match. What she 555 00:29:31.319 --> 00:29:33.559 was trying to do was actively trying to avoid these 556 00:29:33.599 --> 00:29:36.400 two women wherever she could, and she would sneak in 557 00:29:36.440 --> 00:29:39.880 at the most you know, opportune moment. So the psychology 558 00:29:39.920 --> 00:29:43.079 here was a little bit different. And also the fact 559 00:29:43.079 --> 00:29:46.640 that Rhea Ripley had this match one more than once 560 00:29:47.680 --> 00:29:52.519 and yet again had the championship potentially taken away from her, 561 00:29:52.680 --> 00:29:54.200 and that was the story they were trying to get 562 00:29:54.240 --> 00:29:56.799 over on commentary as well. So now we know that 563 00:29:56.920 --> 00:30:00.920 Naomi is defending that title against Stephanie vicer a clash 564 00:30:00.920 --> 00:30:03.559 in Paris at the end of this month. No surprise there. 565 00:30:03.680 --> 00:30:07.240 I mean again, we had to know this, Like nobody 566 00:30:07.359 --> 00:30:10.279 reasonably would have expected Naomi to lose the championship in 567 00:30:10.319 --> 00:30:14.640 her first defense. Why would she so I mean that 568 00:30:15.319 --> 00:30:17.680 she's going on to wrestle Stephanie is not really much 569 00:30:17.680 --> 00:30:20.920 of a surprise. What I'm wondering is what is the 570 00:30:20.960 --> 00:30:24.720 next direction here for Ria Ripley. Now they have that 571 00:30:24.799 --> 00:30:28.359 show coming up in October in Perth. You would think 572 00:30:28.359 --> 00:30:30.640 that Rhea is going to be going for the championship 573 00:30:31.200 --> 00:30:36.039 in Perth. Why wouldn't she? Well, Perth is still two 574 00:30:36.079 --> 00:30:38.519 months away, so you know, what does she do in 575 00:30:38.559 --> 00:30:42.079 the meantime and how do they get there? Are they 576 00:30:42.160 --> 00:30:44.599 doing the same thing they did at the last Crown 577 00:30:44.680 --> 00:30:48.039 Jewel in Saudi when they did Champion against Champion, Because 578 00:30:48.039 --> 00:30:51.200 if they do that, Ria wouldn't be getting a title 579 00:30:51.200 --> 00:30:54.839 match on that show. The Raw after the Crown Jewel 580 00:30:54.839 --> 00:30:57.519 show is also in Perth, right, the Perth show is 581 00:30:57.559 --> 00:31:00.960 on October eleventh. They have Raw in Perth, Australia on 582 00:31:00.960 --> 00:31:04.640 October thirteenth. Maybe Riho Ripley gets a championship match on 583 00:31:04.839 --> 00:31:08.680 Raw and not at Crown Jewels, so that has to 584 00:31:08.680 --> 00:31:11.400 be the destination for her. What she does in the meantime, 585 00:31:11.480 --> 00:31:14.000 I don't know. I'm a little more worried about Eo Sky. 586 00:31:15.200 --> 00:31:17.680 Rhea Ripley is going to be just fine. Like Rhea 587 00:31:17.759 --> 00:31:21.160 Ripley will always be in the mix because Rhea Ripley 588 00:31:21.240 --> 00:31:23.160 is one of the most popular stars they have on 589 00:31:23.200 --> 00:31:26.480 that roster. I'm worried that Eo Sky is going to 590 00:31:26.559 --> 00:31:28.759 sort of fall between the cracks and just end up 591 00:31:28.799 --> 00:31:32.599 in the mid card somewhere, not doing anything particularly special. 592 00:31:33.480 --> 00:31:36.000 I hope that doesn't happen, or at least not for 593 00:31:36.160 --> 00:31:38.480 very long. If that means that they want to move 594 00:31:38.519 --> 00:31:41.279 her and shift her over to SmackDown, I'm all for that. 595 00:31:42.119 --> 00:31:44.000 She is one of the best they have in the 596 00:31:44.119 --> 00:31:46.440 entire company. I don't want to see her fall through 597 00:31:46.440 --> 00:31:48.839 the cracks. I don't want to see her have to 598 00:31:48.839 --> 00:31:51.839 go to the back of the line. So I really hope, 599 00:31:51.920 --> 00:31:55.400 even more than Rhea, Eo is the one who I 600 00:31:55.440 --> 00:31:58.119 really hope you know they have a solid plan for 601 00:31:58.319 --> 00:32:00.440 coming out of this, because I mean, just be a 602 00:32:00.440 --> 00:32:06.519 fucking waste if they didn't. That they showed Tyrese Haliburton 603 00:32:07.599 --> 00:32:11.480 in the crowd and the Indiana Pacers and they mentioned 604 00:32:11.480 --> 00:32:14.160 that he had just had surgery for its foreign achilles tendon. 605 00:32:15.359 --> 00:32:18.200 I do remember that injury. I think we all do. 606 00:32:18.359 --> 00:32:22.440 If you were watching the NBA Finals, Nick Hogan and 607 00:32:22.480 --> 00:32:25.799 his wife were also back again as they were last night. 608 00:32:25.799 --> 00:32:30.920 For Night one, they showed Michelle McCool and her daughter, 609 00:32:31.839 --> 00:32:36.319 her and Undertaker's daughter in the crowd, and in celebration 610 00:32:36.440 --> 00:32:39.839 of this being twenty five years since the very first 611 00:32:39.880 --> 00:32:44.839 TLC match at SummerSlam, they cut to the Dudley Boys 612 00:32:45.319 --> 00:32:48.319 in the crowd, Bubba Ray and Devon, and then in 613 00:32:48.400 --> 00:32:50.000 a different part of the crowd they cut to the 614 00:32:50.039 --> 00:32:53.039 Hardy Boys and they plugged the fact that they were 615 00:32:53.079 --> 00:32:55.279 about to have one more match together at the TNA 616 00:32:55.319 --> 00:32:58.160 Bound for Glory pay per view just coming up in October. 617 00:32:59.119 --> 00:33:01.880 I of course looking at Bubbaret and I'm saying, wait 618 00:33:01.880 --> 00:33:05.640 a minute, that's Bully Ray, the House of Glory Crown 619 00:33:05.759 --> 00:33:08.079 Jewel Champion. I was kind of hoping he would have 620 00:33:08.160 --> 00:33:12.160 the belt with him, but he didn't. I know he 621 00:33:12.200 --> 00:33:13.799 had it at the he had it at Wrestle Khan. 622 00:33:15.519 --> 00:33:17.519 That would have been something if he was flashing that 623 00:33:17.680 --> 00:33:20.880 hog title here on the Summerslim. But no such luck. 624 00:33:21.519 --> 00:33:24.000 But that led into the tables, ladders and chairs match. 625 00:33:24.279 --> 00:33:28.000 Twenty five years later, we have another TLC match, and 626 00:33:28.079 --> 00:33:30.839 this time it is double the size of the first one. 627 00:33:30.960 --> 00:33:34.480 First one had three teams this one had six. It 628 00:33:34.519 --> 00:33:38.599 was the Wyat six defending the tag team titles against 629 00:33:38.599 --> 00:33:44.519 the Street Profits, DIY, MotorCity machine Guns, Phraxium, and the 630 00:33:44.559 --> 00:33:49.440 team of Andrade and Ray Phoenix. Tables, ladders, and chairs 631 00:33:49.440 --> 00:33:52.680 were set up all around ringside, and you had to 632 00:33:52.759 --> 00:33:57.079 know coming into this match, this is going to be insanity. 633 00:33:57.559 --> 00:34:04.000 You have twelve men there, okay, Like, that's a lot 634 00:34:04.039 --> 00:34:06.119 of arms and legs, that's a lot of tables and 635 00:34:06.200 --> 00:34:09.199 chairs and ladders laying around. There's just so much that 636 00:34:09.239 --> 00:34:12.039 could go wrong. But you had to know coming in 637 00:34:12.079 --> 00:34:14.039 that this was going to be pure insanity, and that's 638 00:34:14.079 --> 00:34:16.679 exactly what it was. Now. The Wyats got the last 639 00:34:16.800 --> 00:34:19.320 entrance coming out. No lights out for this because they 640 00:34:19.360 --> 00:34:23.199 were outdoors and it was still light outside, and from 641 00:34:23.239 --> 00:34:26.400 the opening bell, all of the other teams immediately ganged 642 00:34:26.480 --> 00:34:29.400 up on Dexter Loomis and Joe Gacy. So there was 643 00:34:29.440 --> 00:34:32.119 a spot early on here where the Prophets attempted to 644 00:34:32.159 --> 00:34:35.599 backdrop Gasey onto a ladder that was leaning against the 645 00:34:35.599 --> 00:34:38.800 top rope in the center of the ring, but he 646 00:34:39.119 --> 00:34:42.119 missed the ladder and he rolled to the floor, and 647 00:34:42.199 --> 00:34:45.159 so montes Ford went outside. He threw him back into 648 00:34:45.159 --> 00:34:48.039 the ring and then he and Angelo Dawkins repeated the spot, 649 00:34:48.599 --> 00:34:50.960 and this time Gasey landed on the ladder and that 650 00:34:51.000 --> 00:34:55.440 got a pop from the crowd. The crowd had quite 651 00:34:55.440 --> 00:34:57.840 the reaction when they saw Ray Phoenix jump up on 652 00:34:58.039 --> 00:35:01.239 Androde's shoulders at one point and he almost I mean 653 00:35:01.280 --> 00:35:03.559 he got his hands on the titles like he was 654 00:35:03.880 --> 00:35:05.679 he didn't see a ladder. He was standing on this 655 00:35:05.719 --> 00:35:08.360 man's shoulders and almost was able to pull down the titles, 656 00:35:09.440 --> 00:35:12.440 but wasn't able to. He got close, but he wasn't 657 00:35:12.440 --> 00:35:14.400 able to do it. The street profits cut him off 658 00:35:15.320 --> 00:35:20.119 and Phoenix and Androde then delivered three amigos so tomaso champa. 659 00:35:20.639 --> 00:35:23.159 He tried to throw Montes forward into a table in 660 00:35:23.239 --> 00:35:27.519 the corner. Instead, Montes did his crazy flip dive over 661 00:35:27.559 --> 00:35:30.159 the ring post onto the pile of bodies on the 662 00:35:30.159 --> 00:35:33.679 floor outside. Johnny Gargano put Joe Gacy through a table 663 00:35:33.679 --> 00:35:36.960 with a DDT off the ropes. Dexter Loomis then hit 664 00:35:36.960 --> 00:35:41.159 this wild just fucking diving splash off the top rope 665 00:35:41.880 --> 00:35:45.039 onto Montes, who was laid out on a table on 666 00:35:45.119 --> 00:35:48.000 the floor outside. So he put him through the table 667 00:35:48.760 --> 00:35:52.199 Phoenix did a crazy top rope frog splash over the 668 00:35:52.280 --> 00:35:55.639 ring post to put Nathan Fraser through a table that 669 00:35:55.719 --> 00:35:59.480 he was laid across. Then Angelo Dawkins is like, well, shit, 670 00:36:00.480 --> 00:36:02.880 I don't want to be left out here, so he 671 00:36:02.920 --> 00:36:06.920 climbs to the top rope and he's got evil intentions. 672 00:36:07.880 --> 00:36:10.800 He's gonna do the same thing to Tamaso Champa. Champa 673 00:36:10.880 --> 00:36:14.360 is laying on a table outside, just accepting his fate 674 00:36:14.800 --> 00:36:18.880 right ready for whatever is about to come. Instead, Axiom 675 00:36:18.960 --> 00:36:22.920 cuts off Angelo Dawkins on the ropes, and Axiom then 676 00:36:23.440 --> 00:36:28.000 puts not just Angelo Dawkins but himself through that table 677 00:36:28.480 --> 00:36:32.199 down below, and thankfully for Tomaso Champa, he got up 678 00:36:32.239 --> 00:36:35.800 off the table just in time. So Shampa dives out 679 00:36:35.840 --> 00:36:39.679 of the way and Axiom and Dawkins come flying off 680 00:36:39.679 --> 00:36:42.800 with a Spanish fly and they come crashing through the table. 681 00:36:43.400 --> 00:36:45.599 This was the spot of the night right here, Like 682 00:36:45.639 --> 00:36:48.599 there's so much that could have gone wrong. And at 683 00:36:48.599 --> 00:36:52.800 first I thought that maybe Axium's leg, which I think 684 00:36:52.800 --> 00:36:55.239 did hit the barricade, but it like hit it in 685 00:36:55.280 --> 00:36:56.599 such a way where it's like, I hope he didn't 686 00:36:56.639 --> 00:37:00.400 break his leg. But they seem to be Okay, after 687 00:37:00.440 --> 00:37:04.119 the spot, I'm just, dude, I'm watching this. I'm just 688 00:37:04.199 --> 00:37:06.880 I'm watching this, and I'm thinking somebody's going to get killed, 689 00:37:07.360 --> 00:37:09.599 because it was like boom, boom boom. It was these 690 00:37:09.679 --> 00:37:14.280 rapid fire spots. Everybody's doing dives and the ringside areas 691 00:37:14.280 --> 00:37:17.920 getting all cluttered up with bodies and debris, and you know, 692 00:37:17.960 --> 00:37:20.000 at that point you start worrying about like, I just 693 00:37:20.039 --> 00:37:24.000 hope nobody kills themselves. By the way, I don't know 694 00:37:24.000 --> 00:37:27.039 how many people notice this. They have those stupid branded 695 00:37:27.320 --> 00:37:30.480 slim gym tables. I don't know if they're all like this, 696 00:37:30.599 --> 00:37:34.159 but some of the tables they were stacking them on 697 00:37:34.199 --> 00:37:36.960 the outside of one point the street profits were they 698 00:37:37.000 --> 00:37:41.400 had holes drilled into the tables, so all they had 699 00:37:41.440 --> 00:37:45.239 to do was take one table and when they stack 700 00:37:45.320 --> 00:37:48.320 it on the other, it actually fits into the holes. 701 00:37:49.480 --> 00:37:52.280 Like they're making it very easy for these people. So 702 00:37:52.280 --> 00:37:54.320 the first time I've ever noticed that that they're actually 703 00:37:54.440 --> 00:37:57.079 drilling holes now into these tables so that you can 704 00:37:57.199 --> 00:38:00.760 very gently fit another table into the slim on the 705 00:38:00.760 --> 00:38:04.480 first one. So Candace lay runs out, of course, she's 706 00:38:04.480 --> 00:38:08.000 with Diy and she tries to climb the ladder, but 707 00:38:08.199 --> 00:38:13.639 so too does Beefab, who's with the street profits. She's like, 708 00:38:13.719 --> 00:38:16.400 I don't think so, so she runs down. She pulls 709 00:38:16.440 --> 00:38:20.920 Candace off. Bfab tries to climb, so then Nicky Cross, 710 00:38:21.079 --> 00:38:23.239 who was out there with the Wyatt six. Nicky Cross 711 00:38:23.280 --> 00:38:26.239 gets into the ring. She gave Beefab a back suplex 712 00:38:26.480 --> 00:38:29.400 off the ladder. Candas then went back to the ladder. 713 00:38:29.440 --> 00:38:33.119 She's bound and determined to climb this thing, and Johnny 714 00:38:33.119 --> 00:38:36.800 Gargano was holding it steady for her. But montez Ford 715 00:38:37.239 --> 00:38:42.000 comes over and he shoves Gargano into the ladder, which 716 00:38:42.079 --> 00:38:47.639 causes Missus Gargano to go flying off the ladder and 717 00:38:47.679 --> 00:38:50.320 she goes crashing through a ladder bridge outside the ring. 718 00:38:50.360 --> 00:38:52.320 And it was actually a hell of a bump that 719 00:38:52.400 --> 00:38:55.679 she took, and she, you know, took it like a champ. 720 00:38:55.960 --> 00:38:58.360 The ladder broke. I don't know what these fucking ladders 721 00:38:58.360 --> 00:39:01.199 are made of. It says like it painted would basically, 722 00:39:01.239 --> 00:39:04.760 these are the fucking wooden ladders here that they paint silver. 723 00:39:05.719 --> 00:39:07.719 But she went right through the ladder, and you know what, 724 00:39:08.519 --> 00:39:11.519 this was the second craziest, right if the Spanish fly 725 00:39:11.719 --> 00:39:14.760 was the craziest bump of the night. Then this was 726 00:39:14.800 --> 00:39:18.920 the second craziest one. And you know what, probably not 727 00:39:19.039 --> 00:39:22.320 even the craziest bump that Candace Lray has ever taken 728 00:39:23.000 --> 00:39:28.360 in WWE, probably, but in her career, not even the 729 00:39:28.400 --> 00:39:32.079 craziest bump that Candace has ever taken. So she'll she'll 730 00:39:32.119 --> 00:39:34.760 be fine. So the referees went over to go check 731 00:39:34.800 --> 00:39:38.719 on Candace, and Johnny is looking outside and he sees 732 00:39:38.760 --> 00:39:42.800 his wife is in distress, right, he doesn't even know 733 00:39:42.800 --> 00:39:45.119 if his wife. His wife is barely alive out there, 734 00:39:46.159 --> 00:39:48.239 but he's just like looking outside to make sure. I 735 00:39:48.239 --> 00:39:51.960 guess that she's moving in that she's breathing, and gives 736 00:39:52.000 --> 00:39:55.239 her thumbs up before turning his attention back to the match. 737 00:39:56.199 --> 00:39:59.960 He opted to continue the match without even going outside 738 00:40:00.480 --> 00:40:04.079 to check on his wife. He chose the titles over 739 00:40:04.159 --> 00:40:10.559 his own wife, Eric Rowan, who is not a legal 740 00:40:11.079 --> 00:40:13.440 competitor in this match. But I mean, I guess it 741 00:40:13.480 --> 00:40:16.239 doesn't matter. None of these fucking people are Candace is not. 742 00:40:17.119 --> 00:40:20.599 BFAB is not. But there's no rules, right, so anybody 743 00:40:20.599 --> 00:40:23.880 could get involved here. He gets into the ring and 744 00:40:23.960 --> 00:40:26.239 attacks the street profits, but then they fight him off 745 00:40:26.280 --> 00:40:29.000 with chairs. They put him through a table, that was 746 00:40:29.039 --> 00:40:33.480 propped up in the corner with a shoulder tackle. Champa 747 00:40:33.519 --> 00:40:35.760 climbed the ladder and grabbed the harness. They have that 748 00:40:35.840 --> 00:40:39.119 harness that the titles hang for whatever it's called, that 749 00:40:39.800 --> 00:40:43.039 golden piece that the title bells hang from, and say 750 00:40:43.079 --> 00:40:46.000 he grabbed a hold of it. MotorCity machine Guns. Though, 751 00:40:46.039 --> 00:40:49.199 they get underneath the ladder and they pull the ladder 752 00:40:49.239 --> 00:40:53.599 away slowly. So now Shampa is hanging from the cable, right, 753 00:40:53.639 --> 00:40:58.079 He's just dangling there in the air, and Nathan Fraser 754 00:40:58.920 --> 00:41:02.239 climbs up on a ladder on the ladder which has 755 00:41:02.239 --> 00:41:05.119 now been moved away. But he climbs up on the 756 00:41:05.199 --> 00:41:09.440 ladder and he is getting ready to do a spear 757 00:41:10.039 --> 00:41:12.760 off the ladder. He's doing the edge and Jeff Hardy 758 00:41:12.840 --> 00:41:17.039 spot from WrestleMania x seven, or at least that was 759 00:41:17.239 --> 00:41:21.519 his intent. Champa, though, managed to use his legs to 760 00:41:22.079 --> 00:41:27.039 somehow pull himself up on the cable, so now he 761 00:41:27.199 --> 00:41:31.360 was hanging upside down, and Fraser missed him and he 762 00:41:31.480 --> 00:41:34.840 crashed and burned. And I'm just I'm looking at Tomaso 763 00:41:34.920 --> 00:41:38.079 Champan now I'm afraid of heights. I'm looking at Tomaso 764 00:41:38.159 --> 00:41:39.800 ch and so is Devon, by the way, I always 765 00:41:39.840 --> 00:41:41.639 get a kick out of it when Devon Dudley talks 766 00:41:41.639 --> 00:41:44.679 about all the TLC matches he was in and he's 767 00:41:44.719 --> 00:41:48.280 still to this day like deathly afraid of heights. But 768 00:41:48.320 --> 00:41:52.519 I'm watching Tomaso Champa, you know, just hanging there like that. 769 00:41:52.519 --> 00:41:55.280 I'd probably pass out if that were me. But to 770 00:41:55.360 --> 00:41:58.440 hang up there like that, upside down, like when he 771 00:41:58.480 --> 00:42:01.840 got his legs up there and he's basically hanging upside 772 00:42:01.880 --> 00:42:05.559 down like I would, I would shit myself. And the 773 00:42:05.599 --> 00:42:07.719 problem is if I'm hanging upside down like I would 774 00:42:07.719 --> 00:42:09.800 shit myself and it would come right back down on 775 00:42:09.880 --> 00:42:12.440 top of me, Like I feel, it would be a 776 00:42:12.480 --> 00:42:16.480 really bad situation if that would be hanging from that cable. 777 00:42:16.519 --> 00:42:20.559 I'm just saying. So. Moments later, a few teams scrambled 778 00:42:20.639 --> 00:42:24.920 up separate ladders to grab the belts. Incomes Uncle Howdy 779 00:42:25.880 --> 00:42:29.360 and he knocks everybody down, and that includes pushing the 780 00:42:29.440 --> 00:42:32.719 ladder over that had Diy on it. And there goes 781 00:42:32.800 --> 00:42:36.559 Johnny Gargano and Tomasso Champo and they go flying out 782 00:42:36.559 --> 00:42:40.039 of the ring and through the stacked slim gym tables outside. 783 00:42:40.639 --> 00:42:42.880 So that was the end of diy. We did not 784 00:42:42.920 --> 00:42:47.239 see them again. Uncle Howdy bo Dallas whatever Michael Cole 785 00:42:47.280 --> 00:42:50.920 called him by both names, also not a legal competitor. 786 00:42:50.920 --> 00:42:55.360 In this match, he's climbing the ladder. Nathan Fraser races 787 00:42:55.480 --> 00:42:59.320 up the ladder. Uncle Howdy applies the mandible claw and 788 00:42:59.400 --> 00:43:02.400 he lets free your fall off to his doom. Here 789 00:43:02.440 --> 00:43:06.400 comes Androte. He does a sunset bomb that sends Uncle 790 00:43:06.440 --> 00:43:11.119 Howdy backwards, crashing onto a ladder bridge and so that's 791 00:43:11.159 --> 00:43:14.760 the end of Uncle Howdy. He rolls out to the floor. Eventually, 792 00:43:14.800 --> 00:43:17.239 Dexter Loomis and Joe Gasey hit their double team finish 793 00:43:17.320 --> 00:43:21.360 on Phoenix and Loomis. He kind of stood guard while 794 00:43:21.480 --> 00:43:24.280 Joe Gacy climbed the ladder and he pulled the titles down, 795 00:43:24.360 --> 00:43:28.159 and you could hear fans audibly booing and groaning. It 796 00:43:28.199 --> 00:43:30.920 wasn't like the entire stadium, but enough of them that 797 00:43:30.960 --> 00:43:32.639 you could you could pick up on it like they 798 00:43:32.679 --> 00:43:35.119 were disappointed. They were hoping somebody else was gonna win 799 00:43:35.159 --> 00:43:38.400 this match and we would have a title change. But 800 00:43:38.559 --> 00:43:41.320 you know, once he actually pulled the titles down, yeah, 801 00:43:41.400 --> 00:43:45.239 people gave polite applause and they cheered. So he ended 802 00:43:45.320 --> 00:43:51.159 up getting a nice reaction. This was pure insanity. This 803 00:43:51.280 --> 00:43:54.519 was pure insanity from start to finish. They work this 804 00:43:54.719 --> 00:44:00.000 match like twelve men who in most cases were less 805 00:44:00.199 --> 00:44:02.880 off the Wrestle Media Card this year. That's why they 806 00:44:02.880 --> 00:44:05.960 had to do a TLC match on TV I think 807 00:44:06.039 --> 00:44:08.480 the following week. I think it was right that Friday. 808 00:44:09.599 --> 00:44:12.199 That's why, because they had no room for them on 809 00:44:12.239 --> 00:44:16.360 the Wrestle Media card. Well, now they're on SummerSlam in 810 00:44:16.400 --> 00:44:20.440 a stadium with sixty thousand people, and their only goal 811 00:44:20.519 --> 00:44:23.239 now is to go out there and steal the show. 812 00:44:24.280 --> 00:44:26.199 And that's what it felt like. They were out there 813 00:44:26.239 --> 00:44:29.480 to do all these crazy dives and spots and really 814 00:44:29.519 --> 00:44:32.880 try to steal the show. There's not a lot of 815 00:44:33.559 --> 00:44:36.199 psychology to be found, you know, in a match like this, 816 00:44:36.360 --> 00:44:39.000 especially when you have six teams. If you have two 817 00:44:39.039 --> 00:44:41.880 teams or even three teams, it's a little bit easier, 818 00:44:42.599 --> 00:44:46.239 but when you have that many bodies out there, again, 819 00:44:46.920 --> 00:44:51.039 there's really not much in the way of story that 820 00:44:51.079 --> 00:44:53.039 you could tell. There's not a lot of selling that 821 00:44:53.079 --> 00:44:56.920 you can do. You're out there to do spots. You know, 822 00:44:57.079 --> 00:44:59.199 match like this is designed to be a spot fest, 823 00:45:00.039 --> 00:45:02.079 So if you're a fan of those types of matches, 824 00:45:02.119 --> 00:45:05.880 the spotfest matches, the big multiperson ladder matches. Then this 825 00:45:05.920 --> 00:45:08.559 is right up your alley, and as those types of 826 00:45:08.599 --> 00:45:12.880 matches go, I thought this was this was an excellent one, 827 00:45:13.000 --> 00:45:14.960 but that you kind of know going into this that 828 00:45:14.960 --> 00:45:17.400 that's what you're gonna get. I'm glad they all got 829 00:45:17.400 --> 00:45:19.440 a chance to be on the show. They deserved it. 830 00:45:19.840 --> 00:45:22.440 The SmackDown Tag Team Division has been killing it now 831 00:45:22.480 --> 00:45:26.119 for months and they were overdue for a big pl match, 832 00:45:26.280 --> 00:45:27.760 Like at some point you have to put them on 833 00:45:27.800 --> 00:45:30.360 a major show. So I'm glad they were able to 834 00:45:30.400 --> 00:45:33.159 get almost every team. I mean, I think the only 835 00:45:33.360 --> 00:45:36.199 two teams that were missing were Los Garza, who were 836 00:45:36.239 --> 00:45:39.440 on SmackDown Friday and pretty Deadly, and I think Elton 837 00:45:39.480 --> 00:45:42.679 Prince is out hurt. Everybody else was accounted for in 838 00:45:42.719 --> 00:45:46.159 this match, but it was just one crazy, dangerous spot 839 00:45:46.239 --> 00:45:49.519 after another. They pulled it off, hopefully with minimal bumps 840 00:45:49.519 --> 00:45:52.639 and bruises and no injuries. I could just see them all. 841 00:45:52.719 --> 00:45:54.840 I want the scene on the next season of Unreal 842 00:45:55.400 --> 00:45:57.480 where they walk back through the curtain into the gorilla 843 00:45:57.519 --> 00:46:00.239 position and they're just like, there's like a big dish 844 00:46:00.320 --> 00:46:02.800 sitting there and it's like painkillers for everyone, and they 845 00:46:02.880 --> 00:46:04.880 just go like one by one, they just they grab 846 00:46:04.920 --> 00:46:07.159 a fucking fistfall as they walk back through the curtain. 847 00:46:07.840 --> 00:46:09.320 I don't know how you get through a match like 848 00:46:09.360 --> 00:46:14.320 this without taking something when you're done. Today's episode is 849 00:46:14.360 --> 00:46:18.280 sponsored by mint Mobile. Summer kicked in again this week 850 00:46:18.320 --> 00:46:20.519 here in a big way. It was back up into 851 00:46:20.559 --> 00:46:23.239 the nineties. I went outside to do some walking and 852 00:46:23.280 --> 00:46:26.719 I got burned. That was my mistake, just like it 853 00:46:26.800 --> 00:46:28.800 was my mistake when I got burned by my old 854 00:46:28.800 --> 00:46:32.239 wireless bill. Never again. If I told you what it 855 00:46:32.280 --> 00:46:34.280 was costing me at one point, you wouldn't believe it, 856 00:46:34.920 --> 00:46:37.880 or maybe you would. Maybe that's the problem, but it 857 00:46:37.920 --> 00:46:40.400 doesn't have to be.

As we get into 897 00:48:39.320 --> 00:48:43.280 this next match here, which was for the Women's Intercontinental Championship, 898 00:48:43.360 --> 00:48:48.280 it was Becky Lynch defending against Lyra Valkyria. This was 899 00:48:48.360 --> 00:48:53.880 no count out, no disqualification. Becky Lynch has a new 900 00:48:53.920 --> 00:48:57.360 theme song. I told you guys about this earlier today 901 00:48:57.519 --> 00:49:01.800 on SoundOff episode nine to twenty three. She has been 902 00:49:01.880 --> 00:49:05.360 teasing it on social media. There's been talk that she 903 00:49:05.440 --> 00:49:07.719 was getting a brand new song. It is by the 904 00:49:07.840 --> 00:49:11.920 pop punk band called The Wonder Years, also a fine 905 00:49:11.960 --> 00:49:15.559 television show back in the day. So she debuted her 906 00:49:15.599 --> 00:49:17.960 new music tonight, and from what I could hear of it, 907 00:49:17.960 --> 00:49:21.199 it sounds pretty badass. I'm waiting for the Spotify drop 908 00:49:21.719 --> 00:49:24.239 so that i can listen to it, you know, in 909 00:49:24.840 --> 00:49:28.480 proper form. Anything not Deaf Rebel is okay with me, 910 00:49:28.920 --> 00:49:32.559 so it gets a thumbs up from me. Now, Becky 911 00:49:32.599 --> 00:49:35.719 grabbed the kendo stick, and this was right at the 912 00:49:35.760 --> 00:49:39.079 beginning of the match, and she was shocked to see 913 00:49:39.159 --> 00:49:43.920 Lyra pull up with a crowbar. So Valkyrias smashed the 914 00:49:43.960 --> 00:49:46.599 kendo stick out of Becky's hand and tried to kill 915 00:49:46.639 --> 00:49:49.280 her with the crowbar, and Becky avoided it, and then 916 00:49:49.280 --> 00:49:52.440 she yelled at Lyra for trying to murder her with 917 00:49:52.559 --> 00:49:57.559 the crowbar. So after this, there was a funny spot 918 00:49:57.599 --> 00:50:01.639 where Valkyria tried tossing Becky into the barricade and instead 919 00:50:01.719 --> 00:50:06.880 shoved her into a cameraman who unsuspecting cameraman who was 920 00:50:06.880 --> 00:50:10.079 not expecting this to happen, and the cameraman acted like 921 00:50:10.159 --> 00:50:13.119 nothing happened and just walked to the other side of 922 00:50:13.119 --> 00:50:16.760 the barricade. So Valkyrias set up a table, and the 923 00:50:16.800 --> 00:50:18.719 crowd didn't even give a shit because we had just 924 00:50:18.760 --> 00:50:21.440 seen a bunch of tables in the match prior. Now, 925 00:50:21.440 --> 00:50:24.480 I'll get into this in my postmatch comments here, but 926 00:50:25.119 --> 00:50:29.159 nobody really cared. So Becky grabbed her from behind by 927 00:50:29.239 --> 00:50:34.239 wrapping a chain around Lyra's mouth. Becky shoved her into 928 00:50:34.239 --> 00:50:36.719 the steel steps and then attacked her repeatedly with a 929 00:50:36.800 --> 00:50:40.880 candow stick. The crowd sounded very bored by all of this. 930 00:50:41.719 --> 00:50:44.679 Becky used the kendo stick like a golf club, a 931 00:50:44.719 --> 00:50:48.239 little nod to her role and happy gilmore too. She 932 00:50:48.360 --> 00:50:50.800 continued the beat down. She used a steel chair, she 933 00:50:50.880 --> 00:50:54.719 used a toolbox. Becky then zip tied Lyra's hands together 934 00:50:54.800 --> 00:50:58.360 and attacked her with a wrench. This all sounds so ridiculous, 935 00:50:59.239 --> 00:51:02.400 like this is the antithesis of what I loved about 936 00:51:02.559 --> 00:51:04.880 all of the matches that these two women had previously, 937 00:51:06.159 --> 00:51:08.840 And this is what I was worried that this would 938 00:51:08.840 --> 00:51:12.920 degenerate into. We have kendo sticks, we have zip ties, 939 00:51:13.000 --> 00:51:16.400 we have wrenches, we have crowbars, we have all kinds 940 00:51:16.400 --> 00:51:22.199 of bullshit here. Becky followed with some exploders suplexes. Then 941 00:51:22.239 --> 00:51:27.199 she trapped Lyra hands first over the ring post and 942 00:51:27.480 --> 00:51:30.559 attacked her repeatedly with the kendo sticks. So, if you're 943 00:51:30.599 --> 00:51:33.840 looking for the visual here, this was taken right out 944 00:51:33.840 --> 00:51:36.519 of the I Quit match at Breaking Point in two 945 00:51:36.559 --> 00:51:40.320 thousand and nine between John Cena and Randy Jorton. And 946 00:51:40.400 --> 00:51:42.119 if you've never seen the match, you may have seen 947 00:51:42.159 --> 00:51:45.440 that image of seen it with his hands cuffed. I 948 00:51:45.440 --> 00:51:49.880 think it was handcuffs, not zip ties over the ring post, helpless, 949 00:51:50.360 --> 00:51:54.119 and Orton was just I mean blasting him with kendo 950 00:51:54.199 --> 00:51:57.679 stick shots to the ribs. So that's the spot that 951 00:51:57.719 --> 00:51:59.519 they did here, that's what they were going for here. 952 00:52:00.480 --> 00:52:02.519 Great match, by the way, if you've never seen it before, 953 00:52:02.599 --> 00:52:05.280 that I Quit match. Actually, if it's not the best, 954 00:52:05.320 --> 00:52:07.239 one of the best John Seen and Randy Orton matches 955 00:52:07.280 --> 00:52:11.880 they've ever had is that Breaking Point match. So Lyra 956 00:52:12.039 --> 00:52:14.159 managed to hit a belly to belly supplex even with 957 00:52:14.199 --> 00:52:16.960 her hands still tied together, so the landing did not 958 00:52:17.039 --> 00:52:21.559 look very fun for Becky Lynch. Valkyria fought back with 959 00:52:21.559 --> 00:52:25.280 a leaping drop kick off some chairs. Valkyria managed a 960 00:52:25.360 --> 00:52:28.920 moon salt off the middle rope with her hands still tied. 961 00:52:30.079 --> 00:52:33.519 She untied one of the turnbuckle pads. Becky, though, drove 962 00:52:33.559 --> 00:52:36.880 her into the ring post. So Valkyria then disappeared underneath 963 00:52:36.880 --> 00:52:40.159 the ring and when Becky went after her, Valkyria sprayed 964 00:52:40.159 --> 00:52:43.079 her with a fire extinguish her. So Lyra now is 965 00:52:43.079 --> 00:52:45.960 trying to use the fire extinguish her handle to break 966 00:52:46.000 --> 00:52:48.800 the zip tie. She's trying to free herself and she's 967 00:52:48.800 --> 00:52:51.880 having a bitch of a time, and the fans again 968 00:52:51.960 --> 00:52:55.119 are just very bored waiting for this woman to try 969 00:52:55.119 --> 00:52:58.400 to free herself. She couldn't get them off, so she 970 00:52:58.440 --> 00:53:02.639 crawls underneath the ring. She disappears. I would like to 971 00:53:02.679 --> 00:53:07.280 think that they have a person underneath the ring that's 972 00:53:07.320 --> 00:53:10.679 just hanging out under there. And Lyra goes underneath and 973 00:53:10.800 --> 00:53:12.159 is like, hey, I need your help, and he's like, 974 00:53:12.159 --> 00:53:14.480 oh sure, and he just cuts her loose. Because when 975 00:53:14.519 --> 00:53:17.760 she re emerged she was free. The zip ties were 976 00:53:17.800 --> 00:53:22.199 magically off, and she attacked Becky with a kendostick until 977 00:53:22.199 --> 00:53:26.159 it shattered. She dropped, kicked a chair into Becky's head, 978 00:53:26.679 --> 00:53:30.840 and then hit her nightwing finish off the second step 979 00:53:30.920 --> 00:53:33.840 of the ring steps onto the floor in the ring, 980 00:53:33.920 --> 00:53:37.000 Valkyrie had tried a corner charge. Becky, though moved and 981 00:53:37.239 --> 00:53:40.800 Lyra crashed into the exposed turnbuckle. Becky followed with a 982 00:53:40.840 --> 00:53:45.159 man handle slam onto two chairs for a close near fall. 983 00:53:46.360 --> 00:53:49.480 Becky trapped Lyra into a chair and then drove her 984 00:53:49.480 --> 00:53:52.519 into the announced desk and then back into the ring post. 985 00:53:52.840 --> 00:53:55.480 And so with Lyra still trapped in the chair was 986 00:53:55.519 --> 00:54:00.079 basically wrapped around her, Becky kind of leaped off the 987 00:54:00.119 --> 00:54:03.599 table and stomp the chair. So Becky was about to 988 00:54:03.719 --> 00:54:05.840 kill Lyra with the crowbar. This was it, This is 989 00:54:05.880 --> 00:54:07.880 going to be the kill shot. All of a sudden, 990 00:54:07.920 --> 00:54:11.480 Bailey appears from out of nowhere, out of the crowd. 991 00:54:11.519 --> 00:54:15.920 I guess Bailey is there. She stops her and Becky 992 00:54:16.239 --> 00:54:18.719 is trying to reason with Bailey and tries talking her 993 00:54:19.000 --> 00:54:22.920 into hitting Lyra. You know, you hit her, and Bailey 994 00:54:22.960 --> 00:54:25.360 couldn't bring herself to do it, so Becky tried to 995 00:54:25.400 --> 00:54:28.559 attack her with a steel chain. Bailey attacked Becky instead. 996 00:54:29.519 --> 00:54:33.760 Becky avoided a charge and Bailey she came charging in 997 00:54:33.960 --> 00:54:37.800 and Bailey flies over the barricade into the first row. 998 00:54:39.199 --> 00:54:42.760 Lynch tried using a slim gym table to get back 999 00:54:42.840 --> 00:54:45.519 up to her feet. She's kind of like sprawled on it, 1000 00:54:45.639 --> 00:54:49.039 just trying to, you know, get herself vertical again. And 1001 00:54:49.320 --> 00:54:52.360 this was great because they had such a tight camera 1002 00:54:52.440 --> 00:54:55.519 shot that you couldn't see anything but Becky and the table, 1003 00:54:56.000 --> 00:54:58.519 and so all of a sudden, Lyra Valkyria just comes 1004 00:54:58.599 --> 00:55:01.840 flying into the shot with like a leaping leg drop. 1005 00:55:02.159 --> 00:55:05.119 I guess off the apron. I assumed she didn't climb 1006 00:55:05.159 --> 00:55:07.880 to the top, and so she dives off the apron 1007 00:55:08.039 --> 00:55:10.800 and she puts Becky through the table with a flying 1008 00:55:10.880 --> 00:55:13.960 leg drop. It's like a jump scare in a horror movie. 1009 00:55:15.320 --> 00:55:16.960 So back in the ring, Becky slipped out of a 1010 00:55:17.079 --> 00:55:20.679 night wing attempt. Valkyriea countered out of a manhandle slam 1011 00:55:20.719 --> 00:55:24.000 with an arm drag. Becky is standing near the ropes. 1012 00:55:24.239 --> 00:55:27.239 Bailey is now up on the apron and she takes 1013 00:55:27.280 --> 00:55:31.400 a swing at Becky. Becky ducks and Bailey ends up 1014 00:55:31.440 --> 00:55:36.320 hitting Lyra by accident, and Becky finally hits the man 1015 00:55:36.320 --> 00:55:40.440 handle slam and she scores the pin to retain the 1016 00:55:40.480 --> 00:55:45.559 Intercontinental title, which means that Lyra Valkyria can never again 1017 00:55:45.639 --> 00:55:49.440 challenge for this championship so long as Becky Lynch has 1018 00:55:49.480 --> 00:55:52.840 that title. Let me just say this, these two women, 1019 00:55:52.960 --> 00:55:56.840 they worked hard, they did, they took some they took 1020 00:55:56.880 --> 00:55:59.119 some pretty stiff bumps in this match, and they work 1021 00:55:59.159 --> 00:56:02.320 their asses off. This just didn't work. This didn't work 1022 00:56:02.360 --> 00:56:05.960 for me. First of all, this match went twenty five minutes. 1023 00:56:07.119 --> 00:56:10.440 There was no reason for this match to go twenty 1024 00:56:10.800 --> 00:56:15.079 five minutes. They gave these women almost ten minutes longer 1025 00:56:15.480 --> 00:56:19.239 than Naomi, Rhea and EO got for the opening triple 1026 00:56:19.280 --> 00:56:25.119 threat match. That is ridiculous. I'm sorry. A Women's World 1027 00:56:25.280 --> 00:56:31.280 Championship triple threat gets fifteen or sixteen minutes. This one 1028 00:56:31.280 --> 00:56:37.239 gets twenty five. So that was mistake number one. The 1029 00:56:37.280 --> 00:56:41.400 other mistake they made here was this came right after 1030 00:56:41.440 --> 00:56:44.079 the TLC match. Now, it was almost unavoidable because this 1031 00:56:44.199 --> 00:56:47.199 was the night of gimmick matches. You had a street 1032 00:56:47.239 --> 00:56:49.760 fight in the main event. Had this was basically a 1033 00:56:49.800 --> 00:56:52.000 fucking street fight, no DQ, no count. Now, what would 1034 00:56:52.039 --> 00:56:55.400 you call it now that you've watched this match? How 1035 00:56:55.480 --> 00:56:58.000 is this not a street fight? They basically had two 1036 00:56:58.000 --> 00:57:01.280 street fights. They had a cage match, they had a 1037 00:57:01.280 --> 00:57:07.320 TLC match. The triple threat technically is no DQ. The 1038 00:57:07.360 --> 00:57:10.079 only straight singles match of the entire card tonight was 1039 00:57:10.119 --> 00:57:13.840 aj Styles in Dominic Mysterio. Every other match had some 1040 00:57:13.880 --> 00:57:20.320 sort of gimmick or stipulation weapons galore tonight. So I 1041 00:57:20.320 --> 00:57:22.719 don't know that there really was a good place on 1042 00:57:22.800 --> 00:57:24.599 the card for this match, But to put this right 1043 00:57:24.639 --> 00:57:27.760 after the TLC match, when we saw how many tables 1044 00:57:27.760 --> 00:57:30.800 broken in that match, how many weapons were used chairs 1045 00:57:31.559 --> 00:57:33.519 in that match, and then you coming, you do this 1046 00:57:34.360 --> 00:57:36.800 and it's not nearly as exciting right as the car 1047 00:57:36.840 --> 00:57:39.519 crash we all just saw on the previous match. So 1048 00:57:39.719 --> 00:57:42.880 putting this on after the TLC match that was another mistake. 1049 00:57:43.639 --> 00:57:46.000 But they just they did too much. They were trying 1050 00:57:46.000 --> 00:57:47.679 to do all these different things. And I get the 1051 00:57:47.719 --> 00:57:50.119 logic behind them wanting to do the zip tie stuff 1052 00:57:50.559 --> 00:57:53.559 with Lyra, right, they wanted her to work from underneath 1053 00:57:53.920 --> 00:57:56.880 and make the heroic come back and you know, put 1054 00:57:56.920 --> 00:58:00.079 sympathy on Lyra Valcarrier for being handicapped and having to 1055 00:58:00.159 --> 00:58:02.199 work without the use of her hands and all that. 1056 00:58:02.960 --> 00:58:04.920 It didn't work. It didn't work in the way that 1057 00:58:04.960 --> 00:58:07.880 they intended. My issue with this, the biggest one is 1058 00:58:08.360 --> 00:58:11.320 I loved every match that these two women had coming 1059 00:58:11.360 --> 00:58:14.039 into this show, going back to their NXT match two 1060 00:58:14.119 --> 00:58:17.519 years ago. They always have excellent matches. The match they 1061 00:58:17.559 --> 00:58:19.280 had at Money in the Bank was even better than 1062 00:58:19.280 --> 00:58:22.480 the one they had at Backlash. Now you put them 1063 00:58:22.480 --> 00:58:25.239 in the ring and you give it basically the street 1064 00:58:25.280 --> 00:58:29.719 fight stipulation, and it's like every other fucking extreme rules 1065 00:58:29.760 --> 00:58:32.960 match that we get in WWA. We got to use 1066 00:58:33.039 --> 00:58:35.679 kendo sticks, we got to use wrenches, we got to 1067 00:58:35.800 --> 00:58:38.159 use crowbars, we got to use zip ties. How can 1068 00:58:38.199 --> 00:58:40.360 we use this? How can we do that? They got 1069 00:58:40.400 --> 00:58:43.440 away from what makes this feud work. They got away 1070 00:58:43.480 --> 00:58:46.320 from the chemistry that these two women have because they're 1071 00:58:46.360 --> 00:58:48.679 really good wrestlers and they go out there and they've 1072 00:58:48.679 --> 00:58:52.199 had really good wrestling matches, and that's not what tonight 1073 00:58:52.280 --> 00:58:55.400 was about. Tonight was about everything but the wrestling. So 1074 00:58:55.440 --> 00:58:58.719 it's no surprise to me having seen this, that I 1075 00:58:58.719 --> 00:59:01.440 would rank this dead last of all the matches these 1076 00:59:01.440 --> 00:59:04.719 two have had. I just did not like this match 1077 00:59:04.760 --> 00:59:06.760 as much as I liked all their previous matches. And 1078 00:59:06.800 --> 00:59:10.360 that's it's too bad, because they work really well together. 1079 00:59:11.159 --> 00:59:13.559 But I just could not get into this. I thought 1080 00:59:13.559 --> 00:59:16.440 that Bailey was gonna go heal. Instead they did the 1081 00:59:16.559 --> 00:59:21.519 accidental spot where she hit Lyra by accident, So that 1082 00:59:21.559 --> 00:59:24.599 continues the issues now with Bailey and Lyra. I guess 1083 00:59:24.920 --> 00:59:27.639 that's what Lira will be doing since she can't challenge 1084 00:59:27.639 --> 00:59:30.400 for the championship anymore. What else is she gonna do. 1085 00:59:30.480 --> 00:59:33.960 She's gonna feud with Bailey now some more. I'm surprised 1086 00:59:33.960 --> 00:59:36.559 Becky won, though, I really thought this was gonna be 1087 00:59:36.599 --> 00:59:40.719 the payoff where Lyra gets that win back, wins the 1088 00:59:40.800 --> 00:59:44.639 championship back, and maybe maybe they even move Becky. I 1089 00:59:44.679 --> 00:59:46.880 really I still feel that way. I still feel SmackDown 1090 00:59:46.920 --> 00:59:50.920 can really use Becky Lynch. Maybe they move somebody else, 1091 00:59:52.480 --> 00:59:55.719 Maybe they move Rhea, maybe they move Eo. You know, 1092 00:59:55.800 --> 00:59:58.719 maybe they call up a Jordan Grace to smack Down, 1093 00:59:58.760 --> 01:00:02.239 because SmackDown really could use someone right now, someone more 1094 01:00:03.000 --> 01:00:07.320 in that division. But yeah, I just I wish I 1095 01:00:07.320 --> 01:00:09.039 could tell you that, man, this was as great as 1096 01:00:09.039 --> 01:00:10.920 there were other matches, But I'd be a fucking liar. 1097 01:00:11.800 --> 01:00:13.880 This went way too long and it was in the 1098 01:00:13.920 --> 01:00:17.400 exact wrong spot on this show. They did these women 1099 01:00:17.480 --> 01:00:20.639 no favors, and then from this, to prove my point, 1100 01:00:21.199 --> 01:00:24.320 we went into a fucking cage match immediately after this. 1101 01:00:26.400 --> 01:00:31.880 First though they showed Jelly Roll in the crowd, they 1102 01:00:31.880 --> 01:00:36.679 showed Metro Boomen, who was wearing over his shoulder an 1103 01:00:36.760 --> 01:00:43.400 old school WCW United States Championship replica. My man, I 1104 01:00:43.440 --> 01:00:46.880 always liked that title. I liked that title a lot. 1105 01:00:48.159 --> 01:00:51.679 And they showed Giants quarterback Russell Wilson with his kid 1106 01:00:51.920 --> 01:00:56.000 in the crowd, and then it was time the steel 1107 01:00:56.079 --> 01:00:59.719 cage match. This was the fifth cage match in Summer 1108 01:00:59.760 --> 01:01:02.239 Sligh history, and if you can believe it, the first 1109 01:01:02.239 --> 01:01:06.079 steel cage match in twenty four years. That's how far 1110 01:01:06.119 --> 01:01:08.920 back you'd have to go for just a traditional steel 1111 01:01:08.960 --> 01:01:12.440 cage match. Tonight it was Solo Soka defending the United 1112 01:01:12.440 --> 01:01:17.880 States Championship against Jacob Fatu, and I was thinking, you know, 1113 01:01:17.920 --> 01:01:20.800 they mentioned that this is the fifth one, and the 1114 01:01:21.039 --> 01:01:27.320 four previous cage matches Ultimate Warrior and Rick Rude nineteen 1115 01:01:27.440 --> 01:01:33.000 ninety Brett Hart and Owen Hart nineteen ninety four, Triple 1116 01:01:33.159 --> 01:01:37.360 H and Mankind nineteen ninety seven, and the last one 1117 01:01:37.400 --> 01:01:41.760 was two thousand and one Undertaker and Kin destroying DDP 1118 01:01:42.000 --> 01:01:44.920 and Canyon. That was the last time we had a 1119 01:01:44.920 --> 01:01:47.280 cage match on this show, not not helen a cell 1120 01:01:47.440 --> 01:01:51.239 or elimination chamber or anything like that. So you can 1121 01:01:51.320 --> 01:01:55.480 win this match by pinfall, submission, or escaping the cage. 1122 01:01:55.599 --> 01:01:59.280 Michael Cole tried to put over Solo Socoa tried being 1123 01:01:59.280 --> 01:02:03.039 the keyword here. He mentioned that Solo Socoa has not 1124 01:02:03.079 --> 01:02:08.800 been pinned since losing to Roman Reigns on the Netflix debut. Right, 1125 01:02:08.880 --> 01:02:12.719 that was the Was it tribal combat? I know it 1126 01:02:12.760 --> 01:02:14.360 was for the ula fall. I don't remember if it 1127 01:02:14.400 --> 01:02:18.039 was tribal combat. So he hasn't lost, or at least 1128 01:02:18.039 --> 01:02:21.360 not a singles match since then. And I checked on 1129 01:02:21.440 --> 01:02:24.800 this Solo Socoa has had something like three or four 1130 01:02:24.840 --> 01:02:30.400 wins in fifteen matches so far this year. So no 1131 01:02:30.440 --> 01:02:34.199 matter how hard they have, Michael Cole try on commentary, 1132 01:02:34.239 --> 01:02:36.400 you will never be able to convince me that Solo 1133 01:02:36.480 --> 01:02:39.159 Socoa is any kind of threat to be taken seriously 1134 01:02:39.199 --> 01:02:42.159 on this show. I don't give a shit how hard 1135 01:02:42.239 --> 01:02:45.039 you try. Look, I find him very entertain He's a 1136 01:02:45.079 --> 01:02:48.920 funny guy. He can be entertaining. But you will not 1137 01:02:49.119 --> 01:02:51.920 convince me that Solo Socoa is any kind of real 1138 01:02:51.960 --> 01:02:56.000 threat to Jacob Fatu or most anybody else on this show. 1139 01:02:58.079 --> 01:03:02.239 Solo used the cage as a weapon or early. Fatu 1140 01:03:02.320 --> 01:03:06.320 fought back, and when Solo tried driving him into the 1141 01:03:06.320 --> 01:03:09.519 cage again, Fatu no sold it. Jacob hit a running 1142 01:03:09.559 --> 01:03:13.920 hip attack and consecutive moon salts only got a near 1143 01:03:14.000 --> 01:03:17.840 fall out of it, and it didn't take long for 1144 01:03:18.000 --> 01:03:20.239 the MFTs to make their way out. There really is 1145 01:03:20.280 --> 01:03:22.920 nothing else to describe that these two did in this 1146 01:03:23.039 --> 01:03:26.599 match that was of any real note. Before Solo's crew 1147 01:03:28.039 --> 01:03:31.480 meandered their way down to the ring, we had j. C. Matteo, 1148 01:03:31.960 --> 01:03:35.880 we had the great Tonga Loa, and we had Tallatanga. 1149 01:03:36.079 --> 01:03:39.280 They make their way out and they're surrounding the ring. 1150 01:03:39.360 --> 01:03:43.719 Now we hear Jimmy USO's music and they're bracing for 1151 01:03:43.760 --> 01:03:46.800 his entrance. But he appears at ringside. He goes on 1152 01:03:46.840 --> 01:03:50.639 the attack until Talatanga drives him into the cage and 1153 01:03:50.679 --> 01:03:54.639 then tosses him over the announced desk. Now Fa Tu 1154 01:03:55.880 --> 01:04:00.360 had the chance here to escape the cage. He could 1155 01:04:00.360 --> 01:04:03.239 have won the United States Championship. He had the opportunity 1156 01:04:03.280 --> 01:04:06.920 to do so. He tells the referee to close the 1157 01:04:06.960 --> 01:04:13.280 door because it was all gas time. All he did 1158 01:04:13.360 --> 01:04:16.280 here was prove that Solo Socoa was correct when he 1159 01:04:16.320 --> 01:04:20.840 said all gas, no brains. He just proved him right, 1160 01:04:22.400 --> 01:04:24.800 often not to win the match. FA two turned around 1161 01:04:24.840 --> 01:04:26.880 and Solo hit him with a Samoan spike for a 1162 01:04:26.920 --> 01:04:31.239 near fall. So they followed the zip ties in the 1163 01:04:31.280 --> 01:04:35.679 previous match with handcuffs in this match, I was just like, 1164 01:04:36.480 --> 01:04:38.000 what are we gonna have in the match after this? 1165 01:04:38.079 --> 01:04:42.679 Perhaps we'll have some rope, maybe we'll have some duct tape, 1166 01:04:42.840 --> 01:04:45.039 what else? What else can we tie up people with? 1167 01:04:47.639 --> 01:04:52.039 So they they introduce handcuffs into the match. Tallatanga handcuffs 1168 01:04:52.119 --> 01:04:54.519 Jacob fought to to the top part of the cage. 1169 01:04:55.719 --> 01:04:58.440 Jac Matteo opened the door and it looks like Solo 1170 01:04:58.519 --> 01:05:00.719 Soco is going to crawl out of the cave. Fatu 1171 01:05:00.840 --> 01:05:03.760 manages to break free from the handcuffs. They showed a 1172 01:05:03.800 --> 01:05:05.760 replay of it. I don't even I still don't even 1173 01:05:05.800 --> 01:05:07.519 know what he did. He just basically went like this, 1174 01:05:08.239 --> 01:05:12.079 that was it, the shittiest handcuffs ever made. And he 1175 01:05:12.159 --> 01:05:14.960 jumps down and he stops Solo from escaping the cage. 1176 01:05:15.559 --> 01:05:18.880 So Fatu smashes the door into j. C. Matteo, but 1177 01:05:19.199 --> 01:05:23.280 Tallatanga smashes the door into Fatu's head and Solo Socoa 1178 01:05:23.360 --> 01:05:28.519 then slips out the door and he very casually falls 1179 01:05:28.599 --> 01:05:32.760 to the ground and wins. That's how he wins the 1180 01:05:32.800 --> 01:05:37.719 cage match. Wasn't that? Basically the outcome of the cage 1181 01:05:37.719 --> 01:05:41.760 match between Punk and Rollins and Madison Square Garden. A 1182 01:05:41.800 --> 01:05:45.239 few months ago, Roman Reins came out right, he came 1183 01:05:45.280 --> 01:05:47.679 back and he pulled Rollins out to the floor, Like, 1184 01:05:47.719 --> 01:05:51.440 what is what these cage match finishes? I mean, at 1185 01:05:51.519 --> 01:05:53.280 least there you have the return of Roman Reigns and 1186 01:05:53.280 --> 01:05:56.719 people went nuts for it. This this was I mean, 1187 01:05:56.760 --> 01:05:59.159 this was fucking awful. So he pulls him to the 1188 01:05:59.199 --> 01:06:02.239 floor and he retains the US Championship. After the match 1189 01:06:02.320 --> 01:06:04.800 is over, and after Solo and Tallatanga made their way 1190 01:06:05.039 --> 01:06:09.199 up the ramp, Jimmy super Kick j C. Matteo and 1191 01:06:09.239 --> 01:06:12.360 he threw him inside the cage with Fatu and Tongalo 1192 01:06:13.039 --> 01:06:15.960 and Fatu looks up and I told you this was 1193 01:06:15.960 --> 01:06:18.760 coming right. And when I did the preview and predictions, 1194 01:06:18.760 --> 01:06:22.199 I said, you know that Jacob Fatu is going to 1195 01:06:22.280 --> 01:06:24.519 go to the top of the cage. This was the 1196 01:06:24.679 --> 01:06:27.440 entire reason for doing this. He's going to go to 1197 01:06:27.480 --> 01:06:29.199 the top of the cage and he's going to do 1198 01:06:29.320 --> 01:06:32.480 his mighty moon salt. The match is over, but he 1199 01:06:32.519 --> 01:06:35.559 looks up and sure enough, he scales the cage and 1200 01:06:35.599 --> 01:06:37.480 he hits a moon salt off the top of the 1201 01:06:37.480 --> 01:06:44.039 cage onto both men and to be more accurate. Poor Tongaloa. 1202 01:06:44.519 --> 01:06:48.400 Tongaloa took like ninety five percent of this. He got 1203 01:06:48.440 --> 01:06:52.159 destroyed on the landing and he looked like he was 1204 01:06:52.199 --> 01:06:54.840 out of it as he was laying on the mat. Yeah, 1205 01:06:54.880 --> 01:06:58.000 I hated this. I hated this. It doesn't get any 1206 01:06:58.079 --> 01:07:00.360 lazier than the finish they gave you here, the way 1207 01:07:00.360 --> 01:07:04.320 they did it and everything and all the interference. Literally 1208 01:07:04.360 --> 01:07:09.079 the only reason, the only reason that they broke out 1209 01:07:09.119 --> 01:07:11.599 the cage for this was so that Jacob could do 1210 01:07:11.639 --> 01:07:14.719 the spot off the top. And it wasn't even during 1211 01:07:14.760 --> 01:07:17.840 the match, it was when the match was over, you 1212 01:07:17.960 --> 01:07:20.639 had the MFTs, you had all the interference, Like there's 1213 01:07:21.159 --> 01:07:23.679 there was literally no other point to this stupid match. 1214 01:07:25.119 --> 01:07:27.079 Like I'm just I'm so over it with all the 1215 01:07:27.119 --> 01:07:31.440 interference and bullshit in these in these cage matches and 1216 01:07:31.880 --> 01:07:35.320 as cage matches go. My other issue with this, it 1217 01:07:35.400 --> 01:07:39.039 was just a boring, terrible match. Jacob. I love Jacob, 1218 01:07:39.159 --> 01:07:42.519 Jacob is great. Jacob did what he could. The way 1219 01:07:42.559 --> 01:07:44.440 this match was laid out and what they did here 1220 01:07:44.480 --> 01:07:48.039 and with all the interference, it just made for an 1221 01:07:48.079 --> 01:07:55.079 awful match. The the mft's are such a laughably bad 1222 01:07:55.199 --> 01:08:00.119 faction that if it wasn't so boring, it might be funny, 1223 01:08:02.000 --> 01:08:06.039 but it's really no laughing matter. Like it's bad, it's 1224 01:08:06.079 --> 01:08:09.840 really bad. I don't really have anything else to say 1225 01:08:09.880 --> 01:08:13.360 about this. I think all of this is just so 1226 01:08:13.519 --> 01:08:16.960 played out, and I hope that sooner rather than later, 1227 01:08:17.880 --> 01:08:21.880 Jacob can be moved into something completely different and not 1228 01:08:21.960 --> 01:08:25.119 related to the bloodline. Like, I'm just over all of 1229 01:08:25.159 --> 01:08:30.399 these people, whether it's Jimmy or Solo or Jacob, and 1230 01:08:30.479 --> 01:08:33.000 it all kind of revolves around the bloodline. It all 1231 01:08:33.039 --> 01:08:37.039 revolves around the family. Right. They've milked that cow so 1232 01:08:37.239 --> 01:08:41.159 much over the last five years. There's a whole universe 1233 01:08:41.199 --> 01:08:45.600 out there, right, there's a whole WWE universe that these 1234 01:08:45.640 --> 01:08:49.680 guys could kind of branch out in. And Jacob in particular, 1235 01:08:49.880 --> 01:08:51.920 I await the day that he can move on to 1236 01:08:52.039 --> 01:08:55.640 something else. It's not that he's doing anything to help 1237 01:08:55.680 --> 01:08:58.640 lift this up. It's that him being involved in this. 1238 01:08:58.840 --> 01:09:02.560 The longer this goes dragging him down. I hope that 1239 01:09:02.680 --> 01:09:05.479 changes very soon. Whether he doesn't have to win the 1240 01:09:05.560 --> 01:09:09.079 US title, you know what, let's Solo have it. There's 1241 01:09:09.079 --> 01:09:13.840 bigger things in Jacob's future than the US title. We 1242 01:09:13.920 --> 01:09:17.840 got Aj Styles one on one with Dominic Mysterio for 1243 01:09:17.920 --> 01:09:22.239 the Intercontinental Championship. The announcers noted that it's been twenty 1244 01:09:22.359 --> 01:09:26.119 years since the custody of Dominic ladder match at SummerSlam 1245 01:09:26.159 --> 01:09:31.279 between Eddie Guerrero and Raymistereo. So Dom came out first 1246 01:09:31.399 --> 01:09:34.479 and then it was AJ's turn. Aj Styles comes out 1247 01:09:34.600 --> 01:09:38.399 in a lowrider and his son, one of his sons, 1248 01:09:38.520 --> 01:09:42.199 is riding Shotgun in the seat next to him. Aj 1249 01:09:42.399 --> 01:09:47.279 comes out. He's wearing old Eddie Garrero Latino Heat inspired gear. 1250 01:09:47.319 --> 01:09:48.680 I think they may have mentioned that it might have 1251 01:09:48.720 --> 01:09:51.560 been the same style gear he wore at SummerSlam twenty 1252 01:09:51.600 --> 01:09:55.119 years ago, but it was definitely gear in, you know, 1253 01:09:55.159 --> 01:09:57.039 the kind of the vein of what Eddie would wear 1254 01:09:57.840 --> 01:10:02.079 back in the day. Don was in control until Aj 1255 01:10:02.239 --> 01:10:05.920 hit a tornado. DDT. Styles held control until Dom ducked 1256 01:10:05.920 --> 01:10:10.520 a phenomenal forearm hit a Mitchiinoku driver. Stiles countered the 1257 01:10:10.600 --> 01:10:14.720 last supplex of the three amigos from Dom into the brainbuster. 1258 01:10:15.680 --> 01:10:19.399 Stiles went for a frog splash. Dom got the knees up. 1259 01:10:19.840 --> 01:10:22.479 Dom hit a six one nine. He went for a splash. 1260 01:10:22.560 --> 01:10:25.760 AJ caught him an applied to calf crusher and dom 1261 01:10:25.840 --> 01:10:28.680 got the rope brake. So Dominic ends up removing one 1262 01:10:28.680 --> 01:10:32.800 of the turnbuckle pads to distract the referee. As the 1263 01:10:32.840 --> 01:10:37.439 referee is fixing the pad, Dominic grabs a chair and 1264 01:10:37.520 --> 01:10:40.479 he's going to do the old Eddie Guerrero spot where 1265 01:10:40.520 --> 01:10:43.279 he smashes the mat and then he tosses the chair 1266 01:10:43.319 --> 01:10:45.560 to Aj and he drops to the mat and that's 1267 01:10:45.600 --> 01:10:48.720 what he does. But the referee was still busy fixing 1268 01:10:48.800 --> 01:10:51.439 the pad. Now Aj is standing there with the chair 1269 01:10:52.439 --> 01:10:54.720 and he's looking at the chair, and so what he 1270 01:10:54.800 --> 01:10:58.760 decides to do is he wraps the chair around his 1271 01:10:58.840 --> 01:11:02.199 own head and he acts like he was he's on 1272 01:11:02.239 --> 01:11:04.479 the ground and he's acting like he's dying. He's like 1273 01:11:04.520 --> 01:11:07.640 twitching around a little He's either like a little twitch 1274 01:11:08.159 --> 01:11:13.039 a little bit there. So the crowd enjoyed this. I 1275 01:11:13.119 --> 01:11:15.840 enjoyed this too. I had one issue with this though. 1276 01:11:16.720 --> 01:11:20.600 It made Aj Styles look like a geek because if 1277 01:11:20.640 --> 01:11:24.279 the referee turns around, which he did, the referee, if 1278 01:11:24.279 --> 01:11:27.279 he calls for a disqualification, Aj doesn't win the championship, 1279 01:11:28.439 --> 01:11:31.880 like he almost screwed himself out of the Intercontinental title. 1280 01:11:32.720 --> 01:11:35.279 But the referee did not call for the disqualification. The 1281 01:11:35.319 --> 01:11:37.600 match continued because the referee didn't know who the guilty 1282 01:11:37.640 --> 01:11:41.800 party was, so Styles applied to calf crusher Dom's boot, 1283 01:11:41.880 --> 01:11:44.880 though slipped off in the process. This was the spot 1284 01:11:44.920 --> 01:11:49.079 from WrestleMania twenty with Kurt Angle and Eddie Guerrero, and 1285 01:11:49.119 --> 01:11:52.119 when they showed replays later on, it showed that right 1286 01:11:52.159 --> 01:11:56.760 before this, Dom had I think unzipped or like loosened 1287 01:11:56.760 --> 01:12:01.479 the boot in some way on purpose, so the referee 1288 01:12:01.520 --> 01:12:04.439 almost got bumped, and while he was still kind of 1289 01:12:04.479 --> 01:12:08.520 distracted from the near bump, Dominic blasted Aj in the 1290 01:12:08.560 --> 01:12:10.720 head with the boot and then he followed with the 1291 01:12:10.720 --> 01:12:16.439 frog splash for the win to retain the championship. This 1292 01:12:16.600 --> 01:12:19.119 was one of the better matches of the night, and 1293 01:12:19.479 --> 01:12:21.880 I think it was a very clever spot. I liked 1294 01:12:21.920 --> 01:12:24.199 that they showed the replay of Dom loosening the boot, 1295 01:12:24.880 --> 01:12:27.159 so I did like that, and also it sets up 1296 01:12:27.159 --> 01:12:30.600 a rematch I would guess in Paris between these two 1297 01:12:32.239 --> 01:12:34.520 look if ever, there was a place for AJ to 1298 01:12:34.520 --> 01:12:38.039 win that championship. Remember the last time AJ was in 1299 01:12:38.119 --> 01:12:41.600 Paris last year with Cody Rhoads and Leon France and 1300 01:12:41.640 --> 01:12:45.000 the reaction that he got, I mean, the reactions to 1301 01:12:45.079 --> 01:12:48.720 that entire match. So now they're going back to France. 1302 01:12:49.199 --> 01:12:51.600 You got to get aj on the show. If you 1303 01:12:51.640 --> 01:12:53.319 were going to do a title change, it would feel 1304 01:12:53.359 --> 01:12:55.760 like that would be an appropriate place to do it. 1305 01:12:56.680 --> 01:12:58.880 So I hope they do, but I'm like, I'm looking 1306 01:12:58.920 --> 01:13:02.479 at this, I'm like, holy shit, with these fucking finishes, 1307 01:13:04.039 --> 01:13:07.920 Naomi and the opener, the Heel goes over the Wyatt six, 1308 01:13:07.960 --> 01:13:09.520 I don't know what the fuck they're supposed to be. 1309 01:13:09.600 --> 01:13:12.800 But they retain their titles up and down the line. 1310 01:13:12.920 --> 01:13:18.840 Becky retains, Solo retains, Dominic retains, And you talk about 1311 01:13:18.880 --> 01:13:22.560 a night of depressing finishes here, this was not a 1312 01:13:22.760 --> 01:13:25.079 This was not a very uh you know, kind of 1313 01:13:25.159 --> 01:13:28.359 happy happy night here. And it's one thing for the 1314 01:13:28.359 --> 01:13:30.359 Heels to go over. But like some of these finishes, 1315 01:13:30.399 --> 01:13:32.319 especially the cage match, I'm like, this is fucking the 1316 01:13:32.359 --> 01:13:34.880 lame as shit. I'm like, who the hell booked all 1317 01:13:34.880 --> 01:13:38.079 these finishes like this on this show? What is going 1318 01:13:38.119 --> 01:13:45.600 on here? So after this, they introduced I want to 1319 01:13:45.640 --> 01:13:48.119 I want to tell you exactly how they introduced her. 1320 01:13:48.800 --> 01:13:58.560 They introduced w W E Icon Stephanie McMahon good Lord. 1321 01:13:59.039 --> 01:14:04.319 So she was there to announce tonight's attendance sixty thousand, 1322 01:14:04.800 --> 01:14:08.359 five hundred and sixty one, which when you combine it 1323 01:14:08.399 --> 01:14:12.199 with the fifty three thousand plus that were supposedly there 1324 01:14:12.279 --> 01:14:15.680 last night for Night one, means that it is a 1325 01:14:15.720 --> 01:14:18.720 two night total of one hundred and thirteen thousand, seven 1326 01:14:18.800 --> 01:14:22.600 hundred and twenty two fans. As I said earlier, if 1327 01:14:22.640 --> 01:14:26.880 you were wondering two night shows, they ain't going nowhere. 1328 01:14:26.880 --> 01:14:28.800 In fact, it's only a matter of time before we 1329 01:14:28.840 --> 01:14:32.279 get two night Royal Rumbles. It's coming. You're gonna get 1330 01:14:32.279 --> 01:14:34.079 one rumble on one night, you're gonna get the other 1331 01:14:34.159 --> 01:14:40.000 rumble on the other. It won't be next year, but 1332 01:14:40.079 --> 01:14:42.279 I think starting in twenty twenty seven, that's exactly what 1333 01:14:42.319 --> 01:14:47.560 you're gonna get. And then it was main event time 1334 01:14:48.960 --> 01:14:53.920 with John Cena defending the WWE Championship against the King 1335 01:14:54.039 --> 01:14:57.000 of the Ring. Didn't work out for the Queen of 1336 01:14:57.039 --> 01:14:59.319 the Ring last night, but now it was the King 1337 01:14:59.359 --> 01:15:03.239 of the Ring Cody Rhodes, and this was a street 1338 01:15:03.239 --> 01:15:07.000 fight pinfall or submission only, that's the only way to 1339 01:15:07.039 --> 01:15:11.840 win this match. Cody entered after they played some portions 1340 01:15:11.880 --> 01:15:16.199 of an old Dusty Rhodes promo from WCW, and I 1341 01:15:16.239 --> 01:15:19.439 believe they may have spliced. People were wondering, like, oh, 1342 01:15:19.479 --> 01:15:22.239 did they AI Dusty? They didn't AI Dusty. I think 1343 01:15:22.279 --> 01:15:24.560 even Biggie said this when the show was over on 1344 01:15:24.600 --> 01:15:27.399 the post show. It wasn't AI. What they did was 1345 01:15:27.439 --> 01:15:31.359 they took different clips of Dusty promos and they kind of, 1346 01:15:32.079 --> 01:15:36.920 you know, pieced them together, but in particular and this 1347 01:15:37.000 --> 01:15:39.840 is actually one of my favorite Dusty promos. It's just 1348 01:15:39.920 --> 01:15:43.960 it's a tremendous promo from WCW. The view never changes. 1349 01:15:45.039 --> 01:15:49.239 The view never changes. Baby. There's a great segment I 1350 01:15:49.279 --> 01:15:51.720 want to say. It was on WCW Saturday Night. It's 1351 01:15:51.760 --> 01:15:56.159 like a ninety four where Dusty reunited with his son Dustin. 1352 01:15:56.640 --> 01:15:59.039 I think he needed him to be as either Dustin 1353 01:15:59.119 --> 01:16:01.199 needed him to be his tag team partner or Dusty 1354 01:16:01.239 --> 01:16:03.600 wanted Dustin to be his tag team partner, and he 1355 01:16:03.720 --> 01:16:05.560 just they're in the ring together and he's cutting this 1356 01:16:05.600 --> 01:16:08.399 promo and it gets very emotional and they hug and 1357 01:16:08.439 --> 01:16:11.880 everybody cheat. It's such a great segment. But yeah, the 1358 01:16:11.960 --> 01:16:15.520 view never changes, so you kind of see it. It's 1359 01:16:15.560 --> 01:16:19.600 written on the screens. And you hear Dusty's voice, and 1360 01:16:19.680 --> 01:16:23.079 then Cody rises up through this elevator platform in the 1361 01:16:23.119 --> 01:16:26.159 stage and he's wearing a gold version of the skull 1362 01:16:26.239 --> 01:16:29.680 mask that he wore at WrestleMania. So this was awesome. Like, 1363 01:16:29.840 --> 01:16:34.439 as far as entrances go, this was awesome. So John 1364 01:16:34.479 --> 01:16:38.359 Cena entered next. Now, remember what happened on Friday, right, 1365 01:16:38.520 --> 01:16:40.720 Sina said, I want to thank you for waking my 1366 01:16:40.800 --> 01:16:44.439 ass up and realizing the error of my ways. And basically, 1367 01:16:44.520 --> 01:16:47.439 the old John Cena is back. And so you would 1368 01:16:47.439 --> 01:16:49.960 think that we would get the old John Cena entrance here. 1369 01:16:50.239 --> 01:16:52.479 At first, the screens were all black and it had 1370 01:16:52.479 --> 01:16:56.000 the very basic light of white lettering that just said 1371 01:16:56.079 --> 01:16:59.359 John Cena. But once the song kicked in, we got 1372 01:16:59.359 --> 01:17:03.520 the bright cut, we got the Scena logo. Scena comes out, 1373 01:17:03.680 --> 01:17:07.039 he's got the belt front facing right the right way. 1374 01:17:07.520 --> 01:17:10.880 He's going nuts. He's talking to stew the cameraman, and 1375 01:17:10.920 --> 01:17:13.279 I'm still not convinced. I'm watching this, and I'm like, man, 1376 01:17:14.079 --> 01:17:18.479 this just feels something feels off here. I'm not convinced 1377 01:17:18.520 --> 01:17:20.760 that this man is back to being a babyface just yet. 1378 01:17:22.079 --> 01:17:24.680 But he comes down to the ring and he does 1379 01:17:24.720 --> 01:17:27.159 his sprint down to the ring, he doesn't do the 1380 01:17:27.159 --> 01:17:30.920 slow walk, and the fans are going nuts, and Cody 1381 01:17:31.000 --> 01:17:35.880 got a very mixed reaction, more heavily boozed than cheers 1382 01:17:35.920 --> 01:17:39.239 when they did the inn ring introductions. When Alicia Taylor 1383 01:17:39.239 --> 01:17:42.600 did the introduction for John Cena, everybody went nuts and 1384 01:17:43.119 --> 01:17:47.119 he just couldn't help himself but smirk when she called 1385 01:17:47.199 --> 01:17:51.159 him the greatest of all time. Michael Cole actually said 1386 01:17:51.159 --> 01:17:54.239 that Cody and John Cena were two of the final 1387 01:17:54.359 --> 01:17:57.239 three in the Royal Rumble, and I'm sitting here and 1388 01:17:57.279 --> 01:18:02.800 I'm like, uh, I don't believe that's the case. I 1389 01:18:02.840 --> 01:18:06.279 have no idea what he's talking about. In fact, Cody 1390 01:18:06.359 --> 01:18:09.800 Rhodes wasn't even in the Royal Rumble this year, so 1391 01:18:09.920 --> 01:18:12.119 I don't know what the fuck Michael Cole was talking about. 1392 01:18:13.079 --> 01:18:15.359 But they were definitely not the final two or two 1393 01:18:15.439 --> 01:18:18.680 of the final three in the Rumble. The final three 1394 01:18:18.760 --> 01:18:22.399 in the Rumble this year was Sena, Jay Usso, and 1395 01:18:22.680 --> 01:18:26.960 Logan Paul. I believe right, Yeah, Cody wrestled Kevin Owens. 1396 01:18:26.960 --> 01:18:28.840 I have no idea what Michael Cole was talking about. 1397 01:18:30.079 --> 01:18:35.800 So Sena hugged Cody and then the slugfest began, and 1398 01:18:36.359 --> 01:18:39.000 you know, coming into this match, my expectations were very 1399 01:18:39.039 --> 01:18:43.239 low because, as I said many times, that WrestleMania made 1400 01:18:43.239 --> 01:18:46.640 event this year on Night two was a huge disappointment. 1401 01:18:47.560 --> 01:18:50.880 And Sina went in their Backlash with Randy Orton and 1402 01:18:50.920 --> 01:18:53.159 they had a very good match. Sina went in there 1403 01:18:53.199 --> 01:18:55.840 at Night of Champions with Cmpunk and they had a 1404 01:18:55.920 --> 01:18:59.159 very good match with the right people. I feel like 1405 01:18:59.199 --> 01:19:02.359 they can bring some thing out of him, but he 1406 01:19:02.439 --> 01:19:05.600 and Cody and just the way the match was laid out, whatever, 1407 01:19:05.640 --> 01:19:08.920 it was just that mass shit the bed. As far 1408 01:19:08.920 --> 01:19:13.600 as WrestleMania made events go, John Cena has a ceiling 1409 01:19:13.680 --> 01:19:16.079 for what he is able to physically give. At this 1410 01:19:16.199 --> 01:19:19.520 point in his career. He just physically can't do it anymore. 1411 01:19:19.520 --> 01:19:23.399 That's why he's retiring. Like he has said this himself, 1412 01:19:23.760 --> 01:19:28.039 I cannot do this anymore. So I kept my expectations 1413 01:19:28.119 --> 01:19:31.479 very low for this. And what we saw here was 1414 01:19:31.520 --> 01:19:34.039 it wasn't just the return of the old John Cena character, 1415 01:19:34.439 --> 01:19:37.560 Like we got flashes in this match of the old 1416 01:19:37.960 --> 01:19:42.000 John Cena. So they start slugging it out, they end 1417 01:19:42.079 --> 01:19:46.520 up outside. Sena got sent into the Steel Steps came back. 1418 01:19:46.840 --> 01:19:50.119 Sena walked over to Tyrese Haliburton in the front row. 1419 01:19:50.239 --> 01:19:53.279 He did the you can't see me gesture, and he 1420 01:19:53.319 --> 01:19:56.399 grabbed one of Halliburton's crutches and he used it as 1421 01:19:56.399 --> 01:20:00.560 a weapon on Cody. Cody was getting noticeable loose here 1422 01:20:01.640 --> 01:20:04.119 because people were very happy to see, you know, baby 1423 01:20:04.159 --> 01:20:07.239 face John Cena back. So in the ring, Sena lifted 1424 01:20:07.279 --> 01:20:10.079 the ring steps over his head and he threw them 1425 01:20:10.079 --> 01:20:13.960 at Cody and he hit him with him. So both 1426 01:20:14.000 --> 01:20:16.880 men went to ringside. They came back in with chairs. 1427 01:20:17.079 --> 01:20:19.960 They slammed the chairs together and then both men dropped them. 1428 01:20:19.960 --> 01:20:23.000 Cody kicked one chair to the floor and he picked 1429 01:20:23.039 --> 01:20:26.079 up the other and he slammed it across seen his back. 1430 01:20:26.960 --> 01:20:29.920 Cody wedged the chair in the corner. Seena reversed a whip. 1431 01:20:30.079 --> 01:20:32.680 He sent Cody crashing into the chair. Seen it. Put 1432 01:20:32.680 --> 01:20:35.159 Cody down with a shoulder block, and then another one 1433 01:20:35.920 --> 01:20:39.239 slammed him down to the mat. Then came the five 1434 01:20:39.319 --> 01:20:44.720 knuckle shuffle. So we're going to old school here. So 1435 01:20:44.760 --> 01:20:48.560 the five knuckle shuffle connects and Seena hoists up Cody, 1436 01:20:49.239 --> 01:20:52.720 who slips out, clothes lines him. Cody threw some punches. 1437 01:20:52.760 --> 01:20:56.199 He threw a bionic elbow. People are booing this. He 1438 01:20:56.239 --> 01:20:58.479 connects with a Cody cutter that led to a near fall. 1439 01:20:59.640 --> 01:21:04.640 Then Scena came back with an attitude adjustment. Cody kicks out. 1440 01:21:04.840 --> 01:21:07.039 Cody came back with a moon salt off the top, 1441 01:21:07.279 --> 01:21:10.479 only for a near fall. Cody drops Sena on his 1442 01:21:10.560 --> 01:21:13.560 head at this point with a pile driver. Now we're 1443 01:21:13.600 --> 01:21:16.880 going back to like punk and scene to twenty thirteen. Here, 1444 01:21:18.119 --> 01:21:20.880 you don't get to see this very often. Hits him 1445 01:21:20.880 --> 01:21:23.960 with a pile driver, only got a two count out 1446 01:21:23.960 --> 01:21:27.800 of it. So now the referee in this match, Dan Engler, 1447 01:21:29.039 --> 01:21:31.800 is checking on Sena and Cody is backing off and 1448 01:21:31.880 --> 01:21:35.119 because he's telling him go check on him, and Cody 1449 01:21:35.199 --> 01:21:38.119 is looking very frustrated. So eventually he goes over to 1450 01:21:38.159 --> 01:21:40.520 grabs Sena to pick him up. Sina, they'll hoist him up, 1451 01:21:40.600 --> 01:21:43.000 and he drops him with another AA and now we 1452 01:21:43.039 --> 01:21:44.920 have a double down. Okay, both men are flat on 1453 01:21:44.960 --> 01:21:47.520 their back. Once they got back up, Cody hit a 1454 01:21:47.560 --> 01:21:51.920 pop up power bomb. Scena, though transitioned into an STF 1455 01:21:52.199 --> 01:21:55.000 and Cody dragged himself to the ropes. But there's no 1456 01:21:55.119 --> 01:21:57.880 rope brakes, right, what are you gonna do. You're gonna 1457 01:21:57.880 --> 01:22:00.479 call for the disqualification. There's no rope breaks in a 1458 01:22:00.479 --> 01:22:03.560 street fight. And Cody keeps crawling to the point where 1459 01:22:03.600 --> 01:22:07.359 Sena his throat is up against the rope and he's choking, 1460 01:22:08.199 --> 01:22:12.159 and so finally he releases the hold. At this point, 1461 01:22:12.720 --> 01:22:16.880 Cody reversed outside the ring. Cody reversed him over the 1462 01:22:16.920 --> 01:22:20.399 barricade into the timekeeper's area. Seena came back with a 1463 01:22:20.439 --> 01:22:24.479 microphone shot to the head, made a great sound. And 1464 01:22:24.479 --> 01:22:29.359 then John Cena hits a fucking code red on the 1465 01:22:29.479 --> 01:22:33.920 floor that we've seen like Dustin Rhodes, you know, turn 1466 01:22:34.000 --> 01:22:37.239 back the hands of time, and he's always doing moves 1467 01:22:37.279 --> 01:22:39.920 like that and all of his matches. Now, it's been 1468 01:22:39.960 --> 01:22:43.119 a while since I've seen John Cena hit a code red, 1469 01:22:44.079 --> 01:22:45.560 and it reminds me. You know, we went through this 1470 01:22:45.600 --> 01:22:49.319 phase many many years ago where John Sena was trying 1471 01:22:49.319 --> 01:22:51.319 to show people that hey, I know more than just 1472 01:22:51.359 --> 01:22:54.439 five moves of doom. Right, he would bust out this 1473 01:22:54.520 --> 01:22:56.680 new move that we had never seen him do before. 1474 01:22:56.920 --> 01:23:00.000 He was doing standing her at caranas and people were 1475 01:23:00.119 --> 01:23:03.039 like losing their minds. And then for a while there 1476 01:23:03.079 --> 01:23:06.720 he was doing a springboard cutter, right, that look I 1477 01:23:06.720 --> 01:23:08.960 think awful. I think that was what the move was. 1478 01:23:09.520 --> 01:23:10.840 But it was like, all right, you know what, at 1479 01:23:10.920 --> 01:23:13.720 least he's trying new things. So now here at his 1480 01:23:13.800 --> 01:23:17.000 retirement year, we have John Seena trying something a little 1481 01:23:17.000 --> 01:23:19.159 bit different and hitting a Code red on the floor 1482 01:23:19.199 --> 01:23:21.359 and it looked great and he had a big smile 1483 01:23:21.439 --> 01:23:23.840 on his face after he hit it. The amazing Red 1484 01:23:23.840 --> 01:23:28.479 would be proud. Today's episode is sponsored by Hymns.

Lord knows, I'm shocked the Mets haven't 1491 01:23:46.399 --> 01:23:49.000 caused my hair to fall out entirely over the years. 1492 01:23:49.800 --> 01:23:52.800 But seriously, it's okay.

So Sena then brought 1522 01:25:27.960 --> 01:25:31.319 Cody up on the English announced desk and he delivered 1523 01:25:31.319 --> 01:25:34.600 an attitude adjustment to him through this Spanish announced table. 1524 01:25:35.439 --> 01:25:39.600 And yes, the Spanish announced table did infect break. As 1525 01:25:39.640 --> 01:25:43.359 indestructible as these tables are, it did break. So Sena 1526 01:25:43.439 --> 01:25:45.640 dragged Cody back into the ring. Cody, though, ended up 1527 01:25:45.640 --> 01:25:50.520 getting him in position and he hit crossroads and he 1528 01:25:50.880 --> 01:25:54.039 nearly had him, but Sena kicked out it too. Cody 1529 01:25:54.079 --> 01:25:56.880 then brought him to the ropes. He attempted a superplex. 1530 01:25:57.439 --> 01:26:00.399 Sena those shoved him back to the mat and seen it. 1531 01:26:00.399 --> 01:26:02.520 Came flying off with one of his old moves. And 1532 01:26:02.560 --> 01:26:04.640 again I don't know that we've seen him do this 1533 01:26:04.680 --> 01:26:07.720 since he came back. He does the leaping leg drop, 1534 01:26:07.760 --> 01:26:12.279 the leaping leg slice off the top rope, so he 1535 01:26:12.359 --> 01:26:14.800 connects on that he goes flying through the air right 1536 01:26:14.840 --> 01:26:17.680 to the back of Cody's neck and then another attitude 1537 01:26:17.680 --> 01:26:22.560 adjustment follows. Scena covers, Cody kicks out. That's something else 1538 01:26:22.600 --> 01:26:24.640 I was expecting in this match. I knew we were 1539 01:26:24.680 --> 01:26:26.520 gonna have a lot of finisher spam and a lot 1540 01:26:26.520 --> 01:26:29.760 of kickouts. That's something that has peppered most of the 1541 01:26:29.840 --> 01:26:32.439 John Cena matches in this I mean, Pepper's a lot 1542 01:26:32.479 --> 01:26:36.560 of other matches in wrestling today too, but Sina more 1543 01:26:36.600 --> 01:26:39.560 than most, relies a lot on that. Like when him 1544 01:26:39.600 --> 01:26:43.479 and rock wrestled, especially their rematch of WrestleMania at MetLife. 1545 01:26:44.159 --> 01:26:46.479 That's all that match was. That's why I fucking hate 1546 01:26:46.479 --> 01:26:51.239 that match. That match degenerated into nothing but attitude adjustment 1547 01:26:51.319 --> 01:26:54.800 rock Bottom rock Bottom, attitude adjustment, attitude, like over and 1548 01:26:54.840 --> 01:26:57.760 over and over, where it's like this is like what 1549 01:26:57.920 --> 01:27:00.520 is this? So you do ten to see a lot 1550 01:27:00.560 --> 01:27:03.399 of that in the Scena matches, but it worked here. 1551 01:27:03.840 --> 01:27:06.800 You know again, people genuinely wanted to see Sina win 1552 01:27:07.239 --> 01:27:09.439 because they were happy to see him back as a babyface. 1553 01:27:09.880 --> 01:27:13.199 I was happy because midway through this match, I'm like, fuck, 1554 01:27:13.680 --> 01:27:16.960 they would have to severely fuck this finish shop for 1555 01:27:17.039 --> 01:27:20.239 this to not be better than their WrestleMania match. Like 1556 01:27:20.319 --> 01:27:23.279 midway through, I already said this is ten times the 1557 01:27:23.359 --> 01:27:27.079 match that they had a WrestleMania. It had already exceeded 1558 01:27:27.199 --> 01:27:31.399 the match they had a WRESTLEMANI Sina went under the 1559 01:27:31.479 --> 01:27:37.840 ring and he pulls out a slim gym table and 1560 01:27:37.880 --> 01:27:41.000 he slides it inside. He sets the table up, he 1561 01:27:41.039 --> 01:27:45.319 measures Cody for another attitude adjustment. Cody wisely pushes the 1562 01:27:45.359 --> 01:27:48.159 table over and then he drops Sena with the DDT. 1563 01:27:48.920 --> 01:27:51.279 Sina then propped up the table in one of the corners, 1564 01:27:51.640 --> 01:27:54.439 but they ended up outside. Cody tossed him over the barricade, 1565 01:27:54.479 --> 01:27:57.479 and now they're fighting deep into the crowd. Here it 1566 01:27:57.560 --> 01:28:05.239 met life a grenade. Uh, it's a street fight. Hey, 1567 01:28:06.520 --> 01:28:09.800 it's legal. Nobody said you can't do it. I was 1568 01:28:09.800 --> 01:28:11.960 gonna say garbage. I don't know why that auto corrected 1569 01:28:12.039 --> 01:28:17.000 to fucking grenade. Actually I like that idea. Better forget 1570 01:28:17.039 --> 01:28:21.279 forget the garbage. Can Uh. Cody tossed a grenade, yes 1571 01:28:21.439 --> 01:28:25.119 at John Cena. Scena caught it though and just tossed 1572 01:28:25.119 --> 01:28:29.199 it aside. So they fought further in the crowd. No less, 1573 01:28:29.199 --> 01:28:32.279 how awful is that? I mean, it's one thing to 1574 01:28:32.279 --> 01:28:34.119 throw a grenade at somebody, but in the middle of 1575 01:28:34.119 --> 01:28:36.439 the crowd here at MetLife Stadium, that would have been awful. 1576 01:28:38.359 --> 01:28:43.760 That would have been terrible, fucking bodies everywhere. So they 1577 01:28:43.800 --> 01:28:46.680 fight further into the crowd. Sena hits him with a 1578 01:28:46.720 --> 01:28:50.439 guardrail and then a second time hits him with the guardrail. 1579 01:28:50.760 --> 01:28:53.760 Scena then props the guardrail, the piece of guardrail up 1580 01:28:53.800 --> 01:28:58.840 against a metal barrier, and Cody ends up suplexing Sena 1581 01:28:59.319 --> 01:29:03.680 onto the steel. So now both met are down. Then 1582 01:29:04.479 --> 01:29:08.439 at this point they fight underneath the stage. Right there's 1583 01:29:08.439 --> 01:29:12.159 some curtains and they go underneath the stage and we 1584 01:29:12.239 --> 01:29:16.000 can't see them now, and they're missing for about probably 1585 01:29:16.000 --> 01:29:19.239 twenty seconds, right twenty thirty seconds, they just disappear. We 1586 01:29:19.279 --> 01:29:21.680 don't know where they are. All of a sudden, that 1587 01:29:21.720 --> 01:29:25.319 little elevator lift right that Cody used for his entrance, 1588 01:29:25.399 --> 01:29:26.720 right in the middle of the stage, you see the 1589 01:29:26.720 --> 01:29:29.439 outline for the door. All of a sudden it starts 1590 01:29:29.439 --> 01:29:33.000 to rise back up, and there's smoke coming out. And 1591 01:29:33.079 --> 01:29:35.640 as it's through the smoke in the fog. As it's 1592 01:29:35.720 --> 01:29:39.479 rising back up, you see John Cena standing there and 1593 01:29:39.520 --> 01:29:44.199 he's got Cody's lifeless body basically on his shoulders as 1594 01:29:44.199 --> 01:29:48.520 he emerges. Scena then dumps him down hard on the 1595 01:29:48.600 --> 01:29:52.239 ramp with an attitude adjustment. So Cody is laying there motionless, 1596 01:29:52.600 --> 01:29:55.600 and Scena thought about dragging him, but it's a long 1597 01:29:55.680 --> 01:29:59.359 way back down to the ring, so he opts not 1598 01:29:59.439 --> 01:30:02.359 to do that, and instead he lifts Cody back up 1599 01:30:02.399 --> 01:30:05.119 onto his shoulders. He walks with him back down to 1600 01:30:05.119 --> 01:30:08.079 the ring. Once they get back inside, though, Cody throws 1601 01:30:08.079 --> 01:30:11.000 Scena through the table that was propped up earlier in 1602 01:30:11.079 --> 01:30:13.520 the corner. Then he picks him up and he hits 1603 01:30:13.520 --> 01:30:18.399 another crossroads and he hooks the leg and Seena kicks out, 1604 01:30:18.840 --> 01:30:23.600 and everybody goes nuts for this. So Sena lowbridges Cody 1605 01:30:23.720 --> 01:30:26.680 out to the floor, but then Cody grabs a chair 1606 01:30:26.920 --> 01:30:29.039 and he blasts Sena right in the head with it 1607 01:30:29.079 --> 01:30:32.600 when he was over by the ropes. Cody then starts loose. 1608 01:30:32.760 --> 01:30:35.800 He looks over like he's desperate, right, And he looks 1609 01:30:35.840 --> 01:30:38.399 over and he walks over to the bottom rope and 1610 01:30:38.479 --> 01:30:44.079 he starts to loosen the turnbuckle beam so that metal 1611 01:30:44.079 --> 01:30:47.880 beam that connects from the post into the rope. He's 1612 01:30:47.920 --> 01:30:50.600 loosening it, loosening it, and so the bottom rope falls 1613 01:30:50.640 --> 01:30:53.479 off and he gets back into the ring and he 1614 01:30:53.520 --> 01:30:55.800 grabs a hold of that steel beam. It still has 1615 01:30:55.880 --> 01:30:59.439 the ring rope attached to it, and he nails Seena 1616 01:30:59.439 --> 01:31:01.359 in the head with it, and the fans are booing. 1617 01:31:02.199 --> 01:31:05.880 They're booing Cody Rhodes, and they really were making you 1618 01:31:05.960 --> 01:31:08.239 think that maybe they are going to turn Cody. Maybe 1619 01:31:08.319 --> 01:31:12.239 Cody is going to go heal tonight. So they're booing him. 1620 01:31:12.319 --> 01:31:15.479 Cody tells him to get up. Sena is just laying there, 1621 01:31:16.279 --> 01:31:18.359 but when he gets back up, Cody hits him again, 1622 01:31:19.439 --> 01:31:23.439 and again the fans boo. So Cody is begging the referees, 1623 01:31:23.479 --> 01:31:25.920 begging Dan Engler just check on him, you know, go 1624 01:31:26.279 --> 01:31:28.159 check on them. Maybe he's done. Go go check on 1625 01:31:28.199 --> 01:31:31.600 this guy, right like he's having pity on him. So 1626 01:31:31.640 --> 01:31:34.000 when Sena gets up, Cody goes for a third shot 1627 01:31:34.039 --> 01:31:36.880 with the beam. Sena, though, got to drop toe hold 1628 01:31:37.399 --> 01:31:40.920 and he used the bottom rope to choke Sena in 1629 01:31:41.000 --> 01:31:44.520 an STF. So now we're kind of going back to 1630 01:31:44.560 --> 01:31:47.800 the Royal Rumble right in two thousand and seven, when 1631 01:31:48.039 --> 01:31:51.520 John Sena had the last man Standing match with Umaga. Now, 1632 01:31:51.520 --> 01:31:55.600 this was not exactly the same. I mean, when John 1633 01:31:55.640 --> 01:31:58.119 Cena was choking Umaga with the bottom rope at the 1634 01:31:58.199 --> 01:32:01.439 Royal Rumble, Umaga legitimately passed out at the end of 1635 01:32:01.439 --> 01:32:04.439 that match. Sena did not realize the force with which 1636 01:32:04.439 --> 01:32:07.319 he was pulling back on that rope and he couldn't breathe, 1637 01:32:07.399 --> 01:32:11.439 and he passed out legit because and Sena back then, 1638 01:32:12.319 --> 01:32:15.880 even the STFs, when he was doing the STFU, Sena 1639 01:32:15.960 --> 01:32:18.640 would wrench back on that hold. I think Edge had 1640 01:32:18.640 --> 01:32:21.960 this issue in their TLC match in two thousand and six, 1641 01:32:22.000 --> 01:32:24.880 where after a while they had to talk to Sena 1642 01:32:24.920 --> 01:32:26.960 and say, look, you're you're fucking killing these guys like 1643 01:32:27.000 --> 01:32:29.199 they can't breathe, Like you got to loosen it up. 1644 01:32:29.520 --> 01:32:31.560 And the problem is he loosened it up so much 1645 01:32:31.600 --> 01:32:33.720 that for the rest of his career, his STFs looked 1646 01:32:33.760 --> 01:32:36.720 like shit. Like even Steve Austin would call him out 1647 01:32:36.760 --> 01:32:38.520 for it and say, hey, tighten your shit up, kid, 1648 01:32:39.279 --> 01:32:42.920 but he never did. It always looked like crap. It's 1649 01:32:42.960 --> 01:32:45.520 like he goes from one extreme to the other. So 1650 01:32:45.720 --> 01:32:49.359 he wasn't really wrenching back too hard on Cody here, 1651 01:32:49.399 --> 01:32:51.319 but this was kind of a callback, I think, to 1652 01:32:51.439 --> 01:32:54.159 what you know, intentionally or otherwise. This was kind of 1653 01:32:54.159 --> 01:32:57.079 a callback to that spot from the rumble. Cody quickly 1654 01:32:57.119 --> 01:33:00.239 reversed that of it. He used the rope almost in 1655 01:33:00.279 --> 01:33:03.920 like an Anacon device. Seen it quickly worked back up 1656 01:33:03.920 --> 01:33:10.239 to his feet, hits an attitude adjustment, but no, no crossroads. 1657 01:33:10.920 --> 01:33:15.720 But he holds on a second crossroads. And then Cody 1658 01:33:15.760 --> 01:33:20.439 holds on yet again and hits a third crossroads, and 1659 01:33:20.479 --> 01:33:24.279 you're thinking, that's it. He just hit his finish three times. 1660 01:33:24.479 --> 01:33:27.720 That's how he beat Roman Reigns last year at WrestleMania 1661 01:33:27.920 --> 01:33:31.680 with the trifecta covers John Cena. John Cena kicks out, 1662 01:33:32.520 --> 01:33:36.000 and now the fans are going crazy. They can't believe it. 1663 01:33:36.600 --> 01:33:42.960 Cody can't believe it. The fans actually begin chanting super Sena. 1664 01:33:43.239 --> 01:33:46.199 This is a chant that would have been unimaginable fifteen 1665 01:33:46.279 --> 01:33:50.680 years ago. Okay, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen years ago. They are 1666 01:33:50.840 --> 01:33:54.960 chanting for Supersina. They hated Supersena back then. Now they're 1667 01:33:55.039 --> 01:33:59.760 chanting for it. Cody goes outside. The podium is right 1668 01:33:59.840 --> 01:34:02.760 there with the title sitting on it, and he grabs 1669 01:34:02.760 --> 01:34:06.399 the WWE championship brings it back inside with him. Cody 1670 01:34:06.479 --> 01:34:08.319 was not about to flint shift or what happened to 1671 01:34:08.359 --> 01:34:11.760 him at WrestleMania, because he flinched and he got fucked 1672 01:34:12.239 --> 01:34:15.000 and he lost his title. That's when Sena kicked him 1673 01:34:15.000 --> 01:34:16.199 in the dick and hit him in the head with 1674 01:34:16.239 --> 01:34:18.079 the belt. And he's not gonna let that happen again. 1675 01:34:18.359 --> 01:34:20.199 He's going to give John Cena a taste of his 1676 01:34:20.199 --> 01:34:22.760 own medicine. So he's in the ring and he has 1677 01:34:22.800 --> 01:34:25.399 the championship and he goes to hit Sena with it Sina, 1678 01:34:25.439 --> 01:34:28.479 though instead hits an attitude adjustment, and then he hits 1679 01:34:28.479 --> 01:34:31.479 another attitude adjustment, and then he picks up the title 1680 01:34:32.119 --> 01:34:33.800 like he's gonna use it, which is what he's been 1681 01:34:33.800 --> 01:34:37.680 doing this entire run, and he throws it down because 1682 01:34:37.720 --> 01:34:40.640 now he's good guy John Cena again, right, So he 1683 01:34:40.680 --> 01:34:42.479 throws the title down. He's not going to use it. 1684 01:34:42.800 --> 01:34:45.680 He places Cody on the top rope and he climbs 1685 01:34:45.760 --> 01:34:49.640 up and he gets Cody on his shoulders and he 1686 01:34:49.720 --> 01:34:54.680 delivers an avalanche attitude adjustment all the way from the 1687 01:34:54.680 --> 01:35:01.199 top covers him and Cody kicks out everybody who's losing 1688 01:35:01.239 --> 01:35:05.640 their minds. Dan by the way, Dan Engler, he was 1689 01:35:05.720 --> 01:35:11.199 going for those old Earl Hebner counts here. He was 1690 01:35:11.239 --> 01:35:14.319 taking his sweet time with these three counts. He's going 1691 01:35:14.359 --> 01:35:18.119 the dramatic kind of slow counts that Early used to do. 1692 01:35:19.079 --> 01:35:21.920 He was doing that here for the added dramatic effect. 1693 01:35:23.079 --> 01:35:26.479 Seena goes back outside and he pulls out another slim 1694 01:35:26.520 --> 01:35:29.159 Gym branded table and he puts it inside the ring 1695 01:35:29.239 --> 01:35:32.119 and he sets it up and again he places Cody 1696 01:35:32.159 --> 01:35:35.199 on top and he climbs up after him for another 1697 01:35:35.239 --> 01:35:37.520 avalanche attitude adjustment. This time he's going to put him 1698 01:35:37.520 --> 01:35:41.000 to the table with it. This time, though, Cody elbows 1699 01:35:41.000 --> 01:35:43.279 out of it, lands on his feet. But Cody runs 1700 01:35:43.319 --> 01:35:46.680 the ropes, grabs a hold of Sena, and he delivers 1701 01:35:46.800 --> 01:35:50.439 a Cody cutter off the top rope through the table. 1702 01:35:51.079 --> 01:35:56.000 He puts John Cena through the table. This I didn't 1703 01:35:56.079 --> 01:35:58.920 like because Sena immediately gets back up to his feet. 1704 01:36:00.159 --> 01:36:02.119 Not that he like, no sold it, but I feel 1705 01:36:02.119 --> 01:36:05.000 like he popped up from it just way too quickly. 1706 01:36:06.239 --> 01:36:08.880 And now he's kind of hanging on the middle rope 1707 01:36:09.039 --> 01:36:12.359 and again he's selling it. But it's like if you 1708 01:36:12.399 --> 01:36:15.319 put somebody through a table with an avalanche cutter, like 1709 01:36:15.560 --> 01:36:18.399 they should be laying there for a while. I just 1710 01:36:18.399 --> 01:36:20.880 thought he popped up too soon. But he's hanging across 1711 01:36:20.920 --> 01:36:23.800 the middle rope. And the reason they did this is 1712 01:36:23.840 --> 01:36:28.560 because in the background they kind of focus. All of 1713 01:36:28.600 --> 01:36:32.239 a sudden, Cody in the background does the salute, one 1714 01:36:32.359 --> 01:36:36.239 last John Cena salute you see in the background, and 1715 01:36:36.279 --> 01:36:39.600 then he hits one final crossroads and he covers him, 1716 01:36:39.680 --> 01:36:44.399 and finally Cody Rhodes gets the three count, he pins 1717 01:36:44.479 --> 01:36:49.960 John Cena, and he regains the WWE Championship. He is 1718 01:36:50.000 --> 01:36:53.600 now a two time champion. And the crowd did not boo. 1719 01:36:54.239 --> 01:36:56.439 So for all the booing that Cody Rhod's got in 1720 01:36:56.439 --> 01:37:00.880 this match, when the match was over, they cheered Cody. 1721 01:37:01.000 --> 01:37:02.720 It's not like he got booted out of the building. 1722 01:37:03.039 --> 01:37:05.760 It's like Rock and Hogan at Wrestle Media eighteen right. 1723 01:37:06.600 --> 01:37:08.640 For the most part, Rock was booed, but pretty much 1724 01:37:08.720 --> 01:37:12.039 the entire match when Rock won, you could hear some 1725 01:37:12.079 --> 01:37:13.960 boozs mixed in, but all of a sudden, he got 1726 01:37:14.159 --> 01:37:15.920 a lot of cheers too. It's not like he got 1727 01:37:15.960 --> 01:37:18.720 boot out of the SkyDome. It's like, okay, all right, 1728 01:37:18.880 --> 01:37:22.119 you know, begrudgingly. We respect the guy, you know that. 1729 01:37:22.119 --> 01:37:24.560 That was a great match, So that was kind of 1730 01:37:24.560 --> 01:37:28.760 the reaction here. And with the title sitting in the 1731 01:37:28.840 --> 01:37:31.960 middle of the ring. After the match, Sena goes and 1732 01:37:32.000 --> 01:37:35.439 picks it up and he hands it to Cody. It's like, 1733 01:37:35.479 --> 01:37:37.880 what's he gonna do, right, you know, A whack him 1734 01:37:37.920 --> 01:37:40.640 with it. I didn't think he would, but you never know. 1735 01:37:41.640 --> 01:37:45.159 I was just I have PTSD from WrestleMania, Like, I'm 1736 01:37:45.199 --> 01:37:48.199 watching this and in the back of my mind, it's 1737 01:37:48.239 --> 01:37:53.800 like the voices in my head. All I hear is Fien, Fien, Fien, 1738 01:37:54.199 --> 01:37:58.880 and I'm waiting. I'm just waiting. I'm just waiting. Thank god, 1739 01:37:58.920 --> 01:38:02.760 there was no fiend and he hands the belt over 1740 01:38:02.840 --> 01:38:06.560 to Cody Rhodes and he grabs Cody and he whispers 1741 01:38:06.560 --> 01:38:09.680 something in his ear. For a good like twenty seconds, 1742 01:38:09.960 --> 01:38:12.760 he's talking his ear off and we couldn't hear what 1743 01:38:12.800 --> 01:38:17.119 he said. And then he raised Cody's arm and they 1744 01:38:17.159 --> 01:38:21.000 shot off a shitload of pyro in the background for 1745 01:38:21.439 --> 01:38:25.319 a good fifteen twenty seconds, and the two men embraced again. 1746 01:38:25.439 --> 01:38:29.720 Cody left the ring to Sina. He's like, I'm gonna 1747 01:38:29.760 --> 01:38:32.279 leave the ring to this guy here, and they cut 1748 01:38:32.279 --> 01:38:35.960 off Cody's music, so it was just the crowd noise, 1749 01:38:36.399 --> 01:38:40.279 and the fans gave Sena a standing ovation. They started 1750 01:38:40.359 --> 01:38:48.279 chanting thank you, Sena, and he got quiet, and I'm thinking, Okay, 1751 01:38:48.359 --> 01:38:50.479 this is not how it's going to end. I would 1752 01:38:50.479 --> 01:38:52.520 have been perfectly content with this being the end of 1753 01:38:52.560 --> 01:38:56.640 the show and no music. Have the camera follow Scena 1754 01:38:56.680 --> 01:38:59.800 back up the ramp and he just soaks up the cheers. 1755 01:39:00.000 --> 01:39:02.640 It does one final salute. This is his last Summer Slim. 1756 01:39:02.920 --> 01:39:05.760 Like John, Cena has had some classic matches at this show. 1757 01:39:06.600 --> 01:39:10.359 He's had great matches at Summerslim against Seth Rollins and 1758 01:39:10.399 --> 01:39:14.279 against CM Punk and against brock Lesnar and against aj Styles, 1759 01:39:14.960 --> 01:39:17.479 and so the fact that this is his last one 1760 01:39:17.920 --> 01:39:21.159 and now he's back to being a babyface, I feel 1761 01:39:21.159 --> 01:39:22.960 like that would have been a suitable ending. Yeah, you 1762 01:39:22.960 --> 01:39:25.239 wouldn't have had the big shock finish that they loved 1763 01:39:25.239 --> 01:39:27.760 to go for, but I would have been okay with that. 1764 01:39:27.880 --> 01:39:30.680 As great as this match was, if that's where the 1765 01:39:30.680 --> 01:39:32.840 show would have ended, just kind of following Sena up 1766 01:39:32.880 --> 01:39:34.840 the aisle, I would have been okay with it. But 1767 01:39:34.880 --> 01:39:37.239 it got real quiet, and I'm like something's about to 1768 01:39:37.279 --> 01:39:40.000 go down, like the rock is coming out or something. 1769 01:39:40.960 --> 01:39:44.199 And it was not the music that I was expecting, 1770 01:39:45.279 --> 01:39:49.680 but we hear Brocklesner's music. Not the first time that 1771 01:39:49.720 --> 01:39:53.159 brock Lesner has made a dramatic return at SummerSlam. Right 1772 01:39:53.800 --> 01:39:57.720 three years ago, after John Cena lost to Roman Reigns, 1773 01:39:58.399 --> 01:40:01.920 same exact thing happened, and just like they went nuts 1774 01:40:01.920 --> 01:40:04.199 back then, they went nuts for this as well. Michael 1775 01:40:04.279 --> 01:40:07.520 Cole is just going over the top on commentary. He's like, 1776 01:40:07.560 --> 01:40:12.319 holy shit, it's the Beast. It's the Beast. And Brock 1777 01:40:12.399 --> 01:40:15.960 walks out and he's the bearded man, right, He's got 1778 01:40:16.000 --> 01:40:18.920 the beard. He's wearing a black cowboy hat, he's got 1779 01:40:18.920 --> 01:40:23.800 a black leather vest on or leather vest, black T shirt, jeans, 1780 01:40:24.680 --> 01:40:26.920 and he begins to walk to the ring and scene 1781 01:40:27.039 --> 01:40:29.199 is in the ring and he has this stunned look 1782 01:40:29.239 --> 01:40:31.159 on his face, and it just brought me back to 1783 01:40:31.199 --> 01:40:33.479 that night. When Brock came back to the company in 1784 01:40:33.479 --> 01:40:36.920 twenty twelve, it was the exact same thing. Scene is 1785 01:40:36.920 --> 01:40:39.840 in the ring. I think he was waiting for the rock. 1786 01:40:40.600 --> 01:40:42.640 I think he was waiting for the rock to come out, 1787 01:40:42.680 --> 01:40:44.399 because this was the night after they had their first 1788 01:40:44.399 --> 01:40:48.319 match and Rock beat him, and when they hit Brock's music, 1789 01:40:48.359 --> 01:40:52.399 it was this big shock and he circled the Ring's 1790 01:40:52.479 --> 01:40:54.760 exactly what Brock did here. He took his time, he 1791 01:40:54.880 --> 01:40:57.720 circled the ring. Seena followed him. He's watching him the 1792 01:40:57.840 --> 01:41:03.800 entire time. And Lesner removes his vest, he removes his hat. 1793 01:41:05.319 --> 01:41:08.760 He gets into the ring, He ducks a clothesline attempt 1794 01:41:09.000 --> 01:41:11.640 by John Cena gets him up on his shoulders and 1795 01:41:11.680 --> 01:41:15.600 he puts him down with an F five and that's it. 1796 01:41:15.640 --> 01:41:18.239 They played his music. Brock left the ring. He put 1797 01:41:18.239 --> 01:41:20.560 his hat back on, he threw his vest over his shoulder, 1798 01:41:21.199 --> 01:41:24.560 and he headed to the stage and Lesner looked back 1799 01:41:24.600 --> 01:41:27.239 at the ring. He smiled before heading to the back 1800 01:41:28.000 --> 01:41:30.439 Sena for a while. This was when the I think 1801 01:41:30.479 --> 01:41:33.039 the show ended, and then they went into the post show. 1802 01:41:33.840 --> 01:41:36.880 They kept the cameras rolling and Sena is just sitting 1803 01:41:36.960 --> 01:41:40.520 on the apron. His music starts to play, and he 1804 01:41:40.560 --> 01:41:43.720 looks into the camera and he goes like this, goes non, 1805 01:41:43.800 --> 01:41:45.399 turn the music off. I just want to hear this. 1806 01:41:46.119 --> 01:41:49.079 I want to hear the fans. So they turned his 1807 01:41:49.199 --> 01:41:51.600 music off. The fans are cheering for him as he 1808 01:41:51.640 --> 01:41:56.239 walks up the ramp final time at SummerSlam, and he 1809 01:41:56.279 --> 01:41:59.520 gets to the stage and he salutes the fans he 1810 01:41:59.600 --> 01:42:02.840 teased going backstage, but then he turns around again and 1811 01:42:02.880 --> 01:42:05.880 he looks at the crowd one last time and emotioned 1812 01:42:05.960 --> 01:42:10.079 that he was taking a mental picture, and then he 1813 01:42:10.119 --> 01:42:14.880 made his exit. This match, this match saved the show 1814 01:42:15.079 --> 01:42:17.239 for me. I'm not saying that every match on the 1815 01:42:17.279 --> 01:42:21.079 show sucked. That's not true. But if we would have 1816 01:42:21.159 --> 01:42:24.680 had like a SOSO main event or a main event 1817 01:42:24.720 --> 01:42:27.399 that was comparable to what these two gave us in April, 1818 01:42:27.880 --> 01:42:30.399 like this show, it would have been an awful way 1819 01:42:30.560 --> 01:42:33.359 for SummerSlam to go off the air. As it was 1820 01:42:33.439 --> 01:42:37.000 to me, this match saved the entire show. This match 1821 01:42:37.079 --> 01:42:40.000 was awesome. This was the match that you would want, 1822 01:42:40.079 --> 01:42:42.840 like John Cena in his final year, to go in 1823 01:42:42.880 --> 01:42:45.800 there and have with Cody Rhoads. And they were out 1824 01:42:45.840 --> 01:42:50.199 there for thirty seven minutes and John Cena was pulling 1825 01:42:50.239 --> 01:42:51.920 things out of his ass that we have not seen 1826 01:42:52.000 --> 01:42:54.920 him do so far this year. At no point during 1827 01:42:54.960 --> 01:42:57.239 this match did John Cena look like he was gassed. 1828 01:42:57.239 --> 01:42:59.159 Oh he's got nothing laught, Oh my god, he's so 1829 01:42:59.239 --> 01:43:02.680 fucking old. Like he looked better in this match than 1830 01:43:02.720 --> 01:43:04.439 he has looked in any of the matches we've seen 1831 01:43:04.520 --> 01:43:06.239 him and since he came back at the beginning of 1832 01:43:06.279 --> 01:43:10.199 the year. So I'm glad that we got as close 1833 01:43:10.239 --> 01:43:12.720 to the old John Cena as we could possibly get, 1834 01:43:13.159 --> 01:43:16.600 Like this was the right time to get that, because 1835 01:43:16.640 --> 01:43:18.800 this was the match where Cody was winning the belt back, 1836 01:43:19.279 --> 01:43:22.039 and that always had to be the plan. Cody Rose 1837 01:43:22.079 --> 01:43:28.399 looked like an idiot at WrestleMania. It was awful, and 1838 01:43:28.479 --> 01:43:31.279 he's the guy now. It's not John Cena anymore. He 1839 01:43:31.399 --> 01:43:33.920 is now the John Cena of this era in ww 1840 01:43:34.039 --> 01:43:38.199 He has modeled himself after John Cena. John Cena was 1841 01:43:38.199 --> 01:43:42.920 probably his dream opponent, so this had to be John 1842 01:43:42.960 --> 01:43:46.319 Cena finally putting him over and basically passing the torch. 1843 01:43:47.079 --> 01:43:50.680 Cody is the champion. Where he goes next, I don't know. 1844 01:43:50.720 --> 01:43:54.600 I'm still waiting on that Randy Orton program. I'm not 1845 01:43:54.640 --> 01:43:58.800 sure if we're going right into that. I'm not sure. Frankly, 1846 01:43:58.920 --> 01:44:00.239 I'm looking at the lay of the land and on 1847 01:44:00.319 --> 01:44:03.800 SmackDown right now, and I really have to think about 1848 01:44:03.840 --> 01:44:07.359 like where they might be going, you know next with 1849 01:44:07.359 --> 01:44:10.680 with Cody, I'm not sure, but as far as John 1850 01:44:10.720 --> 01:44:14.159 Cena in this match, I thought he looked great. Cody 1851 01:44:14.239 --> 01:44:19.079 was great. They played their parts perfectly and genuinely one 1852 01:44:19.119 --> 01:44:23.119 of the best matches of the entire year. Like I 1853 01:44:23.159 --> 01:44:25.960 cannot say enough good things about the match itself. Brock 1854 01:44:26.039 --> 01:44:28.920 coming back to take it back to what we talked 1855 01:44:28.920 --> 01:44:31.640 about at the beginning here, there's gonna be a lot 1856 01:44:31.760 --> 01:44:34.159 said about whether or not they should have brought him back. 1857 01:44:34.720 --> 01:44:39.239 I don't think the WWE needs Brockleisner. I don't think 1858 01:44:39.279 --> 01:44:41.479 that they need the baggage that comes with his name 1859 01:44:41.560 --> 01:44:44.319 right now. Until this whole situation is settled or resolved 1860 01:44:44.359 --> 01:44:48.079 in some way, at least, they're gonna be haunted by questions. 1861 01:44:48.119 --> 01:44:51.079 They're going to be peppered by questions. Triple H will 1862 01:44:51.079 --> 01:44:53.880 be doing the Odd Media Interviewer podcast and he's gonna 1863 01:44:53.880 --> 01:44:56.840 get hit with questions, and he better be prepared for them, 1864 01:44:57.119 --> 01:45:00.039 because they're perfectly valid questions. You know, this may and 1865 01:45:00.159 --> 01:45:03.520 is named in a very serious lawsuit that is still pending. 1866 01:45:04.600 --> 01:45:06.159 Like there is a reason that Vince McMahon is no 1867 01:45:06.239 --> 01:45:08.880 longer running the show. There's a reason that Paulavec is 1868 01:45:08.880 --> 01:45:12.840 the one that is sitting in gorilla position right now. Right. 1869 01:45:13.079 --> 01:45:17.079 The reason for that is Janelle Grant. So it's a 1870 01:45:17.119 --> 01:45:21.439 serious situation and it's still unresolved, and brock Lesner's name 1871 01:45:21.600 --> 01:45:24.600 has been linked to it. Right, He's not a defendant. 1872 01:45:25.159 --> 01:45:29.239 He wasn't sued. But the fact that you know, these allegations, 1873 01:45:29.279 --> 01:45:32.039 when you read them again, it's it's gross and it's disgusting. 1874 01:45:32.079 --> 01:45:35.880 The idea that you know he was negotiating a new 1875 01:45:35.920 --> 01:45:38.319 contract at the time, and that these things were going 1876 01:45:38.359 --> 01:45:40.920 on or text messages were going back and forth like ah, 1877 01:45:41.119 --> 01:45:42.920 take a look at this, you know that kind of thing, 1878 01:45:43.600 --> 01:45:47.239 and you know he's he's been you know, kind of 1879 01:45:47.479 --> 01:45:50.880 roped into this and he's associated with this. Now I 1880 01:45:50.880 --> 01:45:54.399 don't know why. Now, I don't know why. Okay, now 1881 01:45:54.439 --> 01:45:56.159 the coast is clear and it's a good time to 1882 01:45:56.159 --> 01:45:58.920 bring Brocklesner back. I don't know what the thought process is. 1883 01:45:59.439 --> 01:46:01.479 I don't know if it had to do specifically with 1884 01:46:01.560 --> 01:46:04.159 John Cena. And we're not going to see brock work 1885 01:46:04.159 --> 01:46:06.760 with anybody else but Sena because this is it, right, 1886 01:46:06.800 --> 01:46:08.399 this is the last if they want to do him 1887 01:46:08.439 --> 01:46:10.199 and Sena, this is it. They don't have another chance 1888 01:46:10.239 --> 01:46:13.560 to do it, So I'd be very curious to know 1889 01:46:13.640 --> 01:46:18.119 more about what kind of deal they reached. But that's 1890 01:46:18.439 --> 01:46:20.920 that's just kind of the way things stand right now. 1891 01:46:21.439 --> 01:46:23.760 There's going to be a lot of a lot of 1892 01:46:23.760 --> 01:46:26.520 people very happy to see Brock back because they feel 1893 01:46:26.520 --> 01:46:29.119 that he can bring something that is missing to the 1894 01:46:29.159 --> 01:46:31.479 product right now, and a lot of people that are 1895 01:46:31.520 --> 01:46:34.640 just frankly, even if you kind of put all that 1896 01:46:35.159 --> 01:46:37.800 sordid stuff on the side for a second, I think 1897 01:46:37.800 --> 01:46:40.039 there are people that are just tired of seeing brock lesnar, 1898 01:46:41.680 --> 01:46:44.079 you know. I mean, there are people that probably are 1899 01:46:44.119 --> 01:46:45.920 just going to look at this from a wrestling perspective 1900 01:46:45.960 --> 01:46:51.000 and say, what's left for him to do here, which 1901 01:46:51.039 --> 01:46:53.760 is valid. I do think that they're from a wrestling perspective. 1902 01:46:53.800 --> 01:46:55.439 I think that there are new people that he could 1903 01:46:55.479 --> 01:46:57.920 work with where you know, there could be some fun 1904 01:46:57.960 --> 01:47:03.880 matches in there him and Sena. I mean, again, what 1905 01:47:03.960 --> 01:47:07.239 kind of match are they going to have in twenty 1906 01:47:07.319 --> 01:47:10.560 twenty five? You know, I don't know what that looks like. 1907 01:47:12.359 --> 01:47:15.560 I don't know what that match looks like. But if 1908 01:47:15.560 --> 01:47:18.680 it were me, that would not have been something I 1909 01:47:18.680 --> 01:47:20.399 would have gone out of my way to make happen 1910 01:47:21.520 --> 01:47:25.359 is bringing Bracklesner back to ww A. And as I 1911 01:47:25.359 --> 01:47:29.279 said earlier seeing a schedule, he's down to nine dates 1912 01:47:29.399 --> 01:47:33.199 left on this retirement tour, and not a lot of 1913 01:47:33.239 --> 01:47:36.159 those dates are for events here in the US, So 1914 01:47:36.359 --> 01:47:39.520 we are rapidly approaching the end. I think it's a 1915 01:47:39.560 --> 01:47:43.680 shame that they wasted a good five months with this 1916 01:47:43.840 --> 01:47:47.479 heel nonsense looking back at what they did now that 1917 01:47:47.520 --> 01:47:51.079 we know the heel turn is officially over. You know, 1918 01:47:51.119 --> 01:47:54.000 I look at this and I go, man, I can 1919 01:47:54.079 --> 01:47:56.560 kind of understand them maybe not wanting all these matches 1920 01:47:56.600 --> 01:47:59.840 to be Babyface against Babyface, you know, like it would 1921 01:47:59.880 --> 01:48:02.640 have against the Orton and against Punk, But like there's 1922 01:48:02.640 --> 01:48:05.239 so many people, even some names he's worked with in 1923 01:48:05.279 --> 01:48:07.800 the past, like a Shamus or someone like that, that 1924 01:48:07.800 --> 01:48:09.680 I would love or AJ that I would love to 1925 01:48:09.680 --> 01:48:11.600 see him back in the ring with one last time. 1926 01:48:11.840 --> 01:48:14.199 There's still time for that to happen, But I don't 1927 01:48:14.199 --> 01:48:16.239 have a lot of optimism because he's only got so 1928 01:48:16.279 --> 01:48:19.880 many matches left and the fact they want to, you know, 1929 01:48:20.319 --> 01:48:24.159 use brock Lesnar for one of them, Well, we'll see 1930 01:48:24.159 --> 01:48:29.239 how that goes. I'm I'm skeptical about how that's going 1931 01:48:29.279 --> 01:48:32.479 to look. But let's take a look at this poll here, 1932 01:48:34.600 --> 01:48:37.119 very curious again. I did the format that we did 1933 01:48:37.199 --> 01:48:39.600 last night where I asked you guys to grade this 1934 01:48:39.760 --> 01:48:45.479 show A, B, C or D. Thirty seven point four 1935 01:48:45.520 --> 01:48:49.399 percent give this an A, thirty nine percent give the 1936 01:48:49.439 --> 01:48:53.399 show a B, fourteen point two percent give the show 1937 01:48:53.479 --> 01:48:57.960 a C, and nine percent give the show a D. 1938 01:48:59.840 --> 01:49:02.439 Was isn't the last person lesnar fock Cody? Yes, I 1939 01:49:02.479 --> 01:49:07.640 mentioned that earlier. That was SummerSlam two years ago. He 1940 01:49:08.279 --> 01:49:13.880 did the job for Cody Rhoads. And then Cody went 1941 01:49:13.920 --> 01:49:18.199 on to win the WWE Championship and King Nator just 1942 01:49:18.279 --> 01:49:25.520 dropped ten gifted memberships and everybody who has gifted memberships tonight, 1943 01:49:25.560 --> 01:49:29.840 You guys are awesome. Is that really his mother? Yes? 1944 01:49:29.880 --> 01:49:34.199 That is Nick Wayne's actual mother. It's not like Mama 1945 01:49:34.239 --> 01:49:41.560 Benjamin back in the day. This is his shoot mom. 1946 01:49:41.600 --> 01:49:43.840 All right, let me roll back to the early super 1947 01:49:43.960 --> 01:49:47.159 chats here so I make sure I don't miss anybody again. 1948 01:49:47.439 --> 01:49:49.359 Get those questions in. Now's the time to do it 1949 01:49:49.359 --> 01:49:51.840 if you haven't already done so, or if you just 1950 01:49:51.880 --> 01:49:55.079 want to support. We've had tremendous support this entire weekend. 1951 01:49:55.199 --> 01:49:59.119 So let me just thank everybody who has been a 1952 01:49:59.119 --> 01:50:02.439 part of all the stream games. Appreciate it very much. 1953 01:50:06.399 --> 01:50:15.560 All right, So let's see your death side getting us started. Earlier, 1954 01:50:15.600 --> 01:50:17.720 I was thinking that they should blow off punkin set 1955 01:50:17.800 --> 01:50:22.039 that Survivor series, since their feud technically began at that 1956 01:50:22.159 --> 01:50:25.600 show two years ago. Yeah, you know what, I don't 1957 01:50:25.640 --> 01:50:28.279 see that happening. I think that they're setting up for 1958 01:50:29.319 --> 01:50:34.319 probably sets guys to be in wargames, unless it's like 1959 01:50:34.399 --> 01:50:36.239 the MFT. Oh my god, I don't even want to 1960 01:50:36.279 --> 01:50:40.880 think about that. You imagine if it's Solo Socoa and 1961 01:50:40.920 --> 01:50:45.720 the MFTs in the fucking war Games match. Oh my god. 1962 01:50:48.720 --> 01:50:51.439 Death Site says, what if Sammy wins the rumble by 1963 01:50:51.439 --> 01:50:56.239 eliminating Drew, and Drew goads Sammy into putting his shot 1964 01:50:56.319 --> 01:51:00.560 on the line. Sammy finally beat Drew at the elimination chamber, 1965 01:51:01.479 --> 01:51:03.920 he challenges Cody at Wrestleman he of forty two, and 1966 01:51:03.960 --> 01:51:07.119 he beats him with the assist from Kevin Owens and 1967 01:51:07.199 --> 01:51:12.800 turns tweener. Yeah. I'm not a fan of that idea, 1968 01:51:13.439 --> 01:51:16.119 first of all, to goad him into putting his shot 1969 01:51:16.119 --> 01:51:18.000 on the line when he's worked so hard to earn 1970 01:51:18.039 --> 01:51:20.359 the shot in the first place. Just makes Sammy look stupid. 1971 01:51:22.399 --> 01:51:26.880 But I also think Sammy against Cody is not the match. 1972 01:51:27.880 --> 01:51:31.720 If anything, it's Sammy against Seth, not Cody. Also, what 1973 01:51:31.840 --> 01:51:35.960 did the Hunter say when he shot Bambie's mother? Oh dear, 1974 01:51:38.359 --> 01:51:43.199 not bad Bace beer Asena is getting number eighteen. No 1975 01:51:43.399 --> 01:51:51.680 he's not, No, he is not. His title run is ova. 1976 01:51:53.399 --> 01:51:56.000 That is it. That's why he kissed the title before 1977 01:51:56.000 --> 01:52:00.439 he handed it to the referee tonight, because he knew 1978 01:52:01.119 --> 01:52:08.399 it was the final time. Nick says, Look, if this 1979 01:52:08.560 --> 01:52:10.520 is it for the Scena heel run, I think it's 1980 01:52:10.520 --> 01:52:13.199 going to leave a permanent black mark on Triple H's 1981 01:52:13.279 --> 01:52:16.079 run as creative head that will be brought up years 1982 01:52:16.079 --> 01:52:21.159 from now. It'll definitely be a black mark for sure, 1983 01:52:21.640 --> 01:52:28.439 because I just don't think it was good. And how 1984 01:52:28.479 --> 01:52:30.680 do you fuck up a John Cena heel turn right? 1985 01:52:30.960 --> 01:52:35.600 It came ten years too late, right, ten twelve, thirteen years. 1986 01:52:36.239 --> 01:52:39.359 If it happened back then, I mean, under Vince, you 1987 01:52:39.399 --> 01:52:41.800 never know. If it happened back then and they did 1988 01:52:41.800 --> 01:52:43.840 it the right way, it would it would have been amazing. 1989 01:52:43.840 --> 01:52:46.960 It would have been huge, and he was full time 1990 01:52:47.000 --> 01:52:49.600 back then, so you could really have some fun with 1991 01:52:49.680 --> 01:52:52.279 it instead of him showing up once every six weeks. 1992 01:52:54.520 --> 01:53:02.359 Ace of Masta. Dustin had a better street fight. I 1993 01:53:02.800 --> 01:53:05.920 saw Meltzer gave that five star like it's just whatever, 1994 01:53:05.960 --> 01:53:10.600 it's his system, But my god, Dustin and Kyle Fletcher 1995 01:53:10.680 --> 01:53:17.840 five stars for that match on collision, Bass Beers says 1996 01:53:17.920 --> 01:53:19.960 Lesner with a feather in his cap Yes, he did 1997 01:53:19.960 --> 01:53:21.359 have a feather. That's right, he had a feather in 1998 01:53:21.359 --> 01:53:26.079 his cap ace of Master. Brock pits boy Lesner f 1999 01:53:26.159 --> 01:53:34.560 this company. Yep. Holiday one ninety seven, Night two of 2000 01:53:34.640 --> 01:53:37.279 Summer Slam has been by far better than Night one. 2001 01:53:38.319 --> 01:53:40.840 You added Gunther versus Punk to this card, it would 2002 01:53:40.840 --> 01:53:48.239 have been one of the better Summer slams. Boots Cody 2003 01:53:48.239 --> 01:53:50.720 went heel. He didn't come back out to defend Cena 2004 01:53:50.800 --> 01:53:55.600 from Lesner. Well maybe he went to the back and 2005 01:53:55.640 --> 01:53:57.840 he was in the bathroom, you know, he went to 2006 01:53:57.880 --> 01:53:59.960 the back, he was taking a shit, and then Brock 2007 01:54:00.199 --> 01:54:04.039 music hits to get to bolst pants up and go 2008 01:54:04.119 --> 01:54:07.600 running back out there. It's like, sorry, buddy, you're on 2009 01:54:07.640 --> 01:54:12.439 your own shapey ninety nine, the Rock sent Brock right, 2010 01:54:13.359 --> 01:54:18.239 because why do we need Brock versus Sena again. So 2011 01:54:18.359 --> 01:54:29.239 his theory is the Rock may have sent Brock. I again, 2012 01:54:29.840 --> 01:54:34.560 I we we don't need the Rock. We don't need 2013 01:54:34.600 --> 01:54:39.800 the Rock. Justter Benz, F Brock Lesner and F Triple H, 2014 01:54:40.000 --> 01:54:46.520 Nick con and Tko Dry Chicken says, I'm making this 2015 01:54:46.560 --> 01:54:50.000 prediction Brockolesner will have his own retirement match next year 2016 01:54:50.039 --> 01:54:54.760 at SummerSlam in Minneapolis. Well, he is a Minnesota guy, 2017 01:54:54.880 --> 01:54:59.880 although he doesn't live there anymore. I don't think brockn 2018 01:55:00.000 --> 01:55:06.199 it's a retirement match. Jano Compo. I think when Brock 2019 01:55:06.319 --> 01:55:09.560 is done, he's just done. That's it. Jan Ocampo says 2020 01:55:09.600 --> 01:55:12.520 if both made events didn't have neither of those finishes, 2021 01:55:12.560 --> 01:55:15.560 this proves, other than Mania and possibly the Rumble, there 2022 01:55:15.560 --> 01:55:23.359 shouldn't be two night pay per views. Money. It's all money. 2023 01:55:23.920 --> 01:55:28.119 They can make money. They're gonna do it PB with 2024 01:55:28.199 --> 01:55:32.239 a one hundred dollars super chap bomb, the big bomb 2025 01:55:32.319 --> 01:55:34.479 of the night. Right there. I may be old and tired, 2026 01:55:34.520 --> 01:55:37.479 but what was the whole point of Lesnar? Does he 2027 01:55:37.560 --> 01:55:42.399 need more money? Can never have enough money? All right, 2028 01:55:42.439 --> 01:55:46.720 that's what Brock says, Give me more money. I'll come back. 2029 01:55:51.319 --> 01:55:56.960 Lord Freeza says brother Solo, thank you for your work. 2030 01:55:57.720 --> 01:56:03.159 The Beast is back, says tremendous. I loved it, loved 2031 01:56:03.159 --> 01:56:05.760 this Summer Slam. Only match that was bad was Cross 2032 01:56:05.880 --> 01:56:10.239 against Sammy. Yeah. I don't think Cross did himself any 2033 01:56:10.279 --> 01:56:14.760 favors with that match. Alexander says the only good thing 2034 01:56:14.800 --> 01:56:17.520 of Brock's return is the match with Gunther at Mania 2035 01:56:17.760 --> 01:56:22.880 is a possibility. Again, well, I mean that was a 2036 01:56:22.960 --> 01:56:26.640 dream match for guntherro at one point. Actually, that was 2037 01:56:26.680 --> 01:56:28.600 the match that was supposed to happen to wrestle Mania 2038 01:56:28.680 --> 01:56:40.199 the following year, and obviously it didn't happen. Dry Chicken 2039 01:56:40.239 --> 01:56:46.439 says Gunther retired Goldberg, maybe Lesner is next. I'd be 2040 01:56:46.479 --> 01:56:49.560 okay with that. Look. I think Gunher is a possibility 2041 01:56:49.600 --> 01:56:51.680 for John Cena's final apoek. Can you imagine if they 2042 01:56:51.680 --> 01:56:54.600 had guntherer retire Goldberg and then Sina and then Brock. 2043 01:56:59.039 --> 01:57:02.720 Lakers pats speak for all. Travis Scott should have interfered, 2044 01:57:04.399 --> 01:57:06.880 you speak for all? Who is this all that you 2045 01:57:06.920 --> 01:57:12.399 speak of? Dry Chicken? Time for he says, time to 2046 01:57:12.399 --> 01:57:16.079 take a break from WWE. All right, Well, as long 2047 01:57:16.079 --> 01:57:18.479 as you don't take a break from the streams. You 2048 01:57:18.479 --> 01:57:22.039 can take a break from WWA, Jeremy Rose. Only WrestleMania 2049 01:57:22.119 --> 01:57:25.319 should be two nights. If it is supposed to be 2050 01:57:25.359 --> 01:57:27.720 the biggest event of the industry, then it should stand 2051 01:57:27.760 --> 01:57:33.359 alone as a two night event. I don't disagree with you. 2052 01:57:34.600 --> 01:57:37.560 I don't disagree with you. Justter bens with Brocklesner back. 2053 01:57:37.560 --> 01:57:40.920 I will be sticking with other wrestling shows besides WWE 2054 01:57:40.920 --> 01:57:46.039 for the foreseeable future. And on my birthday, of all days, 2055 01:57:47.479 --> 01:57:50.760 happy birthday, Justter you know what else happened. I mean 2056 01:57:50.760 --> 01:57:55.479 it's after midnight now, but twenty eight years ago on 2057 01:57:55.560 --> 01:57:59.359 August third, one of the greatest Summer Slam finishes of 2058 01:57:59.399 --> 01:58:03.600 all time Undertaker and Brett Hart with Shawn Michaels as 2059 01:58:03.640 --> 01:58:08.239 the guest referee. And where did it happen. Happen at 2060 01:58:08.279 --> 01:58:12.000 the Meadowlands in New Jersey, right up the road from 2061 01:58:12.000 --> 01:58:19.960 met Life Stadium. We got Tucky Neutron Mania, Roman versus 2062 01:58:20.000 --> 01:58:21.800 b No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, 2063 01:58:22.359 --> 01:58:27.159 Tucky Tucky. We are not doing Roman reigns in brock 2064 01:58:27.239 --> 01:58:33.399 Lesnar again. Okay, you can forget about that, he says, 2065 01:58:33.680 --> 01:58:39.319 Roman versus brock Seth versus Punk Hayman on a pole match. 2066 01:58:39.720 --> 01:58:43.239 Oh oh, it's one big match. Roman versus Brock, versus 2067 01:58:43.239 --> 01:58:47.800 Seth versus Punk. I see Paul Hayman on a pole. 2068 01:58:52.600 --> 01:58:57.000 Peter McNasty TV Gunther versus Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania forty two, 2069 01:58:57.479 --> 01:59:04.359 Praying Holiday says, I wonder if we'll get Gunther versus boys. 2070 01:59:04.399 --> 01:59:13.119 A lot of interesting Gunther and Brock. I see, well, 2071 01:59:13.119 --> 01:59:14.760 look at mean, if Brock is back for more than 2072 01:59:14.800 --> 01:59:16.479 just a John Cena match, that would be the match 2073 01:59:16.560 --> 01:59:22.439 to see, right, that's the match I would want to see. 2074 01:59:25.039 --> 01:59:28.279 Halen's Haven Night two is a blast. Weird to have 2075 01:59:28.319 --> 01:59:30.640 two nights and have all the stipulation matches on one 2076 01:59:30.640 --> 01:59:34.239 of them. One of them would have stood out on 2077 01:59:34.399 --> 01:59:36.560 Night one. Yeah, they should have done a much better 2078 01:59:36.640 --> 01:59:40.760 job of breaking up those stipulation matches. To have them 2079 01:59:40.760 --> 01:59:42.640 all back to back to back like that was just 2080 01:59:42.680 --> 01:59:46.359 too much. I felt like I was watching SummerSlam Extreme 2081 01:59:46.439 --> 01:59:52.199 Rules Prince Vegeta. I know I'm a bit late, but 2082 01:59:52.239 --> 01:59:54.520 rest in peace, Hulk Hogan, Love him or hate him, 2083 01:59:54.520 --> 01:59:56.720 he is the Michael Jordan of wrestling, and, as it 2084 01:59:56.760 --> 02:00:01.439 says in the nWo theme, the biggest icon in wrestling. See, sir, 2085 02:00:01.479 --> 02:00:05.960 you are incorrect because according to WWA, the real icon 2086 02:00:06.079 --> 02:00:13.960 here is Stephanie McMahon. She comes first, then holkovid Uh, 2087 02:00:14.159 --> 02:00:21.359 mister Rod, the twenty dollars super chat, brock Lesner back, Huh, 2088 02:00:21.439 --> 02:00:25.079 what the fuck? Bro shocker of the whole weekend. Wow, 2089 02:00:26.079 --> 02:00:28.560 it was the shocker of the weekend. It was more 2090 02:00:28.880 --> 02:00:31.520 shocking than the money in the bancash. And I didn't 2091 02:00:31.560 --> 02:00:36.840 hear a single person talking about brock Lesner. They did 2092 02:00:36.840 --> 02:00:39.680 a very good job of keeping this under wraps. Apparently 2093 02:00:39.720 --> 02:00:43.119 they flew him in last night into New Jersey in 2094 02:00:43.199 --> 02:00:46.680 the dark of night, and they kept him hidden all 2095 02:00:46.760 --> 02:00:49.680 day long. And I'm sure they were filming all of 2096 02:00:49.720 --> 02:00:52.960 it for WWE Unreal. That'll probably be in season two. 2097 02:00:54.199 --> 02:00:58.000 Season two has already been confirmed as well, all the 2098 02:00:58.000 --> 02:01:01.760 stuff with Rollin's and the injury of the phony injury. Right, 2099 02:01:01.800 --> 02:01:06.479 all this shit is being filmed for Unreal. They got 2100 02:01:06.479 --> 02:01:09.319 cameras all over this stuff. They need content for the 2101 02:01:09.319 --> 02:01:16.560 next season, Mark Kwan. How do they promote seeing a 2102 02:01:16.640 --> 02:01:22.159 brock neither will barely come to raw or smack down? Yeah, 2103 02:01:22.199 --> 02:01:25.039 you know what, that's another issue. How do you promote 2104 02:01:25.039 --> 02:01:28.760 a match like that when the two guys are barely around. 2105 02:01:29.720 --> 02:01:33.600 This week's episode is sponsored by Express VPN. You know, 2106 02:01:34.000 --> 02:01:37.159 Jaws is the ultimate summer movie, one of the greatest 2107 02:01:37.159 --> 02:01:40.000 movies ever made. It's the fiftieth anniversary this year too, 2108 02:01:40.079 --> 02:01:43.840 of its release. Imagine going scuba diving in those waters 2109 02:01:44.319 --> 02:01:46.720 right now. Imagine going scuba diving in a suit made 2110 02:01:46.760 --> 02:01:50.000 out of meat. That's a good way to become shark food. 2111 02:01:50.680 --> 02:01:53.359 That's what going online with that Express VPN is like. 2112 02:01:54.000 --> 02:01:57.239 Scuba diving in a meat suit. Doesn't sound like the 2113 02:01:57.239 --> 02:02:00.439 smartest idea, does it. Every time you can to a 2114 02:02:00.479 --> 02:02:03.800 network that has no encryption, whether it's at a restaurant, 2115 02:02:03.960 --> 02:02:07.039 at the airport, maybe at your hotel, you need to 2116 02:02:07.079 --> 02:02:10.640 know that your personal data is not secure. Any hacker 2117 02:02:10.680 --> 02:02:13.319 on that same network can gain access to and steal 2118 02:02:13.359 --> 02:02:17.760 your sensitive information like passwords, bank loggins, or credit card details. 2119 02:02:18.279 --> 02:02:20.079 What a pain in that, you know what? That would be? 2120 02:02:20.560 --> 02:02:23.680 Good luck changing all of that, and that's the least 2121 02:02:23.680 --> 02:02:26.000 of your problems. If they make purchases with any of 2122 02:02:26.039 --> 02:02:29.319 your accounts, your data is valuable. Hackers can make up 2123 02:02:29.359 --> 02:02:32.039 to one thousand dollars per person selling your information on 2124 02:02:32.079 --> 02:02:35.920 the dark web. ExpressVPN stops hackers from stealing your data 2125 02:02:35.960 --> 02:02:39.359 by creating a secure, encrypted tunnel between your device and 2126 02:02:39.399 --> 02:02:43.159 the internet.

Jeremy Rose Hayman foreshadowed Brock's return a few 2151 02:04:06.239 --> 02:04:09.600 weeks ago on Raw when he said bron Breaker is 2152 02:04:09.640 --> 02:04:13.119 the next big thing. And I told you this can 2153 02:04:13.199 --> 02:04:17.039 mean Brock against Braun at WrestleMania. I'm not shocked. That's 2154 02:04:17.039 --> 02:04:19.319 not really what that was. I mean he had it 2155 02:04:19.359 --> 02:04:21.560 wasn't just the next big thing. I think the next 2156 02:04:21.560 --> 02:04:25.079 big thing was said the Big Dog. It's like a 2157 02:04:25.079 --> 02:04:28.600 bunch of different nicknames. So I mean that in and 2158 02:04:28.640 --> 02:04:37.159 of itself wasn't really much of a giveaway. Holiday says 2159 02:04:37.159 --> 02:04:40.000 Sena could have worked with Styles again and with newer 2160 02:04:40.079 --> 02:04:43.439 talent like Breaker and Gunther. Brock against Sena is not 2161 02:04:43.560 --> 02:04:47.800 something I need to see again. Last time they wrestled, 2162 02:04:49.359 --> 02:04:51.199 I believe the last time they were in the ring 2163 02:04:51.239 --> 02:04:54.600 together was that triple threat match with Rollins at the 2164 02:04:54.680 --> 02:04:57.840 Royal Rumble and that was an excellent match. But Brock 2165 02:04:59.319 --> 02:05:00.880 he was kind of la out for most of it. 2166 02:05:01.359 --> 02:05:09.399 Then he made the big comeback at the end. Saquan 2167 02:05:10.319 --> 02:05:13.800 chills when Vince walks out on Monday, Monday Night Raw 2168 02:05:13.840 --> 02:05:16.279 and we get the shots of the crowd bowing down 2169 02:05:16.319 --> 02:05:19.039 to him. Well, I'll tell you right now, if Vince 2170 02:05:19.079 --> 02:05:21.359 comes back at some point, you will see these people 2171 02:05:21.359 --> 02:05:24.359 in the crowd bowing to him. Oh, I guarantee it, 2172 02:05:25.359 --> 02:05:31.680 guarantee it. I'll be the first to jump on Amazon 2173 02:05:31.720 --> 02:05:36.239 and buy them some towels for their knees so they 2174 02:05:36.239 --> 02:05:42.600 don't get rugburn. I'll fetex them to them. Johnny Bernie 2175 02:05:43.119 --> 02:05:49.439 says they don't care support other wrestling companies. Yeah, I mean, 2176 02:05:49.479 --> 02:05:57.640 they certainly don't give a shit. That much is clear retro. Koh, 2177 02:05:57.680 --> 02:05:59.239 I guess now we all know why they just so 2178 02:05:59.319 --> 02:06:03.079 happened to end the phony scrums now of all times. Yeah, 2179 02:06:03.119 --> 02:06:06.000 it's funny how that works. It's funny how that works. 2180 02:06:06.520 --> 02:06:15.399 Bobby's World gifted a membership to Tanya. Welcome Tanya uh 2181 02:06:15.479 --> 02:06:19.920 duffs VID's Brock against Sena at Paris. That's what I'm thinking. 2182 02:06:19.960 --> 02:06:24.119 I mean, otherwise it's got to be Paris or Perth. 2183 02:06:24.159 --> 02:06:27.760 I mean, there's no other real logical time to do 2184 02:06:27.800 --> 02:06:29.359 it unless they save it for the end of the year. 2185 02:06:32.279 --> 02:06:36.600 Bass beers as Lessener's return in twenty twelve was insane. 2186 02:06:36.920 --> 02:06:41.119 I marked out well in the building. It was crazy. 2187 02:06:41.720 --> 02:06:45.720 And what was crazier is this was around the time 2188 02:06:45.760 --> 02:06:50.520 that Daniel Bryan started the Yes stuff and I remember 2189 02:06:50.560 --> 02:06:52.439 when that show was over, there was a dark match. 2190 02:06:52.439 --> 02:06:54.119 It was like a ten man tag or a twelve 2191 02:06:54.159 --> 02:06:57.199 man tag because I don't even think he was maybe 2192 02:06:57.279 --> 02:06:59.520 in a backstage segment on the show that night, he 2193 02:06:59.560 --> 02:07:03.159 wasn't even raw, but he came out and I have it. 2194 02:07:03.479 --> 02:07:05.520 I recorded it on my phone, like everybody in the 2195 02:07:05.520 --> 02:07:07.720 building is doing this, and it was like the first 2196 02:07:07.760 --> 02:07:10.960 time that I really saw that, and it was like 2197 02:07:11.000 --> 02:07:13.880 a dark segment and I was like, holy shit. So yeah, 2198 02:07:13.880 --> 02:07:20.279 the crowd in Miami that night was insane. Jack Davis, 2199 02:07:20.560 --> 02:07:23.119 I wonder how Triple H explains to the female talent 2200 02:07:23.159 --> 02:07:26.000 about bringing Brock back. I feel like they at least 2201 02:07:26.000 --> 02:07:30.600 deserve an explanation from him or Nick con I don't 2202 02:07:30.680 --> 02:07:33.800 think that they share your opinion. I don't think they 2203 02:07:33.840 --> 02:07:40.359 give a shit. I really don't but just in case, 2204 02:07:40.359 --> 02:07:42.760 they should probably just make sure the door is locked 2205 02:07:42.760 --> 02:07:46.159 when they go to the bathroom. Holiday one ninety seven. 2206 02:07:46.199 --> 02:07:49.039 I think they're sowing the seeds of Cody turning heel 2207 02:07:49.159 --> 02:07:52.479 with the pile driver on Sina Orton would have to 2208 02:07:52.479 --> 02:07:56.000 be an extreme heel. Otherwise, in a program with Cody, 2209 02:07:56.039 --> 02:07:59.159 for the fans to turn on Randy, he would be 2210 02:07:59.680 --> 02:08:04.079 and I think that he still can be. I'm intrigued 2211 02:08:04.079 --> 02:08:08.000 by the possibility of heel Cody and babyface Randy. I 2212 02:08:08.079 --> 02:08:12.279 just still think it's very stupid to turn Cody. I 2213 02:08:12.319 --> 02:08:14.000 still just don't think it's the right time for that. 2214 02:08:21.159 --> 02:08:26.600 Justin g All Hail Taller Tonga, Bigger than Tonga Loa 2215 02:08:29.800 --> 02:08:33.479 nash DTV s up Solo SummerSlam was a low B 2216 02:08:33.720 --> 02:08:35.680 grade show for me on both nights. I hope you 2217 02:08:35.760 --> 02:08:37.840 have a good night. I hope you have a good 2218 02:08:37.920 --> 02:08:40.000 night as well. I think you and I are in agreement. 2219 02:08:40.319 --> 02:08:44.319 I have it at a BEE. I have it at 2220 02:08:44.319 --> 02:08:48.800 a B for both nights. And to go back to 2221 02:08:48.800 --> 02:08:52.520 the pile driver, the pile driver, I didn't read anything 2222 02:08:52.560 --> 02:08:54.399 into the pile driver. I don't think the pile driver 2223 02:08:54.479 --> 02:08:56.760 has anything to do with him going heel. I think 2224 02:08:56.800 --> 02:09:02.560 you're looking for something that isn't there. Nash also says, 2225 02:09:02.880 --> 02:09:06.880 are you good at wrestling impersonations? Can you give us 2226 02:09:06.920 --> 02:09:12.760 your best one? I'm not. I'm not. I've done my 2227 02:09:12.880 --> 02:09:17.600 Russo before. But other wrestlers, there's other people who are 2228 02:09:17.600 --> 02:09:25.039 far better at impersonations than me. Darth Panic says, is 2229 02:09:25.119 --> 02:09:27.880 wwe going to get to a point where all pls 2230 02:09:28.000 --> 02:09:31.039 are two nights? Not all of them, but you're gonna 2231 02:09:31.039 --> 02:09:33.279 see rumble, You're gonna see money in the bank. I 2232 02:09:33.319 --> 02:09:37.000 think within a few years Survivor series, you could do it. 2233 02:09:37.000 --> 02:09:39.159 With Survivor series. You could have two nights for two 2234 02:09:39.199 --> 02:09:42.720 wargames matches where there is money to be made. If 2235 02:09:42.760 --> 02:09:46.359 they feel like the market is there for that, they 2236 02:09:46.399 --> 02:09:50.159 will do it. I mean they are in money making 2237 02:09:50.199 --> 02:09:53.760 mode more so now than ever. Even if it's detrimental 2238 02:09:53.840 --> 02:09:56.640 to the on air product, they can make money off it, 2239 02:09:56.640 --> 02:09:59.760 They're gonna do it. Jeremy says, any thoughts on the 2240 02:09:59.840 --> 02:10:04.560 Zio Rakkeishi beef not really. It's kind of sad that 2241 02:10:05.439 --> 02:10:08.000 all of that is being litigated publicly like that, so 2242 02:10:08.319 --> 02:10:12.520 probably should be taken private. But that's that's between two 2243 02:10:12.640 --> 02:10:19.560 family members. You know Zilla's father, Umaga is Rakishi's brother, 2244 02:10:23.800 --> 02:10:26.119 and frankly, I haven't really been following all the comments. 2245 02:10:26.159 --> 02:10:28.399 I think Mozilla's mom made some kind I haven't even 2246 02:10:28.399 --> 02:10:34.399 been following all of it. Def sithe. Unless wwe can 2247 02:10:34.479 --> 02:10:37.239 get Stone Cold Steve Austin to be John Cena's final opponent, 2248 02:10:37.279 --> 02:10:39.640 which I doubt, then it is safe to say that 2249 02:10:39.680 --> 02:10:43.279 this retirement tour has been a bigger botch since the invasion. 2250 02:10:43.319 --> 02:10:53.760 Angle John Cena and Stone Cold in Sena's retirement match. 2251 02:10:53.880 --> 02:10:56.319 You think Sena? You think Austin is going to come 2252 02:10:56.359 --> 02:10:59.000 back just to lose to John Cena in his retirement match. 2253 02:11:06.000 --> 02:11:10.840 Nick Grosso, what does Ria and EO do now? Maybe 2254 02:11:10.880 --> 02:11:12.880 they team up for a bit and feud with Oscar 2255 02:11:13.000 --> 02:11:16.359 and Kyrie, because these Oscar segments have to be going somewhere. 2256 02:11:17.119 --> 02:11:20.079 I would think that the Oscar stuff, it's been like 2257 02:11:20.119 --> 02:11:23.880 these little subtle hints about maybe her and EO having 2258 02:11:24.119 --> 02:11:29.199 some sort of issue. You know, if you're going to 2259 02:11:29.239 --> 02:11:30.880 do a tag team thing with Ria for a month 2260 02:11:30.920 --> 02:11:34.159 or two, I guess that's fine. But she's too big 2261 02:11:34.199 --> 02:11:36.399 to be stuck in a tag team, Like she's too 2262 02:11:36.439 --> 02:11:38.760 big of a star to just be stuck in a 2263 02:11:38.800 --> 02:11:47.520 tag team for months on end Asia twenty dollars super chat. 2264 02:11:47.680 --> 02:11:51.359 Just to thank you for your review. Thank you, my friend. 2265 02:11:51.880 --> 02:11:58.119 I appreciate you very much. That means a lot, Holliday, 2266 02:11:58.119 --> 02:12:00.279 says Cody versus scene. It turned out to be better 2267 02:12:00.319 --> 02:12:02.840 than I expected. The Scena heel turned ruined the big 2268 02:12:02.880 --> 02:12:05.760 fight feel of their WrestleMania match, and Sina was less 2269 02:12:05.760 --> 02:12:08.960 spirited and more worn in his performance. Night two to 2270 02:12:09.119 --> 02:12:12.760 one by a mile. Well, if I was gonna compare 2271 02:12:12.800 --> 02:12:15.640 the two nights as similar as they are, I enjoyed 2272 02:12:15.640 --> 02:12:17.640 the main and I like the main event on Night 2273 02:12:17.680 --> 02:12:21.159 one with Gunther and Punk, but I enjoyed the main 2274 02:12:21.159 --> 02:12:23.479 event on Night two more so. Night two gets the 2275 02:12:23.520 --> 02:12:29.399 nod for me, but only slightly. Terrible. Dried Chicken says 2276 02:12:29.439 --> 02:12:32.239 John Cena. Heel Run should have been the easiest task 2277 02:12:32.359 --> 02:12:34.880 to do in pro wrestling, seen as Heel Run was 2278 02:12:34.880 --> 02:12:41.760 more dried chicken than me. It's pretty dry, uh, doctor Scorpio. 2279 02:12:41.800 --> 02:12:46.680 I'm willing to wager Naomi beats Vicaire in Paris. Yeah, 2280 02:12:46.720 --> 02:12:53.000 I mean, she's she's got to be the favorite. Prince 2281 02:12:53.039 --> 02:12:56.760 Vegeta twenty one months in membership, This rollins punk Stuff 2282 02:12:56.800 --> 02:12:59.279 needs to end. They are trying to make this an 2283 02:12:59.279 --> 02:13:01.479 all time few, but it's just not doing it for me. 2284 02:13:01.640 --> 02:13:05.600 Punkin McIntyre was better in my opinion. Yeah, I mean, 2285 02:13:05.640 --> 02:13:07.760 if you want to compare the two, Punkin McIntyre was 2286 02:13:07.760 --> 02:13:13.560 great at least this one though, like it does have 2287 02:13:13.600 --> 02:13:15.479 an element that a lot of feuds don't have, where 2288 02:13:15.520 --> 02:13:17.760 you can you can buy into the idea that these 2289 02:13:17.760 --> 02:13:24.239 two really don't like each other. Duff's VIDs. How come 2290 02:13:24.319 --> 02:13:38.439 you can't trust trains? They have locomotives they do Nick 2291 02:13:38.479 --> 02:13:42.800 Grosso nineteen ninety nine, just like Duffs. Maybe they could 2292 02:13:42.800 --> 02:13:46.680 be attack team. I'm not surprised Becky retained because I 2293 02:13:46.760 --> 02:13:49.159 knew where they were going. Bailey plays a role in 2294 02:13:49.279 --> 02:13:51.560 Lyra losing. She's out of the way for now, and 2295 02:13:51.600 --> 02:13:55.520 now we get Becky versus Bailey. Then we get Bailey 2296 02:13:55.600 --> 02:14:01.920 versus Lyra with Bailey dropping the title. We'll see that's 2297 02:14:01.960 --> 02:14:03.399 the only way she's gonna get her hands on that 2298 02:14:03.399 --> 02:14:06.800 title now, so better hope that's the way it works out. 2299 02:14:09.800 --> 02:14:13.800 Cobalt Jones, thank you for the membership. Duff's viz. Why 2300 02:14:13.840 --> 02:14:16.760 can't a tomato win a race? It can't catch up, 2301 02:14:19.319 --> 02:14:26.279 it can't catch up death side. Also, speaking of Sina 2302 02:14:26.279 --> 02:14:28.520 and Austin, it is also safe to say Austin's heel 2303 02:14:28.560 --> 02:14:30.840 turn in two thousand and one was far more entertaining 2304 02:14:30.880 --> 02:14:35.439 than Sina's heel turned in twenty twenty five. Entertaining absolutely, 2305 02:14:37.239 --> 02:14:41.960 it was much more entertaining. Duff'svid says, I really love 2306 02:14:42.199 --> 02:14:51.920 pizza from my head to Motoes, I like see I 2307 02:14:52.000 --> 02:14:56.560 like that one. That's my favorite one so far, from 2308 02:14:56.600 --> 02:15:00.479 my head and to Motoes Holiday one night twenty seven. 2309 02:15:00.520 --> 02:15:02.600 Where does this your summer slam rate? Out of all 2310 02:15:02.760 --> 02:15:05.199 summer slam paper? Oh? I don't dude, Come on, man, 2311 02:15:06.840 --> 02:15:09.800 there's been like thirty something SummerSlam. Is this? This is 2312 02:15:09.840 --> 02:15:15.319 not even in my top ten? Night two alone would 2313 02:15:15.319 --> 02:15:17.319 be up there for me, but Night one brings it down. 2314 02:15:17.359 --> 02:15:19.359 This could have been a one night show with Gunther 2315 02:15:19.520 --> 02:15:21.279 versus punk dude. I don't even think it's in my 2316 02:15:21.359 --> 02:15:32.119 top ten. But where exactly it ranks? I have no idea? 2317 02:15:34.039 --> 02:15:49.600 Doves VIDs? What do you call your grandma on speed dial? Instagram? Instagram? 2318 02:15:49.760 --> 02:15:56.760 Bass beerus with a five dollars super chat felt somber 2319 02:15:56.920 --> 02:16:00.800 seeing Jeff he should be way bigger than he is. 2320 02:16:00.880 --> 02:16:02.920 He could have had it all. Glad he's at least 2321 02:16:03.000 --> 02:16:07.359 doing okay today. He's referring to Jeff Hardy, who was 2322 02:16:07.399 --> 02:16:11.399 in the crowd with his brother watching the show. You know, 2323 02:16:11.520 --> 02:16:14.960 considering his his history and all the issues he's had. 2324 02:16:16.600 --> 02:16:18.279 If you're a Jeff Hardy fan, I think that you 2325 02:16:18.319 --> 02:16:22.239 should just be content that he is doing well. You know, 2326 02:16:22.359 --> 02:16:25.560 he's doing well in TNA, He's still wrestling and seems 2327 02:16:25.600 --> 02:16:28.199 to be doing well. Otherwise. It's about as good as 2328 02:16:28.199 --> 02:16:30.439 you can hope for. Could he have been much bigger, 2329 02:16:30.439 --> 02:16:34.399 of course, but you know, again, he's got nobody to 2330 02:16:34.399 --> 02:16:42.520 blame for that but himself, the sheriff of Patties. When 2331 02:16:42.559 --> 02:16:46.920 life pulls me away from wrestling, your shows keep me informed, entertained, 2332 02:16:46.959 --> 02:16:49.479 and always bring me back to watching. Still the best 2333 02:16:49.479 --> 02:16:52.200 in the biz. M That's what I love to hear, 2334 02:16:53.680 --> 02:17:02.000 Thank you, gold Dust, respector love that Becky is embracing 2335 02:17:02.040 --> 02:17:04.639 the Becky Hogan things so much. Her entrance video was 2336 02:17:04.680 --> 02:17:06.799 all yellow and red. You know, I didn't even notice that. 2337 02:17:07.440 --> 02:17:09.360 I was just so focused on the new music. I 2338 02:17:09.399 --> 02:17:12.959 wasn't even really paying attention to what was on the screens. 2339 02:17:14.440 --> 02:17:19.520 Duff's VIDs with a nineteen ninety nine Why did the 2340 02:17:19.520 --> 02:17:25.600 one handed man cross the road to get to the 2341 02:17:25.680 --> 02:17:35.600 second hand store? Hmm, not bad, but I liked the 2342 02:17:35.680 --> 02:17:44.959 last one more. Arnold PJ. You would dislike Lyra and 2343 02:17:45.000 --> 02:17:48.079 Becky's match even more as I did if you would 2344 02:17:48.120 --> 02:17:52.159 notice that Lyra got free after she first avoided a 2345 02:17:52.239 --> 02:17:54.719 manhandle slam on the chairs, and then she quickly put 2346 02:17:54.760 --> 02:17:58.920 her hands together. You know what, I I did not 2347 02:17:59.079 --> 02:18:04.479 catch that. Then she quickly put her hands together again. Wow, 2348 02:18:05.159 --> 02:18:06.920 I have to go back and take a look at that. Now, 2349 02:18:07.959 --> 02:18:13.280 that's just awful. Again. I know what they were going for, 2350 02:18:13.399 --> 02:18:16.600 but it just all it really did was hinder the match. 2351 02:18:16.639 --> 02:18:18.639 Honestly didn't. It didn't enhance the match or make it 2352 02:18:18.680 --> 02:18:24.680 better at all. Duffsvids. How do you get a smoking 2353 02:18:24.760 --> 02:18:37.920 hot body as a senior citizen god cremation? That's terrible, terrible, true, 2354 02:18:37.639 --> 02:18:43.920 but terrible. Bender mc simpson. Uh. The Women's Triple Threat 2355 02:18:43.959 --> 02:18:46.639 and AJ and DOM were the best parts of the weekend, 2356 02:18:46.760 --> 02:18:49.879 But this weekend was an l random question. Where do 2357 02:18:49.920 --> 02:18:54.639 you rank the Hull Cogan diamond shaped WWF title belt? 2358 02:18:57.799 --> 02:19:03.280 Are we talking about the Hogan eighty six belt? The 2359 02:19:04.239 --> 02:19:08.479 Hogan belt that he had at WrestleMania three. I liked 2360 02:19:08.479 --> 02:19:12.600 that belt, so he had it from eighty six and 2361 02:19:12.680 --> 02:19:17.319 to eighty seven. That belt I liked. I assume that's 2362 02:19:17.360 --> 02:19:22.200 the diamond belt. That's the one you're referring to. There 2363 02:19:22.239 --> 02:19:24.079 was another one that was a little bit smaller that 2364 02:19:24.159 --> 02:19:28.079 he had, like an eighty five. That one's okay. I 2365 02:19:28.120 --> 02:19:30.239 wasn't like a I really wasn't like a huge fan 2366 02:19:30.280 --> 02:19:37.879 of that one though. Bass Beers says, we don't get 2367 02:19:38.000 --> 02:19:45.120 enough Number one Contenders matches on ples. I think they 2368 02:19:45.959 --> 02:19:50.559 belong on TV. You save your biggest matches for the pls. 2369 02:19:51.360 --> 02:19:53.639 I mean, you could do Number one Contenders matches every 2370 02:19:53.639 --> 02:19:56.879 now and then, but you gotta save something for TV. 2371 02:19:57.840 --> 02:20:01.879 It's so many freaking hours of TV. I want some 2372 02:20:01.959 --> 02:20:07.600 matches that mean something. Athletic Geek eighty nine. Do you 2373 02:20:07.600 --> 02:20:09.959 think that Brock coming back will be bad PR for 2374 02:20:10.120 --> 02:20:18.600 WWE and TKO? As bad as this may sound, do 2375 02:20:18.639 --> 02:20:21.159 you think it matters? I appreciate hearing your take. Love 2376 02:20:21.200 --> 02:20:25.079 the show. Is it going to be bad PR for them? Yes? 2377 02:20:26.479 --> 02:20:31.920 Is it going to matter? No? No, Because here's the 2378 02:20:31.959 --> 02:20:33.840 reality of it. For all the people that you're going 2379 02:20:33.879 --> 02:20:36.159 to see on social media who are very upset that 2380 02:20:36.319 --> 02:20:39.639 WWE would bring Brock back when things are still very 2381 02:20:39.760 --> 02:20:43.600 unsettled when it comes to all that stuff, The majority 2382 02:20:43.639 --> 02:20:47.719 of fans, they don't care. The majority of WWE fans 2383 02:20:47.760 --> 02:20:52.600 probably are not even aware of the situation, and even 2384 02:20:52.639 --> 02:20:56.799 if they are, I would say more than not, don't 2385 02:20:56.799 --> 02:21:03.559 give a shit. You want a realistic reality take on it. 2386 02:21:03.600 --> 02:21:06.760 That's the reality of the situation. So to answer your 2387 02:21:06.840 --> 02:21:13.399 question doesn't matter. No, it's not going to affect their 2388 02:21:13.440 --> 02:21:21.600 business one iota. So they don't care. Uh Duff's VIDs. 2389 02:21:21.639 --> 02:21:25.360 Why did the belt and the suspenders go to jail? 2390 02:21:26.440 --> 02:21:37.799 They both held up a pair of pants. Jeremy Rose 2391 02:21:38.280 --> 02:21:44.280 exorbitant prices, two nights, lazy, creative until fans stop shelling 2392 02:21:44.360 --> 02:21:46.319 out the money. This is what we are going to 2393 02:21:46.399 --> 02:21:58.760 get going forward. Yes, but Jeremy, it's it's cinema. Larry 2394 02:21:58.840 --> 02:22:02.319 Jester has seen a call his rocker dropper the Seeneasser. 2395 02:22:06.239 --> 02:22:09.360 I don't think so. I've never heard him use that name. 2396 02:22:10.600 --> 02:22:13.399 And now it's too late. He's retiring, so now it's 2397 02:22:13.399 --> 02:22:16.000 too late for him to start calling it that. Bace beers. 2398 02:22:16.000 --> 02:22:21.600 We need more backstage segments on Ples. Well, I mean, 2399 02:22:21.680 --> 02:22:30.559 especially when you have twenty minutes in between matches. Debt 2400 02:22:30.639 --> 02:22:33.639 sithe the only Samoan Jacob fought too should be in 2401 02:22:33.680 --> 02:22:36.920 a program with his Roman reigns. Hopefully it WrestleMania of 2402 02:22:36.959 --> 02:22:41.520 forty two. We need to get that match at some point. 2403 02:22:42.319 --> 02:22:47.319 I do agree. Derek J. Speaks fans were chanting we 2404 02:22:47.360 --> 02:22:50.159 want Cross on the post show, Triple H thought they 2405 02:22:50.159 --> 02:22:54.040 were saying we want Brock. Is this the definition of 2406 02:22:54.159 --> 02:23:00.760 tone depth? They hear what they want to hear. They 2407 02:23:00.799 --> 02:23:10.360 hear what they want to hear, King Nader. I enjoyed tonight, 2408 02:23:10.440 --> 02:23:12.959 and I think I missed John Cena as a baby face. 2409 02:23:13.000 --> 02:23:16.440 I popped for him for his entrance even though I 2410 02:23:16.479 --> 02:23:19.440 knew it was coming best Sena that I have seen 2411 02:23:19.600 --> 02:23:34.920 in years. Anobie mL Hello Solo. Could Sokoa's MFT be 2412 02:23:35.040 --> 02:23:40.440 the new Learning Tree? Oh my god, I think it 2413 02:23:40.479 --> 02:23:48.360 already is not nearly as annoying, though also a wild 2414 02:23:49.040 --> 02:23:51.879 Nick con appears during the Sena Lesnar moment. Yeah, he 2415 02:23:51.959 --> 02:23:55.280 was right in the front row, right at the corner 2416 02:23:55.319 --> 02:23:57.840 of the aisleway. That's usually where he is when he 2417 02:23:57.879 --> 02:24:03.719 shows up. Uh Duff's viz. What do you call a 2418 02:24:03.760 --> 02:24:19.799 funny mountain hilarious? What do you call a funny mountain hilarious? Okay? 2419 02:24:21.959 --> 02:24:24.879 I once loved two girls at a time. Their names 2420 02:24:24.879 --> 02:24:29.840 were Kate and Edith. I learned what they say is true. 2421 02:24:30.120 --> 02:24:39.559 Can have Kate and Edith too? Oh boy, your suck 2422 02:24:45.559 --> 02:24:49.600 Bobby's world. Thank you for the gifted membership to JL. 2423 02:24:50.959 --> 02:24:55.719 Justin g with two gifted memberships, Fabian Garcia. I heard 2424 02:24:55.719 --> 02:24:58.559 you were rooting for Miz at WrestleMania twenty seven from 2425 02:24:58.680 --> 02:25:04.399 wrestle Talks Nexus video Allie named you. Is this true? 2426 02:25:05.120 --> 02:25:08.239 I was rooting for the Miz at WrestleMania twenty seven. 2427 02:25:16.760 --> 02:25:22.200 Link me to the video. I certainly wasn't cheering for 2428 02:25:22.239 --> 02:25:28.879 that main event Wolf nine Deuce, although missus intro video 2429 02:25:29.000 --> 02:25:37.799 on that show to NAS was quite awesome. Wolf says, 2430 02:25:37.799 --> 02:25:40.319 how about a salute to you, my brother? Well, I'm 2431 02:25:40.319 --> 02:25:51.319 gonna salute you right back, mutual salute my friend Duff's viz. 2432 02:25:51.360 --> 02:25:56.159 Why don't roosters wear underwear? Their peckers are on their 2433 02:25:56.200 --> 02:26:08.000 face down bad. Even before the lawsuit stuff, I stopped 2434 02:26:08.040 --> 02:26:11.200 caring about LESNAR a long time ago. Great main event 2435 02:26:11.280 --> 02:26:17.159 though it was, it was a great main event. Don't 2436 02:26:17.200 --> 02:26:19.440 forget we got two rounds coming up. Man of be 2437 02:26:19.520 --> 02:26:26.559 the booker. We got two shit. I might go three 2438 02:26:26.639 --> 02:26:30.520 if a fucking gigantic bomb gets drop. Super Pony says, 2439 02:26:30.680 --> 02:26:38.319 fien fien fien, fien, fien fien fien, And here I 2440 02:26:38.399 --> 02:26:43.360 was hoping not to hear it. Tonight, Pisco ninety five 2441 02:26:43.520 --> 02:26:46.600 wrestling is so fascinating. Two guys can have a shitty match, 2442 02:26:46.760 --> 02:26:48.319 but put them in the ring again, and now they 2443 02:26:48.319 --> 02:26:51.200 have a Match of the Year contender. Too bad. Brock's 2444 02:26:51.280 --> 02:26:57.440 return is going to overshadow SNA passing the torch. Yeah, 2445 02:26:57.719 --> 02:27:04.399 well pretty much torch at that moment. Uh got Enigma 2446 02:27:04.600 --> 02:27:09.639 three sixteen. Can't wait until everybody says this is an 2447 02:27:09.639 --> 02:27:17.840 eighty seven percent ple like good little drones. No percentages 2448 02:27:17.879 --> 02:27:24.719 on this one, A B, C or D. Jeremy Rose says, 2449 02:27:24.799 --> 02:27:29.920 Drew Cody in Paris, Ah, Drew. That's right, Drew is 2450 02:27:29.920 --> 02:27:32.680 on SmackDown. Drew McIntyre and Cody Rhodes could be the 2451 02:27:32.719 --> 02:27:39.760 next program. I am down for that. I am down 2452 02:27:39.760 --> 02:27:45.280 for that. Matt Fisher, you could say that I can't 2453 02:27:45.280 --> 02:27:49.120 think of any puns. You could say that I can't 2454 02:27:49.159 --> 02:28:01.200 think of any puns well, thank you anyway, Matt appreciate 2455 02:28:01.239 --> 02:28:06.280 the love the Juliet with the twenty five says, what 2456 02:28:06.760 --> 02:28:10.200 I say about Brock's return would be censored by YouTube 2457 02:28:10.520 --> 02:28:12.719 in this super chat. I wonder if seeing a politic 2458 02:28:12.760 --> 02:28:16.559 to have Brock returned to have one last match with Brock. Yeah, 2459 02:28:16.559 --> 02:28:19.920 I don't see scene a politicking for any specific opponent. 2460 02:28:20.159 --> 02:28:24.319 So the answer on that is now, brock Lesnar is 2461 02:28:24.360 --> 02:28:27.879 not back because John Cena lobby to have brock Lesnar back. 2462 02:28:31.680 --> 02:28:35.239 I just I can't see that. I just don't think 2463 02:28:35.280 --> 02:28:38.360 he would get involved in that, you know, throw himself 2464 02:28:38.360 --> 02:28:47.319 into that. Mactubb says better overall performer Punk or Jericho. 2465 02:28:49.000 --> 02:28:56.559 Oh man, I mean we're not just talking about right now. Okay, 2466 02:28:57.680 --> 02:29:05.520 let's assume we're not just referring to, like right now, Jericho. 2467 02:29:09.559 --> 02:29:15.120 Justin g two gifted memberships. Let's keep racking them up. Man, 2468 02:29:16.000 --> 02:29:18.879 there's a number I'm trying to get back to rack 2469 02:29:18.920 --> 02:29:26.040 him up, King Nator with ten. That'll help. Thank you, 2470 02:29:26.120 --> 02:29:32.239 King Nator for the gifted memberships. Death Site thirteen dollars. 2471 02:29:32.280 --> 02:29:36.000 Super chest Sena passed the torch to Cody. I thought 2472 02:29:36.000 --> 02:29:38.799 Cody already had the torch when he beat Roman at WrestleMania. 2473 02:29:38.840 --> 02:29:42.159 Since Roman had already replaced Sena as the face of WWE, 2474 02:29:42.760 --> 02:29:45.479 and now Cody has replaced Roman. Yes, but Roman is 2475 02:29:45.520 --> 02:29:47.280 not the one that they refer to as the greatest 2476 02:29:47.280 --> 02:29:50.280 of all time. When he comes out the idea that 2477 02:29:50.360 --> 02:29:54.799 Sena is the goat. It's not my goat, but to them, 2478 02:29:54.840 --> 02:30:00.120 he's the goat. Cody has now beaten the goat and 2479 02:30:00.159 --> 02:30:02.360 Sina hands the title to him. It's like a passing 2480 02:30:02.399 --> 02:30:07.120 of the torch. I always laughter wrestle Many at eighteen 2481 02:30:07.159 --> 02:30:09.360 when they said that Hogan was passing the torch to 2482 02:30:09.440 --> 02:30:12.040 the Rock. Meanwhile the Rock, it was two thousand and two. 2483 02:30:13.280 --> 02:30:14.959 Rock's already on his way out. He's starting to do 2484 02:30:15.040 --> 02:30:25.079 movies in Hollywood passing the torch. Zizo zanc good moments, 2485 02:30:25.120 --> 02:30:27.520 but SummerSlam was not worth two nights of my time 2486 02:30:27.559 --> 02:30:30.399 as a fan. Keep SummerSlam one night. But I understand 2487 02:30:30.520 --> 02:30:41.000 WWE is money over quality. Yeah, yeah again punkin Jericho, Man, 2488 02:30:41.120 --> 02:30:44.000 I just I go back with Jericho. I go all 2489 02:30:44.000 --> 02:30:47.399 the way back to the cruiserweight stuff and the conspiracy 2490 02:30:47.440 --> 02:30:50.680 theory stuff in WCW. And you know the list of 2491 02:30:50.680 --> 02:30:52.959 one thousand and four Holt. He's been able to like 2492 02:30:53.000 --> 02:30:57.719 reinvent himself in different ways over these past few decades 2493 02:30:58.959 --> 02:31:03.159 where he's been consistently entertaining up to a point, he's 2494 02:31:03.159 --> 02:31:06.680 been consistently entertaining while also being able to go out 2495 02:31:06.680 --> 02:31:09.440 there and have these great matches that he's had. So, 2496 02:31:09.840 --> 02:31:13.799 you know, with Punk it's close, but I just got 2497 02:31:13.840 --> 02:31:16.959 to give Jericho the edge on that Punk. Punk has 2498 02:31:17.000 --> 02:31:18.680 something that a lot of people don't have when it 2499 02:31:18.680 --> 02:31:22.680 comes to the promos he cuts. Because Jericho was never 2500 02:31:22.719 --> 02:31:27.280 a bad promo. I would give Punk the edge on promos. 2501 02:31:27.319 --> 02:31:31.920 He had a certain again authenticity to him that a 2502 02:31:31.920 --> 02:31:34.159 lot of people don't have. But when I look at 2503 02:31:34.200 --> 02:31:38.840 the whole package, just I give Jericho the slight edge. 2504 02:31:42.319 --> 02:31:44.319 Jacob says, I was there and I couldn't help but 2505 02:31:44.399 --> 02:31:48.360 cheer for Supersena over Cody. Seeing John Cena run down 2506 02:31:48.360 --> 02:31:57.040 the ramp made me feel like a kid again. Matt Fisher, 2507 02:32:00.719 --> 02:32:04.920 j C should win the Intercontinental title. I don't think 2508 02:32:04.920 --> 02:32:07.479 he's ever held it. Oh, JC got I thought you 2509 02:32:07.520 --> 02:32:12.200 were talking about j C. Matteo. I'm like, it's kind 2510 02:32:12.200 --> 02:32:16.159 of random. You say, Jason, we have a JC on 2511 02:32:16.200 --> 02:32:24.040 the roster. You gotta specify these things, man. John Cena 2512 02:32:24.079 --> 02:32:27.600 should win the Intercontinental title. I don't think he's ever 2513 02:32:27.639 --> 02:32:30.760 held it. Actually, he said win the IC title. Sir? 2514 02:32:30.959 --> 02:32:33.600 Do you think John Cena should win the women's Intercontinental 2515 02:32:33.639 --> 02:32:39.399 title as well? Just give him both. John Cena is 2516 02:32:39.440 --> 02:32:42.319 not going to waste his last nine appearances going after 2517 02:32:42.360 --> 02:32:46.520 the Intercontinental Championship after he just lost the WWE Championship. 2518 02:32:46.600 --> 02:32:50.079 So it's not happening. I can't tell you how many 2519 02:32:50.079 --> 02:32:51.760 people always bring that up to me, and do you 2520 02:32:51.760 --> 02:32:55.360 think that? Do you think they'll do this? Should they do? Like? No, no, 2521 02:32:56.799 --> 02:32:59.840 if he wasn't retiring, then maybe, but no, the time 2522 02:32:59.840 --> 02:33:04.520 for that is long gone. It's over, it's done. It's 2523 02:33:04.600 --> 02:33:11.360 beneath him. Owen Curtis, first time in eleven years that 2524 02:33:11.520 --> 02:33:16.559 WWE title has changed hands at SummerSlam. That's an interesting stat. 2525 02:33:23.399 --> 02:33:27.520 Jesus Christ should win the Icy though. Okay, so in 2526 02:33:27.559 --> 02:33:29.600 that one super chat we have, j C could be 2527 02:33:29.680 --> 02:33:32.680 John Cena should win the Intercontinental title. J C. Matteo 2528 02:33:32.799 --> 02:33:38.280 or Jesus Christ. I don't know. I don't think Jesus 2529 02:33:38.280 --> 02:33:42.639 needs it. I feel like he's probably a little bit 2530 02:33:42.639 --> 02:33:52.600 above the Intercontinental title. Owen Curtis. Last time was Sena 2531 02:33:52.719 --> 02:33:59.239 versus Brock history overlaps. Wow. So this is the first 2532 02:33:59.280 --> 02:34:04.159 time since Brock beat Sena that the WWE title has 2533 02:34:04.239 --> 02:34:08.879 changed hands at Summersley? Is that true? That sounds impossible 2534 02:34:08.920 --> 02:34:18.479 to me. Mactub buy or Sell two thousand, Triple h 2535 02:34:18.559 --> 02:34:23.000 Or nineteen ninety seven, Brett nineteen ninety seven, Brett abyssle 2536 02:34:23.120 --> 02:34:26.559 zones By Sell rent On in Ring Chemistry, Rock Austin 2537 02:34:26.840 --> 02:34:31.440 Rock Triple H or Austin Triple H by On Rock Austin, 2538 02:34:32.639 --> 02:34:38.200 rent On Rock Triple H, Sell On Austin Triple H. 2539 02:34:38.639 --> 02:34:46.120 All three were great, but that's how I'm ranking them. 2540 02:34:46.159 --> 02:34:48.680 Thunder Force. I think WWE wants see it to get 2541 02:34:48.680 --> 02:34:51.079 a big win over Brock. While he did beat him 2542 02:34:51.079 --> 02:34:53.879 at Extreme Rules in twenty twelve, Brock dominated him in 2543 02:34:53.920 --> 02:34:56.760 that match. What do you think is gonna happen this time? 2544 02:34:59.520 --> 02:35:01.120 What do you think I think is going to happen 2545 02:35:01.159 --> 02:35:04.520 this time? Do you think that Brock Lesnar is coming 2546 02:35:04.559 --> 02:35:06.440 back to go in there and do what to get 2547 02:35:06.440 --> 02:35:10.840 his ass kick for eighty percent of the match. It 2548 02:35:10.920 --> 02:35:13.520 still bothers me that Brock lost that match by the way, 2549 02:35:14.239 --> 02:35:16.760 first fucking match back and he loses to John Cena. 2550 02:35:22.399 --> 02:35:27.520 We got j F Dubie or dube. Am I the 2551 02:35:27.520 --> 02:35:31.719 only one pissed about l A. Knight's treatment? No, I 2552 02:35:31.760 --> 02:35:33.559 mean there's a lot of people who were upset about that. 2553 02:35:33.680 --> 02:35:35.280 I mean, the fact that they couldn't find a spot 2554 02:35:35.280 --> 02:35:37.440 for him on the show is pretty ridiculous. But now 2555 02:35:38.040 --> 02:35:41.280 that Seth Rollins is the champion, LA Knight should be 2556 02:35:41.479 --> 02:35:43.799 challenging him in Paris for that title because he has 2557 02:35:43.799 --> 02:35:45.760 a win over him from Saturday Nights made event. That 2558 02:35:45.799 --> 02:35:47.879 should be the world heavyweight title match in Paris at 2559 02:35:47.879 --> 02:35:58.920 the end of the month. We got Leolio is with 2560 02:35:59.079 --> 02:36:05.479 us five months. Just call me Leo. Well, I wish 2561 02:36:05.520 --> 02:36:09.680 I would have read that first. Okay, well, I will 2562 02:36:09.680 --> 02:36:12.000 do that. Just call me Leo, he says. Bringing Brock 2563 02:36:12.079 --> 02:36:15.719 back just reeks of creative bankruptcy. Aside from a couple 2564 02:36:15.799 --> 02:36:20.440 of matches, this was pretty boring. Yeah, that's why I say. 2565 02:36:20.479 --> 02:36:23.479 I mean, it's certainly not a top ten SummerSlam for me. 2566 02:36:26.840 --> 02:36:29.040 I'm willing to go as high as a solid B 2567 02:36:29.479 --> 02:36:36.840 for both nights. That's about it. I mean, I have standards. 2568 02:36:39.799 --> 02:36:43.440 Kevin Brock and Sena should just play a friendly game. 2569 02:36:43.479 --> 02:36:45.879 Of mini golf for the main event of the next 2570 02:36:45.920 --> 02:36:50.399 pl e with Fien French version playing in the background. 2571 02:36:50.559 --> 02:37:00.840 Is a French version of Fen? Really? Yeah? Maybe Brock 2572 02:37:00.879 --> 02:37:03.319 and Scenic could have some kind of competition other than 2573 02:37:03.360 --> 02:37:10.760 just a wrestling match, could do musical chairs like they 2574 02:37:10.760 --> 02:37:18.680 did on that one episode of Raw Peanut Butter Shelley 2575 02:37:19.360 --> 02:37:22.239 with the nine ninety nine, I feel it is gross 2576 02:37:22.440 --> 02:37:24.959 Brock got brought back. But just FYI to all the 2577 02:37:25.000 --> 02:37:30.239 people saying, watch aw, they brought back Rick Flair for 2578 02:37:30.360 --> 02:37:35.840 Sting's retirement after he had very gross allegations, bad all around. 2579 02:37:39.120 --> 02:37:49.120 Thank you, Peanut Butter Shelley, we got capyitaw. I remember 2580 02:37:49.159 --> 02:37:51.520 you saying that there's no chance Vince McMahon comes back, 2581 02:37:51.559 --> 02:37:54.280 and I would wholeheartedly agree. After the last few days, 2582 02:37:54.319 --> 02:38:01.239 I'm not so sure now, you know, nothing would surprise 2583 02:38:01.319 --> 02:38:07.719 me anymore, but I'm gonna say no, he is not 2584 02:38:07.799 --> 02:38:12.399 coming back. Would I put it past this company though? Now? 2585 02:38:13.920 --> 02:38:20.959 Fabian Garcia comfort Match and comfort Show, Comfort Show, King 2586 02:38:21.000 --> 02:38:26.719 of the Ring ninety three, that's my comfort show King 2587 02:38:26.760 --> 02:38:29.959 of the Ring ninety three or Royal Rumble ninety two, 2588 02:38:31.840 --> 02:38:36.360 Comfort Match. I mean, there's any number of them. Really 2589 02:38:41.200 --> 02:38:43.120 probably Brett Haart and mister Perfect from King of the 2590 02:38:43.159 --> 02:38:52.360 Ring ninety three. I have, I have watched that numerous times. 2591 02:38:55.559 --> 02:38:57.360 I mean, there's there's a lot, there's a lot of 2592 02:38:57.959 --> 02:39:00.920 different options, but I'll I'll throw that one out there. 2593 02:39:01.000 --> 02:39:07.479 That's my comfort match on my comfort show death side. One. 2594 02:39:07.559 --> 02:39:09.680 Last thing. I didn't say Austin would lose to scene 2595 02:39:09.680 --> 02:39:12.120 a Goldberg lost his And there's been plenty of wrestlers 2596 02:39:12.159 --> 02:39:19.280 who have lost their final match. Yes, but you're missing 2597 02:39:19.319 --> 02:39:22.000 the point though, Like you're gonna bring back sixty year 2598 02:39:22.040 --> 02:39:25.559 old Steve Austin out of retirement to beat John Cena 2599 02:39:25.600 --> 02:39:30.959 in his retirement match. Why, I don't understand the logic. 2600 02:39:31.920 --> 02:39:33.319 You get a lot more out of it if you 2601 02:39:33.399 --> 02:39:36.360 use a guy like Gunther who's on your roster right now, 2602 02:39:41.639 --> 02:39:45.840 or Eve been a bron breaker Davy Boy eleven. Here's 2603 02:39:45.840 --> 02:39:49.319 a terrible impression of Duff's VIDs. What's the worst tasting 2604 02:39:49.399 --> 02:40:01.399 part of a vegetable? The wheelchair? Oh? I think even 2605 02:40:01.479 --> 02:40:10.239 Duff's VIDs is like, dude, what the fuck this journey 2606 02:40:10.280 --> 02:40:14.559 called life? Hello? Solo haven't been in. Haven't been on 2607 02:40:14.600 --> 02:40:16.680 in a while due to the work schedule. But I 2608 02:40:16.680 --> 02:40:18.159 had to check in and say I had a great 2609 02:40:18.200 --> 02:40:21.000 time at SummerSlam, went both nights and I am pleased. 2610 02:40:21.840 --> 02:40:25.079 Punk getting cashed in on made me cry? Why not 2611 02:40:25.159 --> 02:40:27.479 as much as that guy in that video? I saw? 2612 02:40:29.520 --> 02:40:31.840 There was one CM Punk fan going down an escalator 2613 02:40:31.959 --> 02:40:37.120 as he was leaving last night, who apparently was very upset. 2614 02:40:37.879 --> 02:40:39.760 He did not look like he was having a very 2615 02:40:39.760 --> 02:40:49.120 good time. Bobby's World, Buy or sell Austin's heel turn 2616 02:40:49.120 --> 02:40:52.680 at Wrestleman he is seventeen or Austin's heel turn at Invasion, 2617 02:40:52.920 --> 02:40:58.000 if in fact you consider that Austin turned face at 2618 02:40:58.000 --> 02:41:06.399 the raw before Invasion. I mean, if I had to choose, 2619 02:41:06.719 --> 02:41:13.360 I would buy on the WrestleMania turn the Invasion turn. 2620 02:41:13.520 --> 02:41:15.840 Just it just irritated the shit out of me, like 2621 02:41:15.920 --> 02:41:24.000 I couldn't. I couldn't enjoy that, death Sithe. What did 2622 02:41:24.040 --> 02:41:32.719 the rabbit say to the veterinarian? What's up? Doc? Thank you? 2623 02:41:32.799 --> 02:41:46.120 Death Sithe? James Gentry. If Sena has four matches left 2624 02:41:46.479 --> 02:41:50.159 and one is Brock, who would be the other? Three? Punk? 2625 02:41:50.440 --> 02:41:56.319 Roman seth Aj who else would you say? Brock for 2626 02:41:56.440 --> 02:41:59.680 last or the next PLA. I would not save Brock 2627 02:41:59.719 --> 02:42:02.799 for life. I think you do that in Paris or Perth. 2628 02:42:04.719 --> 02:42:07.680 Punk's been done Roman. I have no interest in seeing 2629 02:42:07.719 --> 02:42:10.280 seen in Roman. I didn't think their first match frankly 2630 02:42:10.559 --> 02:42:12.799 or not the first one, but the well actually now 2631 02:42:12.840 --> 02:42:15.959 even the first one they had in twenty seven teen 2632 02:42:16.440 --> 02:42:20.200 was it twenty seventeen at no mercy, I don't remember 2633 02:42:20.200 --> 02:42:23.959 that being all that great. And I really didn't think 2634 02:42:24.000 --> 02:42:27.280 their summer Selim matches all that great. And now they're 2635 02:42:27.319 --> 02:42:30.479 both babyfaces and it doesn't make any sense. So I 2636 02:42:30.479 --> 02:42:33.799 would not do Roman. I would not do Punk again. 2637 02:42:34.040 --> 02:42:38.840 I think AJ would be great. I think Gunther. I 2638 02:42:38.920 --> 02:42:41.639 think Gunther as his last opponent makes a lot of sense. 2639 02:42:45.280 --> 02:42:51.719 As far as you know, they're gonna do Brock. If 2640 02:42:51.719 --> 02:42:53.799 they did Brock AJ and Gunther, I'd be fine with that. 2641 02:42:56.520 --> 02:42:59.879 I'd be fine with that. Drew, Drew could work to 2642 02:43:01.120 --> 02:43:10.159 him and Drew El Prescat who appears on WWE in 2643 02:43:10.239 --> 02:43:23.440 person first, Vince or Trump god El Prescat neither. Matt 2644 02:43:23.440 --> 02:43:27.239 Fisher says Scenasser l o loo l. He had the 2645 02:43:27.360 --> 02:43:30.840 chance to do it. He had the chance to do it. 2646 02:43:31.600 --> 02:43:37.959 Now he's retiring. It's too late. Can't do it. Chris 2647 02:43:38.360 --> 02:43:41.120 as a woman who is a wrestling fan. It's scary 2648 02:43:41.159 --> 02:43:43.799 and upsetting to see how little people care about victims 2649 02:43:44.799 --> 02:43:48.879 love your show though, man, keep it up again. That's 2650 02:43:48.879 --> 02:43:51.079 why I said before, you know, when I got that 2651 02:43:51.159 --> 02:43:54.120 other super Chat, It's like, realistically, you know, do you 2652 02:43:54.159 --> 02:43:57.879 think it really matters? Is it gonna matter? It's like 2653 02:43:58.120 --> 02:44:03.200 it's not, you know, their business is kind of bulletproof 2654 02:44:03.319 --> 02:44:07.200 right now, honestly, and I just feel like the majority 2655 02:44:07.559 --> 02:44:13.280 of their audience is unaware of a lot of things, 2656 02:44:14.319 --> 02:44:16.639 and maybe they choose to be, you know, or it 2657 02:44:16.760 --> 02:44:21.600 just doesn't bother them. And you know, in a lot 2658 02:44:21.639 --> 02:44:23.600 of the in a lot of those cases, it's sad, 2659 02:44:23.760 --> 02:44:27.559 but you know, that's that's just kind of the way 2660 02:44:27.600 --> 02:44:34.680 it is. That's that's what I've seen. But thank you, 2661 02:44:34.799 --> 02:44:50.120 Chris uh Super Pony, Sammy against Seth Cody versus Punk 2662 02:44:51.680 --> 02:44:55.879 WrestleMania Lock it In Sammy and Seth Cody and Punk. 2663 02:44:57.719 --> 02:45:01.200 I could live with that. And Dan Neil Malcolm celebrates 2664 02:45:01.479 --> 02:45:13.399 twenty three months of Channel membership. Constable Corbin anyway, Yeah no, no, 2665 02:45:14.440 --> 02:45:22.520 no bum ass Corbin for seeing his final opponent. Well, 2666 02:45:22.600 --> 02:45:26.239 thank you guys for all the messages and the questions. 2667 02:45:27.559 --> 02:45:32.159 We are currently sitting at nearing fourteen hundred likes, which 2668 02:45:32.239 --> 02:45:34.760 is awesome. We could break that, right, we could break 2669 02:45:34.799 --> 02:45:41.399 fourteen hundred. Let's get twenty more. But we are scheduled 2670 02:45:41.479 --> 02:45:45.319 for two rounds of be the booker. We had quite 2671 02:45:45.360 --> 02:45:48.120 the night last night. Let's see how it goes tonight. 2672 02:45:48.360 --> 02:45:51.399 It is time to be the booker. Ladies or gentlemen, 2673 02:45:51.760 --> 02:45:59.760 It is now time to be the booker. Oh, it 2674 02:45:59.840 --> 02:46:08.879 is time. We had some interesting choices last night that 2675 02:46:09.000 --> 02:46:15.559 we ended up with. So we're doing two rounds. Let's 2676 02:46:15.600 --> 02:46:21.440 do this first one here, and we're starting things out now. 2677 02:46:21.559 --> 02:46:24.000 We have some new people here who have probably never 2678 02:46:24.120 --> 02:46:27.239 seen this before, and they're wondering what is this. We're 2679 02:46:27.280 --> 02:46:30.920 just randomly booking some matches tag match, women's match, main 2680 02:46:31.000 --> 02:46:34.319 event and seeing what we can come up with. There's 2681 02:46:34.520 --> 02:46:37.079 dozens and dozens of options here. And this right here 2682 02:46:37.440 --> 02:46:41.319 are the Kings of Wrestling. This is Chris Hero and 2683 02:46:41.479 --> 02:46:49.680 Claudio and former tag team champions together could have been 2684 02:46:49.920 --> 02:46:54.040 a great team in WWA. Kings of Wrestling against the 2685 02:46:54.159 --> 02:47:00.479 Kings of Canada. Look at this Brett and Owen Hart. Dude, 2686 02:47:00.920 --> 02:47:06.559 the Kings of Wrestling against Bretta and Heart Take my 2687 02:47:06.680 --> 02:47:12.319 money now that's a tremendous start to be the booker. 2688 02:47:16.920 --> 02:47:20.159 We have Raquel Rodriguez, one half of the Women's Tag 2689 02:47:20.200 --> 02:47:25.879 team champions. Ever since the Kevin Nash comments, she's been 2690 02:47:25.959 --> 02:47:30.040 working big. She's been working like a monster in the division. 2691 02:47:31.280 --> 02:47:33.719 I like what I've been seeing from Raquel. She took 2692 02:47:33.760 --> 02:47:39.159 those Kevin Nash comments to heart, and Raquel is going 2693 02:47:39.239 --> 02:47:46.479 to be working big against Jamie Hayter, who was out injured. 2694 02:47:46.520 --> 02:47:50.120 Once again. I'm telling you she got hurt when she 2695 02:47:50.280 --> 02:47:53.239 got spiked by Mercedes in their match, like right near 2696 02:47:53.280 --> 02:47:54.799 the end of that match. She got spiked in her 2697 02:47:54.840 --> 02:47:59.000 fucking head. And then we have not seen I mean 2698 02:47:59.040 --> 02:48:01.799 they did the tecla Al on TV where Tekla took 2699 02:48:01.840 --> 02:48:06.200 her out, but we haven't seen her since that. That 2700 02:48:06.360 --> 02:48:09.000 was an awful bump. I'd be shocked if that's not 2701 02:48:09.079 --> 02:48:17.639 what injured her. Ah. Yes, I'm sorry, former Women's Tag 2702 02:48:17.680 --> 02:48:25.000 team champion, Raquel Rodriguez. You are correct. All right? Our 2703 02:48:25.040 --> 02:48:33.159 first main event here, let's see we have two in 2704 02:48:33.280 --> 02:48:37.680 the no. Uh Nigel McGinnis. He was pretty great too. 2705 02:48:37.760 --> 02:48:40.159 Back in the day. I saw many great Nigel McGinnis 2706 02:48:40.239 --> 02:48:45.040 matches and Ring of Honor and even summoned TNA Desmond Wolf, 2707 02:48:51.360 --> 02:49:01.760 Nigel McGinnis against bron Breaker and that is a clean sweep. 2708 02:49:01.879 --> 02:49:07.000 We got bells for all three. How can we possibly 2709 02:49:07.079 --> 02:49:10.520 top this? I think we should just cut our losses. 2710 02:49:10.719 --> 02:49:13.440 It's just kind of cut the second round out. I mean, 2711 02:49:13.479 --> 02:49:17.639 we can't top that. We'll save the second round for tomorrow. Now, 2712 02:49:17.639 --> 02:49:23.360 I'm kidding, I'm kidding. I owe you a second round now. 2713 02:49:23.399 --> 02:49:27.040 In the second round, we have stipulations. Tons of stipulations 2714 02:49:27.079 --> 02:49:31.040 are in here, all kinds of wacky stipulations too. So 2715 02:49:31.639 --> 02:49:33.959 let's see what our first match is going to be. 2716 02:49:34.159 --> 02:49:36.760 It is going to be. Well, look I said wacky, 2717 02:49:38.280 --> 02:49:43.319 and I was not lying when I said that. It 2718 02:49:43.479 --> 02:49:51.719 is a Mimosa Mayhem match. Look at Jerichosa. This is 2719 02:49:51.760 --> 02:49:53.280 what he's been doing the last few months. He's been 2720 02:49:53.319 --> 02:49:55.120 off TV, by the way, he's been lounging out in 2721 02:49:55.200 --> 02:50:01.879 his Mimosa bath, probably shooting great into his veins. All right, 2722 02:50:02.000 --> 02:50:04.799 so let's do, uh, how do we do? We can't 2723 02:50:04.799 --> 02:50:08.280 do a tag match? Usually we start with the tag match. 2724 02:50:09.879 --> 02:50:11.959 How are we gonna have a tag team Amosa Mayhem match? 2725 02:50:12.760 --> 02:50:15.680 All right, we'll have to do the ladies. We'll have 2726 02:50:15.799 --> 02:50:18.360 to do the women. That's all. You got no choice. 2727 02:50:21.120 --> 02:50:25.120 We gotta do the women. This is going to be 2728 02:50:25.360 --> 02:50:29.079 a women's Mimosa Mayhem match. Now, the way this works 2729 02:50:29.159 --> 02:50:31.600 is the match is over when you throw your opponent 2730 02:50:31.719 --> 02:50:36.360 into the mimosa bath. So that is how you win 2731 02:50:36.440 --> 02:50:39.680 the match. Yes, this was a real stipulation, Randall. I 2732 02:50:39.719 --> 02:50:41.159 did not make this shit out. You saw it in 2733 02:50:41.239 --> 02:50:49.479 the photo right there. That was a real stipulation. We 2734 02:50:49.680 --> 02:50:55.319 have Zaia Lee who is now in TNA, but we 2735 02:50:55.399 --> 02:51:00.760 have Ziya Lee and she is going to be stepping 2736 02:51:00.799 --> 02:51:08.840 into the ring with Tony Storm. Tony Storm and Zaya Lee. 2737 02:51:10.760 --> 02:51:16.399 You know, if anybody can make the stipulation work, it's 2738 02:51:16.520 --> 02:51:22.799 Tony Storm, Timeless time. She's not timeless in this photo, 2739 02:51:22.920 --> 02:51:28.520 but timeless Tony Storm. I was ready. I was all 2740 02:51:28.600 --> 02:51:33.959 ready to hit the buzzer on that one. Now we 2741 02:51:34.040 --> 02:51:40.079 do a tag team match. It is a tag team 2742 02:51:40.280 --> 02:51:42.799 hair match, so the losing team will have to have 2743 02:51:42.879 --> 02:51:47.120 their head shaved. So that's what we're doing here. Okay, 2744 02:51:48.000 --> 02:51:51.440 tag team hair match. I don't believe that there has 2745 02:51:51.559 --> 02:51:55.399 been a tag team hair match since Eddie and Art 2746 02:51:55.440 --> 02:51:58.360 bar Right. If the World's Collide wasn't that a hair 2747 02:51:58.440 --> 02:52:06.360 match love Machine art Bar another controversial figure. Oh well, 2748 02:52:06.399 --> 02:52:11.520 this is not fair. Can't do that. It's the Toxic Turtles. 2749 02:52:11.559 --> 02:52:17.239 They have no hair. Well, we have a bit of 2750 02:52:17.319 --> 02:52:19.840 a We're in a bit of a stalemate here. I 2751 02:52:19.879 --> 02:52:23.280 don't know what to do now. This is very unfair. 2752 02:52:24.799 --> 02:52:26.600 I mean, this is like Caine being in a first 2753 02:52:26.639 --> 02:52:30.079 Blood match and he's covered from head to toe. How 2754 02:52:30.120 --> 02:52:31.479 the fuck are we supposed to do a hair man. 2755 02:52:31.479 --> 02:52:36.520 I gotta pick a new stipulation. I can't. We have 2756 02:52:36.600 --> 02:52:43.200 to pick a new stipulation. They have no hair, all right? 2757 02:52:43.479 --> 02:52:46.239 Tag Team Bear God Tag Team buried a live match, 2758 02:52:46.319 --> 02:52:49.040 So basically we're burying two people in one grave. You're 2759 02:52:49.040 --> 02:52:53.600 gonna have to stack them up. This is unbelievable. Tag 2760 02:52:53.680 --> 02:52:57.760 team buried alive. You've got to stack them, stack them 2761 02:52:57.840 --> 02:53:03.440 and bury them. Actually, one of my favorite SmackDown matches 2762 02:53:03.559 --> 02:53:06.959 was a tag team buried a live match. Right, it 2763 02:53:07.120 --> 02:53:11.639 was Rock and Mankind against the God. Who was it? No, 2764 02:53:11.760 --> 02:53:13.920 I'm sorry it was Undertaker And yeah it was Undertaker 2765 02:53:13.959 --> 02:53:23.959 and Big Show against Rock and Mankind? Oh god, did 2766 02:53:24.040 --> 02:53:25.360 they have it? Did they have a name? Where they 2767 02:53:25.479 --> 02:53:27.680 were they? Harlem Heat two thousand? Was that? Their name, 2768 02:53:30.479 --> 02:53:35.159 Stevie Ray and Big T the former Ahmed Johnson. This 2769 02:53:35.319 --> 02:53:37.959 was in w c W. I think they were Harlem 2770 02:53:38.000 --> 02:53:46.319 Heat two thousand. Oh my god, poor Ko and Sammy 2771 02:53:46.719 --> 02:53:51.040 Kevin Owens and Sammy Zain in a tag team Buried 2772 02:53:51.159 --> 02:54:00.840 a live match against Harlem Heat two thousand. You know 2773 02:54:01.200 --> 02:54:04.200 I am, I am kind of morbidly curious what this 2774 02:54:04.280 --> 02:54:11.760 would look like with Ahmed Johnson wrestling Sammy's Ain. I 2775 02:54:11.879 --> 02:54:16.000 have look I feel like I would be sports entertained. 2776 02:54:17.200 --> 02:54:19.280 I also am I actually am a fan of the 2777 02:54:19.319 --> 02:54:22.120 Buried a live stipulation. I'm a mark for that step. 2778 02:54:22.959 --> 02:54:28.440 I don't know why I've always liked that stipulation. I 2779 02:54:28.520 --> 02:54:35.680 can't explain it. All Right, we have one last main 2780 02:54:35.719 --> 02:54:41.159 event left to go. We could very well end up 2781 02:54:41.239 --> 02:54:44.200 with a second clean sweep here. This is going to 2782 02:54:44.239 --> 02:54:52.399 be ah fuck Kennell from Hell. I spoke too soon, 2783 02:54:53.200 --> 02:54:59.520 Kennell from Hell match. I mean this is this is 2784 02:54:59.559 --> 02:55:07.799 going to take two tremendous performers to make this work. Well, 2785 02:55:13.559 --> 02:55:21.879 that ends that a Kennel from Hell match with Bill Goldberg. 2786 02:55:26.440 --> 02:55:30.040 I mean it's already been buzzed. I'll finish the job 2787 02:55:30.120 --> 02:55:32.440 here and just see who the opponent is. But it 2788 02:55:32.520 --> 02:55:43.680 doesn't even matter. It doesn't even matter. Goldberg against Miro 2789 02:55:44.799 --> 02:55:47.280 or Russev or whatever you want to call them in 2790 02:55:47.399 --> 02:55:57.120 a kennel from hell, still giving it the buzzer, still 2791 02:55:57.159 --> 02:56:03.840 giving it the buzzer. Fuck it. He's supposed to be retired. 2792 02:56:04.840 --> 02:56:10.680 He's not supposed to be here. Brett would be. If 2793 02:56:10.719 --> 02:56:12.120 it was Brett, I would have given it the bell. 2794 02:56:14.040 --> 02:56:16.000 If it was Brett, I would have definitely given it 2795 02:56:16.079 --> 02:56:22.399 the bell. Why would you put poor Brett through that? Though? 2796 02:56:22.479 --> 02:56:24.319 I wouldn't I wouldn't want to be responsible for that. 2797 02:56:24.719 --> 02:56:32.000 I'd never forgive myself death side. What's the worst thing 2798 02:56:32.079 --> 02:56:34.360 that a woman could say to Jesus to kill the 2799 02:56:34.479 --> 02:56:40.280 mood when they are performing The Beast with two backs? 2800 02:56:41.120 --> 02:56:51.360 Oh my god, the Beast with two backs? Okay, this 2801 02:56:51.559 --> 02:56:54.079 journey called life? Where do you see Styles going from here? 2802 02:56:54.159 --> 02:56:56.959 Since losing? I see him going into a rematch with 2803 02:56:57.040 --> 02:57:02.840 Dominic in Paris because dom cheated, right, he hit him 2804 02:57:02.840 --> 02:57:06.719 in the fucking head with a boot, So I think 2805 02:57:06.760 --> 02:57:08.959 he's headed to a rematch. That's where I think he's headed. 2806 02:57:10.959 --> 02:57:15.280 Look at Sammy. If Sammy's ame was in a dance competition, 2807 02:57:15.319 --> 02:57:21.639 he would already be world heavyweight champion. Aila Tonight's ending 2808 02:57:21.760 --> 02:57:28.120 had me screaming, screaming in a good way, screaming in 2809 02:57:28.200 --> 02:57:34.319 a bad way, and it can mean different things. And 2810 02:57:34.520 --> 02:57:38.120 Clone Forest ninety nine says, hey, solo, I haven't been 2811 02:57:38.159 --> 02:57:41.159 on here in a minute because wrestling overall has burned 2812 02:57:41.200 --> 02:57:44.719 me out, and I've only been seeing it on YouTube. 2813 02:57:45.639 --> 02:57:50.159 And have you seen Cross's recent tweet? I have not, 2814 02:57:51.000 --> 02:57:56.600 so I will very quickly, will very quickly go find 2815 02:57:56.760 --> 02:58:05.600 Carrie and Cross's recent tweet. Let's see from two hours ago. Okay, 2816 02:58:05.680 --> 02:58:09.120 so apparently this video that was mentioned before of people 2817 02:58:09.200 --> 02:58:14.799 in the background chanting we want Cross and yes, apparently 2818 02:58:14.920 --> 02:58:17.719 Triple H ponded off as we want Brock, which is 2819 02:58:18.600 --> 02:58:26.760 fucking ludicrous. Cross quote tweeted it and says unreal. They 2820 02:58:26.840 --> 02:58:34.680 write the scripts, but the fans write the truth. Thank you, TikTok. Yeah, 2821 02:58:34.840 --> 02:58:37.959 I think he's I think he's gone. I think he's gone. 2822 02:58:43.200 --> 02:58:51.799 It doesn't look good, Uncle Gumbald. I blame this on 2823 02:58:51.920 --> 02:58:56.520 Duff's VIDs. I curse you, mayor Marinara, never cling to 2824 02:58:56.600 --> 02:59:01.719 your pasta. You got that from the Golden Girls. I 2825 02:59:01.920 --> 02:59:08.719 know that, I know that that was the episode with 2826 02:59:08.799 --> 02:59:15.440 Sophia and her sister from the Old Country Athletic Geek 2827 02:59:15.520 --> 02:59:18.040 eighty nine. You also feel Brett Perfect King of the 2828 02:59:18.079 --> 02:59:20.280 Ring ninety three is better than Summer Slim ninety one. 2829 02:59:20.360 --> 02:59:23.600 I do, I do. I enjoyed their King of the 2830 02:59:23.639 --> 02:59:26.479 Ring match more than their Summer Slim match. And Perfect 2831 02:59:26.559 --> 02:59:30.040 was also physically in better shape than he was in 2832 02:59:30.159 --> 02:59:32.360 ninety one because in ninety one going into that show 2833 02:59:32.399 --> 02:59:38.319 he had the back injury. Isla says, screaming in a 2834 02:59:38.399 --> 02:59:41.360 good way. See, That's why I asked, because there were 2835 02:59:41.360 --> 02:59:43.399 a lot of people tonight screaming in a bad way, 2836 02:59:44.000 --> 02:59:47.520 so I wanted to clarify it a good scream or 2837 02:59:47.559 --> 02:59:53.959 a bad scream. This holy crap Solo remembers the exact 2838 02:59:54.159 --> 02:59:57.159 Golden Girls episode. I do. I watched the entire series. 2839 02:59:57.239 --> 03:00:01.559 It's a great show. Writing on that show is fantastic. 2840 03:00:03.319 --> 03:00:08.159 Solo is a Golden Girl's mark. I am. I think 2841 03:00:08.559 --> 03:00:10.719 one of the other Sophia jokes because she and her 2842 03:00:10.760 --> 03:00:12.520 sister didn't get along and they were going back and 2843 03:00:12.639 --> 03:00:14.959 forth with insults, and I think I think it was 2844 03:00:15.000 --> 03:00:18.159 in that episode where Sophia had a line about may 2845 03:00:18.239 --> 03:00:20.760 you pull your lip over your your head and swallow 2846 03:00:20.840 --> 03:00:27.440 or something like that. RAF says, did you or will 2847 03:00:27.559 --> 03:00:34.000 you do a BTS on how B to B is built? 2848 03:00:36.600 --> 03:00:38.399 I don't know. I don't know if there's enough interest 2849 03:00:38.440 --> 03:00:41.479 in that. I need to make some updates so I 2850 03:00:41.559 --> 03:00:46.399 will be doing that, but I'm I'm undecided on that. 2851 03:00:47.920 --> 03:00:50.879 Maybe something at some point for members, maybe members only. 2852 03:00:52.399 --> 03:00:58.079 We've got besico. Can we never see the Three Amigo 2853 03:00:58.239 --> 03:01:02.399 spot ever again? Yeah? You know, I think it's cool 2854 03:01:02.479 --> 03:01:05.399 that all these wrestlers like to pay homage to Eddie Guerrero, 2855 03:01:05.559 --> 03:01:08.799 But like now that everybody is doing the Three Amigos, 2856 03:01:08.840 --> 03:01:12.200 it's like, all right, can we just keep it to 2857 03:01:12.399 --> 03:01:15.040 like a few people so it's their thing. I do 2858 03:01:15.200 --> 03:01:21.079 feel like almost everybody does it now. Devin from New 2859 03:01:21.159 --> 03:01:25.319 Jersey by Rent and Sell, which walkout affected WWE, Moore, 2860 03:01:25.879 --> 03:01:28.680 Austin and O two, Brock and O four or Punk 2861 03:01:28.760 --> 03:01:34.440 in twenty fourteen. I think Brock and O four really 2862 03:01:35.440 --> 03:01:38.120 really screwed up their plans. I mean they really pushed 2863 03:01:38.159 --> 03:01:40.159 him to the moon and they were kind of building 2864 03:01:40.200 --> 03:01:42.520 around him, and I do I do sometimes wonder when 2865 03:01:42.559 --> 03:01:46.360 I get these questions like had he stuck around right? 2866 03:01:46.399 --> 03:01:50.159 Because in five is where they crowned Sena and Batista, 2867 03:01:51.239 --> 03:01:54.159 and they really gave the ball to Sena, but they 2868 03:01:54.239 --> 03:01:56.360 separated them. One was on one show, the other guy 2869 03:01:56.479 --> 03:01:59.239 was on the other show. If Brock sticks around and 2870 03:01:59.319 --> 03:02:03.040 oh four, it changes everything. So I still think Sena 2871 03:02:03.159 --> 03:02:05.079 ends up getting over and getting pushed, but it might 2872 03:02:05.159 --> 03:02:07.799 be delayed a little bit. You know, maybe Batista doesn't 2873 03:02:07.799 --> 03:02:11.120 get the push he gets. So I kind of want 2874 03:02:11.159 --> 03:02:14.559 to go with Brock. I mean, not that Austin walking 2875 03:02:14.600 --> 03:02:17.399 out wasn't a big deal. It was, but at that point, 2876 03:02:17.520 --> 03:02:19.159 no too. It almost felt like they were kind of 2877 03:02:19.239 --> 03:02:23.639 beyond the point where Austin walking out was like a 2878 03:02:23.799 --> 03:02:27.920 killer for them. You know, I might be inclined to 2879 03:02:27.959 --> 03:02:32.959 buy on Brock honestly, and then rent Austin and sell 2880 03:02:33.040 --> 03:02:38.440 Punk Darth Panic. What is a Kennel from hell Match? 2881 03:02:39.200 --> 03:02:41.479 So Kennel from Hell Match was thankfully just a one 2882 03:02:41.559 --> 03:02:44.239 time thing. It was between Al Snow and the Big 2883 03:02:44.319 --> 03:02:49.280 Boss Man. I believe it was unforgiven, right, it was 2884 03:02:49.319 --> 03:02:53.520 it unforgiven September of ninety nine, and it was a 2885 03:02:53.959 --> 03:02:57.120 traditional at the time. They had the blue bar steel cage, 2886 03:02:57.280 --> 03:03:01.120 not this mesh stuff. So you had the regular steel cage, 2887 03:03:01.159 --> 03:03:03.079 and they put the hell in a cell over the 2888 03:03:03.159 --> 03:03:06.760 steel cage, and then in the space between the two cages. 2889 03:03:07.040 --> 03:03:09.879 The idea was you would have these like rabid dogs. 2890 03:03:09.920 --> 03:03:13.040 I think it was like Doberman's like guard dogs that 2891 03:03:13.079 --> 03:03:15.360 would be barking and like ready to bite you, and 2892 03:03:15.399 --> 03:03:19.559 they'd be running around and making noise. So like as 2893 03:03:19.600 --> 03:03:22.200 a concept, it's kind of interesting, but then an execution, 2894 03:03:22.399 --> 03:03:25.600 it just shit the bed and the dogs were I 2895 03:03:25.680 --> 03:03:29.120 think the dogs were like congregating in one area only, 2896 03:03:29.200 --> 03:03:31.239 and they were like peeing on the floor, and it 2897 03:03:31.360 --> 03:03:34.239 was like it just didn't work. It didn't work in 2898 03:03:34.319 --> 03:03:37.079 the way that they intended for it to work, so 2899 03:03:37.200 --> 03:03:40.479 they never did it again. But it is one of 2900 03:03:40.520 --> 03:03:48.239 the more infamous matches in WWA. BW Roses TNA's Bound 2901 03:03:48.280 --> 03:03:51.600 for Glory got a plug at SummerSlam. Yes, the Hardy's 2902 03:03:51.639 --> 03:03:54.079 and Dudley's match A Bound for Glory got a quick plug. 2903 03:03:54.840 --> 03:04:01.680 On commentary by Michael Cole says that Jesus should win 2904 03:04:01.760 --> 03:04:06.680 the intercontinental title. I'm telling you, man, it's it's beneath him. 2905 03:04:09.600 --> 03:04:12.840 But then who beats him doesn't want to put anybody 2906 03:04:12.920 --> 03:04:16.479 over Duff's VIDs. I got tired from my job at 2907 03:04:16.520 --> 03:04:25.479 the autocorrect company. I got fried for no reason. Thank you, duffs. 2908 03:04:26.200 --> 03:04:30.559 It's a fine way to go out. And Navy forty 2909 03:04:30.600 --> 03:04:34.959 one eighty one Goldberg's retirement ruined Hogan passing away and 2910 03:04:35.159 --> 03:04:38.920 McMahon's car accident. I have one pair of skinny jeans, 2911 03:04:38.920 --> 03:04:41.319 and I'm gonna wear them every week just to piss 2912 03:04:41.399 --> 03:04:45.920 you off, Big Dave, Big Dave and his skinny jeans 2913 03:04:46.680 --> 03:04:53.040 from the Hollywood Batista days. But Navy says Goldberg's retirement 2914 03:04:53.159 --> 03:04:56.440 ruined Hogan passing away and McMahon's car accident. If I 2915 03:04:56.559 --> 03:05:01.600 was on brett shit list, I would apologize pronto. Yeah, 2916 03:05:01.600 --> 03:05:09.600 who else does Brett have an issue with? Terence pace Wwe? 2917 03:05:09.959 --> 03:05:14.760 The moral high ground has always been Crater Crater? Do 2918 03:05:14.879 --> 03:05:19.479 I say crater? This is crater? The moral high ground 2919 03:05:19.639 --> 03:05:26.959 has always been Crater hm and doctor Scorpio says, with 2920 03:05:27.040 --> 03:05:30.600 all this cancel culture stuff, wouldn't Jesus technically be considered 2921 03:05:30.879 --> 03:05:36.239 the first victim of cancel culture. I'll show myself out please. 2922 03:05:36.319 --> 03:05:41.040 Do you're proud of that one too, aren't you? I 2923 03:05:41.440 --> 03:05:45.879 could see his smile from a mile away. Goldberg ain't 2924 03:05:45.959 --> 03:05:51.959 leaving the house, says Connor. Well, Rollins is doing okay 2925 03:05:52.040 --> 03:05:56.760 at least. I don't know if Rollins is on Brett 2926 03:05:56.840 --> 03:06:03.680 shitless at least not anymore. I think he's okay, but yeah, 2927 03:06:03.680 --> 03:06:08.200 I would definitely want to stay on Brett's good side anyway. 2928 03:06:08.479 --> 03:06:13.120 Thank you guys for a tremendous stream tonight. I know 2929 03:06:13.239 --> 03:06:16.239 we had I don't know.
