34
00:02:33.919 --> 00:02:37.000
<v Speaker 2>that being said, that doesn't mean that wrestling isn't still

35
00:02:37.120 --> 00:02:41.000
<v Speaker 2>trying to keep our attention and make us ready for

36
00:02:41.120 --> 00:02:44.159
<v Speaker 2>what's in store for the next year. So yeah, it

37
00:02:44.439 --> 00:02:47.120
<v Speaker 2>is really cool stuff. So thank you guys so much

38
00:02:47.159 --> 00:02:50.159
<v Speaker 2>for joining me, and I just cannot wait to get

39
00:02:50.199 --> 00:02:53.759
<v Speaker 2>into all the things. So last night was a really

40
00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:57.159
<v Speaker 2>big night in terms of WWE content because they did

41
00:02:57.319 --> 00:03:01.560
<v Speaker 2>have their first Saturday Night's main event for the first

42
00:03:01.599 --> 00:03:04.759
<v Speaker 2>time in a couple of years, and it was really great.

43
00:03:04.840 --> 00:03:07.960
<v Speaker 2>They were advertising it, of course at the Nassau Coliseum

44
00:03:08.840 --> 00:03:11.560
<v Speaker 2>in New York and Long Island, and it was their

45
00:03:11.599 --> 00:03:14.080
<v Speaker 2>first time having it, but they weren't trying to turn

46
00:03:14.159 --> 00:03:17.479
<v Speaker 2>it into like this new show type of thing that

47
00:03:17.560 --> 00:03:20.599
<v Speaker 2>we're trying to pay tribute to the past and give

48
00:03:20.719 --> 00:03:24.479
<v Speaker 2>us more of what's going on into the future, while

49
00:03:24.520 --> 00:03:27.479
<v Speaker 2>also paying tribute to where it once was, and for

50
00:03:27.680 --> 00:03:31.120
<v Speaker 2>it to be a retro show with the newer stars

51
00:03:31.199 --> 00:03:34.520
<v Speaker 2>and everything, it still felt really current and I really

52
00:03:34.800 --> 00:03:38.319
<v Speaker 2>liked it. So of course this aired yesterday on NBC

53
00:03:38.599 --> 00:03:42.120
<v Speaker 2>and streamed on Peacock, And of course if you were

54
00:03:42.159 --> 00:03:44.599
<v Speaker 2>looking for that TV feeling, you could definitely watch it

55
00:03:44.680 --> 00:03:46.960
<v Speaker 2>on NBC, but I just chose to stream it on

56
00:03:47.080 --> 00:03:51.080
<v Speaker 2>Peacock because I'm just you know, old habits die hard.

57
00:03:51.560 --> 00:03:54.280
<v Speaker 2>But of course, as the show goes on, I'm gonna

58
00:03:54.319 --> 00:03:56.199
<v Speaker 2>talk about, you know, what happened on the show and

59
00:03:56.319 --> 00:03:58.639
<v Speaker 2>recap it a bit, and then if you're watching live,

60
00:03:58.680 --> 00:04:00.759
<v Speaker 2>you can just tell me all of what you felt

61
00:04:00.840 --> 00:04:03.840
<v Speaker 2>about the show, how you felt about the bookings of things,

62
00:04:03.919 --> 00:04:06.960
<v Speaker 2>how you felt about the matches, and then you might

63
00:04:07.039 --> 00:04:10.039
<v Speaker 2>wind up on the screen. So let's get into Saturday

64
00:04:10.120 --> 00:04:14.439
<v Speaker 2>night's main event, which took place last night. Freaking EO

65
00:04:14.599 --> 00:04:18.639
<v Speaker 2>Sky versus Live Morgan turned out to be a banger

66
00:04:18.759 --> 00:04:20.839
<v Speaker 2>of a match, because y'all know, I got to talk

67
00:04:20.879 --> 00:04:25.199
<v Speaker 2>about my women first, because ladies first. EO Sky and

68
00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:28.079
<v Speaker 2>Live Morgan both surprised me at the very beginning of

69
00:04:28.160 --> 00:04:31.360
<v Speaker 2>this match because these are two women who normally come

70
00:04:31.560 --> 00:04:36.279
<v Speaker 2>out with their stable in terms of the judgment day

71
00:04:36.279 --> 00:04:39.279
<v Speaker 2>and also in terms of damage control, but this time

72
00:04:39.800 --> 00:04:43.319
<v Speaker 2>they decided to tell to tell their perspective people to

73
00:04:43.480 --> 00:04:45.720
<v Speaker 2>back off and just let us do this on our own.

74
00:04:45.800 --> 00:04:47.800
<v Speaker 2>And they were like, okay, fine, you sure, let's go,

75
00:04:48.480 --> 00:04:52.439
<v Speaker 2>and Eo wound up, you know, fighting out there without

76
00:04:52.519 --> 00:04:57.279
<v Speaker 2>damage control, and Live defended her title without Raquel and

77
00:04:57.439 --> 00:05:01.240
<v Speaker 2>without dirty dom and this this was very refreshing for

78
00:05:01.360 --> 00:05:04.920
<v Speaker 2>a change, because Laurd knows we've been so used in

79
00:05:05.040 --> 00:05:09.000
<v Speaker 2>condition to seeing Live come out with her insurance policy

80
00:05:09.560 --> 00:05:13.360
<v Speaker 2>and this definitely helped the match, and it helped both

81
00:05:13.399 --> 00:05:16.759
<v Speaker 2>of these women stand on their own. These women put

82
00:05:16.839 --> 00:05:21.319
<v Speaker 2>on a banger of a match. Eosky really gave the

83
00:05:21.600 --> 00:05:24.759
<v Speaker 2>very best that she could to Live Morgan with her

84
00:05:24.800 --> 00:05:27.240
<v Speaker 2>double knees as you can see in the picture over there,

85
00:05:27.639 --> 00:05:29.959
<v Speaker 2>and also with a lot of her aerial move set.

86
00:05:30.399 --> 00:05:33.319
<v Speaker 2>But there was a point where Live actually targeted her

87
00:05:33.399 --> 00:05:36.199
<v Speaker 2>leg a bit and tried to wear her down, and

88
00:05:36.279 --> 00:05:40.839
<v Speaker 2>then there was this really really rough spot where Eo

89
00:05:41.040 --> 00:05:45.839
<v Speaker 2>actually need gave a knee strike to Live in the face,

90
00:05:46.319 --> 00:05:48.079
<v Speaker 2>almost to the point to where a lot of viewers

91
00:05:48.120 --> 00:05:51.279
<v Speaker 2>were almost scared that Liv's nose was broken, but they

92
00:05:51.399 --> 00:05:53.759
<v Speaker 2>reported that it isn't broken and that she's fine. It

93
00:05:53.879 --> 00:05:56.120
<v Speaker 2>was just a really hard hit and yet her nose

94
00:05:56.240 --> 00:05:59.439
<v Speaker 2>was bleeding, but she fought through all of that in

95
00:05:59.639 --> 00:06:04.199
<v Speaker 2>order to retain Hit the Oblivion and retain her Women's

96
00:06:04.240 --> 00:06:09.600
<v Speaker 2>World Championship. And as someone who has been a huge,

97
00:06:10.759 --> 00:06:17.199
<v Speaker 2>huge I've been very critical of Live always using dirty

98
00:06:17.279 --> 00:06:20.800
<v Speaker 2>dim in order to as a distraction to sort of

99
00:06:20.879 --> 00:06:24.319
<v Speaker 2>win her matches. I was really happy to see that

100
00:06:24.480 --> 00:06:27.199
<v Speaker 2>she decided to show up for someone like Eo Sky,

101
00:06:27.279 --> 00:06:31.120
<v Speaker 2>who is an icon in Japanese women's wrestling, and fight

102
00:06:31.319 --> 00:06:33.680
<v Speaker 2>and fight her on her own merit and defend her

103
00:06:33.720 --> 00:06:36.399
<v Speaker 2>title on her own merit, because it just seemed like

104
00:06:36.519 --> 00:06:39.240
<v Speaker 2>for every person she has fought for that title, she

105
00:06:39.519 --> 00:06:44.240
<v Speaker 2>is always just she is always cheated in order to win.

106
00:06:44.720 --> 00:06:46.839
<v Speaker 2>But this time she did it and it was really

107
00:06:46.959 --> 00:06:50.439
<v Speaker 2>refreshing to see that. Vaughn in the chat watching on Facebook,

108
00:06:50.480 --> 00:06:52.720
<v Speaker 2>thank you for watching, saying Saturday Night's main event was

109
00:06:52.800 --> 00:06:55.920
<v Speaker 2>great and Live Morgan critic Yeah, I was a Live

110
00:06:56.000 --> 00:06:59.560
<v Speaker 2>Morgan critic, especially with the choices that she made this year,

111
00:07:00.560 --> 00:07:02.439
<v Speaker 2>even though it helped her get to the top. It's

112
00:07:02.560 --> 00:07:04.959
<v Speaker 2>just the principle of the fact that you know, you

113
00:07:05.079 --> 00:07:09.240
<v Speaker 2>went through all this stole you know, Rea Ripley's boyfriend

114
00:07:09.319 --> 00:07:11.519
<v Speaker 2>and her group and all of that, just so you can,

115
00:07:11.639 --> 00:07:14.199
<v Speaker 2>you know, call yourself the greatest women's world champion, even

116
00:07:14.199 --> 00:07:18.759
<v Speaker 2>though there's only been three. But whatever. Either way, Live

117
00:07:18.839 --> 00:07:22.560
<v Speaker 2>Morgan retained her title in a very cool fashion. I

118
00:07:22.680 --> 00:07:25.319
<v Speaker 2>love the fact that she did it all by herself,

119
00:07:25.720 --> 00:07:28.600
<v Speaker 2>so as she was celebrating, you know, and made her

120
00:07:28.759 --> 00:07:31.920
<v Speaker 2>interest back up the ramp, we hear this is my

121
00:07:32.079 --> 00:07:37.920
<v Speaker 2>brutality and outcomes Ria Ripley staring her down. And usually

122
00:07:38.000 --> 00:07:40.839
<v Speaker 2>this would be where Dominic or where maybe a Raquel

123
00:07:40.920 --> 00:07:44.040
<v Speaker 2>would get in her face and tell Ria to back off,

124
00:07:44.240 --> 00:07:47.240
<v Speaker 2>or maybe Live would just run away from her or whatever.

125
00:07:47.399 --> 00:07:50.160
<v Speaker 2>But this time they just both stared at each other,

126
00:07:50.360 --> 00:07:52.079
<v Speaker 2>just stare at each other down as if to say,

127
00:07:52.600 --> 00:07:55.639
<v Speaker 2>I see you, I've gotten next. Because of course, Riha

128
00:07:55.720 --> 00:08:00.360
<v Speaker 2>did penn Live as Survivor series war games after crashing

129
00:08:00.399 --> 00:08:03.959
<v Speaker 2>her through the table, So definitely Rhea Ripley has next,

130
00:08:04.000 --> 00:08:06.399
<v Speaker 2>and now we can do this without all the distractions,

131
00:08:06.759 --> 00:08:09.560
<v Speaker 2>because I've beat up on Dominic at Bad Blood like

132
00:08:09.639 --> 00:08:13.160
<v Speaker 2>a pinata. I destroyed Raquel this past week on rob

133
00:08:13.199 --> 00:08:15.480
<v Speaker 2>which we will get into later on the show. So

134
00:08:15.720 --> 00:08:18.480
<v Speaker 2>now there is no more glass ceiling, there are no

135
00:08:18.639 --> 00:08:21.279
<v Speaker 2>more people for me to go through. It's time for

136
00:08:21.360 --> 00:08:23.519
<v Speaker 2>me to fight you for the title that I want.

137
00:08:24.040 --> 00:08:27.279
<v Speaker 2>And she stated in an interview with Jackie Redman and

138
00:08:27.480 --> 00:08:31.480
<v Speaker 2>with Peter Rosenberg after the show that she is ready,

139
00:08:31.600 --> 00:08:33.399
<v Speaker 2>you know, to get her title back, and that she

140
00:08:33.919 --> 00:08:36.440
<v Speaker 2>can't change what happened in the past at SummerSlam, and

141
00:08:36.519 --> 00:08:39.279
<v Speaker 2>she can't change what happened with Judgment Day, but she

142
00:08:39.440 --> 00:08:42.759
<v Speaker 2>can change the fact that she isn't the Women's World Champion.

143
00:08:43.039 --> 00:08:46.519
<v Speaker 2>And I'm definitely here for because their feud is a

144
00:08:46.600 --> 00:08:49.600
<v Speaker 2>lot more heated and a lot more bloodthirsty and a

145
00:08:49.679 --> 00:08:53.240
<v Speaker 2>lot more angry than oh you took my boyfriend, Like.

146
00:08:53.320 --> 00:08:56.000
<v Speaker 2>There's more to it than that, and I'm really glad

147
00:08:56.039 --> 00:08:59.879
<v Speaker 2>that they are possibly about to explore more of this

148
00:09:00.240 --> 00:09:03.879
<v Speaker 2>without the distractions of the whole boyfriend thing. So I'm

149
00:09:03.960 --> 00:09:06.840
<v Speaker 2>really pumped about where this is gonna go. I'm ready

150
00:09:06.919 --> 00:09:09.639
<v Speaker 2>for Riha to get back her things, and I'm just

151
00:09:09.759 --> 00:09:11.759
<v Speaker 2>ready to sort of see this version of the Josement

152
00:09:11.840 --> 00:09:13.759
<v Speaker 2>day sort of just crackle up. But we'll get more

153
00:09:13.759 --> 00:09:18.440
<v Speaker 2>into that later too. So yeah, that was awesome. Also

154
00:09:18.559 --> 00:09:21.600
<v Speaker 2>in terms of the women, you had Nietzschen, Me and

155
00:09:21.840 --> 00:09:25.200
<v Speaker 2>m going up against Chelsea Green to become the inaugural

156
00:09:25.320 --> 00:09:28.919
<v Speaker 2>Women's United States Champion. And if it's one thing I

157
00:09:29.000 --> 00:09:31.879
<v Speaker 2>did share a lot of on social media yesterday is

158
00:09:31.919 --> 00:09:34.120
<v Speaker 2>the fact that I love both of these women so

159
00:09:34.399 --> 00:09:37.879
<v Speaker 2>much and appreciate them and everything that they've given in

160
00:09:38.000 --> 00:09:42.480
<v Speaker 2>their careers for women's wrestling. I saw the first time

161
00:09:42.519 --> 00:09:45.559
<v Speaker 2>I saw me Andam was at the May Young Classic,

162
00:09:45.960 --> 00:09:48.279
<v Speaker 2>and her story just really resonated with me, and I

163
00:09:48.440 --> 00:09:50.720
<v Speaker 2>just love the idea, of course, that she is a

164
00:09:50.840 --> 00:09:54.440
<v Speaker 2>black woman standing in her truth and being really strong

165
00:09:54.720 --> 00:09:58.200
<v Speaker 2>and beautiful the way that she is, and also being

166
00:09:58.240 --> 00:10:01.320
<v Speaker 2>an Asian woman in that way as well. So just

167
00:10:01.440 --> 00:10:05.559
<v Speaker 2>seeing her representing who she is in this type of

168
00:10:05.759 --> 00:10:11.399
<v Speaker 2>match while also representing what HBCU she attended, because the

169
00:10:11.519 --> 00:10:16.559
<v Speaker 2>letterman jacket that she had on represented Virginia Union University,

170
00:10:16.919 --> 00:10:19.639
<v Speaker 2>which is UH, which is which is an HBCU I

171
00:10:19.759 --> 00:10:22.799
<v Speaker 2>had never heard of up until this point, and that's

172
00:10:22.879 --> 00:10:26.000
<v Speaker 2>no shade because of course there are so many HBCUs,

173
00:10:26.799 --> 00:10:29.519
<v Speaker 2>especially even here in the state of Alabama, but I

174
00:10:29.600 --> 00:10:32.240
<v Speaker 2>had just never heard of Virginia Union, and the fact

175
00:10:32.279 --> 00:10:35.360
<v Speaker 2>that she was out here representing them is just really amazing.

176
00:10:35.840 --> 00:10:40.120
<v Speaker 2>I feel like HBCUs have had a stellar year when

177
00:10:40.159 --> 00:10:42.840
<v Speaker 2>it comes to wrestling over the past couple of years,

178
00:10:42.919 --> 00:10:46.840
<v Speaker 2>even with Bianca bell Air and with Cody Rhodes at

179
00:10:48.720 --> 00:10:53.039
<v Speaker 2>with the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff, and even

180
00:10:53.159 --> 00:10:55.720
<v Speaker 2>now with this form of representation from Nia. It was

181
00:10:55.879 --> 00:10:59.399
<v Speaker 2>just really really cool to see her represent them in

182
00:10:59.480 --> 00:11:02.919
<v Speaker 2>that way, and it just goes to show you HBCUs

183
00:11:03.279 --> 00:11:08.159
<v Speaker 2>creates greatness. They create all forms of greatness, even in

184
00:11:08.240 --> 00:11:11.440
<v Speaker 2>the world of professional wrestling. So I'm really happy for

185
00:11:11.759 --> 00:11:14.919
<v Speaker 2>Mia and what she represented here. And she also shared

186
00:11:15.279 --> 00:11:18.320
<v Speaker 2>a picture of herself, you know, on the volleyball team

187
00:11:18.360 --> 00:11:23.480
<v Speaker 2>at Virginia Union, so this was really beautiful. But as

188
00:11:23.600 --> 00:11:27.320
<v Speaker 2>the match proceeded to go on, as both women fought

189
00:11:27.360 --> 00:11:30.559
<v Speaker 2>tooth and nail, and even as Piper Niven tried to,

190
00:11:30.879 --> 00:11:34.600
<v Speaker 2>you know, interfere with the match and everything, Chelsea Green

191
00:11:34.879 --> 00:11:38.440
<v Speaker 2>was able to come out on top on her own

192
00:11:38.600 --> 00:11:41.639
<v Speaker 2>as the victor and become the first ever women's United

193
00:11:41.720 --> 00:11:46.480
<v Speaker 2>States champion after hitting Nia Yim with the un with

194
00:11:46.639 --> 00:11:50.639
<v Speaker 2>a with an un Prettier from the top rope. Like

195
00:11:51.039 --> 00:11:53.399
<v Speaker 2>if you were to go back and watch Saturday Night's

196
00:11:53.440 --> 00:11:57.279
<v Speaker 2>main event and see the way that she executed that

197
00:11:57.399 --> 00:12:00.600
<v Speaker 2>I'm prettier from the top rope, it was really smooth

198
00:12:00.679 --> 00:12:03.519
<v Speaker 2>and sick because it looked like Mia had her you know,

199
00:12:03.639 --> 00:12:05.639
<v Speaker 2>dead to rights on the top rope, but then Chelsea

200
00:12:05.759 --> 00:12:08.679
<v Speaker 2>reversed it, hit that up Prettier got the one, two, three,

201
00:12:09.159 --> 00:12:13.279
<v Speaker 2>and one. This made me so happy because if you've

202
00:12:13.279 --> 00:12:16.399
<v Speaker 2>been watching wrestling over the past ten years, you've seen

203
00:12:16.519 --> 00:12:19.799
<v Speaker 2>Chelsea Green off and on in so many different iterations

204
00:12:20.240 --> 00:12:23.639
<v Speaker 2>of her character, of other characters and all the above.

205
00:12:24.200 --> 00:12:26.279
<v Speaker 2>Like I said on social media, the first time I

206
00:12:26.440 --> 00:12:28.559
<v Speaker 2>ever saw her was when she played the nurse who

207
00:12:28.679 --> 00:12:31.879
<v Speaker 2>was supposedly in an affair with Brian Danielson. He was

208
00:12:31.919 --> 00:12:35.240
<v Speaker 2>in WWE not knowing that she was even a wrestler.

209
00:12:35.720 --> 00:12:39.279
<v Speaker 2>And then of course she came through tough enough and

210
00:12:39.600 --> 00:12:42.960
<v Speaker 2>wound up, you know, getting eliminated in the in the

211
00:12:43.039 --> 00:12:46.919
<v Speaker 2>more recent season, and then she wound up fighting her

212
00:12:47.000 --> 00:12:51.120
<v Speaker 2>way to NXT, being a part of Robert the Robert

213
00:12:51.240 --> 00:12:54.320
<v Speaker 2>Stone brand, and then getting called up and then getting released,

214
00:12:54.639 --> 00:12:57.039
<v Speaker 2>and then making the best of this situation by going

215
00:12:57.120 --> 00:12:59.799
<v Speaker 2>back to TNA and doing lots of other indie wrestling

216
00:12:59.840 --> 00:13:04.600
<v Speaker 2>things and then coming back to wrestling in WWE. So

217
00:13:05.159 --> 00:13:08.159
<v Speaker 2>in this entire year, I would also say she's been

218
00:13:08.399 --> 00:13:13.200
<v Speaker 2>an MVP because her entire personality and all of her

219
00:13:13.320 --> 00:13:17.200
<v Speaker 2>cookiness and craziness and sense of humor stuff has definitely

220
00:13:17.320 --> 00:13:21.159
<v Speaker 2>given us some really memorable moments. I will never forget

221
00:13:21.840 --> 00:13:24.759
<v Speaker 2>being at Money in the Bank and not only getting

222
00:13:24.840 --> 00:13:27.559
<v Speaker 2>to ask her a question in the presser, well not

223
00:13:27.639 --> 00:13:29.759
<v Speaker 2>in the presser, but in the media day when we

224
00:13:29.879 --> 00:13:33.159
<v Speaker 2>got to interview some of the wrestlers and just seeing

225
00:13:33.240 --> 00:13:35.919
<v Speaker 2>her sort of just soak up getting all of that

226
00:13:36.039 --> 00:13:40.879
<v Speaker 2>attention from so many different media people asking her question

227
00:13:41.000 --> 00:13:43.519
<v Speaker 2>after question like she was just the star. It was

228
00:13:43.639 --> 00:13:47.279
<v Speaker 2>just really funny. Then to seeing her getting smashed through

229
00:13:47.320 --> 00:13:52.120
<v Speaker 2>a table by Tiffany Stratton in the Money in the

230
00:13:52.159 --> 00:13:54.639
<v Speaker 2>Bank ladder match, like a lot of us have been

231
00:13:54.720 --> 00:13:56.960
<v Speaker 2>rooting for her to get an opportunity like this for

232
00:13:57.080 --> 00:13:59.840
<v Speaker 2>such a long time, So the idea that she actually

233
00:13:59.879 --> 00:14:02.960
<v Speaker 2>has it now and she's the first women's United States Champion.

234
00:14:03.039 --> 00:14:07.080
<v Speaker 2>It's just really hilarious. And then you had Nick Aldis

235
00:14:07.120 --> 00:14:10.240
<v Speaker 2>put the title on her and everything, and he congratulated

236
00:14:10.279 --> 00:14:13.200
<v Speaker 2>her on social media only to say, God help us

237
00:14:13.240 --> 00:14:17.960
<v Speaker 2>all because you know, she's about to be super duper extra.

238
00:14:18.440 --> 00:14:20.960
<v Speaker 2>And the extra didn't even stop there because the gear

239
00:14:21.039 --> 00:14:24.679
<v Speaker 2>that she wrestled in last night were all pictures of herself,

240
00:14:24.759 --> 00:14:26.720
<v Speaker 2>from the hat all the way down to her half

241
00:14:26.840 --> 00:14:32.120
<v Speaker 2>pants to her half pants half shorts. So Chelsea Green

242
00:14:32.399 --> 00:14:34.639
<v Speaker 2>was the right choice. Actually, there would not have been

243
00:14:34.679 --> 00:14:38.360
<v Speaker 2>a wrong choice if Nia had woned, but either way,

244
00:14:38.919 --> 00:14:43.399
<v Speaker 2>Chelsea miss ma'am definitely deserved it after everything she's gone through.

245
00:14:44.399 --> 00:14:47.879
<v Speaker 2>This is her first singles title n WWE, and I'm

246
00:14:47.960 --> 00:14:50.000
<v Speaker 2>just so happy to see her get her things. So

247
00:14:50.159 --> 00:14:53.759
<v Speaker 2>congratulations to Chelsea Green. You've made women's wrestling history and

248
00:14:53.879 --> 00:14:57.080
<v Speaker 2>you are now the first ever Women's United States Champion.

249
00:14:57.519 --> 00:15:00.279
<v Speaker 2>And of course, she has a T shirt that actually

250
00:15:00.399 --> 00:15:02.679
<v Speaker 2>has her an image of her as the Statue of

251
00:15:02.799 --> 00:15:06.480
<v Speaker 2>Liberty with the words with the word Chelsea all down

252
00:15:07.399 --> 00:15:10.159
<v Speaker 2>behind her Statue of Liberty and it's just really cute,

253
00:15:10.559 --> 00:15:12.919
<v Speaker 2>So big ups to her for that. I am so

254
00:15:13.159 --> 00:15:15.440
<v Speaker 2>happy for her, and I can't wait to see more

255
00:15:15.519 --> 00:15:18.360
<v Speaker 2>of what me and him has to offer, because even

256
00:15:18.360 --> 00:15:20.480
<v Speaker 2>though she might not be the first, she could be

257
00:15:20.559 --> 00:15:23.320
<v Speaker 2>the second, or she could be the third. You never know.

258
00:15:24.320 --> 00:15:26.399
<v Speaker 2>I did not mean for those balloons to happen, but

259
00:15:26.480 --> 00:15:29.480
<v Speaker 2>either way, she could be the third. You just never know.

260
00:15:29.840 --> 00:15:33.519
<v Speaker 2>But I'm really happy for Chelsea now if we go

261
00:15:33.720 --> 00:15:38.000
<v Speaker 2>to the men. I was very surprised that Drew McIntyre

262
00:15:38.159 --> 00:15:41.720
<v Speaker 2>was able to catch Sammy's ain't slipping' with the Claymore

263
00:15:41.840 --> 00:15:45.120
<v Speaker 2>kick and actually having him win the match. This was

264
00:15:45.200 --> 00:15:49.399
<v Speaker 2>how Saturday Nights main events started. This match was pretty

265
00:15:49.480 --> 00:15:51.840
<v Speaker 2>good and very hard hitting, because you know Sammy is

266
00:15:51.879 --> 00:15:54.360
<v Speaker 2>gonna give his all. But I was just really really

267
00:15:54.440 --> 00:15:57.759
<v Speaker 2>surprised that Drew one. But then again, how could you

268
00:15:57.879 --> 00:16:00.679
<v Speaker 2>not be surprised because he definitely has an extra grind

269
00:16:00.759 --> 00:16:03.440
<v Speaker 2>since the last time we saw him in a WWE

270
00:16:03.600 --> 00:16:07.279
<v Speaker 2>ring competing was at Hell and the Cell and against

271
00:16:07.360 --> 00:16:11.840
<v Speaker 2>seeing Punk at Bad Blood, so he really is focused

272
00:16:11.919 --> 00:16:14.679
<v Speaker 2>on trying to get revenge on those on those who

273
00:16:14.799 --> 00:16:18.240
<v Speaker 2>cost him, you know, his opportunities at the title, even

274
00:16:18.279 --> 00:16:21.080
<v Speaker 2>though it's not seeing Punk this time, he's targeting the

275
00:16:21.200 --> 00:16:24.559
<v Speaker 2>Bloodline because he also targeted jay Uso as well, So

276
00:16:25.159 --> 00:16:29.840
<v Speaker 2>it's just really interesting to see another level of a

277
00:16:30.039 --> 00:16:34.039
<v Speaker 2>spiteful Drew McIntyre. I was it was interesting. Then they

278
00:16:34.159 --> 00:16:38.080
<v Speaker 2>also gave an interesting stat that Sammy's ain has never

279
00:16:38.279 --> 00:16:40.879
<v Speaker 2>won a match against Drew McIntyre, so now he's o

280
00:16:41.080 --> 00:16:44.600
<v Speaker 2>in two against Drew and that was just really interesting

281
00:16:44.679 --> 00:16:48.519
<v Speaker 2>to know. But oof, yeah Drew is back and he's

282
00:16:48.559 --> 00:16:52.240
<v Speaker 2>ready to recavoc on all of our faves again, and yeah,

283
00:16:52.559 --> 00:16:57.639
<v Speaker 2>I just don't know. Then we had the triple threat

284
00:16:57.720 --> 00:17:01.240
<v Speaker 2>match for the World Heavyweight title involving Wunter, Finnbaler, and

285
00:17:01.360 --> 00:17:04.400
<v Speaker 2>Damien Priest. I'm not gonna lie. I A part of

286
00:17:04.480 --> 00:17:07.359
<v Speaker 2>me really wanted Damien Priest to win this title back

287
00:17:07.480 --> 00:17:11.759
<v Speaker 2>because he's Damien. But Gunter basically has like a stranglehold

288
00:17:11.839 --> 00:17:14.519
<v Speaker 2>on the title, especially now since he's been dealing with

289
00:17:15.119 --> 00:17:18.960
<v Speaker 2>an attack of confidence, like he's just having a huge

290
00:17:19.000 --> 00:17:21.759
<v Speaker 2>crisis of confidence right now and he's just trying to

291
00:17:21.920 --> 00:17:24.000
<v Speaker 2>prove that he really is the guy that he has

292
00:17:24.160 --> 00:17:27.559
<v Speaker 2>been for the past few years. And the fact that

293
00:17:27.880 --> 00:17:29.799
<v Speaker 2>you know, he was able to come out on top

294
00:17:29.920 --> 00:17:33.759
<v Speaker 2>and retain his title was really cool. So I was like, okay,

295
00:17:33.839 --> 00:17:35.720
<v Speaker 2>going to you're still a champion. I wasn't too mad

296
00:17:35.759 --> 00:17:38.799
<v Speaker 2>at that because he's just a big bad like at

297
00:17:38.839 --> 00:17:42.640
<v Speaker 2>this point, like even though a lot of people feel

298
00:17:42.680 --> 00:17:44.799
<v Speaker 2>that he's not the big bad that he used to

299
00:17:44.880 --> 00:17:47.640
<v Speaker 2>be when he was Walter in the UK scene, to me,

300
00:17:48.079 --> 00:17:51.480
<v Speaker 2>I feel like they've been building him up to be

301
00:17:52.359 --> 00:17:55.160
<v Speaker 2>this big bad you know, ever since he won the

302
00:17:55.400 --> 00:17:58.440
<v Speaker 2>IC title and held onto it for you know, over

303
00:17:58.559 --> 00:18:02.759
<v Speaker 2>six hundred days, and then now he's the world heavyweight

304
00:18:02.880 --> 00:18:05.960
<v Speaker 2>champion and it seems that nobody can really beat him,

305
00:18:06.039 --> 00:18:08.920
<v Speaker 2>beat him. But then you also have Finn thrown in

306
00:18:09.000 --> 00:18:11.559
<v Speaker 2>the mix, and he could have just so easily cheated

307
00:18:11.640 --> 00:18:14.000
<v Speaker 2>with the judgment day as well, but he didn't do

308
00:18:14.200 --> 00:18:17.000
<v Speaker 2>that either, and he wanted to try and do it

309
00:18:17.079 --> 00:18:22.359
<v Speaker 2>on his own. So I do wonder how that conversation

310
00:18:22.640 --> 00:18:27.680
<v Speaker 2>is gonna go on Monday when, you know, because he

311
00:18:27.880 --> 00:18:30.400
<v Speaker 2>was the one who was trying to tell Live that

312
00:18:30.480 --> 00:18:33.079
<v Speaker 2>they need to follow his advice, you know, so he can,

313
00:18:33.319 --> 00:18:36.559
<v Speaker 2>you know, so they can be successful. But Live wound

314
00:18:36.640 --> 00:18:40.039
<v Speaker 2>up winning and retaining her title, whereas he couldn't get

315
00:18:40.079 --> 00:18:43.440
<v Speaker 2>the job done. So I don't know, but either way,

316
00:18:43.960 --> 00:18:47.480
<v Speaker 2>this match was pretty good too. I enjoyed it, and Gunch,

317
00:18:47.480 --> 00:18:49.400
<v Speaker 2>You're still the champion, so I'm not too mad at that.

318
00:18:50.920 --> 00:18:53.160
<v Speaker 2>And then, of course, when it comes to the nostalgia

319
00:18:53.400 --> 00:18:56.279
<v Speaker 2>of Saturday Night's main event, I have to give props

320
00:18:56.279 --> 00:18:59.759
<v Speaker 2>to Jessie the Body Ventura. Even though I wasn't a

321
00:19:00.319 --> 00:19:03.440
<v Speaker 2>during his first go round as a broadcaster and as

322
00:19:03.480 --> 00:19:06.880
<v Speaker 2>a wrestler because I wasn't born yet, I do respect

323
00:19:06.960 --> 00:19:09.400
<v Speaker 2>the fact that he was out here doing the things

324
00:19:10.599 --> 00:19:14.559
<v Speaker 2>last night and bringing the nostalgia vibes. His voice is

325
00:19:14.640 --> 00:19:18.640
<v Speaker 2>still very much intact to a degree, and I loved

326
00:19:18.720 --> 00:19:21.400
<v Speaker 2>hearing him right next to Joe test Tour and the

327
00:19:21.599 --> 00:19:25.359
<v Speaker 2>show started with Joe Testitur's voice over, and his voice

328
00:19:25.400 --> 00:19:28.839
<v Speaker 2>fit perfectly for the retro style of Saturday Night's main event.

329
00:19:29.480 --> 00:19:33.839
<v Speaker 2>Joe is very current, but he sounds very professional in

330
00:19:33.960 --> 00:19:37.960
<v Speaker 2>the way that a Gorilla Monsoon would sound, or the

331
00:19:38.039 --> 00:19:40.599
<v Speaker 2>way that Jesse sounded back in the day, or the

332
00:19:40.680 --> 00:19:43.000
<v Speaker 2>way that Bobby he didn't sound it back in the day.

333
00:19:43.359 --> 00:19:47.160
<v Speaker 2>So his voice definitely fit the vibes of the show.

334
00:19:47.759 --> 00:19:50.519
<v Speaker 2>And the fact that Jesse came out here with a

335
00:19:50.599 --> 00:19:55.079
<v Speaker 2>snake skin coat along with all of these boas, which

336
00:19:55.200 --> 00:19:58.680
<v Speaker 2>is really funny for me, So big ups to these guys,

337
00:19:58.880 --> 00:20:01.079
<v Speaker 2>and also big ups to Joe Testator for having on

338
00:20:01.279 --> 00:20:04.200
<v Speaker 2>that red bow to pay tribute to Mean Jane because

339
00:20:04.240 --> 00:20:07.039
<v Speaker 2>me and Jane was one of my favorites growing up

340
00:20:07.119 --> 00:20:10.960
<v Speaker 2>when he was on w W Confidential, and I just

341
00:20:11.039 --> 00:20:13.480
<v Speaker 2>grew to respect him more the more I watched older

342
00:20:13.519 --> 00:20:16.119
<v Speaker 2>stuff with my dad, and I know that if Mean

343
00:20:16.160 --> 00:20:18.200
<v Speaker 2>Jane were here, he would have been there with bells on.

344
00:20:18.920 --> 00:20:21.960
<v Speaker 2>So it was just, you know, really nice to see

345
00:20:22.000 --> 00:20:24.359
<v Speaker 2>him pay tribute to him. And then of course you

346
00:20:24.480 --> 00:20:26.960
<v Speaker 2>have the other wrestling stars of the past that were there,

347
00:20:27.039 --> 00:20:30.440
<v Speaker 2>like Cocoa be Ware, Greg the Hammer, Valentine and so

348
00:20:30.559 --> 00:20:33.319
<v Speaker 2>many others. It was just and Jess and Jimmy Hart.

349
00:20:33.759 --> 00:20:37.359
<v Speaker 2>That was really cool too, So I love it. Katerina Hey,

350
00:20:37.599 --> 00:20:40.559
<v Speaker 2>thank you for watching, saying as a photographer and a broadcaster,

351
00:20:41.039 --> 00:20:43.759
<v Speaker 2>I loved the aesthetic of it all. Kept it in

352
00:20:43.880 --> 00:20:46.799
<v Speaker 2>the essence of the original. They really did. And then

353
00:20:46.839 --> 00:20:49.319
<v Speaker 2>I loved that they had the barricades out, but they

354
00:20:49.359 --> 00:20:51.720
<v Speaker 2>weren't like the regular barricades that they have out for

355
00:20:51.799 --> 00:20:55.119
<v Speaker 2>every show. They had like the barred barricades and that

356
00:20:55.359 --> 00:20:57.720
<v Speaker 2>was really cool too. And then I loved it. They

357
00:20:57.799 --> 00:21:01.440
<v Speaker 2>had the security out there to protect this because y'all know,

358
00:21:01.599 --> 00:21:05.839
<v Speaker 2>us fans can get real ratchet. We can get real

359
00:21:06.000 --> 00:21:08.400
<v Speaker 2>ratchet and jump on people, you know, and be all

360
00:21:08.519 --> 00:21:12.519
<v Speaker 2>hyperactive or whatever, so you know, protect the superstars. But

361
00:21:12.640 --> 00:21:15.599
<v Speaker 2>I love the nostalgia field. And then of course with

362
00:21:15.720 --> 00:21:18.079
<v Speaker 2>the intro, they had it come on with an old

363
00:21:18.119 --> 00:21:21.880
<v Speaker 2>school television and the old school theme song that they

364
00:21:21.960 --> 00:21:26.279
<v Speaker 2>had called Obsession. You're my Obsession, So that was cool too,

365
00:21:26.480 --> 00:21:29.160
<v Speaker 2>So I liked it. It was really amazing. I love

366
00:21:29.240 --> 00:21:34.200
<v Speaker 2>the nostalgia of it all. So yeah, Katerina is saying

367
00:21:34.319 --> 00:21:37.079
<v Speaker 2>I wanted the ratchet. No, you can't have the ratchet.

368
00:21:38.279 --> 00:21:41.559
<v Speaker 2>We can't have the ratchet all the time. Okay, we can't.

369
00:21:41.880 --> 00:21:44.359
<v Speaker 2>We have to protect the superstars. We have to protect them.

370
00:21:45.839 --> 00:21:49.480
<v Speaker 2>And so yeah, as Jesse the Body, Ventur made more

371
00:21:49.519 --> 00:21:52.359
<v Speaker 2>of his presence. Felt he was a special guest commentator

372
00:21:52.359 --> 00:21:55.680
<v Speaker 2>alongside Michael Cole and Pat McAfee. And I was happy

373
00:21:55.759 --> 00:21:58.680
<v Speaker 2>to see Pat McAfee back because every time I watch

374
00:21:58.920 --> 00:22:01.240
<v Speaker 2>ESPN College Game Day and watch him be all crazy

375
00:22:01.279 --> 00:22:03.759
<v Speaker 2>and stuff on there, I'd just be like, man, I

376
00:22:03.839 --> 00:22:06.799
<v Speaker 2>wanted him back on wrestling, and he came back for

377
00:22:06.920 --> 00:22:09.880
<v Speaker 2>one night, and of course college football isn't over just yet,

378
00:22:10.400 --> 00:22:12.200
<v Speaker 2>So in the midst of all of this, I was

379
00:22:12.279 --> 00:22:14.319
<v Speaker 2>really happy to have him back, and then to have

380
00:22:14.559 --> 00:22:17.839
<v Speaker 2>him sit him and Michael Cole sit next to Jesse,

381
00:22:17.960 --> 00:22:23.599
<v Speaker 2>the body of Ventura, who gave you know, such personality

382
00:22:24.119 --> 00:22:27.640
<v Speaker 2>during his time as you know, a commentator. It was

383
00:22:27.799 --> 00:22:31.079
<v Speaker 2>just a great mashup of the past and the present,

384
00:22:31.319 --> 00:22:34.519
<v Speaker 2>and I just really appreciated it. Then what was so

385
00:22:34.680 --> 00:22:39.920
<v Speaker 2>funny was Jesse was being so much of a heel commentator,

386
00:22:40.559 --> 00:22:43.240
<v Speaker 2>like I almost wish that he was sitting next to

387
00:22:43.359 --> 00:22:47.480
<v Speaker 2>Corey Graves instead, because Corey Graves is, whether people like

388
00:22:47.559 --> 00:22:50.240
<v Speaker 2>it or not, he tends to be he tends to

389
00:22:50.359 --> 00:22:53.119
<v Speaker 2>fall more so on the heel side more than any

390
00:22:53.160 --> 00:22:56.359
<v Speaker 2>other side. So if it would have been entertaining if

391
00:22:56.400 --> 00:22:59.519
<v Speaker 2>Michael Cole was right there in between Corey and Jesse,

392
00:23:00.079 --> 00:23:02.559
<v Speaker 2>but it was okay. I guess they just brought Pat

393
00:23:02.680 --> 00:23:05.480
<v Speaker 2>McAfee in because he's Pat and I don't and I

394
00:23:05.519 --> 00:23:08.160
<v Speaker 2>don't hate that at all. And Jesse was just out

395
00:23:08.160 --> 00:23:10.599
<v Speaker 2>there giving all the heel vibes, talking about how he

396
00:23:10.759 --> 00:23:14.119
<v Speaker 2>was on Kevin Owens's side and all of the above.

397
00:23:14.279 --> 00:23:18.640
<v Speaker 2>So that was hilarious. So this was cool, and then

398
00:23:18.759 --> 00:23:23.400
<v Speaker 2>we have the main event involving Ko and Cody Rhodes,

399
00:23:24.039 --> 00:23:29.440
<v Speaker 2>and Cody made me happy on one end, but then

400
00:23:29.519 --> 00:23:34.720
<v Speaker 2>disappointed me on the other because he came back. He

401
00:23:35.119 --> 00:23:40.839
<v Speaker 2>made his interest with the Winged Eagle title, and I

402
00:23:41.119 --> 00:23:45.960
<v Speaker 2>love championship built as you can see back there. I

403
00:23:46.079 --> 00:23:49.799
<v Speaker 2>love championship titles. So the fact that on this ventage show,

404
00:23:51.000 --> 00:23:53.359
<v Speaker 2>on this throwback show, they actually had him wearing the

405
00:23:53.400 --> 00:23:56.119
<v Speaker 2>Winged Eagle, I was very excited about that. I was

406
00:23:56.160 --> 00:23:58.440
<v Speaker 2>really crunk about that. I was like, oh, Snappy's out

407
00:23:58.480 --> 00:24:00.680
<v Speaker 2>there with the thing. And then it was amazing how

408
00:24:00.720 --> 00:24:04.039
<v Speaker 2>they lift how the referee, Charles Robinson lifted it up.

409
00:24:04.720 --> 00:24:07.799
<v Speaker 2>And it was also amazing to see him be a

410
00:24:07.920 --> 00:24:10.640
<v Speaker 2>part of that because he's been at a referee for

411
00:24:10.960 --> 00:24:13.839
<v Speaker 2>WW for so long, so the idea that this is

412
00:24:13.960 --> 00:24:15.960
<v Speaker 2>now in the present, he's able to lift up that

413
00:24:16.039 --> 00:24:19.960
<v Speaker 2>title for these future stars was amazing too. So I

414
00:24:20.200 --> 00:24:24.519
<v Speaker 2>was really excited about that part, but Cody disappointed me

415
00:24:24.599 --> 00:24:29.119
<v Speaker 2>a little bit with the way that he retained his championship.

416
00:24:29.759 --> 00:24:32.359
<v Speaker 2>Of course, Kevin Owens was out here acting all kinds

417
00:24:32.400 --> 00:24:35.519
<v Speaker 2>of buck in this match. I will definitely say that,

418
00:24:36.079 --> 00:24:38.759
<v Speaker 2>and he was acting soa buck that he brought in

419
00:24:38.960 --> 00:24:42.319
<v Speaker 2>a steel chair to try to pull the trigger on

420
00:24:42.440 --> 00:24:44.720
<v Speaker 2>Cody the way that he didn't at Bash in Berlin.

421
00:24:45.559 --> 00:24:53.640
<v Speaker 2>But Cody, as a babyface, you could have pushed the

422
00:24:53.720 --> 00:24:56.680
<v Speaker 2>chair out of the way and just hit the Crossroads

423
00:24:56.759 --> 00:24:59.480
<v Speaker 2>regular on the mat and laid him out one, two three.

424
00:25:00.079 --> 00:25:03.640
<v Speaker 2>He didn't do that. He used a steel chair and

425
00:25:03.799 --> 00:25:08.680
<v Speaker 2>hit the crossroads onto Kevin Owens and then wanted to

426
00:25:08.759 --> 00:25:12.839
<v Speaker 2>match in the midst of all the shenanigans with the

427
00:25:12.880 --> 00:25:17.279
<v Speaker 2>referees and everything. That was crazy too, but Cody literally

428
00:25:17.440 --> 00:25:20.920
<v Speaker 2>took an evil route in order to retain his title.

429
00:25:21.519 --> 00:25:23.279
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if it was because he was just

430
00:25:23.480 --> 00:25:25.960
<v Speaker 2>angry with Kevin or he just felt like that was

431
00:25:26.000 --> 00:25:28.720
<v Speaker 2>the only way he could have took him out. But

432
00:25:29.519 --> 00:25:32.960
<v Speaker 2>that really surprised me because when it happened, I was like, wait,

433
00:25:34.720 --> 00:25:40.400
<v Speaker 2>hold on, hold on, Cody, hold on, you're my babyface

434
00:25:40.440 --> 00:25:44.920
<v Speaker 2>and I love you right now, but Sweetie, that no, no,

435
00:25:45.640 --> 00:25:48.720
<v Speaker 2>why are we doing this? It was really interesting and

436
00:25:48.799 --> 00:25:51.599
<v Speaker 2>I'm wondering if they're gonna bring it up later on

437
00:25:51.880 --> 00:25:57.440
<v Speaker 2>this week, But that disappointed me. I was just like,

438
00:25:57.519 --> 00:26:01.319
<v Speaker 2>my babyface, hero, what's going on. Why are we having

439
00:26:01.319 --> 00:26:04.519
<v Speaker 2>an identity crisis? What's going on? Why are we using

440
00:26:04.680 --> 00:26:06.440
<v Speaker 2>chairs when you could have got the job done the

441
00:26:06.480 --> 00:26:10.119
<v Speaker 2>other way. I don't know, but this did make me sad.

442
00:26:10.599 --> 00:26:13.559
<v Speaker 2>Ugh it was Oh it was crazy. And then on

443
00:26:13.680 --> 00:26:16.119
<v Speaker 2>top of that, it got even crazier after the cameras

444
00:26:16.160 --> 00:26:19.359
<v Speaker 2>went off because as Cody was celebrating and as he

445
00:26:19.480 --> 00:26:21.440
<v Speaker 2>was about to get on the microphone and talk to

446
00:26:21.480 --> 00:26:25.319
<v Speaker 2>the people like he tends to do, Kevin Owens hit

447
00:26:26.759 --> 00:26:30.559
<v Speaker 2>Cody with an illegal move. He hit him with the

448
00:26:30.599 --> 00:26:34.680
<v Speaker 2>pile driver. He hit him with this pile driver and

449
00:26:34.799 --> 00:26:37.599
<v Speaker 2>knocked him out landing on his booty, which is what

450
00:26:37.640 --> 00:26:41.279
<v Speaker 2>you're not supposed to do, and then stepped all over

451
00:26:41.359 --> 00:26:43.839
<v Speaker 2>him when he was on the stretcher and took the

452
00:26:43.920 --> 00:26:47.119
<v Speaker 2>winged eagle belt away from him. And in the midst

453
00:26:47.160 --> 00:26:51.000
<v Speaker 2>of all of this, Kevin also got to fighting with

454
00:26:51.160 --> 00:26:56.440
<v Speaker 2>Triple H the CCO. He got to fighting with Triple

455
00:26:56.480 --> 00:26:58.960
<v Speaker 2>Ah and got into a shoven match with him. This

456
00:26:59.119 --> 00:27:01.200
<v Speaker 2>all happened off came But of course I'm sure you've

457
00:27:01.240 --> 00:27:04.880
<v Speaker 2>seen it online by now. But oh my god, this

458
00:27:05.119 --> 00:27:07.359
<v Speaker 2>version of Kevin always is really just taking people out.

459
00:27:07.440 --> 00:27:10.519
<v Speaker 2>He took out Randy. Now he's taking out Cody and

460
00:27:10.599 --> 00:27:12.839
<v Speaker 2>now he's carrying around the title now and it is

461
00:27:13.119 --> 00:27:17.359
<v Speaker 2>just a mess. It is a mess. He is angry,

462
00:27:17.880 --> 00:27:22.160
<v Speaker 2>he is surly, he is spiteful. This version of Kevin

463
00:27:22.279 --> 00:27:25.960
<v Speaker 2>has really lost it and you hate to see it.

464
00:27:27.440 --> 00:27:29.400
<v Speaker 2>But this is what I guess he feels. He's been

465
00:27:29.440 --> 00:27:36.839
<v Speaker 2>pushed too, so I don't know, but either way, Saturday

466
00:27:36.920 --> 00:27:39.559
<v Speaker 2>Night's main event was fantastic. I enjoyed it, and of

467
00:27:39.640 --> 00:27:42.839
<v Speaker 2>course the next time they're having it, they will be

468
00:27:43.000 --> 00:27:45.960
<v Speaker 2>having it in Texas, and I think they're having it

469
00:27:46.079 --> 00:27:48.839
<v Speaker 2>in January, later on in January before the World Rumble,

470
00:27:49.240 --> 00:27:53.200
<v Speaker 2>so it's gonna be really cool. I enjoy it, so yeah,

471
00:27:53.319 --> 00:27:58.079
<v Speaker 2>it's gonna be cool. But before we finish the Saturday

472
00:27:58.160 --> 00:28:02.400
<v Speaker 2>Nights main event talked is something interesting that happened this

473
00:28:02.599 --> 00:28:06.079
<v Speaker 2>week that I have to talk about. So if you've

474
00:28:06.079 --> 00:28:09.160
<v Speaker 2>been listening to me talk wrestling on this show for

475
00:28:09.279 --> 00:28:13.680
<v Speaker 2>the past almost five years, you know that something that

476
00:28:13.799 --> 00:28:18.079
<v Speaker 2>I love more than anything in this world is wrestling

477
00:28:18.279 --> 00:28:27.039
<v Speaker 2>in my hometown of Birmingham, Alabama. I have been pushing

478
00:28:28.039 --> 00:28:35.599
<v Speaker 2>and actively manifesting for a ple a WWPL to take

479
00:28:35.680 --> 00:28:40.160
<v Speaker 2>place in Birmingham because another anniversary has passed. When it

480
00:28:40.279 --> 00:28:43.039
<v Speaker 2>comes to the last PLI that we had here in Birmingham,

481
00:28:43.319 --> 00:28:47.720
<v Speaker 2>which was Armageddon two thousand. It's been twenty four years

482
00:28:48.160 --> 00:28:50.160
<v Speaker 2>since arma getting in two thousand to this day. That

483
00:28:50.359 --> 00:28:53.640
<v Speaker 2>is the only PL that has taken place in Birmingham, Alabama.

484
00:28:53.720 --> 00:28:58.599
<v Speaker 2>Since then. We've only gotten raws, smackdowns, mostly smackdowns, a

485
00:28:58.839 --> 00:29:02.319
<v Speaker 2>couple of raws thrown in there, and some house shows.

486
00:29:02.960 --> 00:29:05.079
<v Speaker 2>And I really feel that with all the growth that

487
00:29:05.119 --> 00:29:07.839
<v Speaker 2>Birmingham has had over the past ten years and even now,

488
00:29:08.519 --> 00:29:12.000
<v Speaker 2>I feel like we are worthy to have a PL.

489
00:29:12.839 --> 00:29:15.759
<v Speaker 2>Not necessarily a Big four PL because those are sort

490
00:29:15.799 --> 00:29:20.000
<v Speaker 2>of reserved for larger, larger cities, but a POL nonetheless.

491
00:29:20.680 --> 00:29:24.960
<v Speaker 2>And so I tweeted that I pretend that I'm okay,

492
00:29:25.400 --> 00:29:28.079
<v Speaker 2>but deep down inside I want to stop counting down

493
00:29:28.119 --> 00:29:31.720
<v Speaker 2>the years since there has been a WWEPL in the

494
00:29:31.839 --> 00:29:36.960
<v Speaker 2>city of Birmingham. And I tweeted, let's bring Saturday Night's

495
00:29:37.039 --> 00:29:39.680
<v Speaker 2>main event to Birmingham with a picture of the skyline

496
00:29:39.720 --> 00:29:43.920
<v Speaker 2>and all the above, and the Birmingham City Council, who

497
00:29:44.000 --> 00:29:47.119
<v Speaker 2>I didn't even know had a Twitter. I did not

498
00:29:47.279 --> 00:29:51.039
<v Speaker 2>know the Birmingham City Council had a Twitter, they responded

499
00:29:51.200 --> 00:29:54.279
<v Speaker 2>because I tagged the City of Birmingham Government's Twitter page

500
00:29:54.359 --> 00:29:59.759
<v Speaker 2>in it and they said same Stephanie. Same at WW

501
00:30:01.920 --> 00:30:05.200
<v Speaker 2>When I saw this at work, when I tell y'all,

502
00:30:05.240 --> 00:30:09.400
<v Speaker 2>I was gagged. I was like, hold on, so you

503
00:30:09.640 --> 00:30:12.359
<v Speaker 2>mean to tell me if the Birmingham City Council has

504
00:30:12.400 --> 00:30:14.200
<v Speaker 2>a Twitter? And not only do they have a Twitter,

505
00:30:14.480 --> 00:30:17.960
<v Speaker 2>they responded to me talking about a pay per view

506
00:30:18.039 --> 00:30:22.720
<v Speaker 2>in Birmingham. What this gagged me? And then on top

507
00:30:22.799 --> 00:30:25.440
<v Speaker 2>of that, not only did I tag WWE and the

508
00:30:25.480 --> 00:30:28.160
<v Speaker 2>City of Birmingham, I also tagged The Rock And the

509
00:30:28.240 --> 00:30:30.599
<v Speaker 2>reason why I did that is because The Rock is

510
00:30:30.720 --> 00:30:33.240
<v Speaker 2>not only on the board of directors for WWE now

511
00:30:33.599 --> 00:30:37.759
<v Speaker 2>along with TKO, he also is the co owner of

512
00:30:38.039 --> 00:30:43.079
<v Speaker 2>our football team, the UFL champions, the Birmingham Stallions. So

513
00:30:43.279 --> 00:30:46.240
<v Speaker 2>in the midst of that, economically it could make sense

514
00:30:46.359 --> 00:30:48.400
<v Speaker 2>for us to have a pl and if we don't

515
00:30:48.440 --> 00:30:50.839
<v Speaker 2>have one, we could have a Saturday Nights main event,

516
00:30:51.160 --> 00:30:55.200
<v Speaker 2>we could have an NXT event. Either way, give Birmingham

517
00:30:55.359 --> 00:30:59.240
<v Speaker 2>something and this was an amazing advancement in this. I

518
00:30:59.279 --> 00:31:02.720
<v Speaker 2>don't because considering this happened on a Friday, I hope

519
00:31:03.559 --> 00:31:07.119
<v Speaker 2>that maybe somewhere down the road once the holidays are over.

520
00:31:07.640 --> 00:31:09.839
<v Speaker 2>I don't know how this can be pursued. I don't

521
00:31:09.880 --> 00:31:13.160
<v Speaker 2>know what I need to do at this point, but

522
00:31:13.359 --> 00:31:16.519
<v Speaker 2>I just know that this was an amazing advancement, you know,

523
00:31:16.680 --> 00:31:21.000
<v Speaker 2>the idea that the City Council of Birmingham responded to it, Like,

524
00:31:21.240 --> 00:31:25.559
<v Speaker 2>excuse me, I've been tweeting about a Birmingham pl for years.

525
00:31:26.119 --> 00:31:27.839
<v Speaker 2>I've been doing this for years. This is the very

526
00:31:27.880 --> 00:31:31.279
<v Speaker 2>first time the City Council of Birmingham has responded to it,

527
00:31:31.920 --> 00:31:35.000
<v Speaker 2>and I'm so happy about that. So we'll see what

528
00:31:35.119 --> 00:31:38.799
<v Speaker 2>happens within the next year. But this was amazing and

529
00:31:38.960 --> 00:31:41.680
<v Speaker 2>I am still pushing and manifesting for a pl to

530
00:31:41.759 --> 00:31:45.559
<v Speaker 2>take place here because I just feel like us as

531
00:31:45.599 --> 00:31:48.000
<v Speaker 2>a city, you know, we have our ups and downs,

532
00:31:48.079 --> 00:31:51.400
<v Speaker 2>but we deserve nice things. We absolutely deserve nice things,

533
00:31:51.480 --> 00:31:55.960
<v Speaker 2>and that's a nice thing that we deserve and hopefully

534
00:31:56.039 --> 00:31:59.079
<v Speaker 2>we'll get it. Hopefully we will get it within the

535
00:31:59.200 --> 00:32:01.599
<v Speaker 2>next few years. So I just had to share that

536
00:32:01.680 --> 00:32:04.880
<v Speaker 2>little tippit. Let's push for a Saturday Nights main event

537
00:32:05.079 --> 00:32:10.640
<v Speaker 2>in Birmingham. Please please, please please please wwe please. So yeah,

538
00:32:12.480 --> 00:32:16.039
<v Speaker 2>So that's the end of my Saturday Nights main event talk,

539
00:32:17.680 --> 00:32:22.839
<v Speaker 2>and now we're going to move into what I liked

540
00:32:22.960 --> 00:32:26.400
<v Speaker 2>in wrestling this week. So now I know a lot

541
00:32:26.480 --> 00:32:28.240
<v Speaker 2>of the stuff that I'm gonna talk about right now

542
00:32:28.359 --> 00:32:30.680
<v Speaker 2>took place before Saturday Nights main event, So I'm just

543
00:32:30.720 --> 00:32:33.519
<v Speaker 2>gonna put that little disclaimer out there, but I just

544
00:32:33.599 --> 00:32:35.799
<v Speaker 2>have to discuss and do like a recap of what

545
00:32:35.880 --> 00:32:40.759
<v Speaker 2>I liked. So I was very surprised on Monday Night

546
00:32:40.960 --> 00:32:45.480
<v Speaker 2>Raw to see Live fighting Dakota Kai because of course,

547
00:32:45.559 --> 00:32:49.000
<v Speaker 2>Dakota Kai is moving forward in the tournament for the

548
00:32:49.079 --> 00:32:54.400
<v Speaker 2>Women's Intercontinental Championship, so to see her having a match

549
00:32:54.519 --> 00:32:58.039
<v Speaker 2>against Live Morgan like this was really interesting. But it

550
00:32:58.200 --> 00:33:01.599
<v Speaker 2>wasn't too far off the beaten path logically, because of

551
00:33:01.680 --> 00:33:05.240
<v Speaker 2>course Dakota is attached to EO and Live had to

552
00:33:05.319 --> 00:33:09.599
<v Speaker 2>fight EO Saturday, so it wasn't too much. But something

553
00:33:09.680 --> 00:33:12.599
<v Speaker 2>that did irritate me was the fact that as liv

554
00:33:12.799 --> 00:33:16.519
<v Speaker 2>was fighting Dakota, she decided that she wanted to try

555
00:33:16.559 --> 00:33:21.920
<v Speaker 2>the Three Amigos. And I'm sitting here like this gentrified

556
00:33:22.000 --> 00:33:24.960
<v Speaker 2>Three Amigos really needs to sit down between her and

557
00:33:25.119 --> 00:33:27.759
<v Speaker 2>Logan Paul. Y'all just don't need to do it. No, more.

558
00:33:27.880 --> 00:33:31.160
<v Speaker 2>It's not fun, y'all stop it. Just stop it. Y'all

559
00:33:31.279 --> 00:33:34.160
<v Speaker 2>think that just because y'all are in vicinity of these people,

560
00:33:34.240 --> 00:33:35.880
<v Speaker 2>y'all can just do it. And I understand they do

561
00:33:35.960 --> 00:33:39.079
<v Speaker 2>it to make us mad. But at the same time,

562
00:33:39.160 --> 00:33:41.519
<v Speaker 2>I just be like, girl, just stop, just stop. And

563
00:33:41.599 --> 00:33:44.400
<v Speaker 2>she didn't even do it. And she did it, but

564
00:33:44.519 --> 00:33:46.240
<v Speaker 2>she didn't do it all the way because of course

565
00:33:46.319 --> 00:33:50.119
<v Speaker 2>Dakota stopped her. But I was just like, okay, girl, okay, okay,

566
00:33:50.240 --> 00:33:53.319
<v Speaker 2>we get it. And yeah, she wanted the match and everything,

567
00:33:53.400 --> 00:33:56.640
<v Speaker 2>but then of course it ended in chaos like it

568
00:33:56.759 --> 00:34:01.319
<v Speaker 2>tends to do. So yeah, this was a very interesting

569
00:34:02.000 --> 00:34:04.799
<v Speaker 2>matchup for me, but I still thought it was it

570
00:34:04.960 --> 00:34:08.239
<v Speaker 2>kind of it was. It was weird, but I was like, Okay,

571
00:34:08.320 --> 00:34:11.639
<v Speaker 2>here we are, they're fighting. That's cool, let's go. And

572
00:34:11.719 --> 00:34:13.679
<v Speaker 2>Dakota did a heck of a job. And I can't

573
00:34:13.719 --> 00:34:17.000
<v Speaker 2>wait to see how much further she goes in the

574
00:34:17.079 --> 00:34:20.239
<v Speaker 2>Women's IC title tournament. Now that we have now crowned

575
00:34:20.360 --> 00:34:25.719
<v Speaker 2>the US champion, so it's gonna be interesting. Now we

576
00:34:25.920 --> 00:34:29.960
<v Speaker 2>get to the first round match that took place on

577
00:34:30.119 --> 00:34:34.400
<v Speaker 2>Monday nightra between Lyra Valkyria ivy Nle and my girls,

578
00:34:34.480 --> 00:34:38.840
<v Speaker 2>Alena Vega. This triple thread match was really good and

579
00:34:39.039 --> 00:34:42.000
<v Speaker 2>I was definitely pushing if you watched my last episode,

580
00:34:42.519 --> 00:34:45.000
<v Speaker 2>I was pushing for Zelena Vega to actually be given

581
00:34:45.079 --> 00:34:49.199
<v Speaker 2>an opportunity to move forward in the tournament. She did

582
00:34:49.639 --> 00:34:54.920
<v Speaker 2>a great job with her talent and with everything that

583
00:34:55.039 --> 00:34:59.440
<v Speaker 2>she had going on. But in the end, Lyra Valkyria

584
00:34:59.719 --> 00:35:03.199
<v Speaker 2>won by hitting her night wing onto Ivy Nile, and

585
00:35:03.639 --> 00:35:07.559
<v Speaker 2>Zelena was not pinned. So we do still have that

586
00:35:07.880 --> 00:35:09.760
<v Speaker 2>notion of the fact that she still looks strong in

587
00:35:09.840 --> 00:35:12.360
<v Speaker 2>the sense that she wasn't pinned. But I was still

588
00:35:12.519 --> 00:35:15.039
<v Speaker 2>very disappointed in the fact that she wasn't going forward,

589
00:35:15.079 --> 00:35:16.880
<v Speaker 2>and it was so sad because she got on Twitter

590
00:35:17.320 --> 00:35:20.159
<v Speaker 2>and apologized to the face she said sorry, and I'm

591
00:35:20.280 --> 00:35:23.960
<v Speaker 2>just like, girl, don't apologize. You did the very best

592
00:35:24.079 --> 00:35:26.679
<v Speaker 2>you could do, and I don't need you feeling sorry

593
00:35:26.800 --> 00:35:30.639
<v Speaker 2>for yourself, because miss ma'am, you fought tooth and nail

594
00:35:30.800 --> 00:35:34.440
<v Speaker 2>against Ivy Nile, who was like a stellar athlete, and

595
00:35:34.559 --> 00:35:38.400
<v Speaker 2>against Lyra Valkyria, who's a former NX Women's champion. Like,

596
00:35:38.760 --> 00:35:43.840
<v Speaker 2>do not feel sorry about anything. I could say so

597
00:35:44.000 --> 00:35:47.000
<v Speaker 2>many other things, but I would just rather say that

598
00:35:47.159 --> 00:35:50.880
<v Speaker 2>Zelena Vega is someone who is worthy of having more opportunities,

599
00:35:51.000 --> 00:35:55.159
<v Speaker 2>and I just don't want to see her lose over

600
00:35:55.400 --> 00:35:58.960
<v Speaker 2>and over again because we know that she is capable

601
00:35:59.079 --> 00:36:02.440
<v Speaker 2>of having great matches with anyone, even with people who

602
00:36:02.480 --> 00:36:04.920
<v Speaker 2>are bigger than her, like you know, rear Ripley, like

603
00:36:05.000 --> 00:36:09.000
<v Speaker 2>she did in back Backlash two years ago. It's like,

604
00:36:09.119 --> 00:36:12.079
<v Speaker 2>we know she's capable, but they just won't give her

605
00:36:12.159 --> 00:36:15.639
<v Speaker 2>the ball. And it's just like, when are y'all gonna

606
00:36:15.719 --> 00:36:20.039
<v Speaker 2>let this girl break out of being a manager, break

607
00:36:20.119 --> 00:36:24.519
<v Speaker 2>out of being you know, just an LWO member. She

608
00:36:24.679 --> 00:36:27.960
<v Speaker 2>shows you time and time again that she has the charisma,

609
00:36:28.079 --> 00:36:32.280
<v Speaker 2>she has athleticism, she has to crossover, appeal into different fandoms.

610
00:36:33.079 --> 00:36:35.079
<v Speaker 2>What more does she have to do to prove herself?

611
00:36:36.239 --> 00:36:40.039
<v Speaker 2>And it's just and it makes my heart hurt. But

612
00:36:40.159 --> 00:36:42.840
<v Speaker 2>we're not gonna give up hope. We're gonna keep hope

613
00:36:42.880 --> 00:36:46.760
<v Speaker 2>alive from my girl because she deserves it. Zelena is

614
00:36:46.880 --> 00:36:50.159
<v Speaker 2>everything and y'all just need to stop playing with her.

615
00:36:50.360 --> 00:36:55.800
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, this made me a little sad, but Zelena

616
00:36:55.920 --> 00:36:58.639
<v Speaker 2>is still my girl regardless, and I just can't wait

617
00:36:59.280 --> 00:37:04.800
<v Speaker 2>to see how she'll move forward. So yeah, that's all

618
00:37:04.840 --> 00:37:09.400
<v Speaker 2>I had to say about that. And then with the women,

619
00:37:09.480 --> 00:37:13.320
<v Speaker 2>you also had rear Ripley and Raquel finding it in

620
00:37:13.480 --> 00:37:16.400
<v Speaker 2>anything goes match in the main event of Raw, which

621
00:37:16.519 --> 00:37:21.239
<v Speaker 2>was the first of three main event shows, three main

622
00:37:21.320 --> 00:37:24.559
<v Speaker 2>events on all of the TV shows this week. It

623
00:37:24.679 --> 00:37:29.239
<v Speaker 2>was insane, but this match was really crazy. They were

624
00:37:29.280 --> 00:37:32.159
<v Speaker 2>throwing trash cans at each other, you know, murdering each

625
00:37:32.159 --> 00:37:35.800
<v Speaker 2>other on the commentary desk, and finally, of course, rear

626
00:37:35.880 --> 00:37:39.199
<v Speaker 2>Ripley put Raquel through the table in order to win

627
00:37:39.320 --> 00:37:42.519
<v Speaker 2>the match, hence why Raquel didn't really like buck up

628
00:37:42.559 --> 00:37:45.840
<v Speaker 2>at her on Saturday. So this match was fantastic. I

629
00:37:46.119 --> 00:37:49.119
<v Speaker 2>enjoyed the craziness of it, and here again women in

630
00:37:49.199 --> 00:37:52.559
<v Speaker 2>the main event is always a good thing. And of

631
00:37:52.679 --> 00:37:55.800
<v Speaker 2>course having that parallel tou Trish and Lyda just celebrating

632
00:37:55.840 --> 00:37:58.079
<v Speaker 2>their anniversary last week of when they main event in

633
00:37:58.159 --> 00:38:01.679
<v Speaker 2>Raw for the first time was just great. So I

634
00:38:01.920 --> 00:38:04.239
<v Speaker 2>enjoyed this match very much. It was the battle of

635
00:38:04.280 --> 00:38:07.119
<v Speaker 2>the big mamas, and Rio wound up on top because

636
00:38:07.199 --> 00:38:11.000
<v Speaker 2>Mommy's always on top, and it was great. So Riha

637
00:38:11.239 --> 00:38:15.679
<v Speaker 2>is our dominant queen of life and I just can't

638
00:38:15.719 --> 00:38:17.679
<v Speaker 2>wait to see her get her title back. Like I'm

639
00:38:17.760 --> 00:38:21.800
<v Speaker 2>ready for it all. So yeah, now when it comes

640
00:38:21.840 --> 00:38:27.159
<v Speaker 2>to the men on raw, CM Punk had a sit

641
00:38:27.280 --> 00:38:31.119
<v Speaker 2>down interview with Jackie Redman, which started off with her,

642
00:38:31.280 --> 00:38:33.920
<v Speaker 2>you know, wanting to ask a very important question, and

643
00:38:34.119 --> 00:38:36.760
<v Speaker 2>he started off by saying, look, if it's about the

644
00:38:36.880 --> 00:38:39.599
<v Speaker 2>Chicago Black Hearts and Hawks, I'm gonna fight you. And

645
00:38:39.880 --> 00:38:42.519
<v Speaker 2>she said, no, it's about something a little bit more important,

646
00:38:43.079 --> 00:38:47.320
<v Speaker 2>and he started laughing because they're hockey buddies. So she

647
00:38:47.599 --> 00:38:51.079
<v Speaker 2>asked him, you know what was what is the deal

648
00:38:51.320 --> 00:38:53.519
<v Speaker 2>that he's worked out with Paul Hayman, And of course

649
00:38:53.559 --> 00:38:56.320
<v Speaker 2>he's keeping that on the hush hush. But one thing

650
00:38:56.440 --> 00:38:59.320
<v Speaker 2>that he didn't keep on the hush hush was his

651
00:38:59.440 --> 00:39:03.639
<v Speaker 2>feelings about seth Rawlins. And when asked about seth Rawlins,

652
00:39:04.079 --> 00:39:06.840
<v Speaker 2>he proceeded to talk about how a long time ago,

653
00:39:07.400 --> 00:39:10.719
<v Speaker 2>a sixteen year old seth Rawlins asked him to train

654
00:39:10.920 --> 00:39:14.400
<v Speaker 2>him for free, and that's how passionate seth has been

655
00:39:14.519 --> 00:39:18.000
<v Speaker 2>about this wrestling business. Affected at sixteen, he wanted a

656
00:39:18.039 --> 00:39:22.719
<v Speaker 2>wrestler to train him for free. But he also talked

657
00:39:22.719 --> 00:39:27.840
<v Speaker 2>about how, for a long how when he created the shield,

658
00:39:27.960 --> 00:39:31.199
<v Speaker 2>even though he used coded language, he said that he

659
00:39:31.679 --> 00:39:35.599
<v Speaker 2>shielded Seth Rawlins from getting fired when he came up

660
00:39:35.679 --> 00:39:38.000
<v Speaker 2>with the concept of the shield because Seth was on

661
00:39:38.119 --> 00:39:41.800
<v Speaker 2>a list of top ten people to be fired from WWE.

662
00:39:42.039 --> 00:39:45.760
<v Speaker 2>And this disappointed me because I'm sitting here, like, how

663
00:39:45.920 --> 00:39:50.719
<v Speaker 2>y'all gonna fire the first ever NX champion? What y'all

664
00:39:50.760 --> 00:39:53.880
<v Speaker 2>were really about to let go of Seth Freaking Rawlins.

665
00:39:55.639 --> 00:39:58.320
<v Speaker 2>He was talented as heck, Like, how could y'all do that?

666
00:39:58.360 --> 00:40:01.039
<v Speaker 2>And he is still talented, Like, how could y'all prepare

667
00:40:01.119 --> 00:40:04.519
<v Speaker 2>to fire him? And seam Punk was here in this

668
00:40:04.639 --> 00:40:07.679
<v Speaker 2>interview taking credit for the fact that, look, I saved

669
00:40:07.760 --> 00:40:12.519
<v Speaker 2>him and shielded him from being fired. And you know,

670
00:40:12.840 --> 00:40:15.880
<v Speaker 2>if it wasn't for me leaving, then he probably would

671
00:40:15.960 --> 00:40:17.440
<v Speaker 2>not have had to have stepped up the way that

672
00:40:17.519 --> 00:40:19.840
<v Speaker 2>he did with the authority and all of the above.

673
00:40:20.440 --> 00:40:25.360
<v Speaker 2>And he called Seth Rollins second string and called himself

674
00:40:25.440 --> 00:40:28.199
<v Speaker 2>a main player, and I was like, Yo, that is nuts.

675
00:40:29.079 --> 00:40:34.280
<v Speaker 2>That was really really disrespectful. But hey, this is a

676
00:40:34.400 --> 00:40:38.199
<v Speaker 2>major few and all the gloves are off, so this

677
00:40:38.400 --> 00:40:40.639
<v Speaker 2>is where we're at. But it was insane to hear

678
00:40:40.760 --> 00:40:45.679
<v Speaker 2>seam Punk called Seth Freaking Rollins a second a second

679
00:40:45.760 --> 00:40:53.440
<v Speaker 2>string player, ouch ouch ouch ouch the disrespect, and so

680
00:40:53.639 --> 00:40:57.119
<v Speaker 2>Seth comes out and responds with his cookie Monster fit

681
00:40:57.239 --> 00:41:02.599
<v Speaker 2>on and his Nickelodeon glasses. He comes out and he responds,

682
00:41:03.239 --> 00:41:05.719
<v Speaker 2>and he says, yeah, it is true. I did ask

683
00:41:05.760 --> 00:41:09.079
<v Speaker 2>Seampunk to trade me at sixteen for free. That is true.

684
00:41:09.480 --> 00:41:13.119
<v Speaker 2>But something that Seeing Punk did not bring up was

685
00:41:13.199 --> 00:41:16.880
<v Speaker 2>the fact that when everything stopped going his way in

686
00:41:17.079 --> 00:41:20.599
<v Speaker 2>WWE and when he decided to leave and I was

687
00:41:20.679 --> 00:41:23.039
<v Speaker 2>trying to get in contact with him and talk with him,

688
00:41:23.519 --> 00:41:27.920
<v Speaker 2>he had cut everybody off and just said nothing. And

689
00:41:28.199 --> 00:41:31.639
<v Speaker 2>of course this left a sour taste in Seth Wrongs's mouth,

690
00:41:32.280 --> 00:41:34.519
<v Speaker 2>and he didn't like that, and that sort of feeds

691
00:41:34.599 --> 00:41:37.159
<v Speaker 2>into why, you know, they have this sort of beef

692
00:41:37.239 --> 00:41:39.920
<v Speaker 2>going on. It's the fact that him and Seth seemed

693
00:41:39.960 --> 00:41:42.440
<v Speaker 2>to be on good terms until See Him Punk left

694
00:41:42.480 --> 00:41:46.679
<v Speaker 2>in twenty fourteen and cut everybody off, and that just

695
00:41:47.400 --> 00:41:50.840
<v Speaker 2>I understand that level of pain because yo, like, I

696
00:41:50.960 --> 00:41:53.199
<v Speaker 2>had nothing to do with it personally, but you know,

697
00:41:53.320 --> 00:41:55.480
<v Speaker 2>don't just cut me off like I'm still your friend.

698
00:41:55.559 --> 00:42:01.280
<v Speaker 2>Don't do that. But yeah, it seems like Seth really

699
00:42:01.360 --> 00:42:04.719
<v Speaker 2>does have these really angry feelings that he's harboring towards Punk,

700
00:42:04.800 --> 00:42:07.400
<v Speaker 2>and Punk has angry feelings that he's harboring towards Seth.

701
00:42:08.079 --> 00:42:09.920
<v Speaker 2>And in the midst of this, of course, Sammy's ain

702
00:42:10.039 --> 00:42:12.800
<v Speaker 2>comes out and him and Seth have a heart to

703
00:42:12.920 --> 00:42:15.800
<v Speaker 2>heart and they apologize to each other. But it still

704
00:42:15.880 --> 00:42:18.800
<v Speaker 2>made me feel like somewhere down the line they might

705
00:42:18.920 --> 00:42:24.679
<v Speaker 2>fight each other again. It felt like a like a HM,

706
00:42:26.320 --> 00:42:30.920
<v Speaker 2>not like a It felt like a genuine apology, but

707
00:42:31.039 --> 00:42:33.440
<v Speaker 2>it didn't feel as genuine as it could have been.

708
00:42:33.639 --> 00:42:37.280
<v Speaker 2>So I feel like they're not entirely finished with each

709
00:42:37.320 --> 00:42:41.719
<v Speaker 2>other just yet. But that whole seeing Punk Seth's segment

710
00:42:41.920 --> 00:42:46.239
<v Speaker 2>was fired. I enjoyed it very much. So WHOA. I

711
00:42:46.280 --> 00:42:48.880
<v Speaker 2>feel like everything that we didn't get this year between

712
00:42:48.920 --> 00:42:50.920
<v Speaker 2>these two, we're definitely gonna get next year, and I'm

713
00:42:51.000 --> 00:42:59.639
<v Speaker 2>here for it. And then we have these two, these

714
00:43:01.559 --> 00:43:05.199
<v Speaker 2>who had the audacity to show up I'm sorry, I

715
00:43:05.280 --> 00:43:09.039
<v Speaker 2>got real loud. They had the audacity to show up

716
00:43:10.800 --> 00:43:15.480
<v Speaker 2>on raw backstage trying to wrap up everybody, and everybody

717
00:43:15.559 --> 00:43:17.559
<v Speaker 2>was looking at him like was looking at them, like, bro,

718
00:43:17.719 --> 00:43:19.760
<v Speaker 2>like we are not friends anymore? After what y'all did

719
00:43:19.800 --> 00:43:22.800
<v Speaker 2>the Biggie. They turned their backs on him. Natty turned

720
00:43:22.800 --> 00:43:25.639
<v Speaker 2>her back on them, and the Alpha Academy didn't want

721
00:43:25.679 --> 00:43:28.239
<v Speaker 2>to talk to them, No Mo. Nobody wanted to talk

722
00:43:28.280 --> 00:43:30.360
<v Speaker 2>to them, no MO. And then they said, look, we're

723
00:43:30.400 --> 00:43:32.239
<v Speaker 2>gonna tell our side of the story. And then they

724
00:43:32.320 --> 00:43:36.239
<v Speaker 2>stole a camera from backstage because they didn't want to

725
00:43:36.239 --> 00:43:39.199
<v Speaker 2>be interviewed by Kathy Kelly on the notion that she

726
00:43:39.599 --> 00:43:42.639
<v Speaker 2>wasn't unbiased. And they told and they wanted to tell

727
00:43:42.679 --> 00:43:45.880
<v Speaker 2>their own story only to come out to the Wichita,

728
00:43:46.039 --> 00:43:50.000
<v Speaker 2>Kansas crowd and they booed the crap out of them,

729
00:43:51.719 --> 00:43:54.159
<v Speaker 2>and I mean booed the crap out of them. It

730
00:43:54.320 --> 00:44:00.920
<v Speaker 2>felt like two years ago when Dominic turned on his daddy,

731
00:44:01.480 --> 00:44:06.079
<v Speaker 2>except turned up to eleven. You couldn't hear a word

732
00:44:06.280 --> 00:44:10.920
<v Speaker 2>that Koffee and Xavier were trying to say. And that,

733
00:44:11.159 --> 00:44:18.920
<v Speaker 2>my friends, is how you know you have leffed up royally. Koffee, Xavier,

734
00:44:19.519 --> 00:44:22.239
<v Speaker 2>y'all thought everybody was gonna be on y'all side after

735
00:44:22.320 --> 00:44:27.360
<v Speaker 2>you broke the heart of the Powerhouse of Positivity. No,

736
00:44:28.519 --> 00:44:31.280
<v Speaker 2>don't nobody like y'all right now? And then what's so

737
00:44:31.400 --> 00:44:35.119
<v Speaker 2>funny is ww was hilarious because they released this footage

738
00:44:35.119 --> 00:44:37.000
<v Speaker 2>of them doing charity work for the Boys and Girls

739
00:44:37.039 --> 00:44:41.079
<v Speaker 2>Club of America or whatever charity that was. And I'm

740
00:44:41.119 --> 00:44:46.599
<v Speaker 2>seeing here like y'all are hilarious for sharing that, considering

741
00:44:46.679 --> 00:44:49.440
<v Speaker 2>after what they did, the collective of adults are angry

742
00:44:49.519 --> 00:44:54.320
<v Speaker 2>with them of what like, sweetie, no, this is not

743
00:44:54.400 --> 00:44:57.280
<v Speaker 2>what we're doing. We're not gonna sit out here and

744
00:44:57.320 --> 00:45:00.239
<v Speaker 2>pretend that what you did was a good thing. And

745
00:45:00.360 --> 00:45:02.760
<v Speaker 2>then what made it ten times worse for me, what

746
00:45:02.960 --> 00:45:06.760
<v Speaker 2>really made me angrier was the fact that Kofi was

747
00:45:06.840 --> 00:45:11.079
<v Speaker 2>gonna go in his narcissistic bag and talk about, oh, so,

748
00:45:11.239 --> 00:45:14.000
<v Speaker 2>after ten years of all these good times, y'all gonna

749
00:45:14.039 --> 00:45:17.320
<v Speaker 2>turn y'all backs on us because of this one bad night.

750
00:45:17.519 --> 00:45:20.360
<v Speaker 2>And I'm like, yes, because that bad night was horrible,

751
00:45:20.639 --> 00:45:22.679
<v Speaker 2>and you broke the heart of your friend who was

752
00:45:22.760 --> 00:45:26.360
<v Speaker 2>down for y'all when nobody else was down for y'all. Yes,

753
00:45:26.559 --> 00:45:28.960
<v Speaker 2>we are turning our backs to you. Yes we are

754
00:45:29.039 --> 00:45:30.639
<v Speaker 2>booing you, and yes we don't want to hear a

755
00:45:30.719 --> 00:45:36.880
<v Speaker 2>word you got to say, eat it, be grown, be responsible,

756
00:45:37.199 --> 00:45:42.159
<v Speaker 2>take accountability, and eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it,

757
00:45:42.239 --> 00:45:46.320
<v Speaker 2>eat it, eat it, eat it up. You did that.

758
00:45:47.239 --> 00:45:49.760
<v Speaker 2>You made your plate, not eat it, And I don't

759
00:45:49.800 --> 00:45:56.000
<v Speaker 2>feel sorry for one bit okay, whatever, Moving on, because

760
00:45:56.119 --> 00:45:58.199
<v Speaker 2>if I talk about it anymore, I'm gonna get even

761
00:45:58.239 --> 00:46:06.360
<v Speaker 2>more angry, So let me move. Finn Balor shaded the

762
00:46:06.559 --> 00:46:12.599
<v Speaker 2>crap out of Dominic Monday, and he was talking about

763
00:46:12.639 --> 00:46:16.880
<v Speaker 2>how Dominic didn't deserve an opportunity at the World Heavyweight Championship,

764
00:46:17.280 --> 00:46:21.679
<v Speaker 2>but he did, and it's just so funny. I really

765
00:46:21.760 --> 00:46:24.960
<v Speaker 2>feel like if Finn had won the title last night,

766
00:46:25.440 --> 00:46:28.519
<v Speaker 2>his ego would have been more out of control than

767
00:46:28.559 --> 00:46:31.960
<v Speaker 2>it already is, and he probably would have been shading

768
00:46:32.039 --> 00:46:34.360
<v Speaker 2>a judgment day more and more, and probably would have

769
00:46:34.400 --> 00:46:36.400
<v Speaker 2>felt like he was supposed to be the leader more

770
00:46:36.440 --> 00:46:40.360
<v Speaker 2>and more, even though their whole reasoning for kicking out

771
00:46:40.480 --> 00:46:42.639
<v Speaker 2>Damien and Rio was the fact that they didn't want

772
00:46:42.679 --> 00:46:45.400
<v Speaker 2>any leaders. But then you got Finn out here acting

773
00:46:45.480 --> 00:46:48.519
<v Speaker 2>like he's Billy badass and acting like he's the leader,

774
00:46:48.559 --> 00:46:53.559
<v Speaker 2>and it's just like, sweetie, why are you shading Dominic

775
00:46:54.000 --> 00:46:57.280
<v Speaker 2>just because he didn't win, or because he didn't or

776
00:46:57.360 --> 00:46:59.800
<v Speaker 2>you felt like he didn't deserve the opportunity, but you did.

777
00:47:00.440 --> 00:47:02.840
<v Speaker 2>This is all a part of Finn crashing out because

778
00:47:02.840 --> 00:47:05.840
<v Speaker 2>he's never won a world title since he had to

779
00:47:05.920 --> 00:47:08.480
<v Speaker 2>give up the Universal title years ago do the injury.

780
00:47:09.719 --> 00:47:11.840
<v Speaker 2>This is just him crashing out all because of that,

781
00:47:14.800 --> 00:47:18.119
<v Speaker 2>and now it's fully manifesting itself in this way. I

782
00:47:18.199 --> 00:47:20.840
<v Speaker 2>feel like it ain't gonna be long until Dominic and

783
00:47:20.920 --> 00:47:23.000
<v Speaker 2>all the other judgment they just gonna kick him out.

784
00:47:23.440 --> 00:47:26.920
<v Speaker 2>I feel like once him and JD lose the tag titles,

785
00:47:27.719 --> 00:47:29.679
<v Speaker 2>that's really when the writing is gonna be on the

786
00:47:29.719 --> 00:47:32.639
<v Speaker 2>wall and they gonna take him out. They gonna take

787
00:47:32.679 --> 00:47:34.039
<v Speaker 2>him out, and they gonna be like, look, you're not

788
00:47:34.119 --> 00:47:38.000
<v Speaker 2>a part of this group anymore. You're gone, And yeah,

789
00:47:39.039 --> 00:47:40.760
<v Speaker 2>that's gonna be the end of it for Finn. But

790
00:47:41.000 --> 00:47:44.599
<v Speaker 2>Finn is really just out here just being unfocused and

791
00:47:44.679 --> 00:47:49.679
<v Speaker 2>crashing out, and it's just annoying. But I'm just really

792
00:47:49.760 --> 00:47:52.199
<v Speaker 2>gonna need for the New Day. If they're out here

793
00:47:52.840 --> 00:47:55.079
<v Speaker 2>talking all this trash and acting like what they've done

794
00:47:55.199 --> 00:47:58.639
<v Speaker 2>is the greatest thing ever, take the tag titles off

795
00:47:58.679 --> 00:48:00.800
<v Speaker 2>of them. Even though I know Far and JD has

796
00:48:00.840 --> 00:48:03.679
<v Speaker 2>to fight the war Raiders, I really feel like it

797
00:48:03.760 --> 00:48:05.400
<v Speaker 2>should be the New Day that has to take the

798
00:48:05.480 --> 00:48:09.000
<v Speaker 2>titles off of them, because honestly, if you've gone this bad,

799
00:48:09.159 --> 00:48:10.880
<v Speaker 2>you might as well goingate it. Back it up by

800
00:48:10.920 --> 00:48:14.559
<v Speaker 2>taking her titles, but we'll see how that works out,

801
00:48:14.960 --> 00:48:17.360
<v Speaker 2>but either way, Finn is a crash out and he

802
00:48:17.480 --> 00:48:22.119
<v Speaker 2>needs Jesus. Now, moving into the NXT side of things,

803
00:48:22.800 --> 00:48:26.320
<v Speaker 2>the women open up the show with Julia of course

804
00:48:26.440 --> 00:48:29.239
<v Speaker 2>celebrating the fact that she's the Iron Survivor for this year,

805
00:48:29.360 --> 00:48:34.159
<v Speaker 2>so congratulations to her for that, and she gets interrupted

806
00:48:34.199 --> 00:48:37.960
<v Speaker 2>by Roxanne and Jade and they decide to gang up

807
00:48:38.039 --> 00:48:41.079
<v Speaker 2>on her because of course afterward they both well. Beforehand,

808
00:48:41.559 --> 00:48:44.639
<v Speaker 2>they attacked Stephanie of Akur, so it looked like Julia

809
00:48:44.800 --> 00:48:46.840
<v Speaker 2>was out here by herself and didn't have a friend.

810
00:48:48.280 --> 00:48:56.119
<v Speaker 2>But Klane pops up surprisingly to defend Julia and make

811
00:48:56.199 --> 00:48:58.800
<v Speaker 2>the odds even because of course she's always the voice

812
00:48:58.840 --> 00:49:00.719
<v Speaker 2>of reason when it comes to to like this, and

813
00:49:00.800 --> 00:49:04.320
<v Speaker 2>I really enjoyed this, even though when I was looking back,

814
00:49:04.480 --> 00:49:09.440
<v Speaker 2>I realized that Julia defeated Kilani in order to get

815
00:49:09.519 --> 00:49:12.400
<v Speaker 2>in the Iris Survivor match. So I'm wondering if somewhere

816
00:49:12.480 --> 00:49:15.440
<v Speaker 2>down the line this might mean that Klanie might turn

817
00:49:15.559 --> 00:49:19.280
<v Speaker 2>heel or might be you know, having an ulterial motive

818
00:49:19.559 --> 00:49:21.920
<v Speaker 2>or whatever. But I would love it if she just

819
00:49:22.000 --> 00:49:24.679
<v Speaker 2>remained a babyface, because I just love cheering for Colone.

820
00:49:25.079 --> 00:49:27.639
<v Speaker 2>She's so talented and so cool and I just love

821
00:49:28.039 --> 00:49:31.559
<v Speaker 2>seeing her be a babyface where it seems like there's

822
00:49:31.599 --> 00:49:34.320
<v Speaker 2>so many evil people just take it over every other brand,

823
00:49:34.880 --> 00:49:38.400
<v Speaker 2>Like keep a baby face for me, please, and please

824
00:49:38.519 --> 00:49:41.880
<v Speaker 2>keep Kilane as one. I just loved seeing Colonne, you know,

825
00:49:42.039 --> 00:49:45.639
<v Speaker 2>come to Julia's defense. This was cool, and it led

826
00:49:45.679 --> 00:49:48.920
<v Speaker 2>to them having a tag team match against Cora and

827
00:49:49.079 --> 00:49:54.280
<v Speaker 2>Roth Saying, and it was really cool. Then on top

828
00:49:54.320 --> 00:49:56.440
<v Speaker 2>of that, in a women's vision, you had the return

829
00:49:56.599 --> 00:50:00.480
<v Speaker 2>of Shatzi. This made me so glad because I was

830
00:50:00.519 --> 00:50:03.559
<v Speaker 2>Loki getting scared, like scared that Shatzi might not be

831
00:50:03.639 --> 00:50:06.280
<v Speaker 2>ever coming back because she did have a really bad

832
00:50:06.360 --> 00:50:08.800
<v Speaker 2>injury that she did have to recover from. And in

833
00:50:08.880 --> 00:50:11.119
<v Speaker 2>the midst of that she was doing Haunted House stuff

834
00:50:11.199 --> 00:50:13.639
<v Speaker 2>with Scarlet and that was really cool too. But I

835
00:50:13.719 --> 00:50:15.320
<v Speaker 2>was just like, man, when an't we gonna see Shatzi

836
00:50:15.360 --> 00:50:18.880
<v Speaker 2>in a ring again? She popped up on NXT to

837
00:50:19.039 --> 00:50:22.599
<v Speaker 2>even up the odds against Fatal Influence and helping Gigi

838
00:50:22.719 --> 00:50:26.000
<v Speaker 2>Dolan and Tatum Pasley, and this made me so happy

839
00:50:26.039 --> 00:50:29.199
<v Speaker 2>because I'm just like, yes, shotsy, Yes. Shatzi was one

840
00:50:29.199 --> 00:50:31.960
<v Speaker 2>of my favorites and the idea that she had been

841
00:50:32.000 --> 00:50:34.239
<v Speaker 2>gone for so long. I was like, man, if she

842
00:50:34.360 --> 00:50:36.079
<v Speaker 2>comes back, I wonder if she's gonna come back on

843
00:50:36.119 --> 00:50:38.239
<v Speaker 2>the main roster or maybe in NXT. And I'm so

844
00:50:38.360 --> 00:50:40.840
<v Speaker 2>happy she came back an NXT because she just fits

845
00:50:40.920 --> 00:50:43.760
<v Speaker 2>the vibe of it. I'm just really happy that she's

846
00:50:43.880 --> 00:50:46.559
<v Speaker 2>back with Gigi and Tatum. She just fits their whole

847
00:50:46.679 --> 00:50:49.159
<v Speaker 2>vibe and I'm just pumped about it. So now it

848
00:50:49.239 --> 00:50:52.199
<v Speaker 2>looks like there's another three woman group being formed here

849
00:50:52.239 --> 00:50:54.559
<v Speaker 2>to go up against Fatal Influence, and I'm just really

850
00:50:54.599 --> 00:51:00.519
<v Speaker 2>happy about it. So Yay, Shatzi's back. Love it, love it.

851
00:51:02.159 --> 00:51:04.519
<v Speaker 2>And they're cute together too, and Tatum has a doll.

852
00:51:05.719 --> 00:51:08.760
<v Speaker 2>Tatum has a Shatzea doll. So now we're gonna play

853
00:51:09.079 --> 00:51:13.519
<v Speaker 2>and it's gonna be fun. And then another part that

854
00:51:13.599 --> 00:51:16.280
<v Speaker 2>I enjoyed was the fact that Stephanie Verkerr did not

855
00:51:18.039 --> 00:51:22.159
<v Speaker 2>let them attack, did not let Cora and Roxanne attack

856
00:51:22.280 --> 00:51:25.760
<v Speaker 2>her without getting her lick back, and she came from

857
00:51:25.840 --> 00:51:30.960
<v Speaker 2>behind after Roxanne and Kor won their match and attacked

858
00:51:31.079 --> 00:51:34.400
<v Speaker 2>them and then not only attacked them, but then took

859
00:51:34.519 --> 00:51:36.840
<v Speaker 2>Cora's stick that she loves to bring out and beat

860
00:51:36.920 --> 00:51:39.960
<v Speaker 2>people with and broke it with her knees, and I

861
00:51:40.159 --> 00:51:43.280
<v Speaker 2>was so happy about that because y'all not finna jump

862
00:51:43.400 --> 00:51:47.280
<v Speaker 2>my dark angel, my dark angel named twin and get

863
00:51:47.360 --> 00:51:51.159
<v Speaker 2>away with it. And she broke the stick and I'm

864
00:51:51.239 --> 00:51:53.400
<v Speaker 2>so happy that she did that because Cora just be

865
00:51:53.519 --> 00:51:57.480
<v Speaker 2>out here acting like she's just the baddest thing walking

866
00:51:57.599 --> 00:52:01.440
<v Speaker 2>and stuff. But it's like you use, It's like you

867
00:52:01.599 --> 00:52:04.760
<v Speaker 2>and Rock Sande are like the Terror Twins. It's like

868
00:52:04.800 --> 00:52:06.840
<v Speaker 2>y'all are trying to help each other and y'all matches,

869
00:52:07.079 --> 00:52:09.800
<v Speaker 2>y'all be trying to cheat for each other and use

870
00:52:09.960 --> 00:52:13.599
<v Speaker 2>weapons that are illegal. So boom, I'm glad Stephanie broke it.

871
00:52:14.079 --> 00:52:16.840
<v Speaker 2>I'm really glad because watching Cora out here with it

872
00:52:17.000 --> 00:52:20.920
<v Speaker 2>was just like okay, girl, okay. And now Stephanie cracked it,

873
00:52:21.000 --> 00:52:23.639
<v Speaker 2>and I'm so happy. I hope this means that Cora

874
00:52:23.760 --> 00:52:25.880
<v Speaker 2>and Stephanie are gonna have a match against each other,

875
00:52:27.320 --> 00:52:30.440
<v Speaker 2>and if so, then I'm here for Stephanie getting her

876
00:52:30.480 --> 00:52:37.039
<v Speaker 2>revenge and getting her lick back. So yeah, Stephanie. Now

877
00:52:39.760 --> 00:52:46.280
<v Speaker 2>Oba Femi is the Men's Iron survivor. We thought he

878
00:52:46.519 --> 00:52:50.119
<v Speaker 2>was the one that knocked out Eddie forpe but of

879
00:52:50.239 --> 00:52:53.760
<v Speaker 2>course that would begin to reveal itself on Tuesday. But

880
00:52:54.000 --> 00:52:58.960
<v Speaker 2>something that I enjoyed so much was watching the interaction

881
00:52:59.119 --> 00:53:06.800
<v Speaker 2>between Oba and Trick Williams, the NXC champion, because what

882
00:53:07.119 --> 00:53:13.400
<v Speaker 2>they give in terms of strength and in terms of aura,

883
00:53:14.119 --> 00:53:20.320
<v Speaker 2>it's just unmatched. These are two dominant, beautiful black men

884
00:53:21.320 --> 00:53:27.440
<v Speaker 2>standing in this ring, staring each other down, giving an

885
00:53:27.519 --> 00:53:32.079
<v Speaker 2>aura off, and I just cannot wait to see what

886
00:53:32.199 --> 00:53:37.440
<v Speaker 2>this match is gonna give, because, oh my god, this

887
00:53:38.079 --> 00:53:44.079
<v Speaker 2>their whole interaction was amazing. Their promo was fire. Ova

888
00:53:44.960 --> 00:53:48.039
<v Speaker 2>was low key killing Trick because he was telling Trick like, look,

889
00:53:48.079 --> 00:53:50.280
<v Speaker 2>the only reason you are the top guy here in

890
00:53:50.400 --> 00:53:52.719
<v Speaker 2>NXC is because I let you be the top guy,

891
00:53:52.760 --> 00:53:55.639
<v Speaker 2>and I was just like what that was so nuts?

892
00:53:55.760 --> 00:53:58.440
<v Speaker 2>It was just really nuts for me. And then Trick

893
00:53:58.599 --> 00:54:01.360
<v Speaker 2>wasn't backing down either. So of course, now these two

894
00:54:01.480 --> 00:54:03.840
<v Speaker 2>have to fight at New Year's Evil. But there's a

895
00:54:03.880 --> 00:54:05.440
<v Speaker 2>part of me that would have loved it if they

896
00:54:05.519 --> 00:54:09.840
<v Speaker 2>had saved this match for Stand and Deliver, because these

897
00:54:09.880 --> 00:54:13.559
<v Speaker 2>are just two powerful entities and I just feel like

898
00:54:13.679 --> 00:54:16.079
<v Speaker 2>this is such a big money match that could just

899
00:54:16.199 --> 00:54:19.280
<v Speaker 2>wait for WrestleMania weekend. But of course, you know, since

900
00:54:19.679 --> 00:54:24.000
<v Speaker 2>that's gonna be the weekend of 're going to to Netflix,

901
00:54:24.280 --> 00:54:27.119
<v Speaker 2>and it's gonna be huge anyway, you know, after the

902
00:54:27.199 --> 00:54:29.159
<v Speaker 2>New Year. I mean, of course they're doing it for that,

903
00:54:29.760 --> 00:54:33.719
<v Speaker 2>but they just have the aura of just star quality

904
00:54:33.800 --> 00:54:35.960
<v Speaker 2>that would have made me want to love to see

905
00:54:36.000 --> 00:54:40.239
<v Speaker 2>this on a grander stage. But I'm happy that we're

906
00:54:40.239 --> 00:54:44.199
<v Speaker 2>getting it regardless, because look at these two men. Look

907
00:54:44.280 --> 00:54:49.800
<v Speaker 2>at them. They just exude strength and bad assy and

908
00:54:49.880 --> 00:54:52.800
<v Speaker 2>I'm just so happy. I'm so happy that this match

909
00:54:52.920 --> 00:54:55.519
<v Speaker 2>is happening. Like they're just two of the biggest stars

910
00:54:55.559 --> 00:54:58.119
<v Speaker 2>in NXT has to offer in terms of their men's division,

911
00:54:58.840 --> 00:55:00.400
<v Speaker 2>and they're gonna get ready to fight each other, and

912
00:55:00.480 --> 00:55:02.840
<v Speaker 2>I'm so excited. It's gonna feed us, It's going to

913
00:55:03.000 --> 00:55:06.079
<v Speaker 2>feed us so well. I'm so happy. I am so

914
00:55:06.239 --> 00:55:11.159
<v Speaker 2>happy that this is happening. There's a part of me

915
00:55:11.239 --> 00:55:15.440
<v Speaker 2>that wants Trick to retain, but if he doesn't, I

916
00:55:15.480 --> 00:55:19.159
<v Speaker 2>won't be mad either, because Oba it's just kind of

917
00:55:19.280 --> 00:55:23.159
<v Speaker 2>like the Thanos of NXT. He's just inevitable. So I

918
00:55:23.320 --> 00:55:26.239
<v Speaker 2>just don't know. I'm so excited. I'm just excited about

919
00:55:26.239 --> 00:55:29.280
<v Speaker 2>the match as a whole. And it was so funny

920
00:55:29.360 --> 00:55:33.159
<v Speaker 2>that We're having their interaction but straight up ignoring Eddie Thorpe,

921
00:55:33.400 --> 00:55:36.079
<v Speaker 2>and it was just so funny how that was going on.

922
00:55:36.400 --> 00:55:41.519
<v Speaker 2>But ooh, the ore from these men and the beauty

923
00:55:41.639 --> 00:55:45.159
<v Speaker 2>of them both just it just further solidifies why I

924
00:55:45.360 --> 00:55:48.119
<v Speaker 2>just love black men as a whole. I love everybody

925
00:55:48.960 --> 00:55:53.760
<v Speaker 2>but black men. Lord Jesus, I love them and I

926
00:55:53.880 --> 00:56:01.400
<v Speaker 2>love mine too, So yeah, oh it was great. And

927
00:56:01.480 --> 00:56:04.760
<v Speaker 2>then of course you have the falling ego of Ethan Page.

928
00:56:05.480 --> 00:56:08.320
<v Speaker 2>Because Ethan Page is not the Iron Survivor and because

929
00:56:08.360 --> 00:56:12.960
<v Speaker 2>he's not the NXC champion, he's not feeling his best

930
00:56:13.079 --> 00:56:18.400
<v Speaker 2>self nowadays. He's feeling kind of not confident. He's lost

931
00:56:18.440 --> 00:56:22.119
<v Speaker 2>his confidence, he's lost his ego, and now he just

932
00:56:22.199 --> 00:56:25.639
<v Speaker 2>doesn't know what to do. So in the midst of this,

933
00:56:26.119 --> 00:56:30.320
<v Speaker 2>he gets offered a North American title match by Tony DiAngelo,

934
00:56:30.920 --> 00:56:33.000
<v Speaker 2>and he tried to act like it was beneath him

935
00:56:33.039 --> 00:56:36.199
<v Speaker 2>because he was an NXC champion once, But then when

936
00:56:36.280 --> 00:56:39.320
<v Speaker 2>Tony was offering it to somebody else, he was like, wait, no,

937
00:56:39.440 --> 00:56:42.960
<v Speaker 2>I'll take it. I'll take it. I'm sitting here like Ethan,

938
00:56:44.599 --> 00:56:49.599
<v Speaker 2>do not play the A championship like that, Okay, Carmel

939
00:56:49.679 --> 00:56:54.039
<v Speaker 2>Ohayes did not fight for years on end and hold

940
00:56:54.119 --> 00:56:57.039
<v Speaker 2>that title twice for you to just try to like

941
00:56:57.159 --> 00:56:59.880
<v Speaker 2>put down that title as beneath you, like, stop it.

942
00:57:00.159 --> 00:57:03.159
<v Speaker 2>That's not what we're doing here. The North American title

943
00:57:03.320 --> 00:57:06.079
<v Speaker 2>is very much prestigious, Okay, because if it wasn't, then

944
00:57:06.159 --> 00:57:08.960
<v Speaker 2>why would obafe me even have held it for as

945
00:57:09.000 --> 00:57:10.639
<v Speaker 2>long as he did and treasured it the way that

946
00:57:10.719 --> 00:57:12.519
<v Speaker 2>he did, Like, don't do that, Like that was just

947
00:57:12.679 --> 00:57:16.119
<v Speaker 2>real rude, and he wound up losing that. So now

948
00:57:16.440 --> 00:57:19.239
<v Speaker 2>even page he's just kind of lost. Right now, he's

949
00:57:19.280 --> 00:57:21.639
<v Speaker 2>lost in the sauce, and I guess now he just

950
00:57:21.719 --> 00:57:24.039
<v Speaker 2>needs to figure out what's gonna happen next with him.

951
00:57:24.280 --> 00:57:30.360
<v Speaker 2>So I don't know, I don't know, I don't know.

952
00:57:32.079 --> 00:57:38.000
<v Speaker 2>It's not NX me anymore. Let's play a song on

953
00:57:38.079 --> 00:57:45.039
<v Speaker 2>the world's smallest violin. Let me stop. Okay, But yeah,

954
00:57:46.159 --> 00:57:51.079
<v Speaker 2>he's lost, and then we do have something else that's

955
00:57:51.159 --> 00:57:54.679
<v Speaker 2>intriguing me with Hank and Take. I want to say

956
00:57:54.760 --> 00:57:56.960
<v Speaker 2>congratulations to Hank and Tank by the way, because they

957
00:57:57.039 --> 00:57:59.880
<v Speaker 2>did win the Reality of Wrestling Tag Team Championship this week,

958
00:58:00.639 --> 00:58:03.519
<v Speaker 2>so big up to them for that. But they had

959
00:58:03.559 --> 00:58:08.599
<v Speaker 2>a match against Tyson and Tyreek and they're well it

960
00:58:08.639 --> 00:58:12.400
<v Speaker 2>was Tyson DuPont and Tyreek Egway. That's their names. But

961
00:58:12.679 --> 00:58:15.480
<v Speaker 2>I have a nickname for them. I call them Tye Squared.

962
00:58:17.280 --> 00:58:19.840
<v Speaker 2>And they are really dominant ag team that me and

963
00:58:20.000 --> 00:58:22.679
<v Speaker 2>my father have grown a liking to. My dad loves

964
00:58:22.760 --> 00:58:25.119
<v Speaker 2>him because he says that ty Square reminds him of

965
00:58:25.239 --> 00:58:28.360
<v Speaker 2>Doom and how big they are and everything like, he

966
00:58:28.559 --> 00:58:32.440
<v Speaker 2>loves him and he just doesn't like it when they lose.

967
00:58:32.559 --> 00:58:34.559
<v Speaker 2>But it almost seems as if ty and Tye are

968
00:58:34.639 --> 00:58:38.400
<v Speaker 2>going through a really hard time right now, considering they

969
00:58:38.559 --> 00:58:43.559
<v Speaker 2>lost their match against Tank and Tank and Tyson wanted

970
00:58:43.639 --> 00:58:48.599
<v Speaker 2>to show sportsmanship, but Tyreek was like, I don't want

971
00:58:48.639 --> 00:58:50.079
<v Speaker 2>to do this right now. He was like, I don't

972
00:58:50.119 --> 00:58:52.519
<v Speaker 2>want to shake your hand, Like no, I'm sick it is.

973
00:58:53.079 --> 00:58:55.599
<v Speaker 2>So it's looking like maybe they one of them either

974
00:58:55.679 --> 00:58:58.039
<v Speaker 2>might have a change in attitude or they both might

975
00:58:58.199 --> 00:59:00.320
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, or maybe they'll break up. I don't

976
00:59:00.360 --> 00:59:02.920
<v Speaker 2>want them to break up because we're still scratching the

977
00:59:03.000 --> 00:59:05.400
<v Speaker 2>surface on them as a tag team, So I want

978
00:59:05.519 --> 00:59:08.800
<v Speaker 2>ty Square to stay together. But if they have a

979
00:59:08.920 --> 00:59:11.440
<v Speaker 2>change in attitude, then that would be okay with me.

980
00:59:11.559 --> 00:59:14.599
<v Speaker 2>But here again, we have too many people turning Hill like,

981
00:59:15.480 --> 00:59:18.199
<v Speaker 2>let me keep some babyfaces. But in the midst of

982
00:59:18.280 --> 00:59:22.440
<v Speaker 2>all of that, if they turned and I wouldn't have

983
00:59:22.519 --> 00:59:26.920
<v Speaker 2>an issue with it. But yeah, they're still really new,

984
00:59:27.039 --> 00:59:28.599
<v Speaker 2>so we're still getting to know them. But I just

985
00:59:28.679 --> 00:59:31.440
<v Speaker 2>know every time I see them, I think they're cool.

986
00:59:31.599 --> 00:59:35.400
<v Speaker 2>So we just gotta wait and see. But big upsit

987
00:59:35.480 --> 00:59:37.400
<v Speaker 2>them and the good tag team match Todad because it

988
00:59:37.480 --> 00:59:44.199
<v Speaker 2>was really fire. So yeah, and Eddie Thorpe, that man

989
00:59:45.559 --> 00:59:49.840
<v Speaker 2>decided to be real sneaky and because he now has

990
00:59:49.960 --> 00:59:55.239
<v Speaker 2>a championship match against Treick Williams I believe this week

991
00:59:55.519 --> 00:59:58.880
<v Speaker 2>coming up. This week, he signed his contract with AVA

992
00:59:59.559 --> 01:00:01.039
<v Speaker 2>and you know, so he acted like he was all

993
01:00:01.119 --> 01:00:04.440
<v Speaker 2>grateful for it and everything. But then AVA told him, well,

994
01:00:04.559 --> 01:00:07.119
<v Speaker 2>we're still looking into who attacked you last week, and

995
01:00:07.199 --> 01:00:10.599
<v Speaker 2>he said, I know who attacked me, and AVA was like,

996
01:00:10.639 --> 01:00:12.440
<v Speaker 2>what do you mean. He was like, I attacked me,

997
01:00:13.920 --> 01:00:17.079
<v Speaker 2>so I got this championship match and didn't have to

998
01:00:17.559 --> 01:00:19.960
<v Speaker 2>fight through hell in twenty five minutes to do it.

999
01:00:20.599 --> 01:00:25.119
<v Speaker 2>See you in Massachusetts And I was like, oh, so

1000
01:00:25.480 --> 01:00:30.199
<v Speaker 2>Eddie Thorpe really okie dot us. He really okie dot

1001
01:00:30.320 --> 01:00:34.639
<v Speaker 2>us he's a heel now and he played in Ava's face.

1002
01:00:36.519 --> 01:00:38.519
<v Speaker 2>I feel like he is going to get some type

1003
01:00:38.559 --> 01:00:42.239
<v Speaker 2>of really horrible consequence from this, because you just do

1004
01:00:42.400 --> 01:00:46.039
<v Speaker 2>not play in the NXC general manager's face like that,

1005
01:00:47.440 --> 01:00:50.800
<v Speaker 2>all just to get a championship match. That's crazy. You

1006
01:00:50.960 --> 01:00:55.760
<v Speaker 2>stayed your own attack for a match. That is crazy.

1007
01:00:56.400 --> 01:01:02.159
<v Speaker 2>It's smart, but it's crazy. But Jesus Christ, Eddie, and

1008
01:01:02.280 --> 01:01:04.480
<v Speaker 2>then you did it while wearing the Thorpe jacket too,

1009
01:01:04.639 --> 01:01:09.719
<v Speaker 2>Like sweetie, come on, that was nuts. But we'll see

1010
01:01:09.760 --> 01:01:12.159
<v Speaker 2>how it turns out on Tuesday. But that was a

1011
01:01:12.239 --> 01:01:17.920
<v Speaker 2>really slick turn. Now, moving into the aew side of things,

1012
01:01:18.079 --> 01:01:21.480
<v Speaker 2>Winter is coming just passed by, and the biggest thing

1013
01:01:21.559 --> 01:01:23.320
<v Speaker 2>that I wanted to talk about was the fact that

1014
01:01:24.800 --> 01:01:29.800
<v Speaker 2>miss ma'am Tony Storm number one on the women's two

1015
01:01:29.800 --> 01:01:33.840
<v Speaker 2>point fifty for PWI, made her grand return to Dynamite,

1016
01:01:34.480 --> 01:01:38.639
<v Speaker 2>but not as the timeless one, but as herself with

1017
01:01:38.800 --> 01:01:41.639
<v Speaker 2>the shorts and the glasses and the hat and everything.

1018
01:01:42.280 --> 01:01:47.519
<v Speaker 2>She came back regular Tony is here, And of course

1019
01:01:47.639 --> 01:01:50.079
<v Speaker 2>this shocked the crap out of Mariah May because she

1020
01:01:50.400 --> 01:01:53.519
<v Speaker 2>was defending her title against Mina Shirakawa in the main

1021
01:01:53.599 --> 01:01:56.079
<v Speaker 2>event here again, another show that had women in the

1022
01:01:56.119 --> 01:02:01.400
<v Speaker 2>main event, the third one this week, and boom, here

1023
01:02:01.719 --> 01:02:06.400
<v Speaker 2>is Tony out here as her regular self. And I

1024
01:02:06.519 --> 01:02:08.960
<v Speaker 2>have a soft spot in my heart for this version

1025
01:02:09.000 --> 01:02:10.800
<v Speaker 2>of Tony because this is the first version of Tony

1026
01:02:10.880 --> 01:02:13.599
<v Speaker 2>that I ever saw in the May Young Classic here again.

1027
01:02:14.360 --> 01:02:16.280
<v Speaker 2>If you listen to this show long enough, you know

1028
01:02:16.400 --> 01:02:18.639
<v Speaker 2>that when it comes to a lot of the current

1029
01:02:18.719 --> 01:02:21.239
<v Speaker 2>stars and women's wrestling, the May Young Classic was sort

1030
01:02:21.239 --> 01:02:25.159
<v Speaker 2>of like my gateway drug. That and NWA's in Power

1031
01:02:25.239 --> 01:02:28.320
<v Speaker 2>were two of my gateway drugs inside of a lot

1032
01:02:28.400 --> 01:02:30.800
<v Speaker 2>of the future of women's wrestling at this stage. And

1033
01:02:30.920 --> 01:02:33.519
<v Speaker 2>it's just nuts. I think one day I should do

1034
01:02:33.599 --> 01:02:39.440
<v Speaker 2>an episode dedicated to it. But either way, Tony was

1035
01:02:39.519 --> 01:02:42.119
<v Speaker 2>always one of my favorites, and the idea that she

1036
01:02:42.280 --> 01:02:45.599
<v Speaker 2>was able to come back here with this character change

1037
01:02:45.639 --> 01:02:48.559
<v Speaker 2>and get the reaction that she got, everybody popped really hard.

1038
01:02:49.239 --> 01:02:52.199
<v Speaker 2>Thunder Rosso was holding up a sign that said WTS.

1039
01:02:52.920 --> 01:02:55.440
<v Speaker 2>She didn't know what was going on, but in Luki

1040
01:02:55.599 --> 01:03:00.519
<v Speaker 2>looks like from how even Saturday went, She's going Saturday,

1041
01:03:00.519 --> 01:03:03.599
<v Speaker 2>I think Friday and Saturday with rampage and collision. She's

1042
01:03:03.679 --> 01:03:08.719
<v Speaker 2>going through a bit of a identity crisis situation where

1043
01:03:08.960 --> 01:03:12.679
<v Speaker 2>she thinks she just made it to a w and

1044
01:03:12.760 --> 01:03:17.679
<v Speaker 2>that she's so happy to be alongside everybody else who

1045
01:03:18.400 --> 01:03:22.280
<v Speaker 2>she was wrestling beside anyway when she was the Timeless One.

1046
01:03:22.400 --> 01:03:24.920
<v Speaker 2>So it's really interesting, you know, how they're playing this

1047
01:03:25.119 --> 01:03:27.639
<v Speaker 2>character out. But I was so happy to see this

1048
01:03:27.840 --> 01:03:32.880
<v Speaker 2>version of Tony Storm back in action. This was really

1049
01:03:33.360 --> 01:03:36.440
<v Speaker 2>amazing for me because I just have a soft spot

1050
01:03:36.599 --> 01:03:39.119
<v Speaker 2>in my heart for this version of Tony, even though

1051
01:03:39.159 --> 01:03:43.039
<v Speaker 2>I love Timeless. The Timeless one, it was cool, but yeah,

1052
01:03:43.360 --> 01:03:47.079
<v Speaker 2>it's time to shake things up again and she's back

1053
01:03:47.159 --> 01:03:49.880
<v Speaker 2>as her regular self, So this was really fun for

1054
01:03:50.000 --> 01:03:52.760
<v Speaker 2>me to see. I enjoyed this very much, and it

1055
01:03:52.880 --> 01:03:55.039
<v Speaker 2>was a great way to end Dynamite, So that was cool.

1056
01:03:57.840 --> 01:04:00.679
<v Speaker 2>Now now to talk about something that I probably would

1057
01:04:00.679 --> 01:04:03.880
<v Speaker 2>have talked about in news and gossip ish if Saturday

1058
01:04:03.960 --> 01:04:06.840
<v Speaker 2>Night's Man Event had not happened. I have to be

1059
01:04:06.960 --> 01:04:09.039
<v Speaker 2>real about this and talk about this, and this is

1060
01:04:09.079 --> 01:04:13.079
<v Speaker 2>probably the last time I'm going to discuss it. TNA's

1061
01:04:13.119 --> 01:04:19.360
<v Speaker 2>final resolution passed. It happened Friday and Jordan Grace had

1062
01:04:19.400 --> 01:04:21.639
<v Speaker 2>a match, and I do believe in the midst of

1063
01:04:22.440 --> 01:04:25.920
<v Speaker 2>her match she got attacked by a person who revealed

1064
01:04:25.960 --> 01:04:34.159
<v Speaker 2>themselves to be Tesla Blanchert. And for those who are

1065
01:04:34.360 --> 01:04:39.039
<v Speaker 2>new or probably don't know who Tesla Blanchert is, she

1066
01:04:39.239 --> 01:04:43.639
<v Speaker 2>is also someone else who I was exposed to via

1067
01:04:43.760 --> 01:04:48.360
<v Speaker 2>the May Young Classic, and she was someone who I

1068
01:04:49.440 --> 01:04:53.159
<v Speaker 2>really thought could have been the future of women's wrestling

1069
01:04:53.199 --> 01:04:56.599
<v Speaker 2>alongside Charlotte Flair, like because she is the daughter of

1070
01:04:56.840 --> 01:05:00.719
<v Speaker 2>Tully Blanchard, a wrestling legend, and who was also a

1071
01:05:00.840 --> 01:05:05.559
<v Speaker 2>four horseman as well. Like she was someone who I

1072
01:05:05.800 --> 01:05:08.679
<v Speaker 2>initially thought the world of and someone who I thought

1073
01:05:08.800 --> 01:05:16.000
<v Speaker 2>really could stand on all the amazingness of women's wrestling

1074
01:05:16.000 --> 01:05:18.559
<v Speaker 2>and where it was set to go over these past

1075
01:05:18.639 --> 01:05:22.480
<v Speaker 2>few years and all of the above. And she also

1076
01:05:23.760 --> 01:05:26.480
<v Speaker 2>made some moves even in TNA during her first run

1077
01:05:26.559 --> 01:05:30.239
<v Speaker 2>where she actually became the TNA Slash Impact World Champion,

1078
01:05:30.719 --> 01:05:34.079
<v Speaker 2>not the Women's champion, not the knockouts Champion, but the

1079
01:05:34.320 --> 01:05:37.480
<v Speaker 2>world champion, like the championship held by the men. She

1080
01:05:37.679 --> 01:05:41.079
<v Speaker 2>held it and actually fought men too, and I thought

1081
01:05:41.119 --> 01:05:48.119
<v Speaker 2>that was cool as well. But Mss ma'ham disappointed me

1082
01:05:48.800 --> 01:05:53.599
<v Speaker 2>when I found out that she had a racist encounter

1083
01:05:54.599 --> 01:06:01.159
<v Speaker 2>with a wrestler I believe l rosa Negra and that

1084
01:06:01.360 --> 01:06:05.280
<v Speaker 2>in the match she had fought her, called her the

1085
01:06:05.400 --> 01:06:10.119
<v Speaker 2>inWORD and spent in her face. And then not only

1086
01:06:10.199 --> 01:06:12.800
<v Speaker 2>did she do that, was she had bullying behavior towards

1087
01:06:12.880 --> 01:06:19.679
<v Speaker 2>other women's wrestlers as well. Finding out that she used

1088
01:06:20.679 --> 01:06:25.079
<v Speaker 2>the worst possible slur to a black wrestler who has

1089
01:06:25.239 --> 01:06:27.719
<v Speaker 2>since you know, forgiven her and all the above, and

1090
01:06:28.360 --> 01:06:30.480
<v Speaker 2>you know, big ups to her for that. I mean,

1091
01:06:30.519 --> 01:06:32.679
<v Speaker 2>if they've ironed out their differences, that's fine, but that

1092
01:06:32.760 --> 01:06:35.760
<v Speaker 2>doesn't mean that has to be me, me and my journey.

1093
01:06:35.800 --> 01:06:38.400
<v Speaker 2>If you call me or any other person or black person,

1094
01:06:38.480 --> 01:06:40.119
<v Speaker 2>I know the in word, that makes me want to

1095
01:06:40.199 --> 01:06:42.440
<v Speaker 2>fight you, and it also makes me want to just

1096
01:06:42.519 --> 01:06:45.159
<v Speaker 2>cut you out of my life completely because that type

1097
01:06:45.199 --> 01:06:47.840
<v Speaker 2>of negativity has no place in my life. It has

1098
01:06:47.920 --> 01:06:50.360
<v Speaker 2>no place in my wrestling life, it has no place

1099
01:06:50.920 --> 01:06:54.280
<v Speaker 2>in any form in my life at all, because at

1100
01:06:54.320 --> 01:06:55.719
<v Speaker 2>the end of the day, I am a black woman

1101
01:06:55.800 --> 01:07:00.480
<v Speaker 2>from the South, and we don't play that. We don't

1102
01:07:00.480 --> 01:07:06.840
<v Speaker 2>play that. And Tessa fell off a little bit from it.

1103
01:07:07.159 --> 01:07:09.679
<v Speaker 2>She didn't wrestle for a while, but then got back

1104
01:07:09.760 --> 01:07:14.079
<v Speaker 2>into wrestling because a few other companies or whatever you know,

1105
01:07:14.519 --> 01:07:17.079
<v Speaker 2>hired her back to do some things, but I never

1106
01:07:17.159 --> 01:07:19.880
<v Speaker 2>thought we would ever see her back on television. Boy

1107
01:07:20.039 --> 01:07:23.559
<v Speaker 2>was I wrong. She's back here in TNA, and it's

1108
01:07:23.599 --> 01:07:26.280
<v Speaker 2>been rumored that a lot of that some people in

1109
01:07:26.320 --> 01:07:29.480
<v Speaker 2>the locker room don't even don't like this idea, including

1110
01:07:29.599 --> 01:07:33.840
<v Speaker 2>Jordan Grace, which I can only imagine how she feels,

1111
01:07:33.880 --> 01:07:36.719
<v Speaker 2>considering she's married to Jonathan Gresham, who happens to be

1112
01:07:36.800 --> 01:07:39.599
<v Speaker 2>a black man. You know, I can only imagine how

1113
01:07:39.639 --> 01:07:43.760
<v Speaker 2>she even feels doing that. So at this point TNA,

1114
01:07:48.000 --> 01:07:51.519
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I'm gonna always support the women there, but

1115
01:07:51.599 --> 01:07:55.559
<v Speaker 2>I'm not supporting Tesla Blancherd because once you use that

1116
01:07:55.719 --> 01:07:59.320
<v Speaker 2>word and once you be that disrespectful towards somebody, No,

1117
01:08:00.800 --> 01:08:05.599
<v Speaker 2>I don't like it at all. I just don't goodbye,

1118
01:08:06.800 --> 01:08:10.000
<v Speaker 2>Like it's not it's literally not the best choice. Like

1119
01:08:10.920 --> 01:08:14.519
<v Speaker 2>TNA have been doing so well this year, but then

1120
01:08:14.880 --> 01:08:19.039
<v Speaker 2>you hire her back to have this type of exposure,

1121
01:08:19.079 --> 01:08:21.039
<v Speaker 2>and it makes it seem as if there's just no

1122
01:08:22.439 --> 01:08:27.079
<v Speaker 2>consequences for your actions. It just seems like, oh, well,

1123
01:08:27.159 --> 01:08:29.079
<v Speaker 2>let's just play a low profile and it may be

1124
01:08:29.239 --> 01:08:32.399
<v Speaker 2>down the line if enough people have forgotten about it,

1125
01:08:33.000 --> 01:08:39.600
<v Speaker 2>then you can come back. No, No, ma'am, you are

1126
01:08:39.680 --> 01:08:41.960
<v Speaker 2>not a born legend. You are a born racist. And

1127
01:08:42.079 --> 01:08:47.399
<v Speaker 2>I don't trust you and I don't respect you. So

1128
01:08:47.520 --> 01:08:49.640
<v Speaker 2>that's one thing in wrestling that I did not like

1129
01:08:49.800 --> 01:08:58.000
<v Speaker 2>this week. So moving on now, I was able to

1130
01:08:58.079 --> 01:09:01.079
<v Speaker 2>catch a couple of clips from SmackDown because Friday I

1131
01:09:01.159 --> 01:09:07.600
<v Speaker 2>went out. Finding out that Bianca was almost stripped of

1132
01:09:07.640 --> 01:09:12.239
<v Speaker 2>the tag titles because of Jade's condition was really sad.

1133
01:09:12.359 --> 01:09:16.960
<v Speaker 2>But then at the same time, Naomi decided to jump

1134
01:09:17.079 --> 01:09:20.600
<v Speaker 2>in and say, look, you know, I'll defend them in

1135
01:09:20.800 --> 01:09:24.840
<v Speaker 2>Jade's absence and we can be champions together. And now

1136
01:09:24.960 --> 01:09:31.079
<v Speaker 2>they have to fight Naya Jacks and Cannice Loray next week.

1137
01:09:31.399 --> 01:09:35.199
<v Speaker 2>And a lot of people on social media were saying, look,

1138
01:09:36.039 --> 01:09:39.560
<v Speaker 2>this is Naomi sort of playing Bianca Vilair as a

1139
01:09:39.600 --> 01:09:44.560
<v Speaker 2>fiddle and saying that she could very well be turning

1140
01:09:44.640 --> 01:09:46.760
<v Speaker 2>heel and she might be revealing herself to be the

1141
01:09:46.880 --> 01:09:51.640
<v Speaker 2>one to have attacked Jay. And I hope here again,

1142
01:09:51.800 --> 01:09:54.119
<v Speaker 2>like I mentioned last week, that that's not the case,

1143
01:09:55.079 --> 01:09:58.680
<v Speaker 2>but if it is, then that's really a smart way

1144
01:09:58.720 --> 01:10:01.159
<v Speaker 2>in order to get it done. But oh my god,

1145
01:10:05.640 --> 01:10:08.960
<v Speaker 2>Bianca and Jade accomplish so much in both of their

1146
01:10:09.039 --> 01:10:12.359
<v Speaker 2>runs as tag team champions, that to see it end

1147
01:10:12.439 --> 01:10:14.840
<v Speaker 2>in this way would Loki make me sayd I'd be like,

1148
01:10:14.920 --> 01:10:19.279
<v Speaker 2>oh my god, no, what happened to my Big Three?

1149
01:10:20.359 --> 01:10:22.439
<v Speaker 2>And what makes me sad is if this is how

1150
01:10:22.479 --> 01:10:24.439
<v Speaker 2>the Big Three is gonna end. They didn't give the

1151
01:10:24.479 --> 01:10:26.960
<v Speaker 2>Big Three a T shirt. They only gave Bianca and

1152
01:10:27.119 --> 01:10:30.279
<v Speaker 2>Jade one. They didn't give all three of them a

1153
01:10:30.399 --> 01:10:35.000
<v Speaker 2>T shirt. Like that seriously sucks. So now we're about

1154
01:10:35.039 --> 01:10:38.239
<v Speaker 2>to possibly live in a world where Misfield the glow

1155
01:10:38.600 --> 01:10:42.760
<v Speaker 2>is really about to turn on our est, Like no,

1156
01:10:43.199 --> 01:10:47.640
<v Speaker 2>it's it's so sad, but we just gotta wait and see.

1157
01:10:48.239 --> 01:10:52.279
<v Speaker 2>But I just really hope that it's not Naomi that's

1158
01:10:52.359 --> 01:10:55.319
<v Speaker 2>turn heel on her, that's about to turn heel, and

1159
01:10:55.439 --> 01:10:59.079
<v Speaker 2>that she's the one that attack Je Like why why?

1160
01:11:00.399 --> 01:11:05.079
<v Speaker 2>But you know, we just gotta wait. Also, another thing

1161
01:11:05.159 --> 01:11:07.920
<v Speaker 2>that I saw on social media was this interaction between

1162
01:11:07.960 --> 01:11:12.119
<v Speaker 2>Tiffany Stratton, Candice Larray, and Naya Jack's the women's champion.

1163
01:11:13.159 --> 01:11:17.680
<v Speaker 2>Because Tiffy did not win in her beautiful Holiday outfit

1164
01:11:18.640 --> 01:11:21.319
<v Speaker 2>and was not going forward to the finals of the

1165
01:11:21.479 --> 01:11:25.600
<v Speaker 2>Women's United States Title tournament, Cannice Larray decided to chime

1166
01:11:25.680 --> 01:11:30.920
<v Speaker 2>in with her purple headedself and talk about how Tiffany

1167
01:11:32.560 --> 01:11:36.319
<v Speaker 2>might not be cut out for singles championships. And I'm

1168
01:11:36.399 --> 01:11:38.960
<v Speaker 2>just sitting here, like, girl, you're saying all that, but

1169
01:11:39.039 --> 01:11:41.520
<v Speaker 2>the only titles you've ever won have been tag teams

1170
01:11:41.600 --> 01:11:46.039
<v Speaker 2>up until this point. You were never NXC champion like Tiffany. You,

1171
01:11:47.159 --> 01:11:50.399
<v Speaker 2>I mean, you've never won Money in the Bank. Like,

1172
01:11:51.600 --> 01:11:54.319
<v Speaker 2>the only singles title you have ever won at this

1173
01:11:54.520 --> 01:11:58.439
<v Speaker 2>point was the ww Women's Speed Championship. And yes, that

1174
01:11:58.640 --> 01:12:03.399
<v Speaker 2>is a great accomplishment, you know, for women's history in wrestling,

1175
01:12:03.560 --> 01:12:07.159
<v Speaker 2>because that's great because you're the first ever. But at

1176
01:12:07.199 --> 01:12:09.119
<v Speaker 2>the same time, that's a title that you can't even

1177
01:12:09.159 --> 01:12:11.720
<v Speaker 2>carry on television. But you want to shade miss Money

1178
01:12:11.800 --> 01:12:16.000
<v Speaker 2>in the Bank, who actually accomplished which you couldn't accomplish

1179
01:12:16.000 --> 01:12:18.000
<v Speaker 2>in NXT and make it seem like she's not cut

1180
01:12:18.039 --> 01:12:22.600
<v Speaker 2>out for singles gold girl Bye. I'm really gonna need

1181
01:12:22.720 --> 01:12:28.079
<v Speaker 2>for Tiffany to put on her big girl breeches and

1182
01:12:28.279 --> 01:12:32.800
<v Speaker 2>cash in on Naya because it really looks like NYA

1183
01:12:32.960 --> 01:12:35.279
<v Speaker 2>is beginning to look down on Tiffy too, And it's

1184
01:12:35.399 --> 01:12:38.640
<v Speaker 2>just like it's so gross because every time Tiffany had

1185
01:12:38.680 --> 01:12:41.159
<v Speaker 2>your back, she had your back, even though of course

1186
01:12:41.239 --> 01:12:45.039
<v Speaker 2>she was weirded out by having the briefcase or whatnot,

1187
01:12:45.279 --> 01:12:48.640
<v Speaker 2>she still had your back. And now Kennice comes in

1188
01:12:48.760 --> 01:12:51.399
<v Speaker 2>and yeah, she's giving you this opportunity to possibly be

1189
01:12:51.479 --> 01:12:57.319
<v Speaker 2>a tag champion alongside, you know, in defeating Bianca and

1190
01:12:57.439 --> 01:13:01.840
<v Speaker 2>Naomi or whatever. But still, how you just gonna turn

1191
01:13:01.880 --> 01:13:05.760
<v Speaker 2>your back on Tiffy like that? And with that being

1192
01:13:05.840 --> 01:13:08.079
<v Speaker 2>the case, I'm really just gonna need for Tiffany to

1193
01:13:08.239 --> 01:13:10.640
<v Speaker 2>just cash in on Naya like all bets are off,

1194
01:13:11.119 --> 01:13:15.199
<v Speaker 2>all bets are off. Cash in on Naya because Cannice

1195
01:13:15.279 --> 01:13:17.760
<v Speaker 2>really has a little bit. She just has too much

1196
01:13:17.880 --> 01:13:21.680
<v Speaker 2>dip on her ship at this point, too much, way

1197
01:13:21.800 --> 01:13:25.439
<v Speaker 2>too much dip on her ship for somebody who has

1198
01:13:25.560 --> 01:13:29.560
<v Speaker 2>only seemed to have title success in tag teams. Trying

1199
01:13:29.600 --> 01:13:33.680
<v Speaker 2>to tell Tiffany Stratton that she is not cut out

1200
01:13:33.720 --> 01:13:39.199
<v Speaker 2>for singles title material. Girl, by that was horrible. That

1201
01:13:39.359 --> 01:13:41.439
<v Speaker 2>was just horrible to look at. I was just like, girl,

1202
01:13:42.039 --> 01:13:44.600
<v Speaker 2>don't let them do you like that? It was horrible.

1203
01:13:47.720 --> 01:13:53.920
<v Speaker 2>Now I lied earlier because I said that the testa

1204
01:13:54.000 --> 01:13:56.439
<v Speaker 2>thing was the only thing I didn't like in wrestling.

1205
01:13:56.479 --> 01:13:59.119
<v Speaker 2>This week I got to hear and now I realize

1206
01:13:59.159 --> 01:14:06.119
<v Speaker 2>this is another thing. Did not like Carmelo Hayes him.

1207
01:14:07.720 --> 01:14:12.960
<v Speaker 2>My fave was, once upon a time an NXC champion.

1208
01:14:13.880 --> 01:14:15.720
<v Speaker 2>I know I was there when it happened. I was

1209
01:14:15.760 --> 01:14:18.720
<v Speaker 2>screaming my voice out. It was a mess, but either way,

1210
01:14:19.600 --> 01:14:24.560
<v Speaker 2>he won NX title off a bron breaker during WrestleMania

1211
01:14:24.640 --> 01:14:29.880
<v Speaker 2>weekend in Hollywood. This man carried NXC on his back

1212
01:14:29.920 --> 01:14:32.479
<v Speaker 2>along with Trick Williams. And even though they fell out

1213
01:14:32.520 --> 01:14:37.119
<v Speaker 2>and everything, you can't deny that they held NX down together. Right.

1214
01:14:39.199 --> 01:14:43.960
<v Speaker 2>This man was also an NX North American Champion and

1215
01:14:44.039 --> 01:14:48.159
<v Speaker 2>the final NXC Cruiserweight Champion before they combined those titles together.

1216
01:14:49.800 --> 01:14:53.479
<v Speaker 2>Here again, he made the NXT North American title the

1217
01:14:53.640 --> 01:14:58.600
<v Speaker 2>A Championship before he became NX champion. This man is

1218
01:14:58.640 --> 01:15:01.720
<v Speaker 2>a thorough red through and through. I've done an episode

1219
01:15:01.760 --> 01:15:04.800
<v Speaker 2>dedicated to one of his matches that happened on my

1220
01:15:04.880 --> 01:15:09.960
<v Speaker 2>birthday against Ricochet. Like he is the man one hundred grand.

1221
01:15:10.640 --> 01:15:14.039
<v Speaker 2>He doesn't just call himself him because it sounds good.

1222
01:15:14.479 --> 01:15:19.319
<v Speaker 2>He calls himself him because he is him. So why

1223
01:15:19.520 --> 01:15:22.880
<v Speaker 2>is it in the year of Our Lord twenty four

1224
01:15:25.159 --> 01:15:28.560
<v Speaker 2>And before we even get to that, he was one

1225
01:15:28.680 --> 01:15:33.239
<v Speaker 2>half of the first black Mail main event during WrestleMania

1226
01:15:33.319 --> 01:15:37.279
<v Speaker 2>Weekend with Trick Williams at standon deliver this year here

1227
01:15:37.319 --> 01:15:39.680
<v Speaker 2>again something else. I was blessed to be there for

1228
01:15:40.479 --> 01:15:44.800
<v Speaker 2>witnessed that match. It was fantastic. So in doing all

1229
01:15:44.880 --> 01:15:49.960
<v Speaker 2>of that and also having great matches this year with

1230
01:15:50.159 --> 01:15:54.960
<v Speaker 2>Andrade with their best of seven series, you could say

1231
01:15:55.760 --> 01:15:58.119
<v Speaker 2>to a degree that was what was going on in

1232
01:15:58.199 --> 01:16:02.159
<v Speaker 2>the midst of all of that. How was he getting

1233
01:16:02.159 --> 01:16:10.199
<v Speaker 2>squashed of bron Stroman? How? How and why? And that's

1234
01:16:10.279 --> 01:16:12.279
<v Speaker 2>not to say that Carmelo did not put up a

1235
01:16:12.279 --> 01:16:14.880
<v Speaker 2>good fight, because he did. But it's like when braun

1236
01:16:14.920 --> 01:16:17.640
<v Speaker 2>Stroman came out there, I just felt like the I

1237
01:16:17.840 --> 01:16:21.960
<v Speaker 2>knew what the what the writing was and it made

1238
01:16:22.039 --> 01:16:27.880
<v Speaker 2>me so upset because I don't understand how somebody who

1239
01:16:28.680 --> 01:16:32.840
<v Speaker 2>was neck and neck in parallel to bron Breaker's career

1240
01:16:34.079 --> 01:16:38.439
<v Speaker 2>and was drafted the first male draft pick of SmackDown

1241
01:16:39.159 --> 01:16:41.640
<v Speaker 2>gets treated like he's a nothing all of a sudden.

1242
01:16:41.800 --> 01:16:47.199
<v Speaker 2>I don't like that at all. Carmelo Hayes performed exceptionally

1243
01:16:47.239 --> 01:16:48.960
<v Speaker 2>well in the Money in the Bank match. You're again,

1244
01:16:49.119 --> 01:16:52.760
<v Speaker 2>I was there, but either way, like he performed exceptionally well,

1245
01:16:53.640 --> 01:16:56.520
<v Speaker 2>why is it that he's just being pushed off to

1246
01:16:56.600 --> 01:16:58.439
<v Speaker 2>the side. I understand that he had sort of like

1247
01:16:58.560 --> 01:17:01.479
<v Speaker 2>the cocky rookie roll going on, but at what point

1248
01:17:01.520 --> 01:17:04.479
<v Speaker 2>are we going to stop pretending that he's just a

1249
01:17:04.560 --> 01:17:07.239
<v Speaker 2>cocky rookie and start realizing that this man is him,

1250
01:17:07.359 --> 01:17:09.119
<v Speaker 2>not just because he says he is, but because he

1251
01:17:09.279 --> 01:17:16.000
<v Speaker 2>actually is. I'm tired. I don't just want him just

1252
01:17:16.119 --> 01:17:18.159
<v Speaker 2>being put in matches just to be made to look like,

1253
01:17:19.119 --> 01:17:22.439
<v Speaker 2>to look weak and just lose all the time, like

1254
01:17:24.560 --> 01:17:32.920
<v Speaker 2>do something, please, please do something, like he deserves better.

1255
01:17:33.159 --> 01:17:37.159
<v Speaker 2>Carmelo deserves better. And at the risk of sounding like

1256
01:17:37.960 --> 01:17:40.920
<v Speaker 2>a weirdo or sounding like somebody who's whining and crying

1257
01:17:41.039 --> 01:17:49.119
<v Speaker 2>or whatever, Carmelo definitely deserves better. He just does. And

1258
01:17:50.800 --> 01:17:54.479
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, maybe you could probably go back and

1259
01:17:55.880 --> 01:17:59.039
<v Speaker 2>think that I just am saying this, are you, Carmela,

1260
01:17:59.159 --> 01:18:02.399
<v Speaker 2>I'm good, I'm standing there with her, Queen Steph Hardy.

1261
01:18:02.479 --> 01:18:06.880
<v Speaker 2>Let's talk about it, Yes, let's talk about it. I

1262
01:18:06.960 --> 01:18:12.319
<v Speaker 2>don't know, I don't know. I mean, he'll always have

1263
01:18:12.439 --> 01:18:14.399
<v Speaker 2>a soft spot in my heart because of that moment

1264
01:18:14.560 --> 01:18:18.600
<v Speaker 2>this year, But even before that, Carmelo showed himself to

1265
01:18:18.720 --> 01:18:22.199
<v Speaker 2>me and I thought he was amazing. So give Carmelo

1266
01:18:22.359 --> 01:18:27.119
<v Speaker 2>his things, please, please, please please, And just I don't

1267
01:18:27.199 --> 01:18:29.800
<v Speaker 2>know if in this transfer portal they're gonna put him

1268
01:18:29.840 --> 01:18:33.680
<v Speaker 2>on Raw and maybe you'll have better look there. Please

1269
01:18:33.920 --> 01:18:38.920
<v Speaker 2>just don't embarrass him. I sound like Sabrina Carpenter, like,

1270
01:18:40.239 --> 01:18:45.479
<v Speaker 2>I hope you don't embarrass him, but whatever, I just

1271
01:18:45.600 --> 01:18:49.079
<v Speaker 2>want better for Carmelo. A's because he is him and

1272
01:18:49.199 --> 01:18:53.399
<v Speaker 2>he gonna always be him regardless. Okay, and that's it,

1273
01:18:53.560 --> 01:18:58.239
<v Speaker 2>and that's all. So of course this has been an

1274
01:18:58.279 --> 01:19:02.000
<v Speaker 2>amazing show. I'm glad that you guys tuned in for that.

1275
01:19:02.159 --> 01:19:04.119
<v Speaker 2>Oh I got one more thing I gotta discuss. I'm

1276
01:19:04.159 --> 01:19:11.600
<v Speaker 2>really excited about Roman Reigns fighting solo in tribal combat

1277
01:19:11.880 --> 01:19:14.800
<v Speaker 2>to become the official tribal chief on the Raw on

1278
01:19:14.960 --> 01:19:18.680
<v Speaker 2>Netflix episode. I'm really excited about that. His promo for

1279
01:19:18.760 --> 01:19:21.960
<v Speaker 2>that was really fire and it was very heartfelt, you

1280
01:19:22.039 --> 01:19:25.800
<v Speaker 2>can tell. So I'm really excited about it. I'm really pumped.

1281
01:19:25.800 --> 01:19:28.239
<v Speaker 2>And then you have Paul Hamman back there, you know,

1282
01:19:28.800 --> 01:19:30.720
<v Speaker 2>and it was just really interesting how he was talking

1283
01:19:30.760 --> 01:19:33.640
<v Speaker 2>about how he lost his wise man, he lost his

1284
01:19:33.720 --> 01:19:36.800
<v Speaker 2>whole bloodline, and he lost his Ulafala that was given

1285
01:19:36.920 --> 01:19:39.520
<v Speaker 2>to him and stuff. And here again it pulls on

1286
01:19:39.600 --> 01:19:42.279
<v Speaker 2>your heartstrings because the while Samoans gave him that, and

1287
01:19:42.800 --> 01:19:46.479
<v Speaker 2>with everything that happened this year, it just it's just

1288
01:19:46.720 --> 01:19:50.600
<v Speaker 2>it makes it mean a whole lot more So, January

1289
01:19:50.840 --> 01:19:53.840
<v Speaker 2>is said to be a big, big month in wrestling,

1290
01:19:54.039 --> 01:19:55.960
<v Speaker 2>and I just can't wait to see what happens from

1291
01:19:56.039 --> 01:20:00.279
<v Speaker 2>that match. So yeah, that's all that I liked or

1292
01:20:00.399 --> 01:20:05.079
<v Speaker 2>did not like in wrestling this week. And now I

<v Speaker 2>feminine take on the world of professional wrestling, book Your Girl, Book,

1324
01:21:45.560 --> 01:21:48.680
<v Speaker 2>Your Girl, Book, Your Girl. I'm open for twenty twenty five,

1325
01:21:49.720 --> 01:21:51.640
<v Speaker 2>even though there is stuff that I do want to do,

1326
01:21:51.840 --> 01:21:53.479
<v Speaker 2>so please be on the lookout for all of that

1327

1333
01:22:12.600 --> 01:22:15.399
<v Speaker 2>not wrestle as much, still gave a lot of great

1334
01:22:15.479 --> 01:22:17.640
<v Speaker 2>moments this year, so I was happy to write about

1335

1339
01:22:30.119 --> 01:22:33.520
<v Speaker 2>But either way, read my top five CM punk Moments

01:23:38.399 --> 01:23:41.079
<v Speaker 2>season because Christmas is next week and I'm so excited

<v Speaker 2>about it, and I hope you get great gifts, and

1361
01:23:43.880 --> 01:23:46.119
<v Speaker 2>I hope you're having an amazing time with wrestling and

1362
01:23:46.319 --> 01:23:48.640
<v Speaker 2>just a good time in general, because I know the

1363
01:23:48.720 --> 01:23:52.479
<v Speaker 2>holiday season can bring about so many different feelings of

1364
01:23:54.079 --> 01:23:58.079
<v Speaker 2>being without loved ones or sometimes just hard feelings where

1365
01:23:58.119 --> 01:23:59.600
<v Speaker 2>you feel like your life is and where you thought

1366
01:23:59.600 --> 01:24:01.560
<v Speaker 2>it was going to be towards the end of the

1367
01:24:01.680 --> 01:24:04.279
<v Speaker 2>year or whatever. But just take it easy on yourself,

1368
01:24:04.399 --> 01:24:07.640
<v Speaker 2>have grace on yourself, do the very best that you

1369
01:24:07.800 --> 01:24:11.039
<v Speaker 2>possibly can, and know that you are surrounded by love,

1370
01:24:11.159 --> 01:24:13.720
<v Speaker 2>and of course you know, if you are looking for

1371
01:24:13.840 --> 01:24:16.199
<v Speaker 2>a friend, don't hesitate to reach out because you never

1372
01:24:16.319 --> 01:24:19.560
<v Speaker 2>know what type of relationships might lie under a hello

1373
01:24:19.840 --> 01:24:24.039
<v Speaker 2>or you know or whatever. And just don't give up,

1374
01:24:24.600 --> 01:24:29.640
<v Speaker 2>Just don't give up. And yeah, this has been the

1375
01:24:29.800 --> 01:24:33.439
<v Speaker 2>Hardy Wrestling Podcast with your girl, Stephanie Hardy and until
