- 3:03Speaker 2: getting walking into the PCW studio. We call it, you know,
- 3:07Speaker 2: getting pregame, because you know how in wrestling before roll starts,
- 3:10Speaker 2: you're seeing wrestlers walking into the arena getting ready, totally
- 3:14Speaker 2: out of character. So you'd see like Tyler walking up,
- 3:17Speaker 2: you know, just caring food, carrying his drink, getting ready,
- 3:21Speaker 2: you know, and then you see, oh what's this. Oh,
- 3:24Speaker 2: Dre's walking up to to to his office. He's got

- 4:22Speaker 4: What did do? PCW crew? Happy Day?
- 4:25Speaker 3: After Sinkle demayo to everybody except the developmental talent at
- 4:30Speaker 3: the Mexican restaurant that messed up my order.
- 4:32Speaker 4: It made me have to go all the way back
- 4:33Speaker 4: up there to get it right.
- 4:35Speaker 2: Oh damn, you might have to curse them, man, you
- 4:38Speaker 2: might have to curse them.
- 4:40Speaker 4: I ain't gonna curse them.
- 4:41Speaker 3: Like I said, light Light, like Carlos said in the discord,
- 4:45Speaker 3: they were probably the rookie. So I'm just gonna talk
- 4:47Speaker 3: it up to them being the they were the developmental talent.
- 4:49Speaker 3: They were the I don't know, I don't even know
- 4:52Speaker 3: if I call them NXT. They were probably like the
- 4:54Speaker 3: the LFG of the Mexican restaurant staff.
- 4:57Speaker 4: Maybe they evolve.
- 5:01Speaker 2: Damn well, I guess you don't want to put their
- 5:06Speaker 2: name out there.
- 5:06Speaker 4: Right, I mean, now you do need to put them
- 5:10Speaker 4: on blast like that. Yeah, speak, I brought it up,
- 5:14Speaker 4: brought up there, told them.
- 5:15Speaker 3: They got it wrong, told them what I had. They said,
- 5:17Speaker 3: they took they'll take care of it. They took care
- 5:19Speaker 3: of it, no issues, So yeah, I can. I mean,
- 5:23Speaker 3: as it's not about how you mess up, It's about
- 5:26Speaker 3: how you respond to your mistakes. That's true, man, more
- 5:33Speaker 3: than anything. Speaking of TAC, we'll see how w W
- 5:37Speaker 3: responded to some mistakes they've made.
- 5:40Speaker 2: Jeez. Yeah, we got a lot to talk about with that,
- 5:43Speaker 2: A lot of meats that show off the bone. All right,
- 5:46Speaker 2: let's bring them in.
- 5:52Speaker 4: My head the accounts for me.
- 5:55Speaker 2: They understand you. Yeah, Tyler, welcome back to the show.
- 6:19Speaker 2: What is going on Thanks for having me, Thanks for
- 6:22Speaker 2: having you. Yeah, I mean did you're just the norm,
- 6:26Speaker 2: you know, just the norm get your hair almost every
- 6:31Speaker 2: episode we do. You know, Doyle is not here, h
- 6:35Speaker 2: Doyle dan Housenel Doyle, Doyle Doyle Housen. Yeah, he's uh,
- 6:44Speaker 2: he's got work, stuff to do, so you know, I'm
- 6:48Speaker 2: sure one goes out to him though, I'm sure his
- 6:50Speaker 2: predictions are pretty much gonna be close to ours. So ah,
- 6:58Speaker 2: I got so much stuff we got, but I'd love
- 7:00Speaker 2: to hear Doyle's opinions on this, but I guess we
- 7:03Speaker 2: gonna have to hear about later.
- 7:06Speaker 4: I guarantee this, he either picked the same thing I
- 7:09Speaker 4: did or the other person.
- 7:12Speaker 5: Mm hmm.
- 7:14Speaker 2: That's a fifty to fifty chance. So real quick off
- 7:21Speaker 2: the wall question. I'm gonna give you guys a handful
- 7:25Speaker 2: of pay per view names right that don't exist anymore.
- 7:29Speaker 2: You have to bring one of these back, Okay, Okay, okay,
- 7:35Speaker 2: we're gonna do.
- 7:35Speaker 4: I'm gonna be Valentine's State Massacre.
- 7:38Speaker 2: It's not it's not in this list, but okay, okay,
- 7:42Speaker 2: but in this list there's ten of them. So I'm
- 7:45Speaker 2: going I'm gonna give you I'm gonna give you, let's
- 7:49Speaker 2: just do four at a time, and then I'll need
- 7:51Speaker 2: to uh hell and to Cell, Extreme rules, fast laying,
- 8:00Speaker 2: and payback. You had to bring back one of the
- 8:03Speaker 2: four hell in a Cell Extreme rules fastening. So hell
- 8:13Speaker 2: in a Cell mhmm.
- 8:16Speaker 4: I thought that.
- 8:19Speaker 5: Those second Yeah, those second.
- 8:24Speaker 4: I mean, if I'm being honest, none of those choices
- 8:27Speaker 4: are really appealing. I know, wouldn't.
- 8:33Speaker 3: I wouldn't bring back hell in to Cell because that
- 8:36Speaker 3: takes away from what makes that match special.
- 8:38Speaker 4: If you have a whole pay per view full of
- 8:40Speaker 4: that match.
- 8:42Speaker 3: That's when watered it down in the first place, was
- 8:44Speaker 3: trying to turn a concept match into an entire po E.
- 8:49Speaker 3: So I'm against that same thing with extreme rules again
- 8:53Speaker 3: a whole. Then they didn't they start doing the extreme
- 8:57Speaker 3: rules thing after they folded up E C W.
- 8:59Speaker 5: Yes, Yeah, as a.
- 9:01Speaker 3: Way of trying to keep that thing going with all
- 9:03Speaker 3: these extreme rules matches. Eh, they're not creative enough to
- 9:07Speaker 3: really make that work because if it for that, in
- 9:13Speaker 3: my opinion, for that to work, it has to be
- 9:16Speaker 3: extreme rules. But it can't be just a match ful
- 9:19Speaker 3: of no DQ matches like you have to have a
- 9:21Speaker 3: gimmick for each one, like, make one of them a
- 9:24Speaker 3: falls kind of anywhere, make one of them a last
- 9:26Speaker 3: man standing, make one of them a ladder match or
- 9:28Speaker 3: something like that. And w W doesn't have to create
- 9:32Speaker 3: a bandwidth to think like that now, so I'd be
- 9:35Speaker 3: opposed to that and fast laying and what was the
- 9:39Speaker 3: other one? Payback?
- 9:41Speaker 4: Yeah, those are just terrible names.
- 9:43Speaker 3: So if I if gun to my head, if I
- 9:50Speaker 3: have to pick one, I would probably say extreme Rules,
- 9:53Speaker 3: because at least there is a path to make that
- 9:56Speaker 3: one successful if if they could be creative enough with it.
- 10:01Speaker 4: If I if gun in my head, I had to.
- 10:02Speaker 2: Pick one, all right, Tyler, come on, man, Helen to
- 10:06Speaker 2: sell Extreme Rules, Fastling Payback? Which terrible pl you name
- 10:09Speaker 2: are you bringing back?
- 10:12Speaker 7: I know, right, I kind of want to stick with
- 10:14Speaker 7: hell in the cell, but I agree with Yeah, that's
- 10:19Speaker 7: where I was going with it. He won me by
- 10:24Speaker 7: a thin margin, by thin margin.
- 10:29Speaker 2: So extreme rules? Yeah, yeah, Okay, Next four, I.
- 10:33Speaker 3: Will say, for the record, the one pay per view
- 10:36Speaker 3: I've always wanted w W to bring back that they
- 10:40Speaker 3: have not since they acquired w c W.
- 10:44Speaker 4: Yeah it's st Arcade.
- 10:46Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, well wait, didn't they say, didn't they
- 10:49Speaker 2: use that for No, they didn't use the first I
- 10:51Speaker 2: don't know the w W X NXT never used it. No,
- 10:55Speaker 2: I don't think so.
- 10:56Speaker 3: I don't think they've used the NXT used a bunch
- 10:59Speaker 3: of old w c W names. They've Great American Bash, Halloween, Havoc.
- 11:06Speaker 3: I don't know they've used those. But if if I
- 11:10Speaker 3: can have w W bring back one pay per view,
- 11:14Speaker 3: one classic, it would be stark.
- 11:17Speaker 2: Alright, I'm gonna give you fourier ones.
- 11:21Speaker 4: By the way, for the record, star K pre dates WrestleMania.
- 11:24Speaker 2: We got breaking point t l C, which is tables,
- 11:29Speaker 2: lads and chairs, roadblock end of the line or great
- 11:35Speaker 2: Balls of Fire t l C t l C breaking
- 11:41Speaker 2: point roadblock or great Balls of Fire t l C
- 11:45Speaker 2: t l C. I agree, that's it. TLC. What do
- 11:49Speaker 2: you think, Trey, You better not bring back.
- 11:54Speaker 4: No because again, terrible names. Again, at least TLC.
- 11:59Speaker 3: It's me is the same thing as hell in the cell.
- 12:02Speaker 3: It stops becoming special if you devote a whole p
- 12:04Speaker 3: l E to it.
- 12:06Speaker 2: So yeah, all right, I got, I got to I
- 12:10Speaker 2: got actually, you know what I'll put in. I got
- 12:13Speaker 2: four more capital punishment stomping grounds Taboo Tuesday and Cyber Sunday.
- 12:24Speaker 5: Taboo Tuesday just sounds so I definitely not.
- 12:30Speaker 2: I like Cyber Sunday and now that we have texting
- 12:35Speaker 2: and it doesn't cost you an arm in a lag,
- 12:37Speaker 2: I'm surprised they never brought back Cyber Sunday.
- 12:42Speaker 4: On the match that didn't bring it back because the
- 12:47Speaker 4: fans voting on ship.
- 12:50Speaker 5: Go so fast.
- 12:52Speaker 2: It would be so easy to do, you know, like.
- 12:57Speaker 3: Oh man and plus nobody would trust and believe what
- 13:01Speaker 3: they ever do. Anyway, Oh fans voted for this, you
- 13:04Speaker 3: know what, you could immediately get a whole bunch of retweets.
- 13:07Speaker 4: No the funk I didn't.
- 13:10Speaker 3: Yeah, among those, I would choose capital punishment that has
- 13:15Speaker 3: a that has a retro feel to it that I
- 13:17Speaker 3: can rock with.
- 13:19Speaker 2: Right, Uh yeah, we'll get to you know, we'll get
- 13:27Speaker 2: to the predictions here, but we got other ship where
- 13:29Speaker 2: you want to cover and I know people probably listening
- 13:32Speaker 2: like to get to the predictions. I just chimed in
- 13:35Speaker 2: for the predictions. Well fucking wait, I got other ship.
- 13:40Speaker 2: I want to talk about you, and I get wrestling
- 13:46Speaker 2: stuff and like it's not even like I don't know,
- 13:49Speaker 2: like topical something not topical like relevant, and I want
- 13:53Speaker 2: to talk about it though, Like Okay, so somebody I
- 13:57Speaker 2: saw a picture of now. When I used to work
- 14:00Speaker 2: at the arena, I used to do some wrestling, set
- 14:03Speaker 2: up the ring and stuff backstage, like I've set the
- 14:07Speaker 2: ring and some stuff in the locker room or whatever.
- 14:10Speaker 2: When I worked stage, han well, sometimes they would have
- 14:14Speaker 2: paperwork laying around of like like I remember Vince had
- 14:19Speaker 2: like demands for his room, even though I didn't set
- 14:24Speaker 2: up his room, but I heard he had a bunch
- 14:25Speaker 2: of crazy demands and same thing with a bunch of wrestlers,
- 14:28Speaker 2: like they demand this. They demand that same thing with
- 14:30Speaker 2: musicians when they come to arenas well. Anyway, somebody posted
- 14:35Speaker 2: an old list of Vince McMahon's office checklists. There's just
- 14:39Speaker 2: average stuff that Vince needs in every one of his
- 14:42Speaker 2: offices when he was there. Make sure the internet Internet
- 14:46Speaker 2: is up and running. Some of these are just common sense.
- 14:49Speaker 2: Make sure the telephone can dial long distance. Make sure
- 14:52Speaker 2: the microwave, ovenworks, medicines and tanning cans, so spray tan cans,
- 15:00Speaker 2: soap and toilet trees. At least three bathtieles and sanitizer
- 15:04Speaker 2: sanitized wives. One box of protein bars, four counts of
- 15:08Speaker 2: power shot, two bottles of protein and a powder tall
- 15:15Speaker 2: one bottle of powder short. These are all gim stuff.
- 15:18Speaker 2: Three cleaners, three clean shake mixers, a table, chairs, trash barrel, pencils, pens, sharpies, highlighters, scissors, pencils, sharpener,
- 15:30Speaker 2: DVD and TV combo ooh man didn't even didn't even
- 15:34Speaker 2: get rid of the VHS nine inch monitor with power cord,
- 15:39Speaker 2: two speakers, long cord, power strip, two pair xl R
- 15:43Speaker 2: audio cables and a ten inch xl R audio cable.
- 15:48Speaker 2: He uses everyone extra table at paper views and big
- 15:54Speaker 2: trash CANSO. This is just normals, just that you need.
- 15:58Speaker 2: That's a lot of eyes. Saw there's a lot of
- 16:00Speaker 2: like protein shakes and power bars. And is she like
- 16:05Speaker 2: working out back there? Vince was always known to be
- 16:09Speaker 2: like jacked. You know, I guess he's trying to stay
- 16:15Speaker 2: in shape even when he's backstage.
- 16:18Speaker 7: Uh.
- 16:19Speaker 2: I thought that was funny. I saw that post, say
- 16:21Speaker 2: was like, oh, I was expecting something way worse to
- 16:24Speaker 2: be on that list, you know. Uh, Chelsea Green, I
- 16:29Speaker 2: don't know if you knew this, dre Chelsea Green has
- 16:32Speaker 2: revealed that after a ten year battle with UH she
- 16:35Speaker 2: had s a VT. I had to quite pronounce this
- 16:39Speaker 2: super ventricular traycardia tachytack to cart. Yeah. SVT doctors were
- 16:49Speaker 2: able to diagnose it properly and perform our heart procedure.
- 16:52Speaker 2: SVT is a condition that causes sudden episode is a
- 16:55Speaker 2: very fast heart rate due to the abnormal electrical signals
- 16:59Speaker 2: in the upper chambers of the heart. She said it
- 17:03Speaker 2: went well and she's now in the ment, so we're
- 17:06Speaker 2: just waiting for her to recover. So, you know, right
- 17:09Speaker 2: after an ankle injury she had, she had to deal
- 17:12Speaker 2: with this, and I heard like the way they operate,
- 17:16Speaker 2: they like go through like a vein like your leg actually,
- 17:20Speaker 2: so they take care of that. But I guess she
- 17:23Speaker 2: was saying her like she could just be like sitting
- 17:26Speaker 2: down and just doing signings, all a sudden her heart
- 17:29Speaker 2: rate would spike. I mean, that's that's scary.
- 17:34Speaker 3: Definitely glad they caught it. She got it all taken
- 17:37Speaker 3: care of, and that's one best thing for her to
- 17:40Speaker 3: worry about. So well then speedy recovery. Can't wait to
- 17:44Speaker 3: see her back on TV again.
- 17:47Speaker 2: Speaking of Chelsea Green, I helped posts and made me
- 17:52Speaker 2: think of Chelsea Green's past tag team partners. How they've
- 17:56Speaker 2: slowly disappeared over the past years, Carmela being one, Sonya Deville,
- 18:05Speaker 2: Piper Nevin and now uh, oh my god, Alba Fire
- 18:12Speaker 2: that's it, yep, thanks to uh you know, it's obviously
- 18:17Speaker 2: there's real no connections, just convenient that she's just a
- 18:22Speaker 2: tag team partner with them. But I just don't know.
- 18:26Speaker 2: It looks like they might be trying to pair her
- 18:27Speaker 2: up with Tiffy Stratton when she gets better, so I
- 18:31Speaker 2: guess see that yeah face completely, you know, and then
- 18:36Speaker 2: maybe turning on her at some point.
- 18:38Speaker 3: Yeah, as I didn't like the way they presented it
- 18:41Speaker 3: on SmackDown because they made it seem like Chelsea Green
- 18:44Speaker 3: was like a groopie for Tiffany Straton. Yeah right, I
- 18:50Speaker 3: think that that's to me, that's beneath Chelsea Green. She's
- 18:53Speaker 3: she's bigger than that, she's better than.
- 18:55Speaker 2: That, right right. But didn't like, Nah, she was really groopy.
- 19:01Speaker 2: I mean, look how Tiffany Stratton got to where she is.
- 19:05Speaker 2: She was kind of a groupie for Naya, right, and
- 19:08Speaker 2: then Nya's champion. She kind of wrote off Nia's coattails
- 19:12Speaker 2: for a while. Then she was able to gain something
- 19:15Speaker 2: an opportunity like money in the bank, and she was
- 19:18Speaker 2: able to, you know, use as a jumping point for Naya.
- 19:24Speaker 2: I mean I could see that happening something similar where
- 19:27Speaker 2: you know Tiffany. Maybe it's she's just trying to get
- 19:30Speaker 2: close to the United States title. You know, maybe that's
- 19:33Speaker 2: the end goal.
- 19:36Speaker 4: But it only works if she if it pays off
- 19:38Speaker 4: with her winning the belt.
- 19:40Speaker 2: Mm hmm.
- 19:41Speaker 3: She does all this just to turn on Tiffy to
- 19:43Speaker 3: try to get a title shot and then lose in pointless.
- 19:50Speaker 2: Yep. Uh guys, I uh a little bit trivia here.
- 19:56Speaker 2: I'm gonna give you a rundown this guy's titles. You're
- 20:00Speaker 2: gonna tell me who this wrestler is, all right, okay,
- 20:05Speaker 2: okay uh. This man has held the Hardcore title. He
- 20:13Speaker 2: has held the WWF Tag Team titles nine times. He
- 20:24Speaker 2: has held the Intercontinental title four times. He has held
- 20:32Speaker 2: the European title. He has held the ec W title twice.
- 20:41Speaker 2: He has held the World Heavyweight Championship twice.
- 20:49Speaker 4: Now no.
- 20:52Speaker 2: He has held the World Tag Team title once, the
- 20:59Speaker 2: ww World Taxing title. He's held the Cruiserweight title. H
- 21:07Speaker 2: so he's also he's held the Cruiserweight He's also held
- 21:10Speaker 2: the world title and then ECW title. He has held
- 21:14Speaker 2: a t NA heavyweight title, he has held a he's
- 21:21Speaker 2: a two time TNT tag champion, Crankle and this man
- 21:28Speaker 2: is still active Christian Christian nice, right, Yeah, that's actually
- 21:41Speaker 2: that's prett damn good accolades, you know, like achievements.
- 21:45Speaker 8: Right there, good one, very good good goods over there
- 21:54Speaker 8: googling not at all.
- 21:58Speaker 3: You conveniently didn't mention how many times he was a
- 22:00Speaker 3: World tag team champion, because I probably would have given
- 22:03Speaker 3: it away.
- 22:04Speaker 2: Yeah, like I said nine because it said WWF, it
- 22:09Speaker 2: said nine, but like then one time world tag so
- 22:11Speaker 2: like ten times. But like I thought when I started
- 22:18Speaker 2: mentioned like outside the company, like since I mentioned like TNA,
- 22:23Speaker 2: I thought you would guys would have gotten it. Actually,
- 22:25Speaker 2: it's it's kind of funny because you soon as you
- 22:27Speaker 2: hear European title or hardcore, so you automatically go to attitude,
- 22:32Speaker 2: are obviously okay, who's who was wrestling the ads here?
- 22:36Speaker 2: And then you're like, then you hear something like the
- 22:38Speaker 2: world title not the w and I will tell you
- 22:40Speaker 2: if it's WWF or ww I'll definitely because it's that matters.
- 22:45Speaker 2: I'm gonna tell you Brett Hart was a WWE champion. No,
- 22:49Speaker 2: I'm gonna tell you Brett Hart was a WWF champion.
- 22:52Speaker 4: You know.
- 22:57Speaker 2: Okay, moving right along? What else I got? What else
- 23:02Speaker 2: do I got?
- 23:03Speaker 4: Here?
- 23:06Speaker 2: Has changed their music again. I don't know if if
- 23:08Speaker 2: I noticed that.
- 23:09Speaker 5: Yeah, I think the whole world just all the time.
- 23:11Speaker 2: It just seems like every week, you know, I know,
- 23:15Speaker 2: last episode we played soul Ruka's new music. I kind
- 23:19Speaker 2: of actually preferred her NXT music, but now she has
- 23:23Speaker 2: to get deaf Rabil music. So it seems like when
- 23:27Speaker 2: some people lose their entrance music.
- 23:29Speaker 3: Why she did not get much of a pop when
- 23:31Speaker 3: she came out on Monday, right like, I'm not gonna
- 23:35Speaker 3: lie about the music.
- 23:36Speaker 4: It did not recognize it. The only reason that already works.
- 23:40Speaker 2: The only reason why I knew what it was was
- 23:43Speaker 2: because of Doyle. That's it. That's the only reason why.
- 23:47Speaker 2: Because when he sent me this, I was like, Oh,
- 23:55Speaker 2: that's is that Dan Housen? Because it sounds like this
- 23:59Speaker 2: a little bit? Should I hear it a little bit?
- 24:09Speaker 9: I hear it.
- 24:10Speaker 2: I hear it too a little. I wonder if Dan
- 24:13Speaker 2: Housen's music is awesome. No, that's the older Dan House music.
- 24:18Speaker 5: That's that's not that.
- 24:19Speaker 2: There's no who, no, why no anyway? Yeah, you're right,
- 24:23Speaker 2: tray like when her music hit, it's that's a lot
- 24:26Speaker 2: of problems these wrestlers. It's like when their music hits, like,
- 24:29Speaker 2: who's that who?
- 24:32Speaker 3: And she had music in NXC that was at least
- 24:34Speaker 3: somewhat similar with the well consistent with her character. Yeah,
- 24:38Speaker 3: it was a theme that fit. Had a little bit
- 24:40Speaker 3: of a surfer beach type vibe, which is kind of
- 24:43Speaker 3: a little bit what her character is, and they had
- 24:46Speaker 3: to go and fuck with it for no reason.
- 24:49Speaker 2: Uh yeah, let me see if I can find it here, soul.
- 24:51Speaker 2: We're gonna know a uh chasing surf. That's probably her.
- 24:58Speaker 4: Current.
- 24:59Speaker 2: It's probably her next Oh right there, one's chasing sir.
- 25:03Speaker 2: Let me let me hear it. Oh no, oh no,
- 25:10Speaker 2: that's that's very Is that that?
- 25:17Speaker 4: I don't know. I didn't pay much attention to it
- 25:19Speaker 4: on Monday. I just knew it wasn't ther NXT thing. Yeah, yeah,
- 25:24Speaker 4: and it didn't stand out. That's the thing.
- 25:25Speaker 3: If the music hits and you don't recognize it or
- 25:27Speaker 3: it doesn't stand out, it's ship.
- 25:30Speaker 5: Yeah, he's a Fizzle not the pop. Yeah, I hate that.
- 25:39Speaker 7: Uh.
- 25:40Speaker 2: So, I guess June twenty seven Night Champions will still
- 25:45Speaker 2: happen in Saudi despite all the issues going on over there.
- 25:52Speaker 2: I know they were kind of on the fence about
- 25:54Speaker 2: the pay per view, but it seems like they're gonna
- 25:56Speaker 2: continue with it.
- 25:57Speaker 7: And are they doing another set down, uh, set up
- 26:01Speaker 7: and breakdown in two weeks thing?
- 26:04Speaker 4: I guess.
- 26:05Speaker 5: Geez.
- 26:07Speaker 2: They also decided they're still doing WrestleMania next year in Saudi.
- 26:11Speaker 5: What surprise.
- 26:13Speaker 2: Yeah, and John Cena has a big announcement this week
- 26:17Speaker 2: at Backlash and I was like, oh, he's probably announced
- 26:20Speaker 2: another Saudi thing. Eh, going to Summer Slam for Saudi already,
- 26:25Speaker 2: It's like, we're going to Saudi for Summer Slam. I
- 26:28Speaker 2: don't know, something terrible. Yeah, we gotta we got a deal.
- 26:32Speaker 5: We're going to.
- 26:32Speaker 2: Saudi for the next three years for WrestleMania.
- 26:35Speaker 5: No thanks.
- 26:36Speaker 2: They they prepaid, paid, They didn't even make the arena.
- 26:40Speaker 2: They're gonna make three different arenas.
- 26:42Speaker 7: They prepaid, and yet somehow they're letting go of all
- 26:45Speaker 7: these superstars. Yeah yeah, but they prepaid.
- 26:49Speaker 2: Yeah. So t KO is well, yeah, let's get right
- 26:55Speaker 2: into this h t KO is not looking too hot
- 26:58Speaker 2: with the fans right now in the wrestling community. And
- 27:02Speaker 2: that's probably because not only did we lose, and what
- 27:08Speaker 2: I mean lose, I don't mean like pass away I
- 27:12Speaker 2: before everyone's like, oh.
- 27:15Speaker 4: No no.
- 27:17Speaker 2: A lot of wrestlers got released, whether it was their
- 27:21Speaker 2: contracts were up and the negotiations fell through. And there's
- 27:28Speaker 2: we will talk about it too, about the deal that
- 27:31Speaker 2: they tried to strike with them. It was basically take
- 27:34Speaker 2: this deal within two days, I guess or something like that,
- 27:37Speaker 2: or leave, and some wrestlers took the option to lead
- 27:42Speaker 2: and some took the option to stay. But let's get
- 27:51Speaker 2: into it. I'm gonna redown the probably least known wrestlers
- 27:55Speaker 2: I got, let go and we'll work our way up.
- 27:57Speaker 2: That's probably easier. So Lucas, Chris Cruff, Chris Afino, this
- 28:06Speaker 2: this is probably NXT people, Trill London, Melick Blade, Chris Island, Tyreek, Tyson,
- 28:15Speaker 2: Serena Linton. I'm probably butchering these names. So I apologize,
- 28:19Speaker 2: tire May Steele. And then now we're getting some more
- 28:24Speaker 2: main roster people that you know that a lot of
- 28:27Speaker 2: us are familiar with. Alba Fire. She was with Chelsea
- 28:32Speaker 2: Green as one of her bodyguards. She's getting let go.
- 28:35Speaker 2: Zoe Stark, who's out with an injury for quite some time,
- 28:40Speaker 2: thought she might be making a comeback soon, but we
- 28:44Speaker 2: haven't got nothing for her. Uh Andre Chase, So that
- 28:50Speaker 2: is an NXT wrestler from Chase. They do that Chase
- 28:57Speaker 2: University gimmick.
- 28:58Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, uh.
- 29:02Speaker 2: Gone. So then they decided to release all of the
- 29:10Speaker 2: Wyatt Six, Joey Gacy, Joe Gasey Rowan, Eric Rowing, Dexter Loomis,
- 29:19Speaker 2: Niggy Cross and Uncle Howby Bo Dallas, the whole group, But.
- 29:25Speaker 7: They didn't Niggy Cross go first, and then like and
- 29:27Speaker 7: then a week later they released the rest of the
- 29:30Speaker 7: X I I.
- 29:31Speaker 2: Don't I went the way I saw it.
- 29:34Speaker 3: It was all at once a day later, if if
- 29:36Speaker 3: even that, they all all the all their names pretty
- 29:40Speaker 3: much came out at the same time. I think her
- 29:42Speaker 3: name might have come out first, but they were all
- 29:44Speaker 3: in out. I found out about them all the same day.
- 29:47Speaker 2: Well, I mean, let's face it, Cross Cee, right, that's
- 29:51Speaker 2: the first. It's pretty close to the beginning of the alphabet,
- 29:54Speaker 2: so they probably were going right down the line in alphabetically.
- 29:57Speaker 2: I don't know. Uh uh yeah, So the whole White Six,
- 30:02Speaker 2: like that's it's rare when an entire group gets butchered,
- 30:07Speaker 2: like an entire group, sometimes they salvage it, right, they
- 30:11Speaker 2: try to salvage at least one or two, you know,
- 30:14Speaker 2: wrestlers out of it, like maybe like Nikki Cross, I
- 30:16Speaker 2: could see them salvaging, maybe Joe Gacy, you know, I
- 30:20Speaker 2: can see them salvaging. But I guess, you know, after
- 30:25Speaker 2: we did speak about for a while how we were
- 30:28Speaker 2: getting exhausted with the Wyatts and the solo MFTs, just
- 30:36Speaker 2: that's it. That's the only few they've really had on
- 30:38Speaker 2: the main roster since they became the White Six, and
- 30:42Speaker 2: it was getting kind of boring. That's all they had.
- 30:46Speaker 2: They couldn't they were they didn't have anything else, any
- 30:50Speaker 2: other challenges either side. So they're gone. MotorCity machine Guns,
- 30:58Speaker 2: both of them gone. Ah, Santos Escobar gone, Paula Cruz.
- 31:09Speaker 2: I think I seen him on TV once last year. Gone.
- 31:15Speaker 2: So some of these do make sense. Some of these
- 31:19Speaker 2: don't make sense. Alistair Black and Selena Vega. Now, there
- 31:26Speaker 2: was a rumor going around I seen on the internet
- 31:28Speaker 2: that they're saying that TKO just doesn't like dark characters. Yeah,
- 31:35Speaker 2: and I was like, really because they were they still
- 31:39Speaker 2: kept the Alexa Bliss dark character for a bit that
- 31:41Speaker 2: you literally just did a Demon Baala you know type match.
- 31:50Speaker 5: It's like contradictory.
- 31:53Speaker 2: It's like they do some some stuff and you just
- 31:59Speaker 2: either do it all or none of it, Like, don't
- 32:03Speaker 2: be picky like that. Yeah. I don't believe that's true, though.
- 32:07Speaker 2: I was like, really, because cornerstone of wrestling legacy was
- 32:12Speaker 2: built off of, you know, character gimmicks like the Undertaker
- 32:16Speaker 2: and Kane and Papa Shango and you know what I mean,
- 32:19Speaker 2: like man, like you know, the list goes on, Like,
- 32:25Speaker 2: so don't fucking sit there and tell me that they're
- 32:27Speaker 2: not interested in that when they know, damn well.
- 32:30Speaker 5: Like it would it would make them the money they see.
- 32:33Speaker 3: Yeah, I just I listen, what your first mistake is
- 32:37Speaker 3: thinking TK knows anything about wrestling?
- 32:40Speaker 5: Yeah, well, yeah, that's true.
- 32:42Speaker 4: So saying that they know, damn well, they clearly don't.
- 32:47Speaker 4: I guess they clearly don't.
- 32:50Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean by who they let oh yeah, and
- 32:53Speaker 2: the decisions they fucking made in the past few weeks
- 32:55Speaker 2: now and then the probably one of well one of
- 33:02Speaker 2: the biggest that would let go before the other day
- 33:07Speaker 2: was Kyrie Sane, and to me, that one totally didn't
- 33:12Speaker 2: make sense. I was like, wait, she's on TV weekly,
- 33:16Speaker 2: She's involved in a storyline that's actually been interesting, Like
- 33:21Speaker 2: she's been involved in always been involved in some sort
- 33:24Speaker 2: of storylines. They've always had something for her character, and
- 33:29Speaker 2: it was actually going somewhere like there was gonna be
- 33:31Speaker 2: a payoff behind it. There was definitely a steam behind it.
- 33:35Speaker 2: And now it's like we're kind of getting into a
- 33:38Speaker 2: backlash where it could should pay off. This is probably
- 33:42Speaker 2: where she should pay off. And yeah, now we're kind
- 33:45Speaker 2: of just she doesn't exist, Like, we don't even bring
- 33:48Speaker 2: it up poof Kyrie just yeah, exactly, Kyrie just disappeared.
- 33:56Speaker 2: You know, we don't even bring her up.
- 33:57Speaker 5: Where is she not?
- 33:59Speaker 2: Nothing, dude, nothing to any these promos this week. Nothing,
- 34:02Speaker 2: she's in the ethos now, oh my god. So yeah,
- 34:06Speaker 2: I was pretty upset about that. Great wonderful Then I
- 34:11Speaker 2: heard that, you know, TKO then decided to pretty ballsy
- 34:20Speaker 2: of them to tell wrestlers you can take a fifty
- 34:23Speaker 2: percent pay cut or leave. I don't know if it
- 34:29Speaker 2: was offered to every wrestler but I know there were
- 34:32Speaker 2: wrestlers you didn't take the deal, and those wrestlers were Toungaloa,
- 34:37Speaker 2: j C. Matteo, Xavier Woods, and Kofi Kingston. That shit
- 34:45Speaker 2: blew my mind. First of all, the amount of money
- 34:48Speaker 2: that they low ball them is you know, do you
- 34:52Speaker 2: remember there was a WrestleMania where we had Ronda Rousey
- 34:57Speaker 2: versus Becky Lynch at the main event, right, even though
- 35:01Speaker 2: that was the main event. What did we call that WrestleMania? Kofemnia?
- 35:08Speaker 2: That's what people reference that WrestleMania to as Kofemania. That
- 35:11Speaker 2: man is a former w W champion. Like, no proper
- 35:17Speaker 2: send off for the New Day nothing. It's like they
- 35:21Speaker 2: don't even exist. And I I could see where they
- 35:27Speaker 2: could go. Is they're probably gonna go to AW because
- 35:29Speaker 2: they mentioned before about having matches with the Young Bucks
- 35:35Speaker 2: Jerry match of theirs. I guess and andref posted, Uh,
- 35:40Speaker 2: it's a New Day, you know, so I could see
- 35:45Speaker 2: them jumping over to a W and I got a
- 35:49Speaker 2: lot more screen time. It just sucks that this is
- 35:52Speaker 2: how they had to go by Tonguealowa and Jason Matteo.
- 35:57Speaker 2: I guess I could see it. I know.
- 36:01Speaker 5: I have an army.
- 36:03Speaker 2: I mean, like the is like, where are those guys
- 36:06Speaker 2: gonna go? You know, I don't know where those guys are?
- 36:11Speaker 2: Maybe who knows? But Trey, what are your thoughts on
- 36:16Speaker 2: all these releases? Some of these people who are let go?
- 36:20Speaker 2: Where do you think some of these people might go?
- 36:28Speaker 3: Most of them I don't have much of an issue
- 36:30Speaker 3: with just because they make sense. I mean, whether it's
- 36:34Speaker 3: talent that's just not developing at the rate that they
- 36:39Speaker 3: that you know, the executives want, or if they're just
- 36:43Speaker 3: not quite you know, getting the hang of it and
- 36:45Speaker 3: maybe they need to, or they've been with the company
- 36:48Speaker 3: for a number of years and just haven't gotten to
- 36:51Speaker 3: the point that they want. So it's a matter of,
- 36:54Speaker 3: you know, how much more time are we really going
- 36:55Speaker 3: to invest in this talent if they're not at the
- 36:58Speaker 3: level we want them at for or how long they've
- 37:01Speaker 3: been here and they decided to let them go.
- 37:02Speaker 4: Stuff like that is understandable. People like the Wired.
- 37:06Speaker 3: Six makes perfect sense because they have nothing for them
- 37:12Speaker 3: And regardless of whether TKO is interested in dark gimmicks
- 37:17Speaker 3: or not, really doesn't do anything for the WY six
- 37:22Speaker 3: because that was a gimmick that had gone stale long ago.
- 37:29Speaker 3: It was cool when they first came back, and they
- 37:33Speaker 3: seem to have a lot of interest, which was a
- 37:35Speaker 3: lot of it tied to, you know, the memory of
- 37:37Speaker 3: bray Wye, and they rode off that they had the
- 37:40Speaker 3: one cool moment when they murdered the Raw Roster and
- 37:45Speaker 3: they had that he had people interested then, but from
- 37:49Speaker 3: that moment on it was pretty much downhill. Like the moment,
- 37:53Speaker 3: like y'all remember they did that right when they had
- 37:55Speaker 3: that episode of Raw and it ended with everybody dead.
- 37:58Speaker 4: Backstage, Chad Gable had that like a freaking hole in
- 38:01Speaker 4: his head. Yeah, yeah, right, like.
- 38:08Speaker 3: Murdered half the Raw Roster and ship, and then two
- 38:12Speaker 3: weeks later Chad Gables back on TV like nothing happened
- 38:14Speaker 3: like the moment they did that. Why six was dead.
- 38:21Speaker 3: They they ruined him. The whole mystique, any mystery interest
- 38:24Speaker 3: that they had was kind of lost at that point.
- 38:27Speaker 3: And from there's supposedly they were like their first their
- 38:30Speaker 3: thing when they first came back was we're targeting people
- 38:33Speaker 3: who who have turned their back on their family or
- 38:36Speaker 3: you know, didn't appreciate their family. That was kind of
- 38:38Speaker 3: their thing, and then they just kind of abandoned that
- 38:40Speaker 3: and they just became a group of fucking weirdos that
- 38:43Speaker 3: just popped up every now and then we're attacking people
- 38:46Speaker 3: like so, I mean, it had long since gone stale,
- 38:51Speaker 3: so they wrapped up the MFT thing. They're gone. So
- 38:54Speaker 3: be it like to me that was warranted. I think
- 38:57Speaker 3: that was That was one of the ones I think
- 38:59Speaker 3: I had predicted on social media could was like potentially happened.
- 39:05Speaker 3: Zoe Stark. I'm a little bit surprised about Zoe's start
- 39:08Speaker 3: because last I heard that they were planning stuff for
- 39:14Speaker 3: her to return, that they when they returned, like they
- 39:16Speaker 3: were coming up with storylines for her, when she was
- 39:19Speaker 3: when she was gonna come back, because obviously, remember she
- 39:23Speaker 3: had the horrific knee injury last year. Supposedly she had
- 39:27Speaker 3: been healthy and she was ready to return, and they
- 39:29Speaker 3: were just coming up with something for her and then
- 39:31Speaker 3: suddenly just gone. I don't know if it's because creative
- 39:36Speaker 3: sucks and they couldn't come up with anything compelling for her,
- 39:38Speaker 3: which kind of doesn't make much sense, or if it's
- 39:42Speaker 3: maybe a case of they feel like she may be
- 39:44Speaker 3: too much of a liability because she's too often injured
- 39:47Speaker 3: because she does have an injury history with WW. She
- 39:50Speaker 3: was injured a lot in NXT, so maybe that played
- 39:56Speaker 3: a factor into it. But either way, I think she'll
- 39:58Speaker 3: be fine. She'll find six either on the independent scene
- 40:01Speaker 3: or shit. I think she could work well in AEW
- 40:03Speaker 3: in that woman's division, So I think she'll be fine.
- 40:07Speaker 4: She'll do well. I wish her the best. The Kyrie
- 40:12Speaker 4: Saying thing.
- 40:15Speaker 3: Was it made no sense, Like you said, that was
- 40:22Speaker 3: a talent that was involved in an active storyline that
- 40:27Speaker 3: people were actually invested in. People were invested in seeing
- 40:32Speaker 3: where this storyline was going to go. That's why people
- 40:34Speaker 3: were mad that we didn't get EO and Oscar at WrestleMania,
- 40:38Speaker 3: because people felt like that was a WrestleMania match and
- 40:43Speaker 3: we were expecting to see a payoff for it. Then
- 40:46Speaker 3: and then y'all push it to backlash and then it
- 40:50Speaker 3: released Kyrie Saying, and then y'all got EO and Oscar
- 40:53Speaker 3: out of here, acting like the last six months to
- 40:58Speaker 3: a year just hasn't had Like it's just like, oh,
- 41:02Speaker 3: you've changed, I'm mad at you, Like I'm sorry. We
- 41:07Speaker 3: are we just supposed to pretend like you didn't just
- 41:08Speaker 3: bully the ship out our homegirl for the last year.
- 41:14Speaker 3: Like it's that type of asonine bullshit that you can't
- 41:18Speaker 3: expect fans but to swallow that ship. But so much
- 41:22Speaker 3: before they before they really start to turn. I don't
- 41:25Speaker 3: think fans are gonna boo a match or anything like that,
- 41:27Speaker 3: or turn on EO and Oscar themselves, because again, they're
- 41:30Speaker 3: just the talent. But I imagine when we do get
- 41:34Speaker 3: this match at at a Backlash, you're gonna hear a
- 41:37Speaker 3: fuck ton of loud ass we want Kyrie chance anything
- 41:46Speaker 3: during that match, because people still want it. I know
- 41:48Speaker 3: there's some rumor, spectors, some speculation, Oh maybe they might
- 41:51Speaker 3: bring her back the match just to wrap things up. No, no,
- 41:56Speaker 3: you ruined it. Yeah, if you do it, it'll get
- 41:58Speaker 3: a pop. But you still ruined what should have been
- 42:03Speaker 3: something special, which should have should have been a payoff
- 42:07Speaker 3: to a to A to a good storyline. Should have
- 42:12Speaker 3: gotten the payoff at it at WrestleMania and then y'all
- 42:14Speaker 3: could have moved forward. Hell, even if you were going
- 42:17Speaker 3: to release Kyrie and y'all, I'm pretty sure they knew
- 42:23Speaker 3: before WrestleMania that they wanted to do this. I don't
- 42:28Speaker 3: think that WrestleMania happened, and then TKO came up to
- 42:31Speaker 3: the Triple Ah and said, you know, hey, you got
- 42:34Speaker 3: seven days to release this amount of talent. I'm sure
- 42:37Speaker 3: this is something that's been in the works for a
- 42:39Speaker 3: while if you were thinking of releasing Kyrie, saying why
- 42:43Speaker 3: not wrap up the storyline and pay it off at WrestleMania.
- 42:46Speaker 3: I bet And had they done that and wrapped it
- 42:49Speaker 3: up and paid it off at WrestleMania and then released Kyrie,
- 42:52Speaker 3: they probably wouldn't have anywhere near as much backlash as
- 42:55Speaker 3: they as they're getting now. Fans would probably still be upset,
- 43:00Speaker 3: but I think fans would have been able to tolerate
- 43:02Speaker 3: it a little bit more, just because at least we
- 43:04Speaker 3: got closure to the story that could have made it
- 43:10Speaker 3: a bit more tolerable. But no, they just fucked that
- 43:14Speaker 3: all up. And as far as the New Day goes,
- 43:21Speaker 3: you know what, respect to them for knowing their worth.
- 43:26Speaker 3: You know, these guys apparently had just signed deals not
- 43:31Speaker 3: too long ago, new deals I think sometime like late
- 43:35Speaker 3: last year, had signed new deals that were apparently like
- 43:39Speaker 3: in the seventh figure range from what I heard. But
- 43:44Speaker 3: regardless of whatever they mount was how the hell, you going,
- 43:49Speaker 3: Why are you gonna sign guys to new contracts and
- 43:53Speaker 3: then barely even six months later come to them to
- 43:58Speaker 3: try to renegotiate and then when we negotiate at half price?
- 44:03Speaker 3: Fuck no, I'd have probably done the same thing. Like
- 44:07Speaker 3: y'all want me to do what you mean the contract
- 44:10Speaker 3: I just signed six months ago. Don't want me to
- 44:12Speaker 3: sign a new one for half of what that one is?
- 44:14Speaker 4: No, I'm good. No, are you gonna release me? Okay? Whatever?
- 44:18Speaker 2: Bye?
- 44:19Speaker 3: Yeah, you're not about don't know. I know my worth,
- 44:22Speaker 3: I know my value. You're not about to hear and
- 44:23Speaker 3: play in my face about my money. I mean that's
- 44:27Speaker 3: disrespectful as far as I'm concerned.
- 44:28Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it doesn't even matter if we were talking
- 44:30Speaker 2: about professional wrestlers. I mean, just anybody just go to
- 44:33Speaker 2: your into your job and you know, if somebody comes
- 44:36Speaker 2: up to you tomorrow and tells you, hey, we're gonna
- 44:38Speaker 2: give you a fifty percent pay cut or you know,
- 44:41Speaker 2: you have two days to decide or you're done, like
- 44:44Speaker 2: you're done, and you're like what, like why because oh,
- 44:48Speaker 2: we made you know, like shit financial decisions and now
- 44:53Speaker 2: it trickles down you know hill, and its absolutely sucks
- 44:58Speaker 2: that the wrestlers are are the ones that are paid
- 45:01Speaker 2: for it because they've the the CEO, and like Big
- 45:05Speaker 2: Waves have been taking the corporate people have been taking
- 45:08Speaker 2: huge fucking pays, huge pays. And I saw a post
- 45:12Speaker 2: of the other day of the Rock was that like,
- 45:15Speaker 2: uh with some the gallous some Gallo Awards ceremony or
- 45:18Speaker 2: some shit, and he was wearing like a three million
- 45:21Speaker 2: dollar ring that he just got and it's like cool man,
- 45:26Speaker 2: that ring could have paid for like several salaries of
- 45:29Speaker 2: professional wrestlers.
- 45:31Speaker 3: Well, I wouldn't. I would not combine those two things together. One,
- 45:38Speaker 3: bost of rocks income has nothing to do with TKO.
- 45:42Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 45:42Speaker 3: Two, he probably rented that piece of Joey. It's not
- 45:47Speaker 3: something I think he actually bought and owned. Usually most
- 45:50Speaker 3: pieces like that, some jeweler has it and they either
- 45:54Speaker 3: copy it to a star just would get seen, or
- 45:57Speaker 3: it's a rental thing for a night they paid it,
- 46:01Speaker 3: go out there Rocket, give it back the same night
- 46:04Speaker 3: or the next day, get that money back. So I
- 46:08Speaker 3: would not look at that as and try to connect
- 46:12Speaker 3: that to you know, what they're doing with with w W,
- 46:15Speaker 3: at least not in the case of the Rock because again,
- 46:17Speaker 3: like that man's worth hundreds of millions of dollars and
- 46:21Speaker 3: them hundreds of million dollars have nothing to do with TKO.
- 46:28Speaker 3: But people like like Ari Emanuel, you know, the owner
- 46:33Speaker 3: or CEO of it, and Mark Shapiro and people like that,
- 46:37Speaker 3: who yes, are top level execs who have seen pay
- 46:42Speaker 3: increases substantially while and then they're turning around and asking
- 46:48Speaker 3: wrestlers to take pay cuts just because you got this
- 46:52Speaker 3: inherited debt from the endeavored days or whatever. Oh well, yeah,
- 46:58Speaker 3: why you ask the people at the bottom meant to
- 47:00Speaker 3: take the cut? Like, first off, you want to reduce
- 47:02Speaker 3: pay start at the top. Of course they'll never do that,
- 47:05Speaker 3: they'll never cut their own money, but they want to
- 47:09Speaker 3: ask everybody beneath them that they're that's I know that,
- 47:12Speaker 3: that's corporations.
- 47:13Speaker 4: That's corporate business. And it sucks. But it sucks. It
- 47:16Speaker 4: always sucks.
- 47:17Speaker 3: It sucks, and no matter what industry it is, when
- 47:20Speaker 3: the people at the top take our making money while
- 47:23Speaker 3: asking people at the bottom to take pay cuts.
- 47:27Speaker 2: Right now, let me executive compensation for twenty twenty five
- 47:31Speaker 2: COO Ari Emanuel sixty seven point four million total, including
- 47:36Speaker 2: three million salary and forty three point nine million in
- 47:39Speaker 2: stock awards, President COO Mark Shapiro forty two point six
- 47:45Speaker 2: million last year and then WW President Nikon twenty four
- 47:50Speaker 2: point three million. The earning highlights. The total revenue for
- 47:58Speaker 2: last year or this year so far has been one
- 48:01Speaker 2: point five billion the net income and forty nine point
- 48:06Speaker 2: eight million UFC. Just the UFC alone has brought in
- 48:12Speaker 2: four hundred and one point two million. WWE alone has
- 48:17Speaker 2: brought brought in four hundred and seventy five point seven million,
- 48:23Speaker 2: So it's brought in more than UFC, So bringing in
- 48:30Speaker 2: lots of money. Uh, and you can see where a
- 48:35Speaker 2: big chunk of that money is going. Uh. Just that's
- 48:40Speaker 2: a lot.
- 48:40Speaker 4: Damn.
- 48:42Speaker 2: That's absolutely insane. Uh, I'm are you know what? Also,
- 48:51Speaker 2: because we saw the New Day and and two members
- 48:57Speaker 2: of the mft's leave. This is a week later after
- 49:01Speaker 2: the layoffs. Dre, do you think like this week we'll
- 49:06Speaker 2: get another wave of layoffs or another wave of people
- 49:09Speaker 2: wanting to quit or leave? You think we're done?
- 49:16Speaker 4: I think anything's on the table at this point.
- 49:19Speaker 3: It depends on how these how much of the roster
- 49:23Speaker 3: they went to with these proposed talent. I mean these
- 49:27Speaker 3: proposed pay cuts and how many have chosen to accept
- 49:31Speaker 3: it or how many people have chosen to decline it.
- 49:36Speaker 4: I'm pretty sure they.
- 49:37Speaker 3: Didn't go to everybody on the roster with it, Like
- 49:39Speaker 3: I doubt they went to people like, you know, they
- 49:42Speaker 3: ain't go to the old Cody Road somebody, hey man,
- 49:44Speaker 3: we want to cut your pay in half, or somebody
- 49:47Speaker 3: like see him Punk or say hey man, we need
- 49:49Speaker 3: to take a fifty pay cut.
- 49:51Speaker 2: No, Punk would be like, you pay me. Uh, some
- 49:55Speaker 2: people do. People are Broman, the big, the big one.
- 49:59Speaker 2: I like after that was like, oh yeah, they're they're
- 50:01Speaker 2: gonna ask Roman and he's gonna and he's gonna leave.
- 50:06Speaker 2: Roman Rains is gonna quit and a lot of people
- 50:09Speaker 2: are speculating that because he's also all his June dates
- 50:13Speaker 2: for Raw are now gone. They're all gone, And I'm
- 50:17Speaker 2: just like, first off, Roman Rains brings in so much
- 50:21Speaker 2: money for them. Yeah, really fucking think they're gonna lowball him. No.
- 50:28Speaker 2: I do believe, though, now that this is coming more
- 50:31Speaker 2: and more to late, that they asked. I think they
- 50:34Speaker 2: asked bron Lesner at one point to restructure his contract
- 50:37Speaker 2: and he was like no, And that's why we got
- 50:41Speaker 2: to say abrupt retirement. You know, I could be wrong.
- 50:47Speaker 2: I could totally be wrong, but that's just an assumption
- 50:49Speaker 2: I think. I see, Yeah, right, he can't because I mean,
- 50:56Speaker 2: was it real, Like you mean that people were very
- 50:59Speaker 2: shocked that.
- 50:59Speaker 5: He just.
- 51:01Speaker 7: And the fact that they are chasing them the way
- 51:03Speaker 7: they are about it, Like supposedly they filed up like
- 51:06Speaker 7: a class action lawsuit against him for preaching contract or whatever.
- 51:09Speaker 5: Who knows. I don't, but like he can't just let
- 51:13Speaker 5: that man and go out on his own terms.
- 51:16Speaker 4: Come on, come on, for what it's worth. I don't
- 51:19Speaker 4: believe any of that.
- 51:21Speaker 3: I just whether they asked him to restructure his contract
- 51:25Speaker 3: or anything like that. What kind of contract could he
- 51:30Speaker 3: possibly have for for the number of days that he works?
- 51:37Speaker 3: I really don't. I really doubt it because he does.
- 51:40Speaker 3: I don't think he has the traditional contract that most
- 51:45Speaker 3: w w E talent have, where it's a X amount
- 51:48Speaker 3: of dollars or whatever per year with whatever you know.
- 51:53Speaker 4: Other clauses or stuff that are put in there.
- 51:55Speaker 3: I think he has his probably more similar to maybe
- 52:00Speaker 3: what John Cena may have had in his last year,
- 52:02Speaker 3: like hey, you know, it's X amount of dollars and
- 52:06Speaker 3: certain number of dates we want you to work. I
- 52:10Speaker 3: think his contract was probably something more more in line
- 52:14Speaker 3: to something like that, whereas nowhere there's you know, seven
- 52:20Speaker 3: million dollars and we want you to work six dates
- 52:24Speaker 3: or whatever. So it could be some it's probably something
- 52:28Speaker 3: more like that is what his contract was, and maybe
- 52:31Speaker 3: it's a matter of whether he's fulfilled those.
- 52:33Speaker 4: Dates or not. Again, I still don't know.
- 52:36Speaker 3: I'm still not on the fence that I mean, I'm
- 52:39Speaker 3: still not fully of the belief that he's retired yet.
- 52:42Speaker 3: I'm still not rolling out Summer Slam yep, at WrestleMania.
- 52:48Speaker 3: But that could have just been him saying goodbye to WrestleMania.
- 52:51Speaker 3: That could have been him being performative. That could be
- 52:54Speaker 3: WWE completely working us all just to set him up
- 52:57Speaker 3: to return at SummerSlam for one less match.
- 53:00Speaker 5: So I don't know. I see him, I see him
- 53:03Speaker 5: doing the X thing for real, like putting up the X.
- 53:08Speaker 4: I buy that.
- 53:10Speaker 5: I think he's done.
- 53:14Speaker 3: Yeah, you know what also kind of speaks against that
- 53:20Speaker 3: though he still hasn't been moved to the alumni section.
- 53:25Speaker 5: Mm hmm, okay, all right, interesting people.
- 53:30Speaker 3: Meanwhile, they moved New Day to the alumni section before.
- 53:33Speaker 3: That's how people found out they got released.
- 53:36Speaker 2: Somebody's watching that ship like, you know, like a hawk.
- 53:42Speaker 3: I guess, like, like I just said, the week after Wrestlemingia,
- 53:48Speaker 3: is that that Black Friday? That's that's We've kind of
- 53:51Speaker 3: seen that this cycle for a couple of years now,
- 53:54Speaker 3: like right after week after WrestleMania.
- 53:57Speaker 2: That's that's a terrible term. That's true because like, yeah,
- 54:01Speaker 2: we do get a bunch of releases. The fact that, yeah,
- 54:05Speaker 2: but the fact that we know what's coming sucks. It
- 54:09Speaker 2: shouldn't be. It should And I brought this up to
- 54:12Speaker 2: like people who I talked to about it who aren't
- 54:14Speaker 2: who just casual fans. I'm like, yeah, it's like every
- 54:18Speaker 2: year it's like the chopping blog, you know.
- 54:20Speaker 5: And I understand from a business.
- 54:23Speaker 2: Point because it's kind of like the bringing of a
- 54:24Speaker 2: new season, like who are we gonna keep for the
- 54:28Speaker 2: next few years, Like this is the perfect time to
- 54:30Speaker 2: do it, you know.
- 54:31Speaker 3: But exactly, it's not unheard of in sports. It's not
- 54:36Speaker 3: heard of in regular sports either. Like in the NFL.
- 54:39Speaker 3: Everybody knows Black Monday in the NFL is what they
- 54:43Speaker 3: call it. It's basically the Monday after uh the last
- 54:46Speaker 3: game of the regular season.
- 54:48Speaker 4: They know.
- 54:49Speaker 3: But if they call black Monday, because a bunch of
- 54:51Speaker 3: coaches and stuff like that are probably gonna get fired.
- 54:53Speaker 4: Who don't who didn't perform well?
- 54:55Speaker 3: And sure enough week eighteen or and on Sunday night
- 54:59Speaker 3: or Monday after Monday Night football the next day, you'll
- 55:02Speaker 3: hear this coach got fired.
- 55:04Speaker 4: This coach got fired, this coach.
- 55:06Speaker 7: It's gonna ben It's gonna be an interesting season, for sure,
- 55:10Speaker 7: I know that much.
- 55:11Speaker 5: I'm looking forward to it. Co Pittsburg, Pittsburg.
- 55:15Speaker 4: So you hear that, it's not unheard of.
- 55:17Speaker 3: So I mean in the fact that w w E
- 55:19Speaker 3: right after their you know, their big event, WrestleMania started
- 55:22Speaker 3: the old basically what you can call the quote unquote
- 55:25Speaker 3: New Year, and it starts off with some returning talent
- 55:29Speaker 3: and a bunch of folk getting let go.
- 55:31Speaker 7: Well, then that's the question who who's returning? Then, Tyler, Well,
- 55:37Speaker 7: I'm talking. I'm not like Kevin Ellens, What's what's what's
- 55:41Speaker 7: going on?
- 55:41Speaker 2: Happened?
- 55:42Speaker 4: Let it go? He ain't coming back no time soon.
- 55:48Speaker 5: But that's what I'm injury.
- 55:51Speaker 4: People keep breaking his name up like but.
- 55:54Speaker 5: But what I'm saying he'd be prime target to be
- 55:57Speaker 5: let go.
- 55:58Speaker 2: Have they done that yet out with somebody like that,
- 56:01Speaker 2: they know they can make tons of money off Kevin Owens.
- 56:05Speaker 3: No, no, No, that's a it's a valid ask in
- 56:10Speaker 3: this t KO era as because they've shown themselves to clearly.
- 56:13Speaker 4: Be coldest, ruthless, ruthless exactly.
- 56:17Speaker 3: And to them, they they like you tried to mention
- 56:22Speaker 3: earlier about you know, what Tikyo was thinking, or their
- 56:26Speaker 3: wrestling acumen or whatever, they have none. They don't look
- 56:30Speaker 3: all they see w product and numbers and income and expenses.
- 56:38Speaker 3: They don't know jack shit about wrestling. I doubt they
- 56:41Speaker 3: really care that much about wrestling. They do not look
- 56:44Speaker 3: at wrestling in the same sense that we look at
- 56:47Speaker 3: wrestling in the sense that Vince McMahon looked at wrestling,
- 56:50Speaker 3: how Tripleah looked at wrestling, even how Ted Turner rest
- 56:54Speaker 3: in Peace by the way, looked at wrestling as an
- 56:58Speaker 3: investment and something that you know, they actually were somewhat
- 57:03Speaker 3: invested in and cared about.
- 57:04Speaker 4: That's not TKO to them. It is pure business and numbers.
- 57:09Speaker 3: So it's totally in the realm of possibility that they
- 57:12Speaker 3: could look at a guy like Kevin Owens, who is
- 57:15Speaker 3: sidelined with a neck injury out in definitely could be
- 57:19Speaker 3: years and be like, why is this money still on
- 57:23Speaker 3: our books? I think the only saving grace about it
- 57:26Speaker 3: is that it's not TKO who's making the decisions.
- 57:32Speaker 4: On hiring and firing, at least not with all of them.
- 57:36Speaker 4: Some of them.
- 57:36Speaker 3: They pretty much put the owners on Triple AH, like, hey,
- 57:40Speaker 3: they basically just give the mandate down him cut X
- 57:42Speaker 3: amount of talent, and Triple H has to go in
- 57:45Speaker 3: there and choose who, Which is why Triple AH just
- 57:48Speaker 3: catch probably catches a lot of flak and some of
- 57:51Speaker 3: this too, because we know that he's the one that's
- 57:53Speaker 3: picking some names. So you have to wonder, especially names
- 57:56Speaker 3: like Kyrie saying okay, somebody like Kyrie saying, did Trip
- 58:00Speaker 3: Lates choose that?
- 58:01Speaker 4: Or did TKO make that choice?
- 58:04Speaker 3: Because you would think Triple H would know better than
- 58:06Speaker 3: to make a dumbass decision like that. But I wouldn't
- 58:11Speaker 3: rule it out that it was a Triple a's decision,
- 58:13Speaker 3: that maybe he did make that decision.
- 58:16Speaker 4: Things like New.
- 58:16Speaker 3: Day and all that stuff clearly seemed to be more
- 58:19Speaker 3: TKO than Triple AH because the apparently the thing is
- 58:24Speaker 3: that they wanted to It wasn't just that they wanted
- 58:27Speaker 3: them to re sign new deals. They wanted them to
- 58:29Speaker 3: sign TKO deals, which just seems to imply that the
- 58:34Speaker 3: contracts that they signed I guess at the end of
- 58:37Speaker 3: last year were contracts with WWE, and it seems like
- 58:43Speaker 3: TKO is now coming in and wanting to basically tear
- 58:47Speaker 3: up those contracts with WWE and sign them to contracts
- 58:51Speaker 3: with TKO. And that's where the price cut is coming in.
- 58:55Speaker 3: And they're saying, like, you know, TKO is parent companies,
- 58:58Speaker 3: saying like no, no, no, you're not. You may work
- 59:01Speaker 3: for w W but your contract we want you to
- 59:04Speaker 3: have a new contract with us t KO the parent
- 59:07Speaker 3: company as opposed to w W WEE. And that's why
- 59:09Speaker 3: they're trying to get them to take these pay cuts
- 59:11Speaker 3: and in a new day safe in new Day's case,
- 59:15Speaker 3: they're basically saying no, no.
- 59:19Speaker 5: You know what, And I can't when you put it
- 59:21Speaker 5: like that, can't blame them, not at all. I wouldn't
- 59:25Speaker 5: walk because that's not that's not what you signed on
- 59:31Speaker 5: to do, you know what I mean.
- 59:32Speaker 7: That's like how I feel about my job, Like I
- 59:34Speaker 7: do what I signed on to do nothing more than
- 59:36Speaker 7: nothing less. They signed them to do that with that company.
- 59:40Speaker 7: So the fact that you're asking them to sign completely
- 59:42Speaker 7: different contracts that is not under the company that they
- 59:46Speaker 7: are employed to that that No, No, that seems pretty
- 59:51Speaker 7: pretty sisfied.
- 59:52Speaker 3: It's it's I mean, from a dollar amount standpoint, it
- 59:56Speaker 3: is absolutely disrespectful.
- 59:58Speaker 4: I mean from a contract standpoint.
- 1:00:00Speaker 3: I mean, given that TKO is the parent company of
- 1:00:04Speaker 3: w WE, essentially everything that is WWE TKO owns, so
- 1:00:08Speaker 3: they do have some probably some measure of control or whatever.
- 1:00:13Speaker 4: But it all does seem it seems it's all mucky.
- 1:00:19Speaker 3: And obviously I don't I don't have the the business
- 1:00:22Speaker 3: law knowledge to try to even speculat or dig into that.
- 1:00:28Speaker 2: Right teller, you got anything else who can add about
- 1:00:35Speaker 2: the the layoffs.
- 1:00:38Speaker 5: Sale.
- 1:00:40Speaker 7: It's just it sucks because I think there's a lot
- 1:00:43Speaker 7: of people that you could have built. You know, you
- 1:00:46Speaker 7: had the potential to build great storylines with Alice, I'll
- 1:00:50Speaker 7: stick with it, Aliser Black and Sila Vega.
- 1:00:53Speaker 5: You know, I don't think they should have gone. Then
- 1:00:56Speaker 5: there's a lot of people that are still around that
- 1:00:58Speaker 5: I'm like, how didn't you you know, why? Why are
- 1:01:01Speaker 5: you still here in Louis somebody that just had you know,
- 1:01:05Speaker 5: big TV time. But I don't know. I'm just, uh,
- 1:01:13Speaker 5: I don't know, disappointed.
- 1:01:17Speaker 2: Yeah, man, I'm I'm pretty damn disappointed. I mean, every
- 1:01:20Speaker 2: time we do this, there's it's there's always a handful
- 1:01:24Speaker 2: of wrestlers. God damn. Uh real quick, Okay, you had
- 1:01:30Speaker 2: to bring back one male wrestler who got let go,
- 1:01:33Speaker 2: but you have to fire one current the wrestler saying
- 1:01:37Speaker 2: thing of the female you have to bring you bring
- 1:01:39Speaker 2: back water female, but you have to fire another bummer?
- 1:01:44Speaker 5: Right decisions decisions?
- 1:01:50Speaker 2: Anybody drey firing firing a male and a female, and
- 1:02:03Speaker 2: you're hiring back to people who got fired.
- 1:02:05Speaker 4: Oh shit, well from the males.
- 1:02:14Speaker 3: Sorry, as far as male the men's wrestlers go, it's
- 1:02:18Speaker 3: not one person I would bring back.
- 1:02:20Speaker 2: I can't if you have to.
- 1:02:23Speaker 4: No, I'm not.
- 1:02:24Speaker 3: I don't mean it like that like like there's nobody
- 1:02:26Speaker 3: I'll bring out. I mean as far as who I
- 1:02:28Speaker 3: would bring back, it would not be one person. I
- 1:02:32Speaker 3: would bring back three people if it was up to me,
- 1:02:39Speaker 3: and that would be I bring back the hurt business.
- 1:02:44Speaker 3: But I'd bring I'm bringing back m VP, Bobby Lashley
- 1:02:47Speaker 3: and Shelton Benjamin.
- 1:02:50Speaker 4: Giving them the.
- 1:02:50Speaker 3: Proper run and giving them the proper run in front
- 1:02:54Speaker 3: of a crowd that they should have gotten. Although I
- 1:02:57Speaker 3: know that will never happen now, especially given how MVP
- 1:03:00Speaker 3: has spoken about Triple H and how much they didn't
- 1:03:03Speaker 3: give along. But I would bring those three back, and
- 1:03:08Speaker 3: the three of that I would let go are the
- 1:03:10Speaker 3: three motherfuckers from the Y six that are already gone.
- 1:03:15Speaker 3: So ww already did half my job for we letting
- 1:03:18Speaker 3: go of the Y six. I'll do a clean trade
- 1:03:22Speaker 3: swap for them, hurt business for the for the Wired six.
- 1:03:29Speaker 2: Yeah, what about what about females? What's female? Would you
- 1:03:32Speaker 2: with your fire and what's going with you bring back? Uh?
- 1:03:43Speaker 4: See?
- 1:03:44Speaker 3: Bringing bringing a woman back implies that she was already
- 1:03:48Speaker 3: with the company and then was let go, So.
- 1:03:57Speaker 4: I don't.
- 1:04:01Speaker 3: I mean in the immediate my answer would be Kyrie
- 1:04:03Speaker 3: saying because obvious reasons, but setting her aside, and again
- 1:04:10Speaker 3: one for one already let go and Niki Cross bring
- 1:04:12Speaker 3: me back, Kyrie saying, but setting setting Nikki setting Kyrie
- 1:04:19Speaker 3: saying aside, if we're going with somebody else that's long
- 1:04:23Speaker 3: since released, that I would bring back, uh.
- 1:04:37Speaker 2: Dead silence. I love it.
- 1:04:40Speaker 4: No, I'm still thinking.
- 1:04:44Speaker 3: At first, I thought about Dakota Kai, but then I
- 1:04:47Speaker 3: said no to her because she had trouble staying healthy.
- 1:04:51Speaker 3: She was often injured, so I would kind of be
- 1:04:55Speaker 3: reluctant to bring her back. I thought about SHANEA. Basler
- 1:04:59Speaker 3: because she had really strong running NXT that and she
- 1:05:02Speaker 3: never got as good of a running on the main roster.
- 1:05:07Speaker 3: But I feel like her work on the main roster
- 1:05:10Speaker 3: kind of left something to be desired. So even if
- 1:05:15Speaker 3: I thought she kind of had something potentially going towards
- 1:05:17Speaker 3: the end against Ronda Rousey, the match herself was so
- 1:05:21Speaker 3: terrible that I just lost all faith in that.
- 1:05:23Speaker 4: So I like Shana Basler.
- 1:05:25Speaker 3: I maybe would give her another chance, But if I
- 1:05:30Speaker 3: were Triple H, I would have to see something from
- 1:05:33Speaker 3: her on like an independent scene or something like that
- 1:05:36Speaker 3: to show me, to show some signs of better work.
- 1:05:39Speaker 4: Before I would consider bringing her back. If I were
- 1:05:41Speaker 4: in you know, Triple H's shoes.
- 1:05:46Speaker 3: I think probably for me the best candidate I mean,
- 1:05:50Speaker 3: I mean, Mandy Rose could try to bring her back,
- 1:05:52Speaker 3: but she making too much money on OnlyFans, so that's
- 1:05:54Speaker 3: never gonna happen, I would probably bring back Zile Lee,
- 1:06:00Speaker 3: who now wrestles in TNA under the name lay and
- 1:06:04Speaker 3: Lee or Lee and La something like that. She's done
- 1:06:10Speaker 3: good work in TNA. She even became their knockouts champion
- 1:06:15Speaker 3: for a while earned and got to deal with them.
- 1:06:20Speaker 3: And I feel like she never really got a good
- 1:06:22Speaker 3: run on the main roster like she could have. She's
- 1:06:26Speaker 3: never been a bad worker, she's always been a good worker,
- 1:06:29Speaker 3: got an incredible look. I would probably bring her back
- 1:06:33Speaker 3: and give her another chance. And as far as who
- 1:06:39Speaker 3: I would let go that hasn't al If I'm picking
- 1:06:43Speaker 3: somebody who hasn't already or hasn't just been let go,
- 1:06:46Speaker 3: I'm picking somebody else.
- 1:06:48Speaker 4: To let go of.
- 1:07:01Speaker 3: That would be more difficult because I don't know that
- 1:07:04Speaker 3: I don't really know that there's an active women's wrestler
- 1:07:07Speaker 3: on the main roster right now that I oh, ship, No,
- 1:07:11Speaker 3: keep the fucking bellows up out.
- 1:07:12Speaker 5: Of here, man, you just do one special.
- 1:07:21Speaker 4: Two for one Piper Niven, But no, I like, huge, huge.
- 1:07:28Speaker 2: Fan of Maxine Dupre's fucking gimmick right now, just fucking
- 1:07:32Speaker 2: back with Alpha, you know, huge fan of Vitalia. Are
- 1:07:36Speaker 2: you want to keep her around for another decade. Huh, huge, I.
- 1:07:41Speaker 4: Will one Maxine Dupris. Yes, I'm a fan of her.
- 1:07:46Speaker 4: I am a fan of her.
- 1:07:49Speaker 3: I blame Creative for not doing anything with her from
- 1:07:51Speaker 3: the Natty thing and they blowing that whole storyline. Which
- 1:07:55Speaker 3: side note, Apparently now they're about to pair Natty up
- 1:07:58Speaker 3: with Jada Parker, and god, I hope they get it
- 1:08:01Speaker 3: right with Jada and actually build up something with her,
- 1:08:04Speaker 3: because they've been playing the Jada Parker face for way
- 1:08:06Speaker 3: too damn long. She's one of the best talkers in
- 1:08:10Speaker 3: w w E as far as women go. I ain't
- 1:08:13Speaker 3: saying best talkers in NXT. I ain't saying, you know,
- 1:08:17Speaker 3: best talker among women. She one of the best talkers
- 1:08:20Speaker 3: in w w E. Her ringwork needs some still need
- 1:08:24Speaker 3: some more improvement. She does need more work there. But
- 1:08:28Speaker 3: on the mic, nah, she is. She made roster ready
- 1:08:33Speaker 3: right now, just off my her mic work. But they
- 1:08:37Speaker 3: got her paired up with Natty, so we'll see where
- 1:08:39Speaker 3: that goes.
- 1:08:40Speaker 5: Huge fan of.
- 1:08:42Speaker 3: And yeah, yeah, did you not see meech int WrestleMania?
- 1:08:50Speaker 3: You not see that beautiful looking snack at WrestleMania. Absolute
- 1:08:53Speaker 3: fucking Lily she's appreciated to me. She's a good workers.
- 1:09:00Speaker 3: She needs she deserves better.
- 1:09:02Speaker 2: Huge fan of Tamina. Are you Timina's still collecting paychecks
- 1:09:06Speaker 2: in WW, She's still on them.
- 1:09:08Speaker 4: I don't like count her no more exactly.
- 1:09:16Speaker 3: I don't know if that she if she is still
- 1:09:19Speaker 3: clocking a paycheck, it is a bare minimum paycheck. And
- 1:09:23Speaker 3: the Rock is probably insulating the ship out of her
- 1:09:25Speaker 3: because she's she said years ago that she is effectively retired.
- 1:09:31Speaker 4: She's not.
- 1:09:32Speaker 3: She's not somebody sitting on the sideline waiting for w
- 1:09:34Speaker 3: W to say, hey, come on in, We've got a
- 1:09:36Speaker 3: storyline for you know.
- 1:09:37Speaker 4: She just set herself that she is effectively retired.
- 1:09:40Speaker 2: Yeah cool, okay, So Tyler, let's get your inut. Who
- 1:09:48Speaker 2: you gotta you gotta fire one female, one male, and
- 1:09:51Speaker 2: bring back to.
- 1:09:53Speaker 5: Fire one female and bring back two females.
- 1:09:56Speaker 2: No fire one female, one male, fire one of each,
- 1:09:59Speaker 2: O bring back one of each and bring back one
- 1:10:02Speaker 2: of each.
- 1:10:03Speaker 7: So as far as women go, I would fire Natalia
- 1:10:07Speaker 7: because please just go. And I would bring back Tony Storm. Yeah,
- 1:10:14Speaker 7: I bring back Tony Storm.
- 1:10:15Speaker 2: I don't know that.
- 1:10:16Speaker 5: I do like the whole vintage Gammick whatever, she's doing
- 1:10:19Speaker 5: now with the Black and White.
- 1:10:20Speaker 7: I don't I don't know that I do that. But
- 1:10:24Speaker 7: Tony Storm, I think she'd be a good uh a
- 1:10:28Speaker 7: good fit for for the current women's roster, either in
- 1:10:32Speaker 7: a single run, as a singles run, or even tag team.
- 1:10:37Speaker 7: I could really see her doing one of either. Uh,
- 1:10:43Speaker 7: who knows, maybe like the double cross to get rid
- 1:10:47Speaker 7: of the bellas you know, Tony comes back and Page
- 1:10:50Speaker 7: and her team up and they do something who knows,
- 1:10:55Speaker 7: as far as men go, Kate Wilson, get rid of
- 1:10:59Speaker 7: Kate Wilson. Yeah, later, dude, and bring back.
- 1:11:08Speaker 2: You know what you know what you were just you know, Tyler,
- 1:11:15Speaker 2: you just you're toxic.
- 1:11:16Speaker 5: I'm toxic talking about dare you get rid of k
- 1:11:20Speaker 5: I'll still sleep soundly tonight, that's fine.
- 1:11:25Speaker 2: Uh.
- 1:11:26Speaker 5: And then jesus what I bring back though?
- 1:11:35Speaker 2: Mm hmm, I don't know, m hm hmm.
- 1:11:42Speaker 7: Dexter Loomis, Yeah, I think there's something there with him.
- 1:11:47Speaker 7: They could have been idea, they could have been been.
- 1:11:49Speaker 7: And I heard Joe Joey. Joe Gacy is really good
- 1:11:52Speaker 7: on the mic. I heard, you know, not once when
- 1:11:55Speaker 7: he was in the White sixty. Grab a microphone. You know,
- 1:11:59Speaker 7: I think they there's something with his I remember, like
- 1:12:02Speaker 7: back in his next two days and then him and
- 1:12:05Speaker 7: Indy Harror.
- 1:12:06Speaker 5: Is that it was your name? Yeah?
- 1:12:08Speaker 7: Yeah, Andy Andy Hartwell yeah, and then you have what
- 1:12:12Speaker 7: Joey Wrestling and Candice Larray you know that whole Yeah
- 1:12:18Speaker 7: faction thing they had going on like that was you know,
- 1:12:22Speaker 7: that's pretty cool.
- 1:12:23Speaker 2: All right, let's move along.
- 1:12:26Speaker 9: Let's get into the backlash predictions at Backlash. Yeah, Backlash,
- 1:12:35Speaker 9: Did I do it right? I don't know you did
- 1:12:38Speaker 9: it right?
- 1:12:39Speaker 2: Yeah? That's Roman Reigns. It's the entire post there for
- 1:12:45Speaker 2: this one. Yeah. Uh taking place in Tampa, Florida Benchmark
- 1:12:55Speaker 2: International Arena. Last paper for you was Wrestling forty two,
- 1:13:02Speaker 2: where Roman Reigns gained the World Heavyweight title from Sampunk.
- 1:13:06Speaker 2: The next pay review we have lined up is Saturday night,
- 1:13:09Speaker 2: I mean another Saturday night main event that's going to
- 1:13:12Speaker 2: be in Fort Wayne, Indiana, and then we are going
- 1:13:17Speaker 2: to uh Clash in Italy after that, so we get
- 1:13:22Speaker 2: some other stuff on the horizon clas Italy Clash and yeah,
- 1:13:27Speaker 2: I do like I do like those? Do you like that?
- 1:13:31Speaker 2: So that's gonna be nice?
- 1:13:35Speaker 5: Excuse me?
- 1:13:36Speaker 2: Yeah, only five matches. The only two title matches we
- 1:13:41Speaker 2: had the United States title, we got the World Heavyweight title,
- 1:13:44Speaker 2: no WW title, no intercontinental, no tag team titles, no
- 1:13:48Speaker 2: women's titles. Yet we can still get Area versus Jade
- 1:13:55Speaker 2: Cargo match I think could still be added, but we'll see. Uh.
- 1:14:02Speaker 3: I would highly doubt that, just given what they've been
- 1:14:06Speaker 3: doing since WrestleMania, which is having them involved with j C.
- 1:14:12Speaker 4: Jane and Fatal Attraction.
- 1:14:13Speaker 3: I mean, we haven't seen Jay Car Gill at all,
- 1:14:16Speaker 3: So I doubt that they're just gonna have Jade show
- 1:14:19Speaker 3: up on Friday and just make a match twenty four
- 1:14:22Speaker 3: hours later and I'll rematch. That's as bad as some
- 1:14:28Speaker 3: of their booking and storyteller has been. I don't think
- 1:14:30Speaker 3: they've I don't think we've worth we've we've gotten that
- 1:14:32Speaker 3: low yet.
- 1:14:34Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 1:14:36Speaker 2: Uh, alright, let's start with the first match we got
- 1:14:41Speaker 2: EO Sky versus OSCA. This is a storyline that has
- 1:14:48Speaker 2: been dating all the way back to Damage Control and
- 1:14:53Speaker 2: Oscar being abusive and manipulating Kyrie sceing uh uh, you know,
- 1:15:01Speaker 2: blaming her for every loss they had as the Kabuki Warriors,
- 1:15:04Speaker 2: you know, guilt tripping her, making her think she's the
- 1:15:06Speaker 2: reason why EO left them, you know, for Rhea. Ah.
- 1:15:11Speaker 2: So there was there was a really big payoff to
- 1:15:14Speaker 2: this storyline. You know, as we've previously mentioned that Kyrie
- 1:15:18Speaker 2: got let go. You know, it put a screeching halt
- 1:15:22Speaker 2: to this momentum. That was what was going on with
- 1:15:24Speaker 2: the storyline that we all wanted to see payoff, you
- 1:15:28Speaker 2: know for a long time. You know, some of us
- 1:15:31Speaker 2: believed this should have been paid off at WrestleMania. You know,
- 1:15:35Speaker 2: if they would have paid it off at Media and
- 1:15:37Speaker 2: then let go Kyrie may have been a little bit better,
- 1:15:41Speaker 2: you know, a better decision to finish up that storyline.
- 1:15:44Speaker 2: What better place had done it at Mania? But no, no, uh.
- 1:15:52Speaker 2: You know, I think a lot of these promos have
- 1:15:56Speaker 2: been pretty well, even though you know, I know sometimes
- 1:15:59Speaker 2: it's hard to understand EO and and Oscar with their
- 1:16:04Speaker 2: accents during promos, but I think it went pretty well.
- 1:16:08Speaker 2: The last one they did, they were just in a
- 1:16:12Speaker 2: room talking together and yo, uh, you know, cut Her
- 1:16:19Speaker 2: is cutting her promo and talking about how she's ready
- 1:16:21Speaker 2: for Oscar, and then she leans in like real close,
- 1:16:24Speaker 2: and then Oscar just like spits tons of blue in
- 1:16:27Speaker 2: her fucking face and you got Adam Pierce. We need
- 1:16:30Speaker 2: a wet a bad ack. Uh. So I assume we'll
- 1:16:37Speaker 2: see an attempt of the the Mist again, but this
- 1:16:44Speaker 2: time I think she'll miss and I think, uh, Carrie
- 1:16:48Speaker 2: is going to beat her SEMPI Carrie okay or not Carrie,
- 1:16:53Speaker 2: he is gonna beat her SEMPI. Uh, I think it's
- 1:16:58Speaker 2: gonna be really good. I think it's hell of a match.
- 1:17:00Speaker 2: I think it's it's going to probably be in the middle.
- 1:17:04Speaker 2: I don't think it's going to open the show, but
- 1:17:09Speaker 2: I think it's maybe a good quality match. Hopefully we
- 1:17:11Speaker 2: get a clean win and then maybe this feud is
- 1:17:16Speaker 2: is finally done and they can go their separate ways.
- 1:17:21Speaker 2: Hopefully it is awkward, you know at awkward? What happened
- 1:17:27Speaker 2: to that other girl who's with you? What other girls?
- 1:17:30Speaker 5: She vanished?
- 1:17:32Speaker 2: Yeah? So I see uh Oscar taking the pen.
- 1:17:36Speaker 5: Here the tornado didn swallowed her up?
- 1:17:39Speaker 2: You know, So, Jay, who are you think it's gonna
- 1:17:42Speaker 2: come out on top of this match? Yeah?
- 1:17:47Speaker 3: I pretty much feel the same that EO is probably
- 1:17:50Speaker 3: gonna come out on top in this match. Again, they
- 1:17:55Speaker 3: their decisions have more or less ruined the storyline the
- 1:17:59Speaker 3: only so one positive thing I'm going to I'm still
- 1:18:02Speaker 3: going into this match hopeful for is that EO and
- 1:18:06Speaker 3: Oscar are such good wrestlers that this match itself excuse me,
- 1:18:11Speaker 3: that this match can potentially steal the show.
- 1:18:14Speaker 4: And that's what I'm hoping for.
- 1:18:15Speaker 3: I'm hoping that at the very least, they give these
- 1:18:18Speaker 3: women enough time to cook to put on a really
- 1:18:22Speaker 3: good match. If this is like a sub ten minute match,
- 1:18:26Speaker 3: they will have robbed us even more than they already have.
- 1:18:31Speaker 3: They need to give these They should give these women
- 1:18:33Speaker 3: at least fifteen minutes to work with so that they
- 1:18:37Speaker 3: can put on the quality of a match that we
- 1:18:39Speaker 3: know they're capable of. If they give them that, this
- 1:18:43Speaker 3: match has has match of the night potential. It's got
- 1:18:48Speaker 3: show stealing potential. But other than that, I do think
- 1:18:51Speaker 3: EO's gonna take it, is gonna come out on top victorious.
- 1:18:59Speaker 2: All right here, I.
- 1:19:04Speaker 5: Agree, I think yes, guy wins.
- 1:19:08Speaker 2: Uh.
- 1:19:11Speaker 7: How it's played out is sad and heartbreaking, and you know,
- 1:19:16Speaker 7: not how you want to see a conclusion come about
- 1:19:19Speaker 7: a storyline that they've put enough time into to make
- 1:19:25Speaker 7: it hurt when something like that happens. So you see
- 1:19:32Speaker 7: Oscar winning or I'm sorry, yes guy win in see
- 1:19:36Speaker 7: where they go after that, to go their several ways
- 1:19:38Speaker 7: and what comes with the two in their journeys.
- 1:19:46Speaker 2: Yeah, man, we'll see where this goes. We'll see if
- 1:19:50Speaker 2: there's any uh poison mist involved or not, or maybe
- 1:19:55Speaker 2: this will be a poison missed less a match. So uh,
- 1:20:00Speaker 2: all right, moving right along here, Which one do I
- 1:20:06Speaker 2: want to cover next? Oh? Uh, Trick Williams with Little
- 1:20:14Speaker 2: Yachty versus Sammy Zing for the United States Championship. It's
- 1:20:23Speaker 2: kind of weird because that this is match is on
- 1:20:26Speaker 2: the card only. I only say this because the United
- 1:20:31Speaker 2: States Title used to be something that was just up
- 1:20:35Speaker 2: for grabs, not up for grabs, but like there would
- 1:20:37Speaker 2: be title matches on SmackDown for it, and then that
- 1:20:40Speaker 2: would suffice it enough to not have to be on
- 1:20:44Speaker 2: pl and we had room for a you know, inno
- 1:20:49Speaker 2: match or tag title match, but uh, they said that's
- 1:20:54Speaker 2: kind of over with. When it came to to Trick Williams,
- 1:20:57Speaker 2: he's they're not doing the United States Open Challenge match,
- 1:21:01Speaker 2: so but we got another version of that anyway.
- 1:21:06Speaker 5: Uh So.
- 1:21:11Speaker 2: This feud has turned corny as shit. I'm just gonna
- 1:21:14Speaker 2: say it. We had the this gingerbread Man thing. It's
- 1:21:20Speaker 2: not working for me. Man, Like, what are they doing
- 1:21:23Speaker 2: with Trick Williams. He like ran out to the aid
- 1:21:27Speaker 2: of Sam's name, beating the crap out of a dummy
- 1:21:31Speaker 2: gingerbread costume and he ran out to the aid of it,
- 1:21:34Speaker 2: and and then Trick Williams they're backstage and they're like,
- 1:21:38Speaker 2: we need a medic and just it was just the
- 1:21:42Speaker 2: whole thing is just cheesy. Man. I I would love
- 1:21:46Speaker 2: if they would just move on from this shit. I don't,
- 1:21:54Speaker 2: I don't, I don't know. I don't know. I expect
- 1:21:58Speaker 2: way more from Trick Williams being a mid card to
- 1:22:04Speaker 2: main event seeing you know, you know, the Unitedy title
- 1:22:08Speaker 2: is a big deal.
- 1:22:09Speaker 4: I don't.
- 1:22:10Speaker 2: I don't like it being made of a joke like
- 1:22:11Speaker 2: this the gingerbread Man. So hopefully it dies here and
- 1:22:16Speaker 2: that's it. More gingerbread man nonsense we got. I don't
- 1:22:21Speaker 2: know if the Trick's gonna beat him straight or we're
- 1:22:27Speaker 2: gonna have some Shenatikins with Little YACHTI helping, which is
- 1:22:32Speaker 2: my assumption. He doesn't need it, that's right. I don't
- 1:22:36Speaker 2: think he needs it. I don't think he needs the assistance.
- 1:22:39Speaker 2: I think he'd be Sammy Zaane perfectly fine. But we'll
- 1:22:43Speaker 2: probably have some sort of assistance. Maybe he'll like throw
- 1:22:46Speaker 2: maybe little Yadi will throw like a handful of like
- 1:22:48Speaker 2: cinnamon from the gingerbread Man, just like throw it in
- 1:22:51Speaker 2: Samy's face, Like, oh no, he's been blinded by cinnamon.
- 1:22:56Speaker 2: Did you see that coal? A handful a cinnamon? So
- 1:23:03Speaker 2: you met him with a huge candy cane? Like, yeah, Trey,
- 1:23:09Speaker 2: what's say? Man? What do you do? You agree with me? Yeah?
- 1:23:14Speaker 2: I think I'm sorry. I think Trick Williams is going
- 1:23:17Speaker 2: to retain. I just think it's obvious we're gonna Trick
- 1:23:19Speaker 2: is going to retain and move on for this feud.
- 1:23:22Speaker 2: I think Sammy's got some other ship to deal with
- 1:23:24Speaker 2: in another feud.
- 1:23:31Speaker 3: The gingerbread man thing may have gotten a little bit silly,
- 1:23:34Speaker 3: but I still don't have any issue with it. I mean,
- 1:23:37Speaker 3: Trick Williams is the one who introduced it, as you know,
- 1:23:40Speaker 3: obviously calling samuse ay the gingerbread Man, making him, you know,
- 1:23:44Speaker 3: play on him being a ginger or being redhead. You know,
- 1:23:48Speaker 3: Sammy's ain't feeling some type of way about it. Remember
- 1:23:51Speaker 3: Sammy z Ain is the one who came out with
- 1:23:53Speaker 3: the gingerbread uh, with the inanimate gingerbread man, and started
- 1:23:59Speaker 3: beating this crap out of it.
- 1:24:00Speaker 4: That wouldn't Trick Williams.
- 1:24:01Speaker 2: I did.
- 1:24:03Speaker 3: And remember Sammy's ain't attacked Trick Williams last the week before,
- 1:24:08Speaker 3: So Trick was right to come back there and get
- 1:24:10Speaker 3: his look back on on Sammy's at Now we'll see
- 1:24:15Speaker 3: what happens this Friday with this you know, funeral for
- 1:24:20Speaker 3: the gingerbread Man. Now, this is where the gimmick could
- 1:24:23Speaker 3: really jump the shark and just become ridiculous.
- 1:24:25Speaker 4: But so far, yeah, I mean it could.
- 1:24:30Speaker 3: We'll see how it plays out. Like I said, so far,
- 1:24:32Speaker 3: I haven't. I don't think it's jumped the shark yet.
- 1:24:35Speaker 3: I give I think Trick Williams, even to a certain extent,
- 1:24:38Speaker 3: realizes how silly it is. Because when they did the
- 1:24:41Speaker 3: whole thing backstage where he was checking on it or
- 1:24:44Speaker 3: he was trying to, you know, treat like a real thing,
- 1:24:47Speaker 3: and the guy came back and you know, to the
- 1:24:50Speaker 3: he's gone. You could almost kind of see Trick while
- 1:24:53Speaker 3: he was talking at that point, like almost start to
- 1:24:55Speaker 3: laugh a little bit, almost start to break character a bit,
- 1:24:58Speaker 3: but he held it together, So I give Trick props
- 1:25:01Speaker 3: for that. You know, he's playing as straight as best
- 1:25:03Speaker 3: he can. It is a little bit silly, but it's entertaining,
- 1:25:07Speaker 3: so I'm willing to roll with it. And we'll see,
- 1:25:11Speaker 3: he said, we'll see how this funeral thing goes Friday.
- 1:25:15Speaker 3: Either way, I'm entertained by it, so I'm okay with
- 1:25:17Speaker 3: it as far as the match goes.
- 1:25:19Speaker 4: Yes, of course, Trick Williams is gonna win.
- 1:25:23Speaker 2: Well, I'll make sure you dress all in black this
- 1:25:25Speaker 2: Friday for the funeral of the gingerbread Man.
- 1:25:28Speaker 4: Exactly, Tyler.
- 1:25:32Speaker 2: I mean, let's let's hear it.
- 1:25:34Speaker 7: Man. Does this does this not feel like some Vince
- 1:25:37Speaker 7: Vince level shenanigans, like, you know, classic old school like
- 1:25:43Speaker 7: a gingerbread Man?
- 1:25:44Speaker 2: No, great, it's not even Christmas.
- 1:25:51Speaker 5: Yeah, Like I just I don't know. It just feels
- 1:25:54Speaker 5: like something from back then. I just feels something that corny,
- 1:25:57Speaker 5: you know what.
- 1:25:58Speaker 2: I mean, feels vincey.
- 1:25:59Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah, it's got, it's got, it's got the strong
- 1:26:01Speaker 5: taste of on it. I mean, obviously Trick wins.
- 1:26:10Speaker 2: I think.
- 1:26:13Speaker 7: He's too over right now, and I don't see them
- 1:26:15Speaker 7: squashing it for anything. Sammy's in I guess he's on
- 1:26:20Speaker 7: a few running whatever the hell comes with that.
- 1:26:23Speaker 5: You know, I can see a lot of my time
- 1:26:26Speaker 5: which I'm not really looking forward.
- 1:26:28Speaker 4: To, just you know, work.
- 1:26:32Speaker 5: That's it. Other than that. Yeah, trick wins.
- 1:26:38Speaker 2: Cool, good, very good, very very good. I think we're
- 1:26:44Speaker 2: all on the same piece so far. Uh all right,
- 1:26:48Speaker 2: let's talk about this Dan Housen and to be determined
- 1:26:52Speaker 2: versus miss and Kit Wilson. So Dan Housen has a
- 1:26:57Speaker 2: mystery tag partner. No, people are like, oh, it's obviously
- 1:27:03Speaker 2: John Cena because he's there as the host. No, no, no,
- 1:27:07Speaker 2: it's not happening. I could see him doing whatever bit
- 1:27:14Speaker 2: Johnston's gonna do, and then they kind of uh segue
- 1:27:19Speaker 2: into that match. But it's not gonna involve JOHNSENA. You
- 1:27:22Speaker 2: might they might think it's gonna be John Cena. Oh
- 1:27:25Speaker 2: he's gonna choose JOHNSONA And maybe Johnson is like, oh,
- 1:27:28Speaker 2: I might do it. He's about to take off his
- 1:27:30Speaker 2: shirt or he's gonna unbutton it, and all of a sudden,
- 1:27:32Speaker 2: like the music of the actual wrestler, No I got this.
- 1:27:38Speaker 2: I'm my guess, is either gonna be who who obviously
- 1:27:41Speaker 2: you're gonna put on the card. Who's not in the card?
- 1:27:43Speaker 2: You're either gonna put Cody Roads. Are you gonna put
- 1:27:47Speaker 2: Sampunk former a w wrestler Cody Roads or Sampunk former
- 1:27:55Speaker 2: friends of Dan Housen, Cody Roads or Sampunk? Uh? I know?
- 1:28:02Speaker 2: Or I could be completely wrong. It could be like
- 1:28:04Speaker 2: our Truth or the Boogeyman, somebody stupid. I don't know, so, Uh, Dre,
- 1:28:14Speaker 2: who do you think it is? Who do you think
- 1:28:17Speaker 2: they're brand to be? His? Dan Housen's type?
- 1:28:19Speaker 4: Priner?
- 1:28:20Speaker 2: Hell, at this fucking point, it could be Doyle because
- 1:28:22Speaker 2: he's not even here.
- 1:28:26Speaker 3: I have no idea and I haven't even bothered to
- 1:28:30Speaker 3: try to speculate on who it could possibly be. I'm
- 1:28:35Speaker 3: just gonna go in blind and let them surprise me.
- 1:28:38Speaker 3: I think that's kind of the best way to approach this, because,
- 1:28:43Speaker 3: as you said, it could be anybody. I don't think
- 1:28:51Speaker 3: it's John c in it, because again, he's retired as
- 1:28:54Speaker 3: he has stated, so I'm not going with the John
- 1:28:58Speaker 3: Cyon a possibility. So but outside of that, it could
- 1:29:02Speaker 3: be anybody. And I'm just gonna go and blind and
- 1:29:06Speaker 3: we'll see what they do. And whoever they pick is
- 1:29:14Speaker 3: obviously going they're going to win because they're not gonna stomp,
- 1:29:19Speaker 3: They're not gonna kill it. Dan Houses the momentum, and
- 1:29:22Speaker 3: Kid Wilson has clearly shown that he will lose to
- 1:29:26Speaker 3: literally anyone.
- 1:29:28Speaker 4: So we'll see who it is. Yeah, I think I
- 1:29:34Speaker 4: think the the surprise, the potential surprise to me is
- 1:29:38Speaker 4: more interesting than anything else. So that's how I'm looking
- 1:29:42Speaker 4: at it.
- 1:29:44Speaker 2: Uh Tyler, Yes, let's say it, hm M Hill Mary, Uh,
- 1:29:55Speaker 2: Kevin Owens? Why not this guy? I'm about to boot
- 1:29:59Speaker 2: you off the damn show, you know.
- 1:30:01Speaker 5: What, just for that yourself, fuck yourself, you.
- 1:30:10Speaker 2: Deserve.
- 1:30:10Speaker 4: I'm that.
- 1:30:11Speaker 5: I'm not sure which one was more emphatic, Maybe the
- 1:30:15Speaker 5: second one or perhaps the first one. I feel like
- 1:30:21Speaker 5: it's the second one.
- 1:30:23Speaker 4: You know what.
- 1:30:24Speaker 2: I think you believe Kevin coming back so hard that
- 1:30:27Speaker 2: when he actually does come back, you're not gonna it's
- 1:30:30Speaker 2: not real.
- 1:30:31Speaker 6: No, No, I'll be sitting here like you know what,
- 1:30:35Speaker 6: I called it, just like I did Randy Orton. I'm
- 1:30:39Speaker 6: not letting it go, not letting it go, not letting
- 1:30:43Speaker 6: it go.
- 1:30:44Speaker 5: So I'll throw my hal Mary, I'll say Kevin Owens,
- 1:30:47Speaker 5: and I'll rest with it. Whatever happens happens. M got it.
- 1:30:57Speaker 4: All right. M.
- 1:31:00Speaker 2: So, so who do you think is gonna be? Mm hmmm,
- 1:31:10Speaker 2: who do I think is gonna be? Attack barn?
- 1:31:12Speaker 5: Yeah, I said Kevin Owens.
- 1:31:13Speaker 2: Okay, you're really going yeah, I'm really going with that.
- 1:31:16Speaker 5: I'm really sticking with that.
- 1:31:17Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, you know what.
- 1:31:21Speaker 5: For real heart attack?
- 1:31:22Speaker 2: You know how they have like you can bet now
- 1:31:24Speaker 2: on w W gamble. I would not if I were you.
- 1:31:29Speaker 2: Save your save your money, save your money. Don't don't
- 1:31:34Speaker 2: be gambling.
- 1:31:36Speaker 10: Oh jesus, you know what this guy, Kevin Owens, I
- 1:31:45Speaker 10: told you, what told you?
- 1:31:51Speaker 2: He's like, oh, fucking told you.
- 1:31:54Speaker 5: I'm gonna throwing a party.
- 1:31:56Speaker 2: Yeah, I fucking bet you will be all by yourself.
- 1:32:01Speaker 2: You're gonna be donating, You're gonna be realizing you were
- 1:32:03Speaker 2: staring at the wall because you're hallucinating. All right, We
- 1:32:09Speaker 2: got two matches left. Uh possibly, Like there's only two
- 1:32:13Speaker 2: that are very no. I don't the two that have well,
- 1:32:19Speaker 2: at least one of these nah, I don't even fucking know.
- 1:32:22Speaker 2: I think one of these it has the best bill
- 1:32:24Speaker 2: that the other one is kind of very predictable. Uh,
- 1:32:29Speaker 2: seth Ronalds versus Brown Breaker with Paul Hayman singles match.
- 1:32:34Speaker 2: This is the match we've kind of all been waiting for.
- 1:32:36Speaker 2: This is the match that should happen a while ago,
- 1:32:39Speaker 2: should happen at Mania, couldn't happen at Mania. Uh, but
- 1:32:44Speaker 2: we're getting in now. I hope this isn't a one off.
- 1:32:50Speaker 2: I hope this is something we get another two matches
- 1:32:53Speaker 2: out of. I see, uh Braun Breaker actually getting the
- 1:33:02Speaker 2: first win in this feud. I see this being a
- 1:33:06Speaker 2: very similar feud that he's had with like I don't know,
- 1:33:11Speaker 2: maybe like Punk and Drew McIntyre. It's gonna be one
- 1:33:14Speaker 2: of his big adversaries. You know, maybe we might even
- 1:33:18Speaker 2: take this into a Hell and a Cell at some
- 1:33:20Speaker 2: point between these two. I mean, come on, man, I
- 1:33:24Speaker 2: could totally see a Hell and saw the Master these two.
- 1:33:32Speaker 2: It's gonna be fire. I mean, look look at the
- 1:33:39Speaker 2: the the adrenaline that has been shown by Braun, you know,
- 1:33:43Speaker 2: the momentum this week he came in, which, by the way,
- 1:33:47Speaker 2: I want to mention, when I was watching Rall this week,
- 1:33:49Speaker 2: I had to check because I thought I was watching
- 1:33:51Speaker 2: Rall from last week. You know, we were getting very
- 1:33:55Speaker 2: similar shit, except this time. You know, when the vision
- 1:33:59Speaker 2: was in check by the Street Profits, bron Breaker came
- 1:34:02Speaker 2: out and wrecked the Street Profits before Seth Ronalds came out.
- 1:34:07Speaker 2: Uh pressive as shit. Man, I'm excited to see this.
- 1:34:13Speaker 2: Uh but for sure, for sure we're getting bron Breaker
- 1:34:18Speaker 2: winning this first match out of this feudh and and yeah,
- 1:34:24Speaker 2: you could definitely say there's gonna be interference. I believe
- 1:34:28Speaker 2: it as much as you don't want it. It's gonna happen.
- 1:34:31Speaker 2: Whether it's from Paul, whether it's from Logan Paul, whether
- 1:34:35Speaker 2: it's from Austin theory, somebody's interfering, whether it's Bronson Reed
- 1:34:40Speaker 2: coming back. Who knows, But I think Bron's going over
- 1:34:47Speaker 2: one two, three spears, ass and a half, uh dre
- 1:34:54Speaker 2: what's say you?
- 1:34:56Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm in agreement that bron Breaker will likely win
- 1:35:01Speaker 3: this match because you know, he's the one that needs
- 1:35:04Speaker 3: to proach him needs the elevation more so than Seth.
- 1:35:09Speaker 3: Seth Rawlins kind of got his little bit of a revenge,
- 1:35:12Speaker 3: I guess when he first returned and was attacking him.
- 1:35:16Speaker 4: So the fact that this is continuing.
- 1:35:21Speaker 3: Since then obviously means that it's now time for Seth
- 1:35:25Speaker 3: to take the l in order to elevate and re
- 1:35:28Speaker 3: establish brown Breaker as a top contender. The match yourself,
- 1:35:35Speaker 3: I think the match will be okay. I don't think
- 1:35:39Speaker 3: it'll be a bad match by any means, but because
- 1:35:43Speaker 3: Seth is if nothing else, Seth has shown he can
- 1:35:45Speaker 3: pull a good match out of any damn body.
- 1:35:48Speaker 2: So so.
- 1:35:52Speaker 3: Do I think it could be match of the night
- 1:35:53Speaker 3: or does it have that show stealing potential to it?
- 1:35:56Speaker 3: I don't, I'm not. I don't quite think all that,
- 1:36:00Speaker 3: but it will be a good match with like I said,
- 1:36:04Speaker 3: broad Breaker coming out on top.
- 1:36:10Speaker 2: Mm hm cool, cool, all right, what say you, Tyler?
- 1:36:18Speaker 5: Hmmmmmm.
- 1:36:21Speaker 7: I'd like to say, Seth, I'd like to say, I
- 1:36:24Speaker 7: think that the Architect pulls out a win because he's
- 1:36:28Speaker 7: been getting like shorthanded a lot. But I know it
- 1:36:34Speaker 7: doesn't make sense. I don't know, Bromo probably win.
- 1:36:48Speaker 5: In my heart, I wanted to set to win, but
- 1:36:49Speaker 5: in reality, I know Bromo probably win.
- 1:36:53Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:36:55Speaker 2: No, that's pretty pretty civil decision. I mean, as Seth
- 1:37:01Speaker 2: can take the loss, and it sucks because Seth is
- 1:37:04Speaker 2: taking back to back losses here. Yeah, but it's weird
- 1:37:08Speaker 2: even though he has he can still take it. And
- 1:37:11Speaker 2: you know what I mean, like he's that kind of
- 1:37:14Speaker 2: level of a superstar where he can put somebody over
- 1:37:16Speaker 2: that he put Gundro over and he can put Braun over,
- 1:37:20Speaker 2: you know. But like give him the next win in
- 1:37:23Speaker 2: the feud, you know, and then maybe get Braun the
- 1:37:27Speaker 2: wind over the feud entirely, you know, beat the win,
- 1:37:30Speaker 2: win the war, just lose the battle. So uh yeah,
- 1:37:37Speaker 2: it should be exciting.
- 1:37:39Speaker 3: Uh.
- 1:37:40Speaker 2: Moving on main event, which I'm assuming is the main event,
- 1:37:44Speaker 2: Roman Reigns versus Jacob Fao for the World's Heavyweight Championship.
- 1:37:52Speaker 2: Uh yeah. Roman Reign's fresh off his win you know,
- 1:37:58Speaker 2: a punk at at WrestleMania. H There's so many positives,
- 1:38:05Speaker 2: h points that you could, you know, put on both
- 1:38:10Speaker 2: ends here. But I think at the end of the day,
- 1:38:16Speaker 2: I think Roman's gonna walk away. I think it's just
- 1:38:18Speaker 2: way too soon for them to just take the strap
- 1:38:21Speaker 2: off Roman. I think Roman's gonna hold it all summer.
- 1:38:26Speaker 2: He could. I can see him losing that summer Slim.
- 1:38:28Speaker 2: I don't know who to yet, but it's not gonna
- 1:38:31Speaker 2: be Jacob. I've been just not feeling this like feud.
- 1:38:38Speaker 2: It's it's Jacob who is just every week it's just
- 1:38:43Speaker 2: the same thing. I want more money, I want this,
- 1:38:45Speaker 2: I want that, you know, I want what you have.
- 1:38:48Speaker 2: I want bigger cars, I want a bigger house, you know,
- 1:38:51Speaker 2: I want I take my kid to better schools. Like
- 1:38:53Speaker 2: it's the same ship every week. Some wrestlers to me,
- 1:38:56Speaker 2: like when they spit the same promo every week, it
- 1:38:59Speaker 2: kind of loses its you know, delivery, its power. A. J.
- 1:39:04Speaker 2: Lee was one of those people. You know, I'm your
- 1:39:09Speaker 2: favorite wrestler, wrestler, you know, or something like that. You
- 1:39:12Speaker 2: just repeat yourself during the feud and just every week.
- 1:39:16Speaker 2: Just that's the kind of bullshit that would be thrown
- 1:39:19Speaker 2: up at us, and I just I don't know, I
- 1:39:20Speaker 2: just can't hop on board with that. And you know,
- 1:39:24Speaker 2: Roman got his ass handed to him last week, and
- 1:39:26Speaker 2: then this week he decided to do is just sit
- 1:39:29Speaker 2: with the man, face to face. No punch is thrown
- 1:39:33Speaker 2: right away, you know, just so chill and calm after
- 1:39:36Speaker 2: this man just beat your ass last week, you know
- 1:39:39Speaker 2: what I mean? Yeah, yeah, there you go. I think
- 1:39:51Speaker 2: it's gonna be a pretty good match, But I don't
- 1:39:53Speaker 2: think promo wise, I have not been feeling the chemistry,
- 1:39:57Speaker 2: which is kind of weird because you think you would.
- 1:40:01Speaker 2: But I just it's just hard for me to believe
- 1:40:06Speaker 2: whoever they put in front of Roman the next few
- 1:40:08Speaker 2: p l's that's gonna be the guy that beat him, Like, oh,
- 1:40:12Speaker 2: he's definitely the man. Uh you know, I could see, well,
- 1:40:18Speaker 2: we'll talk about it after this match. Who we can
- 1:40:20Speaker 2: see Potentially I see at some point Ova maybe this summer,
- 1:40:27Speaker 2: challenging for the world title, maybe not winning, but he's
- 1:40:29Speaker 2: somebody who's believable who could beat Roman. I would be like, oh,
- 1:40:35Speaker 2: you know what, maybe this is the fucking guy and
- 1:40:37Speaker 2: he'd beat Brock.
- 1:40:39Speaker 4: You know, but.
- 1:40:43Speaker 2: Look, I think we'll get Ova. We'll talk about Ova
- 1:40:45Speaker 2: a little bit after this match. Uh, Dre, who do
- 1:40:48Speaker 2: you think is gonna walk out with the world heavyweight title.
- 1:40:52Speaker 2: I think it's gonna be Roman, Roman.
- 1:40:55Speaker 4: Roman.
- 1:40:56Speaker 3: But yeah, But for the record, I brought up Oba
- 1:40:58Speaker 3: versus Roman months ago, well after WrestleMania, I brought that up.
- 1:41:03Speaker 3: I still think Roman is gonna Roman's gonna win this
- 1:41:06Speaker 3: match and he's gonna keep the title.
- 1:41:08Speaker 4: And I'm still sticking with the.
- 1:41:09Speaker 3: Same prediction that I made to get a while back
- 1:41:14Speaker 3: that Roman holds the title to a Summer Slam and
- 1:41:17Speaker 3: where he faces over with Emy at Summer Slam and I.
- 1:41:22Speaker 4: Think he loses. Excuse me, I think he loses it.
- 1:41:26Speaker 3: Then this isn't going to be, you know, a thirteen
- 1:41:31Speaker 3: hundred day or a thousand day run with the title
- 1:41:35Speaker 3: like he had before, unless TKO gets involved and does
- 1:41:38Speaker 3: some stupid shit and forces their hand, like no, keep
- 1:41:41Speaker 3: the title on Roman because he brings us dollars, so
- 1:41:44Speaker 3: we want Roman to state champion. That's the only way
- 1:41:47Speaker 3: I can see Roman having a lengthy run with the
- 1:41:50Speaker 3: world title this time around. I think he's I think
- 1:41:54Speaker 3: he's here for a brief while again to carry us
- 1:41:58Speaker 3: through the the what would be the typical post WrestleMania
- 1:42:02Speaker 3: at downtime where you know, shit gets real kind of
- 1:42:05Speaker 3: sucks and it gets weak until maybe around money in
- 1:42:08Speaker 3: the bank. We get a little bit of a pickup then,
- 1:42:11Speaker 3: but things don't really get interesting or ramp up till
- 1:42:13Speaker 3: the run up to Summer Slam. Usually how it's been.
- 1:42:16Speaker 3: I think Romans here to kind of stave off that
- 1:42:20Speaker 3: downtime that we typically see, that normal post WrestleMania drought,
- 1:42:26Speaker 3: which I think he's done. Okay, with So far, the
- 1:42:30Speaker 3: build up between him and Jacob Pot two hasn't been perfect.
- 1:42:33Speaker 4: No, I don't think it's been bad either.
- 1:42:36Speaker 3: I understand Jacob's motivations for coming out and saying like, Yo,
- 1:42:40Speaker 3: I'm taking my shot now. I see you guys at
- 1:42:42Speaker 3: the top, y'all doing this, y'all doing that, y'all running
- 1:42:46Speaker 3: these things. I'm more of the red headed step child.
- 1:42:48Speaker 3: You know, I'm the convicted Fela, the guy who did
- 1:42:52Speaker 3: the jail time, who's out here, and yeah, I'm starting
- 1:42:54Speaker 3: to make a name for myself in WWEE, but I
- 1:42:57Speaker 3: want more.
- 1:42:58Speaker 4: You know, if anything else I would knock before.
- 1:43:00Speaker 3: They could have maybe fleshed out his motivations a little
- 1:43:02Speaker 3: bit more, made it a little bit more, let him
- 1:43:06Speaker 3: articulated a little bit better. But I think he's done
- 1:43:09Speaker 3: a good, fairly decent job of doing that. And Roman
- 1:43:14Speaker 3: has basically played the top guy role of I get
- 1:43:18Speaker 3: where he's basically like, I get what you're talking about,
- 1:43:21Speaker 3: but you're not ready for this. Like that first exchange
- 1:43:23Speaker 3: that they had right on the raw after Wrestlemedia, I
- 1:43:25Speaker 3: thought was great. I thought Roman played that perfectly, like
- 1:43:29Speaker 3: you know, hey, you aiming for the top, You know
- 1:43:31Speaker 3: it's different up here. Are you ready for that or
- 1:43:33Speaker 3: are you ready to carry this weight? Where I think
- 1:43:37Speaker 3: they went where they kind of went wrong with it
- 1:43:41Speaker 3: is I think they made it a little too antagonistic.
- 1:43:45Speaker 3: It's like they felt like they had to make somebody
- 1:43:47Speaker 3: a good guy and somebody a bad guy. So they
- 1:43:50Speaker 3: had Jacob get hyper aggressive against Roman.
- 1:43:54Speaker 4: Oh, he's bringing back the Togan death gript. This this
- 1:43:56Speaker 4: move that's been passed down.
- 1:43:58Speaker 3: I was like, y'all, y'all don't have to create a
- 1:44:01Speaker 3: mythology around the talk in death Bird like it ain't
- 1:44:04Speaker 3: that serious. We don't need to do all that like
- 1:44:07Speaker 3: that that's doing too much. But like I said, I
- 1:44:09Speaker 3: also don't think Jacob had to be as aggressive. He
- 1:44:12Speaker 3: could be the hungry guy who's taking a shot without
- 1:44:17Speaker 3: doing being as extra as he's been right now. They
- 1:44:21Speaker 3: could have just played it as you know, like get
- 1:44:23Speaker 3: the guy playing taking a shot, and I think it
- 1:44:25Speaker 3: would have worked just fine, just because just off the
- 1:44:27Speaker 3: strength of it's Roman Reigns versus Jacob Patsu and that's
- 1:44:31Speaker 3: a match that people want to see. I think that
- 1:44:33Speaker 3: sells itself. That'sma only knock against the build up that
- 1:44:37Speaker 3: they've done so far. It's like they did too much
- 1:44:40Speaker 3: because they felt like they had a short window.
- 1:44:42Speaker 4: We have to hype this match up.
- 1:44:43Speaker 3: We only got three weeks, so we gotta do this
- 1:44:45Speaker 3: like you didn't have to work, you didn't have to
- 1:44:47Speaker 3: try this hard, basically, But either way, Roman's gonna come
- 1:44:52Speaker 3: out on top of predict he'll win the match. If anything,
- 1:44:57Speaker 3: we may get some sort of post match beat down
- 1:45:00Speaker 3: or something from Jacob Fatu to kind of write Roman
- 1:45:05Speaker 3: off television for the next month, because obviously, apparently in June,
- 1:45:09Speaker 3: that's when they're going on the European tour, So it
- 1:45:12Speaker 3: looks like Raw is gonna be from a bunch of
- 1:45:14Speaker 3: places in Europe all June, which would explain why Roman's
- 1:45:17Speaker 3: not gonna be there, because he probably doesn't want to
- 1:45:19Speaker 3: fucking go across Europe for a month and be away
- 1:45:22Speaker 3: from his family like that, so He's probably just said, yo, yeah,
- 1:45:27Speaker 3: I'm off. So they may have to find some way
- 1:45:29Speaker 3: to write them off TV. So uh well, no, we
- 1:45:33Speaker 3: still got the month of May, so it might not
- 1:45:36Speaker 3: happen yet. We'll slap something going on this month, but
- 1:45:40Speaker 3: at some point this month I could see him getting
- 1:45:42Speaker 3: written off TV, maybe through some sort of beat down.
- 1:45:45Speaker 4: So whether that's.
- 1:45:48Speaker 3: Via whoever his next opponent is, or whether this Roman
- 1:45:53Speaker 3: Jacob thing carries on past this show, we'll see.
- 1:46:00Speaker 2: M M yeah, uh, Tyler, let's here for you, buddy.
- 1:46:05Speaker 5: It would be it would be interesting to see that
- 1:46:07Speaker 5: play out. Like I mean that in and of itself,
- 1:46:10Speaker 5: could be a reason that Jacoba to wins. You know,
- 1:46:14Speaker 5: I guess the championship. Uh, he destroys Roman enough in
- 1:46:18Speaker 5: the in the match that Romans got to take a
- 1:46:20Speaker 5: step back, you know. I I do agree that maybe
- 1:46:24Speaker 5: he's not going to have Romans not going to have
- 1:46:27Speaker 5: a long title run. So maybe that's why he does,
- 1:46:30Speaker 5: like kind of what they do with Cooley Rhodes where
- 1:46:33Speaker 5: they they gave the title and then they took it
- 1:46:35Speaker 5: off of him and then he got it back like
- 1:46:37Speaker 5: what three four months five months later something like that,
- 1:46:40Speaker 5: you know, and then he has a little bit of
- 1:46:42Speaker 5: a run. Maybe they do that with it, geez.
- 1:46:48Speaker 7: I don't know though, all reason, all reasons, reasons and
- 1:46:55Speaker 7: resources would indicate.
- 1:46:57Speaker 5: Roman reigns, but screwistic with it. Yeah ruins. Ummm. That's
- 1:47:07Speaker 5: about it. That's all I have.
- 1:47:09Speaker 2: M all right, I want to talk about now that
- 1:47:14Speaker 2: we've wrapped up the PLA predictions about Ope, so we're
- 1:47:21Speaker 2: running dude, We're starting to run into the problem that
- 1:47:24Speaker 2: I mentioned before. And I was talking to Tyler about this.
- 1:47:29Speaker 2: But why I think he should have lost at Mania
- 1:47:32Speaker 2: because the man is at the top of the mountain
- 1:47:35Speaker 2: and now he's like at the bottom, starting at the
- 1:47:40Speaker 2: bottom again, Like the man beat brock Lessner and now
- 1:47:45Speaker 2: he just had a match with whin the Alpha Academy members.
- 1:47:51Speaker 2: Now I understand, we have an open challenge, right, Who
- 1:47:56Speaker 2: the hell in the right minds do an open challenge
- 1:47:59Speaker 2: when there's no title involved?
- 1:48:02Speaker 4: Like Otis Otis?
- 1:48:04Speaker 2: I know, well originally to Zawa, which I did not
- 1:48:09Speaker 2: understand and I was but you know, don't get me wrong,
- 1:48:11Speaker 2: I understand why it was done because it was to
- 1:48:15Speaker 2: show his impressive well, but it was to show his
- 1:48:18Speaker 2: impressive strength against you know, Otis. I get it. And
- 1:48:21Speaker 2: it worked because it was bad ass, the flying clothesline,
- 1:48:24Speaker 2: the way he was smart enough to get him up
- 1:48:26Speaker 2: for his finisher. Like, yeah, I enjoyed the match, But
- 1:48:31Speaker 2: the thing is is, like, how how many people is
- 1:48:34Speaker 2: ob gonna choot through the roster before he gets a
- 1:48:36Speaker 2: real fight, before he gets a title shot. You know,
- 1:48:41Speaker 2: I was saying to Tyler, you know what would be
- 1:48:46Speaker 2: unique is if he was the United States champion. Now
- 1:48:52Speaker 2: if you incorporated the Open Challenge with the United States title.
- 1:48:56Speaker 2: Now you're talking about something. Now you're talking about a title,
- 1:49:00Speaker 2: but that's being defended every week, and look at the
- 1:49:03Speaker 2: fucking guy who holds it. So now you're getting the
- 1:49:06Speaker 2: best of both worlds. Instead, we have a guy who's
- 1:49:09Speaker 2: doing an open challenge for nothing, and then we have
- 1:49:12Speaker 2: a guy who has the United States title and isn't
- 1:49:15Speaker 2: doing an open challenges.
- 1:49:17Speaker 4: But so.
- 1:49:21Speaker 2: A car just driving by my house rude as shites evening. Yeah,
- 1:49:30Speaker 2: so I just feel like, you know how, you're gonna
- 1:49:35Speaker 2: keep me entertainment of open for the next few weeks
- 1:49:37Speaker 2: because this whole squashing jobbers isn't gonna do it for me.
- 1:49:43Speaker 2: Like it's just not man. Like you put the guy
- 1:49:47Speaker 2: at the fucking top of the mountain and the only
- 1:49:49Speaker 2: way for him to go is down because and I
- 1:49:58Speaker 2: just don't know, man, and he's on raw so like
- 1:50:01Speaker 2: he's not even near the Uniteditates title. He's gonna be
- 1:50:04Speaker 2: around the Icy title, which that's very well occupied by
- 1:50:09Speaker 2: you know, that's things that I feel like the icy
- 1:50:12Speaker 2: tells a good storyline right now. So anyway, Trey, what's
- 1:50:17Speaker 2: your input here on the direction they're taking him after
- 1:50:20Speaker 2: brock Lesnon, I'm not.
- 1:50:24Speaker 3: A fan of the OPA challenge because you know, as
- 1:50:28Speaker 3: you said, who the fuck in their right mind is
- 1:50:31Speaker 3: going to challenge this man after watching after they just
- 1:50:33Speaker 3: watched him beat the ship out of brock Lester, Like
- 1:50:37Speaker 3: who sat there and watched that in back in the
- 1:50:39Speaker 3: locker room and said, I think I got a chance.
- 1:50:44Speaker 3: I see where Brock messed up by I see where
- 1:50:46Speaker 3: I see where Brock went wrong. I'm gonna go out there.
- 1:50:48Speaker 5: I can take him.
- 1:50:49Speaker 3: I think I could do it like Funck, though that
- 1:50:51Speaker 3: makes no damn sense whatsoever, like in that regardless, stupid,
- 1:50:56Speaker 3: But he's over, he's hot.
- 1:50:58Speaker 4: We gotta keep him on TV. I get it.
- 1:51:04Speaker 3: There is a way that they can potentially make this work,
- 1:51:11Speaker 3: and that would maybe be if they elaborate on these
- 1:51:19Speaker 3: on this open challenge through backstage segments to where sometimes
- 1:51:25Speaker 3: it's an open challenge, sometimes maybe it's just a direct challenge,
- 1:51:29Speaker 3: like say, for example, next week on Raw, we see
- 1:51:35Speaker 3: Alpha Academy backstage and they're just talking or whatever about
- 1:51:38Speaker 3: what happened last week, and the over comes up and
- 1:51:41Speaker 3: maybe he goes up to me. He seeks to Otis's,
- 1:51:44Speaker 3: you know, I respect you for stepping up to me
- 1:51:47Speaker 3: and not being afraid of challenging me. You did your best,
- 1:51:50Speaker 3: but just wanted to shake your hand or whatever. And
- 1:51:53Speaker 3: he says that, and then say, somebody else comes in
- 1:51:56Speaker 3: and starts talking shit to Otis.
- 1:51:59Speaker 4: You know about losing No, I don't know whoever.
- 1:52:06Speaker 3: They start just ripping on Otis and just talking hell
- 1:52:08Speaker 3: of shit to him forgetting his ass with, like you
- 1:52:10Speaker 3: were dumb ass.
- 1:52:11Speaker 4: Why the fuck would you do?
- 1:52:12Speaker 2: Is?
- 1:52:12Speaker 3: YadA YadA, And then Otis, I mean not Otis, but
- 1:52:15Speaker 3: over then steps in and says, you think you can
- 1:52:17Speaker 3: do any better? Wyon't you bring your ass out to
- 1:52:21Speaker 3: the ring then I'll see you out there. Let me
- 1:52:22Speaker 3: go talk to Nick outus right quick. I mean, let
- 1:52:24Speaker 3: me go talk to Adam Pierce right quick. See if
- 1:52:27Speaker 3: you can do any better. So, I mean, if they
- 1:52:29Speaker 3: bake it something like that, then maybe it can be
- 1:52:34Speaker 3: somewhat interesting or somewhat compelling, but overall it's I just
- 1:52:42Speaker 3: don't I don't see how this builds up ob Femi
- 1:52:48Speaker 3: to being a potential world champion caliber at any timely fashion,
- 1:52:54Speaker 3: because this can get really old, real stale, real fast.
- 1:52:58Speaker 3: He need He's got the momentuma for Lesner. He's still
- 1:53:01Speaker 3: riding out for now, but he's going to need to
- 1:53:04Speaker 3: take that next step, and people are gonna want to
- 1:53:07Speaker 3: see him take that next step fairly quickly, whether that
- 1:53:12Speaker 3: next step is Intercontinental champion yep, or that next step
- 1:53:18Speaker 3: is King of the Ring or money in the bank
- 1:53:23Speaker 3: or something like that. Personally, I don't think it should
- 1:53:27Speaker 3: be money in the bank for him. I would much
- 1:53:30Speaker 3: rather see, as I've said before, I would rather see
- 1:53:34Speaker 3: Over for me become King of the Ring. If it
- 1:53:36Speaker 3: were me, that would be his next step. We'd have
- 1:53:41Speaker 3: the King of the Ring tournament either like probably in June,
- 1:53:47Speaker 3: Over would enter it, oh would win King of the Ring,
- 1:53:50Speaker 3: which would guarantee him a match at SummerSlam, a world
- 1:53:55Speaker 3: title match at Summer Slam, and then that would obviously
- 1:54:01Speaker 3: begin the road two or the countdown to Oba versus Wrong.
- 1:54:13Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I totally agree Dre with what you're saying.
- 1:54:19Speaker 2: It's gonna get old very quick, very very fast. He's
- 1:54:23Speaker 2: gonna run out of opponents. I mean, whether they're just
- 1:54:26Speaker 2: doing this to prolong him into a different storyline that
- 1:54:30Speaker 2: they have set in the future. But I mean fine,
- 1:54:34Speaker 2: then start start bringing in odd fucking wrestlers in bring
- 1:54:38Speaker 2: bring Uh what's his name? Who is the other who's
- 1:54:41Speaker 2: the other guy? Brocolas her face? Uh o maas bring
- 1:54:45Speaker 2: bring his big ass back, have him get fucking body slammed,
- 1:54:50Speaker 2: power slammed or whatever. Uh. Tyler, do you have anything
- 1:54:53Speaker 2: on old but you want to chime in on.
- 1:54:59Speaker 4: H Uh?
- 1:55:01Speaker 7: I will give grace period. Hopefully they don't fumble him
- 1:55:06Speaker 7: like they have great talent in the past.
- 1:55:11Speaker 2: Uh.
- 1:55:12Speaker 7: Other than that, maybe the Rise was attacked quick, but
- 1:55:18Speaker 7: hopefully it goes somewhere fast so it's not wasted.
- 1:55:25Speaker 2: Interested to see what happens next. Yeah, that's all I
- 1:55:33Speaker 2: that guys with this episode. You know, if you want
- 1:55:37Speaker 2: to reach any of us, you can find Podcast Championship
- 1:55:40Speaker 2: Wrestling on Twitter, on Instagram, on Facebook. If you want
- 1:55:46Speaker 2: to get ahold of us and get like the Discord link,

- 1:55:54Speaker 2: all day. No, you want to come in for an interview,
- 1:55:57Speaker 2: we'll do a chat one on one talk about wrestling,
- 1:56:01Speaker 2: you know, uh, speaking of me and Tyler have been discussing,
- 1:56:09Speaker 2: you know, because we did a few episodes of covering
- 1:56:11Speaker 2: SmackDown and recapping we're all while we do it. We
- 1:56:17Speaker 2: got a bunch of downloads off of it, and when
- 1:56:19Speaker 2: we did it seemed like people liked it. We will
- 1:56:22Speaker 2: bring that back, but honestly, there's a there has been
- 1:56:27Speaker 2: said that I think it's in June or July, but
- 1:56:31Speaker 2: they're gonna be turning smack Down the two hours again.
- 1:56:34Speaker 2: So when SmackDown does go back to the two hour format,
- 1:56:40Speaker 2: we will bring you those episodes and it'll basically be
- 1:56:43Speaker 2: me and Tyler just recapping SmackDown and you know, as
- 1:56:47Speaker 2: it's live and just also peppering in Monday Night ra all. So,
- 1:56:52Speaker 2: I mean, we watch him anyway, so why not chat
- 1:56:57Speaker 2: about him. And if Doyle and dre her up to
- 1:57:01Speaker 2: chat about it, then you know they'll be on too.
- 1:57:04Speaker 2: But yeah, I figured we'll we'll try this out when
- 1:57:10Speaker 2: they go to two hours, so in a few weeks. Fun,
- 1:57:14Speaker 2: it's gonna be fun. I'm starting to take notes store
- 1:57:16Speaker 2: and raw now because that's what I'll be doing. I'll
- 1:57:19Speaker 2: be taking notes store and raw so when we do
- 1:57:21Speaker 2: play SmackDown, we can fill in during all their ads.
- 1:57:26Speaker 2: We can fill in at least content from Raw. We'll
- 1:57:29Speaker 2: just you know, ping pong back and forth meanwhile on Raw.
- 1:57:33Speaker 2: So that way, if you you missed wrong SmackDown and
- 1:57:36Speaker 2: you want to catch up before the Predictions episode with
- 1:57:39Speaker 2: Drey and Doyle, you know, at least you'll be all
- 1:57:42Speaker 2: caught up and you don't have to suffer through five hours.
- 1:57:46Speaker 5: How will I make it?
- 1:57:48Speaker 2: Yeah? Will I make it? Well, we'll do the suffering
- 1:57:51Speaker 2: for you. So that's an idea we've been jostling around.
- 1:57:57Speaker 2: There's a new format going forward. Uh, yeah, that's all
- 1:58:03Speaker 2: I got. Uh, Dre, you want to plug anything on
- 1:58:06Speaker 2: our way out here?
- 1:58:09Speaker 3: Just there's always Instagram, dot Com, Slash Podcast, Championship Wrestling.
- 1:58:14Speaker 2: Yeah, uh, Tyler, you want to plug anything before you
- 1:58:17Speaker 2: pass out?
- 1:58:18Speaker 5: Thank you to all of our new downloads. Yeah, we
- 1:58:22Speaker 5: make it possible for you, so enjoy it. Yeah, Kindness,
- 1:58:27Speaker 5: be kind of one another, and other than that, everybody
- 1:58:29Speaker 5: have a great night.
- 1:58:30Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 1:58:30Speaker 2: We're trying to, you know, we we we started putting
- 1:58:34Speaker 2: together a little bit more of the PCW studio. We
- 1:58:37Speaker 2: now have these a little bit sound damping mats between
- 1:58:40Speaker 2: me and Tyler, trying to feels like a more official
- 1:58:43Speaker 2: hopefully trying to stop the bouncing back and forth of
- 1:58:47Speaker 2: our voices smacking off each other. And maybe this massive
- 1:58:50Speaker 2: sound damping mat between us will help. There's such strong
- 1:58:54Speaker 2: voices during this entire podcast episode. I have not seen
- 1:58:59Speaker 2: Tyler his face, so I don't even know if he's
- 1:59:02Speaker 2: truly the back that he could be just sitting on
- 1:59:04Speaker 2: the floor for all I know, playing on his phone.
- 1:59:07Speaker 5: Uh no, that would be very uncomfortable sitting in my chair.
- 1:59:12Speaker 2: Or you'd be with dreystore Price eating Mexican food. So nope, awesome,
- 1:59:24Speaker 2: all right man, have you staying with the Mayo So
- 1:59:32Speaker 2: I'll see you guys later. Let's get the hell out
