WWE Raw 7/6/26 Review | CM Punk RETURNS And WINS THE WWE TITLE FROM SAMI ZAYN · Solomonster Sounds Off

  Speaker 1: Oh, we knew it. We knew it. We knew it.
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: We knew it. We knew it. We knew it. As
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: soon as they announced that Sammy's Ain was going to
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: be defending the WWE Championship on Monday on a show
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: that he really had no business putting the title on
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: the line anyway, because he's a SmackDown star. But as
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: soon as they announced this match on SmackDown, as soon
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: as we realized that Raw was in Chicago this week,
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: you knew something was going to happen. Now, I didn't
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: know it was going to go down exactly the way
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: that it did, But I said this on the sound
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: of and I think most people probably had that feeling
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: in their stummach and the pit of their stomach if
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: they were a Sammy's Ain fan, that this championship run
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: was not going to last very long. Enjoy it while
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: you can. Sammy's Ain's taking pictures of himself eating pizza
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: with the title sitting on the table, he's drinking his coffee,
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: he's riding around town and his convertible with the championship
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: sitting next to him. It's as if he knew, I
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: need to enjoy life while I still can because it
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: will only be a fleeting moment before this championship ends
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: up on somebody else. Nine days ago, Sammy Zayin won
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: the WWE Championship and he won it in Riod that
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: he had contested for the title earlier this year in
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: Saudi Arabia and he lost, so he went into Saudi
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: a second time and he won. For the first time
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: in his career. He won a world championship here on
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: the main roster. And I had people saying, well, you know,
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: the only reason they put the belt on him was
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: because they were in Saudi, and I said, well, I mean,
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: that's not the only reason they put the belt on him,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: but I'm sure they looked at where they were going
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: to be and they said, hey, if we're going to
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: do this right, this is as good a time and
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: as good a place as ever, because you know the
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: kind of response he's gonna get. And he won the
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: championship and everybody there went crazy, and it was this
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: great moment for him. And now tonight Raw was in
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: Chicago and there's another superstar who happens to be from Chicago.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: All of a sudden, WWE is about these great hometown moments.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: Maybe This bodes well for Chad Gable in Minneapolis at
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: summerslim Let's hope. But they made the match. It was
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: gonna be Sammy's Ain and Cody Rhoades for the WWE title.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: We got a bait and switch. We did not get
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: Cody Rhodes wrestling Sammy's Ain in the main event of
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: tonight's show like we were supposed to, because Gunther showed
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: up and he took out Cody Roads at the very
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: beginning of the show. He slammed a car door on
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: his head and Cody had blood coming down part of
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: his face. This was a show long storyline tonight. Cody
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: ended up not being medically cleared, and so all of
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: a sudden we had an opening in the main event.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: And wouldn't you know if you think back to a
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: promo that CM punk had with Cody Roads after Wrestle
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: many of this year, what was it again? Hmm? What
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: was it that CM punk said to Cody Rhods in
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: that promo? You never know when a championship opportunity may
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: fall out of the sky, and many of us were thinking, Hm,
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: money in the bank. What does this mean? Right? Obviously
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: it's a foreshadowing of something yet to come. We just
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: didn't know exactly what it was. I had no idea
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: they were going to go with my idea for the
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: Kick of the Ring Finals. I wasn't too far off,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: as it turned out, when I was talking about bouncing
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: Obafemi or bouncing this person out of the King of
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: the Ring and then CM Punk would show up as
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: a surprise and win the entire tournament so he could
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: go to SummerSlam and he could challenge for the WWE Championship.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: I was only off by about a week. They went
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: with the fucking idea. I was only off by a week.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: Cody Rhads gets taken out of the main event. We
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: end up with Cmpunk just coming back on this show,
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: wrestling in the main event of this show. And you
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: got to remember, the last time we saw cm Punk
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: in a wrestling match, he was defending the World Heavyweight
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Championship in the main event of WrestleMania as a raw star,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: And so the very next time we see cm Punk
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: in a wrestling ring, he's challenging for the WWE Championship,
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: which effectively, now that he's won it spoiler, we have
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: a new WWE champion that now officially puts him on SmackDown.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: So this was their way of basically getting him off
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: of Raw and making him the new face of Friday Nights,
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: unless you want to say QB one and QB two
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: with him and Cody Rhoads. I can't even before I
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: even talk about Sammy and everything that happened on this
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: show and everything that happened in the main event tonight,
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: I can't even sit here and really be too mad
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: because look at the main event that we got on
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: this show. How fucking great was that main event tonight?
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: I mean, I can't go any further without putting that
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: match over that. This is the kind of Raw main
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: event that I am starved for. Can I just say
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: that right off the bat, regardless of how I or
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: you or anybody else feels about the decision to do
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: a title change tonight, I feel like we are in
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: an error right now of WWE Television, and this goes
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: for Raw and SmackDown, where so many times, so many weeks,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: I come on here and I talk about the show
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: and I'm like, either it was just a straight up
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: bad show, or it was a good show, or it
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: was a show, and it just feels like rarely does
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: anything of any great significance actually happen. Rarely do you
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: see a crowd as loud and electric as this crowd
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: was in Chicago. And I've said before I think Chicago
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: is the greatest wrestling city in the world, just consistently
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: over the years. I say that as a New Yorker,
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: I think Chicago is the best wrestling crowd. Obviously, CM
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: Punk is beloved because he's, you know, Chicago made, Chicago born,
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: Chicago Bread. This was his big return. He was gonna
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: get a big reaction regardless. But from the moment he
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: got into that ring and the bell rang and that
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: main event started, the atmosphere in that building it felt
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: like a pay per view main event. And I can't
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: remember the last time I watched a Monday Night Raw
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: and saw a match that had that kind of atmosphere
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: for a main event. I wish we could get that
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: more often. I wish you could just bottle it up
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: and they could take it with them from city to
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: city every Monday Night. They had a just an excellent
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: main event. When it was over, it was the predictable outcome,
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: the moment seem Punk walk down to the ring. I
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: even pointed out when the match began, you could see
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: the Pyro laying on the stage in preparation for something
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: that was going to happen at the end of this show.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: And I don't think they were gonna give Cody Rhoades
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: his full entrance if he was to come out at
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: some point during this main event, So that kind of
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: gave it away as far as what the outcome of
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: the main event was gonna be. Cmpunk is once again
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: a world champion here in WWE, almost fifteen years to
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: the day that he won his first WWE championship from
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: John Cena at Money in the Bank. I believe it
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: would have been in that building in Chicago. Here we
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: are in twenty twenty six and Punk. It's like bar hopping,
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: right and Punk a straight edge that he doesn't even drink.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: You're just you're hopping from one bar to the next. Right.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: A few months ago, it was the World Heavyweight Championship.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: Now he's got the WWE title. Does CM Punk need
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: the WWE Championship, No, he doesn't. He didn't need the
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: World Heavyweight Championship, but he ended up having what I
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: thought was a strong run with it heading into WrestleMania.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: So now they put the title on him. Why did
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: they do this? They did it because they have Summer
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: Slam coming up at US Bank Stadium and they are
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: lagging behind what they were doing for last year Summer Slam.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: I pointed this out of the podcast yesterday. Now it's
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: two different stadiums. This one's a little bit smaller. But
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: when SummerSlam rolled around a year ago, they had over
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: fifty thousand tickets sold for Night one and about sixty
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: thousand for Night two, and at last count, they were
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: in the mid twenties for each night of SummerSlam. This year,
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: we're less than a month out. It's a two night
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: stadium show. WWE wants to go with what they feel
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: are going to be the biggest possible attractions on that show,
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: the biggest main events that they could do. We got
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: Roman reigns in seth Rollins going one on one. It's
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty six. We still have Roman reigns in seth
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: Rawlins wrestling in the main event. That's ridiculous. We have
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: CM punk in main events. Kind of ridiculous, right, you
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: gotta admit. And I know a lot of people are
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: gonna look at this and go, man, why can't we get.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: We gotta get something new. We got to get somebody
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: younger in there. I will point out to you, by
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: the way, Okay, you can't. You can't talk about age
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: in this case. Sammy' z aye's forty one years old. Okay,
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: everybody's talking about La Knight. La Knight's what forty three?
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: It's less a matter of age and more a matter
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: of people being sick and tired of the same shit
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: over and over and over again. It's like WWE is
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: allergic to giving new people and new faces opportunities to
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: hold the title or be in these main events. So
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: we get Roman Reigns, and we get Seth Rollins, and
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: we get cmpunk, and we get Cody Rhodes and we
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: get brock lesnar Rinse repeat, right. It's hard to break
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: the cycle. This, this idea of Cody fatigue, that people
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: are just so sick and tired of people calling him.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: They're calling him the Golden Boy now on television they've
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: actually turned it into a fucking nickname on TV, always
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: the Golden Boy. Right, But that's how a lot of
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: fans field they're sick and tired of Cody Rhads. They
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: were very happy to see Cody Rhoads lose the championship
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: at Night of Champions. Maybe not so happy about Sammy
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: zan winning the belt because there was a lot of
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: hate coming Sammy's way for winning that belt. But people
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: are looking for something new, They're looking for something different
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: in the main events scene. This is a spot that
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: Sammy's Ain had never been in before. Sammy z Ain
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: has been with this company at least in terms of
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: being on the main roster for a decade, and in
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: that time, he had never been a world champion before,
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: and at times it felt like maybe it was never
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: gonna happen. Right, So, even though he's been around forever,
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: him winning the World Championship was something different, and there
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: were a lot of people who embraced it, and at
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: the same time they also felt really happy for him
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: because here's a guy who worked his ass off, had
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: great matches, was always very reliable, very entertaining in whatever
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: role they would put him in. And so finally he
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: had his moment of glory. Right, he had his moments
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: than the Sun. And I never expected it to be
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: a long I mean, I told you guys, man, I said,
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: don't expect anything long. By summer, Slim he's going to
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: drop the belt if he even makes it to summer. Slim.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: I was thinking maybe Saturday Night's main event. He may
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: not make it beyond Madison Square Garden. I had no
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: idea that they were going to take the belt off
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: of him nine days later. Even I have to sit
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: here and look at that, and I go, you couldn't
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: give the guy one successful title defense, not one. He
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: did not get one successful title defense. And yet there
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: have been worse. Talk to raymis Stereo. Raymisterio knows what
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: it's like to go from the highest of highs an
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: hour one, to go to the lowest of lows an
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: hour two. Okay, it could have been worse. It's kind
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: of hard to believe, but it could have been worse.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: But I think a lot of the anger that you're
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: going to see from people, it's not even a matter
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: of oh, Sammy Zain. It's a matter of we're tired
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: of Cody Roads. We're tired of the same old, same old,
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: And it was nice to just get the belt onto
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: somebody else and let's give somebody else an opportunity to
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: run with it and see where it goes. And they
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: never even thought to extend it out until SummerSlam, because
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: for SummerSlam they want the biggest possible match they can do,
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: which is very clearly going to be CM Punk and
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: Cody Roads. Although I would argue there is no reason
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: that Sammy's ain should not be a part of that match.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: My hope coming into this show tonight was that when
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: it was over, somehow, even though I wasn't I wasn't
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: expecting it, But my hope was that somehow Sammy Zin
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: could could squeak by and then maybe we get a
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: triple threat match. Punk's gonna come back. You get Punk,
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: you get Cody, you get Sammy triple threat at SummerSlam.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: Why not you still get Cody and Punk in the
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: ring together. They can still do that. Cody Roads is
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: gonna end up being in a championship match at SummerSlam,
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: and he wants his rematch, Well, then why would Sammy's
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: ain not deserve a rematch? Now? Knowing WWE, They'll just
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: have Cody against Sammy in a non title match on
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: television in a few weeks and Cody w'll fucking beat
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: him and that'll be the end of it. As if
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: this isn't bad enough, they'll shovel some more dirt on
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: the corpse and they'll do the singles match they want
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: to do at SummerSlam. But honestly, if you just look
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: at it, logically, both men deserve a rematch. It should
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: be a triple threat. That's the only way that Sammy's
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: Ain is gonna get on this Summer Slam card unless
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: Johnny Gargano stops planking and he rises from the dead
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: and they want to do fucking Sammy's Ain and Johnny Gargano,
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: you fucking I mean, it's a fucking main event match. Okay,
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: they're not doing that at Summer Slim. The only way
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: Sammy's Ain gets on that Summer Slam card at this
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: point is if they turn this into a triple threat scenario.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: Otherwise we are looking at a very real possibility that
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: he doesn't even make SummerSlam this year, which would be
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: a huge slap in the face because he's been the
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: best part of that Friday night show now for a
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: few months. So you really want to kick the guy
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: in the dick, that's how you do it. So I
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: get it. I get there's gonna be people very upset.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: I said coming into this. I'm torn. I'm torn because
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: On the one hand, I fucking hate that they took
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: this championship off Sammy in nine days. Yes, there have
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: been worse. You could have given him a little more time.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: There was no reason not to put the belt on
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: him and at least let him run with it and
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: get one or two defenses under his belt. There was
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: no reason for it, So I hated the idea of
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: him losing the championship this soon. On the other hand,
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: the fact that they want to do Cody Rhades and
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: see him punkin Summer Slam, I get it. It's one
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: of the biggest matches that they could do. It's a
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: match I want to see. I was hoping we would
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: get it at WrestleMania this year. Didn't pan out that way.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: If that's the match they're going to do in Minneapolis,
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: I'm cool with it. It's a big match, But I still
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: feel like Samy needs to be worked into that match.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: Story Wise, it would not be very hard at all
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: to get him involved instead of just sort of shunning
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: him to the side. And that's that's my hope now
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: coming out of this, is that he's not just forgotten about. Okay,
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: you know, we gave him his little run we gave
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: him his token title run, so everybody in Riod can celebrate,
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: and all the people on the internet who love Samy's
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: ay and they could rejoice. He got his moment, and
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: now his moment is over, you know, off to the side.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: I hope that's not what happens here. Even though I
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: will tell you this was it for sammy's Ain, his
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: WWE champion, because he ain't winning his belt back again
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: that much. I will tell you I don't believe for
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: a second that samy's Ain is getting his belt back.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: So it sucks that the run came to an end
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: as quickly as it did if it was going to
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: end tonight though he went out with a bang, because,
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: like I said, that match, I thought it was just
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: an excellent main event. There are worse ways that that
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: run could have ended, in terms of a roll up
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: something in thirty seconds, some kind of bullshit finish right,
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: some overbooked mess. These two guys went out there in
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: the main event tonight. They had a fucking great wrestling match.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: It's the kind of match that if you're a performer,
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: I would imagine that you live for this. You live
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: for this. So at least they were able to go
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: out there and have a great match, one of the best, frankly,
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: if not best TV matches all year. Maybe not the best,
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: but one of the best television matches of the year.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: But I'm torn because they did him dirty tonight. At
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: the end of the day, they did Samby's Ain't dirty,
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: and I knew it going in. I was hoping, though,
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: you know, I was holding out hope. Now here we
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: are we have another summer of punk. I don't know
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: how many this is. This is what the third one now,
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: I guess maybe fourth. We had the one in Ring
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: of Honor many years ago, we had the one in
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: WWE in twenty eleven, we had one kind of I
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: guess in aaw this this would be one number four.
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: I don't know, but they mentioned that I think on
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: commentary that we have another summer of punk here. I
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: just think, you know, in terms of Sammy's ain Sammy
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: is one of those guys where if you, you know,
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: keep the belt on him for a little while longer
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: and have him defended against a few different people, a
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: lot of people would have expected that he was going
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: to drop it quickly. I think it was also a
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: missed opportunity to have some drama, you know in some
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: of these title matches where there would have been an
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: expectation going in that he could lose this championship at
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: any given moment, on any given night, and you've also
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: taken that away now that could have made for some fun,
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: you know, title defenses on TV, you know, maybe between
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: now and SummerSlam. So as I think about this now
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: my head, that's also something else that we that we
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: miss out on. CM Punk being back obviously is a
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: big feather in their cap. It's a big name for
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: them to get back. There are other people right now,
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: including your world heavyweight champion on Raw who can't be
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: bothered to wrestle on TV. Roman Reigns has his belt,
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: he comes out on television, he wants people to acknowledge him,
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: and he defends on some of the pls and that's
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: the best you're going to get at this point. With Punk,
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: I could see him defending the championship here and there
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: on television, having some TV title defenses, So that could
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: be good. SmackDown certainly could use the boost. Look, if
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: you're talking in terms of sheer star power, Cmpunk gives
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: SmackDown a boost that Sammy z Ain does not give
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: that show because Punk is a bigger star than sammy'se Ain.
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: Is Punk going to SmackDown is the right move. It's
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: going to inject some new life into this show. I'm
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: happy that they've made that move, and the match with
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: Cody would seem to be the play. And by the way,
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: whatever the title matches at SummerSlam, it will involve Cody.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: Cody should not win the championship back because we have
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: now seen the title change hands twice recently, and I'm
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: okay with that. I'm not one of these people that's like, oh,
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: why are you playing hot potato with the bet? Now?
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: You know what, hot potato with the WWE title would
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: be changing at three, four or five times in the
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: span of a few months. We're not there yet, but
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Like, these are shows that for the longest
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: time have been a fucking bore. So you know what,
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: if they want to spice it up a little bit
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: and have a title change here and there, I'm not
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: opposed to that, but I also don't want them to
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: go overboard with it. And like we go to Summer
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: Slam and Punk defends the title and Cody gets the
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: belt back we can't be doing that. You took the
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: belt off Cody, keep it off of him. What they
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: did was they wanted to use Sammy as a transitional
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: champion to get the belt on Punk without Punk beating
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: Cody for it. Sammy was the conduit for that. He
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: is the definition of a transitional champion. That is what
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: he will go down in history. But now that Punk
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: has the belt, you got to keep it on him
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: for a while. I don't want to see Cody Roads
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: with his belt back at Summer Slam. I'm willing to
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: bettle out of you have no desire. They have no
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: appetite to see Cody Rose. Just get the belt back
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: at Summer Slim to me, if that's where we end
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: up at the end of all this, then what the
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: fuck was the point of any of this? What would
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: the fucking point of any of this be if at
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: the end of Summer Slam Cody Roads is standing there
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: with the WWE title. So this is going to be
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: a very interesting period. Now, if they can control themselves
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: and not have a belt on Cody, what do they
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: do with him when he's not the champion? Are they
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: more open to the idea all of a sudden of
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: a Cody roads Heel turn. Certainly feel like we're closer
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: to it now than we were six months ago, where would,
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: in my mind, would have been completely stupid. Now can't
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: discount the possibility that maybe we could finally build to
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: something like that that would certainly add a new dimension
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: to his character and make him a little more interesting
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: to people. But I just think, again, at the end
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: of all this, they put the belt back on Cody,
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: then I have absolutely no idea what the point of
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: any of this was. It was certainly a very eventful
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: close to the show tonight. There'll be a big post mortem,
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: I'm sure on this title reign, if you can call
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: it that of Sammy's ain. But we have a new
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: WWE champion, and that was not the only title that
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: changed hands on this show tonight. We also have new
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: tag team champions the Vision. This is not what I
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: was hoping for. In fact, there have been reports of
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: like that the Vision could potentially be going the way
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: of the Dinosaur, that there is an internal discussion, and
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: maybe there still is an internal debate in WWE about
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: do we split them up, do we keep them together?
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: Either way, bron Breaker and Paul Hammer are going to
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: be kept together, which is fine. I think the Vision
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: it's past its expiration date. Let me fuck you could
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: say the same thing about the judgment at this point,
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: just blow him all up. What they did tonight on
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: the show was the exact opposite. They made it seem
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: like the Vision is going to be not only kept together,
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: they're gonna add new members to the Vision and try
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: to make it even stronger. They put the tag team
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: belt right back on them. Maxine Dupree turn heel, so
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: I guess Maxine Duprie now was the first official female
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: member of the Vision, so the Vision ain't going nowhere
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: for a while. Bron Breaker was back on the show tonight.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: I was hoping to see him out there spearing theory
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: out of his boots. Instead he's I mean, he's just
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: doing what he usually does. I mean, he lost to
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: seth Rollins. He doesn't seem terribly bothered by it. He
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: didn't seem terribly pissed off or upset, and the focus
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: wasn't even on him tonight. The focus was on Maxine Dupree.
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: Of everybody in the vision, the focus tonight was on
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: Maxine Dupree and bron Breaker like Logan Paul was just
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: sort of in the background, not a fan of that.
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: I am a fan of them doing this gauntlet match
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: on the show next week. We're gonna find out next
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: Monday who the number one contender is going to be
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: for the Intercontinental title at SummerSlam. And there's like seven
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: guys in this gauntlet. One of those men is Chad Gable.
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: And I will tell you now if anybody and Javan
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: Evans is in there too, and Dragon Lee and Russev
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: and Ethan Page, if anybody but Chad Gable wins that
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: gauntlet next week, I don't know what the fuck we'red
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: and that includes Javon. I don't know what the fuck
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: we're doing here. Javan Evans should not be going to
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: Summer Slam to wrestle Penta for the Intercontinental Championship. One
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: man should be going to Minneapolis, in his hometown to
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: wrestle for that championship, coming off all the momentum he
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: had with the Triple A match, which was only a
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: couple not even a couple of months ago. That man
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: is Chad Gable. They have one job next week on
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: the show, which is to put Chad Gable over in
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: the Gauntlet and send him to Minneapolis to wrestle for
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: the Intercontinental Championshipfully that is the way that will play out.
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: But that Gauntlet next week, considering some of the talent
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: that's in there, that should be really good. Like they've
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: done gauntlet matches on Raw before, some of them have
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: been eh, kind of a bore, and then some of them,
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: some of them could go the length of an entire hour,
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: and some of them have been really good. There was
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: actually a really good one many years ago that Seth
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: Rollins was in. I don't think he won, but I
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: don't remember what the what the match was or what
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: the circumstances were. So that's coming up on the show
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: next week. We had no Roman Reigns, we had no
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: Brocklesner on the show tonight. We did hear from their
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: Summer Slam opponents they were on the show. I will
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: also point out it was yet another week without a
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: single Women's World Championship defense by liv Morgan since she
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: won the title of WrestleMania. They have just completely given
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: up on the idea of her putting the belt up
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: against anybody. They're just gonna wait until SummerSlam. She'll defend
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: it against EO Sky and hopefully she will fucking lose
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: because this is by far the worst Women's Championship run
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: that I have ever seen. Like, this is awful. This
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: is absolutely all they have given her, nothing, nothing to
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: work with. Stephanie Viquier is unavailable, whatever the issue is, visa,
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: whatever the fuck it is, She's unavailable. They have no
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: idea what to do with this woman. You talk about
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: being caught flat footed. I could just imagine when the
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: news was delivered to them in the meeting. Hey, we
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: don't have Stephanie. We may not have her back for
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: a while. What do we do, Well, We'll just have
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: her come out with the other members of the judgment
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: day every week. She'll be a manager. We got nothing
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: better for her to do. It's unbelievable. Yet another week
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: of no title defenses. Amazing, We got a lot to
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: get into here. It was a very eventful show. I
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: will say that that we need more raws like this.
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: I actually thought on the whole I would say it
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: was a good show because it didn't bore me. This
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: is how I grade these WWE shows now, because so
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: many of them are just so lackluster and it just
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: feels like, if I missed this show, I really didn't
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: miss anything, right. I like it. When shit goes down,
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: that's important that we can talk about. Whether it makes
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: you happy or it pisses you off. At least something happened,
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: and there were multiple things that happened on the show.
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: We're going to talk about them. This is your Raw
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: on Netflix review. It is Monday night. It is July sixth,
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty six. I am the solemn monster speaking of
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: things that have happened on TV shows over the years
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: or pay per views. July sixth is a very special
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: day because twenty nine years ago on this day, one
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: of the greatest matches in WWE history took place at
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: the Calgary Stampede. It was at the Canadian Stampede pay
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: per view. It was the Heart found It against Team USA.
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: The building was literally shaking. Kudos to the Vault. By
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: the way, WWE Vault, they uploaded the entire match, all
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: thirty plus minutes of it, earlier today on the Vault channel.
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: So if you want to watch it and start with
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: the entrances, you talk about an electric atmosphere. Holy shit.
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: So that was twenty nine years ago on this date,
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: but also On this day twenty eight years ago, and
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: this was on free TV on Monday, Nitro, we had
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: Goldberg beating Hollywood Hogan at the Georgia Dome to win
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: the WCW World Heavyweight Championship. It was the peak of Goldberg,
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: It was the peak of Nitro. It was the peak
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: of WCW's like Darby Allen reaching the summit of Mount
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: Everest and then when you reach the summit you begin
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: your descent. That was the beginning of the descent of WCW.
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: But what a match that was. People in the Georgia
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: Dome lips Hogan up for the jackhammer pins them. You
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: look out the sea of fans, everybody, they're high five
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: in each other. They're so happy. Oh my god, the
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: nWo is dead, or so they thought. So you talk
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: about historic moments in wrestling history, that was certainly one
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: of them twenty eight years ago. Today, how about that
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: hit that subscribe button, hit that like button. I sure
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: would appreciate it. Super chats are open. I see, we're
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: already more than halfway to our bonus goal, which is
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: very cool. You know what else is very cool? I
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: got to give all you a shout out. How about this.
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: How about this Cody Rhoads. They talk about Cody Rhodes
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: finishing his story at WrestleMania a few years ago. Guess
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: who finished his story today? Oh yes, check this out
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: as of this morning, number one on the Apple Podcast
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: Charts for Wrestling podcasts, the latest episode of The Solemn
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: Monster Sounds Off, Episode nine seventy. We've finished the story.
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: We finally topped Cornett's number one. That doesn't happen without you, guys,
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: So I got to give all of you a big
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: thank you. Thank you for downloading and streaming and supporting
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: and listening to the podcast. It was a good one yesterday.
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: So I could not go any further without just bringing
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: that up and ah saying thank you. We have finished
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: the story. Hopefully this is not the peak of the SoundOff.
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: You know, WWE. Ever since Cody finished his story a
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: WrestleMania forty, it's been all downhill. They have not been
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: able to find a story since then to match that one.
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: I would like to think that this is this is
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: only the beginning, that this is not the peak. Yeah,
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: solo Monster number one before GTA six, I pulled it off.
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: Let's do it again next week. How about that also,
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: I want to just mention for those of you who
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: may have missed it, I did get a video up
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: yesterday because of course I dropped the sound off, and
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: as soon as I did, as soon as the podcast
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: went out, this fucking shamous news broke. So I decided
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: to record a separate video with what we know about
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: the shameless situation and went on camera for that. That's
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: up on the YouTube channel as well, so if you
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: miss that, you can go back and check that out.
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: All right, let's bring it back to me. Let's bring
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: out the wheel. The wheel is out of the shop.
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: The wheel is working again, So we're gonna spin it
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: find out how many likes we need. It'd be kind
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: of funny if it lands on a number we've already beaten.
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: Let's see, three hundred and ninety. We need three one
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: hundred and ninety likes, so if we hit three ninety,
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: then we are guaranteed at least the one round of
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: be the booker a artist A J. Moore, Hey J,
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: what's going on? Brother? Thank you for the sub Hit
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: that sub button. If you are lurking in the shadows
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: that well, you can be a part of our little
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: community here. Well, we've already hit the goal. So now
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: I guess we're just working on the bonus goal. See
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: what you guys can pull off there. All right, let's
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: get into this show. We're gonna take it from the top, because,
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: like I said, there was a lot that went down here.
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: It was basically a show long storyline with the Sammy's
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: and Cody road stuff, and it started right from the top.
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: It started right Oh thank god, we had no Bremode tonight.
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: We saved that for SmackDown. You know, Brie was very upset.
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: I know on her podcast she talked about only getting
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: three minutes for her match with You know, at this rate,
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: I think she may get more airtime on this stream
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: than she does on WWE television. Actually, I think we
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: just did we Yes, we did. Oh my god, we
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: hit the bonus goal. Son of a bitch. How about that?
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: My god? We did? We hit the bonus goal. Well,
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: here's what we're gonna do. Because we already hit the
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: bonus goal, we got we have to uh, we have
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: to up the ante here. So before I before I
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: move on here, it's kind of anti climactic if we
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: already we already got the job done. We set a
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: new goal. Maybe we'll get three rounds to be the
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: booker tonight. Let's see if we could start a new one.
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: Steve lets me here we go. All right, this is
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: the bonus bonus. We're gonna do a whole car to
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: be the booker if we hit this goal. All right,
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: So Sammy's aying he arrived to the arena in a convertible.
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: He's been riding around in a convertible now for a while.
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: You can follow him on social media. You'll see all
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: the I think he posted a video or images of him,
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: and the belt is in the driver's seat, or he's
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: in the driver's seat, the belt in the passenger seat. See.
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: Arrives at the building and Cody was standing backstage. Sammy,
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: of course, was all smiles. Things got heated between the
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: two of them when Gunther showed up. Now, Gunther was
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: not supposed to be there. Gunther was supposedly sent home
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: after his little brujaha with Nick all this after night
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: of Champions. But here he is, and so Gunther is there.
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: He power bombs Cody through a table that happened to
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: be nearby, and he looks at Sammy. He goes, you're welcome,
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: and he tells Sammy that Cody is no longer your problem.
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: I am Gunh told Sammy that he was coming for him.
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: So then Gunther looks over, he sees Cody is crawling
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: towards Sammy's car, and he goes over and he kicks
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: the driver's door, the driver's side door, right into Cody's head,
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: and Cody had some blood kind of you know, coming
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: down his head a little bit there, and yeah, I'm
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: looking at this and I'm like, uh oh, angle alert.
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: Are they going to swap him out for somebody else
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: in the main event? Michael Cole and Corey Graves wondered
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: the same thing. They wonder what does this mean for
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: the main event here on this show seth Rollins was
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: then out to the ring to address the Chicago crowd.
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: He was promptly met by chance of CM punk. You know,
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: my favorite thing on this show was listening to Michael
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: Cole and or Corey Graves have to feign surprise when
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: CM punk showed up at the end of the show
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: and also talk about how Sammy's ain seemingly had no idea.
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: He's he's shocked, he is absolutely shocked that CM punk
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: would be on the show, even though the fans have
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: been chanting CM Punk the entire night off and on,
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: including when Sammy's ain came out to the ring. So
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: I always love it when they have to just play stupid.
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: They just have to play dumb. But yes, they were
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: chanting for CM Punk here. In this segment, Rolin said
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: he couldn't care less about him because Punk is not
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: his business right now. The World Heavyweight Championship is. Roman
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: Reigns is his business, and the fans didn't like hearing that.
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: The fans the fans are the fans are funny man.
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: Obviously you would expect them to cheer for Punk here
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: in Chicago, but they cheer for Roman Reigns even though
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: he's a heel. They chant otc anybody who speaks ill
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: of Roman Reigns. They boo that person. La Night got booed.
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: I don't know where they were, but a few weeks
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: ago on TV. He hates Roman Reigns, he hates the bloodline,
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: and they love La Night except when he bashes Roman
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: and then they bow him, and then he's got to
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: turn it around and be like, oh, I get it,
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: I get why you guys would like him. I got it.
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: But you know he's up there a little bit. He said,
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: Roman Reigns is not here tonight. Man. He doesn't like
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: it either. But Roman didn't show up because he didn't
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: think it benefited him. Either that or the check wasn't
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: big enough. From day one, Roman has been the chosen one.
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: Nobody ever wants to hold him accountable. The Shield debuted
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: as a trio, but it was made very clear that
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: Roman was the chosen one. Roman was the one who
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: was going to be the big star, no matter if
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: he couldn't cut a promo or wrestle his way out
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: of a wet paper bag. That didn't sit right with Seth.
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: He points out a little boy in the crowd somewhere
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: in the front row. He goes, that was me. I
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: was that boy he sat in the stands. He wanted
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: to be a pro wrestler his entire life. He wanted
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: to main event wrestle Mania is he wanted to be
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: the biggest star in the industry. To watch those dreams
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: be handed off to somebody else broke something in him.
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: Every decision he made after that is in response to
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: watching his dreams get handed to somebody that he didn't
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: think deserved it. He broke up the shield he cashed
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: in at WrestleMania in the main event to stick close
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: to Roman raids. He believed that if he put in
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: the work and believed in himself, that he could still
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: achieve those dreams. But they weren't running in the same race.
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: A couple of years ago, Roman said something about him
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: that changed everything for him. He admitted that Seth worked
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: ten times harder, but Roman made ten times the money
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: that Seth did. Isn't that the thing about life? You
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: could have somebody who doesn't work nearly as hard as
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: you do, and yet somehow they'll find more success than you,
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: or they'll make more money than you. Right. I think
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: that's a wrestling thing. I think that's a life thing.
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: Believe me, there's a lot of very frustrated people out
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: there who could probably relate to that. So in this case,
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: it just it just irked him to no end. He
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: said that he was bullshit, is what he called it.
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: It wasn't about the money. He wasn't about living in
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: a mansion. The reward was the work, the ability to
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: come in and make something of himself. Roman has to
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: beat Seth at Summerslim because he needs to justify what
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: he's been trying to prove to himself for the last
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: fifteen years. And that's not a case of him being
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: the tribal chief for the OTC or anything like that.
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: To Roman, Roman has to prove that he is not
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: a fraud. He has to do the one thing he
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: hasn't been able to do in a big match, beat Seth.
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: If he can't beat Seth and he's a fraud, Seth
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: needs to beat Roman just as much. He needs to
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: prove to himself and his five year old self that
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: through sacrifice, hard work, and dreams you can still achieve greatness.
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: And I'm not gonna lie. This promo was boring me.
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: I was surprised I didn't start dozing off here. This
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: was not the most exciting Seth Rollins promo that we've
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: gotten out of him. Not that anything that he was
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: saying here was wrong. I mean, he's trying to throw
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: some more gasoline on the fire for his summer Slam match,
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: and there's only so much you can do when your
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: opponent doesn't show up to work. So he did what
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: he could hear in this promo to make the key
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: points he wanted to make. But yeah, this wasn't working,
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: and it wasn't working in Chicago because again, you know
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: CM punk chants during a Seth Rollins promo. Seth Rollins
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: doesn't like ciampunk. He's cutting a promo on Roman rains.
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: Roman reigns super popular with the crowd. Fans didn't want
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: to hear it. They're very quiet. They did not want
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: to hear what this man was trying to sell them. Thankfully,
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: it was boring La Knight as well, who interrupted and
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: he came out to save the day. He said that
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: there was no way that for two weeks in a row,
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: he was just gonna sit there and listen to this again.
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: He said, Roman and Seth bore everyone to sleep every
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: week with the same old trash. Yip be Skippy, he said,
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: put that on a T shirt. I'll buy that Yip
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: be Skippy with the La Night logo on the back.
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: He said. They bloviated all over each other. What a
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: great cheat code. All they had to do was talk
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: about how great they were, and Seth gets a title shot.
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: Night remembers when you had to win matches in tournaments
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: to get title shots. They both lost in the first
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: round of the King of the Ring, but the difference
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: between them is that Knight's not making a claim to
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: the title for nostalgia's sake. These two guys come out there, brother, brother, brother, brother,
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: I gotta beat you brother, brother, brother. He was morphing
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: into Hogan here for a second that or Russo. I
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: don't know. I guess Russeau would be bro. Yeah, morphin
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: into Hogan. You don't. You don't do that. You don't
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: want to morph into Hogan. Say he's mocking them, you
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: know again, brother, brother, brother, brother, this brother, that they're
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: the greatest of all time, greatest of what he said.
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: Night hasn't been here as long as Seth has, and
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: he'll never catch him as far as world title shots go.
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: But when business was starting to peak a couple of
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: years ago, who is the man on top? He said,
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: He'll give some credit to Cody Rhodes. But everybody was
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: saying and everybody chants, la Knight. He said he was
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: making his rise, but he got cut off by the
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: blood Line, and he got cut off by the Vision.
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: Here we are again. The Bloodline is trying to hold
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: him down again, but they can't. Roman and Seth are
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: the two biggest vomits in the business. They can't stop
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: La Night because he must rise. So Seth goes, are
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: you done? He says, I don't like you, but I
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: respect Knight is a shining example of everything that he described,
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: hard work, hustle, and grind. He believes his time will come.
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: That's very very optimistic of him. Right now, Seth can't
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: worry about La Night because he has to go to
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: SummerSlam and get the belt back that he never lost.
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: But after he gets it back, Night can be the
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: first person he puts in the dirt and so Rollin's
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: He goes to leave, and after Night turns around, Jimmy
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: Usso is in the ring and Jimmy is waiting for him,
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: and Knight eats the foot off the superkick, and then
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: Jimmy retreated into the crowd. He was mouthing off as
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: he was leaving. You know, keep my family's name out
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: of your mouth. I should point out to you that
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: it was already twenty five minutes past the top of
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: the top of the hour. Really since the show started,
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: it was like eight twenty five. We had a lot
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: of a lot of talking on this show. We had
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: yet to have any actual match. I guess we had
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: some action in terms of Cody getting bloodied up backstage.
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: We got a power bomb through a table backstage by Gunther.
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: That was the extent to which we had any action
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: up to this point on the show. Seth Rollins. Here's
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: the thing about the Seth Rollins promo. Seth Rollins is
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: the the de facto babyface, right, got fut fuck that tree.
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: That's right, You tell him, you tell him death sith,
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: Thank you brother. What I was gonna say is that
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: in this segment, Rollins was only the fourth most over
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: guy who was mentioned or appeared Punk Roman La Knight.
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: Rollins was number four. Rollins is the one who's going
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: to Summer Slam to challenge for the World Heavyweight Championship.
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: It was a bad look. It was a bad look
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: that he was only the fourth most over guy in
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: this entire segment. Looks It's hard for me to sit
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: here and get excited about, oh, you know La Knight
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: is you know, giving it to Seth Rollins because the
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: promo that night cut here was so much better than Seths.
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: And I'm looking at this and I'm like, maybe they're
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: positioning him for some But then I catch myself and
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: I'm like, you got to stop doing that because we've
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: been here before, Like we have been here before multiple
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: times where Night comes out in the middle of a
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: segment like this, or he confronts you know whoever it is,
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: the top heel or babyface or whatever, and it's like, Okay,
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: maybe they're maybe they're planning something with him, right, maybe
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: maybe there's something in the works. There's nothing in the works.
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: You know what's in the works. A six man tag
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: is in the works. That's what's in the works for
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: him at summers and coming out of summer, Slim, I
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: don't expect anything to be any different. For if it
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: is great, I'll be the first to come on here
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: and say I didn't see it coming. But you know,
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: when you would like to see someone kind of elevated
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: to a position higher than the one that they're in,
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: doing something more meaningful to what they have them doing,
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: and time after time after time, it just doesn't happen.
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: Despite the reactions that he continues to get, after a while,
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: you're like, Okay, you know, fool me ones, fool me twice,
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: fool me seven times after that. Yeah, I'm not really
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: going to expect much out of it. So he was
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: the star of this segment here. But beyond that, do
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: I think it's actually leading to something tangible, meaningful for him?
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: I don't. I don't. We go to the back Adam Pearson, guntherer.
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: They were arguing as Gunther was being escorted out of
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: the building. But hold on a second, Nick, All this
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: is here. It's as if he was he never sent
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: home in the first place, even though he was he
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: was sent home on administrative leave. He showed up to work.
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: Anybody who does that, who gets sent home and just
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: shows up to work anyway, if you're sent home on
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: administrative leave, I guess technically you're still being paid, I
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: would guess. But anyway, So here he is, and so
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: he's yelling at Gunther. Pierce is getting in between them,
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: trying to keep the two of them apart. Gunh says,
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: all this was a failed wrestler and now he's a
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: failed general manager. So after Gunther left Pierce and all
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: this they got into it. All this was very upset
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: that Pierce poached his main event and was doing it
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: on Raw instead of doing it on SmackDown, which he's right,
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: by the way, the WWE Championship, there's no real reason
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: for it to be defended on this show other than
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: it was going to be CM Punk in the match.
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: So he was very upset about this, and Pierce said, well,
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: I'm running both shows now because of you and all
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: this said yeah, and you're doing a really crappy job,
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: he said, Cody getting injured and potentially being out of
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: tonight's main event. That's on you. Where has this been,
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: by the way, where we need more of this? We
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: have these general managers that are generally they're very deferential
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: to each other. They work together, they don't really do
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: a lot in terms of trades and things of that nature.
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: We need more, you know, we need more animus like
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: this between the two gms, right, it sparks good competition
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: between the brands. We need to see more of this
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: between these two. We have the Street Profits finally a match,
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: Street Profits defending the World Tag team titles against bron
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: Breaker and Austin Theory representing the Vision. During the commercial break,
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: the Street Profits they got the jay usso interests they
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: were they were or the death Rider's entrance. They were
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: coming through the crowd and I don't know what was
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: going on with montez Ford. He gets to the barricade
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: at ringside, and the security guard is sitting there right
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: right up against the barricade in a chair, and Ford
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: gets right up in his face. Basically, his crotch is
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: level with the security guard's face and he starts thrusting himself.
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: He's thrusting his pelvis into the security guard's face. He
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: is gyrating in this man's face. I think he was
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: trying to break him. And the security guy is just
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: looking at him and he's just kind of shaking his head.
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: He has no idea, you know what's going on here.
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: Dawkins is looking at Ford. He's got to look on
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: his face like, what the fuck are you doing? He
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: was on something. I don't know what was going on here.
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: So in the back after the break, Jackie Redman was
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: about to interview bron Breaker Austin theory logan. Yes, another
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: NDA is about to be signed here in WWE. We
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: already have a lot of them. We probably have somebody
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: more than we don't even know about. What's another non
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: disclosure agreement. But Jackie is about to interview the vision
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: when Paul Hayman shows up. He tells bron Breaker, don't
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: worry about that. Spear through the barricade a few weeks ago,
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: tell Breaker, you didn't even take out seth Rollins. Then
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: he looked at Austin Theory and he said, you you
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: didn't even take out Joe Hendry, as if they can't
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: bury Joe Hendry any more than they already have with
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: the way he's been used tag team titles. He says
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: street profits. He says, come back with something worthy of
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: your wise men, or don't come back to me at all,
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: and he walked off. Late in the match, the Prophets
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: hit the Doomsday blockbuster to Theory. Bron Breaker broke up
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: the pen attempt that followed. Logan Paul was out there
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: and he tried to pass the brass knucks to Theory.
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: Referee was right there, so the referee caught him. Referee
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: put his foot on the knucks and he went to go,
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: uh remove them. But it was all a decoy because
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: Logan passed another set of knucks to bron Breaker. Dawkins,
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: though was able to get them before he could use them.
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: He was about to use them on Theory, referee was distracted.
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: I don't remember exactly where the referee was at this
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: exact moment, but Maxine Dupre crawls into the ring from
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: behind Angelo Dawkins and delivers a low blow and Austin
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: Theory then covers Dawkins one two three, and the Vision
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: are once again the world Tag Team Champions. Bron Breaker
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: is yet again a tag teamampion, as if he needs
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: that tag team champion with Austin Theory. As they're leaving,
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: they're in the isleway, Maxine races over, the Theory jumps
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: up in his arms, and they start making out. They
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: are swamping spit. They're smooching right there in the isleway.
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: So they're the new it couple, I guess in WWE,
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: And again the focus was on Theory in Maxine, focus
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: was not on bron Breaker here. That's why I said
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: bron Breaker just felt like a bit player in the
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: background here. So the Street, you know, we talk about
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: Sammy Zain being the WWE Champion for nine days. The
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: Street profits, they got the titles for two weeks, and
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: now the Vision has the belts back, which means, unfortunately
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: they are not being disbanded anytime in the near future,
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: which is terrible. That's a double whammy of suck right there,
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: because this is not a group that needs to be
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: together anymore. As far as Maxine finally going heel, I'll
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: say this, this may be the best role for her.
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: She may excel in this role. I'd rather see her
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: in this role than have her back in the ring
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: attempting to have you know, matches every single week that
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: are not going to be very good because she's just
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: not getting enough time in the ring to improve and
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: get better at the rate that she would need to.
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: This might be a role that she excels in. I'm
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: just happy they paid off all of these little, you know,
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: backstage teases and these little backstage segments that they've been
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: kind of dropping on us over the last few months.
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: At least we finally got some kind of payoff to it.
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: So it's the best I could say about that as
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: far at least as far as she goes. Not a
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: bad role for her to be in. I do wonder,
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: I do wonder if they got the Belts off the
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: street profits. Bianca bell Air I think is due any week.
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: Right when she when she showed up a WrestleMania, she
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: was six months alone, so she's probably due to give
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: birth very soon, and so I wonder if maybe that
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: played a role in them losing the Belts if we're
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: we're not going to be seeing the street profits on
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: TV for a bit. I know Angelo Dawkins and his wife,
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: they were also expecting their third child, I think, but
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: I don't think that's until September. But they both have
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: they both have you know, babies on the way. That
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: could have factored into you know, them getting the belts. Yeah,
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: let's put the belts on them and get them a
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: win and then get the belts off because they may
• 53:31
  Speaker 1: not be available soon. That's just my that's my Austin
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: theory about this. So anyway, there was a doctor in
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: the back who was checking on Cody and Adam Pierce
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: comes in and the doctor looks at Pierce and he goes, sorry,
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: I I can't I just I can't sign off on this.
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: I can't clear him. And Cody of course is like no, no, no, no,
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: I'm fine. I'm fine, I'm fine, And Pierce says, okay, look,
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: we have to get scans. Now. We have an ambulance outside.
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: Maybe we can get him to the ambulance. We can
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: do the scans here and let's see before you make
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: a final diagnosis or a final decision, let's get him
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: into the scans. And see what they say. And so
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: off they went. But it didn't look good Elsewhere in
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: the back, the Vision is in a very celebratory mood.
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: Logan Paul tells the other Vision members how happy he
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: is and proud he is of them. Paul Hayman shows up.
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: He says, that's a good first step. But it's only
• 54:31
  Speaker 1: a first step. But he admits, you know, maybe I'm
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: being too harsh. At least somebody accomplished something tonight in
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: Theory looks at him and goes, thank you, Paul, and
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: Hayman tells him, I wasn't talking about you, I was
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: talking about her, and off he goes. So Haman left
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: and then the other members of the Vision they got
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: into their suv. As soon as the suv pulled away,
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: that's when Otison tells Zawa SHOWEDO. They came running out.
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: They watched as the suv drove off. They were they
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: were crestfallen. They were devastated at this turn of events.
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: With Maxine Dupree, I can't wait until they confront her
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: next week, and she smacks the She pulls a Stephanie
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: McMahon and smacks the shit out of them. So yes,
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: the Alpha Academy is uh greatly dismayed at this turn
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: of events. A Melick Gayman screams for Kyrie, thank you
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: for the twenty bucks brother theory accomplishing something. Yes, you
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: had a good laugh at that, didn't you. Roderick oh
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: Man Alpha Academy Vision feud for the rest of the summer.
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: Why why, why why even bring that up up? Theory
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: is so much better as a babyfit. I don't disagree
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: with you on that. I think he's been miscast for
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: a while now. I thought, coming out of the Waller stuff,
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: we were gonna get a babyface, right, that would have
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: made a difference and worked. Who knows. I think he's
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: got a good babyface run in him, but they just
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: insist on keeping him as a heel. Now next week,
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: this is where they made the announcement on the show.
• 56:29
  Speaker 1: Next week, we're gonna be getting a gauntlet match to
• 56:34
  Speaker 1: crown a number one contender for Penta's Intercontinental title at SummerSlam.
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: And in this gauntlet we have Chad Gable, Dragonly Joe Hendry,
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: which means he's actually gonna get a fucking entrance next week.
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: Holy shit, I just realized his first official entrance, so
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: I'm not counting tonight. We'll get to him in a
• 56:56
  Speaker 1: little bit, but Joe Hendry will be in there, Javan Evans,
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: Dominic Mysterio, Ethan Page and Russev. One of those men
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: will challenge Penta for the intercontinental title of SummerSlam. There's
• 57:11
  Speaker 1: only one option here. They have one job. Don't fuck
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: this up. Jackie Redman interviewed the Intercontinental champion Penta, who
• 57:22
  Speaker 1: was interrupted by Ethan Page and Russev. Paige said that
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: Raymisterio is not going to be in the Gauntlet because
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: he's on the shelf. After being in the ring with him,
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: what was it, Raymisterio just on the triple aishaw looking fine,
• 57:37
  Speaker 1: introducing Damian Priest. He looks okay to me. Wouldn't call
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: that on the shelf. So Dragon Lee showed up and
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: he told Paige, watch what you say about Ray. Russev
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: said that Dragon Lee better learn English or he would
• 57:54
  Speaker 1: squash him too. Chad Gable showed up, he got in
• 57:57
  Speaker 1: Russev's face, Page pulled Rusev. He said that they could
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: talk to Adam Pierce about making a tag team match tonight,
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: which actually ended up being up until the main event
• 58:10
  Speaker 1: was the best thing on the show in ring wise.
• 58:13
  Speaker 1: Obviously this ended up being number two best thing on
• 58:16
  Speaker 1: the entire show. But they set that matchup for a
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: little bit later on in the night. And oh, my goodness,
• 58:25
  Speaker 1: we have got another goal unlocked. You guys got to
• 58:32
  Speaker 1: help me keep track of this. You guys have already earned.
• 58:36
  Speaker 1: You guys have earned five. God got five rounds to go.
• 58:39
  Speaker 1: My goodness, Oh my god. Soul Ruka, let's talk about
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: Soul Ruca against Raquel Rodriguez for the Women's Intercontinental Championship.
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: Soul missed the moon, salt to the floor, landed on
• 58:53
  Speaker 1: her feet, though then she hit a springboard twisting body
• 58:57
  Speaker 1: press onto Raquel, who was on the floor. Back in.
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: Soul flipped out of a choke's limb attempt, but she
• 59:02
  Speaker 1: got wasted, I mean absolutely wasted. Holy shit, this clothes line.
• 59:10
  Speaker 1: She got wrecked by a clothes line by Raquel, and
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: that took us into a commercial break. They showed a
• 59:16
  Speaker 1: slow mow replay of it. Man, it looked it looked brutal.
• 59:23
  Speaker 1: So Roxanne Perez showed up late in the match. She
• 59:26
  Speaker 1: got up on the apron to distract the referee. Meanwhile,
• 59:29
  Speaker 1: Lived Morgan tripped up Soul on the ropes when she
• 59:32
  Speaker 1: went for a soul snatcher. Raquel then dropped Soul with
• 59:36
  Speaker 1: a side slam that was a good in near fall.
• 59:38
  Speaker 1: I thought she might have it there. Eo Sky's music
• 59:41
  Speaker 1: hit and she came from the crowd to take out
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: Perez and Morgan. She got Raquel's attention briefly as she
• 59:48
  Speaker 1: was standing on the apron, and when Raquel charged at her,
• 59:53
  Speaker 1: Eo hit an Asaii moonsol and she wiped out the
• 59:57
  Speaker 1: other two members of the judgment day out on the floor.
• 59:59
  Speaker 1: It all always scares me when she does that, especially
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 1: when she does it on the side where the announcers are.
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 1: You know, I don't like that. You got that podium
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 1: there with the belt, you got the edge of the
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 1: announced desk. She always comes like so close to it.
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 1: She's gonna hit the back of her head on there.
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 1: One day, so she took them out, and then Soul
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 1: came out of nowhere and hit the soul snatcher to
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 1: put it away. I like how the camera angle for
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: this was zoomed out in the event that she fucks
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 1: up the move. I'm almost positive that's why they did that.
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 1: But she didn't fuck it up, she nailed it, and
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 1: she retains her championship. This was a solid match here
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 1: from these two. You know, if Soul was not so
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 1: early into her reign as champion, because she's had the
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 1: belt since what clash in Italy, I believe, so it's
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 1: been a little over a month, as sammy' zane weeps somewhere,
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 1: but she's still very early into this run. I would
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 1: say put the belt on Raquel, but the timing just
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 1: isn't right for it. I don't think the timing is
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 1: right anyway for this story that they seem to be telling.
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 1: What the Judgment Day. I always think like things are
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 1: going to finally blow up between Live and Raquel. And
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 1: the thing with the Judgment Day is they just they
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 1: drag everything out. Everything is just dragged out until it
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 1: either doesn't happen or it doesn't mean anything. And the
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 1: Judgment Day has been around now for literally for years.
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 1: I mean, you talk about a faction that has outlived
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 1: its usefulness. It was very useful for a while, very
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 1: very beneficial to Damian Priest where Ripley dom JD McDonough Raquel.
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 1: I think Raquel really benefited, you know, from being a
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 1: part of this crew. I mean it benefited Live. I
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 1: don't know that Live needed it per se. But again
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: it's it's mostly a women's faction. Now you know you
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 1: got Dom and you got JD and that's it, and
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 1: it's like all right, it's kind of like running on
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 1: fumes now. So we highlights of the brockles Ner Oba
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 1: Femi stuff from the show last week. When Obo was
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 1: about to talk about which championship he was going to
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 1: challenge for at Summerslim. Oh, psych, there will be no
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 1: title match for him at Summer Slim. He will challenge
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 1: brock Lesnar inside hell in his cell. So fuck the
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 1: King of the Ring. We come back live after a break.
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 1: Paul Hayman is already in the ring. He's by himself.
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 1: He says, I'm out here to talk about now. I
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 1: gotta say it the way he says it, Oba fem me.
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 1: I love how Hayman talks to us like we're all
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 1: four years old. He's been doing this for years. We're
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 1: all toddlers. So he has to over enunciate every single
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 1: word and stretch for time as he cuts these promos.
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 1: Paul Haman is the best guy you could possibly send
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 1: out there to do promos in WWE because he I mean,
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 1: he could talk all night, but he doesn't even have
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 1: to have a lot to say. He just says it
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 1: really really slow, you know, and pauses a lot. So
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 1: he's out here talk about Oba Femi. Oba came into
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 1: WWE like he owns the joint, which he does. He
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 1: saunters down the aisle like he's King Schlong. That's what
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 1: he called him, King Schlong until he got punted in
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 1: the Little Femis by brock Lesnar. But the bad news
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 1: for Oba is that's nothing compared to the pain he's
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 1: going to suffer inside hell in a cell. Yes, Aaron
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 1: says Paul Hayman's promos are at zero point five speed.
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 1: It's a good point. They are. They are at half speed.
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 1: And lives in a relationship. So she's breaking up with
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 1: Dom on TV, guarantee, What does that have to do
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 1: with anything? You know, how many people are in relationships
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 1: on TV and real life at the same time. That
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 1: doesn't mean anything, Maxine dupre I think she might be married.
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 1: If not, I know, she's definitely in a relationship. And
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 1: there she is on TV. She's, you know, playing tonsil
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 1: hockey with Austin theory doesn't mean anything. They'll keep LIVDM
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 1: together for another year if they want to. So. Obafemi,
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 1: he says, has inspired Brocklesner. Obafemi has compelled the beast
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 1: to emerge from brock Lesner. Obafemi has motivated brock Lesner.
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 1: He has made Oba has the biggest mistake of his
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 1: life by accepting this challenge. You're not coming out of
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 1: helen a cell. He said, no way, no how, brock
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 1: Lesner will destroy Obafemi inside Helen is cell. And then
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 1: he flipped his mic like he was about to leave.
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 1: So again he said nothing. He said nothing in this promo.
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 1: He's about to leave and the lights go out. Oba
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 1: comes out and he struts down to the ring and
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 1: he said he felt bad for Paul. He wanted to
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 1: at least give him a face that he could talk
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 1: to when he's out here. Hayman said, Oba learned last
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 1: week talk shit, get hit, but he'll talk facts. You
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 1: know why I'm valuable because I prevent people from making
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 1: bad mistakes. Not at WrestleMania, he said, at WrestleMania, you
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 1: prove to the world that brock Lesner is beatable. And
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 1: then in Italy, brock Lesner proved that Oba Femi is
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 1: also beatable. So now comes the trilogy match, and they
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 1: have to find out which one of them goes on
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 1: to be that unbeatable superstar, even though they've both already
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 1: been beaten. So let's examine who's stepping into the cell.
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 1: He says, Oba is stepping into the cell with Brock Lesner,
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 1: who was a UFC heavyweight champion. There's no one who
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 1: fights in a cage like Brock Lesner. He ended the
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 1: Undertakers on defeated streak at WrestleMania. Undertaker the man who
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 1: invented hell and his cell, and Brock didn't just beat
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 1: him once inside the cell, he beat the Undertaker twice
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 1: inside hell cell. Oba didn't accept a challenge for a
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 1: cage or for a cell. That cell is the broctagon,
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 1: and inside that broctagon, Lesner is the bringer of pain,
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 1: the beast Oba cannot beat, the mountain that Oba cannot climb.
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 1: Only one man will leave SummerSlam with that reputation intact
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 1: that he is truly the unbeatable superstar in WWE, and
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 1: that man is Brock Lesner. And the beatable one is
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 1: going to be Oba Femi. And again Hayman chucked the microphone,
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 1: Oba said. Brock Lesner showed up last week. After weeks
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 1: of Oba calling him out and calling him names, Brock
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 1: finally shows up. He says, that tells me that every
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 1: word that I said got to him, every single thing
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 1: I said about him got under his skin. And now
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 1: he can pretend like he doesn't watch the show. The
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 1: fact that he showed up tells me he definitely watches
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 1: the show. Uh oh, but I got news for you.
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 1: He don't watch the show. He definitely doesn't watch the show.
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 1: But then Hayman here is doing his usual damage control,
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 1: and he's writing all of these checks that Brock probably
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 1: can't even cash. Hayman is less than an advocate. He's
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 1: just a mouth. And that's the thing about a mouth.
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 1: Mouths need to be fed, But how can you feed
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 1: one if you have no head. I don't know if
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 1: he was trying to rhyme here. I have some Doctor
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 1: Seuss shit going on here. He's out here talking about
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 1: Randy Catore and the Undertaker when neither of those men
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 1: are Oba Femi. Hayman is scared. Every man knows when
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 1: his time has come, whether it's the beginning or the end,
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 1: and he goes, trust me, Paul, this is the end.
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 1: This is the final chapter. This is where the book closes.
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 1: And what bigger stage to do it than summerslim in
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 1: Minneapolis in front of his friends, in front of his family,
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 1: in front of Brock's wife. He'll beat him in front
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 1: of his children. And he's learned a very valuable lesson.
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 1: You have to walk through hell to get to heaven.
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 1: So tell your client, I'll see him in hell. So
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 1: good promo, the Hayman stuff, by Hayman's standards, was very
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 1: paint by numbers. OPA's a very good promo. It's one
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 1: thing that he has showed on the main roster this year.
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 1: You know, he doesn't come across as being timid. He doesn't,
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 1: you know, seem to get nervous or lose his train
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 1: of thought or trip over his words or anything like that.
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 1: He's very he's very focused. He brings a level of
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 1: intensity to his promos that not everybody does. And again,
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 1: he's a very intimidating guy to look at if you're
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 1: in the ring with him, right, I mean, you might
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 1: shit a brick if a guy like that was getting
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 1: really really pissed off at you, Right, he plays the
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 1: part well, he carries himself well, so I thought this
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 1: was good. Now brock is going to be back on
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 1: the show next week, so we'll see, you know, if
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 1: there's any sort of physical interaction or do we just
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 1: get another very basic, you know, Paul Hayman Brock Lesnar promo.
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 1: If you've seen one, you pretty much seen most of them.
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 1: I thought when Lesner was on the show last week,
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 1: not that he had a ton to say, but I
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 1: actually thought his delivery and everything was one of the
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 1: better Brock Lesnar promos that I've ever seen, which is
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 1: wild considering how long he's been around for. We'll see
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 1: what he does on the show next week. At least
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 1: they'll be back in the same building. In the back,
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 1: Sammy's ain was taping up his fists. He was getting
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 1: ready for the main event tonight. Jackie Redman broke the
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 1: news to him that it's now been confirmed Cody Rhoades
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 1: will not be medically cleared for the main event. Sammy
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 1: was shocked. His mouth was a gape. He asked her,
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 1: is he really out? He goes that's terrible. I was
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 1: looking forward to testing myself against QB one, but he
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 1: goes this night. Honestly felt cursed from the start, and
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 1: to to be honest with you, I'm not sure why
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 1: I had to defend my title on raw to begin with.
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 1: So it's best to wait until Friday and we'll regroup.
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 1: Adam Pierce walks in, he tells him, we promised the
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 1: fans in Chicago a championship match, and that's what we're
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 1: going to give them. So it is official. And so
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 1: at that point you could hear the CM Punk Chance
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 1: ring out inside the arena. It was it was very
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 1: clear where this was headed. And the fans of the building,
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 1: they were here for it, they were waiting for it.
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 1: We had Chad Gable and Dragon Lee against Ethan Page
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 1: and Russev. We got Rusev day chance. Who chanced that anymore?
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 1: Why are we getting Rusev day chance in twenty twenty six?
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 1: So there was a crazy spot here ahead of the
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 1: commercial break where Gable gave Dragon Lee an overhead belly
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 1: to belly out of the ring and he wiped out
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 1: russevn Page on the landing outside the heels got the
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 1: heat on Gable for a while until he made the
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 1: hot tag to Dragonly Lee caught a Page with a
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 1: tornado DDT. At one point, he missed the ropes as
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 1: he was trying to push off the ropes. He missed him,
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 1: and somehow he was able to build up enough momentum
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 1: to spin around and hit the DDT anyway. Lee hung
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 1: Page upside down and then came off the top with
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 1: a double stomp. Things broke down at this point. Gable
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 1: caught Page with an angle slam, Russev hit him with
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 1: a Machka kick. Dragon Lee caught Russev with a snap German.
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 1: He came off the top rope. Russev caught him on
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 1: the way down and planted him with a Urinagi. Russev
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 1: hit him Maschka kick and then locked in the accolade
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 1: and Dragonly very quickly tapped out. I can't believe that
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 1: Russev won a match. See, I should give that. I'm
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 1: not gonna do it, but I should. I should give
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 1: this the the air horn for that alone, Russev actually
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 1: won a match on TV. It's pretty transparent why that is.
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 1: They want you to believe that he is going to
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 1: be the monster that's just gonna tear through this gauntlet
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 1: next week, so it's like, oh, we better give him
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 1: a wing on TV. We better give this guy some credibility.
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 1: We haven't been doing much of that lately, so at
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 1: least here they made him look like a monster. He
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 1: won the match. When the match was over, he refused
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 1: to release the hold. Gable came in. He tried to
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 1: help break it up. Ethan Page jumped Gable, russev denlock
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 1: Gable and the Accolade, but Joe Hendry ran out to
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 1: make the save. Now they played his music. He came
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 1: out from the back. He raced down to the ring.
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 1: This is not a proper entrance, but it's the closest
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 1: thing to an actual entrance that Joe Hendry has been
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 1: given since he debuted on this show a few months ago.
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 1: It's the first time that I can remember his music
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 1: actually being hit and him coming out. It's July. I
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 1: don't know why it took this long, but he ran
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 1: down to the ring. He got inside, and he very
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 1: quickly got overwhelmed. I mean he got a few moves off,
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 1: he did the fallaway slam. They did the camera zoom
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 1: in on him. He was setting up for I think
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 1: the standing ovation. I don't know. It almost looked like
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 1: he was gonna give him a rock Bottom or something.
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 1: But anyway, he got overwhelmed and he ended up being
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 1: trapped in the accolade as well. This was a good match,
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 1: like this was a good tag team match. They kept
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 1: Russev strong because he's in this gauntlet next week and
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 1: he clearly is going to be the destroyer. Right, He's
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 1: not going to win. But if let's say Gable, who
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 1: I think Gable should open the gauntlet. I mean Gable
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 1: should be one or two, but they have seven guys
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 1: in this gauntlet. If Gable is anything but one or two,
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 1: I think it's a mistake. You I think would want
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 1: him to work from underneath and have to overgo maybe
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 1: not number one necessarily doesn't have to be number one,
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 1: but he should have to overcome a shit ton of
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 1: adversity in this gauntlet, and he'll have to run through
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 1: Russev at some point. They just wanted to build him
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 1: up strong. But again, there's only one option for this gallet.
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 1: It's gotta be Gable, Gotta be get That could be
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 1: his new catchphrase, It's gotta be Gable. You get one
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 1: shot at this Minneapolis SummerSlam, the title that he could
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 1: never win, right, Seamus will never get his moment, Chad
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 1: Gable should get his for the IC title and plus
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 1: Chad Gable and Penta is a singles match at Summer Slam.
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 1: Is fucking awesome. That was Pentce's first match on TV
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 1: when he debuted was against Gable. Talk about a full
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 1: circle moment. What a great match that would be. We
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 1: got highlights of La Knight beating Jimmy Usso on Raw
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 1: last week with an unexpected assist from Solo Socoa, and
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 1: then they showed the super kick from earlier tonight when
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 1: Jimmy's superkick Knight in the face backstage live. Jackie Redman
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 1: is actually outside the building. She's racing to catch up
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 1: with Jimmy as he was leaving, and she asked him
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 1: what kind of message were you trying to send? And
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 1: Jimmy said, it's time for Big Jim to step up
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 1: for the Bloodline. He's going to go to SmackDown to
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 1: get his hands on Solo Soca. La Knight could be
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 1: seen coming out of the building. He's in the background.
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 1: He's coming towards Jimmy. Before he could get to him, though,
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 1: he gets cut off by Jacob Fatu who comes from
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 1: out of nowhere and he lays Night out on the ground.
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 1: Jimmy and Jacob they left together, clearly operating on the
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 1: same page. So it looks like La Night he's gonna
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 1: need some help if he wants to fight back here
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 1: against the Bloodline and enter Solo's Socoa and enter Royce Keys.
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 1: That's what we're gonna get at SummerSlam. We're gonna get
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 1: a six man tag team match because La Knight and
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 1: Solo Socoa they're all by themselves even though they want
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 1: to have anything to do with each other, right strange.
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 1: Speaking of strange, strange, strange bedfellows, that's going to be
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 1: a tag team at Summerslin. They're gonna wrestle Jacob Fatu
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 1: and the Ussos. It's not official yet. By the way,
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 1: I may as well mention this here. No jay Usso
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 1: on this show. He is dealing with a personal matter
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 1: that broke today on TMZ, so you can look that
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 1: up if you care to do so. But no yeat
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 1: for jay Uso. We had a video promo from Bailey
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 1: where she talked about how Lyra Valkyria waited in line
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 1: for hours to meet her when she was younger, and
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 1: they even had the photo Lyra became her best friend
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 1: and was there for her during one of the toughest
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 1: years of her career. Helped her become the best version
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 1: of herself every single week. She never questioned Lyra's trust
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 1: and wanted to help her. They couldn't have an honest conversation.
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 1: She took the easy way out. Bailey is gonna give
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 1: Lyra one chance to show that she's not like everybody
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 1: else and meet her in the ring next week. And
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 1: so for RAW next week in Dallas, they have announced.
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 1: This always pops me when they do this. Roman Reigns returns.
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 1: How many returns are we up to over the past
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 1: year for Roman Reigns, Like he misses one week, maybe two,
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 1: and then he's back and it's like the return of
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 1: Roman Raigns, the return of Roman Reigns. I mean, he
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 1: hasn't been gone for that long, the return of Roman Reigns.
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 1: So he'll return again next week. Braka Lesner will also
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 1: be back. That'll be in Houston. We have the Gauntlet,
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 1: as I mentioned, and then we have Roxane Perez is
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 1: gonna wrestle Eo Sky and I guess Bailey is going
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 1: to wait for Lyra Valkyria to come out to confront her,
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 1: and we'll get our first real opportunity to see Lyra
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 1: like in a live in ring promo setting as a heel.
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 1: I'm very curious if she's got the chops to be
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 1: a heel. I don't know the WWE is going to
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 1: really give her the opportunity to really run with it.
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 1: They're not giving her a whole lot of TV time
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 1: to begin with. I don't see Lyra as a heel.
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 1: I would like to see if she can make this work.
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 1: I'm curious what kind of heel she's going to portray.
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 1: In the back, Nick all this walked up to Adam Pears,
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 1: he's still hanging around, said that I placed a phone
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 1: call to a certain someone while you're off talking to nobody,
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 1: and I found a replacement for Cody Rhoades in the
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 1: main event tonight. That superstar is in the building right now.
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 1: All Adam needs to do is say you're welcome. And
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 1: that led into our main event and the Champion entered first,
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 1: his one and only entrance for a match as the
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 1: WWE Champion. I hope he soaked it up. I hope
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 1: he enjoyed it. As he made his way down to
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 1: the ring, it was Sammy's saying. He gets in the ring,
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 1: the music stops. Who's it gonna be? Chance? Ring out
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 1: in the arena of CM Punk. They cut to the
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 1: back and of course it is cmpunk. He was standing
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 1: outside the arena, like right where the SUVs and everything
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 1: come down the ramp and pull into the building. I
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 1: think the door was down and they kind of raised
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 1: the garage door and he's standing there in his wrestling gear,
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 1: no music, and he starts to walk through the back.
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 1: Finally they hit his music. Everybody in the building is
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 1: losing their minds. He comes out just an electric entrance
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 1: place going nuts. His first appearance since the Raw after WrestleMania,
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 1: and they're in Chicago. So he gets in the ring
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 1: and things got a little salty. Sammy got up in
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 1: his face, he kind of face washed him. Referee had
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 1: to get in between them. He took the championship, he
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 1: held it up for all all to see, rang the bell,
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 1: and the crowd was just again. They were molten hot
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 1: here for the beginning of this match. And this is
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 1: where I noticed, Oh shit, they got the pyro set
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 1: up on stage. They're not setting the pyro up for
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 1: sam Be's aying to retain the WWE title. So right there,
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 1: I mean, if I didn't already know, right there, I
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 1: knew this is not gonna end well for Sammy's ain,
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 1: it is. It is preordained. So for those curious, for
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 1: those who may not have seen the show yet, you
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 1: remember there were a lot of stories about CM Punk
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 1: and his physical condition and Jim photos going around from
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 1: people who were just being creepers and taking pictures of
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 1: him at the gym without him knowing, talking about oh
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 1: my god, Punk is swollen. Man. Look at Punk. He's
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 1: all jacked up. He's on steroids, this guy. But we
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 1: know what he's been doing in his time off. And
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 1: it was just soberdging and I said, wait until Punk
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 1: comes back. And he doesn't look really any different than
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 1: he did the last time we saw him. I can't
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 1: tell you he looks. He doesn't look like fucking Bruce Banner. Okay,
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 1: he doesn't look radically different. He's in good shape. He
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 1: clearly has not just been sitting at home on the
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 1: couch eating ice cream for the past two months. He's
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 1: been putting the work it. He's in good shape. Nothing outrageous,
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 1: nothing like all these dingbats online. Oh he's uh, you know,
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 1: he's shooting up. You know, he's a wrestler who's in
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 1: good shape. News at eleven there was a commercial break
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 1: here in the middle of his main event, and after
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 1: the break, Punk was looking for the GTS. Sammy slipped
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 1: out standing switched by Punk into a big clothesline, and
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 1: I mean he reached deep for that one. Only got
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 1: a two count loud cm Punk chance as he made
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 1: the slow climb up to the top, Sammy, they'll cut
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 1: him off, and Samy took him down with a massive superplex.
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 1: This then took us into a second commercial break in
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 1: the middle of this main event. And I'm like, dude,
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 1: they have got to do I have no problem with
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 1: there being ads. It's kind of the necessary evil. I
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 1: get it. You got to do a better job of
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 1: spreading this shit out, like you can't be doing this
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 1: during your main events. You know, you got a two
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 1: and a half hour show here. This is your main event.
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 1: I'm sure that, And maybe it would make things a
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 1: little miserable in other parts of the show if you
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 1: had to move things around. If they even have control
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 1: over it, I don't know, But in the middle of
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 1: the main event, dude, like come on, man, come on.
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 1: I will say this. It is one thing I will
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 1: always give Russo credit for because he's talked about this before.
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 1: And it's true if you think back to those main
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 1: events in the Attitude era, and we had some big
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 1: television matches in the Attitude era on TV, and it's
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 1: not like those shows didn't have commercials. Very rarely, if ever,
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 1: did they have commercials during the main event. And I
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 1: think he even said, like to the extent that he
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 1: had any sing in the matter, because he wasn't a
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 1: TV guy. He would make sure there were no main
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 1: event breaks like you have big like Stone Cold Undertaker
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 1: main event. They weren't going to fucking commercial in the
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 1: middle of the match, you know what I mean. Like,
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 1: there were just some matches that you should not constantly
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 1: be interrupting, and I just wish they would do a
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 1: better job of spreading it out. Now. Look, I I'm
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 1: using the ExpressVPN, so I can see what goes down
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 1: during the commercial breaks, but it's still ridiculous for the
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 1: people who don't. Sammy came off the ropes. This was
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 1: during the break. Came off the ropes and Punk Drop
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 1: kicked him out of mid air on the way down.
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 1: Then Punk came off the top with a high cross
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 1: body for a near fall, and then the two of
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 1: them had a collision, ribs first coming off the ropes
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 1: at the same time just as the break ended. So
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 1: when they came back live, both men were down. I
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 1: just realized I used the word collision when I was
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 1: talking about CM Punk here, and now Sammy's Ain is
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 1: banned from collision? Is that joke still still things? Is
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 1: that joke still work in twenty twenty six. So now
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 1: they're slugging it out from their knees. Now they're on
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 1: their feet. He's going for a GTS but nope, Slammy Slammy.
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 1: Well I like that Slammy's Ain. He elbows his way out.
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 1: He went for a blue thunderbomb that got stuffed. Punk
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 1: hit the step up knee in the corner. He was
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 1: going for the running Bulldog, but Sammy turned it into
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 1: a blue thunderbomb for a near fall, and it didn't
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 1: look pretty. He had to really muscle him up for
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 1: that one, but he did land it. So then there
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 1: was another step up knee by Punk and he hit
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 1: the running Bulldog. Now Punk races to the top in
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 1: his Hitman colors, as Michael Cole said, and he hit
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 1: the very un hit man like diving elbow. Brett. To
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 1: be fair, there were times where Brett would hit a
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 1: diving elbow from the middle rope. I mean he did
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 1: the okay, So to be fair, he did the diving
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 1: elbow from the middle rope in pretty much every match,
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 1: and then he would do it in a different way
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 1: where you knew he was gonna miss it. I never
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 1: saw Brett hard hit an elbow off the top rope.
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 1: That's something that was not in his arsenal. That was
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 1: very unhit man like. But he came off with the
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 1: diving top rope elbow. Now, the Anacon device is locked
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 1: in and I'm just I'm watching this. I'm going reach,
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 1: reach Sammy, reach, and he's in the middle of the
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 1: ring so there's nothing to really reach for it. He's
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 1: flailing around and I'm like, don't tell me, they're gonna
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 1: have him fucking tap to the anacon device. But he
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 1: uses his legs, he wraps him around Punk's head to
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 1: break free. Punk did go for a sharpshooter Sammy, though
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 1: very quickly, you know, he fought out of that. So
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 1: here comes the GTS, but no again, Sammy slips out.
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 1: He got the same roll up now on Punk that
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 1: he used to pin Cody to win the championship in Riod,
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 1: but this time he only got a close two count
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 1: out of it, so that was a very good near fall.
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 1: So again GTS no. Sammy gets Punk up on his
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 1: shoulders and he hits the GTS flush. Sammy covers Punk
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 1: kicks out. Punk ended up down in the corner. Fans
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 1: are booing because they know what's coming up next. Sammy
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 1: is setting up for the halluva kick. Punk catches him though,
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 1: as he charges in and he hits a Sammy move.
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 1: He hits an exploder into the corner. Now we have
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 1: CM Punk in the opposite corner and he is setting
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 1: up for something. He's setting up for a halluva kick
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 1: of his own. Sammy though, catches Punk with another GTS.
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 1: He nails it in to a blue thunderbomb and he's
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 1: got him pinned and Punk kicks out. Punk kicked out
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 1: of a GTS Blue Thunderbomb combo, and I'm like, what
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 1: am I watching him? I feel like I'm watching aew
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 1: Sammy starts ripping off the wrist tape. Now he smacks Punk,
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 1: smacks him a second time. He smacks him across the
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 1: face for a third time. He's telling him, I'm the champ.
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 1: Now do you understand that I'm the champ. Now he's
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 1: punching Punk. Punk now has a bloody mouth. Now Punk
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 1: is pissed, and he starts the fireback another step up knee.
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 1: Then Punk runs into the opposite corner. Sammy, though followed
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 1: him in, but Punk moved out of the way when
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 1: Sammy went for the hallula kick. Punk comes in though,
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 1: He nails a hallula kick of his own, and then
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 1: comes the go to sleep. All it took was one
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 1: although to be fair, he hits Sammy with his own
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 1: finisher first, then he hit his own and then he
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 1: covered him and he gets the one, two, three and
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 1: CM Punk for the eighth time in his career is
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 1: world champion. I say eighth time in his career, not
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 1: counting aew is an eight time champion, because now this
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 1: is his third I believe, right, third WWE championship. And
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 1: I want to say, the original version, the OG version
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 1: of the World Heavyweight title, did he hold that three times?
• 1:28:31
  Speaker 1: And then I think the most recent version twice? Right,
• 1:28:34
  Speaker 1: So that adds up to eight. I believe that's what
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 1: they're counting. Michael Cole on commentary referred to Sammy Zane's
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 1: run as the shortest World Championship reign in five years.
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 1: He almost certainly had to mean WWE title, because we
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 1: have had World Heavyweight Championship reigns in the last five
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 1: years that are a lot shorter than this. Drew McIntyre WrestleMania, Hello,
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 1: oh cm Punk a year ago, not even a year ago.
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 1: It's summerslim. We beat Gun there. He got cashed in
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 1: on fucking five minutes later he lost the championship, So
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 1: in terms of the WWE title, that may well be
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 1: the case. Punk hops the barricade very reminiscent of what
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 1: we saw fifteen years ago in that very building Money
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 1: in the bank twenty eleven. After he beat John Cena, right,
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 1: he retreated over the barricade into the crowd, up into
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 1: the stands, swarmed by all of the Chicago fans and
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 1: celebrating with his people as they go off the air.
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 1: This was an incredible main event. The atmosphere, I mean,
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 1: even just as a match, forget the atmosphere for a second.
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 1: It was a fucking really good match. But then you
• 1:29:47
  Speaker 1: got a factor in just the energy and the building.
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 1: Of course, everybody they were dying to see Punk win
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 1: this belt, and they were hanging onto every near fall,
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 1: and it was just it was so good. It was
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 1: so good. That's why it's hard for me to be
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 1: too angry about anything or upset about it. I mean,
• 1:30:03
  Speaker 1: I am upset that, you know, Samy only had nine days.
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think that's bullshit. But what a great
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 1: fucking match to go out on, you know what I mean,
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 1: Like if this was gonna be his one and only
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 1: title defense, he went out in like the best possible
• 1:30:16
  Speaker 1: way in terms of en ring because probably wasn't gonna
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 1: have a better match than this. So I love the match.
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 1: There's the best match on Raw in a very long time.
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 1: But again, nine days, after ten years of chasing the
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 1: dragon and finally capturing the dragon, and then he dropped
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 1: it and just like that, it's gone and it ain't
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 1: coming back. Because I got news for you. I don't
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 1: see Samy's in winning this championship back. I don't. I don't.
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 1: I think they put the belt on him not just
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 1: to give him a moment, but in the process of
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 1: giving him a moment. It served a purpose, and the
• 1:30:58
  Speaker 1: purpose was to trans position that belt onto somebody else
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 1: for a much bigger program and a much bigger match
• 1:31:06
  Speaker 1: that they have in mind and the real money in
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 1: their eyes, and I'm not even saying they're wrong about this.
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 1: The real money here is in Punk and Cody, because
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 1: they are two of the biggest stars outside of Roman
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 1: Reigns in the entire company, and whatever order you want
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 1: to put them in, it's Roman, it's Cody, It's Punk.
• 1:31:24
  Speaker 1: Those are the three. Those are the three guys. And
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 1: you would hope in the next three years or less,
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 1: Frankly Oba, Femei, bron Breaker, at least those two, Jacob Fatu,
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 1: maybe Trick Williams, maybe his inn ring has to catch up,
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 1: but you would hope that we have some new faces
• 1:31:45
  Speaker 1: in the mix and we're not still talking in three
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 1: years about Roman Reigns, Cody Rhoades, brock Lesnar, CM Punk
• 1:31:52
  Speaker 1: hogging up the same fucking spots. The money match right
• 1:31:57
  Speaker 1: now to do is one that has not been done yet.
• 1:32:00
  Speaker 1: It's Cody Rhods and CM Punk and they've teased this
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 1: match off and on now for a few years. They've
• 1:32:04
  Speaker 1: had some backstage interactions. They had an in ring promo
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 1: after WrestleMania this year. It's very interesting to think about
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 1: is it just going to be straight Babyface against Babyface?
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 1: Is one guy gonna lean more into the heel role,
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 1: even if it's just for the one match. You know
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 1: who's going to play heel? Is there going to be
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 1: a heel turn? If so, who's it going to be.
• 1:32:27
  Speaker 1: We've seen Punk play heel. We know Punk could be
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 1: a heel. We haven't seen Cody in that spot since
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 1: he became the guy, right. I mean, we've had pass
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 1: versions of Cody star Dust and you know, the grooming tips,
• 1:32:41
  Speaker 1: like that's like a whole other person. That person doesn't
• 1:32:43
  Speaker 1: even exist anymore. This version, the American Nightmare version of
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 1: Cody Rhodes has yet to go heal and play bad
• 1:32:50
  Speaker 1: guy in ww A, and it would be very interesting
• 1:32:53
  Speaker 1: to see him in that role. It would freshen him
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 1: up in a way that I think he could definitely use.
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 1: But they've just got to have somebody there to take
• 1:33:01
  Speaker 1: that spot. I don't know that Punk is that guy,
• 1:33:05
  Speaker 1: not that he's not a big name, but ideally you
• 1:33:07
  Speaker 1: would replace Cody with somebody who can really take that spot.
• 1:33:10
  Speaker 1: Is the top babyface on the brand for the future.
• 1:33:14
  Speaker 1: You know, Punk punk is not the future. Do they
• 1:33:17
  Speaker 1: have another babyface who can kind of step into that role?
• 1:33:21
  Speaker 1: You know? On SmackDown right now? The answer is no,
• 1:33:23
  Speaker 1: they don't, So turn Cody heel at your own risk.
• 1:33:28
  Speaker 1: It's not like I wouldn't love to see it. But
• 1:33:31
  Speaker 1: what's the plan for SmackDown? If you do that, it
• 1:33:33
  Speaker 1: can't just be cmpunk. Who else are you going to
• 1:33:36
  Speaker 1: rely on or try to elevate or have in that spot,
• 1:33:40
  Speaker 1: lean on as the top babyface on Fridays and be
• 1:33:43
  Speaker 1: that guy. That's something they have to figure out is
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 1: who they want that person to be. If they can
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 1: figure that out. Fuck, I would love to see Cody
• 1:33:51
  Speaker 1: Rhods go heel. I would love to see what that
• 1:33:53
  Speaker 1: looks like. And maybe the fans will just sort of
• 1:33:58
  Speaker 1: naturally gravitate towards Punk. If they do punkin Cody, they
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 1: may boot Cody anyway because they like Punk just that much.
• 1:34:05
  Speaker 1: The dynamic will be very interesting. But you can't deny
• 1:34:07
  Speaker 1: that that is the biggest possible match they could do
• 1:34:10
  Speaker 1: right now on SmackDown. Unfortunately, that leaves Sammy's Ain't out
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 1: in the cold. Because if they don't include him in this,
• 1:34:16
  Speaker 1: if he's not involved in that match, to turn it
• 1:34:19
  Speaker 1: into a three way situation. I don't see another obvious
• 1:34:23
  Speaker 1: path for him to even be on the SummerSlam card
• 1:34:25
  Speaker 1: this year, and to go from winning the WWE Championship
• 1:34:29
  Speaker 1: at the end of June to literally not even a
• 1:34:34
  Speaker 1: full two months later, be completely left off the card
• 1:34:38
  Speaker 1: would be To call it a slap in the face
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 1: would not even be adequate. I don't even think that
• 1:34:43
  Speaker 1: those words are adequate enough to describe what a show
• 1:34:47
  Speaker 1: of disrespect that would be for someone who has really
• 1:34:50
  Speaker 1: elevated SmackDown in recent months, which is a shit show,
• 1:34:56
  Speaker 1: but elevated it in a way where if he wasn't there,
• 1:34:58
  Speaker 1: I don't know what the fuck I would be looking
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 1: at on that show. It's like the best thing on
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 1: SmackDown to look forward to every week. Johnny Gargano planking,
• 1:35:09
  Speaker 1: I mean, you tell me now. I guess you could
• 1:35:13
  Speaker 1: argue it's this occasional Ray Phoenix triple A cruiserweight title defense.
• 1:35:18
  Speaker 1: It's defending a championship that doesn't even belong on the
• 1:35:21
  Speaker 1: main roster, doesn't even it belongs to a different promotion.
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 1: You know, you try to pick and choose the things
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 1: that you like, and you look forward to the most.
• 1:35:29
  Speaker 1: Carmelo Hayes, let's get him going again, you know, Dragon
• 1:35:32
  Speaker 1: of hopefully they'll get him back soon wherever he's been.
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 1: I mean, my god, So of course it's great now
• 1:35:39
  Speaker 1: to have CM punk on SmackDown. Thank God. You know,
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 1: they could use that shot in the arm. Sammy just
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 1: doesn't fit into that, seemingly doesn't fit into that. We
• 1:35:51
  Speaker 1: know what the direction is going to be. But I
• 1:35:53
  Speaker 1: do think it's a missed opportunity. You could have had
• 1:35:55
  Speaker 1: title matches with Sammy where it's like man every night
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 1: that he's defending that belt be his last, but somehow
• 1:36:02
  Speaker 1: he finds a way to hang on. They didn't have
• 1:36:06
  Speaker 1: any interest in doing that. They never did. We know
• 1:36:09
  Speaker 1: that now, so it sucks. I do feel bad for
• 1:36:13
  Speaker 1: him that he never had a chance to really run
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 1: with it. I think that I think he would have
• 1:36:20
  Speaker 1: done fine. I understand people who were not a fan
• 1:36:22
  Speaker 1: of putting the belt on him. They don't like him,
• 1:36:24
  Speaker 1: they don't think he looks the part. They think it's unrealistic,
• 1:36:27
  Speaker 1: or you know, whatever their thoughts and opinions are on it.
• 1:36:32
  Speaker 1: But again, you can find examples of people over the
• 1:36:34
  Speaker 1: years that have held the championship in this company that
• 1:36:36
  Speaker 1: would fit the same mold, you know, and some of
• 1:36:40
  Speaker 1: those cases they did just fine. I have no doubt
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 1: that Sammy's ain could have carried the belt for a
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 1: couple of months. He got nine days. Now we'll see
• 1:36:52
  Speaker 1: what the Summer Slide match is going to be. For
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 1: his sake, I just hope they don't blow it off.
• 1:36:58
  Speaker 1: It's Saturday Night's main event, you know, because if they do,
• 1:37:02
  Speaker 1: then he ain't going to Summer Slim, not in anything
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 1: meaningful anyway. But it was a great main event. I
• 1:37:10
  Speaker 1: will say that. I will say that that was Monday
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 1: Night Raw kind of a big deal. With Punk being
• 1:37:19
  Speaker 1: back and now having the championship, that that certainly takes
• 1:37:22
  Speaker 1: things in a different direction than they were a week
• 1:37:24
  Speaker 1: ago when we were talking about this show. Well, we
• 1:37:29
  Speaker 1: blew past all of the early goals and you guys
• 1:37:34
  Speaker 1: were on fire, and I've lost track. I want to say,
• 1:37:39
  Speaker 1: we have five rounds. I believe it would be the
• 1:37:43
  Speaker 1: Sammy planking with Gargano at SummerSlam. You actually think Johnny
• 1:37:47
  Speaker 1: Gargano would get a Summer Slam match. What drugs are
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 1: you on? I want what he's having. Maybe they could
• 1:37:58
  Speaker 1: have a planking match. I may have to add that
• 1:38:01
  Speaker 1: stipulation to be the booker a planking match. At the
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 1: end of the day, it becomes a lot easier to
• 1:38:15
  Speaker 1: understand when you look at it from the perspective of
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 1: they go where the stars are, WWE and TKO. They
• 1:38:23
  Speaker 1: go where they feel the money is going to be,
• 1:38:26
  Speaker 1: and for their second biggest show of the year, the
• 1:38:28
  Speaker 1: money is going to be in CM Punk and not
• 1:38:31
  Speaker 1: Sammy's a. The money is going to be in CM
• 1:38:32
  Speaker 1: Punk against Cody Rhodes. Although you could have kept the
• 1:38:38
  Speaker 1: belt on Sammy and had him defending against Punk and
• 1:38:41
  Speaker 1: or Cody, they felt differently. They wanted that belt more
• 1:38:46
  Speaker 1: important to them to have the championship on Punk, even
• 1:38:49
  Speaker 1: though him just walking in and getting a title shot
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 1: is kind of ridiculous, But in their view, he's Cempunk,
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 1: so you can excuse it. And that's just the reality
• 1:39:03
  Speaker 1: of it, all right. So I think we're doing four.
• 1:39:08
  Speaker 1: I think it's four rounds of be the booker. You
• 1:39:11
  Speaker 1: guys will keep you posting on that. Hey, Joseph Stawer,
• 1:39:15
  Speaker 1: thank you brother for being with us. Tonight, A Happy
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 1: Monday to you as well. I did read through these
• 1:39:21
  Speaker 1: messages that you sent in earlier, because you were the first,
• 1:39:25
  Speaker 1: so I am aware of everything that you have written here.
• 1:39:28
  Speaker 1: I didn't actually not know about any of this. I
• 1:39:31
  Speaker 1: get my Batman updates from you on what's going on
• 1:39:35
  Speaker 1: with this new movie and some of these past trivia facts.
• 1:39:42
  Speaker 1: I did want to mention this one though, the nine
• 1:39:44
  Speaker 1: ninety nine I've mentioned to you before. I have not
• 1:39:48
  Speaker 1: seen the animated series, but I definitely want to watch
• 1:39:50
  Speaker 1: it before the clay Face movie comes out in October,
• 1:39:53
  Speaker 1: because apparently on the animated show, I think in the
• 1:39:56
  Speaker 1: first two or three episodes, right, they have a double
• 1:39:59
  Speaker 1: I think a double episode covering the clay Face character.
• 1:40:04
  Speaker 1: And apparently the new movie is based or inspired by
• 1:40:09
  Speaker 1: those episodes of Batman the animated series. So I would
• 1:40:14
  Speaker 1: like to check out the series at some point. It's
• 1:40:17
  Speaker 1: got a pretty high score too on IMDb. Yeah, Batman
• 1:40:24
  Speaker 1: the Animated Series. Happy eightieth birthday to sel Val. Are
• 1:40:26
  Speaker 1: you serious? Is Sylvester stallone eighty years old today? Oh?
• 1:40:32
  Speaker 1: My god? Eighty years old looking the way he does?
• 1:40:43
  Speaker 1: And eighty first for Bert, I didn't even know Bert
• 1:40:45
  Speaker 1: Ward was still alive. Today's the anniversary of Goldberg beating
• 1:40:53
  Speaker 1: Hogan at the Georgia Dome. I did mention that from
• 1:40:55
  Speaker 1: the very top of the review tonight, buy or sells
• 1:41:01
  Speaker 1: Sting against Hogan, it's star K ninety seven or Goldberg
• 1:41:04
  Speaker 1: against Hogan on Nitro? I mean, how is this even
• 1:41:06
  Speaker 1: a question? Joseph? Come on now, how is this even
• 1:41:10
  Speaker 1: a question? Are you kidding me? Goldberg and Hogan in
• 1:41:13
  Speaker 1: ninety eight is one of the best matches in the
• 1:41:15
  Speaker 1: history of the company, not because of anything that they
• 1:41:19
  Speaker 1: did in the ring per se, but just it is
• 1:41:21
  Speaker 1: truly one of the biggest, if not the biggest match
• 1:41:27
  Speaker 1: that they have ever done. Sting and Hogan meant more
• 1:41:30
  Speaker 1: to the by rate, but the match was fucking terrible. Obviously,
• 1:41:34
  Speaker 1: I'm selling on that. Do you remember when Raven had
• 1:41:40
  Speaker 1: his therapy sessions with his family on nitro? Sandman appeared
• 1:41:43
  Speaker 1: during the therapy session, says Raven's best for I actually
• 1:41:46
  Speaker 1: don't remember. I don't remember that. I don't remember Sandman
• 1:41:49
  Speaker 1: being there for that. Man Bain Bain's pretty high up
• 1:41:57
  Speaker 1: there on my list of Batman villas. Where I rank
• 1:42:01
  Speaker 1: him is probably something like maybe like four maybe anyway,
• 1:42:08
  Speaker 1: I hope you had a wonderful fourth a July solo
• 1:42:10
  Speaker 1: monster and have a blessed in safe day today you
• 1:42:13
  Speaker 1: as well, Joseph, I hope you had a happy fourth.
• 1:42:16
  Speaker 1: Philip Bowman was Swerves blade Job at Forbidden Door worse
• 1:42:20
  Speaker 1: than Eddie Guerrero's Judgment Day Blade Job? I would say
• 1:42:24
  Speaker 1: yes it was. It was quite disgusting how much blood
• 1:42:30
  Speaker 1: he and Osprey lost, but Swerves was much worse. Death side.
• 1:42:41
  Speaker 1: How does Sonic get a hold of the ladies. He
• 1:42:44
  Speaker 1: gives them rings? Gives them rings? The real CS two
• 1:42:52
  Speaker 1: with a nine ninety nine, with guys like new Day
• 1:42:54
  Speaker 1: and Shamous leaving due of refusing to accept a pay cut.
• 1:42:57
  Speaker 1: I wonder how long until names like Natty, miss is
• 1:43:00
  Speaker 1: It Truth, et cetera are either cut or asked to
• 1:43:03
  Speaker 1: take a pay cut. I would be willing to bet
• 1:43:06
  Speaker 1: that some of them have already been asked to take
• 1:43:08
  Speaker 1: a pay cut, and if they're still around, they probably
• 1:43:10
  Speaker 1: said yes. I'm sure there are talents that have said yes.
• 1:43:14
  Speaker 1: We hear about the ones that say no. That doesn't
• 1:43:17
  Speaker 1: mean that there aren't that have said yes, and they're
• 1:43:19
  Speaker 1: probably still making very good money. They're just making a
• 1:43:22
  Speaker 1: lot less than they used to make. But you know,
• 1:43:26
  Speaker 1: some of these people that have been working there for
• 1:43:28
  Speaker 1: so just so many years, they're probably making a lot
• 1:43:31
  Speaker 1: of money, to the point where even taking a forty
• 1:43:34
  Speaker 1: or fifty percent pay cut is more than they would
• 1:43:38
  Speaker 1: make pretty much anywhere else. We don't hear, but we
• 1:43:42
  Speaker 1: don't hear about the ones that said yes. We only
• 1:43:44
  Speaker 1: hear about the ones that say no. Uh gmb with
• 1:43:49
  Speaker 1: a fort ninety nine. I think the profits dropped the
• 1:43:52
  Speaker 1: titles is because Bianca and Dawk's wife are due soon.
• 1:43:57
  Speaker 1: I feel bad for bron though he's above this awful
• 1:44:00
  Speaker 1: faction he is. I just feel like it's it's just
• 1:44:04
  Speaker 1: diminishing him. Every week that goes by, it's just diminishing him.
• 1:44:09
  Speaker 1: It's beneath him. Thank you. Brother Rizzo says, yes, Sammy
• 1:44:22
  Speaker 1: lost the belt. He's very excited that Sammy's Ain is
• 1:44:24
  Speaker 1: no longer the champion. Death Side says Stan Stasiac, who
• 1:44:29
  Speaker 1: was also a Canadian, held the WWE championship for nine days. Interesting,
• 1:44:37
  Speaker 1: so Sammy's Ain is not the first Canadian to hold
• 1:44:40
  Speaker 1: the belt for nine days. Johnny Bernie says, for me,
• 1:44:43
  Speaker 1: the action is in the juice. He has this in quotations,
• 1:44:52
  Speaker 1: a quote from someone. He says, Yeah, we can tell
• 1:44:54
  Speaker 1: Big Papa Punk, Big Papa Punk crazy says, I laugh
• 1:44:59
  Speaker 1: my so off when Michael Cole said we are all
• 1:45:01
  Speaker 1: shocked at Punk's return. Well, I mean, Michael Cole is
• 1:45:06
  Speaker 1: an idiot, so he has said you kind of expect
• 1:45:10
  Speaker 1: that he's gonna say a lot of stupid shit on TV.
• 1:45:14
  Speaker 1: None of this should be surprising. Andre Jefferson. Actually, Johnny
• 1:45:22
  Speaker 1: Bernie says, watch Sammy end up on a crate like
• 1:45:24
  Speaker 1: Johnny for months? Oh my god, I hadn't thought about that.
• 1:45:27
  Speaker 1: What if Sammy's new gimmick is that he is so
• 1:45:30
  Speaker 1: depressed over losing the belt he's planking next to Gargano
• 1:45:33
  Speaker 1: every week. Andre Jefferson says, Triple H's booking is so atrocious.
• 1:45:43
  Speaker 1: We were so focused on Sammy. Who knew the street
• 1:45:46
  Speaker 1: profit Oh, who knew the street profits were about to
• 1:45:48
  Speaker 1: suffer the same thing. Well, I told you earlier why
• 1:45:54
  Speaker 1: I think they may have dropped the belts. I think
• 1:45:56
  Speaker 1: they may be going away soon. And if they do,
• 1:46:01
  Speaker 1: congrats to them. You have to go away. It's not
• 1:46:05
  Speaker 1: a bad reason to go away. Unlike Kyrie saying that
• 1:46:13
  Speaker 1: was a very bad reason that she went away. They
• 1:46:16
  Speaker 1: never even finished their own story. Death Sithe dropping some
• 1:46:26
  Speaker 1: bombs here. You've got a magenta bomb this guy. On Friday,
• 1:46:33
  Speaker 1: you mentioned that Punkin Austin a wrestlemanie of forty three
• 1:46:36
  Speaker 1: would be best in the world versus the best of
• 1:46:39
  Speaker 1: all time. All they need now is the best there is,
• 1:46:41
  Speaker 1: the best, there was, the best there ever will be
• 1:46:43
  Speaker 1: to be the moderator for the contract signing. I think
• 1:46:48
  Speaker 1: if he was asked, he would do it. I think
• 1:46:50
  Speaker 1: Punkin and Austin are probably two of his favorite people
• 1:46:54
  Speaker 1: in wrestling. But again, I see no need to do
• 1:46:59
  Speaker 1: the match. I see no need to do the match
• 1:47:01
  Speaker 1: at all. I was just asked the hypothetical. I said,
• 1:47:03
  Speaker 1: if you were going to do it, this is how
• 1:47:05
  Speaker 1: it should be builled and promoted. I think that ship
• 1:47:10
  Speaker 1: sailed a long time ago. Everyone's talking about wanting something new,
• 1:47:16
  Speaker 1: something fresh. I know, let's do Stone Cold and CM
• 1:47:20
  Speaker 1: punk your WrestleMania. Sure, fifteen years ago we got the
• 1:47:28
  Speaker 1: working Man. I love you, Solo Monster, he says in
• 1:47:32
  Speaker 1: the Jacob Fatu voice, Thank you, my friend. The working
• 1:47:36
  Speaker 1: man is always hard at work. Bucky freaking dent with
• 1:47:42
  Speaker 1: a five dollars super chat. When you hear the phrase
• 1:47:45
  Speaker 1: the Big Red Machine, do you think of Cain or
• 1:47:47
  Speaker 1: the Cincinnati Reds. I think of I think of that gum.
• 1:47:57
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, what was that gum? And they're red
• 1:48:02
  Speaker 1: and white. It was a brand of gum. I actually think, oh,
• 1:48:05
  Speaker 1: big Red duh. I think of big Red gum, and
• 1:48:13
  Speaker 1: then I think of Kane. Death Side says Drew McIntyre
• 1:48:18
  Speaker 1: won the WWE title in an empty warehouse at wrestle
• 1:48:21
  Speaker 1: Mania at thirty six, he failed to win it back.
• 1:48:23
  Speaker 1: At WrestleMania at thirty seven, he won the World Heavyweight
• 1:48:25
  Speaker 1: Championship and then had his moment immediately ruined at WrestleMania
• 1:48:30
  Speaker 1: of forty. It feels like they're giving Drew Nito's ten
• 1:48:34
  Speaker 1: year Wrestle Kingdom story arc with WrestleMania. Well, let us
• 1:48:40
  Speaker 1: hope that by the time we get to the payoff
• 1:48:42
  Speaker 1: for his arc, he can move a little bit better
• 1:48:44
  Speaker 1: than Nito does, because Nito is washed. You know what,
• 1:48:54
  Speaker 1: I just realized, if McIntyre is going to be back
• 1:48:56
  Speaker 1: soon and Sammy has nothing to do, he could just
• 1:48:58
  Speaker 1: lose to Drew McIntyre again. He can go like zero
• 1:49:01
  Speaker 1: for twelve. Death Site says, hopefully a baby Phace Drew
• 1:49:07
  Speaker 1: will win the WWE Championship in the WrestleMania of forty
• 1:49:10
  Speaker 1: six nine two main events, and his opponent should be Cody,
• 1:49:13
  Speaker 1: because I believe Drew was supposed to be the one
• 1:49:15
  Speaker 1: to de throne Roman and become the FOTC. If Cody
• 1:49:20
  Speaker 1: did not the FOTC, what does that mean the Sheltered Kid?
• 1:49:30
  Speaker 1: Remember the John Cena classic? Neither do? I? Yeah, whatever
• 1:49:36
  Speaker 1: happened to that? I mean, we were told it was
• 1:49:38
  Speaker 1: gonna happen at the end of the year, so I
• 1:49:39
  Speaker 1: guess they're they're working on it. Why did it need
• 1:49:44
  Speaker 1: to be announced so early in the year. They had
• 1:49:46
  Speaker 1: absolutely nothing planned out for it. It's like, quick, we
• 1:49:50
  Speaker 1: got to make the announcement. So then they go and
• 1:49:54
  Speaker 1: they have seen him make the announcement and they talk
• 1:49:57
  Speaker 1: about fan voting and stuff, and then a few weeks
• 1:50:00
  Speaker 1: ago I see seen as an interviews talking about how
• 1:50:02
  Speaker 1: we really have to figure out this fan voting concept
• 1:50:04
  Speaker 1: because I really don't want people to like hijacket and
• 1:50:09
  Speaker 1: troll the shit out of it. And I'm like, well,
• 1:50:12
  Speaker 1: why didn't you think this out before you went and
• 1:50:14
  Speaker 1: publicly announced that you were going to have fan voting.
• 1:50:26
  Speaker 1: Alexander says punk should wear an Uffa Lafa on SmackDown.
• 1:50:33
  Speaker 1: Now that's La Knight's gimmick. Spooky Electric thirty one, twenty one.
• 1:50:48
  Speaker 1: It wasn't until I saw an interview with Raimi Sebby
• 1:50:53
  Speaker 1: that I realized what a great character Sammy's saying. The
• 1:50:56
  Speaker 1: person and the wrestler are very different. He has created
• 1:50:59
  Speaker 1: a fabulous character, serious props. He tries to pay attention
• 1:51:06
  Speaker 1: to a lot of the like nuances, like he ever
• 1:51:09
  Speaker 1: listened to him talk about wrestling. He's very cerebral. He
• 1:51:15
  Speaker 1: clearly puts a lot of thought into what he does
• 1:51:17
  Speaker 1: and how he presents himself, even even when he was
• 1:51:21
  Speaker 1: doing the bloodline stuff. You know, the the honorary used
• 1:51:24
  Speaker 1: and all that. The sheltered kid. What is something that
• 1:51:32
  Speaker 1: WWE does all the time that makes no sense logically?
• 1:51:38
  Speaker 1: For example, I hate when the gms don't plan for
• 1:51:41
  Speaker 1: the fucking main events. Oh I hate when they are
• 1:51:47
  Speaker 1: hold on a second. The fresh Makers carry your mentos
• 1:52:02
  Speaker 1: always see this is why Sammy Zan lost the WWE Championship.
• 1:52:07
  Speaker 1: If he had one of these in the middle of
• 1:52:10
  Speaker 1: the match. Tonight with punk. He could have been like ah,
• 1:52:14
  Speaker 1: and then he could have just busted out his mentos
• 1:52:16
  Speaker 1: and he would have kept the title. He would have
• 1:52:18
  Speaker 1: figured out some ingenious way to like roll him up
• 1:52:22
  Speaker 1: or something and keep the belt. You need your mentos,
• 1:52:26
  Speaker 1: Hey Yuki Oh rules with the thirty dollars mentos the
• 1:52:30
  Speaker 1: fresh Maker super Chat. It's still one of my favorite
• 1:52:33
  Speaker 1: all time commercials. I said, I got to make a
• 1:52:36
  Speaker 1: super chat, thank you brother. But to go back to
• 1:52:47
  Speaker 1: the Sheltered Kid in his question here, I did a
• 1:52:50
  Speaker 1: whole video. It was a segment actually on the sound
• 1:52:52
  Speaker 1: of but I pulled the video for the YouTube channel,
• 1:52:55
  Speaker 1: so you should go check it out if you missed it.
• 1:52:56
  Speaker 1: This was months ago on Common Wrestling. Trappes that just
• 1:53:00
  Speaker 1: bug the shit out of me or just make me laugh,
• 1:53:03
  Speaker 1: So go check out that video. But like for example,
• 1:53:07
  Speaker 1: there are so many times on these shows where the
• 1:53:10
  Speaker 1: GM will make multiple matches throughout the night for the show.
• 1:53:15
  Speaker 1: Like it's one thing. If let's say you make one match,
• 1:53:18
  Speaker 1: there are legitimately weeks where like Nick all this usually
• 1:53:21
  Speaker 1: it's all this, but it could be Adam Pierce. They
• 1:53:25
  Speaker 1: will legitimately make three or four new matches in the
• 1:53:29
  Speaker 1: middle of the show, and it's like, did they not
• 1:53:32
  Speaker 1: have anything planned? Who got bumped? Do they just sit
• 1:53:38
  Speaker 1: around all week doing nothing, hoping that during the course
• 1:53:42
  Speaker 1: of the show every week matches will just naturally sort
• 1:53:45
  Speaker 1: of materialize. Like, what a terrible general manager. It makes
• 1:53:49
  Speaker 1: no sense to me, you have all week to plan
• 1:53:52
  Speaker 1: a card g Barry Free. I don't know if I'm overreact,
• 1:54:00
  Speaker 1: but that Seth promo was excruciating. Never been more happy
• 1:54:04
  Speaker 1: to hear La Knight's music. I wouldn't say excruciating. It
• 1:54:08
  Speaker 1: was boring. It was a boring promo. You know, he
• 1:54:14
  Speaker 1: didn't have anything of any real interest to say. It
• 1:54:17
  Speaker 1: doesn't help that his opponent wasn't on the show. What's
• 1:54:20
  Speaker 1: he supposed to do? Thankfully we had La Night come
• 1:54:26
  Speaker 1: out to interrupt San Juan Wolf with the nineteen ninety
• 1:54:33
  Speaker 1: nine in k fabe. Adam Pierce is the worst general
• 1:54:36
  Speaker 1: manager in WWE history. Dude can hardly run his own show,
• 1:54:41
  Speaker 1: hardly has his world champions defend their titles, yet decides
• 1:54:44
  Speaker 1: it's only fair that Sammy's ain defends his he should
• 1:54:48
  Speaker 1: be fired. So then you're gonna have no general manager
• 1:54:54
  Speaker 1: for any show. He's running both shows. You're gonna fire him?
• 1:55:00
  Speaker 1: You going to replace him with gotta have a backup plan?
• 1:55:07
  Speaker 1: Holy shit wrestling. I have CM punk in Chicago fatigue. Yeah,
• 1:55:13
  Speaker 1: well I have more Cody fatigue than I do CM
• 1:55:16
  Speaker 1: punk in Chicago fatigue death sithe. At least Brock and
• 1:55:23
  Speaker 1: Roman have the excuse of being part timers. What is
• 1:55:25
  Speaker 1: Live Morgan's excuse? Terrible booking in kfab But I don't
• 1:55:36
  Speaker 1: know what her excuse is. She's not injured, She's just
• 1:55:39
  Speaker 1: a terrible champion. Aaron says Live should have feuded with
• 1:55:47
  Speaker 1: Bailey and Lyra and she could have been the catalyst
• 1:55:49
  Speaker 1: to cause Lyra to turn against Bailey. Well, you've just
• 1:55:51
  Speaker 1: done a better job than WWE did and trying to
• 1:55:54
  Speaker 1: think of something for Live Morgan to do. Congratulations, You've
• 1:55:59
  Speaker 1: just put more thought an effort into it then Triple
• 1:56:01
  Speaker 1: Ah and his merry band of misfits? Did Prince begeta
• 1:56:06
  Speaker 1: ninety five? I gotta say bron Breaker is absolutely neutered.
• 1:56:10
  Speaker 1: Dude went from being the Royal Rumble favorite and a
• 1:56:13
  Speaker 1: possible WrestleMania main event position this year to being stuck
• 1:56:16
  Speaker 1: in a tag team and barely getting Mike time. That's
• 1:56:20
  Speaker 1: why I said, man, like this, this whole vision thing,
• 1:56:23
  Speaker 1: for the sake of bron Breaker, it needs to end.
• 1:56:26
  Speaker 1: It's not benefiting him in any meaningful way at all
• 1:56:31
  Speaker 1: at all. He was neutered. People may disagree with me.
• 1:56:36
  Speaker 1: I would have put the World Championship on him in November.
• 1:56:39
  Speaker 1: I would have just taken it. I would have taken
• 1:56:40
  Speaker 1: a flyer and said, Okay, look he's he's still a younger,
• 1:56:43
  Speaker 1: newer guy, but so what this is what we need?
• 1:56:45
  Speaker 1: Fuck it. You can argue, oh, when he's not ready yet,
• 1:56:48
  Speaker 1: or you got a way to give him his big
• 1:56:51
  Speaker 1: moment at wrestlem it a fuck that fuck that. You
• 1:56:56
  Speaker 1: could have put the belt on him on Saturday Night's
• 1:56:58
  Speaker 1: main event November first, twenty twenty five, right after he
• 1:57:03
  Speaker 1: booted Seth Rollins out of the vision. You could have
• 1:57:06
  Speaker 1: scrapped the rocket to him. You could have ran with it.
• 1:57:09
  Speaker 1: You could have ran with it. What's the harm? What's
• 1:57:12
  Speaker 1: the harm? They didn't do that. He's been neutered ever since.
• 1:57:22
  Speaker 1: Paul Carpenter says, if you build it, it will come.
• 1:57:25
  Speaker 1: Congrats on the story. Yes, I finish my story. Fill
• 1:57:35
  Speaker 1: fill with the nine ninety nine Hey, Solo, would you
• 1:57:38
  Speaker 1: be open to sammy' z ain being added to the
• 1:57:39
  Speaker 1: SummerSlam main event with Cody and Punk. I would save
• 1:57:43
  Speaker 1: Cody versus Punk for a later date. Also, I think
• 1:57:45
  Speaker 1: Maxine Dupries still sucks. Thank you, Phil, Yes, I would
• 1:57:53
  Speaker 1: as much. As much as I really do want to
• 1:57:56
  Speaker 1: see Cody and Punk one on one, I really hope
• 1:57:59
  Speaker 1: they add Samy ts that match. If Cody it deserves
• 1:58:02
  Speaker 1: a rematch. There's no good reason why Sammy doesn't, because
• 1:58:10
  Speaker 1: Cody lost Farren Square a Night of Champions and Sammy
• 1:58:14
  Speaker 1: lost Farren Square's and why does Cody need a rematch
• 1:58:16
  Speaker 1: and not Sammy. My guess is we're gonna get Cody
• 1:58:22
  Speaker 1: against Sammy at Madison Square Garden. Cody's gonna win, and
• 1:58:27
  Speaker 1: then he's gonna get Punk at SummerSlam. They need some
• 1:58:32
  Speaker 1: big matches for that Saturday. I mean that Saturday Night's
• 1:58:34
  Speaker 1: main event show is dying on the vine, like fucking
• 1:58:37
  Speaker 1: Dan Housen against j D McDonough and Paige and Bribella
• 1:58:41
  Speaker 1: against Fatal Influence. That's all they have announced so far.
• 1:58:46
  Speaker 1: That's it. So they have to be saving some kind
• 1:58:49
  Speaker 1: of big match for the main event at least fucking
• 1:58:52
  Speaker 1: Madison Square Garden. What are you kidding me? Shows less
• 1:58:59
  Speaker 1: than two weeks away. That's the card you put together?
• 1:59:10
  Speaker 1: Oh we got Hassen Cargbow with a magenta bomb. Sammy
• 1:59:16
  Speaker 1: deserves better. He summed it up very succinctly. I'm sorry, brother.
• 1:59:25
  Speaker 1: I know he didn't enjoy the outcome of that main event,
• 1:59:28
  Speaker 1: and that I could tell. Phil says, hey, Solo, did
• 1:59:32
  Speaker 1: you ever get your AC fixed? I figured out what
• 1:59:35
  Speaker 1: the issue was. Once the heat wave ended, it started
• 1:59:38
  Speaker 1: functioning again. I don't think these window and wall AC
• 1:59:42
  Speaker 1: units are really equipped to deal with one hundred degree
• 1:59:45
  Speaker 1: heat waves and running constantly for twenty four to forty
• 1:59:50
  Speaker 1: eight hours. I feel like they overheat and they probably
• 1:59:54
  Speaker 1: shut the compressor off just to kind of protect itself.
• 1:59:58
  Speaker 1: It's like a self preservation thing. So thankfully I didn't
• 2:00:01
  Speaker 1: have to bring it in anywhere. I just had to
• 2:00:04
  Speaker 1: sweat it out a little bit. Thankfully the heat wave
• 2:00:08
  Speaker 1: has broken. Justin g why not do the bonus while
• 2:00:16
  Speaker 1: we're He contributed to the bonus, which one though we
• 2:00:19
  Speaker 1: had like four bonuses, we have four rounds. I believe
• 2:00:23
  Speaker 1: be the booker coming still to come. Don't go nowhere.
• 2:00:27
  Speaker 1: Phil says, we ain't playing around tonight solo. We want
• 2:00:30
  Speaker 1: Double be the Booker. Oh my god, he wanted double
• 2:00:35
  Speaker 1: How old is this message? How many? How many more
• 2:00:38
  Speaker 1: do we have? Says Come on, let's get Triple Be
• 2:00:44
  Speaker 1: the Booker. I got a long day of work tomorrow.
• 2:00:46
  Speaker 1: I need this review to be long. The sheltered kid,
• 2:00:51
  Speaker 1: you have no idea how happy I'm proud I am
• 2:00:54
  Speaker 1: of you being number one. I literally watch you every day.
• 2:00:57
  Speaker 1: You're my favorite podcast and YouTuber. All the Monster sounds
• 2:01:00
  Speaker 1: up for life. I love hearing that. Man, that's really cool.
• 2:01:07
  Speaker 1: I appreciate that. I'm glad you enjoy the content. It
• 2:01:12
  Speaker 1: can be a slog sometimes I enjoy it. It's not hard,
• 2:01:18
  Speaker 1: it's just it's very time consuming. So it's nice to
• 2:01:22
  Speaker 1: know at least that people do like it and appreciate it.
• 2:01:26
  Speaker 1: So when I get a message like that, it's very cool.
• 2:01:34
  Speaker 1: Justin says Yippy Skippy versus suffering Sucketash book it, brother.
• 2:01:40
  Speaker 1: I'll take Yippie Skippy over suffering suck Atash any day
• 2:01:43
  Speaker 1: of the week. Justin activated Triple Be the Booker, so
• 2:01:51
  Speaker 1: you're the one I can credit. Death Side says when
• 2:01:54
  Speaker 1: it comes to La Night. It pains me to say.
• 2:01:57
  Speaker 1: The only way I can see him winning the WWE title.
• 2:02:00
  Speaker 1: Best case scenario, he holds onto it for a month.
• 2:02:03
  Speaker 1: Worst case scenario, he is immediately cashed in on. I
• 2:02:09
  Speaker 1: think the only way that La Night is gonna win
• 2:02:10
  Speaker 1: the WWE Championship is if he accidentally wins it in
• 2:02:13
  Speaker 1: the referee fucks up the count. It's gonna be the
• 2:02:18
  Speaker 1: only way. At this point, it would have to be
• 2:02:22
  Speaker 1: by accident. Fill with a nine ninety nine. Imagine being
• 2:02:33
  Speaker 1: at a company for thirteen years, finally getting the promotion
• 2:02:36
  Speaker 1: that you've always wanted and then having it taken away
• 2:02:40
  Speaker 1: just nine days later. That's exactly how I feel about Sammy. Well,
• 2:02:49
  Speaker 1: yes and no, it's not like he's making any less
• 2:02:52
  Speaker 1: money now than he was twenty four hours ago. It
• 2:02:55
  Speaker 1: is important to keep perspective on these things, though. I
• 2:02:59
  Speaker 1: think when you're the champion or you're involved in the
• 2:03:02
  Speaker 1: main events scene, you get more screen time, which means
• 2:03:07
  Speaker 1: you get more opportunities to be on the show and
• 2:03:09
  Speaker 1: maybe do stuff outside the ring as well. So you know,
• 2:03:13
  Speaker 1: wins and losses in championships they do mean something, right,
• 2:03:17
  Speaker 1: They're not real, You're not winning anything. We know this right,
• 2:03:21
  Speaker 1: it's all a work, not a real sport. We get it.
• 2:03:25
  Speaker 1: But it does mean something, so you're not wrong about that.
• 2:03:28
  Speaker 1: But at the same time, like you get a promotion,
• 2:03:30
  Speaker 1: usually get a pay raise. It's not like they took
• 2:03:32
  Speaker 1: his pay raise away. He's still making the same money
• 2:03:35
  Speaker 1: he was making. Well, I guess unless TKO comes to
• 2:03:37
  Speaker 1: him asking for a fucking pay cut, he's still making
• 2:03:40
  Speaker 1: what he was making before. I just hope that he's
• 2:03:42
  Speaker 1: not shunned away so quickly. He should still be in
• 2:03:48
  Speaker 1: that main picture on Smackdow Phil, thank you again for
• 2:03:58
  Speaker 1: the nine ninety nine we got melic gaming. Would this
• 2:04:07
  Speaker 1: make sense? Says Punk beats Cody at SummerSlam, Cody then
• 2:04:14
  Speaker 1: turns Homelander after Cody feud. Punk feuds with Gunther after
• 2:04:20
  Speaker 1: Gunther finish off twenty twenty six, with him losing to
• 2:04:23
  Speaker 1: Sammy or returning Drew McIntyre. Would it make sense? Sure?
• 2:04:30
  Speaker 1: Do I want to see it play out that way? No,
• 2:04:33
  Speaker 1: We've already seen punkin McIntyre. You blew it off in
• 2:04:36
  Speaker 1: the best possible way inside hell in a cell. I
• 2:04:40
  Speaker 1: don't want to see them go back to it, Sammy.
• 2:04:43
  Speaker 1: I think Sammy is done as far as the world
• 2:04:45
  Speaker 1: title this year, at least this year. He's not getting
• 2:04:48
  Speaker 1: that belt back. I don't think he's gonna get the
• 2:04:50
  Speaker 1: belt back again, so cross that off the list. Cody
• 2:04:55
  Speaker 1: and gunh are a Punk and Gunther. We've seen it already.
• 2:05:00
  Speaker 1: I honestly don't really want to see it again. We
• 2:05:02
  Speaker 1: saw it at Summerslim last year. That's good enough for me.
• 2:05:08
  Speaker 1: I need something something better than this. I need something different.
• 2:05:13
  Speaker 1: You can make it make sense what you've just laid out,
• 2:05:15
  Speaker 1: but it's not what I really want to see. You
• 2:05:23
  Speaker 1: know what I really would love to see now that
• 2:05:25
  Speaker 1: Punk has the belt, if he's gonna have it for
• 2:05:27
  Speaker 1: a while, we need a Kevin Owens return, like in
• 2:05:33
  Speaker 1: the worst way on SmackDown. And I know they've been
• 2:05:38
  Speaker 1: very off and on over the years, but as happy
• 2:05:42
  Speaker 1: and proud as he was of his friend winning that championship,
• 2:05:46
  Speaker 1: now you've given him a reason to have beef with
• 2:05:49
  Speaker 1: CM Punk for showing up unannounced and taking the championship
• 2:05:55
  Speaker 1: away from Sammy's ain. Or maybe he comes at it
• 2:05:59
  Speaker 1: from from a different perspective and says it should have
• 2:06:01
  Speaker 1: been me taking the belt away from Sammy's inane and
• 2:06:06
  Speaker 1: so there you go. You got you already have an
• 2:06:08
  Speaker 1: inspiration for a CM punk. Kevin Owens viewed. I really
• 2:06:14
  Speaker 1: hope we get him back soon. Death Site says, can
• 2:06:21
  Speaker 1: we get all this in Piers in a bar fight
• 2:06:24
  Speaker 1: at SummerSlam? See that's unfair though, because all this all this.
• 2:06:30
  Speaker 1: I don't know if he's a teetotaler, but Pierce is
• 2:06:33
  Speaker 1: clearly an alcoholic, so he would be distracted in a
• 2:06:37
  Speaker 1: bar fight. That doesn't really feel fair to me. Prince
• 2:06:45
  Speaker 1: Maga says, I gotta say thank you Seamus Main event,
• 2:06:48
  Speaker 1: upper mid card or tag team. He always knocked it
• 2:06:51
  Speaker 1: out of the park. In my opinion, he deserved the
• 2:06:54
  Speaker 1: IC at least once. Whatever role you put in men,
• 2:07:00
  Speaker 1: he always excelled. Randy Bobandy with a forty nine to
• 2:07:04
  Speaker 1: ninety nine. Well, I missed the show, got drunk, started
• 2:07:08
  Speaker 1: to rewatch shameless while making some viscous spaghetti. Hmm. Just
• 2:07:17
  Speaker 1: wanted to drop in, show some love and send a
• 2:07:21
  Speaker 1: bow bandy bomb. He's gonna try to get that over.
• 2:07:23
  Speaker 1: You're gonna try to get a bull bandy bomb over
• 2:07:25
  Speaker 1: as a thing works for me. I love the bow
• 2:07:31
  Speaker 1: bandy bombs. Enjoy your viscous spaghetti. It's kind of an
• 2:07:40
  Speaker 1: odd way of putting it. Jeremy Rose says, Pierce will
• 2:07:46
  Speaker 1: accuse all this of stealing punk from Raw Good. Let's
• 2:07:50
  Speaker 1: get a feud going between the two general managers. Not
• 2:07:54
  Speaker 1: for this, mister nice guide bullshit death Side says Maxine
• 2:08:01
  Speaker 1: and Theory as the IT couple. There's only one IT
• 2:08:04
  Speaker 1: couple in WWE all time, and that's Macho Man and Elizabeth.
• 2:08:14
  Speaker 1: Come on, man, we went from the days of Macho
• 2:08:17
  Speaker 1: Man and Elizabeth now to the the even better days
• 2:08:21
  Speaker 1: of Austin Theory and Maxine Dupree. Jeremy says this leads
• 2:08:27
  Speaker 1: to more contention between the gms. I'm all for it.
• 2:08:32
  Speaker 1: Let's build it up. I'm sure all this has indulged
• 2:08:39
  Speaker 1: in the occasional pint of the London fog. Freddie McCrae, congratulations,
• 2:08:50
  Speaker 1: Sola Monster. Like Sammy's a, nobody can ever take this
• 2:08:53
  Speaker 1: moment from you. That's right, No one's gonna be beating
• 2:08:55
  Speaker 1: me for this moment. I can fall back down to
• 2:08:58
  Speaker 1: number two, number five, it don't matter. I got that
• 2:09:01
  Speaker 1: number one spot. Unlike Sammy's Ain, nobody can take that
• 2:09:07
  Speaker 1: away from me, he says, a transitional champion is still
• 2:09:13
  Speaker 1: a champion. The Summer of SoundOff. I like that. I
• 2:09:17
  Speaker 1: like that Summer of SoundOff. As we rapidly approach episode
• 2:09:23
  Speaker 1: one thousand. Thank you, Freddy Jim. Oh I thought this,
• 2:09:35
  Speaker 1: said Jim JM. Maybe his name is Jim. I don't
• 2:09:39
  Speaker 1: know what'll claim JM. Knowing WWE, they'll have Cody beat
• 2:09:42
  Speaker 1: Punk so they can run Cody versus Roman. It crowned jewel.
• 2:09:46
  Speaker 1: Oh God, what is your crown jewel predictions for men's
• 2:09:50
  Speaker 1: and women's Well, I mean I would hope EO beats
• 2:09:56
  Speaker 1: Live so we can end this horrendous reign. And Rhea
• 2:10:00
  Speaker 1: I don't know what her injury status is, but I
• 2:10:03
  Speaker 1: would love to see EO and Rhea a crown jewel.
• 2:10:09
  Speaker 1: As far as the World Heavyweight Championship, Roman will be
• 2:10:13
  Speaker 1: the champion. God, I mean, the Roman and Punk seems
• 2:10:23
  Speaker 1: very likely to me. Right now. I don't want to
• 2:10:27
  Speaker 1: see the belt back on Cody, Not right now. I
• 2:10:31
  Speaker 1: just I don't want to see that to take the
• 2:10:35
  Speaker 1: belt off Cody, to put it on Sammy, to put
• 2:10:37
  Speaker 1: it on Punk, to put it back on Cody. Like
• 2:10:39
  Speaker 1: I'm getting dizzy just saying that out loud. What is
• 2:10:43
  Speaker 1: the purpose of this? James Crawford with the one hundred
• 2:10:58
  Speaker 1: dollars Red of the night. So I love you Solo,
• 2:11:06
  Speaker 1: You're my IWC tribal chief. It's mutual, James, thank you
• 2:11:17
  Speaker 1: for the love. Who place my ula falla around your neck?
• 2:11:22
  Speaker 1: As Roman did to Jacob? Can we talk about that too?
• 2:11:29
  Speaker 1: By the way, Jacob fat to someone who actually had
• 2:11:32
  Speaker 1: real momentum after beating Drew McIntyre coming out of WrestleMania,
• 2:11:36
  Speaker 1: went on to get beat twice by Roman Reigns, and
• 2:11:40
  Speaker 1: Jacob Fotu has been a complete non factor on television
• 2:11:43
  Speaker 1: ever since. He's just another guy on the show. It's terrible.
• 2:11:52
  Speaker 1: Jeremy Rose says, Saturday Night's main event is looking like
• 2:11:54
  Speaker 1: it is now WWF Superstars, not even superstars, dude, it's
• 2:12:00
  Speaker 1: freaking velocity. They better shape that card up real quick.
• 2:12:05
  Speaker 1: I have to imagine they have something up their sleeve,
• 2:12:08
  Speaker 1: because for a Madison Square Garden show, that is an embarrassment.
• 2:12:16
  Speaker 1: Death Side says it's funny how Dan Housen says he's
• 2:12:19
  Speaker 1: very evil. I think nineteen ninety one. Jake Roberts two
• 2:12:23
  Speaker 1: thousand and three, brock Lesner two thousand and eight Chris
• 2:12:25
  Speaker 1: Jericho and two thousand and nine Randy Orton would disagree.
• 2:12:30
  Speaker 1: Nobody says he's very nice as well. He goes back
• 2:12:32
  Speaker 1: and forth. He's very nice, very evil. There was nothing
• 2:12:37
  Speaker 1: nice about any of the men you just mentioned. Freddy
• 2:12:42
  Speaker 1: Ciampunk lost his first championship when Cody and Legacy attacked
• 2:12:47
  Speaker 1: him in the head before he could defend his title
• 2:12:49
  Speaker 1: that night hashtag poetic justice. Oh that was the night
• 2:12:52
  Speaker 1: they did the scramble right and Chris Jericho won a
• 2:12:56
  Speaker 1: terrible scramble match. Never a fan of that stipulation. The
• 2:13:03
  Speaker 1: Shaunathan I think as of right now, with Sammy's Ain
• 2:13:06
  Speaker 1: kind of playing between face and heel, should be a
• 2:13:10
  Speaker 1: favorite for Money in the Bank in October by evolving
• 2:13:17
  Speaker 1: the last good guy. Sammy's Ain winning the briefcase actually
• 2:13:23
  Speaker 1: does make a lot of sense. But honestly, like they
• 2:13:27
  Speaker 1: probably would have him cashing to lose, I don't see
• 2:13:34
  Speaker 1: him getting it back, dude. Bass Beers says, hell in
• 2:13:38
  Speaker 1: a Sale seems like a big escalation. It is. It's
• 2:13:42
  Speaker 1: the perfect blowoff to a feud. That's why I said before,
• 2:13:45
  Speaker 1: like to go back to punk and McIntyre, like no
• 2:13:50
  Speaker 1: been there done that, you had the perfect ending to it.
• 2:13:53
  Speaker 1: Leave it alone. Base bears. Thank you for the the two,
• 2:14:00
  Speaker 1: and there's another two, he says. Hey Yo Desai says
• 2:14:04
  Speaker 1: buyer sell on these two matches that should have gotten
• 2:14:08
  Speaker 1: five stars from Meltzer, but on one match of the
• 2:14:13
  Speaker 1: year in the Pro Wrestling Illustrated. The other one match
• 2:14:18
  Speaker 1: of the year in the Observer Rock versus Hogan at
• 2:14:20
  Speaker 1: WrestleMania eighteen, or Angle Ben Wir versus Edge and Ray
• 2:14:24
  Speaker 1: at No Mercy. Oh, that was two thousand and two.
• 2:14:29
  Speaker 1: That was a great match, Rock Hogan. I mean, you
• 2:14:38
  Speaker 1: just want to if you want to go based on
• 2:14:40
  Speaker 1: work rate, then you go with the tech match. If
• 2:14:41
  Speaker 1: you want to go based on what I think is
• 2:14:43
  Speaker 1: an example of a five star professional wrestling match, it's
• 2:14:49
  Speaker 1: Rock Hogan WrestleMania eighteen. Just the psychology of it, the
• 2:14:54
  Speaker 1: way they were able to just play the crowd, Rock
• 2:14:58
  Speaker 1: having to sort of a adapt as the match went
• 2:15:01
  Speaker 1: on once he realized that he was the villain, even
• 2:15:04
  Speaker 1: though he really wasn't the villain in the story, but
• 2:15:06
  Speaker 1: he sort of went with it and just building to
• 2:15:10
  Speaker 1: that moment where Hogan hulked up and nostalgia it's a
• 2:15:16
  Speaker 1: hell of a drug. Man, everything just the stars aligned,
• 2:15:21
  Speaker 1: Like that match is pro wrestler, it's great, super pony.
• 2:15:31
  Speaker 1: How do you think Sammy feels right now? Not too good.
• 2:15:36
  Speaker 1: You know, he got a lot of really genuine messages
• 2:15:39
  Speaker 1: all week long from colleagues, probably tons of phone calls
• 2:15:43
  Speaker 1: and text messages and dms and people who work with
• 2:15:48
  Speaker 1: him who were genuinely happy for and I'm sure they're
• 2:15:52
  Speaker 1: all bummed. I mean they they're all wrestlers, they all
• 2:15:55
  Speaker 1: work there, they get it, they understand it, and yes
• 2:15:59
  Speaker 1: it's a work, but they know him, they obviously like
• 2:16:03
  Speaker 1: him and respect him, and they probably all feel really
• 2:16:06
  Speaker 1: shitty for him right now. You know, he should feel
• 2:16:10
  Speaker 1: really good about that match he had tonight. But I'm
• 2:16:12
  Speaker 1: sure a big part of him is also like, man,
• 2:16:15
  Speaker 1: you know, like nine fucking days, really nine days? Nick
• 2:16:26
  Speaker 1: Grosso with the nine ninety nine. I think I'm gonna
• 2:16:29
  Speaker 1: like unhinged Lyra. Also next week, she goes face to
• 2:16:32
  Speaker 1: face with Bailey in Texas, where Tatum Pasley is from.
• 2:16:36
  Speaker 1: Does Tatum make her main roster debut and beat down
• 2:16:39
  Speaker 1: Bailey with Lyra? I actually like that idea a lot.
• 2:16:42
  Speaker 1: I think that would be a great way to debut
• 2:16:44
  Speaker 1: Tatum Pasley. I like it super Pony. After tonight, I
• 2:16:56
  Speaker 1: realized I shouldn't get excited about Ko coming back. They're
• 2:16:59
  Speaker 1: not going to do anything good with him. He's forty
• 2:17:01
  Speaker 1: two coming off a neck injury. Who's to say they
• 2:17:03
  Speaker 1: don't ask him to take a pay cut. It's true,
• 2:17:11
  Speaker 1: That's why they went to Seamus and asked him to
• 2:17:13
  Speaker 1: take a pay cut. Older guy out with an injury,
• 2:17:19
  Speaker 1: not really doing a whole lot making really good money,
• 2:17:23
  Speaker 1: as I'm sure Owens is. I wouldn't be shocked if
• 2:17:25
  Speaker 1: Owens was asked to take a pay cut at some point.
• 2:17:31
  Speaker 1: Death Si says, just like Mankind, Sammy won the title
• 2:17:35
  Speaker 1: in a triple threat and then dropped it on bra.
• 2:17:40
  Speaker 1: That's right. He wanted it to SummerSlam the new one.
• 2:17:50
  Speaker 1: I'm calling it now. Brock will lose to Oba in
• 2:17:53
  Speaker 1: the Hell in a Cell. An undertaker will come out
• 2:17:56
  Speaker 1: after the match and in Duck Brock Lesner into the
• 2:17:58
  Speaker 1: WWE Hall of Fame Class of twenty twenty seven. I'm
• 2:18:06
  Speaker 1: gonna say no, I don't think they've ever announced the
• 2:18:09
  Speaker 1: Hall of Fame induction that early. I mean, look, I
• 2:18:17
  Speaker 1: mean being in Minnesota. I guess, I mean, it could
• 2:18:22
  Speaker 1: make for a nice moment for him if he gives
• 2:18:24
  Speaker 1: a shit. I'm gonna say probably not, though. Retro Koh
• 2:18:32
  Speaker 1: says Trivia, how long was Sammy's ain WWE champion Tony Kahan?
• 2:18:39
  Speaker 1: Nine days, nine days, nine days? Yeah, what what was
• 2:18:44
  Speaker 1: up with him that night? Man? Yeah? Those are the
• 2:18:47
  Speaker 1: early days of the Dynamite reviews. Those are those are
• 2:18:50
  Speaker 1: the COVID Dynamite reviews. From Daily's place, nine days you
• 2:18:54
  Speaker 1: have nine days. Death Side says Oba should be the
• 2:19:01
  Speaker 1: guy if Cody turns heel. Yes, Oba's on raw, But
• 2:19:03
  Speaker 1: let's be honest, the brand split is about as meaningful
• 2:19:06
  Speaker 1: as the Andre Battle Royal. I feel you, but they're
• 2:19:11
  Speaker 1: building to Roman and Oba, so Oba's not going to
• 2:19:16
  Speaker 1: be the guy who would have to take Cody's place
• 2:19:18
  Speaker 1: as the top babyface on SmackDown. They probably have him
• 2:19:22
  Speaker 1: already slotted in. On the other side, Devin from NJA says,
• 2:19:26
  Speaker 1: buy your cell. Fans sing Roman Reigns or they sing
• 2:19:30
  Speaker 1: Cody Rhodes. Dude, I am fucking done with both of them.
• 2:19:36
  Speaker 1: I'm at the point now where I just I can't
• 2:19:38
  Speaker 1: stand either one when they sing, when they sing the names.
• 2:19:41
  Speaker 1: It's very annoying, not not not annoying like the what chant,
• 2:19:47
  Speaker 1: but it's it jumped the shark with me a while ago.
• 2:19:54
  Speaker 1: We have Hercules. Hernandez is with us. Wow, from from
• 2:20:00
  Speaker 1: the great Beyond, I have my Hercules Hernandez LJN somewhere
• 2:20:06
  Speaker 1: in a box twenty dollars super chat. Just want to
• 2:20:12
  Speaker 1: ask if you are sick of Roman in the Bloodline
• 2:20:15
  Speaker 1: and how long are we going to keep getting Roman
• 2:20:19
  Speaker 1: headlining WrestleMania listener since twenty eleven, Thank you, Hercules. Am
• 2:20:24
  Speaker 1: I sick of Roman in the Bloodline? I'm I'm kind
• 2:20:29
  Speaker 1: of over it, or at least I wish they would
• 2:20:34
  Speaker 1: evolve the story into something actually interesting. Roman headlining WrestleMania,
• 2:20:42
  Speaker 1: He's going to headline a whole bunch of more WrestleManias.
• 2:20:44
  Speaker 1: We're not anywhere close to being done. In fact, I
• 2:20:46
  Speaker 1: dare say we're in the oh. I don't know, sixth inning.
• 2:20:50
  Speaker 1: Maybe he's probably got at least four or five more
• 2:20:53
  Speaker 1: WrestleMania main events. Yu ki oh Rules, Thank you for
• 2:21:08
  Speaker 1: everything you do solo. Also, does your brother have any
• 2:21:11
  Speaker 1: favorite wrestlers from when you uh, when you all grew
• 2:21:14
  Speaker 1: up together? Or currently from when we were growing up.
• 2:21:22
  Speaker 1: I mean he was I think pretty much a fan
• 2:21:23
  Speaker 1: of a lot of the same people I was, as
• 2:21:25
  Speaker 1: far as you know, macho man, you know, mister perfect
• 2:21:32
  Speaker 1: people like that. I don't think he had any like
• 2:21:34
  Speaker 1: one person that like head and shoulders above the rest
• 2:21:37
  Speaker 1: that he was like a massive fan of. Today he doesn't,
• 2:21:42
  Speaker 1: I mean he barely pays attention to. He doesn't give
• 2:21:44
  Speaker 1: a shit. So death Site says f OTC means face
• 2:21:54
  Speaker 1: of the company. Okay, I don't know why some people
• 2:21:58
  Speaker 1: were shocked. I didn't know what that means. I mean,
• 2:22:01
  Speaker 1: does everybody know what FOTC means? Am I like the
• 2:22:04
  Speaker 1: only one? Some of you make me feel like a leper.
• 2:22:09
  Speaker 1: How do you not know what FOTC means? There was
• 2:22:12
  Speaker 1: somebody before fuck me out of g I don't know.
• 2:22:17
  Speaker 1: I thought it meant fuck the OTC. And keep track
• 2:22:24
  Speaker 1: of all these acronyms, He says, buy cell rent. What
• 2:22:28
  Speaker 1: would hurt worse being bitten by a vampire, a zombie
• 2:22:32
  Speaker 1: or a werewolf? What would hurt worse? I mean, I
• 2:22:45
  Speaker 1: would imagine being bitten by a werewolf right beyond the
• 2:22:49
  Speaker 1: actual bite. Like then when you have to like change
• 2:22:52
  Speaker 1: into the werewolf. If you've seen somebody these like werewolf
• 2:22:54
  Speaker 1: transformations in movies, like with the cgi effects and everything,
• 2:22:58
  Speaker 1: it looks it looks awful, looks like looks like torture.
• 2:23:03
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't want to have to turn into a werewolf.
• 2:23:13
  Speaker 1: Edward Brooks Bailey said Lyra was the person that kept
• 2:23:17
  Speaker 1: her level headed. Perhaps voices come back and we will
• 2:23:19
  Speaker 1: get Crazy Bailey against Angry Bird at SummerSlam Boy. They
• 2:23:23
  Speaker 1: forgot all about Crazy Bailey and the voices, didn't they? EJ.
• 2:23:31
  Speaker 1: Slump I consider you a top wrestling historian into history
• 2:23:34
  Speaker 1: beyond wrestling? Am I into history beyond wrestling? Did you
• 2:23:37
  Speaker 1: like history in school? I was a history major, and
• 2:23:40
  Speaker 1: that's why I asked I did like history in school?
• 2:23:45
  Speaker 1: I did? Yeah, I took even in college, I think
• 2:23:48
  Speaker 1: I took I took politics history. Yeah, not like a
• 2:23:57
  Speaker 1: savant or anything like that, but I took an interest.
• 2:24:00
  Speaker 1: It's too bad more people don't. Mystic J forty four.
• 2:24:06
  Speaker 1: Do you think that we'll get evolution again this year?
• 2:24:08
  Speaker 1: No Deaths says why did Sonic dump Amy because she
• 2:24:15
  Speaker 1: wanted to take things slow? Hmm. Paul Carpenter says, Lyra's
• 2:24:25
  Speaker 1: not a bird girl anymore. She's a call call girl,
• 2:24:30
  Speaker 1: a caca. I see, I see what you're saying. Don't
• 2:24:36
  Speaker 1: quit your day job, Paul. I gotta leave it to
• 2:24:40
  Speaker 1: the experts. Super Pony says, do you think Owens and
• 2:24:45
  Speaker 1: Zane would get proper world title runs in ae W?
• 2:24:53
  Speaker 1: I mean maybe not. They'd have a better chance at it,
• 2:24:58
  Speaker 1: but not necessarily. There's so many more belts in aw
• 2:25:03
  Speaker 1: that they don't have to be a world ship. Tony
• 2:25:05
  Speaker 1: would just put the continental title on them. He'd have
• 2:25:08
  Speaker 1: like Owen to win the Continental Classic or something. I
• 2:25:13
  Speaker 1: wouldn't mind seeing Shamus in there. I'm not gonna lie
• 2:25:16
  Speaker 1: in the C two. Death Size says if Amy Rose
• 2:25:20
  Speaker 1: was a villain, I guarantee her theme song would be
• 2:25:23
  Speaker 1: hammer smashed face by Cannibal Corpse. And super Pony says
• 2:25:32
  Speaker 1: Kevin Steen MJF promo battles. I need it. That would
• 2:25:42
  Speaker 1: be something, wouldn't it. Oh my god, those promos would
• 2:25:46
  Speaker 1: be incredible. Death Size says, speaking of werewolves, I highly
• 2:25:49
  Speaker 1: recommend the horror movie Dog Soldiers. I've not heard of
• 2:25:54
  Speaker 1: that one. You know what? Movie actually kind of stuck
• 2:26:00
  Speaker 1: with me for a while. I'm not even saying it's
• 2:26:02
  Speaker 1: like a great movie. It's not like a horror movie.
• 2:26:08
  Speaker 1: Actually at all. The situation is kind of a horror.
• 2:26:11
  Speaker 1: But it was a movie with Justin Timberlake that came
• 2:26:16
  Speaker 1: out probably like six or something. Maybe maybe it was earlier,
• 2:26:20
  Speaker 1: Alpha Dog, which was either inspired by or based on
• 2:26:24
  Speaker 1: an actual story, which makes it even worse. Man that
• 2:26:28
  Speaker 1: movie that fucked me up. Man, just knowing that was
• 2:26:31
  Speaker 1: a real life situation if you know the premise of
• 2:26:35
  Speaker 1: the movie. That movie stuck with me. Actually Timberlake was
• 2:26:40
  Speaker 1: not bad in that movie, but that movie, I know
• 2:26:42
  Speaker 1: you mentioned you mentioned dogs. For some reason, I thought
• 2:26:46
  Speaker 1: of Alpha Dog. I haven't seen that movie in forever,
• 2:26:48
  Speaker 1: but yeah, that movie messed me up for a while. Anyway,
• 2:26:52
  Speaker 1: I think we have gotten through. I believe all of
• 2:26:57
  Speaker 1: the messages, all of the super chats man you got. Guys.
• 2:27:01
  Speaker 1: We had a big week last week, and you guys
• 2:27:05
  Speaker 1: have started this week off in a way that I
• 2:27:07
  Speaker 1: don't know that we're gonna be able to top, although
• 2:27:09
  Speaker 1: we do have a big dynamite coming up. Beach Break
• 2:27:11
  Speaker 1: on Wednesday. Kenny Omega MJF for the aw World Championship
• 2:27:17
  Speaker 1: and the Women's Casino Gauntlet should be a big show
• 2:27:21
  Speaker 1: on Wednesday as well. But we have I believe, correct
• 2:27:26
  Speaker 1: me if I'm wrong, four rounds, four rounds of be
• 2:27:32
  Speaker 1: the booker to do. So we're not gonna waste any
• 2:27:35
  Speaker 1: more time. Let's get into it. Here we go, exciting,
• 2:27:39
  Speaker 1: exciting time to be the booker. Oh, I'm excited. We're
• 2:27:47
  Speaker 1: gonna book some matches. We're gonna book some good matches too.
• 2:27:55
  Speaker 1: I can feel it. I got a good feeling about this.
• 2:28:02
  Speaker 1: We're gonna get started with the Butcher and the Blade,
• 2:28:06
  Speaker 1: who were no longer employed by AW by the way,
• 2:28:10
  Speaker 1: I believe they are free agents. Never won the tag
• 2:28:14
  Speaker 1: team titles in AW For as many titles as they
• 2:28:18
  Speaker 1: have in that company, they never were able to capture
• 2:28:21
  Speaker 1: those championships. They were there in the early days and
• 2:28:23
  Speaker 1: then they kind of fizzled out after a while. The
• 2:28:27
  Speaker 1: Butcher and the Blade. Oh, this this is a I mean,
• 2:28:30
  Speaker 1: this is a fucking rampage match against the Outrunners. I
• 2:28:36
  Speaker 1: mean that's I like the Outrunners at all, But my god,
• 2:28:39
  Speaker 1: I mean, can we can we book something above the
• 2:28:42
  Speaker 1: level of rampage? That's this is a straight out of
• 2:28:47
  Speaker 1: that show. Come on now, man, wwe is doing a
• 2:28:54
  Speaker 1: terrible job of booking Saturday Nights made event. I would
• 2:28:57
  Speaker 1: like to take over and the show at Madison Square Garden.
• 2:29:02
  Speaker 1: So I need I need some big matches here. Man,
• 2:29:04
  Speaker 1: we got to do better. Choose four women and book
• 2:29:09
  Speaker 1: a tag team match. Okay, we can do that. We
• 2:29:16
  Speaker 1: can do that Women's tag team belt. Hey Brian in
• 2:29:22
  Speaker 1: the chat, what's going on, Brian? I see you. We
• 2:29:26
  Speaker 1: have Ruby Soho. This is all aw talent so far.
• 2:29:34
  Speaker 1: We need a WWE person in here. Ruby Soho and
• 2:29:38
  Speaker 1: Mako Sadamora are going to be a tag team. She's
• 2:29:42
  Speaker 1: retired by the way. Ruby and Mako are going to
• 2:29:48
  Speaker 1: be taking on Shana Basler, who we just announced is
• 2:29:54
  Speaker 1: coming into House of Glory for High Intensity coming up
• 2:29:58
  Speaker 1: on August seventh, the Queen of Spades. It's coming back SHANEA.
• 2:30:08
  Speaker 1: Basler and not Timeless, but Tony storm Man. We have
• 2:30:16
  Speaker 1: not had a single like WWE main roster star yet
• 2:30:21
  Speaker 1: through two rounds, but I do like that match. Tony
• 2:30:26
  Speaker 1: storm and SHANEA. Basler is a tag team against Mako
• 2:30:29
  Speaker 1: Sotamora and Ruby. That's a good match right there. All right, now,
• 2:30:33
  Speaker 1: we have our first of four main events, four of
• 2:30:37
  Speaker 1: them this is what you guys have unlocked tonight. That's
• 2:30:41
  Speaker 1: basically a full Saturday Night's Made event card. When you
• 2:30:43
  Speaker 1: think about it, it's four matches right. Yes, this has
• 2:30:48
  Speaker 1: been very aw heavy. We need we need some WWE
• 2:30:51
  Speaker 1: influence here. Well, I don't know, I mean, what do
• 2:30:56
  Speaker 1: you what do you say? This is kind of still aw.
• 2:31:00
  Speaker 1: We have the American Nightmare. We can't escape him, Cody Rhodes.
• 2:31:08
  Speaker 1: Is it fair to say now that we have some
• 2:31:09
  Speaker 1: WWE flavor because it's kind of it's kind of still aw.
• 2:31:15
  Speaker 1: He was, he was an EVP. He's one of the
• 2:31:18
  Speaker 1: founding fathers. You may not like him, but you can't
• 2:31:25
  Speaker 1: escape him. He may not be hard to find, but
• 2:31:33
  Speaker 1: he's hard to beat. Cody Rhodes is going to be
• 2:31:37
  Speaker 1: stepping into the ring with John Moxley. John Moxley, this
• 2:31:44
  Speaker 1: is wow. Be the Booker is I think Be the
• 2:31:47
  Speaker 1: Booker has has been converted into a sicko. I think
• 2:31:54
  Speaker 1: Be the Booker has gone full sicko tonight. Wow, Be
• 2:31:58
  Speaker 1: the Booker has made its choice on which side of
• 2:32:04
  Speaker 1: the fence it wants to go. Well, that's only round
• 2:32:10
  Speaker 1: number one. Now we have stipulations. The whole rest of
• 2:32:16
  Speaker 1: the way. But remember before we get to that. If
• 2:32:20
  Speaker 1: you remember the first Superjack goal, it was for an
• 2:32:23
  Speaker 1: intergender round of Be the Booker. So before we actually
• 2:32:27
  Speaker 1: get to the stipulations, we actually have to book an
• 2:32:30
  Speaker 1: intergender match. Don't think I forgot about that. Retro says,
• 2:32:38
  Speaker 1: Be the Booker is all elite. All right, we get
• 2:32:42
  Speaker 1: one intergender match and then we move on to round
• 2:32:45
  Speaker 1: number two. It's going to be well. I mean, we
• 2:32:52
  Speaker 1: call her Daria where we call her Sonia Blaze, Sonia Blade,
• 2:32:55
  Speaker 1: Sonya Deville, Sonia Deville against who against VIKINGO. I feel
• 2:33:15
  Speaker 1: bad for VIKINGO. I'm going with Sonya to win this match.
• 2:33:17
  Speaker 1: I think Sonya would actually probably give him a pretty
• 2:33:22
  Speaker 1: tough fight. It's unfortunate though, it's kind of funny. Actually,
• 2:33:25
  Speaker 1: oh not funny. But like we land on VIKINGO. Here
• 2:33:29
  Speaker 1: we got an update. We got an update on VIKINGO.
• 2:33:32
  Speaker 1: It's not good. He injured himself last week prior to
• 2:33:37
  Speaker 1: the NXT show, like earlier that day. I guess maybe
• 2:33:41
  Speaker 1: going over his match or something, and he hurt his knee.
• 2:33:45
  Speaker 1: He had wrestled Ray Phoenix on SmackDown the night before,
• 2:33:49
  Speaker 1: which was taped, and they had a really good match.
• 2:33:53
  Speaker 1: He was fine. He got hurt during the day on Tuesday,
• 2:33:57
  Speaker 1: had an MRI done. Don't have an actual diagnosis, but
• 2:34:03
  Speaker 1: he's having surgery. So whatever it is, it's serious, because
• 2:34:07
  Speaker 1: if it wasn't serious, he wouldn't be having surgery. So
• 2:34:10
  Speaker 1: I don't know if it's a torn acl or exactly
• 2:34:12
  Speaker 1: what the injury is. His leg is in a brace.
• 2:34:15
  Speaker 1: He posted pictures on his social media and he's going
• 2:34:19
  Speaker 1: to be having surgery. So I don't know what that
• 2:34:22
  Speaker 1: means for the Triple A Latin American title, but he's
• 2:34:25
  Speaker 1: gonna be gone for a while. I don't know what
• 2:34:27
  Speaker 1: that means for Omas. Omas has nobody to look after
• 2:34:32
  Speaker 1: now in Triple A. All right, now, let's move on
• 2:34:38
  Speaker 1: to round number two and from here on out we
• 2:34:42
  Speaker 1: have stipulations that we will pick at random for each
• 2:34:47
  Speaker 1: of these matches. So we're going to begin with man.
• 2:34:54
  Speaker 1: I'm telling you mail is what is going on? Would
• 2:34:58
  Speaker 1: be the booker tonight first stipulation, and we see a
• 2:35:03
  Speaker 1: hangman just drenched in blood. It is a Texas death match.
• 2:35:11
  Speaker 1: This this is just this is out of control tonight. Uh, well,
• 2:35:18
  Speaker 1: we'll start with the men then, I mean we're gonna
• 2:35:19
  Speaker 1: do a Texas Death Match. We'll do it with the
• 2:35:22
  Speaker 1: with the men, Big Bronzon Reid. If you've seen pictures
• 2:35:31
  Speaker 1: of him online, he's not quite as big anymore. But hey,
• 2:35:35
  Speaker 1: we finally got a WWE guy man Big Bronson reading
• 2:35:41
  Speaker 1: at Texas Deathmatch. Oh oh no, this is this is
• 2:35:56
  Speaker 1: very depressing. This is very depressing. How can we land
• 2:36:01
  Speaker 1: on this tonight? Oh man? Ah, this is just a
• 2:36:11
  Speaker 1: bummer of an image here, man, I mean, look, this
• 2:36:13
  Speaker 1: is happier times. This is much happier times for Sammy's day.
• 2:36:19
  Speaker 1: This was only a few days ago. This be the
• 2:36:24
  Speaker 1: booker is very cruel, man, this is like a sick joke.
• 2:36:32
  Speaker 1: Oh man, that is very very cruel. Tonight of all nights.
• 2:36:50
  Speaker 1: All right, we need a stipulation now for a women's match.
• 2:36:55
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, first ever female Punjabi is in match.
• 2:37:02
  Speaker 1: Are you ready? Are you ready for some Punjabi prison
• 2:37:07
  Speaker 1: with the ladies. Jordan Grace? Who's that? I don't know
• 2:37:15
  Speaker 1: who this person is. Who's Jordan Grace? Is she a wrestler?
• 2:37:24
  Speaker 1: I don't know, but she's in the Punjabi prison. Well,
• 2:37:36
  Speaker 1: there she is again, Jordan Grace against makeup Sodomore in
• 2:37:39
  Speaker 1: a Punjabi prison match, and despite the awful stipulation, I
• 2:37:47
  Speaker 1: actually think that would be a very good match. I
• 2:37:49
  Speaker 1: think they would just sort of, you know, have themselves
• 2:37:54
  Speaker 1: a great wrestling match and when the time was right, Now,
• 2:37:57
  Speaker 1: what is the stipulation, you gotta climb out, right, We'd
• 2:38:00
  Speaker 1: get a great wrestling match out of it, and then
• 2:38:02
  Speaker 1: when the time was right, they would they would climb out.
• 2:38:04
  Speaker 1: She's pulling double duty tonight though she's supposed to be retired.
• 2:38:10
  Speaker 1: Not only is she out of retirement, now she's put
• 2:38:12
  Speaker 1: pulling double duty on this show. We're going in reverse
• 2:38:19
  Speaker 1: if you couldn't tell, because now we're going to do
• 2:38:21
  Speaker 1: a tag team match. This tag team match is going
• 2:38:23
  Speaker 1: to be a tag team lions Den match. Hmmm, now
• 2:38:34
  Speaker 1: these are I'm still on the stipulations. All right, here
• 2:38:39
  Speaker 1: we go. We have a lions Den tag team match
• 2:38:42
  Speaker 1: with Big Show and Miss Miss show Biz. I don't
• 2:38:53
  Speaker 1: remember their tag team name, and they will be taking
• 2:39:01
  Speaker 1: on the Street Profits. Also did not have a very
• 2:39:05
  Speaker 1: good night like Sammy's Ain. But here we are with
• 2:39:07
  Speaker 1: the with the Street Profits. I have to bel that one,
• 2:39:13
  Speaker 1: just because of how fascinated I am at the prospect
• 2:39:15
  Speaker 1: of a tag team Lions. That match doesn't seem like
• 2:39:19
  Speaker 1: there would be a whole lot of room to maneuver
• 2:39:21
  Speaker 1: with four people, especially if you had someone like Big
• 2:39:23
  Speaker 1: Show in there. Oh Show Miz. I was totally wrong.
• 2:39:32
  Speaker 1: I was totally wrong. What a terrible name. How fucking
• 2:39:36
  Speaker 1: lazy have they gotten with tag team names in the
• 2:39:38
  Speaker 1: last decade? Good lord? All right, Well we're halfway there.
• 2:39:49
  Speaker 1: We are halfway there. We have round number three? Was
• 2:39:58
  Speaker 1: that a sonic? Oh? Right? Okay, I'm sorry I could
• 2:40:05
  Speaker 1: have sworn I buzzed one of them. I guess not.
• 2:40:09
  Speaker 1: All right, so we got one sweep. We have tribal combats.
• 2:40:15
  Speaker 1: Oh boy, it's gonna be the Battle of the Ulafalla everybody.
• 2:40:21
  Speaker 1: Tribal combat is about to go down. And even better,
• 2:40:26
  Speaker 1: we're doing tribal combat with the ladies because we're gonna
• 2:40:30
  Speaker 1: start with the women this time. I don't even know
• 2:40:34
  Speaker 1: if that's allowed. Are the women allowed to have tribal combat?
• 2:40:39
  Speaker 1: I mean, there may be rules against this sort of thing.
• 2:40:41
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Oh, it's Ley ying Lie, the former
• 2:40:49
  Speaker 1: Zaia Lee and the now former TNA Knockouts champion Okay
• 2:41:01
  Speaker 1: in tribal combat against MEDUSA Nothing about this match makes
• 2:41:13
  Speaker 1: any sense. Why would they be in tribal combat. Yeah,
• 2:41:21
  Speaker 1: that's a that's a miss. That's a misfire, is what
• 2:41:23
  Speaker 1: that is. We have a tables match. See this, This
• 2:41:32
  Speaker 1: is one we could do with the tag teams. We
• 2:41:33
  Speaker 1: have a tag team tables match. Here we have Hollywood
• 2:41:42
  Speaker 1: Hogan and the Worm Dennis Rodman, both WWE Hall of Famers,
• 2:41:47
  Speaker 1: by the way, in a tables match with Met Johnson
• 2:42:01
  Speaker 1: and Stevie Ray. There's Clarence may Who is that in
• 2:42:11
  Speaker 1: the background? I asked, Clarence Mason in the fourth that's
• 2:42:14
  Speaker 1: not master ps Uh, Clarence Mason there in the foreground. Man,
• 2:42:22
  Speaker 1: this is not going well. This might be the first
• 2:42:25
  Speaker 1: reverse sweep that we have of the night. This is
• 2:42:34
  Speaker 1: not going well. Oh, we have another intergender you know,
• 2:42:39
  Speaker 1: I just realized that tag team match is like Hulk
• 2:42:41
  Speaker 1: Cogan's worst nightmare, if you know, you know, intergender match.
• 2:42:48
  Speaker 1: We have an intergener We just didn't intergender match. Now
• 2:42:51
  Speaker 1: we get to do another one. Aren't you excited? Well,
• 2:42:57
  Speaker 1: we should be able to do better than Sonya Deville.
• 2:43:03
  Speaker 1: What was the one we just did? Sonya Deville? Thank god?
• 2:43:06
  Speaker 1: I already forgot what the match was well, whatever that
• 2:43:14
  Speaker 1: match was that we booked three minutes ago, Zoe Stark,
• 2:43:21
  Speaker 1: there's another one here. Never really got the chance to
• 2:43:24
  Speaker 1: come back and tell that comeback story in WWE. It's
• 2:43:29
  Speaker 1: going by Zoe Serrano on the independen scene. Now, oh VIKINGO,
• 2:43:34
  Speaker 1: thank you. Yes, we had Sonya Deville against the King Goo.
• 2:43:38
  Speaker 1: This time we were going to have Zoe Stark just
• 2:43:43
  Speaker 1: back from a devastating injury, about to be put on
• 2:43:51
  Speaker 1: the shelf with another devastating injury. Oh, this was just
• 2:44:02
  Speaker 1: oh man, this round was just all over the place.
• 2:44:08
  Speaker 1: This was what round number three? This? This was this
• 2:44:11
  Speaker 1: was not it? This round was not it. Poor Zoe Stark,
• 2:44:19
  Speaker 1: by the way, just came back from injury. Now in
• 2:44:22
  Speaker 1: there with the world's strongest man, the Hall, the Hall
• 2:44:27
  Speaker 1: of Pain. It will not end well for Zoe Stark.
• 2:44:33
  Speaker 1: All right, this is it round number four. We need
• 2:44:36
  Speaker 1: to come back, We need to come back. Here we're
• 2:44:42
  Speaker 1: kicking off with a tag team parking lot brawl. Here
• 2:44:53
  Speaker 1: we go. The fuck is wrong with Be the Booker.
• 2:44:57
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Something something off with Be the Booker.
• 2:45:00
  Speaker 1: Tonight we have pretty deadly Kit Wilson and Elton Prince
• 2:45:07
  Speaker 1: poor Kit Wilson is just sitting around now after being
• 2:45:10
  Speaker 1: electrocuted a few weeks ago. Nobody seems to give a shit.
• 2:45:15
  Speaker 1: Elton Prince, I don't know when he's going to wrestle again.
• 2:45:20
  Speaker 1: Tag Team parking Lot Brawl with pretty Deadly against the
• 2:45:31
  Speaker 1: Judgment Day, Damian Priest and Finn Balor. The parking lot
• 2:45:37
  Speaker 1: brawl is I think a potentially very fun stipulation if
• 2:45:40
  Speaker 1: it works the way that the original one worked with
• 2:45:43
  Speaker 1: Cina and Eddie. You have all these cars in a
• 2:45:46
  Speaker 1: circle and everybody is just kind of hanging around. They're
• 2:45:49
  Speaker 1: honking the horns and they're chairing them on and you
• 2:45:53
  Speaker 1: just have a giant brawl. Now. They had a parking
• 2:45:55
  Speaker 1: lot brawl in aw that was really good with I
• 2:45:59
  Speaker 1: want to say, what was it? Best Friends against Lax?
• 2:46:03
  Speaker 1: Is that what? Or Proud and Powerful? I think that
• 2:46:06
  Speaker 1: was the match. I remember that one being very good,
• 2:46:10
  Speaker 1: So I mean this one has potential. I give that
• 2:46:14
  Speaker 1: a bell. Yeah, that's a that's a total Judgment Day
• 2:46:20
  Speaker 1: win right there. You guys got to be picking winners
• 2:46:25
  Speaker 1: as we go along. Here we have all the dread
• 2:46:29
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, oh my goodness, Oh you're the dreaded
• 2:46:34
  Speaker 1: Yappa pie strap match. Get ready for the strapation, everybody.
• 2:46:45
  Speaker 1: I hope the ladies are ready. We have a women's
• 2:46:49
  Speaker 1: Yappa pie strap match on the way. Nobody wins here.
• 2:46:57
  Speaker 1: There are no winners, only losers. We have Koraje Aide
• 2:47:07
  Speaker 1: Korra What is that? Don't you know what? If you
• 2:47:09
  Speaker 1: don't know what a Yappa pie strap matches, don't even
• 2:47:11
  Speaker 1: bother asking. It's very real though. Ronda Rousey in a
• 2:47:17
  Speaker 1: Yappa pie strap man. God, that sounds absolutely awful, absolutely dreadful.
• 2:47:26
  Speaker 1: Coorage Aide against Ronda Rousey a in a Yappa pie
• 2:47:34
  Speaker 1: strap match. It all comes down to this. This is it.
• 2:47:45
  Speaker 1: We're almost three hours in. This would be like the
• 2:47:48
  Speaker 1: main event of a three hour SmackDown. You've made it
• 2:47:50
  Speaker 1: this far. We need to make it worth your while.
• 2:47:53
  Speaker 1: We need a good stipulation. We have a submission match,
• 2:48:02
  Speaker 1: not a bad stipulation. Could be a lot worse. I
• 2:48:06
  Speaker 1: like it. So here we go, no pin falls, submissions only.
• 2:48:16
  Speaker 1: This is the longest and largest, by the way. Addition
• 2:48:19
  Speaker 1: to be the booker that we have ever done. This
• 2:48:23
  Speaker 1: is tremendous.
• 2:48:25
  Speaker 2: We have oh no, oh boy, oh boy, it's back Yoshihiko.
• 2:48:41
  Speaker 1: Yoshihiko the blow up Doll is in the main event
• 2:48:47
  Speaker 1: of be the Booker in a submission match. I cannot believe.
• 2:48:55
  Speaker 1: I cannot believe that Yoshihiko has We just had Yoshihiko
• 2:49:00
  Speaker 1: a few weeks ago, ring the bell. No, no, no, no,
• 2:49:06
  Speaker 1: we got to find an opponent first. What is that?
• 2:49:14
  Speaker 1: There's so many people who are uncultured in this shadow
• 2:49:17
  Speaker 1: of no idea. Fuck this, he's getting a second drum roll?
• 2:49:22
  Speaker 1: How do you not know Yoshihiko. Gotta know your wrestling history.
• 2:49:27
  Speaker 1: Yoshihiko and Shingo Takagi. There you go. What a fucking
• 2:49:34
  Speaker 1: main event. Yoshihiko and Shingo in a submission match. That's it.
• 2:49:48
  Speaker 1: That's it. What do you think of the overall card?
• 2:49:50
  Speaker 1: Is it better than Saturday Night's main event? I think so.
• 2:49:55
  Speaker 1: I would say so yes. Super Pony says, would they
• 2:50:01
  Speaker 1: ask Randy to take a pay cut? No? There are
• 2:50:09
  Speaker 1: certain people who I think they know better, and I
• 2:50:13
  Speaker 1: cannot imagine going to Randy Orton and asking him to
• 2:50:17
  Speaker 1: take a pay cut. Who goes over Yoshihiko. Clearly, Yoshihiko
• 2:50:25
  Speaker 1: strikes the main event seen again. You know Yoshiko is
• 2:50:30
  Speaker 1: going over. Kevin says, CM Punk, CM Punk. I like Sammy,
• 2:50:37
  Speaker 1: but I'm glad that Punk won. So is everybody else
• 2:50:41
  Speaker 1: in Chicago based on the sounds of it. Tonight, super
• 2:50:46
  Speaker 1: Pony says, am I wrong to feel like bron Breaker
• 2:50:48
  Speaker 1: and Gunther are dead characters? I don't feel anything when
• 2:50:51
  Speaker 1: I see either one of them on TV anymore. No,
• 2:50:54
  Speaker 1: you're not wrong. I wouldn't say I don't feel anything
• 2:50:57
  Speaker 1: like when Gunther's on screen, but he's definitely lost a
• 2:51:00
  Speaker 1: lot of the aura that he had earlier in the year.
• 2:51:02
  Speaker 1: He just feels he's lost something, and Breaker has absolutely
• 2:51:08
  Speaker 1: lost something. Jacob Fatu, I mean he's worse off now
• 2:51:12
  Speaker 1: than he was going into that feud. But Roman, I mean,
• 2:51:15
  Speaker 1: this is this is a problem. This is a problem
• 2:51:18
  Speaker 1: with multiple people right now in WWE. It's not good
• 2:51:26
  Speaker 1: and Navy forty one eighty one. Send Sammy to Triple
• 2:51:30
  Speaker 1: A as l Generico. It did wonders for Kaiser. Plus
• 2:51:34
  Speaker 1: he'll be in good hands with the under Taco. I
• 2:51:38
  Speaker 1: don't know why he called him the under Taco, but
• 2:51:40
  Speaker 1: that is fucking hilarious. That would be the most hilarious
• 2:51:44
  Speaker 1: auto correct in the history of auto correct the under Taco. Wow.
• 2:51:54
  Speaker 1: I don't even know what to say to that. EJ.
• 2:51:57
  Speaker 1: Slim says, as Yoshihiko's number one fan is much which
• 2:52:00
  Speaker 1: is I love Shingo and Okada. I wish Yoshi Yoshihiko
• 2:52:03
  Speaker 1: is facing American talent instead. Well, maybe Yoshihiko could go
• 2:52:08
  Speaker 1: on the excursion. Send Yoshihiko on excursion to the States.
• 2:52:15
  Speaker 1: The only thing is like to get Yoshihiko's work visa
• 2:52:18
  Speaker 1: taken care of. It might take some time. I don't
• 2:52:28
  Speaker 1: I don't know where that that's what it says. It's
• 2:52:30
  Speaker 1: what it says in the super chat Mikey claiming why
• 2:52:37
  Speaker 1: don't we see submission matches anymore? I don't know. I
• 2:52:42
  Speaker 1: mean there's a decent number of people I feel like
• 2:52:45
  Speaker 1: who who have submission finishers gun through with the sleeper.
• 2:52:51
  Speaker 1: Look at Russev tonight he won with the Accolade Punkasniana
• 2:52:55
  Speaker 1: con device. I mean, there are others, so if they
• 2:53:01
  Speaker 1: could do it, it's just not a very popular stipulation.
• 2:53:05
  Speaker 1: You have to save it for I guess, the right
• 2:53:06
  Speaker 1: occasion and preferably have two people who are either submission
• 2:53:11
  Speaker 1: specialists or they have a submission move and then you
• 2:53:15
  Speaker 1: can do it. But it's not a very sexy stipulation.
• 2:53:18
  Speaker 1: You're not gonna sell any tickets or ESPN app purchases
• 2:53:25
  Speaker 1: with a submission match. Ooh book Yoshihiko to h Og.
• 2:53:34
  Speaker 1: That's interesting. Could be some tough negotiations going on. I'm
• 2:53:40
  Speaker 1: gonna need an interpreter first. I may have to look
• 2:53:44
  Speaker 1: into that. And Super Pony, we never got Ko again
• 2:53:48
  Speaker 1: Seamus one on one that sucks. That does suck, and
• 2:53:54
  Speaker 1: they spent many years together on the main roster and
• 2:53:57
  Speaker 1: they never they never had a singles match. That's crazy,
• 2:54:04
  Speaker 1: Holy shit wrestling. Have you ever seen the one hundred
• 2:54:07
  Speaker 1: and eight man Japan Rumble in twenty eleven? I have not.
• 2:54:12
  Speaker 1: I am unaware of this. That's a lot of people anyway,
• 2:54:21
  Speaker 1: Thank you guys. This has been a blowaway stream here.
• 2:54:26
  Speaker 1: We just passed the three hour mark. It is almost
• 2:54:30
  Speaker 1: two fifteen in the morning here on the East Coast.
• 2:54:33
  Speaker 1: Big raw and we got a big dynamite coming up
• 2:54:37
  Speaker 1: on Wednesday again. MJF Kenny Omega. If Omega does not win,
• 2:54:41
  Speaker 1: he can never again challenge for the AW World Championship.
• 2:54:45
  Speaker 1: Why are they doing this on television and not saving
• 2:54:47
  Speaker 1: it for Redemption. Hopefully that will become clear at the
• 2:54:51
  Speaker 1: end of the show on Wednesday, because on the surface
• 2:54:54
  Speaker 1: it seems very stupid. Takeshta is defending his international title
• 2:54:58
  Speaker 1: against Kyle Fletcher. Takesha is on his way to Japan
• 2:55:02
  Speaker 1: very soon to be a part of the g One,
• 2:55:04
  Speaker 1: so I would keep an eye out for a title
• 2:55:05
  Speaker 1: change there. Jericho and Shampa and then the Women's Casino
• 2:55:10
  Speaker 1: Gauntlet Athena enters in number one, Maya World enters in
• 2:55:13
  Speaker 1: number two. The winner will challenge Tekla for the Women's
• 2:55:16
  Speaker 1: World Championship at Redemption. So big show coming up on Wednesday.
• 2:55:24
  Speaker 1: Any new movies that you are going to be seeing soon.
• 2:55:26
  Speaker 1: I have my tickets already purchased for The Odyssey next week,
• 2:55:31
  Speaker 1: I believe on Thursday. Wish me luck. It's a three
• 2:55:35
  Speaker 1: hour movie. You know how long it took me to
• 2:55:37
  Speaker 1: finally see The Batman. I was very intimidated by the
• 2:55:40
  Speaker 1: runtime of that movie. But I will be seeing The
• 2:55:43
  Speaker 1: Odyssey in It's not even real Imax. I mean, it's
• 2:55:47
  Speaker 1: what they call limax. It's an Imax screen, but it's
• 2:55:50
  Speaker 1: not like it's not real imax. It's like maybe a
• 2:55:54
  Speaker 1: slightly bigger regular screen. It's the best I could do.
• 2:56:00
  Speaker 1: So anyway, that'll be the next movie I see, so
• 2:56:02
  Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to it in Nolan, I trust. I'll
• 2:56:07
  Speaker 1: just say that it's Christopher Nolan movie in Nolan. I
• 2:56:11
  Speaker 1: trust that'll be the next one. All right, be well,
• 2:56:16
  Speaker 1: stay safe. Thank you guys again for this. Again, we
