Latest / Solomonster Sounds Off / WWE Raw 6/1/26 Review | Jacob Fatu ACKNOWLEDGES Roman Reigns, King of the Ring Begins!
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: What is going on, guys. This is another early review
- 0:03Speaker 1: as WWE makes its way through Europe. They stayed over
- 0:07Speaker 1: in Italy, and on that note, we have breaking news here,
- 0:10Speaker 1: breaking non wrestling news. But it is kind of eerie
- 0:14Speaker 1: when you consider where they were for Raw tonight. A
- 0:19Speaker 1: six point one magnitude earthquake has struck southern Italy. This
- 0:24Speaker 1: is just happening over the past hour or so. This
- 0:28Speaker 1: happened in the early hours of Tuesday over there, around
- 0:31Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty kilometers deep, which I guess is
- 0:35Speaker 1: a good thing. Then it was that deep, this would
- 0:39Speaker 1: not directly affect Turin. So Turin is where they were
- 0:42Speaker 1: for Raw, that is in northern Italy, and this apparently
- 0:46Speaker 1: happened in southern Italy. But still the timing is just
- 0:50Speaker 1: wild for this. So I don't know if this rises
- 0:53Speaker 1: to the level of too much damage or a loss
- 0:58Speaker 1: of life or anything like that. But hopefully everybody over
- 1:00Speaker 1: there is safe. But those are the reports coming in
- 1:03Speaker 1: from Italy. There was no earthquake tonight where they were
- 1:07Speaker 1: for Raw, although there were parts of the show I
- 1:10Speaker 1: will say where the hard camera was shaking, especially when
- 1:12Speaker 1: Raymonsterio was out there. It kind of felt like there
- 1:15Speaker 1: was an earthquake if you were watching it the way
- 1:17Speaker 1: the camera was shaking. I don't, at least I don't
- 1:20Speaker 1: think it was an earthquake. Who knows, who knows. But
- 1:24Speaker 1: this was the fallout to Clash in Italy last night.
- 1:28Speaker 1: We were here talking about that show twenty four hours ago,
- 1:32Speaker 1: and so this was the follow up to that. The
- 1:35Speaker 1: big follow up was Jacob Fatu and Roman Reigns. They
- 1:38Speaker 1: had a match for the World Heavyweight Championship. Roman beat
- 1:41Speaker 1: him and so by virtue of that loss, Jacob Fatu
- 1:44Speaker 1: would have to man up, be a man of his word,
- 1:47Speaker 1: and he would have to acknowledge Roman Reigns as his
- 1:50Speaker 1: tribal chief. It seems like most of these shows are
- 1:53Speaker 1: built around something of an acknowledgment, ceremony or some just
- 1:59Speaker 1: as the same to it all. So Roman wanted to
- 2:02Speaker 1: be acknowledged, and he got acknowledged. And for the time being,
- 2:06Speaker 1: it appears that Jacob Fatu has fallen in line and
- 2:10Speaker 1: we now have Bloodline two point zero. We now have
- 2:15Speaker 1: the official sequel, and now see there's been other like
- 2:17Speaker 1: offshoots of the bloodline. We have TMU blood Line over
- 2:20Speaker 1: on SmackDown. But if you really just kind of consider
- 2:23Speaker 1: the blood Line as like that one faction, uh, the
- 2:26Speaker 1: one that you had sammy' z ain in there and
- 2:28Speaker 1: the Usos and Solos Soka. Now we have the official
- 2:32Speaker 1: two point zero version, and I can only hope we
- 2:36Speaker 1: should all be so lucky that the sequel is better
- 2:40Speaker 1: than the original. See, it doesn't happen that way very often.
- 2:42Speaker 1: Some people would say that that's the case for The Godfather.
- 2:45Speaker 1: I would argue that that's the case for some films. Actually.
- 2:50Speaker 1: I happen to be a big fan of Back to
- 2:51Speaker 1: the Future Part two. Whether or not you think Part
- 2:54Speaker 1: two is better than Part one, it's the subjective thing.
- 2:56Speaker 1: Part two is the one that had the hoverboard, right,
- 3:00Speaker 1: I gotta go part two. But it's not something that
- 3:03Speaker 1: happens very often. And look, we knew that this was
- 3:06Speaker 1: going to be the case. They love the Bloodline. They
- 3:09Speaker 1: love it. They love it. It's their bread and butter.
- 3:11Speaker 1: I'm sure TKO loves it. I mean there's been talk
- 3:15Speaker 1: about you know, Ari, Emmanuel and Tko and all of them.
- 3:18Speaker 1: I mean, they're fully behind this, right, They're fully behind
- 3:21Speaker 1: Roman reigns of the World Heavyweight Champion. They're behind the
- 3:23Speaker 1: blood line. They want more of it, so we're gonna
- 3:26Speaker 1: get more of it. And my only hope is that
- 3:28Speaker 1: Jacob Fatsu has done no favors by dropping too straight
- 3:32Speaker 1: to Roman Reigns on two different pls in the same month.
- 3:36Speaker 1: And not only did he lose too straight and couldn't
- 3:38Speaker 1: back up all that talk right on TV, but now
- 3:42Speaker 1: he's bending the knee and he's throwing up the ones,
- 3:47Speaker 1: and he's standing there in the background and he's he
- 3:49Speaker 1: looks like he looks like a sad little puppy dog
- 3:52Speaker 1: in the background following these guys around it. You can
- 3:54Speaker 1: kind of look at it and go, Okay. The longer
- 3:57Speaker 1: term vision here is that in the end, Jacob fought
- 4:03Speaker 1: Too will break free and maybe he'll take a leadership position,
- 4:06Speaker 1: and maybe that six months or a year down the road,
- 4:09Speaker 1: we don't know. But for the time being, he's actually
- 4:12Speaker 1: in a weaker position than he was coming into it.
- 4:15Speaker 1: And if you're a fan of his, then you just
- 4:18Speaker 1: hope that you know they're playing the long game. Fine,
- 4:20Speaker 1: hopefully at the end of all this he'll come out
- 4:22Speaker 1: better for it on the other side, but right now
- 4:23Speaker 1: it just feels like more of the same. We also
- 4:26Speaker 1: had Seth Rollins and bron Breaker in the main event.
- 4:32Speaker 1: This was a rematch from their first match of Backlash,
- 4:34Speaker 1: which bron Breaker won. Seth Rollins got his win back tonight.
- 4:37Speaker 1: This surprised me just because they are both in the
- 4:40Speaker 1: King of the Ring tournament and I had them tabbed
- 4:43Speaker 1: to be the likely final of the King of the
- 4:45Speaker 1: Ring and I still do. By the way, tonight's match
- 4:47Speaker 1: changes nothing because now they're one win apiece. Bron Breaker
- 4:52Speaker 1: beat him the first time. Seth Rollins picked up the
- 4:54Speaker 1: win here in this match, which I would argue was
- 4:57Speaker 1: probably even better than their their last match. They went
- 5:01Speaker 1: over twenty minutes. They had a hell of a main
- 5:03Speaker 1: event is the best thing on the entire show. They
- 5:05Speaker 1: had a hell of a match and when it was over,
- 5:07Speaker 1: Seth Rollins came out the winner. So them meeting in
- 5:12Speaker 1: the finals of the King of the Ring still kind
- 5:14Speaker 1: of works because they're one win apiece and so that
- 5:16Speaker 1: could basically end up being the de facto rubber match
- 5:19Speaker 1: between them. But that was one of the highlights of
- 5:23Speaker 1: the show, was their match. Paul Hayman looks like he's
- 5:26Speaker 1: gonna be going away for a while because Paul Hayman
- 5:28Speaker 1: took a bump, which doesn't happen very often, but he
- 5:31Speaker 1: took a bump. He got speared through the timekeeper's barricade,
- 5:35Speaker 1: as so many before him have. This time it was
- 5:39Speaker 1: Paul Hayman who went through, and I would not expect
- 5:42Speaker 1: to see him back on TV next week. Okay, let's
- 5:45Speaker 1: put it that way. I think we could keep Paul
- 5:46Speaker 1: Hayman off TV for at least a few weeks to
- 5:49Speaker 1: sell the effects of the spear. And then we have
- 5:53Speaker 1: the King and Queen of the Ring tournaments and it
- 5:55Speaker 1: would appear that one hand does not know what the
- 5:59Speaker 1: other hand is doing when it comes to this company.
- 6:02Speaker 1: And the reason I say this, I mean, there's a
- 6:04Speaker 1: lot of reasons that you could point to, but the
- 6:06Speaker 1: reason I say this is because earlier today WWE posted
- 6:11Speaker 1: an updated King of the Ring bracket on their website.
- 6:16Speaker 1: At first, I thought maybe it was something that was
- 6:18Speaker 1: just going around on social media that somebody fabricated and
- 6:21Speaker 1: somebody fell for it. But then I saw the update
- 6:24Speaker 1: from Mike Johnson, a PW insider who had gotten the
- 6:26Speaker 1: information I guess directly off of WWE dot com. So
- 6:29Speaker 1: he himself ended up having to post a retraction later on,
- 6:33Speaker 1: but on WWE dot com they posted an updated bracket
- 6:37Speaker 1: that took out Ricky Saints and Taulatanga and in their place,
- 6:44Speaker 1: and you could argue that this actually improved the tournament.
- 6:47Speaker 1: They were replaced by Sammy Zain and Drew McIntyre in
- 6:52Speaker 1: separate matches on that side of the bracket, so we
- 6:55Speaker 1: had Royce Keys in that bracket was also moved to
- 6:59Speaker 1: a completely different match. He was moved into the Seth
- 7:02Speaker 1: Rollins four Away with Javon Evans and Sammy Zin and
- 7:05Speaker 1: then Drew McIntyre was in the four away with Finnbalor,
- 7:08Speaker 1: La Knight and Jay Usso. And I saw this and
- 7:14Speaker 1: I'm like, well, they already announced this other bracket and
- 7:18Speaker 1: it's not even twenty four hours later, and now all
- 7:20Speaker 1: of a sudden they're making changes, like these people don't
- 7:22Speaker 1: know what the fuck they're doing. So again, it wasn't
- 7:25Speaker 1: a fake graphic. It was something that they posted on
- 7:27Speaker 1: their website and then they pulled it and they put
- 7:30Speaker 1: the old one back up. And the old one is
- 7:32Speaker 1: what you saw on the air tonight when they showed
- 7:35Speaker 1: the graphic on Monday Night Raw. So there was all
- 7:38Speaker 1: this confusion around well, which one is real and which
- 7:40Speaker 1: one is not? And was it fake or did they
- 7:43Speaker 1: change their minds? And what the hell's going on here?
- 7:44Speaker 1: Drew McIntyre hasn't even been on television since WrestleMania. Did
- 7:48Speaker 1: they just spoil Drew McIntyre's return. Is somebody gonna get
- 7:52Speaker 1: bumped from their spot in the King of the Ring
- 7:54Speaker 1: and he's gonna be the big surprise to replace them?
- 7:56Speaker 1: We don't know, but this comes after Joe Tessitour the
- 8:00Speaker 1: Clash in Italy post show last night, announced Oba Femi
- 8:04Speaker 1: against Penta as a singles match in the King of
- 8:09Speaker 1: the Ring tournament. He thought it was a singles match,
- 8:13Speaker 1: and to be fair, so did I, because at first
- 8:15Speaker 1: glance when they put the bracket up, I thought I
- 8:17Speaker 1: was looking at a series of singles matches, and I
- 8:19Speaker 1: was like, wow, look at this. They expanded the bracket
- 8:24Speaker 1: this time. We're not going with multiman matches. We're actually
- 8:26Speaker 1: gonna get a bunch of singles matches. And my first
- 8:28Speaker 1: thought was why would you do Oba Femi against Penta?
- 8:30Speaker 1: That was my second thought. So anyway, he made the
- 8:33Speaker 1: same mistake that I made. The only difference is I'm
- 8:36Speaker 1: not the one on TV on their own show. So
- 8:38Speaker 1: apparently he announced it as a singles match and had
- 8:40Speaker 1: to walk it back and then he realized it was
- 8:42Speaker 1: a four way match and not a singles match. But
- 8:43Speaker 1: the whole thing is a fucking mess. So anyway, with
- 8:47Speaker 1: all of that out of the way, With all of
- 8:49Speaker 1: that out of the way, let me bring up the
- 8:52Speaker 1: Queen of the Ring bracket and just show you where
- 8:55Speaker 1: things are in terms of who goes where in this thing.
- 8:58Speaker 1: What we saw tonight on this show, we had one
- 9:01Speaker 1: women's qualified not qualifying, but one women's first round match,
- 9:06Speaker 1: which was the one that you see there in the
- 9:08Speaker 1: upper right hand corner. It was rox Sane Perez Eosky
- 9:12Speaker 1: Julia here in Italy and lash Legend. Eosky is moving
- 9:19Speaker 1: on to the next round of the tournament, which makes
- 9:21Speaker 1: me very happy because she would have been my pick
- 9:24Speaker 1: to win that anyway, and so we had that on
- 9:27Speaker 1: the women's side. Now, nothing has changed in terms of
- 9:30Speaker 1: this bracket. I don't think wwe posted and updated women's bracket,
- 9:34Speaker 1: so this one is still accurate. The Live Morgan match
- 9:38Speaker 1: you see in the upper left hand corner, and yes,
- 9:40Speaker 1: it is very bizarre that live Morgan is in this tournament,
- 9:43Speaker 1: although it seems likely to me that she's gonna end
- 9:45Speaker 1: up probably being bounced with some interference I would think
- 9:51Speaker 1: from a returning Stephanie Vicaire. Even if that's what ends
- 9:54Speaker 1: up happening here, and I'm sure it will, it still
- 9:56Speaker 1: feels like a wasted spot. That match, though, is going
- 9:59Speaker 1: to be taking place on Raw in Paris, which is
- 10:02Speaker 1: next week, I believe, also in early two pm Eastern
- 10:05Speaker 1: start time. Now the King of the Ring bracket, and
- 10:08Speaker 1: again this is the accurate, still current King of the
- 10:12Speaker 1: Ring bracket, with the exception of the first winner, which
- 10:16Speaker 1: we now know, and I will direct your attention to
- 10:18Speaker 1: the upper left hand corner. You've seen the match there
- 10:21Speaker 1: with Penta Obafemi, Solo Socoa and Carmelo Hayes. We got
- 10:27Speaker 1: that match on Raw tonight, which actually was a hell
- 10:29Speaker 1: of a lot of fun. And Obafemi the ruler is
- 10:33Speaker 1: moving on to the semi finals of this tournament, which
- 10:37Speaker 1: is very interesting because now he is no longer protected
- 10:42Speaker 1: if you're concerned about him losing or he's got all
- 10:45Speaker 1: singles matches from this point forward, if he's going to
- 10:48Speaker 1: go to the finals and win this thing, because if
- 10:51Speaker 1: they wanted to have some fuckery and bounce him out
- 10:53Speaker 1: without him taking a direct loss. They had their chance
- 10:56Speaker 1: to do so on this show tonight, and they didn't,
- 10:58Speaker 1: and I'm glad they didn't because Oba Femi needed to
- 11:02Speaker 1: come out and look dominant tonight, coming off the first
- 11:04Speaker 1: loss that he has taken on the main roster, I
- 11:06Speaker 1: think it was very important for him to go out
- 11:08Speaker 1: there and show why he is all hyped up to
- 11:12Speaker 1: be the next big thing. And he did and what
- 11:15Speaker 1: we ended up getting again I thought, was a very
- 11:17Speaker 1: good match, second best thing on the entire show. And
- 11:22Speaker 1: we'll talk more about what this means and Oba and
- 11:24Speaker 1: Brock and all that here in a little bit. So
- 11:26Speaker 1: that's where things stand as far as the two tournaments go.
- 11:29Speaker 1: We know the winners. The finals will be taking place
- 11:32Speaker 1: at Night of Champions in Riad later this month. Now,
- 11:35Speaker 1: I also, just real quick, want to bring the King
- 11:37Speaker 1: of the Ring back up. If you notice lower right
- 11:40Speaker 1: hand corner, you see Finn Balor. His box is blue,
- 11:45Speaker 1: and so people were talking about, well, look at this,
- 11:47Speaker 1: they made a mistake here because Balor's on Raw and
- 11:50Speaker 1: he's got a blue box. He's not on SmackDown. Well,
- 11:52Speaker 1: guess what, Yes, he is. He is now because Finn
- 11:57Speaker 1: Balor has officially been traded to the SmackDown brand that
- 12:03Speaker 1: comes from Byron Saxton during one of the commercial breaks
- 12:06Speaker 1: tonight during Raw, so trading the Judgment Day vortex for
- 12:11Speaker 1: the MFTs vortex. This poor guy. Look, I'm very happy
- 12:16Speaker 1: that he's finally moving away from the Judgment Day. But
- 12:18Speaker 1: if you don't think he isn't going to be sucked
- 12:19Speaker 1: into that mft's vortex, then you got another thing coming.
- 12:24Speaker 1: But hey, you know he's going to be sharing the
- 12:26Speaker 1: same brand again with Damian Priest, so maybe at some
- 12:29Speaker 1: point they kind of link back up together. It's always possible,
- 12:33Speaker 1: very interesting that they would use the language traded. They
- 12:39Speaker 1: didn't say that he moved, They didn't say that he
- 12:42Speaker 1: was added to the SmackDown roster. That is, he was
- 12:45Speaker 1: a free agent and he decided to sign with SmackDown.
- 12:48Speaker 1: He was traded to SmackDown. And I always talk about
- 12:52Speaker 1: like the lack of trade talk between the two general managers.
- 12:55Speaker 1: You have two gms, you have one for Raw one
- 12:57Speaker 1: for SmackDown, and we don't have enough of that over
- 13:00Speaker 1: the course of the year. I'm not saying you need
- 13:02Speaker 1: to do it every month, but we should have more
- 13:04Speaker 1: of this, you know, we should show more of the
- 13:07Speaker 1: dialogue between the two gms. Maybe sometimes things get a
- 13:10Speaker 1: little heated. They work out certain trade deals every now
- 13:13Speaker 1: and then, like you'll hear about some blockbuster breaking news,
- 13:16Speaker 1: big sports trade on ESPN, where like ten fucking NBA
- 13:21Speaker 1: players get traded or something like. They don't do that.
- 13:25Speaker 1: They don't do that, and I don't know why they
- 13:27Speaker 1: don't do that more often. But again, they said that
- 13:30Speaker 1: he was traded from Raw to SmackDown, which would imply
- 13:33Speaker 1: that Raw would get something in return. I don't know.
- 13:37Speaker 1: Maybe Jacob fa Tou suddenly being on Raw, maybe maybe
- 13:41Speaker 1: that's the one for one. Maybe that's the trade and
- 13:44Speaker 1: there's nobody else to be traded. We still don't know.
- 13:46Speaker 1: By the way we're seeing Punk is going to end
- 13:48Speaker 1: up once we see him back on TV, whenever that
- 13:50Speaker 1: may be. Obviously he's not in the King of the
- 13:52Speaker 1: Ring tournament. But as far as we're aw tonight not
- 13:56Speaker 1: a great show. It was a good show, and it
- 13:59Speaker 1: was a good show because the two matches that I mentioned.
- 14:01Speaker 1: The main event was very good. The men's King of
- 14:03Speaker 1: the Ring match, I thought was good. That was fun,
- 14:06Speaker 1: and then you have a hot Italian crowd. That's the
- 14:09Speaker 1: second best thing you could ask for, is a hot
- 14:12Speaker 1: Italian after a hot Italian woman. It's a hot Italian
- 14:15Speaker 1: crowd that played a very big part in the energy
- 14:20Speaker 1: level on the show tonight, and so it ended up
- 14:23Speaker 1: being a good raw and that had a lot to
- 14:25Speaker 1: do with it. We'll get into what happened, because honestly,
- 14:27Speaker 1: a lot of the other stuff that we had on
- 14:29Speaker 1: the show, there really wasn't a whole lot else that
- 14:31Speaker 1: happened here on this episode. But this is your raw
- 14:34Speaker 1: review here from Turin, Italy. It is Monday, it is
- 14:38Speaker 1: a brand new month. We have flipped the page on
- 14:40Speaker 1: the calendar. It is June first, twenty twenty six. I'm
- 14:45Speaker 1: the I'm the Solomasias. That is one lopsided trade. What
- 14:51Speaker 1: would that look like, some big breaking news, big blockbuster
- 14:55Speaker 1: trade between Adam Pearson Nick All this fucking five people
- 14:59Speaker 1: have moved to smack Down and six people have moved
- 15:02Speaker 1: over to raw Man. They don't have enough fun with it.
- 15:07Speaker 1: If you're gonna have a brand spoil, at least try
- 15:09Speaker 1: to have fun with it. Hit that leg button, hit
- 15:11Speaker 1: that subscribe button, and you could also hit the super
- 15:14Speaker 1: chat button if you want to drop one. I will
- 15:16Speaker 1: be reading all of your messages and you'll see them
- 15:18Speaker 1: popping up on your screen as we progress through the review.
- 15:21Speaker 1: So I appreciate all the help here. Reggie, welcome to
- 15:25Speaker 1: the channel, Welcome to all of our new subs from
- 15:27Speaker 1: over the past week. We're gonna spin the wheel. Actually,
- 15:32Speaker 1: before I do, just thank you to everybody who joined
- 15:35Speaker 1: me yesterday for the Clash in Italy review, and again
- 15:38Speaker 1: the full review is up if you missed it, which
- 15:41Speaker 1: had an epic, and epic does not necessarily mean good,
- 15:46Speaker 1: but an all timer as far as our be. The
- 15:48Speaker 1: Booker segment, holy shit, I don't know what the hell
- 15:52Speaker 1: happened last night, but it was one for the ages,
- 15:56Speaker 1: that's for sure. So if you weren't entertained by Clash
- 15:59Speaker 1: in Italy, I guarantee you'll be at least be entertained
- 16:01Speaker 1: by the end of the stream. So you can go
- 16:04Speaker 1: back and check that out on the channel. When we
- 16:07Speaker 1: are done here, spin the wheel and find out how
- 16:11Speaker 1: many likes we need if we're going to do another
- 16:12Speaker 1: one of those, be the Booker. Maybe we shouldn't, Maybe
- 16:14Speaker 1: we should give be the book or arrest for like
- 16:16Speaker 1: a week after what happened last night. I don't know, well,
- 16:22Speaker 1: you know, based on this, I think we may be
- 16:23Speaker 1: giving it a rest anyway tonight. Seven hundred is very ambitious,
- 16:27Speaker 1: especially because we're not streaming in our usual time, so
- 16:31Speaker 1: there are some people who are not joining us. That's
- 16:34Speaker 1: going to be tough. It's doable, but it's going to
- 16:38Speaker 1: be very difficult. Seven hundred likes, that is the goals.
- 16:43Speaker 1: See what we can do, So we'll start from the top.
- 16:47Speaker 1: After a recap for Clash in Italy, they pitched it
- 16:52Speaker 1: outside the building where Roman Reigns and the Ussos arrived,
- 16:55Speaker 1: and they made their way into the arena as all
- 16:58Speaker 1: of the Italian fans started singing for Roman Reigns down
- 17:02Speaker 1: to the ring, just as they did last night for
- 17:04Speaker 1: his match. So Roman said, there's no day quite like
- 17:08Speaker 1: Acknowledgment Day. At least he didn't say the Judgment Day.
- 17:15Speaker 1: You know, now that these two groups are on the
- 17:17Speaker 1: same brand, you could technically we could get some sort
- 17:20Speaker 1: of feud between the Bloodline and the Judgment Day. The
- 17:23Speaker 1: only problem is the Judgment Day has Dom and McDonough
- 17:29Speaker 1: and that's it. That's it. The rest are ladies. The
- 17:33Speaker 1: bloodline has no ladies, so that would be kind of
- 17:37Speaker 1: difficult to do. I don't know that anybody really wants
- 17:40Speaker 1: to see Dominic Mysterio and JD McDonough feuding with Roman
- 17:43Speaker 1: reigns and the rest of the bloodline, but I suppose
- 17:47Speaker 1: we could get it at some point. Jay Uso pointed
- 17:51Speaker 1: out that Jacob Fott, who is already late his first night,
- 17:54Speaker 1: and he's late for the ceremony. So that brought Jacob
- 17:57Speaker 1: out to the ring and he walks out there and
- 17:59Speaker 1: he just looks. He just looks so defeated, and he
- 18:03Speaker 1: gets in the ring and he's sizing up. Jay Usso
- 18:05Speaker 1: gets up in his face. Before he addressed Roman and
- 18:09Speaker 1: he said he knew what he was getting into last
- 18:11Speaker 1: night with tribal combat. What would happen if he won,
- 18:14Speaker 1: what would happen if he lost? He acknowledged that last
- 18:18Speaker 1: night he lost, and he said that he was a
- 18:20Speaker 1: man of his word. Last night I lost to my
- 18:24Speaker 1: tribal chief. Encroaching reality. I would like to see Roman
- 18:29Speaker 1: against dom loll. Actually, the way things are shaping up
- 18:33Speaker 1: in that King of the Ring tournament, if I bring
- 18:35Speaker 1: the bracket back up here real quick, Obafemi is already advanced.
- 18:40Speaker 1: Look who's in the bracket right below him. In theory,
- 18:44Speaker 1: we could end up with Obafemi against Dominique Mysterio in
- 18:48Speaker 1: the semi finals. Wouldn't that be something? Wouldn't that be something?
- 18:56Speaker 1: If someone actually cost Obafemi the match and dom beat him, Yeah,
- 19:01Speaker 1: that would be an all time dumb booking decision, is
- 19:03Speaker 1: what that would be. Anyway, Thank you brother, that's Misfit
- 19:10Speaker 1: Wrestling Podcast. Thank you for the fifteen bucks. But Jacob
- 19:15Speaker 1: said he's a man of his word. He said, last
- 19:16Speaker 1: night I lost to my tribal chief, but he didn't
- 19:21Speaker 1: lose to Jay's punk ass. So Fought two turned back
- 19:25Speaker 1: to Roman. He officially acknowledged him. He took a knee.
- 19:29Speaker 1: Roman then took Fat Two's hand. He pulled him up.
- 19:32Speaker 1: He said that you might not understand this right now,
- 19:34Speaker 1: but I love you. And Jimmy says that Fat two
- 19:38Speaker 1: is with them now and they are the ones. And
- 19:40Speaker 1: so the four of them threw up the ones into
- 19:43Speaker 1: the air, and I had flashbacks two three years ago
- 19:47Speaker 1: on Smackdan. I feel I feel like I'm kind of
- 19:50Speaker 1: going backwards instead of going forwards. So we officially have
- 19:54Speaker 1: bloodline two point zero. There it is. This is like
- 19:57Speaker 1: the new Age. We were joking about this. What was
- 20:01Speaker 1: it like a week ago, two weeks ago, back in
- 20:04Speaker 1: the day, if you would just add two thousand onto something,
- 20:07Speaker 1: it was supposed to make it sound so much cooler
- 20:10Speaker 1: in wo two thousand. Now we have bloodline two thousand, amazing.
- 20:19Speaker 1: The only difference is that Jacob Fatuna is in there
- 20:21Speaker 1: in place of Solo Socoa, which, to be fair, I
- 20:24Speaker 1: mean that could end up being kind of like a
- 20:25Speaker 1: horseman deal where the horsemen used to have only but
- 20:29Speaker 1: then they upgraded when they added Barry Wyndham. I would say,
- 20:32Speaker 1: this is a bit of an upgrade over you know,
- 20:34Speaker 1: the previous version, unless you count Sammy's ain't you throw
- 20:39Speaker 1: Sammy in there? That's still the peak version of the bloodline.
- 20:44Speaker 1: But the problem is, again in my opinion, that they
- 20:46Speaker 1: even felt the need to run this back in the
- 20:48Speaker 1: first place. I'm trying to be optimistic as I look
- 20:51Speaker 1: at this, and I'm hopeful that the end result of
- 20:55Speaker 1: this will be Jacob and the USOS eventually turning on
- 20:58Speaker 1: Roman reigns. Yeah, I point out very often that Roman
- 21:02Speaker 1: hasn't changed at all Roman has basically just like if
- 21:06Speaker 1: you watch him and listen to him and he's smirking
- 21:09Speaker 1: and talking all kinds of shit, he's basically, I say, reverted,
- 21:14Speaker 1: but I don't think he ever really changed. It's the
- 21:16Speaker 1: Roman reigns of a few years ago when he was
- 21:18Speaker 1: having that long dominant title run. It's the same fucking guy,
- 21:22Speaker 1: and so at some point you would hope that somebody
- 21:24Speaker 1: puts him in his place. I know the fans right
- 21:26Speaker 1: now are cheering him now again they're in Italy, and
- 21:29Speaker 1: so you know he's got roots in Italy. He was
- 21:31Speaker 1: always going to get wildly cheered in Italy. Realistically, he
- 21:36Speaker 1: was gonna get wildly cheered probably anywhere. Does that start
- 21:39Speaker 1: to wear off, Like if he is basically mistreating Jacob
- 21:44Speaker 1: Fatu and they sell it like you want to have
- 21:46Speaker 1: sympathy for fa Tou because he feels like this is
- 21:51Speaker 1: family honor and he's got to just fall in line,
- 21:53Speaker 1: and people start feeling sorry for him, does the crowd
- 21:56Speaker 1: reaction begin to turn against Roman? Oh? No, I feel
- 22:00Speaker 1: like Roman is kind of He's kind of in that
- 22:04Speaker 1: category now where you would have to really work very hard,
- 22:07Speaker 1: I think to get these crowds to boo him or
- 22:09Speaker 1: to root against him. It's possible, you can do it,
- 22:13Speaker 1: but it's not going to be easy. You know. He's
- 22:15Speaker 1: kind of crossed over into that realm where just people
- 22:18Speaker 1: don't want to boo him, you know, they think he's cool.
- 22:20Speaker 1: He's got a certain aura to him, and that's just
- 22:25Speaker 1: the way it is. But yet he's still a total
- 22:27Speaker 1: dick when he's out there. So you would hope at
- 22:29Speaker 1: some point Jacob kind of wakes up and snaps out
- 22:32Speaker 1: of it and says, yeah, I'm not taking this shit
- 22:34Speaker 1: no more, and then on the other side of this,
- 22:36Speaker 1: he'll come out a bigger name for it. Maybe he
- 22:38Speaker 1: will take a leadership position in the bloodline, because again,
- 22:41Speaker 1: the blood line's going to keep looping forever. The bloodline
- 22:43Speaker 1: will still continue to loop and loop and loop long
- 22:46Speaker 1: after Roman is no longer the tribal chief. Like they've
- 22:49Speaker 1: hitched their wagon too. The bloodline, it's not going anywhere.
- 22:52Speaker 1: That's my hope, you know, when we get to that point,
- 22:55Speaker 1: hopefully that's how it ends up for Jacob and he'll
- 22:58Speaker 1: end up at a level above where he is right now,
- 23:00Speaker 1: which should be the goal, you know, to kind of
- 23:03Speaker 1: elevate him in the eyes of the fans, to that
- 23:05Speaker 1: next level. They didn't do that. Last month. They put
- 23:09Speaker 1: him in there twice against the world champion. He talked
- 23:11Speaker 1: all kinds of shit, he came up with a brand
- 23:13Speaker 1: new finishing move that he still has yet to win
- 23:15Speaker 1: a single match with, and he fucking lost both times.
- 23:19Speaker 1: It doesn't get any worse than that. It's almost like
- 23:22Speaker 1: we have to beat him down with the idea that
- 23:24Speaker 1: we're just at that point. Once we've beaten him down
- 23:27Speaker 1: to where he can't get any lower. Now we're going
- 23:31Speaker 1: to try to build him back up, and for his sake,
- 23:34Speaker 1: I hope they can. In the meantime, though, we have
- 23:37Speaker 1: to watch the Bloodline story play out yet again, all
- 23:40Speaker 1: over again, and so it could be it could be
- 23:43Speaker 1: a while before we get there. I enjoyed the character
- 23:47Speaker 1: development with the original Bloodline, you know, all the members
- 23:51Speaker 1: of the first time around. Maybe they could try to,
- 23:55Speaker 1: you know, recapture some of that here the second time around,
- 23:58Speaker 1: but I don't know. Like I just point to the
- 24:01Speaker 1: and just how lazy this all is because we see
- 24:04Speaker 1: Jimmy and Jay right now, and all they've done with
- 24:06Speaker 1: those two is they've completely just reverted back to the
- 24:09Speaker 1: way they used to be. You know, they were very
- 24:10Speaker 1: subservient to Rome and it's all about family honor and
- 24:13Speaker 1: family pride, and he's the tribal chief and you have
- 24:15Speaker 1: to acknowledge and blah blah blah. But then eventually, you know,
- 24:20Speaker 1: they they kind of found their balls and they grew
- 24:23Speaker 1: a set, so to speak, and they found their independence.
- 24:27Speaker 1: But now they've just gone back to the exact same
- 24:29Speaker 1: positions that they were in previously, and there really was
- 24:33Speaker 1: no explanation for it, I guess other than this idea that, well,
- 24:36Speaker 1: we're stronger when we're united. I can remember a time
- 24:40Speaker 1: where Jay Usso confronted Roman Rains backstage. Was it last year,
- 24:46Speaker 1: maybe the year before, I don't know. I think it
- 24:47Speaker 1: was last year, And this is when Roman was not
- 24:50Speaker 1: apologizing necessarily for how he treated Jay, but he was
- 24:55Speaker 1: kind of trying to get the band back together. And
- 24:57Speaker 1: do you remember when Jay Uso said to him, like,
- 25:00Speaker 1: from now on, we're equals. If this is gonna work,
- 25:03Speaker 1: you and me, we're like this on the same level.
- 25:07Speaker 1: We're equals. Whatever happened to that, I don't know. It
- 25:12Speaker 1: seems to have just been forgotten about. I guess Jays
- 25:15Speaker 1: comfortable no longer being equals, because he sure doesn't come
- 25:18Speaker 1: off as an equal to Roman reigns. It's just stuff
- 25:21Speaker 1: like that that annoys me. You know, people will talk
- 25:24Speaker 1: about it's cinema, it's this, it's that. Yeah, well it's
- 25:27Speaker 1: terrible cinema. You know. If you're gonna do that, you
- 25:30Speaker 1: got to pay attention to the little details. They haven't
- 25:33Speaker 1: really taken the you know, taking great pains to explain
- 25:38Speaker 1: some of this and why the ussos are just you know,
- 25:41Speaker 1: they've just completely regressed back to the way they used
- 25:44Speaker 1: to be. Is that the kind of cinema and storytelling
- 25:46Speaker 1: that we could expect over these next six to twelve months.
- 25:48Speaker 1: I sure hope not. And there's definitely nothing interesting to
- 25:54Speaker 1: me about potentially feuding these guys with the MFTs now
- 25:59Speaker 1: they only kind of hinted at it. I really hope
- 26:03Speaker 1: that doesn't happen. At some point. I already have people saying, well,
- 26:05Speaker 1: there's your war games match. I sure as fuck hope not.
- 26:09Speaker 1: We already had that two years ago. We don't need
- 26:11Speaker 1: that again right now. The MFTs, I don't even think
- 26:14Speaker 1: they have enough members anyway. Although Solo Soca hasn't given
- 26:19Speaker 1: up yet on trying to recruit Royce Keys, and they've
- 26:24Speaker 1: taken steps to establish that Royce Keys and Jacob Fatu
- 26:28Speaker 1: are tight. It's entirely possible Royce Keys could end up
- 26:33Speaker 1: on that other side with the MFT. I really hope
- 26:36Speaker 1: not though. But we got our first fatal four way
- 26:42Speaker 1: opening round match in the King of the Ring tournament
- 26:45Speaker 1: with Oba Femei, the Intercontinental champion, Penta, Solo Socoa, and
- 26:52Speaker 1: Carmelo Hayes. Melo is the one they chose to get
- 26:56Speaker 1: the jabber entrance here in this match, which was not televised,
- 27:00Speaker 1: Oba got the big entrance. He strutted to the ring
- 27:04Speaker 1: and the fans were strutting alongside of him. As Oba
- 27:09Speaker 1: entered the ring, his three opponents all went after him,
- 27:12Speaker 1: and he took each of them out one by one,
- 27:14Speaker 1: and then he finished his entrance and he struck the pose.
- 27:18Speaker 1: I thought that was kind of funny, like I'm gonna
- 27:20Speaker 1: finish my entrance. So Oba was in control early. He
- 27:25Speaker 1: engaged in a stare down with Tallatanga, who was at ringside.
- 27:29Speaker 1: At another point outside the ring, Solo started mocking Oba
- 27:33Speaker 1: by doing his struts. See this to me, this is
- 27:35Speaker 1: where Solo Soca shines. Solo Soka is like he's a
- 27:40Speaker 1: naturally funny guy, and it's why I always say like
- 27:44Speaker 1: he's completely miscast here. He is not the leader of
- 27:47Speaker 1: a faction unless that faction is Like my idea from
- 27:53Speaker 1: like last year, if you remember, was I can get
- 27:57Speaker 1: the MFTs over and the way that I would get
- 27:59Speaker 1: to the mft's over it because you had tongaloa who
- 28:03Speaker 1: had botched a couple of times, and yeah, there were
- 28:05Speaker 1: a few things that had happened, and so my whole
- 28:08Speaker 1: thing was, I think you can get these guys over
- 28:10Speaker 1: as baby faces, as like the gang that can't shoot
- 28:13Speaker 1: straight where the face they almost have like an endearing
- 28:17Speaker 1: quality about them. And then you also have to take
- 28:20Speaker 1: the time to really start flushing out some of the
- 28:22Speaker 1: individual characters and let you know, Tomatonga talk and jac
- 28:25Speaker 1: Matteo talk. But I think that there's a way to
- 28:27Speaker 1: get these guys over, including Solo, in a way that
- 28:30Speaker 1: will be entertaining. And then if you want people to
- 28:33Speaker 1: take them more seriously at some point, you know, as babyfaces,
- 28:38Speaker 1: you can do that. I'm not saying turn them just
- 28:40Speaker 1: into the B team, but I felt like there was
- 28:42Speaker 1: a way to make the MFTs entertaining, and instead, what
- 28:46Speaker 1: they've chosen to do here is we're supposed to look
- 28:48Speaker 1: at them and take them seriously as these very intimidating,
- 28:52Speaker 1: you know, heels, like one of the top heel factions
- 28:56Speaker 1: on the brand. Solo comes out in his suit, he
- 28:59Speaker 1: looks like the Godfather. That's not him, that's not him.
- 29:04Speaker 1: It's like he's trying to cosplay his Roman reigns. He
- 29:06Speaker 1: will never be that. But Solo is a naturally funny,
- 29:10Speaker 1: entertaining guy. There's a role for him on the show,
- 29:12Speaker 1: just not the one that he's in. But since they
- 29:15Speaker 1: insist on continuing, you know, using him in this way,
- 29:17Speaker 1: it's just it's torture, you know, watching these shows. Sometimes
- 29:21Speaker 1: that's what makes SmackDown so rough to sit through, is
- 29:25Speaker 1: you know, we have to deal with stuff like that
- 29:26Speaker 1: on a weekly basis. But here he's like doing the
- 29:29Speaker 1: Oba strut, trying to mock him, and I'm sitting here
- 29:32Speaker 1: like laughing my ass off. I'm like, Okay, this guy's
- 29:34Speaker 1: about to get his ass kicked. And Oba got pissed
- 29:37Speaker 1: off and he closelined him over the barricade. He fought
- 29:39Speaker 1: with him into the crowd. If you remember clashing Italy
- 29:42Speaker 1: last night. They had that giant staircase. He's got Solo
- 29:46Speaker 1: on the steps over there. He's just beating his ass.
- 29:50Speaker 1: So later on Solo and Taalatanga, they threw Oba into
- 29:53Speaker 1: the ring post and the big guy sent Oba over
- 29:56Speaker 1: the barricade with a big boot. Meanwhile, Penta he hit
- 30:02Speaker 1: a toe pay out onto Solo, but then Mello caught
- 30:05Speaker 1: him with an over the top dive out of the ring,
- 30:07Speaker 1: almost overshot him. On the dive back inside, Penta driver
- 30:11Speaker 1: dropped mellow. Solo, though, broke up the pit attempt. Outside Oba,
- 30:15Speaker 1: he slowly rose like a sea monster from behind the
- 30:19Speaker 1: barricade and all pissed off. He mowed down Tala with
- 30:25Speaker 1: a big boot. He supplexed him onto and over the
- 30:28Speaker 1: announced desk. He sent Solo halfway across the ring, just
- 30:33Speaker 1: kind of threw him and then he finished him off
- 30:36Speaker 1: with a fall from grace to advance to the semi
- 30:39Speaker 1: final round of the tournament. The fans were going nuts
- 30:45Speaker 1: for Oba on his comeback. He looked like a monster
- 30:47Speaker 1: in there, which he really needed that coming out off
- 30:51Speaker 1: that first loss last night. It's like, okay, well, it's
- 30:54Speaker 1: the first time we've seen him lose a match. How's
- 30:57Speaker 1: he going to react to that? Is he gonna come
- 31:00Speaker 1: out and strut? He did, but then he also killed
- 31:03Speaker 1: a bunch of dudes, which is exactly the way that
- 31:05Speaker 1: Obafemi should be used. Then he went outside, he snatched
- 31:09Speaker 1: the microphone and he took it back into the ring
- 31:11Speaker 1: with him, and he looked into the hard cam and
- 31:14Speaker 1: he addressed his loss to Brocklesner. He said Brocklesner questioned
- 31:18Speaker 1: whether he could take an ass whooping and what would
- 31:20Speaker 1: happen after that? How would he react? He said, after
- 31:24Speaker 1: taking seven f fives, he took Lesner's best shot and
- 31:27Speaker 1: he's still standing. He vowed to win the King of
- 31:30Speaker 1: the Ring, and he reminded Brock that they were one
- 31:33Speaker 1: win apiece, unlike what Brock said where he goes one
- 31:36Speaker 1: plus one, sir. He said, they're one in one and
- 31:42Speaker 1: he told them I'll see you down the line. So
- 31:47Speaker 1: this was a fun match and again re established Oba
- 31:50Speaker 1: as a dominant force despite the loss. And now he
- 31:53Speaker 1: meets the winner of the foe way between Dominic Mysterio,
- 31:56Speaker 1: bron Breaker, Trick Williams and Damian Priest, which feels like
- 32:02Speaker 1: it should be Bron Breaker, and I think most people
- 32:04Speaker 1: would would figure bron Breaker to win that match, especially
- 32:07Speaker 1: coming off a loss tonight. Talk about somebody who could
- 32:11Speaker 1: use a win, one half of the tag team champions
- 32:14Speaker 1: who just lost in the raw main event, Yeah, I
- 32:16Speaker 1: would say that would be a nice comeback for bron Breaker.
- 32:20Speaker 1: Still feels to me like brock Lesner is going to
- 32:22Speaker 1: wind up screwing Oba out of the Crown, probably in
- 32:26Speaker 1: that round and not the finals, and that way that
- 32:30Speaker 1: would send Breaker onward to the fire, especially given the
- 32:33Speaker 1: Paul Hayman connection. It would kind of make more sense
- 32:35Speaker 1: for it to be in that match if Brock was
- 32:37Speaker 1: going to get involved, But it really doesn't make any
- 32:40Speaker 1: sense for Brock to be involved in any capacity in this.
- 32:43Speaker 1: And I kind of touched on this last night when
- 32:45Speaker 1: I was talking about, you know, Brock going over in
- 32:47Speaker 1: that match. It's like, if brock Lesner would have lost
- 32:53Speaker 1: at Clash in Italy, it actually would have made more
- 32:56Speaker 1: sense that he would kind of go off the deep
- 32:59Speaker 1: end and he would show up and cost Obafeming his
- 33:04Speaker 1: match in the King of the Ring tournament. But he
- 33:06Speaker 1: beat him. I know Oba was talking about him here
- 33:10Speaker 1: in this prombo all he really said to Brock, was
- 33:12Speaker 1: you know I took your best shot. I'm still here
- 33:15Speaker 1: and we're all knotted up, and you and I are
- 33:16Speaker 1: going to do this again at some point. It's not
- 33:18Speaker 1: like he said, hey, Brock, go fuck yourself or you know,
- 33:20Speaker 1: fuck your kids or something like that. He didn't say
- 33:23Speaker 1: anything terribly offensive, So like, is just Brock's just going
- 33:28Speaker 1: to show up just for shits and giggles, just to
- 33:30Speaker 1: screw the guy out of the crown. Probably, but it
- 33:34Speaker 1: would have made a hell of a lot more sense
- 33:36Speaker 1: for him to do that if he lost again. That
- 33:38Speaker 1: was one of my points that I made last night.
- 33:40Speaker 1: I just think logically, if that's what they end up doing,
- 33:45Speaker 1: then Brock should have lost, because then it would have
- 33:48Speaker 1: made more sense, right because now he is just he's gone, right.
- 33:53Speaker 1: It's like I he is just that loss sent him
- 33:55Speaker 1: over the edge, and now I'm going to take something
- 33:59Speaker 1: very important away from you. Now you've given Obafemi a
- 34:03Speaker 1: reason to want to get back in the ring with
- 34:05Speaker 1: this guy, even though he's gone two to zero over him.
- 34:09Speaker 1: I guess we'll find out. It still feels to me
- 34:11Speaker 1: like that's probably what's gonna happen, though, because here's the thing.
- 34:14Speaker 1: If Brock does not get involved, if Brock does not
- 34:17Speaker 1: cost Obafemi in the next round or the finals of
- 34:20Speaker 1: this tournament, Obafemi has to win this King of the
- 34:24Speaker 1: Ring crown. Opa Femi cannot go into the King of
- 34:27Speaker 1: the Ring and then lose clean to bron Breaker or
- 34:30Speaker 1: lose clean in the finals. I mean he could, but
- 34:33Speaker 1: I think that would be very dumb. So he's either winning,
- 34:37Speaker 1: which is fine, except again that would make him losing
- 34:41Speaker 1: it clash in Italy that much dumber, or he's getting
- 34:45Speaker 1: screwed out of the crown. Either way, I would have
- 34:49Speaker 1: gone a different way with things that clash in Italy,
- 34:52Speaker 1: is what I'm saying here. Kathy Kelly after this was
- 34:58Speaker 1: in the ring and she was going to welcome out
- 35:01Speaker 1: her guest, the new Women's Intercontinental Champion, Soul Ruka, who
- 35:08Speaker 1: had her wakeboard, and she wakeboarded down to the ring.
- 35:12Speaker 1: Now she did that would have been cool, though maybe
- 35:15Speaker 1: somebody will do that when they have that Beach Blast
- 35:19Speaker 1: episode of Dynamite in July. So she asked a Soul
- 35:23Speaker 1: if she thought that she would be standing here as
- 35:25Speaker 1: a champion only a month after joining Monday Night Raw,
- 35:28Speaker 1: and she believed that she could be a champion, but
- 35:30Speaker 1: most importantly, all of us, all the fans, believed that
- 35:35Speaker 1: she could do it. And she gave Becky Lynch some credit.
- 35:38Speaker 1: She said that she gave her a chance to test
- 35:39Speaker 1: herself against the very best, and she proved Becky wrong.
- 35:44Speaker 1: And it wasn't just her saying it, everybody is saying it.
- 35:49Speaker 1: So she said that the fans deserved a fighting champion,
- 35:53Speaker 1: and I thought that we were about to hear the
- 35:55Speaker 1: words open challenge, and I was like, oh my god. Rankfully,
- 36:01Speaker 1: there was no open challenge issued, but she did say
- 36:03Speaker 1: that she would be a fighting champion. She said that
- 36:06Speaker 1: the souls of those who underestimate her will be her.
- 36:09Speaker 1: I mean, what is she the undertaker digging holes and
- 36:14Speaker 1: taking souls? It is very undertaker issue. The soul snatcher
- 36:21Speaker 1: is a cool move, I don't I mean heard talking
- 36:24Speaker 1: about it in a promo though it just comes up
- 36:26Speaker 1: very I don't know, kind of lame. I will take
- 36:30Speaker 1: your soul, Oh my goodness. Then they shot some pyro
- 36:35Speaker 1: off for her. Am I the only one? As I
- 36:38Speaker 1: was listening to her promo and some of the stuff
- 36:42Speaker 1: that she was saying, the way she was saying it,
- 36:45Speaker 1: if you closed your eyes, I would swear to you
- 36:49Speaker 1: that Live Morgan was in the ring. Why did she
- 36:52Speaker 1: sound like Live Morgan in this promo? So, first time
- 36:54Speaker 1: I've noticed it in one of her promos, I swear
- 36:59Speaker 1: go back and list and at least parts of this promo,
- 37:01Speaker 1: you close your eyes, you would swear that it was
- 37:04Speaker 1: Live Morgan in the ring. As far as the rest
- 37:08Speaker 1: of the promo, yeah, it's very basic. Yeah, it was
- 37:12Speaker 1: a chance for her to come out and say thank you,
- 37:14Speaker 1: which is great. It just doesn't make for very interesting television.
- 37:18Speaker 1: So they aired footage from after the show last night,
- 37:21Speaker 1: and I talked about this during my review of Cody
- 37:23Speaker 1: Roads running into Roman Reigns backstage and they shared a
- 37:28Speaker 1: brief stare down backstage. Roman Reigns told the usos that
- 37:33Speaker 1: he would get to Cody later. He encouraged Jay stay
- 37:37Speaker 1: on Jacob right, adding that Jay is the only one
- 37:40Speaker 1: who understands tough love tough love, and Jay was like,
- 37:43Speaker 1: okay again, I'm just like I've just floored by this whole,
- 37:48Speaker 1: Like we have to be equals, Like when did this
- 37:52Speaker 1: go out the window? So Rain said that Jay, you've
- 37:56Speaker 1: held this title before, but you haven't held the other one, right,
- 38:00Speaker 1: the WWE Championship. So he encouraged Jay to win the
- 38:03Speaker 1: King of the Ring and go on to win Cody's title,
- 38:07Speaker 1: and that got Jay all hyped up and he had
- 38:09Speaker 1: it out. Jimmy was going to follow his brother, but
- 38:11Speaker 1: Roman stopped him and called him back and said that
- 38:15Speaker 1: I need you, and besides, Jay needs to do this
- 38:18Speaker 1: on his own. Like the way he was talking about it,
- 38:20Speaker 1: I thought maybe they were doing, you know, Jay Ussa's
- 38:22Speaker 1: match tonight, but they did. I don't know where Jay
- 38:25Speaker 1: was going. I thought he was going off to prepare
- 38:28Speaker 1: for his fucking King of the Ring match. I don't know.
- 38:33Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe he was just all excited and
- 38:35Speaker 1: he went and wanted to go tell people. I don't
- 38:38Speaker 1: know where he went. I don't think we saw him again.
- 38:40Speaker 1: After this, we had Raymisterio and Dragon Lee against Ethan
- 38:46Speaker 1: Page and Russev. Crowd was super into Raymys stereo here
- 38:52Speaker 1: to the point where the hard camera was shaking, especially
- 38:55Speaker 1: when he was trying to make the hot tag. Dragon
- 38:58Speaker 1: Lee tagged in. Ray refereated and see it at first.
- 39:01Speaker 1: Lee eventually fought free, then he made the hot tag
- 39:04Speaker 1: and everybody went crazy. A little while longer, Page had
- 39:09Speaker 1: gotten Ray in a Boston Crab super kick by Dragon,
- 39:12Speaker 1: Lee broke that up, and in the end Ray connected
- 39:15Speaker 1: with a six to one to nine and a splash
- 39:17Speaker 1: to Ethan Page to pick up the win. It was
- 39:22Speaker 1: a fun match, pretty basic stuff. I think they really
- 39:25Speaker 1: just wanted a reason to get Raymisterio out there, and
- 39:27Speaker 1: he's very over in Italy, he's very popular. Tonight was
- 39:31Speaker 1: one of those nights where you look at Ray and
- 39:34Speaker 1: it's just it's pretty incredible when you think about how
- 39:37Speaker 1: early in his life he started wrestling. I mean, what
- 39:41Speaker 1: was he like, he was thirty, he might have been younger.
- 39:44Speaker 1: I think he was maybe thirteen, and I think he
- 39:49Speaker 1: made his debut I want to say, in nineteen eighty nine,
- 39:54Speaker 1: working the style that he does and flying around the
- 39:56Speaker 1: way that he does, and to still see him out
- 39:59Speaker 1: there doing it, you know, when he's doing some of
- 40:01Speaker 1: these moves in these matches as as smooth and fluid
- 40:06Speaker 1: as he does, is pretty incredible. You know. I know
- 40:09Speaker 1: he's been banged up a little bit more recently, but
- 40:12Speaker 1: by and large, when you compare it to like even
- 40:15Speaker 1: I don't know, fifteen years ago. I feel like we
- 40:17Speaker 1: were hearing stories all the time about like knee injuries,
- 40:20Speaker 1: and I just remember talking about you know, about it
- 40:23Speaker 1: back then, and we're talking on the sound off in
- 40:24Speaker 1: like twenty ten, you know, twenty twelve, where it's like, man,
- 40:28Speaker 1: this guy's gonna have to retire soon. You know, the
- 40:31Speaker 1: sand in the hour glass is ticking down for this guy.
- 40:34Speaker 1: This guy he's got glass knees. And now it's twenty
- 40:38Speaker 1: twenty six. Literally we're talking fifteen years later, and he's
- 40:41Speaker 1: fucking flying around the ring doing all the stuff that
- 40:43Speaker 1: he was doing back then, but doing it better and
- 40:47Speaker 1: still staying healthier than he was even then. So God
- 40:50Speaker 1: bless him. I mean, look, the guy's turn back the
- 40:51Speaker 1: hands of time. And not only that, he is now
- 40:54Speaker 1: the general manager of Tripai and he will be getting
- 40:57Speaker 1: a shot very soon at the Intercontinental title. Because in
- 41:02Speaker 1: the very next segment backstage, Adam Pierce was talking to Penta.
- 41:07Speaker 1: They had spoken about this previously, if you remember, Ray
- 41:09Speaker 1: and Penta had a segment about a week or two
- 41:11Speaker 1: ago where they kind of agreed, like we need to
- 41:14Speaker 1: fight for the title. I'll go talk to Adam Pierce.
- 41:17Speaker 1: So Adam Pierce was talking to Penta, and he said
- 41:19Speaker 1: that he will indeed be getting his match defending his
- 41:22Speaker 1: championship against Ray Mysterio. He just didn't say when, So
- 41:26Speaker 1: we don't have a date. Penta walked off and La
- 41:30Speaker 1: Knight walked in, and La Knight was very upset about
- 41:37Speaker 1: all of the Bloodline love. Earlier in the show, he
- 41:40Speaker 1: was very upset about Adam Pierce and his mind cozying
- 41:43Speaker 1: up to Roman and his family. I find it funny,
- 41:49Speaker 1: just the idea, like poor La Knight has feuded repeatedly
- 41:55Speaker 1: with all of these groups, like all these Bloodline related factions, right,
- 41:59Speaker 1: he had his issues with them when he was on Smackdom,
- 42:01Speaker 1: right to the point where I was like, get this
- 42:03Speaker 1: fucking guy off SmackDown and get him away from the MFTs. Right.
- 42:07Speaker 1: So now he's on Monday Night Raw and the fucking
- 42:10Speaker 1: Bloodline his reformed. This guy can't catch a break. Everywhere
- 42:15Speaker 1: he turns it is Bloodline. It doesn't matter what at
- 42:20Speaker 1: this point. The only solution, there's two potential solutions here.
- 42:24Speaker 1: Number one, send La Night back to NXT, which I'm
- 42:28Speaker 1: honestly thinking wouldn't be the worst idea at this point.
- 42:31Speaker 1: Or and this would be kind of funny send La
- 42:33Speaker 1: Night to Triple A and at least then he could
- 42:36Speaker 1: get away from the blood line. He can get away
- 42:38Speaker 1: from all the Samoans and he won't have to worry
- 42:41Speaker 1: about it anymore. You can't tell me that he would
- 42:45Speaker 1: be any worse off than he is right now. On
- 42:47Speaker 1: this show, they are to highlights package speaking of Triple
- 42:53Speaker 1: A for the Mask Versus Mask match at the Triple
- 42:58Speaker 1: A Show on Saturday Night Night, and they plugged the
- 43:02Speaker 1: fact that after and they plugged this multiple times here
- 43:05Speaker 1: during Raw that immediately following Raw, they were going to
- 43:08Speaker 1: be replaying not the entire show, but just the Mask
- 43:12Speaker 1: versus Mask match on Netflix. So that's another way now
- 43:17Speaker 1: that you can watch the match. Obviously, the entire show
- 43:20Speaker 1: is archived on WWE's YouTube channel, so that was kind
- 43:24Speaker 1: of a big thing that they kept pushing throughout and
- 43:26Speaker 1: good rightfully. So, then they showed Chad Gable's comments after
- 43:31Speaker 1: the mask match in the ring when he unmasked. I'm
- 43:34Speaker 1: not sure why they would show that if they were
- 43:36Speaker 1: encouraging people to watch the match, why you would give
- 43:40Speaker 1: that away. I don't know why you would show that
- 43:43Speaker 1: particular part, but they did. But look it was fantastic stuff,
- 43:48Speaker 1: and I'm going to have my full thoughts. I can't
- 43:50Speaker 1: wait for tomorrow because I'm going to talk about it
- 43:53Speaker 1: right at the top of the show and the Uncrowned
- 43:54Speaker 1: Wrestling Show tomorrow. I will give my full thoughts on
- 43:57Speaker 1: that main event and just everything about it which I
- 44:00Speaker 1: thought was was fantastic. Then it was a Queen of
- 44:05Speaker 1: the Ringah, he's sticking his tongue. No, death sythe is back,
- 44:08Speaker 1: Like what the fuck? Yeah, he's sticking his toe that ah,
- 44:13Speaker 1: Like what the fuck? Hey, death Sipe, I see you, brother,
- 44:18Speaker 1: Thank you for love. Queen of the Ring. Opening Round
- 44:22Speaker 1: fatal four way Eosky, Roxane Perez, Julia and Lash Legend.
- 44:30Speaker 1: So Julia got her Italy match after all. I thought
- 44:34Speaker 1: maybe she would get it on SmackDown. She got it
- 44:36Speaker 1: tonight instead. Maybe she'll get one on SmackDown two. Probably not.
- 44:40Speaker 1: She even got a televised entrance. That might have been
- 44:42Speaker 1: the bigger shock here is as she actually got not
- 44:45Speaker 1: the jabber entrance like Carmelo Hayes got, and she got
- 44:48Speaker 1: a decent reaction. You know, she got a solid reaction
- 44:51Speaker 1: from the fans in Italy. I do wonder how many
- 44:54Speaker 1: of them know of her history there. They mentioned it
- 44:59Speaker 1: on commentary, mentioned it before. You know her parents even Aroun,
- 45:03Speaker 1: an Italian restaurant that she used to work out there.
- 45:07Speaker 1: I don't know how many people in the building would
- 45:08Speaker 1: have known that. I know some of them, you know,
- 45:10Speaker 1: many of them probably did, but not all of them,
- 45:12Speaker 1: because when they announced her, they announced her from Tokyo, Japan.
- 45:15Speaker 1: There's no mention of her having any ties to Italy.
- 45:17Speaker 1: But she got a decent pop. So during the match,
- 45:20Speaker 1: there was one point where Roxanne and Julia they briefly
- 45:23Speaker 1: formed an alliance that didn't last very long though Perez
- 45:27Speaker 1: and Julia. They ended up in the corner as EO
- 45:30Speaker 1: came charging in with the bullet train knees, Julia came
- 45:33Speaker 1: back with an arivederci kni to lash and Roxanne broke
- 45:37Speaker 1: up the pin attempt that followed. Anobi says the issue
- 45:45Speaker 1: with that rebroadcast with Gable and Kaiser Kaiser, who's that?
- 45:51Speaker 1: What does he have to do with this? He said?
- 45:54Speaker 1: The issue with the rebroadcast is that they had the
- 45:57Speaker 1: time to edit the blood and added Ray Corey and
- 46:02Speaker 1: Bradshaw's dub, but didn't fix the audio delay on Netwait
- 46:05Speaker 1: did they wait a minute edit the blood? What did
- 46:09Speaker 1: they black and white the screen? That's that's that's stupid.
- 46:17Speaker 1: It's fucking Netflix. Are you fucking kidding me? Tell me
- 46:23Speaker 1: they didn't black and white the screen. That's so fucking lame.
- 46:29Speaker 1: I hope they didn't do that. Why rebroadcast the match
- 46:35Speaker 1: at all? Then? If you're just gonna fucking butcher it,
- 46:37Speaker 1: they showed everything. Okay, so I don't know Hogdog is saying,
- 46:39Speaker 1: they showed everything. They black and white Gable's blood. Yeah,
- 46:45Speaker 1: well that's fucking lame. Whatever, Just watch the stream on
- 46:51Speaker 1: YouTube for again, Netflix, just watch watch the entire show,
- 46:54Speaker 1: but watch the main event on on the YouTube channel.
- 46:56Speaker 1: It'll be much better that way. Anyway, here in this match,
- 47:01Speaker 1: Julia came back with an arrivedre Chini. As I mentioned,
- 47:03Speaker 1: the pin attempt got broken up. Perez then got Julia
- 47:06Speaker 1: and EO with a double DDT and her pop rocks
- 47:11Speaker 1: attempt got stopped by Eo, who headed up top for
- 47:13Speaker 1: her over the moon Salt. Julia though, cut her off
- 47:17Speaker 1: and she got a double underhook and before she could
- 47:22Speaker 1: do whatever she was about to do, Roxanne recovered. She
- 47:26Speaker 1: joined in Lash came over took down Julia and Roxann
- 47:30Speaker 1: with a double power bomb, and then she hit her
- 47:33Speaker 1: lash extension to Roxane. She hit a lash extension to Julia.
- 47:37Speaker 1: She had the pin. Eo though was still on top.
- 47:40Speaker 1: So Eo sees this, she comes diving off with a
- 47:43Speaker 1: double stomp to break up the pin, and then she
- 47:46Speaker 1: went back up to the top. And who is her
- 47:49Speaker 1: victim laying on the mat about to take the over
- 47:52Speaker 1: the moon salt? It is Julia, And so Julia takes
- 47:57Speaker 1: the moon Salt and she gets pinned, and so Eosky
- 48:02Speaker 1: is moving on to the next round. Now, of course
- 48:04Speaker 1: it could not be all smiles for Julia. That's asking
- 48:07Speaker 1: too much. Come on, now, she got her match, she
- 48:10Speaker 1: got her entrance. She should be happy with that. But
- 48:15Speaker 1: of course she was going to lose this match. And look,
- 48:18Speaker 1: she had to take the pin here. She didn't have
- 48:20Speaker 1: to take the pin here. But you really shouldn't be
- 48:23Speaker 1: surprised that she took the pin here. First of all,
- 48:26Speaker 1: Eo Sky winning is the right call. I'm very happy.
- 48:28Speaker 1: It really was either gonna be Eo or Roxane. Okay,
- 48:31Speaker 1: I would have been happy with either one of them.
- 48:33Speaker 1: And Roxanne, you have kind of a storyline reason why
- 48:36Speaker 1: it would have made sense for her to win. But
- 48:39Speaker 1: I like the fact that EO went over. Realistically, if
- 48:43Speaker 1: you're WWE okay and you're looking at this, EO's winning.
- 48:49Speaker 1: So that leaves you with three people Julia, Roxanne and Lash.
- 48:52Speaker 1: They were not pinning Lash legend, okay, that was never
- 48:55Speaker 1: gonna happen, So take her out of the equation. That
- 49:00Speaker 1: leaves Roxanne and Julia. Who's the one that at least
- 49:02Speaker 1: has some sort of storyline going or as part of
- 49:05Speaker 1: a faction Roxanne Julia has nothing. Of course, Julie is
- 49:09Speaker 1: going to lose. Of course, Julia is gonna lose. Come on,
- 49:14Speaker 1: just just by WWE logic, she was always going to
- 49:17Speaker 1: take the losing fall if she wasn't winning the match.
- 49:20Speaker 1: So I don't know why people are so upset about this,
- 49:24Speaker 1: But like I said, it was either going to be
- 49:25Speaker 1: EO or Roxanne. I mean, look, they could have crowned
- 49:28Speaker 1: Roxanne if they wanted to, and they could. They could
- 49:30Speaker 1: have built to because at the beginning of the year
- 49:33Speaker 1: I had Roxanne as my pick to win money in
- 49:36Speaker 1: the bank, and then you know, they went and announced
- 49:40Speaker 1: that money in the bank was September sixth, which is
- 49:44Speaker 1: the latest that it's ever been, And so I looked
- 49:47Speaker 1: at it and said, well, you know, I don't know
- 49:49Speaker 1: if they're going to wait that long to pull the
- 49:51Speaker 1: trigger on whatever. The big you know turn is going
- 49:53Speaker 1: to be within the judgment day, but still possible if
- 49:56Speaker 1: she could win the briefcase. But you know what you
- 49:58Speaker 1: could do, You could have her win of the ring, right,
- 50:01Speaker 1: and then she opts to go after Live Morgan's World
- 50:04Speaker 1: Heavyweight Championship. Now that's two heels, but in the in
- 50:08Speaker 1: the process of doing that, you could begin to build
- 50:12Speaker 1: a split within the judgment day. Maybe at the end
- 50:14Speaker 1: of all of it, Roxanne goes babyface. I mean, there
- 50:17Speaker 1: were ways to try to make something like that work.
- 50:21Speaker 1: I'm not saying that's what I would have done, but
- 50:23Speaker 1: you could have done that, you know in Roxanne. I
- 50:25Speaker 1: think Roxanne would would end up with a lot of
- 50:27Speaker 1: fans support out of it. So you're not gonna get
- 50:31Speaker 1: me to hate on EO winning here though, She's gonna
- 50:34Speaker 1: get either Bailey, Raquel Rodriguez, j C Jane or Keana
- 50:40Speaker 1: James in the next round. Eo and Raquel they have
- 50:44Speaker 1: history from earlier this year before WrestleMania. Yeah, I mean,
- 50:49Speaker 1: I don't necessarily look at that as a terribly exciting
- 50:52Speaker 1: semi final match as compared to what we could get,
- 50:55Speaker 1: let's say, with EO and j C. EO and Keana.
- 50:58Speaker 1: I know Raquel's a big name than they are on
- 51:01Speaker 1: the main roster right now, but I'd love to see
- 51:03Speaker 1: one of those two at least make it into the
- 51:05Speaker 1: next round before they lose. So at this point, the
- 51:12Speaker 1: show really slowed down and we got a lot, like
- 51:16Speaker 1: a whole string of just non wrestling segments here for
- 51:21Speaker 1: I don't know, it felt like half an hour. Maybe
- 51:24Speaker 1: it wasn't, but it felt like it. We went backstage,
- 51:27Speaker 1: Maxine Dupre and Alpha Academy were with Adam Pearson. Maxine
- 51:32Speaker 1: was very upset that she was left out of the
- 51:34Speaker 1: Queen of the Ring, and Pierce told her, look, it's
- 51:37Speaker 1: a stacked bracket this year. It's so stacked that they
- 51:41Speaker 1: had to put the women's World champion in there. I
- 51:46Speaker 1: guess she demanded it, right, That's how they're trying to
- 51:49Speaker 1: explain it Live Morgan. She demanded to be in the
- 51:51Speaker 1: Queen of the Ring, but it was a stacked bracket
- 51:54Speaker 1: and still, look, we just didn't have room. I know
- 51:56Speaker 1: you were a former Intercontinental champion, and I'll tell you
- 51:59Speaker 1: what he said, if there's an opening, you'll be the
- 52:02Speaker 1: first person that I come to. So after he left,
- 52:06Speaker 1: Otis pointed out that Maxime was talking a lot lately
- 52:10Speaker 1: with Austin Theory, and he reminded her again that he thought,
- 52:14Speaker 1: you know, Theory's bad news, and she basically asked them
- 52:16Speaker 1: to trust her, let her handle things, and she walked off.
- 52:21Speaker 1: Then we got a video about Dan Housen's recent history
- 52:25Speaker 1: with the New York Knicks and Stephen A Smith who's
- 52:30Speaker 1: a big Knicks fan, and they took us through the
- 52:33Speaker 1: history of him cursing and then uncursing the name. I
- 52:36Speaker 1: think he cursed be the booker last nights what he
- 52:38Speaker 1: Maybe that's why we had the night that we had. Yeah,
- 52:42Speaker 1: but him cursing and uncursing the Knicks, And then of
- 52:44Speaker 1: course the Knicks went on this eleven to zero run
- 52:47Speaker 1: and now they're in the NBA Finals, Game one coming
- 52:51Speaker 1: of this Wednesday. Poor Dynamite, Poor dynamite stream, poor me.
- 53:01Speaker 1: You know you can watch the next game but also
- 53:03Speaker 1: have the stream on at the same time. I'm just saying,
- 53:07Speaker 1: don't forget about me. Then backstage, Kathy Kelly was interviewing
- 53:13Speaker 1: Bailey and Lyra Valkyria, and Lyra interrupted the interview when
- 53:17Speaker 1: she spotted Soul Ruka off camera, and the camera followed
- 53:22Speaker 1: and she rushed over to go talk to the new
- 53:24Speaker 1: Intercontinental champion, and she said that she was so happy
- 53:27Speaker 1: to see Soul take the title from Becky because she
- 53:29Speaker 1: was no longer able to challenge for that championship. At
- 53:34Speaker 1: one point when Becky was the champion, she couldn't challenge
- 53:37Speaker 1: for it, and so she was very happy that Becky
- 53:40Speaker 1: didn't have the belt anymore. And since that didn't apply anymore,
- 53:44Speaker 1: and since Soul went out there and talked about how
- 53:48Speaker 1: she wants to be a fighting champion, she would love
- 53:52Speaker 1: to throw her name in the hat, and Ruka was
- 53:56Speaker 1: more than happy to give her a shot. And then
- 53:59Speaker 1: Bailey walked over, and while Lyra was all excited Bailey,
- 54:02Speaker 1: she did not share in that enthusiasm. She did not
- 54:04Speaker 1: look very happy about this. Oh oh oh, maybe she'll
- 54:09Speaker 1: start hearing the voices again. Whatever happened to that storyline that,
- 54:14Speaker 1: like many other storylines that Paul Levac has come up
- 54:18Speaker 1: with over the past, Oh I don't know. Year year
- 54:20Speaker 1: and a half, just inexplicably dropped. We never did find
- 54:24Speaker 1: out who attacked jay Uso, did we? I bet you
- 54:28Speaker 1: don't even remember that. We never found out who attacked
- 54:32Speaker 1: Jacob Fatu. We had Fato assuming that it was drumacintyre,
- 54:35Speaker 1: but we never did get a resolution to that fucking story.
- 54:39Speaker 1: You could add this one to the pile. Whatever happened
- 54:40Speaker 1: to the voices that Bailey was hearing. Maybe she went
- 54:42Speaker 1: to a therapist, maybe she used better help. Maybe she's
- 54:46Speaker 1: all better now. I guess we have to use our
- 54:49Speaker 1: imagination try to figure it out ourselves. Elsewhere in the back,
- 54:54Speaker 1: the talking continued. We went to the Judgment Day clubhouse
- 54:59Speaker 1: and Rocks Perez was venting to Raquel and Dom and
- 55:03Speaker 1: JD McDonough but losing her Queen of the Ring match
- 55:08Speaker 1: earlier live. Morgan entered and she was all excited, and
- 55:11Speaker 1: Raquel was kind of like she was kind of nudging her,
- 55:13Speaker 1: like he you know, Roxanne's in a bad mood. And
- 55:17Speaker 1: Morgan told Roxy, look, we're family and that's all that matters. Okay,
- 55:23Speaker 1: That's what matters most is that we're all a family here.
- 55:27Speaker 1: And Roxanne said, yeah, Well, I could have used that family,
- 55:31Speaker 1: but okay, what's the plan? And Live said, well, the
- 55:34Speaker 1: Judgment Day is going to win both tournaments, and she
- 55:36Speaker 1: said that she and Dom are going to become the
- 55:38Speaker 1: King and Queen. But she noticed Raquel was not thrilled
- 55:42Speaker 1: about being overlooked because she also is in the Queen
- 55:45Speaker 1: of the Ring. So Live corrected herself and said, or you,
- 55:50Speaker 1: me or you, And then she looked over at JD
- 55:55Speaker 1: McDonough and said or you. And I'm like, did I
- 56:01Speaker 1: miss something here? He's not even in the tournament. I
- 56:06Speaker 1: don't know the implication was that maybe he could win,
- 56:08Speaker 1: unless I completely misread this segment here, but I thought
- 56:12Speaker 1: she was implying that, well, maybe you could win too.
- 56:14Speaker 1: I'm like, win, what win? What? Is there another updated
- 56:19Speaker 1: bracket that they posted that they pulled that I'm not
- 56:21Speaker 1: aware of. He's not in the fucking tournament. I'm fairly
- 56:25Speaker 1: certain that he's not going to be winning anything. The
- 56:30Speaker 1: main event of the show seth Rollins one on one
- 56:34Speaker 1: with bron Breaker. We got a pair of suicide dives
- 56:38Speaker 1: early by Rollins on the third one third attempt, Breaker
- 56:41Speaker 1: caught him sent him flying over the barricade. Later on
- 56:46Speaker 1: we had bron hitting the Brakensteiner. Is he still calling it? That?
- 56:56Speaker 1: Is he still calling at that? RDH says, I thought
- 56:59Speaker 1: she was looking at dumb No, but that doesn't make
- 57:02Speaker 1: any sense. She already said she thinks Dom's gonna win.
- 57:06Speaker 1: That's what I mean. Nothing else made sense there other
- 57:09Speaker 1: than her looking at mcdonnald and saying, or you like,
- 57:13Speaker 1: now you're not winning anything. The Judgment Day are a
- 57:19Speaker 1: bunch of simps for Live. She's the leader, She's the
- 57:28Speaker 1: leader of the faction. I mean, the Judgment Day has
- 57:34Speaker 1: and look, there were times where Rhea Ripley was clearly
- 57:39Speaker 1: the leader of the Judgment Day, even if they didn't
- 57:41Speaker 1: call her that. So the Judgment Day has been a
- 57:44Speaker 1: very progressive faction in that regard, right, They've had various
- 57:49Speaker 1: male members of the group, and Finn Balor I guess
- 57:51Speaker 1: people looked at him at one point as being the leader,
- 57:53Speaker 1: but realistically, really being honest, here it was Rhea Ripley
- 57:58Speaker 1: and now it's Live Morgan and the men just sort
- 58:02Speaker 1: of follow and they do, you know, they do what
- 58:04Speaker 1: they're told because they don't want to incur her wrath.
- 58:10Speaker 1: But anyways, so yeah, he hit his Brakensteiner off the
- 58:13Speaker 1: top rope took Rollins all the way down to the canvas.
- 58:16Speaker 1: There was a tremendous spot that they pulled off here
- 58:20Speaker 1: outside the ring, where Rollins was standing on top I
- 58:24Speaker 1: believe of the Italian announced desk bron Breaker. He was
- 58:27Speaker 1: standing on top of the English one. He came charging
- 58:29Speaker 1: in off the one announced desk to the other for
- 58:32Speaker 1: a spear, but in doing so Rollins jumped up and
- 58:36Speaker 1: caught him with a pedigree on the way down through
- 58:39Speaker 1: the table. So I thought that came off great. He
- 58:42Speaker 1: got breaker back inside, he had a proper pedigree and
- 58:46Speaker 1: still bron kicked out. As I'm sure Triple H was
- 58:50Speaker 1: sitting on headset in the back smiling as he saw this, saying,
- 58:56Speaker 1: if that pedigree came for me, he wouldn't be kicking out. See.
- 59:02Speaker 1: I look at it like some people might look at
- 59:04Speaker 1: this and go, man, this is got a burn Triple
- 59:07Speaker 1: H on the inside that his move is just a
- 59:09Speaker 1: fucking setup move. Now, if it were me, I would
- 59:12Speaker 1: look at it a little bit differently. I would go,
- 59:13Speaker 1: you know what, it's kind of like Seawn Michael's using
- 59:16Speaker 1: the superkick as a finish and now everybody uses superkicks
- 59:20Speaker 1: multiple times in every match and they don't mean anything.
- 59:23Speaker 1: And like, if I'm him, I'm looking at that going
- 59:25Speaker 1: you know what, it makes me feel good about it
- 59:28Speaker 1: because mine was so good that I used to win
- 59:31Speaker 1: matches and titles with it and nobody does anymore. Like
- 59:34Speaker 1: if I'm Triple H, I'm like, yeah, my pedigree is
- 59:36Speaker 1: the best pedigree because I'm the one who actually won
- 59:38Speaker 1: fourteen world titles with it. You can't win shit, you literally,
- 59:43Speaker 1: this guy did a pedigree through the announced desk and
- 59:46Speaker 1: then followed it with another pedigree and still couldn't win
- 59:49Speaker 1: the match. It's pretty sad. I'm just saying. Austin Theory
- 59:56Speaker 1: ran out speaking of sad, Rollins though knocked him down
- 59:59Speaker 1: off now he set up for a stomp to bron breaker. Theory,
- 1:00:03Speaker 1: though whacked him with one of the tag team title belts,
- 1:00:06Speaker 1: which the referee did not see because the referee had
- 1:00:10Speaker 1: the Hey Frankie, welcome to the channel. The referee was
- 1:00:15Speaker 1: being distracted by Paul Hayman at the time, so that
- 1:00:19Speaker 1: brought out Montese Ford, who got into the ring and
- 1:00:23Speaker 1: he did his running flip dive out over the ring post,
- 1:00:26Speaker 1: which is like a weekly occurrence now, and he took
- 1:00:28Speaker 1: out Theory with it, only then to turn around into
- 1:00:31Speaker 1: a spear from bron Breaker. So down goes Montese. Ford.
- 1:00:35Speaker 1: Breaker gets back in the ring and he spears Rollins
- 1:00:38Speaker 1: and gets a close near fall out of it. Rollins
- 1:00:42Speaker 1: came back though with a stomp to Breaker had the
- 1:00:44Speaker 1: match one when Hayman tried to place bron Breaker's foot
- 1:00:49Speaker 1: on the bottom rope. And we are coming off of
- 1:00:53Speaker 1: a show I'm gonna get in my soapbox here, okay
- 1:00:56Speaker 1: for about thirty seconds if you don't mind. We just
- 1:01:00Speaker 1: got done watching a pl yesterday, okay, twenty four hours ago,
- 1:01:06Speaker 1: in which we had at least to my memory, three
- 1:01:11Speaker 1: different rope spots just in the opening I think two
- 1:01:14Speaker 1: matches of the show. Right, We had the spot with
- 1:01:18Speaker 1: Gunther and Cody in his foot under the rope in
- 1:01:20Speaker 1: the opening match, and then we had a spot just
- 1:01:23Speaker 1: like this twice in the women's title match between Jade
- 1:01:26Speaker 1: Cargill and Rhea Ripley. And now we're doing another rope
- 1:01:31Speaker 1: spot here. Why do we do this? Why when they
- 1:01:34Speaker 1: have like they do some sort of spot and then
- 1:01:38Speaker 1: they sit that, well, we got to do it again.
- 1:01:39Speaker 1: And we got to do it again, and we'll do
- 1:01:40Speaker 1: it in multiple matches. We'll do it in back to
- 1:01:42Speaker 1: back matches. We'll do it back back nights. Can we
- 1:01:44Speaker 1: put a moratorium now on rope spots? Why do we
- 1:01:49Speaker 1: have to cluster them all up together like this? We
- 1:01:52Speaker 1: had this three fucking times on the show yesterday. Now
- 1:01:55Speaker 1: we have another one here. Now it's bad enough that
- 1:01:57Speaker 1: befab Unfortunately for her, she fucked up the spot during
- 1:02:00Speaker 1: the Riha and Jade match yesterday, and so you look,
- 1:02:05Speaker 1: if you're gonna call her out for it, you gotta
- 1:02:06Speaker 1: call Paul Hayman out for this one wasn't as egregious. Still,
- 1:02:10Speaker 1: he got the foot on the rope technically touching the rope,
- 1:02:12Speaker 1: but it was touching underneath the rope. But he clearly
- 1:02:15Speaker 1: intended to put the foot on the rope. And I'm like,
- 1:02:17Speaker 1: I can't believe we're doing this. We're doing this fucking
- 1:02:19Speaker 1: foot on the rope? Shit? Again? Did we not just
- 1:02:21Speaker 1: sit through this yesterday? And again he couldn't even get
- 1:02:26Speaker 1: it on the fucking rope. Thankfully, bron was close enough
- 1:02:28Speaker 1: where he kind of he just put his foot up
- 1:02:30Speaker 1: and got it underneath the rope at least, but can
- 1:02:32Speaker 1: we not keep doing this? Please? That beefat Boe yesterday
- 1:02:39Speaker 1: was pretty bad, though, I gotta say that was pretty bad.
- 1:02:43Speaker 1: So Rollin's rolled outside and he's staring a hole through Hayman.
- 1:02:47Speaker 1: He begins stalking Paul Hayman, and Hayman's yelling back at him,
- 1:02:53Speaker 1: and all the while they're sort of inching towards the
- 1:02:56Speaker 1: timekeeper's barricade, and here comes Bron Breaker for the spear,
- 1:03:03Speaker 1: right he comes charging in. Rollins, though, moves out of
- 1:03:05Speaker 1: the way, and Hayman took the spear instead, and they
- 1:03:09Speaker 1: go crashing through the barricade. Meanwhile, Rollins he grabs Breaker's
- 1:03:15Speaker 1: tag team title belt unbeknownst to him, So when Breaker
- 1:03:18Speaker 1: gets back into the ring, he went to go spear Rollins.
- 1:03:21Speaker 1: He didn't know that Rollins was holding the title around
- 1:03:24Speaker 1: his waist. He was holding it right in perfect position.
- 1:03:27Speaker 1: So when Bron came charging and he hit the spear
- 1:03:30Speaker 1: and he knocked himself out, he knocked himself silly, and
- 1:03:36Speaker 1: Rollins quickly got rid of the evidence and disposed of
- 1:03:40Speaker 1: the tag team. He should dispose of those belts in
- 1:03:42Speaker 1: the fucking trash can where they belong, but he dumped
- 1:03:46Speaker 1: the belt outside the ring, so they did the Brett
- 1:03:48Speaker 1: Hart Goldberg spot from WCW. They didn't Breton Goldberg did
- 1:03:52Speaker 1: it better, of course, but yes, they did an offshoot
- 1:03:57Speaker 1: of it here. And then Rollins got up and he
- 1:03:59Speaker 1: stuck them and he pinned him to win the match
- 1:04:03Speaker 1: twenty two minutes into this bout, as Rollins flashed forward
- 1:04:08Speaker 1: outside a nod of respect for the assist. It's turned
- 1:04:12Speaker 1: into a hell of a match here. I will say
- 1:04:16Speaker 1: better than I was expecting it to be. This was
- 1:04:18Speaker 1: better than the Clash in Italy main event. I'm not
- 1:04:20Speaker 1: even exaggerating when I say that I think this was
- 1:04:22Speaker 1: a better match than the one that we got with
- 1:04:25Speaker 1: Roman and Jacob and Clash in Italy. It definitely had
- 1:04:27Speaker 1: a more exciting final stretch than Tribal Combat had. I
- 1:04:32Speaker 1: don't even think this is much of a hot take.
- 1:04:34Speaker 1: I just think this was the better match. I think
- 1:04:37Speaker 1: Tribal Combat went twenty seven minutes, this one twenty two. Frankly,
- 1:04:41Speaker 1: twenty seven minutes was too long for Tribal Combat. I'll
- 1:04:45Speaker 1: take this match over that one. But that is now
- 1:04:47Speaker 1: one win for Rollins and one win for Breakers, So
- 1:04:52Speaker 1: they could still very well meet, and I still think
- 1:04:55Speaker 1: that this is the likeliest scenario, is that these two
- 1:04:58Speaker 1: were going to meet in the finals of the CA
- 1:05:00Speaker 1: of the Ring. If they do, though, I mean, I
- 1:05:02Speaker 1: think it's gonna be tough for them to top what
- 1:05:04Speaker 1: they did here in this match, because this was very good.
- 1:05:08Speaker 1: But also what they did here should be writing Paul
- 1:05:10Speaker 1: Hayman off for a while. I don't know for how long.
- 1:05:14Speaker 1: And the guy got speared through the fucking barricade, you know,
- 1:05:17Speaker 1: he was just like, he looked like a fucking dead
- 1:05:18Speaker 1: whale laying there on the floor. So he's got to
- 1:05:21Speaker 1: be gone for a little bit. I'm gonna bang my
- 1:05:24Speaker 1: head against the wall if he eventually comes back, begging, begging,
- 1:05:30Speaker 1: Roman Reigns to let him back into the Bloodline. And
- 1:05:33Speaker 1: this was all just to get Hayman back for the
- 1:05:35Speaker 1: Roman and back for Bloodline two point zero. Oh my god,
- 1:05:40Speaker 1: can you imagine begging Roman to take him back just
- 1:05:45Speaker 1: so they could run it back for old times sake.
- 1:05:49Speaker 1: You know, given the state of the vision right now,
- 1:05:52Speaker 1: I can understand it if Hayman wanted to flee and
- 1:05:55Speaker 1: go back to the Bloodline. Uh. Look, the crowd helped
- 1:05:59Speaker 1: this show out a lot. These Italian crowds have been great.
- 1:06:04Speaker 1: They'll be great again on Friday. I'm sure you got
- 1:06:06Speaker 1: one more show. I think they're in Bologna on Friday,
- 1:06:10Speaker 1: which will be another early show for those of you
- 1:06:13Speaker 1: that have VPNs, and so we'll have another probably eight
- 1:06:16Speaker 1: pm stream on Friday, just fyi. But we did get
- 1:06:19Speaker 1: some really good in ring stuff again. The main event
- 1:06:21Speaker 1: I thought was very good, and the men's King of
- 1:06:25Speaker 1: the Ring match was a lot of fun. So I
- 1:06:27Speaker 1: enjoyed those two things. The tag match that they had
- 1:06:31Speaker 1: with Ray and Dragon Lee, I mean that was fine.
- 1:06:34Speaker 1: Wasn't anything special, but I mean it was fine. Beyond that,
- 1:06:39Speaker 1: there really wasn't a whole lot else. Honestly, to this show.
- 1:06:43Speaker 1: It was more about setting things up for the future.
- 1:06:45Speaker 1: You know, you had fought two out there in the
- 1:06:47Speaker 1: opening segment acknowledging Roman reigns. It's like, okay, boring, but
- 1:06:54Speaker 1: it sets up whatever is coming later on much further
- 1:06:57Speaker 1: down the road. Let's put it that way. Soul Ruca
- 1:07:01Speaker 1: comes out. You know, she's the new champion. She wants
- 1:07:03Speaker 1: to be a fighting champion. Okay, great, and that sets
- 1:07:07Speaker 1: up I guess what her run is going to look
- 1:07:09Speaker 1: like going forward. Didn't make for a very exciting television segment,
- 1:07:13Speaker 1: but okay, and they needed Oba to come out and
- 1:07:18Speaker 1: just kill a bunch of guys after taking his first loss,
- 1:07:21Speaker 1: and he put Brocklesner on notice they will meet again.
- 1:07:25Speaker 1: I think we all kind of figured it, but that
- 1:07:27Speaker 1: basically confirms it. On the whole, it was a good show,
- 1:07:31Speaker 1: but it was helped out greatly by a hot Italian crowd.
- 1:07:35Speaker 1: That was the story of Monday Night Raw. Now I
- 1:07:36Speaker 1: will also point out to you as an FYI just
- 1:07:39Speaker 1: so you know, Raw next week is going to be
- 1:07:43Speaker 1: in Paris, France, and they are going to be at
- 1:07:46Speaker 1: the Accorp Arena. It will be another two pm Eastern
- 1:07:50Speaker 1: start time on Netflix. So that's next Monday. The following Monday,
- 1:07:55Speaker 1: which is June fifteenth, they're in Baltimore, which is you're
- 1:08:01Speaker 1: wondering what European country is that in it's not. They're
- 1:08:05Speaker 1: coming back to the United States. They have Ron Baltimore
- 1:08:09Speaker 1: on the fifteenth, I believe it is. And then the
- 1:08:13Speaker 1: following Monday, June twenty second, they're going to be the
- 1:08:16Speaker 1: two Arena in London, so they go they jet back
- 1:08:18Speaker 1: to Europe. I don't quite understand this detour. I laughed
- 1:08:22Speaker 1: at it when I saw the schedule all those weeks ago,
- 1:08:25Speaker 1: and I still had a nice little chuckle at it
- 1:08:29Speaker 1: when I saw it. So two pm Eastern next week,
- 1:08:33Speaker 1: then it's back to its normal time, and then I
- 1:08:35Speaker 1: guess it would be three weeks from now when they're
- 1:08:39Speaker 1: in London that's going to be a I want to
- 1:08:43Speaker 1: say three pm Eastern start time on Netflix. And then
- 1:08:48Speaker 1: once we get to the end of the month, they're
- 1:08:49Speaker 1: in Riad for a night of champions and I want
- 1:08:52Speaker 1: to say the tour is over. I could be wrong.
- 1:08:54Speaker 1: I want to say the tour is over, at least
- 1:08:57Speaker 1: in terms of these special start times for raw I
- 1:08:59Speaker 1: think that I think it's over at that point, but
- 1:09:02Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm not one hundred percent sure about that.
- 1:09:07Speaker 1: They had a visa issue, Yeah, they had a jet
- 1:09:10Speaker 1: back to the US real quick for one week, so
- 1:09:12Speaker 1: they went to Baltimore. But then their visa will be
- 1:09:16Speaker 1: okay and then they'll they'll jet right back out. I
- 1:09:22Speaker 1: just it's just one of those things where you look
- 1:09:24Speaker 1: at the schedule and you see you see Turin right,
- 1:09:27Speaker 1: and you see Paris, and you see London, and then
- 1:09:30Speaker 1: right in the fucking middle is Baltimore. I'm like, hmm,
- 1:09:35Speaker 1: it's a little odd. Let's take a look at your
- 1:09:42Speaker 1: super chats. It's the hell of a travel schedule, I'll
- 1:09:45Speaker 1: say that much. I don't envy them. I know it
- 1:09:50Speaker 1: used to be worse. I mean, my god, these these
- 1:09:53Speaker 1: European tours used to be even worse. But that's still
- 1:09:57Speaker 1: a hillacious travel schedule at a time when I honestly
- 1:10:01Speaker 1: and I don't travel nearly as much as they do
- 1:10:03Speaker 1: or fly. But I don't know, it just feels like
- 1:10:06Speaker 1: air travel to me has never been has never been
- 1:10:08Speaker 1: worse than it is now. And it's not like they're
- 1:10:16Speaker 1: all flying on the private jet. Sure that would make
- 1:10:21Speaker 1: things a little bit easier. Chat GPT put the schedule together,
- 1:10:31Speaker 1: all right, let's get to your messages here. Hey, Hey, Joseph,
- 1:10:34Speaker 1: I'm gonna try. I'm gonna try to do a speed
- 1:10:36Speaker 1: round because there's so many of them. I'm gonna try
- 1:10:38Speaker 1: to zip through your your super chats here. Brother, I
- 1:10:41Speaker 1: appreciate it, he says. A happy Monday, Solam Monster live Dom.
- 1:10:47Speaker 1: He says, for men's and women's King and Queen of
- 1:10:50Speaker 1: the Ring, I knew you were gonna say that he's
- 1:10:52Speaker 1: a big fan of Live Dom. Yeah, we don't need
- 1:10:55Speaker 1: live Dom for men's and women's King and Queen of
- 1:10:58Speaker 1: the Ring. That's a note from me. So, as I
- 1:11:03Speaker 1: just finished all six seasons of The Sopranos, it's the
- 1:11:06Speaker 1: greatest TV show of all time, I agree it is.
- 1:11:10Speaker 1: It's an experience. It's one of those shows where I
- 1:11:14Speaker 1: wish I could just sort of erase it from my
- 1:11:17Speaker 1: brain and watch it over again for the first time.
- 1:11:22Speaker 1: That and the ending to the first Saw movie. I
- 1:11:26Speaker 1: just wish I could blank out that part of my
- 1:11:29Speaker 1: brain and just watch it as if I was watching
- 1:11:31Speaker 1: it for the first time. What are your thoughts and
- 1:11:35Speaker 1: theories in the final moments of that final Sopranos episode,
- 1:11:39Speaker 1: Oh he dies? Sorry spoiler. I've learned to appreciate the
- 1:11:46Speaker 1: finale more as the years have gone on. I was
- 1:11:48Speaker 1: every bit as frustrated though, as most people were at
- 1:11:53Speaker 1: the end. The Sopranos video game on PS two is
- 1:12:01Speaker 1: not a good game? Well good, then I won't play it.
- 1:12:08Speaker 1: Morgan Freeman really is the eighty nine. God bless him.
- 1:12:11Speaker 1: He looks good for eighty nine. Do you think the
- 1:12:14Speaker 1: nineties was the era of mob movies. Yeah, I would
- 1:12:17Speaker 1: say so. Fucking Goodfellas in Casino in the same decade,
- 1:12:23Speaker 1: I would say, yes, yes, I did know that about
- 1:12:28Speaker 1: Uncle June. Did you see James Gunn's post showing the
- 1:12:30Speaker 1: first look of Nicholas Holt as Lex Luthor in the
- 1:12:35Speaker 1: Superman sequel? I did not, but I did see the
- 1:12:37Speaker 1: trailer drop today for the end of Oak Street, which
- 1:12:42Speaker 1: is my next now that The Back Rooms has been seen,
- 1:12:47Speaker 1: that is the next movie that is number one on
- 1:12:49Speaker 1: my list of movies I am most excited to see
- 1:12:52Speaker 1: this year. It's coming out in August. Looks great. And yes, Joseph,
- 1:13:01Speaker 1: I am aware that that is coming out on Friday.
- 1:13:03Speaker 1: I will not be seeing it this week, but hopefully
- 1:13:05Speaker 1: I'll have a chance to. He's also listening to the
- 1:13:11Speaker 1: Batman Forever soundtrack, one of his favorite soundtracks. I don't
- 1:13:14Speaker 1: even know what's on that soundtrack. Is Martin Scorsese one
- 1:13:16Speaker 1: of your favorite directors? Yes, by your sales, Scorsese or
- 1:13:20Speaker 1: Steven Spielberg. Ooh, that's a tough one. You know. This
- 1:13:23Speaker 1: Disclosure Day movie is coming out in a few weeks
- 1:13:26Speaker 1: June twelfth. I'm gonna see that as well, and some
- 1:13:29Speaker 1: of like the early reviews or that it's it's Spielberg's
- 1:13:32Speaker 1: best work in twenty years. So I'm excited to see it. Man,
- 1:13:40Speaker 1: if I had to choose between them, though, I mean,
- 1:13:42Speaker 1: you're talking Jaws, you're talking Et, You're talking He's talking
- 1:13:45Speaker 1: a lot of Classicsberg. Spielberg was back to the future,
- 1:13:51Speaker 1: wasn't he? Brent him? And Zemeckis I just I mean,
- 1:13:56Speaker 1: I probably would have to go Spielberg Jurassic Park. I
- 1:13:59Speaker 1: mean there's so many Oh okay, Kiss from a Rose
- 1:14:05Speaker 1: is on that soundtrack? All right, Seal. Have you seen
- 1:14:14Speaker 1: the new show Spider Noir with Nicholas Cage No favorite
- 1:14:20Speaker 1: Val Kilmer batman moment? I don't have one. He's not
- 1:14:23Speaker 1: my favorite Batman by your self, Jack Nicholson as the
- 1:14:27Speaker 1: Joker or Willem Dafoe is the Green Goblin. Jack Nicholson,
- 1:14:33Speaker 1: thank you, Joseph See I told you it was gonna
- 1:14:35Speaker 1: be a lightning round Death's side After last night's be
- 1:14:41Speaker 1: the booker, I'm surprised Eric Bischoff did not storm into
- 1:14:44Speaker 1: your room and say what the hell was that? Followed
- 1:14:46Speaker 1: by James Cromwell storming into your room, and saying, what
- 1:14:49Speaker 1: in the blue fuck was that? I mean, I certainly
- 1:14:52Speaker 1: wouldn't want either one of those individuals to be storming
- 1:14:56Speaker 1: into my home. Why I have locks on the doors
- 1:15:05Speaker 1: we got Walker Stubbs saw obsession this past weekend. Ten
- 1:15:09Speaker 1: out of ten would recommend give Indie ever Ready all
- 1:15:13Speaker 1: the oscars. She's very cool. He's still watching waiting, says
- 1:15:27Speaker 1: Clavy Man, who are we talking about? Misfit Wrestling podcast
- 1:15:35Speaker 1: with a couple of super chats, last night's Beat the
- 1:15:36Speaker 1: Booker was on par with the night Solo took on
- 1:15:39Speaker 1: Great Collie in Punjabi prison. I speaking of things that
- 1:15:47Speaker 1: I've tried to block out of my mind. After this week,
- 1:15:51Speaker 1: Julia needs to be traded to raw. I'm sorry to say,
- 1:15:56Speaker 1: like at this point, it doesn't matter. Julie is cooked.
- 1:16:00Speaker 1: Julia is Juliet in WWE is cooked. They're not gonna
- 1:16:06Speaker 1: do anything with her. It's over. It's over. Unfortunately, she
- 1:16:14Speaker 1: will never rise to the level that people were hoping
- 1:16:17Speaker 1: or expecting her, even from where she was in NXT.
- 1:16:22Speaker 1: It's not gonna happen. Prince vegeta ninety five. At what
- 1:16:26Speaker 1: point now do you see bron Breaker winning a world title.
- 1:16:28Speaker 1: Probably not anytime within the next twelve months, since Roman's
- 1:16:32Speaker 1: got it on Lock and Oba is clearly next in line. Yeah,
- 1:16:37Speaker 1: you're probably right. I don't see it happening anytime in
- 1:16:40Speaker 1: the near future. It will happen. I think there's a
- 1:16:44Speaker 1: better chance of him maybe ending up on SmackDown at
- 1:16:47Speaker 1: some point and taking it from Cody than taking it
- 1:16:49Speaker 1: from Roman. But even if that happens, that's not that's
- 1:16:53Speaker 1: a twenty twenty seven thing. I think of the earliest
- 1:16:59Speaker 1: also Misfit Wrestling podcast Finn Balor being on the same
- 1:17:02Speaker 1: brand as Tomatonga does intrigue me due to the Bullet
- 1:17:04Speaker 1: Club ties, I mean, and it's still not enough to
- 1:17:16Speaker 1: get me excited for anything they may do in terms
- 1:17:21Speaker 1: of like some sort of you know, bullet club tie
- 1:17:24Speaker 1: in or like we see Shinsky Nakamura sharing the screen
- 1:17:28Speaker 1: with Tomatanga and they sort of reference their their history
- 1:17:32Speaker 1: in Japan, and it's like, how many segments have they
- 1:17:36Speaker 1: been doing? Like I would I would love to go
- 1:17:39Speaker 1: back and try to remember what that first segment was, like,
- 1:17:43Speaker 1: when did that first segment air where Nakamura confronted Tomatanga
- 1:17:49Speaker 1: in the back, Like how many months ago? Was that,
- 1:17:53Speaker 1: and it's still it's led nowhere. So far, it's led
- 1:17:58Speaker 1: absolutely nowhere. It's not even that interesting of a story,
- 1:18:02Speaker 1: Like if it was like a big, big story, it's like, Okay,
- 1:18:05Speaker 1: you want to really drag it out for a while.
- 1:18:07Speaker 1: They're dragging something out that nobody gives a shit about.
- 1:18:12Speaker 1: Oh gangro Oh my goodness, I forgot that's right. This

- 1:19:24Speaker 1: That's wix dot com slash Harmony death Site. I was thinking,
- 1:19:30Speaker 1: what if we get Riya Alexa Charlotte in a triple
- 1:19:33Speaker 1: threat at SummerSlam. Oh, you cited Alexa's name in a
- 1:19:38Speaker 1: potential title match, Bliss Fan. This is the Bliss Fan
- 1:19:44Speaker 1: alarm alerting Bliss Van his antennas have gone up. You've
- 1:19:52Speaker 1: mentioned Alexa, Bliss and title match in the same sentence.
- 1:19:57Speaker 1: I surprise he's not already in the chat. Chiming in
- 1:20:02Speaker 1: death Site says it can be the women's version of
- 1:20:05Speaker 1: Undertaker defending against Jeri Show and Sena defending against Dx
- 1:20:10Speaker 1: at Survivor Series. I would prefer it be one on one.
- 1:20:22Speaker 1: That would be my preference. Alexander says. Jacob's new name
- 1:20:29Speaker 1: should be Jacob loa. Come on, now, the man is
- 1:20:37Speaker 1: already at his low point. Let's not shovel dirt on
- 1:20:40Speaker 1: top of him. Okay, Now, I just feel bad for
- 1:20:44Speaker 1: the guy. Death Site says if we are getting Cody
- 1:20:50Speaker 1: and Roman three, fuck knows why, And if it's for
- 1:20:53Speaker 1: a top title, they should have someone cashing money in
- 1:20:56Speaker 1: the bank before, during, or after the match. I mean,
- 1:21:00Speaker 1: they're sure teasing it, but I'm still not convinced we're
- 1:21:03Speaker 1: actually getting it because I don't think I think coming
- 1:21:07Speaker 1: up with a finish on who would go over. I
- 1:21:09Speaker 1: think there's a political football there that I don't know
- 1:21:14Speaker 1: that we're going to see. I know they're teasing it,
- 1:21:15Speaker 1: but I don't know that we're going to actually get it.
- 1:21:19Speaker 1: Barry Mka says, I feel bad for Bailey her own
- 1:21:23Speaker 1: partner walked away from her during a backstage interview. Excuse
- 1:21:27Speaker 1: me to talk to somebody else. Imagine if that happened
- 1:21:29Speaker 1: to you, for real, I would be pissed. Well, yes,
- 1:21:32Speaker 1: especially if I knew I was on live television. That
- 1:21:35Speaker 1: would piss me off. You know what I would do though,
- 1:21:37Speaker 1: I would take a tire iron to my partner's kneecap.
- 1:21:42Speaker 1: But that's just me the Uffman buy or sell, Lesner
- 1:21:51Speaker 1: math or Steiner Math, Steiner Math for sure. Also Lesner
- 1:21:56Speaker 1: costing Oba and the King of the Ring does not
- 1:21:58Speaker 1: make any sense whatsoever. Which he's Lesnar will cost Oba? Oh? Absolutely,
- 1:22:03Speaker 1: in no scenario, Like if it happens under no circumstance,
- 1:22:08Speaker 1: does it make sense. That's why I'm convinced they're going
- 1:22:12Speaker 1: to do it, given the outcome last night. In no scenario?
- 1:22:18Speaker 1: Would that make sense? Death Side says. The more I
- 1:22:22Speaker 1: think about it, wouldn't it make more sense? Of Oba
- 1:22:24Speaker 1: wins King of the Ring, then he goes on to
- 1:22:26Speaker 1: win the world title from Rome and in summer Slim
- 1:22:28Speaker 1: and then Brock challenges Oba for the world title. Are
- 1:22:35Speaker 1: you actually advocating for this idea? Because I don't like
- 1:22:38Speaker 1: that idea and they do that match when on some
- 1:22:44Speaker 1: random September or October pay per view, It doesn't really
- 1:22:50Speaker 1: make a whole lot of sense to me. Alexander four
- 1:23:02Speaker 1: ninety nine, because I know it's extra early, but I'm
- 1:23:05Speaker 1: curious how a heel soul ruka would work. Does she
- 1:23:08Speaker 1: come out dressed as Shang Sung from Mortal Kombat Heat
- 1:23:13Speaker 1: You're already turning soul Ruka heel. Wait, these fans, man,
- 1:23:22Speaker 1: they don't give you a chance. Put it this way,
- 1:23:28Speaker 1: it is far too early for me to envision a
- 1:23:32Speaker 1: heel soul Ruka on the main roster. It would not work.
- 1:23:40Speaker 1: She has to be a little more established. Even then,
- 1:23:43Speaker 1: I'm not sure if it would work. But to do
- 1:23:47Speaker 1: it anytime soon would be a terrible idea. Nick Rosso
- 1:23:51Speaker 1: with a nineteen ninety nine Nick thank you instead of
- 1:23:54Speaker 1: Rollin's winning King of the Ring. Maybe Breaker beats him
- 1:23:59Speaker 1: and goes to Summer Slam to face Roman. Also, well,
- 1:24:03Speaker 1: I think I kind of mentioned that the other night. Uh. Also,
- 1:24:07Speaker 1: I like JD's idea for the women's EO Winds Queen
- 1:24:10Speaker 1: of the Ring faces Live Blake and Rhea and Jade
- 1:24:12Speaker 1: and Charlotte. Well, Jade and Charlotte is something. I mean,
- 1:24:15Speaker 1: I've been talking about that NonStop, and now we're getting
- 1:24:19Speaker 1: it a version of it. We're getting it in this
- 1:24:21Speaker 1: fucking tournament. We're actually getting it before we ever get
- 1:24:25Speaker 1: the singles match, which I think is stupid. I'm telling you, man,
- 1:24:34Speaker 1: you can't. You gotta look at uh people are sleeping
- 1:24:38Speaker 1: on JC Jane. I'm not saying she's gonna win, but
- 1:24:41Speaker 1: I hope I at least see her make it out
- 1:24:43Speaker 1: of the first round. I feel like I don't know
- 1:24:47Speaker 1: to bouncer in the first round. I don't know that
- 1:24:50Speaker 1: that's something I would do. And you got fucking Jordan Grace,
- 1:24:54Speaker 1: who's dropped off the face of the fucking earth. She
- 1:24:56Speaker 1: couldn't even get a spot in this tournament. Now we
- 1:24:58Speaker 1: needed a spot for the women's work World champion in
- 1:25:00Speaker 1: this tournament. This other woman couldn't even get a spot
- 1:25:04Speaker 1: the Queen of the Ring. It's ridiculous, Alex with a
- 1:25:07Speaker 1: ten that says brother solo. Fun fact, Seth and the
- 1:25:10Speaker 1: Street Profits teamed up to take on Imperium on the
- 1:25:12Speaker 1: thirtieth anniversary of Raw in January of twenty twenty three,
- 1:25:18Speaker 1: So there is some minor history there between Seth and
- 1:25:23Speaker 1: the Prophets. Yeah, I mean, but you're really you're going
- 1:25:29Speaker 1: back in the time machine there for like a one off.
- 1:25:31Speaker 1: So I don't really see that applying to what we're
- 1:25:38Speaker 1: seeing play out now with them Arabia Night, I said
- 1:25:43Speaker 1: two weeks ago, Ilia and an in ring focused star,
- 1:25:47Speaker 1: or do you mean as an in ring focused star
- 1:25:51Speaker 1: won't get many opportunities in WWE. Him not in King
- 1:25:54Speaker 1: of the Ring is a disgrace. He's MIA for three
- 1:25:57Speaker 1: or four months. Would be a better fit in AW. Man,
- 1:26:03Speaker 1: imagine Ilia in there with like Claudio in AW. I mean,
- 1:26:08Speaker 1: the opponents that he would have there. It's just this
- 1:26:11Speaker 1: unlimited supply of great fucking oh my god him and
- 1:26:14Speaker 1: takeshta fuck. Yeah, now I kind of want to see
- 1:26:18Speaker 1: him in AW. Now, well, he's the one on the
- 1:26:22Speaker 1: men's side. Jordan Grace not being in there on the
- 1:26:24Speaker 1: women's side is ridiculous. And then him not being you know,
- 1:26:29Speaker 1: in any of these fun and they're fucking four ways
- 1:26:31Speaker 1: that they're doing. I mean, you have so many bodies
- 1:26:34Speaker 1: in this tournament you couldn't carve out a spot for
- 1:26:37Speaker 1: him in any of these matches. It's preposterous. The entire
- 1:26:41Speaker 1: thing is ridiculous. Ragnarok, you know what, brother, fuck it,
- 1:26:49Speaker 1: go ahead and put Sammy's aim back in the bloodline.
- 1:26:51Speaker 1: Let's just go all in. Happy Monday, brother, and drinks up.
- 1:26:56Speaker 1: Happy Monday, Happy Monday, and also so happy. Bonus goal
- 1:27:03Speaker 1: just unlocked, the bonus goal, and I don't know that
- 1:27:09Speaker 1: we're going to hit the regular goal. So the one
- 1:27:13Speaker 1: be the booker that you get maybe because of the
- 1:27:15Speaker 1: bonus goal. Because the goal tonight was seven hundred likes,
- 1:27:17Speaker 1: we're still only a five forty, so you're doing things
- 1:27:22Speaker 1: a little backwards here. The Uffman says, the rope spot
- 1:27:27Speaker 1: is the new suicide dive. Feels like it. Libido Bell,
- 1:27:33Speaker 1: Besides Earth, what is your favorite planet? Jupiter? M hm,
- 1:27:46Speaker 1: I just think it has a cool name. Misfit Wrestling
- 1:27:53Speaker 1: Podcast says hear me out. If it's winners get to
- 1:27:57Speaker 1: choose their title match at Summer Slim and EO wins,
- 1:27:59Speaker 1: then there is the other match for her. There is
- 1:28:04Speaker 1: other match for her than real I think you. I
- 1:28:08Speaker 1: think you fucked up your super chat. What he is
- 1:28:11Speaker 1: saying is that there's no better match for her than
- 1:28:13Speaker 1: Rio Ripley. I don't think they've ever said that though.
- 1:28:18Speaker 1: I don't think they've ever said that. I mean, they
- 1:28:19Speaker 1: could do whatever they want, but I don't think they've
- 1:28:21Speaker 1: ever actually articulated that the winner it's like money in
- 1:28:25Speaker 1: the bank where they could just pick the champion or
- 1:28:27Speaker 1: the rumble or whatever, where they could just pick the
- 1:28:28Speaker 1: champion of their choice. I don't think that's the way
- 1:28:31Speaker 1: it works, but they see that that would actually be
- 1:28:37Speaker 1: a great idea. That's how you get to Ria and EO.
- 1:28:40Speaker 1: The problem is Rhea has already lost a bunch of
- 1:28:43Speaker 1: times to EO, so they would probably want to give
- 1:28:45Speaker 1: her the win, and then EO gets beat and it's
- 1:28:48Speaker 1: like then what Clay v Men says? Gangrel is still watching?
- 1:29:01Speaker 1: Toya says Rip Paul Hayman. Yes, after the barricade spot
- 1:29:06Speaker 1: tonight HBKC eighty three with a five? What review was
- 1:29:13Speaker 1: it that had Hulk Hogan, Andre the Giant and Bruno
- 1:29:16Speaker 1: San Martino and be the booker? I recall that one
- 1:29:18Speaker 1: going off the rails. Also, you're asking me to identify
- 1:29:21Speaker 1: the exact episode. I have no fucking idea. There's been
- 1:29:26Speaker 1: so much craziness on there. I don't keep track of that.
- 1:29:29Speaker 1: I have no clue. Maybe somebody in the chat knows, though,
- 1:29:34Speaker 1: I have no idea. Abystle Zone says, if I was
- 1:29:39Speaker 1: judging based on just the last twenty four hours, I
- 1:29:41Speaker 1: would think Wwe had soured on fought too. In the
- 1:29:44Speaker 1: main event, he doesn't seem like the threat that he
- 1:29:47Speaker 1: once was. No, because he's not. Because he got beat twice.
- 1:29:50Speaker 1: He couldn't back up all the talk, all the tough talk.
- 1:29:54Speaker 1: You know, he talked up a big fight and he
- 1:29:56Speaker 1: lost both times. You know, he definitely lost something. But again,
- 1:30:03Speaker 1: I think with them it might be the idea of,
- 1:30:05Speaker 1: well let's break them down to build them up. Good
- 1:30:10Speaker 1: luck with that, I hope. So, I hope it works out.
- 1:30:13Speaker 1: Brody says, going through my movie collection and looking for
- 1:30:17Speaker 1: stuff to sell. Still can't decide to sell my Sopranos
- 1:30:20Speaker 1: DVD set. Need some advice from a fellow fan. I
- 1:30:24Speaker 1: wouldn't sell it, but it's not my set. Only you
- 1:30:28Speaker 1: can make that choice. Only you can prevent forest fires,
- 1:30:32Speaker 1: and only you can make that decision. But if it
- 1:30:33Speaker 1: were me, I would not be selling it. Aaron loves
- 1:30:39Speaker 1: Wrestling podcasts, Hey Aaron, what's going on? Thank you for
- 1:30:42Speaker 1: the nine to ninety nine Bloodline and Bloodline two point zero.
- 1:30:45Speaker 1: MFTs are like nWo Hollywood and NWA nWo wolf Pack.
- 1:30:54Speaker 1: The Bloodline storyline needs to end, and we need new
- 1:30:57Speaker 1: Maine Events stars to be pushed and new World Champions
- 1:30:59Speaker 1: and WWWWE is WCW two point zero well, with one
- 1:31:06Speaker 1: very big exception, which is that, unlike WCW, WWE actually
- 1:31:11Speaker 1: makes money, so they could afford to keep doing the
- 1:31:15Speaker 1: same shit over and over again, because they have plenty
- 1:31:17Speaker 1: of people out there who just lap up all the
- 1:31:20Speaker 1: slop and they can just keep making money. WCW did
- 1:31:25Speaker 1: not have that luxury. They were in the red. They
- 1:31:27Speaker 1: kept losing money, and they had hardly any new stars
- 1:31:33Speaker 1: that they actually created, very few of them, chased a
- 1:31:36Speaker 1: lot of them away to the other company, and then
- 1:31:41Speaker 1: they killed the nWo dead and they didn't have any
- 1:31:43Speaker 1: other good ideas. And so you couple that with people
- 1:31:47Speaker 1: in management who didn't want to see them around anymore,
- 1:31:49Speaker 1: and the writing was on the wall. But that's the
- 1:31:53Speaker 1: big difference. WWE makes money, WCW did not. That's why
- 1:31:57Speaker 1: they're dead. That's why they're not here anymore. Be man,
- 1:32:03Speaker 1: the champ kind of looks to me like La Knight
- 1:32:05Speaker 1: is going heel good good. He probably should be a heel.
- 1:32:15Speaker 1: He's clearly not going anywhere as a babyface. So if
- 1:32:18Speaker 1: there is a brand that could really use a heel,
- 1:32:21Speaker 1: like a solid upper mid card heel, right now, I
- 1:32:24Speaker 1: think he would fill that void great. Andre Jefferson, Hey Solo.
- 1:32:32Speaker 1: I think it's possible that Drew ends up on raw
- 1:32:34Speaker 1: when he comes back. Maybe that's the trade balor for McIntyre.
- 1:32:46Speaker 1: Boots Boots helped us get to the goal. Boots with
- 1:32:50Speaker 1: the ten spot. Thank you Boots, putting boots to asses
- 1:32:53Speaker 1: now and forever. And then we have our boy bread
- 1:32:57Speaker 1: Heart is with us. We refresh this list here. He says,
- 1:33:04Speaker 1: there's nothing to the Jessica and Becky feud. It's just
- 1:33:07Speaker 1: their triple h and Hebner like routine. WWE taught me
- 1:33:10Speaker 1: to always expect the lamest result from them. Well, you're
- 1:33:14Speaker 1: probably right about that, but it's been going on long
- 1:33:17Speaker 1: enough now where there has to be some sort of
- 1:33:18Speaker 1: payoff or just fucking stop. Just fucking stop, like this
- 1:33:23Speaker 1: is annoying at this point. If it's not leading to anything,
- 1:33:26Speaker 1: then just stop. It's just stupid. Misfit Wrestling podcast MFTs
- 1:33:34Speaker 1: is the Wolfpack. If the wolf Pack was led by
- 1:33:37Speaker 1: Disco Inferno, I mean, that's kind of an insult to
- 1:33:44Speaker 1: the MFTs and Sidraw with a five. Why do women
- 1:33:48Speaker 1: prefer rocks to minerals because typically mineral the same, mineral,
- 1:33:57Speaker 1: the same hmm ah. And found twenty bucks in parking
- 1:34:04Speaker 1: lot and thought what would Jesus do? So I turned
- 1:34:10Speaker 1: it into wine. A wise choice, although I'm not really
- 1:34:15Speaker 1: a wine guy. I'm more of a spirits person. The
- 1:34:28Speaker 1: joker's voice for a five dollars super chat. Thank you, Sidrie.
- 1:34:33Speaker 1: By the way, EO wins Queen of the Ring wins
- 1:34:36Speaker 1: at Summer Slam against Live, sets up crown Jewel Champion
- 1:34:40Speaker 1: versus Champion against Rhea, Ria can get a win with
- 1:34:44Speaker 1: neither of their titles being on the line. See, I
- 1:34:47Speaker 1: like the way you think that works. That works? How
- 1:34:56Speaker 1: bliss van is here? A little late to the party,
- 1:35:01Speaker 1: A little late to the party there, as u Amy says,
- 1:35:04Speaker 1: Cole buried Fatu again. He called him a chastised dog
- 1:35:08Speaker 1: or something like that. Hayman looked like a sack of
- 1:35:10Speaker 1: potatoes after that bump. Yeah, Michael Cole has really just
- 1:35:15Speaker 1: been or they've had Michael Cole burying him on commentary
- 1:35:18Speaker 1: by saying he was well. Last night he said that
- 1:35:22Speaker 1: he was neutered and what was the other word that
- 1:35:25Speaker 1: he used? He was neutered and oh god, what was
- 1:35:30Speaker 1: the other word that he used? Domesticated? He was a
- 1:35:34Speaker 1: neutered and domesticated werewolf. And I didn't even pick up
- 1:35:41Speaker 1: on the comment he made tonight. What do you call
- 1:35:43Speaker 1: him a chastised dog? Why don't they just stick a
- 1:35:47Speaker 1: sign on his back that says kick me. Aaron Loves Wrestling,
- 1:35:57Speaker 1: big fan of the podcast Brother Which wrestler on the
- 1:35:59Speaker 1: WWE roster? Would you put the world title in WWEE
- 1:36:02Speaker 1: title on? Well, the person I would have put the
- 1:36:04Speaker 1: World Heavyweight Championship on lost two in a row, So
- 1:36:09Speaker 1: so much for that now, I guess you just sort
- 1:36:13Speaker 1: of take your time to build uh to Oba at
- 1:36:17Speaker 1: some point, at some point down the road. I mean,
- 1:36:20Speaker 1: as far as the WWE Championship right now, the WWE title,
- 1:36:29Speaker 1: who do we have in that top scene on SmackDown?
- 1:36:32Speaker 1: They had the chance to do you know, orton number
- 1:36:35Speaker 1: fifteen and all that a WrestleMania, and obviously they fucked
- 1:36:37Speaker 1: that whole thing up. So I've kind of lost that.
- 1:36:41Speaker 1: That's lost a lot of steam with me, the whole
- 1:36:43Speaker 1: Randy and Cody thing, Like, I don't even care at
- 1:36:45Speaker 1: this point. I'd rather be somebody else. I don't know.
- 1:36:56Speaker 1: I don't know who the ideal person would be right now. Honestly,
- 1:37:02Speaker 1: on SmackDown, they just move Balor over I probably they
- 1:37:06Speaker 1: do Cody and Punk. I mean, that's one of the
- 1:37:08Speaker 1: few matches that really kind of has me excited. I
- 1:37:13Speaker 1: know Punk is hardly like a new face Cody, and
- 1:37:17Speaker 1: Punk is still a mash that I would like to
- 1:37:18Speaker 1: see them build to. I mean, it doesn't seem very
- 1:37:20Speaker 1: likely for SummerSlam right now. I might. I might say
- 1:37:26Speaker 1: punk and then let Punk work with a bunch of
- 1:37:28Speaker 1: new people on SmackDown. That might be fresh, and then
- 1:37:32Speaker 1: Punk and drop it to somebody else. You know, somebody
- 1:37:34Speaker 1: knewer at some point down the road. Clay V Man,
- 1:37:45Speaker 1: my bartender is my spirit's guide. That's the right person.
- 1:37:52Speaker 1: There's always trust what your bartender says, and tip your bartender, Sindro.
- 1:37:58Speaker 1: Why couldn't the lifeguards say the hippie? Oh my god,
- 1:38:05Speaker 1: he was too far out? Man? Did you hear about
- 1:38:13Speaker 1: the person who died by viagra? What a hard way
- 1:38:16Speaker 1: to go. I think that might be one of the
- 1:38:22Speaker 1: better ways to go, honestly, and DONI yasu honestly, it's
- 1:38:31Speaker 1: another period of time where I don't bothered checking out
- 1:38:34Speaker 1: the product almost a year, but I always tune in
- 1:38:37Speaker 1: for the sound off. See that's that's the right move
- 1:38:40Speaker 1: right there. See Donnie has the right idea, or better yet,
- 1:38:50Speaker 1: Jacob should put the tongue in death grip on Michael Cole,
- 1:38:56Speaker 1: it will just it will never not amuse me though,
- 1:38:59Speaker 1: that they they put this move over so hard. They
- 1:39:02Speaker 1: even had the announcers doing on camera one week on
- 1:39:04Speaker 1: Raw where they put the camera on them and Michael
- 1:39:06Speaker 1: Cole was like educating us about how lethal the move is,
- 1:39:09Speaker 1: and Corey Graves is trying to talk to us about
- 1:39:11Speaker 1: how deadly the move is. And they gave this guy
- 1:39:14Speaker 1: this new move and he just lost two straight pl
- 1:39:18Speaker 1: he made events with it or not with it, but
- 1:39:22Speaker 1: like you know, he couldn't win. He still has yet
- 1:39:24Speaker 1: to win a match with this dreaded tongue in death grip.
- 1:39:28Speaker 1: I don't give a shit how hard you put that
- 1:39:30Speaker 1: over on commentary. You could put video packages together, you
- 1:39:34Speaker 1: can have him like, you could do all that stuff.
- 1:39:37Speaker 1: It comes down to wins and losses. This is why
- 1:39:39Speaker 1: I say wins and losses. For the people who say, oh,
- 1:39:41Speaker 1: they don't matter anymore. I'm not saying they're the end
- 1:39:44Speaker 1: all be all, but yes they matter. They still matter,
- 1:39:46Speaker 1: They will always matter, They will always matter. Put this
- 1:39:52Speaker 1: move over as strong as you want to. If he's
- 1:39:54Speaker 1: not going out there and winning with it, then the
- 1:39:55Speaker 1: move doesn't mean anything. It's just a move, Cameron Spencer.
- 1:40:05Speaker 1: Seth should feud with Punk next for the right to
- 1:40:08Speaker 1: face Cody for the title. Are you down for that
- 1:40:11Speaker 1: going back to Seth and Punk? No, not really been there,
- 1:40:15Speaker 1: done that. I really don't have any appetite to go
- 1:40:17Speaker 1: back to that again. Cody, Cody and Punk absolutely, Uh
- 1:40:22Speaker 1: Seth and Punk, It yeah, doesn't do anything for me.
- 1:40:29Speaker 1: All right, Well, we hit the bonus goal. We hit
- 1:40:32Speaker 1: six oh two, which is actually, uh, pretty good, pretty good.
- 1:40:36Speaker 1: It's not seven hundred though, we fell one hundred short.
- 1:40:41Speaker 1: But because we hit the bonus goal, we are we
- 1:40:43Speaker 1: are still going to get the one round to be
- 1:40:44Speaker 1: the bookers. So you found a way to get there.
- 1:40:48Speaker 1: So let's do it. Ladies and gentlemen. It is now
- 1:40:52Speaker 1: time to be the booker. Although I am a little
- 1:40:57Speaker 1: worried after what happened last night about what this is
- 1:40:59Speaker 1: going to look like. I don't know what to expect,
- 1:41:03Speaker 1: A little scared. You were not with us last night? Boy?
- 1:41:11Speaker 1: Did you what did you miss one? Boy? Did you
- 1:41:15Speaker 1: miss one? All? Right? Here we go, tag team, be
- 1:41:18Speaker 1: the booker. Wyat six intensifies. Well, you'll be happy to
- 1:41:27Speaker 1: know that when we have a superchat goal. So in
- 1:41:31Speaker 1: this case, this round is coming from the goal. It
- 1:41:35Speaker 1: is immune to the Wyat six or any of the
- 1:41:39Speaker 1: other poison pills that may be on here. So we
- 1:41:42Speaker 1: are going to get a guaranteed full round to be
- 1:41:45Speaker 1: the booker no matter what. And we are beginning with
- 1:41:52Speaker 1: the former tag team champions. We have the yeat Man,
- 1:41:56Speaker 1: Jay Usso and Cody Rhodes. If you remember, they were
- 1:42:00Speaker 1: tag team champions at one point, and now they're back
- 1:42:07Speaker 1: more bloodlined. We can't get away from it. Cody and Jay.
- 1:42:13Speaker 1: I know that that's many of you, your favorite tag team.
- 1:42:17Speaker 1: They're gonna be stepping into the Oh my god, after
- 1:42:21Speaker 1: we just talked about it. Look who it is. It
- 1:42:24Speaker 1: is Meng. It's Meng and the barbarian Meng, the master
- 1:42:33Speaker 1: of the Tonguan death Grip. Now, if you want a
- 1:42:38Speaker 1: Tongan death grip that has applied properly, this is the
- 1:42:42Speaker 1: man you go to right here. This is very interesting
- 1:42:46Speaker 1: now because you've got Meng on one side and you've
- 1:42:49Speaker 1: got Jay Usso on the others. So I sense that
- 1:42:52Speaker 1: there may be a turn here. I think that in
- 1:42:54Speaker 1: the middle of this match, they may turn on Cody
- 1:43:01Speaker 1: and Cody's gonna get screwed over here. That is pretty
- 1:43:06Speaker 1: crazy though, After just spending an entire minute venting about
- 1:43:10Speaker 1: the tonguean death grip, fucking Haku pops up on my screen.
- 1:43:15Speaker 1: I'm telling you, man, this thing is like it's like Siri.
- 1:43:18Speaker 1: I don't know how, but it like it knows, it
- 1:43:20Speaker 1: hears things. All right, women's be the booker. We have Camille,
- 1:43:29Speaker 1: the former NWA Women's champion. She had a very long
- 1:43:33Speaker 1: run I think over five hundred days as the NWA
- 1:43:37Speaker 1: Women's chance. Is that Capriese Coleman I think it is. Oh,
- 1:43:40Speaker 1: that's Ring of Honor? So wait, what belt is that?
- 1:43:48Speaker 1: That has to be her NWA belt that she brought
- 1:43:50Speaker 1: to Ring of Honor? Hmmm, this image confuses me. Well,
- 1:43:59Speaker 1: enjoy Camille because even though she just made her return
- 1:44:02Speaker 1: recently to AW television, she's already vanished again, so there's
- 1:44:05Speaker 1: no telling when you're going to see her next time.
- 1:44:07Speaker 1: So wave goodbye to Camille. We pick her opponent, choose
- 1:44:21Speaker 1: four women, and book a tag team match. Okay, well
- 1:44:27Speaker 1: then I guess that's what we have to do. Should
- 1:44:30Speaker 1: we start ou? Oh yeah, we'll start over. We'll start
- 1:44:33Speaker 1: over forget Camille. We got to pick four women, so
- 1:44:37Speaker 1: that's what we're gonna do. This just turned into a
- 1:44:40Speaker 1: tag team match play Team number one. We have Nikita Lions. Oh.
- 1:44:49Speaker 1: I know many of you are very happy when we
- 1:44:51Speaker 1: land on Nikita Lions here. I don't know who that
- 1:44:54Speaker 1: is that she landed on in this image. You know,
- 1:44:56Speaker 1: there was a report recently, just this week in fact,
- 1:45:00Speaker 1: about Nikita Lyons saying that there were people within WWE
- 1:45:02Speaker 1: who are very impressed with the progress that she's made,
- 1:45:06Speaker 1: and there was talk about potentially even calling her up
- 1:45:08Speaker 1: to Monday Night Raw and they decided against it. But
- 1:45:12Speaker 1: apparently there are people within the company who were very
- 1:45:15Speaker 1: happy with her progress. I haven't seen too much of her.
- 1:45:19Speaker 1: I think she's been in Evolved. I don't is she
- 1:45:21Speaker 1: back in NXT. I don't even know they actually sent
- 1:45:25Speaker 1: her down. They demoted her to Evolve. But if she's
- 1:45:30Speaker 1: actually making progress, then great great. Nikita Lyons is going
- 1:45:40Speaker 1: to be teaming with Athena. Athena and Nikita they're going
- 1:45:50Speaker 1: to be taking on Oh wow, I forgot that she
- 1:45:53Speaker 1: was in here. Alicia Fox. I think she's going by
- 1:45:59Speaker 1: her real name in TNA, right, Victoria Crawford. Yeah, I
- 1:46:05Speaker 1: don't know about this match. I like Athena, but and
- 1:46:14Speaker 1: I like Willow Willow Nightingale. I like Willow, and I
- 1:46:19Speaker 1: like Athena. But yeah, I can't. I can't give this
- 1:46:22Speaker 1: a bell. I don't think I don't like this match.
- 1:46:28Speaker 1: This match is a no for me. So we are
- 1:46:32Speaker 1: one for one, or, as a brack Lesner would say,
- 1:46:35Speaker 1: we are one plus one. Here and be the booker.
- 1:46:38Speaker 1: So it comes down to our main event. She's splitting
- 1:46:45Speaker 1: her time between Evolve and NIX. I thought she was
- 1:46:47Speaker 1: just still exclusively in Evolved. So yeah, no clean sweep
- 1:46:54Speaker 1: tonight unless you can come up with the eighty or
- 1:46:57Speaker 1: so likes in the next two minutes. Here, here we go.
- 1:47:03Speaker 1: We got ah. Look at this guy. Look at this
- 1:47:07Speaker 1: fucking character that just popped up on my screen. Here
- 1:47:12Speaker 1: it is JD from NY two six, stealing valuable ring
- 1:47:19Speaker 1: time from people who deserve it by taking their spot
- 1:47:22Speaker 1: in the main event, politicking his way into the main event,
- 1:47:26Speaker 1: into my main event. Here and be the booker. We're
- 1:47:33Speaker 1: supposed to be selling tickets here, we're supposed to be
- 1:47:36Speaker 1: moving tickets. How is this going to sell tickets? It
- 1:47:39Speaker 1: depends on who his opponent is really I mean, that's
- 1:47:42Speaker 1: really what it boils down to here. I don't know
- 1:47:49Speaker 1: who's it going to be. It's gonna be wow, Wow,
- 1:47:55Speaker 1: what a main event? Holy shit, JD from New York
- 1:48:00Speaker 1: against Bruno Sam Martino. So at least you know, at
- 1:48:05Speaker 1: least you know that you're getting two New York icons
- 1:48:09Speaker 1: here in your main event. Bruno sold out more shows
- 1:48:13Speaker 1: in Madison Square Garden than anybody else, but now he
- 1:48:18Speaker 1: has to compete with JD. The only problem is JD
- 1:48:23Speaker 1: can yell and scream all he wants in Bruno, but
- 1:48:27Speaker 1: he can't take Bruno down. This is gonna be I mean,
- 1:48:29Speaker 1: it's gonna be a massacre, is what this is gonna be.
- 1:48:36Speaker 1: JD against Bruno Sam Martino. Well, look, if you're gonna
- 1:48:40Speaker 1: do it, if you're gonna get in the ring, you
- 1:48:41Speaker 1: may as well get in the ring with the best. Yes,
- 1:48:44Speaker 1: at least at least he gets fucked up by a legend.
- 1:48:47Speaker 1: Can you imagine if I landed on like fucking Austin
- 1:48:51Speaker 1: Theory or something, anybody's gonna fuck me up. I'd rather
- 1:48:56Speaker 1: be Bruno San Martino. There was, believe me, there was
- 1:49:01Speaker 1: some other potentially very embarrassing options that we could have
- 1:49:04Speaker 1: landed on as his opponent. Here A lot of people
- 1:49:07Speaker 1: actually MB the booker, who I'm sure would have loved
- 1:49:10Speaker 1: to have stepped into the ring with JD. I think
- 1:49:12Speaker 1: Dax is in here somewhere. Actually Dax is not near.
- 1:49:14Speaker 1: But oh man, well that was an interesting conclusion to
- 1:49:20Speaker 1: be the book and I was unexpected. Or new Jack,
- 1:49:24Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't think Nujack is in there.
- 1:49:29Speaker 1: I don't know. Actually maybe he is. I think Nwjack
- 1:49:34Speaker 1: may be in there. Oh man, can you imagine JD
- 1:49:37Speaker 1: against new Jack? Oh, you have dried chickens, says women's
- 1:49:42Speaker 1: tag team match Camille as the special guest referee. Well
- 1:49:45Speaker 1: that might be the best shakeuld hope for these days.
- 1:49:52Speaker 1: Where's the Wyatt six when you really need them? Yeah,
- 1:49:55Speaker 1: we could have used the Wyatt six massacre there. Of course,
- 1:49:57Speaker 1: when we need them, they're not there. Toya ate nice
- 1:50:04Speaker 1: with a ten spot, says Roman told Jay to go
- 1:50:08Speaker 1: after the other title. I thought if he wins King
- 1:50:10Speaker 1: of the Ring, he would challenge the champion on his brand.
- 1:50:14Speaker 1: I'm confused. Did they change their Oh that's right, Well
- 1:50:17Speaker 1: maybe they did change the rules. Either that or Roman
- 1:50:18Speaker 1: doesn't know the rules. I guess based on what Roman
- 1:50:21Speaker 1: said in that prombo. They didn't explicitly say it, but
- 1:50:25Speaker 1: if you listen to what Roman said, then I guess
- 1:50:27Speaker 1: in theory, you could choose the champion of your choice.
- 1:50:31Speaker 1: But it's the bloodline, so they can bend the rules
- 1:50:33Speaker 1: and do whatever they want. I don't know what the answer.
- 1:50:38Speaker 1: This is the state of WWE right now. They don't
- 1:50:40Speaker 1: even know what they're doing. They put incorrect fucking King
- 1:50:42Speaker 1: of the Ring brackets on their own website earlier. You
- 1:50:45Speaker 1: think they know what they're doing from one hour to
- 1:50:47Speaker 1: the next. Cameron says, the reason I want Jacks to
- 1:50:52Speaker 1: attack Lash is so she goes solo and joins the MFTs.
- 1:50:58Speaker 1: Are you down for that? So Nya joins the MFT.
- 1:51:04Speaker 1: I again, you're asking me if I care about something
- 1:51:08Speaker 1: that I don't care about, Like, adding Naya Jacks to
- 1:51:11Speaker 1: the MFTs is not suddenly going to make me care
- 1:51:13Speaker 1: about the MFTs. I'm not opposed to like the bloodline
- 1:51:18Speaker 1: or some of these groups having like a female member,
- 1:51:21Speaker 1: but like, is it going to get me to care
- 1:51:22Speaker 1: about the MFTs? No, you could tell me that if
- 1:51:26Speaker 1: I suddenly took an interest in and started liking the
- 1:51:29Speaker 1: MFTs that it would bring world peace, and I still
- 1:51:31Speaker 1: wouldn't give a shit like let it burn dry. Chicken
- 1:51:36Speaker 1: says that a JD from n Y versus Bruno edgend
- 1:51:40Speaker 1: Christian doing commentary with Solo Monster and Navy forty one, anyone,
- 1:51:46Speaker 1: why didn't undertake or want the funeral parlor? He couldn't
- 1:51:50Speaker 1: handle the mortgage? All right, Well, if I do this
- 1:51:54Speaker 1: to Sidro, then I have to do this to you. Sorry. Well,
- 1:52:03Speaker 1: we ended up making it to six hundred and fifty likes,
- 1:52:06Speaker 1: which is very admirable, but unfortunately it falls short of
- 1:52:10Speaker 1: the seven hundred, so we only had the one round
- 1:52:14Speaker 1: to be the booker tonight. We will, however, have a
- 1:52:17Speaker 1: chance to bring it back on Wednesday. I know there's
- 1:52:21Speaker 1: a certain, a certain big game going on on Wednesday
- 1:52:26Speaker 1: night that may take some of you away, but still
- 1:52:29Speaker 1: tune in if you can. I will be live after
- 1:52:33Speaker 1: Dynamite on Way. Tell me it's not another three hour
- 1:52:36Speaker 1: show this week. I don't even know anymore from one
- 1:52:39Speaker 1: week to the next that they add the fucking hour
- 1:52:41Speaker 1: of collision to the end. Not that it matters, I'm
- 1:52:43Speaker 1: not going to watch it, but good Lord. I do
- 1:52:47Speaker 1: know that MJF though, is defending his aw World Championship
- 1:52:51Speaker 1: against Rouche, so we do have that coming up, and
- 1:52:55Speaker 1: we have Alex Windsor is going to be wrestling a
- 1:52:58Speaker 1: wild card in the Owen Heart Tournament. So those are
- 1:53:03Speaker 1: among the matches on Dynamite this week. Bred Hart says,
- 1:53:08Speaker 1: add the legendary Yoshihiko to be the booker. I don't know.
- 1:53:17Speaker 1: I feel like I feel like I did, or if
- 1:53:21Speaker 1: I didn't, I may I may have Yoshihiko on a
- 1:53:23Speaker 1: lit I have so many updates to it that I
- 1:53:24Speaker 1: still haven't just had the time to make Yoshihiko. If
- 1:53:28Speaker 1: Yoshihiko is not in be the booker, Yoshihiko will end
- 1:53:31Speaker 1: up in be the booker. But where does Yoshihiko go?
- 1:53:36Speaker 1: Women's be the booker? Right? I don't know. I would
- 1:53:41Speaker 1: think right Yoshika would be a women's be the booker.
- 1:53:44Speaker 1: Would Yoshiko get offended? If I? If I put, I
- 1:53:48Speaker 1: don't even know. I always thoy Yoshihika was a woman,
- 1:53:52Speaker 1: but now I'm not so sure. Anyway, Thank you guys
- 1:53:57Speaker 1: for all the fun tonight hanging out with me a
- 1:53:59Speaker 1: little bit earlier than usual, But I think we had
- 1:54:02Speaker 1: a good stream here, good weekend, and a good way
- 1:54:05Speaker 1: to close out the month of May. Now it is
- 1:54:06Speaker 1: the beginning of June, and hopefully we will have a
- 1:54:09Speaker 1: strong month again. Tomorrow, brand new episode of the Uncrowned
- 1:54:13Speaker 1: Wrestling Show. I will be talking about the Mask versus
- 1:54:16Speaker 1: Mask match, which I have not had the chance to
- 1:54:18Speaker 1: talk about yet from the Triple A show, and a
- 1:54:21Speaker 1: bunch of other things as well. I didn't even get
- 1:54:23Speaker 1: into the Rick Flair tweets about his son and a
- 1:54:25Speaker 1: bunch of other stuff. We'll talk about all of that
- 1:54:27Speaker 1: on Uncrowned tomorrow, and I'm sure some of that anyway
- 1:54:30Speaker 1: on Tuesday Night Titans. We'll have a lot to dive
- 1:54:33Speaker 1: into there with JD if he survives his main event
- 1:54:38Speaker 1: match with Bruno and that. We have Dynamite Wednesday, and
- 1:54:42Speaker 1: then we have SmackDown post show on Friday, probably going
- 1:54:47Speaker 1: to go live around eight pm Eastern for that again,
- 1:54:50Speaker 1: so just be aware of that a little bit earlier
- 1:54:52Speaker 1: than usual. That's all I got. So be well, stay safe,
