Latest / Solomonster Sounds Off / WWE Clash in Italy 2026 Review | MORE OF THE SAME With The Bloodline, Oba Femi LOSES
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Only appropriate here for the clash in Italy stream that
- 0:04Speaker 1: we have some music that makes you feel like you're
- 0:06Speaker 1: right at your grandmother's kitchen. Since we can't be there,
- 0:10Speaker 1: in turn with everybody else, I thought I would bring
- 0:13Speaker 1: Italy to all of you. Tonight. We had tribal combat,
- 0:17Speaker 1: the World Heavyweight Championship on the line. We weren't sure
- 0:20Speaker 1: what Jacob fought To's status was going to be. Suffered
- 0:23Speaker 1: a back injury the other night at a live event
- 0:26Speaker 1: in a match against Solo Socoa, who I believe he's
- 0:29Speaker 1: going to be seeing quite a bit of on television
- 0:31Speaker 1: very soon, so there was some speculation about what his
- 0:35Speaker 1: condition would be, would he be able to go for
- 0:38Speaker 1: the match. We got the match tonight, and first half
- 0:43Speaker 1: of the match honestly was kind of boring, picked up
- 0:47Speaker 1: nicely a little bit later on. They ended up having
- 0:49Speaker 1: a good match. I'm not going to sit here and
- 0:51Speaker 1: tell you it was anything great, and we had the
- 0:54Speaker 1: very predictable outcome. We had Roman Reigns retaining the World
- 0:59Speaker 1: Heavyweight Chainampionship. Jacob fought two drops too straight to the
- 1:04Speaker 1: tribal chief in the same month. This man cannot beat
- 1:09Speaker 1: Roman Reigns, which of course, now means that Jacob Fought
- 1:12Speaker 1: Two must serve Roman Reigns. Maybe he's going to serve
- 1:17Speaker 1: him an Italian dinner. I don't know. I don't know,
- 1:21Speaker 1: but he's gonna have to serve him. He's going to
- 1:22Speaker 1: have to acknowledge him. That will happen on Raw tomorrow night.
- 1:27Speaker 1: And I watched the end of that match, and again
- 1:29Speaker 1: I wasn't shocked, which is why I went with Roman
- 1:32Speaker 1: and my predictions when I went over the predictions for
- 1:34Speaker 1: this show. But doesn't mean I wasn't disappointed to see it.
- 1:38Speaker 1: I was more disappointed in what we are really looking
- 1:43Speaker 1: at now coming out of the match, because I told
- 1:45Speaker 1: all of you, I said, you know, if Jacob Fought
- 1:48Speaker 1: two were to actually win the World Championship on this show,
- 1:52Speaker 1: as per what Roman Reigns said on television last week,
- 1:54Speaker 1: he would have to fall back. He would fall in
- 1:57Speaker 1: line and basically become number two, and Jacob FAUGHTU would
- 2:01Speaker 1: become essentially the tribal chief, right, he would be the
- 2:04Speaker 1: guy in the driver's seat, and we were still gonna
- 2:07Speaker 1: get bloodline lore and that was not going to go away,
- 2:10Speaker 1: but it would be a little bit of a different
- 2:11Speaker 1: spin on things. Right with Roman having to take a
- 2:14Speaker 1: back seat to somebody else. At least that would freshen
- 2:17Speaker 1: things up, make things a little more interesting. If Roman
- 2:20Speaker 1: Reigns were to win this match. Well, now you've taken
- 2:24Speaker 1: Jacob Fatu, You've beaten him twice, You've made it very
- 2:27Speaker 1: clear that this man cannot be the world heavyweight champion,
- 2:30Speaker 1: and now he falls in line like everybody else in
- 2:32Speaker 1: Roman Reigns continues on, you know, doing the same stuff
- 2:35Speaker 1: that Roman Reigns has been doing for the last six years,
- 2:37Speaker 1: and nothing really appreciably changes here. Everything pretty much says
- 2:40Speaker 1: the same. And that's what they did tonight. Roman went
- 2:44Speaker 1: over and he was very full of himself, and he
- 2:49Speaker 1: glances over and who do we see in the crowd
- 2:53Speaker 1: when the match is over, looking at Jacob fought to
- 2:56Speaker 1: and shaking his head like a disappointed dad. Solo Socoa.
- 3:02Speaker 1: The MFTs are in the crowd, and Roman looks over
- 3:07Speaker 1: at them and says, we'll take care of them. They're next.
- 3:12Speaker 1: My heart sank when I heard him say this, and
- 3:15Speaker 1: I realize what it was that we were looking at
- 3:17Speaker 1: here now going forward, or at least what it appears
- 3:20Speaker 1: to be. My heart sank. I felt like I was
- 3:23Speaker 1: being transported back to wargames in twenty twenty four. I
- 3:26Speaker 1: felt like I was actually going backwards. It's like when
- 3:29Speaker 1: you're kind of driving up a very steep hill and
- 3:32Speaker 1: it's as if the engine cuts out on you, and
- 3:34Speaker 1: now you get that feeling like, oh shit, the car's
- 3:36Speaker 1: rolling backwards. That's kind of what I feel like now
- 3:39Speaker 1: with WWE. And I said this on X Twitter whatever,
- 3:45Speaker 1: that a conversation has to be had about this company's
- 3:51Speaker 1: reluctance refusal to shine a spotlight on any other real
- 3:59Speaker 1: majors when it comes. I'm talking about like main event,
- 4:03Speaker 1: top line stories, like the story of the company, right,
- 4:06Speaker 1: because it's been so focused on the Bloodline for so
- 4:09Speaker 1: many years now, and I understand like that was their
- 4:13Speaker 1: golden goose for so long. Not that they still can't
- 4:16Speaker 1: make money off of it, right, but we're far beyond
- 4:19Speaker 1: the peak years of the Bloodline story and it worked
- 4:21Speaker 1: out so well for them for so long, and I
- 4:23Speaker 1: get it, I get it. I understand it. It's like
- 4:25Speaker 1: WCW with the nWo. It worked for them for so
- 4:29Speaker 1: long until it didn't, until it didn't, and they went
- 4:33Speaker 1: so long with it that people got sick. And tired
- 4:35Speaker 1: of it, and they kept adding more members and it
- 4:37Speaker 1: just wasn't the same. And they had strayed so far
- 4:40Speaker 1: away from what had worked with that story when it
- 4:44Speaker 1: first started. And then we ended up with splinter factions
- 4:48Speaker 1: and we had nWo two thousand and I'm like, what
- 4:50Speaker 1: the fuck are we doing here? But they held onto it.
- 4:55Speaker 1: They squeezed it for every last drop they could. This
- 4:58Speaker 1: is WWE's version of that. They can't let go. Everything
- 5:03Speaker 1: has to revolve around the bloodline. The bloodline vortex is real.
- 5:06Speaker 1: It's a real thing, and it's one thing to continue
- 5:10Speaker 1: the bloodline story. It's a completely different thing to focus
- 5:15Speaker 1: so heavily on it that we are still closing shows,
- 5:18Speaker 1: We are still closing ples with Roman Reigns putting his
- 5:22Speaker 1: finger in the air in the usso's flanking him as
- 5:25Speaker 1: his young boys right as Seampunk called them, and new
- 5:28Speaker 1: people falling in line behind Roman and now teasing another
- 5:32Speaker 1: bloodline civil war. And that is how Clash in Italy
- 5:38Speaker 1: went off the air tonight with a very very apparent
- 5:45Speaker 1: tease of a bloodline slash MFT feud yet to come,
- 5:52Speaker 1: potentially with Jacob Fatu being caught in the middle. I
- 5:55Speaker 1: guess that's the interesting little wrinkle that they might be
- 5:58Speaker 1: putting into this. And I'm like, these people can't be serious,
- 6:03Speaker 1: Like you cannot seriously be teasing this. Are we so
- 6:09Speaker 1: devoid of idea? Are we so out of fresh ideas
- 6:12Speaker 1: in this multi billion dollar company with an entire creative team,
- 6:17Speaker 1: that everything is still revolving around the fucking bloodline this
- 6:21Speaker 1: twenty twenty six when Roman came back as the tribal
- 6:25Speaker 1: chief with Paul Hayman by his side, it was August
- 6:28Speaker 1: of twenty twenty. We are approaching six years, six years
- 6:35Speaker 1: since this whole story started. Remember Roman and Jayu, So
- 6:39Speaker 1: that's where it all began. Six years of this and
- 6:44Speaker 1: they still keep going back to that same well. And
- 6:48Speaker 1: when the show was over again, there was nothing about
- 6:50Speaker 1: the show that made me kind of sit back and
- 6:53Speaker 1: take stock and go, well this this feels fresh, This
- 6:55Speaker 1: feels like something different, This feels like something new. No,
- 6:57Speaker 1: it was more of the same. It was more of
- 7:00Speaker 1: the same. It was your typical wwepl e. It was
- 7:03Speaker 1: your typical you know, bloodline main event. And now we'll
- 7:06Speaker 1: get more of this lore, you know that'll play itself
- 7:09Speaker 1: out on television And look, I don't know where they're
- 7:11Speaker 1: gonna take it. You don't know where they're gonna We
- 7:13Speaker 1: have kind of a sense of where it might go,
- 7:15Speaker 1: and maybe they'll end up taking a detour and it'll
- 7:17Speaker 1: go a completely different way. That's actually interesting and it'll
- 7:21Speaker 1: add a completely new dimension to things. But as things
- 7:24Speaker 1: currently stand, I watched Jacob Fatu lose that match tonight
- 7:27Speaker 1: and I see where they appear to be going with this,
- 7:30Speaker 1: and none of this excites me. And this is what
- 7:33Speaker 1: everything is built around this. This is what they close
- 7:35Speaker 1: the show with, is what they're going to open role
- 7:37Speaker 1: with tomorrow night. And I'm like, they are just so
- 7:41Speaker 1: out of ideas. And to illustrate my point when the
- 7:45Speaker 1: show is over, we had Roman Reigns as the show
- 7:48Speaker 1: was going off the air making comments about QB one
- 7:52Speaker 1: fuck that, I'm the tribal chief, I'm the guy, this
- 7:55Speaker 1: and that, And on the post show they asked Cody
- 7:57Speaker 1: Rhodes about this because Cody didn't hear what Roman had
- 7:59Speaker 1: Sae said, and Cody made some comments about Roman, Right,
- 8:03Speaker 1: I'm hard to be easy to find, hard to beats.
- 8:06Speaker 1: You know, if he wants to get in the line,
- 8:08Speaker 1: I'll give him a rematch too, you know, because we're
- 8:10Speaker 1: one win apiece. He kicked my ass, I kicked his ass.
- 8:14Speaker 1: He wants in line, go ahead, step in line. And
- 8:18Speaker 1: then they had a little face to face confrontation. They
- 8:20Speaker 1: ran into each other in the back. No words were exchanged,
- 8:24Speaker 1: but it was sort of a glance and then Cody
- 8:26Speaker 1: walked off, so leaning into the tease of yet another
- 8:30Speaker 1: match between Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes. And I don't
- 8:33Speaker 1: know when that match would come. That could be the
- 8:34Speaker 1: Crown Jewel match, if we assume there's going to be
- 8:37Speaker 1: a Crown Jewel Show in Saudi later this year. If
- 8:40Speaker 1: things were to stay exactly the way they are right now,
- 8:42Speaker 1: you got Roman Reigns as the champion on one brand,
- 8:45Speaker 1: Cody Rhodes of the champion on the other brand. As
- 8:47Speaker 1: of this moment, we are headed for a Crown Jewel
- 8:51Speaker 1: title match between Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns. Do I
- 8:54Speaker 1: think they'll still be champion by that point? Probably not,
- 8:57Speaker 1: But that's the way things are shaping up. Maybe it's
- 8:59Speaker 1: not Crowned. Maybe they're giving a little hint of what's
- 9:02Speaker 1: to come at Saudi Mania next year. And look, the
- 9:06Speaker 1: first two matches that Roman and Cody had were great matches.
- 9:09Speaker 1: I'm not saying that they were bad matches, But what
- 9:10Speaker 1: I'm saying is you find all these examples where it
- 9:14Speaker 1: just feels like you're watching shit on a loop. Nothing
- 9:19Speaker 1: ever really feels like it changes. They're running, They're running
- 9:23Speaker 1: the greatest hits basically of the last few years, over
- 9:27Speaker 1: and over again. You just get to a point where
- 9:30Speaker 1: it's like, is this really exciting anymore? Is this really
- 9:34Speaker 1: what we're building to? Is this what the next six
- 9:36Speaker 1: to twelve months of WWE television is going to look like?
- 9:43Speaker 1: Roman Reigns is still the World Heavyweight Champion, Cody Roads
- 9:47Speaker 1: is still the WWE Champion. I thought we would get
- 9:49Speaker 1: I didn't think both titles would change hands. I thought,
- 9:52Speaker 1: if anything, one title would change hands, I thought it
- 9:54Speaker 1: would be Cody's belt. As it turned out, none of
- 9:57Speaker 1: the top titles changed hands tonight. One of the women's
- 10:00Speaker 1: mid card championships that changed hands. That was it. But
- 10:04Speaker 1: speaking of the Cody match, we had a controversial finish
- 10:07Speaker 1: to the WWE title match. Gunther lost the man who
- 10:11Speaker 1: had not lost a single match since losing the CM
- 10:14Speaker 1: punk at Summer Slam last year. The man who sent
- 10:17Speaker 1: John Cena off into the sunset, who sent aj Styles
- 10:20Speaker 1: off into the sunset, has now lost, and he lost
- 10:24Speaker 1: in the most unremarkable way to Cody Roads. It was
- 10:27Speaker 1: one of those finishes where you saw it and it's like, eh,
- 10:30Speaker 1: what what was it when this happen here? But they
- 10:34Speaker 1: did it in the way because they want to run
- 10:36Speaker 1: it back again. That's probably going to be your Night
- 10:38Speaker 1: of Champions main event. So now they get to do
- 10:41Speaker 1: Cody and gun through at least one more time. But yes,
- 10:42Speaker 1: in the meantime, Gunther has lost on a controversial finish
- 10:47Speaker 1: at the end of that opening match tonight. Then we
- 10:51Speaker 1: had what they were billing as the rematch of the century,
- 10:55Speaker 1: the greatest rematch in wrestling history. He beat Goldberg too, Yeah,
- 11:01Speaker 1: well fuck Goldberg. We had what they called the biggest
- 11:05Speaker 1: rematch of all time, Brock Lesnar against Obafemi Part two.
- 11:13Speaker 1: And I laid out a whole thing going into this
- 11:15Speaker 1: about why Obafemi did not have to lose this match.
- 11:18Speaker 1: I mean, sure he might, but I think everybody was
- 11:21Speaker 1: assuming that, Okay, Brock's back, We're gonna get the trilogy.
- 11:24Speaker 1: So so Brock has to win match number two and I'm like, no,
- 11:27Speaker 1: he doesn't. He doesn't have to lose match too. This
- 11:32Speaker 1: is actually a perfectly fine story you can tell where
- 11:35Speaker 1: he wins match number two and then he goes on
- 11:37Speaker 1: to win match number three as well. And of course
- 11:41Speaker 1: WWE did what you would expect WWE to do, and
- 11:44Speaker 1: they had Brock Lesnar beat Obafemi. So not only did
- 11:48Speaker 1: Gunther suffer his first loss tonight in almost a year,
- 11:51Speaker 1: Obafemi suffered his first loss on the main roster. Now
- 11:56Speaker 1: they went out there and they had what I thought
- 11:58Speaker 1: was a really fun match, had an excellent match, a
- 12:01Speaker 1: better match than the one they had at wrestle Media,
- 12:03Speaker 1: although not that much longer. The WrestleMania match was about
- 12:07Speaker 1: four minutes. This one was about six. It didn't even
- 12:10Speaker 1: go full two minutes longer. It was marginally longer, but
- 12:14Speaker 1: it was all action from bell to bell. You know
- 12:16Speaker 1: what it reminded me of, speaking of Goldberg, it reminded
- 12:19Speaker 1: me of the Goldberg Brock match from WrestleMania thirty three,
- 12:22Speaker 1: which also went six minutes, and that was all action
- 12:24Speaker 1: from bell to bell. It was finished her spam, but
- 12:27Speaker 1: it was exactly what it needed to be. That's exactly
- 12:30Speaker 1: what this match was six minutes smash Mouth Rock wins,
- 12:35Speaker 1: same outcome, and so now of course they're not at
- 12:39Speaker 1: up one win apiece, so ge I wonder how this
- 12:42Speaker 1: is going to end. Of course, they're going to run
- 12:46Speaker 1: it back at Summer Slim. Although there is a little wrinkle.
- 12:49Speaker 1: There is a little wrinkle in things. I'll talk about
- 12:51Speaker 1: that here in a second. We had two very good
- 12:53Speaker 1: women's title matches on this show. Jade Car Gill had
- 12:56Speaker 1: what I thought was the best match that I've ever
- 12:58Speaker 1: seen her have in her career in yet another loss
- 13:02Speaker 1: to Rhea Ripley, which is exactly what it needed to be.
- 13:06Speaker 1: And soul Ruka is the brand new Women's Intercontinental Champion.
- 13:10Speaker 1: She finally won one. I mean, Becky was making fun
- 13:13Speaker 1: of her on television for weeks and she was winless.
- 13:18Speaker 1: Not only did she win, she actually hit her finish
- 13:21Speaker 1: and it looked good, so good for her. So she
- 13:23Speaker 1: is now the Women's Intercontinental Champion. This show, I thought, overall,
- 13:29Speaker 1: it was actually it was a good show if you
- 13:31Speaker 1: base it entirely on the inn ring, if you look
- 13:33Speaker 1: at the matches that we got tonight, because like storyline wise,
- 13:38Speaker 1: there was nothing here. But if you look at the
- 13:41Speaker 1: Inn Ring. I can't say it was a bad show.
- 13:44Speaker 1: It was a bad show in certain other ways, but
- 13:46Speaker 1: in terms of the matches we got it. It was
- 13:48Speaker 1: good in terms of the Inn Ring. Now on the
- 13:52Speaker 1: post show, we got the brackets for the King and
- 13:56Speaker 1: Queen of the Ring tournaments, which are going to commence
- 13:59Speaker 1: this week on television. The finals will take place in
- 14:03Speaker 1: Riot at Night of champions. The winners of each tournament
- 14:06Speaker 1: will then get a world championship opportunity at Summer Slim. Okay,
- 14:10Speaker 1: so they've already laid all of that out. They are
- 14:14Speaker 1: doing fatal four ways instead of doing singles matches, which
- 14:18Speaker 1: is again I wish they would do straight singles matches. Here,
- 14:22Speaker 1: this is how they do things. If it's not a
- 14:24Speaker 1: fatal four way, it's a triple threat. And they do
- 14:26Speaker 1: it because they have no fucking balls. They don't have
- 14:30Speaker 1: balls to beat people with names. They don't want to
- 14:32Speaker 1: beat them straight up. So what do you do when
- 14:35Speaker 1: you put some of these big names in these tournament matches, Well,
- 14:38Speaker 1: you make it a three way or you make it
- 14:40Speaker 1: a four way, so that way you can protect them
- 14:42Speaker 1: because again they have no balls. So in this tournament
- 14:45Speaker 1: we're gonna have a bunch of fatal four way matches.
- 14:47Speaker 1: Let me show you the Queen of the Ring bracket first.
- 14:50Speaker 1: All right, we're gonna start with this. This is the
- 14:53Speaker 1: bracket for the Queen of the Ring tournament. And I
- 14:56Speaker 1: would like to draw your attention if I may, to
- 15:00Speaker 1: the top left corner of your screen. Yes, you are
- 15:04Speaker 1: not seeing things. That is the Women's World Champion, Live Morgan,
- 15:11Speaker 1: who is entered into the Queen of the Ring tournament. Now.
- 15:15Speaker 1: On the post show, Live was there. She didn't have
- 15:18Speaker 1: a match tonight because they haven't done fuck all with
- 15:20Speaker 1: her since WrestleMania, but she was there, and so they
- 15:23Speaker 1: had her go out and explain on the post show
- 15:26Speaker 1: that she wanted to enter herself into the Queen of
- 15:30Speaker 1: the Ring because she wants it all. I want it
- 15:34Speaker 1: all because that's the There's no other way to explain it.
- 15:36Speaker 1: It's the only way you could possibly explain her being
- 15:39Speaker 1: in this tournament. You'll notice she's in the tournament, but
- 15:41Speaker 1: I don't see Rhea Ripley in this tournament. In fact,
- 15:44Speaker 1: if you look at the King of the Ring tournament,
- 15:46Speaker 1: there's no Men's World Champion in there, but there's Live Morgan.
- 15:50Speaker 1: Why the fuck she needed to be in the Queen
- 15:52Speaker 1: of the Ring tournament. I have no idea. Maybe it'll
- 15:55Speaker 1: set up an actual feud for her on the raw
- 15:57Speaker 1: side coming out of this, because she certainly had none
- 16:00Speaker 1: since WrestleMania. With any luck, we'll get Stephanie Vacare back
- 16:03Speaker 1: on TV, so this woman could actually have something to do.
- 16:07Speaker 1: So that was the first weird fucking thing I noticed
- 16:10Speaker 1: here in this bracket. And I got to be honest
- 16:12Speaker 1: with you, when I initially looked at this, I looked
- 16:14Speaker 1: at this the wrong way, and I foolishly I was like, wow,
- 16:16Speaker 1: I go look at all these matches that we have.
- 16:19Speaker 1: I'm looking at this bracket when I first laid eyes
- 16:21Speaker 1: on it, and I thought they were singles match. So
- 16:24Speaker 1: I'm like, wow, Live Morgan against Becky Lynch. And we
- 16:28Speaker 1: have what else we have here? We have Charlotte Flair
- 16:32Speaker 1: against Jade Cargill one on one. My goodness, look at
- 16:35Speaker 1: these matches that we have. And then I realize, ah, fuck,
- 16:38Speaker 1: it's a bunch of fucking four ways. But yes, they
- 16:41Speaker 1: are putting Charlotte Flair and Jade Cargill in the same
- 16:43Speaker 1: four way match, and it's not at all surprise that
- 16:47Speaker 1: these two would be, you know, wrestling coming out of
- 16:50Speaker 1: this show. But what I was not expecting was that
- 16:53Speaker 1: they would be part of the same opening round match,
- 16:56Speaker 1: which means that at least one of them, if not
- 16:58Speaker 1: both of them, are getting batter bounced in the opening
- 17:01Speaker 1: round here. So yes, that's one interesting thing. When you
- 17:05Speaker 1: look at the bracket, We've got Charlotte and Jade in
- 17:08Speaker 1: that match. You look at the other side of the bracket,
- 17:11Speaker 1: we got Eosky and Julia, They're gonna be in the
- 17:13Speaker 1: same match along with Lash legend in Rox, Sane Perez Bailey,
- 17:19Speaker 1: Raquel Rodriguez, j C Jane, Keana James. And then to
- 17:23Speaker 1: go back to the other side, Live Morgan, Becky Lanch,
- 17:26Speaker 1: Alexa Bliss, and Chelsea Green, which means Alexa Bliss and
- 17:30Speaker 1: Charlotte Flair could very well end up in the semi
- 17:33Speaker 1: finals against each other, which is kind of interesting. You know,
- 17:39Speaker 1: I'm looking at this and I'll be able to go
- 17:42Speaker 1: into more detail about this, you know, during the week.
- 17:45Speaker 1: It's I analyze this further, but just taking a cursory
- 17:48Speaker 1: look at what we have here, it just seemed to
- 17:51Speaker 1: me the Summer Slam match on the SmackDown side, Rhea
- 17:55Speaker 1: Ripley against Charlotte Flair is the one that makes sense. Now.
- 17:59Speaker 1: That doesn't mean Charlotte to win Queen of the Ring,
- 18:02Speaker 1: although I would say with the raw women's champion being
- 18:05Speaker 1: in this tournament, probably a better chance of someone from
- 18:08Speaker 1: SmackDown winning. So Charlotte Flair has to be the favorite.
- 18:12Speaker 1: Doesn't mean she has to win it, but I would
- 18:14Speaker 1: say that she's got to be the favorite right now
- 18:16Speaker 1: to win this thing. You can't count out Becky Lynch
- 18:19Speaker 1: because Becky Lynch is no longer the Intercontinental champions. So
- 18:23Speaker 1: you wonder if they took the belt off of her
- 18:25Speaker 1: to move her into a position where she could challenge
- 18:28Speaker 1: for the world title. That's a possibility, I suppose, although honestly,
- 18:35Speaker 1: it would make more sense for Live to drop the
- 18:36Speaker 1: belt back to Stephanie before summer. Slimy do Stephanie and Becky,
- 18:39Speaker 1: and I don't know that I see them doing that.
- 18:42Speaker 1: But to me, it's Charlotte. You got EO and the
- 18:45Speaker 1: other one, and I mentioned her name the other day,
- 18:47Speaker 1: jac Jane. Don't count out jac Jane. She's my dark
- 18:51Speaker 1: horse pick here for this tournament. The other names I'm
- 18:55Speaker 1: looking at here outside of Charlotte Eo and jac I
- 18:58Speaker 1: don't think they have a chance, But this is what
- 19:01Speaker 1: the women's bracket looks like. Now, let's flip over to
- 19:03Speaker 1: the King of the Ring tournament bracket. This one was
- 19:08Speaker 1: even more confusing to me when I initially looked at
- 19:10Speaker 1: it and I thought I was looking at a bunch
- 19:12Speaker 1: of singles matches. I'm like, why the fuck would you
- 19:14Speaker 1: be doing Oba Femi against Penta in the opening round
- 19:18Speaker 1: of this tournament? And then again I realized that we're
- 19:20Speaker 1: looking at a bunch of four ways here. Oba Femi
- 19:24Speaker 1: is in the King of the Ring. But after what
- 19:27Speaker 1: they did tonight, how much worse would it be if
- 19:33Speaker 1: they were not doing a third match with Brock? Think
- 19:36Speaker 1: about that. If Oba is in this tournament and you're
- 19:40Speaker 1: of the opinion that Oba Femi should be winning the
- 19:42Speaker 1: King of the Ring, how the fuck does it make
- 19:45Speaker 1: any sense for him to go in there tonight and
- 19:47Speaker 1: lose to Brock Lesner. You've got to do the third match. Now,
- 19:52Speaker 1: you can't not do the third match, which means Oba's
- 19:55Speaker 1: in here. Obviously, a fatal four way makes it a
- 19:57Speaker 1: little bit easier for him to lose because he's not
- 19:59Speaker 1: being beaten directly, because again, no fucking balls, Not that
- 20:03Speaker 1: I want to see that, but I'm just saying that's
- 20:05Speaker 1: why they do this. But these are the matches Obafemi, Penta,
- 20:09Speaker 1: Solo Socoa and Carmelo Hayes. Then we have Dominic Mysterio
- 20:14Speaker 1: bron Breaker, Trick Williams and Damian Priest. Other side of
- 20:19Speaker 1: the bracket we have seth Rollins, Javan Evans, Talatonga and
- 20:23Speaker 1: Ricky Saints. You can imagine my confusion when I thought
- 20:26Speaker 1: this was singles matches and I saw Ricky Saints against
- 20:29Speaker 1: Tala Tonga, I was like, who put this bracket together?
- 20:34Speaker 1: And then we have jay usso La Knight, Royce Keys
- 20:39Speaker 1: and Finn Balor or shall I say Pinbalor because he's
- 20:44Speaker 1: not winning a damn thing. Honestly, my first thought and
- 20:47Speaker 1: looking at this, I think they may be setting up
- 20:50Speaker 1: for a bron breaker seth Rawlins final. And if that's
- 20:53Speaker 1: what they're setting up for, then we may be looking
- 20:55Speaker 1: at Roman reigns and seth Rawlins at Summer Slim that
- 20:58Speaker 1: may well be your world heavyweight championsh imagine Summer Slim
- 21:01Speaker 1: this year. Seth Rollins against Roman Reigns. That to me,
- 21:05Speaker 1: just looking at this initially here just seems like the
- 21:08Speaker 1: likeliest scenario. I know, all the La Night fans are
- 21:11Speaker 1: not gonna want to hear that, but I mean again,
- 21:13Speaker 1: let's let's just be honest. He's probably not even making
- 21:16Speaker 1: it out of the first round. Okay. It's just it's very,
- 21:20Speaker 1: very unlikely that that's going to happen. But I think
- 21:23Speaker 1: that may be what we're looking at here. I'm just
- 21:26Speaker 1: I'm taking a look at all these names. Trick williams
- 21:29Speaker 1: Ain't going to Summer Slam for the world title, Talatanga,
- 21:33Speaker 1: Ricky Sains, Damian pre jay Usso you can knock so
- 21:37Speaker 1: many of these names right out right off the bat. Dominic, Mysterio, Solo, Socoa,
- 21:42Speaker 1: Oh my god. Okay, so let's go back to what
- 21:44Speaker 1: we saw at the end of the show tonight. Can
- 21:46Speaker 1: you fucking imagine can you fucking imagine them setting up
- 21:52Speaker 1: King Solo to challenge Roman Reigns again at Summer Slam
- 21:58Speaker 1: for the World Heavyweight champion ship. I mean, probably not,
- 22:04Speaker 1: but this is a possibility, now, this is a very
- 22:06Speaker 1: real possibility. Now I don't even want to think about that.
- 22:11Speaker 1: I don't even want to think about that anyway. These
- 22:14Speaker 1: are the brackets, you know, I don't know. There's some
- 22:20Speaker 1: questions with these brackets obviously, and there's the potential. Look,
- 22:24Speaker 1: I mean, there's the potential for some good matches in there. Yeah.
- 22:29Speaker 1: I like King of the Ring. I'm a fan of
- 22:31Speaker 1: King of the Ring. I want them to continue to
- 22:32Speaker 1: do it every year. But I have some questions and
- 22:36Speaker 1: we'll explore some of them as we go along here
- 22:38Speaker 1: and we get into some of these match results. I
- 22:40Speaker 1: want to come back to the Obafemi stuff here in
- 22:42Speaker 1: a little bit, but let's go through this entire thing. Okay,
- 22:44Speaker 1: this is your Clash in Italy twenty twenty six review.

- 24:18Speaker 1: shit bores me to death. I would rather watch Sola
- 24:21Speaker 1: Monster take a ship. Nah. I don't think you would.
- 24:26Speaker 1: I don't think you would. It is it is boring, though,
- 24:31Speaker 1: Thank you Nico Nico Samuel dropping a twenty dollars super chef,
- 24:38Speaker 1: thank you brother, hashtag king solo trending worldwide. Let's not
- 24:44Speaker 1: put let's not put that into the universe. Can we
- 24:49Speaker 1: not do that? Can we not put that into the universe?
- 24:54Speaker 1: So Clash in Italy to that, in case you didn't know,
- 24:57Speaker 1: was brought to you by Scary Movie because that was
- 25:00Speaker 1: the giant logo on the mat and they had a
- 25:02Speaker 1: bunch of previews for Scary Movie. So Scary I think
- 25:05Speaker 1: Scary Movie is what coming out this Friday. I think
- 25:07Speaker 1: right same day as Masters of the Universe. I think
- 25:12Speaker 1: they opened on ESPN with Cody Rhodes defending the WWE
- 25:17Speaker 1: Championship against Gunther And you knew from the opening entrances
- 25:22Speaker 1: here on the show. I haven't mentioned the crowd yet.
- 25:25Speaker 1: You knew from the opening entrances on this show that
- 25:28Speaker 1: this crowd was going to be something special, and they were.
- 25:31Speaker 1: And I'm sure people will be comparing the crowd in
- 25:33Speaker 1: Italy tonight to the crowd in Leon, France for Backlash
- 25:37Speaker 1: a couple of years ago. That was a great crowd,
- 25:40Speaker 1: and this show had a great crowd as well. They
- 25:43Speaker 1: were chanting, they were singing, they were up for everything,
- 25:45Speaker 1: well most everything, most everything on this show. Actually, there
- 25:50Speaker 1: were various points during the main event where they were
- 25:52Speaker 1: actually quiet more so than they were for any other
- 25:55Speaker 1: match on the show, which was kind of surprising, but
- 25:58Speaker 1: then again not really because they were definitely boring stretches
- 26:01Speaker 1: of that main event. Gunther's song has no words, and
- 26:07Speaker 1: somehow the crowd was singing him to the ring. Very impressive.
- 26:13Speaker 1: Cody Roads wore his WrestleMania a skull mask for his entrance,
- 26:16Speaker 1: and they mentioned that these two were also the most
- 26:18Speaker 1: two recent King of the Ring tournament winners. I don't
- 26:21Speaker 1: know if they mentioned the fact that they also had
- 26:23Speaker 1: a magic Crown jewel a couple of years ago, which
- 26:27Speaker 1: Cody won. So some things never change. But yes, Cody
- 26:32Speaker 1: Roads one King of the Ring last year and gun
- 26:34Speaker 1: thro one King of the Ring the year before that.
- 26:36Speaker 1: That is true. So the fans were reacting to basically
- 26:41Speaker 1: everything these guys were doing. Gunter cut off a Cody
- 26:44Speaker 1: Cutter attempt by chopping him down, and he was dominating
- 26:47Speaker 1: the early portion of the match until Cody caught him
- 26:49Speaker 1: with a power slam and that he hit him with
- 26:51Speaker 1: a pedigree for a near fall. Gun through with a
- 26:54Speaker 1: power bomb and a stack for a near fall of
- 26:56Speaker 1: his own. He went for a diving splash off the top.
- 26:59Speaker 1: Cody gout then knees up, followed that with a disaster
- 27:02Speaker 1: kick and then a crossroads, but only for a two count,
- 27:06Speaker 1: So Cody went for another Cody cutter. He got caught though,
- 27:08Speaker 1: in a sleeper hold, and Cody was struggling. He was
- 27:12Speaker 1: trying to get out of it. Gunther got it reapplied,
- 27:15Speaker 1: though when he did get out of it, Cody got
- 27:17Speaker 1: back up to his feet, he fell backwards and he
- 27:19Speaker 1: broke the hold. But again Gunther locked in the sleeper.
- 27:23Speaker 1: This time he got the body scissors applied. Cody looked
- 27:26Speaker 1: a little bit like he might be fading, but he
- 27:28Speaker 1: managed to get his foot on the bottom rope for
- 27:31Speaker 1: the break. So they got up and we had a
- 27:34Speaker 1: chop battle here between these two men. Cody dropped him
- 27:37Speaker 1: with a Cody cutter, then he dropped him with a
- 27:39Speaker 1: hard clothes line, and he hit a second crossroads. Now,
- 27:43Speaker 1: after Gunther landed on the crossroads, you could tell that
- 27:48Speaker 1: something was about to go down here because he had
- 27:50Speaker 1: to position his body a little bit closer to the ropes.
- 27:53Speaker 1: He wasn't quite close enough to the ropes so he
- 27:55Speaker 1: kind of moved his body over a little bit and
- 27:59Speaker 1: I thought a rope break was coming. Yeah, I thought
- 28:01Speaker 1: he was going to put his foot on the bottom
- 28:03Speaker 1: rope or something. Instead, Cody covered him, He hooked the
- 28:07Speaker 1: leg right, He covers him, and he pinned him. Even
- 28:11Speaker 1: though even from the initial camera angle you could kind
- 28:14Speaker 1: of tell Gunther put his right foot under the bottom rope,
- 28:18Speaker 1: his foot was under the rope. Referee didn't see it,
- 28:23Speaker 1: so his foot was under the rope. The referee kept
- 28:25Speaker 1: counting and Gunher was trying to plead his case. When
- 28:30Speaker 1: the match was over and they showed, you know, a
- 28:32Speaker 1: replay of what happened, the foot was indeed under the
- 28:34Speaker 1: bottom rope. But when the referee counted two, Cody pulled back.
- 28:39Speaker 1: He kind of leaned to the left. He pulled back
- 28:41Speaker 1: on Gunther's other leg and it caused Gunph's right leg
- 28:45Speaker 1: to come up, so it was no longer under the rope,
- 28:48Speaker 1: and the referee counted three and that was it, and
- 28:51Speaker 1: just like that, Cody Rhoades retains the WWE Championship. The
- 28:55Speaker 1: referee was having none of what Gunther was selling. Referee's
- 28:59Speaker 1: decision only when they feel like it Obviously, we have
- 29:03Speaker 1: situations where another referee sometimes will come out. That only
- 29:07Speaker 1: happens when they feel like it. Most of the time, though,
- 29:11Speaker 1: the referee's decision is supposed to be final. And that
- 29:13Speaker 1: was it, and Gunther stormed off a very underwhelming finish
- 29:19Speaker 1: to what I thought otherwise was a good match for
- 29:23Speaker 1: the time they got, which was not nearly enough. They
- 29:25Speaker 1: gave these guys eleven minutes. But the WWE Championship match
- 29:29Speaker 1: on this show, they gave these guys eleven minutes. And
- 29:31Speaker 1: this is the problem with being in that opening match
- 29:34Speaker 1: on the ESPN hour. They don't give you as much
- 29:38Speaker 1: time as you would get later in the show. You're
- 29:41Speaker 1: very limited, or you're more limited in the time that
- 29:44Speaker 1: you have when you have two matches, and of course
- 29:46Speaker 1: in between the matches you got fucking twenty five minutes
- 29:48Speaker 1: of fucking ads and entrances, so you only have so
- 29:51Speaker 1: much time in that ESPN hour. These guys got eleven minutes.
- 29:55Speaker 1: And part of it also was okay, this is the
- 29:56Speaker 1: first clearly they're going to run this back again, and
- 29:59Speaker 1: they didn't want to ge too much away, right, I'm
- 30:01Speaker 1: not saying they had to go twenty five minutes eleven
- 30:03Speaker 1: fucking minutes. I mean, you're only gonna get so much
- 30:07Speaker 1: in eleven minutes. I thought for the eleven minutes that
- 30:10Speaker 1: we got it was good, but it was not nearly
- 30:12Speaker 1: enough time as far as the finish is concerned. Look,
- 30:15Speaker 1: if they if they were gonna beat Gunther, there had
- 30:19Speaker 1: to at least be some controversy to it. There was
- 30:22Speaker 1: controversy to it. I just thought the way that it
- 30:24Speaker 1: came off and the way that they did it was
- 30:26Speaker 1: very lame. It was just very lame. Like when I
- 30:30Speaker 1: watched it, it took me a few seconds to process,
- 30:32Speaker 1: like wait what, And then when I realized what they
- 30:35Speaker 1: had done, I was like, that's it. It's fucking lame.
- 30:41Speaker 1: You know. I understand they want to run this back
- 30:43Speaker 1: again at some point, but I don't know. I just
- 30:45Speaker 1: think the way it came off and the way they
- 30:46Speaker 1: chose to do it very very underwhelming, very underwhelming. And
- 30:51Speaker 1: also I guess they wanted to do it this way
- 30:53Speaker 1: instead of having him put his foot on the rope,
- 30:55Speaker 1: because in the very next match they were doing the
- 30:58Speaker 1: rope stuff with Jade and Rhea foot on the rope,
- 31:01Speaker 1: foot not on the rope, foot on the rope. Foot
- 31:03Speaker 1: not on the rope. They did this in back to
- 31:06Speaker 1: back matches, so in this case they had him put
- 31:09Speaker 1: his foot under the rope. I guess just to be
- 31:12Speaker 1: a little bit different. These two work well together. I
- 31:15Speaker 1: don't mind them, you know, running it back again. But
- 31:17Speaker 1: for this show man, this was a groner is what
- 31:22Speaker 1: this was. And I am not a fan of beating Gunther.
- 31:26Speaker 1: I am not a fan of beating him in the
- 31:28Speaker 1: way that they did, and that this is how he
- 31:30Speaker 1: suffers that first loss since he became this you know,
- 31:34Speaker 1: kind of unstoppable force on the roster. He just got
- 31:37Speaker 1: moved over to the SmackDown brand, his first big match
- 31:39Speaker 1: on SmackDown, and they fucking beat him. Controversy or not,
- 31:44Speaker 1: That's not something that I would have done. Obviously they
- 31:47Speaker 1: felt differently. After this, we had a WRESTLEMANI a rematch
- 31:52Speaker 1: with Rhea Ripley defending the WWE Women's Championship against Jade Cargill.
- 31:59Speaker 1: These two got more time than Cody and Gunther did.
- 32:02Speaker 1: But to be fair, this was the blowoff. Whereas the
- 32:05Speaker 1: Cody and Gunther thing that was the first match. Rio
- 32:09Speaker 1: was super old and when is she not super over?
- 32:12Speaker 1: Jade got good heat. Ria was super over. They mentioned
- 32:15Speaker 1: her grandparents were from Italy and then later moved to Australia,
- 32:19Speaker 1: so she has some roots there and Jade was dominant
- 32:23Speaker 1: for the early part of this match. Here she charged
- 32:26Speaker 1: it Rhea in the corner. Rea moved and Jade posted
- 32:29Speaker 1: herself shoulder first. Jay ducked out to the floor. Ripley
- 32:33Speaker 1: followed her with a cannon ball off the apron, which
- 32:36Speaker 1: she had tried earlier in the show didn't work. This
- 32:38Speaker 1: time it did. Back inside, Ripley tried for a razor's edge. Cargil,
- 32:42Speaker 1: though backdropped out of it. Riea then dropped her with
- 32:46Speaker 1: a boot. Both ladies were down and then they both
- 32:49Speaker 1: rose up. We got the ya boo dueling strikes. Ripley
- 32:54Speaker 1: escaped the Jaded attempt, she got off a razor's edge
- 32:57Speaker 1: and then Riha got her up in an electric chair.
- 33:00Speaker 1: What ended up happening, though, is Jade flipped them both
- 33:03Speaker 1: over the top rope Ria, though landed on her feet,
- 33:06Speaker 1: still had Jade on her shoulders, and then dropped her
- 33:08Speaker 1: down face first onto the ring apron. So back inside,
- 33:12Speaker 1: Ripley went for riptide again. Jade escaped. She went for jaded.
- 33:16Speaker 1: This time, Rihea escaped, Jade countered the counter into a
- 33:21Speaker 1: spike DDT for a near fall, and then Jade followed
- 33:24Speaker 1: with a blue thunderbomb for another near fall. Jade went
- 33:28Speaker 1: for something off the top. Riha, though, cut her off
- 33:30Speaker 1: and delivered a backdrop superplex, and she folded this woman's
- 33:34Speaker 1: neck up real good only for a two count though,
- 33:38Speaker 1: And so here comes Meechin and Befab, So now fuckery
- 33:43Speaker 1: is abound. And here they come down to the ring.
- 33:47Speaker 1: Jade connects on a pump kick. Ripley, though, escapes another
- 33:50Speaker 1: Jaded attempt into a roll through, and then she jumps
- 33:54Speaker 1: up and does the double stomp to the chest. Rhea
- 33:57Speaker 1: finally hits riptide and Jade lands close to where the
- 34:02Speaker 1: ropes are, which also happens to be the same side
- 34:06Speaker 1: of the ring where Meechin and BFAB are outside. So
- 34:09Speaker 1: Ria goes to make the cover and BFAB was supposed
- 34:15Speaker 1: to place Jade's foot on the bottom rope right, which
- 34:18Speaker 1: seems like a very simple spot. So she had one
- 34:22Speaker 1: job and she fucked it up because in fact, BFAB
- 34:28Speaker 1: did not place Jade's foot on the bottom rope. She
- 34:31Speaker 1: kind of sort of reached in to do it, and
- 34:33Speaker 1: then realized that her foot was too far away, and
- 34:35Speaker 1: then she kind of panicked and she went to do it.
- 34:37Speaker 1: The referee had to hold up his count, so the
- 34:40Speaker 1: referee stops his count. Jade had presence of mind to
- 34:43Speaker 1: also put her foot on the rope, so they tried
- 34:48Speaker 1: to save the spot. But yeah, this did not look good.
- 34:54Speaker 1: Suffice it to say this did not look good. So
- 34:56Speaker 1: the referee then ejected Meechin and bfab, who turned around
- 35:01Speaker 1: to find Charlotte Flair diving off the barricade, taking both
- 35:05Speaker 1: of them down with a crossbody. That's revenge, I guess
- 35:09Speaker 1: for what Jade did to Alexa Bliss on SmackDown. This week,
- 35:12Speaker 1: Jade finally hit Jaded again near the ropes, and this
- 35:16Speaker 1: time Charlotte took Rhea's foot very easily and placed it
- 35:20Speaker 1: on the bottom rope for the rope break, so she
- 35:24Speaker 1: prevented Jade from regaining the championship. There. Ria then hit
- 35:29Speaker 1: one last riptide and pin Jade to retain outside of
- 35:32Speaker 1: that unfortunate botch there towards the end, which wasn't their fault.
- 35:37Speaker 1: This is very good. I would even go as far
- 35:40Speaker 1: as to say this is the best Jade Cargill match
- 35:43Speaker 1: in her WWE run, And this is the best Jade
- 35:45Speaker 1: Cargill match probably that she's had in her entire career.
- 35:49Speaker 1: Her and Ria, they just they have a certain chemistry
- 35:51Speaker 1: where they work well together. Part of it is Riha.
- 35:54Speaker 1: But you can't just say it's all Ria because again,
- 35:56Speaker 1: like you're in there with another person, right, You've got
- 35:59Speaker 1: a dance part. You've got to be able to do
- 36:02Speaker 1: the dances, you know what I mean. Like, you can't
- 36:04Speaker 1: just say, well, you do all the work, because I
- 36:06Speaker 1: know some people are going to look at this and go, well,
- 36:08Speaker 1: you know, it's all Ria. That's why it was so good.
- 36:10Speaker 1: Like no, it's because Aria and Jade and they work
- 36:12Speaker 1: well together. They had a good match at WrestleMania. This
- 36:14Speaker 1: one was very good. This one was better than their
- 36:15Speaker 1: WrestleMania match. So you got to give credit where credit
- 36:19Speaker 1: is due. So the best match that Jade has had
- 36:21Speaker 1: in the cut. Now you could say that it's still
- 36:23Speaker 1: below you know, some of the elite women in the company,
- 36:26Speaker 1: But who gives a shit in this match? I thought
- 36:29Speaker 1: they had a very good one. Now, I will point
- 36:33Speaker 1: out that they got seventeen minutes. They gave these two women.
- 36:38Speaker 1: Stead they gave them six minutes more than Cody and
- 36:40Speaker 1: Gunther had okay for their match, so it probably was
- 36:45Speaker 1: Jade's longest singles match of her career. I don't remember
- 36:48Speaker 1: her having a singles match fucking seventeen minutes long, right,
- 36:52Speaker 1: find me one like that. Jade attacked Charlotte backstage after.
- 36:59Speaker 1: I think they showed that on the post show. And
- 37:01Speaker 1: again they're part I'll put the bracket have one more
- 37:04Speaker 1: time here. They're part of the same opening fatal four
- 37:08Speaker 1: way match here in the Queen of the Ring tournament.
- 37:11Speaker 1: I was actually thinking, you know, before I saw this bracket,
- 37:14Speaker 1: I was thinking that they were actually preparing for Charlotte
- 37:17Speaker 1: and Jade in the finals. Which, yeah, maybe some people
- 37:21Speaker 1: wouldn't want Jade to go all the way to the finals,
- 37:23Speaker 1: but it would have made sense, right, would have made
- 37:26Speaker 1: sense for the two of them to both be competing
- 37:28Speaker 1: for a title shot. But they've been beefing, and so
- 37:31Speaker 1: you know, it all culminates at Night of Champions. But instead,
- 37:34Speaker 1: again at least one of them, if not both of them,
- 37:37Speaker 1: are getting bounced out of the opening round here, So
- 37:42Speaker 1: we'll see how that plays out. I don't know when
- 37:44Speaker 1: these matches, by the way, are taking place. I don't
- 37:46Speaker 1: know if they've announced which tournament matches are happening when
- 37:50Speaker 1: I just know the tournament or tournaments are kicking off
- 37:54Speaker 1: this week. Then we had, yeah, another wrestle MANI a rematch.
- 38:04Speaker 1: You know, this was more backlash than backlash, brock Lesner
- 38:08Speaker 1: one on one with Oba Femi. The fans sang Lesner
- 38:13Speaker 1: to the ring, and again his song has no lyrics,
- 38:16Speaker 1: but they sang him to the ring. I don't know
- 38:18Speaker 1: that I've ever heard brock Lesnar being sung down to
- 38:21Speaker 1: the ring before. They were even louder barking for Oba.
- 38:26Speaker 1: I like how the announcer they just laid out and
- 38:29Speaker 1: they just let the crowd reaction speak for itself. These
- 38:31Speaker 1: people were going nuts. He got a superstar reaction coming
- 38:34Speaker 1: down to the ring. So we got the big title
- 38:37Speaker 1: match intros even though there was no title on the
- 38:39Speaker 1: line here. I don't even think they gave that to
- 38:41Speaker 1: the main event now that I think about it, right,
- 38:45Speaker 1: I don't think they did the traditional in ring title
- 38:47Speaker 1: match intros for Roman and Jacob as far as I
- 38:49Speaker 1: can remember, but they did it here for Brock and Oba.
- 38:53Speaker 1: So Lesner rushed Oba in the corner before the bell
- 38:57Speaker 1: even rang, so just right out of the gate, were
- 38:59Speaker 1: off to the races. Here hot start to this. Brock's
- 39:03Speaker 1: trying to put this to bed early. He remembers what
- 39:05Speaker 1: happened to WrestleMania. Immediately he hoists Oba up onto his
- 39:10Speaker 1: shoulders f five, then another one, then a third one,
- 39:16Speaker 1: and then a fourth one. And this is all in
- 39:19Speaker 1: the opening thirty seconds of the match. Four f fives,
- 39:23Speaker 1: which is what he put him down with on Raw
- 39:24Speaker 1: a few weeks ago. And he covered Oba, and Oba
- 39:27Speaker 1: kicked out. And I'm sure there were people watching this
- 39:29Speaker 1: who had a freaking heart attack watching this, thinking they're
- 39:32Speaker 1: tell me they're not going to do this. Can you
- 39:34Speaker 1: can you imagine? Yeah? The sad thing is I can,
- 39:38Speaker 1: But I was gonna say, can you imagine the uproar
- 39:41Speaker 1: if in the first thirty seconds of this match, four
- 39:45Speaker 1: f fives and he pins Oba Femi? Remember that sign
- 39:49Speaker 1: from one night's stand of Sino wins we riots? Have
- 39:52Speaker 1: you ever seen an online riot before? You would have? Oh,
- 39:58Speaker 1: you would have if that would have happened. So Oba
- 40:01Speaker 1: he struggled to his feet, and Brock he leapt up.
- 40:05Speaker 1: He jumped up and he locked down the Kimora lock
- 40:08Speaker 1: and he takes Oba down to the mat with it.
- 40:11Speaker 1: He's gonna break this fucking guy's arm. Then, Oba, though,
- 40:14Speaker 1: with one arm, he powers Brock up to his feet.
- 40:17Speaker 1: He slams him down, he breaks the hold. Brock, though,
- 40:20Speaker 1: got the hold and reapplied. Oba forced him backwards into
- 40:23Speaker 1: the corner to break it again. So Oba went for
- 40:26Speaker 1: a choke slam. Brock, though, he fights out of it,
- 40:29Speaker 1: and he fights out of it into a fifth F
- 40:31Speaker 1: five and he covers him and Oba kicks out again,
- 40:36Speaker 1: and we got another F five at ten, but this
- 40:39Speaker 1: time Oba slipped out. He went for a choke slam
- 40:41Speaker 1: with his one good arm, and unfortunately Brock jumped a
- 40:45Speaker 1: little too soon, so it didn't look great. But he
- 40:49Speaker 1: still kind of sort of got a choke slam, just
- 40:51Speaker 1: not a great one, didn't get the full impact on it,
- 40:54Speaker 1: and he covered him anyway, and Brock kicked out, so
- 40:57Speaker 1: Oba clothesline Brock out of the ring. He took himself
- 40:59Speaker 1: out over the top rope because of all the momentum.
- 41:02Speaker 1: The momentum took him over to the floor as well.
- 41:04Speaker 1: Oba's pissed and he rips off the lid of the
- 41:08Speaker 1: Italian announced desk. Brock sends him into the ring post.
- 41:12Speaker 1: They'll face first, so Brock locks the Kamora lock on again.
- 41:15Speaker 1: Oba smashes him backwards into the post to break the hold.
- 41:18Speaker 1: Oba was going to choke slam him through the table.
- 41:21Speaker 1: Brock slipped out. He picked him up. He delivered an
- 41:24Speaker 1: F five through the announced desk. That is number six, F five,
- 41:29Speaker 1: number six. So Lesner gets back into the ring and
- 41:32Speaker 1: he's celebrating what he thinks is going to be a
- 41:34Speaker 1: count out win, right. He'll take it anyway he can
- 41:36Speaker 1: get it, and he's instructing the referee to begin his count.
- 41:39Speaker 1: Chad Patten lays the count on. Referee gets up to
- 41:42Speaker 1: six and Oba there's no struggling to his feet. He
- 41:45Speaker 1: just pops back up to his feet and he slides
- 41:48Speaker 1: back into the ring. Brock has this look on his
- 41:51Speaker 1: face like he's all shocked. Oba charges in with a
- 41:54Speaker 1: running upper cut, a second running upper cut, a third
- 41:57Speaker 1: running upper cut. He lifts up like he does with
- 42:01Speaker 1: all of his other opponents, and he just flings him
- 42:03Speaker 1: across the ring. Fucking beals him halfway across the ring,
- 42:07Speaker 1: and then he popped Lesner up onto his shoulders in
- 42:10Speaker 1: a power bomb position. He is going for the fall
- 42:13Speaker 1: from grace and as he goes to lift up Brock
- 42:16Speaker 1: to finish the move, Brock slips out. He lands on
- 42:19Speaker 1: his feet and he hoists up Oba again for a
- 42:23Speaker 1: seventh F five hooks the leg and he pins Oba
- 42:30Speaker 1: Femi six minutes a little over six minutes or so
- 42:33Speaker 1: into this match, so they did go longer than WrestleMania,
- 42:37Speaker 1: but again not by much. The six minutes that we
- 42:40Speaker 1: got here, though, I think was excellent. After the match
- 42:43Speaker 1: is over, Brock is outside the ring. He's staring down Oba,
- 42:46Speaker 1: who's on the mat holding his arm. He's selling, and
- 42:50Speaker 1: Brock looks at him and he says, is what he said?
- 42:53Speaker 1: He goes one plus one. You're done, bitch. I just
- 43:00Speaker 1: thought to myself, Well, they don't pay him to do math.
- 43:05Speaker 1: They don't pay him to do math. What can I say? Look,
- 43:09Speaker 1: this was NonStop action. I'll talk about the good stuff.
- 43:12Speaker 1: This was NonStop action from start to finish. And they
- 43:15Speaker 1: topped the F five count on Roman reigns from WrestleMania
- 43:19Speaker 1: thirty four. If you remember that terrible fucking main event,
- 43:22Speaker 1: I do. I remember, and I was there when they
- 43:25Speaker 1: wrestled to WrestleMania thirty four, it took six f fives
- 43:30Speaker 1: in a shitty match for Brock to beat Roman. This
- 43:33Speaker 1: was not shitty, but he topped the WrestleMania total. So
- 43:37Speaker 1: it took seven to put down Oba Femi here, this
- 43:41Speaker 1: was an excellent match. They knew that they were beating Oba,
- 43:45Speaker 1: and so they said, well, if we're gonna beat this guy,
- 43:48Speaker 1: what can we do to try to keep him looking strong.
- 43:51Speaker 1: I know, we'll just do what We'll spam Brocks finish
- 43:54Speaker 1: her over and over again. He'll keep kicking out after
- 43:58Speaker 1: the seventh one right, that'll be one two many, and
- 44:01Speaker 1: the Camorra Locke, he'll fight out of the Camora lock
- 44:03Speaker 1: three or four times. So they did a whole bunch
- 44:05Speaker 1: of stuff to try to keep you know, Oba looking strong.
- 44:07Speaker 1: And they wanted him to still come out of this
- 44:09Speaker 1: looking like a world beater, except by doing the one
- 44:11Speaker 1: thing that really would have made him look like a
- 44:13Speaker 1: world beater, which is, you know, not beating him. But
- 44:16Speaker 1: if they were going to beat him, at least they
- 44:18Speaker 1: tried to protect him. I maintain what I said coming
- 44:21Speaker 1: into this show. As much as I like the match,
- 44:25Speaker 1: I thought the match again was very good. I don't
- 44:27Speaker 1: think Obafemi should have lost this match. I don't think
- 44:29Speaker 1: Olba Femi had to lose this match. I don't think
- 44:31Speaker 1: Obafemi should have lost this match, and you would have
- 44:34Speaker 1: made more of a statement and I think shocked more people,
- 44:37Speaker 1: frankly by having Broco in there and lose again, because
- 44:41Speaker 1: most people coming into this probably expected that Brock was
- 44:44Speaker 1: going to get his win back, and so that's exactly
- 44:46Speaker 1: what they did. They followed the formula, They followed the
- 44:48Speaker 1: typical blueprint. They want to get to a third match, well,
- 44:52Speaker 1: you gotta have one guy win, you gotta have the
- 44:53Speaker 1: other guy win. And I just think there was a
- 44:56Speaker 1: story there to tell where you know, you didn't have
- 44:58Speaker 1: to do that, and look in the end, Oba is
- 45:01Speaker 1: gonna be fine. We'll get the third one at SummerSlam,
- 45:04Speaker 1: probably with a stipulation, you know, whether whether Brock puts
- 45:07Speaker 1: his career on the line this time or not. And again,
- 45:10Speaker 1: most people won't believe it anyway, because they just I mean,
- 45:13Speaker 1: they just screwed you over a few weeks ago. If
- 45:15Speaker 1: you were one of those people that bought into the
- 45:17Speaker 1: idea that Brock really was retired, they just basically said
- 45:19Speaker 1: fuck you. So for them to turn around and say, well,
- 45:23Speaker 1: this time we really mean it, it's like, yeah, fuck off.
- 45:26Speaker 1: But you can add another stipulation, like, you know, last
- 45:28Speaker 1: man standing. Brock had a great last man standing match
- 45:31Speaker 1: at SummerSlam a few years ago at Roman Reigns right,
- 45:33Speaker 1: so I would anticipate there being some sort of of
- 45:39Speaker 1: stipulation when they have their third match, except you got
- 45:44Speaker 1: to leave open the possibility that maybe there won't be
- 45:47Speaker 1: a third match at Summer Slam because Oba Femi is
- 45:49Speaker 1: in the King of the Ring tournament. Now, Obafemi being
- 45:53Speaker 1: in the King of the Ring tournament in a four
- 45:55Speaker 1: way match means that he can lose without really losing.
- 46:00Speaker 1: Somebody else could take the losing fall instead of Oba.
- 46:05Speaker 1: I'm sure people are going to look at this and go, well,
- 46:07Speaker 1: you could always have Brock Lesner interfere. He could fuck
- 46:13Speaker 1: Oba Femi over, he could cost him his opening round
- 46:16Speaker 1: match and the King of the Ring tournament. Boy, that
- 46:18Speaker 1: would put some real heat on that match. Except one thing.
- 46:22Speaker 1: There's one flawed little thing I have to point out
- 46:26Speaker 1: with that, which is that if that's the case, and
- 46:29Speaker 1: if we see Brockolesner involve himself in Oba Femi's opening
- 46:32Speaker 1: round match in the King of the Ring tournament. Would
- 46:35Speaker 1: it not have made more sense than to have Oba
- 46:37Speaker 1: win here to give Brock the incentive to want to
- 46:42Speaker 1: do something, to really stick it to this guy. Just
- 46:46Speaker 1: just picture it. Picture Brockolesner losing again tonight, and now
- 46:51Speaker 1: he is just beside himself because he cannot believe that
- 46:56Speaker 1: he lost again to this man. Leave it, it's never
- 47:02Speaker 1: been done. Now he doesn't know what to do. The
- 47:05Speaker 1: whole reason he came back is because he said, I
- 47:07Speaker 1: can't go out like that. I cannot allow myself to
- 47:10Speaker 1: go out like that. Now he just lost for a
- 47:12Speaker 1: second time. What the fuck am I gonna do? I
- 47:14Speaker 1: know this guy thinks he's gonna be challenging for the
- 47:16Speaker 1: World Heavyweight Championship at Summerslim and by the way, so
- 47:19Speaker 1: does everybody else. I know. I'll get involved and I'll
- 47:22Speaker 1: fuck him over. That'll teach him, and then he'll really
- 47:25Speaker 1: have a reason to want to get his hands on me.
- 47:27Speaker 1: And Obafemi will be I mean, he'll be a man
- 47:29Speaker 1: possessed coming out of that match. Man, he will want
- 47:31Speaker 1: to kill Brock. By the way, he said he was
- 47:34Speaker 1: coming to Italy to kill Brock. He failed, he didn't
- 47:36Speaker 1: do that. But see, but that's my thing. If that
- 47:40Speaker 1: ends up happening, I'm gonna look back at this and
- 47:42Speaker 1: go see, see it would make It would have made
- 47:46Speaker 1: more sense than for Oba to win. Now, we don't know.
- 47:49Speaker 1: Maybe Brock is not gonna get involved, it is can't
- 47:51Speaker 1: get the ring match. Maybe OPA's gonna win the opening
- 47:53Speaker 1: round match and he'll get fucked out of it in
- 47:55Speaker 1: the semi finals or the finals. I you know, I
- 47:57Speaker 1: don't know, but I'm just saying if that, if that
- 48:00Speaker 1: that is what they end up doing, I'm just gonna
- 48:02Speaker 1: look back. I want you all to look back at this,
- 48:04Speaker 1: and we're gonna fucking laugh. We're just gonna laugh because
- 48:09Speaker 1: it just would have made so much more sense to
- 48:11Speaker 1: have a different outcome here in this match, if that's
- 48:13Speaker 1: the case. But Oba, here in this match, he got
- 48:16Speaker 1: tossed around for like seventy five percent of it. The
- 48:19Speaker 1: guy is so over right now that one loss is
- 48:23Speaker 1: not gonna sour him, you know, on the audience. It's
- 48:26Speaker 1: not like he's buried or anything like that. But honestly,
- 48:30Speaker 1: a lot of what happens from here on out is
- 48:31Speaker 1: going to depend on what they do with him coming
- 48:33Speaker 1: out of this show. I said, like he told Paul
- 48:36Speaker 1: Hayman our role last week at WrestleMania, I wanted to
- 48:39Speaker 1: beat Brock. Now I have to kill Brock and he
- 48:42Speaker 1: didn't do that. Now we get to find out, like
- 48:45Speaker 1: what this guy is really made of. He's lost, he's
- 48:49Speaker 1: been embarrassed. How does he respond to that, because he
- 48:54Speaker 1: certainly shouldn't be strutting out to the ring on Raw tomorrow.
- 48:57Speaker 1: I don't want to see him strut if he comes out,
- 49:00Speaker 1: if he wrestles on Raw tomorrow night, he'd better not
- 49:02Speaker 1: be strutting on his way down to the ring. He
- 49:05Speaker 1: should be mad coming out of this because he said
- 49:09Speaker 1: he was going to go in there and he was
- 49:10Speaker 1: going to kill him, and he failed and he didn't
- 49:12Speaker 1: do it. So let's see how he responds to that.
- 49:14Speaker 1: That's gonna be the key question now coming out of
- 49:16Speaker 1: this match. That they show a bron Breaker and Austin
- 49:22Speaker 1: Thory sitting in the crowd with their Raw tag team titles.
- 49:27Speaker 1: They showed Julia sitting in the crowd. She got a
- 49:31Speaker 1: nice reaction. She waved, Hi, Hi, everybody wish I were wrestling,
- 49:38Speaker 1: But at least, I'm happy to be here. They have
- 49:42Speaker 1: to at least give her a match on Friday, SmackDown
- 49:44Speaker 1: is in Italy. Can we find something for this woman
- 49:47Speaker 1: to do in the ring place? Can we put her
- 49:50Speaker 1: in there with somebody, doesn't matter who, Just get her
- 49:54Speaker 1: a match. She actually is in one of the opening
- 49:57Speaker 1: round Queen of the Ring matches. Maybe they'll have her
- 49:58Speaker 1: Queen of the Ring match on smack Down this week.
- 50:02Speaker 1: But then she would be nice if she won. But
- 50:04Speaker 1: I think her and EO Sky are in the same match.
- 50:07Speaker 1: You give me the choice. EO's got to go over there.
- 50:10Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I'm sorry to Julia, but I can't vote
- 50:15Speaker 1: against EO. And they showed the director of Authority for
- 50:20Speaker 1: TNA Wrestling, Yes, Santino Morella. They flew him all the
- 50:23Speaker 1: way to make a quick cameo in Italy, which is
- 50:27Speaker 1: where he won his first match. Actually on Raw he
- 50:30Speaker 1: won the Intercontinental title. I think they were in Milan
- 50:34Speaker 1: now they were in turn. Then they aired a recap
- 50:39Speaker 1: of the Mask versus Mask match at the Triple A
- 50:43Speaker 1: show last night, which was tremendous. I tweeted about it
- 50:46Speaker 1: last night during the show, I'm going to save my
- 50:51Speaker 1: full thoughts on the map. I have a lot to
- 50:53Speaker 1: say about this match, and I'm gonna save my thoughts
- 50:58Speaker 1: on that for the Uncrowned Wrestling show on Tuesday. I
- 51:00Speaker 1: think I'm gonna open the show with it right off
- 51:02Speaker 1: the top. We're gonna get into the Triple A show
- 51:05Speaker 1: in the Triple A main event, and so I'll save
- 51:08Speaker 1: my full thoughts and review for that, So you'll definitely
- 51:11Speaker 1: want to tune in for that. That'll be on Tuesday.
- 51:14Speaker 1: We have Becky Lynch against Soul Ruka for the Women's
- 51:18Speaker 1: Intercontinental Championship. You know, you would think at this point
- 51:24Speaker 1: that management they wouldn't put Jessica Carr in these matches
- 51:29Speaker 1: with Becky Lynch, Right, there's always something that happens, something
- 51:32Speaker 1: that goes wrong, there's some sort of controversy, something always happens,
- 51:38Speaker 1: and yet she's always the referee, which makes me think
- 51:43Speaker 1: that maybe Becky is not wrong and maybe there really
- 51:45Speaker 1: is some sort of conspiracy here against her. So Ruka,
- 51:49Speaker 1: who's had a rough month, right, she botched the Soul
- 51:52Speaker 1: Snatcher and she's zero for two, and she won her
- 51:55Speaker 1: first match, but it was some lame dq finish. She
- 51:57Speaker 1: hasn't had a great month, so they needed this or
- 52:01Speaker 1: she needed this right, They needed this for her. She
- 52:04Speaker 1: had to go in there tonight and have a great
- 52:05Speaker 1: match and come out with a w Seul tried to
- 52:09Speaker 1: springboard off the ropes early on. Becky, though tripped her up,
- 52:13Speaker 1: so Becky went up top. This was actually the funniest
- 52:15Speaker 1: part of the entire match, because Soul's down on the
- 52:19Speaker 1: mat and the camera pulls away from her and they
- 52:21Speaker 1: show Becky on top, and Becky starts screaming, other way,
- 52:25Speaker 1: other way. She's four times she said this other way,
- 52:28Speaker 1: other way, other way, other way. I guess Soul was
- 52:34Speaker 1: not laying in the right position, and once she was
- 52:37Speaker 1: in the correct position, Becky did her top rope leg drop.
- 52:42Speaker 1: Soul went for a soul snatcher not long after this,
- 52:44Speaker 1: but as she came down, she landed right into an
- 52:47Speaker 1: arm bar by Becky that looked good. Becky caught her.
- 52:52Speaker 1: Ruka countered out into a cross face, Becky escaped, Lynch
- 52:56Speaker 1: took Ruka up top. Soul though hit Becky with a
- 52:59Speaker 1: top broke diving X factor. Ruca went back up top
- 53:04Speaker 1: and at that point Becky shoved the referee into the ropes,
- 53:07Speaker 1: which caused Soul to lose her balance and she fell
- 53:10Speaker 1: and she crotched herself. So Becky landed a super plex.
- 53:14Speaker 1: She went for a DDT Soul though was able to
- 53:16Speaker 1: avoid it. Becky rolled out to the floor. And so
- 53:23Speaker 1: after Becky's on the floor, Soul is going to do
- 53:26Speaker 1: a dive out of the ring. And so she pulled
- 53:29Speaker 1: out the old tiger mask special here the space flying
- 53:33Speaker 1: Tiger drop. But she actually landed a little bit short,
- 53:38Speaker 1: and so she didn't really hit Becky all that much.
- 53:41Speaker 1: Becky sold it anyway. She went down Ruca, though she
- 53:46Speaker 1: springboarded back into the ring once Becky was back inside.
- 53:50Speaker 1: So here comes Soul. She springboards in but right into
- 53:54Speaker 1: a manhandle slam and only got a near fall out
- 53:57Speaker 1: of it. Then it was Becky teasing a soul snatcher.
- 54:00Speaker 1: And I will tell you that I would pay good
- 54:02Speaker 1: money to see Becky Lynch hit a picture perfect soul snatcher.
- 54:06Speaker 1: I don't know how much, probably maybe not more than
- 54:08Speaker 1: like ten or eleven dollars, but I would pay. I
- 54:12Speaker 1: would pay to see Becky Lynch try to hit a
- 54:14Speaker 1: soul snatcher, just flush. That would be something. Ruka the
- 54:20Speaker 1: caught her with a man handle slam of her own,
- 54:23Speaker 1: only for a two count. Becky went for another man
- 54:26Speaker 1: handle slam Soul, though jumped onto the middle rope. She
- 54:29Speaker 1: hit the soul snatcher perfect covered her, got the win
- 54:34Speaker 1: and snags her first championship here on the main roster.
- 54:39Speaker 1: So Becky Lynch is not only now the longest raining
- 54:44Speaker 1: women's Intercontinental champion of all time, she is now officially
- 54:48Speaker 1: the shortest raining women's intercontinental champion of all time. Congratulations,
- 54:54Speaker 1: she now owns both records. I'm just glad that Soul
- 54:59Speaker 1: hit the soul snat at her perfectly this time. I
- 55:01Speaker 1: was starting to really feel bad for her because there
- 55:04Speaker 1: were a couple of times where even in their last match,
- 55:07Speaker 1: you know, things didn't go quite the way they wanted
- 55:10Speaker 1: it to go. It didn't look good. So I was
- 55:12Speaker 1: happy that she hit it perfectly here and they had
- 55:15Speaker 1: a very good match and Soul look, I would not
- 55:19Speaker 1: have put the belt on her now. I think it's
- 55:21Speaker 1: too early. I think you build to it a few
- 55:24Speaker 1: more months. Right, wouldn't have killed you. But they had
- 55:27Speaker 1: no choice. Everything they did up to this point, it
- 55:30Speaker 1: didn't make Soul look very good. And you have Becky
- 55:32Speaker 1: on television mocking her and making fun of her for
- 55:34Speaker 1: being winless. Oh, you should go back down to NXT.
- 55:37Speaker 1: You imagine if this girl went in there and lost again,
- 55:40Speaker 1: like what a fucking loser, she would look like she
- 55:43Speaker 1: had to win. They had no choice, They had no
- 55:45Speaker 1: choice but to put the championship on her here, and
- 55:49Speaker 1: the crowd in turn went crazy for it, and they
- 55:51Speaker 1: reacted big to it, and so it was a nice
- 55:53Speaker 1: moment for her to have. But yeah, if she would
- 55:55Speaker 1: have lost this match, hmmm, that would have looked bad.
- 56:00Speaker 1: So Ruka gets in the win column and now I
- 56:03Speaker 1: guess we wait to see if they run it back
- 56:05Speaker 1: one more time, which I really don't think is needed.
- 56:09Speaker 1: I'll tell you what we need. There's a lot of
- 56:12Speaker 1: things we need. Okay, we need a proper rival for
- 56:16Speaker 1: the women's World champion on Monday Night Raw is what
- 56:19Speaker 1: we need. But what we also need is some sort
- 56:23Speaker 1: of payoff between Becky Lynch and Jessica Carr. I don't
- 56:27Speaker 1: see how we don't end up getting a match between
- 56:29Speaker 1: these two. But how much longer are they going to
- 56:31Speaker 1: drag this out for? How many matches? Now? Is this? Okay?
- 56:35Speaker 1: More than the number of fingers I have on this hand.
- 56:37Speaker 1: It has to be maybe two where there's been some
- 56:41Speaker 1: sort of issue in a Becky Lynch match because Jessica
- 56:43Speaker 1: Carr has been the referee. Jessica Carr either oh, she
- 56:46Speaker 1: cheated or she screwed me, or Jessica Carr took a bump.
- 56:50Speaker 1: How many fucking times have we seen this goes back
- 56:52Speaker 1: to last year? At what point do we get a
- 56:54Speaker 1: payoff between these two? Just put them in the ring
- 56:57Speaker 1: and have a match, Like, we have to be getting
- 57:01Speaker 1: this match soon. How many more times are we going
- 57:03Speaker 1: to get this again? They like, this is one of
- 57:07Speaker 1: the problems right now with WWE. There are certain things
- 57:10Speaker 1: they do and they keep doing it, and they do
- 57:12Speaker 1: it and they do it and they do it and
- 57:13Speaker 1: they do it until you're fucking blue in the face,
- 57:15Speaker 1: and it's like, why are we still doing this? When
- 57:18Speaker 1: are we going to get past this? When are we
- 57:20Speaker 1: going to pay this off? So hopefully that'll happen soon.
- 57:25Speaker 1: We don't need to see Becky Lynch in soul ruke again.
- 57:28Speaker 1: We need to see Becky Lynch against Jessica Carr so
- 57:30Speaker 1: they could get it all out of their system and
- 57:31Speaker 1: we can move on from here. The main event was
- 57:39Speaker 1: tribal combat. John says, I have not seen her wrestle.
- 57:44Speaker 1: Is she any good? I think I vaguely remember seeing
- 57:47Speaker 1: her wrestle. Yeah, I mean she's a good wrestler. Again,
- 57:51Speaker 1: one of the evolved tapings not that long ago, she
- 57:53Speaker 1: wrestled under a mask. I forgot what her name was,
- 58:00Speaker 1: but yeah, Jessica. As many referees are or have been,
- 58:06Speaker 1: Jessica's a trained wrestler, so to do one match, she
- 58:10Speaker 1: could totally do it. But the main event was Remember
- 58:14Speaker 1: they were gonna I guess they weren't going to, but
- 58:18Speaker 1: I think Thunderosa many years ago reached out to them
- 58:20Speaker 1: about potentially coming into referee. He had a lot of
- 58:24Speaker 1: referees who either were wrestlers or they at least have
- 58:27Speaker 1: gone through the training to be a wrestler. It's not
- 58:29Speaker 1: like they don't know what they're doing in there. The
- 58:32Speaker 1: main event was tribal combat for the World Heavyweight Championship.
- 58:36Speaker 1: Roman Reigns defending against Jacob Fatu. The only way to
- 58:41Speaker 1: win is by pinfall or submission only, and he appears, Wow, hey, Barry,
- 58:51Speaker 1: what's going on? The only way to win in tribal
- 58:55Speaker 1: combat pinfall or submission. If fau wins the time Roman
- 59:01Speaker 1: reigns will surrender the Ula falla ooh. But if Roman retains,
- 59:06Speaker 1: Fatu will have to serve him as his tribal chief,
- 59:10Speaker 1: whatever the hell that means. Now. Fatu hurt himself the
- 59:13Speaker 1: other night in Liverpool, and there was some question about
- 59:16Speaker 1: it was a back injury, and there was some question
- 59:19Speaker 1: about whether or not he'd be ready to go. And
- 59:20Speaker 1: I said it the other day, like you'd have to
- 59:23Speaker 1: kill this man, Like this man would have to be
- 59:24Speaker 1: incapable of standing up on his own two feet. It
- 59:28Speaker 1: would like it would have to be like the worst
- 59:30Speaker 1: case of sciatica pain that you could possibly imagine for
- 59:33Speaker 1: this man not to be in that ring for this match.
- 59:37Speaker 1: But evidently, and I think it was a false finish,
- 59:40Speaker 1: HQ that reported that one of the ideas discussed as
- 59:43Speaker 1: a potential pivot if Fatu was not able to go
- 59:46Speaker 1: in this match was to put Drew McIntyre in there.
- 59:50Speaker 1: Thankfully though it didn't come to that, and so they
- 59:53Speaker 1: didn't have to do that. Not much of a reaction
- 59:56Speaker 1: for Fatu coming out, but they were singing to Roman
- 59:59Speaker 1: Reign from the moment his music hit and the moment
- 1:00:03Speaker 1: he came out to the ring and he's got some
- 1:00:06Speaker 1: Italian roots himself, his mom. His mom is Italian Italian American.
- 1:00:14Speaker 1: After some we got some graps to start things off
- 1:00:17Speaker 1: here in tribal combat. After that, they ended up in
- 1:00:21Speaker 1: the crowd and they had a like a concession stand,
- 1:00:26Speaker 1: just like a random concession stand, and there were no
- 1:00:28Speaker 1: fans there, but it's in the in the crowd on
- 1:00:30Speaker 1: the lower level, and Roman started tossing free bags of
- 1:00:35Speaker 1: candy out to the crowd, trying to buy crowd support
- 1:00:39Speaker 1: by tossing candies to the fans. So they fought back
- 1:00:42Speaker 1: down to ringside. They were chanting tables. Roman pulled one
- 1:00:45Speaker 1: out and fought to cut him off. Roman made a
- 1:00:49Speaker 1: quick comeback though he slid the slim gym table into
- 1:00:52Speaker 1: the ring, but he was taking his sweet ass time
- 1:00:56Speaker 1: in doing so. That allowed Fat too. I was wondering,
- 1:00:58Speaker 1: what's he taken so long for? He literally just like
- 1:01:02Speaker 1: slid the table in and it was like right in
- 1:01:04Speaker 1: the corner still and he's just standing there. I'm like,
- 1:01:07Speaker 1: what is he What's he waiting for? And so evidently
- 1:01:10Speaker 1: what he was waiting for was for fought two to
- 1:01:13Speaker 1: send him into the ring. Steps, which Fought to then
- 1:01:16Speaker 1: placed inside the ring. Crowd got real quiet here. I
- 1:01:20Speaker 1: mean again, this was a hot crowd for pretty much
- 1:01:22Speaker 1: the entire night, and this was the first of several
- 1:01:26Speaker 1: points during this match where they got very very quiet
- 1:01:29Speaker 1: and things were moving very very slow, very sluggish. I
- 1:01:33Speaker 1: don't know. Maybe part of it had to do with
- 1:01:34Speaker 1: the fact that Jacob really was hurt and he was
- 1:01:36Speaker 1: kind of pacing himself, or it could just be that,
- 1:01:38Speaker 1: you know, it's they knew they were going a certain
- 1:01:41Speaker 1: amount of time and so they were just slowing things down.
- 1:01:43Speaker 1: But it got kind of boring here. Roman in the ring,
- 1:01:46Speaker 1: he picked up the steps and he tossed them outside.
- 1:01:48Speaker 1: He hit Fought two right in the head with them.
- 1:01:51Speaker 1: Then Roman delivered a drive by knock Fought Two backwards
- 1:01:54Speaker 1: into the ring. Post back inside, Roman set up for
- 1:01:58Speaker 1: a Superman punch. Jacob ducked it. He went to work
- 1:02:02Speaker 1: on him running hip attack in the corner, and he
- 1:02:04Speaker 1: popped Roman up. I guess he was going for the
- 1:02:07Speaker 1: Samoan drop, but on the way down Roman caught him
- 1:02:10Speaker 1: with a superman punch and so Roman got a near
- 1:02:13Speaker 1: fall out of it. Now Roman set up for a
- 1:02:16Speaker 1: spear too, met him with a superkick instead, and then
- 1:02:20Speaker 1: the dreaded Tonguan death grip. The Tonguan death grip a
- 1:02:25Speaker 1: move so deadly, so lethal that he has yet to
- 1:02:30Speaker 1: win a match with it, but he got it applied
- 1:02:33Speaker 1: here on Roman reigns and Jacob sent him out backwards
- 1:02:36Speaker 1: over the top rope, and then when Jacob tried to dive,
- 1:02:39Speaker 1: Roman cut him off with another Superman punch in the
- 1:02:41Speaker 1: ropes and Jacob sort of flopped out of the ring
- 1:02:45Speaker 1: and crumbled to the floor. Roman pulled a toolbox out
- 1:02:48Speaker 1: from under the ring and he started smashing Fatu's death
- 1:02:52Speaker 1: grip hand with it, and he's shouting, you can't do
- 1:02:55Speaker 1: shit with that, now, can you. So again he smashed
- 1:02:58Speaker 1: the hand with the toolbox, and again the crowd got
- 1:03:01Speaker 1: real quiet. At this point, Roman propped the slim Gym
- 1:03:06Speaker 1: table up in the corner in the ring, which I mean,
- 1:03:09Speaker 1: I know these are the tables they use all the time,
- 1:03:11Speaker 1: but still have fucking we got tribal combat here, and
- 1:03:15Speaker 1: I'm looking at two giant slim Gym logos propped up
- 1:03:19Speaker 1: at the quarter of the ray like this is just
- 1:03:21Speaker 1: fucking ridiculous. So he sat up for a spear. Fatu, though,
- 1:03:26Speaker 1: ended up crushing him in the corner, and so Fa
- 1:03:30Speaker 1: two was getting a second wind. Roman spelled outside over
- 1:03:33Speaker 1: by the timekeeper's barricade, and fat Tou sees this and
- 1:03:36Speaker 1: he gets that little twinkle in his eye. Oh, they're
- 1:03:41Speaker 1: by the timekeeper's barricades. You know what's coming up next.
- 1:03:44Speaker 1: So Jacob rolls out to the floor and he's in
- 1:03:46Speaker 1: the aisleway like he's gonna get a real like running
- 1:03:49Speaker 1: head start here, and he makes a mad dash. He comes,
- 1:03:53Speaker 1: he circles the bend, but before he could even get
- 1:03:56Speaker 1: to Roman by the barricade, Roman catches him with a
- 1:03:59Speaker 1: superman bunch. Roman then speared fought too through the barricade,
- 1:04:03Speaker 1: but not that barricade. He speared him through the regular barricade,
- 1:04:06Speaker 1: and there were two security guys sitting on the other
- 1:04:08Speaker 1: side of it and they got crushed underneath the barricade,
- 1:04:12Speaker 1: so that was different. Back inside, we got the the
- 1:04:16Speaker 1: ooh ah. And then Roman went and hit the spear
- 1:04:20Speaker 1: at least once. When you do a review of a
- 1:04:22Speaker 1: Roman Reigns match, you gotta do you gotta do the
- 1:04:24Speaker 1: the ooh ah. You gotta do it, or you could
- 1:04:27Speaker 1: do it the way that al Pacino did in sent
- 1:04:29Speaker 1: of a Woman and go whoah, could do that too,
- 1:04:32Speaker 1: that's actually funnier. I think Roman should start doing that
- 1:04:35Speaker 1: in his matches. He should just go ooh ah and
- 1:04:38Speaker 1: then just hit the spear. Jacob kicked out, so Roman
- 1:04:42Speaker 1: starts talking, shit, you think I need the buckle? Right,
- 1:04:45Speaker 1: he's referencing the way that he ended up beating Jacob
- 1:04:47Speaker 1: a backlash because Jacob ended up going face first into
- 1:04:50Speaker 1: the exposed buckle. So he goes and he rips three
- 1:04:56Speaker 1: of the four top turn buckle pads off. The only
- 1:04:58Speaker 1: one that he didn't rip off is the one that
- 1:04:59Speaker 1: was hidden in the other corner behind the slim gym table.
- 1:05:04Speaker 1: So another fucking superman punch. I lost track of how
- 1:05:09Speaker 1: many we got here in this match. At least half
- 1:05:12Speaker 1: a dozen Superman punch. Jacob no sells it. Roman started
- 1:05:19Speaker 1: ramming him into the exposed buckles and again he's got
- 1:05:23Speaker 1: the hard Samoan head, so that didn't really do anything.
- 1:05:26Speaker 1: And he catches Roman with a spear of his own,
- 1:05:29Speaker 1: and he goes for the pin and Jacob kicks out,
- 1:05:34Speaker 1: so FA two, He's going to go for the Mighty
- 1:05:37Speaker 1: Moon Salt. Roman though rolled out of the way. Fatu
- 1:05:40Speaker 1: did a belly flop on the landing spear attempt. Jacob, though,
- 1:05:44Speaker 1: popped him up into a Samoan drop, and this time
- 1:05:47Speaker 1: he goes for the Mighty Moon Salt and it connects
- 1:05:50Speaker 1: and Corey Graves and I knew that this was not
- 1:05:53Speaker 1: going to be the end of the match. Do you
- 1:05:54Speaker 1: know how I knew that, because as soon as Jacob
- 1:05:57Speaker 1: landed the Mighty Moon Salt, I had to listen to
- 1:06:00Speaker 1: Corey Graves go, We're gonna have a new champion. We
- 1:06:03Speaker 1: got a new champion, which of course means we don't
- 1:06:06Speaker 1: have a new champion, and we didn't have a new champion.
- 1:06:09Speaker 1: And Roman kicked out, but in getting the arm up
- 1:06:13Speaker 1: on the kickout, Roman delivered a low blow. Now was
- 1:06:17Speaker 1: that unintentional? Was that on purpose? Not the first time
- 1:06:23Speaker 1: we've seen Roman Reigns do that in a match, and
- 1:06:27Speaker 1: it would be legal anyway. It doesn't really matter because
- 1:06:29Speaker 1: it's tribal combat. But you could rip the other guy's
- 1:06:32Speaker 1: nuts off with your bare hands. It's notice qualification. So
- 1:06:36Speaker 1: the tongue in death grip is applied and Roman starts
- 1:06:40Speaker 1: ramming him headfirst over and over into the exposed buckle
- 1:06:44Speaker 1: and then he spears fat to through the slim gym table.
- 1:06:48Speaker 1: He snapped into it, but Fought two was back up
- 1:06:52Speaker 1: on his feet pretty quickly. Roman then gave him one
- 1:06:55Speaker 1: spear and that's all it took, and he got the
- 1:06:58Speaker 1: pin to retain the World Heavyweight championship. And if that
- 1:07:03Speaker 1: wasn't bad enough, right, we just saw Jacob fa Tu
- 1:07:07Speaker 1: drop two straight to Roman reigns in the span of
- 1:07:11Speaker 1: one of less than a month. Backlash was only a
- 1:07:14Speaker 1: few weeks ago. As if that wasn't bad enough, we
- 1:07:18Speaker 1: have Michael Cole on commentary hit us with this line
- 1:07:23Speaker 1: just to shovel some more dirt on the poor guy.
- 1:07:26Speaker 1: The Samoan were wolf has been neutered and domesticated. Amazing,
- 1:07:36Speaker 1: he has been neutered. He just dropped too straight and
- 1:07:40Speaker 1: now he has to be the man's basically man servant.
- 1:07:45Speaker 1: He was neutered, He was neutered and domesticated. So the
- 1:07:51Speaker 1: ussos hit the ring. They placed I think Jay placed
- 1:07:54Speaker 1: the ulafalla around Roman's neck. Michael Cole said, now we
- 1:07:59Speaker 1: turn ours to Monday Night Raw where Fought too will
- 1:08:03Speaker 1: have to honor Roman as his tribal chief. Roman was
- 1:08:07Speaker 1: just a total heel here acting like a total heel,
- 1:08:12Speaker 1: looking down at FOT two, talking all kinds of shit,
- 1:08:15Speaker 1: you know, as he was leaving, all of a sudden,
- 1:08:19Speaker 1: they cut to a shot of the crowd, and who
- 1:08:22Speaker 1: do we see in the crowd The fucking MFTs. We
- 1:08:28Speaker 1: see Solo so CoA, we see Tomatanga, and we see
- 1:08:32Speaker 1: Talatanga because that's all that's left of the MFTs. There's
- 1:08:36Speaker 1: no more Tonga Loa, and there's no more j. C. Mitteio,
- 1:08:40Speaker 1: but the fucking MFTs. And Solo is looking over he's
- 1:08:45Speaker 1: judging Jacob. He's shaking his head again, like a disappointed dad,
- 1:08:49Speaker 1: shaking his head in disappointment. He wasn't the only one.
- 1:08:53Speaker 1: And Jacob was staring back at Solo, probably pondering some
- 1:08:57Speaker 1: of his life choices Roman as he was leaving, and
- 1:09:02Speaker 1: he spotted the MFTs. He's basically, in so many words,
- 1:09:05Speaker 1: he said they're next. He's like looking at the Usso's going, yeah,
- 1:09:08Speaker 1: they're next. And I'm like, oh my god, oh my god,
- 1:09:14Speaker 1: please no, please, I can't. I can't do this anymore. No,
- 1:09:21Speaker 1: we can't. We can't. We can't be going back to this.
- 1:09:26Speaker 1: We can't be going back to this bloodline civil war stuff.
- 1:09:29Speaker 1: I just with a group that's more dead than whoever
- 1:09:37Speaker 1: is laying under that fucking tarp in Dan Hausen's lab.
- 1:09:42Speaker 1: Are we really going back to this now? On the
- 1:09:48Speaker 1: post show, Roman cut a promo he acknowledged guys like
- 1:09:53Speaker 1: la Night and Royce Keys. I guess as he specifically
- 1:09:57Speaker 1: name drop those two guys, I guess name I mean
- 1:10:00Speaker 1: potential challengers for his championship. All Walfa too stood behind
- 1:10:06Speaker 1: him in the background and he was just staring a
- 1:10:08Speaker 1: hole right through him. I should also mention that Roman
- 1:10:13Speaker 1: was as he was walking to the back before the
- 1:10:15Speaker 1: show went off the air. This is what I mentioned
- 1:10:17Speaker 1: at the beginning of the review. He was again just
- 1:10:20Speaker 1: talking all kinds of shit, and he goes, now they
- 1:10:22Speaker 1: know who the head of the table is. Who the
- 1:10:24Speaker 1: captain of the ship is. QB One? Fuck that noise,
- 1:10:28Speaker 1: it's the tribal chief. So on the post show, QB
- 1:10:33Speaker 1: One himself, Cody Rhodes was on set with Biggie and
- 1:10:38Speaker 1: Joe Test was there and they had to fill him
- 1:10:41Speaker 1: in on what Roman had said, and they wanted his response.
- 1:10:44Speaker 1: So this is what Cody said, said, I think it's
- 1:10:47Speaker 1: a unique position for me to be in, for me
- 1:10:49Speaker 1: to say something negative or for him to say something
- 1:10:52Speaker 1: negative about me, for the simple fact that he doesn't
- 1:10:55Speaker 1: have two wins over me. I don't have two wins
- 1:10:58Speaker 1: over him. He beat me once, I beat his ass once,
- 1:11:02Speaker 1: So I don't know add him to the list. We said,
- 1:11:05Speaker 1: Gunther can get a rematch whenever he wants it, come
- 1:11:08Speaker 1: and get it, easy to find, hard to beat. That
- 1:11:12Speaker 1: goes for Roman Reigns as well. And then the two
- 1:11:16Speaker 1: of them ran into each other in the backstage area
- 1:11:19Speaker 1: for ten seconds. They had a tense maybe not even
- 1:11:23Speaker 1: ten seconds, and they had like a tense little stare
- 1:11:26Speaker 1: down and then Cody kept walking and Roman just kind
- 1:11:29Speaker 1: of laughed and then he kept walking. So they're definitely
- 1:11:34Speaker 1: teasing a third match here between Roman and Cody. Is
- 1:11:38Speaker 1: that going to be a Crown Jewel match? Are we
- 1:11:40Speaker 1: even getting a Crown Jewel later this year? Because usually
- 1:11:43Speaker 1: it's the top champions wrestling each other. I still find
- 1:11:47Speaker 1: it hard to believe that both these guys are going
- 1:11:50Speaker 1: to beat champions. Let's say in the fall. Roman remember
- 1:11:53Speaker 1: what Roman said coming out of wrestle Mania after he
- 1:11:55Speaker 1: beat Punk, He goes, he got me through the summer, okay,
- 1:11:58Speaker 1: which is code for I'm losing at Summerslap. So I
- 1:12:02Speaker 1: doubt very seriously that like in September October, Roman's still
- 1:12:06Speaker 1: gonna be the world champion. I mean, anything's possible. So
- 1:12:10Speaker 1: I don't know about Crown Jewel, but like, could this
- 1:12:12Speaker 1: be the wrestle Media match next year? Are they clinging
- 1:12:16Speaker 1: to hope that maybe the Rock is going to wrestle
- 1:12:18Speaker 1: Roman a WrestleMania next year because the Saudis might want
- 1:12:22Speaker 1: Dwayne Johnson on the show. So and there's been talked
- 1:12:24Speaker 1: by the way that there were negotiations going on about
- 1:12:27Speaker 1: getting him on the Wrestle Media card. I just don't
- 1:12:29Speaker 1: waste any oxygen even talking about it because it's fucking pointless.
- 1:12:33Speaker 1: We go through this every year. But is this one
- 1:12:36Speaker 1: of the reasons maybe why they insist on continuing with
- 1:12:39Speaker 1: the Bloodline stuff, because they're building towards the hope that
- 1:12:42Speaker 1: maybe just maybe at the end of all this, at
- 1:12:44Speaker 1: the end of the rainbow here, we're gonna get the
- 1:12:47Speaker 1: big match between Roman and Rock. And I'm like, you
- 1:12:52Speaker 1: know what, whether we get it or not, And it's
- 1:12:53Speaker 1: one of those matches where it's like I'll believe it
- 1:12:55Speaker 1: when I see it. But like, whether we get it
- 1:12:58Speaker 1: or not, that doesn't mean that we have to come
- 1:13:00Speaker 1: instantly be subjected to bloodline shit every single week on television.
- 1:13:05Speaker 1: But this is this is where we are. This is
- 1:13:07Speaker 1: how Clashing Italy went off the air, teasing a bloodline
- 1:13:12Speaker 1: civil war. And the big story going into Raw tomorrow
- 1:13:15Speaker 1: night is will Jacob Fatu do what he is supposed
- 1:13:18Speaker 1: to do and will he acknowledge his tribal chief and
- 1:13:21Speaker 1: will he serve his tribal chief or are they gonna
- 1:13:24Speaker 1: shoot some kind of big angle where he just cannot
- 1:13:26Speaker 1: bring himself to do it and we get some kind
- 1:13:29Speaker 1: of big twist. It would be welcome, It would be welcome.
- 1:13:34Speaker 1: But see, I no longer give them the benefit of
- 1:13:36Speaker 1: the doubt because they don't deserve it. They don't deserve
- 1:13:39Speaker 1: it because every time you think, oh, well, maybe they'll
- 1:13:43Speaker 1: do this, or maybe they'll they'll surprise us and they'll
- 1:13:45Speaker 1: go they'll zig instead of zag, or they'll do something
- 1:13:48Speaker 1: other than what they always do, they always fall back
- 1:13:52Speaker 1: on their tried and true and they always stick to
- 1:13:54Speaker 1: the formula. They just they just they they're so afraid
- 1:13:57Speaker 1: to take risks, you know, and they just constant play
- 1:14:00Speaker 1: it safe. Triple H constantly plays it safe when it
- 1:14:03Speaker 1: comes to the booking that I don't give them the
- 1:14:05Speaker 1: benefit of the doubt. So sure, it'd be great if
- 1:14:09Speaker 1: they made you think that this is what they're going
- 1:14:11Speaker 1: to be doing and then boom they hit you between
- 1:14:13Speaker 1: the eyes with something completely different. But my god, I mean,
- 1:14:16Speaker 1: can you blame me for sitting here and not believing
- 1:14:20Speaker 1: that that's what we're going to end up getting. I
- 1:14:22Speaker 1: think this is exactly what we're going to end up getting,
- 1:14:24Speaker 1: and it sucks. It sucks. Six years later, we are
- 1:14:29Speaker 1: still doing this bloodline. We are still milking the cow,
- 1:14:32Speaker 1: trying to extract every last little drop that we can
- 1:14:35Speaker 1: out of this because we are incapable, we are incapable
- 1:14:40Speaker 1: of trying to come up with an idea that could
- 1:14:44Speaker 1: rival the bloodline stuff from three or four years ago.
- 1:14:48Speaker 1: So we're just going to keep beating a dead horse
- 1:14:50Speaker 1: here and we're going to keep going back to that. Well.
- 1:14:52Speaker 1: We'll cycle in a couple of new faces every now
- 1:14:54Speaker 1: and then, but you know, we got Roman who hasn't
- 1:14:58Speaker 1: changed at all. By the way, Roman hasn't evolved, He
- 1:15:00Speaker 1: hasn't changed. He's still a dick. The usos are backed. Basically,
- 1:15:04Speaker 1: the Ussos have have devolved, They've devolved back to where
- 1:15:10Speaker 1: they were a few years ago. You're a couple of lackeys.
- 1:15:13Speaker 1: You know, they're Roman's boys. Jacob's a newer face, I get.
- 1:15:17Speaker 1: I mean, he's been there for a couple of years already,
- 1:15:18Speaker 1: but he's still kind of a newer face and all
- 1:15:20Speaker 1: of this. But you got solo and you get it's like, like,
- 1:15:24Speaker 1: what are we doing here? That's why I said, like
- 1:15:26Speaker 1: it feels like we're on an infinite loop. You play
- 1:15:32Speaker 1: a song on your Spotify playlist and you hit that
- 1:15:34Speaker 1: button where when the song is over, it just keeps
- 1:15:36Speaker 1: looping it over and over again. That's the song of
- 1:15:39Speaker 1: the Bloodline. That's what we're doing here with this product,
- 1:15:41Speaker 1: and everything else is a distant number two. Everything else
- 1:15:45Speaker 1: just plays number two to the Bloodline stuff. So in
- 1:15:51Speaker 1: a few weeks or a few months, we'll have another
- 1:15:53Speaker 1: acknowledgment ceremony and there'll be another battle over the Ula Falla,
- 1:15:57Speaker 1: and we'll just keep doing this until you know, we
- 1:16:00Speaker 1: have gray hairs growing out of our face and it
- 1:16:03Speaker 1: just gets tiring after a while. Nothing ever feels like
- 1:16:06Speaker 1: it really changes. That was Clash in Italy. I put
- 1:16:13Speaker 1: a pole up, and again I can't show them anymore
- 1:16:15Speaker 1: because for whatever reason, I can't log in two x
- 1:16:19Speaker 1: through OBS. But I will check out right now. Actually,
- 1:16:25Speaker 1: what the results of the pole are thumbs up, thumbs
- 1:16:30Speaker 1: in the middle, thumbs down for Clash in Italy, And
- 1:16:35Speaker 1: according to you guys, thirty five point seven percent thumbs up,
- 1:16:41Speaker 1: forty three percent thumbs in the middle, twenty one percent
- 1:16:44Speaker 1: thumbs down. Not a great score for Clash in Italy.
- 1:16:54Speaker 1: I like the mouse, says, I already have gray hairs growing. Yes,
- 1:16:57Speaker 1: you know why. This is why. Because you've been watching
- 1:17:00Speaker 1: the WWE product for far too long, your gray hairs
- 1:17:07Speaker 1: will only get that much grayer. Actually, they might start
- 1:17:10Speaker 1: falling out. That's the next step. Anyway, let's go to
- 1:17:19Speaker 1: your super chats. See what you guys thought. Where is
- 1:17:27Speaker 1: Raw tomorrow night? By the way, it was Raw also
- 1:17:30Speaker 1: in Italy. I know SmackDown is I don't know if
- 1:17:34Speaker 1: Raw is also in turn. I think it is. I
- 1:17:35Speaker 1: think Raw is in Turn. Well, then good. At least
- 1:17:37Speaker 1: we'll have a hot craft for Raw tomorrow night. Oh well,
- 1:17:41Speaker 1: don't forget Raw two pm Eastern start on Netflix, so
- 1:17:46Speaker 1: you don't need a VPN for that. It'll be two
- 1:17:48Speaker 1: o'clock Eastern on Netflix. We're gonna do tomorrow what we
- 1:17:52Speaker 1: did today, so I will go live at about eight
- 1:17:56Speaker 1: pm Eastern. I'm not going live immediately after eight o'clock tomorrow.
- 1:18:01Speaker 1: We'll bump up the raw review and we'll go live
- 1:18:04Speaker 1: on YouTube. Oh, we got Nico with us. But before
- 1:18:14Speaker 1: we get to Nico, we gotta go to the real CS,
- 1:18:18Speaker 1: said Solo, with JR. Admitting that he had another fall
- 1:18:22Speaker 1: before Double or Nothing said, my thing is, how is
- 1:18:25Speaker 1: he still able to live by himself? He's been open
- 1:18:28Speaker 1: about it, and it feels like no one is doing
- 1:18:29Speaker 1: a thing about it. Is that just me? Well, it's
- 1:18:31Speaker 1: not anybody's decision to make except his. He's a grown
- 1:18:34Speaker 1: ass man. If he wants to live alone, I mentioned
- 1:18:38Speaker 1: like the other day, I said, I think it's time
- 1:18:39Speaker 1: for him to have a live in aid. And I
- 1:18:41Speaker 1: don't know if that's something that he's considered or people
- 1:18:44Speaker 1: have suggested to him, but it's his call. He doesn't
- 1:18:47Speaker 1: have to do what he doesn't want to do. This
- 1:18:50Speaker 1: week's episode is sponsored by Wicks. If you own your

- 1:20:02Speaker 1: for the super chats, got a bunch of them. Here, says,
- 1:20:07Speaker 1: was gonna watch Clash in Italy in the theater, But
- 1:20:09Speaker 1: I said, Nat, I'm gonna watch the stream and give
- 1:20:12Speaker 1: you a bunch of superchats. Thanks as all the way. Well,
- 1:20:14Speaker 1: I like that plan, I like that plane, and I
- 1:20:17Speaker 1: got you all caught up on everything. Now we are.
- 1:20:22Speaker 1: We are thirteen out of fifteen. By the way, on
- 1:20:24Speaker 1: that bonus goal, what was the the main one? The
- 1:20:27Speaker 1: main one was what five hundred and fifteen likes? Oh yeah,
- 1:20:31Speaker 1: we've we blew past that. We're almost a seven fifty.
- 1:20:36Speaker 1: A monu is a monu or manu? Say monu? Welcome
- 1:20:39Speaker 1: to the channel, Biko says. But I'm gonna watch Obsession later.
- 1:20:43Speaker 1: I think the movie will be done by the time
- 1:20:45Speaker 1: the stream starts. I'll give you my non spoiler review
- 1:20:47Speaker 1: in super chat for well you do that, You're gonna
- 1:20:50Speaker 1: have a good time, Philip Bowman. While I do think
- 1:20:55Speaker 1: one person having excess power is bad, I wanted to
- 1:20:58Speaker 1: ask you objectively, how different with wweb if Tony Kahan
- 1:21:02Speaker 1: actually bought it. I mean, just watch aw that'll give
- 1:21:06Speaker 1: you a sense of how WWE would be. He has
- 1:21:10Speaker 1: he has a you know, he has a style, he
- 1:21:13Speaker 1: has a preference of how he likes his wrestling. All
- 1:21:17Speaker 1: you have to do is watch aw and that's a
- 1:21:21Speaker 1: mirror into a WWE would look like. But again, no
- 1:21:26Speaker 1: one person or entity should be able to consolidate that
- 1:21:29Speaker 1: much power within one industry. That's my concern with the
- 1:21:31Speaker 1: whole Cyber Agent thing. They just bought or bought into
- 1:21:38Speaker 1: New Japan Pro Wrestling you know them and TV is
- 1:21:43Speaker 1: sah he each own I believe forty six point three
- 1:21:46Speaker 1: percent now of New Japan. Bushy Road had about seventy
- 1:21:50Speaker 1: percent of the stock and they sold it off. The
- 1:21:53Speaker 1: Cyber Agent also owns DDT and no uh Tokyo Joshi
- 1:21:57Speaker 1: Pro and now they own a big chun of New Japan.
- 1:22:00Speaker 1: I don't think that's a good thing. Plus, the company
- 1:22:05Speaker 1: is called cyber Agent. Does that not like give people pause?
- 1:22:09Speaker 1: The fucking company is called cyber Agent. I don't know.
- 1:22:13Speaker 1: It's a little it's a little scary. Ace of Masta
- 1:22:21Speaker 1: says yeah about that Oba winning again with a sad face.
- 1:22:30Speaker 1: I'm not surprised. I'm not surprised. Abystle Zones says huge
- 1:22:36Speaker 1: waste not to have lived on the show, given how
- 1:22:38Speaker 1: over she was on the pre show. All it would
- 1:22:41Speaker 1: have needed was EO or Bailey making a challenge on Raw. Yeah,
- 1:22:46Speaker 1: my brother, this is this is Paul Levec that we're
- 1:22:48Speaker 1: talking about here. Can't be having six matches on these
- 1:22:52Speaker 1: shows unless it's WrestleMania or SummerSlam. You're not allowed. Five
- 1:22:59Speaker 1: is the cut off. Five is the cutof, and you
- 1:23:03Speaker 1: get no matches on the pre show either. But you
- 1:23:06Speaker 1: can listen to Peter Rosenberg talk there you go. Alexander
- 1:23:11Speaker 1: says it's a shame that Jacob is now required to
- 1:23:13Speaker 1: join Roman's Kiss My Ass Club. Lord have mercy. Nika
- 1:23:20Speaker 1: says glad I did not spend that thirty dollars. I'll
- 1:23:24Speaker 1: see you have to pay for ESPN unlimited m That sucks.
- 1:23:33Speaker 1: Aaron says, bloodline MFTs again a rerun of a rerun.
- 1:23:37Speaker 1: It's like a copy of a copy. You ever see
- 1:23:39Speaker 1: the movie Multiplicity with Michael Keaton. It's a copy of
- 1:23:44Speaker 1: a copy which is never as good as the original.
- 1:23:49Speaker 1: Jeremy Rose says, fuck this company. This show was cookie cutter.
- 1:23:53Speaker 1: Why do they not evolve any of the main characters?
- 1:23:56Speaker 1: Cody and Roman, for example, are still the same as
- 1:23:58Speaker 1: they were in twenty twenty two and twenty twenty three.
- 1:24:01Speaker 1: Because I'm over this shit. It was the main reason
- 1:24:07Speaker 1: why I can never bring myself to care about the MFTs.
- 1:24:12Speaker 1: You know, there's nothing. I don't have any issue inherently
- 1:24:15Speaker 1: with the people in the group. They never bothered to
- 1:24:18Speaker 1: evolve any of them. Solo is really the only one
- 1:24:20Speaker 1: that they even bother to focus on, and they have
- 1:24:22Speaker 1: him completely miscast. Solo Sokoa is not the Godfather, you know.
- 1:24:27Speaker 1: I can't look at him and not see like again,
- 1:24:31Speaker 1: like a wish Roman, like he's trying to play Roman
- 1:24:34Speaker 1: for Halloween or something. That's not the right role for him.
- 1:24:38Speaker 1: But they never bothered to evolve any of the other
- 1:24:40Speaker 1: people in the group. Tomatonga, tongaloa J. C. Matteo, they
- 1:24:44Speaker 1: either never spoke, they stood in the background. They put
- 1:24:47Speaker 1: the face pain on. Who gives a shit. The reason
- 1:24:51Speaker 1: the bloodline worked was because everybody had their own personality
- 1:24:55Speaker 1: and everybody had their own story going. That's why it worked.
- 1:25:05Speaker 1: A Pumpkin Ryan, thank you, GMB is with us. Roman
- 1:25:08Speaker 1: is worse than Reign of Terror Triple H at least
- 1:25:12Speaker 1: triple h put over ben Wa and Batista multiple times.
- 1:25:15Speaker 1: Roman doesn't want to work with anyone outside of his family.
- 1:25:22Speaker 1: It seems that way sometimes, doesn't it. It sure seems
- 1:25:26Speaker 1: that way. Johnny Burney solo openning Oba in the King
- 1:25:31Speaker 1: of the Ring moves me. I fear, Yeah, it moves
- 1:25:36Speaker 1: you to the insane asylum. That's where it moves you.
- 1:25:42Speaker 1: Magnificent Matt, what is your favorite kiss song? War Machine
- 1:25:55Speaker 1: Gabriel says, I told you Cody will retain because there's
- 1:25:59Speaker 1: a bigger story in place for that title. Comes Summer
- 1:26:01Speaker 1: Slam in Randy winning number fifteen. Only then you'll realize
- 1:26:05Speaker 1: that it was worth it. Dude, I don't give a
- 1:26:07Speaker 1: shit anymore. I don't even care, don't care, don't care
- 1:26:11Speaker 1: if Randy wins fifteen, could not care any less. If
- 1:26:17Speaker 1: it happens, great, If it doesn't happen, I don't give
- 1:26:19Speaker 1: a shit. You lost me. Bas Bears says, thank you,
- 1:26:23Speaker 1: brock death Syth because I'm sorry, but Gunther retired Goldberg,
- 1:26:32Speaker 1: John Cena and aj Styles and then loses to Cody.
- 1:26:35Speaker 1: That's like brock Lesnar ending the streak at WrestleMania thirty
- 1:26:39Speaker 1: and losing to John Cena at SummerSlam. Kind of yeah,
- 1:26:47Speaker 1: in a way, I guess you could look at it
- 1:26:48Speaker 1: that way. Uh. Philip says the best WWE video game
- 1:27:02Speaker 1: soundtrack SmackDown versus Raw two thousand and seven or two
- 1:27:06Speaker 1: K nineteen. I mean, from what I remember of two
- 1:27:12Speaker 1: K nineteen, I gotta go two K nineteen. Death Sythe says,
- 1:27:22Speaker 1: I'm not a Triple H fan, but I will give
- 1:27:26Speaker 1: the man credit because the only other wrestler he has
- 1:27:28Speaker 1: truly elevated besides Batista was Jeff Hardy back at Armageddon
- 1:27:36Speaker 1: in two thousand and seven and throughout two thousand and eight.
- 1:27:39Speaker 1: Would you agree? I don't remember what he did for
- 1:27:43Speaker 1: Jeff in two thousand and eight, but I I mean,
- 1:27:46Speaker 1: I'll give you Armageddon, I guess, but I don't know.
- 1:27:50Speaker 1: I don't really see. And I know he also lost
- 1:27:52Speaker 1: the Intercontinental title to him in two thousand and one.
- 1:27:55Speaker 1: You want to go back all the way to A one?
- 1:27:58Speaker 1: I mean you could technically inclin that too, but again,
- 1:28:03Speaker 1: you know, getting somebody over is more than just like
- 1:28:06Speaker 1: letting them beat you in a match. Like Batista, he
- 1:28:09Speaker 1: he took the time and effort to really help get
- 1:28:12Speaker 1: that guy over. They built a whole story around Batista
- 1:28:15Speaker 1: breaking out of evolution and then beating Triple H and
- 1:28:18Speaker 1: then beating him again, and then beating him again. That's
- 1:28:22Speaker 1: putting somebody over. Losing a match to somebody, it can
- 1:28:26Speaker 1: be elevating them to that next level. But it all depends.
- 1:28:29Speaker 1: It all depends on the situation. It depends also on
- 1:28:33Speaker 1: how you lose. You can lose a match, but it's
- 1:28:36Speaker 1: like a slip on a banana peel finish, and what
- 1:28:39Speaker 1: does that really accomplish, you know what I mean. I'm
- 1:28:41Speaker 1: not saying that's what he did for Jeff. I'm just
- 1:28:42Speaker 1: saying I think sometimes people mistake just losing a match,
- 1:28:46Speaker 1: oh that you know, they elevated somebody, or they they
- 1:28:49Speaker 1: got them over. No, they put them over. Putting them
- 1:28:51Speaker 1: over is not necessarily the same as getting them over.
- 1:28:57Speaker 1: Phillips says, I would prefer the aw finish your kickouts
- 1:29:01Speaker 1: over seven f fives. Well, I mean, look, there was
- 1:29:08Speaker 1: nothing on this show that even came close to the
- 1:29:10Speaker 1: best matches that we just had, you know, a week ago,
- 1:29:14Speaker 1: at double or nothing. I mean, I'll give you that,
- 1:29:22Speaker 1: but I mean spamming moves is spamming moves, you know,
- 1:29:26Speaker 1: no matter who it is. Dried Chicken says Nicky Freeman.
- 1:29:34Speaker 1: Equals that don't work for me. Brother obsession, great movie
- 1:29:38Speaker 1: Triple H puts some flavor on this show. Yeah, not really.
- 1:29:43Speaker 1: Death Site says, my grandmother passed away on my sixteenth
- 1:29:46Speaker 1: birthday back in twenty ten. She's been dead for sixteen years,
- 1:29:49Speaker 1: and she still looks fresher than the Bloodline does. Now
- 1:29:55Speaker 1: shout out to death Site's grandmother. I don't really know
- 1:30:02Speaker 1: what else to say to that, so we're just gonna
- 1:30:04Speaker 1: move on. Philip Bowman, the Bloodline has passed nWo levels
- 1:30:10Speaker 1: of redundant, not until they get the shirts they all
- 1:30:13Speaker 1: have to get, like their own shirts. That's the one
- 1:30:16Speaker 1: thing that the Bloodline. They haven't had their own custom
- 1:30:19Speaker 1: shirts yet where they all wear them at the same time.
- 1:30:27Speaker 1: Alexander says, you already know Roman is going to be
- 1:30:30Speaker 1: the World heavyweight Champion until WrestleMania. No, I don't know that,
- 1:30:34Speaker 1: because if he's here until the summer and he's gonna
- 1:30:37Speaker 1: go away, then I don't want him to have the
- 1:30:39Speaker 1: World heavyweight championship. If he's going away after summer, slimon,
- 1:30:44Speaker 1: he's not going to be full time. Get that fucking
- 1:30:46Speaker 1: belt off of him. That is the last thing we need.
- 1:30:53Speaker 1: Base Bears says, I have blue balls from Cody versus Gunther. Well,
- 1:30:57Speaker 1: that sounds like a problem to take up with your
- 1:31:00Speaker 1: doctor face Pears Drew Drew mackincock one plus one. You're done,
- 1:31:09Speaker 1: bitch wise words from brock Lester. Yeah, I mean look again,
- 1:31:16Speaker 1: he he's a farm boy. He's a farm boy who
- 1:31:19Speaker 1: probably you know, didn't take advance calculus. So although this
- 1:31:24Speaker 1: is very basic remedial math that we're talking about here, so,
- 1:31:28Speaker 1: but he's not being paid to do math. Nico says, Hey,
- 1:31:36Speaker 1: Solo just got done with obsession. Holy shit, WTF in
- 1:31:40Speaker 1: a good way. I recommend it to everyone to watch
- 1:31:43Speaker 1: the movie as you should. It's my favorite movie of
- 1:31:46Speaker 1: the year and hard to believe, but again, on a
- 1:31:52Speaker 1: budget of under a million dollars, it is poised, if
- 1:31:56Speaker 1: you can believe, it to gross in excess worldwide, in
- 1:32:01Speaker 1: excess of two hundred and fifty million dollars. I don't
- 1:32:06Speaker 1: know that there has ever been a movie in cinema
- 1:32:09Speaker 1: history that will turn a profit the way that this
- 1:32:13Speaker 1: movie will turn a profit. Like it's unbelievable. It's unbelievable.
- 1:32:19Speaker 1: And I saw that they were they were supposed to
- 1:32:22Speaker 1: be coming out with the movie on digital this week,
- 1:32:24Speaker 1: and I was like, they got to push that shit.
- 1:32:26Speaker 1: You can't. You cannot have the movie come out on
- 1:32:28Speaker 1: digital this week. And so sure enough they pulled it
- 1:32:31Speaker 1: from the schedule. I mean, it's look at the business
- 1:32:34Speaker 1: it's doing. You got to keep that shit in theaters.
- 1:32:38Speaker 1: So now they're giving it the full forty five day
- 1:32:40Speaker 1: like theater release that all the big movies get. We'll
- 1:32:44Speaker 1: see how how high they can run that score up. Man,
- 1:32:46Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty maybe maybe three hundred million. Maybe
- 1:32:50Speaker 1: they can do three hundred million worldwide on a budget
- 1:32:54Speaker 1: of seven hundred and fifty thousand. Also made more in
- 1:33:00Speaker 1: its third weekend than it did in each of the
- 1:33:04Speaker 1: previous two weekends. And as far as I know, I
- 1:33:08Speaker 1: think the only movie that has ever done that where
- 1:33:12Speaker 1: its third weekend in release was its biggest weekend. I'm
- 1:33:16Speaker 1: pretty sure the only movie ever to do that was ET,
- 1:33:20Speaker 1: and that may be it. Besbier says, this is the
- 1:33:30Speaker 1: most redundant decade yet. It may be at least in
- 1:33:38Speaker 1: WWA Abystle Zones says, my depressing king of the ring.
- 1:33:42Speaker 1: Prediction is that Seth wins and they do the same
- 1:33:46Speaker 1: match they supposedly wanted to originally do at WrestleMania this year. Yeah,
- 1:33:55Speaker 1: I mean, look, the best thing I can say about
- 1:33:57Speaker 1: that is, at least it wouldn't be Bloodline against Bloodline.
- 1:34:05Speaker 1: Chris did Triple H book himself to win every match
- 1:34:09Speaker 1: on this card he was still active, he might have
- 1:34:14Speaker 1: Kid Villain thirty dollars for three matches. Triple A is
- 1:34:19Speaker 1: free on YouTube. It is. It's quite great. Actually, you
- 1:34:27Speaker 1: know that's not gonna last for much longer, though only
- 1:34:31Speaker 1: a matter of time. They gonna be putting that shit
- 1:34:33Speaker 1: behind a paywall somewhere. Maybe they'll find a completely different
- 1:34:36Speaker 1: streaming service that they'll force you to subscribe to. You
- 1:34:38Speaker 1: then to watch Triple A. I don't think we have
- 1:34:41Speaker 1: enough of those. Maybe we could add one more to
- 1:34:43Speaker 1: the list. Spartan Sprinkles coming in hot with a five
- 1:34:51Speaker 1: dollars super chip. By the way, we did hit the
- 1:34:53Speaker 1: bonus goal. I didn't notice that. I did, indeed shout
- 1:35:05Speaker 1: out to Noah Noah the mark in the chat. I
- 1:35:07Speaker 1: don't know what Blair Witch Project did worldwide on I
- 1:35:11Speaker 1: don't know what the budget for that was or what
- 1:35:13Speaker 1: the final global total was. But I don't know. Maybe
- 1:35:18Speaker 1: maybe it's in the conversation. But Spartan says, Roman reigns
- 1:35:29Speaker 1: forced to the top of the card, Brock spams finishers,
- 1:35:33Speaker 1: best wrestler in the company, loses to Generic. Uh what,
- 1:35:41Speaker 1: I don't know. That means I thought that said Hawktua
- 1:35:46Speaker 1: is like what Vince McMahon Booking Lives Retro. Koh Oba
- 1:35:57Speaker 1: could have won, Brock could have cost Oba the tour,
- 1:36:00Speaker 1: put his career on the line in a third match.
- 1:36:02Speaker 1: F this booking, it all just made sense. That's why
- 1:36:09Speaker 1: I laid it out. That's why I laid it out.
- 1:36:14Speaker 1: We gotta let brocket his win back. Nico says, glad
- 1:36:20Speaker 1: I watched the Grande Americano match while I was at
- 1:36:23Speaker 1: a concert last night. Well worth it. Indeed it was Leo.
- 1:36:37Speaker 1: I'm very convinced that they have just given up on
- 1:36:39Speaker 1: the Keana and Julia breakup storyline. I'm so confused whether
- 1:36:42Speaker 1: this company sees Keana as a future world champion or not.
- 1:36:46Speaker 1: I don't know about future world champion, but I definitely
- 1:36:49Speaker 1: think they see her having a bigger upside than Julia. Also,
- 1:36:56Speaker 1: I really hope Charlotte is fighting for Keana backstage because
- 1:37:00Speaker 1: I am getting worried. Yeah, I know the two of
- 1:37:02Speaker 1: them are are good friends. I think Keano will be okay.
- 1:37:09Speaker 1: I think they'll have plans for her. Julia, I'm less
- 1:37:14Speaker 1: certain of. Jam says, like to see Lyra against EO
- 1:37:20Speaker 1: in the Queen of the Ring finals. These two have
- 1:37:22Speaker 1: such great chemistry and would probably be the best match
- 1:37:25Speaker 1: in the tournament and the women's Match of the Year contender. Yeah,
- 1:37:32Speaker 1: I wouldn't mind that with EO going over. Alexander says,
- 1:37:40Speaker 1: Gable is not on the King of the Ring either, sad. Yeah,
- 1:37:44Speaker 1: McIntyre's not in there, Orton's not in there, Batu's not
- 1:37:48Speaker 1: in there. Gable's not in there. Yeah. Death sythe says,
- 1:37:57Speaker 1: how's this for an idea? Obo wins the semi but
- 1:38:00Speaker 1: he gets taken out by Brocks so he can't make
- 1:38:02Speaker 1: it to the final and he gets replaced by Randy Orton,
- 1:38:06Speaker 1: and Randy wins King of the Ring, so Randy just
- 1:38:10Speaker 1: gets a buy right into the semi finals. I'd be
- 1:38:13Speaker 1: pissed if I were the other people in the tournament.
- 1:38:21Speaker 1: You know what I would rather see at this point
- 1:38:23Speaker 1: at Summer Slim, and we still don't know exactly where
- 1:38:25Speaker 1: he's gonna land, but I think SmackDown is the best
- 1:38:27Speaker 1: place for him. Cody Rhoads against Cmpunk, how about we
- 1:38:32Speaker 1: get behind that for your WWE Championship match at Summer
- 1:38:35Speaker 1: Slim or is there not enough time to really build
- 1:38:38Speaker 1: that up? I think there is. I'd rather see that
- 1:38:42Speaker 1: at this point. Nko says, my little sister saw back rooms.
- 1:38:51Speaker 1: In her own words, she enjoyed the first and second act.
- 1:38:54Speaker 1: The third act was an interesting choice. If you know,
- 1:38:56Speaker 1: you know, one of these days, I'm gonna go and
- 1:38:59Speaker 1: watch it. You should. It's a very good movie. Not
- 1:39:03Speaker 1: as good as Obsession, though, Philip Bowman, the vision is
- 1:39:08Speaker 1: looking like a smacked ass, The team is looking like
- 1:39:14Speaker 1: a smack that what it was that supposed to me?
- 1:39:17Speaker 1: I don't know what that means. Aaron says, wish they
- 1:39:22Speaker 1: would have made King and Queen of the Ring special
- 1:39:24Speaker 1: one night events. Yeah, but they haven't done that in years.
- 1:39:30Speaker 1: Why would you think they would change and do that now?
- 1:39:37Speaker 1: Nika Sasolo, do you enjoy the spoof and parody genre?
- 1:39:40Speaker 1: If so, do you have a favorite spoof or parody
- 1:39:42Speaker 1: movie Spaceballs? Yeah? I mean Spaceball's Airplane Naked Gun. I
- 1:39:53Speaker 1: didn't see all of the scary movies, though I think
- 1:39:55Speaker 1: I saw the first one might have been the only
- 1:39:59Speaker 1: one that I I saw them. I don't think I
- 1:40:01Speaker 1: saw any of the other ones. Chris Bars said, why
- 1:40:06Speaker 1: is the son of Dusty never involved in a Dusty finish?
- 1:40:09Speaker 1: Tonight would have been the perfect opportunity. That's a good question,
- 1:40:19Speaker 1: Asu Amy. There are only two hundred thousand people in Samoa.
- 1:40:26Speaker 1: The fact that there were seven Samoans on the screen
- 1:40:29Speaker 1: at the end of the show is wild and extremely boring.
- 1:40:32Speaker 1: At this point, the ratings in Samoa must be off
- 1:40:35Speaker 1: the hook. It's a good point. I feel like maybe
- 1:40:40Speaker 1: half the population of Samoa is actually on WWE television
- 1:40:44Speaker 1: any given week. Dried Chicken says, Triple H is a caveman?
- 1:40:55Speaker 1: Is Fred Flintstone? Sidrow, who was not a caveman, says
- 1:41:02Speaker 1: it became vegan now every meal feels like a missed steak.
- 1:41:07Speaker 1: My God, and bought a Humpty dumpty toy from all
- 1:41:12Speaker 1: the It even came with all the kings horses and
- 1:41:17Speaker 1: all the king's men. You had that one coming. That
- 1:41:28Speaker 1: one was deserved. Brock should have cheated to win. How
- 1:41:37Speaker 1: about Brock should not have won? I fixed it for you,
- 1:41:42Speaker 1: Jeremy Rose. Just like Triple Ah's booking, I'm going to
- 1:41:45Speaker 1: loop my chats Okay, Pumpkin Ryan Day with a nine
- 1:41:55Speaker 1: to ninety nine the botch Snatcher whenever Simps get off her. Look,
- 1:42:00Speaker 1: I know she hit it perfectly tonight, she nailed it tonight,
- 1:42:06Speaker 1: But you know the next time she botches it, sure
- 1:42:08Speaker 1: people are gonna jump down her throat. Jeremy Rose, this
- 1:42:13Speaker 1: shit is trash. Thanks Triple H, Bruce and ps Hayes.
- 1:42:19Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised if part of it was TKO,
- 1:42:21Speaker 1: also TKO wanting, hey, you know you need more bloodline
- 1:42:25Speaker 1: on these shows. I wouldn't be shocked if they had
- 1:42:28Speaker 1: something to do with this. The oofman says, do you
- 1:42:32Speaker 1: think Soul was messing up on purpose doing the soul
- 1:42:34Speaker 1: Snatcher all these weeks to finally hit it correctly on
- 1:42:37Speaker 1: the pl No, No, I don't, because then they would
- 1:42:45Speaker 1: have made it more of a story, because you know
- 1:42:47Speaker 1: the way WWE does things like subtlety is not their specialty.
- 1:42:52Speaker 1: They have to beat you over the head with everything.
- 1:42:54Speaker 1: They would have spelled that whole story out for you.
- 1:42:56Speaker 1: They would have been showing her botching it on replays
- 1:42:58Speaker 1: and stuff. Now she fucked it up, and tonight she didn't.
- 1:43:04Speaker 1: Hopefully she won't. Barry says in the Mask versus Mask match,
- 1:43:13Speaker 1: can you tell me who it was that did the
- 1:43:15Speaker 1: guitar hit. I haven't seen a lot of Triple A,
- 1:43:17Speaker 1: so I didn't know who that was in the story.
- 1:43:19Speaker 1: Why did they attack? I don't know who that was.
- 1:43:25Speaker 1: I don't know who that was. I knew who the
- 1:43:28Speaker 1: blind comedian was because he had been beaten up previously
- 1:43:31Speaker 1: by Gable and Pimpinella. S Carlotta. I mean, come on now,
- 1:43:37Speaker 1: I remember Pimpinella from the Luca Underground days. But yeah,
- 1:43:40Speaker 1: the person who hit him with the guitar, I don't know.
- 1:43:43Speaker 1: I don't know who that was. Jeremy says the this
- 1:43:50Speaker 1: shit is trash. Thanks Triple AH to Bruce and PSA.
- 1:43:53Speaker 1: He's looping his chats. He's staying true to what he
- 1:43:55Speaker 1: said he was gonna do. Bender mc simpson did take
- 1:44:01Speaker 1: her have any booking experience before Triple A. No, By
- 1:44:05Speaker 1: the way, I would be very curious how much of
- 1:44:10Speaker 1: this is everyone's giving Undertaker all the credit for this.
- 1:44:14Speaker 1: You know, Jeremy Borash is also involved behind the scenes,
- 1:44:17Speaker 1: and maybe it's more I feel like he's got many
- 1:44:21Speaker 1: different hats that he wears, probably production wise as well.
- 1:44:25Speaker 1: But I would not be surprised if Jeremy Borash had
- 1:44:29Speaker 1: a little something to do with the booking as well.
- 1:44:31Speaker 1: This is not all Triple Ah, is that like the
- 1:44:33Speaker 1: sole booker of Triple A. We got to start showing
- 1:44:37Speaker 1: Borash some love too. His name doesn't get mentioned enough.
- 1:44:47Speaker 1: Prince Vegeta says In One Chris Benoi and Stone Cold
- 1:44:50Speaker 1: Steve Austin had two WWF title matches. I think it
- 1:44:53Speaker 1: would have been a great moment if ben Wah won
- 1:44:55Speaker 1: one of those matches and had a short run dropping
- 1:44:58Speaker 1: it back to Austin at the King of the Ring.
- 1:45:00Speaker 1: Do you agree? No? No, Plus, it would have taken
- 1:45:08Speaker 1: away from what he eventually won the title in O four.
- 1:45:10Speaker 1: I think I think it worked out the way it
- 1:45:12Speaker 1: was supposed to. He was not He was not the
- 1:45:16Speaker 1: right person at that time to be taking the bell
- 1:45:18Speaker 1: from Austin. Nico said regarding obsession, be careful what you
- 1:45:24Speaker 1: wish for. Well, I wish for a good SmackDown last
- 1:45:26Speaker 1: night night or the other night and it didn't work.
- 1:45:29Speaker 1: I think I did it wrong. I think I must
- 1:45:30Speaker 1: have I must have used my one wish Willow incorrectly.
- 1:45:35Speaker 1: So but it's okay though, because I have another one
- 1:45:36Speaker 1: that's being delivered to me, so I think it's coming
- 1:45:40Speaker 1: not this week but next week, so I'll get to
- 1:45:42Speaker 1: try again. Also, he says, anytime I see Tallatanga on TV,
- 1:45:49Speaker 1: I chuckle and say, hey, I went to high school
- 1:45:52Speaker 1: with that dude. Did you really was he as tall
- 1:45:56Speaker 1: in high school as he is? Now? Oh? Was it Pimpinella? Who? Uh?
- 1:46:04Speaker 1: All right it was it was? Are you trying to
- 1:46:07Speaker 1: say it was Pimpinella who hit Gable with the guitar? Show?
- 1:46:10Speaker 1: Was it was it Pimpanella? Maybe it was? Ah, Okay,
- 1:46:14Speaker 1: so it was Pimpinella who hit him with the guitar.
- 1:46:16Speaker 1: So then I do know who it was. That's right.
- 1:46:20Speaker 1: He was disguised, all right, So it was Pimpinella as Carlata,
- 1:46:24Speaker 1: one of the great exotic goes in Lucha libre. Alright,
- 1:46:31Speaker 1: Jeremy Rose, this shit is trash. Thanks Triple Ah for
- 1:46:33Speaker 1: Bruce Mpsas Alexander says, the spirit of Tangaloa lives on
- 1:46:39Speaker 1: in BFAB telling you man, you did one job one
- 1:46:47Speaker 1: anti m Bishop watching the Triple A show, great effort.
- 1:46:51Speaker 1: Why are we getting blood line? Mft reducts, h Og
- 1:46:56Speaker 1: needs to come to Houston soon, Go, Spurs go. There's
- 1:47:01Speaker 1: gonna be some there's gonna be some heartbreak coming to
- 1:47:04Speaker 1: h town. I'm sorry to say We'll be in Houston
- 1:47:09Speaker 1: at some point. I definitely have had conversations about that.
- 1:47:15Speaker 1: The Uffman says, what inning are we at with the bloodline?
- 1:47:18Speaker 1: I believe it is the top of the fourth Beace
- 1:47:23Speaker 1: Beer says sixth inning. If we're being on no, no, no,
- 1:47:25Speaker 1: top of the fourth, we still got a waste to go.
- 1:47:29Speaker 1: Aaron says, buy or sell, Paulovec, Vince Russo, don't do
- 1:47:32Speaker 1: this to me. Don't do this to me. David says
- 1:47:39Speaker 1: trash in Italy. I hated every single booking decision on
- 1:47:42Speaker 1: this show. Jacob should have won Roman without his Island
- 1:47:45Speaker 1: is better than reheated stale bs. The booking on this
- 1:47:49Speaker 1: show is very questionable. Pumpkin, Ryan Day, you think you're
- 1:47:57Speaker 1: leaving without hitting your goal? Well apparently not. Apparently not,
- 1:48:02Speaker 1: thank you, Roy Ryan feeding into the goal here. Terry
- 1:48:10Speaker 1: Funk you know that's true. Actually, the old Terry Funk
- 1:48:13Speaker 1: quote applies perfectly to the blood Life Forever, forever, forever.
- 1:48:20Speaker 1: How long will this Bloodline story go on? For forever?
- 1:48:26Speaker 1: Bass Bears? I miss seven. I miss seven of the
- 1:48:30Speaker 1: eight matches plus segments on pay per view. Even if
- 1:48:33Speaker 1: short Brother, I think we all do, even six matches
- 1:48:37Speaker 1: would be welcome. I don't need ten matches on a card,
- 1:48:40Speaker 1: But fucking it's ridiculous. I mean, five matches on every
- 1:48:44Speaker 1: show and they're charging some people thirty bucks for this stuff?
- 1:48:48Speaker 1: Are you fucking kidding me? And they're given the first
- 1:48:50Speaker 1: hour away on ESPN? What are we doing here? Uh? Pumpkin,
- 1:48:57Speaker 1: Ryan Day, not on this Pumpkins watch. Appreciate you man.
- 1:49:04Speaker 1: He pushed us, He pushed us to that goal. Thank you, Ryan,
- 1:49:08Speaker 1: Tone C with a ten no message, just showing love.
- 1:49:11Speaker 1: Thank you, Tone C, M and M two hundred one
- 1:49:15Speaker 1: eighty three. What's better than Cody versus gun thre double
- 1:49:18Speaker 1: be the Booker'd be kind of funny if we actually
- 1:49:22Speaker 1: landed on Cody versus Gun through in our main event.
- 1:49:29Speaker 1: We got big Kine twenty three. Can't understand why they
- 1:49:33Speaker 1: buried Jade. We already saw rha Verse Charlotte and they
- 1:49:36Speaker 1: need to bring back tom alaw Well, you mean Tongolo,
- 1:49:41Speaker 1: Barry Jade. Jade'll be fine. Jade had her run and
- 1:49:44Speaker 1: it was time for the title to come off for her.
- 1:49:48Speaker 1: I'm not going to cry over the end of Jade
- 1:49:50Speaker 1: Cargill's title run. When is ESPN Unlimited being integrated into
- 1:49:56Speaker 1: YouTube TV supposedly not until the fall. It's ridiculous. Hey, Jeremy,
- 1:50:07Speaker 1: thank you be man. The champ Roman leads o G
- 1:50:10Speaker 1: Bloodline FA Too Bloodline Wolfpack with what like Solo's crew.
- 1:50:19Speaker 1: Jacob's going to go back and usurp Solo is the leader?
- 1:50:25Speaker 1: Is that really going to be radically different? Mike with
- 1:50:31Speaker 1: a ten dollars super chat. Everybody's saying Oba needed to
- 1:50:34Speaker 1: lose because being too dominant would hurt him long term. However,
- 1:50:38Speaker 1: Braun has destroyed Seth since Mania and it hasn't hurt
- 1:50:41Speaker 1: Braun just saying that's one of the reasons why I
- 1:50:46Speaker 1: could see Rollins and Breaker in the finals. Honestly, with
- 1:50:49Speaker 1: Rollin's getting his win back, I think there's a very
- 1:50:54Speaker 1: good chance of that. Pumpkin, Ryan Day Blair Witch cost
- 1:51:01Speaker 1: an estimated thirty thousand to sixty thousand and made two
- 1:51:05Speaker 1: hundred and forty eight million. All right, well, obsession. If
- 1:51:10Speaker 1: it adds fifty million more, I think that'll be even
- 1:51:14Speaker 1: more impressive. Was it really only sixty thousand dollars for
- 1:51:18Speaker 1: Blair Witch? I mean, I guess they didn't really have
- 1:51:22Speaker 1: to worry about different set pieces or anything. Right, it's
- 1:51:25Speaker 1: pretty much the same shed over and over again, super pony.
- 1:51:33Speaker 1: Roman wins, Jacob falls in love or fall falls in love.
- 1:51:41Speaker 1: You know Italy is a very romantic country. Ah, let
- 1:51:46Speaker 1: me try that again. Roman wins, Jacob falls in line,
- 1:51:50Speaker 1: not falls in love. What year is it? I could
- 1:51:53Speaker 1: have sworn it was twenty twenty six. I could have
- 1:51:57Speaker 1: sworn it was twenty twenty six. But maybe it's twenty
- 1:52:02Speaker 1: twenty one. But let's stop complaining and let it play out. Lol.
- 1:52:06Speaker 1: Yes lol. Indeed, that would certainly be a different spin
- 1:52:11Speaker 1: on the storyline if Jacob fought to ends up falling
- 1:52:14Speaker 1: in love with Roman reigns. See, that's a different type
- 1:52:18Speaker 1: of bloodline story that I don't think that we're really
- 1:52:20Speaker 1: prepared for. It's not really the story I'm looking for here.
- 1:52:28Speaker 1: Death syth If they insist on doing brock Oba at SummerSlam.
- 1:52:34Speaker 1: Here's an idea. They face each other on night one
- 1:52:38Speaker 1: and the winner faces Roman for the world title on
- 1:52:41Speaker 1: night two, and it makes Oba look like a bigger
- 1:52:44Speaker 1: star than before. You know, even the teas of another
- 1:52:51Speaker 1: Brock and Roman match sends a shiver down my spine.
- 1:53:03Speaker 1: It's an interesting idea. They're not going to do it.
- 1:53:08Speaker 1: I definitely, you know, expect that they are going to
- 1:53:12Speaker 1: want to have a Roman reign's main event to promote
- 1:53:15Speaker 1: weeks in events. And again, we may have Roman's opponent
- 1:53:18Speaker 1: solidified in the King of the Ring and it may
- 1:53:20Speaker 1: not even matter. So it's an interesting It's an interesting thought,
- 1:53:25Speaker 1: but not one that I see them doing. Oh we
- 1:53:29Speaker 1: got Miles Woods. Thank god for alternative wrestling promotions. Always
- 1:53:37Speaker 1: good to have competition retro koh unrelated because I was
- 1:53:44Speaker 1: absent on Friday. Can we refer to Trick Williams as
- 1:53:46Speaker 1: a champion named Trick back after that backhand? Yeah, he
- 1:53:51Speaker 1: backhanded the shit out of Ricky stains be Man the champ.
- 1:53:56Speaker 1: I miss Jeremy Borash doing ring announcing Man was a
- 1:53:58Speaker 1: highlight of old TNA papers. Made the main events feel huge.
- 1:54:04Speaker 1: He did Anti m Bishop says Mets are better than WWE. Well,
- 1:54:11Speaker 1: I mean, let's not get carried away. Now, Let's not
- 1:54:15Speaker 1: get carried away now, Devin says, why is Triple H,
- 1:54:21Speaker 1: one of the greatest heels in company history now afraid
- 1:54:26Speaker 1: of being booed at these post show panels. Yeah, he's
- 1:54:29Speaker 1: terrified of going out there now in front of the people.
- 1:54:33Speaker 1: I don't think they brought him out in front of
- 1:54:35Speaker 1: the fans, did they. He's he's been running scared. He's
- 1:54:42Speaker 1: been interviewed in the back by like Kathy Kelly at
- 1:54:44Speaker 1: some of these things. He refuses to go out in
- 1:54:46Speaker 1: front of the people. I figure maybe in front of
- 1:54:52Speaker 1: these Italy fans he would pop out there. But according
- 1:54:55Speaker 1: to Devon, I guess not Vontelle biggest political power or
- 1:55:00Speaker 1: Roman Triple H or Hogan. Hogan is just I mean,
- 1:55:03Speaker 1: Hogan is that he will forever be the king of that.
- 1:55:10Speaker 1: The man who had creative control in his contract can't
- 1:55:13Speaker 1: beat that. Hogan will always be the master. You know
- 1:55:16Speaker 1: who found out about that, Shawn Michaels. Even Shawn Michaels
- 1:55:21Speaker 1: cannot out politic the great Hulk Hogan. But I would
- 1:55:25Speaker 1: say Triple H is a close second. Jeremy says, you
- 1:55:30Speaker 1: like how they put half the roster in seats just
- 1:55:33Speaker 1: to get on the show but can't book more matches. Yeah,
- 1:55:37Speaker 1: they flew them out there, but they couldn't get them
- 1:55:38Speaker 1: in the ring. Link master X. I'm paying thirty dollars
- 1:55:45Speaker 1: for pay per views and I get ads. Why you're
- 1:55:50Speaker 1: asking the wrong person? I don't know you don't enjoy
- 1:55:57Speaker 1: your big ad breaks in between all the matches. Jeremy says,
- 1:56:03Speaker 1: I love you Solo will be back by the end
- 1:56:06Speaker 1: of the year. I think I love you Solo will
- 1:56:10Speaker 1: be back by the end of the week. At this point,
- 1:56:14Speaker 1: fucking Jacob behind the scene, one says was Austin Wright
- 1:56:20Speaker 1: for not jobbing to Brock in two uh yes and no,
- 1:56:30Speaker 1: yes and no. His rationale for not wanting to do
- 1:56:33Speaker 1: the job for Brock. He was one hundred percent correct.
- 1:56:36Speaker 1: It was a stupid idea. Him walking out and taking
- 1:56:42Speaker 1: it as far as he did. That was not the
- 1:56:44Speaker 1: right move to make. But I think him not wanting
- 1:56:49Speaker 1: to job to Brock because it was an advertised it
- 1:56:52Speaker 1: was a King of the Ring qualifying match on a
- 1:56:54Speaker 1: random TV show, and feeling like there was money to
- 1:56:58Speaker 1: be made with them in main events on a pay
- 1:56:59Speaker 1: per view. He's one hundred correct, you know, but you
- 1:57:04Speaker 1: don't pack your bag and go to the airport and
- 1:57:06Speaker 1: fly home. Aaron says, wwe is doing Live versus EO
- 1:57:13Speaker 1: versus Soul in a title match on house shows and
- 1:57:16Speaker 1: instead have Live in the crowd on the plees. It's
- 1:57:19Speaker 1: like they want to keep the show's average. I Love
- 1:57:25Speaker 1: You Roman, Yeah, we might get I Love You Roman
- 1:57:27Speaker 1: tomorrow night or tomorrow afternoon. I'm sorry, Bender mc simpson.
- 1:57:36Speaker 1: Mass versus Mask was great, but the two second delay
- 1:57:38Speaker 1: on commentary reacting and calling moves was quite annoying. Yeah,
- 1:57:42Speaker 1: I'm gonna get into that on Tuesday. That was the
- 1:57:45Speaker 1: one blight on the show for me. That was like,
- 1:57:50Speaker 1: that was a real issue and I just don't understand.
- 1:57:56Speaker 1: I mean, I understand Corey Graves was was there in Italy.
- 1:57:59Speaker 1: He was calling the show here with Michael Cole, So
- 1:58:03Speaker 1: I guess maybe for him to be live in Mexico
- 1:58:05Speaker 1: and Monterey and then have to fly for an afternoon show, oh,
- 1:58:09Speaker 1: I mean, it was a nighttime show in Italy, but
- 1:58:12Speaker 1: logistically maybe that was impossible. But then get Wade Barrett
- 1:58:15Speaker 1: to do the show here with Michael Cole, like, there
- 1:58:18Speaker 1: was no reason for your announcers on a big show
- 1:58:20Speaker 1: like this to not be there live in the arena.
- 1:58:24Speaker 1: I thought that was a huge mistake. Pumpkin, Ryan Day
- 1:58:31Speaker 1: Jade couldn't sell a dollar snow cone to a resident
- 1:58:34Speaker 1: of Hell. We okay, and Jaba Femi lost to Timu
- 1:58:42Speaker 1: Rock's Timu Rock Saints and Toni Spaghettio. Let's quit acting
- 1:58:47Speaker 1: like he's unbeatable. Go Brock go, Yeah, Brock's going home
- 1:58:51Speaker 1: in a few months. Brock's gonna be done momentarily. It's
- 1:58:59Speaker 1: time to ship Brock off into the sunset. We got
- 1:59:05Speaker 1: the Pats number one fan MFT and Bloodlines merge like
- 1:59:09Speaker 1: the nWo Elite in ninety nine. That sounds absolutely deplorable.
- 1:59:18Speaker 1: Bender mcsimpson. Who was the better commentator when it comes
- 1:59:20Speaker 1: to not knowing the names of moves, Vince McMahon or
- 1:59:23Speaker 1: Eric Bischoff. Oh, it's Vince McMahon. It's not even close.
- 1:59:29Speaker 1: Vince McMahon was just objectively a better announcer in every
- 1:59:33Speaker 1: way than Eric Bischoff. Like, it's I don't like I'm
- 1:59:36Speaker 1: offended that that's even a question. God Phoenix sixty six
- 1:59:43Speaker 1: can we let Hulk Hogan. Can we let Hulk Hogan
- 1:59:47Speaker 1: rest in peace? Please? Who's not letting Hulk Hogan rest
- 1:59:52Speaker 1: in peace? I don't know. Why don't you tell that
- 1:59:57Speaker 1: to Netflix? They did a whole four part documentary on him.
- 2:00:00Speaker 1: So guess what people are going to have opinions on it.
- 2:00:04Speaker 1: You don't like it too bad? Uh, super Pony, imagine
- 2:00:10Speaker 1: Ko is ready to come back. He's excited. He says,
- 2:00:13Speaker 1: what plans do you have for me? A feud with
- 2:00:16Speaker 1: Punk maybe? Or a world title run? They say, how
- 2:00:21Speaker 1: about Bloodline? Again? He says, I'm good. My next still hurts.
- 2:00:25Speaker 1: I saw his tweet earlier, he says, I miss wrestling,
- 2:00:29Speaker 1: So I tweeted him back. I said, well wrestling missus
- 2:00:31Speaker 1: you We could certainly use him on SmackDown right now?
- 2:00:37Speaker 1: Oh thank you, super Pony. And I think that we
- 2:00:41Speaker 1: are all caught up now. I do believe that we
- 2:00:44Speaker 1: are all caught up for now. Now. The likes goal,
- 2:00:49Speaker 1: I just got to show we smashed it. But I
- 2:00:51Speaker 1: just got to show you guys. It was five hundred
- 2:00:53Speaker 1: and fifteen likes. We are currently sitting at eight hundred
- 2:00:55Speaker 1: and forty three. You know, this is kind of like
- 2:01:00Speaker 1: obsession where it was made like on a very low budget,
- 2:01:03Speaker 1: but then it just completely blew past all expectations. The
- 2:01:07Speaker 1: goal was five point fifteen. Is it possible that we
- 2:01:09Speaker 1: could hit a thousand likes before we get out of here?
- 2:01:13Speaker 1: Is that possible? We have seventeen hundred people still here,
- 2:01:16Speaker 1: so I would say it is very much possible. Reekinson,
- 2:01:22Speaker 1: what's going on? Man? Fifty four months? He's a sound
- 2:01:24Speaker 1: of legend. Did you ever listen to sneaker Pimps? I
- 2:01:29Speaker 1: don't know what that is, so I'm gonna say no
- 2:01:34Speaker 1: because I feel like I would remember that name if
- 2:01:37Speaker 1: I knew what that was. So while you guys marinate
- 2:01:42Speaker 1: on that, you've got a couple of rounds to be
- 2:01:44Speaker 1: the booker coming your way. So let's get to it.
- 2:01:47Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen, it is now time to be the booker.
- 2:01:54Speaker 1: Let's do it clash in Italy. Can we book a
- 2:02:01Speaker 1: better card than Paul of K I think we can.
- 2:02:09Speaker 1: I'm gonna do a Paul of VEC didn't have the
- 2:02:11Speaker 1: balls to do tonight. I'm gonna book a tag team match.
- 2:02:14Speaker 1: At least I have a division. I didn't say it
- 2:02:19Speaker 1: was a great one, but I did say I have
- 2:02:21Speaker 1: a division. Uh too cool? Too cool was very popular
- 2:02:25Speaker 1: once upon a time, Grandmaster sex A and Scottie too Hottie.
- 2:02:32Speaker 1: They are going to be booked against who? What does
- 2:02:35Speaker 1: our tag team match here be? The booker is over
- 2:02:40Speaker 1: after the Wyat six massacred A man, oh, no ah, No,
- 2:02:53Speaker 1: I don't believe it. I don't believe it. I don't
- 2:02:59Speaker 1: believe it. The Wyat six has massacred the entire roster.
- 2:03:11Speaker 1: A man, boy, I'll tell you what though, I'll tell
- 2:03:21Speaker 1: you what. Well, First of all, that answers the question
- 2:03:25Speaker 1: of can we book a better card than Paulovac. What
- 2:03:31Speaker 1: I was gonna say is the good thing is that
- 2:03:33Speaker 1: you guys unlocked a bonus round and this does not
- 2:03:37Speaker 1: affect the bonus round. It does affect this round. This
- 2:03:41Speaker 1: round is out the window. However, we do have a
- 2:03:46Speaker 1: bonus round, so we will we will move on to
- 2:03:49Speaker 1: the bonus round. I can't do that to you. I can't.
- 2:03:53Speaker 1: I can't. We can't lose both rounds. But these are
- 2:03:56Speaker 1: the rules. Though. You know, when you land on that,
- 2:03:59Speaker 1: it's over. That's it. We've got a couple of those
- 2:04:02Speaker 1: in there. Okay, Well, onto the stipulations we go hopefully
- 2:04:08Speaker 1: we'll stay away from that. There we go. Anarchy in
- 2:04:16Speaker 1: the arena. We just had one of these. We just
- 2:04:18Speaker 1: had stadium stampede last week. Anarchy in the arena. That
- 2:04:22Speaker 1: means I have to book five on Oh my god. Wait,
- 2:04:26Speaker 1: oh man, all right, well, here's what we're gonna do.
- 2:04:29Speaker 1: We're gonna keep We're gonna keep it to five on.
- 2:04:30Speaker 1: So we're making up for the round we just lost.
- 2:04:33Speaker 1: Because now I got a book, a five on five
- 2:04:35Speaker 1: anarchy in the arena match, and we're gonna go to
- 2:04:40Speaker 1: the men. Oh boy, five on five. All right, pull
- 2:04:45Speaker 1: your pencils out, everybody. I need you to keep track
- 2:04:47Speaker 1: of these teams in case I forget Anarchy in the
- 2:04:53Speaker 1: arena Team number one? Are you fucking Oh my god,
- 2:05:10Speaker 1: Oh my god, you have got to be shitting me.
- 2:05:22Speaker 1: You have got to be shitting me. This cannot this
- 2:05:28Speaker 1: cannot be real. This that did not just happen. Tell
- 2:05:35Speaker 1: me that did not just happen. I can't. I can't
- 2:05:43Speaker 1: believe that. How can I How can I do that
- 2:05:48Speaker 1: to you guys? How can I do that to you guys?
- 2:05:55Speaker 1: We can't, we can't do this. I cannot allow this
- 2:05:59Speaker 1: to stand. I cannot allow this to stand. So I'll
- 2:06:05Speaker 1: tell you what I'm gonna do. We're gonna start this
- 2:06:09Speaker 1: round over again, because that is impossible. That is impossible
- 2:06:15Speaker 1: for that to happen. Do you know how many options
- 2:06:20Speaker 1: are in these things? Dozens, hundreds. The fact that we
- 2:06:26Speaker 1: landed on that twice is literally unbelievable. We're gonna start over.
- 2:06:33Speaker 1: We lost anarchy in the arena. I am bound and
- 2:06:36Speaker 1: determined to give you this round that you unlocked. We
- 2:06:43Speaker 1: go from anarchy in the arena to kennel from Hell?
- 2:06:46Speaker 1: Are you kidding me? We made it worse. We actually
- 2:06:52Speaker 1: made it worse. We have a Kennel from Hell match
- 2:07:00Speaker 1: with the Nature Boy Rick Flair. By do I have
- 2:07:05Speaker 1: a segment on him coming up on the Young Crown
- 2:07:08Speaker 1: Wrestling Show on Tuesday. Ric Flair is going to be
- 2:07:13Speaker 1: in Kennel from Hell though, and he's going to be
- 2:07:23Speaker 1: wrestling Malachi Black in a kennel from Helma. It's kennel
- 2:07:30Speaker 1: from Hell. Take two. Two great wrestlers like this, they
- 2:07:37Speaker 1: deserve more than kennel from Hell. I can't give that
- 2:07:40Speaker 1: the bell. I can't do that. Well, only it's only
- 2:07:47Speaker 1: up from here, right, brawl for all? We go from
- 2:07:51Speaker 1: Kennel from this is this is like an Attitude era
- 2:07:53Speaker 1: edition to be the booker here we go from Kennel
- 2:07:55Speaker 1: from Hell to Brawl for All. It's like it's gonna
- 2:08:00Speaker 1: be in all mens, be the booker here because I
- 2:08:04Speaker 1: cannot in good conscience allow the ladies to go into
- 2:08:07Speaker 1: Bra for All. We have tired Mike Tyson. It's over
- 2:08:18Speaker 1: like it. It's fucking Bra for All. It doesn't matter
- 2:08:21Speaker 1: who was on the other side of the ring with him.
- 2:08:23Speaker 1: That person is done and they're dead. It's over fucking
- 2:08:26Speaker 1: Mike Tyson in Bral for All. I don't want to
- 2:08:29Speaker 1: be in the ring with him, even if he is
- 2:08:33Speaker 1: tired and yawning. Who's Mike Tyson knocking out androde l
- 2:08:41Speaker 1: Ideloh hey, you know what? That couldn't be a fun one. Androtte, Look, Androtti,
- 2:08:48Speaker 1: he didn he punch out or sucker punch Sammy Gavara
- 2:08:51Speaker 1: wants backstage. He's still gonna lose, but I think Androte
- 2:08:57Speaker 1: might put up an interesting fight. Some of these matches
- 2:09:01Speaker 1: are just unbelievable. Oh God, it gets worse. How what
- 2:09:07Speaker 1: is going on tonight? Kennell from Hell to Brawl for
- 2:09:12Speaker 1: All to a Yappa Pie strap match. This is when
- 2:09:16Speaker 1: hul Cogan cut that promo on Rick Flair talked about
- 2:09:19Speaker 1: and I quote the strapation. Get ready for the strapation?
- 2:09:24Speaker 1: Are you ready to? Are you ready for the strapation?
- 2:09:27Speaker 1: From hul Cogan? These matches are horrible, absolutely horrible. I
- 2:09:36Speaker 1: don't know what's going on here. I really don't. Am
- 2:09:41Speaker 1: I cursed by Dan House? I don't. I don't think
- 2:09:43Speaker 1: I'm cursed by Dan Holsen. I think be the Booker's
- 2:09:45Speaker 1: been cursed by Dan Holsen. All right, a Yappa Pie
- 2:09:50Speaker 1: strap match. That's it. We've that's it, We've We've just
- 2:10:01Speaker 1: gone completely off the rails. I don't. I don't even know.
- 2:10:05Speaker 1: I don't even know what else to say. Every time
- 2:10:08Speaker 1: I say that it can't possibly get any worse, it
- 2:10:10Speaker 1: has progressively gotten worse. We we just got done talking
- 2:10:15Speaker 1: about Hulk Hogan and the Strapation and we land on
- 2:10:20Speaker 1: gangrel is watching you masturbate spin again. Look at the
- 2:10:25Speaker 1: look on this man. Look at the look on this
- 2:10:26Speaker 1: man's face. What is this? What is this? Be the Booker?
- 2:10:34Speaker 1: What is happening here? How did we get here? Hogan
- 2:10:46Speaker 1: in the strap match? And again, stop watching me? Why
- 2:10:55Speaker 1: are you watching me? It's that face gangrel Stop, you
- 2:11:10Speaker 1: have a problem, you need help. Oh, try again, he's
- 2:11:23Speaker 1: out of control, he really is. Okay, curd Angle and Hulkogan.
- 2:11:32Speaker 1: Fuck it, finally, way decent match here. Oh my God,
- 2:11:37Speaker 1: get me out of here, please enough. That's the worst.
- 2:11:41Speaker 1: That is the worst Be the Booker we've ever done.
- 2:11:44Speaker 1: It was just one disaster after another. It just somehow
- 2:11:47Speaker 1: it kept getting worse. But I couldn't. I couldn't, you know,
- 2:11:52Speaker 1: once we unlocked that second goal. I couldn't take that
- 2:11:54Speaker 1: second round away from you guys, even though I should have,
- 2:11:58Speaker 1: per the rules, but I couldn't do that to you. Well,
- 2:12:03Speaker 1: that was one for the books. I'll say that last
- 2:12:06Speaker 1: few super cheats here, Jeremy says, do you think Hayman
- 2:12:11Speaker 1: would book better than Triple H? Yes? Q Dog sixty
- 2:12:17Speaker 1: months of channel membership, a new reason to hate, the
- 2:12:21Speaker 1: new reason to hate the Wyatt six. Now they're still
- 2:12:25Speaker 1: in there. They're still in there. One of these days
- 2:12:30Speaker 1: they're going to cost you an entire be the Booker again.
- 2:12:34Speaker 1: We have never landed on that twice in a row though.
- 2:12:36Speaker 1: That is a first. That is the first time that's
- 2:12:40Speaker 1: ever happened. Maybe forty one eighty one while things got
- 2:12:45Speaker 1: hot and heavy in the elevator for Kaiser and his woman,
- 2:12:49Speaker 1: the other guy should have played Mark Henry's old love
- 2:12:51Speaker 1: theme on his phone. I think things got a little
- 2:12:56Speaker 1: hot and heavy in that last round of Be the
- 2:12:57Speaker 1: Booker There, Eric says, joining the stream just now? Was jarring?
- 2:13:06Speaker 1: Was it was? It was a gangrel watching you? Is
- 2:13:08Speaker 1: that with it naked naked dried chickens as Triple h
- 2:13:12Speaker 1: is using voodoo magic? Be the Booker Death sith, what
- 2:13:17Speaker 1: do you think of Batista scene of brock and Orton
- 2:13:20Speaker 1: being inducted into the Hall of Fame in the same year.
- 2:13:23Speaker 1: It would make sense since they are the class of
- 2:13:25Speaker 1: O two. Uh, that's not gonna happen because WWE is
- 2:13:32Speaker 1: not going to put that many big names in in
- 2:13:34Speaker 1: one class. You know, there's only so many names left,
- 2:13:37Speaker 1: big names left to go in, and so they're going
- 2:13:40Speaker 1: to want to divide that up, so there's no way
- 2:13:43Speaker 1: they're going to put them all in together. They got
- 2:13:47Speaker 1: Mega X zero forever have you seen Mask versus Mask?
- 2:13:50Speaker 1: Miss p l E had a family emergency. Thank you
- 2:13:53Speaker 1: for the podcast. They helped a lot today. Well hopefully
- 2:13:55Speaker 1: it wasn't anything too serious. I did see Mask versus Mask,
- 2:13:59Speaker 1: and I will be reviewing it and commenting on the
- 2:14:02Speaker 1: on Crowned Wrestling Show on Tuesday. I would have commented
- 2:14:06Speaker 1: on it on the sound Off today, however, because of
- 2:14:09Speaker 1: this fucking ple I had to get the sound off
- 2:14:11Speaker 1: up a day early, and so I saw the Triple
- 2:14:14Speaker 1: A show after the fact. But that's the beauty of
- 2:14:16Speaker 1: having two podcasts now in one week. I could comment
- 2:14:18Speaker 1: on it on the next show, and we got Ray
- 2:14:22Speaker 1: Kwan with a dollar ninety nine. Jacob will be Roman's butler,
- 2:14:26Speaker 1: like on Seinfeld's what I said the other day. I
- 2:14:29Speaker 1: mentioned that the other day, I mentioned when George got
- 2:14:33Speaker 1: in that car accident and he had to be that
- 2:14:35Speaker 1: guy's butler. It's basically what the storyline is. So Tomorrow Tomorrow,
- 2:14:44Speaker 1: Raw airs at two pm on Netflix, and if you dare,
- 2:14:49Speaker 1: I may have scared some people off here tonight, but
- 2:14:52Speaker 1: I'll be live again about eight pm Eastern, just like
- 2:14:54Speaker 1: tonight for the Raw recap tomorrow, since there's no need
- 2:14:58Speaker 1: to wait to go live until eleven o'clock. And so
- 2:15:01Speaker 1: that'll be tomorrow, and then yes, there'll be a brand
- 2:15:04Speaker 1: new episode of The Uncrowned Wrestling Show dropping on Tuesday
- 2:15:09Speaker 1: on its own again. It's got its own dedicated podcast feed,
- 2:15:12Speaker 1: or you can get it if you're sub to the
- 2:15:14Speaker 1: aerial hell Wani show feed for his audio podcast. It's
- 2:15:18Speaker 1: posted there as well. And then we got Tuesday Night
- 2:15:21Speaker 1: TNT with myself and JD Tuesday Night Titans. We have
- 2:15:24Speaker 1: the Dynamite post show this week. We got SmackDown Post
- 2:15:28Speaker 1: Italy which is in Italy on Friday, and that will
- 2:15:32Speaker 1: also very likely be an earlier stream, just like it
- 2:15:36Speaker 1: was this past Friday. Cause again this month there's a
- 2:15:39Speaker 1: lot of international dates, so just keep that in mind.
- 2:15:42Speaker 1: A lot of these streams will probably end up being
- 2:15:45Speaker 1: two or three hours earlier than usual. I won't be
- 2:15:49Speaker 1: going live immediately after the shows, but probably around eight
- 2:15:54Speaker 1: eight thirty ish is one you can expect to see
- 2:15:57Speaker 1: me live, So just make sure you're sub to the
- 2:15:59Speaker 1: channel notification bell is turned on and that way you
- 2:16:03Speaker 1: won't miss a thing. So thank you, guys. I hope
- 2:16:06Speaker 1: I entertained you here for these two and a half
- 2:16:09Speaker 1: hours or so, maybe more so than wwe did. Go
- 2:16:13Speaker 1: check out the sound off from yesterday. Be well, stay safe,
- 2:16:15Speaker 1: have yourselves a great rest of your night, and I
- 2:16:19Speaker 1: will try to shake off some horrible images that we
- 2:16:22Speaker 1: had there and be the booker, and we'll come back
- 2:16:23Speaker 1: and do it again tomorrow. Until then, take care, guys,
