• 4:18
  Speaker 10: I think there's one thing we can all agree on,
• 4:21
  Speaker 10: and that's they got to stop showing Pentive without his
• 4:24
  Speaker 10: makeup and his full gimmick on, because he just looks
• 4:26
  Speaker 10: fucking weird with just a mask on.
• 4:28
  Speaker 6: Ah, dude, doesn't he? I agree?
• 4:32
  Speaker 11: Man?
• 4:33
  Speaker 9: It's could be all the way or nothing, like, yeah,
• 4:36
  Speaker 9: fucking weird without the whole gimmick on.
• 4:39
  Speaker 6: Yep, it's very true. Man without the contacts, without the
• 4:41
  Speaker 6: makeup on, Yeah, he looks very weird. No, you sit
• 4:45
  Speaker 6: in that chair and you spend the next hour and
• 4:47
  Speaker 6: a half of playing makeup. You know, for my pleasure
• 4:51
  Speaker 6: dance monkey.
• 4:52
  Speaker 9: It must take it must take him fucking forever to
• 4:55
  Speaker 9: get ready, you know, between the makeup and the contacts
• 4:57
  Speaker 9: and the mask, and then he's got u like, he's
• 5:00
  Speaker 9: got a shirt and pants, and then he's got this
• 5:02
  Speaker 9: thing around his waist and he's got glumbs, and he's
• 5:04
  Speaker 9: got kick pads, and it's just like, what's.
• 5:07
  Speaker 5: Gonna have the fucking day getting ready? Oh?
• 5:09
  Speaker 6: Yeah, man, I always thought the same about the Ultimate Warrior,
• 5:12
  Speaker 6: you know, I was like, oh my God, must take
• 5:14
  Speaker 6: forever for this man to get ready, just to and
• 5:17
  Speaker 6: then just the runouts of the ring, you know, just
• 5:20
  Speaker 6: be fucking winded.
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: He has all that work just for five minutes of work.
• 5:26
  Speaker 6: Yeah, you want to know, you want to talk about
• 5:27
  Speaker 6: a guy who did that for years? Gold Dust, you
• 5:31
  Speaker 6: fly all the way over here, you'd ply that makeup
• 5:33
  Speaker 6: you get in this jumpsuit and we'll have you on
• 5:36
  Speaker 6: screen backstage for like thirty seconds.
• 5:39
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: Well, I mean, if we're being honest at this point,
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: I would say probably the king of that ship is
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: probably I'd probably have to say Sting. Oh thing's been
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: doing it since the eighties and he's still doing it
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: to this day, although he's about to finally hang up
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: the face paint. I think right now all the appearances
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: he's doing now are part of his basically, uh, farewell
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: tour of sorts to the face paint. Yeah, and after
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: this he'll he'll probably still obviously be making con appearances
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: and stuff, but when you see him, you'll be seeing
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: Steve Borden, not Stinging and depending all that.
• 6:25
  Speaker 6: Hmmm, that's pretty very true, man, I didn't even think
• 6:29
  Speaker 6: about that. But no, you're right, dude, Susan says, sound like, yep, yep, probably. Yeah.
• 6:37
  Speaker 9: Actually, I got a bunch of I but Mooda doesn't
• 6:40
  Speaker 9: even do it anymore.
• 6:41
  Speaker 5: I don't think it. He's fucking retired anyway.
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and after a while Mooda trans transitions. Yeah.
• 6:48
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Yeah, he's the only person I can't think of it.
• 6:52
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean, everybody else, every other paint face painter
• 6:55
  Speaker 9: is either relatively new or no longer win us SO thaying,
• 7:01
  Speaker 9: I suppose is the king of the face pant Yeah.
• 7:05
  Speaker 6: Yeah, they used to put on face pavement doesn't anymore.
• 7:08
  Speaker 6: It's the usso's They used to apply face past. Yeah,
• 7:13
  Speaker 6: at one point they used to come out and do
• 7:16
  Speaker 6: their samo and dance. Actually remember that entrance way back when,
• 7:23
  Speaker 6: way way back when.
• 7:25
  Speaker 5: Yeah, they've been around for a minute.
• 7:28
  Speaker 9: They're kind of like they're kind of sneakily have been.
• 7:30
  Speaker 5: Around for fifteen years or whatever it is.
• 7:33
  Speaker 6: I know, sneakily.
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: Right, they're both approaching their forties, if not already in
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: their forties.
• 7:40
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I think they're starting nine. Yeah. Yes, In other words,
• 7:45
  Speaker 5: you're absolutely right.
• 7:51
  Speaker 6: I got a couple of news things articles we can
• 7:53
  Speaker 6: go over, guys, news bumper.
• 8:00
  Speaker 12: Steam, Well, I got news for you.
• 8:14
  Speaker 6: News.
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: Mm hmmm.
• 8:21
  Speaker 6: We'll start off with we'll go from small and we'll
• 8:23
  Speaker 6: work our way up.
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 8:26
  Speaker 6: Summer Ray has tweeted that she may be hinting up
• 8:30
  Speaker 6: coming back. Do you guys remember Summer Ray?
• 8:34
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 8:34
  Speaker 13: Do you miss Summer Ray?
• 8:39
  Speaker 6: Maybe if we had like if we had like, you know,
• 8:43
  Speaker 6: bra and panties matches, Yes, of course, bring Summer Ray back,
• 8:46
  Speaker 6: but we don't. R v D was supposed to be
• 8:51
  Speaker 6: part of John Cena's retirement tour, but he got injured,
• 8:55
  Speaker 6: So I don't know if anybody was itching for a
• 8:59
  Speaker 6: John d match.
• 9:01
  Speaker 5: Uh yeah, uh.
• 9:12
  Speaker 6: Guys recently Andrade got let go. Yeah, there's rumors that
• 9:19
  Speaker 6: he failed his wellness policy. But there's also word going
• 9:24
  Speaker 6: around that WW tried to contact him and just weren't
• 9:28
  Speaker 6: able to get hold of him for a contract extension.
• 9:31
  Speaker 6: I guess he just didn't want to negotiate.
• 9:34
  Speaker 9: So he's getting to be one of these guys, like,
• 9:37
  Speaker 9: is he just a huge pan of he asked to
• 9:39
  Speaker 9: work with his backstage.
• 9:40
  Speaker 10: Or something, because like seems to be a recurring theme
• 9:44
  Speaker 10: with the scot Like, I'm.
• 9:46
  Speaker 9: A big I've been a fan of his. I don't
• 9:50
  Speaker 9: think he's been booked particularly well, so that's part of
• 9:53
  Speaker 9: the reason.
• 9:54
  Speaker 5: But I thought this KAT team when Phoenix was starting
• 9:57
  Speaker 5: to take off. I think I pitched them as winning
• 9:59
  Speaker 5: the tag title a couple of weeks ago.
• 10:03
  Speaker 9: It's so crazy, and sometimes these guys seem like they're
• 10:06
  Speaker 9: finally going in the right direction and then they're gone. Yeah,
• 10:10
  Speaker 9: but I mean it can't have been much fun working
• 10:12
  Speaker 9: with your.
• 10:12
  Speaker 5: Ex wife, you know.
• 10:14
  Speaker 6: No, I think, uh, they should have paired him back
• 10:18
  Speaker 6: up with Selena Vega because she's also not doing jack.
• 10:21
  Speaker 5: Ship right now, she's not doing much anything.
• 10:24
  Speaker 6: I think the peak when they were together.
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, some of it.
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: Also, I kind of wonder is he one of those
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: guys who thinks he's bigger or greater than what he
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: actually is.
• 10:39
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I get the S in the main event.
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: Picture, right, like he sees himself as a main eventor
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: and the book and w W E just doesn't see
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: him as that. They're like, I mean, you're mid card
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: at best. But he's like, and it could that be
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: causing you know, issues or friction because he's wondering like, well,
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: how come I don't have a match with Cody because
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: like you, you ain't Cody level.
• 11:02
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 11:03
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I don't know what kind of I don't remember
• 11:05
  Speaker 9: the circumstances of him leaving a W.
• 11:07
  Speaker 5: But let's say, even if he wants to go.
• 11:09
  Speaker 9: Back to Mexico, right, you got Triple A is not
• 11:12
  Speaker 9: owned by W so that's out. And if he doesn't
• 11:15
  Speaker 9: have a good relationship with a W, they are in
• 11:17
  Speaker 9: partnership with C M L L. So that's maybe it'll go.
• 11:21
  Speaker 5: I don't know anything.
• 11:22
  Speaker 9: Maybe he goes to Japan, but New Japan has a
• 11:24
  Speaker 9: relationship with A wil.
• 11:27
  Speaker 5: Sell I believe, So I don't know. I don't know
• 11:30
  Speaker 5: where he goes from here.
• 11:31
  Speaker 9: T n A has a relationships, and as much as
• 11:36
  Speaker 9: there's so much content on, there's not a lot of
• 11:38
  Speaker 9: places to go, right.
• 11:42
  Speaker 6: Yeah, honestly.
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: Could still go with those from I think t n
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: A in theory he could still work with for because
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: they have a relationship, but they're not owned by w W,
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: unlike Triple A. Well, Triple A will almos certainly be
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: off the table giving a w W he more or
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: less owns them at this point and they might not
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: want to take him on there. But TNA possibly they
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: could be like, okay, you can sign with TNA, but
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: don't actually to pop up at no NXT shows. But
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: we shall see.
• 12:20
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, be interested where he lands.
• 12:24
  Speaker 6: The other day, Jerry Lawler had another stroke. Rough Man
• 12:32
  Speaker 6: that man has escape death several times.
• 12:36
  Speaker 5: H and how old ish?
• 12:43
  Speaker 6: Hey google how old is Jerry the King Lawler?
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: I thought it was like seventy eight or something.
• 12:48
  Speaker 6: Seventy five.
• 12:50
  Speaker 5: Oh, that's the younger I thought he was. To be honest, Yeah.
• 12:59
  Speaker 10: He's I'm pretty sure he's one of those guys. And
• 13:02
  Speaker 10: it's like never dragged, never smoked, never, I believe he
• 13:07
  Speaker 10: had other viteses. But it's just funny how the rattling
• 13:12
  Speaker 10: business seems to be full of drug addicts for people
• 13:15
  Speaker 10: that have never touched it and nothing in the play.
• 13:19
  Speaker 9: Yeah, all right, guys, recovering, recovering drug.
• 13:27
  Speaker 6: Let's get to the big news, the big news. The
• 13:34
  Speaker 6: other day there was a press conference, and at this
• 13:38
  Speaker 6: press conference there was some very miserable looking people. And
• 13:45
  Speaker 6: in this lineup we had Bianca bell Air, Charlotte Flair,
• 13:50
  Speaker 6: Shawn Michaels, the Undertaker, liv Morgan, Logan, Paul Seth Rawlins
• 13:58
  Speaker 6: and that's that quay. There we go.
• 14:03
  Speaker 5: Stephanie was my favorite.
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: Pronounce the name and listen at least use one of
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: the entertaining ones that Naomi did. Don't use them where
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: somebody name because they just didn't know better.
• 14:20
  Speaker 6: Next episode, I gotta get du Naioli has made me laugh,
• 14:24
  Speaker 6: as of several of those. Stephanie, Belcrow or Anyway and
• 14:33
  Speaker 6: Triple h. They were all up there and you know, uh,
• 14:38
  Speaker 6: shoulders shoulder with good old Turkey allah I I cannot
• 14:45
  Speaker 6: pronounce this man's name, Turkey, that's his first name. Chairman
• 14:50
  Speaker 6: of the General Entertainment Authority of Saudi Arabia, Gentlemen, our
• 14:54
  Speaker 6: worst fear has happened. We are now going to be
• 14:59
  Speaker 6: having WrestleMania forty three in ri Od, Saudi Arabia.
• 15:05
  Speaker 10: I'm almost positive if I predicted this would happen.
• 15:09
  Speaker 5: About a year and a half ago. I actually I
• 15:12
  Speaker 5: think when when Pica, when the merger happened, I said, look,
• 15:16
  Speaker 5: look for WrestleMania to be in said, I thought it
• 15:18
  Speaker 5: would be maybe at that maybe in the thirties, you know,
• 15:23
  Speaker 5: I didn't think it would be now.
• 15:24
  Speaker 13: But oil money, pistemocracy, and the main events the female
• 15:31
  Speaker 13: superstar revolution, mandatory turtlenecks for everyone like yeah yo.
• 15:38
  Speaker 5: And seriously, with the Royal up thirty keepers enter one leadage.
• 15:45
  Speaker 6: Ticket prices are going to be for billionaires. The working
• 15:47
  Speaker 6: class fans are exiled to the couch. Let's talk that
• 15:52
  Speaker 6: for a minute. Let's be realistic here, you know, uh Doyle,
• 15:56
  Speaker 6: I looked it up today. If I were to fly
• 16:01
  Speaker 6: to Saudi Arabia, it cost me roughly like fifteen hundred bucks, right,
• 16:07
  Speaker 6: and guess what, that's probably gonna be the cheap part.
• 16:11
  Speaker 6: It is just the flight. Yeah, I don't think the
• 16:15
  Speaker 6: hotels there, nor the tickets alone, I don't. I don't
• 16:21
  Speaker 6: see green Shirt guy being in the front row. I'm sorry, man,
• 16:26
  Speaker 6: I will be in the front row unless he's.
• 16:31
  Speaker 14: The guy will be there.
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: Green Shirt Guy will be in the front row. I
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: do not doubt for a second man will be front
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: and center as part of that.
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: You know, it finally came out that.
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: I guess people finally figured out how he's able to
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: afford this ship ye talked about. Apparently he's a part
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: of some package thing I forgot what it was called
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: Go something or whatever, where he gets access to these
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: tickets pretty much all the time and whatever. He wants
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: me to just go through this thing and just get him.
• 17:04
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I think he made him.
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: I think he made Yeah. He apparently he does real estate.
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: Got the money to burn like a motherfucker, probably because
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: I guess he's really good at it. He's part of
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: this whatever program that's probably some exclusive rich people ship
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: where it's like, hey, rich as fuck, log into this
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: thing and you can get access to all these stuff
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: that you know that you are sold exclusively to y'all
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: that other people can't buy.
• 17:30
  Speaker 10: Like he got a he got an entrance at WrestleMania,
• 17:33
  Speaker 10: I believe right. I think he got to be timekeeper
• 17:36
  Speaker 10: for one of the matches. He gets kinds of crazy
• 17:39
  Speaker 10: perks and ship. But he's I think he's not.
• 17:42
  Speaker 5: He's not.
• 17:42
  Speaker 9: I mean, I think for a long time we all
• 17:44
  Speaker 9: speculated he was somebody's brother, cousin, you know whatever. But
• 17:49
  Speaker 9: it turns out like it's a real guy that's actually
• 17:51
  Speaker 9: paying for all of these fucking ticket for.
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he just does real estate I think in Florida
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: or something like that, and he's probably just rich as fuck.
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: So no, that man, as soon as they have got announced,
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: that man probably already got the flights booked. Don't set
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: it up when it takes pop all sale, he'll have
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: them ships. He'll have some exclusive email like I rich motherfuckers,
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: here's what y'all can do for Wrestlemantia, and he gonna
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: be like, yes, click by and done.
• 18:22
  Speaker 6: You guys.
• 18:24
  Speaker 9: I just I wonder what the what the further downstream
• 18:27
  Speaker 9: effects of all this will be like, Like I imagine
• 18:30
  Speaker 9: like the wrestle cotton people and all of the people
• 18:35
  Speaker 9: that run the indie shows that go on in you know,
• 18:37
  Speaker 9: because when when WrestleMania came to town, it was a
• 18:40
  Speaker 9: fucking circus.
• 18:41
  Speaker 5: It was everywhere, you know what I mean. And I
• 18:43
  Speaker 5: can't imagine that all of that is gonna follow them
• 18:46
  Speaker 5: this time.
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: Anyway.
• 18:47
  Speaker 9: I think I think a w should run a huge
• 18:50
  Speaker 9: fucking show in one of the some you know, fund
• 18:54
  Speaker 9: in the stadium wherever.
• 18:55
  Speaker 5: The Yes, yeah, I think that's what they and and
• 18:58
  Speaker 5: then and let card and all that shit's around that event.
• 19:04
  Speaker 6: Do you guys hear who who they want to wrestle
• 19:07
  Speaker 6: at Wrestling forty three. They want Roman under the Giant.
• 19:12
  Speaker 6: They want Roman Reigns in the Rock at the main event.
• 19:15
  Speaker 6: They want to bring back Stone called Steve Austin. They
• 19:18
  Speaker 6: want to Sewan Michaels, they want to bring back the Undertaker.
• 19:23
  Speaker 4: Shawn's already said no.
• 19:24
  Speaker 5: Apparently, yeah, apparently.
• 19:26
  Speaker 9: The deal is worth up to two hundred and fifty
• 19:30
  Speaker 9: million dollars. So that's contingent on all of these crazy
• 19:34
  Speaker 9: matches they want happening. So each time one doesn't happen,
• 19:37
  Speaker 9: it's like, yeah, there's twenty million left we're gonna give
• 19:39
  Speaker 9: you or whatever it is. But I mean, realistically, that's
• 19:42
  Speaker 9: that's probably going to be the last chance for you.
• 19:44
  Speaker 9: If Roman and Rock is ever going to happen, it's.
• 19:47
  Speaker 5: Going to be there right right.
• 19:48
  Speaker 9: I mean, Rock's going to be another I mean a
• 19:52
  Speaker 9: year and a half older now.
• 19:53
  Speaker 5: But if it's not, then it'll be two and a half,
• 19:56
  Speaker 5: three and a half four. You know, he's just he's not.
• 19:58
  Speaker 5: Neither of them were getting any younger.
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: Then or never.
• 20:02
  Speaker 6: We're talking about slim Rock right now. Huh Rocks again,
• 20:09
  Speaker 6: if he lost like sixty pounds or something.
• 20:12
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you've seen Batista recently. He looks pretty he lost.
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: Also, Yeah, both of them are trying to Yeah, some
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: of us diet both also, most of them are. Both
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: of them are trying to take on more serious acting
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: roles and not just be the you know, mister action
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: star who does nothing. Credit to them for that. I mean,
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: and if obviously, you know, if Rock doesn't decide to
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: get back in the ring, if they cut enough money
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: for him to do the WrestleMania the Saudi Show, it's
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: nothing for him to bulk back.
• 20:49
  Speaker 4: Up, Yeah, I mean, because.
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: Back up or just get himself shredded out of his
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: mind again or whatever he has to do for the match.
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: I mean that he can do. But yeah, to me,
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: I'm with you, Doyle.
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: The most interesting stuff to me isn't WrestleMania in Saudi itself.
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: It's everything, like you said, everything downstream, but the fallout
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: from it, you know what are Like you said, it's
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: not WrestleMania is more than just the show itself. It's
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: a whole week of activities all around the whole wrestling
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: universe from wherever that wherever it takes place, that place
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: becomes the center of the wrestling universe for an entire week,
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: and it's full of shit that happens where It's indie shows,
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: other outside shows, wrestle Khan, all this stuff. And yeah,
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: it's hard for me to see all that stuff traveling
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: to Saudi Arabia. It's hard for me to see fans
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: traveling like that to Saudi Arabia. I know, apparently, I'm
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: gonna say, yeah, I know that. You know, flights are
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: obviously themselves are not going to be cheap, Tickets are
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: not going to be cheap. I don't know what the
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: hotel of the airbnb situation is like over there, but
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: apparently the green is legal over there, so they don't
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: trip on that. I mean, I guess that's one plus
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: that they and going for them that you know, you
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: could just be out there and Ria just putting it
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: in the air one time.
• 22:21
  Speaker 6: That was crazy to book that far.
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: They don't give a damn about the week.
• 22:27
  Speaker 6: That far an advance straight to like book matches. Especially
• 22:30
  Speaker 6: we're not talking about like Roman's the youngest one in
• 22:33
  Speaker 6: that conversation, but we're like, I mean, you're dude, I'd
• 22:38
  Speaker 6: think it's impossible to see any of these guys get
• 22:40
  Speaker 6: back in the ring, even the rock Man, like the Rocks.
• 22:44
  Speaker 6: We're talking like a year and a half maybe more,
• 22:48
  Speaker 6: you know, give her a take, like, can any of
• 22:51
  Speaker 6: these guys put on any kind of a match? And
• 22:53
  Speaker 6: if so, like against too who we I don't know.
• 22:57
  Speaker 6: That's this typical Saudi Prince making crazy ass matches. Thank
• 23:04
  Speaker 6: god all the people he paid were still wet.
• 23:05
  Speaker 10: I mean, when the WrestleMania rumors started, I thought it
• 23:10
  Speaker 10: would be greatest WrestleMania, you know what I mean, not WrestleMania, WrestleMania.
• 23:18
  Speaker 10: I wouldn't be surprised if they do the reverse and
• 23:21
  Speaker 10: in twenty twenty seven give us Super WrestleMania or whatever.
• 23:26
  Speaker 5: The like as a like a I don't know, give
• 23:31
  Speaker 5: back or you know, distraction or whatever.
• 23:35
  Speaker 10: I don't I gotta have a problem that the WrestleMania
• 23:37
  Speaker 10: is not going to be in North America whatever.
• 23:39
  Speaker 5: Who gives it it?
• 23:40
  Speaker 10: I mean, uh, And of course we you know, always
• 23:44
  Speaker 10: with the Saudi blood, money stuff or whatever.
• 23:46
  Speaker 9: But you know, the fans in Saudi Arabia whatever they're
• 23:49
  Speaker 9: they're I'm sure they're all fine people.
• 23:50
  Speaker 10: They deserve entertainment as much as we all do. But
• 23:53
  Speaker 10: I feel like reflicon probably.
• 23:56
  Speaker 9: Would follow to London or to Paris, or to Mai
• 24:00
  Speaker 9: or whatever the fuck you know, uh, whereas it's just
• 24:02
  Speaker 9: I just don't see it following to Saudi Arabia.
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah that we know, stuff like that would travel to
• 24:09
  Speaker 4: those places.
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: Just look at the Olympics and how you know when
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: that comes to us to a city, it takes over
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: for two weeks.
• 24:17
  Speaker 4: So it's nothing for it. Wrestle media.
• 24:21
  Speaker 5: Area of the world.
• 24:23
  Speaker 9: Now they're doing all this stuff like they're trying to
• 24:25
  Speaker 9: build it up into the It's part of the thing
• 24:27
  Speaker 9: called rehod season.
• 24:29
  Speaker 5: I think it's called.
• 24:30
  Speaker 9: They're kind of they and I think this year it
• 24:32
  Speaker 9: is a huge comedy festival in rehod A huge, like
• 24:37
  Speaker 9: like I mean, like Dave Chapel and Bill Burr and
• 24:40
  Speaker 9: you know, everybody you've ever heard that's currently doing stand
• 24:44
  Speaker 9: up comedy.
• 24:45
  Speaker 5: Right now is going to be exist thing.
• 24:47
  Speaker 9: Uh and you know, and they got the but it's
• 24:49
  Speaker 9: all part of the sports washing thing that they're they're
• 24:51
  Speaker 9: doing with the live golf.
• 24:53
  Speaker 5: They're just trying to make you forget that they kill
• 24:55
  Speaker 5: American journalists. They just hit one of their own journalists
• 24:58
  Speaker 5: like a couple of weeks ago. We didn't get that
• 25:00
  Speaker 5: of the news over here. But it's just like I
• 25:04
  Speaker 5: think that's the it's.
• 25:06
  Speaker 9: Just the level of we don't give a shit about
• 25:08
  Speaker 9: the fans ness about this whole thing. It's just I
• 25:12
  Speaker 9: think it's gonna get them at something, you know, like
• 25:16
  Speaker 9: it's gonna get it and a year.
• 25:17
  Speaker 5: And who knows what this business even looks like, you know,
• 25:21
  Speaker 5: like I feel like the.
• 25:23
  Speaker 9: Bottom is getting ready to drop out, you know, like
• 25:26
  Speaker 9: I've been saying it ebbs and flows, and I think
• 25:28
  Speaker 9: it's about to fall off a cliff popularity wise, but
• 25:32
  Speaker 9: we still see.
• 25:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we'll see. I don't know if it would.
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: I think, like like you said, yeah, it does EBB
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: and flow. I don't know that I can see wrestling
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: at this point falling off a total cliff. I can
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: see it having maybe a lean some lean years more
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: so more so, I think at this point it's kind
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: of reached a certain level of just Maine stream acceptance
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: that we're not going to have, you know, the struggle
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: that we saw from like WWF and the nineties pre
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: attitude era, Like we're not going to see that new
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: generation era struggle again with them. I think they're a
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: little too mainstream now and too you know, too much
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: too well accepted at this point for that to happen.
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: And you mean, pretty much all these wrestlers are becoming
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: household names, not just the biggest stars. Like everybody knows
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: of everybody at this point. So I think they have
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: a certain level of immunity to it. But yeah, they
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: can still have some lean years or some stuff whereas
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: the product is maybe a bit down. But I think
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: they've reached the point where they well enough to.
• 26:52
  Speaker 5: Appear or anything. I'm not suggesting that, Yeah, I think
• 26:56
  Speaker 5: the days of every shows or record gate.
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: Might be my yeah, like they can have that, you know,
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: or like they're not hitting record gates every time. But
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: I think they'll still have they'll still be putting up
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: strong numbers.
• 27:17
  Speaker 5: I think, you know, like a lot of business or something.
• 27:21
  Speaker 9: All the almost pro sports, at least on the on
• 27:24
  Speaker 9: the professional major aid levels, they're doing the same thing.
• 27:28
  Speaker 5: I mean, what if twenty if twenty five pertend of
• 27:32
  Speaker 5: the seats are unsold.
• 27:34
  Speaker 9: We got, you know, however much for the all the
• 27:37
  Speaker 9: dip ships sitting right behind home Plate all paid you know,
• 27:41
  Speaker 9: eight times, but they were paying.
• 27:42
  Speaker 5: Five ten years ago. You know, they're going after the
• 27:46
  Speaker 5: That's the business model now, is the is going after
• 27:49
  Speaker 5: the whales. And if the little guys can't afford, it's
• 27:52
  Speaker 5: so fucking yeah.
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: I don't think they're I don't see them going to
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: a point where you know, they're out where they can't
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: sell out stadiums and they're gonna have to We're gonna
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: have to go back to the smaller arenas or anything
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: like that. Like, I don't I don't see them falling
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: off that bad. I think if they put a show
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: in the stadium, it's still gonna sell. You know, shows
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: like what we just saw this friday, you know in
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: my local area when SmackDown was at the scope. Shows
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: like that are just gonna be fewer and fewer far between.
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: These smaller you know, ten thousand seed or less stadiums
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: or arenas that they have shows in those will be
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: you know, you're random once in the blue Moon throwaways.
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: Maybe maybe worst case scenario, if they get lean, you
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: might see an uptick in those type of shows where
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: it's like, okay, businesses down, We're gonna have to book
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: more you know, ten to twelve thousand seat arenas as
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: opposed to the fifteen twenty thousand and up arenas. Maybe
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: that I think it's about as much as bad as
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: they could get for WWE right now, unless something absolutely
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: disastrous were to happen.
• 29:14
  Speaker 6: It's absolutely insane, like Doyle said, they're going to go
• 29:17
  Speaker 6: for the whales right with these ticket prices and the
• 29:20
  Speaker 6: insane prices that they're charging. And you know, we're stuck
• 29:27
  Speaker 6: at home on the couch, but we're paying thirty dollars
• 29:30
  Speaker 6: a month now, you know, some of us.
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: But people, some people will end up doing the same
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: doing like what like what just happened? I can get
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: given that they were just here. I can use us
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: as an example here in Norfolk where SmackDown was here
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: tickets went on sale, and initially when tickets first went
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: on sale, the cheapest seats, right, we're talking the two
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: intersection of the note of the Norfolk Scope. Nose bleeds
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: seed even though Scope is not really a big arena,
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: So nose bleed ain't that bad, you know. Nose bleed
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: at the Scope is probably better seas than what we
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: had at WrestleMania, but still I digress. Cheapest seats at
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: then the Scope, we're going for two hundred and fifty bucks.
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: Ringside seats, front row we're going for well over one thousand,
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: like almost approached somewhere like one thousand to twelve hundred
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: bucks for just a random episode of SmackDown.
• 30:33
  Speaker 5: Yes, yes, actually I'm sorry finished.
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and yes, some of those seats sold, I'm not
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: like they definitely sold some of them seats Like you said,
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: the whales and the people like that that they go
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: after who just have the money.
• 30:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's coming, they're going to fork it up.
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: Yes, some of those expensive, most expensive seats definitely sold
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: and sold quickly, but a good chunk of that arena
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: was not sold until maybe the last two weeks before
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: it came to town. And that's because and that's when
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: ticket prices started to plummet. They I was the section
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: that I sat in that I was eyeballing when I
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: first checked the prices. Those tickets were going from between
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: six to eight hundred bucks and I was like, ain't
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: no way in hell I'm pining.
• 31:26
  Speaker 4: I'm not paying that. I would like to sit there,
• 31:28
  Speaker 4: but I'm not paying that price.
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: I was looking at another section behind that that was
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: in the one hundred seats and those were going for
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: about five and that was about the max I was
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: willing to pay if I was going to go, And
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: at that point I was still on the fence. The
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: last two weeks them ticket prices started to drop. The
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: same seats that I was looking at that were originally
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: going into six to eight hundred rains they dropped down
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: to the five hundred dollars price point, and I was
• 31:56
  Speaker 3: considering them, but I was like, nope, I'm gonna wait.
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna hold out see if they drop a little
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: bit further. By the time I finally got my ticket,
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: and I got my ticket the week of that Monday night,
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: those tickets that again were in the six to eight
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: hundred dollars range. I bought it for two hundred and
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: thirty bucks. That's fees included. So the ticket itself was
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: two hundred and thirty dollars. Thirty dollars were in fees.
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: So I think a lot of people are gonna end
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: up doing that. So they mean they can price in
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: how they want, but people have a limit, and if
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: they price them people out, then yeah, the whales, the
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: people with money to burn, they'll buy them. But a
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: lot of these arenas will be half sold or barely
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: sold until they dropped the price to something more reasonable
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: that people are willing to pay. Those cheapest tickets that
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: I paid that where I said we're going for two
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: hundred week of they had dropped down to seventy bucks,
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: and that's when they started moving.
• 33:01
  Speaker 5: Was this the secondary market or was this the tickets dynamic? No?
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, direct sale through ticketmaster or at least in this area,
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: it's called seven Venues. Is this retailer for that? But
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: seven Venues runs through Ticketmaster? Yeah?
• 33:18
  Speaker 9: Interesting, Well, you know I was gonna say, uh, if
• 33:21
  Speaker 9: they played our cards right, this is a great opportunity
• 33:24
  Speaker 9: for a w make some moves.
• 33:26
  Speaker 5: Here, Like I just went to a show.
• 33:29
  Speaker 9: Also granted of his collision but and it was but
• 33:32
  Speaker 9: understand in the fifth throw for like seventy bucks.
• 33:36
  Speaker 5: Yeah, so, I mean it was the it was the
• 33:42
  Speaker 5: in the east w are and so, but it was
• 33:44
  Speaker 5: not you know, it wasn't a big venue at all
• 33:48
  Speaker 5: or anything.
• 33:49
  Speaker 9: But it was like, I'd rather know a five a
• 33:51
  Speaker 9: W shows for the price of half of a of
• 33:56
  Speaker 9: a big time w w E event.
• 33:57
  Speaker 5: It seems like, uh, the see you know, much more
• 34:01
  Speaker 5: as sensible little closer and you know, yep, yeah, I
• 34:05
  Speaker 5: could have yelled and they would have heard, you know,
• 34:06
  Speaker 5: I Yeah.
• 34:08
  Speaker 6: Those are always the best when you were thinking yelling
• 34:10
  Speaker 6: disiness and they actually hear you. That's always like, you know,
• 34:17
  Speaker 6: but you couldn't even get.
• 34:18
  Speaker 5: In the door for seventy dollars, you said, yea, or
• 34:22
  Speaker 5: or not until the week of or whatever.
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, you had to wait till the last minute
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: to get those bleak seats at seventy bucks, right, I.
• 34:30
  Speaker 5: Said, brow.
• 34:32
  Speaker 9: I basically sat, Uh actually I was a little farther
• 34:35
  Speaker 9: towards the ring post, but basically sat where you and
• 34:37
  Speaker 9: I sat ray except when they had a rise there,
• 34:43
  Speaker 9: but basically the same seat.
• 34:46
  Speaker 5: That was pretty close.
• 34:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and to your earlier point about aw Win wrestle Media.
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: I'm in agreement with you there. I would love to
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: see them, you know, basically take a page of ww's book.
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: Since w W wants to counter program everything that they do,
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: I would love to see a W be like, oh,
• 35:07
  Speaker 3: y'all take it, WrestleMania Saudi Arabia. I bet we're gonna
• 35:11
  Speaker 3: do something here in the States and then let everything
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: else decide where they want to go.
• 35:19
  Speaker 5: Because WrestleMania is going to have to start at eleven
• 35:21
  Speaker 5: in the morning or something like that.
• 35:25
  Speaker 6: I didn't even think about that. That's gonna suck.
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: Well, no, yeah, it'll be Yeah, if it's at starts
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: at guess seven o'clock their time, then yeah, WrestleMania that
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: year would be at like one o'clock in the afternoon
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: our time or noon or something.
• 35:42
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 35:43
  Speaker 6: Well, you know what, it'll be nice because it'll be
• 35:45
  Speaker 6: the first time, you know, it'll be over before like
• 35:48
  Speaker 6: seven o'clock PM. Yeah, right, like smack in the middle
• 35:56
  Speaker 6: of your fucking day though, two days.
• 35:58

• 36:09
  Speaker 1: especially that area scouting the.
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: Venue, he'd be like, all right, bet we're about to
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: book us all in right and go directly up against
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: w W E because I mean they have w W
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: has absolutely left the door open for them to counter
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: the ship out of them. Do a big show, give
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: us an all in here in the States, go all

  Speaker 3: You let wrestle kan decide where you want to be at.
• 36:40
  Speaker 3: You want to follow w W to Saudi Arabia or

  Speaker 3: to have a mania, you want to have it here

  Speaker 3: to try to pull off walle Mania in Riot.
• 37:06
  Speaker 5: By the way, we we definitely illegal in Tull Arabia.
• 37:11
  Speaker 9: And so with alcohol, like I can't imagine siting through
• 37:16
  Speaker 9: ten hours of WrestleMania to have a beer, Oh my.
• 37:19
  Speaker 6: God, Nope, not for me. Yeah, uh all right, guys, uh,
• 37:28
  Speaker 6: I think that's that. That's all I got for that
• 37:30
  Speaker 6: segment for news. But so I've been thinking about it.
• 37:37
  Speaker 6: I've been trying time and time again to get this
• 37:41
  Speaker 6: bracket off the ground. But every time I get excited
• 37:46
  Speaker 6: and I think I got a wee bit of space.
• 37:50
  Speaker 6: There's there's a there's a pay per view, right fucking there.
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: Ah, I love it.
• 37:56
  Speaker 5: Well, there's one every three weeks now.
• 38:00
  Speaker 6: Yeah, man, it's it's ridiculous. And I just wanted to
• 38:04
  Speaker 6: think of a better way to maybe get this done.
• 38:08
  Speaker 6: So it's going to be a slow burn, but you
• 38:13
  Speaker 6: know what, fuck it, let it be. Let it be,
• 38:16
  Speaker 6: because I haven't work on something else, something bigger, something better.
• 38:20
  Speaker 6: So I scoured the internet. I've looked up ones that
• 38:26
  Speaker 6: I could find quite popular across different boards and websites,
• 38:31
  Speaker 6: and I gathered all my information and we are going
• 38:36
  Speaker 6: to do for our first bracket fantasy matches that have
• 38:40
  Speaker 6: never happened. These are fantasy matches that people on Reddit
• 38:46
  Speaker 6: have requested on There's another there's a couple of like
• 38:52
  Speaker 6: a website that quests or quarrel or something like that
• 38:56
  Speaker 6: that you can ask questions too, and you can get polls.
• 38:59
  Speaker 6: And I would to a bunch of other websites, and
• 39:01
  Speaker 6: I pulled a bunch of these matches together. There were
• 39:05
  Speaker 6: some ridiculous ones, and I was like, Okay, maybe I
• 39:08
  Speaker 6: won't put those in there. I'm not gonna give you
• 39:12
  Speaker 6: guys a readout of all of them because I want
• 39:16
  Speaker 6: I want this to be on the fly. I don't
• 39:18
  Speaker 6: want you guys to know what's coming. I don't know,
• 39:21
  Speaker 6: I don't I feel like it would it's gonna mess
• 39:25
  Speaker 6: with I don't know future matches. I feel like it's
• 39:28
  Speaker 6: just better you guys just find out, like the listeners aren't.
• 39:32
  Speaker 6: And I think I'm gonna have you guys both take
• 39:34
  Speaker 6: a vote, and then I guess if we have to
• 39:37
  Speaker 6: break it, I'll be the tiebreaker.
• 39:41
  Speaker 3: What are we voting on?
• 39:42
  Speaker 5: Exactly?
• 39:44
  Speaker 6: So it's gonna be two matches to fantasy matches, right,
• 39:49
  Speaker 6: and we're gonna vote out of those two fantasy matches
• 39:51
  Speaker 6: which one we would rather see over the other?
• 39:56
  Speaker 3: You know what I mean?
• 39:57
  Speaker 9: Follow our question the matches that might actually happen in
• 40:02
  Speaker 9: twenty twenty five, or it's just like no Giant versus
• 40:05
  Speaker 9: Big Show.
• 40:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah, this is will never happen.
• 40:09
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, these are most likely never to happen. A
• 40:11
  Speaker 6: lot of these are, you know, Yeah, definitely these are
• 40:16
  Speaker 6: all w W E. But you do have to think
• 40:20
  Speaker 6: that all of these wrestlers are in their prime. So
• 40:24
  Speaker 6: when I do mention somebody from maybe the nineties and
• 40:26
  Speaker 6: somebody from my current wrestling like, think prime, you know.
• 40:31
  Speaker 6: So you know we're gonna bring up guys like Stoke
• 40:34
  Speaker 6: called Steve Austin and the Rock just in your head?
• 40:38
  Speaker 6: What was your best version of him? You know, and
• 40:42
  Speaker 6: you're you're more than welcome to to put up that
• 40:44
  Speaker 6: argument of why you think that man we're a woman
• 40:49
  Speaker 6: is better.
• 40:52
  Speaker 4: Okay, So.
• 40:55
  Speaker 6: We are going to start off with this first match.
• 40:59
  Speaker 6: Where's my pen? Because I gotta I want to actually
• 41:02
  Speaker 6: rewrite this and make this bracket really nice, considering I
• 41:05
  Speaker 6: might have this for quite some time. All right, guys,
• 41:08
  Speaker 6: first matchup, we have Sean Michaels versus Seth Freaking Rollins versus.
• 41:19
  Speaker 6: So it's that match versus Big Daddy Diesel versus Drew McIntyre.
• 41:31
  Speaker 6: So you have these two separate fantasy matches. I know
• 41:34
  Speaker 6: some of these are gonna be easy choices. Some of
• 41:36
  Speaker 6: these are gonna be hard.
• 41:39
  Speaker 5: When you said when you said Michaels rawlins, I almost
• 41:41
  Speaker 5: just said Michael.
• 41:47
  Speaker 3: I almost said it as soon as you said Big
• 41:48
  Speaker 3: Daddy Cools like Michael's rawlins.
• 41:50
  Speaker 6: Yeah, okay, so that's what. So yeah, like so let's
• 41:56
  Speaker 6: let's you know, let's spend a little bit of time here, Like,
• 41:59
  Speaker 6: so you guys are both a in HBK and Seth Rawlins.
• 42:01
  Speaker 5: Right, Yeah.
• 42:05
  Speaker 9: I mean, I love, love, love Drew McIntyre, but like
• 42:10
  Speaker 9: in terms of like and Kevin Asher is a good
• 42:15
  Speaker 9: on the stick and everything, and you know, it's not terrible,
• 42:19
  Speaker 9: but I don't see him putting on a match, even
• 42:23
  Speaker 9: with Drew McIntyre, that it would even be nearly on
• 42:26
  Speaker 9: the level of Michaels and Rowlands, right.
• 42:30
  Speaker 5: I think he's the weak lank of the other four.
• 42:32
  Speaker 3: You know what, Even if they're saying it's big daddy
• 42:36
  Speaker 3: cool Diesel, which I'm taking as exclusively his first run
• 42:41
  Speaker 3: in w W, I'm not even factoring in, you know,
• 42:46
  Speaker 3: Kevin Nash w c W n w O version of him,
• 42:49
  Speaker 3: which I personally think was peak Nash. I'm just looking
• 42:53
  Speaker 3: at just jet black, hair, glove Diesel, that version of
• 42:58
  Speaker 3: him versus Drew and he No, I don't see them.
• 43:05
  Speaker 3: I don't see them gelling well together in a match.
• 43:09
  Speaker 3: Whereas HBK and Seth Rollins, you're talking about two of
• 43:14
  Speaker 3: the best n ring workers in the history of wrestling
• 43:17
  Speaker 3: who can come up with shit on the fly, like
• 43:21
  Speaker 3: the way that match would go.
• 43:23
  Speaker 9: My god, yeah, this this says one one sixteen vibes
• 43:29
  Speaker 9: or like two fifteen five?
• 43:31
  Speaker 6: Yeah. Now, so let me let me ask you guys
• 43:33
  Speaker 6: this which is one sixteen bracket, which version of HBK
• 43:38
  Speaker 6: would you like to see?
• 43:39
  Speaker 5: Like?
• 43:40
  Speaker 6: Are we thinking like before he left after his back
• 43:43
  Speaker 6: injury or are we thinking like when he came back in.
• 43:48
  Speaker 3: What year is that?
• 43:48
  Speaker 6: Two thousand and two, two thousand and two, two thousand
• 43:51
  Speaker 6: and two? Are we thinking that? Are we thinking his uh?
• 43:54
  Speaker 6: Like I I personally think for me Sean Michaels, I
• 43:58
  Speaker 6: would say closer to his end of his career when
• 44:01
  Speaker 6: he was fighting Taker.
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 44:04
  Speaker 6: That's the shaw Michaels I want to see versus seth
• 44:07
  Speaker 6: rowans of. Maybe I'm trying to think my favorite version
• 44:16
  Speaker 6: of Rawns like I would like to see.
• 44:18
  Speaker 3: I'm thinking the opposite. I'm thinking I think I'll go with.
• 44:21
  Speaker 5: The post comeback as well, Okay, Like I think he
• 44:27
  Speaker 5: did his best work after after he came back.
• 44:29
  Speaker 9: I mean, granted he couldn't quite do as much right,
• 44:33
  Speaker 9: but I think he's a better storyteller, and he was
• 44:36
  Speaker 9: you know, he was off druns and he wasn't a
• 44:38
  Speaker 9: can of balls.
• 44:39
  Speaker 5: I guess that he was in the nineties, you guys
• 44:42
  Speaker 5: had his head on a little straighter.
• 44:43
  Speaker 3: I think, Yeah, I mean, I agree, I think probably
• 44:48
  Speaker 3: second run Shawn Michaels was a better overall storyteller, definitely
• 44:57
  Speaker 3: better former. But I'm thinking at it as just from
• 45:02
  Speaker 3: a pure athletics standpoint. If pure in ring capability standpoint,
• 45:07
  Speaker 3: I'm I'm still would pick first run Sean. He was
• 45:13
  Speaker 3: he had the speed, he had the ability, he could
• 45:16
  Speaker 3: do anything and everything in the ring and still and
• 45:20
  Speaker 3: still tell good stories. Still had that guy. It was
• 45:24
  Speaker 3: just you know, he had the backstage demons, but and
• 45:26
  Speaker 3: ring that was fucking untouchable. First Run, So that that's
• 45:31
  Speaker 3: the guy I want to see. If I'm talking prime
• 45:34
  Speaker 3: peak Shawn Michael, I want to see that Shawn Michaels
• 45:39
  Speaker 3: take on seth Rollins.
• 45:42
  Speaker 5: Okay, I'm gonna.
• 45:47
  Speaker 3: The era.
• 45:53
  Speaker 6: Yeah, Now it's good because this is going to I'm
• 45:58
  Speaker 6: looking like I'm looking ahead of little bit here, So
• 46:01
  Speaker 6: I mean, I think this is gonna be good. This bracket,
• 46:03
  Speaker 6: the way it's going to get down, and it's I
• 46:05
  Speaker 6: mean right now. Yes, it's going to be very easy
• 46:09
  Speaker 6: the first few rounds, but after that, you know it's
• 46:12
  Speaker 6: gonna get tighter and tighter, and it's gonna get a
• 46:13
  Speaker 6: lot fucking harder. I wish I could tell you, guys,
• 46:20
  Speaker 6: I wish I could, but I can't. I can't, all right,
• 46:23
  Speaker 6: So we're in agreement. HBK versus seth freaking Rollins advances
• 46:27
  Speaker 6: to the next round. Next episode, I will bring up
• 46:32
  Speaker 6: another one, and so on and so forth until we're done,
• 46:35
  Speaker 6: and then we'll figure out what will our next bracket be.
• 46:40
  Speaker 6: So let's get in to this p L E. Shall
• 46:46
  Speaker 6: we this very first p L E? On ESPN? It's
• 46:51
  Speaker 6: no longer on the cock So if you don't have
• 46:55
  Speaker 6: ESPN and you're not tuned in at the kickoff show
• 46:59
  Speaker 6: I believe starts it six thirty, you're just getting earlier
• 47:03
  Speaker 6: and earlier, so early that Russell Mendia forty three will
• 47:06
  Speaker 6: start at one in the afternoon, so early. That's how
• 47:09
  Speaker 6: we're just dialing it back even further.
• 47:12
  Speaker 3: Well, one way or the other, this is going to
• 47:15
  Speaker 3: be viewed on some sort of PN. Yeah, I agree,
• 47:20
  Speaker 3: ESPN ORP.
• 47:22
  Speaker 6: I am so interested though, guys in knowing the number.
• 47:27
  Speaker 6: They're not going to give us the real numbers, but
• 47:28
  Speaker 6: like just to know general numbers of how how much
• 47:32
  Speaker 6: did sales go up? Like for ESPN plus, did they
• 47:34
  Speaker 6: get a lot of subscribers? You know, is it less?
• 47:39
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 47:40
  Speaker 6: Is it way less than ww expected? Like oh shit,
• 47:44
  Speaker 6: like we were expecting you know, a way.
• 47:46
  Speaker 4: We're not going to report it if it's less.
• 47:48
  Speaker 3: You'll have to look for some sort of third party
• 47:50
  Speaker 3: outlet that yeah, to somehow get a scoop or something
• 47:54
  Speaker 3: like that, and they'll probably use whatever type of math
• 47:58
  Speaker 3: they need to inflate the numbers, Like they'll use a
• 48:00
  Speaker 3: person like me who's grandfathered into ESPN through the old bundle,
• 48:07
  Speaker 3: even though I don't have ESPN Unlimited, which is the
• 48:11
  Speaker 3: thing that they're really actually trying to sell people on
• 48:14
  Speaker 3: because that's what gets you the PLS and the WWE stuff.
• 48:18
  Speaker 4: But they'll use somebody like me.
• 48:19
  Speaker 3: And say, oh, our ESPN app now has blah blah
• 48:22
  Speaker 3: blah subscribers, and like, you know, seventy percent of that
• 48:26
  Speaker 3: number could be people who are already subscribed and just
• 48:29
  Speaker 3: got rolled over. Maybe thirty percent of it is like
• 48:33
  Speaker 3: quote unquote new subscribers they're not gonna report that new
• 48:37
  Speaker 3: subscriber number if it doesn't look extraordinarily good, They'll just
• 48:42
  Speaker 3: say they'll just report the overall number and say, oh,
• 48:45
  Speaker 3: ESPN has twelve million subscribers or whatever. Yeah, and like
• 48:51
  Speaker 3: ten of those twelve were people who already had the
• 48:53
  Speaker 3: shit through Disney Plus or bundles or whatever. Yeah, they're
• 49:01
  Speaker 3: going to present it in a way that makes it
• 49:02
  Speaker 3: look as good as.
• 49:03
  Speaker 4: Possible, of course.
• 49:06
  Speaker 6: Yeah, were we gonna see.
• 49:10
  Speaker 9: Okay, yeah, I have I have the old ESPN Plus
• 49:14
  Speaker 9: whatever it's called. I think it's called ESPN Select. Now
• 49:17
  Speaker 9: I believe I do not have the Unlimited either, So yeah,
• 49:21
  Speaker 9: I I I'll probably NEEDNT work anyways, so I'll probably
• 49:24
  Speaker 9: have to watch it.
• 49:29
  Speaker 5: Sence that just has like daily emotion or whatever.
• 49:32
  Speaker 9: But I don't as far as I can tell, it's
• 49:35
  Speaker 9: because it's still has all out starting at seven or
• 49:38
  Speaker 9: eight or whatever h on the my pay per view
• 49:42
  Speaker 9: menu on my cable box. Now, if they put it
• 49:44
  Speaker 9: on traditional pay per view, I can watch it h
• 49:49
  Speaker 9: by it with credits that don't exist.
• 49:52
  Speaker 5: Uh, but if they don't put it on.
• 49:55
  Speaker 9: Traditional pay per view, yeah, I'm gonna be I'm gonna
• 49:57
  Speaker 9: be uh, putting on.
• 49:58
  Speaker 5: The old eye patch and getting out the wooden leg. Yeah,
• 50:05
  Speaker 5: stay with the scene. Slip the old Jolly Roger there.
• 50:11
  Speaker 6: Russell Paluza was the name of professional wrestling event produced
• 50:15
  Speaker 6: by e c W. If it sounds like a nineties
• 50:18
  Speaker 6: pay per view name, it's because it was. It was
• 50:21
  Speaker 6: in nineteen ninety five, nineteen ninety seven, nineteen ninety eight,
• 50:24
  Speaker 6: and in two thousand. In nineteen ninety eight.
• 50:28
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I'm saying the first concert I ever went to
• 50:31
  Speaker 9: was was Lollapalooza. The second time, which was nineteen ninety two.
• 50:35
  Speaker 9: So yeah, the super nineties name, and I think it's
• 50:38
  Speaker 9: a fucking terrible name. It sounds so stupid. Paluza just
• 50:43
  Speaker 9: sounds idiotic.
• 50:44
  Speaker 5: It's one of those things like.
• 50:48
  Speaker 9: It's kind of embarrassing when a non wrestling person hears it,
• 50:51
  Speaker 9: you know, or at least I feel like it would be,
• 50:54
  Speaker 9: it's like, oh what what what? What show are you watching?
• 50:57
  Speaker 9: At least Thomas Lamb sounds like, you know, but just
• 51:01
  Speaker 9: sounds stupid.
• 51:03
  Speaker 6: Poloza definition a wild, crazy and extravagant party.
• 51:11
  Speaker 3: Like of all the names that they acquired through their
• 51:15
  Speaker 3: e c W W c W perk, that's.
• 51:21
  Speaker 4: It sounds dumb.
• 51:22
  Speaker 3: It's like they wanted to come up with something similar
• 51:24
  Speaker 3: to WrestleMania without calling it WrestleMania right up before I
• 51:33
  Speaker 3: used Russell Paloza.
• 51:35
  Speaker 6: K would have been a good one, right, Like they
• 51:42
  Speaker 6: haven't you star.
• 51:42
  Speaker 4: K at all since they bought w C W have they?
• 51:45

  Speaker 6: No, Yeah, it's ww man like on the cover, like

• 52:54
  Speaker 6: but like names on. The main event was Bray Wyatt

  Speaker 6: versus On Strowman in a cage match for the Universal title.

  Speaker 4: I wonder how the w like how the ESPN folks
• 54:25
  Speaker 4: felt about it. I don't have a.
• 54:27
  Speaker 3: Show with y'all, all right, which one is gonna be? H.
• 54:31
  Speaker 3: We're gonna come up with one just for you guys,
• 54:33
  Speaker 3: something exclusively to y'all. We're not gonna use the old
• 54:36
  Speaker 3: ones just for ESPN just to kick it off with
• 54:39
  Speaker 3: a bang. It's gonna be Wrussell Palooza.
• 54:42
  Speaker 6: And they were like, well, I mean we can tell
• 54:46
  Speaker 6: that they are pretty out of touch over there on
• 54:49
  Speaker 6: ESPN with what even w W is right, Doyle And
• 54:55
  Speaker 6: with that said, I I'm gonna play this clip how
• 54:58
  Speaker 6: much out of touch are they? Here we go.
• 55:03
  Speaker 7: Their first ESPN Premium Live event, w W E. Wressell
• 55:07
  Speaker 7: Palooza from Gudeanapolis. John Santa gets blocked Lester in the
• 55:11
  Speaker 7: main event. Lewis your thoughts on Santa versus Lester? You're
• 55:15
  Speaker 7: gonna break that down.
• 55:16
  Speaker 5: I'll tell you what, Rock Lesler, he doesn't look human
• 55:19
  Speaker 5: as big as that man is.
• 55:21
  Speaker 9: He looks like he's gotten that look.
• 55:22
  Speaker 5: He looks like some of the dudes yeah that we
• 55:23
  Speaker 5: saw down the field and free game.
• 55:25
  Speaker 10: I was I was like, is that brock Lesner out
• 55:26
  Speaker 10: there in Jersey forty four.
• 55:29
  Speaker 7: That's Saturday seventies, you're streaming of the holiday ESPN.
• 55:32
  Speaker 9: OW John s Now like some of these, some of these,
• 55:37
  Speaker 9: like I'm pretty sure there's Chris Fowler, who's been there
• 55:40
  Speaker 9: for fucking ever. Like some of these old old school
• 55:43
  Speaker 9: sportscasters are gonna be like beside themselves, right that they.
• 55:47
  Speaker 5: Have to, like.
• 55:49
  Speaker 3: Right, they probably look down on for the longest time,
• 55:53
  Speaker 3: like the of course we're not doing that wrestling ship
• 55:56
  Speaker 3: and now they're sitting they're talking.
• 55:57
  Speaker 5: About it, like, oh wow, now he has to yuck
• 55:59
  Speaker 5: it up about.
• 56:02
  Speaker 3: It was ridic I'm sure he knows. I'm not saying
• 56:05
  Speaker 3: Louis Ridick is like a wrestling fan, but he at
• 56:07
  Speaker 3: least he sounded like he knew what he was talking about,
• 56:10
  Speaker 3: talking about brock Lessner and how massive that dude is.
• 56:13
  Speaker 9: Right, sure, yeah, but like, le course I was gonna
• 56:16
  Speaker 9: sit and talk about uh like I don't know.
• 56:26
  Speaker 5: Someone think it's called but I'm feeling it's like something
• 56:30
  Speaker 5: someone older older.
• 56:37
  Speaker 3: There are some people, but of course there are some
• 56:39
  Speaker 3: people at ESPN who probably are well, I'm almost certain
• 56:44
  Speaker 3: that there are some people at ESPN who are wrestling
• 56:46
  Speaker 3: fans and genuinely product and all that stuff, and some
• 56:50
  Speaker 3: who are, even if they're not week to week watching,
• 56:53
  Speaker 3: are still somewhat familiar with it. I think just this
• 56:57
  Speaker 3: past week, uh yesterday, in fact, on First Take, they
• 57:01
  Speaker 3: had Seth Brolins and Paul Hayman up there. They were
• 57:06
  Speaker 3: doing an interview with Steven A. Smith. And you know,
• 57:09
  Speaker 3: Steve Asmith has said it himself, like, you know, he
• 57:12
  Speaker 3: he used to watch it. He was a big fan
• 57:13
  Speaker 3: back to the day. He's not a week to week
• 57:15
  Speaker 3: watcher now, but he's in touch with the product enough
• 57:20
  Speaker 3: that he can talk with these people about the product,
• 57:23
  Speaker 3: about what's going on. And you could tell him and
• 57:26
  Speaker 3: Paul Haman have somewhat of a friendship together or some
• 57:30
  Speaker 3: friendly interaction just by the way they the back and
• 57:33
  Speaker 3: forth interaction that they were having. That's probably been built
• 57:35
  Speaker 3: up through the numerous appearances that Paul Hayman has made
• 57:38
  Speaker 3: on First Take, whether it was him and rock Leslan
• 57:41
  Speaker 3: showing up, or him and Roman showing up, and now
• 57:43
  Speaker 3: him and Seth showing up. So there's they have enough
• 57:48
  Speaker 3: people there at the company to respectfully, I guess is
• 57:53
  Speaker 3: the best word respectfully cover the product, as long as
• 57:57
  Speaker 3: they make sure they pick and choose care who they
• 58:02
  Speaker 3: let's talk about it and not have the old Monday
• 58:05
  Speaker 3: night football guy try to read a prompt for it,
• 58:09
  Speaker 3: who clearly doesn't know what the hell he's talking about.
• 58:11
  Speaker 9: But they, But they also when they when they launched
• 58:14
  Speaker 9: the WWE content on this app, which I don't have,
• 58:17
  Speaker 9: so I didn't see this is mine.
• 58:18
  Speaker 5: Own two eyes and I don't know what outside now,
• 58:21
  Speaker 5: but when it first launched, the.
• 58:24
  Speaker 9: Thumbnails they had for Rod SmackDown or whatever, or the
• 58:28
  Speaker 9: sections or whatever, we're just so out of date, like
• 58:31
  Speaker 9: you know, people haven't worked there for sixty years on
• 58:34
  Speaker 9: the summer, you know, like I even made like Carrico
• 58:38
  Speaker 9: and you know, like bron.
• 58:40
  Speaker 5: Strowman, and you know the people aren't around anymore or whatever.
• 58:42
  Speaker 9: It's like, obviously whoever did this just found something, found
• 58:46
  Speaker 9: the first picture they could find and stuck it out there.
• 58:49
  Speaker 5: I think it's just probably a.
• 58:50
  Speaker 4: Little placeholder, but definitely, Yeah.
• 58:53
  Speaker 5: As much as there are plenty of people that do
• 58:55
  Speaker 5: follow it, I'm sure there's finding people that couldn't give
• 58:57
  Speaker 5: a ship. And I mean it's gonna be anounce net.
• 58:59
  Speaker 9: I mean, and then we'll get a complete botch like
• 59:03
  Speaker 9: Chris Fowler gave, but it's not my father look forward to.
• 59:07
  Speaker 3: But to their credit, if you go on to ESPN's website,
• 59:10
  Speaker 3: WWE has its own section right there with everything else
• 59:14
  Speaker 3: is boxing, MMA, NFL, NBA, Racing, WWE.
• 59:21
  Speaker 5: Bah Yeah, well yeah.
• 59:25
  Speaker 6: What doesn't huh nice? All right, guys, let's let's get
• 59:31
  Speaker 6: into this card here. We only have five cards, five
• 59:34
  Speaker 6: matches on the card, which is kind of standard. Uh.
• 59:40
  Speaker 6: It is going to be in the Gainbridge Field House
• 59:44
  Speaker 6: in Indianapolis, Indiana. After this p l E will be
• 59:51
  Speaker 6: No Mercy. No Mercy is supposed to take place September
• 59:58
  Speaker 6: twenty seventh, NXT and that will be on Peacock still
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 6: nxc pls will be on Peacock for the remainder of
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 6: the year. But everything else.
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 9: I just read tell me that that has no plans
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 9: to put the put the library on there, So I
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 9: don't know what the fuck.
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 5: Is gonna have on the library.
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 6: Wonderful, but that's the whole separated disappear.
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 3: Well. They they currently have articles about the undisputed w
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 3: w E Championship history and articles on the w w
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 3: E Tag Team Championship history and.
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 4: Other things.
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 5: M hm hmmmmm.
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 6: Uh, let's start off with let's start with the win
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 6: his match. Here, we have EO Sky versus.
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 7: Uh.
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 6: Trust me, next episode, I'll try to get some other ones.
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 6: So when Naomi got pregnant, she was forced to vacate
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 6: the Women's World Championship. It created an opportunity for a
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 6: number one contenders and Stephanie and the former champion EO
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 6: Sky Uh to fight for the top prize on the
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 6: women's division. They're both popular baby faces right now, so
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 6: that's uh, it's a little creative difference right there. Normally
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 6: we always have one face.
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 5: That's the opportunity like they handed. I mean, I think
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 5: this should have been the match that I'm fine with that,
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 5: but they just handed that video.
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 11: That couldn't make We couldn't get a.
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 5: Couple of series of matches where EO come out earns it. Yeah,
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 5: I believe Harmony Hall it's time of shun you know,
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 5: guaranteed or whatever. So I have no problem with her
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 5: going right to the match. But like we couldn't have
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 5: had even the three winning on raw the winner faces
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 5: or something like that.
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 3: Anything, yeay with it in this sense, just because it
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 3: avoids the pretense and just gets to the thing that
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 3: we already knew was gonna happen. Like even if they
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 3: would have had a match like it'd been EO versus
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 3: Who versus who. You know, if they would have been
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 3: a match exactly, you know they're gonna throw Ria in
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 3: the match, and okay, they throw another third person in there.
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 3: That third person you know doesn't stand a chance.
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 5: So what you're really another opportunity for Io to Pinria.
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 5: We get to furner that story had a little more
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 5: depth to that.
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 3: But that exactly, and that's the thing that I want
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 3: to avoid for the moment. Again, I'm the person who's
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 3: advocated that this be a years in the making storyline
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 3: where Ria just can't beat Eo. But if you do
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 3: too much of it and a short time span, then
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 3: you almost kind of you speak. You shortened the timeline
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 3: before Rhea has to eventually go over. I think they
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 3: did it for a while. It was a storyline. Now
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 3: we can step back away from it and when the
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 3: time is right, we can get back to it. But
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 3: if they'd have done it again and just beat that
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 3: I won't say a dead horse, but if they'd have
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 3: beat that drum again, of damn once again Rhea can't
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 3: get it. Then you run the risk of people itching
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 3: to have Ria go over too soon, and then you
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 3: end up having to get to that climax a little
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 3: too soon because you've done so much of it at
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 3: this point in such a short condensed time frame. So
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 3: I'm okay with the fact that they didn't do it
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 3: this time, and they just again skipped all the pretests
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 3: and just got to EO versus you know, Stephanie Vequer.
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 3: So this is what instance where I'm I'm fine with
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 3: them just picking and not just giving us yet another
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 3: tournament or another triple threat with an outcome that we
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 3: already know is gonna happen.
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 4: Mm hm, just skip it and get to it.
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 5: While we're there.
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 6: Uh yeah, let's get into let's get into this. Uh
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 6: I think, uh we're gonna have Stephanie walk away with
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 6: the title given. I know EOS guy is so over
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 6: right now. But the intense rivalry she's having with Damage
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 6: Control for former damage control teammates, the Kabuki Warriors, Yeah,
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 6: she's opposed to partner up with Ria Ripley, probably to
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 6: settle it. Uh, not poised a should say to partner
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 6: up with Ria Ripley to settle it. It'd be interesting
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 6: to see Stephanie with the title. I don't know all
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 6: much about her from NXT, but I do like her.
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 4: She couldn't nuts.
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 6: Huh.
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 4: She cooked, Yeah, she was cooking n XT and uh.
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 6: I think it'd be awesome. Sometimes like an opportunity like
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 6: this comes along where you can get thrown into the spotlight.
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 6: And I think they're gonna put on hell of a
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 6: match because I mean, you're you're doing it with fucking
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 6: Eo Sky. She's gonna give you a great fucking match.
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 6: I don't see any interference though, like I don't see
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 6: the Kabookie Warriors interfering. I think she's gonna lose clean
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 6: and then I think the drama will unfold afterwards. But yeah,
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 6: definitely for the wind Drey.
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 3: I agree that Stephanie Vickerr is gonna win, Yeah, but
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 3: I do think that there's I disagree that she's gonna
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 3: win clean. I think that in some way, shape or form,
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 3: shenanigans are going to happen m because and that's gonna
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 3: cost EO the win, and that's gonna create more tension
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 3: between her and OSCA, and somehow real will probably get
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 3: dragged into this as well, because I ain't the way
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 3: they're about to have.
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 4: This Russell Baluza show. And Rea Ripley ain't on this
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 4: motherfucker somewhere exactly like it just just ain't nowhere. That's
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 4: just not happening.
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 3: They gonna get her in this on that television screen
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 3: some way, shape or form, and it's gonna happen in
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 3: this match, and that's gonna end up costing EO the match,
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 3: and it's gonna just create more tension, which will ultimately,
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 3: you know, move that story lying forward. And that's what
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 3: makes and that storyline is so great because it doesn't
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 3: need the title. They can just have tension and beef
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 3: with each other for personal reasons, whereas Stephanie can move
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 3: on as the champion and begin to take on challengers,
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 3: probably starting with Judgment Day and eventually maybe a Becky
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 3: Lynch or a Bailey if whenever Bailey, whatever side her
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 3: brain wants to be on week to week. But there's
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 3: space for you know, Stephanie Vicaire to be a fighting
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 3: champion while the story and the drama is taking place
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 3: with EO and Osca and Rhea, which I don't think
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 3: it's going to be settled in a tag match. I
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 3: think a tag match is just going to be another step,
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 3: another chapter in the story. The ultimate settling or the
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 3: ultimate climax of this is going to be EO versus
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 3: Oskam at point, whether that's a whether that's a Survivor
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 3: Series match, or this storyline plays out to the Rumble
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 3: or I'd be hard pressed to see how they could
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 3: pull it off. But if somehow they manage to drag
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 3: this fucker all the way to WrestleMania, that'd be a
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 3: long ass story to tell at the rate they're going
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 3: right now. But that's that's gonna be to me. The
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 3: climax of the storyline is EO versus Oscar, one on
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 3: one at.
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 4: A pl.
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 3: But for the match, yourself, Stephie Vicer wins due to
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 3: outside interference from somebody either Oscar or Kyrie or Real.
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 3: One of those three cost Eo the title and stephaniely
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 3: picks up the win.
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 4: What do you think?
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 5: Yeah, well, we're all in agreement. I think we're getting
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 5: this first time champion here, I believe. Yeah, it's funny
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 5: when you said you thought that.
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 9: There wouldn't in interference and I was thinking of myself
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 9: if if there's good, if any of these matches are
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 9: gonna have interference, it's gonna be this. Yeah, just going
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 9: on the same line, the great us that every Ripley
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 9: is absolutely going to be on the show somehow.
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 5: Uh, and this is the spot to be in and
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 5: it's he is, I mean the OA and Cayrie Thane
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 5: will be also. Uh yeah, I mean ordinarily, I feel like, uh, you.
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 14: Know, it's so early for step she even remembered the
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 14: company a year or maybe just a little over.
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 9: And at this point, you know, normally with some of
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 9: the magnificant the title tie and I go on too soon,
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 9: they're not destables enough. But at fuh hell, I mean,
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 9: in fact, this this is this is matching the night,
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 9: if not managing of the Year contender.
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 5: Possibly.
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 9: I feel like, not necessarily her fault, but I feel like,
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 9: you haven't been champion a couple of times lately.
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 5: Uh, those reigns have kind of been not so memorable. Uh,
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 5: not really her fault. She just hasn't been given a
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 5: lot to do. I feel like last time she was championed,
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 5: she didn't have a match for two months or something
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 5: like that.
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 9: Uh, it's not her fault, but I mean just definitely
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 9: about Carings just such a unique charisma to her.
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 5: She just looks She's like effortlessly cool. Uh you know,
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 5: and you know English isn't the greatest, but it doesn't
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 5: even matter.
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 14: I kind of like her not talking much.
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 5: She just kind of had an aura about her that
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 5: into one of thoms you can't teach things.
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 15: She just has a she has a special unique quality
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 15: that nobody else has. Nobody else can do it. And
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 15: don't see what you got on. I hope they ever
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 15: stopped to do because she should be a fun rain.
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 5: She's incredible. She's a joy to watch and I'm looking
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 5: forward to see which where she goes next.
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and she parlayed it perfectly, like the way she said,
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 3: you know, English is not my first language, but wrestling is.
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 3: Like that's the perfect fucking catchphrase. They put that shit
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 3: on the shirt and I'm sure that shirt is selling well. Yeah,
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 3: and she already has the look like she looks great
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 3: with a belt on her, Like I see some people
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 3: like you see them holding it title and it's like, yeah,
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 3: it looks right around their waist. She looks like they
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 3: look right with a championship belt around their waist. Stephanie
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 3: big Err is one of those. Yeah, when she had
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 3: that NXT North American Championship and when she had the
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 3: NXT Women's Championship and she was rocking it, it just
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 3: looks right on her. And I just know when when
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 3: she you see her put that Women's World Championship, world
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 3: title around her waist, it's gonna look right mm hmm.
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 5: Yeah. I mean, and she's just she has it, you know,
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 5: whatever whatever it is, she's got it, m m.
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 9: You know, she gives had a little a little tiny
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 9: little smile in the corner of her mouth that she does,
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 9: and she kind of looks side to side when she
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 9: she has it.
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 3: I don't know, that intensity and just something as simple
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 3: as when she just holds that one up and it's like, yep,
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 3: yep it Aura for days, effortless Aura.
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 6: All Right, guys, let's move on to the next match.
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 6: Yea and Ski the USO's Jimmy and Jay USO versus
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 6: The Vision, Bronson, Reed and bron Breaker and just a
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 6: standard old tag match. You know, we haven't seen Jimmy
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 6: and Jay back together since last March.
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 6: It's you know, I think it's awesome moment to have
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 6: them back together because these guys have had such huge
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 6: like character development for you know, the past year. Jay
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 6: obviously way over more than Jimmy, but there has been
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 6: a slight character a change in Jay as of recent
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 6: If anybody watched I believe it was SmackDown the other night,
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 6: was it smack or was it Wraw? Jimmy brought up, Yeah,
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 6: that's right. Jimmy brought up the fact that you know,
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 6: Jay usso was acting more like the otc Roman reigns.
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 6: You know, could we see a heel turn?
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 4: I don't.
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 6: I don't think so. Just a bigger character development for Jay.
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 6: And you know, also where does this leave Jimmy. There's
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 6: also the involvement in this match. I'd say this is
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 6: probably gonna be an interference, and I think it's gonna
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 6: involve Ellie Knight because the way it ended the other
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 6: night with Ellie Knight shaking his hand but then laying
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 6: his ass out. I don't think it's over. You know,
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 6: he got the last laugh. I don't think it's over.
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 6: You know, I think them losing this match is gonna suck.
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 6: You know, all signs point to the USA is winning
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 6: this match. You know, the faces going over and sending
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 6: everybody home happy and eating right. I just I don't
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 6: think so. I think with what recently unfolded, you know,
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 6: this week with l A. Knight, I think he's gonna
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 6: interfere somehow and it's gonna cause Jaye to maybe super
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 6: kick or spear Jimmy by accident caused something to happen,
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 6: a slip up, and that's all it takes. And you know,
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 6: Bronzing and bron Breaker getting taken more of a serious
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 6: tag team right now to beat the USOS. That's a
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 6: big win, especially with the USAS in this state. So
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 6: I'm giving the win to the Heels the vision, Drey,
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 6: what do you think.
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 3: I gotta disagree with you there. I think I think
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 3: the U Sols take it. I think they take it
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 3: fairly cleanly. The fact that La Knight got his lick
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 3: back this past Monday after Jay got him the week prior.
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 3: I don't see any reason for him to interfere in
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 3: this match. Like if he runs out there, who's he
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 3: running out there for? You know, he's not going he's running.
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 3: He's not running out there to get a lick back
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 3: on Jay. He already did that. I don't see much
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 3: reason for him to run out there and try to
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 3: get another lick in on the Vision in this match.
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 3: He got what he wanted this past Monday. He got
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 3: his match, you know, Adam. Adam Pierce asked, what do
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 3: you want? I want a piece of the Vision. Adam
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 3: gave him a piece of division. He had to find
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 3: his partner. Like La Knight, got what he wanted this
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 3: past Monday. There's no reason for him to come out
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 3: and try to double dip again this past Saturday. I
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 3: think they did that on Monday to keep him out
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 3: of the match on Saturday. So I think this match
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 3: is just going to be a straight up tag team
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 3: match and the USOS are just going to go over clean.
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 3: What happens from here, we'll see the following Monday what happens.
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 3: But as far as this match itself, I think the
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 3: USOS will go over clean. I think they get the Vision.
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 3: Can't sweep Tonight, can't sweep to Night. So someone's gotta
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 3: win and somebody's got to lose. So the losers are
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 3: going to be Bronze Incorporated.
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 6: Duell break break this time man, Well not really a tie,
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 6: but yeah, break break this decision here.
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 2: Who are you thinking, yeah, well, I think they want
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 2: us to James might be turning here, but I think that.
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 11: Would be absolutely.
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 16: It just doesn't make a h it was, you know,
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 16: when the guy's selling murk and stupid entence.
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 11: In perfect But I do think we're gonna get a heeltair.
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 5: Uh.
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 11: I think it's gonna be Jimmy or L. A.
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 5: Knight.
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 11: I think I fished l A. Knight going in the
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 11: vision a couple.
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 5: Of weeks ago.
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 11: I think I still might be there. But I'll tell
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 11: you what. I think it's Jimmy heelchair here and I
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 11: do him wonders.
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 5: Uh.
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 4: I mean the Jay is.
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 11: Already at the top of the card. Basically, he's had
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 11: a word here.
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 16: He's just you know, these levels higher he can go, sure,
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 16: but he's about as high as he's gonna get.
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 5: Uh.
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 11: And I think Jimmy, I think it's sounds for him
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 11: to you know, level up himself.
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 6: Uh.
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 16: Finally, you know, maybe that just means a midcard ron
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 16: the less Tardy or something like that in the future,
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 16: but I think that, I mean, he needs to shake
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 16: up for some time.
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 5: Ah.
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 16: And I think that would I think that would be
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 16: good for him, something something different to do. Uh, so,
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 16: I think bron and Brown and Corporated go over, and
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 16: I think Jimmy or l. A.
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 11: Knight end up turning here.
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 16: And if Italian Night, I think he probably joined the Vision,
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 16: but I'm.
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 11: Not sure that's so I'm want to go with the
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 11: bad guys.
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 3: I still struggle to see l. A. Knight turning l A.
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 3: Knight turning heel. Sure, and that's that's not a not
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 3: a bad thing, right, I just can't see him turning
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 3: heel and then joining the vision.
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 11: Extreme almost killed and that's kind of have he got it?
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 16: I think, I think that takes us.
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 11: I see what even fighting attitude I think, I mean.
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I mean that's worked for Bronson Reid because
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 3: Bronson reads not an alpha. Ellie Knight is, at at
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 3: least within the context of w W E is an alpha.
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 3: It's very rare that factions work with more than one alpha.
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 3: Extremely rare, in fact, I'd.
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 4: Be you'd be hard press right now.
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 3: I struggle off the top of my head to think
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 3: of factions that worked with multiple alphas at the same time,
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 3: because even if you think about Degeneration X Shawn Michael's
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 3: in Triple H, they were both alphas in the last
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 3: run that they had when it was just basically them
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 3: two and that was basically a shell of what d
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 3: X was.
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 5: He's just to play the greatest what's that.
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 11: That that that was one of the one guys still
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 11: alive from the.
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 16: Band is out there playing the four young dudes and.
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 11: Thirty years ago. Yeah, that's right the vision.
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 6: Hell no, Yeah, I don't see that happening either.
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 14: No, I think heal.
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 6: Me and I don't think it did.
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 3: And it didn't work. Yeah, now he needs something, but
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 3: I don't know that a he'll turn.
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 6: Is it he needs Ski, he and Skip. I'm telling
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 6: you it would work.
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 3: It's something that he needs, but I don't know. There's
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 3: he needs to rub from somebody. I think he needs
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 3: somebody to give him the rub to help, you know,
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 3: change him, change his outlook or change that. Whether it's
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 3: Jay that gives him the rub and that motivates him
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 3: to get a single title of his own, or Roman
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 3: gives him the rub or something. I think he needs
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 3: to rub from somebody to push him to become a
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 3: singles champion on his own. Or maybe he's just destined
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 3: to be the forever mid card, you know. M I
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 3: hate to say side dude, but that guy h said
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 3: no because Jay, I mean Jay. Jimmy, to his credit,
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 3: has a lot of assets or a lot of attributes
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 3: that Jay does not have. Like, I don't think there's
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 3: a dispute between anybody that Jimmy is by far the
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 3: better one on the mic. Jay may have the catchphrases,
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 3: but as far as just actual talking, Jimmy is way better.
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 6: I actually way better. Yeah, before the yeat, before yeat happened. Yeah,
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 6: that's where you can really tell who was better on
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 6: the mic before you Eat happened.
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Jimmy was doing the most of the talking in
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 3: the promo, and then Jay would be the one kind
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 3: of backing him up and ad libbing a little bit.
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 4: But Jimmy was the real talker, Like funk, if.
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 3: Jimmy had if Jay had Jimmy's mike skills, Jay would
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 3: be Roman two point zero right now, was a.
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 2: Gumpfter earlier this year said said to Jimmy, like, what
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 2: would have happened if he would said he first or something.
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 3: Like that, something like that. Yeah, yeah, I think that
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 3: was right now. I think that was the same episode
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 3: where Jimmy slapped the dog shot his ass.
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I think you're right.
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 4: Like Jimmy has.
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 3: Jimmy has trades, he's got he's got the ability to
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 3: talk on the mic.
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 4: He just doesn't have Jay's aura. M j just has
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 4: the presence. He just has the aura and the health.
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 3: It's the other thing that's hurted Jimmy a lot injuries.
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 11: Yeah, every time they get him going.
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 6: All right, guys, let's uh, let's move on to the
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 6: next match.
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 3: Here.
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 6: Next match, we got Cody Rhodes our undisputed WW Champion
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 6: versus three McIntyre. On August eighth episode of SmackDown, Undisputed
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 6: Champion Cody Roads and Drew McIntyre were involved in a
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 6: tag match, with Rhodes team winning via disqualification. Following the match,
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 6: McIntire tacked Roads with the title belt and performed a
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 6: Claymore kick on Rhodes through the announced table. Later September
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 6: twelfth episode SmackDown, after McIntyre defeated Rhodes longtime friend Randy Orton,
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 6: McIntyre was about to perform a clayey More kick on
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 6: Orton through the announced table. However, Rhodes return and assisted Orton.
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 6: Following a brawl with McIntyre, Rhoades stated that he would
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 6: see McIntyre at Wressell Palooza, and a title match was
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 6: confirmed for this event. Let me ask you, guys, either
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 6: of you guys excited for this fucking match?
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 3: I mean, the match itself is gonna be good. I'm
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 3: looking at this as maybe first chapter in a feud,
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 3: in a multi match feud. I don't think this is
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 3: gonna be a one and done where Okay, Cody Beach
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 3: Drew and then Drew just disappears and goes off to
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 3: something else, right. I think these two are going to
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 3: be feuding, probably for the rest of the year.
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 6: I could, I could believe that.
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 6: I mean, like, I think the reason why it's been
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 6: so lacklesser and and it's pretty obvious it's Cody has
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 6: been gone for a while. He's been filming Street Fighter.
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 6: This is why I was I think the last p L.
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 6: I was not a fan of Cody just winning this
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 6: title to begin with, because I knew when he would
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 6: win this title, and then he was leaving right away.
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 6: It's like, I don't know, That's why I don't feel
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 6: so much.
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 5: For this whole thing.
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 2: The whole thing, and the lead up for the Roman
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 2: Mats was oh, I'm going to be a champion actually
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 2: sticks around.
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 11: Right now, He's whatever.
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I right though, I think we're going to get
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 6: a feud here, and within that feud, I think it's
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 6: going to absolutely better.
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but I mean before we completely, you know, start
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 3: dunking on Cody, he ain't Roman levels yet. Like this
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 3: is probably I think this year is probably the most
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 3: time he's been away from w WE outside of injury
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 3: in quite some time.
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 5: Oh yeah, I know, I'm not.
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 3: Like, you know, he had a he had a brief
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 3: you know, hiatus after WrestleMania, which I think was well
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 3: deserved because he pretty much grinded out all of too
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 3: winning twenty four through twenty twenty five before dropping it
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 3: to see Danny took up you know, brief hiatus before
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 3: coming back and building up the Summer Slam, and then
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 3: he had.
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 4: A movie role.
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 3: And now he's back, and I imagine he'll probably be
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 3: on every freaking SmackDown from now through the rest of
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 3: the year. So I mean, he's he's I'm okay with
• 1:26:50
  Speaker 3: an occasional break for a champion. I don't take any
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 3: issue with him winning the title at WrestleMania. I mean
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 3: at SummerSlam, even if it meant he was about to
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 3: immediately take off role to film a movie, because I mean,
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 3: what was the alternative the title stale on John Cena
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 3: with his you know, three and a half dates left
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 3: for the year.
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 6: Yeah, good car.
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 3: I'm okay, I'm okay with Cody. You haven't done it,
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 3: even if he took a break just to come back.
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 11: And yeah, yeah, yeah, the pumably when he.
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 6: Was Doyle, you sound like you're like far away, like
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 6: you're going in and out your audio.
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 11: You haven't had an audio issues. I'll come back. I'll
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 11: leave him come back, Yeah, then come back.
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I guess to this, as far as this match
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 3: itself goes, I said, I think it's gonna be a
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 3: good match. I think this is, like I said, the
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 3: start of and ongoing feuds kind of hard to predict
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 3: where it's going to culminate at, given that the pay
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 3: per view or the Plee calendar for the rest of
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 3: the year is still somewhat unknown.
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 4: I mean, we've got what we know.
• 1:28:24
  Speaker 3: We got Survivor series, We've got a Crown Jewel in Australia,
• 1:28:31
  Speaker 3: and then what else do we have other than that
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 3: this knowing? I mean a couple of Saturday Night main events.
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 3: But outside that, we don't really any other pls I
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 3: think are still unannounced as of now. Granted there's probably
• 1:28:45
  Speaker 3: only one that's unannounced because of what Survivor Series will
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 3: probably be November.
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 4: Crown Jewel is what October.
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 3: I'm guessing yeah.
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 5: Right now?
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 3: So yeah, so, I mean, hell that might be yeah,
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 3: I mean, that might be it for the year. The
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 3: Crowd Jewel and Summer and SURVIVI Series might be the
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 3: last two p ls of the year, giving it where
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 3: in September and we got right, Yeah, so Crown Jewel
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 3: this weekend, then there's a month build up for I
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 3: mean Russell Palooza this weekend, then a month build up
• 1:29:34
  Speaker 3: for Crown Jewel, and then probably another month build up
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 3: for Survivors Series, and then Saturday Night made event in
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 3: December to close out the year. So I mean, I
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 3: could see the Matt you know, Cody winning. Now Crowd Jewel,
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 3: we get maybe a rematch or something else with the
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 3: stipulation or or something else going there, and then they'll
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 3: figure some shit out.
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 4: For Survivor Series.
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, like those two will be on opposite
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 3: side of some sort of Survivor Series match, perhaps right.
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 6: I mean, I think I'm gonna enjoy this match. Uh
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 6: you know, I I think Cody Road is gonna come
• 1:30:19
  Speaker 6: out with the w for this one. They didn't have
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 6: him go through all the struggle of winning this title
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 6: back just to lose it, even though I man, I
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 6: would love to see Drew McIntyre with another title run,
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 6: a longer title run.
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 1:30:35
  Speaker 6: Man, that guy get shafted when it comes to the
• 1:30:36
  Speaker 6: world titles when and where he gets them. But uh, yeah,
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 6: I'm I'm.
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 4: Hoping challenger at some point he's got to come through.
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 6: Yeah, exactly. So yeah, I mean for what's on the card,
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 6: I'm I'm you know, I'm content with it. Like I'm
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 6: just I just think, like I said this, the build
• 1:30:58
  Speaker 6: up to it was not all that much for me.
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 6: But I think the next time we're talking about this,
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 6: my tone will probably change. But yeah, Cody for the win. Doyle,
• 1:31:11
  Speaker 6: if you're still there.
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 5: Yeah, do I sound better? Okay?
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 4: All right?
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 5: Good.
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 9: If this was just a regular role pay per view,
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 9: I would think maybe a little differently about it.
• 1:31:27
  Speaker 5: But it's the first ESPN.
• 1:31:29
  Speaker 4: Thing, and I think there's a not.
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 5: Totally impossible chance that they want to.
• 1:31:35
  Speaker 9: Do something shocking on this first show, and I could
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 9: see and like, I think Drey said, it doesn't feel
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 9: like the last match is at the first match, and I.
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 13: Think it is.
• 1:31:45
  Speaker 5: But I think the series maybe Cody trying to get
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 5: his title back.
• 1:31:50
  Speaker 6: Uh.
• 1:31:50
  Speaker 5: You said Drew has to win this at some point.
• 1:31:52
  Speaker 5: I agree with you. I think maybe, just maybe they
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 5: want to do something crazy, something.
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 9: Shocking, something big moment on this first so you know,
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 9: something viral on this first ESPN show.
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 5: But I think there's an outside chance.
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 9: I don't think it's a fourgone conclusion that COVID's going
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 9: to retain the title. I think it's most likely, but
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 9: I don't think it's I don't think we can totally
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 9: just out.
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 5: Of the potets say Drew has no chance.
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 17: I think he's got a better chance than he would have,
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 17: but any other non Big five or four, however many
• 1:32:30
  Speaker 17: big pay per views we have now, if it wasn't
• 1:32:33
  Speaker 17: this first ESPN.
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 9: To do show, but it is, I think Threw has
• 1:32:41
  Speaker 9: a decent shot of following up set here, and of
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 9: course that's who I'll.
• 1:32:45
  Speaker 4: Be written for.
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 3: You make a compelling argument, and I would probably be
• 1:32:54
  Speaker 3: inclined to believe to agree with you.
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 5: That.
• 1:32:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it'd be you know, big show. You know, give
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 3: us something to talk about, give something for everybody talk about,
• 1:33:07
  Speaker 3: give us that that big oh ship moment, that shock moment,
• 1:33:11
  Speaker 3: the thing that goes viral. I would be inclined to
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 3: believe in all of that if it weren't for a
• 1:33:18
  Speaker 3: little thing that WWE has done called Saturday Night Main Event.
• 1:33:23
  Speaker 3: When they brought that ship back and they were we
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 3: were breaking the same everything you're saying now about your
• 1:33:30
  Speaker 3: We were saying the same thing about NBC when they
• 1:33:34
  Speaker 3: brought that ship back, like it's they gotta do this,
• 1:33:37
  Speaker 3: they gotta do that, And they played that motherfucker safe
• 1:33:41
  Speaker 3: as hell.
• 1:33:43
  Speaker 9: I mean, the loge, the logic of Cody just won
• 1:33:45
  Speaker 9: this title, he's not losing. It makes a lot, you know,
• 1:33:48
  Speaker 9: makes perfect, perfect tense.
• 1:33:51
  Speaker 3: I'm inclined that they're gonna go for the Saturday Night
• 1:33:56
  Speaker 3: Made Event formula and play this ship safe as fuck.
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 14: That's a very good point.
• 1:34:06
  Speaker 3: I would love it if they did give us a shocker,
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 3: like you know, Drew pulling off the upset and winning,
• 1:34:11
  Speaker 3: and then yeah, Cody has to spend the rest of
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 3: the year chasing to get the title back, and we
• 1:34:16
  Speaker 3: get a couple of months of Drew as ww champion.
• 1:34:19
  Speaker 3: That'd be pretty fucking awesome. I just don't trust WWE
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 3: to be that bold anymore.
• 1:34:26
  Speaker 9: Yeah, it's fair, and I think we might get a shocker,
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 9: shocking moment, viral kind of moment in a different match anyway,
• 1:34:38
  Speaker 9: which we will talk about later.
• 1:34:40
  Speaker 6: M hm uh yeah, let's move on to the next
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 6: match I have. Let me scroll down here. Yeah, well,
• 1:34:48
  Speaker 6: I got two left seam Punk and aj Lee versus
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 6: Seth Freaking Rollins and Becky Lynch in a mixed tag
• 1:34:56
  Speaker 6: team match. I'll be honest, this is the mix tag
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 6: match I've been waiting for for a very long time.
• 1:35:04
  Speaker 6: This might be my could be my very favorite mixed
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 6: tag match. We've had mixed tag matches in the past.
• 1:35:11
  Speaker 6: I'm not talking about the tournament, uh the mixed I
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 6: did too, but I'm not gonna be.
• 1:35:21
  Speaker 9: But I hope they I hope they put them doing.
• 1:35:24
  Speaker 9: Uh do a mixed tag team title. We don't have
• 1:35:28
  Speaker 9: enough titles. We need everyone to have a title.
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 6: Everybody needs a title.
• 1:35:33
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:35:34
  Speaker 6: I think out of all the mixed tag matches that
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 6: there have been, I think this one's my most anticipated.
• 1:35:39
  Speaker 6: Uh does it get any realer than this, you know,
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 6: with having uh two real couples in there, so I
• 1:35:47
  Speaker 6: expect the chemistry to be fucking good.
• 1:35:50
  Speaker 5: They can have a whole couple's divisions. Yeah, yeah, at
• 1:35:53
  Speaker 5: this point, whole couples of mixed.
• 1:35:55
  Speaker 9: Tag division and uh delin Ovan Alestair Blair. Yeah, all
• 1:36:03
  Speaker 9: the couples, definitely. And that deaf kid, what's his name,
• 1:36:09
  Speaker 9: mild mild something.
• 1:36:12
  Speaker 5: I don't know.
• 1:36:12
  Speaker 6: He's not I don't think he's a listener of the show.
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 5: No, he's probably all right, I'll set up now going.
• 1:36:26
  Speaker 6: Uh ship, Yeah, I mean this is going back. This
• 1:36:30
  Speaker 6: tension has been going all the way back to November
• 1:36:33
  Speaker 6: twenty twenty three when punk Ass returned, and now you
• 1:36:37
  Speaker 6: got a rare chance with Becky and Seth both being heels,
• 1:36:43
  Speaker 6: both having titles. Don't get me wrong, I would love
• 1:36:48
  Speaker 6: to have Becky have had the women's world title in
• 1:36:51
  Speaker 6: this situation, but uh, you know, Intercontinental title will do.
• 1:36:55
  Speaker 6: It'll elevated, I guess right. Just sucks. It kind of
• 1:37:00
  Speaker 6: puts those two titles out of commission for the you know,
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 6: for the pay per view. They're not being put on
• 1:37:07
  Speaker 6: the line. But it's fine. I don't see a j
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 6: Lee pursuing the IC title and winning it anytime soon.
• 1:37:19
  Speaker 6: But I do see them both going over on this match.
• 1:37:23
  Speaker 6: I see, I would think a j Lee being the
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 6: one to I don't know if i'd say pin, but
• 1:37:30
  Speaker 6: maybe make Becky tap out, make her submit. I'm thinking
• 1:37:37
  Speaker 6: that's how we're gonna end this match. But I understand
• 1:37:40
  Speaker 6: how the other day we had a j Lee come
• 1:37:42
  Speaker 6: out with her music. For sure the pay per view
• 1:37:44
  Speaker 6: we were having Punk's music hit though, But yeah, you're
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 6: not going to bring a j Lee back after ten
• 1:37:53
  Speaker 6: years just for her to lose her first match. So Dre,
• 1:37:58
  Speaker 6: do you agree? Disagree?
• 1:38:01
  Speaker 5: No?
• 1:38:01
  Speaker 3: I agree, Yeah, you're not bringing aj Lee back after
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 3: ten years to have her lose her first match. That's
• 1:38:08
  Speaker 3: why Becky has been putting in overtime to sell for
• 1:38:12
  Speaker 3: aj Lee and act like she's terrified or scared of
• 1:38:16
  Speaker 3: her until the bring they're in the ring and they
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 3: have the match, and then obviously, you know Becky will
• 1:38:22
  Speaker 3: put that work in on her but eventually do the
• 1:38:26
  Speaker 3: job to get her over. You know, one thing Becky
• 1:38:29
  Speaker 3: has shown that she has no problem with is putting
• 1:38:32
  Speaker 3: people over. So yeah, Seth and you know Punk, they've
• 1:38:39
  Speaker 3: done their thing back and forth. We've seen that plenty.
• 1:38:42
  Speaker 3: Obviously there's that feuds far from over, but this right
• 1:38:47
  Speaker 3: now is about aj Lee. The couple thing, you know,
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 3: is just basically so to help help lift her up
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 3: so that she's not trying to carry a full match
• 1:38:59
  Speaker 3: in her first match. He's her back and let her
• 1:39:02
  Speaker 3: get the ring rust off, let her get back into
• 1:39:04
  Speaker 3: the flow, into the mix of things, and then let
• 1:39:07
  Speaker 3: her go over on Becky to have the big celebration,
• 1:39:11
  Speaker 3: the big welcome back to win, and then we'll go
• 1:39:14
  Speaker 3: from here and see what she does.
• 1:39:20
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean, do we know if she's just doing
• 1:39:22
  Speaker 9: this match or coming back full time or coming back
• 1:39:26
  Speaker 9: part time.
• 1:39:27
  Speaker 3: You know, she's back full time. She has re signed
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 3: with w w E as full time competitor. Yeah, they
• 1:39:34
  Speaker 3: they showed a she had a video on her the
• 1:39:38
  Speaker 3: video and social media. After the same night she came
• 1:39:40
  Speaker 3: back in Chicago of her signing a WWE contract, backstage
• 1:39:45
  Speaker 3: with her Triple Ah signing a contract. So this is
• 1:39:49
  Speaker 3: not just a one off or a momentary thing. She
• 1:39:53
  Speaker 3: is back in the mix, full throttle, full time competitive.
• 1:40:01
  Speaker 18: I think after the last pay per view when when
• 1:40:04
  Speaker 18: this was obviously what was going to be happening. I
• 1:40:07
  Speaker 18: think I poop pooed the ship out of bringing uh
• 1:40:09
  Speaker 18: h Lee back after all this time.
• 1:40:11
  Speaker 5: But I gotta tell you, you know, credit where credit
• 1:40:14
  Speaker 5: is due. I thought her her comeback promo was fantastic.
• 1:40:19
  Speaker 12: Uh.
• 1:40:20
  Speaker 5: You know, I never thought of here a crowd chating therapy.
• 1:40:24
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 1:40:24
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that was that was pretty good.
• 1:40:29
  Speaker 9: It remains to me seen what she looks like in
• 1:40:31
  Speaker 9: the ring, you know, whether she looks more like Becky
• 1:40:33
  Speaker 9: or Bella.
• 1:40:34
  Speaker 5: You know, I'm kind of in a still a little
• 1:40:37
  Speaker 5: skeptical there, but man, I don't remember Karen for her
• 1:40:42
  Speaker 5: very much.
• 1:40:43
  Speaker 9: But I really loved that promo and I thought she
• 1:40:46
  Speaker 9: was great The next week, uh, when it was the
• 1:40:49
  Speaker 9: four of them doing the promo, and I was kind
• 1:40:51
  Speaker 9: of glad that that uh fucking her stupid ass husband
• 1:40:54
  Speaker 9: uh took kind of a back seat, you know and
• 1:40:58
  Speaker 9: let her cook, you know.
• 1:41:00
  Speaker 5: And of course Becky is fucking amazing that. Uh. I
• 1:41:04
  Speaker 5: think this should be a lot of fun. Yeah.
• 1:41:07
  Speaker 9: I think Wayne said they're not bringing her back after
• 1:41:10
  Speaker 9: a decade, and I mean, I think so much more
• 1:41:14
  Speaker 9: older than I thought she would be, and especially given
• 1:41:18
  Speaker 9: that I can't imagine that the punker and a J
• 1:41:24
  Speaker 9: don't go over. And I feel like that's has just
• 1:41:29
  Speaker 9: been getting getting over and getting over and getting over
• 1:41:33
  Speaker 9: getting over on Phil.
• 1:41:34
  Speaker 5: There it's about times he gets a gets a win and.
• 1:41:40
  Speaker 9: You know you can have have him and you know
• 1:41:42
  Speaker 9: whether or not he pins Rollins or a J caps
• 1:41:46
  Speaker 9: or pins Becky is one thing with probably the latter.
• 1:41:49
  Speaker 5: But you can still.
• 1:41:50
  Speaker 14: It's some way to get punk a win over without
• 1:41:53
  Speaker 14: having expensed the title.
• 1:41:54
  Speaker 5: All right, let punk chase a little more. I think
• 1:41:57
  Speaker 5: eventually punk will.
• 1:41:58
  Speaker 14: Be important matter what, everyone won't wake all kind of thing, right.
• 1:42:11
  Speaker 5: Oh no, no, yeah, I think the fans at the
• 1:42:15
  Speaker 5: paces will be going over.
• 1:42:17
  Speaker 3: I think.
• 1:42:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean yeah, like you said, AJ has been
• 1:42:23
  Speaker 4: doing great work.
• 1:42:23
  Speaker 3: I mean tbd what she's going to be in the ring.
• 1:42:27
  Speaker 3: Whether she's more of a tris stratus who shows that,
• 1:42:32
  Speaker 3: you know, despite you know, what she did during her time,
• 1:42:36
  Speaker 3: she's more than capable of working with the women of
• 1:42:39
  Speaker 3: today and going toe to toe with them, or you know,
• 1:42:43
  Speaker 3: is she, like I said, more of a Nikki Bello
• 1:42:46
  Speaker 3: who's likes needs to be carried by today's talent more
• 1:42:52
  Speaker 3: so than holding her own. I'm inclined to think to
• 1:42:56
  Speaker 3: believe that a j can be more trist Stratt the
• 1:43:00
  Speaker 3: Nikki Bella and show that you know, now that she's
• 1:43:04
  Speaker 3: got the caliper of talent to work with, she can
• 1:43:08
  Speaker 3: rock with them, and she can she can go toe
• 1:43:11
  Speaker 3: to toe with them. That's what That's what I'm hoping for.
• 1:43:14
  Speaker 3: That's what I want to believe. And he obviously showed
• 1:43:18
  Speaker 3: that she can go on the mic with him. I mean,
• 1:43:20
  Speaker 3: she's been giving us a line pretty much in every
• 1:43:22
  Speaker 3: promo that she's had so far. Like I was laughing
• 1:43:26
  Speaker 3: this past Monday when she said, you know, I'm a
• 1:43:28
  Speaker 3: Puerto Rican from New Jersey.
• 1:43:29
  Speaker 4: Sometimes I'll shake a chick.
• 1:43:33
  Speaker 5: Yeah. No, She's been great and like just just so likable.
• 1:43:37
  Speaker 5: H And you know, like I said about Stephanie.
• 1:43:40
  Speaker 9: Delcrow, Uh, she just has has not just cosma, it's
• 1:43:44
  Speaker 9: kind of a unique sort of charisma.
• 1:43:47
  Speaker 5: That has, you know, as a vibe that's her own.
• 1:43:54
  Speaker 9: Like I said, I don't have fond memories of her
• 1:43:56
  Speaker 9: from ten years ago, but I really have enjoyed her
• 1:43:58
  Speaker 9: to her too promo. So as much as I was,
• 1:44:03
  Speaker 9: you know, down or negative on the whole idea of
• 1:44:06
  Speaker 9: bringing her back, I'm much more willing to Again, it
• 1:44:09
  Speaker 9: remains to be seeing what she looks like in the ring,
• 1:44:11
  Speaker 9: but I'm much more open to it a few weeks ago.
• 1:44:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Now, granted I wasn't watching during AJ's run. That
• 1:44:21
  Speaker 3: was in the time where I was tuned out on WWE.
• 1:44:23
  Speaker 3: So as far as seeing actual matches of her, I
• 1:44:28
  Speaker 3: can't recall any note that I've seen, so I can't
• 1:44:31
  Speaker 3: judge what her end ring work was or talent was then,
• 1:44:38
  Speaker 3: but I do know that that was very much a
• 1:44:42
  Speaker 3: the Divas era period was pretty much a very low
• 1:44:45
  Speaker 3: time for we've been wrestling in WWE. So I wonder
• 1:44:51
  Speaker 3: if if it's a case of she's a product of
• 1:44:55
  Speaker 3: what she had to work with or what she part
• 1:45:00
  Speaker 3: of the problem. And I think I guess we'll probably
• 1:45:05
  Speaker 3: get an answer to that based upon what she does
• 1:45:08
  Speaker 3: now with the talent that she has, If she can
• 1:45:12
  Speaker 3: measure up to them, then history will probably say that
• 1:45:16
  Speaker 3: AJ in her first run was a product of the
• 1:45:18
  Speaker 3: talent she had to work with being very lackluster and
• 1:45:21
  Speaker 3: the whole division as a whole being very.
• 1:45:23
  Speaker 4: Lackluster at that time.
• 1:45:25
  Speaker 3: If she can't keep up with today's wrestlers, then history
• 1:45:30
  Speaker 3: will probably say that, you know, she was part of
• 1:45:32
  Speaker 3: the problem and not necessarily the catalyst or the you know,
• 1:45:38
  Speaker 3: initial seed or whatever of the eventual women's revolution. Maybe
• 1:45:43
  Speaker 3: more that credit will go towards somebody like Page or
• 1:45:45
  Speaker 3: what have you. So you could definitely say that there's
• 1:45:49
  Speaker 3: some there's some legacy on the line for aj in
• 1:45:52
  Speaker 3: this second run, So she should have she should be
• 1:45:55
  Speaker 3: very motivated to.
• 1:45:59
  Speaker 4: Perform to the best of her ability this time around.
• 1:46:08
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I just I don't know if if ten years off,
• 1:46:12
  Speaker 9: it's a good thing very bad, you know, like it's
• 1:46:14
  Speaker 9: it's ten years where she wasn't getting dropped on her head,
• 1:46:17
  Speaker 9: you know, but about for ten years that she hasn't
• 1:46:20
  Speaker 9: been doing it.
• 1:46:21
  Speaker 5: And it's one of those things, you know. I think
• 1:46:24
  Speaker 5: we've said before about how you know you can you.
• 1:46:26
  Speaker 9: Can hit hit three pointers in an empty gym all
• 1:46:29
  Speaker 9: day long, but you know, it's getting there and doing
• 1:46:31
  Speaker 9: it in front of you know, twenty thousand people scream,
• 1:46:34
  Speaker 9: and there's a whole other thing.
• 1:46:36
  Speaker 6: You know.
• 1:46:37
  Speaker 5: Uh, if you're going the way, I guess we'll see.
• 1:46:42
  Speaker 5: I think I think Becky's a great person to be
• 1:46:43
  Speaker 5: in there with. Uh.
• 1:46:45
  Speaker 9: That makes that fucking terrible bella match. Notwithstanding if you're
• 1:46:50
  Speaker 9: if you're looking for somebody to make it look good,
• 1:46:52
  Speaker 9: I think Becky, it's a bad as good as as
• 1:46:54
  Speaker 9: good as it cats.
• 1:46:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Well, the ultimate thing is that that question won't
• 1:46:59
  Speaker 3: be answered in this one match. No, It'll be definitely
• 1:47:04
  Speaker 3: be told over time, because I mean even Sean Michaels,
• 1:47:07
  Speaker 3: you know, didn't look like his old self in his
• 1:47:11
  Speaker 3: first match back with Triple H at Summer Slam. He
• 1:47:15
  Speaker 3: had moments he showed that, yeah, he could still pull
• 1:47:17
  Speaker 3: off some stuff, but obviously as he wrestled more and
• 1:47:21
  Speaker 3: got the rust off, he got better and better.
• 1:47:27
  Speaker 6: You have to fucking find out. I'm excited ten years, man,
• 1:47:31
  Speaker 6: She's been going for ten long years. So all right,
• 1:47:38
  Speaker 6: let's get on to the main event, which well what
• 1:47:43
  Speaker 6: I'm assuming is the main event.
• 1:47:47
  Speaker 3: They already.
• 1:47:49
  Speaker 6: And he only does main events. Yeah, John Cena, the
• 1:47:57
  Speaker 6: goat that's never seen seventeen, the one last true champion,
• 1:48:04
  Speaker 6: and he still calls himself that even though he doesn't.
• 1:48:07
  Speaker 4: Have a Yeah.
• 1:48:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it was kind of weird that he addressed it,
• 1:48:13
  Speaker 3: like after I made the comment and discord Monday, right, like,
• 1:48:16
  Speaker 3: why the fuck are he still saying that? He let
• 1:48:18
  Speaker 3: me talk about this I'm like, Okay, granted the excuse
• 1:48:24
  Speaker 3: he gave I thought was some bullshit, but.
• 1:48:29
  Speaker 6: We're talking about a rivalry here, guys, that's been dating
• 1:48:32
  Speaker 6: back since two thousand and two. Wow, I'm assuming this
• 1:48:39
  Speaker 6: is the last time we're gonna see these two in
• 1:48:42
  Speaker 6: a ring together, do you guys think? But we only
• 1:48:45
  Speaker 6: have so many but five or so or four, we
• 1:48:49
  Speaker 6: don't have much left. We really really don't mean it's.
• 1:48:56
  Speaker 3: After this.
• 1:48:57
  Speaker 4: I think he has five dates left.
• 1:48:59
  Speaker 6: Damn dude.
• 1:49:00
  Speaker 5: It hurts.
• 1:49:01
  Speaker 6: It hurts, Like, what do we do? What are we
• 1:49:03
  Speaker 6: getting out of those five days? If we're getting brock
• 1:49:06
  Speaker 6: Lessner here.
• 1:49:07
  Speaker 4: What do we get we're getting?
• 1:49:10
  Speaker 3: Well, his next we're getting Crown Jewel Survivor Series Saturday
• 1:49:15
  Speaker 3: Night main event, and two others which I oh, MSG, yeah,
• 1:49:22
  Speaker 3: Crown Jewel uh raw at MSG Survivor Series, his final
• 1:49:29
  Speaker 3: match at Saturday Night main event, and I can't remember
• 1:49:32
  Speaker 3: what the fifth one is.
• 1:49:36
  Speaker 6: Well, it's it's just hear so quickly, man. You know,
• 1:49:41
  Speaker 6: I'll probably go through at some point, go through his
• 1:49:46
  Speaker 6: retirement tour again to really look at it on paper
• 1:49:50
  Speaker 6: and kind of you know, see if it was a
• 1:49:55
  Speaker 6: great retirement tour. And I mean as of now. Yeah,
• 1:49:58
  Speaker 6: but uh yeah, I mean I'm excited for this match.
• 1:50:04
  Speaker 6: I nobody thought brock Lesner.
• 1:50:06
  Speaker 4: Was coming back.
• 1:50:08
  Speaker 6: Nobody, Ah, so this this might even be his last
• 1:50:13
  Speaker 6: fucking match. I mean, who knows?
• 1:50:15
  Speaker 5: Right, Yeah, he's another one. The same question today, jay Lee, like,
• 1:50:18
  Speaker 5: do we know what he's doing? Is he back for
• 1:50:21
  Speaker 5: his one match?
• 1:50:22
  Speaker 3: Is he back?
• 1:50:23
  Speaker 5: Is he back back? Is he? I mean even when
• 1:50:26
  Speaker 5: he's coming, what's that?
• 1:50:30
  Speaker 3: Even if he even when he's been back, he hasn't
• 1:50:32
  Speaker 3: been back back. He's been.
• 1:50:35
  Speaker 4: Pop up have a match by maybe.
• 1:50:39
  Speaker 5: For two years? Are we gonna We're gonna see him
• 1:50:41
  Speaker 5: more recent? Sooner than two years from now.
• 1:50:44
  Speaker 3: Look, he brought his ass to Norfolks. I ain't gonna
• 1:50:46
  Speaker 3: hate on him, but so much right now?
• 1:50:50
  Speaker 5: He split his pants in Norfolk? Is that where all right?
• 1:50:55
  Speaker 5: That should be a T shirt? I split my pants
• 1:50:57
  Speaker 5: in Norfolk?
• 1:50:58
  Speaker 3: Ye split his pants after five and our truth and
• 1:51:03
  Speaker 3: move the crowd?
• 1:51:05
  Speaker 6: Excuse me?
• 1:51:05
  Speaker 5: It was?
• 1:51:06
  Speaker 9: What do you think he wore for the rest of
• 1:51:08
  Speaker 9: the night, because I know, do you think they just
• 1:51:10
  Speaker 9: had a pair of bronc Lezer sized pants just in case?
• 1:51:13
  Speaker 3: Like?
• 1:51:14
  Speaker 5: What what does he do in that situation? I don't.
• 1:51:17
  Speaker 5: I can't go. I just can't.
• 1:51:18
  Speaker 4: Probably just immediately left and went back to his hotel
• 1:51:21
  Speaker 4: and changed pants.
• 1:51:22
  Speaker 5: He probably can't just borrow someone else's pants. I imagine
• 1:51:26
  Speaker 5: he has. He doesn't wear the same size as a
• 1:51:29
  Speaker 5: lot of other people.
• 1:51:33
  Speaker 3: I doubt he's stuck around past that segment, Like he
• 1:51:37
  Speaker 3: showed up, it kicked off the show, and he was
• 1:51:39
  Speaker 3: probably back at Norfolk International Airport and gone before the
• 1:51:43
  Speaker 3: show was off the air. Although I will say, seeing
• 1:51:49
  Speaker 3: that man up close in real life, that is one
• 1:51:58
  Speaker 3: huge mother fucker m right, Yeah, and he's not even
• 1:52:07
  Speaker 3: as big as he used to be, so I can
• 1:52:08
  Speaker 3: imagine what the fuck he looked like standing next to
• 1:52:12
  Speaker 3: him in two thousand and two, because just seeing him
• 1:52:14
  Speaker 3: when he came out there, I was just like, oh god, fuck.
• 1:52:20
  Speaker 3: I can't really appreciate how big he is until you
• 1:52:23
  Speaker 3: actually see him that up close. And granted, I'm just
• 1:52:27
  Speaker 3: saying like I was a good pretty close to the ring,
• 1:52:32
  Speaker 3: like there was maybe four or five like five rows
• 1:52:36
  Speaker 3: of seats and a walkway between you know, me and
• 1:52:42
  Speaker 3: where Lesner was in the angle I was at, you know,
• 1:52:46
  Speaker 3: from I was behind the announced table. So when I'm
• 1:52:53
  Speaker 3: looking at when him and Our Truth were having their
• 1:52:55
  Speaker 3: exchange in the ring. You know, obviously hardcamp side, it's
• 1:53:00
  Speaker 3: from my angle, it's Rock Lesner, and then our Truth
• 1:53:04
  Speaker 3: is more or less behind him. From my vanished point,
• 1:53:08
  Speaker 3: I could not see Truth on the other side of Lesner.
• 1:53:14
  Speaker 3: That's how massive this motherfucker is. He just hid a
• 1:53:17
  Speaker 3: whole human being behind him.
• 1:53:21
  Speaker 5: Can we take one second? What a disappointment? Fucking poor Ron. Ron.
• 1:53:25
  Speaker 5: Killing's right, he gets.
• 1:53:27
  Speaker 9: Fired, he gets his whole big comeback, and now he's
• 1:53:31
  Speaker 9: back to me in a fucking goofball again.
• 1:53:34
  Speaker 4: Like shit, I'm done.
• 1:53:36
  Speaker 5: I guess he's hopefully making more money than he was,
• 1:53:39
  Speaker 5: but it's just.
• 1:53:39
  Speaker 3: Like, yeah, I hope he's happy, but it's for me.
• 1:53:43
  Speaker 3: I'm I'm done. I'm done taking him. Seriously. He can
• 1:53:48
  Speaker 3: show up, he can be entertaining. Yes, the segment, we laughed,
• 1:53:53
  Speaker 3: we we we got our chuckles in, but yeah, I'm
• 1:53:58
  Speaker 3: I'm done with wanting anything more for Ron.
• 1:54:03
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:54:03
  Speaker 11: I mean, if he's making good money to not really
• 1:54:07
  Speaker 11: have to do much good for him, you.
• 1:54:08
  Speaker 4: Know, if he's making.
• 1:54:11
  Speaker 3: Exactly if he's making good money and he's happy, I'm
• 1:54:14
  Speaker 3: happy for him.
• 1:54:16
  Speaker 5: He's not really risking his health too too much. Yeah,
• 1:54:26
  Speaker 5: got our hopes.
• 1:54:28
  Speaker 3: I guess at some point we should actual talk about
• 1:54:29
  Speaker 3: who the hell is gonna win this match?
• 1:54:32
  Speaker 6: I have Sena going seen obviously when he is if anything, honestly,
• 1:54:40
  Speaker 6: let me throw you guys something crazy. What if we've
• 1:54:42
  Speaker 6: seen it with Brock a couple of times, whether it
• 1:54:45
  Speaker 6: happens to him or he does it to somebody else.
• 1:54:48
  Speaker 6: What if it's a fucking quick match and John Cena
• 1:54:51
  Speaker 6: puts him wash squashed his super Sena squashes Lessener.
• 1:54:58
  Speaker 4: I'd be shocked if that happened.
• 1:55:00
  Speaker 6: I bet I thought that too, man. But we saw
• 1:55:02
  Speaker 6: that with Kobe Kingston. We saw that with gold and
• 1:55:06
  Speaker 6: we saw it from half them both ends where he
• 1:55:08
  Speaker 6: takes it and gives it like right.
• 1:55:11
  Speaker 3: But yeah, but as far as taking it, who's ever
• 1:55:14
  Speaker 3: squashed Lesnar only Goldberg? But we were swashing was part
• 1:55:20
  Speaker 3: of Goldberg's gimmick, right, but he had watching never been
• 1:55:24
  Speaker 3: a part of John seeds.
• 1:55:25
  Speaker 6: Five dates left. So what if these five dates are
• 1:55:28
  Speaker 6: just him and Brock like dis feud is.
• 1:55:33
  Speaker 3: It wouldn't be.
• 1:55:35
  Speaker 6: Having having him beat brought quickly and then Brock being
• 1:55:39
  Speaker 6: pissed off about it, and then the feud continues.
• 1:55:42
  Speaker 13: I mean, yeah, dude, it sucks, but nobody wants that.
• 1:55:45
  Speaker 6: Nobody does want that.
• 1:55:47
  Speaker 4: That's what people barely want.
• 1:55:48
  Speaker 3: This match that we're gonna get now because it's just
• 1:55:50
  Speaker 3: gonna be freaking ten minutes of German souplexes and then
• 1:55:54
  Speaker 3: a scene of comeback and maybe he fucking wins, which,
• 1:55:58
  Speaker 3: for the record, I think saying scene is gonna win
• 1:56:00
  Speaker 3: because I don't see John losing any matches in this
• 1:56:04
  Speaker 3: home stretch of his tour. John's gonna win. I just
• 1:56:12
  Speaker 3: said I was gonna go. Match is gonna start. I
• 1:56:16
  Speaker 3: start off with a little bit offense. We're gonna get
• 1:56:18
  Speaker 3: ten minutes of German suplexes from Lesnar. John seen is
• 1:56:22
  Speaker 3: gonna come back, Maybe a couple more supplexes. Oh no,
• 1:56:26
  Speaker 3: I talk about John's gonna come back. Then we're gonna
• 1:56:28
  Speaker 3: get in that F five. John's gonna kick out. Then
• 1:56:33
  Speaker 3: he might get some more supplexes in, maybe go for
• 1:56:36
  Speaker 3: another seaton at five. Scene's gonna counter, We're gonna get
• 1:56:39
  Speaker 3: an AA, and it's gonna be a bunch of that
• 1:56:41
  Speaker 3: little bullshit back and forth until John Cena actually wins.
• 1:56:45
  Speaker 3: Like I honestly don't know other than just I feel
• 1:56:50
  Speaker 3: like they only made this match because of the names
• 1:56:53
  Speaker 3: like ESPN Russell Palooza first Day. We need big names
• 1:56:57
  Speaker 3: John Cen to Brockbuster, because other than that, I don't
• 1:57:02
  Speaker 3: know why anybody would want to see this match. They
• 1:57:10
  Speaker 3: have not have they had a single good match together.
• 1:57:17
  Speaker 3: I don't think they have as much as as much
• 1:57:21
  Speaker 3: history as these two have together going all the way
• 1:57:24
  Speaker 3: back to OVW. We could have had so much better
• 1:57:30
  Speaker 3: had this rivalry really started in the ring during Lesner's
• 1:57:35
  Speaker 3: first run, but unfortunately it did it when we had
• 1:57:39
  Speaker 3: the best of Lesner in his first run, he was
• 1:57:42
  Speaker 3: feuding with the likes of Angle and Big Show and
• 1:57:47
  Speaker 3: all that and seen it was still just coming up
• 1:57:50
  Speaker 3: and finding.
• 1:57:51
  Speaker 4: We didn't have the best, that you didn't have peak Sina.
• 1:57:55
  Speaker 3: So Seena's peak came in, brought in Lesner's absence, and
• 1:57:59
  Speaker 3: by the time Lesner came back in the ring, he
• 1:58:02
  Speaker 3: was a shell of his former self. He was basically
• 1:58:05
  Speaker 3: just a German Suplex F five monster could barely and
• 1:58:09
  Speaker 3: what was either could it do or was unwilling to
• 1:58:12
  Speaker 3: do or give us the level of performance that he
• 1:58:16
  Speaker 3: did in his first run, And so all the matches
• 1:58:18
  Speaker 3: that he's had with Sena have just been repetitive bullshit,
• 1:58:23
  Speaker 3: and I don't see this match being any different, which
• 1:58:26
  Speaker 3: is why I have no interest in it whatsoever. But
• 1:58:30
  Speaker 3: John Cena is gonna win because hopefully this is a
• 1:58:33
  Speaker 3: one and done match, and then he moves on to
• 1:58:37
  Speaker 3: whoever he's gonna face next at Crown Jewel. The only
• 1:58:40
  Speaker 3: way I could see Lesnar winning this match is if,
• 1:58:43
  Speaker 3: for some god awful reason, they decide they're gonna run
• 1:58:46
  Speaker 3: this match back at Crownjewel, because I believe after this appearance,
• 1:58:55
  Speaker 3: John Cena has no more scheduled dates before a Crown Jewel,
• 1:59:01
  Speaker 3: so somehow whatever match he's gonna have then or whatever appearance,
• 1:59:04
  Speaker 3: if he's gonna have, actually have a match at Crown Jewel,
• 1:59:08
  Speaker 3: and it's not just gonna be an appearance, but assuming
• 1:59:10
  Speaker 3: it's gonna be a match, they're gonna have to figure
• 1:59:12
  Speaker 3: out some way to hype that match up without John Cena.
• 1:59:16
  Speaker 3: So the only way they can really do that would
• 1:59:18
  Speaker 3: be either a a rematch of Sena versus Lesnar, and
• 1:59:23
  Speaker 3: Lesner is the guy building up the match, I guess,
• 1:59:27
  Speaker 3: doing whatever on TV between now and then, or seeing
• 1:59:31
  Speaker 3: his match at Crown Jewel is some sort of tag
• 1:59:34
  Speaker 3: team affair where he's somebody's tag team partner, and then
• 1:59:41
  Speaker 3: the other participants in the match are the ones who
• 1:59:43
  Speaker 3: build it up while we wait for John Cena to
• 1:59:46
  Speaker 3: show up at Crown Jewel in Australia. It's only one
• 1:59:50
  Speaker 3: of those two options. I'm guessing that it's gonna be
• 1:59:53
  Speaker 3: the latter. The Crown Jewel match will be a tag
• 1:59:55
  Speaker 3: team match of some sort. And if that's gonna be
• 1:59:59
  Speaker 3: the case, Seene is gonna win this match so that
• 2:00:02
  Speaker 3: way he can thankfully be done with Lesler. M m.
• 2:00:12
  Speaker 5: Yeah, there's a timing of this just really peculiar to me, Like.
• 2:00:17
  Speaker 9: If they were gonna do this, it's feel like it
• 2:00:19
  Speaker 9: would have made more sentence at the stim of john
• 2:00:22
  Speaker 9: says last year rather than the end.
• 2:00:25
  Speaker 5: But yeah, but don't know what Lesser's doing going forward.
• 2:00:29
  Speaker 3: Is he back?
• 2:00:29
  Speaker 5: Is he not back? Because he's sort of back. But yeah,
• 2:00:32
  Speaker 5: I can't imagine.
• 2:00:36
  Speaker 9: That Johnson doesn't win this, especially given the fact that
• 2:00:39
  Speaker 9: it's you know what, third to last match or something
• 2:00:42
  Speaker 9: like that.
• 2:00:45
  Speaker 5: But like Dre said that, I don't care about Productizer anymore.
• 2:00:49
  Speaker 5: I really don't. The only interest for me is really
• 2:00:55
  Speaker 5: in that, you know, like watching a Great eight ones,
• 2:01:00
  Speaker 5: you know, final games. You know when you know they're
• 2:01:03
  Speaker 5: going to retire.
• 2:01:04
  Speaker 9: You know when when you knew that, you know, you
• 2:01:07
  Speaker 9: knew Kobe was going to retire, you knew David Ortiz
• 2:01:10
  Speaker 9: is going to retire, You knew Derek Jeter was going
• 2:01:12
  Speaker 9: to retire.
• 2:01:13
  Speaker 5: So you know, you knew that this is the third
• 2:01:16
  Speaker 5: to last game in the second to last get whatever,
• 2:01:19
  Speaker 5: you know what I mean. And that's really the only
• 2:01:21
  Speaker 5: Peels has for me. H. You just you know what
• 2:01:24
  Speaker 5: the scene to look like for it, you know the
• 2:01:26
  Speaker 5: end of scene.
• 2:01:26
  Speaker 9: And really, you know, like I said, someone if his
• 2:01:29
  Speaker 9: match was five minutes too long, you know, like some one,
• 2:01:32
  Speaker 9: I'll take everything I can get at.
• 2:01:33
  Speaker 11: This point because it's not They're not going to be
• 2:01:35
  Speaker 11: making John.
• 2:01:36
  Speaker 9: Tena matches much longer. But yeah, I mean, if they're
• 2:01:40
  Speaker 9: going to do a rematch, I maybe wins, but I
• 2:01:44
  Speaker 9: think I feel like that would be a waste of
• 2:01:46
  Speaker 9: John con the second to last match, you know, run
• 2:01:48
  Speaker 9: in a.
• 2:01:48
  Speaker 5: Backer again, So I don't know who. I don't know
• 2:01:52
  Speaker 5: who else I want to see him face though, Who
• 2:01:56
  Speaker 5: do you guys think is playing opponent? Willed up being
• 2:02:00
  Speaker 5: That's think one of the big questions going around the
• 2:02:03
  Speaker 5: i w C these days is who who's seen his
• 2:02:06
  Speaker 5: last match? Due to try to run back remember another
• 2:02:12
  Speaker 5: remember when who would that be? You try to go
• 2:02:14
  Speaker 5: with a young upstart or what do you do? I
• 2:02:19
  Speaker 5: think Seth Rollins is a pretty good, uh, pretty good.
• 2:02:25
  Speaker 4: Idea.
• 2:02:26
  Speaker 5: I think that's who I would probably go with, and
• 2:02:28
  Speaker 5: I don't.
• 2:02:29
  Speaker 3: Think that would evolve him. Yeah. I think my one
• 2:02:35
  Speaker 3: opposition to that is that if he's going against Seth Rollins,
• 2:02:39
  Speaker 3: then obviously it's going to be a title match, which
• 2:02:42
  Speaker 3: means obviously he's going to lose, Right, I want seeing
• 2:02:46
  Speaker 3: it to lose his final match, but I don't want
• 2:02:49
  Speaker 3: it to be obvious. So I would prefer for me,
• 2:02:53
  Speaker 3: I would prefer his final match just be a no stakes,
• 2:02:57
  Speaker 3: one on one match with somebody, and just let him
• 2:03:00
  Speaker 3: have a bang of a match with somebody and it
• 2:03:04
  Speaker 3: could be completely up in the air whether he's going
• 2:03:06
  Speaker 3: to win or lose, and he.
• 2:03:08
  Speaker 4: Just happens to lose and he just goes out on
• 2:03:12
  Speaker 4: his back.
• 2:03:14
  Speaker 3: That can be with a veteran like an AJ Styles,
• 2:03:17
  Speaker 3: or it can be with a up and comer like
• 2:03:19
  Speaker 3: a Carmelo Hayes. Either way, I'd be good with it,
• 2:03:24
  Speaker 3: just as long as it's a one on one, no
• 2:03:27
  Speaker 3: stakes bang over match. Some give us something like what
• 2:03:31
  Speaker 3: Edge had with Shamus and what would turn out to
• 2:03:34
  Speaker 3: be his last match in WWE.
• 2:03:37
  Speaker 5: Oh yeah, I like I like Carmelo two massholes. He'd
• 2:03:44
  Speaker 5: be a good candidate, I think, mm hmm.
• 2:03:51
  Speaker 3: Just hopefully he doesn't completely destroy and tear down you know,
• 2:03:55
  Speaker 3: Carmelo like he did with you know, Austin Theory and
• 2:03:59
  Speaker 3: Logan Paul before them. Yeah, like given actual respectful promo
• 2:04:05
  Speaker 3: to somebody.
• 2:04:06
  Speaker 9: Like it's another thing like how much Cachet does beating
• 2:04:12
  Speaker 9: John Cena have anymore?
• 2:04:14
  Speaker 5: I mean, I guess his last match is the last match.
• 2:04:16
  Speaker 9: But yeah, Terry certainly didn't get much benefit. I think
• 2:04:20
  Speaker 9: you could argue selling for comment and he had a
• 2:04:22
  Speaker 9: whole lot of benefit either.
• 2:04:24
  Speaker 3: I think it depends on how it's built up. Austin
• 2:04:27
  Speaker 3: Theory didn't get much benefit because because johnsena fucking destroyed
• 2:04:31
  Speaker 3: him before the match to the point that yeah, nothing
• 2:04:35
  Speaker 3: was gonna save Austin Theory and nobody was really liking
• 2:04:37
  Speaker 3: him that much any damn way, Solo didn't get much
• 2:04:40
  Speaker 3: benefit from it. Because they didn't do shit with them afterwards.
• 2:04:44
  Speaker 3: It wasn't the fact that and also the fact that
• 2:04:46
  Speaker 3: John Cena at that point was in the midst of
• 2:04:48
  Speaker 3: a gargantuan losing streak, so he didn't have his oora.
• 2:04:53
  Speaker 4: Was kind of weak at that point. Even though he was.
• 2:04:55
  Speaker 3: John Cena, he was John Cena kind of in name
• 2:04:57
  Speaker 3: only at that point, Whereas this John Cena we're seeing
• 2:05:01
  Speaker 3: now is like like people are saying it's the rebirth
• 2:05:04
  Speaker 3: of Super Sena. This is kind of John Cena at
• 2:05:07
  Speaker 3: his peak going out, you know, in a blaze of glory.
• 2:05:10
  Speaker 3: I think it's somebody if it's booked right and John
• 2:05:13
  Speaker 3: Cena doesn't completely tear him a new one on the
• 2:05:15
  Speaker 3: way out, and they can pull up a good match, clean,
• 2:05:19
  Speaker 3: credible W I think it can actually mean something for somebody,
• 2:05:24
  Speaker 3: especially if it's a young up and comer, and assuming
• 2:05:31
  Speaker 3: that they don't then turn around and do it in
• 2:05:34
  Speaker 3: the same stupid cliche thing like, you know, I put
• 2:05:37
  Speaker 3: John Cena out of w W. I beat John Cena.
• 2:05:41
  Speaker 3: I see John Cena a little back and like, don't
• 2:05:44
  Speaker 3: do it that way. If you do that, then yeah,
• 2:05:47
  Speaker 3: you're just gonna make it sound stupid. You're just gonna
• 2:05:48
  Speaker 3: make everybody hate you for running the dome right like
• 2:05:52
  Speaker 3: bitch was retiring? Fuck up? Yeah, if you just treated
• 2:05:56
  Speaker 3: as you know, yeah, I beat John Cena at his
• 2:05:59
  Speaker 3: best or you know, I beat him at his peak
• 2:06:02
  Speaker 3: or at the peak of his powers or something like that,
• 2:06:04
  Speaker 3: then you can parlay it into something.
• 2:06:07
  Speaker 6: Yeah I retired, It's like, no, he was goin to retire.
• 2:06:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but just treated as you know, I get you know,
• 2:06:18
  Speaker 3: I went toe to toe with the best and one.
• 2:06:23
  Speaker 3: If they do it respectfully and make it a respect thing,
• 2:06:26
  Speaker 3: I think it can really benefit a young up and
• 2:06:29
  Speaker 3: comer if they get that win.
• 2:06:33
  Speaker 6: Mm hmmm. Five days left open challenge, five days five
• 2:06:41
  Speaker 6: open challenges? Right maybe, which you'll think that's all I got?
• 2:06:49
  Speaker 3: Guys, poor Mellow and Miss beat iFIT right right now?
• 2:06:52
  Speaker 6: What's that?
• 2:06:53
  Speaker 5: What's that?
• 2:06:54
  Speaker 3: Who are Mellow and Miss kind of beefing with right now?
• 2:06:58
  Speaker 3: Other than low key? Other than low key each other?
• 2:07:02
  Speaker 3: Cause I just had the random thought of some hold,
• 2:07:06
  Speaker 3: somebody kind of gets it to it with Mellow and
• 2:07:08
  Speaker 3: Miss going into Crown Jewel and they say, Okay, we're
• 2:07:13
  Speaker 3: gonna have a tag match you and a partner of
• 2:07:16
  Speaker 3: your choosing versus Mellow. Don't miss at Crown Jewel in
• 2:07:21
  Speaker 3: person right, and that person partner is John Cena, right,
• 2:07:25
  Speaker 3: and then we get we get a little bit of
• 2:07:28
  Speaker 3: Miss Sena action on the way out for that little
• 2:07:31
  Speaker 3: touch nostalgia. Yeah, and then that could sort of be
• 2:07:37
  Speaker 3: a tease of an eventual Mellow versus Sena one on
• 2:07:42
  Speaker 3: one match. Maybe come out of that match and be like,
• 2:07:47
  Speaker 3: you need to get away from that loser. We worked
• 2:07:50
  Speaker 3: in the ring together, you got something, you got a thing,
• 2:07:53
  Speaker 3: but you need to drop that dude that you're with
• 2:07:55
  Speaker 3: him that story like in the playing out to help
• 2:07:58
  Speaker 3: get Mellow away from MS and then set up a
• 2:08:02
  Speaker 3: one v one Mellow versus Sena match.
• 2:08:06
  Speaker 5: I don't hate it.
• 2:08:09
  Speaker 3: And maybe at that point, Mellow is a bit of
• 2:08:12
  Speaker 3: a babyface, so it's a babyface one v one match
• 2:08:17
  Speaker 3: and that could be an absolute banger and then really
• 2:08:20
  Speaker 3: gives some you know, a launch to Mellow. It's from
• 2:08:25
  Speaker 3: from Sina on the way out, babyface one v one
• 2:08:28
  Speaker 3: banger match and Mellow wins clean mhm. That could be
• 2:08:33
  Speaker 3: a Yeah, that could be strapping a fucking rocket to
• 2:08:35
  Speaker 3: Mellow on the way out.
• 2:08:37
  Speaker 4: That'd be a bomb ass away for him to go out.
• 2:08:41
  Speaker 5: That could work.
• 2:08:43
  Speaker 6: They could work, man, I like the idea.
• 2:08:47
  Speaker 5: Uh well, if you can afford it, tune in and
• 2:08:50
  Speaker 5: find out.
• 2:08:51
