• 1:52
  twenty four. It will be held in Jetta, Saudi Arabia. You know

• 2:10
  we're taking. Dre Welcome back, yo, Yo? What di do PCW
• 2:46
  crew? Dude? How hot do you think it's going to be in Jedda
• 2:53
  let's see what this time of year. Nay, I don't know, because
• 2:59
  I mean, they're I'm trying to think geographically where they're at, but I
• 3:01
  think they're relatively close to the equator. Every time we hear about them going
• 3:08
  over to any of the shows in Saudi, we just always here how hot
• 3:13
  it was, how humid it was, or like a dry heat. I
• 3:15
  mean, I'm sorry, not human, but yeah, it's just brutal.
• 3:21
  But hey, since last time we were at Leon Franz, we uh,
• 3:27
  we left somebody there. But don't worry. We're gonna be going to Jenna
• 3:30
  and we're taking somebody else with us. And here is from revisiting the media
• 4:00
  calls, Hey, what's going on? Guys? Thank you for having me
• 4:05
  back. I can't wait to get into this pay per view or excuse me,
• 4:11
  premium live event that's taking place at high noon for me in Chicago,
• 4:17
  and then we'll see what happens with this King and Queen of the Ring tournament.
• 4:27
  Yeah, I appreciate the hot tag. Man. I think, you
• 4:30
  know, Doyle missing another show, it's going to be like less is more,
• 4:36
  so people are gonna miss him more when he comes back. You know,
• 4:40
  he's out with it. Well, we'll say he's either left and we
• 4:44
  left him in France or he's out with an injury. But we're thinking of
• 4:48
  you, Doyle, you know, enjoy the show as a fan. Now
• 4:53
  as a peep, you're not just super the outside. We could have pretended
• 4:58
  that I always Live Morgan and the night threw a chair at Doyle and then
• 5:02
  be's out for damn you beat me to it. I'll Morgan's revenge tour.
• 5:08
  Oh man, you know what? Uh you know, speaking of Live Morgan,
• 5:14
  let's just go right into news because I just got a bunch of crap
• 5:16
  I just want to just talk about before we get into this breakdown. Real
• 5:20
  quick, here we go. You know, Stine, I'll say, well,
• 5:34
  I got news for you. News flash app. Okay, that's our
• 5:43
  news bumper. You know. Speaking of Live Morgan, seems like she's been
• 5:46
  in uh and if you have any kind of wrestling app, any wrestling news
• 5:51
  app, it seems like she's been just everywhere, uh, every day.
• 5:56
  It's something, whether it's about her her getting was arrested when she had marijuana
• 6:02
  on her and then there was her footage of it being released of her rest
• 6:08
  and then the police officers going through a diary that was released. Thankfully,
• 6:14
  nothing bad, you know, just all good stuff, I guess. And
• 6:19
  then found out that she wants to get into acting. That'd be different.
• 6:26
  I didn't peg her as somebody who'd want to be an actress one day,
• 6:30
  but I mean, we've seen tons and tons and tons of wrestlers transition into
• 6:36
  acting, so it's not out the realm of possibility, if you know.
• 6:43
  Also read a weird article that they asked if Live has ever farted in the
• 6:53
  ring. It's hard hitting news, guys, and she said no, but
• 6:58
  Sarah Logan has been known to fart a lot in the ring, and apparently
• 7:01
  somebody thought that was news. And dude, dude, I I wanted to
• 7:09
  verify this news before I talked about it, and I just put in my
• 7:12
  search engine and it's everywhere. Can you imagine being like Sarah Logan's just like
• 7:15
  looking on your news feed and they're like, what the fuck? Live?
• 7:20
  What? What the fuck shit? Imagine being the FBI guy that's tracking your
• 7:28
  browser history who sees you looking up Sarah Logan farting. I know, dude,
• 7:31
  what the research for a podcast? Goddamn it. Also, I guess
• 7:38
  the biggest news about Live is she's now single, she's no longer dating Uncle
• 7:43
  Howdy Bo Dallas. Yeah you better Bo believe it. So uh, all
• 7:51
  those single dudes out there, you may have a chance now it's not out
• 7:58
  the realm of possibility. And then I guess what else pictures of her?
• 8:05
  Like, I guess nobody knew that she used to work at Hooters before she
• 8:09
  was a wrestler. I got released too, So her business is all out
• 8:13
  there right now. And then whatever's going on with her storylines with with Dom
• 8:18
  and the Judgment Day and her revenge tour. So it's all the talk right
• 8:24
  now. Oh what are their news to I have? Al right, guys,
• 8:31
  So back in twenty eighteen, they signed a ten year deal for us
• 8:35
  to go over to Saudi Arabia to do these shows. I think it's like
• 8:41
  a two year maybe I'm trying to think of the names what we used to
• 8:50
  have, what they were called when they would go over there, because they
• 8:54
  were like basically they used them as jewel Yeah, yeah, Crown Jewels.
• 8:58
  Well they just called super Show or something. I think, so, yes,
• 9:01
  Sadly's super Show. It sounds about right. Yeah, before it was
• 9:05
  like Crown Jewel ah, yeah, it's like where fantasy matches happen. I
• 9:11
  guess right, not our fantasy matches though, just fantasy matches of Saudi Princess.
• 9:18
  They request wrestlers who uh who are dead or retired or you know I
• 9:26
  mentioned dead, Yeah, because they the one of the ultimate words to do
• 9:31
  with the company. Yeah, oh yeah that too. It's just like,
• 9:35
  you know, just so left field, like who they would pick and they
• 9:37
  would pay like any amount. I mean, their money talks. Because we've
• 9:43
  seen Sean Michaels come out of retirement, We've seen the terrible We've seen terrible
• 9:46
  Saudi matches. You know, that tag match became to Undertaker versus d X,
• 9:52
  that Undertaker versus Goldberg. You know, it's just I feel like the
• 10:00
  women's first Saudi matter was bad. But yeah, now in six to twelve
• 10:07
  months to looking at resigning and doing another deal, and because like you said,
• 10:13
  money talks, money talks, and all that matters at the end of
• 10:16
  the day. Like for the most part, these Saudi shows would be the
• 10:20
  equivalent of like an anime filler episode. They were just shows that happened,
• 10:24
  you ship for them to make them feel like they paid, they justified the
• 10:30
  money that they spent and then we get back to the States and I back
• 10:33
  to our regular schedule programming. But this one's gonna be different, Yeah,
• 10:39
  because it's the actual King and Queen of the Ring Tournament happening, which is
• 10:46
  gonna actually have some real stakes with it this time, based upon the news
• 10:50
  that Oh Paul put out today or yesterday or whatever it was, that the
• 10:56
  winners of the tournament are going to get championship match opportunities at some point down
• 11:03
  the road. So I guess, I don't know. It seems kind of
• 11:09
  weird because you know, you never had a reason to give a shit about
• 11:11
  these shows, and now it's like, oh, this should actually matters for
• 11:15
  once, and even that title opportunity as it is, that's ah, how
• 11:20
  much shit can wwe do to give somebody a title opportunity. It's an opportunity
• 11:26
  down the road. Like we got the you know, oldie but goodie Royal
• 11:31
  Rumble, it guarantees you the WrestleMania title match. Now we got our King
• 11:35
  and Queen of the Rings tournament, which is gonna get you a title match.
• 11:39
  Then there's money in the bank that's coming up what June July. That's
• 11:43
  a guaranteed title match, then whatever the fuck they feel like throwing number one
• 11:48
  contenders in the mix. Those people get title matches, like damn, come
• 11:56
  up, can they? I mean it's I guess it's a cool thing have,
• 12:00
  but at some point you kind of wish they would come up with a
• 12:03
  different type of reward or something for it. Yeah, I mean, I
• 12:07
  yeah. There's another breaking news is that they announced that, Like I believe
• 12:11
  that is a good you know, reward for winning a King of the Ring.
• 12:18
  You're not just walking around with a fake ass crown, I mean a
• 12:24
  title shot. That's what they used to do, correct, like back in
• 12:26
  the back in the day. I don't know when they stopped doing that because
• 12:31
  I don't remember like to be able to like before the King of the Ring
• 12:35
  Tournament because I had to look it up before. H Yeah, for our
• 12:39
  episodes, it was not televised. It was like held I think it was
• 12:43
  either in Stanford or in some other like they always held the King of the
• 12:48
  Ring Tournament, but it was at a house show. Yeah, until like
• 12:52
  ninety one or ninety two, but they always had like and then that's when
• 12:56
  you would randomly get like Carlie Race as the King yeah, then like yeah,
• 13:01
  then yeah, you would get like random people being the King, and
• 13:05
  like they would have to explain it to you on Superstars or wherever, and
• 13:09
  then they would show you the highlights. But yeah, there was an actual
• 13:13
  pay per view for King of the Ring until like ninety one. Yeah,
• 13:18
  ninety one, because actually I already hear it. You're right. In nineteen
• 13:20
  eighty five, Don Morocco defeated runner up Iron Chic for the win, and
• 13:30
  then eighty six we had Harley Race, eighty seven, Randy Savage, eighty
• 13:35
  eight, Ted Dibiosity eighty nine, Tito Santana, and then in ninety one,
• 13:41
  in ninety three it was brought hard. Nothing happened in ninety two,
• 13:46
  and then you know, twenty five years ago it was own Hart. So
• 13:54
  I mean that's damn twenty five years ago. Damn you had the King of
• 13:58
  Hearts. Yeah, yeah, Brett and Owen back to back. Then.
• 14:03
  Yeah, I'll just run through them real quick. Stone called Steve Austin.
• 14:05
  This is in ninety six, ninety seven, Triple H ninety eight, Ken
• 14:09
  Shamrock ninety nine and two thousand. We have a Billy Gunn and Kurt Angle
• 14:15
  two thousand and one, in two thousand and two it was edge In brock
• 14:18
  Lessner. I remember when brock Lesner won it. Two thousand and six Booker
• 14:22
  t won it, but that's when it was specifically for a SmackDown, and
• 14:26
  we got King booka uh. And then we had William Regel in two thousand
• 14:31
  and eight. Oh wow, that's right, William Regel was King there,
• 14:37
  okay. And then twenty ten we had Seamus twenty fifteen, Bad News Barrett,
• 14:41
  twenty nineteen Baron Corbyn, and then we took a break, and then
• 14:46
  in twenty twenty one we had Xavier Woods And yeah that's twenty twenty one.
• 14:52
  Now we're twenty twenty four. Hopefully maybe we bring this back a little bit
• 14:58
  more often. It looks like there's a lot of gaps throughout the years of
• 15:03
  King of the Ring winners. You know, I I know, I kind
• 15:07
  of like ran through those, but Betray, Like, give me like your
• 15:11
  three top favorite King of the Ring winners. I want to hear all both
• 15:15
  of your guys, Like I remember Red because he was the first one that
• 15:22
  you know, well, I won't say the first one that really mattered,
• 15:24
  because I mean when Macho Man Randy, when Savage wont it. That's how
• 15:28
  we got the Macho King Randy Savage. Yeah, because he was King of
• 15:31
  the ring. So yeah, I'm gonna say my three favorites. I'll say
• 15:37
  Randy Savage, he was the first one I became aware of. And again
• 15:43
  Macho King Randy Savage versus. Then I'll say Brett Hart. Obviously with him
• 15:54
  being actually tied to a pay per view helped elevate his career a little bit,
• 16:02
  helped kind of help set him when that pass towards being you know,
• 16:06
  the guy as part of his ascension. And then Stone call Steve Boston could
• 16:11
  for obvious fucking reasons, Austin three to sixteen and we all know this the
• 16:17
  rest of the story from there. So yeah, I would say those are
• 16:18
  my three favorites. Cool, Uh, Carlos, what's yours? Man?
• 16:25
  What's your most memorable favorite? Three? Uh? The Macho King, Yeah,
• 16:32
  because that gave us the whole pairing of sensational Chrry with him and gave
• 16:37
  us a great little heel run with Macho Man. And of course Stone Cold
• 16:42
  Steve Austin because we wouldn't have had the whole promo of Austin three sixteen.
• 16:48
  And then the King Booker dude, I'm right there with you, dude,
• 16:52
  Randy Savage, Stone Cold, Steve Auston and Booker like yeah, most like
• 17:00
  recent like era you know for us, Booker T. Like honestly, it
• 17:06
  was like it turned his career around. I think he was getting stale shit
• 17:08
  in ww ah and that's I think that's when he got one more world title
• 17:15
  run. That's when he became the sixth time. Everybody listen, sixth time.
• 17:21
  A lot of people forget Booker T is a six time heavyweight champion.
• 17:26
  Uh yeah, Stone getting it. That's how I always held it. Whereas
• 17:34
  memorable moment, it should be like something that propels and gives you the ability
• 17:40
  to kind of have the ball, Like simulate you having the ball, like
• 17:44
  if we had to put it in tears, like this is you being like
• 17:48
  a blue chipper somewhere in the n cuble A. We're gonna give you the
• 17:52
  ball, and we're gonna, you know, for this collegiate level and see
• 17:56
  how you handle it and then see if we can give you. Because there's
• 18:00
  lots of guys that have been King of the ring, you know, especially
• 18:03
  like just recently with like Xavier Woods and Selina Vega. They gave them this
• 18:08
  thing and it didn't propel them, right, you know, they had like
• 18:12
  I think maybe one or two chances that met like singles gold, and they
• 18:17
  really didn't do anything, Like they didn't give them the belts or anything like
• 18:21
  that. So obviously they didn't see anything that they were doing with it.
• 18:26
  Yeah, you're absolutely right about that. They've there are plenty of people who
• 18:30
  have won the King of the Ring and it's amounted to absolutely nothing. They
• 18:36
  basically became like a hollow title like king Rings. So so at least Triple
• 18:42
  HS appears to be trying to make it something that we care about, or
• 18:48
  give us a reason to care about this King of the Ring tournament because,
• 18:52
  like you said, the memory of the last two is probably still fresh in
• 18:56
  people's heads. And the book of this tournament so far, I won't say
• 19:03
  it's been bad or haphazard, saying anxiety, yes, guy's loss, but
• 19:08
  it has seemed it has been considered by some people to be cursed giving it.
• 19:15
  How many people have been in the tournament and then been injured, like
• 19:19
  Exavier Woods was supposed to be in it to defend his crown injured Selina Vega
• 19:23
  was supposed to be in it to defend her crown injured, Bobby lastly was
• 19:27
  supposed to be in it injured, And I'm not just saying I think one
• 19:32
  or two more people were supposed to be in it at the beginning and then
• 19:36
  had to pull out because of injury. So this is the way of giving,
• 19:44
  you know, trying to say face on the tournament, but ultimately it's
• 19:47
  all TBD in terms of you know what happens afterwards. Yeah, I think
• 19:53
  it's made it a little bit predictable in terms of who's probably going to win,
• 19:57
  given that he made this and that before this, you probably could have
• 20:02
  gone either way with I mean, obviously we know who's coming who's representing on
• 20:07
  the raw side between Gunter and Lyra Valcarrarie bullshit, But yeah, we still
• 20:15
  don't know who their smack down opponents are going to be, and you maybe
• 20:18
  could have made an argument that, Okay, whoever they comes out on the
• 20:22
  SmackDown side could go either way as far as the King and Queen, now
• 20:26
  that they put the title match, opportunity connected that to the winner. At
• 20:36
  least for me, it's kind of taken a bit of the anticipation out of
• 20:40
  the finals. It's made the finals kind of predictable, Like I'm like nine
• 20:45
  certain who's going to be King and Queen of the Ring. Now, guys,
• 20:52
  this news drop this week, well, actually, this one I think
• 20:56
  dropped today. We found the Summer Slam is going two nights. We're gonna
• 21:04
  get two nights of Summer Slam. My question is to you, guys,
• 21:11
  do we see this stopping? What's next? Survivor Series? The Royal Rumble?
• 21:18
  Like the Big Ones, right, the Big Four, that's what they're
• 21:21
  gonna do two nights in a row? Is is this? Do we have
• 21:25
  enough to do two nights Summer Slam? Like? Is this a good idea?
• 21:30
  Do you guys like this? Likere is this a good idea? I'm
• 21:33
  not opposed to it. I'm honestly not opposed to it. Yeah. For
• 21:37
  the longest well, SummerSlam is one. SummerSlam is long established as being WWE's
• 21:42
  second largest pay per view. Yeah, it's been that way for the longest
• 21:47
  time. Is their second biggest one of the year. Plenty of comebacks happened,
• 21:52
  a lot of major storylines happened, or major pivots and storylines happen.
• 21:56
  It's a big deal. So if they were going to make another pay per
• 22:02
  viewer pl a two night a ventner, Summer slams the obvious choice. It's
• 22:07
  gonna basically be the WrestleMania of the summer, so I'm not mad at it
• 22:12
  at all. Obviously, money talks, so there's clear there's clear incentive for
• 22:21
  WWE to do this and try it out on their second largest pl of the
• 22:26
  year, that being Summer Slam. It's proven successful with WrestleMania. Remember when
• 22:32
  they first went to two nights, people were apprehensive about that totally forgetting about
• 22:37
  the fact that people were complaining about how long WrestleMania was in the first damn
• 22:41
  place, like, oh my god, wrestling is gonna be five hours and
• 22:44
  all this, this, that and the third. So they said split it,
• 22:48
  and it's worked out great for WWE. It works out good for the
• 22:52
  fans. You're not sitting in the stadium all night, although they are starting
• 22:56
  to become longer again. But you know, it's always room to modify that.
• 23:00
  Like this year's Wrestlanting wasn't that bad as far as length, No,
• 23:06
  not at all. There wasn't like any time, but we were there in
• 23:08
  person, but like I mean, we weren't like, I'm more on,
• 23:12
  let's wrap it up. I want to go home, Like I was just
• 23:15
  like this night never ends. Well I was ready for night one day and
• 23:19
  we were freasing our asses off. But yeah, they didn't feel excessively long.
• 23:26
  So and obviously it's been great for revenue for the w WE. Obviously
• 23:33
  it's elevated up wrestlemanting to the point that now city's bid for it. You
• 23:37
  know, they don't have they don't have to sell WrestleMania to anybody anymore.
• 23:41
  So if they think they can pull that off with another po league, obviously
• 23:45
  it would be Summer Slam. Build that one up, get it to WrestleMania
• 23:49
  level, get it to where people call it the you know, WrestleMania of
• 23:52
  the summer, and then you get cities starting to bid on that, you
• 23:56
  get more revenue coming in for that. I mean, it makes total sense
• 24:00
  from a business standpoint, from a marketing standpoint, even arguably from a storyline
• 24:07
  standpoint and stuff like that. Obviously, if it's going to be a two
• 24:11
  night event, you got to come up with enough content to fill that out.
• 24:15
  So you know, majors, that means more matches. Hopefully that'll mean
• 24:21
  more money for the wrestlers too. Rather than having to cramp stuff into a
• 24:23
  single one night event, you can spread that out over two nights. Hopefully
• 24:29
  that can gives more wrestler's opportunities to perform and be on the show make money
• 24:33
  for them. Honestly, I struggle to find any negatives about it. Honestly,
• 24:37
  I think it's a win across the board. Carlos. I mean,
• 24:44
  how do you feel now it's gonna be two nights in a row? Well,
• 24:51
  I don't have a problem with it being two nights in a row.
• 24:53
  My only issue with it is actually fine ways to actually make it to be,
• 25:03
  to find a reason why it's two nights in a row. You know,
• 25:07
  is it gonna be Are you gonna have like some type of gimmick match.
• 25:12
  Are you gonna have like right now we have the King of the Ring.
• 25:15
  Is that gonna go away and maybe one night will be the King of
• 25:19
  the Ring thing and then one night will be regular SummerSlam? Or is it
• 25:26
  gonna be the money in them bank? Is that gonna go away and just
• 25:32
  be in one night in Summer Slam? You know, you have to find
• 25:34
  a reason to make it two nights. I'm sure, they got two years
• 25:38
  to figure it out. It's not until twenty twenty six. So yeah,
• 25:41
  let's see what they can come up with. Yeah, I mean even if
• 25:45
  they did one, uh like if they were really adamant about trying to keep
• 25:52
  these robsters separate, that'd be a good one where you could do like raw
• 25:55
  has this this pl Saturday Night and this SmackDown as you know this one that's
• 26:00
  also very possible. Uh. Along with that, how about the talk of
• 26:10
  UFC wants to have Fridays and Saturdays and then they're gonna put us back on
• 26:15
  Sundays. Guys, I personally don't like it. I don't like pay per
• 26:22
  views on Sundays. I've gotten a customed. But then again, I didn't
• 26:26
  like them on Saturdays. At first I didn't. I hate the idea,
• 26:30
  but then the then like, oh I can stay up late and sleep in
• 26:33
  because I don't have to work the next day because it's Sunday. That was
• 26:37
  always nice. Uh, but I I don't want to go back on Sundays
• 26:44
  pay per reviews already long enough. Now I'm gonna have to stay up late
• 26:48
  and like, yeah, I'm going to I'm gonna watch it like I'm gonna
• 26:51
  watch it before I watch it all obviously, and you know, with social
• 26:53
  media and then just it's it's so easy to get spoiled by shit, so
• 26:59
  easy. So I'm the type of persons I gonna watch it within like twenty
• 27:06
  four hours of being dropped, I mean, real quick. Dre going back
• 27:11
  to Sundays, yeah, nay, fuck no, it's a terrible idea.
• 27:18
  UFC need to calm their ass down and shut the fuck up. It makes
• 27:23
  zero sense whatsoever to try to force wwepl's back into Sundays just so you can
• 27:32
  have Saturdays and shit, like there's four to five Saturdays in a month,
• 27:37
  fucking pick one. You don't have to be on the same weekend as WWE.
• 27:42
  I know you ain't been doing it. Now, What the hell is
• 27:45
  the point of it of trying to do it now? Yep, you think
• 27:48
  you're gonna try to make some big event out of this, like UFC WWE
• 27:52
  weekend. Saturday you get this UFC and Sunday you get WWE. No,
• 27:57
  it's not gonna work, is there. Honestly, I don't know that the
• 28:02
  fan bases overlap as much as UFC thinks they do. Again, I'm not
• 28:07
  saying that they don't because I know there's a substantial overlap, but I don't
• 28:11
  know if there's that much overlap that you're gonna get people to like really invest
• 28:18
  in something like or buy in like that. The WWE model is on a
• 28:22
  is pls on a streaming platform. You know, when you come on,
• 28:27
  you log on the peacock, you press play and it goes. UFC is
• 28:32
  still pay per view format, so when it comes on, people actually have
• 28:37
  to buy in and want to do it. So is UFC trying to trying
• 28:42
  to, you know, get the rub from ww to try to get some
• 28:45
  people to tune into their stuff and try to up there by rates because I
• 28:51
  don't. That's the only person I see, the only NT that I see
• 28:55
  gaining any benefit from this. WWE I think loses out completely because they're back
• 29:00
  in the same issue where they were before, of trying to one being on
• 29:04
  Sundays, which people were used to because that's all we pretty much had pretty
• 29:08
  much all we knew before, you know, back then, pay per views
• 29:14
  Sunday, that's all we news. We just rolled away and accepted it.
• 29:17
  But once we got to taste of this good life for these Saturday night papers,
• 29:21
  Git PLS. Anybody trying to go back to that ship exactly. Ain't
• 29:25
  nobody trying to go back to that Ain't nobody trying to be sitting around during
• 29:27
  football season having to make decisions of damn, do I watch the Sunday night
• 29:33
  game or do I watch the pay per view or the p l E.
• 29:36
  We ain't had to worry about that no more. We had Saturday Boom watch
• 29:41
  your pl Sunday football was in a great place. Fuck it all up.
• 29:48
  We don't need that, Like like even though we would go to events on
• 29:52
  the weekends like here, it's like cool, we can go and don't worry
• 29:56
  about us, you know, coming back late and ship because we don't have
• 29:59
  to work on some Now It's like, dude, I don't even know if
• 30:02
  I can go to paper view on Sunday because I have to take off work
• 30:03
  for Monday because I won't be able to get up at three in the morning
• 30:07
  to go to work. It's a terrible idea, And honestly, I think
• 30:15
  WWE knows it's a terrible idea. I think TKO knows it's a terrible idea.
• 30:21
  I think you have somebody in UFC maybe trying to make it happen.
• 30:23
  But I don't think it's gonna happen. I think it's gonna get shut down.
• 30:26
  I think they're gonna be like, Nope, this is working. We
• 30:30
  got all these damn weeks. Y'all can just be on separate weeks. It's
• 30:33
  totally fine, it's working. Any benefits to trying to force WWE into Sundays
• 30:41
  just so UFC can have the Saturday they want. Fuck y'all, Carlos,
• 30:45
  do you take a big Vince Man shit on this topic as well? Well,
• 30:52
  not only me, but I'm sure all the international fans that they have
• 30:56
  will also take a big shit on this, like Aliens and the Japanese people,
• 31:03
  anyone that lives in the future, you know, just like the Saudi's
• 31:07
  and you know some of the UK and people like that who are like,
• 31:11
  well, when you're you know, when your pay per view is on seven,
• 31:15
  it's like, you know, something that I can wake up and eat
• 31:18
  breakfast to or you know, and if it's on Saturday, it's even better
• 31:22
  because they don't have to be up super early in the morning if they do
• 31:26
  have to work on Monday. Yeah, I think like numbers, Yeah,
• 31:33
  I think maybe the numbers will show if if that starts happening, like they're
• 31:38
  dwindling numbers of like, not everybody's gonna be able to tune in on a
• 31:42
  late Sunday night or at least stay logged in for the whole you know thing.
• 31:48
  And that's what I don't see it happening. And before it even gets
• 31:55
  to the point where they even try to say, hey, let's try it
• 31:57
  out, no, I think some smarter, common sense people in the room
• 32:01
  are going to be like, here's a whole list of fucking negatives, So
• 32:06
  why this is a bad idea? Yes, yes, now, you mister
• 32:08
  UFC guy who wants to do the shit, give me a positive and then
• 32:15
  after a couple minutes second like, yeah, I thought so. Next topic.
• 32:21
  So we all know that WWE has signed a contract. We talked about
• 32:24
  it before with Netflix. Monday Night, Row is going to Netflix twenty twenty
• 32:29
  five. Netflix asked, they requested that WWE give them more documentaries for Netflix,
• 32:40
  and by the way, I'm all for that shit, because WWE does
• 32:45
  documentaries very well, very very well. I will give them that. I
• 32:52
  like their documentaries. Netflix does really good documentaries, and the fact that we
• 33:00
  can maybe dig into maybe a lot of retired wrestlers dig into their careers and
• 33:07
  their lives more or even current wrestlers or like some you know, I know
• 33:15
  we have Dark Side of the Ring. I know A and E does something
• 33:17
  called Rivals. I know there's another show about WW Treasures. So there's other
• 33:28
  shows out there. But I just feel like Netflix is gonna put their little
• 33:30
  spin on this and it's gonna I think it's gonna be good. And I
• 33:35
  think it's gonna be great because it's gonna open up more people into maybe clicking
• 33:39
  on that Monday Night Raw, you know, live event that's going on on
• 33:45
  their Netflix. I think this might open up even more eyes to the product.
• 33:52
  So, I mean, I don't know, I don't know. I
• 33:55
  don't know what to really ask you guys about that, but I'm excited for
• 33:59
  it. Go ahead, Carlos, you got any thoughts. No, It's
• 34:07
  just one of those things. It's like they eventually will have to know that
• 34:13
  this isn't gonna work. So yeah, I think, uh, I think
• 34:19
  the potential is there for it to be something good that can work out.
• 34:23
  It all just depends on the execution. It all depends on how they deal
• 34:28
  with these documentaries. If they're all just fluff pieces then nobody's gonna give a
• 34:31
  shit. But I heard some where somebody compared it to I guess how.
• 34:39
  I don't know if it was Netflix or somebody had done with Formula one Racing,
• 34:45
  and I don't remember all the details about it, but how they did
• 34:50
  with Formula one Racing where they had some sort of I guess documentary series.
• 34:54
  I don't know if it was, like again, I'm not big on Formula
• 34:58
  one, so I don't know if it was following Drive throughout the season or
• 35:00
  something of that of that nature or what have you. But apparently that one
• 35:06
  worked out pretty well. It was well received and did good, So if
• 35:13
  ww does something similar to that, then perhaps it could prove successful. Or
• 35:20
  you know, maybe they do something like like how HBO has with the NFL
• 35:27
  with the Hard Knocks training camp type thing. Maybe they have some sort of
• 35:30
  that with NXT guys, with the NXT stars, whether they do some sort
• 35:35
  of training camp thing, or the ones who are maybe not fully NXT or
• 35:39
  Performance Center, maybe do some sort of hard knocks thing with them following them
• 35:44
  as their training and stuff, which I think WWE is kind of already sort
• 35:47
  of doing right now. Something similar to that, but something like that that
• 35:52
  takes you behind the curtain. It just kind of follows people I think could
• 35:57
  work along with more something more traditional documentary style about you know, profiles or
• 36:05
  events or this, that and the third. But only if they're honest.
• 36:09
  Again, like I said before, if they're just fluff pieces or just something
• 36:14
  to make everybody look good and sugarcoated and not you know, covering up all
• 36:19
  the bad things, like you know, nothing to see here, then don't
• 36:22
  waste my time with that. But give me some honesty in some documentaries or
• 36:28
  took me behind the scenes and seeing you know, people training and working and
• 36:34
  the part we see when we don't see when the cameras cut off that I'm
• 36:38
  here for. You know, I will say. The only thing that I
• 36:43
  am looking forward to with this Netflix thing. I was watching aw and you
• 36:52
  know, if you're watching it like on TNT, then you get like the
• 36:54
  picture in picture like they've been doing WWE does at times with the USA.
• 37:00
  But if you have to fight, if you have like the prescription the subscription
• 37:05
  that they have through Fight TV or Bleacher Report wherever, you don't get those
• 37:08
  commercial breaks. So Netflix has the you know, they have the no ads
• 37:15
  and then they do ads. Yeah, so I'm wondering we gonna get any
• 37:22
  type of commercial breaks now when Rod goes to Netflix or or like, if
• 37:28
  you don't pay for the ads, is it gonna be no match interruptions?
• 37:31
  You're getting everything full screen. You don't have to worry about watching the Snickers
• 37:37
  commercial and then watching EO Sky and Lyra Valkyria in the bottom corner of your
• 37:43
  screen and trying to make out what's happening or is it only gonna happen to
• 37:47
  that people who pay for Netflix with ads? Yeah, I am. I
• 37:52
  just recently, me and Andrews recently got Netflix again with the ads because we
• 37:58
  just have like so much streaming stuff. Uh so we got it with the
• 38:01
  ads, and you know what, like there really isn't that many ads for
• 38:06
  all the streaming networks that this one probably has the least amount. So it's
• 38:10
  promising because I was like, Okay, it's inevitable. I'm gonna have to
• 38:15
  get Netflix whether I like it or not. There's no piggybacking off people anymore.
• 38:20
  It's like, Okay, we have to cave in because of Monday night
• 38:23
  ' all. I'm going to plain simple, just like Unfortunately I have Peacock
• 38:29
  now then forever, or at least until their contract runs out with Peacock or
• 38:34
  not contract they sell it right Like, I guess that's not gonna happen.
• 38:38
  So but uh, Peacock will always have my money. But uh yeah,
• 38:47
  manituaited for that bundle pricing. Yeah, all the bundle pricing. Yeah.
• 38:55
  Uh. Speaking of of you know, pop culture stuff, did you guys
• 39:00
  see the picture that we draft of The Rock as Mark Kerr? Is that
• 39:07
  Kerr? Is that my saying right? K e R? He's playing a
• 39:12
  former UFC fighter. Yet the picture and it, dude, it doesn't look
• 39:21
  like him at all. It don't look nothing. Yeah, it does not
• 39:23
  look like him at all. I was he looks like somebody, but I
• 39:27
  couldn't figure out, for the life of me who he looks like. But
• 39:30
  it doesn't look ship like The Rock right at all. I was just like,
• 39:36
  he looks like somebody, like almost for a second I thought he kind
• 39:38
  of looked like Steven Seagull back in the day. But you're right, it
• 39:45
  absolutely looks nothing like The Rock. Like he has hair. I'm almost thinking
• 39:51
  inclined to think he has some sort of he has to have some sort of
• 39:52
  prosthetics on his face. Yeah, yeah, for sure, unless that was
• 39:57
  just a particular angle or particular shot that they had, which it just for
• 40:02
  publicity's sake, which is very much a thing, you know, with marketing
• 40:07
  and all that stuff. They're like, oh, take this picture right here.
• 40:10
  It looks right, it looks great. That'll get people talking it it's
• 40:14
  rock, not looking like the rock. But then the trailer might come out
• 40:16
  and be like, oh no, it's just a rock with a way on,
• 40:20
  but it's all still TBD. But nevertheless, the picture accomplished this goal
• 40:23
  of getting people talking and at least having people interested in whatever this project is
• 40:30
  that the rock has coming up. Now we wait for a trailer. Oh
• 40:36
  yeah, that picture. Oh yeah, I saw that picture. I had
• 40:43
  a like zoom in and like, I'm like, is this him? It
• 40:50
  kind of reminded me It wasn't the Rester, but it kind of looked like
• 40:57
  Dan Severn. Yeah for a little bit, that old UFC guy from when
• 41:02
  they used to not have rounds and any type of tapouts and things like that.
• 41:07
  They just waited for you to pass out or or something. But that's
• 41:12
  what it kind of reminds me, you know, that you old UFC fighter.
• 41:20
  I got one more piece of news. Courdy Rhodes was discussing the other
• 41:27
  day on Busted Open Radio that he's teasing getting a manager for his ongoing title
• 41:35
  run. Here's what he said. One of the reasons I liked having arn
• 41:38
  Anderson around with me and aw was the same reason I would have loved to
• 41:44
  have my dad around me, because I'll tell you I'm lucky, and I'll
• 41:47
  tell you how hard I work. I'll tell you how grateful I am and
• 41:52
  how true and that it's true. But it's very nice to have a guy
• 41:57
  over my shoulder to say what you just said and say we're not apologizing for
• 42:01
  greatness or Miria. Oh my god. He's on and on and on.
• 42:07
  Basically, he wants a classic, a classic wrestling manager first title run,
• 42:14
  and I honestly, I can't think of anybody else the top of my head
• 42:20
  that would really fit. I don't know if you guys could could think of
• 42:25
  anybody right now that that's free, that's not an ad W that's not signed
• 42:30
  with another company that's available, that would be a good manager for him.
• 42:34
  It would be a classic, that's but I just don't know who. No
• 42:38
  I can't think of anybody, and honestly, I don't think he needs one.
• 42:43
  I think that was just kind of him just waxing poetic about something in
• 42:46
  the past that he liked, like it was cool when I had arn but
• 42:50
  it may be nice to do that again. But there's no really no reason
• 42:52
  why, especially at the face of the company. The only way I could
• 42:58
  even think of Cody having a manager would be if for some reason he turned
• 43:04
  heel and became cocky and you know, almost Roman reigns like whereas like I
• 43:12
  don't need to talk to you people, I'll let my mouthpiece do it.
• 43:15
  Yeah. Yeah, He's like, there's no more what do you want to
• 43:21
  talk about? Because I don't care what you want to talk about, right,
• 43:27
  oh man, yeah uh yeah. But I just I have no idea
• 43:30
  who Carlos. Can you say if anybody on the top of your head,
• 43:35
  like it would be a good manager. Not in the WWE, there's not
• 43:43
  like a lot of manager mouthpieces that are out there for either a babyface.
• 43:52
  The only one that's there is you know, Paul Haman and the next is
• 43:59
  not building it, Like they build the talent, but they don't build any
• 44:04
  type of managers. Or anything like that. I know you mentioned not anywhere
• 44:09
  else. But if he was to do it, and it would be a
• 44:14
  heel, Don Kallas would do a tremendous job in helping him get over.
• 44:17
  He's doing a real great job. And when he was doing it with Kenny
• 44:22
  Omega, with his family, he's just he's great at being an asshole.
• 44:29
  I love it. Nice. Yeah, that's a good one right there.
• 44:35
  He absolutely would. But I don't know, I don't know if he would
• 44:39
  fit in the in the WW, but he probably could. Yeah, he's
• 44:45
  probably He's probably about the only way I could think of that could be any
• 44:50
  kind of kind of manager that's not named Paul Hayman. Yeah, have you
• 44:57
  something's on the microphone. So, oh that's all I got for news.
• 45:04
  Uh, we can take a quick break here and then we can jump into
• 45:07
  the card. Let's dip out of here. It draws near the throne is
• 45:21
  calling. The King and Queen will be crowned. Where legends have been made
• 45:31
  in careers have been built, a grueling tournament where the championship tomorrow are forged
• 45:37
  in combat. Think about the all time breaks over the years that have held
• 45:40
  this crown, where victory sits you on a path to great des Solana is
• 45:45
  to play the only woman fit to be queen, and we're future Hall of
• 45:51
  Famers take their first step towards immortality. Alsted three sixteen says, I just
• 45:57
  whipped your ass. It's ring is now by how I'm Loyalty, Next True
• 46:02
  Mixed True. Next month, the tournaments began again as the top superstars from
• 46:12
  Raw and SmackDown look to advance to the finals of the King and Queen of
• 46:15
  the Rage for and by the Vat in Jedda, Saudi Arabia, who will
• 46:19
  seize their destiny and become the next King and Queen of the Ring. All
• 46:30
  Right, we're back, Okay, guys, let's break down this card.
• 46:34
  It's it's surprisingly not very large. Actually, they're still semi finals going on
• 46:43
  uh SmackDown, which is going to be tomorrow because we're recording on Thursday.
• 46:47
  And it's funny because it's actually going to be in Jeddah SmackDown and then then
• 46:54
  the pl next day, so it's back to back, which is kind of
• 46:58
  cool. In the past, what they've done is they've they kind of I
• 47:02
  think I've seen a film like two Separate, like they'll do. They'll have
• 47:06
  like the people who didn't go, we'll do like a show on SmackDown,
• 47:09
  and then you know, they'll have the people the other people who went,
• 47:13
  you know, do the pl the next day. So they they had enough
• 47:15
  talent that they were able to stretch that. But this year they're gonna just
• 47:21
  do back to back, which is good. I guess that's more money over
• 47:23
  there, right, more stuff that they can more mercy price sell over there,
• 47:28
  and just more time overall over there. I don't know how long,
• 47:36
  how many days they've been there, or how many days they will have been
• 47:38
  there. So yeah, let's go over this card. Let's go over the
• 47:47
  ones that we know of, and then we'll discuss the ones we don't know
• 47:51
  of. They're up in the air. Okay, first one I see here
• 47:55
  is Becky Lynch, who is the women's World champion versus Live Morgan. Okay,
• 48:06
  Live has been on tear like we talked about it, but like literally
• 48:13
  like beating the ship out of Rhea with a steel chair and taking her out
• 48:16
  of action. Like uh as her story, but you know, she's been
• 48:23
  the center of attention in the news media. Uh. The fans just seemed
• 48:30
  to be Uh. I don't know she seems like she's becoming like a super
• 48:36
  babyface like soon, Like she's just the fans are just loving her. I
• 48:40
  think her like maybe potential relationship with Dom is raising some of that credit credibility
• 48:50
  as a babyface dude, because like, I I don't know, I think
• 48:54
  she's going over as a baby face. I don't. I don't buy her
• 48:57
  as a heel even though what she did, I still don't buy her as
• 49:00
  a heel. I mean, I'm kind of with you there, I don't.
• 49:05
  I don't think she's full sunk. She's fully bought in as a heel,
• 49:08
  at least by the fans, aren't having brought her in exactly. I
• 49:12
  don't see baby facing anything that she's doing, Like all of her actions are
• 49:15
  very much healss right now. Promo this past Monday on Raw was actually probably
• 49:22
  one of the better promos that she's done, and pairing up broke with Donald
• 49:24
  Dom damn showing in a way to get somebody to be a baby face.
• 49:28
  I guess I'm not thinking of it as her what she's supposed to be.
• 49:31
  I guess I'm thinking of is what the fans are seeing her as, like
• 49:36
  we're I guess we're just maybe it's just fresh. Yeah, I get where
• 49:40
  you're going with it. Yeah, yeah, I think the fans are.
• 49:44
  I think the fans are honestly not that invested in her in either way.
• 49:49
  Like, I don't think the fans have really bought into her as a heel
• 49:52
  yet and their damn sure, but they damn sill don't want to cheer for
• 49:57
  her yet either, given that one, she's facing Becky Lynch, who's always
• 50:01
  over his hell, so she's clearly the heal in the situation. This whole
• 50:07
  Live Morgan revenge tour thing that she keeps talking about. It's a name,
• 50:12
  but it doesn't really have much any real teeth to it other than so far
• 50:16
  she took out Rhea Ripley's. But so is this the next step in her
• 50:22
  revenge tour because she seems to always make her revenge to her about Rhea and
• 50:29
  seemingly the judgment day doesn't She hasn't. She hasn't connected it to Becky Lynch
• 50:34
  yet, And I think that's kind of been the problem when this whole revenge
• 50:37
  stour, it's been singularly focused on one person. Now that person's out the
• 50:42
  picture, but you're still trying to keep this thing going, but you're involved
• 50:46
  with somebody else that's not related to it, and you haven't made a connections.
• 50:51
  And I think that's contributing to some of the fans disconnect with her and
• 50:54
  her character right now because she's not really good. She's a heel, clearly
• 50:59
  in my opinion, but she's not really getting over as a heel. And
• 51:04
  maybe it'll happen with Tom maybe, you know, just this thing needs to
• 51:07
  cook a little bit more, but right now it's very very man Yeah,
• 51:15
  I don't. I don't without that connection to Becky, like I know what
• 51:19
  you're talking about, because it makes me feel like, unless there's some sort
• 51:22
  of interference with Judgment day, I don't see Live leaving here with the title
• 51:29
  as popular and over as she is right now, it's still not gonna happen.
• 51:31
  Like you said, there's no connection. If this was real, I
• 51:37
  would be like, ooh, she might be a threat to her, But
• 51:40
  I don't know. I feel like we're sometimes things that happen in the Saudi
• 51:47
  shows. I feel like when we go back to the States, what happened
• 51:52
  in Saudi stays in Saudi, Like, so you know, I don't think
• 51:57
  Live winning in saul is in the cards. I am. I think Becky's
• 52:02
  gonna have her number. Carlos, do you do you think the same thing,
• 52:07
  Like, do you think Becky has Live's number or do you think this
• 52:09
  is where lives momentum keeps going and she snags the title from Becky until Ria
• 52:15
  comes back. Well, I think it just all depends. I think the
• 52:22
  last bit of news that we got on Becky's contract is that she hasn't renewed
• 52:25
  it yet as of what was that three weeks ago when we talked about it.
• 52:31
  It's supposed to be coming up, if not at WrestleMania or after WrestleMania.
• 52:37
  I didn't think about that. Yeah, that's the only thing that I'm
• 52:42
  gonna bring that up. That's a very valid point. So I'm not sure
• 52:46
  on that timeline. And then I remember that I had I'm not sure if
• 52:51
  I brought it up here or not, but I had mentioned that Sonya Deville
• 52:54
  could be someone that pops up and helps live as a muscle. And we
• 53:00
  just got the appearance of Sonia Deville on Monday after nine months. Luke,
• 53:05
  she disappears off of screen like side screen, like that's your comeback? Okay,
• 53:12
  Yeah, I mean, it wasn't hurting much. Maybe like the new
• 53:20
  fucking music is sad. You need to get her back in the eyes of
• 53:22
  people. And if she happens to find a way to help Live win and
• 53:28
  be Becky, this would help them both probably get more over as heels and
• 53:36
  anything like that. I could definitely see that going one way. But right
• 53:42
  now, it's just it's this is the most difficult one for me right now
• 53:46
  to actually pinpoint is because it could go either way. Then there's so many
• 53:52
  factors. But storyline wise, it looks like you would have back you win,
• 54:02
  but it's not going to be like you know, it's gonna be something
• 54:08
  where some type of like interference backfires that maybe Live tries to hit her with
• 54:14
  a chair or with the belt and Becky gets it, so they still have
• 54:19
  to redo this match at h at SummerSlam, you know, or something like
• 54:24
  that. Yeah, I'm with you as far as how difficult this match is
• 54:31
  to predict. But for me, the only reason why it's so difficult to
• 54:37
  choose a winner is because of Becky Lynch's contract situation being unknown. If I
• 54:43
  think if she were still well under contract with you know, if her contract
• 54:47
  was nowhere near about to expire. I think no question Becky Lynch wins this
• 54:52
  match like Live Morgan, it's just me is not there yet to be dethroning
• 54:58
  Becky Lynch. The only reason why it seems like Live Morgan stands a chance
• 55:02
  and it's match to me is because Becky Lynch's contract situation may be unknown and
• 55:08
  if she hasn't re signed or is choosing not to resign because she wants to
• 55:14
  take some time off again to maybe what Drew McIntyre was where he was at
• 55:21
  before he resigned, because it did come out that Drew never had any intention
• 55:27
  of signing anywhere else. He was just trying to decide whether he wanted to
• 55:32
  resign and you know, stay keep going with WW or if he wanted to
• 55:37
  take a break and take some time off for his family and stuff. Becky
• 55:42
  Lynch could be in that same situation. Maybe she wants to take some time
• 55:45
  off and you know, either decompressed, pursue other things, raise her daughter,
• 55:50
  or what have you. So if she's choosing to take some time off,
• 55:53
  then yeah, Live Morgan would win and become the champion. But outside
• 56:00
  that, I don't see any only any situation where liv Morgan wins this match,
• 56:06
  even with the possibility of outside interferance or anything like that, because I
• 56:08
  don't see anybody coming to her aid. She's kind of made enemies of essentially
• 56:14
  everybody and the Sonya Deville factor. I don't know if that's necessarily on the
• 56:19
  table right now. Because she they baseball will happen Monday. They seem to
• 56:22
  be setting up some sort of thing between her and Zoe Starkin's SHANEA. Basler.
• 56:30
  So, yeah, the contract is the only thing that's unknown that makes
• 56:34
  this hard for me to try to predict. So if I got to put
• 56:39
  something on it, I'm probably still going to lean Becky Lynch winning this match.
• 56:46
  I think I think she may win this match. And then maybe after
• 56:52
  she wins this match, some story will come out that Becky Lynch is re
• 56:58
  signed and maybe or maybe she already has re signed within the last week or
• 57:04
  two and they're just really keeping it quiet. If I if I gotta make
• 57:09
  a pick, that's what that's where I'm gonna go with. I'm gonna pick
• 57:12
  Becky Lynch to retain. Yeah, completely agree, all right, guys,
• 57:21
  Becky Lynch for the win. Uh this one. We have a triple threat
• 57:24
  for the WWE Intercontinental Championship. Excuse me, Uh, Sammy's in is going
• 57:34
  in as the champion against Chad Gable with otis versus Bronson Reid. So I
• 57:40
  love triple triple threat matches. I I loved the story with Chad Gable so
• 57:50
  far. Uh, It's just I I don't think this is where he gets
• 57:57
  to intercomental title though. I don't think is gonna be here. You know,
• 58:02
  I also thought that this might be the most likely titled change of the
• 58:07
  night, but I don't. I don't think it's gonna happen. I think
• 58:13
  it's I still think he's going to dump all of Alpha Academy before he gets
• 58:20
  the Inner Caninal title. Ah, but I see big things for him.
• 58:25
  I just think Samy's is gonna hold onto it a little bit longer. I
• 58:30
  think Sam's gonna slip out, whether it's Chad taking the pen or Bronson Reid.
• 58:37
  But yeah, I'm gonna have to go with Sammy rattaining dre. Y'all
• 58:45
  already know what my position is in this INKRT regarding Chad Gable and Sammy's ay.
• 58:52
  It's Chad Gable and Sammy's ay. I am Team chad Gable all day,
• 58:58
  every day, twice on Sunday. I'm still salty, and I feel
• 59:02
  like Sammy's Ain took the opportunity that was supposed to be Chad Gables. So
• 59:08
  on forever Team chad Gable when it comes to him and Sammy's Ain. That
• 59:14
  being said, sammy'se Ain's gonna fuck around and retain this goddamn title. Unfortunately,
• 59:19
  for all the reasons that you just laid out, it's not quite time
• 59:22
  for him yet. He's still got to be disappointed. He needs to be
• 59:27
  more pissed off with Alpha Academy. His storyline isn't becoming Champion yet. His
• 59:34
  storyline exists still with Alpha Academy being more abusive with them, which to me
• 59:39
  is super cringe. I get where they're going with it, but every time
• 59:44
  I see it just makes me uncomfortable. But that's the storyline that it is
• 59:50
  with him. Eventually, like you said, they're going to turn on Chad
• 59:53
  Gable and you know, especially Otis, and they're gonna turn on, They're
• 59:58
  gonna fight back, maybe have a little mini feud with Otis for like a
• 1:00:02
  week or two before he reveals their replacements in the Creed brothers. And then
• 1:00:13
  that's when, like you said, that's when Chad Gable will take that next
• 1:00:16
  step hopefully and dethrown Sammysein and become the IC champion that he should have become
• 1:00:23
  became a WrestleMania Bronson Reed is just there for a big guy in the match.
• 1:00:30
  Unfortunately, this match has very little to do with Bronson Reed. He
• 1:00:34
  is very much background white noise in this match. Yeah. Plus, you're
• 1:00:43
  in the Saudi crowd, and so you know, Sammy's Ain is kind of
• 1:00:47
  sort of almost not really a hometown hero to them, but kind of sorta
• 1:00:52
  is given that sammise Ain't is in fact Muslim, so he has that going
• 1:01:00
  with for him as well. So with the hometown crowd, this will be
• 1:01:02
  the big feel good moment for them as well. Much of my chagrin,
• 1:01:12
  Carlos, Yeah, I believe that samuse Ain will go ahead and retain because
• 1:01:20
  he was my call regardless of what Drey was telling you throughout this wrestlem and
• 1:01:25
  you build sammys Ain deserved to win the Intercontinental Championship, not Chad Gable,
• 1:01:36
  and his story is going down the dark side of a heel still needs to
• 1:01:42
  continue, and the big payoff will be him finally winning the championship belt,
• 1:01:47
  but it'll probably happen more in SummerSlam than this. Chad will not take the
• 1:01:55
  pin here. It's gonna be a pin, but it'll probably be Bronting again.
• 1:02:00
  They could still keep cooking with dis feud of Sammy's ain and Jed Gable.
• 1:02:06
  Yeah yeah, sammise A ain't deserves shit, but to tap out of
• 1:02:10
  resume, he deserved nothing, but the towel landed on his face as Chad
• 1:02:15
  Gable threw it there for it's all he damn deserved, some bitch. Uh.
• 1:02:24
  All right, let's talk about the last title match on the card here,
• 1:02:29
  the singles match, Cody Rhodes versus Logan Paul for the undisputed w W
• 1:02:37
  Championship and not for Logan Paul's the United States Championship. As soon excuse me,
• 1:02:45
  as soon as I heard that, spoilers already knew who I felt,
• 1:02:51
  like what the outcome is going to be. It's going to be Cody.
• 1:02:54
  It's going to be Cody. Yeah, and no way fans are brought like
• 1:03:00
  the the I didn't. I thought he Logan Paul would have been somewhat of
• 1:03:05
  a threat, but then when you you tell me that it's not title for
• 1:03:08
  title, because the whole time I was like, okay, well, how
• 1:03:10
  are they going to do this? It's gonna be like a double count out,
• 1:03:15
  you know, like double DQ Like, how are they going to do
• 1:03:17
  this? Who's walking out with two titles? Nobody? They found away a
• 1:03:23
  loophole to do champion versus champion, and somehow Logan Paul walks away, gets
• 1:03:31
  the opportunity to walk away with everything. You know, Uh, silly,
• 1:03:39
  fuck it, silly man. There's really nothing to say about this match.
• 1:03:45
  I really, there's there's pointless all this is. This is the Saudi money
• 1:03:50
  match. Yep, that's exactly what this is. This one is everything.
• 1:03:54
  There's that match that we know only happened because the Saudis wanted it to happen.
• 1:03:59
  This wwe throwing them a bone like we're paying this money. We want
• 1:04:02
  to see such and such. Okay, fine, and that's what this is.
• 1:04:08
  Saudi's probably said we want to see Logan Paul because he had such a
• 1:04:10
  good match with Roman last year. Ye, so we want to see Logan
• 1:04:14
  Paul have another championship match, and Cody's the champion, so fine, will
• 1:04:17
  shoehorn this bullshit together. Let y'all have this match with the most predictable of
• 1:04:24
  outcomes, and they weaseled their way out of it so that there's essentially no
• 1:04:28
  stakes, even though they say it's red. Oh yeah, what the fuck
• 1:04:30
  ever, it's this is the it's a nothing burger. This is meaningless,
• 1:04:36
  is pointless. I'm sure the match will be good because both of them can
• 1:04:40
  go in the ring, but ultimately it's pointless and serves really no purpose.
• 1:04:45
  The only good thing that's come out of this whole situation to me is the
• 1:04:48
  promo that Cody cut on Logan Paul when they first announced this match, When
• 1:04:57
  Logan was trying to talk like he was the guy, like he was the
• 1:04:59
  main event, like he was the main guy, like he was the top
• 1:05:01
  guy in ww we held the title, the longest reigning champion at that time,
• 1:05:05
  which he currently is still by technicality, right, and all that shit,
• 1:05:11
  and then Cody just you know, talked to his shit and then finished
• 1:05:14
  it off by saying, you know, after this match, you will or
• 1:05:17
  Cody was saying, you know, this is a team and after the after
• 1:05:23
  our match in Saudi Arabia, you will know your place on this team.
• 1:05:27
  Like that was the strong ass promo from Cody. For me, that was
• 1:05:30
  the first time that since he's won the belt that he looked like the guy
• 1:05:35
  to me, that he looked like the champion to me when he cut that
• 1:05:40
  promo on on Logan Paul like he had the aura, he had the presence
• 1:05:45
  of note, I'm the fucking top guy here. So to me, that's
• 1:05:49
  the only good thing that's come out of this whole thing. All the rest
• 1:05:51
  of it has been a waste, And the match itself is gonna be a
• 1:05:56
  waste, not gonna suck, but it's still gonna be a waste of time.
• 1:06:00
  This is Carlos's most anticipated match of the entire car Right, are you
• 1:06:08
  talking about Gunther versus Toma Loa or Tomatanga. No, I'm talking about Logan.
• 1:06:18
  No. As good as Logan Paul is, like Dre and you mentioned
• 1:06:25
  as soon as they said, as soon as Logan Paul busted out his contract
• 1:06:30
  that he got from his lawyer, that it was only going to be for
• 1:06:35
  Cody. Yeah, they You know, Hunter has done some great things,
• 1:06:44
  but everything's pretty much been like by the book, the only like type of
• 1:06:51
  I guess surprises or swerves that we've gotten, Uh, were like, I
• 1:06:59
  guess I wrestle, you know, because we knew people were going to come
• 1:07:02
  out. We all knew that it was going to be that endgame finish for
• 1:07:05
  the Roman and Cody, but we just didn't know who was going to come
• 1:07:11
  out and when they were going to come out, and especially if Austin was
• 1:07:15
  going to come out. So but everything's just been by the book and them
• 1:07:20
  them handcuffing. You could have left it where that stipulation was not in there
• 1:07:27
  and at least give you, like the illusion that Logan had some chance to
• 1:07:32
  actually win. But now they just like said, you know what, once
• 1:07:36
  this match comes on, you can basically just turn off this pay per view
• 1:07:40
  unless you want to see the actual details of this match. Yeah, yeah,
• 1:07:46
  you're right about that. They could have made this a non title match
• 1:07:50
  and then given us some genuine intrigue on if if Logan could just pull a
• 1:07:56
  surprise upset on the champion. And yeah, to your point, Triple H
• 1:08:01
  has played it pretty dagon safe so far because and to a certain and as
• 1:08:08
  I'm thinking about it here in real time, that would have been bold,
• 1:08:13
  that would have been daring. I don't know if it would have made sense
• 1:08:16
  though, because you can you imagine Cody new champion. We're fresh off of
• 1:08:26
  Roman reigns three year run as champion and now we've got Cody. And in
• 1:08:31
  Cody's second pl e matches Champion, he loses. Even if it's a non
• 1:08:39
  title match, he loses. Yeah, that would it would be yeah shocking?
• 1:08:45
  Yes, yeah, yes it could. Also it could also backfire terribly
• 1:08:53
  and make Cody look real weak as champion. And I don't know if you
• 1:08:57
  want to do that to the guy that you've clearly paid as your face of
• 1:09:00
  the company going forward. I don't know if you want to weak, if
• 1:09:02
  you want to, you know, cut them off at the proverbial knees that
• 1:09:06
  quickly. Maybe if if we were like, you know, seven eight months
• 1:09:12
  into his title run and somebody pulled it off, then yeah, that it
• 1:09:16
  might be more make more sense because he's more firmly established as the champion.
• 1:09:21
  You know, him taking surprise l wouldn't hurt him as much. But the
• 1:09:27
  second match, I'm not mad at them for not being that risky. I
• 1:09:35
  agree Triple A's does need to take more risk. He does need to give
• 1:09:40
  us some more surprises, not that bullshit did it on Monday with fucking Lyra
• 1:09:43
  Valkyrie and the Yo Sky. But he does need to take some more chances
• 1:09:45
  to give us more surprises. And I don't know if this was the one
• 1:09:49
  that if this is the one to do it, yeah baby, yeah,
• 1:09:57
  I don't know, man h. That's it for the title matches. So
• 1:10:04
  it's like three title matches, and then the two are the the King of
• 1:10:11
  the Ring and Queen of the Ring. Okay, so let's just start with
• 1:10:15
  the women's right now, Lyra Valkyrie on Raw is representing Raw. She's gonna
• 1:10:21
  be versing the SmackDown Bracket winner, which is tomorrow, and SmackDown Bracket has
• 1:10:29
  paid Naya Jacks versus Bianca bell Air. Now. As much as much as
• 1:10:36
  I would love to see Bianca bell Air go further in this competition, I
• 1:10:44
  don't think it's gonna happen soon. And I kind of felt that when Jade
• 1:10:53
  got eliminated from this match, I got eliminated from this competition by Naya Jacks,
• 1:11:00
  so it was kind of like, oh shit, Nya's gonna take them
• 1:11:02
  both out and Naya is going to be queens. It's perfect. I think
• 1:11:11
  I don't see Lira. Now that I know that there's a title shot involved,
• 1:11:15
  I don't see Lyra being the person even though yes, her and Becky
• 1:11:20
  have some history, but as of recent her and Naya have more history.
• 1:11:29
  I mean, I just I just think it is perfect. The queen role
• 1:11:34
  is more perfect for Naya that the heel queen that everybody's going to fucking hate.
• 1:11:42
  Ah, it's gonna make her hate her even more and more of a
• 1:11:45
  heel. Uh. I guess yeah, let's just stick with the women's right
• 1:11:49
  now, Dre, what what do you think? Exactly what you just said?
• 1:11:57
  Yeah? And like I said, once they announced that the winner was
• 1:12:00
  gonna get a title opportunity at some point down the line, I immediately knew
• 1:12:04
  Naia Jack's was gonna become Queen of the Ring. Also, the moment fucking
• 1:12:10
  Lyra Valkyria became the one to represent Raw over EO Sky again, fucking bullshit.
• 1:12:17
  Yeah, you pretty much guaranteed that. Okay, Well, the Queen
• 1:12:20
  of the Rings coming from SmackDown, it's either gonna be Bianca or Naya.
• 1:12:26
  And I don't see Bianca being Queen of the Ring at this point because I
• 1:12:33
  think it's a little I think it's a little too early to try to plant
• 1:12:36
  that seed of jealousy between Bianca and Jade. I don't see it. It's
• 1:12:43
  not there yet. They've been real committed to doing long form storytelling, and
• 1:12:50
  now it seemed like skipping ahead a couple of chapters. If oh, we're
• 1:12:56
  tag team champions and I'm Queen of the ring by the way, mm hmmm,
• 1:13:01
  and not unless they were pushed for this match at SummerSlam, which I
• 1:13:04
  don't think that's the case. I don't think they're pushing out to WrestleMania.
• 1:13:10
  Didn't they I'm not saying that they should, but didn't they do that with
• 1:13:14
  Carmela and Selena Vega together as a tag team. They were champions and Selena
• 1:13:18
  Vega was the queen of the Ring. I just think that's just too much
• 1:13:26
  for one one person. You're also like, like, these two girls are
• 1:13:30
  gonna be focused on the tag division. It's probably why they you know,
• 1:13:34
  Jade was taken out so early. Well, quarterfinals, but uh yeah,
• 1:13:41
  Bianca is gonna get taken out in the semi finals. I'm happy they were
• 1:13:44
  even in it. I mean to be honest, but yeah, Carlos,
• 1:13:48
  what do you get in this conversation, who do you think is gonna win
• 1:13:53
  the Queen of the Ring, Naya Jacks, just because I think she would
• 1:13:59
  pretty much own that as a heel queen. We already see how she is
• 1:14:03
  like currently right now with you know, the way she like flicks her hair,
• 1:14:10
  and you know she's always trying to do like these poses already you could
• 1:14:15
  kind of catch like she's been like prepping for this and giving you like little
• 1:14:18
  hints. You know that she is like already written in to win this tournament.
• 1:14:26
  It makes sense for like you guys mentioned that Bianca not when, just
• 1:14:32
  because you know it's too early to break up the tag team of Jade and
• 1:14:39
  her, and they haven't built up enough of the storyline to even make that
• 1:14:45
  type of thing where Jade would be jealous. This is barely technically what her
• 1:14:50
  second month up in the main rods, So why would she be jealous of
• 1:14:59
  anything right now? So it just needs to you know, it needs to
• 1:15:02
  cook a little bit more. You're taking it out, it's you know,
• 1:15:05
  it still needs a little bit more time. So Nya Jacks is the easy
• 1:15:10
  answer, because you're not gonna give Lyra Valkyria a shot, because then if
• 1:15:15
  she gets her shot, and then they said it's gonna be happening in SummerSlam.
• 1:15:19
  Yere's no way that You're already interesting Lyra to be the face of Monday
• 1:15:26
  Night raw hell. So like as much as I don't and I still don't
• 1:15:31
  see what Hunter season here to give her that type of fast promotion. She
• 1:15:36
  just held the NXT title just a little bit ago. You know that Becky.
• 1:15:44
  You know when Becky went back, was it like last winter and she
• 1:15:47
  had it and then she dropped it to Lyra before she dropped it to Rock
• 1:15:53
  Sand Perez. So it's like, it's no, it's it's gonna be Nia
• 1:15:59
  just because Nyam makes the more sense. And you know, right now,
• 1:16:04
  I think from what I mentioned earlier, Live is going to be building towards
• 1:16:09
  that program, still facing off probably Becky a little bit further down, if
• 1:16:14
  not on Money in the Bank, maybe it's it's SummerSlam so and gonna be
• 1:16:20
  Nya and Bailey. Yep, I see that. And Plus ever since Nya
• 1:16:28
  has come back, she's really improved, like she has really stepped her game
• 1:16:34
  up. She's gotten much better in the ring. You haven't heard any complaints
• 1:16:39
  or anybody say anything about her injuring people or anything of that nature. Like,
• 1:16:45
  she has really really stepped her game up in this second run with WWE.
• 1:16:49
  And when somebody performs like that, when somebody steps their game up and
• 1:16:55
  improves like that, they deserve to be rewarded. So excuse me if you're
• 1:17:00
  not gonna reward her with a title yet, then Queen of the Ring is
• 1:17:06
  a good step. It's a good thing for her to have a good accolade
• 1:17:10
  for her to have, let her build herself up more, become more credible,
• 1:17:15
  enhance her character until the point where you decide she is, you know,
• 1:17:20
  ready to either become the champion or challenge again in the main event picture
• 1:17:27
  as and she can cash in that opportunity as queen. So yeah, she
• 1:17:30
  she has earned this and I'm glad to see her get it. Cool.
• 1:17:36
  Cool, all right, let's talk about the men's The King of the Ring
• 1:17:44
  right now on Raw representing Raw is Gunther. He defeated jay Usso the other
• 1:17:49
  day and for a SmackDown we are getting We're getting tomorrow Randy Orton versus Tom
• 1:18:00
  Tonga. Winner of that will go on to the finals. Uh, how
• 1:18:05
  I see this going? Is I see Rainy Orton going forward, It just
• 1:18:14
  makes sense. Jay Us didn't go forward Tom. I honestly would have thought
• 1:18:19
  that jay Usso and Toma Tongua would have came across each other at some point.
• 1:18:25
  Uh, you know it didn't happen. I just I don't see I
• 1:18:30
  just don't see any reason for Tomatongua to go forward unless he's just gonna be
• 1:18:35
  taken out, unless he's gonna be putting on a good match with gunthro But
• 1:18:39
  I don't see it happening now Orton versus Gunthar two. There's wonderful reasons why
• 1:18:45
  this this match should happen. I mean, come on, Orton has everything,
• 1:18:51
  He's done everything under the sun. But when King of the Ring,
• 1:18:56
  he's done money in the bank, he's done the Rumble, He's won the
• 1:18:59
  Intercontinental, the United States, the Tag Team, the World titled, the
• 1:19:03
  He's won, He's won all the titles, w W, He's he's done
• 1:19:08
  it all. He just hasn't done King of the Ring. Uh. I
• 1:19:14
  mean so right, there was a good reason why Orton would be a great
• 1:19:16
  pick for this, But gunther Oh, gunther Man, talk about a guy
• 1:19:24
  who's been on a fucking role since his main roster. Call this guy held
• 1:19:30
  the Intercontinental title for six hundred and sixty six days and made that title relevant
• 1:19:35
  again. And for people who don't know about Gunther's reigns before this, go
• 1:19:43
  and look he was the NXT UK champion. He was. He was bigger
• 1:19:47
  too than heavier, not muscle mass, just mass in general. H He
• 1:19:55
  did great work in NXT and he's been very well pertect coming up on this
• 1:20:01
  roster. I mean, like all his finishes to his matches aren't all the
• 1:20:05
  same. I mean we saw him choke out jay Uso the other day,
• 1:20:11
  you know, in a sleeper. Not many it has been a while since
• 1:20:14
  that's happened. I really think with the momentum here, I really want to
• 1:20:19
  see both these guys, this is probably my most anticipated match. If we're
• 1:20:25
  getting Orton, if we're going this route. I can't jump the gun here
• 1:20:29
  because yeah, you never know. But it's my most anticipated match, believe
• 1:20:32
  it or not. And as as much as I would love to see Orton,
• 1:20:40
  just it's lined up perfect, you know, for him to get it
• 1:20:43
  all, decide to check everything off, you know, this is it.
• 1:20:47
  There's a lot of people I think about the drop pass my house, no
• 1:20:53
  what the hell sounded like a jet bus. I don't know what the hell
• 1:20:56
  that was, but anyway, Yeah, I feel like this is Gunther's time,
• 1:21:04
  This is it, this is this is his next step. Like he's
• 1:21:08
  the longest ring intercal champion. Now he's going to be King Gunther and then
• 1:21:14
  after that, then then it's the world title. Uh dre, who do
• 1:21:20
  you think is coming out King? Yeah? When I said that triple H
• 1:21:27
  announcing that the King and Queen of the Ring would get championship title match opportunities
• 1:21:34
  in the future, and that took all the suspense out of this tournament because
• 1:21:40
  the moment he announced that, the winners became immediately known and predictable. To
• 1:21:45
  me, this is what I was meaning. This is what I meant the
• 1:21:47
  second he made that. I heard about that announcement, I knew Gunther was
• 1:21:53
  going to become King of the Ring. I mean, I pretty much already
• 1:21:56
  suspected that beforehand, but that pretty much solidified. This is just the next
• 1:22:01
  step in Gunter's gradual ascension to the top. The best thing about this is
• 1:22:08
  the fact that no matter who comes out on the SmackDown side, you're gonna
• 1:22:13
  have a hell of an intriguing men's final in the King of the Ring Tournament
• 1:22:16
  Gunter versus Randy Orton. I don't think with I don't think those two have
• 1:22:19
  ever locked up before, so that'd be a first time. So that's gonna
• 1:22:24
  be a great match. Both of them can absolutely cook, right, and
• 1:22:28
  that'll be a hell of a match. And for Gunter's ascension, this makes
• 1:22:32
  sense for him to face somebody of Randy Orton's caliber at this point and not
• 1:22:38
  be a throwaway match that just happens on like a random episode of Raw or
• 1:22:45
  something like that. Like these two meeting for the first time in a match
• 1:22:48
  with some real stakes behind it. This is how it should happen, how
• 1:22:54
  it should be done, not like how Vince tried to do with Lesner and
• 1:22:58
  Austin back in the day when he's just like I, Austin, I want
• 1:23:01
  you to lose the brock Lesner on Raw in Wichita, Kansas or wherever the
• 1:23:05
  fuck, which calls Austin to walk out of the company. This is the
• 1:23:11
  right way to do it if you got the guy that's on to come up,
• 1:23:15
  because you could argue that guns is on a elevation, maybe not the
• 1:23:23
  exact obviously not the exact same as like a brock Lesner or a Goldberg.
• 1:23:28
  It's much more of a slow burn. And because of that, it's it's
• 1:23:33
  making it is giving him so much more more credibility, it's giving him so
• 1:23:40
  much more you know, stature on his run. He's not just the you
• 1:23:45
  know, the new hotness, he's not just the flash in the pan like.
• 1:23:49
  He's really grinding his way up and really and doing it in the same
• 1:23:56
  dominant fashion like a Goldberg did, like a rock Lesner did. Granted they
• 1:24:01
  went undefeated, but Gunter, for all intensive purposes about damn near undefeated.
• 1:24:08
  He's had long ass runs at every stage of the game and pretty much dominated
• 1:24:13
  every step of the way from NXT to SmackDown to becoming an AIRER Continental champion.
• 1:24:18
  And now the next step is gonna be King of the Ring, and
• 1:24:23
  then at whatever point he decides he wants to become world champion, you can
• 1:24:27
  pretty much book it that he's going to win because he's that guy. Said
• 1:24:33
  him and Randy Orton makes for a great match if it turns out for somehow
• 1:24:38
  to beat Toma Tonga. To me, that's a hell of an intriguing match,
• 1:24:43
  just for the Bloodline factor and how they might factor into the King of
• 1:24:46
  the Ring. Granted, I don't think they're gonna do that because it wouldn't
• 1:24:53
  look good for Bloodline two point Zeros for Solo Soca to be the leader.
• 1:24:59
  But Tomaton is the King of the Ring. Like that's clearly a conflict of
• 1:25:03
  power dynamics within the group. So pretty obvious that Raindy Orton is gonna come
• 1:25:11
  out on the SmackDown side. He's gonna overcome the blood Line, probably with
• 1:25:15
  some assistance from like Kevin Owens or somebody coming to help him out, to
• 1:25:19
  help fight him off. And I'm pretty sure the Saudis want to see Randy
• 1:25:25
  Orton versus Gunter in a match. You know this, This will probably be
• 1:25:29
  the match of the night on the show, honestly. But yeah, Gunch
• 1:25:31
  is winning, There's no doubt about it. Carlos, come on, man,
• 1:25:42
  what's it? What do he got? Okay? So fun fact,
• 1:25:48
  before this match, I always want I was fantasy booking that Tomatanga should win,
• 1:25:56
  and the reason for that is because Haku was King of the Ring,
• 1:26:03
  so because that's a son, it would have been since all right, sorry
• 1:26:12
  if that, uh well, I lost internet connection. That ended up falling
• 1:26:15
  out of the of the party of the recording. Uh. But the last
• 1:26:19
  part we got, Carlos, you were mentioning something about you want Tomatanga to
• 1:26:25
  Uh you think you found a fantasy booking of how he would win this and
• 1:26:29
  involving h Haku and and you know was a former King of the Ring winner.
• 1:26:35
  Uh, just go in further detail of that. Well, the thing
• 1:26:40
  is, he wasn't the King of the Ring winner. He was just King
• 1:26:43
  Haku because Harley Race had gotten hurt. And then I think he just like
• 1:26:49
  took it over. And Meng is Meng Haku. You know who's gonna question
• 1:26:56
  him and be like, oh, you can't be King of the Ring.
• 1:26:59
  So we all know the stories of Haku and you know slash Meng. So
• 1:27:04
  it would have been fun if they would have been able to get Tama to
• 1:27:08
  also be a king, just to follow that lineage. His father was king,
• 1:27:13
  he's king, you know, keep that whole blood lenge thing going.
• 1:27:16
  But once hunter an now, so it's gonna be for a title like,
• 1:27:20
  well, I guess that's not gonna happen unless you know, you have this
• 1:27:25
  whole thing where Tama like forfeits or hands over his uh his championship opportunity to
• 1:27:31
  solo. But that's not gonna happen. That would look dumb. So Gunter
• 1:27:35
  is gonna win. And you know it's gonna be like you guys said,
• 1:27:39
  it's gonna be a good match. I guess they felt maybe they had something
• 1:27:44
  when they had that triple threat match with Randy and Kevin Owens, and I
• 1:27:50
  guess Randy is the one they got the call to keep going with him.
• 1:27:57
  Yeah, very true. And you know what it's unique about this card is
• 1:28:00
  a no judgment day at all on the card, No judgment day and no
• 1:28:05
  judgment day no yeah, unless they announced something this Friday. Yeah, we
• 1:28:14
  got a very short card, which means we're probably gonna get long matches and
• 1:28:18
  a whole lot of fluff because we got what three matches that we know of
• 1:28:26
  ye, three matches we know of it, then the two King of the
• 1:28:28
  Ring finals matches. Yeah, they don't want no bullshit matches for we want
• 1:28:32
  something on the line. Man, Maybe they get Stone Cold to run out
• 1:28:39
  there. Well, you can't drink beer, so stone Cold is out.
• 1:28:43
  Never mind what there's water bottles and Stone Cold already said he's done done,
• 1:28:50
  so Uh, dude, tre do you have anything you want to plug?
• 1:28:58
  Nothing at this point in time, Just as always you always if i'd me
