  Welcome back ladies and gentlemen and friends from the
• 0:01
  M3P community to the little place on the Internet where we
• 0:04
  all gather to celebrate not just one long standing American
• 0:10
  tradition, but two as some of you are placing your Turkey in
• 0:15
  the oven and getting those sweet yams.
• 0:19
  Those yams ready for the family to eat.
• 0:21
  Well, ham and all the other stuff but those sweet sweet hams
• 0:24
  baby. I will be celebrating another
• 0:27
  tradition this weekend and not just being in a food coma.
• 0:32
  I've been celebrating this tradition since I heard about it
• 0:34
  and since it started in 1987. And this is a good old fashioned
• 0:38
  headbanger called Survivor Series War Games.
• 0:43
  Because what better way to celebrate the holidays other
• 0:45
  than carving Turkey and sitting with a bunch of people that you
• 0:49
  see yearly? So why not just go all in?
• 0:52
  Power slam some aunts, elbow drop on some uncles and point
• 0:58
  those fingers in the sky to announce that if your cousins
• 1:03
  don't acknowledge you, you're going to Superman punch them.
• 1:09
  Mom and Dad will be so proud of you this year.

• 2:29
  to. Keep him quiet, all right?
• 2:30
  All right. He.
• 2:33
  Should be actually probably getting back right about now and
• 2:37
  usually once the walk is over he chills so.
• 2:42
  Unless he hears my voice and then he'll be like.
• 2:48
  So he can't hear you. OK, all right, fine.
• 2:53
  That's fine. OK.
• 2:59
  No as. I told you before, he becomes
• 3:02
  very, how do you say aggressive? Yeah, and persistent.
• 3:09
  So I'm like. Well, it's just US 2 for this
• 3:18
  evening. So, Are you ready to talk about
• 3:21
  Survivor Series? I am still ready to talk about
• 3:24
  Survivor Series. Survivor Series War Games
• 3:30
  Survivor Series war games this year will be Saturday, November
• 3:33
  30th, 2024 in Vancouver, BC, Canada at the Rogers Arena.
• 3:40
  Show will start at 3:00 PM Eastern, 2:00 PM Central Noon
• 3:44
  Pacific. That's you.
• 3:47
  This will be the first Virus take place in Vancouver and the
• 3:51
  first favorite event held in the city and venue since Rock Bottom
• 3:55
  in Your House in 1998. I barely remember that.
• 4:00
  It will subsequently be the first virus event held in Canada
• 4:03
  after 1997 in Montreal and 2016 in Toronto.
• 4:07
  Oh, that one. This will also be the main final
• 4:11
  main roster pay-per-view and live stream event to air on the
• 4:13
  WE Network and international markets and binge in Australia,
• 4:17
  with future pay-per-view and live stream events airing on
• 4:20
  Netflix from January 2025 onward.
• 4:24
  OK, before we move on, we got to talk about the Netflix stuff.
• 4:31
  Yes. Were you one of the people that
• 4:34
  watched the fight? I did and.
• 4:38
  On Netflix. I did and it didn't start
• 4:43
  buffering till the actual main event.
• 4:47
  The actual main event. OK.
• 4:49
  And I was like, they better get it together.
• 4:52
  Yeah. Because I mean, I know Mike
• 4:55
  Tyson fighting is, you know, a big deal.
• 5:00
  But if that's any indication how it's going to be in January for
• 5:04
  WWE, I think the higher ups are not going to be too happy.
• 5:10
  Any for any live, live event? Sabrina Carpenter's supposed to
• 5:17
  do a Christmas show in a few weeks here.
• 5:23
  December 3rd or 5th or 8th, somewhere around there.
• 5:26
  So that's going to be a live show.
• 5:30
  Obviously some people are excited.
• 5:32
  I'm a very Sabrina Carpenter fan, of course, you know, but
• 5:35
  still like, I'll probably go catch it, but not like alive.
• 5:40
  I'm not that kind of a fan, but other people are.
• 5:43
  But I'll probably catch it after to just like Fast forward to
• 5:47
  some songs that I actually know and, you know, and if I see
• 5:53
  Domingo, I'll probably just like, hey, Domingo's there.
• 5:57
  Sorry. Saturday live joke.
• 6:01
  Oh, OK. Domingo from Saturday Night
• 6:03
  Live. Is that the the Hispanic guy?
• 6:09
  Yeah. OK, no, I couldn't remember his
• 6:12
  name, but I know. He's Sunday.
• 6:15
  I mean go yeah, alright. Other than that, anything that
• 6:20
  comes live. I'm just like so cautious with
• 6:23
  Netflix. I was like ever since they did
• 6:25
  the roast, but the roast went not went went with wow.
• 6:29
  I don't think anybody knew about the roast.
• 6:31
  That's why nobody was tuning in. But it did well with Tyson.
• 6:36
  Everybody knew about Tyson. It's like, oh, here we go with
• 6:39
  Tyson. Everybody was going in because
• 6:41
  they wanted to see it. So it's like probably why the
• 6:43
  entire thing was buffering, because everybody was trying to
• 6:48
  tune in. I know I was trying to tune in
• 6:50
  at the same time that I had a free stream going on the same
• 6:53
  stream that I watch Raw and Smack down alone and I was
• 6:59
  watching that at the same time as the next trying to get on a
• 7:02
  Netflix 1. But here it was 2 rounds behind
• 7:06
  over on Netflix is it was already over by that time I.
• 7:09
  Went in there OK. Everybody was like the only, the
• 7:14
  only fear I had was like, oh, people are gonna freaking tell
• 7:16
  me what happened behind like, no, nobody came in.
• 7:21
  I was, I'm like, oh, I guess he lost.
• 7:24
  Like whoa, like everybody's logged off of Netflix and all
• 7:28
  that stuff. And now here we are.
• 7:31
  What's the 1st? I don't want to be like watch
• 7:34
  Royal Rumble 54321 buffering. Well, so that's what I was.
• 7:44
  I was wondering if I know they're getting rid of WWE
• 7:48
  Network but does that mean they're getting rid of?
• 7:53
  Peacock. Peacock.
• 7:54
  Yeah. Really.
• 7:58
  So everything is just going to be on Netflix.
• 8:01
  Well, not until 2025 or 2026. I didn't read that.
• 8:04
  I forgot there was there was a point where I did see in the
• 8:11
  news where they were going to get rid of Peacock just yet, but
• 8:16
  because of smack down also, you're not going to see smack
• 8:20
  down on net Netflix. He's just going to see raw
• 8:23
  Netflix. You're.
• 8:24
  Still going to see. All the paper views and stuff.
• 8:29
  So it's just going to be raw for now.
• 8:31
  That's going to show up on Netflix.
• 8:33
  I don't know about any of that stuff yet, so we'll see other
• 8:37
  than that. Yeah, because on like Sports
• 8:41
  Kita, they put the letter that went out to the WWE Network
• 8:46
  subscribers. But I was like, well, it just,
• 8:51
  you know, it said it was just talking about that.
• 8:54
  It's going to be, you know, they'll have some PL.
• 8:57
  ES on there. But then I was like, is that,
• 9:01
  what does that mean about Peacock?
• 9:03
  You know? Yeah.
• 9:04
  They're taking it off Peacock too.
• 9:06
  I just saw that. Featured.
• 9:08
  Pay-per-view and live streaming events airing on Netflix from
• 9:11
  January 2025 onward. They have until January 6 to get
• 9:18
  their shit together so. We'll see.
• 9:22
  We'll see how it goes. That is a few weeks away.
• 9:26

  Hi everyone, I'm Lisa and I'm Dawn and if you've ever watched
• 10:33
  a TV show and thought to yourself, Oh my God, that season
• 10:35
  finale plot to us was absolutely bonkers.
• 10:37
  Or seen a movie and thought, wow, I need to talk to somebody
• 10:40
  about this train wreck immediately.
• 10:42
  Then we think you'll fit right in with our podcast.
• 10:44
  I hate it. Let's watch it.
• 10:45
  We watch TV shows like Riverdale and Emily in Paris and movies
• 10:48
  like Deep Water Killer, Sofa Rubber and Deadly Illusions.
• 10:51
  We give them the total rinse and you deserve.
• 10:53
  It's basically group therapy for Movie Maskus, so come check us
• 10:56
  out wherever you stream podcasts.
• 11:04
  All right, OK. First match well that we're
• 11:09
  going to talk about LA Knight versus Shinsuke Nakamura for the
• 11:12
  United States Championship. After eliminate successful
• 11:17
  defense of the United States Championship on November 15th
• 11:19
  episode Smackdown, he was really attacked by returning Chinsky
• 11:22
  Nakamura who would attack Knight once again the following week
• 11:25
  after another successful title defense.
• 11:28
  During the 20 November 25th episode, Rye was announced that
• 11:31
  Knight would defend the title against Nakamura at Survivor
• 11:33
  Series War games. How did he get in front of the
• 11:38
  line? I don't know, Just like you know
• 11:45
  it, I know it was, you know, he shows up what, 223 Smackdowns
• 11:52
  ago? You know, I will say I am glad
• 11:56
  he's not interfering with the matches.
• 12:00
  He's waiting till after the bell.
• 12:03
  He is. You know, so he's not
• 12:06
  interfering during the match, he's letting the winner win and
• 12:10
  then he attacks so. So if we're it's this is
• 12:14
  Nakamura the heel Nakamura, are we getting the singer pack for
• 12:19
  his entrance? Because I really hated that.
• 12:25
  I just want to sing the song. Oh no, I didn't like the rapper.
• 12:34
  Just like. Oh see, that was them.
• 12:36
  That must have been before my time.
• 12:39
  No, it was like a few years ago possibly.
• 12:43
  Around because I know 20 Rick Boogs was playing him on Oh
• 12:50
  Goodness he would do the guitar, but I don't remember any
• 12:54
  stinker. Yeah, forgot all about him.
• 12:58
  Thank you for reminding me of him.
• 12:59
  You. Fucked.
• 13:03
  Up. What is it called?
• 13:07
  Deaf rebel is gone. I think I hope I did by this
• 13:10
  time. Deaf rebels music producers,
• 13:13
  right? The one that would you because
• 13:15
  everybody complain about these guys on Twitter like these songs
• 13:19
  suck. Every time somebody would come
• 13:21
  out, it's like their names would go 1st and.
• 13:24
  Then their songs. Like, like what?
• 13:27
  Oh, OK. All right.
• 13:31
  So Nakamura versus LA Knight for the United States Championship,
• 13:37
  this is just a filler match, the match to start off the event,
• 13:43
  All right, Why not? Or in the middle actually.
• 13:48
  Yeah. I'm gonna go with LA Knight.
• 13:52
  Yeah. Yeah, and I kind of miss Logan
• 13:55
  Paul. I don't.
• 13:59
  I do not. I do.
• 14:02
  I kind of miss Logan Paul. But you know, did you see?
• 14:08
  Yeah, I done it. You know, I ain't suing you
• 14:12
  because, you know, it's just a difference of opinion, that's
• 14:14
  all. So, but did you see that?
• 14:20
  Was it a Port Illustrated or PWI?
• 14:27
  Somebody put out a best 30 under 30 and Rosa Paul's like #22.
• 14:36
  Yeah, Sports Illustrated did it. They won't let me forget it
• 14:40
  because all of those I follow all of them.
• 14:44
  Oh yeah, what's? What's her name?
• 14:46
  Oh shoot, I forgot her name already.
• 14:51
  The one from TNA. She's the one that's been
• 14:53
  reposting. And posting.
• 14:55
  Jordan Grace. Grace.
• 14:57
  Uh huh. Yeah.
• 15:00
  Yeah, she's on that. Been posting and reposting and
• 15:02
  I'm just like, oh, damn, you're under 30.
• 15:04
  Really. Yeah.
• 15:05
  Jordan, Grace ESPNE. SPNES.
• 15:09
  PN did it, yeah, for second year in a row.
• 15:14
  So I was looking at, I was reading off and some of the some
• 15:19
  of them I recognize because from like AW or WWE.
• 15:24
  And then there were some that I think maybe from Japan, but
• 15:30
  Jamie Hader, who's in ADW, she's under 30.
• 15:33
  And I'm like, really? What?
• 15:36
  Really. I didn't know.
• 15:37
  That she looks like she's 40. Wow.
• 15:42
  Yeah, she looks old. I'm like her.
• 15:45
  She must have a really stressful life.
• 15:49
  Wow. Because.
• 15:50
  Yeah, I, I don't know, just yeah, Her being she's 29, so I'm
• 15:57
  like she barely makes it. I think she turns 30 next month
• 16:04
  so it's like. Oh, didn't know that.
• 16:10
  Yeah. Hey, back to water, OK?
• 16:28
  I do hate that Dominic Mysterio is #1.
• 16:33
  What he's #1? I guess.
• 16:37
  No way Why? Yes, I don't know.
• 16:42
  I didn't is. It like the top?
• 16:44
  Is it like what? Is it the top 30 or?
• 16:47
  Is it just like best 30 wrestlers under the age of 30?
• 16:54
  He is #1 yeah, no, top ten. He's #1 he's #1 on this 30 under
• 17:05
  30. He's number one under 30.
• 17:08
  And that's the order. Yeah.
• 17:13
  And Mommy is number 4. Oh girl, yes, at least OK,
• 17:18
  that's fine, I'm OK with that. She needs.
• 17:26
  To be in top 10. Yes, yes, she's in top 10, so
• 17:30
  that's good. But I'm like, yeah.
• 17:33
  Can't believe I didn't save that.
• 17:37
  No, I didn't save it. OK, that's fine.
• 17:40
  We'll get around to it anyway. OK, so who do we got?
• 17:55
  I said. LA Knight.
• 18:00
  I think it's too soon. First dense case, so I'm saying
• 18:03
  LA Knight as well. Yeah, like he just came back.
• 18:06
  Everything. Yeah.
• 18:10
  Lift him up a little bit more, get him to do some other stuff.
• 18:14
  Yeah. All right, next match on the
• 18:18
  card Brown Breaker just announced.
• 18:20
  Brown Breaker with Shamus was a little bit Kaiser triple trip
• 18:24
  match for the WE Intercronal championship on the November
• 18:28
  18th episode of Rob Rod Breaker defending intercronal
• 18:30
  championship against Shamus. During the match Imperiums
• 18:34
  Ludwig Kaiser, who had been embroiled in the rivalry with
• 18:37
  Shamus over the past few months, attack Breaker causing the DQ
• 18:40
  win for Breaker to retain the title.
• 18:42
  The following league Breaker faced Kaiser in a non title
• 18:45
  match which ended in the DQ win for Kaiser after Shamus attacked
• 18:49
  him. A bra subsequently ensued
• 18:51
  between all three men. Raw general manager Adam Pierce
• 18:54
  then scheduled bring to defend his title against both Sheamus
• 18:56
  and Kaiser in a triple threat match at Survivor Series War
• 18:59
  Games. I'm kind of torn on this.
• 19:09
  Yeah. Because I like, I actually, you
• 19:15
  know, don't mind all three, right?
• 19:18
  But I don't mind all three. But I don't know if Ludwig is
• 19:27
  ready for that title yet. What's that mean?
• 19:34
  He has to. He hasn't put in the work.
• 19:36
  I'm going to say he hasn't put in the work because he had.
• 19:39
  He hasn't really been, you know, on TV fighting.
• 19:42
  He does dark matches. Yeah.
• 19:46
  But, you know, we want to see him on TV.
• 19:50
  When I saw him in his dark match, you know, he does well.
• 19:53
  He's a great wrestler. I will give him that.
• 19:54
  I don't, you know, particularly care for him.
• 19:57
  But you know, he does, You know, he's a great athlete.
• 20:04
  OK, Front breaker. I'm like, he just got it back.
• 20:09
  You know, I think they should let him keep it for a little
• 20:13
  bit. But then I'm like.
• 20:16
  I don't know if Sheamus had shit what they said.
• 20:19
  Sheamus hasn't had that one, right?
• 20:23
  So I'm like, I think it's Sheamus's time.
• 20:27
  So I'm saying changes. OK, I still say breaker.
• 20:35
  I was like, I don't I don't see anybody beating him now.
• 20:40
  I will unless he unless somebody else the other two pin each
• 20:44
  other. That's right, But I don't see
• 20:46
  breaker like losing the belt just now or getting pinned over
• 20:50
  it when he just lost AJ and just regained it back.
• 20:53
  It's going to hurt his momentum of all the way to Royal Rumble.
• 20:59
  I don't know who he would face, but then put him in the Royal
• 21:03
  Rumble match. That'd be great.
• 21:06
  Like go after the big belt. That'd be who's the champion out
• 21:12
  Gunther true contrepress breaker.
• 21:14
  That'd be great. Yeah, you.
• 21:20
  Know they they need to have yeah they they need to have some some
• 21:25
  more opponents for the champ yeah so.
• 21:33
  Next match, the women's Wargate match, Ria Ripley, Bianca
• 21:38
  Bellaire, Naomi EO, Sky and have you announced the 5th person?
• 21:47
  Kind of, I think. They did, do you know?
• 21:52
  About the 5th person, I I do. OK, so.
• 21:56
  Bailey because of FRA. Yeah, because of FRA.
• 21:59
  You know, they had, they didn't officially, you know, but it's
• 22:06
  online, so I guess they did. Yeah, it's online.
• 22:09
  It's it's happening on Friday Night Smackdown.
• 22:12
  If you're watching this, if you don't want to get spoiled too
• 22:16
  late, there it is. Bailey is the 5th member of the
• 22:21
  team. They're going up against the
• 22:23
  judgement day. Lib Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez,
• 22:25
  NIA Jack, Stephanie Stratton and Candace Lou Rey war games at Bad
• 22:33
  Blood. Lib Morgan defended Ross Women's
• 22:36
  World Championship against Ria Ripley, which Ripley won by
• 22:39
  disqualification as we're being attacked by returning Rico
• 22:42
  Rodriguez. Morgan retains his championship
• 22:46
  to not change hands by DQ or count unless stipulated.
• 22:50
  Rodriguez subsequently became a number of the Judgement Day
• 22:53
  alongside Morgan. On the October 29th, up to the
• 22:57
  NXT, Ripley was brutally attacked by Morgan and Rodriguez
• 23:00
  in the Performance Center parking lot, suffering an orbit
• 23:03
  of bone injury, taking her out of action.
• 23:06
  And definitely that. That's it right there right at
• 23:10
  Crown Jewel. On November 2nd, the Morgan
• 23:12
  defeated Smackdown to the Women Champion.
• 23:14
  I jacked to Wendy inaugural W Women's Crown Jewel Championship
• 23:17
  after interfering from Rodriguez and Dirty Dominic Mysterio.
• 23:22
  On the following episode of Raw, Morgan, Rodriguez and Mysterio
• 23:24
  celebrated her victory before being interrupted by W Women's
• 23:27
  Tag Team Champions Bianca Bellaire, Jade Cargill, and a
• 23:30
  brawl and stood between two teams.
• 23:32
  Later that night, a battle royal took place to determine Morgan's
• 23:35
  next challenger, during which Morgan and Rodriguez eliminated
• 23:37
  Bel Air and Cargo. Despite not being involved in
• 23:39
  the match, which was ultimately won by EO Sky, Bel Air and
• 23:45
  Cargill didn't defeated Morgan and Rodriguez the next episode
• 23:47
  to retain their titles. On that Friday's Smackdown,
• 23:50
  Morgan and Rodriguez attacked Bel Air and Cargill backstage
• 23:54
  during Jack's title defense against Naomi, which she
• 23:56
  ultimately won after interfere from her allies Tiffany Strands
• 24:00
  and Ken Larae. On the following up with the
• 24:03
  Raw, the team of Bel Air, Cargill, Naomi, and Sky
• 24:06
  confronted the team of Morgan, Rodriguez, Jack, Stratton,
• 24:09
  Larae, before Ripley made a surprise return as a fifth
• 24:11
  member of Bel Air's team. Ripley, the Ken War Games and
• 24:15
  the two team brawls, with a War Game Match subsequently being
• 24:19
  scheduled for Superior Stage War Games.
• 24:21
  During the November 22 episode of Smackdown, Cargill was
• 24:24
  attacked by stage by an unknown assailant, taking her out of
• 24:27
  action. Definitely on November 25th up
• 24:30
  to the Rod Jacks will face Bel Air to determine which team will
• 24:33
  have the War Games advantage. Wait, what?
• 24:41
  Who? Who had The Who had the
• 24:44
  advantage? Who won the match?
• 24:47
  Yeah. Bianca Beller won the so so they
• 24:52
  get the war games advantage. So that means we get to find out
• 24:59
  later on the night, the very end, OK.
• 25:03
  Yeah, so Friday is the men's advantage.
• 25:10
  OK, so Friday is the men's. We'll find out who gets to have
• 25:14
  that advantage. First of all, who attacked Jade?
• 25:21
  You know, I don't know, I, I thought maybe it was the
• 25:28
  judgment day, but then I'm like, you know what?
• 25:32
  No, because they would be bragging that they took her out.
• 25:36
  They would, They would. Because they bragged that they
• 25:39
  got Rhea. You know what I mean?
• 25:41
  Point. There.
• 25:43
  So that's what I'm like. So it it can't be those two
• 25:46
  because, you know, even when they talk when on raw and they
• 25:51
  were saying, oh, you know, well, whoever did that, you know, good
• 25:54
  for them, you know, so I was like, it wasn't those two.
• 26:00
  Good shit. I I, I am not sure to be honest,
• 26:05
  but whoever did it messed her up.
• 26:12
  They messed her up. Yeah, they did.
• 26:15
  Speculation is people on Twitter of course.
• 26:19
  Obviously the only reason I go on Twitter now is to eat popcorn
• 26:23
  and hear what they have to say. I'm on blue sky mostly.
• 26:26
  This guy is perfect serene. There's no drama there.
• 26:31
  Let me. Go back to Twitter and just
• 26:32
  check out. Everybody's like talking.
• 26:34
  They're smack against each other.
• 26:39
  So they're saying that it was Bianca Biller.
• 26:44
  Supposedly they don't like each other in real life so.
• 26:47
  I have heard that before. Supposedly so it's like, oh, who
• 26:53
  you hear that from Twitter? Like all right, well, supposedly
• 26:58
  they don't like each other in real life.
• 26:59
  So they they're now like doing the whole thing.
• 27:02
  So it might have been Bianca Bellaire.
• 27:06
  This where she gets the heel turn and like to me, it should
• 27:13
  have been the other way around. Bianca get thrown to the saying
• 27:17
  Jade is turns to heal or this could be switched up to again
• 27:23
  who knows. But Bianca doing the whole thing
• 27:27
  where she's the one that did it reminds me so much of Shawn,
• 27:30
  Michael and Triple H when they did it.
• 27:36
  It could also be Bailey doing it turning heel again cuz I don't
• 27:44
  like her some face turning heel again and then also she's
• 27:48
  teaming with EO Skye, yeah. That's that's what I said, you
• 27:53
  know, that sounds like I don't understand this pairing.
• 27:59
  You know, I don't, I mean Bianca and Bria, you know, they,
• 28:05
  they've always kind of had respect for each other, you
• 28:08
  know? Yes.
• 28:09
  Is NXT of course. Yeah, and you know, Jade and
• 28:15
  Bianca, you know, they were their tag team partners, so you
• 28:18
  know, why not? But I was like, I don't
• 28:20
  understand why they would want EO Sky, why EO Sky came out, you
• 28:26
  know, to help them when you know, there's for the damage
• 28:33
  control is still, you know, heels kind of, I guess together,
• 28:38
  yeah. Yeah, and weren't they like
• 28:41
  fighting against Bailey last year and then?
• 28:44
  Yeah. And.
• 28:45
  Beyond No, this year, this year, this year they were fighting
• 28:49
  against, they were with Bailey last year.
• 28:52
  And then this year when Bailey won the Yeah, the Royal Rumble,
• 28:59
  they kicked her out of damage control when she fought Yeah, EO
• 29:07
  well before she fought EO. So right after she made her
• 29:11
  announcement that she would go with EO because they were
• 29:14
  stabbing her in the back. But yeah, so I'm like, I don't
• 29:17
  understand this pairing at all. I'm like, I get Bianca, Jade and
• 29:22
  Naomi because they're the big three.
• 29:25
  You know, Ria, it's because she wants to get her hands on
• 29:29
  everybody live in Raquel. But I was like, you know, we'll
• 29:34
  see. I don't trust EO and Bailey.
• 29:40
  And why Bailey in there? Why not have EOS like hey Kyrie
• 29:46
  come come and hang out? Or.
• 29:48
  Dakota. Dakota.
• 29:51
  Yeah. I don't trust Dakota in war
• 29:53
  games though, so no. We're not doing the.
• 29:56
  Dakota Kai, No. Anything Dakota does in war
• 30:01
  games, I'm just like, ever since she did that, I'm triggered.
• 30:04
  Ever since she did that to Tegan Knox.
• 30:07
  Like anything like even the Kodakai versus Raquel that would
• 30:13
  have been yeah, still. But still I.
• 30:15
  Don't trust the Kodakai anywhere near war games anymore after
• 30:18
  that. Whole thing.
• 30:22
  So I yeah, OK, Bailey's fine in there, but it's still like, what
• 30:29
  it was. It was weird after the winter.
• 30:33
  I don't know. I also love the fact that we are
• 30:37
  wearing this whole new headgear. Yeah.
• 30:43
  This whole year everybody's like a few other wrestlers have been
• 30:46
  hurt too and then they born Head of Faith Gears and stuff, JC
• 30:52
  Jane. Earlier in the year NXT Cody
• 30:56
  Rose came in there and like said hi to everybody on NXT, showed
• 31:01
  up with a brown bag and gave his old headgear to JC Jane and
• 31:07
  someone said what? What was Cody Rhodes old
• 31:15
  gimmick? I forgot what it was.
• 31:16
  It's just like dashing. Oh, OK.
• 31:20
  Somebody said, oh, dashing. He's all.
• 31:22
  Yeah. So that was fun.
• 31:24
  That was a fun nod to the past. Somebody else's face also got
• 31:28
  hurt. I can't remember what, but it
• 31:30
  was no. Most notably, it was JC, Jane
• 31:33
  and now Ria Ripley. I'm like, oh damn, this.
• 31:37
  Everybody came. Their face poured up real quick.
• 31:39
  This year I. Know well 'cause I my sister was
• 31:45
  saying that she read that the whole reason why Ria was out, it
• 31:52
  wasn't because of Liv and Raquel.
• 31:55
  They made it, you know, for kayfabe to make it look like,
• 31:59
  you know, they did it. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 32:01
  Her head butting somebody at a house show, it went wrong.
• 32:06
  So that's why she was messed up here.
• 32:10
  Oh, yeah, There have been other wrestlers that have had butted
• 32:14
  before and they, like, broke their orbital bone or their
• 32:17
  head. It's bad.
• 32:19
  You you just don't do that anymore.
• 32:21
  Yeah. CTE.
• 32:22
  Come on. CTE.
• 32:23
  Isn't that what happened to Chris Benoit?
• 32:27
  Probably. Don't not do that again.
• 32:30
  So who do we have in this mission?
• 32:34
  I. Want to say yes?
• 32:36
  Team Maria Team. Maria, all right.
• 32:40
  Yeah. I was gonna say Team Maria.
• 32:44
  Also Lib Morgan and I had jacks on the same team.
• 32:49
  Woman's money in the bank is still active.
• 32:56
  And I think she's going to do it soon.
• 33:01
  Yeah, just match it the last 10 snap.
• 33:03
  If this is the main event, well, it's not going to be the main
• 33:06
  event, obviously. No, but if this is the first
• 33:08
  match, you know it's going to be the main event.
• 33:11
  Yeah. And this is the first match
• 33:12
  going in, I was like, I want to see a a possible cash in on one
• 33:16
  of them. Oh yeah.
• 33:19
  Like at least where the entire the show ends every day,
• 33:23
  everything's done. They you have your winners and
• 33:26
  then here come Tiffany goes outside, grabs her briefcase and
• 33:31
  says or under the ring. She hides it under the ring,
• 33:35
  hides into the head. And Liv Morgan, not Anaya Naya's
• 33:39
  like still. Around, No.
• 33:41
  Yeah. Or Naya Jacks, whichever doesn't
• 33:43
  matter. It's like it'd be well remember
• 33:45
  what she. Said she lost.
• 33:48
  She said that don't pissed her. Off exactly.
• 33:53
  That'd be a great thing. It's match Gunther VS Damien
• 33:57
  Priest for the World Heavy Championship at Summer Slam.
• 34:00
  Gunther defeated Damien Priest to win the World Heavy
• 34:02
  Championship. Three months later in November
• 34:04
  4th episode of Rob Priest won the fatal four way match to earn
• 34:07
  the rematch for a title which was confirmed for Survivor
• 34:10
  Series war games four months later.
• 34:14
  He finally gets a shot four months later.
• 34:17
  I mean, he was dealing with the he was dealing with Judgment Day
• 34:20
  and all, but I get it. So he's asking for his, you
• 34:24
  know, rematch clause now, which is fine.
• 34:29
  I dig it. I I I'm digging hunter with the
• 34:34
  belt right now. You know I am, but I don't know
• 34:41
  if they, they, they keep making it looks like he's getting weak.
• 34:48
  You know, even Damien said it. He's like, you've lost your edge
• 34:52
  and you know you can't beat me. So I mean, he talks a good game.
• 34:59
  So ever since I kind of want to see Damien.
• 35:02
  Wrote you kind. Of you kind.
• 35:08
  Of want to see Damien win the belt again.
• 35:09
  Yeah, yeah. Yeah, that'd.
• 35:11
  Be great. I liked it that'd.
• 35:12
  Be great to see him. I liked it, I say.
• 35:15
  Damien. Damien OK, I'm thinking that
• 35:19
  there still holds it holds on for it for like another few
• 35:22
  months. To WrestleMania.
• 35:27
  Yeah, to WrestleMania. OK, And finally, the men's War
• 35:34
  Games match. Roman Reigns, the USO J and
• 35:37
  Jimmy USO, Sami Zayn and CM Punk with Paul Heyman.
• 35:40
  Where's the Bloodline, Solo Sokola, Jacoba 2, Tama Tonga and
• 35:43
  Tongaloa and Bronson Reed? From 20/21 until 2023, Roman
• 35:49
  Reigns and his cousins De Usos led the Bloodline stable managed
• 35:53
  by Paul Heyman, holding both the Undisputed Universal
• 35:55
  Championship and Undisputed Tag Team Championship respectively
• 35:59
  until their losses at WrestleMania 39 and Exile
• 36:02
  respectively. Also during this time Sami Zayn
• 36:06
  join us an honorary member until January 2023 with the Usos
• 36:10
  younger brother Solo Sokola also joining.
• 36:14
  After an internal strife, the users left the group and emerge
• 36:17
  Victoria's during the Bloodline Civil War tacky match at 2023
• 36:20
  Money in the Bank. However the usual split up with
• 36:24
  Jay moving to Raw and Jimmy remaining on Smackdown.
• 36:27
  We joined the Bloodline but despite being on different
• 36:29
  brands this led to a match at Wrestle Mania for you where Jay
• 36:31
  defeated Jimmy. Reigns also lost in speed the
• 36:35
  Universal Championship to Cody Rose at the event in the months
• 36:39
  after Reigns defeat, so KOA assumed leadership of the
• 36:43
  Bloodline while exiling Jimmy Haman and Reigns and adding Tama
• 36:47
  Tonga, Tonga, Loa and Jacoba 2 Reigns return a Summer Slam
• 36:53
  beginning a rivalry with Sequoia while Jimmy returned that blood
• 36:56
  which led to a reading of Rains and the Usos at Crown Jewel.
• 37:00
  Rains and The Usos lost to Sekoa, Fatu and Tonga after
• 37:03
  interference from Loa, with Sekoa pitting rings.
• 37:06
  Following the match, Sekoa's Bloodline outnumbered rings and
• 37:08
  the Usual until Ross Zayn came out to save them.
• 37:12
  However, Zayn accidentally performed a hell of a kick on
• 37:15
  Reigns intended for Sekoa and the following Ross Zayn was
• 37:19
  confronted by The Usos, with Jimmy claiming Sami Zayn attack
• 37:23
  Reigns on purpose. Jade and urge Zayn to appear on
• 37:26
  that week Smackdown to make amends with Rain.
• 37:29
  On Smackdown, Zayn told Rain that the kick was an accident
• 37:33
  and stated it felt good to team with Reigns and users again.
• 37:35
  However, he would only reunite with them against the Cold
• 37:38
  Bloodline if Reigns apologized to Jay for his bast mistreatment
• 37:41
  of him, but Reigns refused. Later that night, Reigns
• 37:44
  confronted so-called his Bloodline with a call
• 37:46
  challenging Reigns the team of his choosing to a Warriors match
• 37:49
  at Survivors War Games, so-called that introduced Jane
• 37:51
  as a fifth member of a team. However, Zane attacks the cola
• 37:54
  with Reigns acknowledging saying officially reuniting the
• 37:57
  original iteration of the Bloodline.
• 37:59
  Reigns the use of the same. It was then announced that the
• 38:03
  original Bloodline would face the new Bloodline in the War
• 38:05
  Game matching event, but with a fifth member of each team to be
• 38:08
  determined. On the November 15th episode
• 38:10
  Smackdown, Sekoa's Bloodline recruited Bronson Reed from Raw,
• 38:14
  while the following week, Paul Heyman returned and revealed his
• 38:18
  old clients the Impunk from Raw as the original Bloodlines 5th
• 38:22
  member. On November 29th Episode
• 38:25
  Smackdown, Jay will face Phi 2 to determine which team will
• 38:30
  have the War Games advantage. Oh, that was a mouthful.
• 38:37
  And you didn't? Thank you.
• 38:40
  Thank you. Thank you.
• 38:40
  Appreciate that. All right.
• 38:43
  What do you think? You know who I'm going to say,
• 38:49
  but I don't like this parent at all.
• 38:52
  And you know what? Ballpark.
• 38:54
  Really, Ma'am. Ma'am, come on, come Trust,
• 39:00
  Trust, Trust and CM Punk. OK Trust and CM Punk.
• 39:04
  Paul Heyman is managed both of them at.
• 39:07
  Some point and he. LED them to become the old
• 39:10
  longest reigning champions of the modern era.
• 39:15
  So, you know, I trust in the fact that Paul Heyman is
• 39:18
  bringing CM Punk into Roman Reigns.
• 39:21
  But same time, when CM Punk left in 2013, he went on a podcast
• 39:32
  and bashed Roman Reigns and like, made it seem like, you
• 39:38
  know, they told him to make him look strong.
• 39:41
  They kept telling him to make the Roman Reigns look strong.
• 39:45
  So it like LED people to pitchforks and everything.
• 39:49
  Like we hate them. They're trying to feed them to
• 39:51
  us and everything. The lad led the charge.
• 39:55
  So it kind of is CM Punk's fault that people hated Roman Reigns
• 40:00
  because they wanted him to be the next guy.
• 40:03
  And, you know, and CM Puck was like, I guess I'll do it,
• 40:08
  whatever. So now coming back, it's not
• 40:13
  like watching them in the middle of the ring is like, Oh yeah, he
• 40:16
  did talk smack about him back in the day, huh?
• 40:20
  But it's been 10. Years even more reason why I
• 40:22
  don't like him. No, I'm just alright.
• 40:24
  I'm. Kidding.
• 40:25
  But it's been 10 years. It's been 10 years.
• 40:27
  So it's like, you know, maybe it's different now.
• 40:31
  And Roman has come to like, we love hero Roman.
• 40:36
  Like this whole thing where he's playing face.
• 40:38
  For now. For now, for now.
• 40:41
  Like we'll see Roman in a few. You know, I, I want Roman
• 40:50
  Bloodlines to win because I'm tired of it looking like he
• 40:56
  doesn't know what he's doing. You know what I mean?
• 41:00
  Like he can't fight or anything. I'm like, yes, I know.
• 41:04
  For almost four years he held, you know, the Universal
• 41:08
  Championship. And yes, I know every, you know,
• 41:12
  every time he was getting close to losing, there was
• 41:15
  interference. But I know that Roman Reigns is
• 41:18
  a really good wrestler and he doesn't necessarily need anybody
• 41:23
  to help him, you know, to win matches.
• 41:26
  But I don't like that the, you know, Bloodline 2.0, whatever
• 41:32
  you want to call him, is beating up on him.
• 41:35
  I'm like, I don't like this at all.
• 41:37
  I don't like. It you know, so I'm saying the
• 41:40
  OG bloodline and I want that shirt, so just saying.
• 41:47
  Me too. That's what I'm going with.
• 41:54
  And I hope that, you know, TM Punk, you know, can keep any
• 42:01
  differences that he has with anybody, you know, to, you know,
• 42:08
  keep it civil, you know, help the team out if you want to go
• 42:11
  after Roman after whatever. Help the team out, yeah.
• 42:16
  Yeah. And now we do.
• 42:19
  I want the shirt. I want the toy.
• 42:21
  As you all can tell. I have.
• 42:23
  I've been like collecting. I'm collecting Roman Reigns.
• 42:26
  I have a collection of John Cena's green and the 18 inch one
• 42:33
  and then red, probably red. No khaki pants, khaki pants,
• 42:42
  khakis. That's the no shirt what you
• 42:45
  have, right? That's the big, the 18 inch one.
• 42:49
  The other one is green, the other one is khaki pant.
• 42:53
  So the small ones. So yeah, like I'm, I'm
• 42:55
  collecting John Cena's and Roman Reigns, so.
• 42:58
  Did you see I? Want that new Roman rancher?
• 43:02
  The that they did like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle,
• 43:06
  like ODE, not ODE, but you know, like inspired ones.
• 43:11
  Inspired ones, OK. Yes, and I want Roman Reigns
• 43:16
  because he shredder. Oh wow, yeah, I'm have to go
• 43:22
  look at those. But you can only get it at
• 43:25
  Target, so. I'm gonna go on my I'm on my way
• 43:28
  to target right now. I'm on my way to target after
• 43:32
  this exactly. I know what I'm getting for
• 43:34
  Black Friday now. Yeah, exactly so.
• 43:38
  I'm waking up early in the morning on Friday.
• 43:40
  Go get me a Ninja Turtle. Roman Reigns.
• 43:45
  Yeah. Shredder.
• 43:46
  Roman Reigns. Yeah.
• 43:48
  Who doesn't love that? I'll have to look for it, see
• 43:50
  how much they cost. Yeah, 'cause it's him.
• 43:55
  So Roman Reigns is Shredder. Rey Mysterio, I think is
• 44:01
  supposed to be like Splinter and then Mysterio.
• 44:05
  Yeah, 'cause it's and then the. Dirty rat.
• 44:11
  Kofi and Xavier Woods are two of the turtles.
• 44:19
  They actually a couple, yeah, a couple months ago were when they
• 44:26
  fought, they were in what their action figures look like.
• 44:33
  I think it's like Rafael and Donatello.
• 44:36
  I think also, but I was like, oh, I like that.
• 44:42
  And then like Roman Reigns, Shredder, I was like, Oh well, I
• 44:44
  don't want those, then give me that.
• 44:48
  One OK, who do we have as a winner besides?
• 44:54
  I say. The winners of.
• 44:57
  Course I say Roman Reigns, Roman Team Roman so.
• 45:01
  Team Roman. Alright, Any surprises at this
• 45:08
  point? I don't see any surprises at
• 45:10
  all. You know what, I I hope this is
• 45:16
  what I was hoping that this the 5th member would be a mystery
• 45:23
  for the women and it was Charlie Flair.
• 45:26
  Charlotte Flair comes back. Oh.
• 45:30
  That'd be great hoping, but they put Bailey in there, you know,
• 45:36
  they put it online so. And since she helped out Bianca
• 45:40
  on Monday. Yeah, OK.
• 45:44
  That's. That'd be that'd.
• 45:45
  Be great. That would be awesome, yeah.
• 45:49
  Charlotte Flair already going after.
• 45:54
  Before we move on to that, did you see how beautiful the Ross
• 46:02
  Women's Inter College Championship it looks?
• 46:05
  Yes, I like it. I do.
• 46:08
  At first I was like, oh, that's ugly.
• 46:10
  And then I was like, wait a minute, it looks just like the
• 46:12
  males because I like the that they put the, you know, it's
• 46:16
  blue. Yeah.
• 46:18
  Is it the countries are blue or the water is blue.
• 46:21
  Anyway, they added, you know, blue to it and I'm like, oh,
• 46:25
  that's actually really pretty. Yeah, I looked at it again.
• 46:28
  So. I so like obviously they're,
• 46:33
  they're gonna add more women to the roster because of that.
• 46:36
  Yeah. So I'm all excited for them.
• 46:41
  They've added three, like they've added three belts now on
• 46:45
  the roster. NXT with with the Women's
• 46:51
  Intercontinental. Version.
• 46:53
  North American Championship, Smackdown, United States Women,
• 46:58
  United States Championship and then this one women's and around
• 47:02
  championship. So yeah, I better see a bunch of
• 47:05
  new, new matches going on in here.
• 47:09
  And I know how that they actually, you know, I hope they
• 47:14
  don't just, you know, give it to who's hiring, you know what I
• 47:18
  mean? I mean, make them work for it.
• 47:19
  They always say that you know, the women are, you know, the
• 47:23
  best in the division. Showcase them, not just the same
• 47:27
  old ones. Right, right.
• 47:30
  That's why I want to see more women for the tag teams.
• 47:35
  Yeah. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 47:38
  Even the speed championships, both of them men and women, get
• 47:43
  him in there. I'm so glad the the hardcore
• 47:45
  belt is gone. Or the 24/7 championship.
• 47:47
  I'm sorry the 24/7 Championship is gone because I was getting
• 47:50
  done with that. Yeah, I think it's kind of a
• 47:54
  dope. Yeah, it was kind of a joke.
• 47:58
  So we have Roman Reigns. OK, so let's back up.
• 48:05
  OK, Ellie Knight versus Shinsuke Nakamura.
• 48:09
  Ellie. Knight, I say.
• 48:10
  Ellie Knight, yeah. Groundbreaker Seamus versus
• 48:13
  Ludwig Kaiser. I say Sheamus.
• 48:17
  I say Brown Breaker retained Ria Ripley's team versus Judgment
• 48:25
  Day's team women's war games match.
• 48:28
  RIA Steam. Ria's team, with the added fact
• 48:32
  that it was Bianca Bel Air? No, maybe not, Maybe not.
• 48:37
  A team, Bianca. But you know.
• 48:39
  No, yeah, we don't. I don't want to find out that
• 48:42
  Bianca or anybody in the team did it yet.
• 48:45
  Like, give this a storyline a chance to like, you know, get in
• 48:50
  there as well. Tiffany Stratton cashes in.
• 48:55
  Hopefully Gunther was Damien Priest.

• 49:26
  2:00 PM Central, that's me, and noon Pacific, that's you.

  Central Central Time 5. Three and then.
• 49:56
  Three 3:00 your time. I guess I was wrong.
• 49:59
  Geez, where did they read this part at?
• 50:02
  Somebody gave me the wrong. Think you were.
• 50:04
  I think you were looking at the three.
• 50:07
  Last year. On the poster.
• 50:12
  Yeah, I was looking at last year's no.
• 50:15
  Oh, was it last year? 'S No, I don't know what I was
• 50:18
  looking at. Because on the poster and even
• 50:21
  it says 6 Eastern, 3 Pacific. So maybe you saw the three
• 50:25
  instead of the six first. So you're thinking that it would
• 50:29
  be two your time, then noon my time.
• 50:32
  But they're on the West Coast, so I don't know why it has to be
• 50:37
  at six. And I'm so mad.

  I can go. Hey I.
• 50:47
  Love that. Hey, it's Evo.

  Well, you can watch it again if you can.
• 53:03
  Like anything else that happened over the week Monday, well, next
• 53:09
  Monday is the 10 year anniversary of the new day and
• 53:15
  Oh my God. They're coming in.
• 53:18
  With lots of drama, which finally spilled over after
• 53:23
  years, 10 years of just going off on each other.
• 53:28
  They they went off on each other.
• 53:32
  Xavier yelled at it felt it felt like, I don't know, felt like
• 53:37
  mom and dad yelling at each other for some reason and just
• 53:42
  like verbal abuse between all both of them, just like wow.
• 53:46
  And then bringing up E and I'm like don't bring up big E.
• 53:50
  Please don't. Don't do.
• 53:52
  That don't be. There, he's supposed to be
• 53:54
  there, but still. The fact that Xavier lost the
• 54:00
  belt in six seconds to Brock Lesnar when it premiered on Fox.
• 54:06
  The fact that Xavier lost the crown to Roman Reigns, just, you
• 54:12
  know, all that stuff. The fact that Xavier is the only
• 54:15
  one that hasn't held the World Heavyweight Championship or any
• 54:18
  belt. And Kofi just went in on him
• 54:21
  saying that you're not, you're not good enough.
• 54:24
  I'm like, who are we going to make the heel here?
• 54:28
  Xavier? I can see Xavier as a heel, but
• 54:30
  you're telling, you're giving lines like that to Kofi and it's
• 54:35
  like he's delivering them and he's telling Xavier you're not
• 54:38
  good enough. That's a heel move.
• 54:41
  Yeah, it is. So when?
• 54:44
  So before Kofi was in The New Day, what was he?
• 54:48
  Was he a face or was he a heel? There he was, Jamaican,
• 54:53
  Jamaican, me crazy. He was like the Jamaican,
• 54:56
  Jamaican, me crazy. CM Punk left at the time when he
• 55:02
  had when when Kofi Kingston had the Jamaican accent.
• 55:07
  OK. And.
• 55:07
  Then he comes back when XTM Punk came back and then Kofi and kind
• 55:12
  of like said hey, brother was going, hey, you're making me
• 55:14
  crazy. And Kofi's like, oh, we don't do
• 55:16
  that anymore. Oh, OK.
• 55:20
  We don't do the accent anymore, so that was the most hilarious
• 55:23
  thing ever. But they've done a skit where
• 55:27
  Kofi goes reverse back to Jamaican accents like boom boom,
• 55:30
  hey, you know all that stuff. But before that, before he was
• 55:36
  in the New Day, he would come out and do some trouble in
• 55:40
  Paradise kids and, you know, Jamaica stuff.
• 55:44
  And he was like, have an accident and then he lost it.
• 55:47
  And like, it was just viruses one year where Triple H like,
• 55:51
  hey, what happened to your accent and everybody?
• 55:55
  Just. Staring at them and he's all
• 55:56
  like, like what? Yeah, like, I saw that, like on
• 56:02
  a, you know, clip. Yeah, but I didn't know if he
• 56:05
  was, you know, a face or he was a heel.
• 56:09
  He never been a heel. He's been the ultimate face.
• 56:12
  We've been loved. And like when he joined A New
• 56:16
  Day and everybody saw it was going to be like a a face table.
• 56:21
  Instead, everybody booted because they didn't like the
• 56:23
  stable. But he just thought he was a
• 56:25
  face. So that whole reason why The New
• 56:27
  Day was there and they boot him. OK, we're going to act like
• 56:30
  heels then. And they did.
• 56:32
  I'm like, I've never seen Kofi Kingston be a heel, but he's
• 56:39
  rounding himself with two heels, Biggie and Xavier, who can like
• 56:44
  turn heels as well. So here is like telling Xavier,
• 56:51
  you'll never amount to anything. I'm just like.
• 56:56
  They better turn. They better turn Kofi to.
• 56:59
  Heel and Xavier the face. Yeah.
• 57:01
  'Cause I want to see him, I want to see him with the belt soon.
• 57:07
  They said a lot of things to each other and I'm like, Oh my
• 57:10
  God, this is horrible. It's like watching Couple.
• 57:14
  Bite, I'm like, why, why are why do they have to do this?
• 57:20
  Why can't they just leave them the way they were?
• 57:24
  You know, because why wait until they've been 10 years together?
• 57:28
  You know what I mean? But.
• 57:32
  It. Feels like I haven't really
• 57:33
  seen, yeah, I've not, I haven't really seen Xavier like, Shine
• 57:39
  as a singles star. Right.
• 57:42
  Yeah. I mean, you know, like I want to
• 57:46
  see them shine. Yeah.
• 57:50
  And then, you know, later down the the way they can reunite,
• 57:54
  you know, if you break them up, they should have broke them up
• 57:58
  months ago when Carrion Cross was trying to, you know, recruit
• 58:03
  and you know, make savior wits so.
• 58:08
  And then reunite them on the 10 year anniversary show.
• 58:12
  That feels so much better, all right.
• 58:19
  Earlier today, though, he posted the video on YouTube and it had
• 58:22
  a bunch of wrestlers fan casting their Survivor Service Dream
• 58:25
  team. Dominic chose himself, Eddie
• 58:28
  Guerrero, Shawn Michaels, Ricky Steamboat and Razor Ramon.
• 58:33
  OK, dirty, Dirty guys. Dirty.
• 58:38
  Yeah, dirty machismo guys. I love it.
• 58:39
  Except for Ricky Steamboat. I don't know why he's in there.
• 58:45
  Braun Breaker chose his family, the Steiner brothers, his uncle
• 58:48
  Scott and his father, Rick and Doom, Ron Simmons and Butch
• 58:52
  Reed. His reasoning is all Division
• 58:56
  One, all American football players on the same team, all
• 59:00
  five of them. Rey Mysterio went over the top
• 59:05
  Bret Hart for technicality wrestling, the largest wrestler
• 59:08
  since he's the smallest. Onto the giant Batista because
• 59:11
  that's his boy and his son, His son 30 Dom because he figured
• 59:17
  Dom would take the fall if anything were ever happened.
• 59:25
  Jimmy USO chose his family, yokozuna Umaga and the wild
• 59:28
  Samoans to name them the Samoan swat team Two point O OK, our
• 59:34
  truth went with nostalgia. He chose his childhood favorite
• 59:37
  wrestler, John Cena, the Rock, Roman Reigns and the Usos.
• 59:44
  So he chose 55 members on his own team.
• 59:47
  That's 6. So he said I'll manage them.
• 59:54
  I it's fine and he's going to call them.
• 59:57
  He's going to call the team justice because at the end of
• 1:00:00
  the day is just us. I honestly thought he was gonna
• 1:00:12
  pick Dom and Nick, but you know. Dominique, Dominique.
• 1:00:17
  But like AS2 separate people, it's like I'm gonna go with Tom
• 1:00:21
  and Nick, but it's like, alright, never mind them DIY
• 1:00:25
  Tommaso Champa and Johnny Aregano did their separate James
• 1:00:28
  in draft mode. Johnny chose Triple H, Champa
• 1:00:32
  chose Ludwig Burga, and when he chose Ludwig Burger, I thought,
• 1:00:37
  oh man, that's old school right there.
• 1:00:39
  I'm like, hell yeah. But then like he would end up
• 1:00:45
  messing up his ankle and quit. You don't get it.
• 1:00:50
  You don't get it. But but Ludwig Burger was a
• 1:00:57
  great asset to WWF at the time he feed it with Tatanka who had
• 1:01:03
  the the undefeated streak. He beat Tatanka and caused him
• 1:01:11
  to lose that to caused him to lose to like undefeated streak.
• 1:01:15
  Perfect undefeated streak caused him to lose 2 weeks later after
• 1:01:20
  the Royal Rumble 1990 three 1994 around there he sprained his
• 1:01:28
  ankle and he quit. He retired from wrestling.
• 1:01:35
  We did all this for you so you could do the.
• 1:01:38
  Whole I don't remember him. That was why, unfortunately, I
• 1:01:43
  do. He's from.
• 1:01:45
  Helsinki, Helsinki, Finland. But he was the most you could
• 1:01:50
  totally tell he was going to be the most the the greatest heel
• 1:01:54
  ever. He defeated almost everybody.
• 1:01:58
  He went toe to toe against Undertaker at the time he took
• 1:02:01
  out the Tonka. He beat the Tonka clean.
• 1:02:04
  Well, I don't even know if it was clean at all.
• 1:02:06
  I don't I gotta watch that match again.
• 1:02:10
  Pinned him with one freaking finger.
• 1:02:14
  With one finger. He did.
• 1:02:16
  He just did the whole pin right there with one finger and then
• 1:02:20
  he comes out that like, I'm retired because I break my
• 1:02:24
  ankle. I'm like dude you just ruined
• 1:02:28
  that whole Tatanka saying. For nothing?
• 1:02:31
  Yeah. Wow.
• 1:02:33
  And it pissed everybody off because Tatanka was undefeated
• 1:02:39
  for like 2 years, three years, says he debuted.
• 1:02:42
  And it's like, oh, that's so wrong.
• 1:02:46
  But that that was that was an old stuff thing going on there.
• 1:02:50
  OK, So Johnny chose Triple H PUD chose Lupervorga.
• 1:02:55
  Johnny then went again and chose the second person to TX, Shawn
• 1:02:58
  Michaels, followed by the final boss, The Rock, The Undertaker
• 1:03:02
  and Stone coast to Austin. So Johnny's choices are like
• 1:03:06
  attitude eras guys. Champa went ahead and got big
• 1:03:11
  tugboat. Yeah.
• 1:03:15
  Typhoon and then he went bam bam Bigelow Sean Waldman as the 123
• 1:03:22
  kid not. Xbox, OK.
• 1:03:25
  Not Xbox 123 kid, but either way, he said.
• 1:03:31
  I was like I we're going to get the X in there, might as well,
• 1:03:34
  but he's going to be a 123 kid. He's going to wear those colors
• 1:03:37
  and if he doesn't like it, too bad.
• 1:03:39
  We'll see how it goes. Like damn, dude, OK, And then to
• 1:03:46
  round off the team, he got the biggie Uganda giant Kamala and
• 1:03:51
  I'm like not bad team. Shawn Mike, Triple H, Shawn
• 1:03:57
  Michaels, The Rock I Thinker is Uncle Steve Austin versus
• 1:04:02
  Typhoon Bam Bam Bigelow, 123 kid and Kamala.
• 1:04:10
  Someone's going to beat up the kid.
• 1:04:15
  Yeah. So what's going to be up Xbox
• 1:04:17
