Drew McIntyre's RECEIPT To Reigns And CM Punk | WWE Smackdown 2/6/26 Review · Solomonster Sounds Off

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Tonight was the first SmackDown coming out of the Royal Rumble.
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: We are now officially on the road to the elimination chamber.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: First SmackDown coming off that tremendous closing segment that we
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: had on Monday night with Roman Reigns and CM Punk,
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: which left Drew McIntyre reeling because they basically ganged up
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: on him. Boy did they bury him six feet beneath
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: the earth. So the number one goal coming into tonight's
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: show had to be Drew McIntyre giving some sort of
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: receipt for what happened on Monday. I don't know if
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: he was going to be able to top what we
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: saw on Monday night, but he at least had to
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: address it, because if you send him out there and
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: don't give him time with a live mic to address
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: what was said about him, it would have made him
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: look like just the biggest fool. And he did get
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: some mic time tonight. He did speak to what Roman
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: Reigns and CM Punk had to say about him on Monday.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: And look, it wasn't the segment that we had on
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: Raw and I wouldn't say there were any real stiff
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: burns in the way that you know, those guys were
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: a lobbing bombs on Monday night. It was nothing like that,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: But I thought what he said tonight, it was more
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: about reinforcing the legacy of the title that he currently
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: holds and pointing out the legacy and the importance and
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: the value in that championship, the history of that championship,
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: and basically saying, how the rest of the SmackDown roster,
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: you know, they saw and heard what happened on Monday night.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: It should be lighting a fire under their ass right now.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: He was basically trying to be the face the cheerleader
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: of SmackDown. Realistically, there's nothing that Drew McIntyre can do
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: or say that or really a match that they can
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: make for WrestleMania that is going to be bigger than
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: the one that they already made official on Monday night.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: We already know what the main event, the big main
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: event they're going to push this year for WrestleMania is
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: it's Roman Reigns and Cmpunk. I don't see any combination
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: of Superstar that does any match that they could put
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: together for the WWE title that is going to be
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: bigger than what we saw on Monday. So to that
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: extent I thought. He came out, he addressed it, he
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: said what had to be said, but there was no
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: way he was going to be able to talk what
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: Roman Impunk did on Monday. But he only got the
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: words out in his promo after being attacked twice on
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: this show. It took him a few times before he
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: finally had the chance to go out there and say
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: what needed to be said. First, he gets jumped by
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: Cody Cody Raheem Roads. It's the best part of the
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: entire show, Cody Raheem Roads. And then later on Jacob
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: Fatu also jumped him. Both men were basically sent away
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: out of the building so Drew could finally cut his
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: promo later in the show, Cody Raheem Roads. We had
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: our first Elimination Chamber qualifying matches tonight as well. We
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: had one for the women. We had one for the men.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: Randy Orton and Tiffany Stratton. They are going to the
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: Elimination Chamber and their respect not the same match, that
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: would be different, but they are going to their respective
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: matches at the Chamber so that we know, and there
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: is a match, a qualifying match that they have made
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: official for next week's show. That is actually pretty damn big,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: and it's pretty damn surprising considering the names that are
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: in it. If the idea is that only one of
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: them can move on to the chamber and the other
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: two are shit out of luck. Kind of surprised that
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: they're putting all three of these guys in the same
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: match together next week. And I'll tell you what that
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: is a little bit later on, but it is a
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: big match. Speaking of Big Obafemi, we saw him on
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Monday night. He made short work of the war Raiders
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: Viking Raiders. What are they called? I think they're the
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: war Raiders. Why do I still think they're called the
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: Viking Raiders? Why does it even matter? I mean, I
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: don't even know if they'll have a job in a
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: few weeks the way they were treated on Monday, he
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: made short work of them that I don't think that
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: was a official match. Tonight, he had an official match
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: on SmackDown. It didn't go very long. It was him
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: and Kit Wilson Boy, you know Kit Wilson man. It
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: was close. He had him on the ropes. He was
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: this close from pulling out the win over Obafemi. He
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: didn't work out, though, Obafemi is still unsigned. He is
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: still being courted by both general managers. I'll tell you
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: one day. We did not see or hear about tonight,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: conspicuous by his absence, no Royce Keys. We saw the
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: debut of Powerhouse Hobbs at the Royal Rumble. I do
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: think that ultimately he will land on SmackDown. He was
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: nowhere to be found on the show tonight, so it
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: remains to be seen if he's even going to be
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: on the main roster. They could still potentially start him
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: out in n X State. It's still possible. I think
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: that would be a mistake. But yeah, he was noticeably
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: absent from tonight's show. I thought on the whole, you know,
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: it was a solid show overall. It definitely dragged in part.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: I mean, there was a Shinsky Nakamura Tamatonga match that
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: oh my god. There was also a qualifying match on
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: the women's side, the one that Tiffany qualified in that
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: was not that great. Not that great, But the rest
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: of the wrestling on the show is at least decent.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: I thought they at least push things forward as far
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: as the elimination chamber, we got a few a couple
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: of good promo segments. So again it was solid on
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: the whole. One big difference. Hot crowd in Charlotte, not
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: so much in Philadelphia on Monday. Hot crowd tonight in Charlotte.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: That does make a difference. This is your Friday Night
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: SmackDown review here as we close out another week. It
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: is Friday night, February sixth, twenty twenty six. I am
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: the solemn Oster. Thank you for hanging out with me.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: Like and subscribe super chats are open. I will be
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: reading your messages a little bit later on, and we
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: are going to find out right now how many likes
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: we need to hit the goal for our or be
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: the booker segment. So let's find out. I'm not gonna
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: waste any time here. Take this bad boy for spin.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: How many likes do we need? Four fifty? So that
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: is the magic number, four hundred and fifty likes. If
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: we hit that number during the stream, we will do
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: be the booker later on. So get those likes up.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: Let's get right into this here because the show tonight
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: open with the WWE champion Drew McIntyre out to the
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: ring first after his win over Sammy z Ain at
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: the Royal Rumble, a mostly one sided win. Again, I
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: look back on that title match in Riod and honestly,
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: I did not come away from that match with some
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: great burning desire to see Sammy's Ain get another opportunity
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: at the WWE title. It's gonna take some work, I think,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: to at least get this guy excited to see that
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: match again, because Drew beat him. I mean it was,
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: you know, a pretty good drubbing, and it was not
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: a terribly exciting match that really didn't have a lot
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: of heat. Drew one and now it's time to move on.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: And Drew, of course, was smug as can be as
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: he was making his way out. Not only did he
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: beat Sammy's A at the Royal Rumble, he had a
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: hand in eliminating Cody Rhodes from the Royal Rumble match.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: So again he was looking quite smug, which ended up
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: being his downfall because as he was making his way out,
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: he got jumped by very angry Cody Rhodes during his
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: entrance and he beat him up around ringside until Drew
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: ran away. Officials poured out to keep Cody from him,
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: so Cody got into the ring and he took his
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: jacket off whatever it was he was wearing. He got
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: a microphone. He was all fired up, as he should be.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: I mean, look at what happened to him at the
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: Royal Rumble. I'd be fucking pissed. I would be a
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: reckon shop left and right if I were Cody Roads.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: So this is the Cody I was hoping to see
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: here on this show. Gets on the mic, he goes, yeah,
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: things will never be the same again. He goes for
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: the first time, he can't wait or he can't point
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: rather to the WrestleMania's sign. Speaking of that sign, he
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: watched them Punk and Roman reigns not just declare their
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: hatred for each other, but declare their championship match. And
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: he was excited. But why, when this amazing moment is over,
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: is his name the first name that comes out of
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: their mouth. It's simple. It's because people know what WrestleMania
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: means to him and what he means to wrestle Mania.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: But he heard it was gonna be a you know
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: what measuring contest? Couldn't say the words here, it was
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: going to be a you know what measuring contest. Well,
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: they're both glad this was great. They're both glad that
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: he's not in it because he didn't get at the
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: nickname Raheem for no reason. And I'm like, whoa, Okay,
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: now we've jumped from social media to television. Here Cody
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: Raheem roads and this got a Let me tell you
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: the pop that this line got. If you don't think
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: people didn't know what he was talking about, this got
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: one of the biggest pops of the entire show. So
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: the crowd went wild for that line, and he goes,
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: what do you want to talk about? Charlotte, North Carolina? Goesa.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: He was born in this city, right down the street
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: Presbyterian Hospital, So imagine his shame when he returned to
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: the city that the story's first page was written on
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: empty handed. Drew McIntyre wasn't mad that he was WWE champion.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: He was mad that Cody was. So don't worry because
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: Cody's shaman discomfort, he says, becomes Drew's downfall. Drew McIntyre,
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: don't worry about a thing because you won't make it
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: to WrestleMania. That Raheem line, holy shit, holy shit, already
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: the line of the year in any wrestling promo. Right then,
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: I know it's only February, we still have a waste
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: to go, and we had that great segment that closesed
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: Raw on Monday night. Again there were bombs that they
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: were throwing at each other back and forth. That right there,
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: best line in a promo so far in twenty twenty six,
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: if you know, you know, and a great fire from
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: Cody here exactly what this needed to be after the
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: way he was eliminated from the Royal Rumble. It couldn't
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: be any other way. Can't come out with a smile
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: on your face going whoa, You can't come to the
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: ring with a smile on your face and go, Charlotte,
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: what do you want to talk about? Right? No, you're
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: this close to WrestleMania. You just got fucked out of
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: the Royal Rumble. You need to be pissed, you need
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: to be upset, you need to want to rip this
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: guy's head off his shoulders. So I like the way
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: that they started the show. I like the way they
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: started the show on Monday with bron Breaker the cold open,
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: because he also got screwed out of the Royal Rumble
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: and then it was all downhill from there, of course,
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: but they had the right idea with him coming out
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: and just being an absolute madman. So at least they
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: got that right now. After a break, Cody was in
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: the back with Nick all this. They were still trying
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: to calm him down and he was looking for Drew.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: But right now, there's one way to make that happen,
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: said all this, which is winning the Elimination Chamber and
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: you're qualifying match next week, and Cody agreed and he goes,
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: I'll see you next week in Dallas. So Cody is
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: going to be in an Elimination Chamber match next week, qualifier.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: I will tell you what that match is here in
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: a little bit, because it's a big one. After this,
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: we had Rhea Ripley and Eo Sky over from Raw
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: to defend their women's tag team titles against the number
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: one contenders, the Women's United States Champion Julia and Keana James.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: So Ripley and James, they started things off here. Julia
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: stepped in, but she didn't want to face Rhea. She
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: wanted EO and I said, yes, that's what I would
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: like to see. So Ria tagged Eo into the ring
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: and we got some Joshi action here. Early in this match,
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: Julia stomped at EO's head mocked her. Her taunt got
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: some heat for that. Sky Dodge had attempted a throw
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: by Julia hit her with a great shotgun dropkick. Keana
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: involved herself. She draped EO throat first over the top
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: rope and the heels got the heat on EO for
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: a little while. After that, Julia blasted EO with a
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: missile dropkick of her own. They were really milking the
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: potential hot tag here, and this is the formula now
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: that they generally follow in these Rear Ripley Eo skytag matches,
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: and it's great because it always works and people are
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: just dying to see Rhea Ripley make the hot tag
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: and when she does, they go crazy. So they were
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: really taking their time within him milking it here. She
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: finally got it. Ria cleaned house eod her. You know,
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: EO does this crazy dive out of the ring where
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: she'll dive through the ropes and her body is like
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: turning as she's flying, and I was worried, like she's
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: gonna either take a header into the floor or over
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: rotate or something. It's just so wild. So she did
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: it here to Julia outside the ring over by the
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: announced desk and she very nearly spiked herself right into
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: the ground, almost took that header that I talked about,
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: but she was okay, took out Julia with it back inside,
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: Keana escaped a riptide attempt Jesh powerbomb EO right on
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: top of Rhea, who was laid out on the mat.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: Julia and Keana they hit a combination of their signature move,
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: the four oh one k followed by the riveder Chi knee.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: Julia covered Rhea broke it up. Julia attempted a Northern
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: Lights bomb EO, though reversed it. Riea got the blind tag.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: She head budded Julia, she hit riptide and you know
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: what followed over the Moon's all an. EO Sky gets
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: the win to retain the titles for their team. This
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: was fun. This was fun. This was much improved from
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: the three way qualifying match Number one Contenders match whatever
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: you want to call it, that we had previously where
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: Julia and Keanu won the shot That was not so good.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: But this was a fun match. Look, it helped that
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: Ria and Eo are so over so of course when
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: they're out there, they're always getting a reaction. When Julie
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: is out there. As much as it pains me, she
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: gets no reaction, so it was nice to actually have
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: a crowd that was loud and invested and cared about
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: what they were seeing here. Surprising I will say that
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: they had Julia take the losing fall and not Keana,
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: given that Julia is the US champion. I don't know
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: what the significance of that might be, but looks as
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: fun as it is to watch Ria and Eo do
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: their thing together as a team, and as great as
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: they are as a team, still pulling for them to
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: drop those titles as soon as possible because we are
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: heading into WrestleMania. We are a little over two months away,
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: and to me, that show, as big as it is,
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: they need to be involved in something bigger. They need
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: to be involved in something better, even if it's against
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: each other. Got the Bellas are looming right there are
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: other teams that could be defending those tag team titles
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: against Nicki and Breathe does not need to be Rea Ineo,
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: so hopefully those belts will find their way around someone
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: else's waists very soon. But this ended up being the
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: best match on the show. I thought Iliya Dragonov was
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: backstage he was on his way out to the ring.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: He was in his robe and everything. He was gonna
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: accept the US title Open challenge, and he was interrupted
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: by the Miz, who claimed, too bad. I already talked
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: to Nick all this earlier, and I'm getting the shot tonight.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: So Carmel Ohayes showed up said that if you deserved
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: a shot, you don't. But since you went and made
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: the match, I'm not gonna give you a title shot.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: But if it's a match that you want, then it's
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: a match that you'll get. Mis told him non title
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: huh oh, you better not miss. And I'm just watching
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: this and I'm going, well, of course Mis does not
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: need a championship match because he does not deserve a
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: championship match. And do you know the last time that
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: the Miz one a match one a singles match on
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: TV was two years ago, almost to the day, two
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: years ago on Raw he beat JD McDonough. You would
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: have to go back two years to find a match
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: that this man won Open challenge or no open challenge.
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: He should not be getting a championship match on TV.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: Carmelo Hayes is one hundred percent right. So this was
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: non title between them, if you can believe it. For
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: as long as these two guys were together, right, they
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: were friends, they were partners, then they broke up. All
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: of this happened months ago. This was the first match
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: between them. We never got a singles match between Carmelo
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: Hayes and the Miz until tonight. Okay, at least it's fresh.
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: I feel like they've been teasing this for the longest time.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: We haven't gotten this, so now we're finally getting it.
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: Late in the match, Hayes connected with a La mistica
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: on Miz, which sent him out to the floor. Mis
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: rolled outside and Mellow He did a dive out over
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: the top rope, did not have the best landing. He
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: landed it look like right on his lower back and
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: he popped up and he was like, you know, and
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: even on commentary, I think Wade Barrett pointed the landing out,
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: but Mis took the brunt of it nonetheless, so he
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: put Mis back inside. He went up top. He came
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: off with a frog splash. May's got the knees up though,
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: and he got cradled only for two skull crushing finale
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: attemph was avoided. Mello got a super kick for a
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: two count. Miz hit a rebound power bomb, so he
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: bounced him off the top rope and then hit a
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: sitout power bomb for a near fall. Mis tried again
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: for a skull crushing finale, and it looked like at
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: first it looked like he got it. Mello actually rolled through.
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: This was smooth. He rolled right through the skull crushing
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: finale and then caught him with the first forty eight
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: and he won with it. He won with the codebreaker,
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: didn't even need to go up for the nothing, but net,
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's the Miz, so of course, so Carmelo
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: Hayes wins. I have to say, Uh, that was actually
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: pretty good, Actually a pretty good match. The finishing sequence
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: was very smooth, the way that Mellow rolled through, uh,
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: and then went from there. So I liked that. I
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: still cannot believe it took this long for us to
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: get this match, but at least now we got it
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: and they can get it out of the way. We
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: can move on to getting Dragonov and Hayes back in
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: the ring together yet again. It was great the first time,
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: or did it happen twice? Might have happened twice, actually,
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: so I'm looking forward to seeing two times, three times.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: What does the matter. It's a match I'm looking forward
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: to seeing again. Kathy Kelly interviewed Tiffany Stratton backstage and
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: asked how she plans to refocus on getting back her
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: women's championship after coming this close to winning the Women's
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: Royal Rumble. Tiffany said that her sights are set on
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: the elimination chamber. Chelsea Green and Alba Fire interrupted the
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: promo here. Chelsea was slated for a chamber qualifier later
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: in the show with Tiffany and Lash Legend. She said
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: that the only person in this company newsworthy was her
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: and Tiffany said that Chelsea's wrestle many of dreams would
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: be dead after tonight, well, especially if Michael Hayes gets
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: his way. Oho MG Solo liked him. It was a
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: good match. I'm giving the man his flowers. It was
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: a good match. He's just he's a fucking loser, that's all.
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: I'm just pointing out facts here. Tell me what I'm
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: telling lies. The man has not won a match on
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: TV in two years. But they had a good match.
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: I enjoyed it. We got a Wyat six video that
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: interrupted as Bo Dallas talked about Solo Soco was stealing
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: the lantern. My god, this fucking lantern. You know, I
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: think that what we should do. We should all everybody
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: watching this right now, we should all pitch in. I mean,
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: we could do a GoFundMe, or just doesn't even have
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: to be a gofund me. We'll all pitch in and
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: we're gonna buy Bo a new lantern. How's that sound?
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: Because I feel like if we buy him a new lantern,
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: we can move beyond this story. He won't have to
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: worry about the lantern that Solo took. I like that idea.
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: I'm willing to do that. We'll crowdfund it. Bo said
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: that Solo was scared of being left in the dark
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: all by himself, which is why he stole the lantern.
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: So he's afraid of the dark. Okay, So Solo Sokoa
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: needs a night light? Is that the Is that the
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: story here? Yes, we're gonna We're going to crowd fund
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: to get him a new lantern. Yes, a new battery
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: operated electric lantern. You got two bucks? Hey, look, every
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: every dollar counts. Kyrie is still following Osca back to
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: the States. You know, I heard that Oska was forcing
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: Kyrie to walk back to the States all the way
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: from Saudi Arabia. So Kyrie is still in transit. She
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: has not returned yet, but she's on her way. I
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: don't know if she'll be back stateside on American soil
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: and time for Raw this Monday. But from what I understand,
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: Kyrie is still walking anyway. You you don't need me
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: to finish this off. It was the video was what
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: it was. He wants his lantern. He's very upset. But
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: we didn't have to wait very long for that women's
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: Elimination Chamber triple Threat qualifier because we had Tiffany Stratton,
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: we had Lash Legend, and we had Chelsea Green. Legend
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: had a very good Royal Rumble this year. I pointed
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: that out when I did my review. I was live
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: with all of you, and I said, they gave her
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: the monster spot, which is what I figured she would
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: be the one to get it this year. In that match,
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: she had five eliminations, more than anybody else in that match,
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: and some big names were among those eliminations. Charlotte Flair,
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: who was in the Rumble for like an hour. She
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: was number one. She eliminated Charlotte. She eliminated Jordan Grace,
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: Yo Sky, the Bella Twins who especially Breeze, super Over
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: and Saudi. So it was a good night for lash Legend.
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: Last Saturday tonight was not a great night for lash Legend.
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: She did not look very good here in this match.
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: She looked lost a few different times. There were some
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: rough spots and not just her, Tiffany Stratton too. Both
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: of them just not great, and Chelsea Chelsea Green was
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: the one who was the most over here in Charlotte tonight.
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: Charlotte was not on the show in Charlotte by the way,
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: Charlotte or Alexa and neither of them were on the
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: show tonight. But Chelsea Green was actually getting chance of
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: Chelsea during this match, like the fans really wanted her
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: to win this match. Michael Hayes must have been thrown
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: furniture backstage. He must have been so upset. Why aren't
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: they chanting Tiffy Tiffy. They're chanting Chelsea Chelsea. Actually, I
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: wouldn't surprise me if he was in the back saying
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: what are they chanting? Oh, don't worry, they're chanting Tiffy Tiffy.
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: Boo Earns Boo earns fucking idiot. So after a commercial break,
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: Lash lifted Tiffany over her head slammed her onto a
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: prone Chelsea before splashing both women. She could not get
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: the win off of this. Stratton caught Legend with a
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: rough dropkick that she reversed an unpretty her attempt from
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: Chelsea off the top, Stratton hit Green with a superplex
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: she rolled through into a urinagi. Legend broke up the
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: pen and tried for her LASH extension finish. I don't
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: know what happened here. She didn't get the Lash extension,
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: but as she and Tiffany were kind of jockeying for
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: position here, I don't know what the fuck was. I
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: don't know what this was. It just looked like the
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: two of them weren't on the same page. Legend hit
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: Stratton with a buckle bomb followed by a choke slam
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: for a near fall that looked good at least. Meanwhile,
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: Chelsea jumped from the top and she was in one corner.
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: The other two women were down in the other corner,
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: but not in the corner, but they were sort of
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: down leaning back against the bottom rope, and Chelsea comes
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: in with a coast to coast and she kicks I
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: think it was Lash into Tiffany, and then Tiffany rolled outside,
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: so Chelsea covered Lash, and then Nya Jacks, who was outside,
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: pulled Chelsea out of the ring. And now Nya Jacks,
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: of course trying to save the match for her partner.
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: Here Grad is booing, we got a scuffle here. I
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: can't even call it a scuffle really, I mean, Alba
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: Fire confronted Naya, she got knocked down. Alba Fire now
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: is just she's a total non factor. I mean, at
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: one time, this woman was a dominant force in nxt
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: UK nxt UK Women's Champion, I think for a long time,
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: and I don't even know who this woman is. Now,
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: I don't even know who this person is. She's just
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: a punchline on the show. But she gets knocked down
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: here by Naya Jacks. Things broke down Chelsea and Tiffany.
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: They heaved Lash over the timekeeper's barricade. Back inside, Chelsea
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: attempted and unpretty her. It got reversed by Tiffany, who
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: finished her off with the prettiest moon salt ever. And
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: so Tiffany Stratton becomes the first person male or female
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: I believe to qualify for an elimination chamber match she
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: is officially in. This was not good. I did not
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: think this match was very good. And they did share,
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: they did cheer rather for Tiffany's win at the end.
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: It's not like they were booing Tiffany. They just really
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: were into Chelsea. And I think had Chelsea pulled off
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: the win, and I wasn't expecting her to, but if
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: she would have pulled off the wind, it would have
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: got a huge reaction because this was a very pro
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: Chelsea Green crowd here in Charlotte. And the only question
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: is are the right people listening. I don't know, are
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: they listening? You would think they would pay attention and
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: we'll see what happens next week in a different city,
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: and then after that and after that. But you know,
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: if there are fans out there who really like Chelsea
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: and they want to see her doing more than what
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: they have her doing, the best way to do that
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: is to use your voice, you know. I mean, is
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: it just an internet thing or are there fans who
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: go to these shows who genuinely like Chelsea Green and
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: want to see her succeed and do more on the show.
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: That's the question, but the best way to get their
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: attention is going to be at the buildings using your voice.
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: We'll see if these reactions continue. I'd love to see it,
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: even though some people obviously wouldn't. I'd love to see it.
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: In the back, Kathy Kelly was talking with Randy Orton.
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: Randy was not happy about the Royal Rumble, but now
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: he's focused on entering his tenth Elimination Chamber match. That
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: experience will be to his advantage. And then here comes
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: Alistair Black and Zelena Black says that we just said
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: goodbye to two of the greatest ever, but were blessed
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: to still have Randy at least part of him. See
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: you out there. This, by the way, is what they
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: saved Alistair Black's return from because he flew all the
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: way to Saudi Arabia. He was supposed to be in
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: the Royal Rumble. They decided not to include him in
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: the Royal Rumble with the idea that we'd like to
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: just bring him back on SmackDown. Okay, flew all the
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: way out there not to work, but okay, this was
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: his big return, first appearance for him here since the
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: Ambulance match with Damian priest kit Wilson speaking of people
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: who flew all the way to Saudi and weren't used.
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: Kit Wilson was up next, made his way to the
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: ring and he got ready to teach us a lesson
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: in toxic masculinity, and he talked about being at the
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: Royal Rumble last week and how it disgusted him. Called
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: everyone in the rumble talk stated that they didn't want
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: him in the rumble because of what he represents? Is
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: that true? Was he shooting here? They didn't want him
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: in the Royal room? Who is this? They? So he
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: said they didn't want him in the rumble because of
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: what he represents. He called himself a man who moisturizes
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: and a man who listens. Do you hear that, ladies,
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: I too am a man who moisturizes and a man
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: who listens. I'm just saying. As well as a man
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: who moves his hips in a particular way. Well, let's
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: say that's not me. I don't do that. So he
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: started moving his hips. Wilson called the crowd toxic. He
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: challenged anyone who was in the rumble to come out
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: and face him right now to prove themselves. And you
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: can see people standing up in the background. I think
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: they kind of got a sense of who was coming
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: out here. If you saw Raw Monday Night and you
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: heard about the two general managers vying for his services,
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: you put two and two together, It's not hard to
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: guess who was coming out next. It was Oba Femi,
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: and Oba comes out and he got a great reaction
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: here from the crowd. There were chants of Oba, Oba
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: in the rhythm of Goldberg, assuming those weren't piped in
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: that way to try to get the crowd to start
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: doing it. Of course, I don't trust this company as
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: far as I could throw them, but yes, they were
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: chanting Oba's name in like the Goldberg style. We'll see
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: if that catches on. Wilson still had the mic though,
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: after Oba got in the ring and he yelled at
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: Femi before he was met with a very hard strike.
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: Unlike Raw Monday Night, we actually got a bell, so
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: this was an official match here. It didn't last very long.
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: Oba repeatedly hit him in the corner with running elbows
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: before putting an end to things with the fall from Grace,
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: and that was the end of kit Will's son here.
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: In this segment, another dominant showing here by Obafemi, and
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: that's what you do. You book him in a dominant way.
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: You have him come out and beat people in short order.
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: And hell, you could do the ride back thing where
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: you start setting up two on one, three on one.
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: Let him beat a whole bunch of people at once.
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: That's what you do to build credibility and make people
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: understand very quickly that this guy is a player, and
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: this guy is someone that you need to follow along
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: with here. This guy's going to be a big star.
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: Obafemi is the kind of guy. It would be extremely
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: hard to fuck this up. I've said that before, and
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: they're playing it very smart right now. I like the
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: idea that boldgms are fighting for his services. I do
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: think he probably ends up on Monday Night Raw. But
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: just keep doing what you're doing, is all I have
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: to say. I don't know if we are going to
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: get Obafemi in Brock Lesnar at Wrestle Media. It is
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: a match that makes sense. He's the confrontation at the
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: rumble without actually giving it to us. I think Brock
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: hit him with a German and then Oba maybe hit
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: him with a German. That was the extent to which
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: we had any physicality between the two of them, but
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: you could feel it in that crowd in Saudi, like
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: this was a match they really were waiting to see.
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: So you know, the interest is there. And as I
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: look ahead to the WrestleMania card, like, of course they're
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: gonna have Brock on the show, but what else would
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: he be doing? And then you got Oba. You're debuting
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: Oba so close to WrestleMania, it wouldn't make any sense
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: for him not to be on the WrestleMania card. Logically,
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: Obafemi should be wrestling brock Lesner. If Obafemi wrestles brock Lesner,
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: Obafemi beats brock Lesner, because if Obafemi is not beating Brocklesner,
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: then you do not do the match that would seem
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: to be the match that would make the most sense.
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: How they get there remains to be seen. I don't know,
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: because Brock doesn't just randomly show up on TV. Does
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: Oba keep running through people and then one day finally
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: takes the microphone and he just calls out Brock, or
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: maybe he just keeps extending challenge, I need some competition.
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: Where's the real competition? Right? And then Brock shows up
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: one week I'm curious to see how if that's the match,
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: how they set it up. But that is not a
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: match I would be doing unless Oba is winning. OBA
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: must keep winning. Damian Priest. He was in the back
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: with our Truth who never wins, and they were shown
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: watching Oba's destruction as Drew McIntyre rudely bumped into Truth
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: he was walking by and basically shoulder checked him. Priest
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: then got up in McIntyre's face and said, we've had
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: our problems, but it seems like you're in a situation
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: right now where you have your own problems to deal with,
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: So I'm not going to add to that. And with that,
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: McIntyre's music hit and he made his way back out
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: to the ring uninterrupted this time, although clearly looking a
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: little paranoid after what happened earlier in the evening. So
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: he got into the ring, he had a microphone, but
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: now he's attacked by a wild Samoan. He is attacked
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: by a wild Jacob Fatu and fat Tou beats him up.
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: He knocks him out of the ring. He knocks him
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: down with a suicide dive. Officials tried to stop fa Tu.
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: I'd say half of them got laid out and Fatu
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: ended up forcing MacIntyre to escape through the crowd. This
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: was the second time tonight that the WWE champion was
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: forced to flee. He was forced to run away. This
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: is coming off of him being buried by Cmpunk and
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: Roman Reigns on the microphone on Monday night, So you
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: could see why at the very least he had to
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: at least get a receipt in at some point during
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: the show for what happened on Monday. But to go
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: from that to him running away from Cody Rhods and
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: now running away from Jacob Fatu, it did not make
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: him look very strong. So after a commercial break in
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: the back, Nick all this is with Fatu, and as
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: he did earlier with Cody, told him to look, you're
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: gonna be in an Elimination Chamber qualifying match next week.
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: So if you want Drew McIntyre, the way to get
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: to him is to win your qualifying match and then
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: go on to win the Elimination Chamber. But that's next week.
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: And so with that, Fatu left and we didn't see
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: him again for the rest of the show. Now we
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: found out later in the show what that qualifying match
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: is going to be the Elimination Chamber triple threat next
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: week is going to be Cody Rhodes versus Jacob Fatu
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: versus Sammy's A. They're all going to be in the
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: same match, which is wild to me because only one
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: of them can go to the Elimination Chamber. Now, I
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: would assume that out of Cody and Jacob forgets Sammy.
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: Out of Cody and Jacob, whoever loses next week would
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: be the one to challenge Drew for the Championship at
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: the Eliminade Chamber because I would think Drew would be
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: defending the title on that show since it's not being
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: defended inside the Chamber. So that's just an assumption on
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: my part. If that's the case, more likely that Jacob
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: would be the one probably wrestling Drew at the Chamber
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: and they would have Cody win the Chamber and then
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: go to Manye because Cody's not going to be involved
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: in a match of WrestleMania this year that is not
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: for the WWE title. There's no way he's going to
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: be in that championship match one way or the other.
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: So I'm looking at this and I'm going, well, I
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: don't know if I like this very much because the
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: way things are looking right now, if Cody wins that
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: qualifier next week, he's in the chamber. Jacob, let's say,
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: gets the shot against Drew at the chamber. If Drew
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: beats him, and maybe he doesn't, maybe there's some sort
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: of disputed finish, there's still a way to get Jacob
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: in that match of WrestleMania, because again, I don't want
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: Cody and Drew one on one. You can't do Cody
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: and Drew one on one. We've already seen it so
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: many times. You have to at least add one person
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: to the match. Jacob is that guy. Jacob is the
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: one who makes the most sense, So there are ways
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: to get there. Now, there's another completely wild idea, which
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: is that Sammy z Ain shocks the world and wins
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: the match next week. When Drew McIntyre gets involved and
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: fucks over Cody and Jacob for fucking with him tonight,
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: he gets his revenge on them next week by costing
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: them their match, and Sammy backdoors his way into the
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: elimination chamber. But then, what the hell do you do
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: with Cody and Jacob at the chamber. Those are two
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: big names now that have been taken out of that match.
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: So all I'm saying is, I'm still expecting a Cody
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: win next week, but don't count out the possibility that
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: they could try to kind of swerve everybody and that
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: Sammy's ain may end up finding his way inside the chamber,
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: and then they would have to come up with an
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: interesting way to get Cody that championship. I you know, offhand,
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: I don't know how they would go about doing that,
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: but there's always Away, always away. I just but I
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: just feel like you should have Drew defending the title
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: on that show. We know Punk is going to be defending,
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: most likely on that show against Finn Balor. Why not
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: have the other championship defended. Why give Drew the night off.
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: I think they should both be defended on that show,
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: both belts. But again, I'm puzzled why you would put
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: all three of these men in there, unless there's some
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: big angle that they're going to be shooting there because
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: they need guys, you know, for the elimination chamber metch. Like,
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: I'm mapping this out of my head. If Cody wins, Okay,
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: Cody's in, Randy Orton is also in. I know, I'm
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: spoiler on the main event tonight. Randy Orton's in the
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: elimination chamber. So you have Cody and you have Randy,
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: and that makes sense both of them in the chamber.
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: Trick Williams is undoubtedly going to qualify and end up
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: in the chamber. We saw him in the main event.
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: He was sitting at ringside watching one of the qualifying matches. Cody, Randy, Trick.
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: You got three other spots. Okay, Now we're assuming Sammy
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: loses next week, he ain't in it. Jacob loses next week,
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: he ain't in it. Maybe he wrestles Drew. Who are
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: those other three? Damian Priest? They're gonna put Damian Priest
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: in there? Possibly? You know who I would love to
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: see qualify to be in the elimination chamber match, even
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: though I know he's not gonna win it. Ilia Dragon enough,
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: there's no reason he can't be in there. He may
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: not win, you may not give him much of a chance.
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: Put him in there. That's still only five, by the way,
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: you still need one more name. So if you're not
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: putting in fat two, if you're not putting in Sammy's, ay,
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: who is that sixth name? Who is number six in
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: that men's chamber match. Someone said, Royce Keys, very possible. Again,
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: we're looking at we're looking at this is SmackDown only.
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: Somebody said Javon. We're not looking at Javon, We're looking
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: at SmackDown Only. I do think that Hobbs ends up
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: on SmackDown, but it's just weird how there was no
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: mention of him. There was no sign of him tonight.
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: But yes, if he ends up in a qualifying match,
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: then absolutely, there you go. He could round out the field.
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: Kit Wilson, who said Kit Wilson, Who said? Who said that?
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: Alexander said, Kit Wilson. I don't know why people are
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: saying Javon. Do you not realize Javon is part of
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: Monday Night Row bro Oh, God, brock Oh, why did
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: you say that? Now? You see, brock Lesner would have
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: to wrestle on TV to qualify. So that's how I
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: know it will not be Brocklesner. That would require him
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: to wrestle on one of the weekly shows, which I
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: don't believe he's done since probably since he squashed Kofe
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: Kingston on that first Backdown on Fox. God, that was
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: seven years, seven years, My god, seven years ago. I'm
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: pretty sure that the only TV match Brocklesner has worked
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: in all the years that he has been back in
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: w W since twenty twelve were those eight seconds against
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: Kofi Kingston. Am I missing, am I missing any other match?
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: I know they've teased him wrestling, but I don't think
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: he's been in an official match on SmackDown or Raw
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: outside of that one. That is amazing, and it's hilarious
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: to me that you would think he would qualify for
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: anything anyway. Shinsky Nakamora against Tomatonga, who had Or Tangaloa
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: and J. C. Matteo ringside in his corner. Ten minutes
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: this went, it felt longer. Knackimoor A sent Toma scurrying
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: out of the ring. Late in the match, he took
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: Mateo out with a baseball slide, fell victim though to
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: a jumping DDT from Tama. When he got back in
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: the ring, Tama lifted Knackamara on his shoulders. Knackamora, though,
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: countered out into his side supplex, and then he delivered
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: a Mitchioku driver. Yes, the Cody tag team again, that
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: was but that doesn't count. Though that doesn't count. They
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: teased the match with Brock and Seth Rolins. Remember on
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: that raw after WrestleMania thirty one, which is where Seth
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: cashed in, So they tease the rematch there, which never happened.
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: And then after WrestleMania I guess it was three years ago.
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: Now it was going to be Cody and Brock as
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: a tag team right against the Bloodline, and it never happened.
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: Oba Femi in the chamber with Brock sabotaging him in
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: the chamber and setting up their match. Yeah, I mean,
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: I guess sabotaging him, And what are we gonna do
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: that the tired gimmick where somebody is eliminated. They opened
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: the door and Brock when the door opens, Broc just
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: jumps into the case, like, are we gonna do that
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: tired angle again? Or how else would Brock it into
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: the chamber? Why? Let me ask you a better question.
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: What would be brock Lesner's incentive to do that? Would
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: that not make more sense if they would have done
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: what I suggested, which is that you have Oba Femi
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: eliminate Brock Lesner from the Royal Rumble. Now Brock is pissed.
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: Now Brock has a reason to do something like that,
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: but you had brock Lesnar eliminate him. What the fuck
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: does brock Lesner give a shit if Obafemi is in
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: the elimination chamber, he dumped him out of the rumble.
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: That doesn't make any sense. Brock comes up through the floor. Okay,
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: now there's a lot of things brock Lesner is not doing.
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: Brock Lesner is not hiding under the ring and coming
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: up through the mat. You're putting in a lot more
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: effort than brock Lesner does in these in these ideas
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: you're coming up with. Anyway, Toma Tonka, let's get back
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: to this. I know we're all trying to distract from
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: talking about this Knakamura Tomatanga, but we must go on.
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: We must finish this. Knakamoura hit a Mitchiinoku driver for
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: a near fall as he had Tama in his sights
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: for the kinshasa J. C. Matteo distracted the referee just
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: long enough for Tongalo to grab the leg. Tama then recover.
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: I already hit is not so hidden blade. Then he
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: hit a proper one. This one was like kind of
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: I think, kind of like a low one. But then
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: he hit a proper one and he got the win.
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: This was a match. This was a boring match, but
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: it was a match with the usual MFT interference to
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: make it worse. Backstage, we had Phraxium and the MotorCity
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: machine guns. Holy shit, they live, they live. So they're
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: walking along backstage and Candice Lay approaches them and says,
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: come over here, and she said, look at what happened
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: to Johnny. And we see Johnny Gargano. He is nearby.
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: He's lying face down on top of a box that
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: has marked NXT. She talked about what Axiom did to
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: Gargano after he beat him last week and how important
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: that mask was that you took back from him. The
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: mask is so important to him that you took away.
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: But they said that you're not going to get any
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: sympathy from us. I want you to imagine. I don't
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: know where Garganto and Kandas are currently residing. I don't
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: know if they're living in Florida. I don't know if
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: they're living in Cleveland. I think they might be in Cleveland.
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: But wherever they are, they were in Charlotte, North Carolina tonight,
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: so they had to fly. Imagine flying all the way
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: to work and you get there and you find out, Okay, boss,
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: what am I doing tonight? And your job, after flying
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: all the way in here is to lay face down
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: on top of a box for two minutes and say nothing.
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: I don't even think he blinked. He looked catatonic as
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: he was laying there. And that's it. That's all he
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: did on this show. That was his only unless he
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: wrestled on main event or something, that was his only
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: task tonight. I mean, look, I guess it's not bad
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: work if you can get it. I think the I
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: think the lowest like minimum main roster WWE salary these
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: days is said to be three hundred and fifty thousand
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: dollars a year. I don't know if Johnny Gargana was
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: making the minimum. Maybe he's making a little bit more
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: than that. He's been around for a while. But let's
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: say he's making three fifties, clearing three fifty k a
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: year to fly into work and lay on top of
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: a box. I mean, look, I guess it's not bad
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: work if you can get it elsewhere. Rhea Ripley and EO.
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: Sky they were interviewed about their win earlier tonight, when
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: they were interrupted by Naya Jacks, and Lash Legend. This
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: ended with Naya saying, you know what, I'm going to
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: go talk to Nick all this and I'm going to
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: get our tag team championship match that we are owed.
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: And she did get it because they announced later on
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: that match is going to be taking place on SmackDown
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: next week. But as they went off live, Morgan and
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: Raquel Rodriguez showed up all the way from the Wonderful
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: World of Monday Night Raw. We technically now had four
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: Raw women that were on the screen here on SmackDown,
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: and they passed by Rhea and Eo on their way
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: out to the ring. But first you go backstage and
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: we see kit will Soon licking his wounds after what
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: happened with Obafemi earlier. And he's walking in the back
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: and he runs into Matt Cardona and oh my god,
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: it's Apollo. Cruise said, no one ever except me. I
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: couldn't believe my eyes. They pried him away from catering
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: long enough to make it appearance here on TV. I mean,
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: the chicken breast is not going to eat itself. He
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: had to leave the chicken breast on the table to
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: come be a part of this segment and he didn't
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: really do much, but he was there. I can't remember
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: the last time we saw him unsmacked. Then he's been
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: pulling main event duties since he came back from the
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: torn Peck. But there they are. Kit Wilson blames Cardona
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: for all of his problems. He calls him toxic. Cardona says,
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: I'm always ready, and Wilson says, well, I have to
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: go take a bath, and off he goes. There's bad
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: news for Matt Cardona if they have him hanging out
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: with Apollo Cruise already part of the main event crew.
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: Not a good sign for Cardona. Now, Nick all this
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: was in the ring and he introduces Live Morgan along
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: with Roquel Rodriguez. Liv gets in the ring and she
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: calls herself the greatest Royal Rumble winner.
• 49:49
  Speaker 2: Of all time in the most annoying way possible.
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: So she continues putting herself over for a while before
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: eventually talking about how she can choose whichever champion she
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: wants to a WrestleMania. She might choose the Women's World
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: Champion Stephanie Vicuer. She might choose the WWE Women's Champion
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: Jade Cargill. Right, She's got a big decision to make,
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: so she says WrestleMania isn't the only thing on her mind,
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: and she wants to address something. But then Raquel Rodriguez
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: takes the microphone out of her hand, swipes it away,
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: says that she wants to address the elephant in the room.
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: But before anything can come of that, Jade Cargill heads
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: to the ring and I would like to point out
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: to all of you right now that we are two
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: days away from history. Do you realize this? In two days?
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: Jade Cargill, or as Joe Tessitur, calls her Jade Cargile.
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: I just laugh every time he says it that it's
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: like he says it like gargle. Every time he says it.
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: Go back and listen. Anytime he says the name Jade
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: Jade Cargill, he calls her Jade Cargle. I just fucking
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: laugh every time. But what I was gonna say is,
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: Jade Cargle is about to hit one hundred days as
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: the WWE Women's Champion without a single defense. One hundred
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: days is champion, not one defense. The good news is
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: we are about to finally get that first defense next week.
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: But I just thought I would point that out. Another
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: forty eight hours and history will be made. So Jay
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: doesn't care about Live winning the rumble. She warns Live
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: that if she chooses her, she'll beat her ass at WrestleMania.
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: And she looks over and she goes, oh, by the way,
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: what are you looking at? And she gets up in
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: Raquel's face. So Liv tries to laugh off, and she
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: warns Jade to watch what she says because she could
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: let Raquel humble her and then they could leave WrestleMania
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: both his champions together. So this brings out Jordan Gray,
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: This brings out Jordan Grace. I like that Jade Cargle.
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: I swear to God, go go back and listen anytime.
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: Judd Testatur says, that's exactly how he says it. Jade's
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: TBS title run is better than her WW of course
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: it is because she actually defended the title. Actually, her
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: last match in AW was her best match. That was
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: the match she had with Chris Statlander, better than anything
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: she's done in WWE so far. Jordan Grace shows up
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: with a microphone and her terribly generic music. So now
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: she and Stephanie viquaerre have something in common. So she
• 52:56
  Speaker 1: interrupts and congratulates Live on the Wind, but says that
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: if she could get Jade to actually defend her belt,
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: then Live might be facing her instead. So all this, thankfully,
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: he's hurt enough, and he reminds Liv Morgan what he
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: told her earlier, which is that if you are able
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: to come on the show and talk, then you are
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: able to come on the show and fight. And then
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: he does his best Teddy Long impersonation. He makes a
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: tag team atch playa. It's gonna be Jade Cargill and
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: Jordan Grace as tag team partners. Can they coexist taking
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: on Live Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez. This segment was a
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: waste of time. This segment, nothing of interest was said.
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: Liv did not make her decision. Her decision. I mean, basically,
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: if you watch Raw Monday night, her decision was already made.
• 53:43
  Speaker 1: They're gonna milk it a little while longer. She ain't
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: wrestling Jade Cargill or Jordan Grace at Wrestlemdia. She's wrestling
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: Stephanie Vicaire or Raquel or some combination of that. But
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: it's gonna be on the raw side. It's not gonna
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: be on the SmackDown side. This was one of those
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: segments that you do because you up three hours of
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: television time to kill you. Look, when you're watching the show,
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: you know when you get a segment like this where
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: nothing happens, nothing of any importance has said, or it
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: feels like they're stretching right, they're dragging things out. That's
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: what this was. So we got a match here was
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: joined already in progress. After a commercial break, Grace got
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: lifted by a backsupplex from Rodriguez, but she avoided a
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: diving bomb that followed. Morgan tagged in. She tried for
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: the three amigos. Grace countered the third amigo and delivered
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: a supplex of her own. Jordan flattened Morgan with a
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: series of lariots. She covered her. Raquel interrupted the count
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: as Grace sent Raquel out of the ring. Morgan attempted
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: an oblivion and Grace was able to block it. That's
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: when Jade accidentally hit Grace with a kick after Raquel
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: moved out of the way, and then Raquel did the
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: same and accidentally kicked live Morgan. When uh I believe
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: Jade moved out of the way so as Cargill and
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: Rodriguez were staring each other down. They were getting ready
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: for a fight. Grace shove Raquel into Jade, which knocked
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: the champion out of the ring, and that allowed Jordan
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: to roll up Raquel for the win. At least they
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: gave Jordan the win. That was the right call. They're
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: still building to this first title defense between the two
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: of them. And also things got a little rockier between
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: Live Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez here. They're building the tension
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: here between the two of them. You know, at this rate,
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure if they'll make it to WrestleMania together
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: or if they're going to do the split before then.
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure. But about that, Jade and Jordan Madge,
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: they were arguing in the back later after a commercial
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: when Nick Alders showed up and he announced that Jade
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: is going to have to defend her title. Oh my god,
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: holy shit, it's really gonna happen next week, Jade Cargill
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: will finally defend her WWE championship against Jordan Grace. So
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: at least now we know. Elsewhere in the back, poor
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: Sammy's ain, Sammy's aint is walking around and he is
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: looking like a stockbroker after a market crash, and all
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: of these random backstage people are like walking by him. Hey, Sammy,
• 56:26
  Speaker 1: good match man, you'll get him next time. We got
• 56:29
  Speaker 1: a Ryan Ward cameo for those of you who watch Unreal.
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: Ryan Ward one of the head writers there, head members
• 56:37
  Speaker 1: of the Creative Team. He walked by and shouted some
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: words of encouragement to Sammy as well. So then Sammy
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: ran into Ray Phoenix, who consoled him after his rumble
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: loss called him an inspiration to me and others. They
• 56:53
  Speaker 1: were then interrupted by Trick Williams, who referred to himself
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: as the Michael Jordan to Sammy Charles Barkley, Sammy is
• 57:04
  Speaker 1: that guy who goes to the playoffs but always loses.
• 57:08
  Speaker 1: Phoenix told Williams that he had a big mouth and
• 57:11
  Speaker 1: he would shut him up if he kept it up,
• 57:13
  Speaker 1: and Tricks said that he would do it anytime any place.
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: They're doing that match next week. We already saw this match,
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: by the way. They did this match last month and
• 57:23
  Speaker 1: Williams won, so they're doing it again. After this, they
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: aired highlights from the Great Segment that closed Raw Monday
• 57:33
  Speaker 1: Night with CM Rains and or CM Rains CM Punk,
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: it's Friday night, the week is almost over. Leave me alone.
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: See I'm Punk and Roman reigns. It wasn't so awesome
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: though for Drew McIntyre, who caught some strays during that segment.
• 57:56
  Speaker 1: He was wounded during that segment, and I said, as
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: soon as was over, I said, Drew better get his
• 58:03
  Speaker 1: receipt come Friday night. Those comments, those insults, they cannot
• 58:07
  Speaker 1: go unanswered if you are the WWE champion. So McIntyre
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: showed up ringside and he stood on top of the
• 58:14
  Speaker 1: announced desk and he had a live mic in his hand.
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: So finally he was going to get the chance to
• 58:22
  Speaker 1: get something off his chest. He said, Cody Rhodes and
• 58:25
  Speaker 1: Jacob Fought too should be banned from the elimination Chamber
• 58:29
  Speaker 1: of Qualifiers for attacking him like cowards. So he calls
• 58:33
  Speaker 1: bs on that Samy's ain. He believed that he was
• 58:38
  Speaker 1: going to win the big One, but he crushed him.
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: It was broken dreams for him and that's what it's
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: going to be for anyone who gets in the ring
• 58:46
  Speaker 1: with Drew McIntyre. But he goes, let's talk about Monday night,
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: CM Punk and Roman Reigns. He heard what they had
• 58:56
  Speaker 1: to say, and frankly he was disappointed. And at this
• 58:59
  Speaker 1: point the crowd drowned them out with OTC chance, so
• 59:03
  Speaker 1: he let them get it out of their system. He goes,
• 59:07
  Speaker 1: they were such big superstars, but they came across to
• 59:10
  Speaker 1: him as very insecure. Talking about him doesn't upset him.
• 59:15
  Speaker 1: People talk about him all the time. But what frustrated
• 59:18
  Speaker 1: him was them trying to make this title and this
• 59:21
  Speaker 1: brand second rate for the SmackDown roster. If you didn't
• 59:26
  Speaker 1: see that as a declaration of war, and you don't
• 59:29
  Speaker 1: wrestle every match like it's your last match, I'll show
• 59:33
  Speaker 1: your arses the door. I don't know if he was
• 59:34
  Speaker 1: trying to rhyme there, but he kind of did. As
• 59:38
  Speaker 1: for this title, what did you say, punk, the man
• 59:41
  Speaker 1: makes the title. The title doesn't make the man. This
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: man has been through hell to get this title. This
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: man never quit when times got tough. He would never
• 59:50
  Speaker 1: go part time. He was there when the world shut down,
• 59:53
  Speaker 1: and he earned this title. He got some cheers for this.
• 59:57
  Speaker 1: How about the men who made this title? The Sam Martinos,
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 1: the Hogans, the Bret Harts, the Sean Michaels, the not
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 1: Dusty Rhoades, the Triple H's the stone cold the rocks. Real, men,
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 1: if you try to lie to yourself and say that
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 1: this isn't the number one title, I'll look you right
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 1: in the eye and call you a liar and Roman.
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 1: I get it, bro, I know why you picked punk.
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 1: On the one hand, you got a two hundred and
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: eighty pounds Scottish war machine, and on the other you've
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 1: got that tattooed sociopath, fragile Phil who's always one fall
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 1: away from his career being over. Without your Samoan army,
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 1: I'd kill you. You made the best choice for you, So
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 1: good lucky WrestleMania. When you two are out there acting
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 1: like a couple of little boys and Aura farming, which
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: is very true. Me, I've got an entire roster climbing
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 1: over each other to get into that elimination chamber for
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 1: the right to face the undisputed champion, the real best
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 1: in the world, in the main event of WrestleMania. I
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 1: thought that he did as good of a job as
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 1: you could possibly do in this situation. But there's nothing
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 1: that Drew McIntyre or Cody Rhodes or anybody here involved
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 1: in this is going to be able to say that
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 1: in these next two months are going to make that
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 1: main event feel bigger than the main event they set
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 1: up on Monday night. That's just the way it is.
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 1: This is the year that the WWE title takes a
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 1: backseat to the World Heavyweight Championship for the first time
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 1: since that title was established. By the way, it's going
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 1: to get the spotlight. It's going to get the bigger
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 1: of the two main events of WrestleMania. So there's nothing
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: he could do about that. I think that he hit
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 1: on the points he needed to hit on. He might
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 1: not have had that big burn. He didn't have that
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 1: big burn like you know Punker Roman did maybe on Monday.
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 1: I like that he's stuck up for his brand. You know,
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 1: they had him stick up for SmackDown, and he's telling
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 1: the rest of the roster, Look, if you don't take
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 1: those words of some declaration of war here, then get
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 1: the fuck out. You know, he's not just berating me
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 1: and disrespecting the championship. He's disrespecting SmackDown, which is true,
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 1: that's what they were doing on Monday. But it was
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 1: the Aura Farming line that just got me because that
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 1: that term perfectly describes WWE in twenty twenty six. And
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 1: it's not just a Roman reigns thing or a cmpunk thing.
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 1: It's a WWE thing. They all do it. They all
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 1: do it like that. We joke about some of these entrances,
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 1: especially on the ples that feel like they're longer than
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 1: the matches. Sometimes that is what That is the era
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 1: of WWE that we are in now. We are in
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 1: the aura farming era of WWE, where everything is cinema
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 1: and everything you just gotta you know, the elaborate entrances
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 1: and the constant looking at the crowd and pausing as
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 1: you're waiting for the and you're waiting for them to
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 1: sing to you. Right, he's so right about that. They
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 1: all but he does it too. It's worse with Roman,
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 1: but they all do it. But I thought that this
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 1: was a very strong promo here. He got his licks in.
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 1: At least he got his receipt. The most important thing
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 1: was he had to address what happened on Monday, and
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 1: I'm glad he did because for a while there I
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 1: wasn't sure he was going to. You know, when the
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 1: second time when he got attacked by Fat two, I said,
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 1: are they not going to allow him to have some
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 1: mic time tonight because that would be ridiculous, So thankfully
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 1: he did. Now we weren't done yet because as McIntyre
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 1: went to go leave, he was interrupted by Trick Williams,
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 1: who said that he figured he would come out here,
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: he would watch the main event, maybe kick up his
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 1: lemon peppa steppas and watch this qualified match. And then
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 1: it hit me, Drew, you're worried about all the wrong things.
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 1: Roman Rains, m Punk, Cody Road, Jacob fought to raheem.
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 1: Let me give you some advice. Dog. You need to
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 1: be worried about the future of this business because Trick
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 1: Williams is the man who's gonna take that title from
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 1: you at Wrestle Mandia. Let's talk about it. I'm loving
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 1: Trick Williams. He has fit into this show perfectly. He
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 1: fits like a glove on this show. McIntyre got up
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 1: in his face and said I did say step up,
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 1: and you just stepped up. But a little bit of
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 1: advice for you, kid, walk before you run, because if
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 1: you interrupt the champion again, I'll stick those lemon pepper
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 1: steppers where the sun don't shine. And off went the
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 1: WWE champion. Trick continues to shine here in these segments,
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 1: he got face. He keeps getting FaceTime with the biggest
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 1: stars on the brand, right, Sammy Zain, Randy Orton, Drew McIntyre,
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 1: Cody Rhodes, and he's killing it, you know, with every
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 1: opportunity when he goes out there, he just he fits
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 1: you talk about or we just talked about, or farming right,
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 1: He's got it. He's got that. When that music hits
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 1: and he comes out, he's got that. So it's only
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 1: up from here. He's carrying his end. He's doing his
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 1: part so far now. In the Yes, he is him
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 1: Sala Monster, cutting a trick promo. I'm just telling you
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 1: what the man said. I'm telling you what the man said.
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 1: Let's talk about it. Let's talk about this. In the back,
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 1: Solo Sokoa is wandering around like a fucking idiot, looking
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 1: for the stupid lantern and his family, or looking for
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 1: the family and the lantern, I don't know. Kathy Kelly
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 1: comes up to him and Solo says, I don't have
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 1: time for your questions. He says his family better be
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 1: out there with him. Then he picks up the lantern
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 1: and he heads to the ring because its main event time.
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 1: It is the final elimination chamber qualifier of the night.
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 1: It is on the men's side. It is Randy Orton,
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 1: it is Alistair Black, and it is Solo Soca. Solo
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 1: tried to get Black to team up on Orton, but
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 1: it was a double cross and Soka pulled Orton out
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 1: of the ring. He threw him into the ring post.
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 1: Black hit his moon salt from the apron onto Solo
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 1: and then countered an attempted backsuit plex onto the announced desk. Instead,
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 1: he took Orton out and that took us into a break.
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 1: We returned with Orton stomping on Black while he had
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 1: Solo trapped in. I guess what looked to me. I
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 1: don't know if it was a knee bar, a heel hook,
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 1: or some kind of leg submission here. So this opened
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 1: both met up to some of the Orton Garvin style stomps.
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 1: Black pulled Orton to the center of the ring. After this,
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 1: he worked him over until he got pulled outside and
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 1: thrown into the barricade by Solo, who briefly stared down Trick.
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 1: William Strick just sitting there minded his own business, observing
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 1: and watching the match back inside. Black dropped. I'm sorry,
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 1: Black got dropped, I believe with a Samoan drop. We
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 1: went into a final commercial break. Orton, after the break
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 1: hit Solo Socoa with a draping DDT and then he
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 1: struck the viper's pose and it was our KO time.
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 1: Black though, rushes in with a boot to the face.
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 1: Solo catches Black with the spinning Solo for a near fall.
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 1: So now Solo Socoa is readying the Samoan spike. Black though,
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 1: ducks it. Hits a bridging German soup plex that doesn't work.
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 1: Orton sneaks up for an RKAO to Black, who counters
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 1: doesn't get it, but he counters with a roll up
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 1: that doesn't work. Randy avoids the black mass catches Black
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 1: with an RKO, but Alistair has the presence of mind
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 1: to roll out of the ring to the floor save
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 1: himself from doing a job. What happened here? He rolls
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 1: out to the floor, Orton can't follow up, and now
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 1: Solo is back up and he's ready ing the spike.
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 1: Orton doesn't know it. Randy Orton gets back up. He's
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 1: taking his sweet time turning around because Solo's right behind him.
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 1: He's ready to hit the spike, and Orton is just
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 1: taking his time and taking his time, and it's almost
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 1: like he had that sixth sense that someone was behind him.
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 1: So instead of turning around, he reaches back. He grabs
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 1: Solo and he drops him with an RKO and he
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 1: covers him and just like that, Randy Orton gets the three.
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 1: He has punched his tickets to the elimination chamber. Solo's
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 1: family never did show up. We never saw J. C. Matteo,
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 1: we never saw the Tongans. There was no Tolatanga on
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 1: the show at all. So I guess the idea is
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 1: that the I guess the idea is that the Wyatt
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 1: family kidnapped them, you know, the way that Gabe Kid
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 1: and Clark Connors kidnapped Darby Allen on Wednesday. At least
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 1: the Wyots had enough sense not to commit a felony
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 1: on camera the way that they did on Wednesday night.
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 1: So it was a predictable outcome. I mean, when you
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 1: saw when this match was advertising, you saw who was involved.
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 1: There's only one logical conclusion to come to, which is that,
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 1: of course Randy Orton is going to win this match. Right.
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 1: No one believed that Solo Soko was going to win.
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 1: No one believed Alistair Black had a shot, so it
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 1: was a fore gun conclusion, but it was the right outcome,
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 1: solid match. Otherwise, Trick stayed at ringside like a fan.
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 1: He was just observing and he'd never got involved. And
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 1: I have to assume he will be in one of
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 1: these qualifiers. He will get in and he'll be a
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 1: part of the chamber because again, if no other reason,
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'm running out of guys to think of
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 1: who would even be in there, Like he has to
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 1: be in there. He has to be inside the chamber.
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 1: And it was nice. I will say there were, if
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 1: you think about it, two different hints of potential interference
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 1: in this match. Trick being at ringside, you assume he
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 1: would get involved in some way right where somebody's gonna
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 1: get thrown into him and he'll respond. He never got involved.
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 1: And also the Wyatt six never showed up because when
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 1: Solo was behind Orton with the spike, I'm just waiting
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 1: for the lights to go out. I'm waiting for something.
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 1: Uncle Howdie's gonna pop up from under the ring or something,
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 1: And they never showed up, nor did Solo's MFTs so
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 1: we actually had a clean match, which was nice. It
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 1: was a nice change of pace here for WWE, because
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 1: that's all we fucking get in ninety five percent of
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 1: these matches is some sort of distraction or interference. I mean,
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 1: TRIPLEH can't help himself. Look at that show on Monday night.
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 1: We had three matches on run Monday Night. They all
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 1: ended the exact same way. Every single one of those
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 1: matches some sort of distraction or interference that led to
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 1: I believe the Babyface winning in every single match. Like
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 1: they have their formula and and they love sticking to it.
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 1: It is nauseating, So it's nice to get a clean
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 1: finish like this. I thought on the whole it was
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 1: a solid show. You got a hot crowd in Charlotte,
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 1: definitely louder than the one we had in Philadelphia on
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 1: Monday night. The matches on the show. Again, I wasn't
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 1: a fan of the women's qualifying match. I just didn't
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 1: think it was that good, But all the other matches
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 1: were at least decent, you know, if not good. The
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 1: build has begun to the elimination Chamber. It's starting to
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 1: take shape. The women's tag team title match Honestly, it
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 1: gets my pick for match of the night. I just
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 1: thought that match was a lot of fun. I wish
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 1: every Julia match could have the crowd invested in the
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 1: way that it was tonight. But to me, that's the
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 1: match they guess the thumbs up. Now, next Friday, be
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 1: aware SmackDown is moving to Sci Fi due to the
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 1: Winter Olympics, I believe for the next two weeks. Now,
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 1: if you're like me and you're watching on your VPN
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 1: and you're connected on Netflix, you don't have to worry
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 1: about that. But if you're watching here in the US,
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 1: it will not be on USA, so just be aware
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 1: of that. But they're definitely I will say this, you know,
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 1: for a show that is being moved to sci Fi
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 1: next week, you would think, oh man, they're gonna, you know,
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 1: phone it in or whatever. They ain't phoning the show
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 1: in next week is what they got on tap. We
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 1: have Trick Williams taking on Ray Phoenix again. We have
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 1: Jade car Gill finally defending her WWE Women's championship against
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 1: Jordan Grace. We have Ria Ripley and Eo Sky putting
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 1: their women's tag team titles on the line against lash
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 1: Legend de Nia Jacks. We have in an elimination chamber
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 1: qualifying match Alexa Bliss, Julia and Zelina Vega. I'm going
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 1: Alexa Bliss to win that one. And then in the
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 1: other qualifying match, Cody Rhodes versus Jacob Fatu versus Sammy Zain.
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 1: Pretty big match, especially because only one of those guys
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 1: can actually go to the chamber, and I'm just I'm
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 1: picking Cody to win, with the idea that Jacob probably
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 1: ends up wrestling Drew separately for the championship, maybe at
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 1: the chamber. But again, I don't count out Sammy's ain.
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 1: Don't count out the possibility that they could do some
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 1: sort of finish here where Drew gets involved and again
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 1: triple threat notice qualification. Drew gets involved to get a
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 1: measure of revenge on both men for coming after him tonight.
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 1: And again, how they end up doing it with Cody
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 1: ultimately getting the shot or Jacob ultimately getting the shot.
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 1: I mean, they'll have to shoot some kind of angle,
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 1: but Sammy ends up being the beneficiary and he ends
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 1: up in the elimination chamber. I still think maybe I'm
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 1: overthinking it. Sometimes the simplest things that's the way it goes.
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 1: Wins because I think Cody is winning the elimination chamber.
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 1: That's how he gets into that championship. At you WrestleMania.
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 1: He didn't win the rumble because that would have been stupid,
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 1: but he's never won the chamber before, and I think
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 1: that's what we're gonna get. But then you have two
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 1: big names there and Jacob and Sammy who aren't even
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 1: going to be in the chamber, and it's like wow,
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 1: that that that surprised me. When I saw all three
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 1: names in the same match next week and only one
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 1: can advance. That surprised me. Let's go to the poll.
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 1: What did you think of SmackDown from Charlotte with no
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 1: Charlotte Forty six point three percent thumbs up, thirty percent
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 1: thumbs in the middle, and twenty three point six percent
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 1: thumbs down. So not a great score for tonight's SmackDown?
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 1: Not great. Read your message so if you got anything
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 1: to say, if you want who was support the channel,
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 1: get those messages on in right now. We'll hang out
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 1: for a little bit. Holiday one ninety seven says Hey Solo,
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 1: it's sad that the street profits MotorCity machine guns and
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 1: DIY are no longer featured after their triple Threat TLC
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 1: match last year. It should have been given bigger pushes
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 1: MotorCity machine Guns or DIY could have moved to Raw
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 1: well DIY. I mean, it's kind of out of their control.
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 1: I would say, as far as that team going to
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 1: the wayside, not much they could do about that. But yet,
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know what's going on with
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 1: either tag team division right now. The tag team divisions
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 1: on both shows are absolute dog shit right now, just
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 1: absolutely terrible. It's sad, it really is sad. He says,
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 1: I'd rather see Rhea turn on EO and cost them
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 1: the tag belt against the Bellas. Look, I mean, I
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 1: think I laid it out the other night. Get the
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 1: belts off of them by the elimination Chamber. You could
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 1: get the belts off them next week if you want to.
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 1: You can put the belts on Naya en Lash. My
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 1: thought was you get them onto Bailey and Lyra, because
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 1: they could have probably a pretty kick ass match at
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 1: the Elimination Chamber. Get the belts on Bailey and Lyra,
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 1: have Bailey and Lyra defend them against the belt is
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 1: at WrestleMania because you know Nicki and Brie are going
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 1: for those belts to wrestle Media and probably winning them.
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 1: But the key is to get those belts off of
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 1: them before Mania, and then you could do Ria and
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 1: EO and I'll do you one better. And I know
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 1: this is Pie in the Sky, Pizza Pie in the
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 1: Sky not gonna happen. I would be okay if you
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 1: were to headline Night one of WrestleMania with Rhea Ripley
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 1: against the OO Sky. They'll never do it because there's
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 1: nothing on the line. There's no title on the line.
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 1: But I'm just saying I saw their match of Evolution.
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 1: I know title or no title, they can go out
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 1: there and have a kick ass made event match of
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 1: Wrestleman and not a doubt in my mind. But main
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 1: event or not, that's the match I'd like to see.
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 1: Uh Brolli, brolli. If they have zero trust in Jade
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 1: having long matches, why is she even the world champion?
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 1: She only has six minutes of in ring time since
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 1: early November. I mean, look at her, there's your answer.
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 1: She looks like a superhero. Of course they're gonna want
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 1: the belt on her. It's as simple as that. I
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 1: think they put the belt on her because of her
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 1: great technical wrestling skills. Sometimes you just have to look
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 1: at the performer and then ask yourself why are they
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 1: in the position they're in, And usually you could just
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 1: look at them and you can tell. Dried Chicken says,
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 1: I gotta admit, it's just so funny to see how
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 1: WWE is so clean, polished and sanitized. I should give
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 1: out cold cut sandwiches, sushi, and grilled chicken. The Mount
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 1: Vernon kick Christopher Bennett say, load, I'm proud solo. In
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 1: my opinion, that should be the only There should be
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 1: only one main championship title. Isn't it true that the
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 1: belt Drew has is the one with the legacy? You
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 1: mean the other belt that has two years worth of
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 1: history is not the belt with the legacy. I'm shocked. Yes,
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 1: there's only one belt with the real world title, with
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 1: the real legacy in this company. Drew McIntyre has it,
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 1: and he's still not closing. The second night at WrestleMania
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 1: this year, Sees says, was EO over tonight? EO is
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 1: over every night. You don't even have to ask the question.
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 1: Holliday says, I wonder what Sammy will do for WrestleMania.
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 1: I can see Sammy against Dragonov to give them both
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 1: the spot on the card. Sammy should not miss WrestleMania
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 1: for two years in a row. I can see either
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 1: Sammy or Ilya as the heel. Yeah. I don't have
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 1: Sammy factored into any sort of championship match or major match.
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 1: I question whether he will even be on the show.
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 1: I really do. But if it comes down to it,
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 1: and you've got guys like Sammy and Ilia who don't
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 1: have any sort of real spot to speak of, I
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 1: wouldn't mind that match. It would be a great match.
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 1: Brandon Proctor. Kyrie is still following OSCA back to the States.
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 1: She is in transit as we speak. Alexander, if we
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 1: don't get Oba versus lesnar Oba versus Gunther works, I
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 1: don't like it. I don't like it because I know
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 1: what's gonna happen. They're gonna have gun Thor beat him.
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 1: I don't like it. Derek, Oh, actually I'm skipping ahead here.
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 1: Los Dill almost miss Los ADL. How could I miss
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 1: Los Dill with a twenty dollars super chat catching the
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 1: tail end of the live stream. Thanks for getting me
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 1: through these late nights at work. The best in the business.
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 1: Love you solo as always. Thank you brother, I very
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 1: much appreciate that. Alexander says, calling it now La Knight
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 1: is going in the chamber, so La Night from Monday Night,
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 1: Raw is going to end up in the chamber. I'd
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 1: like to see how they swing that because he's still
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 1: feuding with the vision. So I don't see that, Derek says,
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 1: I'm sure you saw the fightful story on how even
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 1: soul Ruka questioned the soul snatcher spot in the rumble.
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 1: What the hell was up with the producers this year? Man,
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 1: Kyrie is just she's getting abused this week. Yeah, I mean, look,
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 1: I said it that night before I even saw that story.
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know what they were thinking
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 1: this year when they were coming up with different spots
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 1: and eliminations in this match. It's like it's like they
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 1: didn't know how to book the Royal Rumble. I'm talking
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 1: more about the men's than the women's. I mean the
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 1: women's spot there at the end. I like the finish,
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 1: but like that spot where she went for the soul
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 1: snatcher on the like on the apron, which would have
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 1: eliminated her regardless, was incredibly dumb. But the men's match
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 1: was just egregious with some of the shit that they
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 1: did there. I really don't. I don't understand it. I
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 1: really don't. You have multiple people who are putting this
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 1: match together and they have to look at this and go, Yep,
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 1: that sounds good, Yep, that sounds like a great idea
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 1: that'll work. Boggles my mind, it really does. Alexander says
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 1: Gargano and Candace should follow Champa to AW. Just what
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 1: Tony Kahan needs more wrestlers to sign I don't think
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 1: he's got enough of them. More, say's a Dynamite got
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 1: six hundred and fifty four thousand houses being larger, AW
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 1: is rising. I don't think the weekly houses are that
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 1: much larger. I think they're pretty much what they've been.
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 1: The six point fifty four was the highest Dynamite total,
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 1: I want to say, since September. But there was also
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 1: a change in the which I'll talk about on Sunday,
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 1: in the Nielsen numbers because a lot of people and
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 1: television executives were complaining because the numbers were down across
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 1: the board, especially for wrestling, WWEAWTNA, and last week they
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 1: made a change to try to improve some of the numbers.
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 1: All of a sudden, Wrestling's back up, Collision was up,
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 1: Dynamite was up. I think SmackDown was up, TNA was up.
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 1: So it's great. Obviously you want a trend in that
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 1: direction and not go lower. But there's a reason why
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 1: there was a spike. So now we wait and see
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 1: what the numbers are going to look like in a
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 1: few weeks, if it's going to be in this range still,
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 1: if it's going to trend down a little bit more.
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 1: But yeah, there were a lot of complaints and then
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 1: Nielsen was like, oh shit, we better update this methodology
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 1: here because everyone's got their panties at a bunch. But
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 1: wrestling really took it on the chin. Toya says cm rains, Lol,
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 1: Leopardto says cm rains best in the bloodline. Just fuse
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 1: them together, right, good old cm rains. Jake Stevens, it
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 1: was good to be back in America tonight. The most
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 1: choked to death there, Jake Stevens, Where were you were
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 1: you on vacation? Make it sound like you just got
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 1: back from some great voyage somewhere. Alexander's fucking cold here
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 1: in America, I'll tell you that much. It gonna be
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 1: seven degrees. I'm gonna be out in seven degree weather
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 1: tomorrow night. I can't wait. Alexander the Lantern is solo's
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 1: FTW title and Navy Oba Femei's march syncs up great
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 1: with the double J theme. What what are you talking about? No,
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 1: that shouldn't be a thing. You're gonna You're gonna start
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 1: something here. Uh, we got Jeremy. How do they get
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 1: six women in the chamber match from SmackDown obviously going
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 1: to be Live steph Are they going to have raw
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 1: women compete to Phase Ja? That's a good point. Actually,
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 1: well see here, Well hmm, Live has not made her
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 1: choice yet. But if we assume that she is going
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 1: to pick Stephanie, then yes it should be. You know,
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 1: I don't know how they are going to do that,
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 1: because if she doesn't make her choice for a few
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 1: more weeks, I mean, she may make it a Monday
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 1: for all we know. But let's say they let a
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 1: few weeks go by, you would think, why wouldn't they
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 1: have some raw women in that chamber match? Right? And
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 1: then in the end, like if Livi nds up choosing
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 1: Stephanie in two weeks. Let's say the Raw women who
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 1: end up in the chamber could still compete, and then
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 1: if they end up winning, they would just be moved
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 1: over to SmackDown, so you could do it that way.
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 1: Maybe that's why they're doing that, because you're probably right,
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 1: they're gonna have to find some women from Raw. I mean, look,
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 1: Charlotte Alexa is in a qualifying match next week, right,
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 1: Alexa is gonna get in. Charlotte Flair is going to
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 1: get in as well. Okay, so Tiffany's already in. You're
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 1: gonna have Tiffany, You're gonna have Charlotte, You're gonna have Alexa. Yeah,
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 1: I mean, god, who else? Well, Bianca, I still got
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 1: my fingers crossed. It might be a small chance, but
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 1: maybe Beyonca ends up being in the chamber. But you
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 1: got a good point, though they may be a little
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 1: shorthanded on the SmackDown side, Meechin and befab Aar and
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 1: even around. Ironically, it was in matches with Jade at
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 1: live events where they got hurt, so we haven't seen
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 1: them since they wrestle Jade Jabe Shephard. So Sola Monster,
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 1: do you remember the last raw episode on Spike TV
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 1: where they tried to censor the commentators saying USA Network.
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 1: It was in two thousand and five. Yes I do.
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 1: They were trying, but they gave up like halfway through
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 1: the episode. They just said that fuck it. So then
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 1: every time they would mention you, hey, we're going to USA,
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 1: We're going to USA, they stopped. They stopped bleeping it out.
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 1: That was funny. Actually, uh, Louis, Dominoes and Pizza Hut
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 1: are the kings of pizza. Good luck to Papa John's
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 1: trying to dethrone Little Caesars as the third best pizza
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 1: in the US and stay warm in this winter storm
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 1: solo monster. Well, Luis, I am going to try. I
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 1: shall do my best. I forgot about Papa John's. I
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 1: had a friend who tried Papa John's. He said it
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 1: tasted like garbage, so didn't get a big Papa John's endorsement.
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 1: Dry Chicken says if WWE books a Dragonov versus Lesnar match,
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 1: it would be like David versus Goliath. Well, they are
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 1: not going to book a Lesnar Dragonov match, not this year.
• 1:29:18
  Speaker 1: I guarantee it. Rumored to get one to three inches
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 1: of snow who is rumored to get one to three
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 1: inches of snow, but better not be us. I mean
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 1: they are showing some snowflakes in the forecast overnight, but
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 1: I thought it was just a dusting. Anyway, we are
• 1:29:40
  Speaker 1: at four hundred and seventy seven likes, which if you
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 1: take a look at the wheel here, four fifty was
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 1: the goal. So you hit the goal very good, and
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 1: that guarantees you one round of be the booker. Let's
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 1: do it, gentlemen, it is now time to be the booker.
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 1: Ah snow out of Providence. Well, I am not in Providence,
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 1: which is very good. Yes, they said that it will
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 1: be seven degrees tomorrow and I don't know what the
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 1: windshill is going to be because they're gonna have like fifteen
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 1: mile an hour wind gusts and I gotta be in
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 1: the city. So yeah, Retro Koh Giordano's and Lou Maalnats
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 1: are both goaded pizza next time you go to Chicago.
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 1: Who is Lou Malnadi? Never heard of him before? Well,
• 1:30:50
  Speaker 1: when I'll be in Chicago in March, and I will
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 1: not be having pizza because if I do have pizza,
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 1: that's gonna be I feel bad for everybody on that
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 1: flight with me. No more pizza for me. God, when
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 1: was the last time I had a slice of pizza.
• 1:31:10
  Speaker 1: It's gotta be fifteen years by now. All right, here
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 1: we go, be the booker. Hulk Hogan and Edge they
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 1: were tag team champions there for a few weeks. They
• 1:31:22
  Speaker 1: actually won the titles on the fourth of July, or
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 1: at least that's when it aired. I don't think it
• 1:31:27
  Speaker 1: was live. What's more American than Hulk Hogan winning a
• 1:31:35
  Speaker 1: championship on the fourth of July. You tell me they're
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 1: gonna be defending those titles against the USOS Jimmy and
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 1: Jay against Hulk Hogan and Edge. There you go. You
• 1:31:54
  Speaker 1: got some names right there in that match. That's a
• 1:31:59
  Speaker 1: marquee match there. Women's be the booker. We have the
• 1:32:08
  Speaker 1: former Impact Knockouts champion Mickey James stepping into the ring.
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 1: And who will she be stepping into the ring with
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 1: TNA Hall of Famer, by the way, not WWE Hall
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 1: of Famer, and Mickey James is going to be taken
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 1: on a j not Styles aj Lee. I'm still expecting
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 1: her to wrestle Becky Lenja, wrestle Matie all right, our
• 1:32:43
  Speaker 1: main events of the evening begins with the Ministry of
• 1:32:51
  Speaker 1: Darkness Undertaker, my least favorite version of the Undertaker. Oh
• 1:33:10
  Speaker 1: my god, he's facing Dave Meltzer. But not just Dave Meltzer,
• 1:33:19
  Speaker 1: not just Dave Meltzer. It is money, Dave. It is
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 1: the rain Maker, Dave Meltzer. Now I gave that the
• 1:33:29
  Speaker 1: bell because look, Dave, Dave keeps himself in good shame.
• 1:33:34
  Speaker 1: Dave could get in there. He's got his arms maybe
• 1:33:36
  Speaker 1: bigger than the Undertaker at this point, but you see
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 1: the money he's holding in his hand there. I would
• 1:33:41
  Speaker 1: pay that. I would pay good money to see Dave
• 1:33:44
  Speaker 1: Meltzer step into the ring with the Undertaker, and you
• 1:33:48
  Speaker 1: would too. Don't lie. Don't lie to me. Don't lie
• 1:33:53
  Speaker 1: to me. Now, imagine this match in the Tokyo Dome
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 1: five Star match if I've ever seen one. Justin g
• 1:34:06
  Speaker 1: we need a spin for the show venue sometime. Ah
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 1: that see, that's there's an idea. There's an idea we
• 1:34:14
  Speaker 1: can add. And even if it's like a bonus where
• 1:34:16
  Speaker 1: we don't do it every every time, we do, be
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 1: the booker hit a certain goal. Pick the venue, the
• 1:34:26
  Speaker 1: Madison Square Garden, on there, the Tokyo Dome, Cork and
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 1: Hall Daily's Place, the Barclay Center, Club Lavila, which isn't
• 1:34:40
  Speaker 1: there anymore, but fuck it, will put it on there anyway. Yeah,
• 1:34:45
  Speaker 1: you know what, that's actually a really good idea. I'm
• 1:34:47
  Speaker 1: gonna put that on the list. You just made the list.
• 1:34:50
  Speaker 1: I got a lot of ideas. I got things. I
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 1: got to add. Sola Monster, going to hit Solo Ruca
• 1:34:58
  Speaker 1: with the soul snatch, the Solo Snatcher. Ah, yes, right,
• 1:35:04
  Speaker 1: the Solo Snatcher. Ye, Arena Mexico. Yeah, we'll put Arena
• 1:35:09
  Speaker 1: Mexico on there. You realize that Mystico made history in
• 1:35:15
  Speaker 1: January and no one talks about it. But eighteen sellouts
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 1: that he shows that he headlined, or clearly he was
• 1:35:23
  Speaker 1: responsible for a lot of those tickets being sold. He
• 1:35:29
  Speaker 1: headlined eighteen sellouts in the month of January. No other wrestler,
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 1: no other headliner to my knowledge, has ever done that before.
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 1: And it's only January. We still have the rest of
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 1: the year to go. It's unbelievable. Om too cool. They
• 1:35:57
  Speaker 1: kept me down for five years, for five years at
• 1:36:00
  Speaker 1: me at the bottom of the barrel Rico shit, and
• 1:36:06
  Speaker 1: we'll talk about we'll talk about Ricochet on Sunday. I
• 1:36:08
  Speaker 1: had a whole segment lined up for Ricochet and his
• 1:36:12
  Speaker 1: comments and the Hangman stuff. We'll talk wwe We'll be
• 1:36:18
  Speaker 1: covering a lot of good stuff on the Sounduff this Sunday.
• 1:36:21
  Speaker 1: It's episode nine fifty actually of the sound Off This Sunday,
• 1:36:29
  Speaker 1: watch the Puppy Bowl. No, yeah, you know what. I'll
• 1:36:39
  Speaker 1: put some weird locations in there too, But City Field
• 1:36:43
  Speaker 1: where the Mets play, Fenway Park, Wrigley Field, whatever, that
• 1:36:55
  Speaker 1: stadium is, the baseball stadium that has the big jacuzzi
• 1:36:57
  Speaker 1: or the big pool in the back. Forgot, I always
• 1:37:00
  Speaker 1: forget where that is? That Arizona. I don't know. We'll
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 1: put that in there too, Jake, If God forbid Triple
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 1: HS died, who would take his job? I'm sure Bruce
• 1:37:17
  Speaker 1: would slide right in there, at least on an interim basis.
• 1:37:20
  Speaker 1: Long term, who would they find I don't know, I
• 1:37:24
  Speaker 1: don't know, but I mean the people they have that
• 1:37:25
  Speaker 1: work there right now. You've got Bruce, You've got Michael
• 1:37:29
  Speaker 1: Hayes is there, You've got Paul Hayman. So at least
• 1:37:32
  Speaker 1: on an interim basis, it would be one of those
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 1: three long term. I don't know. I don't know who
• 1:37:44
  Speaker 1: that person would be. Sean Yeah. I mean, look, Shawn Michaels,
• 1:37:48
  Speaker 1: you could do that. You can call him up from
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 1: if he wants the job. I don't know, you know,
• 1:37:53
  Speaker 1: if you would, if he would want to take Triple
• 1:37:55
  Speaker 1: H' spot, then you just got to find somebody else
• 1:37:57
  Speaker 1: to run NXTA, which I know is something see Punk
• 1:38:00
  Speaker 1: has expressed a desire to do. But seem Punk is
• 1:38:04
  Speaker 1: still active, so it would be I feel like politically
• 1:38:09
  Speaker 1: there would be a lot of politicking and jockeying going
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 1: on behind the scenes when it comes to these positions
• 1:38:17
  Speaker 1: because they are highly coveted positions that multiple people I'm
• 1:38:21
  Speaker 1: sure would want. Maybe they pick up the phone and
• 1:38:25
  Speaker 1: call Scott de Moore. I don't know. John Cena, yeah,
• 1:38:33
  Speaker 1: I don't think. I think John Sene has got enough
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 1: going on right now with his movies. This is a
• 1:38:39
  Speaker 1: full time job. So what you're suggesting is that John
• 1:38:42
  Speaker 1: Cen to just give up his entire Hollywood career to
• 1:38:46
  Speaker 1: book WWA. We don't even know if he has an
• 1:38:49
  Speaker 1: aptitude for it. I don't think he wants the job.
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 1: Who said road Dog? Oh my god, I can't even imagine,
• 1:39:02
  Speaker 1: especially that after watching Unreal, I can't imagine him running
• 1:39:05
  Speaker 1: the entire thing. He run it right into the fucking ground.
• 1:39:10
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, Micah, don't forget All State Arena Slash, Rosemont, Horizon,
• 1:39:22
  Speaker 1: Lost Dill. Favorite Vince Russo moment, bro mind you ask,
• 1:39:31
  Speaker 1: it's got to be when he called Hogan a bald bitch.
• 1:39:34
  Speaker 1: And when is Dark Side of the Ring said to
• 1:39:36
  Speaker 1: come back? I thought it was March, but I don't
• 1:39:43
  Speaker 1: remember offhand when the next season kicks off. My guess
• 1:39:48
  Speaker 1: would be by the end of March. But don't quote
• 1:39:50
  Speaker 1: me on that. My favorite Russeo moment, I I don't
• 1:40:01
  Speaker 1: have one. There's no such thing. There's no on camera,
• 1:40:08
  Speaker 1: on screen Russo moment that I would consider my favorite anything.
• 1:40:18
  Speaker 1: Imagine if they brought back Russo Now he's a little
• 1:40:21
  Speaker 1: busy with the Juggalos, so you don't have to worry
• 1:40:27
  Speaker 1: about that. Oh Man, Falconstar Falcons Star, says Russo is
• 1:40:41
  Speaker 1: with the clowns. Where you fall? I know why that? Maybe? Laugh?
• 1:40:49
  Speaker 1: Cody Raheem take the Triple H spot well. Cody is
• 1:40:53
  Speaker 1: another one who has expressed interest, but again, so long
• 1:40:56
  Speaker 1: as they're active that would be terrible. By the way,
• 1:40:58
  Speaker 1: you can't be a player coach in wrestling. It doesn't work.
• 1:41:01
  Speaker 1: The conflict of interest is just too great. That was
• 1:41:05
  Speaker 1: always my issue with the EVPs and aw having EVP
• 1:41:08
  Speaker 1: titles while they were still active wrestlers, Like you were
• 1:41:10
  Speaker 1: just asking for trouble by doing that. Oh you want
• 1:41:13
  Speaker 1: to know my favorite Russo moment? There it is right there.
• 1:41:15
  Speaker 1: Look what just popped up on screen? The only time
• 1:41:18
  Speaker 1: that we ever saw Russo and Cornet on screen together
• 1:41:21
  Speaker 1: next to each other. There it is, thank you, thank you.
• 1:41:25
  Speaker 1: See fate, it was fate that that popped up. There
• 1:41:28
  Speaker 1: was my favorite Russo moment. Mays says, a venue idea
• 1:41:35
  Speaker 1: city field loser sleeps with the rats. Well, now we're
• 1:41:41
  Speaker 1: just getting silly now. Would Maven be interested? I don't know.
• 1:41:47
  Speaker 1: Maybe he'll do a video about it, like he does
• 1:41:49
  Speaker 1: everything else. Anyway, Thank you guys hanging for hanging out
• 1:41:58
  Speaker 1: with me. I can get over that, can get over
• 1:42:03
  Speaker 1: that message. Russo is with the clowns wearingful Oh that's
• 1:42:11
  Speaker 1: that's the moment of the night right there. I thought
• 1:42:14
  Speaker 1: Cody Raheem Rhodes was gonna be the moment of the night.
• 1:42:17
  Speaker 1: I think that gets my vote. I'm gonna be back
• 1:42:21
  Speaker 1: with you guys live on Monday night for the Raw
• 1:42:25
  Speaker 1: Post Show. Of course, before that, we have episode nine
