  am your host, Wayne Semi dried Chicken, and today we are going back
• 1:03
  to Saudi Arabia, yay for Crown Jewel, and I am not going alone.
• 1:11
  This is gonna be a long, terrible, hot, stuck on the
• 1:15
  tarmat kind of trip possibly, but let me bring on my co host.
• 1:21
  Here we go. Hey, Ray, are you eating anything during this episode?
• 1:57
  Uh? Not yet, it's on the way. We'll be when he
• 2:01
  gets here, all right, uh And also joining us as usual, Doyle.
• 2:36
  Oh it's me, it's me. It's a d O. I l
• 2:38
  E and I had a fucking stuck on the tarmac joke baked in and your
• 2:42
  ruined it for me. Thanks a lot, Wade. Did I jump the
• 2:46
  gun you stole? My thunder. That's all right helped? Oh ma,
• 2:53
  hey, so Doyle, you had me thinking the other day when you mentioned
• 2:58
  it, Doyle three six team, that would be an awesome shirt to have.
• 3:02
  I used to have back in the back in the nineties. I had
• 3:06
  one man resurface it like a retro share. Yeah. No, I'm sure
• 3:10
  I could get another one million somehow. Yeah. What does it mean though?
• 3:15
  Duel three sixteen has to mean something so explained? Explain? Is there
• 3:20
  a backstory? Well, nowadays it means I want to be home by ten
• 3:24
  pm. Uh. Yeah, Like we got our deal with Pro Wrestling Tease,
• 3:36
  So we have a store and I'm at the point now we're like the
• 3:38
  store's created. We just don't have any designs uploaded yet because they're redoing the
• 3:44
  site. So hopefully this week I'll be able to upload some new designs.
• 3:51
  We get four of them right off the bat, and I think if we
• 3:53
  sell twenty five items from our store, then we're going to get a unlimited
• 3:58
  amount of designs. So you know, uh, each of us are gonna
• 4:02
  get our own personal design, and then we're gonna get one the entire podcast,
• 4:06
  whether you want it on a T shirt or a hoodie. I'm getting
• 4:11
  mine in a hoodie because I'm wearing it to WrestleMania and I know it's gonna
• 4:15
  be cold, so lay yeah, I was thinking it too. I was
• 4:21
  like, I will get like a two XL, Like I'm an XCEL hoodie
• 4:25
  kind of guy, but I'll get a two XL so it could be a
• 4:28
  roomy because you know that that was always like one of my my problems when
• 4:31
  I was younger. It's like you always you get this really cool wrestling shirt,
• 4:35
  right, but it's cold out, so you're wearing like a hoodie or
• 4:39
  a jacket, and uh, you know, the second you get there,
• 4:43
  it's like, now I show my wrestling shirt. I got to take off
• 4:46
  my jacket immediately. Uh that are just sweat it out and wear it over
• 4:49
  top. But I mean I always every every event, I have to wear
• 4:56
  a wrestling shirt, Like every event I go to, I can't just go
• 4:59
  in a clean shirt. This is weird for me. You know, we're
• 5:02
  a non wrestling shirt. So you know, this will be great for people
• 5:08
  who want to wear a PCW shirt. Wear it's an event and it's gonna
• 5:12
  be cool because it's gonna have the QR code, right, on your back.
• 5:17
  I'm always tired of people like, oh, well, where do we
• 5:20
  go to listen to your podcasts? I give them the whole list, and
• 5:24
  I'd rather just be like, hey, just scan the barcode and leave me
• 5:29
  alone. Scan this QR code. Carlos had the idea of doing stickers.
• 5:35
  I thought that would be cool, slapping stickers everywhere, QR co stickers,
• 5:40
  you know, QR codes. That's that's the way we do it now,
• 5:43
  That's that's how the kids do it today. Dre. Yeah, I suppose.
• 5:48
  So everything's a sort of a QR code because everybody has their phone on
• 5:54
  them. You click it, you scan it. Done deal right there?
• 5:59
  Yeah, and uh, you know, I I tested this this theory,
• 6:03
  you know, and I asked my grandmother if she knew what this was,
• 6:06
  and I pointed to the QR code and she goes, oh, yeah,
• 6:10
  that's the QR code. I'm like, do you know how to use one
• 6:13
  of these things? And I showed her that she she she got it immediately.
• 6:18
  And I was like, all right, I like to subscribe grandma,
• 6:24
  so now she can do it, and she know she's well in her eighties.
• 6:29
  Grandma can do it. You know. There's no excuse why you know,
• 6:33
  listener, Dave, you know I'm talking to you, Dave. You
• 6:36
  know, can't can't you know, get on the website, join the discord.
• 6:44
  You know other people who listen. Who who was like, I want
• 6:46
  to talk in your discord, but I don't feel like downloading it. Oh,
• 6:50
  it's not my fault. That's just where we are. That's where we
• 6:54
  do major our majority of our wrestling talking throughout the week. If not,
• 7:00
  you just wait for the podcast episodes drop and hear what we have to say.
• 7:03
  But sometimes I have here before Daved catching strays. Yeah, well you
• 7:09
  know why. You know why. Dave was over not too long ago,
• 7:11
  and I'm like, Dave, like, I haven't seen you on the discord.
• 7:14
  I'm like, you probably should say something because we all think you're dead.
• 7:17
  So he did pop up a couple of days ago, so he is
• 7:21
  alive. I'm just confirming he's a busy man with a new job, but
• 7:27
  he is alive. I'm trying to get him to come over maybe for like
• 7:30
  Survivors series. I'll have some people over this saudy pay per view, guys
• 7:34
  like right in the middle of the afternoon. You know these rare Yeah,
• 7:44
  I work too, but you know, I'll be done in time. I
• 7:46
  think I'm done at like ten thirty in the morning, and this is what
• 7:51
  starts at one in the afternoon. So yeah, yeah, I wish I
• 7:58
  could say that I'll be working from eight to five on Saturday, so man,
• 8:01
  after that, I plan on going to the gym. So it'll just
• 8:05
  be I'll be watching it like a filthy normy at Saturday night. No,
• 8:11
  it's just there's nothing wrong with that, like savoring it later at night and
• 8:16
  watching it the old fashioned way. But the most difficult part is staying off
• 8:20
  of social media because uh, you know, if you're like me and you
• 8:24
  follow multiple wrestling outlets and and WW and and a bunch of WW superstars and
• 8:31
  our aw superstars, like, it doesn't matter. Like if you go onto
• 8:35
  social media, it's all out there on the table. So it's tough.
• 8:39
  Like I've done it, what you've done win every match. So spoiler alert,
• 8:48
  Yeah, oh yeah, didn't they They did a couple pre taping,
• 8:56
  didn't they smacked? Yeah? Yeah, I think they. Yeah, they
• 9:01
  did that. Well last week? Did they record both episodes? Two episodes?
• 9:05
  They usually will do like their in ring stuff and then they'll supplement it
• 9:09
  with video packages and that's usually how those those pre taped shows go. Now,
• 9:18
  didn't our listener Wayne, who has been on the show before, didn't
• 9:22
  he say he went to the SmackDown that was being taped. If I caught
• 9:26
  that on that discord, I'm not sure that he was talking about this one.
• 9:31
  I thought he'd I think he was just saying that he had been to
• 9:35
  one of those scenarios where they yes, yes, I think I believe.
• 9:41
  I believe so because that makes sense. What he said with sammy' z aine
• 9:45
  winning the title makes sense because I thought, like, you know, that's
• 9:48
  kind of cool, though, like you see it, you can get to
• 9:50
  go home and then you get to experience it, you know, on TV.
• 9:56
  I mean I've never I don't know, it's rare. I've ever gone
• 10:00
  back and watched a SmackDown or something I've been on, you know, sometimes
• 10:03
  a pay per view, but never like a ball SmackDown. Hey, I
• 10:11
  did that wrestling. I don't do it with sports though, and never I
• 10:15
  have TVR and I go, I'm gonna go look and see if I see
• 10:18
  myself, and then I never did. Oh yeah, no, well I
• 10:22
  go lout. I did do it for the Raw that I attended, And
• 10:24
  there's like a brief blur if you suppause at one moment, you don't see
• 10:31
  me. But I know what I wore that night, So I was like
• 10:33
  that red blur right there, that's my shirt. Yeah, you add that
• 10:37
  to your profile page or I MBD like, listen, I was on an
• 10:41
  episode of Raw or a SmackDown right the red blur at one hour and forty
• 10:48
  seven minutes. Yes, yes, I had to talk to Jesse Ventura's lawyer,
• 10:52
  get you some royalties? Yeah, I did. Lana former wrestler Lana,
• 10:58
  wife of rust of I think, she says she heard from Vince mac
• 11:03
  manaer. It's like one hundred thousand dollars was it a minute or a second
• 11:07
  that that they're recording on TV, that they're live on the air. It
• 11:13
  was like a ridiculous amount of money, like per minute. I think it
• 11:18
  was like one hundred grand a minute. Yeah, to be live on air,
• 11:22
  it was ridiculous. She says she heard it from Vince. I saw
• 11:26
  that post recently. I don't know if there's any likes to it, but
• 11:31
  you know, it's kind of I mean that all told the labor and the
• 11:35
  cost to run the building. And yeah, I could say that pretty easily.
• 11:41
  Yeah. Also, Lanna said that she wants to be a better manager
• 11:46
  than Paul Haman. That's what she wants to go down history as. Yeah,
• 11:54
  that's that's that's tough cookie. That's a tough cookie, especially when he's
• 11:58
  been managing multiple people. I mean, if you just you just stack his
• 12:03
  career with bron Lesar against her career as a manager for RUSSA in just that
• 12:09
  time period, he's still better. I mean, she got a she got
• 12:13
  a whole lot of steps up the up the stair poobial staircase declimb before she
• 12:18
  reaches Paul Hayman. Yeah. Is she even a better manager than sensational Sherry?
• 12:24
  No right, dear Lord, no right. Sensational Sherry manages botcher Man,
• 12:30
  Randy Savage and Harlem heat Like and Michael and sew. Michael's like a
• 12:35
  lot of the levels to this. Rumble yourself, I know, the ridiculous
• 12:39
  thing people post online when she was on camera for one of the greatest verbal
• 12:46
  botches of all time, right, and didn't didn't flinch, didn't break character,
• 12:56
  had his bag pat him on his shoulder like it's gonna be Ilana,
• 13:01
  No, you'll play. He was not on that level. So I have
• 13:09
  somebody well, Andrew wrote in to the show a question for us. It's
• 13:15
  kind of like a two part of question. I'm gonna play her little bumper
• 13:20
  hair. Would you like to answer a question right at this particular time.
• 13:24
  Would you like to do that talk? There you go, there's your bumper,
• 13:30
  Andrea, I know you want some type of a bumper, and we'll
• 13:33
  give you that one. She asked. Will JD McDonald ever be allowed in
• 13:39
  Judgment Day or will this be another Samson Sammy Zone bloodline situation? Also,
• 13:46
  if Judgment Day is or if JD McDonald is allowed to be in Judgment Day,
• 13:50
  then who do you see being kicked out or leaving? If any at
• 13:54
  all? Uh? You know, I don't. I find it very weird
• 14:00
  that he's hung around this long with this stable and not been a member.
• 14:07
  But if he does join, I don't see anybody who. I don't know
• 14:13
  if anybody leaves, maybe it's due to injury, Like maybe we see somebody
• 14:20
  like Damian Priest written off of TV for a couple of weeks after maybe this
• 14:24
  pay per view and JD kind of takes that place in the in the group
• 14:31
  because him and you know, priests are always the ones that are kind of
• 14:35
  bumping aheads. But without priests in the way and not there for a couple
• 14:39
  of weeks, I could see them allowing him in Judgment Day while he's while
• 14:43
  he's out, you know. Other than that, I don't see them like
• 14:48
  him being worthy to replace anybody. I just see him another member with wearing
• 14:54
  purple and black. You know, he's not worthy enough to boot somebody out
• 15:01
  to replace. Uh, Dre, what do you think are you? Are
• 15:11
  you there? Dre? Yeah? Yeah? Food? Right? Do you
• 15:16
  want Doyle to go? Where you have your food? Do you want I'm
• 15:20
  here? She was asking about JD. I'm here, I'm back now.
• 15:24
  She was asking about j D McDonough. Would he ever get into the Judgment
• 15:28
  Day. I believe I said something to this effect and the discord that uh
• 15:35
  he should at this point like they need to ship or get off the pot
• 15:39
  in terms of that, because I believe this past Monday on Raw it opened
• 15:46
  up with the Judgment Day and then when he when they came out, it
• 15:52
  was I'm not mistaking it was j D McDonough, Real Ripley and and dom
• 15:58
  so the announcer, which sadly was not Samantha or Win this past Monday,
• 16:03
  it was the woman who does the announcement for an XT. She was subbing
• 16:07
  it, so she introduced JD McDonough himself first, and then after that she
• 16:15
  said and representing the Judgment Day, you know, Dom and Rhea. But
• 16:21
  then when we get to the backstage segment, Damian Priest, the guy who's
• 16:26
  so far been the most opposed to JD McDonough joining Judgment Day, he gives
• 16:33
  JD a fizz bump after saying tonight, let's make tonight all about the Judgment
• 16:37
  Day, and he fist bumps JD McDonough without hesitation, like it was cool.
• 16:44
  And then he comes out helps them in the end and all that stuff
• 16:49
  happens. So it's like it's like they're still trying to be indecisive about it,
• 16:56
  like it's not official or is it official or did they just quietly bring
• 17:00
  him in without making it a big deal, So don't They're in this weird
• 17:06
  place where they like they need to they need to either shit or get off
• 17:10
  the pot, like to do it or not do it or kick him out,
• 17:15
  like don't make the mistake of thinking that this JD Judgment Day thing is
• 17:19
  like what Sammy and the Bloodline were, because it's not. It's not that
• 17:23
  it doesn't have that level of interest. JD is not as compelling as Sammy.
• 17:29
  You know, he's a great wrestler. He had a great natural seth
• 17:32
  Robins this past Monday. But this isn't as captivating or interesting enough to where
• 17:37
  y'all need to be dragging this out as far as is he in or not?
• 17:42
  Like, just put him in the fucking group. That's it. Let
• 17:48
  him be in. He's another member and move forward. Nobody's gonna care that
• 17:52
  much one way or the other as far as whether he's in or not.
• 17:56
  And for my money, yeah, just put him in a damn group.
• 18:00
  Doyle, tell me why you completely disagree with everything Draj just said, like
• 18:11
  who gives a ship? It's so it's not I think Drey said it's not
• 18:17
  compelling. Who cares? You know? Like, so I don't think he's
• 18:22
  part of the Judgment Day. But if he is or he isn't, I
• 18:23
  don't give a shit candidate to leave Judgment Day. I would definitely say Damian
• 18:30
  Priest, but we'll talk about him later. And it has nothing to do
• 18:33
  with JD mcdona. But I could see a world maybe in where Finn leaves.
• 18:40
  You know, it's put to him like okay, it's it's JD or
• 18:42
  it's us, and he chooses JD for whatever reason I don't know. Maybe
• 18:47
  he likes potato headed leprechauns or something. I don't know. But yeah,
• 18:53
  I mean, I just I mean, I guess he's a fine enough wrestler,
• 18:56
  but I just don't give a shit about the at all. I really,
• 19:02
  I love the Irish guys. I always love the Irish guys. But
• 19:04
  he's just so fucking fucking laconic and wooden and not very interesting. Yeah,
• 19:15
  yeah, it's true. He like if he if he wasn't here next week,
• 19:22
  I don't think I noticed him, miss him. Yeah, would you
• 19:25
  even notice? Yeah he wouldn't. I don't think so, absolutely not,
• 19:30
  because he hasn't had any substantial role in the judgment day itself. He's just
• 19:36
  been the guy on the side, or he's been the punching bag or the
• 19:40
  assistant, like he's been like if a whole group could have a sidekick,
• 19:47
  he would be that. Like he's that little monkey from the super Friends cartoon.
• 19:55
  Shit, I agree. Uh, oh, God, Crown Jewel.
• 20:02
  We're back here again, the Saudi WrestleMania. I guess this will be the
• 20:08
  fifth one. First started in twenty eighteen. They've re signed a new deal
• 20:15
  in twenty twenty for ten years, so we have a ten year partnership.
• 20:21
  We are here till twenty thirty. Guys, I I'm looking at this card.
• 20:30
  I guess you could say John Cena would be the maybe the the older
• 20:37
  because they always get like an older got part timer to come in. I
• 20:41
  guess that's John Cena this time. Huh, you know normal, Yeah,
• 20:45
  this is the first show, first Saudi show without Brock. Yeah, without
• 20:49
  Brock, without you know, the Undertaker, without Goldberg. You know interesting.
• 21:00
  I mean the card's pretty stacked. Eight matches, it's pretty stacked.
• 21:03
  I don't think it's pretty bloated. So's it is. I don't think they
• 21:07
  uh and there's a few matches that could added, but you know, uh,
• 21:11
  the Intercinental title match maybe even but you know it's not on here.
• 21:17
  They don't. They don't need to a lot of singles matches. Yeah,
• 21:21
  I was gonna say, when was the last time we had so many one
• 21:23
  on one match? I mean, God, forbid we uh defend one of
• 21:26
  the tag belts. Uh. But it's just like it's so many one on
• 21:33
  my I maybe got that one women's cluster fuck, which of course we'll talk
• 21:37
  about. Yeah. I can't remember a pay per view that had just nothing
• 21:41
  but singles matches. It's like, yeah, it's like they sat. No,
• 21:47
  it's not bad. They specifically requested these matches. That's what it looks
• 21:51
  like. Like, you know, it's like like you're picking out matches out
• 21:56
  of a hat, but you totally forget, like you only had eight matches
• 22:00
  to pick from. I mean, it's tough to build a car like that
• 22:04
  ship. Like I totally forgot to put the tag titles in there, the
• 22:08
  Intercontinental title I forgot about. Like it's just bloated roster. Uh, it's
• 22:15
  just what it is. You can only fit so many people in the car.
• 22:19
  Uh, and in one night too, not you know like rustmating its
• 22:25
  two and you and keeping in mind that you have to building in the future
• 22:30
  too. You can't show them everything all at once. Yep, yep,
• 22:33
  Okay, you know, even though this is a big pay per view,
• 22:37
  Uh, this isn't. I don't I still don't think this is one of
• 22:41
  the the main for you know, oh no, not even close, especially
• 22:51
  be in position so close to the Survivors series. There's no way it would
• 22:53
  be that. WW is definitely for now more invested in building trying to build
• 23:00
  up Survivor Series back into being on a similar ground with the Rumble Russell Madian
• 23:07
  SummerSlam, then trying to build up Crown Jewel to be on that level,
• 23:11
  because people just nobody looks at it that way. Everybody just pretty much looks
• 23:17
  at it as it's the Saudi Show where they just do whatever the Saudis wanted
• 23:22
  and just throw a bunch of shit at the wall and maybe we might get
• 23:25
  some storyline for progression in the midst of it. Yeah. Yeah, I
• 23:30
  mean last year the main event was Roman Reigns versus Logan Paul for the undisputed
• 23:37
  WW Championship, and that Logan Paul is back, but for the United States
• 23:42
  Championship. Fuck it, we'll just roll right into it. Ruh. You
• 23:49
  know we're right right into that match, you know, Raimster versus Logan Paul.
• 23:55
  Uh. You know what, Like, I think it'd be a good
• 24:00
  idea. I mean, if they're gonna whether you like it or not like
• 24:04
  he's a heel. Like whether he likes it or not, he's a heel.
• 24:10
  Uh. You know, I think at first when he came to WW,
• 24:14
  he tried to be a face and people just naturally just do not like
• 24:18
  Logan Paul. Uh, not as much as people are led to believe the
• 24:23
  WW universe. Let that be heard. So he's he's got some good heat
• 24:29
  there. So you know, him snatching away a title from Raymond Stereo,
• 24:34
  would it would be pretty cool? Uh? You know, Logan Paul would
• 24:40
  take that with him on the road and you would see the Union the United
• 24:44
  States title pop up on social media all over the place. I could totally
• 24:48
  see why w W would like to showcase the US title. Uh. And
• 24:53
  that could lead to you know, a bigger matter first Survivor series. Uh
• 25:00
  yeah, I don't. I have a couple of ideas but for Logan pol
• 25:07
  later. But anyway, Uh, Drey, what are you? What are
• 25:11
  you thinking Rams versus Logan Paul. You know, I think this would be
• 25:17
  great for Logan Paul. I don't see Ramon you know, as as much
• 25:29
  as I And I'm one of those people who does not like Logan Paul.
• 25:32
  I don't care for the guy. I acknowledge his talent and his natural aptitude
• 25:37
  towards professional wrestling, because us he is a talented wrestler. He's I haven't
• 25:44
  seen a guy come out of nowhere and take to this sport as quickly as
• 25:47
  he has since arguably Kurt Angle like he's he's that much of a natural at
• 25:53
  this, So I give him that, and I kind of agree with you.
• 26:00
  I could see them putting the title on him, even though as a
• 26:06
  wrestling fan, I don't like that because he's not full time. He's still
• 26:11
  part time. Like if I had seen him be on TV wrestling matches on
• 26:18
  Raw or SmackDown for like a few weeks or at least a month leading into
• 26:23
  this to where I believed he was going to be on television, or you
• 26:27
  know, giving us at least at least a few months run kind of like
• 26:33
  what scene is doing now during the Screen Actors Guild strike and something like that,
• 26:37
  then I would probably be more receptive to Logan Paul winning a title because
• 26:42
  at least I know we're going to get at least some kind of run out
• 26:45
  of it and some kind of work from him out of it other than just
• 26:48
  a single match pop up here and there, So in that regard, I
• 26:53
  don't necessarily want him to win the title, but I kind of agree with
• 26:59
  you when it says that I think he probably will win the title for all
• 27:03
  the reasons that you mentioned, just for that crossover media thing. He can
• 27:08
  be out there making media appearances as the ww United States Champion, rocking the
• 27:15
  belt all over the place, putting it in people's eyes. Although I would
• 27:21
  argue that doesn't do shit for the belt itself again from a wrestling standpoint,
• 27:27
  because you just having a belt and just showing up places with it, what's
• 27:33
  that really doing. It's not really doing shit for the title itself. Titles
• 27:37
  are built on the stories. They're built on matches, they're built on the
• 27:41
  feuds, They're built on moments. That's what builds a title. The reason
• 27:45
  why the Intercontinental titles as prestigious as it is now is because Gunter has been
• 27:51
  out here having freaking four and a half five star matches is week after week
• 27:56
  defending the shit out of that title. That's why. The reason why the
• 28:00
  US title has been freaking nut hair above the old European title recently is because
• 28:10
  nothing's been done with it of any substance and any potential that it has had
• 28:15
  to be something of significance to be involved in a storyline that matters or something
• 28:21
  like that gets wasted because they want to throw it on the old mask man.
• 28:25
  And I'm not gonna rant on that again, but yeah, I could
• 28:29
  see it happening. I would be okay with Logan Paul winning the title if
• 28:34
  he drops it at Survivor Series whoever, or if yeah, if he either
• 28:40
  drops it at Survivor Series or if he's a regular on WWE television for like
• 28:45
  the rest of the year at least from now like now through the Rumble,
• 28:49
  then I'd be okay with it. But if he's just gonna pop up have
• 28:53
  the title or win the title and then we don't see him again on SmackDown
• 29:00
  for like, you know, weeks on end, then no, that's a
• 29:03
  waste. Yeah, Like I could see Logan Paul with a short run,
• 29:11
  you know, from here to Survivors Series and be a transitional heeled champion because
• 29:15
  whoever takes it off rate's gonna get a massive heat, you know, and
• 29:21
  what better person get that massive heat than Logan Paul and then lose it to
• 29:25
  somebody who's they're turning into a massive face. But Doyle, what do you
• 29:33
  what do you think? Yeah, I mean I think I've said on these
• 29:37
  here airwaves that if Logan Paul stuck around doing this wrestling thing, they'd put
• 29:44
  a championship on them. Well, I think we're there, you know.
• 29:48
  I think that's exactly what's gonna happen. You know, Ray's title reign has
• 29:53
  been pretty lackluster, you know, and I think you both said the US
• 29:59
  JAP ship in general, it's just been pretty lackluster really since Lashly had it.
• 30:06
  You know. But I think the product, the prospect of Logan Paul,
• 30:10
  you know, doing his podcast and walking on red carpets and going to
• 30:14
  influencer conventions or whatever the fuck it is. Influencers do that, you know,
• 30:18
  that mainstream attention. I always talk about how they you know, that's
• 30:22
  like a drug to them, you know, and I think that's just way
• 30:26
  too tempted. Uh. You know what, I really like Logan Paul's wrestling
• 30:32
  character. I don't know anything about him outside of wrestling, uh what.
• 30:37
  I love his wrestling character, and he's really good at this, you know,
• 30:41
  and you know, putting the title on David Arquette is a publicity stunt,
• 30:45
  you know, whereas this is not because Logan Paul can do this,
• 30:49
  you know, Like granted, he has the benefit of taking one match to
• 30:53
  the time and having his handheld by Shawn Michaels, you know, but you
• 31:02
  know, it's it's not just sticking on a celebrity for the hell of it.
• 31:04
  You know, this guy can actually uh professionally wrestle. Uh. You
• 31:08
  know, and kind of like Dray said, my only real trepidation with this
• 31:11
  move would be, you know, we already have one absentee champion on SmackDown
• 31:18
  in Roman reigns. You know, I assume that if they put the title
• 31:22
  on Logan Paul, they've worked something out with him where he's going to be
• 31:23
  around uh, you know every week for eight weeks or six out of eight
• 31:29
  weeks or something. Uh. I feel pretty confident that they'll do that,
• 31:33
  if that's the route they decide to go. Uh. But yeah, I
• 31:37
  think there's maybe a quick little title title, a little quick little title reign.
• 31:42
  Uh you know, maybe eight weeks, like I said, Uh,
• 31:45
  and then I could see maybe maybe Santo's goes after Logan Paul to avenge Rae
• 31:52
  or maybe he costs the ray the title turning heel, but I wouldn't be
• 31:57
  shocked if it's l A Night that ends up beating Logan Paul. That makes
• 32:01
  all the sense in the world. But that will be another podcast for another
• 32:07
  day. But until then, I think Logan Paul is coming home as US
• 32:10
  champion. Yeah, that last thought you brought up. I kind of had
• 32:15
  the same thought that they use like both you've kind of alluded to. They
• 32:20
  use Logan Paul as a transitional heel champion, and that's how we get La
• 32:24
  Knight's first title Reign Survivor series La Knight versus Logan Paul one that when it
• 32:30
  kind of makes sense. They're both high profile, they're both gold on the
• 32:35
  MIC. It'd probably be the most interesting person you could put in front of
• 32:43
  in front of La Knight for a substantial feud after he's concluded his business with
• 32:49
  whatever with Roman now again assuming that they're not involved in a war Games match,
• 32:54
  but again that's down the line. We'll get to that. But if
• 32:58
  he's involved in a singles program in the sviber series, yeah, La Knight
• 33:01
  versus Logan Paul for the US title kind of makes a whole lot of sense,
• 33:06
  and it would be a damn good match, and Gooden, I mean,
• 33:10
  Logan Paul could really lean into the heel aspect because Laen Knight's gonna be
• 33:15
  over as fuck. That match would absolutely be on fire because of their big
• 33:22
  exist about as far on the opposite end of the spectrum as possible. Yeah,
• 33:27
  it makes a lot of sense. And then that moment when he finally
• 33:30
  wins and he becomes you as a champion, Oh, that pop would be
• 33:34
  massive. Yeah, I was saying the same thing, but like I was
• 33:38
  like, Okay, why don't want to talk about it until we discuss el
• 33:42
  A Knight later. But like when you think of like the next person who
• 33:47
  would have to face Logan Paul free United States title, you immediately think la
• 33:52
  Knight, Like there's nobody else on there like that would fit that that next
• 33:59
  stepping zone And like to Surber series, if you're gonna get anything out of
• 34:04
  losing to Roman, which I'm going to assume we're all going to predict,
• 34:07
  is what's going to happen? Uh, you do it by saying I was
• 34:13
  right. You know, I was within a split second of beating Roman reigns.
• 34:15
  If I can do that to him, I could certainly beat you,
• 34:17
  you know, yeah, yeah, yeah, because you know you didn't beat
• 34:22
  him last year either, you know, yeah exactly, and that that that
• 34:27
  that feud is almost too easy not to do. We're writing it. We're
• 34:30
  doing it, guys. Ah all right, Uh you know probably the show
• 34:37
  opener, which I'm guessing would be, uh Sammy Zain versus j D.
• 34:43
  McDonald. I believe that's the pre show. That's gonna be the that's where
• 34:49
  Okay, I see it one. He apprecio. Yeah that I mean that
• 34:53
  one. Can we all agree, Sammy Zane, Yeah, that's that's that's
• 34:59
  a raw man. Yes, that's it'll be a good match several times.
• 35:06
  Yeah, it'll be a good match. It'll be something to live in up
• 35:08
  the crowd. But that's that's light work for Sammy saying that's light work.
• 35:14
  He should easily win that match. Yeah, okay, So opening match will
• 35:20
  say singles match for the World Heavyweight title seth freaking Rollins versus Drew McIntyre.
• 35:28
  Now, this pay per view on paper, it looks very fucking good,
• 35:34
  like, you know, chances wise, the story wise for for guys like
• 35:39
  l A. Knight, for guys like Drew McIntyre. You know, this
• 35:44
  was another one. That's that's very I don't know, it's it's believable that,
• 35:47
  you know, Drew never had the chance to win the heavyweight title in
• 35:53
  front of a crowd of big audience because you know, if you don't know,
• 35:59
  he it during COVID times, during the Thunderdome era. That was a
• 36:05
  terrible time in our lives. I tried not to think about it. It
• 36:08
  was actually before the Thunderdome era. It was there was like nothing right around.
• 36:13
  Yeah, yes, it was absolutely nothing. Yeah, dude, you're
• 36:20
  right. That was the awkward Wrestlemingian the quietestmania, like everything had shut down
• 36:24
  like a week and a half of what that. Yeah, it was it
• 36:30
  was rough. Oh yeah, I'm glad it's over. I'm glad, you
• 36:36
  know, we never have to do it again, hopefully not. But yeah,
• 36:40
  he I mean I totally get drew story, Like I totally get his
• 36:46
  feeling for like, oh man, like not winning it in front of a
• 36:49
  big crowd. This isn't WrestleMania, but this is the wish dot Com of
• 36:58
  WrestleMania, the wrestny esque. So you know, I'm pretty sure we're gonna
• 37:07
  get Seth Rollins walking out again as champion. But if there was gonna be
• 37:14
  a title change, I really am leaning towards this one, Drew McIntyre.
• 37:20
  It's just the story is there, and it would you know, I keep
• 37:23
  harping to it because Seth is just a workhorse, like giving him some much
• 37:30
  needed time off. But he just lost their NXC Women's title, like just
• 37:35
  stepping down as World Heavyweight Championship. You know this is this is perfect timing
• 37:42
  for him to step down. They both can take some time off, both
• 37:45
  losing some titles back to back. Drew gets his win in front of a
• 37:51
  big crowd, and you know, his contracts up in five months, five
• 37:58
  months and he still hasn't resigned. So maybe this small title run will give
• 38:06
  him, you know, keep him hungering, make him want to stay,
• 38:10
  help him persuade him to stay. Ah, you know, we could be
• 38:16
  you know, I could be completely wrong and it just goes right to Seth
• 38:20
  and sets Us keeps on being the workhorse all the way to Survivor series and
• 38:24
  you know, drops it to somebody else and then you know, Drew just
• 38:30
  loses and becomes very unhappy and when his contracts up, he goes like it
• 38:36
  could totally go that way Drew, What do you think? Yeah, I
• 38:43
  just don't see Drew winning this match. He nothing about him and not a
• 38:50
  knock on him as a rescip nothing about him or this storyline that that's happening
• 38:55
  right now with him. Nothing about it, says new World Heavyweight Champion to
• 39:01
  me. Nothing. The only way I could even see it remotely happening is
• 39:07
  if he did it and joined the Judgment Day. That's the only That's the
• 39:13
  only thing that seems to make sense to me, because it seems like as
• 39:17
  as major as the Judgment Day is right now, as them being the top
• 39:21
  heel faction, it just seems like that World Heavyweight Championship is destined to end
• 39:27
  up in that faction at some point, and it's like, you know,
• 39:35
  they're gonna get it whether you like it or not. It just seems like
• 39:38
  that's that's the direction that they're heading. Is just a matter of how are
• 39:42
  they going to pull it off and who are they going to put it on.
• 39:45
  I mean, some of us thought they were going to put it on
• 39:46
  Finn when he was when he was one of the first people to feud with
• 39:52
  Seth. That turned out not to be the case. I thought they should
• 39:54
  have done it at a fast Lane in the last pay per view with Damian
• 40:00
  and he still seems to me he's still if I was a betting man of
• 40:02
  the odds on favorite person to be the next World Heavyweight Champion in my opinion.
• 40:08
  But yeah, I just I just don't see Drew just winning it and
• 40:14
  just becoming World Heavyweight Champion, because then what like where we're at in his
• 40:21
  storyline and his character story isn't becoming the world heavweight champion. They're still kind
• 40:28
  of straddling the fence on whether he's a full on heel or a babyface,
• 40:32
  like they're just just now finally starting to tilt towards him being a heel.
• 40:37
  And I don't see him beating Seth Robinson becoming World Heavyweight Champion as the thing
• 40:43
  that puts him all the way in the heel side, unless he joins the
• 40:47
  Judgment Day as champion, and then you run some storyline where there's this interesting
• 40:52
  dynamic of the new guy in the Judgment Day is the world heavyweight champion and
• 40:58
  his biggest threat lie within that very faction mister Money in the Bank Damien Priest.
• 41:04
  Yeah, which that could make for some interesting storytelling. It's definitely something
• 41:08
  some interesting storytelling intention to be had there, but I just don't see it.
• 41:15
  Yeah, I just don't see it. I think Seth Rollins walks out
• 41:17
  to champion again. The storyline for Drew is that he loses and that just
• 41:22
  pushes him further towards the dark side or further into being a Hell Yeah,
• 41:30
  I totally forgot the Judgment Day stickler with with you know, him talking their
• 41:37
  Ria backstage a lot hit his odd relationship with her. You know, she's
• 41:43
  she's had some odd relationships with some people outside of Judgment Day, you know
• 41:46
  Jay Husso as well. You know, she's keep your eye on that one.
• 41:55
  But yeah, just day, I can't believe I totally forgot that that
• 42:00
  that's a wild card like him joining and you know, this would be odd
• 42:05
  being most of factions are built around the World Heavyweight Champion. This is weird
• 42:10
  where the faction has already been built from the ground up from the you know,
• 42:17
  I believe their first title in their faction was was the North American title,
• 42:22
  and then the women's and tag team and so on. That was the
• 42:30
  first one. She went to Tilt WrestleMania and UH American title until like sometime
• 42:37
  over the summer, That's right, and then it was like a domino effect,
• 42:40
  so you know, uh that that would be cool, like you know,
• 42:45
  if the World's Heavyweight title is the last one, like you know,
• 42:49
  like the Infinity Stones, like this is to finish the Gauntlet of of titles,
• 42:53
  you know that that's that they can get. Uh. And then dude,
• 42:58
  yeah, you're so right that that wild card that you know, Damian
• 43:02
  Priest having that there and you know, unless you know he's written off for
• 43:08
  a while with an injury after you know, said match tonight. But Doyle,
• 43:15
  let's get you in here. What do you think? What are you
• 43:17
  thinking? I believe numerous occasions I have picked against Seth Rollins and have been
• 43:27
  wrong on numerous occasions. So I'm going to bury the lead and I'm gonna
• 43:31
  pick Seth Rawlins, which may be ensure that someone other than Seth Rawlins leaves
• 43:38
  with the World Heavyweight Championship. Yeah, well, you guys in said,
• 43:44
  I'm talking about Judgment Day and Drew they she's been trying to recruit Seth Also,
• 43:52
  Yeah, it kind of reminds me of Summer Slam ninety two. If
• 43:58
  you want to think back that far when the Ultimate Warrior was facing Macho Man
• 44:02
  for his w w F championship, as you may recall, and Flair and
• 44:09
  Perfect on the outside playing mind games. They had the Warrior thinking they were
• 44:14
  gonna help Savage, and Savage ought they were going to help the Warrior.
• 44:19
  And it kind of reminds me of that with Rhya Ripley. You know,
• 44:22
  she's kind of trying to recruit both of them. I guess Drew seems a
• 44:27
  little more receptive to it. But I mean, how many times has somebody
• 44:30
  said no, I'm not going to do that, then they totally do it.
• 44:36
  But you know what, what what is her end game? You know?
• 44:40
  You know that's the question. I know, if we look back at
• 44:44
  history, it isn't much help turned out a Flair and Perfect weren't aligned with
• 44:47
  either Warrior or Savage, and their involvement pretty much just fucked up the ending
• 44:53
  of it. Otherwise not so bad match. So what's re up to?
• 45:00
  I don't know if we're even gonna get that answer on Saturday. We might
• 45:04
  not, and you know it wouldn't be surprising me if we don't. It
• 45:09
  probably has something to do with Priest cashing in. But maybe it doesn't.
• 45:15
  I've kind of been a priest, as I said before, kind of been
• 45:17
  a priest, is getting thrown out of the judgment, out of the judgment
• 45:22
  day Truther for a little while now. And I'm also not sure he's gonna
• 45:29
  successfully cash in. Uh you know, I like Priest fine, but I
• 45:34
  just don't. I don't love him, and I don't see him as a
• 45:36
  world champion. I really don't, you know. I think like Elimination Chamber
• 45:40
  participant, maybe Rumble Final four certainly make money in the bank winner. I
• 45:45
  think that's kind of his ceiling, you know. In other words, I
• 45:49
  think he could, he could challenge for a world title, but I don't
• 45:52
  know if he's ever gonna make it there. But we'll put a pin in
• 45:55
  Priest for a second. I really want to see Drew turn a heel.
• 46:00
  We've talked about that. I feel like the last five episodes we've done,
• 46:07
  and I mean it's certainly been hints of that. I could kind of see
• 46:08
  him doing like like Brett Hart did in ninety seven, where like he was
• 46:15
  healed in the US but a babyface internationally, you know, And we've got
• 46:20
  a bunch of international shows coming up. You know, we do two Saundi
• 46:23
  shows every year. We've got Australia coming, Germany. You know, France
• 46:29
  is rumored, So I could see a scenario where Drew does a does a
• 46:35
  heal in the State's baby Face Abroad kind of deal. But the monkey wrench
• 46:43
  here, you know, is Drew's dirt you know, contract situation if you
• 46:49
  believe what the dirt sheets say. So, you know, do you think
• 46:52
  they're gonna more likely to make him give him the title to try to make
• 46:57
  him happy or less likely because they don't want to put the title on someone
• 47:00
  that's not signed up long term. That's the question. But I think all
• 47:07
  that's a mood point because I think Seth is gonna win somehow, some way,
• 47:12
  And really, besides Gunther and maybe EO, he's kind of the only
• 47:15
  person whose title run is worth a goddamn right now. Everybody else none of
• 47:22
  the other title rains are very good, and I wasn't expecting much out of
• 47:27
  this title reign from Seth, and he's really proved me wrong. I think
• 47:34
  I would say it's it's been a bit of a slow burn with it,
• 47:37
  even though again I still think it should have ended at fast Lane. But
• 47:44
  It is one of those things that he's he's building it through the work as
• 47:47
  opposed to the Fuse themselves. The feuds have been kind of so so the
• 47:54
  Shenskate him with Shinskate Alcamore kind of started off really hot and and interesting kind
• 48:00
  yeah, but kind of fizzled out towards the end. Damian Priest, I
• 48:07
  kind of disagree with you. I think I can see him as world champion
• 48:10
  material. I just think WW has H has kind of dropped the ball with
• 48:17
  him a little bit in terms of they haven't really capitalized on some of that
• 48:22
  momentum that he had earlier this year, coming out of Backlash where he had
• 48:30
  the great match with excuse me with Bad Bunny, and then from there he
• 48:35
  moved on to winning the Money in the Bank ladder match. He had a
• 48:39
  lot of momentum going and he was being built up and at that point he
• 48:44
  was seen as a legitimate contender. He had more juice when he was the
• 48:51
  US champion a couple of years ago. I thought, I feel like,
• 48:55
  I mean the money in the back briefcase. Notwithstanding, I think he had
• 49:00
  much more momentum back then then. You probably could have sold me on it.
• 49:06
  This version of Gamian Priest. I just don't see it. That may
• 49:10
  be true, but I wasn't watching it at that time, so I can't
• 49:13
  speak to it. But that may be true. But I've seen the ascension
• 49:16
  of him rising up and separating himself out from the rest of the roster is
• 49:23
  what I saw from again, the match he had with Bad Bunny and then
• 49:27
  winning the Money in the Bank, he was starting to stand out from the
• 49:30
  rest. And to me, when you can stand out from the crowd and
• 49:34
  you're not just seeing as just another guy on the roster, to me,
• 49:37
  that's when you start to have champion material written on you and not. And
• 49:45
  after that point, he's just kind of just plateaued, and I think that's
• 49:50
  where they've messed up at He just kind of has been missed the money in
• 49:52
  the bank but hasn't done anything much with it other than just be a member
• 49:58
  of the judgment day when tag Team titles with with Finn Balord, which doesn't
• 50:02
  do anything for you as a singles chip competitor, and the money to make
• 50:07
  brief base has just kind of become an accessory and not really and he's not
• 50:14
  even in control of it because it's it's Rhea that tells him what to do
• 50:19
  and when to do it and when not to do it right, and I
• 50:22
  mean which, yeah, which doesn't do him any favors. Even just like
• 50:27
  I said, yeah, there was a way too that they could have still
• 50:31
  spun that into a good story. As I laid out in our last episode,
• 50:35
  I think had they gone a different direction with the booking and the storyline
• 50:38
  storytelling, there's a way that this could have been done. But they just
• 50:45
  I don't know if it's just their creative juices are kind of lacking right now,
• 50:50
  or if they're focused on other things, but yeah, they're they're kind
• 50:52
  of dropping the ball with Damian Priests in my opinion, Like I feel like
• 50:57
  his momentum that he had with a lot of stuff. Oh yeah, I
• 51:02
  don't know if it's it's like they're like holding it for like a bigger pay
• 51:07
  per view, a bigger paper. He's just like keep holding these storylines back
• 51:12
  until we get yeah yeah, and they throw these things out Yeah, they
• 51:15
  throw these things out there. They tease something, but then they never develop
• 51:20
  on it any further. Like when we had like the whole uh rear Ripley
• 51:25
  and Paul Hayman sit down where they had that song. Ain't ship came from
• 51:31
  that sense when she was talking to Paul Haymen, somebody you will acknowledge me
• 51:37
  and all this stuff, I was like, oh, oh they about to
• 51:40
  Oh this ship about to get real spicy over here. I'm like, you
• 51:44
  know, all these folks out here talking real reckless and acting all crazy while
• 51:47
  Roman Wayings is away. I'm like, he about to come back and you
• 51:52
  know, get the check and everybody re establish himselff like there was something there
• 51:55
  and nothing. Nothing's happening again. I don't know if it's because Crowdjewel is
• 52:01
  almost like in the way, so they had the book for Crowdjewel and some
• 52:06
  of these other threads are just kind of falling by the wayside, and maybe
• 52:08
  they'll get picked up after Crowdjewel. We'll see. Yeah, I wouldn't be
• 52:13
  surprised if that's what happens. I would I certainly hope so. But man,
• 52:16
  in the MEANTIME'M like, I don't know this. Some of these things
• 52:22
  are just feeling real fragmented and not feeling like they're following a natural linear progression
• 52:30
  that people can follow. It's just kind of more hopscotch no now you're venting.
• 52:45
  It sounds like you were venting. I don't want to interrupt you.
• 52:51
  Yeah, I mean Drew definitely needs a fresh coat of paint one way or
• 52:54
  the other. So I feel like we've been talking about that for a while.
• 53:00
  But yeah, he needs that. He'll turn like you said, he
• 53:02
  needs it. Yeah, and I kind of I really hope he does resign.
• 53:07
  I would like, you know, you know, I don't want to
• 53:13
  see him go to another company. I mean, he would thrive in aw,
• 53:16
  but like wod you though, I feel like he'd get lost in the
• 53:21
  shuffle because yeah, so many people they are very yeah now like we're talking
• 53:28
  like a like three years ago, absolutely, because that's you know, but
• 53:32
  now they're so bloated it seems like, oh, it's ridiculous. I could
• 53:37
  see him coming in and if any if anybody could come in and like immediately
• 53:43
  become a champion, I could see it being Drew McIntire, Is Drew McIntire
• 53:45
  even his real name, no, oh, well, never mind, man,
• 53:51
  then he might be fucked. Like if he can't walk into a w
• 53:53
  as Drew McIntire, if he has to walk in as wherever the hell he
• 53:57
  really is Andrew oh no, no, no, no, never mind,
• 54:01
  never mind, Andrew Galloway is not a w champion. Galloway on the Indians
• 54:09
  don't hit the same though his real name was Drew McIntire, and he was
• 54:15
  Drew McIntyre walking into a W I could see him walking and then and them
• 54:19
  pulling like a surprise day one walking immediately world champion like m JF has the
• 54:27
  defendis titling against a mystery opponent, Boom, drewe. McIntire comes in,
• 54:30
  beats him, immediately become champion, like I could see them doing that for
• 54:34
  somebody of his caliber of superstar. But that's Galloway, true, Galloway would
• 54:42
  I think be hit. Drew Galloway ain't hitting like that. I mean,
• 54:50
  just like if if Seth left, he would be what the hell was his
• 54:54
  name, Indie name ship something black shaite, shit fuck, I can't remember
• 55:02
  what his name was, but whatever the Tyler Black, Tyler Black, it
• 55:08
  would be Tyler Black. Yeah, yeah, oh yeah yeah. Seth would
• 55:15
  struggle because and even though I could see fans still trying to do that chant
• 55:22
  with him and at another arenas and stuff like that, if he even if
• 55:25
  he wasn't in w W and I could see a w trying to come up
• 55:30
  with some sort of theme for him that's similar enough but not so similar that
• 55:34
  they get sued, just so they can try to hold onto that chant.
• 55:37
  It's like, hey, don't blame us, it's the crowd. We can't
• 55:38
  control what the crowd does. Maybe and Tyler Black is enough of a name
• 55:44
  that I can see work. But Andrew Galloway no, no, no,
• 55:47
  no, Adam Copeland name yeah yeah, and he's still the rated ar.
• 55:55
  He managed to get rated R superstar. He got the music due to the
• 56:00
  music was the key thing. M hm damn. Yeah, yeah, that
• 56:06
  works for him. But anyway, let's let's roll right into the Women's World
• 56:13
  Heavy World Championship match. Ria Ripley versus Naya Jacks versus Shannon Basler versus Zoe
• 56:20
  Start versus Raquel Rodriguez. Fatal five way, that's all that's weird. You
• 56:27
  know, I like fatal four ways, but because then that Rick could easily
• 56:32
  just it seems like she's been manipulating them to attack each other on each episode
• 56:40
  of all that we've gotten with them. I don't know, this is a
• 56:45
  pretty stacked card for her, you know, I kind of I'm interested in
• 56:51
  this match, but I you know, I think Ria is gonna come out
• 56:54
  on top. She's gonna be able to. I don't even know who would
• 56:59
  take the pin. She's She's put away almost every one of these girls at
• 57:05
  some point right in their career. Uh. I don't know who's gonna eat
• 57:09
  the pin for this, but I think she's gonna still come out on top.
• 57:14
  Uh. And I think these girls are just gonna continue to feud with
• 57:17
  each other. They're all heels, well Priquel isn't, but it's always kind
• 57:28
  of in between. She's she's kind of straddling the fence right now. Zoe
• 57:31
  doesn't know what the hell she wants to be anymore. She's a heel and
• 57:37
  it's straight up, She's just the heel. But like we've seen Ria is
• 57:40
  she though because she got the face I don't know, she kind of got
• 57:45
  the face pop when she turned on Trish and then that seemingly teasing of a
• 57:51
  team up with her and Shanna Basler seemed to get some pretty more positive reactions
• 57:58
  than Booze Man, like after they had their match and they shook hands,
• 58:01
  and then the following week in Norfolk, when Zoe came to help Shana.
• 58:07
  She kind of got more of a pop than a booze. So we're rat
• 58:13
  Okay, We're at the arena right We're watching wrestling and Zoe Stark music hits
• 58:20
  and she comes running out. Are you booing? Just off of like pure
• 58:25
  instinct? Are you booing her? Or are you cheering? I'm cheering her
• 58:30
  because I'm a fan. It's always start. But I'm saying I'm not saying
• 58:32
  she's full on babyface. I'm saying she's kind of in between. She's strolling
• 58:37
  that fence. I think I think right now they're undecided on whether they want
• 58:44
  to fully make her heel or if they want to try to turn her heel.
• 58:47
  So they're kind of playing her in the middle ground and seeing where the
• 58:51
  crowd goes with her. That's where I think they're at with her as far
• 58:53
  as her character, because if she's in that match and she gets the whooping
• 58:59
  on on Naya Jacks, what do you think the crowd's gonna do. They're
• 59:02
  gonna cheer Zoe. Sorry, now she get that going out there and stomping
• 59:07
  out Raquel Rodriguez, then she might get booed out, booed a little bit
• 59:12
  or she tried to throw hands with Rhea, depending on maybe what Ria did
• 59:15
  thirty seconds before, she could get cheered or booed. So I think it
• 59:20
  kind of depends on who they they pit Zoe up against. She's not somebody
• 59:24
  that the crowd's going to necessarily react depending on what's done to her, but
• 59:30
  they'll react to her depending on what she's doing to somebody else and who that
• 59:35
  is that she's doing it too. You know what I totally figure out about.
• 59:42
  It's weird that I would forget about this, but being where they are,
• 59:47
  the outfits that they're gonna have to wear fully clothed, fully clothed,
• 59:53
  the three excel her larger than the average shirt. You know, it's like
• 1:00:02
  it's like wearing a big onesie. But yeah, that's what nia Jack swears
• 1:00:07
  anyway, so she'll be fine. Yeah, but no no seat through laced
• 1:00:10
  parts of it. Yeah yeah, so I even say that's in that positive
• 1:00:16
  Yeah, you know, I don't. I don't even know, like what
• 1:00:22
  other I don't know the this is normally something that Natalia is always on our
• 1:00:27
  card like this, yeah, not this year, but yeah, Doyle,
• 1:00:37
  who do you think, well, Dre, who do you think is gonna
• 1:00:39
  come out on top. I mean, did you did you say you give
• 1:00:43
  your thousand? Zoe? Sorry? But do you do you think it's gonna
• 1:00:45
  be real? I mean it should be obviously, anybody with half a brain
• 1:00:51
  that shanea Bass walking out his champion, I'm joking. No, tell me,
• 1:00:58
  don't go back on your word. You tell me why Shanan Besler would
• 1:01:01
  be perfect. First of all, she would not be perfect the champion.
• 1:01:06
  She's not winning, obviously, Rea Ripley's walking out. This match is basically,
• 1:01:10
  how can we put our top singles competitors on Raw, excluding Becky Lynch?
• 1:01:16
  How can we put them all in a substantial match and not make anybody
• 1:01:21
  look weak? Put them all in one match. That way, nobody looks
• 1:01:25
  weak coming out of it. Weird. Ripley finally defends the fucking title and
• 1:01:30
  wins without making somebody look weak by beating the shit out of them. That's
• 1:01:35
  pretty much all this is. It's a showcase, it's kind of it is
• 1:01:40
  what it is. And I think they probably, especially since they've been spending
• 1:01:45
  more time focusing on real Ripley being the leader not leader of Judgment Day,
• 1:01:50
  than putting her in an actual feud with somebody. So they're just going to
• 1:01:55
  do this and they'll probably use this as a way to build her up again
• 1:02:00
  as being the most dominant women on the on raw. She beat five people
• 1:02:05
  in the match, YadA, YadA, whatever. Whatever this is. This
• 1:02:09
  is just that, Like, there's no there's not really much intrigue or mystery
• 1:02:15
  to this match. She's she's gonna win. I mean, the only thing
• 1:02:20
  that you could the only thing that's interesting is if you're putting money on who's
• 1:02:23
  gonna take the pen like we discussed, like you mentioned earlier, who's gonna
• 1:02:28
  be the one that reoppends to win. That's that's where the betting money is
• 1:02:31
  at. That's where over sports books are at. Like, ain't no,
• 1:02:35
  ain't no odds on who's gonna win. It's who she's gonna pin. If
• 1:02:38
  I had to put a bet on it, I'm gonna say it's probably I
• 1:02:43
  kind of want to say it's probably Zowai Stark who winds up taking it.
• 1:02:46
  Probably Zoe, But honestly know, I'm actually gonna put money off Roquel Robbery.
• 1:02:51
  If I had to put money on it, I'll put it off Rackael
• 1:02:52
  rob Yeah. You know what they like these wrestlers. If you're looking at
• 1:02:58
  the car uh for this match, it's like there's gonna be a lot of
• 1:03:01
  just spots because a lot of these girls can't put on a full match,
• 1:03:07
  a good one anyway, and and that's what Rie is there for. So
• 1:03:10
  this just seems like a spot match. We're gonna see so and so pick
• 1:03:15
  up. You know, I want to predict right now, everybody in that
• 1:03:21
  match picks up Nia Jacks at least once. Uh, all them up at
• 1:03:25
  least once. Yeah, yeah, I didn't. I think I think they're
• 1:03:32
  gonna try to one up each other with Nia Jacks, like, oh I
• 1:03:36
  can pick her up. Oh no, I can pick her up too,
• 1:03:38
  Like, oh no, I can pick her up as well. And this
• 1:03:42
  everybody's just gonna pick up Nia Jacks. Uh. I figured they were gonna
• 1:03:47
  do the whole pyramid souplex power. Yeah. Yeah, it's one or the
• 1:03:57
  other. It's either gonna be utterly ridiculous or they're gonna Yeah, they're gonna
• 1:04:00
  have one massive spot with her, and she's gonna be the one massive spot
• 1:04:05
  that's gonna put her out of the match, you know. And that's another
• 1:04:10
  one where you can put your sportsbecs on Who's gonna be the one who delivers
• 1:04:14
  the power bomb in that spot? Is it Real on the bottom power bombing
• 1:04:16
  Nya Jacks? Who then has who's superplexing two or the other ones? Or
• 1:04:23
  is it Naya Jacks on the bottom delivering the power bomb to somebody? Or
• 1:04:27
  is it Raquel Rodriguez delivering the power bomb? Mm hmmm, because it's gonna
• 1:04:32
  be one of those three on the bottom delivering the power bomb. And my
• 1:04:36
  guess is I would think Naya Jacks would be the super it's gonna be in
• 1:04:41
  this yeah, taking it. She's gonna be in the superplexed position, probably
• 1:04:45
  with two other superstars. She's gonna like a double yep. Joel, tell
• 1:04:51
  me why uh off? Eric, you told me that you were super confident
• 1:04:57
  that Nia Jackson was gonna win this match. I think they would need to
• 1:05:03
  put an extension on the belt for her like they did for hundred the Giant
• 1:05:09
  when he Anyway, Yeah, I mean fucking Rhea is incredible. She's probably
• 1:05:15
  my favorite female performer currently. And then saying a lot because I fucking love
• 1:05:21
  Bianca and you know I also love my Irish last kisser Kicker. But that
• 1:05:28
  being said, this title run of hers has been pretty pretty pretty not so
• 1:05:35
  great. Uh, it's not really her fault, uh, you know,
• 1:05:39
  it's more of a function of you know, lack of credible opponents not named
• 1:05:44
  Becky Lynch. You know, she's so much better than everybody else on the
• 1:05:48
  raw roster except BEGGI lyunch, I should say. And that's I think why
• 1:05:54
  we're kind of getting this dumpster fire match here, because none of these challenges,
• 1:05:58
  by themselves are really do double opponents for Riha at this point. I
• 1:06:00
  mean, she's beaten Raquel how many times. Now, Naya's terrible, she's
• 1:06:10
  just big. It's always a rookie. And Shana really hasn't done anything to
• 1:06:15
  make me think that she would have a fucking chance in hell against Rhya Ripley.
• 1:06:20
  Yeah, somebody I think Wayne mentioned the you know, it's basically Raquel
• 1:06:28
  and three heels. You know, and Ria, who is a heel,
• 1:06:30
  but she's you know, she's a leader of a heel faction. She's close,
• 1:06:34
  you know, very closely aligned with the healiest heel that ever healed in
• 1:06:40
  Dom. Yet she gets a ton of cheers. You know, she's kind
• 1:06:44
  of one of the only performers right now that it's kind of like a tweener.
• 1:06:47
  You know, in this day and age, for the most part,
• 1:06:51
  faces are getting cheered and heels are getting booed. We're kind of the audience.
• 1:06:56
  We as an audience are more or less following the rules, say like
• 1:07:00
  we're supposed to be, you know, whereas twenty years ago, I think
• 1:07:04
  you know, you know, or even more recently than that, you know,
• 1:07:09
  you bowed the ship out of you know, Sina, you know what
• 1:07:12
  I mean. You know, you cheered the heels and you were booing the
• 1:07:15
  faces. But nowadays, I think, you know, if scene is even
• 1:07:17
  getting getting a mostly positive response these days. So it's strange that she's one
• 1:07:28
  of the only people that can kind of straddle that line. So yeah,
• 1:07:31
  I mean that that that dynamic will be something I'll have my eye on.
• 1:07:38
  I mean, they keep trying to make something out of Roquel, so I
• 1:07:41
  expect them. I expect her to be and her struggle, you know,
• 1:07:45
  to be kind of a focal point of the match. Yeah, but at
• 1:07:48
  the end of the day, Ray is going to retain and you know,
• 1:07:53
  I think she's going to hold the title till Becky beats at WrestleMania forty.
• 1:07:59
  So yeah, I think he's gonna win, and I think she's gonna keep
• 1:08:01
  winning, and we are getting a Tower of Doom. But how long?
• 1:08:09
  How long can they keep Riya and Becky lynch apart? Like I said,
• 1:08:15
  I I think that, you know, probably WrestleMania match. But how long
• 1:08:20
  can they really drag this ship out? They can? I mean, like
• 1:08:25
  right now, she she's all she's off that title run from NXC. It's
• 1:08:30
  a perfect time to just write her off of TV. She just needed reason
• 1:08:33
  to like, oh she's injured, Oh she's you know, she's doing a
• 1:08:39
  movie. No, Like no, she just like wants to take some fucking
• 1:08:43
  time off. I mean just take it to the crib like Bianka. Dude.
• 1:08:46
  Yeah, even though they wrote Yaka off right like Rianco is only gone
• 1:08:50
  for like three months, like a short amount of time, it went by
• 1:08:55
  so quickly. So like I said, like we're gonna talk about it.
• 1:09:00
  Well, no, I kind of discussed it before, but like you know,
• 1:09:04
  if Drew would pick up the title, that would be perfect opportunity for
• 1:09:09
  Seth as well take some time off. But anyway, let's let's move on
• 1:09:15
  here. What's the next match? Eh, Cody Rhodes versus Damian Priest.
• 1:09:24
  Uh you know, is this is Cody Rhodes going into this match uninjured.
• 1:09:30
  He seems to be always going into a match injured almost all the time.
• 1:09:36
  It seems like like, uh, I'm pretty sure I see Damian Priest actually
• 1:09:48
  winning this match. And let me let me tell you why, just because
• 1:09:54
  the we're I always feel like on a card like this, we always get
• 1:10:00
  matchup. We're very disappointed with that that went somewhere. We did not think
• 1:10:03
  it was gonna go takes a left turn. I think this is the match.
• 1:10:06
  It looks very promising Cody Rhodes, you know, like predictable. I
• 1:10:13
  would say, you know, I feel like it's a very easy peg.
• 1:10:16
  But I would say out of nowhere, I would say Damion Priest picking up
• 1:10:19
  this win and maybe not clean. I say, maybe because he needs a
• 1:10:27
  credible, credible, clean win over somebody like like Cody Roads. But I
• 1:10:31
  think there's gonna be a little bit of interference here by somebody one of the
• 1:10:36
  many other you know, uh, Judgment Day members. I mean they're all
• 1:10:44
  over this card to begin with, helping Damian Priest slither away with a win
• 1:10:48
  here. You know, Cody Rose can take an l from Damian Priest.
• 1:10:54
  Damian Priest, we'll get some credibility, more credibility, you know, on
• 1:10:59
  his own I'm talking. I'm not speaking of him and Finn with the tag
• 1:11:03
  titles. Honestly, we we didn't even we don't even really need this fucking
• 1:11:11
  match. We should be having a tag match on on their uh to be
• 1:11:16
  honest, but instead they blew out too many times already. Yeah, they
• 1:11:23
  blew that WAT way too many times. You know, lost the titles,
• 1:11:27
  got the titles. That was fucking weird. You know that happened in between
• 1:11:32
  podcast episodes, just winning and losing the tag titles. You know, the
• 1:11:36
  North American title one was kind of weird to begin with. And uh then
• 1:11:41
  they did it with the tag titles, and they're like, now we're gonna
• 1:11:45
  do it to Rea. Uh no, you're fucking nun uh but uh,
• 1:11:53
  Dre, what do you think you think I'm crazy? Do you think Damian
• 1:11:56
  Priest wouldn't be coming out of this with a with a W? I don't
• 1:12:01
  think you're crazy about it. I think Damian Priest should win this match,
• 1:12:08
  and I think he should win it probably due to some sort of outside interference
• 1:12:13
  like Fine popping up interfering, which is going to lead to a j run
• 1:12:17
  in and ultimately Damian Priest winning. I think that's how it should go.
• 1:12:25
  My fear is that they won't do that because Cody Rhodes is kind of in
• 1:12:31
  that position now where he doesn't lose where you have to be of a certain
• 1:12:38
  status in order to get a win over him, kind of like where brock
• 1:12:43
  Lesler didn't lose to anybody unless you are at a certain level. Cody Roads
• 1:12:46
  has almost kind of inherited that spot now on the roster as the top babyface
• 1:12:54
  where he ain't losing to nobody unless you're at a certain level. And my
• 1:12:59
  fear is that Damien Priest hasn't been elevated to that level yet to where he
• 1:13:03
  can where they're willing to book him to beat Cody Rhodes in a match,
• 1:13:09
  even though like I said, he should by for all intents and purposes,
• 1:13:13
  he should win this match. A win like this would benefit him more than
• 1:13:17
  Cody just getting another win over somebody. But yeah, ugh, I'll be
• 1:13:28
  I'll be going into this match rooting for Damian Priest to win. I'll say
• 1:13:31
  that, but I would not be surprised if we get the whole Finnbala running,
• 1:13:40
  maybe even JD running, maybe even dom to running, Jay show up,
• 1:13:45
  Maybe Sammy's Aint gets another run in. It is just a whole clusterfuck
• 1:13:49
  of booking which leads to Cody Roads winning. I would not be surprised if
• 1:13:55
  that happens, but it should be Damien Priest who wins this match. Do
• 1:14:02
  what do you agree? Are in the middle? I feel like we've been
• 1:14:09
  watching this match for months some variation thereof like this feels like a raw match,
• 1:14:17
  Like could would it have killed him to give this some kind of stakes,
• 1:14:21
  like put the fucking briefcase on the line, you know what I mean,
• 1:14:25
  or at least put them in a cage or something, you know something,
• 1:14:29
  instead of they just give us this. It feels like a filler match.
• 1:14:32
  You know, the belongs on raw. Yeah, there's just like tread
• 1:14:38
  and water with Cody until they can heat him back up to go take his
• 1:14:42
  lat next shot at Roman. You know, they have no idea what to
• 1:14:45
  do with him. In the meantime. It feels like, yeah, I
• 1:14:50
  mean, I guess Cody's gonna win, but who, I mean, why
• 1:14:56
  who cares? You know, there's no there's no reason to give a ship.
• 1:14:59
  What diff does it make who wins? That doesn't make any difference.
• 1:15:02
  You know, if you're gonna have Priests beat Cody, why not make it
• 1:15:05
  for the fucking briefcase, you know, establish him as a dominant you know,
• 1:15:11
  Uh, make his if he beats Cody, make it, make make
• 1:15:15
  it mean something, you know. Uh. But I guess the fact that
• 1:15:19
  they're not doing that means Cody's gonna win, and they don't want to give
• 1:15:23
  him the briefcase, So I'm gonna pick Cody Rose. Yeah, that's a
• 1:15:29
  valid point. Like if they had put some stakes on this match, and
• 1:15:33
  there would have been a much stronger reason for Damian Priest to win, so
• 1:15:40
  that and while also protecting Cody in the sense that it would build up Damian
• 1:15:46
  Priest as a guy who can win when there's something on the line. You
• 1:15:51
  know, he can when the when the stakes matter, he can step up
• 1:15:55
  and perform. And Cody falling short of that doesn't hurt him at all because
• 1:16:00
  he's still Cody motherfucking Rose. He's still the top baby face. So like
• 1:16:03
  it's one of those matches where kind of Damian Priest has everything to lose,
• 1:16:10
  Cody Rose has nothing to lose in this man. Well, I'll say,
• 1:16:12
  Damian Priest has everything to lose, but he has something to lose, whereas
• 1:16:15
  Cody Rose has nothing to lose in this match. Where at least if they
• 1:16:25
  even even if they just put it in a cage or something, you know,
• 1:16:28
  to keep the other Judgment day and people out or say we can make
• 1:16:30
  this more interesting something. Yeah, it just it just feels like a here's
• 1:16:35
  a match, Doyle Nona, what La Knight this match? No, I
• 1:16:47
  don't. I don't see that happening because l A. Knight really doesn't have
• 1:16:51
  his beef, isit really with judgment At the moment, He's focused more on
• 1:16:57
  uh bloodline, if anything right and the bumper. But yeah, yeah,
• 1:17:01
  but if they like if they could have that kind of lost my train of
• 1:17:09
  thought. But yeah, if they could have put this in a cage,
• 1:17:13
  like you said with Cody, that that would uh yep, yep, they
• 1:17:17
  totally lost that thought. I was trying to just something, just something on
• 1:17:21
  the stakes, just the regular singles match, because these are all just regular
• 1:17:27
  singles matches except for the Women's Fatal Five. They're very bland. Like I
• 1:17:31
  said, it seemed like it was very specific matches that were picked for only
• 1:17:38
  specific transactions of either titles or win losses. Uh, It's so that's how
• 1:17:45
  these Saudy pay per views always are though, It's like, uh like I
• 1:17:49
  always feel like it's like a multiverse. Like something that happens over in Saudy
• 1:17:55
  it doesn't count when it comes back over here, right like sometimes that's how
• 1:17:59
  we like to think about it. Now, what could make this match mean
• 1:18:04
  something is if it wasn't in the midst of Cody and his boys versus the
• 1:18:12
  whole Judgment day. If they could somehow focus this strictly and make it Cody
• 1:18:17
  Damien Priest feud, even though Damien is within bloodline and Cody obviously the top
• 1:18:23
  baby Face. If they could somehow make this be like maybe quote unquote match
• 1:18:27
  one in a ongoing lingering Cody Damian Priest feud, Yeah with you know,
• 1:18:33
  then that you could get something out of this, you know, even if
• 1:18:36
  Cody won and then Damian wins follow up match at some point on a main
• 1:18:44
  event of Raw or something like that. If they could somehow make somehow turn
• 1:18:46
  this Babyfaces versus feud you know, I mean, versus Heels faction feud thing
• 1:18:55
  and somehow find a way to focus it on those two, or at least
• 1:18:59
  let these to have their own internal focused feud with each other within the context
• 1:19:03
  of the greater baby Face versus Heil fashion feud. Then you could really then
• 1:19:08
  you could develop something. Then you could have something that builds up Damian Priest
• 1:19:13
  and gives Cody Road something relatively substantial to do while buying time till he again.
• 1:19:20
  Researveerced his focus on Roman reigns in the world and the WWE title.
• 1:19:27
  But I feel like they're not doing that right now. They're just kind of
• 1:19:30
  treading water until they build up to Survivor series and whatever potential wargames match we
• 1:19:36
  get. Yeah, that's true, just prolonging until we get some Warrians,
• 1:19:45
  which is yeah, so juicy coming up. I can't wait. That's like
• 1:19:48
  three weeks, yeah real quick. Yeah yeah, coming out of this,
• 1:19:54
  they're gonna be full speed ahead into fucking Survivor series. And if I think
• 1:20:00
  some of what happens on this show is probably just going to be, you
• 1:20:03
  know, just setting up Survivor series, Like that's kind of one thing we
• 1:20:08
  really haven't kind of talked about much within the context of these matches. Is
• 1:20:14
  are they going Are these kind of just like chapter one or first acts into
• 1:20:19
  continuing storylines in the Survivor series, or are these things gonna be some are
• 1:20:26
  things gonna happen in this match that are server as the catalysts towards you know,
• 1:20:31
  jumping in the fast lane towards the Survivor series, Like I could see
• 1:20:36
  that happening with especially with whatever happens in this Cody Damien match. Like if
• 1:20:44
  any match on this card is really a setup for Survivor Series, it's probably
• 1:20:49
  this match, which is another reason why I think we're probably gonna see a
• 1:20:54
  clusterfuck of interference. Yeah, well I totally expect a clusterfuck of interference for
• 1:21:03
  sure. All right, Uh, let's see what what's the next match on
• 1:21:13
  the card here that we can talk? Di scuse? Do you guys need
• 1:21:15
  to take a break at all? You guys got mm hm, you guys
• 1:21:20
  got your pist bottles nearby? We're all good? All right? Like we
• 1:21:25
  just go, yeah, what I'm drinking mountain? Do? I hope I
• 1:21:27
  don't confuse them. I don't confuse them that. Remember that one time,
• 1:21:30
  that one episode you did? Oh that was great? All right, let's
• 1:21:41
  roll into and his name is John con Versus solos CoA. I had to
• 1:21:54
  play that bomber. It was a must every time we mentioned John Cena.
• 1:21:59
  Uh uh, you know, the the writers are on strike right now,
• 1:22:04
  so the there's a lot going on. So John Cena actually has some great
• 1:22:12
  time and he's been making the best of it. You know, it would
• 1:22:15
  be nice rock if we could see some other wrestlers, you know, who
• 1:22:24
  should be available, who aren't busy. But yeah, it's good to see
• 1:22:29
  John Cena back. You know, as discussed over a bunch of promos the
• 1:22:34
  past couple of weeks. John Cena and we discussed it several times actually,
• 1:22:40
  you know, every time John Cena has a match. You know, we
• 1:22:45
  discussed it how his win loss record has been pretty bad. Over the past
• 1:22:50
  what two thousand something days, he hasn't won a match. It's ridiculous amount
• 1:22:59
  he's been putting over by to talent. Uh you know, is this where
• 1:23:03
  he finally gets a w you know it's been a while. Is this where
• 1:23:10
  he gets his momentum? You know for something bigger? Can Solo taken n
• 1:23:16
  L from John Cena? If not, this is a this is a big
• 1:23:20
  win for Solo but you know, where's Johnson to go from here after taking
• 1:23:27
  out of the loss. I you know, I don't for see Johnson a
• 1:23:30
  leading I see him sticking around at least till Survivor series or out. Who
• 1:23:35
  knows at this point with the writer the strike, he might just fucking you
• 1:23:42
  could, you know, stay all the way after the rumble if he wanted
• 1:23:45
  to, and then that would be it. But uh, I don't know
• 1:23:50
  this, This would go either way. I'm kind of split right down in
• 1:23:53
  the middle here because Johnston needs to win, but this would be a huge
• 1:23:59
  win for so you know, no title involved involved here, just a match
• 1:24:06
  with the good that's what they're calling him, their hardcore on that the goat
• 1:24:15
  uh Drey. I mean, I'm kind of split down the middle here.
• 1:24:18
  I can't I can't really decide because I mean, I can go either way
• 1:24:24
  persuade here. Who do you think if this were just John Cena versus Solo
• 1:24:30
  Sokoa and had just been built up as him beefing with Bloodline or what have
• 1:24:35
  you, then I can see it going either way. But the very fact
• 1:24:41
  that they made an emphasis or put an emphasis on John Cena is losing streak
• 1:24:47
  tells me one hundred percent he's winning this match. The fact that they the
• 1:24:53
  fact that he went through the he made a whole point of or he took
• 1:24:57
  what people had been bringing up on social media and made that a point of
• 1:25:01
  a promo, and that it's been a point of discussion in the last few
• 1:25:06
  weeks, and that seems to be more of the storyline than anything. Is
• 1:25:13
  the fact that he's on this losing streak and he now has a solo match
• 1:25:17
  with Solo for a one on one match with Solo tells me he's going to
• 1:25:23
  win because Solo has already taken L's so him losing another match, especially to
• 1:25:29
  someone the likes of John Cena, doesn't hurt Solo nothing. It doesn't make
• 1:25:32
  him look weak at all. And John Cena has everything to gain by breaking
• 1:25:38
  this streak, and it gives you that feel good, celebratory moment of him
• 1:25:43
  winning and celebrating in the ring afterwards and all that stuff before he potentially returns
• 1:25:50
  to Hollywood. Because yeah, just as much as he could stick around past
• 1:25:57
  this past Crown, going into Survivor Series and maybe beyond, he could also
• 1:26:02
  just as quickly, at the drop of a dime, have to go right
• 1:26:06
  back if this, if the strike gets resolved, and WW it's been reported
• 1:26:13
  that WW has it out for him for whenever it does get resolved. They've
• 1:26:17
  got an out that they can, you know, basically pull that trigger when
• 1:26:24
  needed. So I don't think I think they're going to keep him on top
• 1:26:31
  as the as a yeah, as a babyface, and they're not gonna delve
• 1:26:36
  further into a I've been losing and my losing streak has continued, because you
• 1:26:44
  know, if he loses this, then what then what's the storyline moving forward
• 1:26:48
  for him? Obviously there you'd have to you'd have to kind of go further
• 1:26:53
  with that, like you can't have him to take this loss and then oh,
• 1:26:56
  well he's gone, because then he comes back, and you know he's
• 1:27:00
  not coming back necessarily as hey legend quote go unquote John Cena. He's coming
• 1:27:06
  back as hey, he's the loser. You know that. I think if
• 1:27:12
  he goes out on an l and returns to Hollywood, I think that that's
• 1:27:15
  the one thing that could actually kind of hurt him a little bit. But
• 1:27:19
  him winning breaks the streak, celebratory feel good moment, Bye JOHNSONA, thanks
• 1:27:26
  for the quick run. Then he goes out, you know, as the
• 1:27:30
  same Johnson that we all know and love. So I'm in the mindset that,
• 1:27:35
  yeah, it's almost a certainty that he's going to win this match.
• 1:27:42
  I'd be I'd be genuinely surprised if Solo sic picked up the win in this
• 1:27:47
  match. Doyle or how do you feel? Do you feel the same?
• 1:27:55
  Pretty much? I think I said last episode or an episode or two ago,
• 1:28:01
  that if Sena doesn't get a win or two here, beating him is
• 1:28:05
  going to be meaningless. And when I said that, I hadn't didn't realize
• 1:28:10
  he hadn't won a singles match since what was it twenty eighteen or some five
• 1:28:14
  years And yeah, uh, you know, but this is another match that
• 1:28:19
  doesn't feel like a pay per view match. It feels like a SmackDown match,
• 1:28:23
  you know. So I guess I'm not going to pick against my fellow
• 1:28:28
  mass whole John Cena. You know, but even if he doesn't win,
• 1:28:32
  if he if he doesn't turn the math around or whatever he phrase he was
• 1:28:36
  using, you know, at the end of the day he sold John Cena.
• 1:28:41
  You know, he could still believably beat basically anybody, and we really
• 1:28:45
  wouldn't bat An eyelash. Uh. So, I mean again, it's just
• 1:28:50
  no stakes here. It doesn't really matter. Now, I should say I
• 1:28:57
  wrote in my notes no stakes. But while you guys were talking, I
• 1:29:01
  jotted something down and I think I maybe crack the code a little bit here.
• 1:29:05
  I was thinking about possible war games lineups, and I got j D,
• 1:29:15
  Priest, Finn, Jimmy and Solo versus Sammy, Cody, k o
• 1:29:18
  J and Sena. Well, j D and Sammy have a have a match,
• 1:29:24
  Cody and Priest have a match, Sena and Solo have a match.
• 1:29:29
  So I forget who it was said. Maybe this is all leading to something
• 1:29:32
  may actually have been right, Okay, run that run that line up again
• 1:29:39
  by me, Sammy, Cody, Sammy, Cody, k o J,
• 1:29:45
  Sina. Okay, so Ko and Jo the other two? Right, But
• 1:29:49
  I mean three of the five have one on one matches against each other,
• 1:29:56
  and the kind of an as you said, will find what JD and Sammy,
• 1:30:03
  Priest and Cody's about on on the on the heel side, you said
• 1:30:09
  JD, Damien and Jimmy and Solo. Okay, So no Dom or maybe
• 1:30:17
  Dom instead of JJ. I was trying to make it fit that they make
• 1:30:21
  JD an official member. No, No, I mean no, it's it's
• 1:30:27
  totally feasible. I could see if they if you want, if Dom is
• 1:30:32
  involved in something else, a better choice, I think maybe maybe not,
• 1:30:41
  because JD is the better performer in the ring. So you need somebody in
• 1:30:45
  the you need somebody in that match who can pull off crazy spots. I
• 1:30:49
  think JD McDonald would be more qualified for that. And then Dom, can
• 1:30:56
  you know, Dom strong enough that he can stand on his own in some
• 1:30:58
  other or some other feud or depending on what NXT has going on whatever,
• 1:31:05
  right, yeah, or whatever NXT has going on that weekend if they have
• 1:31:09
  something going on the same weekend as Survivor series, because I think that's maybe
• 1:31:13
  I'm mistaken with that, but it kind of think it seems like with at
• 1:31:16
  least the Big four pay per views that they have, yeah, they try
• 1:31:20
  to line something up with NXT around that same time as well, because they
• 1:31:24
  know that it's one of the Big four and it's got more eyes on the
• 1:31:27
  product at that during that time, so he could be preoccupied on NXT doing
• 1:31:30
  his thing at that moment. So I know, I think JD, Finn
• 1:31:34
  and Priests representing judgment day in that actually would make more sense along with uh,
• 1:31:43
  Jimmy and Solo because we haven't gotten to it yet. But rumor is
• 1:31:47
  that Roman might not be working Survivor series surprise surprise, right, kind of
• 1:31:54
  crazy to think about, but yeah, right, good talk. Well I
• 1:32:04
  was on touch base. More on that when we get when we get to
• 1:32:08
  the main event, but well, at least, uh, you know the
• 1:32:15
  pop is gonna be fucking heats for John Cena. Uh okay, So,
• 1:32:23
  Bianca Bella has been gone for a couple of months. She when she lost
• 1:32:29
  her title, she had a few rematches and couldn't beat EO Sky right,
• 1:32:36
  went away for a while. It's come back now has a title shot again.
• 1:32:45
  Do you think this is you know, third times? I think it's
• 1:32:49
  third time, third time? Starm here where she gets back, you know?
• 1:32:54
  H And we proceed on with biancabell Air at as champion again, leading
• 1:33:02
  up to something bigger for her and h or does EO Sky you know finally
• 1:33:10
  does she still have her number and puts Bianca bell Air away again and you
• 1:33:15
  know, just solidifies that she is the better wrestler out of the two and
• 1:33:20
  just end this feud once and for all, Jerry sounds like you want to
• 1:33:25
  say something. I'm not sure if that storyline quite lines up, because don't
• 1:33:33
  forget Eo faced Bianca at Backlash in Puerto Rico and beat her clean. Oh
• 1:33:41
  yes, yes, yeah, so she got it. She has a win
• 1:33:44
  on EO and then EO only won because she cashed in the money in the
• 1:33:48
  bank after the triple threat match that Bianca had with Charlotte and Osca, has
• 1:33:57
  Bianca gotten a rematch yet because since that happened, she wanted to get her
• 1:34:00
  licked back, but she didn't because some low privilege bitch got in a fucking
• 1:34:04
  way. But I ain't gonna go there, but you know, Charlotte kind
• 1:34:11
  of jumped in front of her and Yaka never really got her. She hasn't
• 1:34:17
  gotten her one on one with Leo since losing the title. This is actually
• 1:34:21
  her first actual one. But either way, this is the the rubber match
• 1:34:30
  per se. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you can say this kind of
• 1:34:32
  sort of ye kind of sort of. So you know, I feel like
• 1:34:36
  this is maybe the last time we're gonna see these two duke it out.
• 1:34:41
  And you know, they were able to drag this out this long, even
• 1:34:45
  with her gone you know, making it interesting when she returned. So uh,
• 1:34:54
  you know she could easily because the title, you know, from Bailey,
• 1:35:00
  But I don't I don't know if they're still looking. I mean they've
• 1:35:03
  been poking at it for a long time. If they're breaking up, you
• 1:35:08
  know that that group, but it's always hints to it. But I don't
• 1:35:15
  know. I I CEO winning it and continuing on this this range she has.
• 1:35:21
  I think she's gonna be the one to win this feud so we can
• 1:35:26
  take her a little bit more serious, you know, going on going moving
• 1:35:30
  forward here, and uh, I don't know. I feel like there's gonna
• 1:35:34
  be some new meat for Biancavilla or to have to deal with Drey. Who
• 1:35:41
  do you think is gonna come out on top of this match? I do
• 1:35:45
  think Eo Sky is gonna win. I just fear that, like all the
• 1:35:50
  other wins title defenses she's had, it's not going to do for her what
• 1:35:56
  it should be doing because of the constant interference from Bailey and Dakota Kai.
• 1:36:02
  Maybe my thinking is off, but I still always feel like a champion needs
• 1:36:09
  clean wins to establish themselves. As long as you win, and there's always
• 1:36:14
  some sort of asterisk or some sort of circumstance surrounding your win. It doesn't
• 1:36:17
  really help you that much unless you've already established yourself as that kind of conniving
• 1:36:24
  type of heel who finds, you know, devious ways to pull out a
• 1:36:29
  win. But even then you got to do it yourself. That hasn't been
• 1:36:33
  the case with EO. She's always had assistance in securing her wins, and
• 1:36:40
  that's not helping establish her as her own credible champion. It's just her just
• 1:36:46
  holding on to the title, even though she's having great fucking matches. She
• 1:36:51
  had a great match with Charlotte, but Bailey had to get involved to help
• 1:36:57
  her win. She had a great match with fucking Osca, but Bailey had
• 1:37:01
  to get involved to help her win, and that that's hurting her and it's
• 1:37:06
  almost countering these great matches that she's having. And I believe it, she's
• 1:37:12
  gonna have another great match with Bianca, and once again Bailey and Dakota are
• 1:37:16
  gonna get involved, especially Bailey, and that's gonna lead to her holding onto
• 1:37:21
  the title and it's not going to help her as much as it should be
• 1:37:25
  helping her. I feel like Io often will tell him not to help though,
• 1:37:33
  right, Yeah, EO's always telling them not to interfere, like,
• 1:37:38
  don't interfere, stay out of it, I got it. Put then they
• 1:37:41
  interfere anyway. Yeah, and that's kind of the problem. Like, at
• 1:37:45
  what point, if that's gonna be the keep the continuing running theme, at
• 1:37:49
  what point does EO Skuy get sick of it? Well? Sure, right,
• 1:37:53
  at what point does EO Skuy finally get sick of it and just say,
• 1:37:56
  Yo, get the fuck out of here, I got this. Like
• 1:37:59
  if she could do that, Like if that happened in this match where Bailey
• 1:38:02
  and Dakota tried to show up and EO finally took a stand and said,
• 1:38:06
  no, get out, state the fuck out of this. I got this,
• 1:38:11
  and then she goes on to beat Bianca Clean. That would be phenomenal
• 1:38:15
  for her, and that would really establish her as her own standalone champion and
• 1:38:21
  probably elevate her to being a bit higher in stature within Damage Control than Bailey.
• 1:38:30
  And it almost, in some excuse me, in some subliminal way,
• 1:38:34
  if you kind of psychoanalyze it, you could almost argue that Bailey's doing this
• 1:38:40
  on purpose in order to keep EO Sky so much suppressed beneath her, even
• 1:38:45
  though EO is the champion. She's like, yeah, you're the champion,
• 1:38:48
  but you're only holding onto that title because of me, And it's still helping
• 1:38:53
  Bailey still maintain her status as the alpha within the faction, even though EO
• 1:39:00
  theoretically should be the OUTPHA because she's the women's champion. Toyle, do you
• 1:39:04
  feel the same way? Uh? Yeah, Actually I kind of fantasy booked
• 1:39:13
  this one as well, and yeah, it was kind of similar to that
• 1:39:16
  kind of Uh. But I think this is this could be a Match of
• 1:39:19
  the Night candidate, but it's also the one I have the most trouble predicting.
• 1:39:28
  You know. As much as I love Bianca, I don't necessarily want
• 1:39:32
  to see her rocketed right back into being champion, you know. I think
• 1:39:36
  I think a chase story with her is much better. I'd like to see
• 1:39:42
  her do some things away from a couple of programs away from the title actually,
• 1:39:46
  uh, before she comes back into the title picture, you know,
• 1:39:49
  for WrestleMania season or whatever. Uh. You know, But EO and Damage
• 1:39:54
  Control has the numbers, so I think she'll retain here. Uh you know,
• 1:39:58
  But like I said, I'm not convinced. You know, I could.
• 1:40:00
  I could see a situation where this is where Bailey's you know, Boobery
• 1:40:09
  ends up costing you know, the title. But I couldn't see a scenario.
• 1:40:12
  I could see a double switch here. We've been calling for the Bailey
• 1:40:15
  I'm sorry, the Bianca heel turn forever. Uh. If this is where
• 1:40:20
  EO finally has enough of Bailey shit, and you know, it shows that
• 1:40:28
  she could turn herself face and if Beyonca loses and throws a bitch fit over
• 1:40:32
  it, uh, maybe she can be heal. And maybe you could pull
• 1:40:36
  off the double turn, you know, extremely hard to do. Uh.
• 1:40:42
  And I don't know, Like I think you could maybe pull that off in
• 1:40:45
  a Boston or New York or a Philly or Chicago. But I don't know
• 1:40:50
  if the Saudi audience is going to be quite Uh. I don't want to
• 1:40:56
  say sophisticated, but to pull off a double turn, you know. But
• 1:41:02
  so I'm gonna pick it up. Yeah, I think we're all picking up.
• 1:41:06
  But yeah I'm not. That's probably my least confident of any prediction I
• 1:41:14
  made Monkey Rinch wild card question. Okay, I go for it. Could
• 1:41:20
  we possibly see if Bailey and Dakota interfere on Neo's guy's behalf. Could w
• 1:41:30
  W E throw somebody in to come to the aid of Bianca in the form
• 1:41:35
  of Jade Cargill. Oh, I could absolutely see that it could. But
• 1:41:42
  like I know, they even like showcasing her around, you know, like
• 1:41:48
  promoting that she is a big deal. I guess, trying to also get
• 1:41:53
  like the feel of the crowd. You know, like how did you kind
• 1:41:57
  of react to her pop you know, like having her stacked up against you
• 1:42:01
  know, being side by side, like with Charlotte. I mean we saw
• 1:42:05
  that they had them both on super high heels so they can stand next to
• 1:42:10
  Triple h and tower over that man, even though Triple Ah's six foot four
• 1:42:16
  so squat Yeah, he was squatting. He did whatever he could and make
• 1:42:20
  them look tall ship and then you know, bringing her around Becky Lynch and
• 1:42:26
  a lot of the talk of the fantasy booking with her and Beyonce bell Air.
• 1:42:30
  I mean you're like, yeah, that totally would be awesome, right,
• 1:42:34
  But like do we put her right to the top, like or do
• 1:42:43
  we do the slow burn? I mean she's young, so like cross,
• 1:42:48
  no, she ain't. But like I can see her just you know,
• 1:42:54
  if it's if if she's going to n XT, you know, not to
• 1:42:57
  the main roster, she's gonna dominate the next two roster. But like I
• 1:43:03
  don't know, I mean it's fifty to fifty. Whether they put her directly
• 1:43:09
  on the main roster, that'd be the perfect candidate to whether team with or
• 1:43:15
  you know, be against. But you know, if like there's also I'm
• 1:43:19
  gonna throw this out there, that's you know, you wanna talk about wild
• 1:43:23
  cards. You know what if like Bionca just cannot regain this women's title and
• 1:43:29
  it just drives her nuts, you know, to the point where like she
• 1:43:32
  joins a certain heal stable that's upcoming, you know, with two face wrestlers
• 1:43:38
  that have been turned heeled with new music and new gear. You know,
• 1:43:44
  I can see her jerning where the street profits are. You know, if
• 1:43:48
  we ever see Bionca go heal, we gotta always That's that's another wild card.
• 1:43:54
  You know, I didn't even factor that that could happened. But that's
• 1:44:00
  to me more of a slow burned type of thing where she would have to
• 1:44:05
  fail a couple of times to win the title before I could see her reaching
• 1:44:10
  that level of frustration because don't forget she did. She is technically a two
• 1:44:15
  times WW Women's a raw women's champion, however you want to call it,
• 1:44:20
  because she'd be she uh did technically win at SummerSlam before YO cashed in,
• 1:44:31
  so she her her attempts at getting the title back have been successful. So
• 1:44:39
  I would see she I couldn't see it happening off of just this one loss,
• 1:44:43
  right, Like she would have to lose here and then probably lose again
• 1:44:47
  at like Survivor series, and then maybe I could see her transitioning into joining
• 1:44:58
  lastly's Fast Facts. Maybe, But like I say, now, but for
• 1:45:02
  the record, I don't think the Jade Cargill thing is actually gonna happen.
• 1:45:06
  I was just kind of throwing it out there, like, yeah, I'm
• 1:45:11
  just throwing it out there because she has been making these appearances on television and
• 1:45:16
  on the pay per views. At some point she's got to do more than
• 1:45:20
  just appear and just show up and you know, stare down with somebody or
• 1:45:26
  take a seat in a chair or something. At some point she's gonna have
• 1:45:29
  to actually, we're gonna have to actually see some physicality from her. And
• 1:45:32
  if there was something that a place that could happen. I could see it
• 1:45:39
  being either this pl or Survivis series where we actually see the first bit of
• 1:45:45
  physicality from her. Doesn't mean that she is immediately become an active, you
• 1:45:49
  know, an active wrestler on whatever roster, but just something to again further
• 1:45:56
  wet the appetite of seeing her finally compete. She just shows up and just
• 1:46:00
  you know, puts a boot in somebody's face and maybe hits her finisher on
• 1:46:04
  somebody, and then that's all we get, you know, and then everybody
• 1:46:10
  from there, you know, just just whatever she did to is now just
• 1:46:13
  talking shit. Wow, She's just you know, she's still away and just
• 1:46:16
  like no, no, no, I'll deal with you when I'm ready to
• 1:46:19
  deal with you. I just want to give you a sample of you know,
• 1:46:21
  this as whooping that's coming your way when I finally decide to you know,
• 1:46:26
  show up. I could see them doing that. It's like a tease
• 1:46:29
  thing, right door. What do you think you want to put in anything
• 1:46:34
  here? Yeah? I hadn't even thought that that would be a great,
• 1:46:39
  great, great place to debut Jay Cargo. Uh you know, international event,
• 1:46:46
  you know, uh, more kind of eyeballs than usual, maybe that'd
• 1:46:51
  be a great idea. I don't know if they're gonna do it or not,
• 1:46:54
  but it's a pretty good idea. Yeah, oh yeah, yeah,
• 1:47:03
  ship hold on, let me wait. I got like, no, of
• 1:47:15
  course I'm gonna do it. I was laying back, relaxed in the chair
• 1:47:19
  and I was like, so far away from the soundboard. God damn it.
• 1:47:25
  Yeah, it beat me to a son of a bitch. So uh
• 1:47:30
  okay, we got one more match. You know what, though, Like
• 1:47:33
  in between this this match here, uh, I want to talk about returns,
• 1:47:42
  like this is a big show for them, Like if you guys,
• 1:47:45
  could, you know, think of some returns. Who are you thinking?
• 1:47:51
  I had one in mind, and that was Randy Orton. We haven't seen
• 1:47:59
  Randy Orton in a while out rumors have been going around that he was at
• 1:48:02
  the Performance Center, and you know, I see a lot of rumors about
• 1:48:06
  him coming back. What do you guys think about Warren? I think they're
• 1:48:12
  keeping him on standby in the event that John Cena gets called back to Hollywood.
• 1:48:19
  Yeah, if the writers strike, I mean, if the seren Actors
• 1:48:24
  Guild strike, Like say they're booking with the idea of John Cena participating in
• 1:48:29
  the War Games match, and then suddenly he has to leave because the the
• 1:48:35
  strike has ended and he has to go back to Hollywood. Boom, oh
• 1:48:40
  he's out. They write him off television. Damn, we gotta struggle to
• 1:48:43
  find somebody else. And her voice is in my head and fucking Randy Orton.
• 1:48:48
  I think that. I think that's where they're at with him right now,
• 1:48:50
  until they right now, he's on standby as the substitute for John Cena
• 1:48:56
  in a in a storyline should he get called back, and should they manage
• 1:49:01
  to should it not happen and they're able to play Sina's uh whatever role he's
• 1:49:06
  in now out all the way to the end that they have laid out,
• 1:49:11
  which I would assume would be through War Games at least, then they'll bring
• 1:49:15
  Brandy Orton back, maybe night after Survivor series surprise return or something like that,
• 1:49:20
  or they may hold off on it to the Rumble if they can,
• 1:49:24
  if they managed to be able to buy enough time. Dull. Yeah,
• 1:49:33
  I mean, he would certainly be. I mean they're saying any day now
• 1:49:38
  with him, but I feel like they've been saying that for months, so
• 1:49:42
  who the fuck knows what's true? And what isn't what I had been hearing
• 1:49:45
  was Survivors series. So for mister Orton, Uh, we'll see, we'll
• 1:49:55
  see. Well, theorectally they may write John Cena out of of other series
• 1:50:00
  even if this strike is still ongoing. That may be the plan the whole
• 1:50:05
  time. Is that te he's like seen is going to be in it just
• 1:50:09
  to write him out of it and insert Randy Orton. That may be the
• 1:50:13
  working plan as it is now. Sure, it could be completely completely independent
• 1:50:17
  of the strike. Could very well be My cat is trying to break into
• 1:50:25
  the office. I saw the door handle like jig ling. Yeah. I'm
• 1:50:30
  not scared though, because Halloween is over. If this was yesterday, oh
• 1:50:34
  my god, I would have been so scared. But it's November. First.
• 1:50:41
  You know why the you know why the cat wants to come in.
• 1:50:44
  Dad knows what we're about to talk about next. The cat is come to
• 1:50:48
  acknowledge her tribal chief. Yeah. Absolutely. I asked him, if you
• 1:50:54
  want to talk about the Roman Empire? You know? Yeah? Yeah,
• 1:51:01
  main event? Uh, you know Roman Rings with Paul Hayman, with Paul
• 1:51:08
  Hayman with his dark hair versus l A Night. You know what though,
• 1:51:20
  this whole build up for this match. The promos that were cut for this
• 1:51:26
  match were fucking great. The back and forth between these two, you know,
• 1:51:32
  they both make a lot of good points, you know, you know,
• 1:51:38
  Roman talking to him like, you know, this is your first title
• 1:51:42
  match, and he's taking him as a joke pretty much. Uh, they
• 1:51:50
  kind of they kind of give us the spoiler. I feel like with this
• 1:51:55
  Roman Reigns title run about we're gonna get Roman and Cody Rhode at WrestleMania,
• 1:52:02
  you know for the title. We kind of got that spoiler a whole year
• 1:52:05
  in advance. So I mean, if you if you wanted a place,
• 1:52:09
  say, if you could, you could, you know, call it Roman
• 1:52:14
  for every match. But damn, I'll be damned if I didn't say that.
• 1:52:19
  This one had me thinking that this could be in the realm of possibility
• 1:52:24
  of Verman Rains losing his actually losing his title and just ending one streak he
• 1:52:30
  has you know here. You know, but let's say there's some sort of
• 1:52:40
  interference, maybe we do get the Rock coming back, maybe doing a little
• 1:52:48
  you know, distracting, little interference getting involved somehow, you know, I
• 1:52:55
  you know, hear the rumors of the Rock in and Roman rains at but
• 1:53:00
  it doesn't have to be for the title. They can easily free up that
• 1:53:03
  title to somebody else who's hot right now. And you know, I see
• 1:53:09
  a lot of people on Twitter just just you know, and other social media
• 1:53:12
  discussing how Stale the Tribal Chief has been this year. You know, he's
• 1:53:17
  only had what one, I think one title defense this year too, But
• 1:53:26
  no, no, no, no, he said more than that he first
• 1:53:30
  j Yeah, since WrestleMania, he's only had one one and that was SummerSlam.
• 1:53:36
  But going into it, he had uh what Kevin Owen's at the Rumbles,
• 1:53:40
  Sammy Saying at Elimination Chamber, then Cody at WrestleMania, then nothing until
• 1:53:47
  as far as title defenses go, nothing until SummerSlam against JH. So you
• 1:53:55
  know, there's rumors that he's not going to be wrestling again until uh,
• 1:54:00
  you know, the rest of the year. Like you know, he's just
• 1:54:03
  done, like he's done for the year. Put him away into the rumble.
• 1:54:09
  I guess, which is that's just ridiculous. You know, that does
• 1:54:15
  just Doyle. If he holds onto this title to WrestleMania, what what what
• 1:54:23
  is he going to beat anybody else? I don't think so. I think
• 1:54:28
  he would have to surpass WrestleMania, past WrestleMania to start looking at Hogan's.
• 1:54:34
  I think Hogan is like fourteen hundred days or something in Roman Romans in the
• 1:54:40
  low eleven hundreds. I think, so, yeah, he would need to
• 1:54:45
  he would need to be about another year from now. Yeah, So yeah,
• 1:54:49
  I don't I think I want to say Roman, right, I didn't.
• 1:54:53
  I didn't write any of it down this week. I feel like Roman's
• 1:54:57
  fifth all time. I think it's I think it's Bruno. Bruno's second title
• 1:55:05
  reign might be in sight, that might be only thirteen hundred days or something.
• 1:55:10
  Let me try to google it real quick. I think it's like,
• 1:55:12
  I think it's what it's Bruno, that Bob Becklan, then Hogan and then
• 1:55:17
  yeah, and then I think Bruno's Bruno's second reign is fourth. I think,
• 1:55:25
  let's see, yeah, because like, if there's such a if he's
• 1:55:31
  not going to surpass anybody really between here and wrestling, if there's nobody else
• 1:55:36
  for him to surpass, then what's the harm of him losing it now?
• 1:55:44
  And then you know, I know this and then the other you know,
• 1:55:50
  looking after the half empty half fool. It's like, well, he's come
• 1:55:54
  this far, he might as well just hold it to resume and then lose
• 1:55:57
  it then to Cody. But okay, I got his fourth is fourth right
• 1:56:03
  now at eleven fifty nine. Yeah, bruno second one is third at twelve
• 1:56:10
  thirty seven, so he's actually not that far from that. Hogan's first run
• 1:56:15
  is fourteen seventy four, and then Bruno's first run is twenty eight oh three.
• 1:56:19
  Yeah, but hold that one. Oh that's that's skipping out of the
• 1:56:24
  Bob Backland rain. Bob Becklan had twenty one thirty five days. Oh Bruno,
• 1:56:31
  Yeah, I'll say, because for the list, I'm looking at Bruno's
• 1:56:34
  number one, then Bob number two, Hogan's at three, Bruno's second run
• 1:56:41
  is number four, twelve thirty seven, and then then it would be Roman,
• 1:56:45
  and then after Roman was Patro Morales. The math is all there,
• 1:56:53
  guys. I mean you're right then that list was missing back on your absolutely
• 1:57:00
  right. Yeah so yeah, so so so Roman is fourth. So like
• 1:57:06
  the in the modern day, you know the best right now that that that
• 1:57:14
  San Martino's second run is within sight. Yeah, he would he would definitely
• 1:57:18
  pass that if he held onto a WrestleMania, and I think that's probably not
• 1:57:25
  a bad position to slot him in at if you want to slot him in
• 1:57:29
  fourth all time, I don't. It would depend on how much they want
• 1:57:35
  him to surpass Hogan. Really, do they want him to eclipse Hogan or
• 1:57:41
  not. That's probably gonna determine everything. Damn it sucks because like l A
• 1:57:49
  Knight is so close, so close, and you know, if he takes
• 1:57:56
  that L like we discussed earlier, like him going for the United States title
• 1:58:01
  wouldn't be that much of an l Like it would be a good transition.
• 1:58:05
  Like you know, he was like this close and with said and said interference
• 1:58:11
  is the reason why he didn't get it, and you know he's able to
• 1:58:15
  possibly focus on the United States title make that title interesting. Wait you think
• 1:58:23
  you think Ella Knight is so close to what he's so close to to the
• 1:58:27
  to the you know, like he has uh so close to having the undisputed
• 1:58:31
  Universal title because I mean he's yeah, he though no, because he has
• 1:58:40
  the momentum. He has, the momentum is the crowd behind him. He's
• 1:58:45
  like one of the hottest superstars in the company right now. But like it
• 1:58:50
  just sucks that he gets so close, and you know, Romans just is
• 1:58:57
  just going to be another notch in and spell. And it's just like I
• 1:59:01
  hope that from here where he gets knocked down, it's just not too far.
• 1:59:05
  Like when he falls down and he grabs that limb, I hope that
• 1:59:10
  limb is in the United States title and he keeps him elevated because some guys
• 1:59:15
  after they lose to Roman, you know, they just keep going down.
• 1:59:20
  Let me ask you something. Have you ever had a contract signing? I
• 1:59:31
  got one more question? Have you ever had a championship match before? I
• 1:59:45
  didn't think so. So that means you got no clue what you're doing right
• 1:59:50
  now. But don't you worry, your tribal chief. I'm will go easy
• 1:59:59
  on you. We're gonna make it real nice for your first time. Don't
• 2:00:03
  worry. We're gonna go real gentle with you. All right, all right,
• 2:00:08
  sweetheart, m thank you gentlemen. That concludes my responsibilities this evening.
• 2:01:00
  I want to wish you both the very best of luck at Crown Jewel Hi
• 2:01:13
  Roman. As far as we're I'm looking, I'm the head of the table,
• 2:01:17
  so acknowledge me. You want to talk about my first contract signing.
• 2:01:33
  You want to talk about my first WWE Championship match, and you're right,
• 2:01:41
  isn't that crazy? And you also say you're gonna go gentle on me.
• 2:01:44
  My god, that's sweetie deal. And I hope you do because if right
• 2:01:47
  now you think that you're gonna underestimate this man because it's my first time around,
• 2:01:54
  my friend, you are already beat. And I'm gonna put it like
• 2:02:00
  this is this my first time? Hell yeah it is. So I'm sitting
• 2:02:03
  here and I'm just thinking to myself, after only a single year, I'm
• 2:02:10
  sitting at the head of this table about to take your title, and I
• 2:02:19
  climb so fast you don't even know what hits you. Remember the time we
• 2:02:25
  get to crown Jule, you're gonna be thinking to yourself, what the hell
• 2:02:29
  just happened? He just walked out with my WWW championship. But see,
• 2:02:39
  you don't understand. Yeah, this is my first time, but I only
• 2:02:43
  need one time because while you failed over and over again, while you were
• 2:02:49
  busy doing suffering suck atash, I've been out here, run one telling everybody
• 2:03:00
  Pru's game. This is not yet because there can be only one w W
• 2:03:11
  champion. Yeah, there can only be one me. Yeah, and that's
• 2:03:15
  what. It's coming up real soon and there's nothing you can do about it.
• 2:03:21
  And that's not an insult that it's just a fact of life. I
• 2:03:31
  can't stop this gravy train. I can't stop the undeniable Kaboka, and I
• 2:03:38
  can't stop being the man they call the megastar with everybody's saying, Oh,
• 2:03:49
  also, I'm just gonna pinch this in another guy I thought it would be
• 2:03:54
  a good return. Besides Randy Orton, be Aj Styles A Styles has a
• 2:04:00
  been on TV in a while. Another guy that there I feel like that
• 2:04:02
  they haven't done a lot with recently, that they're just wasting contract with.
• 2:04:11
  But that that's a whole other story. Yeah, he ain't done nothing a
• 2:04:15
  while, and that's because Aj ain't moving no needle, Yeah I know,
• 2:04:20
  but yeah, he was another guy I thought of who hasn't been around in
• 2:04:26
  a while. It's still in the roster. But yeah, I mean,
• 2:04:32
  it seems like you guys kind of have different opinions on this. I want
• 2:04:34
  to hear it. Dre, what's your opinion on this? L A.
• 2:04:40
  Knight, Roman rains match like a guy who's like Roman said hasn't had a
• 2:04:45
  World Heavyweight title match before, I mean a ww title match before. Yeah.
• 2:04:49
  So I look at this La Night Roman Reigns thing and I think to
• 2:04:54
  myself, I've seen this before, and I have to go way back into
• 2:05:00
  the archives of my wrestling fandom to think of a moment that this reminds me
• 2:05:06
  of. Not apples to apples, but very much similar. And for this
• 2:05:14
  we got to slide all the way back to the eighties where there was a
• 2:05:19
  in a wrestling company. There was a guy who was the dominant champion and
• 2:05:24
  he was challenged by the hottest babyface in the company at the moment, who
• 2:05:29
  was the up and comer and had all the fans behind him, had all
• 2:05:33
  the momentum behind him, and he got his moment in his first ever title
• 2:05:40
  shot, and it was for all the marbles, it was for the big
• 2:05:43
  one. It was at that time. It was a sixty minute iron man
• 2:05:45
  match, and that babyface came up short, but even in losing, he
• 2:05:50
  solidified himself as a legitimate title contender, and it pretty much him already even
• 2:06:01
  more so than he already was, as one of the top babyfaces in that
• 2:06:05
  company. And that moment was at the very first ever clash of the champions
• 2:06:12
  when Sting challenged Rick Flair for the World heavyweight title. That is what this
• 2:06:17
  moment kind of reminds me of. Granted, l A. Knight is not
• 2:06:21
  the young up and comer, but within the storyline standpoint, he is that
• 2:06:29
  new hotness. He is that new top babyface that all the fans are behind
• 2:06:33
  and loving. And Roman Reigns ain't much older than you know l A.
• 2:06:41
  Knight in terms of real world years, if he ain't arguably younger. I
• 2:06:44
  don't know what their ages are, but they're not that far off in age.
• 2:06:47
  But in the storyline standpoint, Roman Range is very much the established champion,
• 2:06:56
  very much in a sense, the veteran in this storyline. So here
• 2:07:00
  comes the young lion challenging the old vet, seemingly having all the momentum behind
• 2:07:08
  him, all the fans behind him, and he's gonna get put in his
• 2:07:11
  place, like like our tribal chief said he was going to do. And
• 2:07:15
  that's what's gonna happen. But La Knight will have a damn good showing,
• 2:07:19
  he'll look great at it. Broman will make him look like look like a
• 2:07:24
  legitimate contender. But he's gonna come up short. And then after this he
• 2:07:28
  will still have the backing of the fans, and he'll set his sights a
• 2:07:32
  little bit lower like he should, because your arm's too short to box with
• 2:07:36
  God. So he don't move on to the west. Final situation, I'm
• 2:07:44
  gonna cut you off right there. All week, all the past couple of
• 2:07:47
  weeks, all I've been hearing is these seem punk references in people's promos,
• 2:07:51
  and I'll see what you fucking just did right there, this guy. Yeah,
• 2:07:58
  yeah, seem punk stole them from somebody else that that they ain't to
• 2:08:01
  see him funk original. But that's still that's why I thought of he nope,
• 2:08:05
  that that was a rap. That was a bar in a rap song.
• 2:08:07
  I can't think of it off the top of my head, but uh,
• 2:08:11
  that's where seeing punk got that from. But yeah, that's where I'm
• 2:08:15
  seeing this. And like I said, the whole time i've been watching this,
• 2:08:18
  it's just took me back to staying challenging Rick Flair back in the day
• 2:08:22
  at the first Class to the Champions and I see the parallels in this few
• 2:08:28
  that's happening right now. So I think it's gonna play out just like that,
• 2:08:35
  Doyle, what are you thinking of? Our opinion is? What do
• 2:08:39
  you? Where do you stand? Look? I like l A. Knight
• 2:08:45
  as much as the next gut well maybe not as much as Wayne. Uh,
• 2:08:52
  you know what, I wanted to continue to be pushed. But you
• 2:08:56
  know, after all this time and effort and building up, you know,
• 2:09:01
  know this Roman reigns title reign and storyline, you know, for it to
• 2:09:05
  end so abruptly at this pay review to this Guynna not gonna happen? Uh?
• 2:09:15
  Yeah, I think you know. Roman's gonna toy with him first,
• 2:09:16
  beat him down a little bit. Ellien Knight's gonna make the comeback. He'll
• 2:09:22
  be about to win until Jimmy interferes and costs him the match, and you
• 2:09:28
  know, we get home for something a little more exciting than that. But
• 2:09:31
  I think that's pretty much what we're looking at here. Uh. The real
• 2:09:33
  story I think, or question to be answered, Uh, is Ellen Knight
• 2:09:39
  ready for prime time? Right? Like hen he hang in the ring,
• 2:09:43
  you know, on a relatively big stage with Roman reigns or in this case,
• 2:09:48
  but you know, more abstractly, with a Seth with a Finn with
• 2:09:52
  an AJ you know, so this match in My estimation is kind of more
• 2:09:58
  about what el can and can't do rather than what the outcome is going to
• 2:10:03
  be, you know, almost like an audition if you will, you know,
• 2:10:09
  because I think it's a foregone conclusion that Roman Reigns is gonna win.
• 2:10:13
  Roman Reigns is a minus three thousand, by the way, if you if
• 2:10:18
  you want to put a little money on them, it will be interesting,
• 2:10:22
  I think to see if Eliy Knights uh overness translates to these foreign markets coming
• 2:10:31
  up, like are they gonna be as into them as we are or the
• 2:10:35
  American audiences. I think that'll be an interesting question to see answered as we
• 2:10:41
  go along here. But yeah, I mean Roman's gonna win, and I
• 2:10:45
  think I think that's silly to suggest otherwise. Oh yeah, it's again.
• 2:10:56
  We we all know where this is going. Roman is not dropping the title
• 2:11:01
  anytime before probably wrestle media. Now granted, if somehow Hunter got a a
• 2:11:11
  you know, rabbit hair up his ass and decided to shock the world and
• 2:11:16
  put this thing on, put this title on l A. Knight, oh
• 2:11:20
  yeah, they would steal all of the headlines. That ship would probably be
• 2:11:26
  ESPN, Fox Sports, everybody would that sho would be on the cover of
• 2:11:31
  every magazine sports you know, column like a mug. But there still will
• 2:11:39
  be uh in six months when Cody does it. Sure, yeah right,
• 2:11:46
  and it will be also yeah, when Cody does it at Wrestle Media,
• 2:11:48
  and it'll just happen. I just care that building this and building this and
• 2:11:52
  building this and building this for this to be the outcome, you know,
• 2:11:56
  exactly, no offense l a Night exactly. You're right on that, Like
• 2:12:03
  they ain't done all this, so fucking have l A Night come out of
• 2:12:07
  nowhere and be the one to steal it. If he had the title for
• 2:12:11
  nine months, okay maybe sure, maybe never, you know, but and
• 2:12:18
  I you know, in the grand scheme of things, I think something like
• 2:12:22
  that would be fucking awesome, you know, like uh uh, some you
• 2:12:26
  know, just out of fucking nowhere kind of thing, you know, or
• 2:12:31
  a title change of some kind. You know. I feel like we I
• 2:12:35
  feel like so much of the suspense is ruined, you know, like because
• 2:12:41
  we know Drew's contract is coming up, or you know, or or we
• 2:12:45
  know, uh, you know they're having a thing in Germany, so Gunter's
• 2:12:50
  probably or whatever. You know, Uh, you know, the element of
• 2:12:54
  surprise is so, I mean, it's not the end all be all.
• 2:12:58
  I don't think. I don't think it's as important as other things. You
• 2:13:03
  know, knowing where you're going they're getting there is have the fun sometimes,
• 2:13:09
  but like every now and then they need to be like, uh, I
• 2:13:16
  think that's might be what they were trying to do with the tag belts a
• 2:13:18
  couple of weeks ago, but like just like, holy fuck, kinda kind
• 2:13:24
  of moment, you know, yeah, don't do it too often, but
• 2:13:28
  every now and then, But at this ain't it ain't the time to do
• 2:13:31
  it exactly. Yeah, I wouldn't mind seeing it some other time somewhere along
• 2:13:37
  the line, you know, Yeah, yeah, I agree with you on
• 2:13:41
  a percent. Every now and then you got to hit the fans with that
• 2:13:45
  proverbial any given Sunday moment, like you said they did with the tag titles
• 2:13:48
  because nobody saw that shit coming. But yeah, it ain't l a night.
• 2:13:54
  As much as it would steal all the headlines and shock the world,
• 2:13:56
  it'll also kind of do the same thing when it happens at WrestleMania, with
• 2:14:01
  the added benefit of it being WrestleMania, so everybody's paying attention to it.
• 2:14:05
  Yeah, and you know, down goes Roman, so they would still happen
• 2:14:09
  then, but you know, unless they really got an even bigger hair up.
• 2:14:13
  They asked and had thought about this in advance and made the Cody Damien
• 2:14:18
  match for the money in the bank beefcase, and then Cody won it,
• 2:14:22
  and then l A. Knight shocks the world and beats fucking Roman Range for
• 2:14:24
  the title, and then Cody Rage goes in a fucking rage. I'm Cody
• 2:14:28
  Rage spoiled myself. Cody Rose has a fucking rage album moment, comes out
• 2:14:31
  there, catches it in, beats the living dog shit out of fucking l
• 2:14:35
  A. Knight, takets the title, and now we've got heal Cody.
• 2:14:37
  But you know they don't think on that level like I do. But that's
• 2:14:46
  said a man with that multiverse theory. You know, that's funny shit.
• 2:14:52
  Just Cody just gets pissed. The ship comes out there with the prekis like,
• 2:14:56
  oh hell no, beast, the living dogs the fucking Cody out of
• 2:15:01
  l A. Knight with the briefcase, and then l A. Knight could
• 2:15:05
  win it, and then Damion Priest cat cashes in on l A. Knight.
• 2:15:11
  Yeah, but that's not as funny as Cody having a whole temper tantrument
• 2:15:13
  beating living fun out of La Night with the briefcase and then taking the title
• 2:15:16
  of walking up like my goddamn belt bitchy right there, you How dare you
• 2:15:22
  finish my story for me? It won't be funny at all. God damn,
• 2:15:26
  it'd be terrible. I laughed my ship, I'd have tears running down
• 2:15:33
  my face. I'd be laughing so hard. So just watching Cody just wail
• 2:15:37
  on fucking l a night with that briefcase, just throw it a whole fucking
• 2:15:43
  bit Yoh god, he's turning ill, Cody, what are you doing?
• 2:15:48
  Stufp Oh my god, oh god, beat us so bad to fucking handle
• 2:15:58
  breaks off of that ship. He just picks up. What's just keeps beating
• 2:16:01
  them? Oh man? Well, do you guys have anything else you want
• 2:16:07
  to chit chat about with this pay per view before we sign off here?
• 2:16:15
  I feel like somewhere in this show because we got eight matches, Yes,
• 2:16:22
  eight matches, but three hours, so one hundred and eighty minutes. I
• 2:16:28
  guess that's enough to fill out the show without any padding from like some random
• 2:16:35
  segment or something like that because I was wondering, are they going to try
• 2:16:37
  to fill this in with some random segment? Are we going to get a
• 2:16:41
  surprise Grayson Waller effect or Miss TV moment or some bullshit like that. But
• 2:16:45
  nah, I don't think we'll get that much because I think eight matches eight.
• 2:16:48
  I think you can easily fill out three hours with eight matches. Well
• 2:16:54
  I say that, no, not eight seven matches because I forgot one pre
• 2:16:56
  show, so seven matches. There's a difference and bringing the Miss TV set
• 2:17:01
  from Milwaukee to Chicago and bringing it into Saudi Arabia also, yeah, especially
• 2:17:09
  get the thing like they're not trying to spend money on bullshit just to bring
• 2:17:13
  you know, a couple of chairs over whatever, do you know what I
• 2:17:18
  mean? Yeah? Yeah, I about say I would think the Miss TV
• 2:17:20
  set would be more easy to transport than Grayson Waller because it's the first thing
• 2:17:24
  that popped into my mind. Yeah, yeah, reason, Well, you
• 2:17:28
  got to bring all those stupid fucking palm trees, and he's got a whole
• 2:17:31
  desk and ship. Well they have real palm trees there. Maybe they can
• 2:17:35
  just hear themselves. You're right, These mis are just like two director's chairs
• 2:17:39
  at a fucking coffee table. How about the miss by the way with that?
• 2:17:43
  Uh, I guess he's a face again. Oh yeah, I'm here
• 2:17:48
  like, oh yeah, I guess we're transitioned into current of instan Yeah yeah,
• 2:17:52
  yeah, that's uh, that's pretty tasty. I'm here for it.
• 2:17:56
  Yeah. And that's just I mean, I feel like I say it every
• 2:17:58
  episode, But he's so fucking good. He was he was such a piece
• 2:18:01
  of shit heel and just flip a switch, you know what I mean.
• 2:18:05
  Like, he's really good. He's really fuck good. I don't know if
• 2:18:09
  he's gonna be gone through, but he's really fucking good. Yeah. And
• 2:18:13
  I think and he's finally at that point in his career where he's got that
• 2:18:18
  og veteran status to where fans can start to genuinely appreciate what he's done in
• 2:18:26
  this business throughout his career, and a face turn for him would be the
• 2:18:31
  perfect vehicle to do that with to where he can take all this talent he's
• 2:18:37
  been flexing his heels as a heel and put it towards being a baby face.
• 2:18:41
  You could you could really get something special out of that, Like that
• 2:18:45
  could truly be special and elevate Miss to heist that he may have never even
• 2:18:50
  seen before. I would not. I don't think it's too much of a
• 2:18:54
  stretch to say that a babyface Miss could potentially get over just as much or
• 2:19:03
  arguably more so than L. A. Knight is currently Right now, I
• 2:19:07
  think Miss is that good, has that kind of potential as a face.
• 2:19:13
  Yeah. Man, he's he's just he can do it all. He's uh,
• 2:19:18
  you know, he's an asset to any company he works for. Obviously
• 2:19:20
  he's only ever worked for for the E, but I mean ship, He's
• 2:19:26
  the kind of guy you love to have on your roster. He can do
• 2:19:28
  it anything anything. Oh yeah, I could see it because man, when
• 2:19:33
  he started to he started mouthing off the Gunter, I was like, talk
• 2:19:37
  your ship, Miss, talk yo ship. Oh I'm I'm here for it.
• 2:19:43
  I'm almost certain that he's gonna win the four Waight Number one Contenders next
• 2:19:48
  Monday, which is gonna set up him in a Gunter feud. And like
• 2:19:52
  you said, I agree, he's probably gonna come up short this time around.
• 2:19:56
  But what if he is the one to end Gunter's ring, Because I
• 2:20:00
  mean, there ain't really much else for guns to do. Is champ,
• 2:20:03
  you know, other than just add the numbers. Yeah, and you know
• 2:20:07
  we've talked about that spot has to be jumping off point for somebody, right,
• 2:20:13
  But I just I don't see any young up and cover that's even close
• 2:20:16
  to being able to pull that off, right, Yeah, it's somebody like
• 2:20:22
  miss It could damn s be a catapult for him as a babyface and watching
• 2:20:26
  him back into eventually into the world title picture. Yeah. Maybe, and
• 2:20:33
  say maybe not by maybe not by WrestleMania next year, but maybe by next
• 2:20:37
  year SummerSlam. Yeah. You know, if if say he fails at let's
• 2:20:43
  say that he wins that and that sets up him versus going through a Survivor
• 2:20:46
  series, he comes up short, has a great match, then he just
• 2:20:50
  you know, continues on as a babyface, builds a more momentum, earns
• 2:20:54
  a rematch at the Rumble, and then he wins at the Rumble, and
• 2:20:58
  then he's the Intercontinental champion going into WrestleMania, defends it against somebody, has
• 2:21:05
  another great match, has him another good run, baby drops it around Money
• 2:21:11
  in the Bank time. Maybe he misses mister Money in the Bank twenty twenty
• 2:21:15
  four. Yeah, oh shit, not again. Not miss the money in
• 2:21:22
  the bank, miss her money in the bank. Yeah, yeah, it's
• 2:21:28
  Cornia, It's cheesy, but fuck it, I can see him. I
• 2:21:35
  can see him running with it. And if I could see Miss making it
• 2:21:37
  work, missed her money in the bank, and then he cashing that motherfucker.
• 2:21:43
  Like so I'm slamming something. I'm just saying the road map is there.
• 2:21:48
  You're not wrong. True, it won't be hard to put it won't
• 2:21:52
  be that hard to make Miz to take miss very very seriously. Yeah,
• 2:21:58
  by that point, Roman would likely no longer would hopefully no longer be ww
• 2:22:03
  champions, so that title can is free to be moved around. By that
• 2:22:05
  point, almost certainly, I imagine Seth would no longer be champion. Might
• 2:22:09
  be my be gunter's world champion by that point, or maybe somebody else's world
• 2:22:15
  champion, and fucking his cash is in m Either way, I'm here for
• 2:22:22
  it. Yeah, Doyle, do you have anything more to plug? Yes,
• 2:22:30
  I have a whole litany of things. Oh my god, hear it.

• 2:23:09
  I guess the next day. But yeah, we're doing that Sunday,
• 2:23:13

  Fridays and now even occasionally on Tuesdays sharing my thoughts on Raw SmackDown, and
• 2:24:18
  I'm branching out even at the XT a little bit, sharing thoughts on that
• 2:24:22
  tuning into their show Halloween. I have it last night. Was wasn't it
• 2:24:26
  wasn't too bad, wasn't too bad? It was? It was okay,
• 2:24:28
  it was it was okay. The Mellow Hayes match finished ninety one. Yeah,
• 2:24:33
  I'm saying Mellow Carmelo Hayes dragging off part three was I have thoughts about
• 2:24:41
  that match. It was. It wasn't a bad match by any means,
• 2:24:43
  but I still think their first encounter was the best out of that trilogy.
• 2:24:48
  But again, you can find those thoughts in the discord, so you can
• 2:24:52
  always find me there. Other than that, I said, nothing else really
• 2:24:56
  too plug at this moment. Yeah, and you can find me just about
• 2:25:01
  anywhere as semi dried Chicken, Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, Discord. Yeah.
• 2:25:13
  Like I said, you know, hopefully within the next episode, our
• 2:25:18
  T shirt design will be out and I'll pro wrestling tease, uh, and
• 2:25:22
  then I'll let everybody know about that we can get some gear out there before
• 2:25:26
  WrestleMania, because there's a lot of us who listen, go to a lot
• 2:25:31
  of those wrestling events, and it'd be cool to have some PCW swag,
• 2:25:39
  some some clothing for the peeps. So yeah, I guess. With that
• 2:25:45
  said, we'll see you guys after this show, and hopefully it's not a
• 2:25:50
  shit show. So let me play us out there, fellas your friend and
• 2:26:00
  this is a friendship that will never ever end. And his name is Josh.
• 2:26:13
  Excuse me, what I want can't be what I want, which screw
• 2:26:26
  It's dam true. It doesn't matter what's your name. Oh yeah, let's
• 2:26:46
  scree you again. I'm going home by a great time.
