1:06
[SPEAKER_00]: Come on, what would make sense is like, I don't know, like November the second or whatever the Sunday is after Halloween, because you have your pumpkin color and then you carve it up for your pumpkin pipe or whatever.

1:18

2:01
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
2:01
[SPEAKER_02]: First the Canadians beat you guys in that hockey game.
2:05
[SPEAKER_02]: I didn't really care about it.
2:06
[SPEAKER_02]: And then you're.
2:07
[SPEAKER_02]: President said oh, we're gonna beat those kidding and then all of a sudden I was like We're gonna throw we have to show them that this is ours, and then we won I don't even remember what series that was the win kind of some made up some Made up one, but I was like yeah, and was like as soon as you're fucking president was like yeah Canada, we're gonna own you was like no, no, we have to make sure we beat them in hockey and then we did Yeah, now baseball America's past time

2:48
[SPEAKER_00]: We got this one at least.

[SPEAKER_00]: Come on.
2:49
[SPEAKER_00]: Hopefully.
2:50
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
2:50
[SPEAKER_00]: So we need our our young boy, your savage to just pitch like you did the other day.
2:57
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and also that seems like what Seattle's super worn out after that 15 in in game the other day.
3:03
[SPEAKER_00]: I hope all their arms are aching and now they will jet lag from all the travel and we're gonna we're gonna fuck them up.
3:10
[SPEAKER_02]: hopefully or this podcast is very dated if you're listening on Monday, but go j's go the city is definitely buzzing.
3:17
[SPEAKER_02]: The game is here downtown Roger Center the Skydome eight o'clock and oddly enough like months ago my girlfriend got me tickets for Adam Sandler, which is also tonight in Toronto.
3:30
[SPEAKER_02]: So getting as soon as that ends is probably when the j's game ends, it's going to be.
3:36
[SPEAKER_02]: chaos downtown, but oh yeah, I have a lot of joes all over.
3:40
[SPEAKER_02]: So very excited.
3:41
[SPEAKER_02]: So we're going to try to keep this tight.
3:43
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm supposed to try to make a family thanksgiving.
3:45
[SPEAKER_02]: Then you got work.
3:46
[SPEAKER_02]: You're going to be playing the game down at your your water and hold their gabby.
3:50
[SPEAKER_02]: So lots of stuff happening and we're here to talk about some wrestling.
3:54
[SPEAKER_02]: So we're going to try to fly through what's been going on this week.
3:58
[SPEAKER_02]: And, um,
3:59
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, we're trying to keep this a little swift if we can, but yeah, we've got a few plugs to get out the way first.
4:08
[SPEAKER_00]: We just dropped on our Patreon, both video version and the audio version.
4:14
[SPEAKER_00]: Our latest episode of The Champ is here.
4:18
[SPEAKER_00]: We were joined by Garth Hodgson from Grapple to chat all
4:25
[SPEAKER_00]: And also a world champion, both, you know, it's a bit messy.
4:28
[SPEAKER_00]: This is his 10 WWE Championship, 12 World Championship.
4:31
[SPEAKER_00]: Come on, just have one title, guys.
4:33
[SPEAKER_00]: Just make the crown jewel title, the title, come on.
4:35
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
4:36
[SPEAKER_00]: And, but this is the one it's following, SummerSlam, 2011, where punk beats in a controversially Alberto Del Rio cashed in on punk.
4:47
[SPEAKER_00]: and then for reasons involving Kevin Nash and Brett Hart.
4:51
[SPEAKER_00]: John Cena gets a rematch against Alberto Delrio for the title, and this leads us to the first ever Hellenacell triple threat match at Hellenacell 2011.
5:02
[SPEAKER_00]: So one of the shorter rains of John Cena, we had a lot of fun chatting with Gareth all about this rain and kind of his John Cena highlights and low lights throughout his career.
5:12
[SPEAKER_02]: Absolutely.
5:13
[SPEAKER_02]: If if you've not followed along, never a bad time to try us out, five bucks, patreon.com slash poison rana.
5:20
[SPEAKER_02]: You get all the other shows that we do, but the champ is here has been a lot of fun going back and revisiting John Cena and revisiting not something, you know, this is sometimes there's some errors.
5:31
[SPEAKER_02]: There's some years of just really bad.
5:34
[SPEAKER_02]: WWE content but then there's little weird nuggets of stuff that we we talk about on this show like having Garathon he does a show called Brett Tro on the grapple podcast shout out to the grapple ads we love you and oddly enough without planning.
5:50
[SPEAKER_02]: We have Garathon to talk about Brett Hart's final match.
5:56
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.
5:57
[SPEAKER_02]: And it involves a dude from Fantasy Island.
6:00
[SPEAKER_02]: So this makes a classic, it's an absolutely small classic.
6:05
[SPEAKER_00]: Garathon is going to revisit it again at some point.
6:09
[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, this was a whole lot of fun.
6:11
[SPEAKER_00]: I love doing this show.
6:12
[SPEAKER_00]: We put,
6:13
[SPEAKER_00]: a lot of time and effort and work into the shows, but they're pretty rewarding and we've had some really positive feedback.
6:20
[SPEAKER_00]: So if you're thinking of trying us out, we do have a couple of the older shows on this very free feed.
6:25
[SPEAKER_00]: So go back and have a listen and if you feel like it drop those five buckaroos and become a patron and you can listen to the whole series,
6:34
[SPEAKER_00]: as well as all our movie reviews, Retro NXT reviews, Retro Wrestling Paperview reviews.
6:39
[SPEAKER_00]: We've just done Invasion recently.
6:42
[SPEAKER_00]: We just did ECW WrestlePollews at quite recently.
6:46
[SPEAKER_00]: We did a best match ever.
6:47
[SPEAKER_00]: A.J.
6:48
[SPEAKER_00]: Lee.
6:49
[SPEAKER_00]: So we got a lot on there.
6:51
[SPEAKER_00]: But this month, Braden, we are getting spooky.
6:55
[SPEAKER_02]: Absolutely.
6:55
[SPEAKER_02]: This is a great time, especially if you're into the horror movies or not.
6:58
[SPEAKER_02]: But we are going to be looking at some classic horror movies plus some up yours picks as well as a ton of all the wrestling.
7:06
[SPEAKER_02]: So the champ is here 12 invasion and some spooky movies.
7:10
[SPEAKER_02]: It's five bucks a month.
7:11
[SPEAKER_02]: That means it's like not even a dollar per podcast.
7:14
[SPEAKER_02]: So if you've never tried to sell, I saw we had some new people sign up this year.
7:18
[SPEAKER_02]: Checking out the champs here, maybe our invasion review really appreciate it's how we keep the lights on.
7:22
[SPEAKER_02]: We're too independent podcasts as we goof off and talk about wrestling.
7:26
[SPEAKER_02]: And we can't do it with all the the poison powers, all the the frogs out there.
7:30
[SPEAKER_02]: So Ribbit, Ribbit, appreciate the love.
7:33
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm going to reveal right now the two movies that will be covering this month as well as Halloween, which will be doing Halloween Resurrection, our little Halloween tradition on this very free feed.
7:46
[SPEAKER_00]: And the first one, we throw up a poll of a bunch of films that we're having either an adversaries or re-boots or sequels or whatever.
7:55
[SPEAKER_00]: We put in the Rocky Horror Picture Show,
8:01
[SPEAKER_00]: hollow man from the year 2000, the strangers, VHS and the conjuring.
8:07
[SPEAKER_02]: I already know but one.
8:08
[SPEAKER_00]: And we will this week be reviewing Kevin Bacon.
8:15
[SPEAKER_00]: Wow.
8:16
[SPEAKER_02]: We're going to finish the story.
8:18
[SPEAKER_00]: We've brought up this film so many times.
8:21
[SPEAKER_00]: I haven't watched it for years.
8:23
[SPEAKER_00]: All I know is there is a scene that ages
8:31
[SPEAKER_00]: And then we had a bit of a classic poll as well and involving Frankenstein, Psycho, Rosemallow's Baby, invasion of the body snatchers and the fly.
8:43
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think this one's quite timely because Netflix have just released Monster, the Ed Game Story.
8:50
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm part of the way through this and I do want to finish this before reviewing this film because we will be reviewing Alfred Hitchcock's.
8:58
[SPEAKER_00]: psycho.
8:59
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm fortunate not the Vince Vaughn version.
9:02
[SPEAKER_00]: We are looking at the original 1960 version.
9:05
[SPEAKER_00]: You know we air that version at work a lot and I've now seen it way too many times.
9:10
[SPEAKER_00]: I've probably seen it more than the original just it happens to be on you know but yeah the original
9:17
[SPEAKER_00]: Screen Queen, Janet Lee, starring this, but yeah, this film is heavily based on Ed Gain, who is getting kind of a bit of a resurgence right now with the Netflix series.
9:29
[SPEAKER_00]: So this one's going to be a fun one.
9:31
[SPEAKER_00]: And yeah, definitely a classic we haven't looked at.
9:33
[SPEAKER_02]: We'll get that.
9:34
[SPEAKER_02]: Our Patreon is going to be bumping this.
9:37
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, the review of Hollow Man, which yes, we've joked about what we have not watched in a long time.
9:43
[SPEAKER_02]: So we're going to talk, we're going to talk about Hollow Man and Psycho.
9:47
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know if we've reviewed any Hitchcock before.
9:49
[SPEAKER_02]: We've not know.
9:50
[SPEAKER_02]: What a great debut.
9:51
[SPEAKER_02]: I'll have to get the get the blue ray out for this one.
9:54
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm keeping the poll open for Halloween have it because we'll be doing that later in the month.
9:58
[SPEAKER_00]: And I don't want to review Halloween have it.
10:00

10:27
[SPEAKER_02]: Appreciate it.
10:27
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, let's dive right into it.
10:29
[SPEAKER_00]: We're here to talk mainly about Crown Jewel today and we want to keep things moving along.
10:35
[SPEAKER_00]: So, and let's start off.
10:38
[SPEAKER_00]: You introduced a little bit of politics, a little bit of country rivalry in the beginning of this show, and, well, Crown Jewel started the same way with the Aussie's booing the US National Anthem.
10:52
[SPEAKER_02]: Is it, is it because Australia, they're part of the Commonwealth and they're just like, hey, Canada, we're going to stay.
10:58
[SPEAKER_00]: I think they're just part of the world who has televisions and someone who can see what a shit show is going on.
11:07
[SPEAKER_00]: And again, like we talked about this with the.
11:11
[SPEAKER_00]: Canada thing at the world is that like this isn't about like you guys you know it's about some of you guys some of you guys who voted for a certain guy who is uh yes still kind of uh being a hunt hey keep politics out of my pro wrestling all right um i i yeah i i i i feel the same way i did when we were at elimination chamber it's like
11:38
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not going to be the one booing because I think that's pretty disrespectful.
11:42
[SPEAKER_02]: However, I have been to many shows in the states where they have performed the Canadian anthem for like hockey and stuff and I have heard it boot there before.
11:54
[SPEAKER_02]: But also, it's funny.
11:57
[SPEAKER_02]: It's just funny that like, America, you guys are probably number one, at least you used to be.
12:03
[SPEAKER_02]: And the rest of the world just doesn't like you right now.
12:06
[SPEAKER_02]: So get the net and realize that you go to realize you are the heels.
12:13
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
12:14
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
12:14
[SPEAKER_00]: And some of you wrote some of you were great.
12:16
[SPEAKER_00]: Some of you are a Sami Zayn in the bloodline.
12:18
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, we love you.
12:19
[SPEAKER_00]: You're bad
12:23
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I'm in heels, right?
12:24
[SPEAKER_02]: America is like America right now is like Bob Hawley, one of my favorites.
12:29
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, they just want to put the title on them.
12:31
[SPEAKER_02]: But whose idea is it your own idea?
12:33
[SPEAKER_02]: So now you don't get the title.
12:35
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I think, you know, like these things are ways to, I think other countries and things have very little ways to kind of, you know, protest or express their opinions.
12:46
[SPEAKER_00]: And this, this is an opportunity.
12:48
[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, you.
12:50
[SPEAKER_00]: like you get what you get like there's absolutely no reason to sing a national anthem at these events I don't think personally and you are inviting people to voice their displeasure about certain things going on in the world and yes, booing a national anthem is all part of freedom of speech and you know this very weak WWE's bad bunny has been announced
13:19
[SPEAKER_00]: has been selected to perform the halftime show and we've got all the nonsense around in that with turning point now, creating there, all the American, all English, all white, let's say halftime show of their own.
13:31
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's shit like this, which makes people want to boo the National Anthem.
13:32
[SPEAKER_00]: Look, it's not right to boo the anthem in a venue country, but it's not like it's not like it's not like it's not like it's not like it's not like it's not like it's not like it's not like it's not like it's not like it's not like it's not like it's not like it's not like it's not like it's not like it's not like it's not like it's not like it's not like it's not like it's not like it's not like it's not like it's not like it's not like it's not like it's not like it's not like it's not
13:44
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know why they needed to sing it in the for I get it.
13:47
[SPEAKER_02]: It's an American WWE.
13:48
[SPEAKER_02]: It's America and all that's like whatever, but I again, I wouldn't be someone who's doing it, but I I didn't Didn't stop me from laughing when we saw this in Toronto and it didn't stop me from chuckling when I saw this here watching.
14:01
[SPEAKER_02]: I was like, oh, that's interesting like again
14:05
[SPEAKER_02]: We're not booing the people.
14:06
[SPEAKER_02]: We're not booing you.
14:07
[SPEAKER_02]: We're just booing, shit's going.
14:08
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm sure there's reasons for Aziz right now to be booing Americans.
14:13
[SPEAKER_00]: I think what's interesting as well is we're so cocked.
14:16
[SPEAKER_00]: So it is to be expected especially with all the 51st state stuff and sort of to see somewhere like as far away, as Australia, trying to have in the same opinion.
14:27
[SPEAKER_02]: Is it because of tariffs?
14:28
[SPEAKER_02]: Are the Tim terms getting too much tariff?
14:30
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, so we're over in Australia that they're like, well, we got to cut this shit up.
14:33
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, it's fine.
14:34
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't I don't remember this up for when like Paul McCartney did the halftime show or the weekend did the halftime show or coal played did the halftime show or
14:44
[SPEAKER_02]: all these other non-Americans it's it's it's just like reanna last year last year got a Kendrick Lamar got a lot of flag from a lot of the right wing people just like oh this isn't for me this isn't my music and it's like okay cool but like he is one of the biggest artists bad bunny legit is
15:02
[SPEAKER_02]: one of the biggest art at like I know that maybe wrestling fans we were introduced to him through WWE that wasn't the case for me I was aware of him beforehand but by the time he showed up in WWE he was already like one of the biggest streaming artists like one of the biggest artists and whether or not you are someone who listens to his music
15:24
[SPEAKER_02]: or, you know, go to his shows or maybe you're a big fan or whatever, it's just a super book like this guy is one of the biggest artists.
15:31
[SPEAKER_02]: So whether you've heard of him or not, it doesn't matter.
15:33
[SPEAKER_02]: Like this guy is massive and he's awesome.
15:36
[SPEAKER_02]: So whether or not you can understand the lyrics, you know, I bump his music all the time.
15:41
[SPEAKER_02]: And I don't know half the stuff he's saying, but I love it.
15:45
[SPEAKER_02]: I think it's so silly that people are
15:48
[SPEAKER_02]: Just blatant racism of like, oh, there's this guy who's going to perform in Spanish.
15:54
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's counteract that and I think that's pretty disgusting.
15:57
[SPEAKER_00]: The amount of Americans who don't know their own geography.
15:59
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, yes, Puerto Rico is part of the year.
16:01
[SPEAKER_02]: We're going to put ice outside this thing.
16:03
[SPEAKER_02]: It's like, yeah, he's Puerto Rican.
16:06
[SPEAKER_02]: Uh, last time I looked, uh, it is part of that.
16:09
[SPEAKER_02]: It's, it's very, uh, crazy times that we're living in.
16:13
[SPEAKER_02]: And I mean, we're Canadian.
16:14
[SPEAKER_02]: So we're just watching this.
16:17
[SPEAKER_00]: I did find it interesting, WWE like normally do like a congratulations on, you know, when Bad Bunny won a bunch of Grammys and stuff, it's congratulations, Bad Bunny winning Grammys.
16:29
[SPEAKER_00]: Super Bowl half time show is one of the biggest like honors out there for a lot of musicians and crickets.
16:36
[SPEAKER_02]: Triple H was like, don't tweet that.
16:37
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
16:39
[SPEAKER_02]: Triple H will be at the other the other event that day.
16:42
[SPEAKER_02]: I just, I think that's so silly.
16:43
[SPEAKER_02]: Like,
16:45
[SPEAKER_02]: the music thing it's always been about taste and like there's so many people out there who fucking hate cold play or hate Chandrick Lamar or people who do like it right like it's it's all it's all an ad the whole thing is
16:58
[SPEAKER_02]: person who performs, it's like, it's just one of the biggest things that we have.
17:03
[SPEAKER_02]: And to have this guy do that, I think it's so awesome.
17:05
[SPEAKER_02]: And the last T-minus 10 years, this guy has just like become such a global star.
17:11
[SPEAKER_02]: And again, whether you like him or not, like he has done a lot of good.
17:15
[SPEAKER_02]: And I just think it's so silly for people to
17:18
[SPEAKER_02]: just be outright racist of like oh we're not gonna watch we're not gonna support this last year was a black guy this year's a Puerto Rican no no we can't we can't continue the what happened to America it's like really come on check yourself like why are we living with people people living with such hate and uh if you've not never listened to bad buddy like you chop try it up like maybe you'll be pleasantly surprised catchy yeah he's pretty good he's got he's got some good tunes so uh the music always comes first for me too
17:48
[SPEAKER_02]: A ton of other artists, so, I don't know, I think it's so, so silly that this is a thing, but all the power to him and absolutely, any, any, we still love you America, but wow, what is going on?
18:02
[SPEAKER_00]: then we get into the show proper starting with the Australian Streepfight Roman Reigns versus Bronson Reed.
18:10
[SPEAKER_00]: This hometown crowd like not caring at all for Bronson Reed in their or Roman Reigns.
18:17
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, a lot of
18:19
[SPEAKER_02]: kendo sticks and cricket bats and rugby balls to the dick that was funny like it's a it's an Australian street fight which we always joke of like they add that stipulation to anywhere they are like Toronto street fight or Chicago street fight etc but to have the actual like cricket bat the rugby ball
18:38
[SPEAKER_00]: I haven't seen it.
18:38
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm sure someone's done it, but you know, when he threw the them to let Hayman, the Homer Simpson watching Hans Coleman get a ball in the dick.
18:47
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
18:47
[SPEAKER_00]: That's like laughing.
18:48
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, very excited.
18:50
[SPEAKER_00]: That came in my mind.
18:51
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, for me, this was,
18:54
[SPEAKER_00]: WWE Street Fighter, like gimmicky, a little cartoony.
18:59
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
19:00
[SPEAKER_00]: Roman seems to be having fun out there and the crowd were pretty fun with it.
19:03
[SPEAKER_00]: But, and you had some bloodline lore at the end, him telling Jimmy and Jator, let him handle things on his own.
19:12
[SPEAKER_00]: And then, you know, the accidental spear through the table from Jade, leading to, Bron hitting the tsunami for the win and Roman telling the USOs,
19:24
[SPEAKER_00]: Thanks.
19:26
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I'm definitely checked out of the bloodline lore, but you know, a pretty big win for Bronson Reed.
19:33
[SPEAKER_02]: And now he's now he's going to change his tone for years.
19:38
[SPEAKER_02]: He's just been saying, yeah, but I beat Ocada.
19:40
[SPEAKER_02]: Remember that time I beat Ocada?
19:41
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, guys.
19:42
[SPEAKER_02]: I beat Ocada.
19:43
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not sure if you know or you're aware, but I beat Ocada.
19:46
[SPEAKER_02]: Now it's just insert Roman in that guy.
19:48
[SPEAKER_02]: I think this is a
19:55
[SPEAKER_02]: The vision is not necessarily that clear.
19:59
[SPEAKER_02]: It's not necessarily that great.
20:00
[SPEAKER_02]: So I think giving him this win is a step in the right direction.
20:03
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not necessarily super.
20:05
[SPEAKER_02]: I wasn't blown away by this match by any mean, but it was a lot of fun.
20:09
[SPEAKER_02]: The crowd really made it.
20:10
[SPEAKER_02]: And I think pushing Bronn and Bronson is the right move.
20:13
[SPEAKER_02]: So I got into the finish.
20:15
[SPEAKER_02]: That spear through the table was pretty nasty.
20:17
[SPEAKER_02]: So, and then the tsunami.
20:19
[SPEAKER_02]: So.
20:20
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I'm kind of I want to see them.
20:23
[SPEAKER_00]: You know it must have hurt though when he was in the ring and you just hear the Roman chance and he's like, yeah, I know he's a heal though, but still yeah, yeah, it was probably my least favorite match on the show, but I still had some fun with it and I like the booking I like sort of
20:39
[SPEAKER_00]: you would think bronze breakers going to get a win over Roman at some point, probably on a bit of a bigger stage.
20:44
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
20:45
[SPEAKER_00]: And you've got the, I like the whole thing like throughout the night with, you know, Heyman telling the bronze, like Seth needs to do this on his own tonight and bronze going, well, what if he loses and Heyman going, you know what happens then.
21:01
[SPEAKER_00]: kind of insinuating you've got to take him out he's he's done so I think we will get to that point like way down the line with these two but it's it's a cool thing like giving bronze in the rub here like one of the only guys to the second guy since 2019 to pin Roman Reigns exactly yeah and I like personally I
21:22
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't mind this little bit of bloodline lore more so because it doesn't feel like it's the domain thing where where is it before it took over the whole show?
21:31
[SPEAKER_00]: I always get a little interested with the inner family dynamics and because it's not like completely dominating SmackDown right now I don't all raw but rather I don't mind it quite so much.
21:43
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah that's fair.
21:44
[SPEAKER_00]: We then go to Stephanie Vercaire versus Tiffany Stratton for the Women's Crown Jewel Championship.
21:53
[SPEAKER_00]: Stephanie Vercaire going over with her corkscrew moonsault and yeah about 10 minutes.
22:01
[SPEAKER_00]: What did you make of this between these two?
22:03
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I really love both of them and I think my only critique is it didn't necessarily get going to the next level you said maybe around ten minutes or so that's kind of what it felt like.
22:13
[SPEAKER_02]: I think Tiffany's had a strange year like we obviously watched her and NXT and we were like oh she's going to be a huge star who's starting and and she is.
22:22
[SPEAKER_02]: But the way she's been presented and the the fudes this year, the Charlotte the Nia stuff it just feels maybe not.
22:29
[SPEAKER_02]: totally connecting on the way.
22:31
[SPEAKER_02]: Even still feels like a rookie year for her.
22:34
[SPEAKER_02]: She's been really protected though, like this is her first loss.
22:37
[SPEAKER_02]: This is her first straight-up like loss, right?
22:38
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
22:39
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, that's that's all right coming from Stephanie.
22:41
[SPEAKER_02]: Clearly they're like one ace going forward with the care.
22:45
[SPEAKER_02]: But fun stuff, my only thing is like down the line, we'll have to go back to this and it'll be in a way bigger setting.
22:52
[SPEAKER_00]: I, I felt the match felt a bit like that.
22:54
[SPEAKER_00]: It was like, let's give this is the, the taste of version of the trailer.
22:59
[SPEAKER_00]: The trailer.
23:00
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, this is the, the teaser of the match.
23:02
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought there was some really nice stuff in here.
23:04
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think Tiffany keeps getting better and better.
23:07
[SPEAKER_00]: And I like how just all in they're going with Stephanie and, and the crowds are loving her as well.
23:15
[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, I, I thought this was a really solid match, but there's definitely more
23:20
[SPEAKER_00]: juice in it and I think down the line you can these two could be like pillars of the whole division down the line once some of you're like, you know, your shallots and your Becky's might have a lot more part time and these are the two you're going to focus on.
23:34
[SPEAKER_00]: So I enjoyed it and I think it's one they'll definitely revisit.
23:39
[SPEAKER_02]: This could easily be a WrestleMania match.
23:41
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, yeah.
23:41
[SPEAKER_02]: Like this year next year, you know, down the line because it just feels like they're two of the bigger up and coming, like not up and coming.
23:49
[SPEAKER_02]: They're both champions, but you know what I mean?
23:50
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, I think both of them have really quickly gained like an audience.
23:55
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
23:56
[SPEAKER_00]: And then we had John Cena versus AJ Styles.
24:02
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I feel this is the metric probably going to be talking about the most here.
24:07
[SPEAKER_00]: Absolutely.
24:08
[SPEAKER_00]: Like a lot to go through here starting with AJ Styles gear.
24:12
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, yeah, you are you are I am I am that's the only thing you didn't come out to the T and I think but oh man the gear is awesome It's from I told so he's been posting people have been posting that PWI from 2005 I have this to dream at right I have this this magazine yeah, it's hilarious So you know I love my 2005.
24:33
[SPEAKER_02]: Come on.
24:34
[SPEAKER_02]: So AJ Styles posting this photo quite a few times in the last few months, and then literally dug out the gear or had
24:42
[SPEAKER_02]: new ones made, but it looks identical to that gear.
24:45
[SPEAKER_02]: It's like, oh five, bound for glory, spike TV, debut era AJ Styles gear from the magazine from PWI and huge pop from me watching that, like, just seeing
24:58
[SPEAKER_02]: him that way.
24:59
[SPEAKER_02]: It looks weird seeing AJ and it's, it's so big now.
25:03
[SPEAKER_00]: Like it was especially like his, his systemic.
25:06
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like, it's like Triple 8 returning at MSG, you know, and he's just like fucking massive.
25:11
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
25:12
[SPEAKER_00]: He looks.
25:13
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, he did this one for the TNA community so love the gear on AJ here a great throwback and right away I was like okay Like just just the fact alone that you a dug those out or be got the made like for this like okay This is a special moment and then Sina comes out and this crowd go
25:35
[SPEAKER_02]: mental.
25:36
[SPEAKER_00]: I can't remember a crowd where you could just look at it and automatically see everyone has bought this shirt.
25:42
[SPEAKER_00]: It looks like you're at a sports game, you know, with everyone in the team's colors, like everyone in yellow, seeing a coming out, looking genuinely emotional about it, like crowd were crazy.
25:54
[SPEAKER_00]: And then like this is the first WWE match in a long time that I watched twice.
26:02
[SPEAKER_02]: I wanted to watch it a second.
26:03
[SPEAKER_02]: That's so funny.
26:04
[SPEAKER_02]: You said that I almost put it on again today.
26:07
[SPEAKER_02]: because I was like kept thinking about him like, yeah, before we talk about it, maybe I should, but I wanted to catch up on other stuff.
26:12
[SPEAKER_00]: Like I finished my shift, I was walking home.
26:15
[SPEAKER_00]: I was listening to John and Ways review.
26:17
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
26:18
[SPEAKER_00]: And then they started talking about this as I got home.
26:21
[SPEAKER_00]: And I was going to put on collision.
26:22
[SPEAKER_00]: I was loading up collision.
26:24
[SPEAKER_00]: And then I was like, actually, you know, I want to watch this again before I hear their opinions on it, just sit back and enjoy it.
26:31
[SPEAKER_00]: And you get to pick up on all these little things.
26:33
[SPEAKER_00]: So,
26:35
[SPEAKER_00]: Like when scenic gives the note to Alicia Taylor.
26:41
[SPEAKER_00]: Alicia Taylor looks at it and I don't think seen a clue to her up because she looks like she gets a little choked up by it.
26:49
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, and she takes like a moment and a breath to like compose herself before reading the introduction for AJ Styles, uh, what is it?
26:57
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, the definition of total nonstop action and the the king of the bullet club or whatever, and AJ certainly didn't know this was coming.
27:05
[SPEAKER_00]: He was like, when they mentioned the bullet club, he was like, oh shit!
27:09
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
27:10
[SPEAKER_00]: And I thought just that like right away made this such a special match.
27:17
[SPEAKER_00]: And I loved how they just started with some real classic wrestling before getting into all their.
27:24
[SPEAKER_00]: two K-25 spamming, but like it starts off really nice with just the, you know, because it restlocks, takedowns and very similar to the, which is, right?
27:35
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, that's absolutely.
27:36
[SPEAKER_02]: They used to do if we haven't, we haven't got there yet on our Champions Hear series, but AJ, Cena, few, like, especially the SummerSlam, the Rumble Match.
27:44
[SPEAKER_02]: And now this will go down in a great series of some matches between these two, but yeah, it started just like their old school.
27:51
[SPEAKER_02]: I think Cena, man, he's must have been seen the
27:54
[SPEAKER_02]: the the the mixed reviews from the past like year to half a year and I know the Brock say maybe it was just whatever but I think he's had a chip on his shoulder and wants to make sure he does end up going out you know in his own term so this is like in my opinion like his Austin theory match at Mayanier and stuff like I didn't think he was
28:18
[SPEAKER_00]: Anyway, we are capable of something like this or like the Cody match or the Samy match on TV.
28:24
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, then we get that skull crushing finale, which is the start of, so Miss was making some noise like a week or so ago about like wanting a match with senior and stuff.
28:35
[SPEAKER_00]: And yeah, this was the first of many, many finishes of opponents through his career.
28:42
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, like it's so weird because I think
28:47
[SPEAKER_02]: This might like divide the the audience because like I haven't been super high up on WWE But I've been calling for this match for what seems like months ever since they announced this I've been saying I can't wait to we should do this and then they started running back the hits of John Cena's past X lovers And instead they haven't given me AJ and I was like no, I know that we should and they give it to me So I'm like all right, this is great and then
29:12
[SPEAKER_02]: they start doing all these other moves from like the ghosts of their past, right?
29:17
[SPEAKER_02]: And I think I think if it was anyone else other than John Cena and AJ, I don't know necessarily this would be able to fly, but who are you, who are my, who are any of us to tell these two that they can't because it's really, yeah, like they literally have
29:35
[SPEAKER_02]: two different paths but they've made it up to at this point and they're doing moves from like all different people and it felt like one of the more refreshing WWE matches even though this is like an end of an era kind of match here but wow yeah we've got a comment from Chris in the chat now I bet I'm in the minority here but I didn't like it it was finished as spam only they were using everyone else's I've heard people call it match of the year that is just preposterous
30:04
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, if this was to random guys in the middle of Indie show or even a WWE show just calling off other people's it would be it would be terrible but
30:19
[SPEAKER_00]: it's these two and it's I think they've completely earned this.
30:24
[SPEAKER_00]: This is both of them giving their sort of love letter to their careers and to each other.
30:29
[SPEAKER_00]: Absolutely.
30:30
[SPEAKER_00]: And like nowadays when I'm putting together my matter the year things, I think what stands out and it's it's not necessarily yeah, I love your like Omega's versus Ospreys and stuff like that.
30:42
[SPEAKER_00]: But it, it's things that are a different and sticks in my mind and this match is going to stick with me, right?
30:49
[SPEAKER_00]: And absolutely.
30:49
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, we both picked Sami Zayn Johnny Knoxville a couple of years ago for similar but different reasons.
30:57
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, it was just something memorable and completely different.
30:59
[SPEAKER_00]: And I, like, I just thought it was great.
31:03
[SPEAKER_00]: And man, like, I got choked up with the sister Abigail, right?
31:08
[SPEAKER_02]: Exactly, that's, yeah.
31:10
[SPEAKER_02]: that's totally it where we okay so you know I got real choked up when he did the skull crushing finale as I was like oh Jesus here we go love to turn this shit off but then they're doing you know the
31:22
[SPEAKER_02]: the the acolyte gets thrown in there the cocaine a clutch I recognize from AJ the walls of Jericho the lion team are right getting a huge reaction.
31:30
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, yeah, really.
31:32
[SPEAKER_02]: So they're doing all these different finishers, but then when you did the sister Abigail and you let it breathe for a second before he laid that smooch on.
31:39
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, AJ, which I'm sure AJ love.
31:42
[SPEAKER_02]: The crowd just soak it all in and then you can see and yeah, I got very emotional and then
31:48
[SPEAKER_02]: He hits the movie, hits the kiss, he hits the move.
31:51
[SPEAKER_02]: And while he's laying there after AJ kicks out, everyone pulls out their phone and does the fireflies.
31:56
[SPEAKER_02]: And seeing as reaction makes my reaction now, like, yeah, whoa.
32:01
[SPEAKER_00]: And yeah, I got like, I'm tearing up thinking about it.
32:04
[SPEAKER_02]: So like that adds something, like look at the power, but tweet like that this guy was able to, you know, he loved that.
32:11
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, wow, show to you.
32:13
[SPEAKER_00]: It showed you as well what a smart crowd this was because like Cole on commentary was very heavy handed but I think he had to be because not everyone is going to pick up on all of these moves and what they are.
32:28
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think maybe also after the big dog reference for Edges Spear at the last one they might have proved him up a little bit more and what everything is.
32:37
[SPEAKER_00]: But, you know, not everyone is like us and not everyone watching at home are going to pick up on everything.
32:41
[SPEAKER_00]: But this crowd did.
32:42
[SPEAKER_00]: They're not getting prompted by Michael Cole.
32:44
[SPEAKER_00]: What everything is.
32:45
[SPEAKER_00]: And they were like hot on everything.
32:47
[SPEAKER_00]: Even though Cocina Clutch, which is a sleeper, a really good choke kind of thing.
32:52
[SPEAKER_00]: Immediately they're going Joe, Joe, Joe, and Rusev day for the accolade.
32:57
[SPEAKER_00]: But what I love, yeah, the phenomenal forearm, it looked at first, scene was going for rock
33:06
[SPEAKER_00]: And the crowd were allowed for it, always doing rock bottom.
33:08
[SPEAKER_00]: And then when he dropped him, they went fucking crazy.
33:11
[SPEAKER_00]: And as you said, with the fireflies out right away, just such an organic moment.
33:17
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's stuff like that that elevates it for me as well.
33:21
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, I thought it was, I thought that moment is beautiful.
33:25
[SPEAKER_02]: I didn't expect to get emotional watching a restaurant.
33:27
[SPEAKER_02]: No, I don't.
33:27
[SPEAKER_02]: Meaning like, yeah, all the power to, to these two.
33:31
[SPEAKER_02]: I thought this was a bit of a love letter.
33:35
[SPEAKER_02]: Let alone the you could have ended with that honestly you with the the Bray Wyatt thing But it there was there was there was so many other things and also Angel he had that move really nice I thought yeah, yeah, he did yeah, he did I honestly this is the best scene as looks like Possibly even better than the Cody match like this is the best scene is looked in a long time
33:58
[SPEAKER_00]: The the like as bad as just the sun switch was it was exactly like the right thing to do because I'm loving this second half of his run.
34:07
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, we have the yeah, sorry.
34:11
[SPEAKER_00]: Crystering up the improv of the 619, which shows how great these guys are like you could see seen a whisk for something like when the the chance would go in and yeah the drotto hold into it and then AJ getting a little boo from blocking the same really funny yeah really really funny also.
34:30
[SPEAKER_02]: We had the Angel's wings.
34:31
[SPEAKER_02]: I see some people in the chat are talking about why did he do the dead eye?
34:35
[SPEAKER_02]: But that used to be Caz's move.
34:37
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, see someone's pointed out the fate to black.
34:39
[SPEAKER_02]: The Angel's wings got a pop out of me because he did the volcano like AJ and Daniels have such history and that Daniels obviously like retiring quietly this year's sort of quietly.
34:49
[SPEAKER_02]: I guess I thought this was awesome.
34:52
[SPEAKER_00]: This was a death drop as well in that story.
34:58
[SPEAKER_02]: a lot of callbacks and I again if this was just you're at a year your local community center and some indies are just doing the best of WWE.
35:07
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it wouldn't have much merit but these are two guys with two hit like they've earned and like they earned it.
35:16
[SPEAKER_00]: Finishing with the Tombstone, like undertaker being the first guy to like in Gorsina on that day of his debut, right?
35:22
[SPEAKER_00]: And... CJ?
35:24
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, who the history is?
35:25
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and AJ, like that being take his last match, like... Yeah.
35:28
[SPEAKER_00]: Tombstone into the A8 finish.
35:30
[SPEAKER_00]: I love this.
35:32
[SPEAKER_00]: This is 100% gonna be in my list at the end of the year.
35:35
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, like, like, wrestling's gonna make me feel something, and this, like, gave me all the fields.
35:42
[SPEAKER_02]: I was not expecting it to be this good to to be honest.
35:45
[SPEAKER_02]: I had not been loving the the some of the I really loved scene of Cody too, but I really hated scene of Cody one.
35:52
[SPEAKER_02]: I really hated scene of Brock from a few like didn't even really hate it was just whatever, but this was a total like redemption.
36:00
[SPEAKER_02]: This was seen as last match outside of the US.
36:03
[SPEAKER_02]: He's got four dates left and I thought this this could have this should have been the last match.
36:07
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.
36:08
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know what the fuck else is again, like the rock better come out and challenge it.
36:12
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know what the fuck else.
36:13
[SPEAKER_00]: So the apparently it looks like Dave Meltzer put out a report of some matches that are rumoured for both saturday night's main event and Survivor series.
36:23
[SPEAKER_00]: And saturday night's main event involving John Cena going for that one title.
36:28
[SPEAKER_00]: He's never won Dominic Mysterio's Intercontinental Championship.
36:31
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.
36:32
[SPEAKER_00]: And
36:33
[SPEAKER_00]: he should win it, fuck it, he should win this title and then maybe that's what's on the line against Gunter if that is the way they're going for for his very last match but I agree like it's very easy saying in hindsight like what you should do but this was the perfect match to end his career on and I'm sure you could see them both were like fucking beaming after it like yeah also building up
37:02
[SPEAKER_00]: then making it very clear.
37:03
[SPEAKER_00]: Next year is AJ's last year and this match kind of felt like the start of his retirement tour as well and I think that's definitely something we can be excited in in 2026 because he can still go and I think you'll have a big match for Mania and maybe not this level but everyone loves AJ and I think he's going to have an interesting 2026 to go out on
37:30
[SPEAKER_02]: No, like I've been super down on WWE, but this Yeah, me totally caught me off guard.
37:35
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, it had my attention.
37:36
[SPEAKER_00]: I've been really looking forward to seeing if they would run this match back and and as soon as they did I was like, okay, I'm in and it makes me want to rewatch the other ones like I was there That summer slam match, which I I loved the the kick out after the avalanche AA at everyone lost their mind
37:52
[SPEAKER_02]: It's summer slam and then like a little while they do.
37:55
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it's money in the bank is the first one where like the good brothers into fair and stuff The second one is more of a straight one and one on summer slam and then rump rumble ones seen a winning 16 at the rumble Yeah, oh right.
38:07
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
38:07
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, yeah, the rumble one.
38:08
[SPEAKER_02]: I definitely but like This this reminds me of like yeah, this this is a bit of a spammy video game match where they're just doing the best of and and everything but
38:19
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know it maybe it's just fresh like I really really loved it and I've not been liking WWE so the fact that this really like got me in all the if this was an emotional roller coaster of like What do you mean you're doing the skull crushing finale what do you mean you're doing the sister advocate what do you mean you're doing the walls so You know Jericho was watching this on the phone already all right, so they reacted to the walls one of my one of my coming back and you know it's seen as way of kind of being like
38:49
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, sorry, Miss, I can't have a match with you.
38:52
[SPEAKER_00]: I wish I could have a match with you, take her, I wish I could have a match with you, Jericho, but here you go.
38:56
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
38:57
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought it was, yeah, I loved it.
38:59
[SPEAKER_00]: Absolutely loved it.
39:00
[SPEAKER_02]: Honestly, one of my favorite WWE matches in quite a long time.
39:04
[SPEAKER_02]: I think the last time I was real giddy about a match, I thought Cena and Cody at SummerSlam really wrote the wrongs from Mania, but...
39:12
[SPEAKER_02]: This one, it was the fact that a WWE match makes me want to go back and watch it right away.
39:16
[SPEAKER_00]: What's crazy is like this second half of the year, it's like, it's like the best work scene is done since the US tied to run.
39:23
[SPEAKER_02]: It's yeah, but it's been like 10 years, like that's in 10 years.
39:26
[SPEAKER_02]: This is best match in 10 years easily for me, I'd say, but I don't know.
39:31
[SPEAKER_02]: But again, I'd say this, this is up there for WWE match of the year for me, for sure.
39:35
[SPEAKER_02]: There's, there's a few that come to mind.
39:37
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, there's one for WWE, specifically.
39:40
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, like this one, this one will probably make the, the top of some people's list.
39:44
[SPEAKER_02]: And I could see, I, I see the criticism of like, well, it's just them doing the moves, but like, nah man, like these guys,
39:51
[SPEAKER_00]: are the like they were the the the leaders of certain generation of all the different like there's only a handful of people who can get away with it right it's like it's like rock hogan right like it's we we say that all the time like it's not it's not a great match but like it's they deserve this match okay it's one of the best because they built their career and they built their like legacy yeah level where they can just stand and stare at each other
40:19
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
40:20
[SPEAKER_02]: So like was AJ AJ Styles was tuning up the band, right?
40:24
[SPEAKER_02]: Or was that a last call for James Storm?
40:27
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, maybe.
40:28
[SPEAKER_02]: But like, you know, Sean getting that.
40:33
[SPEAKER_02]: Isn't Sean getting some surgeries?
40:36
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, he'd need what knee surgery, I surgery and go to Turkey for some hair implants as well before like if he can get all that done, I'll I'll welcome film Michael.
40:50
[SPEAKER_02]: We were robbed of Sean versus AJ and instead we got brothers of destruction versus DX and I don't care what Sean Michael says he's like, oh yeah, I've just pretend that match didn't happen.
41:01
[SPEAKER_02]: It did.
41:02
[SPEAKER_03]: happen.
41:02
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know if your brain is still fried from all those years, but it actually happened and it is technically your last match.
41:09
[SPEAKER_02]: So maybe you should write that wrong and just pretending you never cash that check.
41:14
[SPEAKER_02]: So why don't you run one more match back and do it with AJ styles.
41:18
[SPEAKER_02]: So winner winner.
41:22
[SPEAKER_02]: winner gets the holy grail winner gets that I don't know he can do at the turning point all American halftime heat show right I was yeah my brain was thinking of things and I bit my tongue there a bit but yeah okay glad you said it so yeah uh book the match I would watch it but I really love Cena and AJ and it does make me want to go back and rewatch it but Bravo it it I don't know how he can top this with this run but
41:50
[SPEAKER_02]: we shall see.
41:51
[SPEAKER_00]: We then go forward to Eosky and Australia's own real Ripley taking on the Kabuki warriors.
41:59
[SPEAKER_00]: I think this is one of the best stories WWE has had going for it recently.
42:04
[SPEAKER_00]: It's definitely like the stuff on Raw that's kept my interest over other things.
42:09
[SPEAKER_00]: And I thought they had a pretty fun match here as well.
42:13
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, the story is you're saying it's one of the more interesting stories because it's low key a love story between an Australian lady and I don't even know if it's low key, but yes, it's one of the greatest story telling, yeah, it's two girls who love each other.
42:29
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, yeah, you're right.
42:30
[SPEAKER_02]: You're absolutely right.
42:32
[SPEAKER_02]: It was cool seeing them hit each other's moves and what you're hitting a
42:36
[SPEAKER_02]: a razor's edge for yeah like the tarot twins kind of call back there.
42:40
[SPEAKER_02]: This was really fun as well.
42:41
[SPEAKER_02]: Rhea obviously just a god in Australia at this point, but I thought this was great.
42:47
[SPEAKER_02]: I think you could continue to run it back.
42:49
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm happy they didn't do like a heel turn just to do a heel turn.
42:53
[SPEAKER_02]: I was worried about that, but they're lovers.
42:56
[SPEAKER_02]: How could they?
42:56
[SPEAKER_02]: So yeah.
42:58
[SPEAKER_02]: Like it will come and it should be it should be rea turning on you down the line, but there's obviously still so much juice with rear as a baby face that I'd I'd run with this for a while I'm I'm happy that like Kyrie kind of looked all right in this because actually He's definitely been like hit or miss with the comebacks and so like that so I thought she looked really good to and yeah I think I think it was really special for all three of them to be in that match and really they all have really good chemistry so you guys been
43:27
[SPEAKER_02]: an incredible signing since like since coming into NXT we've loved her I mean before we've loved her but like look how big of a star she's become even like out of all the men like the women have really killed it this year they really like kick some ass and I think EO and Rhea the main stars of WD.
43:44
[SPEAKER_00]: I think as well just like Chris says a good story wifely acted and I agree yeah the acting hasn't been good but I kind of give it a pass because
43:55
[SPEAKER_00]: They're finally attempting to do something with, you know, foreign talent where their character isn't just your Japanese, but what's my character?
44:03
[SPEAKER_00]: Your Japanese.
44:04
[SPEAKER_00]: Like we've actually got like a little bit more depth and storytelling and, you know, Asuka, like she's been either crazy as a good personal crazy as a bad person.
44:16
[SPEAKER_00]: Now she's actually like, you know, she's like, she's like, one of those, yeah,
44:22
[SPEAKER_00]: like domineering parents who picks no you can't you can't be boyfriend that can't be a boyfriend because he's not from your culture it's kind of that sort of story and it's it's been working and uh definitely the uh the sexual tension between all four of them has been right to watch no I think the I think the wrestling absolutely has been really good with with these stars again the women this year are awesome so like eos just killing it and I think we will eventually have to
44:52
[SPEAKER_02]: down the line one more time but
44:54
[SPEAKER_00]: hopefully not quite yet like where do we go with this story line like that that would be a that would be a great manium match when it's a mania one of us a year one and one with rear as the heel he works so well I think we couldn't I wonder if we have a trip with threat match between EOS score and Kyrie down the line as well you see the video afterwards it was rea's birthday as well okay and yeah yield made her a cake or had her little cupcake and was singing happy birthday and it's just like
45:24
[SPEAKER_02]: The heel turn is gonna.
45:26
[SPEAKER_02]: The heel turn is gonna just be hard-breaking.
45:28
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it's gonna be so sad, but They're basically it's basically the golden lovers, but it's yeah, yeah, and real.
45:37
[SPEAKER_00]: Then we had the main event for the men's crown jewel championship Cody Rhodes taking on Seth Rollins This one went about 30 minutes and a lot of kickouts from big moves including an avalanche
45:52
[SPEAKER_00]: crossroads, which I'm not sure if I've seen hit before.
45:56
[SPEAKER_00]: Not like that, at least.
45:57
[SPEAKER_00]: It looked like that.
45:59
[SPEAKER_00]: I was then balancing on that top row.
46:02
[SPEAKER_00]: And then a conflicted Seth Rollins.
46:05
[SPEAKER_00]: Do I need to cheat to win this?
46:07
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, yes he did.
46:08
[SPEAKER_00]: He used the Rolex.
46:09
[SPEAKER_00]: knocked out Cody and hit the stomp winning the crown jewel championship.
46:15
[SPEAKER_00]: I think we expected this, I think it made sense, Cody's 3 and O, they're really trying to build up Seth and the vision.
46:23
[SPEAKER_00]: I think this made a lot of sense.
46:27
[SPEAKER_00]: I enjoyed the match, I don't think I enjoyed it on the level of some of their previous ones and I would have held off on doing that
46:39
[SPEAKER_00]: for a kick out to use it as a finish like to have it as a kick out was weird.
46:45
[SPEAKER_00]: A step too far and I know that might sound silly after us praising the the finishes spammy match.
46:51
[SPEAKER_00]: But like that's a super finisher and should be protected for that in my opinion.
46:56
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, you know, I think these two had a tough spot.
47:01
[SPEAKER_02]: Like the crowd were so loud, so invested, and everyone came off Sina and AJ, and then you had a bit of that breather matching between, but like there was a lot of story going into that.
47:11
[SPEAKER_02]: So I think these two had a lot on there.
47:14
[SPEAKER_02]: shoulders to carry here so that's why they went with like a lot of big kickouts and a lot of like new moves essentially like when Cody pulls out the vertebraker you know it's a serious matchup so hitting the vertebraker uh Seth Rollins with a new move the
47:29
[SPEAKER_02]: Van Terminator, the Seth Terminator headbutt, the, yeah, the coast to coast headbutt, like lying coast to coast never seen that before.
47:37
[SPEAKER_02]: Seth hitting a Spanish fly.
47:39
[SPEAKER_02]: Yep, the top as well.
47:41
[SPEAKER_02]: Just Seth pulling out all the stuff.
47:44
[SPEAKER_02]: Seth definitely felt like he was wrestling, like, he, he, he, yeah.
47:48
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, he was definitely.
47:49
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah.
47:50
[SPEAKER_02]: Uh, there was some really cool stuff in this.
47:52
[SPEAKER_02]: I think, I think,
47:54
[SPEAKER_02]: out of all the matches they've had I might like this one better than that initial maniac one but I know that they had like a few more but it was it was better than I expected I had really no like heat going into this really like there was no real like okay it's champion champion I think they still have a tough task with Seth because
48:14
[SPEAKER_02]: he cuts a promo after and I feel like no one, he didn't say anything, he's the guy who's very vocal on social media about like only 500 people, only 500 great and that's what makes me great is like I can command an audience and I thought that was such a strange tweet to come from someone from the likes of him because as much as I think he is an incredible generational talent.
48:37
[SPEAKER_00]: all of that went away when he just said like three lines on the mic and the crowd just like seemed to just fizzle and I'm like man like what is his problem is and it does feed into the story like it feeds into his character he's always one be yes he's always been one be he won't ever overtake Cody or Roman in that role and he feels he deserves it and I think that does feed his character I just
49:02
[SPEAKER_00]: I, I find too much the time he is playing the character.
49:06
[SPEAKER_00]: Whereas that what I just said there is a real true life story that is stuff that would get under his skin.
49:12
[SPEAKER_00]: But I do think these two have great chemistry and I do like that every match has has kind of had its own thing being different.
49:20
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, the first one being
49:22
[SPEAKER_00]: the surprise of Cody coming out, the second being a bit more traditional, the third with the hell in the cell on the injury and then this one felt a very different match from those other ones as well.
49:31
[SPEAKER_00]: So I like this and I actually, I think this is one of the best shows WWE's put on in a while.
49:37
[SPEAKER_00]: Like I didn't think there was anything bad on it and I I thought we had like
49:42
[SPEAKER_00]: two really, really solid matches like and one incredibly memorable match with the scene at AJ.
49:49
[SPEAKER_00]: So this was a thumbs up for me.
49:52
[SPEAKER_00]: I did watch it a little later, so I was able to skip through the commercials and things, but I did thoroughly enjoy this and I've been down on WWE recently.
50:01
[SPEAKER_02]: I've been I've been very down and I got a shout out the crowd in Perth, they were real hungry and real hot for this product and and we're super part of the show and they were they were there and they were invested and I did watch it on I watched it Saturday afternoon and I think that has something to do with it, you know, I complain about going to AW shows of how they go too long and it's two go go go go go with there's no like rest period and
50:30
[SPEAKER_02]: And about an hour of that is actual content and the rest is just filler and commercials and stuff.
50:35
[SPEAKER_02]: So when you watch it on like later, you can skip all those things.
50:39
[SPEAKER_02]: So that definitely adds to your enjoyment of like, well, I can just skip right next to the video package or the entrance or the match.
50:46
[SPEAKER_02]: If you if you want, whereas you're sitting there, if there's so much dribble, so much commercials.
50:51
[SPEAKER_02]: So it definitely hurts it, but I would say this was one of the better WWE shows.
50:55
[SPEAKER_02]: If not,
50:56
[SPEAKER_02]: their best show this year.
50:58
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I can't really think I can think of, you know, that I can think of matches across the year I've enjoyed.
51:05
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
51:06
[SPEAKER_00]: The women's triple threat scene of Cody too, like that kind of thing.
51:08
[SPEAKER_00]: But I can't think of a top to bottom show I've enjoyed.
51:11
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe this one from WWE.
51:13
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, maybe Summerslam night two, but this one this one's up there like those two matches definitely I thought Cody and Seth was great I thought the kick out and you said it like why use the ultimate crossroads if he's going to kick out of it like why not hit the three crossroads yeah for him to kick out of and that's saved that for like.
51:31
[SPEAKER_02]: a mania finish or something you know and then stop the stomp was off the top this time as well which then finished Cody so i mean there is obviously a rematch you go to down the line but i don't know what it is that we do to make the Seth visionary what is it illusion where they call the vision the vision like fuel
51:51
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.
51:51
[SPEAKER_02]: Must watch important.
51:52
[SPEAKER_02]: It doesn't.
51:53
[SPEAKER_02]: He just won the match and I was like, oh, that was really great match.
51:55
[SPEAKER_02]: I still am not going to watch whatever the hell they they try it.
51:59
[SPEAKER_02]: Like they need to they need to do something and I don't know what it is quite well.
52:01
[SPEAKER_02]: And I don't think I'm alone on that.
52:02
[SPEAKER_02]: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
52:07
[SPEAKER_00]: I like certain aspects of it.
52:08
[SPEAKER_00]: I do like the elevation of the bronze.
52:12
[SPEAKER_00]: Now the report melts and said is survivor series, the teams are going to be apparently CM Punk, Roman Reigns, Jacob Fatu, J.U.O.
52:20
[SPEAKER_00]: and a fifth member, possibly like Jimmy or someone else, taking on Seth,
52:26
[SPEAKER_00]: Dronson, Bron, Brock Lesnar, and Austin Theory is for Survivor Series War Games, so it looks like maybe obviously card subject to change, but it looks like potentially Austin Theory joining the group, which doesn't film me with a whole lot of excitement.
52:45
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, has this like evolution?
52:47
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, he's the new.
52:48
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, Austin Theory was in Seth's group in the pandemic, wasn't he with
52:56
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
52:56
[SPEAKER_00]: And remember that?
52:57
[SPEAKER_00]: No.
52:57
[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah.
53:00
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
53:01
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know where you go with Seth to make him.
53:04
[SPEAKER_00]: I do feel they needed to be a character shift.
53:07
[SPEAKER_00]: Because he is very much playing the same heel character he was before he was the baby face.
53:11
[SPEAKER_00]: And I do think some tweaks of that.
53:13
[SPEAKER_00]: I think strip away a lot of the extravagance and flamboyance he's got would help.
53:19
[SPEAKER_00]: Because
53:21
[SPEAKER_00]: He can sound good on the mic.
53:22
[SPEAKER_00]: I think the tweet you were saying was when he was talking about like the ten There's only ten people who can really cut a promo right now and Seth you ain't one of them.
53:32
[SPEAKER_00]: You have caught them before like I think when he taps into something that's real He he does sound good, but I think that's why I hate all the the character bullshit because it it sounds in authentic Whereas I think when he's talking more as you know
53:46
[SPEAKER_00]: Colby who's pissed off about something like he sounds good, but then soon as he goes into I'm a visionary revolutionary.
53:53
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm like fuck off.
53:54
[SPEAKER_02]: He's boring.
53:55
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
53:56
[SPEAKER_02]: His wrestling is not boring.
53:57
[SPEAKER_02]: This is he definitely went out there and wrestled his ass off and I got to give him.
54:00
[SPEAKER_02]: Hello, he'll go down.
54:02
[SPEAKER_02]: Again, generational talent for sure, but you have Paul Hamet.
54:05
[SPEAKER_02]: Why are you not having him cut promos?
54:07
[SPEAKER_02]: Paul Hamet is busy tweeting too.
54:10
[SPEAKER_02]: Paul Hamet needs to stop
54:12
[SPEAKER_02]: wanting people to die.
54:13
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know what that tweet was about Braun Strowman.
54:16
[SPEAKER_02]: That was fucked up.
54:17
[SPEAKER_02]: What did he say?
54:18
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.
54:18
[SPEAKER_02]: Paul Hayman needs to just, I'm kind of done with.
54:21
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, me too.
54:22
[SPEAKER_02]: And I'm like, big came in fact.
54:24
[SPEAKER_02]: What the fuck?
54:25
[SPEAKER_02]: This guy is, I don't know.
54:26
[SPEAKER_02]: He tweeted something.
54:27
[SPEAKER_02]: He said something on Raw about how no one has ever hurt or no one has ever put
54:33
[SPEAKER_02]: Roman Reigns in the hospital or on a stretcher and Braun Strowman the monster among men who I'm not even a big fan of really Basically says like hey, don't forget like I I put Roman out in the hospital and I'm not finished with you.
54:47
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, okay.
54:47
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm like that and then being in the next day on social media Just put out this nasty tweet Yeah, but I was here like I was Braun Bronson Braun Strowman was only like, you know
54:59
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, hey, don't forget, like, I did that.
55:01
[SPEAKER_02]: I remember the famous storyline where I put him in the ambulance.
55:04
[SPEAKER_02]: And Hayman just took it and like, I don't know.
55:07
[SPEAKER_02]: It says, please, dear Mr. Strowman, your post was brought to my attention.
55:11
[SPEAKER_02]: I have nothing negative to say about you, nor to you, sir.
55:13
[SPEAKER_02]: In fact, I'm actually relieved and indeed celebratory to learn your still alive.
55:17
[SPEAKER_02]: Something of us didn't, something most of us didn't realize and even few cared about with love and respect, Paulium.
55:24
[SPEAKER_00]: like what are like he's been he's been doing this a lot this year there was him on the Pat McVee show obviously uh the roast the W roast they did which is somewhat to be expected it is part of the like you know what a roast is yeah but he seems to just be going into this like you know
55:42
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh my shock, shock, kind of territory.
55:44
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's kind of gross.
55:47
[SPEAKER_02]: It's the Brock Lesnar stuff I mentioned it like a few weeks ago where he's like on air said like on WWE's was like Oh, the rumors and this about Brock I'm like you know what you're doing.
55:55
[SPEAKER_02]: You're being nasty just to be nasty.
55:58
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, like go go Go pay your old ECW employees the money there.
56:04
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay
56:06
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm like, I'm such a big fan of Paul Hamer, but in the last little while my dude shut up.
56:13
[SPEAKER_02]: Maybe, maybe that's why this group sucks the vision, because he's phoning it in.
56:19
[SPEAKER_02]: He's not like doing anything drastically creative.
56:22
[SPEAKER_02]: What's so ever with this unit?
56:24
[SPEAKER_02]: He's just there and getting the fattest checks.
56:27
[SPEAKER_02]: So very bizarre, but you know what?
56:29
[SPEAKER_02]: I really loved Crown Jewel.
56:31
[SPEAKER_02]: I thought,
56:32
[SPEAKER_02]: was refreshing, being in places when the crowds actually care.
56:36
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I'm sure it costs them an arm and a leg in a 10-10 and whatever, but
56:40
[SPEAKER_02]: I know that crowd wanted to be there and I would imagine if you went home after that show you would have been pretty happy.
56:46
[SPEAKER_02]: So yeah.
56:47
[SPEAKER_02]: Thumbs up for me too for a WWE show.
56:49
[SPEAKER_02]: I was very, very entertained and it finally was like, wow, this was good.
56:54
[SPEAKER_02]: This is why I like wrestling because most of the time when I watched WWE, I'm like, what is this?
56:58
[SPEAKER_02]: Why am I, why do I feel stupid watching this?
57:01
[SPEAKER_02]: I didn't feel that way this time around so good stuff.
57:04
[SPEAKER_00]: we've had some WWE releases as well.
57:08
[SPEAKER_00]: We won't go through all of them.
57:09
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a lot of WWE ID people, but Wesley being the big name to be released.
57:17
[SPEAKER_00]: Him being a part of NXT for the past five years.
57:20
[SPEAKER_00]: Obviously, we've talked about him a lot.
57:23
[SPEAKER_00]: really, really bizarre.
57:25
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, he had the great run with MSK and obviously Zachary Wentz, Nash Carter got released.
57:35
[SPEAKER_00]: He then had one of the best North American championship runs with some of the best matches during a bit of a kind of low point of NXT.
57:44
[SPEAKER_00]: And then decided to turn him heel for the the the Rasko's rivalry thing.
57:52
[SPEAKER_00]: Then paired him up with two fucking greeners grass dudes and acting more as a manager, which really didn't work.
58:02
[SPEAKER_00]: And now he's gone.
58:03
[SPEAKER_00]: I just think there's a lot of releases where I'm like, yeah, well, you weren't doing anything.
58:08
[SPEAKER_00]: And I don't like the word fumbled, but I don't feel any of this is whistly as full.
58:13
[SPEAKER_00]: And I do think it's a massive fumbled.
58:15
[SPEAKER_00]: This guy should be on the main roster.
58:17
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, very bizarre.
58:18
[SPEAKER_02]: I hope there's not like anything to do with like injury or what not like he has wrestled in the lat like this year.
58:26
[SPEAKER_02]: So it's not necessarily like he has wrestled.
58:27
[SPEAKER_00]: That's always been my thought is like post-back injury whether he's just, you know, kind of what we're seeing with Kenny Omega right now where it's like you can do a match, but really need some recovery time and stuff like
58:39
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know, is it an attitude thing or something like it's really bizarre, but this this heel turn was such a bad idea.
58:47
[SPEAKER_00]: Like this guy should have been, you know, an exti champion.
58:50
[SPEAKER_00]: Like so what?
58:51
[SPEAKER_00]: He's a b-face run to take the title off of trick Williams or something like that.
58:56
[SPEAKER_00]: It's really bizarre, but also, you know, the, uh, the rascals contract to coming up soon and you to thought like, also that main roster tag division just get went back and put these two together and have have them up on Raw or Smackdown like doing stuff like there's their fantastic tag team.
59:14
[SPEAKER_00]: I just found this really puzzling.
59:16
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, so I was going to go to TNA only to be back on NXT, like, I don't know.
59:21
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it's always I like, I know, they've got a lot of people, but I think AEW's tag division could use the rascal.
59:31
[SPEAKER_00]: So, like, you've got what, uh, trailer gal as well.
59:34
[SPEAKER_00]: You can waste through them in the trios division.
59:35
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, I think there is, there is stuff for these guys in AEW or RRH as well.
59:40
[SPEAKER_02]: go to the new Japan junior division show right like no one is there right now so they could i think that's really bizarre i i always loved was and i i think since the heel ran it's just been a head scratching so hopefully he finds his foot he hopefully he's not done with wrestling i don't think it's the case by any means maybe he shows up in the treehouse sooner rather than later so all the best to him
1:00:05
[SPEAKER_00]: Some other ones, Stevie Turner has been released.
1:00:07
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think that's particularly surprising.
1:00:11
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, no, I can't remember the last time she wrestled.
1:00:13
[SPEAKER_00]: She's been more of just a assistant's waver, but she's one of the bigger names, Lance Hanway released as well, one of the, you know,
1:00:24
[SPEAKER_00]: bloodline, he's gone, and then a bunch of WWE ID including Kylie Wright, who basically bait Kated the ID championship due to pregnancy and now being released.
1:00:40
[SPEAKER_00]: This isn't a ways a great look.
1:00:42
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that looks really bad.
1:00:43
[SPEAKER_02]: This WWE ID thing is a bit of a bust, I'd say, with them releasing a bunch of people this week.
1:00:49
[SPEAKER_02]: And I'm sure there's going to be some more.
1:00:51
[SPEAKER_02]: So WWE
1:00:54
[SPEAKER_02]: Hey, we're going to cast the net and kind of take over the indie stuff realizing maybe it's a lot of work, maybe this isn't as easy to get people interested or care and once people once you know I got to give credit to this isn't this isn't like founded right this is just like a few people have been released, but again I would imagine when there's some smoke there's some fire.
1:01:16
[SPEAKER_02]: A lot of the indie people, whether it's indie fed owners or run people who run like independent wrestling companies, they all knew, they all were pretty vocal of like, uh...
1:01:28
[SPEAKER_02]: They're probably not going to book any IDP.
1:01:30
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I don't know about this.
1:01:32
[SPEAKER_02]: We saw what you did with William Regal over there across the pond.
1:01:35
[SPEAKER_02]: We ain't following for that.
1:01:36
[SPEAKER_02]: And maybe they were right.
1:01:39
[SPEAKER_02]: So more to come on that story.
1:01:41
[SPEAKER_02]: But yeah, again, anyone who's ever released from WWE if they actually want to do this, if they love the rest, like then they'll continue and go do it.
1:01:49
[SPEAKER_02]: Or yeah, do other stuff.
1:01:51
[SPEAKER_02]: So I'm sure we'll see some of these people elsewhere.
1:01:53
[SPEAKER_02]: But we shall see.
1:01:56
[SPEAKER_00]: Shifting over to AEW, starting with some pretty unfortunate news, Koda Ibuishi picking up a series legendary, I think, what a broken FEMA collision.
1:02:09
[SPEAKER_00]: They did add the spot, he climbs the turnbuckle and kind of takes a tumble right to the floor.
1:02:15
[SPEAKER_00]: And yeah, breaks his FEMA, they count him out,
1:02:20
[SPEAKER_00]: run in return of Mark Davis and Kenny and Jungle Boy running out as well, but yeah, like this really unfortunate, this guy's had a such a weird five years whether it be like the injury of the G1 and then weird politics with
1:02:39
[SPEAKER_00]: New Japan and what claiming they're involved with the Mafia and stuff like that and then the the double broken ankles wasn't it during a match Yeah, and then actually starting to look pretty good in some of these return matches we've seen recently in AEW and they're just really unfortunate like coders always been a favorite of ours and It's it's a shame like I like
1:03:04
[SPEAKER_00]: You've got to wonder if there's going to be much more of a boochy wrestling, because this is going to be a long road to recovery.
1:03:10
[SPEAKER_02]: I was so excited when they announced this match.
1:03:12
[SPEAKER_02]: Obviously, Josh, I look Nander, Toronto guy.
1:03:14
[SPEAKER_02]: We've watched for a long time and codabushi.
1:03:16
[SPEAKER_02]: A bit of a little dream match even.
1:03:19
[SPEAKER_02]: And
1:03:20
[SPEAKER_02]: such hearing that news like it's it's weird that they air it but again it's their show so they got to air it it doesn't necessarily look like anything because he just goes flying and then he lands and yeah they they have to come wrangle so you don't really like you know see him you could see his it's his facial reaction like right away he's just like fuck like he must have been in scene amount of pain i have his instagram post that has been translated here he goes
1:03:44
[SPEAKER_02]: Again, again, I've only had major injuries.
1:03:47
[SPEAKER_02]: This is a femur fracture with the broken bone trying to pierce through my flesh.
1:03:51
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, so surgery already completed successfully.
1:03:55
[SPEAKER_02]: If I have to get another one, I will.
1:03:57
[SPEAKER_02]: I plan to live as an ordinary person from now on.
1:03:59
[SPEAKER_02]: For the past five years, it's been a cycle of breaking, healing and crashing, but this isn't how it should be.
1:04:04
[SPEAKER_02]: Above all, the best president ever, Tony Khan.
1:04:07
[SPEAKER_02]: And my partner, vice president, Kenny Omega.
1:04:10
[SPEAKER_02]: and Nakazawa San, who helped with many things, AW's the best.
1:04:14
[SPEAKER_02]: Seriously, the president gave me flowers and a letter.
1:04:16
[SPEAKER_02]: How could I quit after this?
1:04:18
[SPEAKER_02]: I cried.
1:04:19
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know if there's a year or a year and a half left or to get back, but I'll start with what I can do.
1:04:25
[SPEAKER_02]: Right now, only my toes move through excruciating pain.
1:04:29
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm shocked, I still have feeling, but Mr. Tony Khan, I have no choice, but to push through.
1:04:35
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't understand that tweet
1:04:41
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm going to live like a normal person, but Tony Khan don't worry.
1:04:44
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm like, yeah, it sounds like maybe he's going like after this injury.
1:04:48
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought I'm going to hang up the boots and that's it.
1:04:51
[SPEAKER_00]: But then after seeing the support of my leader.
1:04:55
[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, how could I, um, yeah, that's how I am so I just seemed indestructible for the longest time.
1:05:02
[SPEAKER_00]: Like the guy didn't age, the guy was dropping on his head like time that is actually all of us.
1:05:09
[SPEAKER_00]: Shooting fireworks is chest and then like it all just caught up on him.
1:05:12
[SPEAKER_00]: I was in the last few years.
1:05:14
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm really hoping he can come back and this can't be his last match.
1:05:17
[SPEAKER_02]: This can't be the way Coda bushy ends his career.
1:05:19
[SPEAKER_02]: So all the, like, you know how much I love the golden lovers.
1:05:23
[SPEAKER_02]: And I, I hope that Coda can come back and I'm pulling for him.
1:05:27
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm feeling for that's got to be in, like,
1:05:30
[SPEAKER_02]: the last few years it just feels like that rinse repeat of injury and injury and then oh man I feel so bad for that guy and I hope you can come back he's provided a lot of entertainment he's got a lot of fans out there so you know it was it was all in and Dallas I didn't even put it in he came out with Kenny and he was ringside and I I know a bunch of Kenny fans and golden lovers everyone was like quote as that quote it was Kenny is like oh man like people love
1:05:56
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, they put their bodies on the line and seem like maybe we get it.
1:06:00
[SPEAKER_00]: We were going to get never team up with each other, right?
1:06:03
[SPEAKER_03]: And maybe we're, yeah.
1:06:05
[SPEAKER_00]: And especially with both of them, maybe not being in the, like, the best condition right now.
1:06:11
[SPEAKER_00]: It, tag match is makes sense.
1:06:13
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
1:06:14
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, man, I hope he gets better.
1:06:15
[SPEAKER_02]: I hope this isn't necessarily the end, but he does.
1:06:19
[SPEAKER_02]: Got to think about it.
1:06:20
[SPEAKER_02]: I guess, but yeah, that was the big news coming out of a W. I did check that out on collision.
1:06:26
[SPEAKER_02]: I liked title Tuesday.
1:06:28
[SPEAKER_02]: I know we were watching NXT on Tuesday and I got to get out of here soon, but I got to throw out some I loved the stuff from dynamite on title Tuesday.
1:06:37
[SPEAKER_02]: Hangman and Joe promo.
1:06:39
[SPEAKER_02]: They did go into the stuff.
1:06:40
[SPEAKER_02]: I think we were talking about like.
1:06:42
[SPEAKER_02]: Joe kind of playing a little heelish, but also spitting some facts and I thought these two are great promos to go out for.
1:06:50
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, Joe's just great, isn't he?
1:06:51
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, it's great glass in emergency called Joe.
1:06:55
[SPEAKER_00]: Like he's like, all right, it's a championship match.
1:06:58
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, I'll dust off my suit.
1:06:59
[SPEAKER_00]: He looked awesome.
1:07:00
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, I like that it's
1:07:03
[SPEAKER_00]: It is two baby faces but it's it's spiky.
1:07:06
[SPEAKER_00]: You can see where both characters coming from and I think they've done this is one of the best sort of actually this and probably seen at AJ one of the best just we've got two weeks to build something let's go and yeah uh like both the just so believable Oh no and is is Joe hitting a styles clash in this match?
1:07:27
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah, hangman.
1:07:29
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, yeah, it's more likely to be that than a phenomenal four on my think from yeah, but I can't wait for that match What else was that Kyle versus Kyle?
1:07:38
[SPEAKER_00]: Carlos, they really tried didn't they they really tried to Be create what happened on collision a few months ago, but munk how you can't tell us to charm Kyle right They did, but yeah, I thought that was great.
1:07:52
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought this crowd sucked
1:07:53
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, they were playing a place used to be pretty loud and like this felt so empty.
1:07:59
[SPEAKER_02]: Like clearly they want to do fletcher versus Kenny, but they need Kenny to be like 100% not necessarily the bionic man Kenny, so like we will get that match eventually.
1:08:08
[SPEAKER_02]: But uh, so we're going Mark Brisco.
1:08:10
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, brisk goes right.
1:08:12
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, which we we saw coming.
1:08:13
[SPEAKER_02]: I think that'll be an awesome match on the paper views.
1:08:16
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, uh, we had Moxley versus E. She thought that was a pretty fun match.
1:08:21
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, we saw that last in camera.
1:08:22
[SPEAKER_02]: We've seen of a few.
1:08:23
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, we love I love when they were in Hamilton, right?
1:08:26
[SPEAKER_02]: I love when these two fight and I thought this was this was pretty good with that E. She being a little stubborn with the the pile driver and everything.
1:08:33
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, what I what I like is like it's E. She has no neck, right?
1:08:38
[SPEAKER_00]: So yes.
1:08:38
[SPEAKER_00]: He is the one man who can kick out these pile drivers and death riders and all these things because there's no neck, so it doesn't hurt.
1:08:46
[SPEAKER_02]: So Darby versus Moxin and I quit match and they're going to one of them is going to be burned.
1:08:52
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, a lot.
1:08:52
[SPEAKER_02]: Like does it going to be fire in this match?
1:08:54
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I think.
1:08:56
[SPEAKER_02]: Young bucks versus Jurassic Express announced for Russell Dream for a $500,000 match.
1:09:03
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, winner gets that.
1:09:05
[SPEAKER_02]: Did you notice the time cop?
1:09:07
[SPEAKER_02]: font on Tony Khan's door when the bucks are banging on his door.
1:09:11
[SPEAKER_02]: It says Tony Khan, but it's the fucking the the colors in the logo of Time Cop.
1:09:16
[SPEAKER_02]: I changed into Tony Khan.
1:09:18
[SPEAKER_02]: Fucking lost it.
1:09:19
[SPEAKER_02]: And I know no one else understands that.
1:09:21
[SPEAKER_02]: But I'm like, I do.
1:09:22
[SPEAKER_02]: I understand.
1:09:24
[SPEAKER_00]: I feel the free fight was pretty fun as well.
1:09:25
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
1:09:26
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
1:09:26
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
1:09:27
[SPEAKER_00]: I feel that was I I'm a bit confused why they were wrestling in dress pants and
1:09:34
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
1:09:34
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, but like you can, you know, it's coming.
1:09:37
[SPEAKER_00]: It's not like you were caught off guard.
1:09:38
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah.
1:09:40
[SPEAKER_00]: But I thought it looked pretty cool actually then, like especially, lastly, like in just this tight shirt, flatten around, hitting spears and stuff.
1:09:47
[SPEAKER_00]: But I thought this was a lot of fun.
1:09:49
[SPEAKER_00]: They're clearly really trying to elevate GOA and, and I think things like this do help elevate them.
1:09:56
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, they're still not, I still don't find them particularly interesting, but I did enjoy this match here.
1:10:02
[SPEAKER_02]: uh... okata tachasta versus brodito bandito wrestling with an injured shoulder and looks like he will continue to wrestle i think last week we were saying like hey actually they should do this at the paper view yet only likes to take singles champions and have the rest of her tags titles but in this instance i'm totally okay with it and this was a great little like teaser
1:10:22
[SPEAKER_02]: For the paper view match, like I couldn't, I wanted Ocada to catch the win so that we can rematch it at the paper view.
1:10:28
[SPEAKER_02]: And I'm very excited.
1:10:29
[SPEAKER_02]: We have the tension with Ocada and to Kesta.
1:10:32
[SPEAKER_02]: I imagine that comes full steam ahead at the paper view when they lose against broditos.
1:10:38
[SPEAKER_02]: So we're going to full gear.
1:10:39
[SPEAKER_02]: The prayers I've been answered to Kesta Ocada in Newark.
1:10:43
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, keep a team treading Walter until full gear exactly.
1:10:46
[SPEAKER_00]: Just not all the way to rest
1:10:50
[SPEAKER_02]: But that was a lot of fun and I think that could be the match of the paper videos, yeah, it's acting match.
1:10:55
[SPEAKER_02]: I really love Brody King and Bandito after the promo where he's like, I'm not mad at you.
1:11:00
[SPEAKER_02]: You want to keep going.
1:11:01
[SPEAKER_02]: We're going to do this.
1:11:02
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, he's their, their stock has risen for me.
1:11:05
[SPEAKER_02]: They've become two of my favorite to watch.
1:11:07
[SPEAKER_02]: So Brody, it was awesome.
1:11:10
[SPEAKER_02]: What else was there?
1:11:11
[SPEAKER_02]: There was a pack in some really weird gear.
1:11:16
[SPEAKER_00]: It was, but I kind of, I kind of like, I don't know, I like, at least I like the change, you know, like it's something different.
1:11:24
[SPEAKER_00]: He's looked the same forever.
1:11:25
[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, those two always have great matches and yeah, I, I feel this pretty good.
1:11:33
[SPEAKER_02]: So, Restyl Dream is definitely looking like a pretty solid paper view.
1:11:36
[SPEAKER_02]: Like we said, they've got some of those matches announced, Joe Hangman, the tag title match, Stattlander and Tony Storm, plus they've added the buck's Jurassic Express, like so far it's building up to something pretty solid.
1:11:51
[SPEAKER_02]: So definitely looking forward to that, looking forward to dynamite this week as well with the extra hour.
1:11:56
[SPEAKER_02]: And then it's only next week that it's Restyl Dream.
1:11:59
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
1:12:00
[SPEAKER_02]: So yeah.
1:12:02
[SPEAKER_02]: All right.
1:12:02
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, we got to get out of here, but appreciate everyone out there listening to us ramble about some wrestling.
1:12:07
[SPEAKER_02]: We will be live Tuesday right after NXT.

1:12:15
[SPEAKER_02]: Maybe some NXT TNA versus continue on there.
1:12:19
[SPEAKER_02]: Plus, I know to catch the versus Zack Saber Junior is today.

[SPEAKER_02]: Tonight this morning tomorrow morning.
1:12:24
[SPEAKER_02]: So possibly give a little chat about that.
