Latest / Solomonster Sounds Off / WWE Smackdown 2/27/26 Review | Jey Uso LEFT FOR DEAD And Masked Man REVEALED?
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: You know, Tomorrow night is the Elimination Chamber and I
- 0:05Speaker 1: expect that both Chamber matches tomorrow are going to be
- 0:10Speaker 1: very good. You know, last year we had the women's
- 0:12Speaker 1: Elimination Chamber match. I thought it was the best one
- 0:15Speaker 1: that they've ever done with the women. And you look
- 0:17Speaker 1: at the lineup of talent that they have in both
- 0:19Speaker 1: of these matches, I think it would be hard for
- 0:22Speaker 1: them to go in there and have bad matches tomorrow.
- 0:25Speaker 1: So I'm sure the matches themselves are going to deliver,
- 0:30Speaker 1: but they have not been helped by anything that WWE
- 0:33Speaker 1: has done to get them there. I can't really say
- 0:37Speaker 1: the WWE has done a whole hell of a lot
- 0:40Speaker 1: to inspire excitement around these Elimination Chamber matches. But the
- 0:46Speaker 1: talent will go out tomorrow night, the talent will do
- 0:48Speaker 1: with the talent usually does. They'll go in there and
- 0:51Speaker 1: they'll deliver. We had a change to the Elimination Chamber
- 0:55Speaker 1: tonight on the men's side. Now, if we go back
- 0:57Speaker 1: to Raw Monday night, we had one last quotqualifying match.
- 1:00Speaker 1: It was jay Uso, Bronson Reed and El Grande Americano
- 1:05Speaker 1: that was going to fill the final spot in the
- 1:06Speaker 1: men's Chamber match. We now know that it was supposed
- 1:10Speaker 1: to be Bronson Reid. He got hurt, torn by step
- 1:14Speaker 1: he's gone. Jay Usso got the win, yee, and so
- 1:19Speaker 1: jay Usso was going to be one of many babyfaces
- 1:23Speaker 1: in this match. Trick Williams was really the only heel
- 1:26Speaker 1: that was slotted into the men's elimination chamber match, and
- 1:29Speaker 1: you could barely call him that because every time he
- 1:31Speaker 1: comes out the fans cheer for him. Now there's talk
- 1:34Speaker 1: to WWE is thinking about turning him babyface, which would
- 1:37Speaker 1: be the worst fucking thing they could do. Don't do anything.
- 1:41Speaker 1: Leave him alone, let him get out, get let him
- 1:43Speaker 1: get over organically. The last thing we need is for
- 1:46Speaker 1: w W WED is our pushing him as a fucking babyface,
- 1:49Speaker 1: So don't fuck with that. But it threw their plans
- 1:52Speaker 1: into a bit of chaos here because they wanted the
- 1:55Speaker 1: vision in the chamber and now they had jay Uso
- 1:58Speaker 1: in there, and that changed everything. And so tonight SmackDown
- 2:01Speaker 1: came on the air with yet another mystery angle. Now,
- 2:06Speaker 1: at least this one was something that they had to
- 2:08Speaker 1: come up with at the last minute to try to
- 2:11Speaker 1: get things back in order. But It was not lost
- 2:15Speaker 1: on me that here we are again with Paul Levec
- 2:17Speaker 1: doing yet another mystery angle at a time where we
- 2:22Speaker 1: have a massd man, a mysterious mass man running around,
- 2:26Speaker 1: and we have the crate that's going to be opened
- 2:28Speaker 1: at the Elimination Chamber tomorrow. We have yet another mystery man,
- 2:33Speaker 1: but he was taken out by somebody, and we did
- 2:35Speaker 1: not find out yet who that person was. Maybe we will,
- 2:40Speaker 1: maybe we won't. I wonder if the implication here is
- 2:44Speaker 1: that the same person who took out Jacob Fatu all
- 2:47Speaker 1: those months ago, who he still believes was Drew McIntyre,
- 2:51Speaker 1: is going to end up being revealed as the same
- 2:53Speaker 1: person who took out jay Uso from the Elimination Chamber match.
- 2:58Speaker 1: We shall see on that if that's ends up panning
- 3:00Speaker 1: out that way. But you know, I was wondering, like, Okay,
- 3:06Speaker 1: what are they gonna do here? It was a hot
- 3:08Speaker 1: angle to start the show, Chaos and ambulance in the
- 3:11Speaker 1: back and everyone's freaking out, like what's going on here? Right?
- 3:14Speaker 1: It was a hot way to start the show, and
- 3:17Speaker 1: I'm thinking like, what are they gonna do here? And
- 3:20Speaker 1: somebody on the line they tweeted me with the suggestion
- 3:23Speaker 1: that perhaps Nick Aldos would force Drew McIntyre to put
- 3:27Speaker 1: his WWE championship on the line inside the chamber. And
- 3:31Speaker 1: I was very intrigued by this idea because it's not
- 3:34Speaker 1: as if we haven't had elimination chamber matches in the
- 3:37Speaker 1: past where the championship was being defended. I mean, we've
- 3:41Speaker 1: had that multiple times. So the more I thought about it,
- 3:45Speaker 1: I thought, you know what.
- 3:46Speaker 2: I like that idea.
- 3:48Speaker 1: I like that idea a lot. Because you still have
- 3:51Speaker 1: seven weeks left to build to wrestle Mania, A lot
- 3:56Speaker 1: of different things can happen as far as how do
- 3:58Speaker 1: you crown a new number? One can tender for the
- 4:00Speaker 1: WWE Championship of WrestleMania, presumably on Night one, and it
- 4:05Speaker 1: can make the next seven weeks of television that much
- 4:07Speaker 1: more interesting. Unfortunately, they did not go in that direction tonight,
- 4:12Speaker 1: and so what we ended up with was a match
- 4:14Speaker 1: between Jacob Fatu and Logan Paul. Because the vision showed up,
- 4:19Speaker 1: or I should say, what's left.
- 4:20Speaker 2: Of the vision.
- 4:20Speaker 1: The vision is more or less no more. The vision
- 4:23Speaker 1: is a tag team. Now the vision is Logan Paul.
- 4:25Speaker 1: In Austin theory, there is no vision the vision is obscured,
- 4:28Speaker 1: the vision is blurry. But we had Logan Paul against
- 4:31Speaker 1: Jacob Fatu in the main event tonight and they went
- 4:34Speaker 1: with I guess what should have been the obvious outcome here,
- 4:37Speaker 1: which is they basically just substituted one Vision member for another.
- 4:41Speaker 1: Instead of Bronson Reid going to the elimination chamber as
- 4:45Speaker 1: was rumored to be the original plan, it is going
- 4:47Speaker 1: to be Logan Paul where I presume the real mass
- 4:52Speaker 1: Man is going to show up and end up costing
- 4:55Speaker 1: Logan Paul his shot to go to WrestleMania to compete
- 4:59Speaker 1: for the WI Championship. And if you're wondering what I
- 5:02Speaker 1: mean when I say the real mass Man, because we
- 5:04Speaker 1: had the masked Man unmasked during the main event tonight,
- 5:09Speaker 1: would you like to see who the masked man was
- 5:12Speaker 1: that we are led to believe has been running around
- 5:15Speaker 1: now for months, weeks and weeks and weeks. Here is
- 5:20Speaker 1: the masked man, everybody the mass Man was. I have
- 5:24Speaker 1: no fucking idea. It's a guy, just a guy. You
- 5:31Speaker 1: might call him the decoy. Clearly, if we are going
- 5:35Speaker 1: to get a reveal at the end of all this,
- 5:37Speaker 1: this will not be the mass Man. Seth Rollins will
- 5:40Speaker 1: be the mass Man, that is, of course, if they
- 5:42Speaker 1: are even going to give us a reveal of who
- 5:44Speaker 1: the mass Man really is, because part of me does
- 5:46Speaker 1: wonder in light of how just absolutely unlucky the vision
- 5:53Speaker 1: has been, then how this group has falled apart, if
- 5:56Speaker 1: maybe this was their way of just writing off this
- 5:59Speaker 1: dumb angle tonight, you know what. I don't think it is,
- 6:02Speaker 1: But honestly, I wouldn't be mad. Seriously, I would not
- 6:06Speaker 1: be mad if it was, because this mass Man angle
- 6:10Speaker 1: at this point.
- 6:11Speaker 2: Is just a lost cause.
- 6:13Speaker 1: More likely, though than not, we will get the actual
- 6:16Speaker 1: revealed tomorrow with the elimination chamber. I presume it will
- 6:19Speaker 1: end up being Seth Rawlins, So we shall see. But yes,
- 6:22Speaker 1: if you believe that that was the actual mass Man,
- 6:25Speaker 1: don't a lot of very confused people when including Joe
- 6:30Speaker 1: Tessitour on commentary when the mask came off? Can you
- 6:33Speaker 1: imagine that was the guy?
- 6:34Speaker 2: Though?
- 6:35Speaker 1: Just some random guy who's been running around for weeks?
- 6:38Speaker 1: Everyone's like, oh boy, what big name is the mass Man?
- 6:42Speaker 1: And they take the mask off and it's some like
- 6:44Speaker 1: indie guy who is just trying to catch a break,
- 6:46Speaker 1: you know, what I mean, like, hey, you do what
- 6:49Speaker 1: you got to do to get noticed.
- 6:50Speaker 2: I guess right.
- 6:52Speaker 1: One thing that is very clear to me from watching
- 6:54Speaker 1: this Maine event tonight, Jacob fontu is going to be
- 6:57Speaker 1: wrestling for the WWE Championship or wrestle That's the one
- 7:01Speaker 1: really big positive to come out of what they did
- 7:03Speaker 1: in the main event tonight because Jacob fought Tou lost
- 7:07Speaker 1: that match because he got blasted in the head by
- 7:10Speaker 1: Drew McIntyre with the WWE title. Drew McIntyre, who had
- 7:15Speaker 1: been thrown out of the building, ejected out of the building,
- 7:18Speaker 1: escorted out of the building earlier in the show by
- 7:20Speaker 1: Nick Oldis. He wasn't even supposed to be there. This
- 7:24Speaker 1: is the second time now that Drew McIntyre has fucked
- 7:28Speaker 1: Jacob Fought Two out of a spot in the elimination
- 7:30Speaker 1: chamber and has screwed him out of the chance to
- 7:33Speaker 1: go to WrestleMania to wrestle for the championship. There's no
- 7:36Speaker 1: way at this point that Nick Aldis does not at
- 7:39Speaker 1: some point between now and WrestleMania, in the build up
- 7:42Speaker 1: to that show, give Jacob fought to the opportunity at
- 7:45Speaker 1: least to earn his way into the WWE title match,
- 7:50Speaker 1: because I believe Cody Rose will win the Chamber tomorrow,
- 7:54Speaker 1: but Jacob fought two is going to end up in
- 7:56Speaker 1: that match. If not a fatal four way, we are
- 7:58Speaker 1: going to get a triple threat match of that. I
- 7:59Speaker 1: am convinced after what we saw in the main event tonight.
- 8:03Speaker 1: And that's a good thing, because ain't nobody want to
- 8:05Speaker 1: see Cody Rose and Drew McIntyre one on one for
- 8:08Speaker 1: the WWE Championship. Not after we have seen it time
- 8:11Speaker 1: and time and time and time again. We saw it
- 8:13Speaker 1: in three Stages of hell. We have seen it multiple times.
- 8:17Speaker 1: At this point, that cannot be the main event of
- 8:20Speaker 1: WrestleMania Night one. So Jacob Fatu in defeat, I believe
- 8:25Speaker 1: uh punched his ticket to the WrestleMania title match. How
- 8:28Speaker 1: he gets there, of course, we'll have to watch the
- 8:31Speaker 1: show and we'll have to wait and see. But he's
- 8:32Speaker 1: been screwed twice now, so if anybody deserves some justice here,
- 8:37Speaker 1: it is Jacob Fatu. But in addition to that, we
- 8:41Speaker 1: have new women's tag team champions Naya Jacks and Lash Legend.
- 8:45Speaker 1: They call themselves now the Irresistible Forces beat Rhea Ripley
- 8:50Speaker 1: and EO Sky to win the Women's tag team titles
- 8:53Speaker 1: in what I thought was a pretty good match. And honestly,
- 8:56Speaker 1: nobody is happier than I because it means that rear
- 9:00Speaker 1: Riley and I hope EO Sky will end up having
- 9:04Speaker 1: other roles singles, rolls on the WrestleMania card. I'm a
- 9:07Speaker 1: little less sure of where Eo goes from here unless
- 9:12Speaker 1: the idea is to put her in the ring with
- 9:14Speaker 1: Julia for a US title match. But Rhea Ripley losing
- 9:18Speaker 1: the tag team titles tonight clearly now paves the way
- 9:22Speaker 1: for her to challenge Jade Cargill for the WWE Women's
- 9:26Speaker 1: Championship of WrestleMania. They you know, when you look at
- 9:31Speaker 1: the matches that they could have done. I am certain
- 9:34Speaker 1: that had she been able to come back earlier, the
- 9:37Speaker 1: WrestleMania match was going to be Bianca Belair against Jade Cargill.
- 9:42Speaker 1: And when it became clear that Bianca bell Air was
- 9:44Speaker 1: not going to make it back in time for WrestleMania,
- 9:46Speaker 1: the next logical choice you would think, in terms of
- 9:50Speaker 1: name value, in terms of big stars that you can
- 9:52Speaker 1: put in the ring with Jade would have been Charlotte Flair.
- 9:56Speaker 1: When Charlotte Flair was eliminated and did not qualify for
- 9:59Speaker 1: Thelmai Nation Chamber, I predicted that Hey, Alexa Bliss will
- 10:03Speaker 1: win the Elimination Chamber and then they will find a
- 10:06Speaker 1: way to get Charlotte Flair in that match and we'll
- 10:09Speaker 1: get a triple threat match of WrestleMania. Right, It's not
- 10:12Speaker 1: what would be the first time that Charlotte Flair worked
- 10:14Speaker 1: her way into a match to make it a triple
- 10:16Speaker 1: thread at WrestleMania. But then I watched the show tennight
- 10:19Speaker 1: and we got yet another teas of Rhea Ripley and
- 10:23Speaker 1: Jade Cargill, another run in in the backstage area, and
- 10:27Speaker 1: then a few segments later, Rhea Ripley loses her tag
- 10:31Speaker 1: Team championship. She is no longer shackled to the tag
- 10:34Speaker 1: team titles, and she is one of six in the
- 10:37Speaker 1: Elimination Chamber tomorrow. So you put two and two together,
- 10:40Speaker 1: and what is the next you know, outside of the
- 10:42Speaker 1: people that we already know are not facing Jade, what
- 10:45Speaker 1: is the biggest possible match they could do with Jade
- 10:48Speaker 1: car Gill of WrestleMania, Jade Cargill and Rio Ripley the
- 10:52Speaker 1: woman who apparently has the highest score, the highest ranking
- 10:56Speaker 1: in all of WWE two K twenty six. I think
- 10:58Speaker 1: she is ranked head and shoulders above everybody, certainly on
- 11:01Speaker 1: the women's side, but I think overall is that what
- 11:03Speaker 1: I read that Rhea has the biggest score, I think
- 11:07Speaker 1: even higher than Roman reigns, which makes sense because Roman
- 11:12Speaker 1: only wrestles five times a year, so I mean Ria
- 11:15Speaker 1: is there every week. So yes, Ria Ripley and Jade
- 11:18Speaker 1: car Gill. It seems very likely that that is going
- 11:23Speaker 1: to be the title match of WrestleMania. As far as
- 11:26Speaker 1: the rest of this show, the rest of the show
- 11:27Speaker 1: is not great, but it wasn't raw, and that is
- 11:30Speaker 1: honestly the best compliment I can pay this episode of SmackDown.
- 11:34Speaker 1: At least it wasn't that pile of shit that was
- 11:36Speaker 1: Monday Night Raw. Outside of the AJ style stuff pile
- 11:40Speaker 1: of shit that we got on Monday Night, the worst
- 11:42Speaker 1: raw of the entire year on Monday, this was not
- 11:45Speaker 1: as bad as that. Although there were large stretches of
- 11:48Speaker 1: this show where I was very bored. This was one
- 11:50Speaker 1: of those nights where the show is three hours and
- 11:52Speaker 1: you feel it when the show is on and they
- 11:55Speaker 1: have enough spread out that's really really good. You don't
- 11:59Speaker 1: feel the three hour much. Tonight was not one of
- 12:01Speaker 1: those nights. Tonight it felt every bit of three hours,
- 12:04Speaker 1: like this could have been a two hour show. So
- 12:06Speaker 1: I don't want to say that the show was great,
- 12:08Speaker 1: but it had its moments. Like I said, the Women's
- 12:10Speaker 1: tag team title match, I thought was pretty good. We
- 12:12Speaker 1: got a US title open challenge with Carmelo Hayes and
- 12:15Speaker 1: Matt Cardona. It was not the kind of knockdown drag
- 12:18Speaker 1: at we've seen him have with people in the past,
- 12:20Speaker 1: like Ray Phoenix or Iliya Dragonov, but I thought it
- 12:23Speaker 1: was a solid enough match they did. Unfortunately, have you
- 12:30Speaker 1: know what. I can't even say that the match itself
- 12:33Speaker 1: was terrible, but we had a match between Uncle Howdie
- 12:40Speaker 1: and Solo Socoa that had a clean, decisive finish that
- 12:46Speaker 1: would lead you to believe, with him getting the lantern back,
- 12:51Speaker 1: that this is the end of the Wyatt six and
- 12:55Speaker 1: the MFTs, And yet Triple H is continuing this story.
- 13:00Speaker 1: Paul Levec is dragging this out seemingly until WrestleMania. They
- 13:08Speaker 1: are completely devoid of any ideas when it comes to
- 13:11Speaker 1: the tag team division. Here on Friday Night SmackDown so
- 13:14Speaker 1: much so that they are going to unnecessarily drag this
- 13:17Speaker 1: out and extend this out, even though we got the
- 13:19Speaker 1: resolution tonight that we needed to this feud, a feud
- 13:22Speaker 1: that nobody asked for, a feud that is actively dragging
- 13:24Speaker 1: both groups and dragging this show down into the abyss.
- 13:30Speaker 1: That was the worst thing on the entire show. Now
- 13:34Speaker 1: we had some news as well. They announced tonight that WrestleMania,
- 13:39Speaker 1: of course two nights as usual, the first night of wrestling.
- 13:43Speaker 1: First of all, both knights of WrestleMania are kicking off
- 13:45Speaker 1: at six pm Eastern time, which I don't remember what
- 13:49Speaker 1: it was last year, Maybe it was six Last year,
- 13:51Speaker 1: I thought it was seven six pm Eastern start time
- 13:54Speaker 1: for both nights of WrestleMania. This year, WrestleMania is Saturday.
- 13:58Speaker 1: The first hour of the show, and addition, of course
- 14:00Speaker 1: to airing on the ESPN app or ESPN Unlimited, whatever
- 14:04Speaker 1: it is, the first hour of Night one is going
- 14:07Speaker 1: to be I guess simulcast on ESPN two. The first
- 14:13Speaker 1: hour of WrestleMania Sunday is going to be simulcast live
- 14:17Speaker 1: on the main ESPN channel. So for the first time ever,
- 14:21Speaker 1: WrestleMania will technically be airing on ESPN. It's only the
- 14:25Speaker 1: first hour of Night two, but it is airing on ESPN,
- 14:28Speaker 1: So I don't know how that's going to work in
- 14:30Speaker 1: terms of commercial breaks or anything like that. But that
- 14:34Speaker 1: was some news that they dropped on us during the
- 14:37Speaker 1: show tonight. I just want to I just want to
- 14:39Speaker 1: put this guy's face on the screen one more time.
- 14:42Speaker 1: If somebody recognizes him. I don't know, maybe he's from
- 14:45Speaker 1: Evolve or someone at the Performance Center. I don't know
- 14:48Speaker 1: who this guy is. He looks like a wrestler. He's
- 14:50Speaker 1: got the green hair, he looks exasperated. This this is
- 14:54Speaker 1: a funny image here. You know, this image reminds me
- 14:56Speaker 1: of remember that episode of Raw where d Angle was
- 15:00Speaker 1: in the ring with Triple H. I think this was
- 15:03Speaker 1: during the period where Kurd Angle was the Raw GM
- 15:08Speaker 1: and he made that very same face with the puffed
- 15:12Speaker 1: out cheeks and then Triple H punched him in the face.
- 15:15Speaker 1: That's what this reminds me of. He looks like a guy.
- 15:18Speaker 1: He's like, what am I doing here? He's like, you're
- 15:22Speaker 1: probably wondering how I ended.
- 15:23Speaker 2: Up in this situation. Anyway, this is.
- 15:27Speaker 1: Your Friday Night SmackDown review on the eve of Elimination Chamber.
- 15:32Speaker 1: It is February twenty seventh, twenty twenty six. I am
- 15:38Speaker 1: the solemn monster. That is Tiffany's new boyfriend. I don't
- 15:43Speaker 1: I don't think that's isn't her new boyfriend Egyptian? That
- 15:47Speaker 1: doesn't look like him? I don't know about that, but anyway, Yes,
- 15:53Speaker 1: this is your your pre Elimination Chamber SmackDown review. Like
- 15:58Speaker 1: and subscribe super chats are open. I do appreciate how
- 16:03Speaker 1: like the scene a ten team man. See now there's
- 16:09Speaker 1: agm or ring the fucking bell Sye, that guy right
- 16:16Speaker 1: there that is an authority figure that gets things done,
- 16:20Speaker 1: unlike Nick Aldis, who cannot even have his champions defending
- 16:24Speaker 1: their titles in a timely fashion. Do you realize that
- 16:27Speaker 1: it took Jade Cargill one hundred days before she defended
- 16:32Speaker 1: her Women's championship for the first time, And then tonight
- 16:35Speaker 1: he's admonishing the mft's backstage because, oh, you haven't had
- 16:39Speaker 1: a tag team title defense in a while. How about never?
- 16:44Speaker 1: We're closing in on forty days of no tag team
- 16:47Speaker 1: title matches, were getting teams down the stream? He doesn't
- 16:52Speaker 1: know how to lay down the low. Every week he's
- 16:53Speaker 1: telling Drew McIntyre leave the building, but he sneaks back in,
- 16:58Speaker 1: completely ineffective and impotent as the general manager of this show.
- 17:04Speaker 1: But yes, super chats are open, so get them on
- 17:06Speaker 1: and we have a bonus goal going here where if
- 17:10Speaker 1: we hit it, we will do an intergender round of
- 17:13Speaker 1: Be the Booker tonight. She is always very interesting, speaking
- 17:18Speaker 1: of which I should let you know. I am in
- 17:19Speaker 1: the middle of refreshing Be the Booker, and I have
- 17:23Speaker 1: made updates to Men's Be the Booker. I did not
- 17:26Speaker 1: have time to get to the rest yet, but I
- 17:27Speaker 1: am working my way through. So we have a new
- 17:30Speaker 1: and improved Men's Be the Booker if we end up
- 17:33Speaker 1: doing it tonight, which it's looking pretty good so far.
- 17:36Speaker 1: But get those likes up. Actually, we're gonna spin the
- 17:38Speaker 1: wheel right now and find out what the goal is
- 17:42Speaker 1: here to do be the Booker. Little thing we do
- 17:46Speaker 1: here at the beginning, ooh oh, we got a very
- 17:55Speaker 1: ambitious goal tonight, five hundred likes to do be the Booker.
- 18:01Speaker 1: Where are we right now? To sixty six? We got
- 18:03Speaker 1: some work to do. We got some work to do.
- 18:07Speaker 1: Five hundred likes if you guys want to be the
- 18:09Speaker 1: booker tonight, so get those likes up. And also I
- 18:13Speaker 1: will just remind you as many of you I'm sure
- 18:15Speaker 1: are a where tomorrow night I will be live on
- 18:18Speaker 1: YouTube for the Elimination Chamber review What's in the Box?
- 18:24Speaker 1: We'll find out what's in this stupid crate or who
- 18:27Speaker 1: is in this stupid crate tomorrow night, so you get
- 18:32Speaker 1: a bonus podcast. And then of course sound Off episode
- 18:34Speaker 1: nine to fifty three coming up on Sunday, so you
- 18:38Speaker 1: get a lot of me. I guess I'm doing a
- 18:39Speaker 1: show every day, every night, every day between now and Wednesday,
- 18:47Speaker 1: every day until Wednesday, including two on Tuesday. I will
- 18:52Speaker 1: not be here next Friday, though, so just be aware
- 18:55Speaker 1: of that. I will be in Chicago for House of Glory,
- 18:58Speaker 1: so last then review here for a couple of weeks.
- 19:01Speaker 1: But let's get into this show, shall we. Let's talk
- 19:05Speaker 1: about the chaotic open to this show. It started hot.
- 19:09Speaker 1: It started so promising because we had a cold open
- 19:13Speaker 1: and we had chaos in the back with an ambulance
- 19:16Speaker 1: and an unconscious Jay Usso being loaded into the back
- 19:20Speaker 1: of the ambulance. We don't know what happened to him?
- 19:22Speaker 1: Nick All, this is there, Cody Rhoades is wondering what
- 19:25Speaker 1: happened here. Jacob Fatto is pest is all hell. He's
- 19:29Speaker 1: going to go with his fellow Bloodline member here and
- 19:34Speaker 1: he gets into the back of the ambulance. Javon Evans
- 19:38Speaker 1: is there, Trick Williams is there. Everyone's wondering what's going
- 19:41Speaker 1: on here. So then we hear in the arena, we
- 19:46Speaker 1: hear someone saying four letters, one word, uh huh, Drew,
- 19:53Speaker 1: and it is our WWEE champion, Drew McIntyre who is
- 19:57Speaker 1: making his way through the crowd on his way to
- 20:01Speaker 1: the ring. And as he did with the attack on
- 20:04Speaker 1: Jacob fat too many months ago, he's insisting he had
- 20:08Speaker 1: nothing to do with what happened to Jay Uso tonight.
- 20:12Speaker 1: He hopped the barricade, he got into the ring and
- 20:14Speaker 1: he talked about I'm here to check out my competition
- 20:17Speaker 1: here for the elimination chamber. So out comes Nick All. This,
- 20:21Speaker 1: he's got security with him, and he recalled telling McIntyre
- 20:25Speaker 1: not to get involved. He told McIntyre to go to
- 20:28Speaker 1: his office because there were twenty wrestlers backstage who wanted
- 20:31Speaker 1: to tear him apart, and he's inclined to let them
- 20:34Speaker 1: do it. Cody Rhoades made his entrance and at that
- 20:39Speaker 1: point Drew decided to leave the ring and hop the
- 20:41Speaker 1: barricade and leave from whence he came and Cody wanted
- 20:44Speaker 1: to fight McIntire. Te's fighting him, and then he asked
- 20:47Speaker 1: him why should he He said that all this told
- 20:50Speaker 1: him to leave, so he was going to leave, and
- 20:53Speaker 1: Cody said the McIntyre's entire title run has been spent
- 20:56Speaker 1: running like a little bitch. Cody recalled mc and saying
- 21:00Speaker 1: that there would be no rematches, and he started to
- 21:03Speaker 1: talk about winning the elimination Chamber tomorrow and getting his
- 21:06Speaker 1: title shot, but he was interrupted by Randy Orton's music.
- 21:11Speaker 1: Orton was all fired up, said that what happened to
- 21:13Speaker 1: Jay Usso sucked and he felt bad for him, but
- 21:16Speaker 1: his only concern was winning the chamber and beating McIntyre
- 21:19Speaker 1: for his fifteenth World Championship at WrestleMania. So he got
- 21:25Speaker 1: into the ring, he started to address Cody and he
- 21:28Speaker 1: got cut off by Trick Willie's music. Trick Williams made
- 21:33Speaker 1: his way out, he said, Bruno Mars shouted him out.
- 21:35Speaker 1: On his new album that dropped today. I did not
- 21:37Speaker 1: know that Bruno Mars had a new album that dropped today,
- 21:40Speaker 1: so I guess let me know if there's anything worth
- 21:43Speaker 1: listening to on there. He was about to talk about
- 21:47Speaker 1: his Lemon Peppa steps, but before he could even talk
- 21:51Speaker 1: about them, he was cut off by Javon Evans music.
- 21:55Speaker 1: Javon blew right past him on his way into the
- 21:57Speaker 1: ring to join Orton and Cody. Evan said that he
- 22:00Speaker 1: was there to win the chamber and to beat Randy
- 22:03Speaker 1: Orton's record as the youngest world champion. And it is
- 22:08Speaker 1: very uh, it's pretty funny when you realize that the
- 22:11Speaker 1: only reason that Randy Orton became the youngest world heavyweight
- 22:15Speaker 1: champion is because they wanted someone to beat brock Lesner's record.
- 22:21Speaker 1: Because the year that Orton won the title from Bob
- 22:25Speaker 1: Holly at SummerSlam and became the world heavyweight champion, that
- 22:29Speaker 1: was the year that brock Lesner decided, I don't want
- 22:31Speaker 1: to do this no more and he left. And that
- 22:35Speaker 1: had a lot of people hot because they strapped the
- 22:38Speaker 1: rocket the racket, the rocket to him and the racket too.
- 22:41Speaker 1: They strapped the rocket to him and then he just
- 22:43Speaker 1: up and left. So they were like, you know what,
- 22:45Speaker 1: we don't want to refer to brock Lesner as the
- 22:47Speaker 1: youngest world heavyweight champion. We want Randy Orton to usurp
- 22:51Speaker 1: him and he will be the new youngest champion.
- 22:54Speaker 2: So there you go.
- 22:54Speaker 1: That's why he won the belt at Summer Slam in
- 22:56Speaker 1: O four. So La Night comes out and he gets
- 23:01Speaker 1: in the ring to join the party. Knight said that
- 23:03Speaker 1: he was hearing a lot of things, but everybody in
- 23:05Speaker 1: the chamber belonged to him, and that meant that Drew
- 23:09Speaker 1: McIntyre's title would belong to him. So Williams cut in
- 23:14Speaker 1: on Knight's He was about to do his catchphrase what
- 23:17Speaker 1: everybody's saying, and he got interrupted by Trick Williams, who said,
- 23:22Speaker 1: you know, whooped that trick? And Knight said, h what
- 23:26Speaker 1: was that again? You said whoop that trick? And he
- 23:30Speaker 1: said yeah, he goes okay and he whooped that trick
- 23:34Speaker 1: and he punched him in the face. So this led
- 23:36Speaker 1: to Knight and Williams. They brawl to the back Cody
- 23:40Speaker 1: Javon Orton. They were looking on and Randy Orton dropped
- 23:43Speaker 1: Javon Evans with an RKO. So we were left with
- 23:49Speaker 1: Cody Rhodes Randy Orton, a tent stare down here between
- 23:53Speaker 1: the two, and ultimately Orton left the ring and that
- 23:59Speaker 1: was how the said came to a close. So a
- 24:01Speaker 1: hot start to the show. Another fucking mystery angle, you know,
- 24:06Speaker 1: with jay Usso. But it was something that they had
- 24:09Speaker 1: to do because you know, look, they had to pivot
- 24:12Speaker 1: it's usually their favorite word here and get somebody else
- 24:16Speaker 1: in the match because jay Uso was not meant to
- 24:18Speaker 1: be in the Elimination Chamber match. And I got news
- 24:20Speaker 1: for you. I'm not heartbroken about jay Uso not being
- 24:23Speaker 1: in the Elimination Chamber, and not just because of the
- 24:25Speaker 1: yeat shit, but because you know, I want there to
- 24:28Speaker 1: be at least some plausible believability to the people who
- 24:33Speaker 1: are in the chamber match. That's when the Chamber is
- 24:36Speaker 1: at its best, when you can look at it and go, Okay,
- 24:38Speaker 1: this guy could win and that guy could win. And look,
- 24:41Speaker 1: I'm not saying Trick Williams realistically is gonna win the
- 24:44Speaker 1: Elimination Chamber. But jay Uso is not winning the Elimination Chamber.
- 24:48Speaker 1: It's a waste of a spot. He is one half
- 24:50Speaker 1: of the tag team Champions. He does not need to
- 24:52Speaker 1: be in the elimination Chamber match, and the only reason
- 24:56Speaker 1: he was was because of an injury. So find a
- 24:59Speaker 1: way to bounce out. This is what they came up with.
- 25:03Speaker 1: They had a few days to come up with a
- 25:05Speaker 1: plan B. This was their plan B. The backstage, as
- 25:09Speaker 1: Tiffany Stratton was being interviewed, Osca interrupted her. Both women
- 25:14Speaker 1: are in the elimination Chamber tomorrow night, and we ended
- 25:17Speaker 1: up with a match that was made between the two
- 25:19Speaker 1: of them. Four later in the show. That led into
- 25:22Speaker 1: our opening contest, which was are you ready for this?
- 25:26Speaker 1: Solo's Sokoa against Uncle Howdy, both men leaving their respective
- 25:33Speaker 1: families in the back, so it was just one on one.
- 25:38Speaker 1: Solo motioned towards the lantern before we got a test
- 25:42Speaker 1: of strength between the two of them. Howd he tried
- 25:45Speaker 1: for a sister Abigail. Solo rolled out of the ring
- 25:48Speaker 1: and it ringside. Solo missed a Samoan spike and he
- 25:53Speaker 1: spiked the post with his thumb. Now, this was not
- 25:56Speaker 1: a Mark Davis situation from Dynamite Life last week where
- 26:00Speaker 1: he punched the post and busted his hand open and
- 26:03Speaker 1: was bleeding all over the place, but he did. He
- 26:06Speaker 1: did miss uncle.
- 26:07Speaker 2: How to hear?
- 26:08Speaker 1: And he spiked the post instead. Back inside. How he
- 26:11Speaker 1: got thrown hard into the middle turn buckle that put
- 26:13Speaker 1: him out of commission for a bit, long enough for
- 26:16Speaker 1: them to sneak in a commercial break. We came back.
- 26:20Speaker 1: HOWD he was back in the ring trying to mount
- 26:22Speaker 1: to come back, he fell victim to a Samoan drop.
- 26:25Speaker 1: I just love we have a Samoan drop. We have
- 26:27Speaker 1: a Samoan spike. We have a Samoan splash. Am I
- 26:31Speaker 1: missing any other Samoan moves here? I feel like I'm
- 26:35Speaker 1: missing one.
- 26:37Speaker 2: You'll let me know.
- 26:39Speaker 1: So HOWD he started targeting the injured thumb to break
- 26:43Speaker 1: out of a hole, but he got dropped with a
- 26:44Speaker 1: spinning solo. I think he should call that the Samoan
- 26:48Speaker 1: solo just for the sake of consistency, or better yet,
- 26:53Speaker 1: spinning Samoan. There you go, spinning somebody. He's literally a
- 26:58Speaker 1: spinning Samoan and he hits the move that should be
- 27:01Speaker 1: the name of the I just renamed it. I just
- 27:03Speaker 1: renamed the fucking move on the top rope. Solo came
- 27:07Speaker 1: flying off with a diving splash on Howdy for a
- 27:10Speaker 1: two count. Howdy countered out of Solo Solo, I should say,
- 27:15Speaker 1: trying his sister Abigail. He countered out into a mandible claw.
- 27:19Speaker 1: Solo got out of it with a spike, which sent
- 27:22Speaker 1: Howdy into the corner, and Solo managed two running hip attacks,
- 27:26Speaker 1: but a third one got intercepted by Howdy, who finished
- 27:29Speaker 1: him off with sister Abigail for the clean and decisive win. Yes,
- 27:37Speaker 1: someone said the uh samoan spear? How did I forget that?
- 27:42Speaker 1: That's like a's low hanging fruit. Of course, yes, the
- 27:46Speaker 1: samoan spear. Say, we just named like five different moves.
- 27:53Speaker 1: I like the spinning samo and I think that's what
- 27:55Speaker 1: he should call it from now on. But yes, Uncle
- 28:00Speaker 1: Howdy pins Samoa Joe clean decisively. Look, the work in
- 28:06Speaker 1: the match itself was solid, all right. I can't say
- 28:09Speaker 1: it was the most exciting match. The work itself, though,
- 28:12Speaker 1: was solid. Matches was pretty dull. When the match is over,
- 28:17Speaker 1: Howdy is outside the ring and he reclaims the lantern,
- 28:21Speaker 1: and I'm like, I'm so happy for Uncle Howdy because
- 28:25Speaker 1: I'm because mainly I'm happy for myself that this feud
- 28:29Speaker 1: is finally over, and we can move beyond this, and
- 28:32Speaker 1: the Wyats can move on, and the MFTs can move on.
- 28:36Speaker 1: We could all move on. We can all rejoice. Then
- 28:40Speaker 1: out of nowhere he comes fucking Tallatonga with a boot.
- 28:45Speaker 1: He's like hanging over by the barricade, by the timekeeper's area,
- 28:49Speaker 1: and he gets.
- 28:50Speaker 3: Kicked in the fucking face by Talatonga and he takes
- 28:54Speaker 3: the lantern. He takes the lantern, and then the Wyots
- 29:01Speaker 3: run out and they chase the why ITTs. They chase
- 29:03Speaker 3: the MFTs off into the crowd, And I'm sitting here
- 29:06Speaker 3: and i am just I'm gobsbacked by this.
- 29:10Speaker 1: Why Why are we continuing this? I'm going to need
- 29:16Speaker 1: a good explanation for this. We had a clean, decisive
- 29:22Speaker 1: win in a singles match between the two leaders, the
- 29:25Speaker 1: leader of each group, he had the lantern and they
- 29:29Speaker 1: took it away from him again, and now we have
- 29:33Speaker 1: to relive this again and again and again because they
- 29:38Speaker 1: are creatively bankrupt when it comes to their tag team division.
- 29:43Speaker 1: This is what we are stuck with. This is what
- 29:46Speaker 1: happens when you have the other teams in your division,
- 29:48Speaker 1: not even all of them, but you have the other
- 29:50Speaker 1: teams in your division who are relegated to a backstage
- 29:53Speaker 1: segment later in the show, a comedy segment with the
- 29:57Speaker 1: Fucking Crate and Our Truth explaining to all of them
- 30:01Speaker 1: how they can order the pl tomorrow on the ESPN
- 30:05Speaker 1: app and walking them through the instructions. This is what
- 30:09Speaker 1: they have Phraxihim doing. This is what they have Los
- 30:11Speaker 1: Garza doing in the back. And I think I spotted
- 30:15Speaker 1: Ray Phoenix in there as well. We'll throw him in
- 30:17Speaker 1: there too. He's not in a tag team anymore, but
- 30:18Speaker 1: we'll throw him in there anyway. This is what happens
- 30:21Speaker 1: when you are totally incompletely bankrupt when it comes to
- 30:25Speaker 1: in this case, your tag team division. But really, I
- 30:27Speaker 1: mean a lot of these guys are in the mid
- 30:29Speaker 1: card Unsmackdown. They've got nothing going on, and this is
- 30:32Speaker 1: what they're doing with them, And instead we get the
- 30:34Speaker 1: same matches over and over again with these two factions,
- 30:38Speaker 1: which nobody asked for. But we saw the end of
- 30:42Speaker 1: the feud tonight. But they're going to drag this out
- 30:45Speaker 1: until WrestleMania. I guarantee you that's exactly what they're gonna do.
- 30:49Speaker 1: They are going to drag this out until WrestleMania, and
- 30:52Speaker 1: maybe they'll do some sort of stipulation match there and
- 30:56Speaker 1: he'll get the lantern back and nobody will give a
- 30:58Speaker 1: shit because he already got it back. I look when
- 31:03Speaker 1: I just when I saw Tallatanka come in with that
- 31:05Speaker 1: fucking boot, I was like, you have to be shitting
- 31:07Speaker 1: me with this. I don't know what else to say.
- 31:14Speaker 1: I really don't. I don't know what else to say.
- 31:18Speaker 1: We go backstage. Nick all This tells Drew McIntyre that
- 31:25Speaker 1: his opponent would be set after the elimination shamber. All
- 31:30Speaker 1: This told them, look, you go home and stay out
- 31:33Speaker 1: of trouble. So McIntyre talked about, look, you and I
- 31:36Speaker 1: have a long time relationship and you and I are
- 31:40Speaker 1: on the same page, So I'm gonna leave. I'm gonna
- 31:42Speaker 1: go home. So as he's leaving, Paul Hayman, Logan Paul,
- 31:47Speaker 1: and Austin Theory are walking in and but the scraps
- 31:52Speaker 1: of the vision basically show up here on SmackDown. Hayman
- 31:55Speaker 1: suggested to all This that Logan Paul be the one
- 31:58Speaker 1: to take Jay Usso spot in the elimination Chamber. Lantern
- 32:05Speaker 1: on a pole match says nine oh five. Frequency lantern
- 32:10Speaker 1: on a pole. So the payoff to this month's long
- 32:14Speaker 1: feud is a pole match. Really, I see maybe lantern
- 32:29Speaker 1: on an electric pole. If you touch the pole by accident,
- 32:34Speaker 1: you get five thousand volts jolting through your body. Remember
- 32:38Speaker 1: that game, the board game Operation. I used to play
- 32:41Speaker 1: that as a kid. You can't touch the uh you know,
- 32:44Speaker 1: the rim of the of the whatever, the person's insides,
- 32:48Speaker 1: whatever you're trying to I don't remember what the purpose
- 32:50Speaker 1: of the fucking game was, but like, if you touch it,
- 32:54Speaker 1: like you get a little bit of a shock, kind
- 32:55Speaker 1: of like it buzzes something like that. I kind of
- 33:00Speaker 1: feel like that I'd be okay with I'm just at
- 33:05Speaker 1: this point, I'm just done. So anyway, Logan is all
- 33:12Speaker 1: up now in nick Aldo's face and he's flexing with
- 33:15Speaker 1: his bicep and he's telling him to kiss it. He goes,
- 33:19Speaker 1: I give you my consent, and all this passes and
- 33:24Speaker 1: he says, oh, you're a loss. All this said, you know,
- 33:27Speaker 1: the timing of you guys showing up is very interesting,
- 33:29Speaker 1: coming just moments after Jay Ussel got hauled off in
- 33:31Speaker 1: an ambulance and Theory got in all this face. Hayman
- 33:35Speaker 1: calmed him down. Though all this said, adding logan to
- 33:39Speaker 1: the match, it was an interesting proposition. But I got
- 33:41Speaker 1: to make some phone calls. First, we had Rhea Ripley
- 33:45Speaker 1: and Eosky. They were interviewed ahead of their women's tag
- 33:47Speaker 1: team title defense tonight against Naya Jackson lash Legend. Ripley
- 33:52Speaker 1: said that she had to take things one at a
- 33:54Speaker 1: time and she was focused right now, not in the chamber,
- 33:56Speaker 1: but she was focused on defending her defending her titles
- 34:02Speaker 1: with EO and that was her main focus right now.
- 34:06Speaker 1: Jade Cargill showed up and she told Ria that no
- 34:10Speaker 1: one would have her back inside the chamber and that
- 34:12Speaker 1: should be her focus. And then she said, hopefully you
- 34:15Speaker 1: don't get hurt, you don't hurt yourself during the tag
- 34:19Speaker 1: team match tonight, and she walked away. Why would you
- 34:21Speaker 1: say that, Why would you jinx it with all the
- 34:23Speaker 1: injuries that we've had lately, don't even jinx it. This
- 34:28Speaker 1: company can ill afford to lose someone like Rhea Ripley
- 34:30Speaker 1: now heading into WrestleMania elsewhere. Nick Alldis was on the
- 34:36Speaker 1: phone when Jacob Fatu showed up. I guess he was
- 34:38Speaker 1: back from the hospital, and if Fatu proposed that he'd
- 34:42Speaker 1: be put into the chamber to replace jay Uso. He
- 34:46Speaker 1: told all this that he had a Drew problem. You
- 34:49Speaker 1: got a Drew problem. When I win the elimination Chamber,
- 34:54Speaker 1: I go to WrestleMania and I take care of Drew
- 34:56Speaker 1: back and Tire, I take care of your Drew problem.
- 35:00Speaker 1: And all this told fought too that he would take
- 35:02Speaker 1: his proposal under advisement. Now, it was supposed to be
- 35:07Speaker 1: Tiffany Stratton against Osca. Osca, though, came out and she
- 35:11Speaker 1: said that she was smart. I'm smart, and so instead
- 35:16Speaker 1: she was going to stay fresh for the elimination Chamber
- 35:18Speaker 1: tomorrow and she was not going to wrestle Instead, she
- 35:21Speaker 1: was going to have Kyrie Sane take her place, which
- 35:23Speaker 1: actually is very smart. Chelsea Green and Alba Fire, I
- 35:27Speaker 1: should point out they made their way out to the
- 35:29Speaker 1: ring before the match started. Alba was wheeling Chelsea out
- 35:35Speaker 1: to the ring, just like a FTR does with Stokely
- 35:38Speaker 1: Hathaway on Dynamite. Chelsea then joined Joe Tessitaur and Wade
- 35:42Speaker 1: Barrett on commentary. Early in the match. As Tiffany was
- 35:46Speaker 1: entering the ring, Osca distracted her. That allowed Kyrie to
- 35:49Speaker 1: take advantage, and she sent Stratton face first into the
- 35:52Speaker 1: ring post. That took us face first into a commercial break,
- 35:56Speaker 1: so we got the rolling sent on from Stratton. Moonsalt, ever,
- 36:00Speaker 1: though got blocked, and Kyrie took advantage. She hit the
- 36:04Speaker 1: double stomp from the top. Later on, she had Stratton
- 36:08Speaker 1: for some move on the apron and that got countered
- 36:11Speaker 1: into a soup plex attempt by Tiffany, but Kyrie was
- 36:14Speaker 1: able to reverse that into a spike DDT on the
- 36:17Speaker 1: apron and both women fell to the floor. Back inside,
- 36:22Speaker 1: Kyrie attempted an insane elbow Stratton, though recovered, then she
- 36:26Speaker 1: pushed her out of the ring into Alba fire. Chelsea
- 36:30Speaker 1: got up from her wheelchair. She was yelling at Tiffany,
- 36:32Speaker 1: who moved out of the way at the last second,
- 36:35Speaker 1: causing a diving Kyrie to collide into Chelsea. Stratton threw
- 36:41Speaker 1: Kyrie back inside, She hit the rolling sent on and
- 36:43Speaker 1: then put an end to things with the prettiest moon
- 36:45Speaker 1: salt ever for the wind. For those of you interested,
- 36:50Speaker 1: if you are a Tiffany Stratton fan, Ivy Nile has
- 36:54Speaker 1: her own YouTube channel. I forgot under what name it is.
- 36:57Speaker 1: I think it's her in her boyfriend or husband, whoever
- 37:01Speaker 1: it is that run the channel, and they put a
- 37:04Speaker 1: workout video I guess in Ivy's gym that they have built.
- 37:08Speaker 1: It looks like in their garage, but they've built out
- 37:11Speaker 1: this big gym and can't be her garage. It's bigger
- 37:15Speaker 1: than a garage. But anyway, there's a workout video up
- 37:19Speaker 1: right now with Tiffany Stratton and Ivy Nile And if
- 37:23Speaker 1: that's something you're interested in, you could find it on YouTube.
- 37:26Speaker 1: Don't ask me for the name of the channel because
- 37:28Speaker 1: I don't remember, but I was watching part of it
- 37:29Speaker 1: earlier today. Tiffany is going to be doing a bodybuilding
- 37:33Speaker 1: competition soon. By the way, last week, I will point
- 37:37Speaker 1: out to you that Tiffany score a win. I believe
- 37:40Speaker 1: it was over Alba Fire, Right was that last week
- 37:42Speaker 1: or the week before? I wasn't here last week, but
- 37:45Speaker 1: I did watch SmackDown when I got back from the
- 37:48Speaker 1: Hog Show, but she got to win over Alba Fire.
- 37:52Speaker 1: So this is not the first time that Tiffany Stratton
- 37:54Speaker 1: has been involved in a segment here with Alba and Chelsea,
- 37:58Speaker 1: and Julia is the one with the US title right now,
- 38:03Speaker 1: not Chelsea, but It does make me wonder if this
- 38:07Speaker 1: is a sign of what Tiffany might be doing at WrestleMania,
- 38:11Speaker 1: assuming she doesn't win the Chamber tomorrow, which I just
- 38:14Speaker 1: don't think she is, but it would, it would. I'd
- 38:17Speaker 1: be fine with it because it would avoid having to
- 38:19Speaker 1: do Tiffany and Jade again at WrestleMania. I have no
- 38:22Speaker 1: interest in seeing that again. But maybe Tiffany is going
- 38:25Speaker 1: to be involved in some sort of multi woman US
- 38:29Speaker 1: title match. That might be the only way the US
- 38:31Speaker 1: title gets on that WrestleMania card. So I mentioned EO
- 38:34Speaker 1: Sky before, maybe instead of EO Sky and Julia, maybe
- 38:38Speaker 1: Julia defends in a multi person match and maybe Tiffany's
- 38:41Speaker 1: in there. I could see Eo being in there. Chelsea
- 38:44Speaker 1: if she was recovered. I think she has a small
- 38:47Speaker 1: break in her ankle. If she's recovered in times, she
- 38:50Speaker 1: could be in there. That could be what we're looking at.
- 38:54Speaker 1: I mean, we'll find out tomorrow. If Tiffany wins the Chamber,
- 38:56Speaker 1: then this is all moot. But this is the second
- 38:59Speaker 1: time now she's been involved in something with Chelsea and Albus.
- 39:03Speaker 1: It just feels like she's slotted a little bit further
- 39:05Speaker 1: down the car not with jade A WrestleMania, the vision.
- 39:10Speaker 1: We're waiting patiently in Nick Aldos's office and all this
- 39:15Speaker 1: informed them that he spoke with his Raw counterpart Adam
- 39:18Speaker 1: Pierce and Logan. Paul will be in the elimination chamber,
- 39:22Speaker 1: provided he can win his match tonight in the main
- 39:26Speaker 1: event against Jacob Fatu, and Hayman was freaking out and
- 39:30Speaker 1: Logan conned him down. He was cool and cocky. He said, fine,
- 39:35Speaker 1: I'm gonna win. I'm gonna go into the chamber. I'm
- 39:37Speaker 1: gonna win the chamber, and I'm going to WrestleMania. After this,
- 39:42Speaker 1: we had the miss one on one with Oba Femei,
- 39:47Speaker 1: and I noticed that we did hit the goal here,
- 39:52Speaker 1: not the likes goal. We're still worth four oh seven,
- 39:55Speaker 1: or less than one hundred likes away from the likes goal.
- 39:58Speaker 1: But we hit the bonus goal, which is actually tied
- 40:01Speaker 1: into the main goal. So we'll see how that works out.
- 40:05Speaker 1: But yes, keep hitting that like button. We have the
- 40:08Speaker 1: miz and Oba Femi. As the bell rang, Mis rolled
- 40:13Speaker 1: out of the ring, he grabbed the mic. Mike grabbed
- 40:15Speaker 1: the mic and he told Femi that we don't have
- 40:18Speaker 1: to fight, but as the self proclaimed locker room leader.
- 40:23Speaker 1: We could use this as a teaching moment. This son
- 40:27Speaker 1: of a bit of stealing Chase Andre Chase's gimmick from NXT.
- 40:32Speaker 1: He's talking about teachable moments. Poor Andre Chase. He's gonna
- 40:37Speaker 1: have to come up with a whole new stick if
- 40:38Speaker 1: he ever gets called up. Mis talked about how many
- 40:41Speaker 1: years ago he made the mistake to go after locker
- 40:44Speaker 1: room leaders like Undertaker and Triple H. And he offered to.
- 40:50Speaker 2: Or.
- 40:50Speaker 1: He offered Oba to be his guide, stating that he
- 40:53Speaker 1: wanted to be his undertaker. Oba told him in a
- 40:58Speaker 1: manner far more menacing than I ever could. You don't
- 41:01Speaker 1: have a striking resemblance, but you do look like a
- 41:04Speaker 1: dead man to me. Femi gauged interest from the crowd
- 41:09Speaker 1: here in Louisville at this point on whether or not
- 41:11Speaker 1: he wanted to should he accept Miss's offer so they
- 41:14Speaker 1: could be the awesome rulers, And that didn't go over
- 41:18Speaker 1: very well. Oba just stared him dead in his eyes
- 41:21Speaker 1: and he declared, Mis, you're dying tonight, and again Mis
- 41:26Speaker 1: tried to beg off. That didn't work out too well
- 41:28Speaker 1: for him. He took a shot at Oba that was
- 41:30Speaker 1: very dumb, so Oba mowed him down with a clothesline.
- 41:34Speaker 1: Then Oba took down a diving Miss off the top
- 41:37Speaker 1: rope with one punch, just punched him in the gut
- 41:39Speaker 1: on his way down, and then he blocked Miss's attempt
- 41:44Speaker 1: at a skull crushing finale, and then he just heaved
- 41:49Speaker 1: him halfway across the ring. He yeaded him, He yeaeded
- 41:54Speaker 1: him halfway across the ring, and then Oba won with
- 41:57Speaker 1: his fall from grace power bomb. So look, opah Femi
- 42:03Speaker 1: continues to show up and kill people. He beat Kit
- 42:06Speaker 1: Wilson twice. He's being teased for a match on Raw
- 42:10Speaker 1: at some point soon with Russev. He easily dispatched the
- 42:15Speaker 1: mizz here tonight right, former WWE champion. And that's all
- 42:20Speaker 1: well and good. I just hope that they heard the
- 42:23Speaker 1: crowd on Monday night when brock Lesnar came out, he
- 42:27Speaker 1: didn't even really say anything. It was really Paul Hayman
- 42:30Speaker 1: who talked about the open challenge for brock Lesnar or WrestleMania.
- 42:33Speaker 1: Very interesting by the way that all of his dates
- 42:35Speaker 1: are all raw dates, and when they put Roman Reigns's
- 42:39Speaker 1: schedule up online, it's all raw dates, like they're putting
- 42:41Speaker 1: a real focus on fucking Raw over SmackDown. Not that
- 42:46Speaker 1: Raw couldn't use the help, but I just hope they
- 42:49Speaker 1: were really paying attention. Obviously they heard the chance. The
- 42:52Speaker 1: crowd has let them know what they want the match
- 42:56Speaker 1: to be at WrestleMania. Hopefully, when the time time is right,
- 43:01Speaker 1: Obafemi will be the one to come out and accept
- 43:03Speaker 1: the open challenge and that will be the WrestleMania match.
- 43:06Speaker 1: I really don't have any interest in any other Brocklesner
- 43:08Speaker 1: match or WrestleMania. I really don't. Oba is somebody who
- 43:13Speaker 1: you could at least use Brock in a way that
- 43:14Speaker 1: helps elevate Oba to that next level. Does that mean
- 43:18Speaker 1: Oba's going to beat him?
- 43:19Speaker 2: He may not.
- 43:20Speaker 1: If the idea is to run it back again at
- 43:22Speaker 1: some point and do a rematch, I could absolutely see
- 43:24Speaker 1: them having Brocklesner beat Obafemi. I think that would be
- 43:27Speaker 1: very stupid, but that is clearly a match that people
- 43:30Speaker 1: are ready to see based on the tease they did
- 43:34Speaker 1: at the Royal Rumble. When you tease people like that,
- 43:38Speaker 1: you're playing a very dangerous game if you then turn
- 43:41Speaker 1: around and you expect him to be out there on
- 43:44Speaker 1: television every week and chanting for anybody other than Obafemi.
- 43:48Speaker 1: Hopefully that is the payoff that we get at the
- 43:50Speaker 1: end of this rainbow here. They're going to take it
- 43:54Speaker 1: all the way to WrestleMania and not even tell us
- 43:56Speaker 1: who he's wrestling. I mentioned this the other night. You know,
- 43:58Speaker 1: one of the dates that Brock has is Madison Square
- 44:01Speaker 1: Garden at the end of March. I could see that
- 44:04Speaker 1: being the night that Oba steps up and accepts the challenge,
- 44:10Speaker 1: answers the challenge, and we get that setup for WrestleMania.
- 44:15Speaker 1: Carmel O Hayes was in the back and he was
- 44:18Speaker 1: very surprised to see Ilia Dragonov in a suit and
- 44:22Speaker 1: not dressed for combat, because he was ready to go
- 44:25Speaker 1: out to the ring for the US title Open Challenge,
- 44:28Speaker 1: and Dragonov said he didn't feel worthy after losing to
- 44:31Speaker 1: Tomatonga last week, and Hayes was not happy about this.
- 44:36Speaker 1: He said, look, I don't need a pep talk from you,
- 44:39Speaker 1: but look, you need to remind yourself of who you are,
- 44:43Speaker 1: because if you don't take your shot now, somebody else would.
- 44:48Speaker 1: And indeed that person who accepted the open challenge tonight
- 44:52Speaker 1: ended up being Matt Cardona, who was always ready, so
- 44:57Speaker 1: he was ready for this match here tonight, Cardona. I
- 45:00Speaker 1: held control through a break and during the commercial it
- 45:03Speaker 1: was just man, I mean, it was total silence, total
- 45:08Speaker 1: silence and apathy. I could hear this one guy in
- 45:11Speaker 1: the crowd, and it sounded like he was pretty far
- 45:14Speaker 1: out in the crowd too. It wasn't like he was
- 45:16Speaker 1: in the first few rows, just going woo woo woo,
- 45:19Speaker 1: and you could just hear him over and over again,
- 45:21Speaker 1: woo woo woo. At least when they came back from
- 45:25Speaker 1: commercial he had a Brosky boot. The crowd started, at
- 45:29Speaker 1: least making some kind of noise. Hayes eventually made a
- 45:34Speaker 1: comeback with a springboard clothesline. He absorbed a boot from
- 45:39Speaker 1: Cardona and bounced into the ropes to hit his version
- 45:41Speaker 1: of La Mistica for an earfall. Cardona blocked the first
- 45:45Speaker 1: forty eight attempt. He dropped him with a double underhook
- 45:47Speaker 1: power bomb, and then Hayes avoided a Brosky boot. He
- 45:51Speaker 1: tossed him overhead with the back body drop. As Hayes
- 45:54Speaker 1: headed up top, Cardona woke up and caught him with
- 45:57Speaker 1: a Frankensteiner. Hayes head to the top, he went for nothing,
- 46:01Speaker 1: but net Cardona dodged it. He landed a rough rider
- 46:04Speaker 1: only for a near fall. Hayes, though finally did hit
- 46:07Speaker 1: the first forty eight for the win to retain the titles.
- 46:10Speaker 1: So again, this was it was very different from a
- 46:13Speaker 1: lot of the Open Challenge matches that we've had before.
- 46:17Speaker 1: This was not one of the better ones. I mean,
- 46:19Speaker 1: there's nothing wrong with it. I thought it was a
- 46:21Speaker 1: solid enough match. It just wasn't anything terribly exciting. And
- 46:25Speaker 1: in this case, unlike you again, if he was in
- 46:28Speaker 1: there with an Alia Dragon of or someone like that,
- 46:30Speaker 1: you have at least some doubt like, oh, is this
- 46:33Speaker 1: the night he drops the belt? Right? There was no
- 46:35Speaker 1: doubt here, Like we knew, there was no doubt here.
- 46:38Speaker 1: So it was hard for people to really get into it.
- 46:40Speaker 1: And why. And again, when we've seen Cardona on this
- 46:43Speaker 1: show in recent weeks, he's been hanging out in the
- 46:46Speaker 1: back with Apollo Cruise, who never does anything on this show.
- 46:51Speaker 1: You know, that's the thing. When you slot somebody at
- 46:53Speaker 1: a certain level, that is how people are going to
- 46:55Speaker 1: look at them. So they're not going to buy into
- 46:57Speaker 1: the idea that Matt Cardona is going to go in
- 47:00Speaker 1: there and beat Carmelo Hayes to win the US Championship,
- 47:02Speaker 1: because that would be dumb, especially this close to WrestleMania.
- 47:07Speaker 1: But this was the point in the show where the
- 47:10Speaker 1: SmackDown Tag Team Division stood in front of the giant
- 47:14Speaker 1: mystery crate in the back wondering what the hell was
- 47:18Speaker 1: inside when Our Truth showed up and he was standing
- 47:24Speaker 1: in front of I don't even know what it was.
- 47:26Speaker 1: It was like a makeshift booth. It looked like a
- 47:29Speaker 1: fucking lemonade stand or whatever, and it had like the
- 47:31Speaker 1: ESPN letters up there, and he was explaining how to
- 47:36Speaker 1: order the ple on the ESPN app, which we have
- 47:40Speaker 1: seen this before. They did a segment exactly like this
- 47:44Speaker 1: a number of months ago, and I think Angel Garzi
- 47:47Speaker 1: even said, you know, like you've you've told us before,
- 47:51Speaker 1: but since we're all fucking idiots, we need Our Truth
- 47:54Speaker 1: to show us how to use the app, and show
- 47:58Speaker 1: all these guys how to use the app because they
- 48:00Speaker 1: don't know how to do it. Candace Larray at this point,
- 48:03Speaker 1: rolled another crate or a production one of his production
- 48:07Speaker 1: cases interview with her depressed husband laying face down on
- 48:12Speaker 1: top of it. Kit Wilson then showed up. But this
- 48:15Speaker 1: is quite a segment here. As you can tell, Kit
- 48:18Speaker 1: Wilson shows up and he calls everybody in the room
- 48:21Speaker 1: toxic for laughing at Gargano's plight. This was cringe city.
- 48:29Speaker 1: That's all I had to write here, two words. Cringe
- 48:33Speaker 1: city is what this segment was. We had Jordan Grace
- 48:39Speaker 1: against Candice Larray. Johnny Gargano was out there. Johnny Gargana
- 48:43Speaker 1: was laying face first down on the very edge of
- 48:47Speaker 1: the announced desk. That is where he stayed for the
- 48:51Speaker 1: majority of this match. He laid there basically like catatonic,
- 48:55Speaker 1: as his wife wrestled in the ring. But he was
- 48:59Speaker 1: laying there in a catatonic state like me for most
- 49:02Speaker 1: of this show tonight. For about the last hour, I
- 49:04Speaker 1: would say of this show, that was me. So Candace
- 49:09Speaker 1: locked in a sleeper until Jordan powered out of it.
- 49:12Speaker 1: Up and over to the apron went Lorey, who headed
- 49:14Speaker 1: up top. Grace, though, hit her with a single shot
- 49:17Speaker 1: and then she turned that into a stalling superplex from
- 49:19Speaker 1: the middle rope. She followed that with a modified jackhammer.
- 49:23Speaker 1: Candace kicked out. So Candace at one point here spotted
- 49:27Speaker 1: her husband suddenly sit up on the announced desk, and
- 49:31Speaker 1: then Gargano ambled off with his head down. He's leaving,
- 49:37Speaker 1: and this distraction was enough for Jordan to catch Candace
- 49:41Speaker 1: with a pump handle German supplex for the win. Now,
- 49:46Speaker 1: I looked at the clock when this match ended, and
- 49:48Speaker 1: to the point that I made at the beginning of
- 49:49Speaker 1: this review that there are just certain weeks where this
- 49:53Speaker 1: three hour show feels every bit of those three hours.
- 49:58Speaker 1: I looked at the clock and I realiz, it's only
- 50:01Speaker 1: nine fifty four pm. We have another hour of this.
- 50:07Speaker 1: It was one of those weeks. There is a lot
- 50:11Speaker 1: more offense, I will say in this match for Candice
- 50:14Speaker 1: Lay than I would have expected, and because of that,
- 50:16Speaker 1: the crowd was silent. They were silent for most of
- 50:20Speaker 1: it outside of that stalling super plex that Jordan did.
- 50:24Speaker 1: I don't know what the payoff is supposed to be
- 50:27Speaker 1: to the Johnny Gargano stuff. I'm not convinced there is
- 50:30Speaker 1: going to be a real payoff here. I think they
- 50:33Speaker 1: were caught somewhat flat footed by Tamaso Champa's decision not
- 50:37Speaker 1: to re sign, and so in the absence of having
- 50:42Speaker 1: him around his Gargano's tag team partner, they're lost they're
- 50:46Speaker 1: lost as far as what to do with Johnny Gargano.
- 50:48Speaker 1: And I will say this, you know, Johnny Gargano is
- 50:50Speaker 1: a great wrestler. And I said this before about the
- 50:54Speaker 1: Viking Raiders, the war Raiders. What have you come post WrestleMania.
- 51:01Speaker 1: I'd be very worried if I were certain people on
- 51:03Speaker 1: this roster, you know when those post WrestleMania cuts hit,
- 51:07Speaker 1: and I'm sure they will if you're Johnny Gargano. I mean,
- 51:10Speaker 1: just look at what they have you doing every single week. Literally,
- 51:13Speaker 1: you show up to work every week and you're just
- 51:16Speaker 1: laying face down on top of a crate, on top
- 51:19Speaker 1: of a table. This is not a gimmick that is
- 51:23Speaker 1: going to be something that the company is going to
- 51:28Speaker 1: build any real story off of. It is something for
- 51:31Speaker 1: you to do in the meantime until they either a
- 51:34Speaker 1: come up with something better for you to do or
- 51:36Speaker 1: b they get.
- 51:37Speaker 2: Rid of you.
- 51:40Speaker 1: But this ain't gonna last that much longer. Backstage, Jade
- 51:46Speaker 1: Cargill warned Raquel Rodriguez that she would put her down
- 51:49Speaker 1: because Raquel was being interviewed. Everybody was there tonight, Raw
- 51:52Speaker 1: and SmackDown. That's basically every week on this show. So
- 51:56Speaker 1: in the middle of Raquel's interview, she's interrupted by Jay.
- 51:58Speaker 1: Jade was going around all night just interrupting people's interviews
- 52:01Speaker 1: and warning them and threatening them. She also cut her
- 52:05Speaker 1: hair short, by the way, had a new hairstyle tonight,
- 52:07Speaker 1: and she told Raquel that she would put her down
- 52:11Speaker 1: if she went on to win the elimination Chamber and
- 52:14Speaker 1: face her WrestleMania. So after Raquel left Meechen and BFAB
- 52:18Speaker 1: yet again showed up to confront Jade, and Jade didn't
- 52:24Speaker 1: look all that terrified by these two. Jacob thought Too,
- 52:29Speaker 1: was warming up elsewhere in the back, and Cody Rhodes
- 52:33Speaker 1: walked up to him and said, believe it or not,
- 52:36Speaker 1: I want you to win. I hope you win your
- 52:38Speaker 1: match later tonight, Sammy's ain't appeared in front of Cody
- 52:42Speaker 1: and he got a quick handshake off went Cody. Sammy
- 52:45Speaker 1: went over to talk to Jacob and he indirectly accused
- 52:51Speaker 1: him perhaps maybe maybe he was the man, Maybe Jacob
- 52:57Speaker 1: was the man responsible for what happened to Jay. Use
- 53:00Speaker 1: Fa obviously didn't take very kindly to that accusation, and
- 53:04Speaker 1: he shouted that, you know, McIntyre directly screwed him. Out
- 53:06Speaker 1: of the chamber qualifier. It was him who got Claymore
- 53:11Speaker 1: kicked and screwed out of a spot in the elimination chamber.
- 53:14Speaker 1: Even Cody Rhoades got Claymore kicked. You know who did
- 53:17Speaker 1: not get Claymore kicked in that triple threat qualifying match.
- 53:21Speaker 1: They all had Sammy's Ain. So Sammy tried to apologize,
- 53:28Speaker 1: and fat Tu ended up leaving to go get ready
- 53:31Speaker 1: for his match. He didn't want to hear it. Sammy
- 53:32Speaker 1: was trying to explain to him. You know, he just
- 53:34Speaker 1: he's been on edge lately. He's just he's not in
- 53:37Speaker 1: a good headspace. So Fatu left and then in a
- 53:40Speaker 1: fit of rage, Sammy flipped over a nearby table as
- 53:45Speaker 1: he continues to slowly lose his mind. And there they
- 53:50Speaker 1: are teasing a potential Sammy's Ain heel turn, which I
- 53:54Speaker 1: am not against. I think it could be just what
- 53:57Speaker 1: he needs before he eventually goes back babyface. But you
- 54:00Speaker 1: got to hit bottom, you know, you got to hit
- 54:03Speaker 1: rock bottom before you climb your way out of that
- 54:05Speaker 1: hole and try to climb back to the top. If
- 54:07Speaker 1: Sammy's Ain is going to be a World heavyweight champion
- 54:10Speaker 1: at some point, it's not going to happen anytime soon.
- 54:14Speaker 1: So he has not yet hit rock bottom in this story,
- 54:17Speaker 1: but I think we are seeing him in the midst
- 54:19Speaker 1: of doing that. So it'll be interesting to see do
- 54:22Speaker 1: they pull the trigger and have him go heal? Is
- 54:25Speaker 1: Is he going to be revealed? Is the man who
- 54:27Speaker 1: was responsible for whether it's attacking Jacob or attacking Jay.
- 54:32Speaker 1: Maybe they're not the same person. Maybe he has nothing
- 54:36Speaker 1: to do with that, and he just he just snaps
- 54:37Speaker 1: because he's tired of being overlooked and he's tired of
- 54:40Speaker 1: being screwed. And I even talked about, you know, the
- 54:43Speaker 1: potential for Cody Rhodes if he wins the belt back
- 54:45Speaker 1: of WrestleMania for Sammy's ain coming out of Mania, it'll
- 54:48Speaker 1: be maybe the first person he feuds with, you know,
- 54:50Speaker 1: if Sammy kind of goes nuts and attacks Cody. Right,
- 54:53Speaker 1: you can't discount that as a possibility either. Yeah, they're
- 54:58Speaker 1: telling some kind of story with Samy's We'll see where
- 55:01Speaker 1: it pans out, but I'm interested to see where they
- 55:03Speaker 1: take it.
- 55:06Speaker 2: Now.
- 55:06Speaker 1: At this point, we had Rhea, Ripley, and Eosky defending
- 55:09Speaker 1: their women's tag team titles against Naya Jacks and Lash
- 55:13Speaker 1: Legend the Irresistible Forces what they call themselves. Now, there
- 55:20Speaker 1: was a spot, I don't know, maybe midway through the
- 55:22Speaker 1: match where uh, Eosky got well, let me, let me,
- 55:29Speaker 1: let's get into what went down here. Before I even
- 55:32Speaker 1: get into that, they went to a commercial break. They
- 55:34Speaker 1: came back from the commercial and Lash absolutely flattened EO
- 55:39Speaker 1: with a massive, big boot. She was able to eventually
- 55:43Speaker 1: grab a hot tag though from Rhea Ripley, who escaped
- 55:46Speaker 1: a samoan drop attempt by nya missile drop kick from
- 55:49Speaker 1: Rihea got a near fall. EO was looking for the
- 55:52Speaker 1: tag back in Legend, though, pulls her down off the
- 55:55Speaker 1: apron to prevent the tag from happening. Now, she went
- 55:58Speaker 1: to go send EO into the race steps. EO reversed it,
- 56:03Speaker 1: and Lash took this just hilariously horrible bump into the
- 56:08Speaker 1: steps where they kind of lost each other and she
- 56:11Speaker 1: she kind of threw herself into the steps. It looked,
- 56:13Speaker 1: it looked terrible inside the ring. This gave Naya the
- 56:17Speaker 1: opening to hit a samo and drop on Rhea as
- 56:20Speaker 1: she pulled her into the corner to set up for
- 56:22Speaker 1: an annihilator. Rhea, though was able to avoid it. She
- 56:25Speaker 1: hit a cheeky Nando's kick in the corner and then
- 56:27Speaker 1: lifted her out of the corner and even walked with
- 56:30Speaker 1: her a little bit, and then power bombed. Nya only
- 56:32Speaker 1: got a near fall, so Ripley then floored Nya with
- 56:36Speaker 1: a shining Wizard and she rolled out Naya that is
- 56:40Speaker 1: rolled outside. Rhea followed with a cannon ball off the apron.
- 56:43Speaker 1: They took the second commercial break here.
- 56:46Speaker 2: Of this match.
- 56:47Speaker 1: So later on, Legend connected with a choked slam. Nya
- 56:50Speaker 1: follow that with a leg drop. Eo made the safe
- 56:52Speaker 1: to break up the count that followed, Legend had Eo
- 56:57Speaker 1: up at a power bomb position, she was able to
- 56:59Speaker 1: avoid it sent her out of the ring. Meanwhile, Ripley
- 57:02Speaker 1: avoided the running attack from Nya Jax, which caused Naya
- 57:06Speaker 1: to post herself shoulder first in the corner. Eo got
- 57:10Speaker 1: the hot tag. She used her speed to hit Legend
- 57:12Speaker 1: with a double stomp and Legend stunned in the corner.
- 57:16Speaker 1: EO connected on the bullet train knees. EO hit her
- 57:19Speaker 1: over the moon salt on lash. Nya broke up the pin.
- 57:23Speaker 1: Nya got Eo in position for an Annihilator and crushed
- 57:26Speaker 1: her with it. Lash, who was legal, covered EO, but
- 57:30Speaker 1: Rhea pulled Lash out of the ring to save the titles.
- 57:32Speaker 1: Back inside, Ripley hit Riptide on Naya, but again Lash
- 57:36Speaker 1: was the legal woman. Rhea didn't know this, so Lash
- 57:40Speaker 1: Legend grabs Rhea Ripley and she hooks her in position
- 57:43Speaker 1: for her Lash Extension finish, and she drops her with
- 57:47Speaker 1: it and she pins Rhea Ripley, not Eo Sky. She
- 57:53Speaker 1: pinned Rhea Ripley, who again has the highest score. I
- 57:57Speaker 1: do believe in WWE two K twenty six, so they
- 58:00Speaker 1: should tack on a few points now to Lash Legends score.
- 58:05Speaker 1: And we have new women's tag team champions, and I
- 58:08Speaker 1: rejoice because finally we can get Ria and Eo involved
- 58:12Speaker 1: in something other than the tag team title scene. I
- 58:16Speaker 1: thought the match, it was a good match that they had,
- 58:19Speaker 1: and I have no issue with them doing a title
- 58:20Speaker 1: change here. I really don't have anything bad to say
- 58:23Speaker 1: about it. And now it opens the door for Rhea
- 58:26Speaker 1: Ripley to win the Elimination Chamber tomorrow and have her
- 58:30Speaker 1: challenge Jade car Gill of WrestleMania, which it seems very
- 58:34Speaker 1: likely to me to be the outcome of that match tomorrow.
- 58:37Speaker 1: Because think about it, Like, if they don't do that
- 58:41Speaker 1: is the plan, what would the plan be? Would the
- 58:43Speaker 1: plan be for Rhea, Ripley, and Eosky to just continue
- 58:46Speaker 1: chasing after the women's tag team titles? Like you've put
- 58:50Speaker 1: the belts now on Naya and Lash. I am certain
- 58:53Speaker 1: they will be defending those titles, if not in a
- 58:55Speaker 1: multi team match at WrestleMania. They're going to defend those
- 58:58Speaker 1: belts against the Bella Twins, Like that's going to be
- 59:00Speaker 1: the match at wrestle Media. You have the belts on
- 59:03Speaker 1: a heel team, The Bells are going to be pushed
- 59:05Speaker 1: as a babyface team, very likely are going to win
- 59:08Speaker 1: the tag team titles a WrestleMania. It almost doesn't even matter.
- 59:12Speaker 1: But I mean, if you want to get more people
- 59:14Speaker 1: on the card, you can have Bailey and Lyra, you
- 59:17Speaker 1: can have Osca and Kyrie. That's why I say it
- 59:19Speaker 1: could be a multi team match. But that seems to
- 59:22Speaker 1: be the direction to me. So then where do you
- 59:25Speaker 1: slot Rear, Ripley and Eosky on that show? Realistically, I
- 59:28Speaker 1: don't see them wrestling each other, although I'd love to
- 59:30Speaker 1: see it. Who does Reo Wrestle. She's not wrestling Stephanie Vaquerre.
- 59:35Speaker 1: She's wrestling Jade Cargill. Seems pretty clear to me that's
- 59:40Speaker 1: the direction they're going in. Now, what's my overall score
- 59:43Speaker 1: in two K twenty so, oh solo monster, I mean please,
- 59:45Speaker 1: I have a one to oh one.
- 59:46Speaker 2: That's my score.
- 59:50Speaker 1: It's like when Dave started giving out six stars in
- 59:53Speaker 1: the newsletter. As ridiculous as that is, my rating is
- 59:56Speaker 1: over one hundred. My rating because it's up to one hundred, right,
- 59:59Speaker 1: I think my rating is like one to three.
- 1:00:02Speaker 2: I'm special.
- 1:00:05Speaker 1: Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss, they were in the back
- 1:00:09Speaker 1: and they were commiserating with one another. Charlotte was eating
- 1:00:12Speaker 1: out of these pints of ice cream. She had three
- 1:00:16Speaker 1: pints of ice cream that she was eating out of.
- 1:00:19Speaker 1: She was very upset that we just saw Naya and
- 1:00:23Speaker 1: Lash win the tag team titles. She said to Alexa.
- 1:00:26Speaker 1: As Alexa walked in, did you see we have new
- 1:00:28Speaker 1: tag team champions? So Julia and Keana James walked in
- 1:00:33Speaker 1: and they mocked them, and the two of them reiterated
- 1:00:36Speaker 1: their goals of being double champions. Flair, still eating her
- 1:00:40Speaker 1: ice cream, said neither Keana nor Julia could have any
- 1:00:44Speaker 1: of it. And then Jade Cargill walked in and sarcastically
- 1:00:47Speaker 1: wished Keana and Alexa luck in the chamber tomorrow. And
- 1:00:51Speaker 1: then as Jade walked off, Charlotte pouted, Sure doesn't feel
- 1:00:56Speaker 1: like Charlotte and Alexa are going to have anything to
- 1:00:58Speaker 1: do with the women's World title picture of WrestleMania. It's
- 1:01:01Speaker 1: just not the impression I got from what we saw tonight.
- 1:01:04Speaker 1: Now elsewhere your favorite faction was back. Yes, the MFTs,
- 1:01:10Speaker 1: Solo Socoa and the MFTs. They were talking to Nick
- 1:01:13Speaker 1: Aldis complaining that something needed to be done with the whites.
- 1:01:16Speaker 1: Oh yes, something needs to be done about this. Me
- 1:01:18Speaker 1: and Solo are on the same page. We're in agreement
- 1:01:21Speaker 1: on this. Something sure does need to be done about this.
- 1:01:24Speaker 1: So Alda said it was the MFTs causing all of
- 1:01:26Speaker 1: the chaos and suggested that maybe it was time to
- 1:01:29Speaker 1: do something about their WWE tag team titles, which they
- 1:01:33Speaker 1: have not defended in some time. And I will once
- 1:01:35Speaker 1: again point out to you that Nick Aldis has been
- 1:01:40Speaker 1: a very lackluster general manager when it comes to forcing
- 1:01:44Speaker 1: his champions to defend their titles in a timely fashion.
- 1:01:48Speaker 1: He allowed Jade car Gil to go one hundred plus
- 1:01:50Speaker 1: days before her first title defense, and the Wyatts six or,
- 1:01:54Speaker 1: I should say, after the Whites lost their titles to
- 1:01:56Speaker 1: the MFTs, the MFTs have gone nearly four days without
- 1:02:02Speaker 1: a single title defense. Now, I know this hasn't been
- 1:02:06Speaker 1: a thing for a number of years now, but I
- 1:02:08Speaker 1: was a fan back in the day of forcing champions
- 1:02:12Speaker 1: to defend their titles at least once every thirty days.
- 1:02:15Speaker 1: I think we need to reinstate the thirty day rule
- 1:02:18Speaker 1: in WWE. At least one title defense every thirty days minimum.
- 1:02:24Speaker 1: If I were the general manager of this show, that
- 1:02:28Speaker 1: is the first rule that I would institute. I'll call
- 1:02:31Speaker 1: it the Tunny rule. At least one defense every thirty days.
- 1:02:35Speaker 1: Got to keep things moving along, got to keep things exciting.
- 1:02:38Speaker 1: You're not going to hoard title belts on my show.

- 1:04:38Speaker 1: dot com slash harmony. All this did point out that
- 1:04:42Speaker 1: next week they're going to decide who the number one
- 1:04:44Speaker 1: contenders are for the tag team titles, and I wish
- 1:04:46Speaker 1: I could bring myself to care, but I don't, so
- 1:04:49Speaker 1: we'll move on from this. Kathy Kelly was in the
- 1:04:51Speaker 1: back to interview the new women's tag team champions about
- 1:04:54Speaker 1: their big win. Naya Jax pointed out the fact that
- 1:04:57Speaker 1: she is now a three time women's tag team champion
- 1:05:00Speaker 1: and Lash Legend has just won her first title on
- 1:05:02Speaker 1: the main roster, and Legend said that next week they're
- 1:05:06Speaker 1: going to celebrate in the biggest and baddest way possible. Elsewhere,
- 1:05:10Speaker 1: Randy Orton was walking when he was confronted by carrying
- 1:05:14Speaker 1: Cross and Scar Oh sorry, I meant Alistair Black and
- 1:05:18Speaker 1: Zelina confronted them or confronted him backstage. Black wondered if
- 1:05:22Speaker 1: that Black mass kick last week woke up something inside
- 1:05:25Speaker 1: of Orton, and Black said that he hoped Orton would
- 1:05:28Speaker 1: use it well. Orton said, you know, you think that
- 1:05:30Speaker 1: you know what's going on in my head. I don't
- 1:05:32Speaker 1: even know what's going on inside my own head. Orton
- 1:05:36Speaker 1: said he was sick of this. He said, after I
- 1:05:37Speaker 1: win the chamber, I'm going to come find you, and
- 1:05:41Speaker 1: then he left, and Black said, of course you will,
- 1:05:44Speaker 1: because we planned it that way. And they closed the
- 1:05:50Speaker 1: show with the final impromptu Elimination Chamber qualifiers. See, we
- 1:05:54Speaker 1: thought we were all done with the qualifying matches, but
- 1:05:56Speaker 1: we got one more here. Jacob fought two one on
- 1:05:59Speaker 1: one with Logan. Paul so Theory distracted Fat too long
- 1:06:03Speaker 1: enough for Logan to hit him from behind that kicked
- 1:06:06Speaker 1: off the match. Fat two shoved Logan off the ropes,
- 1:06:09Speaker 1: he went for a swantan, Logan got his knees up,
- 1:06:12Speaker 1: and Logan followed up with a blockbuster, and then he
- 1:06:15Speaker 1: overshot a springboard moon salt where he got a little
- 1:06:19Speaker 1: piece of Jacob on the way down, and he overshot
- 1:06:22Speaker 1: it so far that when he rolled him over to
- 1:06:26Speaker 1: pin him, Logan's legs were basically touching the ropes. Referee
- 1:06:30Speaker 1: counted anyway, so later on Logan tried for his Paul
- 1:06:34Speaker 1: Verizor finish. Jacob countered out into a superkick. Theory got
- 1:06:38Speaker 1: up on the apron for the distraction. Then on the
- 1:06:40Speaker 1: other side, Paul Hayman got up on the apron for
- 1:06:42Speaker 1: the distraction. So fat Tu got his hands on Hayman,
- 1:06:46Speaker 1: but Logan snuck up with a low blow and then
- 1:06:49Speaker 1: a right hand shot, and then Logan came diving from
- 1:06:54Speaker 1: the heavens off the top rope, huge splash for just
- 1:06:58Speaker 1: the closest of near fall. So this was a very
- 1:07:01Speaker 1: close near fall. So then outside the ring, the mystery
- 1:07:07Speaker 1: Man shows up and the Mystery Man super kicks Austin Theory. Logan.
- 1:07:13Speaker 1: Paul sees this and he goes out to the floor
- 1:07:17Speaker 1: and he punches the mask man right in the face
- 1:07:20Speaker 1: with a knockout shot, and I'm like, Okay, here we go.
- 1:07:26Speaker 1: He's got to pull the mask off. Now I could tell,
- 1:07:29Speaker 1: like you could just tell from the body type and
- 1:07:31Speaker 1: the way he was moving around. This was a different
- 1:07:34Speaker 1: person than we've seen under the mask before. They'd probably
- 1:07:36Speaker 1: been different people every single week. But I said, if
- 1:07:39Speaker 1: he doesn't pull the mask off now, he's gonna look
- 1:07:41Speaker 1: like a giant, fucking idiot. So he goes to pull
- 1:07:44Speaker 1: off the mask, and he pulls off the mask to
- 1:07:47Speaker 1: reveal someone. This guy, I don't know who it is,
- 1:07:54Speaker 1: but he was the man under the mask. And security
- 1:07:58Speaker 1: escorted the man to the back and we never saw
- 1:08:00Speaker 1: him again. Logan then returned to the ring. He got
- 1:08:05Speaker 1: caught with a pop up Samoan drop and I lost
- 1:08:09Speaker 1: track of how many Samoan.
- 1:08:10Speaker 2: Drops we had on this show.
- 1:08:12Speaker 1: I think we had three Samoan drops from three different
- 1:08:15Speaker 1: Samoans on the show, Naya Jacks, Jacob Fatu, and who
- 1:08:22Speaker 1: am I missing here? I thought there was a third one.
- 1:08:23Speaker 1: Naya Jacks, Oh Solo Sokoa, Yes, Solo Soakoa, Jacob Fatu
- 1:08:28Speaker 1: and Naya Jacks all doing Samoan drops here on this show.
- 1:08:33Speaker 1: Fatu set up for his Mighty moonsaal when Drew McIntyre
- 1:08:38Speaker 1: appeared at ringside very covertly, and he blasted Fatu in
- 1:08:44Speaker 1: the head with the WWE Championship belt. I Fatu staggers
- 1:08:49Speaker 1: backwards off the ropes, Logan Paul rolls him up, refereated
- 1:08:53Speaker 1: and see it, and Logan Paul pins Jacob Fatu to
- 1:08:58Speaker 1: punch his ticket into the elimination chamber. So all they
- 1:09:03Speaker 1: did here was they traded one Vision member for another.
- 1:09:08Speaker 1: Bronson Reid was supposed to be in the chamber. I'm
- 1:09:11Speaker 1: sure the mass man was going to fuck him over
- 1:09:13Speaker 1: in the chamber. He got hurt. They had to call
- 1:09:16Speaker 1: an audible jay usso got in. And then during the
- 1:09:20Speaker 1: week they're like, how do we get out of this, Well,
- 1:09:21Speaker 1: we got other members of the Vision. We'll just plug
- 1:09:23Speaker 1: one of them in there. And then Logan Paul gets
- 1:09:27Speaker 1: the spot and voalla. We're basically back in the same
- 1:09:29Speaker 1: spot that we were in before. And now we have
- 1:09:33Speaker 1: two heels, which is what it was supposed to be.
- 1:09:36Speaker 1: Trick Williams was the only heel that was in the
- 1:09:38Speaker 1: men's elimination chamber match. Now we have two. Now we
- 1:09:42Speaker 1: have Trick Williams and Logan Paul. But that is also
- 1:09:46Speaker 1: now two potential spots in the elimination chamber that Jacob
- 1:09:51Speaker 1: Fatu has been screwed out of by interference from Drew
- 1:09:55Speaker 1: McIntyre twice. This has happened twice now. Now I will
- 1:10:00Speaker 1: also point out my question to you. You chime in
- 1:10:04Speaker 1: and let me know what you think here. I'm fairly
- 1:10:06Speaker 1: certain that we will have the mass Man revealed during
- 1:10:09Speaker 1: the chamber tomorrow, because honestly, I mean, how much longer
- 1:10:13Speaker 1: are we going to drag this shit out for? At
- 1:10:15Speaker 1: the very least, the mass Man, a different one will
- 1:10:17Speaker 1: appear tomorrow and screw over Logan Paul, maybe we won't
- 1:10:20Speaker 1: get the reveal. I do think it'll end up being
- 1:10:22Speaker 1: Seth Rawlins. So I guess it comes down to whenever
- 1:10:25Speaker 1: Seth is physically ready to show his face again. But
- 1:10:30Speaker 1: do you think that maybe this was their way of
- 1:10:32Speaker 1: writing off this terrible angle? Seth Rollins may not be
- 1:10:37Speaker 1: ready to come back. Bron Breaker got hurt, Bronson Reid
- 1:10:40Speaker 1: got hurt. He's sticking his Tether's ah like, what the fuck? Yeah,
- 1:10:45Speaker 1: he's sticking his tether Who's ah like what the fuck?
- 1:10:49Speaker 1: And Bronson Reid got hurt. I wouldn't mind. I mean,
- 1:10:53Speaker 1: I'm sure they're not writing it off or they're gonna
- 1:10:56Speaker 1: see this through until the end. But like if they seriously,
- 1:10:58Speaker 1: if they were just gonna write it off by having
- 1:11:00Speaker 1: some Rando show up and then never speak of the
- 1:11:03Speaker 1: mass Man again, Like I would not be upset about that.
- 1:11:07Speaker 1: I would not be upset about that. Like I think
- 1:11:10Speaker 1: it's a sign from like the wrestling gods above that
- 1:11:13Speaker 1: we just need to leave well enough alone with the
- 1:11:15Speaker 1: Mystery Man shit. It's like it's so overdone and just
- 1:11:18Speaker 1: move on from this, Like there are other ways that
- 1:11:20Speaker 1: you can reintroduce Seth Rollins back to TV and have
- 1:11:24Speaker 1: him go after what's left of the vision. There ain't
- 1:11:27Speaker 1: much left of the vision, but like have him try
- 1:11:30Speaker 1: to get retribution on the vision more than likely, though,
- 1:11:35Speaker 1: I mean, how else is Logan Paul to be eliminated
- 1:11:38Speaker 1: tomorrow if not by the mass Man? Right, we have
- 1:11:41Speaker 1: to have the mass Man on the show tomorrow. But
- 1:11:45Speaker 1: I just throw that out there, Like, would you be
- 1:11:46Speaker 1: terribly upset if this was their way of writing.
- 1:11:49Speaker 2: Off this stupid angle? I know I wouldn't be.
- 1:11:54Speaker 1: But anyway, the one thing that I take solace in
- 1:12:00Speaker 1: watching the end of this main event, and I'm not
- 1:12:03Speaker 1: that upset that Jacob didn't win because he was not
- 1:12:05Speaker 1: meant to be in it in the first place. They
- 1:12:07Speaker 1: have set things up perfectly though, for Jacob Fatu to
- 1:12:10Speaker 1: ultimately end up being a part of the WWE title
- 1:12:13Speaker 1: match of WrestleMania. Like that much is clear. We are getting,
- 1:12:15Speaker 1: at the very least a triple threat match of WrestleMania.
- 1:12:18Speaker 1: You will not convince me otherwise. Doesn't make any sense.
- 1:12:22Speaker 1: Doesn't make any sense otherwise that Jacob Fatu would take
- 1:12:26Speaker 1: it on the chin twice the way that he has
- 1:12:28Speaker 1: and not get rewarded, at least with an opportunity to
- 1:12:32Speaker 1: work his way into the WWE Championship match of WrestleMania,
- 1:12:35Speaker 1: even though he's not in the chamber. So what, it
- 1:12:39Speaker 1: doesn't matter, You got seven weeks of television coming up
- 1:12:42Speaker 1: after this. I'm still waiting for the Road to wrestle
- 1:12:45Speaker 1: Mania to truly feel like the Road to WrestleMania, and
- 1:12:48Speaker 1: I am hoping once we get past the Elimination Chamber
- 1:12:52Speaker 1: and they don't got to worry about promoting this show tomorrow,
- 1:12:55Speaker 1: they can focus squarely on WrestleMania and we will start
- 1:12:58Speaker 1: to really feel like, Okay, we're in WrestleMania mode now,
- 1:13:03Speaker 1: because that's been missing from these shows. And I think
- 1:13:06Speaker 1: part of the problem is that WrestleMania now is as
- 1:13:08Speaker 1: late as it has ever been. It is is third
- 1:13:12Speaker 1: week of April. It's never been that late before. They
- 1:13:16Speaker 1: have more time now on television, and it's almost like
- 1:13:19Speaker 1: sometimes it just feels like they don't know what to do.
- 1:13:21Speaker 1: They have all of this television time, and it's like, Man,
- 1:13:23Speaker 1: how are we going to fill all of this television time?
- 1:13:27Speaker 2: You know?
- 1:13:27Speaker 1: I mean they're kind of a victim of their own
- 1:13:29Speaker 1: success sometimes, right. They have all these hours of television
- 1:13:32Speaker 1: that they're given, and they just they don't know how
- 1:13:34Speaker 1: to make the most of it. Like that show on
- 1:13:37Speaker 1: Monday Night was egregiously bad. I've had people this week,
- 1:13:41Speaker 1: some people, not a lot of people. I've had some
- 1:13:43Speaker 1: people try to argue otherwise, like, oh, it wasn't a
- 1:13:45Speaker 1: bad show, Like I don't know what the fuck you
- 1:13:47Speaker 1: were watching, And don't give me the AJ style stuff. Okay,
- 1:13:50Speaker 1: that came at the very end. I don't want to
- 1:13:52Speaker 1: hear it. Like that show was egregiously bad and egregiously
- 1:13:56Speaker 1: boring on Monday Night. This show was marchally better. I
- 1:14:01Speaker 1: am waiting for this to feel like WrestleMania season. This
- 1:14:05Speaker 1: is supposed to be the most exciting time of year
- 1:14:07Speaker 1: in WWE. That's what I'm waiting to feel. I want it.
- 1:14:11Speaker 1: I want there to be excitement in the air for
- 1:14:14Speaker 1: what is supposed to be the biggest show of the year.
- 1:14:16Speaker 1: And aj Styles was not wrong on Raw Recap when
- 1:14:19Speaker 1: he said that WrestleMania has lost some of its luster.
- 1:14:21Speaker 1: He was one hundred and ten percent correct in saying that.
- 1:14:25Speaker 1: But even still, WrestleMania is still WrestleMania. You know, you
- 1:14:29Speaker 1: want that to feel like this is the super Bowl,
- 1:14:32Speaker 1: this is the World Series, right, this is the end
- 1:14:36Speaker 1: all be all. Hopefully we'll start feeling that way coming
- 1:14:40Speaker 1: out of this show tomorrow. That's my hope. As far
- 1:14:42Speaker 1: as the rest of the show, again, the women's tag
- 1:14:44Speaker 1: team match was the best match on the show. I
- 1:14:47Speaker 1: thought that was good. The Sammy's Ain stuff is kind
- 1:14:49Speaker 1: of interesting. We'll see where that goes. But beyond that,
- 1:14:54Speaker 1: not a whole lot to get excited about. Let's take
- 1:14:56Speaker 1: a look at the Twitter pol and see what you
- 1:14:58Speaker 1: guys thought of SmackDown. Eh, forty six percent say, I mean,
- 1:15:07Speaker 1: I didn't use thumbs here have we have emojis? But
- 1:15:09Speaker 1: forty six percent thumbs up and fifty four percent thumbs down. Dasius.
- 1:15:21Speaker 1: I pronounced it dazzius as I have watched Raw a
- 1:15:23Speaker 1: few times the past couple of years, past couple of years. Oh,
- 1:15:31Speaker 1: bless you, I would say, I'm jealous. Probably a lot
- 1:15:39Speaker 1: easier to digest that way anyway. Not a great score.
- 1:15:44Speaker 1: Two losing scores here for Raw and SmackDown this week.
- 1:15:50Speaker 1: You know what that means in terms of the polls.
- 1:15:53Speaker 1: This week means Dynamite wins the day. What was the
- 1:15:57Speaker 1: last time that happened. I don't know, it's been a while.
- 1:16:04Speaker 1: You gotta get on this WrestleMania train and get things up.
- 1:16:11Speaker 1: Five hundred and twelve likes, so we did hit the
- 1:16:14Speaker 1: likes goal. You're very welcome. I try to I try
- 1:16:19Speaker 1: to keep you in the loop when you watch for
- 1:16:21Speaker 1: a couple of times over the in a two year span.
- 1:16:23Speaker 1: I got to keep you in the loop somehow. So
- 1:16:31Speaker 1: we got a bonus, a bonus run an intergender round
- 1:16:34Speaker 1: tonight coming up, be the booker. Very exciting. We may
- 1:16:42Speaker 1: have to do that again tomorrow. During the Elimination Chamber review,
- 1:16:48Speaker 1: Dried Chicken Paramount is officially buying Warner Brothers after Netflix
- 1:16:52Speaker 1: declines to raise the offer. What a turn of events. Yes,
- 1:16:55Speaker 1: I will have a lot to say about that on Sunday.
- 1:16:56Speaker 1: You commit your ass about that, GMB. The Mft's versus
- 1:17:01Speaker 1: the Wyats is the worst non main event feud since
- 1:17:04Speaker 1: Triple H took over him and Rode Doug should be
- 1:17:08Speaker 1: ashamed for dragging this trash ass feud. Well, I could
- 1:17:13Speaker 1: not have said any better myself. I don't know why
- 1:17:17Speaker 1: we're still doing this. I don't know why we're still
- 1:17:20Speaker 1: doing this, Holiday says, I have an unfortunate feeling that
- 1:17:23Speaker 1: this whole MFT versus Wyatt's feud is going to culminate
- 1:17:26Speaker 1: in a match at WrestleMania for the WWE tag team titles,
- 1:17:31Speaker 1: probably with a stipulation yawn. Why else are they dragging
- 1:17:36Speaker 1: this out close to Mania. No, that's exactly why.
- 1:17:39Speaker 2: They're doing it.
- 1:17:41Speaker 1: It's pretty clear at this point. Maybe Sammy, he says,
- 1:17:46Speaker 1: attack Jacob months ago. Sammy's motive could be jealousy seeing
- 1:17:49Speaker 1: Jacob rising up the ranks rapidly and winning the world
- 1:17:52Speaker 1: title before him.
- 1:17:54Speaker 2: Could be.
- 1:17:57Speaker 1: It could be Rick. No, it's not.
- 1:18:06Speaker 2: No, it's not.
- 1:18:08Speaker 1: And frankly, even Netflix getting it would have been bad too.
- 1:18:10Speaker 1: This is all terrible, all around. Nobody should be supporting this.
- 1:18:15Speaker 1: Prince begeta ninety five Happy thirtieth anniversary to one of
- 1:18:18Speaker 1: my favorite video game franchises, Pokemon. Thirty years ago today,
- 1:18:22Speaker 1: Pokemon Red and Green were released in Japan. I'm even
- 1:18:27Speaker 1: gaming right now on my switch to while watching the
- 1:18:30Speaker 1: stream Pokemon Red and Pokemon Green. I didn't know they
- 1:18:34Speaker 1: had colored Pokemon games. Did they have a Pokemon Blue?
- 1:18:42Speaker 1: I did not know that Venom catetsua. Which wrestler would
- 1:18:46Speaker 1: you cast as yourself for Solo Monster the movie? Would
- 1:18:50Speaker 1: you have multiple wrestlers for different phases of your life?
- 1:18:55Speaker 1: I mean, why can't I play myself? I'd like to
- 1:18:59Speaker 1: play myself. That way I can get paid for playing myself.
- 1:19:10Speaker 1: Who would play me in a movie? That's a good question.
- 1:19:13Speaker 1: Who would play me in a movie? Well, I mean,
- 1:19:15Speaker 1: if I believe all you guys, it would be fucking
- 1:19:17Speaker 1: Jack Swagger playing me. Just get just get Jake Hager
- 1:19:22Speaker 1: to blame me in a movie. Apparently you can't tell
- 1:19:24Speaker 1: me apart. Jeez, Orange Cassidy, this is a good one. Yeah,
- 1:19:31Speaker 1: Orange Cassidy would work. Holiday says last week's SmackDown was
- 1:19:38Speaker 1: a vacuum of boredom and one of the worst SmackDown
- 1:19:41Speaker 1: shows I've seen. Real slog to get through Tonight's show
- 1:19:45Speaker 1: wasn't much of an improvement. The US Title Open Challenge
- 1:19:49Speaker 1: was the only decent thing. Yeah, and the US Open
- 1:19:53Speaker 1: Challenge is kind of petering out there. Even that is
- 1:19:58Speaker 1: starting to peter out. Unfortunately, I knew it would happen.
- 1:20:06Speaker 1: Bobert reviews, thank you for the thirty five dollars. Rob,
- 1:20:11Speaker 1: you are awesome, brother, Thank you number one. Almost Sapien says,
- 1:20:20Speaker 1: what's up, Solo? What kind of jokes do chickens tell
- 1:20:25Speaker 1: egg yolks? Well, I mean it was certainly an attempt.
- 1:20:37Speaker 1: You did try. I'll give you credit for trying. Morris
- 1:20:42Speaker 1: says you need to watch Athena and Shuri and Andrade
- 1:20:46Speaker 1: and Yotasuji. It's right, I forgot. There's a New Beginning
- 1:20:50Speaker 1: New Beginning US A show tonight that New Japan did
- 1:20:52Speaker 1: out in Long Beach. I will have to see if
- 1:20:56Speaker 1: I could find a way to check that out. Thank
- 1:20:59Speaker 1: you more. Jeremy Rose, I am what does he say?
- 1:21:04Speaker 1: I'm this era of deaf rebel generic ass theme songs.
- 1:21:09Speaker 1: I think you left out a word there, brother. How
- 1:21:13Speaker 1: does almost every Samoan have a banger entrance, Roman, j Solo, Jacob,
- 1:21:18Speaker 1: even Jimmy. Do they have their own side producer? They might,
- 1:21:25Speaker 1: They just might. Bobby's Rorel says. Week one of management
- 1:21:32Speaker 1: training in the books, slow start due to various obstacles,
- 1:21:35Speaker 1: but ended up ahead of schedule. Regional trainer was impressed
- 1:21:38Speaker 1: with my progress looking forward to week two. Well, I'm
- 1:21:42Speaker 1: sure you're gonna kill it in week two. I'm glad
- 1:21:44Speaker 1: week one went well and hopefully week two goes better
- 1:21:47Speaker 1: and week three goes even better than that. Thank you, brother.
- 1:21:51Speaker 1: MGM Ballin with the nine to ninety nine says, what
- 1:21:53Speaker 1: would it take to get Tony Soprano in be the Booker?
- 1:21:57Speaker 1: You never had the makings of a varsity athlete, But
- 1:22:00Speaker 1: maybe he's got the makings of a be the Booker
- 1:22:02Speaker 1: main Eventor he's done a mean curb stump before. Well,
- 1:22:09Speaker 1: I mean, that's what you get for making a pass
- 1:22:11Speaker 1: at the man's daughter. I can't say I had too
- 1:22:14Speaker 1: much sympathy for that man. You know are there are
- 1:22:22Speaker 1: two curb stomp scenes that I still just I WinCE
- 1:22:28Speaker 1: just thinking about it. That's one of them, and the
- 1:22:31Speaker 1: other one is Edward Norton in American History X if
- 1:22:36Speaker 1: you know you know Jay Williams with a nineteen ninety
- 1:22:40Speaker 1: nine and I shit you not. I was watching Sonic three.
- 1:22:43Speaker 1: I'm scrolling through Reddit to see how things went, and
- 1:22:47Speaker 1: I laughed my ass off to see another mystery angle.
- 1:22:54Speaker 1: It's all they know how to do. When you have
- 1:23:00Speaker 1: no other ideas, you just go to the mystery angle
- 1:23:03Speaker 1: and you just beat that horse until it's dead and
- 1:23:06Speaker 1: it's not drawing breath anymore from its lungs. Retro says
- 1:23:12Speaker 1: Tiffany's boyfriend is Egyptian. Keep him away from Rick Flair
- 1:23:16Speaker 1: Charlotte two for that matter. I believe he is.
- 1:23:18Speaker 2: I believe he is Egyptian.
- 1:23:21Speaker 1: I believe he's in NXT at the Performance Center. Wwe
- 1:23:28Speaker 1: Iceman just getting back from New Japan's New Beginning in Trenton.
- 1:23:33Speaker 1: Show Trenton. I thought they were in Long Beach. Long
- 1:23:39Speaker 1: Beach and Trenton are not the same place. Are you
- 1:23:42Speaker 1: sure it was in Trenton? Matam, Why do I think
- 1:23:45Speaker 1: it was in Long Beach? Says very solid show much
- 1:23:52Speaker 1: loves Solo. Thank you, Luis. You should add me to
- 1:23:59Speaker 1: be the book. Yeah, but if I do that, it
- 1:24:01Speaker 1: would be an automatic buzz every time I land on you, though,
- 1:24:04Speaker 1: I don't want that, Boots. Look at this with a
- 1:24:11Speaker 1: pair of tens, a trio. I didn't even see the
- 1:24:16Speaker 1: third one. Here a trio of tens says Bruno Mars
- 1:24:18Speaker 1: has a terrible singing voice. I believe his name. I
- 1:24:27Speaker 1: think he got his name from Bruno San Martino. I
- 1:24:30Speaker 1: guess his parents maybe were fans of Bruno. I think
- 1:24:32Speaker 1: he's told that story before that there is that wrestling
- 1:24:36Speaker 1: connection to how he got his name. Uh, Sidro, Why
- 1:24:45Speaker 1: did the Dali Lama go to Vegas? Why did the
- 1:24:57Speaker 1: Dali Lama go to Vegas? Tibet, son of a bitch,
- 1:25:05Speaker 1: and I ordered a vault and a speaker off Amazon.
- 1:25:11Speaker 1: They arrived safe and sound. So the PS getting the
- 1:25:17Speaker 1: new Resident Evil. I'm not planning on it. I just
- 1:25:21Speaker 1: found out today that there is a he Man in
- 1:25:23Speaker 1: the Masters of the Universe game that is coming to Steam.
- 1:25:26Speaker 1: I believe April twenty eighth, and I think I will
- 1:25:29Speaker 1: be all over that Boots with another ten man. Boots
- 1:25:38Speaker 1: is killing it. Boots say, you gotta save some love
- 1:25:41Speaker 1: for the Chamber review tomorrow, hoping for big things tomorrow night.
- 1:25:46Speaker 1: It's a big show. Thank you, Boots, Bass Bears, says
- 1:25:51Speaker 1: Samoan Chin Music. Robert Peterson with an nineteen ninety nine says, Hey,
- 1:26:05Speaker 1: Solomonser big fans. In twenty eighteen, I just want to
- 1:26:08Speaker 1: say that it's pretty sad there's no hype for WrestleMania
- 1:26:11Speaker 1: this year, and AW has been very good to start
- 1:26:16Speaker 1: the year off. It feels like twenty nineteen. I just
- 1:26:19Speaker 1: hope WWE can deliver. Yeah. I mean, you know, I'm
- 1:26:29Speaker 1: leaving AW out of it completely. I mean, WWE just
- 1:26:33Speaker 1: they got to get something going here. I mean, I'm
- 1:26:36Speaker 1: just waiting. I'm just waiting for the excitement to kick in.
- 1:26:42Speaker 1: I hope they can do it. It'll make the shows
- 1:26:44Speaker 1: more fun to review, unless they're really bad, and then
- 1:26:50Speaker 1: I'm sure you guys will love those reviews just the same.
- 1:26:55Speaker 1: But when it's in the middle and it's just kind
- 1:26:56Speaker 1: of boring and dull, it's like there's no you know,
- 1:27:00Speaker 1: where's the fun in? That? Was that show today? Really?
- 1:27:02Speaker 1: And Trent and I don't know why. I thought it
- 1:27:04Speaker 1: was in Long Beach. I thought for sure. I thought
- 1:27:05Speaker 1: for sure. On the New Japan side it said it
- 1:27:08Speaker 1: was in Long Beach. Thank you, Martin. Same to you,
- 1:27:16Speaker 1: Josh Williams, years long fan here. So though, how about
- 1:27:19Speaker 1: Cody wins the chamberge just for Randy to end the
- 1:27:21Speaker 1: show with an RKO and a punk kick to set
- 1:27:23Speaker 1: up a fatal four way at Mania. I mean that's
- 1:27:28Speaker 1: literally what I laid out on the sound off this weekend.
- 1:27:33Speaker 1: So I like the way you think unless you heard
- 1:27:38Speaker 1: it on the sound off. But yes, I pitched Cody
- 1:27:42Speaker 1: winning and then Randy dropping him with an RKO if
- 1:27:45Speaker 1: not also a pun kick, and then we end up
- 1:27:49Speaker 1: getting a fatal four waight WrestleMania. That's exactly what I pitched.
- 1:27:53Speaker 1: Right now, it feels like a triple threat is all
- 1:27:55Speaker 1: but guaranteed, But that doesn't mean they can't get to
- 1:27:57Speaker 1: a four way unless they really are thinking about doing
- 1:28:01Speaker 1: Randy Orton and Alistair Black, you know, one on one
- 1:28:04Speaker 1: of WrestleMania, which I mean, I guess they could do.
- 1:28:08Speaker 1: You know, Black beat him last week and so Randy
- 1:28:11Speaker 1: could get his win back. But it's like, eh, is
- 1:28:13Speaker 1: that a WrestleMania match? Ah?
- 1:28:22Speaker 2: Okay, it was.
- 1:28:23Speaker 1: It was in Trenton. There was a g one taking
- 1:28:25Speaker 1: place in Long Beach. I see, okay, Well I was
- 1:28:30Speaker 1: way off those two places aren't even close to each other. Uh, toya,
- 1:28:39Speaker 1: toya ain't nice. The Internet said, the mass man is
- 1:28:42Speaker 1: a student of Seth at his wrestling school. His name
- 1:28:45Speaker 1: is Don Furio. No, it's not his wrestling name, right,
- 1:28:49Speaker 1: not his real name. I thought you were saying his
- 1:28:52Speaker 1: real name is Don Furia' is like something right out
- 1:28:55Speaker 1: of the Sopranos.
- 1:29:00Speaker 2: I want to whack this guy up.
- 1:29:02Speaker 1: You gotta go talk to Don Furio first, you get
- 1:29:06Speaker 1: his blessing, then you can whack the guy. Sidro just
- 1:29:11Speaker 1: found out. Al Gore is a great dancer. It's all
- 1:29:14Speaker 1: in his al Gore rhythm.
- 1:29:17Speaker 2: Al Go rhythm.
- 1:29:19Speaker 1: And how do you describe a potato that has completed
- 1:29:22Speaker 1: class in school? Tater taught suck.
- 1:29:32Speaker 2: That was bad. That was a bad one.
- 1:29:36Speaker 1: Chicago for MBK spinning, Samoan should be used by Zilla Fontu. Well,
- 1:29:43Speaker 1: he's got his own boots. But maybe I'll maybe I'll
- 1:29:49Speaker 1: share that with him when I see him in Chicago.
- 1:29:52Speaker 2: We'll see.
- 1:29:55Speaker 1: Retro, says Uncle Howdie. Versus Samoa Joe was Solo's favorite
- 1:29:59Speaker 1: match tonight. I wish we had Samoa Joe on this show.
- 1:30:03Speaker 1: That's what the show is missing. This show was missing
- 1:30:05Speaker 1: Samoa Joe Sidrow warning, don't order Hay for the Horse
- 1:30:13Speaker 1: on Amazon. A few days later they'll ask for your
- 1:30:16Speaker 1: feed back. And what do you call a smoking hot
- 1:30:24Speaker 1: lesbian LGBBQ.
- 1:30:32Speaker 2: I just don't know where he comes up with these.
- 1:30:37Speaker 1: Bes, Beer says who wins in a shoot? Oba Femi
- 1:30:40Speaker 1: or Farouk?
- 1:30:42Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 1:30:43Speaker 1: You know Ron Simmons, I mean, he's probably still tough today,
- 1:30:46Speaker 1: but he was a tough guy back in the day.
- 1:30:51Speaker 1: I'm not betting against Ron Simmons and I'll leave it
- 1:30:56Speaker 1: at that. We got Devin from NJ. How was Piper
- 1:31:02Speaker 1: able to get out of jobbing to Hogan? He laid
- 1:31:06Speaker 1: down the law and said, I'm not doing it. As
- 1:31:10Speaker 1: simple as that, Vince wasn't gonna get rid of him.
- 1:31:12Speaker 1: Piper was very valuable to the company, and I don't
- 1:31:17Speaker 1: know how he got it. Wasn't just Hogan like he
- 1:31:19Speaker 1: just he didn't do jobs for hardly anybody. That's the
- 1:31:24Speaker 1: better question. How did he get out of doing jobs
- 1:31:27Speaker 1: for all the other people he didn't do jobs for?
- 1:31:34Speaker 1: Big Hoss says Rhea wins the title. Bianca returns as
- 1:31:37Speaker 1: a heel for Rhea, efing her up and injuring her
- 1:31:43Speaker 1: SummerSlam main event, pulled the trigger. I'd be down for that.
- 1:31:53Speaker 1: That'd be a big match to do too at SummerSlam.
- 1:31:56Speaker 1: Bass Bears has pass the duchy to left hands past
- 1:32:00Speaker 1: the Dutch.
- 1:32:01Speaker 2: What's a duchy?
- 1:32:01Speaker 1: A duchy past the duchy to left hand side? The
- 1:32:10Speaker 1: hell is that? Grapple nomics Ria, Jade or Charlotte and Alexa.
- 1:32:23Speaker 1: Nobody is better than Alexa at Women's Psychology.
- 1:32:28Speaker 2: I'm bliss fan.
- 1:32:29Speaker 1: I think we found your burner account here. Big Hoss
- 1:32:36Speaker 1: Trick versus Randy versus Cody versus Drew, versus Sammy versus
- 1:32:40Speaker 1: fa Tu Helen is sell match a WrestleMania No, Nope,
- 1:32:49Speaker 1: Chicago for MBK, Johnny Gargano's new finishing move, Cringe City
- 1:32:56Speaker 1: maybe unemployed City soon. Sorry to say, Peter nasty Eo
- 1:33:00Speaker 1: versus Julia at Mania or Backlash. I mean if not
- 1:33:06Speaker 1: at Mania, I would wait until Clash in Italy and
- 1:33:08Speaker 1: do it there. Holiday says. The only thing that can
- 1:33:14Speaker 1: make me mildly interested in an MFT why is WrestleMania
- 1:33:17Speaker 1: match would be to do it inside Helen a cell
- 1:33:20Speaker 1: five on five with the tag belts defended. It would
- 1:33:23Speaker 1: be a mess, but multiman helen a Cell matches don't
- 1:33:26Speaker 1: come around often. Does this feud really warrant helen a
- 1:33:34Speaker 1: Cell like it would be the least interested I've been
- 1:33:37Speaker 1: in a helen a Cell match in years. It's maybe
- 1:33:42Speaker 1: the only way to get people really super interested in
- 1:33:44Speaker 1: it would be to dress it up with a big
- 1:33:46Speaker 1: stipulation like that. I don't disagree, but I just I
- 1:33:48Speaker 1: don't have any interest in that. I would not waste
- 1:33:50Speaker 1: a helen a Cell stipulation on this. It just seems
- 1:33:54Speaker 1: like a waste of the stip Bace Bears says, we
- 1:33:58Speaker 1: want good booking, Yes we do, Yes we do. San
- 1:34:08Speaker 1: Juan Wolf with a nine ninety nine. I read something
- 1:34:12Speaker 1: on Twitter saying the now unmasked mystery Men was one
- 1:34:16Speaker 1: of Seth Rolin's students from his wrestling school. Maybe it
- 1:34:19Speaker 1: will lead to something in the mass Man storyline. I
- 1:34:23Speaker 1: just think it was just a decoy throwing us off,
- 1:34:28Speaker 1: but not really until the actual reveal happens, which could
- 1:34:31Speaker 1: be as early as tomorrow, it will probably be Rollin's
- 1:34:34Speaker 1: in the end, whether or not he mentions that that
- 1:34:36Speaker 1: guy was his student. I don't think this guy's ever
- 1:34:38Speaker 1: going to be mentioned again. Honestly, I don't think he'll
- 1:34:41Speaker 1: ever be mentioned again if that's true. I think it
- 1:34:44Speaker 1: was just him doing a solid for his student and saying, hey,
- 1:34:47Speaker 1: we got a roll for you on the show, and
- 1:34:48Speaker 1: the guy's like awesome. I don't think it's actually gonna
- 1:34:52Speaker 1: lead to anything. Zach RAINA random question for you, whatever
- 1:34:58Speaker 1: happens to Shinskin Amora. Do you ever expect him to
- 1:35:01Speaker 1: have a whatever happened? Whatever happened to him? Are we
- 1:35:05Speaker 1: talking like in the broader context, or he's been around?
- 1:35:10Speaker 1: This was actually the first week I think on SmackDown
- 1:35:12Speaker 1: that he hasn't been on the show in quite some time.
- 1:35:17Speaker 1: But uh, what happened to him? I mean, you know,
- 1:35:20Speaker 1: his goose was cooked the year he got called up
- 1:35:24Speaker 1: to the main roster when he lost twice on pay
- 1:35:26Speaker 1: per view to Gender Mahal and couldn't win the championship.
- 1:35:28Speaker 1: That was it. He was never the same after that,
- 1:35:30Speaker 1: and then I think over the years he just got
- 1:35:32Speaker 1: very comfortable, and you know, he's obviously content being there.
- 1:35:36Speaker 1: He gets paid well and he can surf and do photography.
- 1:35:39Speaker 1: Apparently he likes photography, and it's like, okay, you know
- 1:35:44Speaker 1: that's it. You know, they just they were never they
- 1:35:49Speaker 1: were never going to push him to a level that.
- 1:35:51Speaker 1: I think people when they saw him in New Japan
- 1:35:54Speaker 1: and even in NXT were hoping that he would get
- 1:35:56Speaker 1: to on the main roster. And when he failed against
- 1:35:59Speaker 1: gender Hall and then he feuded with aj Styles and
- 1:36:03Speaker 1: he didn't win there either, at that point, it's like
- 1:36:07Speaker 1: he ain't holding that title. Like he has hit his
- 1:36:09Speaker 1: ceiling as far as how high he will go in
- 1:36:11Speaker 1: this company, and he's he's content with it. You know,
- 1:36:15Speaker 1: he shows up to work, he does what he's told,
- 1:36:17Speaker 1: and that's it. Electric feel with a ten dollars super chat.
- 1:36:28Speaker 1: I would love to see a Sammy realization moment where
- 1:36:31Speaker 1: he realizes Kevin Owens was right about Cody. Would give
- 1:36:34Speaker 1: Ko something to do while he's waiting to be cleared
- 1:36:37Speaker 1: eventually too. Yeah, I would love to know like how
- 1:36:41Speaker 1: far along he is. I don't get the sense he's
- 1:36:44Speaker 1: coming back anytime soon, but if he was, let's say,
- 1:36:48Speaker 1: in like the next few months, potentially going to be
- 1:36:50Speaker 1: able to make a comeback, the timing would actually work
- 1:36:52Speaker 1: out really well for that Mystic Jay. Have you noticed
- 1:36:56Speaker 1: that despite the bed bucking for Julia, she's actually had
- 1:36:59Speaker 1: more matches than Stephanie. I'm the main roster m Yeah,
- 1:37:04Speaker 1: you know what, I guess that would be true. Stephanie
- 1:37:08Speaker 1: really has not wrestled very often. Cameron Spencer Trick versus
- 1:37:14Speaker 1: Sammy versus Orton versus Cody versus Drew and Fatu MAINI
- 1:37:18Speaker 1: a six pack challenge, No, you do not. If you're
- 1:37:24Speaker 1: gonna have a multiman match, no more than four four
- 1:37:27Speaker 1: is the absolute cap. I would not have any more
- 1:37:32Speaker 1: than that in that match, He says, Omas versus Oba.
- 1:37:37Speaker 1: That'll improve fan excitement? Are you down for that? Oba
- 1:37:41Speaker 1: versus Omas will improve fan excitement?
- 1:37:43Speaker 2: No, it won't.
- 1:37:45Speaker 1: How do you figure that? Let Omas keep doing his
- 1:37:49Speaker 1: thing in Triple A. The stuff he's been doing down
- 1:37:51Speaker 1: there with Vi Kingo apparently it's getting over well, and
- 1:37:56Speaker 1: let him keep doing that. Prince Vegeta says, there's Pokemon blue, yellow, gold, silver, crystal, ruby. Wow,
- 1:38:06Speaker 1: there's a lot of them here. Okay, Well that answers
- 1:38:09Speaker 1: my question. I just I didn't give a shit about
- 1:38:11Speaker 1: all these other colors. I just wanted to know if
- 1:38:13Speaker 1: there was a Pokemon blue. You answered my question. Bass
- 1:38:20Speaker 1: Beers says ass Blossom or ash blosso I don't know.
- 1:38:24Speaker 1: I think I might like the other one better. Ash Blossom,
- 1:38:27Speaker 1: what is that supposed to be? People are weird? CMJ
- 1:38:32Speaker 1: World Scream seven not worth it? Well, that's disappointing to hear.
- 1:38:42Speaker 1: I was thinking about saying that. Cameron says Black versus
- 1:38:48Speaker 1: Priest feud needs to continue because it needs a Hell
- 1:38:50Speaker 1: and a Cell ending in media. Then they can team
- 1:38:52Speaker 1: up and form Ministry twenty twenty six. Are you down
- 1:38:58Speaker 1: for that? Cameron? I love you, brother, but you're oer
- 1:39:01Speaker 1: for two on these ideas. I have no interest in
- 1:39:04Speaker 1: seeing that Black versus Priest had their ending in the
- 1:39:07Speaker 1: ambulance match. They I don't want to see them in
- 1:39:09Speaker 1: the ring, honestly, like ever again, let them go off
- 1:39:13Speaker 1: and do different things. I have no interest in another
- 1:39:17Speaker 1: match between them. They ended it, it's over, it's done,
- 1:39:20Speaker 1: it is time to move on. I didn't, and to
- 1:39:23Speaker 1: be honest with you, maybe I'm in the minority on this.
- 1:39:26Speaker 1: I've always said this. I mean, the faction itself whatever.
- 1:39:33Speaker 1: I wasn't really a big fan of it, but like
- 1:39:35Speaker 1: Ministry Undertaker least favorite version of the Undertaker, not a
- 1:39:41Speaker 1: fan of the Ministry stuff retro Koh, why should you
- 1:39:46Speaker 1: knock before opening the fridge. There could be a salad dressing.
- 1:39:54Speaker 1: Not bad, not bad. You know, though, as bad as
- 1:40:02Speaker 1: you say, Scream seven was, apparently it had it might
- 1:40:05Speaker 1: have been the biggest opening for a Scream movie. I
- 1:40:06Speaker 1: think it made like forty million dollars or something domestically
- 1:40:09Speaker 1: in its first weekend. So you know what that means.
- 1:40:16Speaker 1: We're getting a Scream eight. You make forty million dollars,
- 1:40:20Speaker 1: You're getting a Scream. Eate and bes beers. Jade not
- 1:40:25Speaker 1: defending is not doing her any favors. I think it's
- 1:40:30Speaker 1: it's a combination of things. I think it's the division
- 1:40:34Speaker 1: just needs an overhaul number one, and so many of
- 1:40:37Speaker 1: the women are currently wrapped up in the tag team scene.
- 1:40:41Speaker 1: But also I think it's just a clear lack of
- 1:40:43Speaker 1: faith and trust in her ability to go out there
- 1:40:45Speaker 1: with certain people who aren't of a certain experience level.
- 1:40:50Speaker 1: I think it just boils down to that they don't
- 1:40:53Speaker 1: want to put her in a situation where she's gonna
- 1:40:55Speaker 1: end up looking bad. You know, they're trying to craft
- 1:40:57Speaker 1: an image of her in a certain way, and it
- 1:41:00Speaker 1: does her no good to go in there with somebody
- 1:41:02Speaker 1: who you know she may end up looking bad being
- 1:41:05Speaker 1: in the ring with horror fan Craig Hey solo Monster.
- 1:41:13Speaker 1: Do you think they shock us tomorrow and have Drew
- 1:41:16Speaker 1: screw Cody again and have someone else win the chamber tomorrow?
- 1:41:21Speaker 1: I think I'm fatigued with Drew McIntyre screwing people. I mean,
- 1:41:24Speaker 1: my god, he screws more people than a fucking Vegas hooker.
- 1:41:27Speaker 1: I mean, what are we doing here? How many times
- 1:41:29Speaker 1: are we gonna see Drew McIntyre screw somebody. I'm gonna
- 1:41:32Speaker 1: start to get jealous if I'm his wife, I don't
- 1:41:38Speaker 1: want to see that. Andre Jefferson. We find out on
- 1:41:44Speaker 1: Raw that Jay was attacked by the New Day because
- 1:41:47Speaker 1: he was more worried about the World Heavyweight title than
- 1:41:49Speaker 1: defending the tag titles. Oh man, that's that's a bad
- 1:41:55Speaker 1: idea too. What is with these ideas today? The New Day? No,
- 1:42:08Speaker 1: it can't be that, by the way, I love that,
- 1:42:12Speaker 1: But Xavier Woods is walking around with his arm and
- 1:42:15Speaker 1: his sling with a bad shoulder. He's not attacking anybody.
- 1:42:19Speaker 1: Link Master Acts, Buy or Sell, Valvenus or Fandango. I mean,
- 1:42:27Speaker 1: can I say none of the above. If you forced
- 1:42:31Speaker 1: me to choose, I'll go Fandango also Link Master Ministry
- 1:42:35Speaker 1: Undertaker had an excellent theme song. His theme song was
- 1:42:38Speaker 1: very good. His theme song was very good. The Gimmick
- 1:42:44Speaker 1: though no good. May's the great with fifty five months
- 1:42:50Speaker 1: of channel membership. Look at this guy solo, you know better.
- 1:42:53Speaker 1: Having hope for WWE most times is like having hope
- 1:42:56Speaker 1: for the Mets or the Bruise. You know what can happen,
- 1:43:00Speaker 1: but ninety seven percent of the time you know it won't. Yes,
- 1:43:04Speaker 1: but that doesn't mean that you give up hope. You
- 1:43:09Speaker 1: must cling to hope. Holiday says the first two acts
- 1:43:16Speaker 1: of Scream seven are good, but the final act is
- 1:43:18Speaker 1: a let down with bad writing. Wasn't Kevin Williamson back
- 1:43:24Speaker 1: for this movie? Nev Campbell was back. That's terrible, very
- 1:43:32Speaker 1: disappointing to hear this. Well, whatever, I'm waiting for the
- 1:43:39Speaker 1: Mortal Kombat movie. I did see the trailer, the new
- 1:43:41Speaker 1: trailer that dropped the other day. I'm very excited for that.
- 1:43:44Speaker 1: That's coming out. I believe in May. And then Masters
- 1:43:47Speaker 1: of the Universe on June fifth. I'm gonna be like
- 1:43:48Speaker 1: a little kid again. And then I guess a street
- 1:43:52Speaker 1: Fighter is what September October we got a bunch of
- 1:43:58Speaker 1: movies to go see, and then I didn't even realize
- 1:44:03Speaker 1: they're making a Toy Story five. Apparently that's coming out soon. Also,
- 1:44:07Speaker 1: I think possibly June. I'll have to see that as well.
- 1:44:10Speaker 1: I know I'm gonna find time for all these movies.
- 1:44:17Speaker 2: Anyway.
- 1:44:17Speaker 1: I think that is. I think all of your messages here,
- 1:44:23Speaker 1: thank you. We do have a be the Booker to
- 1:44:27Speaker 1: get to because you guys did smash the goal tonight.
- 1:44:30Speaker 1: We are up to five hundred and seventy one likes
- 1:44:34Speaker 1: and we got a bonus intergender round which is gonna
- 1:44:37Speaker 1: be very interesting. And again I made updates to men's
- 1:44:40Speaker 1: be the booker. So with that being said, let's get
- 1:44:43Speaker 1: into it. It's time to be the booker.
- 1:44:45Speaker 3: A gentlemen, it is now time to be the booker.
- 1:44:50Speaker 1: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa whoa. Wait a minute, Godzilla
- 1:44:54Speaker 1: minus zero is coming out this year. I actually went
- 1:44:58Speaker 1: to the theater to see Minus w I didn't realize
- 1:45:01Speaker 1: Minus zero is coming out this year. I did not
- 1:45:04Speaker 1: know that. Solo. If you didn't have the podcast or
- 1:45:13Speaker 1: this channel, would you still watch wrestling today?
- 1:45:17Speaker 2: No comment?
- 1:45:19Speaker 1: All? Right, here we go, tag team, be the booker.
- 1:45:21Speaker 1: Here we go, let's see what we got. We got
- 1:45:24Speaker 1: some chronic. Who wants some chronic everybody? I could use
- 1:45:28Speaker 1: some chronic watching these shows. We got Brian Adams and
- 1:45:33Speaker 1: Brian Clark. They did not have a very successful run
- 1:45:38Speaker 1: in WWE. I think they did decently in WCW. But
- 1:45:42Speaker 1: once they went over to WWE during the Invasion Angle,
- 1:45:46Speaker 1: I think they had one match. I think it was
- 1:45:51Speaker 1: their match against the Undertaker and Kane and that was it.
- 1:45:58Speaker 1: Be kind of funny if we like that on Undertaker
- 1:46:00Speaker 1: and Kane here, well, that's definitely not Undertaker and Kane.
- 1:46:07Speaker 1: That is the Gun Club, Austin and Colton gunn against Chronic. Yeah,
- 1:46:18Speaker 1: not a good start. We can definitely do better than that.
- 1:46:26Speaker 1: Women's be the booker. Can we book a better match
- 1:46:28Speaker 1: than Jordan Grace against Candice Larray tonight? Sonya Deville, well,
- 1:46:42Speaker 1: this is going to really depend on who we're putting
- 1:46:44Speaker 1: her in the ring with. Here, Sonya Deville against Ivy Nile.
- 1:46:55Speaker 1: We're on quite a role here, quite a role. It's
- 1:47:03Speaker 1: not looking good, guys, it's not looking good tonight. We've
- 1:47:11Speaker 1: got to do something about this. It's already over. Well,
- 1:47:16Speaker 1: it's not over yet, because we're doing an intergender match,
- 1:47:19Speaker 1: we could at least break even tonight. All right, men's
- 1:47:25Speaker 1: be the booker with all the new updates that I
- 1:47:28Speaker 1: put in here. There is the WWE champion. He's taking
- 1:47:35Speaker 1: a break from screwing to wrestle a match. Drew McIntyre
- 1:47:42Speaker 1: is in our men's main event, and he will be
- 1:47:54Speaker 1: wrestling the reigning CMLL Heavyweight Champion, Claudio casting Noli. Finally
- 1:48:05Speaker 1: we got a real match McIntyre and Claudio sign me
- 1:48:12Speaker 1: the fuck up champion versus champion, even title for title.
- 1:48:18Speaker 1: There's a main event for you that is a that
- 1:48:22Speaker 1: is indeed a banger. All right, so we got one
- 1:48:28Speaker 1: more man. I've got a bonus match tonight. Now it's
- 1:48:31Speaker 1: gonna be someone from women's be the booker against someone
- 1:48:36Speaker 1: from men's be the booker. So this is very very
- 1:48:39Speaker 1: exciting here. We'll pick the woman first. We could break
- 1:48:45Speaker 1: even if we get one more bell, we'll at least
- 1:48:47Speaker 1: break even tonight. Then we could try to do better
- 1:48:50Speaker 1: tomorrow night on the Elimination Chamber review. All Right, we
- 1:48:55Speaker 1: got Mighty Molly. I like Molly, Mighty Molly. Something else
- 1:49:04Speaker 1: I could use during these SmackDown shows, some Chronic and
- 1:49:09Speaker 1: some Mollie. All right, Mighty Molly is going to be
- 1:49:13Speaker 1: taken on Penta. All right, This is like Luca Underground.
- 1:49:19Speaker 1: Penta had those great matches with Chelsea Green, with EO
- 1:49:22Speaker 1: Sky Kyrie. I believe that Penta and Molly would be
- 1:49:29Speaker 1: able to go out and have a very good match.
- 1:49:33Speaker 1: So we were able to break even tonight. It was
- 1:49:37Speaker 1: not a total loss. It ended up okay, Solo passed
- 1:49:47Speaker 1: the chronic. I can't. I've used it all. I'm going
- 1:49:52Speaker 1: to be up all night now. Reclusa should be added
- 1:49:57Speaker 1: to be the booker. Not a bad idea. It's actually
- 1:50:01Speaker 1: not a bad idea. So I have changes now that
- 1:50:04Speaker 1: I have to make to or updates to Women's be
- 1:50:07Speaker 1: the booker and tag team be the booker. And then
- 1:50:09Speaker 1: I'm going to start working on some of the other
- 1:50:11Speaker 1: ideas that I've had. I got all kinds of ideas
- 1:50:14Speaker 1: in my head. We're definitely going to add intergender as
- 1:50:17Speaker 1: one of the new stipulations for when we do the
- 1:50:19Speaker 1: stipulation rounds, so we'll do that. Go's some other steps
- 1:50:24Speaker 1: to throw in there, and I want to do I
- 1:50:30Speaker 1: want to do a manager's round. I got all these ideas.
- 1:50:34Speaker 1: Navy forty one says WrestleMania minus zero. Yes, that's what
- 1:50:43Speaker 1: we're getting this year. We're getting wrestle Mania minus zero.
- 1:50:50Speaker 1: It's a good way to put it. And Devin says, buy, rent,
- 1:50:54Speaker 1: and sell on these WCW runs, Brett Hart, Randy Savage,
- 1:51:00Speaker 1: and Bobby Heenan. I'm gonna buy on Randy Savage. I
- 1:51:07Speaker 1: think his was the most successful run. And I'm going
- 1:51:11Speaker 1: to rent on Bobby Heenan, and I'm gonna sell on
- 1:51:15Speaker 1: Brett Hart. As much of a Brett fan as I was,
- 1:51:19Speaker 1: I was not a fan of his WCW run. Bobby
- 1:51:25Speaker 1: was pretty well checked out there by the end. But
- 1:51:27Speaker 1: I do feel like he was still like he was
- 1:51:30Speaker 1: still Bobby, like when he first came into WCW and
- 1:51:33Speaker 1: then in the early days of the nWo stuff, you know,
- 1:51:36Speaker 1: the way that he would always sell like the fear
- 1:51:39Speaker 1: and anxiety, and like he was a big part I
- 1:51:41Speaker 1: think of helping to get that angle over, like on commentary.
- 1:51:46Speaker 1: So for Bobby at least, it wasn't like a total loss.
- 1:51:48Speaker 1: But like I just I can't look at Brettthard's WCW
- 1:51:50Speaker 1: running outside of the l Dandy stuff and him talking
- 1:51:53Speaker 1: about his fucking cat. I can't really say there was
- 1:51:57Speaker 1: much else about it that I'm really a big fan of.
- 1:52:04Speaker 1: Takes a lot to fuck out Brett Hart, but they
- 1:52:08Speaker 1: found a way to do it anyway. Thank you guys
- 1:52:13Speaker 1: for hanging out with me and making this review, as
- 1:52:15Speaker 1: we usually do, more fun than the actual show. Tomorrow
- 1:52:19Speaker 1: night is the elimination chamber, and I am going to
- 1:52:21Speaker 1: be live during the chamber. That's who's in the crate dancing?
- 1:52:26Speaker 1: Sammy's ain is in the crate. I don't know what
- 1:52:31Speaker 1: would you be mad about that if Sammy's ain came
- 1:52:34Speaker 1: out of the crate dancing, I don't know. It might
- 1:52:37Speaker 1: be better than the actual reveal that we get. Why
- 1:52:41Speaker 1: is there a fucking helicopter over my house?
- 1:52:48Speaker 2: That's weird?
- 1:52:50Speaker 1: And there's Vatos sting Cameron Spencer with a four ninety
- 1:52:57Speaker 1: nine puts this ain't in the Vision, which will lead
- 1:53:01Speaker 1: to a wargames match between New Vision against Seth Breaker
- 1:53:06Speaker 1: and Reed a Vision Civil War. Yeah, that's too close
- 1:53:11Speaker 1: to like a bloodline mft's civil War. I mean you're
- 1:53:18Speaker 1: looking at war games, you're looking at the end of
- 1:53:19Speaker 1: the year. A lot can happen between now and the
- 1:53:21Speaker 1: end of the year. I don't want a Wargames match
- 1:53:24Speaker 1: between Vision one and Vision two. That Wargames match doesn't
- 1:53:30Speaker 1: excite me. If they finally caught Sola, they'll never catch
- 1:53:36Speaker 1: me alive. I got my bag packed. If they're looking
- 1:53:41Speaker 1: for me, I'll be gone before they even know it. Yeah,
- 1:53:48Speaker 1: I don't know what it is. This is like a
- 1:53:50Speaker 1: constant weekly occurrence where, for whatever reason, in this area,
- 1:53:55Speaker 1: there's just these these helicopter flyovers and they'll just kind
- 1:54:01Speaker 1: of like hang around long enough where like everything vibrates,
- 1:54:06Speaker 1: and then it'll be gone, and then they'll come back,
- 1:54:08Speaker 1: and then they'll be gone. This is lug every week.
- 1:54:11Speaker 1: It's annoying as shit, and I have no idea what
- 1:54:13Speaker 1: they're doing. I don't know what they're looking for. I
- 1:54:15Speaker 1: don't know what the purpose of any of it is.
- 1:54:18Speaker 1: I mean, this has been for months the feds. Feds
- 1:54:24Speaker 1: are watching Solo and this house could be bugged. All
- 1:54:30Speaker 1: they gotta do is watch the stream. They don't have
- 1:54:32Speaker 1: to bug anything. It's all on here. I'm live with you, guys.
- 1:54:38Speaker 1: They're watching me. Well, as long as they hit the
- 1:54:40Speaker 1: like button they want to send a super chat and
- 1:54:42Speaker 1: more than Welcome to link Master. Woke up this morning,
- 1:54:48Speaker 1: got some gabba ghoul. It's all look gonna get a
- 1:54:55Speaker 1: knock on his door midstream? Is all that drug talk? See,
- 1:55:02Speaker 1: I blame you, guys. It's all your fault. You had
- 1:55:04Speaker 1: to be talking about chronic Molly Duchy eas whatever the
- 1:55:13Speaker 1: fuck that is. Now I got the Feds flying over
- 1:55:16Speaker 1: my house. This is all your fault. Well, hopefully I'll
- 1:55:19Speaker 1: be available for an Elimination Chamber review tomorrow and I
- 1:55:22Speaker 1: won't be locked up, and Sunday will be episode nine
- 1:55:28Speaker 1: fifty three of the SoundOff. Have I ever been to
