WWE Smackdown 5/29/26 Review | Alexa Bliss Goes PRIVATE On Social Media, Jacob Fatu INJURED? · Solomonster Sounds Off

0:00
Speaker 1: The early reviews have returned, thank god from my VPN.
0:04
Speaker 1: It's another international tour. It's gonna be one of those months.
0:08
Speaker 1: WWE is going to be overseas, not the entire month
0:12
Speaker 1: of June, but they're gonna be overseas for a bunch
0:14
Speaker 1: of different dates. So we're gonna have some early reviews
0:18
Speaker 1: and hopefully you guys are enjoying them as much as
0:20
Speaker 1: I am. Thank God for Barcelona. Those people, man, God
0:26
Speaker 1: bless them, God bless them. They they did what they could,
0:30
Speaker 1: They really did. They did what they could to try
0:32
Speaker 1: to make this show. Without it about that crowd, it
0:36
Speaker 1: would have been basically it would have felt like every
0:38
Speaker 1: other SmackDown that we have seen now over the last
0:41
Speaker 1: several weeks. I mean, look, when was the last time, honestly,
0:45
Speaker 1: I want I want you to really think hard about this.
0:49
Speaker 1: When was the last time that we saw Damian Priest
0:51
Speaker 1: match on SmackDown that got the kind of reaction that
0:54
Speaker 1: his match got here on this show. It's it's been
0:57
Speaker 1: a while, especially a match against the MFT of all people,
1:02
Speaker 1: and even that match got a reaction. At least they
1:04
Speaker 1: were making noise on this show. So this was the
1:07
Speaker 1: go home show. To clash in Italy, which is coming
1:10
Speaker 1: up on Sunday, which is also an early start, that's
1:13
Speaker 1: going to be two pm Eastern time, and to show
1:17
Speaker 1: with five matches, two of which are now in some
1:21
Speaker 1: degree of jeopardy of potentially being I don't know if
1:26
Speaker 1: canceled is the right word for it, or they may
1:28
Speaker 1: have to come up with a plan B. Tribal combat
1:31
Speaker 1: being one of them, and the Women's Intercontinental title match
1:35
Speaker 1: with Becky Lynch and sol Ruka being the other. Because
1:39
Speaker 1: sol Ruka may or may not be injured. Becky Lynch
1:42
Speaker 1: has been cutting promos on her on social media talking
1:45
Speaker 1: about her not being medically cleared. So apparently sol Ruka
1:48
Speaker 1: she will be there. She will be in Italy. She's
1:50
Speaker 1: either there or she's en route. But whether or not
1:53
Speaker 1: she has an actual injury, there was talk about that
1:56
Speaker 1: coming out of Saturday night's main event on that Botch
2:00
Speaker 1: Soul Snatcher spot there might have been a leg injury.
2:03
Speaker 1: So we don't know one hundred exactly what's going on there.
2:06
Speaker 1: Tribal combat with Roman Reigns and Jacob fa too, that's
2:10
Speaker 1: a little that's a little diceier. Unfortunately, Jacob FO two
2:15
Speaker 1: was injured in a street fight with Solo Socoa last
2:20
Speaker 1: night at the WWE Live event in Liverpool, and there
2:25
Speaker 1: was a report earlier from Mike Johnson, a PW insider,
2:29
Speaker 1: because he was seen limping after the match, and so
2:31
Speaker 1: some people were just hoping maybe he was selling. Mike Johnson,
2:35
Speaker 1: a PW insider, earlier he confirmed that there is an injury.
2:38
Speaker 1: He didn't say how serious it is. He goes he
2:40
Speaker 1: was injured, that was not him just selling. And then
2:43
Speaker 1: I saw also Corey Hayes, formerly a bodyslam dot net
2:48
Speaker 1: now with the website False Finish talking about is a
2:52
Speaker 1: back injury apparently, and WWE is they're preparing in case
2:58
Speaker 1: they need to pivot, but they're not one hundred percent
3:01
Speaker 1: sure that he won't be able to go. So again
3:04
Speaker 1: fifty to fifty he may or may not be okay,
3:06
Speaker 1: but apparently it's a back injury of some kind. I mean,
3:09
Speaker 1: unless the man can't stand up on his own two feet.
3:13
Speaker 1: Knowing Jacob too, I'm sure he will do everything in
3:16
Speaker 1: his power to be in that main event. I mean,
3:18
Speaker 1: this is the biggest match of his career coming up
3:21
Speaker 1: on Sunday. It would have to be a pretty terrible
3:23
Speaker 1: injury for him not to be in that tribal combat match.
3:26
Speaker 1: So we'll have to just monitor that see if there's
3:29
Speaker 1: any news that develops tomorrow. Why was he working against
3:34
Speaker 1: Solo to begin with? Look, one of the few times
3:38
Speaker 1: they actually do live events is when they go on
3:40
Speaker 1: these international tours. I know they're having a summer tour
3:43
Speaker 1: this summer here in domestically, but typically the only time
3:47
Speaker 1: these days that they even do live events is when
3:49
Speaker 1: they're over in Europe or they're touring somewhere, So that's
3:52
Speaker 1: not really all that surprising. I agree with you, though,
3:56
Speaker 1: you know, did he need to be in a street
3:57
Speaker 1: fight with Solo's Socoa? Probably not, But anyway, that status
4:02
Speaker 1: update on him. But this was the go home show,
4:05
Speaker 1: and I will say one of the segments that I
4:08
Speaker 1: think maybe the only segment, frankly, let me correct myself.
4:12
Speaker 1: The only segment on this show that really did what
4:15
Speaker 1: I thought was a good job on this go home
4:18
Speaker 1: show of getting me more excited for a match that's
4:23
Speaker 1: on the card on Sunday was the closing segment. It
4:25
Speaker 1: was a face to face in the ring with Cody
4:27
Speaker 1: Rhodes and Gunther. I thought they did a good job
4:30
Speaker 1: of kind of going back and forth at each other
4:33
Speaker 1: and getting the anticipation raised for their WWE Championship match,
4:37
Speaker 1: which is opening the show. By the way, they are
4:39
Speaker 1: kicking off Clash in Italy the first hour on ESPN,
4:42
Speaker 1: they're kicking off with a WWE title match. So I
4:46
Speaker 1: thought the closing segment and I did a good job
4:48
Speaker 1: of that. I wish I could say the same for
4:50
Speaker 1: everything else on the show, but I can't. I'd be
4:52
Speaker 1: lying if I said I did. The only other SmackDown
4:55
Speaker 1: match that's on the card on Sunday is the Women's
4:57
Speaker 1: Championship match between Rhea Ripley and Jade Cargill, and they
5:00
Speaker 1: didn't do anything on this show to get me any
5:03
Speaker 1: more or less excited to see that. So as these
5:06
Speaker 1: final go home shows are concerned, they didn't do a
5:09
Speaker 1: whole hell of a lot outside of the main event.
5:12
Speaker 1: It was a very missible show, as most Smackdowns are.
5:16
Speaker 1: They did have a couple of good matches, we'll go
5:18
Speaker 1: through what those were, but otherwise a very missible, very
5:23
Speaker 1: paint by numbers, typical episode of SmackDown, with the exception
5:28
Speaker 1: of the crowd in Barcelona, which was great all night,
5:31
Speaker 1: but let's talk about it. This was your Friday Night,
5:33
Speaker 1: this is your Friday night was this is your Friday
5:35
Speaker 1: Night SmackDown review. It is Friday, May twenty ninth, twenty
5:41
Speaker 1: twenty six. I am the Solemn Monster. Thank you guys
5:44
Speaker 1: for hanging out with me. I know it's not our
5:46
Speaker 1: usual time, so not everybody is going to be with us.
5:49
Speaker 1: Some people are watching the show as we speak, because
5:52
Speaker 1: it just started fifteen minutes ago on the USA Network.
5:55
Speaker 1: But for those of you who are with me, I
5:57

6:10
Speaker 1: We had an explosion here on Wednesday night of support,
6:15
Speaker 1: so I thank you for that. But yeah, superchats are open.
6:17
Speaker 1: I'll be reading your messages here a little bit later on,
6:19
Speaker 1: so go ahead and get them. One in. How do
6:22
Speaker 1: you sleep at night in that super Not well? Not well.
6:27
Speaker 1: Even when I'm not sick, I don't sleep very I
6:30
Speaker 1: don't get enough sleep. That's the problem. I don't know
6:33
Speaker 1: how many years off my life I'm shaving by not
6:35
Speaker 1: getting enough sleep. But it's very, very bad. You need
6:38
Speaker 1: to get a certain amount of shut eye every night.
6:41
Speaker 1: You gotta let you got to recharge the batteries, you
6:43
Speaker 1: got to get your rem sleep, all that stuff. I'm
6:45
Speaker 1: terrible at that. Spin the wheel. I'm usually pretty good
6:49
Speaker 1: at this, though. Let's spind the wheel find out how
6:52
Speaker 1: many likes we need to do? Be the Booker? Will
6:55
Speaker 1: there be a be the Booker tonight? I don't know.
6:57
Speaker 1: It's going to be up to you guys. Five hundred yes,
7:06
Speaker 1: Alexander says a five hundred dollars superchat on Wednesday was insane.
7:10
Speaker 1: That was. But we go from five hundred dollars superchats
7:14
Speaker 1: to five hundred likes. We're one seventy four right now.
7:22
Speaker 1: Aska is not happy about that. We're gonna try though.
7:25
Speaker 1: As I'm doing the review, you guys hit the like
7:27
Speaker 1: button and we'll see how close we can get. Five
7:29
Speaker 1: hundred is the goal, so now you know, all right,
7:31
Speaker 1: let's get into this here. Jade cargill I mentioned she's
7:35
Speaker 1: gonna be challenging for the WWE Women's Championship on Sunday.
7:39
Speaker 1: She opened the show tonight, came out to the ring
7:42
Speaker 1: with Mechen and Bfab. Big heat, big heat for these
7:47
Speaker 1: three here in Barcelona, and she said that she was
7:50
Speaker 1: confused because the fans acted like she had something to prove,
7:53
Speaker 1: but she's one of one. Rhea Ripley ended up coming
7:56
Speaker 1: out to interrupt the party. She got the expected massive reaction.
8:02
Speaker 1: She reminded Jade that she beat her when it was
8:05
Speaker 1: just the two of them, and Jade said the Beefab
8:07
Speaker 1: and Mechin are with her because they want a piece
8:10
Speaker 1: of the power, whereas Rhea is with people who don't
8:13
Speaker 1: even like her. Cues Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss. Then
8:17
Speaker 1: we're fighting words. So Charlotte and Alexa came out tons
8:21
Speaker 1: of Alexa chans. They were singing her name. I don't
8:23
Speaker 1: know what it was. Barcelona loved them some, Alexa Bliss.
8:28
Speaker 1: Charlotte said that Jade has been in WWE for five minutes,
8:31
Speaker 1: but she acts like she's a Hall of Famer. She
8:34
Speaker 1: will be, she will be one day. She respects how
8:39
Speaker 1: far Jade has come, but she told her not to
8:41
Speaker 1: confuse her own hype for actual achievements. Alexis said that
8:45
Speaker 1: she's gone toe to toe with people in the ring
8:47
Speaker 1: and on the mic, who were way better than Jade,
8:50
Speaker 1: and she warned her, don't make me embarrass you. So
8:53
Speaker 1: out comes Nick All, this the general manager, and he
8:57
Speaker 1: made a match between Jade and Alexa which would come
9:00
Speaker 1: after this commercial break, and away we went outside of
9:04
Speaker 1: the hot crowd, very paint by numbers open to the
9:07
Speaker 1: show here. I don't know. I thought they would go
9:09
Speaker 1: with something a little more hype to get the fans
9:12
Speaker 1: going right at the beginning of the show, and then
9:13
Speaker 1: outwalks Jade and Meechin and Befab. I'm like, Okay, not
9:18
Speaker 1: the hot open I was expecting. But they did get
9:20
Speaker 1: a lot of heat. So we had Jade car Gill
9:23
Speaker 1: one on one with Alexa Bliss and the fans were
9:25
Speaker 1: doing the Oleolola chance at one point to rally behind
9:30
Speaker 1: Alexa Bliss fan. I knew, see, I knew Bliss fan
9:35
Speaker 1: would shime in here. Do you think, Alexander, do you
9:39
Speaker 1: think Barcelona liked Alexa Bliss more than Bliss fan? No? No,
9:44
Speaker 1: I think that would be impossible. Blizz Fan says Alexa
9:51
Speaker 1: is the greatest female on the mic. Uh, yeah, I
9:57
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know if I would concur she's good.
10:00
Speaker 1: She's got We're talking all time? What are we talking
10:02
Speaker 1: about here? We're talking about today, were talking about all time.
10:07
Speaker 1: So Bliss tried a leap into a rana off the apron. Jade,
10:11
Speaker 1: though caught her and held on, ended up power bombing
10:13
Speaker 1: her onto the barricade, heading into a break. Alexa mounted
10:17
Speaker 1: a comeback later on, including a modified natural selection. She
10:21
Speaker 1: went for the sister Abigail DDT. Jade, though countered out
10:24
Speaker 1: of it Meechin and befab. They ended up brawling off
10:28
Speaker 1: outside with Charlotte and Rhea, which left these two alone.
10:32
Speaker 1: Alexa went for twisted Bliss. She ate the knees though
10:34
Speaker 1: on the way down, and Cargill put her down with
10:38
Speaker 1: Jaded for the win. I mean, you couldn't expect this
10:42
Speaker 1: to go any other way with her having a championship
10:46
Speaker 1: match in forty eight hours. But then when the match
10:48
Speaker 1: was over, Jade went and retrieved the chair from underneath
10:51
Speaker 1: the ring. She brought it inside, laid it down flat,
10:54
Speaker 1: and she delivered a second Jaded, this time onto a chair.
10:59
Speaker 1: Charlotte and Rhea then ran back out little late, little
11:02
Speaker 1: late to the party, and Jade bailed at that point
11:06
Speaker 1: out before I go on I have to say this.
11:10
Speaker 1: I noticed when when Alexa took this bump onto the
11:14
Speaker 1: chair right, the chair was flat. She took a jaded
11:16
Speaker 1: onto the chair. She put her hands out, her face
11:19
Speaker 1: and head never came close to connecting with the chair, right.
11:23
Speaker 1: So that's how that spot played out. And I see
11:27
Speaker 1: people on social media giving her shit for it. Apparently
11:30
Speaker 1: she was taking a lot of heat for it on
11:32
Speaker 1: social media, and Alexa Bliss has taken her her ex
11:37
Speaker 1: her Twitter profile private. It's now locked, I guess because
11:41
Speaker 1: she was getting so much heat and so much shit
11:44
Speaker 1: from people on x that she decided to go private.
11:48
Speaker 1: And all I'm going to say about it is this,
11:51
Speaker 1: first of all, yet, we know people are assholes on
11:53
Speaker 1: social media, right, we know this already. It's one thing
11:58
Speaker 1: to say, oh, you know, the spot didn't look good
12:00
Speaker 1: because of whatever, but like some of the stuff you
12:01
Speaker 1: see online is just it's just inhumane. And I will
12:07
Speaker 1: also point out to you that in Alexa Bliss, this
12:09
Speaker 1: is a woman with a history of a concussions and
12:14
Speaker 1: be broken noses. So if I were Alexa Bliss, I'd
12:18
Speaker 1: put my fucking hands out too. If Jade Cargill was
12:22
Speaker 1: trying to slam me face down onto a chair. So
12:26
Speaker 1: cut the bullshit. It's not that big of a deal.
12:28
Speaker 1: It didn't look good. No, it didn't look that good.
12:30
Speaker 1: But who cares doesn't mean that you go online you
12:33
Speaker 1: give the woman shit. I can only imagine some of
12:35
Speaker 1: the messages that she was getting, you know, at at
12:39
Speaker 1: Alexiu it look like shit. You need to learn how
12:44
Speaker 1: to work. Yeah, you need to learn how to not
12:46
Speaker 1: slobber all over yourself when you speak, fucking demon. The
12:52
Speaker 1: match was fine, It was in hands by the crowd.
12:55
Speaker 1: Crowd was super into this, they were super into Alexa.
12:59
Speaker 1: I've always said, like, we're going to get this match first.
13:01
Speaker 1: We have to get this match first before we get
13:04
Speaker 1: the eventual match with Jade and Charlotte, which they've teased
13:07
Speaker 1: and teased and teased, and we still haven't gotten it.
13:11
Speaker 1: So that's the big match. I know Bliss Faan would disagree,
13:14
Speaker 1: but Alexa Bliss was always going to be a stepping
13:16
Speaker 1: stone in this story to get to the match. The
13:18
Speaker 1: WWECS is being the bigger match, which is Charlotte against
13:22
Speaker 1: Jade Cargill. The only question is when do we get
13:24
Speaker 1: that match? So are we looking at a situation where
13:28
Speaker 1: the SummerSlam match is Rhea Ripley defending the WWE Women's
13:32
Speaker 1: Championship against Charlotte Flair or are they going to save
13:36
Speaker 1: the first Jade Cargill Charlotte match, not for any titles,
13:41
Speaker 1: but they're going to save that for SummerSlam because that
13:43
Speaker 1: would be a big enough match on the undercard. If
13:45
Speaker 1: they wanted to do that at Summer Slim, then you
13:48
Speaker 1: just have to figure out who's challenging Ria for the championship.
13:51
Speaker 1: Maybe someone like jac Jane goes on to win Queen
13:54
Speaker 1: of the Ring and she wrestles Ria at SummerSlam. Right,
13:56
Speaker 1: Fatal Influence has been getting a decent push since they've
13:59
Speaker 1: been called up. If Charlotte and Rhea is the destination
14:02
Speaker 1: though for SummerSlam, then not mean Charlotte would have to
14:05
Speaker 1: win Queen of the Ring. Because they did clarify tonight.
14:07
Speaker 1: They didn't do this on Monday Monday. They left it
14:09
Speaker 1: kind of vague, but they did clarify tonight on the
14:12
Speaker 1: show that the winners of the King and Queen of
14:14
Speaker 1: the Ring as they did last year, would get a
14:17
Speaker 1: championship opportunity at SummerSlam. They didn't say at SummerSlam on Monday,
14:22
Speaker 1: so I was wondering if they were changing that, But
14:24
Speaker 1: now we know it's going to be at Summer Slam,
14:26
Speaker 1: so that's the only thing you would have to have
14:27
Speaker 1: Charlotte go over and win. Well, I guess not, though
14:31
Speaker 1: not necessarily. That's not necessarily true. See, I'm just thinking
14:36
Speaker 1: of things in terms of SmackDown right now because the
14:38
Speaker 1: raw women's division is just completely fucked and they don't
14:41
Speaker 1: have anybody obvious outside of Stephanie Vacuaire on tap for
14:45
Speaker 1: Live Morgan Live. Morgan's basically been a manager for the
14:47
Speaker 1: last month. But I suppose if somebody from the raw
14:50
Speaker 1: side where will win Queen of the Ring, then they
14:52
Speaker 1: could pretty much do whatever they want on the SmackDown side.
14:55
Speaker 1: So that's not entirely true, but I would say that
14:58
Speaker 1: Charlotte Flair probably is a pretty a pretty good candidate
15:02
Speaker 1: to win Queen of the Ring this year. And don't
15:08
Speaker 1: forget also, I forgot to mention there is a Saturday
15:10
Speaker 1: Night's main event coming up in July that's at Madison
15:12
Speaker 1: Square Garden. They could always do a Charlotte Jade match
15:16
Speaker 1: on that show. That would be a big show to
15:18
Speaker 1: do it on also, But as far as the rest
15:23
Speaker 1: of this, again, this was fine with a crowd that
15:26
Speaker 1: made it that much better. So after this, we had
15:29
Speaker 1: Cody Roads backstage and he was being interviewed about his
15:34
Speaker 1: match coming up on Sunday with Gunther when Sammy's Ain
15:38
Speaker 1: interrupted and Sammy wanted an apology. Demanded an apology for
15:44
Speaker 1: Cody sticking him with the Crossroads in their match last
15:48
Speaker 1: week on SmackDown, because he felt like that was a
15:50
Speaker 1: knife in his back. He tried to help Cody after
15:54
Speaker 1: Gunther interfered in their match, and Cody, what does he
15:57
Speaker 1: do when Sammy turns around, He sticks and the Crossroads.
16:01
Speaker 1: So Cody was in no mood to talk to this man.
16:03
Speaker 1: He is not a fan of sammy' z ain at
16:05
Speaker 1: the moment, and he brought up Sammy walking away when
16:10
Speaker 1: the match was over and Gunther had him in the
16:12
Speaker 1: sleeper hold and all Sammy did was stand there and watch,
16:16
Speaker 1: and he opted to leave instead of help, So he
16:18
Speaker 1: brought that up. Sammy said it took everything he had
16:21
Speaker 1: not to help because he's he's really a good guy.
16:25
Speaker 1: But he realized that the right thing to do was
16:27
Speaker 1: to leave Cody there so he could learn a lesson
16:29
Speaker 1: and Cody said, all right, well, once he finishes with Gunther,
16:32
Speaker 1: he hoped to be able to teach Sammy a lesson.
16:37
Speaker 1: You know, Sammy could teach Cody a lesson by costing
16:42
Speaker 1: him the WWE Championship on Sunday. I'm just saying it's
16:48
Speaker 1: a very real possibility that that could very well happen.
16:53
Speaker 1: Elsewhere in the back, Nick all This told Dan Hausen, Yes,
16:58
Speaker 1: Dan Hausen was there. He got a big pop, as
17:01
Speaker 1: he does pretty much everywhere he goes. But he's all
17:04
Speaker 1: dan Housen that he was sorry that his science lab
17:07
Speaker 1: equipment could not come with them overseas. They couldn't clear
17:10
Speaker 1: it through customs, but he shouldn't be conducting more experiments
17:15
Speaker 1: after last week, and dan Housen asked all this, well,
17:19
Speaker 1: what do you want me to do? So all This
17:21
Speaker 1: said he wanted him to appear in front of the
17:23
Speaker 1: crowd that has you know, he's paid real human money
17:28
Speaker 1: to go in front of So Dan Housen looked like
17:31
Speaker 1: he had some great idea. He ran off, and the
17:34
Speaker 1: Mis walked in, and the Mis is conversing with Nick
17:36
Speaker 1: all This, and as this is happening, dan Housen is
17:40
Speaker 1: he's collecting various items in the background for something, but
17:44
Speaker 1: Mis complained about the liquid limit, a customs preventing Kit
17:48
Speaker 1: Wilson from making it into the country because he had
17:51
Speaker 1: too much moisturizer. So Mis wanted all this to postpone
17:56
Speaker 1: his match tonight. All this didn't buy it. He told Mis,
17:59
Speaker 1: you're up next, and in fact up next it was
18:02
Speaker 1: the Miz one on one with Axiom in his home
18:06
Speaker 1: country of Spain, which is the only reason that we
18:09
Speaker 1: saw Axiom here on this show. This is why they
18:11
Speaker 1: took Axium off the shelf and they they blew the
18:15
Speaker 1: dust off. Right, I got toy Story five is coming
18:18
Speaker 1: out in a few weeks, Right, all the old toys,
18:20
Speaker 1: you got to take off the shelf and dust them off.
18:22
Speaker 1: That's what wwe did with Axium tonight. Let's dust them off.
18:26
Speaker 1: We'll let him come out and play for one week.
18:28
Speaker 1: So he got his match here with the Miz. So
18:32
Speaker 1: the lights flickered on and off at different points here
18:35
Speaker 1: during this match. Joe Testitur was blaming it on the
18:38
Speaker 1: ninety three degree heat in Spain and the fact that
18:40
Speaker 1: they've had rolling blackouts, so it must be that. So anyway,
18:45
Speaker 1: all this light flickering Joe Testitur thought he's blaming it
18:48
Speaker 1: on this, that and the other, and Wade Barrett insinuated
18:50
Speaker 1: now it has to do with Dan Housen. So the
18:53
Speaker 1: crowd was hot for Axiom. As you would expect, Mis
18:55
Speaker 1: went for a skull crushing finale that got countered. Miz
18:58
Speaker 1: caught him anyway with a DDT two for a near fall.
19:01
Speaker 1: Later on, Liz Miz landed a power bomb headed to
19:05
Speaker 1: the top rope and the lights went out again and
19:08
Speaker 1: they came back on. They went out, they came back on.
19:10
Speaker 1: This distracted Mis long enough to allow Axiom to bring
19:13
Speaker 1: him down with an avalanche Spanish fly and followed that
19:18
Speaker 1: with the golden ratio for the win. Good stuff here,
19:25
Speaker 1: good stuff here. I thought they had a good match.
19:27
Speaker 1: It was nice to see Axiom get a win, even
19:30
Speaker 1: if it's the only one that he will be getting
19:32
Speaker 1: this year. It was still nice to see. No Julia
19:37
Speaker 1: in Italy. Well, they weren't in Italy tonight, and no,
19:39
Speaker 1: she is not on the Clash in Italy card on Sunday. However,
19:45
Speaker 1: I would have to expect that they will find a
19:47
Speaker 1: place for her on the show next week. SmackDown is
19:50
Speaker 1: in Italy. Next week. Now, if they leave her off
19:53
Speaker 1: SmackDown next week, if they in three hours of SmackDown
19:56
Speaker 1: next Friday, if they cannot find something for Julia, who
20:01
Speaker 1: is part Italian, to do on that show, that is fucked.
20:06
Speaker 1: So I don't know that she's going to have a
20:08
Speaker 1: major role, but yes, I would expect that she would
20:10
Speaker 1: be on Smackdow next week. If she's not on that show,
20:12
Speaker 1: that's that's completely fucked. So Damian Priest and are Truth.
20:18
Speaker 1: They were in the back. Truth evidently is still not cleared.
20:22
Speaker 1: He has an athletic tape on his shoulder. I'm assuming
20:26
Speaker 1: it's some sort of real injury and he's legitimately not
20:30
Speaker 1: cleared because he hasn't wrestled in weeks. But they're in
20:33
Speaker 1: the back and Truth because he is not medically cleared,
20:38
Speaker 1: tells Priest that he has found a partner for him
20:40
Speaker 1: tonight and Royce Keys walks in. Now. Priest was not
20:45
Speaker 1: happy about this. He goes, if I'm going to team
20:47
Speaker 1: with anybody, you and me are the tag team champions,
20:50
Speaker 1: It's going to be you. But he also doesn't like
20:53
Speaker 1: Royce Keys. He doesn't trust him. He thinks he's in
20:55
Speaker 1: cahoots with the the Miffits the MFTs. So truth was
21:02
Speaker 1: basically like, look, you're not afraid of the MFTs. You're
21:06
Speaker 1: not afraid of him, right, Well, then you two guys
21:08
Speaker 1: are going to a team. That's it. And then off
21:11
Speaker 1: he went, and Preach chased after him at that point,
21:14
Speaker 1: so that match was coming up a little bit later
21:16
Speaker 1: on in the show elsewhere, Sammy Zain was venting to
21:20
Speaker 1: Candace Lorae and said, I feel like you're one of
21:22
Speaker 1: the few people who gets me. And Candace was very
21:26
Speaker 1: touched by this. She thought that he was talking to
21:28
Speaker 1: her and he said, no, actually, I was talking about him.
21:32
Speaker 1: And the camera panned out and we see Johnny Gargano
21:35
Speaker 1: laying flat on the dirty floor and now that he
21:38
Speaker 1: was basically next to a staircase, so they were level,
21:42
Speaker 1: their faces were level. It's not like he was literally
21:44
Speaker 1: looking down at him on the floor, but he's laying
21:46
Speaker 1: on the fucking floor on the fucking staircase. This is
21:49
Speaker 1: what they flew this man out to Italy to do.
21:51
Speaker 1: By the way, I want somebody to look up the
21:53
Speaker 1: results of some of the recent live events this week,
21:56
Speaker 1: and I don't know if last night was the first
21:58
Speaker 1: one they did, if they've had a few nights. Is
22:01
Speaker 1: Johnny Gargano at least wrestling on the live events or
22:04
Speaker 1: is this literally the only thing they flew him out
22:07
Speaker 1: to Italy to do is to lay on the floor,
22:10
Speaker 1: on the dirty floor, in a catatonic state. This may
22:15
Speaker 1: be the only thing this man does. Flew all the
22:18
Speaker 1: way to Italy. How long of a flight is that?
22:20
Speaker 1: I wonder from New York it's gotta be what eight hours?
22:23
Speaker 1: Probably something like that. Ridiculous Matt cardonah showed up in
22:30
Speaker 1: the middle of this and said things aren't going my
22:32
Speaker 1: way either, but at least I'm not talking to a corpse.
22:36
Speaker 1: And he almost called Sammy a name. He stopped short.
22:39
Speaker 1: This triggered Sammy. It's set him off, he goes, I
22:43
Speaker 1: can't tolerate the disrespect any longer. He challenged Cardona to
22:47
Speaker 1: a match tonight, and Cardona said he was going to
22:49
Speaker 1: go talk to Nick all this about it. Its honest work. Hey, Look,
22:56
Speaker 1: if laying on the floor is going to net him
22:58
Speaker 1: in an easy paycheck, then more power to him. I
23:02
Speaker 1: just can't believe this. He's flying literally all over the
23:05
Speaker 1: world to lay on the floor and just stare into space.
23:10
Speaker 1: But he's probably getting paid pretty good. Say hey, good
23:13
Speaker 1: for him. Only a matter of time before we get
23:17
Speaker 1: a DIY reunion. You know it's coming. I don't know
23:20
Speaker 1: how much time he's got left on his contract, but
23:22
Speaker 1: it's only a matter of time. Backstage, Charlotte was assisting
23:26
Speaker 1: Alexa Bliss with an ice pack, and then she walked
23:29
Speaker 1: over and confronted or ran into rear Ripley. Charlotte made
23:34
Speaker 1: it very clear to Rhea that if Ria doesn't take
23:36
Speaker 1: care of Jade to clash in Italy, then she will.
23:39
Speaker 1: She said, Jade's got a receipt coming. We had Damian
23:44
Speaker 1: Priest and Royce's Keys against Toma Toga and Talla Toga,
23:48
Speaker 1: the brothers of the Miffits, Lily and Garcia. This was
23:53
Speaker 1: the funniest moment of the entire show. As Damian Priest
23:57
Speaker 1: was making his way out to the ring, Lily and
24:01
Speaker 1: Garcia called him Damon Priest, so that is officially his
24:05
Speaker 1: new name. Now he is officially Damon Priest. This got
24:09
Speaker 1: more heat than any Damian Priest or MFTs match that
24:12
Speaker 1: we have seen in at least six months. As I
24:15
Speaker 1: said at the beginning, God blessed the crowd in Barcelona.
24:17
Speaker 1: They were. They were more into this than probably I
24:20
Speaker 1: would say the last two months of audiences combined when
24:24
Speaker 1: it comes to anything that any of these men have
24:27
Speaker 1: been doing. And I've also realized I've come to the realization,
24:31
Speaker 1: not that I didn't kind of know this already, but
24:33
Speaker 1: it really hit me tonight. Whenever Damian Priest comes out.
24:36
Speaker 1: This is one of the problems here with with Damian Priest,
24:39
Speaker 1: and it's not his fault. His music absolutely fucking sucks.
24:44
Speaker 1: His music when they hit his music, his music is
24:47
Speaker 1: such a fucking buzzkill. When they hit it, it is awful,
24:53
Speaker 1: and that is part of the problem. I think when
24:55
Speaker 1: he comes out, like you hear it and it's almost
24:58
Speaker 1: you know the feeling I get if you remember when
25:00
Speaker 1: the Big boss Man came back in the late nineties.
25:03
Speaker 1: He was a heel and he had that heel theme
25:06
Speaker 1: and like people would groan when they would hear the
25:09
Speaker 1: beginnings of that theme, I kind of get that same
25:11
Speaker 1: reaction now when I hear Damian Priest music. I sort
25:15
Speaker 1: of grown and I would say that they need to
25:18
Speaker 1: get him better music. But we know that Death Rebel
25:21
Speaker 1: is still in charge of the music, and so if
25:22
Speaker 1: they gave him a new theme song. It would only
25:24
Speaker 1: be worse because we always say, oh, it can't be
25:26
Speaker 1: any worse than this, and then somehow they find a
25:28
Speaker 1: way to make it worse. So I don't know what
25:30
Speaker 1: the solution is here, I really don't. But his music
25:33
Speaker 1: is trash and that doesn't help. After a break, Tamatanga
25:39
Speaker 1: and Royce Keys were going at it. He had Keys
25:42
Speaker 1: trapped in the always exciting resthold. Keys fought out into
25:46
Speaker 1: a sit down power bomb on Tomatanga and then Priest
25:49
Speaker 1: made the tag in He ran wild. He dropped Tama
25:52
Speaker 1: with a flat liner. Solo Sakowa got up on the
25:55
Speaker 1: aprin He delivered a samo and spike to Damian Priest
25:58
Speaker 1: behind the referees back, which brought out our Truth to
26:01
Speaker 1: brawl with Solo, who was about to give Truth the
26:04
Speaker 1: spike until Keys came over to put a stop to it.
26:07
Speaker 1: Then Keys got knocked down from behind. Meanwhile, back inside,
26:11
Speaker 1: Talatanga gives Damian Priest a big old choke slam and
26:14
Speaker 1: he pins him to win it for the Miffits. It's
26:19
Speaker 1: a fine little story they're trying to tell here with
26:21
Speaker 1: Damian Priest and Royce Keys. Priest doesn't trust him, Keys
26:25
Speaker 1: doesn't have any love for him. I don't know where
26:28
Speaker 1: this is going to go, probably a match, but wherever
26:30
Speaker 1: it leads as a story with those two, it's fine.
26:35
Speaker 1: The problem is this is all tied into the MFT
26:38
Speaker 1: stuff and I don't give a shit, Like I just
26:40
Speaker 1: cannot bring myself to care about any of this. So
26:43
Speaker 1: it kind of rubs off on these two guys. Like
26:45
Speaker 1: when I first saw Royce Keys and Solo Socoa associating
26:50
Speaker 1: on TV, I was like, uh, because now you know
26:54
Speaker 1: he's gonna be involved with the MFTs for at least
26:56
Speaker 1: a few months. And it's like, I just I don't know.
27:02
Speaker 1: We go backstage. Miss is threatening to sue Nick. All
27:08
Speaker 1: this because a lot has happened to the MIZ over
27:13
Speaker 1: the last several weeks. He mentioned being nearly blown up
27:16
Speaker 1: by the Pyro a few weeks ago. Now the lights
27:19
Speaker 1: are flickering off and on how is he supposed to wrestle?
27:23
Speaker 1: So all this agreed, and he said he would look
27:25
Speaker 1: into this. Mis said, though, we both know who's behind this,
27:29
Speaker 1: And they came upon Dan Hausen in a makeshift science lab.
27:35
Speaker 1: I guess this is what he was collecting all of
27:36
Speaker 1: that equipment for earlier on. So he was in his
27:42
Speaker 1: little makeshift lab, mis walked in. He got sprayed again
27:47
Speaker 1: by the white stuff. He has the fire extinguisher. He
27:50
Speaker 1: got blown right in the face, and so miss he
27:53
Speaker 1: goes off all this, walks in the corpse of Baron
27:57
Speaker 1: Corbin was laying there again on the under a sheet
28:01
Speaker 1: and all this. Tried to take a peek underneath, and
28:05
Speaker 1: again dan Housen basically swatted him away and told him, now,
28:10
Speaker 1: let me ask you a question here. Okay, we heard
28:13
Speaker 1: before about how dan Housen's science lab it couldn't clear customs,
28:16
Speaker 1: and Kit Wilson couldn't make it through customs because he
28:20
Speaker 1: had too much moisturizer. How did they get the body
28:24
Speaker 1: into Italy? Can someone explain that to me? But it's
28:30
Speaker 1: the same body that was laying underneath the Unless dan
28:32
Speaker 1: Housen is just going around killing various people in different cities,
28:36
Speaker 1: I would assume it's the same body underneath. We weren't
28:39
Speaker 1: quite told how the body made it there. Unless dan
28:41
Speaker 1: Housen has now created a teleportation machine. He already created
28:44
Speaker 1: a cloning machine, maybe he's also created one for teleporting
28:48
Speaker 1: as well. After a break they spent time plugging tribal
28:54
Speaker 1: combat at Clash in Italy, and then they're running down
28:59
Speaker 1: the card and they said later in the show that
29:01
Speaker 1: they would have highlights of all the goings on involving
29:04
Speaker 1: brock Lesner and Oba Femi. So welcome to Friday Night Raw. Yeah,
29:10
Speaker 1: we'll well, we'll see if tribal combat even happens, depending
29:12
Speaker 1: on how the injury situation plays out with Jacob Fato.
29:15
Speaker 1: Chelsea Green. Meanwhile, she found Tiffany Stratton, the United States
29:19
Speaker 1: champion in the back. She said that she was thinking of,
29:21
Speaker 1: you know, for our entrance tonight, and tiff stopped her
29:26
Speaker 1: and said, look, I'm not coming out with you for
29:28
Speaker 1: your match tonight. But Chelsea was like, what about last week?
29:33
Speaker 1: And Tiffany said, it's not that deep. And Chelsea was
29:37
Speaker 1: heartbroken by this, as I am heartbroken by that. Venom
29:45
Speaker 1: Catetsu sitting under the learning tree with the twelve dollars
29:49
Speaker 1: super Chef Venom Catetsu, Thank you. Sammy's ain one on
29:53
Speaker 1: one against Matt Cardona, Cardona had control ahead of a
29:57
Speaker 1: commercial break coming out of it, though that was no
30:00
Speaker 1: longer the case. Cardona made a comeback, landed a Brosky
30:04
Speaker 1: boot in the corner. Sammy avoided a rough rider attempt,
30:07
Speaker 1: but not the double underhook power bomb that followed. There
30:10
Speaker 1: was another rough rider attempt that got turned into a
30:13
Speaker 1: power bomb. Sammy went for a halluva kick. Cardona finally
30:16
Speaker 1: hit the rough rider. Sammy got a foot on the
30:19
Speaker 1: bottom rope though before the three count. Crowd was really
30:21
Speaker 1: into that near fall. Cardona plays Sammy on the top rope.
30:25
Speaker 1: He was looking for something I don't know what, but
30:27
Speaker 1: Sammy shoved him down. Then came the exploder into the corner,
30:30
Speaker 1: and then the halluva kick finished things off. Sammy's ain
30:34
Speaker 1: picks up the wind. Solid match here, and probably the
30:39
Speaker 1: most competitive match that we've seen from Cardona in quite
30:43
Speaker 1: a bit of time. So this was fine. This was fine.
30:48
Speaker 1: After a break, Nick All this was in the back
30:50
Speaker 1: with Gunther and told him to keep things civilized out
30:52
Speaker 1: there with Cody Rhodes, and Gunther said he would he
30:55
Speaker 1: would go out there and attack Cody verbally. Also he said,
30:59
Speaker 1: of all this, considers coming back to Spain, maybe consider
31:03
Speaker 1: going to Madrid next time. And all the fans in
31:07
Speaker 1: Barcelona didn't like that. Is there a certain rivalry that
31:11
Speaker 1: I'm not aware of between the folks in Barcelona and
31:14
Speaker 1: the folks in Madrid, because they seemed awfully bothered by
31:18
Speaker 1: that line. I get the sense that there's a lot
31:21
Speaker 1: of tension between those two contingents. Cardona is really just jobbing. Well,
31:32
Speaker 1: that's that's his job. Literally, Yes, that's why he was
31:37
Speaker 1: brought back. He was brought back to job. I don't
31:40
Speaker 1: know why people are shocked by this. I don't think
31:42
Speaker 1: Cardona himself is shocked by this. Nobody should be shocked
31:47
Speaker 1: by this trick. Williams was out to the ring next
31:52
Speaker 1: with Lili Yadi. Okay, I see, I see, I see
31:55
Speaker 1: all the responses in the chat. Yes, yes, yes, it's
31:57
Speaker 1: a football feud. Soccer is that real Madrid and Barcelona.
32:03
Speaker 1: They don't like he does that, like the Mets and
32:04
Speaker 1: the Yankees, or the Yankees and the Red Sox trick.
32:10
Speaker 1: Williams was out to the ring next with Liliatti. Williams
32:14
Speaker 1: said that he was the man holding down the brand
32:15
Speaker 1: for quite some time, and he talked about how he
32:17
Speaker 1: took out the miss and Carmelo Hayes over the past
32:20
Speaker 1: couple of weeks, and then he called his shot for
32:23
Speaker 1: the King of the Ring, saying it was only right
32:25
Speaker 1: to declare himself here in Barcelona, a place that knew
32:28
Speaker 1: a thing or two about royalty. Carmelo Hayes interrupted and
32:33
Speaker 1: took exception to him considering himself the king of the ring.
32:39
Speaker 1: A king of the entrance, sure, a king on the mic, absolutely,
32:45
Speaker 1: but king of the ring not a chance. He said.
32:48
Speaker 1: Once he took care of Ricky Saints tonight, he was
32:50
Speaker 1: going to finish what he started with Trick last week.
32:53
Speaker 1: So Ricky Saints interrupted. He said that Williams thought that
32:56
Speaker 1: he would get the upper hand on him last week,
32:57
Speaker 1: but he was going to take care of Tricke. He
33:00
Speaker 1: dealt with Carmelo Hayes first Trick called him a bobblehead
33:03
Speaker 1: and said that when the chant tells you to shut
33:05
Speaker 1: the hell up, you shut the hell up. Saints called
33:08
Speaker 1: him a one trick pony, told him to take those
33:10
Speaker 1: lemon peppa steppas and step yo ass and before he
33:14
Speaker 1: could finish what he was going to say, Trick, you
33:17
Speaker 1: know that meme, the uh the it's like the Batman
33:20
Speaker 1: and Robin meme, and Batman like just fucking backhands him
33:24
Speaker 1: and slaps the shit out of him. That's what Trick
33:26
Speaker 1: Williams did to Ricky Saints here he backhanded him, backhanded
33:31
Speaker 1: the mic right out of his hand actually, And then
33:33
Speaker 1: it was time for the next match, which was Carmelo
33:36
Speaker 1: Hayes against Ricky Saints joined already in progress after a
33:42
Speaker 1: commercial break, so Hayes went for a frog splash. Saints
33:47
Speaker 1: got the knees up, followed by the Northern Lights supplex
33:51
Speaker 1: for a near fall. Hayes came back with a springboard
33:54
Speaker 1: clothes line, but then he got dropped by a reverse DDT.
33:57
Speaker 1: Saints got sent outside. Hayes did a dive out onto
34:00
Speaker 1: him and then he climbed up to the top of
34:02
Speaker 1: the barricade, and when Ricky got up and turned around,
34:06
Speaker 1: Ricky got dropped with a diving clothes line off the barricade.
34:10
Speaker 1: Both men failed to make it back into the ring
34:12
Speaker 1: though before the count of ten, and so both men
34:16
Speaker 1: got counted out and the fans booed that finish, So
34:20
Speaker 1: did I boo. After the match, Saints ambushed Hayes, who
34:27
Speaker 1: came back and dropped him with the first forty eight.
34:29
Speaker 1: So look, I get it, you know the finish. It
34:31
Speaker 1: protects both guys so they can run back. Whatever it
34:35
Speaker 1: is that they're going to run back with them. I
34:37
Speaker 1: hope we get a rematch because this one was good
34:39
Speaker 1: for the time that it lasted. Trick declaring for the
34:42
Speaker 1: King of the Ring is interesting because I cannot envision
34:45
Speaker 1: him winning the King of the Ring. It's just especially
34:49
Speaker 1: he's got the United States Championship. I don't see him
34:53
Speaker 1: winning King of the Ring. So maybe Ricky tries to
34:56
Speaker 1: cost him. Mellow comes out, and the two of them
35:01
Speaker 1: being out there creates some sort of distraction and that
35:04
Speaker 1: results in Trick losing, which puts more heat in Trick's
35:07
Speaker 1: mind on those two because you two guys just cost
35:09
Speaker 1: me the fucking crown. And then we kind of go
35:12
Speaker 1: from there, like I can envision some scenario like that
35:16
Speaker 1: playing out here. But we'll see who else is in
35:18
Speaker 1: the tournament, you know, Trick declaring La Knight did the
35:21
Speaker 1: same thing on Raw. If we assume it's a typical
35:24
Speaker 1: eight man tournament, that's two of the eight right there,
35:26
Speaker 1: La Night and Shrick Williams, And I guess we'll just
35:29
Speaker 1: see next week how they flesh out the rest of
35:32
Speaker 1: this bracket if we get a bracket, because we know
35:35
Speaker 1: the matches are starting next week, so I would imagine
35:37
Speaker 1: by Monday, we're gonna have to have some sort of bracket.
35:39
Speaker 1: They haven't showed that to us yet. We got a
35:44
Speaker 1: new Blake Monroevin yet where she was writing in her
35:48
Speaker 1: diary about the SmackDown Women's Division, and she singled out
35:53
Speaker 1: Rhea Ripley, and she's coming soon. Even though we just
35:57
Speaker 1: saw her for about fifteen seconds backstage on the show
36:00
Speaker 1: last week, She's still coming soon to smack down Chelsea
36:06
Speaker 1: Green against Nya Jax. Wade Barrett noted that today is
36:10
Speaker 1: Nya Jax's birthday, and during the commercial break here so
36:15
Speaker 1: if you're watching this on USA, you won't see this,
36:17
Speaker 1: but d During the commercial break, Barrett said that Joe
36:21
Speaker 1: Testatur wasn't invited to her birthday party, adding that Joe
36:25
Speaker 1: likes an early night, and Barrett asked if Testaitour had
36:29
Speaker 1: a siesta earlier, and he goes a very long one. Yes,
36:33
Speaker 1: it's called our production meeting. And Wade had a nice
36:37
Speaker 1: laugh about that. Look at that Joe Testator with the
36:39
Speaker 1: jokes ladies and gentlemen. So late in the match, Nya
36:43
Speaker 1: hit a Samo and drop. She set Chelsea up for
36:45
Speaker 1: the annihilator when Tiffany Stratton's music played. She said that
36:48
Speaker 1: she wouldn't be there. She lied, and so Jax tells
36:53
Speaker 1: Lash legend to go like, go get her, basically go
36:56
Speaker 1: focus on her. No, Lesh, for whatever reason, is standing
36:59
Speaker 1: up on the a because Lash is on the apron.
37:02
Speaker 1: The referee comes over, it is telling her get off
37:04
Speaker 1: the apron. So the fucking referees got his back turned.
37:07
Speaker 1: So Lash is distracted looking at the aisleway. The referee
37:10
Speaker 1: is distracted. Naya is distracted even though she's on the rope.
37:13
Speaker 1: She's looking behind her and she doesn't see that Tiffany
37:16
Speaker 1: Stratton see it's all a diversion. Tiffany Stratton shows up
37:19
Speaker 1: at ringside. She wax Naya with her Women's championship belt.
37:23
Speaker 1: She knocks Naya backwards down onto the mat because the
37:26
Speaker 1: dumb referee is distracted, and Chelsea Green crawls over to
37:30
Speaker 1: cover Naya for the three count. After the match, Chelsea
37:33
Speaker 1: was so happy and she goes over because Tiffany's standing
37:36
Speaker 1: over now by the aisleway, and so Chelsea walks over
37:40
Speaker 1: and she goes to hug Tiffany, but before she could
37:42
Speaker 1: even get to her, Tiffany just leaves. She walks away
37:48
Speaker 1: and instead Chelsea just looks back at the ring and
37:51
Speaker 1: she laughs. I'm all here for the Chelsea Green babyface run.
37:55
Speaker 1: I'm here for it. I'm here. I'm here for any
37:57
Speaker 1: sort of Chelsea Green push that may potentially push her
38:01
Speaker 1: into a more serious role, which I could see at
38:04
Speaker 1: the end of all this. Because I'm looking at this
38:07
Speaker 1: and where I would like to see this go. They
38:12
Speaker 1: continue to, you know, drag this out for a while.
38:15
Speaker 1: Tiffany doesn't want to be friends with her, Tiffany doesn't
38:17
Speaker 1: really want to have anything to do with her, and
38:20
Speaker 1: eventually they come together in some way, right, So this
38:23
Speaker 1: goes on for a little while. Once that happens, I
38:27
Speaker 1: want to see Tiffany Stratton turn on Chelsea Green because
38:31
Speaker 1: I still believe that Tiffany is a better heel than
38:33
Speaker 1: a babyface. I still feel like she is miscast as
38:38
Speaker 1: a babyface and she should be a heel. And if
38:41
Speaker 1: they do it this way, at the end of all this,
38:43
Speaker 1: Tiffany could go heal and it just makes Chelsea Green
38:46
Speaker 1: that much more of a babyface, and it sets her
38:48
Speaker 1: up then to challenge Tiffany for the women's championship, and
38:53
Speaker 1: that's a direction that I would I could get behind that.
38:56
Speaker 1: So I think if they play their cards right, this
38:58
Speaker 1: could be one way to really elevate Chelsea to that
39:01
Speaker 1: next level, to where she wouldn't just be like a
39:06
Speaker 1: comedy character. She'd have to be taken a little more seriously.
39:10
Speaker 1: But just to throw it back in Michael Hayes's face,
39:13
Speaker 1: you know, because Chelsea Green I've always believed, you know
39:16
Speaker 1: that Chelsea Green does have the ability to be a
39:18
Speaker 1: top player in the division. She would have to be
39:20
Speaker 1: a little more serious. I'm not saying she would have
39:22
Speaker 1: to be stone cold serious, but like she would have
39:25
Speaker 1: to sort of adjust or tweak the character a little
39:29
Speaker 1: bit to make it a little more serious as like
39:32
Speaker 1: a top contender. But she could be in that mix,
39:35
Speaker 1: you know, whether he or other people believe in that
39:37
Speaker 1: or not. I do. I believe in that, and so
39:39
Speaker 1: this could be one way to get there. And then
39:45
Speaker 1: Cody Rhodes was out to the ring for the closing segment.
39:50
Speaker 1: We've already reached if you can believe, at the main
39:52
Speaker 1: event of this show. I told her it's a very
39:54
Speaker 1: nothing show. If you miss back down, you did not
39:57
Speaker 1: miss much. But we came to what I thought was
40:00
Speaker 1: maybe maybe the best segment on the show, honestly, or
40:03
Speaker 1: one of the best ones. Cody Rhodes came out to
40:04
Speaker 1: the ring for his face to face with the ring
40:08
Speaker 1: general Gunhar for their match on Sunday at Clash in Italy,
40:13
Speaker 1: and he spoke some Spanish to the fans in Barcelona
40:15
Speaker 1: before Gunther's music interrupted and he made his way down
40:19
Speaker 1: to the ring and his dress shirt. Very casual, casual
40:22
Speaker 1: Friday here for Gunther. So. Gunther said that he's still
40:26
Speaker 1: pretty new to SmackDown, but there's one thing that he
40:28
Speaker 1: has figured out pretty quickly, which is that everything has
40:31
Speaker 1: to be about Cody, and if it's not, he'll find
40:34
Speaker 1: a way to make it about himself. He said, how
40:37
Speaker 1: fitting that he's the American nightmare, since Cody is the
40:40
Speaker 1: perfect symbol of the crumbling American dream. You know, as
40:43
Speaker 1: he was talking about this, like in that accent. As
40:47
Speaker 1: he was talking, if you close your eyes, you would
40:49
Speaker 1: swear you were listening to Ludwig Borga. This was like
40:53
Speaker 1: for like five seconds there this this felt like it
40:56
Speaker 1: turned into a Ludwig Borga promo. A typical American you
41:00
Speaker 1: live in garbage in fifth I don't know what accent,
41:03
Speaker 1: it's not a finish accent. But yeah, so we got
41:06
Speaker 1: a little borge here from Gunther And he said, as
41:11
Speaker 1: a young boy, I was taught that if you want
41:14
Speaker 1: to get ahead, you have to leave and go to America.
41:17
Speaker 1: And he's done that. He's earned the position that he's in.
41:20
Speaker 1: Whereas with Cody, everything was just one phone call away.
41:23
Speaker 1: He wanted to train to become a pro wrestler, one
41:27
Speaker 1: phone call, he wanted a contract with WWE. One phone call.
41:32
Speaker 1: He left and wanted to come back to WWE. Probably
41:35
Speaker 1: just took one phone call, which makes him an entitled
41:39
Speaker 1: brat because the two of them are nothing alike. Cody
41:43
Speaker 1: can't help himself. He's got to he's got to be
41:46
Speaker 1: the center of attention. He said that he's got to
41:50
Speaker 1: fuel that ego with the fans approval and the offices
41:53
Speaker 1: approval and the you know, everybody has to just sort
41:59
Speaker 1: of bow down to the goal. As Sammy's Ain has
42:01
Speaker 1: been saying, Sammy's Ain's been calling Cody the Golden Boy.
42:04
Speaker 1: Everyone's picking on Cody in these promos. They're calling him conceited,
42:07
Speaker 1: he's full of himself. If that were true, then why
42:10
Speaker 1: is Cody not a heel? If you sew up his
42:13
Speaker 1: own ass. All the heels seem to be aligned in
42:16
Speaker 1: one thing. That Cody is just Cody Roads is the
42:20
Speaker 1: biggest Cody Rhodes fan, which is what Gunther said here
42:22
Speaker 1: in this promo. He said that all of that doesn't
42:27
Speaker 1: matter to him. What matters and by the way, the
42:29
Speaker 1: fans were clapping for him as he was saying this.
42:33
Speaker 1: He said, all of that stuff doesn't matter to me.
42:35
Speaker 1: You know what matters to me being the best pro
42:38
Speaker 1: wrestler in the company and protecting this sacred sport from
42:41
Speaker 1: people like you. And he was being cheered for this
42:46
Speaker 1: because the only thing that Cody cares about is Cody Roads.
42:49
Speaker 1: Cody's biggest fan is Cody Rhoads. He goes, you're a
42:53
Speaker 1: mark for yourself. So Cody finally interjected and he had
42:58
Speaker 1: to clarify for the crowd. He goes, for myself, that
43:01
Speaker 1: means a fan. Just for the people out there who
43:03
Speaker 1: don't know what that means, he called Gunther a liar
43:07
Speaker 1: because every kid grows up wanting to be the champion
43:10
Speaker 1: and not wanting the attention, right said the third party appearances,
43:15
Speaker 1: the talk shows the fans singing every single word of
43:18
Speaker 1: your theme song You don't want that. He knows Gunther
43:22
Speaker 1: wants it, because otherwise he'd be talking to a three
43:24
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty pound version of himself right now. At
43:29
Speaker 1: an indie show, he held up the title and he said,
43:32
Speaker 1: this is addictive, and Gunther is just as sick as
43:37
Speaker 1: he is, and it clashed in Italy. Gunther is gonna
43:39
Speaker 1: get this close to finding out all that attention that
43:42
Speaker 1: you desperately seek, but you're gonna find out you're not
43:47
Speaker 1: that good. And then he hit him with his I'm
43:51
Speaker 1: easy to find, hard to beat, which I just every
43:55
Speaker 1: time he says that line, I just cringe a little bit.
43:58
Speaker 1: He's really going all in on that caphrase, I'm easy
44:02
Speaker 1: to find again, it sounds like some sort of like
44:05
Speaker 1: straight to video old Steven Sagal movie from the nineties.
44:11
Speaker 1: He's easy to find, but he's hard to beat rated R.
44:16
Speaker 1: So they hit him with the line. Cody went to
44:18
Speaker 1: go leave, Gunther spun him around. We got the tight
44:20
Speaker 1: shot face to face here with these two nose to nose.
44:25
Speaker 1: Gunther asked him, you think I'm a liar? He promised
44:28
Speaker 1: Bill Goldberg that he would choke him out, and he did,
44:31
Speaker 1: and that got no reaction. I mentioned that because he
44:34
Speaker 1: then said I promised that AJ Styles would get choked out,
44:40
Speaker 1: and he was, and that the people bowed as soon
44:42
Speaker 1: as he mentioned AJ Styles and what he had done
44:44
Speaker 1: to AJ. The people didn't like that very much, and
44:47
Speaker 1: they bowed, and then they booed louder when he said
44:50
Speaker 1: that he promised Cody's big role model and hero, that
44:54
Speaker 1: he would make him tap out, and he did. And
44:57
Speaker 1: now he's promising Cody that on Sunday he's going to
45:00
Speaker 1: choke him out and he's going to drop him like
45:02
Speaker 1: a wet towel. He's going to take his precious prize
45:06
Speaker 1: with him. And Gunther left, and that is how SmackDown closed,
45:11
Speaker 1: with Cody looking very frustrated in the ring, contemplating the
45:14
Speaker 1: words that Gunther just said to him. Gunther making a promise,
45:21
Speaker 1: he makes a guarantee. I think that's meaningful right there,
45:27
Speaker 1: because he's right. Everything he said he was going to do,
45:29
Speaker 1: he's done. Goldberg sena AJ doesn't matter. He's done every
45:34
Speaker 1: single thing he said he was going to do. I
45:36
Speaker 1: think we're getting a title change on Sunday. The fact
45:39
Speaker 1: that they're opening with this match, first match in the
45:42
Speaker 1: first hour on ESPN instead of closing the show with it,
45:47
Speaker 1: I thought about changing my prediction. I'm a little less
45:51
Speaker 1: sure of it now than I was a week ago,
45:53
Speaker 1: but I'm sticking with it. I think if there's a
45:54
Speaker 1: title change, I think it's going to be here. I
45:56
Speaker 1: think we're going to end up with a new WWE champion.
46:00
Speaker 1: Could Sammy Zain get involved, Sure, you know, Could Drew
46:05
Speaker 1: McIntyre get involved. He just wrapped up filming for the
46:09
Speaker 1: new Highlander movie. Sure. I think if Drew was to
46:13
Speaker 1: show up, though, it actually would make more sense for
46:15
Speaker 1: him to get involved in the other title match because
46:18
Speaker 1: the last person that he was beefing with and he
46:19
Speaker 1: lost to at WrestleMania happens to be challenging for the
46:23
Speaker 1: other title in the main event. But could that happen? Sure?
46:27
Speaker 1: Could Randy Orton show up as a surprise and drop
46:30
Speaker 1: both these guys with an RKO and we end up
46:32
Speaker 1: with no winner, Sure, although that would be fucking lame
46:35
Speaker 1: if they did that. So I mean somebody getting involved.
46:38
Speaker 1: If it was going to be anybody, it would be
46:40
Speaker 1: one of those three. Could that happen? Sure? But I
46:44
Speaker 1: still say they give the ESPN audience their first WWE
46:48
Speaker 1: title change, and maybe that factors into it. Maybe the
46:51
Speaker 1: reason they're opening the show with it is because they
46:53
Speaker 1: want to do a title change on ESPN and kind
46:55
Speaker 1: of make news and make headlines. I wouldn't discount that
46:58
Speaker 1: as a possibility. I thought that it was an effective
47:01
Speaker 1: go home segment, not an effective go home show. It
47:05
Speaker 1: was an effective closing segment for Cody and Gunther. Instead
47:09
Speaker 1: of having your prototypical pull apart brawl, which is so
47:12
Speaker 1: fucking played out, they went, you know, the dueling promo
47:16
Speaker 1: route with it, and I thought it was good. You know,
47:18
Speaker 1: I thought the back and forth between them was good.
47:21
Speaker 1: Not a very effective show. Otherwise, the Ria in Jade
47:24
Speaker 1: stuff just isn't very It just isn't very exciting. All
47:27
Speaker 1: the other matches in the card on Sunday are raw matches,
47:31
Speaker 1: two of which are now in jeopardy because of potential injuries.
47:36
Speaker 1: But outside of the ending, I mean, we did get
47:37
Speaker 1: a couple of solid matches out of things. Not much
47:41
Speaker 1: else to write home about. It was pretty much. Outside
47:43
Speaker 1: of the Barcelona crowd, which was very live and active
47:48
Speaker 1: for the show, it was your prototypical SmackDown, you know,
47:52
Speaker 1: where you just kind of struggle to get through the
47:54
Speaker 1: three hours. You're basically watching a two hour show that
47:59
Speaker 1: is stretched out to three hours, that is not very
48:02
Speaker 1: interesting at all, and you kind of cherry pick maybe
48:05
Speaker 1: a couple of things that you like, and you struggle
48:08
Speaker 1: to find anything beyond that. That was SmackDown from Barcelona.
48:14
Speaker 1: That was the show. Now I mentioned Clash in Italy.
48:18
Speaker 1: Clash in Italy is coming up on Sunday. Just to
48:22
Speaker 1: keep you guys updated on the weekend plans here, I'm
48:25
Speaker 1: going to be dropping a brand new episode of the
48:27
Speaker 1: Sound of episode nine sixty five that's going to be
48:30
Speaker 1: dropping tomorrow, not Sunday, later in the day tomorrow, because
48:33
Speaker 1: on Sunday we have this show right here, and that's
48:37
Speaker 1: at two o'clock in the afternoon. I'll be live with
48:40
Speaker 1: the Clash in Italy review, probably the same time I
48:44
Speaker 1: went live tonight, so I won't be live immediately after.
48:47
Speaker 1: I'll do dinner first and then get ready in about
48:50
Speaker 1: eight pm Eastern figures when I will be live on
48:54
Speaker 1: YouTube for the Clash in Italy review. So hopefully you
48:57
Speaker 1: guys well join me. Then you technically get two podcasts
49:01
Speaker 1: this weekend. There you go, and we'll see what changes
49:04
Speaker 1: may end up having to be made to the car.
49:06
Speaker 1: Hopefully sol Ruka is not legitimately injured. Hopefully Jacob Fatu's injury,
49:10
Speaker 1: which is legitimate and it is said to be a
49:13
Speaker 1: back injury, is not so serious that he's not able
49:16
Speaker 1: to go. It could affect the match. It could affect
49:18
Speaker 1: what he is and is not able to do in
49:20
Speaker 1: the match. Maybe they're making contingency plans for that, Maybe
49:24
Speaker 1: the Ussols will be involved in some way. I don't know,
49:27
Speaker 1: but hopefully he's good to go. I mean, this is
49:29
Speaker 1: a big spot for Jacob to be in. I don't
49:31
Speaker 1: think he's winning the title, but there's a possibility he might.
49:34
Speaker 1: And it would really suck if they're planning on a
49:36
Speaker 1: title change and that goes out the window now because
49:39
Speaker 1: the guy's hurt. I don't want to see that happen.
49:42
Speaker 1: So hopefully he ends up being okay. Solo going live
49:48
Speaker 1: during the Champions League Final, no one cares about that.
49:52
Speaker 1: I mean, come on, man, they care about my clash
49:54
Speaker 1: in Italy Review. What are you crazy? Solo just ran
50:02
Speaker 1: through the whole show in an hour and we still
50:04
Speaker 1: have two more hours of SmackDown. Well, that doesn't tell you.
50:08
Speaker 1: I mean, does that not say at all that I
50:11
Speaker 1: was able to fucking ZiT through this review in fifty
50:13
Speaker 1: seven minutes, And all you suckers that are watching the
50:16
Speaker 1: show right now have two more hours of this shit
50:18
Speaker 1: to sit through. I tell you, every single week, that's
50:21
Speaker 1: what SmackDown is the fact we're in the commercials and everything.
50:25
Speaker 1: They're just killing time. You're watching a show that as
50:28
Speaker 1: you're watching it, it just feels like they're trying to
50:31
Speaker 1: kill time. That makes for a very boring television show.
50:39
Speaker 1: You got some good wrestling on there, though, You at
50:42
Speaker 1: least got a couple of good matches out of it,
50:44
Speaker 1: so it wasn't a total loss. Will I be doing
50:49
Speaker 1: an Italian accent for the Clash in Italy review? No,
50:54
Speaker 1: I will not. I will not. I will not have
50:57
Speaker 1: my big bowl of pasta sitting here as I'm doing
51:00
Speaker 1: the review right Put the noodles around the fork, eat
51:05
Speaker 1: my uh, eat my pasta dish as i do the review.
51:10
Speaker 1: That will not be That will not be happenings. Get
51:12
Speaker 1: to your super chats. Oh man, where are they? There?
51:17
Speaker 1: They are there? They are yeah yeah, And Noobi says,
51:24
Speaker 1: it's literally an hour of actual content and the rest
51:27
Speaker 1: is filler and ads that's basically SmackDown. And people think
51:31
Speaker 1: I'm crazy, like, oh, how can you say that the
51:34
Speaker 1: show needs to be two hours? Then people won't be
51:37
Speaker 1: able to get airtime on the show. You're gonna you're
51:40
Speaker 1: gonna kill the mid card because the show needs to
51:42
Speaker 1: be three hours. And I just I weep. I weep
51:46
Speaker 1: every time I hear that, because it's just it's people
51:49
Speaker 1: who I think, by and large grew up on the
51:53
Speaker 1: WWE product over the last decade, believing that three hours
51:59
Speaker 1: of raw is the norm and the show can't be
52:02
Speaker 1: any less than that. Three hours of SmackDown is the norm.
52:05
Speaker 1: The show can't be any less than that. And it's said,
52:08
Speaker 1: you know, they don't it just the thought doesn't really
52:12
Speaker 1: occur to them that you can have a coherent, good
52:17
Speaker 1: wrestling program with the right creative of course, even at
52:21
Speaker 1: two hours. And I understand the roster maybe a little
52:24
Speaker 1: bit bigger than it used to be, but it's still
52:26
Speaker 1: a roster split kind of. I mean, they divide it
52:29
Speaker 1: into Rawn's SmackDown, so the roster is bigger, but it
52:32
Speaker 1: ain't that much bigger. Let's be honest, No weekly wrestling
52:40
Speaker 1: show needs to be three hours outside of like the
52:43
Speaker 1: Odds special. That's how it used to be. When Raw
52:45
Speaker 1: would go three hours, it was for like a special event.
52:47
Speaker 1: They used to have King of the Ring on Raw,
52:49
Speaker 1: so it would be a three hour special, or Raw
52:52
Speaker 1: Roulette it would be a three hour show. Okay, fine,
52:56
Speaker 1: But once it became a weekly thing, I mean that
52:58
Speaker 1: just killed it. Matt just killed it. Joseph Stewart is
53:07
Speaker 1: with us. Joseph Stewart is celebrating his Italian roots. It's
53:12
Speaker 1: his happy Friday Sola Monster. Do you think Casino has
53:15
Speaker 1: one of the best movie opening credits? H Yeah, it's
53:19
Speaker 1: pretty cool. It's one of my favorite movies actually, but
53:23
Speaker 1: I can't put it above Goodfellas. If you forced me
53:26
Speaker 1: to like rank Goodfellas and Casino, I I gotta give
53:30
Speaker 1: the edge to Goodfellas. Did you know Christopher from Sopranos
53:34
Speaker 1: was in Goodfellas? He was the guy that got his
53:36
Speaker 1: foot shot by Joe PESHI I didn know that. Michael
53:39
Speaker 1: IMPERIALI were you a fan of Frank Vincent, who played
53:46
Speaker 1: Phillyotado on The Sopranos. He was in Raging Bull, Goodfellas,
53:49
Speaker 1: Casino and compland Copland is one that I never saw.
53:52
Speaker 1: I really need to see that. I heard Stallone's really
53:55
Speaker 1: good in that he put on like fifty pounds for it,
53:57
Speaker 1: didn't he Yes, I'm a big fan of Frank Benson.
54:01
Speaker 1: Philliotaro man twenty fucking years that guy did. Yeah, just
54:10
Speaker 1: into a tissue. I believe eight grilled cheese off the Radiator,
54:15
Speaker 1: That's what he said. Would you like to see a
54:20
Speaker 1: Soprano prequel show with Michael Gandolfini as young? I think
54:23
Speaker 1: we need to just put the Sopranos to bed. I
54:27
Speaker 1: would have been down for some sort of sequel, you know,
54:32
Speaker 1: if James Gandolfini was still alive, even though even though
54:38
Speaker 1: you know it would be kind of impossible because we
54:40
Speaker 1: all know what really happened at the end of the finale.
54:43
Speaker 1: But with him gone, it's just, you know, my appetite
54:46
Speaker 1: for anything new, like Sopranos related basically died. He was
54:50
Speaker 1: the show without him. There is no Sopranos prequel or otherwise.
54:54
Speaker 1: I don't really have an interest in that. It says
54:58
Speaker 1: a Happy Birthday to LaToya Jackson. Interesting and too Anette
55:04
Speaker 1: Benning buy or sell Johnny Boyce soprano or junior soprano junior.
55:08
Speaker 1: Of course, Uncle June. Did you know movies like The
55:14
Speaker 1: Public Enemy and Godfather and Goodfellas and A Bronx Tale
55:18
Speaker 1: influenced the soprano. I'm sure a lot of those things
55:22
Speaker 1: influenced the Sopranos. I'm not surprised by that at all.
55:29
Speaker 1: That does not surprise me in the least. That guy
55:38
Speaker 1: was an interior decorator. His house looked like shit so great.
55:44
Speaker 1: Do you remember the store media Play from the nineteen nineties.
55:47
Speaker 1: It sold movies, music, and books media play, No, they didn't.
55:54
Speaker 1: I don't know if they had them in New York.
55:56
Speaker 1: I'd never heard of media play before. No, I can't
56:02
Speaker 1: say that I know of it. If you were asked
56:04
Speaker 1: to do a Sopranos prequel TV show, how would you
56:07
Speaker 1: have written Tony Sopranos Rise. I wouldn't have That's not
56:11
Speaker 1: my job. I leave that to the television writers to
56:14
Speaker 1: do that. I don't know. I honestly don't know. Next
56:19
Speaker 1: week Masters of the Universe comes out at theaters. Yes,
56:22
Speaker 1: I don't know what I'm gonna be able to see it,
56:23
Speaker 1: probably not next week, but I do want to see it,
56:29
Speaker 1: he says. In the month of June, Papa John's is
56:31
Speaker 1: going to turn into Peteza Planet in celebration for Toy
56:36
Speaker 1: Story five. That's pretty cool. Favorite Toy Story characters. I'm
56:48
Speaker 1: all about Buzz light Year, Buzz is my guy, and
56:53
Speaker 1: mister potato Head, Buzz and mister potato Head. Yeah, I'm hearing.
57:02
Speaker 1: The tracking for Toy Story five is it could do
57:06
Speaker 1: up to one hundred and fifty million dollars domestically in
57:09
Speaker 1: its opening weekend, which would be far more than any
57:13
Speaker 1: of the other movies have done. I'm trying to, like
57:17
Speaker 1: think of another movie franchise that has gone on as
57:21
Speaker 1: long as Toy Story that each new one that came
57:24
Speaker 1: out did progressively better business than the one that came
57:28
Speaker 1: before it. That's like unheard of. It just does. It's
57:31
Speaker 1: not supposed to happen that way. At this rate, We're
57:35
Speaker 1: gonna go all the way to Toy Story ten or
57:37
Speaker 1: fifteen if it keeps doing numbers like this. Am I
57:43
Speaker 1: going to see Toy Story five? Yes? I will. I
57:47
Speaker 1: saw the first four. Ye know, there were people in
57:49
Speaker 1: the theater. I wasn't one of them, but there were
57:51
Speaker 1: people in the theater who were fucking weeping during Toy
57:54
Speaker 1: Story four like it tugs at the heartstrings. Man, When
58:00
Speaker 1: you can get a cartoon to make you cry during
58:05
Speaker 1: a movie, you're doing something right. I can imagine all
58:12
Speaker 1: the people in the theater back in the day that
58:13
Speaker 1: were weeping when Bambie's mom got shot, or during during
58:18
Speaker 1: The Lion King when Simba's father was killed. Have you
58:28
Speaker 1: seen the Kurt Russell movie Big Trouble in the Little China? Yes?
58:31
Speaker 1: I have. Have you seen the New Masters of the
58:35
Speaker 1: Universe movie posters? I have not? Did you know Robert
58:38
Speaker 1: de Niro directed the movie that he started in a
58:41
Speaker 1: Bronx Tale? That I did know? Also, Gandalfeini won three
58:50
Speaker 1: Emmy Awards and a bunch of screen out He won
58:54
Speaker 1: a lot of awards for Tony Soprano. It was the
58:57
Speaker 1: role of a lifetime that he had. He was fucking great.
59:01
Speaker 1: That I know. Larry Hagman was a big fan of
59:03
Speaker 1: the sopri How do you know this? How do you
59:05
Speaker 1: know this? How do you have all of this knowledge?
59:09
Speaker 1: How do you know that Larry Hagman was a big
59:11
Speaker 1: Tony Soprano fan? Uh? The buyer cell here I already
59:16
Speaker 1: answered that one. The answer is good fellows Man Joseph
59:23
Speaker 1: bringing the heat here man buy or sell pulp fiction

1:00:04
Speaker 1: hope you're feeling better. Thank you, Nico, I appreciate that
1:00:07
Speaker 1: I am not, but slowly but surely we're getting there.
1:00:16
Speaker 1: We got a message here from Nico who says, is
1:00:19
Speaker 1: there a city or country that you would like to
1:00:22
Speaker 1: go for vacation and how long would you stay there for? Yes,
1:00:30
Speaker 1: I'm sure there is something out there that I would
1:00:33
Speaker 1: You know, some trip I would love to take. I
1:00:35
Speaker 1: don't know exactly where that is going to end up
1:00:37
Speaker 1: being though, I haven't figured that out yet. How long
1:00:39
Speaker 1: would I I'd love to move there. I'd love to
1:00:43
Speaker 1: go there and never come back. I keep hearing nice
1:00:47
Speaker 1: things about like Greece. I've never been to Europe so
1:00:52
Speaker 1: but like Greece, I've heard good things about Greece. I've
1:00:55
Speaker 1: heard good things about like Switzerland, Sweden, someplace like that. Tokyo, Tokyo. Yeah,
1:01:07
Speaker 1: Tokyo Tokyo is one of those places like Japan is
1:01:10
Speaker 1: on my bucket list. I don't know that I'll ever
1:01:12
Speaker 1: make it there that the thought of a fifteen hour
1:01:14
Speaker 1: flight makes me want to vomit, but I would love to.
1:01:18
Speaker 1: I would love to one day go there. Is there
1:01:27
Speaker 1: a city or country that you would like to see
1:01:29
Speaker 1: House of Glory visit? Well, if House of Glory ever
1:01:37
Speaker 1: goes to Greece or Switzerland, I guess I'll get to
1:01:42
Speaker 1: kill two birds with one stone, now, won't I. Actually
1:01:44
Speaker 1: we're kind of talking about a potential hog show in
1:01:48
Speaker 1: the near future somewhere that I think is pretty cool.
1:01:51
Speaker 1: We'll see if it pans out. I was talking to
1:01:55
Speaker 1: Brian about it last week. Well, we'll see if it
1:01:57
Speaker 1: pans I don't want to put the cart before the horse,
1:01:59
Speaker 1: but I think a lot of people would be very
1:02:00
Speaker 1: excited if we can make this announcement. Do you have
1:02:03
Speaker 1: a favorite Jean wu movie? Uh? No, here he has
1:02:09
Speaker 1: a pretty mean dropkick though. Barry MK four hundred. With
1:02:17
Speaker 1: the news of WWE being shocked at how well the
1:02:20
Speaker 1: vault on YouTube is doing, can that be a good
1:02:22
Speaker 1: sign of them posting more old shows, you would fucking think.
1:02:25
Speaker 1: So they take their sweet time, that's the hope. But
1:02:32
Speaker 1: I don't think they were in any rush to really
1:02:34
Speaker 1: put everything out. I think they just love the whole
1:02:36
Speaker 1: slow roll strategy. Otherwise they're just gonna run out of
1:02:40
Speaker 1: things to post. This way, they could just post like
1:02:44
Speaker 1: infinitely for years and never run out of stuff to post.
1:02:52
Speaker 1: Nico says, teams sleep and how is back Rooms? Well,
1:02:58
Speaker 1: I have a very short review you on my letterbox
1:03:01
Speaker 1: account if you go follow me on there. But I
1:03:03
Speaker 1: enjoyed it. It was not as good as Obsession. I
1:03:07
Speaker 1: feel like Obsession has sort of ruined all movies for
1:03:10
Speaker 1: me now for the next few months. I just feel
1:03:13
Speaker 1: like there's not gonna be one that's gonna be as
1:03:15
Speaker 1: good as that one. It was good, though, he was good.
1:03:21
Speaker 1: I'm in that three and a half to four star
1:03:23
Speaker 1: range for backwards. Obsession gets the full five though from me.
1:03:33
Speaker 1: JM says, if Jacob can't go on Sunday, have Bron
1:03:36
Speaker 1: replace him. He can't do that, though you can't just
1:03:41
Speaker 1: you know what purpose would that serve? Just sticking a
1:03:45
Speaker 1: random person and you may as well have an open
1:03:47
Speaker 1: challenge at that point as if we need more of those.
1:03:55
Speaker 1: Mister a j all day again with that fifty dollars
1:03:58
Speaker 1: gun Thar bomb A. I salute you, sir, Thank you
1:04:03
Speaker 1: very much. John Sterneker Top females on the Mic give
1:04:11
Speaker 1: me Stephanie McMahon trying to think like today in the
1:04:16
Speaker 1: modern day. I think Tekla would be pretty high up
1:04:20
Speaker 1: on that list. I like a good Tekla promo in WWE. Though,
1:04:26
Speaker 1: when it comes to the women on the Mic Live
1:04:30
Speaker 1: Morgan Live, Morgan is pretty good on the Mic. Ye,
1:04:36
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's a pretty thin list right now.
1:04:40
Speaker 1: I gotta say. This week's episode is sponsored by wis.
1:04:45
Speaker 1: Have you ever heard of vibe coding before, because I
1:04:48
Speaker 1: hadn't until recently. But it's exactly as it sounds. You're
1:04:51
Speaker 1: looking for a certain vibe and you code your website
1:04:54
Speaker 1: to fit that vibe. You can picture it in your
1:04:56
Speaker 1: head exactly what you want it to look like and
1:04:59
Speaker 1: then make it a reality. And the way you do
1:05:01
Speaker 1: that is with Wix's new Harmony Editor. It's pretty amazing.
1:05:05
Speaker 1: All you do is type in what it is that
1:05:07
Speaker 1: you want, and through the power of AI, you'll get
1:05:09
Speaker 1: a website that mirrors exactly what you're looking for and
1:05:13
Speaker 1: works right out of the gate. But wix Harmony doesn't
1:05:16
Speaker 1: force you to use AI for everything. You can still
1:05:18
Speaker 1: click and change whatever you want all on your own,
1:05:22
Speaker 1: or click on something and then ask Aria, your own
1:05:25
Speaker 1: personal AI agent, to change it for you. It also
1:05:28
Speaker 1: solves the very annoying problem of having to prompt AI
1:05:31
Speaker 1: over and over again, even for the smallest changes. This
1:05:34
Speaker 1: is much more efficient and it saves you a lot
1:05:37
Speaker 1: of time and aggravation. So do yourself a favor, save
1:05:41
Speaker 1: yourself the stress and join the millions of businesses that
1:05:44
Speaker 1: already use Wix for their website needs. Try wix Harmony

1:05:57
Speaker 1: What happens to the Cody Randy feud? If Gunther wins?
1:06:01
Speaker 1: What is all the sammy stuff leading to it? Seems
1:06:04
Speaker 1: like they don't even know? Seems like a mess to me.
1:06:07
Speaker 1: I mean, Cody and Randy could pick up their feud
1:06:09
Speaker 1: at some point with no title on the line. It
1:06:13
Speaker 1: just becomes personal between the two of them. I mean,
1:06:16
Speaker 1: it's a few that doesn't necessarily need the championship. Venom Caitetsu,
1:06:25
Speaker 1: thank you for the twenty five bremode. Hope that's a
1:06:30
Speaker 1: hot Toddy in the muggs and I wish, I wish,

1:07:07
Speaker 1: equals one hundred dollars on the night. Thank you, brother,
1:07:12
Speaker 1: much appreciated. Venom Catetsu again with the twelve. You should
1:07:16
Speaker 1: walk out to across one hundred tenth Street at an
1:07:21
Speaker 1: Hog show one of these days. Also, maybe bring Hog
1:07:23
Speaker 1: to Reno Nevadas Day got to be cheaper arrangement than
1:07:26
Speaker 1: Vegas at this point. I feel like it's got to
1:07:31
Speaker 1: be someplace that, you know, wrestling fans can easily access,
1:07:35
Speaker 1: or it's a hotbed for wrestling. I don't know Reno
1:07:37
Speaker 1: would qualify, can't rule it out. There's a lot of
1:07:42
Speaker 1: different locations that are on the table. I mean there's
1:07:46
Speaker 1: probably five of them, right now we're just trying to
1:07:49
Speaker 1: figure out the calendar. There's one city in particular that
1:07:52
Speaker 1: a lot of people are always bringing up. I assure
1:07:54
Speaker 1: you it is on the list. I don't know when
1:07:56
Speaker 1: it's going to happen. It is on the list, though
1:08:01
Speaker 1: some of you can figure it out because I get
1:08:03
Speaker 1: a lot of messages about it, and actually that is
1:08:08
Speaker 1: a city rich in wrestling history. We'll be there, We'll
1:08:12
Speaker 1: be there someday. Alexander says, it's a crime that Ilia
1:08:15
Speaker 1: Dragon of is m I a not true. I saw
1:08:19
Speaker 1: the latest photo that Natty posted from one of her
1:08:23
Speaker 1: dungeon training sessions, and there he was. He's been a
1:08:26
Speaker 1: bunch of them recently, him and him and his girlfriend.
1:08:31
Speaker 1: She's also a wrestler. I forgot her name. Give me backshot,
1:08:36
Speaker 1: Sola Monster no dollar ninety nine. If Nicks win the finals,
1:08:40
Speaker 1: will you let me hug you? No? No, But we
1:08:45
Speaker 1: could do like a kind of like a virtual high
1:08:47
Speaker 1: five kind of thing. I'll just make sure I'm wearing
1:08:50
Speaker 1: a glove. We could do We could do that. How's that?
1:09:00
Speaker 1: Uh Sean Dee? But for real, who is gunther to
1:09:03
Speaker 1: say this? He loses less than Raheem gun Through's booking
1:09:08
Speaker 1: is even more preferential. I get some don't like Cody,
1:09:11
Speaker 1: but come on, I don't think it's about the booking.
1:09:14
Speaker 1: I think it's about the character. Like you're talking about.
1:09:16
Speaker 1: What he was saying is promo tonight. He was talking
1:09:20
Speaker 1: about how he's all about the pro wrestling. He's all
1:09:22
Speaker 1: about the mat. The mat is sacred to him, has
1:09:24
Speaker 1: nothing to do with his push or how many matches
1:09:26
Speaker 1: he wins or loses. Do you remember the Wrestle Rock Rumble?
1:09:35
Speaker 1: Not only do I remember the Wrestle Rock Rumble. I'll
1:09:38
Speaker 1: tell you a little story. I went to go lay
1:09:41
Speaker 1: down the other night to go to bed, and I
1:09:43
Speaker 1: put on the YouTube app on my TV because I
1:09:46
Speaker 1: wanted to see if there were any marathons watch parties
1:09:49
Speaker 1: going on on the WWE Vault channel, and they have
1:09:51
Speaker 1: one that I believe is still active right now. It's
1:09:54
Speaker 1: like an All Eighties. I was like, oh, I was
1:09:56
Speaker 1: in heaven the All eighties like watch party, and so
1:10:01
Speaker 1: I put it on and it really is just a
1:10:03
Speaker 1: complete mishmash of not just WWE ninety or eighty stuff,
1:10:08
Speaker 1: but just all wrestling. I lay down, half asleep, and
1:10:14
Speaker 1: what happens to be on or actually just going on.
1:10:18
Speaker 1: In this marathon the Wrestle Rock Rumble music video, I
1:10:25
Speaker 1: felt like I was in the middle of a fever dream.
1:10:30
Speaker 1: They show Kurt Hennig and Scott Hall and their little
1:10:33
Speaker 1: Speedo's coming up out of the pool. They show Sean
1:10:35
Speaker 1: Michaels and Marty Jeannetti in the studio laying down some beats,
1:10:40
Speaker 1: all these other people that are trying to sing and
1:10:44
Speaker 1: they're completely off key. Fucking Greg Ganya, It's just fucking awful, dude.
1:10:50
Speaker 1: It's so awful, but you can't look away. It's one
1:10:54
Speaker 1: of those so bad it's good kind of things. Dried
1:11:02
Speaker 1: Chicken says, I would send Triple H and WWE Creative
1:11:05
Speaker 1: some Italian bread and chicken Alfredo meet Lasagna in some
1:11:09
Speaker 1: special sauce to clean their insides. Praise the Lord that
1:11:12
Speaker 1: Vince McMahon is not around. It was if he was
1:11:16
Speaker 1: promoting Clash in Italy, he would definitely. I guess that
1:11:21
Speaker 1: means have a picture of himself with the Pope. Yeah,
1:11:28
Speaker 1: I mean, we don't need to talk about Vince wmickman
1:11:30
Speaker 1: less said about him the better and super Pony Cody
1:11:34
Speaker 1: Randy kind of does need the title. That's why Randy
1:11:36
Speaker 1: turned on him. Why would he continue to go after
1:11:38
Speaker 1: Cody without the title because he doesn't like Cody and
1:11:42
Speaker 1: Cody doesn't like it. It doesn't need the title, dude,
1:11:44
Speaker 1: Like it's yes, it works better with the title. It
1:11:47
Speaker 1: does not need the title. You can do it without
1:11:49
Speaker 1: the title. It's fine. It's perfectly fine. If they want
1:11:52
Speaker 1: to take the title off Cody, put it on Gunther
1:11:54
Speaker 1: and have him feud with somebody else and get Cody
1:11:56
Speaker 1: out of the title picture for six months. I ain't
1:11:58
Speaker 1: gonna fucking argue it. And it doesn't mean that you
1:12:00
Speaker 1: can't do Cody and Randy. Randy could be like, all right,
1:12:03
Speaker 1: you know, I gotta wrap this up and then I'm
1:12:05
Speaker 1: going after the belt and Cody's like, no, I'm going
1:12:07
Speaker 1: after the belt. It could be a feud over who
1:12:09
Speaker 1: gets to go after the belt next. That could be
1:12:12
Speaker 1: the connection to the belt. But it does not need
1:12:15
Speaker 1: the championship. It might work better that way, but I disagree.
1:12:20
Speaker 1: It does not need the championship. If I had a
1:12:26
Speaker 1: chance to talk about the new shareholder lawsuit developments, I
1:12:29
Speaker 1: will on the sound off tomorrow, so if you tune in,
1:12:32
Speaker 1: you'll hear me talking about that. Some big developments on
1:12:38
Speaker 1: that front. Now, the likes goal per the wheel was,
1:12:47
Speaker 1: as you could see here, five hundred and we are
1:12:50
Speaker 1: currently four point fifty. However, the bonus goal counter is
1:12:57
Speaker 1: clearly broken, and I don't know if we've hit it
1:13:00
Speaker 1: or not. I feel like we might have, but because
1:13:02
Speaker 1: it's broken and I can't tell, you're gonna get be
1:13:06
Speaker 1: the Booker anyway. YouTube is broken and that's not the
1:13:11
Speaker 1: accurate number of super chats reflected. So I have no
1:13:14
Speaker 1: fucking idea. So we're going to do be the Booker
1:13:16
Speaker 1: any wee. You could thank YouTube and it's broken. System
1:13:18
Speaker 1: here you're getting a free round to be the Booker.
1:13:21
Speaker 1: So here we go, and apparently we get no music
1:13:27
Speaker 1: until I turn it on. It's now time to be
1:13:30
Speaker 1: the booker. Oh me, oh me, Green Pianists, you'll be
1:13:40
Speaker 1: tuning in on Saturday Tomorrow, Saturday, the sounduff is out
1:13:43
Speaker 1: a day early because this plee is fucking up my
1:13:47
Speaker 1: schedule on Sunday, hopefully not too late. Unfortunately, it means
1:13:52
Speaker 1: I'm not going to be able to talk about the
1:13:54
Speaker 1: Triple A show. So I am going to watch the
1:13:56
Speaker 1: Triple A Show, or at least the main event, the
1:13:57
Speaker 1: big Mask versus Mask match tomorrow. It's a El Grande
1:14:01
Speaker 1: Americano Uno against El Grande Americano Dos. But I'm sure
1:14:07
Speaker 1: the SoundOff will be out before then, so I don't know.
1:14:11
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe I'll chime in. I'll talk about it on
1:14:13
Speaker 1: the Uncrowned Wrestling Show on Tuesday. How about that? All right?
1:14:18
Speaker 1: Here we go tag team be the booker. We have
1:14:20
Speaker 1: the APA for Rooke and Bradshaw. These guys don't fuck around,
1:14:29
Speaker 1: no sir. They are going to be taking on Brett
1:14:34
Speaker 1: and Owen hart Man. I don't know if Brett's a
1:14:40
Speaker 1: big fan of JBL. It's not a fan of guys
1:14:42
Speaker 1: that go in there and intentionally hurt other people. It's
1:14:45
Speaker 1: not where wrestling is supposed to be. Still my all
1:14:51
Speaker 1: time favorite story, though, is Joey Styles just punching the
1:14:55
Speaker 1: fucking crap out of JBL Overseas on one of the
1:14:58
Speaker 1: Middle East tours. Ah. It's one of the great all
1:15:01
Speaker 1: time wrestling stories. Joey Styles had enough of his shit
1:15:06
Speaker 1: and he punched the bully right in his fucking face.
1:15:09
Speaker 1: That's so great. I love it. I love a good
1:15:12
Speaker 1: story with a happy ending. Women's be the booker. Yeah,
1:15:19
Speaker 1: we had the question before of great female wrestling promos.
1:15:25
Speaker 1: Let's see, I think we're gonna land on two really good,
1:15:29
Speaker 1: great promo women here tonight. Let's see what kind of
1:15:34
Speaker 1: promos we're gonna get. Well, naturally, I would say that,
1:15:44
Speaker 1: and we would land on the one woman who probably
1:15:46
Speaker 1: isn't all of the be the booker options who doesn't
1:15:49
Speaker 1: fucking speak. Kind of hard to cut a promo when
1:15:53
Speaker 1: you don't talk. We have Nikki Cross from the Wyat six.
1:15:57
Speaker 1: She doesn't speak. How is she going to cut promos
1:16:00
Speaker 1: if she does not speak? She doesn't wrestle either. Now
1:16:06
Speaker 1: she's a wonderful promo. She's also, by the way, now
1:16:09
Speaker 1: one of the owners of Progress Wrestling. That's another story.
1:16:13
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna be talking about on the sound off tomorrow. Well,
1:16:18
Speaker 1: we know she won't be cutting the promos. Maybe her
1:16:21
Speaker 1: opponent will, Julia Hart. That is a terrible, horrendous promo
1:16:36
Speaker 1: battle between those two terrible. We have to do better
1:16:48
Speaker 1: in this main event. We need some We need a
1:16:50
Speaker 1: couple of really good promo Let's pretend the main event
1:16:52
Speaker 1: tonight is going to be a promo battle. Let's do that.
1:17:00
Speaker 1: Let's do that and while I do that, because we're
1:17:03
Speaker 1: at four seventy four, you guys are inching your way
1:17:06
Speaker 1: closer to the likes skull. We may get another round
1:17:08
Speaker 1: to be the booker if you get that up high enough.
1:17:10
Speaker 1: But let's pretend that this main event is a promo battle. Okay,
1:17:15
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be spitting fire on the mic here. Oh well,
1:17:19
Speaker 1: I mean, come on, now, this match is over. This
1:17:23
Speaker 1: match is fucking over right now? Are you kidding me?
1:17:26
Speaker 1: One of the great talkers of all time, The Rock?
1:17:33
Speaker 1: The Rock? I feel bad for his opponent. Man, how
1:17:38
Speaker 1: are you gonna beat that? How are you gonna beat
1:17:41
Speaker 1: that in a promo battle? Oh? Yeah, I mean it's over,
1:17:50
Speaker 1: It's over. That actually be a great match, But I
1:17:54
Speaker 1: mean this is a no contest here, Are you kidding me?
1:17:56
Speaker 1: Pack Pack is a promo packs? Another one like an
1:18:01
Speaker 1: aw right now, with his current character, he doesn't speak.
1:18:04
Speaker 1: He just kind of stares very intensely at you. He
1:18:07
Speaker 1: judges you, but he rarely speaks. Be a good I
1:18:13
Speaker 1: think it would be a good wrestling match. Though, I
1:18:16
Speaker 1: do think that would make for a good match. Let's
1:18:21
Speaker 1: see what other super chats do we have? He as
1:18:28
Speaker 1: asu Amy Oscar built her own private gaming center at
1:18:32
Speaker 1: home in Japan. It's literally like a house for arcade games.
1:18:35
Speaker 1: Probably why she wanted to go home. I saw the video.
1:18:39
Speaker 1: Those are some big arcades too. You know what really
1:18:41
Speaker 1: has me jealous. One of the arcades that she had
1:18:43
Speaker 1: installed in her gaming room is a It's a dual
1:18:47
Speaker 1: machine of Mario Kart two, so you can sit. It's
1:18:53
Speaker 1: like two seats next to each other with steering wheels,
1:18:56
Speaker 1: and you can play Mario Kart arcade style. How cool
1:18:59
Speaker 1: is that? You play again somebody else, Super Pony, I
1:19:06
Speaker 1: need double be the booker totally not stalling well, I
1:19:09
Speaker 1: mean five hundred was the goal and we're at four
1:19:13
Speaker 1: eighty five, so we're not there yet. Dev To Dust
1:19:17
Speaker 1: the Jets are going to win the Super Bowl? Sure, sure,
1:19:24
Speaker 1: dev to dust with the two dollars, super Chet. How
1:19:26
Speaker 1: much angel dust has dev to Dust inhaled during the
1:19:30
Speaker 1: stream to come up with that super chat? A little
1:19:36
Speaker 1: too much Pixie dust tonight, my friend, Super Pony, the
1:19:43
Speaker 1: Cults are going to win the Super Bowl. And oh
1:19:50
Speaker 1: Joseph is back. Oh my god, Joseph says, hello, Solo monster.
1:19:55
Speaker 1: I want to let you know that I'm watching a
1:19:57
Speaker 1: Bronx Tale from my Friday Night movie. I kind of
1:20:00
Speaker 1: figured it was going to be one of the one
1:20:03
Speaker 1: of the half dozen movies that you mentioned tonight. See
1:20:07
Speaker 1: he's got the Friday night movie ritual, which I think
1:20:11
Speaker 1: is kind of cool that he's got like a movie night.
1:20:13
Speaker 1: I figured it was going to be some combination of
1:20:15
Speaker 1: either a Bronx Tale, Casino or Goodfellas. It was going
1:20:20
Speaker 1: to be one of those. And he says, have a
1:20:26
Speaker 1: great weekend, and good night, Salomazer, good night, Joseph, thank you. Brother.
1:20:33
Speaker 1: Always sent one before that, though, have you played the
1:20:35
Speaker 1: Sopranos PlayStation two video game? I did not know there
1:20:38
Speaker 1: was even a Sopranos video game. I had no idea
1:20:43
Speaker 1: that they made a video game. Huh. I can't say.
1:20:51
Speaker 1: I don't even know. Maybe somebody else you know, I
1:20:54
Speaker 1: wonder that. No, actually I don't have that PS two,
1:20:57
Speaker 1: he said, right, Eh. I have my retro gaming console,
1:21:00
Speaker 1: the handheld D the MEU Mini Plus, and it's got
1:21:03
Speaker 1: PlayStation games on there. It goes as high as PlayStation
1:21:06
Speaker 1: Otherwise it's all like Atari, Nintendo Genesis thirty two X,
1:21:09
Speaker 1: all that stuff. I don't think it has PS two games. Though,
1:21:14
Speaker 1: damn you know, one of my favorite PlayStation games used
1:21:17
Speaker 1: to be this game called Driver. I used to really
1:21:22
Speaker 1: enjoy Driver. They have a few Law and Order games.
1:21:30
Speaker 1: Where are these video games coming from that? I've never
1:21:32
Speaker 1: heard they made law and order video games? Maybe that
1:21:36
Speaker 1: sounds boring? Though? What do you do in the game, Like, so,
1:21:41
Speaker 1: it's the first half of the game, you're a cop.
1:21:43
Speaker 1: In the second half of the game, you're you're the prosecutor.
1:21:46
Speaker 1: How does that work? Dry checking the rock will not
1:21:52
Speaker 1: show up at Clash in Italy. Instead, he'll enjoy an
1:21:55
Speaker 1: Italian dinner and party at the end. He ain't shown
1:21:58
Speaker 1: up at any of these plas news for you, dev
1:22:01
Speaker 1: to Dust. Have you ever taken the pacer? The Pacer
1:22:05
Speaker 1: test in grade school? I don't know what that is,
1:22:09
Speaker 1: so I guess the answer is no, I have not
1:22:13
Speaker 1: taken the Pacer test? Does that make me a bad student?
1:22:22
Speaker 1: Every popular show during the PS two era had a
1:22:25
Speaker 1: video game? I don't think that's true. I don't believe
1:22:30
Speaker 1: they ever made a Shield video game. And The Shield
1:22:32
Speaker 1: is one of the greatest television shows ever made the
1:22:37
Speaker 1: PS two era, So what era? Trying to think? Like,
1:22:40
Speaker 1: what era would that envelop That means there was a
1:22:48
Speaker 1: Beverly Hills nine O two to one OH game. Was
1:22:51
Speaker 1: there a Melrose Place video game that I was unaware of?
1:22:55
Speaker 1: They probably should have made them too. They probably would
1:22:57
Speaker 1: have made a fucking fortune off those games. Is there
1:23:03
Speaker 1: a Dawson's Creek video game? Oh Man Home Improvement on
1:23:09
Speaker 1: the s where Wilson's face is only like partially, it's
1:23:16
Speaker 1: partially obscured by the picket fence. The goal is to
1:23:19
Speaker 1: get Wilson to completely reveal himself his entire face. Seinfeld
1:23:27
Speaker 1: game would have been hilarious. You know what? That could
1:23:31
Speaker 1: have worked. I think that could have worked. We got
1:23:36
Speaker 1: o to the j eighty four. Since Reno was brought up.
1:23:40
Speaker 1: I saw Hogan defend the WCW title against Brett Hart
1:23:43
Speaker 1: in Reno in nineteen ninety nine at a house show
1:23:46
Speaker 1: before Brett returned to TV after Owen passed. Well, that's
1:23:50
Speaker 1: a rare one. There were a few times they had
1:23:53
Speaker 1: live event matches. I know one of them. There's definitely
1:23:56
Speaker 1: fancam video of it. They had a live event match
1:24:01
Speaker 1: in LA I think about how rare Hogan working a
1:24:05
Speaker 1: house show was. So I didn't know they had one
1:24:07
Speaker 1: in Reno, though, Super Pony, how sad are you that
1:24:11
Speaker 1: Tom Brady did not appear at WrestleMania. Could not give
1:24:15
Speaker 1: a shit, Nico Samuel, I agree with what you said
1:24:19
Speaker 1: about the Sopranos franchise. No James Gandolfini, no soprano. Yeah,
1:24:23
Speaker 1: it just doesn't work. He was the show, you know,
1:24:28
Speaker 1: he was the heart of the show. Without him, I
1:24:30
Speaker 1: have no interest, super Pony, are you ready for the
1:24:35
Speaker 1: Halloween game in September? Is that when it comes out? Yeah?
1:24:41
Speaker 1: I actually am looking forward to that one. If they
1:24:44
Speaker 1: have it for Steam to play on PC, I may
1:24:47
Speaker 1: have to pick that one up. I'll wait for the
1:24:49
Speaker 1: reviews though, I want to see like how the gameplay
1:24:51
Speaker 1: is and everything. By the way, how are all of
1:24:56
Speaker 1: the Knicks fans coping with the news of Mitchell Robinson's
1:25:01
Speaker 1: broken pinky? Is this a bad Omen? Is this a
1:25:06
Speaker 1: bad Omen? For next week? Dev to Dust, the Mets
1:25:11
Speaker 1: will win a championship before the Jets. Somehow, I feel
1:25:16
Speaker 1: like the two of them will just sort of cancel
1:25:19
Speaker 1: each other out. It'll be like they'll be mutually cursed
1:25:24
Speaker 1: and they will never win another championship in our lifetime. Well,
1:25:28
Speaker 1: we did hit the goal. We did hit the likes goal.
1:25:33
Speaker 1: So that's good because now you get another round of
1:25:39
Speaker 1: be the booker. So back we go. No, no, no,
1:25:44
Speaker 1: back we go. Back we go, which means we get
1:25:49
Speaker 1: stipulations now. Dry Chicken says, buy a gold chain for
1:25:54
Speaker 1: the stream on Sunday. Yeah, I'm not going to do that.
1:25:58
Speaker 1: I'm not going anywhere before Sunday. I'm trying to heal
1:26:01
Speaker 1: up and get better and feel better and get my
1:26:03
Speaker 1: shit done because I got a show to do tomorrow
1:26:06
Speaker 1: because of Clash in Italy. I have a podcast to
1:26:09
Speaker 1: do tomorrow. So my Saturday is gone, thank you ww A.
1:26:14
Speaker 1: My Saturday and my Sunday are gone. All right, here
1:26:18
Speaker 1: we go. Hardcore match, pretty basic, pretty self explanatory. I
1:26:25
Speaker 1: would say, we got a hardcore tag team match to book,
1:26:32
Speaker 1: so let's do it. Oh, this is right up there, Alley,
1:26:36
Speaker 1: Public Enemy. They know a thing or two about hardcore matches,
1:26:42
Speaker 1: I would say, So they are going to be taking
1:26:47
Speaker 1: on the kings of wrestling, Chris Hero and Claudio Signi.
1:26:56
Speaker 1: They were a great It's such a sin that they
1:26:58
Speaker 1: couldn't tag up in WWA. It's too bad. They definitely
1:27:05
Speaker 1: would have won some tag team titles in WWA. Al right,
1:27:10
Speaker 1: our women's match. Oh, look at this for our women's match.
1:27:14
Speaker 1: He's this is right up his awley. He's always hanging
1:27:16
Speaker 1: out with the women anyway. CM Punk is going to
1:27:20
Speaker 1: be the special referee for the ladies match. You know,
1:27:24
Speaker 1: back in the day, he was quite the player on
1:27:26
Speaker 1: that roster. I think he dated pretty much every diva
1:27:28
Speaker 1: that WWE had, Right, he was with Maria, he was
1:27:32
Speaker 1: with Lita, he was with aj obviously, I think he
1:27:34
Speaker 1: was was he with was he with Beth God? He
1:27:38
Speaker 1: was with like fucking five different women. I think on
1:27:42
Speaker 1: that roster he was playing the field. CM Punk is
1:27:47
Speaker 1: the referee. Tessa Blanchard will be on one side of
1:27:52
Speaker 1: the ring and on the other choose four women and
1:28:06
Speaker 1: book a tag team match. Oh, Punk is getting very excited.
1:28:09
Speaker 1: Now more women for him? All right, Well, we got
1:28:12
Speaker 1: a women's tag team match to book. Tessa Blanchard is one,
1:28:17
Speaker 1: so we have to pick three more. Who is going
1:28:21
Speaker 1: to be Tessa's partner? Find out Tessa and bird Girl
1:28:31
Speaker 1: Lyra Valkyria. She just got herself a new tag team partner.
1:28:36
Speaker 1: Her name is Tessa Blanchard. They will be taking on
1:28:42
Speaker 1: the team of Chelsea Green. Oh man, it would be
1:28:48
Speaker 1: perfect if it was Tiffany Stratton. Right, we could put
1:28:51
Speaker 1: them together as a tag team before WWE does Chelsea
1:28:58
Speaker 1: Green and Jordan Gray? What the fuck happened to Jordan Grace?
1:29:05
Speaker 1: She just got her pilot's license. I mean that's great.
1:29:09
Speaker 1: I thought she was a wrestler. I mean maybe I
1:29:11
Speaker 1: was wrong. I don't know does she wrestle anymore? Is
1:29:14
Speaker 1: she officially a pilot now? Because the women's division shirt
1:29:19
Speaker 1: could use somebody like her. Right now, let's go to
1:29:23
Speaker 1: our men's Match's see what we're dealing with here. We
1:29:30
Speaker 1: are gonna end appropriately with an exploding barbed wired deathmatch. Well,
1:29:41
Speaker 1: I wouldn't want to be in this match. Kofi Kingston,
1:29:46
Speaker 1: Kofi Kingston. You know soon KOFE will be in aw
1:29:49
Speaker 1: and he may well end up in an exploding barbed
1:29:51
Speaker 1: wire death match. You know, he would love to get
1:29:56
Speaker 1: Brock in there, just to get revenge. It should be
1:29:58
Speaker 1: Brock instead, he gets Drew McIntyre. Drew McIntyre and Kofee
1:30:07
Speaker 1: Kingston in exploding barbed wire deathmatch. There you go, there's
1:30:18
Speaker 1: your sweep. I don't like Kofe's chances. Not good. Not
1:30:26
Speaker 1: looking to Hey, there's Uncle Saudi. I'm joining us tonight.
1:30:31
Speaker 1: You got your sweep. It took the bonus round to
1:30:33
Speaker 1: get there, but you got your clean sweep. Uh, we
1:30:37
Speaker 1: got Fiji Finesser. Prepare your bunker for the Knicks winning
1:30:42
Speaker 1: Game one. I think it's very important to get the
1:30:46
Speaker 1: momentum right out of the gate, very important for them
1:30:48
Speaker 1: to win that first game, set the tone for the
1:30:50
Speaker 1: entire series and dry Chicken Claudio and Chris Hero against
1:30:55
Speaker 1: Public Enemy. The winner gets to enjoy a private yacht
1:31:01
Speaker 1: with Italian supermodels. Claudio and Chris Hero against Public Enemy
1:31:06
Speaker 1: actually would have been a good match. I'm glad I
1:31:07
Speaker 1: booked it, and I'm glad all of you joined me
1:31:11
Speaker 1: here for the SmackDown review. See SmackDown is only halfway
1:31:15
Speaker 1: done at this point, it is still in progress. But
1:31:18
Speaker 1: now I got you through. Right now, you're all caught
1:31:21
Speaker 1: up on everything that happened. We had a little bit
1:31:22
Speaker 1: of fun see the beauty of the Friday Night Dreams,
1:31:27
Speaker 1: and now we're done. Instead of me having to first
1:31:30
Speaker 1: go live at eleven thirty to talk about a dead show.
1:31:34
Speaker 1: I don't mind these European shows. They're fine with me.
1:31:38
Speaker 1: But again, Tomorrow, I will be dropping a brand new
1:31:42
Speaker 1: episode of the Sound of I don't know when, probably
1:31:44
Speaker 1: later in the afternoon, but just keep an eye out
1:31:47
Speaker 1: for it because it's coming. That'll be tomorrow. Then you
1:31:53
Speaker 1: got the Triple A show tomorrow night with El Grande
1:31:55
Speaker 1: Americano against El Grande Americano, and then coming up on
1:32:00
Speaker 1: Sunday is Clash in Italy. I will be live for that.
1:32:08
Speaker 1: I will be live for that at around eight o'clock.
1:32:10
Speaker 1: So what we did tonight is basically what I am
1:32:13
Speaker 1: planning on doing on Sunday, probably about eight pm Eastern
1:32:15
Speaker 1: or so. I will go live with the full pl
1:32:20
