  Speaker 2: And for those who are like, what the fuck is
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: summer Fest? You know, because Doyle said Summerfest and I
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: had to jog my memory of two thousand and nine?
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: Was it?
• 7:56
  Speaker 7: Uh, something like that.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: Jeremy Pivot and uh, I can't think the other.

  Speaker 2: That guy. You know, right as soon as I said,

  Speaker 2: you know exactly what the fun I'm talking about, don't
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: don't shake your head at me right now, you know
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: exactly what I'm talking about. But anyway, Uh, they were
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: they were co hosts. Hey, then that's there, you go
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: like that. Uh, but they were hot. I guess they
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: were hosting, or maybe they were just on a promo
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: spot promoting something. The guest hosts era from Bob Barker
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: all the way to the goddamn Muppets. I loved and
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: or hated it. There was someone that I liked.
• 8:49
  Speaker 6: He's your favorite muppet.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: Dude, It's it's it's Kermit. I mean, Kurmit is so
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: honest and true and uh, you know, but besides, I'd
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: say I like Pepe and and Rizzo. I think the
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: two of them are fucking hilarious. And I, uh no,
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: you gonna get me talking about muppets, man.
• 9:12
  Speaker 6: Like, uh, we're here to talk about.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: We're talking about it would be would win one hundred
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: yard dash?
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: Dude, that's yeah, I don't know.
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: Uh, but anyway, I want to say animal, but I
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: feel like you get distracted halfway through.
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that guy actually he's on coke half the time.
• 9:34
  Speaker 7: Yeah, he probably might not pass the drug screen.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: And most of the electric mayhem fugs probably wouldn't pass
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: the drug screen.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: But anyway, they were, they were doing Summer Slam and
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: they kind of botched it. And I actually have it
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: right here. Let's listen to it.
• 9:50
  Speaker 9: Here we go when all you guys go back to
• 9:53
  Speaker 9: l A your home turf, and if you lose, we
• 9:59
  Speaker 9: will banned you.
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: From the Summer Fest. You'll be banned from Summer Slam,
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: is what.
• 10:05
  Speaker 10: You say, Summer slap slammed out.
• 10:07
  Speaker 9: So wait a second, and summer whatever that is?
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: That was so cringey's I watched it. I was like, God, damn,
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: it's so cringey. It's cringey to me because like you're
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: an actor, like you're a professional actor. I would expect
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: nothing but the best from you, and you botch on
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: Summer Fest that that's your box like delivery, dude.
• 10:33
  Speaker 6: Absolutely From a filmmaking perspective, not to tissue, but let's
• 10:39
  Speaker 6: hear acting in front of a camera versus acting in
• 10:42
  Speaker 6: front of you know, millions of millions and millions of fans.
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: I got.
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I get it.
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: Takes versus one take.
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: Yah, compared to one person in the room, two hundreds
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: of people, thousands, And it's weird because then sometimes we
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: have it always we always look at it sometimes from
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: the other way around as one of our people. Wrestlers,
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: superstars go into the movie business and we judge them
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: on their acting when they're over there, But when actors
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: come over to our end, they come into ww man,
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: we criticize the fuck out of them because I don't know,
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: I guess because the way we see you on TV,
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: you're just so perfect. But when we see uh trying
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: to you know, do this stuff in front of the crowd,
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: we get.
• 11:36
  Speaker 7: To me.
• 11:36
  Speaker 6: I think the most successful celebrity on any wrestling platform
• 11:39
  Speaker 6: was Will Sassa. I don't you know, no one's ever
• 11:44
  Speaker 6: had more passion and skill. I'm not talking about logan, Paul,
• 11:49
  Speaker 6: I'm talking about real actors, and if you watch his
• 11:54
  Speaker 6: run back in the day, I don't think I've seen
• 11:56
  Speaker 6: any celebrity have more fun at a live event than well.
• 12:00
  Speaker 6: So he has so much respect for this industry.
• 12:03

  Speaker 6: Come on, man, isn't it supposed to be Boston at
• 16:18
  Speaker 6: WrestleMania and under.
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: Camp it was?
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: And I think this he he it was. It wasn't.
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: I don't think it was money. I think it was story.
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: He didn't feel like the story reason for him to
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: be there, And I was like, yeah, I kind of believe.
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: That still got paid even though he didn't appear supposedly.
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: I think he said that recently on the podcast, like
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: they couldn't come to an agreement about something but showing
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: up but apparently still got his money.
• 16:47
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: I saw somebody posted like two dream matches that we
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: could possibly still get. It's like John Cena and Stone
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: Cold or see him Punk and so Cold, like don't
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: don't tea, don't kiss me like that.
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: I'd highly doubt we'll get another Stone Cold match. I
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: think he's.
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he had to be drunk basically for the last one,
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: like I need a beer every thirty seconds or I
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: ain't wrestling Like that's how dude, Like that's seriously like
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: the deal looks like he mads like I need a
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: beer like every thirty seconds thrown at me. I need
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: a boy with a cooler just following me around.
• 17:26
  Speaker 6: He's just teetering on like crazy cat lady. Though he's
• 17:30
  Speaker 6: like he's right on the cusp of that if he's
• 17:32
  Speaker 6: not careful.
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: I think we talked about this in the discord a
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: little bit. Shane McMahon has been seen with Tony Kahan
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: and people, some people who don't watch adew Who's like,
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: who the fuck is Tony Kahan? Well, let me tell
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: you this, Yeah, Marks, Tony Kahan is the owner of
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: AW and singing Shane McMahon over there. I'm not saying
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: that there's any intentions of Shane buying a company, just
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: that now we have a McMahon trying to do business
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: over an AW. Now is this something like is this
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: something that maybe like they're monopolizing like wrestling like like
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: it's like, I obviously I don't think Shane and Stephanie
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: have bad blood with each other, correct, I mean, it's
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: all this is all his business at the end of
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: the day.
• 18:28
  Speaker 6: But do we really need another McMahon my time as
• 18:32
  Speaker 6: a casual viewer, But every time I've seen Shane, it's
• 18:35
  Speaker 6: always in quick bits like he's never been a part
• 18:40
  Speaker 6: something long form.
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: Oh no, his quads won't allow it.
• 18:47
  Speaker 6: Dog saving today, you know. So it's it's hard to
• 18:52
  Speaker 6: understand what his intentions are because does he have the
• 18:55
  Speaker 6: money to buy him up? Probably not? Is this too
• 19:00
  Speaker 6: fight McMahon name perhaps, or is there is there like
• 19:05
  Speaker 6: is he you know, an inside man? Is he a mole?
• 19:08
  Speaker 6: And who knows? I think that's a little too comical
• 19:11
  Speaker 6: and you know, to film driven, but it is well,
• 19:14
  Speaker 6: you know, you know, maybe he just wants to be
• 19:18
  Speaker 6: a producer on the show. Got pushed out.
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like the Godfather though, It's like there's always
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: family and I you know what, could you just imagine
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: the conversation I think and say, hey, wouldn't it be
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: cool if like once the old man's out, like now
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: we're kind of free to make our own moves and decisions.
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: Like what would be cool, as Shay if you went
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: over and just like bought the rival company. We just
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: fucking take it all that, you know what I mean?
• 19:52
  Speaker 6: Don't think he could be good as a producer if
• 19:54
  Speaker 6: he does this professionally and just plays the producer part.
• 19:59
  Speaker 6: I think he could.
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: Maybe, But for one, Shane ain't got enough money to
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: buy a w A will yeah two billion, No, he
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: ain't buying it. Honestly, I think he just wants back
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: into the wrestling business in some way, some former capacity,
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: because apparently he wanted it. He was trying to get
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: back in with w W E and w W just
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: just rejected him. They're like, now we're good over here.
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: We don't need you. We were good. And maybe that
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: might be fueling him to be like, oh, y'all think
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: y'all good without me, Fine, I'll go over here and
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: work with a w and do something for them autely,
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: that's honestly. I think this may be a little bit
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: maybe a little bit of spike, maybe a little bit
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: of a narcissism on his party in the fact that
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: you know, how dare you got out there? U ww
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: you know, y'all think y'all all that without me? Okay,
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: I bet watch what I do over here, which, for
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: my money, I don't think is going to him out
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: to a whole lot.
• 21:06
  Speaker 6: I mean, but look what family does to a promotion.
• 21:09
  Speaker 6: I mean, when when Stephanie came out on Night two
• 21:13
  Speaker 6: when everyone was freezing their freaking asses off.
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: Only in night long, we froze our asses off. We
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: didn't freeze ye.
• 21:20
  Speaker 6: Only on that one. But but to see but you know,
• 21:23
  Speaker 6: post Vince McMahon scandal, to see Stephanie walk out and
• 21:27
  Speaker 6: open the show reignited an energy that people needed for
• 21:31
  Speaker 6: that night to to be successful. And I think she
• 21:34
  Speaker 6: was triple h was so smart for setting that up
• 21:38
  Speaker 6: and gutting her out there because.
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: We like Stephanie. Yeah, yeah, ain't nobody walking around to
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: about Damn. I miss Shane, miss we like her.
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: Maybe maybe Doyle Man. I think that it was probably
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: in the kitchen, shuffling around in his socks hit cons
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: the money.
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: Like Shane. If Shane were to show up on a W,
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: it would make some headlines, obviously, because it's a McMahon
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: and that's probably it. He might get a few headlines
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: from when he shows up, and then whatever he does
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: from there, he may get talked into work in some
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: crazy match.
• 22:23
  Speaker 7: Yeah, are they gonna throw him off the roof.
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: Of exactly right. He's gonna do this crazy hardcore match,
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: maybe survive it or get injured at the beginning of it,
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: and then that'll be it.
• 22:35
  Speaker 6: Then table I think, yeah, I think he's gonna be
• 22:39
  Speaker 6: a passing fad like excuse me, Adam Copeland. I think
• 22:43
  Speaker 6: they're going to use him and then people are gonna
• 22:45
  Speaker 6: forget about him. I think that's exactly that.
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: I don't see it being any type of long term
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: thing because quite frankly, a W hasn't shown the ability
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: to do long long term storytelling. Yeah, very much. Hot
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: shot shot out of everything, go for the instant pop,
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: go for the quick you know, the quick fix. They're
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: here and the now to generate some headlines for a moment,
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: and then the moment passes and then that's it, and
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: then they just jump to the next thing. And they'll
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: do the same thing with and my guess is they'll
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: probably do the same thing, same thing with McMahon. They'll
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: get him in, he'll be hot and interesting up until
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: their next pay per view and then that's probably it.
• 23:27
  Speaker 6: Yeah. I agree.
• 23:29
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: Uh, that's all I got for news for right now. Uh, Doyle,
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: do you want to take this segment and give us
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: some fun facts or I know you, I know you
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: got something. I know you got a notebook of something.
• 23:42
  Speaker 7: You want me to take us to Cleveland?
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, as long as there's no steamer involved, go for it.
• 23:47
  Speaker 7: Oh ship back to Cleveland for the thirty seven summer.
• 23:55
  Speaker 7: That's crazy.
• 23:56
  Speaker 5: Yah.
• 23:57
  Speaker 7: Second time to Cleveland summer was in Cleveland.
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: Kind of memorable show and it featured the boiler room
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: for all between Mankind and Undertaker.
• 24:09
  Speaker 6: Kind of.
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: Precursor to the cinematic matches we got during the pandemic era.
• 24:20
  Speaker 7: Pretty awful show though overall. But we're back in Cleveland.
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: But I did want to and I don't want to
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: hijack the podcast with this discussion, but I did want
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: to point out, for the first time ever, the thirty
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: seventh edition of SummerSlam will be the first to feature
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: no black wrestler, not one. Oh shit, that's kind of
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: fucked up, I think, especially.
• 24:45
  Speaker 7: When you channel and look at AEW.
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: I mean, they have way too many belts, but that's
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: a different discussion. They have six champions, I mean, and
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: six black champions, and WWE can't even get one on
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: their second biggest show of the year, and I think
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: that's I mean, there's a lot of criticism of Triple
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: H's booking of black talent, which shall we say, but
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: I think it's kind of kind of shitty that there
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: isn't a single one. Now, Brandon, we've met some Latino people,
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: some Asian people.
• 25:24
  Speaker 7: That's great.
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: Diversity is wonderful, but we need to also try to
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: include everybody.
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: I think, truly, there's definitely something of a note about that.
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: You know, obviously it's not something that's gone overlooked by people,
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: especially you know, those of us in the black wrestling fandom.
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: It's definitely been a topic of discussion in recent weeks.
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: I've observed plenty of topics about Triple H's booking and things,
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: and I will just say that it's it. Discussions seemed
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: to be fifty to fifty about it from what I've observed.
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: Some people, you know, are defending triplation in his booking
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: and such, and you know, making valid arguments, while there
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: are also people who are pointing out, you know, things
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: as you just mentioned, you know, and some of these
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: trends that we've seem to have noticed since Triple AH
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: has taken over booking. And for my money, I think
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: as of this point, it's at this point, I won't
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: say it's really a thing, just my personal opinion, because obviously,
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: you know, black wrestlers can't be at the top all
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: the time, you know. I think that's just the nature
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: of the business itself. Nobody really remains at the top, exactly.
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: Nobody remains at the top all the time. You're gonna
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: have your ebbs and your flows. Sometimes you're the you're
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: involved in the main stuff and you're at the top,
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: and then sometimes there's a period where you may take
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: a bit of a backseat to some other people so
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: that they can get some shine. Maybe we're in that
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: phase right now, but well.
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: I'm not prepared to at this point exactly.
• 27:09
  Speaker 6: There are three black wrestlers right now that are finally
• 27:13
  Speaker 6: getting well, there's two that are finally getting showcased and
• 27:15
  Speaker 6: one that I think needs a better push. First of all,
• 27:19
  Speaker 6: montest Ford. That dude is so talented, He's skilled, technical,
• 27:24
  Speaker 6: and he's got that situational awareness that you want. With
• 27:27
  Speaker 6: a wrestler like that, you can really, you know, make
• 27:30
  Speaker 6: the other wrestler them look good, push them over and
• 27:32
  Speaker 6: still shine. I mean when he climbed the chamber, that
• 27:37
  Speaker 6: was one of the coolest things I've ever seen.
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: And to that point, how long ago was that?
• 27:42
  Speaker 6: Well, that's what I'm saying. It's like right after that,
• 27:44
  Speaker 6: like he lost all his steam because he got pushed
• 27:46
  Speaker 6: behind everyone. But then you have you have two wrestlers,
• 27:49
  Speaker 6: you know, you have Carmelo, Hayes and Wesley. I personally wanted,
• 27:55
  Speaker 6: I mean, what we'll go go this morning with our predictions,
• 27:57
  Speaker 6: but I definitely think that a certain belt should be
• 28:01
  Speaker 6: with younger wrestlers. And I look forward to see what
• 28:05
  Speaker 6: Carmelo he's gonna do. And the fact that Wesley now
• 28:07
  Speaker 6: has his what's his new group called or his he's
• 28:10
  Speaker 6: back of his old group, Wesley. Yeah, what are they
• 28:16
  Speaker 6: called the rascals.
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: Rascals, Yeah, because I just saw they recently reformed.
• 28:23
  Speaker 6: Yeah, but you know, you know, I think, you know,
• 28:25
  Speaker 6: there's definitely some you know, there's some great African American
• 28:28
  Speaker 6: wrestlers that are getting the opportunities. They just need bigger pushes.
• 28:32
  Speaker 6: So it's there. I just you know, we just need
• 28:35
  Speaker 6: some older wrestlers to get injured or something. But we'll
• 28:38
  Speaker 6: talk about that in a bit.
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: How do you guys feel about I think it starts
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: at six o'clock? Is that right? Or is it is
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: the normal?
• 28:46
  Speaker 6: So many commercials.
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: It's just like, I know this is the new wrestle Mania,
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: and and I know we're going to be getting this
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: in a two part episodes. So this is gonna be
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: this this I think this year is gonna be last one,
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: right that we get it? Oh yeah, okay, so we
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: got one four years.
• 29:06
  Speaker 6: Well no, no, Raw and PL's are going to Netflix
• 29:11
  Speaker 6: January first, twenty twenty five. That's what I read.
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: Well, I meant like Summer Slam's gonna be a two
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: night event.
• 29:18
  Speaker 6: Oh gotcha?
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, so like they're gonna this one's gonna be
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: definitely a lot longer than they're gonna make those two
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: night events shorter because this time we have like seven
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: matches and normally we have five. We've normally had a
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: consistent five.
• 29:32
  Speaker 12: Uh yeah, yeah, exactly.
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: Two more matches. Wow. Yeah.
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: But you know what, though, I'll look get the car
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: and I like that for once, we have a lot
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: of championship titles on the line, we have just one
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: match that there's no gold involved, and to me, it's
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: my most anticipated match and there's no title involved in
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: it at all.
• 29:58
  Speaker 6: So let me ask you something from yours. You know,
• 30:01
  Speaker 6: you know, this is me wanting to learn more premiere
• 30:03
  Speaker 6: traits from the history of Summer slams. Is Summer Slam
• 30:07
  Speaker 6: typically used as a you know, like let's let's kind
• 30:11
  Speaker 6: of let the story build and we'll, you know, save
• 30:13
  Speaker 6: something bigger for the next event. Is Summer some typically
• 30:15
  Speaker 6: used to like really go all out, Like how is
• 30:18
  Speaker 6: Summer scient typically utilized.
• 30:22
  Speaker 7: It's been mostly about returns.
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: There's always been there's been a big return the last
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: couple of Summer Slams. I think a couple of years
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: ago it was Bailey forming damage Control.
• 30:33
  Speaker 7: I think we might speculate on who it might be
• 30:35
  Speaker 7: this year.
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we had Becky Lynch a few years ago. Return. Yeah,
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: it has been about a lot about returns. But it's
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: also they've kind of built up SummerSlam to this point
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: to be basically the second biggest show of the year.
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: So like how we have a lot of storylines that
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: start maybe towards the end of the year and through
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: the Rumble that build up to WrestleMania. A lot of times,
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: you get it seems like a lot of stories start
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: after WrestleMania and seem to build more slowly towards Summer Slam,
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: and then SummerSlam a lot of times tends to be
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: a bit of a culmination of some stories that have
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: been built up starting after WrestleMania or not too far
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: after there, and build up over a couple of months,
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: and then after that we kind of enter the fall
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: some and then obviously you know, things go from there.
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: But that's pretty much where SummerSlam has been positioned. It's
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: kind of like the second big the second big finishing
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: point for a lot of storylines. Yeah, and sometimes SummerSlam
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: somewhat sets the table in some cases, not always, but
• 31:56
  Speaker 3: in some cases towards WrestleMania in terms of some story
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: like if you think back to uh, dude, I just
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: mentioned Becky Lynch's return at Summer Slam a few a
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: few years ago where she uh beat uh Bianca bel
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: Air for the Snackdown Woman's title in with twenty something seconds.
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, you didn't like?
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: That was beginning of that of her story of Bianca
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: storyline towards coming back at WrestleMania the following year in
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: regaining her title. So you know there's also that as well.
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree with you, Dre like it kind of
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: wraps up like all these big storylines we had at WrestleMania,
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: all these new champions that were crowned at WrestleMania. Sometimes
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: we get i'd like to say, quote unquote seasonal champions
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: where it's like, okay, like the Summer of Kofi Kingston.
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: You know, uh that kind of ended at SummerSlam. There's
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: a lot of title runs that Daniel Bryan won. I
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: remember a big thing happened at WrestleMania, then it ended
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: Summer Slam. You know. Then it's kind of sets up
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: like another long term feud or story I think going
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: into maybe Survivors series down the road. But yeah, I
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: always saw like Summer Slam as an indefinite wrap up
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: of ninety percent of all the WrestleMania stories, the WrestleMania
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: newer champions. I feel like now we're gonna get all
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: new champions and going into this pay per view. When
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: I'm looking at this card, I feel like we're gonna
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: agree on a lot of title changes tonight.
• 33:37
  Speaker 6: So I'm glad you said that because, you know, thank
• 33:40
  Speaker 6: you for well Gus, thank you for giving me that
• 33:42
  Speaker 6: kind of history of lesson and you know, typic of summerstime.
• 33:45
  Speaker 6: Based on what I'm seeing from my perspective, I feel
• 33:49
  Speaker 6: like this is gonna be a very disruptive Summer Slam.
• 33:51
  Speaker 6: I think there's gonna be, like you said, a lot
• 33:52
  Speaker 6: of titles. There's gonna be a lot of pivots, and
• 33:56
  Speaker 6: so there's gonna be a lot of shakeups and you know,
• 33:59
  Speaker 6: new variables I gonna get introduced. Like, I don't see
• 34:01
  Speaker 6: this is closing any doors. I think this is gonna
• 34:04
  Speaker 6: really just shot her a lot of things that we
• 34:06
  Speaker 6: were just getting comfortable with. So I'm really excited. I'm
• 34:09
  Speaker 6: really excited to talk about each each one.
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, cool, let's let's yeah, let's get into this.
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: I'm not gonna go on any specific order, uh, because
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: you know what, even I don't believe whatever Wikipedia gives me,
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: like their answer to uh, the order of matches here,
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: because there's a sum here. I would just for certain reasons,
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: I would shuffle them on the on the board.
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: Here.
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: We're gonna start with what they give me is number one.
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: They give me Damian Priest, who's our world heavyweight champion,
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: and he's going against Gunther. Now we know Gunther has
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: been running havoc ever since he got to the main roster,
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: ever since he got his fingers on the intercontinental title.
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: He became the longest running icy champ in history, and
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: then he lost against Sammy's at WrestleMania. Now he hasn't
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: lost since. And I think that's pretty cool because he
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: he's he was here sporadically and I know he's not.
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: I don't think he's dealing with any or he was
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: dealing with any kind of injuries. But it was more
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: of a less was more because we didn't see Gunther
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: for a while. Then he started showing up again and
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: now he's in this feud and uh, you know, we
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: knew that he after winning the King of the Ring
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: that he was promised, you know, this world heavyweight title match,
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: So it was nice to see him step away for
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: a while while that you know, that feud continued for
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: damon the last pay per view, so goodthro got some
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: time off, and that was nice because I knew whatever
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: the results were that last pay per view, I knew
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: at the end of the day we were getting this.
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: We all knew this was coming, and that's I think
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: that was exciting. I think that's cool, like seeing an
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: opponent basically who's at SummerSlam, just waiting for his opponent already.
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: He's like, I'm here, I already know what I'm doing
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: I just don't know who I'm fighting yet. He's like,
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: I'm guaranteed to match her at Summer I just don't
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: know against too, uh, but I'm I'm hell bent on
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: believing this is it. We've gotten so far with Gunther.
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: We've worked so hard to bring him from Walter, you know,
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: from the one of the longest reigning UK champions at
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: the time, and then his run with the Icy title
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: and then getting all the way to King in the Ring.
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: Like I'd be shocked I'd honestly be shocked, but I
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: would understand why they would maybe have a little bit
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: more faith in and Damian Priest as maybe it looks
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: like Damien is slowly getting that face turned. So I
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: can understand if they want to keep the title on Damien.
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: But if there's no Judgment Day involved at all, if
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: we get a clean that's what I want. I really
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: just want to clean win. I don't want no shenannikins.
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: I want. I want to see gun thro win his
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: first world title clean I want, and I want to
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: see respect between the two at the end of the match.
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: You know that that's the best thing I could I
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: could ask for out of this match. Give me a
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: good match. I know these two guys are big sons
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: of bitches. We're gonna see meat slap meat. You know
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: it's gonna be red, red, bloody chess after this match, guaranteed.
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: But let's keep Judgment Day out. Let's get gun through
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: a clean pin, Let's get a handshake at the end.
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: That's all I want. Dray, what are you thinking?
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I know. For the I'll just say this, I
• 37:51
  Speaker 3: really want Damian Priest to win this match. Okay, as
• 37:57
  Speaker 3: far as we're hearts that I want to win in
• 38:00
  Speaker 3: this match. The storyline that they've been building up for
• 38:03
  Speaker 3: the last few weeks of you know, Gunter being the
• 38:07
  Speaker 3: arrogant guy with you know, all the things handed to him,
• 38:11
  Speaker 3: and you know, the you know, the whole white collar
• 38:17
  Speaker 3: versus blue collar, you know trope that they're going with
• 38:21
  Speaker 3: on this one. You know again, Gunter was the guy
• 38:23
  Speaker 3: that was highly recruited, highly trained, had everything you know
• 38:28
  Speaker 3: handed to him, whereas you know, Damian Priest is supposedly
• 38:31
  Speaker 3: the guy that had to get it out the mud,
• 38:33
  Speaker 3: who had to grind and work his way up. It
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: almost makes you want to see it makes you want
• 38:39
  Speaker 3: Damian Priests to come out on top in this case,
• 38:42
  Speaker 3: even though we kind of all secretly know that Gunter
• 38:46
  Speaker 3: is destined for that world title at some point inevitably,
• 38:50
  Speaker 3: I personally would not be upset if they held off
• 38:54
  Speaker 3: on that, let Priests get this win here at SummerSlam
• 38:59
  Speaker 3: and then maybe going to get to rematch at the
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: next pl or something like that, and then he takes
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: the title. I'd be totally fine with that, But for
• 39:08
  Speaker 3: Summer Slam, I want Priests to get the win. I'm
• 39:11
  Speaker 3: just not one hundred percent certain that that's gonna happen.
• 39:14
  Speaker 3: I think they're still gonna go the regular route that
• 39:21
  Speaker 3: they've probably already been on for a few months now
• 39:24
  Speaker 3: and have Gunter win the title, which I think is
• 39:29
  Speaker 3: going to be disappointing in my opinion. You know, before again,
• 39:34
  Speaker 3: up to a couple of weeks ago, we were probably
• 39:37
  Speaker 3: all solidly convinced that, yeah, Gunter was winning a Summer Slam.
• 39:40
  Speaker 3: There's nothing to it. But the way they've told the
• 39:42
  Speaker 3: storyline in the last couple of weeks, I think he's
• 39:44
  Speaker 3: changed some people's thoughts or feelings going into this match.
• 39:50
  Speaker 3: I think Damian Priest has a lot more people in
• 39:53
  Speaker 3: his corner now than where's the case a month ago.
• 40:00
  Speaker 3: So my heart is with Damian Priest in this match,
• 40:03
  Speaker 3: and I do really want him to win. But if
• 40:05
  Speaker 3: I had to put money on it, I'm probably gonna
• 40:08
  Speaker 3: put money still on guns Doyle.
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: Do you feel the same way.
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: Ah well, yeah, I mean, look, it's a battle of
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: two guys that used to be fat.
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: Right, Yeah it was? Sorry, sorry, yeah, true, It's true
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: though it is. They've come a long way. They come
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: a long long.
• 40:34
  Speaker 7: Way, yeah, they have. It's weird when you see old
• 40:38
  Speaker 7: footage of Walter.
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, anyway, Uh yeah, I mean at first, this match
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: was only happening because it had to, right because Gunsa
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: won King of the Ring gets a title shot that's
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: on the slam, and Priest is a champion, so there
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: was really no there there no natural feud, you know. Uh,
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: and they're both heels, although you know, Priest has taken
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: the express train to Babyfacetown. I think in credit where
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: credit is due, and I think you both you know,
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: said as much.
• 41:09
  Speaker 7: I think they've done a pretty good job, you know,
• 41:11
  Speaker 7: making this.
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: A personal thing rather than just a match that has
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: to happen, you know, the upper upper class versus the
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: working class whatever, you know. The wrestling tales all the
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: time into priests credit. You know, he's made it look
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: like he's made it look like he belongs in the
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: ring with Gunther. The you know, but Gunther feels inevitable,
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: you know, like some other bad guy once said. You know,
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: I think he's only lost three times, right, They've mentioned
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: that a couple times on TV. He's the longest reigning
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: you know whatever, NXT European whatever the hell that championship
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: was longest reigning Nicey champion. I think he's been a
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: champion of some kind for like seventy five percent of
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: the time he's been in the company.
• 41:59
  Speaker 7: H But you get bashed of Berlin.
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: Next, you know, on the horizon, Gunther is of course Austrian.
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: Wouldn't be the first time in Austrian was mistaken for
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: a German. I suppose there's a world where priests could
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: eat this out of each out of victory, you know,
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: possibly by nefarious means, in which case Gunters win, we
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: come in Berlin, I think the next pay per view,
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: But I'm not sure it makes a lot of sense
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: for a guy that's rounding third heading for home, you know,
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: to Babyfacetown should be winning a match by nefarious means.
• 42:34
  Speaker 7: You know, it doesn't really go.
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: With Babyfacess however, you know, Priest always says he wants
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: to go it alone, he doesn't want anyone to interfere,
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: and of course they always end up interfering anyway. And
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: you know, this may just contribute to the growing and
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: cracks within judgment day. So everything, everything, everything, everything says
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: gun the right, and I'm kind of I thought I
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: was gonna be contrarian picking Damian Priest here just as
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: a swerve. But it really came down to the order
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: I wrote these out in Uh. I already had three
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: title changes, and I was like, okay, that said, I'm
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: cutting it off at three.
• 43:19
  Speaker 7: But I think guns is gonna eventually win the belt.
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: All right man, and last finale? Come on, man, what
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: are you thinking?
• 43:28
  Speaker 7: All right?
• 43:28
  Speaker 6: So I'm gonna keep this short and sweet. Priest needs
• 43:32
  Speaker 6: the belt more than Gunther, and I say that only
• 43:36
  Speaker 6: because I think the belt makes Priest a better wrestler.
• 43:40
  Speaker 6: It's putting him more in the spotlight. He has to
• 43:43
  Speaker 6: focus more, he has to improve more. He has to
• 43:46
  Speaker 6: work on his promos, he has to work on the
• 43:48
  Speaker 6: engagement with the audiences. You know. I think this is
• 43:50
  Speaker 6: like it's a crash course in being a WWE superstar,
• 43:55
  Speaker 6: and I think he's handling it well, although where I
• 43:59
  Speaker 6: get nervous. He has little botches here and there that
• 44:02
  Speaker 6: makes me really nervous, Like I don't know what to
• 44:04
  Speaker 6: call them, the rope slip, ankle lock where he's hanging
• 44:08
  Speaker 6: upside down. But the thing is, I give more credit
• 44:11
  Speaker 6: to someone like Drea McIntyre for getting on his knees
• 44:14
  Speaker 6: and basically doing a match from his knees to you know,
• 44:17
  Speaker 6: support Priests and that whatever that injury was at the time.
• 44:21
  Speaker 6: And I think that other wrestlers are doing a great
• 44:24
  Speaker 6: job of making Priests look like the person that he's
• 44:28
  Speaker 6: becoming a lot I think, you know, as I mentioned
• 44:32
  Speaker 6: at the top of the call, there's gonna be you know,
• 44:34
  Speaker 6: a lot of pivots and shakeups. But I think of
• 44:37
  Speaker 6: the judgment day, which I think is about to get
• 44:40
  Speaker 6: split in two, I think Priest is going to retain man.
• 44:45
  Speaker 2: He'll get aload of respect though if he beats Scoonter Clean. Yes,
• 44:49
  Speaker 2: anybody who puts Scooter away, specially clean like that, mad
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: of respect.
• 44:55
  Speaker 3: Sure, definitely if he if he manages to somehow beat Gunter.
• 44:59
  Speaker 2: Clean, elevated into a lot of respect from us.
• 45:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that'll definitely elevate him on a different level, especially
• 45:06
  Speaker 3: if they can do it in a way that doesn't
• 45:09
  Speaker 3: hurt Gunter, that doesn't make that doesn't you know, destroy
• 45:13
  Speaker 3: Gunter's aura of near invincibility.
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: And Gutter's gonna have to lose matches here and there, like, Yeah,
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: he can't be undefeated, you know, rarely defeated.
• 45:26
  Speaker 7: You know, he has to lose every now.
• 45:28
  Speaker 3: And then, right, and at some point he needs to
• 45:33
  Speaker 3: have not just lose every now and then. He probably
• 45:37
  Speaker 3: would benefit from a losing streak at some point in
• 45:40
  Speaker 3: his career. He definitely can't be the guy who spends
• 45:44
  Speaker 3: his whole career, you know, constantly winning and almost never losing,
• 45:48
  Speaker 3: because at some point that's gonna get boring and at
• 45:51
  Speaker 3: some point his character will become uninteresting.
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Oscar's character. I thought she was undefeated for the
• 45:57
  Speaker 2: longest time, and then she lost to Charlotte Flair, and
• 46:00
  Speaker 2: then she's basically won on like a year streak of
• 46:02
  Speaker 2: just losing every match. But you know it didn't. I
• 46:07
  Speaker 2: don't think it affected her career at all. I mean, yes,
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: and that's.
• 46:10
  Speaker 6: Just one the one Charlotte back when she's coming.
• 46:14
  Speaker 2: Back, I know me too. All right, let's move on. Uh,
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: Bailey's going in as the w W Women's Champion versus
• 46:26
  Speaker 2: Naya Jacks. I for me, I think this isn't obvious one.
• 46:33
  Speaker 2: I don't think Bailey is really I feel like she's
• 46:35
  Speaker 2: not really doing much with this title. She's kinda I
• 46:39
  Speaker 2: think of all the people who have the titles right now,
• 46:41
  Speaker 2: hers is the most lackluster. For me, especially this title run.
• 46:46
  Speaker 2: I was happy when she got it, but now what
• 46:51
  Speaker 2: and Naya Jackson's is unfortunately she's she's got momentum and
• 46:57
  Speaker 2: she got Queen of the Ring. I mean, that's a hell,
• 47:00
  Speaker 2: that's momentum enough. But I think we're gonna get a
• 47:04
  Speaker 2: heel Naya jack run with this title for for a
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: bit until maybe every turning star takes it off of her,
• 47:14
  Speaker 2: or maybe we got Tiffany Stretton now that she's walking
• 47:19
  Speaker 2: around with her to be interesting to see the champ
• 47:21
  Speaker 2: and the briefcase altogether again.
• 47:25
  Speaker 6: Oh you think tif's gonna run in with the brief thinks, Oh.
• 47:29
  Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, I think tif's gonna hang around
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: for a while with the briefcase just looming over anight,
• 47:35
  Speaker 2: you know, like I have it. You know, we're friends,
• 47:38
  Speaker 2: but it still got this briefcase. I think we're just
• 47:41
  Speaker 2: gonna I think it's gonna warm up, like it's not
• 47:45
  Speaker 2: gonna it's gonna be tempting over the next couple of weeks,
• 47:48
  Speaker 2: like oh, maybe now she'll do it, you know, or
• 47:51
  Speaker 2: now or she'll try to do it and Nya catches
• 47:54
  Speaker 2: her and and then we'll eventually get that payoff of
• 47:57
  Speaker 2: that cash in. But yeah, I think it's going to
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: start here, and I think Bailey is definitely gonna lose it,
• 48:04
  Speaker 2: and I think now he's gonna do it clean too.
• 48:09
  Speaker 3: Trey, Yeah, I think I think Nijacks does come out
• 48:18
  Speaker 3: of this as champion. I'm not as down on Bailey's
• 48:24
  Speaker 3: current run, I think as much as as you are.
• 48:28
  Speaker 3: I think she's at a She's had a good enough run.
• 48:30
  Speaker 3: I mean, they granted, they haven't given her much compelling
• 48:34
  Speaker 3: storylines to engage in since I mean the most obviously
• 48:39
  Speaker 3: the biggest storyline was her with Damage Control. Since then,
• 48:43
  Speaker 3: she's kind of just been on a bit of an
• 48:45
  Speaker 3: appreciation tour a bit as champion, which you know, for
• 48:49
  Speaker 3: a woman at her stage in her career, I think
• 48:51
  Speaker 3: is totally fine. You know, Bailey's at the point where
• 48:54
  Speaker 3: she doesn't have to remain at the top of the roster.
• 48:57
  Speaker 3: She's shown that she can work just as well well
• 49:00
  Speaker 3: whether she's at the top, is the champion, or just
• 49:04
  Speaker 3: in the in the middle, in the mix with everybody else.
• 49:07
  Speaker 3: She's gonna give you excellent work. She's gonna shine regardless.
• 49:11
  Speaker 3: So but Nia Jacks. Ever since she's returned, you know,
• 49:16
  Speaker 3: in September of last year, she has really put in
• 49:22
  Speaker 3: the work and shown that she is not the Naia
• 49:25
  Speaker 3: Jacks that people remember from her first time. She's not
• 49:29
  Speaker 3: the one that people consider to be dangerous, she's not
• 49:31
  Speaker 3: the one that people consider to be reckless in the
• 49:34
  Speaker 3: ring or any of that. You haven't heard a single
• 49:36
  Speaker 3: complaint about anything that she's done. She came back this
• 49:40
  Speaker 3: time around. She is, excuse me, vastly improved her performance
• 49:46
  Speaker 3: and stepped her game up, and something like that deserves
• 49:52
  Speaker 3: to be rewarded. I think I think one. I think
• 49:55
  Speaker 3: the match itself is gonna be great. I think they're
• 49:57
  Speaker 3: gonna absolutely put on a low key banger of a
• 50:00
  Speaker 3: match going at it. But ultimately, yeah, as far as
• 50:05
  Speaker 3: from a storyline standpoint, where's the storyline in this lie?
• 50:09
  Speaker 3: I think it lies in Nia Jackson's champion, with her
• 50:14
  Speaker 3: new buddy Tiffany Stratton holding that briefcase lurking in the background,
• 50:20
  Speaker 3: waiting for her potential opportunity to strike and eventually cash
• 50:24
  Speaker 3: in on the Nia Jackson become champion herself. I think
• 50:28
  Speaker 3: that's where the storyline's going, and more likely, what the
• 50:30
  Speaker 3: outcome is going to be. It's not gonna happen as
• 50:33
  Speaker 3: something I think Tiffany Stratton's going to cash in at SummerSlam. No,
• 50:37
  Speaker 3: I don't. I wouldn't see them pulling it that quickly,
• 50:39
  Speaker 3: And honestly, if they did pull it that quickly, I'd
• 50:41
  Speaker 3: be upset. I feel like that was just would be
• 50:44
  Speaker 3: disrespectful to Nia Jacks if they did that. I think
• 50:47
  Speaker 3: Nijacks deserves a genuine, bona fide run with the title
• 50:51
  Speaker 3: for at least a few months before you know, the
• 50:55
  Speaker 3: rug gets pulled out from under her by Triple H. So, yeah,
• 51:03
  Speaker 3: Maloney's on Nia Jacks coming out as change emorging from
• 51:05
  Speaker 3: SummerSlam as champion.
• 51:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah awesome.
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: Uh Doyle, Yeah, I mean pretty kind of dry on
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: this one.
• 51:16
  Speaker 7: But there's a big butt at the end.
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: And I'm not talking about Bailey.
• 51:20
  Speaker 7: Yeah, Bailey, I expect now I to win. I think
• 51:25
  Speaker 7: we I figured we probably all would.
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: Bailey's one of the greatest women's wrestlers in w w
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: A history. I think that's fair to say. I think
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: she's a show favorite. I think that's fair to say.
• 51:38
  Speaker 7: Yeah, but I agree with Wayne.
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: This title run has been kind of lack luster, so
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: was this Babyface run. I'm glad she's not feued in
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: the fucking damnit control anymore. But since then, she's kind
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: of just not really had a whole hell of a
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: lot to do. Nia Jackson, on the other hand, dreh,
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: fucking yeah, really great since her return, and I think,
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: you know, similar to how they use Gunta, kind of
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: using her sparingly is to her advantage. Obviously, if she
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: wins the title, I guess should probably be seeing her
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: more often. It would makes sense, but maybe something to
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: look at going forward.
• 52:18
  Speaker 7: Yeah, but the the you know, wild card obviously Tiffany,
• 52:22
  Speaker 7: who I assume will.
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: Finally be debuting the Barbie briefcase we kind of predicted
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: a few weeks ago.
• 52:31
  Speaker 7: But you know, the big question, how does she play
• 52:33
  Speaker 7: into all this. She's already teased cashing in on Bailey.
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: I could see something like that happening where she pretends
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: to cash in, you know, during the match or something,
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: and you know, it distracts Bailey and that's how Nya wins,
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: and then of course still have a very contentious relationship
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: for a few months, and that'll be a lot of
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: fun hopefully.
• 52:56
  Speaker 7: Oh the big butt I promised.
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: I think there's a chance that Tiffany's interference could possibly.
• 53:03
  Speaker 7: Backfire and then cost Ny the match instead.
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: Uh, and that's the only way I would see Bailey winning,
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: But I kind of expect that to happen in a
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: different match on the card, and I don't think they're
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: gonna do the same finish twice. So I think Bailey
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: all right, rather Naya wins. I'm not sure it won't
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: be a squash either. I could see her just quickie
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: three minute boom boom boom boom, one, two three. I'm
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: not expecting a five star classic year, but I think.
• 53:36
  Speaker 2: Nia will win, all right? True, how do you feel out?
• 53:44
  Speaker 6: So going into this conversation, my notes literally read Bailey Naya,
• 53:48
  Speaker 6: It's gonna be a squash with with Nia on the ground.
• 53:54
  Speaker 6: But listen, it's a gentleman. He got me thinking, and
• 53:58
  Speaker 6: this is gonna be one of those matches where it's
• 54:00
  Speaker 6: it's more designed to set something else up. And there's
• 54:04
  Speaker 6: a lot of kind of decisions. I really love what
• 54:07
  Speaker 6: you guys are saying. You know, Tiffy running in, interrupting,
• 54:11
  Speaker 6: you know, you know, using the briefcase, Naya getting the
• 54:15
  Speaker 6: belt and going for a run and maybe some connection
• 54:17
  Speaker 6: with her, and you know, tiff like, there's a lot
• 54:18
  Speaker 6: of stuff that can come from this. I just think
• 54:20
  Speaker 6: with this direct matches, it's just a rudderless storyline and
• 54:25
  Speaker 6: needs to pivot to something else quick. You know, I
• 54:29
  Speaker 6: was never really familiar with Bailey until she premiered and recently,
• 54:32
  Speaker 6: you know, like in the last year or so to
• 54:35
  Speaker 6: go up against you know, with Demi's control and all that,
• 54:37
  Speaker 6: and I, you know, I have a lot of respect
• 54:40
  Speaker 6: for her. You know, one of those wrestlers that you
• 54:42
  Speaker 6: know got thrown to the wayside and you know get
• 54:45
  Speaker 6: you know, has you know, it has a nice resurgence,
• 54:48
  Speaker 6: a lot of support, you know, in the back of
• 54:49
  Speaker 6: the house. But I just I see something more interesting
• 54:54
  Speaker 6: coming from this between Naya and Tiffany. So I, you know,
• 54:59
  Speaker 6: I hope they figure Bailey. He's like even Bailey on
• 55:02
  Speaker 6: the Cody Roads Vodkas show, we're saying, hell, you know,
• 55:05
  Speaker 6: she wishes women have better storyline. I don't have to
• 55:07
  Speaker 6: be just around the belt, And I hope that from
• 55:12
  Speaker 6: this she can do something without the belt and prove
• 55:16
  Speaker 6: her point. So yeah, I think it's gonna.
• 55:19
  Speaker 5: Go to night.
• 55:22
  Speaker 2: Cool cool cool cool cool. All right, let's move on. Uh, actually, yes,
• 55:32
  Speaker 2: I want to. I have a question from our one
• 55:37
  Speaker 2: of our listeners that wrote into the show. I actually
• 55:40
  Speaker 2: have two of them. I want to try to sprinkle
• 55:42
  Speaker 2: them throughout the where they belong, so this one would
• 55:46
  Speaker 2: fit more for this match. Let me pull it up here.
• 55:52
  Speaker 2: It's we got one from Andrea. She wants to know
• 55:59
  Speaker 2: if we think that Dom is going to get involved
• 56:04
  Speaker 2: in this real live match, because next we have Live
• 56:08
  Speaker 2: uh Live Morgan versus ver Ripley for the World's Heavyweight title,
• 56:13
  Speaker 2: the women's world title. I I personally think uh Live
• 56:21
  Speaker 2: is I think Live's gonna walk out here with the title.
• 56:28
  Speaker 6: I don't.
• 56:28
  Speaker 2: I don't think Rida's gonna get it back. I know
• 56:30
  Speaker 2: that's what everybody thinks. Rees's is gonna come in and
• 56:33
  Speaker 2: wreck havoc. And Live looks like she's rock bottom right now.
• 56:36
  Speaker 2: She's depressed, and you know now she's a scorned woman.
• 56:42
  Speaker 2: But I think it's all plot because this could go
• 56:46
  Speaker 2: two ways. This could go two ways, gentlemen, Live and
• 56:50
  Speaker 2: Dom could be playing real the whole damn time. And
• 56:55
  Speaker 2: that's what I think a lot of people are expecting
• 56:58
  Speaker 2: for this twist. That's what I'm ex expecting to be honest,
• 57:01
  Speaker 2: that's the twist I'm expecting or.
• 57:03
  Speaker 6: Can I jump Can I jump in on this, jump
• 57:05
  Speaker 6: in on it?
• 57:06
  Speaker 2: Go ahead?
• 57:08
  Speaker 6: One hundred percent agree. I think Live is walking away
• 57:11
  Speaker 6: with the title. But here's why I don't think Ria
• 57:15
  Speaker 6: should get the title back this quickly after being gone
• 57:18
  Speaker 6: for so long, because that basically means all the storyline
• 57:20
  Speaker 6: that we've had up until now means nothing. And I
• 57:24
  Speaker 6: need to see Ria earn that title back, especially because
• 57:29
  Speaker 6: dom Dom is going to interfere on lives, you know,
• 57:33
  Speaker 6: and lives favor and this is going to tear the
• 57:35
  Speaker 6: Judgment Day apart, and this is going to be a
• 57:40
  Speaker 6: redemption tour for Ria and you know whoever she's paired
• 57:45
  Speaker 6: with from the Judgment Day. But I definitely see Finn
• 57:48
  Speaker 6: dom Domen live together.
• 57:50
  Speaker 2: I see something with Finn going on too, because she
• 57:52
  Speaker 2: wrecked the Judgment Day's playhouse and allegedly led. Yes, yes, allegedly,
• 58:02
  Speaker 2: But the finn Balor pictures were not ruined. They weren't
• 58:06
  Speaker 2: scratched at nothing. All the finn Baller things were were. Okay,
• 58:10
  Speaker 2: I thought that was a little odd, but these are
• 58:13
  Speaker 2: little things. They could have been sprinkling, like, oh, whatever
• 58:15
  Speaker 2: happened to the hotel key? Hmm, you know, like we
• 58:19
  Speaker 2: have all these I'm sure they'll play back and this
• 58:22
  Speaker 2: whole time, you know, maybe, Uh it's Finn and JD
• 58:28
  Speaker 2: McDonough and they're all playing. They're playing Damien and Rhea
• 58:32
  Speaker 2: and you know, Dom, like you, you know, you lost
• 58:36
  Speaker 2: focus of what was important, you know, I could, Like
• 58:40
  Speaker 2: I said, I I feel like there's a civil war
• 58:42
  Speaker 2: coming between Judgment Day and and having Carlito and Live
• 58:47
  Speaker 2: Morgan in it. It's just more people in it, involved
• 58:50
  Speaker 2: in this. And I think we're gonna have a face
• 58:54
  Speaker 2: group of of Rhea and and Damian Priest. And I'm
• 59:00
  Speaker 2: not I know with Dre we talked about this. I'm
• 59:02
  Speaker 2: not saying Dom's gonna be a face I'm just saying
• 59:05
  Speaker 2: that Dom being with Ria satisfies the fans. We're still
• 59:11
  Speaker 2: gonna boo the fuck out of him, but I think
• 59:14
  Speaker 2: we would rather see him side with Ria than go
• 59:18
  Speaker 2: to the other direction. But yeah, I think Live's gonna
• 59:21
  Speaker 2: walk out though, uh playing supple, I think Live's gonna
• 59:26
  Speaker 2: walk out. Like you said, I think it is too
• 59:28
  Speaker 2: soon for Riha to come back and gain the belt
• 59:31
  Speaker 2: so quickly. Ah, I think there's gonna be a lot
• 59:35
  Speaker 2: of Judgment Shiller judgmentation Atkins in this uh. And to
• 59:40
  Speaker 2: answer answer Andrea's question is, yes, I think Dom is
• 59:43
  Speaker 2: gonna be involved in this for sure. Uh. Dre do
• 59:48
  Speaker 2: you think Donald's gonna be involved? Dude? Do you think
• 59:50
  Speaker 2: He's gonna win this match? With these things leaving with
• 59:53
  Speaker 2: the Women's World Championship.
• 59:56
  Speaker 3: One. Yes, Dom is absolutely gonna be involved in this matter.
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 3: There's no doubt about that whatsoever. Two. Liv Morgan is
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 3: walking out as champion. I also agree with that for
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 3: the reasons that were previously stated. Yes, I think it's
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 3: too early to put the title back on Rhea, and
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 3: yes she just comes back and immediately gains her title back. Then, yes,
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 3: you have kind of squandered months of storytelling build up
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 3: just for it to end like that. There doesn't leave
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 3: any direction for it to go. And obviously there's plenty
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 3: of more story to be told here. So and that
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 3: only happens if Liv remains champion and Ria is still
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 3: in the chase to regain what she has lost. Now
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 3: that being said, for the longest time, and I've put
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 3: it out there that I believed Dom was going to
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 3: turn on Ria inside would live, and I thought that
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 3: that turn was going to be magnificent, especially after he
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 3: cut the promo. He did this what last Monday on
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 3: Raw where he basically told Live, I don't like you.
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 3: I don't you know, I hate you, YadA YadA. I
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 3: was like, oh, all that double cross is going to
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 3: be Chef's kiss, just whah. But since then, I've kind
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 3: of thought about it a bit, And while I still
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 3: kind of sort of think they're leaning that way, I
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 3: think you all have touched on it a bit. I
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 3: think there is a slight window of opportunity for it
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 3: to go another route, and that they could be swerving
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 3: us completely in another direction, and that maybe Finn Balor
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 3: is the one, in fact, who winds up showing up,
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 3: Like maybe Dom shows up to you know, help Riha
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 3: or whatever. They may be teased that perhaps, uh he
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 3: maybe he's gonna double cross or something like that. But
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 3: then maybe Finn Balor is the one who shows up,
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 3: and he's the one who size would live and helps
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 3: Live retain the title, and then perhaps we do end
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 3: up in a thing where you know, Live and Live
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 3: and Finn are thing versus Ria and Dom, and I
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 3: probably I wouldn't have gone for this if it wasn't
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 3: for the fact that the fans, probably for the first
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 3: time in a long time or ever or no, in
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 3: a long time, actually kind of cheered Dom when he
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 3: ripped on when he totally went off on Live. Yeah,
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 3: he gotta be actually got cheers for it, which made
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 3: me think that maybe there is a window for Dom
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 3: to actually be cheered by the fans via his association
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 3: and with Ria if it plays out that way, if
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 3: it plays out that he is the one loyal to
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 3: Rea while somebody else does the double crossing. Mm hm,
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 3: that that may be the possibility, but and it'll be
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 3: very interesting to see how it is. Either way, Live
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 3: is going to retain because somebody is going to betray Ria.
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 3: The big question I think is is it going to
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 3: be Domb or is it going to be Fenn?
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Doyle, do you feel the same way? Do you
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 2: feel like this is gonna.
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 1: Be all kind of we've we've all kind of arrived
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 1: on the same block, but in slightly different houses.
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 7: Because I'm agreeing with most of you, most of kind
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 7: of a conglomerate of what all of you have said.
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 1: This feud has been really really well done, you know,
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 1: and and not unlike Drew who praised quite a bit.
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 1: I think we are also give Live a lot of
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 1: credit for keeping a feud alive that couldn't go to
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 1: the ring for an indeterminate amount of time, and that's
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 1: that's no small, small task, you know, just going with
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 1: the eyeball test, right, Live Morgan has no fucking chance
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 1: and hell against rheoply right, all right? But yeah, you know,
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 1: of course the big question is Dom. What's gonna happen
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 1: with Dom?
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 7: I really think the question is will he deliberately help
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 7: Live Morgan or will he accidentally on purpose help Live Morgan.
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 7: I'm leaning towards the ladder.
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 1: I think if I know anything about Triple H's booking style,
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 1: I don't think at the end of this match we're
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 1: gonna know where Dom whose side Dom is on.
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 7: As as as we go off the air. I think
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 7: that's going to be a lingering question still going forward,
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 7: and I'm not sure you guys have all kind of
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 7: hint said it. I'm not sure it'll.
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 1: Show itself in this match, but going forward that Finn
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 1: Balor is definitely has something to do with something, right
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 1: He's a snake in.
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 7: The grass, remains to be seen. What though, I don't know.
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure if Finn gets involved in this match,
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 1: but we might later find out that he was behind
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 1: something the whole time, or or he and Live have
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 1: been conspiring this whole time, or I'm not sure. I
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 1: think where it'll be a going mystery, what where, where
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 1: Dom's head is really at, or what he thinks.
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 7: Is going on.
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 1: I think he's probably getting played too. But yeah, I
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 1: think Live's gonna retain, but the feud will certainly continue,
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 1: and ultimately, of course Mommy will be on top.
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 2: Sweet true. How do you feel, buddy, Well, I mean.
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 6: I already said my piece earlier, but yeah, I believe
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 6: I agree with Jordan and Grace. She said this on Twitter.
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 6: This should have been a custody for dom Dom latter match.
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 6: That's what I was hoping for. I think that's been
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 6: a great legacy called back. Obviously there's a comedic element
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 6: to it, hoping I think so. Yeah, I think, yeah,
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 6: I think I think that was an incredible callback and
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 6: you know, a nice comedic element to it. But yeah,
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 6: I think Finn is the true manipulator. Dom Dom is
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 6: too clumsy to figure this out. I do think dom
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 6: Dom will interfere, but I think it's I think Finn
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 6: is the true instigator to break it, to break up
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 6: the judgment day. But I I one hundred percent live
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 6: walking out the title. Like I said, this is too
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 6: soon for Ria to get it back. I need to
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 6: see her work for it. Planet simple.
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 13: Awesome, dude, I like it? Uh cool. Let's move on
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 13: to the next match. Here we got Sammy Zaying, the
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 13: Intercontinent champion versus again bron Breaker, the guy who I
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 13: thought for sure would have put it away at the
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 13: last paper review.
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 2: But nope, nope, nope, nope. Somehow that man wasn't able
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 2: to connect with a spear last paper review, And here
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 2: we are again. Now I don't know where to go
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 2: with this. I'm assuming bron Breaker is gonna get it
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 2: this time, or am I a fool? Or am I
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 2: gosh dang fool. I think he's just been pushed and
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 2: pushed and pushed, and I mean it's gotta be a payoff,
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 2: right Uh. I just don't understand the booking though, of
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 2: Like why didn't you give it to him last pay
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 2: per view? Why why did we have to drag it
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 2: out to SummerSlam and wait or find somebody between pay
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 2: per views? I don't know. I just like if this
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 2: was his first time against Sammy Zean, this would have
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 2: been a good title win. But yeah, I'm just gonna
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 2: go with bron Breaker, Drey, How excited are you for
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 2: this match?
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 7: Man?
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 3: This is probably the least interesting match on the card,
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 3: enthusiasm very It doesn't have much storyline build up to it, right,
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 3: I mean it's really just been bron Breaker is the
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 3: the up and coming guy, the uh well yeah, the
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 3: upcoming guy that is getting the heavy push, who's the
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 3: you know, run through the roster monster guy who got
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 3: a little too brash and a little too overconfident and
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 3: ran up against the veteran who put him in his
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 3: place for at least one match. So generally, the natural
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 3: progression would be that if ron Breaker is really like that,
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 3: then he learns from his mistake, comes back the second
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 3: time around and defeats Sammy's Ain to become the champion,
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 3: and that's probably where it's gonna go. He's gonna be
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 3: They'll probably have a good match, but he'll be the
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 3: guy who learned from his mistakes the first time, comes
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 3: back more serious, more focused, and takes down samy'se Ain
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 3: and becomes in a Continental champion which is kind of
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 3: a bit of a shame for Sammy's Ain. I know
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 3: that may be weird coming from me, given what I've
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 3: had to say about the guy for the last couple
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 3: of months, But last few weeks he seems to have
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 3: finally really owned his position as a champion. You know,
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 3: he's cut a few promos that for the first time,
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 3: maybe actually look at him and see him as a
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 3: champion and not just a guy holding a belt, little
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 3: bona fide champion with some some stature and some status.
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 3: And now it's probably all about to come to winning.
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 3: So you know, it is what it is. But yeah,
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 3: bron Breaker is probably gonna win and he will hold
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 3: the title for who knows how long.
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 7: Yeah, Are you feeling the same way, buddy, Yeah, I'm
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 7: pretty sure that.
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 1: On the Money in the Bank preview, I said that, uh,
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 1: Sammy was gonna win the first match and then lose
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 1: the rematch at SummerSlam.
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 7: Uh, And here we are, it's the rematch of SummerSlam. Uh.
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 1: I mean my feelings really have not changed. Everybody knows
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 1: I love Sammy's Ain.
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 1: I think I made my feelings about mister Breaker pretty
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 1: well known.
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 7: Also, I assumed to be in the minority.
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 1: But you know, like I said about Gunther, he kind
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 1: of also bron Breaker I'm talking about seems inevitable, right,
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 1: And I think Sammy's credibility it doesn't slip one iota
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 1: if he loses this match to bron Breaker, And I
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 1: don't think I think bron Breaker's credibility will be substantially
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 1: hurt if he loses again to Sammy's a.
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 7: But beyond that, Sammy and Jay are backing each other's
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 7: or a bit.
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 1: Uh you know, I think they're probably both gearing up
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 1: for the Bloodline civil war that's coming, and I don't
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 1: think the Icy title needs to be into that mix
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 1: at all. So probably best to get Sammy off of
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 1: that and we can get to get to get to
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 1: get the family feud. And as they say, so, yeah,
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 1: I think Breaker takes it all.
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 2: Right, Drew you on the same page with all of us, Yes.
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 6: And no, I mean, well yes in bron Breaker. But
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 6: here's why I listening to the controversial part. I have
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 6: not liked Sammy's since he left the Indis. I am
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 6: a huge fan of his work with Young Kevin Owens
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 6: l Jenerico. I mean, if if you're gonna ask me
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 6: what to me one of the greatest moves in wrestling.
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 6: I'm a big I love any spike move, but the
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 6: top rope brainbuster is one of my favorite wrestling moves
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 6: in all of ww history. That being said, I wanted
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 6: we Man to scoop slam sammy's Ain and pin him.
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 6: I was rooting for john I was rotten for Johnny Maxwell,
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 6: and I don't like Sammy's Ain's gimmick. He's the fans
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 6: love him. He's got a great energy, but I think
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 6: that energy is coming off of ja Usso's fandom, It's
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 6: not coming from sammy's Ain himself. I want Brown Breaker
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 6: to win because I want this title to be with
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 6: a younger generation. This should have gone there should have
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 6: been Honestly, this should have been Illia Dragon Off versus Samisay,
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 6: not Brown Breaker. I think that's the bigger feud, and
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 6: I'd rather see this as a triple threat triple threat
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 6: with like Carmelo Hayes as well, but between bron Ilia
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 6: and Carmelo Hayes like I'm ready for. I've never liked
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 6: this title with samu's Ay. I'm glad he took it
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 6: off of gun there, but I don't think it should
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 6: have gone to Samsey.
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 2: I think.
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 3: Talk your ship, King, Yeah yeah, all right, could we
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 3: can talk about that ship forever?
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 2: Uh?
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 6: Next, I'm hoping I've provided a different perspective. You know, it's.
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 3: For sure somebody finally preaching the gospel on samuse in
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 3: around here.
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 2: Now a match I thought we should have had at Somnia.
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 2: We're finally now getting in a SummerSlam Logan Paul our
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 2: champ or a niceties champion versus l A. Knight. Yeah no,
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 2: uh yeah, I mean I think this is it. I
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 2: think Logan Paul is done, man. I think I think
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 2: he's not gonna be able to weasel his way out
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 2: of this one. I feel like Ellie Knight's finally gonna
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 2: get that W he deserves. He couldn't get himself in
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 2: that King of the Ring tournament, couldn't win the Rumble,
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 2: he couldn't win the briefcase, he couldn't beat Roman Reigns.
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 2: This man needs a W and this is it. This
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 2: is the W that he needs to stay elevated and
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 2: becoming a niceties champion that we deserve somebody you know
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 2: who's gonna defend it more than two times. I mean,
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 2: come on, I'm all for ell A Knight winning this.
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 2: I don't see unless we have another person of Logan
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 2: Paul's of interest interfere again. I just I don't see
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 2: why Ella and Knight and be walking out with the title. Dre,
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 2: do you feel the same way.
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they've milked pretty much all the celebrity you know,
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 3: all the celebrity juice they could out of Logan Paul
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 3: as US champion. It's gone stale, it's gone boring, it's
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 3: nothing else to do with it. And he is, you know,
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 3: he's kind of put his foot in his mouth the
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 3: last couple of weeks as well, so you know he
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 3: might be getting a little uh, you know, a little
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 3: bit unfavorable in some of the corporate eyes at w
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 3: W going down. Yeah. Yeah. And also, like we've said,
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 3: US title has been defended only twice since he won it.
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 3: That's beyond pathetic. And yeah, they need to start.
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 1: That.
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 3: If that belts to have any type of credibility or
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 3: status to it, it needs to start being actually seen
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 3: and defended on television. So it needs to be in
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 3: the hands of somebody who's actually going to be on
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 3: TV on a regular basis doing the work and defending
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 3: the title. And from LA Knight's perspective, now, you know,
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 3: as much as I mentioned Logan Paul's celebrity status as
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 3: champion is run his course, l A. Knight's status as
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 3: being the high commodity. If he's to have any of
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 3: that left to him, he damn well better freaking win
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 3: this title. Yeah, because if he challenges this and then
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 3: comes up short and loses, I mean, kiss all the momentum, goodbye,
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 3: at least all his credibility, and now he's just the
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 3: guy who just comes up there, talks crap and gives catchphrases,
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 3: but can't get the job done when he counts.
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 2: It's his ash.
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he needs it for his own credibility. So yeah,
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 3: this will be the crowning achievement that we thought we
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 3: were going to get at WrestleMania, but happens at SummerSlam.
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 3: Is l A. Knight finally as United States Champion?
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 7: Ye man, I think we've.
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 1: Been booking this match since the minute Logan Paul won
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 1: the title, I know, talking about Oh yeah, La Knight's
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 1: gonna be in it for it.
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 7: I think we've expected this back at WrestleMania.
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 1: You know, and now here we are two defenses later
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 1: and how many months long.
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 7: You know, with the longest rated champion of the company.
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 1: I mean I've staunchly defended Logan Paul the wrestler on
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 1: this very program many times.
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 7: Uh, but we've.
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 1: Gotten all we're going to get out of this. We've
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 1: squeezed all the juice we're gonna get out of this.
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 7: Leven, I don't know much about Logan Paul the non wrestler.
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 1: I know he uh stepped in a little bit, but uh,
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 1: you know, he's been trading the fucking title with Patrick Mahomes.
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 1: He's been taking it to interview pumpkinheaded dipshits that happened
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 1: to be WWEE Hall of.
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 7: Famers that remain nameless.
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 1: I think they were waiting for his idiot brother to
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 1: fight Mike Tyson so he could come out holding that.
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 1: And now that that fight I think is off right.
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 1: Uh Yeah, it's time to get get the title out
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 1: of there. Yeah, And I mean it's shitting it off
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 1: the toilet time with not Logan Paul, with l A.
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 3: Knight.
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 7: You know, in my opinion, doing this too late.
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 1: I think his popularity has already peaked hopefully there'll be
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 1: some benefit from putting this title on him, hoping he'll
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 1: have a nice, strong run and turning around. And I
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 1: mean maybe a stated moment like this has to happen
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 1: in a stadium, you know, uh to you know, make
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 1: it seem that much bigger and that much more important,
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 1: uh D In Logan Paul's hometown.
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 7: I don't think we've mentioned that.
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, but.
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it is absolutely time to pull the
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 1: trigger on on l a night, because if they don't
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 1: fucking do it here, they're never gonna.
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true, that's so true. Ah sure, do you
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 2: feel the same way as Doyle?
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, yeah, it's it's it's it's time for
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 6: Logan Paul to walk away. He impresses me every time
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 6: he's in the ring. I know he's getting very specific
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 6: training to be to look at the pressive. I mean,
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 6: come on that that frog splash to the Anounts table
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 6: was at the rib cage to rib cage, you know,
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 6: with ricochet was incredible. I think he's got great situational
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 6: awareness as a wrestler. But man, I I am so
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 6: on the side of l A.
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 3: Knight.
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 6: I do agree with Doyle that his his uh you know,
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 6: the fan love is kind of peeking. So this is
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 6: a very interesting time. But here's the reason I want
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 6: l A Knight to win, not be not for La Night.
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 6: And this is gonna sound a little crazy and outlandish,
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 6: but I want to see a carrying cross push and
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 6: I want to see Ella Knight versus carrying Cross. And
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 6: I want to see carrying Cross come out on top.
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 6: I'm a huge carrying Cross fan. I think he's great
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 6: on my mic.
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 3: They do exist and uh, you know, you know.
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 6: I think I enjoy watching Eli right wrestle. But if
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 6: I have to see I show speed one more fucking time,
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 6: I'm gonna the internet and half like I. I cannot
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 6: stand the people like the like those quote unquote influencers
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 6: in this space. It can he takes me out of it, yep,
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 6: and I and it just it kills it kills the
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 6: you know, the k fave aspect for me. That be said,
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 6: I think Ellen I also needs to change his boots.
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 6: I don't know what the hell's going on. Why are
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 6: his ankles smaller than the boots? It makes no sense.
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 6: They look like they're gonna fall right off his feet.
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 2: No, I never noticed that, but I gotta keep an
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 2: eye off for that now.
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 6: So yeah, all this is I want Ella Knight to win,
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 6: but for what happens next and who challenges him, that's why.
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 3: H all right, so all this so you want l
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 3: A Knight to win the title so you can get
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 3: an l A Knight carrying cross for.
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 6: You, bingo ringo. That's exactly.
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 3: Even though ones on SmackDown.
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 2: And the others on Raw, he's like, we'll get there,
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 2: We'll get there, eventually.
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 6: Get there. I just I love Elliant's or his energy.
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 6: You know, Logan has impressed me. But you know, but
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 6: again I grit Toyle like it might be too late
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 6: for you know, for Night to hold on to it.
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 6: But I think.
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 7: He was.
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 1: He was, he was getting such reactions and then they didn't.
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 1: They just didn't pull the dragger, didn't pull the drago,
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 1: didn't pull the dragger, didn't pull the drag, and fans
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 1: move on.
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 6: Yep, exactly, yes, sir.
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 2: Two more matches left, guys, uh yeah, surprisingly, two more matches.
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 2: All right, I'm gonna do this one. First, we're gonna
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 2: do the Sampong versus Drew McIntyre with Seth freaking rons
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 2: as the special special guest referee. Now, this is the
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 2: only match on this card that has no title involved,
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 2: But I said before, it's the one I'm most anticipated for,
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 2: the one I think a lot of people are. It
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 2: has been cooking since the Royal Rumble, and you know,
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 2: when Punk got injured, I thought this few would have
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 2: been dead in the water. But boy, oh boy, oh boy,
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 2: they found a way to keep this feud interesting hot,
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 2: and even with the tension between Seth Rollins and both
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 2: of these guys, they found a way to put all
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 2: three of these guys involved in the same match. But
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 2: I I was thinking, and Doyle, I don't know if
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 2: you're thinking the same thing. Two wrestlers in a match
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 2: who hate each other, and we got special guest referee
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 2: who they also hate. We got three guys who aged
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 2: eighteen ninety seven, Summer Slam Undertaker versus Brett Hart with
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 2: Sean Michaelson's the guest referee. Doyle, are we gonna get
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 2: a finish like that?
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 1: Because I think we'll probably get that exact fa finished.
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't be surprised because I like the fact if
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 2: they dig back down into some old school storylines and
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 2: seeing really who who kind of gets it, and how
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 2: it kind of ended was uh uh. Brett went and
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 2: spit in Sean Michael's face, and Sean was holding a
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 2: chair and Sean took because Brett had the chair. Sean
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 2: took the chair from Brett and then you know, somebody
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 2: spit in your face. So he goes to swing and
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 2: it was such good timing that he hit you know,
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 2: he ducked out of the way and he hit the Undertaker,
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 2: knocked him out. Brett Hart pulls him away from the rope,
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 2: Smart just covers him right, and Sean's like, I gotta
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 2: do my fucking job because he does the one two
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 2: and then there's a hesitation. It's like three, like you know,
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 2: he's got to do it. And yeah, we could get
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 2: the same playout here. It's just that who does what,
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 2: who plays? Who's the guy who spits in whose face?
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 2: Who's the guy that Seth takes out with a with
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 2: a super kick or something?
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 6: You know?
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 2: But I really want Punk to win this, right, that's
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 2: in my heart. That's why I want to win this.
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 2: But Drew is on a heel streak like none other
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 2: in his career, and that guy has been screwed over
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 2: multiple times, multiple times by seeing Punk, So I know
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 2: it'd be so sweet for him to finally get his
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 2: revenge on Punk. But yeah, maybe that's exactly how it's
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 2: gonna play out though, Like maybe Punk's gonna screw Drew
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 2: over one more time with that finish, and Punk's gonna
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 2: walk out the winter. So I'm gonna go with Punk.
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 1: Punks have a history of almost doing cover versions of
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 1: wrestling matches, you know, just the good ones, doing five
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 1: minute verbatim sequences, you.
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 2: Know, Yeah, yeah, Doyle, We're gonna go on a little
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 2: bait of oil order for this one. Doyle, what do
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 2: you think, man Like? Are you agreeing with me on this?
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 6: Well?
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 1: First of all, you know, we think we've been saying it,
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 1: but kudos to Drew for keeping this going.
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 7: Man right the.
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 1: Way, By the way, three thousand, eight hundred and forty
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 1: eight days will be the amount of time since Cmpunk's
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 1: last televised one on one match in WWE was on
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 1: January twentieth, twenty fourteen.
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 7: I got the year right this time over a decade ago.
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 7: Does anyone know who he wrestled.
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 2: His last match active today on the ww roster?
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 7: They are not on the WWE roster.
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 2: Is it do Sigler? No, they're not on the w
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 2: W rosster, but they're still active.
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 6: Can I just say, I would love with the with
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 6: the t A cross offer we're getting right now, I
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 6: would I would kill to see Nick Neamouth show up
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 6: and get a belt in n x T. I think
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 6: that would be the funniest thing on this planet. And
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 6: I think I think it's deserved because okay.
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 7: Well we'll just go on. It was it was Billy Gunn.
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 3: Two points through. That would be funny. But I don't
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 3: see w W non w Yeah.
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 7: And then and they should send they should send to
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 7: A J to t n A probably too. It's a
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 7: whole nother discussion. Uh yeah, the only non title match
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 7: on the card. It's crazy.
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 1: We the last couple of matches rather pay per views
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 1: have been kind of short on title matches.
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 7: Now we have a whole ship ton of them and
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 7: one match over a bracelet.
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 1: Do we ever get uh storyline answer to who who
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 1: made this bracelet?
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 7: Did Punk make it? Did AJ make it? Did Larry
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 7: make it? I think, I mean, I think the.
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 3: Most I don't think they've given us a storyline on
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 3: who made the bracelet? They just focused on the names
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 3: on it and what it means to see him Punk.
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 7: I mean, it's so stupid.
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 3: I think.
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 7: I think the answer is probably some intern probably made it.
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 2: No, I think I think he got it from a fan,
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 2: to be honest. I think it's a fan who gave
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 2: it to him.
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, I mean with Seth Rollins in the HBK
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 1: from ninety seven role here, Yeah, I mean, I wouldn't
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 1: wouldn't surprise me and of if we get the exact
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 1: exact finish we got, you know, there were whereas Punk
• 1:28:45
  Speaker 1: finally finally gets Seth pissed off enough that he goes
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 1: to kick somebody and he kicks through instead and he
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 1: has to count them the victory for Punk. I think
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 1: we're gonna get every version of these.
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 7: Three for the next couple of months.
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 1: We're gonna get Seth and Punk and Seth and Drew,
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 1: and probably a triple threat match i'd like to see.
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 1: Maybe we haven't seen a Hell on the Cell for
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 1: a while, so that might be something to look forward
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 1: to out of these two. Maybe bad Blood for a
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 1: Hell on the Cell might be kind of cool, But anyway,
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 1: that's getting ahead of ourselves.
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 3: I think.
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 7: Uh, yeah, I mean, I I just I'm sorry, I'm muttering. Yeah,
• 1:29:34
  Speaker 7: I mean, Drew has been the MVP of this whole thing.
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 7: I think we've really kissed his aid enough though.
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if if it was
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 1: the exact same finish from somebviously in ninety seven, I think,
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 1: And I think Punk has to win his first match
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 1: in over a decade, right, So yeah, I think Punk
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 1: will win, but it will be highly controversial.
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 2: Trey, do you what do you think?
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 3: Bud? Yeah, I'll be honest, I had no idea where
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 3: this match was going to go until you all said
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 3: brought up the SummerSlam ninety seven thing. And now that
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 3: seems very plausible and arguably even likely, given that we
• 1:30:22
  Speaker 3: know how much you know Triple H and some of
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 3: the guys. But there are students of history and such,
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 3: and this would be far enough removed that people won't
• 1:30:36
  Speaker 3: remember it. But you know, those hardcore so it could
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 3: feel like something fresh. But those hardcore fans who.
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 7: Are right, yeah, it's gonna be something else.
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 3: Right, but it could be something similar to that where
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 3: it could feel like something fresh. But again, the hardcore people,
• 1:30:58
  Speaker 3: you know history, but will be like, oh, that's the
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 3: Summer Slam ninety seven finished all over again, but you know,
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 3: remixed or whatever for twenty twenty four or however they
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 3: want to.
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we call those guys, you fucking.
• 1:31:11
  Speaker 3: Mark, Yes, right, So, I mean it could definitely go
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 3: that route, right And you know, if if we were
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 3: to follow that line of thought, who's the person that
• 1:31:22
  Speaker 3: winds up that would wind up getting screwed? I could
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 3: see it being Drew, you know, Phunk coming back. You know,
• 1:31:29
  Speaker 3: he needs a good, solid win under his belt because
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 3: he ain't had too many well, he ain't had too
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 3: many matches periods since he came back, so he does
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 3: need the credibility of a solid win. Drew has shown
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 3: that he can take L's and be unaffected. And since
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 3: Drew his kind of even though he's been very douchey,
• 1:31:50
  Speaker 3: he still feels like he's somewhat on the cusp of
• 1:31:54
  Speaker 3: a babyface turn. It just takes she needs, uh, you know,
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 3: a slight push one direction or the other, and he
• 1:32:04
  Speaker 3: could very just as easily be a babyface or a heel.
• 1:32:08
  Speaker 3: You know, he can very easily just go back and forth,
• 1:32:10
  Speaker 3: and it could very just depending on who his opponent is.
• 1:32:13
  Speaker 3: In the moment and how he could play it so
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 3: I could see and and Seth has had a long
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 3: enough babyface run that he might be poised to, you know,
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 3: flip back the heel towards the heel route, you know,
• 1:32:27
  Speaker 3: And somehow you've got to get that going one way
• 1:32:30
  Speaker 3: or the other, especially if you're building towards Punk and
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 3: Seth at some point, and I'm pretty sure they kind
• 1:32:38
  Speaker 3: of still want to maintain a bit of a heel
• 1:32:41
  Speaker 3: face dynamic.
• 1:32:43
  Speaker 7: I would love to see Seth turn tearing heel again.
• 1:32:46
  Speaker 3: Right, And that's the most And that's another interesting thing
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 3: about all three of these guys, is all three of
• 1:32:51
  Speaker 3: them at any moment could go one way or the other,
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 3: of them deciding, Okay, we're gonna you're gonna go you know,
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 3: you're gonna stay faced and you're gonna YadA YadA whatever.
• 1:33:02
  Speaker 3: But like like we said, it could go either route.
• 1:33:05
  Speaker 3: But I think if I had to put money on it,
• 1:33:09
  Speaker 3: I think Drew is the one poised to switch face.
• 1:33:13
  Speaker 3: I think Seth is poised to go here, and I
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 3: think Punk will remain a bit of a face at
• 1:33:19
  Speaker 3: for now. So following the storyline that y'all are presented
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 3: I think Seth ends up costing Drew again and Punks
• 1:33:34
  Speaker 3: gets the win, and then we get a hellified Drew
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 3: Seth feud moving forward at least going into the fall,
• 1:33:44
  Speaker 3: because then't because did the for a freshman memory? Did
• 1:33:48
  Speaker 3: the Shawn Michaels Undertaker uh, well sewn scoring Undertaker? Did
• 1:33:54
  Speaker 3: that lead to the Hell in the Cell match?
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 2: So I don't remember when that because I remember he
• 1:34:05
  Speaker 2: screwed him over at the elimination Chamber. He climbed out
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 2: the chamber and super kick Taker and he lost his
• 1:34:10
  Speaker 2: world title alright, and then that's I think maybe then
• 1:34:15
  Speaker 2: that maybe in the year that they did the Hell
• 1:34:16
  Speaker 2: on the Cell and now.
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 3: Helen the Son originally in nineteen ninety seven.
• 1:34:23
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, they were first introduced.
• 1:34:26
  Speaker 3: As Bad Blood October nineteen ninety seven, so wouldn't have
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 3: been too long after Summer Slam. Yeah, it was ninety seven,
• 1:34:34
  Speaker 3: So yeah, I think I think it did eventually, Well,
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 3: it might not directly led to it, like obviously like
• 1:34:39
  Speaker 3: SummerSlam didn't follow up with Helen's Cell, but I think
• 1:34:43
  Speaker 3: it did culminate in that. Maybe history repeats itself maybe,
• 1:34:51
  Speaker 3: although no, I mean, we had a good hell to
• 1:34:53
  Speaker 3: sell manch in a while and again these these three
• 1:34:58
  Speaker 3: guys right here with the amount of hatred. And oddly enough,
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 3: it was first introduced Sunday, October fifth, nineteen ninety seven.
• 1:35:08
  Speaker 3: Guess what pay per view it was?
• 1:35:09
  Speaker 2: What these motherfuckers got bad blood?
• 1:35:16
  Speaker 3: Maybe they need something. I mean, if they're bringing back
• 1:35:19
  Speaker 3: the name, they kind of wouldn't hurt if they If
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 3: they're just gonna completely retread this, we get a hell
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 3: in the cell. Maybe Drew versus Seth.
• 1:35:30
  Speaker 12: Maybe yeah, yeah, yeah, Drew.
• 1:35:33
  Speaker 2: What do you think, buddy?
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 6: Okay, so yeah, this is outside the box thinking. I'm
• 1:35:38
  Speaker 6: gonna fast some things out. You guys here. I've been
• 1:35:41
  Speaker 6: in Drew's corner for god knows how long. I think,
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 6: like when he won the Tell the Dome and no
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 6: one was there to like a chance, you know, teremum
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 6: especial when he lost to Roman and Class at the
• 1:35:52
  Speaker 6: Clash of the Castle. I you know, do the Drew,
• 1:35:55
  Speaker 6: whether it's the namesake, I think it's an incredible wrestler.
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 6: One of my favorite matches of all time was the
• 1:36:01
  Speaker 6: Triple Match, the Triple Thread of Gunther, Shamis and McIntyre.
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 6: I love that and uh, you know, like, you know,
• 1:36:13
  Speaker 6: Drew getting shopped to hell and like just melting off
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 6: the side, you know, off the apron. I thought it
• 1:36:17
  Speaker 6: was hilarious. But that's one of my favorite matches all
• 1:36:20
  Speaker 6: the time. And uh, you know, for me, this is
• 1:36:22
  Speaker 6: a psychological journey for Drew. It's about him going out
• 1:36:26
  Speaker 6: of his own way and he gives him making the
• 1:36:28
  Speaker 6: wrong decision and Punk is always ready to you know,
• 1:36:32
  Speaker 6: fuck him up right right at those moments. And so
• 1:36:35
  Speaker 6: this is about Drew kind of finding that peace within
• 1:36:38
  Speaker 6: himself to get past all that bullshit and you know,
• 1:36:41
  Speaker 6: do that win. This is where I I am not
• 1:36:46
  Speaker 6: a fan of Seth. I especially after the Mattress spot
• 1:36:53
  Speaker 6: I think you should stay retired or you know, for
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 6: a while. You know, I think there's other wrestlers that
• 1:36:58
  Speaker 6: deserve that spotlight. The only reason I think, uh, and
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 6: this is just my personal belief. The only reason I
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 6: think Seth is involved. It was just in case Punk
• 1:37:10
  Speaker 6: was not medically cleared. So so so Seth could just
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 6: like slip in and you know, continue to be you know,
• 1:37:17
  Speaker 6: there is a few. But here's the thing I think
• 1:37:20
  Speaker 6: Punk lost when he did not apologize to Seth. That's
• 1:37:25
  Speaker 6: where I think Punk lost this particular match because I
• 1:37:29
  Speaker 6: think Seth is going to ref in favor of Drew.
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 6: I Wandrew all the way, but that, you know, I
• 1:37:37
  Speaker 6: think to everyone's point, though, I think this could go anyway,
• 1:37:40
  Speaker 6: and I'll be fine with the results because I think Punk,
• 1:37:43
  Speaker 6: you know, it's it's great to see Punk finally being
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 6: a team player, you know, in the locker room, and
• 1:37:49
  Speaker 6: you know, finally being happy with his you know, his status,
• 1:37:52
  Speaker 6: and you know how he's you know, being able to
• 1:37:55
  Speaker 6: mentor the young people and still kind of be considered
• 1:37:57
  Speaker 6: a classic. But man, I am so ready for Drew
• 1:38:02
  Speaker 6: to walk with that, even there's no belt involved. I
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 6: just want him to be of sound mind when he
• 1:38:07
  Speaker 6: walks away from this match, and you know, as the winner.
• 1:38:10
  Speaker 6: That's what I want.
• 1:38:12
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, I'm so anticipating this match, Like I'm
• 1:38:16
  Speaker 2: so excited. I'm anticipating nothing.
• 1:38:20
  Speaker 7: Well here's the question.
• 1:38:21
  Speaker 1: What I mean, I know what we're going to talk
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 1: about last, but what match is going to go last?
• 1:38:26
  Speaker 1: I mean, I would argue that the match he's probably
• 1:38:29
  Speaker 1: gonna go last is.
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 7: Not the hottest, is the third hottest?
• 1:38:33
  Speaker 2: I know, I know I expect.
• 1:38:35
  Speaker 6: It's going it's gonna be Cody and Sullipy's Romans probably
• 1:38:38
  Speaker 6: going to show up at the end of the match.
• 1:38:41
  Speaker 7: But I mean, like, I think there's way more heat
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 7: than the Livery.
• 1:38:44
  Speaker 1: Match and and in the Punk Droom match.
• 1:38:48
  Speaker 6: I'd love to see women. I would love to see
• 1:38:50
  Speaker 6: women as a main event, though I would at Money
• 1:38:53
  Speaker 6: in the Bank. The women's ladder match was the best
• 1:38:56
  Speaker 6: match of that entire evening.
• 1:38:59
  Speaker 2: Oh absolutely, I think.
• 1:39:01
  Speaker 3: If we're talking audience investment, If we're talking audience investment,
• 1:39:04
  Speaker 3: then definitely the ones that that that that's obviously drew
• 1:39:09
  Speaker 3: in Seth and Punk, followed by dom Live and Rhea
• 1:39:14
  Speaker 3: and Cody and Bloodline a distant third. Like that's real.
• 1:39:19
  Speaker 3: The only reason why people are interested in the Cody
• 1:39:22
  Speaker 3: Bloodline thing is because they're waiting for Roman to come back.
• 1:39:26
  Speaker 3: And that you know, that was pretty much drilled in
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 3: this past uh Friday on SmackDown when we had what
• 1:39:35
  Speaker 3: was it that the the the tag team Turmoil thing
• 1:39:42
  Speaker 3: where uh jacobatu and and Toma Tongo secured the number
• 1:39:47
  Speaker 3: one contenders thing after having you know, once against Grown
• 1:39:51
  Speaker 3: over the Street Profits and Ship but you know, after
• 1:39:54
  Speaker 3: they ran it and then obviously they came out last
• 1:39:57
  Speaker 3: and stuff, but there was like no investment in the
• 1:40:01
  Speaker 3: actual tag team Turmoil thing. Seth. I mean, the street
• 1:40:05
  Speaker 3: profits were running this gauntlet, doing this thing, Birk busting
• 1:40:09
  Speaker 3: the asses, and the second the Bloodline came out, only
• 1:40:14
  Speaker 3: thing the fans were chanting was Solo sucks and we
• 1:40:18
  Speaker 3: want Roman didn't give two ships about that tag team
• 1:40:23
  Speaker 3: Turmoil tax Tam Gauntlet thing anymore. That's where all the
• 1:40:27
  Speaker 3: interest in this is is still in just waiting to
• 1:40:30
  Speaker 3: see Roman come back. So, I mean, and obviously nobody
• 1:40:36
  Speaker 3: we'll get to that. Well, I guess we might as
• 1:40:38
  Speaker 3: well transition to it because I think we've said all
• 1:40:40
  Speaker 3: we got to say about you know, uh, the prior matches.
• 1:40:43
  Speaker 3: So yeah, main event is yeah, sorry, take it over
• 1:40:46
  Speaker 3: right now. But main event is Cody Rose defending his
• 1:40:50
  Speaker 3: WW championship against Solo Soca. And since I'm already ram,
• 1:40:56
  Speaker 3: I'm just gonna go ahead and get my thoughts. Cody's
• 1:40:57
  Speaker 3: gonna win, uh to lose. Obviously there's gonna be interference, Sure,
• 1:41:03
  Speaker 3: maybe somebody. The only interest is in who comes to
• 1:41:07
  Speaker 3: help Cody fight off the blood Line? Is it returning Jimmy? Maybe?
• 1:41:12
  Speaker 3: Is it jay I ain't doing shit else. Is it Sammy?
• 1:41:16
  Speaker 3: He gonna be lumped up from bron So not yet?
• 1:41:21
  Speaker 3: Is it Roman? That's what everybody wants?
• 1:41:24
  Speaker 6: You haven't said Randy yet. I'm suppressed.
• 1:41:27
  Speaker 3: Randy and Kao ain't coming out them the muffies. They
• 1:41:29
  Speaker 3: at the crib nursing their wounds. And honestly, I mean, yeah,
• 1:41:33
  Speaker 3: they'll if they happen to pop up and someone something like, hey,
• 1:41:36
  Speaker 3: we're bag to fighting, they'll get a decent pop. But
• 1:41:39
  Speaker 3: that ain't what people want. That ain't what the real
• 1:41:41
  Speaker 3: interest is. That the real interest is in getting this
• 1:41:45
  Speaker 3: bloodline civil war off the ground and up and running
• 1:41:49
  Speaker 3: at some point till then we're just treading water. So
• 1:41:54
  Speaker 3: it's just a question of how long are we're gonna
• 1:41:55
  Speaker 3: tread water until we finally start doing it. And if
• 1:41:59
  Speaker 3: ever there's a point to kick this off, it's SummerSlam.
• 1:42:03
  Speaker 3: So if I had to put money on it, I
• 1:42:06
  Speaker 3: don't think Roman shows up during the match. I don't
• 1:42:10
  Speaker 3: think Roman shows up till after I think he's that
• 1:42:14
  Speaker 3: going off the air, his music hits and he shows
• 1:42:18
  Speaker 3: up and that's how we close out the show.
• 1:42:22
  Speaker 2: M uh So we have another question right into the show.
• 1:42:29
  Speaker 2: We had two questions tonight, which you can also go
• 1:42:33
  Speaker 2: on to our website on podium dot com or you
• 1:42:38
  Speaker 2: can find our comment page or at the bottom there's
• 1:42:43
  Speaker 2: a section if you want to write into the show.
• 1:42:45
  Speaker 2: So Dave wrote, Nook, you know what. I'm gonna play
• 1:42:48
  Speaker 2: the bumper anyway, and I want to read the question.
• 1:42:50
  Speaker 2: Even though we kind of answered it because very were
• 1:42:53
  Speaker 2: crazy and just want just kept going, I forgot. I
• 1:42:56
  Speaker 2: want to do it anyway.
• 1:43:03
  Speaker 6: Would you like to answer a question?
• 1:43:05
  Speaker 3: Why at this particular.
• 1:43:06
  Speaker 2: Time would you like to do that?
• 1:43:12
  Speaker 6: I want to ask you a bunch of questions. I
• 1:43:15
  Speaker 6: wanted to have them answered immediately.
• 1:43:18
  Speaker 5: Can I ask you a question?
• 1:43:19
  Speaker 6: Man war question?
• 1:43:21
  Speaker 7: I'm sorry about that, Okay.
• 1:43:29
  Speaker 2: Dave, who we've had on the show before, Dave Foster asked,
• 1:43:34
  Speaker 2: will the Rock or Roman Deigns be a SummerSlam? And
• 1:43:38
  Speaker 2: we kind of got into that, but uh, I think
• 1:43:40
  Speaker 2: we can all agree, all of us. Uh, we can
• 1:43:45
  Speaker 2: all agree Roman is going to be there correct, Yes, yes,
• 1:43:49
  Speaker 2: he's gotta be right. And I don't think we're gonna
• 1:43:53
  Speaker 2: get the Rock. I think we're gonna it's gonna be
• 1:43:55
  Speaker 2: a long time, a little bit longer till we see
• 1:43:58
  Speaker 2: the rock again. I think we're all in agreement that correct.
• 1:44:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think we see the Rocky.
• 1:44:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that was that's that's cooking, that's in the back burner.
• 1:44:09
  Speaker 2: That's that's that's the Thanksgiving turkey. That's gonna be a whiles.
• 1:44:15
  Speaker 2: So yeah, Dave, we're all expecting Roman. Yeah, for sure, dude,
• 1:44:23
  Speaker 2: Like that's just the I'm gonna assume they're gonna put
• 1:44:28
  Speaker 2: on a good match, right, I know they're gonna put
• 1:44:30
  Speaker 2: on a good match. It's great to see solo have
• 1:44:33
  Speaker 2: a main event solo match.
• 1:44:36
  Speaker 5: Ah.
• 1:44:38
  Speaker 2: Granted, who knows how many, if not all, blaw Line
• 1:44:41
  Speaker 2: will be down there in his corner, But it's just
• 1:44:47
  Speaker 2: a matter of how Cody's gonna do it. Who's, like
• 1:44:51
  Speaker 2: you guys said before, who's going to be down in
• 1:44:53
  Speaker 2: his corner to cover him. Who's gonna help Cody Rhodes
• 1:44:56
  Speaker 2: win this, because I mean, just one on or I mean,
• 1:45:00
  Speaker 2: it's just not you know, there's gonna be so much
• 1:45:03
  Speaker 2: shit on on the side of the ring. I mean,
• 1:45:05
  Speaker 2: come on, Cody needs some sort of backup of some kind. But,
• 1:45:10
  Speaker 2: like like you said, Dre, like Roman at the end
• 1:45:13
  Speaker 2: of the show, just the way his music is there
• 1:45:16
  Speaker 2: is no running with Roman. That's not the type of
• 1:45:20
  Speaker 2: music that hits that he runs in the ring. I
• 1:45:23
  Speaker 2: think you're right, though the music hits, he shows up
• 1:45:26
  Speaker 2: on the ramp and then that's it. We just fade away,
• 1:45:31
  Speaker 2: little WW logo on the bottom left of the corner.
• 1:45:36
  Speaker 2: I think that's how we end the paper view. It's
• 1:45:37
  Speaker 2: just one of the shock and all's And we've done
• 1:45:39
  Speaker 2: it before. We've done it plenty of times, you know,
• 1:45:43
  Speaker 2: uh Doyle, Yeah, but that's why I think, Doyle, do
• 1:45:47
  Speaker 2: you think the same thing.
• 1:45:49
  Speaker 6: You think.
• 1:45:53
  Speaker 2: This guy yourself? Thank you, Christian Doyle. What do you think?
• 1:46:03
  Speaker 7: Man? Yeah?
• 1:46:04
  Speaker 1: I mean I wish I wish we could had a
• 1:46:06
  Speaker 1: crystal ball and con see who wins that Bloodline DIY match,
• 1:46:11
  Speaker 1: because if Bloodline wins, I think solose chances improved.
• 1:46:16
  Speaker 2: You're absolutely right.
• 1:46:18
  Speaker 7: Yeah, as it stands, they aren't zero.
• 1:46:24
  Speaker 1: And if I had the pencil I would seriously consider
• 1:46:27
  Speaker 1: putting the title on Solo here. And I think it
• 1:46:30
  Speaker 1: makes all the sense in the world to put all
• 1:46:33
  Speaker 1: the titles on this version of the blood Line, kind
• 1:46:35
  Speaker 1: of trying to recreate what Roman and Uzos had.
• 1:46:38
  Speaker 7: With the original blood Line. But there's a couple of
• 1:46:41
  Speaker 7: problems with that.
• 1:46:43
  Speaker 1: The first problem is that the bloodline Civil War might
• 1:46:46
  Speaker 1: not need to involve titles. Kind of part of the bloodline,
• 1:46:51
  Speaker 1: the original Bloodline, sorry anyway, it was about title accumulation,
• 1:46:54
  Speaker 1: but the Civil War maybe doesn't need to have that
• 1:46:57
  Speaker 1: involved in it. Second problem, I do not think there's
• 1:47:02
  Speaker 1: any sugarcoat, but Solo Socoa is not ready to be
• 1:47:07
  Speaker 1: WWE champion. You know, since his introduction, one of the
• 1:47:12
  Speaker 1: main objectives of the storyline seems to be to make
• 1:47:15
  Speaker 1: Solo Soca a thing. Right, He's the tribal air or
• 1:47:19
  Speaker 1: he was, and I think a lot of people forget that, like.
• 1:47:24
  Speaker 7: It just just hasn't happened, you know. It's kind of
• 1:47:29
  Speaker 7: the opposite of what happened to Lastly.
• 1:47:30
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 1:47:30
  Speaker 1: Lastly was kind of supposed to be the next brock
• 1:47:33
  Speaker 1: Lesnar but brock Lessner never really left or never really
• 1:47:37
  Speaker 1: left for a.
• 1:47:37
  Speaker 7: Long period of time.
• 1:47:39
  Speaker 1: Solo Soka was supposed to be like Jacob Fatu, but
• 1:47:42
  Speaker 1: then they went and got Jacob Tattoo, who is just
• 1:47:45
  Speaker 1: better in.
• 1:47:46
  Speaker 7: Every fucking conceivable way, and so is uh.
• 1:47:50
  Speaker 1: He's much better at being Jacob Fatou than Sokoa is.
• 1:47:55
  Speaker 1: Third thing Cody really hasn't a signature moment with this
• 1:47:59
  Speaker 1: title reign, which tells me there's more to go, more
• 1:48:02
  Speaker 1: gas in the tank, you know, after all this build up,
• 1:48:05
  Speaker 1: chasing through two rumbles and two manias. Uh, you know,
• 1:48:09
  Speaker 1: be the guy that finally beats Roman reigns. And if
• 1:48:11
  Speaker 1: he loses after five months without any kind of signature.
• 1:48:15
  Speaker 7: Big feud or moment or whatever, it kind of seems
• 1:48:18
  Speaker 7: like it's all or not, isn't it. Four. We've talked
• 1:48:22
  Speaker 7: about bad bad Blade, blaah bad blood a couple of times,
• 1:48:25
  Speaker 7: coming up by the Toba. Where is it? It's in Atlanta?
• 1:48:29
  Speaker 1: Uh, And I just can't see Tody Cody losing the
• 1:48:32
  Speaker 1: title before then, you know, at maybe at the earliest
• 1:48:37
  Speaker 1: uh there. You know, I think we all probably expect
• 1:48:41
  Speaker 1: Roman back, and it turns out we do.
• 1:48:44
  Speaker 7: Uh.
• 1:48:44
  Speaker 1: The only question is when does he appear and how?
• 1:48:47
  Speaker 1: You know, does he interrupt the match physically or is
• 1:48:49
  Speaker 1: it just like his music hits and Solo goes, oh
• 1:48:52
  Speaker 1: my god, you know, and Cody can roll him up,
• 1:48:55
  Speaker 1: you know, one, two, three, you know, does he come
• 1:49:00
  Speaker 1: out like punkd it a Survivor series?
• 1:49:02
  Speaker 7: You know, just at the end he's music hits, he comes.
• 1:49:04
  Speaker 1: Out in the program, So that'll be interesting going forward.
• 1:49:08
  Speaker 1: I want to know if Ko and Randy play a role.
• 1:49:10
  Speaker 1: I think I think Drey brought them up, you know,
• 1:49:15
  Speaker 1: just kind of just the biggest match, the biggest show
• 1:49:17
  Speaker 1: of the year, and you know, some of these people
• 1:49:19
  Speaker 1: that aren't on the card, you can make a whole
• 1:49:22
  Speaker 1: other card.
• 1:49:23
  Speaker 7: You know, that would be just good.
• 1:49:25
  Speaker 1: I think, you know, jay Uzo isn't on this card,
• 1:49:27
  Speaker 1: Finn's not on the card, Bianca isn't on the card,
• 1:49:30
  Speaker 1: Seamus isn't on the card, Shinske Andre day Stroman, Carlito Gable,
• 1:49:36
  Speaker 1: the fucking Wyatt dipshit, whatever the fuck that is, you know,
• 1:49:40
  Speaker 1: Grayson Wall or no tag Champions, you know, Naomi, Uh,
• 1:49:45
  Speaker 1: you know, it goes on and on and on.
• 1:49:47
  Speaker 7: So I wonder if.
• 1:49:48
  Speaker 1: They play a role. You know, they've certainly got beef
• 1:49:51
  Speaker 1: with the Bloodline. Uh, you know, they're conspicuous in their absence.
• 1:49:57
  Speaker 1: But I don't want every fucking Cody match turn into
• 1:50:00
  Speaker 1: WrestleMania forty.
• 1:50:02
  Speaker 7: You know, that was fun, but we don't need to
• 1:50:04
  Speaker 7: do it every time. You know, you don't need the
• 1:50:08
  Speaker 7: Avengers chilling up to save Cody every time.
• 1:50:11
  Speaker 1: You know, at the end of the day, I think
• 1:50:12
  Speaker 1: Cody will retain. I could see Solo winning the match,
• 1:50:17
  Speaker 1: but by DQ or count out or something. But I
• 1:50:21
  Speaker 1: think Cody retains, and I think one hundred chance we
• 1:50:25
  Speaker 1: get a Roman Ray insighting of some kind.
• 1:50:31
  Speaker 2: Awesome. Yeah, it's gonna be exciting. The way they they
• 1:50:35
  Speaker 2: shut that show down with Roman at the end, Drew,
• 1:50:39
  Speaker 2: do you do you think? Do you are you the one?
• 1:50:43
  Speaker 2: Guys like, nah, no, no, Roman, He's not coming, no
• 1:50:46
  Speaker 2: fucking way.
• 1:50:48
  Speaker 6: Well, so, okay, yeah, you guys are gonna hit me
• 1:50:52
  Speaker 6: or love me for this. This is my theatrical this
• 1:50:56
  Speaker 6: is my understanding of wrestling storytelling, quality of wrestler, who
• 1:51:02
  Speaker 6: should be involved too long? Didn't read it response, Cody's
• 1:51:06
  Speaker 6: gonna walk away as the winner. That's just that's absolute
• 1:51:11
  Speaker 6: gonna happen. But here's my problem. I think this New
• 1:51:15
  Speaker 6: bloodline story or this New Bloodline storyline sucks. I think
• 1:51:20
  Speaker 6: it's happening too quickly, too urgently. I think they needed
• 1:51:24
  Speaker 6: I think they should have either waited or just they
• 1:51:26
  Speaker 6: need They need to slow it down. Here's my thing,
• 1:51:31
  Speaker 6: Tangaloa with that bot slow below. Not every Samoan needs
• 1:51:38
  Speaker 6: to be on Raw and SmackDown. Build the bloodline they
• 1:51:42
  Speaker 6: could be on n XT as well, build a following,
• 1:51:46
  Speaker 6: build this massive you know family and let them you
• 1:51:50
  Speaker 6: know run, you know, all the different divisions and take
• 1:51:54
  Speaker 6: over and fight people and build that energy, build that
• 1:51:57
  Speaker 6: you know, that chaos and bloodline, because they all I've
• 1:52:02
  Speaker 6: seen is the Rock just inviting people to show up,
• 1:52:04
  Speaker 6: and all of a sudden that their main inventors. What
• 1:52:07
  Speaker 6: the hell? I hate that? What do we call it?
• 1:52:13
  Speaker 6: Jacob Fatu is so much more over than Solo and
• 1:52:17
  Speaker 6: I'd rather see Jacob at the forefront of the bloodline.
• 1:52:21
  Speaker 6: I don't think Solo has it. I think Jacob Fatu
• 1:52:23
  Speaker 6: has it. Jacobatu It just impresses me so much more
• 1:52:26
  Speaker 6: in every aspect of wrestling. On that same token, Kevin
• 1:52:33
  Speaker 6: Owhen should never have been part of a storyline. It
• 1:52:35
  Speaker 6: should have been jay Uso. I agree with rakreat with Rakishi,
• 1:52:39
  Speaker 6: what the hell are they doing with the storyline? This
• 1:52:41
  Speaker 6: dude has so much love from the fans and they
• 1:52:44
  Speaker 6: do nothing with them. Why isn't Jayu so involved in
• 1:52:47
  Speaker 6: this bloodline storyline? Especially back in Cody up so that
• 1:52:52
  Speaker 6: I think they went wrong with that right there, and
• 1:52:55
  Speaker 6: then this is gonna be my my take on Cody.
• 1:53:00
  Speaker 6: I think Cody's storylines are very mid right now. They're
• 1:53:03
  Speaker 6: not that exciting. But here's the thing. I don't see
• 1:53:07
  Speaker 6: Cody as the kin of the ring. I see him
• 1:53:11
  Speaker 6: as a circus carney ring leader. You know when he
• 1:53:16
  Speaker 6: does the cartwheels, you know, to talk a j and
• 1:53:20
  Speaker 6: all those little moments. I yeah, again, I see Cody roads.
• 1:53:25
  Speaker 6: It's like a Carney trash ring leader and this is
• 1:53:28
  Speaker 6: his circus. But I want to see Cody's He'll run.
• 1:53:33
  Speaker 6: I want to see the nightmare. I think he will
• 1:53:37
  Speaker 6: crush it as a heel and that's what I want.
• 1:53:40
  Speaker 6: But I do but but but, I mean, Cody's going
• 1:53:47
  Speaker 6: to take it. But again, I think the storyline is
• 1:53:48
  Speaker 6: happening way too quickly, way too soon, and the bloodline,
• 1:53:53
  Speaker 6: especially tong Galo and the other guys, need to like
• 1:53:56
  Speaker 6: build up their actual skills first, because right now this
• 1:54:00
  Speaker 6: is just this is such a mess. And I really
• 1:54:03
  Speaker 6: don't care about this storyline. I really don't.
• 1:54:07
  Speaker 2: Hey, n you got punk true right?
• 1:54:10
  Speaker 6: Yeah? Well do the Drew do the Drew?
• 1:54:15
  Speaker 3: I mean, I see your point of I get your
• 1:54:17
  Speaker 3: point about why Uh No, Jay isn't backing up Cody,
• 1:54:22
  Speaker 3: and it's p obvious reasons they're saving j for when
• 1:54:26
  Speaker 3: it's actual bloodline on bloodline plus Jay's overall.
• 1:54:33
  Speaker 6: Yeah, there is that, but yeah, so I that's the thing.
• 1:54:36
  Speaker 6: I just I think they're discussing into it too quickly,
• 1:54:38
  Speaker 6: and they could do a lot more if they really
• 1:54:41
  Speaker 6: show how impactful the bloodline actually is across the entire ROSTA,
• 1:54:48
  Speaker 6: and they're not doing that. I don't understand why these
• 1:54:51
  Speaker 6: guys are like upfront and center right away without even
• 1:54:54
  Speaker 6: proving themselves because bloodline it doesn't mean anything to me.
• 1:55:02
  Speaker 3: Storyline it means everything in terms of storyline, because I mean,
• 1:55:08
  Speaker 3: even though even though they themselves as individuals aren't the
• 1:55:12
  Speaker 3: main eventors like Roman and Jay and them, the blood
• 1:55:16
  Speaker 3: line itself is a main event storyline. So even if
• 1:55:20
  Speaker 3: and Solo has been in that main event seen by
• 1:55:23
  Speaker 3: Virtue of his brothers in Roman, so even if it's
• 1:55:26
  Speaker 3: his new generation, you know, you just don't You're not
• 1:55:30
  Speaker 3: going to just drop them back to the mid guard
• 1:55:32
  Speaker 3: just because you know they're.
• 1:55:34
  Speaker 6: Well nothing, I mean, that would be that would be ridiculous, right,
• 1:55:37
  Speaker 6: But I think they I think they started them too high,
• 1:55:39
  Speaker 6: too quick. They should have started lower and worked their
• 1:55:42
  Speaker 6: way up.
• 1:55:43
  Speaker 3: And yeah, but but started lower aware It's like.
• 1:55:49
  Speaker 6: I said, an XT you know, or do them their
• 1:55:52
  Speaker 6: own matches.
• 1:55:53
  Speaker 3: So you're gonna take, You're gonna take the blood Line
• 1:55:55
  Speaker 3: from Russellmania main event to.
• 1:55:57
  Speaker 7: N x T.
• 1:56:01
  Speaker 6: Shouted until they didn't introduce until after WrestleMania.
• 1:56:05
  Speaker 3: They should have started talking about the Bloodline as a
• 1:56:08
  Speaker 3: whole because it's still this even though it's different.
• 1:56:10
  Speaker 6: I guess I guess I should be using the world.
• 1:56:12
  Speaker 6: I guess I shouldn't be using the phrase, but bloodline.
• 1:56:15
  Speaker 6: I think the the individual wrestlers that have been introduced
• 1:56:19
  Speaker 6: at recently were rushed to man event too quickly. I
• 1:56:24
  Speaker 6: think they needed time to build and get you know,
• 1:56:28
  Speaker 6: heat from the fans through their own right. Because again,
• 1:56:31
  Speaker 6: I just like, I see Solo and I see a
• 1:56:34
  Speaker 6: bunch of guys standing around them, but they don't mean
• 1:56:36
  Speaker 6: anything to me except for Jacob Fato and uh yeah,
• 1:56:41
  Speaker 6: you know. It's I just think they did the story.
• 1:56:43
  Speaker 6: It's it's like the same reason the DCU failed. They did.
• 1:56:48
  Speaker 6: They did the Justice League first. Marvel proved the formula
• 1:56:52
  Speaker 6: works by introducing Solo people first building up their you
• 1:56:56
  Speaker 6: know their popularity, and then having the Tag Team and
• 1:56:59
  Speaker 6: then having them give the Avengers by introducing the Justice
• 1:57:02
  Speaker 6: League first, that entire universe completely shipped the bed. That's
• 1:57:10
  Speaker 6: what I think.
• 1:57:12
  Speaker 3: I see. I see the point that you're making, and
• 1:57:14
  Speaker 3: I get I get where you're going at it with it.
• 1:57:17
  Speaker 3: My contention is just that I don't know that you
• 1:57:21
  Speaker 3: could have done that given that it was the Bloodline,
• 1:57:26
  Speaker 3: unless you were like because I think think about from
• 1:57:31
  Speaker 3: where we were at post media. Roman was gone, he
• 1:57:34
  Speaker 3: was going on hiatus, Jimmy had just taken an el
• 1:57:38
  Speaker 3: to his brother Jay in the most underwhelming match of
• 1:57:41
  Speaker 3: the last ten years, was drafted to raw, so all
• 1:57:48
  Speaker 3: you had left of Bloodline was Paul Hayman, Solo, and Jimmy.
• 1:57:54
  Speaker 3: So if you had to do the Bloodline name still
• 1:57:59
  Speaker 3: meant something at that point in time, It's still carried
• 1:58:02
  Speaker 3: weight even with Romans absence. So you had to do
• 1:58:06
  Speaker 3: something with the two members who were made Apparently, you know,
• 1:58:10
  Speaker 3: Jay Jimmy was injured and needed time off, so they
• 1:58:12
  Speaker 3: had to write them off television, which then leaves you
• 1:58:17
  Speaker 3: with Solo. So do you just what let the Bloodline
• 1:58:22
  Speaker 3: just fizzle out? As Solo's on SmackDown treading water while
• 1:58:28
  Speaker 3: you build up.
• 1:58:29
  Speaker 6: Well, he doesn't have to go after the heavy, you know,
• 1:58:31
  Speaker 6: like the you know, the universal title. He could have
• 1:58:33
  Speaker 6: gone after any other like.
• 1:58:35
  Speaker 3: You're talking about now, I'm talking post WrestleMania. I'm talking
• 1:58:38
  Speaker 3: about the immediate following of WrestleMania itself. Do you have
• 1:58:43
  Speaker 3: Solo just treading water while Jimmy's at Homer coming from injury,
• 1:58:47
  Speaker 3: Roman's on hiatus. It's just Solo and Paul doing what
• 1:58:52
  Speaker 3: while you've got all these other Samoans on NXT just
• 1:58:56
  Speaker 3: wreaking shop. Maybe in some way there could have been
• 1:59:01
  Speaker 3: a storyline there somehow, but you would have had to
• 1:59:05
  Speaker 3: figure out what to do with Solo by himself on SmackDown.
• 1:59:08
  Speaker 6: I mean, the Rock's daughter is the GM of NXC.
• 1:59:12
  Speaker 6: That's a perfect place to introduce them, like, hey, here's my family.
• 1:59:16
  Speaker 3: That's yeah for them on NXT, But you still have
• 1:59:20
  Speaker 3: to answer the question of what do you do with
• 1:59:22
  Speaker 3: Solo on SmackDown?
• 1:59:24
  Speaker 6: Fire him and send him back to a different promotion.
• 1:59:29
  Speaker 6: I don't like Solo, yeah, I know, I know, like
• 1:59:34
  Speaker 6: at this point, like I like I I just I
• 1:59:36
  Speaker 6: don't know how to fit Solo into a storyline, and
• 1:59:38
  Speaker 6: what they're doing is like really, it's like there's really
• 1:59:40
  Speaker 6: no other options. Like they're doing exactly what they have
• 1:59:43
  Speaker 6: to do.
• 1:59:44
  Speaker 3: And I think, and that's the point I'm making out,
• 1:59:46
  Speaker 3: like they didn't have much too many other options as
• 1:59:49
  Speaker 3: far as where to go. Now, I rushing putting them
• 1:59:54
  Speaker 3: in the title picture. Yeah, admittedly a bit rushed to
• 1:59:59
  Speaker 3: a certain extent. But and perhaps Solo isn't as charismatic
• 2:00:05
  Speaker 3: as a Roman and to a certain and to the people.
• 2:00:09
  Speaker 3: And I'll just say this to the people who are
• 2:00:11
  Speaker 3: just so high on Jacob Fatu and like, oh, he's
• 2:00:15
  Speaker 3: got so much more than Solo, And it's that the
• 2:00:16
  Speaker 3: third I ain't seen it yet. I'm gonna just be honest,
• 2:00:21
  Speaker 3: I ain't seen it yet. Can he go in the ring,
• 2:00:24
  Speaker 3: Yes he can go in the ring. Yes he can
• 2:00:26
  Speaker 3: perform in the ring. But every time I see him
• 2:00:29
  Speaker 3: outside of working in the ring, he's playing like some
• 2:00:34
  Speaker 3: freaking rabbid neanderthal who knows five English words.
• 2:00:40
  Speaker 6: No selling Randy's.
• 2:00:46
  Speaker 3: They've been doing.
• 2:00:50
  Speaker 6: Okay, so that is a common thing.
• 2:00:51
  Speaker 3: Okays have been no selling headshots since the eighties. That
• 2:00:55
  Speaker 3: ain't new, no shit, Okay, that ain't nothing.
• 2:01:01
  Speaker 1: New so old trout that they got.
• 2:01:08
  Speaker 3: Exactly. Yeah, that's a definite sent trope. Never hit them
• 2:01:11
  Speaker 3: in the head. It doesn't work. Yeah, that doesn't mean anything. Yeah.
• 2:01:18
  Speaker 3: But outside of that, again, he's just he walks around
• 2:01:22
  Speaker 3: looking like he like he's still on chapter one of
• 2:01:26
  Speaker 3: the English Rosetta Stone Book. And and to me that
• 2:01:31
  Speaker 3: I I have issue with that if he's really supposed
• 2:01:34
  Speaker 3: to be, you know, all that in the bag of chips,
• 2:01:36
  Speaker 3: the way people gass him up. Let the man act
• 2:01:40
  Speaker 3: like he got a brain on TV. Let him move
• 2:01:42
  Speaker 3: around and talk ors and act like he has some
• 2:01:44
  Speaker 3: intelligence about him. So there's this weird look on his
• 2:01:48
  Speaker 3: face all the time. I mean like they did that
• 2:01:50
  Speaker 3: with in the past, where he always had that look
• 2:01:53
  Speaker 3: on his face, and it worked for his character because
• 2:01:56
  Speaker 3: he had a mouthpiece that talked for him, so he
• 2:01:58
  Speaker 3: was able to play the the you know, the primal
• 2:02:01
  Speaker 3: savage type.
• 2:02:03
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 2:02:03
  Speaker 7: I was kind of surprised when Jacob five two started.
• 2:02:06
  Speaker 1: I mean, now he doesn't deliver soliloquies, but I was
• 2:02:10
  Speaker 1: kind of surprised when he started talking right off the bat,
• 2:02:13
  Speaker 1: because remember Solo was silent for.
• 2:02:15
  Speaker 14: Months and months and months and months, and to me, solo,
• 2:02:20
  Speaker 14: to me, had did the silent did the savage thing
• 2:02:23
  Speaker 14: a little bit better because because he was silent, he
• 2:02:26
  Speaker 14: just looked intimidating without talking.
• 2:02:28
  Speaker 3: He didn't.
• 2:02:29
  Speaker 7: Yes, he was better off not saying anything.
• 2:02:31
  Speaker 3: Right, he just had the intimidating, silent look. And to me,
• 2:02:34
  Speaker 3: that worked better as an intimidator did to me than
• 2:02:38
  Speaker 3: what Jacob Fotsu is doing now. To me, what Jacob
• 2:02:43
  Speaker 3: Fotsu was doing. And maybe it's just because I've seen
• 2:02:46
  Speaker 3: too many Samoans wrestle, it's just trophy as hell for me. Yeah, yeah,
• 2:02:50
  Speaker 3: I think it twenty Yeah, in twenty twenty four, I
• 2:02:53
  Speaker 3: want something better.
